Comic 866: Randy's Life
Tooltip: The Greeks long suspected this, but it wasn't until April 12th of 1882 that Ferdinand von Lindemann conclusively proved it when he constructed himself the most awesome birthday party possible and nobody showed up.
Good morning my precious pets! This is Ravenzomg-58 with your latest fix of magnificent Randallian secretion!
This, my dears, is efficiently magnifiglorious. Don't let the simple style fool you, Randall truly understands how to show mood and tone [and sometimes both!] in his comics.
First, look at the posture of this faceless Void-Creature. Despite being expressionless and utterly featureless beyond his accessories-du-jour [as my Viking ancestors said], we can tell the dejected and completely vacuous hole that is formed within his soul! This creature, my friends, is crushed not by great mass [as would have occurred were our own Robyn to attend the Geometer's party], but by the great emptiness that is his friendless existence!
Now before you rush to the "GOOMH, Randall, I too am a friendless machination!" that I know you frail-but-well-read creatures must be thinking, let us continue on this journey into Randall's tangible brilliance!
Look at the off-centre* stickman, and the white Void left in the Creature's absence --- not only does Randall tell us of the Creature's loneliness ["tell"] he also demonstrates [or "shows"] it to us; he both shows AND tells! Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Now then, before you rate this a 9/10 for brilliant-but-lacking-secret-codes, beware you foolish children! For secret codes do prance amongst the Great Randall's words like fauns in the forest, waiting to surprise you at a moment's notice with a joyous reunion between the dreamer and the dream!
Unlike the common avian specimen, your delightfully brilliant Raven[zomg!] had noticed a trick in Randall's otherwise functionally florid prose. There were altogether too many Es in this note, which I recognized as statistically too many even [for Mathematics are also among my trades, besides Language, Sarcasm, and that other thing] for that luscious letter which we use with relish every time we mention our beloved Void-Creatures.
So, having discovered this quirk, the message was dissasembled, the letters scattered and reörganized into their proper meaning, the musings of our Genius Man-God!
Behold, my children, the wisdom and questing queries of the troubled wise man we have come to worship at our alters!
Is damp disco still free, my Lord? Only those who have left this existence truly know; only they will know.
*Fuck you, America!
Love and stuff,

Nice work on the anagram, but I've got to admit I liked this comic. The idea that XKCD is just Randy attempting to construct friends is funny and a little poignant.
It also brings up the possibility that Megan is just a stick-figure, and that is what breaks his heart...
Captcha - Condammu. A broken condom.
I laughed, but it was definitely a 'That's really sad, in a self-aware and still really pathetic way' laugh, and not a 'HAHAHA GOOMH RANDALL SO FUNNY I TRY TO MANUFACTURE FRIENDS OUT OF MATH, TOO!' way.ReplyDelete

@Neal: For some reason it comes out really sarcastic, but my praise in the first half of the review was nearly 100% genuine -- using a low-detail medium Randall really managed to express the loneliness of his Void-Creature through posturing and negative space. Ignoring the bizarre Randall-syntax tooltip ["[...]he constructed himself the most awesome birthday party"], this comic is actually pretty good. But anagrams are fun, and except for "Rare-coat" it produced some okay phrases.ReplyDelete
Captcha: Plueb. Sorry, Neal, I write for the filthy pluebs which expect unjustified vitriol!

The saddest part is that the real reason Randall can't make friends with a compass and a straightedge is because these people are too good for him. They have actual geometric forms and straight lines for bodies, and not shoddy squiggly hand-drawn lines and unfinished ovals. Thus, they abandon Randall in disgust.ReplyDelete

Yes, Randall. Birds are dinosaurs. We knew that for years already. I can trace that fact as back as Beakman's World, and that show stopped airing in 1997. That's at least 14 years you're late, Randall. AT LEAST.ReplyDelete
And that's just for the tooltip. The comic is an exchange of douchebaggery between Megan and Blonde-Megan. Does that make it a funny comic? No. Not at all.
Now, if I were Rob I'd start concocting a theory about how Randall, in his deepest fantasies, imagine that they're engaging in a catfight for his nerd love and then agree to have a threesome. Good thing I'm not Rob, so I won't do that. Marvelous, eh?

Nono, beneath the title. Weeeeell, the title, too, I mean.... "XKCDsucks"? Totally the cutting edge of slicing journalism right there. But below that -- see that? No?

xkcdsucks never made a claim to being dreadful - it wore its colours on its sleeves to mercilessly rip into xkcd, certainly. But it used to be smarter, and it used to be better-argued.
The horrible, present-day-xkcdsucks seems to have inexplicably developed a culture of drooling, dogmatic idiocy rather than focussed, insightful vitriol and bitterness (oh, snap, he CAN read after all!).
The result is that xkcdsucks is currently a bigger disappointment trading off of its past glory than xkcd itself. Quite a feat.
- AnonymousMarch 2, 2011 at 7:19 AM
The point is that xkcd was once worth that treatment. Bad as it was, it was worth dissecting. Now look at it- non-jokes, rehashes of older xkcd strips (except less funny) and lactation. It's gone so far off the deep end into bad it's almost bewildering. xkcd started out decently enough and was pretty good for almost 300 strips but has since then been in continuous decline. It might as well be in free-fall by now.ReplyDelete
Randall needs to stop it with the biology jokes. He's a (wannabe) physicist, and he has no clue about biology or the culture of biologists.ReplyDelete
He gets the situation completely backwards in this comic. Ornithologists have no interest in broadening their field to include "dinosaurs", let alone other reptiles. Why should they? Birds are a perfectly fine monophyletic group.
The strictest cladists out there (e.g., Gauthier, de Quieroz) study reptiles. They get worked up if you try to talk about reptiles as a group that doesn't include birds.
Nobody is trying to defend the field of herpetology (amphibians+reptiles) as having any evolutionary justification. It makes sense in a practical way though. You find both kinds of herps by flipping logs and rocks. Finding birds means pointing binoculars at the tops of trees.
Irregardless of any herpetological hostility to paraphyly, herpetologists still have joint meetings with icthyologists. Even more paraphyly there, but it could probably still be justified on practical grounds.

The reason the blog was so focused to begin with was because Carl, love him or hate him, was able to keep writing critiques 3 times a week. There's a link to a good post about why he stopped at the top of the page. But I'll leave you a link anyways.
I want to believe this post was actually written by doppleganger Ravenzomg. Only that could explain its awfulness.ReplyDelete

Rob's shown us the "other way" you can go. Just after Carl left he was still pretty good, but now he's letting standards slip and encouraging an atmosphere of monkeys hurling shit in a zoo.

Dersop's Fables 275 - The Fox and the CrowReplyDelete
Once upon a time there was a dishonest fox and a vain crow. One day the crow was sitting in his tree, holding a piece of cheese in his mouth. He noticed that he was holding the piece of cheese. He became hungry, and swallowed the cheese. The fox walked over to the crow. The end.
I hope Randall honestly doesn't think this is such a new and amazing fact for people to know about. It's pretty common knowledge, which makes the alt text sound all the more stuck up.ReplyDelete
What happened to the octopus' girlfriend? To shreds, you say?ReplyDelete
@Ravenzomg, regarding grammar comment at 6:38 yesterday:ReplyDelete
While obscure, Randall has got himself a perfectly legitimate grammatical construction there. There's an invisible "for" involved, which linguists call the "wtf English I am tired of you fucking with conjunctions" for.

Yeah, I can't say I completely disagree with you. But it's too bad. Can't blame Carl for quitting, it was probably the right thing to do for him. Can't really blame Rob for getting bored unless you think you could have lasted longer (I know I couldn't). Only person I blame is Randall for somehow managing to continue to write pure drivel for as long as he has. If his plan was simply to outlast his critics, he's winning.

...why would a herpetologist care that someone wants to relabel the biology specialties? His education and research would be just as valid as before. If his focus was on amphibians, he'd be a batrachologist. If reptiles he's be an ornithologist with a subspecialty. New business cards would be the biggest issue.ReplyDelete
Also unless there's an actual ornithologist movement to merge the fields, there isn't a joke. It's just "lulz, what if someone insisted everyone with a related field change their job title? If that's happening, it's funny!"
tl;dr comic is stupid randall is stupid people who think xkcd is funny are stupid.

To qualify for 2007 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, and head restraint tests and must offer electronic stability control.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested.
The Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX were introduced in the 2007 model year and restyled for the 2011 model year.
Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible. Head acceleration from the sunvisor/roof rail hit was low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the sunvisor and roof rail.
How this test is conducted
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
In the test, the strength of the roof is determined by pushing a metal plate against one side of it at a slow but constant speed. The force applied relative to the vehicle's weight is known as the strength-to-weight ratio. This graph shows how the ratio varied as the test of this vehicle progressed. The peak strength-to-weight ratio recorded at any time before the roof is crushed 5 inches is the key measurement of roof strength.
A good rating requires a strength-to-weight ratio of at least 4. In other words, the roof must withstand a force of at least 4 times the vehicle's weight before the plate crushes the roof by 5 inches. For an acceptable rating, the minimum required strength-to-weight ratio is 3.25. For a marginal rating, it is 2.5. Anything lower than that is poor.

The College of the Siskiyous men's and women's basketball teams were victorious at home Tuesday night in Weed. Below are recaps from both games.
Women's Game.
The College of the Siskiyous Lady Eagles earned an 88-51 victory over the Chabot Lady Gladiators Tuesday night at Eagle Gymnasium in Weed.
With the sophomore duo of Shyanna Ashworth and Anna Cameron leading the charge by scoring a combined 38 points, the Lady Eagles outscored the Lady Gladiators 50-23 in the second half and cruised to the easy victory.
The Lady Eagles found themselves trailing early in the contest, but quickly erased the deficit and staked themselves to a 10 point halftime advantage.
The Lady Eagles combined stifling defense with a red-hot offensive attack in the second half to pace themselves to the eventual 37 point victory. Their prowess from long-distance proved to make a difference as they drained eight of their fourteen three-pointers in second half while the Lady Gladiators found the mark five times from three-point land.
Ashworth poured a game-high 23 points, including five three-pointers, while Cameron followed with 15 points.
Brianne Burnside and Hailey Wales scored 13 points apiece, while Morgan Tilford drained three three-pointers to finish with nine points.
The Lady Eagles received strong contributions on both sides of the ball from former Yreka Lady Miner stand-out Carrie Watson. Offensively, Watson was an effective distributor of the ball on offense while also pitching in 13 points including three three-pointers. Defensively, Watson was a ball-hawk who helped set up several fast-break opportunities.
Fellow former Lady Miner Danielle Deegan also logged considerable time on the floor in the victory.
The 3-1 Lady Eagles have a short break before returning to action on Thursday at the Contra Costa Comet Classic in San Pablo, Calif.
Their next home contest is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 4 at 7 p.m. against Porterville.
Men's Game
The College of the Siskiyous men's basketball team delivered a 76-63 victory over the Simpson University JV team in their home-opener Tuesday night in Weed.
The Eagles' athleticism proved too much for the Redhawks from the tip-off as the Eagles took the early lead and never looked back.
In the first half, the Eagles built their advantage to as much as 15 points and saw it trimmed to as little as five points, but they never let the Redhawks overcome them and carried a 38-26 lead to half.
The second half proved to follow a similar script with the Eagles building leads and the Redhawks fighting back, but the Eagles never let the Redhawks climb into the lead and motored their way to the 13 point victory.
Lavar Moore led the Eagles with 16 points while Jon Biglow poured in 14 points and Tyrell Brewer added 10 points.
The Eagles roster this season features three players from Florida, two from Nevada, one from New York, one from Connecticut, one from Maryland, one from Oregon and eight from California.
Among the eight from California are Weed High School graduates Jake West and Liam Hagarty who both saw action in Tuesday night's game.
The Eagles record now stands at 3-4 on the season with their next action coming on Dec. 1 at the Redwood Classic in Eureka.
Their next scheduled home game is set for Thursday, Jan. 17 against Redwoods at 7 p.m.
COS Tuesday night basketball: COS women win 88-51, men earn 76-63 victory

When co-hosts Mary of Beans and Caviar, Melinda of Melbourne Larder and Enza of Io Da Grande announced that March's Daring Bakers' challenge was lasagna, I thought about passing on this one. I don't usually skip any of the Daring Baker challenges, but lasagna falls outside of what I normally blog about here on Alpineberry (which is mainly pastries, baking and desserts).
I admit I have blogged about a savory tart before, but that was about making a flaky pie dough. And, yes, I blogged about pizza for the October 2008 DB challenge, but that was more about making the yeasted dough for the crust. To me, making pizza dough seems to be more like making bread. I know that the key part of this month's challenge is to make our own pasta dough, but making spinach lasagna with a béchamel sauce and meat ragu feels more like cooking than baking. I know it's a fine line. Technically something is baked if it went in the oven. I guess you can argue that pizza also straddles the line between cooking and baking. But would a roast chicken be considered baking? I mean, it's baked but is it baking? I don't know. We could argue the semantics for days.
I think our hosts may have chosen lasagna as a way to celebrate the launch of our new website The Daring Kitchen and a new group called the Daring Cooks. Yup, that's right. We're no longer just Daring Bakers anymore. We're cooks now too, hence, the new Daring Kitchen. Even though the lasagna is the Daring Bakers' challenge recipe and not the inaugural Daring Cooks' challenge recipe, I'm not going to argue with the powers that be. After some consideration, I knew I could turn this month's challenge into something that I could post on my blog. I decided to create a sweet "lasagna" dessert.
I wanted to be sure to honor the main part of this month's challenge - making the pasta dough. Instead of spinach pasta, I decided to make a sweet pistachio pasta dough. And instead of béchamel and meat ragu, I decided on a white chocolate mascarpone cream and a diced strawberry "ragu". My idea was to deep fry the sweet pasta dough and then layer it with the cream and strawberries.
I had to make up a recipe for the sweet pistachio pasta dough. Using the spinach pasta dough recipe as the basis, I omitted the spinach, decreased the amount of flour and added some sugar and pistachio paste. I used canned pistachio paste which is a mixture of ground pistachios, oil, and sugar. My dough was difficult to knead by hand and to roll out. It took some time but I managed to get the dough nice and thin. I think I built up some arm muscles working that dough. My resulting pasta dough wasn't as elastic and stretchy as traditional pasta dough, but, for the most part, it had the texture and feel of fresh pasta. The dough wasn't as green as I wanted and it lost any semblance of green after I deep fried the pasta squares.
The white chocolate mascarpone cream was very straightforward. I just made a white chocolate ganache, mixed in some mascarpone cheese, chilled the mixture and then beat it until fluffy. My ragu of strawberries was even simpler. Just dice some strawberries, toss in a bit of sugar and let them macerate for a few minutes.
The sweet lasagna dessert was pretty delicious. The fried pasta squares had just a hint of pistachio and was just sweet enough. The cream was rich and decadent and the berries were sweet and tart. It was a good combination of flavors and textures. The only thing I didn't like was my fried pasta squares were a bit crunchy so it was difficult to break through the top layer of the lasagna with a fork. The bottom two layers were easy to break since the cream and berries softened them a little. Overall, I would say it was a great success.
The March 2009 challenge is hosted by Mary of Beans and Caviar, Melinda of Melbourne Larder and Enza of Io Da Grande. They have chosen Lasagne of Emilia-Romagna from The Splendid Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper as the challenge.
To see the recipe for Lasagne of Emilia-Romagna, please visit our hosts Enza, Melinda, and Mary.
Sweet Pistachio Pasta Dough
(enough to make about 36 3x3 inch squares of pasta)
220 g all purpose flour
2 large eggs
4 tbsp pistachio paste
2 tbsp sugar
Pinch salt
Mixing the dough:
Mound the flour in the center of your work surface and make a well in the middle. Beat together the eggs, pistachio paste, sugar and salt in a bowl. Scrape mixture into the well. Then gradually start incorporating shallow scrapings of flour from the sides of the well into the liquid. As you work more and more flour into the liquid, the well's sides may collapse. Use a pastry scraper to keep the liquids from running off and to incorporate the last bits of flour into the dough. Don't worry if it looks like a hopelessly rough and messy lump.
With the aid of the scraper to scoop up unruly pieces, start kneading the dough. Once it becomes a cohesive mass, use the scraper to remove any bits of hard flour on the work surface – these will make the dough lumpy. Knead the dough for about 3 minutes. If it is too sticky to move easily, knead in some flour. Continue kneading about 5-10 minutes, or until the dough has become satiny, smooth, and very elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and let it relax at room temperature 30 minutes to 3 hours.
With a rolling pin, roll out a quarter of the dough at a time and keep the rest of the dough wrapped. Lightly sprinkle a large work surface with flour. Shape it into a ball and begin rolling out to form a circle, frequently turning the disc of dough a quarter turn. Keep rolling until the disc becomes larger and thinner. The goal is a sheet of even thickness. The sheet should be pretty thin (about 2 mm). Cut into squares about 3 by 3 inches. Repeat with remaining dough.
Fry the dough:
Heat a pan half-filled with vegetable oil to 375F. Fry the pasta squares in batches for 20-30 seconds, until golden. Carefully remove and drain on paper towels. Cool before assembly.
White Chocolate Mascarpone Cream
9 oz high quality white chocolate, finely chopped
9 oz heavy cream
12 oz container of mascarpone cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
Combine chocolate and cream in a heat proof bowl and set bowl over a pot of simmering water (or use a double boiler). Stir occasionally until chocolate is melted. Whisk in mascarpone and vanilla extract. Cover and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour. Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, beat until fluffy.
Strawberry "Ragu"
1.5 pounds strawberries
2-4 tbsp sugar
Hull and dice the strawberries. Toss with sugar. The amount of sugar you need will depend on the sweetness of your berries. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Assemble your sweet lasagna:
Top one fried pasta square with 2 tablespoons of white chocolate mascarpone cream and spread cream to cover the square. Take care not to break the pasta square. Top the cream with diced strawberries. Repeat with another layer (fried pasta, cream, strawberries). Set a fried pasta square on top and dust it with powder sugar. Serve.

The Eclipse wiki gives a good detailed overview of the various ways you can contribute to a project:
The typical contributor will go through the following steps:
- You use Scout, i.e. install it, go through tutorials, build your own Scout apps
- You will find bugs, or have ideas for your great feature.
- You provide some public feedback
- Read/ask questions on the Scout Scout Forum
- Report these bugs/enhancements via Scout bugzilla
- Eventually, you might want to speed up bug fixing by providing patches
- Getting enthusiastic enough, you will contribute many valuable, high quality patches for Scout bugs/enhancements
- Now is the time to start the committer election process :-)
Opening new Bugs
1) Before you do anything related to bugs please have a look at the Eclipse Bugzilla FAQ.
2) Before you open a new Scout bug, please try to scan through the known bugs to verify that you are not reporting a bug that is already known for Eclipse Scout.
For your convenience a number of links are provided below:
Bug Report Quality Matters
High quality bug reports help to quickly understand/analyze/fix bugs. Bad quality bug reports lead to poor developer morale and slow down everything.
Good quality bug reports often feature many of the following things:
- Well organized description
- Clear distinction between observed behaviour and expected behaviour
- Steps to reproduce
- Stack traces
- Screenshots
- Source file and line numbers from attempts to locate the source of the bug
Lack of any of the above characteristics is considered poor quality. A drastic example (taken from [1]) reads as follows:
- I wand to create a new plugin in Eclipse using CDT. Shall it possible.
- I had made a R&D in eclipse documentation. I had get an idea about create a
- plugin using Java. But i wand to create a new plugin ( user defined plugin )
- using CDT. After that I wand to impliment it in my programe. If it possible?.
- Any one can help me please...
[1] Nicolas Bettenburg et al. "Quality of bug reports in Eclipse", Proceedings of the 2007 OOPSLA workshop on eclipse technology eXchange, 2007
Good guidelines on how to write a bug may be found here:
Open a Scout bug
When you cannot find an existing bug, feel free to open a new bug:
Please also read the text below that introduces some Scout specific aspects of bug writing
Choose the proper Component and Version
Select the component according to the following criteria
- Scout: Scout Runtime bugs, or anyting else that you are not sure what component to choose
- Scout SDK: Bugs in the Scout SDK, e.g. wizards that create code that won't compile
- Scout Docs: Bugs on www.eclipse.org/scout, wiki.eclipse.org/scout, and any other public communication regarding Scout
Choose the Scout version that you are having the issue with. For the Scout coming with Indigo this would be 3.7.0.
Use a decent Summary line
Helps a lot to identify the bug in a large list of bugs. Good example: SWT: Columns with an active filter should be identifiable. Bad example: Layout.
In case the bug relates to a specific Scout runtime UI please use one of the following prefixes:
- Swing:: For bugs specific to the Scout Swing UI
- SWT:: For bugs specific to the Scout SWT UI
Bug Life Cycle
Consult the Eclipse wiki for a diagram showing the possible bug live cycles.
Typical Life Cycle
- New
- Assigned
- Resolved (Fixed)
- Verified
- Closed
Some notes:
- Status 'Assigned' may be skipped
- For a bug in status 'Resolved' the 'Target Milestone' must be specified
- If a patch contributed by a non-committer is applied, set the iplog flag to '+' and follow the guidelines in section below
- Ideally, the implementation/Fix is verified by the person opening the bug
- If bug and implementation is from the same person, someone else should verify the bug
- Bugs are closed by Scout project leads after a release is shipped
Contributing Patches
Please create a Bugzilla entry with a patch attached.
To successfully contribute you also have to follow the Eclipse legal guidelines.
Specifically, you need to:
- make sure the patch doesn't contain cryptography
- make sure the patch is written from scratch
- make sure the patch is submitted under the EPL
- make sure the change is less than 250 lines of code
Special cases
- If you're employed outside of bsi, you will need to explicitly confirm all above points in the bugzilla ticket
- If your contribution is larger than 250 lines of code we need to fill in a contribution questionnaire and open a corresponding IPZilla bug
- If the licence is not EPL we will need to have this verified (e.g GPL is a no-go)
Development IDE Configuration
Scout has Java 5.0 and Eclipse Platform 3.5 as minimum requirements, so dependencies to newer Java and platform versions must be avoided.
In order to minimize the inadvertent introduction of dependencies to Java 6.0, add both a Java5 and a Java 6 SDK to your workspace. Do this in Window/Preferences -> Java/Installed JREs. Then configure your Execution Environments so that J2SE-1.5 refer to a Java 5 SDK and JavaSE-1.6 refer to a Java 6 installation.
If you are using OS X Snow Leopard, then Java 5 is hard to find. Using the search button in Eclipse will tell you that you have a 1.5.0 version of Java. That is probably a lie. It is just a link to 1.6. Fortunately some nice guys have made a download that you may use. Follow these instructions to download and installl a real Java 5. You do not need to make it default. Downloading, unpacking and fixing the version links is enough.
Getting the Scout Sources
You may download the Eclipse Scout source code from eclipse.org
Alternatively, you may browse the SVN repository online

The clock is ticking—it's time to check back in on our nominees—a little refresher before the main event. Just a reminder that, with the exception of the Reader's Choice award which was voted on by all of you, all these nominations are made by the pro snowboarders themselves—a peer vote.
Men's Rider of the Year
A title clinched by Wolle Nyvelt in 2008, held by Shaun White before him, and multiple times by Kevin Jones before then—who will win the title this year?
Travis Rice
Jake Blauvelt
Gigi Rüf
Women's Rider of the Year
The big award of the night for the ladies—will it be four-time nominee Torah Bright, maybe it's Jamie Anderson's year after last winter's park blasting performances, or has everyone fallen under the spell of Marie-France's rail rallies? This just might be the heaviest roll call we've ever seen in the women's ROTY.
Torah Bright
Jamie Anderson
Marie-France Roy
Men's Video Part of the Year
Already we've got to give props to That's It, That's All and Forum's heroic return to team movies with Forum Or Against 'Em, but which of these three riders will bring home the ice block?
Travis Rice: Brainfarm/That's It, That's All
Pat Moore: Forum/Forum Or Against 'Em
Jake Blauvelt: Forum/Forum Or Against 'Em
Women's Video Part of the Year
Once again, so much diversity in this category—Annie Boulanger wrecks shop in the backcountry ala Victoria Jealouse, while Marie-France breaks new urban ground coast to coast, and Natasza Zurek continues to silently destroy everything in her path. But who have the riders chosen?
Annie Boulanger: Absinthe/Ready
Marie-France Roy: Rome/No Correct Way
Natasza Zurek: Runway/See What I See
Men's Rookie of the Year
Check out that lineup, new names for sure. Louif and Lucas both made names for themselves with webisodes and full parts in These Days—but Louif and Lucas' riding styles and background couldn't be more different—Louif from the right coast of Canada and Lucas from the underbelly of Mt. Baker. Icelandic viking Eiki unilaterally flushed out the rad filming with Rome.
Louif Paradis
Eiki Helgason
Lucas Debari
Women's Rookie of the Year
Pelosi's pretege' Raewyn, has been doing her thing with the Runway crew the last few years, but it looks like her progressive moves have finally caught the attention of her peers. Bev V. took it to the next level last month at the Breck Dew Tour Slopestyle, but she was doing damage on the competition circuit well before then. And Ellery also had her moment on the podium at the Mount Snow Dew Tour Superpipe, but this fierce competitor is no stranger to victory in competition.
Raewyn Reid
Bev Vuilleumier
Ellery Hollingsworth
Standout of the Year
It means just that—who did something that captured and symbolized the year? Last year it was Terje Haakonsen's quarterpipe air, the year before it was David Benedek's next level moves, Who had what it takes this year?
Travis Rice—for his super-human performance in That's It, That's All.
Gigi Rüf—for his three video parts in one year!
Johan Olofsson—for his NoBoarding exploits documented in Standard's Aesthetica.
Men's Reader's Choice
Eiki Helgason
Scott Lago
Travis Rice
Women's Reader's Choice
Jamie Anderson
Desiree Melancon
Marie-France Roy

Welcome Home CPL Zachary Parker
On March 28, 2017 CPL Zachary Parker and his wife Misty were welcomed home to their new smart home in Moss Bluff, Louisiana.
The smart home was built as part of the Tunnel to Towers' Building for America's Bravest program which builds smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans like Parker who lost both legs and his right arm in Afghanistan in 2012 when he stepped on a dismounted IED while on route clearance patrol. The smart home is custom built to make Zachary's life more independent by equipping the home with technology tailored to suit his specific needs. Functions of the home are controlled via iPad, every last detail, down to the hard surface floors throughout, are meant to make Parker able to navigate with ease.
(Pictured above, in bottom right picture, from left to right: Randy Freeman, Ray & Lin Lyons from Beaumont Carpet One Floor & Home, Keith & Dana Hooper from Jay's Carpet One Floor & Home, Amanda Dumont - Regional Membership Consultant from Carpet One Floor & Home corporate).
Jay's Carpet One Floor & Home of Deridder, LA and Beaumont Carpet One Floor & Home of Beaumont, TX donated the flooring installation throughout the home.

Wank Party 2011 #4 features Petr Cizmar, Joey Intenso, Tomas Friedel, Jindra Poruba and Ruslan Tarovsky. These are guys with really great bodies who are having a training session, led my Petr. He takes them through a series of stretching exercises,and wrestling positions before demonstrating some kick boxing maneuvers. Having warmed up sufficiently Petr then gets naked and instructs the others to do the same. Then as Petr watches on the other guys, all naked start more wrestling positions, which inevitable leads to Joey and Tomas shoving their dicks in Dmitry and Jindras mouths. This turn of events goes very well with some great sucking including 69s. Then with Joey and Tomas really up for it they decide to slip it to Jindra and Dmitry. Joey is a great top and, in his first time topping for us Tomas does a great job too. Both Jindra and Dmitry bottom for both guys before they each receive some great facials,with Petr, who has been rock hard as watches all the action, delivering a massive load to Dmitry.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
A wonderful shoot with Tomas and Jakub. Jakub had already done some shoots when he brought his friend into casting. They told us that they both needed money, so it seemed right and proper to invite them both into the studio for a shoot.They weren't too happy at the prospect which we only informed them about when they arrived in the studio. But once they got over the shock, the both got very nice stiffies. The guys start off undressing each other and then get some oil and takes turns in oiling each other. Then they massage each others bodies, first Jakub massages Tomas and then the roles are reversed. When Tomas starts to play with Jakub he gets very hard. Finally they sit on the couch and jack each other, before giving us the money shots. It is great to see friends who are happy to help each other out in this 60 minute video.

Already during Phase I the project was managed jointly by the city of Zurich and by the Kunsthaus Zurich. The extension's partners (the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, the Stiftung Kunsthaus Zürich, and the city of Zurich) issued a joint statement of intent stressing the project's great significance and setting out the details of their collaboration. Their objective: to build an extension to the Kunsthaus.
The importance of the project was further emphasized by the active presence on the steering committee of leading figures representing the partners: Walter B. Kielholz, Christoph Becker, Thomas Wagner, Corine Mauch (replaces Elmar Ledergerber) and Kathrin Martelli.
In addition, the project enjoyed a prominent place on the municipal council's 2006-2010 legislative agenda.
The Steering Committee (SC), the body with ultimate authority, makes strategic decisions, assigns responsibility, and procures and allocates the necessary resources. Its diverse network proved invaluable during the initial phase, and it was the source of the project's ambition and 'drive'.
The active presence on the SC of leading figures representing all three partners serves as a guarantee of the body's effectiveness.
Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft/Kunsthaus Zürich
Walter B. Kielholz (President of the ZKG since 2002, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Credit Suisse Group, and Delegate of the Board of Directors of Swiss Re) is the leading representative of the Kunstgesellschaft, and is responsible for raising its membership to over 20,000.
Christoph Becker (Director of the Kunsthaus since July of 2000) increased footfall during the renovation to 300,000 visitors annually and has secured the cooperation of celebrated partners (MoMA, Tate, Royal Academy et al.). On his initiative and under his aegis, the contents of the new Kunsthaus are being defined, and thus providing the foundation for all further development.
Martin Wetter (banker, charged with finances on the Board of the Kunstgesellschaft) lends his experience to the core team and heads the financing/fundraising module.
Stiftung Zürcher Kunsthaus
Thomas Wagner (President of the Stiftung Zürcher Kunsthaus [SZKH], former Municipal Councillor and former Mayor of Zurich) manages the properties in use by the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft and kept the renovation on time and on budget. He contributed significantly to the success of the vote on the renovation loan in 2000.
City of Zurich
Elmar Ledergerber (Mayor) oversees the city's political process and personally provides a top-level liaison between city and canton. And of course, he also ensures constructive collaboration on the part of the entire city administration.
Kathrin Martelli (Municipal Councillor, Head of Zurich's Department of Structural Engineering) represents the expertise of the DSE, which is of ultimate significance to the project's high-quality implementation. Franz Eberhard, Martelli's Director of the Town Planning Office, represents his office on the core team. Both Martelli and Eberhard supply the project with experienced professionals from the Department of Structural Engineering (DSE) and coordinate the collaboration of the Town Planning Office (TPO), the Office for Building and Construction (OBC), and the Mayor's Office (MO).
The core team and project management coordinate the collaboration of the various individual modules, in practical matters as well as scheduling, and monitor overall planning of all operational activities. They provide the SC with the material required for decision-making and, where necessary, involve key figures affected by the project. Project management is suppied by the Kunsthaus.
The project modules (contents, architecture/urban planning, financing and communications) are headed by proven experts from the Kunsthaus and the city of Zurich, who are charged with implementing the strategic and operational objectives as set out by the SC and the core team. In turn, the modules are themselves supplied with basic documents necessary for their decision-making (such as concepts and possible courses of action).

Spring Cleaning Forget Me Nots with Julie Edelman, The Accidental Housewife
by: Julie Edelman, The Accidental Housewife.
Often we overlook areas in our home that aren't the obvious spring cleaning must dos so here are a few that you should do and forget ye not! Happy Spring!!
Houseplants are a great natural air freshener and purifier as I mentioned. But if they aren't dusted off and cleaned, they are harbingers of molds and dust that worsen allergies. So peel that banana, remove the stringy stuff and use the inside to dust and shine. Combine A 50/50 white vinegar or vodka (my preference) and water solution in a spray bottle to remove white mold dust and keep it from coming back.
While you're cleaning out your cabinets for items that are expired don't overlook those dried goods i.e. grains, rice, cereal and flour sacks which may contain mealy bugs. Often these microscopic bugs are a gift with purchase you bring home from your fave supermarket. And, while they may be high on protein they're not what you wanna be crunching on in you bowl of cereal or rice. To get rid of them:
- Wipe shelves by spraying with a 1:2 rubbing alcohol to water solution and dry thoroughly
- Put all new dried goods in air –tight containers
- Place a book of matches on top of sealed containers as a precaution. Apparently they aren't smokers. The sulfur acts as a deterrent.
A Bundy Best. Tang was a favorite drink of Astronauts and kids, is a terrific dishwasher cleaner that breaks down hard water stains, gunk, soap scum and funky odors. So fill your detergent dispenser to the brim with Tang. Run through a regular hot water cycle. And, as you do get din din going by steaming up a yummy salmon dish whose recipe follows. Please note: recipe is per filet.
- Place a pat of butter, splash of white wine, teaspoon of caper and salt 'n pepper to taste
- Wrap tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil
- Run for one complete cycle with the TANG filled-dispenser. Please note dishwashers like ovens clean/cook differently so check for doneness!
- Sip n enjoy with bubbly (non-soapy J )

Further investigations, presentation of findings, and the organization and hosting of a colloquium on 'Aesthetic interventions on Giacometti's plaster sculptures'
June 2012 started with a highlight: The team visited Paris, Alberto Giacometti's second home. On the first day of the trip, Hubert Lacroix, owner of the Fonderie Susse, gave us a guided tour of his famous foundry. It was here that, from 1953 onwards, Giacometti chose to have his bronze casts produced. We were lucky to see this historical place one last time, because shortly after our visit the foundry moved to another building. The team spent the next couple of days at the Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti. In addition to housing many of Giacometti's famous sculptures, the Fondation is also the most important source of material relevant to research on Giacometti, such as letters, invoices and photographs. Discussions with director Véronique Wiesinger during our visit enabled us to resolve – at least to a certain extent – several hitherto unsolved questions and areas of speculation. The team returned to Zurich with many new insights and impressions, ready to continue its work on researching Giacometti's plaster works.
In September 2012 we examined and evaluated our findings of the previous two years. In autumn the results were presented in a small exhibition that was aimed at both experts and laypersons. Besides providing visitors with information on the technical aspects of our findings, the exhibition was also intended to serve as a discussion forum. Discussions held concurrently with the exhibition contributed to the decision-making process for the second part of the project. Up to now the conservators have had access to a rich treasure trove of traces and material from the investigations of more than 70 plaster works. This has helped to clarify questions regarding production processes, and the function and history of the plaster sculptures. In almost all cases it could be established how the plaster works were produced and whether – and if so, how – they were subsequently (re)used by Giacometti or others. Moreover, many technical preferences decided on during the production procedures can now be confirmed. These can be attributed either to Alberto, or his brother Diego (who mainly produced plaster sculptures from clay models), or one of the foundries.
From the beginning of October 2012, these findings and others relating to the artist's working techniques, subsequent use of plaster forms, material identification and the x-ray investigations were presented together with about a dozen plaster sculptures. The exhibition proved so popular among visitors that after the official closing in February it was reinstalled at a different location in the Kunsthaus, where it is still on show.
Shortly after the opening of this exhibition the team concentrated on another important task: the organisation of a colloquium aimed at presenting the project's most important findings and its restoration concept to an expert committee. Our primary concern in outlining the restoration concept was to make the decision-making process transparent and comprehensible.
On 25 February 2013, Christoph Becker, Director of the Kunsthaus, opened the colloquium on Giacometti's plaster sculptures. About 20 specialists from around Europe found their way to Zurich. Colleagues and art historians from Switzerland, Italy and France, as well as members of the Giacometti Foundation in Paris, were welcomed to the colloquium. A PowerPoint presentation in the morning and another in the afternoon informed the participants about the state of research and the next stage of the project. The subsequent discussions were conducted in a passionate but constructive spirit. The whole day was filmed and will form part of the documentation of the project. Ideas and suggestions that arose during this important and very interesting day were subsequently integrated into the restoration concept. In April this concept was presented to, and approved by, the Giacometti Foundation in Zurich.
Between now and the end of the project, the conservation and restoration measures that will be implemented will correspond to those defined in the restoration concept.

This jester watched "Who Do You Think You Are" (WDYTYA). I was touched and enjoyed the first episode. I hope all interested parties do not get the impression that genealogy is so easy or so fast. Perhaps it was not emphasized, but there about a half dozen of genealogical researchers (who appeared on film — I am sure there were more behind the scenes), who handle the various specialties: California, Gold Rush, New England, Salem Witch Trials, Cincinnati OH/ Germans. I think that demonstrates that you need various skills in various areas and no one genealogist can possibly know it all or be the efficient in areas outside of his/her specialization. I learned some things and look forward to learning more about areas outside my own sphere of expertise.
I hope the WDYTYA will slog through the many blogs and find hints. So, here are two suggestions that I thought of as I watched that can help add even more connections to those watching.
Suggestion 1.
There were opportunities to connect to others (as possible sequels/foreshadowing) and just being literate. For example, I like to occasionally do some genealogy on literati. So I have looked into Nathaniel Hawthorne's genealogy. His book the "Scarlet Letter" about the Salem trials would have been such a good side bar note. Not because I want useless trivia to clutter up the show, but because Hawthorne's ancestor was one of the judge's. They could have shown his ancestor's name and connected Sara Jessica Parker to Hawthorne in this odd sort of juxtaposition that would have added something for Sara and for those watching. Indeed it drove Hawthorne to write the story and caused him to alter his family name(to an alternative spelling) — another good lesson to budding genealogists.
Suggestion 2.
Give the genealogists, researchers, archivists/archives, and historical sites 30 seconds on the film listing them and put their info one the website too (not just the celebrities). A "Thank you to…" still shot listing all of the above and an audio directing viewers to the web site page for more info on these people.
Go to the web site and check out the "about" and exclusive "menus", in particular the "did you know" menu selection.
Random Musing #2
Did you know there have been approximately, 106 Billion people on this planet over all time? So in theory we'd only need slightly less than 37 generations in our tree to have everyone in our family tree. Of course, that would mean we'd have all people in the family tree before we even went back in time to the Norman Conquest (1066). Obviously there were people before that time. Why doesn't the math work? As you go back in time, you should see some people appearing multiple places in the tree. So perhaps we need more than 37 generations to all be related.
For those with a scientific mindset, we find in genetics that the genealogical "Eve", appeared about 200,000 years ago. Oddly enough, the genealogical Adam, appeared only 60,000 years ago. Apparently, he killed off or somehow prevented all previous others from passing on their male DNA. Just so people do not get the idea that partho-genesis did not occur for 140,000 years before male DNA appeared or wonder why that gap. Let's work with the 200,000 year number. Assuming each generation is about 20 years (Baby Boomers are 1946-1964, a nineteen year span) then we should need 10,000 generations. Just so we are on the same page: Genealogical Eve and Adam are homo sapiens, not any of the other prior prototypes of humanity. That is why we are not talking of millions of years, but only 200,000 years. I once read that the aboriginal Australians believe they have a genealogical tree of 48,000 generations (and they kept track of them!!!). That does not seem to match with the current thoughts that they have resided on Australia for a mere 50,000 years. It does seem unreasonable to have a generation each and every year. This jester once met a man at a recent genealogical conference who claimed he had traced his genealogy back to King David(with source documents of evidence). Forgive me for doubting, but I did wonder, but did not give voice to my skepticism nor voice the obvious question of why, he could not take his genealogy back to Adam, son of God. The rest of David's genealogy is recorded in the Bible.
Go read a good book!

Preparing for SurgeryPreparing For Surgery - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
As with any type of surgery, there are certain preparations that need to take place. Determining what preparations are necessary will depend on what type of surgery that will be performed and the type of anesthesia that will be administered. The following are considerations for you to discuss with your doctor or surgeon prior to your procedure:
Ask the surgeon to explain the benefits, risks, and expectations of the procedure.
Discuss what type of anesthesia will be administered and what recovery time is expected.
Inform your doctor of any medications (over-the-counter or prescription) you are currently taking, as well as any prior procedures, history of chronic illnesses, and/or allergies you may have.
Be sure to stop drinking and eating for the recommended time period before and/or after surgery.
Be sure to follow any specific preoperative bathing, shaving, or cleaning instructions.
Be sure to discuss any postoperative instructions that need to be followed (for example, changing dressings, post-op medications, follow-up appointments).
Do not wear makeup the day of surgery, including nail polish.
Do not wear eye contacts the day of surgery.
Leave valuables and jewelry at home.
Advise the medical staff of dentures or other prosthetic devices you may be wearing.
Be sure to arrange all insurance coverage prior to surgery, as many insurance carriers do not cover many types of plastic surgery procedures (particularly cosmetic procedures).
Be sure to arrange a ride home after your procedure.

[ALT: Or love in general, for that matter. It just leads to the idea that either your love is pure, perfect, and eternal, and you are storybook-compatible in every way with no problems, or you're LYING when you say 'I love you'. (sic)]
I'm going to be frank with you. I don't recall ever being so utterly surprised by a comic as this one--especially the alt text. I have never finished reading one and sitting back and thinking "Holy shit" like I have here. This one just blew me away with how fucking terrible it is. I didn't think Randy could stoop to that level.
We've all made fun of his creepy romance comics before--the ones which are all bleak and depressing and about things ending in despair, but those always felt like he was at least going for artful, like if you squinted and looked at it kind of sideways it wasn't expressing the author's sentiments. He distanced himself from them, kind of. There was plausible deniability. Not so for this one! This reads straight up like the rant of a man who just got dumped hardcore, and is pissed about it. (Note: I think it's dumped, not rejected. Hopefully the reasons will become clear.)
We'll start with the comic, which on its own I might have found unremarkable--here we have the implication that all relationships based on common interests are shallow as all get-out, and entirely misleading! (I will not make any snide remarks about how Randy frequently romanticizes people based solely on things they are into. I am above that sort of thing.) Do you hear me? You're fooling yourself into thinking that liking the same things means you'll have any connection with someone, because, uh, other people like the same things, too, and you aren't dating all of THEM, are you??
Nevermind that information like "your favorite song/your interests" tends to be material for first dates, or the first couple dates, and isn't the basis for entire relationships. But it's pretty easy to have a conversation about your favorite bands, if you aren't a complete idiot, and traditionally the way we get to know someone is by having conversations with them.
And then we get to the alt text. Oh man, the alt text. This is your textbook nerd-gets-dumped sour grapes. "Love is stupid anyway, because when I said I love you she dumped me and that means that love doesn't last forever so why should I even want love because it's all dumb?" It is, of course, entirely unconvincing--he desperately wants that connection, that storybook perfection, and it shows--but he's trying so fucking hard to act like he's SO OVER this love thing, it's stupid and he doesn't even understand it, GOD people are so much dumber than computers!
This is the part that really shocked me with its hideousness. This isn't striving for deep, or artful, or funny. This is just straight up "either your love is 100% storybook perfect or you're a LYING LIARFACE." It's a tantrum, put in a place where he knows he'll get his legion of loyal fans to read it and say "OMG SO TRUE," despite its lack of profundity, its offensive simplicity, its complete lack of saying anything but "I lack the emotional maturity to handle my breakups in an adult way."
This is the sort of thing that should only appeal to emotionally stunted self-diagnosed Aspies who congratulate themselves on their poor understanding of social dynamics, thinking that they are profound realizations that pierce the veil of dishonesty that shroud all human interactions. It only gets worse if Randy isn't being sincere, since it means he's just cynically exploiting people who don't know any better--letting them assume that because he says something they agree with that he has a level of profound genius. He ought to be fucking ashamed of himself.
...actually, I take it all back. Randy knows his target audience fucking perfectly.
