About Jamie Cullum
British pianist/vocalist Jamie Cullum mixes jazz with melodic pop and rock into a crossover style that calls to mind such artists as Harry Connick, Jr. and Norah Jones. In that vein, Cullum will just as often cover a swinging jazz standard as a modern rock song, and his original compositions deftly move from earnest ballads to songs of sardonic wit. Having played guitar and piano since age eight, Cullum developed an avid interest in jazz passed down from his older brother Ben. Inspired by such piano icons as Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck, Cullum spent some of his formative years living in Paris, where he honed his abilities performing in jazz clubs. Cullum eventually earned a degree from Reading University, during which time he recorded his first album, Heard It All Before, at age 19. Its surprise success eventually put him in contact with jazz bassist Geoff Gascoyne, who offered Cullum the opportunity to play on his album Songs of the Summer. With Gascoyne's encouragement, Cullum eventually recorded his second album, Pointless Nostalgic, released in 2002. The album benefited from a boost of publicity as it received heavy airplay on TV and radio personality Michael Parkinson's BBC 2 radio show.
Cullum eventually signed with Universal Records and released his breakthrough third full-length, Twentysomething, in 2003. The album charted all over the world, sold millions of copies, and made him the fastest-selling British jazz artist in history. Catching Tales and the compilation/mixtape album In the Mind of Jamie Cullum followed in 2005 and 2007, respectively. In 2009, Cullum was nominated along with Clint Eastwood for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for their composition "Gran Torino." A year later, he released the album The Pursuit. In 2013, Cullum returned with his sixth studio album, Momentum; it performed respectably the U.K., reaching 20 on the album charts, but didn't make much of a ripple in the U.S. Cullum's seventh album, Interlude, saw release in October of 2014 in most parts of the world -- including his native U.K., where it entered the charts at 19 -- but wasn't scheduled for U.S. release until 2015. ~ Matt Collar

The Chestnut Hill Newsstand switched owners at the begninning of March and big changes are happening.
The new owner is Chestnut Hill resident and City Councilman Frank Rizzo Chief of Staff Stewart Graham. Among the most noticeable changes Graham is introducing are healthy snacks and flowers. The biggest change, though, is that cigarettes will no longer be on the shelves.
Brian Rudnick stopped by the newsstand last week to talk to newsstand employee and jazz pianist Chris Marsceill. Marsceill, the hardest-working pianist in Chestnut Hill, has been working at the newsstand for the past few months.

Wisconsin Democrats have easily fended off a Republican ploy in the state Senate recalls, with the official Dem candidates in each of six races easily defeating Republican activists who also filed in the Democratic primaries. But Republicans have not failed to reap some advantages from the situation.
With the vast majority of the precincts now in, all six official Democrats have been projected as the winners by the Associated Press. Only one primary, for the 10th District (GOP Sen. Sheila Harsdorf), has turned out to be tight or seriously contested, with official Dem candidate Shelly Moore winning by a margin of 54%-46%.
The other Dem primaries are nowhere near that close: Nancy Nusbaum is winning the primary for the 2nd District (Sen. Robert Cowles) by 65%-35%; Sandy Pasch is winning the 8th District (Sen. Alberta Darling) by 67%-33%; Fred Clark is winning the 14th District (Sen. Luther Olsen) by 67%-33%; Jessica King is winning the 18th District (Sen. Randy Hopper) by 68%-32%; and Jennifer Shilling is winning the 32nd District (Sen. Dan Kapanke) by 70%-30%.
Soon after the recall elections were triggered, Republicans declared a strategy to plant fake candidates in the Democratic primaries — which they have called "protest candidates" — in order to delay the general elections from July to August, while the GOP incumbents ran unopposed. The candidates included a GOP activist in his 20s, and an octogenarian former GOP state representative, among others. As it turned out, the scheme would cost local governments throughout the state over $400,000.Predictably, this led to some low-level dirty tricks and mischief-making, with conservatives being urged to vote in the Democratic primaries for the fake Dems. Despite the possibility of countering this, Democrats specifically rejected entreaties by labor to respond in kind and run fake Republicans, in order to keep Republican voters in their own primaries.
However, Republicans gained an advantage from this maneuver that was about more than just the primaries themselves: By delaying the general elections to August, they bought themselves more time to quickly vote on various policies — including a redistricting maneuver for 2012, which will involve a suspension of the state's usual redistricting procedures in order to move up the process. Of course, there is nothing too unusual about a gerrymander when a party has won full control of the legislature — but the expediting of the normal rules, in order to beat the clock on a wave of recalls, does add to just how peculiar this whole year has been for Wisconsin.

Human wall guides baby turtles to sea
When a nest of baby loggerhead sea turtles hatched July 1 in Bonaire, a wall of human helpers was there to guide them to the sea. Ordinarily sea turtle hatchlings use light to guide them to the sea. However, this nest was close to Bonaire's brightly lit airport and volunteers were concerned the sea turtles would become disoriented by the lights.
The resulting image went viral on Imgur.

This is a seventies' Strat which should be all stock (though the pickups do seem a bit strange to my unexperienced eye... non-staggered polepieces). But look at this pickup configuration mass / negative pole - all three pickups are going to a 330nF capacitor, and then to ground. The rest of the wiring, upon a brief survey, appears stock.
It should not even work, maybe. But the owner (a great guitar player) swears by it - more sustain and a sort of compression unobtainable in any other way, says he.
What say you? Have you ever seen that kind of wiring?

Hardware store closing sale, and one last outdoor project.
Last spring, Room published tips for resurrecting old patio furniture, with wicker and wood painting guidelines from the Better Homes and Gardens guide "Do It Yourself Ideas for Your Home and Garden." This year, Domino magazine published similar tips for rehabbing thrift store finds. Between those two resources, the creative seed had been planted, so I hunted down a cheap ($5) little chair at my neighborhood Goodwill thrift store and decided to go to work on one last outdoor project of the year.
Let me preface this by saying that patience is a virtue I'm short on. I like projects that finish in a day, or maybe two, not weeks or months. So I didn't exactly spend the time and energy prepping the piece as instructed by furniture refinishing experts. Instead, I found 20 percent off Krylon spray-on primer, paint and polyurethane at the True Value at 660 S. Broadway in Denver, which is going out of business and having a huge stock reduction sale at least through the end of September. I also picked up a piece of colorful oilcloth at Denver Fabrics to replace my chair's old dingy vinyl seat cover.
The upside to using Krylon is that it dried quickly so I could come back and apply subsequent coats after only a few minutes. In all, the paint job was done in a day. I followed up the next morning by removing the old black vinyl seat cover, using it as a template to snip a piece of the new oilcloth, and then using my staple gun to recover the seat. The finished chair now sits on my front porch.
The downside to using Krylon is that even though the company promises a drip-free finish, I still experienced some dripping.
I don't mind, because this chair will be outdoors and the drips are barely visible. But, for a cleaner finish, strip or sand your piece, then brush on primer and paint. Experts say latex paint should be recoated with latex, oil paint with oil. Oil base primer can be top coated with either latex or oil. Others suggest that wood furniture should be sealed with an oil primer, then topped with two coats of quality exterior acrylic. Either way, the best results are achieved by disassembling the piece of furniture, painting the individual parts, and then putting them back together again.

LX Magazine Interview
1. Do you feel proper diet can be a fountain of youth? Why or why not?
All human physiological functions decline with aging, and we all die. Proper diet can slow, but not prevent the decline in our body's function with aging.
2. What are some foods that help people stay young?
It's not so much the foods that we eat, but rather the foods that we don't eat which slow the aging process. In the typical western diet refined cereal grains, refined sugars, refined vegetable oils and dairy products comprise 70% of our total daily calories. By eliminating these foods and replacing them with fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, seafood, grass produced meats and poultry, and nuts we can reduce the known elements in our diet that promote inflammation, disease and in turn slow the aging process.
3. What makes these foods so powerful?
Fresh fruits, veggies, fish, seafood, grass produced meats and nuts emulate the nutritional characteristics of our hunter gatherer ancestors. These dietary characteristics shaped our present day genome, and wehn we make our contemporary diet consistent for which our genes have evolved, we can reach our genetic potential including age span.
4. What are some staple items people can incorporate into nearly every meal?
The Paleo Diet as it has become to be known is simplicity itself. Limit your purchases at the supermarket to the outside aisles (produce, seafood, meat) and you are about 85% of the way there. Stay away from the middle aisles in which cereal grains, processed, canned and packaged foods run rampant.
By eating "real living foods" (fresh veggies, fruits, fish, grass produced meats) at nearly every meal, you will increase the nutrient (vitamin, mineral and phytochemical) density of your diet as you abandon nutrient poor cereal grains, refined sugars, refined oils and processed foods.
5. Is it difficult to eat this way? Why or why not?
People who are seriously addicted to candies, sugars, bread and cereals and ice cream may have withdrawal symptoms upon their first week or two of "Paleo," but after eating real food for a few weeks, going back to processed food and junk typically makes most people feel so bad, that they "get it."

Rays are Stymied by Tigers Again
Tigers 6, Rays 4
What is it about old hairband songs and the American League. I am starting to believe that in this Karaoke inspired world that we are playing too many golden oldies and adapting them to our team as models of our character. Remember a few years ago when the Chicago White Sox were tearing up the playoffs, the chose a Journey song as their muse. "Don't Stop Believing" is a great song, but not one I would every tag to a baseball team. But then I never thought the Rays would have Survivor of "Eye of the Tiger" cult status do a free concert to celebrate our Playoff success.
The Rays have been comtemplating who should throw out the first pitch at the Rays ALDS games. My choice is first Dick Vitale for obvoius reasons. Vitale was inducted with me in the Rays/Pepsi Fan Wall of Fame in the same year. I still have his chair sign in my collectible folder. He is also a clssic example of the kind of fan we love. Loud, proud and totally bonkers at times.
But the guy to throw out the second pitch will get alot of debate. I think it should be Kevin Costner. He has done so many concerts both for the Rays and the Durham Bulls this year that he has been a symbol of the new logo, jerseis and attitude since his Straub Park concert. He is also a consumate baseball guy who is a true fan of the game. And his character Billy Chappell, is still one of my favorite baseball heros.
Tigers 6, Rays 4
Placido Planco
I hope that Placido Planco only has a sprained ankel or a turned ankle after that collision at home plate with Dioner Navarro in the bottom of the 1st inning. He came into home pretty hard towards the right foot and shinguards of Navarro and he might have caught his foot under Navarro and twisted before crossing the plate. He was replaced in the top of the 2nd inning and you did not see him on the bench area, so maybe he was sent to get some X-rays to rule out a break or any ligament damage.
B J Upton
What can you say about B J Upton since he came back off the bench a few games ago and has been hitting the cover off the ball. Tonight Upton went 3-4, with 2 RBI's and 2 runs scored in the game. And to top it all off, even with his bum shoulder he was able to muscle a homer out to leftfield in the 5th inning. It was only Upton's 9th homer of the season, but it came at a time when the Rays needed a shot in the arm to get back into this game. His blast put the Rays within 2 of the Tigers, 5-3.
Upton was a combines 1-19 on this roadtrip before tonight's game, and has played in 8 of the last 9 games for the Rays. Before his injury, Upton was hitting .396 in his last 48 at bats. Upton also stole second base after walking tonight to give him 44 for the season. That is currently good enough for 2nd in the AL, 5 behind Jacoby Ellsbury of the Red Sox.
Andy Sonnanstine
He has been trying for the last 7th starts to reach his 14th win for the Rays. Tonight was his last chance to grab at that golden ring this season for the Rays. Coming into tonight Sonnanstine has gone 0-2 since his last win against the Los Angels Angels back on August 18th. Alot of the problems have been after his exit in the game, but Sonnanstine also has done some damage himself this season. For example, in his last 3 starts, he has gone 19.1 innings and given up only 2 Earned Runs on 16 hits, while posting a 0.92 ERA.
Usually when you have a almost 3 games worth of totals like that you tend to have at least 2 wins in the books. But Andy has been snakebit and has been awarded nothing in those 3 starts. He is a guy who keeps you in the game and gives you a chance to win every time out. But tonight, he got his 9th loss of the season by just not hitting the right spots to one certain Tiger batter.
Sonnanstine got into trouble in the first inning tonight and it put himself and the Rays in a big hole early in the ballgame. Curtis Granderson fought off Sonnanstine's pitches and finally walked after 7 pitches to open the game. Sonnanstine then walked Placido Polanco to put the first two Tigers on base. Magglio Ordonez then took a 0-1 pitch the drilled it into the leftfield corner to score both baserunners.
Miguel Cabrera then hit a sharply dipping ball that B J Upton grabbed off the turf and completed a double play by throwing to 2nd base and tagging Ordonez out at 2nd base. The Gary Sheffield came up and hit the first of his 2 homers to righfield to put the Tigers up first 3-0 on the Rays. Ramon Santiago again camne back to bite the Rays tonight in the 2nd inning when he hit a 2-run homer to left to up the score to 5-0 Tigers. Santiago has now hit 3 homers in 2 days against the Rays. He had 1 homer the entire season before this series.
Rays Bullpen
After the 2nd inning, with the Tigers up 5-0, the Rays began to shut down the high powered Tiger offense. The only hits between the end of the second inning and the 8th inning , was a single to left by Sheffield in the 3rd inning and a single by Dane Sardinha in the 6th inning.
David Price came on in the 6th inning with 2-outs and hit the first batter he faced, pinch-hitter Brandon Inge. He then walked Sardinha on 4 pitches to load the bases. Price got Santiago to line out to Gabe Gross in right for the final out of the inning. Price then came out in the 7th inning and got 2 quick outs before being replaced by Grant Balfour with Ordonez comint to bat for the Tigers.
Balfour got Ordonez to end the 7th inning. Balfour then got Cabrera to strike out before leaving a breaking ball up and Sheffield hit his 499th career homer to right to put the Tigers up 6-3. Balfour then got Mike Joyce to strike out and Inge to ground out to Akinora Iwamura to end the inning.
Frustration Level: HIGH
In tonight's contest the Rays left 14 men on base. This is a stat that I have been harping on for almost the entire season. It is one that can make or break a team during a short series like the playoffs. The Rays have had breat opportunities to capitalize and score runs, but something always happens in thses situations.
Plenty of Scoring Chances
That tonight's game, in the 3rd inning Upton got a fielder's choice to the pitcher and scored Bartlett from third base, but Iwamura was forced out at second for the 2nd out of the inning. With Upton on first, Carlos Pena popped up to third to end the rally. Then in the 4th inning after Navarro hit his 27th double down the leftfield line, and Gabe Gross walked to put 2 men on base, Eric Hinske struck out to end the inning.
In the 5th inning, the Rays did start their most impressive rally of the night with Upton hitting his 75th career double to left to start the rally with 2-outs. Pena then hit aball up the middle to score Upton and Evan Longoria hit a ball through the hole at second base to put himself at first and Pena at third with Cliff Floyd coming to bat. Floyd ended up striking out to kill the rally
In the 7th inning after Upton hit his 9th homer of the season, Pena hit a beauty up the first baseline for a single. Longoria followed with a shot through the hole at shortstop and the Rays had 2 men on with 1-out. Rocco Baldelli pinch-hit for Floyd and struck out on 5 pitches. Navarro then hit a long fly ball to center for the 3rd out. In the 8th, the Rays again mounted a rally with 2-outs in the inning.
Jason Bartlett hit a ball deep into the shortstop hole for a single. Iwamura then hit a single just three feet left of Bartlett's hit to put 2 men on with 2 outs. Uprton then hit a single to short and loaded the bases for Pena. Pena hit a long fly ball to Granderson in center for the 3rd out. In the 9th inning, Baldelli walked on 5 pitches to give the Rays a runner. Navarro then hit a blooper to center for a single. He was then replaced by pinch-runner Jonny Gomes. Willy Aybar then hit a nice ball down the first baseline and scored Baldelli from second base. With Gomes now on third and Aybar at first, he was replaced by pinch-runner Carl Crawford. But two quick fly balls by Zorbrist and Bartlett ended the game and the rally for the Rays.
Rays Win by Default Tonight
With the New York Yankees winning 19-8 against the Boston Red Sox, the Rays' players and coaches' and fans will be celebrating into the wee morning hours with their first AL East title in the books. I know this is not the way the guys wanted to win this title, they wanted to win it on the field. It is important for these guys to actually have the chanceto win it on the field for their confidience level going into the playoffs. You never want to back into the playoffs in any manner, much less win your first division title by default.
Still, the excitement of finally fulfilling the goals set in Spring Training should be the thing right now. The fact that the Rays can still win their last 2 games and make tonight a moot point in this default setting. Thi is the first time since the Rays first season that someone other than the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox have won the American League East title.

During our fairly long history of discussion and debate, I have often accused him (most notably, here) of inconsistency with respect to the way he deals with questions of morality, of should and of ought. On the one hand, he'll say:
Which is why my opinions are not facts, nor do I pretend they are or otherwise mask them as such. (source)
One can passionately hold, and articulate, opinions without believing them necessarily to be facts. (source)
Again, though I cannot speak of moral facts or objective right and wrong, this doctrine is positively noxious and almost staggering in its inhumane cruelty. (source)
Then he'll turn around and say things like:
...a charlatan associated therewith vomited up nonsense about homosexuals living in sin and just begging to be thrown into the fire pit of hell (a place, incidentally, which I deconstruct in my own latest blog post). The individuals upon whom the vomit was spewed. (source)
...mindless theological inculcation...sexual-orientation-modification experiments...fire pit of eternal torture and savagery. What beneficence...who would be harming nobody, bothering nobody, making miserable nobody...To prostrate oneself before such a pristine conception of hideousness… I dunno… I find it sad...Again, though I cannot speak of moral facts or objective right and wrong, this doctrine is positively noxious and almost staggering in its inhumane cruelty. (source)
Throwing out a token "but it's not immoral" to cover his tracks, where his tracks clearly show a trail through Moral/Immoral-Land, is unconvincing. As I've said before, his inability to hold, even for one little blog comment, to his stated beliefs about morality is staggering. And again the throwaway "cannot speak of moral facts"; he knows exactly what he's trying to say.
And for the hundredth time, who cares what he thinks?
Let me propose extending his "not facts, just opinions, since there are no facts, but I still think what I have to say has value for others, else I wouldn't be saying these things, now would I?" passive-aggressive paradigm to other areas of life and knowledge.
So, since one can passionately hold, and articulate, opinions without believing them necessarily to be facts, I passionately hold and want to articulate that evolution is false and Intelligent Design is true. Now, according to the JN, there's no way to bring evidence for or against his assertions of what he finds morally praiseworthy or reprehensible. Similarly, because I say so, and because I passionately hold to this opinion, my viewpoint is just as valid as anyone else's.
I passionately believe that the blue sky is a fuzzy blanket of happiness that God pulls over the despairing blackness of the night sky, and removes every evening. I also passionately hold that the stars are little pinpricks in the Dyson sphere-like canopy that envelopes the Earth, and God's glory, which is found in full force behind the canopy, shines through those pricks just a little bit, in order to put happy smiles on the faces of children throughout the world.
I passionately hold that mixing common household ingredients together will produce gold. (Next time, I vow to use just a little more Pine-Sol!) Last time, I mixed baking soda, vinegar, and dish soap. Even though the resulting sludge did not resemble gold as I usually experience it, that's OK b/c I know that what I passionately hold is worth expressing, and so it has value for myself and others. Hmm, where's the nearest pawn shop?
I passionately hold that since humans share a great deal of genetic code in common with broccoli, I can treat humans just like I treat broccoli. That is, I decapitate broccoli and eat it in salad. So...
I passionately hold that the President ordering the US Mint to print $3 billion in non-sequential $20 bills and giving them all to me will drastically improve the US economy. Drastically.
Remember another thing here - a very valid criticism I often level against atheists like the JN is that they frequently commit Hume's naturalistic fallacy and confuse IS statements with OUGHT statements. To wit - just because (for the sake of argument) gratuitous suffering IS/EXISTS gives us no information about any obligation, no directive as far as how we ought to respond to that suffering. Do we imprison the rapist, or do we join him in raping his victims? Without some external paradigm to provide moral direction to us, the bare fact of "this man is forcing these girls to have sex with him and they don't want to" leads neither to "I ought to stop him" nor "I ought to help him".
Thus, only IS statements exist. (Thus, atheism is the ultimate "Meh".) What else are IS statements? Everything I just said about science, evolution, chemistry, biology, astronomy, physics, and economics! Take the Jolly Nihilist's contention a little further than he has apparently thought it through and you arrive at a fantasyland where reality is limited only by your imagination, boys and girls!

Your essay's fine, but I'd delete a few of the references to money.
Also, I think they will place applicants above you who actually want to be nurses, not plastic surgeons. They are going to put resources into your education, and they don't want their graduates leaving for greener pastures as soon as they can.
Just my opinion.

Original Gamer
You have to complete the majority of Homestead Missions before all three games become available! The tactics of your enemy will vary a lot, especially for the Fanorona game. Try to copy the first moves shown in the video below, but keep in mind that it will all get random at some point and you need to adjust your tactics.
Can be played in the homestead manor and becomes available during DNA sequence 5.
The goal is to capture all enemy pieces. You can move your own piece multiple times each round, as long as an attack is possible. Concentrate on taking out the majority of enemy pieces very quickly without losing too many of your own. When your enemy has 3 pieces left you should have at least 6. You will sometimes have to sacrifice one of your pieces to make the opponent attack and to take his piece in return. This is the hardest game out of all three and the computer changes the tactics a lot. Try to stick to the first moves shown in the video. It's very important to get the upper hand early on. You can use an online version of the game to tell you what moves to make.
Can be played outside the homestead inn and becomes available during the 4th homestead mission of Godfrey & Terry.
The goal is to have your bowls closest to the red bowl at the end of a round. The more of your bowls are close to the red bowl, the more points will you get. The first player who gets 5 points will win. This is by far the easiest mini-game. Your opponent is very inaccurate and barely gets any points. Always use the tactical camera for a better overview and you shouldn't have any trouble with this.
Morris EASY WAY
Go to this Website
Once there set the game to Roman Number VII and on Assassins Creed when the game asks you if you want to go first click no. Bet 100 might as well considering it's also a thief challenge. So now every move the computer makes you make on the game against your opponent. Every move the AI makes on computer you make on the game. Essentially this is AI v.s. AI but you get the benefit of the achievement!

Lifetime Honor for Roy Hastick, Legend in Business
"Dr. Hastick was chosen because of his long history of hard work and commitment to the goal of creating opportunities for those interested in establishing an 'economic foothold' in the United States and the Caribbean,†said Ms. Minna LaFortune
A major figure in New York's Caribbean Community, Dr. Roy Hastick, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Caribbean-American Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc., CACCI, is being honored for his lifetime of work and contributions to the economic and social development of the City.
Dr. Hastick who launched the Chamber more than a quarter of a century ago and has presided over its rise to considerable influence as an essential organization that encourages the growth of small enterprises and entrepreneurship, especially among people from the Caribbean in the five boroughs is to be presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless advocacy of business expansion by Caribbean immigrants. The honor is being bestowed on him by the Society for the Advancement of the Caribbean Diaspora, SACD, a prominent non-profit, tax exempt organization.
"Dr. Hastick was chosen because of his long history of hard work and commitment to the goal of creating opportunities for those interested in establishing an 'economic foothold' in the United States and the Caribbean," said Ms. Minna LaFortune, President of the Society. "His vision and steadfastness, plus his dedication to the success of the Caribbean Diaspora, the Caribbean region and the United States have inspired many of us in the Caribbean community, as well as other immigrant communities. He has earned the Lifetime Achievement the old-fashioned way: he has earned it."
The honor is being bestowed on Dr. Hastick at the Society's Third Annual Awards Dinner Gala to be held in the Metcalfe Hall Building, Luntey Commons, at the Brooklyn Downtown Campus of Long Island University, located at Flatbush and Dekalb Avenues, on November 12th. The function begins at 7 p.m.
"Dr. Hastick who will also be the dinner's keynote speaker didn't confine his activities to business and the Caribbean community. He has focused much of his attention and directed much of his and the chamber's energy to children and to people of color wherever they are," added Ms. LaFortune. "The function is the Society's major annual fund-raising event and it brings members of our community together in a family friendly and festive atmosphere to meet and honor Caribbean-Americans who have made outstanding contributions to society. A part of the proceeds from this event will go towards the establishment of a scholarship Fund whose resources will be used to assist economically disadvantaged Caribbean-American students.
Ms. Caribbean Queen 2011, Ameena Caesar is to appear at the gala and is scheduled to sing the U.S. national anthem to begin the evening's program. Other entertainment is to be provided by the New Revalations Dance Theater, Teddy Crawford Experience and the popular DJ Shockwave Sound from one Caribbean Radio.
Guests attending the dinner will receive copies of a special journal. Advertising space is available at reasonable rates. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. "We are drawing attention to our young people, hence the theme, 'Educating our Youth,' a matter of keen interest to people everywhere in these difficult economic and social times," said Ms. LaFortune.
Tickets for the event are still available. The cost of each ticket is $65.00 and can be bought online at Eventbrite.com/org
Students with ID can purchase a ticket for $50.00 and will receive a one year free membership with SACD. Tickets can also be bought by calling Ms. LaFortune at 917-771-7935.
Society For The Advancement Of The Caribbean Diaspora (SACD) is a 501c3 non-profit tax exempt organization. The organization's mission includes the goal of engaging the communities of the Caribbean Diaspora through the exploration of common interests and concerns, and utilizing collective resources to ensure the welfare and advancement of the Caribbean Diaspora. Activities of the organization include the following: mentoring, networking events, and personal development workshops, cultural events such as, Caribbean Diaspora art & craft exhibitions and film screenings.

CROSSROADS: 12 predictions for local government digital comms in 2013Posted: December 28, 2012 | Author: Dan Slee | Filed under: local government | Tags: 2012, 2013, @whocareswalsall, comms, customer services, data journalism, digital, digital customer services, Facebook, gatwick airport, hurricane sandy, JFDI, linked social, New York, norfolk, norfolk county council, open data, pinterest, predictions, social media, twitter, unconference |12 Comments
Never make predictions, especially about the future. Wise words I feel.
With a bit of time to pass about 12 months ago I rather boldly made some 12 predictions for local government digital which is an area I work in a bit. You can read them here.
So, 12 months later I thought it maybe an interesting experiment in pointing and laughing at myself to see how accurate they were and make 12 more.
What was right?
JFDI did die. What's JFDI? It's Just Flipping Do It. It's putting something up as an experiment without having to go through layers of policy and permissions. Chucking up a Facebook page had the whiff of revolution in 2009. Now everyone is using it and there's strategies wrapped in HR policies it's hard to have the space to innovate.
Digital customer services are growing. Norfolk County Council have blazed a trial on Twitter that others are following.
Someone did do something really stupid and it didn't see their operation shut down. Little did I think it would be my own organisation. A member of staff accidentally tweeted from the corporate account that they soon wished that hadn't. It wasn't fun. But it wasn't fatal, thankfully.
Emergency planners are using digital channels as second nature. The gift of big-powerful-ultra-storm-but-not-quite-a-hurricane Sandy which struck New York showed how powerful real time updates, cleaning-up and myth-busting became.
The local government social media star was someone you'd never heard of in place you didn't think was digital friendly. For me, this was @whocareswalsall who stage pop-up campaigns around social care. Their live tweeting from the home of a dementia sufferer and his carer was breathtakingly good. Why? It painted a personal story that would not have been possible without digital.
Linked social has grown. This is a move away from just a corporate account to a range of accounts and platforms from the same authority.
Good conferences had an unconference element. Or were unconferences. The days of £200 a ticket events have gone. The days of £100 a ticket seem dated. There was a lively online debate on the merit of unconferences but the best bits of inspiration I found came from barcamps and in the West Midlands there was an explosion of them.
Newspapers have carried on dying. Bit of a home banker of a prediction this. Although there are signs with live blogging and other tools that they are seeing the value of social media.
What was wrong?
Data journalism didn't grow. Nationally, maybe. But locally not and bloggers were not in the main building mash-ups to hold instutions to account.
What was half right?
Comms is still fighting for control of social media and not sharing the sweets nicely, like they need to. They'll learn eventually.
Data visualisation didn't boom. There were isolated pockets of how it could be used well but it's far from being an accepted part of the comms armoury.
Some amazing things happened in Scotland. There were events planned across the country on Twitter and people like Carolyne Mitchell, Leah Lockhart, David Grindlay, Kate Bond and others are doing great things but I get the feeling it's not quite in the mainstream.
Here's 12 rash predictions for 2013
1. Comms teams will become smaller. Always in the frontline for criticism they will become bigger targets.Which leads to…
2. Smart comms people in local government will realise that channel shift comms may be the reason they will survive. It costs money to talk to people face-t0-face. It's cheaper on the web. But how do you tell people about the best way to get a job done? By good comms which needs to be evaluated to see how effective it has been not by a potential audience but by the number of people who stopped calling and started reporting online.
3. Twitter defamation lawyers4u will become a reality. The wild west days of the social web will be over. The row over tweeting false allegations against Tory Ministers has changed the landscape. How soon before ambulance chasing gets replaced with tweet chasing? How soon before a local politician takes legal action over a rogue tweet?
4. Innovation will wither as as spare capacity is cut. With less people doing more things they room for ground breaking projects will shrink and ever disappear.
5. The private sector will be doing the best innovation. Up until now JFDI has taken the public sector very far. Well resourced private sector comms teams will do the best creative thinking. Seen what Gatwick Airport do with social media? You simplty must. Twitter as an engagenent channel. Pinterest to promote shops and offers. Soundcloud for audio books for children parents can play their fractious children. Brilliant.
6. Digital comms specialists are needed. Yes, we all need to be doing it. But there needs to be a hand on the tiller of any organisation just to steady the ship, see what is on the horizon and think creatively. Sorry. But there is. The evidence of Gatwick tells us this.
7. Digital box ticking needs to be guarded against. As the argument has been won it becomes mainstream. Bad social media will become more prevalent as the box marked 'we've tweeted from our own special account' is ticked.
8. People will see that social media isn't a golden bullet. Social media has had a great run. It's promised lots and has delivered an awful lot. But it's one of several channels.
9. Facebook as a local government channel is over. With the change of algorithm Facebook at a stroke has reduced the number of people who see your updates to around 10 to 15 per cent. That's like the postman keeping 90 per cent of your birthday cards. No, really it is. Matt Murray and Jim Garrow have blogged well on this subject.
12 Comments on "CROSSROADS: 12 predictions for local government digital comms in 2013"
Thanks for getting the grey matter going Dan. What's the localgov digital project though?
Dan Slee says:
Hi Vicky. Hope you are good. The localgov digital is a practioner network that is being shaped with input from the LGA. It's quite beta at the moment.
tomsprints says:
Dan, good stuff. Your final bit bothers me a bit, though. Things don't ever start big or become big overnight. They start small. Some stay small because that's their job. The trick, if your prediction is to come true, is to find ways to take small beginnings that have the potential to be really good, big projects, and grow them in the right way.
I'm regularly on record as saying that one of the most damaging characteristics of local government is its "not invented here" attitude – its regular scorn for things that are not home grown. That's not universal, but it's oh so common in the larger authorities: the very ones whose involvement might actually give a project the necessary critical mass.
So, how do we take something small, yet make it big while still allowing it to be seen as being small in places where "big" might suggest it "wasn't invented here"? The crucial thing is that it has got to be seen as making a difference wherever it goes. No good trumpeting that "Project X" made a huge difference in Authority Y. That's because "Can't see that happening here" is first cousin to "Not invented here", and is just as much of a wrecker.
You're right that part of the answer is that the projects need to tackle "big issues". Maybe the biggest issue still to be tackled is the continuing snail's pace of social media development in far too many local authorities? It's easy to say that not embracing it is "their loss", and that sort of thing, which I've heard often in 2012. The truth is that we all lose when potential big projects are having to move at the pace of the slowest and most reluctant partners.
McAlpine, and the spectre of the "tweet chasing" litigation to which you refer, have, in my view, set us back immeasurably. It's now far too easy for the knockers, who are, of course, usually those with most to lose (power, influence, empires, etc) to point to one incident and tar everything with that brush. Let's not forget that we all agreed a long time ago that local government was cripplingly risk-averse.
So, we want a big project, that will look like a small project, while also looking "safe"? Reckon your prediction's going to need more than a year to pull that one off.
And interesting that social media didn't feature on Pickles' "50 ways" list, too?
Dan Slee says:
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your considered comment. It's always good to read your thoughts on things.
I know where you are coming from on things starting small. I've always believed in the idea of doing three or four things small scale to see if they'll work and telling your bosses' boss about the two that really fly. Think we're both agreed that if you try and fly something you are not quite sure about you are likelyto have egg on the face.
I suppose what I'm getting at is the need to tackle bigger subjects. Universal Credit for me is the elephant in the room. It sounds like a piece of government name changing at face value. Actually, in practice it's going to be huge and especially huge in terms of its impact on local government and residents. More than 20 per cent of the population don't use the web but to claim this they'll have to use the web. That's a potential headache.
So in short, how to take a small scale project and try and scale it up very swiftly. That can be shared across huge parts of local government. That's what'll make a big impact and it feels as though that step change is needed for what we've all collectively done over the lst few years to really grow, really develop and really make an impact.

Hi Dan – Great stuff as always and keeping me going as I'm alone in the office over the holidays.
I'm still not totally convinced that FB is dead as a LG channel. I think we all know that FB is a space where a lot of our stakeholders (I can't think of a better word at the moment) interact. And, at least here, we put a lot of effort into listening to what's being said in social media channels.
I've always been slightly sceptical about FB partly because FB seems to change itself every 6 months (finding how to monetise content?) Also, the idea of users "liking" a local authority doesn't compute.
We've taken a deliberate approach to use FB for general services/events that we provide, manage and/or fund rather going corporate. It's not an overwhelming success, but we do seem to be tapping into some broader networks and had good conversations.
Of course, losing 90% of your potential reach is going to make you think about how you use FB. That said, I've got stats in front of me that show reach of one of our pages increasing fivefold in the last week.
Given FB's record of goalpost moving, I wouldn't bet that the 90% hit is permanent. I'm willing to post smarter and hold on for another 6 months.
Dan Slee says:
Hi Pete. Think of the Facebook comment as a cry of frustration. Not least because it's a bit dispiriting sitting down with people across the organisation and watching their enthusiasm wane because people just don't see their updates to grow the page. Jim Garrow – who is brilliant as I know you know – did point out that it's probably still worth having a page to interact and communicate. For people who haven't see it you can do here: http://faceofthematter.com/2012/12/27/top-five-smem-lessons-learned-in-2012-the-demise-of-facebook/.

Walter Neary says:
This is just a great post. There's a lot of insights packed in here. I loved the line "Bad social media will become more prevalent as the box marked 'we've tweeted from our own special account' is ticked." Definitely have to give the Facebook question some thought. I'm thinking that even if 10 percent see the message, if the message is important enough they will share it with others.
Dan Slee says:
Thanks, Walter!
Social media used to be a club. Enthusiasts would do it and fight to do it at work. Now they've – we've – won the battle as to whether or not organisations should do it there's the army of laggards being press ganged into doing it. Without the zeal and enthusiasm that saw early projects fly.
The box that says: 'I have a Twitter. It has 12 followers. We have tweeted. Ergo we have social media covered' is one to be aware of and points to why good organisations have one responsible for social media. Not responsible for delivering it all themselves. But to allow a decent standard to be maintained and to horizon scan because trust me, the bloke who has been told he has to do social media and would rather not will NOT be experimenting with ways to best use LinkedIn as an org…

PRINCETON — Sewer smoke testing for the city of Princeton will take place the week of Oct. 7. As part of efforts to reduce clear-water entry into the sanitary sewer system, testing of the sewers will be conducted in the following areas: east side of Main Street south of Park Avenue to Thompson Street; Church Street and Chestnut Street south of Park Avenue; Thompson Street east to Euclid Avenue; Lake Street; Oak Street; North Euclid Avenue between Hudson Street and Warren Street; Hudson Street; Franklin Street; Jacqualine Lane; Fox Creek; and Linwood Drive.
During the examination, a dense smoke will be blown through the sanitary sewers from a manhole. Smoke will then appear from any roof drains, catch basins or house vent stacks connected to the system. The appearance of smoke from house vent stacks is normal and does not indicate a defect in the plumbing.
Smoke may appear in basements by means of unused floor drains, disconnected or faulty plumbing fixtures or/and direct opening to the house lateral. To reduce this possibility, pour water down all floor drains, sinks or other plumbing fixtures.
The smoke used for the tests is non-staining and will disappear rapidly without leaving a residual odor. If smoke should appear in your building during the test, leave the building and contact a member of the survey team.
For more information, contact the city of Princeton at 815-879-3961 or Visu-Sewer, Inc. at 800-876-8478.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are delighted to offer you our products branded in the name of FM GROUP. The idea of creating exclusive cosmetic line was born during Artur's Trawinski (chief executive officer of the FM GROUP POLAND) annual stay in Australia. After he had returned to Poland he decided to realize his idea. Looking for perfect products he got many propositions for collaboration from many different companies, however, he decided to co-operate with the company he knew well run by his father. His company has been producing perfumes for 10 years. Fragrance for the perfumes is created by the one of the biggest companies in the world with the 100 years tradition which is growing up very fast and has its bases in Europe, Australia, Africa, United States and Brazil. FM does not sell fakes. You will never see another logo on our products. Only ours. We don't pretend to be anything or anyone else. The packaging is FM, the ingredients are FM, the models and image campaign are all FM, and the names of our perfumes are FM numbers. The only reason you might think it is "fake" is because our scents are all inspired by the top 150 perfumes in the world. But let us tell you:
Fact #1 85% of designer perfumes are made by the same company that supplies us with our ingredients in Europe.
Fact #2 is that our perfume is graded higher. So if you have been settling for Eau de Toilette all your life and have been paying hundreds, you can now enjoy the scent that you deserve and upgrade to a more concentrated fragrance and pay less. This is the wonderful offer that FM is giving the world!

App Review: Cinemagram by Factyle Inc.
February 24, 2012 by Dorothy
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Entertainment, General, Photography
Photography has always been one of my husband's hobbies. So, I have gleaned a lot over the years about picture taking and the many ways in which you can alter photo and video to create cool visual effects. When I saw the app, Cinemagram, I was intrigued by the way that the app allowed users to seemingly combine video and still photos to create illusions. I had to get in on the fun and try it myself.
The app is actually quite simple and easy to use. When you first launch it, you are given simple instructions on how to proceed. After viewing the instructions, I still found myself a little lost in the app. After tapping around for awhile, I quickly found that it is not hard to figure things out, though. The first thing I would recommend you do is to browse through some of the other pictures to get an feel for what works and what doesn't. One thing to note here is that Factyle Inc. did experience some problems at first with users posting inappropriate material in their app. However, they have made a concerted effort to rid the app of this offensive content and ban the users from posting. I applaud their efforts, and from what I can see they have done a good job of cleaning things up.
When you are ready to create your own picture, tap on "Capture" at the bottom of the screen to bring up the camera. There are only a few buttons on this screen. In the top left you can turn on and off the camera flash to provide more light, the top right button turns the camera around to face you, and the button at the bottom starts and stops the video. Keep in mind that the video that you use for your final product will probably be shorter than the original one you took. Of all the videos that I filmed, there was never one that I didn't have to shorten. However, having extra video can be helpful. It allows you to choose the best section to use for your picture. You can then slide the selector bar over the frames of the video to select exactly which section of the recording you want to use. There is even a play button at the bottom of the screen so that you can watch your selection before finalizing it.
The most important step in the whole process, and probably the most tedious as well, is selecting the section of the video that you want to allow to keep moving while the rest of the picture remains still. The tricky part here is that you are not able to select a specific object like a ball to be the moving object. You actually need to select an area of the screen to show movement. Anything that moves within that space during your video will move. Even simple videos may take several tries to get things to look exactly the way you want them to look. You can pinch and zoom to attain better accuracy. Selecting the area you want can be a cumbersome process. Make sure that you allow enough time between using your finger to select an area and using your finger to pan around the screen. It takes the app longer than you think to register the change.
After you select the area of motion for your video, you have some choices of color schemes as well as the option to have the motion move forward only or oscillate back and forth. Then, you can finally preview your video. If there are problems or changes you want to make, now is the time to go back and fix them before everything is finalized. If there are no changes to be made, you can save your creation to the app, post it on Facebook or Twitter, or even email to people.
I enjoyed playing with Cinemagram. The app is entertaining, easy to use, and can create a lot of really cool pictures. It was difficult for me at first to create pictures that were clean and only allowed motion in the objects that I wanted to move. The more I worked at it, the easier it got. Cinemagram has its limitations, but it is great fun.

Hello "Xtream",Do they wear out quickly? Do they need to be replaced often? is there a need to buy spares?
Maybe I should order a bunch? This way I have them when I need them?
Thanks for letting me know OB I was just going to order a bunch!!!!
As soon as I posted the video about the new "EPIC SLIDER METAL PULLEY" we sold out immediately in a matter of hours. But will have more in by the end of this month.
Now concerning wearing out quickly, this will never happen same thing with the "O" Rings. You will eventually wear the lines. So you don't need to replace them at all, but again you always need to take care of your equipment.
Only order what you need

Since I seem to be CIRP'ing on an increasingly regular basis, I should get my characters up here for reference...
Name: Ode Sparrowmoon
RP World: Gaera Main
Birthdate: Oct. 31st
Birthplace: unknown
Age: 27
Occupation: Traveling exorcist/ghostbuster/sorcerer
Family: Aede Sparrowmoon (sister)
Race: Human
Physical description: here and here
Personality: Generally quiet and reserved. She takes awhile to trust people--Most of the 'people' she deals with tend to be spirits, and that in addition to her mask tend to make people a little uneasy around her, and she around them.
Fighting Style: Primarily defensive/evasive, long range. Specializes in stealth (invisibility, silence) and illusion. Weapons of choice are a pair of long knives/daggers, although she's skilled with a quarterstaff as well.
"Theme" Song: Heard Somebody Cry by Oingo Boingo
Religious Beliefs: Raised under the Gaeran equivalent to Zen Buddhism, and still somewhat adheres to those beliefs. Obviously she's quite aware of the existence of spirits, though she's never run into any gods. Mostly Ode wishes for any supernatural beings to leave her alone, and thus does not appeal to them for aid.
History/Background: Ode was presumably born somewhere in the northwest of Igala, possibly in the town of Everingshal. However, she and her sister, Aede, were orphaned at a young age, and were taken in by the monks of the Shirasagi temple, some ways southwest of Everingshal. When Ode was about thirteen, she ran afoul of some malicious spirits in the graveyard outside the temple. This encounter was both a curse and a blessing: she gained the ability to use magic and see in the dark; but the spirits who attacked her continued to haunt her, and she was pushed to the edge of insanity by waking nightmares before a solution was found in the form of her mask. The mask hid her identity from the spirits who sought her, while allowing her to see the spirits themselves.
The monks cared for her while she was recovering, but then regretfully asked her to leave. Her presence drew all kinds of spirits to her, and brought bad luck to the temple. She left, traveling first with her sister and then alone, gaining slow control over her abilities and looking for a way to be rid of the curse and her mask. Mainly she did this through extensive traveling, looking for any information that might be had, and dealing with any local ghosts or spirits in exchange. She still has yet to find a solution, but in the meantime has picked up a rather impressive range of knowledge and lore regarding spirits, ghosts, and other strange arcana.
