Marketers know that consumers shift devices throughout the day, engaging with their brands by visiting a website, watching a video, downloading an app, making a purchase, or completing any other measurable conversion event. To reach these consumers wherever they are to drive brand interactions, marketers have long relied on deterministic, or login-based, approaches to reach consumers across devices.
But that approach is changing as a new method makes inroads—and allows marketers greater flexibility.
Deterministic has long been associated with the large social networks and Internet properties. These networks use consumer-provided data, including personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, birth dates, family members' names, interests, sexual orientation, political views and even medical history and credit card numbers. Solutions that rely on this kind of data have been thought to be the most accurate, so marketers bet on the deterministic model.
They started with Google, until Facebook came along and it became a two-horse race for where to place the majority of digital marketing dollars. It's almost a rehash of the beloved old IT department line, "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM," with the modern marketing version being, "Nobody ever got fired for buying ads on Facebook and Google." But now there's a viable alternative technology that's becoming the catalyst for shifting mindsets on this front.
This method is probabilistic, or prediction-based, technology. It involves collecting nonpermanent, user-resettable identifiers such as browser cookies and device IDs, and using big data applications and machine learning to correlate that information to predict device ownership, demographic information, interests and other attributes.
For years, marketers believed the myth that probabilistic identity was 50% to 70% accurate at best, and deemed deterministic, login-based solutions preferable. Until now, they had no way of comparing both solutions, so fear, uncertainty and doubt persisted. Recently, Nielsen tested the accuracy of the two leading probabilistic solutions, with both scores topping 90%, and Drawbridge coming in at 97.3%.
With two probabilistic heavyweights now weighing in with strong accuracy scores, the accuracy argument is losing steam. As the accuracy gap is being bridged between deterministic and probabilistic, this leaves cross-device scale, or potential audience reach, as the main differentiating factor between the two methods. But even the perceived gap in scale is narrowing—and so is the difference in the number of addressable consumers for each method.
Facebook is the undisputed leader in active cross-device consumer reach with over 1 billion users logging in across devices on a regular basis. Google is also a large player, as are Yahoo! and Twitter, each with hundreds of millions of recognized cross-device consumers. Probabilistic solutions easily reach these levels—and now we know they can do it with deterministic-like accuracy. Because probabilistic models are built on data signals from ad requests across the Web, and aren't limited to closed, walled gardens, the potential scale is much larger than any single deterministic environment.
With probabilistic accuracy being benchmarked, it's hoped that mindsets that shun probabilistic methods across the board will start to change. An example of that mindset is when Jon Hook, former head of mobile at Mediacom, said, "I spend a lot of time trying to answer the question: 'Why aren't clients spending on cross-screen advertising?' You're still struggling to nail cross-screen unless you are Facebook or Google. Otherwise, it can end up seeming like a very expensive game of 'Guess Who?'." I think we need a shift in thinking here, and I hope these recent developments start changing these mindsets. Cross-screen is not a struggle for technology providers—it's ready for mainstream brand budgets.
Speaking of data being made available, probabilistic identity solutions enable marketers to leverage their own customer data in addition to identity data to get a complete picture of their customers across devices—bridging desktop data to mobile devices or mobile data to desktop devices. In this sense, probabilistic identity has the ability to be democratized across the Web on just about any connected device. And probabilistic identity solutions can solve the dilemma of cross-device attribution—for both online and offline conversion events.
Armed with accurate cross-device information at scale from a probabilistic provider, marketers can gain greater insights into their customers and learn how to best engage with them in order to drive better results. With comparable precision and scale, probabilistic solutions are now a force against the walled-garden environments of deterministic players.

SINNER/S Baguio: My First Spoken Word Show Experience
So I just came home from SINNER/S: BAGUIO – A Spoken Word Show and Open Mic Night, my first spoken word show and I'm still at a loss for words. That's probably a funny thing to say, since when I got home, I went directly to my room, opened my laptop, and now, I'm currently writing a post about it. I just CAN'T not write about this as soon as I got home. I was tired from the long day I've had, but the urge is greater, my friends.

Reba McEntire is one of country music's biggest stars and it's easy to think that singing is all she ever did, the way she sings!
But this clip shows off another aspect of this beautiful and incredibly talented lady - her rodeo skills!
Some people may not know this, but Reba McEntire comes from a family of champion steer ropers, and was herself a barrel racer competing in many rodeos before being discovered while singing the national anthem at a 1975 rodeo in Lubbock, Texas.
While she doesn't compete anymore, this clip shows she's still got it, as she shows off for the crowd at a rodeo which she was a host for. She looks like she's having the best time, too!

Thousands of people in St. Louis ride MetroBus (Bi-State bus) every day. In addition, thousands of school children ride school buses throughout Missouri on school days. Unfortunately, some of these buses will be involved in bus accidents. School bus accidents are the scariest of all because of the vulnerable nature of their passengers. When the news reports a Missouri school bus accident, it commands the front page because of the understandable concern about the safety of our children.
Bus accidents can result in terrible injuries to bus passengers, pedestrians struck by a bus and other vehicle occupants as well. These injuries include head injuries, brain injuries and neck and back injuries, as well as other injuries. The victims of these accidents are often left with large medical bills, lost wages and permanent injury.
When a negligent driver or company causes serious injury to a bus passenger they must be held accountable for the damage and harm they have inflicted through their actions. Missouri bus accident lawyer Robert A. Strauss has assisted many bus passengers in obtaining the compensation they deserve for injuries sustained in bus accidents. If you have been injured in a Missouri bus accident, call toll free (800) 991-8688 for a free consultation with Mr. Strauss.
According to Department of Transportation records, between the years 2000 and 2008 there were 99,000 bus injury crashes. These bus crashes resulted in 236,000 persons injured. There were 2,558 fatal bus accidents between 2000 and 2008 involving all types of buses. Of this number, 1,002 involved school buses, 297 involved cross-country or inter-city buses and 1,208 involved transit buses. For more statistical information click here.
Buses that carry passengers are considered common carriers under federal and state laws. Bus operators must comply with certain safety and driving standards. Therefore, a bus accident may involve issues that are more complex than an ordinary automobile accident. For examples of the many regulations applicable to carriers who transport passengers click here. The Missouri personal injury lawyer representing the victims of a bus accident needs to be familiar with the various regulations and laws that apply to common carriers.
Following a bus crash, a bus accident lawyer will undertake an investigation to determine the facts and cause of the bus accident. The bus crash may be the result of the negligence of several different entities. The bus driver may be at fault in the way he or she operated the bus; the bus company operating the bus may be liable either as the employer for the driver or for some other negligent act; and, the company responsible for bus maintenance may be liable. Bus accidents may be the result of overzealous bus drivers trying to stay on schedule or the negligence of other motor vehicle operators. Whatever the cause or causes of the bus accident, the victims need an experienced personal injury lawyer to investigate the cause and to pursue the parties responsible.
If you have been injured in a bus accident contact attorney Robert A. Strauss for a free consultation. Your claim will be handled on a No Fee if No Recovery basis. If you would like to discuss your claim with Mr. Strauss, please email or call toll free at (800) 991-8688.
Mr. Strauss serves clients from the areas of St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles, Farmington, Troy, Fredericktown, Potosi, Owensville, Hillsboro, Warren County, Jefferson County, Franklin County, St. Francois County, Washington County, Lincoln County and most other cities and counties within the State of Missouri.

These days, 80% of my conversations are with either confused customer service agents or my eight-year old, and generally, the eight-year old has a higher quality discourse. We were talking tonight about her latest fascination, the 80's adventure cartoon "Jem," and how she has a cool pink roadster with her name on it, which stemmed into a discussion of cool superhero's cars. The Quinjet, the Fantasticar, even the much-maligned Supermobile all had one thing in common: They looked AWESOME, even if they made no sense.
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, "misquoted") is this: What's the coolest pop-culture mode of transport? KITT? The Batmobile? Inspector Gadget's helicopter hat?
37 Comments
I would have to say any of the vehicles that were in MAMAMAMA M.A.S.K. I always wanted the motorcycle that turned into a helicopter.
I immediately thought the same thing. The idea that you could open the gul-wing doors of your sports car and it could fly as if they were wings is stupid awesome!
Original Tron Light Cycles. (Or Flynn's custom cycle.)
Although the M.A.S.K. copter-cycle was pretty awesome.
Ever since I could drive, I've always wanted to have access to a Transporter from Star Trek. I would be running late getting home and think "Man if I just had a Transporter I would be home right now and not get in trouble" :)
non-Batmobile……A-Team Van.
The transporter from Trek is hard to beat as a means of getting around.
For me it's gotta be the jet "The Mirage" from silver hawks. You could get around really fast and when you wanted to you could cloak half the ship.
Falkor for the win.
: )
Back to the Future's Delorean.
The Tardis. I'm not even that huge of a Dr. Who fan, but it's hard to beat a police box that's capable of going anywhere, any time, is far larger inside than out, and makes an awesome sound when it appears.
Either that or Snoopy's doghouse when he uses it as a Sopwith Camel.
I've got a four-way tie for personal favorites, in no particular order:
– The Doctor's TARDIS
– The DeLorean from Back to the Future
– The Millennium Falcon
– Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters
But if I had to choose one, it's the TARDIS.
Legion Flight Ring for me
1 word:
It's got sooo much eagle in it!
TARDIS, it's a multi-leveled house that can travel through time and space, takes less parking space then a hybrid and runs on a near infinite energy source, oh and it regenerates.
Gotta be the Ark II. Ever since I was a wee lad I've dreamed of driving a giant Winabago meets Oscar Meyer Wienermobile around an apocalyptic wasteland with a chimp named Adam
It has to be the 60s TV show Batmobile. Sure, it was just a Lincoln Futura with the middle of the bubble top removed, bat scallops cut into the tail fins, and few idiotic details glued to the thing, but it was the coolest thing on the TV show! Runner up would be James Bond's Austin Martin with the missles, ejection seat, absolutely useless bullet proof shield that pops out of the trunk, Ben-Hur hubcap tire slicers, and other gadgets. Corgi used to make a marvelous diecast toy of it that had all the features working, but my parents never got it for me, boo hoo. Third place would be the airplane/car/submarine/rocket ship from Fireball XL-5. These things all impressed me so much as a kid that I still remember them half a century later! Things like Kit the talking car and the Tardus just can't compete.
* If you wonder why I said the bullet proof shield on James Bond's Austin was useless, it's because what good did it do to have a steel plate rise up to cover the back window when none of the rest of the car was armored against bullets?
I generally agree with Prospero and Ricco. Although I must also give a retro shout-out to "The Train" from Wild-Wild-West. Before steam and gearpunk, there was that gadget filled steam train James and Artemis cruised around (and entertain) in. Coal fired coolness. :n)
All great choices, but they aren't going to beat the General Lee!
A better question: which was the worst?
I can't decide between the Spidermoibile and Speed Buggy…
The 89′ Batmobile.
Clearly the Winchester's 67 impala needs to get a shout out here. Weapons in the trunk, legos in the dash.
Mach-5. There is no other answer.
How about the Guardian Beast Dragon Caesar from Zyurangers, you know, the Green Dragonzord to everyone else except Matthew and myself :) ?
A drill for a tail, missiles, a total offroad package, and when I lose my keys, I can just call it up with my dagger!
The TARDIS
You can't leave out the Mystery Machine…. If my wife would let me, I'd paint a van to match…. and drive it around wearing an ascot.
I'd probably say the TARDIS but the Legion flight ring and time bubble run close second and third.
In reality a vintage Impala like the Winchesters' in Supernatural would be awesome to have!
Always was a fan of the "Landmaster" from Damnation Alley
The G-Force/Gatchaman Phoenix
The tv-series Batmobile was my first thought, but if we are talking my eight-year-old self it was either the Mystery Machine or the Flintstone's car.
Well my gut reaction was hot rod from transformers "if your gonna ride Danno, ride in style" and I've always been a fan of carpet from Aladdin, but the dalorean is absolutely the right answer.

Rutgers Gardens Via Heylar Woods Trail is a 1.7 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near New Brunswick, New Jersey that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
Rutgers Garden is a 0.8 mile trail located near New Brunswick, New Jersey. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for hiking.
Nice walk and many things to do by the trail head
Fourth visit to RU Gardens. Beautiful scenery and easy trails for pups. Family oriented and the staff is very helpful.
Went for an evening walk after work, very pretty area and a lot of different trails to explore. This should be rated as an easy trail.
Fun walk along the water. Very muddy today.
Awesome trail !
beautiful area
This isn't a hike as much as it is a walk through a lovely wooded area.
I loved this little park. It is so pretty. My dogs loved it to. I have not been back in a few years but I was fascinated by it. Wish I could post the pictures I had but they are not in this phone. Wish it were a longer trail and closer to my home. And I agree with the previous post. It is not really moderate. I would call it easy.
Melissa E.
This is definitely an easy trail and not moderate. I took my two kids, one of their friends and the friends Mom. The kids had fun climbing over fallen trees. We mixed the red and yellow trails during the late afternoon. The weather was perfect and it was a nice leisurely hike.
Small pretty park with wonderful gardens
Pine trees remind me of being back in Maine. Not a lot to hike though here
Wish there was more markings but very pretty overall
Went earlier in the day with my lab. Not many people which was a good thing bc I off leashed him. A very zig zag trail. Not the easiest to read
Close to home hike. I live nearby so I go for a quick jog through the woods, but beware if you're traveling from elsewhere. Students kind of trash the trails with garbage, lots of graffiti. Sad because the views of the raritan are pretty nice as is the forest.
close to home and we did about 4 miles through the greens and the trails. trails not marked well but if you get "lost" its easy to find the way back.
scenic and fun .. great for a hike with a few friends..
4/14/14 took under an hour. there are two red marked trails and a yellow trail. We mixed it up. starting at the sign (which I put out a cigarette which someone left to burn) taking the double red marked trail up toward rt1 taking the wide path past the pines. down under the bridge stopped at the dam. We usually go father but the tiny stream was washed larger. not for me to cross. headed back along the water but found ourselves climbing up because take trail disappeared. for the most part the downed trees are mostly cleaned up. there are many dead trees laying against other trees I'd hate to be the one under the trees when they come down.
This trail begins inside Rutgers Garden close to the log house. There are still a lot of downed trees, but nothing to difficult to pass. The trail is not well marked but it is easy to follow....don't worry, it's a big loop and nearly impossible to get lost.
John N I did this trail summer of 2012 after going to the Farmers Market on Riders lane. The entrance is to the left of the market when facing it. The trail was put together by the Boy Scouts and leads into the bamboo forest. A short trail. They did a good job.
For more of a trail ride down the road to Frank G Helyar Forest entrance across from Rutgers Cabin. Which we hiked today. Lots of tree down from Sandy and they were cut away from most of the trail. We started at the Frank G Heylar Forrest sign going straight up to the fence not through it.making a right on the inside of it. A very large tree with lots of shrub coundn`t pass it. So we went back and made the next left taking us to the open pasture then passing the Pine Forrest where the Field of Heroes monument is. Some tree down in it but not bad. We continued down to the Damn along the Farrington Lake Reservoir. At which point we made a right along the water. Did have to climb over a couple large trees that were down in the path.

The Harbowl...
I'll be watching. We even bought a hi def antenna for it. There is NOTHING like watching football in hi def...(update...Yay Ravens!!!)
We'd be watching anyway, but our friends' son, Cameron, adores sports. He eat, breathes, sleeps, lives it...and gets paid for it. After working for the Florida Panthers, he scored a gig with...you guessed it...the Baltimore Ravens...and so after a couple of years of working with them, he's spending this weekend dancing in the streets of New Orleans, living at the peak of that particular sports' world...and we couldn't be prouder or happier for him...he's buzzing (and he got tickets for his parents and sister for the game...)
So how to celebrate? Food of course. Food and the Superbowl go together like...well food and the Superbowl. Like our infamous Snipe 'n Munch party. Did you hear that the most popular superbowl food has spiked in price these last couple of weeks? Well...if you're going to invest in chicken wings for the Superbowl...then treat them well. They deserve your respect...And so...by regulation...here is a Canadian twist on a Superbowl super food: Maple Garlic Ginger Chicken Wings
These are courtesy of a food blog called She Cooks and He Eats.
I've made these at least half a dozen times...and they're delicious every time.
So go...fast to the recipe for Maple Garlic Ginger Chicken Wings
They need a few hours to marinate - I've done them after an hour in the sauce and I've waited three hours...whatever works for you...
I do have to share the video she posted on how to eat chicken wings...it's kind of brilliant.
Oh...and Go RAVENS!

At Bread Street Brasserie we seek to tell our story through the food we serve.
We choose to work with the best in the industry and want to share our love for good food with you by creating a tantalising experience that you won't forget. We select fresh seasonal produce and pair it with wine and ales sourced locally.
Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver great food made with the finest ingredients, served by a team that takes pride in and love what they do, creating an unforgettable experience for every guest.
A culinary experience of the highest quality
Serving seasonal fresh food
Artistic menus, imaginatively presented
Ensuring our team is knowledgeable and able to share this knowledge with you
We source all our steaks and meats from the Buffalo Farm in Kirkcaldy, Scotland's largest Buffalo Farm and Butchery. The team there are passionate about their animals and the way they are treated and fed. With traditional farming methods and as little intervention as is best for the animals, Buffalo Farm follows many organic farming principles. All of their Water Buffalo, Aberdeen Angus and lamb are fed a grass based diet with only a minimal amount of natural cereals in the winter months. To find out more, have a look at Buffalo Farm's website.
With a modern take on fabrics, fixtures and fittings, relating to our past as St. Cuthbert's Co-operative, there is a real sense of romantic homage. Our open plan floor, transparent entrance and large windows mirror the honest and approachable accessibility of genuine service.
We reopened in March 2014 after a refurbishment during which we aimed to honour and enhance the original features of our A listed building which is locally known as 'The Point' and often compared to the Flat Iron building in New York with the green dome and golden statue on the top.
The chandeliers in the restaurant are the original light fittings designed by the building's architect Andrew Doolan back in 1996. Throughout Bread Street Brasserie and the hotel, you will find a diamond shape theme which was inspired by the original tiles that were present when the building functioned as St. Cuthbert's Co-operative from 1892 until the early '90s.

Decision Time: Microlite74 vs Swords & Wizardry
As of 6pm this evening, the final vote from my players is in. They've been debating since early April whether to continue the current campaign under Swords & Wizardry or convert it to Microlite74. (For background see Microlite74 is "better" than Swords & Wizardry? and Small Things In Rules Apparently Do Matter.) The deadline for voting was 6pm today and all the players voted. The result was four votes for Microlite74 to one vote for Swords & Wizardry. One player abstained -- like me, he can't see that it matters as both games are basically OD&D.
So we'll be switching to Microlite74 2.0 with house rules from Swords & Wizardry with house rules this weekend. I'll probably put together a "Microlite74 Special Edition" rulebook for my players with all the house rules soon, but that will not be done in time for this week's game. I'm glad this is finally settled because the whole discussion was making my mind spin.
April 29, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Might I ask why OD&D wasn't an option?
I mean, why play a near-clone when you have the original?
Spike Page

For many gamers, getting an affordable, legible and above all legal copy of the original D&D little books is next to impossible. I have two copies of that game. One was bought last November from a site that no longer offers that PDF or any other WoTC PDFs. The other copy is an ancient Xerox copy made back when my husband was in college more than 30 years ago.
April 30, 2009 at 8:40 AM
Joseph said: "I mean, why play a near-clone when you have the original?"
I have a copy of OD&D and a reading copy printed from the PDFs. None of the players have a copy -- and no legal way to get one without wasting time and money looking for an affordable used copy. My group did look though my reading copy and found it confusing and hard to understand. The retro-clones are easier to understand.

Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy is one of the very highly accomplished films to be made about our culture ... The film also captures the sense of inner peace and light-heartedness in the face of adversity, which many have remarked is a compelling quality of the Tibetan character. --His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
New direct-to-digital transfer and remaster from original 16mm film
Bonus Features Include:
Interview with the Producer and Director and the complete sound recording from a tantric Buddhist ritual
Stunning cinematography, unprecedented access and informed direction take us on an intimate journey deep into the heart of the ancient Buddhist culture of Tibet. This is a classic work filmed in 16mm on location in India, Nepal and Ladakh during 1977. Hailed as a masterpiece, this is a spellbinding exploration of Tibetan Buddhism.
Written and directed by Graham Coleman (editor of the recently released first complete translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead) and produced and photographed by David Lascelles, the film features an intimate portrait of the Dalai Lama, a rare look at an ancient tantric ritual associated with the female deity Tara, commentary based on the teachings of the great 20th century Tibetan master Dudjom Rinpoche, and the moving response of a monastery to a death in the community.
In making the Trilogy, we were searching for an immediacy, intimacy and unobtrusiveness, which had been so masterfully achieved in such classic documentaries as Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North and the films of Fred Wiseman. We were trying to allow the Tibetan way of life to speak directly to the audience. Above all, we hoped that the film would draw the audience into the spirit of the Tibetan way of life, into its lightheartedness, openness and quietly powerful awareness of the sacred. --Director Graham Coleman
Part I: The Dalai Lama, the Monasteries and the People
Filmed in the Dalai Lama's residence in Dharamsala, India, and in the rebuilt Sera Monastery, the second largest monastery of the old Tibet, the opening part of the Trilogy observes the Dalai Lama in his dual role as head of state and spiritual teacher. The film interweaves this personal portrait with an intimately observed exploration of the ways in which the inner knowledge of Tibetan Buddhist culture is developed in the monasteries through vigorous debate and solitary meditation, and communicated to the lay community.
Part II: Radiating the Fruit of Truth
Part II journeys deep into the mystical inner world of monastic life. Set in the ancient village of Boudha, Nepal, and the isolated mountain caves of the yogis, the film follows the lamas of the Phulwary Sakya Monastery through their contemplative retreats, the building of an intricate cosmogram, and the performance of an ancient protective ritual invocation of the female deity Tara known as "A Beautiful Ornament." With a commentary based on the teachings of the great 20th century master Dudjom Rinpoche, the essence of tantric Buddhism is powerfully revealed.
Part III: The Fields of the Senses
Set in the majestic mountain landscape of Ladakh, Part III is a meditation on impermanence and the relationship between the mind, body and environment. It follows monks and farmers through a day, ending with an unflinching depiction of a monastery's moving ritual response to a death in the community. As in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the departed is guided through the dream-like intermediate state between death and birth.

Makiko was a fantastic guide - incredibly organized, keeping us on schedule, which was important given our tight timeline for a layover tour of Tokyo that was driven by train schedules and returning to the airport in time to make our connecting flight home. I highly recommend Makiko as a guide and would definitely book her again when visiting Japan. She was very responsive before the trip and was waiting for us when we exited customs in Tokyo. She was organized and had a plan for the day that she executed flawlessly, which allowed us to maximize the short time we had. I think using a layover for a quick city tour is a great way to get a small taste of a city, but it can be overwhelming to navigate on your own, and Makiko ensured we saw everything we wanted to see. She also provided a lot of information as we traveled and at each of our destinations about the history of Japan and its customs. The details Makiko shared with us definitely made a significant positive difference in our experience! For those curious what a long layover tour with Makiko looked like - this was our itinerary: Makiko met us at the airport, helped us exchange money, locate lockers for our carry-on bags and purchase train tickets. We were able to visit the Sensoji Temple and Nakamise Shopping Street and to get a birds-eye view of the area in a nearby building observation deck. We also visited the Meiji Jingu Shrine before having a delicious ramen lunch. After lunch, we went to the Shibuya station to experience this area before catching our train back to the airport. A 10 hour layover was split roughly as follows: - 1 hour from plane landing to clear customs and catch the train - 1 hour travel time to Tokyo - 5 hours within Tokyo - 1 hour back to airport - 2 hours at airport pre-flight to clear security and immigration for connecting flight I definitely suggest more time in Tokyo - there is so much more we wanted to see and do, but we are thankful for our short visit and will definitely be back!
Thank you very much for such a wonderful review with five stars! I am so happy you enjoyed my tour. I really had a lovely time with you and your family. It was so hot but we did many things within a short time. Hope you can come back in different season and spend more time in Japan. Hope to see you soon! My warmest regards to your family. Makiko
I told Makiko about the places that i'd wanna visit and the situation of my parents (they're old and can be easily tired) and she tailored our trip to our needs. She even suggested ways on how we can take full advantage of what we paid. She's smart and pretty and really nice. In fact, even after the trip, i asked her about my toubles in commuting and she guided me through it. She even made some calls to confirm my questions. I highly recommend Makiko on your travel!
Thank you very much for such a great review! I was so happy to hear you enjoyed my tour. It was a lovely to spend time with you and your parents. It was pleasure to help you. Hope you come back and enjoy more in Japan. My warmest regards to your parents. Makiko
The Best guide anyone can ask for. I can guarantee that...If you happen to be in Japan and need a guide, Makiko is the one...From the first time she met my two sons till the day they departed, Makiko was great - informative, helpful, and kind. I cannot thank her enough . THANK YOU VERY MUCH MAKIKO !!
Thank you very much for a wonderful review. It was a pleasure to be their guide. They are very nice young boys. I enjoyed to talk with them. Hope they enjoyed their stay in Japan and have a safe flight home. Thank you again, Mary. Makiko
We had a really educational and fun two days with Makiko who put together a comprehensive itinerary based on the things we were keen to see in Tokyo and Kamakura. She was also extremely flexible with what we wanted to do as we ended up visiting the Tokyo fish market impromptu for lunch. She was also very helpful with sorting out our JR Passes and identifying specific shopping places for my daughter to visit. We would thoroughly recommend Makiko to anyone looking for a friendly and informative guide in and around Tokyo.
Thank you very much such a great review! I am so happy to hear you had good time with me. It was such a lovely time spending with all of you. Hope you will have a wonderful time for the rest of your stay in Japan. Enjoy Japanese hot summer! Hope to see you again soon. My warmest regards to Sarah and Blythe. Makiko
If this is your first time in Tokyo, as it was ours, this is the way to go. We booked Makiko for a full day and I can tell you now this was worth every cent. She was all you could ask for on your first day. She was on time, her English was fantastic and her knowledge was awesome. Makiko took the time to show us how to use the rail system, so well in one day, we nailed getting to Disneyland and back to Shinjuku with no problems the next day. Very confident getting around now in general. We covered so much ground in one day it felt like we spent two days with her, in a positive way. Covered the Imperial Palace, Sensoji Temple, Skytree, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Ginza, Shibuya, and Harajuku and Takeshita area. Her knowledge of general history was excellent and very informative, without being excessive, which we appreciated. Showed us a great place for lunch, and gave us her contact details in we got stuck or needed help. Five stars, and a big thanks you again to Makiko.
Thank you very mcuh for such a wonderful review! I was so happy to hear you had a good time with me. I really enjoyed spending time with you and your family. Hope you have a great time in Tokyo and Osaka. Please come back in different season. Hope to see you again. My warmest regards to Tanja, Liam, Zane and Mya.

Traditional local election methods--district, at-large, and hybrid approaches--are changing. There is a movement toward election reform. The purpose of Local Government Elections is to sort through and make sense of the various, sometimes complex, election system options at the local level. The book provides an introduction to local election practices and a review of traditional election methods. Also addressed are the issues, potential solutions, future trends and implications regarding local government elections. In addition, two appendices detail the National Civic League's suggested election guidelines for both city and county governments. While most published works on election practices focus on the federal and state levels of government, Local Government Elections is one of the few that deals solely with the city and county units of government. Complete details are given for such practices as the ward system, at-large plurality system, combined system, limited voting, cumulative voting, proportional representation, and alternative voting, and their myriad variations.... the literacy test.21 The temporary provisions of the Act covered Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Virginia, ...

At some of their live shows, All Tiny Creatures play in the dark. When they do, the Madison electronic band creates an environment ripe for contemplation. They place lights near their feet, making their instruments glow like angels' harps.
Onstage, front man Thomas Wincek starts loops with a foot pedal connected to a computer while the rest of the band watches intently for cues. Guitarist Andrew Fitzpatrick is usually the only musician using a traditional instrument, one with analog parts. Even drummer Ben Derickson plays a machine at times. After an arm injury, he was forced to give his sticks a rest but unlocked a multitude of space-age possibilities by introducing the device to the live show.
Technologically inclined, All Tiny Creatures are obsessed with precision and technique. "Their music often gets compared to [pioneering minimalist composer] Steve Reich because it has this meticulous thing going on," says Sara Padgett Heathcott, co-founder of the Portland, Ore., record label Hometapes. The label is home to All Tiny Creatures, as well as acclaimed indie acts like Megafaun and Stars Like Fleas. "What grabbed me back in the day was how the meticulous nature of the music is a door to something else. It let my brain swim around."
This mighty quartet of multi-instrumental men is transforming the rock 'n' roll landscape, scoring stellar write-ups on Pitchfork and killing it at South by Southwest three years in a row. Hometapes releases All Tiny Creatures' full-length debut, Harbors, on March 29. The band performs at the Frequency April 8.
"They're constantly pushing the limits of their musical brains," Heathcott says of the group, which played its first Madison show in May 2008. "And there's an intense work ethic and a desire to create no matter what."
Drawing on the members' love of Krautrock and electronic music, All Tiny Creatures began as an instrumental project that layered laptop compositions and synth licks with the rocking sounds of live guitar, bass and drums. A demo of the music wound up in Heathcott's hands.
"I listened to that demo over and over and over and over," says Heathcott, who arrived in Portland with husband and label cofounder Adam after stints in Savannah and elsewhere. "It really stuck with me. When I moved to Portland, I'd work to it. It was my favorite thing in the world."
Wincek's vision for the band began to take shape, both in recordings and onstage. "It used to be me coming up with compositional ideas and asking other people to play them," he says. "Now the band has its own sound and is writing more collaboratively. I think the sound's become more accessible, too."
Heathcott and the Hometapes crew decided to catalog the band's metamorphosis as it happened, releasing two mixtapes, An Iris and Glass Bubbles. All Tiny Creatures also has released an EP, Segni, and they recorded a Christmas track, "Kites," for Hometapes' holiday sampler disc, I'll Be Hometapes for Christmas. "Kites" is based on the Truman Capote story "A Christmas Memory."
One change occurred when the band began to incorporate vocals. On the mixtapes, a series of guest vocalists do the singing, including Roberto Carlos Lange, of Helado Negro and Epstein, as well as Wisconsin indie superstar Justin Vernon, of Bon Iver.
But the band can't bring a vanload of vocalists on a road trip that includes upcoming stops in Pittsburgh, Brooklyn and Louisville, as well as a stint this week at South by Southwest in Austin. So members of All Tiny Creatures - who aren't trained vocalists - sing the parts, imagining the vocals as instruments rather than words set to music.
According to Heathcott, this approach puts a new frame on the band's sound. "You realize how creative they are when you watch them do this," she says. "It's really cool to see how they take these vocalists' choices and make them a part of the music, not just something pasted on as an afterthought. It asks a whole lot of new questions."
The songs on Harbors started as musical ideas, not lyrical ones. "Either Tom or I usually come up with some musical material and have an electronic drum part we use for the time being in whatever recording program we're using," says guitarist Fitzpatrick. "Eventually, Ben will rerecord the drum part with the drum kit and keep the spirit of what the scratch part was but add his own unique style."
Among the new tracks, highlights include "Glass Bubbles," in which loops of guitar mingle with bouncy layers of synth, hinting at a Caribbean party one moment and a lost Talking Heads tape another. These instruments create a warm blanket of sound that envelops guest singer Ryan Olcott's soft, almost-whispered vocals. They bring the tune into dream-pop territory, with lyrics about hands in pockets and staring out windows.
Then there's "An Iris," featuring a lush instrumental haze and soaring falsetto vocals slightly reminiscent of "Angel" by the Virgin Prunes' Gavin Friday. Sung by Justin Vernon, "An Iris" created a buzz among bloggers and critics at Stereogum and Pitchfork when those websites previewed it late last year.
Contemplate All Tiny Creatures' personnel, and you might imagine a Venn diagram laid over a map of the indie-music hub that is Eau Claire, Wis. That's because members of All Tiny Creatures have close ties to Eau Claire sensations like Megafaun and Bon Iver.
There is, for example, the band Volcano Choir. All Tiny Creatures' Thomas Wincek and Matthew Skemp are members, and so is Bon Iver's Justin Vernon. Then there's the Madison/Milwaukee supergroup Collections of Colonies of Bees. Wincek used to be a Bee, Skemp still is, and other members belong to Volcano Choir.
Meanwhile, Skemp and Creatures guitarist Fitzpatrick jam side by side in the Talking Heads tribute Houses in Motion, which packs the High Noon Saloon with dancing groupies on a regular basis.
What brought all these people together? A glove.
"For my senior show, I had made a turntable glove, which had phonograph styluses on all the fingers," recalls Wincek, who was attending school at the Art Institute of Chicago while his wife-to-be, Megan, was studying in Eau Claire.
"I made instruments and stuff in the art and tech department at school, and my project was this sound installation thing with a performance. It turns out Brad [Cook] from Megafaun was there with his cousin and stumbled upon it. I remember this giant dude sitting on a bench, freaking out the whole time, and it turned out he was friends with Megan, which we discovered later."
Wincek moved to Eau Claire soon afterwards, and Cook discovered through the grapevine - and the local alt-weekly newspaper - that the artist who'd blown his mind in the Windy City was part of his social network. The two quickly connected and began making music with Megafaun's Joe Westerlund, which led to projects and parties with Bon Iver's Vernon and numerous other musicians.
Soon Wincek joined Skemp in Collections of Colonies of Bees, and after that band released its 2008 album, Birds, it spawned Volcano Choir with Vernon.
Skemp and Fitzpatrick had teamed up even earlier, as high school bandmates in La Crosse and as Houses in Motion collaborators in 2004. But it was an Eau Claire connection that drew Fitzpatrick to Wincek and, ultimately, to the Creatures.
"I went to college in Eau Claire, and my wife was good friends with Megan [Wincek], but we didn't really connect until he moved to Minneapolis and I moved to Madison," says Fitzpatrick. "At my wedding, he approached me and said, 'Hey, I'm starting a band. You want to play guitar?' I was really into the music he was making, so of course I said yes."
Wincek recruited drummer Derickson, a childhood friend from jazz camp. That completed the foursome.
Thanks to a handy connection to a Japanese label, Wincek and Skemp rocked Japan last November - but not as All Tiny Creatures. Their agglomera tions Volcano Choir and Collections of Colonies of Bees joined forces for a tag-team tour.
Despite his success in the U.S., Justin Vernon has yet to make a major splash in Japan. In fact, Collections of Colonies of Bees are probably the better-known act, with a well-received Japanese release under their belts.
"When we travel there, we're on equal footing, which is kind of weird," Wincek says of touring with Vernon. "And we hadn't even played live as Volcano Choir until Tokyo, which is even weirder."
When All Tiny Creatures tour, Fitzpatrick serves as group historian, toting a Sony Clear Voice tape recorder to each show, diner and airport, whether the gang's traveling to Texas or New Jersey. "He gets all of these weird sounds and stitches them together," Wincek explains. "It's sort of an abstract representation of what happened during the tour."
Fans can listen to these travelogues on the All Tiny Creatures website, and while they're there, they can check out the vivid cover art of Harbors, which was created by Portland-based artist Aaron Draplin. The packaging of Harbors - which, in its LP version, features colored vinyl and a luxurious gatefold album - was largely the brainchild of Hometapes' Heathcott. She worked in advertising and also was the singer for the early screamo band To Dream of Autumn, so merging cool tunes and super-creative marketing ideas is what she does.
"We're really proud of being able to honestly measure up to the music with the packaging," she says. "Our goal is to translate what the bands are doing with everything about it. This one really delivers and enhances the All Tiny Creatures experience." And, she adds, "it's completely badass."
Still, even though their new album is a triumph of visual design, All Tiny Creatures sometimes plays in the dark. In a musical universe full of visual stimuli, from Lady Gaga's risqué costumes to Lil Jon's diamond-studded teeth, these guys are completely confident and creative rocking out in T-shirts amid the shadows.
"I know these guys would still be making amazing music without Hometapes, and they'd still be compelled to be creative if they didn't have any equipment," says Heathcott. "That's the stuff real musicians are made of."

Some Notes and Tips
1. Almost all survey panels listed above reward members either cash, gift cards and/or prizes for taking online surveys and many of them have high paying focus groups and product testing opportunities.
2. I highly suggest you sign up with all the survey sites I listed here (or as many as you feel comfortable), because the more survey panels you belong to, the more survey opportunists you are likely to receive and have higher earning potential. Remember all the surveys sites in this list are legitimate and they will keep your personal information private.
3.It is time consuming to sign up with all the survey sites and it's even takes more time to fill out detailed profile surveys for each panel. I suggest you join the survey panels first and provide your basic demographic information first, then come back to each sites to fill out additional profile surveys.
4. I am trying my best to list as many legitimate Australian online survey panels as I can find. If you live in Australia and know any good Australian survey sites not listed here, please feel free to let me know by leaving a comment below, and please share your experience as well, thanks!
Please share this list/page (you can use the social share buttons below) with family and friends or anyone you know wants to earn extra money taking online surveys. Thank you!

PITTSBURGH, April 24, 2003 — Findings from the largest study to date evaluating minimally invasive esophagectomy, or removal of the esophagus to treat esophageal cancer , indicate that the procedure results in lower mortality rates and shorter hospital stays compared with most open procedures. The results of the study, conducted by James D. Luketich, M.D., associate professor of surgery and chief, division of thoracic surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and co-director, Lung and Esophageal Cancer Program, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, and Chrish Fernando, M.D., also of UPMC, will be presented at the 123rd Annual Meeting of the American Surgical Association (ASA), April 24-26, at the J.W. Marriott in Washington, D.C.
Minimally invasive esophagectomy, or MIE, was evaluated in 221 patients at UPMC from June 1996 through August 2002. Average hospital stays and mortality rates were compared with similar-size studies of open methods including thoracotomy (surgical opening of the chest wall) and laparotomy (surgical opening of the abdomen), or both. The study found that the median hospital stay was seven days for patients who underwent MIE compared with typical hospital stays in excess of 10 days for patients who underwent open procedures. The study also found that mortality occurred in 1.3 percent of the MIE cases compared with typical mortality rates of up to 5 percent or higher as reported for open procedures.
MIE is a video-assisted surgical procedure that utilizes instruments introduced into the body through very small incisions and a laparoscope, or tiny camera. Patients who are candidates for MIE undergo extensive preoperative evaluation involving laparoscopic staging, endoscopic ultrasound and CT scans to assess the extent of the disease.
"Our study demonstrates that minimally invasive esophagectomy offers results as good as, if not better than, open esophageal procedures," said Dr. Luketich, who is also co-director of the Mark Ravitch/Leon C. Hirsch Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery at UPMC. "These results are encouraging and demonstrate that MIE can improve patient outcomes without compromising accepted standards of care." Dr. Luketich stressed, however, that the success of esophagectomy, whether done through standard open approaches or minimally invasively, largely depends on surgical expertise in the procedure and volume of procedures performed annually. He also noted that excellent results using open approaches have been reported from centers that specialize in esophagectomy.
The study included 186 men and 35 women with a median age of 66 years who underwent MIE for esophageal cancer. MIE was successfully completed in 93 percent (205) of the patients. Median stay in the intensive care unit was one day and median hospital stay was seven days. At a mean follow-up of 13.4 months, 90 percent of stage I, 65 percent of stage II and 25 percent of stage III patients had survived their cancer.
These findings have led to the formation of an intergroup trial to assess the results of MIE in a multi-site setting that will include several cancer centers. The multi-site study will be coordinated by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) and the primary site for the study will be the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2003, approximately 13,900 people will develop esophageal cancer in the United States, and 13,000 will die from the disease. It also has been noted that esophageal cancer is rapidly rising in the United States. The only known risk factor for esophageal cancer is chronic heartburn. Esophageal cancer can develop in any part of the esophagus and often spreads to the windpipe, large blood vessels in the chest, lungs, liver and stomach. Symptoms of esophageal cancer include difficulty swallowing, weight loss, loss of appetite, coughing, hoarseness, bone pain and shortness of breath. Co-authors for the study include Chrish Fernando, M.D., Miguel Alvelo-Rivera, M.D., Philip Schauer, M.D., Percival O. Buenaventura, M.D., Neil A. Christie, M.D., James McCaughan, M.D., and Rodney Landreneau, M.D., all with the University of Pittsburgh. The study was sponsored by ASA member Timothy R. Billiar, M.D., professor and chairman of surgery, University of Pittsburgh.
The ASA was founded in 1880 and is the nation's oldest and most prestigious surgical organization. Membership includes leading surgeons from around the world. The primary mission of the ASA is to provide a national forum for presenting the developing state of the art and science of surgery and the elevation of the standards of the medical/surgical profession.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Other Flashing Hardware & Software' started by dark_angel, Aug 27, 2006.
does anybody know a site that will send the passwe to australia?
A passwe? is it some sort of a plural passme?
try this australian website:
If you keep an eye on Shop @ 01 Media they will be updating their web store in the next few days.
While they don't have the item listed at the moment, they will do during the update (probably tomorrow).
Alternatively, Gamer Section deliver world wide and have it in stock for $20 (USD).
ok thanks guys
I just received my Passwe 3 from Cheapmod.
Instead it directly boots the flashcard in slot 2, without any splash. I was expecting it to boot to menu first...
I think there's also at least 2 version of Passwe, be warned guys....
Ok, I'm going to contact the shop and send it back...
And what's bad about that?
Is your DS in manual mode?
If the Passwe is just another nopass, it does what it's supposed to do.
I didn't say it doesn't work. I was just saying that it may not work as explained in GBAtemp's review (and it was that other way of working that made me buy it in first place). My disappointment is plainely understandable :'(
Buy a EZPass 3
It boots to DS menu...
Nobody else here bought a PassWe ? Am I the only one to have a PassWe that does not boot to DS Menu first ?

CNET First Look
Samsung T259 (T-Mobile)The Samsung T259 doesn't do much apart from making calls, but it does that very well.
Hi this is Jessica Dolcourt for CNET. I'm taking a look at the Samsung T259 for T-Mobile. This is your basic flip phone. It doesn't do much but what it does, it does very well. For example, it's got really excellent call quality, a nice loud speakerphone that doesn't sound too hollow, and calls are very crystal clear. There's also a large comfortable dial pad here. It's very intuitive to use, there's large type on the screen by default so it's a very easy phone to get around. One thing that makes this phone really easy to use are the useful shortcut keys. There's one for every direction of the directional pad, plus there are 2 programmable shortcut keys on either side of the navigation toggle. There's a 2-megapixel camera here on the front. It's also a camcorder and there's 32 gigabytes of external memory. Inside, you've got all of your basics like text, e-mail, and a very basic music player. I've got that hooked up to the shortcut key here. Not everything on this phone is flawless, however. For example, I personally don't like these hard edges here on the phone face especially when everything else is really rounded. It just feels kind of out of place. And also, if you wanna listen to music, there's this micro USB jack that you have to use as a shared headset jack so you're gonna need an adaptor for that. That's pretty much negative when you've got a music player on board. This phone is only $30 with an instant rebate and a 2-year service agreement so that's a really great bargain. It basically adds up to a great phone for people who are mostly just interested in making calls and sending texts. I'm Jessica Dolcourt and this is the Samsung T259 for T-Mobile.

Report slashes Scottish growth forecast
A leading economic forecaster has cut its growth forecast for the Scottish economy this year.
The Fraser of Allander Institute at Strathclyde University revised down its forecast from 0.9% to 0.4%.
It said a return to pre-recession output was unlikely before the third quarter of 2014 - six years after the start of the downturn.
However, the institute suggested there were "some tentative signs of recovery" in the Scottish economy.
This was despite evidence that the economy continued to weaken towards the end of 2011.
It indicated that falling inflation may help growth to pick up in the second half of this year.
The institute argued problems in eurozone remained the "elephant in the room" on future growth prospects, but added the problem had eased for the time being.
It forecasted growth next year at 1.7%.
'Limited impact'
The institute said, although the toughest year of budget reduction had passed for the public sector, it would still be increasingly harder to deliver incremental cuts outlined in the Scottish budget over the next two years "as the financial screws continue to turn ever tighter".
The report added: "Even the recent decision to shift spending revenue to capital - a move that was widely welcomed - will have a limited impact on the economy."
On jobs, the report said the labour market in Scotland was "now clearly weaker" than the UK, with employment falling and unemployment rising to 8.6% - above the UK's 8.4% rate.
It forecasted unemployment to reach 265,000 - or 9.8% - at the end of this year, 34,000 higher than the end of 2011.
Brian Ashcroft, from the University of Strathclyde, said: "Growth in the Scottish economy continues to slow down, employment is falling and unemployment is rising at a faster rate than in the UK.
"Yet, with falling inflation there are some signs of a recovery emerging in the second half of this year and the hope that the problems of the eurozone, if not solved, are less likely to plunge the world economy into recession than when we last reported."

Renewed worries about the impact of future phosphate mining have prompted city officials to consider asking state and federal regulatory agencies to assess the potential risks phosphate mining would have on the area's water supply.
On Monday, the City Commission will recommend sending a letter urging the agencies to conduct an environmental impact statement before any permits are issued for mining on land controlled by the Mosaic Co. north of the city.
"The letter is basically saying, 'Be careful,'" said David Garofalo, City Commission chairman. "We're not taking a stance either way at this point, but this is our drinking water."
Mosaic could potentially mine two sites, called Pine Level and Keys, spanning portions of Manatee and DeSoto counties in the Central Florida phosphate mining region known as the "Bone Valley."
Garofalo said officials are concerned about the possible downstream impacts any mining there would have on the Myakkahatchee Creek, the city's primary water source.
A Mosaic spokesman said the company has no pending applications with any agency to begin operations at the two sites. The company's current operations are centered farther north, largely in the Peace River basin.
"It is in our long-term plans," said Russell Schweiss.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has issued two general environment resource permits authorizing construction of a fence and 20 monitoring wells at the Pine Level site, west of Arcadia.
For the last three years, the Southwest Florida Water Management District in Bartow has been reviewing a water-use permit which would allow ground water withdrawals of up to 76 million gallons per day to supply all Mosaic sites, including a Pine Level mine.
Mosaic representatives reportedly told city staff in April its intent is to install a phosphate processing plant and develop the portion of the mines located within the Peace River watershed. Any actual mining at the sites in question would be at a "much later date," the letter said.
This week, the DeSoto County planning commission opposed Mosaic's proposal to amend the county's comprehensive plan for land use. The matter will go before the DeSoto County Commission May 25 at 1 p.m.
Representatives of the Environmental Confederation of Southwest Florida, a regional coalition and longtime opponent of phosphate mining, question Mosaic's intentions.
"We don't trust them," said Becky Ayech, president of the organization.

Our fourth Talking Tales was a bit of a special one, as it also doubled up as the Bristol Festival of Literature closing party, or 'Speakeasy'. This meant our usual storytelling programme was interspersed with live music, an interview with a local writer, and more! Excitingly, it also meant that the event was held on a Saturday night instead of our usual Monday slot – allowing our performers and audience members to really let their hair down.
All of this made for our most popular night to date, with so many people cramming into Left Bank that some people were even sitting on the floor. See?
So, without further ado, let's look at who performed at the Talking Tales Speakeasy:
Part One
The night began with a special word from Festival Director Jari Moate, thanking all of us for being involved in this year's successful event. Three cheers all round!
First on, we had veteran Stokes Croft Writer member (he left us to go study in Oxford, but was back for the weekend and willing to make a special guest appearance!) Andy Melhuish, reading a whimsical piece of flash fiction called 'Eloquent Bear's Locked Door Mystery'.
Second was Joe Smith reading a dark little tale called 'Sketches of Jealousy'.
Third up was Mark Rutterford, performing a bittersweet story called 'Still & Always'.
Stokes Croft Writer (and compère for the night) Christie Cluett then finished off the first half with a lively rendition of her hilarious '52nd Birthday in Bed'.
Interview with local writer
After the break, Jari was back on stage to interview local writer Tracy Alexander about what it's like writing fiction for young people, and to ask her about her latest novel Hacked, which tells the tale of a teen who inadvertently crosses the line from cyber-geek to cyber-terrorist. You can buy it online here.
Finish the Lines
Next, Christie announced the winning Finish the Lines submissions.
In second place were:
- "In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father always said to me, 'The monsters under the bed – they are real. Sleep quietly and deeply or they will eat your toes clean off.'"
- "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was turbulent, obviously."
- "Bob loved jelly but didn't know how to contain the wobble in his big, round belly."
And in first place were:
- "In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father always said to me, 'Son, get her on the pill. It feels better.' (true story)"
- "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was my birthday and I was completely alone. Placing the 99 candles on my cake was a chore, but they burned bright."
- "Bob loved pretending to be middle-class but didn't know how to put creme freche on a ordinary meal and deem it a 'dish'."
As always, incorporate one of the winning lines listed here into a story and read it at a future Talking Tales – and we'll buy you a pint!
Part Two
After that we were back to stories. Kevlin Henney was up first, reading 'Possession'.
Next was Anita MacCallum with the haunting 'Cold Concern'.
And finishing up was Stokes Croft Writer Christopher Fielden, impersonating an old lady to hilarious effect in 'Death of a Superhero'.
Live Music
The night was polished off with some live music from local acoustic duo Long for the Coast, who were lovely! You can listen to them here.
The entire event was recorded live, and is now available on the Talking Tales podcast here.
You can subscribe to the Talking Tales podcast here or in iTunes, or simply keep in touch using Facebook or Twitter.
Next Event
The next Talking Tales event will take place on Monday 14th December, so put that in your diaries now. If you're interested in performing your own work, contact Stokes Croft Writers at firstname.lastname@example.com.
