Oh, that's right. It was lunchtime at CFLBlogCon, and lunch was provided by Bahama Breeze. I piled my plate with lots of delicious food. I had their mashed sweet potatoes, paella, a crispbread, fresh salad, some spinach dip (hidden under the salad) and some glazed chicken. What a tasty meal! Everything was delicious, and I can't wait to use the $10 coupon they were handing out! And can we talk about dessert?
Individual cups of their dulce de leche dessert. The chocolate brownie, the caramelly mousse, the chocolate sauce, the fresh whipped cream. SO GOOD!
Happy Bloggers! From the left front going clockwise: Paula, Jackie, Caroline, Rachel, I'm so sorry I don't remember your name!, Christine, Theresa, Michelle.
After lunch, there was a short yoga session, but I was so full from lunch, I opted to hang out with some of my blogging buddies in the Recharge Room.
By "so full from lunch" I mean that I still had enough room to squeeze in a strawberry cookie from Parksdale Farm Market.
YUM-O. We all kept asking Xiomara for the top secret recipe, but she wouldn't budge. I did ask her about how she got them to be so red. After my whoopie pie experiment, I was convinced she had to have used jello or something to flavor and color them. Nope. They are made with strawberries and strawberry seeds, plain and simple! Now I want to go back and experiment!!
Before heading to the next session, the Tampa Bay Lady Bloggers in attendance gathered for a group pic. Macbeth Photography was the photographer for the day, and he and his team did a great job capturing the event. They were set up to take headshots (which I totally regret not taking advantage of!), but he made accommodations for a group shot.
"Tweet Your Way to Success" with Rachelle Lucas was my next session and I kinda want to be her. She gets to travel the world and tweet/blog about it. Next up for her: South Africa. Jealous!! Anywho-she had loads of interesting Twitter tips. She should know- she as over 40K followers!
Be Genuine: Use a photo (of you!) for your avatar. Tweet things that interest you.
Be Consistent: Create lists and schedule tweets.
Be Resourceful: See who is tweeting about your site or brand.
Be Friendly: Follow tweets with similar interests and delete inactives and spammers. Find chats and conversations. Use first names when you respond to a tweet.
Be Efficient: Measure the reach of a hashtag campaign, share articles, videos and photos with your social networks. Track your time.
Lot's of resources! After hearing about HootSuite and TweetDeck yet again, I figured it was time to check it out.
I got to my next session, "Working With Brands" with Julie Deily (The Little Kitchen), and opened up my computer to take notes and experiment with TweetDeck. I'll be honest, I was sitting in the back of the room near some of my Tampa Bay Lady Blogger friends, exploring TweetDeck so I wasn't paying as close attention as I should have. But, one of the big takeaways from Julie's presentation was to work with brands that you actually want to work with. Don't just work with a brand because they are giving you some super sweet new gadget thing that you could care less about. Be genuine, and work with brands that you and your audience will use.
Think Specialized would work with me? I ❤ Snowball.
From there, I moved on to Mark Baratelli's session: "Finding (and Sharing) Content that Leads to a Passionate Following." I plopped on the floor in the back of the room with Kat, Beka, Rachel, and Marcia so we could all charge up our computers and phones. The combination of sitting way in the back, surrounded by new friends, and the overstimulation of TweetDeck and HootSuite resulted in a lack of attention to Mark's talk. However, I did catch some of his jokes- he was definitely the funniest speaker I saw all day- and I caught some of his comments that were a bit controversial: "Don't go to blogger meet ups" (Uh, isn't this conference really one big blogger meet up?) and "Don't be a niche blogger" (Uh, aren't we breaking into niche groups later this afternoon?) Regardless, his points were well made, and he is making blogging work for him! I'm definitely going to start checking out The Daily City more often.
The next two things on my agenda didn't require as much brain power as the rest of my day. First, an informal breakout session with all of the Central Florida bloggers who would consider themselves bloggers about health/fitness. There I got to meet up with some pretty amazing women.
And last but not least, the Yelp after party!
T-rex was excited that the party was moved indoors!
Yelp hosted a great after party, with food, drinks and entertainment.
Pita and Hummus from CRAVE Orlando.
I left the conference with a full belly, a full mind, and a huge smile on my face. I'd say that's a sign of a great day. Who's ready to do it all over again?
Agreed! I'm glad we hung out!!


Materials: Allen S402BL 6-12, UTC 140 Brown, 3.8mm Copper Tungsten Bead, .020 Lead-Free Wire, Gold Wire, Spirit River Mottlebou Brown, Krystal Flash Gold, Brown Flex-Floss or Spanflex, Rooster Saddle Natural Ginger, Arizona Simi Seal Brown/Brick.
Place the tungsten bead on the hook and wrap enough lead to cover 2/3 of the hook shank when pushed into the bead.
Secure the lead to the hook and wrap back to the bend of the hook.
Tie in the marabou so that it's roughly measures one hook length.
Tie in 5 or so strands of Krystal Flash on both sides of the marabou. Trim the strands so they are the same length as the marabou.
Tie in 3 or so Flex-Floss or Spanflex legs on both sides. Measure them so that they are just a tad longer than the marabou.
Tie in the gold wire and a saddle hackle feather by the tip.
Generously dub the Simi Seal in a counter clockwise direction on to your thread. Wrap you dubbing weenie forward until you have covered 2/3 of the hook shank.
Use Velcro or a dubbing brush to tease out the dubbing and bush it and the saddle hackle backwards.
Generously dub up to the bead from where you tie in the legs. You want quite a bit of dubbing in this step so that you can tease out a good amount.
Tease out the dubbing and brush it back. Whip finish and you are done.
Tie this one up in numerous colors and drift, swing or strip it. I find this color scheme along with black, olive, cream and purple to be the most effective.

Q: ToolStrip covering controls My ToolStrip covers my TabControl. I have played with the docking and anchoring but cannot figure out how to stop this.
My TabControl has Dock set to Fill.
Whatever my ToolStrip has Dock set to, it still covers the TabControl

A: *

*TabControl has Dock set to Fill.

*ToolStrip has Dock set to Left.

*Right mouse click the ToolStrip and try selecting Send to Back.

A: I had to use a ToolStripContainer control, and then put the TabControl within the ContentPanel of the ToolStripContainer and the ToolStrip in the TopToolStripPanel of the ToolStripContainer.
As a note, once the ToolStrip was in the TopToolStripPanel, I had to use the keyboard keys to move its position left and right as using the mouse kept placing the ToolStrip out of the TopToolStripPanel.
Also, using the View - Other Windows - Document Outline as LarsTech suggested was a HUGE help is placing the ToolStrip and TabControl within the ToolStripContainer

One should do fasting for forty days. Immediately after one has completed the forty days of fasting, one should practice nglowong for seven days and seven nights, starting from the day of Setu Kliwon. This powerful aji will shed light upon the dark mind (of oneself, or that of others nearby oneself), thereby eradicating the mental defilements.


The Gutsy Podcast - Powerback - What Could You Change to Enhance Your Brand?
Powerback - What Could You Change to Enhance Your Brand?
Often times we feel overwhelmed by change, thinking that if we don't change it all it's not worth doing it at all. Change is part of an evolution. Rome wasn't built in a day and Facebook didn't build the #1 social media platform by doing it all at once with perfection on the mind.
The majority of small businesses have some portion of their branding or marketing that they are not happy with or feel could be better than what it is. But when you look at the big picture: website, logo, campaigns, business cards, brochures, the whole nine yards, it can feel overwhelming to to know where to start an how to evolve or change it all.
This week I want you to take your #powerback by identifying the top three pieces of your brand that make you cringe the most. The things you don't use anymore because you're embarrassed by them or the content is so out of date you just have a box of unused pieces that are collecting dust. Identify what you need the most (a website to promote services, a brochure for meetings, etc.) and why you don't like the pieces that you have. Then, partner with a designer that understand your vision and can help you create pieces that reflect who you are.

#GlucernaHungerSmart Shakes- Keeping Healthy on the Fly.
My husband,Sweetie, is pre-diabetic so he watches his diet very carefully. That can be a little tricky to do, especially since he's the type who loves to spend hours outdoors. In the Florida calor, spending hours outside is sooo not Babushka, so he's sent off alone with meals and snacks. The lunches BB packs for him have to be filling, satisfying, and taste good, because he's already slim and Babushka's got a reputation to uphold.
Glucerna® Hunger Smart™ Shakes are specially designed for people with diabetes,used under medical supervision. Con 66% less sugars than leading weight loss shakes, they also have 50% more protein, making them a very smart choice to help manage hambre. And the especial,CarbSteady, which allows carbs to be released slowly over time and prevents blood sugar spikes is theirs too.
Glucerna® Hunger Smart™ Shakes come in Chocolate &Vanilla y el chocolate es BUENISIMO!!! Quee?? You thought BB bought that whole 6 pack just for Sweetie and his fishing trip?
They also have 25 vitaminas and minerals as well as being un excelente source of fiber. Of course this is a good thing, and combined with the added protein it helps manage hunger. A good thing when you're busy, inside or outdoors.
Ahora eso si, there are rules for packing a good lunch and a couple of trucos Babushka has learned along el camino.
1. Know what they like and give it to them. While they're out and about is not a time to experiment.
2. Make sure it'll keep for hours. If it needs to be cool, have some frozen bottle waters and/or icepacks ready. BB's preference are the water bottles, they can always drink the melted agua.
3. If it can get squashed,mushed, crushed, put it in a bag by itself- 'cause who needs that extra yuck ?
In Sweetie's case, he prefers to eat things he can eat with one hand;the other is for his fishing rod. He's always ready for that fish's nibble, so he does his nibbling quickly. Focused in his fun, Sweetie will spend hours pescando, and Babushka's so glad to have found something that'll keep him fuller longer and keep his energy steady.
Y ahora Beautifuls, there's un especial en Walmart of $3 off when you buy 2 Glucerna 6 packs.
Now that's a twofer Babushka can go for. One pack for Sweetie, and one for BB.
If he drinks his fast enough.
Who will you share your 6 pack with??


Keep calm and carry on. The saying is a cliche of the highest order by now, its initial message as positive propaganda during World War II long since co-opted for commercial purposes. But for some reason it popped into my head a few days ago and wouldn't leave.
Maybe because my life has been anything but calm lately and I'm struggling to carry on with my writing. I'm not complaining, mind you. Life is hectic because I went on vacation, I've got obligations to friends, family, and community, and oh yeah, work. All of which I love. But none of which are especially conducive to getting words on the page.
And there's something about the keep calm and carry on message that is, well, calming. It reminds me of another favorite saying, from the late doyenne of knitting, Elizabeth Zimmerman (also a Brit): Knit on with confidence and hope, through all crises.
We could amend that to Write on with confidence and hope, through all crises, don't you think?
One of the stories that stays with me from the time years ago that I went to a creativity workshop with Julia Cameron was how she wrote during one of the worst times of her life, thus coining her phrase, keep the drama on the page. And she had drama then, yes she did. Her then-husband, Martin Scorsese (yes, that Martin Scorsese) was cavorting around Europe with Isabella Rossellini and friends were helpfully sending her press clippings about the scandal. (This was, gasp, pre-internet days.) And yet, as I recall, she credited this with one of the most creative periods of her life.
Here are some ideas that I've been drawing upon the last few days as I work myself back into a regular writing schedule.
Start with the breath. In moments of busyness or anxiety, you've become apart from yourself. The fastest way to get centered again is to take a minute to focus on your breathing. Stop, take a breath, and connect with yourself (or whatever source you believe in, if you prefer). Are all the things that are making you frazzled and anxious really that important? Take another breath. Probably they aren't, huh? You are still here and still breathing and all is well.
Let the world fall away. All those items on your to-do list will still be there waiting for you after you've written. And your life is not going to fall apart if you take a few minutes for yourself. Really, it's not. I am reminded of a TV ad for some kind of chocolate from long ago, which featured the image of a woman happily biting into a piece of candy. In the background, you heard a bell and a child's voice saying, "Hey Mom, phone's ringing." But Mom clearly didn't care–she was savoring her chocolate. And you, too, will be savoring your writing.
Know That You Have Enough. You have enough time, enough money, enough energy and enough focus to do this. The ingrained cultural message we constantly hear is the opposite–that there's not enough time, money or energy for anything. (By thus playing on our fears, they can sell us stuff that will supposedly plug the "not-enough" hole.) So often when I think I don't have enough time, I stop and remember that I do–and voila, things fall into place.
Stop the Negative Self-Talk. I think this is the modern-day heart of the keep calm and carry on message. I don't know about you, but for me, when I'm frazzled, I'm also busy berating myself–because of course, it's all my fault I'm in this situation. (Remember, I'm not enough.) And so taking a minute to listen to the terrible things you are saying to yourself can allow you to stop it. And thus make space to take a breath, calm yourself–and get back to your writing.
Those are some of the things that help me. Nothing earth-shattering, but then the practice of writing is all about the small decisions we make to commit to the page, over and over and over again. What about you? What helps you keep calm and carry on?
For more information on the Keep Calm and Carry On phenomenon, here's an interesting blog. And, good old Wikipedia has a lot of history on it here.
This is a paid review for BlogHer Book Club, but the opinions are mine.
Regular readers of this blog know that I'm a huge fan of Julia Cameron. I've done the program laid out in The Artist's Way on my own and in groups led by Julia herself (in Taos, New Mexico, one of my favorite places on earth). I think that Julia's work on creativity is seminal and that nobody has beat it yet for its sheer power to get people creating. I also believe that every writer and artist can benefit from her book.
So I leapt at the chance to review Julia's new site, an online collection of tools from the book. There are all kinds of interactive goodies here, including a daily quote from one of Julia's books, such as "The reward for attention is always healing" and your choice of creative affirmations from Julia, like, "I love others for their true selves."
You'll notice that "Creative Pages" and "Creative Notes" both feature blank pages which you can fill with your own words, but there is not a space anywhere for Morning Pages (three pages written stream of consciousness first thing in the morning). This is because Julia believes that morning pages should be written by hand, because the hand has a direct line to the brain and that is lost a bit when you introduce a keyboard to the mix.
There's a few more links across the top of the notebook, one called "My Creativity Library," which leads you to a page of where you can buy Julia's books. Smart marketing.
I really wanted to like this site and was excited to play around with it, but honestly, I've been less than thrilled with it overall. The main value of it that I can see is access to the affirmations, quotes, soundbites and exercises. For some people who like to do creativity exercises on the computer, it would be a boon, but I'm old fashioned and I like to write them out by hand, just as I do morning pages. And it is a bit of a shame that you can't do morning pages on the site, as they are one of the most vital parts of Julia's program. Overall, I'd be nervous that all my notes and ideas that I'd collected on the site would be lost if I forgot to resubscribe or decided not to. I'd rather keep such things in a journal where I know I can access it.
Have you read The Artist's Way? What did you think about it?
When you're a writer, you are always pulled to write.
If you're like me, and I fancy that you are, because we writers share odd (yet wonderful) traits, you're constantly thinking, I should be writing. Or, I wish I was writing. Or, why aren't I writing?
The pull of the story is always with us. And that creates a constant tension in our lives.
Do you remember what it is like to live without this tension? I don't.
Because the desire to find time to write colors every day.
I think this same tension is present in the lives of other creatives–artists and musicians and dancers. It is the urge to create, the pull to make something from nothing, the yearning to put something of ourselves into the world.
My favorite line from The Artist's Way is something to the effect that we are most in God's image when we are creating, seeing as how He created the world.
And so even though I live my days with a constant undercurrent of tension, and somedays I think that life would be easier without it, I welcome it, because that tension causes the compulsion to create.
And without it, my life would be pretty damn dull.
PS–Please note the snappy new tagline. Cool, huh? I feel it is more in line with what this blog actually covers. Also please note below my new effort to help you take the ideas discussed here and pull them into your own life. I'd love to hear what you think of all this.
*Create a successful, inspired writing life: Sit in silence for a few minutes. (Doesn't even have to be that long, trust me.) What's the tension in your creative life? What is it calling you to create?
**Comments are welcome: do you feel a creative tension in your life? How does it compel you to create? Or is it a hindrance in any way?

Iceland Right-wing Ethnostate
icelandic woman.png
Iceland, with only about 350k people, having a population lower than Malta, even though this country looks tiny on a map, it is actually massive in terms of size compared to other European countries, being larger than Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg combined, with still 30,000 km more land of difference left, while having less than 2% of their total population. With favorable nationality laws requiring only 7 years of residence for non-Nordic people to become citizens, with a reduction to 4 years if you are Nordic, you can easily immigrate there and become a citizen.
Now, what is there to stop a movement of right-wing people moving to Iceland and becoming citizens, founding their party and turning Iceland into a permanent right-wing state? It would be specially easy to do that if you are from a Nordic country, and a movement like that would only need about 100k people to move in order to get more than 50% of the vote, even less if you want to count for that fact that a lot of Icelanders would vote for our party. It would have a lot of importance to have a state to safeguard European peoples, with our own laws, and it would be of strategic importance due to it's proximity to the Arctic. By implementing a non-interventionist foreign policy, similar to Switzerland or Singapore, we could do anything we wanted and rely on our sovereignty, and there would be no excuse for supposed oppression of non-Europeans, because it is a native European country. Why didn't any Europeans think of this before, specially Nordic Europeans? What is there to stop them?

Iceland randomly tests 10% of the population, 50% of people have been infected
hgg.png
>Iceland has tested one-tenth of its population for coronavirus at random and found that half of people have the disease without realising.
>They also discovered that 1,600 people have been infected with Covid-19 since the start of the outbreak. Of these cases, there were only seven deaths, indicating a fatality rate of just 0.004 per cent, which is significantly lower than other countries, including the UK.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8210401/Iceland-finds-half-population-asymptomatic-infected-Covid-19.html
So if 50% of the population of Iceland (364,000 people / 2 = 182,000 people) has been infected with the coronavirus and there's been just 7 deaths so far, that would make the actual fatality rate 0.0000384%
>But we need to, like, flatten the curve bro!
Iceland has 1600 confirmed cases, but 50% of the population has been infected but were largely immune. This would mean the real infection rate is 113 times the number of confirmed cases. Let's apply this to the U.K. where there's 78,000 confirmed cases and 10,000 deaths. The real infection rate could then be 8.8 million people. With 10,000 deaths, the actual fatality rate would be 0.0013%.
Let's say our hospitals are overwhelmed, and the sick are left untreated, and people die who could have been saved. Let's be wildly pessimistic and say 10 times more people die as a result (in reality, doctors don't know to treat this virus and 70% of those being put on ventilators die). The fatality rate would be 0.013%. A "severe seasonal flu" is estimated to have a fatality rate of 0.1%.
Do you see the problem here? We don't lock down the country for a severe flu season.
Where were you when you realized that this pandemic was the biggest case of mass hysteria in the history of the world?

EPISODE: Frontios Part Four
OVERALL EPISODE NUMBER: 618
STORY NUMBER: 134
TRANSMITTED: Friday 03 February 1984
WRITER: Christopher H. Bidmead
DIRECTOR: Ron Jones
SCRIPT EDITOR: Eric Saward
PRODUCER: John Nathan-Turner
RATINGS: 5.6 million viewers
FORMAT: DVD: Doctor Who - Frontios
The Doctor negotiates with the Gravis, the Tractator leader. The Tractators are mining Frontios with the intent of turning it into a mobile base to roam & colonise the universe. They draw the meteors down onto Frontios' surface with their gravity powers and it was they who brought the humans' ship down onto Frontios in order to use them as operators for their excavator. They intend to use Plantagernet as their new operator but he is saved by the arrival of Brazen and a party of orderlies. Brazen is grabbed by the machine and assimilated as it's new operator but it goes berserk burying itself in the tunnel. The Doctor finds the remains of the Tardis buried in the rock and coerces the Gravis into using his gravity powers to re-integrate the Tardis which then isolates him from the other Tractators rendering them harmless. The Doctor takes the Gravis to the uninhabited planet of Kolkokron guaranteeing the safety of the colonists on Frontios. He bids them goodbye and leaves in the Tardis but as they dematerialise the Tardis is once again seized by an external force.....
OK..... I can accept that the Gravis gravity powers can draw the Tardis back together but I'm still not happy with the idea of it being destroyed by a meteorite strike anyway. If the Gravis has been dumped on an uninhabited planet does that mean there's still a load of Tractators crawling around under Frontios. Gravis appears to be effectively their "Queen Bee" - are they capable of evolving/growing a new one? Where did the Tractators excavating machine come from? There's no sign of them having any other form of technology at all. Is it, and the spare they mentioned having, a piece of the colonists quarrying machinery that they have stolen and adapted?
We started this story with a throwback to a Hartnell story: Human Colonists having fled from the Earth which has plunged into the sun. We end with the Tractators wanting to fly Frontios round the Universe, just like the Daleks in Dalek Invasion of Earth! Years later Russell T Davies picks this idea up in The Stolen Earth & Journey's End.
As I've been writing the story summaries I've managed to completely omit the story thread about orderly Cockeril being treated as the colony's messiah after he survives being sucked into the ground: in this episode it just vanishes once Norna tells them Plantagernet has survived..... It doesn't really serve any purpose. In fact the whole story is a little bit flabby: it doesn't really get going till the second episode. At four parts it really just wanders along without any urgency. A little trimming would have probably turned it into quite a decent 3 parter. I thoroughly enjoy Christopher H. Bidmead's two previous Doctor Who stories, Logopolis & Castrovalva, but this one doesn't do it for me. It's his last contribution to the series. He has since pursued a career as an IT Journalist and contributed outspoken interviews to Doctor Who Magazine and the DVD range. You can follow him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/chbidmead.
Bidmead novelised his story in 1984 for Target books. It was released on video with the preceding story, The Awakening, in March 1997. It was released on DVD on 30th May 2011 a month before the Awakening was inexplicitly released with The Gunfighters instead of the more understandable Frontios. There's no direct connection between The Awakening & Frontios , but Frontios directly leads into the next story, Resurrection of the Daleks so it's slightly odd that these two have never been released together.
Anyway. Daleks tomorrow!


My apologies for the late arrival of this post. But as the picture shows, life has been more than a little interesting of late. The week before last had me in China climbing a part of the Great Wall, at Badaling, albeit slowly, as well as visiting both the Forbidden City, and the Summer Place, in Beijing.
Back to back with that, in the week prior, and after, I have had two interesting strategic planning sessions with a NZ regional tourist board and a NZ regional museum/library, both of whom are developing new digital strategies for the read write world of web 2.0. Of these more later, but first, the Beijing connection.
I was there at the invitation of Microsoft NZ to attend the Microsoft Government Leaders Forum, Asia. The keynote speakers were among others, our own Mike Moore, Bill Gates, himself, and Nobel Prize Winner, Muhammad Yunus of the Grameen Bank, author and promoter of the concept and practice of micro-finance, which helps the poor by providing them with small loans to set up businesses.
The Forum also included seminars, sessions, and contributions from all the major countries in the Asia Pacific Region; including China, Japan ,Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam. It was a fascinating series of discussions.
Based on three themes, education, inclusion and innovation, the sessions tried to bring together both connection points, and differences, all with the intent of promoting dialogue between the countries themselves, and of course, Microsoft.
So what is Microsoft hoping to achieve? Well here's the bit that fascinates – there are now 1 billion people who have some kind of touch point or connection to the Internet. Of these, according to Morgan Stanley, 36% are in Asia 24% are in Europe, with only 23% of users in North America.
Microsoft, according to all the conversations in Beijing, wants to be part of initiatives and programmes that will get the next 1 billion online in the next 10 years. And, yes that means getting behind lots of development projects.
Their logic of course is simple, yet effective – if you get another billion online, then eventually most of them will be either using or being touched by a piece of Microsoft software. In short corporate philanthropy and regional inter-governmental partnerships in education, inclusion, and innovation, make perfect sense for all.
Microsoft's main announcement in this area was the launch of Software AP, the new regional portal to coincide with the Summit.
It bring together three key audiences – the entrepreneur with the bright idea looking for investment support: the money in the form of some blue chip venture capital firms; and local and regional governments who want to use the portal to point both the idea and the money to the various country specific support strategies.
It's a compelling idea – and if it works, a very welcome one. Currently, it's restricted to five countries. And yes, New Zealand is one of them.
As for the ideas, Microsoft, when questioned at the press conference [by me as it happens] was absolutely adamant: for sure the innovation will be software based – but no - there was no obligation that the solution be based on a Microsoft framework. And, yes, the project will support open source ideas.
As might be imagined, both in the formal inter-governmental sessions, and in the speeches from Microsoft, education was a key theme. You can read a lot more on this here . However, the initiative that interested me came from Bill Gates himself, when he announced the detail of the Student Innovation Suite.
Naturally there is a context – the $3 offer is only to governments – and will only apply if a government matches it by giving, or supporting , the student to acquire a low cost pc or laptop.
So what's the context here? Nothing was spelled out, but it seems clear that this is Microsoft's, and Bill Gate's in particular, answer to the open source, One Laptop per Child project.
This means there will need to be hardware partners who will build the low cost laptop which will, in effect, be the Windows version of the One Laptop Per Child scheme. The hint is that HP might well be that partner.
Where will all this lead? Who knows? For me, for the moment, three points are of interest.
Dr Yunus in turn was equally clear – for ICT to work as a development tool, we need hardware and software designed for the poorest in the world – not the high achieving corporate road warrior.
all the students will all be full paying customers eventually. And Microsoft has, as we all know, deep pockets to take the long view.
Third – by making the software and the hardware a given, it allows Microsoft to begin thinking about content platforms, especially as so many believe, this is where the next generation value chains will lie.
Inclusion - is there a bigger picture?
And so to inclusion - or in other languages , stretching towards the big development goals – eradicating poverty, universal education, equality of life.
Like many others I think ICT is a key tool for development, and can and should be a major lever towards social, cultural and economic inclusion.
However, as Dr Yunus also reiterated, it's essential, that the primary focus of ICT for development be community centred, and that though governments and big multi nationals have a key role, the primary levers need to be rooted in locally led practice.
Microsoft - looking for partnerships?
So how can a huge multi-national like Microsoft square that circle? Spending five days with them in China might just have offered me a few clues around that. First, this is still a very focused company – totally hierarchical for sure, but open to talent and with people and resources galore to make sure they hear every nuance around them.
For sure, the old Microsoft of 'embrace and extend' is still built into their DNA – and they are still scarily competitiveto be around , and probably as ruthless as of old.
But yet, I also detected another, newer voice, which, curiously, I have also started to hear in the last few months at the local New Zealand level.
This voice, seems to be saying we are interested in developing social and cultural partners as well as commercial ones – we are interested in projects – and also open to conversations.
I can think of a few projects which might be a useful beginning to this agenda. Perhaps you can as well. And, given that conversations are always binary - your thoughts, as always, gratefully received!
In the meantime, its good to be back on this blog– and hopefully, I can get the pace and the rhythm of this puppy sorted in the coming few weeks. In short … more to come!

Q: Setup an ALB to re-route to a different target group if all checks are failing We are trying to put up a maintenance webpage for our customers, when our application is down for whatever reason.
Say we have an Application Load Balancer on AWS.
How do we setup an ALB to re-route to a different target group if all checks are failing? Say there are 2 target groups, one is the "primary" target group. And if all instances in that TG are unhealthy, is there a way to then route to a different target group, or a different URL or something?

A: You could use AWS Lambda to monitor the ALB. If the healthy host count falls to zero you could trigger a lambda which changes the target group.
This blog post has a good outline on how to do something somewhat similar, though you'll have to extend it yourself. Basically Cloudwatch Events triggers lambda.

Comcast Xfinity heads to Roku and Samsung TVs without a box (update: FCC responds)
Samsung smart TVs and Roku's streaming gadgets will soon access cable TV without a set-top box.
Billy Steele
While the FCC is working on ways to "unlock the box," Comcast announced plans for its Xfinity TV service that don't require the set-top add-on. Later this year, the company will release an Xfinity TV Partner app for Roku-powered TVs and streaming gadgets as well as Samsung's 2016 line of smart TVs. The app is part of a wider Xfinity TV Partner Program from Comcast, which brings its cable service to consumer home entertainment devices while nixing the extra cost of renting a box.
Comcast says this service will offer the Xfinity guide along with live and on-demand content, plus a cloud-based DVR. The company already had live television apps that allow customers to stream shows and more from 70 channels on mobile devices. Sure, you're still paying the monthly cost of a cable subscription, but over the course of a year, the savings from not having to lease the extra box will be significant.
"In light of the success of the apps-based model in the marketplace, the far-reaching government technical mandate being currently proposed by the FCC is unnecessary," explained Comcast SVP Mark Hess in a blog post. "The FCC's proposed set-top box mandate threatens to undermine this highly-dynamic marketplace, create substantial costs and consumer harms, and will take years to develop -- only to be likely outdated by the time it reaches the marketplace -- all in an effort to achieve what apps are already delivering for consumers."
Comcast explains that this is not an over-the-top streaming service, but rather a way for its customers to access programming without the traditional set-top box. While Roku and Samsung are the first to jump on board, the cable company is open to adding new partners as well. Unfortunately, there's no definitive word on when the Xfinity TV integration will launch, as Comcast offered the vague "later this year" timing estimate.
Late last year, Time Warner Cable began a cable TV trial with Roku and its own apps in NYC, offering packages for internet-only customers that range from $10 to $50 per month. However, TWC's beta test didn't include DVR even though it too offered an easy way to access cable programming.
Update: The FCC weighed in on Comcast's announcement with the following statement:
"While we do not know all of the details of this announcement, it appears to offer only a proprietary, Comcast-controlled user interface and seems to allow only Comcast content on different devices, rather than allowing those devices to integrate or search across Comcast content as well as other content consumers subscribe to."

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Grimoire of the Rift for the DS, better late than never.
By: dragonkiss83 Sep 24, 2012 | 3 Comments
I won the game back in June from here and have played enough for my review.
I've got to start by saying thanks again to Gouki.com for making me Jimmy of the Month back in June and hooking me up with another great game. This time around was even better. Not only did I get the copy of Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Grimoire of the Rift for this review, but I also have a copy of Dead or Alive 5 coming.
This review has taken me forever for a few reasons. The first is that I'm not that big of a fan of the Nintendo DS, so it's my son's system I played it on. If it was on a real system this would have been done a long time ago.
If you have ever played any of the Final Fantasy Tactics games you know that they are incredible. You can spend countless hours building a clan and doing all kinds of side quests. You have a few characters that have to join your team and and endless supply of others that you can recruit if you want.
The story is that you are a kid who ends up sucked into Ivalice through a magic book. Sounds pretty familiar. He crash lands in the middle of a battle so you are forced to join the clan to survive. You have to battle your way around to fill the magic book (grimoire) to find your way back home. You encounter some odd characters as you play and there is a ton of time put on they main story. And even after you finish it you can keep going. You actually have to if you want to collect all the unique characters, such as Vann and Penelo. And in the above picture you see the Seeq from Final Fantasy 12 I think and they are playable for the first time. The Gria are entirely new.
And if you have never played any of the Tactics games I should tell you it's a turn based RPG and you move across grids, think checkers. The stages you play in aren't exactly ground breaking but the are rendered pretty nicely. The music is also pretty standard and repetitive. There is no voice acting so be ready for a lot of reading, or skipping text if that's your thing. I've put in over 40 hours at this point and am still running around doing side quests so I'm not let down at all by the game.
And my son loved the bonus.
X-Men Destiny's third character
By: DragonKiss83 May 19, 2011 | 8 Comments
And now for the last character you can use.
His name is Grant Alexander.
He is a Georgia boy who has moved to California and is on the varsity football team when he realizes he's a mutant. As with the other characters you will be able to pick his base power and have it evolve as you play. But from what I've read the character selection is mostly about background and personality. You will have the option to basically have your character play however you want. So the the answer to almost all of your questions about how does the game play is it depends on how you play.

Bowser's Inside Story, love it or hate it?
By: grey walrus Jan 10, 2011 | 6 Comments
Been playing this DS game, and frankly I'm sick of it.
Alright. So I've been playing this game for a while, and don't get me wrong it's not a horrible game, but it is not at all what I was hoping for. I played both of the predecessors, and loved them, but I can't really stand this game. They said it's full of variety, but it's not. You spend most of the game playing as bowser. Which isn't bad at first, but after a while you get sick of him, and want to go back to the Mario and Luigi games you already know and love.
The graphics are good. The comedy is what I've come to expect from this line of games and it's great. I just get sick of playing as bowser, just to play as mario and luigi for a few minutes to help out the bowser play. I don't know. I have two boss battles left and I've lost almost all of my momentum. I'm pretty sick of the game.
Have you guys played this? Have you played the others? Did you like this one? Tell me why or why not.
Opinion: Are RPGs Fit for Handheld Systems?
By: jalexbrown Oct 16, 2009 | 1 Comments
My opinion on RPGs on handheld systems.
So I've been playing Star Ocean: First Departure on the PSP. It's a good game - you can find my first impressions on here somewhere - but as I was playing it, I started thinking about RPGs on handhelds. Are RPGs really fit to be on handheld systems? I remember back when I was playing Pokemon on the Gameboy Color, It was great fun, and a huge part of the reason it was fun was because you could save anywhere, at any time, and pick the game up any time later and continue. Anyone who's an RPG gamer can probably relate to this frustration: Well, I stopped playing X for a couple of weeks, and now I have to start all over; I can't remember what was happening. It can be the most frustrating thing in the world, and the frustration increases tenfold on a system that you may only pick up twice a month.
RPGs are story-driven, and they require a high level of commitment in order to beat them. From my experience with people who play handhelds, they can't or won't give that sort of commitment to a handheld system. They want their DS or PSP for short spurts of fun while they're waiting for something else. If I look back to Pokemon, I remember being able to play that for a mere five minutes and turning it off; good times indeed. Then I look at First Departure, and I see a problem. I was in a dungeon, and I spent forty minutes in this one dungeon. The dungeon had exactly two save points throughout, and ironically both were placed near the tail end of the dungeon. Had I gotten halfway through the dungeon and then that something happened and I had to turn the PSP off, I would have been screwed. And if I was going to go a couple weeks before I turned my PSP back on, I'd be even more screwed.
This isn't a problem that plauges First Departure exclusively, either. I went a whopping two weeks without playing Crisis Core, and I suddenly realized it was time to start over. Needless to say, in my frustration I decided to play something else instead. I really, really wanted to play Crisis Core, but the idea of starting over was revolting at best.
I hope game designers can take a lesson from all of this. RPGs can be great on handheld systems so long as they're designed from the ground up as a handheld experience. Designers need to consider things such as distance between save points and lengths of time spend absent from the game. Once these two things are considered, maybe we'll end going full circle and getting a great handheld RPG that plays like Pokemon.


Yesterday was a wonderful home day for me- even when the electricity went out due to the freeze. I began my day by going to the grocery store to get ingredients to make this.
Which added to my pleasure because I got to use this.
No, it isn't Le Creuset or some other expensive brand of enameled cast iron pot- but quite frankly, I didn't care because it was a deep red color ,and it was at Ross- for a lot,lot less. It works beautifully.
These bowls and plates are part of a set from Dolores Hidalgo, a great place to visit for talavera, which is a great day trip from San Miguel de Allende.
I loved them because of the lime green.
I put the cheese in a cobalt blue Fiesta bowl from a set of Fiesta my mother gave me years ago.
We lost power around 9:00 pm, but our stomachs were full, the fire was burning, a million candles were burning, my book light had new batteries, my husband had all of his flashlights at attention as he napped on the couch, and I had a great book.
Sounds like a very cozy night. I so wish I had a fireplace. Have a great weekend.
You were quite the Girl Scout, so prepared! Isn't it funny how color can make all the difference in your mood? Your red pot, the green in your bowls, the contrast of the cheese against the cobalt blue? The same meal cooked in a stainless steel pot in white bowls just would NOT have had the same cozy feeling. Not the mention a crackling fire and stack of books. Heaven indeed.
What a perfect evening. Presentation makes such a difference, doesn't it? It just makes everything taste better. That was a really beautiful post. Makes me want to curl up in front of the fire with a good book.
It does sound like the perfect day. I hear a sigh of contentment.
We lost our power also...we had a nice meal and fire, but I sure could use a book light...I bet I will have one very soon, why didn't I ever think to buy one until now. Duh!
I am glad the citrus groves survived.
am so glad the citrus farmers crops will be okay.
My husband is a rancher/farmer and I can relate when you loose your whole crop.
BTW...I really enjoy visiting your Blog. You have such a sweet soul.
Sounds like heaven to me! Enjoy!
Love the fire...the chili and your beautiful dishes!!!
Laura, a good bowl of chili sounds perfect for this cold winter day. I so admire talavera dishes from Dolores Hidalgo. We have a few from our trip to San Miguel many years ago. Thanks for sharing! Hope you can stop by HFTS. I'm sharing some special chocolates today for Pink Saturday.
Oh, my heart be still that chili looks sooooo good! Love chili. My hubby and I were married for over 2 DECADES before he "confessed" to me that he didn't even like chili. Bless his heart. He didn't want to hurt my feelings because I love to make chili. I was amazed because he loves anything spicy - he is Hispanic and raised on menudo and chorizo so I assumed plain old chili would be one of his favorites.
Isn't that sweet that he didn't want to hurt my feelings? All those years of choking down food he didn't even like. That's what I love about him, his kindness.
What more could a woman want? Good chili, a warm fire, a good book... who needs electricity? Enjoy your day and stay warm! Hugs, Ganky!
That's how I make my Chili, Laura, and my mom before me. My husband says it's the best chili EVER! and I think so too! Those spices are hard to beat! I love mine with saltines crumbled inside the bowl! Yum yum.
This post - oh so envious! Chili and warmth and a good book! The Best!
You were well prepared. Chili looks good. I just posted on some soup I made from a mix - actually good.
Good planning! Perfect evening. :o) I love to be so be prepared for times like that, so you can enjoy them to the fullest.
MmmmmmmMmmmmmmmm - and I do love chili, a fire, family, and great book with candles.
You created such a cozy inviting picture! We've had a winter for the record books. I really haven't complained once. I'm trying to find those cozy/get away moments in the midst of it all! Thanks for this post!
How wonderful that your dad stopped by for a bowl to go.
Secondly,I am a Ross lover...my kids hate it , they think it rivals the thrift store...they are all (4) teenagers and shopping snobs!! thats ok, I'm sure I will bump into them at Ross once they are paying their own light bill!
Do you want to share what book? All sounds great.

Every trade paper develops a slang, a jocular shorthand. But to refer to the process of getting an agent as being 'salvaged' is a little harsh. I am worried it might confuse people who want to get a traditional publishing deal.
An agent works for you. They try to secure a deal with a publisher (or a series of deals regarding overseas, film, etc.) They get paid only if you get paid, so they obviously have to be picky who they represent.
Most people who try to get an agent don't succeed, certainly not on the first book they submit. But when an agent does sign a debut author, the 'slushpile' – unsolicited contributions from people the agent doesn't know – is a major way they find talent++. JK Rowling was 'salvaged from the slushpile'.
An agent usually advertises as being open for business, or not. Therefore, if you send them your novel as a submission, when they are open, and if they represent that type of book, you are literally doing something they have asked for.
Since the arrival of The Internet, what an agent wants and who else they represent is usually findable online.
Typically, British agents ask for a short letter, a synopsis, and three chapters. Anecdotally the majority of submissions to agents are doomed to fail. They fall into one or all of the following errors: the agent is not currently taking submissions, the agent does not represent this type of book at the moment (or ever), or the submission is not what they ask for on their website. And many of the books that are left are somewhere between dreadful and not at all bad but not quite there.
Given this, I understand why agents call submissions slush, but it might be better called the crude ore from which the agent will find their next nugget of pure gold.
So, in my case I sent my first novel to a dozen agents and got nothing back but a little useful feedback. Rather than revise that book to the degree it clearly required, I finished the second, Our Child of the Stars. I sent to a dozen or so agents, one of whom, Rob Dinsdale, told me he was closed. (His website was down so I'm not apologising.) Now, living in London, I had been to events and talked to a few live agents, but there are events outside London. I participated in #askagent on twitter. One agent advertises that she takes questions via email, so I asked her a question. This was all mostly to make sure I understood the process.
You can get an agent through 'the slushpile', aged over fifty with sum previous publications experience, three short stories in US SFF mags, and no high profile social media presence.
I hadn't met Rob, and I hadn't sent him the first novel.
How the industry works is probably more obvious now than it ever has been. Meeting agents helps understand the process, but they will make the decision based on the book – and whether you share a vision for it. That's code for, if they have editorial suggestions, will you work with them on it?
Being polite, researching the process and having a great book mattered.
There are all sorts of things that are unfair, and that's for another post. But the point about submissions to the slushpile – one can hope this is the process LEAST open to favouritism, old boy networks, etc.
There are also alternatives to traditional publishing deals secured through an agent. Some publishers take direct submissions. Self-publishing is a viable and honorable route. There are crowd-funding options etc.
Edited to add. Some weeks later I saw two agents talking on Twitter. One said all but two of her fiction clients came through the slushpile. The other said 80%. Of course, mileage can vary.

Black pastor calls 911 to report attack; gets arrested
by: The Associated Press, CNN Newsource
WOODSTOCK, Va. (AP) — A sheriff has apologized to a black pastor who described being arrested when he called 911 on a group of white people who threatened to kill him after trying to dump a refrigerator on his property in Virginia.
Shenandoah County Sheriff Timothy Carter made the apology to Leon K. McCray Sr. of Woodstock Friday, announcing hate crime and assault charges against the five people involved and saying a weapons charge against the pastor would be dropped.
McCray described the events leading to his arrest in a sermon to parishioners at Lighthouse Church & Marketplace Ministries International.
He said he was visiting an apartment he owns in Edinburg on June 1 when he noticed a man and a woman dragging a refrigerator from another property into his dumpster, and they became irate when he asked them to leave.
McCray said they threatened him and returned with three more people, attacking him physically, saying "they don't give a darn" about "my black life and the Black Lives Matter stuff," and telling him they would "kill" him.
(Source: Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office)
McCray said they backed up when he drew his legal concealed weapon to "save" his life, giving him enough time to call 911. Arriving deputies then took his gun while talking with the five, who continued threatening him and yelling racist epithets at him.
The deputies wouldn't let him tell his side, he said; instead, he was "handcuffed in front of the mob," for brandishing the handgun, and driven away while the group stood with other deputies, waving at him as he went down the road.
McCray said the deputies rushed to judgment, "disarming a black male brandishing a gun against five white individuals" despite his "second Amendment right to defend myself against five attackers that tried to take my life." The arrest "would not be tolerated if I was white," he added.
"This was indeed the most humiliating, dehumanizing, damning and violating event of my life," McCray said. "I'm a pastor, a decorated 24-year Air Force master sergeant veteran, no criminal record."
Donny Richard Salyers, Dennis James Salyers, Farrah Lee Salyers, Christopher Kevin Sharp and Amanda Dawn Salyers are now being held without bond.
Sheriff Carter sat down with McCray two days after the incident. He said four of the five were already charged with assault or trespassing, but after hearing from the pastor, he initiated a review that led to additional charges against all five. Carter said he also urged a prosecutor to drop the weapons charge against McCray.
"As I told Mr. McCray, if I were faced with similar circumstances, I would have probably done the same thing," Carter said.
Also, two sheriff's office supervisors have been placed on unpaid administrative leave while the investigation continues, Carter said.
Attorney Bradley G. Pollock, representing Sharp, told The Washington Post that his client and Amanda Salyers assumed they had permission to dump the refrigerator in McCray's dumpster, and returned it to their own property after McCray confronted them.
The Post didn't report any response by Pollock to the hate crime allegations, and lawyers for the other Salyers either declined to comment or didn't respond.
"I want the people of Shenandoah County to know that I and the sheriff's office staff appreciate and care about the minority communities, and especially our black community," the sheriff said.

Job Interviews: How to Overcome Being "Overqualified"
Have you ever gone through the interview process, felt confident that you'd performed extremely well, and then heard these dreadful words: "I'm sorry, but we feel you're overqualified for this position."
When I was told that after an interview, several thoughts went through my frustration-fogged mind... What kind of crazy excuse is that for not hiring me? So what if I'm 'overqualified' -- don't employers always want to hire the person with the best qualifications? If I'm willing to take this job, overqualified or not, why is that a problem? This isn't fair! What's the real reason they don't want to hire me?
They'll have to go through the time-consuming and expensive process of hiring and training someone all over again.
They may or may not make you feel better about being "overqualified," but you must admit those are legitimate concerns.
If you get the "overqualified" excuse once, you'll be wary about getting it again. So when or if you apply for other jobs that may be at a lower level than warranted by your background, skills, education and experience, you may be tempted to "dumb down" your resume and omit things like college degrees. But lying about your background is not the way to go.
Here's a better strategy: address it head-on. Be the first one to raise the "overqualified" issue with a potential employer. If you bring it up yourself, you can discuss it openly and convince the interviewer that it won't be a problem.
They key -- as with every job interview issue -- is to anticipate and prepare. Before you go to the interview, think about what you'll say and how you will convince them that they should hire you, even if you are "overqualified."
After explaining how you will be a great asset for their company, tell them why you are applying for a lower-level position. Do not say, "I can't find anything else and I really need a job." Though that may be the case, this approach is a little too honest and will reinforce their fear that you will leave at the first opportunity.
"I've always wanted to work for your company [or in this industry], and I'm willing to take a lower-level position to get that opportunity."
"It will allow me to use my skills and expand my experience in a new field."
"I'm looking for something a little less stressful, with fewer responsibilities, so I can spend more time with my family."
"This position provides the stability and long-term growth potential I'm looking for."
"The salary is not my top priority. I'd have no problem with earning less than I've earned in the past."
Be very enthusiastic about the job. Explain how you can meet their needs now and in the future as the company grows. And most important of all, convince them that you will not quit as soon as something better comes along.
If you are convinced that this job would be worth it, you might even try this: offer to sign an agreement stating that you will stay on the job for a minimum of 12 months. Whether the hiring manager actually takes you up on that offer or not, it will definitely make a very positive impression!
If you anticipate the "overqualified" issue and address it up front, it will not be a drawback to your success!
I promise to use it only to send you the free Career-Life Times newsletter.

Q: How To Detect If User Has iOS App Installed In Browser - Like Example Site In Post I am wondering how this site detected that I have their iOS app installed when I visited their web site on my phone.
http://drafthouse.com/austin

A: Sites can implement Safari Smart App Banners. See Apple's documentation for details:

Promoting Apps with Smart App Banners

It is done via something like this:
<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=myAppStoreID, affiliate-data=myAffiliateData, app-argument=myURL">

A: These are called Smart App Bannners and are a feature of MobileSafari on iOS 6. You can add these using literally one line of HTML code (a <meta> tag, see the linked docs).

Fatally and flawed, beautifully broken.
Every step you take, every thought you think is a miracle in itself.
Do you have any idea how miraculous it is that you are even here?
So many wish they could be where you are? Doing what you do?
Do you know how many people have come before you?
How many generations of you it has taken to get to who you are right now?
You have worked your whole life to be at just this moment.
You are star stuff, baby. Plain and simple.
Hurdling through space at a thousand miles an hour on our little planet we call earth.
Just that alone makes you a miracle, but you have so much more to do.
So many places to go, so many people to see.
Your journey has just begun, no matter how long it may seem to you.
Each day, one step closer to completing the task – completing you.
You are growing, learning and taking your first steps into the mystery we call life.
Grab hold, embrace it. Look around and really see who you are.
Your eyes, finally wide open to the possibilities of you.
Thank you Nicole. I wrote it during a very dark time for me, trying to remind myself that we are all Star Stuff.

On Tuesday, May 21, the kindergarten class had a music/promotion ceremony. It was at the end of the school day and Jacob was just so excited about the whole thing. He went to bed Monday night stating "After tomorrow, I will be a first grader". *Sigh* This year has gone by so fast. And he has enjoyed every bit of kindergarten.
He even wanted to wear a button shirt for his special day. Those who know Jacob know how big that is. He also decided he was going to wear slacks instead of jeans and his "date shoes"! So he went to school dressed rather handsome and we joined him in the afternoon for his promotion ceremony.
When the curtain opened the kids were under strict instruction to not wave at their parents because they were big kids now and big kids don't do that. Maybe 2 or 3 kids actually waved! Jacob just gave me a big smile.
The kids performed a few songs based on nursery rhymes with a bit of a twist. For example one of their songs was titled "Gettin' Down with Mama Goose". They were jammin' and singing their hearts out. It was a great music program!
Then came the promotion part. There are four kindergarten classes. Jacob's class was the last to call their students for their certificates. The teachers also went in alphabetical order. Jacob's class was last to go and he happens to be the last name in the class. So he was the last student called to accept his certificate. Don't worry about Jacob's self-esteem. He was cheering (loudly) for all his friends in his class and since he was last got a big round of applause from all the parents.
It actually fit that Jacob was called last. It was like it was supposed to be that way. He certainly didn't mind!
We were able to get a picture of Jacob and his teacher (who taught her last year this year). We hope you have a fabulous retirement, Mrs. Walker!
So now it's official. No more kindergarteners in this house. Sniff, sniff. Man, it's hard growing up! We love you , Little Man!!

If the Court Appearance Required box has not been checked and if the charge is listed on either the Statewide Violations Bureau Schedule or the Local Violations Bureau Schedule, you may pay the fine without appearing in court. The Statewide Violations Bureau Schedule is a list of state offenses that may be paid without going to court. The Local Violations Schedule is a list of municipal ordinances that may be paid without going to court. You may pay your fine at the court's payment window, by mail, by telephone with a credit card (Visa, Mastercard or Discover) or by using the Internet at www.njmcdirect.com. If you pay without going to court, you will be pleading guilty and giving up your right to a lawyer and your right to a trial. Court appearances are always required in criminal matters.
Prior to entering the courtroom you must go through security. Certain items are not allowed in the courtroom: weapons of any type, cameras, packages and backpacks, handbags and briefcases are subject to search, and cell phones or pagers must be turned off. Once you are cleared through security you will proceed to the courtroom and check in with court staff. If you are represented by an attorney or by the Public Defender, you will be advised to have a seat and wait for your attorney. If you are representing yourself, you will have the opportunity to speak with the Prosecutor. When court begins, the Judge will give an opening statement explaining court procedures and defendants rights and penalties. The proceedings are sound recorded, so please remain quiet until it is your time to speak.
What is an arraignment or first appearance?
The first time the defendant appears before the Judge and is advised of the charges against him or her and what the possible penalties can be is called an arraignment or first appearance.
What is an Indictable Charge?
A more serious criminal offense is an indictable offense. Indictable offenses are scheduled for an arraignment or first appearance in the Municipal Court. The charges will be explained and the defendant is advised of his or her rights. These charges are then forwarded to the Mercer County Prosecutor for review. After review, you will receive notice to appear at the Mercer County Superior Court, or if the charge is downgraded and returned to the Municipal Court, you will receive notice when to appear at the Municipal Court.
A plea agreement is a way to settle a case. Plea agreements are negotiated with the prosecutor, an attorney who represents the state. No plea agreement is permitted for DWI or certain drug offenses. You will be given the opportunity to speak to the prosecutor to try to settle your case. The prosecutor may amend the charge to one that is less serious or lower the points in a traffic case. The prosecutor may recommend that another offense or offenses be dismissed or a specific sentence may be recommended. All plea agreements must be approved by the judge.
If you plead not guilty, the judge will preside over a trial to determine whether you are guilty or not guilty. The trial may be held that day, but in certain circumstances it may be rescheduled. There are no jury trials in the Municipal Court. At the trial date, the Judge will take testimony from all witnesses under oath. In a trial, the prosecutor first will call the state's witnesses (witnesses against you). They will answer the prosecutor's questions and present any other evidence they have. When the prosecutor is finished with each witness, you, or your attorney, will be permitted to ask them questions about their testimony.
When the prosecutor's case is complete, it will be your turn to call witnesses and present evidence on your behalf. You may testify, although you are not required to do so. If you testify, the prosecutor can ask you questions (cross-examine you). After all witnesses and evidence have been presented, the judge will decide whether the case has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. If you are found not guilty, the case is over. If you are found guilty, the judge will impose a sentence.
You will be required to pay all monetary penalties, as ordered by the judge. Under certain circumstances, the court may permit you to pay over a period of time. You will be given instructions on how to comply with any other parts of your sentence.
What happens if I need an adjournment?
The Supreme Court of New Jersey has established 60 days as the standard goal to dispose of a Municipal Court case. If you need an adjournment, you MUST notify the court AT LEAST one week before the court appearance date. Adjournments WILL NOT be granted the day of your court appearance. Adjournments WILL NOT be granted if your matter is 6 months or older.
A person who disagrees with the decision of a Municipal Court may appeal. That appeal must be filed within 20 calendar days of the court's decision. Appeals from the Municipal Courts are heard at the county level in the Superior Court, Law Division, The Superior Court Judge reviews the transcript (produced from the audio recording of the trial) and any other evidence or legal papers from the trial and makes a decision regarding the case. New testimony or evidence are generally not admitted for the appeal. The Judiciary has prepared an information packet, "How to Appeal a Decision of a Municipal Court" for persons wishing to appeal a Municipal Court decision. For more information, please visit www.njcourtsonline.com.
People who do not come to court when summoned or subpoenaed, make payments as required, or comply with other requirements of their sentences, face additional punishments including fines, drivers license suspensions, arrest and jail.
What is the Veterans Assistance Project?
The Veterans Assistance Project is a voluntary referral service. Its purpose is to refer veterans who come in contact with the court system and who may be in need of veteran's services to their Veterans Service Office. Services that may be available can include mental health counseling, addiction services, legal services and housing. The Veterans Assistance Project strives to get services and support for veterans to improve the quality of life for the men, women and families who have made sacrifices in the defense of the United States. For additional information please contact Ewing Township Municipal Court or read online at www.njcourtsonline.com.
