Comments about DeckMATE Rail Tray:
I bought it for a party, thinking I could put it out, bring it in as needed. Unfortunately, the balance bar must be screwed to the deck. I will have to unscrew it for winter, as the thought of Maine snow on it, or heavy winds, concern me.
The instructions were poor, especially regarding the attachment of the straps. The craftsmanship was MOSTLY excellent. Where it failed was a bent strap holder, and pin holes that didn't match up. Luckily, my deck contractor came by for some finishing touches at that moment, and was able to un-bend the metal piece and adjust the pin holes.
The finished product is gorgeous, and despite the disappointments, we love it!

The FARR MultiMonitor plugin extends FARR to work better with multiple monitors. FARR's main window currently always shows up on the monitor you moved it to. With the FARR MultiMonitor plugin enabled, FARR's main window will show up on the monitor that contains the currently active window (usually the window of the application you're working in, and also where you're currently looking at) or on the monitor where the mouse currently is.
Additionally, the FARR MultiMonitor plugin can center FARR's main window on the screen.
Download & Install
Download the FarrMultiMonitor installer from here then double-click FarrMultiMonitorSetup.exe to start the installation. I've tested the installer on both Windows XP and Windows 7 32-bit. If you'd rather install the plugin manually, you can download it from here, then unzip it into the FARR plugins directory (usually C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins) and restart FARR.
Note that the plugin offers a couple of options which can be set in the FARR advanced plugin options dialog. There's a brief description of these options in the readme file. Also note that the center option is off by default.
Win + Left : move FARR window to monitor on the left
Win + Right : move FARR window to monitor on the right
Win + Home : center FARR window
Win + Ctrl + 1 .. 0 : resize FARR window to 10% .. 100% of current screen's width
Version history
1.1.0 - 10. May 2009

Life goals
The financial planning
profession is undergoing a revolution, with planners migrating from a money-centered
orientation to what Certified Financial Planner Roy T. Diliberto calls "financial
life planning." The more humanistic movement focuses on what clients want to achieve
in their lifetime and helps them to reach those goals by working with them in
managing their personal finances.
Quiz people about
their financial goals and you'll get general statements about owning a home, raising
a family, providing for their children's college educations, traveling and saving
for retirement. Financial life planning puts a finer point on these goals, allowing
client and planner to build a roadmap to accomplishing them.
When you're in your 20s, it's very difficult
to make retirement savings a priority. That's because you have competing goals
for your income such as paying down student loans, buying a car, furnishing your
apartment, saving for the down payment on a house. But if your employer offers
matching contributions to a 401(k) retirement account, take up the
offer. Otherwise you're turning away free money that would help you achieve your
Money invested in your 20s has 30 to 40 years
to earn a return. Wait until your 40s to start investing for retirement and that
money only has about 20 years to grow. You'll need to put a lot more aside to
achieve the same nest egg.
My favorite statistic in
this area comes from "The
Girl's Guide to Retirement" but, don't worry guys, it applies to you, too:
This assumes that your investments earn an 8
percent average annual return in a tax-deferred retirement account.
Taxes and Investing
you're saving for retirement, there are a host of tax-advantaged accounts: Roth
IRAs, traditional IRAs, plus employer plans such as 401(k), Roth
401(k), 403(b)
and 457 plans. They're called tax advantaged because some are tax-deferred, such
as traditional IRAs, 401(k) and 403(b) accounts, while
others -- the Roth IRA and Roth 401(k) -- are tax-free for qualified
Contributions to traditional IRAs,
401(k) and 403(b) plans are typically made with pre-tax
dollars and qualified distributions are taxed at ordinary income rates when the
money comes out of the account. Roth IRA and Roth 401(k) contributions
are made with after-tax dollars and qualified distributions are free of federal
income tax. Nonqualified distributions, for example, those taken before age 59�
in the case of IRAs, can result in a 10 percent penalty tax.
Money can also be invested in taxable accounts.
It's called a taxable account because you have to pay taxes on the investment
earnings in the year that they are recognized in the account. The taxes vary depending
on whether the investment earnings are qualified dividend income, interest income,
short-term capital gain or long-term capital gain. The tax code also changes with
time, so applicable tax rates on these different types of investment earnings
can go up or down. Tax-efficient investing in a taxable account can make sense
as an alternative to retirement savings in tax-advantaged accounts.
you decide on the types of accounts you will contribute to, you can work on the
investments held in these accounts. A 401(k) or 403(b)
plan typically has a limited list of investments to choose from, but other retirement
and taxable accounts don't face the same limitations. To open IRA, Roth IRA and
taxable accounts, you can choose from among banks, brokerage houses or mutual
fund firms.
401(k) or IRA?
your company has a 401(k) plan where the company matches a portion
of your contributions, it makes sense to contribute at least up to the limit of
the match. After that, where you put your retirement money depends on your income
level and investment goals.
an advocate for financial flexibility. Unlike employer-sponsored plans, an IRA
or Roth IRA account lets you avoid the penalty tax on early distributions in certain
situations. For example, first-time home buyers can tap up to $10,000 of IRA money
for a down
payment on a home penalty free.
If you are covered
by your employer's retirement plan, then your ability to contribute tax-deferred
dollars to a traditional IRA may be limited, depending on your Modified Adjusted
Gross Income (MAGI). Your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA doesn't depend on
whether you are covered by your employer's retirement plan, but eligible contribution
limits phase out if your income exceeds a certain level.
you can't contribute to a Roth because your income is too high and you can't contribute
pre-tax dollars to a traditional IRA, you can contribute after-tax dollars to
a traditional IRA. It can make sense to do so because the income restrictions
on the Roth go away in 2010 and you can then convert
your traditional IRA monies on a pro-rata basis to a Roth IRA account.
forget about the spousal IRA or the Retirement
Savings Contributions Credit that are allowed up to certain income levels.
Clear as mud? IRS Publication 590, Individual
Retirement Arrangements, does a good job of walking you through the rules.
Asset allocation and risk
common asset-allocation
decision among investments is between stocks, bonds and cash, or mutual funds/exchange-traded
funds (ETFs) that invest in stocks, bonds or cash. Cash is financial shorthand
for money market investments that are short-term debt securities with a final
maturity of less than one year. Bank deposits can be classified as cash if they
are held in a money market account, checking account or a short-term certificate
of deposit, or as bonds if the certificate of deposit has a maturity longer than
one year.
retirement investments face two major risks: principal risk and inflation risk.
With principal risk, the risk is that your investments decline in value. Inflation
risk involves the decline of the purchasing power of your investments over time.
Conservative investors tend to be more concerned about the risk to principal,
but they should be just as concerned about purchasing power risk.
A simple illustration with car prices explains
why you need to worry about both. If car prices go up by 5 percent each year,
a car that costs $30,000 today will cost $38,288 five years from now. Invest $30,000
today for five years in a CD with an after-tax yield of 4 percent and you'll have
$36,500. Your insured deposit never faced any principal risk, but you won't be
able to afford to buy the car for cash five years from now when you could have
today. Take this example out 30 to 40 years and the importance of having your
investment returns outpace inflation is magnified.
you shouldn't hold a lot of cash in your retirement accounts early in your career.
Choosing a specific allocation
between stocks, bonds and cash is a balancing act between the investor's tolerance
for risk and his or her investment goals.
Active vs. passive
investors believe they can beat their investment benchmarks through investment
selection and/or market timing. There are a host of active strategies that include
sector rotation, value investing, momentum investing and market timing.
In an extreme example of market timing, someone
aims to invest in the stock market when it's heading higher, sitting on the sidelines
the rest of the time. The problem, of course, is that investors are generally
lousy at predicting future market movements.
A passive
investor is willing to accept average performance. Buy-and-hold investors in indexed
mutual funds or exchange traded funds (ETFs) are passive investors. Market timers
can also own index funds or ETFs, but they actively trade the shares based on
their outlook for the market.
Bond investors can try
to time the market too. When interest rates go up, bond prices go down. Active
bond investors try to avoid being "long and wrong" -- meaning they don't want
to invest in long maturities when they expect interest rates are heading higher.
They also don't want to be "short and sorry," investing in shorter maturities
only to see interest rates head lower.
Tactical asset
allocation changes the mix of assets based on what looks cheap or expensive in
the eye of the portfolio manager or investor. If stocks look expensive, then the
manager lightens up on stock exposure and adds the proceeds to either cash or
Account fees for actively managed funds are
typically much more expensive than for indexed mutual funds. That makes it that
much harder for active managers to beat the performance of the benchmark index
net of fees.
In the early stages of investing for
retirement, a low-cost, no-load, indexed mutual fund that mirrors the holdings
of a broadly based market index is a solid investment decision.

Roomies by Sara Zarr and Tara AltebrandoJanuary 3, 2014
Roomies by Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando is a really fun book about the ups and downs of having a roommate and leaving home for the first time. Elizabeth and Lauren live 3,000 miles away from each other, but they've just been assigned to live together in the freshman dorms at UC Berkeley. Elizabeth, an only child eager for a roomie to be BFFs with, emails Lauren right away to settle who is bringing what to their new home. Lauren, big sister to five siblings and desperate for a room to herself, is less than pleased to hear that she's been assigned a roommate. Though their friendship gets off to a rocky start because of this, they keep emailing back-and-forth all summer and eventually help each other deal with all the things that will come along with going off to college: leaving behind your family, making new friends, and trying to have long-distance relationships.
The story is told in alternating chapters from Elizabeth and Lauren's POVs, much like Will Grayson, Will Grayson or Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. This was a light and quick read; I think I may have breezed through it in one sitting! Though sometimes things get a little too soap opera-ish (especially Elizabeth's story), I really enjoyed the format and watching Elizabeth and Lauren's friendship evolve over time. If you enjoyed Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl and are looking for more books about leaving for college, Roomies is a good pick.

For people like Paul Augustine, Donna Nardone, Robert Zawadski, and thousands of others who have chosen Bridgeport Hospital over the past two decades, Bridgeport Hospital is the heart hospital of choice. When they want the latest technology and physician expertise to care for the only heart they have, they know exactly where to go.
Bridgeport Hospital's Heart Institute has been at the forefront of outstanding and compassionate cardiac care for more than 20 years. We offer the full breadth of services including advanced diagnostics, angioplasty and stent procedures, cardiac bypass surgery and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation, just to name a few. Bridgeport Hospital patients also have the opportunity to participate in ground breaking clinical trials, and we are proud of the contribution we have made to the development of new procedures, medications, and devices (such as drug-eluting stents). These all help to combat cardiac disease and benefit our patients.
What further sets the Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital apart from all other programs is our experienced staff. Their many years of working together is crucial to providing life-saving care in a quick, thorough manner. Other hospitals may build and promote their cardiac programs, but they cannot buy or replicate the success that comes from working – for two decades – as a finely oiled machine. This experience, offered only by the Bridgeport Hospital Heart Institute team, is priceless!

I can certainly understand why people would want almost everything that isn't expressly written in the constitution to be governed by the states because I get the feeling the federal government isn't really being checked by anything at this point. Unfortunately I can also understand that the population as a whole might not have the collective intelligence to make that work without the occasional state wanting to teach about the magical doings of Jesus in school. Walrus mentions the right to privacy but I don't find it likely that any state is going to implement any measures to invade privacy any more-so than the federal government has already done with things like the patriot act; could be wrong I suppose, don't know who'd vote for it though.
I would be surprised if there'd be any republicans who disagree with the premise of a more state-centric government. Though I suppose a lot of them just use that "small government" mantra because it sounds good. It does annoy me that Romney's a "small government" republican who wants to overstep states rights in regards to medical cannabis... doesn't sound like small government to me.

I mean, the first amendment, for example, says there should be no law abridging the right to free speech. Does that mean it should not be illegal to yell "fire" in a movie theater, or to engage in libel or slander? Taking the constitution completely at it's word and not interpreting it's meaning is bizarre, at least to me. Even originalists interpret.
I have read the Federal Papers, actually. And the anti-Federalist papers. This was in high school, mind you, but I still have the books and every time I look at them I think "why the **** did I keep these?" Then right after I think, "I should probably read these again." But then I don't.You are right though, I would say that use of fuels, soft drinks, or setting forth a curriculum for schools (outside of setting very basic standards that constitute acceptable minimum levels of achievement) is none of the federal government's business. The federal government has a critical role in this Republic but state's rights and their unique but limited sovereignty is also critical. Read the "Federalist Papers" and you will see that this balance has been argued for the entire history of our country and resolving these arguments was crucial to getting ratification for the constitution. It is still critical for maintaining our Republic.

America's Stonehenge
105 Haverhill Road
Salem, NH 03079
Ph: 603-893-8300
Built by a Native American Culture or a migrant European population? No one knows for sure.
A maze of man-made chambers, walls and ceremonial meeting places, America's Stonehenge is most likely the oldest man-made construction in the United States (over 4000 years old).
Like Stonehenge in England, America's Stonehenge was built by ancient people well versed in astronomy and stone construction. It has been determined that the site is an accurate astronomical calendar. It was, and still can be, used to determine specific solar and lunar events of the year. Enjoy a leisurely walk through the 105 acres of woodlands and wildlife at America's Stonehenge.
America's Stonehenge is also home to eight friendly alpacas. Come visit the herd and learn more about these interesting animals. Three babies, or cria, have already been born on the property, with more to come.

Games of the XXI Olympiad
Our national pride in hosting the world, and in winning more medals than in the previous two Olympic Games combined (11), was tempered by the fact that Canada did not win a gold medal. Swimmers claimed eight of Canada's medals, with athletics, canoeing and equestrian boasting the other three. Greg Joy won a silver medal in the high jump event.
Women's events were included for the first time in basketball, rowing and team handball. Field hockey was played on an artificial pitch for the first time.
There was an innovation in the transport of the flame with the 1976 Games. The Olympic flame arrived by air, sent in the form of an electronic signal by a telephone cable towards a transmitter in the direction of a satellite from the Intelsat network. It was then forwarded to a receiver where the stored energy activated a laser beam which gave it back its original appearance.
Nadia Comaneci was the star of the Games. The 14-year-old Romanian gymnast caused a sensation when, for her performance on the uneven bars, she was awarded the first-ever perfect score of 10.0. She eventually earned seven 10.0s.
Olympic Oath (athletes): Pierre Saint-Jean (weightlifting)
Olympic Oath (officials): Maurice Forget (athletics)
Olympic Oath (coaches): None
Lighting Olympic Cauldron: Stéphane Préfontaine and Sandra Henderson
Official Opening: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

The world's press were universally full of praise for Ana following a potentially career-defining victory over world No.1 Serena Williams in the Australian Open fourth round on Sunday. Reports of Ana's match dominated the sports sections on Sunday morning.
Sports Illustrated's John Wertheim, one of the world's leading tennis writers, summed up Ana's superiority off the ground:
Misleading as tennis stats can be, in this case, the scoresheet serves as forensic evidence. Ivanovic won more points overall and 16 more points returning. She hit 20 forehand winners to Serena's two. Ivanovic won more points behind her first serve. In short, she "out-Serena'ed" Serena. "How did it happen?" Ivanovic giddily asked after the match.
His colleague Courtney Nguyen, in her popular Beyond The Baseline blog on SI.com, focused on the unlikely nature of Ana's win, after she lost the opening set:
Even with a break lead early in the final set, an Ivanovic victory seemed far off. She was on a roll in every facet of the game, swatting return winners off Williams' second serve and stepping in to control as many rallies as possible with her forehand. There would be no wobble this time: Ivanovic held her final two service games at love. For a player who has struggled with her serve over the years, Ivanovic faced just three break points in the match, all in the first set. Williams went nine consecutive games without earning a break point.
Ivanovic beat Williams for the first time in five attempts, snapped the 17-time major champion's 25-match winning streak and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the first time since 2008.
The Telegraph newspaper in London put the victory into context by highlighting the highs and lows of Ana's career:
The 26 year-old reached the Australian Open final in 2008 and followed up by winning her maiden grand slam title at the French Open the same year to become world number one.
Great things were predicted but the weight of expectation was too much for Ivanovic at such a young age and she had managed only one more grand slam quarter-final.
This was without question her best grand slam victory since winning Roland Garros, and she was nerveless serving it out to love.
Inevitably perhaps, some American media focused on an injury that Williams' coach apparently revealed to the press.
However, USA Today's Chris Chase, under the headline, "Plain and simple, Serena Williams got beat", wrote:
Most surprising was that Ivanovic won the match by beating Serena at her own power game. She hit 20 forehand winners to Serena's two. She returned Serena's powerful serve with ease, giving herself 14 break opportunities during the match. Ivanovic, a player who's snatched defeat from the jaws of victory countless times over the past five years, was even able to hold her serve with ease when victory was close. Even after Serena held with a dominant game at 2-5 in the third and everyone in Rod Laver Stadium could feel a slight momentum shift, Ivanovic clinched the match with a service game at love.
In Serena's last two major losses — to Sloane Stephens in the 2013 Australian Open and to Sabine Lisicki at Wimbledon later that year — she did more to lose than her opponents did to win. And, to be fair, she didn't play well against Ivanovic. Her balance was off and her footwork non-existent. In her post-match press conference, she spoke of a nagging back injury, though she gave all credit to Ivanovic. Serena isn't usually one to give excuses, especially when the best explanation for her Sunday loss is more simple than that.
On this particular afternoon, injury or not, she wasn't the best player on the court. It's not often Serena Williams can say that at a Grand Slam.
Similarly, Richard Hinds, writing in Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper, highlighted Serena's recognition that Ana was the better player:
SERENA Williams arrived at this Australian Open hoping to win the 18th grand slam title that would tie her with Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova on the all-time winners list, behind only Margaret Court, Steffi Graf and Helen Wills Moody.
This, we - and particularly the bookmakers who made her an odds-on favourite - had assumed would enhance Williams' increasingly compelling claim to be considered the greatest female tennis player of all time.
So how was it that for almost all the one hour and 56 minutes of Williams' 6-4 3-6 3-6 defeat to Ana Ivanovic she was not even the best player on Rod Laver Arena? How was Williams so badly humbled by a player who had not taken a set from her in five previous encounters?
The answer came in the moments after the match. It came in the long and clearly heartfelt congratulations Williams offered Ivanovic at the net and the mantra she repeated often at her press conference: ''Full credit to Ana. She played a great match.''
So often in the past Williams has been accused of being a sore loser. It says something about how well Ivanovic executed a devastating game plan that, this time, Williams was just sore.

The city of Gaithersburg's human resources manager, Margaret Daily, was fired Feb. 2 after refusing to retire from her post at the urging of new City Manager Tony Tomasello.
Daily, 60, had worked for the city for more than 27 years.
She told The Gazette on Friday that she was fired via email on Jan. 30 following a discussion with Tomasello during which he asked her to retire on Jan. 29.
Tomasello told her that it was "in the city's best interest to separate me from service," Daily said. The email stated her last day would be Feb. 2.
Tomasello declined to comment on the situation, explaining that it was a "personnel matter."
In November, city staff identified three finalists for the then-open position of city manager. Tomasello, then acting city manager, was a finalist, along with Annapolis City Manager Michael Malinoff and Kerrville, Texas, City Manager Todd Parton.
Daily, a Gaithersburg resident, coordinated the search and said she did not support Tomasello as the top candidate, but declined to explain why. After Tomasello was sworn in, she said he "tried what he could to get me gone."
"In his mind, there is a reason he wanted me gone," Daily said. "Maybe not just because I didn't support him; if it wasn't my work performance, he did not tell me."
Daily said there were no disciplinary actions in her personnel folder for her nearly three decades on the job.
Daily said there was a general lack of communication between Tomasello and herself. When Tomasello asked if she had thought about retiring. Daily responded, "If you want me gone, you will have to man up and fire me."
She refused to sign a confidentiality agreement, saying that others who had done so felt they "sold their soul."
"I wanted people to know that he wanted me gone because I didn't support him and I believe that was the reason 100 percent," she explained. "I don't think I was treated with the respect I deserve."
Daily said she will miss her staff the most, but she doesn't regret refusing the option to retire. Gaithersburg Mayor Sidney Katz said he had worked with Daily for many years, but declined to comment further.
"We certainly valued her service while she was here," he said.
City Attorney Lynn Board did not return calls for comment by press time.

You want a really weird ride? A science fiction or fantasy epic that stretches your brain like taffy and ties it into strange irregular shapes? Forget television or movies: books are where the really off-kilter stories are told in speculative fiction.
A while ago, we listed 10 ultra-weird science fiction books that you've never read. But what's really mind-blowing is the list of science fiction and fantasy books that are equally strange — but which almost everybody has read, or wants to read. Here are 10 super-weird SF books that are considered part of the canon.

Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany
Why It's Weird: It opens with a man making love to a woman who turns into a tree. It ends with this:
But I still hear them walking in the trees: not speaking.
Waiting here, away from the terrifying weaponry, out of
the halls of vapor and light, beyond holland into the
hills, I have come to
Dhalgren takes place in a burning, dilapidated, extra-dimensional city named Bellona, and it's famous for its non-linear narrative, which requires multiple readings to get a lot of meaning out of.
Why It's Required: Dhalgren is full of mythological references, and layers of meaning. It's also a fascinatingly contentious book. The novel has drawn praise from Umberto Eco: "I consider Delany not only one of the most important SF writers of the present generation, but a fascinating writer in general who has invented a new style." It's become a stage play and a MOO, and it's been compared to Pynchon. The original edition sold more than a million copies.
The Four-Gated City by Doris Lessing
Why It's Weird: Lessing's sprawling Children of Violence series starts out as realistic quasi-memoir about growing up in Africa, only to turn weird and experimental in the final couple of volumes. There is voluntary sleep deprivation, weird sexual experiments where nobody touches each other, and more. After spending the entire series building the character of Martha Quest, Lessing kills her off on a contaminated island off the coast of Scotland during World War Three. Lessing's World War Three takes place during the '60s and '70s, with most of Britain wiped out via bubonic plague, nerve gases, nuclear explosions, etc. by 1978. The ideas behind the novel, as elucidated on Lessing's own website: "[It] takes on the medical profession, which she believes is destroying (recently through imprisonment, currently through the use of drugs) that part of humanity which is in fact most sensitive to evolution, those people we label as mentally sick or unbalanced: and, criticising the scientists who have created and perpetuate a climate in which "rationalism" has become a new God, she claims that everyone has "extra-sensory perception", in varying degrees, but has been brainwashed into suppressing it, and that schizophrenia is the name of our blindest contemporary prejudice."
Why It's Required: Lessing won the 2007 Nobel Prize and wrote The Golden Notebook, which frequently appears on college syllabi — but the Children of Violence trilogy is the series on which she spent arguably the most time, and in many ways the cornerstone of her work. Earlier parts of the Children of Violence series appear on college syllabi pretty often.
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
Why It's Weird: The novel follows Valentine Michael Smith, son of the first astronauts to explore Mars, as he is reintegrated into human society after being raised as a Martian. Valentine believes a bunch of strange things, Valentine believes in a bunch of strange things, including the rightness and sacredness of consuming your friend's flesh after he/she dies, the superfluity of clothing, and the obvious self-evidence of an afterlife, based on his experiences on Mars. He founds the Church of All Worlds, in which sexual liberation blends with psychokinesis.
Why It's Required: In addition to winning the 1962 Hugo Award for Best Novel, Stranger in a Strange Land is considered a bona fide classic, frequently mentioned on the lists of the best science fiction books of all time. One of its invented Martian words, "grok" has even entered the Oxford English Dictionary. You can also see it on Pearson's Recommended High School Reading List.
Ubik by Philip K. Dick
Why It's Weird: From lunar telepaths to mysterious product placements to a kid named Jory who sucks the life force out of other people, this is a book that doesn't particularly care about making sense. Did we mention that half the characters might be dead? As Conceptual Fiction explains, "Ubik keeps you guessing at almost every step along the way, and your hypotheses about what is actually transpiring will probably change several times as the story progresses. From this regard, the work progresses much like a conventional mystery, with clues to be deciphered and puzzles to be solved. Only here the questions are peculiar ones – not who committed the murder, but whether a murder actually took place, not finding the body but understanding what a body might be and become, not avenging a death but reassessing the boundaries between life and death."
Why It's Required: Most often found in science fiction class syllabi, Ubik is also used as an example of of late-'60s paranoia about reality and government or corporate control of life. And Time Magazine named it as one of the 100 best novels written in English between 1923 and 2005. Reportedly, Michel Gondry is working on a movie version.
The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold
Why It's Weird: This is a novel about time travel, and as such it comes with all the expected weirdnesses - time paradoxes, alternate realities, etc. However, the really weird part of this book is the way that the protagonist interacts with past and future versions of himself. While he starts off with the generic stuff, like betting with his past self on sporting events of which he already knows the outcome, he graduates to having sex and a relationship with his past and future selves, including massive time-traveling orgies. He eventually impregnates a female version of himself, and she may turn out to be his own mother. Basically, time-wimey, orgy-porgy.
Why It's Required: This novel was nominated for two prestigious genre awards, the 1973 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1974 Hugo Award for Best Novel. It also appears on lots of college syllabi.
The Female Man by Joanna Russ
Why It's Weird: In The Female Man, four women from different realities are brought together, and after experiencing each other's gendered (or not) cultures, come away with new ideas about womanhood and gender roles. The catalyst for their meeting, Jael, comes from a dystopia which literalizes the "battle of the sexes" into an actual war between men and women. Another woman, Janet, comes from a world called Whileaway, where all the men were killed in a gender-specific plague more than 800 years ago.
Why It's Required: Nowadays, it's read as a representative work from the 1970s feminist movement, but it's also picked up a crop of awards. Like many works in this list, it was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel (in 1975), and it also won a Retrospective Tiptree Award in 1996 and Gaylactic Spectrum Hall of Fame Award in 2002.
Dreamsnake by Vonda McIntyre
Why It's Weird: The novel follows a healer through a post-apocalyptic, desert-like landscape, as she looks for a replacement "dreamsnake." Dreamsnake bites produce hallucinations similar to acid trips. So in a sense, what we're looking at here is one long roadtrip dedicated to the pursuit of LSD.
Why It's Required: Dreamsnake swept the awards when it was first published, winning the 1979 Hugo Award, the 1978 Nebula Award, and the 1979 Locus Award. It was also nominated for the 1979 Ditmar Award in International Fiction.
Lilith's Brood (Previously Xenogenesis) by Octavia Butler
Why It's Weird: The most famous feature of the three novels in Lilith's Brood is the Oankali, an alien race which has three sexes - male, female and ooloi. Their goal is to replace the human race with human-Oankali hybrids after a massive near-genocide has almost wiped out humanity. The main character, Lilith, is a human who spends most of her time among the Oankali, and eventually sides with them against humans. Mating is probably where it gets weirdest. All three sexes are necessary for reproduction. The ooloi take genetic material directly from the bodies of the other two partners as needed to create new life; although the female stores the child in her body, she doesn't have a uterus, and the baby will exit through a random location after about 14-15 months.
Why It's Required: Lilith's Brood was written by multiple Nebula- and Hugo-winning author Octavia Butler. It's taught in college classes, and often appears on lists of the best science fiction and fantasy books of all time.
The Mount by Carol Emshwiller
Why It's Weird: In the world of the novel, humans are used as riding mounts for an alien race called the Hoots. And most of them are pretty cool with it. As we wrote back in 2007, "Hoots have weak legs that fit perfectly around human necks, as well as superior weapons that easily convert the disobedient to dust. What's compelling about this beautifully-written novel, though, is that it's no simple "aliens oppress humans" tale. It explores what happens when humans get used to, and even enjoy, their servitude."
Why It's Required: It won the 2002 Philip K. Dick Award and was nominated for the 2003 Nebula Award for Best Novel.
The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway
Why It's Weird: Bombs in this world attack matter by "removing information" from it. This process causes the matter to disappear entirely, and is supposed to represent a "clean" weapons system without the radiation side effects of previous powerful weapons. However, the bombs do leave behind their own waste, referred to as "stuff," that floats around the world in giant storms. When these storms come in contact with the noosphere, they take the form of whatever the nearest person is thinking about, resulting in horrific apparitions and "new" people popping out of nowhere. In the post-war world that constitutes the novel's present, this "stuff" is kept at bay with whatever comes out of the Jorgmund pipe.
Why It's Required: It was nominated for a 2009 Locus Award for Best First Novel and a BSFA Award for Best Novel.

Xerox PR releases enter the social world
a blog posting. The issue of news release distribution is changing, said Jillian Tobias, senior account exec at PR company Boardroom Communications. "In certain industries, I actually have Twitter lists to tweet about news," Tobias said. "Social media also has been the most important tool for me when understanding national trends." Tobias said the traditional news release, optimized for search, still has a place in the marketing mix, but it depends on the client. "If you're Xerox, it may be effective. But for smaller companies, even if they have 10,000 followers, you may not be hitting the right markets with social announcements." For Xerox, the personal element was key. "We asked ourselves, "Would it be more engaging if we told a story?' " Carone said. "We said, "Let's give it a try.' If we didn't feel it was well-communicated to our constituents, we could always do a news release at a later date." Carone said that regulatory requirements, which often necessitate official publication via news releases, weren't involved in this particular case. "We were realistic about this," she said. "We realized that the announcement didn't require top-line media coverage. But we wanted to ensure that our employees and the customer base who were engaged in external social channels jumped on the news quickly." Carone said that, with this announcement, the personal touch was important. "I wrote it from a personal perspective," Carone said. "I offered a less formal tone. This doesn't work every time, and a lot of companies will have the obligation to issue a press release. But for us, social is becoming a new, important way to spread meaningful messages." Carone's blog received 2,400 visits on its first day online; and, after two days, that figure doubled. "This turned out to be a more engaging approach to distributing news," Carone said. "This isn't rocket science, but every day we're taking some risks and learning."

With everyone returning from a 9-13 team that finished tied for fifth in the Hawkeye 10 Conference a year ago, Creston head boys basketball coach Billy Hiatt expects his second season as coach to be more successful.
"We return everybody back. It should be a little better year this year," Hiatt said. "It was my first year last year, so guys were kind of feeling me out a little bit. I was feeling them out. We should have a little more success this year just because the system isn't new to them this year."
The Panthers lost five games by six points or less last season, including a double overtime loss to Adel-DeSoto-Minburn at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
That is one area Hiatt expects last year's experience to improve his squad this season.
"It's huge, especially in close games," Hiatt said. "There were quite a few games last year we lost that were very close. Having seniors back in there, having guys with experience, is huge. Last year we lost in double overtime to ADM at Wells Fargo Arena. This year, we've got guys who are used to doing that, so it should play a big advantage for us on that end."
The Panthers return 12 players with varsity experience from a year ago, nine of which are seniors this year.
"We were young last year. Toward the end of the year, we didn't have any seniors," Hiatt said. "Relatively speaking, you may have had some varsity time, but you're young when you're all juniors and sophomores. This year, we're senior heavy, so we should have some experience, which will make a difference."
Colby Taylor, first-team all-conference last year, led the team in scoring last year at 11.7 points per game, while Luke Neitzel, second-team Hawkeye 10, averaged 10.2 points.
Taylor proved to be a strong shooter, hitting 35 percent of his 3-point attempts, knocking down 44 over the course of the season.
Trey Thomsen, Hawkeye 10 honorable mention a year ago, averaged 9.1 points per game and Briar Evans added 6.3.
"Colby Taylor really worked on his shooting more this summer," Hiatt said. "I'm hoping he's going to be shooting well for us again. He's a little taller, little longer, so that helps.Luke Neitzel, he's a senior this year for us. I really like his manners, the way he's doing things. He seems to really be hooking up and showing some leadership in that role.
"We return Briar Evans inside. He's bigger, stronger, a little more athletic this year, so looking for big things out of him," Hiatt continued.
Point guard Kainen Somers worked on his shot over the summer, and Hiatt says he is showing signs of improvement this season. Ryan Cook, a 6-8 post player, with another year of playing under his belt after taking his sophomore season off, looks stronger this year, as well.
Seniors Caleb Thompson, Zach Powers and Bryce McIlravy – when he returns from a broken ankle sustained during football season – will prove to be important role players for the Panthers this year.
Added into the mix of returners from last year is sophomore Jay Wolfe, who will add a key component that was missing from last year's Panther squad.
"He can score from anywhere around," Hiatt said. "He's really good in the 15-foot range, and that's something we were really missing last year, was a midrange game. We had guys who could shoot threes and we had guys who could penetrate a little bit, but we were kind of missing that midrange, which will really help against the zone."
Also added to this year's roster is sophomore Alex Nielsen.
These additions, along with a full year of the players working with his system, has Hiatt optimistic for the season.
"I'm hoping this year we can have some success," Hiatt said. "Atlantic, he returned everyone this year, so they should be very good. Harlan will be typical Harlan. They'll always be tough. I'm hoping to be top three or four (Hawkeye 10) this year. We open up with Lewis Central. He was above us. He returns some key players back, as well. It should be a dog fight in the Hawkeye 10, for sure. We should have a chance this year to make some noise."
The Panthers open the season Friday at Lewis Central before taking on ADM at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines at 5 p.m. Saturday.
Tickets for that game are on sale at the CHS office, and can be purchased for $7. That ticket also includes admission to the Iowa Energy home opener, which takes place immediately following the high school game.

Hang tight!
Recipe by MISS_MARSH
"I watched mom make these rolls when I was young and have always loved how easy they are to make!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 (.25 ounce) packages
active dry yeast
1/3 cup
white sugar
2 cups
warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon
6 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour, divided
1/3 cup
vegetable oil
1/2 cup
white sugar
2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
This was a very good recipe. My 4 tips: 1.) Roll out one big log and cut it into individual rolls; It's much easier. 2.) I always use a pizza cutter (the wheeled tool) to slice the dough strips. 3.) I got 12 huge rolls out of the recipe this way, using a 9 x 13" pan. Your quantity will vary depending on how thin you roll out the dough, how many strips/rolls you cut out of the dough, and what size pan you use.
4.) The filling listed is not nearly enough to flavor all of this dough! For the filling, I mixed together 1 cup white granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, about 3 tablespoons of cinnamon, and some chopped nuts, and added that to the buttered dough, then rolled up the strips to form rolls.
I've tongue-in-cheekingly renamed this recipe: "CinnaKnots". :o) I made this recipe for a pot-luck reception at my church. Instead of making 12 great big knots I cut the slices smaller and ended up making 55 small knots.
I do however, have a few complaints about this recipe:
1) the dough is really sticky and I had a terrible time kneading it. My heavy duty mixmaster was labouring.
2) the dough is somewhat bland even after I doubled the sugar and added cinnamon.
3) The cinnamon sugar wouldn't stick to the knots so I ended up dipping the tops into a little bit of milk then rolling them in the cinnamon sugar (which BTW consisted of white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg).
They came out nice and crunchy but it tasted like something was missing. I think next time I make this I'll use more sugar (maybe brown) and more spices.

I'm giving this a 5 for the dough!!! These turned out AWSOME!! A few adjustments were...I used milk intsead of water and I put 2 tsp. vanilla in the egg/oil mixture.(it makes the dough a little more flavorful...less like plain bread. I did these as a big rolled out "sheet" and smeared soft butter before my cinnamon/sugar. I keep a tub of sugar/cinnamon/flour that I use for my cinnamon rolls and fruit pies.(1/2 C. brown sugar, 3/4 C. white sugar, 1/4 C. flour, and 4 TBS. cinnamon...the four helps keep your filling inside the cinn. rolls, and works to thicken the juice in your fruit pie) These are also great if you spread diced apples on the dough before you roll it up...YUM!!
while the dough of this recipe is good (rises well, light), the essential part, sugar and cinnamon, are not enough. if you want the normal cinnamon buns that are sticky sweet, you'll need to increase the sugar plus add a drizzle frosting after baking. if you want something more bready with a hint of cinnamon and sugar, don't make any changes.
Using previous suggestions, these are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had (I think even better than pillsbury! For the filling I used 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar and 3 T cinnamon. I also rolled out one big rectangle and rolled it up and cut off slices. It filled 2 pie plates full. I also drizzled on a confectioner sugar/milk topping when they were still warm. The dough can sit over night in the fridge in place of the 40 minutes if you wish.
Great recipe. I took the suggestion to just roll the dough out, then spread the cinnamon sugar mix over it, roll up, then cut. Definitely use brown sugar. One thing might be to sprinkle crushed butter (or regular) pecans on top. Also, a GREAT drizzling glaze that adds a little more flavor is a mix of 1 Cup Confectioner's sugar, 1 Tablespoon margarine or butter (softened), and 1 Tbsp milk, stirred together then just drizzled over rolls after taking them out of the oven.
Dough was light though very sticky. Taste was kinda plain. I made this recipe a second time putting brown sugar at the bottom of the 9x13 pan I also added brown sugar to the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Gave it a lot more flavor. recipe made 12 very large bows! Next time I'll try to roll out the dough. Very good recipe over all
Yum! Yum! Yum! I just made these for my family and they love them!!! I did follow other peoples advise and use more sugar, added brown sugar and nuts. I will most definately be making these again. Thank you Shanna for the wonderful recipe!!!

Gallery: Parasitic Guerrilla Architecture Hijacks the Arche de la Défen...
Pocket of Active Resistance is a modular housing system stuck to the interior walls of la Défense that grows organically out of the insurrection and malcontent of the people. Homes consists of modules affixed to the interior walls of the building that are connected via catwalks and scaffolding. Modules can be connected together to create larger abodes. They look a bit ramshackle and scraped together from recycled parts and pieces, and Malka claims in his proposal that a housing module would only cost 3,000 euros.
La Résistance is a clear theme that runs strongly through French culture, but this design could easily be applied to any building of political or cultural importance. What if these guerrilla modules were affixed to the Pentagon in the US? Malka's design is strongly based on environmental concerns, as the act of building new always degrades the environment — which is why he proposes these parasitic homes that take advantage of existing infrastructure.
"In light of these social, economic, and ecologic urgencies, it is necessary to reconsider the city with the logic of transformation: through superposition, addition, and the extension of our built heritage more than through that of a univocal tabula rasa. This means reclaiming territory in the marginalized areas of our cities, with projects that bear insurrection and civic mobilization."

William Gibson beat him to the punch. In VIRTUAL LIGHT, the Bay Bridge-rendered unusable by traffic in a massive earthquake- is turned into a vertical squatters camp by poor people rendered homeless by the same quake.

This is both a brilliant demonstration of the concept of adaptive reuse but also a very profound political statement. It\\\'s an illustration of a Post-Industrial re-appropriation of the technology, resources, and sociopolitical power of the Industrial Age and its monolithic systems in the wake of its progressive functional collapse by virtue of its inherent unsustainability and oppressiveness. It\\\'s illustrating a story of a society that is compelled to find its own new way -create it\\\'s own new systems- amidst the remnants/ruins of a dysfunctional political and economic system that simply stopped serving the interests of the public. Its a glimpse of a very plausible very-near-future where we are compelled to reinvent wheels in an ad hoc manner for the sake of survival when the \\\'system\\\' has run so far off the rails it\\\'s made itself an anachronism. One might nit-pick the \\\'practicality\\\' of such dwellings, but that\\\'s missing the point. This construction would be intended as an act of protest.
I\\\'ve often wondered why we don\\\'t actually see more of what could be called \\\'architectural activism\\\', but then, until quite recently, designers were rather content as professionals in service of the upper-class -since if you wanted to make Big Things you had to go to people with money. Perhaps designers, having recently become more aware of the developing world and environmental situations and how design potentially impacts those situations, are now starting to clue-in to their relation to the political and economic systems operating in the world at present. They are starting to notice the connections the environmentalism movement has understood for a long time. Architecture has often been used to make political statements. They just haven\\\'t yet been particularly progressive statements.

[…] intriguing irregularity and resulting differentiated terraces are our favorite feature of this design. And the spacing of the homes isn't just for […]

I wonder if they remembered that people poop, use water, maybe cook with gas, use electricity when they design these boxes.
Mass Housing units devote a good amount of space for these infrastructures and I am not seeing it with this design.

I don't know if you can say "Shanty Town" or "Hooverville" but I can…
The first natural disaster to hit the area (or even just a heavy rain) would cause a humanitarian crisis.

The concept picture makes the Arche look like a city within a city. It's absolutely beautiful.
July 7, 2010 at 9:18 pm
I find it interesting that the advocates of this type of construction really don't take into account architectural safety and the third world poverty squalider shanty shack look. Let alone the privacy and property rights issue.
Some thing like this could easily be like the Haiti disaster if not like the Walled city of Kowloon, in China.
