We all remember the lengthy battle between Interplay, the original holders of the Fallout License and Bethesda, the new holders of the license over the fate of Fallout Online that's been going for near two years now. Fans wanting a real trek through an apocolyptic wasteland may be in for disappointment from the latest news out of Interplay.
Recently, Interplay released a financial report that showed losses of over a million dollars, and a total deficit of £2.5 million dollars, with the possibility of bankruptcy mention a few times. While Interplay have filed for bankruptcy in the past, there's no guarantee for if the developer will die or be reborn. What is also unclear is if the rights to the MMO will fall to Bethesda due to the legal battle, and if it does, that they will rescue the ailing title. If Interplay does get the funding together though, the newest addition to an extensive list of MMO's is slated for a 2012 release.

Liveblogging the Golden Globes
First, I have to apologize for the lack of posts on here, I give the usual excuses of real life and holidays. Second, I apologize in advance for my lack of liveblogging abilities. I'm going to attempt to liveblog the Golden Globes while Mel handles the tweets but I think the last liveblogging I did was the Emmys, so we'll see how this goes. Three minutes until the Globes start so wish me (and the nominees) luck and enjoy the show!
8:01 – I would really love to have an entertainment-industry event without the mention of Charlie Sheen. Apparently, so would the Golden Globe attendees. Ricky Gervais is falling flat. Ouch.
8:04 – Dear Ricky Gervais, if you see torches and pitchforks after the show, I'm pretty sure it was well-deserved. Also, run.
8:06 – I was not expecting Christian Bale to win, but that's exciting. To quote Mel: "Holy hair!" I also wish I could understand a word of what he is saying. I think that epic mustache is getting in the way and alcohol might be involved.
8:09 – First award of the evening and we're already sending them out with music and completely cutting sound. This is going to go well.
8:10 – Katey Sagal looks great and I know Mel is very excited for her win!
8:16 – I remember the Miss Golden Globes from an episode of "Criminal Minds"! She was amazing and she looks gorgeous. I am curious if all the sound-cutting is because of language or if they're having sound problems. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the evening.
8:22 – Somehow I missed that "Red" was nominated tonight. I'm sad I didn't get to see it in theaters but it still looks awesome.
8:23 – Yay Chris Colfer! He looks so stunned and adorable. I predict crying in his acceptance speech. Aw, Lea Michele is crying for him! I love this cast.
8:31 – Apparently the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press doesn't appreciate Ricky Gervais' brand of humor.
8:33 – Kevin Bacon is going to be in the new X-Men movie? How did I miss that news?
8:34 – What I love about these awards shows is they give me new things to put on my Netflix. So far: "The Pillars of the Earth" and "Boardwalk Empire." Congrats Steve Buscemi!
8:37 – Apparently my decision to put "Boardwalk Empire" on Netflix was a good one.
8:43 – I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on Facebook who actually hasn't seen "The Social Network." Poor Andrew Garfield. Inspiringly isn't not an easy word to type or say. And according to spell check, isn't actually a word at all.
8:43 – "Bound to You" is a gorgeous song. I really hope it wins, though it is up against Alan Menken. "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" is a pretty song too and Cher did an amazing job with it, so well done "Burlesque"!
Side note: I am really looking forward to "Harry's Law." I'm really sad it's on at the same time as "Hawaii Five-0."
8:55 – That haircut makes Justin Beiber look about nine…so, his actual age then.
8:57 – Though I did not see "Toy Story 3", the first "Toy Story" will always be a part of my childhood.
9:01 – This is why Robert Downey Jr. is awesome.
9:02 – More important than Annette Bening winning, I actually picked a winner! This makes me very happy, even though I would have loved Emma Stone to win for "Easy A." I'm not a fan of Emma's blonde hair, though. I love that Annette is thanking actors as though they were actually the characters.
9:12 – Tilda Swinton, that is a very ill-advised ensemble. For some reason when I was predicting my winners, I chose Dennis Quaid over Al Pacino. That was clearly very stupid.
9:15 – I love how much Temple Grandin and Claire Danes love each other. It's very sweet. I am also digging Claire's dress, though it's a bit bright.
9:23 – It's a little random to have Zac Efron introduce "The Kids Are All Right." I'm just saying.
9:26 – Aaron Sorkin wins for Best Screenplay for "The Social Network" and I am awaiting the Oscars so I can do better with my winning predictions. I kill with the costume and makeup categories.
9:30 – Jane Lynch wins for "Glee"! Kind of obvious, but well-deserved. Now we will again be subjected to Ed O'Neill's complaints on how Sofia Vergara should have won. Awesome.
9:36 – Ricky Gervais may be a crap host, but he speaks the truth. Sadly no one in America really pays attention to the foreign films.
9:41 – I wanted Laura Linney to win but I never expected she would! That's very exciting.
9:46 – Jane Fonda what are you wearing? And that was a very random clip to show for "Burlesque."
9:49 – Jim Parsons looked like he was stuck in a corner somewhere, so I was pretty sure he was going to win.
9:51 – Melissa Leo wins for "The Fighter" and is adorable. Who wouldn't freak out if they were kissed by Jeremy Irons?
10:00 – Oh Matt Damon, you're so cute. I didn't know he worked on a movie with Robert Di Nero, so I was confused as to why he was presenting it.
10:14 – We're coming to the point where all the big awards are given out! It probably shouldn't take another 45 minutes, but it will. And usually the Best Director (in this case, David Fincher for "The Social Network") wins, said movie will also win. As I have yet to see this movie, I'm not sure how I feel about that.
10:18 – Yay "Glee"! Again, not unexpected but very well-deserved. This show has done more for society than I think even it realizes. I love that even the newer cast (Darren Criss, Max Adler, Dot Jones, etc) are there too.
10:25 – What does it say about Johnny Depp that he was up against himself and he still didn't win?
10:32 – I find it interesting that we have seen very little of our host all evening. I think the bigwigs are not happy with him.
10:34 – From everything I've heard, Natalie Portman's win is well-deserved. I love her so I'm very happy she won!
10:39 – I expected "The Kids Are All Right" to win.
10:46 – Sandra, I am so not a fan of that dress. Or your Cher hair. And surprisingly Colin Firth wins! I thought given all the wins with "Social Network" that Jesse Eisenberg was a shoe-in. But awards shows do love their period dramas.
10:54 – I love moments like this, the entire room giving Michale Douglas a standing ovation. It gives you the feeling that this is actually a community.
10:55- And the final winner of the night? "The Social Network."
And there you have it, the 2011 Golden Globes! It was an awkward night, to say the least, and I am looking forward to seeing what all the tabloids say about it tomorrow! So? What did you think?

"A secluded 4-bedroom stone cottage with pool, set on a hillside above Zlatni Rat beach on Brac island - Croatia's windsurfing mecca"
The interiors centre on a large open-plan living room and kitchen area, with double doors opening onto a spacious seaview terrace. From the living room, stairs lead down to the lower floor, where there are 4 ensuite bedrooms (3 kingsize, 1 twin). Behind the house, there's a heated outdoor pool, and a pool house with a second kitchen, barbecue and dining table. Divide your days between lovely beaches and your pool, and be sure to explore authentic local eateries and hillside pathways for hiking and mountain biking.

- Bol's seafront and Zlatni Rat beach can feel very touristy in peak season
- Getting here requires a bus-ferry-car combo from Split but the destination is worth it. The concierge can arrange a private speedboat transfer if you prefer

The Brac Island Hideaway is located on the outskirts of Bol, a village on the south coast of Brač island, overlooking the sea channel towards the island of Hvar in Croatia.
By Air:
Most guests fly to Split (24km). There's also a charter airport on Brac itself called Bol (23km), which is only served by a handful of airlines.
From the Airport
From Split, take the airport bus or self-drive to Split's ferry port, then the ferry to Supetar (Brac's main port) - Jadrolinija offers a regular service. Alternatively ask about speedboat transfers, which take about half the time (1 hour+) but are not cheap. Once on the island, take a bus (60 min) or drive / taxi (40 min) to Bol.
By Car:
If you'd prefer to hire a car just be aware that many of Brac's pretty harbour towns (such as Bol and Pucisca) are pedestrian-only and parking is a problem in high season. Local buses connect all the main settlements on the island.
By Sea from Italy:
From Ancona in Italy, Jadrolinija and Blue Line operate daily overnight ferries, and from June-September SNAV runs faster catamarans, both into Splir. From there, catch the Jadrolinija ferry (see above) to Supetar.
Detailed directions will be sent when you book through i-escape.

'How much are they being paid?' Fox News fans trash teen Parkland survivors who demand stronger gun laws
Fox News fans are sick and tired of seeing students at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School call for stronger gun laws.
In response to a Fox News tweet about students in Parkland, Florida rallying to demand change to gun laws in the United States, many pro-gun Fox fans lashed out at the students and said they didn't know what they were talking about when it comes to guns, despite the fact that a gunman last week murdered 17 of their classmates with an AR-15-style rifle.
One of the most common themes among the Fox fans was that the students were being paid by a shadowy left-wing donor to speak out, while other commenters accused the students of swallowing too many Tide Pods.
Check out the angriest reactions below.
They all need to shutup.
— Deplorable Dan #MAGA (@ryancam65808211) February 19, 2018
i wonder how much this kids being paid……

How can a bunch of Teenagers put together a nation wide Rally in just a short period of time, who on the left is funding this?

Kids using the MSM to try to demolish the 2A and have a police state like communist governments no that'll never happen.

Students bully other students sometimes to the point of a person taking their own life. Students are not old enough or mature enough to 'demand' anything. Adults must handle this.

That kid is going to make on hell of a poster child for their anti-gun movement in the wake of a national tragedy.
Democrats must be proud he can disrespect the president, and my guess is he talks the same way to his parents. #Disrespect @realDonaldTrump
— Richard Hlavaty (@HlavatyRichard) February 19, 2018
Yes, because they are just so knowledgable about life, guns, mental health and how government works. Screaming does nothing. They'll learn that in a few years.

Change must start within them. Unless they change within nothing will be accomplished. It wasn't the gun but one of them!

In a 10 grade scale
6.5/10 Not really sure what it is. White background doesn't match the bluish tinge of the profile bar.
I shrinked mine yesterday because the larger size was too blurry.
Let's re-rate your avatar...the three spikes on each of three crowns makes nine spikes, which is how many are on Bart's thread. +1 for Simpsons reference.
6/10. It's okay, but there's really nothing special about it.
stop he's alredy dead
9/10, always stays the same, small, and matches username and user title. Point taken off because like the Be Sharps, it gets less funny every time I see it.
And yeah I'm looking for a better avatar, this one's temporary...you know...until things pick up.
Do you mean mine or krusty burglars avatar?
Was directed toward Krusty Burglar, but I guess the description somehow matches yours too.

Here are some of my favorite quotes for my latest album THIS IS THE ONE. If you trust these amazing people's opinions, go to www.parthenonhuxley.com/phuxstore and purchase a copy!
"Great listening to P. Hux's new album! He's in top voice and top songwriting form. Sweet songs, anthems to march to, it's all there. Check it out!"
David Kahne
Producer Paul McCartney, Bangles, Sublime
"Parthenon has a way of drawing inspiration from the best songs of the 60s and 70s while creating recordings that are clearly his own. And he gets better and better. I can't quit smiling."
Don Dixon
Producer R.E.M., Marshall Crenshaw, Smithereens
"Parthenon Huxley's always had a knack for catchy rock & roll, and This Is the One yields some of his freshest tracks yet. I dare you to not sing along—'Just Sayin'!'"
Holly George-Warren
Author: A Man Called Destruction: The Life & Music of Alex Chilton
"Parthenon Huxley, besides possessing perhaps the best name in rock music, is a guitarist and singer of great ability. His new album is out soon - give it a listen."
Al Stewart
Artist, Year of the Cat
"P. Hux's new release, This Is The One, is a thrilling musical ride earmarked by thoughtful, heartfelt lyrics, commanding vocals and plenty o' infectious hooks…everything you'd expect from this perennially gifted tunesmith."
Ken Sharp
Artist, Author
"P. Hux's tunes are in the archetypal melodic guitar rock texture…but with his trademark clever songwriting/arranging style, clear signature voice with intelligent and heartfelt lyrics."
Rusty Anderson
Artist, guitarist Paul McCartney
"Looking for a Classic Rock Cake that uses organic, carefully cultivated ingredients from both the British and American pantries? Well, my friend, look no further! This Is The One!!!!!"
Sass Jordan
Artist, Canadian Idol Judge
"Not many people are doing this genre of music at the level of Parthenon Huxley. He's got it all - songcraft, production, vocals, guitar chops. Long live P. Hux!"
Linus of Hollywood
Artist, Producer
"Parthenon the man is exactly like his music: timeless…and fantastic and memorable and loaded with surprises at every turn. All hail P. Hux!"
Damon Johnson
Artist, Guitarist, Singer, Black Star Riders
Parthenon Huxley has always had that rare ability to seamlessly seesaw from rockin' power popper to heart-tuggin' tender vocalist, and his latest album showcases this talent in spades. "This Is The One" is a summer blend of Beach Boys, 10cc, ELO (duh), KISS, McCartney/Beatles, maybe even a bit of Coldplay. "Song For James" is a beautiful ode featuring shimmering guitars and that tender voice promising, "One day, you're gonna see it's OK" - a message we desperately need right about now.
Kyle Vincent
Aritst, producer

Barn Find Friday: '63 Com-anchero...
One for the lovers of oddballs. A 63 Ranchero in Mercury Comet guise. Needs work for sure, but definitely more interesting than just a run of the mill s-10 for a shop truck. :)

Gassers, Street Freaks, and Brand Awareness.
These are older sketches but I put them together in this layout for autorama last year and was surprised by not only the amount of attention that they got, but the amount of controversy that they caused. I got more "why aint there a mopar on there?" and "I love the fords, but why's there a chevy?" or vice-versa. I almost forgot how brand-centric people can be. Lesson learned. I'll just have to do one for GM, one for Ford, and a third for Mopars to cover my bases. :)

Instagram: Daily Chicken Scratch Project.
At some point in the 70's my mother made my old man toss a bunch of his old car mags. I'm not sure where he managed to hide the hundreds that I still ended up with, but regardless, when he "purged" the first time, he ripped pages out with things that were important to him at the time. So I have an overflowing folder with piles of disintegrating magazine pages from the early 60's. I've decided to use them as the subject of my daily Moleskine pocket sketch book til I fill it, or run out of old pages to reference...(I'm sure the former will happen first). Feel free to look up my Instagram (@design165) to follow as I upload em.
A few to start with:

Barn Find Friday: 65 Altered w/b Dart GT...?
I'm thinkin this is most likely BS. Ad says one of 4 ever produced. But looking at the car, it looks more like a back yard job rather than a factory altered. Maybe I'm wrong, in which case this would be a monumental steal.
The real deals for reference.

The Holidays: There's Too Much To Do!
Posted by SharonSilver in Articles on Wed, Dec 14, 2011
We've all seen it, a parent drags a crying child away from a holiday display, threatening to call Santa and cancel Christmas! Now, the child really begins to scream. The parent turns around and yells, "If you weren't misbehaving none of this would be happening!" Is it really all the child's fault? Or has the holiday stress aggravated mom to the point where she's using threats to manage her child's behavior and isn't paying attention to the fact that she's actually causing reactions and meltdowns?
This article is not a "parenting article" per se; it's a practical-helpful-organizational-so I-don't-loose-my-mind-because-of-all-the-stress-and-yell-at-my-kids-during-the-holidays-article. It's being posted now because you have a lot to do to get ready for the holidays!
I believe a great deal of stress can be alleviated by planning and doing one tiny thing each day during the month, versus doing it all at the end. I've done this myself—it really works!
Here are 6 things that will make you feel as if a magical elf showed up to help!
Be Proactive
Get a pad of paper and list everything you need to accomplish before December 25th, everything! Things like polishing the silver, purchasing and wrapping gifts, counting out the plates and glasses, deciding what the centerpiece and decorations will be, which serving platters to use and…
Next, get out your calendar and schedule 1-2 things to do each day between now and December 25th. One night wash or polish silverware, or wash plates and glassware. Wrap cleaned tableware in a towel and store in a box. Consider labeling serving piece with sticky notes so helpers know what you want served in each bowl or platter. One night, while watching TV, iron the tablecloth, napkins and outfits and hang them in closet, so they only need a touch up on the "big day."
Use time wisely
When you're chatting on the phone, address Christmas cards. Wrap gifts. Polish silverware. Wash platters. You catch my drift here. Don't waste a minute.
Thank you notes; do or don't do?
If you choose to do thank you notes, consider making your own on the computer and do them in advance over several nights. Doing thank you notes before gifts are received not only creates excitement, it also allows you to talk with your children about what to do if they get a gift they don't like, yet need to say thank you anyway.
Night one: Each child picks an image(s) to put on their thank you note. Google Images is a great resource.
Night two: Each child works with you to compose their thank you message. Make sure to leave a small spot at the bottom to insert what the gift was.
Night three: Print all thank you notes and have the children sign them.
Night four: Address envelopes, stamp and stuff them.
After Christmas: Write in what the gift was on each thank you, re-stuff and mail!
That's a baby gift!
Purchase 3 small it's-just-what-I-wanted gifts. Wrap and stash them in the closet in case a relative didn't realize that Jr. doesn't play with stuffed animals any more.
I need 3 hands to wrap gifts!
Supplies: Find 2-3 shoeboxes. Fill one box with tape, pens, crayons, markers and paper. This gives little ones something special to do as you wrap gifts. Fill another with scissors and cutting blades so little ones don't reach for a marker and accidently cut themselves. Put stickers, glue, and glitter and fun stuff like that in the last box so all the glitter and glue work is done inside the box to reduce any mess.
Wrapping: Take a paper towel holder that's weighted on the bottom and unscrew the top. Put a role of wrapping paper on it so it holds the paper for you as you pull off what you need. Tada, the third hand you've always wanted!
Ribbon: Consider using twine instead of expensive ribbon to wrap gifts. It comes in colors too. Purchase a plastic or aluminum funnel typically used for motor oil. Punch a hole in the side of the funnel and hang it on a hook. Place the twine in the funnel and thread it through the hole. Again, the third hand you've always wanted!
Gifts from the Heart
To help off set the cost of new presents for everyone, create a coupon book to use as one of the gifts. Give the kids' coupons for things like, Stay Up Late 1 Weekend Night, or Mom Does Your Chores for 1 Week, or No Veggies Tonight, or No Bath Tonight, or 1 Date with Dad. This is a great way to teach kids the real meaning of Christmas.
Next week I'll share what I think is the perfect way to tell your kids about Santa!

Moderated by Journalist and founder of Africa Agenda, George Bamu
George Bamu is a journalist with his own niche. Bamu believes western media, especially American media, need to explain and give an account for why they are so bent on portraying Africa in negative terms. "The main stream U.S media is obsessed about trouble in Africa when current African realities speak otherwise", he says. For his passion about African progress in the twenty first century, George Bamu thinks the time has arrived for mainstream westerm media professioanls to take a course about about African realities in the twenty first century. African media professionals, he adds, also have a responsibility to prove Afro skeptics wrong in their thinking about the continent by counteracting all the negativity that goes on. .
You don't want to miss this opportunity to hear the truth about Africa.

Post subject: Fortyniner Gold Hunters
The discovery of gold in California created a fever for gold prospecting throughout the entire United States. Even a conservative community of hardworking farmers such as Concordia was not immune. This is obvious from the 1850 census records. The Lafayette County census taker indicated all those who had gone west in search of gold either with the notation "Gold hunter" or "In California". What is surprising is the large number of people that got caught up in the fever. In Freedom Township alone, 33 men and boys from as old as 57 down to as young as 17 sought their fortune in the gold fields. That was over 10 percent of the males in that age range.
Louis (Heinrich Ludewig) Frerking, one of the original settlers of the Concordia area, was part of this group. (He was one of the three Frerking boys that came to the US with their uncle Friedrich Dierking in 1837.) Louis died on the trip to California. Family tradition says that he was killed in an Indian ambush of the wagon train. St. Paul's Church records show his date of death as Sept. 8, 1850 (possibly a memorial service).
Louis was 30 years old at the time, still single and living with his older brother Friedrich. So it is easy to understand why he might have succumbed to the adventure and lure of quick riches. However, the actions of some of the others is harder to understand. Nearby friend Christian Oetting, who was 45 years old at the time, left his wife Mary and five young children behind in Concordia to seek his fortune. Christian was one of the first settlers in the Concordia area. The baptism of his daughter Maria was the first official act of St. Pauls Church and regarded as the founding of the church. Another neighbor, William Ferrell, went with his oldest son leaving his wife and six other children to take care of the farm. Of the Freedom township group, nine left their families behind to fend for themselves. Life was harsh in the frontier area and difficult to make a living; so they must have been taken in by stories of easy riches in California. They probably felt that they could make a quick fortune and return with their newly acquired wealth or possibly have their families join them and make a fresh start out West.
Whether any found their fortune is not known. One can check the 1860 census records to determine their whereabouts. By then, Christian Oetting was back on his farm in Concordia with his family. Henry Dierking, Jr. was also back in Concordia, married and living on a farm next to his parents. Several others, such as John Holtcamp, John and Samuel Spafford, and Edgar Young, also returned to farming in the area. On the other hand, the four Mock men stayed in California, moved their families there, and became farmers again. Many of the names cannot be traced. Perhaps some of the lost their lives like Louis Frerking. The oldest member of the group did survive the ordeal. He was Thomas Asbury, who was a plasterer in Concordia. He was 57 when he left his family to search for gold. By 1860, he can be found in Leavenworth. Kansas reunited with his family and back working as a plasterer.

Post subject: Goldhunter Update
The previous posting about the gold hunters from Freedom Township overlooked the information provided in Frizzells
Independent Immigrants
(see pages 60-63). Frizzells account downplays the total number of men involved, although he was primarily concerned with the German immigrants. The following are several interesting observations that he made.
Christian Oetting returned to Concordia only to be killed during the Civil War in the bushwacker skirmish at Cooks store.
Casper Uphaus did not find gold but made a tidy sum of money hauling water in Sacramento before he returned to Concordia.
While Henry Dierking also returned to Concordia, he moved to Illinois in 1865, apparently because of the Civil war violence in Missouri.
The one person who did "strike it rich" in the gold fields was young John Holtcamp, who mined up until 1856 and returned to Concordia to buy a farm with the $1700 he made from his prospecting.

text: Our bodies are engaged in a continual battle against oxygen. Oxygen breaks down anything complex. It makes fats go rancid. It cleaves and disorders proteins. It wrecks DNA. So basically our bodies are targets of oxygen molecules. We need to defend against them, and the workhorse of that defence is vitamin E. A third of the body's vitamin E is located in the skin – which makes sense because that is where most of the oxygen is. Continue reading

Exodus 1 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
The People of Israel Suffer
1 1-5 When Jacob went to Egypt, his son Joseph was already there. So Jacob took his eleven other sons and their families. They were: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Altogether, Jacob had seventy children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren[a] who went with him.
6 After Joseph, his brothers, and everyone else in that generation had died, 7 the people of Israel became so numerous that the whole region of Goshen was full of them.
8 Many years later a new king came to power. He did not know what Joseph had done for Egypt, 9 and he told the Egyptians:
There are too many of those Israelites in our country, and they are becoming more powerful than we are. 10 If we don't outsmart them, their families will keep growing larger. And if our country goes to war, they could easily fight on the side of our enemies and escape from Egypt.
11 The Egyptians put slave bosses in charge of the people of Israel and tried to wear them down with hard work. Those bosses forced them to build the cities of Pithom and Rameses,[b] where the king[c] could store his supplies. 12 But even though the Israelites were mistreated, their families grew larger, and they took over more land. Because of this, the Egyptians hated them worse than before 13 and made them work so hard 14 that their lives were miserable. The Egyptians were cruel to the people of Israel and forced them to make bricks and to mix mortar and to work in the fields.
15 Finally, the king called in Shiphrah and Puah, the two women who helped the Hebrew[d] mothers when they gave birth. 16 He told them, "If a Hebrew woman gives birth to a girl, let the child live. If the baby is a boy, kill him!"
17 But the two women were faithful to God and did not kill the boys, even though the king had told them to. 18 The king called them in again and asked, "Why are you letting those baby boys live?"
19 They answered, "Hebrew women have their babies much quicker than Egyptian women. By the time we arrive, their babies are already born." 20-21 God was good to the two women because they truly respected him, and he blessed them with children of their own.
The Hebrews kept increasing 22 until finally, the king gave a command to everyone in the nation, "As soon as a Hebrew boy is born, throw him into the Nile River! But you can let the girls live."

In my last post I discussed frontend frameworks, and why I choose VueJS when working with my students. In that post, I answered some more abstract questions about whether or not this choice is even important (probably not all that much), and whether or not, as professors, we should even be using frameworks (absolutely, yes). This post moves from the frontend to the backend, and why I like FeathersJS.
As with frontend frameworks, there are many choices one could make for the backend. Again, my choice of backend was driven largely by a desire to reduce the amount of time my students would have to spend learning a language as opposed to working to actually implement solutions. While I'm really enamored of the capabilities of Laravel (PHP), or Flask (Python), or Rails (Ruby, duh), I restricted myself here to JavaScript to spare students from having to learn another language.
I actually started out this process several years ago using Loopback/Strongloop. At first, I really liked their browser-based admin tools, and integration with Swagger. Starting out your API by implementing the schema with JSON schema, and automatically generating most of the CRUD operations as well as API documentation seemed like an ideal way to get students involved in the API development process. Unfortunately, however, IBM really screwed up when they acquired Loopback by trying to create a separately-branded, non-free, enterprise product alongside the open source project. When you went to start a Loopback project, somehow you ended up having to create an account on something called Bluemix which would send you $0.00 invoices. I eventually gave up in confusion.
Amidst my confusion, I discovered that a project called FeathersJS offered a CLI generator that could ingest JSON Schema (which I had already generated with Swagger) and automatically scaffold a Node-based API. Importantly, FeathersJS did a smart thing, which was to make themselves a kind of lightweight wrapper around Node Express. I already had some experience with Express, knew how easy it was to set up and configure, but also knew that without some kind of tooling, Express-based sites could end up requiring one to write a lot of tedious boilerplate. Even from the beginning, Feathers seemed to figure out how best to leverage and augment Express with a framework that had all of the speed and ease-of-configuration of Express, without the annoying boilerplate. Also, they incorporated SocketIO which made it easy to provide realtime services in addition to the REST-based ones I was more familiar with.
Also, Feathers really shines in terms of its common API for interacting with data, almost entirely abstracting away the vagaries of working with any particular database technology. Feathers figured out a way to sidestep the morass of creating a collection of ORM tools, opting instead to use pre-existing 3rd party packages, and wrapping them with thin adapters to deliver a datasource-agnostic way to build out an API. As an example, here's the code you would write to query the API to get all "to do list" items with a due date in the future:
// import feathers and an HTTP transport library
import feathers from '@feathersjs/client'
import axios from 'axios'
// initialize feathers; supply API URL; add axios
const app = feathers()
const rc = feathers.rest('https://api.example.com')
// now query the API and handle the results
query: {
dueDate: {
$gt: new Date().getTime()
}).then(todos => {
// do something with returned data...
}).catch(err => {
console.log('ruh-roh! something went wrong...')
The beauty of this is that at no point do you have to worry about what kind of database the data is stored in. It could be a SQL database like MySQL or Postgres, or a NoSQL database like MongoDB or Redis, or an in-memory data store, or a CSV file, or basically anything. Feathers has a wide variety of adapters for most any kind of data store. You can even change the data store without having to worry about whether or not your client code will still be able to access it.
Feathers supports robust data modeling with standards like JSON schema and since your data models are part of your code base, they can be versioned in Git along with the rest of your code as your schema evolves over the life of your app. This is easier than working with migrations used by ActiveRecord, and solves the bottleneck of having to wait for your DB admins to fully work out the schema before your developers begin working with it. Everyone can work in parallel. It's easy to create simple mock responses to these queries so that you can test your code in advance and even put off implementing the full database until the end.
Particularly important, the Feathers team is actively working on "offline first" strategies for data management. [Correction 2019-09-01: the offline first effort is on hiatus but will hopefully see renewed attention moving forward (see comment from Dan below, thanks Dan!)] In an era where increasingly people want to access their data from phones, tablets, and other devices that may or may not have an internet connection at any given time, it is important to consider strategies for replicating slices of the database on the device and figuring out how to sync up with the remote database when network connections become available. While other frameworks, like Meteor, have made some attempts to handle these situations, I don't know of anyone who has quite pulled it off yet. I wouldn't be surprised if the Feathers community gets there first with a really robust solution.
For new apps being built today, it makes the most sense to separate the backend data API from the frontend user interface. For people coming from traditional MV* frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Django, or Laravel, this takes some getting used to (as I'll talk about in my next post). It also makes sense to use JavaScript on the server side (i.e. for the API) as well as the frontend client since it allows you to have a team of developers who specialize in one language (JavaScript) that can work on both sides of the app. I'm really impressed with FeathersJS and expect to continue using it for at least the next couple of years.

The Battle of Icarus IV was an infamous tragic battle that was made by the Romulan Star Empire against the Federation.
The conflict marked the first Romulan cloak penetration mission across the Romulan Neutral Zone. The battle consisted of probing attacks against the Earth outposts that were present along the border. Commander Keras might very well have been successful if not for the interference of the USS Enterprise. Despite the use of plasma torpedoes and the cloaking device, Keras's ship was crippled. Instead of surrendering or facing capture by Starfleet, Keras engaged the auto destruct, destroying himself as well as his vessel. This defeat dishonored Keras's House and stopped further Romulan expansion for sometime.
It was remembered and told to every Romulan child. (TOS episode: "Balance of Terror", TOS novel: The Return)

I shot this X-Men: First Class Spoof with the new Technicolor CineStyle picture profile (it was a 5d, as well). I had done some initial testing, when the profile first came out, but never shot a real project on it. This X-Men short is my first real world experience with the profile.
I've got to say, I'm impressed! But there are some pitfalls to watch out for. It handles color and dynamic range a lot more naturally, than the standard Canon Neutral settings with contrast and sharpness all of the way down. Meaning, with a proper exposure, you can really dial in a naturalistic, filmic image. But you have to be very careful, because clipping in this profile looks horrible, producing harsh, blown out whites, with sharp edges. But you can avoid this, if you underexpose a bit or light with this in mind. Because the blacks are raised a bit, you still maintain shadow detail and can bring the image up in post. Obviously, with this profile, you will need to grade the image, which for some workflows may be too much. But what I did was subtle for most of the video, adding a bit of contrast and some saturation on some of the shots.
Essentially, this is the go to profile for a filmic, natural image. If you want a more high contrast, extreme look, this may not be for you. Also, if you are someone who doesn't want to grade or grading isn't a part of your project, then this is not for you, either. Overall, an awesome addition for DSLR shooters.

Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, by Simon Sinek. New York: Portfolio, 2009. 256 pp. $26.95 (hardcover).
How did Herb Kelleher, founder of Southwest Airlines, build the most profitable airline in America—one able to profit even during the economic turmoil following 9/11? In Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, Simon Sinek shows that what separates fabulously successful business leaders such as Kelleher from mediocre leaders is their clarity in defining why they do what they do.
Kelleher, for instance, built Southwest Airlines around the idea of offering inexpensive flights. This was what Southwest offered. But Southwest did not succeed merely by offering inexpensive flights; after all, Pacific Southwest tried the same approach, yet failed. Southwest succeeded because it had a deeper mission. Southwest's why, Sinek points out, was to champion "the common man" in his travels.
In the 1970s, only 15 percent of the traveling population traveled by air. The seemingly small size of this market that was already serviced by several large companies did not bother Kelleher, because he was not competing with big airlines. He had a different purpose:
Back then if you asked Southwest whom their competition was, they would have told you, "we compete against the car and the bus." But what they meant was, "We're the champion of the common man." That was WHY they started the airline. That was their cause, their purpose, their reason for existing. (p. 32)
Because its "why" was clear, the airline's every value branched out of this cause.
In the 1970s, air travel was expensive, and if Southwest was going to be the champion for the common man, they had to be cheap. It was an imperative. And in a day and age when air travel was elitist—back then people wore ties on planes—as the champion for the common man, Southwest had to be fun. It was an imperative. In a time when air travel was complicated, with different prices depending on when you booked, Southwest had to be simple. If they were to be accessible to the other 85 percent, then simplicity was an imperative. At the time, Southwest had two price categories: nights/weekends and daytime. That was it. Cheap, fun and simple. That's HOW they did it. That's how they were to champion the cause of the common man. The result of their actions was made tangible in the things they said and did—their product, the people they hired, their culture and their marketing. "You are now free to move about the country," they said in their advertising. That's much more than a tagline. That's a cause. (p. 34)
Sinek fills his book with such stories to illustrate why companies need to start with "why" and how they can go about doing so.
Sinek also discusses what happens when companies do not start with "why"; this is the focus of the first part of his book. When businesses lack a clear mission, they tend to focus on short-term economic gains at the expense of long-term success and customer loyalty. One example Sinek offers is that of rebates that companies offer but hope buyers will neglect to redeem. In the retail industry the term for failing to redeem a rebate is called "breakage," and some companies intentionally make their rebates confusing to increase such "breakage." Or, in some cases, when gyms offer empty promises of "beach body abs in ten days," they are counting on people irrationally buying a membership without becoming serious long-term clients.
Another way some companies sacrifice long-term success, Sinek notes, is by focusing on minor eye-catching novelties at the expense of more fundamental innovation. For example, in 2004 Motorola offered the glitzy RAZR phone, the so-called "phone of firsts." This product incorporated aircraft grade aluminum, an internal antenna, and chemically etched keypads. For a time the product was wildly successful. Yet only four years later, Motorola's CEO was ousted and its stock tumbled 50 percent. Apple, on the other hand, offered not only new features with its phone, such as the touch screen, but a fundamentally new way of interacting with service providers:
In the mobile phone industry [prior to Apple's entry], it is the service provider, not the phone manufacturer, that determines all the features and benefits the phone can offer. T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, AT&T, all dictate to Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, LG and others what the phones will do. Then Apple showed up. They announced that they would tell the service provider what the phone would do, not the other way around. AT&T was the only one that agreed, thus earning the company the exclusive deal to offer the new technology. (p. 27)
By focusing on its mission, on gaining the loyalty of its customers, and on the company's long-term success, Apple prospered while Motorola declined.
Sinek also reviews Apple in the final part of his book, where he discusses how business leaders go about developing their "why." Sinek argues that a person's "why" is embedded in his deepest values. For Apple's Steve Jobs—who came of age in the rebellious 1970s—the personal computer was a way to empower individuals to pursue their own goals. In a snarky Wall Street Journal ad in 1981, Jobs invited then-dominant IBM to join Apple in the personal computer revolution. And Apple's famous 1984 Super Bowl commercial features the destruction of Big Brother, which was an embodiment of the stagnant corporations Apple was designed to challenge. In 1997 Apple released its commercial "Here's to the Crazy Ones," which featured Einstein, Martin Luther King, Amelia Earhart, Bob Dylan, Gandhi, Alfred Hitchcock, and numerous other men and women who challenged the status quo.
It's no coincidence that Apple revolutionized the personal computer industry, the music industry, and the mobile phone industry. In each field Apple's goal was not merely to create products to make money. Apple's aim was to fundamentally challenge the assumptions of each industry. Apple had (and appears still to have) one of the clearest whys in American business. Every business decision, every marketing campaign, every product resonates this reason for being.
Through his discussions and examples, Sinek shows that starting with "why" is what defines a great leader. Although the book focuses on the business world, it shows how the principle applies in other areas of life as well, including cultural activism and even dating. As Sinek repeatedly emphasizes, "People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it."

Epinephrine is one of the most commonly used agents in a variety of settings as it functions as medication and hormone. It is currently FDA-approved for various situations, including emergency treatment of type 1 hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, induction, and maintenance of mydriasis during intraocular surgeries, and hypotension due to septic shock.[1] Off-label uses of epinephrine include, but are not limited to, ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia, asystole, pulseless electrical activity (PEA), croup, and severe asthma exacerbations unresponsive to standard treatment.[2][3] In the operating room (OR) setting, epinephrine is used as a local anesthetic block as well. Produced by the adrenal medulla, epinephrine plays a vital role in the body's acute stress response by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system.[4]
Epinephrine is a sympathomimetic catecholamine that exerts its pharmacologic effects on both alpha and beta-adrenergic receptors using a G protein-linked second messenger system. It has a greater affinity for beta receptors in small doses. However, large doses produce selective action on alpha receptors. Through its action on alpha-1 receptors, epinephrine induces increased vascular smooth muscle contraction, pupillary dilator muscle contraction, and intestinal sphincter muscle contraction. Other significant effects include increased heart rate, myocardial contractility, and renin release via beta-1 receptors. Beta-2 effects produce bronchodilation, which may be useful as an adjunct treatment of asthma exacerbations as well as vasodilation, tocolysis, and increased aqueous humor production.
Depending on the diagnosis, epinephrine administration can be in various forms. For the treatment of anaphylaxis, epinephrine is preferably injected intramuscularly into the anterolateral aspect of the thigh due to rapid absorption or subcutaneously as well. For advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS), patients can receive epinephrine intravenously or intraosseous if needed. Another route of administration is through an endotracheal tube often used in neonatal resuscitation.
Adverse Effects Listed by System
The more common side effects include tachycardia, hypertension, headache, anxiety, apprehension, palpitations, diaphoresis, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and tremors.
Drug Interactions
Careful monitoring of vital signs is crucial, especially in patients with polypharmacy.
There are no absolute contraindications against using epinephrine. Some relative contraindications include hypersensitivity to sympathomimetic drugs, closed-angle glaucoma, anesthesia with halothane. Another unique contraindication to be aware of is catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.[5] As is the case with prescribing any medication, all practitioners should use clinical judgment and evaluate the benefits versus risks with epinephrine.
Select circumstances indicate the need for additional assessment before using epinephrine, as discussed below.
Epinephrine is considered a pregnancy Category C medication under the old FDA categorization system. There are no well-controlled studies in humans, although animal studies have shown a teratogenic risk during organogenesis. It is capable of crossing the placenta. Epinephrine use requires caution when maternal blood pressure is 130/80 mm Hg and greater.
Labor and Delivery
Due to its effect on beta-2 adrenergic receptors causing tocolysis, epinephrine opposes the actions of oxytocin on the uterus and may delay labor. It also requires caution during anaphylaxis induced hypotension in pregnancy as it may lead to uterine vasoconstriction, thus decreasing oxygen delivery to the fetus.[6]
More clinical studies are needed to determine if epinephrine is excreted through breast milk.
Epinephrine is effective at a dilution of between 1 to 100,000 and 1 to 400,000 for mydriasis induction and maintenance in pediatric intraocular surgeries.
Due to the expected decrease in renal, hepatic, and cardiac function of geriatric patients, epinephrine should be started at the lower end of the dosing regime and titrated appropriately for clinical effect.
Several locations should be avoided when injecting epinephrine, specifically the digits, nose, penis, and toes, as these areas are more prone to ischemia. Avoid using epinephrine in tissues supplied by end arteries.
When administered parenterally, epinephrine has a rapid onset, but a short duration of action. When given intravenously, it has a half-life of fewer than 5 minutes. Metabolism is primarily in the liver, along with various other locations such as the kidneys, skeletal muscle, and mesenteric organs. It is degraded into an inactive metabolite named vanillylmandelic acid by MAO and COMT and excreted into the urine. However, a small amount of the drug is excreted unchanged as well.
Epinephrine is a hormone that produces widespread effects. Certain effects need monitoring. Tachycardia and hypertension are expected effects when giving epinephrine intravenously, so it is important to titrate the drug carefully while monitoring hemodynamics. Epinephrine is also used with anesthetic agents to provide analgesia. In locations where extravasation of epinephrine has occurred, prevention and treatment of ischemia-induced necrosis are necessary. The infiltrated area should receive treatment with a 10 mL to 15 mL saline solution containing 5 mL to 10 mg of phentolamine, an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent. A study showed how hospitalized patients in the ICU with finger ischemia were associated with the use of vasopressors, including epinephrine.[7]
Renal impairment requires monitoring as epinephrine causes renal blood vessel constriction and can decrease urine impairment. In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and various other renal pathologies, clinical judgment is necessary. Researchers discovered a new enzyme named renalase, which is produced by the kidneys and responsible for metabolizing epinephrine. Some studies have shown how renalase is deficient in CKD, making epinephrine levels greater in CKD. [8] During intraocular use, epinephrine requires dilution; otherwise, corneal endothelial damage can result with the administration of undiluted concentrations of sodium bisulfite.
Administration of excess epinephrine that leads to supra-therapeutic levels may cause predictable adverse effects that warrant supportive treatment. Overdose may cause elevated arterial pressures leading to cerebrovascular accidents. Pressor effects can be minimized by the usage of an alpha-adrenergic blocker or by the usage of vasodilators such as nitrites. Pulmonary edema can also present due to the underlying mechanism of peripheral vasoconstriction along with myocardial stimulation.[9] Respiratory support may be needed alongside an alpha-adrenergic blocking drug to decrease vasoconstriction and enhance vascular flow. Due to strong beta-1 adrenergic effects on cardiac tissue, epinephrine toxicity may lead to potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias or ischemia. Treatment involves the administration of beta-adrenergic blocking agents such as metoprolol.
With numerous medications readily available for a variety of medical conditions for inpatient and outpatient settings, epinephrine is not often a topic of discussion until a patient exhibits severe medical deterioration. Because of its physiologic effects, epinephrine is a common agent used in "code" situations, including ventricular fibrillation and PEA. These situations require the expertise and skills of the entire interprofessional healthcare team comprised of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and more. During these circumstances, there is a team leader, usually an attending physician, who oversees and makes medical decisions for the patient. The physician, along with the help of other healthcare professionals and students, interprets EKGs and indicates if and when epinephrine is required. From an emergency medical technician standpoint in prehospital settings, epinephrine comes already prepared for administration, as opposed to other hospital settings where the person administering the drug must draw it with a syringe. Interprofessional communication is vital during these times, so all healthcare professionals are aware of the necessary steps required to resuscitate the patient. The proper dosage of medication must be administered within an appropriate period, as to limit the risk of toxicity; thus, there should be pharmaceutical consult on these cases. Communication among all team members must be fluid, as all members function as an interprofessional team, not as individuals operating in silos of expertise. Recently, researchers conducted a randomized, double-blinded trial in the United Kingdom whose primary endpoint was to examine the rate of survival at thirty days of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, with secondary outcomes to study the rate of survival until hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. The study included more than 8,000 patients; roughly half were given parenteral epinephrine or saline placebo, with appropriate standard care. The conclusion was that there was a higher thirty-day survival with epinephrine as opposed to a saline placebo. However, there was no improvement in neurologic outcome.[10]

Tools Day: Temple Technique
- By Karen
- February 11, 2014
- 11 Comments
What is the secret weapon for improving selvedges, preventing draw-in, and getting a more even beat, leading to better quality handwoven fabric? Use of a temple (also known as a stretcher), of course! The temple is a tool that simply holds the woven cloth on the loom at the proper width. I almost always use a temple when I weave because I like the consistency that it brings to my weaving. It may seem counterintuitive to stop frequently to re-set the temple, but I have found that moving the temple becomes part of the rhythm of weaving. The cloth develops inch by inch, and the temple is in sync with that.
How to set a temple:
1. Place the temple upside down on the warp next to the reed. Remove the pin. Expand the temple to the width of the warp, with the center of the teeth aligned with the outside warp thread on each side.
2. Put the pin in aligned holes to hold the width of the temple.
3. Turn the temple right side up, with the pin facing toward you, and the metal slider on the right half of the temple. Place the temple near the fell of the weaving; set the teeth on the left side of the temple into the warp threads near the selvedge.
4. Keeping the left teeth in the cloth, set the temple teeth on the right into the threads near the selvedge on the right side of the cloth.
5. Press down the center of the temple. Move the metal slider toward the center to secure the temple, keeping it flat.
6. Weave. The reed should not touch the temple when you beat. After weaving an inch (or two, or three, depending on what is being woven), release temple by moving the metal slider. Remove temple. Repeat steps 3 through 6 until weaving is complete.
(Compare this three-shaft twill fabric to my first attempt HERE with threading errors.)
May you find the tools that enhance the quality of your work.
Happy Weaving,

Hi, Karen,
Excellent tutorial! I think it would be good to add a section on moving the temple. Do you remember. The laugh we had about temple moving? How I was removing the pin each time instead of just sliding the catch down?
Is this a three shaft M's and O's?
For anyone interested in three shaft. Weaving, Erica de Ruiter has an excellent book, and also some of her projects can be found in Handwoven and Weavezine.
Stay warm! Leigh
Really great post! I use a temple all the time. Temples are such a common tool in the European weaving tradition. I wonder why they are not used
more in North America. I was looking for a finer tooth temple to buy last year
for my shawls and one well known supplier up here in BC told me that she would be happy to bring one in for me but that I should really just
reassess my weaving technique so I wouldn't need one! Joanne Hall would have a little laugh about that comment!
I'm so happy I found your website. I am enjoying it so much.
I had been weaving for 20 years before I tried a temple, because everything I read and everybody I asked said that if I were a good and careful weaver, I shouldn't need to use one. Only sloppy weavers needed a temple. I finally just decided to be a sloppy weaver, and now I use them on almost every project, unless it's narrower than any temple I have.
[…] 2) Using a temple (stretcher). The purpose of a temple is to maintain consistency in the width of the cloth. It does this by "stretching" the cloth out, holding it in place with little spikes on each end of the tool. Moving the temple frequently uses the tool to its best advantage. I move mine about every inch of weaving. For more instruction on how to set a temple, please see one of my most popular posts, Tools Day: Temple Technique. […]
I just stumbled upon your site in looking for a temple. But I must admit that's a most interesting tie-on method you have in the picture. Over and Under??? I've never seen that before. Beautiful piece too!
