Today my blog celebrates its one-year birthday. This has to be some kind of record for me, because while I have started countless journals in my life, I have never written enough to keep them going for more than a couple of months before I abandon them to other pursuits.
But blogging has been different. I have posted something just about every month. Some months more than others, but baby steps, right? I didn't know it then, but when I started this blog shortly before my birthday last year I thought I was checking something off my bucket list, and fulfilling this little writing fantasy of mine. It turns out this blog has been more than that to me. Besides finally being able to say that I "write," blogging has taught me a few more things about myself:
1) I am creative.
When I was younger I would make doll clothes, do needlework, knit, and craft. I would write short stories, and poetry. Over the years I stopped being creative. Except for the occasional scrap booking party, or kid's school project I stopped making things, I stopped creating. I also stopped writing. Maybe it was when I realized there was a lot of technical craft to it. As much perspiration as inspiration, perhaps? Maybe it was later when my writing was critiqued for poor grammar, and misplaced commas. Whatever. I stopped enjoying it, so I stopped doing it. Blogging has helped me remember of how much I enjoy being creative. And how a little perspiration isn't such a bad thing after all.
2) I have something to say.
It may not be profound, or funny or amusing, or even interesting, but in my blog I get to say it. Enough said.
3) If you write it they will come.
Even though I had something to say, would anyone listen? I mean, besides my husband who has to listen to me. Based on some of your comments and my growing number of subscribers, someone out there is listening. Thank you.
3) I am (more) present.
My day flies by with work, kids, family, and chores. I am in a state of constant motion and I rarely stop to appreciate a moment, to capture a thought or preserve a memory. Blogging has allowed me pause and take it all in. Sometimes my thoughts and ideas are fleeting and they leave my mind before I capture it in a post, but more often now I find myself jotting it down and taking time to preserve these thoughts and construct words and phrases about an experience or event in my life and the life of my family.
4) There is community in the blogosphere.
Sure, virtual contact is not the same as human contact but I have built some relationships with other bloggers just by reading and commenting on their blogs. Blogging also has given me a reason to attend blogger events and meet some of the bloggers whose blogs I've read, which leads me to my next point…
6) Its a small world after all.
The world is a lot smaller than we think. A few of the bloggers I've met ended up living only a few miles from me!
6) You can teach an old dog, new tricks.
Before I started blogging I was pretty good at navigating my way around MS Word and surfing the net, but launching my own blog? I did not know the first thing about it. Well, it turns out am not as technologically challenged as I thought I was. I have actually had to learn two blogging platforms. I started out on Posterous and then moved to WordPress. Even though WordPress blogging platform is user friendly, it took me over a month from the time I decided to launch my blog and actually posting something. My husband teased that you would have thought I was launching a major website. In reality, I was working up my confidence and familiarizing myself with WordPress. Now that I have been doing this for a year I have learned just enough to be dangerous and throw out words like, URL, domain name, posts, tags, RSS feed.
So, that's my year in review. I hope you've enjoyed something here at my blog. I know I have enjoyed doing it. I look forward to writing more posts and hearing from you with your comments and subscriptions. Thanks for stopping by and sharing this anniversary with me.
Here are a few of my top posts from the past year:

PAOLO Di Canio snuck into the County Ground in the dead of night to retrieve mementos of his time at Swindon Town, the Advertiser understands.
The Italian, who left the club on Monday, still had a set of keys to get into the stadium and is believed to have been caught on CCTV returning to his office at around 1am on Thursday.
The Adver has learnt that Di Canio removed pictures from the walls of his office which documented his success at the club.
While Di Canio formally confirmed his resignation on Monday, in a statement released to the Advertiser he revealed that it has not been officially accepted by the Swindon board.
He said: "The club have still not responded to my letter of resignation of 12th February."
Di Canio's representatives were not available for comment on Thursday night.

NEW YORK, NY - November 19, 2009 - Bravo and Patti Stanger are back together and going strong for a third season of the hit docu-series "The Millionaire Matchmaker," premiering Tuesday, January 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Stanger will stop at nothing to build her matchmaking empire - her business is flourishing, she has a successful book under her belt and is now hosting her own radio advice show. But after years of helping others find love, Stanger herself finally seals the deal. She and her longtime love, Andy Friedman, are engaged at last.
"The Millionaire Matchmaker" follows Stanger and her dogged staff as they give their big-bucks clients complete transformations with the help of personal shoppers, date coaches and therapists. In each episode, two wealthy clients are set up on dates hand-picked by Stanger based upon their beauty and intelligence.
In the third season, Stanger once again takes on a selection of millionairesses and gay clients. Plus, millionaires past will come back to haunt Stanger, notably Shauna Raisch who caused a stir last season due to a very tense and uncomfortable exchange with the matchmaker. But Stanger remains unfazed by it all, whipping her millionaires into shape even with a full plate of her own as she makes plans for her upcoming nuptials.
Stanger is known for navigating her business dealings with intense passion - she may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those that do turn to Stanger for help in the love department, she gives them nothing less than her heart and soul in a sincere quest to find them their match. An experienced third-generation matchmaker, Stanger founded her company Millionaire's Club in January 2000. Previously, Stanger was the Director of Marketing for Great Expectations, the largest and oldest dating service in the United States. Her bluntness continues to garner her infamy - but no one can deny that Stanger has one of the biggest hearts in the matchmaking field.
Returning this season is her Vice President of Matching, Chelsea Autumn and her Chief Operating Officer, Destin Pfaff. Also back is Pfaff's fianc�e, Rachel, the Millionaire's Club's Director of Registration, as the first time parents head into season three.
Intuitive Entertainment and Bayonne Entertainment produce the series for Bravo. Kevin Dill, Mechelle Collins and Rob Lee serve as executive producers.
Bravo is a program service of NBC Universal Cable Entertainment, a division of NBC Universal, one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience. Bravo has been an NBC Universal cable network since December 2002 and was the first television service dedicated to film and the performing arts when it launched in December 1980.

STAIRWAY TO TROUBLE: Emily Browning (left) and Arielle Kebbel are headed for trouble in 'The Uninvited.'
Night Nurse
Elizabeth Banks stands out in horror remake 'The Uninvited'
By Richard von Busack
HAVING STRIPPED the poetry out of the Ji-woon Kim's distinguished 2003 Korean horror film A Tale of Two Sisters, the Yank remake, The Uninvited (by British directors Charles and Thomas Guard) provides a standard but amusing shock machine. It delivers a couple of genuine spinal-glissandos. The best of these tingles is provided by Maya Massar as a mother who won't stay dead; Massar uses the ever-effective trick of moving very slowly and smiling her head off. Why do we fear the dead, when they're so nice and so glad to see us? The Uninvited is old-fashioned enough to work an imitation Bernard Herrmann soundtrack, to creaking doors, to a flash of an untrustworthy mirror and to a disfigured ghost hissing "Murder!" In the mental hospital where she's recovering from a suicide attempt, Anna (Emily Browning) has a recurring nightmare about her terminally ill mother and the night she perished in a fiery explosion. The details include quivering 35-gallon trash bags full of semidead humans; one figure is a spectral red-haired girl who looks like a shrunken and anemic Tilda Swinton. Anna's useless psychiatrist calms her by saying, "We survive by remembering, but sometimes we survive by forgetting." That, of course, is the motto of the modern horror filmmaker.
Anna returns home to her father's place on the coast of Maine. Widowed dad Steven (David Strathairn) has taken up with Rachael (Elizabeth Banks), a handsome working-class blonde who got kicked upstairs from nurse to mistress. Rachael was on duty the night Mom went up in flames. Also waiting for Anna is her wilder sister, Alex (Arielle Kebbel); she hasn't been too distracted by beach parties and boys to watch the situation develop. In her opinion, Rachael "helps Dad cope. Three times a night."
As Rachael, the former nurse, Banks turns in another keen performance; she keeps the inflections down and lets the audience pick up on the nuances. "My first order of business is to fatten her up," she says of Anna. Banks says this so coolly that it's a second or two before the audience remembers Hansel and Gretel. Banks' best scene—in some ways the film's best scene—gets good and close to Buñuel's Diary of a Chambermaid, when Rachael is in a malt shop telling Anna, very levelly, how disgusting it was being a nurse.
Browning, who plays the poor haunted girl, was Violet from Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events. Now legally of age, she's smoothly and vacantly pretty, with large cushiony lips. (Banks gives us a little lesbian shock by applying some lipstick on the girl, a process that takes a moment because there's so much surface area to cover.) Unfortunately, Anna doesn't look like someone who just got out of the mental hospital; she doesn't smoke, for instance. In the original Korean film, with its old-world, silent family, no one could be trusted. The downcast daughter was isolated from her father. What one misses is the original film's simple moment of tragic recognition between the sisters; an effect as simple as an offstage clap of thunder.
THE UNINVITED (PG-13; 87 min.), directed by Charles and Thomas Guard, written by Craig Rosenberg, Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard, photographed by Dan Landin and starring Emily Browning and Elizabeth Banks, plays valleywide.

Evernote's popular note-taking technology has recently moved to release version 4.0 with some major structural changes in terms of the technology's previous adherence to Microsoft .NET and the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), versus native code.
The company says that Evernote 4 is a major departure from Evernote 3.5 in every way, but that there were some problems that it simply couldn't fix while using Windows .NET and WPF.
According to Evernote's official blog announcement, "The blurry fonts, slow startup times, large memory footprint, and poor support for certain graphics cards were all issues that the technology behind 3.5 was incapable of resolving. As a result, we ended up chasing down platform bugs rather than adding the great features our users wanted."
Evernote says that it decided to start over from scratch and use speedier native C++ code that it felt it could rely on.
Writing on his "IT Writing" software application development blog, British journalist Tim Anderson says that the WPF as part of Windows Vista was originally intended to be the main GUI API for Windows, until the notorious "reset" midway through the Vista development cycle marked a retreat from managed code back to native code in the operating system.
So what are the lessons here? Is WPF no good asks Anderson?
"It is not so simple. WPF is brilliant in many ways, offering the productivity of .NET coding and a powerful layout framework. However, it was a technology which Microsoft itself hardly used in its key products, Windows and Office — a warning sign," suggests Anderson.
"When Microsoft built Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0, the development team used WPF for the Visual Studio shell. This move by an internal team to create such a complex product in WPF was good for the framework itself. The font issue was addressed, performance improved. Evernote might not have found all its issues fixed in version 4.0, but it would likely have been better," adds Anderson.
Balancing his argument, Anderson finishes by saying that if a development team faced with these predicaments lacks the resources to build WPF-equivalent functionality in native code, then there may be another way without abandoning .NET — since Silverlight has many of the features of WPF, is lightweight, and runs on the Mac as well as Windows.

Snow didn�t stop the Turkey Trot this year. The fourth-annual Major Edwards Elementary School fitness walk and fundraiser was held successfully this year, after taking a year off due to inclement weather.
The event is a one-mile run or walk that started as a way of introducing healthy habits to the children in Deanna Flibbert�s physical education class, while also raising money to extend the rock wall in the school�s gymnasium.
�The kids run the mile. The adults can run or walk,� Flibbert said. �The nice thing is, they all come together as a community and as a school and they have fun doing it.�
There is also a community service aspect to the Trot, since participants are asked to donate items to the West Boylston Food Pantry. This year, that aspect of the event was expanded to a �service-learning opportunity,� Principal Marjorie McCarthy said .
In past years, the Turkey Trot was held in conjunction with a half-day at school. This year, because there was no school on the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving, Flibbert said the event was moved to later in the afternoon.
That timing only lent to the usually excitable atmosphere, with numerous children dancing, playing football and wrestling in preparation for their mile-long run.
�This is the first time it is at night,� Flibbert said. �Being under the lights is cool for them.�
There is also the health benefits, she noted. The children prepare for the Turkey Trot in gym classes, during which they run two laps, which is half-a-mile.
In regard to the fundraising, Flibbert said she is hoping for an additional 20-feet for the climbing wall. Overall, the school was about $2,500 away from making that happen, she said. And that was before last week�s $5 entry fees were counted.
According to the Flibbert, more than 100 families had pre-registered for the event at the Goodale Park track and multi-purpose field. More took advantage of the on-the-field registration just prior to the event.
Don�t expect the completion of the wall to be the end of the Turkey Trot, however. Flibbert said she would like to see the annual event continue, possibly as a fundraiser for other school or charitable needs.
�It really is a great event to get everyone together, especially with so many people back (in West Boylston) for the holiday,� she said. �We�ll find something else to give money to.�

Pittman-Robertson Act
- Pittman–Robertson Act is the popular name for the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act.
- Named for the senators who sponsored the bill, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the act into law in 1937.
- The act helps fund the selection, restoration, and improvement of wildlife habitat and also wildlife management research.
- Amended in 1970, the act now also funds hunter education programs and the development and operation of public target ranges.
- Funds come from an 11% federal excise tax on sporting arms, ammunition, and archery equipment, and a 10% tax on handguns. One-half of the excise tax on handguns and archery equipment is used for hunter education and target ranges. The Department of the Interior collects these funds from the manufacturers and each year distributes funding to the states and territorial areas.
- Fund distribution is based on the area of each state and its number of licensed hunters. The state covers the full amount of an approved project and then applies for reimbursement through federal aid for up to 75% of the project's expenses; the state is responsible for the other 25% of the project's cost.
- Non-hunting nature lovers equally benefit from this funding since it supports the management of wildlife areas and wetlands as well as game and non-game wildlife.
- "Robertson's 29 words" are a clause in the act's language to prevent states from diverting license fees paid by hunters away from their intended purpose:"... And which shall include a prohibition against the diversion of license fees paid by hunters for any other purpose than the administration of said State fish and game department…."

I was as ignorant as a newborn babe when I first went on the job market three years ago (with a supremely lousy and unhelpful placement advisor), and this blog was an invaluable source of information.
To which Anonymous responded:
Mind sharing what things in particular you were ignorant of 3 years ago, that you now know, that you wish you had known? I can guess, but I'm still curious of the specifics. And what sort of help didn't your placement advisor give that you wish they had? Again, I can guess, but I'm still curious.
- I did not know how much pedigree matters. (I did not go to a posh school)
- I did not know how much publications matter. (I had no peer-reviewed papers, but I had book reviews and an encyclopedia entry and a few invited talks)
- I did not know how to put together a proper job dossier
- I did not know that there is a whole class of schools that I should not bother applying to
- I did not know how little my years of teaching experience would count in the absence of pubs and pedigree
- I didn't know (no one knew) that the market that first year (and every year after) would be historically bad in the wake of a national financial catastrophe
- How to construct a cover letter, CV, teaching statement, research statement, evidence of teaching effectiveness (learning this a full year before I went on the market would have been helpful)
- Which jobs to not bother applying to and why
- That only applying to schools where I really, really wanted to work was foolish -- you have to apply for lots and lots and lots of jobs. (By my estimation, I got interviews for roughly ten percent of the jobs I applied for this year -- so 90% tossed me in the bin.)
- That looking for a philosophy job is really expensive
- Why my belief that I'd be able to find a job that first year was excessively optimistic
- How really, really hard it is to get a TT job
- I wish someone at my grad school had sat me down, explained how important it is to get a paper published, and explained to me how to get a paper published. The most I ever got was "you should submit this paper somewhere." Maybe I should have been more inquisitive, and maybe I would have been if someone had said "your future career depends on it." (And maybe this is the difference between a really great grad program, and a merely good program.) Boys and girls, get published. Get published in the best journals you can, but get published. I've had five papers accepted in the last year, another five commentaries, and five conferences. It got me five interviews (Maybe my lucky number is five), two campus interviews, and one job.
- I wish I had known that APA would be a complete waste of time and money for me. I had interviews, but never got a second look after any of them. I did much better with phone interviews, and flyouts with no first interviews. But that's just me. Other people obviously get jobs after APA interviews.
- CV-building matters a lot. It took me 2 years after grad school to get enough publications, conferences, and other non-teaching experience to be taken seriously as a job candidate. I feel like it took me 3 job seasons to really refine my dossier -- to figure out what to put in there and what not, to write a good cover letter that sells my strengths, to write a really compelling research and teaching statement. (And having all that stuff in the can made it a lot easier for me to apply for jobs this year, and to apply for a lot more of them.) Some of that is because it just took me that long to have something to sell. Those people who can hit the ground running straight out of grad school, and land a TT job in their first season must be amazing philosophers.

Soundcloud's Best: September *DJ Burnout, Filip Filipi, Smokey Robotic, Ocelot, AzizSeptember 30th, 2011 by Siegz | Alternative/Indie, Dance, Dubstep, Hip-Hop/Rap, Mashup, Soundcloud's Best |
Once again the five best songs we received through soundcloud are a wide variety but sure to please the ears. Here's Soundcloud's Best for September.
First I wanted to highlight DJ Burnout's best mashup he released in September with "One More Hump" which uses Daft Punk's "One More Time" on instrumentals mixed with several bumping pop songs that bring the hump. Yikes that sounded kind of gross… get the bumping music on to bring the hump… "One More Hump"!
One More Hump (Daft Punk / Missy Elliot / Lady Gaga / Black Eyed Peas) by DJ Burnout
Next we go with newcomer Filip Filipi with "Big City Chaser" featuring Mansions On The Moon and Work Drugs. It's got this electronic chill-hop sound, which is real interesting and caught my ear.
Filip Filipi – Big City Chaser (feat. Mansions On The Moon, Work Drugs)
Now for a group that if you are not familiar with them yet, you should be as they have a superfuture sound that is slowly catching on. Here's Smokey Robotic's latest, "No Reality", which features Redman! Haven't heard from Redman in a while so that's a great addition to quite an interesting song.
No Reality (feat. Redman) by Smokey Robotic
Now for a remix whose original should be on the radio, "I Stand Alone" by Theophilus London. The chill-wave/dubstep remix from Ocelot has been officially approved by Theophilus and is a remix that grows on you even though it isn't as catchy as the original.
Theophilus London – I Stand Alone (Ocelot Remix)
Lastly comes another artist who has a fairly prominent feature on the blog, Aziz. The instrumental produced by No Studio is what caught my ear and the rapping from Aziz goes so well with this banging hip-hop anthem. My only question is, who the fuck is Clay Davis? Well I googled it and found out Clay Davis is a character from HBO's The Wire and he was known for saying "sheeeeee-it," which the song ends with. I enjoy the song a bit more now knowing that.
Aziz – Clay Davis

Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score
HANOVER, N.H. - Katie Edwards hit a grand slam home run but Yale fell to Dartmouth 6-4 in the first game of an Ivy League doubleheader at Sachem Field. Kelly Fry had two hits, including a two-run homer, and knocked in three to lead the Big Green. In the second game, Ashley Gleason hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Dartmouth went on to an 8-0 victory. Ashley Sloan had two hits for Yale.
In the opener, Dartmouth's Stephanie Trudeau took a perfect game into the fifth inning. She retired the first hitter on a pop out and then got some help from her defense when shortstop Christy Autin made a diving catch to snare Megan Enyeart's line drive. Aracelis Torres, though, followed with a solid single up the middle to break up the no-hitter.
Trailing 6-0, Yale mounted a comeback in the sixth. Sloan started the rally with a two-out bunt single. Christina Guerland was hit by a pitch, and Kyli Hanson singled to load the bases. Edwards then hit a line drive that just cleared the left-field fence.
Trudeau, though, retired the next four Yale hitters to earn her eighth win of the season. She struck out seven and did not allow a walk.
Holly Gutterud pitched three innings of scoreless relief for the Bulldogs (18-18, 3-13 Ivy).
In the second game, the Big Green (14-21, 10-6 Ivy) scored six runs in the third to break open a close game.
Yale had runners on base in four of the five innings but left four on base. Sloan led off the game with a single, moved to second on a passed ball but could get no further. In the second inning, Torres was hit by a pitch. She advanced to second on Jessica Meyer's sacrifice bunt and then reached third on a wild pitch before being stranded. In the third, Sloan singled but was thrown out trying to steal second. The Bulldogs also threatened in the fifth. Torres and Courtney Blachford both reached on errors, but Dartmouth pitcher Angela Megaw overcame the miscues.
The Bulldogs take a break from Ivy League action when they play a doubleheader at Providence on Wednesday beginning at 3 p.m.

After a somewhat brutal weekend (musically and physically) at ATP Vs The Fans Part II, it was with some trepidation that DiS loins were re-girded for its sister weekend. But actually we had a quite lovely time; maybe it was the more cohesive line-up begat from having a proper curator; maybe it was something to do with it being sold out; probably it wasn't the uber-tetchy security (um, did they spend so long looking over the top of the girls' cubicles as the gents'?); whatever the case, a fine weekend, and one of the better overtly indie editions.
Throwing Muses
Reaction from friends and these here boards would suggest fanboy bias perhaps made me think this was better than it actually was. I dunno. Maybe that's the joy of fanboy bias. Fair enough, Kristin Hersh's fondness for iffier late records Limbo and University is made pretty apparent. But, y'know, it's all about that feral larynx, shearing through our guts like a strung-out scythe, set to those oblique talons of crunching, slicing guitar. Apparently they had to fight ATP for a soundcheck, and were right to do so; I swear I can see cracks appearing in the night as they barrel into a final run of 'Bright Yellow Gun', 'Vicky's Box', 'Mexican Women' and 'Pearl', the air finally shattering under an absolutely brutal 'Bea', finally swept away by a wired, discordant 'Mania'.
Mr Lif
Bit of vigorous old skool mixed with a minor mental breakdown? YES PLEASE! Telling us what an awful year he'd had before attempting to flog a bunch of CDs doesn't make for the most super-comfortable moment ever, but the holler-along, bounce-along, rage-along soapy fun to be had elsewhere more than makes up. A capella ending awesome.
Yann Tiersen
Want to like this more. Can't, really. Some sections of the crowd seem wildly enthused, but for all the moments of sonorous frenzy as Tiersen lays into his violin, this is soundtrack music that feels like soundtrack music.
Bon Iver
Eh. It's been oft-stated that Justin Vernon and cohorts are a formidable live force. Hmmm. Not sure their ethereal intimacy really WORKS on a stage the size of the Pavilion. Maybe it's the weird buzzing sound plaguing them. Maybe it's that they're basically just boring yuppie music. Maybe.
The Breeders
The Breeders do not turn in the greatest set of the day, though they pull out some pretty impressive stops. Swollen to a sextet with the addition of an extra guitarist and violinist, and with a generous, affecting set that leaves behind notions of ramming last year's Mountain Battles down our throats, the soaring, stringed-up 'Do You Love Me Now?' is a total high, simultaneously epic and ramshackle. No, The Breeders really win by being 'proper' ATP curators and getting involved with the festival all weekend; in an act of supreme awesomeness, Kelly Deal finishes The Breeders' set, walks through the Pavilion audience with guitar around neck, saunters into Reds and then mooches up to join The Frogs onstage. And there's more – the pair coming out to perform with an obviously delighted Bradford Cox during Sunday's Deerhunter set, and injecting a degree of point into Mariachi El Bronx's pleasant but entirely WTF? set for a team up on Mountain Battles' 'Regalame Esta Noche'. Toss in Kelly's knitting, Kim flustering Scarlett Thomas by asking the first question at her Sunday book reading, and, er, the drummer totally pwning DiS's friend at the coconut tree climbing, and you've got curators who stamped their mark on the festival in entirely the right way.
Holy Fuck
This IS the best set of the day. The Canadian laptop-loathers begin by giving their entire rider out to the front rows in doodled-upon pint glasses, then lash into an LP-drenched set of hyper-kinetic awesomeness, antiquated old bits of synths chopped and changed about stage from song to songs, like some steampunk demonstration of evolutionary theory. Anybody not dancing, hugging or dancing and hugging by the time 'Lovely Allen' consumes us in a blaze of radiant light probably expired from excitement a ways back into the gig.
If Tricky made records as good as his shows, Maxinquaye would probably be thought of as a kind of shaky career start. Costanza Francavilla is no Martina Topley-Bird, but even when Tricky isn't technically doing anything he still holds the stage, his presence a theatrical but entirely disquieting exercise in controlled rage and shaped menace.
Whispertown 2000
Wonky harmonies, fuzzy punk overdrive, country yearning, metal poses, girl-group shoutalongs, and a seeming obsession with birds. So confused about what genre this may be that I collar a member after and ask: he shrugs and says "it's just rock'n'roll". Which is better than 'neo-cowpunk', which is what I was thinking. In any case, the perfect start to Saturday, a hefty pinch of musical smelling salts.
Angry figures in the darkness, spewing out a diamond-hard apocalypse of sound – the force of the kick drum alone feels like being shot in the head. The music's utter refusal to age is quite marvellous.
Th' Faith Healers
Start off sounding like a bunch of Nineties Lush peer also-rans. Finish like the collapse of creation, a gigantic churn of guitar spinning and roaring, hypnotic and elemental. I wish it was still going.
Bradford Cox and revolving cast (whatever happened to Whitney? Did I imagine her?) can be a bit hit and miss live, and an opening 'Agoraphobia' is kind of lost, too delicate to survive in the Pavilion's vastness. But then a massive, billowing 'Cryptograms' wrestles everything back down and from then on this works spectacularly, the likes of 'Hazel Street', 'Never Stops' and a Krauted-up 'Nothing Ever Happened' shooting into the space like waves of star fire. 'Cavalry Scars II/Aux Outro' works as the wide-screen finale was clearly always destined to be, but the real showstopper happens early on, when the Deal sisters turn up for a floaty, FX-ed up take on The Amps' 'Bragging Party', a giddy, delighted Cox surrendering his guitar to concentrate on the twin tasks of goofy backing vocals and gawping at his hosts in awe.
Times New Viking
Knowing the stage banter about Heath Ledger, drugs, etcetera is pretty much the same every time can't dispel the ramshackle glory surrounding the Ohio trio's preposterously loud pop. Yeah, it's a bit gutting that they only play for half an hour, but still worth skipping the quiz for, just about.
Melt Banana
They take to the stage in complete darkness, save for some little torches. They commence a combustion of searing electronics and weapons-grade howls. It sounds a bit like a demoniacally possessed radio. Deep in they drop an extremely wrong take on The Specials' 'Monkey Man'. Feel like somebody has been teasing our pleasure receptors with an electric drill. Brilliant.
The Soft Pack
Succeed where Parts & Labor to some extent failed last weekend, successfully bringing the Pavilion's irksome soundsystem to heel with their rock hard power-pop thrillz.
Yeah, they're oooookay; considering how stunning some of the reformations to have taken place on these stages have been, X's appearance doesn't really have a sense of moment to it; maybe because it's just a stop on a longer tour, maybe because cowpunk hasn't dated super-well. Rollicking, in a taut enough way.
Gang Of Four
They were so good at the Thurston Moore ATP... what changed? Is it that Jon King's, er, 'enthused' stage antics look a bit drunken uncle-ish at a venue this big? Or could it be that their formerly razor-sharp tunes are a little impeded by awful new bassist Thomas Mcneice? They play a lot of amazing songs, and they play them quite well, but it's not the revelation of a couple of years back.
I mean, it's Shellac, innit? Proportionally at least 20 per cent of their gigs must have been at ATPs, but that doesn't mean we should ever be complacent. They're certainly not. Todd Trainer looks like he's about to die by the time 'Steady As She Goes' comes around. Savage, precision tooled, acid splashed, barbed genius. They imply they'll be back for the December ATP. Good.

Bills defensive end Mario Williams was booed by the fans in Houston when he played against his old team on Sunday, and although Williams wasn't happy that the Texans won, he says he was happy to hear the boos.
"It was great," Williams told the Buffalo News after the game. "The biggest thing for me is if you go out and make a play and get booed, I know I'm in your heart. That's the most important thing. If it'd been quiet, then I would've felt something different. I know you're thinking about me."
Williams, who was playing for the first time since having surgery on a wrist injury that has bothered him all season, said he felt fine. And Williams played well, leading the Bills in tackles and having a sack and a tackle for a three-yard loss on a running play.
"I believe it's healing now instead of just being stagnant," Williams said of his wrist. "That definitely boosted my morale."
Still, with the Texans winning and improving to 7-1 while the Bills fell to 3-5, there must be a part of Williams that's disappointed to have left the best team in the AFC to sign with one of the worst. Returning to Houston serves as a reminder for Williams that when he signed the most lucrative free agent contract for a defensive player in NFL history, he left a good chance at winning a Super Bowl ring behind.

Addison Wesley, 2003 - Business & Economics - 696 pages
A thorough understanding of econometrics allows students to better understand the relationships on which people, businesses, and governments base their decisions. And to make econometrics relevant in an introductory course, interesting applications must motivate the theory and the theory must match the applications. This text motivates the need for tools with concrete applications, and then provide simple assumptions that match the application. Because the theory is immediately relevant to the applications, this approach makes econometrics come alive. Real-world questions and data are integrated into the theoretical development, and appropriate coverage is given to the substantive findings of the resulting empirical analysis. And topics presented in the text reflect modern theory and practice.

I was slightly startled early in the new year to have a meeting with a development exec who told me she'd looked up my website and read my sitcom script sample 'Romey Loves Jools'. Startled, because a) I sort of forgot I had a website, and b) I wrote 'Romey Loves Jools' at least ten years ago, so I have no idea if it's in any way representative of my current work. I'm still very fond of it, I just have no idea if that's my 'voice' any more. Also it's only the first twelve pages, I should really put the whole thing up there. Or delete it entirely.
But it did make me think I should maybe put up something more current.The problem is of course you can't put anything too new up, because it might still be up for grabs, and execs hate being more than the third or fourth person to read a script, which is fair enough.
So I've put up one spec* sitcom script, which is dear to my heart, as it's about LARPing, but I'm going to have to accept that the look most comedy producers give me when I get all excited about a show in which 'people with social problems dress up as wizards and elves and fight each other in the woods with rubber swords' is probably not a positive one, and release it into the wild. It's called 'FELLOWSHIP OF THE WRONG'
The other script was developed with the lovely lovely people at Carnival Films, who after hitting gold with 'Downton Abbey' thought they could develop my idea about a failed superhero who ends up working in a gated community filled with (he discovers) reformed, or at least 'pretending to be reformed' supervillains, into something NBC might like.
Unfortunately, the relevant people at NBC kept wandering off, or dying, or regenerating into newer, less-interested people, and in the end we pulled the plug. But I'm still very fond of it, and it's up now and called 'HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO'
* A spec, or 'speculative' script being a non-commissioned or unsolicited screenplay. Upside: you can write about absolutely anything you want. Downside: it is entirely unpaid writing work, although you write in hopes someone will be interested enough to pay you something at some point, or (more likely, although still not *that* likely), it will interest some producer or development exec enough to lead to paid work elsewhere.

Sofie Borberg and the team of Rune Frederiksen and Jesper Pedersen receive DKK 25,000 for their innovative projects about mixing loops and transnational communication.
Grundfos Project Award is given among engineering students and students in other fields who have made their final projects in cooperation with Grundfos. In addition to the honour each winning project gets DKK 25,000.
Unique concept
This year's winners of the award for engineers are Rune Frederiksen and Jesper Pedersen from The Engineering College of Aarhus. They win the award for their project about "Mixing loops with integrated regulating valve", combining already known solutions and design in a new way. This has contributed to Grundfos being able to optimise specific products to make them require less space and become more flexible.
- Developing a unique concept distinguished from other solutions, was exciting and challenging. We are also very pleased to have delivered a concept suggestion which Grundfos values, said Rune Frederiksen, emphasising that his team is proud of the recognition.
Positive eye opener
Sofie Borberg from Aalborg University has made her winning, mercantile project for Grundfos' Technical Marketing. With her project about "Communicating quality across borders" she analysed the way in which Technical Marketing in Denmark cooperate with the Chinese satellite department. The focal point of the project is cultural understanding and knowledge sharing.
- I am really pleased with the award. It was incredibly amazing to meet so many dedicated staff. I managed to open up for a large number of new perspectives – professionally as well as personally – by working in so close contact with an environment which otherwise would be unknown to me, said Sofie Borberg.
She is pleased with the fact that people in 'the real world' can use her results and the 25,000 kroner award is not the only reward for Sofia to bring with her:
- The recognition allows me to look for jobs with extra confidence and courage, which is really nice.

- First Barcelona Test, Day One
FW35 is 'a big improvement' - Maldonado
- Drivers:
- Pastor Maldonado
- Teams:
- Williams
Pastor Maldonado described the FW35 as "a big improvement" after his first day in the new Williams at Barcelona.
The new car was launched in the pit lane ahead of the first day of the second test at the Circuit de Catalunya, with Maldonado at the wheel for its first laps in anger. Having ended the day with the fifth-fastest time, Maldonado said he was happy with how the day had progressed and was certain the car was a major step forward for the team.
"I am quite happy, the car is quite good, especially as we have good data here from last year," Maldonado said. "So there is a step - I can feel the step - and the car feels very comfortable on the track. We didn't push for any lap time today as the car is completely new so our main target is to put mileage on the car. Actually it was quite good and I'm happy to start like that with many laps and no problems with the car and on top of that good performance at the same time.
"There is improvement, a big one for sure. It's a step forward; I guarantee that. So we need to work very hard on the car still, it's quite young. We didn't try any different set-ups or different things in the car so we need to understand the tyres better to make them work with this car so there's still a long way to go but we are ready to improve and we are quite happy."
Maldonado also admitted that he could feel a big difference between the new car and the car he drove to victory in Barcelona nine months ago.
"[It feels] completely different. It's a completely different car, a different feeling; this car feels more easy to drive. But easy doesn't mean quick so we need to wait a little bit and we need more time. We need more time to get to the bottom of the car but the car seems to be very good."
When asked if it felt like a race-winning car, Maldonado replied: "I think I'm going to enjoy this car during the season. We can do something good."

VIDEO: Suns keep rolling, drop Pelicans
HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — Of the 16 players that suited up for the Phoenix Suns last season, 12 are gone.
Then there was the ultimate short-timer Caron Butler, a Suns player this summer just long enough to model the franchise's new uniforms at a Scottsdale mall. In all, eight players are new to the roster, and straight from the feel-good department is Channing Frye returning from a scary heart condition that robbed him of the entire 2012-13 season. Frye is the Suns' longest-tenured player, signed as a free agent way back in 2009, before current general manager Ryan McDonough had celebrated his 30th birthday.
The Suns' starting five includes two players from last season: P.J.Tucker and Goran Dragic to go with Frye, Miles Plumlee and star-in-the-making Eric Bledsoe.
And here they are, a team that figured to lose games at a rapid rate is 5-2 and leading the Pacific Division. So how is it possible for an organization that hired a new GM, hired a new coach, cleaned house and then traded its talented starting center Marcin Gortat to Washington a week before the season started (for an injured one who might not play at all) to have already secured one-fifth of its win total from all of last season?

The deficiencies weren't in what the Buddha actually taught.Bodhisvasti wrote:Is there a reason why we must keep referring to contemporary Western scholars about Dependent Origination? Was there something deficient in the Buddha as a teacher that prompts us to do this?
In the context of this topic, it's deficiencies in understanding of the prevailing religious context in which dependent origination was taught, and the resultant tendency towards literalist interpretations in some quarters. Studies like this challenge the literalism that many people and traditions might otherwise take for granted.
If that's of no interest to you, the Early Buddhism sub-forum may not be your cup of tea.

Monterey cypress trees in the Cypress Grove Trail. The orange, velvety growth especially noticeable on trees and rocks of the shadowed north-facing slopes is green algae named Trentepohlia. Its orange color comes from carotene, a pigment which also occurs in carrots. The growth does not harm the trees.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued a top ten list to keep people safe over the bonfire season this year.
1. Keep bonfires small and manageable and build them away from houses, garages, sheds, fences, overhead cables, trees and bushes.
2. Never use flammable liquids such as paraffin or petrol to light the fire.
3. Keep everyone away from the fire, especially children, and keep pets indoors.
4. Avoid drinking alcohol whilst in charge of a bonfire or fireworks, particularly when supervising children.
5. In case of an emergency, keep buckets of water, the garden hose or a fire extinguisher ready.
6. Make sure your fireworks conform to British Standards BS 7114, EN 14035 or EN 15947.
7. Keep fireworks in a closed box and use them one at a time.
8. Light the firework at arm's length using a taper or fuse wick and stand well back - never return to a firework once it has been lit.
9. Only children over the age of five are allowed to use sparklers and even older kids should be supervised by an adult at all times.
10. Don't allow under 18s to buy fireworks - you can be fined or imprisoned for buying or using fireworks illegally.

Oh no he di'n't… vote on a water bill
Congressional hopeful and state Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, caught some flack today for missing a vote on a water bill critical to his district while in a series of Washington, D.C. meetings.
Senate Bill 52 nearly died in the House this morning, only to be resurrected at the last minute on a narrow 33-30 vote. It would protect boundaries of a designated groundwater basin that's home to the Republican River and Gardner's Eastern Colorado district.
It gets a third and final reading in the House Wednesday.
Gardner, who was excused from the legislature Monday and today, said he was in a series of Washington, D.C. meet-and-greets, though he was not fund raising.
"This is an issue that really does mean life or death on the eastern plains. To see that type of shameless partisanship … people are tired of that. They could have laid that over," said Gardner, who returned to Colorado this afternoon.
He declined to give specifics on who he visited other than to say agricultural interests and people with Colorado ties were among them.
"I was meeting with a number of people outraged at the level of spending happening in this country," said Gardner, who is running for the 4th Congressional District against incumbent Democrat Betsy Markey.
Rep. Sal Pace, D-Pueblo, called Gardner out from the well during heated debate on the legislation.

Congratulations, you're engaged! Now the Champagne's been popped and you've stopped gazing at the ring, it's time to plan the details of your big day.

10 Reasons To Choose Weddings by TUI
Planning Your Destination Wedding
The thought of planning a wedding abroad can be overwhelming, but our expert wedding advisors are on hand to make the process a smooth and enjoyable one. Here are their top tips to get you started…
Dream Big
Start a Pinterest board and collect images and ideas that you love – a shortlist of destinations should start to reveal itself naturally. With that shortlist in hand, it's time to look at the venues available in each destination. The world really is your oyster when it comes to getting married, and TUI puts it on a plate and hands you a fork.
Bite The Bullet
This is the clapper board point. You can book weddings abroad by calling our Weddings Team on 0203 451 2688 or by visiting a TUI Holiday Store. Once you've done it, the rest of your wedding plans can roll.
Ink The Invites
Agreeing on numbers and who to invite is notoriously tricky, so sit down together and kick off the conversation early. If you're struggling to cut down your guest list, why not hold a drinks and nibbles party for everyone when you get home?
Find The One – Again
Pin as many gowns as your data allowance will allow, and factor in the cost of veils, lingerie and shoes when setting your budget. And even if you think you know exactly what style you want, try something utterly 'not you' when you get to the shops, too – you never know, it might surprise you. Above all, have fun. Once you've found 'the one' in the Bruce Springsteen meaning of the word, the best part is finding 'the one' of the wedding dress variety.
Think About Dining
One of the best parts of getting married abroad is being able to bring local flavours onto the wedding breakfast menu. Venue-wise, if you're getting wed on the beach in front of a hotel it'll seem obvious to move into the hotel's function room or gardens for your first meal as man and wife. Or go for a barbecue on the beach. If you'd rather dine at the grass roots level, you can ask your wedding advisor to suggest some local restaurants that could accommodate you and your guests.
Start As You Mean To Go On
VIP airport lounge access, Champagne on ice and private transfers are just some of the ways to give your single selves the send-off they deserve. There are loads of special arrangements you can make for travelling to your wedding destination.
Which Wedding?
From sun-kissed beaches in Mexico to snowy fairytale landscapes in Lapland, the world's your oyster when it comes to choosing a wedding backdrop.
Beach Weddings
Smudging footprints in the sand with your wedding train and having your veil carried by the sea breeze make beach weddings the stuff of daydreams. They can be as low-key as you like. Don't bother with the bridal shoes and have a barefoot wedding with only the waves as witnesses. Or have a wide aisle constructed and say your vows in front of a plane's worth of friends and family.
Religious Weddings
Contrary to popular belief, tradition is transportable. Overseas weddings can contain as much custom and convention as those in the UK. If one of you has been baptised or christened, you can have an Anglican Church religious wedding in Cyprus. For these nuptials, you'll be able to pick your own hymns and choose readings that strike the loudest chord with you and your partner.
Winter Weddings
Footprints in the sand and the rustle of palms might do it for some. But for others, wintry landscapes are the real scene setters. In Iceland you can say I do against a backdrop of volcanic national parks, huge waterfalls or pretty geothermal pools. And ceremonies in Lapland are defined by snow-covered woodland and fairy lights that twinkle in the twilight. Most people associate the latter with Father Christmas, but those in the know understand it's also starry-eyed territory as far as winter weddings go.
Luxury Weddings
We've got a string of luxurious venues in the 'only the best of the best will do' bracket. So if you picture a wedding abroad that's a push-the-boat-out, once-in-a-lifetime affair that calls for only the finest Champagne and the biggest, most luxurious, suite in the house, we can do just that.
Renewal Of Vows Ceremonies
Whether it's your first anniversary or you've got married children of your own, there's never a bad time to re-live your big day. It may be that you had a colossal celebration back home, and want something more intimate overseas. In which case, we've got venues where you can re-visit your vows with just a congregation of palm trees, and nobody else. On the other hand, if yours was a tiny ceremony the first go around, this could be the blow-the-budget, spoil-yourselves-silly commemoration that calls for an entourage of friends and family in attendance.
Unique Weddings
If having your wedding half a world away from every other couple in the UK appeals, so might the thought of having a big day that's a world apart. Customising your wedding doesn't have to end with self-penned vows and red wedding dresses. Your big day can be as out-of-the-box as you want it to be.
Same Sex Weddings
Beachfront settings in Cyprus, luxurious private villas in Ibiza, and pretty fresco-painted town halls in Croatia are some of the venues we've lined up for symbolic same-sex ceremonies and blessings. We also offer same-sex marriage ceremonies in Mexico and even Iceland, where you can tie the knot in a choice of unique locations. Say I do on top of a volcano, behind a 200-feet waterfall, at the otherworldly geothermal Blue Lagoon, or against the dramatic volcanic landscape of Thingvellir National Park.
Happy Ever After by TUI
Last year, we launched our 'Happy Ever After' competition to give one lucky couple the chance to win a luxury honeymoon. The competition was based on Sky Living TV show Four Weddings - where brides rate each other's wedding ceremonies to win a honeymoon. But this time the contestants were Weddings couples, and our trusted Facebook community were the judges. After picking three pairs, we flew out to Cyprus, Zante and Malta to film their weddings, paying close attention to the finer details like the dress, the venue and the special extras.Find out more about the 3 weddings
Wedding Destinations
Whatever backdrop you've got in mind for your big day – from far-flung tropical beaches to Europe's most beautiful and historical cities – we can make it a reality.
Pick Europe for your big day and you can tie the knot anywhere from a Medieval monastery to a chapel made entirely of ice. Marry in Italy and you could be saying I do in a 13th-century Sicilian palazzo or on a cliffside terrace overlooking the Amalfi Coast. Cyprus and Greece are both ideal for a church wedding with added sunshine, while Majorca, Ibiza and Turkey mainline in sea-view ceremonies. Malta offers up weddings with a backdrop of ancient palaces, boat-flecked harbours and rolling vineyards. Over in Croatia, meanwhile, you've got storybook-pretty town halls and receptions in laid-back harbourside restaurants.
White-sand beaches, Bombay Sapphire waters and an infectious party spirit mean the islands of the Caribbean were made for weddings. Each island has something different to bring to the wedding table – Aruba is home to some of the longest, whitest beaches going, the Dominican Republic livens up evening do's with merengue music and rum cocktails, and Jamaica offers a reggae soundtrack and a laid-back attitude. Cuba does weddings with a Latino-style swing of the hips, combining all the traits of a Caribbean paradise with its iconic capital city, Havana. Then there's St Lucia, where the two of you can stand at the altar with the mighty twin peaks of the Piton Mountains towering behind you.
Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean island of Mauritius doesn't just deliver dream weddings, but wraps them up with aquamarine lagoons and veil-white beaches. If you don't fancy saying your vows on the sand, you can also opt to wed in pretty gardens, or on ocean-view terraces. Receptions feature fresh seafood and cocktails made with local rum, while post-big day adventures include hikes to rainforest waterfalls and daytrips to deserted islands.
Latin America
Whether you fancy golden sands and golden sunsets, or beaches whiter than your wedding cake, Latin America delivers. Opt for Mexico and you'll have a choice between the east and west coasts. In the east, it's all white sands, Tiffany-blue waters, and A-list-worthy hotels. While on the west coast you can expect sunset ceremonies overlooking caramel-coloured sands, with the Sierra Madre mountains as a backdrop. Further south, Costa Rica has the same gold sands and sunset vistas, but with an added dose of adventure – post-ceremony activities can include soaking in volcanic hot springs, flying through the rainforest on a zipline, and surfing Pacific breakers.
If you like the idea of a ceremony that swaps golden-sand beaches for veil-white scenery, a wedding in the Nordics is for you. As the land of fire and ice, Iceland melts hearts with its dramatic landscapes – from snow-capped volcanoes to gushing waterfalls and steaming thermal lagoons. Wed here and – if you're lucky – you can top off your big day with an appearance from the elusive northern lights. Or, opt for a winter wonderland like Lapland, and you'll arrive at the venue in a husky-pulled sled, tie the knot among snow-blanketed scenery, and make toasts among a backdrop of roaring log fires and flickering candlelight.
With balmy temperatures and year-round sun, al fresco weddings are what Florida does best. Get married here and you can walk down the aisle at a 1920s plantation, or pose for photos under a moss-hung tree outside Winter Park's 19th-century chapel. Lakeside ceremonies are a speciality, too. Then, once the big day's wrapped up, the sunshine state is perfect for exploring as a twosome. As well as the big theme parks, like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios®, you've got places like the Kennedy Space Centre to visit. Add this to the beaches, shopping malls and golf courses and it's an ideal setting for a honeymoon.
Extra Special Touches
We can take care of all the little extras that put the polish on your Big Day.
Upgraded Packages
A romantic candle-lit meal. Breakfast in bed. A pampering treatment or two. Book an upgraded wedding package and you can really tie the knot in style.
We'll sort your bouquets and buttonholes when you arrive and help you tailor them to the destination, season and climate.
Photos & Video
Naturally you'll want to capture as much of your special day as possible. We can arrange for the whole wedding to be photographed and filmed – and even set up a live feed for friends and family to watch at home.
If there's one day you want to look your best, it's your wedding day. We can arrange for you to get your hair styled and nails polished to perfection.
Our standard wedding package includes a cake. But if you want to cut into a frosted, multi-tiered affair, you can opt for something with a little more flair.
Tinkling steel drums, a string quartet, or perhaps a good old-fashioned live band – whatever you want to waltz down the aisle to, we can sort the soundtrack to your wedding.
Getting There
It's all about arriving in style. Whether you want a vintage car, a limo, or a horse-drawn carriage we'll do our best to sort it for you. Plus, we can arrange transport for your guests, too.
Luxury Extras
Start as you mean to go on in an exclusive airport lounge with a glass of Champagne, or by pre-ordering a bottle of chilled fizz and a box of chocolates to be waiting for you on the plane.
10 Tips for Marrying Abroad
Your Questions Answered
We know planning a wedding abroad can be a bit daunting, so we've put together a step-by-step guide to take you through all the need-to-know details. If we haven't answered your questions here, call our weddings advisors or Ask A Question.
Where will we stay?
Once you've decided on a destination, it's up to you where you stay. Download a Weddings brochure below for inspiration, or team your wedding venue with a hotel from one of our other brochures.
How do we set the date?
Once your hotel's booked, we'll send you a booking form to complete and return to us with your preferred date. Then we'll speak to our overseas team and get your date confirmed – this can take up to eight weeks. When it's all set we'll send you a destination pack and the email address of your weddings advisor.
What legal documents will we need?
You'll receive a checklist with your destination pack which will tell you exactly what documents you'll need. Our Weddings Team usually need photocopies at least 12 weeks before you fly out and you'll need to take the originals with you.
Who will conduct our service?
The ceremony is usually a civil service led by a local registrar with two witnesses. In Cyprus and Sri Lanka, we also offer church weddings, which are Anglican services carried out by an English minister.
Can we travel under our married names?
You need to travel under the name on your passport, which matches your plane tickets. If you're changing your name, you can have your passport amended once you're back home.
Will our wedding be legally recognised in the UK?
Yes. All Weddings are carried out by official marriage officers in line with British law and are registered in the country where the ceremony took place. If you want to have your marriage recorded in the UK, you can lodge your original marriage certificate with the General Register Office. Usually, you'll get your marriage certificate while you're away, sometimes it'll be sent to you once you get home.
Do you have specialist wedding insurance?
Yes, it's available as an extension to our travel insurance. For full details of the cover, give our Weddings Team a call.
