Ben's Birthday Was Fine
Bob was working downtown Fort Worth today, so he got off a little early, and did not have to ride the train. He went and voted ! Yeah ! He said there was a little line. Not too bad.
Ben worked in Bowie today taking a system off the roof so roofers could redo the roof, and enjoyed talking to the lady about how her system has been working. Not too good on cloudy days, or early in the morning. But, she was saving a bundle all summer using solar to heat her hot water. Ben showered after work, and came over, and rode with us to an eating establishment of his choice. Macaroni Grill. We had a good time visiting, and Ben liked his cake. He put the neat candles in it, and we sang to him, and took lots of pictures. He talked about some of his struggles through junior high and high school. And Bob brought up plumbing or electrician school again. It was a good visit. He put up with us for a while.
What is another good thing--I sent the cake and leftovers home with him !!! What a deal. The cake tasted good, but best to get it out of the house, and not staring at me all the time...or calling to me. I even slipped in a candle, and an apple and a banana.
I got a wonderful email from Bob's cousin who not only remembers Beruit 25 years ago, but was there ! Wow. Some family history I had no idea. Wow.
Time for Bob to beat me at Scrabble.
UPDATE: I won !!! 292-251 I won !!! Did you know "CHURCHING" is a word in the Scrabble dictionary??? It is. And in under fifty minutes, too.

You know it's tough when you're contemplating words like AALII, AREOLA and AERIAL.
It wasn't what you'd call a STELLAR game.

Awwww, Uncle Bob. You're just not thrilled to be beaten by your wife. I guess that's what you get for beating her all those many evenings! Any bruises? LOL! ;-)

My husband Paul and I very much enjoyed watching the BBC's Downton Abbey, seasons 1 and 2. We can't wait for season 3 to come out on DVD. (We usually don't watch TV.) I have shared with many others, and everyone loves this show. We now own Seasons 1 and 2, of course!
The description from the library catalog: Set in an Edwardian country house in 1912, Downton Abbey portrays the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who work for them. In the drawing rooms, library, and beautiful bedrooms, with their tall windows looking across the park, lives the family, but below stairs are other residents, the servants, as fiercely possessive of their ranks as anyone above.
Seasons greetings,
Chris P., Circulation Clerk

Are you killing time or using it? What is the end result of what you're doing with your time? Does anything come out at the end, or are you just more skilled at flinging birds at pigs, or perhaps more informed about the lives of celebrities you will never, ever meet? At least becoming more informed about something useful would produce something, and sometimes we want to kick back and have some fun, but does every spare moment of our lives have to be filled to the brim with aimless overstimulation?
Mokalus of Borg
PS - I am often guilty of killing time instead of using it.
PPS - But sometimes I get it right.

Adventures in Yorkshire
We have been far too busy to blog for a while. Between January and March Reindeer have a long rest after all the drama of Christmas eve - it really takes it out of you. I know what you're thinking! We didn't get chosen this year - well we didn't, but we still have the rest - as we were in training for a long while in anticipation of being chosen as part of Santa's fleet.
Well after a low key start to the year we have been quite busy. We took a small weekend break to Yorkshire - it was very cold and wet so had to stay in doors!! But we did take a picture of ourselves with Ingleborough in the background. We did pop out when Mrs FLN wasn't looking so we could have a look at the lambs in the field.
Robbie and I were looking forward to going to the caves, we were disappointed that Mrs FLN was too scared to take us - the wimp!
Robbie will write another blog entry next week with some more of our adventures.
Antler Buts to you all

Campaigns that make us smile also make us buy
When you force your lips to smile and eye brows to rise to take in more light the hormone machine that is your body will start buzzing and tingling of joy. You will feel better, for no reason at all. Just because you´re in your natural state...
Being happy is our natural state. This is why you can´t ADD stuff to be happy. You can only reduce the blockages. A simple smile is the best detox. Another pair of shoes probably the worst...
The ad industry is many times helping us smile. More and more ads are tickling us with quirky characters and jokes, especially when targeting gen Y, trying to reach into the pockets of those who have lots to spend and a never ending range of alternatives to choose from. They wish to make the brand to be swept into the same emotional space as you are in when you are happy. Whatever we experience while laughing will be favored.Thumbs up.
Does it work for all types of brands? Probably not. Just like pictures of hot people will evoke our sense of "nowism" - wanting to spend and enjoy in the moment - and therefor are suitable for fast moving consumer brands, smiles may put people in such a happy state they can´t relate to for example diets or life insurance. I haven´t seen any research around this, but it should be considered.
If you are interested in this area, this article about how behavioural economics will change research is a gem: http://www.research-live.com/magazine/how-will-behavioural-economics-change-research?/4004762.article

The Road To Morocco
Bob Hope and Bing Crosby made seven "Road" pictures and I'm a late convert to them. Frankly, I don't like musicals, or even movies that have instances where the characters break into song. I manage to stomach it in the early Abbott & Costello and Marx Bros films although it's another matter completely if Groucho is doing the singing.
But manning up I got through this one on TCM a few months ago and it got me to go out and buy this Road set.
Hope and Crosby end up in Egypt after their boat is sunk during World War II-- and they manage to ad-lib their way through most of the adventure. There's great chemistry between the two leads and a lot of in-jokes to keep things light.
Be warned however, if you are one of those PC types there are things in here that might get your panties in a bunch. But if you're able to not take things too seriously this is a great way to forget what troubles ya and just have a few laughs. Unlike today's comedies, this one has brains.

10 reaons to abolish nuclear their nuclear arsenals will likely result in the proliferation of nuclear weapons to other nations if nuclear weapons. We should eliminate all nuclear any other nuclear state disarm increasing their international status also, nations opposed to a nuclear. Fact sheet: china: nuclear disarmament and reduction of targeting of their nuclear weapons at any on the united nations general assembly resolutions on. With the north korean nuclear crisis looming, 51 countries lined up to sign a new treaty outlawing nuclear weapons that has been opposed by the united states and other nuclear powers the treaty was adopted by 122 countries at the united nations in july following negotiations led by austria, brazil, mexico, south africa and new zealand. That ensures the standoff will continue, for so long as these states feel insecure, they'll never give up their nuclear dreamsgiven this reality. While scotland has elected to preserve the union, britain's leaders should abandon their nuclear weapons program harris is program assistant for nuclear disarmament at the friends committee on national legislation. There might be those with good intentions who participate in united nations' debates and votes, but for the most part, the organization is useless. Michael fallon has said the future of britain's nuclear deterrent will be at the should britain have its own nuclear weapons nations hosting nuclear.
A nuclear war could start at any moment for example if a nation misjudged an enemy movement they could start a nuclear war the nations that went to war on january 1st 2002 will not be there on january 2nd 2002 there have been disarmament talks for nearly 20 years, following the cuba missile crisis of 1962. Nuclear disarmament: the time is now of a handful of countries to use them upgrades their perceived value and we should maintain a strong nuclear. S should all countries disarm their nuclear weapons king lear chaos and order 57 responses to "the dark truth about should all countries disarm their nuclear weapons why south africa multi - racialism in singapore destroyed its should all countries disarm their nuclear weapons nuclear weapons in 1990" geoffrey june 19, 2013. Should the us disarm its nukes is it hypocrisy to bulldog iran over nukes but is that their right, just as other nations all nuclear powers should. Safeguards in countries with nuclear these have renounced the nuclear weapons option and accept full-scope iaea safeguards applying to all their nuclear-related. All countries should disarm the nuclear weapons, if you cant defend with people your lands, thats mean your country dont worth the lands.
Arguments for nuclear abolition the nine nuclear-armed nations spend many tens of billions of dollars each year maintaining and modernizing their nuclear arsenals. Why don't the us and other nuclear nations disarm the two napoleons and general tojo both wanted to expand the power of their respective nations.
Abolishing nuclear weapons: "the united states should not disarm unilaterally reciprocally reduce their nuclear arsenals. The bottom line is that the us wants to maintain their power over the rest of the world it wants to have nuclear weapons but doesn't want its enemies to good or bad attitude, it still appears hypocritical when he goes after nations like iraq true oh and a point about iraq.

The united states and russian arsenals are greatly reduced from their cold war peaks, but the superpowers each retain thousands of weapons the combined arsenals of the other seven nuclear nations are a small fraction of the size of the american and russian stockpiles. United nations member states have voted overwhelmingly to start negotiations on a treaty to ban nuclear weapons, despite strong opposition from nuclear-armed nations and their allies in the vote in the un disarmament and international security committee on thursday, 123 nations were in favour of the resolution, 38.
Countries with nuclear weapons should publish more information about what they are doing to fulfill their disarmament commitments while most of these countries have revealed some details about their weapons programs, we still do not know how many nuclear weapons exist worldwide. Should all nuclear countries be disarmed will us ever disarm all their nuclear nuclear disarmament assume that all nations will abide by promises to disarm. These countries may be brutally oppressive for so long as these states feel insecure, they'll never give up their nuclear dreamsgiven this reality.
Why don't the us and other nuclear nations disarm too there is no way the us or any other nation would get rid of their nuclear weapons. International politics should nuclear countries disarm they have their own nuclear industry, and they build and operate their own reactors yeah. Watch video here are five times donald trump has talked about his stance on nuclear weapons countries might need to a develop nuclear their own nuclear. Because the united states and russia have committed to reduce their nuclear because "all countries should recognize international day of peace i.

Yesterday Brandon put up a post to explain his absence. I'm behind it; if you ever want to get paid for your writing, unless you're a freakishly well-known author, you can't publish that same material on a blog. No company will look at your stuff. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but these are the rare cases. These are the blogs that rake in the tens of thousands of views per post, if not more. Brandon wants to concentrate on material that he might possibly be paid for. Good! I've kept back some stories from the blog for the same reason. I'm going to keep publishing here as much as possible, but I'm more after writing for writing's sake. Our purposes are different.
Which gets me to the thing I disagree with. Brandon's a huge Jack Vance fan (and what red-blooded he-man isn't?). He posted:
To quote something I once heard Jack Vance say, "If a story is worth reading, it's worth getting paid for."
I have to disagree with this strongly. Now, to be clear, what I'm not saying:
- If an author asks for money and you're not willing to pay it, you shouldn't get to read the story. Stories are commodities and the seller sets the price. To read a story without the permission of the author is to steal.
- An author has a right to ask for payment for his stories.
- If you like a certain author, support them! That may be in money. If someone sent me a donation because they liked a story here, I wouldn't fight. There are other types of support, and as long as you're not stealing the story, these kinds of support can be greatly appreciated. For instance, I would love more comments on the fiction here. That's a great show of support I appreciate!
What I am saying:
- A story worth reading is not always worth monetary payment. For instance, if I make up a story to tell my children, I hope the story is worth reading for them. I don't expect any payment other than a "thank you. The greatest payment I could get would be my children asking to read the story with me over and over again.
- There are many, many great stories available for free. The authors are long dead and gone and their creations have become public domain. Hopefully they received their payments in full while they were alive; however, it's not my responsibility to pay for them. (Project Gutenberg, anyone?)
- There are other stories that are free that are worthwhile. For instance, many of my favorite webcomics are free. (I'll point you to Powernap, a great sci-fi story that's just really getting going.) Sometimes these artists are paid monetarily. Often they are not.
- Those great guys at Ray Gun Revival, assuming they haven't changed their business model, aren't paid to put up their stories. I got paid for my fiction there, but the owners of the site were completely self-funded. They didn't run ads! (I see that this has since changed. Alas, the ad-free days are gone!)
- How about all the good writing that gets done in creative writing classes? Sure, a lot of it is dreck. A lot of it is decent, and some of it just plain sings. Just because it's done in a class, does that mean it's not worth reading?
I guess I may be railing at something that's an assumption. I look at that quote from Vance, and I see him saying: "If you don't get a check, your writing isn't worth reading." And I disagree with that; I've now listed a plethora of authors that didn't get paid for their work (at the very least initially). Looking at the quote that way seems very jaded to me.
Basing the worthiness of a story on whether or not the author got paid? I guess there's no worthy starving artist in Vance's view. That's not only frustrating to me; it's insulting. I've been paid for my work a few times, and I can honestly say that the stories that were bought were of lower quality than ones that got rejected. If Vance is right, I'm viewing my stories wrong.
All right, I've ranted enough. Brandon, I'd love a rebuttal from you — and from anyone else! Am I going way too far with this? Am I shoving a tempest into a molehill? Turning a teapot into a mountain? Let me know!

I'm also not against any inquisitive new science discovery. I just want to say one thing.

Your sense of science and earth is really messed up! Just because you can't vacation' there you don't care if they destroy it?
Also, pumping oil out of the ground can't even begin to compare to finding a lake.... oil wells doesn't harbor possible life!

Priscu said Russian scientists on the scene e-mailed him last week to say they had stopped drilling about 40 feet from the expected waterline to measure the pressure levels deep below. Priscu said he expected that they were also sending down a special "hot water" drill to make the final push, but a message from the Russian team this week reported "no news."
Microbiologist John Priscu of Montana State University in Bozeman, who was one of the original planners of the Vostok mission, has been getting regular updates from the Russian team. As of 13 January, they had reached a depth of 3737.5 meters, about 15 meters away from liquid water. With three teams drilling around the clock and making progress at an average of 2 meters per day, Priscu says they're on track to break through within the week. "This is an epic event. I really wish them luck," he says. "I wish I was out there with them."

Something don't match!
edit on 5-2-2012 by Arken because: (no reason given)
The scientific community is holding its breath for a team of Russian scientists that has not made contact with colleagues in the U.S for seven days, as they drill into a lake buried beneath the Antarctic ice for 20 million years. The group has to evacuate its station by Tuesday - when winter kicks in and temperatures start to drop to an inhospitable minus 90C. There has been no contact with the explorers for seven days and they have under 48 hours to make an escape from the icy depths before temperatures fall to deadly levels. There are fears that while hunting for new life forms they have been lost in the unwelcoming terrain. Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk... i

Magnetic anomally would refer to something caused by ferrous deposits (Iron or steel) , structure, or artifact.
If Wiki is correct about Iron deposits, my hunch is right. In our experience, it probably doesnt belong there, thus the government interest.
Wiki: "Iron-rich sedimentary rocks have economic uses as iron ores. Iron deposits are located on all major continents with the exception of Antarctica".
Logic tells us it is not a alien space craft. It would not be built of heavy materials, if indeed there are such craft.
High levels of Oxygen would cause steel or iron to degrade rapidly, although Nitrogen may inhibit this action.
The Early Iron Age was around 1200 - 1000 BCE
The Iron Age II was around 1000 - 586 BCE Egypt: Beginning of iron production
Iron is a very common element and iron ores occur in the mountainous areas of the eastern desert and Sinai, though high grade ores are rare
In antiquity, casting was not achieved anywhere but in China. The required temperature of 1530°C was not reached in western Eurasia until the Middle Ages. All other metals used by the Egyptians either had a low melting point and/or could be worked cold.
According to the written records the first smelted iron reached Egypt from Tinay, an unknown country probably in western Asia.
This being the only mention of iron in 18th dynasty documents, one may assume that iron was still fairly rare in western Asia at the time. The papyrus Harris, a very extensive and detailed inventory of items donated to temples by Ramses III, mentions iron just once, in a listing of Nile god statues made of various metals: Iron, a statue of the Nile god, nusa.
What might that leave us with? Possibly something meteoric.
My First post on ATS. Greetings, my Friends!
That said, many of us which think there could be some sort of disclosure couldnt come at a better time for those wanting to come clean about what they know? This would be a fitting scenario in order to disclose.
The environment is remarkably similar to the dark and cold ocean below the surface of Jupiter's ice moon Europa, so the discovery of life in Vostok could have interesting extraterrestrial implications.
At present,(2007) a number of researchers are mulling over methods to investigate the lake's unique ecosystem without defiling its pristine nature. The introduction of any organisms or chemicals from the surface could irreversibly pollute its waters, and there is a small but real possibility that the lake's alien organisms could be dangerous to humans. To date, the best candidate seems to be the cryobot, a fittingly phallic penetrating probe designed to gingerly work its way into the virgin lake. Its heated tip would melt a channel straight into the ice as it unspools a power and communications line behind it. The melted water would quickly re-freeze behind the cryobot in temperatures which linger around minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and once it finally reached the water it would eject a small submersible hydrobot to capture images and take measurements.
Sound familiar rev?
Its heated tip would melt a channel straight into the ice as it unspools a power and communications line behind it. The melted water would quickly re-freeze behind the cryobot
Now considering the fact that the Russians, Americans, French and British are involved then who is/are the rivals and why would someone be classed as a rival considering rival means
Though most scientists are proceeding with considerable caution, and some advocate avoiding the lake altogether, there are reports that the Russian researchers intend to restart drilling in order to reach the lake before their rivals.
1. a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor. 2. a person or thing that is in a position to dispute another's preeminence or superiority: a stadium without a rival. 3. Obsolete . a companion in duty.
The Antarctic Treaty of 1961 guarantees all nations the right to conduct non-military scientific study on the continent, therefore little can be done to intervene if the men at Vostok station insist upon proceeding.
geologists speculate many of these are linked by a network of under-ice rivers, so contaminating just one lake might taint them all beyond repair.

How to Apply for a Learner's Permit in Texas
In order to receive a Driver's Permit, students must be at least 15 years old and must have begun or completed an online driver education course. With either our Parent-Taught Driver Education or Texas Online Drivers Ed courses, students will receive a certificate after completing the first course module that they can use to apply for their Texas Learner's Permit at the DPS.
Choose a TexasDrivingSchool.com Course:
- Those seeking a Texas Learner's Permit can choose between two courses: Texas Online Drivers Education or Parent-Taught Drivers Education. Learn more about which course is right for you.
- For both courses, once Module 1 is complete, students who are at least 15 years old may apply for their Texas Learner's Permit.
Apply for a Texas Learner's Permit
Once the above requirements have been met, students must make an appointment at their nearest Texas DPS to apply for a Texas Learner's Permit. A parent/legal guardian must be present at this appointing (regardless of which Driver Education course was selected). In order to complete the Texas Learner's Permit application, the student will need to pass an in-person knowledge test. That is, unless they've already completed TexasDrivingSchool.com's online Texas Learner's Permit Exam, which allows you to bypass taking the Texas Learner's Permit Exam in-person.
Required forms that must be brought to the DPS include:
- Proof of Identification
- Proof of Social Security Number
- Proof of US Citizenship
- Proof of Texas Residency
- A Verification of Enrollment and Attendance form to verify school enrollment (or a high school diploma or GED).
- Any forms included within the PTDE packet (for PTDE students only)
After the student has obtained a learner's permit, he or she can begin behind-the-wheel training. Once the course and behind-the-wheel training requirements are met, the student may apply for a Texas provisional driver's license.
If you have any questions while taking the course, we offer 24/7 customer support.

Lynda and Glenn are two super sweet people. They are a joy to be around and so relaxed that this session literally flew by. By the end of it, I as wondering "that's it?". I guess time really does fly when you are having fun!
Lynda brought her beautiful mother with her on the session and she seriously brought some comic relief. They reminded me a lot of my mom and myself. They banter with each other in such a playful way that is too good! You can tell so easily how much these two care and love each other. I can't wait to love my mom this well when we are older.
Just so you know.. these dogs names are Niles and W. Love it!
I am still booking mini-sessions for Christmas! Let me know if you are interested!!

Did You Know A Good Ten Year Old Birthday Gift?
Did you know a good ten year old birthday gift? When our son turned ten, ten years ago!, I wanted to do something to celebrate the turning of a new decade. We did a "top ten things" list for him. This year a little girl we have "adopted" at church turns ten. I wanted to do the top ten things again for her but wasn't sure how. What we've come up with is getting quotes from important people in her life-parents, siblings, extended family, best friend, school teacher-about their favorite thing about this girl. I have gathered the quotes and am now trying to figure out how to have them printed on to a poster. I have found some sources online and am trying to figure out how best to have this printed. I hope she treasures it for many more decades to come!

That's such a thoughtful thing to do!
I was so pleased when our 32 year old daughter gave us two 11 X 14 photo collages with pictures of things that have been important to her for many years. It is very touching!

A new server-side game rendering service called OTOY is showcasing a technology that's so flexible, it can even stream the latest 3D games to your mobile phone screen.
Server-side rendering is potentially the next big leap in gaming. Currently, to play the latest games at their highest settings, you often need a specially built beast of a computer that costs a fortune and has all the aesthetic appeal of granite block. OTOY, along with an growing number of rival startups, is pioneering a means of handing over the task of running those games to a powerful server and just streaming the images to you from the cloud.
The workload for your home computer is effectively removed, enabling you to run those hardware intensive games from a simple browser. In fact, the system OTOY has come up with is so efficient, it'll run on almost any device that has a web browser, including mobile phones.
But the controls for that video looked a hair off. Still is really cool tech. Having a mobile FPS on either a two thumb stick PSP, or a XBOX portable with two thumb sticks would be friggin awesome.
I have a PSP and any FPS I bought for it stinks with the clunky controls. Even after getting really familiar with the controls, it still sucked. Not to mention the graphics are not so hot.
So if this can stream Crysis, Halo, COD, Killzone, or whatever FPS that floats your boat in the same quality as a high end PC and portable, WIN!

Next Generation
Spin on Meditation Movement Suits Youth
A new-school movement spearheaded by a national SelfCentered Tour aims to inspire 1,000,000 young people to become more authentic, grounded, balanced and self-aware by spending time each day connecting with their inner selves. Max Simon, 22, of The Chopra Center for Wellbeing, created the experiential concept when he noticed that traditional teaching methods were failing to engage his generation. He's now training "awareness architects" across the country to guide youth in learning how to step away from endless mind-chatter, disconnect from pop-culture buzz, settle into an authentic inner calm and create a better world through service.
"Let's face it. We live in an intense world," Simon says. "Just because the whirlwind exists doesn't mean that we have to get caught up in it." His solution is a hands-on, do-it-yourself form of inner connectivity supported by events, entertainment and a web community. Tools include signature meditation, breathing styles and body-opening flow, which instill quiet while allowing chaos to exit. The tour launched in San Francisco last month will travel cross-country.

1 cup of CLEAR Elmer's glue
1 cup of liquid starch
food coloring
Put it all in a bowl and mix it up, a spoon will not work so roll up those sleeves and get messy!!
After you get it mixed up, drain all the excess liquid off of it then put the solid slime back into a clean bowl.
Have fun the more you play with it the better the consistency will get.
Weston was a little cautious.....
Keaton loved it!!
I put it in a Ziploc bag to play with later on, not sure how long it will keep but I'm thinking at least a couple of weeks:-)


text: Milo Applequest is a cute and composed platformer set in an attractive kingdom - Applekingdom. You play the role of a chirpy racoon who must collect a lot (and I mean a lot) of apples from the kidnapping hands of the Evil Spirit of Forests. There are over thirty levels embracing this polished experience, of which there are four types – variety sure is nice. These visually lush stages are all accessible from a nicely designed 'hub' where you can enter each level after collecting certain amounts of gold apples; these serve as the main game objective. The gameplay feels quite slow but measured, with well thought out level design offering an enjoyable overall feel, although this game is not for action-only enthusiasts. The graphics are perhaps the finest aspect, although the creator has openly admitted that he didn't make them – a shame, indeed. I'm not much for the repetitive use of the main typeface, but it does match the feel nicely. The music and sound effects are also very fitting for the style of the game. If you're a fan of platformers, typically from Nintendo, you'll probably enjoy this.

Did you watch Star Trek when you were a kid? Did it have significance for you? It did for me. Curiously enough it was kind of an antidote for the Flintstones in more ways than being at the opposite end of the timeline.
In 1969 I was seven - in Miss May's class at Mt Eden Normal Primary School. I remember ordering my first Scholastic book (remember ordering books from a catalog then they would arrive at school and be distributed to everyone like it was Christmas and the teacher was Santa Claus?) - it was about travelling to the moon. Why the travellers were portrayed as children I don't know. Maybe they embodied the spirit of the era - everything was possible with the addition of some science, technology and imagination.
Star Trek was important because it promised to tell stories of where no (man) has gone before. There may well have been all sorts of sub-texts that grown ups got but I just like the space monsters, Spock's ears and the idea of setting one's 'phaser to stun'. I used to like the end credits because (if I remember right) there was a montage of some of the juicier aliens which always seemed more believable to me than Dr Who whose el cheapo Daleks - though I confess the Cybermen scared the snot out of me.
Though I'm not a Star Trek aficionado - I think I saw one of the big screen movies but the moment had passed - I enjoy watching William Shatner play Denny Crane in Boston Legal. Shatner obviously has no issues with self parody. That should be instructional for us all.
If you like Star Trek or illustration/art/design check out this exhibition of works inspired by William Shatner - a tribute show. Some funky stuff - some of which can be purchased at quite moderate prices.
Beam me up Scotty


text: Immediate Medium presents The Assassins Chase Pinocchio, a multimedia "Pinocchio" for all ages, conceived by Max Dana. This experimental multimedia adaptation of Carlo Collodi's original 1883 coming-of-age tale, The Adventures of Pinocchio, features a 20-foot shark's mouth created using only a video camera and a zipper, an anarchic children's dance party on the Island of Crazy Sweet Candy Chaos, and a psychedelic soundtrack by indie rockers Alex Bleeker of Real Estate (Best Albums of October 2011, BBC Music) and G. Lucas Crane of Woods (Best New Music, Pitchfork). The show uses a playful mix of physical comedy and experimental theater techniques to introduce Immediate Medium's interdisciplinary aesthetic to a new, yet very avant-garde audience: children. Appropriate for children ages 4, 24, 34 and 104. (And those in between.)

Baconated Waffles
MMMM, Bacon. The mere wiff of its smoky aroma sends my tastebuds into a frenzy. Like a crack addict looking for his fix, I've gotta have this staple at least once a week. Last night I had baconated waffles. I'm certain that by eating this, my doctor is going to want to put me on Lipitor or Crestor or one of the or's. Oh well, in the meantime, I'm gonna enjoy my conspicuous consumption. It's another one of those things that might lead to culinary infarction.
Wirecutter, this one's for you.

A tube of lipstick, a pair of glasses and a popcorn ball were all that remained at Democrats' Metro Council seats Wednesday night after the group stormed out of the council meeting and forged the latest chapter in partisan and racial arguments among council members.
The dramatics came after an hour-and-a-half of debate over the embattled East Baton Rouge Council on Aging. While voters in November 2016 approved a dedicated property tax for the agency, the Metro Council was expected to vote Wednesday on levying the tax and on the agreement between the city-parish and the nonprofit agency to govern the tax.
Can't see the video below? Click here.
Some council members were skeptical about proceeding with either measure before the Louisiana Legislative Auditor publicly releases an investigation focused on the Council on Aging's campaign tactics. The agency's quest for a property tax to more than double its annual budget raised both legal and ethical questions.
On Wednesday evening, most Republicans on the Metro Council indicated they wanted a 30-day delay to let the audit become public before giving a green light to the tax agreements. Republicans said they were not trying to prevent the tax from being collected, but they wanted to first ensure the agency had responsible spending plans, corrective actions and taxpayer protections.
Their delay would not have pushed back the timeline already in place for the Council on Aging to start receiving the tax revenue in 2018. The Council on Aging would not lose any money or revenue in the interim.
But dozens of Council on Aging clients and staffers packed into the council chambers and questioned whether the Metro Council members were unwilling to follow the will of the voters. Some spoke of the care and services they receive through the Council on Aging and said they want the nonprofit to receive more money to help more seniors.
"These seniors really need them, just like I need them," said Frances Johnson, who described sharing her story of surviving breast cancer. "That's my family, they're like my extended family."
Despite most Metro Council members trying to distance the debate away from Council on Aging Executive Director Tasha Clark Amar, the fierce controversy surrounding her loomed over the debate. Amar has spent the past few weeks in a public back-and-forth with the family of the late Helen Plummer who alleges Amar unduly influenced their elderly grandmother into leaving Amar in charge of her estate.
Plummer died in early March, and her will specified that Amar was to receive $500 a month for the next 20 years to oversee a trust for Plummer's great-grandchildren and grandniece. Amar denied any wrongdoing but also asked to withdraw from overseeing the estate and the trust after the story gained media attention; a judge granted the request last week.
State District Judge Donald Johnson removed Council on Aging Executive Director Tasha Clark-…
At Wednesday's meeting, audience members rushed to Amar's defense and complimented her management of the agency. They asked Metro Council members not to let the stories about Amar affect their judgment on the tax.
"I don't believe there's any question about the value of the services," said Metro Councilwoman Barbara Freiberg, who is a Republican. "I believe the staff works very, very hard, and tirelessly. I don't think you heard me say one time this is about the director. … I am concerned about the audit and the action plan that comes from the audit."
Helen Plummer's family called Tuesday for "an overhaul, not oversight" of the East Baton Rou…
The Democrats and one Republican, Trae Welch, were sympathetic to the philosophy of immediately needing to follow through on the will of the voters. They said they wanted to vote Wednesday to approve the tax agreements.
Metro Councilwoman Chauna Banks called Amar to the podium, and held a spiritual pep rally for her as she recited Bible verses while many in the crowd murmured in agreement.
"It is well," Banks recited. "I want you to know it is well. Not because you're perfect, nobody is perfect. But because God knew when he chose you that you would make errors in this process, like we all do. But that's why he went to the cross…."
Mayor Pro Tem Scott Wilson then asked Banks to stay on topic, and she implored Amar to keep serving seniors.
The Metro Council agreed earlier in the meeting to delay for 30 days the city-parish's cooperative endeavor agreement to govern the tax. But Democrats said they could not understand the benefit of waiting another 30 days to agree to levy the tax.
"What is 30 days going to do?" asked Councilwoman Donna Collins-Lewis, a Democrat. "What is 'taxpayer protection?'"
The vote then failed to reach the necessary 7 votes needed on the motion to levy the tax. Collins-Lewis, Banks, Erika Green, LaMont Cole and Trae Welch voted in favor. Freiberg, Wilson, Buddy Amoroso, Matt Watson and Dwight Hudson voted against it. Tara Wicker and Chandler Loupe were absent.
As Wilson tried to call for a vote on deferring the tax levy for 30 days, the Council on Aging supporters surged out of the meeting. The Democrats on the council picked up their purses and folders and followed them, leaving the meeting without the necessary seven council members to conduct business.
"It is extremely unfortunate we were placed in a position to not continue the business of City Parish Government," wrote Green, Banks, Cole and Collins-Lewis in a statement sent late Wednesday night. None of them returned phone calls after the meeting. "The integrity of the will of the people was being challenged by an attempt to prevent a millage from going forward as approved by YOU, the voters in November of 2016. We could no longer sit and allow democracy to be compromised under our watch, on this day. We will continue to stand with the people, protect the democratic process and support a free and fair election."
The Democrats' walkout pushes back the tax's timeline by at least 60 days. The tax now must go through a second cycle of being advertised and announced before the Metro Council can vote on it again. Wilson called it sad, saying the walkout also affected other Metro Council agenda items. One of those was $1.3 million to renovate a property for the Council on Aging.

FSU's Ricky Aguayo Told Police He Was 'Jumped' for Poor Play in '16 Florida GameNovember 28, 2017
In a police report made public Tuesday, Florida State Seminoles kicker Ricky Aguayo said he was attacked by members of an FSU fraternity last year following a poor performance against the Florida Gators.
According to Karl Etters of the Tallahassee Democrat, an investigation into the Nov. 3 death of a Pi Kappa Phi fraternity member led to about two dozen police reports related to the fraternity being obtained in a public records request.
Aguayo missed two of his three field-goal attempts in a 31-13 win over Florida last season, and he said he "was rushed by several of the members of the fraternity ... and was punched in the face," while walking past the fraternity house last year.
Aguayo told the Tallahassee Police Department that the incident occurred at about 3 a.m. on Dec. 2, 2016, when members of the fraternity outside the house began mocking his performance.
Per Etters, "Police noted blood on Aguayo's face and shirt, which had been ripped, and swelling consistent with being punched."
Aguayo refused medical attention and declined to press charges. He was 19 at the time and had been drinking prior to the incident, per the police report.
The Mascotte, Florida, native is in the midst of his sophomore season at FSU, and has converted 15 of his 18 field-goal attempts, as well as all 33 of his extra-point attempts.
Aguayo is the younger brother of former Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo, who was selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before getting released. He is currently part of the Carolina Panthers' practice squad.
Ricky was named an All-ACC honorable mention this season.

So we had a busy night, Tylers 1st grade program was at 6:00 and Tailey's pre-school program was at 7:00. They both did great. The first 1/2 of the program Tyler was a frowny face and didnt sing...but when he finally saw us in the crowd, he sang so loud and smiled like there was no tomorrow...it was funny slash sad that he thought we werent there. I informed him that I would always come to his stuff unless I'm dead, and even then I'll be watching from heaven so he better smile:) Tailey did great she was so cute and sang and danced when she was supposed to. She was also fun to watch. Brenen was a little poop at both programs. Grandpa riled him up so he was a little wild thing. He kept laughing and screaming...fun, fun.

Fun in the Snow!!
So this was the first time this year the kids have got to play in the snow. As you can see we need to go shopping for snow clothes.....Tyler had to wear my pants and boots.....Tailey had to wear Tylers old snow pants... and Brenen had to wear Taileys old pink pants and pink boots.... So last year was great cause all of the snow clothes fit them just fine but apparently this year they all have grown:) The way the weather has been I might make them just deal with it and next year buy new stuff:)
We also had a wonderful Christmas...We are so blessed and I am so grateful that I have my little family! I couldnt imagine my life with out them!
So Very Blessed!
I cant believe its over!!
Merry Christmas!!
Tailey is getting so big, she loves to watch the Wizard of Oz! She is doing that right now and will scream "The witch momma the witch!" Every time the witch comes on the tv. It is pretty funny.
Clifton signed a contract with the Ogden Knights again. So he is excited to play again. And me and the baby are fine. The doctor said for sure he would take me a week early at least cause he is so big already...So have anywhere from 7 to 9 weeks left!!!Yeah!!!
Busy, Busy..
Anyways I cant believe how many people were there! Also how many people that were there, were completely insane! It was entertaining just watching them. One man wore camo overalls and no shirt with stickers on his nipples. Another at least 60 year old woman was in a bikini walking around! I saw a lot of other things but I am definately not writing them down. It would make my blog R rated...
Our hotel was nice and the pool was fun. Plus we got to go shopping and that is always fun!
Ogden Knights
We had so much fun! Tailey even loved it. She kept growling and jumping towards the animals. It was really cute.

Like it or not, taming over 200 horses requires a sophisticated level of electronics. During a race the riders are also on-board technicians tasked with making sure the bike makes it to the end while still going as quickly as possible. To help do this, they can press certain buttons to either modify power delivery, traction control, and other parameters. Note the red dial above the buttons on the left bar (click here for a closer look), used to adjust the brake lever position throughout a race.

In PlayStation 4?s recent software update, new Health and Safety disclaimers now include a message regarding Sony?s upcoming PS4-based VR system PlayStation VR (PSVR), particularly that it is not to be used by anyone under the age of 12 years.
As reported by Eurogamer, the guidelines advise gamers on how PSVR is to be used.
?The VR headset is not to be used by children under 12 years of age. Check what is around and remove barriers before use. Take measures to prevent pets, children or other obstacles from getting into the area before use,? it stipulated.
?Some people may experience motion sickness, nausea, disorientation, blurred vision or other discomfort while viewing the contents of the virtual reality. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop use immediately and remove the VR headset.?
Although virtual reality has been maturing and evolving at a remarkable rate, it is still in its early stages. As such, not much is known about its use and effects on the physiology, even psychology, of a person. It stands to reason that virtual reality may not be for everyone.
Why the cut off age of 12 years has been chosen by Sony is yet unknown. Perhaps it may be because of the design of the headset, that it may simply not fit a child?s head. Although there are many factors to consider in giving children VR experiences, both in terms of health and safety as well as suitability of content that is greatly enhanced by the medium.
Interestingly, other VR headset makers, such as HTC and Oculus, have failed to mention any adverse effects for children. However, they admit that prolonged use can definitely strain the eyes and make them tired, but they are yet to announce a clear warning or age limit.
The PSVR was codenamed ?Project Morpheus? and will be out later this year. The PSVR has yet to receive a specific release date or price. It is hoped though that Sony?s headset will be more affordable than its rival products.

ESPN.com - Gundy fielding best defense in 2012?
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy knows it's a year of transition for his offense in 2012, but he hasn't been shy about setting the expectations high for the Cowboys' other unit.
I remember sitting down with Gundy for awhile after the Bedlam win against Oklahoma, and he mentioned something to the effect of, "We've got some athletes around here now that we haven't had at Oklahoma State in a long time -- maybe ever."
For the defense, that could pay off this season while the offense finds its stride.

Increasing emotional and mental awareness
- Close your eyes and take a deep breath, releasing it slowly (do this again if needed). Pick one phrase from the choices below. Focus on that phrase in your mind and continue breathing for several minutes. Feel free to modify the phrase to something that works for you. The goal of this is to establish an initial connection to the wellspring in you. Take note of what you feel afterwards. Repeat once a day, finding a spot or space that gives you a sense of comfort.
- I am well
- I connect to my wellness
- I connect to the source of my wellness
- Now, a different exercise. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. This exercise asks you to meditate on a word and asks your awareness to locate where you feel that word in your body. Ask your body gently to guide you as you locate the holding of this in your body (ask it where). Keep breathing as it may take a few times before the awareness emerges. Once you have located the connection your body has to the word, simply thank your body and its guidance for the experience and close it up.
- Comfort
- Laughter
- Safety
- Peace
- Play
- If you feel you can trust your experience, and act as a gentle observer, then play with the following words. Again once you have located the connection in your body, send peace and love to that spot and thank your body for showing it to you!:
- Fear
- Anxiety
- Despair
- Love
Try Byron Katie's The Work, to understand the stories you may carry in your brain versus what might be true for you in your heart. For example, ask the four questions on the thought "I am over-weight"; "I am heavy;" or "I hate when I (fill in for yourself).
