The Sundance Institute announced Wednesday the lineup for the upcoming Sundance Next Fest, a combination of film and music events in Los Angeles running Aug. 7-10.
Though the weekend will be anchored in downtown L.A., the event will open with a 10th-anniversary screening of "Napoleon Dynamite" at Cinespia at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
The event will really kick into gear when it shifts to the Theatre at Ace Hotel on Aug. 8, with six Los Angeles premieres scheduled for the recently renovated venue that originally opened in 1927 as the United Artists Theater. The space is capable of both film screenings and live concerts, and evening programs will put together a movie and a musical act.
Jeff Baena's comedy "Life After Beth" will be paired with a solo acoustic performance by Father John Misty on Aug. 8. Malik Vitthal's Watts-set drama "Imperial Dreams" will be followed by a performance by 21-year-old R&B singer-songwriter Tinashe on Aug. 9, and Ana Lily Amirpour's moody "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" will be paired with the trance-rock of Warpaint to close out the festival on Aug. 10.
Also playing at Next Fest are David and Nathan Zellner's "Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter" with Rinko Kikuchi, Alex Ross Perry's "Listen Up Philip" with Elisabeth Moss and Jason Schwartzman and Adam Wingard's "The Guest" with Dan Stevens.
The event is a revamp of last year's inaugural Next Weekend festival, which was based at the Sundance Sunset Cinema in West Hollywood. The biggest venue there had under 200 seats, while the Theatre at Ace Hotel has some 1,600 seats.
"We were very encouraged last year with the response to the program," said Trevor Groth, director of programming for the Sundance Film Festival. "What we learned is that showing these specialty films in a big city like L.A., where there are a lot of film events happening all the time, it's great for the people in that room, but to make noise beyond that, we wanted to make a bigger impact."
The programmers have in some sense gone bigger by going smaller, featuring fewer films than last year. Last year's program included two world premieres as well as selections that premiered at other festivals, while apart from "Napolean Dynamite" all the films at Next Fest first screened at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
By curating certain films together with specific musical acts, event programmers are hoping to create a two-way path of discovery. Filmmakers also seem to like the idea of expanding beyond the boundaries of a more typical night at the movies.
"It feels natural to pair the film with a band," noted "Life After Beth" writer-director Jeff Baena in an email. "Beth" star Aubrey Plaza previously appeared in a music video for Father John Misty, a performing name/persona for singer-songwriter Josh Tilman.
"Josh's solo work is imbued with both morbidity and levity. It's strange yet familiar, grounded but crazy," added Baena. "I think we have that in common."
Daytime screenings will be followed by a conversation between the film's directors and special guests still to be announced. Organizers admit they don't quite know how events will play out, whether it will feel more like a concert or going to the movies, and whether audiences will just treat the movies as warm-up acts for favored local musicians. The theater's set-up allows the movie screen to be at the front of the stage with any music equipment set up behind, so turnaround times between movie and music should be kept to a minimum.
"I have high hopes for this," said John Cooper, director of the Sundance Film Festival. "I do think there's an audience out there. People may come just thinking, 'Oh, I'm going to see a movie and a band,' but we want them to leave feeling connected, like they had a unique experience, that specific concert with that specific movie.
"I do think with these kinds of films, there's always going to be a challenge trying to get a theatrical audience to come out to see them," said Groth. "Part of it is getting them into the cinema, and then if you get a certain critical mass happening I think word of mouth can spread out from there in a powerful way. We'll see, it's an experiment for us this year."
Calling the event "a no-brainer," filmmaker Ana Lily Amirpour noted that she had seen Warpaint earlier this year at the Coachella music festival and was excited to have her "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" paired with the band.
"Put them in Charlie Chaplin's epic theater after a black-and-white Iranian Vampire western film?" Amirpour said in an email while attending the Sundance Institute labs in Utah. "This is what they mean when they say 'next level.' "
Tickets for Sundance Next Fest go on sale Wednesday to members of the Sundance Institute and Thursday to the general public.

Intestinal malrotation is a birth defect. It happens when your baby's intestinal tract doesn't form as it should during pregnancy. Malrotation happens when your baby's intestine doesn't turn like it should.
This can cause a problem called a volvulus after you baby is born. In this condition, your baby's intestine gets twisted. This can cause an intestinal blockage. It also cuts of blood flow to the intestine. This can damage your baby's intestine.
Most children with this condition have symptoms within the first year of life. Some people who have malrotation go their whole life without having any symptoms and are never diagnosed. Other people may not have symptoms until adolescence or adulthood.
Malrotation happens in the early stages of pregnancy when your baby's intestines don't form the right away. Healthcare providers don't know why this happens.
A volvulus is caused by the malrotation. It causes the small intestine to twist around the superior mesenteric artery. Not everyone who is born with a malrotation will develop a volvulus.
Malrotation happens equally in boys and girls. But more boys have symptoms by the first month of life than girls.
Babies with other health issues have a greater risk of having a malrotation. These problems include diaphragmatic hernia, omphalocele, and duodenal atresia.
Symptoms can happen a bit differently in each child. They can include:
The symptoms of malrotation may look like other health problems. Your child's healthcare provider must diagnose him or her with this condition.
Your child's healthcare provider will ask about your child's health history. He or she will also give your child an exam.
Your child may also need tests that show pictures of the inside of his or her body (imaging studies). These tests will show the position of your child's intestine, and whether it's twisted or blocked.
Your child may have blood tests to check electrolytes.
Your child may have a test to look for blood in stool samples.
A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body. This test will show your child's bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
This test can show if your child has intestinal blockages.
This test looks at the organs in the upper part of your child's digestive system. For this test, your child will swallow barium. This is a metallic liquid that coats the inside of his or her organs. This helps them show up on an X-ray better. Then your child's healthcare provider will take an X-ray of these organs. It can show an abnormal location for the small intestine, blockages, and other problems.
This test looks at the large intestine. The healthcare provider will put barium into your child's rectum as an enema. The provider will take X-rays of the belly. This can show that your child's large intestine isn't where it should be.
This test is done to check for volvulus. It looks at the lower part of your child's gastrointestinal (GI) tract, rectum, and colon.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
A volvulus is a life-threatening problem. This is because the intestine can die when it's twisted and doesn't have enough blood supply.
Your child may need IV (intravenous) fluids to prevent dehydration. He or she may also need antibiotic medicine to prevent an infection. Your child may also need an NG (nasogastric) tube. This tube may be guided from your child's nose, through the throat and esophagus, to the stomach. This can keep gas from building up.
A child with a volvulus needs surgery as soon as possible. Your child's surgeon will untwist the intestine. He or she will also check it for damage. Your child's intestine will turn pink after it's unwound and circulation comes back.
If your child's intestine is healthy, it will be put back into your child's belly. This will move the location of your child's appendix. This can make it hard for healthcare providers to diagnose appendix problems in the future. Because of this risk, your child's appendix will also likely be taken out at this time.
If your child's healthcare provider isn't sure about the blood supply to the intestine, your child's intestine may be untwisted and put back into your child's belly. Your child will have another surgery 24 to 48 hours later. If the intestine has been damaged, the injured section will be removed.
If the injured section of intestine is large, a big part of the intestine may be taken out. In this case, your child will need a colostomy for his or her digestive system to work as it should.
In a colostomy, the two healthy ends of intestine are brought through openings in the belly. Stool will pass through the opening (stoma) and then into a collection bag. The colostomy may be temporary or permanent. This depends on the amount of intestine that was removed.
Volvulus can cause a blockage in your child's intestine. This can keep food from being digested well. This can also cause blood supply to the twisted part of the intestine to be cut off. This can lead to the death of that part of the intestine.
Malrotation can also cause Ladd's bands. These form between the cecum and the intestinal wall. This can also form a blockage and keep food from being digested.
A child can become dehydrated quickly when an intestinal blockage happens.
Most children who have a volvulus fixed with surgery often have no long-term problems if there wasn't any intestinal damage.
Children with intestinal injury who had the damaged part removed may have long-term problems. Taking out a large part of the intestine can affect digestion. This can keep your child from getting enough foods and liquids. You should offer your child food and liquids often to make sure he or she is getting enough nutrients.

Roots of Love is part of the 12th Annual DC Asian Pacific Film Festival and will screen on Friday, October 7 at 9:15 pm at the Goethe-Institut as part of the shorts program "Losing Roots, Finding Home" Тhe documentary, directed by Harjant Gill, depicts the generational shifts in the significance of hair and the turban among Sikhs in India. Cutting your hair can lead to cutting ties with your family and community.
Told through the stories of six different men ranging in age from fourteen to eighty-six, Roots of Love documents the changing significance of hair and the turban among Sikhs in India. We see younger Sikh men abandoning their hair and turban to follow the current fashion trends, while the older generation struggles to retain the visible symbols of their religious identity. The film is a timely and relevant exploration of the inherent conflict between tradition and modernity, between pragmatism and faith. The choice of cutting one's hair is one that not only concerns the individual and his family, but an entire community.
An interview with Gill aired on WAMU 88.5 American University Radio's Interfaith Voices on Sunday, October 2nd at 4:00 PM. Listen online at http://wamu.org/
Watch the film trailer:
The APA Film Festival is scheduled for 7 days from October 6 to October 15.

Carbon sinks are natural systems that suck up and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The main natural carbon sinks are plants, the ocean and soil.
Plants grab carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in photosynthesis; some of this carbon is transferred to soil as plants die and decompose.
The oceans are a major carbon storage system for carbon dioxide.
Marine life also takes up the gas for photosynthesis, while some carbon dioxide simply dissolves in the seawater.
The figure of 33.4 billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide is for 2010.
The remaining carbon dioxide is building up in the atmosphere.

Tapping Into Brain Power with Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)
Don't worry I am not trying to assimilate you! This post is about a technology while not new in any way has re-caught my attention as of late. Yes I am talking about Brain-Computer Interfaces or BCIs for short.
What is a BCI you ask? Well according to Wikipedia:
A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a direct neural interface or a brain–machine interface, is a direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device. BCIs are often aimed at assisting, augmenting or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions.
BCIs research began in the 1970s and the focus quickly shifted to neuroprosthetics applications. The first implant of a neuroprosthetics application in a human was in the mid-90s. However neuroprosthetics applications are not the same as BCIs as neuroprosthetics usually attaches a device to the nervous system and BCIs connect the brain (nervous system) directly to a computer. Neuroprosthetics can be attached to any part of the nervous system including peripheral nerves but BCIs are focused on attachment to the central nervous system specifically. The two terms are interchangeable as they focus on similar effects such as restoring sight, movement, hearing, etc.
The work that has been done with BCIs to restore capabilities to people is admirable. However what recently got me re-interested in BCIs is their integration with more common tasks such as typing, playing a game and navigating a virtual world.
In March of this year a team of researchers from IMEC, the Holst Center and the lab of neuro- and psychophysiology at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven introduced Mind Speller, a thought-to-text device. I am all ready an active user of speech-to-text tools such as Dragon Naturally Speak so thought-to-text is very intriguing to me.
I personally have a hard time thinking while writing (no snickering as you read this blog post 😉 and prefer to talk my thoughts onto paper and then edit the output. Also using speech to text has helped me greatly with some of my ergonomic challenges, i.e. we all spend a lot of time at a computer and it takes a toll on the body. Mind Speller takes the talking out of the equation and via a cap worn by the user reads electro-encephalogram (EEG) brainwave output which is then interpreted on the PC by signal processing algorithms, voila thought-to-text!
Game developers and console creators have been focused on movement as of late. The introduction of the Wii in 2006 was definitely a game changer. For those of you unfamiliar (is there really anyone out there unfamiliar with the Wii?) with the Wii, A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detects movement in three dimensions. The recent release of Kinect for the Xbox removes the controller all together. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands, or presented objects and images. However many folks are predicting that movement is just the beginning and the next phase of game development will be focused on leveraging mind control and bio feedback to engage with a game.
"The last 20 years have all been graphics, graphics, graphics," says Nam Do, the co-founder of Emotiv.
"The next five years will be about new interfaces and brain-computer interfaces will play a major role in giving users new experiences. Harry Potter will perform true magic in a game, it won't be about pushing buttons. Headsets can also read the player's emotions, bringing in a totally new dimension. Games will be able to constantly measure your level of excitement, boredom or fear, and tailor the action to make it challenging and exciting all the time."
There are already several consumer headsets that use EEG, to monitor brainwave patterns and which allow gamers to control elements of the action through the power of their thoughts. The Mindset from the futuristically named NeuroSky is an EEG headset that comes bundled with its own game demo, NeuroBoy.
"You play a boy with telekinetic powers," says the company's Tansy Brook.
"You still use traditional mouse and keyboard controls to move and select objects, but there are a number of features that you have to use your mind for: you can relax to levitate an object, or concentrate to set it on fire which is very popular."
A key problem with brain-computer interfaces in the past was the calibration of the sensors to read neural activity was challenging, however NeuroSky and Emotiv have solved this with proprietary algorithms that spot patterns of activity.
NeuroSky has a new headset due later this year, and is currently partnering with game makers including Sega and Square Enix. Square Enix has produced a demo of a first person shooter game, Judecca, in which players have to focus their thoughts to see invisible demons. The concept demonstrates how mind control will become an added feature for conventional games.
While the consumer headsets on the market aren't as sleek as the holobands used in the show Caprica. They show great promise with bringing BCI technology to the masses. I know what I want for Christmas!

This innovative workbook/CD-ROM package helps bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world by teaching students about clinical settings and critical thinking before they actually start clinical rotations making the transition from nursing student to caregiver a smoother process. A guided learning experience, VCE features textbook reading assignments that correspond with the CD-ROM and workbook activities. The workbook acts as a map, guiding students through the CD-ROM as they care for patients in the virtual hospital, making connections between what they experience in the virtual hospital and what they learn in the textbook. Throughout each lesson, students access realistic information resources essential to patient care, resulting in a true-to-life, hands-on learning experience. Promotes active learning as students identify information to collect and process data for evidence-based patient care. Exposes students to realistic information resources such as the EPR, MAR, and extensive Charts to prepare them for data management and decision-making on the floor. Improves core computing skills as students access and evaluate the diverse hospital databases. Reinforces the precepts of safe medication administration as students select, prepare, and administer medications in a harm-free environment. Augments knowledge of physical assessment by allowing students to examine and record vital signs, head & neck, chest, back & spine, upper extremities, abdomen, pelvic, and lower extremities. Fully integrates the psychosocial aspect of nursing through nurse-client interaction videos, underscoring the psychosocial component of patient care. Includes over 250 NCLEX® examination-style questions that offer built-in testing of clinical knowledge. New flash-based technology allows more ease of use, featuring seamless one-click navigation, no plug-ins, and automatic installations. The cases in VCE are all new along with new patient data in the Electronic Patient Record, Patient Charts, KARDEX, and Medication Administration Record. A new medication room simulates what students will encounter in practice or in a real clinical setting. Over 55 embedded medication administration errors force students to think critically about safe medication practices and follow safe medication standards. Students can now sign in for multiple patients as a nurse would in practice. A new Medication Scorecard provides instant feedback on correctly and incorrectly administered medications. A new Examination Report checklist tracks performance on baseline and focused assessments.

Scout Week
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Scout Week, sometimes referred to as Scouting Anniversary Week, is a week celebrating the founding of the Boy Scouts of America. Scout Week begins on Scout Sunday (the Sunday on or preceding February 8th) and ends on Scout Sabbath (the Saturday following February 8th).
Ideas for Scout Week
Unit Ideas
- Talk to your local mayor or city council. Ask them to proclaim that Scouting Anniversary Week be celebrated in your hometown.
- Conduct a service project for your chartered organization as a way of thanking them for their support of Scouting.
- Hold a special flag-raising ceremony at a high-profile location in the community, or make a special presentation to the local school board, mayor, or city council.
- Have dens create birthday cards or handicraft items to display in store windows, school trophy cases, etc.
- Make public appearances at worship services, service club programs, chartered organization events, city council meetings, parades, etc.
- Conduct unit family events, including Blue and Gold banquets, Courts of Honor, parents' nights and alumni recognitions.
- Plant a tree in honor of the occasion. Start a tradition and plant a new tree each year.
- Invite your local newspaper to cover your event, or take photos and submit them.
- Write a Letter to the Editor highlighting the anniversary and the value of Scouting in your community.
- Conduct a special service project during Scouting Anniversary Week to demonstrate both pride in America and pride in community. Focus on areas of hunger, homelessness, and healthy living and your project qualifies as a Good Turn for America project for which your Scouts can qualify for a Good Turn for America patch (at Scout Shops).
- Use this opportunity for packs and troops to work together. This will also provide Webelos Scouts with the opportunity to work with the troop they will be moving into.
District Ideas
- Work with local radio and television stations to create a Scouting public service announcement.
- Hold an Eagle Scout banquet and invite Eagle Scout in your community to reconnect with Scoutin.

Just finished Edy's Detachment. Best part easily is seeing the few Squad 7 members who are with Edy at the time interact with one another --- plus more lol from Homer and Jann. Kinda rushed and received a B, though seeing the last video and going by the fact that there's multiple endings --- we'll probably hear Edy sing with the highest grade. Will go back to that tonight.
Marina and Lynn are so <3.
Only messed around with Selvaria's DLC so far (mainly to test out her wonderful weapon). No Valkyria mode for the first mission. Saving the best for last i guess.
As for Expert mode. I'll try that out later tonight.
Easily worth £3.19 each.

Went through Edy's Detachment with a B rank, going for A rank now. I'll probably try Selvaria's missions and the Expert skirmishes over the weekend.

Hmm. 4 turns for an A.
How many CP per turn?
(I won't lie; I religiously used the strategy guide for my first playthrough, so being without it for the DLC will be a new experience for me)

I haven't finished Edy's Detachment yet, but I may try to finish in precisely five rounds so that we know what the limitation is.
And if I remember correctly, it's 7CP/turn. (I'm not with my game right now, someone may have to correct me)

LOL Don't worry. I save religiously after pretty much every action. In any given map I use between 3-5 save slots to give me multiple options of what points to which to return.

Onani Master
However like you I had a lot of save files in action, I think last count I have ten save files. One for Book Mode before a mission/skirmish, one for the absolute start of the mission/skirmish and eight to spread around for pretty much every CP/action of a turn.
So if the next turn I was in a predicament I would go back and rethink. Pretty much cheating I say but it was always great when the first time you'd attempt a mission you could get the A Rank without loading a save but those were far and few between!
But I found the game always came back to just stopping and always thinking two moves ahead and anticipating the enemy's response. There's always a way to get the A rank, you just have to be quick.
Man, I really want to play VC but we've got a girl staying with us for a few months and the guest's room is right next to the games room. I go to work all day, come home, do some more work around the farm, exercise and after all that I can get maybe forty minutes in max before I have to stop so she can go to bed.
That or she'll have some crappy music blaring from her phone that's like finger nails running down a chalkboard even with her door closed.
Argh, I'm just venting... Still working on getting my PS3 online properly. Have to pick up a new router when the internet changes over next month.

Personally, I've always found that the biggest flaw in Valkyria Chronicles.
For a tactical RPG, you'd expect the things to matter towards your score being 'how many enemies did you kill?' 'how many targets were off importance?' 'did you kill any tanks?' 'did you lose any men?' 'did you lose any tanks?' 'how many points did you capture?'
Instead, all that matters in 90% of the missions is how fast you can dash towards the final point. Most often the way to do that is the ignore everything mentioned above...
It's a flaw that irked me. If I decide to methodically move forward and eliminate any hostiles, secure any points to prevent their retreat, eliminate their leaders and avoid any casualties, I'm apparently doing a bad job compared to someone who just rushes past every enemy and captures the final point.

I also didn't like how the easiest way to get an A in some missions is to solo it with Alicia. I know she's badass as all hell, but even the truly badass need backup and support.

In case you didn't notice, the DLCs has improved upon the flaws in the right direction in which certain stages and events are unlocked only after various conditions are met. So I'm sure by the next game, the fundamental flaws will have been fixed.
Personally, I'm hoping to see the story branches out in different directions based on the various tactical decisions made like the DLCs.

I'm chill. I love the game and could easily play past the flaw I pointed out. But that won't stop me from pointing out flaws. If we don't point them out, they won't be fixed. After all, the very fact the DLC improves on this (Didn't know about this, as I haven't downloaded nor played the DLC yet) shows that others have pointed this out as well.
And yes, story branches dependent on decisions you make in the game would be a great feature to see.

Valkyria Chronicles is an awesome game. There are always ways to get better, and if Sega can improve on the formula that made VC so damn fun, then they'll have a happy repeat customer in me.

The strategy guide usually has you hit all of the targets of importance on the way to an A rank. For only a few missions do you have to give up a tank or a leader, and usually you were instructed to hit most along the way, anyway. Off the top of my head retaking the center of Bruhl is the only mission where in order to get an A rank you had to forgo eliminating more than 1 leader.

In addition to the previous critiques, I'd also like for them to revamp the cover system. So that you can take cover behind other things other than sand bags, like benches, trees, etc and you can squat or go prone anywhere for accuracy bonuses. Also if they could re-do it so that you only get the defense bonuses when being attacked from the covered side, since you're not exactly being covered if the enemy sneaks up from behind .
As far as the ranking system goes, yeah it's a bit shallow. My first play through I just did it how I wanted to and the second play through I went for A ranks. I think for my next playthrough I'll try to take out all the enemies. I think I missed out on some of the aces on my first few play throughs since I haven't gotten all the medals yet .

Branching story paths sound good to me too. I remember Front Mission 3, where one decision can drastically affect the story in huge ways. Playable characters plot points and missions would change... character deaths and so on.
The thought of a Valkyria Chronicles game having such a sense of scale would be wonderful to play through.

The value of Corn Belt farmland shot up 16% in 2012 and is expected to rise further.
Central Corn Belt farmland values are continue to surpass expectations. According to a quarterly survey of more than 200 agricultural bankers conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the yearly increase in "good" farmland values was 16% in 2012.
"In spite of the drought last year, the annual increase for 2012 was just a notch below those of 2007 and 2011," says David Oppedahl, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago business economist. "On the whole, respondents anticipated farmland values to rise further during the January through March period of 2013."
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago serves the northern two-thirds of Illinois and Indiana, all of Iowa, the lower peninsula of Michigan and southeastern Wisconsin.
From Jan. 1, 2012 to Jan. 1, 2013, Iowa was the winner in the highest percentage annual increase. The state's farmland showed an increase of 20% in the past year. Illinois and Michigan both registered 18% annual gains. Wisconsin's farmland values increased by 11% and Indiana listed a 10% increase.
2012 marked the third consecutive year of momentous jumps in agricultural land values. From 2010 to 2012, the area's farmland values showed a cumulative rise of 52%, which matches the fastest gain of the 1970s boom, in real terms. After adjusting for inflation, the District's 2012 annual increase in agricultural land values (14%) was the third largest in 35 years.
For now, the sky is the limit for farmland values. Oppedahl says 43% of the responding bankers anticipate higher levels of land purchases or improvements in 2013. "With USDA predicting net farm income to rise 14% from 2012 to $128.2 billion in 2013, there would seem to be at least another leg to be run as farmland values continue their upward race."
Recovery from the drought will remain a key factor in 2013, Oppedahl says,. Even though drought conditions have diminished in the District, changes from last year's drought-influenced crop prices will affect both crop farmers and livestock producers.

Is Miley Cyrus married?
That's the question being asked after the pop star -- who's been engaged to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth since last summer -- tweeted a photo on Christmas in which she appears to be wearing what might be a wedding band. (This is what we in the business call a slow news week, folks.)
Far more interesting than any potential nuptials, Cyrus also posted a new video to her YouTube account, the latest chapter in her ongoing "Backyard Sessions" performance series. It presents an excellent rendition of Dolly Parton's early-'70s country classic "Jolene," delivered with as much pained intensity as Cyrus brought youthful exuberance to "Party in the U.S.A." Watch it below.
Coming as it does on the heels of "Decisions," her weirdly effective dubstep collaboration with Borgore, Cyrus's "Jolene" has Pop & Hiss kind of excited for her upcoming album, the follow-up to 2010's so-so "Can't Be Tamed."
Among her creative partners this time around is Pharrell Williams, who recently told MTV that their work together ended up "nowhere near" what you might expect.
Bonus fun fact gleaned from Cyrus' website: Parton is the singer's godmother. Who knew? (Not us.)

I have an appointment tomorrow with my new physician and I'll be asking for a referral to a new therapist. I thought about calling our old therapist that did our individual and couples counseling, but I've basically coined him as another person seeing my husband as "golden child."
He's all YAY over my husband's "accomplishments" and ever since he shot me down when I told him that I felt like giving up (he basically told me I couldn't) - I just feel very unsupported by him.
I hope that this new doctor and therapist are able to help me get back to feeling like I'm ME again. For some reason though, I don't think that is ever going to happen.
One painful realization I have had since seeing my parents (I hadn't seen them since the D-Day took place) is that I truly don't think anyone besides my kids love me (and of course I am their mother so...).
What stinks the most is that I never did anything wrong to deserve it. I'm not saying I am perfect, but I never drank as a teen, never did drugs, didn't have sex, and went to college, graduated and even got my master's degree.
My parents always said I would never accomplished anything in life, called me a slut, thought I lied all the time...it was horrible.
So, then I get married. My husband is in the military, I move around with him, lose friends, be by myself while he is away on a boat. We have a baby, I take care of the baby completely, he goes off on a boat for three months at a time, and I take care of the baby. I get pregnant, I take care of our toddler pregnant for months while he is on the boat. I send care packages, several emails a day, etc. etc. I think you get it. Oh, I have to mention, he's a big kid and wants to buy toys all the time, but I don't nag or complain, he gets them then and now. I cleaned the house and cooked...etc. etc. So, I basically did all of the things a military wife should do.
What happens? He cheats on me. While he's having the affair, I was a horrible. You know that whole affair fog thing... Good thing I was used to hearing things about myself that weren't true.
So, now, here I sit... someone who has always tried to make people happy - still do - only to be treated badly. Trying to focus on myself and on what would make me happy - but what if what would make me happy would be for people to treat me the same way that I treat them?...

Getting a Referral Tomorrow for a Therapist
I have an appointment tomorrow with my new physician and I'll be asking for a referral to a new therapist. I thought about calling our old therapist that did our individual and couples counseling, but I've basically coined him as another person seeing my husband as "golden child."

I'm very glad to hear that you are looking into seeing a therapist.ReplyDelete
I can relate to the parents thing....my whole life I was criticized and only seen for what I was not, instead who I was. My mother often comments that she feels sorry for my husband having to put up with someone like me.
That kind of upbringing makes it difficult to be in a romantic relationship... you carry a lot of baggage around and how can you really be in a loving relationship when you were never loved yourself? I can totally get where you are coming from.
In my life I'm coming to see that my parents issues, are my parents issues and have nothing to do with me. For instance, my mother is always making "comments" about my appearance, particularly my weight. I'm never thin enough, I'm never dressed nicely enough, etc. And when she sees me in pictures, she always sighs and says something like "it's too bad you didn't hold your stomach in when the picture was being taken." Like I'm some big fat whale she is ashamed of.
It hit me one day that my mother is insecure about HER own body image and is throwing that on me. Of course I'll never be beautiful enough - she doesn't feel beautiful about HERSELF, so she throws it on me. I've been trying to see that my mothers issues are about her and not me but it is not always easy. Perhaps you could consider what issues your parents have that they have been throwing on you.
And this is something I struggle with myself - but I think it is a dangerous thing to base feeling loved on love coming from others. (I don't know if that makes sense...) I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you are a loving person, than you will always have love in your life. And I think focusing on you is a really good step. If you treat yourself with love and respect, that is something no one can take away from you.

Tomorrow is my 2nd anniversary of Dday. Sort of stumbled across this blog by accident.ReplyDelete
What your husband did was his choice. There will never be a "why" he did it that will be satisfying or explain or excuse his behavior, but in the end, it was HIS choice, and ultimately had nothing to do with you.
You have a right to protect, nurture and care for yourself - and more importantly, a responsibility. Put your own oxygen mask on first, then worry about everyone else. Counseling helped me with that lesson. Hopefully, you'll find a good therapist who can guide you through this.

Like an entity bean, a session bean can access a database through Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) calls. A session bean can also provide transaction settings. These transaction settings and JDBC calls are referenced by the session bean's container, allowing it to participate in transactions managed by the container.
A container managing stateless session beans has a different charter from a container managing stateful session beans. This section addresses the following topics:
The stateless container manages stateless session beans, which, by definition, do not carry client-specific states. All session beans (of a particular type) are considered equal.
A stateless session bean container uses a bean pool to service requests. The GlassFish Server specific deployment descriptor file, sun-ejb-jar.xml, contains the properties that define the pool:
For more information about sun-ejb-jar.xml, see The sun-ejb-jar.xml File in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Application Deployment Guide.
The GlassFish Server provides the wscompile and wsdeploy tools to help you implement a web service endpoint as a stateless session bean. For more information about these tools, see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Reference Manual.
The stateful container manages the stateful session beans, which, by definition, carry the client-specific state. There is a one-to-one relationship between the client and the stateful session beans. At creation, each stateful session bean (SFSB) is given a unique session ID that is used to access the session bean so that an instance of a stateful session bean is accessed by a single client only.
Stateful session beans are managed using cache. The size and behavior of stateful session beans cache are controlled by specifying the following sun-ejb-jar.xml parameters:
The max-cache-size element specifies the maximum number of session beans that are held in cache. If the cache overflows (when the number of beans exceeds max-cache-size), the container then passivates some beans or writes out the serialized state of the bean into a file. The directory in which the file is created is obtained from the EJB container using the configuration APIs.
For more information about sun-ejb-jar.xml, see The sun-ejb-jar.xml File in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Application Deployment Guide.
The passivated beans are stored on the file system. The Session Store Location setting in the EJB container allows the administrator to specify the directory where passivated beans are stored. By default, passivated stateful session beans are stored in application-specific subdirectories created under domain-dir/session-store.
Make sure the delete option is set in the server.policy file, or expired file-based sessions might not be deleted properly. For more information about server.policy, see The server.policy File.
The Session Store Location setting also determines where the session state is persisted.

Kyra Minturn Sedgwick (born August 19, 1965) is an American actress.
Sedgwick is best known for her starring role as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson on the TNT crime drama The Closer. Sedgwick's role in the series won her a Golden Globe Award in 2007 and an Emmy Award in 2010. The series will come to a close in 2011, following the completion of its seventh season.
Sedgwick was born in New York City, the daughter of Patricia (née Rosenwald), a speech teacher and educational/family therapist, and Henry Dwight Sedgwick V, a venture capitalist. Her father was Episcopalian and of English heritage, and her mother was Jewish. On her father's side, she is a descendant of Judge Theodore Sedgwick, Endicott Peabody (the founder of the Groton School), William Ellery (a signer of the Declaration of Independence), and the Reverend John Lathrop. Sedgwick is also the first cousin once removed of actress Edie Sedgwick, a niece of the writer John Sedgwick, a sister of actor Robert Sedgwick, and half-sister of jazz guitarist Mike Stern.

In his letter, Dr. Yates discussed Jabez Wright's health issues, which involved nervous irritability. Jabez Wright seemed to think his medical problems stemmed from a lingering virus, but Dr. Yates did not agree. He urged Jabez not to use patent medicine, stating that once patent medicine is begun "you will never abandon again, it will be as necessary to you as rum to the toper, or tobacco to the sailor." The letter concludes with Dr. Yates advising Jabez Wright to take his old advice, presumably from a previous visit to the doctor, and not to seek further treatment.
Dr. Christopher C. Yates was a prominent doctor in Albany, New York, the son of Christopher J. Yates and Catharina Lansing. In 1818, he co-authored an essay on bilious epidemic fever. He was married to Emma Willard in 1838, but they divorced in 1843. Dr. Yates eventually moved to Canada, and he died in Nova Scotia in 1848.
Jabez Wright was an early surveyor of the Firelands. He was a justice of the peace in Huron Township, and was also an associate judge, holding court in Huron County as early as 1815. In an address to the Firelands Historical Society on February 22, 1888, Rush Sloane stated that Jabez Wright was one of the first men in the State of Ohio to aid fugitive slaves. The Ohio Historical Society placed a historical marker noting Judge Wright's home as a station on the Underground Railroad.
You can see several items which once belonged to the Wright family at the Follett House Museum, including an 1825 tea canister and a side saddle used by Mrs. Jabez Wright.

The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Boston just celebrated its grand opening last week in Boston, but it is already drawing criticism regarding its membership fees.
According to several Boston-area media sources, some community leaders have said that memberships at the city's Kroc are too expensive for many of the low-income residents that the center aims to serve.
The price of Kroc memberships varies according to income, but sample basic monthly membership rates for the Boston center are $55 for adults, $70 for a family of four and $15 per month for members 12 to 17 years old. Discounts and financial aid are available to help individuals and families who cannot afford the fees.
According to the center's website, 58,000 people—including 19,000 children—live in a one-mile radius of the center, and two-thirds of the area's residents have incomes below the state's self-sufficiency standard.
John Barros, executive director of the local nonprofit neighborhood development group The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative, told The Dorchester Reporter that his group supports the Boston Kroc but that he is concerned it will be inaccessible to a lot of neighbors because the membership fees are too high and the financial aid process is ambiguous.
Major William Bode, divisional commander of the Salvation Army in Massachusetts, said that research by the organization and outside consultants had concluded that the membership fees and financial aid packages were reasonable. He added that staff is available to help fill out financial aid forms and that 30 percent of the new Kroc center's members had received financial aid so far.
"We have to remain fiscally solvent at the Kroc Center, so we have budget provisions," Bode told The Boston Globe. "As I sit here today, no one has been turned away."
The $115 million Boston Kroc Center is the largest community center in New England. Its fitness facilities include a cardio loft and group fitness classroom, a gymnasium with two basketball courts and a ropes course, and an aquatic center with zero-entry recreation pool, water play features and lap lanes.

Gala Honorary Co-Chairs Tom Bitove and Daniel O'Neill welcomed guests to the evening's fundraising gala, noting "Tonight's event, along tomorrow's Celebrity Classic golf tournament, marks another important step for the Foundation's ongoing campaign to build an endowment program that will benefit Canadian amateur hockey for generations to come."
World Junior's Champions Patrice Bergeron and Sidney Crosby
The Masters of Ceremonies presiding over the festivities were TSN's Gord Miller and Pierre McGuire. The
evening's festivities were held at the Westin Harbour Castle hotel in downtown Toronto with over 600 people
in attendance, the largest number of participants since the event began in 2004. This year's event was
broadcast nationally by TSN Sport Centre and fundraising exceeded $210,000.
The evening culminated with the ring presentation to the 2005 World Junior Champions, the first Canadian team to win the tournament since 1997, which was the final year of Canada's five consecutive titles. The World Champions dominated the tournament in Grand Forks, North Dakota; they never trailed in any of their six wins and outscored opponents 41-7. A true dream team, made possible only because of the NHL lock out, 19 of the 22 players have since played in the NHL.
On the following warm sunny summer day, the Foundation held its Celebrity Classic Golf Tournament at the Copper Creek Golf Club, voted "One of the Best 18 in the GTA" in the Toronto Sun Reader's Choice Awards 2005. There were a total of 32 teams enjoying the sunshine and the hot summer temperatures. Each team was captained by a member from Canada's 2005 IIHF World Junior Champion team, including Sidney Crosby, Mike Richards, Patrice Bergeron and many others. The tournament was a great day for event sponsors to enjoy themselves over 18 holes of great golf.
The CHF thanked the leadership and hard work of the Celebrity Classic's Organizing Committee Chair, Tim Manning, as well as Honorary Co-Chairs Thomas Bitove and Daniel O'Neill. The Foundation feels very fortunate to have had their support and leadership in staging the Celebrity Classic Gala Fundraiser and Golf Tournament. The Foundation also thanks the many event sponsors for their contributions in creating such a successful and enjoyable event.

Yesterday, the Delaware state legislature voted to legalize same-sex marriage and the bill was signed into law by the governor moments afterwards.
The bill passed in the state House two weeks ago on a vote of 23 to 18. It was approved by the Senate yesterday on a vote of 12 to 9. Governor Jack Markell (D) signed the bill into law on the stairs of the main lobby of Legislative Hall minutes after it was approved by the Senate. Markell told activists and reporters, "It's a great day in Delaware… I am signing this bill now because I do not intend to make any of you wait one moment longer." Same-sex couples will be able to officially get married starting July 1st.
The vote comes less than a week after Rhode Island became the tenth state to legalize same-sex marriage. In a vote of 56 to 15, the Rhode Island state House approved changes in a bill approved by the state Senate. That evening Governor Lincoln Chafee (I) signed the bill into law.

April 13, 1965: Moore's Law
1965– You may have heard about Moore's Law. This states that every 18 months, a processor will double in speed. The law's name is coined after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore. He said: It can't continue forever. The nature of the exponential is that you push them out and eventually disaster happens. The law started with the Integrated circuit. It has continued to this day – especially since we switched ideas and, instead of speeding up, we double the amount of processors.

The sewing room renovation is complete - well really I should say the floors are done. The icky white, or more appropriately, not-so-white carpet is gone in this room along with a few others in our house. Who puts white carpets in a house anyway? People with no children/pets that's who! I never liked them from day one, and they are now happily gone! The lovely wood floors now extend from the front of the house through the kitchen and down the hallways to the bedrooms. I tell ya' people, that was a tough job. Never take a job in flooring, it's backbreaking work crawling around on your knees all the time. But it was worth it as long as I don't ever have to do it again - ha ha.
In truth the room I use as a sewing room, serves many purposes aside from sewing - office/computer space for the kids, reading/relaxation area - oh who am I kidding, we never sit in there and read or relax - but we do store all our books in there - that would be the reading part. Use number one would probably be sewing - since that takes over most of the time.
You know how you never quite finish a renovation? Well, maybe that's just us. But I still have to paint the trim on the windows now that we have painted the trim along the walls/floor white. But I figure I'll get to that eventually. For now the furniture is moved back in and everything is fully functional again. And somehow I even managed to reorganize the fabric storage in such a way that I seem to have more room - I keep telling myself that this must be a mistake and there must be a bin of fabric I've missed somewhere - but until the ball drops I'm gonna roll with it. See that armoire?
|From Trillium
I thought this was a fun pattern and definitely very quick to sew. It is constructed kind of unexpectedly I would say, but quite ingenious in design. So I snagged a few yards from my stash and voila!
I am definately making this one again - in fact I see presents on the horizon - who wants one? It's the perfect size and has lots of storage for water bottles, iPod, laptop, knitting or whatever. I liked it so much that I had to use it immediately for work the next day which is why the lining inside is still not completely sewn up ~ I can't seem to take it out of service long enough. Maybe I'll do that when I finish painting the trim! ha!
Happy sewing!

Barney's Rubble
Despite all the talk surrounding SOA, will the technology crash and burn like many others before?
That doesn't stop grandiose thinkers from trying.
In the early '90s IBM was in danger of losing total control of the software
market to Microsoft. Its answer was a scheme that made every rational computer
scientist's head spin clean off. Workplace OS was supposed to make nearly every
IBM operating system run on nearly every IBM hardware platform, and thus any
application could run on any box.
Want to run minicomputer software on a PC? No prob. How about OS/2 on big iron?
Workplace OS had that covered too.
I was just a lowly journalist writing for InfoWorld at the time (when
it still took trees and ink to produce the darn thing) but this Workplace OS
struck me as a wee bit ambitious. Heck, I was having a tough enough time just
getting Windows software to run on Windows!
I started hearing that the earliest and simplest pieces of Workplace OS weren't
going so well -- which made me question the whole premise. In an article that
had IBM representatives talking lawsuit, I argued that the whole scheme was
too complex, and given the state of the art of computer science at the time,
couldn't work. Turns out I was right.
I've seen other schemes fail to live up to the promises. Java's pretty cool,
but is it really write once run everywhere? What about Sun's Jini, a plan to
let any new hardware automatically be recognized and used across the network
-- kind of an uber hardware driver? Jini still exists, but so do my problems
connecting to local printers (never mind devices three thousand miles away)!
Microsoft has one such doozy in the form of Cairo, an operating system that
was supposed to be the ultimate in distributed computing and smart file access.
Cairo's feature list was way too big for Microsoft's development britches, and
the OS never shipped (except as pieces embedded in other tools).
Which leads me to SOA, or Service Oriented Architecture. SOA software is supposed
to run on any system (echoes of Workplace OS) and communicate easily with other
apps (a software equivalent of Jini?). And all these bits of newfangled SOA
code can be reused (didn't we use to call that object-oriented programming?).
And best of all, your legacy apps (read: spaghetti code) can be SOA-enabled
so they can run anywhere and talk to anything, and this old convoluted code
-- that should've been junked decades ago -- can be used again and again in
other apps.
I'm sure a SOA guru somewhere -- there's money to be made in making sense of
the intrinsically complex, just ask my Volvo mechanic -- will correct my definition
and explain why SOA's the greatest thing in software since 10 print "hello
To me SOA may be great, but knowing that IBM is one of its biggest proponents,
it might be another hugely expensive, massively complex technology that even
Wikipedia wonks won't remember.
