online service passwords Yahoo etc
After the latest admissions from yet another online service, Yahoo, that account logins, passwords etc have been compromised, it is timely to consider the implications – especially as a lot of UK BT Internet users use Yahoo for their email.
The most important piece of advice is to login and change your password ASAP, and don't re-use the same passwords for any other online services.
It is worth using 2-factor security, where any attempt to login in on a different new device has to be authenticated with something like a one-off code sent to your nominated mobile phone number. Google, among others, offers other off-line options as well.
There is a good article about the considerations and how passwords should be safeguarded by on-line services here: www.howtogeek.com/171236/why-you-should-worry-whenever-a-services-password-database-is-leaked.
A very good way to handle logins, passwords etc is to use a Password and Form Manager. This can automatically generate unique, strong passwords for all your logins etc and fill them in automatically once you've logged into the Password Manager with a single, memorable but strong password. I use RoboForm – as well as managing logins and passwords in this way it can also securely fill-in on-line forms. It has versions for Windows, Mac OS, Android and iPhone. The RoboForm EveryWhere feature will securely synchronise your logins etc on-line, so that changes and new logins added on, say, your phone are updated on your computer.
If you use a password manager don't forget to delete saved passwords in your web browser, here's how to do it.
Update Fri 16th'Dec:
A colleague has reminded me that you can check to see if your email address or login has been compromised at haveibeenpwned.com it can also alert you to future compromises.

Thanksgiving kicks off a season of holiday delights. Ski Santa Fe opens its doors promptly at 9 am on Thursday Nov. 22, providing the option to make some turns and burn some serious calories before sitting down to an evening or afternoon feast. On Friday Nov. 23, the Plaza's Christmas lights are fired up, marking the official beginning of Santa Fe's winter festivities. And for the epicure with a lazy streak, there's a lot to be thankful for, such as a food scene replete with delicious local options within easy reach. Below are a few highlights for last-minute, face-stuffing good times on Turkey Day, whether dining out on the town or feasting at home.
If you feel like outsourcing the cooking part of the holiday, there's a bounty of top restaurants offering Thanksgiving feasts. In addition to a three-course prix fixe menu, La Casa Sena (125 E Palace Ave., 988-9232) offers a complete meal takeout service. Choose from three dinner menus that serve eight to 10 people, each featuring a different entree course. For $179.99, nosh on a red chile-glazed turkey, for $199.99 the restaurant offers a roasted Colorado bone-in lamb leg, and for $194.99 you can get half lamb, half turkey. But get on it: You have to order by Nov. 17. Sides include truffle-infused mashed potatoes, green chile gravy and blue cornbread stuffing. Or make a reservation to visit in person and, for $75 a head, gorge on herb roasted free-range turkey, smoked duck breast or grilled Scottish salmon. But of course, get on that too, because they were nearly at capacity on Monday.
Another fabulous dining menu awaits at El Nido (1577 Bishops Lodge Road, 954-1272), which offers a $60 three-course prix fixe that includes a vegetarian entrée of butternut squash ravioli with sage brown butter and caramelized walnuts, not to mention the more classic offerings of herb roasted turkey and braised lamb shank. There's plenty of pumpkin to go around, too, including a soup course, gelato and pie. Make that reservation STAT!
For home cooks scouring for the right raw materials at the last minute, local grocery stores have sweet Thanksgiving deals as well. At Kaune's Neighborhood Market (511 Old Santa Fe Trail, 982-2629), order a cage-free turkey at $2.69 a pound, sourced from Amish farms in Minnesota. Friday Nov. 16 is the cutoff date to order, but the deli offers plenty of prepared meats, sides and salads to otherwise create a meal.
If you're feeling especially lazy, most stores feature entire pre-made meals, priced according to however many they feed. Try the Thanksgiving plate specials for $17.99 a person at La Montañita Co-op (913 W Alameda St., 984-2852), which feature Mary's Free Range Turkey from Pitman Farms in California, plus mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing, maple glazed yams, green beans and rolls. There's also a vegetarian and vegan option, which substitute a sliced mushroom loaf in place of turkey. Find also pre-made side dishes priced at $9.99 a pound, such as green chile and butternut squash enchiladas, calabacitas and vegan wild rice and piñon crusted green beans. Pre-ordered holiday offerings at the co-op are available until Monday Nov. 19.
But if you're hard-pressed at the last minute to come up with the means to make a feast, Whole Foods Market (753 Cerrillos Road, 992-1700) takes Thanksgiving orders right up until Tuesday Nov 20. Find two turkey options, a conventionally styled at $2.49 a pound, and a hormone- and antibiotic-free organic option for $3.49 a pound. But be forewarned: Braving the parking lot during the holiday rush is not for the faint of heart.
Finally, for keeping it as local as possible, the Tuesday Santa Fe Farmers Market (1607 Paseo de Peralta, 983-4098) comes to an official close on Nov. 20, marking a perfect time to pick up any last-minute farm-fresh pumpkins or squash, apple cider, local honey, ristras and a wide array of meats, produce and cheeses from neighboring farms.
Finally, for desserts, Chocolate Maven (821 W San Mateo Road, 984-1980) boasts a wide array of treats, from a caramel chocolate pecan pie ($17), a flaky, green chile spiced apple pie ($24) and an assortment of croissants, muffins and rolls ($16) for lazy morning feasting. They request you order at least 24 hours in advance, and the earlier the better to preserve everyone's sanity—and if you want to pick up even as late as Thursday morning, they'll be there, either with your pre-ordered pie or a stack of take-away treats ready for the procrastinators.
Freshly baked treats are also available at Dolina Bakery & Café (402 N Guadalupe St., 982-9394) and include a shaker pie filled with zingy Meyer lemon-flavored filling ($36) and a sour cream coffee cake flavored with cinnamon spiced pecans ($25). You need to order a pie at least a day in advance, and they're closed Thursday, so decide by Tuesday what you would like.
For the gluten-free and vegan looking to score some safe-space styled holiday treats, local pop-up bakery Drift and Porter is scheduled to be open on Sunday Nov. 18 at the Railyard Artisan Market (1607 Paseo De Peralta, 577-4809) to preside over an array of jewel-like treats priced according to size from $6 to $10, including mini apple pies and fritters, chocolate whoopie pies with pumpkin buttercream and cinnamon buns.
But whatever your preferences, Thanksgiving in Santa Fe promises to fully deliver on flavor and fun.

Ethoxylated alkyl imidazolines with appropriate ethoxylation degrees can be used as antioxidants and retarders in the formation of peroxides resulting from oxidation in hydrocarbon media. In this work, ethoxylated imidazolines were shown to be more effective in hydrocarbon media in comparison with reference antioxidants. According to the experimental results, ethoxylated alkyl imidazolines (12 moles EO), as an antioxidant, were twice as efficient as zinc dialkyldithiophosphoric acid (ZDDP).

The anticorrosive performances of the coated samples were studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Cathodic disbonding resistance and the adhesion performance of the two coating systems were measured by cathodic delamination and pull-off test respectively. The charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance obtained from EIS revealed the greater anticorrosive performance of the coating modified by zinc aluminum phosphate compared to the one treated with zinc phosphate. While an electrolyte diffuses in the organic coating, phosphate pigments dissolve and make a passive layer on the surface of mild steel. Due to the more solubility of ZAP in comparison with ZP, the cathodic desbonding resistance and adhesion of the epoxy powder coating containing ZAP were greater than those of ZP-loaded powder coating. The results show that the anticorrosive performance of the epoxy powder coating containing ZAP is better than that of the epoxy powder coating modified with ZP.

Brownian diffusion and drag, gravitational, thermophoresis, buoyancy, and shear removal are considered as possible mechanisms in the asphaltene deposition process. The thermo-physical properties of the fluid were obtained from Iranian oil fields. A model was used in the pipeline deposition modeling to predict the asphaltene deposition rates under flow conditions. The effects of particle size, temperature gradient, and fluid velocity were studied on asphaltene deposition rate. The results showed that, among the above-mentioned mechanisms, the gravitational and thermophoresis forces played a significant role in the formation of the deposit under the flow conditions. To verify the model, some predictions were compared with the available aerosol deposition data in the literature.

The equilibrium sorption isotherms and kinetics were investigated. The equilibrium adsorption was studied by the Langmuir and Freundlich models of adsorption. The experimental results manifested that the Langmuir isotherm was the best model for the adsorption of CR by TW and implied the monolayer adsorption of CR on TW with the adsorption capacity of 40.6 mg/g at 30 °C. The kinetic data resulted from batch experiments were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. It was found that pseudo-second-order model provided the best fit for the experimental data (R2>0.99). The results illustrated that both silica and Fe2O3 nanoparticles increased the adsorption of CR on TW by about 5% and 10% at 30 °C, respectively. The results suggested that TW should be a potential low-cost adsorbent for the removal of CR from aqueous solution.

The breakthrough curves of the adsorption process of CR on TW at three different flow rates are determined. The results revealed that the breakthrough curves were dependent on flow rates in a manner in which a lower flow rate was in favor of the CR adsorption in the column-mode process. As the flow rate increased from 4.6 to 6.6 mL/min, the amount of dye uptake capacity decreased from 1.78 to 1.53 mg/g. The effect of the presence of Fe2O3 on the adsorption of CR on TW is also studied at 30 °C. The results showed that the presence of nanoparticles increased the adsorption uptake of CR by about 32%. Moreover, four novel models are developed for the prediction of the breakthrough curves resulted from the experimental data. The results of the models were in good agreement with experimental data (R2>0.99). The statistical parameters confirm the suitability of the models.

A feasibility study of managed pressure drilling (MPD) is carried out on Iran Darquain oil field. The previous wells drilled in this field showed that mud returns were lost during drilling Gadvan formation. The present work addresses this problem by means of surface back pressure application in Darquain oil field. The methodology employed in this study is based on hydraulic analysis calculations and comparative drilling operation pressures. The DZxION MPD software performs hydraulic analysis using the API RP 13D rheological model and calculates the annular pressure drop to compare the pressures and the required back pressure, if needed. Using a mud weight of 14.31 ppg and exerting 100 psi static back pressure, the wellbore pressure profile got slightly overbalanced. When the mud pumps are in service, no back pressure is required. The problem is resolved and no kick or loss is observed using a MW of 14.31 ppg and a static back pressure of 100 psi. As a result, the managed pressure drilling technology is useful in Iran Darquian oil field through using a lower mud weight in order to overcome the circulation loss in Sarvak formation. This study is based on hydraulic analysis calculations and comparing the drilling operation pressures in Darquain oil field. For analyzing the pressure regimes throughout the well, DZxION managed pressure drilling software performs hydraulic analysis. This software calculates annular pressure drop and equivalent circulating density to compare the pressures and required back pressure, if needed. By using this method to drill the well, some advantages were gained: the mud weights used to drill the well, the number of casing strings, and the number of changing mud weights were reduced.

Gordonia alkanivorans RIPI90A is able to convert dibenzothiophene, an organic sulfur compound in petroleum, to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP) in 4S pathway. In this study, (DBT), DszA and DszB, DBT sulfone monooxygenase, and desulfinase were respectively isolated from G. alkanivorans RIPI90A. PCR amplified fragments were obtained by using primers designed based on known sequences from G. alkanivorans RIPI90A. They are identified as dszA and dszB and have shown high similarity compared to Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 (88% for dszA and 88% for dszB). Subsequently, dszA and dszB genes were expressed under the control of T7 promoter in Escherichia coli. The recombinant proteins were purified to achieve homogeneity using Ni-agarose column chromatography. The molecular mass of the purified DszA and DszB were determined to be 51.9 and 39.2 kDa respectively by using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. DszA showed a Km of 0.14±0.005 mM and a maximal velocity of 0.004±0.0004 mM/min. DszB showed a wide substrate range in a way that all aromatic sulfonates compounds acted as its substrate; as it seemed the active site was suitable for the sulfonated aromatic rings.

The modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled Eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). The model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-block interaction under both water and gas injection scenarios. The results and conclusions obtained from the single porosity single block and 6-block model were used in order to optimize the full field model. The simulation results showed that gas injection worked as a major recovery mechanism for medium and good rock types at all block heights and for poor rock type with block heights of more than 2 meters. The oil recovery results were in the same range for the single and six-stack block model, but the delay of oil recovery by gas gravity drainage is clearly seen in the six-stack block results indicating a period of at least 8-10 years required for reaching ultimate oil recovery for typical block heights. The water injection simulations showed that water imbibes drained the matrix block in a short time dependent on water front advancement in the fracture system surrounding the block. From the simulation results, it was concluded that the water imbibition process was a fast recovery mechanism for all block heights dependent on injection rate and fracture volume which had to be flooded to achieve full recovery of the block. The expected recovery factor of drained oil to initial oil in place after water injection was in the range of 15-35 % for poor to good rock types and different block sizes in the range of 1-5 meters.

I grew up as a gymnast and then transitioned into a cheerleader. It was easy for me to jump into the cheer world because I had 10+ years experience in tumbling. In the cheer world it's factually known that "you can teach anyone to stunt, but you can't teach anyone to tumble". While this is true, tumbling is now a significant skill in cheerleading and whatever level you stunt, should be the same level you tumble.
In women's gymnastics there are four apparatuses, vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. I'm not sure if most are aware, but no matter how talented and skilled you are in one event, you are not allowed to move up to the next level until you score out at a competition, showing that you are ready for the next level. Just because you can do a cartwheel on the beam, but you can't do a back handspring on the floor, doesn't make you ready for level 6. Gymnastics is an all around sport (until college) and cheerleading should be treated the same. How do I think this should be regulated? I'll tell you.
Just like in gymnastics, when a new athlete enters into a cheer gym, they need to be assessed. Not just on tumbling, but strength, stunts, and jumps. I understand that there may not be a "perfect" level for everybody at the gym that they feel most at home, but an athlete needs to be placed on a level in accordance with their tumbling (for the most part) and age. If you have a child who is 7 and can be held in a stunt by a bunch of strong 11 year olds but can't do a tuck does not mean she needs to be on a youth 4. She needs to be on a mini or youth 1 or 2 depending on her tumbling. I'm sorry to break it to you, but stunting is not all cheerleading is about.
Sorry, I got off track. But the main point that I'm getting to, is there needs to be a skill sheet that all athletes need to pass in order to move up to the next level. Especially with the younger athletes. I believe that if you are a level 3 athlete you should be able to stunt AND tumble level 3. Gymnasts don't get to go to a competition and tell the judges "hey, I'm going to compete level 9 on floor, level 7 on beam, and level 6 on vault and bars". It doesn't work like that. Yes, individuals will have their weaker events, but they just work that much harder to make sure they can compete at the level they are meant to compete at. I understand that cheerleading is a team sport, but these athletes are pushing to get to a level 5 team, and then what? They're 11 and a level 5 cheerleader…now they have 7 years to perfect a level they should have perfected already. If they slow down and learn the basics to every element in cheer, once they get to the level 5 division, injuries will dwindle and the athletes who don't want to take the time and effort to become excellent will be eliminated.
It's okay to be 10 years old and on a youth 2 team for 2 years. The goal isn't to move up a level each year. The goal is to learn and progress. It's also okay to stay in a level for an extra year because there isn't a level at your gym that fits your needs. Have you ever competed on a team where there was no stress or pressure? It's kind of fun. Oh and another random thought; I've never had a mental block, so I could be wrong, but I think progression would take away majority of the "mental blocks" that are very common in cheerleading.
A skill sheet, along with a universal scoring system will not only help with keeping cheerleading more conformable, but it will also better the chances of cheerleading becoming a sport.
Thanks for reading!

Muscadine Memories
Frankie Graham, Fayetteville, a member of Lumbee River EMC
This is one of the best places in my grandfather's yard. Here grows plump and sweet muscadine grapes every year. I thought it was so much fun to duck under the grape vines with him and my sister and search for grapes. I would always be upset if it wasn't time to pick them yet, and I find it amazing what time can bring forth. I haven't seen my grandfather in a couple of years, so I am glad I took this picture at the right time.

Vision impairment linked to worse quality of life
By Lisa Rapaport
(Reuters Health) – While vision impairment can lead to lower quality of life on its own, the negative impact on daily activities may be even more pronounced for people who also suffer from other chronic health problems, a Korean study suggests.
Researchers examined survey data from more than 28,000 adults and found people with vision impairment were more likely to struggle with mobility, washing, dressing and completing daily tasks, and to experience more pain, discomfort and anxiety than individuals without eye problems.
Struggles with daily life intensified most for people with vision impairment who also suffered from a stroke, arthritis, hepatitis or depression.
"Health-related quality of life is severely decreased when individuals with visual impairment have other additional morbidities," said lead study author Dr. Sang Jun Park.
"What is worse, when vision-impaired individuals have stroke, arthritic conditions, hepatitis and depression, health-related quality of life may decrease much more severely than expected," Park, an ophthalmology researcher at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, added by email.
Globally, about 285 million people have visual impairment, including 39 million individuals who are blind and an additional 246 million who have low vision, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The main causes of moderate and severe vision impairment worldwide are uncorrected nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, according to the WHO. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in low-income and developing nations.
To explore the connection between vision impairment and quality of life, Park and colleagues analyzed data from the 2008 – 2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, which include results from eye assessments as well as questions about how well people managed daily activities……..

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Angul, Mar 8:
An attempt to chase a bike-borne couple and interrogate them on suspicion of carrying marijuana in Angul district of Odisha turned out to be a nightmare for two forest guards yesterday.
The forest guards were thrashed by locals for misbehaving the couple after the husband-wife duo were proved blameless as the sack they were carrying on the bike was found loaded with fodder.
According to reports, a couple, identified as Prashant Kumar Sahoo and Bishnupriya Sahoo of Saradhapur village under Purunakot police limits in the district, was heading towards their residence in Angul town last afternoon on a bike loaded with a sack of fodder.
However, two forest guards, identified as Alok Sahoo and Jogesh Satapathy, followed the couple on suspicion of carrying ganja and stopped the duo at Badakera Square.
They questioned and ill-treated the couple for around half an hour mistaking them as drug peddlers and forced to open the sack despite their frequent requests to let them go.
The incident soon turned centre of attraction for passersby with gathering of locals to witness what was going there.
The forest guards forcefully opened the consignment which was found to be fodder following which irate people along with the couple ordered the forest guards to refill the consignment.
However, they did not agree to do so, which ensued a scuffle and the couple with irate people thrashed them.
Later, they begged apology and left the spot refilling the sack before arrival of police.
The incident was captured on mobile phone by some witnesses, which has now gone viral on social media.

I dreamt that a date showed me a picture of a huge black spider with extra legs. He took me down to a beach to kick rocks over to find one but he wouldn't tell me if it was poisonous. Nevertheless, I kept kicking rocks.
I dreamt that a date showed me a picture of a huge black spider with extra legs. He took me down to a beach to kick rocks over to find one but he wouldn't tell me if it was poisonous. Nevertheless, I kept kicking rocks.
I dreamt that I was in a dangerous animal pen, like in Jurassic Park for the velociraptors. Four of us were holding the four corners of a large leather sling. A big writhing animal was being lowered from above pen and we were tasked with catching it and wrapping it in the leather. When partially enveloped in the sling, the animal writhed loose and someone yelled, "Run!" However, we had to keep hold of our own piece of the leather sling while trying to exit through the one of four revolving doors in each of our corners.
I dreamt stuffed animals ('stuffies') were mating and having lots and lots of tiny stuffs that started to pile up all over, filling up the whole earth with fuzzy animals. I was looking down on the earth from space and could see just a ball of stuffies growing and growing.
[This gave me a panicky nightmare feel.]
I was walking around a city looking at another city scape in the distance. Mushroom clouds started appearing on that skyline and were coming closer and closer to my location. I crouched down closing my eyes and suddenly I could feel grass under me and I could feel myself rolling and rolling. There was the feeling of a tornado storm surrounding me.
Then the grass I could feel beneath me change to the feel of rock and water. I couldn't get any oxygen and I had to open my eyes to breath. I saw lots of people down in the valley on the rocks. There was no storm. Many of them were on their cell phone trying to contact family back in the city to see if they were ok after the nuclear bombs, but there was no cell service.
I wandered down into the valley and came across my sister-in-law, mother-in law, father-in-law, and nieces-in-law.

STEVEN GERRARD is ready to return for Liverpool at Newcastle on Saturday – and hand Roy Hodgson a selection dilemma.
Gerrard is on target for a comeback at St James' Park after missing four matches with a hamstring injury sustained on England duty.
But the Reds boss must decide whether to disrupt the midfield partnership of Raul Meireles and Lucas which has flourished in the skipper's absence, to accommodate his returning captain, or leave out David Ngog who scored one and set up another in Monday night's crushing defeat of Aston Villa.
Gerrard is equally influential in whichever role he plays.
Lucas was many pundits' man of the match against Villa, while Meireles produced another assured performance – justifying his manager's faith in a man he spent £11m on.
"With Raul Meireles it was always just a question of time," said Hodgson.
"He came from a different league but I never doubted his quality as a player. I always knew we'd get something out of him because of his exceptional ability.
"I'm sure we'll get even more out of him now, with the more games he plays as he settles more and more into life in England."
Lucas, meanwhile, has welcomed the club's link with Brazil team-mate Ronaldinho.
Reports in Italy have credited Liverpool with a shock move for the AC Milan playmaker when the transfer window reopens in January.
Ronaldinho's future at Milan has been the subject of speculation for some time, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
Lucas is unaware of any Anfield interest in Ronaldinho but admits he would love to see the former World Player of the Year join him at Anfield.
"I am not aware of anything in terms of Ronaldinho signing but I would be very happy if this was to happen," he said.
"We started a friendship when we played in the Olympics and for Brazil.
"It would be nice to play with him at Liverpool.
"Everyone knows Ronaldinho and they know what he can do."

Anime cats are plentiful. In fact, anime is a hotbed of fabulous felines. But while some anime cats are cute-as-a-button little kitties, others are a bit more mischievous. Here's our pick of the naughtiest feline furballs to grace anime.
The Cat King from The Cat Returns
The Cat Returns is a modern anime classic. The 2002 film introduced the world to the Cat King, a troublesome fella who is actually evil incarnate. He might be royalty but he behaves reprehensibly. The fluffy, grey, moustachioed moggy kidnaps kindly schoolgirl Haru Yoshioka after she saves the life of his son, Lune, the Cat Prince. His plan? To marry her off to his son. The King brings Haru to the Cat Kingdom, where she is gradually transformed into a cat. However, when Prince Lune steps in to say that there is another he wants to marry, the King tries to marry Haru himself. That ain't cool, bro.
Kamineko, the cat from Azumanga Daioh
Kamineko literally means "Evil Cat." And he seems to bear main protagonist Sakaki ill will. When Sakaki tries to stroke the anime cat, he opens wide and latches onto her hand with his massive teeth. He even tries to gather a gang of cats together to attack her. Kamineko is a sly operator, laying on the charm and cuteness to lure you in for a pet – and then he bites! Eventually, Sakaki gets her own cat and apologizes to Kamineko for stroking him when he clearly doesn't like it. He proceeds to pretend he wants some attention and when Sakaki goes to pet him, he clamps his teeth onto her. We can't help loving him for it, though.
Arthur from Code Geass
Arthur might be generally friendly, but he's kind of cruel to Suzaku, one of the main characters in Code Geass. Even though Suzaku is fond of the cute little grey fluffball with adorable black eye patch, Arthur mischievously insists on biting him on the hand or leg whenever he gets the opportunity. In Arthur's defence, he hadn't had the best start in life — he was a stray before the student council decided to adopt him.
Kuroneko, the Photobombing Cat from Trigun
Kuroneko is a much-loved background character in Trigun. This anime girl-cat also features in the manga — but she appears in every episode of the anime series. Her appearances in the manga are more sporadic. This cheeky little wide-eyed black cat is included in the list for her mischievous nature. Kuroneko is there primarily for the audience, a fourth-wall-breaking, impish little photobomber, appearing out of nowhere and stealing a scene. Parading in the foreground and pausing to poke out her tongue cheekily is typical Kuroneko. She loves to punctuate the action with a hilariously timed meow, and even pops up at the occasional crucial moment to foil a plot, throw a spanner in the works or puncture the tension.
Beerus, the Cat God from Dragon Ball
This list isn't complete without the God of Destruction. And, of course, the God of Destruction is a cat. Named Beerus. But Beerus isn't all bad, despite his job title. His role is to maintain balance in the universe, and this is achieved by destroying planets when necessary. However, this has meant that he's responsible for the deaths of many billions of people — something that doesn't seem to bother him.
Beerus is wily — he will often threaten to destroy Earth by way of getting what he wants. He's not good in the morning, either, awakening after several years of slumber in a foul mood. He likes to assert his dominance and is quick to anger at the smallest things – whether it's getting beaten at Hide-and-Seek or being refused dessert.
Do you have a favorite anime cat that didn't make our naughty list? Tweet your nominee for naughtiest anime cat @getfandom.

Talk It Up!Submitted By: Sharon Guthrie, Katharine Nordin, Jennifer McEwen

Our Students: As speech, special education FALS and resource teachers, preschool teachers, and counselors we have the responsibility of reaching over 650 students each day, ranging in ages from preschool to fourth grade. As a Title 1 school (53%) many of our students come to us with numerous disadvantages that affect speech, vocabulary development, language skills, social skills, and ultimately reading. Many of our students have difficulty speaking with us and their peers due to a multitude of reasons. It might be that they have a speech issue, an emotional issue or cultural issue that prevents them from communicating in ways that they may not have been given the chance before.
Our Project: Our students are not always willing or able to communicate their thoughts or feelings with us, or may not feel comfortable speaking aloud in a group setting. Research has shown that socio-economically disadvantaged students start school with thousands fewer words in their lexicon than their middle and upper class counterparts. We are constantly searching for ways to level the playing field. Many of our students are familiar with "talk-back apps", such as "Talking Tom" and friends, which has encouraged a plethora of students to increase their communicative attempts in small group settings and individually. However, others benefit from having tangible, hug-gable objects as opposed to two-dimensional cartoon figures on a screen. We would love to provide our students the opportunity to use a variety of soft "talk-back" toys on a daily basis or as needed. Four our non-verbal or reluctant speakers, these kinds of toys offer a great deal of motivation to participate or attempt to speak. Hearing their utterances repeated back in a sill voice is often extremely engaging. For our emotionally charged students, the counselor may find that offering a "furry friend" to talk to, as opposed to a person, might seem less threatening. For our Pre-K non-readers and Limited English Proficient students, this could be used as a tool to have students practice their newly found skills
Our Students Need: We would love to obtain several plush talk-back toys (and batteries) in order to encourage our students to make communication attempts in a non-threatening and engaging manner.

School psychologists aren't supposed to write books about sex. Doing so would be considered "unethical" and "a fireable offense." Lucky for you, ethics was never my strong suit.
After spending years trying to spice up my sex life, I gave up and took to my journal. Perhaps my gorgeous, cold, number crunching husband simply wasn't capable of the kind of passion I'd come to expect. After all, my ex-boyfriends—a skinhead turned US Marine turned motorcycle club outlaw, a baby-faced punk rocker out on parole, and a heavy-metal bass player—were every bit as tattooed and testosterone-fueled as the leading men in my favorite romance novels. If I couldn't have that kind of passion again in real life, I could at least write about it. Right? Nobody had to know. It would be my little secret.
Well, guess what? My husband read that shit.
And guess what else? He upped his fucking game.
Drunk with power and under the dubious advisement of my best friend and colleague, I began testing the limits—crafting journal entries specifically designed to manipulate Ken's behavior. For the most part, he responded beautifully…except when he didn't.
My Review:
Loved!! Sexy and refreshingly funny. I heard so much about this book and picked it up when I was craving something different and light. Sort of a book within a book, 44 Chapters is in the form of a journal written by a wife and mother who is experiencing something of a lull in her marriage. She was a tattooed wild child who ended up married to an accountant! How did that happen?!
"It's a beautiful life Ken has given me, one filled with security and laughter and intelligent conversation and honeymoons in Paris and well-behaved children with long attention spans and cute noses and his-and-hers sinks and 401(k)s and well-manicured lawns. I just wish the orgasms matched the drapes, if you know what I mean."
BB adores her husband Ken but things have gotten a little …. quiet. BB discovers that Ken may have secretly read parts of her journal, and when he does, things get MUCH spicier and hotter between them. Thrilled with Ken's newfound interest in sex, BB decides to embellish the stories of her past boyfriends. The writing is absolutely charming and hilarious, written as if BB was talking to a best friend. I was really hoping for Ken to wake up and take an interest in his marriage because it was obvious they had amazing chemistry together.
What he does have is a Captain America–style square jaw with a subtle cleft and a permanent five o'clock shadow. He also has enviously high cheekbones. His aqua-blue eyes are hooded by long espresso-colored lashes, and his sandy-brown hair is just long enough on top to allow for a good grip. His physique is lean yet muscular. His sense of humor is dry. He is brilliant and self-deprecating, and he has the ability to skip rocks across any body of water (a secret turn-on of mine).
This book is best enjoyed with glass or two of wine. I can't believe this is BB Easton's debut book! Each of her past boyfriends was charming, dangerous, sweet and sexy in their own way. I loved the descriptions of teenage first love and the '80s references were priceless. BB Easton is nothing if not brutally honest. Her descriptions of married life and babies are spot-on. Everyone can relate to this story! BB spends much of the book hoping that her straight-laced husband will get her name visibly tattooed somewhere on his body. And she just wants him to be a little more aggressive. She doesn't think she is asking for too much!
I want to take him with me everywhere. I want us to live a hundred years and die at the same time. I want them to mix our cremated remains together, dump us into a river, and watch our mingled ashes swirl like coffee creamer all the way to the ocean. I want our souls (okay, my soul and his, whatever he has, operating system?) to find each other on the other side as soon as possible just so that we can fall in love and make more babies and do it all over again. I just also want him to f*ck my brains out.
This is a very funny book, written with great sensitivity and a sharp eye for detail. BB Easton has already written the next book in this series which is about her boyfriend Knight. What a character!! I can't wait to read his story, 'Skin.' I was pleasantly surprised by this wild and crazy story! After reading this, I feel like BB Easton is an old friend. I love her writing style! Pick up this book if you're in the mood for a funny, very raunchy story.
"Knight was a skinhead. Correction, Knight was THE skinhead."
-BB Easton, 44 Chapters About 4 Men
Based on (mostly) true events, SKIN is the story of Knight and BB. It is the story of how a good girl, from a good home, with good intentions and even better grades, managed to get herself mixed up in every bad thing imaginable. It is about love and loss and learning that in this life, looks can be deceiving.
*To fully enjoy this book it is recommended that readers first experience 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN; however, SKIN can be read as a stand-alone.
**SKIN is not intended for everyone. It contains themes that might upset or offend sensitive audiences. Please consult the introduction for a list of triggers.
***Now I'm just adding asterisks to be an asshole.

Alzheimer's Reading Room
Therapists perceive and use seatbelts as safety belts. Belts secure physically challenged children and adults in wheelchairs so they can be transported safely or mobilize themselves without the risk of falling out and/or over.
Imagine a quadriplegic, someone compromised to the extent that Christopher Reeves was, without the support of belts to remain semi-upright in a chair. Tragically he would have slumped out and onto the floor, as would hundreds of thousands of other individuals dependent on physical assistance for safety.
What is the Difference Between Alzheimer's and Dementia
From the Non-Fiction Book Amanda, Perfectly Made, by Laurel Rausch Greshel
Subscribe to the Alzheimer's Reading Room
Amanda was getting along great using her new wheelchair in the pet shop until she leaned forward to take a closer look at some fish. She had stopped in front of an aquarium and … as she leaned toward (it), she fell forward and straight out of her chair and onto the ground! The people in the wheelchair place let us leave with our three-year-old in her first wheelchair without a seatbelt! On the way down, Amanda's head smacked some sharp-edged molding… pg 83
Transfer belts cinched around a patient's waist are used for gait training; in fact my dad needed one when walking outside after his stroke. Safety straps are used to secure babies in their car seats and high chairs. Laws require vehicles be equipped with seat belts and shoulder harnesses again for occupant safety.
Regardless of the terminology, regardless of what we call them, safety straps, lap belts, transfer belts, seat belts, shoulder harnesses, etc. are employed appropriately and out of necessity for everyone's safety.
How to Test Your Memory for Alzheimer's and Dementia (5 Best Tests)
Seatbelts as Restraints
By striking contrast however "seatbelts," those same innocuous strips of webbing referred to so affectionately as safety belts, are perceived as unacceptable restraints in some populations, mostly non-ambulatory adults with disorienting dementia!
As my mom steadily progressed into Alzheimer's dark haze, her physical movements were less predictable and meaningful. Her arms flailed at times. She fidgeted with her shirt cuffs, shoelaces and blanket bindings. Although her upper body strength remained fairly stable, her legs did not. They were wobbly, weak and unable to support even her petite frame.
But like Houdini, Mom could maneuver out of bed using her arms to pull herself up and over the bedside railing, only to crash to the floor on withering legs. Only God knew where she was going, what she was "thinking" or what warped, distorted vision drove my mom to hurl herself out of bed.
Legally the assisted living facility was required to send Mom to the Emergency Room for "un-witnessed falls." So off she went, three times in fact just in the month of January 2011; alone and confused. Staff tried a bed pressure pad that sounded an alarm if the occupant exited the bed; it worked but usually she had already slid to the floor and back to the ER.
How to Take Care of a Dementia Patient in the Hospital
Next staff tried a pommel insert in her wheelchair (an upward projection between the knees) to help keep mom in the chair. She couldn't fall out of the chair, but she certainly could push herself up and over the armrests and, you guessed it, onto the floor or into a plant or wall, resulting in more ER visits; three in late February.
I knew that a "No we can't do that" response would be the answer to my question "If I sign a release that my mom can have a seatbelt to secure her safely in her wheelchair, couldn't you use it? It has to be a better alternative than multiple emergency room visits and EMS runs!" But of course policy defines that belts are restraints!
I recognize that people have been mistreated by being shackled to bed railings, inappropriately confined or removed to a corner or closet. Straps certainly have and can be misused as restraints. Anyone fragile enough to need adult care—the very young and the very challenged—deserve patience, respect and quality treatment.
Problems with Balance, Walking, Falling Can Be an Early Sign of Dementia
That said, I'm not sure that I can agree with the policy that a seatbelt, which is used in a wheelchair to safety secure one non-ambulatory occupant can also conversely be perceived as a restraint for a different non-ambulatory occupant. Just because one individual has a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, for example, and the other Alzheimer's, does not change the fact that neither person can support their own body weight without falling.
I, for one, would have much rather seen my mom safely belted in a wheelchair than to constantly worry that at any moment, regardless of how close by the staff were, she could flip herself out or pull herself up on the armrests only to crash on wobbly legs.
Seatbelt safety trumps an emergency room visit any day!
But I don't have to worry about the contentious seatbelt safety vs. restraint debate for my mom any more. She passed away July 8, 2011.

second of 5 feburary shoots, with Lonnie Webb. When I spoke to him on the phone he gave me the impression of being a long haired, laid back surfer dude in his 30s. then I met him and I was way off! It's so interesting to meet photographers in person because they know what I look like but it's always a surprise on my end. Lonnie was such a fun guy to shoot with. his personal style was perfectly put together that only he could pull off. coifed hair, casio watch, long gold key necklace and sweet warby parker style glasses. anyone else would have easily come off as a douche bag on first impression, but he was so charming and genuine and didn't even swear! it was cute. what a cool guy! he's so talented in photography, I hope to shoot with him again soon before everyone catches on to his talent and he gets too busy!!
Make up by Ja
Styled by Voss
in the first 2 weeks of feb I had 5 test shoots I coordinated with various photographers. it was pretty exciting. one of the shoots I did involved projecting images onto a wall/me, which was lots of fun. This one I did with Erik Simkins, who has some great street photography and behind the scenes stuff on his site. We worked only with film, and I really like how the grain and roughness of these photos give it another dimension of sort.
There was a kitten there named Edda, who looked like a tiny mainecoon cat. well, I assumed it was a cat but it was shaved in a way that it could have been an alien species that could mimic simliar attributes of an earth cat. it had giant green eyes that penetrated my soul to it's core. I was a little obsessed with it because it played hard to get (see: skiddish) unless I had a tiny treat for it, and then it commenced crackhead attack mode.
the apartment in which we took pictures in was not the photographer's, but a friend of his. it was decorated in a way that when he said he was a graphic designer, I understood immediately. it was very well styled. I hope they are a successful graphic designer, but if not they could always rely on contemporary hip interior decorating as a fall back.
I have many more shoots to post and a few more to come in March. I can't wait!
I used to hate tea. Don't know why I had such a strong opinion over it either way, I don't remember even trying any when I was younger. This was also a time in my life where I would eat a lot of grossly saturated foods of sorts and thus, tea was a bland stale taste in comparison. tastes change, people change, tea stays the same. and it's actually quite amazing. I'm admittedly quite obsessed with it now, having invested in many pricey devices to ensure I can quickly–without loss in quality–enjoy tea every day. I take everyone who peaks interest to a chinese tea shop downtown where we sit for hours and try every tea they have. loose leaf tea is my preferred tea snobbery of choice. I like that the tea has health benefits of different types, it's fun to feel healthy and put good things in your body!
I just wonder if I had enjoyed tea 6 years ago as much as I do now, if there was a definite sliding door of a parallel path in my life that I missed. dramatic, I know. obviously things now would not be affected from one night several years past, but maybe there could have been more clarity from accepting a certain tea offer that I flippantly refused so long ago.
I remember the moment so vividly, when the tea was offered. I was getting ready to leave his apartment after a well needed talk was convoluted and not going so smoothly. the words exchanged other than "stay, I'll make us some tea" and me refusing with "tea has too watered down of a flavor", I don't recall much else. He was leaning on the back of his couch and playfully put his hands in my jacket pockets as he made such an offer. it was adorable and I probably panicked. feeling overwhelmed that he was so close and casually being somewhat intimate for the first time, I pulled away not wanting him to see my cheeks light up with a red hue. I did feel that way about tea, though.
had I stayed for a talk over tea, would I have gotten that ease of mind I needed at the time?
perhaps depending on the tea. some tea has good un-clouding effects on the mind.
thinking about it now, he also offered numerous opportunities to talk over other such beverages but I blew it every time. so I guess the struggle was all my own over those immature tea-disliking years.
when tea is offered to you, drink!
2012 is going to be big, I feel it in my bones. I wouldn't describe myself as superstitious, although by definition maybe I am. I don't mind thinking "because I do one thing a certain way, it will affect something completely uncontrollable or unrelated", because I like to make believe. I believe what you do on New Years will affect what's to come next. I like to spend it with people that I hope to see a lot of and I wear an outfit that might sway the theme of the new year. you got to set it off right! not every year is going to be spectacular, some have more downs than ups or things don't go the way you planned. but I know 2012 is going to be challenging and life changing more than any other year. If 2011 was a comfortable warm sloth, 2012 is going to be a raging running lion.
(listen to some lightrain ambiance.)
I miss the rain. it rained all summer, I was thrilled. now everyone has been saying it'll be an "Indian Summer", it has been 80 degrees all weekend. I am allergic to the sun real bad, and that's not just the new realized goth in me pretending to be dramatic. I burn, I get heat rash, sunstroke, dehydration, dizziness… instantaneously! I swear! I am a delicate flower. well, maybe more like a moss or fern-type plant. something that steers clear of sunlight. I love Seattle because it is overcast and misty. I also love that no one is outside when it rains. the sound and the smell make me nostalgic for life. my heart hurts when it rains because I love it so much and I don't know how else to proclaim my love for it.
I think about Japan a lot. before, when I longed to live there, I imagined myself there in Tokyo. I would imagine looking out the window, out of my apartment and it would be raining. my heart would skip a beat at the thought as if I just made eye contact with a junior high school crush. Thinking of smelling and listening to and watching rain fall is the equivalent to wanting to obtain a crush's returned feelings. I never know when the rain will come next or for how long, but I wish it would stick around and let me be with it forever.
I made this flickr gallery of beautiful atmospheres involving a rainy day.
rain reign, a gallery on Flickr.
but without the cold, hard, wet, dirt ground. I just thought I should let you guys (the 3 of you who read this (hi mom)) know that my bedroom is awesome. When we came back to the states, we rushed to find a place to live. I was severely depressed from the tragedy in Japan and dearly missed our 194 square foot tatami mat apartment. I figured I had to make the best of our situation being back in Seattle and decided I needed a really amazing apartment.
I had always been obsessed with theme hotels (even before Osaka Love Hotels) and knew about the Hotel Fox in Denmark with it's many different rooms all created by different artists (SO COOL). I saw this room and thought "I could do that". I already had a collection of forest wall murals. Thus began my creative endeavor to make Devin build us a forest room. Devin only agreed if he could have a side flap to get in and out of the tent because being 6'7″ and just turning 30 he is "too old for this shit". 'this shit' being: crawling in and out of beds. I will forever sleep in some sort of fort that requires crawling and rolling around until the day of my demise. fact.
Awhile ago I tried to post a picture of my room but no one believed it was mine! I can understand that. who do you know that sleeps in a tent bed in real life? Probably no one, this is totally an internet find sort of bedroom if I say so myself. but someone has to make it (and sleep in it)! Feel free to be inspired to make your own tent/gypsy/cave/bed dwelling! IT IS SO FUN EVERY NIGHT.
Yesterday I got the bad news. My beloved Fuji Natura Classica camera cannot be fixed. not easily, not cheap, not in the US, not without a part that can'tbe obtained. the $350 camera (sometimes more, but never less) is unfixable. It fell, it hit a floor. the lens wouldn't come out without screaming in pain and the shutter wouldn't let go. I had a 1600 B&W Neopan in the camera still with 14 shots left. I was able to save the film, but what a waste. they don't even make that kind anymore? I want another Fuji Natura ASAP, but I haven't had extra funds for over 7 months and still no job. I'm maxed out, bottom of the barrel. it's bad. all I want is my camera. the best film camera I've ever had, and the most expensive, straight from Japan. sigh.
My flickr Fuji Natura set.
I love you, Classica!
I miss you!
I miss the every day engrish in japan and making it my blog titles. I mean, I miss a hell of a lot of things from japan. when I was in japan, I could only come up with 3 things I missed from america (in order): friends, bbq chips and string cheese. I missed my parents too, only because they love me more the farther away I am.
Devin and I have been settling into seattle again. it's barely been a month since we have returned. living in japan now feels like a dream. we moved to Queen Anne, in an apartment building that was built during seattle's 1962 world fair! it's so cute (I want to say かわいい)! It has windows I have been searching for since 2008. windows to take a self-portrait through with drawings on the glass.
I entered it into the Phoot Camp application. 30 people are chosen, fly down to a reserved awesome area and shoot photos all weekend. I can't think of anything more amazing then meeting talented people, spending days just shooting and creating awesome things. the gathering and cooperation of random strangers to make something amazing together always brings a tear of joy to my eye. sometimes they pull that shit in commercials and it gets me. damn you, marketing. (I love you movies).
still adjusting to being back, but feeling better with all my friends around. I am quick to adapt so I'm ready to take on things with determination to make japan a reality once again. I signed up for japanese classes, because when I go back I wanna hit on some dudes in the arcade (don't tell devin). YOSHA~!!
Growing up in the Seattle area, I have had only 2 earthquake experiences. both went something along the lines of
"whats happening?"
"is this an earthquake?"
"it is confirmed an earthquake-what is the best thing to do?"
…earthquake over before your thought process can finish. 20 seconds, tops. the 8.9 (9.0?) earthquake that hit japan was nothing simple to describe, but I'll do my best to tell you how that day personally unfolded.
"It's Gob(nils)lin spelled backwards!" Nils and I had a shoot today in his apartment for his album. It was fun, as taking photos with friends tends to be.
I've been debating with myself wether to keep up a blog or not. it would obviously just be for my own amusement since I know a total of 1 (maybe even 2) people read this. I apologize for abandoning it, especially after working so hard to customize a wordpress, damn that shit was tough.
I haven't been documenting my life at all these past few years as much as I used to. this is the time to do it, if ever, as many a great things have been happening! 2010 was a slow start, but I had lots of faith in it. once I turned 25 I figured out the formula: even numbered years and odd numbered ages are the best combos of my life. It's all math, really.
I keep procrastinating, blaming non-blogging on film development. I tell myself I'll back-log entries, but honestly… c'mon. as a mature 25 year old woman, I am learning quickly to stop lying to myself. I've been with myself for 25 whole years, who knows me better than me? me. the answer is me.
I have 4 big goals to reach in 4 months. I feel like I'm making pretty good time so far. although it's been approx 1 day since I wrote them down on paper.

If the primary way of being ready for Jesus is to be known by Him, what does that mean for all the commands to work for the Kingdom, to do good things for God?
All of these flow from relationship. They are not hurdles to jump through before God will love us. They are an overflow of being loved, a natural response to knowing who God really is. This is what we see in the second story from Matthew 25 – the story of the talents.
Again, in order to teach his disciples how to be ready for His return, Jesus told them a story about a master and three servants. The master went away, but before he did he gave one servant 5 talents, another 2 talents, and another 1 talent. A talent was a large sum of money and the master asked them to look after this for Him until He returned.
Now, the first two servants both invested their money and put it to use, and doubled it. The servant with only one talent hid his in the ground. When the master returned he called his servants to account. The first two he was incredibly pleased with. He said to them 'Well done good and faithful servant!' and he gave them 10 cities and 4 cities to look after in return. The last servant told him that he hid the money and did nothing with it because he knew that his master was a harsh man who 'reaped where he did not sow'. The master was angry and threw this servant out giving his talent to the servant who had 10.
What is this all about?
At first glance it can seem that the master really is harsh. He didn't give equal amounts to the servants and he gave them different rewards, not to mention throwing the one who had the least out!
Yet a closer look, and understanding the parable of the bridesmaids before, tells us the real issue. The excuse of the final servant points us to the critical issue the master was looking for. The value of the servants' actions wasn't in how much money they made, but on whether they reflected a right understanding of who He was. Did His servants know Him?
The servant who hid everything did so because he saw his master as harsh, unjust, not to be trusted. His one desire was to not upset him. He took no risks thinking that any mistake would earn punishment, as if that is all the master was interested in.
Truth be told we can often view God like that. He is the headmaster and waiting for the second coming is like sitting outside his office not knowing when we'll be called in. If only we can keep our noses clean and our socks pulled up then we'll be alright. If I can think good thoughts and be a nice person without messing up too much, then I'll be fine. We completely miss His true character and in doing so we miss who we were really made to be.
Yet the truth is so much better. Those other servants understood who their master was. He was a Giver of good gifts, generous, willing to trust, and possessing abundant resources. If he could spare that kind of money for them to deal with as they pleased, how much more must he have had?
For them to take such great risks of investing everything the master had given them, holding nothing back, they must have known something about his character. They must have had confidence that, no matter what mistakes they made or how much they lost, He would still love them, trust them, and be able to provide for them. Knowing this, they gave everything they had.
Our God is not a harsh master looking for a reason to punish us. He is a bridegroom who loves us and is coming to marry us, to bring us into a feast, to bring us into unbroken relationship with Him. He calls us 'good and faithful'. That is all He longs for from us: that we would recognise His goodness, abundance and love enough to entrust all of ourselves to Him. Like those talents, everything we have, our very lives, are gifts from Him. He has more than enough, His heart is to reward our simple faithfulness extravagantly (a city for every talent!), all He wants to see is: do we know Him? If we do, then we'll live like it.
Our life right now is often one of chronos. We're called to work and to wait. We get glimpses of encounters with God and seeing Him move. Every time we do it reminds us of who He is, of His character, His goodness, His love. It prepares us, excites us, reminds us to be ready for when He finally comes again. We get ready by keeping our lamps filled with oil. Even our chronos – our work time – is spent in relationship with Him through the Spirit – our work is to keep connected to Him – to be with Him every moment. When we know Him we see the gifts He's given us and we'll throw our whole selves into living for Him. In that place we'll live the lives He's made us for – lives of working and waiting yes, but also lives of abundance, of expectation, of seeing Him move, of knowing Him.
Take heart my friends. We're not called to achieve for God but to be faithful to Him; not to earn His love, but to receive it and live from that place of relationship.
The ultimate kairos moment is coming: our lover is coming back – our we ready? Do we know Him?
