So it was almost a week since the last time I wrote anything, but I finally sat down and wrote a scene last night. 1384 words in which my bad guy imagined doing Very Bad Things to my heroine.
It was one of those–Perhaps I should consider a pseudonym– sort of scenes. You know what I'm talking about? I have ever been somewhat secretive about my writing in general, but it's always been more of an issue of overall quality and fear of failure (if no one knows you do something, they can't very well think you're a failure at it, right?) than worry over anyone reading any particular part. But last night I had two clear thoughts about what I wrote:
- Will my quite religious family read this and disown me? and
- Why, once I let myself get rolling with it, was it so much easier to write this sick shit than a love scene between my main characters?
Why indeed.

COVER STORY: An elephant by the trunk?
As the winter winds blow across the UK's high streets early next February, staff at Carphone Warehouse stores nationwide will be putting the final touches to in-store advertising materials announcing the retail chain's audacious foray into a new area.
They will be preparing for the launch of the latest effort to loosen BT's grip on the fixed-line telephone market, as Carphone Warehouse moves into residential telephony for the first time.
Following last week's £90m acquisition of Opal Telecom, a fast-growing business provider of fixed-line telecoms services, Carphone will offer customers the chance to switch their fixed-line service from BT and save up to one-third on the price of calls. Carphone says that while people spend on average £150 to £180 a year on their phone bills, its service will cut this by £50. A brand name for the service will be unveiled nearer the launch.
Competition in its core residential market has not been too much of a worry for BT so far – it has been able to maintain its 73 per cent market share since June 2000 and has effectively seen off competition from the likes of Centrica.
But Carphone believes that there will be a new onslaught against BT as the pace of "Carrier Pre-selection" (CPS) picks up. First introduced in December 2000, under orders from regulator Oftel, CPS enables BT customers to route their local, national, international and other calls through their chosen (and presumably the cheapest) alternative telecoms providers. It replaces the need to dial a code to get into an alternative service, and does away with the need for an auto-dialler which is plugged into the phone socket. So, while paying line rental to BT, customers can use one provider for local calls and another for national or international calls, or can stick with one for all calls.
Any customer buying a mobile from Carphone will be able to give the go-ahead in store to switch from BT to the new service. The store will send through the order and BT will switch the account straight away. Carphone says this means it needs only limited take-up for the system to be profitable, and that it is simplicity itself for customers to change.
One BT insider plays down the significance of CPS: "There is a lot of inertia, people do not often change telecoms provider. We have CPS, which has not taken off significantly. People use it for certain services, but not for all calls."
A BT spokesman even welcomes Carphone's announcement: "We welcome competition, so that's great. It is up to us to make sure that we have products in place that allow us to compete effectively."
Opal has shown that there are plenty of opportunities for expansion at the business end of the fixed-line market, where BT's market share has fallen to just 45 per cent. Founded in 1995, Opal's turnover has increased rapidly, rising from £40.5m in 2000 to £92.3m in 2001, when it made a profit of £3.2m before exceptional items, interest and tax. Opal offers fixed-line voice services to companies, and has 20,000 customers.
Dunstone believes that this strategy can be expanded in two directions to justify the £90m Carphone paid. Not only is he planning to use Opal's 200 sales staff and its technical infrastructure to win residential customers from BT, he also intends to use the acquisition to sell mobile packages to Opal's business customers. There will be further synergies here, as many of Carphone's customers are from the business sector and there are opportunities for cross-selling.
The Opal acquisition has surprised stock market analysts, who see it as betraying a lack of confidence in the mobile market and perhaps throwing in doubt the whole strategy subscribed to by wire-free proponents. Carphone chairman Hans Snook, who as boss of mobile operator Orange articulated that network's belief in a mobile-only future, said last week: "The acquisition is a logical evolution of Carphone Warehouse's strategy and enables us to bring Opal's services to the wide retail market as well as reinforcing its strength with corporate customers."
But WestLB Panmure telecoms analyst John Tysoe says: "It is going to be difficult – I think it is a surprising move. Hans Snook of all people has been a champion of the wire-free world. It surprises me he should now be championing fixed-line."
The experience of the past two years has shaken the confidence of those pushing for a wire-free future. Mobile ownership has quickly reached saturation-point and the future of the market now hangs on its ability to tempt customers with new technology. But even optimists believe it could be a good four or five years before the new generation services really take off.
In the meantime, BT's dominance of fixed-line services must look like easy pickings to small entrepreneurs. BT's huge margins leave plenty of room for price cuts. CPS allows consumers greater choice of telecoms providers. All that is missing is the marketing.

The specifications for the Nervasport des Records were pretty straightforward: the engine would be taken from the assembly line, the body supported by a wooden frame on a standard chassis and the bodywork designed purely with speed in mind.
The aerodynamic design of the car was entrusted to an engineer specialising in the aerodynamics of racing aeroplanes. The resemblance was unmistakeable. The single-seater was shaped like a rocket: a long bonnet, rounded at the front, with a tapered rear… Driven by an eight-cylinder 4,825cc engine, the Nervasport combined power and aerodynamic performance.
On 4 April 1934, the car took to the Montlhéry track as it attempted a 48-hour endurance record. The target record was 6,300 kilometres at an average speed of over 132kph.
Taking it in turns to complete three-hour stints, the four drivers – Roger Quatresous, Louis Fromentin, André Wagner and Georges Berthelon – headed by Auguste Riolfo, the Nervasport des Records ended up covering a massive 8,037km at an average speed of 167.445kph!
The Nervasport crossed the finishing line having broken nine international records and three world records – including the average speed records for 4,000 and 5,000 miles – and thus helped Renault to cement its place in the golden age of motorsport.

Colorimetry and Binocular stability
A carefully chosen tint has been proven to improve reading speeds in people who are thought to be dyslexic. This has been tested against a placebo and found to be significantly advantageous. Intuitive Colourimetry is the process we use to select the correct tint for the correct person. People thought to be dyslexic often show binocular instability at a rate much more common than in the general population. Identifying and managing binocular instability is known as the tracking test.

The Game of Thrones Season 5 Goodies You Didn't Know You Wanted—But Obviously Do
As we all know, there's just over a month to go before Game of Thrones returns to HBO. Lucky for us, season five was released on Blu-ray/Digital HD and DVD today and it's stacked with enough tasty extras to keep you going until season six's premiere on April 24.
Showrunners may be greedy when it comes to information on Jon Snow's death and the future of our favourite characters, but they never fail to deliver on bonus content that gives fans inside access on the show's production and Westeros' history.
When you're done methodically breaking down the season six trailer, move on to exploring the world of Westeros by following our guide to the best bonus content included on the season five Blu-ray and DVD.
1. New Characters/New Locations
With the life expectancy in Westeros being at an all-time low, it's always exciting to have new characters added into the fold. This featurette gives fans an in-depth look into the world of the Sand Snakes in Dorne, the High Sparrow in King's Landing, and the Gods in the House of Black and White. Actual interviews with the new cast members are a nice touch.
2. The Real History behind Game of Thrones
Why spend endless hours on Reddit trying to map Martin's plans for Westeros when you can look at history as a source to draw conclusions. In parts one and two of The Real History behind Game of Thrones, Martin and historians compare similarities of real-life events to those of Thrones. To wit, the Red Wedding, Purple Wedding, and Walk of Shame weren't far off from the real deal.
3. Histories and Lore
Cast members in character dissecting the ancient history of Westeros makes Martin's fantasy sound like a real occurrence in time (maybe it was—see above). If you're lost reading the books or watching the show, this animated extra is for you. You'll be able to put the most obnoxious Throne-head in their place.
4. A Day in the Life
Shooting a show with the production level of Thrones is more complex than the game itself. This bonus feature shows fans the inner workings of the process as the show operates in three different countries over the course of a 24 hour period.
5. The Dance of Dragons
Blu-ray bonus: HBO slipped in a full featurette dedicated to the breakdown of House Targaryen and the slaughter of their relatives in the House Targaryen civil war. There's as much blood and guts as you'd hope for from a family once led by a Mad King. Luckily–or unluckily–the feature's animated and won't turn your stomach into knots, but it will leave you wishing there were more Targaryens to root for.
Bonus goodies also include Anatomy of Mother Mercy, an inside look at filming the final episode of season five; deleted scenes; audio commentaries; and an in-episode guide if you're fancy enough to purchase the Blu-ray.

Want to know what the University of Miami football team might look like in a few years? Turn on the tube Saturday afternoon and flip between ABC and NBC for a pair of High School All-Star games that will pit as many as seven future Hurricanes against some of the best talent in the country.
At 1 p.m. on NBC, the top two defensive recruits in UM's class -- Northwestern defensive tackle Marcus Forston and linebacker Arthur Brown, a standout from Kansas -- will represent the East in the U.S. Army All-American game in San Antonio. Also involved: former Cane commitment and Pompano Ely cornerback Patrick Johnson, who is expected to finally announce his intentions to attend LSU.
At 2 p.m. on ABC, linebackers Ramon Buchanon (Melbourne Palm Bay), quarterback Taylor Cook (Rice, Tex.) and three other Northwestern Bulls -- linebacker Sean Spence, receiver Aldarius Johnson and offensive lineman Brandon Washington will play in the Under Armour All-American Game in Orlando. Other potential Canes to watch include: Booker T. Washington cornerback Brandon Harris and Jacksonville Trinity Christian running back Jamie Harper. My money is on Spence to be the standout in this game. I love this kids' game and I expect him to impress many of you.
- While those guys will play, the long-awaited announcement from Seffner Armwood offensive tackle Matt Patchan is expected to take place between 1 and 5 p.m. tomorrow in Tampa. Patchan, whose father played at The U, is deciding between the hated Gators and the Canes. I've told you for awhile I thought he was headed to Florida. But who knows at this point. We'll find out tomorrow where he ends up.
- I spoke to Marcus Forston briefly tonight about how his week in San Antonio has been going. "I've been kicking ass," Forston told me. "It's been a lot of fun. Arthur [Brown] and I have been chilling, having a good time. I've been trying to convince a few a guys to pick The U. Hopefully it works."
- Speaking of getting guys to join The U, a close friend of mine in the business is convinced Hialeah defensive end/tackle Corey Liuget will end up switching his commitment from Illinois to the Canes before it is all said and done. My friend, who is doing a story on Liuget for FloridaFB.com, told me Liuget told him he's very excited about the possibility of playing next to Forston and on the Canes defense. What's holding Liuget back? His family wants Liuget to leave South Florida and experience something different. I plan to talk to Liuget, who played in an All-Star game here on Friday, on my own in the coming weeks and hope to have him on a future recruiting podcast for you (which will pick up again next week with Larry Blustein and Charles Fishbein).
- As for the early enrollment -- I know many of you keep asking -- I've been told UM will have a record number of early enrollees this spring. On the list of those who have already filed the necessary paperwork to begin classes on January 14th: Forston, Brown, LB Jordan Futch, Spence, DB Joe Wylie, QB Jacory Harris, QB Cannon Smith, FB Patrick Hill, TE John Calhoun, WR Aldarius Johnson and K Jake Wieclaw.
- Now, to my other favorite weekly topic: defensive coordinator. I know the Sporting News has reported a few new names recently -- including Arizona defensive coordinator and former UM defensive backs coach Mark Stoops. I spoke to a few of my UM comrads Friday and asked them to talk about the names circulating. Stoops was received warmly. Current Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong drew mixed reactions. And Jon Tenuta, the former defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, was flat out laughed at. "That guy is not well liked at all," my source told me. "Forget about him."

Hello RLC! What an amazing time it is to be a part of God's family. It was wonderful experiencing and serving our Lord Jesus Christ with you all this past weekend.
Here are a few things I wanted to share with you as we continue in this week and look forward to this coming weekend…
1. No AWANA on Wednesday night. This week there will be no AWANA happening. However, it will return to it's normal schedule beginning next Wednesday night. The women's life group has also been cancelled this week.
2. Jonah's Legacy recap. The Jonah Series was amazing and has already become one of the most talked about series RLC has done this year. If you would like to watch the previous Jonah messages be sure to visit the RLC YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
Never forget:
- The storms in our life are not meant to destroy us but to direct us.
- You're never to far that God cannot hear you. He never gives up on you.
- When we see failure God sees potential.
The legacy of Jonah wasn't that he got everything right in life. The legacy of Jonah is that by the end of chapter four God reveals the true reason behind it all. We see the trees, God sees the forest. When we see with the eyes of God things begin to come into focus.
How can you see others with God Goggles this week?
3. WHY? The new series beginning this week is possibly one of the most important series we will do this year. I've spent way too much time in my life with questions. Maybe you have too. There have been times when my questions have become so loud inside my own head nothing else could be heard. Maybe you're relationship with God has hit a stand still because of the volume some of these questions present. Let's talk about it. I don't think God is intimidated by our questions. He welcomes them. During this series we're going to discuss things like:
- Why Don't I Always Feel the Presence of God?
- Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good people?
- Why Doesn't God Seem Fair?
- I Love God So Why Are Bad Things Happening?
- Why would God Use Me?
This is going to be an awesome series and I'm praying it's also a healing time for many people who have given up on their relationship with God.
4. Church-wide Scavenger Hunt. This is something I'm really excited about. The plans are coming together and we should have more info this coming Sunday. You're going to love it.
5. Baptism. At RLC, we place a high priority on Baptism. When you give your life to Christ, the first act of receiving salvation is between you and God. It's an amazing moment when the Blood of Jesus washes away all your sin and you become a new creation in Christ. (Romans 10:9) Then, it's time to go public. The act of Baptism is your public profession of the inward work Christ has done in your heart. At RLC, we love it and celebrate when someone 'goes public' with their faith. We've been wanting to offer the opportunity to 'go public' for sometime now and finally have the plans finalized. Look forward to hearing more on this exciting opportunity very soon.
6. Summer of Community. As everyone now knows, RLC in the middle of what we are calling the SUMMER OF COMMUNITY. This is where we are focusing on expanding the core of RLC and engaging as many as possible with community building opportunities. Currently we have had a church-wide cookout and are coming up on a church-wide scavenger hunt. In the months of July and August there will be more opportunities to connect with those around you and discover what it's like to truly be a part of the Family of God. Such events like:
– I Love BG Day (church-wide serve day where we serve the city of Bowling Green through community service)
– Family Movie Night (Bring your kids and come to RLC for a family friendly movie with free popcorn and soda)
– Cookout (RLC loves hanging out and cooking out. Look for another RLC cookout this August)
– Cooking Competition
There are so many great things being added all the time to make this SUMMER OF COMMUNITY something to remember. Be sure to check the RLC WEBSITE SOC PAGE for all updates. You can also check the RLC FACEBOOK PAGE and TWITTER PAGE for additional info.
7. LifeGroups this Fall. If you would like to be a part of the RLC LifeGroup Leaders this Fall let us know. It's not too late to be a life group leader. Click here to contact the RLC TEAM.
That's it for today.
Can't wait to see you all this week and worship the Lord together.
You're awesome!

9th Circuit: Marilyn Monroe's Estate Forfeits Publicity Rights Due to Tax Planning
Milton H. Greene Archives, Inc. v. Marilyn Monroe LLC, No. 08-56471 (9th Cir. Aug. 30, 2012):
An enduring American celebrity, Marilyn Monroe continues to inspire both admiration and litigation a half-century after her death. At issue is whether appellants inherited a right of publicity, which was created and deemed posthumous by the states of California and Indiana decades after her death, through a residual clause in her Last Will and Testament. The will was subject to probate in the state of New York, which does not recognize a posthumous right of publicity. The issue of appellants' rights turns on whether Monroe was domiciled in California or New York at the time of her death. We conclude that because Monroe's executors consistently represented during the probate proceedings and elsewhere that she was domiciled in New York at her death to avoid payment of California estate taxes, among other things, appellants are judicially estopped from asserting California's posthumous right of publicity. We therefore affirm the district court's order so holding. ...
Because Monroe died domiciled in New York, New York law applies to the question of whether Monroe LLC has the right to enforce Monroe's posthumous right of publicity. Because no such right exists under New York law, Monroe LLC did not inherit it through the residual clause of Monroe's will, and cannot enforce it against Milton Greene or others similarly situated. We observe that the lengthy dispute over the exploitation of Marilyn Monroe's persona has ended in exactly the way that Monroe herself predicted more that fifty years ago: "I knew I belonged to the Public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

So the next goal is to complete two pages of this design. I'm only about 2000 stitches away so I'm hoping to have it done in the next couple of weeks.
Here's the stats. Since I last worked on this I've completed 880 stitches and in total I've completed 13,384 of 26,775 which is actually only 49.99% complete but I've only got to do 4 stitches to make it 50%!!

If you are like a lot of people, fitness is not very easy. It is hard to begin a routine when you don't know how to start. You need to learn more about fitness. The following advice will show you how to start becoming more fit right away.
Walking is great for getting fit. Walking heel to toe starts that involves pushing your heels first and toes last can boost your calves' efforts. With arms bent at the elbows, swing them gently to tone this body area at the same time.
Do you not have a lot of time for working out? Do two shorter workouts instead of one long one. You don't have to make the workout longer, just split it. You can jog for half an hour when you get up and half an hour when you get home from work instead of running one complete hour. If you would rather not visit your fitness center twice in a single day, you could do one workout at the gym and then do another workout outdoors.
An excellent investment for people who are determined to improve their current level of fitness is a personal trainer. Your personal trainer will give you ideas on what to do to stay with your workout regime. Make sure that a personal trainer is right for you before you hire one.
Start logging all of your physical activity each day. Make sure you keep a diary of your exercises that you are doing. Even purchase a pedometer and track your daily walking. Add this information into your fitness diary. Keeping a written record of fitness activities can help you gauge your progress while working to achieve your goals.
Do exercises you hate in order to get over your hatred for them. You may be inclined to resist doing exercises that you are not great at. Therefore, overcome your weakness in these exercises by continually practicing them in your regular workout.
Try counting backwards instead of forwards when you work out. For example, pick the number of repetitions you want to do and start there. This will help you get a better idea of how many you have left and keep you motivated a lot better than counting up.
Use the tips shared here and get into shape. You may take a while to adjust to a fitter routine, but before long you will see great results and feel healthier. Being fit means that you will be healthier and happier, so get started today!

A juicy conversation with Dennis Rivers
A notable outcome: Thanks to Dennis, I have finally compiled and posted a long-overdue page on questions and inquiry on my co-intelligence website which includes a chapter from Dennis' Geometry of Dialogue book. A focus on inquiry fits his insistence that we are all teachers and learners, all the time, intrinsically -- and that it is worth our effort to become more conscious of the dynamic of that within and among us.
He also shared with me his understanding that we and much else in life are "silent partners" in the success or failure of what happens. Often chaos and order, form and process, show up as silent partners of each other. For example, practice playing scales (a highly structured activity) is a silent partner to the free-wheeling sensibilities of a proficient improvisational jazz musician. A few simple rules and micro-cultural expectations (as well as the personal and cultural baggage people bring into their encounters) are silent partners of the self-organizing Open Space Technology process. A container is a silent partner for all that exists and goes on within it. And, perhaps most importantly of all, mistakes (trial and error) are silent partners of all real competence, learning, and evolution. Therefore it behooves us as co-evolutionaries to make mistakes safer by (a) making amends for our mistakes and (b) forgiving others for their mistakes.
2 comments:
Tom - I completely align with the concept of 'silent partners' in dialogue and forgiveness has been a theme of instruction I have been using (expecially for the recently incarcerated who come out with LOTS of baggage) to bring human beings together. It definitely makes a difference.
But there is another issue to be addressed - there are humans who have no intention of forgiving and who have only one agenda - power. Unless we accept this fact and work with that knowledge, we are deceiving ourselves that dialogue with changes will work.
I come in peace and want others to BE in peace, but I know there are plenty to whom peace is anethma and who thrive on chaos, using it to gain the power they are hungry for. If you haven't read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman," you are missing a vital link to the issue of dialogue.
We haven't e-mailed in awhile but I am still benefitting from many of the exchanges we had during and after Y2K - Annie
- Tom Atlee said...
I agree that there are people at present for whom dialogue is, at best a medium to manipulate for greater power. I also believe that that was even more true decades ago before modern processes were developed. I believe that dialogue is on a developmental curve which will embrace more and more "impossible people" and "impossible problems" as it grows more sophisticated. Of course, I could be wrong. And definitely, in the meantime, we need to be mindful of the limits of our capacity to heal and transform with communication.

Two hundred and eighty-eight hospitalized patients were monitored during and after 317 courses of sodium colistimethate therapy to determine incidence and manifestations of adverse reactions. Adverse renal reactions occurred during 20.2% of colistin utilizations and were generally reversible. Acute tubular necrosis occurred during 1.9% of utilizations, manifestations of colistin neurotoxicity developed during 7.3%. Respiratory insufficiency and apnea were seen in 2.1% of patients. Adverse effects of colistin therapy contributed to the death of 13 (4.5%) patients. Adverse effects of colistin therapy contributed to the death of 13 (4.5%) patients treated with the drug. Sixty-four percent of adverse reactions to colistin became manifest during the first 4 days of therapy, and 95% occurred in patients who received no more than the recommended dose. For any given mean daily dose per pound, reaction rates increased markedly with patient weight. Colistin dosage proportional to the square root of patient weight might avoid the excess reaction rate in heavy patients and produce more effective blood levels in light patients.

ActionTiles tile with TRIGGERcmd bookmark URL
@elnorte13524, that's interesting. I run ActionTiles with Fully Kiosk and I tried to do the same thing and had the same problem - my button opened another browser tab to the bookmark URL that I had to close every time.
I actually posted a suggestion on the ActionTiles forum asking them to add a feature to be able to send an HTTP POST to an API instead of pulling up a URL in a browser tab.
Like this:
@russ nice, thank you! im going to edit my URLs and set that up later today. Thatll work in AT, and thats really what im worried about right now.
Adding the statement at the end works to close the tab, the problem i have now is that Fully will open either into a window within fully but wont close that, a new fully instance, or a chrome tab where it closes that tab but then stays in chrome. I cant get it to just open one chrome tab, close that and go back to fully. I wonder if it would work different if it was the only chrome tab, though, then when it closes the tab it might go back to Fully. Ill have to test that on the tablet when i get home, i have 30 tabs open on my phone that i (might) come back to, so i cant test it until i get home. Did you make any changes to Fully for it to work within Fully to open the tab, run the command and close it to go back where you were in Fully?
Another question - is it possible to edit the .groovy to make the TriggerCMD switches into buttons? It would make for a cleaner look if they were momentary button tiles instead of toggle switches. Right now half of them are on, which on an AT panel just looks weird to me, showing 3 playlists as "on".
im still working with the bookmark URL in an AT shortcut, i just havent gotten it working right to open then close the window in fully.
@elnorte13524 yes, it's possible to change the groovy code if you don't mind having all virtual switches auto toggle back off as soon as you toggle them on. The older groovy code used to do that before I added parameter support.
Remove the // in front of the off() in the device handler in this section:
// handle commands def on() { log.debug "Executing 'on'" sendEvent(name:"switch",value:on) parent.on(this) // off() }
Also, remove all lines inside this off(childDevice) function except the debugOut line:
def off(childDevice) { debugOut "Off request from child device" def dni = childDevice.device.deviceNetworkId //Russ def Params = [ token: "${atomicState.token}", uri: "/api/run/triggerByID", body: "trigger=${dni}¶ms=off" ] apiPost(Params) { response -> debugOut "OFF result: ${response.data}" } }
I think a better solution would be to make the virtual switch toggle itself off immediately only if the command doesn't have parameters turned on. I would need to add some code to the server side to accomplish that.
elnorte13524 last edited by elnorte13524
@russ ok cool. so the device handler would look like:
**// handle commands
def on() {
log.debug "Executing 'on'"
And the then this is also the device handler? Would look like this:
def off(childDevice) {
debugOut "Off request from child device"
is that what you meant? Making them momentary buttons would make it work much better in AT for me. I wouldnt need them to be links and try to close the page, i could just use them as a button to run the command on the computer. Thanks again for the help!
apologies for the weird formatting, i cant figure out how to correct it so it looks like code, the way you did in your comment
@elnorte13524 actually that off(childDevice) function is at the end of the Smartapp code, not the device handler code.
Also I see that Action Tiles developers are going to create a way to call an API so you won't have to use SmartThings.
Also to make your text show up as code you have to indent it at least four spaces.
maybe ill leave it alone until i can use it directly from Action Tiles with the API. i tried to edit the code but broke it all, so i had to paste the original code and itll be work how it is. Thanks for the help, though, this is an awesome app.
djmalcom last edited by
Bringing this back up. Is there a way to totally remove the state of the virtual switch? I am doing speaker/amp commands and it would be nice to just have them not there.
@djmalcom, I used to have the SmartThings code immediately turn the switch back on every time you turn it off, so effectively it's always on. I left the line that did that remarked out. Just un-remark (remove the //) that off() line.
// handle commands def on() { log.debug "Executing 'on'" sendEvent(name:"switch",value:on) parent.on(this) // off() }

So, apparently the New York Fashion Week is not just for fashion models, but also for new cars. This past week, Kia debuted the eight passenger Telluride.
Rugged Look
Although we do not know a whole lot about the Kia Telluride, we do know the potential this has. From the concept vehicle shown at Fashion Week, It is pretty decked out with off road goodies. With a safari ladder on the back and a snorkel for deep water expeditions.
Tech Filled Interior
But the interior is not limited to off road styling. From what we can see from the released photos, it looks like the Telluride is going to feature a massive touch screen, stylish leather wrapped dash and accents.
Potential Powerplant
Now for the power train, there's very little that is known. If we look at the recent Kia Stinger, hopefully we will see an 8 passenger twin turbo V6. Although we do not have a lot of information at the moment, We are expecting more at the official announcement of the Telluride at the Detroit Auto Show is January.

Paper-back nearly ready!
So as you may have gathered from my lovely poem yesterday I have had the flu this week. It's been a shocker.
I was at lunch last Friday for a friend's birthday. We were sitting overlooking beautiful Dee Why beach and a pair dolphins were having a lovely play out there in front of us. It was magic. My friend grabbed my hand and said "My what warm hands you have!" (yes just like in Red Riding Hood (ok maybe I shouldn't have watched all those episodes of Once Upon a Time while I had a fever). To which I replied, "I must have something. I never have warm hands." (I'm known for always being cold and my appalling circulation...well, in my own family I am).
Saturday I didn't feel great and by the time I stood in the cafeteria for an hour and a half at my daughter's band recital I really felt bad. (It could have been hearing one too many versions of Power Rock by a beginner band that tipped me over). Sunday, I didn't feel at all well but I went to lunch with my family because everyone was stir crazy. I was in bed by 3pm and pretty much stayed there since...obviously watching Once Upon a Time among other things. Well I did get up a few times but every time it was a bad idea and I headed back as quicly as I could.
Anyway, the result was I didn't get any work done much for my real job or my books. So the paperback version of Mr Right and Other Mongrels that I hoped would be up by my July 31 deadline is running a few days behind.
It has a great looking cover...just a minor twist on the e-book version and it will look fabulous. So if you've been asking and waiting not long to go and I do apologise for the delay.
Win a copy!!
Don't forget if you want to win a paperback copy fill in the form here on the front page to be in the running.

Roadways have long played a vital role in development, connecting people and places, while providing both social and economic benefits. Paved roads changed the way Americans lived, by enabling people to live at a distance from their jobs and moving goods to markets further and further from their original source. Where the roads went, amenities came, drawing service stations and lodging for travelers, and expanding communities along popular routes. Today, there are over 4 million miles of public roads crisscrossing the United States.
While roadways are an important part of community development and quality of life, the construction and maintenance of roads can have environmental drawbacks. The greatest, most obvious effect is the large amount of land taken up for roadway construction and use. The movement of dirt and the removal of trees, along with other disruptive activities, take a heavy toll on the landscape. Increases in flooding and soil erosion may also occur as new drainage patterns constructed for roadways alter the natural flow of surface water. In addition, road development blocks corridors in which animals travel to access feeding, breeding, and birthing grounds. This habitat fragmentation and loss can impede migration or cause an increase in animal mortality resulting in the weakening or disappearance of an animal species.
Despite the drawbacks, there are some environmental benefits to road building. Roadways channel traffic onto a single route, reducing the helter-skelter development of trails across open expanses. Highways also allow higher rates of travel for people and commerce using smaller and more efficient engines with lesser exhaust pollutants. These benefits, along with the social and economic benefits, are constantly weighed against the environmental costs as communities work to balance the tradeoffs inherent in road-building, design, and maintenance.
Over the past few decades, an increasing number of agencies and organizations are working to implement efforts that alleviate the negative effects. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 requires transportation agencies to examine potential social and environmental impacts when considering proposed projects. Other regulations focus on streamlining project planning in order to eliminate waste, duplicative efforts, and standardize the processes for project approvals. Environmental stewardship has also been included in the streamlining goals. Public/private initiatives, such as the 2002 Green Highways Partnership, for example, were instituted with the aim of creating a more sustainable transportation infrastructure.

Through articles, images, and commentaries, this June 2006 special online report from Forbes Magazine explores what can be done with a once grand system that is, according to editors Robert Malone and David Andelman, overtaxed, under repaired, and failing to meet the nation's needs.
Laws & Treaties
Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956: Creating the Interstate System

Inviting Students to Learn: 100 Tips for Talking Effectively with Your Students
Jenny Edwards
About the Author | Comments
About This Book
We can all remember how great we felt when our favorite teacher praised us for a job well done or a good instructor encouraged us during a tough assignment. We were eager to go the extra mile for these teachers because we knew they believed in us and supported our success. In Inviting Students to Learn, Jenny Edwards shows us how to re-create that same enthusiasm with our own students by choosing our words carefully and creating learning environments that motivate students to be eager to learn and ready to succeed.
Edwards provides 100 practical tips for making subtle yet powerful changes in our conversations with students—from how we ask students to do something as simple as turning in their homework on time to how we inspire them to set big goals for the entire school year. Edwards provides suggestions that will help us
Inviting Students to Learn also contains tips for interacting with parents, reaching out to diverse student groups, and using technology to efficiently communicate with students.
Edwards shows us that as we begin to shift our everyday conversations with students, we can boost their self-esteem, improve their knowledge, and increase their desire and willingness to work successfully toward their goals.

It's time for some tough love folks. The sad fact is that the economy sucks and there's nothing we can do about it within the confines of our current political system – it's rigged. Unemployment will continue to hover around 10 percent for years, with real unemployment at closer to 20 percent. Wages will continue… Read more »

Bob Herbert: The Great Recession 'A Different Creature'
Anybody can tell you this, but it's clear that the current economy recession is not just a normal economic downturn. For many Americans, this is a depression. All told, the US is down 11 million jobs and the deficit hawks are circling above hoping to prevent any real recovery. Why? Who knows. According to Bob… Read more »
Bob Herbert: The Wild Card
When you factor in the explosive costs of health care, which are making American businesses less competitive and threatening to bankrupt the government, the case for reform would seem to be a slam dunk.

I went 3-1 with this tonight, it plays close to the Mighty Quinn but no snow engine and splashes black. Beat miracles, rb reanimator, and dredge. Lost a close g3 vs grixis delver...had 5 turns to draw a land to win but didnt . Thoughts?
4 leyline of the void
2 Rest In Peace
4 helm of obedience
3 enlightened tutor
1 runed halo
1 oblivion ring
1 porphyry nodes
2 humility
2 ensnaring bridge
4 bitterblossom
1 contamination
1 elspeth
1 mobilization
4 swords to plowshares
4 cabal therapy
3 collective brutality
7 swamp
7 plains
3 marsh flats
1 godless shrine
3 verdant catacombs
2 ancient tomb
2 phyrexian revoker
2 spirit of the labyrinth
2 abyssal persecutor
2 oblivion ring
1 aegis of honor
1 leyline of sanctity
1 porphyry nodes
1 trinisphere
1 ethersworn canonist
1 engineered plague
1 loxodon Warhammer
Aren't 6 GY-exile effects a bit much? I would play 4 Leylines and keep it at that. You can always hardcast them later. I would also include more duallands (either Shrine of Scrulands, depending on your budget) because 1 isn't much. Maybe some Hymns? Instead of the Collective Brutality? Life gaining isn't that important, you have enough removal with Swords and Bridge and Hymn is better at discarding.
Haven't played legacy in a while...dusting this off tonight but with dark ritual. It's the best trinisphere deck that can win turn one .
4 leyline of the void
1 Rest In Peace

2 ensnaring bridge

2 pyrexian arena
2 isochron scepter
4 swords to plowshares
4 orim's chant
4 collective brutality
4 swamp
5 plains
3 marsh flats
1 godless shrine
3 verdant catacombs
2 windswept heath
4 ancient tomb
4 cabal therapy
3 abyssal persecutor
1 aegis of honor
3 trinisphere
1 ethersworn canonist
4 engineered plague
Reminds me of the black splash parfait I ran for a bit. So with that in mind I would suggest blind obedience as it slows down decks and provides a win condition thats also useful outside of endgames.
The Parfait Meta-Game
Interesting. I have a black/white Helm deck built too. Instead of a token theme, it's planeswalkers. Too bad Leyline of the Meek is too janky.
Atm it's 3 Liliana, the Last Hope, 2 Liliana of the Veil, 1 Karn Scion of Urza, 1 Kaya, Ghost Assassin and 1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar.
Did a couple of top 8 at my local. Will be trying the new Kaya when she's out. I like at least 1 Rest in Peace main. I run 2 atm. Lol, you can't always get Leyline in your opener so to have a cheaper option to get is nice.
For your list, I'd suggest either phyrexian arena or Dark Confidant. I run Bob in my list and even though I run the high risk of hitting a 4, it's worth it.
List is on there.
Going to add another Chrome Mox and an Ancient Tomb to the list. And adding an Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Taking out the wastelands and the Concealed Courtyard.
And when new Kaya comes out, I'll be adding 2 and taking out the old Kaya and the Gideon.

Saturday, October 14th saw the Niagara Knights men's soccer program squared off against the St. Clair Saints in a battle for second place in the OCAA west division. In this divisional matchup that saw the Saints receive 8 cards (7 yellow and 1 red), both programs battled to a very physical 2-2 draw.
With goalkeeper Sam Robson Injured, the Knights' rookie keeper Nolan Bradshaw (Niagara Falls, Ont.) made his OCAA debut Saturday night. The rookie played admirably with some crucial saves that kept the Knights in contention for the win.
The Knight drew first blood in the 7th minute when 3rd year striker Carlos Williams (St. Catharines, Ont.) redirected a cross from midfielder Connor Diacur (St. Catharines, Ont) to make it 1-0. Five minutes later, Williams tapped in a strike from Diacur to extend the lead two. Fourth year midfielder Jordi Amores (Niagara Falls, Ont.) had a crucial role on the two goals, finding Diacur in the open field on both occasions. However, the Saints were quick to respond with their own tallies in the 23rd and 41st minutes to even the game at two.
The Knights' best chance in the second half was a Jordi Amores' free kick at the top of the box that saw the Saints' keeper Shane Beaton (Windsor, Ont.) make a great diving save. This free kick came off a blown call that saw Carlos Williams pulled down from behind on a break away.
When asked about the first half tallies, head coach Frank DeChellis congratulated the trio on their performances Saturday afternoon. "Connor, Jordi and Carlos combining for those two goals were good moments for our group. Jordi and Carlos have deep soccer pedigree and are very polished players, but Connor brings a level of energy that disrupts our opponents." The Knights will look to the trio for some offensive magic heading into their games Wednesday (against Redeemer) and Sunday (divisional crossover).
DeChellis was also quick to praise the performances of defenders Andrew Currie (Woodstock, Ont.) and Anu Makinwa (Brampton, Ont.). "I have to give Andrew Currie and Anu Makinwa shout outs at wide defender. The way they shut down the flanks makes life a bit easier for our team. I will be disappointed if they are not recognized in OCAA all star voting." These two players must continue to play shutdown defense if the Knights hope to find success this late in the season.
The Knights will be back in action as they host the Redeemer Royals Wednesday, October 18th in the last game of the season. Kick off is 6pm at Youngs Sportsplex in Welland
