Born Alfred Weisberg-Roberts in Santa Monica, CA, producer/instrumentalist Daedelus wanted to be an inventor from an early age, a sentiment that led to him choosing an artistic moniker (in Greek mythology, Daedalus was known as an inventor, although Weisberg-Roberts also cites the character Stephan Dedalus in James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man — as well as the ship in the Japanese cartoon Robotech — as equally valid reasons for his selection) when he began releasing his own work. Despite the fact that he was formally trained on double bass and bass clarinet, had studied jazz at USC, and could play additional instruments such as the guitar and accordion, Daedelus chose to go the electronica route, often incorporating samples from the '30s and '40s into his IDM and left-field hip-hop.

People often ask me what relevance big data has to their lives. For me, that's an easy question to answer.
I simply point to Facebook, which, like most social networks, is powered by big data at all levels. I note that, for example, every ad you see displayed on the right side of your Facebook page is there because of big data. In other words, what Facebook's systems choose to display there is the result of analytics that plow through every piece of data that you, your friends, and people like you and your friends have ever posted, linked, "liked," viewed, and otherwise interacted with from any within Facebook and other partner sites. The same applies, in their own spheres of operation, to other advertising-supported social networks that you access.
Once I've driven home the unsung but fundamental role of big data in public social networks, I widen the scope of discussion (if people are still paying attention). I point out that many organizations now engage with customers, partners, employees, and other stakeholders over social channels: public, industry-specific, company-proprietary, and various blends of these community models. More and more of us are on various and sundry social networks night and day, at home, and at work—even if we don't think of many of these communities as "social" in the same way that Facebook is.
Social business is the fabric of modern life. So what exactly is it, and does it always depend on big data?
IBM defines social business as the incorporation of social tools, media, and practices into an organization's external and/or internal interactions. Social business enables fluid interaction among you and your customers, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders. Within social networks of various shapes and sizes, members can connect, converse, listen, publish, and share directly with each other, eschewing centralized oversight, rigid workflows, hierarchical access controls, and other control-heavy features of traditional business collaboration tools.
Regardless of the specific online community within which it takes place, what makes any engagement "social" is that it leverages these core engagement principles, each supported by shared infrastructure within the online community:
The inevitability of big data volumes in social business comes from the core social principle: user-driven content sharing. However, we recognize that social networks don't always depend on all of the "3 Vs" of big data to serve their core functions. The smaller social networks, for example, may not yet incorporate petabyte volumes of server-resident user data.
However, all social networks involve unstructured data of various sorts—especially user posts, page impressions, and clicks—and most are geared to real-time high-velocity interaction. And most social networks, if they're successful and attract more members, applications, and usage, will almost certainly accumulate a colossal volume of stored data—especially the bit-intensive unstructured varieties and streaming media—before long.
Within any customer-facing social business infrastructure, businesses can leverage the power of big data to drive the following applications:
Where customer engagement is concerned, big data infrastructure can drive targeted recommendations, offers, conversations, and experiences throughout social business channels. We sometimes refer to this pattern as "next best actions." In practice, next best actions powers social business in the following principal ways:
Regardless of whether it's an outbound or inbound engagement scenario, it's not truly social if it feels like there's a robot on either end of the conversation. To the extent that you can humanize your next-best-action-powered social channels, you're likely to boost experience, satisfaction, retention, productivity, efficiency, influence and loyalty all around.
The next best action of social-business engagement must always be to humanize the next thing you say to any stakeholder at any time, even if in reality it's a bot pretending to be a human or a human reading a bot-scripted response.
How will you individualize, personalize and naturalize every utterance—even those driven by embedded statistical models, business rules, and other algorithmic logic? Please read this blog for tips on how to keep the human feel in your social business engagements, and let me know your thoughts on this topic in the comments.

Phil Jackson just compared the McCourts to the Maloofs
Phil most certainly has an ego the size of Los Angeles and he's been known to exaggerate a tiny bit throughout his career, but still – that's pretty damning to say that publicy.
For those that aren't aware, the McCourt's (a former husband and wife currently going through a nasty divorce) were the owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers before Major League Baseball overtook the team earlier this afternoon. MLB Commissioner Bug Selig felt Frank McCourt was neglecting and improperly running the Dodger franchise – obviously the point Jackson was attempting to make with his comparison.
I kinda like you, Phil. Well, at least for a few days. I do have my limits, you know.

text: I am shooting a 2013 Martin Pantera that I got last summer. I shot it for about two months when I noticed the string was coming apart where it rubs on the cam (Fury XT) I called Martin and the customer service guy was nice and helpful and said there was a problem with my mod so he sent me a new mod and string. I shot it through hunting season last fall without any problems but I picked it up last week to begin getting ready for hunting season this year. I gave it a good inspection before shooting making sure everything was tight. It shot fine for a few days and yesterday I went to shoot it and it made a horrible popping/ snaping noise about middle of my draw. I quickly let off my draw because it was loud enough and concerning enough sounding I was afraid the thing was going to blow up in my hands. I looked it over, checked everything for tightness, cracks, any visible damage, etc. From what I can tell it looks to be in fine working condition other than the string is beginning to wear a little again where it rubs the cam when drawn. I pulled it back a number of times afterwards and it is continuing to make that noise when being drawn. Any ideas?

Cades Cove Campground (NPS Campground)
[ 10/10 ]
We stay here every May. Have had only good experiences. Well maintained. No showers available. Restrooms are always clean. Close to camp store, where they sell camping supplies, groceries, and hot foods. Another store on the premises sells souvenirs and ice cream cones. There's also a bike rental shack. Also available guided horse tour, buggy rides. Cades Cove Loop is a wonderful place to see nature at it's best, including wild animals- black bear, deer, turkeys, coyotes, wild boar, snakes, birds and more. Gorgeous scenery all around with old homesteads to walk through. Lots of nature trails. We love it there!

Natural Bridge State Resort Park - Middle Fork Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We enjoyed our stay very much. Yes, it is a smaller campground, but that just helps it to be a nice and quiet site. There only 2 negatives that we can say about the campground. The hook-ups are in awkward positions. We and most other campers had to run our water hose and electric hook-ups under the RV to the opposite side. No big deal unless your hook-ups won't reach. The trash dumpster is on the outside of the campground and across the road, due to keeping animals out of the campground. This was a small problem for us, because we are both physically impaired. So we had to put our trash in the trunk of car and drive to the dumpster each evening. The sites are close, but well maintained. I believe each site had at least one shade tree, picnic table, and fire ring. We stayed in one of the pull-thru's that made it very convenient for us. The center section are pull-thru's and are very level. The first row of back-ins have a slight incline. The row along the creek/stream appear to be pretty level, also. We will definitely stay there again.

Early voting for the July 31 Democratic and Republican Primary Election run-off begins Monday July 23, and continues through Friday, July 27.
According to Texas Secretary of State Esperanza "Hope" Andrade registered voters who voted in the primary held May 29 can vote in the same party run-off election. "If a registered voter did not vote in the primary, they may vote in either party's run-off election," Andrade said.
The run-off determines who will be the party candidate in the Nov. 6 general election.

Welcome to the All-Star break, folks. Here's the latest Nats news on this Monday, July 14.
Nats prospects test mettle in Futures Game
INNEAPOLIS — Lucas Giolito was one of those special prospects it seemed most every scout and coach wanted to see during Sunday afternoon's SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game. This is partly because the baseball world has gotten to see so little of the special talents possessed by Giolito, who had Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery shortly after the Nationals took him with the 16th overall selection in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft.
To some, Giolito might still be "that guy the Nationals took a chance on, despite knowing he was dealing with a tender elbow." To those who have seen or kept close tabs on the 19-year-old right-hander, he is the guy who has the potential to be one of baseball's top pitchers within the next couple of years.
But when given a chance to compete against the game's other best prospects on Sunday, Giolito was reminded that he was far from the only special talent who had been invited to Target Field for this event. With the fifth pitch of his appearance, Giolito hung a 79-mph first-pitch curveball that Javier Baez drilled the other way for a two-run homer that accounted for all of the World team's offense in a 3-2 loss to the United States team. Read full article here.
Clippard to represent Nats in All-Star Game
PHILADELPHIA — On Sunday morning, right-hander Tyler Clippard received word that he would represent the Nationals in the All-Star Game in Minnesota.
It will be the second All-Star appearance for Clippard. His first came in 2011, when the right-hander picked up the victory as the National League won, 5-1.
Clippard entered that game in the fourth inning with runners on first and second, two outs and the American League leading, 1-0. On an 0-2 fastball, Adrian Beltre singled to left field, but then-Astros outfielder Hunter Pence threw out Jose Bautista at the plate to end the inning. Read full article here.
Strasburg gets the call for Nats vs. Lohse, Brewers
Right-handed aces Kyle Lohse and Stephen Strasburg will kick off a very charged series between Washington and Milwaukee to begin the second half.
The Nationals were upset that injured starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann was their only selected representative at this year's All-Star Game at Target Field before right-handed reliever Tyler Clippard was tabbed to join the squad on Sunday afternoon.
But that's all they have to complain about in their attempt to overcome a disappointing 2013. Read full article here.

Greatist News examines and explains the trends and studies making headlines in fitness, health, and happiness. Check out all the news here.
Why can some people hop on the treadmill with ease while others struggle to make it past the mile mark? We may be able to blame (or bless!) our genetics. In the past few years, scientists have discovered how specific gene variations could predict our VO2max response to training (how the body consumes oxygen), which is a popular measurement of endurance [1].
Now there's a genetic test by XRGenomics, a British genetics research company, that looks at individual genetic makeup and predicts whether people are built to benefit from aerobic exercise. For $318, users receive a simple kit and send off a saliva sample, where they wait a few weeks for the "the news" — whether they're a low or high responder to aerobic exercise. For an extra $160, people can receive personalized advice from the company's scientific board based on their test results.
The problem is the test only looks at the genes that influence an individual's VO2 max, which may not be the best indicator of physical fitness [2]. Moreover, if people find out they're "low" responders to aerobic exercise, they may be less inclined to work out. And don't forget: The test doesn't do much beyond tell people how they may respond to exercise. It won't predict how exercise may affect blood pressure, insulin levels, or the ability to shed a few pounds. The test also isn't, um, particularly cheap.
But there is a bright side. Scientists behind the test hope it will help people tailor their exercise regime to something that's most beneficial to their body. High responders may be motivated to keep up with aerobic workouts, while low responders may switch to strength training or other forms of exercise to get their sweat on.
Test or no test, don't forget that genetics don't automatically determine our fitness fate. (They account for closer to 50 percent of people's response to endurance training [1].) Becoming faster, stronger, and a bit more flexible comes down to hard work and dedication, not to mention a positive attitude.
Would you be willing to buy this genetic test? Let us know in the comments below, or tweet the author @lschwech.

Impotence and Hereditary Problems
It is not often that people are able to get over there erectile dysfunction if they have a hereditary defect. Many men in the world just have skinny blood vessels and arteries, which makes the blood flow to the penis very weak in general. When this is compounded with a poor diet that fills up with cholesterol and plaque, you have the result for a very young impotent person.If you are facing a hereditary disease that you contracted from your father, it is something that you may not have total control over. However, if you are able to control the diet that you eat on a regular basis, you will definitely be able to avoid having problems. Make sure you are eating foods that are high in the good cholesterol, such as eggs and fish, and not the bad types of cholesterol, such as red meat that is corn fed. These things will make a huge difference in whether your hereditary problem comes to fruition.

Lakewood Ranch hosts Tour of Homes
Date: November 7, 2012
by: Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — With new home sales on the rise, Lakewood Ranch is showcasing its best designs and newest communities.
Now through Nov. 18, Lakewood Ranch is celebrating its 15th annual Tour of Homes, an event that highlights Lakewood Ranch's newest communities and home models.
This year's tour, which features 47 models — the most yet — includes 15 models that are new to the tour, including six models that opened in recent weeks.
Guests can visit models from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, in the Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club, Country Club East, the Lake Club, Central Park, Greenbrook and Esplanade.
"There's not any other community locally or in the state that has as many models that they can come in and view at one time," said Rachel Gray, event coordinator for LWR Communities, a subsidiary of Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch. "Haddington in Country Club East is the newest neighborhood within Country Club East and the newest in all of Lakewood Ranch. This is their grand opening."
Tour of Home booklets, with information on models and builders, are available at Lakewood Ranch Information Center locations: 6220 University Parkway, Sarasota; 6310 Lakewood Ranch Blvd., Bradenton; and 8307 Lake Club Blvd., Bradenton.
For more information, visit lakewoodranch.com.
Happenings during the Tour
A number of community events also are happening during the Tour of Homes, including The Out-of-Door Academy's Thunder Fun Day Nov. 10 and the Ponies under the Palms Mustang and Ford Show Nov. 18.
The closure of Viking Culinary Center on Lakewood Ranch Main Street forced a change of venue for a few events, particularly those associated with the Truffle Festival Nov. 16 and Nov. 17.
The Nov. 16 dinner has been moved to Mattison's 41, in Sarasota, and the Nov. 17 event has been moved to the Polo Grill and Bar.
"We just moved the location; everything stayed the same," said volunteer event coordinator Sandy Loevner, president of the board of directors for Florida Winefest.
A one-year anniversary celebration for Viking, slated for Nov. 18, has been canceled.

Our new VP of Customer Happiness and Success, Cliff Cate, sat down with me this week to chat about his new role, his vision for ToutApp this year, and why his passion is helping customers get the most out of technology.
Well actually, I sat down with him. He's the type of guy that on his second day in, made an effort to plan 1:1's with each member of the company. If you were to ask me my first impression of him, I'd say he was immediately friendly, happy, and smart; someone that we're all going to use as a resource. Funny enough, my instincts were right. When I asked him to name three words to describe himself, he said, "Driven, Humble, and Analytical. The same words, but said in a different way.
We started by getting real from the get go. I asked him, "Cliff, give me your honest answer, why ToutApp? And, why now?"
Cliff has a seasoned background of being an Executive in the Customer Success field for the past 19 years. He helped his last company, GoodData, grow 12x in terms of customer growth to 130,000 users. Before that he worked at CaseCentral, Oracle, Stellent, Viant and Accenture.
So Cliff, why now?
There are two reasons: "Historically sales tools have mainly been designed for sales management with little focus on the individual salesperson. There's a huge opportunity to help salespeople be more effective and productive; sales is changing to have a more systematic element to it. The second reason is ToutApp's Culture. Companies thrive or die based on their company culture. ToutApp's strong culture is apparent immediately when you meet the team, and reinforced the more time you spend with them."
He told a story about his first coffee meeting with our CEO TK. TK got him when he started talking about the team and how much our customers loved the product.
"I did research and looked at all of the great customers ToutApp already has and it was clear that ToutApp has a huge opportunity."
In no more than two words, I asked him to describe what we do. "Kick-Ass Salespeople."
I thought that was the perfect answer.
I asked him to describe to me his journey into customer success in more detail:
"I've always loved technology, but more so, I've always loved helping people use technology. I started my early career working for technology consulting firms. That evolved into providing a broader focus on everything that it takes to support customers in a Saas company: onboard, training, support, proactive advice, usage analytics and renewals."
He worked his way up through software companies.
"To me Saas is a game changer for customers because, as a subscription business, the customer's success needs to be aligned with the software company's success. We have to be providing value every day or customers can vote with their feet and leave."
I asked him what his main focus will be at ToutApp, and if he could tell me the three goals he has upon entering this role.
"I will be making sure that customers get the most out of ToutApp and it's improving their job. That's our number one priority."
My other top priorities include:
Continue to grow our great team of Happiness Officers
Develop easier to consume training and best practices for our customers
Make sure we are always responsive to our customer needs and we are funneling their feedback into our product roadmap
So my last honest question for him (and probably one that is on all of our minds), "Why do you love Customer Success and where do you think that it is going?"
Without a beat, and with a genuine answer, he said:
"On occasion, you'll run into unhappy customers, but I wouldn't say that's the majority of the issues. The positive aspects greatly outweigh everything else. It's about helping the customer discover the product and using it to it's capacity. Every time they reach out is an opportunity to help customers be better at their job. The moments when a customer gets it, or can do something they weren't able to do before, is what gets people motivated."
After chatting with Cliff, I decided to shoot over a quick question to TK. After all, he spent all of Q1 leading the search for this position. I asked him, "What got you excited about Cliff?"
TK wrote back:
"In case our customers haven't figured it out by now, we're the visionaries in the business. Our mantra has always been to question everything, think in terms of first principles, and come to the best solution. When it comes to leading an organization that is obsessed about Customer Happiness in terms of Service, Support and Lifetime Revenue, there are only a small handful of people that have the vision, foresight and knowledge/experience to do the job. Cliff has all three and we are super excited and lucky to have him joining Team ToutApp."

Date: 3 September 2012
Notes: 7 notes
Let me tell you a little story about a band.
Well, first, it's a story about a guy. His name is James Radick, and a few years ago, 2008 to be exact, he reached out to me and asked me if he could play a show. At that point, Fusion Shows was already underway, but we were still regularly presenting shows at the Hartland Performing Arts Center.
His first show was at the PAC, solo under his own name. Then he told me he had a band, Good Weather For Airstrikes. With Hero No Day members David Boeving and Aaron Newton on guitar and bass, and former Border Patrol drummer Bill Grant rounding out the lineup, GWFA had a full lineup for the first time. Their first show was at the 700 Bowl in South Lyon, as part of our summer series there. It was rough.
But they were sweet kids who tried real hard. Never mind the fact that James couldn't keep his guitar in tune, and had this real hard time looking people in the eye. I saw a triumph in watching his band develop, fall apart, and then develop again.
A few years later, the band locked in a full-time lineup, and began to develop a heavy post-rock sound. Three former members of Livingston County bands (mostly ska bands) joined up with James, and Good Weather For Airstrikes started making some waves. With Bill remaining on drums, fellow Border Patrol alum Josh Fenn on bass, and Failed Attempt 52's Joe Hillier on lead guitar, GWFA developed a signature sound never before heard in our area. And they got good. Real good. Live tones improved, stage presence got way better, and suddenly, they were a force to be reckoned with locally and beyond.
They performed packed shows with bands such as Lydia, As Tall As Lions, The Dear Hunter, La Dispute, and they sold out their own headlining shows at the Howell Opera House. They worked harder than most other bands, and most importantly, they were incredibly humble and they listened when people gave them constructive criticism. They practiced hard. They showed up early to their shows, helped set up, offered to help tear down and clean up. They were often found in the front row at other local bands' shows, singing along and just being a part of it.
They were, in essence, the perfect local band.
Today, they announced that they were breaking up. I can't say that I'm surprised. It's been four years, and while they've accomplished a lot, releasing two records (2010's Yearning EP, and the 2011 full-length release To Have Our Hearts Emptied, To Be Left As We Came, which James affectionately refers to as "long ass album title"), packing local shows, doing some regional touring, it seemed like the wind had gone out of the sails. The band remains friends, and I can't imagine that we won't see all 4 members in local bands again very soon.
I'm bummed to see them go, and while we still have a few chances to see them locally (including being a part of the big announcement coming tomorrow), I'm excited that individually, they'll remain a vital part of our community. James has been a big part of this music scene since he started coming around in 2007, and will continue to be so, as one of the main organizers of the Livingston Underground movement. He'll be very vocal in helping lead the way around here.
I can't wait for you guys to hear what we both have to say tomorrow.

|home message archive theme fiction writing theory pop about my gifs follow forever next
I'm Jon. Increasingly fond of the term Queer. Increasingly concerned about myself. A ghost ate my everything burrito and I was sad but it was a dream about a dog.
I write stuff about Pop Culture and post in on a site called Theory Pop.
Contrary to popular belief, Chris Parnell did not perform my Brit Milah.
"The end of my dissertation."
"No, no, no, no. Not that. There are more important things than that. More important things, like time, like oceans, like the nexus of an infinite number of turning stars. No, no, no, no. Not that. I don't want any of those things to end. I want to continue on forever with them. I want to straddle the stars and see the future as it was and will and never can be and I can't. I am limited. I am always limited. I should be a god. Why else is it me? Why is it me seeing through my eyes, as if I'm the only one in the world who does? As if only I see things from my perspective, as if I'm the centre, as if I'm the nexus, as if I am oceans and time and bread and the point at which everything stops and starts and I can never be anything more than this.
"I am so tired. I am so tired."
River turned to the Doctor and smiled an old smile. One he had seen more than once, that same old smile. He was glad she was here for this. Thirteen lives he had lived, thirteen times he had saved the day. Sure, he might have companions, he might have partners, travelling souls he acquired like strays, but River was the only one he knew could keep coming back.
"You have done so much."
The soon-to-be Doctor Song lifted up the Doctor's hat and placed it on his head. Again, she smiled. He knew she was doing it on purpose now.
"But I saved myself."
All that work. All that work for nothing. He had saved himself. A timelord can only live thirteen lives, and he had lived all of them. He had lived them all, and broken every rule to make sure that he could keep on living. Keep on saving. The Narrative had told him what would happen if he stopped travelling. He had spent so many lives worrying he was doing damage, but now he knew he could not stop. Now he knew he could not stop and there was no way to do anything but that.
He was going to stop.
The fortress hummed louder. It hummed to a tune of Davros' creation, one of destruction, one of desolation, one of gradual decay for all it touched. Only the Doctor could stop it, because he was the only one left to die. He had seen the futures of his companions, Kat and Molly, and he knew that their timelines were fixed. He had seen River's future, and knew for certain that her timeline was fixed. He could see it in River's eyes that she knew too.
"Go on then, sweetie."
Her eyes watched him as he entered the chamber. There was no other option but to channel all of Davros' destructive power into that one single point. It might not destroy everything inside, but it would destroy most of it. There was no regeneration here.
It was time for him to end.
The Doctor pulled the lever and let go as the humming took him over completely.
New York.
Because I will be working at 30 Rockefeller.
"I was remembering around that."
What if the new season of Community isn't very good?
Undergrad. A lot less impending futureness.
The fuck does this mean? My favourite academics?
Sort of like 30 Rock, but where the show we make is more like Community or Parks and Rec, or 30 Rock.
Sometimes I worry I may be too handsome.
How DOES one get a pocket full of sunshine.
My winning smile.
What if the world was ruled by cats that DIDN'T have opposable thumbs.

The author of "Streetcar's benefits get greater over time" (Oct. 9) states that I speculated that the route of the streetcar changed since the 2007 study justifying the economic development value of the streetcar.
The author goes on to say that the route is identical. The current streetcar route is 3.6 miles long (See www.cincinnati-oh.gov/streetcar/design-route). The route studied in the HDR 2007 study was 3.9 miles long (see page 10 of the study).
I agree with the author that delays add to cost. However, three years of delay, when the CPI over those three years has been an average of 2.3 percent per year, does not justify a more than doubling of the capital cost and an estimated tripling of the operating subsidy.
I applaud Over-the-Rhine's redevelopment. It is truly wonderful to see the transformation which has occurred and is continuing to occur. This redevelopment has occurred without the streetcar being built.
You cannot attribute the rebirth of Over-the-Rhine to an unbuilt streetcar. The benefits referred to in the 2007 study were, for the most part, in increased real estate value of unutilized and underutilized real estate.
Given that many of the properties along the streetcar route have already been redeveloped, you cannot use this value on the benefit side of the equation for justification of the streetcar.
We have limited economic development dollars to spend on making our city better. We have to use those scarce dollars where they will do the most good.
The streetcar is not the place to spend those dollars.

"When you allow the Lord to have complete control of your life, you suddenly discover a new-found liberty. Paul tells us where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. We are promised a freedom—freedom from worry, from anxiety, from fear, from doubt. Jesus is the one that gives us that liberty. But we must first allow him to be the Lord of our life. What happens is we keep on wanting to take back our old bondages. Instead of freedom in the Spirit, we look to our own weak and foolish nature for help. The results are predictable— we fall back in the same tracks as before. Instead of freedom, we find chains. Instead of deliverance, we find problems. Instead of joy, we discover fear. Instead of liberty, we return to captivity. Christ came to set us free. But we must first allow the Spirit to minister to us."

Come and fish the aqua waters off Broome and experience the thrill of the magnificent Sailfish and Marlin
Broome is the Sailfish capital of Australia and we've been privileged to have operated game fishing charters in Broome since 1996.
So come aboard "Billistic" our custom 40 foot game fishing boat and catch a Sailfish, Marlin or one of the many Pelagic species.
Sailfishing is one of the most spectacular forms of fishing with speckie jumps, back flips and tail-walks not uncommon. Don't worry the Sailfish and Marlin are released unhurt to fight another day!
The Broome game fishing Season starts in April and lasts till October/November fish dependent
We specialize in Game Fishing Only which cover Sailfish, Marlin, Spanish Mackerel, Tuna and Cobia. The Sailfish turn up in numbers late June and finish in Oct/Nov. Sailfishing is all light tackle so your partner and kids can join in too. We pride ourselves in being the best at what we do, you won't be disappointed.
Game fishing for Sailfish, Marlin and most pelagic's onboard Billistic is done by switch baiting off teasers. We exclusively use circle hooks approved by the Billfish Foundation, this has increased hook ups and dramatically reduced injury to the Sailfish.
All fishing gear is supplied as well as lunch, nibbles, soft drinks & water. All you need to bring is a hat, sunglasses (Polarized are essestial), camera and alcohol if required. The boat is equiped with an onboard toilet.
A day charter starts at 7.30 pickup and arrives back around 4.30pm.
For details of costs please see the Charter Information page.

Are Corner Home Bar Layouts The Best Design?
Depending on how you define an at home bar, along with your entertainment goals and most likely the floor-plan restrictions of your house, choosing a layout is usually the starting point and maybe the biggest decision you'll face with your personal pub. Design styles, material choices, overall scale (many times driven by the number of seating positions desired), budget and a host of other features and amenities can all be adapted into that first form factor once decided.
A number of generic interior design options are generally available to most. However, if other aspects will allow, the corner home bar layout offers a number of advantages that the straight, standalone and other floor plan designs do not which should be considered when weighing your decision on what's best.
Keep in mind that your contractor can install a freestanding main bar unit in front of built in carpentry work and form a corner layout arrangement on site by anchoring it to the floor. This option is desirable where a significant amount of specialized craftsmanship makes it not practical, cost effective or beyond the capabilities of a single vendor. Only a minimal amount of coordination would be required to match woods, stain color and molding patterns during the initial design phase if you take this route.
Top 7 Reasons Why Corner Layouts May Be The Best Home Bar Designs:
- Bar tends to the party and the pub
- Not a bad seat in the house
- Ergonomic elixir engineering
- Maximum features, minimum footprint
- Possibilities equal personality
- Compatible construction
- Scale size to suit
Host Your Party - Don't Just Tend Bar
As the master of ceremonies, you can see the whole party and all of your guests depending on the other features of the room or at least see more than many other layout designs while you're bartending. If you own your own home bar and are not catering the party, the barback is you as well.
This center of attention corner arrangement is great for making announcements, coordinating surprises, being social and just keeping on eye out to make sure everyone is having a good time. You won't necessarily be tied down behind the bar all night or all party long, especially if you have self-service taps supplied by a beer kegerator or are serving drinks by the pitcher, but you'll probably be there a lot.
Best Seats In The House - Standing Room Only Still Has A Good View
Patrons at your pub can see the whole backbar area, normally built as two units at 90 degrees along the wall intersection, as well as a great view of a corner mounted television. You also have the option of multiple TVs with good visibility for showing two or more different games if its a sports themed party for example.
Add in a curved or angled bar top which is the best home bar design for conversation and you will have cornered the market on a perfect entertainment center (or at least your neighborhood). Once word gets out, your usual guest list of family, friends and neighbors will be joined by people who suddenly want to be your new BFF and probably a few party crashers too.
Time Saving Tipple Techniques
The bartender (most likely that's you) has everything within reach usually by turning around between the main bar and the back bar with little walking back and forth, depending on overall size. Pretty handy and a real time saver for large parties.
This corner design advantage probably shouldn't rank too high on your priority list though. Its best to limit the size of the drinks menu anyway so preparation isn't overwhelming and if it is you doing the bartending, you want some time to party yourself and not just be mixing cocktails for everyone else the whole time. See reason #1.
Don't Bogart That Joint My Friend - Pass It Over To Me
A home bar built into a corner is an efficient use of space. This layout uses the minimum area for the same features as a straight bar for example, where much of the aisle behind the bar is not needed in a corner arrangement.
For those of you actually reading why the best home bar design is a corner layout and not just looking at the pictures, the subtitle is in reference to needlessly monopolizing extra area in your house that could be used elsewhere. Not what the Easy Rider soundtrack lyrics or the later Little Feat cover song on The Last Record Album were referring to (whatever that was).
Options Open Up Opportunity For Best Bar Design For You & Your Home
Corners have lots of additional design options available and extra possibility equals more personality. Take the backbar for example.
Multiple panel and shelf units can be incorporated including cutting the corner straight across or following the angle and endless combinations in between. Seating arrangements, cabinets, amenities, decor and appliances all have more opportunity to be incorporated into what is the best home bar design for you and your entertaining goals. Why limit your choices if this accommodating style can be worked into your plans?
Two Is Better Than One - Don't Get Designed Into A Corner
Using two walls may offer more flexibility for utility runs such as electricity and water. In cold climates for example, you do not want to run water lines and plumbing in outside walls due to the potential for freezing pipes which may then burst causing water damage. Unless your home bar corners along two outside perimeter walls, you will have insurance on at least one interior wall in your house being available for use for safe utility servicing as opposed to being forced to route utilities thru floor joists.
Handles Tight Corners On A Grand Scale
Corner floor plan layouts can be scaled while maintaining most if not all of these advantages. Getting larger reduces the space efficiency and adds more walking for your home bar tender, but also opens up more design possibilities elsewhere. A thumbnail of one of the smallest home bars is inset in the picture of one of the largest home bars, both corner layout designs. At approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, the smallest bar is roughly the size of one of the chairs seated at the largest bar and serves as a dramatic visual comparison of the range of sizes possible.
So, is the corner layout the best home bar design for you?

Laidback Luke @ Sankeys (20th January 2012)
After hours of driving, shopping for alcohol, getting ready, vomming and wandering around Manchester trying to find Sankeys, we arrived and managed to go straight through to the venue without even showing tickets (not sure whether that's a good or bad thing). We were told by a random girl that we wouldn't have a chance getting inside as it was after 12AM but she was wrong, we clearly had no problem getting in. Being very excited to see Laidback Luke we wandered around for a while raving to a bit of Jason Herd and Oliver Twizt, who got the crowd buzzing and from what I remember put on good sets. Finally the 3AM mark came and the basement was ram-jam, we worked our way to the front of the DJ booth and raved for the next 3 1/4 hours. Managed to get quite a lot of eye contact, photographs and a hi five from Luke, not forgetting he put on an amazing set, he was loving life non stop and knew exactly what tunes to play and when to play them to keep the crowd going. There wasn't one moment at all that anyone was stood still.
I'm a massive fan of Laidback Luke, even more so since he has been invovled with Example AKA Elliot Gleave, and I'm already on the look out for future events. Sadly a lot of this year he will be spending touring outside of the UK. Overall, I had a night I will never forget, and this guy is definitely a DJ to look out for.

News Category: Final Fantasy Type-0
Tags: Final Fantasy Type-0, Square Enix, Yoshinori Kitase
Square Enix opened an official blog for Final Fantasy Type-0 today. The honour of first post went to the game's producer, Yoshinori Kitase, who issued a message to those anticipating the game under an entry titled "Class Zero Journal Open!"
To be rather vague in my amateur translation, Kitase first talks about the reveal of Final Fantasy Type-0 back in January, the first time the game had been publicly shown after the title "Final Fantasy Agito XIII" was dropped. He goes into further depth about the name ("Reishiki" in Japan) and noting that the game must be distinguished from the mainstream Final Fantasy series. The desire is to create something new and build up a new series (I believe this has been spoken of before, and Square Enix filed a bunch of copyrights to that effect). Kitase calls it the origin of a new number.
What will the blog be used for after this? Based on history, various members of the team will discuss their roles and what their work has achieved, it will probably advertise whatever merchandise the Square Enix Goods team happens to spew out and maybe Nomura will draw something cute when the game comes out. Check it out if it thrills you, it's all in Japanese anyway.
Class Zero Journal (Final Fantasy Type-0 Official Blog)
Continuing the first part, Famitsu has posted their Final Fantasy XIII-2 interview from the 1st Production Premier. The interview with Kitase and Toriyama, answers the basics that many of us are unclear about with the sequel as well as more complex questions concerning story tie-ins with bonus material provided with the original. The interview has been translated and summarised (all be it, in great detail) by Andriasang and is available in it's entirety below.
The Final Fantasy XIII-2 part of the interview is story focused, so those who haven't finished FFXIII may want to avoid reading the summary. I ain't spoiler taggin' nothin'.
Famitsu first asked for a recap of how the project came to be. The main reason they decided to make a sequel, said Toriyama, is that there was demand throughout the world. In addition to this, Toriyama and the development staff wanted to portray the Lightning character further. The original FFXIII ended with a lingering question: is Lightning really happy? Final Fantasy XIII-2 will come to a clear conclusion.
The "Episode I" after story novella that was included as a bonus with the first print run of the Japanese Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII serves as the prologue of XIII-2. Famitsu pointed out that Episode I shows the various characters from FFXIII returning to their normal lives. Does this mean that Lightning will be on her own? Also, Famitsu asked, will the purpose of Lightning's new journey be to find a method of helping Vanille and Fang?
Regarding the latter point, Toriyama noted that being helped by the sacrifice of the two characters left a wound in the hearts of everyone. The story will of course show not just Lightning, but the other allies who were hurt by that, Toriyama assured. Additionally, there will be a number of new characters.
Similar to the Dengeki interview, Famitsu's interviewers asked if there would be any Final Fantasy X-2 style dancing and singing in XIII-2. XIII-2 will have have a serious direction, Kitase replied. Toriyama noted that considering Vanille and Fang are gone and the world is in a state where Cocoon had fallen, there's no way for the new story to be totally peaceful. XIII-2 will have a darker and more mysterious side over XIII.
Famitsu asked if XIII-2 will possibly being set in the dark world that Lightning is wandering around in at the end of the Episode I novella. Toriyama responded that the principal setting will be different from that of XIII, but he assured that the FFXIII world will be in the game in some form.
As part of the story of the original, Lightning has lost her l'Cie abilities (summons, casting magic, etc.). In response to this observation from Famitsu, Toriyama joked that perhaps Lightning has become an even more incredible existence than a l'Cie. Famitsu countered that she certainly has become sexier. Toriyama responded that even though she's probably more explosed (I must be missing something here because she doesn't look more exposed to me!), similar to the original, they're valuing her refined and noble qualities. He added that her clothing has a more fantasy feel to it this time, and the design of her weapons and other such items will match.
Commenting on the trailer, Famitsu noted that there's a scene which shows Lightning standing in front of what looks like an alter. That's actually not an altar but a seat, corrected Toriyama, and it has great significance.
Famitsu also pointed out that when Lighthing and the mysterious new guy shown in the trailer line up back to back, they look like angel and devil. "Which is the angel and which is the devil?" joked Toriyama. He added, Lightning has a new mission this time, and as she attempts to fulfill this mission, she'll end up in a confrontation with the guy. He's a powerful character who can fight on equivalent ground with Lightning, the hero who saved the world.
One final point: if you have Final Fantasy XIII save data, you may want to hold on to it. The team is investigating the possibility of giving something to players who have save data in place.

As well as the other Fabula Nova Crystallis titles, Final Fantasy Type-0 will have new details revealed in this weeks Dengeki. The article will comprise of a four page spread with an additional page dedicated to an interview with Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama. Here are the new details for Type-0 that have leaked out so far.
• The keyword for the battle system is "Magic in Action." While you have weapons, magic is main.
• A main concept is "It's not necessary for everyone to gather." The game has a multiplayer system that can be enjoyed by • solo players too.
• You can join other players' games for three minutes. While you can extend this, Type-0 is not the type of game where you play together with other players continuously.
• The game will have 12+2 main characters. This means that in addition to the 12 main characters, there will be two characters, Makina and Rem, in a different framework. These 12+2 characters will be your controllable party.
• You can have up to three characters out in battle simultaneously. Once someone dies, other members will come out to help.
• Until you come to the battle field, you move around the world map and execute a strategy.
• As you play on your own, other players will gradually take part in the battle.
• When you help other players, you earn points.
• In general, your full party heads to the battle field together.

Update – Extended version: Andriasang
With Dengeki and Famitsu both coming out with new Fabula Nova Crystallis articles this week, it was inevitable that information would leak out early. Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be covered in a two page spread in this weeks Dengeki with a one page interview with director Motomu Toriyama and producer Yoshinori Kitase. Here are the key details covered in the article that have been leaked so far.
• XIII-2′s story begins in Gran Pulse after the ending of XIII.
• The story will feel like it expands out from the after story that was included in the booklet with Xbox 360′s Final Fantasy XIII International.
• Outside of Lightning, other characters will appear in the game in unexpected forms. Some will see major changes.
• XIII-2 is a full sequel. You'll learn some of the things that took place in the background scenes of XIII.
• The story will be more dark and mysterious than XIII's.
• The story will focus on the goddess Etro.
• The game will not have the pop feel of Final Fantasy X-2
• The battle system will be an evolved form of XIII's ATB system.
• They're listening to opinions both inside and outside of Square Enix and from outside of Japan regarding characters, story and interface.
• There may be a difficulty setting.

UPDATE: Extended Version – Andriasang
At Square Enix's 1st Production Department Premiere, a trailer was shown detailing the mythology behind the Fabula Nova Crystallis Projects. Not long after, Yoshinori Kitase came on stage and spoke about that same mythology saying that 4 or 5 years prior to Final Fantasy XIII being made, this mythology was put in place and allows the creators of each game in the series to freely interpret and present the base mythology.
He then went on to formally announce Final Fantasy XIII-2 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game will be worked on for both consoles simultaneously and it will be released later this year. Motomu Toriyama will be directing once again.

Why are some people able to make positive change while others remain the same?
In his international bestseller, The Happiness Advantage, Harvard trained researcher Shawn Achor described why happiness is the precursor to greater success. This book is about what comes before both. Because before we can be happy or successful, we need to first develop the ability to see that positive change is possible. Only once we learn to see the world through a more positive lens can we summon all our motivation, emotion, and intelligence to achieve our personal and professional goals.
In Before Happiness, Achor reveals five actionable, proven strategies for changing our lens to positive:
· The Most Valuable Reality: See a broader range of ideas and solutions by changing the details on which your brain chooses to focus
· Success Mapping: Set goals oriented around the things in life that matter to you most, whether career advancement or family or making a difference in the world
· The X-spot: Use success accelerants to propel you more quickly towards those goals, whether finishing a marathon, reaching a sales target, learning a language, or losing 10 pounds
· Noise-Canceling: Boost the signal pointing you to opportunities and possibilities that others miss
· Positive Inception: Transfer these skills to your team, your employees, and everyone around you
By mastering these strategies, you'll create an renewable source of positivity, motivation, and engagement that will allow you to reach your fullest potential in everything you do.
From the Hardcover edition.

It was taken some time ago.
At first it seems to be
a smeared
print: blurred lines and grey flecks
blended with the paper;
then, as you scan
it, you see in the left-hand corner
a thing that is like a branch: part of a tree
and, to the right, halfway up
what ought to be a gentle
slope, a small frame house.
In the background there is a lake,
and beyond that, some low hills.
(The photograph was taken
the day after I drowned.
I am in the lake, in the center
of the picture, just under the surface.
It is difficult to say where
precisely, or to say
how large or small I am:
the effect of water
on light is a distortion
but if you look long enough,
you will be able to see me.)

Sail HO! Look out Bay Area - it's the GOOGLE GALLEON
The mysterious Google vessel floating in San Francisco Bay is to feature towering sails enabling it to cruise around exhibiting the wonders of technology to an astonished coast, it has been reported. According to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle, the barge will be an "unprecedented artistic structure" boasting about a …
By and Large
By and Large was probably chosen not because it rhymed with barge but more for the origin of the phrase, which is an old Royal Navy sailing term.
A vessel that could sail close to or "By" the wind, and that could also sail away from or "Large" to the wind, was a good all rounder. Referring to "By and Large" meant referring to most circumstances.
If they're putting sails on the barges, that would be my bet as to why it was chosen!
Re: By and Large
Or alternatively, By & Large was the name of the global mega corp in Wall-E.....
You decide which which is the most likely pun!
Re: By and Large
Not to mention Burn-E the short film related Wall-E and well worth watching.
By the way, I think it was "Buy" rather than "By" in the films.
Re: By and Large
Will Wykeham,
I thought the correct nautical term was Bring & Buy. And one flew a blue peter in order to signal ones willingness to engage in tat-based commerce.
This was often signalled by the well know phrase, "by the multi-coloured Swapshop of Noel Edmonds, that be a hideous jumper!"
[It's Friday, it's late. I may be becoming hysterical...]
Re: By and Large
@I ain't Spartacus: The original explanation was the correct one, as any reader of Patrick O'Brian can confirm. (Dr. Maturin gets hoist by his own petard when he - pitiful lubber that he is - tries to use the term to impress a colleague.)
@ Spartacus
I thought that the expression "to be well-known" was actually quite well-known.
At least:-
"Baal is a three-headed demon with a spider's body and tonnes of spider legs,"
- it's a European conspiracy...
Three barges?
BAL0010 and BAL0011? What about BAL0001? Does anyone know where that is?
Re: Three barges?
They're in the computer industry, so where's BAL0000 too.
Re: Three barges?
Maybe up the Potomac river, around Langley VA?
"Barge 500 yards of our Port bow sir!!"......
..."Load tubes 1 and 2 and prepare to fire!!!"..........I can but dream.....
3 barges or 3 arks???
> Google would back up the internet on the two barges, as well as an even creepier third one
Is the B "barge" where they are going to stick all the Facebook and Twitter stuff?
Delaware, delawhen...
"Corporation Service Company" is actually the name of an outfit based in Delaware. They act as an HQ address and mail forwarding service, among other things, for Delaware companies. A lot of US corporations tend to get created in Delaware, as that state has relatively relaxed and speedy company formation laws.
Re: Delaware, delawhen...
Every Delaware corporation must have a registered address in Delaware, which is where these agents and "Corporation Service" companies make their money.
It's the same as in the Bahamas, or Gibraltar, or the BVI, or the Caymans, or Monaco, or Nevada for that matter, which is why Delaware and Nevada are also considered 'tax havens' by the OECD.
Another "Eye of Sauron" transport mechanism?
They could get yet another view of the world from their barges and, obviously, do some extra erm... triangulation on all those (open, obviously) wifi hotspots that they will be able to "see" along their journeys around the bay and up river.
Re: Another "Eye of Sauron" transport mechanism?
Funny you should mention him. As BAL is also the first 3 letters of Balrog - which is what first sprung to my mind - rather than Baal.
On the other hand, it's also the first 3 letters of Balloon. Which is a far friendlier word. It's definitely better to think balloon than balrog. Life is less stressful that way. Right up to the point when a huge bloke with burning hair whips you, then sticks his sword through you.
East coast of the US
Hurricane season is about to start...hope they can reef those sails quickly., or they'll be in deep...water.
//arrrr...sextant in me pea coat...
Re: East coast of the US
What? It's November.
Cape Fear River
If you're ever in Wilmington, take a boat trip up the river - it is a bit spooky, increased salinity in the river has caused many of the trees along the banks to die, so there are all these bleached skeletal trees there… (lots of them have nesting Ospreys, very cool, but distracts from the spookiness).
Anyone else struggling to keep images of The Crimson Permanent Assurance out of their heads whilst reading about Google's new boat?
Silly people
Baal is a Goa'uld with the greatest bad-guy accent ever.
As I recall he did build a business empire on Earth once, or a clone of him did. What happens when you tell Google to Kree?
I would assume
They are preparing for Water World.
'...an array of sails "reminiscent of fish fins, which will remind visitors that they are on a seaworthy vessel". '
Fish swim under the suface of the water.
For small values of "seaworthy"
I like the fact that they will take down the sails when the wind blows. Very wise with an AVS probably not more than 30%...
(good call on By and Large, Capn' Wykeham)
Twitter has just floated, Google have floated too.
But which is the bigger floater?
BAL0010 and BAL0011?
That is obviously BAL 2 and BAL 3.
So where is the mothership....WHERE IS IT?!?!?!
Preparing for battle
They plan to engage with and destroy the Crimson Permanent Assurance. It's Eric Schmidt's plan for revenge dating back to when he was a Midshipman for Bell Labs.
"Wilmington", yes...
...but not the one in the Carolinas. Wilmington, Delaware (on a different river) is home to many corporations, because of Delaware's corporate governance laws. We used to be the "Chemical Capital of the World", too, back when that phrase didn't creep people out.
Snow Crash
