Two nights ago I did audience work on a show that kept us there for ten hours with no food, one bathroom break, wrapped as at 5:30am and froze us out on the roof of a high rise as we watched items and people get conveyor belted off the top of the building for answering questions incorrectly. Sure, sure, the latter part is pretty rad, but the former was enough to make me wonder what profession I'm getting myself into with this filmmaking business.Not really though...I knew that would be the case from day one. The day before the buidling work, I played a carnie on a television show and judging by the looks of things, I am unsure as to why I was chosen for that background part and I'm beginning to wonder about my look.
I talked to a young woman the other day that told me all about her job as a nurse practitioner with her normal hours and her close commute and her thriving social life, and I thought, "Hmm, I wish I wanted to normalcy in my career. What's wrong with me?" How can something seem so appealing and yet at the same time so wrong for you?
Anyway, it's vacay season, and in about one week I will be visiting my family and eating texmex, and swimming in a pool that was never there when I was growing up but whatevs, and yada yada yada.
Also, my boyfriend is getting in tonight for another short visit, and I decided to take time off from cheering for people on high rises so I could cheer for him on the ground. Well, not really cheer, but yeah, enjoy his company with both feet firmly planted, AND I bet we'll get meal breaks, too. How's that for luxury?
Bye, bye, bye,
PS) As I reflect, I realize that one time my boyfriend grabbed me by the ankles and swung me around a living room much to his roommate's amusement. Perhaps the relationship was just training for the jobs I do now, or for my burgeoning potential as a carnie.

Henderson, NV (PRWEB) February 09, 2013
Extreme Mattress Outlet, a wholesale mattress distributor based out of St. George, Utah, opened their first location in sunny St. George in January 2012. They now have three locations with two mattress stores in Las Vegas and growing.
Their most recent store opened in Henderson, Nevada in December 2012.
With the addition of this new location, Extreme Mattress Outlet offers the Henderson area brand-name mattresses that are primarily overstocks, end of year models, discontinued models, mattresses that have had their protective bag rip open during transport to a retail mattress store, and mattresses with smudges.
These are well-known brand name mattresses that have never been slept on, such as Stearns & Foster, Simmons, Serta, and Sealy.
Because of the way that Extreme Mattress Outlet purchases these mattresses, they are able to sell them at prices ranging from 50% to 75% less than a regular retail mattress store.
Anyone in Henderson, Nevada searching for a new, affordable mattress should head on over to Extreme Mattress Outlet's newest location.

After three years, I am excited to be participating in the January blogathon challenge hosted by Maya. First of all, wish you all a happy new year.. May the coming year be filled with love, happiness, and peace.
I've had a rather interesting weekend. Can you guess where I am right now!! Well even I won't have been able to guess this a week ago.. I am in a ski resort a few hours north of Toronto, I took some beginner ski lessons today and tried to ski for about three hours.. Now I'm not a winter person at all and have never tried any winter sports.. So how exactly did I end up here eh? By the way, eh is the Canadian version of huh, I think.
Anyway, going back to the story, it was my birthday on Friday, a milestone birthday, the one where I turned 30. I need to write a post about it but that will happen later.. So I had been planning this birthday for 2 years, not making concrete plans, but just that I wanted to do something special.. After many conversations about a sisters trip to europe or asia, it so turned out that I couldn't leave canada or rather that I didn't have time to get visas for a new country.. So we looked for options where I wouldn't need a visa.. In the end, because of crazy work schedules and dealing with other adult life stuff, we decided to travel to Cuba for a week- me, S1, and BIL1.. While it wasn't the ideal way I wanted to celebrate my 30th, I accepted it and was quite excited about the trip..
On Christmas eve, I went to the airport since I was flying out on Christmas morning.. At the airport, I found out that there was a recent change in visa rules and I couldn't travel to Cuba without a tourist visa.. Yes, I was at the airport, all packed and ready to check-in when I found this out. I was so exhausted that I didn't feel anything. I was numb. Once I was sure that nothing could be done, all I wanted was to go home and sleep. It hit me the next day that I was going to be alone in Toronto. It took the christmas long weekend, many tears, a good book, crappy food, and some good conversations with friends for me to get out of this funk.. The one thing that I didn't want for my 30th birthday was to be alone and that's what ended up happening.. I have become cynical about life.. When this happened, I wasn't even angry, just sad.. I've gotten so used to things not working out that I'm usually not angry about them.. Anyway, I also spent these three days looking for options to travel somewhere because I didn't want to waste my vacation days.. After a lot of searching and thinking, I found out about a meetup trip to a ski resort. This was uncharted territory for me, I've never traveled with a meetup group and don't really care for winter sports.. So I decided to signup for this trip with no expectations, loading enough books on my kindle to keep me occupied if I didn't enjoy the company or activities.. The only thing I knew was that I didnt want to be totally alone for my birthday and the new year's weekend. And it turns out that I've had a good weekend!!
We arrived here on Friday night and will be leaving on Monday morning. There have been about 30 people at the chalet, and we've spent the last two nights talking and drinking and dancing.. I met many new people and hopefully made a couple of friends.. On new year's eve, I even taught people how to dance to bollywood music!!
For me, this week has been about working very hard to accept things that made me deeply unhappy, to be flexible and adapt to life's unpredictable situations, and to do what I want to do in spite of my fears.. So, on that note, I'll see you tomorrow! How was your new year weekend?

ICAC drops probe over Palace Museum: lawmaker
Lawmaker Claudia Mo said on Thursday that the ICAC had informed her that it is no longer following up on her complaint about Carrie Lam's role in a deal with mainland officials to build a local version of Beijing's Palace Museum at the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD).
Mo has accused the Chief Executive-elect of misconduct for approving the plan without consulting the public, and also for hiring architect Rocco Yim without conducting a proper tendering exercise.
Mo said she was disappointed that the ICAC is not pursuing the matter further.
"We still need to clarify certain issues, like why the secret deal was announced out of the blue, and why Carrie Lam herself would actually boast of her managing to cover up the issue watertight," said Mo.
"But then I really don't know how else we can pursue, except… I know of a judicial review application is still in process… which is running into hurdles, I heard. But let's see what happens on that front," she said.
Meanwhile, Civic Party lawmaker Tanya Chan urged the government and the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority to disclose whether the deal to build the Palace Museum has been finalised.
The memorandum of understanding Lam signed with Beijing in December was supposed to expire this week.
Chan, who sits on a Legco subcommittee monitoring the arts hub project, said she wants an update on the museum.
"I've no idea why there is no news about whether they have signed any agreement. I think that they have some discussion with the Palace Museum in Beijing, but we have no idea," Chan said.
"And, whether the [WKCD] board have discussed about whether they should sign this contract or not, we have no idea."
"What is the design? Rocco Yim and his partners have a little bit more than six months to consolidate the design. But we have no idea, and the public have no idea. So I think that this kind of situation is very unsatisfactory."

Hello Family!
This week has been a whirlwind! We arrived on Tuesday at about 3pm in the Tampa Airport. The view from the plane was gorgeous, the ocean is so blue!!! President Cusick and his two assistants picked us up and took us straight to the mission home (not home, it is a mansion). It is such a pretty house! We learned all the driving procedures (I'm terrified to drive now) and went over other info. Then we ate tacos and dessert. A HUGE lightening storm started spontaneously outside right before we were going to leave for the hotel, and as me and my group ran the ten seconds from the house (I mean mansion) to the car, we got SOAKED. We were literally only outside for ten seconds and it was like I took a shower. IT WAS AWESOME! It was rain that you only see in movies, and now I know that it is actually real! I also tripped and took down 4 other people with me. (No surprise) and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life 🙂
The next morning at six am the assistants to the president woke us up and we all worked out together in the hotel parking lot. My roomie (sister Coleman) and I got locked out because our key wouldn't work, and the manager had to come save us. We got to know him and left him a little note with the lifesaver mints that mom gave me. We wrote that he was a LIFESAVER. He came by later, thanked us, gave us his business card and asked us to visit him sometime!!!
All that day we trained at the church, then went to Golden Corral for dinner. A lady there kept saying she knew me from somewhere. She asked sister Cusick where I was from and kept talking with me. She finally said she must have known me from another life, because she had seen my face before. So I gave her a Mormon.org card and my email and told her to email me a time to visit! I was hoping I would get assigned to her area, or the St. Petersburg area. The next day I was assigned to the St. Petersburg area instead, but I'm so happy! I knew I would get to work with Elder Stephen Nelson and it looks like he's my zone leader!!! Woohoo!
My companion is Sister Kunz. She is 20, and looks like my sister! We have the same hair length, similar color, and are both 5 foot 2. She is pretty different from me, she is really intense, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!!! We are going to be really good friends, that's for sure. She has been out 8 months and is from Syracuse, Utah. We have become so incredibly close just in a week! She is a great trainer and is teaching me so much. I'm so blessed to have received such sweet companions!
I have another list for you though, of the utmost importance. It is titled: WHY FLORIDA IS WEIRD:
*They have lizards EVERYWHERE. I freaked out and tried to catch them all and everyone thought I was strange. At night they are attracted to the lights on the walls just like moths are. They just sit there and stare at them and it is so weirdly awesome.
*It rains all the time! I LOVE IT! And there is tons of thunder and lightening which makes me happy. The rain doesn't slowly start though, its just like the sky instantly spit a ton of water down on us all at once.
*In every body of water, there either WAS and alligator, there IS and alligator, or there is GOING TO BE and alligator. Wise words from Brother May who has lived in Florida his whole life.
*There are tons of trailer parks here. And over here, it is totally normal and isn't a sign of low income. In fact, even though they are small, when you go inside of them they have tons of nice things and it looks like a really fancy house.
*There is a pond right in front of my apt and a whole bunch of cranes majestically live there. They are so cutely ugly and awkward! Apparently they are normal here, but I freak out everytime I see them because I think they are so cool. They just walk right up to you!
*On the phone out here you never say "goodbye" before you hang up. It is so weird! Everyone just hangs up on me! I always have to force in a quick "bye" on the phone really fast before whoever I'm talking to hangs up.
So there are cockroaches in our apartment. YUCK. They are just in our kitchen luckily and not all over our apartment! We also have a complex gym, so at six every morning we all go work out there. It is really nice! We are so lucky, because even at six in the morning in Florida it is Humid and hot! I live with another companionship, Sister Klein (a friend from the MTC) and Sister Loveridge (who I love and hope will be a future companion!) The four of us have a ton of fun together.
My first day after the transfer meeting was an amazing day. I went to bed that night so happy and excited for missionary work 🙂 That same day, sister kunz and I met a man named Thomas. He was very interested in our church and we taught him a lesson on the Book of Mormon and then gave him one. We also uploaded the gospel library onto his phone. That night he texted us saying he watched elder Holland's talk, and then one by elder Bednar, and one by Pres. Monson. He read all of 1st nephi that night until 2 am! We taught him over the last few days, and last night we ate dinner with him over at a member's house. We taught him another lesson, and at the end I asked him to be baptized. HE SAID YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He will be baptized August 9th 🙂
We've been teaching a family named the Ripple family, and a few other people. I'm learning so much! Yesterday at church was so different for me. There are only like 100-150 ward members, 2/3 of them are converts. So there are a lot of tattoos, and piercings, and all that stuff that you don't see so much in Utah. They were so strong, and loving and accepting though. It was awesome to see people from different backgrounds all coming together to worship. I felt the spirit very strong. I was asked to bear my testimony last minute! I luckily wasn't too nervous and think I did ok 🙂
I have been a little homesick and have missed everyone. Thank you for the emails! I would love to hear from you! Also my address here in Florida is 2307 Burgundy Terrace, St. Petersburg 33714. LOVE YOU and MISS YOU!!!!
Sister Davis

It was a nail-biting way to do it, but the Reading Royals clinched the final spot in the playoffs by one point. After an up and down season, the players can forget about what happened during the regular season and now focus on the ultimate goal of winning the Kelly Cup.
"Playoffs are why we play," forward Casey Haines said. "The regular season, we play hard, but you lose and you're like, 'Ah, we'll get them next game.' Playoffs, everyone's going hard, everyone's trying to do the right thing, everyone's buying in. It's actually just a completely different type of hockey. It's so much fun to be a part of. We're excited."
The Royals head into the postseason as the eighth seed and will face the first place Elmira Jackals. The series will open Tuesday night in Reading.
The Jackals are far from an unfamiliar foe as the Royals faced no other team more than their division opponent from the north.
"Elmira is a very good team," head coach Larry Courville said. "They work extremely hard. They're going to get better – I'm sure they'll get some guys from the American League with Binghamton not making the playoffs. They've had our number for the most part of the season, but we lost to them also four times in overtime or a shootout."
The Jackals are the only team the Royals did not have a winning record over in the Atlantic Division. They finished their season series 5-6-2-3 with the last three games going Elmira's way.
But the Royals don't care what seed they are or what happened over the season. They are ready to put it all behind them and start fresh.
"It's a new season," goaltender Karel St-Laurent said. "Anything can happen and we feel comfortable playing Elmira. Every game that we played against them, we gave them a hard time and the fact that we're starting the first two games at home is going to be a benefit for us."
Elmira features a deadly top line of Artem Demkov, Mike Radja and Dustin Gazley, who won the ECHL scoring title as a rookie. The three combined for 194 points (76G, 118A) in 185 games.
But that doesn't mean the Royals are short on talented players. They boast captain Yannick Tifu, who led the team in assists (47) and points (70) and finished sixth in the league in scoring. They also feature 27-goal scorer Olivier Labelle, who led the league in power-play goals (13).
"They have a great team, a lot of speed, a lot of good players," St-Laurent said. "We have a lot of talent in the room with the changes made during the season. I think it's going to help us for the playoffs."
The changes made, which started back on Nov. 28 with the trade of Chad Painchaud for Tifu, had a slow effect over the season, but the biggest and fastest impact was felt the week of March 4 with the acquisitions of Ethan Cox, Ian O'Connor, Colten Hayes and Chris Doyle.
Since then, the Royals became seemingly unstoppable as they piled on the points down the stretch, finishing 9-2-1.
"We've been hot for the last month and a half," Courville said. "The guys fought hard and committed to playing better defensively and worked harder at practice and the results showed up in the games."
Some may be concerned that the team's tank could be low on energy after what they accomplished, but the captain disagrees.
"Yes, we burned a lot of energy," Tifu said. "Tired is in your head. We just carry that momentum. We can't be too high either; can't be too low. Carry that momentum without being too confident. It's the playoffs. It's 60 minutes – anything can happen."
The biggest question heading into the first round is the goaltending situation for the Royals.
"Our plan is probably to have three goaltenders on our playoff roster because of the Toronto situation," Courville said. "Whether Mark [Owuya] is one of those three, we'll decide that Monday at the latest. The plan is right now is of course have Karel and possibly [Brad] Eidsness. We'll make that decision Monday."
The hope is that with the Toronto Marlies off until Friday, they will send Owuya down for the first two games. Until then, the net is in the hands of St. Laurent, who won them the game Saturday and gave them a chance to win Friday in Elmira.
"He gave us a chance in Elmira to get that point," Tifu said. "We don't get that point, we're not here today to talk. The kid's played really well. It's hard for him. He didn't play for a long time with Owuya and Jussi [Rynnas] coming back and forth and back and forth and he couldn't have the net. Right now, Karel played great so I'm not really worried about what's going to happen Tuesday."
As far as any other help goes, Courville will be calling around to the AHL teams who are out of the playoffs to see if he can get back some of the players who were on the team at one point, including Dale Mitchell and Ryan Button.
As the opening faceoff approaches, it looks to be a slightly uneven match, but with the momentum and new defensive play, it won't be impossible for the Royals to pull off the underdog win.
"When the puck drops, I have confidence in that group of guys," Tifu said. "We just did something that's unbelievable."

White Wedding - La Pomme 10/15/11 Manhattan, New York
La Pomme features a very nice room and our clients who threw an 80s anniversary party had a stage built for us while Sean and Ginger provided the sound and lighting. I did not get to to see the crowd during our performance but marveled at some of the 80s fashion sense afterwards as is often the case at these parties. We played a good two sets and due to time constraints were packed up by 11 p.m., Unique to this performance was "Limelight" by Rush which was a special request (see below)
possibly my coolest space yet, I had my own little makeshift drum riser.
After passing White Castle on the way to rehearsal every week it was nice to finally have some pre-rendezvous at the Callbox. Two Jalapeno Double Cheeseburgers, One Double Cheeseburger and a sack of Fries ($7.68). Two Cheeseburgers are plenty the third came home with me.
I forgot the band were dining together and wasted my appetite on the murder burgers. pictured above are BLT Poppers ($6) from the very cool Hog Pit NYC bar located right next to La Pomme, this bar offered a Quart Bottle of Colt 45 for $10.00
Limelight is one of the most difficult songs we have had to learn to date and gave us a run for our money as far as ensemble playing, Dave is reading the sheet music during the 3/4 guitar solo section.
Labels: 80s music, La Pomme, White Wedding

Note: Rick has so much to tell about his trip that we'll be posting in two parts: Cairo today and Jerusalem and Tel Aviv after the break. Happy Thanksgiving weekend, everyone.
My Travels To Cairo, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv: The Story of the Ancient City, the Holy City, and Sin City
I recently returned from a Middle East excursion to the cities of Cairo, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Reflecting upon my experiences, I find that only now am I able to appreciate just how different these cities were. The trip added a new dimension to my studies in global history and urban modernities; it put our theoretical studies in the classroom into the practical, and thus supplemented what I had been studying all semester.
Cairo: The Ancient City
A majority of my time during the trip was spent in Cairo, a very dense city (just shy of 82,000 people/sq. mile) that seamlessly blends together its ancient history with modern aspects of a global city. The pyramids of Giza, a town right on the outskirts of Cairo, can be easily seen from the Nile River, which is lined with rows of high-rise buildings, expensive hotels, and lavish riverboat cruises. The riverboat cruises in and of themselves represent the duality of this city; on a boat that makes the Titanic look modest, the entertainment for the night consisted of belly dancing and a whirling dervish. For tourists, this city is open for business, and there is no greater proof of this than the Khan El Khalili marketplace in downtown Cairo.
The Khan El Khalili is a famous marketplace frequented by visitors because of its abundance of (relatively) cheap goods, as well as great coffee shops and eateries. It embodies the density of the city – very tight alleys lined with merchants looking to sell you everything they have – and it was a lot of fun to negotiate prices with the merchants to see how low they would go. There were so many tourists that our ability to negotiate prices to what they should actually cost was compromised (because the merchant could easily go find someone who would pay four times what we would pay) but it was still a vibrant atmosphere and it can be quite fun if you enjoy arguing with a stranger. The exchange rate is roughly 5 Egyptian pounds : 1 American dollar, but the real exchange rate (i.e. the purchasing power of 1 American dollar) is about 8 or 9 Egyptian pounds : 1 American dollar. I think this is important for any person who wishes to go to Cairo to know, because the merchants in Khan El Khalili can be tough, and it's nice to know how far your money can go. Nonetheless, the bargaining is part of the culture, so that particular marketplace is not just for buying souvenirs to bring home but rather is a Cairo experience worth having.
There seemed to be a part of Cairo that was reserved for tourists, and a part reserved for Egyptians. The separation that took place between tourists and the locals reminded me somewhat of Times Square in a way; the locals could go to the tourist destinations (especially the Khan El Khalili marketplace) but why would they do that when it is cheaper to go to a less tourist-populated area (Islamic Cairo or the Village in NYC)? In this comparison I wish to show that the separation of locals and tourists was not that of force, but rather of choice.
I decided to venture off of the tourist path and go see what the more "real" Cairo was like. I was rewarded well for my choice. Once off the beaten trail in Cairo, I found the people to be incredibly nice and open to Americans. I did not know until I arrived in Cairo that I looked Egyptian, but my blonde-haired, blue-eyed girlfriend gave us away as non-locals. Though initially nervous of this fact, the people we met in Islamic Cairo – a part of the city that is no more "Islamic" than any other part, but where very few tourists go for some reason – were so kind and welcoming that I quickly put my guard down.
We ended up meeting a gentleman named Ayman who asked us to join him in his quilt and bag shop for tea. "Conversation and laughter is free," he said, obviously aware of the people in the tourist areas known as "touts" who offer to lead you around town and then afterwards ask you for money. Ayman was one of the nicest people I have ever met. We ended up sitting with him and talking for two hours until I informed him I had promised a merchant in Khan El Khalili that I would watch the Egypt/Algerian soccer match with him. "Watch it with us!" Ayman said glowingly. I wondered initially who "us" was exactly, and then quickly realized that he was referring to the entire street of people! We were escorted down the street and found roughly 100 chairs, a large sheet and a projector that was broadcasting the game for the neighborhood. Once the chairs were full, the crowd ended up just standing wherever they could see the match. What a sense of community and national pride one could feel amidst this block in the middle of Cairo! It was almost overwhelming, but as a sports fan I was right in the middle of it.
We watched the match (and celebrated the victory, as if we were the reason they won) with Ayman and company, and after the match he invited us to a local café for food and drinks. He was so kind to us, and he did it in exchange for only our friendship. There was such a stark contrast between the Egyptians we had met in the tourist areas – aggressive to make a sale and belligerent at times – and the Egyptians we had met in Islamic Cairo and other less touristy places. We made it a point to avoid tourist places the rest of the time there. The city on the whole was a fantastic experience I would love to go back, equipped now with lessons learned from my first time there.

Part of Jon's Christmas present was a surprise trip to Quebec City. I have never been, and he hadn't been for years. Since we both love road trips, we rented a car and headed up there for a long weekend. The city was beautiful and I definitely suggest visiting if you ever get the chance.
Old Quebec City is inside the walls of a fort overlooking the St. Lawrence river. You literally drive underneath stone arches to get inside. Once you are in the walls, it is just narrow, winding streets of shops and restaurants. And with everyone speaking French, it does give the illusion of wandering through a small section of Paris. Its one of the oldest cities in North America, and it was originally called New France. The city is pretty touristy (literally tacky gift shop after tacky gift shop) but you can find some cute stores, and regardless its fun to see all the quirky, unpractical gifts you can buy.
The Chateau Frontenac is where we went to get drinks the first night we were there. The hotel is enormous and beautiful. The bar drinks were a bit expensive... but so worth it! They know how to make a good martini, and the menu had a ton of options I wanted to try. Jon even enjoyed his Old Fashioned (which rarely happens when we are out).
We happened to plan the trip on the first weekend of Quebec's Winter Carnival. I have never seen anything like it before in my life, and we were there on what seemed to be a quiet night. The Winter Carnival is like a mix between Mardi Gras and a fair, and goes on for 2 weeks. There are different sections you can visit inside the grounds (like an arctic spa... hot tubs you can sit in outside in the 0 degree weather) and a bunch of vendors to get food and drinks from. There is also entertainment: dj's, parades, fireworks. Unfortunately we left before the first night parade, but we got to see fireworks and go to one of the outdoor dance parties.
Bonhomme, the ambassador of the Winter Carnival.
But probably our favorite thing to do while in Quebec was visit the Morrin Center. It is an old jail that was turned in to a university in the 1800's. We weren't quite sure what to expect, but we took the tour and loved every minute of it. The building library was definitely the best part, but the laboratory and jail cells you visit are very cool too. The history of the building really opened your eyes to how old Quebec is and all the changes it has gone through throughout the years.
We will definitely be going back! I can hear the bartenders at Chateau Frontenac calling my name!

Twinkly Destruction = Banglody
Everything is exploding and blood is falling all around you while it changes form and switches istelf in a quick second to blow up beautifull in your eyes overtaking them and using twinkles and blings to seduce your mind. Your mind expands and then shrinks and then explodes and then implodes and then realizes that Fake Tats is the fucking double idientity. Bangers. Melody. Banglody.
I have wanted to post this banglody for awhile. Calling In Sick tears things apart while they stun you and cradles your strawberry mangled body in their scorpion arms. Scorpion arms made of gummy lifesavers electrified.
Calling In Sick - Cali Games
Designer Drugs shapes banglodies for the consumption of the audibly crippled. If you can not hear, if you live inside of a hole filled with sponges that soak up the sound of synths and sixteenths, these banglodies will still penetrate. I once played this song in Hong Kong, around 20 B.C. and it exploded the population and that is why China is purple.
Les Gens Pour Ce QUils Sont (Designer Drugs Remix)
Computer Club likes to remix New Order. We all know New Order has melody. New Order does not bang. Like New Order? Want them to bang? New Order got banglodied.
Bizarre Love Triangle (Computer Club Cover)
Midnight Juggernauts make melodic bangers on their own terms. They also remix things that were prevoiusly just melodic, or had a little bang to them, but didn't really have constant explosions. Sebastian Tellier is addicted to sex, this Midnight Juggernauts rework of his song Divine makes it seem like he is addicted to rape.
Divine (Midnight Juggernauts Remix)
SebastiAn doesn't know what the word banger means, he doesn't know what the word melody means, he doesn't speak any language, his mind is a computer, his body is a forever evolving android made of sulfar and nicotine. He made this song.

Local events get funding boost
TOOWOOMBA and the Golden West may be even better places to visit soon.
The Queensland State Government has allocated $67,500 to five local events.
Member for Toowoomba North Kerry Shine announced the windfall and said it will go aiding the region's economic development.
The money is coming as part of the Events Queensland Regional Development Program and is set to support the Hell of the West triathlon, the Chinchilla Melon Festival, the Easter Vintage Festival, the Tara Festival of Culture and Camel Race and the Tour of Toowoomba cycling event.
Mr Shine said the events being funded will cater to a range of tastes.
"There is something for everyone with local food, wine, music, arts, culture, scenery and adventure on show," Mr Shine said.
"This is about supporting events that bring in tourists to spend in the region's shops, restaurants and hotels.
"This funding is supporting events that attract tourists, increase economic activity, support jobs, entertain locals and boost community spirit."
In addition to this recent funding boost, the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers and Easterfest have secured multi-year agreements with Events Queensland.
The Carnival and Easterfest will receive a combined figure of $330,000 from Events Queensland.
Hell of the West 2011 - January 30
The Hell of the West triathlon in Goondiwindi is set to benefit from $7,500 from the State Government. The event has been affectionately dubbed "Queensland's toughest" triathlon and it consists of a two kilometre swim leg, an 80km cycle leg and finally a 20km run.
Chinchilla Melon Festival 2011 - February 17 - 20
A celebration of the humble melon is ready to get a $30,000 boost. That's a lot of melons. The event features melon skiing, melon eating and a whole bunch of melon-themed activities.
Easter Vintage Festival 2011- April 23 - 25
Toowoomba's recreation of "pioneers living off the land" is in store for $15,000 worth of old-school charm. The annual event brings to life archaic crafts such as silver-smithing and black-smithing as well as celebrating music and machinery from back in the day.
Tour of Toowoomba 2011 - June 17 - 19
The Tour of Toowoomba places men's cycling teams against each other on some of Australia's toughest road courses. It's in for a $5000 boost thanks to Events Queensland. The event features five different routes, a charity ride and a gala dinner.
Tara Festival of Culture and Camel Race 2011 - August 5 - 7
The Festival promotes multiculturalism and a greater understanding of the diversity that exists within the Tara region; as well, of course, as the famed camel race. The event is set to become $10,000 richer.

Well, that was frustratingly educational. Turns out
you can click on BUY, enter zero for the number of
lindens, and no money event will fire. *snarls, yanks
hair* I could make freebies sell using the TOUCH
option on the pie menu or something, but your typical
user isn't going to think of trying that. I finally
accepted that this particular holo-vendor won't sell
free items. It does IM the owner with information
about the sale now.
Lots more thinking on holo-vendors and their usefulness.
I also went ahead and took pictures of my cages and
prepared them for sale at SLExchange. Writing ad copy
makes me laugh. I'm going to wait until Friday to
enter the information on the website; I seem to get
more sales that way.

It hates the holo-vendor, it does, my precious!

PLATFORMS: BusinessObjects 4.1 is installed on multiple IBM RISC 6000 servers running UNIX with Sybase databases. A version of the product is also used on an IBM 3093 mainframe computer running DB2. End users have PC-based desktop computers running Microsoft NT and Windows 95.
BACKGROUND: Kaiser Permanente is America's largest not-for-profit health maintenance organization (HMO), serving 9.1 million members. An integrated health delivery system, Kaiser organizes and provides or coordinates members' care and hospital, medical and pharmacy services.
PROBLEM SOLVED: Kaiser measures its success by being able to provide consistent, quality health care while simultaneously finding ways to reduce costs for the organization and its customers. To accomplish this goal, Kaiser implemented a data warehouse with BusinessObjects as the primary decision support tool. The data warehouse has saved the corporation and patients millions of dollars while improving quality of care. For example, Kaiser used the data warehouse to evaluate drugs being used by physicians to treat a certain disorder. They found that one drug provided effective treatment and was much less expensive than the other two. By standardizing on this particular drug, Kaiser was able to save millions of dollars per year on reduced prescription costs and was able to pass these savings on to patients.
PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY: From an administrative standpoint, BusinessObjects allows Kaiser's IT staff to easily manage security, user profiles, the central repository of business objects, meta data and microcubes, removing this responsibility from end users. The product also has the functionality and flexibility to work for a broad range of employees.
STRENGTHS: The main strengths of BusinessObjects 4.1 are functionality, performance and ease of use. Using a single interface, end users can easily perform queries, receive and generate reports, do on-line analytical processing (OLAP) and drill down into reports to get more information or perform ad hoc analysis. And because of the product's high performance, users don't have to wait for results.
WEAKNESSES: BusinessObjects requires a semantic layer, which shields end users from the complexity of the database schema. This layer requires initial work from the IT staff, who need to set up the meta data layer and repository, establish security profiles for users and groups of users, and deploy the product. However, this up-front investment in time is well worth the effort, especially in enterprise deployments, because it allows users to quickly leverage the power of the product to make more intelligent business decisions.
SELECTION CRITERIA: The main reason for choosing BusinessObjects 4.1 was because of the product's ease of use. Kaiser has found that BusinessObjects users require only a one-day class to become competent with the product. Kaiser also selected BusinessObjects because of the product's depth of functionality. At their own pace, users can easily graduate from viewing simple reports to doing complex "what-if" analysis.
DELIVERABLES: Users can receive predefined reports or do their own ad hoc queries. Users can also do OLAP or slice-and-dice and drill-down analysis. And they can post reports to the Web or share them with team members via the BusinessObjects repository or e-mail. On the administrative side, the product provides Kaiser's IT staff with several utilities that aid in rapidly setting up the BusinessObjects semantic layer. In addition, security can be managed from a central point, which is important in large deployments.
VENDOR SUPPORT: Vendor support has been very good.
DOCUMENTATION: The documentation is thorough and gives end users a good start in learning how to use the product.

Old news, new year
Every year I make the same resolution -- to read 50 books. One year, back in the '90s, I shocked myself and got up to 65, goal completed and surpassed. Usually, however, I hover around 30. This year was an all time low, only 17, I believe. That's unsettling. I have noticed that the more I draw, the less I read. Not good -- I want both!
So I'm happy to say I'm on schedule so far in 2009, I haven't wrecked it yet. Last night I finished Natalie Goldberg's LIVING COLOR, a lovely book about the author's efforts to paint and what she learned about herself along the way. I had actually read this book a few years ago, but that was before I was learning how to paint too. This rereading was much more exciting for me because I understood every single word.

Michael Rosen, great children's author, supporter of Stop the War even though he wishes to deny it, and former candidate for RESPECT, the party of George Galloway, who called Saddam Hussein 'indefatigable', posted 5 interesting questions tonight. Rather in the style of the conspiracist who asks questions (to which the answer is always 'No'), he sought to affirm the Christ-like purity of Jeremy Corbyn's integrity and ability to save lives. It's part of the 'always-on-the-right-side-of-history' narrative. The problem is that one needs to look at the facts. These were my responses.
'Good questions.
Rosen: How many lives lost because of who Corbyn met?
Me: Question 1 is almost impossible to answer but it is unlikely that it would have been less than it otherwise would have been because we have no record of JC ever brokering a peace.
Jeremy Corbyn, founder of Stop the War. Photo courtesy The Independent.
Rosen: How many lives lost from wars started or supported by the Tories?
Question 2. Let's start at 1991, the Iraq War 1 which JC opposed. It is difficult to estimate how many Kuwaitis would have died had Saddam been allowed to annex the country. Based on his previous war and genocide records it would have been some large percentage of Kuwait's 2 million population.
1999 Kosovo intervention, which JC opposed, stopped the genocide. 1.8 million lived in the area.
2000, Sierra Leone, which JC again opposed saved that country of 4 million from further civil war. Figures on how many lives were saved are hard to come by.
2001 Afghanistan which JC opposed. Had his advice been taken, the Taliban would still rule the country and AQ would have had a secure base from which to grow, train operatives, launder money and organize world-wide terrorist attacks in complete security.
2003 Iraq. Violent death figures are disputed between 100,000 and the high and generally disregarded estimates of 1 million. The war itself was very short and relatively low in death figures. The insurgency, organised by ex-Ba'athists and the precursor group to IS, then loosely linked to AQ, was the cause of the brutality which followed: Pilger said that western leftists had 'no choice' but to support the insurgency. The population of Iraq in 2003 was 26 million: today it is around 34 million. So, many more Iraqis are alive, highly likely because better conditions have been created in which Iraqis can live. The size of the diaspora pre-2003 would account for only half the rise in population. Violent deaths pre-2003 outnumber by an order of magnitude those after 2003.
2011 Libya I don't have figures.
2013 Syria. JC opposed the no-fly zone suggestion for safe areas for civilians. Assad has since killed his own people in the hundreds of thousands. Exact numbers again are difficult in the fog of war. Ca. 500,000 is often quoted but the methodologically conservative SNHR numbers about 200,000. This is not to mention the internally and externally displaced who number ca. 10 million. It is highly likely that the no-fly zones would have saved Syrian lives, cowed Assad and deterred Iran and Russia from helping Assad and his Chemical Weapons and bombing of medical facilities campaigns. JC repeats the mantra of calling for 'talks', yet he knows that whenever Assad and Putin agree to them, there are spikes in Assadist violence and killing of the population. JC deliberately obfuscates this recurring fact.
Homs, 'capital' of the Syrian revolution: not CGI but obliterated by Assad. Photo courtesy BBC.
Rosen: And Corbyn is the one who is supposedly 'dangerous'?
On question 3 given that record, yes, there are thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands and more who would not exist if JC had been the decision-maker.
Rosen: How many dictators or terrorists have the Tories one moment been against, the next moment been for, the next moment against again! (sic)
On question 4, I can't think off-hand of 1 terrorist group which the Tories have supported, although I am happy to be proved wrong. Repulsive régimes, yes. Yet instead of grandstanding in such a morally easy way about how revolting, say, KSA is, one does have to conduct a rational, informed discussion about the implications of withdrawing arms sales. Who would KSA go to for their arms? China, Russia, USA, France, Italy? What would be the foreign policy and balance of power implications, as well as those for the UK in terms of jobs and energy security?
Rosen: And Corbyn is the one who is supposedly dangerous?
On question 5 it is not fake news to describe JC as a fellow traveller with the IRA, a shill for Iran and a man who equates the murder of 3,000 people with the lack of a trial for Osama bin Laden. He does not, or pretends not to, understand the degrees in a moral compass. Nor does he comprehend that intention with regard to action tells us what we need to know about the actor. It is an awful fact that in the world bad people will continue to do appalling things if you leave them be. And their intention will be to continue killing because, weak as their polity is, that's what they're good at. Sometimes terrible things have to be done to them in order to stop them, but also in order to produce a better society. It's a simple fact that the replacement of Assad with, say, Emmanuel Macron as President of Syria would immediately lead to better outcomes for Syria. Methods and intentions matter: JC always obfuscates them.'
I could have been harsher. I could have pointed out that JC always considers who has been murdered before determining his political response to it. But that would have been blindingly obvious. Perhaps I should have. If you have the misfortune to be tortured, killed or a member of a genocided group which is tortured, killed or genocided by a client of the Soviet Union, Russia, an Islamist or anybody vaguely anti-democratic, you are not worthy of effective support. It's a pattern of behaviour and it's as simple as that.
If a man, even before he obtains state power, is capable of thinking that, then he is capable of thinking anything. And that is why I cannot, and I hope you should not, support Jeremy Corbyn.

Netscape's Branded Browser Name: 2001?
Tuesday February 8th, 2000
Henrik Gemal writes, "According to a bug that I reported the name of the next generation browser from Netscape is gonna be... hold on...
Netscape 2001
The bug report per mail. Check out the last line!!!!:
------- Additional Comments From email@example.com 2000-02-07 17:49 ------- The component names and their descriptions should be as follows (in this order):
Navigator -- 'Web browser software'
First, does anyone know for sure that this is the real name? Or is this just another 'placeholder' name?
I've gotta say that I don't think that the name of the app necessarily informs when it will be released. That said, I think it's a great name. It takes Communicator completely out of the game of version number one-upsmanship. It could also tie in really well with the whole mystique around '2001: A Space Odyssey'. They could be playful with it, and have their green Moz standing before a giant monolith...
There's also some other news of interest: there's going to be a Netscape-branded Instant Messenger, as well (which, I believe, will be built around XUL). It'd be nice to get some clarification on this.
#4 Netscape AIM & ICQ in one.

People? What about ICQ? My guess is the New Instant Messenger client will be a dual client that works with AIM and ICQ. Seeing how AOL owns all of these acronyms now.
By the way, Bring back the mozillazine.org UI! Viva la Revolucion!

How does the name "Joy Electric" not instantly give away that the band is targeting the electronica crowd (as opposed to the rock crowd)??? :confused:
If you bought this album expecting to hear rock or punk or something along those lines, I don't know how you ever came to those expectations. You shouldn't make unfounded expectations about any purchase that you make, only to complain later when the purchase does not meet your expectations. Either a) make well-founded, logical expectations -or- b) don't make expectations at all. But, above all, do not say "Oh... looky, an album by [i]Joy Electric[/i] filed in the electronica section.... I bet this will be some great sounding punk rock!" and then be dismayed when it isn't what you expected. That's ridiculous.
Furthermore, why (with the multitude of demo mp3s online and the ease with which you can preview music at retail stores) would you not LISTEN to some parts of the album [i]before[/i] purchasing it? This would save you the money you spent, and the trouble of reviewing an album that you do understand.
If you like old-school electronica (or even if you just like exotic songwriting techniques), you will love this album. It's not my favorite that Ronnie has ever put out, but it's definitely not my least favorite. It's wonderful. I give it a 9.
In His love,

Purple Cauliflower Harvest!!!
The vegetables overfloweth! Tonight we ate our 1st purple cauliflower. Sadly, there are only 4 more in the garden. I'm almost tempted to spring for purple cauliflower seeds (Graffitti) online and have them shipped.
I served it with some homemade thin crust, light on the cheese, turkey pepperoni pizza. Delish!

Many have asked to see my small studio. So here it is.
For a small space I do get a lot done in here. It is my little haven.
Up on the hutch you can see a small project I started on my small portable design wall. A log cabin variation. I want to hang it in one of my bathrooms. After putting it together I decided to make it more narrow for the wall space I have in there. So it is only two blocks across now. I will have photos soon.

the field of pattern recognition
I've read two or three books about pattern recognition in its broadest sense.
PopCo by Scartlett Thomas and the one by William Gibson spring to mind.
They both include the idea of the person that spends their time divining the Zeitgeist and figuring how to repackage it for greater corporate profit.
Both stories include protagonists who are a little off kilter with their peers. In PopCo the heroine travels on a midnight train to avoid her co-workers and in the Gibson we see someone who has a phobia towards all brand labels.
They'd understand the little quote I heard today whilst travelling across the countryside, "I really want sunglass frames that colour", pointing towards the bales of hay in the field.

Highland Heights Community Art Room-
I have been volunteering at the H.H.C.A.R. for about 2 1/2 years. The art room is place where many people from different walks of life come together to create art using various types of mediums. It is a place where we can all be on the "same page" and express our creativity while sharing God's love with one another. We meet every Monday from 10am-12noon. They call me and the 3 other lovely ladies that I work with "art angels". I made the sign that I am holding. It is one of the dozen or so signs that will be displayed outside as part of our community outreach. We would love for you to join us sometime. The Art Room is such a blessing for our community!

Your host, Lynda Williams, is the author of the Okal Rel Saga (Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing) and editor of the Okal Rel Legacies series (Absolute Xpress). She also works as Learning Technology Analyst for Simon Fraser University and teaches a introductory web development course at BCIT. For a list of Okal Rel titles see: Lynda Williams on Amazon.com.
Last Friday I enjoyed a social hour with a friend, Donalda Meyers, and her husband Nick Faragher, the author of a collection of short stories (The Well). My writerly daughter, Jennifer Lott, joined us and at some point the conversation turned to what writers have in common. We quickly determined it wasn't our approaches to plotting or outlining. Nick Faragher's stories are mainstream (we debated the definition and applicability of 'literary'). Jenny and I write SF. She leans in the direction of children. My readers are teenage and up. On the whole, there wasn't a lot we shared. But there was. It was tangible. And it wasn't just comparing notes about the editing process although I admit that's a factor.
So what is it? My guess was the need to observe and interpret. Maybe to bend the world a little through the lens of our narrative. A dissatisfaction with life's failure to explain itself adequately. Or maybe the obsession to frame questions as we see them. And, then, to communicate what we discover. To test it out on the world with some mixture of ego and courage. At least that's how I remember the discussion. (For a less grandiose look at the situation, however, check out my other daughter's youtube puppet show Living With Writers, in which myself and Jennifer are two of the three writers lampooned.)
What do you think writers have in common regardless of intended audience or genre? (Apart from annoying their families.)

text: The Situation: A GM creates a campaign, recruits players and then flakes out, deleting the game without notifying players. When a game is deleted, the Players lose everything they contributed in the game, including assets like completed character sheets, content in handouts, system macros and any in-game API commands. The Problem: Missing out on a game you prepped and contributed to is disappointing enough, but losing all the assets you built for the game is a serious issue. It should be considered normal user behavior to write character backgrounds, API and Macros only into the in-game character sheets. These assets should not be so vulnerable to unreliable game creators. Suggestion: When a game creator deletes a game that has joined-players, the deleted game should go into a holding area for a set period of time (e.g. 48 hours); All players are notified by email that the game has been deleted by its creator and that it will be removed from servers after the holding period expires; While in the holding area, Players can use subscriber/pro tools such as the Transmogrifier or the Character Vault to copy certain assets they either created or control (such as: their character sheets). I am open to any number of methods for claiming the content and would love to hear quality solutions. Notes: If a GM ghosts a campaign and deletes it, players should at least be able to get their characters out. Folks do this often enough that some precautions should be put into place to protect players from the loss of time and effort. Heaven forbid if a player's only copy of their beloved character background is lost in such an incident because they rely on the Roll20 character sheet for data storage. -- I found several threads specifically about notifying players or penalizing naughty GMs. I'm interested in a system that protects Players from content loss. https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4989248/slug%7D https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4023647/slug%7D https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5065008/slug%7D https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4244970/slug%7D
