I travel out of town each week for my job. My mother is getting more forgetful and doesn't take care of herself like she used to. I hired Stay At Home about six months ago and I can tell you they are the real deal. Mom's caregiver Bridget is so thoughtful and kind. She checks in on Mom each day I'm away, to help her manage her home, prepare meals, do the shopping, laundry, drive her for errands, etc. Bridget is dependable and gives me a peace of mind I cannot put into words. So much of my guilt has been lifted since I hired Stay At Home Senior Care. I highly recommend them!

Garden Centres and Nurseries near Hastings - some new ones
I've done two posts about garden centres before. The first one is now quite old, but remains consistently in the most-visited top ten, and the more recent follow-up, is also very popular. So, for this post, off Battleaxe goes again, finding yet more new places to visit and enjoy.
We went over to Cripps Corner, between Sedlescombe and Bodiam, to Ed's Nursery and the Staplecross Shrub Centre.
Ed's Nursery is a very traditional place - lots of interesting-looking plants, and a knowledgable, elderly lady tending them. Plants looked healthy and prices were very reasonable. I bought a yellow crocosmia but didn't take any photos. No website either.
Over the road, the Staplecross Shrub Centre. Wow, what a truly bonkers, interesting place. It is a big site, with big old trees all round. There is an old railway carriage that has been converted into a café - we had a coffee there - and the headquarters of the Hastings Tramway Club. They have the only two remaining Hastings trams, currently under restoration, and a miniature tram running along little rails. We met a nice man and told him we'd go back and look at his trams, but got so carried away with our wisteria we didn't visit him again. We will, honestly, promise!
|Railway carriage cafe
|Old Hastings tram
In addition to the trams they had this vintage bus - apparently heading to West Hampstead - with its attendant roundabout, and various other strange things....
The plants - mostly shrubs and climbers - were looking a tiny bit tired but it is not the best time of year and it has been very dry. However, they had a very good selection.
Joy of joys, they had some enormous wisterias. We are currently creating a pergola in the back garden, and we wanted a wisteria to grow on it. Wisteria is very slow growing, so we needed the biggest one we could afford. Otherwise, we'd be dead before we had a good show of flowers. We found an absolute whopper, so big it would only just fit in the car, for a mere £27.99. The woman we spoke to - who had hair redder than mine - was very knowledgable.and friendly.
I also got a blue clematis. We had a lovely one on the back fence but when the hedge cutting man came, unfortunately it somehow lost most of its stems, cut off at the roots. The new one should supplement the remains of the old one.
Yes, the place is bonkers, but Battleaxe would recommend Staplecross Shrubs - combined with a call into Ed's, it makes a good trip out. You can have lunch in the railway carriage too, or even brave Blackbrooks on the way back to Hastings.
On Friday, I set off in the other direction with some WI folk, to Marchant's Hardy Plants, off the A22, in Laughton, on the Lewes Road. It was a lovely sunny day. I had no clue what to expect, but when we arrived, I was absolutely bowled over. They have a fabulous garden with views over the South Downs. The nursery specialises in grasses - elegant seed heads waved in the breeze, surrounded by blocks of colour. Many of the plants were really unusual - we spent ages peering and speculating.
Then, joy of joys, back to the plant centre and they actually had, available for sale, the plants that we saw in the garden. That might sound obvious but so often you visit gardens and go to the plant centre to find a boring generic selection.
The plants looked lovely and healthy and prices were very reasonable. Graham Gough, a former classical singer who runs the place is charming..... what more can I say? Marchant's is totally excellent and Battleaxe would one hundred percent recommend a visit. It has loos, but only downside, no café..... we had to return to Wyevale on the A22 for our lunch.
Wvevale itself is a high quality garden centre- bigger and better than the one in Hastings - and the café is very good. So, that's another ideal outing - coffee at Wyevale, on to Marchant's, lunch at Wyevale plus browsing for garden basics.
So, all good.
Another thing I've done this week that I feel pleased about: sanding down and re-waxing our 1960s Ercol elm dining table. We've had it for 17 years - got it in Birmingham off Ebay, and the guy we bought it from said it needed resurfacing then...... We never did it, and over the years it had grown somewhat sticky and nearly black in places. You could hardly see the beautiful grain of the wood.
Here it is, sanded down, and after four coats of Ercol wax.
Philosopher has been working on the pergola. Here it is, finished. He also made that mosaic picture, by the way. The walls are a brick built barbeque, built by the previous owners of this house. For the past five years we have been looking at the gloomy little area and not doing much with it, but then inspiration struck. You can see the new wisteria on the left, already at the top of the structure, and beginning to curve over. In a while I'll move those pots and we'll install some seating. Excellent.

text: Okay, so, pretty much since day uno, my DS Lite has had issues. The top screen tends to blur, and leave trails, which I've heard on other forums is NOT supposed to happen. So, my main question here is, am I supposed to get any blurring trails? Also, the second screen has a protective film over it. Do the newer models still have that, or no? Thanks for reading, and hopefully answering :3

Bent over – row can be performed with both heavy weights or light weights but to really work your back you need to do it with a weight that enables you to control the weight from the way up and down without cheating, I know most of us got ego and we end up doing things the wrong way, the more heavy you go the more you will struggle but it all depends on what you are training for either strength or hypertrophy.
Here are some of the strongest man who can do bent over rows exercise with insane heavy weight but most with messed up form except ronnie coleman.

Tips and Tricks
Getting started on Twitter
The speakers at our recent panel on social networking for grad students had a number of great tips on how — and why — to get started on Twitter. While the medium has a justifiable reputation as being full of trivia, it's also becoming a useful source of up-to-the-minute information for researchers.
The tips fall into three general categories.
1. Use Twitter to stay on top what's happening in your field
- Create a Twitter account and look up the top researchers in your field. Find their Twitter feeds, if they have them, and "follow" them.
- Find out if any faculty members (especially your supervisor) in your department have Twitter accounts, and "follow" them. (The Beedie School of Business has built a helpful aggregate list of faculty tweeters.)
- Once you've followed someone, check out who they're following. You may find some familiar names of other leaders in your field who should also be followed.
- Find the main granting agencies in your field and follow them. Here are a few big ones for SFU students:
- Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada
- Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
- Canadian Institutes of Health Research
- Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research
- Mitacs (source of a number of graduate internships)
- Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada
- Find the main journals in your field and follow their feeds. Or follow some of the main media aggregators such as @TimesScience, @nprscience or @NatureNews for a broader view of what's going on in your field.
- Find the main organizations or associations in your field and follow their twitter feeds.
- If there's an upcoming conference in your field, take a look at the major speakers to find out if they have twitter accounts.
- If there's a company that you'd like to work for after graduation, follow that company's twitter feed to get familiar with its issues and hot topics.
- Join the Tweet Your Science database: tweetyourscience.com / @tweetyoursci
- Find your SFU department's and/or faculty's Twitter account and follow it. Your department will focus on your field and send out scholarships, job postings and networking opportunities. See list of all SFU Twitter accounts.
2. Use Twitter to find out what's happening at SFU
- See the list of Twitter accounts for many SFU departments and service units.
- Follow key accounts such as SFU, IT Services (updates on down time), the SFU Library, Student Central and of course, Graduate Studies!
- Follow Translink's twitter feed for updates on transit issues.
3. Use Twitter to stay on top of trends in higher education
- GradHacker: Tips for grad students by grad students
- PhD Comics: For a little comic relief
- Chronicle of Higher Education: Trends in and survival tips for university life
- University Affairs: News from Canadian universities
- AUCC: Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada
- Academica: News from Canadian universities
- Inside Higher Education: News from the world of higher education (US-centric)
- Times Higher Education: Global news from higher education
- Twitter for Academics: Resources
Note that none of the above recommendations involve a lot of writing your own tweets. We're recommending that you use Twitter as a research tool to begin with, and just send out tweets when you get comfortable with the medium. (Do remember that everything you send out becomes part of the public record, so if you're job-hunting, you probably don't want to be tweeting photos of yourself at a party.) More tips in this article: 100 Serious Twitter Tips for Academics.
If you're tweeting on behalf of the university, do read SFU's Social Media Protocols.
If you have any other useful twitter accounts to add to these lists, please leave a comment below, and we'll get it added.

Locally Carnaby's cockatoo's are commonly called 'white tails'.
We had Carnaby's black cockatoo's visit!
Whit tails don't visit very often and they are rarer then the forest red tail black cockatoo which are threatened.
Carnaby's cockatoo's are so much rarer in fact that they are listed as "fauna that is rare or is likely to become extinct" by Western Australia's Wildlife Conservation Act. Another endangered species along with animals such as the bonobo, snow leopard and both the hyacinth and lear's macaw.
The males have a dark beak and pink eye rings whilst females have a pale beak, grey eye rings and paler ear patches.

The word »smart« crops up a lot in connection with future energy supply. It indicates a transition away from the old method whereby power is generated and transmitted to the consumer according to demand. The increasing use of renewable and often weather-dependent energy sources requires special components and control methods to ensure that the electricity grid remains stable. At the same time, private and commercial users should not have to suffer usage restrictions or other inconveniences, and there should be no major increase in energy prices as a result. The information and communication technology that has until now been used primarily at higher voltage levels in the transmission and medium-voltage grids will also become widespread in the low-voltage grid and among end consumers.
Since 2010, new buildings have been fitted with smart meters, which allow energy usage data to be shown on a special display in homes. This display encourages consumers to save energy, and the consumption data can be transmitted to the energy provider via a gateway. This makes monthly billing possible and rewards energy-saving behavior.
Under the German Energy Industry Act (Energiewirtschaftsgesetz) §21 c and e, smart metering systems will become binding from 2015, wherever technically feasible, for new buildings, old buildings that undergo extensive renovations, consumers whose demand exceeds 6,000 kWh, combined heat and power plants and other renewable energy generation plants as defined by the German Renewable Energy Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz) which exceed 7 kW, and businesses with protection profile certification from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
According to the BSI protection profile, one of the primary goals for a smart metering gateway is the security of consumption data. Integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality must be ensured when transmitting meter data. Another primary goal is the security of power grids. This is achieved by means of firewalls for protection against cyber attacks and dedicated interfaces for WAN (wide area networks), HAN (home area networks), and LMN (local metering networks).
Through our work in committees and associations, we make a decisive contribution toward the implementation of standards, the specification of web services, and the drawing up of a standardization roadmap for smart cities.

text: When an entrepreneur starts a business, probably the last thing they think about is the culture they are going to create within it. Yet, it is probably the most powerful force that, later, drives the company forward...or not. The business concept, the underlying technology, the great idea are usually what becomes the underpinning foundation that births the business. But, once all this migrates from the founder(s) to its first employee(s) is truly when it becomes a business...and when the actual DNA of the business is established. Its soul! In this session the importance of small business culture will be confirmed and the significant role it actually plays in the ultimate success of a venture described. Further, examples will be detailed for how to create a culture where employees have a sense of mission and passion for the company's success.

tv Reliable Sources CNN December 25, 2011 11:00am-12:00pm EST
11:00 am
population is christian. and that percentage has been relatively constant for the last 100 years. go to our web site for more questions. thank you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next year and next week. stay tuned for "reliable sources." it's been a dizzying year for those of us in the news business as we've lurched from one scandal to another, one political candidate to another, one foreign revolution to another. think about it -- anthony weiner, dsk, herman cain, jerry sandusky, the campaign, donald trump, michele bachmann, rick perry, newt gingrich. the world stage, turmoil in tunisia, in egypt, in libya, in syria. we'll examine whether the media's coverage of these fast-moving events has been serious, sensational, or superficial, a year-end report card of sorts. plus, a conversation with ben smith, who's leaving "politico" for buzzfeed. what is that?
11:01 am
and a look back at our most provocative interviews of 2011. i'm howard kurtz, and this is the christmas day edition of "reliable sources." it's been a better year for scandal. some sleazy, some superficial, all devoured by the media. perhaps the most chilling came from the world of sports. first at penn state, then at syracuse university with popular coaches accused of horrendous acts. >> in retrospect, i -- you know, i shouldn't have showered with these kids. >> what's it? >> yeah, well, that's what hits me the most. >> are you a pedophile? >> no. >> another major scandal involved a global media corporation, the one run by rupert murdoch with a slew of top executives arrested in a massive phone hacking operation.
11:02 am
>> did you close the paper down because of the criminality? >> yes, we felt ashamed at what had happened and wanted to bring it to a close. >> and there were the inevitable political sex scandals. one topping a congressman, one exposing the dark side of a french politician, still another forcing a candidate out of the presidential race. >> is there a picture out there was you in your drawers that you are worried about? >> i think any normal person could say with certainty whether a picture was a photo of them or not. >> that's not a public of you? >> you know, i can't say with certitude my system was hacked. pictures can be manipulated, dropped in and inserted. >> strauss-kahn who denies all charge pleaded not guilty and was released in house arrest. what do you want? >> i want justice. i want him to go to jail.
11:03 am
i want him to know you cannot use your power like this. >> i know these are awkward questions, but i'll ask the questions that are going to be asked -- was this an affair? >> no. >> was there sex? >> no. >> none? >> no. >> with the nonstop scandals, jamie mcintyre, newscaster at mpr and senior pentagon correspondent. lauren ashburn, former managing editor of "usa today" and a contributor to the "huffington post." and fred frances, former nbc correspondent who now consults with clients dealing with the media in times of crisis. lauren ashburn, we had dominic strauss-kahn accused of groping a maid, anthony weiner aar, acc of sending pictures of his private parts. why is this so much in the media? >> it was like a train wreck. we were here listening to the tape shaking our heads saying, how can these people just go out and deny and deny and deny? you know, it's the entertainment value of it. i've always said it's the peoplization of the media.
11:04 am
we all love to see people fail. >> not to say these aren't serious allegations that should be covered. >> no, no, not at all. i'm not saying that. i'm telling you why the media covers what's going to get ratings. what's going to have interest, and these kind of stories have a lot of interest. >> there's also a loss of privacy that's been experienced with the explosion of new media and ways to get information out. it's just simply not possible to keep things secret and to cover up things that in the past you could. >> take the lens of coverage, titillation of famous people plus sexual misconduct equals circulation and ratings, or is there some lasting meaning to the stories? >>le wiell, the stories that yo highlighted are all important people in positions. these are not frivolous stories, nor are they frivolous charges. so you can have fairly high-brow coverage of low-prou stories. >> and fred frances, a lot of it revolves around lying. people saying they didn't do it.
11:05 am
dominic strauss-kahn said this was consensual sex. and herman cain said it was character assassination, none of the women was telling the truth. then the media turned it into a character test for the public figures. >> in each of ftd cases and so many others, it's an example of the arrogance and ego when people get to the power they are. it's the demonstration of their arrogance -- >> but it doesn't mean that we have to go wall to wall with it. >> i want get to -- >> no, you have to -- >> i think you're wrong. >> why am i wrong? >> right -- fred was going to agree. in the case of herman cain, it's a presidential candidate. in the case of sandusky, this was a guy who was one of the legends at penn state. wall to wall is not i think appropriate, but i think a serious discussion and a lot of time spent on figuring this out is important. >> the strauss-kahn case is compelling, the narrative was that he was a letch. the media latched on to it on
11:06 am
that yet failed to think about ms. dialo having her own problems. >> it was something of a rush to judgment. everybody treated the guy like he was guilty. >> it was a rush to judgment. >> and to clarify, she credibility problems. she had lied to investigators. >> but so did a lot of the women who said they were sexually harassed or the woman who said she had an affair with herman cain. >> it's your point about whether the amount of coverage is over the top, that's a function of how the media has changed. all news cable outlets like cnn and other don't have to be the newscast of record of every important thing that happened today. they can and often do just focus on a couple of trending stories and smother them with coverage. i think with the news these days that's not entirely indefensible. >> let me make the point about anthony weiner. he was given multiple opportunities to come deleon. >> he went on 27 shows and said he didn't do, it then he said in
11:07 am
a press conference, yeah -- >> in the new year, hopefully we don't have to hear anthony weiner joke. >> and there were some going ones. we teach our clients in 15 seconds to tell the truth. even if it's a bad news story, the truth is only going to be a couple of days story, maybe a week. if you lie, it stretches it out to three weeks. >> that's -- >> that's the train wreck you were talking about of -- >> you just go -- people who are watching, you have a gut feeling about something. you can look into somebody's eyes, all the body language stuff that people tell you about. you can look into their eyes and say, hmm, he's looking down, i don't believe this -- >> and you may haven't to look at his eyes, there were pictures -- >> geez. >> last joke of the year. sorry. >> a very different tone as you started to allude to to the case of bernie fine at syracuse and jerry sandusky at penn state. now you have children involved. in a presidential campaign, allegations come up, smeome peoe
11:08 am
have fun with. these were not fun. >> it was sickening. >> it's a sad state of affairs when there needs to be parental guidance for people to watch a newscast. >> tiger woods, wall to wall with that. >> indeed. and the dart here goes to espn that had an audiotape of the syracuse coach for over a year -- >> no, eight years -- >> eight years. i'm sorry. >> the top executive said we didn't have enough, we didn't have a corroborating source. these are tough calls. >> if that audiotape had been of herman cain it would have been on senior citizen that day. >> the event -- on cnn that day. >> the event was even though the allegations were credible and the story was serious, we sought initially a backlash again the media. many people in the penn state community in particular felt the media was overplaying the story and going overboard, we even saw the demonstrations from people. >> that was until jerry sandusky went on national television and
11:09 am
you heard that clip. you're in the p.r. business. why would anybody allow him to do that? >> it's not just that as a lawyer allowed him to go television. it's that his lawyer has been trying to drum up media support. he's been trying to sell his story, and as if he were not an unsympathetic character as it is -- >> "the new york times." >> selling it to "the new york times." >> sell it -- it went on. >> in my view, the local press as is often the case in college towns builds up cases -- joe paterno who did nothing when he heard about the allegations, turned them into demagogues. >> and the harrisburg reporter came out and said, hey, this is going on, i'm publishing it. >> she was on the program, she did a great job. she's in her early 20s. and "the harrisburg patriot news" deserves a lot of credit. i want to turn to the murdoch phone hacking scandal. "news of the world" got shot down. for the revelations and people whose phones were hacked into, not just celebrities and royals, by the way, how much did this
11:10 am
tarnish or not tarnish murdoch and the news corp.? >> if you had followed the case and seen tactics employed by the british press to get information -- some of it is just shocking. you know, i've always been a critic of what's going on in the american press. and it -- but it always compares favorably to what's going on in britain. >> right. >> and these hearings have laid bare a lot of that process. >> and cnn's piers morgan testified in the inquiry, he was asked about some quotes that had been attributed to him a few years back. a widespread practice, he said, of the phone hacking. loads of journalists were doing it. he says now, i was repeating the fleet street rumor mill. >> he wasn't exactly doing it. piers morgan of cnn took the equivalent of the fifth when he wouldn't talk about how he learned that sir paul mccartney was talking to his elk wife, how he learned of that transcript of that phone message. he refused to answer that question. and i think he has to come clean. >> he said he was protecting his source. >> yeah --
11:11 am
>> but he didn't take the fifth in denying that he had firsthand knowledge of phone hacking. was that proven -- parliamentary inquiry, did it prove that he did? >> the fact is so many reporters of the reporters, "the news of the world" and ""daily mirror" er, he was an editor of both. they said he knew what was going on. >> they said they believed he knew. i want to make that distinction. lauren ashburn, is there any lesson -- it's easy to be snooty from our side of the atlantic, say those british tabloids. >> right. >> a lot of american organizations do questionable things. is there any lesson here from the revolting behavior that some of these people pulled off -- >> i think we've talked about this a lot. you've had chris cuomo on the program cha who has talked about how it seems as if by paying licenses fees that we're offering people money to appear on television. and that is a slippery slope. >> nbc has stopped that, to its credit. >> all done it over the years. i have done it at nbc.
11:12 am
other reporters have done it. you buy documents. you pay for video -- >> photographs. family souvenirs. all right. >> photographs. >> it's still pay for play. >> glad to have that confession. when we come back, presidential campaign in which the media seemed to give each candidate 15 minutes of fame. a look at the 2012 coverage in a moment. truth is, nyquil doesn't un-stuff your nose. really? [ male announcer ] alka-seltzer plus liquid gels fights your worst cold symptoms, plus it relieves your stuffy nose. [ deep breath ] thank you! that's the cold truth!

11:15 am
the presidential campaign has been a roller coaster ride for the press with one republican front-runner after the other, one strange obsession after another. >> he doesn't have a birth certificate or hasn't shown it. he has what's called a certificate of live birth. that is something that's easy to get. >> michele bachmann won. that certainly cements her position as a serious player in this race. >> michele bachmann is in sync with a lot of the mood of the primary voter on the republican side right now. >> i would do away with the education, the -- commerce. and let's see --
11:16 am
>> oh, my. >> i can't, the third one i can't. sorry. oops. >> the pundits would like for me to shut up, drop out, and go away. >> if anyone's dirty, it's newt gingrich. a man whose personal morality has been drawn from the sewer. a man who pontificates about his catholic faith and morality but repeatedly commits adultery. >> we'll take a second to recoil from that. you could say it's been a wild and crazy campaign, and it has. or you could say journalists have a.d.d. and keep flighting from one trivial story to the next. >> or voters have a.d.d. or the republican candidates -- >> you can't blame the voters. they haven't even voted yet. there hasn't been a single vote. >> the polls, i guess. >> okay. >> it's been an extremely fascinating phenomenon to watch the coverage of the republican presidential candidates as they go -- as we lurch from one to
11:17 am
the other. i'm not sure what lesson you can draw from that except -- go ahead. >> the media gets a i did proportionate amount of coverage. when it get drilled down, cain, others, they fade away -- >> how come people were so sad that cain left? now we're covering health care, right? i mean -- >> deal with the issues. >> you don't have to talk about an issue. >> you know, as we have caromed from one candidate and story to the next, we not only let -- it's funny to watch now, wouldn't let donald trump dominate this race. the guy was never going to get into the race. for weeks and weeks. but you could say the media let him push the obama birther issue, the phony issue, into the mainstream coverage. >> you could make the opposite statement that in each of these candidates that flamed out over time, it's because there was intense scrutiny of the things that they said. whether it was herman cain's 9-9-9 plan or whether it was his personal life or whether it was
11:18 am
newt gingrich and his record and his congress. in each case, we've seen them sort of raise to the top. we've seen a lot of tough reporting. then we've seen the fortunes change -- >> i have to agree with you about the voters. i think that among the republican party they're waiting for ronald reagan to come in with his lasso and on his horse. and yet they have all of these other people that they're not satisfied with. therefore, as you say with the polls, it goes up and down. forget it -- >> the polls don't just go up and down by themselves. there is the question -- the debates have been a major feature. there is a question of media coverage. and if we certainly drill down, to use your phrase o herman cain's tax plan or mitt romney's health care plan in massachusetts, all of that, why do journalists only do that when somebody is rising in the polls? it almost seems like we can only cover one or two candidates at a time. everyone else gets a pass. the new person rises up and investigative reporters get unleashed. >> look at the control room. if you've been in the cnbc
11:19 am
control room, there are 100 monitors. it's no wonder that reporters have a.d.d. we do focus on one -- we've done that. we go to the next, okay, arab spring, next, back to crane kraun. it's difficult to keep -- herman cain. it's difficult to keep all the balls in the air. >> you're buying the short attention span they're? >> i am. >> and the reason we don't give mitt romney the coverage is because the complaint is that he's boring. where is it written that a candidate has to be entertaining? >> and it might be good for the country. >> so are you suggesting that, you know, this is not just about the candidates who rise and then seemingly, inevitable fall in the gop polls. but remember all the noncandidates -- how many weeks and months did we spend, sairp might run, chris kristi was going to come in, saying it's not too late for someone to get in. meaning me. >> the other thing is how often the conventional wisdom is wrong. how often the candidates were written off early -- >> newt gingrich. >> then reality sets in and we
11:20 am
discover that all of the conventional -- the appealing narrative that's been pushed along by the media turns out to be flatly not true. >> i give you ron paul, okay? if we're talking about a quirky oddball kind of candidate, this man may win iowa. and he's been all but ignored the last seven or eight weeks. >> this is a fascinating case story. the editor of "national review" and republican pundits are trying to discredit ron paul. they didn't worry before. they say if paul wins the iowa caucuses, no one should take them seriously again. in other words, will be discounted by them -- discounted because ron paul went out, organized, got people excited and managed to win. >> he's wrong for the reason she said. it's conventional wisdom. if you see the iowa caucus -- he will drop in the polls and ron
11:21 am
paul will have money pouring in like we've never seen. >> this brings us to what we were discussing, that is the propensity of the press to people on, many would say, the candidate rising at the moment. ron paul has been out there all year. he was always going to get his share of the vote. t"the new york times" saying he used to have crazy newsletters with revolting, racist stuff, he claims he didn't see it. it was written in 2008. "the new york times" was blunt in saying we're bringing this to people's attention again. why not before? because nobody care good ron paul. >> well, you know, it's common sense that you're going to spend more time covering people who look like they'll have a chance to win. it was an something phenomenon to see the national review dedicate almost an entire issue to defeating newt gingrich once he was a viable -- >> gingrich unlike romney is great copy for the press. we love to write about his
11:22 am
colorful language and his lobbying for freddie mac and his -- >> and tiffany's. >> right. >> it's starting to pile on for newt gingrich. frank broony, of "the new york times," wrote this piece last week that was the most scathing, ticking off this sort of missianic complex that newt gingrich had. more and more people will talk about how newt gingrich compares himself to franklin delano roosevelt and -- >> i think we've been befuddled this year, we in the establishment press, as we have said, you know, michele bachmann can't win, and newt gingrich, you know, was -- you know, was kind of run out of town when he was house speaker in the nine points in pie his own people. a lot of voters and people in nap and iowa not only want to make up their own minds and not have us tell them who's viable and who's not, but for many republicans, it is actually --
11:23 am
you know, the fact that the media are ganging up on somebody in their view is a plus because they don't like the media. >> look at the way newt attacked -- what was it -- chris wallace at the debate. everybody started cheering. >> mickey mouse questions. >> there is that antipathy. we're down there with lawyers now. >> journalism has been famously been called the first rough draft of history. we're seeing rough drafts are getting rougher as time goes on. but they're also more -- they're revised more often and quicker in this information age. and i want to -- >> you all have given me different pieces of the puzzle here that amounts to what i think is a scathing indictment. you said we flip from story to story. you said we're bored by something like romney. you said we'd rather cover the birther issue than dig into the intick cease of health care. none of those are good. >> but none sell papers or get people to watch television. i'm saying that the factor is going after the quirky candidates and the candidate of the moment or of the week is the fact that that's the most interesting story.
11:24 am
>> let's step back. let's step back and look at this. by shedding the light on all of these people, no matter that we're doing it one teamwork, three, two, one, according to polls -- >> in kai on theic fashion -- -- chaotic flagz "tonight show." >> or if they're up in the polls or not up in the polls, i think if you look at our country as opposed to any other country, we are vetting these people in a way that is important to the decisionmaking practice. we're doing it, right? >> it reminds me of what churchill said, it was the worst form of government except every other government. this is the worst kind of journalism we've ever experienced except for the alternative. >> i think you're being too polite. yes, we're vetting the people, yes, the press digs out information and contradictions in the careers of these candidates, for voters to decide upon. the way that which we've done it, with the emphasis on entertainment values that you have action angeled and the emphasis of going from one to the other, it's been a terrible year for the president. conventional wisdom is often wrong. we can decide next week --

11:29 am
it started in tunisia and spread to egypt and libya and syria. news organizations were faced with stories of stunning proportions as protesters challenged and toppled autocratic regimes. was dangerous duty for journalists in the line of fire. especially, as it turned out, for female correspondents. >> lara was covering the celebrations in cairo last friday when she was surrounded, sexually assaulted, and beaten. >> it's like suddenly before i know what's happening, i feel hands grabbing my breasts, grabbing my crotch, grabbing me from behind. i mean, it -- and it's not one person and then it stops. it's one person and another person and another person. >> we know that covering these middle east uprisings is a dangerous business. after what happened to lara logan, who thankfully was all right, there was an outpouring from female journalists who said, yeah, the same thing happened to me, the same thing happened to me, but they hadn't
11:30 am
talked about it. >> i think it's the third rail if you're an attractive female who is in broadcast journalism. you don't want people to be saying the only reason she got her job is because she's good-looking and if she's good-looking she should expect it. you keep your mouth shut and you don't bring -- >> is that a good course of action? >> no, of course it's not a good course of action. i was on your show and talking about sexual harassment and how prevalent it is in the workplace and the herman cain issue brought it up. no one wants to talk about it or will talk about it for 60 seconds, and then again we're moving on. >> lauren's right, they don't talk about it. let me tell you what they do about it now, and not just since what happened to lara logan. what they've been doing is hiring locals -- i'll give the example of the nbc producer who covers the middle east for richard engle and producer. hired four or five big men that you hire, and who speak arabic
11:31 am
so they can hear what the crowd saying and take her out as soon as they hear the crowd talking about this woman. >> i didn't mean the same thing happened to the extent that lara logan was assaulted. but being groped, harassed -- >> happens to everyone -- >> sure. if you look, it's egypt. i mean, there is state-sanctioned violence against women, rape and torture. and so it is a culture and atmosphere. but i think we have to be careful not to say that it doesn't happen everywhere and that we don't just, you know, say it -- it's only in arab countries. >> in a mob, it happens everywhere, whether it's latin america or in tehran. >> and regard will of gender, you've been in war zones. you know, there's the danger of war, but you could be embedded, for example, with the u.s. military in afghanistan or egypt. sometimes with protesters, with mobs, that can get out of control. and there can be no defense. >> yeah. there's a natural inclination from reporters sometimes to not make the story about them. so they want to maybe not share everything that happened to them
11:32 am
personally. >> they want to be anon server? >> they want to be an observer, they don't want to seem they're becoming part of the story. the reality is whether it's lara logan or -- a lot of times they are part of the story. and their firsthand account of what's going on says something about what's going on. the attack, for instance on, lara logan says something about what was going on in the egyptian society. >> careers are made -- mine was -- covering wars -- and diminished by the risk you take and the footage you get. that's in the back of every reporter's mind when they have coverage. if they could bank, it all of these reporters will be wealthy. they will never stop covering it because it's dangerous. >> you know, i think that there are a lot of people who watched the coverage of lara logan who said, come on. the same with anderson cooper. anderson cooper of attacked -- >> roughed up -- >> right. and so was the google executive. >> and the oh, come on --
11:33 am
>> and we hear you're out there to do a job, we hear it all over blogs -- >> she's lucky she survived. she's lucky she survived alive. >> a broader question about the arab spring. with egypt and the countries, it was a white-hot story for a while for the american media. then once the u.s. citizens are no longer involved, for example, in the aerial attacks in libya, that the american media kind of lost interest, after moammar gadhafi was killed. and of course there's tremendously important stories not just for the region but the world. >> really, that phenomenon, it's undeniable that that's the case. that the interest level of the american media goes down once direct involvement is diminished. we're certainly going to see that in iraq. iraq is not going to suddenly become a very peaceful place. this going to be a lot going on in iraq. but i predict in the next year, you'll see a lot less coverage of iraq with the last u.s. troops leaving -- >> last week the last u.s. combat troops left iraq. you spent time there. the story seemed like an anti-climax. i think it's because the coverage began to fade seriously
11:34 am
a couple of years ago. was that your sense, as well? >> the extent that american forces are fighting and dying in the country, the u.s. interest is much higher. as the number began to come down and the casualties came down, the interest in the war coverage dropped. >> and the media suffered from war fatigue. >> the story in syria and the media can't get in. i've seen reporters from american and political journalists crossing the border into syria. somebody's going to get killed soon. it's such a big story in northern sawyyria that it's drawing, even though american aren't involved, it's drawing journalists in to get the inside story. that's the story -- >> briefly, lauren, even when you have access, when it gets complicated, as in egypt, with the faction that's helped topple mubarak are fighting among themselves, that's a harder story to tell. >> yes, but isn't this the year that osama bin laden was killed? does anybody remember that? we're not even talking about that at this table. >> interesting. >> right? he was killed this year. talk about short attention
11:35 am
spans. you know, and that wasn't a complicated story. you know, i just think that egypt doesn't have to be complicatid. i think we're bored. >> that was a dramatic story and story that got coverage at the time. you're right, it almost seems like it happened five years ago. thank you very much for joining us. after the break, "politico" columnist ben smith is leaving to launch buzzfeed which features videos such as pandas love to somersault in the snow. what's up with that? we'll ask him. this is an rc robotic claw.

11:39 am
you may not be familiar with the web site buzzfeed, but it's got, shall we say, an eclectic mix of stories such as is selena gomez proposing to joseph lieberman, dogs in tiny sneakers, the top ten pranks of 2011, and naked female comediennes, puts your clothes back on, really. but it's been generating buzz since ben smith, top columnist and blogger for "politico" announced that he would take over as editor. why would he make such a move? i spoke to him from new york. ben smith, welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> the last time you were on the program you were talking about giving away your news on twitter and how it was hurting your blog perhaps at "politico."
11:40 am
i'm starting to think you were plotting your exit strategy. >> no, i wasn't. no better place to be than "politico" and was having a great time. at the same time, i was feeling this -- fact that i was getting most of might have news not from any particular home page but twitter. that lots of my friends who were not so plugged in to politics are getting news from facebook and other social networks, for sure. >> most people i would dare to say even in the media don't know what buzzfeed is. here are some of the categories on the site. lol, win, cute, fail, geeky, trashy, wtf. which of those will you be in charge? is this a good fit for you, ben? >> the site's going change a lot. what isn't going to change is that right now it's the baeting viral heart of the internet. it's a place where millions of people are going to find stuff to share. and what the folks who are running the site, enormously successful already, have found that increasingly people want to share serious reporting.
11:41 am
powerful photojournalism. the stuff that, you know, hard -- the stuff that we like to do. and so it's -- it's going to be a matter of melding things together. i'm sure there will definitely be fails along the way. >> not to mention some omgs -- >> and possibly lols. >> but you're obviously very steeped in politics. as i looked at buzzfeed, i saw politics, but i saw a lot of other stuff. >> yeah. i mean -- >> how do you make it into a go-to political site for the junctiones? >> it's going to be -- we're going to do a number of verticals. my job is not to come there and just do politics for sure. the way you make -- the way you make any site great is by hiring great people. we're going to basically in politics as in other areas, we're going to hire some great reporters and turn them loose. >> so explain to people who aren't officianados of the world, a site that's driven by social media, by people sharing things with their friends, people who follow them, it's intriguing. at the same time, it's kind of
11:42 am
the turning of the majority in the sense that can lead to silly stuff. >> i think the news environment is already driven by the social media. a lot of reporters are already, like myself, very aware of what people are talking about on twitter and facebook. they're trying to answer the questions that both insiders who are on the mediums and the general public have about the things. i don't think there's any more, you know, risk of dumbing down because people like dumb stuff than there is in print newspapers. i mean, i think it's a great advance from seo, the trend of the last few years where you were trying to -- >> let me break in -- seo, search, engine, optimization, putting in words and phrases that will cause people who are searching the internet on google to find you. therefore, you get traffic. >> where specifically, to trick search engines into putting your results at the top. you're writing the dumbest headlines as possible so machines will like them. whereas making great stuff that people will like. certainly that includes cat pictures. i love cat pictures.
11:43 am
if you includes like really hard, meaningful news. includes scoops. includes great explanatory reporting. >> so the headline says he's not abandoning cat pictures. but is there a democratic element to it in the sense that do you as the new editor get to decide what goes up at the top of the page? or are the most popular things as determined by your followers and friends and enemies going to get the most prominence because they've been shared the most? >> it's something we're figuring out now. i appreciate everybody's advice. right now for instance on buzzfeed, there's a hot list which shows the hottest things on the internet. it's a mix of russians and crazy video of a guy -- i like that. as a consumer i like to see what that is. as we introduced the original content, we're certainly going to be telling people what we think is important, as well. >> everybody write ben smith. he invited thespire world to weigh in on -- the entire world to weigh in on this. given that there's a lot of traffic in summarizing,
11:44 am
borrowing, what's out there on other people's sites, is this going to be a quirkier "huffington post"? >> you know, no. we're going to do a lot less aggregation than other folks do. if you're on twitter, reading the social media, you already know what the last story is. i don't need to be the 20th one to aggregate the great story in "the new york times" because you saw "the new york times" story. that was already sherrod twitter and on facebook. what you want is the next thing in the conversation. some original or fresh take on that. or it means -- you know, it means a scoop. original reporting. to me, as a reporter, that's what is so liberating and fun about this. that -- is that we're not going to be. what's particularly the scourge of young reporters' lives now, being the 20th perfect to aggregate some great story that somebody will broke is not something we'll be doing a lot of. >> it sounds like you'll be making it up a little as you go along. an interesting challenge. >> you think? >> ben smith, thank you very much for joining us. ben smith will continue to write a weekly column for "politico."

11:51 am
i'm an affirmative action baby. i'm glad some people looked around the newsroom and said we need one of those, somebody that looks like that, that dresses like that. if that had not happened, i don't know where i'd be. so affirmative action is such a bad term now. i mean, god forbid, affirmative action. but, you know, we need it back because i look around at the networks today and there are fewer african-american correspondents than there were in the '80s. >> jim lehrer stopped by to talk act hiss history of moderating 11 presidential debates. i asked him about a famous moment on "the news hour" after the monica lewinsky story broke. this is how you handled it. >> mr. president, is that true? >> that is not true. that is not true. i did not ask anyone to tell anything but the truth. there is no improper relationship, and i intend to cooperate with this inquiry. but that is not true. >> no improper relationship.

networks paying interview subjects for pictures or videos. when congressman anthony weiner was under scrutiny for sending women lewd pictures of himself, there was a defense even though he didn't much like it. abc paid megan broussard $10,000 to $15,000, i'm told, the ones she sent him or he sent her? >> the ones she sent him. >> no pictures of him. >> no. >> did that bother you? >> no. >> does it look like she's trying to cash in, talking to abc? >> yes, it does. one of the things we have to deal with in the business. the commercial exigencies of the business reach into every aspect of reporting now. >> this wasn't your decision, but if the network didn't pay her something she might go to someone else who might well be ready to open the checkbook. >> true. i appreciate the protection you're giving me, but i don't want it. it is my decision. >> you could have walked away from it. >> i could have said don't do it. i don't because it is the state of plait right now.

Final Fantasy themes ROM looking for staff/helpers
Hi there,
As the post title and description lead on, I am creating a MUD. It is going be based around the world Final Fantasy. No game specifically, but I'm planning on basing most of the gameplay (Code based enhancements), around several games from the Series. (In American Numbers, Not Japanese) FF1, FF2, FF3, FF7.
Obviously, this is just my initial decision, which leads me my point.
I'm looking for some people with the desire to create an enjoyable Final Fantasy MUD. Not to say there aren't some out there already. I want the world to be based on a storyline. You will essentially be playing a Final Fantasy game, online. Your party members will be the other players online.
Not everything is storyline based, but I'm hoping this will avoid the grind of endlessly killing random NPCs as you level. This will help push people along in a cetain direction, also restricting some from grouping. (This is also how I plan on incorporating individual Skiffs, Ships and Airships.
PvP will be a very big part of the game, but by no means the focus. PKing will be possible, but only after meeting a list of restrictions and requirements.
My world is going to be completely original. Two automap features will be used, for the sake of 'in-town' maps (3x3 Room Grid), and a World Map map. (X by Y map, allowing more of a Map look for the overworld)
I'm looking for anyone. Be you a builder, coder or just a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, this place will be for you. Imaginative minds is what I'm seeking, not MUD experience. HOWEVER! This is a part time hobby for me. I have a full time job, and a rather active social life, but this is not to say I am never on. I'm not looking for anything more from anyone else. That being said, I am looking for an experienced programmer. Not to be my slave or code monkey, but my co-owner and partner. I do not concider myself a guru of the C language, but I do concider myself more than capable of acheiving most of the things I try to do, code wise, so you will not be doing all of the work.
Assisting with larger systems (Creating unique limit break systems, blitz systems, etc.), class creation and helping with the implementation of all the skills and spells. Tedious stuff sometimes, I know, but it has to be done!
If any of this interests you, please feel free to E-Mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can reach me via AIM (Not always on), at AndrewTolmasoff.
The MUD is in it's early stages, so do not expect to log into the game, welcomed by hundreds of bells and whistles.
Features currently in progress:
- City Automap
- Midboss's Random Item Generator
- Limit System
- Materia (OR Esper) system, haven't decided yet.
- Turn Based Combat System
- Random Encounters based on World Map location (Or current area)
My AIM again is : AndrewTolmasoff
Google Talk : email@example.com
Email : email@example.com
MUD is located at: 126.96.36.199 port 8000 Click to Connect
I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Anyway, they had brought Emerson a tinkerbell costume to wear. They were going to play at the park with their costumes on. Emerson has never really played dress up and usually fights me to get dressed these days so I wasn't sure how she would feel about the costume, but I decided to give it a try.
I think this picture, showing her first glimpse of herself in the mirror, really says it all:
She danced all over that playground and had the best time with her friends. We ended up staying out there until after dark because she was just so happy.
That was two days ago and I am not exaggerating when I say that she has barely taken that costume off since. It's currently 7:14 am and she's already decked out in the fairy wings.
Looks like I better get on the ball and find her one of her own. At this point I don't know how we are going to give this one back unless we have a replacement. :)

Company one of 92 chosen for environmental award
MISSISSAUGA: Konica Minolta Business Solutions (Canada) Ltd's parent company, Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc, has been awarded the SAM Silver Class for the second consecutive year.
The Sustainable Asset Management Group (SAM), based in Switzerland, is an investment boutique focused on sustainability investing. Every year, SAM invites the world's largest 2,500 companies to participate in a corporate sustainability assessment, and results are analyzed in terms of economic, environmental and social issues with a focus on long-term value. SAM has released its annual Sustainability Yearbook 2011, in which 103 companies were awarded Gold Class, 92 companies—including Konica Minolta Holdings—took home Silver Class, and 77 companies Bronze Class.
"Konica Minolta believes that the SAM Silver Class accolade reflects its group-wide commitment toward social and environmental consideration," says Kevin Kern, senior vice-president, marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Inc.
In addition to the SAM Silver Class, Konica Minolta has been selected in the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World by Canada-based Corporate Knights Inc. and included in Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index by Dow Jones and SAM Group, FTSE4Good Global Index of the UK-based FTSE Group, and the Japan-based Morningstar Socially Responsible Investment Index.

That's pretty much what I used to ask myself.
I knew it played a really important role in the sector, certainly where I've worked, but I didn't have a real sense of the nuts and bolts of how it worked, what funders were looking for, what turns them off etc.
Until yesterday.
You see, last year in the midst of meeting literally hundreds of Canadian charities, it became apparent to me that not only was that in area that was not given adequate attention, but there seemed to be a real lack of support, particularly for small to medium size charities and fundraising teams.
Enter my colleague James Huitson, Pareto Fundraising's Regional Director in South East Asia.
An 'unrepentant Brit' (his words, not mine), James background is the antithesis of mine. Until 12 months ago he has always worked for charities. I've always worked in agencies (although mostly with charities). He's primarily focused his work on seeking institutional funding, me on individuals.
And with ten plus years in this area boasting an incredibly successful record of soliciting statutory and foundation funding (with organizations in the UK such as Mind and Turning Point), I figured it was worth getting him out here to impart his knowledge on my fellow Canadian fundraisers.
Fast forward to yesterday and we ran a session entitled Trusts and Foundations: So what are they looking for and how can I make the most of my programme?
Something that James said to me last year about operating in different markets has stuck with me. "Everything is different but everything is the same". And for me this really rings true when you take an area like foundation funding versus raising money from individuals.
Like individuals, money from foundations doesn't appear magically overnight. It's about quality in applications, not quantity (think acquisition, same logic). And there certainly are some of the similar principles you must apply in terms of thanking, feeding back and relationship building. All fairly intuitive stuff, but incredibly important all the same.
On the flip side, there are some nuances. The biggest one is this: foundations exist to give you money, individuals don't. In some countries there are statutory requirements to ensure that foundations give away a proportion of their money every year (in Canada it's around 3.5% of its assets every 2 years and 80% of its receipted donations from the previous year).
The other big difference is that receiving funding from a grant making foundation won't get you out of a cash flow pickle. Unlike going to someone really rich next week and asking for $200,000, foundation funding is long term, sometimes laborious and I imagine sometimes incredibly frustrating.
Like other sources of funding, raising money from foundations has its role. For some organizations it will play a significant part. For others it won't: either because it doesn't fit well within the type of work you do or the way you work, or because you have made a strategic decision not to spend your time in this area.
I'm just glad I now know what the hell they're all about anyway.
If you want any more info in this area, contact our man on the ground James Huitson. He can be reached at email@example.com
He'll be happy to help.
