Remember Derek Zoolander from 2001? He is back in "Zoolander 2" and I just attended the premiere screening of it last night at TGV 1 Utama.
As a fan of the very first movie which was released back in 2001, I had very high expectations from the 2nd one and it turned out to be super entertaining and hilarious!
In case you have no clue what the movie is about, Zoolander 1 (and now 2) is a modern comedy movie that portrays the shallowness of the fashion industry in a very dark and sarcastic yet humorous way.
After watching it last night, I have noted 5 things that will make you fall in love with Zoolander 2.
5. Justin Bieber dies.
If you are a Bieber fan, you will love this movie as he is in Zoolander 2. If you are not a fan of Bieber, he dies in the movie so it's a reason for you to watch as well.
4. The crazy amount of cameos will blow your mind.
I'm not gonna reveal the names of the cameos in the movie but just so you know, Benedict Cumberbatch (as seen in the trailers) appeared as a male/female model in the movie and he was AWESOMEEEEEE! Of course, the 1245465 other cameos appeared in their own mind blowing ways as well.
3. The MAGNUM
If you have seen Zoolander (2001) you will know the MAGNUM does not appear all the time. Being able to catch a glipse of it again in Zoolander 2 is definitely an experience you will never forget.
2. The OST is definitely loop material
The songs in the movie, especially the one during the end credits. So NICE!
Wait wait. I'm talking about the blue outfit on Derek Zoolander. Whatchu looking at?!
I rate the movie 9.5/10 and it's the first time iI'm giving a movie an almost complete rating. Go watch it!

Manassas City Council Candidates 2012
By Greg L | 23 April 2012 | Manassas City | 33 Comments
Voters will officially have five candidates to choose from for the Manassas City Council elections on May 1st and keeping up with the candidates and all the dynamics of the past few weeks has been a challenge for many. Here's a run-down of the candidates and what they've been doing that will hopefully prove useful in deciding which ones deserve your support.
Republican Candidates
Ian Lovejoy was the top vote getter at the Republican Convention in January, powered by his endorsements from Del. Jackson Miller and Councilman Marc Aveni as well as his pretty extensive experience with city matters over the past few years. He's been on the City's Architectural Review Board, President of the Manassas City Public Schools Education Foundation, a member of the Manassas Family Services Advisory Board, and VP of his HOA board in Point of Woods. A dedicated conservative, Ian is very concerned about city spending and tax rates and has some very interesting ideas about how to improve the city and its schools without dipping into taxpayer's pockets to do so. He's also very personable and approachable, and welcomes emails and phone calls from city residents in a way that I think will continue if he's elected to City Council.
I've known Ian for a few years and am personally very impressed with him. He's sharp and thoughtful and his principles are absolutely on-target. He will make a great addition to the City Council.
Jon Way has been on City Council for five years and has done a respectable job in the position. My only concerns have been that he hasn't been as much of a hawk on the budget as I had expected him to be, and has been reluctant to hold city staff accountable when they're not doing the right thing for the city, but in every other respect his voting record is solid. His experience on the planning commission has been very useful as many of the difficult issues the Council has had to deal with have involved zoning issues, and he has been excellent on public safety issues.
During his tenure I've had plenty of opportunities to work with Jon and seen him numerous times speaking at Prince William Tea Party events. His heart is definitely in the right place, and he's very accessible and open to the ideas of others when there's an issue. Jon is a candidate that has earned re-election and someone conservatives should work with more deliberately (and constructively) to make sure he understands where we're coming from which would go a long way towards improving his tenure on the Council.
Mark Wolfe (no website available) is running for his second term on the Council with a decidedly mixed record. Wolfe has been dogged with complaints about his votes on the abortion clinic in Manassas and concerns about the appearance of a conflict of interest between the Manassas Ballet where he is Executive Director, and his position on the City Council that provides funding for the organization as well as his service on the PWC Arts Council that disburses county funds to the Manassas Ballet as well. He hasn't demonstrated that much fiscal conservatism during this past term either. Wolfe squeaked by at the Manassas Republican Convention partly because of his strong public speaking talents, but there was definitely an undercurrent of discontent among many that Wolfe has wandered off the reservation.
I find Wolfe to be a very engaging and generous guy who simply has a difference with some conservatives about the role of the arts in city, and the role of government within the arts. Despite my personal admiration for the man, I think he's wrong on this. There's just too much of an appearance of impropriety here for someone to be an elected official who has a role in appropriating money to a charitable entity that they have a leadership role in. (UPDATE: and far too many scandalous accusations flying around about it.) Wolfe has consistently talked about his concerns about illegal immigration, although Virtucon's story about the Manassas Ballet knowingly employing illegal aliens raised questions about his dedication to that principle. My take here is that the Ballet is much more of a calling for Wolfe than being on City Council and he should pick the one more meaningful to him, or the voters should save him the trouble.
Jerry Carman came out of nowhere to start an energetic campaign for City Council as a conservative beholden to no one. The array of signs all over the city promoting his candidacy shows that's been working, and it is especially interesting to see how many members of the Manassas Republican Committee have his signs in their yard. For folks wanting to shake up the establishment a bit, Jerry seems to be a guy who will get on the Council and fight hard for fiscal discipline and not allow staff to be bullied around by miscreants like Ricardo Juarez. With young kids in the school system, he's got a lot of skin in the game, so there's a lot of motivation here to turn things around in one of the less successful parts of the city.
I've met Jerry and was highly impressed with him. Having a watchdog on City Council could be very valuable and he seems very well suited to filling a role like that, and I think he'd be an excellent addition.
Patricia Richie-Folks (no website available) is an unusual pick by the Manassas Democrats to run for office. A recent transplant from Florida with no history in the city, she's aligned with the Virginia Organizing Project which supports illegal aliens. It's been hard to find much about her qualifications and experience, although facebook has provided some rather disturbing insights. Apparently not many Manassas Democrats are actually happy with Richie-Folks as a candidate other than the Unitarian crowd and her campaign thus far seems to be little more than hoping someone with a "D" next to their name might by default get enough votes to squeak by.
Let's hope that doesn't happen. Despite the boilerplate campaign rhetoric about business development from her, the only public record she has involves supporting illegal aliens and making government bigger and more intrusive.
Some supporters of Sheryl Bass (including some prominent spouses of the local GOP establishment) have mounted a write-in campaign for her in the wake of her failing to get the Republican nomination at the Convention in January. To Bass' credit she is supporting the Republican nominees, is not participating in this campaign, and has thereby displayed admirable dignity and honor in the wake of what was a bitter disappointment to her.
There's a big reason she didn't get that nomination, however. During her term on City Council Bass consistently demonstrated a stunning lack of understanding of what was going on, her most significant accomplishment was helping to architect the failure that the city schools have become, she exhibits the same appearance of a conflict of interest with the Manassas Ballet by serving as its President, and her voting record in favor of spending and higher taxes is exactly what I expected it would be when she ran for an appointment to Council in 2007. While I think she is a wonderful person who has handled her rejection at the convention with absolutely remarkable grace, she's shown herself to be entirely unsuited to serving as an elected official. I really have to wonder why anyone would be expending a lot of effort to get her re-elected, given how she's performed so far.
So how is this all going to sort out? With an environment as dynamic as this it's really hard to tell. Bass' supporters have a tremendous hurdle to get about 700 people to write her name in, but it's possible her presence in the field might be enough to knock Patricia Richie-Folks' performance down and keep her out of office. In a general election Mark Wolfe is much stronger as a candidate than at a convention, even given some of the criticism he's gotten which has weakened him some. Whether he or Jerry Carman will take the third-place spot is hard to predict, but it's like between the two of them. Jon Way has remained pretty much clear of controversy and will likely be the top vote-getter, and I believe Ian Lovejoy will slip in there in second place.
Whoever you support (and you can vote for three candidates on May 1st), they need your help right now. Things could shake out a lot differently than I expect and efforts in the last week make a huge difference. If you care whether someone with connections to transsexual porn stars and a supporter of KK's Temptations will have a vote on City Council, you need to get engaged. Don't expect anyone else will do that work for you.

Greg, Ian took his landslide not just because of the two endorsements, but the door-to-door effort to rally delegates to the convention. He called me back in January before he officially announced to talk about what he was doing, what his stands are. I personally like his campaign slogan "The whole town, not just Old Town".
And a slight correction - Jerry home schools his youngest and that was a "ping" on him by several people. They raised the issue how can you speak to the schools when your kids are not even in it.
Good analysis, and it is going to be an interesting Voting Day.
City Taxpayer said on 23 Apr 2012 at 8:37 am:
Lovejoy, Way, Carmen, 1, 2, 3 that's how it will go I hope.
Bass is fading in spite of the moderate/liberal wing of the City GOP helping her out big time due to fear they will lose control and can't spend my money as they please on $600,000 bike trails and $20,000 Manassas Ballets.
Wolfe just has too much baggage and bad press to ignore.
Ritchie-Folks is too much of an uber-liberal for this town and has no experience to speak of.
Lets get this over please and get back to work.
true blue said on 23 Apr 2012 at 10:56 am:
I agree w/ your analysis on Ms Ritchie-Folks; a recent transplant with no history in the city. Ian, also a recent transplant, has worked dilligently. People can (and do) differ on his politics, but he worked hard to get where he is. Carmen, also I believe a recent transplant, however has about as much accomplishment and backup in the city as Ms Ritchie Folks, and as observed home schools his children. Nothing wrong with that, but I believe an effective publis servant is someone using the taxpayer services. Which as you observe, leaves Mrs. Bass who has a monumental uphill climb to get people out and vote. The Republican right will go and vote for Lovejoy & Carmen, the question is will anyone else show up and vote?
Ha! said on 23 Apr 2012 at 10:57 am:
Bass is fading? Has there been a poll conducted? You wouldn't know it by the number of pink signs around the city. I was at the farmer's market on Saturday and noticed a table set up outside Opera House, doing a brisk bit of campaigning for Bass. By the hysterics of some on this and other blogs, it would appear there's a lot of fear that the effort may be successful, or just successful enough to bump off Carman.
4kidsnadog said on 23 Apr 2012 at 11:52 am:
For those that raise issue with Jerry homeschooling. Why shouldn't he weigh in? His tax money goes to the schools. Besides, if NOT having kids enrolled in public school is truly an argument then Lovejoy, Way and Bass shouldn't get people votes either….none of them currently have kids in shool.
Jerry Carman said on 23 Apr 2012 at 12:44 pm:
This whole mind set that a citizen who chooses not to send their children to public schools should not criticize, comment on reforms or use as a platform for election consideration does not fully compute with me. Schools are at the top of any local "food chain". They affect property values, community safety, taxes and the primary determination on whether to move into our city (or not). This stands true with individuals, families with or with-out school age children, home "schoolers" and businesses. We will not attract these entities of a more meritorious nature unless we fix our schools. I would like nothing better than to know that sending my children to our public schools was the best option. Being told on two different occasions (from teachers in my district) "Only send your children here as a last resort", speaks volumes. We all know we have a failing education system with several factors subtracting from what most would consider a quality education system. If I am fortunate enough to be elected I will work and negotiate diligently, professionally and respectfully with our school board and superintendent to solve these problems using teacher input as the back bone.
I have lived in the City for 10 years and realize some may consider that a recent transplant.
CityTaxpayer2 said on 23 Apr 2012 at 1:25 pm:
Carman for Manassas City Schoolboard!
J. Adams said on 23 Apr 2012 at 1:30 pm:
I don't care where Mr. Carman sends his kids and, honestly, don't understand why that should make a difference for City Council.
On the other hand, I am concerned about Mr. Carman's lack of any relevant experience. He has, as far as I can tell, never held a leadership position in any organization at any level. Is he a leader in his church? The Masons? Does he coach little league? Anything?
How in the world can anyone say what kind of City Council member he will be? How can he know what kind of leader he will be, when he has never led? This is especially disturbing since he opted not to attend the candidates forum last week. If he can't stand up in front of the public during the campaign and make hard promises, can he stand up in front of the public as a member of the City Council and make hard decisions?
It is very easy for Mr. Carman to say the right things and tell people what they want to hear privately. As we all know, it is much harder to stand up in front of a room full of angry city employees and vote to cut their benefits. Can Mr. Carman do that? None of us knows, because he has never had to make difficult public decisions like that.
Mr. Way, Wolfe and Lovejoy have. I may not agree with everything they have done, but I'll take a leader with whom I agree 90% of the time to a complete blank slate any day.
Carman looks, to me, like a walk-on freshman, showing up on the first day of practice and demanding to be made the starting quarterback. Despite never having played football before. I suppose it is possible he could be good, but it seems unlikely.
Ha! said on 23 Apr 2012 at 1:48 pm:
J. Adams,
It would appear that the Manassas Republican Chairman agrees with you:
Jerry Carman said on 23 Apr 2012 at 1:57 pm:
J Adams,
I can agree with your comment about your 90% analogy. If you agree with anyone 90% of the time then there is no logical calculation that would or should sway you from your current course.
As far as being a leader:
I have over 20 years experience in operations and sales management (supervising over 100 employees with complete P&L responsibility).
I am a leader in the children's ministry at my church.
Was and will return to coach soccer after the election.
And most importantly a successful leader for my family.
To me it is easier to say what someone wants to hear in a public forum (as there are no follow up questions, debate or sincere one-on-one rhetoric) than speaking with someone about their personal concerns, angers and questions and answering sincerely in person.
In your analogy (which is fine) the starting QB is 90% fit and capable so why the need to change to someone who "seems unlikely" to have enough leadership and experience to take over.
My analogy is our starting QB is injured and if not replaced we may lose the game.
Anonymous said on 23 Apr 2012 at 2:02 pm:
Sure looks like the establishment is worried that their boy Wolfe is going to get knocked off by Jerry Carman. They're practically ignoring everyone but him.
Course stuff like this only makes their job harder: http://virginiavirtucon.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/a-skunk-in-swan-lake/ Looks like establishment boy Wolfe is up to his neck in dirty dealings with taxpayer money!
Ha! said on 23 Apr 2012 at 2:44 pm:
Or could it be the public is being made aware that Mr. Carman is not ready for prime-time, and this has his supporters concerned? There's no substitute for actually having done stuff. Like "The Emperor's New Clothes", people are getting wise to the fact that he has nothing to point to that would indicate he's ready for the tasks at hand. He couldn't even manage to show up to a candidates forum. Why should we expect him to show up to work for Manassas, when he's never worked for Manassas before, in ANY capacity.
Doug Brown said on 23 Apr 2012 at 3:50 pm:
Ha! vs Jerry Carman
Yes, yes, something is missing here but I just can't name it.
Doug Brown said on 23 Apr 2012 at 4:05 pm:
"andy says:

HA! I used to talk to that midnight rider guy on the CB…."
Badger said on 23 Apr 2012 at 4:09 pm:
You can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results… the same goes regarding elected officials. If you don't like what you have, try something different.
The "worst that could happen" is the Manassas City Council could stop spending taxpayer dollars on questionable choices that most reasonable people object to.
citizenofmanassas said on 23 Apr 2012 at 5:20 pm:
Sometimes a fresh face and ideas is a good thing for local politics. I'm not concerned with Jerry not having experence in politics. People have to start somewhere and why not with a Council position?
Anonymous said on 23 Apr 2012 at 5:42 pm:
Yes! Jerry Carman has no experiences as an elected official. We should require that all the city council members have served in the state senate, or at least as a Delegate for at least two terms before they're considered qualified to be a city councilman.
Great idea. Jackson Miller for Council! The ONLY qualified candidate!
Maureen said on 23 Apr 2012 at 6:43 pm:
I was under the impression that Jerry Carmen had Something at work that he couldn't get out of.
I never hear a word when incumbents won't show up to forums.
I do believe this will be a very interesting election.
Jon Wong said on 23 Apr 2012 at 7:02 pm:
Steve Chapman supporters plunkering for Lovejoy and Carman= CooCoo Board!
Doug Brown said on 23 Apr 2012 at 7:56 pm:
Jon Wong any relation to Jon Way or is that the Wong Way?
CityTaxpayer2 said on 24 Apr 2012 at 5:53 am:
Steve Chapman's previous experience would have made him a more qualified candidate for council, than is Carman.
Pinky said on 24 Apr 2012 at 6:47 am:
Sheryl Bass likes to look at her self in the mirror and Mark Wolfe has his hand in my wallet. Who needs more of that in politics experience or not?
G Man said on 24 Apr 2012 at 7:34 am:
You Bass-akwards supporters are so transparent. Bass has nothing to offer so instead of trying to build her up your game plan is to try to tear down the candidate you believe is most vulnerable on every website. Sad!

Hey All.
Check the Harrover fake blog - he has fakes posing as conservatives trashing seton school and prolifers - shows what they are really all about - haters who are closed minded and running for their political lives!
School Street Resident said on 24 Apr 2012 at 8:22 am:
It was clear last night to the long time residents of School and Jefferson Streets and Old Wellington Road that we were united against this "trail of trouble". Clear to was that Andrew Harrover and Mark Wolfe and Sherry Bass and their rich white friends, many who don't even live in the City, want to shove this $600,000 trail down our throats. Thank you Mayor Parrish, Couniclman Way and Aveni and candidates Lovejoy, Carman, and Sutherland for your support of our grassroot efforts!
bigbikeseat said on 24 Apr 2012 at 12:49 pm:
Harrover site is down. He is claiming he got hacked. Funny how that happens everytime someone calls out his fake posts?

His blog did not get hacked. He shut it down because some posters were using the names of other posters.

may ferris said on 27 Apr 2012 at 3:23 pm:
ABOUT THE CANDIDATE MARK WOLFE: After reading such disgusting things about Mark Wolfe and his dance company over the past several years, my spouse and I decided not to put our children through that mess. But that doesn't mean I don't support the arts or financial aid to the arts. One rotten apple doesn't spoil the barrel (even though it seems as if Mr. Wolfe has done his best to spoil the whole thing for us all). I'll never vote for the man.
But if we can invest thousands of dollars into a chic Fairfax-owned Hylton Center where the profits are re-invested into GMU salaries (oh yes!), and if we're going to pour thousands of dollars into another charitable ("humanistic") venture to learn about tanks (the wartime museum – check out the ED's salary!), at least we can do something to raise our kids with some artistic sensibility and insight. I don't want to be ashamed of my county and city because their leaders are just hayseed bumpkins with political agendas. I want my children to have some pride in having grown up in a place where they learned to use their minds - and not just their crocodile public smiles.
Bill Hogan said on 29 Apr 2012 at 2:49 pm:
Is it true what I read about Charles Sutherland over on the Patch? I hope it is just a hoax.
J. Bill said on 29 Apr 2012 at 8:36 pm:
It must be a hoax. Pretty crappy attempt to smear a man two days before the election. I'm certain Charles will debunk all this with the facts. Go get em Charles.
Greg L said on 29 Apr 2012 at 8:45 pm:
Someone tried to peddle some dirt to me about Charles, which had pretty obviously been obtained by one of those sleazy internet "background check" services that conflates everyone with the same or similar name in an area into one person. It was complete garbage, and the individual responsible for it is taking on some pretty substantial civil liabilities in trying to do this.
Just goes to show how desperate some in the establishment crowd can become when their grip on power is threatened. They've certainly demonstrated, if it wasn't already apparent by the way they've run Manassas City schools into the ground, that they're entirely unworthy of public support.
I'm sure there will be a story about this soon. I'm holding off until Charles has a chance to respond, should this irresponsible last-minute smear effort actually appear somewhere. So far there's just rumors that it showed up on patch at some point, but I haven't seen it.
(Folks, email me info about this rather than adding fuel to this smear effort by posting links to stuff.)

Chesapeake Arboretum North Loop is a 1 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Chesapeake, Virginia that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
wheelchair friendly
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
An extremely well maintained trail running north for about a half mile and then looping back. If combined with the south loop there is more than two miles of trail.
Very peaceful trails and very well maintained. I love getting lost for a few hours here and exploring the side trails.
What a beautiful park. The trails are very well maintained and this northern loop is wide and I think accessable all the way. There are benches about every tenth of a mile so somebody who could not walk very far could sit often. If I had to find a fault it would be the noise. The trails are never far from roads so there is always auto sounds even if you cannot see them.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A slow drive over speed bumps on a 50-degree January day offered the usual close-up of Notre Dame's Guglielmino Athletics Complex, and with it came expected confirmation that, no, there are no bridges attached to the thing.
So now it's a matter of how many, if any, Brian Kelly needs to build.

Aria's SWIFT Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a fast and a risk-free IVR modernization solution that includes SWIFT methodology, hardware, software, professional services and support.
Save on costs related to support, resources, and project implementation
Many contact centers haven't upgraded their IVRs for over 10 years. They spend extensive amount of time on implementing, testing and deploying basic IVR changes – due to a complex code and a lack of consistent documentation. IVR modernization with Aria can help reduce the IT costs.
Most savings come from Aria's IVR migration tool that allows less coding effort. The tool takes the design (call flow) and translates it into part of the code. This ensures accurate documentation, which eliminates the need in updating it manually, and enables IT teams to free up sooner and focus on more critical projects.
Improve customer experience through modern IVR capabilities
Postponing the IVR upgrade and operating call center with an outdated IVR leaves customers with a robotic, hard-to-navigate solution, which delays customers from getting the service they called for. Businesses put pressure on their IT teams to add modern capabilities like personalization, digital, Virtual IVR, and customer journey analysis to better serve and engage with customers. These capabilities can be added with a modern IVR.
Make future changes to the IVR faster
Aria's IVR solution is easy to alter due to accurate and consistent documentation. This provides confidence in the solution and make it more reliable.

Alright family and friends!!!!
This week I got stung by a caterpillar thing. haha. It's big caterpillar that had hairs all over it that is white, it looks a lot like cotton. I didn't know what it was and it was one my pant leg. I thought it was a clump of dog hair or something. It wasn't..... So when I touched it, it's hairs go like porcupines and they sting like a wasp. My whole hand hurt that day and had bumps like from a bee. They are pretty powerful suckers. Cause it put my whole arm asleep. Or like when you get a shot and its sore. Also gave me a headache and I was super tired. haha. They also say if you get stung 3 times you have to go to the hospital to get it all treated. But I got lucky! I just kept working and finished the day and after 2 more days everything is all better. Never thought a caterpillar would be so dangerous. Also this wednesday im going to get my cyst taken out. We are gonna have interviews with are new president on Wednesday also. We will see what happens cause I have to go get the cyst taken out.
This week went rather well! We found 9 new people to teach. 2 new families of 3 and 2 people that are in Part member families and one other we contacted. This week we have 3 baptisms set. Hopefully we will have 4th also but we will see what happens. One of them is a grandma named Teresa. She has come to church and obeyed all the commandments. She gave us her coffee when we taught her the word of wisdom and has gone to church when we have invited. Also with her son named Carlos who had problems with alcohol but also left it behind when he started talking to us. He also works in a bakery and makes bread! Here it's called sweet bread. It's all homemade and has a type of frosting on top. I'll try and take some pictures this week to show you guys. It's super good though. Its not like the bread back home but its super good.
The other one is named Mauricio. He is in the part member family he's gone to church a lot and knows it's true. We are gonna help him be baptized this week. The other one that is hopeful is name Jose Luis. He is a 17 year old. Honestly a super good kid and has a testimony that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. But what happened is he drank coffee a week ago. So with the rules, he has to wait 3 weeks. But he only did it to stay awake because he was taking care of his aunt who was dying. He had to stay up all night in case anything happened he could help. Is aunt died the next day. SO it was kind of an interesting story. He told us he didn't even want to drink it but he did it so he could take care of his aunt. So we have to talk to president to see what happens.
I'm doing good and am happy with everything that is happening right now. Just working harder learning more and more how to help my district and hopefully I'm getting better too hahaha. No I've gotten a little better but I gotta keep working at it.
Love you guys,
Elder Hakes

Infusing alternative rock with solid riffs, Stone Temple Pilots teased out elements from Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Sex Pistols, and others into their own thing. For their trouble, they were often slammed by critics and purists, but adored by fans and radio programmers.
The band's 1992 debut, Core, took a little while to warm up, but once it started its ascent, it was nearly unstoppable. Tunes like "Sex Type Thing," "Wicked Garden," and "Plush" demonstrated that they deserved both the negative and positive reviews as they did indeed openly borrow from their predecessors; but they did so in an impossibly catchy way. The set went on to sell more than three million copies.
STP heard those voices and responded with a collection of psychedelia- and grunge-tinged tunes that were melodic as all get out. When Purple was released in 1994, it went to number one. "Vasoline," "Interstate Love Song," "Big Empty" ... these were the entries into evidence offered up that STP deserved its success.
Sadly, after making those inroads so quickly, front man Scott Weiland fell prey to heroin addiction. A 1995 arrest for possession landed him in rehab. Once he got out, the band went back into the studio, emerging with Tiny Music...Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop in '96.
The effort debuted at number four on the Billboard album chart. The accompanying tour was derailed by Weiland's relapse and second stab at rehab. Without the tour support, the album stalled at a million sales.
Over the next couple of years, Weiland issued his 12 Bar Blues solo set, as the rest of the band worked with singer Dave Coutts on the Talk Show album.
Then, STP was back with No. 4 in 1999 only to have Weiland thrown in the pokey for violating his probation. Once he got out, though, Stone Temple Pilots were on seemingly solid footing for 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da. For their Thank You greatest-hits collection in 2003, STP added one new track, "All in the Suit That You Wear."
And, then, it was crickets as STP went on hiatus for five years. Weiland spent the time fronting Velvet Revolver until he got himself booted from the group. Back with Stone Temple Pilots, a 2008 reunion tour sold very well and led to an eponymous album in 2010.

For a thousand years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive and threatening races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the furies – elementals of earth, air, fire, water, and metal. But now, Gaius Sextus, First Lord of Alera, grows old and lacks an heir. Ambitious High Lords plot and maneuver to place their Houses in positions of power, and a war of succession looms on the horizon. Far from city politics in the Calderon Valley, the boy Tavi struggles with his lack of furycrafting. At fifteen, he has no wind fury to help him fly, no fire fury to light his lamps. Yet as the Alerans' most savage enemy – the Marat – return to the Valley, he will discover that his destiny is much greater than he could ever imagine.
The cover of the edition that I read stated that Furies of Calderon was inspired by Tolkien. In some ways, I see that, I guess. I really thought it was more reminiscent of A Song of Ice and Fire series with a bit of Avatar: The Last Airbender and maybe a little bit of Pokémon thrown in, but in a good way.
It started out a little slow, but once I got to Chapter 10, it became a page turner. I just had to know what was going to happen next because, by that point, I cared about the characters so much. Butcher includes plenty of plot twists, which really kept me guessing and one of things I look for in a book is the ability of the author to keep me guessing. It got to the point that, after I had been surprised by so much, nothing would surprise me, if that makes any sense. I definitely can't wait to read the rest of the series!
I recommend this to fans of High/Epic Fantasy, especially if you like George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Five stars!

Telluride 2011: Press Asked to Refrain From Photographing George Clooney at Indoor Events
Organizers say it was their decision to keep shutterbugs away from events involving the actor.
George Clooney was the inadvertent subject of what one festival director called "a kerfuffle" early Friday when fest organizers informed press that there were not to be any photos taken at any Clooney events, including his Silver Medallion tribute Saturday. As it turned out, the fest's publicity team quickly clarified that it had been their decision to curtail access, not Clooney's. That turned out to be obvious at the Patrons Brunch later in the day, where Clooney genially took photographs with the small mob that he attracted upon entering the grounds.
STORY: George Clooney, Alexander Payne In House For 'The Descendants' Screening
Alexander Payne, Werner Herzog, Ken Burns, Lynne Ramsay, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Jim Burke, Agnieszka Holland and, yes, Clooney strolled the lawn at the Grey Head Ranch above the Telluride Airport Friday just before the Telluride Film Festival was about to start. The occasion was the annual brunch, and the location and weather couldn't have been more heavenly.
Sundance fest director John Cooper, Leonard Maltin, Peter Goldwyn and Michael De Luca were also on-hand to chat animatedly about the movies they hoped to see over the following three days. Among the most mentioned were Michel Hazanavicius's The Artist, Steve McQueen's Shame and Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi's A Separation.
STORY: Why Telluride's Secret Lineup Works
Inarritu, who showed his film Biutiful in 2010, brought his family this year and said he was hoping to break his previous record of seeing 12 films in three days. Payne's enthusiasm was just as palpable. When asked if he planned to see other movies this weekend even though his new one, The Descendants, would keep him occupied, he joked, "Are you kidding? The fact that I have a film here is a nuisance."

Fern Hawthorne
1912 - 2017
Obituary of Fern Hawthorne
Hawthorne, Fern Irene - Long-time Ridgetown resident and retired public school teacher Fern Hawthorne passed away on Wednesday August 9, 2017 in her 106th year. Fern was born on the family farm outside of Milverton, Ontario in Perth County in 1912 to parents the late John and Euphemia (nee Davis) Roulston. She married her husband the late Thomas Howard Hawthorne in 1934. Fern is the precious mother of John and Shirley Hawthorne of Dresden and Jim and Marjorie Hawthorne of Ridgetown. She was very well loved by her grandchildren Dave Hawthorne of London, Heather Hawthorne of Kingston, Jim Jr. (Colleen) Hawthorne of Ridgetown, Michael (Mary Ann) Hawthorne of Ridgetown, Mark (Leslie Meredeth) Hawthorne of London, and Rob (Marlene Morris) Hawthorne of Ridgetown. Adored great-grandmother of Tyler (Elisabeth), Kara, Hayley, Kristy, Ryan, Grace, Austin and Sydney. Great-Great grandmother of Morgan.
Predeceased by her siblings Rita Bell, Ralph Roulston, Robert Roulston, Tom Roulston, and George Roulston.
Sister-in-law of Jackie Schoenhals and Ruth Roulston. Will be missed by many nieces and nephews.
Fern has seen and experienced some of the most significant moments of the last century - the end of World War I, Spanish influenza, the depression, World War II, the economic boom and prosperity of the 1950s, through the rock and roll era, and into today.
One of her early memories is at age six leading the local doctor through her parents' home, going room to room with a coal oil lamp to check each of her family members infected by the 1918 influenza.
In her generation she's gone from coal oil lamps to electricity, from slow travel to fast cars; from print and radio as the only way to communicate, to telephones, t.v.'s and computers. "I think one of the most significant changes I've seen is in the mode of transportation," said Fern. "When I was a child we travelled by horse and buggy. My father was one of the first in our neighbourhood to buy a car. I remember all of us climbing on the running board and laughing. It was so new. It used to take so long to travel from one place to another and now you can go anywhere in the world in a matter of hours."
Fern's father chose her profession. When asked, he told a visiting relative that she would be a teacher. "I wasn't consulted in the decision, but it turned out to be a wonderful career," said Fern, "and a wonderful opportunity to help a lot of children." She taught for 36 years starting in the tiny one-room school house in Gad's Hill in Perth County. She was 17, and had just graduated from the Stratford Normal School, one of four schools built in Ontario in the early 1900s to train teachers to educate children in rural communities. "If you look at the class photo for that year you'll see that I wasn't much older than the kids I was teaching. You can hardly tell which one is the teacher."
Fern taught mostly grade one classes in Blenheim and in Ridgetown. After she retired in 1976 she travelled the world from Russia, to China, Greece, Denmark, British Isles, Europe, the Caribbean islands and most of Canada and the United States.
An avid reader since she was a child, Fern can recite poetry she memorized in public school more than 95 years ago. Give her a line and she'll finish the poem for you.
A Private Family Graveside Service will be held at Greenwood Cemetery at a later date. Donations in memory of Fern may be made to the Village on the Ridge Residents Council or the Ridgetown Salvation Army. Online condolences may be left at www.mckinlayfuneralhome.com
McKinlay Funeral Home, 76 Main St. E., Ridgetown

The Orfalch Echor was the ravine of the Dry River in the Encircling Mountains, the route by which the hidden city of Gondolin was approached. At its lower end was the Seventh Gate, the Gate of Steel and at the upper end was a high sward that offered a view of Tumladen and the city in its center.[1]

Ah, that lovely Semitic wisdom.
Really funny but Mel's got a drinking problem that he needs to fix and probably a bunch of emotional problems that he needs to deal with in therapy before the 'real mel' is ready to emerge.

Trump's Strong-Arming Jeb Bush Donor Is BULLYs–t
As the dustupping staff noted yesterday, Donald Trump mouthpiece Alan Garten sent a cease-and-desist letter to Jeb Bush mega-donor Mike Fernandez threatening legal action if he published this ad calling Trump a BULLYionaire. Regardless, the ad did run in the … Continue reading
Can 'BULLYionaire' Donald Trump Bully Jeb Bush Mega-Donor?
It's no secret that the Republican establishment (and their Goon Squad of PACmen) is afraid to attack Donald Trump, in spite of his increasingly hair-brained pronouncements. Except for Mike Fernandez. The drama started to unfold in Politico a few days ago. Bush's biggest donor: … Continue reading

This is one of a series of previews for the 2015 Philly lacrosse season
High School: Cherry Hill East
League: Olympic Conference, New Jersey
Head Coach: Erick Wood, 11 years
Last year's record: 6-10, lost in 1st round, 9-12 vs. South Brunswick
Key returnees:
Brandon Stern (M)
Ian Sheekey(A)
Chris Hammerquist(M)
Jesse Viggiano(G)
Brian Stamm(D))
Outlook for 2015 season: "On paper we look like a team that should make a deep run into the playoffs. The key is going to be keeping the newspapers out of the kid's hands and we should be successful."
St. Joseph's Prep
League: Catholic League
Head Coach: Andy German, 1st Year
Last year's record: 14-6
Key returnees:
Michael Marchese (Goalie)
Stephen Bradley (Midfield)
Andrew Watts (Attack)
Christian Corcoran (Midfield)
Jack Monahan (Midfield)
Mike Shapiro (Midfield)
Luke O'Hara (Defense)
Mark Devine (Defense)
AJ Lucarini (Defense)
Outlook for 2015 season: "The expectations are high this spring for the 2015 season. We have a lot of seniors who have stepped up this year and have taken to a new coach and a new system which is not always easy to do at this point in their careers. As we start the year, there will be some ups and down, but with Michael Marchese (Notre Dame) in goal, hopefully he can mask some of the early season hiccups that are inevitable. He has been playing excellent so far and is a great leader for the defense and the team as a whole. Captains Andrew Watts (Elizabethtown), Christian Corcoran, and Stephen Bradley (Scranton), along with all the seniors have embraced their leadership roles and when we combine them with a very talented junior class, the outlook is promising."
Lansdale Catholic
Head Coach: Sean Gracey, 3rd Season
Last year's record: 7-12 (4-6)
Key players lost: Justin Cook (M,f/o), Dom Moscariello
Top returning players:
Ryan McDonald- Sophomore (D)
Grady Kelly- Sophomore (A)
Phillip White- Junior (M)
Bobby Bausman- Sophomore (G)
Other players to watch:
Joe Walsh- Sophomore (A)
PJ O'Connor, Freshman (M)
Andrew McClintock- Senior (D)
Outlook for 2015 season: "Lansdale Catholic looks to its defense to anchor a team loaded with young talent. With 3 seniors, 3 juniors, 19 sophomores, and 11 freshmen it will look to its underclassmen to mature and develop in a strong Catholic League in 2015 that boasts perennial power teams in LaSalle and St. Joe's Prep as well as a strong Archbishop Ryan and Archbishop Wood squads. LC will use its out of conference schedule to prepare its young talent for the future, facing C.B. West and Abington."

Juan Manuel Fangio II, nephew of the five-time world champion driver from Argentina, grabbed the lead on the first lap and went on to an easy victory Sunday in the Mazda InterAmerican Challenge through the streets of downtown Miami.
Willy T. Ribbs, who earlier in the day won a 30-lap GTO division race on the 1.85-mile, 12-turn course, started from the pole in one of the 22 identically prepared Mazda RX-7s. But Fangio slipped past Ribbs at the end of the first straightaway and led the rest of the way in the 17-lap event. Fangio`s uncle was the Formula One world champion in 1951 and from 1954 through 1957.

Arrests at 2 Albany parties with underage drinking
ALBANY — For the sixth time since November, city police have broken up a party at an overcrowded apartment in Pine Hills where underage partygoers were drinking alcohol.
At 12:10 a.m. Sunday, police found more than 300 people crammed into an apartment at 547 Washington Ave. while responding to a call for a fight in the area, said Officer James Miller.
Inside the apartment several people under the age of 21, including one person who was 15, were drinking from kegs of beer, Miller said.
Police arrested Yeaton Williams, who lives at the apartment, for unlawfully dealing with a child and providing alcohol to minors. Williams, 24, had tried to sneak out the door when police arrived, said Miller, adding that Williams advertised the party on Facebook and charged a fee at the door.
Earlier last week, a few houses down the street from the Williams' apartment, police arrested a 20-year-old city man for allegedly serving alcohol to minors.
In that incident on Feb. 25, police went to 535 Washington Ave. for a complaint of loud noise that could be heard blocks away, Miller said, officers allegedly found Adam Biron serving alcohol to people under the age of 21.
Biron was charged with unlawfully dealing with a child and violating the city's noise ordinance.
Earlier last month police made arrests at three parties in Pine Hills where underage students were drinking. In November, police also broke up a large house party on Washington Avenue. The crackdown on parties comes nearly one year after the infamous "kegs and eggs" near-riot in Pine Hills, the pre-St. Patrick's Day melee that was captured on cell phone video and resulted in dozens of arrests and citations.

The Long Beach Civic Center by Louise Ivers 2008
The Long Beach Civic Center has gone through many changes over the last 120 years. The first City Hall was in the Tower Building at Ocean and Pacific Avenues when Long Beach was incorporated in 1888. In 1899 Henry F. Starbuck, a trained architect who lived in Long Beach, designed an imposing brick building with a classical temple front on Pacific Avenue, which contained the City offices on the first floor and the Library on the second floor. The Fire Station was behind the building. In 1907-09 a Library funded by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie and designed by Franklin P. Burnham of Los Angeles was constructed in what was known as Pacific Park, donated to the city by the Long Beach Land and Water Company in 1905. Also in the neoclassical mode, it had a portico with paired Doric columns. Damaged in the earthquake of 1933, it was remodeled in 1936-37 by local architects D. Easton Herrald and Edward F. Mayberry in a more simplified style with fluted piers. In 1915 Pacific Park was renamed Lincoln Park when a statue of Abraham Lincoln, a replica of the one in Chicago by the famous American artist Augustus St. Gaudens, was erected. By 1920 the city had outgrown the 1899 City Hall and commissioned W. Horace Austin, the "dean" of Long Beach architects, and his former partner, civil engineer Harvey H. Lochridge, to design a new structure. This eight story classical building had an arcaded entrance and four domed towers and was completed in 1923. It sustained some damage in the earthquake and was remodeled by local architect Cecil Schilling and engineer C. D. Walles with Art Deco details in 1933-34. The City Hall was complemented by the Municipal Utilities Building of 1931-32, an Art Deco structure designed by local architects Warren Dedrick and Earl Bobbe with reliefs by Merrell Gage, a noted Los Angeles sculptor, and the Veterans Memorial Hall of 1936-37 by another local architect, George W. Kahrs. These three Modernistic buildings together with the Library constituted the Civic Center which was constructed around and in Lincoln Park. A farmers' market was also set up along one side of the park where the vendors sold foods of many nations. The 1899 City Hall was moved across from the 1923 building and was used as offices for the Public Utilities department.
By 1947 the city was experiencing growing pains again and Hugh R. Davies, another noted Long Beach architect, proposed a design for a sixteen story City Hall. His project was a Modern glass skyscraper that was four times as large as the remodeled building by Schilling and Walles. However, it was not constructed. In 1973 the city commissioned a consortium of local firms headed by Hugh and Donald Gibbs and called the Allied Architects to design a new Civic Center. The present City Hall and Library, completed in 1976-77, are examples of Late Modern architecture. These types of buildings were an extension of the "ideas and forms of the Modern Movement... exaggerating the structure and technological image of the building in [an] attempt to provide... aesthetic pleasure," according to Charles Jencks in his seminal book, Late-Modern Architecture. Other examples of Late Modern architecture include John Portman's Bonaventure Hotel of 1974 in Los Angeles, William R. Pereira's Transamerica Building of 1968-72 in San Francisco, and Gibbs and Gibbs' Terrace Theater of 1978 in Long Beach. The Long Beach City Hall and Library complex was innovative for its time. The former structure contains fourteen stories of tinted glass supported by paired concrete piers at the corners and the latter once had rooftop planters and grass berms above reinforced concrete walls, retaining the park like aspect of the former Civic Center. The Allied Architects, Gibbs and Gibbs; Wing and Wing; Killingsworth, Brady and Associates; and Homolka and Associates, combined concrete, glass, and steel, as well as landscaping, in a design that spoke the language of Late Modernism.
Each of the Civic Center designs represented the best work of local architects over the years: from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Neoclassicism, to the Art Deco mode of the 1930s, to the Late Modern trend of the 1970s. The Long Beach architects of each period contributed imaginative solutions to the urban planning of Pacific/Lincoln Park, as well as signature buildings in and around it.

'Samantha Who?' vs. Dr. Dre: What Is ABC's Marketing Department Trying to Say?
ABC's new sitcom uses a famous Dr. Dre sample in its ad campaign.
Last night we came across a teaser for ABC's much-renamed Christina Applegate vehicle Samantha Who?, in which an amnesia victim living a Sex and the City–like life must discover her true identity, atone for past mistakes, etc. Like the Bourne movies, but for chicks. The teaser's background music features the horn line from the Dr. Dre song "What's the Difference," a Chronic 2001 track with guest verses from Xzibit and Eminem. (It's actually a sample from "Parce Que Tu Crois" by Charles Aznavour, but most viewers, like us, are more likely to be familiar with Dre's version.) Is this the kind of song with which you want your jaunty romantic comedy associated? After the jump, the two works of art compared. –Ben Mathis-Lilley
Samantha Who?
"What's the Difference"
|Uses of a specific slang term for African-Americans "banned" earlier this year by the New York City Council
|Do characters "give a fuck"?
|It appears so.
|No (made clear several times).
|Representative dialogue
|Samantha: "I thought you said I looked nice!"
Samantha's sassy mother: "You do … for a hooker!"
|Eminem: "I don't know if I ever told you this, but I love you, dawg. I got your motherfuckin' back, just know this shit."
Dre: "Slim, I don't know if you noticed it, but I've had your back from day one. Nigga, let's blow this bitch."
|Best line
|Xzibit: "What's the difference between me and you?/About five bank accounts, three ounces,* and two vehicles."
*of marijuana
|Contains reference to beating unnamed individual in a hot tub with the discarded barrel of a sawed-off shotgun until he coughs up snot, then shooting him, creating bubbles of "mucus and hot water"?
|Not in the teaser, anyway.
|Contains jokes about breasts being fondled?
|Surprisingly, no.

It's been a long time since I packed for anything other than an overnight stay in the UK; my passport expired almost ten years ago (shocking, I know!) and the last time I actually left the country was to go to Venice in 2004.
I'm definitely of the opinion that you can have just as nice a time at home though, especially with the beautiful weather we've been having lately - Ali's got a week off in August, so we're going to try and head off somewhere for a few days, which means I've been thinking
You can search via designers, stores or items, and then filter according to budget, colour and fabric, making creating a cohesive collection super-easy. I used it to find my ten key pieces for a holiday wardrobe (above), and was pleasantly surprised to discover some brands and labels weren't as expensive as I'd previously thought - I also stumbled across some great new finds, which suited my pretty limited budget. Happy days!
1. The Maxi-Dress
A maxi-dress is one of the best things you'll ever take on holiday, simply because it can go from day to night with a quick change of accessories - and it's great if (like me) you're not keen on shorter hemlines.
White Stripe Bardot Maxi-Dress, £35, River Island
2. The Oversized Clutch
I'm not talking so big you need a trolley to wheel it along, but a decently sized bag that could easily hold all of your essentials for either the day or the evening.
Clutch Bag with Flap, £16, Zara
3. The Sunglasses
The sunglasses shape of the year this time around is most definitely the cat-eye (again!) - choose simple black with a hint of metal to make sure it works everywhere from the beach to the restaurant and beyond.
Gold Metal Cat-Eye Sunglasses, £15, ASOS
4. The Espadrilles
Espadrilles are one of the best types of holiday shoe, because they work absolutely everywhere; with a bikini and kimono by the pool, culottes and a cold-shoulder top for sightseeing and with your best holiday evening dress for dinner.
Ankle Strap Espadrilles, £17, Lost Ink at House of Fraser
5. The Denim Dress
If you only pack one thing (well, apart from your swimwear and undies!), make it a denim dress. It doesn't matter whether it's a shift, a dungaree-dress or a maxi-dress, denim is beautifully versatile - wear with a light jacket and sneakers during the day, and then add some statement jewellery and flat sandals for evening.
Light Blue Denim Shirt Dress, £19, River Island
6. The Tote Bag
I rarely ever use anything other than a tote, because I tend to carry so much stuff around with me, and they also seem to go with most outfits. Holiday-wise, they double brilliantly as a beach bag and also a day bag for sightseeing - plenty of room for everything from your suncream and guide book to beach towel and novel.
Striped Jute Tote Bag, £22, The Beach People
7. The Hat
Who doesn't love a big hat on holiday? Great for keeping the sun out of your eyes, hiding messy hair in photos and most importantly, preventing heat stroke. The bigger the better, I say!
Multi Stripe Sunhat, £15, Banana Republic
8. The Kimono
One of my favourite things to wear in the summer is a kimono; great when the clouds roll in, or for an evening outfit after the sun has gone down, they keep the chill off without making you too hot. Tassels are pretty much essential (well, I always think so!)
Denim Style Cotton Jacket, £40, Mango
9. The Scarf
A good scarf is the best accessory you'll take on holiday, I swear; as long as you make sure it's a perfect square, you can wear it as anything from a headscarf or sarong to a top. You could even actually wear it around your neck!
Black Cotton Tassel Scarf, £19, & Other Stories
10. The Sandals
Wherever you're going, it's a good idea to have some slightly more formal sandals or footwear, just in case you end up going to a nice restaurant, or somewhere that needs something other than espadrilles or flip-flops.
Franco Double Buckle Sandal, £42, Topshop
Many thanks to Lyst for partnering with me on this post.

Arua (Agenzia Fides) - "May the blessing of the our Risen Lord upon this country and those who govern it, both traditional and political leaders. May His Holy Spirit guide you towards the realization of the New Evangelization. Under the protection and prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Lady of the Missions and Queen of Evangelization, to whom the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples entrusts the Catholic Church in Uganda, may the power of the same Holy Spirit guide you in your Missio ad gentes for the benefit of the Church in Africa and, most especially, for the local Churches here." With these wishes, Cardinal Fernando Filoni, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, concluded his message at the end of the centenary of evangelization in northern Uganda (see Fides 12/12/2012 and following days). The closing celebration was held on Sunday, December 16 in Indriani, at the Holy Cross Pilgrim Centre.
"In rendering thanks to God, it is important to recall the countless faith-filled people who have worked in so many ways to advance the Catholic faith to where it is in Uganda today - the Cardinal said -. To mention them each by name would take a long time, but through each one of you here, I can see the work of your predecessors – be they Bishops, Clergy , Religious and Lay Faithful - who spent their lives to spread the Catholic faith in this region of the world". The Prefect of the Congregation stressed the "particular debt of gratitude to the Comboni Missionaries," who, in the early months of 1912 brought the gospel to this area. "The flourishing of the Church today is an eloquent tribute to the self-sacrifice offered by these Missionaries, and a credit to the tremendous willingness of the local people, who welcomed them and embraced the Faith." Cardinal Filoni also cited the esemplary witness given by St. Daudi Okelo and St. Jildo Irwa, catechists martyrs, pointing out that the spread of the Gospel in northern Uganda would not have been so successful without the generous work of catechists.
"While I offer well-deserved congratulations to you, as God's family, for the spiritual and social achievements already accomplished over the course of the last century in this area of Uganda - said the Cardinal Prefect -, I also wish to exhort you - Clergy, Religious and Lay Faithful - in this Year of Faith, to continue to deepen your Christian life through an ever more personal union with Christ in the Eucharist. In this great Sacrament, Jesus, Who is really present, will constantly strengthen you for the future missionary work to be done in this beautiful country and beyond. " (SL) (Agenzia Fides 17/12/2012)

A New Hope for Digital Communication
The short version:
We're gearing up to release a next-generation authoring tool. It blows the socks off of the linear word processors we've all been stuck using. It's inspired by years of work observing how we communicate, learn, and record ideas (and of course our experience with iAnnotate). We'll be launching the first version this summer.
Want to know more? Read on.
Since founding Branchfire, we've been guided by the belief that the word processor is holding us all back. The things we want to say and share rarely fit into words alone; real communication requires more.
iAnnotate was a step in that direction. All of you who use the product have helped us show that annotation–even the simple act of circling an important passage–can be a powerful way to communicate ideas. While we certainly have more in store for the app, our experience developing it has emboldened us (a tiny, bootstrapped company in Chicago) to imagine the future and take on even bigger challenges.
Over the past few years, we've seen the release of several "revolutionary" new authoring tools. But those tools have all been typing the same old tune, just with minor tweaks: word processing in the cloud or on the web, minimalist word processing, word processing with chat messaging, word processing with live collaboration.
I think all of that misses the point. Communication isn't just about processing words; it's also about capturing perspectives and creating relationships. Think about it: When we consume information on the Internet, we find it intuitive that everything is interconnected. If I'm browsing Wikipedia, I'm able to quickly access related content just by clicking links. The same is true for any good news website. These links to related information help us gain further understanding and context.
Obvious stuff, right?
What's remarkable to me, however, is that even though our consumption experience has come this far in the digital world, we still create and express our own ideas in a broken, disjointed fashion. We can share documents by attaching them to an email or by providing a link, but this does nothing to capture our perspective or how each of those documents and ideas are related. We waste a lot of time trying to explain relationships in words when what we need is a good way to show them.
That's the problem we're solving with a next-generation communication tool that enables people to create a guided tour of their documents and ideas. We call it Folia.
So, it's just a word processor with web-like links?
No—it's a lot more than that. Connections in Folia are more powerful than the links we use on the web. Links on the web are just hollow connections between two pages, they provide limited information about why the link exists or which specific parts of a linked document are relevant. Frankly, I think it's this limitation of HTML-style links that has prevented linking from becoming a more ubiquitous part of creating, writing, etc.
Since the early days of the web and Mosaic, many folks have made attempts at developing products that use links in composed documents. But the attempts have all failed for a few reasons:
- Linking only worked with particular file formats. Moreover, links were too easily broken if the linked-to (target) content changed or moved.
- Authors couldn't add their own comments and perspectives to links.
- User interfaces were far too complicated, requiring too many steps to do something that should have been intuitive and simple.
We've explicitly designed Folia to move beyond these limitations with traditional links to richer connections. These connections not only allow you to link between documents, they also allow you to add markups and comments to the connected documents themselves. Each connection allows you to capture a unique perspective. These connections may seem simple, and in a way they are, but you'll be amazed at what you can convey with such simple pieces.
Folia lets you work with most popular file types including content clipped from the web. Over the past year, we've spent countless hours streamlining the user interface to be as clean and simple as possible across multiple platforms.
Folia will be available this summer and we are very excited to take this journey with you. Stay tuned for updates at folia.com.

Remembeer is an Android application aimed at helping the casual beer taster keep track of beers that he has tried. It recently came out of public beta, where it was known as Beer Log in the Market. The app is fairly simple, but so is the idea. Upon first launch, users are prompted to enter a beer they are currently drinking or have recently enjoyed. You are allowed to input the name, container, and the time at which you drank it.
Each beer that is added shows up in a simple list displaying the name, beverage container, and time along with a rating which can be set after the beer has been added to the app's database. The app's settings allow you to set up notifications which aim to remind you to rate each beer you enter, though these did not work consistently for me. I've emailed the devs and they are looking in to it. I seem to be the first person with this issue. Update: This was fixed in version 1.0.3.
Interestingly, the application also supports posting each new beer you drink to Twitter automatically, using a template that you specify. There is also a Statistics screen which tells you your favorite beer and most drunk beers, favorite time to drink, and number of beers tasted.
The developers have let me know that the project is open source and that the code is distributed under the MIT license. Development is coordinated on this page and the source can be obtained using git. The issue tracker also lists several possible coming features, including photographs of beers you try, locations, and recommendations to friends. This seems to be a young, active project which will probably develop nicely as the version number creeps up.
Final Verdict
If you need to keep track of your beer tasting in a simple, casual way this app could be for you. While there may still be a few kinks to iron out for the devs, the app is completely usable in it's current form and is generally fun to use. Remembeer is currently in version 1.0.3.
- Simple interface
- Interesting statistics
- Twitter integration
- CSV import/export via email or file
- Responsive devs
- Open source
Needs Improvement:
- Rating system could be more robust (aroma, texture, etc, vs a simple 1-5 stars)
- Notifications did not work properly on my VZW Droid Eris with Android 2.1 (Fixed)
- History/Log screen does not group duplicate beers; no simple way to see an overview after extended use
Note: This review was submitted by J. Adam Morris as part of our app review contest.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A Heisman Trophy, a riveting playoff game, an international following.
Tim Tebow won all that in his football career.
On Saturday, he lost his third NFL job in 18 months. It might be hard to find another.
The quarterback with two big problems — throwing the ball and reading defenses — was cut by the New England Patriots less than 12 weeks after they signed him and just five days before the season.
But, as Tebow sees it, this long journey is not over.
"I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback," he tweeted.
Coach Bill Belichick gave the player whose profile was higher than his production what may have been his last chance when he signed him June 11, the day the Patriots' three-day minicamp began. And Tebow is grateful.
He thanked Belichick, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and owner Robert Kraft, who said last Tuesday he was "rooting" for Tebow but would let Belichick make the decision.
In his tweet, Tebow thanked the "entire Patriots organization for giving me the opportunity to be a part of such a classy organization."
Belichick didn't comment on Tebow's release as one of the Patriots' moves to reduce their roster to the regular-season limit of 53 players by 6 p.m. EDT Saturday.
But NFL.com analyst and former NFL executive Gil Brandt wasn't surprised.
"He has had a great career and I think it's probably time for him to admit that he just wasn't right up to NFL standards," Brandt said. "I'm sure that whatever he does in life he'll be a huge success."
Tebow was surely that at Florida, where he won the Heisman and two national championships while surrounded by talented teammates.
He was a success with Denver, for one season, when he went 7-1 in his first eight starts in 2011 then threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime to give the Broncos a 29-23 playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Tebow knelt on one knee — an expression of faith known as Tebowing — in the end zone.
But then a career of accomplishment descended into adversity.
Tebow led the Broncos into Foxborough the next weekend and lost 45-10 while completing barely a third of his passes.
He was traded to the New York Jets the following March and languished on the bench while coach Rex Ryan ignored fans' calls for Tebow to replace a struggling Mark Sanchez. Tebow threw just eight passes, ran only 32 times and was cut last April 29.
