NBC kills Wonder Woman
After all the fuss over casting and costumes, NBC has killed the Wonder Woman remake before it ever got to air.
NBC has passed on the Wonder Woman revamp, according to network sources.
Months of intense nerd debate over casting and costumes have come to naught as NBC has decided not to bring the Wonder Woman pilot to series. While an official announcement by the network is still forthcoming -- upfronts start Monday in New York, and that's when season schedule announcements are usually made -- inside sources are adamant.
Adrianne Palicki from Friday Night Lights was set to play Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, and Elizabeth Hurley was on board as villainess Veronica Cale.
The pilot received mixed reviews at screenings and was poorly received by network execs, according to The Hollywood Reporter. No surprise considering the most buzz the show got was about exactly what skin-tight outfit Wonder Woman would wear to fight crime.
Tracie Thoms, who was set to play Wonder Woman's BFF Etta, pretty much confirmed the news on Twitter.
"I am very sad that NBC passed on Wonder Woman. But that just goes to show you: There is no such thing as a 'sure thing' in this biz."
If you were really, really counting on this show, fear not, for all is not lost: Creator David E. Kelley could still pitch it to other networks, including cable channels.

Tamba Park
Set in beautiful scenery, Jersey's newest attraction, Tamba Park, offers a range of attractions for people of all ages. The site was bought in late 2014 with the new owners starting to transform the once derelict park into something spectacular for families far and wide.
Michael Bee, General Manager at Tamba Park said: "The owner set up a charity in 2012 and wanted a sustainable business to support the charity, so we are a non profit business and the idea behind it was that if anything would happen to him, his charity would be able to continue."
The charity, Ruff's Kitchen, was set up by Tamba Park owner Jonathan Ruff in 2012 and was implemented to feed vulnerable children at school in Zimbabwe. The charity currently feeds over 5,000 children everyday.
Run by the Ruff family, the charity has set up seven kitchens in schools across Zimbabwe with each child within those schools receiving a nutritious; porridge based meal packed with vitamins. Due to the positive impact made by Ruff's kitchens, by 2018 the aim is to be feeding over 20,000 children each day, across 30 schools.
Tamba Park is made up of a variety of areas including an outdoor area comprising an African Sculpture Garden, large lake with micro boats and remote control boats, a dinosaur trail with 16 life-size animatronic dinosaurs, children's adventure playground and a café.
The African Sculpture Garden is created from sculptures made from artists in Zimbabwe. The sculptures are bought by Tamba Park as a way of supporting the African economy and are then put on display and sold at the park.
The dinosaur trail contains 16 life-size animatronic dinosaurs which work on a sensor basis, so when families are exploring the trail, the dinosaurs will start roaring and moving.
A café is also contained in the outdoor area where families can enjoy hot food, cakes and beverages before heading off to explore the park even more.
A second phase of work has recently taken place at the park, which has seen an indoor rainforest themed play area open as well as a mini arcade, 120 cover restaurant and a birds of prey centre.
The rainforest play area offers a full sensory explosion of light, sound and scent effects for visitors. Children of all ages can immerse themselves in the play area and will keep children entertained for hours with the mini arcade, slides, tree houses and zip line around the play area.
Michael added: "We opened the indoor area on Monday 29th February 2016 and then had to close the outdoor area for three weeks to make some of the necessary changes that we have planned, but by Easter everything will open and be operational again.
"We purchased phase one of the park in October 2014 and were open by 1st June 2015. With phase two, we started in late October/November 2015 and opened at the end of February 2016."
Work at the park was overseen by park owner Jonathan with different contractors coming on board to finish different aspects of the development.
Michael said: "The biggest challenge on the project initially was how to plan the space correctly. A lot of it is water and there are a lot of banks where you can't really build things, so utilising the space for phase one took a good two or three months for the owner to decide on how to best maximise the space.
"Getting the space to open in the time frame that we had was also a big thing. The building was in place already but it was a complete and utter rip out to the shell and then we used AWG Construction, a UK based company, to build the playgrounds. There were quite tight time constraints as well, but because it was the same company as phase one, they knew how everything worked and the standards expected, so it worked well."
During the summer, Tamba Park is open from 10am until 6pm and during the winter it opens from 10am until dusk. The indoor area is open between Sunday and Thursday from 10am until 7pm and between Friday and Saturday from 10am and 8pm.
Since the park opened and is now offering fun family days out, Michael states that the feedback for the concept and the site has been extremely encouraging.
He said: "It has been fantastic and really positive and has been received really, really well.
"It is a great option for a small place because there aren't really many places for family days out so the concept has been very well received. We have always kept our prices competitive and that is because the philosophy we have is to get people coming in two to three times a month and spending money in the park, rather than charging a high-end price and people only coming once.
"For the pricing concept in the new area, for a family of five people, we charge £120 a year for our annual membership and that is full access to the park and 10% off everything that they buy in the park and people really appreciate that level of pricing."
It is now hoped that Tamba Park will continue to grow with further developments already in the pipeline.
Michael concluded: "There is opportunity for further developments but they are probably further down the line."

In 2018 my home state of Queensland will get container refunds. We will get money for the used bottles and cans we return for recycling.
Right now there's a trial 'Reverse Vending Machine' operating at 400 George Street Brisbane in the food court.
It's called reverse vending because it's the opposite of a normal machine. Instead of paying for an item, you return a used item and it pays you.
Here's video of me giving it a go.
At the moment the payment is replaced by a donation to a charity. So I donated my refunds to Clean Up Australia.
When the program starts in July 2018, the refund can be in the form of discount coupons, vouchers or something you can use.
Hopefully, they allow you to add credit onto your transport card.

"Edelweiss musicians" – all the musicians and singers that practiced for a
few weeks for this year's program
Sterling Heights, MI - "Die staade Zeit" –
Advent. A time of quiet contemplation. At GTEV Edelweiss, the members enjoy
a day together to relax to beautiful Advent music, visit with friends, and
wish each other "Frohe Weihnachten." On December 8 Edelweiss held its
annual Weihnachtsfeier with about 70 people attending at the
Carpathia Hall in Sterling Heights. The beautifully decorated room added to
the festiveness of a day we look forward to all year.
Music director Rick Michels again put together a wonderful program of
traditional song and music for the twelve musicians and five singers. With
so many talented musicians, it's easy to break them into several ensembles
that give variety to the program. In Bavarian folk tradition, the ensembles
are named to reflect their content. "Nah und Fern Musi" consists of clarinet
player Herbert Gruber and tenor horn player Dennis Hoshield. Herb lives in
the area ("Nah" or close) and Dennis lives in Petosky ("Fern" or far
away)—thus their name. The "Porthauser Okarinamusi" consists of Anni Porter
and Andrea Edelhauser playing ocarinas, small egg-shaped wind instruments
that date back to ancient times. We were also treated to our four ladies,
dubbed "Singmädla," who sang together for the first time in beautiful
In between the twelve musical numbers, Marianne Billo, who grew up in
Bavaria, read an amusing poem in dialect that captured the frenzy of the
season. Rick Michels' poem "Was mia Eich wünschen" spoke to the true spirit
of Christmas, putting the peace of Jesus in our lives. The Christmas story
from the Book of Luke was interspersed in German and English remind us of
the reason for Christmas. The last song of the program is always "Stille
Nacht, heilige Nacht," which brings out tears for so many in the room.
After the nearly hour-long program, we enjoyed Carpathia's delicious dinner
buffet. Many members brought desserts, cookies, and sweets to share. The
gift raffle is a favorite annual activity since it's always fun to see what
treasures you'll win. After a couple of hours of visiting with friends and
relatives, the day came to a close and people left wishing one another Merry
Christmas. And to our friends in the German-American community, we also say
"Frohe Weihnachten und ein guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr."
Karin Dean Kraft
Paula and Horst Uebrueck as well as their children and grandchildren are

Being a fundraiser is a wonderful way to establish meaningful relationships with people. Catherine Fox began her career in fundraising in the late 1970s and shares her insight into the field of nonprofit fundraising. Catherine talks about the importance of establishing personal connections with philanthropists as a way to help them understand and support relevant programs. She also talks about ways fundraising is changing and how we might adapt.
Catherine Fox's career in fundraising launched in 1977 when she became Executive Director of Friends of the River. Catherine has gone on to building relationships that have helped to support the Sierra Club, the Trust for Public Land, The Environmental Support Center, Save-the-Redwoods League, the Wilderness Society and Save the Bay. She has served on the boards of numerous foundations and currently is a Member of the Board of Directors for Bay Nature, in Berkeley California. She has degrees from Santa Clara University and San Francisco State University.
Catherine Fox: One of my very first fundraising experiences that was so positive and actually stayed with me for decades was when Friends of the River got its first 1,000 dollar check in the mail. And in 1978, that was huge because nobody was even getting paid salary then, you could just get reimbursed for gas. And it came from a man in Los Gatos. I was the fundraising director, an executive director of the foundation, and I thought, "Well, I don't know how this is." So I picked up the phone and called this man named Jim Compton and said, "This is the biggest check Friends of the River has ever received and we're thrilled, and I really want to understand why you did that, so can I come see you?" And he said, "Sure, come on down." And I remember thinking, "Well, I should probably get out of my t-shirt and jeans and maybe put a dress on because a thousand dollars." So I drove down to Los Gatos in my Fiat and pulled up to the Los Gatos Swim and Tennis Club, I believe it was. Here was this elegant man with a little bow tie on waiting for me. That was Jim Compton and he was going to buy me lunch there. And we were walking up the stairs to the restaurant and I said, "How long have you been a member of the club?" And he said, "Well, ever since I built it." And that was the beginning of this wonderful friendship and professional relationship with Jim Compton and the Compton Foundation.
Catherine Fox: And one of the great joys of being a fundraiser is that you get to establish that kind of personal connection.
Huey Johnson: Yeah.
Catherine Fox: And give people with the means, but perhaps not the time, a way to really fulfill their dreams as well. And my hope is that people coming up behind us as fundraisers find a way to make those connections. In these days, it just gets harder and harder. In my last job, I had a lot of people just email me saying, "We don't need to visit. Your time's too busy, just send me – attach the proposal on email and I'll let you know." So the ability to make those one on one connections is getting harder.
Catherine Fox: I think these generations that are coming up behind us, assume that everyone's an environmentalist, or they don't really think about it at all because how could you not care about the environment? So that proclivity by the Millennials to join an organization isn't there anymore. They form their own communities through their networks, and it's not necessarily networks that rely on the out-of-doors. How do you still keep people aware of that sense of place and that it's still under threat? And it could be that that next generation, the Millennial's and the Gen X'ers can't imagine someone would deliberately harm the environment, and that's going on all the time.
Catherine Fox: The environmental movement now is part of – it's mainstream America. It's no longer so much a fringe element anymore, and you can get degrees in natural resources and in environmental management, and nonprofit administration. And if there is access to higher education by people of all colors, I would like to think that some of those — some of that talent is going to come into the environmental movement in a natural way. But frankly, every organization I've worked at, you look around the office and its mostly white faces. So why would someone who's African American or Asian American want to come and work where they're the only person that looks like them? I think that takes a very courageous person to do that. So, I hope we can see organizations that are forming around issues that affect the health of communities, and that's the next wave of the environmental movement, is keeping the air and the water clean so that families and small children can grow up in healthy environments, and then that may generate an interest in what's the greater world around them and perhaps even give them a sense of what wilderness is. It's not just a calendar on your dentist's office wall, but it's something that really means something to you.
Huey Johnson: Boy, that's important.

If you have been thinking about getting involved in addressing homelessness in your community, our Neighbor-2-Neighbor program is great place to start. Neighbor-2-Neighbor (N2N) is similar to a buddy system and was created to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness as they prepare to secure and maintain housing.
From Rebecca Prine, Director, Recycled Resources for the Homeless:
If you have been thinking about getting involved in addressing homelessness in your community our Neighbor-2-Neighbor program is great place to start. Neighbor-2-Neighbor (N2N) is similar to a buddy system and was created to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness as they prepare to secure and maintain housing. As Recycled Resources has no full time staff it has been difficult for us to meet the needs of our neighbors as they try to access housing opportunities. In order for people to prepare for housing they need to fulfill certain requirements, such as securing a CA ID, SSI Card, and establishing an income. As people prepare to move into housing they need to attend a series of appointments with the Housing Authority. This is often an overwhelming process and people need support; that is where our N2N volunteers come in.
The goal of N2N is to pair a RRH volunteer with one of our neighbors experiencing homelessness. N2N begins with a 6-hour training where volunteers attend a one-day workshop that entails education surrounding homeless issues. The workshop trains volunteers on local homeless statistics and programs, the philosophy of outreach and engagement, crisis intervention and safety, mental illness and substance use. Volunteers are educated about community resources and how to navigate these resources to best assist their buddy. Volunteers can also be paired with another volunteer, working in partnership, to assist an individual experiencing homelessness.
Once the training is completed Recycled Resources will introduce you to your buddy and you will begin building a relationship with them. The volunteer commits to visiting and engaging their buddy a minimum of 2 x weekly, with the goal of developing a trusting relationship. Visits may include sharing a cup of coffee, having lunch, offering clothing and resources, and educating the person about the process of securing documents needed for housing and benefits. The volunteer also provides updates to Recycled Resources about any challenges, needs, and the progress of the relationship as well as works with our Housing Coordinator to assist in securing documents needed to access housing opportunities.
Once your buddy secures housing you transition with them and become a life skills coach to ensure housing can be maintained. This volunteer opportunity comes with great responsibility yet even greater reward. In order for us to assist people in securing and maintaining housing Recycled Resources must rely on the dedication and compassion of those living in our community. Can you be a buddy?
If you are interested in attending the N2N training on Saturday July 25th please email us. RSVP is needed for this class and space is limited so please contact us as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you. Email us here to RSVP, for questions, or additional information.

Last Saturday, after putting up our tents and getting settled in our new 'home' for the week, we took a visit to Monks Cross Shopping Centre as it had the nearest Asda to our campsite. Before getting the important stuff (tea, milk, dinner etc) my step Mom and I had a wonder around Hobbycraft. We managed to find these little cross stitch kits and we also managed to rope Tom and my Dad into having a go at one. I picked up the Bicycle and Sign Post as I have just brought myself a new bike.
Fast forward a couple of days and after wondering around York city centre, seeing the Shambles, the Viking Museum and getting a few beers and ciders in us, we had a go at doing the cross stitch kits. It was hilarious!! Obviously my Dad and Tom hadn't really done this before, they had no idea what they were doing. My Dad hated it, Tom gave it a go and they both ended up going solo and doing their own things (all whilst being totally hilarious).
I loved it! Probably not what you would expect a 26 year old to be doing whilst camping (as my best friend Emma said "26 going on 60" but it was fun!!
I'm currently sat on a camp bed inside the bedroom compartment of our tent in my pyjamas, waiting for the kettle to boil so I can make our first coffees before we have to pack the tent and all our 'home from home' camping items. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE - I'm so sad! Plus it's raining and putting a tent away in the rain is not ideal. I've had the BEST time and cannot wait to go camping in August!!!

Solar panels provide an excellent solution for obtaining the electrical power needed to support on-board electrical systems. They are quiet, require little maintenance and are reliable.
While cruising, we take a very conservative approach to using electricity on board our 38 foot sailboat. Even so, when considering the solar option, I concluded that using solar panels to supply all our electrical needs would be expensive and would require considerable panel surface area. With this in mind, I set out to use solar power to augment the generation of power with the goal that we could be at anchor for three days without running the diesel to charge the batteries.
The 85 watt Kyocera KC85T is rated at 5 amps (17 volts) and measures about 26" by 40". We can generate about 35 amp-hours on a sunny day on the Great Lakes by adjusting the angle 3-4 times a day for optimum efficiency. Our energy usage is roughly 55amp-hrs a day at anchor. Thus we run a deficite of about 20 amp-hours per day.
Here is how we calculated our energy usage per day at anchor.
Equipment Amps Amp-hours/day
Refrigeration 5 20
Instruments 1 4
Computer 4 6
Lighting 2 (avg) 10
Pumps 5 5
Other 1 10
(propane monitor, etc.)
Total amp-hours 55
When under sail we have an additional current draw of 20 amp-hours from our auto-pilot and instruments.
We have a 75 watt alternator on board and a 360 amp-hour battery bank. Because we typically run the engine several hours on the days we are moving, the battery bank gets charged on those days. This system works out well for us.
Each cruising boat has different patterns of energy usage and different requirements. Calculate your usage, consider your sources of power generation and select the size of the solar array you will need. Based on this, you can determine whether a single panel or multiple panels will be required to meet your needs.
Contact us if you would like assistance in determining the size of panel that will be required to meet your needs.

Devo Plastic "Energy Dome" Hats at 2010 Olympics
On February 22nd, 2010 , the 1980's Music Group "Devo" performed before enthusiastic fans at Whistler Park in Vancouver, Canada. Devo was best known in the 80's for playing "new wave" music, including the hit "Whip It". They were also well known for their stage costumes which included bright yellow suits and red "Energy Dome" plastic hats.
As part of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver Canada, Devo played a concert and performed many of their songs. In the spirit of the Olympic games, the musical group updated their stage costumes to include silver suits and "Olympic blue" Energy Dome plastic hats.
In late January, Spencer Industries Inc. in Dale, Indiana was contracted to tool up and manufacture 3,500 of the blue plastic Energy Dome hats within a 12 day time frame. The custom blue plastic Energy Domes were manufactured and shipped to Vancouver to support the special 2010 Olympic event.
Our employees here at Spencer Industries had fun forming the Plastic Energy Domes!
I think we all got the "Devo Fever" !
That is what keeps our jobs interesting here at Spencer. We are a Custom Thermoformer, and this makes us unique! Draw it up.... Send it in.... Work with our Engineers.... , and we will provide you with a very nice product! Please keep in mind that we like to run large volume jobs.
We do not sell the individual hats. They may be purchased on the Devo Website.
Plastic Product Made in the USA
We can proudly say this product was made in the USA! The blue plastic sheet was extruded here in Dale, Indiana. This Plastic Sheet was then thermoformed using a tool that was fabricated by one of our vendors here in the United States. We assembled the foam inserts inside the plastic hats, and packaged them for shippment. (And it looks like they had fun doing it!)
We manufactured this item from start to finish in the same building! This is one of our unique offerings as a Thermoforming Manufacturer. There are very few Thermoformers that can Extrude, Form, and Assemble in the same facility! This allows us to meet short leadtime demands, and order quantity changes such this one for the Olympics. This unique ability also greatly reduces the leadtime and cost to produce plastic products.

The Plastic Energy Dome hats are known to be Red, but this year the color changed. The color was switched to Blue along with the release of their new Song "FRESH". To learn more about Devo please visit the below links...

We start off with an interesting press conference held by actor Robert De Niro and Kennedy Jr just this morning where they announced their World Mercury Project $100,000 challenge and their open letter to the public where they explain everything in details. The open letter can be found below.
Well, this will be an easy task since there is a plethora of scientific studies which point to the damaging effects of mercury to our health. Moreover, there's a testimony in Congress which clearly states that thimerosal, the mercury-laden preservative used in vaccines has never been tested if it's safe or not, but it has been used for decades in vaccines based on the CDC reassurance that it's completely safe.
In addition to this toxic substance never being tested, the CDC also evaded the completion of an autism study which compared results from vaccinated and non-vaccinated children. If this wasn't suspicious enough, what more can we say.
I believe it was about time for something like this to happen. Maybe this reward will encourage people to do something and prove what we've all known for years, that mercury shouldn't find its place in the human body and brain. Too many children have been suffering on account of this neurotoxin and it's about time to put an end to it.
Here's the open letter to the public by De Niro and Kennedy Jr.:
On the occasion of our announcement of the World Mercury Project's $100K challenge, we want to address America's reporters, journalists, columnists, editors, network anchors, on-air doctors and news division producers.
We especially want to reach out to those of you who have made a point of assuring the public about the safety of the mercury-based preservative, thimerosal. It's our hope that this challenge will elevate this important debate beyond name calling and prompt a genuine examination of the relevant science. The American public is entitled to an honest, probing and vigorous discussion about this critical public health issue—a debate based on facts, not rooted in fear, or on blind faith in regulators and the pharmaceutical industry.
We are both pro-vaccine. We need to say this at the outset to contravene the reflexive public relations ploy of labeling every vaccine safety advocate "anti-vaccine." As the British Medical Journal pointed out last week, that epithet is a derogatory attack designed to marginalize vaccine safety advocates and derail reasoned debate:
"It stigmatizes the mere act of even asking an open question about what is known and unknown about the safety of vaccines."
Both of us had all of our children vaccinated and we support policies that promote vaccine coverage. We want vaccines that are as safe as possible, robust transparent science and vigorous oversight by independent regulators who are free from corrupting conflicts-of-interest.
Despite the cascade of recent science confirming that thimerosal is a potent neurotoxin that damages children's brains, the American media has fiercely defended the orthodoxy that mercury-based vaccines are safe. We believe that even a meager effort at homework will expose that contention as unsupported by science. In just the past month, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) review confirmed thimerosal's profound neurotoxicity and a Yale University study connected vaccines to neurological illnesses including OCD, anorexia and tics.

Did You Know?
Desuetude must be closely related to "disuse," right? Wrong. Despite the similarities between them, "desuetude" and "disuse" derive from two different Latin verbs. Desuetude comes from "suescere," a word that means "to accustom" (it also gave us the word custom). "Disuse" descends from "uti," which means "to use" (that Latin word also gave us "use" and "utility"). Of the two, "disuse" is now the more common. "Desuetude" hasn't fallen into desuetude yet, and it was put to good use in the past, as in the 17th-century writings of Scottish Quaker Robert Barclay, who wrote, "The weighty Truths of God were neglected, and, as it were, went into Desuetude."

When I looked at my copy of the Coalville Times today I was very interested to read the front page article entitled 'Politicians call for review of car parking charges'.
Times really do change don't they?
In case you missed it Mr Pickles, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government scrapped some parking restrictions introduced by the Labour Government in 2001 principally concerning the limiting of parking spaces to new residential developments to promote other environmentally sustainable travel options.
Somehow, however, Councillor Michael Wyatt (Lib Dem Councillor for Greenhill) has managed to turn the story around in calling for a revision of Council Car Parking Charges.
In a comment to the Coalville Times, Councillor Wyatt says 'Coalville needs a real boost. Some businesses are hanging on by their finger nails, and it's time the district council gave them a helping hand by bringing in more shoppers, and by having a one hour free parking fee, I believe it will encourage new businesses into our town.'
Now lets go back in time to 2004, when the then Labour controlled council introduced parking charges.
At the time the reason given for introducing charges was to deliver a balanced budget and prevent excessive rises in Council Tax (nothing to do with government parking restrictions).
In short the Labour group appreciated that as the car parks cost money to operate it would be best served to charge users directly for parking as opposed to putting up council tax more than was absolutely necessary.
(It should be noted that charging had been resisted by Labour for a number of years but due to particularly difficult contstraints that year it was felt unavoidable.)
The proposals put forward was to charge for parking only at car parks in Coalville and Ashby.
Interestingly the then Tory and Lib-Dem opposition, including Councillor Wyatt, felt that the plans didn't go far enough and put forward an amendment to charge at every car park in the district.
The record, I'm afraid, shows that Councillor Wyatt and his colleagues felt the planned charges were not enough. The truth is that he didn't argue against introducing parking fees but rather sought to extend them!
Now, there is no doubt that parking charges have had an effect on Coalville. However, the fact remains that they were introduced for bona fide financial reasons with levels of support from all parties.
I am sure all of the political groups would ideally like to get rid of parking charges but the question, given the wider economic climate, is 'is it realistic'?
All I would say is let us not try to rewrite history Councillor Wyatt. I appreciate the economic situation might be difficult for you as a local trader but remember you felt the charges didn't go far enough!

Der Liebling. What can I say other than that he moves me to tears. I don't care what anybody says or writes about him, his private life. As a film director he's a genius.
Elaine Kaufman (of Elaine's Restaurant) in an interview with Campbell Robertson published in The New York Times today 7/23, 2005): "It's not that anyone is lying; they all think they remember something. But these are creative types, artists, writers, intellectuals (she continued); everyone loves a good anecdote, and not all anecdotes are double-checked for accuracy.
"These guys are very funny," she said, referring to the crowd that frequented her restaurant in the 60's. "Writers when they're not writing."
Words pulled out of context, everyone's personal interpretation, all those different truths…
In Lou Reed's words: "Just a New York conversation, gossip all of the time. 'Did you hear who did what to whom ?', happens all the time."
In the end, what remains is Art.

Summary: Dick actually attends a class for once, and Mac just can't stop mocking him. Oneshot.
Disclaimer: I definitely do not own these characters. I wish I did, though.
A/N: I asked my livejournal f-list for fic prompts and Rachel gave me "Dick/Mac: Classroom." It intrigued me. This is what came out of that. Drop me a line and let me know what you think.
He tapped his fingers on his desk absently, glancing around the room curiously. There were a lot of windows on one side of it, and the wall opposite the glass was all boring. He pursed his mouth absently and tilted his head back, rolling his eyes.
This was totally the most boring thing in his entire life. The chick next to him looked like a little kid at Christmas and Dick was totally confused by that. He wasn't hung-over, for once, but he still didn't want to be here.
And, like, since when did he show up for anything early anyway? Total lack of judgment on his part, because there was totally a reason he did not go to class. Like ever. It was lame and he was all anti-lameness because it made him feel lamer than any usual level of lame.
He lifted his head and sighed heavily, focusing intently on the scratches that were present on his desk. A throat cleared in front of him and he raised his eyes wearily, not really in the mood to make new friends.
Just because Logan was always off with his skank of a girlfriend didn't mean Dick needed to go getting replacement buddies. Psshh. Stupid Ronnie and her stupid little head tilt. Sometimes he felt like he was the only one that didn't do what she said when she cocked her head to the side all innocently.
'Cause dude, if the things he heard at night when he crashed on Logan's couch were any indication, Veronica Mars was far from innocent.
"Actually attending class now, Dick?"
A grin spread across his face and he leaned back in his chair, bending his elbows to rest his head back against his hands. "Ghost World! Lookin' all studious and shit," he eyed her ensemble, taking in the laptop case that was hanging from her shoulder and the pencils that were poking up out of the front flap.
"Well, my mother didn't marry me into Hearst," she replied, fake smile firmly in place. "I actually have to do the work to keep my scholarship."
"Dude, you're here on scholarship? What for? Sponsored Geeks United?"
Mac's smile relaxed slightly and she shook her head, dropping down into the empty seat on the other side of him. Christmas-girl looked a little put-off by his casual demeanor, but Mac was just as calm as always. He liked that about her. She was mellow. All go-with-the-flow and cool like that. Yay for relaxed chicks, dude.
"Turns out being good with computers is actually good for something," she told him. "Who would've thought that being able to hack into a high-security database would be a way to get into college?"
He blinked. "Dude, you're kinda scary, you know that?"
"Yes, I believe you've told me that before. Then again, you think Veronica is scary. So I'm not quite sure I trust your judgment," she smiled cheekily and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, unzipping her bag to pull her computer out of it. Dick furrowed his brow slightly, gaping.
"She's fuckin' scary when she gets on her cases! I don't know how Logan puts up with her," he shook his head, then reconsidered his statement. "Like, the putting out thing totally makes sense since she's a hot little piece of ass."
Mac snorted and he smiled, reaching over the gap between their seats to tug on a strand of her hair. "It's orange!" he proclaimed. Kind of like a pumpkin. Which was totally awesome because that purple crap she had a week ago was totally lame. And Dick was totally against all things lame. They were stupid.
"I see your observational skills are improving. Though if you could apply them to your X-Box then you might stop dying every five minutes…"
"That was not my fault! You were being all distracting with your weird science talk and I couldn't concentrate. Words more than two syllables long should not be allowed in the gaming room!" He huffed and stuck out his bottom lip convincingly. Pouting always worked with her. Always. She got all mushy. It was sort of adorable, but the point of the pouting was to make himself look adorable so it totally wasn't fair that she turned it around on him like that.
Looking up at him oddly, she arched an eyebrow slowly. "What gaming room? Dick, you camp out on Logan's floor for days at a time so that you can play video games without leaving to buy your own beer."
"So? My apartment is boring. And it's not like anyone ever uses his living room anyway. The couch is totally open territory!" He fixed her with a glare, forgetting all about his pouting technique, and she laughed a little. He smiled.
"I would think you'd be concerned about the couch being open territory at Logan's," she smiled and his faltered a little. Huh?
There was a pause in the conversation and she stared at him expectantly, like she was waiting for him to get the joke or something. Dick's jaw dropped open a little further and then he grimaced. Ohhhhh. He so did not need images of Ronnie all sweaty and naked under his best friend on the couch. The couch that he slept on! Dude!
"Aw, dude, I'm never sitting on that couch again," he moaned in complaint, closing his eyes tightly and tilting his head back. She snickered and he opened his eyes slowly, glaring at her again. "I hate you."
"No you don't," she said softly, smiling brilliantly. He stared at her for a second, kinda transfixed, and then shook his head. Like she really knew what he was thinking. Psshh. What, like being all geeky over computers made her some sort of psychic card-reader thing? Yeah, right.
Before he could respond there was an old dude entering the room, and then class was like starting or something. Dick huffed and sank down in his seat. Mac turned bright eyes to the old dude and his eye twitched a little.
There was totally no point in being there if she wasn't even going to pay attention to him.
He grunted and swatted at the air around him. His hand hit something solid and he grunted again, feeling around to see what it was. It was like … warm. And soft. And kind of felt like a pair of jeans. Opening his eyes, he raised his head and blearily looked around at his surroundings.
"Dick," she repeated. The jeans moved away from his hand and he frowned, turning his head to the side. Oh. Dude, he was asleep on a desk. Oh! Dude, he was like totally asleep in class. Hahaha. He hadn't done that in like two years.
"The one and only," she sighed and shook her head at him, folding her arms across her chest as he stared up at her through tired eyes. After a second he shook his head to clear it and sat up all the way, noticing that she was standing a few feet away from him. Uhm … okaaaaaay…
"What's wrong?"
"You're a sleep-groper," she said, matter-of-fact. "I'd prefer to keep my thighs away from your wandering hands, thank you." So that was the jean thing he was touching a few minutes ago. He smiled slowly.
"Dude, if you're offering…"
"I'm not," she shook her head, but she was totally smiling. Uh-huh. Sure she wasn't.
"Whatever," he shrugged and stood up, yawning and stretching his arms above his head. Desks made the most uncomfortable pillows in the world. He had yet to find something less comfortable to fall asleep on, and if he ever found it he was going to stay far, far away from it. Because lame.
Mac sighed and turned, pulling her hair back from her face as she left the room. He stared after her for a second, blinking. Then he ran to catch up with her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, ignoring the pony-tail thing she had her hair in now.
"So, you up for a little one-on-one?" Her eyes widened slightly and she sputtered a little. Dude, so cute. And she probably didn't even know that she was like all adorable and shit. Chicks were so stupid sometimes. "Video games, dude. Logan's? You, me, X-Box and some ice cream?"
"I don't—"
"Soy dream, what-ev-er," he rolled his eyes. "Come on."
She eyed him warily, but he could tell she was somewhat pleased that he remembered her freaky vegan habits. Embrace the meat love, dude. That was all he had to say about that but she never listened to him when he talked about her weird vegetable romance so he just kept quiet. No need to piss off the girl.
"Fine, but no crying to Veronica when I beat you," she grinned. He let out a whoop and tightened his grip on her shoulders, half-hugging her. Ish.
"And dude, don't lie. I have never cried over a video game."
Patting his arm mockingly, she nodded. "Sure you haven't."
"Dude I haven't! And like why would I whine to Ronnie, anyway? She's all—" he affected a high-pitched, irritated voice "—DICK, GO HOME! all the damn time. Still don't know how the fuck Logan puts up with her."
Mac rolled her eyes. "Sure, Dick."
He glared. Again with the mocking. Like he didn't get enough of that already. Psshh. She was so going down for that later. Dick didn't lose games to girls. Ever. Mmmmmk?

Sweet potato and butternut squash soup
Prep time: 40 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Serves 6
Kacy Curran of Granite Bay was looking for La Bou's butternut squash soup recipe with ginger, not their most recent version which uses curry.
This recipe comes from George Judd of Sacramento whose wife, Judy, makes this vegetarian soup often. You can add more ginger to your taste.
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 pound butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium-size potato, peeled and diced
6 cups vegetable stock (or water, or chicken stock)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Heat the oil in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and stir together until fragrant about 1 minute. Add the squash, sweet potatoes, regular potato and stock or water and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste. Reduce the heat and simmer 45 minutes or until all of the ingredients are thoroughly tender.
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup (or you can put it through the fine blade of a food mill or use a regular blender, working in batches, and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing). Return to the pot and stir with a whisk to even out the texture. Heat through, adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Advance preparation: You can make this a day ahead and refrigerate. Reheat gently. The soup freezes well. Once thawed, whisk well to smooth out the texture and reheat.

Ready to witness some really cool gadgets in the coming months?
Get ready to witness some really cool and much-awaited gadgets in the coming months, writes Rajiv Makhni.brunch Updated: Sep 03, 2016 19:26 IST
Brace yourself! The air is charged and the line-up, even more so. August to December is when the tech world loses all control as rumours and carefully curated leaks, by the companies themselves, come in at the speed of light.
MacBook Pro
The biggest rumours are from Apple as they release most of their biggies around this time. Expect an all-new line-up of MacBook Pros, with a brand new form factor, OLED screens, a fingerprint scanner, a bigger touchpad (that can use the Apple pencil as a drawing board), new 3D touch mouse controls, a touchscreen strip (in place of function buttons) that can do much more including notifications and the absence of the headphone jack (hope not, as that would be a disaster).
Microsoft Hololens
Pokémon Go may have done more for Microsoft than for Nintendo, as it got people to understand Augmented Reality. The Hololens is the first 'no wires' holographic system that is completely self-contained. It mixes the reality around you and blends it with 3D holographics, so you can interact with both digital content and the world around you. Rumour is that the Hololens may be ready this year for commercial release. If it happens, it must be making Oculus very nervous.
iPhone 7
Well, this one is critical as sales of their mainstay have dropped dramatically. The iPhone 7 is rumoured to have a brand new form factor, is much thinner, has better screen resolution (thank god), no 3.5mm headphone jack, a second speaker (making it true stereo), slight bump-up in battery, dual camera at the back, wireless charging with the charger in the box (please, please), completely waterproof (I hope so) and a physical home button replaced by ultrasonic imaging embedded into the display (big mistake, if true).
Google Nexus Watch
Two of them coming and they look absolutely stunning. Codenamed Angelfish and Swordfish, they have a four-day battery life, OLED screen, full fitness tracking, GPS, heart rate monitor, LTE Slot within, four sensors for body functions, Google Assistant integration with extreme intelligence, and a dial with multiple controls. If they actually have even 70 per cent of this, it will blow anything else out of the water.
Yes, we all hope it'll happen as the rumours are getting stronger. Codenamed 'Titan,' there are apparently hundreds of people in that division. Though people think the iCar will be out this year, it won't. If it ever does, then Apple will probably just come up with technology for other automakers and not become a Tesla competitor themselves. Unless Apple buys out Tesla. That would be so much fun!
Sony 4K PlayStation 4.5
The next big gaming console may not be the PS5 but the one in-between. The PS 4.5 is an all-out ultra HD system that can play full 4K videos as well as 4K games, and that is a dramatic jump in gaming power, if true. The 4.5 will also be able to handle Virtual Reality games, be compatible with PlayStation's VR headset and manage a very high resolution. If they release this in the next few months, it will blow the next-gen Microsoft console to bits.
Nintendo NX
If it hadn't been for Pokémon Go, I'm not sure many people would have been interested in what Nintendo does next. Well, now they are. The NX is supposed to be a radical departure in consoles, where the controller has an inbuilt screen. You can play it even if you're not next to the console, as the games are streamed to you. Your smartphones can also be brought in as part of the gaming system and apparently, the game play is at an all new level of VR interactivity. I hope they pull it off as Nintendo usually follows a success with a huge dud!
Apple Watch 2
To be out this year, it'll be more expensive, thinner with single glass construction, different looking with a three-day battery life and its own LTE slot. I'm going to dismiss most of these. It maybe thinner, but it will look the same, and might draw a bit more battery life. Most of the changes will continue to come with software functionality. The Apple Watch is not in a very exciting space right now.
FitBit Charge 2 and Surge 2
Most people seem to think that the slow moving and almost dead smartwatch market has only Apple selling a few pieces. Here's a wake-up call. The broader fitness wearable market is dominated completely by Fitbit, with shipments close to three times that of Apple. The new Alta and Blaze devices have been huge hits and now, rumours of two new devices are taking shape. The Charge 2 may have a brand new form factor and all new sensors with a two week battery life, and the Surge 2 may well be a full runners watch cum a fully-featured Smartwatch. Rumours are also strong that an Apple bid for Fitbit was rejected recently. Never a dull moment in the world of tech!
That's a small synopsis of the exciting times ahead. As always, watch this space in the next few months.

Malaise Traps
By Helen Jukes, Dark Mountain Project
Some days I can't tell if honeybees are coming or going. In a sense, they're everywhere – collecting on our shelves, decorating our homes. And yet, elsewhere, out there, where the real bees live, we're told there are losses and declines and last month I heard a new word, insectageddon.

New stretch target
[UPDATE ON BELOW! Thanks to some generous backers, we've already hit our stretch target of £1700, and so we're setting a new one: £1900! With that budget, we'd be able to polish the film even further and get it into even more festivals - we're aiming for Cannes!]
Yes! We've hit our initial target of £1500 and still have one day of our campaign to go! A massive thanks to everyone who's backed our short film OVERWRITE so far.
So, new STRETCH TARGET announced: £1700! With that extra £200, we can:
- Get some crucial props for our bank set, items that will really sell the building's authenticity.
- Enter OVERWRITE into film festivals the world over.
Spread the word! Just one day to go!
Ever wanted to rob a bank? No? Ever worried you might... do it anyway?
OVERWRITE centres on a security guard who is having a very bad night. Someone is robbing his bank. Someone who looks exactly like him.
A horror-heist thriller, packed full of paranoia and terrifying impossibilities, OVERWRITE is a short film that documents the all-too-rapid disintegration of that guard's reality along with his desperate attempts to claw back control.
We have the key elements in place for the OVERWRITE shoot in mid-March: a nerve-racking script, an amazing location, a brilliant cast and crew. However, to fully bring this project to life, we're also going to need your help.
Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to join the OVERWRITE team on the journey to make this film. And please, share our posts there and help others join us as well!
First of all, like us, you get to be a part of making this film - for that, we cannot thank you enough. Plus we are offering a whole host of rewards for our campaign backers. That includes access to our production material, exclusive previews of the film, screening party invites, producer credits, even personalised songs created by the cast and crew just for you...
Want our writer to craft the TAGLINE TO THE MOVIE OF YOUR LIFE? See the Level 2 reward: A Slight Feeling Of Unease!
Want our writer to invent a SHORT STORY STARRING YOU? See the Level 9 reward: False Memories!
Want to PARTY with us at Ziferblat's swanky new digs in MediaCityUK? See the Level 6 reward: Abject Terror!
(Discover what Ziferblat do at ziferblat.co.uk and read about their amazing new venue here. )
Keen to know more about all the brilliant rewards we're offering? Just check out the right-hand side of this page (or click the SUPPORT button if you're browsing on mobile!)
In the decade we've been making films together, practically every member of the TortoiseButler crew has broken into the film and television industry, spending their days working in the camera, lighting, FX and script development departments of renowned companies and high-budget productions.
In that time, we've been pursuing ever more ambitious projects on our weekends, tales of time agents, androids, lonely terraformers, sentient (and insane) steam engines, bickering demon-hunters—all amazing stories that had to be compressed down into whatever time we could collectively spare. (You can find all these and more on our YouTube and Vimeo channels.)
When our writer Pascoe Foxell dropped the OVERWRITE script in our laps, we knew that we wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we didn't realise the cruel and sinister world he had created.
Our director lifted her 3 year ban against interacting with Pascoe (and is dealing with the resulting nosebleeds like a champ), our FX artist is adding to her already glorious sleep deficit to give us Hollywood-level effects, and the best actor for the role has been aggressively lovebombed until he agreed to star.
It's too late for us. It can be too late for you as well.
Just to give you a proper idea of the talent and experience our team will be bringing to OVERWRITE, here is a rundown of some of our credits:
- Cat Harris, FX Artist - designer of special effects for films such as 'A Monster Calls' and 'Guardians Of The Galaxy'.
- Alia Sheikh, Director - directs cutting-edge projects for the BBC's R&D Department.
- Pascoe Foxell, Writer/Producer - According to Hollywood screenwriters John August, Craig Mazin and Kelly Marcel, Pascoe is an entirely imaginary being. He provides script coverage for Kudos Film & TV, Carnival Films, Euston Films, Sky Drama and NBC Universal.
- Andy Vine, Director of Photography - experimental film projects for the BBC, Imperial College, EMF.
- Dave Bewick, Alex Mannion-Jones, Pedro Labanca, Camera Team - adverts, promos and music videos for the World Health Organisation, NHK Japan, University of Salford, and leading Manchester arts hubs HOME MCR & The Lowry.
- Nick Wolstencroft & Emma Bayliss, Set Designers - create props and sets for ITV, Sky and BBC productions.
We also have the brilliant Edward Linard (soon to be seen in in the History Channel's Vikings) on board to play the lead.
Edward Linard in previous TortoiseButler film 'CROSSES'
The minimum goal for this campaign is £1500, a budget that covers the very basic requirements of our mid-March film shoot. Without these elements in place, OVERWRITE can't be made.
Here is a breakdown of how that money will be used, in glorious pie chart form:
In a world where movies are increasingly made to a formula, OVERWRITE represents a way to take back control.
(Wait. WAIT. Read that sentence again. But in MOVIE TRAILER VOICE - "IN A WORLD...")
Seriously though, if you like the story, if you want to see it made, then any support or involvement you can offer is truly appreciated.
By making a pledge
Whether you're able to pledge £5 or £500 to this campaign, you'll be a significant part of making OVERWRITE a reality.
By spreading the word
By linking to this project on social media, by telling your friends about it, by encouraging them to spread it even further, we can get people all over the world to hear about the OVERWRITE campaign and back it. At minimum we need to pour regular doses of coffee down the actor and main camera crew. With enough funds we can caffeinate the rest of the production team as well!
Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to join the OVERWRITE team on the journey to make this film. And please, share our posts there and help others join us as well! We don't want to be alone in this.
If you're talking about the film or linking back to this campaign page, you can use the hashtag #everwantedtorobabank.
In addition, if you know anyone who works in the media or runs a film blog or anything like that, you can let them know about our film! We're always happy to chat about OVERWRITE, as well as to give general advice about indie filmmaking.
That's about it for now - please spread the word about the campaign on Twitter and Facebook as far and wide as you possibly can and, if you have helped us in any of above ways, do take a moment to ponder your generosity. Perhaps treat yourself to a small biscuit. You deserve it!
From all the OVERWRITE team, thank you!

Estoril continues with more than poor results at the moment, now having eleven matches without a victory in all competitions, as the side comes from a draw finally, away from home taking a point in a goalless game against Maritimo last weekend. This was their first draw after ten defeats, so it can be regarded as a positive outcome for a side that lost nine matches in a run.
Not only that, they looked better than the opponents, having a bit more of the ball possession and being generally pretty decent with the ball to their feet and chances created, but the goal never came. The side remained at the rock bottom position now, having three points less than safely placed Setubal and with plenty of chances to reach safe zone till the end – but some kind of reaction will be needed in case the side continues with a winless streak.
Home team will be playing in a version of 4-2-3-1 formation with Kleber as central striker, plus Aguilar, Claro and Andrade as offensive midfielders. Defender Thiago Cardoso is doubtful, but anyway without performing so far in the season due knee injury. Central defenders Goncalo Brandao (4/0), Lucao (5/0), left back Abner (4/0) and right back Mano (8/0) should all be sidelined with injuries.
Portimonense, on the other side, comes from a very solid performance in front of own crowd, winning the match against Tondela with a 2:0 result last Saturday afternoon. The team is one of positive surprises in Primeira this season, not only because of their recent undefeated run, but also due the fact that they have shown very stable performances against best sides in the country as well.
Tondela didn't have much chances to stay undefeated there, as Nakajima opened up the scoreline in 31st minute but the hosts remained being better even after the lead and sealed the victory with a second goal frmo Nakajima in 76th minute in a bit more open second halftime as both teams had decent chances. They are undefeated now in last five matches, climbing up to tenth position at the table and being more than solid seven points above the relegation zone.
Visitors will be playing in 4-3-3 formation with Dener, Nakajima and Fabricio as their most offensive players. Defensive midfielder Pedro Sa (11/1) is suspended for this one, while right back Ricardo Pessoa (8/0) remains injured. Macedo is back after serving suspension.
— Portimonense have scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches.
Portimonense is slight favorite for me in this one, but the first betting choice will be goals for me. Visitors are in a nice form and playing open football no matter if it's home or away, while Estoril comes from improved performance in previous round and will surely be trying to get all three points here. It's something that promises open minded game with decent odds.
Bet: Over 2.5 goals
