Next up on the tour, our dining room:
DINING ROOM: 1. Rug // 2. Lighting // 3. Antler Candleholders // 4. R & R Print // 5. Large Painting // 6. Desk // 7. Sheepskin // 8. Fox Print // 9. Mirrored Jewelry Box // 10. Sabertooth Skull (spray painted gold)
This space has gone through MANY changes since we first moved in. The white built-in was a great feature, but did control the design of the room. The original paint color was the same neutral that you see in the living room, but we wanted a darker hue to really highlight the architecture. We were a little nervous going so dark in such a large room, but once the paint dried... we were obsessed. [OKAY... I was nervous. Tim was the genius behind the operation. As usual.]
For layout, we first had the table pushed against the window. It really felt too crowded, but we weren't sure where else to move it. Once we installed the light fixture, it was a no brainer to center the table underneath. It was literally one of those "OH my gosh, how have we been so stupid this WHOLE time??" moments. They happen a lot. As for my desk? It's been in every possible space in here. I'm pleased to say it still resides in the window [where I'm typing right now]!
In the first picture, you can sort of see the closet doors on the left. That space used to be for a Murphy bed. It is HUGE and such a relief- as San Francisco apartments are known to have the SMALLEST closets ever. It was for sure a selling point when we looked at the place. Currently, it's jam packed with our extra bedding, winter coats, a broken vacuum, and Christmas decorations that I need to dig out. Big closets are seriously the greatest luxury. Of course, in typical Tim//Kelli fashion- a few decor pieces have shifted around. But in general- this is our dining space and I adore it.
Check back tomorrow as we move to the next room in the house. :)

Love this space, the dark walls truly make everything pop. Looks like an inspiring space to write too!ReplyDelete
I love how this space looks! The contrast of light and dark really make it so visually stunning. Cozy and yet elegant for all kinds of parties! It's the perfect compliment to the living room that you shared too!ReplyDelete
This is great. I love how you have decorated your home! You make me want to completely redo my apartment, lol.ReplyDelete

I think the quote from Zoolander is something like, Derek to Matilda: "You can't just come in here, demanding sex and then changing your mind, telling someone they've been at a day spa for a week…."
That's how I feel, after returning from my first Book Expo America and my second YA Day at Klindt's Bookstore in The Dalles, Oregon. Not the demanding sex part. Or the changing my mind part. But like I've been at a day spa for a week. Invigorated. Refreshed. Jelly-legged. With a sort of warped sense of what time and day it is.
Book Expo was terrific. Only there for a blink of an eye, but long enough to be wowed by librarians at a librarian's dinner, blown away by the kindness of people who stood around in a long line for me to sign just one copy of ANTIGODDESS, (wish I could have talked to each one much longer), have a few too-short visits with my publicist and great editors at Tor (my editor, Mel, was struck down by strep throat. Felt terrible for her. Strep throat sucks like a sucker.)
For everyone who has asked about Anna Dressed in Blood movie news, I don't have any. I did meet with Meghan Hibbett, who runs Fickle Fish Films with Stephenie Meyer. It was way cool, and she is way fun, and such a fan of the book that she went as Anna for Halloween last year. The wait for the movie will be long, but I have no doubt it is in good hands. I mean come on, she likes Game of Thrones and Fringe. She told me stories about reading Anna at the same time as Stephenie, and I listened and thought, "this is a person who is enthusiastic enough about Anna Dressed in Blood that she wants to create it again in another medium." It was a brief walk in crazy weirdsville.
Then it was off to YA Day at fabulous Klindt's bookstore in The Dalles. I love that store. Now, back home, ready to get back to work. It's time.
In the upcoming weeks, I hope to have stops nailed down for the ANTIGODDESS tour this September. It's strange, getting ready for this new thing. Getting ready to talk about Cassandra and Athena. I love them both for different reasons. One day when there's more time, maybe I'll write about why. I certainly hope I can think of something to say to anyone kind enough to come out for a tour stop, or there will be just a lot of improvised dance.
You don't want to see my improvised dance.

My Review of Booktype Pro
The more I learn about self-publishing the more I'm realizing how late to the game I am. There is already a thriving industry built by companies all too eager to take your money, promising a fast-track to self-publishing super-stardom in return.
Booktype is a little different than most. For starters, it's free. It's also a good idea. In the company's own words:
Booktype is a free, open source platform that produces beautiful, engaging books formatted for print, Amazon, iBooks and almost any ereader within minutes. Create books on your own or with others via an easy-to-use web interface. Build a community around your content with social tools and use the reach of mobile, tablet and ebook technology to engage new audiences.
TL;DR Think of it as WordPress for books.
In addition to the server-side software there is also a hosted version of Booktype called Booktype Pro. It has a free version (one book) and a paid one (more than one book). The Booktype folks were nice enough to offer me a preview of the service.
Unfortunately I had some significant issues with Booktype…
1. Importation
The first thing I set out to do with the service was import my book.
As you already know, I've been writing the first draft in public on this blog, posting chapters as I go. I've also been saving my work as a LibreOffice text document. I figured that getting my book onto Booktype would be a trivial matter; turns out I was wrong.
From Booktype's own support pages, the following file formats can be imported:
- Archive.org
- Booktype Book
Hmm… one of Booktype's selling points is that it can create EPUBs — if I already had an EPUB why would I need the service in the first place? Also, why would any author want to import someone else's Public Domain book? And if I'm a new Booktype user, how could I possibly already have something in Booktype format to import?
Sure, I can copy and paste chapters manually. But I don't really see why I should have to.
2. Presentation
What's that old saying… You never get a second chance to make a first impression? Here's the first impression you get from my Booktype site:
I don't know about you, but this doesn't exactly scream "user-friendly" to me.
My book's info page looks slightly better, but I think Booktype needs to make things much more clear to someone visiting for the first time. Granted, there's an invitation front and centre on the splash page for a visitor to sign up — just like Facebook, Twitter, etc. But very much unlike those other sites there is zero explanation of what Booktype actually is.
3. Collaboration
Honestly, I didn't even get this far. I'm sure Booktype is a competent collaborative tool for a pre-existing team of writers and editors working on a specific project. But after watching the introductory video I was expecting something entirely different — a social network for wannabe authors. I think Sourcefabric has missed a big opportunity with Booktype, and I'm sorry to say that my trial of the service ends here.
Had I started writing with Booktype from the get-go things might have been different, but since I would still need a more traditional website to promote my book I see no reason to switch from the WordPress-based workflow I've used thus far. For output to EPUB and other formats there's already an excellent client-side software solution called Calibre. And powerful as Booktype may be, it's not at all user friendly in the way that other social networks are. Oftentimes it's hard enough getting readers to comment on blogs — why would anyone create an account on my Booktype site if there's no clear explanation of what's going on?
The hosted version of Booktype has yet to see an official launch; though I don't expect it to be rewritten from scratch based on my complaints here, I might humbly suggest that there's an untapped market for a more user-friendly version of the product — "Booktype Social", maybe?
If you wanted to try Booktype Pro for yourself you can sign up for this newsletter and keep track of its progress. Even if its current iteration doesn't meet my needs it might well fit yours…

hey Mydrim! glad to see you back! a fine start on this new SB.

kingostas: thanks. I remember you from one online sketcher session times ago, drawing a little bug giving flower to my big monster bug
bhanu: Thank you. I sure will visit India some day and I'll call you before so you can gather the best lesbian strapon dildo collection to watch together!
Mischeviouslittleelf: Thank you too. I am almost sure you haven't ment "other Norwegian" that way, but for any case: Slovakia is not in Norway
Flaskpost: Thanks!
Now I got just some creatures. Mostly rough because I suddenly got bored and left it
I know i also remember you from sketcher !!!And i liked your works back then as i do now I also found Shou from sketcher, damn i miss it
see ya mate!!!keep up
Very cool
Great to see you have come back. I like the surealism of the Radio/CD cover
Wonderfull stuff. rally. my favourite is the game screen. Never thought someone could come up with such idea. like it!
btw: I imagine you as the little lyra who you have in your profile photo.
P.S. seems you are czech too
i love how you played with value on these creature sketches! great!
kingkostas: So is the Sketcher definetely dead? Hope not, or we should find another room and make a session, it was fun
DeathChalupa: Thanks!
Whitevillage: Thank you. In some slavic countries the traditional christmas food is carp. They are used to buy live and then put in bath for a day before christmas eve. I think that's pretty much torturing the animals with the transport in sacks through town and low quality caption and so.. Well I don't do it, nor my family. I just put in in the cd cover as an other look on Christmas, little of sad and creepy (at least to me the whole carp thing is very creepy). Also I think it fits the radio, as it's the only non-mainstream radio you can hear in Slovakia.
Well just wanted to say the carps in bath are not totally random surreal.
Brun: Thank you, I'll try to keep posting
Kalim: Thank you. P.S. Almost
Flaskpost: Thanks. I think values are not the strongest I got, but hope it's getting better.

"Very nice and of quality"
Style of the 50s and 60s
The furniture style took a great boom because of modernity and the decorative style of the 50s and 60s which is still used today. During this period of time many technics, production forms and revolutionary creations developed. People separated more and more from the classic furnishing style and therefore functional and adjustable furniture became more popular.
The selection of PIB
Since 2010 PIB works together with suppliers with verified product quality. After sorting out the best products all of them fulfill our criteria's: Style, quality and timelessness. We observe the newest trends so that our style of decoration is always up to date. We combine the newest trends with the flair of the 20th century which makes our products timeless. Only suppliers which fulfill the criteria of style, esthetic and quality are being used for the production of our products.

Weather of Mumbai has remained mild this season. Both the minimum and maximum temperatures have stayed above or close to their normal levels. But today, people in Mumbai woke up to a shivering morning as the minimums recorded early morning was the lowest of the season.
As per the Santa Cruz Observatory, from past two days, the minimum temperature of the commercial capital of the country has remained under 15°C. Mumbai shivered in 13.6°C on Tuesday however, minimums plummeted today as well.
The Santa Cruz observatory recorded the minimums settling at 12.5°C today early morning. This is basically 4 degrees down than the normal for the area. Dahanu also observed minimum temperature at 14.1°C which is 3 degrees below the normal for the area.
From past few days, North Konkan region along with coastal Mumbai has been witnessing northerly and northeasterly dry and cool winds. This is primarily the reason the city has been observing cool weather conditions.
However, as per Skymet Weather, a trough is expected to develop after 24 hours over the area. So, Mumbai is expected to witness very cool mornings for another 24 hours. Thereafter, the temperature is expected to rise marginally.
Hence, in a nutshell, it can be concluded that Mumbai has witnessed a glimpse of one of the coldest morning today. But the weather is again expected to get back to warm and less shivery 24 hours hence.

Limerick shopping centre wins Supreme Court case over €309k rent
THE COMPANY in charge of the Crescent Shopping Centre has won its case at the Supreme Court, to charge one of their tenants rent of €309,500 a year.
In a long running case, which was previously taken to the High Court the dispute centres over the terms of its 25 year lease to Carraig Donn, which commenced in 2001.
The Supreme Court, in its judgment handed down, noted that "the background to these proceedings is the difficulty faced by many tenants, at the height of the financial crisis, in paying the rent due under leases, where that rent that been fixed at the height of the boom."
"In common with many such cases an attempt was made by the parties to these proceedings to negotiate a temporary reduction in rent," stated Mr Justice Clarke.
Under the terms of the lease in 2001 it was agreed that an annual rent of £120,00 would be paid subject to a rent review every five years for the duration of the term.
On that basis, on September 7, 2006, a rent review was conducted with the annual rent being set at €309,500 thereafter.
Carraig Donn succeeded in the High Court in 2010, and at the Circuit Court was granted a new lease under the 1980 Act, with an annual rent set at €230,000. But Stapleyside argued that the High Court incorrectly concluded that the lease in question had been terminated.
In early 2009, Carraig Donn encountered some financial difficulties and contacted Stapleyside with a view to negotiating a reduction in rent. Stapleyside sent an email to Carraig Donn in April 2009, communicating two options for a reduction.
While there was no formal written acceptance of either option, a cheque for €207,365 - or 67% of the full 2009 rent - was sent to the company, under the second option set out. A month later, the company emailed a written contract to Carraig Donn to formalise their position, but neither party signed that contract.
In November of that year, Stapleyside sent Carraig Donn a notice of termination, stating that it was their intention to terminate the lease on February 16, 2010.
In conclusion, Mr Justice Clarke said he was satisfied that the lease remains in existence, and it follows that Carraig Donn should pay rent to the value of €309,500.
"It likewise follows that, the lease not having terminated at all, there could have been no question of a valid application to the Circuit Court for a new lease under the terms of the 1980 Act."
The directors of Stapleyside are its manager John Davitt, and Conor and Kevin Kenny, each of whom are also directors of its parent company Clancourt.
According to the REI Shopping Centre Review 2015, the Crescent's profitability status was listed as the sixth highest in the country.

59 fighting roosters to be euthanized
Published 12:02 am, Friday, July 22, 2011
SAN ANTONIO - Nearly five dozen roosters seized after San Antonio police stormed an alleged cockfight last week will be euthanized, officials said.
But the 59 birds still are considered evidence in ongoing criminal cases, and won't be put down until the cases are resolved, said J.A. Flores, animal cruelty specialist with Animal Care Services.
The birds have been in ACS custody since July 10 and were evaluated to determine each bird's ability to readjust for possible adoption. Because of how their owners trained them, they can't be rehabilitated, he said.
"Unfortunately there is no assurance that these birds will not end up fighting again," Flores said.
They will eventually be put down by lethal injection, he said.
Officers cited 13 people at the alleged cockfight, but a man who wasn't there, Victor Cordova, sought the return of three of the roosters, saying his brother brought them to the event to swap them, not fight them. A judge turned him down Tuesday and ordered him to pay $330 to ACS to help cover the cost of housing and caring for his birds.
San Antonio taxpayers, however, will foot the bill for the other 56.

Building a successful small business website takes more than a stellar product or excellent writing on your blog. You need a comprehensive marketing plan that pulls in traffic from multiple sources. The latest shake up over Facebook diverting traffic away from its pages, which is where many small businesses have camped out, drives home the importance of a marketing plan that can reach a variety of readers in several different ways.
Here are some simple ways to diversify your website traffic:
Search Engines for Website Traffic
Even though social media is the focus of many marketing seminars, don't forget to optimize your posts with keywords and compelling titles that match what your customers are entering into search engines. Study the keywords in your industry and answer the questions that people are actually asking. Even using Google's auto-complete for searches will give you a good idea of what people want to know about your industry.
Local Promotions for Your Website
Don't rule out local advertising opportunities. Sometimes a print ad, local website ad, place mat in a diner, bulletin board, or other location around your town can work great for driving new customers to your website. If your website name is memorable and potential customers will see the ad, it could work to include a coupon code that will allow you to track your ad's effectiveness.
In addition, producing flyers, brochures, or cards can make it possible to give customers a simple way to remember you and your business.
Popular Niche Websites
The most effective way to draw new readers to your website is by finding popular websites in your niche where they hang out and read articles. You can run ads, offer product giveaways, or write guest posts in order to reach these readers more effectively. The power of online marketing is that you can find hubs where people are naturally hanging out and target those people effectively. You may need to try a few different tactics before you find something that works, but you don't have to worry about whether you've put your content in front of the right people.
Secondary Niche Websites
There may be a small local paper that runs a website or an alternative news site that could be interested in a feature story about your business or products. Don't just look at your existing network. Consider ways you can cross over to a new niche and catch the attention of customers who may never have considered your company before.
Pinterest Marketing
If your niche fits Pinterest, then you shouldn't overlook the power of being engaged on it for a limited time, repinning a few things each day. While you don't want to stretch yourself thin by taking on too much, the same principle holds true: go to where your customers are. If you need more website traffic, there are many website owners who claim they get plenty of traffic from Pinterest.
Network with Influential Bloggers
That LinkedIn account you have doesn't have to languish in obscurity. You can use less popular social media tools like LinkedIn or GooglePlus to reach influential people in your niche who may be flooded with email but only have a few messages on LinkedIn that are worth reading. Find ways to stand out from the crowd by reaching out to the influencers in your niche and getting your business in front of them.

Motorists left out of pocket due to Volkswagen's "disgraceful" emissions scandal should be compensated, Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin has hinted.
Mr McLoughlin was speaking during a Westminster session in the wake of the VW crisis which saw it exposed for rigging emissions tests.
He pledged to persuade VW to honour its promise to repair all affected cars before the end of next year.
DUP MP Jim Shannon wanted to know if Audi and VW should bear the burden of any loss on resale values as a result of the scandal. More than one million motors in Britain have been impacted by VW's deception.
Mr McLoughlin told the Strangford MP that the carmaking giant may eventually have to address the matter.
The RAC is among the motoring organisations calling for stricter emissions testing . It looks as if this has hit home, with the European Commission this week announcing tighter standards from September 2017.
The Transport Secretary's pledge to pressurise VW into action followed a question from Halifax Labour MP Holly Lynch.
She said that the managing director of VW's British arm has cast doubts on whether its repair promise might be achievable in the time scale outlined. Ms Lynch asked what steps Mr McLoughlin is taking to ensure this pledge is carried out.
He replied that the Government is acting to ensure that VW meets its deadlines following its "disgraceful" behaviour.
Earlier this month Mr McLoughlin pledged that VW owners in the EU will not lose out financially if their vehicles contain the illegal, emissions test-cheating software.
Road tax is fixed dependent on a car's CO2 emission rates. But he said that these motorists will not have to pay any extra because their cars are more polluting than originally thought through no fault of their own.

Col. Bruce & the Quark Alliance
O'Neal Plaza
Douglasville, Georgia
September 13, 2008
Nice night, good crowd; that was the feeling you got when you made your way through the small sea of people at the O'Neal Plaza. Col. Bruce & the Quark Alliance set the stage for a great night of music and enjoyed a warm welcome from all of those taking in the charming downtown district of Douglasville.
Despite a few technical difficulties, they started the night out with a tight "Mojo", then headed straight into "No Egos Under Water." However, it wasn't until the middle of "Spoonful" that the band seemed to work out all the nasty bugs. Once they got the sound where it needed to be, "Time Flack & Compared to What" grabbed everyone's attention.
The young and old alike danced and took in the energy the Col. Bruce & the Quark Alliance threw out. Kris Dale, named the #3 Bass Guitarist in this month's Bass Magazine, controlled the down beat, and was as much fun to watch as he was to hear. His vibe was compelling and his style was nothing short of funky.
Dale and the Colonel joked around after every song and seemed to have some kind of running joke going on. If there was anyone not pulled into the music by now, "Arkansas Canonbas" was their answer. The nice, ethereal blues/jazz jam with a moving conversation in the middle between Kris Dale & Perry Osborn (lead guitar & FSU professor) captivated any and everyone within hearing distance.
Around 8:15 "Planet Earth" summoned the praise of the day and night people alike, and it was clear that church had started early that weekend.
The energy of the night continued to build, and even a broken string during "Fixin to Die" didn't faze the Quark Alliance's drummer, Mark Letalien. He locked in with the fat bass run while Col. Bruce continued to toy with the crowd, who played his tribal carved Gibson behind his head and held his guitar by the neck while summoning Zambi from the depths of its' belly, and all the while, Perry had his string fixed in two minutes flat. The show came to a close with everyone chanting "Get rid of sorrow, Have a better day!"
It was a night of pure music satisfaction.

From January 9th to January 15th GameStop is running a buy one get one half off promotion on all Wii U games from Ubisoft. The games included are: ZombiU Assassin's Creed III Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth ESPN Sports Connection Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 Just Dance 4 Rabbids Land Let us know which Ubisoft titles you'll be picking up. local_offer Nintendo wii u wii u games stars Further Reading Nintendo loses patent appeal, ordered to pay Nintendo was brainstorming about Switch when Justis Bistawros That is a great bargain i would probably buy assassins creed 3 and the avengers battle for earth since i would get it for half off. bizzy gie I'd get ZombiU and Assassin's Creed 3. I love how Nintendo is finally working with more 3rd parties and ESPECIALLY more hardcore first parties for the more hardcore Nintendo fan. I'm glad a hardcore Nintendo fan can even exist now. Glad to see Nintendo advancing. Noteak F.Y.I. I am beating wiiudaily to the punch by saying a demo for Zobiu on the Wii u bizzy gie Cool! Can't wait to test this out! I remember it as if yesterday when Resident Evil took the pleasure in being the first ever demo on the eShop. Being a later Nintendo fan, I'm glad I can still take part in Nintendo milestones. I said it once, I'll say it again: Super glad to see Nintendo advancing!! Even "gladder" I can be apart of it! Marcel Kleine this is why i hate living in the netherlands, nintendo doesn't do anything around here and the shops never have actions like these -.- Sylux So true -.- we have other Nice deals but none as great as these 🙁 such a fail from Nintendo Benelux/Europe. Sometimes I think Nintendo hates Europe, the only luck we had was on the 3 jrpg's Xenoblade Chronicles, Last Story and Pandora's Tower. That are the only 3 good things from Nintendo Europe in treating their fans great for once… Clem I hear that Australia is the worst for that… Lucky for me I live in Canada where we get mostly the same treatments as the U.S. (minus some deals and promos like this), but my heart goes out to all the other regions 🙁 Ford Crews They are dumping them here because our short bus president has our economy so in the tank, nobody but welfare bums and dope addicts has money to buy games at full price.

It has become an unavoidable part of any conversation about Bruce Boudreau, sometime after acknowledging he was voted coach of the year for turning around the Washington Capitals in 2007-08, won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's top team with them in 2009-10, and guided the Ducks to three straight Pacific division titles after he headed west.
In six tries — four with the Capitals and two with the Ducks — Boudreau hasn't gotten past the second round of the playoffs. There's no way to tiptoe around it. There are reasons and unhappy circumstances, good reasons in most cases.
In 2009-10 the Capitals chased Montreal's Carey Price in Game 4 of their first-round series but replacement Jaroslav Halak became a wall. Washington lost a 3-1 series lead and lost in seven. "We couldn't get a pea behind him," Boudreau said. In 2010-11 the Capitals beat the New York Rangers in the first round but lost three defensemen to injuries and then were swept by Tampa Bay. "That was the only time in the playoffs that I've been in, that there was any sort of negative playoff experience," Boudreau said.
He has coached the Ducks in a seven-game loss to Detroit in 2013, and a sluggish six-game victory over Dallas and a seven-game loss to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Kings last spring. Another inexplicably early playoff exit by the No. 1-seeded Ducks, who will face the No. 8 Winnipeg Jets starting Thursday at Honda Center, could trigger changes in Boudreau's job status and beyond.
"This is our third year with this group making the playoffs where there's some sort of expectations. I am going to watch very carefully not only the coaching staff, but how certain players play in the playoffs this year," General Manager Bob Murray told The Times Wednesday. "This is the third year and it's time.
"It's not just Bruce. The guys that have been here, it's time for some of them to step to the plate. I'm watching everybody. There's guys that haven't had good playoffs. It's time. They've got experience now. They've been there. It's time to step up."
The Ducks' last two playoff exits aren't Boudreau's fault alone; his reliance on quickly overwhelmed rookie goaltender John Gibson last spring, he said, wasn't solely his decision. But he can change the narrative now by taking a talented team deep into the playoffs in a season where there's no prohibitive Cup favorite.
Boudreau has some formidable tools. The Ducks' acquisition of standout two-way center Ryan Kesler last summer enables them to match up well against anyone and takes pressure off Ryan Getzlaf. Murray took a risk by revamping his defense just before the trade deadline, but it would have been a greater risk not to. Noting the current success of speedy teams, Murray added speed that allows the Ducks to compete whether the game is fast or physical. The Jets will push them on both fronts and they must react smartly.
"I feel pressure every time we get in the playoffs, quite frankly, because when you get in the playoffs you have to have the belief that you can win. And if you don't, there's usually ramifications on that," Boudreau said. "It's a tough business. But this is the best time of year."
He is aware of the blotch on his resume but won't let it define him. "I know, but I don't play the game," he said. "I think as a coaching staff we put a pretty good game plan together. But there's a lot of little factors that go into winning and losing.
"They can look at the minor leagues. I've won a couple of championships and in the seventh game too. So, I mean, it's weird. I don't have an answer for it. And if I worry about it, then it will affect the way you coach and I don't want it to do that."
Indications are he has players' support.
"You could look up and down the league and name a hundred coaches that have never even done close to what Bruce has done. So, Bruce is a good coach. He's done good things for us," Getzlaf said. "He's enabled us to put in a good game plan, those kinds of things, and now it's about execution. We've got to do it as a group. It's not on him. He's not going to win or lose us the playoffs, I'll tell you that much."
Forward Kyle Palmieri credited Boudreau for bringing out the best in everyone, not just top-tier players like Getzlaf and Corey Perry.
"He gets a lot out of guys. He puts guys in situations that give them an opportunity to succeed, and that's why you see so much success," Palmieri said.
"You look at his playoff record, you notice that the second round has been where it's at. But it's nothing that you say it's him or it's a curse or anything like that. I think everyone who has watched the playoffs, and I've watched the playoffs since I started getting into hockey, you realize it's something that you never know what's going to happen."
True enough. But this much is clear: Merely reaching the second round of the playoffs won't be enough to change the conversation about Boudreau or the Ducks.

Brazil coach Mano Menezes says Neymar needs to play to Europe to gain more experience and improve as a player.
In an interview with the daily O Globo on Sunday, Menezes said a move to Europe would help Neymar "develop" his game and allow him to gain more "respect."
"In relation to his environment, to feeling at home, it's good that he is staying," Menezes said. "But for a complete development, to gain more respect, it's important that he goes to Europe."
Menezes said that in Brazil, being close to home and his fans, Neymar gets too much attention and is required to do a lot more than he would if he were in Europe, which ends up hurting him in some areas.
"Being there, he won't be as exposed," Menezes said. "Staying in Brazil demands contracts that take a lot of his time. We see that he is exposed. You need to execute three things in order to be well: train, eat and rest."
Neymar's club Santos wasn't happy with Menezes' comments and responded by saying that the coach should praise the player for wanting to stay in Brazil despite many offers from top European clubs.
"A comment like that, coming from the coach of the Brazilian national team, is regrettable," Santos vice-president Odilio Rodrigues Filho told local media. "It's the same thing to say that someone needs to coach an European club before coaching the national team, which is not true."
Menezes never coached outside Brazil before being picked to lead the national team. He was the second choice at the time, after Muricy Ramalho turned down an offer from the Brazilian federation because of club commitments.
Last year, Neymar agreed to a contract that ties him to Santos until the South American country hosts the 2014 World Cup. At the time there were widespread rumours of a possible move to Real Madrid or Barcelona. He said he believed he would be the happiest by being closer to friends and relatives in Brazil.
Santos were highly praised by fans and local media for rejecting the multimillion dollar offers from European clubs.
The 20-year-old Neymar, who already is a father, is one of Brazil's most promising stars and is widely expected to lead the Brazilian national team when it hosts the World Cup in two years.
Menezes also said a good performance by Brazil at the Olympics in London will be important to give the team confidence ahead of the World Cup and next year's Confederations Cup.
"These players really need a good performance to come out invigorated," Menezes said. "The coach is included in that context. You have an idea, and if it doesn't bring victories, you feel it."
In the interview, the coach also defended two-time FIFA player of the year Ronaldinho, who has been summoned to the Brazilian squad despite poor performances with Flamengo. On Sunday, Ronaldinho scored a goal but was sent off in the first half of the team's 2-0 win over rival Fluminense in the Rio Cup, the first stage of the Rio de Janeiro state championship.
Menezes said it's important that Ronaldinho "keeps trying to improve."

Woman heard scream where cops believe UNH student slain
Credit: Stuart Cahill
DOVER, N.H. — A neighbor at the apartment complex where authorities say a 29-year-old man strangled 19-year-old University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth Marriott said she's haunted by echoes of a blood-curdling scream she heard the alleged night of the senseless killing.
"It's been emotional, wondering, 'Was it her?' " said the woman, who has lived in the Sawyer Mill Apartments complex since August and refused to give her name. "I've been sad. I feel a little withdrawn. I don't know what to think."
"The thought of being so close to a violent crime and not realizing what it was, I just feel for that young girl's family and I hope they find her soon so they can get some closure."
She said she did not call police immediately but volunteered the information to detectives Sunday — the day after authorities filed a second-degree murder charge against Seth Mazzaglia, a local actor and martial arts instructor. He has not entered a plea and was ordered held without bail at his arraignment Monday.
"When I realized what was going on, I felt I had a duty to tell," she said. "I'm a mom. I have girls. Just the thought of it, it's a shocking thing."
Marriott's body has not been recovered. An intensive water search off Portsmouth has turned up nothing, and authorities here have asked their colleagues in coastal Maine and Massachusetts to keep watch.
New Hampshire Attorney General Jane Young said prosecutors will not confirm or deny reports that another person was present when Marriott, who grew up in Westboro, Mass., was killed. Dover police forwarded all questions to the attorney general.
A woman who answered the phone at a number listed to Mazzaglia in Portsmouth said, "We respectfully decline to comment."

Update from Tim
So, 50 boxes of 'stuff' has just arrived at mine. Just peeked and apart from dust they seem to be filled with what looks like films, photographs, memorabilia. They go by the year. Hm. Can't wait to get cracking, though might take me a while. I can feel Christmas is nearly here.— Tim Pope (@timpopedirector) December 10, 2017

I'll cut the cryptic crap soon, certainly before Christmas, but wanted to hint a little bit about next year's plans on The Cure project because I am excited! Be great to work with my old chums, as we go so far back. Going to be a bumper year for the 40th anniversary!— Tim Pope (@timpopedirector) December 3, 2017

And now Tim adds fuel to the fire...
Keep it quiet, but a few BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING SOON! Mum's the word, OK? Shh!— Tim Pope (@timpopedirector) November 29, 2017
As with Lol, and in fairness to Tim, he didn't say this was Cure related. He also has other projects he's working on. But you can't blame any of us for thinking what we're all thinking. :)
Update (Dec. 1st. 2017): Tim now confirms that one of his projects IS Cure related!
Being the kind-hearted person I am, I can confirm one of my upcoming projects next year is with The Cure with whom I have worked since 1981. This will be with the full participation of Robert. Updates when I can, but suffice to say it will be a 40th anniversary project.— Tim Pope (@timpopedirector) December 1, 2017
Oh, just to add, all guesses so far are wrong, to put the proverbial 'Lovecat' in amongst the pigeons. Me lips are sealed further at this point. Watch this space.— Tim Pope (@timpopedirector) December 1, 2017
No one has guessed it until now...From executive producer Roger O'Donnell, a story 40 years in the making, Tim Pope's 'Crawley was Ours', the story of The Cure! :)
Note: The above was a joke! Based on Roger being the executive producer of 'England is Mine'. I thought that went without explaining, but apparently not. Only a joke guess, not at all true!

Lol clarifies his 'Wild Ideas' post
So, just to make it clear when I said some wild ideas are happening next year I was referring to my own projects. I'm sorry if I helped sow any confusion it was not my intention.As to 40th-anniversary stuff? It would be nice but so far Robert and I have not talked about that.— Lol Tolhurst (@LolTolhurst) December 1, 2017

From Dazed: How a heartfelt email to frontman Robert Smith turned into a new capsule collection
"I started listening to everything I could get my hands on," says Brendon Babenzien. The designer is describing how he became obsessed with The Cure after an older, cooler friend – as is always the case – played a song for him at a house party in 1984. The moment converted an impressionable Babenzien into a lifelong fan. Now, through his New York menswear label Noah, he has collaborated with the English band on a capsule collection, set to release in-store and online at Noah NYC and Tokyo as well as at London's Dover Street Market this Thursday.
"As soon as I was calling the shots in my own company, it was really the first music collaboration I could think of that would really make me happy, that I could be really proud of," the designer says of the collaboration, which sees a host of Noah staples, such as graphic t-shirts, hoodies and Harringtons emblazoned with versions of The Cure's iconic cover art. "What I knew of Robert Smith, historically, I would have guessed that he would say no to something like this. So I wrote this heartfelt email, kind of explaining who I was and why this would be important to me – assuring him that we would do our best to do the right thing with it and it wasn't going to be this huge commercial project." To Babenzien's surprise, Smith quickly got on board. "We also wanted to expose a younger audience to the band – anyone who hasn't listened to their music before, we're hoping that this will bring them to it a little more."
Babenzien grew up in East Islip, a picturesque but nondescript town somewhere between Montauk and the Hamptons. Aesthetically different but similar in feeling to Crawley – the town in West Sussex that gave birth to The Cure – it inspired the same sense of angst-meets-ennui in Babenzien that was a hallmark of the British outfit's early work. "Where I grew up, it's beautiful and I love it now as an adult," he says. "But when you're a kid it just feels mundane because you can't access any of the things that interest you. The small group of people that I was friends with that felt out of place where we were from, the music just kind of made sense to us."
Through an outsider mentality and rigorous aesthetic approach, The Cure's Robert Smith tapped into that, creating work that both captured and transcended the bleak banality of British suburbia to resonate with pretty much any teenager in a pre-internet era who felt disconnected or different. Babenzien was one of them, and that love of the band has stayed with him in the years that have passed since.

Robert Smith responds to fans about death, dreams & his tombstone in 'The Cure News'
"Cure vocalist Robert Smith was 28 when he started answering questions from his fans in the band's series of newsletters The Cure News which published its first issue in 1987. During its run, Smith replied to hand-written inquiries sent in about his mythical hair and his aversion to flying—all while slyly avoiding answering a request for his home address. In later newsletters, Smith lets loose on The Smiths/Morrissey and rarely avoids answering intimate questions from fans which run the gamut from amusing to stalker-level weirdness. The vintage Q&As also chronicle Smith's commentary as it relates to his relationship with his childhood pal, Cure drummer and keyboardist Lol Tolhurst until Lol's departure from The Cure in 1989.
I combed through every newsletter put out between 1987 to 1991 in search of Smith's most quotable-quotes—which, I must say, was a shit-ton of fun. I've posted loads of Smith's answers to his fans queries below in the order of their chronological appearance in the various newsletters. I've left his answers just as he wrote them, without capitalization and British spellings which in some cases makes them all the more endearing. So without further delay, here's Robert Smith being very Robert Smith-y while he responds to his fans."

Josh Cheon from Dark Entries on The Cure
From Resident Advisor:
Label of the month: Dark Entries
"But if luck is the intersection of preparation and opportunity, Cheon's been laying groundwork for such discoveries his whole life. In the backroom at RS94109, we speak about his undying love for the dark, romantic '80s music that forms the backbone of his label's aesthetic.
"I didn't have the happiest teenage years," he says. "I was overweight, I was made fun of, I was gay and in the closet. I had girlfriends that were into goth music music and The Cure—I think hearing that when I was 15—it's angsty, it's sad, it's emotive, and I was all of these things. If you hear Robert Smith singing about Disintegration or Pornography and how it doesn't matter if we all die, it's like, 'This like a rallying call for what's going on inside my head.'"

Siouxsie Sioux and Robert Smith
Siouxsie and The Banshees were one of the first post-punk bands to make it big, forming in 1976, already releasing their second album Join Hands in September of 1979.
During the tour for said album however, the Banshees' guitarist John McKay and drummer Kenny Morris (both now referred to as The Blackheads) quit the group, leaving founders Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin scrambling to find replacements for the tour.
Slits percussionist Peter Edward Clarke aka Budgie was recruited on drums, becoming a permanent member of the band—but Severin and Sioux still had a hard time enlisting a guitarist.
Robert Smith of The Cure decided to offer his services as his group were already the support band on tour in support of Join Hands.
After the tour, Robert returned to full time duties with his own band, and Sioux and Severin then had a proper audition, and Sioux and Severin recruited Magazine and Visage guitarist John McGeoch to join the band, which was the perfect arrangement until the departure of John McGeoch from the Banshees after suffering a nervous breakdown at a gig in Madrid.
Robert Smith was recruited a second time into Wonderland to join his hand on guitar as a Banshee, now becoming a full time member, as Smith was still recovering from the emotional anguish of The Cure album "Pornography" (which led to Simon Gallup leaving The Cure, a major reason for the band's hiatus).

Big plans for 2018?
You would be surprised how many wild ideas are happening in 2018 ...— Lol Tolhurst (@LolTolhurst) November 19, 2017
My lips are sealed...— Lol Tolhurst (@LolTolhurst) November 20, 2017
A post shared by Lol Tolhurst (@lol.tolhurst) on
Update (Nov. 26th, 2017): I know we've all had fun speculating on these posts from Reeves and Lol, but please keep in mind that they both have their own projects, and not everything is Cure related. Lol could be speaking about his 2nd book, his graphic novel that he's working on with Pearl, his Cured movie adaptation, or that studio project he was working on with Pearl. It could be anything.
Also, there's this problem of Lol & Robert not having had any contact in quite some time. From a recent Metro interview:
"What was Robert Smith's reaction?
I gave him the first copy of the book about six months before its release. He was on tour, very busy, and we have not had any contact since. But I'm sure I would have known if he did not like it."
So just don't get your hopes up too high. Even if there ARE major Cure plans in the works, we know how quickly they can change.
And one more thing, we all know how much Robert loathes social media/"The fucking internet", and the leaking of any info before he posts it himself, so would Lol & Reeves really post these things if they're Cure related?
"And so it begins..."
A post shared by Reeves Gabrels (@reevesgabrels) on
Update (Nov. 26th, 2017): So what is Reeves really up to? From a Facebook post on Nov. 23rd - "I'm using this fantastic space for my various writing, recording, editing, mixing projects..."
That would seem to put to rest the speculation that Reeves was in England recording with the band. But it doesn't mean that he isn't working on demos or other Cure things.

text: In this specification a model of interlocking systems is presented, and it is describe how the model may be validated by simulation. Station topologies are modelled by graphs in which the nodes denote track segments, and the edges denote connectivity for train traffic. Points and signals are modelled by annotations on the edges, thereby restricting the driving possibilities. We define the safe station states as predicates on the graph, and present a first step towards an implementation of these predicates. The model development illustrates how concepts may be captured and validated for a non-trivial system. This work was conducted by Kirsten Mark Hansen work for the Danish State Railways.

In early September 2015, Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle told Deadline a sequel to his 1996 film Trainspotting will be happening. "All the four main actors want to come back and do it. Now it is only a matter of getting all their schedules together which is complicated by two of them doing American TV series."
In 2002 Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh published a sequel, Porno, picking up on the lives of the original crew of junkies and derelicts, Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy, and Spud. Trainspotting screenwriter John Hodge has completed a script to the sequel. Ewan McGregor told EW in late 2014 that he is looking forward in shooting the sequel sometime in 2016. "It's supposed to be happening in 2016. I did speak about it with Danny and I'm very excited by the idea of it. I wouldn't have wanted to do it before, but in the last few years, I've completely changed my mind. I think it would be quite an amazing thing to make a sequel to a movie 20 years later, with all the same characters."

Now, with Avengers: Infinity War still a year and a half away from hitting theaters, it's perhaps not all that surprising that we still haven't seen or heard all that much from the film's set. Now, sure, that's largely because #AvengersInfinityWar has only just (reportedly) started filming, meaning that there really wasn't anything much to see until now, but if anything that just makes the relative lack of revelations all the more reasonable.
It doesn't, however, mean that nothing is making its way out of #Marvel's Atlanta stronghold. After all...
The Russo Brothers Just Shared A Video Of An 'Avengers: Infinity War' Prop
The only problem, of course, being that no-one has absolutely any idea what the heck that prop is supposed to be. After all, the video above — which the #RussoBrothers themselves recently posted to Facebook — seems to show a large, complex prop being 3D printed via a process known as stereolithography, but it doesn't actually make it all that clear what it is that we're seeing. Is it a model of an alien space station? A shiny new sculpture for Tony Stark's lawn? An exotic stool of some kind? Honestly, we haven't a clue, and that seems to be precisely what the Russo Brothers were intending.
If you have any ideas, though, send them on a postcard to the usual address. Or, y'know, head down to the comments section below and speculate wildly with the rest of us. That's what the internet is there for.
Still want more on Avengers: Infinity War, though? Never fear, we've got you covered right here.
In the meantime, what do you think? Just what is that thing in the video? Let us know below!

Is Roe v. Wade Bad for Democrats?
The vacancy on the Supreme Court brings the issue of abortion back into focus. Roe v. Wade may or may not be on the line, but that isn't stopping people from arguing why it should be overturned.
Interestingly, some of the recent arguments against Roe have come from people claiming that overturning the decision would be good for Democrats. Is this just a neat rhetorical trick, or is their any substance in such an argument?
I think it's possible that there's some truth there, but it's not coming from everyone. For instance, writing for the Wall Street Journal, James Taranto discusses what he calls The Roe Effect.
Compounding the GOP advantage is what I call the Roe effect. It is a statement of fact, not a moral judgment, to observe that every pregnancy aborted today results in one fewer eligible voter 18 years from now. More than 40 million legal abortions have occurred in the United States since 1973, and these are not randomly distributed across the population.
Taranto goes on and on trying to clarify how exactly Roe has hurt the pro-choice movement, but his argument really isn't much more complex than: pro-choice mothers are aborting future pro-choice voters.
That's a pretty hard assertion to back up with anything more than provocative logic games. It's the kind of half-truth that supporters will agree with and detractors will scoff at.
Dean Esmay, a pro-choice supporter but Roe denouncer, makes what I think is a better argument.
When the Constitutional joke that is Roe v. Wade is finally overturned, it will also signal the end of the so-called "Religious Right" as a unified political voice in America. Most "religious conservatives" do not give a fig about taxes, free trade, gun ownership, or anything else: they vote Republican because of the abortion issue, period…
Some say that the end of Roe v. Wade will signal the end of the dominance of the Republican Party. They are probably correct. Not because its overturning will cause moderates to bolt the party--it won't--but because religious conservatives will finally be confronted with the fact that the vast majority of Americans support limitations on abortion, but ultimately want it to stay legal. With that one lousy decision gone, religious conservatives will no longer have a unifying rallying point that keeps them in the Republican fold.
I have often seen people argue that overturning Roe will bring balance back to the debate and result in a more unified policy and public. That idea has a lot of appeal. But I don't know if it is right. I don't know that over 30 years of fierce animosity will drain away if Roe is overturned.
That's why I have supported and continue to support efforts to reduce abortions through initiatives that support the other side of pro-choice—the choice to keep the child. Abortion is nothing to celebrate. But reducing it cannot be achieved through laws making it illegal. Only through hard work undertaken in our communities and through programs aimed at helping ease the burden of bearing and caring for a child can we make a real and lasting impact on the number of abortions.

Fujifilm's budget 'A' series cameras have got a lot more stylish - and a lot slimmer - in recent years, but the basic feature set remains just that; basic. The 10 megapixel A100 (along with slightly higher spec sibling the A150) offers a fairly stylish and easy to use entry point to digital photography from a well-respected brand at an undeniably low price, even if the modest 3x zoom and point-and-shoot functionality are slightly underwhelming.

Haley Bristor has not received any gifts yet
For our Park(ing) Day we focused on a social issue, world peace. September 21st was also International Peace Day so having Pinwheels for Peace seemed right. People came to our spot and were able to make their own pinwheel. While they made their pinwheel they were able to focus on specific organizations that help to contribute to world peace. When they were done, they took a white pinwheel, which symbolizes peace, and take it with them to spread peace throughout the community. …Continue

A Slovakian woman is facing six years in prison for posting a video of herself urinating on the Quran before burning it, and then making violent threats to all Muslims, the Metro reports.
Sheila Szmerekova was seen in a video clip standing in front of the Slovakia flag with the Quran which she insults, urinates on and then sets on fire.
The 24-year-old then posted the hate-filled video online but has been removed since.
Szmerekova who is from the Slovakian city of Ruzomberok, was arrested and taken into police custody.
She is accused of producing extremist promotional materials, defamation of a nation and race and incitement of national, racial or ethnic hatred.
Szmerekova covered her face with a sheet of paper outside court and did not make any comment to the press.
According to spokeswoman of the general prosecutor's office Andrea Predajnova, the video was shared online last December.
A police spokeswoman described the video: "In the video she shows a book with the title The Quran and she repeatedly said that it was the Quran.
"She tore out the pages and threw them on the ground. She urinated on the pages and wiped herself with some, and then she set them on fire."
Szmerekova also verbally threatened all Muslims in the video. She said: "I will hunt you all step by step. No matter if it is a woman, a child or a man. I will bump off anybody who gets in my way.
"I do not care about the criminal complaints. It will not stop me. I have a message for everybody, including the police – nobody will stop me."
Her Facebook profile were full of far-right, white supremacist and Islamophobic opinions.
The young woman was told she faces up to six years in jail.
Her mother Olga told Slovak media that her daughter had been behaving badly since suffering a sexual assault as a teenager.
Olga told the Slovakian press: "Romani gypsies raped her where she was 14. It was said to me that there were 14 of them. Since then she has acted like this."
Sheila spent some time in a psychiatric ward and at a youth detention centre.
She is a mother of seven-year-old son who was taken away from her because she drank too much alcohol and did not take care of the boy, according to local media.

iPods to be banned if they are turning into 'diePods'Many PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS owners who use their handhelds on their daily commutes in New York may be familiar with the sinking sensation of realising they've missed their stop after getting too involved in a game. However, most pedestrians seem to manage to put down their handheld long enough to check that they're not stepping into oncoming traffic. However New York State Senator Carl Kruger said he will introduce legislation to ban the use of gadgets such as iPods, mobile phones, Blackberry devices and video games while crossing the street. As per Kruger cases of people stepping into traffic while distracted by an electronic device is on a rise.
Tech-consuming New Yorkers trudge to work on sidewalks and subways like an army of drones, appearing to talk to themselves on wireless devices or swaying to seemingly silent tunes. But a legislation to ban the use of electronic gadgets, including portable game machines, BlackBerrys, mobile phones, and iPods, while crossing the road is way too much. Those who ignore the ban could face a fine of $100.
According to me this is a classic case of blaming the product for the stupidity of other people. Trust me, this won't last long.
