Who's Worse, Marketers or Parents?
My morning media cruise offered two competing visions of our nation's kids: too fat and too sexy, and the now obligatory pendulum of blame for both. The changes in diet and habit that have led to a childhood obesity epidemic are regularly traced back to the rise of junk food, but are marketers (now slipping under the marketing-to-kids radar with online games, quizzes, and apps ) or weak parents (permitting kids to play said games, and funding the junk food purchases) more to blame?
And ESPN's poor LZ Granderson was assaulted in an airport recently by the sight of a hotly dressed 8-year-old and moved to raise his voice in attack on the girl's feckless mother (although he does say "parents"). Our ire, he says, "really should be directed at the parents who think low rise jeans for a second grader is cute. They are the ones who are spending the money to fuel this budding trend." Margaret Hartman of Jezebel fired back: "Granderson asks, 'What adult who wants a daughter to grow up with high self-esteem would even consider purchasing such items?' Perhaps an adult who's learned from marketers that her own self-esteem should come from her ability to remain wrinkle-free and squeeze into a tiny, low-cut dress."
Of course, neither of those competing visions of responsibility really lets parents off the hook. We are either irresponsible or helpless in the hands of the marketing machine that pushes both junk food and sex on us 24-7. In Hartman's version, we're victims, too, unable to see anything clearly, not even ourselves. Of course, I say "we," although it's pretty clear from both Granderson's piece and the NYT article that they're not talking about all parents, but only those parents who aren't savvy enough to worry about these things.
Ultimately, neither end of the blame-allocation spectrum offers much besides catharsis. (I admit to indulging in an LZ-style mental rant directed at the mother of a 6-year-old in a leopard-print bikini just a few days ago.) Hemming in the marketers requires regulation, administration, and oversight, expensive no-nos every one. Correcting for those weak parents is even more difficult. Nice as it would be if they'd just listen to LZ and toss the halter tops and midriff-flashing "Juicy" pants, or skim the New York Times and note that those online games sponsored by Pop Tarts might be behind the three boxes in the shopping cart last week, I have to suspect that it might take more-and "more" probably involves social programs and education, which don't come cheap, either.
Worse, it's unclear which of those pricey options works (a question journalist Peggy Orenstein, former Nickelodeon executive Tom Ascheim and New York Times opinion-page columnist Virginia Heffernan will discuss at a DoubleX /92YTribeca Forum next week: Cinderella Ate My Daughter, SpongeBob Ate My Son: The Reality of Marketing to Kids ). Opinions are plentiful. Answers aren't easy, especially when nothing fits neatly under a conservative or liberal banner. But the girl at the heart of the New York Times' piece on online-game marketing sounded out the problem loud and clear as she read aloud the warning on a banner above her fun: " 'Hey, kids, this is' ... I don't know that word."
The word was "advertising."

October 12, 2009 (DALLAS) --Oprah Winfrey saluted some winners of cooking competitions at the State Fair of Texas as she taped her TV show at the expo in Dallas. Winfrey, wearing a brown cowboy hat, on Monday recorded her hour-long show before several hundred fans. No airing date was immediately provided.
Fans lined up before dawn in drizzly conditions to get into the 277-acre fairgrounds and stand in the uncovered viewing area to see the Chicago-based media giant.
A backdrop saying "Oprah at the Biggest State Fair in America" was the centerpiece of the covered stage. The banner had images of Big Tex, the 52-foot-tall cowboy figure known for his "howdy folks" welcome to fairgoers, plus the Texas Star, a 212-foot-tall Ferris wheel.
The State Fair of Texas runs through Sunday.

India were dismissed for 76 in the shortest ever innings on the subcontinent. It took just 20 overs to complete the rot with Steyn picking up 5/23. Ntini grabbed 3/18 and Morkel claimed 2 wickets. In under 15 overs SA were in the lead. Currently they are 147 runs in the lead with 4 wickets down. Things are not going India's way and it will take a miracle for them to come back in this match.
Category Archives: South Africa vs India
Virender Sehwag Smashes 257 in one day
Virender Sehwag smashes South Africa all over the park scoring 257 runs in the day and completing the fastest ever 300 in just 278 balls. Absolutely incredible to watch and he still has tomorrow to take his score past 400!!!
Langeveldt Pulls Out of SA tour to India
Charl Langeveldt has pulled out of the 3 test tour to India, which kicks off on the 26th of March. Langeveldt indicated that the controversy surrounding the team selection has upset him and he wont be in the right frame of mind.
It is now common knowledge that the South African touring side consisting of 14 players must have 6 players in order to be approved. Langeveldt has worked out that his selection is not based on anything else apart from race. He last played test cricket two years ago in Australia, which was just his 6th test. He averages 37 with the ball in tests and had a shocking display in this seasons Supersport Series (the 4 day domestic competition) averaging 43.45 with the ball!!!
Langeveldt was deservedly voted as one of the South African cricketers of the Year in 2007 and it takes only slightly more intellect than those that meddle with the team have to work out its not for his ability in the 5 day format.
Langeveldt has impressed in the ODI format, averaging 28.46 in 59 matches. He also contributed in the MTN domestic championship picking up 17 wickets at an average of 14.70. He also had an outstanding world cup and is an integral part of the ODI squad.
Statistics don't mean everything but they are a good way to gauge where Langeveldt's speciality lies. In Bangladesh he picked up 2/32 and 3/31 before being rested for the last game.
My sympathy goes out to Langeveldt who knows he wasn't the best player for the job and also understands the reason why he was picked. The politicians like the Ministry of sport Butana Komphela have no place in the game. (if you don't know who he is – he is the person that wanted passports taken away from the Springboks for not meeting transformation standards – read more here) He came out to defend Arendse when the side from Bangladesh was rejected for not having enough transformation players and told the media that:
"We must build this country through unity and through sport, we have all seen how united this country becomes as soon as one national team wins. All of us, even the president (Thabo Mbeki), supported the Springboks when they won the World Cup.
"People asked me 'why' and I said 'they might be white, probably by accident, but they are South Africans, it doesn't make them lesser South Africans.'
He also went on to say "But our agenda is to tell them to transform and that is not going to stop. We are unapologetic about that because the truth is very simple: we all need to feel like we have a place in the national team." (to read more of his statements click here and yes it gets worse)
As mentioned in another post why must 6 players of colour be taken when only 4 will play? Who will replace his spot? If policies are to be adhered to, one thing is for sure it wont be Andre Nel.
SA Squad for India
Graeme Smith (captain), Ashwell Prince (vice-captain), Hashim Amla, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Paul Harris, Jacques Kallis, Charl Langeveldt, Neil McKenzie, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Robin Peterson and Dale Steyn.
The team has seen Andre Nel threaten to quit SA cricket (see more here) after being dropped for Charl Langeveldt. There is a lot more to it than his childish but understandable outburst about being dropped. He has been an integral part of the test setup this season edging out the legendary Shaun Pollock, no mean feat and something difficult to comprehend for the experts and casual followers. However if you saw him bowling against West Indies you will remember that he justified his inclusion in the side.
It is clear that the selectors who picked a squad of only FOUR players of colour for the Bangladesh tour (Peterson replaced Harris who was injured) when six was the target have now been instructed to pick a squad of six players of colour. Another clear message came from the 2nd test in Bangladesh where Botha had done nothing wrong to be dropped, yet he was dropped for Peterson which ensured the side had four players of colour.
I am still trying to figure out why there must be 6 players of colour in the squad if only 4 will play. In the current line-up which wont change much from the last few test the team has been made up of: Graeme Smith (captain), Ashwell Prince (vice-captain), Hashim Amla, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, Neil McKenzie, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Jacques Kallis and Dale Steyn.
This means that either Charl Langeveldt, Robin Peterson, JP Duminy or Paul Harris (if fit) will make up the last spot. If Harris is chosen which is more than likely, the squad will have to adapt, with the possibility of Morkel making way for Langeveldt/Peterson or McKenzie dropped for Duminy.
Andre Nel has had a good tour of Bangladesh and clearly was not impressed by the omission. The bottom line is the selectors have put their heads together and believe that Morkel is a better bowler than Nel, and thus he is left out. For quota reasons Ntini wont be dropped (nor should he be for any reason)
If you had to say which player of colour would be the first one to be picked out of the ODI squad, most people would have gone with Herschelle Gibbs ahead of Langeveldt. This is a clear sign to Gibbs to get his act together if he wants a place in the team to England in June.
Peterson bowled himself into contention picking up 5-33 in the second innings of the second test. That said we now have two spinners who are left arm orthodox, instead of Botha who would add another dimension to the team.
It is the toughest challenge yet for SA in this season, facing an Indian side that could have easily won the Test series against Australia and ended off on a high note. It will take another monster effort from the worlds best bowler, certainly most destructive bowler Dale Steyn and a massive performance from the inexperienced Morkel to give SA a chance of completing a clean sweep of the season. With a fragile top order on the batting front, it will be a remarkable series victory.

A Very PharPoint Halloween: The Science Behind Fright
Day Three of #SpookyScience: Why Do We Enjoy Being Scared?
It's Day Three of #SpookyScience, where we'll be posting every day until Halloween about all things creepy and strange. So far, we've looked at why we get goosebumps and why we find screams so scary. Today, we're digging into why those horror flicks and haunted houses are so popular.
Halloween: A Time For Thrill-Seeking
When you think of Halloween, there's probably a few activities that come to mind: watching scary movies, going to haunted houses, and dressing up as Freddy Krueger or Jigsaw, to name a few. Some people definitely enjoy these activities more than others, and each person has a different tolerance for horror and gore.
There's no denying that there's a huge market for fright, and a lot of people jump at the opportunity to get their hearts racing. Thrill-seekers are constantly looking for the most challenging and realistic scary situations, and this has led to new brands of terror, like the recent "extreme haunted house" trend. A prime example is McKamey Manor in San Diego, a haunted house that only allows four people to enter per weekend (and therefore uses a thorough participant screening process). Why? Because the experience is seven hours long, requires an extensive legal waiver to be signed, and is only safe for people in excellent health. And despite the many accounts of participants who are inconsolable and utterly terrified upon exiting the house, there's a mile-long waiting list of people who want the same experience.
While there are few adrenaline junkies who are that dedicated to chasing a thrill, it still begs the question: when we're hardwired to avoid danger and chase survival, why do we enjoy being scared? Better yet, why do we actively seek out situations that we find terrifying?
Brain Chemistry Determines Our Fear Threshold
First, it's important to understand exactly what happens in our brains when we get scared. It goes back to the fight-or-flight response we experience in the face of potential danger, where a rush of adrenaline prepares our body to either challenge a threat or to flee from it. When we're scared, a suite of hormones is released throughout our body to cause changes like increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and sweaty palms. One of the hormones released during thrilling activities is dopamine, a chemical that regulates the brain's reward and pleasure centers – and the same chemical that has been associated with addictive and pleasurable activities.
Because of this, some people experience a natural high from facing a scary situation. It also explains why some thoroughly enjoy horror films and haunted houses and others detest them. All brains are different, and people have different amounts of dopamine release and re-uptake in these situations. Those who have large amounts of dopamine release will enjoy risky situations much more than those who don't.
So our brain chemistry, instead of personal choice, is the factor that differentiates thrill-seekers from scaredy cats. But regardless of your dopamine levels, no one wants to be placed in a genuinely life-threatening situation. Where, then, must the line be drawn for fright to be enjoyable? How scary is too scary?
Safety and Security = Successful Scaring
The ultimate rule of thumb is this: to enjoy being scared, we have to know that we're in a safe environment. While watching Nightmare on Elm Street might quicken your pulse, your brain still recognizes that you're on your couch with the door locked and no immediate threats around. This is because our brain is "lightning-fast at processing threat", says Dr. Kerr, sociologist and expert in the field of fear. However, as soon as we become unfamiliar with our surroundings or there's any possibility of harm, the situation is no longer enjoyable. And because each brain is different, we each have different boundaries for how safe an environment must be for the experience to be pleasurable.
These same conclusions can be extended to creepy things that are a bit less obvious than horror films or haunted houses. What do the Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra, and zombies have in common? They all defy the laws of nature that we generally take for granted. While many of these monsters carry their own cultural roots and significance, the ultimate fear factor is that we can't explain them with the same rulebook we use to define the rest of the world around us. We can apply a similar logic to roller coasters, which allow us to soar through the air and flip upside down, defying the laws of physics that apply when our feet are on solid ground.
Searching for a good scare is not a new phenomenon. There are records of ghost stories as early as 1st century A.D., horror literature dates all the way back to the 18th century, and freak shows gained popularity in the 19th century. While the ways we find fear have evolved, the reason behind why we do it has remained the same, relying on our basic bodily reactions.
So when Halloween night rolls around and tricks and treats abound, whether you're an adrenaline junkie or prefer to avoid being startled, you'll now know why we enjoy the experience of being scared. Keep your surroundings safe and enjoy a night full of frights!

Eh Yo, CaptainJack! Hey everyone, this is CaptainJack (@CaptainJackSSB4) here!
Today, I'm going to talk about "How I met Super Smash Bros. and started to play competitively". At that time, I never could imagine this game would totally change my entire life like many of you guys.
So let's get on to the subject!
- Meeting with Super Smsh Bros. 64
- How I started to play Smash competitively
- Side story 17 years later...
Meeting with Super Smsh Bros. 64
Picture from すぱいらる速報
As mentioned on Smashboards interview article, I got Smash 64 on the day of its release as a present of my 14th birthday from my grandfather and grandmother, which was 2 days before my real birthday (so interview is a little wrong).
Captain Jack's Smash career dates back to the first iteration on the Nintendo 64. He received the game as a present on his 14th birthday, two days after the game's release. "Nobody could have imagined that this game would change my life in the future," he reflects.
Melee Legend Ryota "Captain Jack" Yoshida on returning to the game, world travels, and more | Smashboards
Since the moment I got the game, I started to play it very passionately with junior high school friends, and I immediately became someone invincible among friends like many of you guys.
Before Smash 64 came out, I used to play fighting games such as Street Fighter II and Vampire Savior. I liked them, but I really felt something different and more interesting than them in Smash. I don't know why, maybe consept of not reducing opponent's health, but just a simple idea of "drop your opponent" must have been attractive for me somehow.
How I started to play Smash competitively
Picture from 関西スマブラ会. Thunders is the tallest and 2nd one from the right
Once upon a time in around 1999 in Japan, where I was 14 years old, Internet was still something "special" for many people, to the point that the question of "Are you using Internet?" was common. And if your answer is yes, you are sort of someone "advanced" or "a la mode" in a way.
So since my father was someone a la mode, we had a PC in our house and I could use Internet. One day, I had an idea to look for something relating to Smash on the Internet. I immediately found some websites and boards where people talked about Smash, and I took part of it little by little.
On a totally unrelated subject, I played Pokemon very passionately too. One day, me and Thunders, a Pokemon player from my region Kansai (West Japan) that I met online, had an appointment to meet together in Kyoto and we enjoyed a lot of friendlies at Mac Donald's. And he was also a Smash player.
A Few moments later, we naturally agreed to go to an "off-kai" together, which means an offline-meeting in Japanese, to a player's house in Osaka. The organizer's name was "Moko". He was an university student and was extremely nice. He was maybe 19-21 years old so he looked very "adult" for me and Thunders, who were only 14 years old at that time.
In that off-kai, from what I remember, we were 6 in Moko's house. Moko, Thunders, Cho, Jamu no Imbo, Harisen Master and me, CaptainJack, respectively. We did a round-robin and I won every match. I was surprised how I could do well against them, because I never went out of Kyoto where I was born and raised, to compete with other guys.
Anyhow, this is the story of my first appearance on competitive Smash scene. I'm not sure if that was the first meeting for Moko, Cho, and other guys too, but that was my first exposure to the scene and I will never forget that weekend in the future.
Side story 17 years later...
This is just an aside, but 17 years later since this day, Cho came to the after party of my wedding ceremony along with so many other Smash players that I will meet. Such as Masashi, IKKI, Kounotori and Shaz etc.
Smash is great, obviously a life-changing game. For me, at least.

|Release Date
|Suffused Music
|Catalog #
Fully immersed in both French and German culture, Peter Bonaventura, has discovered a rich seam of music success under his Oovation production name. Making his debut on Suffused Music, "Nimbus" follows up a stream of impressive releases on such imprints as Univack, Inlab and Clubstream Green. With a penchant for "melodic soundscapes" and four-to-the-floor club fillers, the Oovation sound has already seen support from such quarters as Tocadisco, Hernan Cattaneo and John 00 Fleming. A work of rich percussive textures and subtle shifts in emphasis via pitched vocal cuts reminiscent of "Little Fluffy Clouds", a smooth filtered arpeggio provides a tension filled bed for a huge, rasping bass line to fill the lower frequency spectrum with emotion and atmosphere. The result is a deep and rich offering sure to enthral club goers. From Elefsina, north west of Athens, Stavros Karavasilis has been writing music under his Futur-E alter ego since a debut for Substudio in 2010. Through his music Futur-E has developed a sound that is as compelling as the magnetic fields that surround his hometown. A man with a long held passion for music, performances at local clubs laid the foundation for later production success on Inlab, ADRO and Plusquam. Taking "Nimbus" on a textured voyage of discovery through intricate spot effects, pounding beat and techno infused sounds, a vibrating bass line provides the basis for a hypnotic riff to shape, delicately supplemented by arpeggio sequence and clever use of Oovation's vocal cuts. The resultant effect is an impressive rework. A man with a long history of success in the music industry through collaborative work, Nacho Vargas has found similar success in the solo sphere using his Integral Bread name. A range of styles and influences formed his musical foundations, ranging "from techno, to trance and progressive". Following invitations to appear on Spanish National Radio and live appearances including the mighty "Klubbers Madrid", Integral Bread honed his production sound and founded the Univack imprint. Working with such labels as Lowbit and FutureForm, the Integral Bread remix of "Nimbus" is a chunky, rhythmic affair that offers a dark collage of textured effects, stuttered vocal cuts and hypnotic beat. Wrapping itself perfectly round warm bass that evolves, simple melodic elements combine to maximum effect. Delivering his unique brand of "progressive techno" sounds from the hotbed of talent that is modern Israel; Sagy Amir has been a well-respected name with his One Million Toys pseudonym. A regular on Freegrant Music with his brand of pulsating melodic gems, a childhood spent learning the French horn and guitar has stood him in good stead for a career using modern electronic production techniques. A body of work for Mistique Music, Tulipa and a recent remix of Ben Coda's Nanoplex project for Movement have seen One Million Toys hit impressive heights. His use of original elements from Oovation's original, combined with a bevy of additional production material, has made "Nimbus" glitter with a shimmering dark energy that evolves to a rousing crescendo – certain to fill clubs across his home country and beyond. An original from Oovation and a trio of stratospheric remixes sees "Nimbus" flying sky high.

text: "The things patients complain about, like excessive noise, may be more than a nuisance. They may actually be bad for their health," writes Drake Bennett on noise pollution in hospitals. "The fight to quiet the hospital is part of a growing appreciation of the ways that hospitals themselves can be unhealthy for patients: While focusing on one problem, they can expose patients to others, such as infections, drug errors, and stressful, invasive care at a time when they are at their most vulnerable," says Bennett.

A writer and even blog writers have a thankless job. Did you know that Changes alone has had over 6,000+ readers since I first put it online in 2010? Surprisingly to me, Grapes of Rome, a much newer novel has had even more than that. Each of those had about 60 posts when they were first introduced, but now that they have permanent pages, notta. Especially when they have been rewritten and edited to make the books so much more readable.
But that is not really want to write about today. I want to write about you. I have to admit, it didn't start out that way. Paul (my BFF since we were 12) and I, watched a couple of episodes of The Walking Dead, then we played Sins of a Solar Empire. We then took a nap because he gets really fussy is he doesn't get one. When we woke up we watched Tremors 3 – a cult classic that we love. Except there was something I had forgotten about that old movie, unreal. The Ass Blasters! Who could forget the ass blasters? Well let's face it – it IS an old movie, I probably saw it when I was 12 years old.
That reminded me of Paul farting. Paul farts a lot, and I have to worry about him because he is so accident prone like many of my friends. To see how accident prone he is you can read this short clip http://remmymeggs.com/worry-about-friends/
Now imagine Paul, or your best friend sitting on that ledge and farting. Oh my gosh, it would be heartbreaking. So I worry about Paul and all my readers because I know that you too are full of explosive gasses.
Paul is scary. One day several of us were talking and I said did you see that Harry Potter guy? HE IS SO HAIRY.
Two others I was talking to said "Yea isn't he?" Paul said words to the effect: What do you mean he is hairy? I looked at Paul… it clicked that for him to say that Paul had to be hairier. Now I have to admit at that time I saw Paul just as I met him, a hairless 13-year-old. Come on, we were growing up, but it never occurred to me he would grow hair, because of my health I wasn't growing hair in weird places, so why should he? But he was, so in my mind Paul became my Neanderthal Man. I have several posts about the car he bought, his family background etc, all fabricated as a joke of course, but it is on this blog. I found one special video of him, his first time with a mirror. I love that video http://remmymeggs.com/pauls-first-time-with-a-mirror/
Now this is where we come to you my dear friends. For those that comment and like my stuff, I salute you, even if I don't care for what you say sometimes, as I writer and blogger I appreciate your comments more than you can imagine. But this site gets 20-100 views a day, so someone is not providing feedback.
This video was to show another side of Paul, my Neanderthal. Yet before I even posted it I thought of all the readers on this blog have never clicked like, never commented, never said anything at all about my books, that I know are read more than anything else. So I asked myself why don't they? Then as if by magic, the answer came to me. you must have died happy. So this post it to you, my silent majority fans.

A couple weeks ago my kids had career day at school. Things like this always make a little nervous when I first hear about it because the first thought that jumps in my head is "Oh no! How much work is this gonna take for me?!"
It's terrible of me! (But I know I'm not alone.)
It took them no time at all to declare that they'd like to be a chef and an architect. With a little thought we had outfits planned…
The biggest victory in this outfit was the chef's hat made by stapling a plastic bag (thank you God that I had a plain white one!) in a ring of folded parchment paper. Easy peazy!
Check out this kid. I can hardly handle it.
He has his recent 3D puzzle model of the Burj Al Khalifa (tallest building in the world in Dubai), his Dad's padfolio, a tie and combed hair.
Oh my word he was so cute.
He asked for business cards so I whipped some up for him (which he then passed out to his classmates and teachers very proudly like a good little businessman)…
And some plans and sections of the building itself. I couldn't' help myself.
Success! And it was actually fun!

Kids Behind Bars — UK TV Documentary Featuring Blake Layman
This week ITV a network in the UK aired a documentary called Kids Behind Bars. One of the people featured on the documentary was Blake Layman. Layman along with Jose Quiroz, Levi Sparks and Anthony Sharp make up the Elkhart 4.
We have been unable to see the documentary because of international filters excluding non UK residents to see UK programming online, but we have some information about the documentary. The documentary focused on Block D of the Wabash Correctional Facility which is where youths (under 18) convicted as adults are housed.
The Guardian in it's review stated,
This was a sobering look at an intractable problem; it left one feeling that Block D was a regrettable but wholly necessary part of the penal landscape, a place where young offenders are cared for as children by a state that didn't have the sense to try them as children. But if you were simply looking to be outraged by America's broken justice system, you needed to look no further than Blake, who just turned 18 in jail. Blake's crime – committed when he was 16 – was to break into what he thought was an empty house with four of his friends, only for one of them to be shot dead by the homeowner while the rest cowered in a closet. Under Indiana law, it is possible for the four surviving burglars to be charged with the murder of their friend. Blake is currently serving a 55-year sentence.
If a copy of the program becomes available on You Tube we will provide a link.
August 12, 2014 — A You Tube video of the ITV program is now available. Blake's section begins at about the 29 minute mark. Here is the video.

She put on silk underclothes laid out for her by Miss LaFosse. She had never worn real silk underclothes in her life. At once they made her feel different. She felt wicked, daring, ready for anything.
-- Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day, Winifred Watson 1938
Created from beautiful pure silks, andEdna garments are modern day luxuries for those with a love of the past. Each garment is thoughtfully designed from original historical patterns; refined for modern times, resulting in new incarnations of timeless garments.
Our aim is to enable the wearer to feel transformed, as Sarah Grubb metamorphosed to the glamorous and charming Delysia LaFosse, and as the eponym of the novel herself Miss Pettigrew discovers, pure silk underclothes can enable the wearer to experience the pleasurable effects of enveloping oneself in secret layers of luxurious silk.
andEdna is the artistic yield of Jenny Spooner. A graduate of historical costume, Jenny has been designing and constructing lingerie for much of her professional life. Wishing to create luxurious designs with only the finest of fabrics, andEdna is a homage to Jenny's late Grandmother - Edna.

The common knowledge is that living tiny can drastically cut expenses; the one set-back is coming up with the cash to actually build a tiny home. Tiny homes can range in price from less than $2K to $100K+, depending on your wants. Construction material, size, appliances, décor and other facets of your finished project all play a definite part in the cost. Pretty much common sense. But what if we don't have the financial means to construct a $10K tiny home but we have the dream? It can be done and with outstanding results. If your dream is strong enough, if you have determination and are willing to do the work yourself, you can live tiny.
You can build a tiny earthbag house for as little as $300. In fact, earthbags may be one of the most economical green building techniques of all, as well as the easiest. Earthbag building is based on military techniques of using stacked sand bags to quickly build efficient, blast-resistant, earthquake-resistant structures. Once stacked, the bags are plastered with an earth mixture. Roof framing is done 'reciprocal-style', using timbers arranged in a circle. Earthbag buildings can easily be expanded, so they're ideal for people who would want to slowly build their homes over time. The cost varies depending on the size and materials used.
LaMar Alexander built a simple off-grid solar cabin on a half-acre of land that has now been reproduced all over the United States and Canada by people who also seek a down-to-earth lifestyle and lowered cost of living. The cabin is 14×14 with a full loft and packs a living room, kitchen, bathroom, dining area and bedroom into just 400 square feet. Living simply, without a lot of appliances and gadgets, enables the cabin to run on just a few solar panels. This cabin can be built for about $2,000, not including doors and windows.
Many people have converted old Airstreams to make them more modern, healthy and livable, sometimes tearing out many of the plastic surfaces and replacing them with lightweight wood or other alternative materials. One example is Deb's 1970 22′ Airstream Land Yacht, which is now a bright and cozy full-time living space on an island in British Columbia.

In 1987, on the night of the 23rd of February,
Scientists were privileged to witness something extraordinary.
A supernova had come to play out its final role,
As a neutron star or as a black hole.
A white dwarf follows the trend
Of collecting mass from his friend.
Reaching a mass forty per cent more than our Sun,
It explodes as a supernova of type one.
Large stars containing extremely big mass
Eventually become a supernova of the type two class.
But before reaching this last stage
They fuse from hydrogen to the "iron age"…

5 Uses For ShaftsPosted on
What are the Uses of Helical Piers?
Known as helical piers are deep foundation underpinning elements that are constructed with the use of steel shafts with helical flights. By twisting the shafts into the soil with advanced bearing depth, the torque is also monitored to reach a pile capacity.
Helical pier technology is said to be well over 100 years old. It is considered as a proven system in new constructions and repairs or renovation works. Where the soil condition requires deep piles for installing foundation repair, this system is said to be a very effective solution. Helical piers as compared to other systems will prove to be more advantageous especially if the work involves existing buildings.
Equipments that are used in helical piers foundation are usually smaller, lighter and less specialized compared to the equipment used in deep foundations. In this case, the cost of moving in and moving out or mobilization is usually lesser than other systems. These conditions allow contractors then to go in tight or confined areas in helical piles installation as compared to the larger equipment which cannot fit into the area.
Helical piers are also advantageous in the sense that they are installed vibration free because they are turned in with a torques motor similar to a wood screw that is turned into a piece of wood. Remember that it is not advisable to work on additional structure on neighboring properties with already existing structures.
The torque of each helical pier should be continuously …

The music executive, married to pop star Thalía, has built or renovated 14 houses over the years.
The house was featured in Architectural Digest magazine March 2015 issue

Tommy Mottola's Georgian-Inspired Estate in Greenwich, CT
Music executive Tommy Mottola is best known for guiding the careers of artists like Céline Dion and Gloria Estefan, but one of his lesser-known interests is real estate: The former chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment has built or renovated some 14 houses over the years.
"It's really one of my passions", said Mr. Mottola, who quipped: "Instead of talking to you I should be having my head examined". His latest creation, a Georgian-style estate in Connecticut, is now hitting the market for $19.95 million.
Mr. Mottola, 67, and his wife, the Mexican pop star Thalía, moved into the Greenwich estate several years ago with their two children after spending about three years designing and building the house.
Mr. Mottola said he bought the 5.7-acre property for $2.85 million in 2010. At the time, the lakefront property was vacant and overgrown. "Unless you had a machete, you wouldn't know there was a lake there", he recalled.
The exterior of the Georgian-style house, with a columned portico, is meant to reflect "the tradition of backcountry Greenwich", Mr. Mottola said. Inside, it has gallery-like, contemporary interiors to display the couple's art collection, which includes works by Andy Warhol and Keith Haring.
The nine-bedroom house spans roughly 12,300 square feet, not including a lower level that contains a gym, play room and beauty salon/massage room where Thalía gets her hair and makeup done, according to real-estate agent Lyn Stevens of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, who has the listing with colleague Robin Kencel.
A large entertaining space the couple calls "the lodge" has 30-foot-high ceilings topped by a cupola. Thalía and Mr. Mottola each have their own two-story dressing room. The home's four levels are accessed by an elevator. A terrace with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace overlooks the lake, Ms. Stevens said.
The gated estate also includes an outdoor swimming pool with a covered dining area where the family eats dinner most evenings in good weather, Mr. Mottola said. There's also a carriage house which Thalía uses as a recording studio. They also built a footbridge to a private island on the lake. "It looks like a Monet painting", Mr. Mottola said. The property is "like adult camp", Ms. Stevens said.
Greenwich, an affluent community about 35 miles outside Manhattan, saw a slowdown in 2016, but "we've been seeing some better traction at the high end", Ms. Stevens said. A home on Oneida Drive in Greenwich sold in January for $19.25 million, she said.
Mr. Mottola, co-producer of the Broadway musicals A Bronx Tale and Groundhog Day, said he considers this house to be his primary home. He's selling because he's planning to start construction on another home in Greenwich, along with new homes in Palm Beach, Florida and Aspen, Colorado, where he previously owned a ranch.
His constant desire for new homes, he said, "comes from my mother — we moved about 12 times when I was a kid. It's in my DNA".

By Aman Deep:
Panjab University is considered to be a center of excellence and learning, but when it comes to gender equality, its indiscriminate attitude towards female students comes to the fore in a very hideous manner. I am pursuing my Ph.D in the University, and in my 4 years' experience as a resident in the University hostel, I have come across many incidents that seriously challenge all claims of "learning" and "equality".
This Valentine's Day, a notice was circulated in all the girls' hostels dictating the wardens to keep the gates of their respective hostels closed from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm to "avoid any untoward incident". The authorities shirk their responsibility by playing safe and making the students sign an undertaking to be responsible for any consequences. Unfortunately, the decision to hole the girls up in the hostels is not the first of its kind. The freedom and space of girls have always been invaded in the name of their "security" and "safety". Recently, the gates were closed on the Valentine's Day, but they have done the same during Holi. Earlier, in the name of safety, the girls were caged in the hostels from morning till late noon. Despite tremendous efforts from the students, the authorities reluctantly agreed to allow girls out only after they signed an undertaking stating that they themselves will be responsible for any mishappening.
The regulation and control on their lives starts immediately after the girls take accommodation in the hostels. The female residents are locked inside the hostels at 10 PM. It is ridiculous that there is a time limit to their movements even inside the hostel premises. Further, monetary fines are extorted from them over insignificant matters. The girls line up in queue everyday at 9 PM to mark their attendances as if they were prisoners, and the gatekeepers count their number. Second, it is mandatory for the female residents to make entries in a register whenever they go to their homes. If ever they forget to make entries, they are liable to pay fine. If any girl returns to hostel after 10:30 PM, she is forced to pay the fine there and then. Whenever the girls raise their voice against the time "limit", the authorities try to justify their decision by saying that the girls are allowed six late entries in a month till 10:30 PM – 'is it not sufficient?' At night, the reading room of the library is open for studying, but not for girls! If they choose to go to library at night, they cannot return before 5 AM in the morning when the hostel gates open again. And the solution which authorities offer is to build a reading room inside the girls' hostels, further segregating the girls from society. Even though girls constitute 70% of the total student population, their participation in campus activities is minimal. Their participation in even the Students Union elections, which is supposed to be a democratic platform for students to express their voice, is reduced just to add a glamour quotient to the election campaigns.
One must note that there is no such restriction on the boys. They can do whatever they wish to. The tradition of "gedi" near the girls' hostels in the evening has almost become a ritual in Panjab University. The result is that serious issues like eve-teasing and sexual harassment are rampant in the campus and go on unchecked by the authorities. Ironically, more rules and restrictions are imposed on the female residents if they raise their voice against this.
Surprisingly, there is no check on not only the boys of the University, but also a huge number of boys from different colleges who roam around the girls' hostels. The security guards deployed in every corner of the University also try to control and blame the girls. The University that deploys large number of security guards and police personnel for the girls' safety in the daytime hardly seems to be bothered when the girls are "locked" inside the hostels in the night and the boys gather in front of the girls' hostels, drunk, and play loud music. On the night of Valentine's Day also, the authorities that had become votaries of "female safety" in the daytime and turned a deaf ear to the drunk boys who created a nuisance outside the girls' hostels at midnight.
To add to the absurdity of the life of a girl student in the campus, the female residents have to pay fine if they lose the keys of their rooms and require the services of the guards to break the locks. They are made to write an application and pay a fine of twenty rupees in order to enter their rooms again.
Perhaps this is not sufficient enough! The callous and anti-woman stance of the University again came to fore when, instead of addressing the root causes behind the rising incidents of suicides in the campus, it decided to install grills in the balconies of girls' hostels. What's more weird is that grills have been installed only in girls' hostels, although there have been cases of suicides in boys' hostels as well. The attitude of the authorities was appalling and shameless. The decision was revoked only when the girls protested outside the Vice-Chancellor office and undertook a room-to-room signature campaign against this decision, and submitted a memorandum to the Dean Student Welfare and the Vice-Chancellor.
In light of such iniquity, the students feel hesitant to even speak out their minds in the face of such discrimination on campus. Most of the girls refuse to understand the situation objectively. They think that they are in the campus only to build their careers and do not wish to get into any 'trouble' while they are in the University. Perhaps their fear is also genuine to a certain extent because even the wardens threaten the girls of dire consequences if they don't comply with the orders. There is no democratic body in the campus to address the grievances of the students. We are currently conducting a survey on gender discrimination and sexual harassment in the campus. The preliminary reports convey that female students feel the need of a a democratic women's cell that can address the problems of the students.
As we look more closely and try to probe the reasons behind these bizarre and ridiculous rules that regulate the lives of the female residents in the University, it becomes quite evident that the authorities also perpetuate the patriarchal and repressive structures that have always suppressed and exploited women over the ages. There is a department of gender studies in the campus, but even that has failed to impart rational and creative spirit in the students. All this is not confined merely to the university. It is a reflection of the same gender bias existing in our society to which women have been subjected, of the patriarchy which systematically operates to oppress women. They face discrimination in every phase of life, be it of lower wages as compared to men, their unrecognized labor in the agricultural fields, or their sexual exploitation at the hands of the landlords, contractors, and employers. Women are treated as second grade citizens who have lesser rights as compared to men. The cases of rapes, acid attacks, dowry deaths, molestation, etc. have become very common. Not only this, feudal values with religion at its back also provide the ideological basis to suppress women.
Educational institutions have the responsibility to inculcate the ideas of equality in the students. It is, thus, unfortunate that a section of society is excluded from participating in any meaningful activity or decision making process only because the University is more concerned about providing "safety" and "security" rather than thinking about any meaningful methods to root out these problems. It may claim to be one of the best universities in the country, but Panjab University has failed most of its female students.

Riddle me this.
There is something everyone has the same amount of.
As we grow older, it seems to disappear much faster.
And despite what we do, it continues to slip elusively through our fingers.
What is it?
There are hundreds of books and thousands of articles all aimed at one critical action: tricks and tips for helping us get productive and squeeze more time out of every single day.
After all, we have the same amount of time in the day as every single successful author, writer, entrepreneur, and business guru out there. We are on a level playing field when it comes to time.
(Unless they have a secret time machine they are utilizing and haven't shared that knowledge with the world. I wouldn't blame them if that were the case).
But successful people do have a few productivity tricks up their sleeves, the number one being:
Stop Reacting and Get Proactive.
What does that mean?
Well, let's think about it. How many times during the day are you reacting to distractions that come your way?
If you're anything like me, you're reacting all the time! A text message comes you, you stop and reply to it. Your phone rings, you pick it up. The next second 5 emails zoom into your inbox, so you stop to check those.
Meanwhile, well, there's Facebook right there, so you check it, comment on something, and next thing you know, you have 27 notifications.
Ah, but now that Tweet Chat you love to join is starting, so you need to get on Twitter right away.
But, you should have been writing that blog posts, or proposal, so you pull that up. And now you're hungry and making a healthy gourmet lunch just has to happen!
You can't sacrifice your health at a time like this, but the weather is perfect, you probably should go on a run right now before the rain clouds come in.
Maybe those examples are a bit overkill, or that's actually how your day rolls. The truth is; successful people don't roll like that. They aren't reacting to all the distractions that dive into their lives every other minute.
In fact, instead of reacting, successful people are proactive.
Have you ever watched an action movie, or suspense and thriller, and the antagonist seems always to be two steps ahead of the protagonist? Or vice versa?
It's because they already anticipated all the reactions, and created a strategy that will produce the desired result, regardless of what complications arise.
Successful people know this, and they plan their day around that technique. Yes, that's right, they plan their days, and you can do the same.
So here's your actionable tip for today – take one thing you're reacting to and schedule it! Take emails, for example. Instead of checking email every other minute, schedule 1 hour at the beginning of the day and an 1 hour towards the end of the day. Read those emails, respond to the priority ones, and schedule the others for later in the day or another time.
If you're constantly reacting to everything that comes your way, you won't have time to turn your dreams into reality.
Take your productivity to the next level with these time-saving techniques.
Join the discussion, what are you going to STOP reacting to and START being proactive about?

Video: Bugs on the loose at Science Centre
Imagine your toddler teething on a toy Strep virus.
Freak you out? Maybe you should read elsewhere.
Still with me?
Let's drop by the Mastermind Toys store at the Ontario Science Centre in Don Mills.
We do not seek backgammon sets, plastic dinosaurs or balloons.
No, we are on the lookout for infuenza, HIV, pimples, salmonella, Ebola virus, bed bugs, ulcers, heartworm, the plague ...
The clap?!
Yes, gonorrhea. Furry, grey, with googly eyes and an accusing stare. You can also get it on the web.
You can get the clap from the Internet?!
Calm down. It's a plush toy, in the Giant Microbes line.
Mastermind has pulled them from its 10 other GTA stores.
"They were a little over the top for that market," says the chain's co-founder Jon Levy, 44. "It was an awkward fit.
"People in a toy store really didn't want a plush HIV virus."
No. Not when they're shopping for the latest LEGO.
Not even with educational tags that explain, for instance, that the homely blue common cold virus loves low humidity.
I wish I'd been a flea on the wall when the first kid blurted out, "What is syph-il-lis, mommy?"
So, Mastermind moved all its Giant Microbes stock to the Science Centre outlet. Shoppers there already are in the right frame of mind for malaria, mange and mono.
The toys are based on the real bugs, except a million times bigger.
I bet, despite a shaky start, the cuddly, creepy crawlers will be a smash. They are infectious.
Our city editors rave about the Rabies I gave them. The comfy Mange fits right in on our copy desk.
Indeed, there is a germ for everyone on your Christmas list.
We all have an uncle who will get a kick out of receiving Halitosis. Bad breath. Greenish blue, sort of the colour you turn when your uncle talks to you.
Got a farmer in the family? Mad Cow will make his day. A mild-looking cylindrical thing, with Holstein cow markings. (The latter are poetic licence by the toy designer.)
Heartworm sends just the right message to the louse, or lousette, who broke up with you.
No shy, self-conscious teen should be without Pimple. Pink and plush. But, please, do not squeeze.
Think of all the times you gave people the flu or a cold. Now, each such gift will cost you $8.95, but they might actually appreciate it. (See mastermindtoys.com)
The teacher? Head Lice if you're in kindergarten. Sleeping Sickness if it's a college lecturer.
Flesh Eating Disease for Mike Tyson. Red and shaped like an ear. The designers added a fork and knife.
Hep C for Pamela Anderson. You could get it tattooed in a back alley.
Be very, very careful to whom you send a plush toy Herpes.
I would take a pass on HIV. Plush, but also small, dark and grim.
How about Salmonella or E. Coli for the chef or grocer in your life? Or Stomach Ache. Any restaurateur would be proud to display a furry friend on each table. Gives couples something to talk about while they wait for their raw clams.
Avoid yersinia pestis like, well, like The Plague.
Or give it to your doctor. So to speak.
"The essence," says Mastermind's Levy, "is how far you can go up the gross-out scale with these things."
Who can say where it might lead?
SARS would be a big seller here, now that we know what it looks like.
Might even make it less monstrous.
I would not recognize gingivitis if it smacked me in the mouth, but I bet it has major gross-out appeal.
Brain cells?
I dug up a picture. Brain cells are quite cute.
We could send gift baskets of them to Queen's Park after Oct. 10.

Cabinets Galore
The end of March also brings a flurry of work on cabinets. We wanted cabinets that were good looking, inexpensive, well built and custom fit. The only way to get all that was to build them ourselves. With the proper tools, you can make your own cabinetry. We had accumulated much of the tools from making the cabinets from the previous house: joiner, planer, drill press, finish and staple guns, nice table saw, joining jigs, biscuit tools, sanders, and a newly acquired drum sander.
I had argued that we only needed 4 cabinets: bathroom, cooktop, sink, and oven. The rest could be built once we moved in. It turned out that we really need all the bottom cabinets to be made at the same time. However, we could cheat by not making any drawers, doors, or upper cabinets, which was a big savings of time.
It took around a month and a half to build the cabinets, install the granite tile counters, and install the sinks and appliances:
By May 5th Steve built the railing for the stairwell (AKA buffalo jump):
