Newsletter Updates for February 2015
Not so much travel recently – Austin was my only trip this quarter so far. We've been heads-down reworking instructional materials to highlight what you can do with cloud-based notebooks. To learn more about that, check out the new Databricks newsletter.
|Snow near Cold Springs, California
Meanwhile, my family gets to enjoy some time this weekend in a cabin near Yosemite, during an increasingly rare event here: lots of snow! Recommend: we always try to drop by our favorite mile-high restaurant, Mia's, for excellent Italian cooking in the mountains and even homemade limoncello.
Of course, one of the other big reasons for keeping close to home lately was our biggest event of the year, Strata + Hadoop World in San Jose. Here's a link for the published speaker slides and videos, along with an excellent summary of the Hardcore Data Science day by Ben Lorica.
About 325 people attended our Spark Camp tutorial. Oddly enough, that's the same ratio of total conference attendees that we had at Spark Camp in NYC last fall. I also got to host the new Spark in Action track. One eye-opener in our track was the Tencent talk, where LianHui Wang presented about their experiences running an 8000 node Spark cluster in production. So much for FUD claims that Spark doesn't scale ;) When asked how Tencent can build substantially larger clusters than what YHOO has reported, LianHui replied wryly, "They do not speak Chinese."

One of the other Strata talks that I really wanted to catch: Tensor Methods for Large-scale Unsupervised Learning: Applications to Topic and Community Modeling by Animashree Anandkumar @UC Irvine. For more details, check out her video.
In particular note the experimental results at the 42:46 mark, along with slides for a related talk. There is even more background in the recent papers: Guaranteed Non-Orthogonal Tensor Decomposition via Alternating Rank–1 Updates; and Tensor decompositions for learning latent variable models.
The gist of this effort is about using graph moments, assuming priors which then help make tensor decomposition tractable. This material will flex your advanced math agility as it flies through linear algebra, graph theory, statistics, and optimization for some startling implications. While the immediate research is about latent variables for community detection (think: Facebook) these techniques have implications on a much broader range of industry optimization problems. Note that the outcomes are in contrast to work by Jure Leskovec, et al., @Stanford. Another excellent Spark-related talk at Strata that referenced work with tensors was Hadoop as a Platform for Genomics by Allen Day @MapR .
Looking Ahead
Why tensors? Recall from 18 months ago, "I give Hadoop three years before it gets displaced." At the time that prediction drew some flack. Now that we're halfway to the predicted time, note that during the past three Strata + Hadoop World conferences there have been numerous remarks to rename it Strata + Spark World. However, the general insight drives a bit deeper…
My question here is, "What is the business case for developing custom apps atop a Hadoop platform?" When I examine industry use cases for Big Data frameworks, there are a few general categories:
- data warehouse replacements
- data exploration and reporting
- analytics in depth, leading toward streaming
The first category is relatively well-understood, leading toward general purpose solutions. On the start-up side of the spectrum there are great solutions emerging such as ETLeap, Alation, and arguably examples such as Epic in medical data exchange. On the established side of Enterprise IT, incumbents such as Informatica have been aggressively partnering and expanding the scope of their integration. That begs the question of whether firms would continue to build rather than buy?
The second and third categories are the devil-you-know, as continuations of DW and BI respectively. SiliconAngle had a good article recently along these lines, The cheat sheet to following Big Data's money trail by Suzanne Kattau.
My hunch is that in terms of the second category, Cloudera, Hortonworks, etc., will be forced to pivot toward vertical applications sooner than later to sustain their growth, and will likely buy up smaller analytics vendors along the way. That puts them on a collision course with incumbents Oracle, IBM, Teradata, SAS, etc., where both ends of the spectrum race toward resembling each other. In other words, the DW king is dead, long live the DW king. Expect either some contractions or M&A activity as a result. Not much news there.
The third category, effectively a BI displacement, gets a bit more interesting. I gave a keynote talk at Data Day Texas in Austin in January, A New Year in Data Science: ML Unpaused. The gist is that two aspects of the BI displacement – effectively, the dev-centric software engineering (aka "data engineering") approach and the statistics detour of the past two centuries – are losing steam and lacked sufficient depth to begin with. Machine learning in the 1980s meant something much broader than what gets represented by the current crop of analytics vendors; check out my preso for more details. To cut to the chase, also check an excellent talk The Thorn in the Side of Big Data: too few artists by Christopher Ré @Stanford. See a related article I'll Be Back: The Return of Artificial Intelligence by Jack Clark @BloombergBusiness.
Stanford Y2E2 at sunset
I have a hunch that cloud-based notebooks will eat the lunch of oh-so-many dev-centric approaches and second-generation BI tools. That strips away from the intrinsic value of Hortonworks, Cloudera, etc. Meanwhile it pushes value toward those firms which are closest to domain experts, with key examples such as Enlitic, Idibon, Oculus Info, Spaceknow, etc.
The fourth category has a large market in industry in general. In my opinion, going forward its upside will be realized less so among the "data-centric" usual suspects of ad tech, fin tech, e-commerce, social networks, security… rather more so within the more traditional sectors of energy, transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, etc. Sensor data is a major driver, whether we are talking about embedded sensors or layers of remote sensing or for that matter the volumes of data in genomics work. These use cases tend toward streaming. Fine-grained resource management in clusters is core to this: not so much due to the data rates as it is due to needs for elastic computing capacity and service architectures – in other words, latency and robustness become key. Streaming applications have lots of moving parts and represent a hard problem in computer science in general. On the one hand, the organizational costs of using a YARN cluster to address those kinds of needs proves to be rather upside down, while on the other hand we see a rise in Mesos deployments, e.g., Virdata, Atigeo, Stratio, etc.
My hunch is that the emerging stack for sophisticated analytics and optimization needs will look significantly less like Cloudera or Hortonworks, and more like a integration of...
Typesafe is another vendor that is clearly addressing this demand. However, that speaks to the infrastructure not the science, and this is where the focus on tensors comes back into the picture…
Within the 2–3 year horizon, I expect to see reasonably good open source projects for cost-effective and scalable methods for low-rank tensor factorization. It's likely this will involve some probabilistic techniques and lead toward online algorithms, i.e., for streaming. So far there haven't been good off-the-shelf solutions for tensor factorization. However, a general case approach that could scale-out on commodity hardware would be a significant game-changer, with the potential to sublate a wide range of contemporary work in algorithms.
Within a similar timeline, I expect to see relatively dramatic improvements in networking technology, i.e., within the datacenter. Taken together those two events would signal the availability of relatively more general purpose solutions in contrast to the many one-offs in analytics that are currently bread-and-butter for Hadoop app developers. It could also erode the valuation for the many machine learning library vendors. Consequently, I'm watching this area closely as the sea change evolves.
My prediction about Hadoop was on target, so let's see how this new prediction unfolds.
We've had the Apache Spark developer certificate available online for several weeks now. Congrads to the recipient of certificate number 1.1.0 - 0001, François Garrilot @Typesafe. While I cannot release exact numbers, the success rate for people taking the exam is in the mid 90's percent. It pays to have hands-on experience developing Spark apps, and this talk provides some great test prep examples. We'll work toward certifications that are more specialized toward systems engineering and data science.
First Spark certificate goes to François Garrilot!
Recently, Reynold Xin presented about the new DataFrames support in Spark, bringing parity with similar abstractions in Python and R. This capability will be introduced but disabled by default in Spark 1.3, but will become center-stage in later releases. In terms of workflows, it represents a higher-level abstraction than RDDs; however, there are still RDDs underneath and many applications will continue to focus at that layer. Meanwhile, Matei's thesis has been translated into Chinese. Hopefully that represents the beginning of trend.
Also check out the events worldwide listings and archived talks on the YouTube channel for Apache Spark.
So much effort these days seems to be spent on achieving #Inbox40 … I have a hunch that use of email for business must be rethought. Soon. And perhaps abandoned? I am not convinced that productivity tools such Yammer, Asana, Slack, etc., provide any long-term solutions, since they still tend to focus people too much on screens and keyboards.
Pescadero Beach, office for an afternoon on the way from our company retreat
FWIW, among my daughters' peer group, they are way more Internet-savvy than #millenials and have already dumped email as #deadmedia … They use Instagram, Minecraft, and Skype as collaboration tools – each of which is at least partly owned by MSFT, for those who are keeping track. However, they concede that they'd likely use Twitter for business if they needed it. Consequently, I greatly appreciate when people use my public timeline on Twitter to communicate. At this point, I delete most private messages aside from Gmail: Twitter DMs, LinkedIn mail, etc., and Gmail messages are N-deep before they will get read.
Just Enough Math
Apparently the Foobartendr drink-by-drone-delivery service in Just Enough Math wasn't so cray-cray after all ;) Recently the Washington Post reported about a restaurant delivering drinks via drones indoors.
Another interesting bit of tech news is in Quantum Information Processing: Are We There Yet? by Daniel Lidar @USC: niobium processors, Chimera graphs, and much more fun. To wit, this video discusses how to solve Ising Hamiltonians with quantum annealing, i.e., for complex graph problems. Gosh, wonder if that could be handy for tensor factorization? Check around the 36:48 mark, where Prof. Lidar discusses how ground state success probability distributions for DWave are inconsistent with thermal annealer (classical / unimodal) results, but consistent with simulated quantum annealer (bimodal). As far as I can follow the discussion, this rules out classical models, but is not definitive proof yet. Also, how well will it scale?
Upcoming Events
Many interesting conferences and other events are planned for the months ahead… Please check the http://goo.gl/2YqJZK listings. In particular, mark your calendars for:

Just under the wire: for what it's worth, I barely squeaked into the Top 30 People in Big Data and Analytics and also recently joined the academic advisory board for the GalvanizeU graduate program in data science. Grateful for both of those.
Whenever I go to write a newsletter, I'm concerned that there won't be enough content collected yet. Invariably, there are too many links to share. Here are some that caught my attention recently…
The Africa soil map shows the changing nature of soil across the continent. as "an essential reference to a non-renewable resource that is fundamental for life on this planet." A vital lesson to all, for there are no jobs on a dead planet. Establishing a bar here, I wish we had comparable analysis for North America.
Perhaps one of the more jaw-dropping research results recently: photonic radiative cooling by Shanhui Fan, et al., @Stanford. More than simply an enormous increase in the capability for buildings to reflect sunlight efficiently, this provides a way to beam internal heat out into space without warming the atmosphere: "What we've done is to create a way that should allow us to use the coldness of the universe as a heat sink during the day."
Another interesting development is the US Digital Service: "The United States Digital Service is transforming how the federal government works for the American people. And we need you." That emerges along with DJ Patil becoming US Chief Data Scientist.
Following that, I'll leave you with something fun and something epic. First, a limerick detector, based on the GitHub repo Nantucket. Second, words of wisdom from Vint Cerf: Forgotten Century.
That's the update for now. See you in NYC, Boulder, São Paulo, Boston, London, A Coruña, and Chicago on the event horizon!

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- The Westchester Board of Legislators fell one vote short of passing the Immigrant Protection Act.
The legislators failed to override County Executive Rob Astorino's veto, voting 11-6 in favor. Twelve votes were needed to override Astorino's veto.
All nine Democrats voted to override the veto, along with Republicans James Maisano and David Gelfarb. Legislators John Testa, Francis Corcoran, Margaret Cunzio, Gordon Burrows, Sheila Marcotte and David Tubiolo voted against the override.
The bill prevented Westchester County from using its resources to assist federal investigations that are based on race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or national origin. It also prohibited county departments and officers from sharing confidential information with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) unless ICE demonstrates probable cause.
Astorino had vetoed the bill saying it endangers public safety, violates federal law, infringes upon long-established principles of law enforcement cooperation and jeopardizes millions in federal public safety grants.
Last week, Astorino issued an executive order that says county law enforcement will continue to cooperate with federal authorities in investigating and apprehending immigrants involved in criminal activity but will be prohibited from asking about their legal status unless required by law.
In a statement, the Democratic Caucus said they were disappointed the veto override failed.
"The Immigrant Protection Act is a public safety bill, crafted with the help of law enforcement officers and immigration lawyers, which aims to protect all residents of Westchester," the caucus said. "Studies from all over the country show that our immigrant neighbors are less likely to assist local police departments when they feel that is may result in immigration consequences. Upholding the veto makes none of us safer."
Following the veto override, Astorino said he was pleased common sense prevailed.
"Westchester will always value and support its immigrant community," Astorino said. However, the proposed legislation was irresponsible, as reflected by the overwhelming opposition from Westchester's law enforcement community as well as the Legal Aid Society."

frankie magazine is an excellent piece of media. I heart it very much. So when I saw they were having another frankie and friends garage sale, I knew I'd need to get there. I had one particular task in mind that I needed to achieve. I cannot tell you the specifics of my mission, as it forms part of a surprise for a friend, but rest assured I did achieve it and it was most sincerely awesome. (What a task tease I am).
When I arrived I had butterflies, I was that excited. I walked briskly down the street, not really sure what I was looking for but figuring I would know it when I saw it. And indeed I did. I saw small groups of people milling about, and, as I got closer, tables piled high with what can only be described as treasure and also magic. I made a beeline for a table with books (duh) and promptly started hyperventilating. There were too many good things and not enough eyes to look at them all! What if I missed something spectacular?? What then?? You'll be glad to know I calmed my farm and soon started accruing many bargains.
And they weren't even the best thing that happened! I saw Pip Lincolne of Meet Me At Mike's sitting on a little brick wall under the shade. I decided to go over and say hello. Pip patted the bricks next to her and we sat in the shade and chatted about various things from cameras to ethical clothing. This was lovely for obvious reasons (i.e. QUEEN PIP) but also because it was really stinkin' hot and I needed to sit down and regroup from all the awesome vintageness. So that was nice.
Do you enjoy garage sales? What bargains have you scored? I would highly, highly recommend the frankie and friends garage sale if you are around for their next one. This was the first I'd managed to get to and will definitely be back.

A Cubano is usually made up of a couple of slices of pork loin, some ham, cheese, and pickles with mustard on a fresh white bun. Yah - it's tasty, but given its All-Star ingredients (two types of pork man!) I always felt it under-performed a bit. With one pork loin leftover from my experiment a few weeks back sitting in the freezer I figured I'd use it as the base for my own spin on the Cubano classic.
Instead of ham I substituted pancetta, which I cooked up in a grill pan:
Stepping in for the pickle slices was some raddichio, which I grilled as well to take away some of its bitterness.
Next I whipped up a quick garlic mayo and slapped it all together in a fresh whole-wheat bun. Add a salad (my wife's idea) and a rhubarb soda (my wife's good idea) and there you have it: the Uptown Cubano:
Oops -- forgot the token pickles on the side. Let's try that again....
I demand my close-up!:
Humility aside (y'know, because I'm known far and wide for being humble) this is a really, really good sandwich: it's succulent, salty, sweet, garlicky --- and I even forgot to add the avocado which my wife insists would have made this nosh a true All-Star. The Steve Nash of sammys!
Here's the recipe:
Uptown Cubano Sandwich
One crusty soft white(ish) bun
Three slices of smoked pork tenderloin (recipe here)
Two slices of crispy pancetta
Sliced radicchio
One ripe avocado
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1- 2 Garlic cloves (to taste)
1) Make garlic mayo: chop garlic very fine and mix with about 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Let site for 15 min.
2) Grill pancetta on a grill pan or BBQ; set aside.
3) Slice Radicchio (including core) into 1/2 inch slices. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
4) Grill on a grill pan or BBQ until soft and showing grill marks.
5) Slice avocado.
6) Sandwich assembly:
Slice the buns, spread on garlic mayo to taste, add pork, pancetta, radicchio and avocado.
Serve with a pickle on the side, and a lightly dressed green salad.

The Pebble Watch has been vastly improved with the addition of the Pebble app store.
One of the few Kickstarter funded smartwatch concepts that actually made it to fruition, Pebble Watch is an innovative solution to running apps from your wrist. Newly added functions and a dedicated Pebble app store has now made the original design even better. If you are thinking about the all inclusive wearable gear that does not rely on your mobile phone, then the Pebble Watch is worth thinking about.
You may also like
How does the Pebble Watch look?
Appearance is the one thing lacking with the Pebble Watch. It is a simple plastic unit with rubber band that stands out as a wearable tech device at first glance. It has a small 1.26 display that uses 144 x 168 pixel resolution, but be wary as it is not scratch resistant as Pebble claims.
Images and text appear in black and white with a highly reflective back. This makes them stand out better even in daylight. Turning on the LED backlight for a better view is as simple as a press on the button on the left-hand side, or a flick of your wrist.
There is no touch screen control with Pebble Watch, but there are four different buttons to help control the various functions. You can use these to scroll the menus, select your options and go back to a previous screen. This is similar to the way you would navigate through a mobile phone that does not have a touch screen.
You have a choice of five colors with the Pebble Watch, gray, black, white, orange or red, but the black looks the least like tech wear when on the wrist. The rubber band feels comfortable when worn to the point that you will forget that it is there.
How the Pebble Watch works as a smartwatch
The Pebble Watch works with a three-axis accelerometer, a magnetometer and an ambient light sensor. There is also a Cortex-M3 ARM processor and internal storage for any apps you choose to download. This memory is able to hold up to eight different apps and watch faces. The new version of Pebble app combined with new firmware and software allows for better use of the various features of the Pebble Watch.
How does Pebble apps work?
Both iPhone and Android have the redesigned Pebble app. This gives you the access you need to the Pebble app store. Once you create your account the apps you want get downloaded to the Pebble app and then installed onto your smartwatch. This is similar to the Kindle app, where the main app is storage for the apps you want until they are loaded onto the device.
Due to the small storage place, this method works at keeping your desired apps handy without crashing the operating system. Pebble has made it easy to remove and apps using Bluetooth so in theory you can have access to dozens of apps as long as you don't mind waiting a few minutes to change them out.
The Pebble app store is always a work in progress, with additions being made continually. For now you are going to find ways to turn your smartwatch into a TV remote or thermostat. There are also a small variety of fitness apps and an ESPN based app for checking sports scores. Most of these apps are free additions for your watch. Not too many of the more popular apps like Whatsapp, but that could change as more people choose Pebble's smartwatch over others.
If you are thinking about the Pebble Watch for wearable gear, you should note that it is compatible with the iPhone 4 or higher, using iOS 6 or 7. This could be problematic for those who have already upgraded to iOS 8. Android is also supported from OS 4.1 and higher.
At only $150 AUD, the Pebble Watch is worth looking into if you don't mind the simple design and lack of apps. There are new smartwatches entering the market at a rapid pace right now, and you might want to wait to see what comes out next before making any final choices.

Someone's yanking on a bad weave, it must be Thursday. On MTV's "Jersey Shore," the more things change, the more they stay the same.
When last we left our fine Italian friends, Jenni "JWoww" Farley had gotten into a bar fight with a heckler, and Ronnie Magro was angry at Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino for standing by while Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi got punched (and for trying to score with a blonde in the aftermath).
This week, Snooki takes another wallop while The Situation ineffectually tries to contain the, uh, situation, and Ronnie tangles with the self-appointed chairman of the Guido Deportation Commission, Seaside Heights Division (and later gets arrested for aggravated assault, thought that is not shown on the episode). I spoke with an Ocean County prosecutor yesterday to get the lowdown on the charges pending against Ronnie, and right after I hung up the phone, I thought to myself, "You know, I really should call her back and ask if there were any other arrests associated with the filming of "Jersey Shore." Perhaps if I had, I would have gotten the lowdown on Snooki Smackdown Part Deux.
Here's what happened: A couple of episodes ago, The Situation and wingman Pauly Delvecchio were entertaining two ladies at the house; The Situation was making progress with a brunette named Alex, while Pauly D merely tried to keep her blonde friend placated. Didn't work. The never-named blonde barged in on The Situation and Alex in his bedroom and convinced Alex to leave. This week, The Situation runs into Alex again and invites her back to the house. She shows up with the blonde and a bigger blonde. The Situation does what any strapping young man would do -- he asks the 4'10" girl to ask them to leave. Snooki firmly but not overly rudely tells the two blondes to scram. Alex leaves with them, and one of them mutters something nasty to Snooki on their way out. Snooki barges after them, demanding to be insulted to her face. (Personally, I've never understood that impulse. I'd much rather be insulted behind my back.)
The Situation and Pauly D try to wrestle the two blondes away, but the original blonde throws her drink at Snooki, who retuns the favor with her soda can. One of Snooki's gentlemen callers tries to contain Snooki, but she escapes and charges the bigger blonde, who pushes her back. Pauly D tries again to separate them, but the bigger blonde goes after Snooki again and gets in a couple more whacks. (Later, Pauly D observes, "Someone's got to teach [Snooki] how to fight. Or duck.")
At this point, Ronnie turns up and takes over: He grabs the bigger blonde in a headlock and hustles her away with one arm (her blue tank top rides up at this point, exposing some blurred flesh; not a good look), then with his other arm stops the first blonde from charging Snooki again. A pretty impressive showing, we must say. Pauly D and The Situation appear to have given up, and indeed the camera spies The Situation chatting up Alex in the background. The blondes finally leave, with Sammi Giancola shouting after them, "You don't belong here! You don't even look Italian!" (She would later top this high insult in the confrontation with Ronnie's heckler: She tells him he looks like he's 30. Ouch!) Alex is taken into custody, perhaps for public drunkeness, though it's not made clear.
And speaking of arrests: The gang is at a bar when a guy tries to provoke Pauly D. When he finds out that Pauly D isn't from New Jersey, he asks him, "So what do you know about Seaside?", but Pauly D doesn't bite. Later, the guy follows Ronnie and Sammi as they walk on the Boardwalk: "So where you from, Manhattan? Brooklyn? ... Go home to Staten Island where you belong!" Sammi lays the 30 insult on him, and tells the guy's girlfriend that her sundress looks like something her grandma would wear. Ronnie pushes Sammi away and tries to shut her up; he's clearly trying to avoid a confrontation. But the situation quickly devolves into "Come at me, bro!", "No, you come at me, bro!" The guy's girlfriend steps in between the two men, but not in any effort to quell the tension. She pushes Ronnie, who shoves her hand away. She goes after him again, and he pushes her hand away, then she does it a third and fourth time. The guy feints a lunge at Ronni, and then the two are on each other. Ronnie pretty quickly gets the upper hand and lands a few blows, while the guy's girlfriend and Sammi try to pull them apart. They're tangling for what seems like a good while -- we cut to The Situation getting a phone call about the fight and he and Pauly D rushing out of the house -- and then finally someone, likely an MTV bodyguard, pulls the two men apart. A police car arrives. Ronnie stalks away and brushes off Sammi when she tries to talk to him. He returns to the house, upends a table and fumes some more. Sammi arrives home, goes upstairs and cries to Snooki, "He pushed me and left me ... and walked home."
Gotta say I'm on Team Ronnie here. For the record, Ronnie shouldn't have shoved her, but Sammi was making a bad situation much, much worse, and then she had the gall to try to make herself the focus of the night's drama. "You just ... traumatized me," she tells Ronnie. Jeez, this from a woman who earlier in the episode got furious with Ronnie for making fun of her toes -- "That is like, the worst thing you can possible do." Ronnie apologizes and they make up. It's no wonder Sammi is in such good shape. She's an Olympic-caliber manipulator.
Let's wrap up the other business. At the end of last week's episode, Vinny Guadagnino hooked up with his boss Danny's date. Danny didn't seem to care all that much. Vinny's extended family also shows up and treats the house to some delicious ziti and cold cuts, then Mama Guadagnino cleans the refrigerator. Vinny flirts with The Situation's sister Melissa over the phone, but when she shows up, he thinks she looks too much like The Situation and is turned off. But at the club later (where JWoww is wearing her formal panties again) they seem to hit it off. And The Situation shares with us his holy grail: Gym. Tanning. Laundry. GTL, people. GTL.

It seems as though the pre-orders for the OUYA in retail stores is very low. The release date of June 4th appears to be in question, and GameStop employees appear to know nothing at all.
The Ouya won't make Gamestop or GAME much money compared to a real platform. I can't wait to see this garbage fail. Even hardcore supporters are bound to be enraged when a new edition comes out in 8-12 months that makes the current unit obsolete.
Lol it is ridiculous to expect them to know of a machine with very low demand and hype outside of the net . Ouya fans are in clear lala land if they believe the general public knows about it and and the retail system will cater much to such a niche .
It will have its followers , but still will remain a niche
There's definitely a market out there for it. I just checked on Kickstarter for it again and most of the backers get an OUYA anyway.
I don't see it doing very well for people who don't keep up to date with consoles, games, etc. These will be your average consumers that might pop into a game store to buy a game for a family member or something. They won't know what an OUYA is.
I'm not interested in the console. If I want to play Android games, I will use my smartphone. It's something I will have for the rest of my life or until they become obsolete and something else takes over... I don't really sit down and spend hours upon hours playing games on my phone. I probably have 2 or 3 games and after a couple of weeks I will uninstall it. They are mainly there to pass the time for like 5 or 10 minutes when you are in the car, on the train, on the bus, etc.
Games like FF3 can be played on the NDS and PSP which a lot of gamers will most likely own.
Thing is who is giving up there Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft branded consoles for a system that plays the same games as there phones?
Same thing with that steam console if you have a computer do you buy a console that only plays games that you can play on your super computer?
Even if it is something you plug up to your TV.
The general public doesn't know crap about Ouya. I don't know anyone (who isn't a passionate gamer) who even knows it exists. I see why they created Ouya and there might even be enough people who want something like that but internet-only marketing won't do them any good.
Overall, I don't see a future for the console and I'm pretty happy about that because I see mobile-/app-games as cancer to the industry.

Birthday wishlist
Its a week until my birthday now, I'm trying to be excited - do you remember how excited you used to get when you were little? The excitement seems to diminish each year after about the age of 13. I remember being 9 and being so excited about turning 10 (double digits!) I counted down the days from about 2 months before haha.
Anyway I just thought i'd show you what I'm wanting this year - some of them are more of a wish that will never be requited (the two pairs of Jeffery Campbell's haha). Anyway first want is definitely a Bestival ticket I went last year and it was amazing! My boyfriend is buying me this though - He is awful at keeping secrets. Want number 2 would have to be a pair of disco pants - which my mum just ordered me about half an hour ago! I was undecided on which colour to get I originally wanted the navy but Laura ended up getting them plus thinking about it I doubt they would've gone with much that I own. So I was stuck between the black and the charcoal. I went for black in the end - I do like the charcoal but I feel they're a bit too light for my liking I wish there was a mid way colour between the black and the charcoal that would be perfect for me! I've been wanting a pair of nude flatforms I'm stuck between a few pairs but these ones are cool I love the studding! The galaxy print shorts are amazing! I'm thinking of diy-ing a pair and trying to recreate this look... I'll let you know how that goes haha.
I have to go to work now - I'm on holiday after this shift though! Whole week off yay! I've also got a meeting before my shift about possibly changing my job role - exciting stuff! I'll let you all know how it goes!
Mina xxxx

Auction sites such as Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers and eBay, along with classifieds sites such as Equipment Trader and Commercial Truck Trader, allow owners to sell used dump trailers by creating listings on their websites. Each site offers different tools to help the owner market the trailer and interact with buyers.
The first step to selling a used dump trailer is to choose the site that best fits the owner's needs and schedule. If the buyer wants to be closely involved in the sale process or handle the entire procedure herself, she should choose a classifieds site. Alternately, if the owner wants a third party to handle creating the listing, promoting the listing and offer other features such as shipping the trailer, she should choose an auction site. It is important to note that some auction sites, such as eBay, place much of the sale process in the hands of the seller rather than working on her behalf.
If the seller decides to handle the sale on her own, she needs to take multiple clear pictures of the trailer to include in the listing. Providing clear information about the trailer helps buyers understand its true condition and value and makes them more likely to purchase.

ROBERT DUVALL has played an extraordinary range of characters over the years, everything from a melancholy country signer in "Tender Mercies" to a crazed air-cavalry commander in "Apocalypse Now."
But his latest role as former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin is perhaps the most challenging assignment he's ever taken on, the two-time Academy Award winner said in an interview during the filming here last winter.
"It's more like quicksand than almost any part I've played," Mr. Duvall says. "Each day I'd go in and I'd say `let's roll the camera and see what happens."'
Viewers can judge Duvall's performance when "Stalin" premieres on cable's Home Box Office this Saturday. As for Duvall, he says it's hard to compare Stalin with his other roles.
"I don't know how to rate it. I know some scenes work - a lot of scenes work," he says. "But it's hard to be consistent with this because I'm playing a guy who was so amoral. I just don't think in the way he thinks."
In making "Stalin," the producers stressed authenticity. They were able to take advantage of the political changes in Russia in recent years to gain access to locations - including Vladimir Lenin's Kremlin apartment and Stalin's country home outside Moscow - that were off-limits during the Communist era.
The film tells the story of Stalin's rise to power, showing how he outmaneuvers political rivals to become the unchallenged dictator of the Soviet empire.
"If Al Capone had become president of the United States, he wouldn't have been as bad as this guy," Duvall says.
The action begins with the coming to power of the Communists during the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, progressing through the bloody purges of the 1930s and ending with his death in March 1953. The story primarily is told from the point of view of his wife Nadya, and his daughter, Svetlana.
"It's a terribly complex story," says producer Mark Carliner.
"What we decided to do was make a gangster movie because Stalin was really a gangster," he adds.
But the film received a mixed reaction from the largely Russian audience attending its world premiere last week in Moscow. Some found glaring discrepancies that damaged the film's credibility, particularly a scene early on in which a familiar Moscow park is depicted as "Siberia."
Many also objected to the portrayals of those around Stalin. Lenin, who was played by Maximilian Schell, was shown to be a bungling figure, while Nikita Khrushchev, the man who followed Stalin as Soviet leader, is sometimes portrayed as a buffoon.
In addition, there were complaints that the three KGB police chiefs who presided over the purges were shown more as the "Keystone Cops," than the men who executed millions and sent millions more to labor camps.
Gen. Dmitry Volkogonov, a prominent Russian historian who served as an adviser on "Stalin," offered only subdued praise for the three-hour film.
"It offers an American perspective of events," he says. "But it succeeds in capturing the general mood of the era."
Duvall says he can understand if Russians don't like the film.
"It's kind of a presumptuous thing to come from one country to another," he says. "Coming in with their left-wing money from Hollywood ... there could be a few people who resent this.
"European filmmakers, when they come to America, a lot of them, to me, make these very pretentious movies...."
But Duvall, Carliner, and others say that despite the mixed reaction to the movie in Russia, the effort was worth it.
"Many Russians said we - the Americans - were the only ones who could make this movie because they're still too close to it," Duvall says.

Sponsorship and development
Corporate sponsorship and partnerships are secured to support Museum programs and to extend and enhance a range of activities. In 2005–06, the Museum continued to develop new collaborations and maintained substantial support from existing partners such as the History Channel and Doma Hotels.
The Museum's Corporate Circle program engaged local business supporters and provided opportunities for members to increase their level of support to the Museum. A key benefit provided for sponsors and Corporate Circle members was the annual networking forum 'Getting Down to Business', held in March 2006. The event attracted more than 300 of Canberra's government and private sector decision-makers.
Ninety per cent of existing Corporate Circle members renewed their membership and three organisations are about to become members for the first time.
Merchandising and retail
Merchandising and retail operations raise commercial revenues while at the same time enhancing visitor experiences through the provision of merchandise that is largely inspired by Museum exhibitions, programs and its unique building.
Key achievements during 2005–06 included:
- a 17.1 per cent growth in gross revenue
- a conversion rate of 13.67 per cent (that is, the percentage of Museum visitors who purchase from the Shop during their visit), compared to a conversion rate of 12.35 per cent in 2004–05.
Retail staff were also active members of the Australian Capital Territory cultural shops forum. This forum includes retail managers from the National Gallery of Australia, Questacon, Parliament House Shop, the National Library of Australia, Old Parliament House and the National Film and Sound Archive.
Venue hire
The Museum is a popular venue for a range of corporate events including conferences, meetings, product launches, gala dinners, awards presentations and cocktail receptions.
This year the Museum continued to focus on promoting the venue to the convention industry.
Key relationships were developed within the industry to help promote the Museum as a venue to local, national and international markets.
This resulted in participation in promotional events such as the Asia–Pacific Incentives Meetings Expo and the Canberra Convention Bureau's targeted industry group events.

Metro Health Hospital Receives National Award for Heart Attack Care
Metro Health Hospital has received another national award for its exceptional heart attack care. The hospital was among six in Michigan – and 93 across the country – recognized with a 2008 Silver Performance Achievement Award from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry as part of its inaugural Acute Coronary Treatment and International Outcome Network "Get with the Guidelines" program.
The award, which is based on guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, acknowledged Metro's efforts to deliver high-level quality care to patients experiencing a heart attack. Metro is one of more than 400 hospitals nationwide participating in the NCDR quality improvement project.
"We are honored to be recognized with yet another award for the quality care we provide to patients who experience a heart attack," said Dan Witt, director of cardiovascular services. "This award acknowledges the measurable difference our medical team makes in the lives of our patients every day.
In an effort to deliver excellent care to all heart-attack patients, Metro Health:
- Uses standardized admission orders for all patients experiencing chest pains and related symptoms that would indicate a heart attack
- Provides smoking cessation information to all patients upon admission, whether they smoke or not
- Manages more than 95 percent of heart attack cases with cardiologists

Fall Colors Spreading Throughout the Region
By Kelby
Fall Color Report (2,500 Elevation and Below)
The fall color continues to emerge at the lower elevations, with pretty dashes of color in and around the downtown Asheville area. There is still a lot of green showing, but many trees are tinged in gold or burgundy.
At Biltmore, cooler weather has finally arrived and red maples have started to get a spotty look with red branches, according to Director of Horticulture Parker Andes.
"Dogwoods and sourwoods provide tree color with woodland ferns now showing a nice yellow backdrop," he said. "Virginia creeper and poison ivy add red and orange every day and tulip poplars and ashes are quickly turning yellow. Spicebush, a woodland shrub that is rarely noticed until fall, is showing bright yellow foliage and red berries. On sunny days, the katsura tree in the azalea garden continues filling the air with a fragrance described by guests as anything from cotton candy to vanilla."
Erica Bell with the 25th Lake Eden Arts Festival (LEAF) coming this weekend to Black Mountain said fallen yellow leaves crinkle underneath the feet of their production staff and volunteers. "Off in the distance, I see deep crimson reds on the tips of the trees as the parking flags and tent canopies go up! Early color is showing in about 35 to 40 percent of the foliage."
The middle and lower elevations are still likely a couple weeks away from a color peak. At Chimney Rock Park, Naturalist Ron Lance said most trees are still fairly green around the Hickory Nut Gorge below 2,500 feet in elevation.
In Hot Springs, at an elevation of 1,300 feet, the color has been emerging for the past two weeks. "It's beautiful," said Louise with the U.S. Forest Service's Appalachian/French Broad District. "I'd say it's like 35-40 percent. It's really gotten pretty the last week."
Fall Color Report (Above 2,500 Feet)
The area's highest elevations are the prime areas to hit this weekend to find the biggest concentration of fall colors.
"The big color news seems to be the rapid onset of peak color in the high elevations above 5,000 feet just north and south of Asheville," states the Blue Ridge Parkway fall color hotline. "Waterrock Knob, Graveyard Fields and Mt. Pisgah are spectacular right now."
There are still many fields of wildflowers displaying colors along the parkway, where they are "lighting up the roadsides." Parkway officials recommend visiting on weekdays, if possible, to avoid crowds commonplace on October weekends during the fall color season.
At Grandfather Mountain, wind last week sent some of the color to the ground.

A custom-made guitar that was stolen from Zakk Wylde's tour bus has been returned to the rocker.
The Black Label Society frontman's Pelham Blue Bullseye Gibson was swiped after a show in Chicago, Illinois in March (14), and Wylde feared he'd never see his cherished axe again.
But it turned up at a city pawn shop, where reality TV show Hardcore Pawn: Chicago is filmed, and the owners quickly realised the instrument was something special, identified it and got in touch with Wylde's manager.
The guitar is one of two aged Pelham Blue Les Paul guitars bearing Wylde's signature bulls-eye pattern, and it was custom-made for the guitarist in 2010.
Wylde is currently on tour and has not yet been reunited with his missing Gibson.

After publicizing that it had switched its Hotmail servers from FreeBSD to 100 percent Windows, Microsoft admitted recently that a small fraction of Hotmail's servers (i.e., the ad-hosting and DNS servers) still run FreeBSD. The revelation somewhat embarrassed the company, which said that the affected servers use FreeBSD only for compatibility reasons and are still targeted for a transition to Windows. Microsoft haters welcomed the news but blew it a bit out of proportion: Some sites suggested that Microsoft bases critical portions of its business on freeware OS solutions—an accusation that clearly isn't the case.

By Meg Richichi
An Integrative Women's Health Practitioner for the last 16 years, Meg Richichi blends both Eastern and Western modalities in her NYC practice. Her extensive studies and experience includes training at a leading hospital in Vietnam, herbalogy and shamanic healing practices in the Brazilian Rain Forest and training in holistic-functional medicine in the U.S. Richichi uses her collective knowledge and experience to focus on women's health issues, including stress related hormonal imbalances, infertility, weight issues and acute/chronic pain disorders. Her practice includes nutritional counseling, acupuncture and personalized supplement programs.
So frequently women ask, '"What can I do to become pregnant?" The following applies to all women because sexual orientation plays no role and biology has no discernible bias. If a woman wants to become a mother, she must first become the best mother she can possibly be to herself-in every area of her life. When a woman chooses to nurture herself, making this a priority, she increases her chances for bringing a child into this world.
We live in a culture that has little regard for "self- nurturing." Many of us continue to travel at a velocity that is completely out of rhythm with who we are. More times then not, women of all ages speed along life's highway with minimal concern for the physical, emotional and spiritual consequences of their daily choices.
Part of the problem, is that we as a society have not adapted to modern day stress. We still respond as if being charged by a tiger in the jungle and live in a perpetual low- grade flight or fight response. This creature of the wild has another name -modern day stress. Years of chronic pushing and pulling on the adrenals, multi-tasking to the point of burnout–working long hours, skipping meals, not enough sleep, drinking too much caffeine and taking too little time for ourselves. The way you live your life and the lifestyle choices you make every day can have tremendous impact on your hormones. I cannot emphasize enough to all my fertility patients that their reproductive health is a reflection of their overall health.
What I have also observed over the past 16 years of clinical practice, are the escalating effects of daily stress on conception. Elevated cortisol levels, blood sugar issues, diet and environmental toxins are a few of the factors compromising women's reproductive health today. For example, when your body is in a state of constant, low-grade stress, you use progesterone (amongst other hormones) in an effort to combat stress, robbing your cycle and impacting your chances for conception.
Motherspath Daily Fertility Tips:
Being more mindful of everyday lifestyle choices can vastly improve the quality of a your
reproductive health. Here are six fertility tips that may help you along the way:
- Eight hours of sleep every night.
- Eat within the first 30 minutes of waking- always include a protein with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- Eat every 3 hours to keep your blood sugar stabilized- including a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack.Good snack options include:
- Piece of fruit with 1 tablespoon of almond butter
- 1/4 cup of hummus and 12 baby carrots
- 6oz of low-fat greek plain yogurt with berries and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- If you're experiencing gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, skin conditions such as eczema- there's a good chance you may have a food sensitivity or allergy. The most common allergens include gluten, dairy, eggs, soy and corn. And, yes its quite possible that a food sensitivity or allergy can contribute to infertility challenges. I see it all the time in my practice.
- Consider getting a full thyroid test. I frequently discover the underlying issue is a hypo -active thyroid.
- Take probiotics – A study in the Lancet stated that women taking probiotics during pregnancy and nursing have children with less food allergies.
These six fertility tips can help you manage the daily ups and down with a bit more ease and side step that tiger as it comes your way.
If we want to create extraordinary babies, let's start by creating extraordinary mothers.
Meg Richichi offers women a structured way to reshape their lives to encourage conception. Her program Mother's Path goes beyond the quality of women's eggs and focuses on the quality of women's health. Meg helps women towards optimal reproductive health through a comprehensive analysis of lifestyle, diet, work habits, sleep and exercise. Meg's individualized programs include nutrition, detoxification, specific supplementation and acupuncture to increase your chances for creating a healthy newborn while minimizing the risk of miscarriage.

text: So I had this introduction/engagement the next day and the theme colour chosen was white and a gold head gear was sold to us, I must say I'm probably the only person in this country who doesn't have a white traditional wear. Back to the story, so I was given almost 3 yards of guinea fabric as a bribe to sew for the briber,a day before the party oo, I didn't complain cos her style was easy, I would have shared that style but she never got to wear it as she had a baby on the day of the party. By evening I was done with her easy style but then that meant I had just hours to sew something for myself with almost 3 yards of guinea, obviously it has to be a style that is easy to sew, so I decided to try a danshiki and a skirt to go with, knowing there won't be enough time to do the real embroidery, I had to improvise, I had just bought a pack of that string of sequin and I used it instead, it took me about 3 hours to do that, all the while scared that it wouldn't look nice but it did, I have pictures to prove it, plus I got a lot of stares and compliments at the party, if only I was a little bit bigger.....hmm. ...check it out people

NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz composer Maria Schneider feels "absolutely giddy" to find herself in new company at the Grammy Awards with her first contemporary classical CD, "Winter Morning Walks" featuring soprano Dawn Upshaw.
Over the past 20 years, Schneider has built a reputation as a leading jazz composer, arranger and big band leader. Her last two CDs won Grammys — "Concert in the Garden" for large jazz ensemble recording and "Sky Blue" for instrumental composition ("Cerulean Skies").
Her achievement is even more remarkable because she was the first artist to win a Grammy for a web-exclusive recording in 2004, using the fan-funding ArtistShare platform.
Her new CD — one of the first fan-funded projects to feature major orchestras — so far has covered nearly half its $200,000 budget from donations ranging up to $10,000 for an executive producer credit.
"Winter Morning Walks," a song cycle based on the poetry of Pulitzer Prize-winner Ted Kooser, has three nominations, including best contemporary classical composition, best classical vocal solo (Upshaw) and best engineered classical album.
Schneider, 53, finds herself nominated alongside such heavyweight contemporary composers as Arvo Part, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Magnus Lindberg as well as Caroline Shaw, whose "Partita for 8 Voices" won the Pulitzer Prize.
"It's such a thrill to be in that company," said Schneider, interviewed at her one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. "It's like I jumped into a whole other fish tank."
The seed for the recording was planted in 2004 when Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov gave Upshaw a copy of "Concert in the Garden." Upshaw instantly connected with the music and began attending Schneider's annual Thanksgiving week gig at the Jazz Standard club.
"I was fascinated with the way she wrote," Upshaw said. "Her music was bursting with real unabashed joy, nothing artificial."
Upshaw, a four-time Grammy winner, eventually came up with "this wild idea" of asking Schneider to compose something for her.
Schneider had not done anything with classical music since college in the early '80s when she felt "terrified" by the classical world's emphasis on atonal music and switched to jazz.
She was reluctant at first to accept Upshaw's commission because it involved things she had never done before — write for a classical vocalist and chamber orchestra and compose music to lyrics — but decided she needed "to take risks and try new things."
Schneider found it easier to work with an open-minded singer like Upshaw, who is comfortable with everything from singing Mozart at the Met to performing contemporary compositions by Henryk Gorecki and Golijov.
"Dawn doesn't feel like a singer with a manufactured sound and presence. When Dawn sings a lyric it feels so real and from the heart," said Schneider.
Schneider felt the Brazilian influences in her jazz writing would provide "a stepping stone" into the classical world. She wrote "Carlos Drummond de Andrade Stories," based on the works of one of Brazil's leading poets, which was premiered by Upshaw and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra in 2008 and also appears on the new CD.
For the "Winter Morning Walks" song cycle, Schneider decided to bring Upshaw more into her world by having three improvising musicians — pianist Frank Kimbrough, bassist Jay Anderson and clarinetist Scott Robinson, who have been with her jazz orchestra since its 1992 start — perform with the Australian Chamber Orchestra at the 2011 premiere and on the recording.
Schneider and Upshaw, both breast cancer survivors, felt an immediate personal connection with Kooser's poems, which he wrote on pre-dawn walks in the Nebraska countryside while recovering from cancer surgery and radiation therapy. Schneider found the images also evoked memories of the landscapes around her hometown in southwestern Minnesota that have influenced her jazz compositions.
"I think there's something when you encounter your mortality," said Schneider, an avid bird watcher. "It's a shocking moment that wakes up the colors and the power of beauty and nature just explode in a way they don't normally. You become so appreciative of the smallest, most beautiful things."
Schneider says she couldn't sleep when she sent the finished recording to Kooser, but was relieved when he enthusiastically endorsed her effort.
"He said he felt he could experience the poetry with the music, and it just made me really happy," said Schneider. "That to me is better than any Grammy Award."

Chennai: The much anticipated North East monsoon, which brings the bulk of rainfall in Tamil Nadu and other southern states, is likely to commence by October 30, the India Meteorological Department said on Wednesday.
"Commencement of North East monsoon rains over the southern parts of peninsular India is likely around October 30, 2016," the Department said in a bulletin.
The Regional Meteorological Centre here also said the north east monsoon was likely to set in by Sunday.
The cyclonic storm 'Kyant' over east-central Bay of Bengal was likely to move west-southwestwards towards west-central Bay of Bengal in the 72 hours, the RMC said.
Last year, the North East monsoon had wreaked havoc in Tamil Nadu, with a record downpour in December 2015, resulting in deluge in the four northern districts of Tamil Nadu -- Chennai, Tiruvallur, Cuddalore and Kancheepuram.
Normal life was paralysed in several parts of these districts, with people being evacuated from flooded residential areas to safer zones. Armed forces and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel were also pressed into service last year.
On a direction from Madras High Court, the state government had last week constituted a 20-member advisory committee of experts from various fields to assist the state Disaster Management authority in times of natural calamities.

China's outbound M&A engine has shifted its focus to new industries, including consumer goods and technology, and new companies in Europe and North America. With the right strategies in place, Chinese businesses can overcome their current obstacles in outbound M&A and be primed to take advantage of the opportunity for growth with overseas industry.
China has become a strong player in the global economy, and the country's rate of outbound M&A is one clear sign of that growth. Over the past ten years, outbound Chinese acquisitions have seen double-digit growth, and they're set for continued growth in the coming years.
There are two primary factors for China's growth in outbound M&A:
Together, these two factors help give Chinese business leaders more independence in striking deals with foreign companies and improve the ability to effectively complete outbound M&A activities.
For years, the Chinese government eyed energy and resource M&A opportunities primarily to support its economy. But today there is a new focus on gaining market share and core capabilities. Chinese outbound M&A deals now work to acquire technology, consumer goods, finance, media, and telecommunications organizations, to include far more diversified industries.
The result is that in the past five years, roughly 75% of China's outbound M&A deals were aimed at accessing technology, brands, and market share; less than 20% of deals were aimed at acquiring strategic resources.
Another shift within China's outbound M&A activities is a new view of target markets. Rather than focusing primarily on other Asian countries, China is now conducting more deals in Europe and North America.
While outbound M&A is growing, there is room for improvement., and acquirers report only 32% of those deals are trouble-free. In order to improve the success rate, Chinese businesses may need—depending on past experience—to overcome several hurdles to create sustainable value with oversea M&A transactions. Prevailing challenges that leadership face and need to address are:
There are three keys to overcoming the current challenges faced by Chinese businesses to experience successful outbound deal-making:

Usually, your personal computer runs best while the system is just installed and also the items are still new. While using for years, the machine components get old and the system has stored piles of junk and evidence files which will drag the computer into a slow performance, you may experience errors such as Runtimeerror 2at.When a pc is running slowly to a certain extent which you cannot stand, you need to know that a complete cleanning is needed urgently.
"Runtimeerror 2at" is an error that truns up when an unpredicted circumstance appears or when a wanted operation has failed. If you have a fault in Windows, it might be serious and cause your programs to freeze and crash or it could be apparently innocuous yet resenting.

VALLEY OF THE DINOSAURSMedium: TV animation
Produced by: Hanna-Barbera
First Appeared: 1974
Please contribute to its necessary financial support.
Amazon.com or PayPal
One of the recurring themes in fantasy fiction is people interacting with dinosaurs. Cartoons, especially, are rife with it, from as far back as Prehistoric Peeps and Our Antediluvian Ancestors. Turok, Son of Stone was a well-known and long-lasting one, but for real excitement, you have to get
modern people involved. Placing a few dinos in an updated setting is only half the battle, so Dinosaurs for Hire doesn't quite do it. The modern heroes have to meet the big guys on their own turf.
That sort of series usually starts with a variation on how Dorothy got to Oz (barely a relation) i.e., by a means unlikely to be duplicated, in which the hero isn't in full control of the conveyance and can't always see where he's going. A tornado for Dorothy; a trip through a whirlpool on the Amazon for high school science teacher John Butler and his family in Hanna-Barbera's Valley of the Dinosaurs.
John, his wife Kim, their older daughter Katie, their younger son Greg and even their dog Digger, were rafting down the Amazon, apparently enjoying a family outing, when they struck a rock, got dumped out, were caught in a whirlpool, and wound up swept through an underground cavern. By the time they lifted themselves up (uninjured) they'd been washed ashore in a hidden (and uncharted) valley where dinosaurs had managed to survive as well as they had on Dinosaur Island.
There are fans who suspect the valley might have been the same one Dino Boy had gotten stuck in years earlier. Then again, there are those who don't care.
It doesn't seem likely that a high school teacher would be equipped to head a family trying to survive in the wild, so it's fortunate that they fell in with a family of locals Gorak, a cave man; his wife Gara; their kids Lok and Tana; and even a surrogate dog, a baby Stegosaurus named Glump.
One would think folks born into such a situation would resemble South American Indians, but no, these were stereotyped cavemen, the "natural" cohabitants with dinosaurs. The only anomaly was Gorak's pencil-thin moustache, which looked as carefully cultivated as The Angel's or The Wizard's, despite the fact that tonsorial tools were scarce in their environment.
The native family helped the interlopers devise a way out of the valley, as well as helping them survive at all, on CBS's Saturday morning schedule, starting September 7, 1974. Only one season of 16 episodes was made. They'd all aired by the time the Charlton comic book version came out with a cover date of April, 1975. There were 11 issues, the last of which was dated December, 1976.
John was voiced by Jackie Earle Haley, the face actor who played the live-action Rorschach, and Gorak by Allen Oppenheimer (Mighty Mouse). Kim was Shannon Farnon (Wonder Woman in early '80s Super Friends) and Gara Joan Gardner (several voices in Kid Power). The pets were both voiced by Frank Welker (Scooby-Doo).
After the show ran its course, it went into reruns. Years later, it was still enough in the public eye to get re-licensed for comic books. Harvey Comics put out a single issue in 1992.

Arvalia: Ascension of Man
rune magic
Rune magic is the common magic system of the major civilized races of Arvalia. Runestones manifest naturally in the world, generally in or near concentrations of their element. They are approximately 1.5" in diameter and 1/8" thick.
By attuning to these runes a person gains the ability to cast spells associated with the rune. Runes must be attuned to a part of your body (right or left hand, or head). The rune melds into the attuned body part and is visible akin to a tattoo.
The most common runes are embodiments of the elements: air, earth, fire, and water. See the list of known runes.
Each rune has a table of abilities available to the runecaster based on which part of their body they attuned to the rune, and how adept they are with that particular rune. The runecaster has access to all abilities of their current skill with that rune and below.
For description of how the attunement process works, see rune attunement.
For description of how to cast available runic spells, see runecasting.
While attuning directly to runes is the most common form of rune magic, one can also bind the powers of runes into specially prepared items. This is known as runecarving.
