Shaun and Georgia are orphans of the Rising, the cataclysmic event which left the world reeling in the aftermath of the zombie uprising. Adopted by the Masons and raised in the strange world of the post-Rising media, they've spent their lives chasing the next big story, the one that will allow them to break into the big leagues once and for all. Now, in Senator Peter Ryman's run for the Presidency of the United States, they've finally found it.
All they have to do is survive until the election.
In a world filled with the constant threat of both the living and the living dead, it will be all that Shaun and Georgia can do to keep themselves in one piece. Accompanied by the rest of their blogging team, Senator Ryman's staff, and a whole lot of caffeine, they might succeed…or they might finally answer the big question of their post-Rising world: When will you rise?
Quick & Dirty: Beware, for the zombie apocalypse cometh.
Opening Sentence: Our story opens where countless stories have ended in the last twenty-six years: with an idiot—in this case, my brother Shaun—deciding it would be a good idea to go out and poke a zombie with a stick to see what happens.
Excerpt: Yes
The Review:
In this world, in the year 2031, or there about, there are things that have changed, and some that have not. Our cars do not fly yet, we still use cell phones, and PDAs and PCs, we still watch movies on TV and vote in a president every four years. There have been some technological improvements, advances in identification messages, etc., and the blogging community is taking over the world! How awesome is that?
There has, however, been one huge change that completely blacks out all of this fun stuff. Big, huge, gargantuan, even. In our world, there are now zombies, or The Infected as they refer to them in the book. This was no slow phasing in, either. It causes such an event (well Grant calls it "cataclysmic" up in the synopsis) that it has its own title—The Rising. Kinda like The Great Depression, or World War II, or The Simpsons. You see, apparently two years from now, in 2014 (guess those Mayans got it wrong after all), there's a cure for the common cold, as well as a cure for cancer. But, apparently when these two kooky love birds mix together, you have the recipe for destruction. For when a person who carries both these in their body, which is every warm blooded mammal bigger than a small dog, and they die by any means, these genes cause them to be reanimated with no intellectual awareness, no cognitive ability and with a thirst for flesh.
Ok, so in this sort of post-apocalyptic world, there lives two sibling bloggers, Georgia "George" Mason and Shaun Mason and their web partner and tech guru, Georgette "Buffy" Meissonier. These three have just landed the job of all jobs, joining a presidential nominee candidate during his run for the big spot on the ballot as part of his entourage. But all is not well during the following weeks, as we read all about murder, death, zombies and even some political espionage. I won't be telling you any more, you will simply have to read this book.
Feed is a gripping book, start to finish, sometimes a bit technical, but otherwise, very good. But just thinking about the premise freaks me out, and makes me want to write letters to labs and tell them not to work on a cure for the common cold anymore. And, man, what an ending. Personally I was pitching a huge hissy fit on the couch, even woke up my snoring hubby when I got to that point. I am still thinking, "awww did you have to?"
I swear, sometimes I feel like people are intentionally trying to give me nightmares. And this time, it made me cry as well. Scary nightmares, coupled with utter desolation makes for some intense insomnia, and thus some sleepless nights. But, neither of these things make me want to read the next one any less, or the one after that either. So off I go into this particular horizon with a promise to read the next two in this trilogy, and possibly end up with more nightmares, but hopefully not so much crying.
Notable Scene:
"Georgia, this is a hill!" he said with increasing urgency as the locals lunged toward the speeding bike. He was using my proper name, that was how I could tell he was worried. I'm only "Georgia" when he's unhappy.
"I got that." I hunched over to decrease wind resistance a few more precious degrees. Shaun mimicked the motion automatically, hunching down behind me.
"Why are we going up a hill?" he demanded. There was no way he'd be able to her my answer over the combined roaring of the engine and the wind, but that's my brother, always willing to question that which won't talk back.
"Ever wonder how the Wright brothers felt?" I asked. The crest of the hill was in view. From the way the street vanished on the other side, it was probably a pretty steep drop. The moaning was coming from all sides now, so distorted by the wind that I had no real idea what we were driving into. Either way, it was too late to find another path. We were committed, and for once, Shaun was the one sweating.
"Hold on!" Ten yards. The zombies kept closing, single-minded in their pursuit of what might be the first fresh meat some had seen in years. From the looks of most of them, the zombie problem in Santa Cruz was decaying faster than it was rebuilding itself. Sure, there were plenty fresh ones—there are always fresh ones because there are always idiots who wander into quarantined zones, either willingly or by mistake, and the average hitchhiker doesn't get lucky where zombies are concerned—but we'll take the city back in another three generations. Just not today.
Five yards.
Zombies hunt by moving toward the sound of other zombies hunting. It's recursive, and that meant our friends at the base of the hill started for the peak when they heard the commotion. I was hoping so many of the locals had been cutting us off at the ground level that they wouldn't have many bodies left to mount an offensive on the hill's far side. We weren't supposed to make it that far, after all; the only thing keeping us alive was the fact that we had a motorcycle and the zombies didn't.
I glimpsed the mob waiting for us as we reached the top. They were standing no more that three deep. Fifteen feet would see us clear.

The movie Kakkoos has been running into rough times with the police. Screenings of the movie have been blocked in Parakkai (Kanyakumari district), Coimbatore and Madurai. Police have said that screening the film may cause law and order problems. This is preposterous, because the film is just reportage. It reports on the realities of the lives of sanitation workers, sewer cleaners, and other such workers, many of whom essentially do manual scavenging. Laws against manual scavenging have been passed in 1993 and 2013. The film points out failures in their implementation, for example how the deaths of workers in septic tanks have not resulted in any punishments of the people responsible. "We are being called anti-social for pointing out that the law is not being followed," says Divya, the director of Kakkoos. "It also speaks of the level of Dalit consciousness among our government and police," she said.
The first screening of the film was held at MM Preview theater in Chennai. The film has been praised for being powerful from various quarters including media, labour groups and citizens. The second screening was scheduled for March 2nd in Parakkai, and was organized by a group 'Nizharthaangal'. It is said to have been blocked by the police on the ground that the film did not have a certificate from the censor board. Director Divya said they will eventually apply for a censor board certification, but that would be with the aim of exposing the nature of the censorship process. Prior to the scheduled screening, Lakshmi Manivannan, secretary of Nizharthangal, had been receiving phone calls from people who claimed to be from the IB, according to Divya. In the end, they did not screen the movie, and instead just had a discussion with Divya.
On March 8, there was a screening scheduled in Coimbatore, organized by Samaka Neeti Kakshi (a group formed by sanitation workers). On March 9th, a screening was organized by AISA in Madurai. Both these screenings were blocked by the police. In Madurai, AISA demanded for a written letter, and got one, which was shared with Thozhilalar Koodam. The letter states that the screening of the film would cause law and order problem.
On March 12th in Madurai, Viduthalai Ciruthaikal Katchi (VCK) managed to screen the film after a regular meeting. Divya opines that the screening was not announced earlier and hence the police may not have gotten wind of it to stop it. However, what's evident is that there was no law and order issue that were reported after the film was screened.
More screenings are scheduled. There is a March 18th screening in Pure cinema hall, Chennai. There is another March 18th screening in Periyar Thidal, Chennai as part of Marupakkam film festival. On March 19th, there is a screening near Chennai press club organized by AIPF, which will be attended by Bezwada Wilson. Director Divya said that Left groups SFI, DYFI, AISF, AISA and RYI are wholeheartedly fighting to question the blocking and censorship of the movie. She also said they aim to circulate DVDs.

Skip to comments.Arabian Nightmare For Iran
Posted on 12/23/2009 12:04:05 AM PST by ErnstStavroBlofeld
The commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East made an observation that the Gulf Arab nations wished he hadn't. General David Petraeus noted that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Air Force, and it's 80 F-16E fighters could probably quickly destroy the entire Iranian Air Force. The Gulf Arabs would prefer the Iranians to believe their own propaganda, that the Iranian military is much more powerful than it actually is. The Iranian Air Force is mainly a mighty force only in terms of Iranian propaganda. The Gulf Arabs don't want the Iranians to make a strong effort to upgrade their air force and air defenses. The Iranian myth is much better for the Gulf Arabs than Iranian military commanders who plan and prepare on the basis of what they really have. The UAE occupies most of the western coast of the Persian Gulf, but has a population of less than three million and armed forces of only 65,000. There are 70 million Iranians, and about half a million of them are in the military. While the Iranian air force only has about 200 operational, and quite elderly, combat aircraft, sheer numbers can be encouraging to the Iranians. The UAE has a hundred, much more modern, warplanes, and it uses the training assistance from the U.S. Air Force, to provide a qualitative edge. The Americans also work with UAE commanders to figure out what kind of surprises the Iranians might try to pull. Arab nations fear the Iranians, who have dominated the region for thousands of years, and have a long history of coming up with imaginative tactics, and using them aggressively and often with success.
(Excerpt) Read more at strategypage.com ...
UAE, Iraq and Saudi could (and should) take out Iran. What do they have to fear? The Iranian government will fight for a couple of days but then the Iranian people will probably cut the legs out from under the government.
And besides, if the Gulf States did do it, 100% guarantee that USA, UK, France and others would back their play - even reluctantly if necessary.
Too bad nobody over there except the Iranian leaders have any balls. Iran should be pushed over the edge. The west despicably abandoned the Iranian democrats and kiss the ass of terrorist supporting dictators who are close to the edge as it is. Push them off the cliff, and the nuclear issue will sort itself out, too, when the new Democratic government is elected.
The big problem the Arab Gulf states have is that their citizens are sloth and lazy.....most of the work is done by foreigners.
Iran may not have the advantage in materiel and wealth....but they have the personnel.....people who will fight.
How willing will some Arab in the Gulf States be willing to fight? You have to pull him away from his Mercedes and his trips to Bahrain's casinos.
Gen Petraeus is correct on the material assesment of the situation....and I bet he is well aware of the manpower issues in the Gulf as well...even though this was no mentioned in this article.
Israel will have to take out Iran
Aw, come on; you dont think that wasnt staged for effect GD could use the sales Boeing even has a hybrid F-15, with "fifth-generation" add-ons, known as the Silent Eagle (SE) that is being promoted for international customers'.
They also hold their own population hostage. You may have noticed that the U.S. destroyed the Iraqi military in about three weeks and could do the same thing to Iran. The issue is "then what?" If we walk out, there are political and diplomatic implications. It will also inflame militant Islamists, but so what? They are always inflamed about something. If the Allies had moved into the Ruhr in 1935 to enforce the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, there may have been political implications, and Germanists (including a good number of Jews) would have been inflamed? But so what? Better to have Hitler ranting in beer halls than invading half of Europe.
It's starting to seem like old times.
I've missed you guys.
Too bad there are no Iranian beer halls.
The Mideast is and always was full of lunatics ranting in the markets and the mosques. Most countries keep them out of palaces of power. Saddam was something of a ranter, but more like Stalin than Hitler. Not so much an ideologue as power drunk.
We take for granted the hard-won freedoms he enjoy.
As I posted on the other thread on this topic:
The Iranian Air Force is one of the few air forces with battle-hardened veterans who actually participated in air-to-air combat... and the only one which did it succesfully for 8 years against an internationally pumped up Iraq... with increasing material and logistical difficulties.
The Gulf Arab militaries are mercenary forces consisting of South Asian slaves. The Arabs actually dont lift a finger.
Odds are that if the shit hits the fan, the Arabs will ask us to fight for them. They will foot the bill at best.
Buying modern toys isnt enough.

I live in a home filled with people who love gaming. We love video games, board games, card games, educational games and more. Being a mom, I try to limit the amount of actual video gaming the kids do but for the last week, limiting their time hasn't been easy thanks to LeapTV from Leap Frog.
For those who haven't heard, LeapTV is an active video gaming system that gives kids the chance to learn using motion such as jumping and dancing.
Yes, you read that right, a GAMING SYSTEM that TEACHES and makes kids be ACTIVE to play! No more sitting around, playing games.
LeapTV is easy to set up and includes the console, a motion-sensing camera, camera mount, transforming controller with a wrist strap, HDMI cable, 16GB of memory and built-in Wi-Fi for downloads.
We've been enjoying our LeapTV and it has been so much fun that we even invited some friends over to try it out. It's been pretty cold here in Wisconsin lately so having something for the kids to do inside that keeps their little bodies moving has been a godscend.
LeapTV is designed for kids ages 3 to 8 and combines activity and movement with learning.
I love that the kids are learning core skills such as reading, math, science and problem solving. Having a child that has struggled with reading and sight words, having something that is fun and encourages him to learn, is an asset in our house.
LeapTV provides access to LeapFrog's Learning Library of more than 100 game cartridges, game downloads and videos all designed or approved by LeapFrog's team of gaming and learning experts.
After experiencing LeapTV in our home, I know one friend is already planning on putting one under their Christmas tree this year.
You can get your own LeapTV, starting at $49.99 as well as a variety of games. We've already picked up a few extra games for the holidays.
Be sure to connect with LeapFrog on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

Taipei-based artist CHANG Teng-Yuan creates paintings and animation projection installations that show the absurdity of life. He recently spent four months at New York's ISCP, an artist-in-residency program, which was sponsored by the International Talents Exchange Program of the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan.

Fine Art invited Chang Teng-Yuan 張騰遠 to discuss how he became an artist and to advise young artists on how to create their own prosperous art careers.

(Please note that it is Asian custom to put the family/last name before the given/first name.)

Q: How does one establish a career as an artist?

A: Actually, I think I still have long ways to go in my artist career, such as to experiment with my ideas in the studio more regularly and continuously, to be more active in engaging in artist residency projects and art awards, to further establish networks with people in different fields, and the most importantly, to feel everything in life wholeheartedly and keep recording it because I believe it will be the source of inspiration someday in the future.

Q: What's the best strategy(is) for a young artist? Get an MFA?

A: I think it is to join all kinds of competitions and exhibitions. Truly, an MFA degree is not necessary but it can surely provide you some resources. In my opinion, the best strategy is to make one's works and concepts ready and then strive for any opportunities to be seen in any occasions.

Q: Should an artist move to a specific country or city? Does locality matter?

A: As what I have answered the last question, an artist works for an opportunity to be seen. In fact, as for me, no matter whether I am in a resourceful big city or the suburbs, there are always accesses to share works with a bunch of people. Through the Internet, one can have connections with people all over the world.

Therefore, I don't think there is one specific answer to this question. It is more favorable to me that one artist chooses his or her place to work on arts and live according to one's own personality.

Q: How does an artist get the attention of a curator?

A: For me, it is probably best to join all kinds of openings actively or share my works in a friendly manner. Besides, I would say the most important thing is to get a personal portfolio and website ready all the time so that there are topics when meeting curators.

Q: How does an artist develop a portfolio? What are the integral elements?

A: The key point of a portfolio is it can completely show your strengths on works and leave a deep impression on viewers. That's why I care so much about whether my portfolio can be read clearly which is also the indispensable element.

Q: How does an artist get in an important group exhibition?

A: Getting in front of the gallery owner or the curator in person and recommending one's own works courageously is the most direct way to present oneself. They might have some opinions about your works, too.

Q: Is it wise to submit work to juried exhibitions?

A: I don't think all works are suitable for competition. Therefore, I may advise artists to have pre-judgment on their own series of works to find the adequate works in terms of efficiency.

Q: Is gallery representation vital to an artist's career?

A: It depends on the personality of an artist. In my experience, I really need a gallery to deal with all kinds of administrative affairs, contacts, and arrangement for my exhibitions. For me, it is appropriate to get into a topic of the agency after both have built up nice relationships. Regarding the items of the cooperation agreement, both should be clear about the responsibilities and obligations for each side. This will make the cooperation a lot more pleasant and smooth.

How Artists Can Apply to an Artist Residency

Q: What should artists do to maximize their chances to be accepted into an artist residency?

First, an artist must do research on the location of the artist residency project. One should choose a suitable place according to the types of his or her creation, and tailor a proposal of artist residency project for the place to increase the chance to be selected.

Q: Are residencies important for an artist's career?

It's significant. Artist residencies can bring various life experiences to one's artist career and in the meanwhile broaden one's horizon.

I also think it is necessary for an artist to create and live abroad for a while, because when one lives in a foreign country, everything is likely to become an inspiration or providing new realizations.

Artist residencies are helpful in the way that you can get together with artists and curators from all around the world and have lots of chances to communicate with them. Moreover, what benefits me the most is living and working in a foreign place, because things from unfamiliar places are always fresh and interesting and bring me new ideas and inspirations that I didn't have before. Therefore, I think the experience of an artist residency is necessary to an artist.

Q: What do artists need to know about artist residencies?

Meet all kinds of people actively without a premise. Do not presume what to gain throughout the residency. These will make the residency go well and make you happier.


text: A big milestone for me. Last couple of years we've been focusing so much on installs & such that I hadn't been puting enough of a priority on growing our maintenance biz. So we've been hovering around 160 for ages. Sometimes it was more like 150 or 155 as accounts dropped off in the winter and no new accounts took their place. But even in the spring and summer we never got much past 160. Now, in just the last few weeks, we've blown over 170 - All year-round accounts! Well, I'm not meaning to brag. It was just a big milestone and it seemed like it took me forever. So I had to mention it. 200 is the goal this year.

Discuss the implications of Eliezer's father wishing that his son had gone with his mother.
- print Print
- list Cite
This is a very powerful moment in a work that is filled with them. On one hand, I think that Eliezer's father is someone who believes in community and a sense of solidarity. It is for this reason that he had been so active in his own community in Sighet and been so driven to ensure that he gave towards the cause of solidarity. It is within this light that he mourns the separation of mother and child. He understood clearly that his son being separated from his mother would be a critical moment. Eliezer would not see his mother again. At the same time, Eliezer's father understands the true nature of the horrific experience that will be in front of them in the death camps. To a great extent, being able to die with his mother will spare his son of facing this brutal experience. At that moment, death in the hands of his mother in the furnace is something that the father understands would be preferable to what is in front of them right now. The ironic element in this is that Eliezer's father wants his son to maintain the bonds of familial piety with his mother, something that will be tested and repudiated between father and son as the narrative develops.

"Heroism never goes out of fashion! Today, we recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes. We wear a poppy with pride!"
"Heroes take journey for ordinary to extraordinary and their legacy is the memory of a great name. They don't leap tall buildings or stop bullets, they don't wear boots and capes, their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Duty comes in many forms and it doesn't melt away. The glory lies not in the achievement, but in the sacrifice."
"It seems that November got off to an excruciatingly slow start, with new incentives programs from Ford and GM just now beginning to boost showroom traffic."

Kuldip Rajo was brought up in a Sikh family and found faith in Jesus Christ as a teenager through local Christians who befriended him. After a number of years as an executive in the Midland Bank, Kuldip entered full-time Christian service in 1989 in order to reach his fellow Asian people with the love of Christ. He is married to Vashi and they have two sons, Sanjay and Anil. http://www.saco.freeserve.co.uk http://www.9javan.co.uk
1. Why is Jesus important to you?
Having been brought up in a Sikh family, the free offer of forgiveness of my sins and a relationship with God that Jesus gives is a message that I have found nowhere else. Jesus's words speak life into heart and mind. His example of how to live brings a daily challenge. He gives me a hope and purpose not only for this life but also for the next.
2. How did your faith begin?
I've never had problems with the existence of God, which I guess can be put down to my upbringing. But as a teenager, the big questions of life literally began to haunt me. Why am I here? What happens when you die? How do you qualify for heaven, if it exists?
In my search, I asked these questions at home to my devout and very lovely Sikh parents, and to my friends who were Christians. In a nutshell, what I was told at home was that if I live a good life and receive the Sikh initiation, then maybe I will escape the cycle of reincarnation. These ifs and maybes left me unsettled. When I heard that by accepting Jesus I can be forgiven, and should I die I would go to be with God forever, this seemed right in my heart and my faith in Jesus began.
3. Have you ever found faith hard to keep?
The pressure at home after I became a Christian was immense, and as I got older the temptation to be like my friends, clubbing and womanising, often made faith a struggle. Looking back, I thank God for keeping me from walking away. Today, at one level I have no difficulty in believing that Jesus is the only way to know God, but following him with the whole of my being is a daily struggle.
4. What does believing in Jesus mean to your everyday life?
Whether I am at home or out, I belong to him and I seek to live a life that pleases him. Of course, that doesn't mean I always succeed, but this is my aim. In all the decisions I make, through prayer, I seek his will. I look for opportunities to tell others, particularly my own countryfolk, of the wonderful gift of life that Jesus offers.
5. What encouragement would you give someone looking for faith?
Above all other issues in life, this is number one. I would encourage everyone, from every religious and ethnic background, to seek God in truth and sincerity. He is not far away. Look at the offer Jesus makes and accept it. You won't find anything better.

Win7 SP1 is stuck at reconfiguring Windows settings after reboot
As the title describes. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. My SSD only has 15GB free space or so. SP1 has failed for me twice: First time it gave me an error code, most likely due to lack of free space (say, you need at least 15GB). On second time, it's frozen with a black screen saying "reconfiguring Windows settings" in Finnish.
I tried booting to safe mode with network, it worked just fine. I cannot open Windows Update from there though, and My Computer tells me that I have 14,7GB free space on my C:/, which is my SSD drive.
Just to be sure, I also left it reconfiguring settings overnight with no results.
Now I can't use my computer in any other than safe mode, which sucks obviously. Any fix for this to cancel the update?
Cheers and thanks in advance!
EDIT: Oh, and it's a full retail version I've bought.

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.
According to Microsoft, your version of Windows requires drive space of at least 20GB for installation puposes.
Windows 7 system requirements - Microsoft Windows
The reason you can run in Safe Mode is because only the minimum files and drivers to get Windows up and running. What is the total size of your SSD? If it's less than 40GB I'd suggest getting a bigger drive. (Do you have anything on the SSD other than Windows 7?)
|My System Specs
|05 Jul 2011
Hey seavixen32,
thanks. I am trying to update to SP1 with Windows Update. My total SSD size should be 60GB. I've already moved pagefil.sys and hiberfil.sys to my D:/ drive which is 1TB to free up space. (Followed a tutorial here to free up space)
I think Windows Update earlier told me I'd need 15GB for the SP1 update.
I don't have any other files on my C:/ than Windows. I've installed all apps on D:/ and run CCleaner regularly.
Hope that helps!

We are known as a sports-loving country but Australia is not known for ice hockey which makes it all the more impressive that Australian Nathan Walker has been drafted to play for the major league in the United States
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Nathan Walker was born in Wales but moved to Australia with his family when he was just two years old and it was here that he learned to play ice hockey.
He played in Sydney for the Blacktown Flyers until he was thirteen when he moved to pursue his hockey career in the Czech Republic.
Nathan says he has dreamed of playing for the National Hockey League since he was about four years old when he was inspired by the hockey movie, The Mighty Ducks.
In 2013, he came one step closer to that dream when he was signed to play for the Hershey Bears in the American Hockey League where he became the first Australian to score a goal in the AHL.
And this week, at the age of 20, Nathan has been drafted to play for the Washington Capitals in the NHL.
'Great team, great organisation. I'm absolutely honoured to be drafted by them', he says.
Ice hockey is not a game for the faint-hearted and can be quite violent at times and Nathan has had his share of confrontations on the rink.
'Fighting is a big part of the game in hockey', he says.
'It can increase momentum, decrease momentum; it's actually a part of the game.'
But off the rink there is plenty of good humour including a few digs at Nathan for being Australian: what he calls 'just the typical skippy and kangaroo and koala jokes.'
Nathan is on the USA ice hockey team for a game against Canada to be played in Sydney on 26 July.
You can listen to Robbie Buck's interview with Nathan Walker using the audio player at the top of this page.

Last weekend I went back up to Cambridge for another weekend of Wedding Dress Factory with Annika.
My mother is in Europe and she has a family friend staying at her place, so Annika and I stayed with my brother Lucas in his new loft, which he was nice enough to let us take over with all our sewing paraphernalia for two whole days.
On Saturday, we picked up where we left off, working on the bodice and skirt separately, hoping to be able to finish the dress by the end of Sunday before we left.
|Annika pressing a seam in Lucas' living room
|The kitchen island turned into our work table

When it started to get dark--and we started to get delirious--we turned off the machine, got some ice cream, and settled into the pull-out couch to watch Best In Show, a hilarious way to end a long day.
Stay tuned for Sunday's progress, and to see if we finally finished the dress!

I used to love Elance. I want to love them again. Don't know if it's the economy or if somebody's asleep at the wheel over there. I've made over fifty grand on Elance in the last two years, writing all kinds of stuff for clients around the world, and while it was always bluecollar writing with absolutely no glory (as in, no bylines) — hey, that's the definition of freelance writing, isn't it? — it's all gone to hell in the proverbial handbasket.
If you aren't familiar with Elance — and if you're a blogger you should be, because there's work there — it's the eBay of online writing gigs. People from around the world who need to hire writers post projects there, and then writers bid on them, backed by a proposal, samples, and an infrastructure that provides user ratings and feedback, categorization and full-service money exchange and conflict resolution. On paper it's perfect, and for a while it was the answer to any writer's dream of actually writing for money. And while all that's still in play, Elance has turned into the garage sale farmers market art fair marketplace of cheap writing. (Note: writing is only one of several skills auctioned off on Elance; some rocket scientist decided to categorically pair it with "translation" , so you'll be working in the "Writing and Translation" category, which in street terms is like working in the "Tax preparation and car tune-up" category.)
Here's what's wrong with Elance lately. Because the posting and bidding process is largely unregulated (the only rule is that buyers can't ask for free work, though the point here is that they might as well be), the economy — combined with large does of greed, desperation and utter cluelessness — has driven rates for writing services down well below minimum wage. When a buyer posts a project they declare a budget range, and about 80 percent of the time buyers select a bidder at the lower end of it. If the range was reasonable that would be fair, but here's the shitty reality: they want entire books written for $500… they want twenty articles delivered for $50… they want an entire web page written for $75… they want 1000 articles written for, again, $500. I've seen all that, and worse. Much worse. Somewhere Robert Bly (look him up) is being fitted for a noose in his garage.
Here's an example project I saw this week. Some buyer — and they truly come from around the world; if you read the postings, at least half are obviously prepared by English-as-a-distant-second-language self-proclaimed newbie entrepreneur — is asking for 850 articles of 550 words each. His budget range is $500 to $1000. Do the math. Then get angry. That's less than a buck an article, up to slightly more than a buck an article. But forget the slightly more option, because somebody, somewhere (think India), will actually bid $500, or even lower, and no matter how strongly you pitch your credentials, the buyer will more than likely select the lowest bidder. Almost always. If you can write four of those things in an hour — and if you can, then you're a real pro, or just the opposite — that's a working wage of four bucks an hour. When you apply this same formula to the guy who wants a 50,000 word book for $500 — one that won't have your name on the cover, by the way — the math is even worse.
The economy isn't Elance's fault. What is their fault is that they have no quality standards in place, or even a standard of fair play and equity. You'd think they would understand and honor the value of professional writing, and when they support highway robbery and insulting pricing they show that they obviously don't. And why should they, the site still posts about 15,000 new projects monthly, on which they get 7.5 percent of the action, in addition to the very reasonable membership fees.
Bit of a rant, I admit. And I don't really have an agenda, other than fair warning and a sad lament. My Elance user name is Wryterman — check my client feedback and my numbers, and you'll see that I've been there and know what I'm talking about.
And if you're a blogger, know this: more than ever we must cling to our values and self esteem as writers who deliver value. And as for "free" writing, doing this is far more rewarding that what Elance is schlepping these days.

Mining sparks fears for Indigenous sites
Aboriginal group, the Ngalia Foundation, says culturally significant sites could be destroyed if an application to stop mining is not processed quickly.
The foundation has lodged an application with the departments of sustainability, water, environment and conservation to stop mining at the Mountain Forrest Range, 150 kilometres west of Leonora.
A number of mining companies are currently conducting exploratory drilling in the area.
Ngalia spokesman Kado Muir says his group has exhausted all avenues of response with the State Government.
He says the application at a federal level could be the last opportunity for the range to be protected.
"We as custodians of that particular place have responsibilities to other Aboriginal people up and down this Dreaming track to the east and to the west to ensure that where this communal Dreaming track passes through our country, we look after it," he said.

I have yet to see any conclusive argument that shows any home user need to pay for a firewall or AV.
AVG is used by many on here and I run an alert list of over 80 emails tht have had AVG for over a year. They are all delighted and this is better than any of the virus tests.

Coming Soon
Scotland Road
by Jeffrey Hatcher
Directed by Charles Riffenburg
May 14 – June 14, 2015
presented at the Heartland Studio
A young woman in 19th century clothing is found floating on an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic. When rescued, she speaks only one word–"Titanic"–before falling into a frustrating silence. When news of the "survivor" reaches an aristocrat with an obsession for the famed ship, he uses his power and money to bring her to a secluded facility. There begins a battle of wills between this silent, mysterious woman and a man bent on proving her to be a fraud. However, nobody involved is truly what they seem, and the desperate unraveling of secrets could doom them all. The directing team that brought you last season's hit thriller Veronica's Room (Jeff Award nomination – Best Play) brings you another suspense-filled mystery about truth and identity.

We all want someone to talk to, who understands us, and maybe that's why generations of writers, readers and searching souls have responded so strongly to Rainer-Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, a series of exchanges that, while exactly as it sounds on paper, soars to the stars in its unrelenting attempts to unravel the complexities of life on a scale that makes sense in our everyday lives. Remembering how nice it was to read the first time, we thought we'd return to the text to unearth those searching queries, and ask some of our brightest stars today to either answer questions drawn from the text or write a letter to their teenage selves. Today, we have Jenny Davidson, who we have admired since 2004, a century in internet years, ever since the New York Times Book Review praised her debut novel, Heredity, for its "steadfast refusal to invest Elizabeth with the base-line likability that American readers seem to demand in their fictional heroines." Her new novels for young readers are The Explosionist and Invisible Things. Here areJenny's answers to some eternal questions.
1) Why must you write? What would you do if you weren't a writer? (Or, what was the best job you had before becoming an author?)
I must write because I would go completely out of my mind otherwise! I have a list of fantasy alternate careers – neurologist, epidemiologist, information theorist – but it is possible that my interest in these subjects only goes deep enough for me to want to describe and explain them as a writer, not to practice them on a daily basis…
2) What two books do you find indispensable? Who has given you the greatest experience of the essence of creativity, its depths and eternity?
The complete work s of Shakespeare: both the language of the most gorgeous passages (The Winter's Tale and A Midsummer Night's Dream) and the characters with their extraordinary soliloquies (Richard III, Falstaff, Hamlet, Lady Macbeth). King Learfor me represents the pinnacle of achievement in both of these two modes.
There's no other single book that's as important to me – if we're talking desert-island picks, I guess I'd have to ask for some kind of poetry anthology. But I reread War and Peace this summer, and it is surely one of the most extraordinary novels ever written: it pained me to turn the last page and close the cover and leave the world of the book.
3) If you could not send a reader all of your books, which one would you recommend first?
The Explosionist: I wrote it because I wanted to write something that would be like the imaginary book I most wanted to read, and I think it is the most immediately appealing of all of my books.
4) Which question did you once have, that you love most in retrospect (and have since answered or not answered)?
What will I be when I grow up?
5) Where is the place in which you most love to write?
A cafe, with background noise buzzing around me (quiet music – no Xmas carols! – and some light conversation) but nothing too loud or distracting. Preferably nobody talking on a cellphone nearby!
6) What is the value of solitude to a writer?
Beyond calculable.
7) What advice would you give to a young person, or your younger self, about love?
I have no advice about love!
8) What is the value of sadness to a writer?
9) What book, story or poem brought you greatest comfort as a teen?
The novels of Jane Austen, particularly Pride and Prejudice.
10) In closing, what single best piece of advice would you give to a hopeful young writer, in a sentence?
Patience, patience, patience.

Losing Too Much Weight-Anorexia
Losing weight is good if you are overweight, however if you are underweight and/or anorexic you do not need to lose any more weight.
Anorexia is actually a psychological eating disorder and it presents itself in patients in a way that prevents them from eating on most occasions. As the anorexic loses weight the disorder becomes to mean more than just weight loss, it also signifies control over one's body
Cycle of Losing Weight
The cycle of losing weight and starving oneself literally becomes an obsession with many girls and it is not uncommon for the starving to continue for long periods of time because this signifies the patient has "controlled "their body.
The vast majority of individuals who are affected by anorexia are women. Some males may have anorexia, too, but in more than 95% of the cases women have been the ones who were anorexia. In general, causations are more vulnerable than women of other races. It is believed that in the US approximately every one in 100 girls will have an eating disorder like anorexia.
Risk Factors Of Anorexia
There are certain people who have higher risk factors for anorexia than others. Anyone why might have a desire to be ultra thin is at risk including models, athletes, actors, dancers, and more.
Anorexia is caused by many factors that have yet to be determined by scientists or doctors. It is clear that there is more than just a physical thing at play but also a psychological factor.
It is believed in some situations that high demands for family, school, society, and/or school could be enough to push someone over the edge and into anorexia. There are other potential cases that are being studied but not clear evidence has emerged yet to pinpoint why some women become anorexic and others do not.
Some families have unique dysfunctions and doctors believe that this could cause anorexia in some of their patients. Usually, individuals are unable to create their own self-image and as a result are constantly relying on their family members.
Girls many times have a fear of actually growing up and this can easily add nerves and potentially play a role in anorexia.
Doctors and researchers have not pinpointed the exact reason for anorexia and there are many ideas in the works to try to determine more about this disease.
The Fat Person In The Mirror Of Your Mind
It truly is unfortunate that so many people suffer from anorexia simply because it can be a deadly disease if it is not gotten under control. Additionally, many people are psychologically affected for many years. They may be rail thin, but when they look in the mirror they still see a fat version of themselves. This alone is likely to lead to some cases of anorexia and it is important for family members and friends to be supportive about the disease to help the individual heal and move past it.
The healing process may take years or it may never take place for some who suffer from anorexia.
It is important to seek help with a health professional in the field of psychological eating disorders.
It's always GREAT to see an Amazing Recovery

Hey everybody, I'm back, and this is the last of my personal project. This is also my last weekday of summer vacation :(. But, I'm back with one of my favorite projects ever. Let me introduce you guys to the Egg and Potato Mini Casserole. I have a couple suggestions to make that would way improve on it, as this was my first shot at it. Just so you can know what you would want to add, here are the suggestions.
- I highly advise you make a crust. I recommend a thinly rolled pie crust, but if you want to be faster, a piece of tortilla will work in a pinch.
- Shred the potatoes. It will evenly distribute the potato, and give the mini casserole more shape.
- Mix all the potato, butter and spices together first, not after in the cupcake tins. It saves work.
So, now that thats covered, on to the recipe.
To start, wash, peel and chop/shred your potatoes. If not shredding them, chop them really fine, because they are going in cupcake tins. Then put all the potato in a bowl and add the butter and spices. I recommend using really squishy butter, it coats the potatoes better. I added the tiniest splash of milk, but it's an optional addition. Then plop all that potato goo into the cupcake wrappers,(you would add the crust first if you followed my advice), and then bake for 25 minutes at 400 F (200 C)or until they are soft and golden brown. (yum)
The eggs are very easy to prepare. Crack all the eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk, a dash of salt, and if you want, a tiny bit of shredded cheese. I mean, why not, cheese is always a great addition to any meal, breakfast especially. Then add the egg mixture to the potatoes and cook until done through the middle, or for 15 minutes.
Test them with a fork to make sure they're done, and pull em' out. The minute you pull them out, plop the shredded cheese on top so it can melt. (Chef tip: Be very generous with the cheese) This is also an opportunity to add extra salt if you like salt. I like salt, so I added three generous shakes to each mini casserole. Now, your mini casseroles are ready to enjoy.
I would like to add that you can add any ingredients you want to this. Veggies, other spices, meat, anything. They would make wonderful breakfasts or lunches on the go too. They are also pretty healthy if you tone down the butter a tiny bit. Since I travel so much, I am definitely going to try these as a train food, and I will update you on how it goes. It will be a while until then, but for now I will try to write about other cool stuff. I think the best travel option for these is to make them the night before, refrigerate them, and eat them before noon the next day.
Dash of milk if wanted.
Life Update: Again spent entire yesterday afternoon with a friend. So fun! We scrolled Pinterest and listened to music until she had to leave. We almost couldn't walk down the stairs we were laughing so hard. I don't think I have ever had so much fun. I'm going to start school soon, and my extra-curricular activity is 3-D animation. I might occasionally post some of the little animations I make if I have time. I am really looking forward to school starting actually, probably because I already have a character in mind. Well, see you next post!

The Benefits of House Sitting
In my year in New Zealand I house sat at five places, ranging from a length of four days up to nine weeks. Each house sit was unique in its own way, with both good and bad points, and I'm glad I did all of them. I wish I had been able to do more. In this three-part series I'm going to tell you what's good, what's bad, and finally a full guide on how to make house sitting work for you.Details

It has been done a long study by Japanese scientists which has been continued almost for twenty years in which it has been taken analysis between watching television daily of eighty six thousand men and women aging from forty to seventy nine years old and their health.
It has been revealed in study that chance of death increases seventy percent by clotting of blood in lungs of those who watch television daily from two and half hour to five hours daily. Beside it has been also seen if two hours further added in daily routine of watching television then the death chance rises to forty percent. Two hundred and fifty percent the most dangerous extent is for them who watch television more than five hours every day.
Good news is this that this danger can be abolished by moving the muscles by standing ,by stretching and expanding legs for a short time and by taking light exercise during watching television for a while. It is saying of experts pain of chest and difficulty in breathing are included in outwards signs of blood clotting in the lungs which resembles symptoms of several other diseases. This is the reason that this aspect (with reference to watch television very much) had been neglecting till now.

**About OCCUPY LOVE:
Join acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper (Scared Sacred, Fierce Light) on a journey deep inside the revolution of the heart that is erupting around the planet, as he asks the question, "How could the crisis we are facing become a love story?"
Occupy Love explores the growing realization that the dominant system of power is failing to provide us with health, happiness or meaning. The old paradigm that concentrates wealth, founded on the greed of the few, is causing economic and ecological collapse. The resulting crisis has become the catalyst for a profound awakening: millions of people are deciding that enough is enough – the time has come to create a new world, a world that works for all life.
It features some of the world's key visionaries on alternative systems of economics, sustainability, and empathy, including Penny Livingston, Drew Derringer, Charles Eisenstein, James O'Dea, Elisabet Sahtouris, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Clayton Thomas-Muller, Bill McKibben, Tom Goldtooth, Roshi Joan Halifax, Amr Adel, Colin Beavan, Naomi Klein, Jeremy Rifkin, Rebecca Solnit, Rupert Sheldrake and others...
About KUMARE:
A provocative social experiment-turned-documentary, Kumare follows American filmmaker Vikram Gandhi as he transforms himself into a wise Indian guru, hoping to prove the absurdity of blind faith. Instead, he finds himself forging profound connections with people from all walks of life -- and wondering if and when to reveal his true self. Will his followers accept his final teaching? Can this illusion reveal a greater spiritual truth? Winner of South by Southwest's Audience Award, Kumare is an insightful look at faith and belief.
