THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.82 / 5.00 6,391 ViewsNumber 5 in the escape series. Think fast because hypothermia kills.
I re-wrote the engine in AS3 and tried to make subtle improvements to the interface and interaction with the game. Let me know what you think!
I've played the whole series....
And I think this is the best so far. I liked the added element of danger, dying slowly from the cold. The only thing I didn't understand was the formula you had to create. Didn't it call for zinc or something cause I didn't have to add any... I also take it that the silver key was just a decoy?
For some reason, there is a blue sheet that has an X on it on the top,bottom,right, and left of the screen. I cant move anywhere! wtf is going on?
One of the best escape games yet! I got out on my first try in 8:54!
It was really fun, and the cooling system was actually pretty damn cool. It gave the game the urgency that you need to try to figure everything out ASAP.
Excellent work.

As an intern at the CCAO, each of us is assigned a few Columban mission countries to monitor. One of my assigned countries is Japan. By now, we have all heard about the horrible effects of the earthquake and tsunami. To date, the death toll has reached 11,620 and 16,464 are still missing.
After reading about and seeing images of the mass destruction, I have been greatly moved. I can't even imagine what life must be like right now for the Japanese people, especially those who have lost loved ones. Amidst this death and destruction, however, Father Daisuke Narui, director of Caritas Japan, has delivered a more positive message: "This painful event may be an opportunity to spread the values of the Gospel, that is, the fraternity of all men and women, the building of common good, the recognition that every person has the dignity of a child of God and is important in the eyes of God." What a powerful message. It is easy to forget the injustice and suffering that is happening around the world when it is not a part of our daily lives. But Father Narui's message served as an important reminder for me. While I feel so distant and unable to relate to what Japan is going through, I know that I am united with each and every victim in the fraternity of man.
This is a message that I have carried through to all of the work that I do with the CCAO. A few weeks ago, I attended a Congressional briefing regarding water and sanitation issues. It was part of an Advocacy Day for World Water Day 2011 on March 22. Many people were gathered from around the world to advocate for access to clean water and sanitation for those who often cannot speak for themselves. As I sat listening to the briefing, bottled water in my hand, I thought of all those who go without clean water. While these people may live thousands of miles from us, we are joined together in the body of Christ, sharing in the same human dignity.
This is what inspires me every day at the CCAO, and what I hope inspires many others so that together we can fulfill our Christian duty to work for the good of all God's children.

miniature beauty
This weekend I was helping my mother have a little barn sale, when I rediscovered her vintage salt and pepper shaker collection. She had kept all of her favorites, but couldn't justify holding on to these little beauties.
You might remember that my mother's collections are vast, and I am always trying to help her with a little purge. However, I suddenly recalled Resurrection Fern's lovely thimble vases and went to rescue these little vessels from an imminent sale. I've loved things in miniature form since I was a child and making bouquets, big or small, is always favorite. This 20 minute activity proved to be one of the highlights of my weekend! Sometimes it's the little things...
My daughter loved it for all of the same reasons...gathering beauty in small forms feels so right to children.
What other vessels could you repurpose into mini vases? We're off to search for more. Maybe a glass one like this or even one of these. Please let me know if you come up with some other ideas for holding flowers. Remember to pick an assortment of little blossoms for this tiny project!

I saw a miniature pincuchion made into a plastic bottle cap over here: http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2007/06/tiny-pin-cushion-tutorial.html
I guess you could make it into those miniature beauties too.
Mimi Kirchner makes tiny worlds into old teacups: http://mimikirchner.com/blog/archives/2008/06/tiny-worlds/
Glad you could save them!!My dad is an artist that makes "Weed Pots". He turns itty bitty vases from wood on his lathe. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these tiny vases. They are adorable! You can see some on Etsy here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5058480
Small things appeal to me too, probably because I'm being baraged with tiny, sweaty, smashed handfulls of dandelions, weeds and leaves on a daily basis from my two year old after her nature walks. Oh I just love those moments, and every little sweaty bit of green that I pry from her fists!What a fantastic idea! I love how you (and Resurrection Fern) make me look at the world in NEW WAYS. It just makes every day more of an adventure, doesn't it, looking for the whimsy around us? You really have to peer carefully at life to appreciate the miniature. Now I see a whole world in moss, for example.
I love mamablogger's idea of fitting the flowers into the little holes.I am so happy you thought of my little thimble vases and rescued those beautiful salt and pepper sets. Some other small vessels I like to use are play tea sets of which I have a small collection, test tubes and old tiny laboratory stuff and I just thought of a new one I am going to exploit soon for dried flowers. I will save that one for my blog in the near future.

Four years ago this Sunday, the Deepwater Horizon blowout incinerated 11 men and poisoned 600 miles of Gulf coastline. What political fairy dust allows BP to remain virtually immune from the consequences?
- 2014/04/18
Posted on Apr 18, 2014
By Greg Palast
"There was CIA involvement through a company called Mega Oil. They were shipping in arms under the cover of oil tools."
The BP executive was explaining to me how the CIA, MI6 and British Petroleum engineered a coup d'état, overthrowing a nation's elected president who was "not favorable to BP." The corporation's former vice president, Leslie Abrahams, is pictured above, holding an AK-47 in front of BP's offices in Baku, Azerbaijan. Like most of the other BP executives I spoke with, he proudly added that although he was working for BP, he was also an operative for MI6, British intelligence.
This conversation, which took place in 2010, was far from the weirdest I had in my four-continent investigation of the real story of the Deepwater Horizon.
The BP oil rig blew out on April 20 of that year, four years ago this Sunday.
Last month, the Obama administration officially OK'd BP's right to resumedrilling in the Gulf of Mexico. A few days after lifting the ban, just to assure the company that all is forgiven, the U.S. Department of the Interior gave BP a new contract to drill in the Gulf of Mexico—right next to where the Deepwater Horizon went down. At the same time, the forgive-and-forget U.S. Justice Department has put the trial of David Rainey, the only BP big shot charged with a felony crime in the disaster, on indefinite hold.
The Deepwater Horizon blowout incinerated 11 men on the rig and poisoned 600 miles of Gulf coastline. What political fairy dust does BP keep in its pocket to receive virtual immunity from the consequences?
To understand what really happened in the Gulf of Mexico, and how BP became a corporate creature beyond the reach of the law, British television network Channel 4 sent me on an investigation through a labyrinthine fun house of bribery, lap dancing, beatings, WikiLeaks, a coup d'état, arrests and oil-state terror.
I found the cause of the tragedy of the Deepwater Horizon 7,000 miles from the Gulf in the ancient city of Baku, the Central Asian caravan stop on the Silk Road.

Finely grate the potatoes on a hand grater. Place in batches into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible, place in a large bowl. Add the onion, beaten egg, baking powder, flour, and cilantro, and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet until almost smoking. Drop potato mixture into the skillet 1 heaping tablespoon at a time and smooth the tops with the back of a spoon to 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Fry over moderate heat, turning them once with a spatula for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove to a platter lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil if necessary. Top each with a small dollop of mango serrano creme fraiche, flaked trout, and a cilantro leaf.
Combine in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

In any personal web site, the section I read first is the one with all the personal information - the "about" section. Not coincidentally, it's also my least favorite section to compose, and for all the same reasons I love to read that kind of information on other people's sites. I am real (as far as I can tell) and I like to know that other individuals who choose to hoist themselves online are also real. I like catching details of other people's bedrooms in the backgrounds of photos. I like knowing their zodiac signs, and hearing about how much they think Vertical Horizon rocks it. But sharing my own friends, or my not-so-secret love for Vertical Horizon and The Onion and Google.com? It terrifies me.
I had considered placing something smug and nonsensical (in the style of 'wacky' - where crazy, inconceiveable personal details are included, written in some hackneyed, referential media byline style) but then it occurred to me that I'm not even clever enough to make that a useful exercise. Then I considered cutting myself and smearing the blood across my computer screen but I think that might not successfully reach everyone. That said, here is a small shitheap of true and personal such and sundry.
THE VERY NEUROTIC ME If I were you, before becoming too distracted, I would rub this spot to make your way through an abridged tour of my own personal history of neuroses. It may leave you feeling sick - that feeling is perfectly normal. I experienced it the entire time I composed this section.
THE HARPER'S INDEX OF ME If anxiety spooks you, you might enjoy this short personal timeline. I hope it includes enough information to make you feel slightly more intimate with me, without causing you to experience the impulse to wash your hands or have your eyes put out that is generally associated with becoming my intimate.
THE STORY OF TREMBLE.COM IS THE STORY OF ME This site has been around a long time, since the days of tilde personal pages. Since before weblogs, and parodies of weblogs. I'm grateful that most of the people who knew it from the very beginning are dead now. In their absence, here is all I remember.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can damage your eyes, not just your skin. Choose sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays. Opt for wraparound sunglasses or close-fitting sunglasses with wide lenses that protect your eyes from every angle. Keep in mind that the color and degree of darkness sunglasses provide have nothing to do with the sunglasses' ability to block UV rays.

bash split array and assign a variable to an element
wonder if you can help. I have a bash script which is generating an array... Quote:
1 a z 2 b y 3 c x quit gives the array three elements. Is there a way i can split these elements based on column and assign them to a variable? so if column1=$number (1, 2 and 3) column2=$letter (a, b and c) column3=$anotherletter (z, y and x) i can perform an action on each e.g. Quote:
Please use ***[code][/code]*** tags around your code and data, to preserve the original formatting and to improve readability. Do not use quote tags, bolding, colors, "start/end" lines, or other creative techniques.
Your best bet is simply to use another read command, either with separate variables or another array. Code:
for i in "${!array[@]}"; do string manipulations in bash |
awesome david, works well. thanks
Great. Please mark the thread as solved.
Oh, and I almost forgot, be sure to always quote your variable expansions, otherwise shell word-splitting will take place (with a few minor exceptions, such as inside [[..]]). Code:

38 Years On, the 3CR New and Experimental Music Show Rides Again!
On Saturday afternoon, April 2, 2016, as part of Jacques Soddell's "Undue Noise at Punctum" series, I performed at the ICU space of Punctum Arts in Castlemaine. I was part of a very long (but fun) afternoon and evening of performances by many wonderful people. More details HERE.
My piece was 43 minutes long, for Keyboard Sampler and Pre-recorded Soundtracks. In the first half of the piece, the prerecorded part was made with Kaleidoscope sonifying star maps from the SkyView app. The live samples were made with the new UVI Falcon sampler, using a variety of favorite souds from the past, such as my homemade Balloon Gongs and Tuning Forks, Bird Calls, Wind Chords (from Samples III, 1987!), and new sources such as a Fractal Wavetable, and the squeaking gate on the south side of Victoria Park, Daylesford.
In the second half of the piece, one prerecorded sequence consists of my sonifications of the Rorschach drawings from Benjamin Boretz's "If I Am a Musical Thinker," which I developed for Carmen Chan's realization of that text. The other prerecorded sequence uses newly recorded sounds of a Cicada, a drainage tunnel at Rickett's Point, Vic; and some Port Phillip Bay waves, also from Rickett's point. Also there are the sounds of sonified fractal drawings; an old Bill Evans CD, fragmented and stretched and blurred using the Composers' Desktop Project software; some stretches of the drainage tunnel sounds (also with CDP), and at the end, a 2 minute segment of algorithmically generated drum music, made with a new free drum sample set that my friend and Soundbytesmag.net colleague Sulieman Ali was involved with the making of. The live part consists of me playing keyboard which is controlling two instances of the Modartt Pianoteq piano, one in 19 tone equal temperament, the other in 13 tone equal temperament. The order of the pitches in both scales has been scrambled. That is, the notes of each scale are not ascending, but randomly reordered. There are, in fact, two different random orderings of each scale, one in the first half of the section, the other in the second half. In the middle of this section, I also add the granulation and fragmentations made possible by the GRM Tools Shuffling module.
I'm quite pleased with the sound of this piece. There seems to be a very nice mix of sound types, and a nice progression of sounds. I'm still learning to listen to what I've done here, and so far, I like what I hear, and I hope you do too.
And for those of you on machines without access to the Flash Player, you can download the piece HERE.
My friends tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE and etta cetera visited Australia from April-June 2000. They stayed with me in my flat in Elwood, and we did a lot of collaboration on various projects. As well, I was working on a number of projects at this time. tENT and etta documented pretty much all of what they did in Australia, and pretty much all of what we collaborated on. So now, 16 years later, tENT has put together ALL of the footage that I appeared in with him, into a massive four hour documentation movie. As he says in his notes on Youtube, at https://youtu.be/TiCYlcBm5nM it's mostly unedited, although he did add some very nice graphics to our gig at the Musicians' Club.
Naturally enough, I watched the whole thing, although not in one sitting, and I took notes as to what is happening, so if you don't want to see the whole thing, you can zip around to particular things. It was pretty amazing for me to see this stuff. Some of it I remembered quite clearly. Some I have no recollection of having done things at all. And the most amazing thing is – occasionally the camera zooms into a computer screen to show the software that is being used. Some of the software shots are a complete mystery to me – I have no idea what software that is that I am using.
Musically, most of the live electronic improvisations that I'm doing come from a period when I was very interested in using funny scraps of found object sound – much of which came from the WFMU archives. I also recycled lots of samples from many other pieces. In fact, my whole sample archive, especially the samples with what Pierre Boulez would have called "anecdotal" content, was completely up for grabs in these improvs. I must have had some kind of patch where I had access to a list of samples, and then was able to loop any part of the sample very quickly, as well as having some other kinds of processing available.
Here's a listing of what is going on in each scene, with timings and some comments, made at a distance of 16 years.
0:00-50:00 – This is a rehearsal with tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE. We're exploring material we might want to use in our upcoming gig at the Musician's Club, a late lamented venue in St Kilda. Between about 11 and 13 minutes in, Dirk de Bruyn, film-maker friend and collaborator, drops in. This is very clearly a rehearsal. We're trying things out, seeing what works and what doesn't. If you don't have time to watch everything, but want to get the flavour of what was going on, I recommend from about 40 minutes in.
50:00-1:23:00 – Musicians' Club Gig, April 9, 2000. From 50:00 – 1:05:00 tENT solos on his electronic setup. I come in about 1:05 and we duet until about 1:23:54. I have only the vaguest memories of doing this gig, but seeing the footage (with, as said, some very nice visual effects by tENT), has awakened some memories of doing it.
1:23:54 - 1:32:40 – I was involved in a project of tENT's called the e-magic movie, where five artists shared images and sound files, each of us producing a short video sequence. In this part of the film, I'm showing tENT how I animated the images (using the Fandango screen saver program) and made the sound (in this case, using Coagula), and then showing how I combined the two.
1:32:40 – 1:37:00 - There was a very fun dinner party at choreographer Kate Kaos's house on April 10, 2000. tENT and etta were there with cameras, and the resultant silliness is preserved. I was working with Kate at this time, writing the soundtrack to her dance "5:3:2" which tENT later documented on performance of.
1:37 :00- 1:40:00 - tENT and I dropped in on my friend Malcolm Ellis, visual artist, and tENT documented some of Malcolm's assemblage work, as well as Malcom his self.
1:40:00 - 1:42:00 – From 1999-2002, I would occasionally hold lectures, and presentations of work in my flat, which had a fairly large living room. When this was happening, I called the place the Center for Studies in Experimental Music and Performance. This is a short sequence where we're getting ready for an evening presentation by tENT about his work.
1:42:0-1:43:00 - Dandenong – This took place in the Dandenong Ranges, a state forest, in which there was some forestry work happening. This inspired me to perform Jas H Duke's "Solidarity Explained" poem.
1:43:00-1:58:00 - Malcolm Ellis and I had built a harmonic canon, based on Harry Partch's designs, to be first used in "Lost and Abducted", an opera I wrote in 2000. In this sequence I'm working with the almost completed canon, tuning it up and doing a bit of improvising on it. I also work a bit with my accordion and tuning forks here.
1:58-2:02 tENT got me to play and sing and talk about Waltzing Matilda on accordion and voice. Enough said.
2:02:00-2:05:00 – I start practicing my score for Kate Kaos's 5:3:2 on accordion. I then realize I need tuning forks for it as well.
2:05:00- 2:22:00 In this segment I'm setting up the tuning forks, then doing a complete rehearsal of my score for 5:3:2.
2:22:00-2:27:00 At the Planet Cafe with Tom Fryer on April 25, 2000 – we're setting up for the performance.
2:27:00-2:59 Performance at the Planet Café, April 25, 2000 with Tom Fryer. I have only the vaguest recollection of doing this performance. I seem to remember that I was trying to perform a character who was haranguing the crowd as well as playing samples. 16 years later, the motivation for my harangues escapes me completely. I do remember that at 2:35:00 I start playing with samples of words spoken by sexologist Dr Ruth Westheimer. I think I thought this was funny at the time. The audience seems to think those words are funny as well. At about 2:55:00 it looks like Tom is playing with a transistor radio picking up emf-type broadcasts.
2:59:00-3:06:30 An excerpt from a concert on the Melbourne Composers League series "Elbow Room" where I presented excerpts from two electronic pieces: "Five Tango Permutations" and "Ten Windy Oscillators"
3:06:30-3:16:50 – A performance documentation of Kate Kaos's dance "5:3:2" with me playing accordion and tuning forks. I can't recall if the riffs in the 2nd half of my score are an intentional or inadvertent quote from the John Cage "String Quartet in Four Parts" (1950). As you'll see, Kate's dancers are inside heating duct tubing, making a quite wonderful surreal movement-scape.
3:16:50-3:20:00 A very brief excerpt from a multi-media multi-projector performance at the Planet Café on May 18, 2000. The title of the event was "tantrum." These excerpts are where a couple of video pieces of mine from the 1990s and 1970s are projected simultaneously. The Planet Café no longer exists. It's now a Cider Bar. The Make It Up Club, which began at the Planet Café, moved down the street to the Bar Open, where it still is today.
3:20:00-3:50:00 - This is a video documentation of a collaboration between me and tENT called "Conjuring." This is again from the Make It Up Club at the Planet Café. The idea of the piece is that as tENT speaks, a pitch-to-MIDI converter recognizes various registers of his voice and each different register turns on and off different sample sets. tENT has put various titles in this section which explain what is going on and how things are working at various times. This is one piece that I wish we could have worked a lot more on. I think it had the potential to be magical, although this performance doesn't achieve those heights. Still, this performance is like a good "proof-of-concept."
3:50:00-3:55:00 – For many years I was a member of AXLE, a group devoted to visual poetry in its many manifestations. This is some documentation of one of the meetings, which occurred monthly at Fruscolino's Pizza Café in East Richmond. It's great seeing the members of the group again – Tony Figallo, Lloyd Jones, David Harris, Pete Murphy, Frank and Leonie Osowski, John Zizys, and a couple of others whose names escape me at the moment. At the end of this segment, and the end of the film, I'm showing Alex Selenitsch's wonderful book "Equals" to the camera. Alex, by the way, had a wonderful retrospective this last summer (2015-2016) at the Heide Gallery in Templestowe.
The March 2016 issue of Soundbytesmag.net is out now (www.soundbytesmag.net) and I have three new articles in it.
First of all, in my "Music on Tablets" column, I have a review of Alexander Randon's very fun new app, "Fugue Machine." I'm having a lot of fun with this program.
Then there's an interview with Phil Burk, one of the leading developers of new tools for music technology. Phil is currently working for Google, developing new audio facilities for the Android platform. There's a lot of good information here, and Phil was a real pleasure to interview.
And finally, there's an article about how to use the microtonal facilities in UVI's new Falcon sampler/synthesizer. These facilities are quite comprehensive and versatile, and allow for some very pleasant surprises and mistakes, as well as working quite efficiently in "correct" mode. If you're into microtonality, this is well worth a look.I just posted an mp3 copy of my 8 CD set: "Music for Microtonal Piano Sounds 1992-1998" to Hightail.com, for a friend in the Netherlands. And it occurred to me that as long as it's up there, I might as well let the world know about it. So, for a limited time - until February 9th, you can download the zip file of the mp3 copies of the set for free. Just go to this link, and download away! And if you like what you hear, let me know.

Pastor Wilder shares a message on this friends and family day entitled "Lost in Space" from Proverbs 17:17. Main points are as follows: Evidence More…
Seven Pillars of the Church
-Liberality and Generosity–
We believe that God has given to each of us liberally and generously and therefore we should, in turn, be liberal and generous with our time, our talents and our financial resources.
(2 Cor. 8:1-7)
-Skill and Integrity–
We believe that all things pertaining to the Kingdom of God and to the affairs of this life ought to be done with the utmost skill and integrity. Therefore, we will never use our gifts and talents in any way which will deceive or mislead those who look to us for guidance and example.
(Psalms 78:72)
-Continuous Improvement and Continuous Study-
Because the revelations of God are continuous and progressive, we believe that we should continue to grow and improve as a result of continuous study and revelations of God's word.
(Proverbs 4:18)
-Exhortation and Encouragement–
We believe that the principle purpose of each believer is to encourage and exhort one another. Therefore, we will use all of our endeavors to build up and encourage each other.
(Hebrews 3:13)
-Individual Responsibility and Ownership–
We believe that the complete work of redemption is a Sovereign work of God. However, we, as individuals, have a responsibility to act in accordance to the Grace that has been given to us and take ownership of the work that has already been done.
(Phil. 2:12)
-Order and Discipline–
God has commanded that all things be done decently and in order. We, therefore, strive to exercise the highest personal discipline and spiritual order in our lives and services, while still allowing room for spiritual freedom.
(1 Cor. 14:40)
-Kingdom Strong and Community Sensitive–
We believe that every believer should be strong in their faith and the things of the Kingdom of God. We also believe that we should demonstrate that strength through good works in the community.

Recording Projects
The Notivate Singer/Songwriter Programme is a creative music course for children aged 9 – 13 years, in which they write, rehearse, perform and record their own songs. Notivate enables children to express themselves… to explore their feelings… and perhaps try something for the first time. It offers children the chance to feel better about themselves and is about music, but is more about "me".
The programme consists of six fun, practical sessions, that encourage children to realise their creative potential and expand their emotional awareness. Based on six years' experience of working with over 1000 children, Notivate is designed to increase self-esteem, willingness to take creative risks and confidence to learn.
"The whole project was a resounding success." (Head Teacher)
"We have been so impressed with the whole package." (SENCo)
"Very successful in captivating and motivating the children." (Children's Fund)
"Brilliantly fantastico!" (Pupil)
Children are commissioned to write, rehearse, perform and record their own songs. All participants receive a workbook, a specially prepared backing track CDs and spend the day in the recording studio. The final session is a celebration of the participants' achievements, at which each child receives a certificate and CD of their work.
The process of writing, rehearsing, performing and recording a song encompasses many musical and non-musical aspects of the school curriculum. With the addition of a few carefully selected activities to enrich this process, children have the chance to exploit not only its educational, but also its therapeutic benefits, including increased self-esteem, willingness to take creative risks and confidence to learn.
If you are interested in holding a educational project at The Stables please use the learning enquiry form to contact us.

So it's officially author's week here at Quanie Talks Writing! Yesterday I helped celebrate the cover reveal for Melissa Maygrove's debut novel, Come Back, and today, I'm celebrating the release of the short story, Graduation Day, by author Dahlia Savage.
Graduation Day is about a newly single college graduate. If you've ever pined (even briefly!) over a lost love, I think you'll certainly identify with the main character in this story!
Here's the blurb:
For Kendall Riley, the day of her college graduation is anything but happy, as she is still mourning the recent loss of a relationship gone bad with Mason, her boyfriend of the past three years. However, her roommate, Ameenah and her cousin Reese, come to her side to help her realize the benefits of being smart, attractive, and independent. On the biggest day of her life so far, will Kendall be able to see that the end of her relationship could possibly mark the beginning of a new life as a single woman?
The knock on my bedroom door breaks my train of thought. "I'm almost ready," I call out.
"It's Reese, let me in," my cousin's voice says on the other side. I open it and force a smile.
"Congratulations!" she exclaims, throwing her arms around me.
"Thank you," I say blandly.
"What's going on with you? You should be excited."
"I am." I force another smile. As much as I want my energy to match hers, it's not happening.
Reese's smile fades and she looks at me, her eyes intense. She says, "You never could lie that good. What's up?"
"She's probably going through cell phone withdrawal," Ameenah calls out from her room. "She's been checking that phone for you-know-who all damn morning."
"Mason?" Reese asks, her face scrunching up. "Get the hell out of here. Seriously?"
"I just thought that maybe he'd call to congratulate me," I admit. Funny, my reasoning had sounded good in my head, but now that the words have been spoken, I realize just how foolish I'm being. "I think I deserve that much," I add.
"Well, you deserve a whole lot, but he's not going to do any of it," Reese says.
"Yeah, like a better reason for breaking up with you other than the bullshit excuse he used," Ameenah says, leaning against the doorjamb to my room.
"Did you really think he'd call?" Reese asks.
"I don't know, maybe," I answer. Reese sighs, heavy and loud. The look she gives me, with almond-shaped brown eyes that match my own, says I should know better.
"Let me see if I've got the story in your head right," she says, tossing her purse onto my desk. "He'd call, you two would talk, and he'd realize how stupid he was and ask not only for your forgiveness but for another chance. Because you love him so much and believe that he's seen the error of his ways, you'll take him back. He will then drop everything, drive eight hours through four states and two turnpikes all night long."
"In the rain. Don't forget the severe thunderstorm he'll have to drive through. And because he forgot his umbrella in Detroit, when he shows up, he'll be all soaking wet and shit, like Eriq LaSalle in Coming to America, minus the jheri curl," Ameenah adds.
"Right," Reese says with a snap of her fingers and a light chuckle. "Can't forget that part." She turns back to me. "So he'll drive through tornadoes and hailstorms just to get to you. Then he'll take you in his arms and make hot, passionate love to you for the next seven days. And then you two will go on to live 'ever after' in bliss and harmony. Did I get it right?"
"You two heifers are a couple of smart asses," I say with a roll of my eyes.
Wanna buy the story? It's available now on Amazon! And you can add the book to your TBR list on Goodreads.

First of all, how can you tell if a guy is starring at you when he's wearing sunglasses? This guy rarely looks at me unless he's wearing sunglasses. I've caught him a couple of times during class(when he's not wearing sunglasses) where he'll just blatantly stare at me, but it will be with an emotionless face and it'll feel like he's studying me or trying to look into my eyes (hope that makes sense) I'm the one who ends up breaking the eye contact ...Then other times when we'll be waiting for class to start he'll sometimes have his sunglasses on and I'll look over and his body and head will be in my direction and it feels like he's starring but then again, hence the whole sunglasses question, I can't tell if he's really looking at me or if I'm just wishing he was. When I saw him for the first time, every time I would look at him, he had the same position with his head and body in my direction, but I wasn't sure if I'm just catching him starring off into space, or if he's interested in me at all. And I'd also like to add that he doesn't seem to be shy around people.
What does his staring mean?

The Kzinti (singular Kzin) are a very warlike and bloodthirsty race of felinoid aliens with whom humans fight several brutal interstellar wars. Kzinti tactics are somewhat cat-like in nature, 'Scream and leap' being the primary mode of attack.
Kzinti and Humans have a similar biochemistry which hints the existence of a common ancestor in the remote past.[1]
Kzinti are larger than humans, standing around eight feet (2.4 to 2.8 meters) tall and weighing around 200kgs[1]500 pounds. They have large membrane ears with fur only on the outside of the ear and only about half way up the ear itself, usually appear pink; they can fold back flat against the head for protection during a fight. Their noses are black.
They have a barrel-chested torso with a flexible spine, and large fangs and claws. They stand on two legs like humans (no digitigrade or "backwards-bending" legs), their feet have five toes, their hands end in three fingers and an opposable thumb. Their tails are naked and are similar in appearance to a rat's.
They are covered with a thick coat of long fur (except the ears, the tail, palms and soles[1]) that comes in various combinations of orange, yellow, and black. Though full black coats are rare, and all who have them are taken by the black priests.
Background and history Edit
Kzinti evolved from a plains hunting cat on planet Kzin a slightly colder, drier planet than Earth.
The Kzin civilization was in the midst of its medieval feudal period when the Jotok interstellar merchants looking for mercenaries landed and made stealthy First Contact. The Jotok taught the Kzinti how to use high technology weapons and other devices including spacecraft, only to see them rebel and become from employers/masters into slaves (or meal).
They are the first on-going alien contact that humanity has met within the Known Space universe. The first contact with humanity ends the human golden era of peace.
The Man-Kzin WarsEdit
The Kzinti were the first alien species encountered by Humans, at the same time when they attacked the Earth colony of Wunderland, beginning a series of bloody wars that lasted for 2 centuries.[1]
A total of five additional Man-Kzin wars take place by the time Beowulf Schaeffer commented "The Kzinti aren't really a threat. They'll always attack before they're ready".[2] With decreasingly impressive logistical and technological advantages, each war results in the confiscation or liberation of one or more colony planets by the humans. In this way humanity contacts the Pierin and Kdatlyno, former slave species, and takes over worlds such as Canyon (formerly Warhead) and Fafnir (formerly Shasht). Several of the stories of the Man-Kzin Wars depict the nearest Human colony at Alpha Centauri, called Wunderland.
During wartime, and at other times, Kzinti interrogate humans using a device called the hot needle of inquiry. The ship piloted by Speaker-to-Animals is called the Hot Needle of Inquiry in honor of this torture device.[3]
The Kzin reverses were deliberately engineered by the Pierson's Puppeteers, who lured the Outsiders to We Made It in the first place. The Puppeteers had hoped that the culling of a quarter to a third of the more aggressive members of the Kzinti with every war would result in a more peaceful race, or at least one that was capable of coexisting with other species without trying to kill and eat them at every turn.[4] This shift in Kzin attitudes succeeded spectacularly, although the Kzinti themselves do not think very highly of the changes, nor of the price they paid to achieve them. In fact, a fringe faction of the Kzinti known as the Kdaptists, frustrated with the reversals their race had suffered against humanity, went so far as to adopt the human concept that God had created humanity (not Kzinti) in His image, and that He favors and protects humans over other races.
As the Puppeteers expected, a form of "natural" selection occurred, with the more mindlessly aggressive Kzinti dying in ill-advised wars and the more moderate, intelligent, and cautious Kzinti surviving, presumably to think long and hard about the consequences of starting yet another war. By the time the Kzinti attained the level of sophistication and foresight needed to win against humans, they no longer had the numbers or the drive to do so.
At one point, Louis Wu, while visiting the Kzin homeworld and given access to the Kzinti Patriarch's game preserve, was confronted by a young Kzin and his father. When the youngster asked "Are they good to eat?", Louis Wu responded with a grin (baring of the teeth being a Kzin challenge to battle) and the older Kzin responded "NO". Wu muses that it would be safer for the young Kzin to eat arsenic than a human being.
Part of the reason humanity is such a dangerous enemy is the psychological blind spot the Kzinti have toward human females. Since the Kzinti have bred intelligence out of their own females, an inexperienced Kzin is sometimes careless enough to leave human females to their own devices, usually with fatal results to that particular Kzin. A combat-trained human female is a Hero's worst nightmare. The Kzinti term for any particularly competent human female soldier is "Manrret" (singular) or "Manrretti" (plural), so named out of a sense of gallows humor regarding lethal encounters with same. From the Kzinti point of view a Manrret's stamina, speed, reflexes, pain tolerance, and reasoning capability (enhanced intuition by virtue of increased interconnectedness between the left and right halves of the human female brain) are far superior to a Man's. This gives some Kzin reason for considering each of the genders of humanity to be a separate alien species.
At the end of the last Man-Kzin War, around 2618, Kzin was occupied and disarmed by human armies.
Kzinti society is extremely male-dominated and aggressive[1]. The leader of the race is called the Patriarch, which is a hereditary title.
The Kzin call themselves "Heroes" or the "Heroes Race" and because they believe themselves to be "heroes", their society places a very high value on "acting Heroic" and behaving in a heroic fashion. To Kzin society, "heroic" means being honorable and having integrity. Honor being more important than profit, they don't lie nor bluff and promises are binding, and personal danger is never taken in consideration.[1]
Strakh is a sort of currency or favour system since. For example if the patriarch gets meat from a sellers market stand the seller gains considerable strakh which will bring honour to the seller allowing him to get better customers which leads to more strakh, which gives the seller a higher status within the community.
Once Kzin gained access to Jotoki genetic manipulation technology, they started manipulating themselves in order to bring out the most "heroic" qualities and recede undesired ones. To this end, because females are not valued except as bearers of children, the male-dominated Kzin society bred (most of) their own females into sub-sapience. Kzinti females (s. Kzinrett, pl. Kzinretti) have a vocabulary of less than a hundred word/sounds and primarily instinct-driven behavior, and are treated as chattel by males (s. Kzintosh, pl. Kzintoshi). Kzinti society explains this by stating the Fanged God removed Kzinrrets' souls as punishment for an attempted rebellion against him shortly after he created Kzin. However some tribes, long isolated from the Patriarchy, were spared the genetic modifications and still produce sentient females, as well as certain bloodlines.
Kzintoshi are born without names which they must earn through valorous deeds. They are originally known by their relation to their father when they are kittens. After maturity, they are known by their rank or occupation. A Kzin who has performed a great deed will be granted a partial name by a superior; a further, greater deed earns a full name, the second of which is the family name. Only those Heroes who have earned a full name are allowed to breed.
In rare instances, a sufficiently illustrious accomplishment will earn a nameless one a full name in one fell swoop. An example of the latter is the granting of a full name to Trainer-of-Slaves, who singlehandedly delivered a fully-working hyperdrive to the Patriarchy thus earning the full name Graaf-Nig.[5]
An exception to this rule seems to accrue to the members of the -Riit family, who have held the office of Kzinti Patriarch for uncounted generations. These appear to earn names upon reaching adulthood. However, the heir-apparent to the Riit throne, "Pouncer", does not receive a name until it is earned by deed.[6]
An example of a Kzin's naming transition would be:
- Birth description: Third-Son of Khral-Hrag
- Occupation description: Weapons-Technician
- Partial name: Frep-Technician
- Full name: Frep-Hrag
A small percentage of Kzinti are stunted, and forced into addiction of a drug derived from the lymph of a sthondat. 99% of such Kzinti are driven insane by the process, and the few who survive are left with telepathic ability. Telepaths are tolerated by the warrior class due to the specialized use of their skill, otherwise they endure a low-caste position in society; just above the status of slaves, with the occasional slave being considered of a higher social status. Telepaths rarely, if ever, earn a name, and they aren't legally allowed to breed.
They speak in a hissing language called the Hero's Tongue, which in its written form resembles commas and periods. It is extremely difficult for Humans to learn, however the Kzinti show an affinity to learn alien languages.[1]
Conquered Races Edit
The Kzin were initially introduced in Niven's story "The Warriors" (originally in Worlds of If, 1966) and "The Soft Weapon," (1967), both collected in Neutron Star (1968). A Kzin character, Speaker-to-Animals, subsequently played a major role in Niven's award-winning Ringworld (1970), giving considerably more background of the Kzin and their interactions with human civilizations. Following this, Niven gave permission to several friends to write stories taking place in the time following "The Warriors" but before "The Soft Weapon;" these stories (including a handful by Niven) were collected in a number of volumes of The Man-Kzin Wars, which eventually reached eleven volumes, the first published June 1988.
In other science fiction Edit
Star TrekEdit
The Kzinti also appeared, along with allusions to slavers and stasis boxes, in The Slaver Weapon, an episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series written by Niven, as a proud and carnivorous species. The Slaver Weapon was an adaptation of Niven's story The Soft Weapon. They were incorporated into the Star Fleet Universe where they became a powerful empire known as the Kzinti Hegemony, mortal enemies of that universe's Lyran Star Empire - although it is alluded that the Kzinti and Lyrans share common ancestry, a claim both sides violently reject.
In the Star Trek Logs written by Alan Dean Foster, it has been hinted that the Caitians are an offshoot race of archaic Kzinti (where both genders are intelligent) who have renounced conquest. According to a memory of Lieutenant M'Ress, secondary communications officer in the Star Trek Logs, the Catian and Kzinti languages are similar enough that M'Ress can pass as a Kzin just long enough for her to send off a distress call from a Kzin raiding ship.
The Kzinti reappear in the comic The Wristwatch Plantation, also by Niven (and which included the Bebebebeque from his Draco Tavern stories). Kzin appeared on a star map seen in several episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and a feline stripper from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was referred to backstage as a kzinrret. The name of the Tzenkethi mentioned in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was partially based on the Kzin, and had Star Trek: Enterprise not been cancelled, the Kzinti would have appeared in the fifth season.
The instruction manual for the PC game Star Fleet Command clearly refers to the Kzinti by name in the background story for the rival race, the Lyrans. This race is introduced in Star Fleet Command II: Empires at War by simply changing the Kzinti Hegemony to the Mirak Star League.
Star Fleet Universe (SFU)Edit
Please note that in the Star Fleet Universe, the Kzin/Kzinti distinction between singular and plural is replaced with Kzinti/Kzintis.
The Kzintis in the SFU - who have traits setting them apart (no bat ears, sentient females, Kzinti/Kzintis as singular/plural etc) from the Kzinti of Niven's works - have fought wars with all of their neighbours, the Federation, the Klingon Empire and their perennial nemesis, the Lyran Star Empire, and are long-standing allies - or more accurately, co-belligerents - of the Hydran Kingdom. The Hegemony eventually formed a tentative accord with the Federation and allied with them in the General War, but they have been involved in major wars with the Klingons and Lyrans, such as the Four Powers War and the General War itself, in which a substantial region of their territory was occupied by their Coalition enemies and two full-scale assaults were made on the Kzinti homeworld of Kzintai. Eventually with Federation assistance they forced the Coalition forces from their territory, but after the War ended they were involved in a Civil War as a disgruntled faction - which had been opposed to the Hegemony's ruling Patriarch and sought refuge and developed a power base in the WYN Cluster - launched an attempted coup of the Hegemony itself in the WYN War of Return.
In the fictional variant of the Star Fleet Universe as represented in the games Star Fleet Command II: Empires at War and Star Fleet Command: Orion Pirates from Taldren, the Kzintis were renamed as the Mirak.
Dungeons & DragonsEdit
The fifth anniversary issue of Dragon magazine (#50, June 1981), included an article detailing the Kzinti as a race for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game.
Wing CommanderEdit
The PC game series Wing Commander features a race of anthropomorphic cats very similar to the Kzin called the Kilrathi. In tribute, a scenario in Wing Commander II takes place in the "Niven System".

Government begins on 19th distribution of 900,000 Christmas baskets
SANTO DOMINGO. The administration of Danilo Medina, through the Plan of Social Assistance of the Presidency (PASP), will begin next Friday, 19 December, the distribution of more than 1 million Christmas baskets.
The traditional present which the government gives to families of little resources of the country, implies an investment of RD$1.3 billion, as reported yesterday by the director general of the P ASP, Cesar Prieto. According to his account, the baskets will contain rice, beans, sugar, corn meal, oil, tomato paste, spaghetti, oatmeal, Christmas candies, canned pigeon peas, rum, wine, eggnog, milk and cocoa in powder, seasoning, cassava, grape jelly, coffee, hot dogs, chicken and bread.
The delivery operations, which include 900,000 Christmas baskets and 200,000 reinforced bags (those which do not include alcoholic beverages) will begin on the 19th in the 10 provinces of the southern region; on Saturday in all the provinces of the Cibao, and on Sunday 21 December in the East and part of the National District. On Monday 22 December, the official distribution concludes its routes in Greater Santo Domingo, but, as Prieto explained, from this day on they will continue delivering baskets in the governor's offices and the 23 provincial offices of the Social Plan at the national level. It is not thought that President Medina will take part.
Prieto, who participated in a meeting with the media at the Presidential Palace, told the reporters that the baskets are made up of 90% national products, stressing the purchase of more than 20 million in rice and cassava from small producers. He said that the purchases were made and 25% were from small and medium companies, passing the 20% as established by law, and he estimated that some 12 entities would supply the products.
In the last 2 years the Social Plan has delivered 1,700,000 baskets, with a general cost of RD $2.3 billion.
From August 2012 until 31 October, the Plan distributed 5,702,414 food rations, for a value of RD $2.0 billion, benefiting 28 million persons, given the fact that each ration supplies food for 5 persons.

Goal Setting in the Classroom
10 comments:
They can set any goal that they wish as long as it pertains to school. Some students need literacy goals, some need math goals, some need behavior goals, etc. I work through the process of setting SMART goals with them. This way their goals are measurable and not generic like, "I will read more books this week." Instead they will write, I will finish reading "Copernicus Legacy" by Friday by reading 50 pages every night this week at home. We talk about these goals each week and reflect on them and get better at setting them as the weeks go on. :-)
ReplyDeleteI loooove this! We have been doing goals and like you I found that when the goals were out of sight in their folders, they forgot about them and weren't thinking about them. I love your idea of having one goal per week and using post its that are easy to interchange. Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh the Little Wonders- Replies
Gina, We did not keep track of them last year, but this year I have plans to create a form to keep track of them each week in their data binders. It will just be a basic log of their goals. Thanks for the question.

What type of data do your students keep in their binders?
Delete Check out this blog post on data binders for more information.
Great post! I'll bet students love to interact with this and see how goals are fluid and constantly changing .

Besides the note you should "Use PNP transistors for the top two MOSFETs, and NPN MOSFETs for the bottom two (the ones connected to ground). Otherwise bad stuff could happen," it looks like the schematic would work if only N-channel MOSFETs were used, such that the behavior would be as described in the article.

Why doesn't your home page appear on the first page of search results, even when you query your own name? How do other web pages always appear at the top? What creates these powerful rankings? And how? The first book ever about the science of web page rankings, Google's PageRank and Beyond supplies the answers to these and other questions and more.
The book serves two very different audiences: the curious science reader and the technical computational reader. The chapters build in mathematical sophistication, so that the first five are accessible to the general academic reader. While other chapters are much more mathematical in nature, each one contains something for both audiences. For example, the authors include entertaining asides such as how search engines make money and how the Great Firewall of China influences research.
The book includes an extensive background chapter designed to help readers learn more about the mathematics of search engines, and it contains several MATLAB codes and links to sample web data sets. The philosophy throughout is to encourage readers to experiment with the ideas and algorithms in the text.
Any business seriously interested in improving its rankings in the major search engines can benefit from the clear examples, sample code, and list of resources provided.
"I don't think there are any competitive books in print with the same depth and breadth on the topic of search engine ranking. The content is well-organized and well-written."--Michael Berry, University of Tennessee
"Comprehensive and engagingly written. This book should become an important resource for many audiences: applied mathematicians, search industry professionals, and anyone who wants to learn more about how search engines work."--Jon Kleinberg, Cornell University

"The Parrett Group was amazing to deal with. They always went above the call of duty and were helpful before we listed, durring the sales process and after closing to ensure that we were completely satisfied. Anyone buying or selling a home in The Parrett Group's territory that uses another agent is wasting their time and money."
