Following the World Premiere of Daito Manabe's COSMOS commission for Jodrell Bank's Lovell Telescope at Bluedot festival, he joined us in July for our Town Talk to discuss the work.
Developed in partnership with Abandon Normal Devices and SHIFT, this inaugural commission for COSMOS, a flagship international artist residency and commissioning programme, features Tokyo-Based Media Artist, DJ, Programmer and member of design collective Rhizomatics, Daito Manabe.
The iconic structure of the Lovell Telescope presents a unique and unparalleled canvas for Manabe to create this new work. During bluedot Manabe's artwork was projected directly onto the structure of the telescope using advanced projection mapping employing point cloud data gathered by LiDAR* scans completed by Arup.
See the full recording of his talk here and find out more about his creative process and how this ambitious work was realised.
About Daito Manabe
Since 2003 Manabe's genre defining collaborations have interrogated emerging technologies, programming and interactive design, resulting in ambitious creative projects at the cutting edge of art and technology. In 2006 he founded Rhizomatiks, and since 2015 he has worked with Motoi Ishibashi on Rhizomatiks Research, to conduct innovate and ambitious R&D.
Manabe has produced collaborative projects with musicians internationally, including Nosaj Thing, Squarepusher, Timo Maas and Etsuko Yakushimaru. Since 2011 he has collaborated with dance company ELEVENPLAY to create works that explore machine learning technologies and computervision. Receiving media praise (WIRED, Discovery Channel) these projects have toured festivals around the world, including Sónar (Barcelona) and Mutek (Mexico City).
His installation and performances have been presented internationally at festivals including Ars Electronica (Linz), STRP Festival (Eindhoven), Resonate (Serbia) and Sónar (Barcelona). He has received numerous awards including Distinction in the Ars Electronica Prix Interactive division for Particles (2011) and Honorary Mentions for Perfume Global Site (2012) and Sound of Honda / Ayrton Senna 1989 (2013).
Manabe's DJ career extends over twenty years and he has participated as front act in live performances in Japan with overseas artists including Flying Lotus and Squarepusher.
As a creator, he has produced collaborative projects with musicians both at home and abroad. In addition to the direction of music videos by Nosaj Thing, FaltyDL, Squarepusher, Timo Maas, Yasuyuki Okamura and Etsuko Yakushimaru, he worked with Ryuichi Sakamoto on the installation "Sensing Streams." He is also responsible for the visual direction and programming for Nosaj Thing's live set and the technical direction of the live performance by Perfume.
In 2011, Manabe started to work in collaboration with the dance company ELEVENNPLAY to produce works using mechanical learning technologies such as computervision in order to devise new expressions of the body, and other technologies such as drones and robot arms. Those works were shown at festivals including Sónar (Barcelona), Scopitone (Nantes) and Mutek (Mexico City) and was praised by the media at home and abroad including WIRED and Discovery Channel.
COSMOS is a flagship international artists commission and residency for Lovell Telescope. Produced by Abandon Normal Devices, commissioned by Jodrell Bank Observatory, bluedot, SHIFT and Abandon Normal Devices. Supported by the University of Manchester, Rhizomatiks Research, Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, and with public funds from Arts Council England.

The problem with the franchise's operators is very simple. These people can't get anything right.
There is a constant dearth of ideas, and when there are ideas, they tend to be so embarrassing, that they actually become counterproductive, working in Putin's favour.
For example, Novaya Gazeta's journalist Arkady Babchenko, who in 2014 covered the infamous siege of DNR's Slavyansk from the positions of the Ukrainian troops, tried to lash out at the public movement of the Eternal Regiment.
Participants of that movement (at least 1 million of them) marched with portraits of their ancestors (veterans of the World War II) through the streets of Russian cities on May 9 – Russia's Victory Day.
As one could easily expect, Mr. Babchenko managed to garner a few Facebook signs of approval from the liberal media's usual audience. A few hundred people, who last year willingly believed liberal media's stories about the relatives' portraits being government-distributed fakes, approved of Mr. Babchenko's physiological instincts.
Millions of dead soldiers' real relatives however got quite angry at Babchenko and at the media he represents – the pro-Western Novaya Gazeta in the first place. Indignant reactions flooded the Internet and appeared in printed media.
The damage to the anti-Putin franchise from Mr. Babchenko's idea of calling his country's (and his own!) saviours "walking corpses" was bigger than anything the "Kremlin propaganda" could ever invent.
"The convulsive hatred which Babchenko exudes at the sight of symbols of Russia's victory in the Great Patriotic War is actually a good sign. It shows that these are the right symbols, which produce on the likes of Babchenko the same effect, which the Holy Cross produces on the devil," Nikolai Troitsky, a former political commentator at Ekho Moskvy and RIA Novosti wrote on his Facebook page.
The technology of "regime change" is well known and well tested – first you discredit a country's government, making its members look corrupt, outdated and out of touch with reality. Then you provoke that government into using violence, combining the image of a victim with the image of a cool guy – witty, guitar playing and forward-looking in technology. Technical devices have changed, but the principle stays the same, from anti-Louis XVI pamphlets in the eighteenth century to nationalist thugs with Twitter and Facebook during Ukraine's Maidan.
The German news magazine Der Spiegel described the modern application of the regime change technology back in 2004, in the aftermath of the anti-Milosevic Otpor's "revolution" in Serbia in 2001 and Mikheil Saakashvili's "rose revolution" in Georgia.
The name of Der Spiegel's article is "Revolutions GmbH," which can be roughly translated as "The Franchise Named Revolution." The article pays special attention to the "coolness" requirement for the Western-financed revolutionaries – they have to be witty and entertaining, reserving the role of the nerds for the "regime" (a name routinely used by MSM to label any government not supporting the US and the EU with 100 percent loyalty).
"If the fridge does not prevail over the TV set, I will call Russian society a bunch of tramps!" commented in 2015 Yevgeny Gontmakher, an anti-Putin economist and a member of the Committee on Civic Initiatives, a liberal think tank founded by the former finance minister Alexei Kudrin, a darling of the West.
In 2016 Gontmakher had to admit he was still waiting for the fridge's victory, with Putin's rating, as always, well over 80 percent.
The truth is that President Putin is not a nerd, and he is not a dictator, and his policies are not outdated. And Russian television is not nearly as subservient as the CNN or Fox News, which reported that the Syrian opposition had "no Islamist elements" inside it in 2012, when schools were already blown up by suicide bombers in Damascus.
The liberal franchise's technology just does not work, because the realities it wants to see in Russia are simply NOT THERE.
"He [Putin] ran his economy into the ground," President Obama said about Putin in 2015, clearly putting his hopes on the aforementioned fridge (as prosaic as it may seem for the "idealistic President of Hope," which Obama claimed to be). But somehow, it is not the Russian people, but the deputies of the French parliament who are bemoaning the effect of the mutually imposed food sanctions (which are actually giving a boost to Russia's food industry). In April 2016, the French parliament even adopted a resolution recommending the French government top walk out of the sanctions' regime against Russia.
"We have to admit that the EU's exports to Russia fell by 12.1 percent, while before the sanctions there were 1.200 French companies with assets on Russian territory and 6-7 thousand French exporters to Russia," the deputies of the French Assemblee Nationale noted. Calling on the French government to lift the sanctions against Russia, which had no effect on the fulfilment – or rather non-fulfilment of the peace agreements on the Ukrainian conflict – a deputy, Pierre Lellouche, put it bluntly: "It is not the Russian government that does not fulfil the Minsk agreements on amnesty and more self-rule for the Ukrainian regions, it is the Ukrainian political class that sabotages these agreements, divided and corrupt as this class is." One could not possibly put it better.
Now little by little, the nations of the world are going to see: the US-sponsored revolutions are no laughing matter, actually. The foreign-financed clowns may become butchers, like Ukrainian President Poroshenko, who got standing ovations in the parliaments of Canada and the US, when 8 thousand of HIS citizens were losing their lives in Donetsk and Lugansk.


Perhaps you saw the many mocking social media posts last weekend pointing out the rows and rows of empty seats at the LA Rams and LA Chargers games in Week 2 of the NFL season. Both teams are playing in temporary homes — the Rams in LA Coliseum, a college stadium, and the Chargers in StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., a soccer stadium — until they move into LA Stadium at Hollywood Park, projected to open up in 2020 and cost $2.6 billion.
The reasonable conclusion from the low turnout might be that LA doesn't have enough NFL fans to support two new teams. And that, in turn, may look like a reminder of how outrageous the trend is of teams relocating and building $2 billion-plus stadiums, and, often, obtaining public money to help build them.
But it doesn't really matter if the new LA stadium doesn't fill up for games. The pricey stadium trend is likely to continue, because cities — which consist of local construction companies to trade unions to bank branches to architecture firms to hotels — see appeal in having an NFL team and stadium.
It's about enhancing the culture and image of the city, says Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist at Smith College in Massachusetts, and author of a wide range of books that strip back the financial impact of sports arenas and major events like the World Cup and Olympics.
Cities want a new NFL team even though the popular claim teams make when they relocate — that the team and stadium will have a positive economic impact on the local economy — is usually "vastly overblown," Zimbalist says. That's because the majority of the money that gets spent at and around the stadium is spent by local residents who would be spending their money in the area anyway. As for the players, they are generally unlikely to live in the local community, so they're not infusing the area near the stadium with any new money.
And yet, cities keep welcoming new teams. In March, the Oakland Raiders got NFL approval to move to Las Vegas, and team owner Mark Davis plans a $1.9 billion stadium. $750 million of that cost will come from a public subsidy already approved by the local Clark County government in Las Vegas. (The San Diego Union-Tribune called it, "peak public stadium financing.") If the economic impact will be minimal, why grant public money?
When teams like the St. Louis Rams move to LA, or the Oakland Raiders ditching town for Las Vegas, many outraged fans blame the NFL for allowing it to happen.
But it's important to note that the NFL charges teams a hefty fee to relocate. The fee varies, gets paid out over time in installments, and gets split up equally among the other NFL teams. The Raiders will have to pay $378 million, while the Chargers and Rams have to pay $645 million each.
Even with the relocation fee, a new stadium is likely to be extremely lucrative for a team. Apart from ticket sales, which they share with the rest of the league, the stadium owners get to keep all money from sponsorship deals, concessions revenue, and from PSLs, or personal seat licenses, which are fees that fans pay up front for the right to buy tickets for a certain seat at the stadium. Your seat license is like a membership fee you pay each year, on top of the price of your actual tickets.
"Part of the problem with that financing mechanism," Zimbalist says, "is that if the owner gets money for the seat upfront, before the team ever steps on the field, then the owner has less incentive to put a winning product on the field. This works a little bit against the fans' interests." The Atlanta Falcons, playing this season in a brand new $1.6 billion stadium, had already made more than $250 million on PSLs before the season began.
And so, in many cases, with a new NFL stadium, the local economy loses, the fans lose, and the stadium may not fill up for games — but the team owner still wins.

As you probably know the SharePoint 2013 Public Preview was released this week and I'm sure all the designers out there want to know what's new for branding? Well, you will be interested to know that making SharePoint design easier was a key goal for this version of SharePoint. Does that mean that all my professional branding peers are out of work now? Let's check out what's new and then revisit that question. Be sure to scan down the page, I save the most interesting for last (sort of like a David Letterman Top 10 list!).
6 – Managed Navigation – SharePoint navigation now has two different options: the old way, now known as Structured Navigation and the new way which is known as Managed Navigation.
This new method of navigation uses a Managed Metadata term set to populate the navigation control with items. The new method is more flexible and allows for some interesting new uses as you will see including allowing you to make friendly URL's. Another interesting side benefit of Managed Navigation is you get a nifty Edit button next to the both the Global and Current navigation that lets you add, remove, and edit navigation from anywhere without visiting the Navigation option in the Site Settings.
Side Note: Styling this edit mode is going to be a bit of a pain on sites with highly stylized navigation… but that's a good topic for a future post!
5 – Composed Looks – I'm thinking of Composed Looks as evolution of SharePoint 2010 themes… I imagine the product team was trying to make something a little closer to how Word Press themes work(though without changing the underlying SharePoint technologies that make up the look and feel).
Theme URL – Points to an XML file that defines all of the colors you want to apply to different CSS. This works similarly to 2010 except you make your own theme id's instead of using Accent1, Accent2, etc.
The idea here is that you put all this together with a preview file and you can provide configurable "composed looks" for your clients and users to select from and configure to their liking. You can apply Composed looks from Site Settings > Change the look.
4 – Device Channels – Don't be fooled by the name, this has nothing to do with channels as you may know them… we are talking mobile / device specific page rendering here!
You setup Device Channels from Site Settings > Device channels, which allows you to give the channel an Alias (for referencing in the UI and in code) and then "Device Inclusion Rules". These rules are substrings that SharePoint will look for in the browser's User Agent. You can have certain master pages apply to certain device channels (for example: have a specific master page just for iPhones or Surface Tablets). This is a pretty cool feature, you can even use the Alias in your master page and page layouts to have different individual pieces of the page render differently based on the channel. It's kind of like Media Queries in CSS3 only Device Channels don't look at device capabilities (like width and height) they look for keywords in the browser's User Agent.
3 – Web Content Management enhancements – There are probably several enhancements that are new to SharePoint 2013 WCM but the two that stand out to me are: Content Search Web Part and Catalogs.
Catalogs – In SharePoint 2013 WCM you can create a catalog of products and use this catalog to create a robust product web site without creating pages for every item. Imagine having product categories, sub categories, and product detail pages all centrally managed!
2 – No more SharePoint Designer for creating SharePoint branding! – Sure SharePoint Designer was updated for 2013 but you don't have to use it to edit your branding anymore (I'm thinking the name SharePoint "Designer" is no longer appropriate!). In fact you can use any tool you want, including Visual Studio, Notepad++, Dreamweaver… ANYTHING. This feature works because the Master Page Gallery was updated to work seamlessly over a WebDAV mapping. So now, in Windows you can map a network drive directly to your Master Page Gallery and then edit away. Truth be told you could do this to some degree in previous versions of SharePoint, but back then Microsoft locked SharePoint from allowing you to work with master pages and page layouts.
In 2013 the Master Page Gallery is the place where you can put ALL your branding assets including CSS and images. This is a pretty interesting change that takes a little getting used to… but it really is a lot nicer than being forced to use SharePoint Designer or a plugin to Visual Studio to work with your branding files directly on the Site Collection.
Note: I've noticed that sometimes WebDAV can be slow. There is a strange but easy fix to this, see the following post: http://oddballupdate.com/2009/12/18/fix-slow-webdav-performance-in-windows-7/ After making this change my mapped drive to SharePoint is super-fast!
Create and Edit Master Pages – This is probably the biggest change for SharePoint branding folks. From here you can create a minimal master page or convert an existing HTML design. Did that get your attention? Yes, you can actually add an HTML design with CSS and images to the Master Page Gallery and then use this feature to convert it to a functioning master page. You also get a preview of the new master page and a snippet gallery that allows you to copy and paste SharePoint functionality (like navigation, search, web parts, etc.) right into your HTML based design.
You no longer have to edit .master files; you can continue editing your HTML file in whatever editor you like and every time you hit save SharePoint will notice the changes and update the corresponding .master file.
Does this mean that SharePoint branding is so easy now that anyone can do it? Yes and no, if you need to make a branded SharePoint site you probably can do it all from the Design Manager with converting an HTML design and using snippets. However to make a fully branded portal or web site you will still need to understand a lot of SharePoint CSS and you still need to understand how Content Placeholders and a variety of other SharePoint specific technology works.
I'll be very curious to see how the SharePoint branding community reacts to this feature and see where we land with what newcomers can do with SharePoint branding on their own. I tend to think the Design Manager is a great starting point that changes things so that there is no middle level effort branding… either there is branding that anyone can do with the Design Manager or there is advanced branding that you need to understand the underpinnings in order to make things work the way you want.
Create a Design Package – Export your entire design from one place to another (even a completely different server). You can then import the design package to another site collection or server from Site Actions > Import Design Package.
Well, that's the end of the Top 6 list. I invite you to discuss these features as you start to play with them. Do you think the Design Manager is an end-to-end branding solution or are is it more like a really great kick start to the SharePoint branding process? Let me know in the comments!
You can bet I'll be back with more SharePoint 2013 content in the near future but I wanted to get this list up now that the public beta was released.
Randy, Thanks for putting this together so quickly. I think as SharePoint Designers this is one of the most significant changes since 2007 when we first got master pages and page layouts. Keep up the posts! I will be adding some posts shortly as well.
Thanks for this nice post , these features eliminate the gap between the developer and designer.
These new capabilities will accelerate branding efforts for organizations but will not replace branding experts.
Another game changer from the guys at Microsoft. It will be interesting to see how the use of SharePoint for front facing sites grows now any development tools can be used.
For sure , it's gonna help a lot of folks out there !
Thanks for sharing your analysis Randy. Great Post!
Hello Randy thanks for sharing.
Quick question.. Can we Import pages from SP2010 to SP2013 ??
When I tried to do that got the following error message..

Checkpoint was a journal published in Melbourne, Australia, at approximately quarterly intervals, by a group of organisations associated loosely with the Liberal Party side of politics. It appeared from August 1969 (No. 1) until June 1974 (No. 16).

Overview
The journal was published by the Checkpoint Council, comprising representatives from the Deakin Group, the Melbourne University Liberal Club, Monash University liberals, and the Young Liberal Movement of Australia (Victorian Division). Its objective was inter alia "to stimulate party members and the public generally and give an intellectual base for formulating policies".

Many of its activists were young and went on to achieve parliamentary office or who were already in State or Federal Parliament.  Such individuals listed in various Checkpoint issues as being Council Members, Editors or members of the Editorial Board include:  Haddon Storey (later MLC for East Yarra, Victorian Attorney-General), Alan Missen (later Senator for Victoria), Prue Sibree (later MLA for Kew), Julian Doyle (MLA for Gisborne) Peter Falconer (later MHR for Casey), Senator Ivor Greenwood (Australian Attorney-General, Federal Minister), Tony Staley (later MHR for Chisholm, Federal Minister, Federal President of Liberal Party), Alan Stockdale (later MLA for Brighton, Treasurer for Victoria, Federal President of Liberal Party), David Kemp (later MHR for Goldstein, Federal Minister for Education, State President of Liberal Party), Peter Block (later MLC for Boronia) and Andrew Peacock (MHR for Kooyong, leader of the Federal Opposition, Federal Minister).  Others were active simply in the Liberal Party's organisation.  A small number chose another party.

Initial funding came from advertising and modest subscription revenue. Publication ceased when revenue declined and the Checkpoint Council disbanded.

An adventure with mince (aka ground beef)
I have got lots of packets and bottles of stuff in my kitchen for making "easy" meals. Very little of it ever gets used. I think I have had some of it for over 10 years. So I decided to do something about it. I would become a packet cook!
My first effort was to get out my little tin of Keen's curry powder, which was once found in every Australian household. It made curry suitable for people who were used to "plain food". I cooked up some mince and onions, added Keen's toward the end and got a passable meal of mince. There was only the faintest taste of curry to it, however. So I tried again
My theory was that I should first marinate the mince in Keens. So I converted a pound of mince into a slurry by adding water and stirring with my fingers (Indian!). I then added 4 dessert spoons of Keen's and left it to marinate for about 8 hours. I also added salt, two small chopped onions and a handful of mixed dried fruit. I was looking for some stock to add to give it more body but I could not find any so added a dessert spoon of Bisto (normally used for making gravy)
I put the lot into my electric frypan with water and butter, stirred until everything looked to be cooked through (about 10 minutes). And I STILL got no real curry taste in the result. It was very nice mince though. So my mad methods did produce a good result -- just not the result intended.
Master two
Matthew has just turned two. So Susan and Paul put on a party for him. There was a good crowd and lots of good food. Sandwiches cut into jigsaws were a novel approach. Susan is a very creative caterer.
Baby Lizzie got a lot of attention as she is still only days old. I think all the ladies in sight got a cuddle. She was passed from one lady to another without a break. So she slept well.
Matthew spent a lot of time on the trampoline with the other children. One of Susan's friends brought along her two little blonde daughters and both of them enjoyed the trampoline too. The 5 year old was particularly pretty and I said to her mother that she will probably be a model when she grows up. But her mother said that she wouldn't make the height. She is a bit small for a 5 year old and models have to be at least 5'8', preferably taller.
Dusty quietly wandered around by himself in his usual amiable way. Sahara and Russ were absent with the 'flu. Davey and Olivia turned up with their little daughter. Davey looked well, considering.
Ken was very involved with political discussions and Paul was appalled at Palmer and Katter giving the Greens their preferences in the Senate. You have to understand the Australian electoral system to understand what that is all about, however.
Pia mater
Even the birthday cake was in jigsaw shape
Who is that old guy in the background as Matthew is opening his presents?
More visits to the babe
I arrived at the hospital yesterday at about 4pm to find Ken, Maureen and Matthew already there. Ken and Maureen are minding Matthew while Susan is in hospital. Matthew's speech has much improved recently. He speaks intelligible sentences now and can even say such hard words as "avocado". And he never stops talking (Paul's son!), which is wearing Ken and Maureen down a bit.
Maureen grabbed the babe as soon as she could and cuddled it for the rest of the time she was there. She is a good baby-cuddler! The big feature was introducing Matthew to his new sister and there are a couple of videos of that below.
Paul and Susan have the Presidential suite at the hospital so are living as if in a first class hotel. Paul and I spent a fair bit of time talking politics, as we usually do.
After my hospital visit, I drove straight to Anne's place, where I was greeted by a roast lamb dinner. Very nice!
I again went up earlier today at about 6pm, arriving just before Jenny and Nanna. And I got to eat there. Susan had ordered two dinners for herself so gave me one. I got a dessert too! I even ate my vegies.
The babe was good. Susan's milk has come in so the babe was a keen feeder, which kept her pretty pacified.
We also had Von with us via Skype. Von had wanted to be at the birth but Skype had to do.
We talked about politics for a while. Everybody was down on the Greenies and down on Kevvy. Somebody asked me for a definition of Greenies and I replied: "People haters". I was also asked for a definition of Leftism and I repled "People who hate the world around them". You can see why Greenies and the Left get on.
And while I was there Paul managed to get all the pictures off my old cellphone. Their quality was poor, however. The picture I most wanted, however, is recognizable and I add it below. It is of a fig tree that sprang up out of the brickwork of my front fence. I admired such survival and flourishing from such small resources. It eventually put down roots that were cracking the concrete, however, so I unhappily had to remove it. The picture is my memorial to what I saw as an heroic tree! I must be a Greenie of sorts! More likely a Buddhist, actually. I am a great respecter of life. I even avoid killing ants if I can.
A babe is born
Elise Daphne was born to Paul & Susan last night at 10pm. Susan had an expert obstetrician in attendance at a local private hospital and so suffered no tearing or other injury despite some initial difficulties. And the babe was born in the best of pink health. So it was a perfect delivery. She was 54cm long and weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces ....
Elise at about 2 hours old. Already good-looking like her mother
I paid for Susan to go private so am getting some of the credit for the excellent result of the delivery. In my view every cent was well spent if it helped to avoid harm to Susan and her babe
Elise is a name well known to all lovers of classical music after Beethoven wrote a beautiful short piano piece ("fuer Elise") for a little girl named Elise who was learning to play. It has been used as a learner piece ever since so is sometimes not appreciated as the masterpiece that it is.
Elise is actually the continental version of Elizabeth (pronounced eleeza in German) so there is a possibility that she will be nicknamed "Lizzy". I imagine that Susan hopes not.
Parents often have different ideas about the version of their child's name that should be used. My son has convinced most people to call him "Joey" but I call him "Joe". I think his mother mostly calls him "Joseph" when referring to him.
Another picture of the beautiful babe
Mobile phone blues
Mobile phones (cellphones) have definitely exceeded my understanding of them. Ten years ago I could send text messages on them but I got a new one about three years ago that did so many things that I have never quite dug text messaging out of all the available functions. I was pleased that my new phone included a camera and took some photos with it but I have never figured out how to get the pix out of my phone and into my computer. I imagined that some sort of USB cable to connect phone and computer would be needed but none was supplied.
Recently, however, my phone began to play up so I needed a new one. Obviously, the thought came to me, I needed to upgrade from my old button phone to a new-style touchphone. Experience of not understanding my phone, however, had made me wary. Before I bought a touchphone, I needed someone to show me how to work it. So I went to three different retailers, including Dick Smith, and sought to have the product demonstrated to me before I bought it. Nobody had the time to do that. They all told me that I would "pick it up".
"Phooey to that!" I thought, and walked out of the store with my money still in my pocket. So I went down to the post-office and bought myself another old-style button phone for $49. Maybe I will work IT out one day. At least I can make and receive calls and I can at least read text messages. It's got a horrible ringtone that I would like to change but I don't know how to do that either.

Romance and turning points
I think that those who know me would agree that I am not a romantic type of person. And I have no problem with that. But anyone who has been married 4 times would seem to have some claim on being romantic. So let me wander a little through my past. At age 70, such wanderings are, I think, par for the course.
In my teens I was too much concerned with religion to have any interest in women but I do remember two married ladies from my congregation as thoroughly admirable women. I imagine that both Ruth and Sylvia Reynolds of Cairns are by now deceased but I retain my high opinion of them both.
When I was about 19 or 20, I became a member of Ann St. Presbyterian church in Brisbane and joined the PFA group there. I was rather taken with Kay Houseman. I liked the way she did her hair and admired her beautiful blue eyes. But am not sure if I ever got to take her out. She is still known at the church and I believe is now a married and divorced lady.
I did however take out fellow PFA member Rhoda Roberts. She was a sensible, good-natured, down to earth girl. When we were walking past a pub once, however, I said to her that maybe we should go in for a drink. Since we were at the time both teetotal in the best Presbyterian way, it was a joke. But Rhoda mentioned the utterance to her mother -- who thereupon forbad Rhoda to have anything more to do with me. So no romance at that time.
About a year later I met Janet Coomber at a folk-music place. She was my first real girlfriend. She was 16. We did have a rather intense relationship but was it romance? The relationship went on until her parents forbad it so I think it had some claim in that direction. Her parents did not like that I had a beard. I still think Janet was/is an exceptional lady. She used to play me Chopin's Fantasia Impromptu on her goanna. I can still hear it. Surely Chopin is ineluctably romantic? She now lives in France with a French husband whom she greatly admires. Lucky man!
Life after Janet had a lot of ladies in it but the next one that stays in my mind is Isabella Schmidt-Harms. I met her at a Goethe Society function at the University of Sydney. She had the bloom of youth upon her and fitted the Scots description: "a bonny lass". She was the daughter of the West German Consul in Sydney. I took her to a musical -- Man of La Mancha, I think -- but basically did not know what to do with her. I get on easily with English and Australian women but I don't really understand German women at all. I think that German women expect German men to order them about whereas I am more used to good old Anglo-Saxon "signals" to guide behaviour. So I never asked her out again.
I felt rather foolish about that at the time. It would not really have been hard to progress matters further and if romance had developed I might well have followed her back to Germany. My German wasn't too bad at that stage and I would have been fluent within 6 months. And there is a lot of German in my personality -- Prussian punctuality etc. I am even a devotee of sausages! And a diplomat's daughter would have socially elevated contacts so I might have ended up among the movers and shakers in Germany. And Germany is a much more important place than Australia.
I saw all that at the time but deliberately opted out. I could have been a very good German -- the high culture would have suited me greatly -- but it was a lot easier to be a relaxed Australian. I was lazy and unambitious. Still am. So that was a turning point -- a road not taken.
High culture: Dr. Merkel, above, at the opera. She is Germany's "Kanzlerin". She attends the opera regularly. Classical music is widely followed and esteemed in Germany (most of it is German anyway). Most German federal politicians have doctorates (some dubious)
Another such turning point came my way when I was in England and met Margaret. She was/is a member of Britain's hereditary aristocracy -- a genuinely upper-class person. She was/is a lovely lady and wanted to marry me at the time. I seem to have very good acceptance among the upper echelons of English society so I have no doubt that I could have developed my standing in England to whatever degree I wanted if I had married Margaret. But again, life in Australia seemed a lot easier. Margaret is very tall, too, which I like. We have stayed in contact, though very infrequently.
The next possibility of romance is probably my second wife, Joy. Joy was/is a very good natured lady with a very good figure. I met her at Mensa so she was/is bright too. We were together for 7 very amicable years so I think some romance has to be allowed there. We used to dine out every night of the week.
And then there was Jenny, my third wife. She was the only woman to whom I ever gave total committment. But she let me down. She gave me a fine son, however, so there are no hard feelings.
Then there was Geraldine, whom I still think of as my little sweetheart. She let me down too -- repeatedly. But there is still a strong feeling between us. We just don't do anything about it any more.
I met a lot of nice ladies after Jenny and I broke up and I even married one of them! I married big Kath (she was a 5'11" tall redhead and looked great generally) 6 weeks after we met and the marriage lasted 3 weeks! I think that was a romance in the best Hollywood style!
And then there is the present lady in my life -- Anne. I have told her -- and mean it -- that I am with her to the end so maybe that counts as romantic -- in my stiff Anglo-Saxon way.
So I now live an obscure life in an obscure part of an obscure city and am quite happy about it.

While the main course meal is good and all, one of my favorite things about the holidays is sitting in the kitchen, munching on the appetizers while dinner is still in the oven. The kitchen really is the heart of the home, where everyone comes together to graze on the goodies and pass around love and laughter. Some of my family good-heartedly complain about 'too many butts in the kitchen' while dinner is still heating through, but even with the tight squeeze, it's nice to have a room filled with love. I usually have a cheese and cracker tray set out before dinner, but this year I am trying for a more classy approach to the meal (did you check out those adorable cranberry acorn squash from last week?) and thought it would also be fun to set out these Tuna and Red Pepper Appetizers from Golden Blossom Honey.
These appetizers are not only great for Thanksgiving, but I think with the red and green, they would be really festive for Christmas too. Since it's a no-bake recipe, it frees up the oven for other dishes. All you need is a food processor and a knife and you can have these peppers stuffed and on the table fairly quickly. You could even halve baby peppers and stuff them with the filling for a fun football snack as well.
What's your favorite holiday appetizer?
Looks like it will do the trick for those waiting around. haha if we all converged in the kitchen while things were cooking, we'd get kicked out.
such a tres chic arrangement you made! Look lovely and refreshing and almost springy!
I don't do peppers any more as they give me bloating for some reason, but I do sometimes miss the sweet red ones which we use for making paprika.
I agree about us liking the appetizers more. Maybe because meat isn't the main focus on them. I love me some red peppers and would hate to have to give them up. Allison always asks me to buy her red peppers for snacking on. Jason doesn't love any kind of pepper, but will eat them if I put them on his plate. He wouldn't be happy if I made something like tomato stuffed peppers for dinner, but if I saute them or grill them, he's fine with that.
Maybe you should try to stuff them with potatoes and bake them for him, that is the only way I eat them myself sometimes :) I just stuff the long, red, sweet ones (not the bell types) with some grated potatoes mixed with an egg, diced onions, vegeta, maybe some veggie cheese and a bit of oil and then bake them in the oven. If you cut the peppers horizontally and make boats the potatoes will be roastier, if you cut just the top they will be more like boiled potatoes.
My mom loves dicing and stir frying peppers with onions and then adding rice into it and come water and tomato juice or puree and cooking it until rice is done, but I hate it with passion :) We call that 'dyuvetch' in my country. We also eat tones of dry roasted peppers which you then peel, and use as a salad with some oil, garlic, salt and vinegar.
It's not how it's made that's the problem, he says that peppers make him burp and then he can taste them all day long. He didn't mind them in the O'Brian potatoes that I pictured here the other day because there was only a small amount in there. I guess you and him both have a bloating or indigestion issue when it comes to peppers.
yes, peppers, cucumbers and cabbage sort of veggies are among top hard to digest things for most people beside dairy products. Burping thing goes for fried onions too for most people.
I had a HUGE get together with aunt's, uncle's, cousins, cousin's kids, well you get the picture. They want to stop so many get togethers. We're just doing one by Thanksgiving. Then one in the spring. New traditions have to be made.
We're going to my sister's for Thanksgiving. We're all bringing small snack things this year. This would be good to take.
We've cut down on family gatherings in recent years too. As families expand, it's really hard to keep squeezing everyone into one house. We still do the major holidays though, Easter, Thankasgiving, Halloween, Christmas, and maybe a gathering in summertime if someone randomly decides to host a party. It's sad when you have to start cutting down, but necessary when one person is doing all of the hosting or work for everyone else.
That's really interesting and something that I would eat. I try to eat lower carb but during the holidays it's hard. My favorite appetizer is crab stuffed mushrooms.
Those look so good! I love the color and presentation, and I love how healthy it is. It doesn't get much better!
Those are great little appetizers. They are so pretty, which is one of the things you need for a good appetizer. They sound really tasty, too.
Wow! What an awesome appetizer! These look perfect for Christmas/New Years.
Being a fan of tuna, this is right up my alley. I love the addition of red peppers.
You sure know how to turn food into art.
What a fun way to use tuna. That's one thing we don't use all that often, but my kids all like it!
I love this, Theresa! I can eat them all..I usually put my tuna mix on top of cruncy sourdough but pepper is great!
It looks very easy and fun to do! I love bellpeppers and we have tons of it at home. I'm excited to do my own version and will let you know.
This looks like a Delicious app! I would love to recreate this one day no idea honey was in it!

Custom «Alienation in Home to Harlem» Essay Paper essay
The novel "Home to Harlem" describes life of black Americans and cultural change. The main character, Jake, returns from the World War I, but feels isolated and alienated from society and his community. The author portrays a man cannot live in isolation from other human beings and must interact effectively to organizer his life and work. The transactional nature of support processes represents another thread of continuity in social support over the life course. McKay portrays that the development, maintenance, and engagement of support resources is an active process from the first to the last year of life. This is not to say that the person can always manage support resources effectively and with ease, but rather that the behavior of the focal person matters. Indeed, the skills required in dealing with support resources very likely show developmental continuity. Alienation is not natural to human beings because throughout the individual's life, a person engages in an active appraisal of the social world, of relationships with support network members and of the supportive behavior in which they have engaged., differences in support effects, when they are observed, tend to be specific with respect to cause, mode, and outcome although no clear pattern is yet evident. Future research will benefit from valid, reliable, and focused support measures. Harlem is a place when people has to find unique identity and their place in society otherwise they will feel alienation and loneliness in a big crowded community. No doubt questions regarding gender differences will be specific rather than general and will be explored within the context of social-role and sex-role factors thought to underlie gender effects in Harlem. Alienation Using diverse character of Harlem dwellers, McKay proves that among people, social support showed a direct effect on distress, regardless of stress level (that is, the number of life events experienced).

Pemphigus Vulgaris and Foliaceus IgG Autoantibodies Directly Block Heterophilic Transinteraction between Desmoglein and Desmocollin

Anti-desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and Dsg3 IgG autoantibodies in pemphigus foliaceus and pemphigus vulgaris cause blisters through loss of desmosomal adhesion. It is controversial whether blister formation is due to direct inhibition of Dsg, intracellular signaling events causing desmosome destabilization, or both. Recent studies show that heterophilic binding between Dsg and desmocollin (Dsc) is the fundamental adhesive unit of desmosomes. To eliminate cellular contributions to potential pathogenicity of pemphigus antibodies, bead assays coated with recombinant Dsg1, Dsc1, Dsg3, or Dsc3 ectodomains were developed. A mixture of Dsg beads and Dsc beads formed large aggregates, confirming that the heterophilic binding is dominant. The pathogenic anti-Dsg1 and anti-Dsg3 mAbs, which bind the transadhesive interface, blocked the aggregation of Dsg1/Dsc1 and Dsg3/Dsc3 beads, respectively, whereas nonpathogenic mAbs did not. All sera tested from eight patients with pemphigus foliaceus and eight patients with mucosal pemphigus vulgaris with active disease inhibited the adhesion of Dsg1/Dsc1 and Dsg3/Dsc3 beads, respectively. When paired sera obtained from seven patients with pemphigus foliaceus and six patients with pemphigus vulgaris in active disease and remission were compared, the former inhibited aggregation better than the latter. These findings strongly suggest that steric hindrance of heterophilic transinteraction between Dsg and Dsc is important for disease pathology in both pemphigus foliaceus and pemphigus vulgaris.

As long as there have been two computers, there has been difficulty getting them to communicate. Dozens, possibly hundreds, of strategies have arisen, each with their own strong and weak points. However, the end result is that still, it is difficult to get two computers to agree on a strategy for communication. Everyone wants everyone else to change to meet their strategy's needs. Thus, we end up with the "Communication Wars," CORBA vs. DCOM, DCOM vs. RMI, messaging vs. RPC, and so on.
system, or programming language can generate and process XML (that is, text), it can make use of SOAP. Since the initial release, almost every major software vendor has either produced, or announced, an implementation of SOAP. We've seen standalone SOAP, SOAP built into Web servers, application servers, communication tools and even messaging middleware using SOAP. In the future, SOAP will become even more prevalent, as companies and organizations like Microsoft, IBM, Apache, and Sun add even more SOAP support to their applications, operating systems and programming languages.
As the SOAP specification winds its way through the W3 standardization process, I'm certain that we will see changes. However, please don't let this stop you from experimenting and using SOAP in your applications. Yes, there will be changes, but these should be relatively minor, and each implementation should hide many of these details.
I first "met" Scott because of a mailing list--DevelopMentor's excellent list devoted to SOAP discussions (http://discuss.develop.com/soap.html if you're interested in joining). There he tirelessly helped others understand what he obviously thought as an important technology. Therefore, I was glad to hear that he was also working on this book. He has packed a great deal of practical development advice into these pages. I also love the fact that he shows a variety of the implementations available, and that they are all communicating nicely.
I hope that as you read this book, you see why Scott and I think SOAP is so important. So, whether you are a Java developer using the Apache implementation of SOAP, a VB developer using the Microsoft SOAP Toolkit, or a C# developer using .NET Web Services, or one of the many other implementations available, I hope that you join us in using SOAP in your applications. Perhaps together we can all learn to communicate.


Remember how California was going to break off in an earthquake and sink into the Pacific Ocean? Those of us who live along the San Andreas fault in California continue to have our share of earthquakes, and some, like the 1994 Northridge Quake, are pretty shaky, but it looks like we're going to remain attached to the rest of the country. Washington State, on the other hand, could be in real trouble, along with Oregon and part of Northern California. Those states sits alongside a major undersea fault called the Cascadia subduction zone, which seismologists say has the potential to wreak immense destruction, including triggering a tsunami.
If you live pretty much anywhere on the West Coast, earthquakes and associated tsunamis are a very real threat. But usually, the first inkling that one is occuring comes when the floor starts shaking, which provides pretty much zero time to take safety measures. More time would be better.
Maybe that warning period will increase. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has kicked in another multimillion-dollar grant to three West Coast universities to continue developing a new earthquake warning system called ShakeAlert.
U. of Washington scientists will study implementation of a network of sensors on the ocean floor to provide early warning for quakes emanating from the Cascadia subduction zone.
According to the Moore foundation, the system would provide seconds to minutes of warning before shaking begins. That would help individuals, public services and companies take various safety and life-saving steps, like halting elevators at a floor and opening their doors, and slowing down trains and activating emergency systems, among other response.
Earthquake warning has been an ongoing interest for the Moore foundation, which has been helping to fund ShakeAlert since 2011. It had already sent $6.5 million to Caltech, UC Berkeley, University of Washington and the U.S. Geological Survey.
It's a public-private partnership. Federal money paid for some of the system's $38.3 million development cost. Once operational, it'll take $16 million annually to keep the system running.
Moore's interest in a technological solution to a public safety threat is not surprising: Gordon Moore amassed fantastic wealth as a co-founder of Intel Corp., where he was part of the microprocessor technology that pretty much changed everything in the last few decades. The Moore Foundation has given away more than $1 billion so far, and has directed most of it to environmental, health and scientific causes—all of which are pretty neatly wrapped up in a system like ShakeAlert.
Earthquakes, of course, are a serious threat to public health, apart from the billions in damage that the larger ones cause. In the Loma Prieta earthquake that hit the San Francisco area in 1989, dozens of people died and thousands were injured.


A $70,000 grant from the Foundation to High Plains Public Radio, will provide needed support for regional programming in Northwest Kansas.
High Plains Public Radio broadcasts a mix of news, music and cultural programming across Northwest Kansas, including 17 counties in the Hansen Foundation service area. In addition to national and purchased programming, High Plains also produces a variety of regional features and news content. Well-known programs include People of the Plains, Book Bytes Agland, High Plains Outdoors, Prairie Tayles and Today in High Plains History.
The station produces 35 hourly regional newscasts in addition to the programs and publishes three or four regional stories each week on its website.
The station is also engaging listeners across the plains with through a Radio Readers book club that encourages listeners to read a themed book, and discuss it online and on the air.
The grant will help offset the translator and transmitter costs of the station's towers in the Hansen service area as well as to help with production costs for the regional programming.

UK's only gender identity service for children rated inadequate by CQC
UK NewsPublished: Jan 20, 2021 Last Updated: Jan 20, 2021
The CQC found more than 4,600 young people on the waiting list for treatment at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.
General view of the Tavistock Centre in London
An NHS mental health trust which provides treatment to transgender children has been rated inadequate by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), after inspectors found vulnerable young people "were waiting too long for treatment".
Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, which runs the UK's only gender identity development service (GIDS) for children, was told by the health regulator it needed to significantly improve its services and waiting times, after it found more than 4,600 young people on the waiting list – with some waiting more than two years for their first appointment.
In response to the CQC report, the trust apologised to patients for the long waiting times and announced that it is bringing in experts from outside the service to help with improvements.
It comes after the trust paused new referrals for hormone treatment following a landmark High Court ruling in December over the use of puberty blockers.
The commission said it carried out the inspections in October at the GIDS clinics at the Tavistock Centre in London and in Leeds following concerns by healthcare professionals and the Children's Commissioner for England over "clinical practice, safeguarding procedures and assessments of capacity to consent to treatment".

In its report published on Wednesday, the CQC said: "Staff did not always manage risk well.
"Many of the young people waiting for or receiving a service were vulnerable and at risk of self-harm.
"The size of the waiting list meant that staff were unable to proactively manage the risks to patients waiting for a first appointment."
On how safe the service is, the CQC said it required improvement after it found high caseloads added pressure to staff, with one person found to be dealing with a caseload of more than 100 young people while 65% of staff had a caseload of more than 40.
The report states staff had only recently begun to clearly record the competency or capacity to consent for young people who might have impaired mental capacity.
It said: "Staff had not consistently recorded the competency, capacity and consent of patients referred for medical treatment before January 2020. However, since this date these decisions had been recorded.
While the service was rated inadequate overall, the CQC praised staff for treating patients with "compassion and kindness", and that they "respected their privacy and dignity, and understood the individual needs of patients".
But it said staff "did not always feel respected, supported and valued", and that the service was not consistently well-led.

Former patient Keira Bell, 23, who began taking puberty blockers when she was 16 before "detransitioning", took legal action against the trust after she argued that children cannot properly consent to taking the treatment.
Two months after the October hearing, the High Court ruled children under 16 needed to understand "the immediate and long-term consequences of the treatment" to be able to consent to the use of puberty blockers.
Kevin Cleary, CQC's deputy chief inspector of hospitals, said: "We identified significant concerns and took enforcement action by imposing conditions on the registration of the trust."
He said concerns were fed back to the trust as well as NHS England and NHS Improvement, adding: "We were extremely clear that there were improvements needed in providing person-centred care, capacity and consent, safe care and treatment, and governance.
"In addition, vulnerable young people were not having their needs met as they were waiting too long for treatment."
Following inspection, the trust is required to report to the CQC on a monthly basis so it can monitor the progress of improvements being made on waiting times.
A spokesman from Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust said: "We take the CQC's report very seriously and would like to say sorry to patients for the length of time they are waiting to be seen, which was a critical factor in arriving at this rating."
He said improvements are being made, adding: "We are already finalising plans to bring in senior clinical and operational expertise from outside the service to help us implement the necessary changes and consider how we can improve on current processes and practice – including how we standardise our assessment process."

Dispersal order for Shrewsbury town centre amid anti-social behaviour worries
Boris Johnson 'unfit for office', says former Scottish Tory leader


A 44-year-old local man was arrested on Friday by Kingston Police after they said he threw a temper tantrum and repeatedly threatened to kill his roommate over a thermostat dispute.
The argument started when the victim returned home and discovered the residence was very hot. When the victim adjusted the thermostat, the man became angry and started to yell and swear and threaten to kill him, police said.
The victim retreated to his room and locked the door, at which point the man began kicking at the door while continuing to yell death threats. The door was damaged as a result.
The man failed to gain entry into the room and eventually stopped.
On Saturday, the victim called the landlord to report the damage to his door and to have it fixed. The accused became enraged, police said, when he overheard the conversation, and began yelling more death threats. Police were called and the accused was arrested.
The man was transported to police headquarters, where he was held to attend bail court on Sunday. The accused was charged with two counts of utter threats to cause death and mischief.

Maximize the performance of your EMC CX3 or CX4 series SAN. The EMC 005049166 / CX-4G10-600 / 118032664-A01 is a 600GB 4Gb/s 10k RPM FC hard drive. All EMC hard drives sold by SPS Pros are previously used, and backed by a 60 day warranty against defects.
The CX-4G10-600 is also known as part numbers 005049166 & 118032664-A01. Various EMC 600GB 10K hard drives are manufactured by Seagate with the unique part number ST3600002FC.
The EMC CLARiiON CX-4G10-600 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) 600 GB hard disk drives dramatically increase performance through improvements in disk operations such as rotational latency and seek rates – the factors that most directly affect access times. The 600 GB 10k RPM hard disk drives deliver 3.8 ms average read seek times and 3.0 ms average rotational latency times – both the fastest available for drives of these capacities available on the market.
Using the 10k RPM drives such as part numbers 005049166 & 118032664-A01 in applications that use small block, random I/O is an important factor in realizing higher performance benefits. These applications have a tendency to minimize any caching advantages of the storage system. In addition, with applications such as these, the physical access to data on the disk has the greatest effect on overall performance. These small block, random I/O applications reap the greatest benefits from storage-system performance improvements achieved through the drive's improved seek and rotational latency times.


I suppose you can trace my involvement in StarCraft back to the turn of the millennia. A close friend of mine who I shared a name with had Brood War on his PC, and I was indoctrinated into the world of Real-Time Strategy. I still fondly remember playing through the campaign of the original game at 3AM as my friend and I took turns trying to beat missions. This gaming session was one of many of my childhood, a youth littered with keyboards, controllers, and competition.
Video games only make up half the story, however. I was lucky in that I was drawn into the world of stories before I was old enough to walk. Once I was ambulatory, it was a struggle to keep me away from the bookshelf. Whether I was reading or being read to, I grew to love the words and worlds that inhabited the pages. I devoured novel after novel, many of them in a single sitting. Even today, I persist in my pursuit of literature.
Despite my passion for reading, I never saw myself as a particularly notable writer. I even failed a state writing test in grade school, and was put in remedial writing classes. It wasn't until eighth grade when I was thrown into the UIL Scholastic competition for timed writing that I finally discovered that I had any talent. With zero practice and all of an hour's notice that I was going to be competing, I managed to place second out of a field of fifty, a feat that did not go unnoticed by my teacher.
Mrs. Boone taught what was essentially an extracurricular class for gifted students, and I had gotten in because of my mathematical skill. She had placed me on the school's team for the writing event for reasons unknown to me, but I would like to think it was because she saw something in me that needed to be developed, something that I was ignoring. She had a knack for nurturing, and I give credit to her for setting me on the path that has led to where I am today. Without her fortuitous foresight and her words of encouragement - "You are exceptionally perceptive. Don't ever lose that" - I wouldn't be a writer at all.
Fast forward to 2010, the sequel to StarCraft is soon to come out. I'm now in high school, and the same best friend I had from grade school tells me of its release. I am excited yet again with the prospect of custom games and interracial warfare. In my stumbling around looking for content about the game, I find Day9's YouTube channel. Like many of us here, I was drawn in by his personality and comedy and began to follow his daily show. In one of those shows, he mentions a site dedicated to StarCraft that he frequents: Team Liquid.
After some lurking, I finally make an account. Six years ago today, yamato77 was registered on Team Liquid, the username an homage to the Battlecruiser's special ability. The rest, as they say, is history; posting history. In my time, I have posted almost ten thousand posts of mafia, balance arguments, general discussion shitposts, and general forum mistakes. It was only natural that I be drawn to this forum community. Text-based communication is my forte, video games are one of my favorite things, and the combination was a match made in nerd heaven.
Since then, I have branched out in ways I never did when I was younger. I can truly call myself a part of multiple different groups of people spread across these Liquid websites. The Team Liquid Mafia forum was my first venture, one I will not soon forget. Though I no longer have the time to commit to playing, the bonds I made with some of the other members of the forum have been enriching. Without those first connections, I would not be where I am today as a staff member on the website.
From the Mafia forum, I was introduced to the fledgling League of Legends community on Team Liquid. Before the Curse merger and LiquidLegends, the off-topic thread in the subforum was home to quite a few personalities, many of them I am now lucky to call my friends. This year, I traveled to Washington, D.C. and to Austin, Texas for the first time in my life to meet these people. They are strange and goofy but I nonetheless enjoyed their company, the time and money well spent.
Some of you probably know me from LiquidDota, so I suppose I should explain how I went from one MOBA to the other. You see, it all started with a beta key I got from a Team Liquid forumgoer back in 2012… 1200 hours later, and now I write for the fan site and play in inhouses with other tryhards like myself! I never would have had a shot at writing for the website, however, had it not been for being noticed for the other writing I have done for Liquid as a member of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive coverage team.
The origins of my involvement with the subforum are murky at best. Liquid picked up a Counter-Strike team as the game exploded in popularity, and thus the subforum was created. Back then, I had no aspirations to being an esports writer, I just wanted to play CS. I found out about the community 10-mans, and slowly but surely worked my way into the group. The 10-mans eventually dissolved but they had given me the chance to talk to the section head at the time about writing an article.
Five hours later, I had the groundwork of my first piece. I am still proud of it to this day. NA CS: A Comprehensive Look at Underperformance was my breakthrough into the world of esports coverage. From there, I became a trial member. Many months later, I was promoted to full staff. Along the way, I have produced many pieces of content, every one of which I can say I have enjoyed making. It's been quite the ride, and it's only just begun.
Hapahauli, for recommending me all kinds of media, from games to anime to movies, and for playing DotA with me despite my terrible carry ways.
LordTolkien, for badgering me to come to D.C. and get out of my shell, and for helping me edit the monstrosity that was my first draft for NA CS.
Amazingxkcd, for giving me a shot at writing in the first place. Without your encouragement, I probably never would have taken the plunge.
TheEmulator, for being receptive to me wanting to write about DotA and bringing me into the LiquidDota fold.
Onegu, for being a good friend to me and always being supportive of my ventures, and for sending me imported RedBull from Thailand! Some time, we should play another mafia game together, for old time's sake.
For everyone else who I have met and talked to along the way, I thank you very much. Team Liquid means a lot to me. It always will. I have grown tremendously under the wings of the horse. Here's to six more years.
Gratz on the 6 years. I just passed mine in May. And gratz on the TL staff. You do have a knack for writing. Good luck in the future. Now sign up for my mafia game. At least one staff member from liquiddota has to sign up for a Dota 2 mafia game.
There was no question when it came to asking you to write stuff for LiquidDota. Once you started writing CSGO stuff I had already been thinking of asking you to write for us as well (since I knew you played dota already).
Grats on your 6 years btw!
I can only wish you keep up writing amazing pieces. I always enjoy reading your stuff, and it remains a source of inspiration when writing.
yay welcome to the 6 years club.
