It Came From Xbox Live 999--Snarky Ghost
2013 Year In Review - PlayStation
A Year In the Life of a Gamer 2013
Halo for Xbox One is Halo 5, Xbox Australia says [UPDATE]
[uPDATE] A Microsoft representative told GameSpot, "This post was made in error, and we will be updating it shortly. We have made no announcements regarding the name of Halo on Xbox One. As we have stated previously, the award-winning franchise continues on Xbox One, beginning in 2014. We have no further details to share at this time."
The original story is below.
The all-new Halo game Microsoft announced for Xbox One at E3 2013 in June is Halo 5, not a spinoff, according to a Facebook post today from Xbox Australia.
As part of an ongoing series of reasons to buy an Xbox One in 2014, Microsoft said, "Reason #14 - The Prometheans and Covenant just won't give John-117 a break! Master Chief returns for the thrilling continuation of the Reclaimer Saga in Halo 5."
In June, former Xbox boss Don Mattrick referred to the new Halo game as Halo 5.
However, Microsoft Game Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer declined to say if this game was Halo 5 when approached by GameSpot earlier this year. He only described the game as "legitimate."
We've reached out to Microsoft for comment on today's report, but were unable to reach a company representative at press time.
Microsoft has released only one trailer for the next Halo game, showing off Master Chief in the desert. The all-new Halo game launches in 2014 on Xbox One, following Halo: Spartan Assault, which launched for the new system just this week.

Violett Review
In ways both fantastical and familiar, Violett weaves a yarn that snakes around you and pulls you in. This point-and-click adventure shoves its surreality and challenge to the forefront, announcing its intention to lure you into its twisted world and twist your brain into knots from the get-go. As the story grows, the game's mechanics wane, touching on possibilities Violett never fully exploits. Yet where the lead character's magical abilities never wholly blossom, the journey casts its own kind of spells on you. Push past the frustrating initial moments and prepare for a lovely and unusual tale.
The basic setup is one we've all heard before. A young, rebellious teen moves away from her school and her life in the city to an old haunted house in the middle of nowhere. It's a bit hackneyed, but it works as a solid foundation for the game's real draw: a mind-bending nightmare world filled with tough puzzles and inventive visuals.
Channeling some unholy fusion between all of the great surrealist artists as well as a healthy dose of Lewis Carroll, Violett opens with the eponymous teen looking around her room for something--anything--to do. She spots a glint through a hole in the baseboard and reaches in to find herself quickly transported to a visually stunning alternate world. The story is pretty bare-bones and is almost exclusively without words, instead relying on pictures, symbols, and facial expressions to communicate. Unfortunately, while that approach helps the already stellar visual presentation, Violett's first few moments are marred by a dedication to that minimalism.
After her transportation to this alternate dimension, Violett finds herself trapped inside a cage, and you, as the player, have some small degree of control over her surroundings. At first, she can't do much besides rock her cage back and forth, by means of you clicking and dragging the mouse to and fro. Unfortunately that requires some strange timing, and it took me about 10 minutes to get the hang of it. On the flip side, that awkward motion shows up only once more at the very end of the game. Coarse first impressions aside, this first scene is fantastic as a vertical slice of everything you need to learn to progress.
This pond is more representative of the late-game stages and lacks the strangeness of earlier stages, instead looking very grounded, albeit quite somber.
Once you've rattled your cage sufficiently, you briefly grab the hands of a fairy, also imprisoned, which grants you some basic telekinetic powers. From there, you can manipulate objects throughout the room, either by simply clicking on them or by clicking and dragging them in a specific direction to achieve a specific effect. If you're trying to manipulate an object in the wrong way or at the wrong time, Violett shakes her head and mumbles disapprovingly.
Scattered around the room are a few colored orbs that you can collect by clicking on them. They are hidden, though, and very carefully disguised by the environment. These are orbs of elemental power, and they act as a constant sort of Easter-egg hunt. Often there are four or five on any given screen, but figuring out exactly where they sit is a running puzzle that helps guide you to look around the room for clues as to your next objective. With this knowledge in hand, you have all you need to move on.
Not everything in Violett's world looks like it comes from the land of nightmares...sometimes there are colorful party balloons!
From there, things start to get really strange. The first room you come to after the introductory area features a demonic-looking teapot that never takes its one eye off of you. It's distinctly unnerving, but works well to set the creepy, absurdist tone. This room also tests the lessons you learned in the first room to make sure that you've got the hang of them. From there, you find an M.C. Escher-inspired hub of sorts that leads off to several other places, and the game proper begins. This is also the toughest part of the game, since you have several rooms that you must tackle with relatively little to guide you. The strangeness of the world and the obtuse rules it follows highlight Violett's nature as an outsider to this world. You don't understand it, because she doesn't, at least not yet. Regardless, this first hub and its connected rooms amount to the first few hours of gameplay, and they are stunningly hard. While some of that difficulty continues, after you start to get a decent grasp on the world, it isn't quite as alien or as hostile.
There's an overarching theme of escapism that steadily transitions to homesickness, much in the way that Alice's trip through the rabbit hole first seems like a fun romp before becoming more and more hostile. Here, though, the first few environments are remarkably unfriendly, whereas the later ones are wistful and lonely. Because there are no words or real cutscenes to help communicate the game's message, and there's a strong implication that this is Violett's escapist fantasy, it's hard to shake the feeling that this trip through the rabbit hole is reflective of Violett's own emotional state. Helping that interpretation along is the absolutely fantastic musical score. The music changes from room to room, helping to contextualize each major location in the game. Some rooms rely on pizzicato strings to imply that Violett is in danger; others shift into G minor chords to imply sadness and loneliness.
A few orb locations are obvious, but some aren't so easy. There are quite a few in this shot alone. Can you find them all?
While the meat and potatoes of such simple games are the environments and the puzzles, Violett does have a few odd problems. First, while the colored orbs I mentioned earlier are useful in that they help encourage you to look around and closely examine the rooms, they don't have much utility beyond that. Later, Violett gains some other powers in addition to her telekinesis. It's sort of implied that the strength of those powers is related to how many orbs you've collected, but they don't change at all over time. Even if they did, those other powers are rarely used. Violett's ability to float, make plants grow, and finally encapsulate herself in a shield all seem like they'd be fantastically useful for navigating such a strange land, but they never come up in a story-critical context until the last few seconds of the game. Instead, they're used only to help collect pages of a diary left by an unknown stranger. These pages aren't critical, nor do they provide any hints to help the game along. They are entirely optional, though you often have to go to rather extreme lengths to collect them. I was left feeling that the game is unfinished, because these skills aren't used for anything interesting or vital.
Despite the oddly incomplete utilization of otherworldly psychic powers, and an insane difficulty curve, the emotional context goes a long way to helping Violett along. The steep curve is representative of Violett's own confusion, and the powers are her growing determination to escape this alternate world and return home. Violett is quiet and unassuming, but it steadily weaves a tale about childhood fears and desires with which we are all too familiar. Despite its surreal setting, it has a very personal touch that grounds it.

Nimble Storage Data Analytics – InfoSightNovember 10, 2014
It's hard to get too excited about a monitoring system, especially one that's main focus is to notify a hardware vendor of a problem. However, Nimble Storage has an impressive phone home solution called InfoSight that they are leveraging for more than just fault notifications and opening tickets on failed hardware. This solution is being used for a variety of analytical purposes to both improve their product as well as improve the customer's experience with their array purchase.
Phone Home
Nothing too special here right? It's nothing new for a storage array to phone home to send faults, but Nimble is sending additional telemetry data about workloads as well. Nimble can take this data to help determine if there is enough solid state cache in the system for the array to function well. Maybe this is selfish of Nimble to get this data, after all, their solution to fixing this "not enough cache" problem would likely be to sell you more SSDs but as a customer, don't you want this to be the case? You'll be able to see this data in your InfoSight portal, and if you choose to give your preferred partner access to this data, they can help get you the hardware you need to fix it.
Alright, if that doesn't knock your socks off, then how about this. Nimble is using the data from all of their customers who choose to enable phone home (about 94% of their install base) to proactively alert other customers of upcoming issues. I've heard already of an issue that had happened with a particular workload on a certain firmware version that caused a problem with an array and after InfoSight collected it, Nimble was able to tell their customers that also had similar environments exactly when the array would start encountering problems. That is pretty cool!
When it comes to firmware updates, Nimble Storage will use the telemetry data from your array and if any issues might affect your particular array, they will remove the version of firmware that could affect it from their support portal on a customer basis. For instance, if you are on 2.0 and a 2.1 bug is identified for something your array is doing, you might only see an upgrade path from 2.0 to 2.2. Also, on the topic of upgrades, Nimble mentioned to the delegates of Storage Field Day 6 that about 60% of their customers will run firmware upgrades to the array during the middle of the day. With shocked looks on our faces we asked them to repeat that statistic and they held fast. That's pretty amazing confidence in the array if that is true. I'd love to see some hard statistics on this from their analytics engine.
All travel expenses and incidentals were paid for by Gestalt IT to attend Storage Field Day 6. This was the only compensation given.
Future Updates
Customers might not see an enormous gains from Nimble getting tons of performance data on all the arrays, but current customers will see future benefits because Nimble will have tons of information to improve the product for later releases. Nimble Storage and their shareholders should be very happy about this data because they can improve their product to meet the demands their customers really need. There won't need to be any guessing here. InfoSight collects telemetry data every 5 minutes on all of their arrays by default and that data is loaded into their HP Vertica Analytics Engine for analysis. (yes, they house all of this data on Nimble Storage Arrays and not some place in the cloud like Amazon. They are eating their own dog food here. In fact some of their arrays are named "Kibble" and "Bits". So Clever).
Cloud Solutions
OK, this is something brand new that Nimble Storage just announced and I love the idea, especially for small to medium businesses. Nimble is now offering a "Storage On-Demand" solution which results in Nimble (or a partner) to install an array in your data center, but you only pay for the amount of space you use on it, on a monthly basis. It's like having cloud storage, only in your own server racks! This is only possible because of InfoSight reporting capabilities. At the end of each month, Nimble Storage can send out a bill based on the data InfoSight has collected. Nimble is really deploying an overprovisioned array to your site, but not making you pay for the wasted space that you didn't use. There will be several tiers that you can get in such as Platinum, Gold and Silver, etc. Where this correlates to the size of the controllers you need as well as the amount of SSD Cache you want.
I think this is an amazing opportunity for small to medium business because of how difficult a large capital expense is to small companies. In addition, these small shops without a dedicated SAN Administrator can really benefit from InfoSight telling them how their array is doing and when changes should be made to it. This really could replace the need for an additional full time employee.
Nimble Storage should love this because it helps introduce the product to companies. If the array really does what Nimble says it will, the customer is going to continue to pay for this service, and if they decide that Nimble isn't doing their job can drop the solution anytime after the first year. Nimble will be forced to continue to innovate to keep these customers.
Minimum requirements to enter into the "Storage On-Demand" solution is a 40TB array and a 1 year contract. After one year it will be month to month. You should be lucky to find a cell phone contract with those terms.
Nimble Storage is obviously an array vendor and most of the time we only talk about how the array performs and why it's better or worse than other platforms. But in this case Nimble has a very compelling value add to their solution that is worth a second look if you're deciding between them and one of their competitors. To learn more about the solutions, check out the following articles from fellow Storage Field Day 6 Delegates:

Football Betting Accumulator System
Football accumulators are serious football betting these days. Bookmakers are making it a large priority to get our acca business, via a number of methods, such as acca insurance, and additional bonuses paid out on top of winning acca bets.
With all of these offers around, surely there must be a must be a way of making guaranteed profits from acca bets? Well there is, and they are all packaged up with details of how it works, how much money to place and lay, etc, etc, in the Accumulator Generator system.
Accumulator Generator shows you exactly how to place your football accumulator bets, and how to cash in the free bet refunds that come from the acca insurance (money back if you miss by one) offers.
Nearly every bookmaker going at the moment offers these refunds, and these days there is enough football played to place an acca bet almost every day of the week. This means the amount of times you can operate this system is almost limitless, meaning it could make an absolute fortune.
You can place Accas every day with loads of different bookmakers. Or you could just vary the bookmakers you use and place one acca a day, it depends on the individual and how much time and effort you want to invest.
Accumulator Generator has also devised a system that involves backing a load of short priced teams in an acca bet, and the more teams that lose, the more money you make. This is yet another football accumulator system honed by Accumulator Generator to make you risk free money.
Accumulator Generator comes with a calculator that works out exactly how much money you need to back and lay to make the maximum amount of risk free money. The calculator is the essential tool in this process, and probably the reason why the creator of the system offers a 30 day money back guarantee.
Otherwise you could just buy Accumulator Generator, learn the process, and then get your money back on the refund. Having access to the calculator is one reason why you would really need to keep this system.
Another reason for keeping membership of the Accumulator Generator system is for the Acca Matcher, which is a tool that actually finds the best value accumulator for you to profit from.
There are also video tutorials and written instructions showing you how to work the calculator, as well as video examples and written instructions showing you how to place your accumulator bets, and you lay bets. All this ensures that virtually anybody can use it.
If you are new to all this, you can start off by placing small bets for a fiver, just to get you started.
All these accumulator betting techniques are virtually risk free. There is staking plan, and no risky bets. The worst that can happen is placing a qualifying bet, you might lose a quid or two, but when you hit a free bet of £50.00, you will be quids in. The only other way to lose money is by human error.
Just think using this system once a day, or a few times a day, or just a few times a week, how much money you can make? £50.00 free bets, £25.00 free bets, money from accas where teams actually lose (which will also please your bookmaker), the opportunities from this system are excellent.
And as I eluded too above, this system comes with a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, allowing you to purchase it, use it for just under 4 weeks, and then simply ask for a full 'No Questions Asked' refund. It is sold on the clickbank platform which is a reputable website, ensuring you can purchase with confidence. You really have absolutely nothing to lose by giving it a try.
Accumulator Generator is one of the many excellent Mike Cruickshank products, which make risk free cash on a regular basis for their members. More of these sort of products can be found on our betting systems that work and football betting systems pages.

We're about halfway through Round 2 of the 2013 NBA Playoffs and this is shaping up to be a very interesting round, indeed. In some cases, these series are just where everyone would expect: Spurs & Heat up 2-1. And in other cases, there are some disappointments brewing for the home court teams: New York and OKC, both down 2-1. I'm sure my BULLS team can identify with OKC since their circumstances (losing Westbrook to a serious injury in Round 1) seems to be affecting them like it did my team when they lost Rose in Game 1 against Philly last year during Round 1 of the playoffs. It's heartbreaking, especially when you look at a player like Kevin Durant who is so great as a player and a person. He is so deserving of winning a championship! And personally, I would much prefer him taking it this year over Lebron. Ever since Lebron whored himself out to Miami because he didn't think it was worth the hard work to stay with his hometown team to win a championship, I lost complete respect for him as a person. Yeah, he's a fantastic player, the best in the league today, but his character is what I question. I doubt his loyalty AND his sincerity. He finally got his championship by departing under very ugly circumstances. And while he's proved himself to be the best, I would love to see him knocked off of his pedestal. He doesn't deserve another championship. When I was watching my team play their hearts out against Miami last night during Game 3, I began to wonder what had happened to the league's statement that they would be coming down on flopping in games. Have ANY fines been handed down to any players this year??!! Hmmm. It seems the one player that gets away with the MOST flops is Lebron James! In fact, I think that instead of calling it flopping, we should start calling it Lebron-ing. Yeah, I think I'm about to start that trend. See for instance this interaction between our very mild-mannered teammate, Nazr Mohammed:
Nazr was pulled down to the ground by Lebron while Nazr tried to hard foul him to prevent James from getting an easy shot. Of course Nazr was pissed about Lebron throwing him to the floor. And not surprisingly Nazr came back and shoved his ass! But really look at this video. Do you really think Nazr pushed him so hard that Lebron flew back on his butt like that??!! I think not. That is just another case of Lebron…Lebron-ing! And he's been doing it all year and especially against the hard defense of my Chicago BULLS!! I completely agree with Nate Robinson's depiction of Lebron as "a good actor". He's a better player than that, right? Which is why it bothers me so much that he relies on such a wimpy tactic to get fouls called against my team. Why can't he just play his game if he's so damn great?? My boys are playing tough basketball & Lebron just can't handle it. He truly is a Diva and I don't mean that in a good way at all! My BULLS team is missing two key starters in Luol Deng & Kirk Hinrich because of illness & injury, respectively. And of course, they've played all year without Derrick Rose. And look what they've accomplished…5th in the East for the regular season, fought for & won Round 1 against Brooklyn in 7 games against ALL ODDS, & stole Game 1 of Round 2 against the Heat IN Miami. These are all things that NOBODY expected from them. And not only does that speak to the fabulous coaching of Tom Thibodeau, but it speaks VOLUMES of the players' resilience, determination, & heart! They have been battling injuries & guys being out all year and they still believe they can beat anybody!! This is why I love my team so much. And what I find even more interesting is that they seem to hate the Heat just as much as I do. And probably for the very same reasons as I do. They're FAKE!! They don't have much character! And they can't handle tough game play. Grow a pair, guys! The toughest guy on their team is Birdman and he was picked up late this season & probably won't even be there next year, so he's not a true diva. I never in a million years expected my boys to beat Miami in this series, but I always knew that they would fight hard and at least make a go of it. In their hearts, they want to beat them so badly. But with all the odds against them, they probably won't be able to accomplish that. But boy do I applaud them for their efforts. They are the hardest working guys in the league and that's evident! And for all the Rose critics out there. Do you really think that his return NOW in this very volatile series is wise?? Would you rather him come back and re-injure himself or wait till next year when he's 100% both mentally and physically and ready to get back onto that championship path??? The playoffs are very intense as evidenced by all the injuries sustained by players like Westbrook and now Stephen Curry. I would love to see Rose playing, but I don't think that now is the appropriate time. I do wish Thibs would use the same type of rotation he used in Game 7 against Brooklyn, by bringing in more bench players to give some much-needed rest to the 6 main guys he's been playing. This has been a very physically & emotionally charged playoffs for them and it's obviously taking a toll on the players. This was made most apparent in their defensive (and offensive) breakdown against Miami in the fourth quarter during Game 3. They kept the game very close all night up until the final 12 minutes. They just didn't have enough juice to finish strong. I expect that there will be some adjustments made for Game 4 and I hope the results will be more positive for my boys. They deserve another win, especially in Chicago. The Heat do NOT deserve to get by this round easily. And I'm looking forward to seeing the controlled "punches" that my team will throw at these Lebron-ing fools!!

Hemp Bombs CBD Capsules and Oil: A Perfect Match To Relax!
Recently I had the oppritunity to try out some products from a very reliable company called Hemp Bombs. They offer a range of quality CBD products like edibles and vape E-liquids. Today I will be reviewing some of there "CBD Capsules" and there "CBD Oil".
I love the pair that these two make! Low in sugar, easy on the stomach, and great tasting. If you would like to improve your quality of life in any way, this would be a great start!
From Hemp Bombs
All of Hemp Bombs products are sourced from European Hemp with the highest growing standards, free of pesticides, chemicals, and contaminants. The CBD is extracted via supercritical CO2, widely acknowledged as the premier extraction process. Hemp Bombs then has independent lab tests for all of its products, adding another layer of quality control. Hemp Bombs is a consumer-focused and eco-friendly brand with a great selection of CBD products. See how Hemp Bombs can benefit you today.
What Is CBD?
CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a compound that is derived from Cannabis, or Hemp. To be legally compliant, CBD is sourced from the stalks of low-THC, Industrial Hemp. CBD has been found to have many therapeutic effects for its users because of the way it interacts with the body's Endocannabinoid System, with CB1 and CB2 receptors. Some of the reported benefits are better sleep, pain relief, and overall improvement in mood.
So What Did I Think?
CBD Capsules
Well let me first start off by saying I don't take pills. I have a very sensitive stomach. Any multivitamin or pain reliever I swallow is usually a battle. So I avoid taking pills all together usually.
However, Hemp Bombs CBD Capsules are very gentle on my stomach, I can notice when I am digesting them because I will start to feel more comfortable and relaxed. Some mornings I will have a bit of anxiety, thinking of things I need to do that day can sometimes contribute to these feelings. CBD really helps subside this feeling and helps me start my day off on the right foot.
Also the feeling last throughout the day, although it is different. It is a more subtle feeling. I would say the CBD Capsules really helps enhance your mood. I just feel like things are a little easier to deal with, stress isn't so "stressful"
I have yet to try them out when I am totally stressing out. Now that I think about it, I have not been stressed much at all ever since I started regularly taking CBD. However I would like to see how they effect someone that is having a "melt down". I bet these green babies would help quite a bit!
CBD Oil
As for the CBD Oil, I felt it was a great complement to the CBD Capsules. I like to use the CBD Oil at night before bed. It has a very pleasing peppermint flavor, so using it after you have brushed your teeth is no big deal. If you are the type of person that suffers from restless legs, or insomnia, I really recommend CBD products before bed. I LOVE the quality of sleep I get now. For the past few years I have not be dreaming or remembering my dreams.
Now I dream every night! It's awesome! Also, If a couple of nights after large meals I had alot of bloating and discomfort. I tried using CBD Oil to help with digestion. On both instances within 15 mins I was feeling great again!
So Give It A Try
So there are many uses for CBD products to help improve your quality of life in many ways. If you are new to the world of medical cannabis and hemp products you can't got wrong with hemp bombs! I recommend the CBD Capsules for the day and the CBD Oil for the night, the perfect match to relax!

Advocacy Works! Increased Affordable Housing Funding for 2018
Omnibus Bill Passes with NJ Support and Provisions to Strengthen and Expand the Affordable Housing Credit
On March 22, 2018, the House and the Senate voted to approve a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill and President Trump signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act into law on March 23. The omnibus funds the government including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other federal agencies through the end of fiscal year 2018.
All New Jersey members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted for the omnibus spending bill except for:
- Donald Norcross (D-NJ-1)
- Frank Pallone (D-NJ-6) and
- Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ-12.)
U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) voted for the omnibus spending bill and U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) voted against the bill.
Thank you to all of the leaders in Congress who voted for the omnibus and to the advocates who urged them to do so.
This is a good example of why the Congressional Reception is crucial. Join us in July 2018 and support a place to call home for everyone in NJ.
- The omnibus bill is a significant step forward for families and communities struggling to address the severe shortage of affordable housing.
- Advocates in Washington DC and across the country deserve great credit for their tireless advocacy in support of programs that advance affordable housing and end homelessness.
- We must continue our work to keep funding at a level that will provide everyone with a place to call home.
Working under a prior agreement to raise the Budget Control Act spending limits for defense and non-defense discretionary programs for 2018 and 2019, Congress has completed a bill that will provide substantial added resources for HUD's core housing assistance programs. The omnibus funds non-defense programs at a higher level than any year since 2010 and would not have been possible without the community rallying behind the campaign.
Overall, the bill increases HUD program funding by $4.7 billion, or nearly 11 percent. Highlights include:
- Housing Choice Vouchers: $22 billion in total funding, $1.7 billion above the 2017 level. This includes $19.6 billion for renewals — which is likely sufficient to fully renew vouchers in use — and $1.76 billion for administrative fees, a 7% increase over 2017. About $20 million of the administrative fee amount appears to be set aside to assist agencies that are required to implement Small Area FMRs this year. The bill also provides funding for roughly 60,000 new housing vouchers, including 54,000 "mainstream" vouchers for non-elderly people with disabilities, 5,000 vouchers for homeless veterans (VASH), and 2,600 vouchers for at-risk families with children (Family Unification Program).
- Homeless Assistance: $2.5 billion for homeless assistance grants, $130 million above 2017. This includes $80 million for the homeless youth initiative, and $50 million for rapid rehousing and supportive services for victims of domestic violence. The bill also includes $375 million for HOPWA.
- $1.36 billion for HOME ($412 million above 2017) and $3.3 billion for CDBG formula grants.
The omnibus includes two key provisions to strengthen and expand the Housing Credit, taken from the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (S. 548/H.R. 1661):
- A 12.5% increase in Housing Credit allocation, effective for four years (2018-2021), and
- A provision authorizing income averaging in Housing Credit properties, on a permanent basis upon enactment of this bill. Income averaging would allow Housing Credit units to serve households earning up to 80 percent of area median income (AMI.) This is offset by deeper targeting in other units to maintain average affordability in the development at 60 percent AMI.

As the title implies, I stole this from 2LazyDogs. I have been a little sick for the past week and just been avoiding writing anything and I was happy as hell to see a MEME I could sink my teeth into. So here is the music that is rocking my socks right now! I'm not tagging anyone for this but feel free to steal , rinse, lather and repeat! 🙂
The Horrorpops
How can you not love this band? Psychobilly silliness, gorgeous singer and goth girl go-go dancers!
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Old school video from the old days of the Boston punk scene…ah, memories.
Dropkick Murphys
The dvd that this video comes from has yours truly toasting the camera during one of the songs, albeit from a distance….
The Dresden Dolls
Been following these two for ages and absolutely love the quirkiness and the whole punk cabaret aesthetic.
Gotta give a shout out to my good friends from Albany. Not the best sound on this video but you may notice a dashing young man in black snapping photos from the crowd…..
Elizabeth and the Catapult
This video has nothing to do with the band. Funny juxtaposition with World Of Warcraft and this song…love it. Yup, I'm a geek. First heard this band on NPR and been loving them ever since.
The White Stripes
I love the Stripes and damn this album is so loud and almost perfect from beginning to end!
The Raconteurs
More silliness from Mr White and his co-conspirators. This album is another testimony to his diversity and guitar skills.
Suicide City
Yup, I had to add a little screamo-silliness! Love the bass player and they put on a hell of a show!

Matthew Ferrari, PhD an assistant professor of biology and statistics at the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics where he studies the transmission and distribution of infectious diseases and develops mathematical models to explain the impact of vaccination and global change on the incidence of infectious disease. The use of these mathematical and statistical tools assists in his understanding of patterns of disease incidence, and the effects of heterogeneity, in time and space. Matthew's specific areas of research include: Measles dynamics in developing countries Measles still kills hundreds of thousands of children each year in developing countries. Attempts to eradicate the disease through mass vaccination are hampered by both logistical and epidemiological challenges; for instance, high birth rates can make it difficult to maintain the necessary 95% vaccine coverage. In collaboration with Medecins Sans Frontières Matthew and his team are investigating local and regional dynamics of annual measles epidemics in West African countries (Niger, Tchad, Democratic Republic of Congo), in order to recommend vaccination strategies to minimize mortality and morbidity due to measles. They are using time series analysis and epidemic models to investigate:

Andre Maurois once said, "A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day."
It's true; a strong marriage takes work and trust, two things that are also essential when combining finances. Despite the idealism, however, the average Mr. and Mrs. don't live by the same rules. A Harris Interactive poll revealed that one-third of married people have committed financial infidelity. So, how can you tell if your beloved is lying about money? You may feel cheated if they (are):
1. Easily defensive. The subject of money is a touchy one in your household. The question, "How much did you spend on groceries?" can erupt into World War III. While your spouse may be feeling stressed about money, defensiveness is often a sign of untold troubles. Approach the topic carefully and ask why it's an emotional trigger. Communication is the first step.
2. Quick to lie. Big or small, a lie about money is a bad sign. Consider the following example:
Justin and Claire have been married for two years. While away on a weekend trip with friends, Justin spends more than $400 on dinner, drinks and clubbing. When Claire asks about his trip the following Monday, he replies, "Don't worry about it. I only spent $200 or so."
While Justin's lie wasn't malicious, small untruths can add up quickly, especially when it concerns personal finance and budgeting. If you can't trust your spouse to deliver the truth, review joint bank statements to determine the depths of their deceit. What you learn will shed light on the health of your relationship.
3. Open accounts without your knowledge. Are charges missing from your credit statement? If so, you might be dealing with a case of infidelity. Consider Morgan's plight:
Morgan and Grace have been married for 9 years. Although they are generally happy, Morgan worries about Grace's tendency to overspend. He notices new items in the house and a closet full of recently purchased clothes, but he can't find the expenses listed on their credit card statement. While rifling through papers in the office, he discovers a credit card statement addressed to his wife only. He is shocked when he learns that she has opened a new credit card and charged over $7,000 in personal debt.
Numbers don't lie, and it's time to seek the truth if yours aren't adding up. Spouses are jointly responsible for all debts incurred during the marriage. Don't wait to uncover the facts in this scenario.
4. "Borrow" money from you. Have you ever "lost" $20 from your wallet? Did you immediately realize your spouse was the culprit? Vanishing funds are a symptom of a larger problem. Whether the intent is to lie, conceal, or simply take, financial instability begins with missing cash.
5. Divert from the marriage plan. Infidelity covers many sins, and lying is the common denominator. We've talked about the importance of discussing finances before marriage. If you've had a similar talk, remind your spouse about the importance of sticking to the plan. Highlight your reasons for budgeting, saving and focusing on credit repair.
The bottom line: Money troubles can ruin a marriage without the proper attention. Confront your spouse about their financial infidelity and begin to rebuild your relationship now. Waiting will only lead to bigger problems.

Publication: Guidelines for research ethics in science and technology
On occasion, conflicts may arise between the individual researcher and a senior or an authority. This is particularly problematic when the conflict arises because the researcher regards it as his or her ethical duty to act as a whistleblower, sometimes contrary to the advice of a superior or authority. Instances of whistleblowing may concern internal matters in the research, such as scien-tific integrity, or they may pertain to matters of societal signi-ficance. As whistleblowing of this kind is based on discretionary assessments, it often creates a basis for unresolved conflicts. The institution must ensure that the whistleblower's legal protection is not threatened.[9]
Text: The Norwegian National Committees for Research Ethics
Last updated: Tuesday, June 28, 2016
In concrete terms, this means that researchers must consider carefully
a) the possibilities for resolving the conflict internally in the organisation
b) the possible consequences of such whistleblowing for the researcher personally, the research institution and society, both if the circumstances reported are correct and if they are not correct
c) the possible consequences of failing to act as a whistleblower
d) the whistleblowing channels that best lend themselves to minimise conflict and optimise actions to remedy the damage
e) possible other motives behind the whistleblowing that may affect the researcher's own objectivity
It is important that all parties involved in a whistleblowing situation respect the fact that the process must be dealt with in a neutral manner. An independent body must investigate the conflict, and the whistleblower must be protected against unreasonable or untimely reactions.
This means that
a) research institutions must have mechanisms for taking care of both the whistleblower and the subject of the disclosure
b) research institutions must have mechanisms for conducting such an independent scrutiny of whistleblowing cases in the institution
c) these mechanisms must be known to the researchers at the institution

RESULTS: Women's Epstein Becker & Green Los Angeles Squash Open, Los Angeles, USA
[1] Natalie Grainger (USA) bt [3] Raneem El Weleily (EGY) 4-9, 9-7, 4-9, 9-7, 9-4 (49m)
Natalie Grainger won the Women's Epstein Becker & Green Los Angeles Squash Open title as predicted by the seedings - but the experienced 29-year-old from Washington DC was taken the full distance in the final by third seed Raneem El Weleily before beating the Egyptian teenager at the LA Athletic Club in Los Angeles, USA.
Twice the US National champion had to come from behind before finally overcoming El Weleily, the 18-year-old world junior champion from Alexandria, 4-9, 9-7, 4-9, 9-7, 9-4 in 49 minutes.
"I wasn't very fast today, I've been struggling with a cold all week," champion Grainger told www.squashsite.co.uk afterwards. "She got into it very quickly and I wasn't quite there at the start. She's very good, very skilful, reads the game well and has great touch.
"After I won the second, I thought I knew what I needed to do - but she stepped it up again and just steamrollered me in the third. I had to raise my pace to keep her at bay - I knew that if I worked her hard she could make a batch of errors, so I had to will myself to that higher pace and be ready to go after it when I could," added Grainger, who became a US citizen in February and has now won three WISPA World Tour titles since that date on her new 'home soil'.
El Weleily, who was hoping that it would be third time lucky in her third WISPA final, was pleased with her performance: "I felt really calm all the way through. I wasn't thinking of the score at any time, just trying to win each rally, but in the end the errors I hit just killed me.
"I tried my best - I didn't have anything more to give out there. Thanks to everyone for a great tournament."

Outback Petticoat
The colour, Outback Petticoat, was created with our Australian and New Zealand retailers. Marian felt that an orange would be a great color to feature our corner of the world. It is named after the orange outback soil that would stain the hem of white petticoats of early settler women. Great imagery, isn't it?
It's an intense orange, but not too bright. This beautiful color gives lots of options for mixing and waxing.
Simply mix this powder with water- it's that easy! A Milk Paint finish is unique and can range from a solid color to a stain, it all depends on how much water you add! It can be used on any porous surface without a primer. It will never chip or peel on porous surfaces as it soaks in and binds with the substrate.
For use on non-porous and highly varnished surfaces, Bonding Agent can be used to mix in with your milk paint to ensure a good bond to the surface without chipping.
- A sample size (30g) will paint a side table, several mirror frames or a small chair.
- A 230gm size packet will paint a dresser and a side table.
More about Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint:
It's a powdered, all natural paint (no VOC's) that has been around for thousands of years. It was found in the pyramids in Egypt and on ancient cave paintings. It's been used in America for years on furniture, walls, barns, etc. It is a versatile paint that can be used to achieve a variety of looks from chippy and distressed to smooth and sleek.
Is Milk Paint Safe:
Yes! Milk Paint is made from 100% natural ingredients. It's a powdered, no VOC's product that can be traced back all the way to ancient carvings and art. It is safe for children's furniture, painting projects indoors and use during pregnancy. It is made of only five natural ingredients – clay, limestone, chalk, casein (milk protein) and iron oxides for pigments.
Mixing Milk Paint:
There are many ways to mix the milk paint, we offer guidelines on how to mix it and what consistency to look for, however we encourage to always test out a small amount to make sure that you are happy with the mixture. Milk Paint can be used as a stain or a solid opaque paint, depending on how much water you add.
For a solid opaque look:
- Mix one part water to one part Milk Paint powder.
- Add water to container/jar first, then add powder and mix with a whisk, electric milk frother or blender.
- For a super smooth finish,use a blender for best results, otherwise mix with a frother or a whisk for an additional 1-2 minutes for a super fine mix.
- Mixed Milk Paint should have a table cream consistency for opaque coverage.
- Once satisfied with consistency, test out a small sample to see if desired consistency is reached. If the brush drags, the mixture is too thick (opaque) and you need to add more water. If sample drips and is too thin (transparent), then add more powder. Adjust as required, and start painting!
Note: Mixing Milk Paint can be like baking bread and the amount of water required will vary based on the humidity of the day and location. It can also vary depending on the amount of pigment in the color being mixed.

Bill McClure, candidate for the Florida 4th Congressional District and a sitting St. Johns County Commissioner, announced his opposition to the proposed sales tax increase, scheduled for referendum on August 30th.
In 2015, the St Johns County Commissioners voted 3-2 against a 1-cent sales tax increase in which McClure was the deciding vote to stop the board from increasing the tax. McClure is the first and only congressional candidate to announce his opposition to the proposed tax increase and bailout.
"This is what politicians do – whether it is here at home in Northwest Florida or up on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. They ignore problems, refuse to make the tough decisions, spend money they do not have and then come back to taxpayers demanding more and more. It has to stop. Families and seniors can't afford another tax increase," said McClure.
On August 30th, voters in Jacksonville will decide on a sales tax referendum to fund a $2.87 billion bailout of the municipality's massive pension debt which will benefit about 2600 people in Jacksonville. The debacle stems from the excessive guaranteed benefit contracts negotiated by previous Administrators and Sheriff in Jacksonville. The current Administration said if not passed, property taxes would have to be raised 30% to fund the liabilities.
"In St. Johns County, I heard the same Chicken-Little warnings from the political elites. If we didn't pass the sales tax increase, the sky would fall. But, the sky didn't fall. Instead, we said no to an increase in the sales tax and got serious about implementing conservative reforms. This year, we have $3.4 million dollars in excess cash flow on a $700 million-dollar budget without cutting required services. When I was elected in 2012, we used more than $10 million dollars of reserves to balance the budget. The results speak for themselves," said McClure.
During McClure's tenure, St. Johns County has added over 10,000 new jobs, eliminated 300 needless regulations, and was named the 5th in the Nation on CNN's "Best Places to Live: Where the Jobs Are" report.
"Just last year, many special interests were pushing for a 1-cent sales tax on our local residents and businesses in our County, which would have meant less money for their employees and higher costs of goods and services for the residents of the city. I stood up to the career politicians and special interests. I presented data showing the relationship between lower taxes and higher property tax values and cast the vote to kill the referendum that would have directly lead to a sales tax increase and resulted in a fundamental shift from Republican values. I have proved I can stop tax increases in St. Johns County and I will fight to stop them in Washington."
"If you support a tax increase here in NE Florida, then you might support a tax increase in Washington. Higher taxes mean smaller economic growth, less freedom, and fewer opportunities. For too long, politicians and special interest groups have wasted more and more of the hard earned money of the American people and then passed the buck by raising taxes on them."
Bill McClure is a candidate for U.S. Congress in Florida's 4th Congressional District. He has approved and paid for this message. As someone that built a career in the private sector, not a career politician, McClure helped start three health care IT firms, creating thousands of jobs across the country and hundreds in the state of Florida alone.
Through his service as St. Johns County commissioner, McClure demonstrated his commitment to conservative principles by casting the deciding vote against a referendum to increase the sales tax designed to bail out special interests. Under McClure's leadership as commissioner and his commitment to fiscally conservative policies, St. Johns County returned $27 million dollars to the taxpayers, which has revitalized small businesses and the economy of the county, adding more than 11,000 new jobs and drastically improving its bond rating from AA- to AA+, and even generated national recognition, including by CNN Money as one of the top job-creating regions in the country.

Mild in winter, sizzling in summer, it's easy to see why Spain remains not just a popular holiday destination, but a retirement one as well.
Spain is also well known for flamboyant customs such as flamenco dancing, bull fighting and other traditions, fabulous cuisine consisting of paella, tapas and seafood and fantastic choice of holiday accommodation, from self catering villas to extremely accessible hotels. We can also arrange everything else you may need too such as travel insurance, assistance at airports and the hiring of specialist equipment. So whether you want to visit the Straits of Gibraltar in the south to the medieval town of Oviedo in the north, the only thing you'll need to remember after having a great time in Spain is the date you're due to come home!

Today I will be reviewing the Edge Mobility Band which is part of the Edge Mobility System by Dr. Erson Religioso, DPT of The Manual Therapist. I have been following his blog for quite awhile now and from the start I was very intrigued by the magical blue bands that he kept using on his patients and in his videos.
I would watch his videos and read his blog posts about the increased function, mobility and decreased pain associated with using these bands as part of his treatment protocol. At the time I was unaware of the Voodoo floss bands so this was my first exposure to compression wrapping for anything other than edema prevention/reduction. I even tweeted at him back in April of this year to inquire whether a poor graduate student like myself could substitute a resistance band for his bands and get the same effect. He answered my tweet with complete honesty and told me that there was nothing magical about the Edge Mobility Bands. He stated that a simple resistance band should suffice.
While there may be nothing magical about these bands there is definitely something special about their construction and design considering that I wasted many hours trying to experiment with resistance bands instead of coughing up $24 bucks for two Edge Mobility Bands of my own. Most of those experiments led to cutting off the circulation of extremities, excessive body hair pulling, and the constant rolling and tearing of many thera-bands. It simply wasn't a feasible substitute for me but maybe it works or would work for somebody that is more coordinated, stubborn or cheap than me.
