Why Netflix customers should be careful with emails about their account
Scam artists are reportedly taking aim at Netflix customers.
They're emailing users of the entertainment streaming service telling them their accounts are disabled but can be reactivated by updating their financial information, according to a report by Good Housekeeping magazine.
Tweeps, beware this Netflix email scam. DO NOT click any links in the email. pic.twitter.com/m8Pv3glGCT— Henry Hyde (@battlegames) September 14, 2017
While the messages look legitimate and even have the Netflix logo, the emails are coming from hackers.
A Netflix spokesperson issued a statement to the magazine.
"We take the security of our members' accounts seriously and Netflix employs numerous proactive measures to detect fraudulent activity to keep the Netflix service and our members' accounts secure," the spokesperson told Good Housekeeping. "Unfortunately, scams are common on the internet and target popular brands such as Netflix and other companies with large customer bases to lure users into giving out personal information. Members who want to learn more about how to keep their personal information safe against phishing scams and other malicious activity can go to netflix.com/security or contact customer service directly."
The scam is currently only affecting customers in the United Kingdom, but anyone using Netflix should be careful.

This weekend I've been gathered in a 50th reunion with classmates from Haverford College, class of 1968. Perhaps four dozen of us returned, many with spouses. We were an all-male class of 144 when we entered, something like 100 or 115 when we graduated on a rain-soaked day.
The reunion was filled with lunches and dinners, panel discussions and award ceremonies, and a great deal of sharing stories with one another. I was struck at how many good lives had been lived, how varied; and I was struck, too, by the relative lack of prominence-seeking among us. "We live in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have," one of my classmates quoted early in the reunion. That's from Henry James though my classmate had learned it from Parker Palmer. That seems a fitting tagline for my class, or at least where we are now.
This morning, we gathered in the Haverford Friends Meeting House, a short walk from campus, to remember the 20 or so of our class who are already deceased. Like all Quaker memorial services, this one was full of laughter and tears, and stories about people we missed. I knew all the deceased because we were so few to begin with, but a few I knew better than others.
Sitting in the midst of these stories at the memorial service, I found myself imagining us as planets, separated by distance one from another after graduation. We have continued to exert influence on one another, I thought, through remembered conversations and shared past experiences and escapades. For example, one classmate talked about the lasting influence of a difficult conversation he had with a roommate, now deceased, about a borrowed car. Such a small thing, a few minutes' talk, but such a long tail of consequence. It's like celestial gravity it seems, the way we have nudged one another in unexpected directions or set expectations for one another that continue to exercise influence over the decades. Story after story testified to those gravitational influences.
One thread that ran through the memorial service was AIDs. Two of our classmates had died of AIDS, both passings a surprise to nearly all of us. Sexual orientation was nothing I recollect talking about with my all-male classmates in the mid-1960s. How could that be in a time we thought of as an era of sexual revolution?
Nearly constant in my mind through the weekend was the disturbance in the cosmos we call the Vietnam War and probably should call the American War on Vietnam. All of us in the class of 1968 graduated into the predicament of what we would do with the near-certain prospect of being drafted into the U.S. military, likely, if we submitted to that draft, to be sent to combat. I know the stories of many of my classmates. None among the 20 deceased had been killed in combat. Only a few of us served in the military. Some had gone to Canada; some had found unlikely deferments or medical exemptions. Two had gone underground after the Chicago Days of Rage. There were several conscientious objectors in my class, not surprising for a Quaker college. A few, like me, had refused induction but never been prosecuted.
One, Bud Alcock, had rejected his offer of conscientious objection (he was a birthright Quaker) and had instead chosen jail by refusing induction. He served 22 months in Allenwood. (Bud was among the deceased. I don't know what cause his death.) I saw Bud only a few times after his stint at Allenwood. I could see that he was more reserved after that experience. In an article about him a few years before he died he was quoted as saying, "You know you'll lose time [in jail], but most of us lost our self-confidence too. Prison destroys your self-reliance. I imagine that some of us didn't recover." That was sad; almost certainly true. Yet one of my classmates talked at the memorial service about the moral influence that Bud's decision to go to jail had had on him.
If we are planets, separated from one another by time and distance and yet exercising moral influence on one another – keeping faith – then the Vietnam War was like a chill wind through our galaxy that scattered us all the more. It sent people on unexpected Odysseys, all of which led to different futures than had we graduated into calm weather. All were affected; some of us were battered much more than others by that wind.
I was fortunate never to be prosecuted. The experience of refusing induction stiffened my moral spine. There is probably more good than bad in that. A friend was rejected when he tried to enlist because of a minor skin rash. He might never have finished college (or lived very many more months) save for that fickle gust of wind. A friend went to Canada and has never again lived in the U.S., an unthinkable path save for the war. To win a deferment, yet another friend went to medical school as well as pursuing a Ph.D. Years later, because he could see patients and do clinical research, he could engage in the struggle to save people from the scourge of HIV, a challenge he took up with determination. He attributes that determination, in part, to the examples of his classmates who had been engaged in earlier struggles for peace and justice.
For every one of the classmates whose stories I know (many, by no means all), I can see the effect of the war's scattering wind on the moral gravity that has held us together over five decades. But I can also still see the continuing influence of that moral gravity that binds us together. I am grateful that our planetary paths brought us so close together this weekend.
We talked only a little about the current travails of this nation; we know we share a perspective on that. Instead we renewed friendships. Who knew gravity could have such a buoyant effect.

Titles, abstracts, presentations
- David Adams: "Simplicial approach to knot and link invariants via discretized TQFTs"
I will review how abelian BF gauge theory (a particular TQFT) can be discretized using a simplicial cell decompostion of the 3-dimensional spacetime manifold and its dual cell decomposition. This leads to a simplicial version of the Gauss linking number formula for linked knots. Then I will discuss simplicial discretization of nonabelian BF theory where the goal is to find simplicial versions of integral formulae for the coefficients of the Alexander-Conway polynomial (a knot invariant). Finally, prospects for extending the simplicial approach to other knot and link invariants will be discussed.
- Scott Carter: "Knotted foams and G-families of quandles"
A 2-foam is a compact topological space that is modeled on the dual to the tetrahedron, Y2. Every point in the foam has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to a neighborhood of a point in Y2. In Y2 there is a single vertex at which three edges and six faces are incident. Along each edge, three faces intersect. A foam can be knotted. The local pictures for crossings correspond to chains in a homology theory that is associated to a G-family of quandles. In this talk, I will outline the homology theory, and demonstrate some non-trivial knottings.
- → "Reidemeister/Roseman-type moves to foams" [long]
- → "Homology of G-families of quandles and knotted foams" [short]
- Pedro Castelo Ferreira: "String D-branes description from 2+1D topological field theory
The string world sheet D-branes vertex operators are derived from the orbifolding of 2+1D topological massive gauge theories coupled to a dynamical scalar field. It is shown that the boundary conformal field theory states corresponding to D-branes are described by the vacuum states of the bulk theory and the brane tension is set by the bulk mass scales. [hep-th/0308101]
- Laurent Charles: "Topological quantum field theory and semi-classical limit"
I will present recent results obtained in collaboration with J. Marche, on the semi-classical limit of knot states and the Witten asymptotic conjecture. I will address the following points:
- Witten asymptotic expansion of the partition function;
- definition of Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants from skein relations;
- SU(2)-character manifold of knot exteriors;
- Verlinde basis and theta functions;
- q-difference relations and Toeplitz operators;
- semi-classical limit of knot states.
- → "TQFT and semi-classical limit"
- Dan Christensen: "Computation of traces in the representation theory of the symmetric and unitary groups"
I will review the classification of representations of the symmetric and unitary groups, and how they are related to each other. In particular, I will describe the Young projection operators whose images give the irreducible representations. Then I will describe how computations of traces of maps of symmetric group representations can be used to compute traces of maps of U(n) representations for all n at once and will explain how this can be expressed in the language of traced monoidal categories. Finally, I will give new formulas which use the Young projection operators to construct a family of orthogonal projections which are convenient for such computations. If there is time, I will explain why this is potentially useful for computations in lattice gauge theory.
- Louis Crane: "From TQFT to quantum gravity to the UFT"
I will outline how the categorical construction techniques from TQFT could be extended to construct a unified field theory.
- Sebastian de Haro: "Holographic renormalization and the holographic Cotton tensor"
After introducing the technique of holographic renormalization, I will focus on the case of self-dual four-dimensional geometries which are asymptotically locally AdS (anti-de Sitter) and discuss some of their holographic properties. I will show that the holographic stress energy tensor encoded in these geometries is the Cotton tensor of the conformal boundary geometry.
- → "Holographic Renormalization and the Holographic Cotton Tensor"
- João Faria Martins: "Categorifying the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov connection"
In the context of higher gauge theory, we construct a flat and fake flat 2-connection in the configuration space of n particles in the complex plane, which categorifies the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov connection. We define the differential crossed module of horizontal 2-chord diagrams, categorifying the Lie algebra of horizontal chord diagrams in a set of n parallel copies of the interval, therefore yielding a categorification of the 4-term relation. We discuss the representation theory of differential crossed modules in chain-complexes of vector spaces, which makes it possible to formulate the notion of an infinitesimal 2-R matrix in a differential crossed module. We present several open problems.
The talk is based on joint with Lucio Cirio
- Dana Fine: "A rigorous path integral for supersymmetric quantum mechanics"
We construct an approximate path integral for the propagator at time t in imaginary-time supersymmetric quantum mechanics on a Riemannian manifold. The approximate path integral takes the form of a product, depending on a partition of [0,t], of approximate heat kernels. The fine-partition limit exists, thereby providing a rigorous definition of the path integral, and agrees with the heat kernel for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on forms. We extract the small-t behavior of the limit, which, upon restricting the paths to loops, agrees with the steepest-descent approximation to the heuristic path integral. This yields a path integral proof of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem.
- → "A rigorous path integral for supersymmetric quantum mechanics"
- Bjoern Gohla: "Toward Power Objects of Gray-Categories"
We shall report on an ongoing project to define an internal hom for Gray-categories, which can serve to describe tri-connections on manifolds.
- Sergei Gukov: "Super-A-polynomial"
The generalized volume conjecture states that "color dependence" of the colored Jones polynomial is governed by an algebraic variety, the zero locus of the A-polynomial (for knots) or, more generally, by character variety (for links or higher-rank quantum group invariants). This relation, based on SL(2,C) Chern-Simons theory, explains known facts and predicts many new ones.
In particular, since the colored Jones polynomial can be categorified to a doubly-graded homology theory, one may wonder whether the generalized (or quantum) volume conjecture admits a natural categorification. In these lectures, I will argue that the answer to this question is "yes" and introduce a two-parameter deformation of the A-polynomial that describes the "color behavior" of the HOMFLY homology, much like the ordinary A-polynomial does it for the colored Jones polynomial. This deformation, called the super-A-polynomial, is strong enough to distinguish mutants, and its most interesting properties include relation to knot contact homology and knot Floer homology.
These lectures are based on a joint work with Hiroyuki Fuji, Marko Stosic, and Piotr Sulkowski.
- → "Super-A-polynomial"
- Marco Mackaay: "sl3 web algebras and categorical Howe duality"
Kuperberg gave a diagrammatic presentation of the representation theory of quantum sl3, using spiders or webs. In order to categorify the quantum sl3 knot invariants, Khovanov introduced foams, which are 2d cobordisms with a particular type of singularity.
In my talk, which is on joint work with Weiwei Pan and Daniel Tubbenhauer, I will introduce a new algebra K(S), called the web algebra. This algebra is defined using webs and foams and is the sl3 analogue of Khovanov's arc algebra. In this definition, S is a sign sequence of length n.
I will first show that K(S) is a finite-dimensional graded Frobenius algebra.
After that, I will explain skew Howe duality. In this particular instance, it implies that W(S), the space of webs with boundary determined by S, is isomorphic to a certain weight space of V, the irreducible quantum sln module of highest weight (3k), with n=3k.
Finally, I will explain the main result of my work with Pan and Tubbenhauer, which is the categorification of this particular instance of Howe duality. It gives a precise relation between K(S) and the cyclotomic KLR-algebra with highest weight (3k). In particular, this implies that K(S) categorifies W(S).
- Brendan McLellan: "Perturbative Chern-Simons theory revisited"
In 2005 Chris Beasley and Edward Witten completely reformulated Chern-Simons theory using contact structures on closed three manifolds. This formulation allowed them to apply the method of non-abelian localization to compute the bare partition function for a special class of contact structures on some closed Seifert three manifolds. This talk will investigate some perturbative aspects of Beasley and Witten's work with the aim of understanding their reformulation beyond the special contact structures they consider.
- Ambar Sengupta: "Categorical parallel-transport"
There has been considerable interest and activity in the interface between geometry and category theory. In this talk we discuss the notions of categorical bundles and categorical connections on such bundles. We explore several examples, including a class of examples involving bundles of 'decorated' paths over spaces of paths.
Much of this talk reports on ongoing joint work with S. Chatterjee and A. Lahiri.
- → "Categorical parallel-transport"
- Marko Stosic: "Structure of colored HOMFLY homology of knots"
In this talk, we give a list of structural properties of colored HOMFLY homology that categorifies colored HOMFLY polynomial. The main ingredients are the "colored differentials" that relate homological invariants of knots colored by different representations. The differentials are predicted by the physics insights that include BPS states counting and Landau-Ginzburg theories, and give a very rigid structure on colored HOMFLY homology theories.
- Sara Tavares: "Observables in two-dimensional BF theory"
Yang-Mills theory in two-dimensions is remarkably close to a topological theory. In this talk we will readdress the connection with BF theories highlighting the TQFT interpretation of the spinfoam approach to quantization. We will also introduce the mathematical model that allows us to treat surfaces with inbuilt topological defects and how we expect them to relate to operators in the quantum field theory.
- → "Observables in two-dimensional BF theory"
- George Thompson: "Casson type invariants from physics"
I evaluate the path integral representation of the Euler characteristic of the space of flat SU(n) connections on the Lens spaces L(p,1).
- Derek Wise: "Extended TQFT in a bimodule 2-category"
Extended topological quantum field theory generalizes topological field theory by going one codimension further, allowing not only manifolds boundary, but manifolds with corners. I will describe work in progress with Jeffrey Morton towards defining an extended topological quantum field theory based on gauge theory for a compact Lie group. In our framework: 1) each compact (n-2)-manifold is assigned a von Neumann algebra, 2) each (n-1)-dimensional cobordism is assigned a bimodule of von Neumann algebras, and 3) each n-dimensional cobordism between cobordisms is assigned a bimodule homomorphism.
- Alessandro Zampini: "Gauge theory on quantum Hopf bundle"
The idea of this talk is to describe how the U(1) Hopf fibrations over the two dimensional quantum sphere depends on the differential calculi on the variuos spaces, how it is possible to define a Hodge duality in order to define Laplacians, how these Laplacians are coupled to gauge connections.
- → "Yang-Mills equations on quantum spheres"

Suicide Commando
Going strong for 30 years, Suicide Commando have not only been pioneers of the harder Electro genre, but continue being innovators up to this very day.
Formed in summer 1986 by Johan van Roy, the band made a name for itself through a series of self-released tapes from the late Eighties to the early Nineties. When the group released its first full-length CD "Critical Stage" in 1994, it soon would evolve into one of the most popular and important acts of the scene.
On this and all of the subsequent releases, Van Roy explores the dark side of humanity with lashing beats, haunting atmospheric electronics and an addictively psychotic and relentlessly aggressive vocal style. With eternal club hits, such as the seminal "See You In Hell" or "Hellraiser" and an impressive roster of successful album releases, from the classics "Mindstrip", "Axis Of Evil", "Bind, Torture, Kill" and "Implements Of Hell" to the apocalyptic 2013-masterpiece "When Evil Speaks", Suicide Commando continue to be genre-defining while always evolving their very own trademark sound of synthetically-induced mayhem.
They are a regular guest at the biggest scene-related festivals around the world and are renowned for their energetic stage performance. With an ever-growing rabid fan base at their back, Suicide Commando are one of the most popular live acts of the entire scene.
The band is currently working on the next album and, judging from the sold-out advance single "The Pain That You Like", it will be nothing short of another Hard-Electro-milestone.
From the NJ/NYC's Underground Music Scene comes Xentrifuge, a brutal assault of Harsh Industrial/Dark Electro, constructed by the collectively innovative minds of Chris X and Lisa Hellen.
Xentrifuge brings a groundbreaking blend of Industrial-based sound, fused with noise, and a touch of heavy guitar work to create a hauntingly melodic, yet raw and unforgiving product.
✖Chris X started Xentrifuge in 2005 - a blend of Harsh Industrial and Dark Electro.
✖In 2007, "Light Extinguished" was released on Noitekk/Black Rain Media, Gravitator, and COP Int. (Peaking at number six on the DAC, Xentrifuge established a loyal international following).
✖In 2009, Xentrifuge continued to break boundaries. The highly anticipated second album "Converting Infinity", was a hit with fans and the world-wide industrial music scene.
Over the years, Chris X worked with a variety of live artists, but by 2012 realized something more stable was needed and Lisa Hellen quickly became an integral part of the band.
Always evolving, in 2014 Xentrifuge returned with a barrage of singles and remixes as well as live performances.
The duo released the single, "Machine Winter" in 2016 which immediately became a fan favorite. A final version of the song will appear on the upcoming full-length album, "Desensitized Parallels" due out early 2018 - available worldwide via Cleopatra Records.
Xentrifuge brings high energy and ravenous presence to the stage and infects the crowd with a raw, relentless, yet unique package for fans of the dance-floor and mosh-pit alike!
Sys2matik Ovrl0ad
Goth pop, Industrial electro band from Philadelphia, PA. Brand new album coming out.

World's First And Only Conversation-Driven Marketing And Sales Platform Attracts New Investment From Sequoia Capital And Plans To Add 100+ Employees Over Next 12 Months.
Drift, the world's first and only conversation-driven marketing and sales platform, announced a $32M Series B round of financing. The round was led by General Catalyst, with participation from CRV and HubSpot — all existing investors — and Sequoia Capital, the latest investor in Drift.
Unlike traditional marketing and sales software that relies on forms and follow-ups, Drift connects businesses with the best website visitors in real-time using bots and artificial intelligence. Since going to market in April 2016, over 50,000 businesses have used Drift to generate more qualified leads, dramatically accelerate the sales cycle, and provide a modern buying experience for potential customers.
"The marketing and sales tools that most businesses rely on today were built for a world that no longer exists," said David Cancel, founder and CEO, Drift. "We live in an on-demand world with infinite choice, and yet we force potential customers to fill out forms and jump through hoops in order to talk to us. Buyers have all of the power today and place a premium on convenience and customer experience. Businesses need to adapt to this shift in order to thrive, and that's what we're focused on at Drift."
"The Drift team is rewriting the playbook for modern sales and marketing," said Larry Bohn, Managing Director at General Catalyst. "The speed with which they've been able to do it and establish a leadership position in the market has blown us away. We are proud supporters of Drift and the conversation-driven revolution they are igniting."
"We have so much conviction in David and Elias as entrepreneurs that we invested in them multiple times," said Izhar Armony, General Partner at CRV. "I have seen their ability to lead and motivate teams, seek product/market fit, and build world-class marketing and sales products. When they approached us about their newest venture, Drift, we didn't hesitate in supporting this vision. David, Elias, and the team are building one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies I've seen at this stage, and the brand and movement they are creating is incredible."
In addition to support from existing investors, Sequoia Capital — an early investor in hypergrowth companies like Airbnb, Dropbox, Stripe, and Google — joins Drift as an investor in this round.
"Drift is the single best way to turn your website visitors into customers," said Pat Grady, partner at Sequoia. "David and Elias have built multiple products that have transformed how businesses market and sell. We're thrilled to partner with them on what is already their most promising company yet."

Features Review

Safety concerns of Venmo
To protect users against unauthorized transactions, Venmo adopts bank-level security, data encryption and PIN codes set up by users for mobile application use. However, it happens when these security measures fail to protect users' account information, leaving users to suffer financial loss.
The most frequent complaints about Venmo is the company's inability to email users when big changes have been made to their banking account information. In other words, hackers have the full freedom to change users' passwords and transfer their money, yet users have no idea about all of this.

|Universal Studios Hollywood Launches Online Casting Call -
Win A Trip to USH's Studio Tour Grand Opening with Jimmy Fallon
We recently reported about the addition of Jimmy Fallon to Universal Studios Hollywood's Famous Studio Tour. (Here) Many of you let us know that you also thought he was a great addition. Universal Studios Hollywood wants to give you the opportunity to attend the red carpet premiere of the grand opening. If you've ever wanted to be a Studio Guide at Universal Studios Hollywood, or thought that you could do it, now is the chance to show them what you've got.
How do you enter this contest, you ask? The first thing you need to do is grab your video camera, Flipcam, iPhone, Blackberry, Android, or what ever you use to shoot video. Then record a 90 second video of you giving a tour somewhere. Anywhere. This is your chance to show off the Studio Guide inside of you. Make sure that where ever it is that you're giving a tour to relates to a movie or movie making. Have no idea what I'm talking about? Okay, here's an example:
Showing off the backseat of my car:
Now I'm sure all of you remember this location. This is exactly where the animated action adventure musical dramedy '17 Minutes in Heaven' was shot, starring Tony Danza, Mayim Bialik, Jerry Mathers and Meshach Taylor! Of course '17 Minutes in Heaven' was based on the famous thrash metal love ballad from Engelbert Humperdink.
I'm calling foul if I see any of you try to use that one.
Be original, make it fun, make it original and make it entertaining. Speaking as a former Studio Guide (Yes, I have been both a Jungle Cruise Skipper and a Studio Guide), the last thing you want to do is be boring. That's a quick way to lose your audience very quickly. I would give more tips, but that wouldn't be fair now would it.
Now that your 90 second masterpiece is shot, head to the official Universal Studios Hollywood Facebook page to enter. (Facebook.com/
UniversalStudiosHollywood) Make sure to read all of the rules on their Facebook page before entering.
To enter you must be 18 years old, live in the U.S. and have your entry submitted by May 1, 2011 at 11:59 PM PDT. Then you can start spamming everyone with messages to remember to vote for you.
What say you? Have you ever thought about being a Studio Guide at Universal Studios Hollywood?

Hi tiny house lovers! My name is Samantha Morehead. Originally, I began work on the rEvolve House as a member of the electrical team. As our project evolved, everyone decided that we were in need of a team to be in charge of the aesthetic aspects of the house. I showed some interest in this area, so I stepped up as the team leader for the new architecture team. I could not be more pleased with my current role! I was drawn to the rEvolve house project because I had become very intrigued by the tiny house movement going on. Over the summer, I spent hours watching all of the various television shows about tiny houses that seem to be popping up all over the place. I even went to a Tiny House convention an hour and a half away from my house to check out some tiny homes in real life. I was beyond excited when I come back to Santa Clara University in September only to find out that our school was building a completely self-sufficient tiny house. So far, the tiny house mania that I have developed has served me well as architecture team leader.
The most recent decision that my team and I have made is selecting a theme for the interior of the house. There were a lot of opinions and ideas of what the inside would actually look like, so it was important to create one coherent vision that the entire rEvolve house team could use as we moved forward with designs. The theme that we decided on is what I like to call costal contemporary. The most important trait of this design style is create openness. We plan to achieve this using white walls with a wood ceiling to draw the eye upwards. We also want to use darker wood for the cabinets and bed in order to create a contrast with the white walls. Soft blues and greens are the main colors used in this design. We will include color in the back slash in the kitchen and also decorative pieces like the pillows and bedding. I think that including some plant life using terrariums might be a nice way to include some natural greens. I cannot wait to see our ideas come to life once it is time to start decorating. Updates to come!!!

A book I came across a book sale (99 pesos for two books; that's 2 american dollars). So in other words, I really did not expect much from it.
Plot: The plot was really boring. Its as if we spent the whole book experiencing a very dull time in Claire's life, which was also a boring part of her life. Lily tried to bring culture into the poem by introducing translations and food. But using such tools, in my opinion, are very unoriginal and unew. Also, they were small and wasteful attempts. Too force feeding in my opinion. If culture was to be presented, characters must be used...
Character: And the characters were really dull. It was quite obvious and transparent that their dialogue and personality was coming from only one source: the writer. They weren't wise, or reflective. Even if Claire admitted she "reads a lot". The slightest attempt to humor and reflection was a bore too.
Imagery: None out of the ordinary. I guess Lily Tuck, or the translator didn't try to make the book at least interesting.
Reflection: Like I said was lacking. The rare times that there were, were just full of rantings and fast paced thoughts, as if a daydreaming segment from any time at any part of our life!
Writing Style: I'm not a fan of it. Its really boring and tasteless. There's no imagery attach to them to make the reader feel a bunch of new things and experiences, without the degree of entertainment in the plot.
"Do you think changing taxis had something to do with Mr. Thompson's disappearance?""I don't know what to think anymore. All of a sudden it seems as if each event, no matter how mundane or trivial, has taken on significance." Connie Mangskau spoke slowly, she chose her words carefully. "If, for example, on our way up to the Highlands, we had run over a dog—one of those mangy, emaciated dogs one sees along the road—wouldn't that have also been perceived as a sign? Or if after you leave my store," Connie Mangsaku was smiling at Claire now, "you go out and murder someone, and the police come around to question me, I would try hard to remember something in your behavior that would provide them with a clue. 'Oh, yes, indeed,' I might say to the police, 'I saw her pick up a very rare and expensive blue and white Ming bowl and I was afraid she was going to drop it, she seemed so distracted."
"It's a beautiful bowl," Claire said, putting the bowl down.- Siam, 92. Lily Tuck

John Oliver's 2014 White House Correspondents' Dinner Segment Is The Only Thing You Need To Watch — VIDEO
The 2016 annual White House Correspondents' Dinner is on Saturday and will celebrate journalists and their White House coverage. The big event will be hosted by comedian and Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore, and will be attended by a superstar guest list that includes Priyanka Chopra, Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, and many others. And while this year's dinner will likely be interesting with Wilmore hosting, we'd like to take a quick trip down memory lane, back to some classic 2014 John Oliver coverage — specifically, what John Oliver said about the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2014 on his HBO late-night talk show, Last Week Tonight.
Oliver aired a short and witty segment on the event, which has been likened to a "nerd prom" by many media outlets. The comedian — as usual — wasn't shy about critiquing the event, claiming that the nerd prom "amazingly [is] actually even worse than it sounds." He started the segment by speaking of the ongoing turmoil in the Ukraine, and how it would have been discussed more had the dinner not been taking place the same week — something the public and media seem to do frequently. He noted, "Ukraine would have been the talk of the town in Washington all this week if they hadn't spend the last seven days party planning for last night."
Oliver also described the event as a night when "journalists celebrate their independence by hanging out with their sources and celebrate their importance by utterly ignoring one another in favor of Hollywood stars." When it came down to the real purpose of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Oliver noted, "the main purpose of the evening seems to be providing photos of glamorous celebrities completely unaware of who they are standing next to."
While the event is often fun and light, with presidential skits and comedic guests appearance — for instance, President Obama's 2015 "anger translator" skit — Oliver is right about the ethical qualms of celebrating journalism with America's rich and elite. He is right to point out just how much this event, the nerd prom, steers away from some of the most important issues facing the United States and the world. But we will hopefully see some fun Donald Trump jokes to lighten the dismal future of this country and the rest of the world in the case of his presidency.
I, for one, am looking forward to what Oliver might have to say about this year's dinner.

I swerved out of the way of a stray cheese puff, only to get my tires stuck in some maple syrup that had been spilled. This slowed me down, and I had to watch my competitors pass me while I attempted to race toward a toaster that would send me to the next part of the track. These are the fun, frantic moments that make Micro Machines World Series so much fun, and I really wish I had more of them to convey.
Developed by Codemasters, this Hasbro-licensed car combat game is filled with nostalgia. From being able to select a G.I. Joe tank as a vehicle to dying due to a Ouija board planchette moving about, I constantly was reminded of my childhood when playing World Series. There's a charm to the environments, which are filled with a variety of household items. The top-down racer can be incredibly charming when it's not frustrating the player.
Sadly, much of my experience with Micro Machines World Series left me wondering what Codemasters was thinking while they were developing the game. Instead of focusing on the racing that made Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament a hit in the '90s, the focus is instead on a competitive multiplayer mode that has players competing in capture-the-flag and king of the hill events. Each individual car is now a character, each with special abilities and a powerful ultimate attack that can change the way a match is going if used efficiently. It wants to be Overwatch with cars, as the game's loot boxes and skins make extremely clear, except none of the action is nearly as fun or satisfying.
Broken Online
Since Codemasters decided to focus on online multiplayer, one would expect it to have top-notch matchmaking, a variety of modes, and enough polish to keep players coming back. That simply isn't the case here, as the matchmaking is embarrassingly awful. Despite there being over 1,000 registered players on the leaderboards, the vast majority of the 12-player matches I got into were filled with computer-controlled cars. There were even instances where I was the only human in an online match. That's unacceptable.
The only way that I could guarantee to be playing with other humans was by inviting a friend to join my group, but since multiplayer is team-based it still meant that more often than not we were competing against a team full of bots. Maybe it'd be more fun if the bots had adaptive difficulty, but they typically crushed us while playing the battle mode. Most of my online matches weren't determined by player skill, but what team's bots played better. That's not a fun way to play a competitive multiplayer game. Things are slightly better when racing, as I occasionally managed to win the 12-player races, but when there's that many cars on a small track, a lot of time is spent respawning after being bumped off the track.
I thought things would get a little better once I unlocked the ranked mode, as surely they couldn't fill ranked matches with bots. After getting my player level to 10, I went to play ranked match only to be greeted with a message that says the "next season begins in 92 days." That's right, the ranked mode was locked for the next three months. At first I thought this had to be some sort of glitch I encountered, but I've talked to other players that also couldn't get into ranked play. Making the matter even more confusing is that the leaderboards show players that have competed in "season four" of ranked play, so my guess is that the whole online play is completely broken at the moment. Either way, the game clearly isn't working properly and this launch is somehow worse than Friday the 13th: The Game.
Micro Machines World Series Review (PS4) - PSLS
Cobra Strikes
Since the online is broken, I spent a fair amount of time in the game's local multiplayer mode, which is called Skirmish. This allows players to either do races (although this is solo-only), compete in free-for-all deathmatches (which is weirdly not a mode I ever encountered when playing online), or elimination races. None of these modes are particularly thrilling as the deathmatches remove the cars' ultimate abilities and all take place in tiny arenas, and elimination races (which have players get eliminated if they go off-screen during a race) tend to drag on far too long due to how the scoring works. The only mode I really enjoyed was the racing, but there wasn't really any good reason to race against the computer as I wasn't working my way through a grand prix.
Micro Machines is such a beloved series, so it's so incredibly disappointing to see its comeback marred by a lack of content and terrible online play. The core gameplay is solid, and the battle mode has a surprising amount of depth to it, but there's never a good way to experience it. There's no way to setup private online matches and to tailor the experience, nor is there a way to stay out of gameplay modes the player doesn't like. It's a bare-bones, rushed release of a series that deserves so much more.
Codemasters is typically a developer that prioritizes polish, so it's especially jarring to see Micro Machines World Series lacking features and decent online play. The matchmaking is currently a mess, ranked play is currently inaccessible for many, and there's no semblance of a campaign to keep players busy while the online is being worked on. It's too bad since there are moments of fun sprinkled within the frustrating online sessions, but more often than not I walked away unsatisfied. This could get fixed into a solid game, but players should be cautious until an overhaul occurs.

The movement is mounted in a porcelain drum with a porcelain dial, finely painted with floral swags, gilded work and applied porcelain jewels. It stands on an elaborate and heavily modelled base with laurel leaves and large scrolls. To the sides are lions mask handles and to the top an elaborate urn.
The French movement is of high quality and is by Japy Freres, supplying the partially completed movement for finishing by Jean-Baptiste Delettrez. The JBD mark is also on the bezel. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running.
Renown clockmaker Jean-Baptiste Delettrez (1816-1887) is listed as working in Tardy Dictionnaire des Horlogers as working at Rue de Berry au Marais in 1850. He formed a partnership after this with great Achille Brocot.
Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is clean and bright, some wear and discolouration particularly to the back door and rear panel. There is a casting fault to the case on the right hand side. Porcelain is also in good condition, some wear to the over glaze gilt decoration and some loss of porcelain jewels and the occasional mark. There is a light hairline to the porcelain drum but it is mounted on a brass liner and so is strong. We have replaced the fabric inside the rear door.
Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.

Nice to see we inspired someone...
Nice to see we inspired someone...
Happy Holidays to all!
I recorded Just A Tear sometime back with music producer Eddie Z and some fine jazz players in the Charlotte, NC area. Loved the finishished tracks...thought it time to share it with friends of Big Bus Dream. Hope you enjoy.
Mary's Spoken, recorded live with host Divakar in-studio at WEND (106.5 "The End")
Big Bus Dream - Mary's Spoken (Live in Studio) by Wampus Multimedia
I have been told I should write more about my tunes, my thought process...the meaning behind the song. In fact, my own label says I am negligent in this matter. But i have always felt it's most important what the listener hears, deciphers from the tune.
I will tell you that Big Bus Dream is about reaching for a dream. I would rather fall short of something great than succeed at nothing of consequence. The music is about failing at life but still lifting yourself up... because there's an unfullfuilled dream out there with my/your name on it.
So, if you are out there and listening, most important to me is what do you hear?
Thanks to Dan Herman over at Radio Crystal Blue for playing tracks this week off our current release, Big Dream Baby.
Check out the site: http://radiocrystalblue.net/home/ Thanks, Dan, for keeping our musical dream alive!
Thanks to DJ Rankin at Deegco Productions for a terrific shoot & final edit.

DJ Rankin, of Deegco Productions, has done a terrific job with the 1st round of edits on our upcoming C'mon & Run video. DJ's editing really strengthens the storyline. We're looking forward to getting the video up online later this month.
Until the video is up, do check out C'mon & Run (below link) & imagine your own storyline...
Thank you all for your feedback after last weekend's radio show. It is much appreciated. We had a good time playing Mary Has Spoken and doing the interview with Divakar.
The 1st round of edits are being done this weekend on the video for C'mon & Run. This will be my 1st time seeing the footage shot last month. So far, an interesting process!
We'll be over at Clear Channel's WEND (106.5 The End) studio this Saturday taping an in-studio acoustic performance and interview. Divakar will be hosting and spinning a few tracks off of the new release, Big Dream Baby. If in the listening area, tune in Sunday evening at 8:30 PM. You can also listen on-line @ www.1065.com. At some point we'll also post an MP3 of the acoustic performance.
The Big Bus Dream name comes from a lyric of mine, from the track Really Tired; this track (an early incarnation of the current track Fried) is off of 4th Ward's 2000 debut release. Below is the origin of Big Bus Dream:
"Sometimes, not always, but sometimes it seems
I'm a special tourist in your big bus dream
But you're driving eyeless on this one-way street
Can't you hear us coming in this very big machine"
Shooting for C'mon & Run is complete. We are now waiting on the rough cut...and looking forward to putting the final up on the site for you. Until then, a few lyrics from C'mon & Run...
"You better have a thick coat baby, so when they stick you it doesn't hurt. You better have some quick moves darlin', know when to hit the dirt. You better have some big dreams baby, cause dreamers built this place. Never think your it and others are not...hatred has an ugly face"
We'd love for you to check out our tunes on the listen/buy page. we hope you climb onboard our bus. Thanks to Mark Doyon at Wampus Multimedia - www.wampus.com - for keeping our dream alive... "gotta have a big dream baby!"
Great shoot Sunday. We did interiors at an abandoned textile mill. DJ Rankin, Deegco, did a terrific job behind the camera, as well as bringing in a fun group of actors to work alongside me and Chick. The remaining shoot is this coming week. The video should be completed by the end of the month. It should be interesting...not your usual fare.
Big Dream Baby is out tomorrow! We'd love to have you onboard for the ride!!
We begin shooting our video for the new tune C'mon & Run on Sunday 3-25. D J Rankin is doing the shoot. We'll be shooting up in the NoDa area.
Our new release, Big Dream Baby, hits the streets March 27, 2012. It's being released on Wampus Multimedia.

Terrence Ross loves steak, has an unbelievable story of his first dunk ever
It's time to get to know your 2015-16 Toronto Raptors, and Terrence Ross is a good member of the team with which to start. He's friendly, he's affable, and he wants to dunk all over opponents. What more can you ask for in a player from your favorite team?
In preparation for the start of another 82-game schedule, the good folks over at SportsNet put together a video interview series with the Raptors. It's your typical fare — what's your favorite food? What would your last meal be? Do you collect anything? — and Ross is game throughout. In fact, after watching this video, you're going to want to be best friends with the high-flying wing:
A quick rundown from Ross:
He most recently got caught singing Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy." Random, Ross admits. His last meal would be steak, potatoes and shrimp. An excellent choice, of course. He collects shoes. His favorite thing about Canada is Tim Horton's. And the first time he dunked, he was in the seventh grade and on a fastbreak. And he barely got the ball over the rim with his eyes closed.
That's just not fair. We couldn't dunk with our eyes wide open. And Ross' very first dunk ever was with a biological blindfold? Not fair at all.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so they say. And it was out of necessity that the soy-infused bath and body line, B. Skin, was created. Founder Gillian Downes was diagnosed with dermatitis and, as a result, had to dispose of her existing skincare stash. She then got the bright idea to make her own. Catch is all the products had to be gentle enough not to irritate her skin. I guess it worked because she's now expanded her line to include shower gels, lotions, body butters and massage oils. They all smell like one of my favorite things: food! (as well as a host of other spices and other yummy scented things). I tried the Sweet Orange And Chocolate Soy Milk Shower Gel. It has a nice lather and makes a good bubble bath, too. And, mmm, it smells so good, thanks to the essential oils. I also like the no-nonsense packaging, which is in stark contrast to some glitzier brands that overpromise and underdeliver. However, the gel left a somewhat oily residue on my washcloth (but luckily not on my skin), probably also due to the essential oils. Small (and worthwhile) sacrifice. Find Sweet Orange And Chocolate Soy Milk Shower Gel and other B. Skin products at becleansmellgood.com.
