Talk:80,000 Hours
|This page was nominated for deletion on 26 January 2014 (UTC). The result of the discussion was keep.

|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:30, 7 January 2014 (UTC) The page now cites several major news organizations that have provided significant coverage of 80,000 Hours. Perhaps we should remove the notability tag now.
- Wikipedia is not a listing of every charity that's been talked about one or twice in the news. I don't see how this is a notable organisation just because a few wiki editors are fans. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 14:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- First, a declaration of potential conflict of interest: I am a former employee of 80,000 Hours, and I am currently employed by the Centre for Effective Altruism, the organisation that contains 80,000 Hours. However I have not worked for 80,000 Hours for several months, and was not asked to contribute to this talk page. The reason I am engaging in this conversation is because as a former employee of 80,000 Hours I know of several articles about 80,000 Hours that have not been considered when weighing up its notability. Second, I have not engaged in a deletion discussion before, though I have been editing wikipedia for many years, so please let me know if I am not engaging with this discussion in the correct manner.
- You have argued that this article is not notable. WP:N states "The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it". Thus I hope that by listing a number of independent sources which have written about 80,000 Hours I will counter your claim. The following sources have written independently either about 80,000 Hours or about earning-to-give, an idea that 80,000 Hours first popularised. All of these sources directly mention 80,000 Hours. Note that I have copied this list from here:
- TED talk: Peter Singer: The why and how of effective altruism
- BBC online: Banking 'can be an ethical career choice'
- BBC Radio 4: Today programme with Ian Hislop
- Washington Post: Join Wall Street - Save the World
- Daily Mail: Young professionals joining Wall Street save world
- CNBC: Wall Street Saves the World!
- NPR: Want to give back? Get a job on Wall Street

- Euromoney: Impact Investing: the big business of small donors
- Third Sector: Banking can be more ethical than the voluntary sector, says Oxford academic
- Africa Development and Politics: Who does more for development: bankers or 'aid workers'?
- Ethics in Public and Professional Life: Banker vs. Aid Worker
- High Flying Ladies: Doing good by getting rich
- Desert News: Are you underemployed? Here's how you can improve your job prospects
- National Review: Rise of the Singerians
- According to WP:AUD "Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability." Thus I would argue that 80,000 Hours is "notable" by Wikipedia's standards. Niel.Bowerman (talk) 16:35, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Note that some of this articles discuss William MacAskill in more detail than they do 80,000 Hours, however the article William MacAskill was previously merged with 80,000 Hours. Thus if people think that these articles are evidence of notability for William MacAskill and not 80,000 Hours then perhaps these articles should be un-merged in future? (Note that I am not proposing this, I am simply explaining why these articles are listed above).
- I have not removed the notability flag myself due to the potential conflict of interest, however if others find the above argument convincing then I would be in favour of removing the notability flag? Niel.Bowerman (talk) 16:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- I have tried to add some of the above media references to the article, however I could not find any obviously unsubstantiated statements in the article that could be referenced to any of the above articles. After reading WP:NOTABILITY I have concluded that this is OK, and the article is still notable. In particular WP:NOTABILITY states "Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article... if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability." Also, because the question of notability and deletion seem so inter-related I am assuming that I should be copy-and-pasting my comments in both sections, but please let me know if that is not the case. Thanks, Niel.Bowerman (talk) 17:11, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Edits by the organisation[edit]
I see that user Sir Paul has been editing this article, but works for the charity in question. Wikipedia is not a listing or directory for every charity to advertise themselves. Please refrain from further edits. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:35, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't understand your complaint. I do work for 80,000 Hours, as I indicate on my Wikipedia page, but I am a long-term Wikipedia editor with thousands of edits under my name. I remind you that assuming good faith is a fundamental principle of Wikipedia. Moreover, my recent edits simply consisted in correcting typos and a factually incorrect statement (I invite readers to take a look at the history page and check this for themselves). If you think this counts as an "advertisement" of 80,000 Hours, please explain why. In the meantime, I'm reverting to my most recent version. Sir Paul (talk) 06:21, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- I also note that most of my edits to this article were made before I started working for the organization, and reflect my general interest in effective altruism and related topics. I encourage anyone to visit my profile page and check the list of articles I have contributed to. Sir Paul (talk) 00:39, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Love mushrooms with sherry. I did add fresh sliced shittake mushrooms and fresh thyme. Thanks!
This is delicious! And so easy to put together. I served them over some fresh pasta as a side to pork. Love the nuttiness the sherry gives the mushrooms. Made for ZWT8.
DEElicious... I used baby bellas and they were yummy. These mushrooms would be awesome on top of big juicy steak. We will be having these often because we love mushrooms and these are great.
Very nice Cookgirl. I used field mushrooms and made one little addition - some freshly chopped thyme. Served alongside Danish meatballs and noodles.

Killer heels! The shocking 3D scan that shows how stilettos cause unsightly clawed toes, knobbly bunions and even ARTHRITIS
- Stilettos push and twists bones out of line, often causing permanent damage
The first 3D scan of a female foot in high heels has highlighted the painful price fashion-conscious women may pay for tottering around in towering Christian Louboutins or Jimmy Choos.
Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Andy Goldberg says all the body weight gets forced on to the front of the feet, eventually causing unsightly clawed toes that can become arthritic.
Wearing stilettos pushes and twists bones out of line, resulting in knobbly bunions and other painful conditions.
The picture above was taken with a new £200,000 scanner at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, North London. The PedCAT machine, the first of its kind in the UK, does a 360-degree scan of the patient's feet in just 60 seconds.
Doctors can then view the resultant 3D image from every angle, spinning it around to view the foot from above, below and the side. It also takes 600 2D views of the foot.
Mr Goldberg, a foot and ankle specialist, said the technology was a major advance over traditional 2D X-rays, which could lead to misdiagnoses. 'The scanner gives us much more information,' he said.
'It shows the deformity caused by wearing high heels is much more complicated than we previously thought.
'With high heels, the toes are squashed inside the shoe. The more stiletto-shaped they are, the worse it is. The toes not only get squashed, but they become clawed too.'
The base of the big toe becomes 'deviated outwards', forming a bunion, while the scanner also shows how these bones can become 'rotated and dropped'.
Pea-shaped bones under the base of the big toe – called sesamoids – get dislodged by the immense pressures put on them.
Mr Goldberg added: 'There's nothing wrong with being in this high heel position temporarily – it forms a part of your normal stride. And if you wear heels for an hour or two at an evening party, it's not a problem.
'But if you wear them for eight hours a day for years on end, you will develop problems.'
It wasn't just middle-aged women who suffered, he said. 'It's not uncommon for me to see teenage girls in my clinic. They are usually accompanied by their mothers, who tell them, "Look, the doctor says you should be wearing sensible shoes!" But I try not to get involved with family politics too much.'
Most of these younger patients had to a degree inherited their foot problems, he said. 'If you have got a family history of high heel wearers and you wear them a lot, you are pretty much guaranteed to develop bunions,' he said. 'If you are not genetically predisposed, wearing high heels may accelerate bunions.'
Standing tall: Victoria Beckham, left, and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley, right, in towering heels
Mr Goldberg warns foot pain can be debilitating. 'Foot and ankle problems affect your walking and take over your life. There's a saying that if you want to take someone's mind off a problem, put them in tight shoes.'
A survey of patients at the hospital's foot and ankle clinic found that 57 per cent had experienced severe pain as a result of wearing uncomfortable shoes such as high heels.
And 86 per cent claimed they found it difficult finding comfortable shoes. In truth, the internet is now awash with firms which offer sensible footwear in fashionable shades.
Mr Goldberg added: 'People don't like doctors like me saying, "Your shoes are a problem." If I suggest they buy themselves some comfy shoes, I'm liable to get punched in the face.'
He claimed some patients exaggerated the pain their bunions caused to get them surgically removed – so they could then continue to squeeze their feet into fashionable shoes.
Mr Goldberg said the damage caused by high heels was nothing new: 'We have always been slaves to fashions that have led to deformity.
'But what we should be doing is fitting people's shoes around their feet, rather than the other way around.
'If a fashion icon such as Victoria Beckham designed a range of shoes that really fitted our feet, then that would be a real game-changer.'

Historical Traveler Reviews Zamas Tulum
We Always Enjoy Zamas
Love this place. This is where we go to get away from Playa del Carmen...when we need a break. Although we only go for a night or two at a time, I find it to be a lovely place with good food and nice people.
A little over-rated
We stayed here in Summer 2003 during a small tropical storm and found that the thatched roof of our unit was covered in at least 1/4 inch of mold, the rain poured in under the doorway, rust lined the sink, the shower consisted of a tiny stream of water due to minerals caked around the fixtures and the cold water handle nearly fell off, the towels were old and the sheets on the bed were wet. We decided to leave before our prepaid stay was completed and the management later refunded our money which I had not expected. I think this place must seem fine in sunny weather but I would suggest that the positive comments are overstated at best. Perhaps nothing else could meet our expectations after a fantastic stay at Hotel Secreto on Isla Mujeres during this same vacation but we had found Hotel Mayaland at Chichen Itza and Hacienda Uxmal to be very comfortable.
I recently stayed at Zamas for one night in a garden-view room, and was charmed by the playfully decorated rooms - lots of colorful tile. The restaurant had wonderful food, with a nice view of the water, and everyone I encountered was very friendly.
I agree with other posters, however, that the beach was small, rocky and not really suitable for swimming. It might have been the weather, but our room became almost unbearably hot during the night, and the room does not have a fan.
Mixed Feelings
We stayed 11 nights at Zamas in February 2003. We had a garden view room across the road, and at night it was very warm, even with windows open for a cross breeze (perhaps the beachfront would be cooler?). The beach was just OK and there was too much wave action for snorkeling. The food was good at Que Fresco, but a little TOO lively for us looking for quiet evenings; fortunately there are many other good restaurants within walking distance. The owner was a snob, one of the restaurant's "hosts" who also sells his jewelry was extremely crabby, but Leticia was a gracious hostess and very helpful. I would give Zamas a mixed review and probably would stay at one of the other establishments in the area before booking there again.
Nice Cabanas, but the beach?
I just returned from a trip to the Tulum area, and I spent some time at Zamas while I was there. This was the only place that we reserved before leaving for our trip, and it was very easy to make the reservation, just email them. We had a garden view cabana, which was very nice and a much better deal than the beachfront. We didn't have to cross a road to get to the beach like some have said. The beach cabanas might have been better if there was much of a beach at Zamas. It is very tiny, and I can't believe the previous reviewer who said they haid the nicest beach in this stretch. They must not have visited many of the beaches there. We thought Zamas had the worst beach of any of the places we stayed at. This isn't to say that what they do have is an ugly or, just that it feels crowded if there are more than 2 people in the water there, and you can't walk up and down the beach unless you enjoy pacing back and forth between a couple of rocky areas that aren't passable. The restaurant was very good, but it can be pretty pricey. Our favorite places to eat were all in the town of Tulum. After spending a couple of nights at Zamas, I felt that it was a nice enough place, and could have been perfect if it was in a better location with a decent beach. As it was, I didn't like paying more than double to stay there compared to admittedly more rustic options down the road on some extremely nice beaches.
Zamas-phenomenal hospitality
The small resort of Zamas on Boca Paila Road south of Tulum turned out to be a real gem. The staff and it's owner, Daniel McGettigan, were constantly helpful and always friendly. The cabanas are spacious, not toooo rustic, quite clean with great showers. It is the cuisine which really distinguishes the place. The chef at the restaurant, "Que Fresca" has a delft hand with the local fish, produces the best salsa ever, and even has a brick pizza oven a la Wolfgang Puck! The fish tacos are not to be missed: char broiled filets of fresh grouper with the usual trimmings over fresh tortillas. This beach is the best I saw along this road. And the weather was perfect for my stay 4/29/03-5/5/03.
Zamas is great
I've just returned from a vacation in the Yucatan, of which 6 nights were spent at Zamas. What a wonderful place and staff. My visit there was an unmitigated pleasure.I was impressed not only with the quality of food at Que Fresca! but also with how friendly and hepful the wait people were. Their facility with English was much appreciated during the first few days as I was regaining my familiarity with Spanish, and they were always great about answering my questions on how to pronouce various words. Letitica especially was a delight. She was lively, friendly, informed, immensely helpful - and lots of fun to talk to.I appreciated the cabana designs - even more so after I stayed some other places in the Yucatan - the hammocks, the porch, the wooden windows that could be opened for the evening breeze - we even took pictures of the bathroom we liked it so much. Other appreciated touches were the wooden chairs on the beach (which I like much better than "lounge" chairs), the room staff making everything look inviting and pretty, and the ease with which one could meet other folks or get space from them depending on what you wanted.Zamas set the bar for the other places we stayed, and sad to say, no other places in the Yucatan measured up, and that included resort places like Capitan LaFitte.In terms of the friendliness and efficiency of the staff, the accomodations and the ease and comfort of being in a place, Zamas was nirvana.
Beyond all dreams
what can one say but that Zamas ,after ten years ,is still the most beautiful and best kept secret in Tulum! the restaurant has been reviewed worldwide as the one of the ten best that the entire Yucatan has to offer and more! consistently good food, sometimes great, and, without a doubt, the friendliess staff in all of Tulum. there is nothing to say needs improvement ,here ,other than the weather is unpredictable ,and, be prepared for a wonderful, delicious and relaxing rest. even the music played is almost too good. what variety and the whole ambience is so inviting and fun.. go to Tulum and visit Zamas youll never forget it. i havent. its not unusual that people go back again and again....
Extremely unwelcoming place!
After reading many very positive reviews of Zamas, I was very eager to book a cabana for a recent visit to Tulum. I sent an email but never received a response. I called the number on the homepage twice. Both times a child answered the phone and took a message- I never received a call back. (This all ended up to be a blessing in disguise because we ended staying at Cabanas Copal and I could not have hoped for a more rustically enchanting place.) Despite the unprofessional reservation system, I still wanted to try dinner at Zamas. However when we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by the most unwelcoming host, rivaling those of the snobbiest restraurants in NY. It was even more of a shock since EVERYONE we had encountered in Tulum until then had been so friendly. He was such a jerk that we just left. I am sure that the food there is as good as they say, but why deal with that kind of attitude when there are so many other wonderful places to eat in Tulum? Clearly all the good reviews have gone to their heads.
Don't tell anyone
I am really afraid to write a review for this place, because, I don't want it to change... It may not be for everyone, but if you want a beautiful place a little bit out of the way(no electricity, but solar lights and running water)this is a magical place...the beach is beautiful, the restaurant has consistently fabulous food...rooms were large and charmingly decorated and, if that's not enough, every afternoon, our fresh towels were folded into swans! The mosquito netting had no holes in it and every cabana has a hammock for each occupant...but, you probably wouldn't like it, there would be too many bugs for you and you have to use bottled water(they have big bottles in each room)and I'm sure you would miss your hairdryer and your TV and would be bored swinging in your hammock each evening listening to the sounds of the nearby surf...don't go.

... around 40 metres deep. Everything we had heard about the awesomeness of diving in a cenote was true and then some. The eerie stillness was unsettling as we made our descent. Somewhere around 30m we hit a hydocline of sodium chloride (?) which made our vision blur as we tried to distinguish if it was the water or nitro narcosis; glimpsing up the chemical seemed to create a ceiling.

Oracle Applications Cloud Release 10 UX highlights: Enhancing your cloud through extensibility
By Mvaughan-Oracle on Oct 25, 2015
We want you to be able to run your business your way, including making your Oracle Applications Cloud look like your business. Changing the user experience to reflect your business needs is easier than ever with Oracle's modern cloud extensibility tools. These tools are tools designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind.
Our goal is to increase your users' participation through a familiar and relevant experience, deliver tailored productivity to your employees, and extend the value of your cloud. We've covered how the extensibility features have evolved, from Release 7 to Release 8 to Release 9, and we'll show you below how these imperatives translate to the extensibility features of the Oracle Applications Cloud Release 10.
The key takeaways in Release 10 Cloud User Experience Extensibility:
- Even more visual design options, in a friendly UI
- Even more options for organizing the UI
- A seamless way to add what is unique for your business or industry with our user interface developer toolkit and Page Integration
Appearance: See the difference
Visual design is an integral part of the Oracle Applications Cloud user experience, so we've paid particular attention to it in Release 10. Now it's even easier to configure your cloud visual design to match your branding and identity for a consistent user experience.
Customers now have more options for matching your business's color scheme and logo in Appearance.
Administrators have more flexibility to define the logo, the background, and the color scheme according to your branding using either files or URLs. There are 6 different homepage icon styles delivered out-of-the-box. There are 8 different themes, or color and style combinations, delivered out-of-the-box. But we know that sometimes that is not enough; you can make an almost infinite number of changes to tailor the visual style for your users. You can even modify button colors and add corner rounding.
You'll recognize flat dark, flat light, matte, rich, and shiny icon styles from previous releases, but the dot style is new.
Oracle has also enhanced general usability and provided some updated visuals in Release 10, such as icon style. The icon styles are the same, but they have received a different visual treatment. Can't decide? Save all your themes for later use. You can now exactly match your organization's color palette to enforce consistency across applications because modifying the logo or color schemes applies the changes everywhere.
Streamline your layout in Structure
Structure helps
you configure the layout of the user experience for consistency with
your business requirements. You have the ability to drill down into
landing pages and make edits to the pages, hide or unhide applications
to streamline user roles, reorder applications, create new page entries
or categories, and set system options.
Admins have the power to create and edit landing pages, hide, expose, or re-sequence items, and move them to other categories to streamline user roles for convenience.
Protecting Your Cloud
of these features would be useless without the protection of sandboxes.
We've made it easier not only to configure the applications but also to
make and test changes before pushing them live. The administrator must
deploy a sandbox session to make any changes. The new sandbox header
appears on every UI where configuration changes are being applied, so
those changes are metadata-store-enabled (MDS-enabled) and upgrade- and patch-proof.
What's unique to your business, industry: Designing your own user interface
We know there are pieces of functionality you want that are custom to your business and industry. You also want them to look and feel like the rest of your cloud. Page Integration
lets administrators add a new page containing an iframe. This
allows external applications to be integrated seamlessly into the
Oracle Applications Cloud, creating a consistent user experience.
Administrators can conveniently manage all new pages from a single
Bridging the gap between the Oracle Applications Cloud and a third-party application couldn't be easier with Page Integration, which seamlessly loops in external applications.
You have so many
new options for icons in Release 10. An administrator can easily select
one that feels intuitive and best fits your needs from the included
icon library to ensure a consistent user experience.
This is an example of editing a landing page icon for your integrated application.
Partners can seamlessly integrate their PaaS-deployed applications that emulate the Oracle Applications Cloud user experience through Page Integration. You can select from the Oracle Marketplace or design your own. The Oracle cloud user experience strategy has included a toolkit for just this need since release 8, and now it's being updated for Release 10. Sketch the user interface in an hour using our tools, get the buy-off you need, then use the pre-packaged tools to build it and deploy it.
Improve support with Record Issue
This is an example of navigation to Troubleshooting: Record Issue in the Oracle Applications Cloud, which can help you keep records of problems relayed by your help desk.
Improve your support ticket accuracy, help shorten issue time, and reduce support costs with a feature called Record Issue. Organizations working with Oracle Support or managing their internal help desks can use Record Issue to help reproduce and document any errors or performance issues.
Administrators can collect page diagnostics and performance statistics from the Oracle Applications Cloud, and recordings can be configured to focus on selected modules with various levels of detail.
Pulling it all together
Of course, you could use the Oracle Applications Cloud right out of the box. But we know customers must continually find ways to differentiate themselves, internally and externally. In Release 10, we're offering you tools in Appearance, Structure, and Page Integration to grow a familiar user experience organically, to keep the focus on what makes you unique, and to safeguard the value of your cloud. Since it's so easy for you and powerful for your employees, the latest features make extensibility a must for meeting your business needs with the Oracle Applications Cloud.

We recently stayed at the Portland Harbor Hotel for a quick getaway to enjoy the Old Port during this unseasonably warm winter. The Old Port has so much going for it, outstanding dining, many wonderful cafe's, unique shops and the Portland Harbor Hotel is right in the heart of it all. Our room was one of the jacuzzi suites which over looks the courtyard/garden.
The Positives:
It was a very well appointed room, with the bathroom being the star of the show featuring a 2 person jacuzzi and separate marble shower. They even have a speaker in the bathroom so you can have music as you wash away the day.
We loved the car service to drive us to dinner and pick us up. It allowed us to have a few more drinks with no worries about driving.
Both of the concierges we spoke with were very helpful. They are very much in tune with what's popular and getting good reviews. They will not try to steer you to some tourist trap unless that's what you want.
The Negatives:
The valet staff are clearly understaffed and need a refresher on basic service. No one came around to open my wife's door. The valets are also the ones that drive the shuttle, so you could be in for a long wait.
The rooms feature a cheap laminate style wood flooring. This flooring does create lots of noise and you will hear sounds from the room above.
The walls appear to be rather thin as you will hear a good amount of hallway noise. Hopefully you won't be awoken during the middle of the night by your neighbors in the throes of passion like we were. I thought we were staying next to Meg Ryan's character from When Harry met Sally.
They speak of a wonderful turndown service but they never came to our room.
When we mentioned these issues to the staff the next day at checkout, though they apologized, they made no effort to make us whole. They just hope that we'll return to try again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Portland's only AAA rated 4 diamond hotel. Amenities include a 4 Star restaurant with available 24 hour room service, 24 hour valet services, spa treatment rooms, professionally certified concierge service, and full fitness center. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Priceline, TravelClick, Orbitz, Odigeo and Agoda so you can book your Portland Harbor Hotel reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

FIRST@108: Public Art Award
FIRST@108 is a unique biennial award designed to offer sculptors an opportunity to extend their practice into competing for public art commissions.
For the first time, the RBS is partnering with CW+ (the charity for Chelsea and Westminster Hospital) to deliver the 2015 award, providing the opportunity for one outstanding sculptor to create new work for this prestigious London hospital and gain a track record in the highly competitive field of public art.
Following an open call for submissions, five sculptors - Tabatha Andrews, Sadie Brockbank, Stathis Dimitriadis, Mark Doyle and Briony Marshall were selected to develop responses on the fascinating theme of Memory with the ambition of stimulating and engaging elderly people with dementia who are being cared for at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
Tabatha Andrews was chosen as the winner for her exciting multi functional and sensory proposal. Over the next few months Andrews will work with patients to gain inspiration for her sculptures which will be sited in the Edgar Horne Ward and a busy public space in the hospital this year.
The RBS will also exhibit a selection of Andrews sculptures in the RBS galleries. Altered States: an exhibition exploring perception and sensory interpretation through immersive installation and sculptural form will run from 9 June - 27 August 2016.
The RBS would like to acknowledge the parnership with CW+ and the generous support of the Mirisch & Lebenheim Foundation for making this award possible.

Product Description
The standout cuts on this follow-up to Kathleen Edwards's highly praised debut, Failure, serve notice that the Canadian artist has no intention of remaining a cult favorite in the States. The opening "In State" evokes the anthem-like sweep of Tom Petty's "Refugee," complete with signature organ by the Heartbreakers' Benmont Tench, though its lyric of a prison-bound paramour smacks of déjà vu, Failure having opened with a similar narrative. The propulsive title track, with its irresistible double-entendre hook, deserves to be Edwards's breakthrough hit, while the yearning "Old Time Sake" and the buoyant yet bittersweet "Summerlong" expose a disarming tenderness underlying her tough-chick bravado. Over the course of the album, too much of the midtempo material sounds too much the same, more inspired lyrically than musically, failing to sustain the momentum of the opening tracks. The stripped-down intimacy of "Away" will likely rekindle comparisons to Lucinda Williams, but this artist sounds eager to outgrow those. --Don McLeese

Her songwriting remains sharp and melodic, exhibiting a Neil Young-like ability to write concise, flowing lyrics and express deep emotions via simple, effective melodies. Her singing, however, has taken especially great strides. Playing and singing live for the past year has done wonders for her technique, for her pitch is more accurate, her phrasing more engaging, and her timbre far more rich than before. Instrumentally she gathers yet another great band, this one spearheaded by one of Canada's great guitarists, Colin Cripps (formerly of Crash Vegas, now married to Edwards, and also the producer on this record), whose expansive, ringing tones and innovative parts add immensely to Edwards' palette. Like Jon Brion, Cripps has a knack for playing unusual yet perfectly comfortable parts within simple songs, augmenting but never interfering with the central melody or the vocals. Witness rock-out title track "Back to Me", where the electric guitar brilliantly emulates a fiddle, the simple, wailing slide guitar on "What Are You Waiting For?", and the guitar-as-string-section chimes of "Somewhere Else".
But as great the sonic backdrop is, Edwards remains the star, with a voice that's lonely, optimistic, worldly and vulnerable at the same time. Lead track "In State"'s restrained croon is magnetic, married to a gently insistent beat and Cripps' slithering guitar lines; the Byrds-like 12-string guitars and gentle balladry of "Summerlong" are seductive; "Copied Keys" mines one of Edwards' (and Neil Young's) favourite themes, wanderlust, backed by a naked, picked acoustic guitar line and elemental string and slide parts; "What Are You Waiting For?" is the best uptempo track, with its heartbroken guitar hook and Edwards' soulful singing. But the best track, hands down, is "Pink Emerson Radio", a spacious ballad where Edwards' voice is simply angelic, hitting a wrenching high range she's never explored, and a sad melody that cuts straight to the heart. The song also features her best lyrics to date, a collage of imagery linked by the heartbreak of abandonment -- easily the best entry in Edwards' already impressive songbook.
If you liked Failer, you're likely to have grabbed this record already without having heard a note. This record is essential listening for anyone interested in rock, folk, or country styles; even if you're not, give it a chance and you'll find some of the most emotionally resonant songwriting, singing and playing around.
The album starts very strong with back to back rockers, then suffers its only missteps with "Pink Emerson Radio" and the too-precious "Independent Thief." Press on, listener! The weary tales of "Old Time Sake" and the hopeful "Summerlong" get things moving again, "What Are You Waiting For?" is a rollicking taunt, and "Away" is a beauty of a ballad.
This album features an incredibly strong closing trifecta. Leading off with the only non-Edwards song on the album, "Somewhere Else," we move to the record's standout, "Copied Keys," which finds Kathleen musing on the pain of moving to a new place for love and feeling like a tagalong to someone else's life, backed by a trembling guitar that somehow fits the emotions of the song perfectly. Closer "Good Things" sounds upbeat and carries a positive message, but ends the album with a broken heart.
If you haven't listened to Edwards before, buy this or Failer and try her out. And if you liked Failer, you'll like this, too. Give it a little time to grow on you!
The CD starts off strong with the track entitled "In State." This is then followed by the very self-assured title track "Back To Me." Wow, this title track is powerful! I love these great lyrics: "I've got ways to make you sing my songs/Ones I ain't written yet/I've got lights you've never seen/I've got moves I've never used/I've got ways to make you come/Back to me." The musical arrangement here is strong to support her statement and it is equally well written. At the other end of the spectrum are two songs, "Independent Thief," and "Away" deal with incredible heartache and deeply wounded feelings.
Edwards is supremely talented; I own all her CDs (there's a third "live" CD already out even though Amazon and others sometimes mistake this for a "sophomore" CD). Kathleen's voice always feels so welcome and beautiful to my ears, just like that of a special confidant I can really trust. Her honestly, raw emotion, natural power and compelling spirit always make for a superb album. I ache for more from this woman and this CD will hook you for sure! The quality of the sound is great so you can really hear how well Kathleen emotes to her audience. On this CD Kathleen truly reaches out as she has before. I find her to be refreshingly honest about what are actually common human emotions and experiences on this CD. This is a great CD to get if you're new to Edwards' work-and a must have if you're already a fan like I am!
While almost all the lazy writers in the music business have compared Edwards to Lucinda Williams because it's an abbreviated way to highlight similarities they share--a girl's beauty, an edgy toughness and, of course, electric guitars--neither songwriter quite deserves it. Edwards' output has an organic quality Williams simply can't touch. You'll hear sharp distinctions between guitar and bass, for instance, whenever and wherever Williams plays. Edwards, though, manages to blur instrumental lines until the mix is whole and even intimate, giving "Back To Me" an almost nostalgic flavor reminiscent of some of the best progressive country and folk rock soundscapes of the 1970s. Jackson Browne's "Late For The Sky" may come to mind should listeners find themselves in some of Edwards' lonelier spaces.
Edwards also carries a soft voice through several hard tunes. That's not easy to do. "In State" is where she chews out some guy for acting a little too cavalier, for trying to grease his wheels too liberally, and like any woman worth the trouble, Edwards slices off the choice words even the toughest buzzards are loath to hear: "You wouldn't even be yourself if you wern't telling a lie." It wouldn't hurt so much if her voice wasn't so pretty.
And "Pink Emerson Radio"? That one sent a wind blowing through the drapes of a certain past I barely remember and right up my spine. I've been in old houses just like the song sounds. I've caught girlfriends, too, when they're alone and contemplating little trinkets that mean so much to them, many of which, of course, had nothing at all to do with me. But it's alright. I've treasured a couple of things.
Strong lyrics, never forced or trite, build through every song--without any of the flashiness or ostentatiousness some of the more "Nashvillian" rockers push on their crowds because the authenticity didn't come through when it was supposed to. Moods change, in an Edwards song, the band sometimes kicks in like a rattling freight train just starting to move, heavy on a trestle, but always because Edwards obviously has been allowed to remain close to her music, and to the sound in her head. Far too much music in today's declining sales climate has been drained of such qualities. Edwards, however, is part of a quietly growing movement which may eventually inject a little reality into a country music world that's starting to flirt with the emblems of hip-hop of all things. But the bling of Kathleen Edwards is in her heart. Even if she's not from Texas. God bless her.
The biggest problem with Edwards' debut album, Failer was the prevelance of grunge guitars which tended to drown out her sweet soprano voice. However, this album managed to find its way around that problem with better production, a stronger voice and a much more stripped instrumental sound. The first of these solutions is represented by In State, a song that serves as a prequel to "6 O'Clock News," but in which the producer definately prsently her vocals in a much different and more pleasing manner. The second is showcased by a stunning vocal performance in "Independant Theif" which finds Edward's stomping and snorting in rare form. However, it is the final solution that makes up most of the album, and which makes the album so wonderful. No longer hidden behind the grungy riffs of "Maria" Edwards is able to find new emotional nuances on songs like Summerlong and Good Things.
A step forward in maturity and musicality, Kathleen Edwards managed to avoid the Sophomore Slump by improving on an already standout debut album

AOOA (The Telephone)...short, yet moody and evocative point-and-click puzzle. (If it's too short and leaves you wanting more, how about trying Magneto Syndrome? It's another short yet interesting sci-fi point-and-click/escape puzzle.) (note: flash)
Seeds of Imagination
Seeds of Imagination operates on the premise that talking (er, typing) to your plants encourages interesting growth. Try: sun, water, love, happy, fruit, etc. If a word is recognized, you will see it float up toward your plant. If not, it just disappears without a trace. You may also change the color of parts of the plant by typing in colors. (note: Flash, subtle ad)
Bonobo's Bongos
Bonobo's Bongos (note: Shockwave)
drifts... move the red bubble with your mouse cursor. do not touch the purple bubbles! collect the green bubbles! touch the blue bubbles to turn green bubbles into points. you need at least three green bubbles to earn a point. collect more than 3 bubbles for bonus points! (note: flash)
non-sequitur gaming
连环梦... (aka Kawa) "It might be an exit; It might be a trap; It might be just a dream." 连环梦 is a surreal point-and-click maze/puzzle from China, full of twists and unexpected turns. (note: flash)

Don Pixel is a collection of little diversionary flash games, like Light Brigade, Zelda : The Collecting of Pills (a mashup of pacman and zelda), and Hapland, a sort of samorost clone. All in flash or shockwave. Something for everyone.

Jeopardy search goes on-line. I imagine half of MeFiers imagine have Jeopardy wet-dreams. Now the hunt for new contestants is being screened on-line (under Jeopardy news). Not the same as Jeopardy online. Are we all obsessed with Alex Trebek?
The Great Escape
La Fuga - "The Escape" - can be found inside an old bank in Madrid. A "live immersive gaming" experience, its players try to "escape" equipped only with a networked PDA and their wits. Think of it as a cross between the Tactile Dome and The Game, with a bit of Myst and a dash of Cube mixed in.
Hint: Did you shoot the puppy? Then don't do that again.
Don't Shoot the Puppy. RRRRThats5Rs, maker of truly pointless games, has made the opposite of every shoot-em-up on the Internet. (Warning, the "truly pointless" link, like many games on the site, is a total waste of time.)
Mono wants you to have a seizure. Fast paced 2D shoot-em-up where your goal is to paint the screen white (or black) by shooting aggressive blobs of red, blue and green. (Free downloadable exe) [More Inside]
Which Way Adventure
Which Way Adventure, a weird-ass choose-your-own-adventure-type "game" with several different endings and some manticores. A few scenes are not safe for work. The other game on the site, Hunter of Vampires, is completely different in that it's cute, it appears to have a point, and it has a gizmo to toggle the sound off. (Both in Flash.)
Flow in Games
Flow in Games: a Jenova Chen MFA thesis
'This site is currently focused on Jenova's MFA thesis research. It is about inventing new methodologies usable by the frontline game designers to help realizing dynamic flow experiences for different individuals and more importantly for potential gamers who are still out of the current video game market.'

Turbo Tanks Game
Turbo Tanks is a vector graphics based Flash game where you control one tank vs another from a top down view, using ammunition that ricochets a lot. Each tank can sustain ten hits from live ammo, and each level has shifting obstacles (the "buildings" in the way for the ammo to bounce off of) so a good strategy is to catch your opponent in a heavy collision alley and unleash your entire weapon stock at once). Massive nerds will be reminded of Armor Attack for the Vectrex.
Cityscape puzzle game (Flash)
Cityscape. (Flash game) Build a city with 18 available components. The order in which those components are employed determines how they'll interact and how far the city will develop. There's one correct order that will score the full amount of points. (via)
Itchana Tchones
Itchana Tchones resembles-but-is-legally-distinct-from a certain beloved adventurer whom you may remember from a certain series of copyrighted movies. The first few games in which he stars are in French (and a little on the primitive side), but the gameplay is simple enough: Arrow keys to move, jump, and duck, spacebar to attack with the whip. The latest game in the series, Alien Wars, can be played in English. Lovely squishy little blood spurts, among other things, when death ensues. (Flash.)
Oscars moments
The Oscars don't only breed argument about who should have won--but also about the speeches? Were they good? Did they suck? What are the classics? What's Memorable? What's Misquoted? How would your speech go? Would you thank your "makeup man"? Oprah? Complain? Or just go crazy? And here are some more top ones (1,2,3) and another bottom. And Oscar Night bingo in case it all gets to be too much, too boring or too damn long.
Domino Pressure
If the high scores are to be believed, there are at least 400 (random) levels in Domino Pressure. The object: Figure out which domino is the one which, when tipped, will knock over all the other dominoes before squishing the tomato. For every domino you leave standing, you lose precious seconds to complete the next level. The secret seems to be to work your way backwards from the tomato; you can skip up to three levels.
Escape To Obion
More point-n-click Flash puzzles, this time in a series: Escape to Obion, episodes one, two, three, and four.

Inspector Wombat
Inspector Wombat, a point-and-click Flash puzzle game somewhat clumsily translated from the German. Inspector Wombat has a seemingly-bottomless sack in which to store all the random crap he picks up, like banana peels, his lady friend's stereo system (dude, she's standing right there. Ever try asking?), and tasty foodstuffs somebody left in the street. Your object is twofold: Find and apprehend the kooky blackmailer who's messing with the museum director, and fix the museum's paintings which have mysteriously gone all wonky (hint: it's because of evil, unhappy bacteria).

Bouncin' Bop, episodes one, two, three, four, and five. Cute little Flash game in which you control Bop, a happy smilin' rubber ball that ever bounces. Collect coins and don't touch the monsters, lest Bop join the Choir Invisible.
Pornographic internet game draws angers parents
The promotional game for an upcoming movie has drawn the ire of the National Institute on Media and the Family and some Twin Cities parents for having graphic sex scenes (in which "You literally engage in oral sex as a player of the game") that are easily accessibly to children by lying about your age.
The Immortal Game
The Immortal Game between Anderssen and Kieseritzsky is, by some, "considered to be perhaps the most entertaining game of chess ever played". Now, 155 years later, you can enjoy the interactive version, the many many commentaries , and even buy the movie.

"Under every forest there is a lawn."
McDonald's: The Videogame. A scathing critique of lousy corporate and environmental practices, or an entertainingly complex little game about the fast food industry? A little from column A, a little from column B. Torch diseased cows with the flamethrower, corrupt politicians and environmentalists, plant genetically modified soy in what used to be the rain forests of South America, force your employees to smile all the livelong day, and try not to bankrupt the company. Be sure to read the tutorial first. (Flash.)
Attic Escape
Attic Escape is another little "escape the locked room" Flash game along the lines of Crimson Room, Viridian Room, White Chamber, The Doors, and MOTAS. Also by the creator of Attic Escape are Nightmare Escape and, er, Cannibal Escape (which is worth clicking for the lovely, cello-heavy strings music if nothing else). Click everywhere in Attic Escape; important items are hidden behind, above, and under everything.
Your clan was annihilated, now you're out for revenge. You are Ninjaman. Pretty awesome little 2D side-scrolling Flash game; the trailer (.mov) gives you an idea of the gameplay. Oh, and you can customize the keyboard controls in "Options." Possibly the best part is watching your enemies impale their own idiotic selves on spiky traps.
State of the Union Drinking Game Its that time of year again, and it seems to get bigger (and more partisan) each time. Now Kos has one, as does Arianna Huffington. Here's another, and another.(previous)
It takes a long time to load, but Kol-Belov's "PU's_tota" is just so creepy and bizarre and awesome with really cool music. The artist is obviously deeply weird, also highlighted in the series of shorts, "Self-Destructing Organisms." There's also a game. These are Flash animations. Nearly all of them contain a modest amount of cartoon violence/gore; may not be safe for work. Also, the guy really loves his industrial music.
The Punny Adventures of Nick Bounty
A Case of the Crabs, and its sequel, The Goat in the Grey Fedora, are a couple of point-and-click black-and-white Flash games that parody the old Sam Spade-type noir films. You are Nick Bounty, private detective, and it's up to you to solve the mysteries of the counterfeit crabs and the miniature goat statue, respectively. Very, very jokey; guaranteed to induce eyerolling. Look at everything, talk to everyone, and pick up everything that's not nailed down. Hints are available, but they're crammed with jokes too.
I can't talk now, I'm playing video games on the internet
Triglav. It's fun, it's gorgeous, it's PC and Internet Explorer only. It's also unstable as all hell, so play career mode unless you don't mind restarting your whole game frustratingly often. DHTML gaming at its finest. (from the always excellent jayisgames, which is having a fantastic week). Triglav was previously mentioned but was as of then unfinished. If you're already hip to it, play meteor busters instead.
The Flowering Nose in Slugland
The Flowering Nose in Slugland adventure game. As a goblin with a flower for a nose, your ultimate goal is to find the lost sprout. Defeat enemies by throwing flowers at them; power up with hearts; teleport from level to level with such esoteric trinkets as donuts and cherries. (Java.)
The Four Rooms of Kharon
"Someone messed it up bad. The world went to pieces. It was dog eat dog and everyone for himself. Along came an unlikely hero. You....The future can be saved. The knowledge is inside the Four Rooms of Kharon." From the info page: "Kharon 4a is an online adventure game dealing with biotech issues. The makers of the game have worked closely with the Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board during the creative process - to ensure the scientific validity of the game content. So, having played Kharon 4a, you will be left with not only an interesting and entertaining online experience, but you will also be familiar with the most imporant aspects of bio technology." They also warn that it's "the hardest Flash game ever made" and that you'll probably give up after five minutes.

Clean and nice staff. Hotel is run down and needs exterior update
We were here for a two night stay and spent most of the full day at the ocean. Here are the good aspects of the room: Plenty of free parking Free bike and DVD rental Good sized room with comfortable bed Free dvd player in room and good sized flat screen tv Small dresser and closet Free breakfast that isn't just cereal Beautiful view from apparently every room Massaging shower head and great water pressure Couldn't hear our neighbors unless our doors were open Here's the downfalls: No A/C. However, they do provide a fan for each room (which we did not know until we checked out.) The rooms stay a fairly good temperature but a fan would help circulate the air a little better Pillows are uncomfortable. The one thing that they cannot control but to be aware of is the seafood manufacturing plant next door. The smell is fairly strong during the week. You can convince your brain that it's the marina and be fine lol. However, you cannot smell it with the doors closed. This is not a make-it-or-break-it point for us so it shouldn't be for you either - more like a forewarning The staff was excellent, we never got a sour apple in the whole bunch that we talked to, even after checking in at 1a.m. The location was excellent and with the cheap trolley, you could really get anywhere in downtown Astoria without a car. The Bridgewater Bistro is within walking distance and it's absolutely delicious! I would definitely stay here again, fishy smell and all
Very friendly staff, free bicycles, nice view at habor Room was clean but needs updating, furniture showed a lot of wear, bed was ok
Very good breakfast. Beautiful view, especially at night. Definitely would stay again.
Older hotel in great shape. All rooms have balconies that face the river. Great view. DVD player in room and collection of DVDs in the lobby. We watched The Goonies - it was filmed in Astoria. Staff at desk were nice and helpful. Cookies and coffee in the lobby.

text: A certain John Palmer initiated a line of coaching Inns i believe between York, Bath and Bristol towards London ( i'm not 100% sure about the venues). This Pipe comemmorates the Highgate Hill 'branch' and the inaugaration of R Wittington as the 'Thrice Lord Mayor of London' born in 1350/60?. I suspect these pipes were given to travellers who may have stopped at the Highgate Hill Inn on their journeys to and from London as a 'Freebie' or as a promotional or advertising token from the proprietor (John Palmer) as can be seen on the pipe's stem. I know that the coaching inns is historically correct as the post office issued a set of stamps celebrating the anniversary of J Palmer's original plans for this venture. I also have a set of these stamps in my collection.

This annual publication provides major official insurance statistics. The reader will find information on the diverse activities of this industry and on international insurance market trends. The data, which are standardised as far as possible, are broken down under numerous sub-headings, and a series of indicators makes the characteristics of the national markets more readily comprehensible.
The symposium took place on 22-23 January 2015 in Tokyo, Japan, and addressed cutting-edge policy issues and research ideas to promote long-term financial planning through financial education.
English, PDF, 481kb
"Why do financial institutions and investors see so little risk, while companies investing in the real economy see so much risk?" This is perhaps the most important question facing policy makers today. This paper sets out some of the possible hypotheses for lack of investment in the world economy. It uses data drawn from 10 000 global companies in 75 advanced and emerging countries.
This seminar addressed cutting-edge policy issues and research ideas to promote financial inclusion and financial literacy in Asia, notably: national strategies for financial education; financial education and consumer protection; measuring financial literacy; and, financial literacy for micro-entrepreneurs and SMEs.
The 2014 edition of the OECD Pensions Outlook explores the crucial and far-reaching challenges that pension systems are currently facing. This report will be released at a launch event in London on 8 December 2014.
This 2014 edition of the OECD Pensions Outlook examines the ever-changing pensions landscape. It looks at pension reform, the role of private pensions and retirement savings. Population ageing and longevity risk is examined as are the means of increasing coverage and providing automatic enrolment. The volume is rounded out by a chapter on default retirement strategies.
Pension funds and annuity providers need to effectively manage the longevity risk they are exposed to. Individuals receiving a lifetime income may live longer than expected or accounted for in the actuarial calculations to provision for these liabilities. Mismanaged longevity risk can deteriorate finances, cause bankruptcy and expose individuals to the risk of losing their retirement income. To safeguard against this risk, pension funds and annuity providers must provision for future improvements in mortality and life expectancy. The regulatory framework can support the effective management of longevity risk.
This publication assesses how pension funds, annuity providers such as life insurance companies, and the regulatory framework account for future improvements in mortality and life expectancy. The study then examines the mortality tables commonly used by pension funds and annuity providers against several well-known mortality projection models with the purpose of assessing the potential shortfall in provisions. The final part of the publication identifies best practices and discusses the management of longevity risk, putting forward a set of policy options to encourage and facilitate the management of longevity risk.
Low growth, low interest rates and low returns on investment linked to the slow global economy are now compounding the problems of population ageing for both public and private pension systems, according to a new OECD report.
This roadmap identifies elements of good design and public policy to assist countries to strengthen retirement income adequacy in an environment where pension benefits result from assets accumulated during working life.
This database provides free online access to frequently-requested statistics from the OECD pensions statistics database.

great title. Greetings Sig.
Thanks for your visit, Sig!
hi norrel, just saw your posts at don lamonts gallery. so i'm here for a short visit of yours. i like this kind of b&w shots. will add your gallery to my favs to visit you again. have a nice week.
greetings from austria, koery
Hi Koery. Thanks for visiting! Yeah, Don has a cool gallery, quite different from the other stuff you find here. I like it. I've noticed you around here on Panoramio, but I hadn't taken a hike to your pages yet. I'll go there today.
Cheers, Norrel
yep norrel, indeed don has a very cool gallery. i have to agree with you. i like his shots and specially his kind of humor. besides, his gallery is a valuable documentation on his homeland, with its abandoned tumbledown buildings that tell us storys of better days. i value him greatly as a brillant photographer and as "pharao of little egypt" :). have a nice day!
I fully agree on that, Koery! The more deterioration, the more Don seems to like it.
Very Cool Photo, Looks So Good,
Greetings from
And the TIGER NEST OF BHUTAN
Yes - pretty amuzing that my spam photos are attracting the spam gulls, Norrel, isn't it? But it appears other spammers appreciate fine Mountain Music as well!
I'd rather have Spam-fences in this pic than snow-fences, Bits...
NORREL wonderful picture and titel, what musik do you heard in the mountain? perhaps Winter song greetings from Austria Marita
Of course it was yodel music, marita ;>) Thanks for visiting.
Cheers, Norrel
I'm a little teapot!
WOOOOW, this is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved it!!!! favourited and bested of :)
Thanks for your nice comment, Caroline!
Eh... not1word, I've been wondering for 9 days why you are a little teapot. Not a big teapot, but a little teapot. And why a teapot? Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker, so I don't understand the different meanings of "teapot", but it has kept me awake for 9 days by now, so I decided to ask.
I was going to leave you hanging for another nine days, Norrel, but that wouldn't be polite.
I'm referring to a song that schoolchildren learn over here. It's fun the first couple thousand times that you hear it, but it can tend to get a bit old after that. Goggle it for a small taste of which I speak.
Thanks for explaining, not1word. I surely couldn't have stand another nine days wondering. I think every country has songs like this. In my country the beautiful song Potje met vet is very popular. In this little movie you see some traditional Dutch partying, while people sing this song. I need to tell you that I don't know anyone in this movie.
How dare you post a link to such a banal movie starring this incredibly annoying song below a photo featuring such top quality sheet music, Norrel?! The contrast simply is too big... (sorry for interfering yet another conversation on this shot by the way but I couldn't resist running that stupid song down here! :))
Still like the photo though!
You are darn right, T NL! I should be ashamed, but there is nothing left I can do about it. If I would delete my previous posting, people would think you meant the teapot song of not1word, which is actually a very nice song. I'm really sorry about posting my "potje-met-vet" song.
I'm happy that you still like my mountain music.
Photo taken in Fontanella, Austria
