Metalalia--Postmodern Fairy Tales for Your Tablet and Phone
It's been about 200 years since the brothers Grimm first committed pen to paper in order to preserve the folktales of their native Germany.
Since then, fairy tales have grown and contracted, been melted down and reforged to make new alloys of folk-and-fiction. The twenty-first century has already seen impressive and stunning contributions to the fairy tale tradition, but what about the storytelling medium? To see the written word upon paper expire is the last thing I want, as I'm sure all of you agree. But adaptability is key to survival. And movies just aren't cutting it as a successful fairy tale medium (see my review of Disney's latest Frozen).
Enter Metalalia, an immersive, digital fairy tale storytelling experience.
|character design for The Wind-up Boy
Musician Pam Shaffer and author Alex Nicholson have defied distance to join their creative efforts over the width of the Atlantic (Steel thistles and glass mountains? Please!). Together, with a team of talented professionals, they've laid the foundations for an app that will bring "future-twisted fairy tales" to your fingertips with original scores, fresh imagery, and interactive elements. This means users will be able to "tailor their experience by combining or removing artistic elements, customizing the story, and making it more accessible."
|first page of The Hair-Woven Rope
A multimedia storytelling experience that harnesses organic audience-to-author interaction recreating folkloric origins in a 21st century context? I think yes.
The Metalalia team are rallying fairy tale enthusiasts and free-spirited creative types to help them fund the launch of their app on Kickstarter. At the time of my writing, they have already raised almost $2,000 of their $9,000 dollar goal.
If this looks like something you'd appreciate; if you feel the importance of the digital medium in preserving our sacred fairy tales and engendering new ones; or if you just want some really cool freebies, click over there and donate anything from $1 to $1,000. Whatever you feel moved to contribute.
If you're at all like me, they'll have you at "digital illuminated manuscript" and "William Blake."

RPGFan's policy on reviewing the instrumental FF singles is that we normally do not do it because they are usually obscure, unheard of, and consist of music found on the complete OST that the single is released under. Final Fantasy's singles as of now include Final Fantasy IV Minimum Album, Final Fantasy V +1, Final Fantasy V Mambo de Chocobo, Final Fantasy VI STARS Vol. 1, Final Fantasy VI STARS Vol. 2, Final Fantasy VI Special Tracks (this review), Final Fantasy VIII Eyes on Me, and Final Fantasy IX Melodies of Life. All of these singles have music found on other soundtracks, unless the music pertains to something outside of Final Fantasy (such as FFVIII's single, which has more vocal songs by Faye Wong). Most of the "unreleased" songs on the FF4-6 singles are found on Final Fantasy Mix...The songs that aren't are found on the Final Fantasy VI Special Tracks.
The FFVI Special Tracks are very neat. The first song is a vocal track (male vocals with a chorus for the chorus...), the music based on the the next track, "Town 2". This is some town music Uematsu wrote for FF6 but didn't make it on the game. Town 3 is another of this case. The next track is a beautiful (but still synth) remix of FFIV's "Troian Beauty." And then, the last track is a Karaoke version of the first track. The track I left out is THE BEST version of this over-done song I have ever heard.
"Techno de Chocobo (another mix)" has to be the best Chocobo song I've ever heard. It starts out sounding...mediocre at best. But about half-way through the track, something changes. The beat is different, the background synth is different, and a live piano is thrown in. This makes for the best Chocobo song to date. I implore you to check out the sample for this.
This CD cannot be found on any online store, but it goes up on eBay every now and then and sells for around $30 each time...Pretty pricy for 20 minutes, but I say it's worth it.

6 Common Attributes of Knowledge Work and Knowledge Workers
The fact that knowledge workers primarily rely on their brains in their jobs rather than their bodies means that they have some attributes in common. These aren't terribly surprising, and they all follow from a few basic principles and observations, but they need to be stated. Most derive from the fact that knowledge work is less structured and perhaps less structurable than administrative or production work.
The basic principles and observations follow below:
1. Knowledge Workers like Autonomy
One important aspect of knowledge workers is that they don't like to be told what to do. Thinking for a living engenders thinking for oneself. Knowledge workers are paid for their education, experience, and expertise, so it is not surprising that they often take offense when someone else rides roughshod over their intellectual territory.
Of course, knowledge workers don't like for their work to be ignored, and there are some things they like to be told, such as the broader significance and implications of their tasks and jobs. But they'd generally like the details to be left to them.
This autonomy is in part a natural result of the nature of knowledge work. Since it's difficult to tell whether a knowledge worker is actually thinking at any given moment, supervisors pretty much have to take their word for it.
The knowledge worker also knows the circumstances in which he or she thinks best. If a computer programmer tells the boss that he is most productive working from 8PM to 4AM, smart bosses would try to facilitate that arrangement. The outputs of knowledge work are also difficult to specify in great detail, so that is generally left up to the worker.
2. Specifying the detailed steps and flow of knowledge-intensive processes is less valuable and more difficult than for other types of work.
This is a corollary of my first generalization about knowledge work.
Knowledge workers don't like to be told what to do, and they also don't like see their jobs reduced to a series of boxes and arrows.
Typically, when we want to improve performance we begin by breaking down the structure of the task into its constituent elements. This has been the case at least since Frederick Taylor's day, if not before. The idea is that when broken into piece-parts, knowledge work processes can be more easily followed and measured, and unnecessary steps eliminated altogether.
However, this approach often doesn't work very well for knowledge work and workers.
In my experience, knowledge workers will often resist describing the steps they follow in their work. The more complex and knowledge-intensive the work, the more likely this will be true. Perhaps there are so many variations that describing the typical flow of work is impossible. Knowledge work also often involves a high degree of iterative collaboration among knowledge workers, and this may be difficult to describe or model.
Even if you can get a knowledge worker to describe his or her work process, it may not be a very helpful description. First, the work flow may not be very similar to another worker's description of the supposedly same process.
Secondly, the steps may seem maddeningly inefficient: "First I come up with an idea. Then I think about it for a while. Then I talk to my lab partner about it. Then I think about the reactions she's given me." Such a process would be anathema to a stopwatch-packing Taylorist, but it's often how knowledge workers - particularly those involved in knowledge creation activities - work.
3. "You can observe a lot by watching." (Lawrence Peter Berra)
A natural follow-on to the previous attribute of knowledge workers is that if you can't get them to describe their work in detail, you have to observe it in detail. Systematic observation - also known as "shadowing" or "ethnography" - is often a way to better understand how knowledge workers do their work.
4. Knowledge workers usually have good reasons for doing what they do.
In the days of business process reengineering, we assumed that smart analysts could quickly figure out better ways of doing work. This was, in fact, often true. Nobody had ever thought about many administrative and operational processes before, and improvements were easily identified.
It's not so easy with knowledge work, which is one of the reasons why we have to observe it closely. Knowledge workers have typically thought about why and how they do their work, and have made many of the obvious improvements to it. There is probably a reason behind almost everything they undertake (or at minimum a logical rationalization).
If improvements are going to be identified, it's probably only after serious and deep study.
5. Commitment matters.
In the industrial economy, one could do a job with one's body even when the brain and heart weren't committed to the job.
But this isn't the case for knowledge work. It's unlikely that you'll get great performance out of a knowledge worker if he or she isn't mentally and emotionally committed to the job.
This fact has a number of ramifications. Chief among them is that knowledge workers need some say in what they work on and how they do it.
There is nothing that limits commitment like being told what to work on by someone else. This factor is behind, for example, the famous 3M approach of giving researchers 15% of their time to work on something they think is important to the company.
Obviously knowledge workers are generally willing to do some things that others ask (or even tell) them to do, but a degree of voluntarism helps a lot.
6. Knowledge workers value their knowledge, and don't share it easily.
Knowledge is all that knowledge workers have - it's the tool of their trade, the means of their production.
It's therefore natural that they would have difficulty relinquishing or sharing it in such a way that their own jobs might be threatened.
In the early days of knowledge management, when companies were beginning to talk about sharing knowledge within and across organizations, I used to say, "Sharing knowledge is an unnatural act."
I also mentioned that, "Of course, unnatural acts are committed every day."
Companies just needed to put the necessary incentives and assurances in place to ensure that people were willing to share their knowledge.
But that's the subject of another post, or you could read my book.

This piece is a nice precis of a chapter in the book, and connected to research you've done on the characteristics of high-performing knowledge workers. Your experience squared with Danny O'Brien who was cited in a NYT Magazine article last week about Life hackers.
But will the next generation of knoweledge workers be the same? Will those characteristics as they relate to tech devices stay stable over time?
The following is from the Chronicle of Higher Ed via the Baird newsletter (which is publicly distributed) and should be taken with a large grain of salt, but it made me wonder about the stability of those characteristics:
The Chronicle of Higher Education reports on how tech-savvy "Millennials" are faring
at college and how their learning style is better suited to blogs and podcast lectures
than more traditional methods. The article quotes Richard T. Sweeney, university
librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, who advises colleges to adapt
their approaches. Born between roughly 1980 and 1994, the Millennials have already
been pegged and defined by academics, trend spotters, and futurists according to the
Chronicle: "They are smart but impatient. They expect results immediately. They
carry an arsenal of electronic devices – the more portable the better. Raised amid a
barrage of information, they are able to juggle a conversation on Instant Messenger,
a Web-surfing session, and an iTunes playlist while reading Twelfth Night for
homework. Most important, Millennials expect to be able to choose what kind of
education they buy, and what, where, and how they learn." According to Mr.
Sweeney, this could include classrooms that incorporate videos and even video
games, classes that meet electronically to fit students' schedules, instruction that
comes from fellow students as often as from a professor, and courseware, search
engines, and library databases that are animated, image-based, and interactive. The
arrival and dominance of the Millennials bodes well for CMS providers, though
Sweeney says students would prefer to see online course management systems, like
WebCT and Blackboard, operate faster and be more interactive, presenting content
in video or audio formats.
My own take is that the tech characteristics of the newer group may be oversold.

Crimson Exploration Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate Sale to C
Crimson Exploration Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate Sale to Contango Oil & Gas
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of Crimson Exploration, Inc. ("Crimson") (NasdaqGM: CXPO) to Contango Oil & Gas Company for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed sale, Crimson shareholders will only receive 0.08288 shares of Contango stock for each share of Crimson stock owned. Based upon the closing price of April 29, 2013, the total consideration is valued at approximately $3.19 per share, well below at least one analyst's estimated value of $6.00 per share.
If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the lawsuit or join the action, please contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 239-4568, via email at email@example.com or Zach Groover at Powers Taylor, LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via email at email@example.com. There is no cost or fee to you.
The Crimson sale investigation centers on whether Crimson's shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the proposed deal, whether the transaction undervalues Crimson's stock, and whether Crimson's board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance has estimated that the true inherent value of Crimson stock could be as high as $6.00 per share. Moreover, Crimson's 52-week high is $5.69, well above the proposed sale price. According to shareholder rights attorney Patrick Powers, "due to the size of the deal, analysts' estimates, the nature of a stock-for-stock transaction, the lack of a significant premium and other factors, we believe this transaction may undervalue Crimson's stock. Our proposed lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders."
The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC is a full service business litigation and shareholder rights advocacy firm with more than 20 years of experience in complex litigation and transactional matters.
Powers Taylor, LLP is a boutique litigation law firm that handles a variety of complex business litigation matters, including claims of investor and stockholder fraud, shareholder oppression, shareholder derivative suits, and security class actions.

Max D Isaacson .com | Order Book | Foolproof Ways to Wealth BLOG
Welcome, my name is Max Isaacson.
Prior to buying my own business, I led a rather mediocre life. Happily married for many years, my wife and I decided that small business ownership was something we could invest in. We have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams and I want to share our steps to success with you in my book, Foolproof Ways to Wealth in Small Business.
If you're like most adults, there have been many times when you longed for the freedom, personal and financial independence of having a thriving and successful business of your own... but never thought you had the resources or knowledge to get started...finally, you're about to discover the breakthrough you've been looking for.
Andy Rooney of the 60 Minutes television program has admitted that he would "like to be rich enough so I could throw soap away after the letters are worn off." I'm personally rich enough to do that now, and I can show you how you, too, can succeed as a business owner.
My book tells you how. Subjects covered in-depth include the following:
And I show you 18 other business-related rules for success.
I've owned five small businesses, and I have lots of information that can help you pursue your dream of being your own boss and taking control of your life.
"As a fellow Iowan, I'm happy to recommend Max Isaacson's book.
The owner of five small businesses, he has demonstrated over the past
two decades that he knows how to succeed."
--Chuck Grassley, U.S. Senator
"I've had the pleasure of dealing with Mr. Isaacson and I know he is
a successful small businessman from whom you can learn much. I'm
pleased to have been one of his customers for the past 20 years."
-- Frank W. Abagnale, International Business Consultant, subject of the biographical book and movie, Catch Me If You Can!
I show you how to become independently wealthy and earn the respect of your family and your community. I give you step-by-step details of my secrets for success. Amazingly, I prove that you can be successful even though you may not have prior ownership experience.
It's not easy, but you can do it. How?
Let me reassure you that you can succeed. I am the son of a poor coal miner and I had no head start or inheritance to build on. I didn't start until I was past middle age. If I can do it, so can you.
In my book, I reveal to you a practical plan ANYBODY, regardless of business experience or the lack of financial assets, can use.
I'm proud to say that I have been an award-winning public speaker and I know the advantages (and fears) of speaking in public. I also know that it's a skill that makes it easier to run a business.
Learning to speak in public was difficult for me. In order to overcome my fear I contacted many high-profile luminaries and they shared with me how they overcame stage fright. I want to pass their answers on to you.
To find out what it takes and to receive the free book (How to Conquer the Fear of Public Speaking and Other Coronary Threats) click here to get started now! You'll be glad you did.

Why no Asians? Gotta draw the line somewhere. There are also no Amazonians in the cartoon, some of whom have also moved there.
(LANGUAGE WARNING:) You might have heard about a stupid "white privilege" cartoon being shown in schools, but only after a bunch of parents complained about it and it made the news.
Something called the African American Policy Forum made this animated propaganda film back in 2010, but their website also says that schools "been using it for decades."
So I guess that makes them time travelers...
Anyway, "The Unequal Opportunity Race" argues that blacks need affirmative action, using the analogy of a relay race.
Except that very concept, and pretty much everything shown in the movie, undermines the whole premise.
There are so many horrible analogies (not to mention junk social science, lousy logic, fake history and glaring omissions -- why aren't their any Asians in this "race"?) that the guy who made this stupid movie really should go back to school...
Showing this film to kids should be ranked as child abuse.

While still working as a manufacturers' rep in 2000, I attended the annual conference hosted by the Manufacturers' Agents Association for the Foodservice Industry, where I heard foodservice design consultant Jim Webb deliver a keynote address titled "Integrity 2000."
Jim espoused that our industry should step back from a direction of providing foodservice equipment and services based solely on the lowest cost. He spoke about the importance of providing value for our products and service offerings. He even laid out a program for various industry players to sign a pledge and use the Integrity 2000 symbol he developed in their marketing campaigns. I believe it takes courage to step out in front of your industry and make a bold statement about its direction and to care enough to put your personal reputation on the line to try to challenge that trajectory.
From that day forward, I made a point of keeping track of Jim and his firm, Tustin, Calif.-based Webb Foodservice Design. I rooted for their corporate success and looked for opportunities to interact with Jim. Through his creative vision and the hard work of his outstanding organization, Webb Foodservice Design has done great work and has received well-deserved accolades.
Unfortunately, this past October Jim lost his battle with cancer. Without a doubt, the foodservice industry will remember Jim for all he has accomplished in his professional career. However, if that is where Jim Webb's impact ends, we will have missed out on his true legacy.
Over the last year of Jim's life, I was fortunate enough to spend a significant amount of time with him. I observed a man who lived out the value of the integrity he spoke about in 2000 in all aspects of his life. He loved his family and cared deeply about his co-workers and his friends. He possessed a gentle, giving spirit and willingly shared his gifts with others. While Jim was certainly passionate about his work, he exhibited a much greater passion for impacting lives. Even as he came to the realization that his valiant battle with cancer was coming to an end, Jim never lost hope and he never stopped reaching out to others with love.
In our conversations and through our correspondence, Jim and I often spoke about "walking through this season of life together." It has been a wonderful journey and a blessing that I will cherish the rest of my life. I pray that his legacy will extend well beyond his professional accomplishments and reach into each of our hearts.
What a better industry we will have, and what a greater impact we will have on this world, if we strive to live our lives with the integrity and passion that Jim lived his.
Rest in peace Jim Webb.

Dec 21 12 In Byron Bay Today's Week In Review
Oops Apocalypse, In Byron bay Today's Week In Review. Ok folks now don't panic, but byt the time you read this, according to the Mayan calendar, time runs out, In Byron Bay today. So there we have it game over apparently. Well that is if you happen to be the sort of person who places great stock in ancient civilisations that were into human sacrifice. Of course they did actually die out from a self induced famine caused by the lack of foresight to stop over farming their own land. But what the hey, let's play along anyway, let's just say woopsy daisy here comes the end of time and just go surfing instead. Oh well, it's been great knowing you all. I guess this will probably sort out the crowd issues at least. But just in case by some miraculous intervention, we all wake up tomorrow and find that it's the 22nd of December and we're all still here. Then we'll be back with more real soon, In Byron Bay Today.

But I think it underlies why the Egyptian army was not acting oppressively; ready to listen.

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — Vahe Aristakessian wasn't going to fret after he missed a free throw in the closing seconds of the second half that likely would have given the Glendale High boys' basketball team a victory in regulation against Pacific League rival Burroughs.
Aristakessian shook off the misfortune and took it upon himself to stand out in overtime. He got the job done.
"I missed the free throws at the end (with 3.6 seconds left), and I wanted to help my team win in overtime," said Aristakessian, who scored six of his 20 points in overtime to spark Glendale to a 48-45 victory against Burroughs on Friday afternoon in a pool-play game of the Vaquero Summer Classic at Glendale Community College. "Burroughs has a pretty good team, so I knew I had to go out there and step it up.
"I felt like I could have some momentum going into overtime. We wanted to not only win this game, but we want to win our pool."

Porsche may be set to cash in on growing demand for crossovers with coupe-like styling, a segment initiated by the BMW X6, by launching its own version based on the next-generation Cayenne. If built, the vehicle would not only have the X6 to contend with but also Mercedes-Benz's upcoming MLC based on the recent Concept Coupe SUV as well as a similar model from Audi.
According to Autocar, the so-called 'Cayenne Coupe' is advanced in its initial design proposal stage but there are concerns within the company that additional crossoverand SUV models may hurt the exclusivity of the Porsche brand.
"We have been considering launching a more sporting derivative of the Cayenne for some time now," a senior Porsche official is reported to have said. "The problem has been the production capacity at our Leipzig factory and the strong sales of the regular Cayenne."
If built, the vehicle would ride on the SUV version of the Volkswagen Group's new MLB Evo platform, which debuts in the 2015 Audi Q7 and will underpin the next-generation Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg as well as the new Bentley SUV and production Lamborghini Urus. The vehicle would be the sportiest Cayenne variant, but will likely share its powertrains with the regular model.
Expect it to have a low ride height, coupe-like profile and a five-door, liftback bodystyle.
With the next-generation Cayenne set to bow around 2017, we may see the coupe version launched as early 2018… if it's approved for production. Note, Porsche will be launching a facelifted version of the current Cayenne for the 2015 model year.

As I got on the bus, the driver looked at me and frowned. "Good morning," I smiled and he responded, "I'm helping out a friend today, first time on the route - it's simple, right?" "It's rather easy, do you want me to stay here and help you out?" He responded positively, and off we went. As we progressed on the route, he explained how his co-worker needed a favor and he had no time to learn the route properly. "I was hoping someone will help, and everyone so far has been great." I guess sometimes us Israelis don't disappoint!

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Max Baer today announced the selection of seven counties to participate in the launch of the Pennsylvania State Roundtable's Family Engagement Initiative. The roundtable is a collaborative effort among state and national court and child welfare leaders.
Building upon past successes, the initiative will focus on enhancements to local child dependency systems which serve abused or neglected children and their families.
"The selected counties will get training from international experts to teach them cutting-edge practices rooted in research and science to enhance the way they help children and families," said Justice Baer. "The counties will receive resources developed specifically for them. It's exciting to be working with such a dedicated and motivated group of court and county leaders to improve the lives of our most vulnerable children."
The seven counties chosen include Adams, Blair, Clinton, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Northampton and Union. The selection process was statewide and competitive. Interested counties were required to submit a letter of interest which included signatures from the lead dependency judge, the president judge, the county commissioners and the child welfare director.
With a larger than expected number of counties applying, the selection process was rigorous. Final selections were made by the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts' Office of Children and Families in the Courts (OCFC); the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services' Office of Children, Youth and Families; and Justice Baer.
Factors considered in the selection process included:
- strong collaboration between county courts and children and youth agencies
- current family engagement practices
- data reviews
The Family Engagement Initiative was developed by the Pennsylvania State Roundtable and is supported by the OCFC and the Federal Court Improvement Program, in partnership with the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and Department of Human Services' Office of Children, Youth and Families.
"The initiative uses evidence-based practices that identify and meaningfully involve healthy family members and close friends in the lives of child welfare families," said Sandy Moore, the OCFC's director. "This requires the support of all local leaders within the selected counties.
"Some of the many outcomes we hope to see from this collaboration include increased family involvement, reduced trauma to children and a reduction in the time children are separated from those who love and care about them."
The Pennsylvania State Roundtable plans to expand this initiative to other counties in 2018.

I don't like salt. I don't like adding a large amount in baking, and I don't like sprinkling it over food. Yet this recipe, from the Hummingbird Bakery: Cake Days book, looked interesting as I had heard about the wonders of salted caramel. I was curious as to how salt would work in caramel, let alone this cake, so I made it. It took hours - I started at around 5:30pm on Wednesday, first making the salted caramel, then the silky chocolate caramel frosting. Then it was time to bake three layers of intensely chocolaty cake, one layer at a time as I only had one tin. After a thorough cleaning of the kitchen, it was almost midnight, so I thought I would wait until the morning to assemble the cake. The frosting had hardened in the fridge overnight - waiting on it to soften was agonizing as I couldn't wait to put all the yummy elements together (as it turns out, I love salted caramel). Assembling the cake was exciting. Each layer of chocolate cake was spread first with the salted caramel, then the frosting. The result? A moist chocolaty cake with a twist: caramel that oozes from each layer with salt that only serves to complement a unique, decadent flavour. After one bite, my sister declared it the best thing I have ever made. And I've made a lot of stuff.
Sweet & Salty Chocolate Cake
(Recipe from Hummingbird Bakery: Cake Days)
For the salted caramel
200 grams (7oz) caster sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
120 ml (4fl oz) double cream
60 ml (2fl oz) soured cream
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
For the frosting
200 grams (7oz) caster sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
360 ml (12½ fl oz) double cream
450 gram (1lb) dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), chopped
450 grams (1lb) unsalted butter, softened
Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling, optional
For the layers
300 grams (10½ oz) unsalted butter, softened
300 grams (10½ oz) caster sugar
140 grams (5 oz) soft light brown sugar
3 eggs
100 grams (3½ oz) cocoa powder
160 ml buttermilk - I used sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
330 grams (11½ oz) plain flour
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon salt
To make the salted caramel
In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and golden syrup to the boil with 60ml (2 fl oz) of water, allowing the mixture to boil for about 10 minutes or until golden and syrup-like.
Put the double cream, soured cream and salt in a separate pan and bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. The salt should be completely dissolved in the cream. When the sugar syrup is ready, remove it from the heat and carefully add the hot cream. It will bubble up but smooth out again quickly, becoming a creamier caramel colour. Pour the caramel into a small bowl and set it aside while you make the frosting.
To make the frosting
In a small, clean saucepan, bring the caster sugar and golden syrup to the bowl again with another 60 ml (2 fl oz) of water, again letting this boil for approximately 10 minutes or until it is golden and syrupy coloured. In a separate pan, bring the double cream to the boil. Carefully pour the hot cream into the caramel; as before, it will bubble up but will settle down again. Set this caramel aside to cool slightly.
Next add the chopped chocolate, stirring constantly while the chocolate melts. Transfer to a mixing bowl and using a hand-held electric whisk mix the frosting for about 10 minutes or until the bottom of the bowl feels cool.
Add the butter to the chocolate caramel frosting and whisk together until the mixture is light and looks slightly whipped. Place the frosting in the fridge to cool and set for 40-50 minutes while you make the layers.
To make the chocolate layers
Preheat your oven to 170C and line the bases of three 8" sandwich/cake tins with baking parchment. I baked each individually as I only have one 8" tin.
Using a freestanding electric mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand-held whisk, cream together the butter and both types of sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scrapping down the sides of the bowl.
In a jug, stir together the cocoa powder, buttermilk (you could use sour cream, natural yoghurt or add lemon juice to regular milk and allow it to curdle) and vanilla essence with 60 ml (2 fl oz) of water to form a thick paste. Sift together the remaining sponge ingredients, then add these in stages to the creamed butter, alternating with the cocoa powder paste and mixing thoroughly on a low-to-medium speed until all the ingredients are incorporated. I forgot to add the 60ml of water, instead added enough milk to make the paste a buttercream-like texture.
Divide the batter between the three prepared cake tins and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the top of each sponge feels springy to the touch. Allow the sponges to cool slightly in their tins before turning out to cool completely.
To assemble the cake, place one layer down and spread about 2 tablespoons of salty caramel on the top, smoothing it over the sponge with a palette knife. Top the caramel layer with 3-4 tablespoons of the frosting and smooth it out as before. Place your second cake on the top and repeat the process, spreading the remaining frosting over the sides of the cakes of the cake. Top with anything you like - chopped chocolate, drizzles of caramel...it's up to you!

In 2006, Thanksgiving Day topped the charts once again as the peak day for home cooking fires. According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports, there were 1,400 home structure fires involving cooking equipment that year, which is more than three times the daily average.
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Each year, hundreds of people in the United States are killed in fires that involve cooking equipment and thousands more are injured. Annually, these fires result in more than half a billion dollars in direct property damage to homes and their contents.
"Cooking fires can easily be prevented by following a few simple precautions, such as staying in the kitchen when preparing a meal because fires often start when items cooking are left unattended," said Lorraine Carli, NFPA's vice president of communications. "As much as unexpected guests are sometimes a part of the holidays, you don't want the fire department arriving because your feast is going up in flames."
NFPA offers these tips for safer cooking:
Stand by your pan
• Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food.
• If you must leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
• If you are simmering, baking, boiling or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that the stove or oven is on.
• Keep in mind that you should avoid wearing loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking. Loose clothing can catch fire if it comes in contact with a gas flame or electric burner.
No kids allowed
• Keep kids away from cooking areas by enforcing a "kid-free zone" of 3 feet (1 meter) around the stove.
• If you have young children, use the stove's back burners whenever possible, and turn pot handles inward to reduce the risk that pots with hot contents will be knocked over.
• Never hold a small child while cooking.
Keep it clean
• Keep anything that can catch fire—pot holders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging, towels or curtains—away from your stove top.
• Clean up food and grease from burners and the stove top.

Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn't believe in fashion . . . she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit -- more sparkly, more fun, more wild -- the better. But even though Lola's style is outrageous, she's a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.
When Cricket -- a gifted inventor -- steps out from his twin sister's shadow and back into Lola's life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.
I don't think it's possible for me to love any other character more than I do Anna Oliphant but Stephanie Perkins really pushed it with Lola. Lola and the Boy Next Door was a perfect companion for Anna and the French Kiss, filled with the same charm and drama and romance and general cuteness as its predecessor.
Lola is so different from Anna but I couldn't help but love her just the same. Her crazy costuming was so fun to read about but I loved that it served more purpose than just being a particular hobby of hers. Lola really is discovering who she is in this book and Stephanie Perkins totally brought it to life in a hilariously entertaining and ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE way.
Cricket, Cricket, Cricket. Be still, my heart. I use this word a lot when speaking about Stephanie Perkins and her characters but Cricket is the epitome of adorableness. I admired how shy and reserved he was because paired with Lola, the two were just - pause for dramatic effect - ADORABLE. Their relationship had me squealing and giggling until my brain just melted from the cuteness overload. BUT if you're thinking "She's making this book sound way too cutesy for me," STOP. Because it is so much more than that. Like I said above, Lola goes through a bit of an identity crisis and her downfall is a perfect dose of dramatic for the book; enough to make me feel for her but not so much that it drags the entire story to a darker tone.
And there was Anna and St. Clair! My favorites were back and they had bigger parts than I had originally thought! That is so amazing. I'm hoping Lola and Cricket play some role in Isla and the Happily Ever After!
Overall, it's a Stephanie Perkins book. What more do I need to say? Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door are perfect for not only contemporary lovers, but also for anyone who just wants to smile. I definitely recommend!

These vile creatures sometimes hunt for human meat but more often live as scavengers near burial sites and crypts. They are known by many names - blood servant, vampiric thrall, corpse stealer, grave fiend - but most resort to the vulgar term ghoul.
Every "ghoul" is affected by a vampire's blood differently. Some, although monstrous, retain a shadow of their humanity while others quickly degenerate into slathering beasts. However, regardless of their condition, these creatures are true abominations of god's order and serve no purpose whatsoever in the grand scheme of things.
Painted By: Jason (aka JET)
Thoughts & Commentary:
I had fun selecting the models that I would use for this project. As you can plainly see, I made use of dry-brushing and inking on these miniatures - there''s only so much effort I'm willing to put into a painting a ghoul. The four models used, in order from the top of the post down are:
- Westwind, Nosferatu blister pack. The knife hand is a plastic weapon swap.
- Mantic, Undead Ghoul boxed set. Built straight from a plastic sprue.
- Westwind, The Antagonists Vampire Counts/Slayers 1 blister pack. The head is a plastic Games Workshop zombie head.
- Westwind, Vampires From Across Time blister pack. Straight from the pack.
Thanks for reading,

Matt Scantland has an Uber-sized problem to solve. But he needs your help.
"No one's really talking about it, but every day we're seeing thousands of patients who aren't getting the drug they need to be healthy because this process is just too hard."
CoverMyMeds, co-founded by Scantland, set out to challenge the status quo in how insurance companies approve prescription medication. Insurance companies require prior authorization—essentially a permission slip—for medications to be given to patients. If it hasn't been pre-approved, it takes extra work from the caregivers (doctors and pharmacists) to make sure patients get the medicine they require. The cost of that extra work (calls, forms, faxes, appeals) is between $23 and $31 billion annually.
"We had really, legitimately tried to avoid the prescription abandonment problem and weren't able to get it done. We said, 'Maybe this isn't a problem that any one insurance company can solve on their own."
"From the perspective of a doctor who needs to participate in the process, our beautiful application is just one of a dozen that that doctor needs to navigate; each with their own password and workflow and everything. Let's approach this from a different angle. Let's do something that's provider centric rather than insurance plan-centric."
"[CoverMyMeds co-founder] Sam [Rajan] and I got together, and we knew we wanted to solve this massive problem … every day we're seeing thousands of patients that aren't getting the drug they need to be healthy because this process is just too hard."
"A couple of days before we started CoverMyMeds, at the time it was probably Yahoo! discussion boards, and there were hundreds of patients saying, 'Why won't they just cover my meds?' And so we registered CoverMyMeds and we got started right away."
It's a big problem with big rewards. Since its founding in 2008, CoverMyMeds has at least doubled in revenue and employee count every year.
Scantland sat down with (614) to talk about the way he identifies business problems, the tools needed to solve them, and what's next for CoverMyMeds.
"I think you're looking for problems where no one is winning. That's different than problems where someone is winning and someone is losing. Cable TV right? Cable TV companies are just fine. Why does their customer service stink? Because they have a 100 percent marketshare. It doesn't have to be better."
"Those problems are very hard to solve for someone that's just starting out. The problems that can be solved are where no one's happy. Something that I point to that most people would be familiar with is Uber. The first time I rode in an Uber, what was so remarkable wasn't just how much better the experience for me as a rider was, it was actually how much better it was to be a driver … they could have very easily said, 'Let's have an app that hails taxis.' But they didn't stop there—they solved the whole problem. They found something that no one was happy with and they solved it. To me, those are the problems that are easier.
The second criteria that you're looking for: is it a big problem? My first attempt at being a product company really never became a great company because it just wasn't a big enough problem."
"[We have] a very clear dedication to getting amazing people working at CoverMyMeds—helping them understand our mission and then getting out of their way. We decided with our consulting business we weren't going to be the best place for technical people to work because we were on this treadmill. We became a product company really explicitly to do that. We want to be the best place for ambitious people to work … ambition to take care of patients and build something amazing."
"I think it starts with a mission that matters to people. We're helping patients get the drugs they need to be healthy. At the end of the day, there are lots of big technology products. There are very few that will make that big of a difference in people's lives in terms of them being healthy. I think people believe in that mission."
"The second is that really talented people want to work with other really talented people. And so we started strong and we're getting stronger. When you come here, you see people that are excited about the mission, happy to be here and you say, 'That's the kind of room I want to be in. Those are people that I am going to learn something from.' Great people kind of set up a flywheel that tends to create more success.
"Another thing is that we've optimized the company for the employees, not for managers. There's this philosophy we have that the person that's closest to the problem knows best—not least. And so they make the decisions."
"The last piece that I think is important to being a great place to work: running the company in a way that generally demonstrates to [employees] that they're the most important thing we have going for us. And there isn't any one thing. Some day, the most evil corporations in the world will have pool tables and kegerators, like we have. That's cheap and easy to fake. What you can't fake is the thousand decisions that you make every year that collectively demonstrate that employees are the most important thing we have. It's the times when we could have crammed a decision down the company without talking to people and didn't. It's the times when we could save money by not being generous with our benefits. Eventually, people learn that we care about them."
Adverse Reactions
"There's never a perfect person for a company. There's a perfect person for a particular stage in time for the company."
"There's this learning theory where you start out as unconsciously incompetent and then consciously competent and then unconsciously competent. And what propels you through that learning cycle is awareness. While we're not always going to be good about it, what we try to do is have awareness and say we're going to be in learning mode and there's no one here that's always right, including me."
"Occasionally, people either aren't interested in becoming competent in what the role has become, and they move on. But it's actually happened pretty infrequently because the good thing about learning a new role is you're advancing through your career and learning something new and it's generally pretty fun."
The Cure
"What you get here, in terms of employees, is people that I think truly care and are willing to make a commitment to an organization's success. Our retention rate is unbelievable: For all intents and purposes, a 100 percent."
"I think a lot of times people in Columbus have a perception of what you can and can't do here. It's a negative fantasy to believe that you can't build something impressive in Columbus … there's no reason that you can't address a national market from Columbus."
I think it's impostor syndrome—this deep-seated anxiety that 'I am not good enough.' What I have learned, as I've gotten older, is that there's usually more than one right answer and there's usually not a silver bullet. You start to realize that you matter and that you can do this in Columbus or anywhere."
Follow-Up Care
"Life expectancy from 100 years ago has doubled. That's an amazing technological progress in core healthcare. What we haven't done is figure out how we're going to pay for this. How can we provide this stuff to everyone? That intersection of how we balance the trade–off between efficacy and cause is a core healthcare problem. We think we're in the driver's seat to do that for prescription medications. We have a lot of things going on that are fundamentally reimagining this so that doctors are practicing more medicine, insurance companies are paying—helping the right patient get on the right drug at the right time." •

Rich Olson has another great tutorial on how to design and make chainrings using open source software and low cost CNC.
Here is the link to original post with all the tools and scripts needed:
Rich makes a chainring for his bicycle but they have different uses in power transmission. Beside metal they can be also made on a small CNC from other materials like carbon fiber.

IrfanView is a small program developed single-handedly since 1996. Since then it has evolved into not only a photo viewer, but a full multimedia player with an immense range of features. IrfanView (the author instructs us on his homepage that it is pronounced "EarfanView") supports a multitude of file formats ranging from your standard JPEG photos to less commonly used formats such ANI (animated cursor) or DJVU (an image compression standard used often with ebooks). It also supports playback of standard video and audio files. On the IrfanView website, the author claims that IrfanView has been downloaded over 1 million times a month since 2003.
- slide 2 of 5
As of this article, IrfanView is at version 4.10. The installation file is only 1.1 megabytes and the amount of features crammed into this small package is very impressive. Some of them include adding basic paint to your images, exporting a set of images as a slideshow, converting a batch of images to any specification and renaming the output files, and even adding some effects.
I find IrfanView to be very good for whenever I need to make any quick edits to a picture. Since IrfanView is so lightweight, it loads practically instantly. Cropping is as easy as selecting an area of the image and hitting CTRL-Y, or going to Edit->Crop. You can even add effects to the entire picture or just the area you select. Some effects include blur, sepia, emboss, and "explosion" (sort of a variation on a pixelization effect). IrfanView also has your standard image correction features such as rotation, color enhancement, and resizing. You can also perform red-eye reduction and image sharpening with relative ease. In addition, IrfanView offers a plug-in architecture that allows even more functionality. Plug-ins can be downloaded separately or all together in a single package.
- slide 3 of 5
Help & Support
IrfanView has a very extensive FAQ section on the author's website. Most questions can be answered there. Beyond that, the author offers his e-mail address but recommends use of the relatively active forums which have nearly 4,000 posts in the "Support" section alone. Considering this is a free program, this level of documentation and community support is a great resource.
- slide 4 of 5
IrfanView has been over 10 years in the making and it seems to only be getting better. The author has a detailed history log that shows incremental improvement for every version he has released. For a lightweight photo manipulator, there really is nothing more that IrfanView needs. It's pretty easy to give IrfanView a 5/5.

When Maybe first appeared in a March mini-feature for Goth Girl of the Week, she was barely dry from her nearly matricidal entry into the world. Now at 8 months old, Maybe is coming into her own as a small person, a small goth-punk model and even a small Hellraiser.
Maybe has learned quickly, from Mommy and Daddy that any day can be Halloween! With collections of skulls, gargoyles and swords, pet snakes and cats, and near constant musical stimulation, home is a step or two closer to Samhain than the house next door. One afternoon of dress up fun resulted in a "gothed out" Maybe, lounging on Da-da who was wearing his Pinhead t-shirt. The resulting pictures that Mommy snapped ended up in the hands of The Engineer, and one is now featured at DougBradley.com, the official website of the legendary Hellraiser actor, who brought Pinhead to life.
In the quiet times of Maybe's mad world, stories and snacks rule. Whether it's Goodnight Moon, The Great Shark Hunt, or one of Dad's epileptic epilogues, nothing relaxes a goth girl's blue eyes like a full tummy and good spoken words.
Maybe's older brother, Zane, has been hard at work trying to teach his baby sister Tang Soo Do forms (Zane himself is a green belt). Maybe, ever pragmatic, however is focusing her energy on crawling and holding her bottle with her feet! Zane need not worry though, Maybe is a tough cutie and is teething tenaciously. She doesn't care for toys or teething rings...NO- Maybe crews and chomps on peoples fingers! This zombie like chewing began months ago, yet not one pearly white has made an appearance as of yet.
Can't walk?....Doesn't have teeth yet?...Lacking in hair?...No problem! With the true punk ethic, of "What you don't have doesn't matter", Maybe and Mommy's camera are having a ball with her blooming goth-baby modeling career.
Got your own Goth Baby? Send us some pics and we'll give her a mini-feature. Been a GGotW previously, got something new, contact us.
Want to be a GGotW? Send us your pics and a bio.

|Partners Multiple Sclerosis Center
Glatiramer (Copaxone) - Patient Information
|Brand Name
o Each syringe should only be used once and then discarded appropriately.
o You should review the Copaxone® injection patient information leaflet, which will be presented to you before you begin Copaxone" therapy and with each refill.
o You may store Copaxone" in its original blister packages and in the original carton at room temperature (59-86oF or 15-30oC), for up to 30 days.
o Acceptable sites: stomach, right and left arm, right and left thigh, right and left hip.
o In approximately 10% of patients given Copaxone" in trials, a post-injection reaction occurred, usually within minutes after injecting, and included flushing (feeling warmth and/or appearing red), chest tightness or pain with palpitations, anxiety and trouble breathing. Referred to as the Immediate Post-Injection Reaction (IPIR), symptoms lasted for only a few minutes and resolved without any treatment required. Generally, this reaction happens several months after starting the medication but may occur anytime. Most patients only have it once but it can happen several times. If you experience this after being on Copaxone" for a while, it is important to try to relax, keep your head upright, and breathe slowly. If this reaction does not go away on its own or if you have symptoms of tongue or face swelling, or experience extreme trouble breathing, seek immediate medical attention. Either way, you should contact your physician describing the experience, and do not give yourself anymore injections until your physician tells you to begin again.
o In trials, several patients experienced chest pain as a lone symptom that was not related to any other symptom as described above with the IPIR and did not necessarily occur immediately after injecting. It lasted only a few minutes and most episodes occurred after at least one month of therapy.
o Always call your refills in to your pharmacy well before you are out of medication to avoid any disruption in therapy. Most mail order pharmacies require at least a week to confirm your prescription and ship the medication.
o Always use birth control to prevent pregnancy while on this medication and speak with your physician or pharmacist before breastfeeding while on this medication.
o Contact your physician if you are or if you think you may be or if you would like to become pregnant or breastfeed an infant.

On the subject of technology...apps, apps and more apps
I love my iPad (Air 2 - gold - 128gb). I think it may arguably be one of the best purchases I've ever made - worth every penny. It keeps me connected...which is both a good and a bad thing. What I like best about it though is the world of apps it has opened up for me. Some of my favs...both new and old...are listed below. It is worth noting, all these apps are free!
Lists - I use two list apps - AnyList and Wunderlist. And both are so crucial that I've added them to my main bar for easy access. AnyList is the better and more useful of the two IMO. You can use it to create a list of anything you could ever want or need. The app has some preset categories and items for groceries which makes grocery shopping a breeze. I keep lists of things I want to buy, learn, goals, books, places I want to visit, etc. As well I can easily catalogue things I already have e.g. Essie nail polishes, for quick reference. I think this has become my fav and most used app. Wunderlist is more like a glorified to-do list which helps me track of my daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals. I could probably use AnyList as well but Wunderlist seems to be more robust for creating tasks and assigning due dates.
Meditation - I have three meditation apps. For guided meditation I prefer the Insight Timer. For basic timed meditation I prefer Calm. For just listening to nature sounds I go for Rain Rain.
Yoga - I started using Daily Yoga. It's good for the basics and perfect for really simple stretching. I think on the whole it is a bit boring as there is nothing lively about the instruction but I will likely continue using the 10-15 minute stretch routines on a regular basis.
Health - I started using TnS lite. It has the ability to track just about anything you want to input - sleep, pain, headaches, food, weight, mood, weather, coffee, water, exercise, flossing….set it up and just add in the data and you're good to go.
Social Media - yes of course Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram but my fav is Pinterest (if you can count that as social media). Pinterest is so full of great cost-saving DIY ideas and advice. I can't live without it.
If you think there are any other good free apps out there, let me know. And btw, the current LiveJournal app sucks. It doesn't offer the features I would like it to have so I inevitably I always wind up accessing LJ the old fashion way. Meh.

Melbourne, Vic, Australia
Vee Syjongtian & Josh Faragher aka Vee&Josh are a HipHop/R&B duo from Keysborough, Melbourne.
The music they write focusses on real subject matter and is created to drive, inspire, uplift and encourage their listeners. They believe the power in music can change the mood, mindset and environment and speaking a positive message in their songs could evidently bring the listener out of a negative circumstance.

One of the most common "wellness practices" at our office is a warm mug of green tea right after lunch. It's a great way to digest, beat your afternoon slump and boasts tons of other health benefits that cannot go unnoticed. It's a great energy-boosting alternative to your third cup of coffee at 2 PM, too!
More benefits of green tea below:
- High In Antioxidants: Includes the most potent antioxidant, ECGC, to protect the body
- Improves Physical Performance: Increases fat burning and boosts your metabolic rate (great pre-workout!)
- Improves Brain Function: Contains bioactive compounds known to help with memory and mental health
- Lowers Blood Pressure: Improves insulin sensitivity, helping to reduce blood sugar levels & decrease risk of diabetes
- Start with cold, fresh water that has not been previously boiled
- Heat the water just before boiling, until the temperature reaches between 160-180°F
- Steep the tea for 1-3 minutes (the longer you boil, the stronger the taste)
- Remove the leaves and ENJOY!

A cold front roared through last night: yesterday's high temperature was 72° F (22° C), a record for December 1, but it was frosty this morning. Time to get cracking on the Manly Scarf. In the Manly Scarf poll, King Charles Brocade garnered a commanding plurality, 41% as of this writing. Accordingly, I frogged the sample swatch, cast on, and started knitting away.
(The colors aren't quite right in the photo, but they're reasonably close.)
Thanks to all who participated in the poll and especially to fans of Other: Jen, who suggested seed stitch and the Guy Scarf, and Erica, who suggested man lace in the form of Hypoteneuse by Anne Hanson (see also Carole's man lace pix). It's always great to have other options.
The King Charles Brocade stitch pattern may be found in Barbara G. Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. It's one of several patterns in a beautifully knit blue silk vest (to modern eyes, a tunic) worn by King Charles I of England on the day of his execution in January 1649. (It's bloodstained.) However unsuccessful he was as a sovereign, at the end Charles showed manly style, asking for warm clothes to ward off unseemly shivering: "The season is so sharp as probably may make me shake, which some observers may imagine proceeds from fear. I would have no such imputation."
A sentiment worthy of a Manly Scarf intended to ward off bitter winter winds, not to mention the name Charles means "manly." I love it when knitting and history come together.
Meanwhile, Yolanda asked if I've been spinning. Well, I've spun up almost all the hairy Blue Face Leicester from the inferior vendor who shall not be named. The resulting 3-ply is lustrous and wiry and I hope will be hard-wearing. There should be about 250 yards (228 m) of yarn from 4 ounces (113 g) hairy fiber when all is plied up.
I finished the yarn using the simmer method described in Spinning in the Old Way by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts. It's more involved, but does seem to set the twist more effectively than blocking yarn with weights.
Also, I've been rolling thrums from the Kool-Aid dyed fiber. The process makes my wrists tingle after only a few – I'm being very careful not to over-do.
DH, bless him, has taken to singing improvised holiday lyrics: "Thrum, they told me, pa thrum-thrum-thrum-thrum!"

His scarf is looking great, too!

The hairy Blue Face Leicester and the thrums are for thrummed mittens to wear for winter bicycling, snow shoveling, etc. Seems like the best use for the BFL and a pretty good use for the Kool-Aid dyed fiber.
