CREATED TO KILL band from Kentucky Death Metal / KYDM – USA. Honestly I know this band long time ago when I heard their split with Decomposed band from Indonesia. That's great split. So that's why I am so curious with this band and want to know more about them. And this time, Steve Forbes gave me chance to do an interview and talking about Created To Kill. Well I don't want talking too much here lol, so lets check Busuk webzine interview with Created To Kill …..hell yeahhh \m/
Hi Steve, how are you ? John Yoedi here. I hope you are well there. Thank you for taking some time and agreeing to this interview with Busuk Webzine. Kieran James (Australia) and I share this blog. So, how are things going for 'Created To Kill' camp at the moment ?
SF: Real busy writing new material.
JY : To start off with, tell me who's in the band, what they do and anything they did before joining to CREATED TO KILL ?
SF: Abe Simmerman is our Vocalist/Bass player and Paul Good (guitarist from Solidification) is on drums.
JY : Would you like to tell me about your last album 'Worship or Die'. How has it been received by fans/media so far ? Any bad response ?
SF: It has had mixed reviews most bad responses have been for the production not the content.
JY : The production and sound of the last album was fantastic. How did you get such a great sound ? And who are some of the largest influences on CREATED TO KILL ?
SF: We were not happy with the sound of it ourselves it was recorded in a guy's basement not a real studio. The drum machine was all one track so you couldn't adjust the levels properly. Some of our influences include Megadeth, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Broken Hope, most of the mid-90's era metal/death metal.
JY : How would you yourself describe CREATED TO KILL in one sentence?
SF: CTK is fast and brutal.
JY : You´re signed to Ruptured Records/Riotous Records. How did you hook up with Dave Hyde of Riotous Records ? And what kind of label would you consider signing/deal with ?
SF: We came across Dave through another local band. We had done previous releases with Ruptured Records, but they needed help financially releasing Worship Or Die so we signed on with Riotous to fund half the record. We are looking to sign on with a more established label now.
JY : Let's talk a bit about your song writing process. How does a song usually develop - do you first start with a lyric, melody, chord progression, or something else? Do you begin writing a song in your head before you pick up an instrument?
SF: I do a combination of all those things, some come to me one way some another.
I have to kind of let the song write it's self, just however it comes to me.
JY : I'm interested in your musical roots - which musicians and songwriters have been the greatest influence?
SF: Dave Mustaine, Kerry King, Eric Rutan, and Jack Owen have been my biggest influences.
JY : When did you decide to start a music career ? Which bands inspired you back in the day to start playing death metal ?
SF: I wanted to be in a band ever since I first started listening to music. I would say early Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Morbid Angel, and Deicide.
JY : As I know you are as founder of CREATED TO KILL with your friend Greg Brewer (Guitarist). But not for long time Greg Brewer left the band. Whats happened ?
SF: We had been trying for over 10 years to get something going. We had a real hard time finding members and he just wasn't feeling it anymore.
JY : In 2008, Paul Good joined to the band as Drums. Would you like to tell us, What made him so interested came to Created To Kill?
SF: We had been friends with Paul for years and had played several shows with Solidification. He knew we had been looking for a drummer for a while and he started learning drums and I asked him to come down to jam and we just hit it off.
JY : What's the Kentucky Death Metal scene like ? Are there any less well knows Kentucky bands that you would recommend ?
SF: The scene here isn't the greatest most people won't come out to a locals only show. Aeons Of Eclipse is a great local band that aren't real well known.
JY : Your has started 'CREATED TO KILL' been around for 9 years….thats amazing…man. How's the ride been so far ? And how confident are you feeling that this line up is the right one ?
SF: Yeah it definitely been years in the making. It's great what we have accomplished so far. The line-up we have now is strongest we have ever had.
JY : What makes a brutal death metal band sound unique and what makes CREATED TO KILL stand out of the crowd ? What is the musical and philosophical background of the members of CREATED TO KILL ?
SF: Many brutal death metal bands sound pretty similar we try to add different elements of just metal to try and create a unique sound. All our backgrounds pretty much are the same, we all grew up in the Mid 90's when the Florida death-metal scene was exploding and there weren't a million different death metal bands out there to listen to just those main ones coming out of Florida.
JY : What kits/equipments do you use to record and do you use the same amp/guitars etc for live shows ?
SF: I am using a BC Rich V and a Fender head with Randall cabs for live shows at the moment. I plan to use this set-up to record our next cd.
JY : I seen some member from metal bands had have Records/Labels such as : Unique Leader Record by Eric Lindmark (Guitaris of Deeds Of Flesh) , Comatose Music by Steve Green (Guitarist of Lust Of Decay), New Standard Elite by Daniels Osborn ( Drums of Inherit Disease) and If I am not wrong….you are owner from 'Blood Letter Records', is it right ? When do you started with it ? And is it your real job or just small business ?
SF: Yes I am the owner of Bloodletter Records, I started it in 2004 under the name Azeroth Records and I released seven albums before selling the name to Blizzard Entertainment. I then changed the name to Bloodletter. I have to work a real job, the label is just a side project.
JY : What do you think about using the internet as a tool for promoting yourself and your music? And what are your thoughts on piracy. Do download hurt the band or just the corporations ? Do you see it as a positive or a negative?
SF: I think it's great, I don't think we would have been able to get us out there or book tours without it. As far as piracy I think it really depends on what level you are on and what type of music you play. Most metal heads want an actual cd, but they do like to be able to listen to it ahead of time.
JY : Will you going to complain them if you see your debut album available on their site or blogs as free download albums ? Maybe if someone to post a few songs (2-3) up to help promote, it that would be cool or check their song by their site such as myspace,facebook or reverbnation. So what do you think about this ?
SF: The way I look at it is it gets us out there to more people and if they like what they hear hopefully they'll buy the cd or at least a t-shirt or something.
JY : And if you were not a musician, what do you think you would have done as a day-to-day job ?
SF: I do have a day job, it's in the shipping logistics field.
JY : What would you do, if you were sitting at the bar, Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie would come in, sit down next to you and order big glass of milk ?
SF: Say hello.
JY : If you ever had the chance to play with live a big, famous metal, which one bands would you like to choose ? Slayer,Exodus,Hammerfall,Testament,Metallica or ?
SF: Slayer or Megadeth would be awesome.
JY : What do you think about Busuk webzine ?
SF: It's an awesome site, got some killer interviews.
JY : Do you look and enjoy shows in many place in USA ? Many bands seem to lose money on touring/shows and can barely pay for their food when touring. Do you have it the same way or no ? Have you ever been playing or touring outside USA ?
SF: We have toured about half the USA and yes we do lose money or break even on touring. We love doing it though so we keep on. No we haven't played outside of the states yet, but we are looking into doing so as soon as we can.
JY : What are your plans for the near future ? such as shows/touring or. Have you already finished writing new material for upcoming release ? And will you keep going to Riotous Records ?
SF: We are about 75% done writing material for our 2nd full length. We are also playing some fests and shows at the same time within the USA, no full blown touring until it's recorded though. We will move on to a more established label. We are also in the process of editing a DVD to be released this year on touring footage from 2009-2011.
JY : Thanks again Steve for taking the time to interview. Best of luck with CREATED TO KILL. Anything you'd like to add?
SF: Thanks for the interview and please check our website www.createdtokill.com for details about are upcoming CD and DVD.

These pickles are just like Grandma used to make and definitely better than store- bought. For the best size and crunch, look for small pickling field cucumbers, often found at farmer's markets or stands or in produce stores.
- Portion size 3 servings
- Credits : Canadian Living Magazine: September 2006
MethodIn large stainless-steel or glass bowl, toss together cucumbers, onions, red pepper, salt and 16 of the ice cubes. Sprinkle remaining ice cubes over top; let stand for 3 hours. Drain well; rinse and drain well again. Set aside.
In large heavy shallow saucepan, bring sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric and cloves to boil; add vegetables and return to boil.
Pack with liquid into six 2-cup (500 mL) canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) headspace. Remove any air bubbles, readjusting headspace if necessary. (See "Canning Basics" ) If necessary, wipe rims. Cover with prepared lids. Screw on bands until resistance is met; increase to fingertip tight. Boil in boiling water canner for 10 minutes. Makes 12 cups (3 L).

"Nancy Grace" presents a special on cold cases on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. The special will air again on Friday.
(CNN) -- A surveillance video shows 17-year-old Kara Kopetsky walking out of her high school on May 4, 2007, before classes let out.
She was having a bad day. She'd forgotten one of her textbooks, and that morning she called home and asked her mother to drop it off at the school office. She also asked her mother to wash her uniform so she could work the 4 p.m. shift at Popeye's Chicken.
A bad day got worse when Kara had an argument with one of her teachers in class, according to police and her family. Frustrated, she left campus about 10:30 a.m., ditching school for the rest of the day.
When Kara didn't come home from school as usual, her family -- mother Rhonda, stepfather Jim and stepbrother Thomas -- grew worried. They filed a missing persons report later that afternoon. Police told them they believed Kara was a runaway, and that she'd come back on her own in a few days.
More than three years later, no one can say what happened to the high school junior from Belton, Missouri.
The case remains cold, but her parents are now going public with new details about what was going on in Kara's life before she disappeared.
They say she was being stalked by a former boyfriend and had obtained a restraining order against him two weeks earlier. Police confirm that there was a pending domestic violence case and protective order naming the boyfriend, when Kara vanished. The charged were later dropped.
Investigators say the ex-boyfriend is a person of interest in the case, because he may have information as to her whereabouts and the relationship between the two was tumultuous before she vanished.
The boyfriend, whom we're not naming because he's not been charged, did not return CNN's calls seeking comment. A person who answered the phone at his lawyer's office said there would be no comment.
According to family and police and Kara's MySpace profile, the boyfriend lived in her neighborhood, was 18, and attended the same high school but dropped out earlier the spring Kara disappeared. She described their relationship as on and off.
Police say there has been no activity on Kara's cell phone since shortly after she walked out of school. They followed some pings from the phone, conducted some searches, but found nothing significant. Beyond that, they aren't commenting.
Her stepfather says the cell phone's long silence makes him suspicious.
"This doesn't make any sense," said Jim Beckford. "Kara was on her cell phone sending texts constantly. Her cell phone bill was typically 80-100 pages long."
She left behind most of her belongings -- money, clothes, iPod and a new carton of cigarettes. Her bank debit card was left in her school locker and her bank account, with $150 from her recent paycheck, remains untouched.
Initially, the Beckfords said, police told them to keep quiet about the alleged stalking case. But, because three years have gone by without any solid leads, they are speaking about a startling incident they say one week before Kara vanished.
Kara's parents say the ex-boyfriend showed up at Popeye's on April 28, 2007 and was kicked out of the restaurant by a supervisor. But he came back as Kara got off work at 10:30 p.m., parking his truck around the corner and waiting, according to the Beckfords and court documents.
When Kara left work, they say, he grabbed her and dragged her into his truck. A friend called Kara's cell phone and she answered, saying her former boyfriend had abducted her. Soon afterwards, he pulled off the interstate into a parking lot and Kara jumped out of the moving vehicle to safety. He drove off, leaving her behind.
Kara went to the police station the next day and filed charges and her mother filed for a protective order. In the petition, Kara states why: "Because I am unsure of what he will do next, because the abuse has gotten worse over time."
"We were asked by police to not talk about this" Rhonda Beckford said. "We were also asked by the Belton police to drop the abduction charges against Kara's boyfriend, just a few weeks after she vanished, as a strategy. In case her boyfriend did know where Kara was, he might be more willing to cooperate and help in the investigation if he weren't facing criminal charges."
According to police in Belton, the case is being actively investigated. But with no certain evidence of foul play, police continue to characterize Kara's disappearance as an endangered and missing adult case.
The state of Missouri considers Kara Kopetsky to be an adult because she was 17 when she disappeared.
Belton Police Capt. Don Spears said police are looking at several persons of interest, but haven't narrowed their investigation to focus on a single suspect. And, he said, police still cannot rule out the possibility that Kara simply ran away.
Her family says Kara has no history of running away.
"She is a very beautiful girl and so we often warned her to be careful, but like any teen, she had an attitude that she was invincible," her stepfather said.
An $85,000 reward is offered for tips leading to the whereabouts of Kara Kopetsky or the arrest of anyone responsible for her disappearance.
Police and family urge people to call the Belton Police Department's tip-line at 816-474-TIPS. Kara is described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall and 125 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes.

7. Dalton's atomic theory
To provide theoretical justification to the laws of chemical combination which are experimentally verified, John Dalton postulated a simple theory of matter. The basic postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:
a. Matter is made up of extremely small indivisible and indestructible ultimate particles called atoms.
b. Atoms the same element are identical in all respects ie., in shape, size, mass and chemical properties.
c. Atoms of different elements are different in all respects and have different masses and chemical properties.
d. Atom is the smallest unit that takes part in chemical combinations.
d. Atoms of two or more elements combine in a simpler whole number ratio to form compound atoms (molecules).
e. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed during any physical or chemical change.
f. Chemical reactions involve only combinations, separation or rearrangement of atoms.
Modern atomic theory
As a result of new discoveries made after Dalton developed his postulates, some modifications were done to atomic theory. They are:
1. Atom is no longer considered to be indivisible: It is found that atom is made up of subatomic particles such as electrons, protons and neutrons. We now state how many electrons are there, protons are there in an atom.
2. Atoms of same element may not be similar in all respects. Atoms of same elements have different atomic masses. These different atoms are called isotopes.
3. Atoms of different elements may have similar one or more properties. Atomic mass of calcium and argon (40 a.m.u.) are same. So the property of atomic mass is same for atoms of different elements. Isobars or elements or atoms having the same atomic mass.
4. Atom is the smallest unit which takes part in chemical reactions. Though electrons and protons are there, it is atom which takes part in chemical reactions and electrons exchange takes place between atoms.
5. The ratio in which the different atoms combine may be fixed and integral but may not always be simple. For example in sugar molecule the ratio of C,H and O atoms is 12:22:11, which is not simple.
6. Atom of one elements may be changed into atoms of other element. Transmutation is the process by which atoms one element can be changed inot elements of other elements by subjecting it to alpha rays.
7. The mass of atom can changed into energy. Mass and energy are inconvertible. The equation give for such conversion is E mc². Hence we cannot say that mass is not destructible. But in chemical reactions, atom remains unchanged and its mass is not destroyed to liberate energy.

Right now, I'm remembering the time when I could have kissed this guy who toured me around his island when he was making advances, but I decided to give him a kiss on his forehead instead. Haha!
I'm curious what it feels like, and I really want to kiss him at that time, but I know I'll regret it also so I decided not to proceed with what I want. Looking at our photos right now, damn! I did flirt with him though, and we were sweet. I have never done that, that was the first time I decided that I'll flirt with the guy who's also flirting with me. I usually just ignore them, but this time, I just wanna go with it.
The truth behind what really made me decide to flirt with him, is because I don't want to think about Ms. Cöt. I don't like the fact that I kept thinking about her, and it's distracting me from my whole trip. I remembered that it was when I transferred to a quieter place when I felt a little bit lonely because I'm enjoying this trip on my own. It would have been nice if I have someone special with me, and the first person that entered my mind is, Ms. Cöt. I would have brought my boyfriend, if I have one, but since she's the next best thing I have, she's the one that entered my mind.
We were drinking wine and talking, hanging out under the bright moon at the highest peak of Santorini. He's fine and well built, a very gentle guy despite his tough aura, and I know that he really liked me, but still, not enough reason to kiss just so we can forget the person we love for a short time.
So yeah, I need to let this out here so I won't do anything stupid. I recently messaged him, just to check out if he's still interested in getting in touch with me, but, we're too different, it's not going to work.
Why is it that I am emotionally compatible to few men? Ugh! Then here comes Ms. Cöt, making things much harder for the guys to get to know me, 'cause Ms. Cöt just gets me. I hope that I'll meet someone who I get and he gets me too. *Praying*
Anyway, have to sleep and get on with my life. Cheerio!

The team headed by the Head of the Department, Physical Education, Bhavans, Mr. Murugaiyan expended extraordinary effort to professionally organize the event. On 17 and 18 April, the girls swimming events were inaugurated by T. Premkumar, Principal, Bhavans as well as the Convener of CBSE Kuwait Chapter. In his address, the principal welcomed all the ace swimmers of the Indian Schools in Kuwait and the officials drawn from the various CBSE schools in the country, and urged them to enjoy participating without worrying about the outcome of the competition. He also mentioned that swimming is one of the best forms of physical training to be fit. He requested the officials to adhere to the rules of the event and work as a team so that everyone is satisfied with the event organized by Bhavans Kuwait.
On the 19 and 20 April, the boys entered the pool to compete for dominance in swimming. Many swimmers were gathered at the Kazma Sports Club to watch the swimmers. The fierce battle for supremacy was waged between FAIPS Kuwait and Bhavans Kuwait. A few outstanding swimmers from FAIPS, Bhavans, and Indian Community School Kuwait (ICSK) stole the show and the medley relay saw the best swimmers in the country fight for the first position. It was indeed a battle to behold.
The closing ceremony was attended by Mr. Premkumar, the principal, Bhavans, and Kuwait Chapter Convener along with Mr. Mahesh Iyer, the principal, Smart Indian School (SIS), Kuwait. Mr. Premkumar in his closing speech congratulated all the swimmers who took part in the event with such enthusiasm, and their coaches for the training given to them.
He thanked the CBSE observer Jacob Vaidyan, a very senior PET from the United Indian School for his invaluable support and advice. He also placed on records the support given by all the PETs who made the event a memorable one. Mr. Mahesh Iyer distributed the letters of appreciation from Bhavans Kuwait and 'thank you cards' to all the 15 officials who made sure that the events were held as planned in the most professional manner.
The individual champions of the competition are as follows:Under 11 Girls: Caren Maria Joby (Bhavans Kuwait)
Under 14 Girls: Disha G Shenoy (ICSK) and Irene Susan Jose (Bhavans Kuwait)
Under 17 Girls: Kammalikka Mahendran (Bhavans Kuwait)
Under 14 Boys: Yousef Mohamed (FAIPS,Kuwait)
Under 17 Boys: Aaron Mathew Sherry (Bhavans Kuwait)
Under 19 Boys: Karthik Sivakumar (Bhavans Kuwait)
Bhavans Kuwait maintained its supremacy in the swimming contests in the country by winning the overall championship trophies in the boys' and the girls' categories with 109 and 96 points respectively relegating the teams of FAIPS Kuwait. The boys' and the girls' teams from FAIPS scored 90 and 78 points respectively to be the overall runners-up of the event.
Mr. Premkumar, the principal, IES also thanked the coaches of Bhavans Kuwait, Mr. Osama and Ms. Bhagya who made sure that the school bagged the championship trophies in the boys' and the girls' categories. The Physical Education Department of IES under the leadership of Mr. Murugaiyan received thunderous applause from all the swimmers, coaches, and teachers who were present at the venue for their wonderful planning, execution, and sportsman spirit.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

BEAVER � Monaca resident Thomas Phillips will have to wait a month to give his side of the story in his trial for allegedly assaulting a referee during a high school football game last year.
Although it was expected to last only one day, Phillips� non-jury trial on charges of assaulting a sports official, resisting arrest and public drunkenness dragged into the late afternoon Monday.
By 4:30 p.m., prosecutor Frank Martocci still had several witnesses to call and it was clear that defense attorney Stephen Colafella would need much more time to question the 10 defense witnesses that waited all day in the hall outside the courtroom.
After conferring with both attorneys, Beaver County Judge John Dohanich decided that the trial would be continued until 9 a.m. Nov. 4.
Phillips, 40, of 827 Jackson Ave., is accused of assaulting referee Eric Hermick, a state trooper, during halftime of an Oct. 9, 2009, football game between Monaca and South Side High School at Monaca Stadium.
Monaca police have said Phillips, whose son was a Monaca player, was drunk and confronted Hermick near the ramp leading to the locker rooms because he was angry about calls that went against Monaca in the first half.
On Monday, Hermick testified that he was leading the South Side team off the field when he saw Phillips with his back to him blocking the ramp that was congested with spectators and players.
Phillips had been using foul language during the game, Hermick said, so when Phillips turned toward him, he warned Phillips about his behavior and told him to move.
Hermick said Phillips then reached toward him, grabbed his shirt by his left shoulder and Hermick pushed him away. At that point, Monaca officer Eugene St. Clair, who, Hermick said, was standing next to him, intervened and all three men fell to the ground with Hermick catching himself with his hands.
St. Clair and Phillips wrestled on the ground as St. Clair repeatedly ordered Phillips to stop resisting, Hermick testified. With Phillips continuing to resist, Hermick said he tried to help St. Clair by grabbing Phillips� arm, but he could not control Phillips, either.
Jeff Bradford, another WPIAL official who was attending the game as a fan, pulled Hermick away. Bradford later testified that he did so to protect his fellow official.
St. Clair got up and shot Phillips with a stun gun after Phillips refused to surrender, Hermick said. The stun gun did not work on Phillips and he started walking toward St. Clair, he said.
�It looked to me like he was going to attack the officer,� Hermick said.
Hermick, who was behind Phillips, testified that he grabbed the hood on Phillips� sweatshirt and pulled him to the ground, allowing Monaca officers to subdue Phillips.
Hermick described Phillips as �highly intoxicated� with blood-shot eyes and reeking of alcohol.
Hermick testified that, other than grabbing Phillips� elbow, he never made any other physical contact with Phillips.
Following the state trooper�s testimony, prosecution witnesses gave varying degrees of a similar story with some glaring differences.
South Side head coach James Winner said Phillips attacked Hermick, but South Side sophomore player Devin Hample said, �I saw the ref sort of take the guy down.�
Georgetown residents Theresa Riggs and Theresa Waxler, friends who attended the game, said Phillips attacked Hermick, but neither recalled seeing St. Clair at Hermick�s side and both said Phillips got shot twice with a stun gun.
Waxler also insisted to Colafella that Phillips was wearing a gray sweatshirt although previous testimony had him wearing a red one.
Bradford, who said he was standing near Phillips, said Phillips did not appear to be drunk and was not yelling profanities. Bradford said a group of young men on the other side of him were the ones screaming at officials.
Monaca officer Mark Young said St. Clair and Phillips were wrestling on the ground when he ran to the scene. While Hermick said he pulled Phillips to the ground, Young said Phillips stopped resisting after Monaca Police Chief William Petures talked to him.
Bonnie Baker, a nurse at the Beaver County Jail, testified that she circled �No� on an assessment form that asked if Phillips was under the influence of alcohol when he was booked, but she jotted down a question mark, too.
�I was questioning whether he was under the influence of alcohol,� she said.

Snowden (and Pokemon Go) with Oliver Stone (Comic Con 2016)
Oliver Stone is already known to be one of our most controversial filmmakers and he couldnât have picked a more hot-button topic for his next project than Edward Snowden. Stone made his first-ever Comic Con appearance, giving Hall H a sneak peek at his latest film SNOWDEN, along with actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, and Zachary Quinto in tow.
The panel opened with an over-the-top Oliver Stone sizzle reel, featuring highlights from his films with text reminding the audience that his films have âinspired,â âintriguedâ and âthrilledâ us and that âGreat storytelling lives forever.â It ended with an amusing montage of pop culture references to all his movies, from The Simpsons to Seinfeld to BASEKETBALL.
They also showed the latest trailer for the film, which really sells SNOWDEN as a paranoid conspiracy thriller:
Highlights:- The movie is based on two different books: one is âNo Place to Hideâ by Glenn Greenwald, who originally broke the story at The Guardian, and the other is a fictionalized thriller that was based on Snowden.
- Oliver Stone first met Snowden in January 2014 in Moscow. Both parties were originally hesitant to make the film. Stone knew he would get beat up in press (or worse), but decided that the story worked so well dramatically that it should be made. He also mentioned making a film aimed at a younger generation, a first for him. Snowden had no interest in seeing his life dramatized, but after months of conversations with Stone, eventually relented. Together, along with another writer that Snowden approved, they continually worked on the screenplay, all the way through editing.
- Steven Soderberghâs Snowden documentary CITIZENFOUR was immediately brought up. Stone was asked what his movie could add that the documentary missed. He said they could put Snowdenâs past as a soldier and his relationship with his girlfriend into perspective. Although Stone said they worked with Snowden in Russia, spoke to journalists that broke the story, and investigated public documents, SNOWDEN is still âleft to the realm of dramatization.â
- The film was turned down by every major studio and was eventually funded by French and German companies. Stone says he doesnât think the NSA actively interfered with the making of the movie, but âyou never know whoâs listeningâ to what youâre doing. (And also added âPeople may not go to their favorite porno sites anymore.â)
- Joseph Gordon Levitt wore an American Flag shirt to the panel and first announced, âIâm sitting next to one of the most patriotic filmmakers in the history of cinema.â In order to get Snowdenâs trademark voice, Levitt said he ripped audio from CITIZENFOUR and listened to it on repeat.
- Levitt also said that the film isnâât concerned with whether or not you personally care about privacy, but the fact that the American people are promised privacy in the Constitution. The government changed that without telling anyone, so transparency is the real issue SNOWDEN deals with. He donated his acting fee from the film to the ACLU and his company HitRecordâs collaborations with the ACLU.
- All three actors met their real life counterparts. Levitt had dinner with Snowden and his girlfriend in Russia and the first thing Snowden did was to ask him how to pronounce âHitRecord.â Shailene Woodley based her character on Snowdenâs girlfriendâs past social media postings, but eventually met her while they were filming in Washington D.C.
- JGL was working a lot when the story first broke and wasnât very familiar with Snowden before the movie. He expected him to be egotistical based on the documentary, but was relieved to find heâs not and that changed the way he played him. He said Snowden was very polite and shockingly âoptimistic about technology and how it can improve democracy and state of the human race.â
- Stone made an effort to point out that they donât take political sides in SNOWDEN in the name of fairness. âWe represent the governmentâs position as well with certain characters.â Thereâs a line in the movie about the difficult threat the United States faces with cyberwarfare: âTerrorism is a short term threat. The longer threats are China and Russia.â
- This was the first film Stone shot on digital, shooting 65 mm on a new Alexa camera. He said itâs not quite the same as film, but close enough.
- The moderator joked about studios not wanting Oliver Stone to make romantic comedies, to which Stone replied, âStudios donât want me to make anything.â He then asked if Shaleine could get him a job in her next movie.
- Someone brought up Pokemon Go as a joke, but Stone got fired up and went on a rant against the popular game. When people laughed, he said it wasnât really funny and called Pokemon Go âa new level of invasionâ where the government has turned to new ways of data mining as surveillance, calling the game âSurveilance Capitalism.â He said itâs leading us all to a new robot society, a new form of behavior, and âa new form of totalitarianism.â
- Zachary Quinto also hates Pokemon Go.

Bombs exploded in London the day I was due to arrive. A dreary Thursday saw four suicide bombers board three tube trains and one bus, each heading in the direction of a compass orientation. I hardly need tell you what followed - a symbolic dissection and literal crucifixion that left 52 dead, many more wounded and a hitherto seemingly indestructible city, reeling. For the first time in known history, London was closed.
The following day I moved to a new city with a boy that I loved, fresh from our adventures in Sydney. But here, we were surrounded by chaos and noise, barely protected by the skinny walls of our "young professionals" apartment that resembled all the other characterless blocks around it. The pressures of living in a part of the city that was still rife with racial tension, trapped in a shoe box and without the beautiful backdrop of the Antiopodes soon started to take their toll. Alongside this, our desires were rapidly diverging. Unsurprisingly, we parted company. And thus began my adventures in London.
The past 6 years have been a riot of curating, communal living, media whoredom, art, old friends, new friends, whiskey, warehouse parties, burlesque dancing, bicycle riding, hula hooping, rock and roll singing, 1950s tea drinking, occupied spaces, records, classical music, ephemeral love affairs, canals, industrial landscapes, life affirming moments, vintage cars, gas cylinders, meditation, real ale, oysters, flower markets and many, many drunken Sunday lunches with a melange of colourful, creative characters. A career in the TV broadcasting industry has taken me to Cannes, New York, Dubai, Nashville Tennessee, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Zurich, Bratislava, Stockholm - and that's not even mentioning the fabulous places I've travelled to in my spare time - Cuba and Argentina being highlights.
The first few years as a (mostly) single girl living in the big smoke were characterised by liberation and optimism. However, in recent times, I have become tired of some things this big, beautiful and occasionally excruciating city has to offer. And you know what they say, when you're tired of London....
So, I have decided that now is the time to move on - to step away from the sex, drugs and TV execs I encounter almost daily in media and the visually appealing but often vacuous imagery of the East end - and swap all this for a life-changing adventure in the Far East.

The Internal Revenue Service has clear guidelines about how taxpayers can claim dependent children on income tax returns. If you've got a blended family, you can list a stepchild on your tax return as long as you meet all criteria set by the IRS.
Read the IRS criteria for claiming a stepchild. Your stepchild must live with you for more than six months of the calendar year, and the child has to be younger than you are unless the child has a permanent disability. In addition, the child must be under 19 (or under 24 if a student), can't have provided over half of his own support and no one else can claim the child for the same year.
Add your stepchild's name on line 6c, column 1 of IRS Form 1040 or 1040A. Add your stepchild's Social Security number on line 6c, column 2. Enter your stepchild's relationship to you on line 6c, column 3 – "stepson" or "stepdaughter." Place a checkmark in the box in column 4 if the stepchild is under 17 and qualifies for the child tax credit.
Add this stepchild into the number of dependents that you add for boxes 6a and 6b of the form. Place the total number of dependents in box 6d.
Sign and date the income tax form and file it with the IRS.
- If you haven't lived with your stepchild for more than six months of the calendar year, you may still be able to claim the child as a dependent if you and your spouse have an agreement with the other parent about who will claim the child. Often separated or divorced parents alternate years for claiming a child as a dependent. Attach IRS Form 8332 to your income tax return to inform the IRS of this agreement.
- List more than six dependents by including a separate statement with all of the information required in the columns in line 6 of the income tax form.

SHETLAND was a sea of fire last night as visitors flocked to the annual Up-Helly-Aa festival.
Since 1880, local people have marked the turning of the year and their Viking heritage with a torch-lit march through the island capital, culminating in up to 1,000 torchbearers throwing their firebrands into a specially built replica Viking longship, the centrepiece of a spectacular bonfire.
Up-Helly-Aa is always held on the last Tuesday of January, though it has occasionally been postponed – first for two weeks when Queen Victoria died in 1901, and the last time for a fortnight in 1965 after Sir Winston Churchill died.
After the festival, Shetlanders and an increasing number of tourist visitors to the islands can enjoy another customary annual event, a Wednesday off to recover from the excesses of the night before.
• The annual Shetland Up-Helly-Aa festival celebrates the islands' Norse heritage through an intoxicating mix of primal fire and tribal loyalties

Last week, one of my very best besties moved all the way across the country to New York City. The good news is that now I'll have a good reason to go to NYC more often, but the bad news is that I already miss her so much. You should have seen us saying goodbye at the farmers market, standing among the fruits and veggies sobbing and hugging each other forever. You may not know her by name, but her culinary creations and collaborations have been featured on my blog countless times.
She and her partner had a really lovely goodbye party at their house - where friends could just drop by all afternoon and evening... So, I knew that it was friendly duty to make them a super special Goodbye Cake. After much deliberation, I decided to make a Neopolitan Cake! I made 3 layers: chocolate, vanilla, & strawberry. For the cakes, I used the recipes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World. I made 1 1/2 batches for shallow layers in my 9x13 pan, which worked perfectly.
For the vanilla layer, I added the scrapings of a vanilla bean -- for extra vanilla power! For the chocolate cake, I used extra cocoa powder and chocolate extract. The strawberry cake took a little more creativity. I used the vanilla cake recipe as the base but instead of using non-dairy milk for the liquid in the batter, I pureed a bowl of fresh strawberries and used that instead. I also bought a bag of freeze-dried strawberries and used my Vitamix to obliterate them into powder. I mixed that into the dry ingredients. I was really happy with how it turned out -- super moist and strawberry-ish. If I were to make it again, I might even splurge and add one more bag of those freeze-dried berries!
Maybe you can see that it had a "little issue" with the strawberry cake ... I forgot to use parchment paper and it stuck to the pan. Novice move! I obviously figured it out for the next two layers. Ha ha. Luckily, I was able patch it up and move right along!
I used frosting recipes from VCTOTW. The chocolate frosting recipe in that book deserves special mention. Man it's good! For the strawberry frosting I used strawberry puree for the liquid... and I used a whole layer of sliced fresh berries on top. I'm not actually a huge frosting fan, but I know that my beloved pal is definitely a frosting fan -- so I went big and slathered that biz on! ha ha.
Here's a meal I double-cooked for two families in the same week: Potato Kale Enchiladas from Veganomicon (with pepitas and extra enchilada sauce on the side), Mexicali Chop Salad from The Real Food Daily Cookbook (with dressing on the side), and Snickerdoodles from Oh She Glows blog.
Whenever I cook for someone who's sick or just had a baby or just struggling, I try to make lots of food -- one dish that is hearty and toasty and also easily frozen, one dish that is lighter and more fresh, and always a sweet treat too. I've heard from people on the receiving end that the constant casseroles and soups get kinda old, so in addition to asking about allergies and food preferences/aversions, it's also always good to ask and see if someone has any special requests. That's also why I think it's nice to include a special salad, since it's so fresh. As for sweeties, sugar isn't really very good for the immune system -- but it is good for the soul and the heart. So I like to make some cookies or a treat that's not too sugar-laden, but still baked with lots of love.
For something on the fruity side, I made a batch of these UH-mazing Nectarine Crisp Bars. I texted with my trusty friend Kittee for some ideas about what to make and this recipe was her suggestion. Thanks Kittee!! (ps. Kittee & Julie have a new gluten-free and vegan business that is awesome Julie & Kittee -- check it out!) I used the recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Bars from Smitten Kitchen... and then I made the following changes:

Democratic presidential contenders Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are campaigning in North Carolina and Indiana in advance of primaries in both states on May 6. But Obama continues to be drawn into a controversy involving his former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. VOA National correspondent Jim Malone reports from Washington.
Senator Obama tried to distance himself from Reverend Wright in a speech on race and politics last month.
Wright has made inflammatory statements in some of his sermons over the years slamming the U.S. government for racist policies and claiming that the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States were retribution for an oppressive foreign policy.
Now, Wright is speaking out in an interview with Bill Moyers of the Public Broadcasting System.
"I felt it was unfair," he said. "I felt it was unjust. I felt it was untrue. I felt that those who were doing that, were doing it for some very devious reason. Having made me the target of hatred, yes, that is very new and something very, very unsettling."
Obama has been trying to undo the political damage from the Wright controversy ever since the story broke. And now Obama finds himself again on the defensive at a time when he is trying to recapture political momentum in the wake of Hillary Clinton's decisive victory in the Pennsylvania primary.
Obama was asked about Wright at a news conference in Indiana.
"I think that what he said in several instances were objectionable, and I understand why the American people took offense," he said. "And as I indicated before, I took offense."
Many Democrats worry that Republicans will use the Wright issue against Obama in the general election campaign if Obama wins the Democratic Party nomination.
Republicans in North Carolina have already prepared a television ad critical of Obama for his relationship with Wright, even though the presumptive Republican nominee, Senator John McCain, urged them not to air it.
McCain spoke on NBC television.
"This kind of campaigning is unacceptable, and I have said that," he said. "It will harm the Republican's cause, and I have done everything that I can to repudiate and to see that this kind of campaigning does not continue."
McCain has been on a weeklong tour of parts of the country affected by poverty, including New Orleans, which was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. McCain described the government's emergency response to Katrina as disgraceful.
But McCain's campaign activities remain overshadowed by the Democratic nomination battle.
Obama is favored in the May 6 primary in North Carolina, while he and Clinton are running even in the latest polls in Indiana, which also votes on the same day.
Clinton told supporters in North Carolina Friday that she wants another debate with Obama.
"The only question I cannot answer is why Senator Obama will not debate me in North Carolina," she said. "And I sure would like to give an answer with a date and a time, and I said I will go anywhere, anytime to have a debate because, you know, the issues in Pennsylvania are not the same as the issues in North Carolina."
The Obama campaign so far has declined to agree to a debate.
Obama victories in both North Carolina and Indiana could cement his status as the frontrunner. He continues to hold a lead in the delegate count.
But Clinton victories in both states could raise fresh doubts about Obama among the so-called superdelegates who will likely supply the margin of victory for one of the two candidates.
Superdelegates are party officeholders and activists who will attend the national convention as uncommitted delegates.
Democratic Party leaders want the superdelegates to rally around a presidential nominee by July 1, well before the national party convention in late August.

This series is intended to help you master the important and useful features of Google's Gmail and its simple but smart interface. By the end of these lessons, we'll take you from a rookie to a power user.
Gmail is one of the most popular webmail services out there. Gmail began in 2004 as what would turn out to be an extended 5-year beta and didn't become open to the public until 2007.
Gmail was one of the first web-based email products to offer a gigabyte of initial storage, trumping many of the other popular webmail services at the time, who typically offered 2 to 4 megabytes. Over time, Google has continued to increase storage capacity and now offers 15 gigabytes of initial storage when you sign up for a new account!
Google also broke with tradition by offering an interface that organizes messages into threads, and while you can still break these threads into individual messages (we'll talk about this later), it immediately made for a much cleaner inbox.
Also, Gmail tread new ground by completely doing away with old school folders. Instead, users could now apply "labels," as many as they needed, and thus filter their messages without ever filing it away in a folder. While the labels appear to do the same thing as folders, they're actually far more versatile as we'll find out later in Lesson 3.
Why Should You Use Gmail?
Let's talk a bit more about Gmail's best features and why, if you're not already using Gmail, you might consider starting.
Gmail Provides Plenty of Storage
Gmail provides over 15 GB of free storage, which allows you to save all your messages for future reference. NOTE: This 15 GB is shared with Google Drive and Google+ Photos.
Best of all, Google is always increasing your account's storage capacity, so you don't need to worry about running out of space, and if you do, you can always purchase more!
Conversations in Emails are Organized into Threads
Emails are automatically grouped according to subject line. When you receive a reply to a message, all previous related messages are displayed in a collapsible vertical thread, making it easy to see the entire conversation and review what has been discussed previously.
We will discuss the conversation view thoroughly, later in Lesson 2.
Thorough Malware and Virus-Checking Features
Gmail constantly updates its anti-malware and anti-virus scanners to give you the most up-to-date protection possible.
File attachments are saved on Google's servers, but if malware or a virus makes it through in a message, Gmail displays a warning and immediately quarantines the offending message.
You cannot turn the virus filtering off, and it does prevent you from sending an executable (.exe) file as an attachment. If you really need to send anything like an .exe file, you will first need to place it in a container such as a .zip or .rar file.
Excellent Spam Filtering
Gmail has some pretty excellent spam filtering, stray messages do get through occasionally but for the most part, you're unlikely to see messages you don't want to see.
Gmail in a Browser
We want to begin by touring the Gmail interfaces you will encounter. We'll start with the web browser, which most Gmail users will be immediately familiar with. You can access Gmail in any web browser, however, How-To Geek recommends Google Chrome, and that is the browser we use in this series.
In Lesson 2, we'll continue by focusing on the mobile Android app.
Quickly and Easily Find Messages Using the Search Box
You can quickly find email messages using the power of Google Search, which is tied into your Gmail allowing for instant results. Simply enter your search criteria in the search field and click the blue button or hit "enter."
Advanced search operators are query words or symbols that help you refine your search. They perform special actions that allow you to quickly and easily track down what you're looking for (see Google's Advanced Search help page for a list of the most useful operators).
For more search options, click the arrow on the search box.
A dialog box drops down allowing you to search for email messages based on "From,", "To," "Subject," message content, attachments, and more.
Access Other Gmail Features Using the Mail Menu
Click the "Mail" menu to access other Gmail features like Google Contacts and Google Tasks.
Perform Common Actions on Your Messages Using the Action Buttons
Action buttons let you take actions on your messages. For example, you can use the buttons to label, delete, or mark one or more messages as spam. The action buttons are located under the search box and above your messages.
Some buttons like "Archive," "Report spam," and "Labels" are only available if you've selected one or more messages or opened a message.
The "Select" button allows you to quickly and easily select all or none of your messages, all read or unread messages, or all starred or unstarred messages. Click the arrow on the "Select" button to access the various options for selecting your messages.
To quickly select all your messages, click the empty check box on the "Select" button. When the check box on the "Select" button has a check in it, all your messages are selected. Clicking the check box on the "Select" button when it contains a check mark, quickly de-selects all your messages.
The "Archive" button allows you to remove messages from your inbox, but keep them in your Gmail account, for later reference. You can think of archiving like moving an important file on your desk into your filing cabinet rather than into the trash can.
If you have received any messages that seem to be spam, use the "Report spam" button to report this to Google. While Gmail's spam filters works very well, they're not perfect and errant messages do get through every now and then. This feature helps them get better at filtering out annoying, unwanted messages. To report a message as spam, select the check box next to the message in your inbox or open the message, then click the "Report spam" button on the toolbar.
If you (or Google) has accidentally marked a message as spam, you can recover it. Simply, click the "Spam" label in the list of labels on the left. Select the message that is not spam and click the "Not spam" button on the toolbar.
Remember, the more spam messages you report, the better Google gets at filtering out these unwanted messages.
Use the "Delete" button to move messages to the "Trash." Messages in the "Trash" are permanently deleted automatically after 30 days. Once a message has been permanently deleted from "Trash," it cannot be recovered.
To "undelete" a message, move the message, drag it to the "Inbox," or another label. You can manually delete all the messages in the "Trash" by clicking the "Empty Trash now" link at the top of the list.
Gmail allows you to delete specific messages within a conversation thread. We will discuss this further in a later section.
The "Move to" button accesses a menu very similar to the "Labels" button discussed below. However, when you select one or more messages, click "Move to" and then select a label from the "Move to" menu. The selected message or messages are moved out of the "Inbox" into that label, like a folder.
The "Labels" button allows you to organize your messages into categories. They're similar to folders, but they add an additional feature not available with folders: you can add more than one label to a message.
To add a label to a message, select the message, click the "Labels" button, and select a label from the list. The list does not close after you make a selection, so you can easily apply more than one label to a message.
Only you can see labels you apply to messages. So, you can mark a message with whatever label you want, such as "Read later," and the sender of the message will never know.
Take Action on All Messages or Quickly Check Email
If you have no message selected or open, there are only three Action buttons available: "Select," "Refresh," and "More."
The "Select" button (with the empty check box) offers the same options that it does when one or more messages are selected or a message is open.
Use the "Refresh" button (with the circular arrow) to check for new email.
When no messages are selected or open, the "More" button only allows you to mark all messages as read.
Display Text on Buttons Rather than Pictures
If you prefer to have text instead of icons on the "Action" buttons, you can change a setting to accomplish this.
Click the "Settings" gear button and select "Settings" from the drop-down menu. Scroll down to the "Button labels" section and select the "Text" option.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Save Changes." All the "Action" buttons, except the "Select" button, change to display text instead of icons.

For the longest time I had uncomfortable and restless nights' sleep.
I remember having a metal frame bed and the most uncomfortable mattress in all the land. You could feel the springs through the material - it was horrendous. I used to have to carefully position my ribs between them to make myself comfortable and to not have anything digging into my body.
Alongside being a boney little rascal, I also suffer with a bad lower back, leg pain at night, and more times than often I wake up with a bad neck/shoulder from awkward sleeping positions.
When I moved to uni, I treated myself to a memory foam mattress topper - a.k.a. the closest to heaven that I have ever felt (at the time, anyway). Nothing digged into my body, stuck into my ribs, or required any careful positioning of bones. It was then I realised that memory foam was the only thing that I was ever going to sleep on again.
Moving back from uni, an awful lot happened in my personal life which required me to move house. I have many little 'rewards' that I have planned for myself for upcoming years - just silly little things like buying a Calvin Klein underwear set when I get a boob job and buying an Anastasia BH eye palette when I master the cut crease. Little (expensive) things.
The one thing I vowed to treat myself to when I moved house was a memory foam mattress and a new bed.
When you become a blogger, you don't think of what may ever be sent your way - at least I didn't anyway - and so when I came into contact with Leesa and I was offered a memory foam mattress to review, BOY OH BOY! Man alive, how lucky can a girl be?!
After a super simple ordering and delivering process (just what I like - absolutely no faffing around), the mattress arrived.
Honestly, my first impression was 'bloody hell, this is bloody heavy' - seriously, you do not expect a mattress in a box to require two men to lift. My second thought was 'hang on, how the hell is a mattress in this size box?'. My Stepdad was convinced that it wasn't a full size mattress. In a box measuring 110 x 35 x 35cm, I can't really blame him.
*Rabbit for scale. (hahaha)
After unwrapping it all (a mission in itself) and laying it down to rise to it's optimal size, I was amazed. A real-life full-sized mattress in that little box!
After leaving it a few hours (and letting the "new" smell air out - phwoar!), I popped it up on my bed and jumped straight on to check out the comfort.
The mattress is alot firmer than I imagined it would be - but that is not a problem at all. In fact, it seems to work perfectly for my body. I was aching after a long day of moving house, dreading the back pain that I would have to endure the next day, but I woke up feeling comfortable and in very little pain. I'm not sure if it was 100% to do with the mattress, but I can't think at all any other reason that it may have been!
I have been sleeping on the mattress for a month now, and I can't imagine sleeping on anything else. My leg pain hasn't woken me up once since having it, and I've been sleeping so much better in general. One of the pro's of Leesa mattresses are that you have a 100 night risk-free trial of it, and if you're not happy, you can have it collected and donated to a charity (and a full refund of course) - although, I can't see why you would want to to get rid at all!
Charity has always been something that I look for in companies - whether they have products in cooperation with a charity, or donate a fraction of their profits. I think it's so important to give back where you can.
For every mattress sold by Leesa, a tree is planted. For every ten mattresses sold, a brand new mattress is donated to an organisation that helps the homeless, and at-risk men.women and children - so far donating over 5,000. So, as well as providing yourself a better, and more comfortable, nights sleep, you're also helping others and the environment if you choose to purchase one. (You can read more about Leesa giving back by clicking here.)
And if you do plan to purchase one (would recommend), make sure to follow this link --> www.leesa.co.uk/elelibee <-- to bag yourselves £50 off!
*This post contains gifted items, but all opinions are 100% my own and completely honest.

The Make Do challenge is over!
I challenged my self for a total of 45 days. It was hard but I really wanted to change my patterns and my heart. The factor that made all the difference was prayer. I prayed to be more wise with money and with spending and I could tell that I received strength to fine tune and reform our family spending habits (It helped to have a husband who was my money saving partner.)
I will admit that when the time was up I went straight to TJ Maxx and got a fun blouse. I am excited that while I was shopping I looked for stuff that would last, that had a good fit, and would work with the rest of my wardrobe. Nena, one of our readers, said, "My only tip is that when you try on something and look in the mirror you have to say yes right away to buy it. If you have to think about it chances are you won't wear it. But if you find yourself drawn to that item over and over again maybe splurge on it."
Love that!

Ostacon No. 16 is a letter sent to Elyashiv from Hananyahu — the team speculates he was a quartermaster in Beersheba — and discusses the transfer of silver. After the MS imaging experiment, newly discovered inscriptions show that Hananyahu also asked for wine.I think they mean newly discovered letters — on the back of the ostracon, which appears blank to the naked eye.
The readable inscription on the front of Arad 16 is badly damaged after the first three lines. According to the article, the new multispectral imaging process has also clarified the readings on that side.
More please. Bit by bit, a letter at a time, whatever it takes. Until we're done.

Pardon me if I stray
but you left midway.
Time will ask its questions.
Should I then stop,
to stand as a victim of guilt?
Will you witness the ordeal
or will you care to care less.
Night after night
a dream loops,
I keep asking the same questions.
Who knows when will I wake up
and stray.

Hey Shashank !!
Do find time out to blog more often. I mean, I'm sure you can find half an hour once a week to blog about the week's happenings. Maybe you will be able to come up with some creative gems like these everytime. Even if you can't you will atleast have interesting stories to tell and since you write so well, even those would be nothing less than entertaining.
BTW, do you know KARANA, JEDI and SUYOG from Mouthshut? They are on blogs are we visit each others' blogs regularly. Find their comments on my blog.
BTW, I havent heard from you on my blog either.
Come back, Mr. Shashank. The blog world needs you [:-P]

Can your emotions get involved in a video game? Yes, but not much. Whatever sympathetic echo of triumph you experience on destroying the Evil Empire in a video game, it's probably not remotely close to the feeling of triumph you'd get from saving the world in real life. I've played video games powerful enough to bring tears to my eyes, but they still aren't as powerful as the feeling of significantly helping just one single real human being.
Because when the video game is finished, and you put it away, the events within the game have no long-term consequences.
I know, I sound like a broken record, but the easy solution to this is wireheading/an experience machine. If the only thing that matters is that humans have fun, why not put them in experience machines?
But Yudkowsky disagrees:
Asking what happens often, and binding happy emotions to that, so as to increase happiness—or asking what seems easy, and binding happy emotions to that—making isolated video games artificially more emotionally involving, for example—
At that point, it seems to me, you've pretty much given up on eudaimonia and moved to maximizing happiness; you might as well replace brains with pleasure centers, and civilizations with hedonium plasma.
I think Yudkowsky misses the point. Experience machines allow you to have complex and highly sophisticated, well, experiences. Wireheading can be more than merely maximizing happiness. Sure, your mental states don't correspond to reality, but if there isn't anything objectively meaningful apart from human preferences. I just don't see why this would matter, as long you don't know you're living in the matrix.
Of course, there could be some objective purpose, or maybe am I'm merely mistaken about my own values, so I wouldn't wirehead myself even if I could. But if Yudkowsky's metaethics and metaphysics were right, I(probably) would.
Stories without sorrow and conflict are boring reads. Is this also true for our own lives? Do we need to suffer from time to time in order to appreciate the good stuff?
Obviously, many of our current problems are totally unnecessary andtoohorrible, like losing a loved one, being sexually abused or tortured, listening to humans with double-digit-IQs, etc. Also, it's much easier to experience pain than happiness.
Even so, wouldn't life be more interesting if we could still feel e.g. romantic feelings like heartache?
Yudkowsky is not sure. And a part of me agrees with him. The Super Happy People seem – I don't know how to put it – not noble-minded, not serious, not profoundenough. (On a related note: Bad trips are almost always more profound and enlightening than good trips. Similarly, many people begin to think about existential questions, read philosophy, etc. when they are depressed or experience a crisis. Nietzsche was right: "Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker.")
But maybe I'm wrong, and we probably should err on the side of happiness.
The phenomenon of the "hedonic treadmill" suggests that we have to continuously improve our living conditions in order to be happy. Of course, we could change our emotional make-up, but since Yudkowsky is kinda bioconservative, he prefers to change the environment first.
Ok, let's assume that changing the emotional make-up is a no-no. Yudkowsky performs then some calculations which show that in many cases our exponential self-improvement could only last for about 30.000 years. Which isn't that long, if you think about it.
As an aside: At around 18 or 19 I was quite depressed because of the second law of thermodynamics and the (seemingly) inevitable heat death of the universe. These days I'm more worried about Everett-branches or other universes in which I'm tortured for all eternity through some malicious god or a uFAI. (I really, really hope that these Multiverse-theories turn out to be false. Or that there exists something that prevents shit like that from happening. Srsly.)
Yudkowsky hopes that the laws of physics somehow permit true immortality, which is obviously far from certain. I agree, that would be pretty neat, but as I said above, I'm not that hard to please in eschatological matters.
On second thought, screw that.
I want the Omega Point.
Most proposed utopias are way too dull and boring.
Life in a true Utopia has to be unpredictable and exciting – it has to be scary.
Totally. LSD dwarfs alcohol. (I know. Most of my analogies are related to drugs. Sorry.)

The things that will get my husband into the kitchen to cook ...(eyes rolling). It's either a "MacGyver" dish or something like this... technical. Mr Extremes.
Maybe I shouldn't name it "Sci-Fi Steak" but "Scientific Steak". He watched a program called Kitchen Chemistry and the lightbulb on the top of his head lit up...and I could see the gears in his head start churning.
I'm not complaining, it turned out beautifully. If you like your steaks flavorful, juicy, tender and perfectly medium rare, this is the method to achieve it. This method creates the most evenly cooked steaks I've ever experienced....beautifully pink throughout. Not a graduation from fully cooked to the cold, raw centers we usually get when we ask for medium rare / rare "doneness". Is it only me or does anyone else have a problem with the term "doneness"?
1 large pot
1 pair of long stainless steel tongs
1 chopstick / skewer
Elastic bands
Heatproof plastic bag / Baking bag
Cooking thermometer
2 steaks of your choice
salt, pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
Clarified butter / Ghee
Bring a pot of water to a steady 60˚C. Use cooking thermometer to accurately maintain temperature.
Season steaks.
Heat pan with a little clarified butter / ghee and quickly sear both sides of the steaks on high heat. Remove. Add the chopped garlic and onion into the hot pan and stir until aromas are released. Take care not to burn the garlic. Remove pan from heat. Return the steaks to the pan and stir to mix through.
Put pan contents into a heat proof plastic bag. Expell as much air as possible and seal with elastic bands. Be careful not to scald yourself.
- A sealed vacuum in the bag is ideal. But if a little care is taken and there are no obviously large pockets of air in the bag, the dish will work out fine.
This is where my husband went MacGyver on me and used a contraption made up of, a short length of stainless steel tube, elastic bands, a wine bottle stopper and its related vacuum pump to achieve a sealed vacuum without a commercial vacuum sealing device. -
Suspend the sealed bag in the pot of 60˚C water for a minimum of 2 hours.
Remove steaks from bag. Serve immediately, no resting needed.
Reserve liquid. Thicken and season to taste. Serve with steaks.
* Side dishes - roasted potatoes, vegetables etc.
Recommended read - see, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide. The method is apparently from the 1800's....where they found plastic bags, I wonder....hmmm. Searing the steaks first arguably has taste and food safety benefits. Keeping a 60˚C water bath sacrifices the last bit of tenderness but is above the recommended pasteurization temperature.

Here's an exciting new development from Librarything. I really want to try this out, but I'm not convinced that I'm going to be able to just paste a widget into my library catalogue's html. I've been there many a time, most recently to get syndetics images to display. Extracting ISBNs to supply to Librarything would be the easy part. But, Librarything assures us that it will work with ANY library catalogue system.
Librarything for Libraries is going to offer tags, reviews and links to other editions and translations based on the huge database of books created by librarything users.
It can be seen in action at Danbury Library Catalog. A good book to see how it works is Ender's game by Orson Scott Card. The record contains a link to a different edition, links to similar books and tags. The tags can be used to find other works in the catalogue.

Yoemen overwhelmed in loss to China Spring
Service Directory
Throughout the first two weeks of the season, China Spring has been one of the more dominating teams in the state of Texas. The Cougars had rolled by rival Lorena in week one and followed that up with another thrashing of Huntsville in week two.
Not much changed on Friday night from Yoe Field, as the Cougars continued that streak of impressive victories in an overpowering 63-13 victory over the Yoemen.
Even before the opening kickoff of this highly anticipated matchup, things were not going the way of the Yoemen. With some confusion on the coin flip, Cameron accidentally decided to kick the ball off to China Spring even though they had deferred to the second half.
Initially, it did not hurt as the Yoemen forced China Spring into a quick three-and-out. However, the Cameron offense would never be able to put up points and the special teams unit failed to recover two kickoffs. All of this led to China Spring taking a commanding 35-0 lead into the locker room.
Brett Cain started the scoring off with a 1-yard TD run to put China Spring up 7-0 with 6:34 left in the first. The combination of the China Spring offensive line and RB Keaton Dudik were a deadly combo from that point forward.
The senior scored on runs of 20 yards and 94 yards, in addition to a 29-yard pass from QB Cutter Haigood that would put the game out of reach at the half.
Haigood extended the lead to 42-0 early in the third with an 8-yard run. The Yoemen got on the board later in the quarter as QB Zack Andress would find Jordan Young in the end zone on an 8-yard pass. Yoe Receiver Garrett Roeder would catch (26-yard) the other touchdown pass from Andress to close the gap to 49-13 as we headed to the final quarter of play.
Erik Hart, another running-back in the Cougar's stable, would punch in a pair of 11-yard and 6-yard scores in the fourth.

Brief/Primer for HOUSE OF SKIN: A Tribute to David Cronenberg's Films.
Hey, Dave K. here. You might know me as A Fiend On Film or you might not know me at all (probably the latter). After publishing two successful film based fanzines, Hara-Kiri: Extreme Asian Films (2016) and FIENDISH (2017), we are going for a 3rd in 2018. It will have one theme and that is to celebrate the films of David Cronenberg. Everybody usually waits for someone to die before they start looking back on their life, I wanted to put together something that celebrates a career while they are still alive.
David Cronenberg has a long and very solid history making films since the late 1960's. I personally consider him to be the most consistent of all genre directors out there. While I have not personally seen every single film he has worked on (that is one of the reasons I am setting this up), all the ones I have seen I rate pretty highly (Crash is my favorite). He has always been interesting.
So here is what I am asking you to do, write about his films, either a single one or a few. I am looking for more long form writing this time out but don't let that scare you off. Write what you feel. For me, I plan on watching films of his I missed and put them into one long form article. You can do the same if so desired. The writing can be new or if you have done something on an old blog/website but never saw print. I know I have many returning writers for this project though I really would welcome some new blood (or flesh)…
I would like to also see some artwork based on these films. Either direct representations or "inspired" form. It would have to be something that can be replicated in black and white well.
The fanzine itself will be 8 1/2/ x 11 inches B & W with a color front cover.
This is an all volunteer project. I cannot pay for any material but all people who respond with writing/art work, etc. will get a printed copy when it is released in January 2018. This will also be available a PDF for screen and to print. It can be as big as we can get it, I would like to shoot for 100 pages.
I would like to have all material in by December 1st 2017.
If you have any questions, please contact me at: email@example.com with "HOUSE OF SKIN" in the subject line.

But back on track - I have scrapped my fair share of my son this past week..So boy overload coming on..I am sorry..But boy layouts flowed out of me - so that's what you've got:
It was a colour palette challenge for the month of November.. And a tricky one at that. Not colours that I would normally run with - BUT that is what a challenge is all about I suppose! I had this photo of Rylan and it suited the colour scheme perfectly. The stars were created by cutting out the outline of already used star stickers - if that makes some sense? And I liked the sunburst paper - worked well with the theme..
The challenge this month was to leave white space. Well...No probs there..Most of my layouts have this.. The colours in this layout were much more my kind of deal too! The R..is from YEARS ago and I located them during my big clean up. Score.. This is HIM right now..Always moving...Cutie patootie..
I always like these challenges...This month was to use this combo:
Yellow + washi tape + handmade object
I always like to throw in a bit of yellow these days - when in the past it was pretty much taboo..I have a scrappy friend now moved away who always hated using yellow...Ahhhh...So on that note - One of my handmade objects was my mist. I mixed yellow paint and water to create my own.. I love my coloured stars.. Noice. I also created my own washi tape. I painted masking tape white and while it was wet misted it green and then used the end of a pencil to create the dots before the mist dried...I liked it it so much I made more for another layout I will post later...
This layout also started life on patterned paper but I preferred the stars on the white..So it became what you see...
See?? Boy overload...
More chicks next time..

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - After months of discussion, the City of Myrtle Beach has officially passed a ban on tents at the beach during the busy summer season.
The resolution passed its second reading with a vote of 5 to 1 during the city council meeting Tuesday, and will be signed into law. The ban will take place from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year, starting this summer.
The ordinance passed its first reading earlier this month, and it regulates beach tents, which comes in addition to an existing ordinance restricting "shading devices," such as umbrellas and lean-tos, that are over 7.5 feet in diameter.
The ordinance passed in spite of several concerns raised earlier in the day Tuesday during the City Council's workshop session.
The difference in times that tents would be banned spurred discussion about whether the dates should be consistent across the board during the workshop. Several council members said that doesn't matter, because people usually don't go from one beach to another during their visit.
Then, of course, there is the issue of what year this should go into effect. A concern business owners voiced was that their clients have no way of knowing about the change this year. One councilman said he's not sure people will pay attention until they need to.
Myrtle Beach spokesman Mark Kruea said the beach tent problem is a relatively new one.
"People are very much attached to their tents," Kruea said. "But again, the tents have only grown in popularity over the last five, six 10 years or so, so you went to the beach a long time before the tents existed too."
Several council members worried that families may be chased away if they cannot bring a baby tent to the beach for their infants or children.
An alternate ordinance was brought to the table that would allow pup tents and baby shades for those families who want to enjoy the beach with their babies. It allows smaller shading devices like sun-domes, lean-to's, and pop-up tents that are smaller than eight-feet tall, but still bans large tents, which are primarily the problem.
The original ordinance was ultimately passed without any changes or amendments.
Some of the beaches in Myrtle Beach have become so popular in the summer, that the city says beach tents have become a huge issue for several reasons:
"First of all, safety, making sure you can get through a wall of tents to get to the beach in the event of an emergency, making sure emergency responders can get there," said city spokesman Mark Kruea. "The fact that they take up a lot of real estate, more people could enjoy the beach with fewer tents out there. And then over the last five years, we've essentially added two million extra visitors, so there are more people trying to use the beach."
For some frequent tourists, this new rule could be a deal breaker.
"It would deter us from coming to the beach," said Emily Jager, a frequent visitor. "Not having them, not being able to use them - we ourselves are not necessarily full sun people, so we need the little protection and the shade."
The City of North Myrtle Beach passed a similar ordinance last week, banning shading devices during the same time on all of its beaches. The ban will be in effect from May 15 to Sept. 15, and in addition to tents, bans any umbrella with a diameter over nine feet.
Many viewers spoke in favor of this ban when it was announced last week.
"Hope the rest of the Strand follows suit! Tired of seeing empty "tents" reserving space for hours on end!" commented viewing Galen Ruppert on the WMBF News Facebook page.
Read more about North Myrtle Beach's ban here: http://www.wmbfnews.com/story/25000358/north-myrtle-beach-bans-use-of-shading-devices-other-than-umbrellas
Different cities are moving forward and working on different beach tent bans. But since there's literally no line in the sand, the concern is different bans along the Grand Strand will confuse tourists. The Horry County Council is still considering two proposed county ordinances: a seasonal ban or just a flat-out, year-round ban.
"We'd all like to be on the same page," explained Myrtle Beach City Spokesperson Mark Kruea, "whatever the rule is, so it eliminates confusion and makes it easier to enforce."
Horry County Council discussed the issue earlier this month at their council meeting. A year-long ban of beach tents passed a first reading unanimously. The county is expected to vote on the second reading of the year-round ban that would prohibit anything except umbrellas on April 1.
