I owe a lot to Jason. He gave me the push I needed to start blogging, podcasting, and get more creative with video production. With his support I began to discover just how much I loved teaching technology.
We did a lot of co-working at Austin's Coffee House. That's me, Tyler Hunt, Jason Seifer, and Thomas Meeks.
I always admired how easily he could be silly and make people laugh. As we grow up we often lose touch with that playful and silly side of our personalities, and it's unfortunate. Even though we weren't close these last few years, I miss you Jason, and I'll forever be appreciative of the impact you had on my life.
Deeply saddened to see such a wonderful personality leave us. My prayers and condolences are with the friends and family.
Hey Greg, I am sad to see one of your business partners leave us. I was in the same situation as well. I share your sadness completely.
My heart goes out to you, Gregg. I have several memories of Jason over the years. He will be greatly missed.


At the start of the school year the Arizona heat is still in full force. Below are some important summer tips to share/enforce with your children.
Before prolonged physical activity, children should be well-hydrated and should not feel thirsty. Water or a sports drink should always available and they should drink every 20 minutes while exercising in the heat. While water fountains are available, it is a great idea to send your child to school with his/her own water bottle (filled with water only).
Before going out in the sun for prolonged periods of time apply sunscreen. Try to find a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection written on the label or the words "broad spectrum". This simply means that the sunscreen provides protection for both kinds of rays.
A hat, sunglasses, and loose fitting, full length clothing can also help protect your kids from the harmful effects of the sun.

Black Pro-Lifers: If "Black Lives Matter," Why Don't They Protest Abortion?
Katie Yoder Dec 11, 2014 | 5:17PM Washington, DC
Each and every life matters – but, as the media cry "black lives matter," they conveniently forget the millions of black babies destroyed in abortion.
The phrase "Black Lives Matter" surfaced in the news and on social media after a grand jury's decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson for the murder of 18-year-old Michael Brown last month. The mantra continued after a viral video showed Eric Garner's death after a confrontation with New York police. From the beginning, the media pushed the phrase – while, at the same time, ignored a Nov. 27 CDC report revealing 78 percent of the babies aborted in New York City in 2011 were black and Hispanic.
In correspondence with MRC Culture, pro-life leaders like Dr. Alveda King responded by claiming, "if [the media] really thought that black lives matter they would be protesting abortion on demand." Former Rep. Allen West called out the "hypocrisy" of the "new leftist progressive soundbite" while The Radiance Foundation's Ryan Bomberger asked, ""[H]ow sincere is the mantra that #BlackLivesMatter if the violent act of abortion and the disproportionate slaughter of unborn minority children is praised as 'reproductive justice'?"
The Media Frame 'Black Lives Matter'
During the broadcast network news shows, ABC, NBC and CBS reporters either incorporated "black lives matter" themselves or played clips of others using the phrase.
While reporting on the Garner story, CBS correspondent Jim Axelrod told an agreeing protester what was happening: "It's a very diverse crowd, but a largely white crowd yelling 'black lives matter!'" during "This Morning" on Dec. 5. That same day, during "Evening News with Scott Pelley," CBS showed a Boston crowd chanting "black lives matter!"
The phrase cropped up in CBS' report of Ferguson too. The day before the CDC released the abortion report, Nov. 27, CBS "This Morning" host Anthony Mason stressed how "The slogan 'Black lives matter' is a frequent chant among protesters after the Ferguson shootings." "It's a reminder," he said, "that race relations in America are still a work in progress."
ABC's mention came from Ron Claiborne during "World News Tonight" on Dec. 4. Claiborne commented, "New York City's mayor, speaking about telling his own son, Dante, who is biracial, about what he called the 'dangers he may face' from police" after Garner. "This is personal," Mayor Bill de Blasio said in the clip cut by ABC. "People need to know that black lives and brown lives matter as much as white lives."

NBC boasted the most mentions. The first showed New York's Thanksgiving parade protesters chanting "Black Live Matter!" for the camera in response to Brown on Nov. 28 NBC's "Today."
In Ferguson on Nov. 28 – the night of the CDC report's publication – Ron Allen reported for NBC's "Nightly News." He played a clip of a protester urging, "If black lives don't matter, Black Friday shouldn't matter." That same clip played again Nov. 29 on "Today."
Passing on the spotlight, NBC's "Nightly News" on Dec. 3 featured NAACP Legal Defense Fund Litigation Director Christina Swarns as she declared, "[t]hese are people's children that are being killed." She continued:
And you cannot have that happen and have no response. And so it's really a cry to be heard. There's a cry to be recognized and understood that their lives, that black lives, matter.
On Dec. 4 with Stephanie Gosk reporting, NBC's "Today" again played a snippet from a Mayor Bill de Blasio speech, as he said, "Our history sadly requires us to say that black lives matter."
For the same show the next day, co-host Savannah Guthrie asked New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo about Garner. "We were just showing a sign of somebody saying 'Black lives matter,'" she stressed. She probed:
"[W]hat people in the streets are saying is there's essentially two justice systems here in this country, there's one for African-Americans and there's one for everybody else. Do you agree with that? Is it about race?"
Imagine a reporter asking that about abortion.
Pro-Life Leaders Respond to 'Hypocrisy'
Black lives matter to the media – but not all of them, according to champions of the pro-life movement. Not once did the networks air the news that, in New York City, 77.56% of the abortions in 2011 destroyed black and Hispanic babies.
"The liberal media looks the other way on this," Priests for Life Pastoral Associate and African American Outreach Director Dr. Alveda C. King told MRC Culture.
The niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. urged, "Pray that people will see right through their propaganda." She continued, "The media has another agenda; if they really thought that black lives matter they would be protesting abortion on demand."
She highlighted how the media "often stirs controversy to boost rating" and "support[s] abortion on demand." "This media category ignores the fact that the abortion industry targets minorities," she said.
"Even Planned Parenthood tweeted support for Ferguson using the Black Lives Matters hashtags," she stressed, "and yet they abort more black and Hispanic babies that any other abortion provider in America."
In correspondence with MRC Culture, Former Rep. Allen West also commented on the media's behavior. "The left and their media accomplices have discovered a new empty slogan but there are those of us who recognize their hypocrisy and the shameful policy of the soft bigotry of low expectations," he acknowledged.
He called the "black lives matter" motto the "new leftist progressive soundbite." "But actually," he emphasized, "only the black lives that serve the progressive socialist agenda matter."
That not only excludes the "millions of little black babies who will never know Dr. King's dream as a result of abortion" but also the "hundreds of young black men dead from gang violence in the failing inner cities" and the lack of a "quality education via the means of school choice," he said.
The Radiance Foundation's Ryan Bomberger (a pro-life advocate conceived in rape) told MRC Culture that, "Mainstream media does everything it can to protect the most racist institution in America that actually kills for a living—the abortion industry."
"#BlackLivesMatter is a potent hashtag, but filled with false accusations and distorted context," he said, and the "[m]ajor news media would rather foster hatred than healing."
"There is racial injustice," he admitted, "but the noise of the victim evangelists obscures the cases, like Eric Garner's, that truly deserve justice."
"[H]ow sincere is the mantra that #BlackLivesMatter if the violent act of abortion and the disproportionate slaughter of unborn minority children is praised as 'reproductive justice"?' he challenged.

Local company creates new game sensation
"Spore" is a videogame. But it is also part YouTube and part motion picture. In its first 2 weeks, it sold more than a million copies -- at nearly $60 million, that's a box office gross greater than half the movies released this year.
Imagine a project where more than 100 people spend three years working with characters and special effects and lots of editing, all followed by reviews and box office numbers. Sounds like the movies. Except that the people in this room in Emeryville aren't stuck on some god-forsaken location for months at a time. And they get to enjoy way more caffeinated energy drinks!
They created "Spore" in the Emeryville studios of Maxis, home of "The Sims", one of the most successful games of all time.
"We have a really good mix." says Morgan Roarty, Senior Producer for Electronic Arts, the parent of Maxis. "We have a lot of old school Maxis folks who worked on 'The Sims'. A lot of the people came in as interns and got hired the following year. They all love games. So, it's a really interesting team, very passionate."
The YouTube part is user-generated content. In Spore, you create your own creature, tweaking eyes and adjusting limbs. As your creature earns points in the form of DNA, it evolves on its own. You can even have it mate with others of its own species. Later, in a galaxy of planets online, you watch your own spore encounter critters created by other players around the globe. You can sing Kumbaia with their creatures. Or you can devour them. (Just like real life!)
By the way, real life briefly intruded in the form of a class action suit in Northern California, by some consumers upset with the copy restriction software installed along with the program. The publisher has since increased the number of copies a user is allowed.
But, already, Spore is well on its way to becoming a phenomenon. So, how are the team celebrating? They're not. They're still working on the program.
"You reach a point," laughs Roarty, "where you're just spent working on it. And you just want it to be over. And then, when it's over, you're like, 'Arghhh! You know, there are so many other things I want to put into it!'" For more on this, check out the official site.


The four best cocktail addresses in São Paulo are with a renewed offer. Frank Bar: head bartender Spencer Jr. has made great and creative drinks, both in content and form.
Consider Black Friday when thinking about your dream travel. At Maksoud Plaza, in São Paulo, Brazil, from November 22nd to 26th, you will be offered a 40% discount on all room categories for stays between January 2 and February 24, 2019.
The Day of the Bride is a very special occasion for a woman. It is the day to forget everything (all the stress and rush to prepare for the wedding) and to rest, relax and direct her thoughts only for the great day. Therefore, it is perfect to choose a nice place that can provide moments of calm, tranquility and peace.
A Vino, in the lobby of the Maksoud Plaza, opened three months ago; its kitchen, inaugurated a few days ago, is worth the visit. The place, which is a reduced version of the Vino Pinheiros (a São Paulo neighborhood), is a mix of wine bar, shop and restaurant. In 40 square meters, the project gracefully accommodates the kitchen, a balcony with 14 seats, and shelves with bottles all around.
The Christmas night at the hotel will have the music of the Maris Teca Band and one of the city's best gastronomy. The venue will have a special decoration and will be visited by Santa Claus, an attraction that promises to thrill kids and adults with a heart-pounding surprise. For the arrival of 2019, the hotel prepared attractions so that there is no shortage of reasons to spend New Year's Eve in São Paulo. In addition to spending the night a block away from Avenida Paulista, the most traditional of the city, the banquet and the party promise to be memorable, following the characteristics of this party that is already tradition in the region.
The first official definition of cocktail was published in The Balance and Colombian Repository in 1806. [...] Today the situation is this: bartenders are in the spotlight, participate in several competitions on a global scale, and are stars of some of the most coveted bars in the world. The bartender Spencer Amereno, head of the bar of the Hotel Maksoud, indicates the drink Dead Habit, an allusion to the saying 'old habits die hard'.
São Paulo is full of bars for those who want to relax after an exhausting day of work or simply chat with friends. In order to help you choosing the right venue and drink, we have selected the five best in the city, among them the Frank Bar.
The Christmas event includes dinner and live music with the Maris Teca Band, as well as a special decoration and the visit of Santa Claus to please the children.
The Maksoud Plaza Hotel has a privileged location: in the heart of São Paulo, a few meters from the famous Paulista Avenue.
Elected the 86th best bar in the world by World's 50 Best Bars, it is located in the lobby of the Maksoud Plaza hotel.
Until the end of the month, Frank Bar will be present at the Coletivo Mescla with renowned bartender Gabriel Santana.
The Hotel's promenade welcomes, for the first time, the traveling fair Coletivo Mescla, which offers gastronomic options, decoration, fashion and design.
Barmen from Frank Bar and Benzina prepare inventive drinks such as the Sweet and Spicy Martini, re-reading the classic dry martini with black peppers and white cocoa.
Open to the public, the Coletivo Mescla Maksoud will have live music, several attractions and the presence of important brands.
The brunch will be available every Sunday featuring a special menu with an extensive variety of cold cuts, fruits, breads and non-alcoholic beverages such as seasonal fruit juices, detox and flavored water.
The traditional Maksoud Plaza brunch is back on the extended Children's Day holiday (Sunday 14), with activities for children and family relaxation in the restaurant 150 Maksoud.
Suggestions of packages for the holiday next Friday, October 12.
In its tenth edition, the publication placed three Brazilian bars in the top 100, including Frank Bar.
The Maksoud Plaza Hotel has prepared a special package that includes an awe-inspiring panoramic tour during the October 12 holiday.
Culture and eastern flavors inspire the creations of the head bartender Spencer Amereno.

Rise of the sociocrats
Over the last several years, Yukon College has slowly been adopting a new organizational structure called sociocracy. It is nothing short of a revolution in the long-established power structure seen in many institutions.
James Munson
Over the last several years, Yukon College has slowly been adopting a new organizational structure called sociocracy.
It is nothing short of a revolution in the long-established power structure seen in many institutions.
Here's how it works: An autocracy is a top-down decision-making organization – rule by a minority. A democracy is the rule of the majority. But a sociocracy is rule by the group, meaning members seek the highest achievable consensual solution to a problem.
If you're part of a sociocracy, you're never going to be sidelined by a decision made in a crisis.
The methods of achieving one are pretty straightforward. You make decisions by consensus rather than a vote.
A large organization will have many circles who achieve consensus within themselves and then pass the decisions up the ladder to the next circle in a hierarchy. And elections are by consensus too.
This may sound familiar. Many political and social aspects of First Nation cultures involve consensus. Nunavut and the Northwest Territories use consensus in their legislatures, and so did the Yukon before 1978.
Depending on your boss or parents, your company or family might be pretty sociocratic as well.
But for the most part, power flowing from the strong or the majority has long been preferred because it is easier and seemingly more efficient.
"Your boss can ignore you and he has the power to do that," said Gerard Endenburg, one of the leading thinkers behind sociocracy, who spoke at a conference last week at Yukon College.
"That is what we are trying to change – that you and your boss can be equivalent in policymaking."
Endenburg, who hails from the Netherlands, imported the ideas of peace activist Kees Boeke into his engineering company in the 1970s, giving sociocracy a foothold in the corporate world.
"Our conditioning is enormous and we organize our societies worldwide in the democratic or autocratic way," said Gilles Charest, another visiting expert from Quebec. "You are in the prison of your organization and to step out of this prison is our task. That's huge."
If this is all getting a bit abstract, consider the example of John Buck, the leading American sociocracy crusader.
He's helped a Virginia company that makes specialized plastic use sociocratic principles.
When the US economy took a nosedive in 2008, the company was in crisis.
Buyers who had worked with the company for 15 years were cancelling orders in droves.
"So they had a general circle meeting," said Buck.
The looked at their assets, including staff, and realized they had to make deep cuts.
"In terms of the layoffs, the discussion went like this, 'You just had a kid, I have more resources, so I'll go get the employment insurance' and they decided among them who was going to be laid off.
"And the people who chose the layoff route still hung around, brought in cookies and stayed connected.
"That's the opposite of a friend of mine who worked for 20 years at a Baltimore newspaper, and who found out she didn't work there anymore when her computer didn't work and she was walked out of the building."
In a sociocracy, people are meant to be more involved in their jobs. Proponents believe sociocracy makes you happier, more enthusiastic and less submissive about your work.
"We talk about power and we talk about freedom and I don't think people want to be free because with freedom comes responsibility," said Charest. "You might be more responsible, but you are more free."
That's why families – one of the first places a person will develop a sense of personal purpose – need to be sociocratic.
"The structure of the family today is broken," said Charest. There is no longer that developmental aspect for many youth who grow up in broken homes, he said.
A couple Buck knows in South Carolina adopted two children from an orphanage who had attachment disorder. It's a disorder that causes people to yearn for brief attachments and prevents them from developing meaningful relationships. The popular advice for parents is to be strict with children who have the disorder.
The parents wanted sociocracy, so they had their own circle meeting and allowed the children to help decide the strict rules of the household.
"The children lit up from being involved in the decision making even if the family style day-to-day is autocratic," said Buck.
From the family onward, sociocrats say there is no limit to how big the theory can go.
"That was my first question – whether a company had to be big or small," said Endenburg. "I was working with Phillips – it's one the biggest companies in the world – and there I worked with small groups at the top."
Soon he was able to spread the sociocratic method to other rungs in the hierarchy, he said.
"It's kind of a universal principle that you can use in a family or in large business," said Charest.
But if sociocracy is something found naturally for so many people, why give it a name and develop a liturgy – not to mention an industry – around it?
"I've been talking with First Nation people and they do things intuitively like this over time," said Buck.
"But they don't have the vocabulary or concepts to explain why it works. In my career, I've been in situations where we're in the flow and the next time not and not knowing why there was a difference."
This new school of sociocracy, or dynamic governance in some circles, is gaining theoretical substance from cybernetics, the study of the structure of regulatory systems, he said.
"So what Gerard has brought are the insights of cybernetics and it's only been a science for a few years so our ability to understand is new."
So far, the sociocracy crew have a small following of businesses, social groups and other institutions.
The Buddhist Broadcasting Foundation in the Netherlands, the United States Green Building Association, a long-term health care centre in Vermont, the Eco-Village of Loudoun County in Virginia, the School of Media, Culture, and Design at Woodbury University, and Yukon College are all implementing the idea.
But up here, the movement is still tiny.
An administrator at the college was interested in the topic and proposed using it, said Karen Barnes, vice-president of education and training.
The college only uses sociocracy in one of its many schools, she said. There's also some sections of the administrative wing of the college using it.
"It's a small group of people who are seeing the opportunity to move forward in a different way, she said.
This modern version of sociocracy was invented by Endenburg after a crisis at his company in 1976.
Two executives had to inform workers that a massive layoff was at hand due to a drop in the price of the products they made.
"The people in the business said they would make no consent to that," said Endenburg. "We make the decision and then the whole group said OK."
The suits were whisked away, and a cost-saving solution was achieved without resorting to power dynamics between people at the top and people at the bottom.
"That is the difference between the old way and the new way," said Endenburg. "The old way is to stop everything and say, 'We make the decisions.'"
"Or you can say for the whole group, 'We have a problem, how do we solve it?'"

[ALBUM REVIEW] Mick Jenkins – Wave[s]
Besides the obvious, I think it's fair to say Chicago-bred rap had dried up for a few years, but then somewhere in between 2013 and 2014, it seemed like every hot prospect was representing Chi-town. Chance The Rapper blew up with Acid Rap, Vic Mensa with INNANETAPE, and now even more exciting names continuing to come through the ranks such as Towkio and Noname Gypsy, another of those looking to reach those heights is Mick Jenkins. After a well-received debut project The Water[s], Jenkins now releases is follow-up project Wave[s].
When Wave[s] kicks off, the first comparisons I make are somewhere between Tyler, The Creator and Kendrick Lamar. The production is often airy and very Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe in a lot of places, and Jenkins' vocals and delivery is often brash and tumbling like with the Odd Future frontman's. Despite the colourful artwork, Wave[s] is a fairly dark project with the production playing a big part in this, synths and baselines haunt and shroud, with Jenkins' vocals commonly draped over the top.
The comparisons to Tyler, The Creator become more frequent throughout the project, with Your Love and Piano being two of the more obvious examples. However, I would call Jenkins more 'accessible' than Tyler, Wave[s] is significantly more straightforward than Cherry Bomb for example. However, with this comes an air of consistency and completion. Experimentation and obscurity aren't necessarily the first thoughts with Wave[s] but by no stretch of the imagination is it boring, straightforward or flat.
Wave[s] is a tidy little project, and throws Mick Jenkins into the next batch of future rap stars. The LP's production is enticing and often hypnotic; Jenkins' vocals dip and weave their way in and out of the instrumental on The Giver, where as the drum-driven P's & Q's leaves all responsibility up to Jenkins' lyricism and delivery. Now with a couple of solid projects under his belt, Mick Jenkins is a rapper you should be taking more seriously with every release.

More interestingly, they asked let the sea breeze pass through the stadium for traditional swing back of ball. All this is adhering to the principles of vaastu and Indian form of Feng Shui, in design.
Chennai Super Kings and Tamil Nadu have been a great home side for the Chennai's. Tamil Nadu team has won Ranji trophy twice in 1954-55 and 1987-88 and finished runners up eight times. For a team with rich culture and club it's a disappointing record. While on the other side the local IPL franchise has won two times IPL championship and two times runners up and one timet20 champion league.

I like Laxman he was a great test cricketer


I'm constantly on the Mac website, adding numerous items to my shopping basket which then equals£200+, sometimes their products can be hit and miss so I thought I would share with you some of my favourites! The Studio Sculpt Foundation is a great one if you like more coverage, the consistency is quite thick so takes some working into the skin. Read my full review here! I've picked three lipsticks that really stand out to me, I have a few more that I also love but I would really recommend these shades. Up the Amp is a beautiful purple shade, it does take some bravery to wear it but it looks absolutely beautiful! My favourite coral lipstick is Vegas Volt, it looks more red in the photo but it is more orangey in really life and is one I reach for a lot! Finally, my favourite red! Lady Danger is the perfect red lip shade, it's quite a matte shade compared to the other two which are creamier but whenever I do a red lip I use this! I think Mac eyeshadows are a must! I own 13 but my favourites are Jest, All That Glitters, Woodwinked and Cranberry, the pigmentation of them is great and they are ones I always come back to, Woodwinked is a recent purchase but it is fast becoming my favourite! I bought the Melon Pigment on a whim a while ago and absolutely adore it, it's a shimmery copper shade that looks so pretty, if you have blue eyes, you have to try it, it looks amazing! My number one highlighter is Soft and Gentle, it's the most beautiful product and lasts absolutely ages, I have had this one for a year and it looks like I've hardly used any, it's so lovely on and it doesn't contain massive chunks of glitter like many highlighters! One of my all time favourite blushers is Warm Soul, a mineralize blush. This suits me a lot more than bright pinks or corals as it is deeper, as well as the highlighter, this has lasted ages! Two of my favourite brushes are the 217 and 209, the 217 is a really great blending brush that I use everyday, it's super soft and blends eyeshadow out perfectly! The 209 is the brush I use whenever I apply gel liner, it is thin and precise so it's great for doing winged liner and as it is so thin I always get a perfect line!
Your MAC palette is so pretty and so are these photos. I really want to make a palette of my own but makeup is a tad overpriced in Australia haha.
That pigment looks so beaut - I bought my first one the other day! I don't get the chance to shop in MAC often but when I do I love it!
I love Vegas Volt! So jealous of your palette, I just can't bring myself to spend so much filling such a big palette.
I'm jealous of all the MAC products you have! I adore MAC and I think they're probably my go-to brand when I want another makeup product. Soft and Gentle is such an amazing highlighter and I can't recommend it enough!
Great choices - I especially love the eyeshadow picks. Woodwinked and Cranberry are two favourites of mine.
I've seen so much people rave about the foundation but it really isn't one of my favorites.
is Up The Amp true to the bullet? It looks SO PERF but I'm petrified it'll turn out pink or some god awful mauve shade!
I find Mac foundations really thick, as you said! They are a nice colour though. Wish I could afford Mac all the time!!

A Maniacal Book Club Review: The Royal Rabbits of London…
It's middle grade reading time again and today's book will be deconstructed with the help of the Maniacal Book Club. The Royal Rabbits of London by Santa Montifiore and Simon Sebag Montifiore blends the sweet innocence of animal stories with the high-action world of secret agents, and we received our copy from Simon & Schuster Australia for review. Here's the blurb from Goodreads:
Life is an adventure. Anything in the world is possible – by will and by luck, with a moist carrot, a wet nose and a slice of mad courage!
Shylo has always been the runt of the litter, the weakest and quietest of all of his family, his siblings spend their days making fun of him for not being like the rest of them. But when Shylo stumbles across a band of ratzis and overhears their evil plan to take a photo of the Queen in her nightie, it's up to this unlikely hero to travel to London and inform the Royal Rabbits of London about the diabolical plot! The Royal Rabbits of London have a proud history of protecting the royal family and now the secret society need to leap into action to stop the ratzis… But can a rabbit as feeble and shy as Shylo convince them that Queen is in danger?
The Hobbit meets Fantastic Mr Fox meets Watership Down in this charming novel from bestselling authors Santa and Sebag Montefiore, which proves even the smallest rabbit can be the biggest hero.
Now let's hand over to the Book Club!
Guru Dave
In a world that is so concerned with outward appearances, it is difficult for those who do not fit stereotypical ideas of beauty to find value in themselves. So it is as well, apparently, in the world of woodland creatures. Shylo is diminutive when compared to others of his ilk and is consequently dismissed by those around him as without merit. It takes but one soul to offer belief in his abilities and this belief, like a flame across a row of candles, takes hold and spurs Shylo on to achieve great things. Take heed my friends, for here is a lesson for us all! Even the smallest rabbit in the burrow can play a starring role in defending all the side of good.
To0thless
There are no dragons in this book. There are some very strange, sneaky rats though, that like to take photos of people and embarrass them. There are some angry, snappy little dogs too and the rabbits don't like them because these dogs like to eat rabbits. I think I wouldn't mind eating a rabbit. Maybe. But not Shylo.
I like Shylo because he is brave but ordinary too. And I like Horatio, the old bunny, because he is mysterious and has scars and no one knows how he got them. I didn't like Shylo's big brother. He's a meanie. Maybe I could try eating him for my first taste of rabbit.
That would teach him.
Who is hiding 'neath that tree?
A red-pawed rabbit I can see!
Do you think he'll play with me?
He looks as if he's too busy!
Where's he gone so hurriedly?
To save the Queen for you and me!
Please excuse me a moment while I inwardly bemoan Mad Martha's increasingly appalling poetry……right, that's done. The Royal Rabbits of London is a delightful read for youngsters with an underlying gentleness that balances out the scenes of action and close escape. Shylo Tawny-Tail is the runt of his litter and his older, bigger siblings miss no opportunity to remind him of this fact. Shylo finds refuge with the elderly Horatio rabbit, who tells him stories of the Royal Rabbits of London, a secret society of agent rabbits living under Buckingham Palace, whose job it is to protect the Royal Family.
When Shylo overhears a plot to embarrass the Queen, he is suddenly thrust into a much more exciting life, as he attempts to contact the mysterious and reclusive Royal Rabbits and make them aware of the pending plot. The first part of the book has a bit of a town-mouse, country-mouse feel (except with rabbits!), as Shylo ventures forth from the safety of his burrow and steps out into the dangers of the big city. After making contact with the Royal Rabbits, Shylo finds himself caught up in a high-stakes adventure that might result in saving the Queen – at the expense of some rabbity lives.
Reading a chapter of this book per night was the perfect way to build the tension in the story and keep my interest up. The text is ideal for young readers who are newly confident with longer chapter books and the story is illustrated throughout with beguiling line drawings that help bring the characters to vivid life. Shylo shows such strength of spirit that I am certain young readers will just love him and be caught up in the challenges he faces. There are a few (reasonably) scary (for young children) scenes toward the end of the book as Shylo and his friends attempt to escape from the Pack – the resident dogs of Buckingham Palace – but overall, the story has an innocence about it despite the high-tech, battle ready situation of the Royal Rabbits.
The rabbits who make up the secret society all have their own larger-than-life personalities and adult readers will notice some nods to the sorts of characters who populate grown-up spy stories in these furry fellows. The world of the Royal Rabbits is also richly imagined, filled with structure, hierarchy, and international co-operation.
The ending of this book is not left up in the air, so can be enjoyed on its own, but for those thirsting for more adventure, a second book in this series will be published in 2017. Overall, this is a delightful, engaging and colourful foray into the hidden world of animal secret agents!

History is repeating itself to some degree at Cryptic Studios this week. Executive Producer Dan Stahl has once again stepped down as the game's executive producer to pursue "an exciting new project" at Cryptic Studios. What that project is has yet to be revealed.
Stahl vacated the executive producer role with STO back in September 2011 and was succeeded by Stephen D'Angelo. Stahl later returned to Cryptic and eventually resumed the role of STO executive producer. Same as the last time, D'Angelo has stepped in to fill the role vacated by Stahl.


In recent developments the Chilcot Report has revealed the role of Latin-american style death squads in Iraq.
As government forces continue to confront the self-proclaimed "Free Syrian Army" (FSA), the historical roots of the West's covert war on Syria –which has resulted in countless atrocities– must be fully revealed.
The formation of death squads in Syria builds upon the history and experience of US sponsored terror brigades in Iraq, under the Pentagon's "counterinsurgency" program…..

The Inside Story Of How Apple Bought Music Startup Lala, And Then Bought It Again | Cult of Mac
The Inside Story Of How Apple Bought Music Startup Lala, And Then Bought It Again
By Alex Heath • 1:47 pm, January 18, 2013
Lala was the pioneer in online music streaming before services like Spotify and Pandora really took off. If you Googled a song pre-2009, a Lala link was the first result. Founded in 2005, Lala underwent some business model changes until it became a full-fledged music streaming site. A partnership with Google's Music Beta and good connections with the record industry allowed Lala to grow and gain attention from bigger tech companies.
It made sense for Apple to buy Lala in December of 2009. Lala.com was shut down in May of 2010, and Apple has since introduced products like iTunes Match. When Lala was bought, we all knew that Apple had paid around $80 million for the small startup. Now the inside story of how the deal was reached over dinner at Steve Jobs's house has surfaced.
Aubrey Johnson is a designer who worked with Lala people after the Apple acquisition. He explains how Lala founder Bill Nguyen had received offers from both Google and Nokia, but the bids were too low. Nguyen pulled a few strings and got a meeting with Apple to ask for a higher offer. Nguyen knew that Lala's good ranking in Google search would ultimately undermine iTunes sales. The top executives at Apple granted him an audience:
In late November, Nguyen was seated at the dinner table in Steve Job's home on Waverly St in Palo Alto. Also present were Eddy Cue and Tim Cook and other Apple executives. Steve led the conversation while eating a beet salad:
"I'm going to give you a number, Bill, and if you like it, let's do it and just be done with this whole thing. Okay?" Bill agreed.
Jobs passed a piece of paper to Nguyen and Bill nodded. The deal was done.
Lala was bought out for $80 million plus an additional $80 million in retention bonuses and stock options for employees that stayed on at Apple through the acquisition. Not a bad deal given that Nokia had only offered $11 million.
The story gets better. Soon after the deal was closed, Bill Nguyen left Apple to start Color, the photo sharing app that generated a lot of buzz back in 2011. Nguyen's employees from his Lala days were loyal, and many engineers left millions in stock options at Apple to work at Color. After Color failed, Apple swooped in and acqhired around 20 employees back for $2-$5 million. So Apple got the talent back from its Lala purchase at a significantly cheaper price than it would have cost if the engineers would have just stayed on at Apple in the first place. Brilliant.
Apple is rumored to launch a Spotify-like 'iRadio' streaming service this year if negotiations can be reached with record labels. What are the odds that Lala engineers have been working on the project?

Georgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets may finally be settling in offensively, as they look to ride momentum from last week's closing minutes against Wake Forest. After a struggling with inconsistency in the passing and running game, they hope to have found an offensive line unit that can work, with Jay Finch likely to take over the left offensive guard duties if starter Will Jackson's injury keeps him hampered. Additionally, coming off a career-high-tying performance at Wake Forest, Joshua Nesbitt finally looks fully comfortable at quarterback, where he completed 11 passes last week. Tweaks in the receiving corps, as well as jolts of confidence being sent in the direction of Stephen Hill should get that unit playing consistently soon, as well. This game will be a good test to see if the offense has settled into itself, and can build momentum through the remainder of the season.
Virginia: Offense was a struggle for the Cavaliers last week against Florida State, as they scored just 14 points in a blowout losing effort at home. To Virginia's credit, however, starting quarterback Marc Verica is among the ACC's leaders, averaging 227 yards passing a game. He bested Seminoles Heisman hopeful Christian Ponder with a 211-yard passing performance last week. If Verica gets time to throw, it could be a repeat of the Russell Wilson Show at Georgia Tech. Two weeks ago at Bobby Dodd Stadium, Wilson threw for 359 yards in a North Carolina State win. Verica isn't the only Virginia player the Yellow Jackets will have to be wary of, offensively. While Virginia has passed 144 times through the first four games, it has also rushed 133 times, signaling a balanced scheme.
Georgia Tech: The defense received a shot in the arm last week after holding Wake Forest to 268 yards of total offense, including just 161 on the ground. These statistics came one week after the Yellow Jackets allowed Wilson's Wolfpack to torch them for 527 yards of total offense. To the players, simplified play calls and better communication were the reason for success against the Demon Deacons and they are optimistic about keeping it all rolling into this week. With the offense struggling at times early, the defense felt it necessary to hold on as many drives at it could. The confidence in holding Wake Forest just long enough for the offense to seal a comeback late, should carry over this week.
Virginia: Like Georgia Tech, Virginia has undergone a bit of a defensive transformation this fall. With the firing of former Virginia head coach — now Georgia Tech defensive coordinator — Al Groh following last season, the Cavaliers have dropped Groh's famed 3-4 scheme in favor of a 4-3 setup. While the 3-4 is still being implemented at Georgia Tech, Groh pulled no punches this week in saying the Cavaliers have an advantage because they know intricate details about the Yellow Jackets that they can expose. Georgia Tech on the other hand, played in a 4-3 scheme last year. Two players to watch defensively for the Cavaliers are Ras-I Dowling and Chase Minnifield. Dowling is a shutdown cornerback returning from injury and likely to be matched up with Hill. Minnifield, the son of a former NFL player, is the other cornerback, and he has three interceptions this season.
Georgia Tech: Head coach Paul Johnson still isn't pleased with either of his punting teams, nor is he too pleased with his kick return unit. What he can't help but grin about, however, is his place-kicker, Scott Blair. The once-embattled Blair has been one of the Yellow Jackets' most consistent players, booting home all seven of his field goal attempts this season. He hasn't hit many cheap shots, either. Four of the seven have been from beyond 40 yards; a locale that once seemed to haunt him. In addition to Blair's success, the Yellow Jackets seem optimistic that Jerrard Tarrant is finally getting a chance to produce in the punt return game. A 25-yard return last week — mostly by his improvisation — signals a potential turnaround for the returner who has been hampered by poor blocking and occasionally poor decision-making.
Virginia: The Cavaliers have been less crisp on special teams, with place-kickers going a paltry 2-for-6 on attempts this season. Two of those attempts were from beyond 50 yards. In the kick return game, Virginia has been reasonably better, with primary kick returner Raynard Horne returning seven for an average of 30.0 yards. He also has something this season the Yellow Jackets haven't had in more than 11 years — a kick return touchdown.
Georgia Tech: Johnson has been coaching for 31 years, including his now three-year stint with the Yellow Jackets. This season has been a unique one for him, as he has dealt with struggles and inconsistency in ways he has largely dodged throughout his career. His challenge for much of the rest of the season has been to keep his players on an even-keel and to keep them convinced that despite the raised expectations, nothing has made 2010 a lost year yet. If they can build momentum going into next week's contest against Middle Tennessee State, the ACC race remains in their favor. But Saturday's game against Virginia is one they need for the Coastal Division race for sure.
Virginia: Mike London hasn't been coaching as long as Johnson, but has generated a positive buzz around Charlottesville, Va. after returning from a stint as head coach at Richmond. A former assistant under Groh, London has a particular relationship with the Georgia Tech defensive coordinator that starts and ends with Virginia. But to hear either one of them tell it this week, the past is the past. As Groh said, 'it's history.' The only thing that matters for both is the present, and London is hopeful that his team will be up to the tall task of facing the Yellow Jackets on the road. That's his only concern.
Offense: Georgia Tech's guards vs. Virginia defensive tackle Matt Conrath. One of the cornerstones of Groh's former defense, Conrath is a 6-foot-7, 270-pound defensive tackle. While the junior is slated as an "or" at defensive tackle with senior John-Kevin Dolce, blocking a player of Conrath's size will be integral to Georgia Tech's interior rush success.
Defense: Mario Butler vs. Kris Burd. The Yellow Jackets cornerback likely will be pitted against the speedy wide out who leads the team with 22 catches for 378 yards. He also has four touchdown receptions.
