Raindrops Of Death - Poem by Cami Walters
Tip toe dancing within a wilderness sonnet
searching for though lover, my demon knight
tasting his blood upon a fallen sword
hunted prey, evil dark award
follow the trail my maiden fair
pieces of my flesh litter the ground
whispering winds call for thee
waiting for you, dying to be free
echoing passion deceives thy eyes
how can one find thy lover
destiny deceived, fingers grow weary
leaving me exhausted and teary
glinting moon light cast off armor
leading you to my heart
living lives too short to tell
lost and caught within your spell
falling upon my dying love
'I shall split the demon in two, eternally yours'
kissing his icicle tears of pain
clutching him to my bossom, a lovers crimson rain

Teleuse at the bottom of the pyramid, or Teleuse@BOP, pioneered by LIRNEasia in 2005, is a unique series of cutting edge demand-side studies on ICT use among the BOP. It was one of the first large regional studies to assess demand for ICT services among emerging Asia's BOP in a systematic way.
Teleuse@BOP4 :The 2011 study was conducted in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and most recently, Java (Indonesia), focuses on if and how mobile phones are being used for productive purposes, especially within the agriculture sector.
The study also contains a module on the knowledge and information needs as well as ICT use in the agriculture sector in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Telephone use was perceived to provide a much higher benefit in providing a sense of security in terms of acting in an emergency and in maintaining social relationships than benefiting financially though the potential for greater income earning ability and saving costs at the BOP and this seems to be continuing trend even in 2011. The studies have consistently shown the phone being used primarily for social purposes, with more "utilitarian" uses (such as use for business, financial or work-related) being secondary. The most recent findings show however that there is a segment of the BOP which uses the phone for utilitarian purposes on a daily basis.
From 2008 the studies also tried to assess the awareness and use of "more-than-voice" applications and services, such as m-payments, m-health, m-gov applications and information (livelihood-related, entertainment, etc) services. More awareness of more-than-voices services was expected since they offer a way for the BOP to access information and services with lower transaction costs. Awareness was relatively higher in entertainment-related information services than in other categories. The most recent data showed no significant change in overall awareness between 2008 and 2011, and very low (almost zero) usage figures whilst use of more-than-voices services seems to have declined from 2008.
The biggest barrier to more-than-voice usage, among those who are already aware of such applications and services appears to be a lack of know-how on how to use the services, as well as the perception that such services and applications are not relevant to them. This suggests that awareness is still only at a surface level, and detailed knowledge of the services and applications does not exist yet.
This work is being carried out by with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre (Ottawa, Canada) and UKaid from the Department for International Development of the UK (DFID).

Carter Siegel
Carter Siegel, M.Ed. was certified to teach in 2005 through Yoga Alliance and in 2012 received her 500 hour teaching certificate in Classical Yoga from the YogaLife Institute and is continuing her studies in the 300 hour YogaLife Institute Yoga Therapy training program. She has been teaching in private and group settings to all levels of ability. For Carter, yoga has become much more than a way to stay flexible, strong and centered; it has developed into an integral and influential part of every day life. Carter has studied and practiced many styles of yoga over the years (both hard and soft) and has studied with American gurus such as David Swensen, Sean Corn, Shiva Rae, Daniel Orlansky, and Beryl Bender Birch. While her yoga foundation is based in the physical and athletic style of Ashtanga, she makes it accessible to even the newest yogi through a careful and gentle approach to identifying the needs of her students. From the newest to the advanced practitioner, Carter teaches in a clear, logical and appropriate pace and level that supports the students abilities and limitations (if any). Carter's vinyasa flow classes focus on linking breath to movement. The student will build strength, increase flexibility, and work towards realizing a greater sense of peace of mind and clarity of thought.

Precautions 1. Keep the device away from external light. Although the photo-IC is of low optical sensitivity, the device may malfunction if external light with a wavelength of 700 nm or more is allowed to impinge on it. 2. Care must be taken in relation to the environment in which the device is to be installed. Oil or chemicals may cause the package to melt or crack. 3. When attaching the device to the metal board, always hold the body of the device. Do not hold it by the connector. Ensure that the board is flat, and not warped or twisted. Attach the device to a metal board at room temperature. 4. TOSHIBA recommend attaching the device to the smoother side of the board. 5. TOSHIBA recommend testing the attachment strength beforehand by actually attaching a device to the board. 6. Do not apply solder to the pins of the device's connector. Make sure that the connector is plugged into the CT connector. 7. When inserting or removing the CT connector, always grasp it and its cable firmly and either plug it straight into or pull it straight out of the device's connector. If the CT connector is inserted or removed at an angle, both the device's connector and the CT connector may get damaged, resulting in an unreliable connection. 8. Conversion efficiency falls over time due to the current which flows in the infrared LED. When designing a circuit, take into account this change in conversion efficiency over time. The ratio of fluctuation in conversion efficiency to fluctuation in infrared LED optical output is 1: 1.

An Augusta accounting firm intends to launch an audit next month of Columbia County hotels not initially included in a previous audit.
Serotta, Maddocks, Evans & Co. partner Rick Evans told members of the county Audit Committee during a Tuesday meeting that "two or three" hotels were missed in an audit conducted this year and accountants intend to track down and look at those financial records.
The previous audit of responsive hotels led to the creation of a new form disseminated to area hotel and motel executives during the summer. Officials hope the form puts an end to taxes being paid improperly.
In that initial audit, accountants discovered that most of the county's eight hotels improperly paid lodging taxes for four months of the 2009-10 fiscal year.
Hawthorne Suites, Motel 6 of Augusta, Howard Johnson, Best Western and Georgia Inn underpaid on taxes by a collective total of nearly $917 during the four months considered by auditors. America's Best Suites and Econo Lodge overpaid by about $1,100.
Auditors and county finance officials believe the incorrect payments stemmed from confusion among hotel executives on what state entity received which payment and when lodging-tax exemptions kicked in for hotel guests.
Guests are charged a 5 percent lodging tax for the county and a 7 percent sales tax for the state. Evans said he believes many managers confused the destination of those payments. In other instances, Evans believes some hotels wrongly believed that guests earned tax exemptions for stays of longer than 10 continuous days, when those exemptions don't start until after a 30-day stay.
To alleviate the confusion, county Financial Services Director Leanne Reece sent those hotels a new payment form that includes step-by-step instructions on how to calculate the taxes owed.
"We hopefully have made this much, much clearer," Reece said of the new form. "We put at the very top that there is a 5 percent excise tax on rooms, lodgings and accommodations, so they can't confuse it with the 7 percent sales tax."
Initial consideration, though, to recover lost funds from underpaying hotels has been abandoned, Reece said.
"I think we're going to let that go for now and just try to fix the system," she said.
Reece said she'd like to initiate another audit at some point to check on the success of the new form.
In the meantime, Evans said, his firm will conduct spot checks of the hotels upon request.
"If (county officials) feel like a particular operator wasn't reporting timely or properly, the county has the right to go in and audit at any time," he said.

The story of its conception was dramatized in the 1999 film ''Film/TopsyTurvy''.In a quite fictionalized version of Japan, Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado (the Emperor), wanders the streets as a WanderingMinstrel. Meanwhile, a hapless tailor named Ko-Ko has been saved from the chopping block and appointed High Executioner. Instructed to execute ''somebody'' before The Mikado returns, Ko-Ko happens upon Nanki-Poo, who is in love with the maiden Yum-Yum, and contemplating suicide because she's due to marry another. Seeing an opportunity, Ko-Ko decides to help Nanki-Poo have his death wish and to be with Yum-Yum. HilarityEnsues.----!!This work provides examples of:* AbhorrentAdmirer: Katisha for Nanki-Poo* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Gilbert really enjoyed alliteration:-->''To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock\\In a pestilential prison with a life-long lock\\Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock\\From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!''* AffablyEvil: The Mikado, who is rather calm when he threatens to boil his son's supposed killers in oil.-->''"I'm not a bit angry."''* AllThereInTheScript: ** Peep-Bo, the third of the "three little maids from school"; and Pish-Tush, who is not so much a character as a singing part.* AnachronismStew: Modern productions tend to be updated with current references, especially prevalent in "The List" song.** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tja8pXmO7QQ This version]] of "Mi-ya Sa-ma" features a refrain comprising most of the modern Japanese mega-corps** A recent version with Alistair [=McGowan=] rhymed Mikado with the supermarket chain Ocado.** The Madison (Wisconsin) Savoyards [[http://host.madison.com/wsj/entertainment/music/an-anime-take-on-the-mikado/article_82ff7b7c-0d35-50c3-b216-f5622e8ea227.html went with an anime costume design]] for their 2015 show.* AssholeVictim: In "I've Got a Little List", Ko-Ko, now the Lord High Executioner, explains that if he's going to execute anyone, it'll be people that no one will be sorry to be rid of, criminals or not. Since many of the examples listed won't make much sense to modern audiences (or may not be very fair by today's standards) the song's lyrics are often revised or updated to feature topical examples.* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: It should go without saying that basically none of the characters have actual Japanese names.** Even the name of the play is sort of an example of this. The word ''mikado'' is presented as meaning "emperor". In fact it means the general authority of the Emperor, a bit like how the British civil government is referred to as "Downing Street". It is not a title given to a person.* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Yum Yum: Beautiful=Good, Katisha: Ugly=Evil. However this trope is lampshaded and parodied as well. Yum Yum asks herself why she's the most beautiful woman in the whole world in one scene ("Can this be vanity? No!"). As for Katisha, although she is genuinely bloodthirsty and cruel, her loneliness makes her sympathetic ("Hearts do not break, they sting and ache..."). * BlackComedy* BlueBlood-->'''Pooh-Bah:''' I am, in point of fact, a particularly haughty and exclusive person, of pre-Adamite ancestral descent. You will understand this when I tell you that [[UpToEleven I can trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmic primordial atomic globule.]]* {{Bowdlerise}}: A couple of N-word references are generally now re-written in "I've Got a Little List" and "My Object All Sublime."** While in no way giving Sir William NWordPrivileges, he was referring not to actual people of African extraction, but to MinstrelShows and {{Blackface}} actors (c.f. reference to "serenader" and "blacked-like...with walnut juice", respectively), a cheap gimmick that would likely have offended Gilbert, to whom stage acting was quite SeriousBusiness, even if the lyrics were not. Still, use of the term is considered to be in bad taste these days, and there is no real objection to these minor alterations, provided they [[RhymesOnADime fit the rhyme and rhythm]].** Gilbert also permitted bowdlerising out the N-word in American versions, after being told that using the word was considered poor taste in America (which it was, but more for its association with Southern "white trash" than any racist implications).* TheChewToy: Ko-Ko. * ChristmasCake: Katisha, a very old maid, pines for Nanki-Poo and for the title of "Daughter-in-Law Elect of the Mikado", and eventually Queen. From her behavior in the second act, it is clear that she would pattern her reign after the Queen of Hearts from ''[[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Alice in Wonderland]]'' ("[[OffWithHisHead off with their heads]]!"), so the inhabitants of Titipu could heave a sigh of relief that she didn't get her wish.* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: "A More Humane Mikado" is made of this.* DisproportionateRetribution: You can get the death penalty for ''flirting''.* DrivenToSuicide: Nanki-Poo attempts to off himself when he thinks he can't marry Yum-Yum, but Ko-Ko has other ideas...* EitherOrTitle: As is typical of G&S operettas.* EvilSoundsDeep: ** The Mikado and Katisha are a bass and a contralto, respectively.** Pooh-Bah, likewise, is always cast as a bass or a baritone.* EvolvingMusic: ** The titular list from [[ListSong "I've Got A Little List"]] often has the words updated to poke fun at current topical references, unless the director is a major traditionalist. Gilbert himself sanctioned some of this rewriting when he realized that "the lady novelist" on Ko-Ko's list wouldn't always be seen as "[[MostWritersAreMale a singular anomaly]]" and let singers suggest their own alternatives. The most popular replacement? "[[NatureAbhorsAVirgin The girl who's never kissed]]"! The prohibitionist is also a popular substitution.** It's somewhat expected to couple this with some SelfDeprecation, as when one production added to the list "[[HypocriticalHumor All people who write different words to Mr. Gilbert's songs]]..."** Less frequently, the Mikado's song receives this treatment as well.* EveryManHasHisPrice: Pooh-Bah would be ''insulted'' if you offered him a bribe, and ''mortified'' at the prospect of working for a salary. However, as a man of high moral principles, he is grateful for every such opportunity to practice self-abasement.* {{Flanderization}}: When the Mikado was originally played by Richard Temple in 1885 he was a slightly sinister "suave and oily" reserved monarch with just the very lightest touch of the manical in the background. By the end of the 1920s, however, Darrell Fancourt had turned him into a maniacal tyrant complete with a flamboyant evil laugh. G and S fans are divided as to which was the better approach.* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou - PlayedForLaughs: In Lord High Executioner's "I've Got a Little List" song, some versions will have him refer to members of the cast, and possibly the audience as well.** Martyn Greene recounts that when he played Ko-Ko, even without changing the words he was often able to get a huge laugh by looking pointedly up at the seats of any visiting dignitaries (once including UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill!) at ''exactly'' the right moment:--> And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind, \\Such as — What d'ye call him — Thing'em-bob, and likewise — Never-mind, \\And 'St— 'st— 'st— and What's-his-name, and also '''''You-know-who'''''....* GallowsHumor: Plenty. As a main character is the Lord High Executioner, and much of the plot revolves around an execution, quite a bit of it is [[{{Pun}} literal gallows humor]].* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Satirising British society was tricky when (just as happens today) anything seriously cutting raised public controversy (''Theatre/TheSorcerer'' got a lot of complaints for mocking the church even mildly). Gilbert got around that by setting the story at least notionally in Japan. It just happens to be a Japan with a British political system, British nobility and a very British sense of etiquette...* GrandeDame: Katisha.* GuiltByAssociationGag: Poo-Bah and Pitti-Sing get condemned to death for Nanki-Poo's supposed execution at the hands of Ko-Ko, simply because they happen to be hanging around. * HaveAGayOldTime: Several. ** The "nigger serenader and the others of his race" in Ko-Ko's list song do not refer to a desire for genocide, but rather that if blackface minstrels and similar types of entertainers disappeared, the world would be a slightly better place. Actual performers of colour weren't a thing in middle-class circles until TheTwenties.** "Dicky-bird, why do you sit / Singing willow, tit-willow, tit-willow?" must have meant something else in the 19th century...* HollywoodMedievalJapan: Kind of. Nothing in the script, except the title, bears any real resemblance to actual historical Japan. However costumes and decor were inspired by popular interest in Japanese art, but [[WordOfGod Word of Gilbert]] explains that it's a pretext for satire that's actually directed toward contemporary English institutions.* HopeSpot: "There should be, of course...but there isn't."* [[IAmSong "I Am" Song]]: "If you want to know who we are" (The people of Titipu), "A wandering minstrel, I" (Nanki-Poo), "Behold the Lord High Executioner" (Ko-Ko), "Comes a train of little ladies" (The school girls), "Three little maids from school" (Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing & Peep-Bo) and "Miya Sama" (The Mikado & Katisha). Yes, six of them, quite possibly a record.* InherentlyFunnyWords: ** Just about all of the names, some of which seem to combine this with GettingCrapPastTheRadar. ** "I drew my snickersnee..." (a real word dating back to at least 1775, meaning a long knife used as a weapon)** Titipu. ({{Heh Heh|YouSaidX}}....)* InsaneTrollLogic: How the crisis is averted in the end.-->'''Ko-Ko:''' When Your Majesty says "Let a thing be done", it's as good as done, practically it '''is''' done, because Your Majesty's will is law. Your Majesty says "Kill a gentleman", and the gentleman is to be killed, consequently that gentleman is as good as dead, practically he '''is''' dead, and if he is dead, why not say so?\\'''The Mikado:''' I see. ''[DramaticPause]'' Nothing could possibly be more...satisfactory!** Cue the DancePartyEnding* ItGetsEasier: Parodied when Ko-Ko announces that he ''can't'' execute a human being just yet; he'd planned on starting with a guinea pig and killing progressively larger, more intelligent animals until he got there.* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: Technically, Ko-Ko, although he's upstaged by Pooh-Bah who is the "Lord High Everything Else."* KingIncognito: Prince Nanki-Poo disguises himself as a minstrel to escape the advances of Lady Katisha, a much older woman who wants his hand in marriage.* LawfulStupid: The Mikado agrees with Ko-Ko, Pooh-Bah, and Pitti-Sing's explanation that the execution of his son Nanki-Poo was a complete accident, that nobody should have been expected to deduce his true identity through the disguise, and that they were, after all, carrying out the Mikado's orders that ''somebody'' be executed...but that the three of them should still be subjected to "something ''lingering'' with boiling oil in it" for the crime of murdering the Heir Apparent of Japan. He even regrets having to do so, stating that there is [[ForgotICouldChangeTheRules nothing that he could do about it]].** The Mikado actually says, "That's the slovenly way in which these Acts are always drawn. However, cheer up, it'll be all right. I'll have it altered next session. Now, let's see about your execution will after luncheon suit you? Can you wait till then?" (Implying that Japan has a Parliament, which is in keeping with all of Poo-Bah's British-style state titles.)* ListingTheFormsOfDegenerates: "I've Got A Little List", which lists all the kinds of people who can be executed without public protest, as does "A More Humane Mikado" in the next act.* LocalReference: -->'''Ko-Ko:''' The fact is, he's gone abroad.\\'''The Mikado:''' Gone abroad? His address!\\'''Ko-Ko:''' Knightsbridge!** Knightsbridge was the site of a Japanese cultural exhibition around the time the operetta premiered (indeed, its popularity was an inspiration to Gilbert). The reference is often changed to something local to the production.* ListSong: Ko-Ko's "I've got a little list." The Mikado's song "A More Humane Mikado" also spends a lot of time listing people.* TheLongList: ** When they say Pooh-Bah is "Lord High Everything Else," they mean it.[[note]]First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral, Master of the Hounds, Groom of the Back Stairs, Archbishop of Titipu, Lord Mayor (both acting and elect), Lord Chamberlain, Attorney General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, Private Secretary (to Ko-Ko), Solicitor (for Ko-Ko, again), Leader of the Opposition, Paymaster General, Lord High Auditor, First (or Chief) Commissioner of Police, Secretary of State for the Home Department ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]]'' the Registrar.[[/note]]** The list in "I've Got a Little List" isn't really that little. This is sometimes {{parod|y}}ied by having it reach the floor when unrolled.* LoopholeAbuse: Flirting was made a capital offense, but everyone tries to find a way around that. Notably, this explains how Ko-Ko became Lord High Executioner: He was promoted to the post after being sentenced to death, but since he can't cut off his own head, and since nobody else can be executed until he is, everyone is free to indulge in flirting!* LosingYourHead: While Ko-Ko, Pitti-Sing and Pooh-Bah are describing the supposed execution of Nanki-Poo, Pooh-Bah gets carried away and claims that Nanki-Poo's severed head remained animate long enough to bow politely three times in farewell.* LoveTriangle: Ko-Ko, Yum-Yum and Nanki-Poo.* MetaphoricallyTrue: This resolves the conflict at the end (with a heaping accompaniment of InsaneTrollLogic) when the characters are able to convince the Mikado that, since his word is law, anyone who the Mikado says should be executed is "as good as dead," never mind that they're still alive.* MostWritersAreMale: An item on Ko-Ko's list is "That singular anomaly, the lady novelist."** In subsequent productions, this became "the prohibitionist" and "the scorching motorist".* NightmareFetishist: ** Katisha sings a whole song about how awesome thunderstorms, tigers, earthquakes, and volcanoes are. --->'''Katisha:''' And you won't hate me because I'm just a little teeny weeny wee bit bloodthirsty, will you?\\'''Ko-Ko:''' Hate you? Oh, Katisha! is there not beauty even in bloodthirstiness?\\'''Katisha:''' My idea exactly!** Many people during the opera express bloodthirsty glee at the prospect of executions (well, executions that are not their own.) * OffWithHisHead: Ko-Ko's job duties, although he never actually performs them. Discussed in several songs as well, including "I Am So Proud" and "The Criminal Cried."* OpeningChorus: "If You Want To Know Who We Are." Doubles as an IAmSong for the chorus, explaining that they're gentlemen of Japan.* OverlyLongGag: Pooh-Bah holds the note a ludicrously long time when wishing "long life" to Nanki-Poo upon his engagement to Yum-Yum (several productions have Nanki-Poo trying to walk out on him and Pooh-Bah stopping him). The payoff comes when he finishes the song:-->Long life to you --\\Long life to you --\\Long life to you -- [[GallowsHumor till then!]]* PatterSong: ** "I've got a little list."** Also, "A More Humane Mikado," which is actually more demanding in the patter. Indeed, Gilbert was seriously considering cutting out this song because it is essentially the same as "I've got a little list." He was talked out of doing it by the chorus (as a body) who argued that it was the Mikado's only solo.** The second half of "I Am So Proud."* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Ko-Ko is the Lord High Executioner, but never executes anybody. * PunnyName* RebelPrince: Nanki-Poo, who rejects life at the royal court in favor of wandering around disguised as a minstrel.* RunawayFiance: the male version.* [[ShoutOut/ToShakespeare Shout-Out to Shakespeare]]: Hamlet's reference to Claudius as a "king of shreds and patches" is borrowed:-->"A wand'ring minstrel I,\\A thing of shreds and patches!"** In the recent Australian Opera production:-->"Friends, Shogun, Countrymen! Lend me your ears!"-->"Nanki-Poo? Nanki-Poo? Wherefore art thou Nanki-poo?"* SpurnedIntoSuicide: ** Nanki-Poo prepares to off himself when he believes he will not be allowed to marry Yum-Yum. This gives Ko-Ko the idea for his deal.** The title bird in "Tit-Willow." Ko-Ko sings the song to hint to Katisha that he may do the same if she rejects him.* StylisticSuck: To go with the very AsLongAsItSoundsForeign names and various other elements in the play, many productions choose to do the same visually, and decidedly aim left of any sort of cultural accuracy with the costumes and sets.* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: A meta-example. Gilbert explained that the reason he didn't include many of his trademark whimsical rhymes for actual Japanese words and titles, although [[RhymesOnADime he was tempted]], was that he realized early on that "Samurais" rhymes with "[[PrecisionFStrike Damn your eyes]]." And he couldn't very well include that in a [[MoralGuardians Victorian]] production, "unless [Sullivan's] music had drowned the expression in the usual theatrical way--[[CacophonyCoverUp Tympani fortissimo]], I think you call it."* TenorBoy: Nanki-Poo* TheThemeParkVersion: Of Japanese culture. Of course, even the opening chorus cheerfully acknowledges that it is not intended to be realistic but is drawn from what can be seen "On many a vase and jar / On many a screen and fan."* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: In some productions of ''The Mikado'' Pitti-Sing is played as a tomboy to Yum-Yum's Girly Girl.* ThisIsReality: After Ko-Ko, Pooh-Bah, and Pitti-Sing are convicted of inadvertantly doing away with the heir to the throne, the Mikado remarks that he's sorry for them, but this is an unjust world and virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances.* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: Pooh-Bah is: Master of the Rolls, Master of the Buckhounds, Groom of the Backstairs, First Lord of the Treasury, Solicitor, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney-General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, Lord Chief Justice, Leader of the Opposition, Paymaster-General, Lord High Auditor, Archbishop of Titipu, First Commissioner of Police, Private Secretary, Groom of the Second Floor Front, Lord Mayor and Judge Ordinary. Indeed the only position in city government he does not hold is that of Lord High Executioner; his shorter title is Lord High Everything Else. Modern productions like to add some titles to introduce more contemporary humour. Examples would be Director of Homeland Security or Husband of Creator/ElizabethTaylor.* TranslationYes: In the children's book version of the story adapted by Gilbert, he explains that Yum-Yum's name supposedly translates as, "The full moon of delight which sheds her remarkable beams over a sea of infinite loveliness, thus indicating a glittering path by which she may be approached by those who are willing to brave the perils which necessarily await the daring adventurers who seek to reach her by those means." He goes on to explain that the Japanese language is remarkably compact.* UnwantedAssistance: ''"Will you refrain from putting in your oar!?!"''* WanderingMinstrel: Nanki-Poo's disguise** Lampshaded in the song "A Wand'ring Minstrel I."* WifeHusbandry: Ko-Ko is Yum-Yum's guardian, and explains "I've educated her to be my wife; she's been taught to regard me as a wise and good man."* {{Yellowface}}: Part of the originally intended joke is the performers - despite being in yellowface - are actually examples of stupid ''British'' aristocrats. At the time there was a huge craze for Japan culture in Britain so having the characters be Japanese was a bit of satire. Since the joke is no longer relevant and yellowface [[ValuesDissonance much less acceptable]] directors have chosen to go in different directions.** One technique is to eschew makeup entirely and simply have them dressed is Japanese characters.** Another direction is to ''reverse'' it; all the characters are obviously, excessively ''British'' (huge sideburns, thick accents) while still using faux-Japanese names and garb, thus rebuilding the joke that this is not some bizarre Eastern culture indulging in idiocy, but British upper-crust pretending to be so.** Another that is [[http://www.frolichawaii.com/stories/the-mikado-has-arrived/ gaining a bit of currency]] is to portray everyone as {{Anime}} characters, which preserves the intended satire on Western fascination with TheThemeParkVersion of Japanese culture.----

Casey Pachall walked to the podium and spoke for one minute. He had a prepared speech but no notes and he did not take questions.
"I truly do apologize for what's been said and done on my behalf lately and in the past," Pachall began.
WIthout getting specific on what he was apologizing for, Pachall continued.
"I know I'm not perfect but I've learned from those mistakes and I'm still learning. It's a day to day process for me trying to be a better person and role model and leader for this team, this community and this university."
NBC 5 asked Coach Gary Patterson if he disciplined his QB for his failing a drug test and admitting to using marijuana and cocaine. Patterson said, "No." He said the university had Pachall go through a drug and alcohol awareness program and he said that was enough.
Patterson got defensive when asked if he wishes he would have address the team's illegal drug issues before spring practice. Patterson said he was on top of things kicking four players off the team for using drugs before they were arrested.
"I was already ahead of the situation," said Patterson. "I already knew all that before anybody was arrested so I already did what my part was. I don't think we're behind on anything."
"When I have younger football teams I have more knuckleheads," said Patterson. "This year I have 12 seniors, 11 juniors and 80 to 85 percent of my team is freshmen and sophomores.... I probably have more knuckeheads."
Patterson said one of his jobs is to get his players to grow up. If too many players get kicked off the team they will not do well in their first season in the more competitive Big 12 Conference.

Re: Book vs. Movie
The movie's good, no doubt about that. But, the book takes the cake, candles and all. As Hollywood is apt to do, they've taken the basic story from the book, embellished it with a healthy overdose of melodrama and sentiment and unfortunately left out some of the most important parts of the novel - probably because the dimwits couldn't understand them in the first place.
The conversation with the aliens should have focussed on so much more - the commonality between all (?) species through the immutable scientific constants, the ongoing search of the aliens themselves, for 'the truth' ...
... as it was, the actual contact in the movie turns out to be a very big damp squib.
And the part i was really looking forward to - the ending of the novel where ellie searches through millions of pi's digits to discover the circle (a strange loop) - which hints of an unseen order behind all scientific constants and promises of much to be discovered, was sadly left out. Like i said, try explaining pi to the hollywood types!!
In summary, Contact, the novel was an excellent work of science fiction. The movie, on the other hand, is much more fiction and much less science.
In that sense, it does detract from what otherwise would have been a fitting obituary for Carl Sagan.

My thoughts...
The book is certainly different from the film. The introductory description of Ellie in her early days seem to be very fragmented and didn't flow. There were lots of conferences which happens all the time in Science! Dr Hadden's character was plain weird - so kind of deranged pervert. The ending wasn't very satisfactory, everyone got to meet who they wanted (several people travelled in the transport), they were banned from active discussion of the whole affair, and the machine only worked once?! Carl Sagan was trying to be a bit clever and weave a message in Pi thus indicating the presence of an entity that was about when the universe was created, i.e., indications of God. This is very weak however, when you consider Pi is an infinite "random" number hence the probability of finding a "message" is 1 - analagous to the 100 monkeys that can type up the work of Shakespeare by chance...
You're right that there was a major overhaul to the story for the movie, but I think it was done in the best possible way. There are dim wits out there so you do have to simplify things. I supoose the story only rings true if you have a scientific background because it is quite clear that all aspects and arguments make sense in Ellie's (a scientist's) point of view, and it's a bit different if your a religious viewer (my friend could not understand why I liked the film after he watched it twice - he's deeply religious medic!)
The meeting with the alien was brief, but that was to account for time she was "out". The book wasn't much better though since it was very vague, Ellie meeting her dad, and the other's meeting who ever they wanted to meet. There were few details and then they went back! I don't the end part was the most important, but more of how people interact and what characteristics they have. The film ended happily, whereas the book ended with the weak mystery message in Pi (I initially thought it was cool but my brother smashed it with the probability thing...)

Re: Book vs. Movie
It has been several years since I read the book. Both the book and movie are very good. The book is better, mostly because it goes into greater depth. There are more characters with more complex motives and relationships in the book. The character of Ellie is more interesting in the book. Her relationship with her father, mother and step-father are much more complex. In the movie Ellie does not have a mother. In the book she has a troubled relationship with her mother. She is angry with her for remarrying soon after her father dies. Near the end of the book she has to face the fact that her mother is dying in the hospital.
The book has more detail and explaination of the world's reaction to the message. There is a lengthy process of the selecting of the Five scientists that will ride in the machine. The book describes a lot of political negotations about who will go on the mission and which countries will have astronauts on the machine. There is a greater explaination of the scientific aspects of the search for a message and the interpretting of the message when it is discovered. There is no great love story in the book as I remember. Carl Sagan's novel is well worth reading.
The movie is not exactally the same as the book, but it is a good interpretation of it. I thought it was well done. My biggest disappointment is that Carl Sagan, (the author, scientist and a producer of the film) died before the film was released. He was a great man. Sagan was a well respected scientist who gave us a wonderful story in "Contact". He is missed. He belongs to the stars now.

Re: Book vs. Movie
For me, I actually liked the movie better. The book was good, but the movie was tighter storywise IMO. They left out some of the unceccesary family drama and characters.
There were moments from the book that I would have liked in the movie, but the story didn't suffer because they weren't included.

ok opting out doesnt limit the phones abilities other than maps taking longer to open google uses your location data for a few reasons to aid in search results i.e. search pizza instead of pizza hut and dominoes it gives you local results and to help cache your info so maps works faster and so you dont lose nav when you hit a dead spot so if you opt out you just get slower maps and no local searches ...

well speaking from a tech support standpoint i work for sprint not vzw theyll have you do a factory data and if that doesnt work replace it theres not much they can do over a "core system app" and app thats a part of the phone the update probably messed it up unless you guys wanna port over another gallery from another phone or install a 3rd party app get a replacement

Spiced Pumpkin Cookies
These little pumpkin cookies are my latest obsession. Imbued with warm autumn spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves, they're cakey on the interior and slightly crisp on the exterior, with a bit of crunch from the raw sugar sprinkled on top. My family flocks to the kitchen as soon as I pull them out of the oven, and the first batch disappears before the second trays are even done.
To begin, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves in a bowl, and set aside.
Next, in the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Then mix in the vanilla extract and pumpkin purée.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients.
Then scoop heaping tablespoons of cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. It's easiest to use a 1-1/2 tablespoon ice cream scoop (and it will make your cookies will be prettier).
Sprinkle the cookie dough with turbinado sugar. This is just a large crystal, natural brown sugar — most grocery stores carry it but you can always use the "Sugar in the Raw" brown packets found at coffee shops.
Then bake until puffed and slightly browned around the edges.
Cool on racks and enjoy warm out of the oven.
For more pumpkin recipes, check out my Pumpkin Bread and Pumpkin Pecan Crunch Muffins.
Note: These cookies are best enjoyed warm out of the oven, so I suggest refrigerating the dough and baking as needed. It will keep for up to four days in the fridge.
My Recipe Videos
Spiced Pumpkin Cookies
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off with back edge of knife
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cups canned pumpkin purée (from one 15-ounce can, though you'll have some left over)
- 2-3 tablespoons turbinado (or demerara) sugar
- Arrange oven racks in upper and middle thirds and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter with the white and brown sugars until light and fluffy, a few minutes. Scrape down the bowl, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla and pumpkin puree (don't worry if the mixture looks somewhat broken). Scrape down the bowl, then mix in the flour mixture on low speed. Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons (preferably using a 1-1/2 tablespoon ice cream scooper) onto the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle cookies evenly with turbinado sugar and bake for about 20 minutes, rotating pans midway through, until puffed and slightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes on baking sheets, then transfer with a spatula to a wire rack to cool. These cookies are best enjoyed warm out of the oven, or on the same day.

SO good! I followed the directions but added chocolate chips and kept them in the oven just a few extra minutes for a little extra crisp. It makes a lot, so I ended up freezing half the dough balls and was able to easily have fresh baked cookies another day (the frozen ones baked just as well). I agree that these are best the day of, but that doesn't mean they didn't go quickly the next day too 🙂
I harvest pumpkin from long neck pumpkins. It tends to be less dense than any canned pumpkin. Do you think I could use my fresh instead of the canned?
I tried this recipe today, and the cookies are wonderful, and addictive. I had to break mid-way through, so I chilled the remaining dough for a couple of hours. The chilled dough was a bit easier to handle, although there was no difference in the baked cookies. I had slightly better results baking one tray at a time vs. two at a time, but that might just be due to my oven. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe Jenn!
I made these cookies last week. I frosted them but I ate several straight from the oven and they were delicious! They are definitely best the first day if frosted but even if you do not frost them you could make a wicked dessert with the cookies a few days later.
Totally making these on the weekend. I'm thinking an orange/ginger cream cheese filling would work awesome for sandwich cookies
Anybody ever tried to make these gluten free?
I am hoping you will find a GREAT recipe for pumpkin snickerdoodles to make this fall.
These are delicious cookies, which have a delicious blend of spices. I made them with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Thank you for publishing the recipe.
How did you use the semi-sweet chocolate chips? Did you add them by taking some of the batter out or just added it?
Very nice cookie.
Great texture with just the right amount of sweetness.
Hi Jenn, I was wondering if these cookies can be frozen, either in dough form or after they are baked? Have you ever tried freezing them?
Hi! Did you ever try freezing the dough? I was wondering the same thing.
Thanks 🙂
The BEST cookies ever!!! These cookies go to every family gathering no matter what time of year. One batch is no longer enough, they disappear too quick! It's impossible to eat just one. I like to add chocolate chips and now I'm trying a batch with some walnuts. Cannot say how much my family and I LOVE these cookies!!
Any tips to keep the cookies slightly crispy like when they first come out of the oven? Once they cool completely I place them in storage containers and they become overly soft and stick together.
Hello, We can now can Libby's pumpkin in New Zealand but at $4.99/can it is expensive. You say there will be some pumpkin left over and I am wondering what I can do with it. At that cost it is pretty necessary to use all of it. Thanks. I still think your pumpkin bread is your best ever… Susan
My kids love these! But as you indicated, the texture is best when fresh out of the oven. I'm wondering if you could flash freeze the unbaked dough scoops, right on the cookie sheet, and then store the dough balls in a freezer bag in the freezer – the thought would be to take out as many as you need for one round of snacking, thaw them to room temp, and then pop them in the oven just before the kids get home from school – do you think they would still bake up the same? Curious to know your expert thoughts on that before I test it out!
I made these yesterday. They are fabulous! Living in high altitude, I increased the pumpkin to 1 1 /3 cup and really watched the time closely (17 min). Thanks for another terrific dessert!
Hi there, how do I make pumpkin puree? I can't find canned pumpkin puree in France.
These cookie's look yum and perfect to share on a wintery evening.
Love your recipes! They've always worked perfectly.
I grew up in Towson, MD, but I married a Kiwi in '72 and have been in NZ since '73. I remember the beautiful Autumn in MD. We can't get pureed pumpkin in NZ but we have plenty of pumpkins. I can't remember if that canned puree is raw or cooked. I'll have to make my own to use in your inspiring recipe. Thanks very much
I made these cookies with my granddaughter last fall and plan on doing it again. She loved helping and the cookies are soft and delicious.
I've made these several times and I adore them! Great recipe! With the abundance of zucchini this time of year, have you ever substituted zucchini for the pumpkin? I'm not sure whether or not that's a crazy idea, but please advise! Thanks!
I made these cookies and pretty much stuck to your recipe. I bought a cookie scooper which helps make uniform cookies. (Well worth the price.) The cookies are very moist and cakey. Great flavor for the fall.
I have now made these cookies 5 times since you posted this recipe! My husband is obsessed with the fluffy, cakey texture of the cookies. He is now requesting I try to change the recipe to make sugar cookies or snickerdoodles. Will the cookies come out similarly even without the pumpkin added?
I made these for the kids last weekend and they were delicious! They tasted like pumpkin bread cookies! If you like pumpkin you'll love these. They've requested them again this weekend 🙂
Is it okay to use pureed pumpkin from Whole Foods and not Libby's? I see Libby's in the picture and I'm wondering if there are some pumpkin pie spices in the Libby's, which will add flavor to the cookies. I don't think Whole Foods has the extra flavors, it's just pureed pumpkin.
Has anyone made this with gluten free flour
I made these tonight they are great! I think I will make some icing and make them into whoopie pies .
hi jenn, do you think this will work if i half the recipe?
My daughter sent me this pumpkin cookie recipe and it looks great. I can't wait to make it.
Please subscribe me to your wonderful service. I am a fellow Marylander and would love to get some more of your recipes.
Thank you,
Let me start off by saying that I began following you about a year ago, and every recipe, from you chocolate banana bread and chocolate chip blondies to your moroccan chicken (a family favorite) and fettucini bolognese (my husband thinks your recipe is better than the bon appetite one and I have to agree) has been a huge hit in my household! Thank you for such wonderful, and easy recipes. They make life for a working foodie like me so much easier.
On that note, if I wanted to add chocolate chips to these cookies, would i need to change anything (ie amounts of ingredients)?
Thank you , thank you, thank you !
These look so simple and delicious!
I can't wait to try these! I've made pumpkin cookies that had halved raw cranberries, orange zest and nuts — all which tasted great in a pumpkin cookie! Might be worth a try, but I'm going to try it without this year for the sake of the kiddos! I have a little girl that does not like chunkies in her baked goods! Thanks again for a great recipe! 😉
Jenn – would omitting the turbinado make a huge difference in taste or is it just for texture? My 19 month old may have a problem with chewing the sugar. Thanks
These cookies are yummy and were so easy to make! Thanks much for posting such tasty recipes every week — we love many of your recipes and I look forward to your weekly posts.
BTW, for those of you looking for organic pumpkin, Trader Joe's in Southern CA just started selling it.
I always get inspired to bake in the Fall too! These look yummy!
These look GREAT – thinking that I could add some raisins as well? 🙂
This is one I'm going to try for the holiday's. Looks fantastic….
Ooo these would be good cookies for ice cream sandwiches!

When do I need a Model or Property Release?
When uploading footage, audio, images or photographs that depict recognizable human beings or identifiable buildings you must acquire a signed release form.
What are Model And Property Releases?
A model release is a legal release signed by the subject of a photograph or video granting permission to use or publish the photograph or video in one form or another. You can read a full description of what a model release is at Wikipedia.
If you are including in your item the face or identifiable features of any person on video, photograph, or a traced illustration, you will need a signed model release from that person.
A property release is a legal release signed by the owner of property used in a photograph or video granting permission to use or publish the photograph or video in one form or another.
If you are including the depiction of recognizable private property on video on video, photograph, or a traced illustration, you will need a signed location release from the property owner.
Authors do not need one for public property, such as government buildings (although you may run into problems just from photographing/videoing them, for security reasons!). But for images of private property — and particularly of objects that are closely identified with specific people — photographers are urged to get a release.
Most animals in zoos are the property of the zoo and usually cannot be used for commercial purposes without the consent of the zoo.
Commercial vs Editorial Use
If an image featuring people or property is used in an advertisement or promotion it requires a release form, but the author may be able to sell an image for "Editorial use" even if it doesn't have a release. Since, at this point in time Envato does not offer Editorial licenses, any image, likeness, or depiction uploaded to the PhotoDune site containing an easily recognised person or prominent, trade-mark protected property must have attached to it the correct forms.
Commercial Use: Defined as any media to which money exchanges hands. Money could be paid for the subject of the photograph/footage/media or the media itself. Wholesale, retail, and professional uses of photography would fall under this definition. The commercial photographic world could include: Advertising photography – photographs made to illustrate and usually sell a service or product. These images are generally done with an advertising agency, design firm or with an in-house corporate design team.
Editorial Use: when an image is used in conjunction with, and to illustrate, a news related story or any non-commercial text demanding imagery. Examples include magazines, newspapers, features and books.

An increasing number of mothers are opting for post-baby surgery such as "tummy tucks" to get back into shape quickly, according to new figures.
Cosmetic surgery company The Harley Medical Group is reporting a 36% year-on-year rise in abdonimoplasty, carrying out 2,000 post-natal procedures last year. Group director Liz Dale said the company found women resented celebrity mothers who had surgery but were not forthcoming about how they had got their figures back.

Your mini skirts don't have to go to the back of the closet come fall. Instead, you can pair a mini skirt with a slouchy sweater, dark tights and knee-high boots for a chic, trendy look. Make sure the fabric is appropriate though. Denim, cotton twill and wool skirts work in the fall and winter. On the other hand, a sheer skirt probably isn't appropriate. You can also wear your mini skirt over leggings with ballet flats in the fall.
In the summertime, you may have a couple of thin, knit sweaters that you wear for cool evenings as a cover-up at the pool or in the office when the air-conditioning is too much. For the fall, take your summer sweater and layer it with a tank top or camisole underneath. Wear it over a pair of jeans or wool pants and then add a pair of boots for a fresh, autumn look.
Cotton, knit and microfiber dresses can transition easily from summer to fall. If the dress is lightweight, make it a little heavier by layering a cardigan on top. Like the mini skirt, you can wear dark color stockings or boots when the cool weather sets in. Maxi dresses will continue to be popular this fall. Instead of wearing them with sandals, add a kitten heel slingback or a ballerina flat.
You can completely change the look of an outfit with the right accessories. Add a wool scarf or wrap along with a beret. Choose fall colors such as plum, burgundy, forest green, chocolate brown and gray. You can also pick plaids, animal prints, dark florals and other graphic patterns.
Change your handbag from the woven one you have been carrying all summer to a darker, leather bag for the fall. Select deep colors and bags with a lot of buckles, studs and other hardware for some bulk. Jewelry can also make a difference. Instead of the colorful, chunky beads of summer, wear gemstone jewelry for fall. Thick cuff bracelets are also terrific options for statement jewelry.
