'Game of Thrones' Renewed for Season 4 After Record-Breaking S3 Premiere
- By
- 54 Comments
The least surprising item on today's list of television news stories is that HBO has renewed Game of Thrones for a fourth season, following the season 3 premiere, "Valar Dohaeris", which enjoyed series-record viewership.
Indeed, this current season only covers the first half of "A Storm of Swords" – the third installment in George R.R. Martin's popular "A Song of Ice and Fire" literature – hence, a fourth season to finish that book (and continue forward) was something planned from the very beginning.
Co-showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have revealed their intention to continue on for eight seasons, which (as the theory goes) would allow them to properly adapt Martin's magnum opus on the small screen – and, in the process, delivering all the low-medievel fantasy, bloody conflict, emotional warfare, political intrigue, and epic struggle between the forces of darkness and light one could want.
There's also been talk about developing a prequel series, based on the series of Westeros novellas crafted by Martin. Such a spinoff could compliment the central developments in Game of Thrones and help those unfamiliar with the source novels catch up on the backstory for various characters and settings; not to mention, of course, keeping this cash cow alive and thriving for HBO. More important to fans, is the matter of how it could provide Martin enough time to finish the last two "Ice and Fire" books (before the show catches and surpasses his progress, that is).
However, most of the matters discussed above remain just that at this stage: talk, no more or less. It won't be long before we have a more definite idea about what is and isn't happening, in terms of the future for Game of Thrones.
In the meantime, we have more pressing matters to deal with – like watching the battle for control over the Iron Throne rage on. One game at a time, my friend…
Here is the official HBO press release confirming the fourth season on Game of Thrones:
HBO has renewed GAME OF THRONES for a fourth season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming.
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, GAME OF THRONES is an epic story of treachery and nobility set on the continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can last years, and only the lust for power is eternal. The Emmy®- and Golden Globe-winning series launched its ten-episode third season Sunday, March 31 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, with other episodes debuting subsequent Sundays at the same time.
Among the early critical praise for the third season, the Hollywood Reporter called GAME OF THRONES "addictive and outstanding," while Newsday termed the series "superb," awarding the show an A+. The Chicago Tribune hailed the show as "spellbinding" and the Washington Post described it as "masterful."
According to early data, GAME OF THRONES' season three premiere March 31 on HBO topped the series' highs, with record viewership for both the 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) airing and gross audience across the three plays. At 9:00 p.m., it averaged 4.4 million viewers, outperforming (+4%) the previous high of 4.2 million viewers from last season's finale. GAMES OF THRONES improved 13% in comparison to last season's premiere of 3.9 million viewers. Across the three plays for the night, 6.7 million viewers tuned in, surpassing last season's debut night of 6.3 million viewers by 7%. Last season, GAME OF THRONES had an average gross audience (HBO linear plays + HBO On Demand/HBO GO + DVR) of 11.6 million viewers.
Game of Thrones continues next Sunday with "Dark Wings, Dark Words" @9pm on HBO.

Thanksgiving Wine Recommendations
It's time to recommend some Virginia wines to go with your Thanksgiving meal. Watch the short video to see which wines we are recommending this year.
Vacanti Wine Glasses
We try out the new Vacanti Wine Glasses with a wonderful wine for Virginia Wine Month.
Barboursville Vineyards 2009 Octagon
Recently we had the Barboursville Vineyards 2009 Octagon for dinner. Here's a short video of our impressions.
Local Vacation to Virginia Wine Country
Paul and I opted not to travel too far this summer and decided instead to enjoy summer fun in the local area. For us, this always includes a visit to Virginia wine country, and our focus this past weekend was the Monticello AVA. Read on to discover our favorites at the wineries which we visited.
Day 1 of our trip included tastings at three wineries: Keswick Vineyards, First Colony, and Michael Shaps Wineworks.
Keswick Vineyards: Stephen Barnard is one of our favorite winemakers in the state, and our tasting here is one that we always anticipate with eagerness. A summer hit for any crowd or event has to be the 2016 V2, an blend of Verdejo (80%) and Vidal Blanc (20%). Its fruity palate makes for a wine that is perfect on its own on a very warm day or with light cheeses and a baguette. My personal favorite was the 2015 Signature Series Reserve Viognier with its pear and tropical fruit notes. A fuller mouth feel makes this Viognier a perfect complement to any dish that features a cream sauce. Serve with seafood, poultry or pork and accompany with a mango relish—-an ideal match at the dinner table! Of the red wines, it was easy to enjoy the superb 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve with its smoky aromas and flavors of black currants, dark plums and oaky nuances. Sparkling lovers should also try the Amelie Black label Chardonnay and the Amelie Sparkling Rose made from the Norton grape.
After our tasting, Stephen Barnard invited us to taste a few wines still in barrels in the barrel room. We tasted 2016s of Chardonnay, Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend and a 2015 100% Cabernet Sauvignon which was Paul's favorite from the barrels. When asked about food and wine pairings, Stephen had this to say:
First Colony Winery: This was our second tasting on Day 1, and I must admit that we were pleased with the improvements in the winemaking here. Gavin Baum, assistant winemaker, conducted our tasting (and answered our pesky questions, too!). The 2015 Riesling Reserve can be described as summer in a bottle with its floral aromas and notes of peach and orange zest. My nod for favorite white wine was the Burgundian-style 2015 Chardonnay Estate Reserve; I appreciated its aromas of chamomile, lemon zest, and wet stone. Shellfish came to mind as a food pairing—-oysters, scallops, crab, etc. Paul preferred the creamier 2016 Viognier with its peach notes and mango/tropical fruit flavors. Our favorite red wine was the 2015 Meritage; buy now but enjoy later with a fall or winter menu. If impatient, serve with grilled steaks and roasted veggies.
Michael Shaps Wineworks: Our last tasting for the day—-I look forward to Shaps' Viognier whenever we plan to visit the Wineworks, and the 2016 vintage did not disappoint. Peach and wet stone characteristics were complemented by a fuller mouth feel and tropical fruit palate. Paul was captivated by the 2015 Merlot and noted its elements of smoke and dark cherry; he made note of its rounder mouth feel and commented that he would enjoy this Merlot with grilled lean beef. Michael Shaps also crafts wines from his Burgundy vineyards, and Pinot Noir lovers should enjoy the lighter-bodied 2014 Savigny-les-Beaune with a variety of food options to include grilled chicken, herbed pork chops, or a simple platter of sliced deli meats and cheeses.
Day 1 of our tasting through the Monticello AVA was our favorite of the trip. We made certain to purchase bottles of our favorites to enjoy at home. Be certain to visit these Virginia wineries to collect your own favorite pours; however, be sure to mention that Virginia Wine Time sent you!
Slater Run Vineyards
We had the chance to sit down with Katell Griaud, the winemaker at Slater Run Vineyards, to talk about winemaking in Virginia. Check out the video.
Cab Vertical at Breaux Vineyards
We're back! A few weeks ago we went to the Cabernet Vertical with our wine friend Susan McHenry. Here's a short video of our experience.

Huffing and Puffery: Applications Dive
Guess what announcement came out of the Office of Public Affairs on the Saturday morning of Winter Carnival? Applications for the Class of 2018 dropped by a whopping 14%, and the College admit rate will rise this year from 10% to 11%. These numbers are disastrous for the College, and they could hurt our ranking with U.S. News.
However, let's take a look at the College's press release on the topic, a good example of modern PR. While it's an energetic effort to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, in this case all one is left with is pigskin:
In a year when quality trumps quantity, Dartmouth's 19,235 applicants for next year's entering Class of 2018 are the most accomplished and most diverse in the College's history. This year's total is Dartmouth's fourth-largest pool of undergraduate applicants, but a drop from totals the previous two years.
Now there's a great lead: "the most accomplished" class is a claim that we cannot possibly verify or dispute. Admissions can always begin a press release with that claim, and, in fact, it always does. "Best class ever" is just the flip side of the trope flung at 'shmen by upperclassmen. And, at first glance, the absolute number of applicants does seems large, and the spin doctors cleverly put it in some kind of context by citing the fact that it is the fourth highest number of applicants ever — but the truth of the matter lies in the real context: the figure is 14.2% below the Class of 2017's number, and 16.8% below the number of applicants for the Class of 2016. That's one sixth fewer applicants.
In putting a class together, the most important factor is the quality of the applicants. We are incredibly fortunate to have received applications from the most diverse, most academically outstanding group of aspiring students who have ever applied to Dartmouth," says Maria Laskaris, dean of admissions and financial aid. "We are thrilled by the level of achievement and anticipate some very difficult decisions before we can offer admission to just over 11 percent of these applicants."
Ahh, Admissions Director Maria Laskaris '84's tortured syntax always makes for happy reading: applause all around for the "most academically outstanding group" and their thrilling "level of achievement" — but, needless to say, no proof is adduced. Higher SAT scores? More Nobel Prizes or Olympic medals? More valedictorians? Who knows? We'll have to take Maria's word for this assertion.
But then comes the kicker at the very end of the happy paragraph: "… we can offer admission to just over 11 percent of these applicants," even though last year we admitted 10.4% of the applicants to the Class of 2017. Ouch.
The unexpected decrease in the size of this year's outstanding applicant pool, which is down about 14 percent from 2013, has prompted College officials to conduct a survey of non-applicants and undertake careful study to determine the causes behind the fluctuations in the number of applications received. The results of the study will be shared with the community.
I can't wait. Do you think that these sad results have anything to do with Dartmouth's series of nationally reported embarrassments over the past two years? Duh. A local French friend, who announced to us out of the blue that she was applying to Stanford and four Ivies, shied away from applying to Dartmouth "à cause de toutes les scandales." If a French high school student is aware of the mess, you can be sure that high school counselors throughout the United States have been talking about the College, too, and not positively.
Like Harvard, which recently announced its admissions figures, Dartmouth appears to have fewer applicants from the Northeast, the Midwest, and abroad. Some of this may be driven by a well-documented nationwide demographic shift, which is resulting in fewer high school graduates going to college nationally and with those who do tending to attend a school close to their home. About 80 percent of college freshmen attend college within 200 miles of their home, and 90 percent remain within 500 miles. Given that New England is losing college-bound population, this suggests that the application numbers may be a result of broader trends.
So we are just like Harvard, eh, subject to the slings and arrows of a "nationwide demographic shift"? Then how come Harvard's applications are only down 2.1% compared to last year, and 0.02% compared to the year before? Somehow these pesky little numbers don't make it into the press release. Hmmm. I wonder why those nationwide demographic shifts have hit the Green so much harder than the Crimson.
Echoing sentiment expressed by President Phil Hanlon '77 in a meeting with alumni leaders Friday, Senior Vice President for Public Affairs Tommy Bruce commented, "While we are thrilled to have another exceptionally strong pool of potential students, we take the decline in applications seriously and are investigating the causes. Some might be quick to point to our location, or the public debates about affordability and the quality of student life that affect many college campuses, including our own. The fact, however, is that there are broader issues, from demographics to the rising popularity of pre-professional programs in the wake of the financial crisis, that may be playing a substantial role. In the long-term interests of the College, any actions we take will be based on solid evidence.
And just from where is that solid evidence going to come? Is someone going to interview all of the people who did not apply to the College? That'll be tough. Beyond the smokescreen of this press release, we all know the real reasons for the drop in applications.
"Ultimately, our goal is to assemble a bright, talented, and diverse class that will excel under Dartmouth's high standards—not to win an application arms race. We will achieve that goal easily."
Needless to say, had applications been up, the statistic would be trumpeted as evidence of just how wonderful a job the administration is doing. But as soon as things go south, hey, who needs statistics? When applications peaked two years ago, before the scandals hit, Maria explained the College's success in attracting interest from exceptional high school students:
"Dartmouth remains an attractive option for students who relish access to the array of research opportunities to work side-by-side with our faculty, our broad range of foreign study programs, and the exceptional teaching that takes place on campus every day," she continues. "Those factors as well as the College's fully need-blind admissions process and our commitment to making higher education attainable for students coming from families earning less than $75,000 are what continue to make Dartmouth a desirable choice for students each year."
Has anything changed since then?
Addendum: The D's story today graphs how the Ivies fared this year in eliciting applications:
Hmm. The College's press release only looked at Harvard's figures and noted the slight drop in applications in Cambridge. Funny enough, all of the other Ivies who have reported their number of applicants to date were up on the year. Seems like that "nationwide demographic shift" really only affected the College in a serious way. How interesting.
Addendum: A thoughtful undergraduate writes in:
If this drop in applications isn't a wake-up call, then I don't know what is. Some of my peers have pointed to the new AP policy as one of the primary reasons for the drop, and I agree to an extent. As the second-most expensive Ivy League school with the strictest policy against AP credit/placement, I can see why financial reasons may have driven some students away from applying. Yet this drop in numbers also seems to suggest that the current campus climate isn't attracting all of the best student talent that it could.
How do we solve this problem? The approach must be two-fold. We must invest more in student life and faculty initiatives. I don't see a feasible way to do this other than dramatically cutting administrative expenses. Secondly, we must drive students to apply here in the first place. Having an unnecessarily restrictive AP policy certainly isn't helping our case, but we should do more in terms of outreach to potential applicants (e.g. those from underrepresented areas). Perhaps we could automatically waive application fees for families making less than $100,000 (or another number that is greater than our current policy). I know that Dimensions sold me as a prospective student, and I believe that this is also the case for many students who eventually enrolled.
I personally believe that President Hanlon has a solid vision for Dartmouth, but a moderate approach won't do much to counter the steadily declining reputation of the College. We need an inspiring leader.

From the classroom to the courtroom; a New Haven teacher is accused of having sex with one of her students.
On Monday, Jennifer Frechette, a Wilbur Cross High School drama teacher, faced a judge.
According to an arrest warrant, two security officers at the school caught the two in a dressing room, and what they saw made them suspicious.
Back in January, school security officers found Frechette and a student in a darkened dressing room, behind a costume rack, the warrant said.
Police say the teen jumped up and left, but that Frechette appeared to be hiding.
"Also in the room on the floor were battery operated 'tea light' candles, a mat that was made to look like a bed with pillows, a quilt, and a 'Beats' headphone case that contained several unused condoms," the warrant said.
As security waited for police to arrive, "He stated how Frechette was spontaneously uttering 'nothing happened', 'what was I thinking', 'I'm going to lose my job'," court documents said.
After first denying anything was going on, the teen allegedly told police, he and Frechette often texted each other about having sex and had planned to have sex that evening.
The warrant goes on to state the teen later said Frechette performed oral sex on him, on a couch in her classroom, back in December.

Tuberculosis (PPD) Testing is available at both office locations. An appointment is required:
- Monday in Arnold Location - (636) 282-1010
- Tuesday in Hillsboro Location - (636) 797-3737
- Return in 48 hours to have test read
Basic TB Facts:
Tuberculosis, also known as "TB" is caused by the bacterium called Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. TB disease can be fatal if not treated properly.
How TB is Spread:
TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The TB bacteria are put into the air when a person with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.
Latent TB Infection and TB Disease:
Not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick. As a result, two TB-related conditions exist. Latent TB infection and active TB disease.
Latent TB Infection:
In most people who breathe in TB bacteria and become infected, the body is able to fight the bacteria to stop them from growing. This is called latent TB infection or LTBI. People with latent TB infection do not feel sick and do not have any symptoms. The only sign of TB infection is a positive reaction to the tuberculin skin test. People with latent TB infection are not infectious and cannot spread TB bacteria to others. However, if TB bacteria become active in the body and multiply, the person will get sick with TB disease.
TB Disease:
When TB bacteria are active (multiplying in your body), this is called TB disease. People with TB disease may spread the bacteria to people they spend time with every day. Many who have latent TB infection never develop TB disease. For persons whose immune systems are weak, especially those with HIV infection, the risk of developing the TB disease is much higher than for persons with normal immune systems.

Turkey's size, wide variation in topography and altitude, and the country's location make it one of the most sought after locations for birdwatching. Situated at the juncture of Europe and Asia, Anatolia lies on the path of two major migration flyways. Turkey hosts an exceptionally rich and diverse avifauna: 460 species of bird have been recorded, of which at least 364 species are regularly seen. This accounts for 70% of European species. Doğa, since it is established in 2002, is working to enhance the birding community in Turkey and works closely with birdwatching groups and actively supports development of new groups.
Birders play an important role and often get to make real contributions to scientific knowledge. Today, much of what nature conservationists know about birds has come from the observations of dedicated bird watchers. KusBank is an internet-based spatial database on birds that allows birdwatchers from anywhere in Turkey to input and query data, download it in the desired format, and do further analyses. It provides a personalized Internet portal that helps build a community among birdwatchers and provide access to useful resources. Importantly, KusBank is the place where birdwatchers invest their bird data for conservation purposes.
Mid-winter Waterfowl Cencus
The mid-winter waterfowl census is held at the same time every year in all continents of the Northern Hemisphere. Wetlands International coordinates these global censuses. In each country a network of professional and amateur counters (birdwatchers) provide waterbird counts to the IWC. The objective is to observe the short and long-term trends in the populations of some waterfowl species in different countries and the winter distribution of these species, and to use this information in forming protection schemes both for birds and for habitats. Doğa's volunteers actively partake in mid-winter waterfowl census (MWC), being coordinated by the national MWC committee every year.
Birdwatching Events
Doğa, in cooperation with birdwatching groups, organizes the European BirdWatch Day, Turkey Bird Conference, World Sparrow Day and other events every year. To know more about the birding community in Turkey or join our work on birds please contact:

MILTON — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission filed these cases between March 3 and March 9 in Santa Rosa County:
Officer Hutchinson was patrolling the Blackwater State Forest when he saw a vehicle driving carelessly, almost striking his patrol vehicle.
After stopping the vehicle, he discovered that the passenger had a warrant for his arrest from Santa Rosa County.
He was arrested and transported to the Santa Rosa County Jail. The driver of the vehicle received a written warning for careless operation.
Officer Lewis was on patrol in Blackwater River State Forest when he detected the odor of cannabis emanating from a tent.
He heard people inside the tent and asked them to come outside and speak with him. One of the men admitted to smoking a cannabis cigarette and consented to a search of the tent.
Lewis located drug paraphernalia and a baggie that appeared to contain methamphetamine. A field test of the substance in the baggie was positive for methamphetamine.
The man was arrested for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of cannabis not more than 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was transported to the Santa Rosa County Jail and the drugs and paraphernalia were seized as evidence.
Officer Lewis saw a vehicle swerving all over the roadway and stopped the vehicle.
He detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the vehicle and on the driver's breath. During field sobriety tasks, the driver showed signs of impairment.
The driver was arrested for driving under the influence and transported to the Santa Rosa County Jail, where he tested at .163, more than twice the legal limit.
He was charged with operating a motor vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of 0.08 or above.
Officer Lewis was on patrol at the Webb Landing campsite in the Escambia River Wildlife Management Area when he saw a man and woman camping.
As the man was taking items out of his vehicle, a box commonly used to store drug paraphernalia was in plain sight. He asked the man about the box and the man admitted that there were pipes he used to smoke weed in the box.
The man consented to a search of the vehicle and three pipes with cannabis residue were found in the box. Lewis found another box that contained a glass pipe and a small baggie of methamphetamine.
Officer Jernigan arrived to assist. The officers located a large water bong used for smoking cannabis.
The man was arrested for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of drug paraphernalia and for an outstanding warrant out of Pinellas County.

Red Sox eyeing Japanese pitcherSeptember 11, 2008
Looks like the Red Sox are in the hunt to chase down another Japanese pitcher.
22-year old Tazawa Junichi has declared that he will sign with a MLB club next year, foregoing the amateur draft in Japan.
Tazawa throws a low 90's fastball, a 12-6 curve and a "shuuto," which can be described best as a slider. Teams interested are the Braves, Tigers, Pirates, Mets, Yankees and of course, the Red Sox.
Upon signing, Junichi will almost certainly see minor league time before debuting in the major leagues, although the time spent in the minors should be a contributing factor to which team he signs with.


text: On Kelly Clarkson's second album, the ex-cocktail waitress turned hitmaker embraces her rock side rather than the pop pageantry that put her on top of the American Idol heap. To that end, Clarkson recruited former Evanescence members Ben Moody and David Hodges to help write and produce, and on tracks such as "Because of You" and "Addicted," where the combination of a piano-led melody with roaring guitars rules, you'd swear you were listening to Amy Lee. Somehow, this style works for Clarkson: She comes off more Avril than Ashlee, especially on the album's best moment, the title track (which was, go figure, written by Lavigne). Unfortunately, Clarkson isn't ready to own this new sound. On the Max Martin-penned "Since U Been Gone," she conjures memories of Abba, and on "Hear Me," she channels Pat Benatar. You can't help but wonder: Who is the real Kelly Clarkson, and when will she stop wearing her big sister's hand-me-downs?

Note to husbands who need excuses to play the guitar with their buddies and to parents justifying the cost of their children's piano lessons: A new study from Northwestern University in Evanston says lifelong playing of musical instruments has a positive impact on the brain.
"Our neural timing slows as we age; we knew that," said Nina Kraus, a neuroscientist at Northwestern and principal investigator of its Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory. "Hearing what your spouse says when you're in a noisy restaurant, for example, is harder when you're older. But this study shows that musicians are faster at processing noise than non-musicians are. This shows us there is a biological impact of musical training."

Concerns grow about America's racial divide
WASHINGTON — It was hailed as the dawn of a "post-racial America," ushered in by the election of the first black president in a country still scarred by the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow and the battle for civil rights.
But recent incidents — including the shooting of an unarmed black teen by a white Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer — have revived concerns about America's racial divide.
Just a few short years after President Barack Obama's historic 2008 election, when many Americans believed the country had finally taken the upper hand over race, some are asking where the dream of a post-racial America went.
"I'm not so sure it ever existed," said law professor Athena Mutua of SUNY Buffalo Law School, whose work focuses on issues of race and the African American community.
Mutua said many Americans embraced the historical significance of Obama's White House win, creating the illusion of a colorblind society where racial issues were no longer a major concern.
"The whole country says, 'Wow, this is a euphoric moment. We've transcended our baggage,' and post-racialism was born with Obama's election," she told AFP.
"Of course, it wasn't real."
Mutua said reports at the time exaggerated the level of white backing for candidate Obama, giving the impression that the country had advanced further than it had.
"I think people painted that picture of wide support for Obama, but I think they overplay that. Obama did not get a majority of the whites in this country to vote for him. It was a high number, but certainly not a majority," she said.
And his election "stirred up all the unresolved issues in the country" among those reticent to racial change.
"His being there immediately galvanizes the opposite forces — stuff that's really tinged with racism," Mutua added.
The Trayvon Martin shooting is the latest flashpoint where race, which periodically flares up as a contentious national talking point in America, again seized the national spotlight.
The 17-year-old was shot dead in February by George Zimmerman, who told police he found the youth suspicious while patrolling a gated community in Sanford, Florida.
Civil rights advocates and black Americans who decried the slaying as a possible hate crime said it was an indictment of a racially insensitive criminal justice system that appeared ready to let an alleged white perpetrator walk free because the victim was black.
Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder in the youth's death, but only after weeks of national protests during which he was in hiding and the appointment of a special prosecutor to handle the case.
But beyond the teen's shooting, many Americans have been stunned to see the coarseness of the racially tinged debate leading into November's reelection battle in which Democrat Obama will square off against presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
In one incident, a judge earlier this year was forced to apologize after sending his colleagues a racially derogatory joke about Obama on his office email.
Many Americans also were taken aback by an anti-Obama bumper sticker that used a racial slur, becoming a hot seller on the Internet by urging voters "Don't Re-Nig in 2012."
Critics have accused some conservatives of using coded and racially-charged language, pointing, for example to Newt Gingrich's description on the campaign trail of Obama as America's best "food stamp president."
"People call that 'dog whistling.' You know that that's a racist remark, and he's not fooling anybody with that," Mutua said.
Republicans, however, bristle when accused of a racial animus in their dislike of Obama, saying that their qualms with the president have to do with his politics, not his skin color.
For his part, Obama has declined to enter the fray, denying that his race plays a role in the public's perception of who he is, or the work he is doing.
Johns Hopkins University assistant professor Lester Spence saw real signs of progress in Americans' "acceptance of difference," including in pop culture — even if he wouldn't term the changes "post-racial."
He cited the broad-based societal acceptance of African Americans as some of the country's most adored figures in music, media and popular culture, saying it had a role in bringing about broader shifts in attitudes.
"Racial attitudes are really complex," said Spence. "People love (hip hop artist) Jay-Z, they love Lil Wayne — people consume blackness every day somehow on TV," he said.
There are also great strides in the political sphere.
"At the national level, black people are being treated as citizens in a very different way than they were even just 10 years ago before the election of Obama," Spence said.
But at the local level, where incidents like the Martin shooting are investigated and prosecuted, "it still hasn't trickled down that far yet," he added.

Shrewsbury have revealed that the police and Football Association are to investigate allegations of racial abuse towards two of their players during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Hartlepool.
Marvin Morgan, who scored both Shrewsbury's goals, and Jermaine Grandison were allegedly subjected to racial comments by a section of the home support in the first half at Victoria Park.
A statement from the club read: "Shrewsbury Town FC can confirm that [the manager] Graham Turner and players Marvin Morgan, Jermaine Grandison and captain Matt Richards were called into the referee's room where discussions took place at half-time on Saturday regarding racial comments directed at the players.
"We understand the referee [Carl Boyeson] included the conversations in his match report to the Football League. The matter is now subject to a police and FA investigation and no further statements will be made."
Hartlepool did not want to comment on the incident. An FA spokesman said: "We are aware of it and we are making inquiries."

The Detroit auto show has come a long way from the first one at Beller's beer garden in 1907 as part of a gun expo.
For decades later, the auto show was but a regional affair that the Detroit Auto Dealers Assn. staged to highlight vehicles currently in their showrooms.
I went there as a kid with pals, checking out cars – dream cars every one since we were years away from driver's licenses – and seeing how many freebie giveaways we could collect at the various display booths.
It was the Motor City's annual event for the hometown crowd.
But in 1989, four visionary dealers and Keith Crain, the head of Automotive News, decided to turn it into an international affair.
"They traveled the world going to auto shows – Tokyo, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva – and said, 'We can do this here,'" says dealer Doug Fox, co-chairman of the show that currently is underway.
What happened after their return home sounds like a resurrection story of sorts.
"They said, 'To do this, we have to kill the Detroit auto show. It has to die,'" recalls Fox. "So they announced the death of the Detroit show."
Well, that woke the town up, anyway. Seventy-two hours after that obit, they heralded the birth of the North American International Auto Show.
It's a pretty big deal now. Thousands of auto journalists from around the world attend unveilings by auto makers from around the world. The Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, a Paris-based alliance, sanctions the event. Ooh-la-la.
Yet some locals think it's time to change the name back to just the Detroit Auto Show.
"It will and should remain a pivotal show," says automotive commentator Peter DeLorenzo.
But organizers should now kill the mouthful that is the North American International Auto Show, he says. "Every major show in the world goes by the name of the city it is in. It's time to come back full circle and call it the Detroit Auto Show or the Detroit Motor Show."
The latter sounds too British for an American event, but I see his point.
Others don't. A colleague claims "Detroit" is toxic as a brand, what with the city's reputation for urban dysfunction and decay. (Some of it true, much of it not.) Putting "Detroit" in the name of anything would scare people off, he says.
But DeLorenzo, whose father was a General Motors vice president years ago, says that if Detroit comes back, "and we hope it does," one way to start is by reclaiming the name of its legendary auto show.

loss or results (ABI prism 7000) - (Nov/22/2012 )
Dear Guys,
I am new in PCR, I am using Bioapplied prism 7000
Today was my third repetition for the same experiment.
My first time, I was in a hurry, so closed the machine and program after finish without looking to the results. Next day, I did not find any good amplification plots, small irregular curves.
Ok I said it is my first time, lets repeat it again.
So I repeated it, again, the same experiment, after finish, I looked at the amplification plots and it was there, regarding melting curve it was fine not perfect but ok.
then I closed PC, and machine.
However, next day I did not find what I saw, no amplification plots at all, small irregular curves..
I asked my lab-mates if they faced a similar problem with that machine.
they said no.
SO I said ok, perhaps I am a little bit crazy,, but not to the delusions level, any way I would repeat it again.
Then I repeated the experiment today again.
I looked at the amplification plots and it were there for the tests.
Then close the program, ok, and reopen it, they are gone!!!!
small irregular curves are there only for tests.
Please I am gonna be mad,,, where are my curves??
does any one have a similar experience.
Did I miss something during machine preparation(I made my lab-mate track all my steps to set machine after second experiment)?? If I did not save my experiment, the machine will not start measuring.
what I do for analysis, I just select my wells in plate then click on results, and click on amplification plots and it is there??
Another thing, when I tried to see Standard curve I could not??? during my first observation, so there were good amplification plots but no standard curve at all.
after close and open, I use only 6 STD, how I can see 8 red points in standard curve??
please help me as I will be crazy????
when I close the exp, I said dont save, so it should be the original one??
is it possible that machine show me false results after the experiment?? but when I close program reopen, the result is true??
Please I need some opinion of this machine user
Please help or I will be mad, and I am already half mad today.
it's ok Madelin...no need to go crazy over this, you just need to get a better grip on the use of the SDS software. Were you able to open your saved data bec I didn't understand what you meant about the "small irregular curves are there only for tests..." and you're right, as long as you save your plate document (as a .sds file) before the run, your results are there. Besides, even if you forget to do this, the machine will prod you to save before it will proceed to run. I have used the ABI 7500 but it shldn't be so different. If you didn't save and export your results when you analyzed them immediately after the run, you probably need to analyse them again (green arrow on the tool bar > results tab > amplification plots, standard curve, dissociation etc subtabs) and don't forget to highlight all the wells that you want to view and choose the detector (if applicable). Just play with the software so you can get comfortable in using it....
I am very grateful for ur reply.
I ahve tried to play with my program.
However, I could not get the good graphs I saw before.
but it is better now
I have upload some photos that for my standard House keeping gene.
What I can see, that it is not good Rt-PCR data??
in dissociation curve, I can`t see one peak but several small peaks.
In Standard curve, I can see alot of red points?? what is this??? I am using only 6 samples, I should see six point even if my graph is not good.
what do u think??
If u have any comment please share it with me
Can you post the raw data curve? This looks like you have low signal/no signal at all.
Trof on Tue Nov 27 09:32:13 2012 said:

yup, it looks like it but she said that she saw nice plots when she analysed immediately after the run....
@Madelin: can you post the plate subtab screen shot or the report for your GAPDH (so we'd be able to see the results- CT values, quantity, Tm etc)...re: standard curve- you have 6 points in duplicates? I don't think the software can add more as long as you tasked correctly and input the corresponding quantity, dilution etc.
Dear Guys,
Thanks for ur nice and helpful suggestion.
I have upload the report for this standard.
Regarding STD curve, I have only 10 points??? not twelve, I used 6 samples, so in duplicate in should be 12, I can count 10 point only.
In my previous experiment, I could see 8 points only (not 6 or 12 or 10 like these).
Yes, I guess I have no good results at all, but this is standard, not test????
test looks like it
Thank u

What to do if you have a complaint about a removal or storage company:
If you have a complaint about a removal or storage company, that is a member of the scheme, your first step is to complain directly to the company, setting out your complaint in writing.
The company will deal with it in line with their normal complaints procedures. You should ensure that you keep all relevant contracts and letters. You or the company, or both may first refer the complaint to the company's trade body.
If the outcome then proves unsatisfactory, you can refer the matter to the Removals Industry Ombudsman.
What kind of complaints can the Ombudsman consider?
The Ombudsman can consider complaints such as:
• Breaches of contract. e.g. a failure to provide a service to the standard contracted or excessive charges over and above what was agreed.
• Allegations of unprofessional or inefficient conduct
• Breaches of the Code of Practice of the National Guild of Removers & Storers
• Substantial delays in dealing with your complaint
The Ombudsman cannot deal with:
• Any complaint against a non-member of the Scheme
• Insurance matters
• Complaints which are, or have been, dealt with by the Court or another body
• A complaint sent to the Ombudsman more than 12 months after your complaint went through the internal complaints procedure of the company
• Vexatious complaints
What can the Ombudsman do?
The role of the Ombudsman is to settle disputes by agreement between the parties, or by recommending an award of compensation, or by deciding that the circumstances do not warrant any further action.
How do I make a complaint to the Ombudsman?
Contact the Office of the Removal Industry Ombudsman Scheme and ask for a Complaint Form, or, print off the form on this web-site, and post or email it to the address below. Once received, together with all relevant documentation from the National Guild of Removers & Storers (if they have been involved), the complaint will be considered as quickly as possible. Evidence must be submitted in writing; there is no hearing. There is no cost to the complainant.
What will happen then?
The Ombudsman, after acknowledging receipt of your complaint, will consider your case carefully, in a fair and even-handed manner. Further investigations may be made. It may be possible to settle the dispute by agreement at this stage, but if not the Ombudsman will send all parties the Determination.
The Ombudsman's decision.
The National Guild of Removers & Storers member has agreed to be bound by the Ombudsman's decision, but the consumer is not. The claimant may accept it, in full and final settlement of the dispute, or reject it. The right to take legal action will not have been affected and the remover will no longer be bound by the determination.
The Ombudsman will not transmit or publish any confidential information except where required to do so by the court.
Who is the Ombudsman?
Tony Kaye was appointed as Ombudsman in June 2015. He is independent of any removal company or organisation.
How do I know if my remover is a member of the scheme?
Your original quotation from the removal company should indicate their membership. The link to members on this site may be of help. If in doubt, contact the Office of the Ombudsman, below:
PO Box 1535,
High Wycombe,
See links below to download the guidance document 'Submitting a case to the Ombudsman'.
There are two versions of the form available. One for those of you who access Microsoft word documents and the other for those of you who have Adobe Acrobat reader. If you have neither visit http://www.adobe.com to download the free acrobat reader software.

Instant coffee in the batter intensifies the chocolate flavor. Beating the sugar and eggs together gives the baked brownies a crackly surface.

This is best served with whole wheat fettucini. Goes well with chicken or salmon. Or simply serve as is for a meatless meal that is quite filling. Add a side of steamed broccoli and mushrooms and serve strawberries topped with whipped cream for desert.Submitted by BUDGETMOM
I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 284 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!Submitted by STEPH2003
Submitted by MOM2EMENDREW
This is a makeover of Cracker Barrel's Chicken & Dumplings. My aunt had created the original recipe which called for 1.75 lb chicken and whole milk. It was always one of my families favorite dinners that I made once in a while on special Sundays. Recently, I decided to try a healthier version of it with lower calories, cholesterol & sodium to see if it would pass the "family test". It did! They couldn't tell the difference. The healthy version of this recipe went down 76 calories, 31mg cholosterol & 1104 mg of sodium per serving.
On a side note, I know some people who use prepackaged biscuit dough to make their dumplings to make it easier but I don't like the taste of the perservatives because it makes the whole recipe taste like it came out of can. There is nothing like homemade!

Although it can take a little time to get the chicken off the bones, it's SO worth it! Also, if you don't want to use a whole chicken or shredding it just isn't your thing, you can use chicken parts or whole breasts instead, cut off the big chunks, and dice or shred them. They'll take less cooking time, too.
There's nothing better for you, especially when ONLY chicken soup will do! It's not ambrosia (nectar of the gods), but it's as close as I can get! I appreciate your feedback and input. Enjoy! SparkPeople rocks my world! Nancy, a/k/a KEEPITMOVINGSubmitted by KEEPITMOVING

Brand Names
Novantrone® (There may be other names for this medication.)
How is it Administered?
Your medication will be given by injection into a vein (intravenous or IV), usually in your arm, wrist, hand or chest.
Why am I Taking Mitoxantrone?
Mitoxantrone is used with steroid medications for men with advanced prostate cancer who did not respond to hormone therapy. It is also used to treat leukemia (AML), breast cancer, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
How Does it Work?
Cancers are diseases in which abnormal cells reproduce uncontrollably. Your chemo schedule is based upon:
- your cancer type and how fast the cancer cells reproduce
- the phase of the cell cycle when the chemo is most effective — the resting, growing, or reproduction phases
With these factors in mind, your doctors create a chemo schedule to give each medication when it will do the most damage to the cancer cells.
Mitoxantrone is an antitumor antibiotic, in a class of drugs called anthracenediones. It interferes with the cancer cells' reproduction and slows or stops the growth of the cancer.
Many chemo medications identify and attack cancer cells because they reproduce quickly. Some cells in your body normally reproduce quickly and they are likely to be damaged/destroyed by chemo. These normal cells will eventually grow back and be healthy. During treatment, however, you may experience side effects from chemo's effects on these cells.

64th Annual Emmy Awards
Your Emmy Awards Viewing Highlights
Sunday night's Emmy broadcast should be a great night for grownups — viewers and nominees alike. Will those cocktail-swilling '60s Manhattanites from Mad Men bring home a record-breaking fifth win for Outstanding Drama Series? Or might they be overtaken the countesses and maids of Downton Abbey? The British melodrama won last year's mini-series Emmy for its first season, but is competing this year in the drama series category. It's a close call – but I'm betting on Downton, and I'm …

On Further Reflection…
(Photo by Reuters/Corbis via Boston Globe)
Well, this is a fine "how do you do" this morning: (via Glenn)
Democrats have allowed Republicans to fight among themselves over the [FISA and Guantanamo] issues, and appear willing to allow the issues to come to a vote rather than risk charges of political obstructionism in an election season . . . .
The administration had also faced resistance over the N.S.A. wiretapping program. The Democrats had bottled up the administration's proposals, saying Congress was being forced to legislate "in the dark" about a secret program that few members had been briefed on. They have repeatedly used procedural maneuvers to block the proposals from coming to a vote in the Judiciary Committee, drawing accusations of obstructionism from Republicans.
But Democrats, who appeared to realize the risk of being accused of thwarting debate on national security matters, did not stand in the way of the committee vote on Wednesday.
I don't know about you guys, but I have had it with the "sit on our hands" approach to democracy. How about this, just as a fun little experiment — how about we get up off of our butts and DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE CONSTITUTION. (Sorry about the shouting. I'm a bit miffed.)
We have done a lot of posts on the FISA issue and the importance of living up to our responsibility to safeguard our Constitution — and the reasons that we were set up to be a nation of laws. There is a good reason for all the posts. It is important. And it is our legacy to future generations that we honor the principles on which our nation was founded.
That includes not setting the President up as a king — you know, the whole reason we fought the Revolutionary War in the first place, tyranny and imposition of will without adequate representation and all that. (Doesn't anyone in public office read history or political philosophy?)
What it requires is that we safeguard these rights every single day. Al Gore had it absolutely on the money in his speech back in January, and I want to re-post a segment of it here for everyone:
A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government. Our Founding Fathers were adamant that they had established a government of laws and not men. Indeed, they recognized that the structure of government they had enshrined in our Constitution – our system of checks and balances – was designed with a central purpose of ensuring that it would govern through the rule of law. As John Adams said: "The executive shall never exercise the legislative and judicial powers, or either of them, to the end that it may be a government of laws and not of men."
An executive who arrogates to himself the power to ignore the legitimate legislative directives of the Congress or to act free of the check of the judiciary becomes the central threat that the Founders sought to nullify in the Constitution – an all-powerful executive too reminiscent of the King from whom they had broken free. In the words of James Madison, "the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
Thomas Paine, whose pamphlet, "On Common Sense" ignited the American Revolution, succinctly described America's alternative. Here, he said, we intended to make certain that "the law is king."
Vigilant adherence to the rule of law strengthens our democracy and strengthens America. It ensures that those who govern us operate within our constitutional structure, which means that our democratic institutions play their indispensable role in shaping policy and determining the direction of our nation. It means that the people of this nation ultimately determine its course and not executive officials operating in secret without constraint.
The rule of law makes us stronger by ensuring that decisions will be tested, studied, reviewed and examined through the processes of government that are designed to improve policy. And the knowledge that they will be reviewed prevents over-reaching and checks the accretion of power.
Acting as a rubber stamp for Presidential power grabs is NOT what was intended by the Founders. What was intended was that members of Congress would act as a check and balance on Presidential overreach, just as the Presidential veto power was to be the balancing test for Congressional overstepping. And the power of the judiciary to overrule laws and Presidential action on Constitutional grounds was the check on both with regard to collusion between the other two branches.
I hope that Glenn is correct, and that Democrats allowed the Specter bill through the Judiciary Committee in some deal that was cut to also allow the Feinstein/Specter bill through to the floor. Between the two, the Feinstein/Specter bill is far superior — and ought to be the focus of our efforts going forward. The Specter bill is odious, to say the least, and must be stopped — the President of the United States is not to be given unfettered power, with no accountability, and he certainly should not be handed this sort of power lightly. His attempt to become a "unilateral executive" must be opposed, bot just for this presidency, but for all the generations to follow.
I'll have more on this in a bit, as I do a bit of digging and figure out what action would be helpful. In the meantime, try calling your Senators and voicing your objections to the Specter bill and your support for the Feinstein/Specter alternative. You can call via the Capitol switcboard at 888-355-3588 or find specific Senator office information here.
The bottom line: do you trust George Bush? My answer: no.

EMPLOYEES at Cinnamon Fringe in Ellon are getting set for the journey of their life, with a 200-mile relay row - the equivalent of rowing from Peterhead to Shetland.
The eight ladies participating are steeling themselves for the event, which will raise funds for Children in Need, with two rowing machines in the shop for the event overnight between Saturday and Sunday.
Karen Groat, who with Sunniva Pottinger comes from Shetland, told the Times that the rowing would be hard work.
"We're starting after work on Saturday night in shifts of two at a time," she said.
"It'll be a bit like a relay, so everyone gets a chance to recuperate.
Sunniva added: "It's something a bit different - we don't think it's been done before.
"We aren't absolutely certain of the exact distance between Peterhead and Sumburgh as the crow flies, but it's between 180 and 210 miles or so.
"We don't have a specific target in mind, we're just hoping to raise as much money as possible for Children in Need.
"We hope to finish sometime on Sunday morning.
Hayley Coghill, who works at Cinnamon fringe, will be participating, She added: "While I'm not looking forward to it, I'm sure it'll be a good laugh and it is for a very good cause."
The ladies at Cinnamon Fringe have taken part in charity fundraising events before, including a Moonwalk in Edinburgh in aid of Breast cancer, and similar fundraising efforts for Children in Need last year.
Anyone interested in sponsoring the ladies on their epic indoor adventure can do so at the Cinnamon Fringe reception.

Aside from the obvious wisdom of not using public drinking water as a vehicle to deliver highly cumulative people-treatment substances, consider the following:
Sound off on the important issues at
1. Ninety percent of tooth decay occurs where fluoridation was never claimed to be effective: the pits and fissures of teeth, in other words, the chewing surfaces of the molars. Thus, for decades, dentists have been applying plastic sealants to these surfaces. A 1929 study by Frederick McKay showed that 95 percent of tooth decay occurred in the pits and fissures of molars.
2. In 1993, the Journal of Public Health Dentistry reported, "50 percent of U.S. Head Start children have had baby bottle tooth decay." Fluoridation does not help here either. Use of Sippy Cups is extending this devastating decay to near epidemic levels among poor children. A Denver Post article published April 13, 2004, illustrates this point. Denver has been fluoridated since 1954, and one dentist reported 300 cases a year of this rampant decay caused by high levels of tooth-surface bacteria.
3. Fluoride's effect is now claimed to be topical (such as toothpaste) rather than by ingestion. "Fluoride incorporated during tooth development is insufficient to play a significant role in caries (cavities) protection," according to the Journal of the American Dental Association in July 2000. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention came to the same conclusion in October 1999.
4. In establishing the lethal dose for test animals, it took 20 times more natural occurring calcium fluoride to kill 50 percent of the adult guinea pigs than it took for any of the three water fluoridation chemicals.
5. An Aug. 12, 1992, Journal of the American Medical Association study showed that hip fractures were doubled for women at age 75 if they drank fluoridated tap water for a 20 year span prior to their menopause when bone turnover is still rapidly depositing the fluoride into new bone. The men's increase in hip fractures was 41 percent. These figures only reflect the 50 percent accumulation into adult bone. Imagine what this figure would have been had these women been raised on fluoridated water since infancy wherein fluoride accumulation is 87 percent.
"The Fluoride Deception," a 2004 book based on documents declassified in 1995, reveals the details of this 1950s public health blunder. The Web site www.fluoridealert.org posts more than a dozen reviews of this long overdue investigative report.

Internet-connected Samsung TVs Vulnerable To Hackers
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports - Your Universe Online
Samsung Smart TVs connected to the Internet are vulnerable to exploits by remote hackers, security researchers said on Wednesday.Luigi Auriemma, a researcher with Malta-based security firm ReVuln, uncovered the vulnerability, which exists in most Samsung models but particularly the Samsung TV LED 3D.
The flaw makes it easy for hackers to locate the television´s IP address on the Internet, which can then be used to remotely access the device and gain the same level of control as someone sitting right next to the TV.
Once a hacker has remote access, they could then steal data or install malicious code on the TV, Auriemma said.
The hack exploits bugs in features that allow Samsung TV owners to install Skype, Pandora, and other types of apps on their devices.
Auriemma released a demonstration video showing how a "vulnerability for such devices can be used to retrieve sensitive information, monitor and root the device."
These exploits allow a hacker to access remote files and information (including viewing history), as well as steal data on USB drives attached to the compromised TV.
"This specific vulnerability affects almost all the Samsung televisions of the latest generations, so multiple models," Auriemma told The Register.
"We plan to invest more time and effort on the home devices security in the near future testing the products of many other vendors (we chose Samsung because it's the current market leader in this sector) and moreover finding new types of attacks and ways to use such vulnerabilities. The televisions are just the beginning."
ReVuln says it won´t disclose any additional details about the flaw, but will sell information about the vulnerability rather than report them to equipment manufacturers, in order to accelerate the development of a fix.
Security vulnerabilities, such as the one Auriemma uncovered, in advanced televisions have drawn serious interest in recent months.
In January, Adam Gowdiak of Polish security research start-up Security Explorations exposed a potential method for infecting set-top boxes with malware. The attack allowed hackers to either steal or share a satellite signal from a pay-TV subscriber.
The same mechanism could be used to capture high-definition content for later distribution over the Web.
Gowdiak presented the details about the vulnerability at the Hack In The Box Security Conference in May, and has since developed proof-of-concept malware showing how to defeat the Conax conditional access system -- the cryptographic technology aimed at preventing this type of attack.
Security Explorations said all four satellite receivers (ITI5800S, ITI5800SX, ITI2850ST, ITI2849ST) tested in its lab, each manufactured by Advanced Digital Broadcast for ITI Neovision, are allegedly vulnerable, The Register reported.
Each implements Conax conditional access using a security feature known as chipset pairing. Security Explorations said all of the vulnerabilities it uncovered centered on flaws in this mechanism.
Unlike ReVuln, Security Explorations notified the parties that either supplied or used the affected technology.
Set-top boxes and smart TVs are typically thought to be impervious to hackers, but in reality, televisions are becoming more and more like PCs and other devices in terms of their security vulnerability.
ARS Technica reported that the vulnerability discovered by Auriemma does not exist for TVs behind a router that uses network address translation, although it might be possible to use exploits based on IPv6 to bypass that protection.

Recently there has been some chatter about the redecoration of Superintendent Kirsten Vital's offices. It seemed like a fairly easy thing to verify or refute, but seeing that no one was really talking about I figured I might as well look into it before it becomes some self-sustaining rumor that becomes some fact that everyone goes around repeating but no one actually makes sure is true or not.
So I asked and the person I asked mentioned that it probably would be more illuminating if I actually went down to the office myself to take a look see, the comment was that no one who actually visited the office would never suggest that there was a lavish redecoration. Since I had some free time on Monday, I decided to make that field trip down to the district offices. Let's just say I wandered around the halls aimlessly for a few minutes feeling like I was going to get in trouble from the Principal for being out of class. Yes, that is how the area around the District Offices feels.

Xian Lim and Kim Chiu. File photo At the sidelines of a fashion show held Tuesday night at the ongoing Philippine Fashion Week, Lim spoke to reporters about the reunion project of Chiu and Anderson in Star Cinema's "24/7 In Love," which is set to hit theaters nationwide on November 21. The romantic-comedy movie is the 20th anniversary film offering of ABS-CBN's talent management outfit Star Magic. It will also see the first onscreen team-up of Anderson and Chiu since appearing together in "Till My Heartaches End" in 2010. "Okay naman. Prior to 'KimXi' naman, 'Kimerald' was first," Lim told ABS-CBN News, when asked for his comment on Chiu being paired anew with her fellow "Pinoy Big Brother" teen housemate. "Noong nasa States pa lang ako, pinapanood ko na ang 'Kimerald' sa tambalan nilang 'My Girl.' So nakakatuwang nagbalik sila, and I can admit na naging fan naman ako eh," he added. After her breakup with Anderson in 2010, Chiu was paired with Lim in the hit series "My Binondo Girl," which started the love team endearingly referred to by their fans as "KimXi." They have since been rumored to be a couple even off-screen, with their respective families even approving of any brewing romance. However, addressing the latest bouts of rumors saying he and Chiu are now officially together, Lim said: "We just let people say what they want to say and we let people think what they want to think. What they see is what they get."

So here's the long story of how we hopped aboard this train of thought. We were doing a giant 50 state floor puzzle, and Wyatt was putting in the Kentucky piece and he says "Hey! That's where Abe Lincoln was born!?!" I wasn't so sure, I'd always remembered Lincoln and Illinois ( or at least remembered that was the state he represented in congress.) My trusty iphone made short work of googling the answer, and Wy got a high-five for showing up his mom.
Then Aves busted out our copy of Scholastic Encyclopedia Of The Presidents And Their Times. We started looking through the profiles of the different presidents, and since they're early/emerging readers we spent alot of time looking at the pictures. We saw the changing flags, President's birthdays/dates of death (god that sounds macabre lol) and used our GIANT CALCULATOR to figure out about how many years old they lived to be.
We also saw this image of how slaves were packed into the cargo holds of ships which led to a discussion of how sometimes it takes alot of hard work to change things that are wrong, because they might have been wrong for a long time. We ventured into civil rights, and women's rights…It was just the sort of discussion I wish I could have more often with the kiddos, the kind where they take the lead. This lets me be the mommy version of google, getting them the answers they're looking for, which then lead to more questions and connections… I love that. That's the mom I want to be.
So Avery was very excited to point out that Susan B. Anthony was one of those people who worked hard for change, and remembered we had just gotten an Easy Reader about her and ran over to the bookshelf to get it. It's from a great little series of books on different historic American icons. It manages to paint a pretty good picture of her and her times though it didn't mention anything about her work in the abolitionist movement. But hey it was 10 pages long and meant for first graders… I did like enjoy the list entitled "These were some of the ways life was unfair for women in those days." The thought that women had to give their money to their husbands blew their minds, which was adorable to watch.
It was really quite easy, I just showed them how to draw a line and mark off each inch for a unit of time. I think I'll create and instruction sheet and a new section for projects on here. If I have the section maybe I'll feel obligated to do fun stuff like that again more often and post more of them. <When it's done I'll insert the link here>

LIKE so many hippopotamuses, thousands of Sydneysiders wallowed through the mud on a blazing Saturday.
About 8500 people competed at the fourth annual Mud Run, held at the International Equestrian Centre at Horsley Park.
The event was staged by fitness company Maximum Adventure, but contestants' runs were untimed and many seemed more concerned with splashing than overtaking competitors.
The race raised $40,000 for official charity partner the NSW Cancer Council.
The mud was kept fresh by sprinkler systems and competitors aged 12-and-under competed in a lesser, one kilometre mud dash.
Despite the temperature topping 36 degrees, people arrived in elaborate costumes including Santa Claus and Smurf outfits and tutus. But by the time they had negotiated seven kilometres' worth of muck and obstacles, including balancing beams, hay bales and ropes, the diversely dressed competitors all looked more or less the same.

Southlake, TX (PRWEB) June 17, 2016
Sensori Games announces it's latest mobile game for iPhone and iPad, called City Salvation: Drone Wars. City Salvation is possibly the world's first mobile game to allow game play in virtual copies of real cities. The game is free to download and play from the Apple App store (http://appstore.com/citysalvationdronewars). In the game the mission is to remotely control a military attack drone to protect downtown Dallas, Chicago and San Francisco from massive attacking robot mechs, which drop from the sky. The action includes zooming over and between city skyscrapers at breakneck speed controlling the drone by tilting the iPhone or iPad. Cities such as Las Vegas, Boston and Tokyo, are planned to be added to the game and will be available to download for an in-game payment. After each level, fighting off waves of attacking robot mechs, the story behind the attacks is delivered by the drone dispatcher who describes the mysterious Noise which has almost paralyzed the entire population of earth leaving only a few people left who can function. By the end of the 3rd city the incredible secrets of who is attacking the Earth is unveiled.
Sensori Games believes this is the beginning of an emerging trend towards 3D digitization of the physical world. Books like Ernest Cline's Ready Player One, which will be coming to the big screen in late 2017, describe an inevitable future where players can play and explore in a virtual copy of the real world. Google and Apple have been a major force behind this trend with the introduction of 3D cities in their mapping products. In addition, both companies are planning phones, which automatically create 3D models of the things that are photographed right now, including homes and possessions. When everyone have phones which provide the means to create instant 3D models of the world around it opens things up to interact in a virtual space or even apply augmented reality information to it like the size of rooms or object or even who makes and sells the object being looking at. Imagine the impact to retailers if everything looked at has a holographic 'Buy Now' button.
From HR to VR
Sensori Games founder and CEO, Ross Melbourne is a serial entrepreneur who's career has stretched from micros, mainframes, PC and now mobile. Ross co-founded and ran an enterprise Human Resources software company for 18 years with his wife and co-founder Lois Melbourne. Having sold that business he decided it was time for a change and saw virtual reality as a potential market explosion waiting to happen. Melbourne says, "A complete digital model of the world outside is inevitable. You just have to look at Google Maps with Street view to see it has already begun. What's coming are higher fidelity models that can be used in business, city planning and communication which includes social apps like Facebook, tourism and initially games. We are proud to release the first mobile games to use 3D models of real cities like San Francisco and Chicago."
