Conversion corrupts?!

Back in 1993, I had posted this on soc.culture.indian, thinking it to be a joke.  Yet, there appears to be a recurring minor theme in 19th century literature about India that conversion to Christianity by Europeans resulted in a corruption of the natives.

Title: In the spirit of the Maharaj :-)  {Jai Maharaj was a poster on s.c.i., considered by many to be a joker}
"The British census of 1881 gives the record of {criminal} convictions:
        Europeans                1 in 274
        Eurasians                1 in 509
        Native Christians        1 in 799
        Mahommedans                1 in 856
        Hindus                        1 in 1361
        Buddhists                1 in 3787
These statistics were reprinted in the leading Catholic organ
in Britain, The Tablet, with the comments:
"The last item is a magnificent tribute to the exalted purity
of Buddhism...It appears from these figures that while we effect
a very marked moral deterioration in the natives by converting
them to our creed, their natural standard of morality is so
high that however much we Christianize them, we cannot succeed
in making them altogether as bad as ourselves.""
(From an introduction to "The Light of Asia", for original reference,
see Reincarnation: The Phoenix Fire Mystery, compiled and edited by
Joseph Head & S.L. Cranston, 1977, Warner Books).

Murad Ali Shah in Lahore to attend NFC meeting

KARACHI: Chief Minister of Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah landed in Lahore last night from Dubai to attend the meeting of the National Finance Commission Award in Lahore, ARY News reported on Monday.

Chief Minister of Sindh reached Lahore to attend the meeting of the National Finance Commission Award Working Group as the finance minister of the province.

The provinces will submit their proposals for the NFC meeting scheduled in October this year.

Three small provinces of Pakistan have reservations over delay in the new NFC Award, as the period of the previous financial award has lapsed on June 30, 2015.

The central government, however, holds the provinces responsible for delay in announcement of the new finance award.

Murad Ali Shah, who was in Dubai to discuss the matters of the government of Sindh with Dubai based former president Asif Ali Zardari, landed in Lahore from Dubai.

Sindh chief minister after paying a visit at Data Darbar in Lahore reached Governor House this morning to have a breakfast with Governor of Punjab Rafique Rajwana.

National Finance Commission Award

The National Finance Commission Award is a planned economic program enacted since 1951. It distributes monetary resources among the provinces and the centre. In the 7th NFC Awar in year 2010, for the first time factors other than population also considered for distribution among the provinces.

The distribution was based on 82 per cent weightage to population, 10.3 per cent to poverty, 2.5 per cent to revenue generation, 2.5 per cent to revenue collection and 2.7 per cent to the area.

The provinces’ share in the divisible pool increased from 47.5 per cent to 56 per cent in the first year and 57.5 per cent afterwards.

Under the award, Balochistan’s share in the provincial pool was increased to 9.09 per cent. Punjab was allocated a share of 51.74 per cent, Sindh 24.55 per cent and the NWFP 14.62 per cent.

Bright Ideas

Lightbulb logo
For more than 20 years, the Innovations in American Government Awards Program has recognized the very best innovations in American government, and has brought national attention to these practices and promoted their widespread dissemination.

The Innovations Awards competition throughout its history has received over 25,000 applications for the award. Though the competition has formally recognized nearly 500 of these applicants as winners and finalists, there have naturally been many applicants that show promise or are praiseworthy and noteworthy practices that did not advance to the final rounds of the competition.

In order to shine a light on such noteworthy government programs and practices, in 2010 the Innovations Program launched a recognition initiative called Bright Ideas that serves to further highlight and promote creative government initiatives and partnerships so that government leaders, public servants, and other individuals can learn about noteworthy ideas and can adopt those initiatives that can work in their own communities.

Beginning with these Bright Ideas, the Innovations Program seeks to create an open collection of innovations in order to create an online community where innovative ideas can be proposed, shared, and disseminated.

If your agency has developed an innovative and noteworthy program or practice, we encourage you to submit it for recognition as a Bright Idea by applying to the Innovations in American Government Awards competition. Should the initiative fully meet the Innovations Awards eligibility and selection criteria, it will be considered for the Innovations Awards competition. Programs that are newer or do not fully meet the criteria will only be considered for recognition as a Bright Idea. All applicants that do not advance to the second round of the Innovations competition will be considered for recognition as a Bright Idea.

Appropriate practices will be included in our open collection on our Government Innovators Network.

It is our hope that these Bright Ideas will be disseminated, discussed, and replicated widely.

KVH and Koscom to Launch Proximity Services for KRX Derivatives Trading

Richard Warley KVHKVH Co. Ltd., Asia’s leading information delivery platform, and Koscom, a leading financial IT solutions provider, announced February 27 that they will offer proximity hosting services for the Korea Exchange (KRX) derivative trading customers at Koscom’s new data center in Busan. They will also offer ultra low-latency connectivity from overseas financial centers to Seoul and Busan through interconnections of KVH’s ultra low-latency regional network and Koscom’s Stock-net in Korea. These services will be offered in conjunction with connectivity to other key financial centers such as Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney, and Chicago and will be available from June 4, 2012, when the new Koscom Busan data center opens.

The new proximity hosting service will include managed computing and network services. The new ultra low-latency service will offer the shortest network route and the lowest latency together with high availability.

Both the proximity hosting service as well as the low-latency connectivity service will be fully managed with end-to-end SLAs (Service Level Agreement) and will provide traders with a competitive edge in high-frequency trading.

With the trading volume of KRX’s derivative business growing significantly, this offering will meet institutional investors’ growing need for colocation and proximity hosting services and high-speed, low-latency access to Busan. Moreover, the demand for low-latency connectivity and proximity hosting services is rapidly growing in Asia as the adoption of high-frequency trading (HFT) strategies increases. To address these evolving needs, the two companies decided to partner and pool their experience and expertise as market leaders in providing low-latency solutions in their respective markets.

Woo Joo-Ha, President and CEO of Koscom said, “With the Busan IDC center constructed, Koscom will establish a solid foothold as a global IT solution leader in a capital market and maximize the benefits of both parties through common marketing targeted at financial institutes and companies.”

Richard Warley, President and CEO of KVH said, “Low-latency networks and proximity hosting have become extremely important in today’s trading environment. KVH offers ultra low-latency connectivity in Japan and across Asia, with major financial institutions around the world using our ultra low-latency network connectivity to Hong Kong, Singapore and Chicago. With Koscom’s strong presence and expertise in the market, KVH will be able to enhance its global capabilities and services to enable global traders to capitalize on all the benefits of robust low-latency solutions.”

Review&Giveaway: The Little Prince:The Planet of the Snake Sponsored by:NCircle Entertainment

The Little Prince: The Planet Of The Snake
**Disclosure** This product was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from N Circle Entertainment. All opinions are my own.

About the DVD:
The universe is in danger. The evil Snake extinguishes the stars as he passes through the galaxy, causing chaos and plunging the planets into darkness. The Little Prince must leave his Asteroid home and beloved friend, Rose, in his quest to outsmart the Snake and save the universe from doom. Accompanied by his trusted companion, the Fox, the Little Prince travels from planet to planet, braving danger and discovering vast and enchanted worlds.

Will the extraordinary gifts of the Little Prince bring each of the planets back to life? And will he ever find his way home? The Snake is tired of constantly losing against the Little Prince so he decides to risk it all! He goes back to B612, kidnaps Rose and brings her back to his planet. By doing so, he might lose everything because if the Little Prince comes to the Snake's home planet and frees Rose, the Little Prince will also rescue all the gloomy prisoners! Will the Snake regret kidnapping Rose and possibly losing all of his prisoners?

My Review:
 The Little Prince has to keep Rose safe and he will go to whatever costs he has to, to make sure she is safe. There is an evil snake that causes problems for everyone he encounters. The evil snake takes a great risk in trying to insure someone else's safety. If anyone can help them, it will be the Little Prince and his trusted companion, the Fox.

 Along the way the Little Prince must follow the bread crumbs to get down to the bottom of this mystery. In turn what will become of his friends that stand so faithfully by his side, even now.

 My sons, all three of them watched the movie. They are ages 6-14. They loved the movie especially the contrast between good and evil. The Little Prince is someone to look up to and admire. The movie is geared for ages 4-12. It was adventuresome and of good quality.

 N Circle Entertainment is my go-to for good quality programming for my children. I don't usually have to watch the movie beforehand to ascertain whether it is a good fit for our family. N Circle is a trustworthy company. To learn more about this dvd, follow this link. Look below to win one of your very own.

Why aren't there rappers from the Bronx anymore?
July 16, 2012 2:45 PM   Subscribe

Can anyone explain the relative paucity of New York rappers from the Bronx, particularly since the form was more or less born in that borough?

It seems true to me that, at least among those who have reached major label or underground prominence, very few rappers come from the Bronx after, say, the early to mid 90s. After BDP I can't really think of anyone other than the Diggin' in the Crates folks, which brings us as late as Fat Joe's career but that's it. I think a few Dipset folks are from there, but that's not many people.

By contrast Brooklyn, Queens, and Harlem have been producing a steady stream of rappers up until now. (I'm not forgetting Staten Island, but Wu-Tang aside it seems like a minor player in this question.)

I don't think this is explained by the genre's shift away from NYC in the last decade or more, since NY rappers outside the Bronx have still become prominent.

Anyone have theories, substantiated or otherwise?

Also, if my premise is actually wrong here, fire away.

Off hand I'd suggest demographics, Brooklyn is considerably larger than the Bronx and some neighborhoods in Brooklyn (Bed-Stuy and others) have the highest concentration of black people in the country. Obviously not just black people rap, but maybe black artists are more likely to rap than say hispanic artists?
posted by 2bucksplus at 3:02 PM on July 16, 2012 [1 favorite]

There is a Hispanic majority in the Bronx, which is why you find more rappers like Big Pun, Fat Joe, Cuban Link.
posted by wongcorgi at 3:10 PM on July 16, 2012 [2 favorites]

Brooklyn has about twice the population of the Bronx, so I think that is a factor.
posted by the young rope-rider at 4:01 PM on July 16, 2012

There are also quite a few big-name rappers from Mt. Vernon (Puffy, the late Heavy D, DMX), which is just over the line from the Bronx.
posted by deadmessenger at 4:38 PM on July 16, 2012 [1 favorite]

Demographics would seem like a good guess. The 2000 Census had the Bronx population at 48% Hispanic and 35% black; in 2010 this moved to 53% Hispanic and 30% black, making the Bronx the only NY borough with a Hispanic majority. 45.2% of the population speaks Spanish at home. My opinion is that the early to mid 90s rap's image has become codified so that it's harder to become visible if you don't look/sound/dress a certain way, which would present multiple barriers to entry for those who don't immediately fit a mold. Factor that alongside the general push away from New York rap.

That said you can count current sensation French Montana as well as Cory Gunz as recent Bronx artists.

Author Shauna Bickleyabout this book: Lies of the Dead is a mystery/suspense novel set in Cornwall, England.

Liam is a smooth talking charmer, but when the police accept his disappearance as suicide, his older brother Tom finds it difficult to believe and needs to discover what happened.

Andi has a very different view of her brother Liam, and always considered him a disruptive influence, but she has her own problems. She and her husband are separated, and their teenage twin daughters are causing difficulties.

While Tom is clearing out Liam's apartment a woman claiming a romantic involvement with Liam steals some of Liam's papers. Tom receives a guarded warning from lawyers about the woman, but they are reluctant to give him more information until he finds evidence that Liam was involved in something more sinister. Meanwhile Andi is convinced she is being followed.

As Tom discovers what led to Liam's actions, Andi and her daughters are in extreme danger, leaving Tom to realise that truth may have too high a price.

Lies of the Dead is part mystery, part thriller with a little romance, suspense and lots of twists and turns.

Was Jesus God? Main Page

Mainstream Christianity, especially the Catholic Church, says that Jesus was God “from the very beginning” and is of the same substance as the father. The rest of us are sinners and thus of a fundamentally different nature from Jesus. This is incorrect and makes it more difficult for us to relate to Jesus and build a personal relationship with him.

This section contains articles on the following topics:

If Jesus was God, who are we?

  • Jesus embodied on earth like the rest of us. He lost his spiritual awareness and attainment as we all do and he had to regain it as we all can.
  • After Jesus ascended, he qualified to occupy a spiritual office for earth, namely that of the Son of God, the Planetary Christ and Savior.
  • It is technically correct that Jesus was God incarnate, but so are all other people on this planet.
  • After his awakening, Jesus was a conscious incarnation of God, whereas most of us are unconscious incarnations. We too can awaken by following the example and the mystical teachings of Jesus.
  • Jesus came to show all of us the path to a higher state of consciousness. This example has been destroyed by mainstream Christianity. To Jesus, this is the ultimate form of blasphemy.
  • The doctrine of exclusivity was created for political purposes by people who did not understand the nature of Christ.

Read more about this.

The truth about the virgin birth

  • Many Christians want to believe in the lie that Jesus was unique so that they cannot follow in his footsteps.
  • “Virgin” means a woman with a pure state of consciousness.
  • Jesus was conceived in the normal, physical way.
  • The Holy Spirit enabled Mother Mary and Joseph to know that they needed to conceive a child with a special mission.
  • Mother Mary could not get her parents’ consent to marry, so Jesus was conceived out of wedlock.
  • Every child needs to be conceived at a precise moment in order to have the best opportunity to fulfill its divine plan.

Booking It: Has it really been a month?

I guess time flies when you’re reading good books, because it’s time for another month of reading round-up with Life As Mom.  Click the links below to read my more in-depth reviews from the past four weeks.

This month I read two books that will make my Year In Books list:

  • A Praying Life is the best book I’ve ever read on prayer – very deep and well grounded while also being honest and utterly practical.  I can’t recommend this book highly enough.
  • Prodigal God changed the way I understand the Prodigal Son parable and challenged and convicted me in so many ways.  I think any Christian would get a lot out of this book, and any seeker would come away with a better understanding of the Gospel.

I also read two books with Korean themes:

  • The Calligrapher’s Daughter describes one girl’s experience during the Japanese occupation of Korea in the early 1900s through World War II, and although I thought it could have been better, I did enjoy the story.
  • Native Speaker is an unusual book about a Korean-American man struggling to make sense of his life in a story that combines politics, espionage and immigrant story sub-genres.  The book is well written and very interesting, in spite of my soapbox caveat.

Also mentioned:

  • Praying Backwards, while not as jam-packed as A Praying Life, is a helpful and insightful book on prayer.
  • Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day would be great if you’re gluten-free, but otherwise I thought it needlessly complicated the process established in Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, and most people could just stick with Artisan Bread and be happier.

Feel free to hop over to Life as Mom to read more book reviews, or to link up your own.  Happy reading!

IPMA-HR Consortium Testing …Save Time and Money

Do you want to save money and time administering IPMA-HR’s entry-level and promotional tests?

As the demand for online testing increases, we want to stay ahead of the curve and offer you the most cost and time efficient options available.  IPMA-HR is considering the development of consortium testing and would like your feedback on the process.

Consortium testing is, in essence, a centralized test center located within a region that can administer IPMA-HR tests to large groups. The results are then offered to several departments for review. The advantage of a consortium is twofold: candidates only need to take one test, and departments find cost savings while still maintaining high standards in finding the right people for open positions.

Consortium testing . . .

Is an alternative for administrative and budget-conscious departments, gathering together a large group of candidates across multiple departments for testing purposes.

  • Is done at a local community college or other IPMA-HR approved test site.
  • Is administered by an approved IPMA-HR representative.
  • Handles test administration for multiple departments at the same time, saving money and time for candidates and administrators.

Check out the FAQs for additional information.

Please take the quick Consortium Testing Interest Survey so we can gauge interest in this new administration service.

Thank you!

Readibility followup Poll

Dennis Doverspike has recently written two great articles [1 2] regarding readability of assessments. If you missed them, make sure to check them out. If you missed the Poll on how your agency handles the topic, please fill it out below:

If your agency does have specific documented policies, please answer the following questions: Continue reading

Survey: How Do You Provide Test Scores to Candidates?

Over the years we have received several requests for information pertaining to standards for giving test scores to candidates after testing.

We would like to hear from you on this subject. If you can spare a few minutes of your time to complete the survey linked to below, we’ll be compiling the results and reporting to them back here in future post on the Assessment Services Review.

Thank you!

Menu Plan 11/14 – Feeding your family with coupons

11/14/2011 2:48 pm · 1 comment

by Sarah A Thrifty Mom

What is on a the menu at our house?

I get an email at least once a week asking me what I feed my family. Most of them are  just wanting to learn how to cross over from the habit of shopping daily for that days menu plan.  While others are convinced we eat  nothing but processed food.  They see the photos of what I buy that week and can not seem to wrap their brain around the idea of cooking from that weeks promo items and your stockpile.

Some of you “type A” personality’s  are much more organized than me, and I am sure there is a rotation chart or something fancy that would make menu planning easier.  But I do what works for me, I plan my meals around the fresh promo items that I get that week.  As well as what I get in my Bountiful Basket that week.  I then use my food storage or stockpile items, as well as freezer items to plan my meals.

Being that I do not write my menu out a week in advance  I am sharing last weeks menu with you!  Hope it helps you understand that eating from your stockpile can be made a way of life,  is both rewarding and thrifty!

  • Breakfast-Cold Cereal
  • Lunch- Left over Pork Chops and Salad
  • Dinner- Clean out the freezer night… random things that needed to be eat.  Random being the key word… the reason there is no photo…LOL

  • Breakfast-Cold Cereal and Toast
  • Lunch- Salad with Grilled Chicken strips
  • Friday- Hard Shelled Tacos with Spanish rice

  • late breakfast/ early lunch- Blueberry Waffles, Bananas and Juice
  • Dinner-Hard Shelled Tacos with Spanish rice ( yip we liked them so much on Friday, we at them again on Saturday)

Wives and Daughters - Elizabeth Gaskell

Rating: 9/10

For long I've heard Elizabeth Gaskell mentioned in the same hall of fame as Jane Austen: female writers with an uncanny ability to bring to life the society of their times. Now that I have finally experienced the delight of a Gaskell novel, I can see why. At 60 chapters and 650 odd pages, Gaskell's Wives and Daughters is a sprawling read written with seemingly effortless ease. A little patience is always mandatory while reading big fat books and Gaskell rewards patience with some of the most unforgettable characters I've read in a while.

First published in eighteen monthly parts in the Cornhill Magazine from August 1864 to January 1866, Wives and Daughters is an unfinished novel; Gaskell died before adding the final touches to her masterpiece. The story of the charming community of Hollingford, with its gossiping ladies, snobby yet revered Lords and Ladies and most importantly, our sensible, warm-hearted, loving protagonist Molly Gibson and her father, the much respected doctor.

Mr.Gibson decides to remarry and seventeen year old Molly is faced with a new stepmother and a stepsister Cynthia, who is charming, unpredictable and eternally irresistible to the menfolk. Molly's beautiful relationship with the Hamley family, her love for Squire Hamley and his wonderful wife, and the friendship between her and the two sons of the family - Osborne and Roger, form the crux of the book.

Like all great novels, Wives and Daughters is very memorable because of a cast of characters, each of whom are masterfully crafted. The new Mrs.Gibson is an absolute delight of a character that Jane Austen would be proud of. Silly, vain, shockingly and embarrassingly insensitive, determined to remove herself from the stereotype of the evil stepmother, Mrs.Gibson and her comic proclamations are bound to keep you entertained. Indeed in an alternate literary universe, I do wish Mrs. Bennet would meet Mrs. Gibson and they would discuss about their daughters.

Mr.Gibson is a loving father and a sarcastic foil to his new wife. Molly is too straight forward a character, but some of the passages where she confronts her feelings about the man she might love, are beautifully written. Cynthia, on the other hand, is such a brilliantly complex character. Many a time you intend to hate her, her ego and vanity, her 'inconstancy' too, but she more than redeems herself through the affection she shows towards those she loves.

The Hamley brothers are fascinating, and I'd say it is hard not to fall in love with Roger Hamley. He is a literary character who is strong, sensible, kind, intelligent, passionate, with a habit of talking of books and recommending the right ones to to the right people, which, needless to say, I find very charming.

Gaskell's writing is deceptively simple, filled with vivid and witty observations and an eye for irony that doesn't mind mocking societal norms and follies. Some of the several quotes I loved:

'It is odd enough to see how the entrance of a person of the opposite sex into an assemblage of either men or women calms down the little discordances and the disturbance of mood'

"Your husband this morning! Mine tonight! What do you take him for?'
'A man' smiled Cynthia. 'And therefore, if you won't let me call him changeable, I'll coin a word and call him consolable."

The text is peppered with several cultural and historical references that would be lost to a reader if not for helpful notes (provided in my excellent Penguin Classics edition). Gaskell's greatest strength is her ability to captivate the reader and transport them to the world of Hollingford, making them emotionally bonded to the characters. Indeed it is quite magical that just at the moment I told myself it was getting dreary without Mr.Roger Hamley appearing often, two characters in the book say the same thing!

The world Gaskell creates is one which any reader can relate to, brilliantly realistic in its depiction of timeless themes such as friendship, tragedy, debts and money, marriage, love, mother-daughter relationships. That is probably why there is more than a twinge of sadness that Mrs.Gaskell did not live to tie the ends and provide a fitting finale that would satisfy readers. But that, in no way, takes away the fact that Gaskell has given the world a classic that captures human nature in a witty, poignant fashion.

It has to be a special book if after being treated to 650 pages of the story, one still wishes it would go on. If you're an Austen fan and love books set in 19th century England, you are almost certain to enjoy reading Wives and Daughters. There are a lot of characters, relationships and themes that are worth discussing, making this book a great choice for readalongs or book clubs.

There is also the pleasure of knowing that a BBC adaptation is awaiting the reader who has just finished a classic. I'm looking forward to it.

If you have not yet read her Cranford you should try it-I loved it and most people say it is her best novel

JoAnn said...

Great review! The only experience I've had with Gaskell is a short story or two, but this sound like a book I'd love.

Kals said...

Mel U - Cranford is next on my reading list, thanks :)

JoAnn - Thanks :) I can pretty much confidently bet that you would love Wives and Daughters. I hope you can read it soon!

thegalnxtdoor said...

Hey Kals! came across your blog while randomly blog hopping. I am loving your space. Blogrolling you. Will be back for more. :)

Brilliant review! This sounds like something I would love to read, though I don't really read many classics.

Kals said...

Hello, thegalnextdoor, welcome to my blog! I'm glad you're liking it. Yours is lovely too :)

Thank you so much! If you love Austen, this one is bound to be a good read for you.

Joanne said...

I've seen the movie production of Wives and Daughters and it was I need to read the book! Great review!

Kals said...

Thank you! I saw the BBC movie too and I loved it :) Hope you get to the book soon.

Vaishnavi said...

I have never read Elizabeth Gaskell. Would love to begin with this. Your post is an excellent introduction; thanks for sharing :)

Kals said...

Sunday Times 14th Dec 2008

        The Atrium Quartet won the London International String Quartet Competition 2003. Their prize was to make a record with EMI. Since then, although this vibrant Russian group has played all over Europe, their recording career has all but stalled. Until, that is, another competition gave them the chance to make this disc. These are distinguished performances, intelligent, moving, mature. The Beethoven is marked by a beautifully poised slow movement and a deftly delivered scherzo. The Shostakovich seems from first note to last to reside in the ensemble’s collective soul. More, please.

AotA 15: It Won’t Connect

“Who knows what goes through the minds of cellular executives.”

Attack of the Androids episode 15 begins and ends with a bang, and with it, the very last episode of 2011. Joining me tonight is Jeremy Lesniak and Joey Kelley. The rest of the crew will hopefully be back next year, assuming they don’t get blown up by explosions, or fireworks, or anything odd like that.  Also coming next year is our brand new website, so keep an eye out for that over at

We start the show with a discussion about some interesting findings about one of the most popular Android messaging apps, Handcent. Hopefully we can have the author on the show next week to answer some of the questions we tossed back and forth. If I delete something on my device, it should be deleted, not stored in a database somewhere just in case. But, some might disagree. That leads to a short discussion on an article by Paul Thurrott comparing Android to Windows back in the day. Oh, and hey Joey, what’s RedTube? This sounds like another classic episode of AotA.

Android activation’s over the holiday weekend reaches 3.7 million. Is that why my service sucks now? Honestly, it started sucking as soon as the iPhone was released on Verizon. They will supposedly have a fix for the Galaxy Nexus signal issues. Can you issue a fix to the weak glass the CDMA versions seem to have. I’m on my second one, and it’s not looking good.

Here’s something fun to do with your brand new iPad. Let an orangutan play with it until it’s completely trashed. This is how we do cold hard science.

Verizon just having the worst time ever right now. How many outages are you going to have this week? Then, on top of that, you want to reward your loyal customers with a two dollar surcharge if we pay online? Fix your 3G and give us some 4G, then we’ll talk.

Strip out the crap and make it happen. Samsung comes out with some excuses as to why the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Tab won’t see Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich goodness. Sorry, it doesn’t fit. Can you please just make hardware? Why are you making software that is worse than the problem you are trying to solve? Sounds like SOPA all over again to me.

The Department of Defense gave the go ahead for devices running Android 2.2 only. This is according to the Security Technical Implementation Guide overview that just came out. Just wait until you get roms the DOD made. Which rom developers do you think they would hire?

AotA app picks of the week:

JeremyVocaNoteOne click to record a voice note, convert to text and send as an email or SMS. With only a single button-click, record a voice note, have it converted to text and sent as an email (with attached audio recording) or SMS. This is way more useful than trying to write and drive.

JoeyMonopoly – Take a ride on the Reading Railroad. Buy Boardwalk. Go directly to Jail. Buy, sell, and trade the famous MONOPOLY properties, and see the game jump to life with animated features and easy gameplay. This one comes highly recommended by Joey. He says it’s well worth the price, so if you don’t like it, email him.

MatFrontline Commando – As the sole surviving Commando of a renegade attack against a ruthless dictator, you are stranded on the frontline and hell-bent on payback. That’s right, another game from me this week. This one reminds me of Soldier of Fortune, and if you want to play it smoothly, you probably need a higher end device. This one is also a wifi download, which means it’s pretty large, so make sure you have the room on your device.

Where is Peter Jackson when you need him?

To borrow from Steve Jobs, "...you can please some of the people, some of the time..."  There are apparently many who thoroughly enjoyed the book by Garcia and Stohl, and some who enjoyed the Warner Bros film.  How many do you think overlap?  Exactly.

At times, writer/director Richard LaGravenese seems to have departed from the first book of the series in almost Bourne-esque fashion.  You're no Tony Gilroy, senator.  Fortunately, this is still a fun film.  Leave your "I enjoyed the book(s)" expectations at the door (along with some of your prefrontal cortex).  As so often is the case with subject matter which has similar roots in young adult fiction, remember this is brain candy, not Shawshank.

Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Jeremy Irons, and Dame Eileen Atkins -- while this is obviously a Twilight-trumping supernatural romance with a hint of comedy and a Whedonesque twist on the power-laden lead (and Tony "The Hatchet" Gilroy-gutting of the material) -- the supporting cast is excellent and absolutely makes this film.  However, don't expect them to have added any awards to their shelves, thanks in part to the genre.  Considering the cast the studio pulled together, is it any surprise it took two months just to break even?

There is another important element which propels this movie into the above-average young-adult-books-cum-silver-screen-trilogy: the soundtrack.  In contrast to LaGravenese's creative liberties which often betray diehards of the print series, "TheNewNo2" (namely Dhani Harrison, Jonathan Sadoff, Paul Hicks, among others) unashamedly cast near-legendary magic upon each and every cochlea.  This is what we've been missing -- ear candy.  Almost as much as Emmy Rossum's performance, at times this soundtrack is nearly to die for (see track 8).

Any plot summary would risk introducing spoilers -- and really, do we need a summary?  Don't be ridiculous.  There is one spectacular creative departure (think 'enhanced interrogation') that LaGravenese gives us, albeit to the horror of many fans of the book.  Without giving too much away, watch for the (hideously faux) snow and the subsequent scene -- perhaps the most poignant moment of the film.

The numbers.  Creatures currently holds a 46% on Rotten Tomatoes, 6.1 on IMDB, and Meta Critic puts it at 52.  Amazon has the DVD and Blu-Ray at 3.5 stars.  (The book, not surprisingly, fares far better).  The film holds zero awards and only a handful of nominations from a single source, Teen Choice.  How utterly unfortunate.

Is it so difficult for those studio behemoths to appreciate that as location is to real estate, so screenplay is to film?  Stop watering down the material, you archaic cowards!

While $20 to own the HD edition via iTunes seems a little steep, Alice Englert and Alden Ehrenreich stand upon the shoulders of giants to generate something supernatural.  (Englert also performs Needle and Thread, a bonus track on the soundtrack which plays during the heartstrings-tugging scene which, much like Shyamalan's Village monsters, we do not speak of).  In fact, it is Englert's character's bittersweet and crushing sacrifice which makes this movie ascend even further.

While this motion picture might not align with Jackson's typical blockbuster material, it is much better than the numbers suggest.

Strictly by the numbers, this is 3/5.
On Billz Movie Worthiness Scale, this qualifies for two tickets and popcorn, except it's no longer in theaters.
Bottom line: Have I seen it more than once or twice?  I plead the Fifth.

Please keep Richard LaGravenese far away from Veronica Roth's books.  The print fans deserve better.  Don't they always?

Never heard of him

Quick January Update

Thus far, I've avoided a half-assed 2013 reminiscence post on Facebook, but I must admit that the past year has been pretty nifty. For the sake of posterity and internet stalkers, I shall recap the year's major events.

The Year in (Relatively) Major Life Events:

This summer the husband and I made the move from City to Country and began renovations on our very own money pit. We bought the ugliest house on the block, thus setting the bar low. Any change made is a substantial improvement. We'll slap some fresh paint on her this spring, and I'll add to the front flower beds (theme: purple!). She'll shine up real nice.

Began putting down roots! We've been busy cramming plants into the ground. At last count, we've planted 13 trees on our property (which was mostly wooded, to begin with). Apples, cherries and currants are the latest additions. I suspect we have a rogue mulberry bush/tree near the house, and I spent hours picking black raspberries in the woods. They need some cultivation, but unknowingly acquiring two acres of tasty little berries was a wonderful surprise. I have big plans for the 2014 Garden.

Dog: Acquired. GillyDog is a wild beast and a snuggle bunny. She's a keeper.

Bought a new (used) car... and just in time! In doing so, I've become relatively good at driving a manual transmission. Just after purchasing our hot new ride, we blew the transmission in the poor ol' pick-up. Until we scrounge up enough extra money, the truck will be our finest lawn ornament.

Survived SolsticeStorm2013, though our little forest suffered major damage. It seems that our young apple trees will survive, as will the little evergreens and currant bushes. Let's hope the straw atop my strawberries is thick enough! We completely winterized the house (drained everything, even the water heater) and snuggled close to Mr. Buddy for a few days. For Christmas we "abandoned ship", packed the car full of gifts, cats, GillyDog and dirty laundry, and joined the other storm refugees at my parents' house. It was quite an adventure.

Managed another Handmade Christmas, though losing power for a week threw a wrench in my plans.

My wee baby sister is a bride-to-be! OMGSOEXCITING

Successfully completed another year of baking bread. We did, admittedly, buy a loaf or two when life got too crazy (moving, Renovation Week and the ice storm). Still, I must have baked 100 loaves of bread this year, not to mention the countless crumbles, cookies, biscuits, muffins and other treats.

2013 was also another year without TV (though plenty of Netflix and internet videos), a year of fabulous vintage fashion finds, my most successful year as an Etsy artist, a good year for the bookshop, a relatively healthy year for me (mind, body and spirit), and a year full of delicious homemade, home-preserved foods.

Favorite Books of 2013:
The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier (2013 publication)
The best new fiction novel of the year! It's inspired me to try my hand at quilting and reawakened my interest in Quaker history. (Yes, I'm an odd duck.)

Bootstrapper: From Broke to Badass on a Northern Michigan Farm by Mardi Jo Link (2013 publication)
LOVED IT! My favorite new nonfiction memoir -- and it's by a Michigan writer/historian!

Libriomancer by Jim Hines
This fantasy novel is a hoot! References to MSU's library and a certain, quirky East Lansing bookshop made it a real blast to read, even though some of the science fiction references sailed clear over my head.

The City, Not Long After by Pat Murphy (Recommended to me by LeighAnna, who rocks!)

Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler (LeighAnna recommended this one, too.)

The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta

Tam Lin by Pamela Dean
This novel will haunt me for years to come. It is beautiful, fantastical, clever and creepy. An excellent adaptation of an age-old fairy tale.

Fevre Dream by George R. R. Martin
Steamboats. They're pretty rad. Though I don't indend to read the Game of Thrones series, I certainly consider myself to be a Martin fan after reading this historical, dark fantasy. I dig it.

Voltaire's Bastards: The Dictatorship of Reason in the West by John Ralston Saul
Finally, finally, I've finished reading this historical/philosophical whopper! For two years I've savored and avoided this beast of a book. It's the sort of book I'm leery of lending, because I've become quite sentimentally attached to it. Still, I have a special person I'd like to foist it upon. We'll see how he likes it...

The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson
For the past month or two I've been gobbling up these massive dystopian novels. They're hard to describe, but I've settled on "dystopian steampunk alternate-universe philosophical fantasy" which would be suitable for a fan of Harry Potter, looking for a darker, more adult saga. It's good stuff, y'all!

I have big plans for 2014.
With luck, we'll add chickens to our little homestead this spring, as well as countless new garden beds.
A good deer fence is needed, and we'll set up our rain collection system, too.
One of my favorite garden experiments is seeing which saved seeds I can convince to germinate. Fingers crossed for onion blossoms, melons and a huge variety of Marigolds!
I'd like to focus more on working from home, which seems like it'll be surprisingly easy to achieve.
My sister and I really ought to launch our neat website, though it is still in the planning stage...

Sen. Warner on Pruitt confirmation as EPA administrator

mark warnerU.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) comments on his vote today against the confirmation of Scott Pruitt to serve as administrator of the EPA.

“Mr. Pruitt’s views do not align with what used to be the bipartisan national priority of protecting America’s environment. From opposing the Chesapeake Bay cleanup, to denying the science around climate change, to filing dozens of lawsuits against the Environmental Protection Agency as attorney general of Oklahoma, Mr. Pruitt is singularly unqualified to lead the EPA.”

2010 Novitec Rosso Super Sports Cars Edizione 747 Bi-Compressor Engine

The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is already one of the hottest-performing supercars on the market, but some people just don't know how to leave well enough alone. Some of those people work at Ferrari, who've worked tirelessly on the 458 Italia to supplant the 430's already legendary performance. And some of those people work for Novitec Rosso, who've come back yet again with another mod job for the Italian stallion.
2010 Novitec Rosso Super Sports Cars Edizione 747 Bi-Compressor Engine
It takes its name from its rated power output of 747 horsepower: To mark the farewell of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, NOVITEC ROSSO presents the Edizione 747. The world’s leading tuner of the super cars from Maranello turns the lightweight model into one of the most powerful super sports cars of our time. And with its matte yellow and grey paintjob it is also one of the most spectacular-looking cars of our time.
Called the Edizione 747, the custom Scuderia may not be as big as a jumbo jet, but it packs nearly as much thrust. Strapping a pair of superchargers to that high-revving 4.3-liter V8, along with a few more tweaks here and there, brings output up from an impressive 510 horses to a bonkers 747 horsepower. Intercoolers and revised aerodynamic cooling keep the engine running cool.
Twenty-inch NF3 rims wear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup rubber mounted to sport springs that drop the ride height by a further 30 milimeters, available with an adjustable front end that can lift 40 mm to clear curbs and speed bumps at the touch of a button. Novitec's also decked out this particular example with a two-tone yellow and matte black paint scheme, and given the interior a few mods to complete the package.
At the heart of this special model lies the 2010 new NOVITEC ROSSO 747 Bi-Compressor engine that boosts power output of the V8 that normally produces 510 hp / 375 kW by 237 hp / 174 kW. Driving performance improves accordingly: With a sprint time for 0 – 100 km/h of less than 3.4 seconds, 9.4 seconds to 200 km/h and just 22.9 seconds to 300 km/h the NOVITEC ROSSO model is the most powerful and quickest Scuderia in the world. Just as impressive is the top speed of 351 km/h.
The Edizione 747 specification is the ultimate high-end version and is limited exclusively to the Berlinetta model of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia. The layout of the engine conversion corresponds to all NOVITEC ROSSO Bi-Compressor conversions for the mid-engine sports car. Each cylinder bank is fitted with an intercooler and a cogged-belt-driven high-performance supercharger with a maximum boost pressure increased for this version to 0.53 bar.
The intercooling system features its own dedicated water circuit. The radiator of the system is located behind a special centrally placed air duct in the front apron. To guarantee perfect durability even under high ambient temperatures the conversion also includes more effective radiators for water and oil.
The result of this labor is a unique symbiosis of superior power and excellent running smoothness. With a rated power output of 747 hp / 549 kW at 8,500 rpm the NOVITEC ROSSO Edizione 747 Bi-Compressor engine surpasses its naturally aspirated brethren by 237 hp / 174 kW. The increase in torque from standard 470 Nm to 738 Nm at 6,300 rpm represents an enormous plus in low-speed power.
As a tribute to the outgoing Ferrari 430 Scuderia, Novitec Rosso has unveiled its new Edizione 747. As the name suggests, the V8 engine has been upgraded with a bi-compressor to produce a total of 747-hp with a maximum torque of 544 lb-ft. 0-62 mph comes in just 3.4 seconds while 0-124 mph takes 9.4 seconds. To speed comes in at 218 mph. Novitec also threw in a new intercooling system that features its own dedicated water circuit and is given a maximum boost pressure figure of 0.53 bar.
To lend the Scuderia better suitability for everyday use despite the lowering NOVITEC ROSSO offers an innovative hydraulic lift system for the front axle. At the push of a button in the cockpit the front is raised by 40 millimeters. It allows drivers to safely navigate parking ramps, low curbs and speed bumps.
After safely passing over the obstacle, another push of the button reverts the suspension to its original position. If the button is not pushed the front end reverts to its original position automatically once the car reaches a speed of 80 km/h.

Caterham unleashes the extra-light, track-ready Supersport R: Autoweek TV

November 11, 2012

  • Pinterest

Also in this episode: Lamborghini unveils the Aventador roadster, and the NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Phoenix devolves into a brawl.

-- Caterham powers up the Supersport.

-- Lamborghini tears the roof off its Aventador.

-- And the brouhaha that was the Phoenix Sprint Cup race.

I'm Jake with a Monday edition of Autoweek TV. Let's get rolling.

Caterham Cars is adding the Supersport R to its lineup of superlight track weapons. The R model upgrades the basic Supersport trim with more power, comfort upgrades and a 1,200-pound curb weight.

The Supersport uses a two-liter Ford Duratec for power, making 180 hp and 143 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers are low, but at a power-to-weight level, this car matches some of the best from Italy, Germany and Japan.

The kit version costs about $40,000. The pre-built version costs $44,500.

The Lamborghini Aventador roadster was revealed today. The fire-breathing drop top will cost about $380,000, not including taxes.

The kicker on the new supercar is its two-piece carbon-fiber roof, with each piece weighing only 13 pounds. Lambo says it makes for easier handling and storage. The company also added light blue to the color palette, reminiscent of a shade used by the Miura roadster.

Luckily the most important part, the 691-hp, 6.5-liter V12, is carried over from its hardtop sibling.

Kevin Harvick won the 312-lap Sprint Cup race in Phoenix this weekend, but it was hardly the biggest story of the event.

Jeff Gordon intentionally wrecked Clint Bowyer in the closing laps of the race. Gordon said he was retaliating against Bowyer, who ruined top-10 run a few laps earlier. Gordon, Bowyer, and Aric Almirola were involved in the crash.

After, Gordon pulled his car into pit road was headed toward his hauler when Bowyer's team came over. One of Bowyer's crew members grabbed Gordon, prompting Gordon's team to protect their driver. A 20-person fracas ensued, with team members pushing and shoving each other, some on the ground while security tried to break it up.

Both drivers and crew chiefs met with NASCAR officials after the race. The incident is still being investigated.

That's all for today. Make sure to check out our related videos section at come and come back tomorrow.

Until then, enjoy the drive.

One of the biggest challenges facing aviation today is to develop by 2020 technologies and procedures which will allow the global civil aviation industry to grow without increasing its carbon footprint. Surprisingly, most changes have come about not through disruptive tools such as biofuels or all-composite aircraft, but from building on flight performance.

EUROCONTROL has a vital role in the process, gathering relevant data, building capacity among stakeholders to deal with environmental challenges and strongly supporting initiatives with the potential to reduce environmental impact, most notably the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) programme.

According to the 2016 European Aviation Environmental Report: “It is expected that, between 2015 and 2018, the planned European deployment of ‘Block 0’ of the Aviation System Block Upgrades, facilitated through the SESAR Deployment Phase, could result in fuel savings of between 0.8 to 1.6 million tonnes per year, equivalent to 2.5-5.0 million tonnes of CO2.”

The report also highlights the significant improvements which individual ATM flight efficiency programmes will deliver. For example, free-route operations, an initiative which EUROCONTROL has pioneered for many years, have been identified as the single most important en-route airspace improvement programme for the coming years. If free-route airspace operations were fully implemented across Europe, says the report, the distance saved could amount to approximately 46,300 km per day (16.9 million km per year), representing annual savings of 45,000 tonnes of fuel and 150,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

One key role which EUROCONTROL has taken on has been to develop a set of robust, environmental-impact forecasts which industry stakeholders can use to assess the future environmental impact of their operations, and begin the process of ensuring their own organisations will have policies in place to meet the targets which have been agreed at government level.

“We want to be able to provide data of record, as unbiased and as independent as possible, following best practice with methodologies that have been stress-tested and approved within ICAO,” says Andrew Watt, Head of the Support to SES-related Policies Unit within EUROCONTROL Directorate Pan-European Single Sky. “The idea has been to provide a comprehensive suite of impact assessment capabilities that cover noise, local air quality, fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions. The next phase is going to be looking at things like particulate matter, helicopter noise, third-party risk.”

At the end of 2016, EUROCONTROL will publish its first environmental forecast to accompany its long-term traffic forecast. The key to this is the Aircraft Assignment Tool developed collaboratively by EUROCONTROL, the European Commission and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), to generate and map future fleet onto the traffic forecast. This data is then injected into the EUROCONTROL IMPACT integrated aircraft noise and emissions modelling platform to generate the environmental forecast – which will initially focus on CO2 emissions.

Even though there is still much more to be done, the industry’s determination to tackle the challenge is evident – and EUROCONTROL plays a pivotal role in helping stakeholders reach their goal of controlling emissions while satisfying the demands of costumers.

Watch our video and read the Skyway article to learn more on how EUROCONTROL is leading the way to measure, monitor and mitigate the overall impact of aviation on the environment.

Ben joined AWA in 2011, after receiving his Masters degree in Architecture from Tulane University and moving to the west coast.

Ben had an unorthodox start to his architectural career when he was forced to evacuate from New Orleans on his move-in day at Tulane University, in order to avoid the destructive path of Hurricane Katrina. A few months later, Ben returned to Tulane with the unique opportunity to take part in the rebuilding efforts of New Orleans.

His experiences working with those most affected by the destruction of Katrina played a huge role in shaping his understanding of architecture’s role and impact within a community.

Outside of work, Ben can be found on the tennis courts, at the beach, or hiking.

Click here to adopt your pet!

The Chula Vista Animal Care Facility's new shelter opened in the fall of 2001. We now offer many services, including stray and nuisance animal pick-up, acceptance of lost and relinquished animals, assistance for injured and sick stray animals, control of biter, vicious or threatening animals, lost and found assistance, as well as dog licensing. We also respond to cases of barking dog complaints, animals locked in hot cars, fighting animals, and animal cruelty.

If you have lost a pet in the cities of Chula Vista, Lemon Grove, National City or Imperial Beach, please go to the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility to look for your pet right away. Only you can identify your lost pet - do not rely on shelter staff to tell you over the phone whether your lost pet is at the shelter or not. Remember, animals wearing collars, IDs or licenses will often lose their tags. Once at the shelter, if you do not find your pet, you can fill out a lost and found report or leave a flyer. This is a very important step that should not be missed! We encourage all owners to check the shelter in person at least every 3 days as stray animals are taken in daily. Bring a leash with you and any proof of ownership you may have.

The Chula Vista Animal Care Facility encourages owners to spay and neuter their pets. There is a serious pet overpopulation problem occurring right now throughout San Diego county, causing in thousands of unwanted pets to be euthanized (humanely put to sleep) each year. By spaying or neutering your pet before it has offspring, you can be a part of the solution to this problem. Call your veterinarian today or call us for a referral to a local veterinarian participating in a low-cost program.

In addition to the many cats and dogs at the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility, the shelter also has rabbits, birds and even the occasional pocket pet (hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, etc.) as well as reptiles (iguanas, turtles, snakes, etc.). Animals are available for adoption to responsible persons, and adoption fees are outlined as follows:

Cats: $65
Includes spay/neuter surgery (if not already altered), FVRCP vaccination, microchipping, deworming, and a free health exam.

Dogs: $75
Includes spay/neuter surgery (if not already altered), DHLPP and Bordatella vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, free health exam, a free grooming, and Rabies vaccination for all dogs over 4 months of age. Dogs adopted to residents within Chula Vista will also receive a free one-year license.

Rabbits: $20
Includes spay/neuter surgery (if not already altered), microchipping, and deworming

Birds and Reptiles: $5

We hope you will come meet all of our wonderful animals awaiting new homes!
