XXII Olympic Winter Games | Sochi, Russia 2014
I love the Olympics. I will be glued to the TV for the next two weeks. I love the competition, I love the history and the patriotism. I sometimes get overwhelmed during the medal ceremony because of the pride and sense of belonging and representing your country.
The athletes stories are fascinating and for some it hasn't been easy getting to this level of competition. It takes being focused, hard work, pain and endurance.
I've run two major events in my life and both I thought were out of the realm of possibility. I ran the Army ten-miler in Washington DC. I wasn't really a runner and I quickly realized that this was my race and mine alone. I couldn't keep up with the pack of runners I was with. The race would be one of endurance and not of speed. My goal: FINISH the race.
This year I walked/ran the Atlanta half-marathon with my running buddy, Sunshine. I had a hip flexor pull and bursitis in my right leg (still dealing with the bursitis.) The distance is very daunting, Turner Field, to Atlantic Station, to Piedmont Park, to the capital. That is a lot of ground to cover! 13.1 miles is a long way when all you can think about is how much your leg hurts to take another step. I was slowing our pace down but I didn't want to drop out. I kept plugging along and decided to run on the downhills to hopefully give my leg a stretch. Soon we were halfway done...then only a few miles left...and finally we ran the last few yards across the finish line. We were both in pain but the sense of accomplishment of forging through the pain is so emotional.
Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.

Top Ten Albums of the Year
1.Kings of Leon - Because of the Times: Well, these Nashville brothers grew up fast, didn't they? Rocketing into the southern rock stratosphere from their 2005 launch pad, Aha Shake Heartbreak, the follow-up is not only better in every way possible, it is the most consistently stunning album of the year. An easy choice for the top spot.
2.Dungen - Tio Bitar: Such a sincere, accurate portrayal of '60s acid rock may never again be done. And, a Swedish farm boy leads Dungen, no less! Bluesy guitar solos, Jethro Tull-ish flute sections and chameleon-like song movements make this a superbly interesting listen.
3.Radiohead - In Rainbows: The long wait for a new album was worth it, and not just for the do-it-yourself price tag. In Rainbows is dense, atmospheric and deeply emotional. Blending the digital coldness of Kid A with the lush layers of OK Computer, Radiohead reminds the world that they are still kings of experimental rock.
4.Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris: Grimy cock-rock returns in full fashion on Queens of the Stone Age's sleazy, slinky June release. The fuzzed-out guitars and grungy vocals make this another hit for the volatile rockers. Best track: the "Smells Like Teen Spirit"-esque riff and killer solo on "3's & 7's."
5.Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice: Minus the Bear are really making a statement with Planet of Ice, and that statement is: "Listen to us: We are so damn good at what we do!" What they do is combine Postal Service electronica with Pink Floyd prog-rock for a catchy, danceable sound that also rocks out hard.
6.Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank: With the manic, delirious sounds of lead singer Isaac Brock, We Were Dead has more of the trademark off-kilter fun, making Modest Mouse one of the more consistent rockers out there today.
7.The White Stripes - Icky Thump: Boy, do these two have expectations to fulfill with each release or what?! Icky Thump may not be as flawless as their last two records, but Jack White continues to take the band's sound further, incorporating Latin horn arrangements and twangy acoustic guitars. And, of course, there's the rocking, infectious title track.
8.The Shins - Wincing the Night Away: Containing maybe the best opening song all year in "Sleeping Lessons," The Shins show once again why they continue to be media darlings and fan favorites. Noteworthy moment: when the band jams to close out "Sea Legs," a grooving, swaying highlight on the album.
9.LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver: Diversifying their sound to incorporate elements of Talking Heads, David Bowie and Public Image Ltd., band leader James Murphy acknowledges his dense musical knowledge when he references Pink Floyd as he sings, "We set controls for the heart of the sun/one of the ways we show our age."
10.Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity: These indie oddities are hardly accessible, but then again, people said the same thing about Captain Beefheart. Friend Opportunity certainly has shades of Trout Mask Replica in the strange riot of sounds, but you can't deny the hilarity of the band's no-barrier-can't-be-broken approach.
Honorable Mentions: Bright Eyes - Cassadaga
The Fratellis - Costello Music
Neil Young - Chrome Dreams II
The Good, the Bad and the Queen - The Good, the Bad and the Queen
Air - Pocket Symphony

Smoke Bomb Photo Shoot Behind The Scenes | YANI MACUTE PHOTOGRAPHY
Hey guys, check out the behind the scenes video of the smoke bomb photo shoot that I did with my friends. This was definitely a fun photo shoot. We did this shoot at Guelph in one of the trails and we definitely had fun! I was just worried that police might show up as smokes were so thick! But luckily, no police showed up! The smoke only lasted 1 minute max anyway. :)

If you asked whose job is this … would it be a toss-up?
Whose job is it anyway? Does every one in your company know exactly what their job entails, what their responsibilities are, what authority exists in the position, and who they report to and who reports to them?
Organization charts
Is there a clearly defined organizational chart showing where everyone fits and if not, why not? Is it ok to step on each other toes? If something needs to get done, is it a jump ball? Whoever gets the task assigned, whoever wants the ball, or even whoever doesn't want the ball, are they allowed to run away?
How do we keep the organization functioning properly? The game must be played. Are you playing to win, or are you happy to just be in the game? Are your players coachable or do they do what they want for a paycheck?
Do they tell you when they want to play or are you telling them? Do the players determine what position they are playing, or are you defining it for them? Do the players run the plays they want or are you calling the plays they run?
Attitude and respect
Are you the owner, the manager, the head coach, the assistance coach or the player? How are you treating the players around you? Do you have the right players on the team? Do they all have positive attitudes and are they excited about coming to work every day? Do they respect the ownership, their team members, their management, and themselves? Or is it always a bit of a scrum?
Who is responsible?
If they are not excited, why are they there? Who allows them to underperform? What are their behaviors and how do they work with others? Who is responsible for the team's performance…"you are!"
Sometimes you have to give yourself permission to make the tough changes in your business that you know need to occur. Usually you have to change first. How will you think, act, and do things differently in order to get different results?
Implement Through Leadership
First let everyone know that the standards are going to improve. Let them know they can be part of it or in the way. Provide the tools that will allow the organization to succeed. Create a common goal that everyone can get behind.
Include everyone, and let the team know what is going on and where you are going. Let them know that taking risks is allowed and will be supported. Create a learning environment so that everyone can improve. Systemize everything you can and train your people on how to follow your systems.
Build an organization that is accountable, responsible, engaged in continuous learning, respectful, inclusive, and focused on the goal. You will have fewer jump balls and with the right players, with the right attitudes, following the right systems, you will be in a position to win the game.

A & C - Anniversary Celebration
Aren't these two just adorable? They are so in love and wanted to celebrate their anniversary in a special way. After a long weekend of scheduled events to celebrate, they met up with me on a Sunday evening just before the sun was able to set to have a styled shoot of their very own. We worked together to come up with the concept on what we wanted to capture, to ensure it was about them and not just a styled shoot. These took place in the fall of 2015. They wanted an autumn, cozy feeling. Pumpkins, a borrowed pottery barn blanket, and the golden sunlight was just what we needed. Those mugs? Those are from their home, those jerseys?, that's their favorite team! Just so happened that weekend they were off to see the Cardinals play after the shoot was done, so it all worked out. The books? belong to them and is one of things they love to do. They love to read, hangout, and enjoy life to the fullest.
These are the types of shoots I LOVE to do. Why? Because it's a time to celebrate the two of YOU! However, as I've mentioned before, I love details! Styled shoots are always so fun, but what fun are they if they aren't really speaking to YOU. Lets create something that's personal to YOU and what makes the photos special to YOU and your relationship. When they have kids, maybe they'll have a family photo in their own library, or maybe everyone in Cardinals jerseys. Wouldn't that be fun!? Think about how adding in personalized pieces to your "styled shoot" are meaningful to YOU!

3 days back in Bulgaria/
On Saturday we awoke aching from the previous day of walking. Looking out at the sea we thought it worth attempting to launch and to have a go at paddling some distance, but our attempts were futile, the canoe becoming swamped as we pushed through the breaking waves. So, with that, we unloaded the gear and set about walking. We switched between carrying the canoe a few hundred meters, then returning to carry the bags and barrels to the canoe.
This laborious task continued for the entire day, but for a second attempt at paddling just before lunch. Here we found a small but sheltered harbour where we made a hundred meters in the sea before taking on lots of water, forcing us back in to land, jumping and running in on the beach.
By evening we were part way along a long beach and set up the tent in a nature reserve. We had chatted on the phone with Galin, an experienced sea kayaker in the area, and arranged to meet him the next day to discuss the conditions. But as dawn came we found the sea was amazingly calm and, managing to get through tiny waves, we made it onto the water and began to paddle.
In total we managed just under three hours of good sea paddling but, as the morning wind rose, the waves began to roll and we landed in a small beach for protection. A man taking photos of us turned out to be Galin himself so we set about chatting with him and talking through our predicament. The sea, for him in his kayak, was fine in the current weather, yet for us, in the open canoe designed for rivers, it just wasn't possible. Going over the map he pointed out that the next long section was high cliffs and rocky coastline with few places to land the canoe. Given the forecast, which we checked on his laptop, resting on the boot of the car, it was unsafe to canoe the next part. For our canoe on the sea, landing options are vital and steep cliff faces aren't exactly great for that. Sadly, very sadly indeed, this meant it was back to walking.
So we left the waves of the sea behind us, left excess cooking gas with Gallin, strapped the wheels onto our canoe, and began walking along the road, bags on backs, barrels in hand. We walked for the rest of the morning and all afternoon. We were stopped twice by border police, first to check our passports, second when they decided it would also be good to check our boat docs. We stopped again for another chat with Galin, who was passing on his way home. We stopped a few more times to repair the wheel that repeatedly fell off. And we stopped, finally, back by the coast on top of a cliff. Here we set up the tent, cooked dinner and took pretty pictures. Then we slept.
And that brings us to this morning where we left our cliff-top perch and got back on the road. It was another day of painstaking walking with straight coastal roads that seemed to go on for ever. Apart from lunch in a village square, the only break to the day was the, now mandatory, police check. The old bill pulled in and looked in our passports, asked a few questions, then wished us luck... It would be strange now to have a day without them.
By evening we had made it to Karvana and met again with Galin who directed us to his house. We bumped into another police car on the way, who pulled in to ask questions, but Galin chatted to them and after a while they lost interest in us for long enough to allow us to reach the house and put down the canoe.
So here we are, in Kavarna, after a week that has seen a painful amount of canoe dragging and more encounters with the PoPo then you can shake a baton at. Tonight we are staying in Galin's guesthouse and for that we are extremely grateful. It is cosy, warm and we can shower and sleep in beds for once.
Shattered but sheltered, just how any expedition week should end.

As this NYT column points out today, the real difference between the U.S. education system and successful European systems is teacher quality. In short, they attract the best and we don't. This may be the biggest innovation we've seen from charter schools, which have managed to attract the best and brightest, most of them funneled through Teach for America. The big criticism, of course, if many don't stay in the classroom long — usually about three years. A fair number of those remain connected to education, but still, it's a fair question to raise: Does that matter? The NYT did a nice job summing up the dilemma. To be honest, I'm not sure where the truth lies, but it's fair to ask: Does it really matter if charter school teachers stay only three years? Clearly, it would matter a lot if there were a shortage of fresh talented teachers willing to take their place. But TFA has become the equivalent of the national service many of us have always yearned for. So far, the tap remains open.

But this was not why I wanted to go to Wyke Children's Centre. I totally wanted to go look around! Andy is a playworker just like me and I knew that a service ran by him would be pretty awesome!
First of all, I would like to point out that they have some awesome signs here!
They have a lovely fire pit, with log seating around it.
Lots of pallets and junk to use for play.
Some tubes installed into the ground to hide and play in secret.
They have a boat next to the zip wire. Of course they do. And I remember when Andy told us he went to get this boat as well!
Under a beautiful cherry blossom, there is a tyre swing! :)
And here's an artist photo through one of the tubes.
I really enjoyed looked around the Children's Centre in Wyke. It was really well thought out, especially the playful Fun Care part of it. It as quite small, but kinda reminded me of the adventure playgrounds I visited in Wrexham but a bit more low key. It is a children's centre after all, and Andy and his team have worked hard to ensure that risk and challenge is fully integrated without upsetting those who find safety of paramount importance. I loved it there and am secretly jealous that I haven't a place like that of my own!
I was soooo sad when I realised I had gone home without taking a photo of the chickens that have there! Next time!! Anyway, a big thank you to Andy and his boss for having us yesterday, and I look forward to visiting again! :) We had a lovely and very constructive day! Hoorah for Wyke Children's Centre, and hoorah for playworking friends! :)

A HEARTS and minds campaign to rally public support behind the #300 million Sports Village and multi-purpose stadium on a 59-acre site in Saltley was launched today by city Labour councillors.
The scheme, put forward by Birmingham City FC and underpinned by a Las Vegas style super casino, is the centrepiece of a shopping list of projects mapping Birmingham's development over the next ten years.
Party bosses believe winning the bid for a super-casino over leading rivals Blackpool and Glasgow could be the springboard for a successful bid to not only bring some Olympic Games events in Birmingham in 2012, but also to host the Commonwealth Games.
Labour MPs and councillors were today handing out copies of their vision of the future to city-centre shoppers to start a three-month "big conversation" consultation exercise.
"Cities such as Bristol, Leeds, and Manchester are now fast overtaking Birmingham in regeneration and growth," explained deputy Labour leader Coun Ian Ward.
"We need to move forward with a vision for the future development of Birmingham instead of being bogged down by political dithering over the Central Library and a city centre Metro."
The Tory/Lib-Dem run city council has yet to decide which bid to back but Labour councillors believe opposition to the Sports Village complex underpinned by casino cash is melting away, even among Muslims opposed on religious grounds.
One opinion poll in Saltley recorded 84 per cent support for the Birmingham City project.
Government advisers have briefed Coun Ward that the first super-casino licence will only be granted for a scheme which will lead to the total transformation of a run-down area - a qualification which would seem to rule out any bid from the NEC.
"There is only going to be one initial licence and it must have public support," Coun Ward added.
"This will revive a derelict site and it won't cost the Government a penny."

66. Take J camping, preferably in a tent
68. Take a holiday with J only
Okay, so technically she's not a Girl Guide...she's too young to even be a Spark, but J got to come with me to Guide camp this past weekend and she loved it!
The camp is up on the Sunshine Coast, so we had to take two buses from our place to the ferry where we met the group. Then on the other side we took a bus to camp. J loves riding the bus. Waiting in line? Not so much. She was a bit hungry, so she got to have a treat...rice krispie squares are great!
what are you doing to my sandwich?
lighting it on fire?
On Saturday, the girls tried a new way of making lunch - milk carton grilled cheese! I vaguely remember this from when I was a Guide - you make your sandwich, wrap it in three layers of foil, stuff it into a milk carton and either light the milk carton (which is what we did) or drop it into the fire. J wasn't too sure about this, but in the end she had a very nice grilled cheese. I'm pretty sure when we did it, it was a layer of foil, a layer of damp newspaper and another layer of foil. We cooked a lot in the fire when I was a kid - the first night of camp we usually all brought tinfoil dinners - frozen veggies, a piece of chicken, and some potatoes and a bit of butter in a foil packet with newspaper and more foil wrapped around it...We also did s'mores and banana boats in the fire.
Saturday night the girls decorated their own t-shirt. J figured she had died and gone to heaven. Not only was she allowed to use permanent markers, she was encouraged to draw all over a piece of clothing and no one was going to ask her to stop!
Plus she got to sit with the big kids and pretend to be one too! When you're three, this is a very big deal - many smiles for small faces!
Sunday morning, J took her massive bag of Cheerios and came for a walk with some of the girls. We don't buy dry cereal very often - we eat a lot of oatmeal in the winter and smoothies when it's warmer - so J figured this was a pretty special treat!
can we stay longer?
I love this camp - it's such a peaceful and beautiful place and I really didn't want to go home on Sunday. J had a great time, but she was ready to see her dad. We had a few tears because there were "no boys allowed" at camp and she wanted her dad to be there. We're talking about going back again for a longer stay (without Alex), but she wants to go to the Sunshine Coast with him too (maybe a little vacation this summer?)
One of the advantages of being little is that the big kids take really good care of you. J didn't even had to ask for a ride in the wagon, the girls suggested it. (Check out the J-designed shirt from the night before)
J walked up to the highway from the camp site (she walked in under her own steam on Friday too) and didn't complain once about the long walk - I think it's under 1 km. I was quite proud of her as some of the girls complained the whole way.
going to see Daddy soon!
On the bus back to the ferry terminal, J got to sit in her favourite seat ever - the window seat at the very back of the bus!
We waited for Alex and had a warm drink and a snack (more rice krispie squares!) and J chatted almost non-stop about all the fun stuff she did this weekend and the big-girl kids and the other leaders and the ocean. I'm pretty sure she had a great time! I can't wait to do it again (maybe next time we can sleep in a tent...)

Voltron: Legendary Defender Season 7 (Netflix)
In the midst of all the controversy about missing the mark on Shiro's past, I have yet to find an article about Season 7's thirteen installment run that focuses on what is one of the most prevalent themes in the episode arc: family.

Today is the start of November, which means that NaNoWriMo 2012 has begun! Much like last year, I promise to not let the blog devolve into a simple word-count update forum during NaNoWriMo. I'll try to do weekly updates, like I did in 2011, so you'll know how I'm progressing and what challenges I've had, but otherwise I'll use the NaNo experience to provide a good source of writing-related posts.
So, let's have Day 1 be an update! I didn't stay up last night, and after work today I wanted nothing more than to sit and read the fiction novel that I started pre-NaNo. (Once I've reached the end, it's back to nonfiction until NaNo is done.) That said, I did manage to get the juices flowing and spend the last hour working on Unexpected.
Oh, you want a word count? Okay. Current count is 1752, which means I'm basically right on track as of today. (And apparently everyone else is trying to post their word counts right now; NaNo's website won't load!)
I might write some more tonight, and I have three days before I have to go back to work. Hopefully I can get the count built up!
I can say I'm enjoying my characters so far, and the writing hasn't been too bad. I even had a little surprise in their conversation; as usual it drifted a bit from the original idea in my head, but in a good way. I mean, how often do you get to have a fairy and a human have the following conversation:
As he opened his mouth to continue the fairy held up her hand. "I'm bored now, don't keep talking."
Her bald statement made him bark out a shocked laugh. "Ok, then why did you ask?"
She turned from him to survey the room again. "It seemed like the answer could be interesting. I was wrong."
Did I mention I love these characters? 🙂 I'm hoping that bodes well for getting to 50000 words!

Parents across China have a few safety concerns regarding the latest popular toy that is sweeping the nation. No, not the fidget spinner. A crossbow that fires toothpicks.
The "toothpick crossbow" has managed to spread like wildfire among China's middle school kids. While the toy may be tiny, it does pack a punch, able to puncture balloons, cardboard, apples, soda cans, and, presumably human eyes.
The toy was a hot seller at local toy shops near schools and on online e-commerce platforms, but efforts are already being made to ban their sale with parents calling on the government to do something before some kid gets seriously hurt.
Cities like Chengdu, Kunming and Harbin have already banned the sale of the crossbows, while police in Chongqing, Ningbo and Hunan have issued warnings. Meanwhile, the toys have also been banned by popular e-commerce platforms JD.com and Taobao, but are still available on other sites for as little as 10 yuan.
The straddling bus test track is being demolished, Chinglish is being rectified and now kids can't even fire pointy objects from mini-crossbows, is China suddenly becoming no fun?

Caring for plants after installation
If a pond or wetland is functioning as designed and holding the correct amount of water, very little maintenance of the plants themselves should be required.
This means:
- No fertilizer
- No lime
- No irrigation except for the 6 weeks after installation (for plants installed above the waterline during dry summers)
- No pesticide
- No herbicide except for spot treatment of Cattails, unwanted woody plants, and non-native invasive species
- No trimming mowing or thinning of the installed plants
Goose management may be required until the pond or wetland has become dense. Once dense, the plants themselves will discourage the geese, and the plants will be able to outgrow any browse that does occur.

Our first Red and Black Reading Group of 2015 took a look at Give up activism. The article written in the aftermath of the worldwide "Carnival against Capital" on June 18th 1999, take these events as the starting point for a wide-ranging critique of the outlook, practices and political strategies of the activist milieu of its time – and, to a large extent, our own.
Harshly critical of contemporary anarchist practice, Give up activism takes aim at the "activist mentality" which it sees at the root of much of the social isolation and political impotence of the activist. Drawing on situationist critiques of the leftist "militant", and the author's experience of and frustrations with activist groups and movements, the article explores the idea of activism as a political dead end – a kind of almost religious, self-sacrificial activity which leaves revolutionaries isolated and cut off from the broader population and one another. What follows are some brief notes from our discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of Give up activism's analysis, and the broader question of the shortcomings of activist activity.
Activism: 15 years on
We discussed the relevance of the arguments presented in Give up activism to anarchists and revolutionaries today. Certainly some of them still carry a great deal of weight. Nonetheless, a decade and a half after it was written, the critique presented here is somewhat dated. Single-issue campaigns of the kind criticised in the text still exist, but so too do activist projects with far broader goals, from the anti-summit protest movement to Occupy London. Then again, much of the criticism presented in Give up activism is still applicable to such movements, which, as the author says of the 1999 "Carnival Against Capital" which forms the backdrop for his own critique, struggled to go beyond the stage of activists "making links" with other activists, and so perhaps failed to really go beyond the activist mentality as described in the text.
The self-sacrificial attitude that the author talks about here is also still very much alive in today's activist scene. In particular, we talked about the issues with the idea of being an "ally" to the oppressed; how the activist approach leads us to focus on fighting other peoples battles rather than organising around issues in our own day to day lives; how the need for an unselfish, self-righteous cause leads to activists creating an identity for themselves from other people's oppression; and how this "ally" identity often ends up creating an unwelcoming and inaccessible environment for the very same people whose struggles the activists are supposedly supporting. We discussed alternative ways to support other people's struggles, such as building alliances around common goals, and the notion of mutual solidarity as opposed to the one way street of "allyship".
The activist identity
We talked about the notion of activism as an identity, as a social category that plays a particular role within capitalist society. We discussed the idea of an activist/non-activist binary, and how activist subcultures define themselves through their styles of dress, their use of jargon and particular forms of language, as well as through actions, in order to differentiate themselves from non-activist "others". This leaves behind those who don't manage to (or don't want to) dress and sound the part, who aren't playing their role properly. The analogies to other social roles – from relatively recent social categories such as that of that of priest or policeman, or more ancient social divisions such as the gender divide – are clear.
We touched on the question of how the activist role shifts in different cultural contexts, and how this critique could be applied to historical and contemporary movements from the ongoing struggle in Ferguson to the US Civil Rights movement. We also discussed the role of the media in defining the boundaries of the activist identity, by deciding who gets listened to and how different groups that make up diverse social movements are portrayed.
The alternative?
In the final stages of our discussion of Give up activism, we talked about what practical points we could draw from the arguments presented in the text. We talked about the difference between charity and solidarity, and the importance of focusing on organising around the issues facing us in our everyday lives rather than focusing on abstract activist causes. We also discussed the limitations of our current situation, the social and political isolation that characterise existing anarchist/activist groups and movements, and how far it is possible to break out of the activist mindset and go beyond activism as a way of doing politics given these circumstances.
The point was made that whatever its shortcomings, activism can mean making people's lives better in practical, immediate terms – activist campaigns can be successful in winning limited gains, after all. We talked about whether the problem was simply one of mindset, of our approach to these activities rather than activist activity per se. We also explored whether social change in general should be thought of as simply an accumulation of limited victories, and whether activist victories necessarily brings us closer to the qualitative change we want to see in the world.

Why Clinton's Stash of 'Dark Money' Couldn't Save Her
When Donald Trump won the presidency on Tuesday night, he didn't just dash Hillary Clinton's hopes — he also overcame millions of campaign and "dark money" dollars spent against him. In every area of campaign finance, Clinton's raised (and almost certainly spent) more money but "money can't buy you love" — or votes, for that matter.
"Trump's victory is another reminder that money cannot buy votes," David Keating, president of the Center for Competitive Politics, told PJ Media in an email statement. "Campaign spending facilitates speech, and ads can only persuade voters who support the candidate's message. The media's fascination with campaign spending and so-called 'dark money' caused them to forget the simple fact that voters decide elections."
According to data from the Center for Competitive Politics, Clinton outspent Trump more than 2 to 1, Pro-Clinton ads outnumbered pro-Trump ads 3 to 1, "dark money" groups for Clinton outspent those backing Trump 3 to 1, Clinton backers ran 3 times as many ads in battleground states, and the three biggest super PACs each backed a losing candidate.
In other words, if you believe like Bernie Sanders said over and over and over again, that "millionaires and billionaires" buy elections, 2016 should be a blaring wake-up call.
It is important to note that Trump won narrowly, and he seems to have lost the popular vote. It is impossible to tell how many people were convinced to vote one way or another by any particular ad. Nevertheless, money did not sway the final results of the election.
Here are 5 ways campaign spending failed to save Hillary in November.
1. Clinton outspent Trump: 2 to 1.
As of October 28, Clinton and those supporting her campaign had raised over $687.3 million. This is 2.2 times the $306.9 million raised by Trump and his supporters.
While this is the amount of money raised as opposed to the amount spent, political campaigns almost always spend all the money they raise. Furthermore, Clinton's campaign started spending money on ads earlier than Trump's, which means she likely got more air time per dollar spent.
2. Pro-Clinton ads outnumbered pro-Trump ads 3 to 1.
Team Clinton accounted for 75 percent of cable TV ads in the presidential race, according to a Center for Public Integrity analysis of data from the ad tracking group Kantar Media/CMAG.
Clinton and her allies combined to air more than 383,000 TV ads from June 12 through November 6, while Trump and his allies aired about 125,000 ads. Clinton's campaign alone was responsible for more than 282,000 ads, about 55 percent of all TV ads in the race since June. Trump's campaign, by contrast, aired only 85,000 ads.
Even in super PAC ads, Clinton enjoyed a huge advantage over Trump. Priorities USA Action, the main pro-Clinton PAC, aired 77,000 TV ads, only about 10,000 ads fewer than Trump's campaign. The Republican's biggest ally on the airwaves was the National Rifle Association, which aired about 14,000 pro-Trump or anti-Clinton ads.

The OK Social Club - Nothing in Common (***)
Possibly not since The View's debut has a Scottish band mined youthful, boozy nostalgia quite as doggedly as Edinburgh's The OK Social Club. "Remember the old days?" sings frontman and songwriter Raff Eragona on Little Broken Bones; "do you remember…" starts the chorus to The Late 90's; "What's that song / it takes me back to the old days" opens Twisted Young Gentlemen – just some of Nothing In Common's wistful appeals to free and easy salad days.
Bygone nights on the town / mornings in the gutter may not be the most diverse of muses, but it results in a punchy and accomplished debut, with the pluck of the lyrics matched by a bright and energetic indie-rock sound built from communal 'woahs' and exhilarating guitar-based melodies. The finished product may want for depth, but at their best The OK Social Club convey an enthusiasm that's as hard to resist as it is to fake.
Out 15th April
Trwbador - Trwbador (**)
Since forming in 2010, Carmarthenshire's Trwbador (aka Welsh-Dutch singer Angharad Van Rijswijk and guitarist/producer Owain Gwilym) have forged a distinctive and often impressively inventive style, with whimsical vocals pinned lightly to toybox production built from glitches and loops, glockenspiel chimes and nursery rhyme melodies.
Unfortunately, unless your tolerance for twee and quirk is notably high, the effect is likely to irritate more often that it bedazzles, with the monotonous lyrics of songs like Sun in the Winter and Red Handkerchiefs not helped by cutesy delivery and an over-familiarity with the upper range of audible frequencies at the expense of anything deeper (in both senses of the word).
Despite these doubts, however, it's easy to keep sight of the duo's potential, with Rain's sideswiping welsh-language rap (courtesy of guesting MC Odlgymix) showcasing the more positive results of the duo's idiosyncrasies, and the crystalline cadence of Safe best indicating their compositional talents.
Out today
Aidan Baker - Already Drowning (****)
Those coming to Already Drowning via an interest in Aidan Baker's work with ambient drone duo Nadja be warned: here be an altogether gentler creature, with only the slightest notes of distortion and discord occasionally wading in. Billed as a "a song cycle inspired by various myths and folklore about female water spirits," Baker's atmospheric slowcore opus is insidiously immersive.
An international cast of collaborators contribute vocals (and on occasion, translations into French and German) to compositions that are sometimes straightforwardly beautiful (for instance, the string-led sweep of 30 Days/30 Nights), sometimes challengingly veiled (e.g. the insectoid, free-jazz cymbal ripples of Mélusine), but always hauntingly evocative – provided it's approached with the right level of patience. Otherwise, much of Baker's hard work will be for nought, with Already Drowning too carefully measured to impose itself on errant attentions, but liberally rewarding for those that commit time to its chilly virtues.

Today I realized that sometimes, when I take a shower and my fallen hair makes little patterns on the walls, I imagine they're pictures of people and make up poems in my head. I get most of my inspiration from that. I got The Fallen Star from that. Even the last part where it says
Then she tumbles down finally and is seen no more
…I got that when I washed the hair off the wall and it really looked like she tumbled head first towards the floor. I'm weird, I know.
Expect more Sasha's Confessions coming soon.
We've lost the King of Pop and the hottest of Charlie's Angels.
RIP Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.
I remember feeling so excited when I first found out that they were doing The Time Traveler's Wife movie [refer to this blog entry]. From that day on, I was always on YouTube, searching for 'The Time Traveler's Wife + trailer' but the results only showed fanmade videos. Today, a friend of mine ym-ed me this video:
Seriously, I cannot contain my excitement. I watched it here at the office, and I cried. My sister, whose desk is right next to mine, laughed at me. Pfft! And I'm now ok with Eric Bana playing Henry, though Ryan Gosling would still be better for the role (since Henry is supposed to be thin). But yeah…he seemed ok in the trailer. Now, Alba is a different story, but I won't get into that. LOL
On it's imdb page, there is no release date for the Philippines. I will seriously hurt someone if they don't show it here.
As most of you know, my mom, sister and I all suffer from the same addiction…the addiction to movies. LOL We watch at least twice a week, providing that there are new good movies out. Sometimes, they don't even have to be good. Or new, for that matter. My mom and I have been known to watch really good movies more than once (try three times!). Addiction does that to you sometimes. And boredom.
So it's really awesome that a friend of my dad's issued 2 MTRCB cards to my mom and sister, so it basically means they each get to watch movies for free. They also get to bring 1 companion each. So we all watch for free. Even on IMAX. 🙂
Anyway, I've watched quite a few movies recently, I can't remember the order. But I shall proceed to give you my opinion on each of them.
In alphabetical order (because that's how my computer saved the poster pictures):
17 Again – funny! I didn't really think I would enjoy this movie because to be quite honest, I'm not a big Zac Efron fan. I think he's too pretty to be a boy, and when he tries to be 'sexy' he just looks gay. And I was subjected to watching HSM3 because of my nephew. (I really should've opened with that. LOL) But I have to admit that his acting improved (or maybe it's because he didn't try to be 'sexy' that much) and I found myself LOL-ing the entire film. I loved his character's relationship with his best friend.
Angels & Demons – okay, first of all, I did not read the book. So I have no point of comparison. I liked the movie as a movie. It wasn't as confusing as the first one, but maybe I just don't remember The Da Vinci Code. Anyway, a friend of mine said that it's such a bad adaptation and he hated it. I guess that's the one good thing about not reading the book version. We all know that the books are always better than the movies. That's why I always take movies as different stories from the books. Anyway…
Crank – LOL I laughed so much while watching this movie. It was so bad, but it wasn't trying to be good anyway. That's the difference between this movie and a certain abomination called The Punisher (which I won't even bother with here because it was GAWD AWFUL!), it knew it was silly (who would survive a helicopter fall other than superheroes?!), so it went with it. The entire film was silly. And Jason Statham?! Hot as always, of course. 🙂
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past – this movie was ok. I laughed on certain parts. I LOVED EMMA STONE in it, she's hilarious. It was pretty much a typical Matthew McConaughey film. I liked some of his other movies better, though. But then, I liked this film better than his other films. So meh. It's a dvd movie at best, maybe an HBO one. [Feel free to skip ahead.] And because wordpress is being a bitch, I have to keep typing nonsense or else the next poster shows up on this part.
Monsters vs. Aliens – I enjoyed this movie because I'm just a little kid trapped in a grown woman's body. I watched it so long ago though, I can't remember much about it. I do remember that I loved the cockroach scientist because I could totally picture Hugh Laurie whenever he spoke. Also, Bob was hilarious! I admit, it wasn't like Wall-E (I think that movie will forever be my most favorite animated film. Well, let's wait for Up.), but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Night at the Museum 2 – I didn't really expect much from this film. When I first heard they were making a sequel, I was like, 'really?!'. And I guess that helped a little because I was actually lol-ing so much while I was watching it. Every time Hank Azaria was in a scene, my stomach hurt from laughing so much. Jonah Hill's small part was awesome too. And even Abe Lincoln was funny, whodathunk?! And as always, Amy Adams is just so pretty. And I loved Bill Hader, he was so stupid.
Star Trek – I was never a fan of this franchise, though I remember watching it on TV. I remember Shatner's version and also Patrick Stewart's. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Kirk's character was arrogant and kind of an a-hole, which I liked. And Sylar Spock was just adorable. I wanted to just smother him with kisses and watch him squirm (kind of like how I feel about Monk). It's the kind of movie I would gladly watch over and over again (but I didn't). Also, Anton Yelchin's character (Chekov) was just adorable!! But I've always had a crush on Anton, so…
Terminator Salvation – again, I have no point of comparison for this movie because I've never seen the other films. I know, I know. Loser, right? I was young then, I wasn't into movies yet. Anyway, I liked this film, and my mom said that she actually liked it the best out of all the Terminator films (hides my mom from potential tomato chuckers). So yeah…like I said in my twitter account…Christian Bale – Meh. Sam Worthington – Hot. Anton Yelchin – OMG YES PLEASE GIMME! Another movie I'd happily watch again and again.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine – OMG FINALLY! Loyal readers of this blog (meaning my sister and friends LOL) will remember how ecstatic I was to find out that Taylor Kitsch was playing Gambit because I've been waiting for that character to show up in the films (he's my 2nd favorite, 1st is Rogue)…and to have Taylor Kitsch play him?! It was more than I could ask for. But before we get to that, the movie was actually good. It was everything it was supposed to be. Action-packed with lots of exploding things and Wolverine slashing people. Comic loyalists probably hated the movie and I could understand why. They changed a lot of things, but like I said…I take movies as different stories from their book counterparts. And OMG what did Hugh Jackman do?! He looked like a monster (in a good way) in this movie! I mean, those arms! He managed to make Ryan Reynolds look normal. Not to say that Reynolds didn't look amazing as well. Like I told my friends, the movie would've been WAY better if Gambit, Wolvie and Deadpool all fought each other shirtless. Seriously. 🙂 Also, it needed more Gambit!
Anyway, I'm practically shaking from hunger here. I can't even reread what I wrote to edit it, so please forgive any typos, etc. I'll have to check it tomorrow. I haven't eaten dinner yet and it's 15 minutes past midnight here already. Ciao!
ETA: I finally reread this and man, did I have a lot of typos! I was thinking of certain words and wrote the opposite of what I meant! And also, I butchered some character names. Haha All's fixed now, I think. I hope. 🙂
I know I haven't been on that much around here. I've mostly been on Twitter. I feel so bad, I keep telling myself that I'll blog again, but I never do. So here I am, forcing myself to write even though I'm not really that up to it to be honest.
In no particular order, I'm going to write about what I've been doing lately.
So I went to Pansol, Laguna with my college friends (Lala, Kuya Dale and Altair weren't there though), and we had such a great time. I got much darker on that weekend trip than when I went on that more-than-a-week-long cruise. Probably because all we did was swim and eat and drink.
You may not see me, but I'm in there somewhere. I'm the one with bubbles all over her face. I really have to learn how to smile underwater.

Flywheel expands its empire by acquiring Ride the Zone
While most us were wallowing in the relaxation and overindulgence of the holidays, the owners of Flywheel Sports went out and bought themselves an extravagant yet healthy gift on Christmas Day: Ride the Zone, the New York spinning studio founded by Marion Roaman and known for its RealRyder leaning bikes and celebrity fans (notably Matthew Broderick and Kyra Sedgwick).
With the acquisition of Ride the Zone's three indoor-cycling studios (one on the Upper East Side and two in the Hamptons), Flywheel will surpass its competitor, SoulCycle, in number of locations with a total of seven cycling outposts.
Adding fuel to the already red hot spinning rivalry, New York Magazine's Daily Intel reported that Flywheel swooped in and sealed the deal with Ride the Zone although they'd been in negotiations with SoulCycle for weeks. Ride the Zone's Roaman would neither confirm nor deny the report. "Once I started the process of considering selling, I talked to a lot of establishments," she said cryptically. "Most of them kept quiet about it, and some of them didn't."
Flywheel's co-founders, Ruth Zukerman and Jay Galluzzo, remained similarly mum. "Ruth has known Marion for about 15 years," said Galluzo. "So, I think we were always aware of her trajectory with her business and what she wanted to do and were always talking to her on a friendly level. We don't have any direct knowledge about negotiations she had with other people."
With the deal swiftly signed, Flywheel has wasted no time transforming the studios with the brand's signature stadium seating and TorqBoards (the Ride the Zone leaning bikes will be sold for club and home use—you may even be able to snag one on Craigslist or eBay). The East Hampton and East 67th Street locations will open in four weeks, estimates Galluzo. "We have a lot of studios in the pipeline, so we were able to divert some resources to the Ride the Zone properties," he said. The more-seasonal Watermill studio will open closer to summer.
Good news for Ride the Zone customers with pre-paid credits: They'll soon be able to use them at all Flywheel locations.
As for who'll be teaching the classes, it will be "a combination of existing Flywheel instructors and many of Marion's instructors—those that adapt well to the Flywheel message," says Zukerman. In fact, one of the big draws for the expansion was Marion and her instructors and staff, said Galluzzo. "Having this new source of great talent is really exciting for us."
It's also exciting for Roaman, who will join the Flywheel team as a Master Instructor. "I've been in this business a long time, and I love what Flywheel has created," she said. "I love their TorqBoard and their training program, and I love supporting something I think is innovative."
Roaman added that both her staff and clientele are on board for the change, especially now that that the rumors have ceased and they know where they'll be headed. "The client base we serve is really into training, working out, and seeing and feeling a difference," she explained. "Any feeling of loss [over Ride the Zone] was quickly alleviated, because they know and love Flywheel." —Lisa Elaine Held

Could something so bad actually be good?
The answer is yes when it comes to the stock market.
At the end of 2012, the three worst stocks in the S&P 500 were Apollo Group, AMD, and BestBuy. While Apollo Group continues to have problems this year, AMD and Best Buy are up 51% and 150% respectively since the start of 2013.
That got us thinking: What about the three worst S&P 500 stocks so far in 2013? Is there a chance one of them can turnaround like AMD and BestBuy?
Right now, the bottom three stocks in the S&P 500 are all mining stocks: Cliffs Natural Resources (iron), Peabody Energy (coal), and Newmont Mining (gold). Of those three has the potential to improve, says Talking Numbers contributor Enis Taner, Global Macro Editor at RiskReversal.com.
Taner believes Newmont Mining is best poised for a rebound. The company, which released second-quarter earnings last night, announced a $1.8 billion dollar write-down due to lower gold and copper prices in the second-quarter of 2013. It had a total loss of $2 billion or $4.06 per share while analysts were instead expecting a profit of $0.42 per share. The company also said they were reducing its quarterly dividend to $0.25 per share from $0.35, citing the decline in gold prices as a reason for doing so.
(Related: Dennis Gartman: Gold is going 'several hundred dollars higher')
The overall sector is fairing worse than Newmont itself. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (the GDX) is down 41% this year compared to Newmont's drop of 35%. However, Taner believes Newmont has significant advantages over other gold miners.
But do the charts agree? JC O'Hara, Chief Market Technician at FBN Securities, believes the charts have a lot to say about Newmont Mining.
To hear Taner and O'Hara give their individual takes on Newmont Mining, watch the video above.

On 10th September we'll be starting our Fall series, Vocare: Work as calling. Vocare is the Latin word for "call" and it really begs the question whether we see our work as simply a 9-5 way of earning a paycheck, or whether we can find in it some sense of calling. We spend many hours every week working, and many years of our life. Is it just a necessary evil we engage in to put food on the table and pay the bills? Or can it be something more?
And by the way, just in case you were wondering, I don't define work as ONLY that which gets a paycheck. It would be a foolish man indeed who claimed that raising children was not work (and I'm not that foolish). And for those who are retired, I doubt that you are sitting at home all day watching daytime soaps, but rather still active in some way, contributing somehow to the lives of others. This is all work.
In this series we'll be looking at how we can integrate our faith with our work. Is it just taking the opportunity to share Jesus with a co-worker, or simply working honestly? Or could there be more to it? Spoiler alert: there's more. Much more. Join us for this 6 week series as we explore what it means to have God@Work in you and your job, whatever that might be.
Quiz Answers:
a) Chain Gang. Sam Cooke
b) 9-5. Dolly Parton
c) She works hard for the money. Donna Summer
d) Taking care of business. Bachman-Turner Overdrive
e) Manic Monday. The Bangles.

High quality components, packaged well. 34 row did amazing this weekend on the auto-x course, temps barely went above 200. I found the hoses were a little long. I wasn't a fan of the routing of the hoses, but you can blame that on the Nissan engineers, the guys at CZP did what they could with the space provided. I would recommend getting the protective covering, not for fire, but because the lines seem to rub on things in the tight spaces. Lines were pre-assembled and don't leak. Great kit.
