This post was written by Joanna Moore.
It was a few days before the end of the year and I was finally sitting down to do my annual review. At last, it was time to grab hold of the tangle of dreams in my head and to tease each out into a concrete goal for 2015.
I'd been thinking about these projects for ages and I knew that 2015 was going to be the most fun year ever. It would just be a case of waking up a bit earlier, squeezing this project in here and that project in there, and cutting down on procrastination. I wasn't 100% sure how it was all going to work but nothing could wipe the smile off my face. I was excited!
Except, we're just over a week into 2015 and my list of goals is already starting to feel overwhelming. Is there really enough time in my life for all of those projects? Am I deluded for thinking I can turn that novel draft into something other people might want to read? Shouldn't I try to finish my existing projects before I take on new ones?
Does this sound familiar? Did you start 2015 with a bunch of exciting goals? Are you now starting to waver?
Where We Go Wrong when Setting Goals
When we set New Year's resolutions, we tend to focus on the practical side of things. Where will I find the time to work on my novel? What should I call my new business? How will I fund my trip to Australia?
But, more often that not, when we fail to achieve our goals, it's not because of how well equipped we are practically; it's because of how prepared we are mentally.
In general, it's what goes on in our heads that prevents us from realizing our dreams. We get distracted by new ideas. We convince ourselves we'll never make it. We get scared of success. We compare ourselves to other people. We let our friends talk us out of doing the hard work.
If we're going to achieve our goals this year, we need to get our heads in the right place. We're going to need to equip ourselves with two things: support and accountability.
The Best Support System for Multipotentialites
Luckily for us multipotentialites, while we might not have the best in-built ability to follow through on our goals, we do have one of the best communities out there for helping us to achieve them: the Puttytribe.
In the few years that I've been a member, the Puttytribe has helped me go from a person with a bunch of "would like to dos" to a person who has done a bunch of stuff.
When I was starting out as a freelance graphic designer, I saw that other people in the Puttytribe were bartering and exchanging their services. Seeing that gave me the confidence to offer my design skills too. It wasn't long before I landed my first guinea pig clients.
When I started my first blog, the puttypeep helped me nail my theme and come up with a tagline. At the time, I had no idea what I was doing, but everyone was so encouraging and helpful with their feedback. With their encouragement, I threw myself into my project, not stopping to feel self-conscious about my lack of experience.
When I started my second blog and I was panicking about not being an expert on my topic, members of the Tribe reassured me that I had something to offer. Oh and I also got some free business coaching from a fellow puttypeep. Again, I stopped worrying and focused on moving forward.
If it weren't for the Puttytribe, I don't think I would have launched any of my blogs, gotten any of the jobs I have today, or "met" many of the interesting people from all over the world that I now call my friends.
Why You should Join the Tribe
We're opening the Puttytribe doors at midnight tonight, and here are a few reasons that you should consider joining:
While some of the thing I've gotten from the Puttytribe have been more tangible (things like coaching and feedback on my ideas), the main thing I've gotten out of being in the Tribe is support.
When you bring together a load of naturally curious, ambitious, and misunderstood individuals, what you get is an extremely welcoming group of people who are excited to help you achieve your goals. There is no more enthusiastic and understanding group of people than the puttypeep.
Whether you're trying to think of a name for your new Renaissance Business, you feel like you've outgrown your job, or you're wondering where to find the supplies for your latest hobby, any request for help posted in the Puttytribe forums is met with enthusiastic responses from loads of puttypeep who just get it.
The Puttytribe is also great for accountability. Huddles – group calls – are the best place to get accountability within the Tribe. Each person takes a turn talking about a problem or obstacle they're facing and everyone else pitches in to help them with it. At the end of a huddle, you set yourself a small action step to get yourself moving again.
The Goals and Accountability sub-forum is another great place to get some accountability. Many puttypeep have their own threads in there, where they log their small wins, long-term goal progress, or daily achievements. Just knowing that other people can see how you're doing and having them cheer you on is often all the motivation you need to keep going.
Get Yourself a Support System
If you're determined to stick to your goals this year, don't rely on inspiration alone. Get yourself set up with a support system and some accountability, so that when you find your interest wavering, other people will be there to keep you going.
The Puttytribe doors will be open on Tuesday, January 13, for 24 hours only (we do this so as to not overwhelm our members with new faces popping in all month long). If you want to achieve your goals this year and you're not sure you'll get there alone, come and join the rest of us! I hope to see you in there!
Your Turn
What support systems do you have in place to help you achieve your goals this year? How are you going to make sure you follow through?

Missouri AG Supports Prescription Cold Medicine Bill
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster says he hopes lawmakers will approve legislation to require a prescription for cold and allergy medications that contain an
ingredient used to make methamphetamine.
Last year, state House members narrowly approved legislation that would have required a prescription to buy hard tablet medicines with pseudoephedrine, which also can be used to produce meth. The proposal ultimately did not pass.
Koster told Missouri sheriffs he is pleased by progress in several communities that have approved local ordinances to require a prescription for medications with pseudoephedrine and that he
hopes lawmakers will pass legislation next year.
Critics contend that requiring a prescription for the medications would burdens consumers who are seeking relief from colds and allergies.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'News' started by dpeilow, Nov 21, 2009.
Tesla coming to Boston auto show, 8 other brands call quits - Boston Overdrive - Boston.com
Is this the first mention of a Boston store?
Not really. It's been mentioned as an eventual location for a while. Just no concrete time frame or any specific location yet. I think they should put the store in Cambridge.
Any update on a Boston showroom????
You could try calling their "contact":
Tesla Boston | Tesla Store Locations | Tesla Motors
I've met Don before and talked to him on the phone but he rarely answers my email.
I must go right to his SPAM folder.
I've got a pretty good relationship with a number of Tesla folks (including Don) ... and while I know they see a Boston store as very important, there's no solid date for a store yet. I imagine there'll at least be one for the Model S launch but that's my personal opinion.

Somehow, somewhere I got on
the email list for the Thomas More Law Center, which describes its
mission as "Defending the religious freedom of Christians, restoring
time honored family values, and protecting the sanctity of human life".
I generally don't read messages that have been
forwarded to me, unless they are from Kirk Kramer, who always sends
something interesting, but recently when scanning my email I noticed a
Thomas More Center message about a Lt Col Chessani. I vaguely recalled
the name in association with the alleged American atrocity at Haditha
in Iraq, where 24 civilians were killed by marines.
I read that message and was surprised to see that the Thomas More Law Center had come to Col Chessani's defense.
am puzzled by this. In a war that has been called unjust by two
successive popes, and in an age that the same two popes have suggested
has rendered all war unjust, why is a Catholic legal foundation
defending a man accused of complicity in war crimes?
is accused of failing to investigate the incident, and his defense
indicates that the killing of civilians is so unremarkable that he saw
no need report it.
Indeed, I have read two books by Iraq war veterans, The Last True Story I Will Ever Tell, by John Crawford, and The Deserter's Tale, by Joshua Key, who deserted the Army after a tour of Iraq, that suggest that American war crimes are a commonplace.
it would be remarkable if they are not: urban insurgency is perhaps the
only type of warfare that is more stressful than the rural insurgency
this nation faced in Vietnam. Soldiers are daily faced with the threat
of death, delivered anonymously by an enemy that fades into the
civilian population of which he is a part. The stress must be
unbelievable, and according to Mr Key, who participated in it until his
conscience awoke, troops express this in brutality to the civilian
However sympathetic we may be to
soldiers in such a situation, it does not excuse this brutality and it
ought not diminish our sympathy for its innocent victims.
Surely a putatively Catholic legal center is betraying its mission in defending an accused war criminal.
hint at why this has come to pass may be found in the logo they chose
for their website: a giant American eagle against the background of a
giant American flag.
Apparently, like so many right wing Catholics, their Catholic identity has been absorbed in their nationalism.

I couldn't get into Miss Peregrine, I am considering giving Scorpio Races a try, I own Across the Universe (so, someday!), I haven't read much Sarah Dessen (I should remedy that), and I am not sure why I missed Abandon!

Hey yall...just got my art morrison street/strip coil and shock setup in the mail.
It is basically a coil-over set-up only the springs are not adjustable by a spanner nut....like the CE setup.
Everything is really high quality...they came with 3 way adjustable gabriel shocks, springs of any specified weight, zinc plated brackets, gussets...the whole nine yards...all you have to do is weld em on.
The rear housing brackets are very heavy...maybe .250 thick.
The shocks are adjustable for rebound speed...so I assume theyre adjustable from 50/50, 30/70, or 10/90.
When put together the setup is adjustable for ride height and over all is about 14" tall. The housing brackets have more adjustment holes for ride height than most other brackets do too.
Eveything supplied with the kit was just as I had specified and the sales person was very friendly and intelligent.
They sent me a catalog with the stuff too(always a plus). Shipping took about 4 days and was very fast for the price...more than I can say for other companies with inflated shipping rates.
The whole kit was VERY affordable...about $180 to my door...compared to a competition engineering kit that was $240 before shipping...and no springs.
Everything is very satisfactory and I will 100% be dealing with them again.
God bless

TeleDart-Animal Identification with Injectable Passive Transponders
A miniature identification chip can protect animals against theft, abuse and loss. For small and big animals, endangered species and zoo animals furthermore it is important to find an identification-method which is not based on earmarks or tattoos. The transponder lodged just below the skin contains an unchangeable code which is unique world wide. While tattoos fade over the years, the code in the transponder cannot be removed, not even by using a magnet.
Minimum risk of infection The danger of infection and the time of the marking-procedure are less than with other methods.
The needle with the pre-positioned transponder can be attached fast and easily to the specially designed injector via a quick-release mechanism, allowing the operator to perform several hundred injections per hour. The special injection technique makes sure that no pressure is applied to the tissue during injection of the transponder. The special double grinding needle opens a canal. The tissue is not perforated. There is a mandrel inside the needle which is supported by the injector and keeps the transponder in position. The needle is retracted and the transponder remains in the puncture canal. The tissue closes immediately. There is only a minor cut of approx. 2.6 mm which heals fast without complications.
Established system Information about the animal is immediately available via database. Organisations such as the C.B.S.G (zoos), CITES (trading with protected species) and the "Haflinger Zuchtverband" are using this system.
Many national and international breeding associations, universities and animal care organisations are also working with this system. Lost or stolen pets can be identified very quickly via reader and via a central data base. In Germany about 300.000 animals go missing every year! The animals marked with the harmless bio-glass-capsules can be identified and returned home.
- totally pain-free application
- no narcotization necessary
- immediate identification of animals is possible
- identified animals can be handed over to the owner
- Identification safety for a whole animal life
- immediate search of all information/data via data base
In our range of products you can find readers, Trovan-Microchips ID 100 and ID 162 as well as injectors and accessories.

Revlon recently had a #DareToWearBlue campaign and sent me a few items challenging me to create a look with blue products including the Revlon PhotoReady Primer + Shadow in Avant Garde and the PhotoReady Kajal Intense Eyeliner and Brightener in Blue Nile. I don't typically wear a lot of coloured eyeshadows and tend to stick to neutral shades, so I decided to combine the blue shades from the Revlon palette with some neural shades from the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette.
To start my eyes I used the shadow primer from the Avant Garde palette, then used Walk Of Shame from the Naked Basics palette over my entire lid and Naked 2 in the crease. I used the darkest blue shade from the Avant Garde palette in the outer most part of my crease and the light blue shade along my lower lash line. I lined the outer third of my upper lash line with the dark blue eyeliner from the double-ended eyeliner in Blue Nile and lined my waterline with the white pencil. I finished my eyes with a couple coats of the Revlon Lash Potion mascara. The end result was a subtle blue look that I ended up really liking.

A Decentralized Financing Approach By Debitum Network
Debitum Network is recognized as an advanced hybrid ecosystem for small to medium business financing, using the Ethereum blockchain based system together with principal and interest moved using fiat. This ecosystem-based on decentralized and dedicated communities collaborating SME borrowers, local and international risk assessors, debt collectors, insurers as well as investors worldwide with interconnected trust-based smart contracts.
The platform purposed to decentralize the financing system. Presently, all levels of the financing process are conducted by one financial institution in a centralized way from the very start to the very end. As a result, such a financier can only work in the local market due to the lack of infrastructure abroad, or otherwise, it becomes very expensive. Furthermore, the inclination of financing is also restricted, ending in only a fraction of SMEs' needs being satisfied.
Debitum Network is a network where participants globally will implement separate steps of the financing process. Associations between business borrowers and lenders are complicated, but they can be standardized and streamlined that's why Debitum develop an Ethereum-based decentralized ecosystem in which operators of the funding market can access their clients innovatively with lower expenses.
How Debitum Network Operates
Operators are businesses or even individuals who either aggregate the demand (investors and lenders), or supply (borrowers), or both. There are also service providers like risk assessors, insurers, debt collectors, provision or collateral valuators, etc. Debitum Network will also operate like an integration medium for several technical solutions which are related to the financing process. While technically, regarding efficacy, Debitum promotes the process of financing, it is an opportunity for professional operators in the financing industry to access the global market with no restrictions.
Debitum aims to build a self-growing network based on trust by consolidating fragmented regional registers of business borrower trustworthiness on the blockchain foundation. Debitum purpose is to grant access to the productive SME capital market for everyone. Today, investments in SME debt are profitable, relatively secure, and yet not simple to get involved into. Debitum Network will take the challenge and solve this problem.
The DEB Token Economy
Debitum network's native currency DEB tokens are primarily utilized by borrowers to pay for services rendered by the ecosystem members during the financing process, e.g., for validation of loan application or credit risk evaluation. Investors will also use DEB tokens to obtain services on the ecosystem, e.g., to guarantee a loan or portfolio of loans.
Token Utility
A limited amount of DEB tokens was produced during the Token Generation Event (crowdsale round A). No additional minting or mining of the tokens will be possible, which indicates that the token supply is fixed. As Debitum Network develops and incorporates more and more borrowers, investors and services providers of the lending process, the token demand will grow, which, given the fixed supply, will raise its value. In other words, DEB token is devised to increase in value as an activity within Debitum Network grows. Debitum Network model does not permit the burning of tokens in any situation, i.e., it is designed as a pure utility token.
The Team Behind The Success
The founders of Debitum Network, Mārtiņš Libertš, Donatas Juodelis, and Justas Šaltinis, have an exceptional background in both financial and technology sectors. Together, they have already built a successful invoice financing company and IT services and can leverage this experience when developing a lending platform based on the currently most outstanding IT solution, the blockchain technology.
In addition to the core management, Debitum Network has introduced a team of developers and business development managers, who are already accomplishing on the deployment of the platform.
Development and Update
Debitum Network has already raised $1.2 million, adequate for initial product development and launch in the first market. Upon achievement of Crowdsale Round B, Debitum Network will pursue Stage 1 development: setting up the ecosystem in 15 countries across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Balkan region. Stage 2 represents expansion into four major geographical regions outside Europe. Overall, Debitum Network endeavors to establish operations in 50 countries with the worst indicators for access to credit.
On August 23, 2018, European crypto community members and Lithuanian finance professionals assembled to Vilnius Blockchain center to test the efficacy of Debitum Network as an aspiring alternative financing ecosystem.
The Debitum Network founders cleared that they never intend to compete with the traditional centralized banking, but they desire to improve the current financing market with a purpose to promote the growth of small to medium enterprises (SMEs), a sector profoundly dependent on favorable financial assistance.
The event highlighted the Vice Minister of Economy and Innovation of Lithuania, Elijus Čivilis, reiterating the significance of alternative financing and affirming that the SME funding gap is a global dilemma like Lithuania where small enterprises are the central economy drivers and that projects like Debitum Network are critical. Also, the CEO of the Blockchain Center Vilnius Eglė Nemeikštytė stated that Debitum Network does not only demonstrated an excellent example for other startups but also proves a point to the blockchain skeptics.
The new and advanced Debitum Network platform was officially launched on September 3, 2018. Registration is now available for investors, borrowers and service providers.

Ouya, the Android-powered gaming system born out of a Kickstarter project, has taken new measures to attract interest in the platform. Head to the company's website yesterday and you have seen an "Ouya All-Access" option available for $59.99. The pilot subscription service is not unlike Netflix in that it's a pass to play whatever you want over the course of a year. According to Ouya, this deal is worth $2,000 and applies to one-time purchases under $30. With 800 titles and growing, it breaks down to less than 8 cents per game.
After taking the Kickstarter world by storm nearly two years ago, Ouya has struggled to grab a foothold in the gaming industry. Things may only figure to get worse now that Android TV is coming down the road. Toss in some competition from players like Razer and Asus and you've got a soon-to-be crowded market occupied by bigger names.
The All-Access plan was offered for a limited time to new and existing Ouya users. It's unclear if or when Ouya might open the doors up to additional gamers. It's worth noting, however, that you can sign up to be notified when it comes back.

I'm determined to "make friends" with and capitalize on the opportunities which the planetary energy associated with Saturn is offering.
As I've matured, I've learned to appreciate the depth of symbolism which reflects the archetypal nature of the ringed planet.
In some circles, Saturn is considered to be a "malefic", but I think it's important to recognize that there can be a wider context employed when analyzing the planet in its totality. There are definitely two sides to the coin.
While Saturn's energy is associated with delays, limitations, restrictions and sometimes pain- ALL of these can serve us a tremendous teachers.
Situations where staunch discipline is required and we must delay short-term gratification, or even circumstances where we feel hurt can offer us a top notch education. After all, when we learn lessons the hard way, we're much less likely to forget them right away.
Saturn isn't a flashy or glamorous planet by any stretch of the imagination. It's energy takes us to task: it asks that we get down to business, and engage in finding practical solutions to problems without the aid of quick fixes.
In a world filled with short cuts where the mentality of expecting "something for nothing" runs rampant, it's appropriate that Saturn's reputation is met squarely with its share of grumbling. The more I think about it, I realize that society has a collective fear of Saturnine energies because of our aversion of anything that may be remotely difficult. However, when you analyze what the word actually means, it raises more questions as to why we have such a high level of anxiety.
The word difficult is defined as: "needing much effort or skill to accomplish, deal with or understand." Saturn is asking us to actually WORK in order to actualize our aspirations. After all, if we say we want it, shouldn't we be willing to put in the time, sweat, intellectual or physical rigor to obtain our goals?
As far as Saturn's relationship with limitations and delays is concerned, sometimes they're necessary in order to obtain more clarity concerning a person or situation, or better yet, OURSELVES.
It would benefit us all to keep in mind that when it comes to Saturn, we can easily self inflict our pain by attempting to tread the path of least resistance. If we think about our lives more deeply, many of our journeys of self-discovery probably came off the heels of some intensely discomforting circumstances.
I don't mind sharing that Saturn was in the picture (along with Uranus and Pluto) when I was involved in a tumultuous relationship which I viewed to be limiting. Although there was a high level of discomfort, that experience led me toward the deep exploration and study of the dynamics of partnership Astrology. I was also given cosmic instructions from the taskmaster on the importance of embracing solitude and setting healthy boundaries in relationships. What once seemed painful was merely a reorganization in service of restoring personal congruence.
Saturn is associated with many qualities, but integrity and authority are two that loom large. Regarding authority, Saturn symbolizes our internal locus of control, and the values we've worked to discover through time and experience. The breaking of the parental mold, where we firmly place ourselves as the primary manager of our lives.
Integrity isn't only included in the realm of self-honesty, but it also suggests a wholeness or completeness within our psyche. To be undivided. To have our thoughts, words and actions demonstrate consistency.
During a major "Saturn period", we may feel frustrated or "fated", hence the planets reputation as the "lord of Karma". We may feel as if Senex or "Father Time" is "out to get" us. This simply isn't true. For these periods of difficulty are necessary to illicit self-exploration as a means to extract meaning out of our situation. Whether it's a Saturn transit or natal placement, it's purpose is to show us a specific set of experiences that are required for the development of our WHOLE SELF.
I'm thrilled to say that I'm working on my relationship with Saturn, and I appreciate what I'm learning. Although it's not an easy task, my hope is that we'll be friends one day soon, and if there's a delay on that, I have faith that it's all in the name of gaining a higher level of clarity about my life and myself.

Huffington Post republished an article from the New York Times that outlines the impact of austerity on the job market. Deficit-cutting mania has impacted the unemployment rate by as much as 1%. It has also hurt economic growth, which would generate even more jobs. Without taking sides, the article describes inaction by the Republican Party, which has contributed to the current state of the economy. For my part, I would also take the President to task for not doing a better job of communicating the problem to the American people. His willingness to compromise and look for a "Grand Bargain" has made a confusing situation worse. Bottom line: Government action – not deficit reduction – will generate jobs.
Travis Waldron of Think Progress has written a thoughtful piece about tax cuts and their false promise of job creation. States that cut taxes most also had the slowest pace of job growth. Worse still, several of these states want to give more tax cuts and balance them by raising taxes on low and middle income families.
I'm not an economist, but I do know this: If consumers have less money to spend, there will be more job cuts. Austerity and tax cuts do not create jobs.
[On Sunday, this blog explores different aspects of life and work in "Sabbath."]
The Right Kind of Work
Even when English majors studied Victorian literature, few learned the name of William Morris (1834-1896), who was a poet, novelist, essayist, artist, and textile designer. Morris believed that art and design go together. He also believed that most people could bring some kind of art or creativity to their work.
Penguin Books has published a small paperback collection of Morris' essays that is entitled Useful Work Versus Useless Toil. The title essay addresses many concerns that still plague us in 2012. Morris criticizes the rich as doing no work and producing nothing. He says the middle class are little better because they aspire to be like the rich, people who "will not have to work at all." Most people fit in neither of these classes. Their work is drudgery and supports those on the upper levels of society.
What should work be? Morris linked it to the word hope: "hope of rest, hope of product, hope of pleasure." Hope of Rest is what it seems, having time to live outside of work, especially in retirement. Hope of Product is that we can make something of use, something "Nature compels us to work for." Hope of Pleasure focuses on the kind of work that makes the person doing it feel engaged in body and mind. Morris' vision of what work brings is radical beyond anything imagined today: "Surely we ought, one and all of us, to be wealthy, to be well furnished with the good things which our victory over Nature has won for us."
Morris imagined a time when machines would let people enjoy more leisure time. However, he doubted that the current system would let such a revolution take place, since "capital" drove wealth to the upper classes and asked for more work from the lower. Clearly, this critique would make sense to the Occupy protesters in America and their fellow protesters in Greece and Spain, who are asked to endure austerity for debts run up by their governments and the banks they serve. Morris sums the problem up in these words: "For all our crowded towns and bewildering factories are simply the outcome of the profit system."
For Morris, our society will change with our work: "To compel a man to day after day the same task, without any hope of escape or change, means nothing short of turning his life into a prison-torment." This sentence might initial make us think of factory works, the kind that Charlie Chaplin spoofed in Modern Times. But many people we know, white collar workers, face a similar torment of meaningless work in sales, analysis, and service. The workload is unending without any sense of producing a meaningful product.
Would Morris see our time as no better than his? To some degree, I think he would. Too many people work at jobs that give them no pleasure. They work for money. Most of the wealth they produce floats up and away from them. However, there is a trend that I think Morris would cheer: the craft movement. From small farms to craft brewers and coffee roasters to independent shopkeepers and restaurant owners, all are working with the kind of "hope" that Morris advocates. Mass produced products still dominate the market, but it is possible to enjoy and support the work of a craft worker. Too many people still buy Bud at Wal-Mart and eat breakfast (and sometimes lunch and dinner) at McDonalds. Often, it is all they can afford, the outcome of a rigged system. Even so, new options are growing by the day, which gives us hope that someday "useless toil" will give way to "useful work," the kind of work that makes us happy.
Common Dreams reports on recent protests against in the U.S. and Canada. In one instance, Philadelphia is proposing to cut 40% of its public schools. In Canada, fees for university students have seen major increases (82%). The government added insult to injury by passing a law to restrict demonstrations by students. That didn't stop a crowd estimated at 100,000 from protesting. The Philadelphia protest was much smaller, but it was still a sign of working people and the poor fighting back.
Access to education is the only hope the poor and working class have to enter the middle class. Everyone needs to think about how we enact "austerity" in a way that still gives people a chance at a better life. Better still, let's replace austerity with investment.
If we don't do that, democracy is a joke and capitalism is a rigged game.
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich is a great economist. That said, I hope his latest column misses the mark. Reich says the American economy has "stalled." He attributes the problem to cutbacks in government spending, which we have also seen in several European countries. Then Reich digs deeper: "But widening inequality is the underlying culprit here. As long as almost all the gains from economic growth continue to go to the top, the vast middle class doesn't have the purchasing power to boost the economy on its own." This argument makes sense. Still, I hope he's missing something.
Common Dreams reports on the global impact of austerity programs, especially how they are impacting job growth. Citing a recent report by the International Labor Organization, the authors note that countries embracing cost cutting programs have seen the worst job losses (in the U.S., see Wisconsin). They argue that government intervention will do more to spur job growth. I think the scariest news comes at the end of the article when the authors cite the ILO report finding "a downward spiral of wages." Fewer jobs. Workers with less income and security. Who wins this game? The 1%.
Spain's two biggest unions have called for a general strike this Thursday to protest deep cuts the government is making, big cuts ($40 billion) that will hit working people and the poor hardest. According to Katherine Ainger of the Guardian (via Common Dreams), 30% of working people will be joined on the strike by an "invisible" group of the unemployed, many of whom are younger than 30.
What's happening in Spain and other European countries should be a wake up to citizens in the U.S. Austerity only benefits bankers and the investment class. The same people who devised schemes to put working people and the middle class deep into debt are now coming after the government's money, which is our tax money. Rather than taxes going to fund schools and health care, it will be a brighter day for the fat and happy 1%.
Working people need to wake up and stand up. Hopefully, Spain will set a good example this Thursday.
In Greece, workers have responded to government austerity plans with a two day general strike. The country's minimum wage has been cut by 22% and over 150,000 public workers are set to lose their jobs. Who will win? Bankers and their servants in the government.
Belgium firefighters turned their hoses on riot police in protest of an austerity plan that will raise their retirement age. Again, working people pay for the mistakes of politicians and their allies in the financial sector.
Police officers are striking for higher pay in Brazil, a country that does not have to play the austerity game. In this case, workers are using leverage by striking at the beginning of a popular tourist season (carnival) and just two years before the country hosts the World Cup. Criminals, naturally, have been taking advantage of police-free streets, which is forcing the government to call in the military to perform police duties.
Moral of the story: Working people are not happy with the governments that are supposed to represent them but only serve the interest of big money. Faced with low wages and cuts, working people are taking the only action that makes sense – stop working.

Staff Guide
Adding A Character Page
- All character pages should be named 'character:<name>' simply type in the address for the new page in the address bar. It won't be there so hit 'Create Page' and enter any information.
- Add the tag for the character's rank (app, srapp, jman, or master). This will add them to the listing page for their rank.
Character Page Errors
The character page template is setup so that all character pages look the same with the sidebar information. There are a number of lines (====) separating some of the information. This is so that that information can be pulled into other areas of the site (primarily the weaver listings). This is where you will find the most common error with player pages. If something doesn't look right on a character's page check to make sure the ====s are in place.
Retired Characters
When a character retires (is no longer on the grid due to idle nuke or simple retiring of the character) there are two steps that need to be taken.
- Go to the character's page add add the 'retired' tag. This will remove them from all the active listings.
- Go to the Former Characters page and add them to the listing there. (Note: It could be setup to have them auto added to this listing simply by adding the retired tag, however to keep the dragon name on the listing and old characters who were before there was a wiki this has been decided against.)

They say that "You don't have a right to the cards you believe you should've been dealt, but you do have an obligation to play the hell out of the ones you are holding."
Earlier this year I came to a bit of a crossroads, it was time to think about options and about what's next. I started brainstorming, asking myself, what is it that I really want? Trying to isolate the ideas that made me light up inside and feel like "that's something I'd be happy to fight for".
I ended up with a few goals, the main one being to go to art school. It was last year that I became fascinated with classical techniques and mediums, charcoal drawing & oil painting. ( I had been working with acrylic paint previously.)
I moved out of my rented studio space to a room in my own apartment, less space is needed with oil paint. I'm fitting in smaller sessions and with the slower drying time this has worked out real well.
My goal is to attend London Fine Art Studio. At this point I can't afford to be there full time, but hope to start with some of their shorter courses. In the meantime I am practicing and still working!
Things are evolving, new opportunities are coming up, blogging here is one of them. 🙂
If you have followed my work, maybe you've seen that along with painting, I've worked with photo art and modelling, all of that I will be writing about here. I'm really excited!
Thanks for following.
This video was filmed in my home studio, so here's a little glimpse of my workspace.
And here are some links to my oil paintings, more to come.
Till next Monday XOXO,
Ester Rose

THE MORE YOU STIR IT THE THICKER IT GETS [Author: Arcadian Del Sol]
Daily Radar has, until further notice, decided to suspend its coverage of Nintendo games and systems. We'll continue to cover big news stories and we're not censoring ourselves, but until an ongoing legal dispute with Nintendo is resolved, this is our safest, simplest option.
This disappoints all of us, readers and writers alike — and frankly, we hope that the matter will be resolved quickly and judiciously so that we can get back to doing what we love — playing and writing about cool new Nintendo games. The current situation has created a great deal more fuss than we'd have liked, but the fact remains, we're in something of a bind, and there's not much we at Daily Radar can do about it — that's up to a bunch of lawyers.
There seems to be a misconception that we, Daily Radar, are doing this to spite Nintendo, ourselves or even our readers. That is simply not the case — this is the clearest way we can think of to deal with the complex nature of the litigation while maintaining our editorial integrity. In truth, this whole situation, for us, is a pain in the posterior that we would like to end as soon as possible. And that is what we're working toward. Until then, please bear with us, and continue to enjoy the site.
Yours Sincerely,
Frank O'Connor
Executive Producer

LUM INTERVIEWS WITH CORPORATION [Author: Arcadian Del Sol]
As most of you regular readers already know, Lum the Mad has recently taken a sabbatical in order to pursue his options in the industry upon which he formerly threw flaming pots of Greek fire. Recently, he was interviewed by the Corporation, and with the assistance of the Master of Espionage, I managed to locate the corporate transcripts of this interview on their website. This might make for some interesting reading.
OUTAGES [Author: myschyf]
As you may have noticed we are having a few problems. The problems stem from the C|Net cutbacks and there isn't much we can do about it until XRgaming signs a new contract with someone else. Once they do sign a new contract there may be some moving pains associated with it. So it looks like we are in for a bumpy ride for the next couple of weeks. Please bear with us. Thanks.
HE'S DEAD, JIM [Author: Savant]
We've heard all the horror stories ranging from just good ol' favoritism to "female specials." Nothing is as important to a game as its customer service, and nothing can damage that fragile system more than an internal breakdown of it. In-game support far surpasses the need for out of game support. It's the front line of customer service, and while it cannot be perfect, there's definitely much needed room for improvement, currently.
It was bad enough when these were just small MUDs with administrators who would play favorites. Hell, many of us who ran MUDs did it ourselves – They were plentiful, they were ours, and we weren't asking for money in return – It was acceptable. The remote GM model for Simutronics was a failure in my eyes: These people were remote, and frankly, had pretty much the same lack of consequences that good ol' grief players did. I was pretty shocked to see the mass-market graphical games adopt this system – it was clear it was not working.
Then we heard about Darwin, and a multitude of other frightening stories. If it wasn't clear when these volunteers would go postal on the day they decided to quit (a week before they decided to sue), I thought it'd be painfully obvious when people you pay that are in the office were just incapable of handling the raw power that is being a GM, or a Host, or a Guide, or whatever you want to call it.
We're human. We're broken.
I've always been fond of the system Microsoft/Turbine have in place for Asheron's Call. Yes, they have volunteers – but they're limited in powers – Very limited. Granted, it leaves a bit lacking when you lose that special twinkie of bunny slaughter, but it's the lesser of the evils. They don't play favorites, because they can't. I like it this way. Does there need to be a middle ground? Without a doubt. As always, I don't have the answer, I just have the question (must be some sort of reaction to having the misnomer of "Savant"): What is a system that will work? I don't know.
What I do know is: I don't want to hear about how some player got her fetapult of +9 wisdom because she "knows" a GM. I don't wanna know how someone's old college buddy got his friends phat lewt. I don't want to hear about how you were fired because didn't know how to take a test so now you want blood, dammit.
It's getting old. The system has failed. People have failed. Kill the damn horse, it's suffering.
ASTONISHING PANORAMA OF THE ENDTIMES [Author: Lietgardis]
Players logging in to Asheron's Call at this time receive the following message:
We are aware of a bug that allows a player to intentionally crash a server. We are working on a fix. PLEASE NOTE: Use of this bug may result in immediate removal from the game.
A review of the boards doesn't reveal any further information, other than that this server crash bug is performed in-game, brings down a server block, and enables easy duping. Some are reporting bans. Some are reporting their duping goes well, and they're leaving packs of valuable and rare equipment all over Dereth. And, surprisingly, the majority of the rest are calling for blood.
It's common sense. If anything deserved a ban, would it not be deliberate disruption of the servers? Duping is just a nice side effect. "AC Team," I think your test is here.
Update, 3:05 CST: New login message. The servers are down in preparation for a hotfix to a bug that allows a player to intentionally crash a server. Please check the State of the Network for continual updates. No ETA
TOUR THE DAOC BETA [Author: myschyf]
Games Domain Review has a kind of interesting tour of the DAOC beta. They go on to do some comparisons between the Camelot version of Britian and 'the way it really was.' There are some nice screen shots. Mad propz to Xilren's Twin for posting it on our boards and thereby bringing it to my attention.
SPECIAL BENEFITS [Author: Buur]
It appears that a small group of players on Terris-Thule got some pretty special treatment from someone at Verant. Special treatment in the form of high level VP and Plane of Air items. You can read the whole thread right here.
All of the problems center around the player of the characters Hathorne (L60 shaman), Langley (L60 magician), and Hath (L60 warrior), all reportedly leveled to 60 in the same manner it is done on the Test Server. This player, who has been described as a "non-paying account", seems to have some special tie with Verant Interactive, perhaps an employee or relative of an employee (he has told his guildmates he is the son of a Verant employee). The problem this player brings to the game environment has been to in some manner, repeatedly, *create* high-level items and introduce them into the game environment. On our server, Venril Sathir has been killed many times. However, we are a social community, and everytime it dies, everyone can easily find out who killed it, what it had, and who got the drops. At the time Hathorne began wearing his pair of JB Greaves, they had only dropped 3 times on the server, and all 3 shamans with them were public knowledge. Now, at this time, Hathorne had also never attended a VS raid with anyone that was successful, and neither has his guild. These greaves did not come from Venril, so where did they come from? Over the winter holdiay, Hathorne mircaulously began wearing a Jaundiced Bone Breastplate, again without ever attending a Trakanon raid. All shaman BPs dropped by Trakanon are well known, and none of them was ever traded or received by Hathorne. In the same manner, his warrior now has a cobalt breastplate, and this weekend, Hath began wielding the warrior epic weapon, even though his guild cannot get to Spiroc Island in PoA, he hasn't been there with any guild on TT that can, and he's never killed the Chardok Queen.
The item creation issue has been strongly contested by many players in the higher level community. To see this player and his group of friends run around in high-level, often VP or PoA equipment, is absurd, and cheapens what others work for and earn with skill and teamwork. The issues of why this is a severe game-inbalance should be obvious. For example, in an experience group with Hathorne, he told the group that a cleric was not needed. While a shaman can heal certain groups without a cleric, no other shaman possesses a 1-Handed Blunt Weapon with infinite charges of instant-cast Complete Heal, as Hathorne did that night. I have never even seen such an item located in EverQuest, and yet this and other items regularly appear in this player's arsenal.
Despite many players asking for some sort of explanation, Verant has remained silent on the issue thus far. Surprise, surprise. If this is true then it certainly wouldn't be the first time that some players got special benefits for knowing people at Verant. The problem is that players who work hard, very hard, for their loot don't really appreciate it when they see others running around with high level items that they didn't have to work for. When you make it so exceptionally hard to get these items and then just start handing them out to friends, someone is going to notice.
Hopefully we see some sort of statement from Verant about all this soon.
SHOW ME SOMETHING [Author: Arcadian Del Sol]
It was a friendly wager until Jinx decided to get jiggy with it. In typical brash beer-smelling New York fashion, he decided to do his fighting on the internet instead of letting his football team do its fighting in Tampa Bay. I don't blame him. If my team were as hapless and limp as the New York Gnats, I'd take the battle to any place I could, as long as it wasn't on the football field.
So myself being a native of Baltimore, I am naturally a Raven's fan. As Jinx was quick to point out, The Raven's moved from Cleveland five years ago – something he seems to think will improve the chances of his lack luster Gnats in the Super Bowl. Whatever you have to do Jinx, to help you forget that whole 3 point underdog thing. Whatever you do to help you forget that I've heard the same thing three weeks ago from Tennessee Titan fans (Note to Jinx and anyone else living in denial: They were formerly the Houston Oilers), and I heard the same thing two weeks ago from the Oakland Raiders (Note to Jinx and anyone else living in denial: They were formerly the Los Angeles Raiders). You see, Jinx still thinks the year is 1995. If I were a Giants fan, I would, too.
The Wager:
Because websites make chump change and not even much of it, we didn't make any cash bets. If you learn anything from me, learn this: Never make a cash wager on a sporting event with a native New Yorker. Our wager is that the loser must compose a love poem in honor and tribute to the victor following the Big Game. Yeah, I agree with you, but it's the best we could come up with, us being poor and all. But at least if I win this bet, the chances of me being buried next to Jimmy Hoffa underneath the endzone at Giant's stadium are slim.
So good luck on Sunday Jinx. In the meantime:
CBS (proof that our bet isn't the dumbest)
THE LAST WORD [Author: Lietgardis]
Turbine, trying VERY VERY HARD to atone for last week's messy exploit recovery, has resorted to working towards the playerbase's baser instincts. Ranter-gone-bad Nik "Azeraphel" Davidson says it all in his latest Page from the Producer: I don't expect an apology to totally appease someone who lost a night's worth of XP and treasure, but we are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience that Friday's trouble caused. … That being said, make sure to leave an inventory slot free on your character when the February prop comes around — some database gnomes will deposit a little token of apology. Mmm, gimmicky.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Calvin men's basketball team fell 68-62 to nationally-ranked Illinois Wesleyan on Friday night at Van Noord Arena. The Knights came back from a fifteen-point first-half deficit to trail by four at halftime, but the No. 19 Titans held a 32-30 edge in the second half to claim the win in the closely-contested game.
With the loss, the Knights fall to 1-1 on the season, while Illinois Wesleyan improves to 2-0.
The Titan's Brady Rose was a significant factor in the win, racking up a game-high 34 points and shooting 57.9% from the field, including five three-pointers. The duo of sophomore Thad Shymanski (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian) and senior Jason Walter (Coloma, Mich./Coloma) led the Knights with fifteen points apiece. Junior Derrick DeVries (Grand Rapids, Mich./Covenant Christian) finished with 12 points, while senior Austin Bykerk (Jenison, Mich./Unity Christian) chipped in 10 points and a team-high eight rebounds. Senior Alex Bos (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian) also collected eight boards in the loss.
The Titans built an early 11-5 lead as senior Brady Rose collected seven early points. Calvin responded with two quick buckets to trail by two, but Rose hit responded with a three-point field goal. Junior Tony DeWitte (Grandville, Mich./Calvin Christian) answered with a triple of his own before Illinois Wesleyan staged an 11-point run to lead 24-12 as the midpoint of the half neared.
Calvin struggled to contain the Titans' hot offense as they hit their fourth three-pointer to lead 29-14 with eight minutes left in the half. The two teams exchanged points for the next three minutes until the Knights staged a nine-point run to cut the deficit to six and force a Titans timeout. Out of the break, Walter connected for a three-pointer to make the score 33-30, but Illinois Wesleyan responded with a triple for the Titans. Bykerk put in a layup for the last bucket of the half, but the visitors headed into the locker room with a 36-32 advantage.
Illinois Wesleyan widened its lead to twelve in the first six minutes of the second half. Calvin came back with seven straight points, five coming from Bykerk, to trail 51-46. The Titans held their lead, but the Knights remained within six points with just over seven minutes remaining.
Shymanski hit a timely jumper to make the score 56-52, with 5:45 left to play. The Titans earned back their six-point lead, but Walter sunk a big three to make it a three-point game with three-and-a-half minutes left on the clock. After a Illinois Wesleyan timeout and buckets on both ends, both teams' defenses stepped up for over a minute of no scoring. With one-and-a-half minutes left, sophomore Emmet Warners (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian) drew a foul in the backcourt and knocked down two free throws to bring the Knights within one point, the scoreboard reading 62-61.
The Titans hit two free throws of their own, and Calvin regained possession as the one-minute mark approached. Bykerk was fouled on a drive to the rim and hit the front end of the one-and-one bonus. Illinois Wesleyan's Brady Rose came back and hit a jump shot to give the Titans a 68-62 advantage with sixteen seconds remaining. Calvin was unable to convert in the final seconds and the Titans claimed a 68-62 victory.
The Knights are back in action tomorrow, Saturday, when they host No. 3 Augustana (Ill.). Tip-off is set for 3 p.m.

Half of New Zealanders starting a new life in Australia have experienced racism or discrimination
New Zealanders and South Sudanese migrants to Australia feel they are more discriminated against among all migrant groups, according to a survey of more than 10,000 people.
Migrants feel less optimistic the longer they stay in Australia, the report has found.
Australians going to New Zealand do qualify for full citizenship, but if you come the other way, you don't.
"New Zealanders who come here can come by their passport, but the consequence of that is there are some benefits that they don't get," said Professor Markus of Monash University.
Professor Andrew Markus said many New Zealanders, who hold Special Category Visas, feel they are given a "harsh deal" in Australia because they can live and work here but are not eligible to vote, receive welfare, or other benefits.
"At one level they should know what they're getting themselves into because it's very clearly explained to them," he said.
"Nonetheless people feel resentment having worked in this country for years, paid their taxes, contributed to the community and then having difficulties and not being able to get Centrelink benefits. [See Australians Today report.]
"They also resent the fact that an Australian going to New Zealand does qualify for full citizenship but if you come the other way, you don't."
More than 200,000 New Zealanders on these visas, can't get any help from Centrelink, it's hard for kids going to university to get HECS, and they don't get to vote, says the report.
"Both New Zealand and South Sudanese migrants also reported low levels of trust, with Kiwis holding a very little trust in political parties (10 per cent) and the South Sudanese reporting the lowest level of trust in the police (24 per cent) out of any other group."
"Migrants from South Sudan bear the brunt of discrimination, with the report's author Professor Andrew Markus describing the level of colour prejudice towards them as 'off the scale'".
