Oakland, CA-based artist and illustrator Justin DeVine must've been channelling the Black Lodge when he created his wonderfully weird series of watercolor illustrations combining Twin Peaks characters with The Muppets. It's an awesome pop culture mashup that works so well, we can't believe we'd never considered it before.
You can see the entire series right here on Tumblr at Jason Devine's sticksstonesandherringbones. Prints are also available via INPRNT.

The tangled web of PCI compliance
With PCI security standard becoming a requirement, retailers prepare for implementation
Fear and loathing will dominate when Best Practice 6.6 of the PCI Data Security Standard becomes a requirement June 30.
The regulation requires that merchants dealing with debit and credit cards tighten up their security by both conducting application code reviews and installing Web application firewalls.
It was put forth by the PCI Security Standards Council, which issues, maintains and enforces the PCI security standards that govern payment account data security to which all corporations that deal with payment cards must adhere.
However, while stating that "proper implementation of both options would provide the best multi-layered defense", the Council says, in essence, that some merchants won't be able to implement both. The solution: select the best option for their needs. This is leading to compliance problems.
"We're addressing the problem in two ways," said Bob Russo, general manager of the PCI Security Standards Council. "If you have custom application code, it needs to be reviewed for common vulnerabilities, either by yourself or by a company that does application code reviews by a standard like OWASP. The Open Web Application Security Project, OWASP, is a worldwide free and open community focused on improving the security of application software whose materials are available under an open source license.
For off-the-shelf software, "installing an application layer firewall in front of a Web facing app will work as well," Russo explained. "You need security in the application itself if you can do it but that's not necessarily the way you need to look at this; either way will suffice."
In essence, it's going to have to be a business decision. And which option merchants choose depends on how much money they have.
"Bigger merchants have more budget and can afford to do both; but when you get into Level 4 merchants, which Visa describes as "any merchant processing fewer than 20,000 Visa e-commerce transactions per year," margins tend to be thin. (By contrast, Level-1 merchants have more than 6 million transactions a year.) Level 4 merchants "don't have lots of staff," said Ryan Barnett, director of application security at Breach Security and an instructor at the training-focused SANS Institute. "They're forced to choose between the two options."
Money Talks with PCI Compliance
Experts see cost driving merchants to the Web firewall option.
"If someone was to buy one of our moderate-sized Web applications it would cost them $7,500," said Jim Libersky, vice president of sales and marketing at The Barrier Group. The firm offers an Intelligent Threat Management appliance that includes a Web application firewall, anti-spam, anti-virus, Web content filtering and more than 20 other technologies. "How many lines of code would it take to chew up that amount of money?"
Most companies would select the Web firewall application "because it's cheaper and faster than code review, and they ignore the fact that it doesn't protect them against the majority of security vulnerabilities, especially the most dangerous ones, which are in the application layer," said Ed Adams, president and CEO of Security Innovation, which conducts code reviews for clients.
The result: "I guarantee you'll see more TJX's, and that will continue until CIOs get it," Adams said. The TJX refers to the department store chain that lost hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees, a reimbursement and other payments after hackers stole about 47.5 million records over a period of 18 months between 2005 and 2006.
Code Review vs. Firewalls
You can't really compare the protection offered by a Web application firewall to that from having a code review; each has its merits.
"Web application firewalls don't protect you against what happened to TJX," growled Adams. "People forget that PCI compliance doesn't equate to security, and 99 percent of organizations will only do the bare minimum that's required to pass the audit because that's all they're held accountable to."

My kids are in art camp this week and are learning all kind of fun and messy ways to make art. The concept of taking a mistake and turning it into something beautiful must be making sense to them. Jake told me yesterday that I can't make him redo any of his work anymore because there aren't any mistakes in art. Not sure this applies to math homework, but whatever.
Creating art and just being creative is a great break from the average day. When you look at mistakes as opportunities for creativity, you find freedom in just being where you are. Sometimes that's broken and beautiful. Weak but made strong. Fallen, humbled but comforted.
Here a few pieces I painted in an art class at A Place to Land studio. Thanks Andrea for the inspiration! You can find the print in for purchase in my shop, here.

My parents are moving out of my childhood home. As a result, I'm getting those last few things that I never took with me. It's interesting looking at all my old artwork, some of which is very juvenile. I do like remembering how well I could draw when I practiced daily. Here are a few of my first layouts. I think they were for illustration class and graphic design I.

Frozen Inspired Birthday

Monday, January 6, 2014
As I'm traveling around the web this morning, I see lots of posts about making goals and keeping them this year. The kids go back to school today, so this week will be my planning and goal-setting week, as well.
I have lots of short term and long term goals floating around in my head. Some I'm sure I will accomplish, others will fade away as the year grows into what it will be.
What is important for this year? Where do I want to be this time next year? What are next steps to getting to this place?
Well, achieving my goals won't mean a thing if I haven't built worth in my relationships and grown spiritually. So this morning, I'll think of my goals in context of the bigger picture.
Lara Casey has some great printables and worksheets to really get you thinking. This inspired me today.

Julian Draxler: From golden boy to Mr. Schalke
On the cusp of a bright summer's day a Bundesliga showdown was in the midst of its battle. In the small, southern town of Freiburg, just west of the famous black forests in the south-west corner of Germany, SC Freiburg were hosting Schalke 04 in a fiercely climactic Champions League play-off on the final day of the League calendar. And they were winning.
Not with goals or points, but in terms of passion and the sheer amount of chances created. Within the first fifteen minutes alone, the home side had created two goal scoring opportunities to no lasting effect, yet continued to attack in waves that Schalke simply couldn't apprehend. Freiburg wanted this Champions League spot much more than their Gelsenkirchen visitors.
Then it all changed – as it always does in our beautiful game - in one moment of brilliance. The game was on its head.
Jefferson Farfan, the Schalke right winger, had cut inside and found a low pass to the feet of the Royal Blues' towering striker, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who had turned on the spot and looked left for the solution – as he has done so often this season – with a squared ball to Schalke's young left winger, Julian Draxler. With a single shimmy the starlet was inside Mensur Mujdza, the Freiburg fullback, and curling a low shot around Oliver Baumann in goals.
In three simple passes Schalke had aligned their fate for the following season and as so often the case these days Julian Draxler was directly responsible for all of it.
The local lad turned national superstar has had quite a season. Although already established in the first team last year, it wasn't until the burden of Lewis Holbty was lifted in January, with the transfer to Tottenham, for the youngster's projected greatness to truly blossom.
Seven of his ten goals this season came after the January transfer window, once he was allowed to move in to his newly appointed number ten position. Since then Schalke have moved up from as low as ninth position, to the coveted fourth place finish that has ensured them of prime European game for the following season.
In that time, Julian Draxler has become Mr Schalke. With a new contract that was announced to the world with a fleet of trucks, plastered with his face, touring the local towns and villages – as well as neighbouring Dortmund just weeks after Mario Gotze's move to Bayern was revealed – the player has very much became the embodiment for hope at this club.
Unlike Lewis Holbty or Manuel Neuer before him, Draxler is perfectly comfortable announcing his loyalty for his club. If not discussing his regular phone calls with ex-legend and potential assistant manager Raul, he's down-playing talks of joining local black and yellow rivals as a situation he could only go through with if 'brainwashed'.
Under the tall shadow cast by Dortmund that Schalke currently dwell, Draxler has offered a rare light of encouragement and optimism not only through his sheer ability, but the likeness he bares to the fans in the stand. No fan cheers at each goal, or celebrates every win as much as he, and in their eyes that makes him immortal.
This summer the youngster will travel with the German national team to the United States on a tour designed to distinguish the best from a squad specifically picked with emerging Bundesliga talent on the verge of international prominence.
Whilst there he'll stay in lavish hotels, enjoy beautiful locations and play in front of full-house crowds, all desperate for his signature, before returning to pre-season in Germany where the Champions League – football's largest tournament – await him and his beloved Schalke. This is the life the nineteen year old protégée now lives. That of a local hero, on the verge of stardom.

3 killed in church camp bus crash in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS — A bus carrying teenagers returning to Indiana from a church camp in Michigan crashed Saturday afternoon just minutes from home, killing three people and sending 26 others to hospitals, officials said.
The bus came speeding off of Interstate 465 in northern Indianapolis, about a mile from the Colonial Hills Baptist Church that passengers attended, struck a retaining wall as it rounded a curve and overturned. The campers were returning from Camp CoBeAc in northern Michigan, about six hours away.
The church's youth pastor had sent a tweet a couple of hours before the crash saying the group was expected to arrive at the church about 4:15 p.m., around the time the accident happened.
"They were not that far from home. That only adds to the tragedy," said Indianapolis Public Safety Director Troy Riggs.
The dead included a man and his wife, Riggs said. Authorities did not provide information about the third victim.
Riggs and Mayor Greg Ballard visited the crash scene, where clothing, pillows and seat cushions from the bus were scattered along with at least two shattered windows, before they headed to the church. Riggs said there was no indication that the driver had a medical emergency and called the accident "a great tragedy."
Ballard said investigators were taking measurements and examining the bus to determine the cause of the crash.
WTHR-TV reported the bus driver told witnesses his brakes failed. Indianapolis Fire Department Lt. Ato McTush said police and fire officials had not determined whether the church-owned bus, which was carrying 37 passengers plus the driver, had mechanical issues.
Duane Lloyd told WTHR that he heard a loud noise behind him as he was traveling near the intersection and saw the crash around 4:15 p.m.
"I heard a skid. I looked back. I see this bus in the air and people falling out of the bus," Lloyd said. "I could have gone my whole life without seeing that."
Karen Woodard, a member of Colonial Hills Baptist Church, cried as she stared at the wrecked bus.
"It's so terrible. I can't believe it," she said.
Indianapolis Fire Department said crews had to free five people who were trapped inside after the crash. Several people stopped to help before first responders could arrive, including one man who helped pull the driver out of the bus, the department said.
"People were stopping their cars. People were literally trying to lift the bus," Lloyd said. "You just try to do what you can do."
Fire officials said the injured included children and adults.
Nine teenagers were taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital, including one in critical condition. Three of those were treated and released, hospital spokeswoman Sally Winter said. She said 10 others, including nine teenagers and a toddler, were taken to Riley Hospital for Children. Seven of those teenagers were treated and released, Winter said.
Many of the patients were suffering head, arm and leg injuries, fire officials said.
Roads near the scene were closed, and authorities urged people to use caution in the area. A hazardous materials crew was cleaning up diesel fuel that spilled in the crash.
Outside the church, a yellow school bus with the church school's name was parked outside with piles of sleeping bags and suitcases nearby. Families hugged outside and talked quietly before going inside, where they met with Ballard and Riggs Saturday evening.
Ballard described the families as "remarkably positive" despite their sorrow.
"Some of the teenagers are hurting pretty bad and you can see that in their faces," he said.
Church member Jeff Leffew, 44, of Fishers, who had three daughters on the bus that crashed and a fourth on a second bus, said he was waiting to pick them up in the church parking lot when the second bus arrived. He said he knew immediately that something was wrong because the kids on the bus were screaming.
He went to the crash scene and found his three daughters with only bumps and bruises.
He called the crash scene "surreal."
"You're just praying that it's not as bad as it looks," he said.

Dictatorship Apologists, 50 Years On
Yesterday, Brazil's Congress marked the 50th anniversary of the military coup that overthrew constitutional president João Goulart and ushered in a 21-year military dictatorship that killed hundreds of its own citizens and tortured thousands others. In 1964, Congress was directly implicit in the coup and the subsequent military dictatorship: Congress proclaimed the presidency vacant even while Goulart remained in Brazil and declared Chamber of Deputies leader Ranieri Mazzilli as the acting President of Brazil for the second time in his life (he'd also assumed the role in the wake of Jânio Quadros's abrupt resignation in 1961). Mazzilli was president in name only, as a military junta, led by Artur Costa e Silva, established control before Congress selected Humberto Castelo Branco as the country's new president. By contrast, yesterday's commemoration was to be a more solemn affair, recognizing the setbacks that human rights and democracy both suffered under Brazil's military regime.
Of course, that did not mean all were willing to cooperate with such a dignified approach. Ultra-right wing congressman Jair Bolsonaro, a dictatorship apologist, decided to use the event to celebrate the military in his speech, with various other representatives turning their backs on him. Meanwhile, his supporters unfurled a banner thanking the military, through whose efforts "Brazil is not Cuba," according to Bolsonaro, while another Bolsonaro supporter shouted to others, "I do not want communism in my Country." Ultimately, the ceremony ended up being delayed for over an hour. Yet the event reminds us of the degree to which Brazil's dictatorship continues to appear in politics even while torturers are publicly named but remain unpunished, something that seems unlikely to change anytime soon, given the reluctance of President Rousseff (herself a political prisoner and torture victim during the dictatorship) to review the 1979 amnesty that pardoned all those in the military regime who committed torture and murder.
Around Latin America
-Peru has launched its biggest exhumation ever, as it tries to find victims from the violence between the Shining Path and the Peruvian state between 1980 and 2000.
-Peru is not the only country exhuming victims of violence. In an attempt to find two missing police officers, forensic scientists in Mexico got more than they expected when their search led to the discovery of 64 bodies buried in mass graves in Jalisco and Michoacán, with the bodies showing signs of torture and indicating they are the victims of ongoing violence between cartels. In spite of the discovery, the two police officers remain missing.
-In the wake of a close election and allegations of electoral fraud, Honduras will hold a recount after thousands took to the streets in support of Xiomara Castro, who allegedly lost the election to conservative candidate Juan Orlando Hernandez (who got 37% of the total vote) and whose husband, former president Manuel Zelaya, was removed from office in a coup d'etat in 2009. The recount comes amidst outsiders' observations allegations of chicanery and after Honduras's electoral council was very slow to issue the data from the November 24 election, adding to suspicions of fraud.
-Rio de Janeiro governor Sérgio Cabral announced that he will leave office 9 months early after seeing his popularity plummet in the midst and wake of protests last June, when millions of Brazilians took to the streets to protest a number of causes, including political elites' disconnect and corruption. Cabral himself became a particular target of that anger in Rio de Janeiro.
-The bad news for governors is not limited to Brazil. In Mexico, former governor of Tamaulipas Tomás Yarrington faces charges in the US of having ties to the drug cartels while he was in office during his 1999-2004 governorship.
-Costa Rica closed a probe into the 1984 bombing that killed 7 journalists and Nicaraguan Contras and wounded 20 more people, after forensics revealed that the attacker died in the late-1980s.
-Mexico's Senate has approved electoral reform that would allow reelection and would strengthen Congressional power in the face of executive power even while approving President Enrique Peña's efforts to increasingly privatize the state-run PEMEX oil company in Mexico.
-Francisco Flores, the former president of El Salvador for the conservative ARENA party, is under investigation for the misuse of upwards of $10 million that Taiwan donated to El Salvador during his presidency, money that apparently never made it to its intended institutional destinations.
-Finally, in Brazil, Guaraní indigenous leader Ambrosio Vilhava, whose struggle to help protect Guaraní land was documented in the 2008 film Birdwatchers, was found stabbed to death after his father-in-law allegedly killed him. While the circumstances around his death remain unclear, the fact remains that his death marks the loss of an important activist and leader in Brazilian indigenous mobilization.
Today in Dubious Interpretations of History
Former President of Mexico Vicente Fox (2000-2006) has said he is the best president of Mexico. Ever. As in, in all of Mexican history.
Suffice to say, this is a rather self-serving interpretation of history, and one that grossly diminishes the achievements of some of Mexico's past presidents while inflating Fox's own achievements. Not to dive into all of Mexican history, but if nothing else, Benito Juárez's own accomplishments in state-building alone are incredible, as he in many ways finally built a strong, stable state apparatus after dealing with the impact of over 30 years of domestic political and military turmoil (including the US's seizure of well over 1/3 of Mexico in 1848) and economic instability, an occupation by French forces, and constant conflicts both with local oligarchical elites and the Church. Then there is Álvaro Obregón, whose presidency (1920-1924) helped Mexico take the steps to recover from a ten-year revolution that had left well over one million people dead, again providing strong leadership and policy-making in a period and context that saw far greater challenges and uncertainties than anything Fox confronted. And Lázaro Cárdenas' (1934-1940) status as a reformer who tried to address the social inequalities that had their roots in hierarchical power structures that dated back to the 1800s (and earlier), while perhaps incomplete, still helped improve the lives of millions of Mexicans, leading many to see him as the country's last "great" president. And that's just three presidents whose accomplishments at their best far outweigh what modest accomplishments and even failures Fox managed (pledging 7% annual growth for Mexico but only managing to achieve 1% growth; economic policies that led to more unequally distributed wealth in Mexico). Fox pales in comparison to previous presidents even in the limited areas where we can concretely evaluate what his administration actually accomplished.
Which leads to a second problem – that of temporal perspective. Though he's been out of office seven years, many of the social, economic, political, and cultural processes that began or transformed under his PAN government have yet to play out in a way where we can fully understand his legacy, whereas the legacies of Juárez, Obregón, Cárdenas, and other past presidents (both good and bad) are clearer. Indeed, while we can perhaps say that Fox wasn't as personally corrupt or repressive as some of the PRI presidents of the latter part of the 20th century (though new documents and information can always change the historical record on Fox's own qualities), it's simply far too soon to be able to fully and definitively evaluate his overall successes.
For both of these differing reasons, Fox's statements really are absurd. Even if we take what he did accomplish and toss out his shortcomings, his positive impact on Mexican society, state-building, diplomacy, economics, and culture pale to the records of some of his predecessors, even with their own warts (after all, though it shouldn't be necessary, it helps to remind ourselves that nobody's perfect – not even presidents). Indeed, given his attempt to make such claims and shape the narrative positively so early on, it seems Fox either is really out of touch with the historical record, or so self-absorbed and arrogant as to see himself as Mexico's greatest political hero. Either way, making such comments strongly undermines the actual argument of those comments themselves.
On Chilean Presidential Politics and Ongoing Ties to the Pinochet Era
As Brandi mentioned yesterday, the dust has settled in the Chilean presidential primaries. On the one hand, the Concertación elected Socialist Party candidate and former president (2006-2010) Michelle Bachelet to run for re-election for the coalition. On the other hand, the right-wing Alianza coalition selected the Independent Democratic Union's (UDI) Pablo Longueira to represent it in the election. In addition to Longueira, Bachelet will face challenges from two candiates to the left, Marcel Claude and Miguel Enríquez-Ominami. With well over two years of student protests that call for educational reform and that enjoy a substantial amount of support among many Chileans, a right-wing coalition confronting the need to overcome unpopularity of current president Sebastián Piñera, and two challenges from the left to an ex-president who left office with very high approval ratings, the elections set for November will be interesting for any number of reasons.
What is perhaps most interesting, though, is the way ties to the Pinochet era continue to shape presidential electoral politics. When Piñera was elected in 2010, some saw it as the right finally breaking with the right-wing Pinochet dictatorship. Indeed, some analysts suggested Frei's loss was in part because the center-left Concertación coalition that had governed since Pinochet's exit in 1990 continued to campaign against the Pinochet era, while Piñera insisted on looking forward – a politically tactful move, given the right's long-standing ties to the regime. It seemed at the time that Piñera's victory was going to finally force the Concertación to broaden its appeal beyond anti-Pinochet rhetoric (though such rhetoric was understandably and justifiably not going to completely disappear).
And yet, here we are in 2013, with two major candidates still tied directly to the Pinochet dictatorship: on the one hand, the Concertación re-nominates Michelle Bachelet, who as a youth resisted the military regime and whose father the Pinochet dictatorship murdered. Meanwhile, the Alianza, left in the lurch after heavy favorite Laurence Golborne had to remove himself from the race, nominates Longueira, who worked as an assessor in the Pinochet government and who, according to Pinochet's daughter Lucía Pinochet Hiriart, received support from Pinochet when Longueira first began his political career. And so, in spite of some analysts' conclusions about the significance of the 2010 election in marking a new phase of post-Pinochet politics, both major candidates have direct, albeit very different, ties to the regime.
Nor is it just the personal connections that demonstrate how Pinochet-era politics continue to resonate nearly a quarter-century after he left office. While educational reforms will be a major topic for presidents to contend with as students continue to take to the streets, reforming the educational system is just part of the broader institutional challenge. Educational reforms have been slow in coming in no small part because the Constitution of 1980 that Pinochet issued is designed in such a way as to make reform very difficult, allowing governmental inertia to dominate (as well as including a Pinochet-era anti-terrorist law that the Chilean government has used against indigenous groups, both under Piñera and, before him, under Bachelet.) The ongoing rule of a dictatorial constitution has increasingly become a sticking point, and figures to be a key issue in the campaign: Bachelet herself has said that Chile needs a new Constitution. Though it has been 23 years since the Concertación first won election as Pinochet was forced to leave office, and though this September will mark 40 years since the coup that overthrew democratically-elected socialist Salvador Allende and ushered in Pinochet's 17-year dictatorship, and even nearly 7 years since Pinochet died, the influence, legacies, and outcomes of his regime on both the left and the right continue to shape politics well after he has left the political stage.
No doubt, there will come a time where the regime, although important to history and national memory, will not be so present in national presidential campaigns in such a direct and obvious way, be it through the candidates' own backgrounds or through the reforms and visions they have for Chile. But what is clear is that, in spite of those who thought 2010 might force a re-calibration of politics that tried to appeal to a generation that did not live under Pinochet's repression, the dictatorship still casts a long shadow over Chilean politics. There will be a time where that is the case, but in both the major coalition candidates and the issue of constitutional reform, it is clear that 2013 is not yet that time.
Beyond Brazil – Protests and Demonstrations Throughout Latin America
While ongoing protests in Brazil have (understandably) occupied a growing amount of space in recent days, Brazilians are not the only ones making their voices heard.
In Chile, as the fight for educational reform approaches its third year, over 100,000 people took to the streets, continuing to demand educational reform. And while the linked article focuses on the tiny number of vandals in the article, what is worth taking away is that around 100,000 people gathered peacefully, continuing to insist that education in Chile (like in Brazil) receive better investment and infrastructure.
Meanwhile, in Costa Rica, Ticos throughout the country have taken to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the government over a variety of issues, ranging from the temporary cancellation of an agreement with China to develop an oil refinery, to a recent presidential scandal regarding Laura Chinchilla's traveling on a private jet apparently owned by a drug lord (to say nothing of the organ-trafficking ring recently uncovered and mentioned in the first link).
And in Paraguay, following up on a protest of 3,000 late last week, citizens took to the streets throughout the country last night, drawing inspiration from the demonstrations in neighboring Brazil to demand better infrastructure and public services and an end to corruption.
To be clear, these demonstrations are not mere imitations of what is going on in Brazil – the Costa Rican protests are born of the individual issues facing the Costa Rican nation, and the struggle for educational reform in Chile goes back to 2011. And even the Paraguayan protests, which demonstrators admit have been inspired in part by Brazil's demonstrations, are based on their own internal issues and struggles particular to lived experiences in Paraguay. Nonetheless, when considered alongside Brazil, it is clear not only that people throughout the region believe demonstrations to be an appropriate and effective means of shaping politics and politicians, but that these democracies are open enough that large groups can gather to make their voices heard. Even when there is police violence (and there still is), it is not repressive enough to stifle public dissent altogether, and that is a not-insignificant thing in countries like Brazil, Paraguay, and Chile that have seen far more repressive crackdowns on smaller rallies under dictatorships in the last 50 years.
As for Brazil, the demonstrations that are now entering their third week continue to affect politics and local economies. Yesterday, the Senate passed a bill that made corruption a "serious" crime – effectively elevating it from a misdimeanor to a felony – increasing the penalties for political corruption. At the same time, the Supreme Court issued an arrest warrant for former Federal Deputy Natan Donadon, who in 2010 was convicted of embezzlement. By upholding the conviction, the Court made Donadon the first politician to be actually sentenced to prison for corruption since Brazil's constitution went into effect in 1988.

Early-Onset Schizophrenia1Remschmidt H. · Theisen F.
aDepartment of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Philipps University, Marburg, and bDepartment of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Herz-Jesu-Krankenhaus, Fulda, Germany
The available study findings on the course and outcome of schizophrenia beginning in childhood or adolescence can be summarized as follows. (1) Schizophrenic psychoses that arise before the age of 13 have a very poor prognosis. The disease usually continues to progress in adolescence and adulthood. It can be diagnosed with the same criteria that are used for adults. (2) Patients whose disease is of acute onset, with productive schizophrenic manifestations such as hallucinations and delusions (positive manifestations), have a better prognosis than those whose disease begins insidiously and takes an unfavorable course, with depressive states and continually worsening impairment of cognitive function. (3) The patient's premorbid personality plays a major role. Patients who were described as socially active, intelligent, and integrated children and adolescents before they became ill have a better prognosis than those who were intellectually impaired, timid, introverted and uncommunicative before they became ill. (4) The prognosis seems to be better for patients who have no family history of schizophrenia, those whose families cooperate well, and those whose condition improves rapidly during inpatient treatment. (5) The few available studies on the course and outcome of schizophrenia beginning in childhood and early adolescence confirm that they are much worse than in adult-onset schizophrenia. (6) A 42-year longitudinal study of patients with childhood-onset schizophrenia revealed their suicide rate to be higher than that of patients with adult-onset schizophrenia. No further longitudinal studies are available to confirm this finding.

Owl City mastermind Adam Young has been termed a "laptop artist," a critical backhand for people with the audacity to make albums without guitar solos. And while Young's songs may stem from the sterility of some digital recording software, he's been able to craft intricate gossamer worlds out of zeroes and ones. Throughout Owl City's breakthrough, Ocean Eyes, the click-clack of drum machines propels sampled strings and sprinkles of eight-bit bleeps. On the No. 1 hit "Fireflies," Young ties these synchronized parts together with his airy voice, which has the charm and tenacity of a rose petal. Lights, the project of Canadian keytar enthusiast Valerie Poxleitner, opens the show with a set of similarly arpeggiated synthpop.

I don't think it was the arguments themselves that left me angry, the usual 'donning of a white sheet and hiding in an alley' Project Fear gibberish, but that it was coming from a relatively young individual. This goes hand-in-hand with the Better Together cinema campaign I was discussing the other day, where young people are apparently looking at the referendum debate and saying to themselves : 'Yes, those Westminster MP's know best. Let's allow them to continue to make our decisions.' Continue reading

The Great Separatist Bin Rake
Here follows a snippet of The Great Separatist Bin Rake .
The street was dark tonight. The lamplights which normally offered a sanctuary from the blackness hadn't turned on this evening. I, Blair 'The Nappie Filler' McDougall, was beginning to think that this was no mistake by the council ( they were all close friends of ours). This was deliberate. Those pesky cybernat separatist bastards were coming tonight, I was sure of it. They'd been caught just the other day trying to rake through the treasure trove of information in our BIN storage units – Brilliantly Insightful Nostalgia. Our brave team of UKOK supporters, three of us now including Ian 'I fucking hate stickers' Murray, came rushing out of our secret underground bunker to do battle with these vile separatists. There were only a few of them, cowardly scum that they are, and so we managed to scare them off with righteous insults about their parentage and a few expertly thrown nappies (which we had enthusiastically filled earlier). We had beaten them off but we knew they would come back.
In the darkness we waited, mentally preparing ourselves for the engagement that we knew would be upon us. Our nappies had been cleaned and thoroughly restocked after our expensive lunch; the other Ian was paying. Our UKOK Defence and Ultimate Fighting Force – UKOK DUFF – had grown since the last cybernat infiltration. Three new volunteers, who were in no way here just because of they were being paid, were joined by Ian Murray, myself, Joann 'Spellchecker of the Year' Lamont and Anas 'Debater' Sarwar. We circled our BINS around the entrance to our secret underground bunker – the House of UKOK – and waited in the gloom, restocking our nappies as the night wore on. Anas Sarwar, our expert strategist, came up with the idea of placing some of our nappies in the BIN so as to throw these cybernats off of the scent. We agreed as our stock levels were pretty high.
We, the brave UKOK DUFF, hunched proudly in the darkness behind our BINS. The smell of positivity and courage surrounding us. Let those vile militant cybernats come. When battle commenced they would be no match for the glorious contents of our righteous Nappies.
Scotland After NO: You were warned
I was out of bed at the crack of dawn this morning. If I'm late even once the benefits get cut. I work 40 hours a week for nothing. I'm in workfare and so is every member of my family.
If you were to put those sentences in front of me a few years ago I would have dismissed it as the ravings of those stupid and abusive 'cybernats'. A whole family on workfare? I would have said it was simply nonsense from YES voters. I would have told you that they were misunderstanding the benefit changes and that the Tories were only really trying to stop those who were cheating the system. It was all for the greater good. The 'welfare reforms' were there to stop the scroungers who just wanted to sponge off the state; lazy, work-shy scum. These are things I would have said, the things I did say at the time. These are not the words that I say now. Continue reading
The Indypocalypse: 2025 – Part 5 – We're Better in the belly of the Beast
Year: 2025
Location: Abandoned Region 3211-S ( Formerly 'Scotland')
The elevator finally stopped moving. The sound of the mechanisms fading for a few moments in the claustrophobic darkness. How far down had we come? What would we find when that door opened?
Just when I began to think whatever engines had brought us here had finally given up the ghost, the panel in front of us began to rise outward. A yellow glow emanated from the increasing gap between the floor and rising panel. Light crept in steadily until the scene of a basement storage room unfolded before us. JoLa, standing closest to the doorway and still clutching her staff, beckoned my team and I forward into this remarkably unremarkable hideout. We moved into the centre of the room, the elevator's operator joining us after closing the panel. I surveyed the surroundings; an ornate chandelier light up a room full of cardboard boxes filled with leaflets, piles of clothes, various bric-a-brac and two well-used couches. There were grey, metal doors at either end which no doubt lead to rooms of a similar level of awe. Across the walls slogans were written in blue paint – 'In McDougall we trust!' and 'Resistance: Stay Positive!' – which were accompanied by posters of a male Broadway actor in tartan trousers and Kermit the frog.
'Welcome to the Resistance Headquarters!', JoLa announced as she waved at us to take seats on the couches. 'We're well protected from those Nats down here! Plenty of room! This is just the entrance to the entire complex. A bit shabby but Taylor's money was running low after we'd installed the pool room, bowling alley, cinema, jacuzzi and everything else in the bunker under the E.I.C.C.' She shimmied over with her staff and pulled over a wooden chair from the back wall. She sat down with the groan of the elderly. The elevator operator had now drawn his hood back, revealing a elderly skinny man with short, snow-white hair and round spectacles. The wild black eyebrows were even more prominent contrasted against his hair. He had turned to regard one of the posters – the word 'Barrowman' could now be made out at the bottom – and stared at it, unmoving.
'We need answers JoLa,' I asked, turning my attention back to the small, angry woman. ' What exactly is this place? Who is 'The Resistance' and who are you two? My team and I have been dropped into a nightmare worse than anything we thought possible! We need to get out of this place and report back to Lord Robertson!'
'Lord Robertson, eh?'. She smiled. A crooked smile that didn't quite sit right on her face. I felt even more uneasy. 'We work for Lord Robertson too you know!', she continued. 'Should've known he'd be the one behind your incursion. He's a good man is oor Lord Robertson.'
'The best!', cried the elevator operator with crazy eyebrows. He was still in the exact same spot he had been when staring at the posters but had turned one hundred and eighty degrees to face all of them. He stood perfectly still…blinking rapidly.
'This is Darling', said JoLa, brandishing her staff in his direction. 'He is our most trusted servant. A true representative of Better Together and The Resistance. An' I can tell you folks we need aw the help we can get these days.' She settled back into her chair, her face taking on a melancholy look.
'Tell them Johann,' Darling said, still blinking.'They need to hear everything.'
'Awright Darling,' she replied, ushering us all to skooch up a bit as if she was a village elder about to entertain the children by the fireside. 'It began with Lord Robertson. He's such a gifted wee man. He saw aw this trouble before it started, ye know. Many years ago he prophesied the rise of the Forces of Darkness in this land. He knew that if the citizens of what once was 'Scotland' voted YES to separation it would cover all the lands in a second darkness.' She stopped to cough and spit at the side of the chair.
In the background Darling's face had began to twitch. It was a worrying sight combined with his excessive blinking. A few coughed words later – 'Salmond!' and 'Nationalists!' – and he seemed to calm down. JoLa continued.
'Lord Robertson knew naebody would take his warnings seriously so , when the separatists put forth their wee pretendy referendum, he called the most powerful agents in the land to form the first line of defence against the Forces of Darkness: Better Together. We were a hearty band of proud Scots who tried with reasoned argument, honest debate and an endless supply of positivity, to stop the separatist vote from increasing. We kent Salmond was in league with the Dark Forces and was using the YES vote for his personal gain but naebody wanted to listen. In the end we failed.' JoLa drew out a dirty handkerchief from her cloak and began dabbing at her eyes. 'Oh help me boab but we gave it the best we could!'
'Separatists!', cried Darling, physically shuddering as he did so. The next moment he was as still as a statue, except for his eyes, which were blinking, rapidly.
'We were too late to make it oot when the cataclysm happened,' continued JoLa. 'The lowest YES voters turned almost instantly into the vile zombie creatures ye encountered. Factions emerged from the higher echelons of the YES movement, Some joined with the creatures of the night, others carving out their own territories to rule over with their fearmongering. That cyber-bastard returned calling himself the 'Reverend King' and laid claim to Bathgate, with his 'Winged Legions'. Macintyre-Kemp and Mckee hold the gateway to the highlands taxing onybody stupid enough to wander into their realm.'
'What happened to those that didn't vote YES?' I asked, intrigued to find out if there was a substantial force which might be able to aid us in our journey home.
'There were loadsy us! The YES vote won by a baw-hair! We're still convinced it was rigged cause naebody in Scotland liked Salmond onyway. When the evil rose out the earth and descended fae the sky, our brave Better Together campaigners were hunted doun like dugs. We banded together though and managed to form a resistance! Some tried to make it oot but ye'll know yersel how perilous the borders are now.'
'We are everywhere. We are legion. Better Together reps round every corner. You'll never see them but they're there. Watching.' It was Darling again, staring off into space, still blinking.
'He does that sometimes,' explained JoLa. 'Find it best to ignore him till it passes. Got knocked on the head a bit before the referendum. Was never quite the same. Still a brilliant guy but.'
As Darling continued to mumble – 'Cybernats!', 'Sssalmond!' – I took stock of our situation. Three special operative agents – christ had I even asked their names before I began this mission? FAFD Agents 27 and 45 were all I knew – a hobbling angry, old woman and a strangely mystic old man with extraordinary eyebrows and an increasingly worrying case of nationalist tourette's. We needed more firepower if we stood any chance of even attempting to get out of this place and report back to Lord Robertson and H.M.F.A.F.D.
As silence descended on the room, Darling having taken to admiring the Barrowman poster again, there came a crackling sound like that of a signal being received on a walkie-talkie. JoLa burst from her chair and made her way to a desk at the left side of the room. As she unlocked a drawer, a voice could be heard:
'Come in! Come in HQ! This is Ruth! Code red! Code Red! I repeat Code – '
The signal stopped. JoLa's left hand, which was now holding the walkie-talkie, began to shake furiously. Darling, now turned back to face the group, had began a strange keening sound. 'Eeeeeeeeee.'
'JoLa,' I began as I made my way over to the angry-teacher, 'what's a 'Code Red'?'
She said nothing for a few tense moments. Then she turned, utter terror in her eyes and muttered five barely audible, words.
'The National Collective are coming!'
Rectifying the Anomaly
Year: 2025.
Location: Northern Britain ( formerly 'Scotland')
It has been over a decade since the citizens of Northern Britain sensibly rejected separatism in the referendum of 2014. Ever since then, across every acre of these islands, the Union of Britain has been unified as never before. A selection of cabinet ministers, including myself, felt that it was time to venture north once more and see first-hand the improvements that have been taking place.
One of the first things that my colleagues and I noticed after touching down on our private landing-strip at 'The Airport of the Rt. Hon. Thatcher' ( previously Glasgow Airport), was the much improved atmosphere of the city compared to the last time we had visited, some months before the referendum. Gone were the tatty and parochial saltire flags ( previously the 'national' flag of 'Scotland), in their place were thousands of heart-warming Union Jacks lining every building, lamp-post and railing. A government decree passed not long after the No vote banning the parochial flags and making it a criminal offence for a household to not have at least one visible Union Jack on the outside of their residence. It was a sight to behold – even from the tinted-windows of our limousine – as we made our way into the heart of the glorious city of Glasgow.
The Hibernation Ends.
Something stirs awake in this dark cave. Eyelids slowly open, closed for so long I forgot how to see. Dark dreams I've had of late. Dreams where I cowered in the corner, small and insignificant as those bigger and more important than I kept watch. The few scraps I was thrown were barely enough to keep me moving and with each passing day I felt myself fading. I grew weak in these dreams. I felt no strength inside me, no spirit to keep me standing tall. I cowered in the corner and was grateful for those scraps. I was small and weak in those dreams. I knew my place and it was of servitude.
Those dreams are over now. With every stretch and sigh I feel the strength in these bones of mine. I am not that cowering creature with the broken spirit. I was proud once, before this deep slumber. I remember now. I was confident and sure-footed. The steps I took were of honour, integrity and majesty. I stumbled here and there but always I found my way back to the right path.
The light outside is rising now. The dark cave that has been my home for so long is no longer fit for purpose. I have been asleep too long. I shake off those dreams and with them the doubts that clung to them. I am sure of myself again. I am able.
The sun has risen. My slumber is over. The world awaits me and I shall meet it head on.
My hibernation is over.

Aaliyah Love is hottie with an infectious smile, a ravenous sex drive and a bubbly personality to match her bubble butt. Okay, now that we've got that out of the way, let's dive straight into the steamy action and intense masturbation that awaits you on Aaliyah Love Mobile!
Aaliyah has some Lithuanian, French and even a little Irish in her blood, but I wonder which heritage is responsible for her irresistible booty. Combine her rump with thick thighs, a pretty face and perky tits and you've got a hottie who's very easy on the eyes.
There are 238 movies in this collection and they all look excellent when you stream them as MP4 files on your mobile device. I didn't find any photo galleries, which was disappointing since she really is a pretty gal and a close-up of her interaction with hard cocks, wet pussies and toys would've been great.
She's quite the little sexual spark plug. Whether she's posing in sexy pink lingerie on her couch and playing with her clean-shaven pussy or getting fucked by one of her gal pals with a strapon, the sexual energy is always high. Sure she licks pussy like a pro and moans loudly when she slides a dildo in and out of her vagina. But that juicy ass of hers is her biggest asset and it's the centerpiece of each scene. I loved that shewas very in-tune with her audience and spoke to the camera a lot.
The design on AaliyahLoveMobile is rather plain. I didn't find a search engine, a place to save my favorites or anywhere to leave ratings or comments. I did notice that each flick had helpful keyword tags and an expansive list of categories that help you find scenes where she's engaged in salacious 69 action, posing outdoors or getting fucked.
There are 15 scenes per page, but the site lacks page numbers, so you'll have to keep clicking the tab to browse all the content. There hasn't been anything new added in a little over three months, but as a bonus you'll have access to the entire Open Life Mobile network, including the PC version of this site, Aaliyah Love.
While getting to a scene that catches your eye might take a while, in the end it's well worth it. Aaliyah Love Mobile offers a steamy collection of mostly lesbian action and toy play that you'll be glad to access from your mobile device.

akaisha0-deactivated20141012 said: Hello! I wanted to let you know 1. Your Sugar is wonderful. 2. We used a link to your Tumblr post to express how this cosplay could be done tastefully. We're at war right now with a local convention that despite the allowance of a costume like this by local laws the convention itself refuses to allow basing their point first on the non existent law and then trying to cover their ass when we pointed it out. I hope it's okay that we referenced your work in our argument!
AAaaa that's so flattering! I'm honored that you'd use my cosplay as such a reference really wow but yeah that whole decency ordeal is really strange
You tell 'em!

Today I went to a Halloween store and came home with this.
snowpixiez said: Hello :3 I saw your Sugar cosplay from the game OFF and was wondering where you bought your jacket?
I didn't buy it, I made it myself (without a pattern, too, and that probably wasn't too wise) so sorry if I'm no help regarding that.
If you wanted I could try to explain how I made it?

With gif the transparency works but the text is also transparent above the image
this is the div where I include the backgorund image
.node { padding-top: 15; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15; padding-left: 0; background-image:url(images/nodebackground.png); background-repeat:repeat; float:left;filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25; filter: Alpha(Opacity=25; }
So can somebody explain how to make it transparent, but only the image not the text - does it work with png or gif?
It does not work even with 50% opacity of gif?
Is that true
I usually use (or convert) .jpgs (.png are not ready for 'prime time' yet). Don't use a lot of .gifs when working with my own images. What is the background color of the .gif - does it have one or is it fully transparent already? I would suggest continuing to practice and work with various options.

Product Review: Kor One Hydration Vessel; Hydration Goes High-Tech
This bottle has been all the buz on the world wide webbings. BPA free and very reusable, the idea is that it is a high end replacemant for all those water bottles we go through in a day (yeah- the ones that mysteriously end up off the coast of the Aleutians, or in the Andes Mountains or everywhere else. Follow the jump for more...
posted originally from: Unplggd
We have been to a few presentations by the team that is making this product come to life. RKS, the famous California design consultancy, Eastman Chemical- a big player in innovative plastics and Eric Barnes- the founder and CEO of Kor have put together (at great expense) a bottle that is creating a new market for water and hydration accessories.
The good and the bad...
First of all, this is a magnificent piece of engineering. Secondly, just because we started with good news doesn't mean you should be waiting for the other foot to fall. Sure, we don't like a few things: You can't fit it into a cupholder. It is big enough to carry water for a large part of the day, which is to say: it's pretty big. It cannot be recycled through conventional channels (the number system)- but the plastic is recyclable and the company will take it back when you are done with it. It really does solve the very big trash problem that we mentioned above, as long as you take it seriously and slightly modify a few behaviors- like avoiding buying disposable water bottles on a whim. Finally, it's super gorgeous- like hot.
We received a pre-production model while attending their most recent presentation and were impressed with the changes that had transpired since we last saw it. The latch has been improved, the color has changed from silver to white and they still haven't put an "i" at the beginning of the name- good on them. Apparently some of the parts have been adjusted so they are easier to assemble and last longer- couldn't get the full story on that with time limits.
How is living with the bottle? The mouth is great for pouring and drinking from on the move, the handle is easy to grip for carry, and you can put it in the dishwasher- wow!. It is slightly big for our tastes, though, and you need to be creative when putting it down in the car.
This is going to be amazing for some people and ridiculous for a small group of naysayers. It's about $30 and you can get on the list here.

yeah, i can't justify spending $30 on a bottle to hold water. thanks. anyway.
The Sigg bottles are about $30 and I have one of those despite being a tightwad.
I like that it doesn't fit into a car's cupholder, probably because I'm ornery. I loathe the look of coffee mugs, etc., that are built for the car lifestyle, and I find that they generally don't fit the bussing or biking or walking lifestyles well.
That said, my Sigg bottle fits my personal aesthetic better (though I think Kor One's vessel is lovely) and I don't need another waterbottle anyhow.
Have you ever been embarrased by undoing the velcro of your laptop bag in a quite meeting before, or had to scramble to keep your vibrating cell phone from shaking everyone's coffee cup on your conference table, then the squeak of this lid would probably make you regret buying it in the first place. I have no idea if it is just our bottle or everyones, but we got it for free at some meeting as well, and it is loud. The plastics do look very beautiful, and I might source them in future projects. Kudos's Eastman lab. I am sure they could have done this with living hinges, instead of metal springs. Three elastomer pieces, and springs seam a little unnecessary in a water bottle redesign.
It displays Eastman's plastics pretty well, too bad RKS couldn't receive the same mention.
The samples we gave out at the Eastman / IDSA event, came with the explanation, at the time, that they were pre-prodution samples and in the final debugging stages.
The squeak, as occurs with plastic hinges is something that was known and was being debugged, as is typically needed.
Most everyone I know was happy to receive a preview sample, understanding that it was a work in process.
Sorry if that message didn't get through.
Please enjoy the gift.

Security Basics
mailing list archives
Basically, WG firebox series (note .. not the soho series .. ) include a few Intrusion prevention .. options, like port
blocking with an option to automatically block all traffic from the IP that tried to initiate connection from the
'banned' port, and anamoly detection in proxies (SMTP or HTTP, for example) which can trigger an auto-block of the
source that sent 'suspicious' traffic. Additionally, on SMTP proxy, you can filter extensions, and domains .. etc. etc.
And the included reporting tools are very user friendly, and intuitive. Added to that is the basic choice of syn flood
prevention and all those ..
Do you need an IDS ? Well, if you want an independant 'pattern' based detection system, which gets updated for latest
threats, over the WG IPS, which is reasonably impressive anyway, compared to other SME firewalls .. but static, basic
and not comparable with commercial IDS, well, you should deploy an IDS.
BTW, what is the cost factor you are talking for an IDS ??? If you are deploying a FB 500, I wonder whether you do need
a IDS ..
