In Rebellion, you play as Mandella, colonel in the Confederation, a powerful military force. At the beginning, you explore the mothership as you're asked by admiral Spade to attend your briefing. You'll discover that you're part of the first attack wave sent to storm Tor29, a little colony lost in the Nephele system. Accompanied by your best friend, major Threepwood, you'll face an oddly weak resistance. Why does the Confederation unleash its wrath on a colony that is clearly of no match? What hides behind this conflict driven by doubtful justifications? These obscure reasons are not to please you and Threepwood. Will you carry on following blindly an authority fouled by power and arrogance? Or will you break your former links and embrace a cause that seems fairer to you, however desperate it may be? Maybe these are favourable times for... Rebellion.

Kesha Tweets About Whitney Houston's Death Nearly 24 Hours Later
Kesha issued a heartfelt tweet about the death of Whitney Houston this afternoon. She posted: "i cannot even believe it. RIP Whitney. my love goes out to family+friends+her mourning fans. #speechless." Simple enough, right? A reaction that mimicked the rest of the pop music universe, yes? No, not really.
This tweet immediately responded to, by one of her followers, who wrote: "that happened like, yesterday, fire whoever tells you the news." Yes, the tragic event happened yesterday, but it's all the music and entertainment media is talking about today and for the foreseeable future.
Is Kesha's tardy mention really that big of a deal? Not really, in the grand scheme of things, but it's surprising that the 'Tik Tok' singer posted a tweet nearly 24 hours after the fact. In this day and age, where information is instant, thanks to the digital world we live in, it's almost unfathomable that a pop star is just getting around to finding out this major piece of news and addressing it. Houston's fellow pop stars, as well as a whole host of country and rock stars, memorialized Houston in their digital and online spaces immediately.
It's not like Kesha was offline all day and incommunicado. She was tweeting a bunch yesterday, so she's a bit late hopping aboard the Whitney Houston eulogy tweet train, since most news outlets have already moved on to the autopsy and reporting about Houston's teenage daughter Bobbi Kristina, who was rushed to the hospital twice and is said to be inconsolable at the loss of her mother.
Kesha broke a few rules of Twitter and pop music etiquette today.

New releases from Arterberry Maresh
We started with the 2008 Arterberry Maresh Chardonnay Maresh Vineyard. Old vine 108 clone, harvest late, this bottling from a single Dargaud & Jagele light toast barrel that took more than a year to finish fermenting. Maybe there's a little sugar leftover, maybe not, there's fat flavor but the acid balance and freshness is terrific. With lots of lemon, sweet cream and hazelnuts, it's white Burg on the nose but broad tasting Oregon chard on the palate. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it's a little hazy too. Really, really good.
Then the 2007 Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noit Gherts Vineyard, actually a single barrel of purchased wine from another producer who didn't think it fit the profile they were looking for. Apparently from grapes picked before the rain, the wine has deep color uncommon in 2007. There's a little musky, hard to pin down something in the aroma, but I love this. Lots of ripe fruit, subtle wood, full flavors in the mouth but really nicely refined and long. While I think many '07s are beautiful, they can also be delicate and I wonder about how long they really need to be cellared. This one, though, could last a while and maybe should sleep for a few before it shows its best.
Then onto 2008 reds. First, the 2008 Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Dundee Hills, Jim's $25 cuvee that's tremendous value. Most wineries would like this at their high end level. Fragrant, silky but also wound up and needing time to reveal itself, I really liked this. Then the 2008 Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Julliard Vineyard, down Worden Hill Road from Maresh vineyard and indeed a world away from the higher vineyard's pure red fruit tone. This has bass notes with a darker fruit profile and really tight structure. Right now, it's a little challenging to drink. But in time this will stun.
Jim and I hung out with some others talking wine and winemaking. Ji'm vocal about barreling wine more than a year, not for the oak profile but the curing aspect of barrel aging. Wines gain an intensity and vinosity from extended aging, perhaps even a savory quality. Some people like bottling early to preserve fruitiness. Some do it to get wine to market more quickly. Some early bottled wines are superb, so it's not like you have to wait. But Jim's wines, like those of the producers who mentored him, show what longer aging can give you. Assuming the source material is really good, of course. We weren't all born on Worden Hill Road, but Jim was and the place is in his wines.

Interesting, but not surprising to read your comments about Jim. His talent and brash enthusiasm shines through. I will enjoy watching him blossom over the coming years. Did you meet him at a general tasting or a specific appt? Do you have prices on the single vineyard bottlings? I imagine he is producing much more wine with 2008 and certainly more with the abundant 2009. Good for him. Thanks for the notes Vincent!
- Vincent Fritzsche said...
We were just hanging out and he had some bottles open. 2008 was a short crop and, in my experience, low yield of wine per ton of grapes. By contrast, 2009 was a big crop. Jim made a fair amount in 2008 but took quite a jump in '09. Don't know the exact amounts off hand. The Dundee Hills pinot is $25 retail. The single vineyard stuff is aroun $50, maybe $55. Not cheap, but this is really, really good stuff.

Chris, sorry we didn't mean to leave you out, KITE NAKED rocks!
I wont look down on anyone who uses a snap shackle, the Dyneema on the Dynabar V7XT does have an emergency release.
My only advice would be to find a way to incorporate the bungee, it makes the movement so much smoother.
That (in my opinion) is what makes it so much better in the Dynabar vs. Dakine debate. The Dakine version of a "sliding bar" is very rough and although it moves, does not really slide.
Note: You could actually run the bungee (newer versions) through the ring on the Dyneema slider to adapt it to your "Shackle set up".

Although nearly everybody knows of this wonderful dessert, authentic recipes for it are rare.–Elizabeth David
LC Authenticity Can Be Overrated Note
With apologies to Ms. David, who deems only summer pudding made with raspberries and red currants to be a proper summer pudding, we're partial to the thinking that any berries—including a melange of the tiny orbs—tend to make a pretty darn good pudding. We especially like jumbling assorted varieties and oohing at the tie-dye effect. What can we say. We're rebels.
Summer Pudding
- Quick Glance
- Enough for four people
- 1 pound raspberries
- 1/4 pound red currants
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 loaf sliced white bread, day old
- Heavy cream, if desired
- 1. To make the summer pudding recipe, heat the raspberries, red currants, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not add any water. Cook them only 2 or 3 minutes, and leave to cool.
- 2. Line a fairly deep round dish (a soufflé dish would suffice) with slices of one-day-old white bread with the crust removed. The bread should be of the thickness usual for sandwiches. The dish must be completely lined, bottom and sides, with no space through which the juice can escape. Fill up with the fruit, but reserve some of the juice. Cover the fruit with a complete layer of bread. On top put a plate which fits exactly inside the dish, and on the plate put a 2- to 3-pound weight. Leave overnight in the refrigerator.
- 3. When ready to serve turn the pudding out onto a dish (not a completely flat one, or the juice will overflow) and pour over it the reserved juice. Heavy cream is usually served with summer pudding, but it's almost more delicious without.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

You are not required to hire an attorney, but legal matters can be complicated. Consider talking to an attorney to go over your options. See the Finding Legal Help page for information about free and low cost ways to get legal help.
Como encontrar ayuda legal
Usted no está obligado a contratar un abogado, pero los asuntos legales pueden ser complicados. Considere la posibilidad de hablar con un abogado para hablar de sus opciones. Para información sobre cómo obtener ayuda legal vea nuestra página Como encontrar ayuda legal.
Finding Legal Help
An attorney is a professionally trained and licensed individual who helps people with legal problems. They advise people about their legal rights and options, prepare legal documents and represent people in courts and government agencies. See the Utah State Bar's Tips on Finding a Utah Attorney web page for more information.
Finding a Lawyer
Lawyer Directories
Use one of these directories to find a lawyer, or ask friends and family to recommend an lawyer. Court staff cannot recommend lawyers.
- Utah State Bar's attorney directory to search for attorneys by area of practice.
- Labor Commission's List of Anti-Discrimination & Labor lawyers
- List of Parental Defense Attorneys
Guardianship Signature Program
The Guardianship Signature Program provides a lawyer for the respondent, or disabled person, in Adult Guardianship and Conservatorship cases. Depending on the respondent's assets or income, the representation may be free or based on a sliding scale of fees. Click on the link for more information.
Other Ways to Hire a Lawyer
Many people think they can't afford to hire an attorney. Here are two options provided by the Utah State Bar that may help:
Modest Means Lawyer Referral Program
The Utah State Bar's Modest Means Lawyer Referral Program provides access to legal representation for people whose income is too high to qualify for free legal services, but too low to pay a lawyer's standard rate. In order to qualify you must fall below the income guidelines. See their webpage for program information.
Limited Legal Help
Limited legal help, also known as "limited scope legal representation" or "unbundled services" is an agreement between an attorney and client that the lawyer will provide specific services for a predetermined fee. For example, the lawyer and client could agree that the lawyer:
- will only advise the client about the strength of the case, or
- help draft a document, or
- review a document the client has drafted, or
- coach the client for a negotiation, or
- help with the discovery process, or
- coach the client for a hearing, or
- appear in court on behalf of the client for one hearing only, or
- any combination of these kinds of services
Search the Utah State Bar's attorney directory for lawyers who offer limited legal help.
See the Utah State Bar's Overview of Public Service Programs, Information, and Resources web page for more information about working with lawyers
Complaints About Attorneys
The Utah State Bar's Consumer Assistance Program is designed to help resolve conflicts between clients and their attorneys. This program also allows you to file a complaint against an attorney besides your own.
The Bar also offers a Fee Dispute Resolution Program to work out fee disputes between clients and their attorneys.
Unauthorized Practice of Law
Only attorneys licensed by the Utah State Bar can practice law in Utah. Paralegals, notarios, immigration consultants and others may not give legal advice or otherwise practice law unless they are licensed attorneys. You can use the Utah State Bar's attorney directory to see if someone is a licensed Utah attorney.
Supreme Court Rule of Professional Practice 14-802 defines the practice of law. The rule also says that giving clerical help to fill out court forms is not the practice of law if no fee is charged.
If you believe someone is practicing law without a license, you can report them to the Utah State Bar. For more information, see the Utah State Bar's Unauthorized Practice of Law web page.
Law Libraries
Law libraries have print and online resources including statutes, regulations, court rules, and court decisions, as well as legal encyclopedias, form books, and books about specific areas of law. Most law books are written for legal professionals, but some books are written for non-lawyers. Law library staff can't give you legal advice, but they can show you how to use their resources.

Don't you sometimes dream about much simpler country life? Would have such living benefits for your health? Absolutely yes. Some people would disagree and tell you that there are cinemas or pubs missing. Probably they are right. But the question is: is this what you want for your children? Smog, chaos, mindless people, fighting in supermarkets, no contact with nature, traveling anywhere with your car? Drifting between work, shopping and watching TV or loading toxic drinks at pub?

I am happy to inform you all that we have a new set of twin goats on the block... my girls told me over the phone just before I began my night shift. Apparently "Saddle girl", the Mum goat who has a pattern of a saddle on her back, had some cute twins with long ears... they are quite possibly offspring of the late Billie the Goat. Can't wait to show everyone pictures.
Since it is already November I am starting to panic that there is so much to do and not enough time to do it in the year. I guess alot of people feel this way right? Nick will be preparing for High School, Tom is going into year 9 next year.. he has his cadet camp coming up, Nick has his end of year performance for guitar... and....on the same day we have Hubbie's Christmas social gathering for the family to attend. We have to go to an information night on the lame laptops that the school will "rent out to us", but we shall see, there are bad reports on the model of netbook they have the students using at the school. We may end up buying the boys their own laptops, shudder....
This past week and a bit I have worked on Cardio Thoracics, Renal, Medical, Respiratory, Trauma and now Rehabilitation Units. Variety IS the spice of life. No time to be tired. Am just trying not to be such an unbearable grump. xoxo

You're certainly keeping busy!!!
I've been hearing rumours about netbooks and internet access at Feral Teens school, too.
Hope your baby goats are happy and healthy :)

A full and happy life!

Can't wait to see the twins!
- Andrew said...
The netbook matter seems very odd, as do the laptops teachers have been offered. We'll see the new kids soon.
- Cazzie!!! said...
Jayne, will there be information evenings on the netbooks at his school?
Mom, yes it sure is :)
Ginnie, I will get the camera off of hubby and put them up :)
Andrew, it sure does seem odd. Hubby will ask all the questions that I am sure every parent has on their mind at the information evening he will attend.

Harvard-led team detects gravitational waves, evidence of cosmic inflation
CAMBRIDGE — In a landmark discovery about the first moments of the universe, a team led by a Harvard astronomer announced Monday it had found proof of what happened just after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago:
Using a telescope at the South Pole, the scientists detected a distinct pattern in the distant cosmos that reveals there was a hyper-expansion of our universe known as inflation.
The scientists also captured the first images of gravitational waves, which were predicted a century ago by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. And they made the first measurement of a type of radiation predicted by famed British cosmologist Stephen Hawking.
Scientists hailed the discovery as a transformative event that will provide deep and complicated questions for physicists to explore as well as transfix the imagination to the broader public, because it gives insight into a foundational question in physics: how did the universe begin?
"This is one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time,'' said Max Tegmark, a physicist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was not involved in the work but attended the announcement in a packed auditorium at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "It's just like when something big happens in your personal life and you keep waking up and saying, 'Whoa!' I keep having these 'whoa!' moments. This is absolutely spectacular.''
The theory of cosmic inflation was proposed by MIT physicist Alan Guth in 1980, because simpler models of the Big Bang could not explain some features of the universe as it appears today, such as how uniform it is across the sky. Guth describes inflation as the "bang'' of the Big Bang.
Inflation proposes that the initial expansion of the universe was caused by a repulsive form of gravity — opposite the normal way of thinking about gravity as an attractive force. The initial patch of the universe that underwent inflation would have been unbelievably small, about one-billionth of the size of a proton, and then it would have expanded exponentially. In the slightest fraction of a second, the universe would have doubled in size 100 times.
As the university continues to expand today, "what we see now is still a coasting expansion, originating from the Big Bang,'' Guth said.
As Guth's initial idea has been refined and developed by other scientists over the years, its predictions seemed to be bearing out. But there was still no direct evidence for inflation and it was unclear whether the theory would ever have proof to bolster it. The energy needed to recreate the conditions of the early universe in a particle accelerator — 10 trillion times higher than what is produced at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland — were so high that it was unfeasible.
The Harvard-led team took a different approach. One prediction of the theory is that the rapid expansion would have left behind a fingerprint — a particular pattern of polarized light in the cosmic microwave background. The pattern is created when the faint light all across the sky that is the afterglow of the Big Bang, emitted 380,000 years after the explosion, interacted with gravitational waves.
Using a telescope called BICEP2 at the South Pole, the team claims to have detected that swirly polarization pattern, called B-mode polarization. If confirmed by other experiments, it will be strong evidence of inflation and help guide scientists to which particular version of inflation is the correct one.
"I think we can think of this measurement today as opening a new window up on what we believe to be a new regime of physics, the physics of what happens in the first unbelievably tiny fraction of a second in the universe, and at extremely high energies,'' said John Kovac, the team leader and an associate professor of astronomy at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center.
He and other team members wore matching T-shirts with a map of the South Pole on the back. Outside the auditorium, an image of Rosie the Riveter was left near copies of the scientific papers, with the motto "We can do it!'' replaced by "We detected it!''
Guth said Kovac e-mailed him to tell him he had some urgent news, then came to Guth's office at MIT and disclosed the results last week.
"I was ecstatic,'' said Guth. "I hope this will sort of put the nail in the coffin, and define inflation as being the theory.''
Andrei Linde, a Stanford University physicist who developed Guth's theory further and put forth a version of inflation called chaotic inflation, said he was cautious because the discovery was so profound. He said the team that made the measurements is extremely strong, but as with all science, the work must be repeated by others. If true, he said, the finding is worthy of a Nobel Prize.
"The signal is compatible with models which I proposed a long time ago, so for me, this is fantastic news,'' Linde said. "For the general theory of relativity, for Einstein's theory, it's fantastic news because the gravitational waves is part of Einstein's theory, never seen — just like the discovery of the Higgs boson was necessary for proving the standard model of particles.''
The scientists emphasized that they were eager to see other competing experiments confirm their results, and that a faster and more powerful version of the telescope called BICEP 3 now being built will allow them to probe even further the polarization pattern to learn more about inflation.
Marc Kamionkowski, a physics and astronomy professor from Johns Hopkins University, called the new data "cosmology's missing link'' and was like hitting a grand slam in baseball.
The discovery comes at a historic time — a half-century after a pair of scientists at Bell Labs used a horn-shaped antenna on top of a hill in New Jersey to make measurements of microwave radiation. They saw a stubborn, noisy background signal in their data, and despite efforts to get rid of it, it remained. Eventually, they realized it wasn't due to faulty equipment, but was actually the faint afterglow of the Big Bang.
That measurement spurred a revolution in cosmology, finally confirming that the universe had a discrete beginning — and allowing scientists to discard the longstanding "Steady State theory,'' which said that the universe had always existed. It also sparked careful study of the cosmic microwave background, which has provided new insight into the structure and formation of our universe.
"I guess one can never rule out some other theory coming along which does something better, but this [discovery] really seems to make a pretty tight story from very early time to now, and that's very satisfying,'' said Robert W. Wilson, a Harvard astronomer who co-discovered the cosmic microwave background in 1964 at Bell Labs and shared the Nobel Prize for the work. "I was a little bit skeptical of inflation, but now it looks like it's really a pretty tight fit.''

Brain Teasers
Fun: (2.23) Difficulty: (2.92) Puzzle ID: #8705
Submitted By: something Corrected By: Winner4600
Submitted By: something Corrected By: Winner4600
Probability Probability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
A jar begins with one amoeba. Every minute, every amoeba turns into 0, 1, 2, or 3 amoebas with a probability of 25% for each case (dies, does nothing, splits into 2, or splits into 3). What is the probability that the amoeba population eventually dies out?
AnswerIf p is the probability that a single amoeba's descendants will die out eventually, the probability that N amoebas' descendants will all die out eventually must be p^N, since each amoeba is independent of every other amoeba. Also, the probability that a single amoeba's descendants will die out must be independent of time when averaged over all the possibilities. At t=0, the probability is p, at t=1 the probability is 0.25(p^0+p^1+p^2+p^3), and these probabilities must be equal. Extinction probability p is a root of f(p)=p. In this case, p = sqrt(2)-1.
The generating function for the sequence P(n,i), which gives the probability of i amoebas after n minutes, is f^n(x), where f^n(x) == f^(n-1) ( f(x) ), f^0(x) == x . That is, f^n is the nth composition of f with itself.
Then f^n(0) gives the probability of 0 amoebas after n minutes, since f^n(0) = P(n,0). We then note that:
f^(n+1)(x) = ( 1 + f^n(x) + (f^n(x))^2 + (f^n(x))^3 )/4
so that if f^(n+1)(0) -> f^n(0) we can solve the equation.
The generating function also gives an expression for the expectation value of the number of amoebas after n minutes. This is d/dx(f^n(x)) evaluated at x=1. Using the chain rule we get f'(f^(n-1)(x))*d/dx(f^(n-1)(x)) and since f'(1) = 1.5 and f(1) = 1, we see that the result is just 1.5^n, as might be expected.

The boxes are piling up and the love is pouring in.
The boxes are piling up and the love is pouring in.
To understand, just browse through the conference room at the newspaper, which has been for the past few years a depository for all things Boxes of Love and Semper Fi Sisters.
The Sisters, who will begin to arrive in two weeks, will finish their annual Beach Blast, their fifth, on Oct. 19 with a packing party for Boxes of Love.
Those boxes, and the aim is to top last year�s 1,200, will be sent to deployed soldiers overseas, particularly Afghanistan and Iraq.
And as happens as the weeks wind down, the UPS and Fed Ex delivery folks are carting in to the office boxes of increasing size and quantity.
From Long Island, NY to Mullen, NE Grand Rapids, Mich, with a bit of Easton, PA and Savannah, GA in the mix.
And those are the boxes among the stacks for which we can actually make out the labels.
Locals are on board to as Centennial Bank branches put up donation boxes and the Piggly Wiggly and Harold�s Auto Parts become part of the drive.
�We have received generous support and donations from the VFW and American Legion here in Port St. Joe,� said Semper Fi Sisters president Brenda Garth.
The Sisters raffled a GPS fish finder at the Gulf County Sheriff�s Office Bass Tournament, the proceeds helping to ship as many as 50 boxes overseas.
The local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution provided postage funds.
Preston Russ with Coastal Realty and Brian and Scott of Coastal Joe Vacation Rentals joined to donated a welcome to Gulf County lunch and afternoon treats for the arriving Sisters on Oct. 16.
And for the fifth consecutive year Smiley�s Beach Rentals will roll out the complementary beach chairs and umbrellas for the Sisters.
�George Duren will continue to support our efforts and Forgotten Coast Highway donated some bright beachwear and bags for our annual basket raffle, which helps raise funds for shipping the Boxes of Love,� Garth said.
Laura Adams of Dog Grooming Plus is collecting funds for items specifically requested for military working dogs and their handlers.
As always, on packing day, the Semper Fi Sisters will host their Market Place at the Centennial Building offering a variety of crafts and wares for sale, assisting with postage.
And, of course, the Basket Raffle.
The city of Port St. Joe lends support with the use of the Centennial Building for the packing party and the Gulf County Tourist Development Council provided grant support.
Lest any forget the impact of those Boxes of Love on the troops, consider Sarah House, a Port St. Joe native soon to be deployed to Afghanistan for the second time.
�Like most care packages that are received (Boxes of Love) are always shared,� House wrote in an email from California. �We�re all family. It is always a good day when we get mail. Everyone anticipates mail day, it is almost like Christmas. It is a huge morale booster.
�Honestly, we appreciate anyone and everyone what supports us. Whether it is by sending packages, cards or just sending up an extra prayer at night or during the day for us. It reminds what and who we fight for, why we wear this uniform and what makes our country so great. The biggest thing I can say to our supporters is thank you from the bottom of my heart.�
Donations for the Boxes of Love can be dropped off at any branch of Centennial Bank, Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe, Harold�s Auto Parts in Wewahitchka.
An account to help defray shipping costs for the Boxes of Love has been set up at Centennial Bank.

I'd heard for years about Wal-Mart selling guns, but it was only today that I decided to go to Wal-Mart's Web site and see for myself.
There they are. Big as life. Guns manufactured for police and the military, that Wal-Mart is selling for "home defense" and "recreation."
None of them look like anything anyone needs to defend their home, or to hunt. They're all fetish toys for men and women who revere violence – and Walmart, among others, is happy to pander to America's fetish for violence. Look at these things:
Here's one in particular, the Sig Sauer M400. I love this description:
Designed for use in law enforcement, military operations, the sporting field and competitive shooting.
Other than handcuffs for sex, you have to ask yourself how many things are manufactured for military and police, but also "the sporting field"?
Here's the M400. Sporty, isn't it?
And here's a helpful review on WalMart's site:
I particularly got a kick out of this review, "great home defense weapon." Yeah, if you're expecting imperial storm troopers.
You have to ask, home defense against what? When you're buying that kind of hardware, you're not preparing for a burglar. You're stockpiling "the government." And that's really what a lot of this gun fetish comes down to, crazy right-wingers who are preparing for either the judgment day, or the overthrow of the US government. Either way, it's not much of an argument for selling this kind of garbage at Walmart.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
As the polls closed in Israel's 2013 general election, officials recorded high voter turnout, and exit polls showed a very narrow victory for the currently ruling right-wing parties.
At least 64 percent of eligible Israeli voters turned out on Tuesday, the highest turnout since the hotly contested 1999 election.
As expected, exit polls showed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party will remain the largest faction in the Knesset, but the results were far from impressive for the ruling party.
According to exit polls, the combined Likud-Israel Beiteinu faction won just 31 seats in the next Knesset, and the right-wing overall will control 61 seats to the left's 59.
That means that while Netanyahu will still likely be the obvious choice to form the next government, he won't have an easy time forging a stable coalition.
The other surprise was that the Yesh Atid party, headed by popular former television personality Yair Lapid, will apparently be the second largest Knesset faction with 18-19 seats, having nudged out the Labor Party, which polls show won 17 seats.
That might actually make things easier on Netanyahu, as Lapid has signaled he is ready to join a coalition with Likud, whereas Labor leader Shelley Yechimovich rejected such a possibility while on the campaign trail.
The Jewish Home party under charismatic new leader Naftali Bennett polled at a somewhat disappointing 12 seats, after surveys leading up to the election predicted it would do much better.

News from Around Linux World
Dell announced that the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, has selected Dell to provide more than 1,450 servers for a large-scale, high-performance computing cluster. The Intel Xeon- and Red Hat Linux-based cluster is expected to have a peak performance of 17.7 teraflops (17.7 trillion calculations per second), making it one of the world's fastest supercomputers when compared to the peak performance of the machines listed on the most recently released Top 500 list (http://www.top500.org).
SGI said that it will extend the scalability of its Altix 3000 servers to encompass a record 128 processors within a single instance of Linux. SGI, which already provides 64-processor (Itanium 2) Altix 3000 systems, intends to site-test 128-processor systems with national laboratories and leading universities around the world. Initial results of testing in customer laboratories are expected as this magazine goes to press.
Sun Microsystems and SuSE Linux launched a global alliance to co-promote Java and SuSE Linux. Under the terms of the agreement, SuSE will become a Java 2 Standard Edition source licensee and will distribute Sun's Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Reciprocally, Sun will sell, ship, and provide full customer support for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 on Sun's Intel-based systems.
Novell purchased four-year-old Linux start-up Ximian. The deal, estimated to be worth $15-$20 million, will likely leave Ximian as an independently operating subsidiary. Ximian president and CEO David Patrick will assume the role of general manager of Novell's new Ximian Services business unit; Miguel de Icaza will remain as CTO.

Welcome to the future with 50y old technology. There is an obscure emacs extension, swank js, that runs a nodejs daemon that speaks slime to emacs.
It allows you to work with js the same way you'd work with lisp, evaling lines or buffers into a live nodejs instance.
I use it (in combination with org-babel) to talk to live instances of remote services, to inspect data, experiment, but also as kind of an on-the-fly UI
It allows you to inject js into a browser as well, handy for js dev or even on the fly data scraping/web manipulation. Super useful yet not very well known.
Are you having trouble falling asleep during conversations?
Are you in a disco, finding in hard to focus on computer programming?
I have a solution for you, just pop one of these babies in. http://lesh.sysphere.org/dump/weirdforest.mp3
Its a sound that I made that I play when I need to focus and zone out. It has some rain, weird thunder, owls, someone shuffling sticks around and whale noises of course.
I guess it will sound a bit ominous at first but it grows on you
I feel like people aren't freaking out enough about how awesome it is that big universities are publishing their lectures online, some of my favorite ones are
Justice, Michael Sandel (Harward)
Human Behavioral Biology, Sapolsky (Stanford)
I turned these into podcasts that you can download here
about behavioral biology letures, in order to fall in love with Sapolsky, check his short talk on toxoplasmosis parasite
Also, I think his lecture on biological underpinnings of religiosity that is a part of this course is not in the playlist, I think because its pretty controversial, you can find it as an old recording here
will add more stuff to this folder with time.
Had to implement some small but serious infrastructure.
Needed some usual things for internet operations these days like system monitoring, smart logging, graphing and alerting, high availiability, cloud, ids/ips, and mucho security.
Did this many times for random projects but this one was more serious and so I decided to rethink everything with focus on the security infrastructure. Manuals were read and quite a few quick projects were made and there is more to come so this post will be updated with time. I'll quickly go through the novel things I implemented and novel thoughs I have on the subject. This post will be a mess and there is a lot to write,
this is boring and already exists but I like the way I do things.
lego is a node app plugin system, works by looking for node_modules modules with certain prefix, supports dependency trees and a central config file.
ribcage implements some common things apps need, works on top of lego, has plugins to do logging, remote logging, db connections, web server and some such.
munin is a collection of perl? scripts from '98 ran by crontab. UGH. nagios is.. yeah, same thing.
went with logstash -> elasticsearch -> kibana for data collection/graphing and riemann for alerting. Didn't figure out active system checks yet (a job for nagios usually. stuff like pinging, checking if websites render correctly, potentially crawling them and such)
all kinds of apps write to logstash. my node apps, log data collectors (lumberjack), local system checks IDS, and such, it works well. Data from everywhere is aggregated and graphed together. I've written something simmilar to this stack as one off apps for debugging complex architecture a bunch of times, was very happy to find out that someone actually already works on such a thing pretty seriously.
didn't like collectd as it seemed like something that hangs out in a munin/nagios oldies crowd. so I wrote:
it supports plugins, they are super easy to write. one of the plugins is a meta plugin that runs munin scripts because I'd rather kill myself then write all these data collectors myself.
csi-internet is there for you if you want to draw some computer stuff on a map. Also good to impress your girlfriend if she got used to cmatrix. As a test of a graphing engine it can ping around, do traceroutes and draw heatmaps. Messy atm as looking at pictures was more fun then looking at good code. work in progress. works on top of d3 and datamaps.
Writing tons of iptables rules is for robots and not humans and so I'd fuck it up eventually. pyromaniac is a thing that renders JSON into iptables commands.

this program is highly specific to my scenario (machines behind a NAT hypervisor with strict control of each connection) I'm showing an aproach here more then sharing my code as something that will work for you.
I really like this part, but will write it up later when I have more to show
Initially I will use two different sensors for obstacle avoidance. lidar for closer range 2D image of space (obscale avoidance, scanning ground before landing, maybe SLAM)
and laser rangefinder for long range 1D distance sensing (looking for high buildings, maintaining altitude precisely, maybe high speed obstacle avoidance)
I went with cheapo robopeak hobby lidar, which seems to work well, here is a git repo for the library (node and beaglebone) (I also considered a lightweight hokuyo lidar) and for laser range finder I'll go with something like SF02 from paralax
these might be used in combination with some simple IR or just cameras (need more CPU but could double as optical flow sensors) used to locate becaons for landing or grabbing things
Ideally, both sensors should have an unobstructed front view on pitch dimension, with aditional unobstructed jaw dimension for LIDAR. Both sensors need to be able to independantly rotate on pitch axis for compensation of the angle of the drone when flying, and for scanning up and down (going in through windows, looking down when landing, etc) maybe rangefinder should also rotate on jaw axis on some fast servos for looking around independant of the drone orientation. not sure yet.
IR and ultrasound were also options, they are cheap but tricky and unreliable, (ultrasound behaves extra badly due to propeller noise on drones) These things can be compensated for, but laser rangefinding will always afaik give more accuracy and reliability at a price.
people often ask me why I own a drone, what is it for, and then half of the time they say that I could use it to record weddings and get some cash flowin'
If mention of recording weddings doesn't kill all my will for conversation, I'll say drones are so simple to make these days that I find it hard to justify not owning one. also, at the time there is no regulation and no one ever counts on you owning a flying robot, so its a sweet spot to own one. a drone is a flying sidekick, it can, in theory, do whatever a flying sidekick can do. it can enter through windows and steal jewlery with its tiny robot hands. Sounds ridicilous but technically it is not hard to do. In the following years we'll have to rethink space and what can be done, and before that happens, I get to be a kind of a superhero.
today, drones are very primitive. I'll fix some parts that I care about. and if I make anything useful, Im guessing drone related kickstarter projects would be welcome.
a few ideas,
few concrete things to work on, sorted by priority
this is a lot of work, but none of it is far fetched and all of this will be done soon, if not by me, then by someone else

So, we'd like to carry a boat for going down rivers and exploring curious things on water, while being self sufficient with food and camping equipment. Giving up on the boat and building bamboo rafts was one of the propositions:) We ended up buying a small 12kg inflatible kayak that packs in a 60L backpack,
I've discovered today that we are completely defeated by this awesome guy 200 years ago.
1840s, Peter Halkett Invented an unusual boat.
Halkett had long been interested in the difficulties of travelling in the Canadian Arctic, and the problems involved in designing boats light enough to be carried over arduous terrain, but robust enough to be used in extreme weather conditions. the hull of the boat could be worn as a cloak, the oar used as a walking stick, and the sail as an umbrella
Spurred on by the successful testing of the boat-cloak, Halkett designed a larger version that folded into a knapsack. When inflated, it could carry two men, operating a paddle on each side, and when deflated served as a waterproof blanket to allow the users to camp on wet ground Although the Admiralty saw no use to which Halkett's designs could be put in general naval service, this larger design was extremely well received by explorers
Ended up sneaking past a few guards, one of them taking a shower. The building below us has 20-30 stories, I'm guessing the crane was 80-100m high? A long climb. Where do crane workers go to toilet? Also. my god! I want to do this again.
"Ivan I don't know what kind of thing can satisfy us.
After the crane.
Crane was awesome, it was dinosaur and monster.
After the crane, I feel a little bit empty, that's the thing."
- Kanghee Rhee
We are talking to a random french couple, answering common questions and ending up explaining that we've met by going into the subway tunnels through an airduct. They mention seeing some photos of us climbing a building in hongdae park and I wonder if that was the night when the crazy guy in the underwear climbed it with us. At some point I say something like
remember that girl from yesterday that wanted us to smuggle diamonds from africa? I think she might be a stripper.
To which a guy asks us if those are real events or are we talking about a spy movie, and I realize how weird our conversation sounds from another persons perspective, and how most of the things that have been happening would sound, and I conclude that we did good.
I bought a climbing equipment and all places are reacheable now. I'm living with Kanghee, and a great group of friends are around. We are planning to buy a ~15 meter sailboat and sail through philipines to papua new guinea next year. we'll see how that goes. we'll have a lot to learn before doing this.
I wrote down few phrases in japanese and went hitchiking towards the I read abandoned jungle theme park about online.
It was super easy. a lot of japanese react as if someone is doing something insane and exciting and are happy about it. Most of them are also too shy to stop and they would even cover their smiling faces if I maintained eye contact for too long <3
Izu peninsula has two sides, people call them a female and male side, one is full of fine sand beaches and the other is made of rough steep vulcanic rocks.. I'm guessing that strong waves tend to hit it from the female side.
My favorite ride was this businessman, it seemed that what was happening was a way bigger adventure for him then for me. He would start laughing histerically out of excitement whenever I'd speak. So naturally, I wanted to speak as much as possible but that was hard as he didn't understand any english.
Arrived to Irozaki port-o fairly quickly and started a hike up the hill towards where the jungle theme park is supposed to be.
Found bunch of abandoned buildings and infrastructure at the top but couldn't find the main dome, ended up exploring the peninsula.
Climbed an antenna tower to look around (kinda. half way. it was scarry. note to self - learn how to make a harness out of climbing rope, I could have secured myself). found the dome - its not a dome. didn't look at the online photos good enough, and found a coast that looked so amazing that it stole my attention. I wanted to quickly check it out before heading out to the park but the place was great and I ended up spending the night.
Everything seemed totally devoid of life but it turns out, the place becomes a spiderland during the night. I don't know what they eat, each other? I tucked my shirt in my pants.
I'm super happy with the funny-shoes. Japanese people say b ooooooooooo ninja shoesb and they are right! they are quiet and great for climbing and I have a lot of control on the rough terrain. a downside is that you freak people (including yourself) out, and need to talk about them a lot. its not worth it in the city.
It was a great night. I realized that I was alone for the first time in three months. There was a huge lighthouse spotlight sweeping the panorama and big ships passing by on their way towards port of Tokyo. The next morning I discovered that all the bread I bought is filled with chocolate and that all the cans I have are the same discusting fish. Had a breakfast that stimulated my taste buds and left to quickly explore the rest of the theme park.
Turns out, a few years have passed and big parts of the park are overgrown now. It was quite late and quite hot and quite overgrown and there was noone around to encourage me so I decided to keep going towards Kyoto and give up on getting inside.
on the way there I couldn't pass on the opportunity to sneak into some classuy star hotel onsen for the third time.
ok, enough writing!
I'll finish this later or never. pictures are on Flickr
Japan has a notoriously high suicide rate, which doesn't seem entirely justified considering it's 10th in the world, with south korea for example being 50% worse.
This forest was always shifty, but its popularity grew due to a contraversial book, The Complete Manual of Suicide where it is described as the perfect place to die. Over 100 bodies per year are discovered there, a lot more probably don't ever get found.
I don't want to repeat things too much, vice has a good 20 minute documentary on it.
To make things comically creepy, the forest lies on some large magnetic rocks, which make compasses useless. my gps seems to rely on a digital compass, so I quickly rehersed the night before on how to orientate myself by the sun.
The place is fairly touristic, it has a few hiking trails, and it lies just below mount Fuji. When we got there they told us that a black bear was sighted today exactly where we were going. We ended up yelling and clapping our hands a lot to scare it away. We walked a lot, not knowing exactly where we should go, and got off the trail a lot, relying on a bad tourist map.
A small culture grew around suicides in the forest. for example, people that think that they might change their minds, walk in leaving a trail of (usually nylon) string, which makes parts of the forest look really strange, with nylon strings going everywhere. The whole place is full of strange objects that seem to have been used in ritual like situations. Compass and gps ended up working well for the most part, with occasional crazyness.
hello world
I've been hoping to write this for a while, its not a very exciting project so I've been working on this when I'm tired.
its a bit unusual, nodejs-blosxom, ~400 lines of coffescript. this is very much a work in progress, I'd advise you to use it as inspiration more then as a code you run. templates related to my own homepage are included in the repo. might move them laters.

Even before you give birth, your milk is already "in." The colostrum you've produced since you were about four months pregnant is milk. However, we generally refer to the surge in milk volume and the change in composition as the milk "coming in." In the normal course of events, your milk will change and increase in volume even if you don't breastfeed your baby. When the placenta is delivered, the hormone that causes milk production (prolactin) goes to work. So whether or not you put your baby to your breast, your body will make milk.
If you're a first-time mom, you'll probably notice your milk increasing about three to four days postpartum, with your breasts getting fuller, firmer, and heavier. If you've had a very difficult delivery, or if you notice a lot of extra swelling (edema) in your body after a prolonged induction with an epidural, you may find that it takes a day or two more for the milk volume to increase. With your second or later babies, you're likely to notice it a bit earlier, at around two to three days. These time frames are averages — some moms have milk earlier, some later. Your baby is getting colostrum from the start, though, so don't worry that he has nothing to eat!
It's very important to breastfeed your baby early and often — starting in the birthing room. That's because early, frequent, and effective nursing increases prolactin activity in the breast, which helps assure an abundant and robust milk supply. The more often you feed your baby in the first 48 to 72 hours, the better your milk supply will be.
