Calling all Pythonistas
Two blog items ago, I mentioned that Ken Starks and I don't talk enough anymore, which is true. So in catching up recently, he informed me that he's got another proverbial iron in another FOSS fire.
It's one that deserves special mention, because it has to do with autism.
Ken blogged recently about a project some folks are doing in Python around getting autistic kids to use a mouse. He notes at the end of his blog that "within 48 hours of this posting, we have a Python developer and several professionals in the autism field who are being pulled together as a DevTeam. We will publish the early team members here by mid-week. Hopefully, we will also have the beginnings of a software map for this project…yet unnamed."
In an e-mail exchange, he asked me to beat the bushes for Python developers who might be interested in this. So that's what I'm doing here — if you know Python and want to contribute to this yet-to-be-named (see below) project, drop Ken a line at helios-at-fixedbylinux-dot-com.
In a later blog post, Ken mentions that they're now looking for a name for the program, meaning that the clock is running on this program, now that there's one coder on board to go with the folks with advanced degrees working with us to begin mapping out this software.
But there's always room for more.

Another win for Open Source.
Smart people needing a place to use their smarts. Open Source.
Wasn't this all covered in some Science Fiction books? Maybe
that is where the seeds of all this started.
Stand next to smart people, you will look better and you might
learn something.

I went to California a couple weeks ago and got to go back to the beach where I used to spend most of my time when I lived there. I used to keep a big trunk in my car with all the books I wanted to read. I would just drive out to Santa Monica and sit in Palisades Park to read under the trees, or I would just go lay out in the sand!
Going back was weirdly less nostalgic than I thought it would be. I mean, of course a lot of memories came back, but I was more surprised at how I seemed to naturally fall back into the swing of things. Driving through traffic, going down the familiar roads was as if I had never left.
California is beautiful, and I really love it there, especially the variety you find with the people. For the most part, though, I was glad to be where I am now and moving toward my goals.

Don't expect a Haylor reunion too soon
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Taylor Swift stopped by "El Hormiguero"in Madrid, Spain, on Wednesday to promote her latest album "Red," so naturally the country singer had to play along and answer a few personal questions, too.
"I don't have a type," Swift said, talking about what kind of guy gets her attention. "I think in our 20's it's like, 'Oh, I guess I'll try hanging out with him, or I'll try hanging out with him, or I'll try being single.'"
The 23-year-old is currently single following her split with One Direction singer Harry Styles, although some people think they might not be completely over for good.
"I think you have to have somebody that's dependable, that isn't going to change their mind every five seconds," Swift said about important characteristics for her to find in a partner. "I think that loyalty is something that's really important in your friends, in your relationships, in your family."
Could the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer be hinting at what led to her and Styles' split? As our sister site omg! U.K. exclusively reported, Styles was in contact with his ex-flame, model Cara Delevingne, while romancing Taylor Swift.
While Swift didn't address Styles specifically during yesterday's sit down she did poke fun at some of the biggest (and false) rumors out there about her.

Trying to cool off from the hot temps
(North Royalton)- Summer has officially arrived in Northeast Ohio, and with it has come a week of warm temperatures.
With that rise in temperature has come an increase in service calls to local heating and cooling companies. Sal Sidoti of Sal's Heating and Cooling in North Royalton estimates that business has increased "200 to 300 percent" in recent weeks.
The intense heat can have adverse effects on health, and Sidoti says there are easy ways to be proactive and beat the summer heat.
"Don't wait to the last minute to turn on your equipment," Sidoti says. "Check on loved ones, especially the elderly."
People concerned about rising energy costs can take simple steps to avoid overworking their air conditioner. Cleaning the coils, as well as removing and obstructions from in front of the air conditioner can keep clean air flowing into the unit.
In addition, regular replacement of the system's filter can keep units working at optimal levels.
"Maintain your equipment yearly, check your filter monthly, and be vigilant," Sidoti recommends.

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- The European Vending Association reports that it again has signed a partnership agreement with AVEX. The show, organized by the Automatic Vending Association (Great Britain and Ireland), is held every two years.
The initial partnership for the 2011 staging of AVEX proved beneficial to both entities, EVA reported, attaining its objective of working mutually to support industry events.
The AVEX show was launched by AVA in 1969, and has grown into one of the world's foremost vending expositions. In 2009, the European Drinking Water Cooler Association (EDWCA) became a cosponsor. EVA anticipates more than 150 exhibiting companies at AVEX 2013; its own exhibit will be situated in close proximity to AVA's, facilitating communication. AVA is one of the 19 national-association members of EVA, which represents the interests of the European vending industry.
The next AVEX will be held from June 11 through 13 at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. For show information, visit avexshow.co.uk.

If you could choose an anime related zombie team to help you survive the apocalypse who would they be?
All members of your team will lose there super abilities but keep normal abilities like intellect or strength or skill.
4 choices max making 5 including yourself.
Takeshi Yamamoto - Because he's a beast with swords.
The Black reaper {Hei] {BK-201}, [Li] Because he thinks rationally and thus our survival odds go up.
Victorique from Gosick because she's good at judging the situation and is intelligent.
Ryouta Sakamoto - Not just well thought out but knows how to keep everyone together.
Me- I'm not good at anything :'(
Have fun and rank people out of 10 as to how well u think they'd survive
1 being worst ten being best.
A Fox doing what a fox does best?
Brandon Heat - Skilled marksman;never misses
Train Heartnet - Skilled Marksman;never misses
Vash the Stampede - skilled marksman;never misses
me - the kid who hands the ammo;never fights
No powers but still skilled even without it. Vash and Train balances out Grave's quiet nature. Never gets boring, All 3 are good at survival on the streets and beyond. I think we can make through it alright.
They said i could become anything,so i became nothing.
I swear we had this thread before.
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
But I guess if I had to choose 4 it would be Fran, Yuki, Kouta, and Date.
And even if it is, I want us to understand each other.
They keep intellect, strength, or skill... I'm assuming Shizuo Heiwajima from durarara's strength counts as a super power otherwise he would have made my list =(
Sousuke Sagara from full metal panic, I think he would keep a level head and he would have survival training so he could show the rest of us what to eat and what not to and he knows how to use a bunch of weapons.
Shinra Kishitani from Durarara because he already has some experience dealing with super natural things (aka Celty) so I doubt he would go crazy and he is a mob doctor so he would be able to improvise medical care for anything other then zombie bites.
Ein from Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, she was an assassin and she trains someone else to be one. I'm guessing she would be able to help the group be stealthy and avoid some unnecessary fights.
Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann, used to fighting with guns from a young age, including sniper rifles. Used to having overwhelming odds against her in fights so fighting the seemingly endless zombies would not drive her insane.
Yuno Gasai- Mirai Nikki. She's insanely skilled with blades and other weaponry
Revy "two hands". Good with guns and likes to drink and smoke and have a good time!
Shiki Ryougi- Good with knives and swords, and she always wears kimonos(I love women in kimonos)
Makise Kurisu- Just because
Me- Surrounded by my harem of girls to protect me.
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
Do you really have to ask?
I'd just have Roy Mustang tag along, probably, to BLOW EVERYTHING UP.
And do this:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Setting aside practicality, then I'd have the SOS Brigade instead.
Nagato to actually do the ass-kicking, Koizumi to explain everything, Asahina for me to protect and feel all manly and shizz, Kyon to snarkily narrate everything and Haruhi herself as a trump card; the universe's gotten infested with zombies? Eh, new universe, coming up.
As for myself, I'll analyse everything with quantum mechanics or something. Or dance. Ballroom dance.
Thus, the lord said: '...all you geeks ganged up on her and f**ked her!'
Leeeeeroyyyyyy Jennnnnnkins!!!!!!!! Who else would you need?
Seriously though, Saeko, Revy, Roberta the maid, and Saber...
Extended tags,ratings,show discovery: http://crunchyroll.com/group/rotten_sushi

Part of the thread was to rate how people would fair so... I'd say 7 (based on me not having seen the anime Shiki Ryougi is in)
Here is my reasoning, Yuno is not going to really care what is happening without Yuki around and might just off herself because she will never see him again. So despite being a good fighter I think she will end up just being zombie fodder.
With Revy you are going to have great ability to kill zombies, however if I remember right she has a short temper and she can get loud which could lead more zombies to you...
I have not seen the anime Shiki Ryougi so I can't really say if it's a good pick or not >.<
Kurisu is smart so I think she might be able to get people to work together. I think there might be some initial hesitation for her killing zombies, however when she sees that there is no other real choice I think she would do it. Also she would have an outside chance of figuring out how to fix the zombie apocalypse (either through finding a cure or making a working time machine)
I mean I'd be rolling up with the toughest bastards in the anime universe
Kenshiro-Hokuto No Ken
Joetaro Joestar-JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Saber-Fate/ series (Gota have my waifu with me sorry)
Aikawa Ayumu-Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka (He is a freaking zombie himself so he's okay)
Gilgamesh-Fate/ series
Hyoubu Kyousuke-The Unlimited Hyoubu Kyosuke
Zombies would run from US
(Can only have 4 members? Exceeds that limit with sheer over powered-ness)

Since you only picked 3 can I tag along? I'll gladly carry all the ammo you will hand them
Kohta from HOTD. 7/10 for awesome skills with guns yet lacking agility, relies on ammo supply & weakness is Takagi. Unless she's part of the team, he'd lose all rationality, eventually! Must have her as insurance instead of team, due to 0 combat skills.
Itachi from Naruto. 8/10 for the illusions and powers of the uchia clan. Downside is his deterioration of his sight. Must obtain another set of uchia eyes for insurance.
Father from FMA. 9/10 for his alchemy, shadow manipulation & survival skills. The downside is stopping him from betraying me and using me as human sacrifice like the zombies. Must have a transmutation circle ready at all times to undo all his power should he try to betray me.
Rudbornn Chelute from Bleach. 6/10 for his never ending army of arrancar soldiers. Must ensure his safety, if branches break he can no longer grow his army. Also doesn't fight if odds are not in his favour. Must gain way of persuading him with a second resurrection.
Me. Despite being the below average in powers/abilities, I'd come up with the strategies and blackmailing to ensure our rag tag team doesn't become lunch. Might have to come up with back up choices, just in case.

End of an Era for eMusic, Subscription Music Pioneer
eMusic, the online music service that pioneered the subscription approach before Spotify was a glimmer in Daniel Ek's eye, quietly merged Monday with an e-book distributor, in an unusual bit of digital-media consolidation.
Adam Klein, the company's CEO for the past three years, has also stepped down, a spokesman for eMusic said. The company didn't issue a press release but did send a brief statement to record labels, a copy of which appears below.
Mr. Klein confirmed his exit from the company in an email, stating: "I am very pleased with the significant repositioning of the company and its future direction."
Founded in 1998, eMusic charged users a monthly fee, for which they could download a certain number of songs every month. Following the launch of Apple's iTunes Music Store, 99-cents-a-song became the going rate, but eMusic customers who took their full monthly complement of songs got them for what amounted to as little as 25 cents apiece.
However, there was a catch: Major labels, which distribute as much as 90% of the music sold in U.S., weren't interested in a deep-discount online retailer, and stayed away. The company adjusted its approach in 2010 and 2011 and began offering major-label music, along with an adjusted pricing scheme that brought it more in line with what its competitors charged.
The company merging with eMusic, K-NFB Reading Inc., distributes digital books and e-reader software called Blio. It was founded by entrepreneur Ray Kurzweil, now Google director of engineering.
The combined entity will be known as Media Arc Inc., according to the statement, with eMusic and K-NFB as operating units. Terms weren't disclosed.
Here's the full statement:
Dear eMusic Partner, We are excited to announce today the merger of eMusic and K-NFB Reading, Inc. (d/b/a Blio, Inc.) into a single company called Media Arc, Inc., which will offer a comprehensive source of more than 17 million songs, 40,000 audio books and 600,000 eBooks. Both eMusic and K-NFB will remain as operating units of Media Arc, Inc.
As a new company, eMusic and K-NFB will leverage their combined technologies and expertise to create a consumer-centric interface that makes discovering, interacting with, and purchasing all kinds of media content more accessible and seamless for consumers. The goal is to be able to sell more content for our partners by providing electronics manufacturers, retailers, MVPD/wireless companies, and others with a multimedia content solution to better compete in today's market.
Media Arc's mission is to provide the best digital media discovery experience possible by leveraging cross-content insights to recommend new music and books to avid readers and music collectors alike. This will present both authors and artists with a unique opportunity to expand their fan base, reach new audiences, and of course sell more content. Founded by Futurist Ray Kurzweil with financial backing from former Microsoft CFO Michael Brown and media distribution giant Baker & Taylor, Blio, Inc. has built one of the most technologically advanced e-readers on the market. eMusic is a pioneer of the digital music space, with roots in helping music fans discover their next favorite artist or album dating back to 1998.

Aptly named, this pin-board style site encourages you to dream up your perfect world, along with all the indulgences you'd have in it, and then pin your desires into collections. Reminiscent of Pinterest and Gawker, this is a site where you can store your favorite things and dream big about items you wish you had.
I'd start by browsing the site to determine if its vibe suits you. Instead of "hearting" items or adding to your favorites, you "collect" them. But don't be fooled by the theme of indulgence. You can find lots of DIY and crafting tutorials here, as well as luxury items.
Decided you want to start your own collection? Well, then you need to register for an account. To do so, look for the black bar at the bottom of the page that houses the Sign Up button. Click the button and fill in the form with a working e-mail address. Next, create a password and choose a username, and then click the Register button. Or, you can connect with Facebook, which is what I did.
Then, when you see something you like, just click collect. This brings up the interface for collecting. Next, you just fill in a description and add it to a collection. If you haven't created a collection yet for the type of item, just type in a name and it will create a collection for it.
Want to add your own items from around the web? Go to the top right corner of the page where your username is and mouse over it. Once the drop-down list appears, click Add. Paste in the link to the image of the item you want to use (right-click the image and choose copy URL). To find these later, click your username and you'll be whisked away to your profile. There, you can edit the things you've collected.
I don't use browser plug-ins, but lots of people do, so I would feel remiss if I didn't mention that you can mouse over your username and select Tools from the drop-down list to find plug-ins for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
So what will you collect? I'm collecting yarn and DIY beauty products at the moment.

Fred Couples, 53, reveled in a special day with Tiger Woods and Keegan Bradley Thursday in the first round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
Couples enjoyed the fact that he shot a 2-under par 70, one shot better than Woods. Bradley also finished 1-under, but it was the rare matchup with Woods that had Couples excited afterward.To read more or comment...
Jack Nicklaus revealed Wednesday he turned to a Weight Watchers diet after tiring while playing 36 holes one day during the Ryder Cup in 1969.
The Memorial Tournament founder and host said he got up to 210 pounds during his "Fat Jack" days early in his career. Standing nearly 6-foot, he said it wasn't an issue until that long day in '69, 'the first time in my life I got tired."
During a 73-minute press conference at Muirfield Village Golf Club, Nicklaus said he told his wife Barbara on the plane ride home from the Ryder Cup he was going to lose 20 pounds.
"A friend of mine had just used the Weight Watchers diet, I said, 'Let me try your diet,'" he said. "I put on my shorts and a pair of golf shoes and went to the golf course with four or five clubs. I would hit and run around the golf course.
"I lost 15 pounds in two weeks … I actually ended up losing another five. I went from 210 to 185."
Asked to describe what he meant by running around the golf course, Nicklaus said he played 18 holes in about an hour and a half.
Nicklaus was so confident he would reach his goal weight that he said he called a tailor at Hart, Schaffner and Marx, which he represented, and told the company to send someone down in two weeks to make alterations to his clothes.
Nicklaus said he originally feared the weight loss would hurt his game. That was quickly disproved.
"I went down to Kaiser International at Silverado, my first tournament, and won that," he said. "I went to Las Vegas the next week and won that. Went to Hawaii the next week and finished second there. It didn't hurt my golf game too badly."
Nicklaus, now 73, said he didn't start running until his 30s and began lifting light weights in his late 30s. He said he played in a recreational basketball league until he was 40 and still enjoys tennis.
"But I was not like the guys today," he said. "Not even the football players lifted weights when I played. Fitness programs were not there. I would have liked to have had it because I was pretty disciplined when I played and I think it would probably have helped me."
Defending champion Tiger Woods goes off No. 1 at 1:16 p.m. in Thursday's first round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club. He will be paired with Keegan Bradley and Fred Couples.
On Friday, they start at No. 10 at 8:26 a.m.To read more or comment...

Asian Trading Houses Have a Taste for Cheetham Salt
Could a liking for soy sauce be driving this deal?
A bevy of Asian trading houses have expressed interest in Ridley's Cheetham Salt asset, a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
Trading houses such as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Marubeni and Sojitz may be among those attracted to Cheetham Salt, which will soon become one of the largest Indonesia producers following the construction of a state-backed 2,000 hectare salt field in south Indonesia. The company already operates a refinery near Indonesia's deepest sea port in West Java.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 146. Wednesday, 29 May 1991.
Date: Tue, 28 May 1991 20:18:40 -0400
Subject: 2.0141 N&Q: *TC* & Genre
Comment: Re: SHK 2.0141 N&Q: *TC* & Genre
On the genre of T&C: I have several times begun a semester-course with
this play, and with some irreverently appropriate glee point to Virgil
Whittaker's introductory remark, " . . . the play is a unique combination
of learned subject matter, all-inclusive satire, and something close to
smut; and it is neither comedy nor tragedy -- nor, in fact, well-constructed
drama." Ah, the majestic condescension of homo criticus towards the lower
orders. Maybe in the bronx satire was a lot closer to the bone, 'cause
we were accustomed to laughing ourselves black and blue. The resistance
of theorists to satire and satire to theory leaves many of the tragedy/comedy
dichotomists gasping for breath as they try to scale this play. It's a
problem play only for the folks who find satire's bite a problem. Some
may be alarmed by the quarto-folio shift in the Title of KING LEAR from
the TRUE CHRONICLE HISTORIE . . . to the Tragedie. While Gary Taylor
and Stanley Wells chew their way through that problem, I find it fun to
watch and to laugh. Thersites grew up in my neighborhood.
Yours ever,
Steve Urkowitz

I am a shy type kind of person, not so chatty bit approachable. Clean and responsible on household.
We're two long time friends who get along great and have decided to team up to find a place to live together. We are both wanting a change of location for the same reason which is to be closer to the city for work. We are both extremely clean, kind and reliable indidivuals. Preferably somewhere close to public transport. Private apartments/granny flats/small houses/etc general thing is what we're after as we don't need much space. Contact via email. Look forward to hearing from you!
Just looking for place to stay until I get on my feet. As a person who moved out of home at 16, started paying my own tuition fees and became a self starting person, I can confidently say that I know how to look after and care for a house respectfully. I care very much about the privacy of others and expect it to be returned. I'm not a loud person or very social, I keep a house quiet and clean. However I am a very bright person, up for a good chat and a laugh. I enjoy getting to know people. I'm looking for bills to be included in the rent price. I keep fish, so pets would have to be allowed. Although they wouldn't take up too much room, they can stay in the room if that is desired. Looking for anywhere in Adelaide that's close to shops and essential places. I'll be looking to move in November unless the property is near Andrews Farm, to which I could move immediately. At this stage I will be looking at $200 rent, however once I get out of school and move from part time into a full time job I should be able to afford more. I do have a partner looking to move with me, however we've realised that it's unrealistic to expect us to move together. But if it's possible that would be great.
Brooke, 22. Currently studying and working part time. I am introverted so that may make me seem closed off but I would like to find a house mate I could develop a friendship with. I would ideally like to live in the northern suburbs but am open to other locations. I have a cat and a rabbit so would like pet friendly housing. I am a neat person who repsects others. You won't need to worry about me being too loud unless I am watching a super intense anime lol. I am a very quiet person and repsect peoples privacy/space.
Im honest reliable and very tidy.. a quiet homebody am very respectful of privacy.. i like to cook just not for myself..
My name's Tiarne, I'm 25 years old and a qualified Early Childhood Educator. I've been teaching in a primary school in the country for the past 3 years and am now looking to move to Adelaide to live and work. I'm relaxed, friendly, easy to get along with and like to keep my surroundings clean and tidy. Looking to rent a room with a likeminded female for the next 6-12 months :)

I love to sing. i am a great person to live with because i value friendship and I respect people i don't judge i have a great sense of humor and easy to get along with. i am a college student. i live in gawler east
Currently looking for suitable housing so I can find sustainable employment close by. I'm neat and tidy, always able to pass a inspection. I do have indoor cat who is fully trained and well groomed. I'm reliable to pay my rent and bond on time, I only smoke outdoors and will ensure that all furnishing and interior are kept smoke free. I have most of my own furniture and general household items. Ultimately I'm wanting to get a place on my own but I'm happy to share accommodation depending on suitability or a granny flat.
I am great to live with because although I am happy to chat if others want to chat, I respect other peoples space also, and I always pay my rent on time and have never let anyone down in that way. I am also a very positive person as much as I can be. I do look forward to hearing from you soon. I originally came from QLD but absolutley love the lifestyle in South Australia. I love going out for long walks, computers and gaming and talking to friends, though at this point in time I will be happy with a place to stay while I continue to look for work. I am happy to catch public transport to where I want to go. Ideally I would like to stay in the northern suburbs if possible. I am happy to hear any offers of accommodation. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I am easy to get along with Tidy Respectful Friendly I am a steel fixer and work full time most if the time are late afternoon finishes
Hi I'm 24 years old, working full time as an apprentice plumber I'm pretty easy going and clean. I'm looking to rent in an existing share house, granny flat or team up with a couple of people to rent a house.
I work full time 50+ hrs a week and travel on my off days, rarely ever around... I was born in Santa Barbara California but I've been here in Elizabeth working at Holden for 4yrs... Lots of stories when I am around...
I am simple down to earth, respect privacy, neat and tidy, very organized,
Hi, My name is Bimzy. I am 33, working professional. My work takes me places. I like to explore the cuisine scene and love working out, (yoga et al) and keeping in touch with nature. I like listening to music (jazz, house, blues, trance) and dancing. I am a clean, systematic ( comes naturally with project manager role I guess) but a wicked cook. can cook anything that I like in taste, just need the right music and wine by my side. I am sort of geeky, good with computers, great with business affairs. I like to keep busy with my stuff and don't mind socializing or staying by myself. I'm looking for a place closer to train station so that I see myself easily catching the train ride to my office in Edinburgh, without doubling my office wear as active wear ;-)
I'm quiet,i don't smoke,i don't drink alcohol,i don't take drugs,i like watching t.v.most of all i love spending time with my grandaugher
Hi, I'm Kiara. I'm 18 years old, looking to move in with someone in Gawler/Elizabeth and with someone I can call a friend. I'm very much a socialite, so much that my friends call me a social butterfly! I love to cook (specialties are spaghetti) and enjoy reading and love watching movies I'm a very neat and organised clean and respectful house mate who takes pride in what i do and wear and live. I love my time to myself but also really enjoy being out and meeting new people. Please feel free to message me anytime if you have any questions or inquiries.
I am a very private person and like to keep to myself but also like to spend time with others. I currently have one cat, one guinea pig and one rabbit. I am also a vegan but do not mind if you aren't.
We are always taking care of every person we live with... quiet and reliable... mostly working or traveling so not often at home :)
I am looking for somewhere where the bedroom is unfurnished. I am happy to put my other furniture in storage if you have stuff already. Whilst I would prefer a place on my own this is not a viable option for me at the moment. I would like 1-2 housemates ideally. I have lived with both male and female housemates, unfortunately towards the end they all became disrespectful and selfish so I have no choice but to leave. I'm a great housemate, I'm tidy, im funny, im friendly, introverted and extroverted. I'm educated but not in a snobby way, I like to read, I like my sports, I like watching movies and have an occasional reality TV binge (don't judge me on that). I can cook but not a Masterchef level or anything, just basic level. I like to get to the beach in summer and curl up in bed or on the couch with a blanket in winter. I like to get out to markets and catch-ups with friends, or go to some shows or watch some bands when they are around. I like to go for walks and I love to visit my family and friends and hope that any family or friends are welcome at my new home with my new housemates. I work full-time monday to friday as an office administrator for a GPS Fleet Tracking company in Thebarton. I'm not sure what else to write here, so if you have questions just ask. Also my moving date is actually a little later than what is suggested in my ad but that's only because it wouldn't let me post the ad without an earlier date. So if you want to know when I am available just ask.
clean after my self , clean and tidy

Cutshaw's late heroics sink Mars Hill, 67-61February 11, 2012
Brevard overcomes double-digit deficit to win first SAC contest
Brevard, N.C. - Alyssa Cutshaw drained a three-pointer from the right wing to put the Tornados up 65-61 in the final minute and hit a pair of free throws in the closing seconds as the Tornados fought back from a double-digit deficit in the last eight minutes to defeat the visiting Mars Hill Lions on Saturday afternoon, 67-61.
Kristen Metcalf hit a pair of three-pointers to put the Lions (11-12, 4-10 SAC) up 53-41 with 8:37 remaining in the contest, but Cutshaw answered with a three-pointer on the Tornados (6-16, 1-13 SAC) as the Tornados battled back, tying the game up at 58 apiece with 2:54 to play on a pair of Lindsay Brendle free throws. Metcalf hit a three-pointer with 1:25 remaining to give Mars Hill the lead, but Schlobohm put the Tornados ahead with a layup with 1:02 left in the contest, setting the stage for Cutshaw's dagger from behind the arc.
Schlobohm led Brevard with 20 points in the contest, going 8-for-14 from the floor as Brevard shot 43.1 percent (25-58) as a team for the game. Micheala Watkins was 7-for-8 from the field in finishing with 15 points, while Brendle and Cutshaw were both in double-digits with 14 and 13 points apiece as the Tornados took home the South Atlantic Conference victory.
Metcalf led all scorers in the contest for the Lions, connecting on six three-pointers as Mars Hill shot 39.0 percent (23-59) from the floor in the game. Danielle Tucker added 15 points and two blocked shots, while Jackie Simon pulled down 12 rebounds and had three assists in the Lions defeat.
Tucker and Metcalf scored six points apiece in the first five minutes as the Lions jumped out to a 16-4 lead at the 15:20 mark as Metcalf connected on her second three-pointer of the game giving Mars Hill the early edge. The Tornados battled back with a 19-6 run of their own, setting the stage for a back-and-forth first half as Brevard took their first lead of the contest at 23-22 on a Brendle layup at the 7:05 mark.
Tucker tied the game up for the first time with 4:34 to play, driving in for the layup and three-pointers by Cutshaw and Ansley Ricker kept the game knotted up at 30 apiece. Metcalf was able to send the Lions into the halftime break with a lead, hitting a free throw with 0.3 seconds on the clock, giving Mars Hill the 31-30 advantage.
Watkins opened the second half by giving the Tornados the lead as the junior point guard drove in for the layup to put the Tornados on top with 19:48 to play, but Deal and Tyler Carlson kept the Lions on track, tying the game up at 34 apiece with 18:17 on the clock.
Mars Hill broke the tie by going on a 19-7 run as Deal scored six consecutive points and Metcalf drained a pair of three-pointers, with the latter giving the Lions the 53-41 lead with 8:37 left in the contest.
The Tornados battled back, going on a 17-5 run, cutting the lead down to one point on a Schlobohm three-pointer from the left corner with 4:01 to play, before Brendle tied the game up with a pair of free throws at the 2:54 mark, setting the stage for Cutshaw's late game heroics.
Brevard returns to the road in South Atlantic Conference play as they travel to Harrogate, Tenn. to take on Lincoln Memorial University on Wednesday, February 15th. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Railsplitters in Tex Turner Arena is set for 6 p.m.

I really liked the idea of the Body Pens, but they disappointed me a little. In California, during the summer, they were still completely solid and thus useless for writing! Submerging them in hot water did nothing but tear off the paper labels. Eventually a hot pad worked them down to the "melty" point, and both flavors tasted great on my girlfriend, but it was just too difficult to get them heated enough.
i would not recommend this simply because its hard to squeeze out the tube and in the heat of the moment i just wanna write and suck, not squeeze until my fingers hurt. maybe letting it sit in a cup of warm water might loosen it up but thats doing alot

Heidi Klum Bares All for Allure May 2012
She's always been a popular choice when it comes to front page subjects, and Heidi Klum was selected to take over the cover of the May 2012 issue of Allure.
Set to hit newsstands on April 24, the 38-year-old "Project Runway" beauty bared all for the Norman Jean Roy shot spread while opening up about topics including her recent split from ex-husband Seal and cosmetic surgery.
Highlights from Miss Klum's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Allure!
On whether she will reconcile with Seal:
"I don't know! Time will tell. I'm still in the eye of the storm now, and it's a little bit crazy. But sometimes you need to be apart in order to figure things out."
On her early days as a model:
"I was too curvy and too busty and a little too short. And I was a little bit self-conscious about it. But I was by no means heavy, I just—well, you have hips and boobs, and that's it. Haute couture, you don't really see girls with big boobs. And I always wanted first to be a model. So I had to say, 'OK, you're going to find other things to do in this industry, or it's maybe not my industry.'"
On her divorce from Seal:
"It's hard, just like for other couples. People go through our trash cans. It's crazy. And you know, we have four kids; they have to go to school."
On the importance of gay men in her life:
"They are like this kaleidoscope of interesting thoughts and opinions. They teach you so many things about men that are useful."
On cosmetic surgery:
"Ask me again when I'm 65, but...I'm proud to be able to say, in this day and age, I haven't done anything. Everyone has a view of what's pretty and what's not pretty, and [surgery] just doesn't look pretty to me. Especially when I see it on really young girls. I don't want to name names, but it's like, Wow, I remember you five years ago, looking to me so beautiful, and now it's like... who is this person? And I know girls half my age who do it. What are they gonna do at 40 or 50, when the s-h-i-t really hits the fan?"
On her marriage to Seal:
"You know, I wouldn't change anything. If I had to go back in time and say, 'I should have changed this or that...' No. I don't resent anything that ever happened. Things just turn out the way they turn out.... I'm still in the eye of the storm now, and it's all a little bit crazy. But sometimes you have to be apart in order to figure it out."

Limbaugh on Guantánamo detainees reportedly forced to defecate on themselves: "I thought they did that anyway over there"
On December 22, Rush Limbaugh reacted to the previous day's Associated Press report [1] on the American Civil Liberties Union's findings, based on documents and emails obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, about the treatment of detainees held at the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba:
LIMBAUGH: [Reading from AP report] "One detainee wrapped in an Israeli flag, some were shackled hand and foot in fetal positions for 18 to 24 hours, forcing them to soil themselves." Ugh! I thought they did that anyway over there. But this is news to me that this is news.

Multimedia Players
Most current video multimedia players play many video formats (as well as audio), including the Flash video .flv format.
VLC Multimedia Player
VLC is a cross-platform multimedia player that supports many formats without need for additional codecs. It can not only receive video streams (also see here to convert it to mp4), but can act as a server for video streams, as well. It is one of the only players that can view and backup almost any DVD format, no matter which copy protection is used. See these tips for using VLC to backup/rip encrypted DVDs.
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse
VLC plugins
There are many VLC plugins. You will likely only need to install a few of them, however, depending on your hardware and input/output configuration:
sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-ggi vlc-plugin-jack vlc-plugin-pulse vlc-plugin-sdl vlc-plugin-svgalib mozilla-plugin-vlc vlc-plugin-esd
MPlayer Multimedia Player
Mplayer (and now Mplayer2) is a video player with a wide range of formats supported (including RealMedia and Windows-codecs) and a wide variety of outputs.
sudo apt-get install mplayer
- or
sudo apt-get install mplayer2
- There are several frontends for MPlayer. See this complete list.
Dump a video stream to disc
You can dump a video stream to disc using Mplayer:
mplayer -dumpstream streamurl
If you don't know the exact URL of the stream you wish to save, you can discover it from the webpage it is embedded in by using the Firefox add-on UnPlug. Do not save streams that are illegal to download.
Xine-UI Multimedia Player
Xine UI is a multimedia player based, of course, on the xine platform. It can also play streamed video from the Internet and supports most formats, including some uncommon ones.
sudo apt-get install xine-ui
Kaffeine Video Player
Kaffeine is a video player for Kubuntu/KDE. Install:
sudo apt-get install kaffeine
RealPlayer 11 Multimedia Player
The Linux Realplayer is actually based on the open-source Helix player. Helix itself can be installed as a package easily (read Helix plug-in) and used instead of Realplayer. These instructions are to install the proprietary version of RealPlayer only.
Download Real Player official linux player
Open a terminal and cd to the directory you have downloaded realplayer's .bin file. Then issue the following commands
chmod +x RealPlayer11GOLD.bin sudo ./RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
When it asks for installation path enter /usr/local/RealPlayer
For all other questions just choose default by pressing enter.
If you have installed mozilla-mplayer package you will need to delete the mplayer firefox plugin for real player videos. Other wise all real player files will open with mplayer. For that please do this
cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins sudo rm mplayerplug-in-rm.*
Please remember to restart firefox and when ever you click on a real player video choose the option open with and use /usr/bin/realplay

Voodoo is a fascinating subject for a museum, if an unsettling one. Just what is it? Is it real? Is it dangerous? Find out the next time you visit New Orleans, with a trip to the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum.
Voodoo arrived in New Orleans with African people, back when the city was first founded. It has been here ever since, morphing and adapting to the civilization and culture of the new world. Its roots are ancient, but it is not a "dead" art; in New Orleans, Voodoo evolved into a fascinating blend of West African religion and Catholicism.
Many of the Africans who were transported to New Orleans during the early 18th century came from a region in West Africa that is today the Republic of Benin. The Fon people who lived there called spirits "Vodoun". Spirits and ancestors were a big part of the world view of the Fon people, and they became a big part of Voodoo as it was practiced in and around New Orleans.
To spend time at the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum is to delve into one of the most fascinating aspects of New Orleans culture. The museum has helped people from all walks of life learn more about Voodoo. Without being pedantic, it presents a vast amount of information and artifacts.
Stop by the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum the next time you're in town. It is located in the heart of the French Quarter, near several New Orleans Bed and Breakfasts. You may never be the same again.
Please visit the Historic Voodoo Museum for additional information.
Please visit our French Quarter Bed and Breakfasts for a list of inns near the museum.

Mayor says - off my sidewalks
There have been more than 100 calls for police on the sidewalk and street in front of Portland city hall.
Now the mayor wants an end to it.
Mayor Charlie Hales is tired of people blocking and camping in front of city hall - what he calls the people's house. "We've had people trying to come into this building being harassed, having obscenties shouted at them, people having sex on the sidewalks, that's all not okay."
Ordinances allow the city action. People will be moved out some time this week.
Police Commander Bob Day, asked, what if people don't want to move? "If they don't then there's going to be the various ordinances and laws that apply to the lawful order of police to move. We'll just have to evaluate that as we go."
The mayor says they will also work with people on issus of drug or alcohol addiction, homelessness and mental illness.

Fair Trade Your Picnic Table
This summer, when you pack your picnic basket, in addition to lots of fresh local and organic fruits and veggies, there are growing numbers of Fair Trade goodies you can share with friends on a sunny summer afternoon.
For planning the perfect green and Fair Trade picnic, here are some tips on finding products that help workers and farmers build a better life for their families and communities around the world.
If you don't see the products below in your local supermarket or food cooperative, please ask for them. You can also follow the links to Fair Trade companies in our Green Business Network™ who sell online, and find more options in our National Green Pages®.
1. Sodas and Iced Tea
Maine Root sells bottled soda-pop sweetened with Fair Trade sugar, and Honest Tea sells bottled Fair Trade tea. Or brew your own, and choose reuseable containers; dozens of Green Pages companies sell loose tea: Equal Exchange, Numi Tea, Rishi Tea, SerendipiTea, Zhena's Gypsy Tea, and more.
2. Ice Cream
Ben & Jerry's uses Fair Trade ingredients like sugar, cocoa, coffee, and vanilla in several of their popular ice cream flavors.
3. Sugar
With much of the US-produced sugar supply tainted by GMOs, for baking picnic treats, consider sugar from Fair Trade farmers. Find sugar from Paraguay from Dean's Beans, and sugar from the Philippines from Alter-Eco. Simply Organic offers baking mixes — for brownies, cookies, and more — that include Fair Trade sugar or cocoa.
4. Spices
When you're spicing up your picnic creations, find Fair Trade spices and seasonings from companies like Frontier Natural Products Co-op, Silk Road Spices, and Mountain Rose Herbs, including vanilla, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, white and black pepper, and more.
5. Rice and Quinoa
Consider side dishes made with Fair Trade rice from the cooperatives of rural Thailand. Alter-Eco offers four kinds of rice, along with four kinds of Fair Trade quinoa. Andean Naturals (a business funded by New Resource Bank, another member of our business network) offers a wide selection of Fair Trade quinoa from Bolivia. (Join our "Break Up With Your Mega-Bank" campaign to help finance more businesses like Andean Naturals!)
6. Tropical Fruits
Look for the Fair Trade label in your supermarket or food cooperative. Fair Trade tropical fruits like mangoes, pineapples, and bananas do exist, but they're harder to find than some other Fair Trade commodities. If you can't find them near you, you can direct food store managers to Fair Trade USA for more information on how to stock these products.
7. S'mores
Finish off your picnic with summery s'mores made with Fair Trade chocolate. Find chocolate companies in our National Green Pages, and check out the "We Want More From Our S'Mores" campaign hosted by our allies at Global Exchange. They'll link you Fair Trade chocolate companies and fun summer actions you can take to strengthen the Fair Trade movement.
Please share this list with everybody you know who cares about Fair Trade, and have a great time assembling the perfect Fair Trade picnic.
Look for the Labels:
There are various marks to identify Fair Trade Products. Fair Trade USA recently updated their label. You'll still see the old label (above, right) on supermarket shelves, as the new label ( left) rolls out.
You may also encounter labels from Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International(below, right) and IMO Fair For Life (left).

IL notes: Hens' Lennerton breaking out
Tigers first base prospect among league leaders with .443 OBP
By John Wagner / Special to MLB.com | June 10, 2013 6:00 AM ET
When the 2013 season began, Jordan Lennerton wasn't considered one of Detroit's top prospects.
But the 27-year-old first baseman has put together some eye-popping numbers that have improved his stock -- both inside and outside the Tigers organization.
Lennerton begins the week ranked fifth in the International League with a .339 batting average. He hit in 18 straight games through May 29, a streak that's tied for the longest in the IL this season.
What's more, Lennerton isn't just collecting hits, he's hitting with power. He has 11 home runs and 34 RBIs to rank among the team leaders in both categories and has a .536 slugging percentage.
"I'm seeing [the ball] well and I feel very comfortable," Lennerton said. "I've spent time with 'Bull' [Toledo hitting coach Leon Durham] in the batting cage and I'm happy where everything is.
"We worked more on my rhythm than mechanics. He wants to make sure I'm moving in the right direction and at the right time."
Lennerton also is third in the league with 44 walks, a key reason he has a .443 on-base percentage.
"He's hitting in the .340s because he's taking his walks and not swinging at bad pitches," Durham said. "That's the sign of a guy who has a plan and is not going away from his plan, trying to force something."
The walks also have helped Lennerton craft a string of 40 games in which he's reached base, the longest streak in the IL this season. It's also the longest in organized baseball, regardless of level.
"He's been doing it since April," Durham said. "When he has a 'bad' day, it seems like it's a 1-for-3 with two other quality at-bats.
"He really hasn't had a point where he has struggled. He's keeping it simple. He's not pressing to get hits and he's not pressing to hit home runs."
The best example of Lennerton's approach came in an at-bat against Syracuse's Ross Ohlendorf on May 19. With a runner on third base and one out, he fought through a 12-pitch at-bat that ended with him slamming a two-run homer to straightaway center.
"He threw me a couple of fastballs in earlier at-bats and I felt I was on them," Lennerton said of Ohlendorf. "When the count was 2-2, he threw the breaking ball down and I just kept fighting.
"He kept challenging me and challenging me. He threw a couple of good fastballs up in the zone, but I managed to put good swings on them and foul them off. Then he threw me a changeup that I was able to stay on and drive."
In brief
McDade gets McMoving: Mike McDade began the season with Columbus, batting .230 with no homers and seven RBIs in 21 games. Since his move to Charlotte in early May, his bat has perked up. McDade is hitting .289 with four homers and 10 RBIs in 26 games with the Knights and begins the week with a 10-game hitting streak.
Super Nova: While RHP Ivan Nova may have struggled with the Yankees this season, he had no problems in his first start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on June 5. Nova, who was 2-1 with a 5.16 ERA in six appearances for New York, allowed two hits and two walks while striking out six over six shutout innings in the RailRiders' 8-0 win over Syracuse.
He said it: "I remember [it was in 2004] because I went 5-for-5 [for Double-A Frisco]. I called my mom and she told me, 'Good job, but [Alfonso] Soriano went 6-for-6. So keep swinging it.'" -- Bulls OF Jason Bourgeois to the Durham Herald-Sun on June 3 when asked if he remembered the last time he had five hits in a game. Bourgeois went 5-for-6 with a homer, two RBIs and three runs scored in a 15-2 win over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
He said it, part II: "[Phillippe Aumont] is a work in progress, that's the best way I can put it. If he was throwing strikes and commanding the baseball, he wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be going through these stages. The best remedy and the best recipe for him is, we're going to continue running him out there and eventually he's going to get it, because he got it before." -- IronPigs manager Dave Brundage to the (Allentown) Morning Call. Aumont, assigned to Lehigh Valley in late May, walked 12 over his first 4 2/3 innings with the IronPigs and had a 11.57 ERA before a good effort against Charlotte on June 8. In that game, he retired all five hitters he faced, striking out four, to lower his ERA to 8.53 in seven games.
