As far as the manga goes, only Taiseki has officially been stated as a user. Are there sources for the other users? Sources that clearly show it was this technique... --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 21:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'd guess most of those characters just used something like this technique. The image, for example, is most certainly not the same type of invisibility that the jutsu produces. ~SnapperTo 03:33, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Is it really better to change the picture from an anime picture to a manga picture? ~Hakinu (talk | contribs) 12:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- ~Reads above~ I have to use my eyes. Anyway, the bad guys in the 12 guards technique says pretty clearly that they are using this technique, if I'm not completly wrong. ~Hakinu (talk | contribs) 12:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- About the picture: I changed it, because I don't think the technique shown on the old picture was the Hiding with Camouflage Technique. Even if it was, I feel the new picture gives a better picture of the technique, as you can actually see the user.
- About the users, Do you have an episode number? I could check if they really use this technique then. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 15:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm going to look for it, hang on~ ~Hakinu (talk | contribs) 15:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- You know what, I was wrong. They were using this one (S Ep. 60, 17:56). ~Hakinu (talk | contribs) 16:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- I see, it's an easy mistake to make, which is why I raised this issue in the first place. So, shouldn't there be a name that needs removing from the article? --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 21:28, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Pain's summon
Should we add the chameleon summon as a user? It seems logical this would be the technique it used. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:49, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think it should be added since it is a chameleon.--Deva 27 (talk) 01:59, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Pain's crustacean summon had a technique. Granted, it was named in the databook, but it shows that his summons can have techniques. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:04, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, even if it is just a sidenote. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 03:11, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Pain's crustacean summon had a technique. Granted, it was named in the databook, but it shows that his summons can have techniques. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:04, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
- In that case lets add talking with human speech as a jutsu for animals. SimAnt 05:25, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Why so? I don't understand the logic behind that one. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:56, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Anyone? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:20, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Well because it was a chameleon and it naturally has the ability to blend in with it's environ I think if the ability is mentioned then that will suffice. It isn't like the crustacean where an actual just name was mentioned where as in this case it could be counted as speculation. For all we know the technique was probably created from observation of a chameleon. --Cerez365 (talk) 22:01, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Mu and the trivia section
Where does it ever say that Mu was considered the/an invisible man because of this technique? I don't remember that part at all. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:57, April 22, 2011 (UTC)miah
- When Mū stops moving, Kabuto wonders if he was detected, saying that would be impressive, since Mū was known as the "Non-Person". The part about the "Invisible Man" character from the novel is just a trivia pointing the similarity between being invisible and the bandages. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:06, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
- He also uses a technique that causes him to become invisible to the point where he gained that name...logic follows.--Cerez365™☺ 19:09, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
I think if it concerned me to have that there is 1. my mind actually went to perhaps a combination of that tech with an ability similar to karin's where she can hide her chakra. and 2. the way they tend to have some similar jutsu with different names when they are only slightly different, like the 2 phasing through the ground tech and the few moving through the ground ones, I can't help but think that it could also be a similar but different tech. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:09, April 23, 2011 (UTC)miah
to clarify, I get the reference to the invisible man, I just don't know if I would rush to say it was mastery of this tech that gave him that nickname and not another jutsu, since if it was the invisibility thing that made him undetectable and not a mix of that and say, karins ability, it seems different enough from this invisibility jutsu that perhaps it would have its own name and be a completely different listing. Make sense? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:30, April 23, 2011 (UTC)miah
The only people in canon who are known to be able to become invisible are Mū and Taiseki. The technique used by both looks the same, have a similar sound effect (from sound effect bubbles if I'm not mistaken) and both users are from the same village. It's far less speculative to say it's this technique than saying it's another one. We take in consideration everything the manga has said up to this point. If we only listed things that were unambiguously, specifically and explicitly stated, we wouldn't list anything at all. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:49, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
wait... what? Isn't that half the definition of an encyclopedia? By that logic you should allow fan fiction, even some of that is based on a solid foundation of plausability, if not fact. That's basically the metric you've set.I've nothing against saying he uses this technique, but going further and saying absolutely it's the reason for his moniker is pure speculation with no foundation. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 19:46, April 23, 2011 (UTC)miah
Kabuto said the Tsuchikage was known as "Non-Person" because he was undetectable. He uses this technique to become invisible. Ergo, his mastery of the technique is what earned him the technique. It's a simple, logical conclusion. If it makes you more comfortable, the sentence can be worded to show the likeliness of that, something like "appears to" or "is suggested to", though I hardly think that's necessary, and will readily change it back should others find it unnecessary as well. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:17, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
It's logical to assume it had perhaps something to do with the name, but not to assume that it's this same technique since this one hardly left someone without a presence, it just left them w/o a scent. And that also goes for making such an emphatic statement as though this tech alone was what gave him that name, since it's equally logical he had a power similar to karin's, considering this tech doesn't hide your chakra. Even if it was worded say, this tech helped give him the moniker... I would feel better because it's not so exclusive of a statement. Someone making an intuitive leap is not my problem, but I do think those words should be carefully phrased to reflect that nature, that it isn't an absolute fact. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:29, April 23, 2011 (UTC)miah
Now you're speculating. Other than being a sensor, he has no similarities what so ever with Karin. Besides, if he used Karin's technique, he wouldn't be able to use this one. More on that here. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:41, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
I know I'm speculating, and I certainly don't think that should make it onto a page, my only point was that w/o knowing the full nature of his ability, and since it is not definitive that this is the same tech (that being the bigger one for me, since this tech was hardly that powerful) or the only one that gave him that name, the language should be toned down a bit to reflect that, say: The Second Tsuchikage Mu's mastery of this tech helped earn him the moniker, The "Non-Person," said to seemingly have no form nor chakra. Would something like that be acceptable? It essentially says the same thing, yet it's not so definitive and leaves it open to the possiblity it wasn't necessarily the only thing 22.214.171.124 (talk) 23:52, April 23, 2011 (UTC)miah
Sure the wording can be changed, I suggested that two replies above, though I don't find it necessary. Plus, this technique isn't really a power type of technique, it's a complexity type. It's about doing something that's hard, not something that is chakra taxing, and this is justified, since this is an A-ranked technique, techniques which are Kage level. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:55, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
I did catch that comment above, but since there was a bit of contention about the passage, I also wanted to run it by and see if there were any objections, if it was an acceptable wordingand not too far off. I tried to write something that essentially said the exact same thing, just a little more open. I always like to do that anyway before I change something, simly because there's less chance it turns into a fight with someone constantly changing it back and forth. But, I will change it to that and see. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 00:04, April 24, 2011 (UTC)miah
And I'm not sure about that comma, so there's that 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:12, April 24, 2011 (UTC)miah
Muu's invisibility technique allows him to escape being sensed by chakra Sensors because he erases his presence and chakra, Taiseki's chakra was seen by Obito so it wasn't erased, was it? So shouldn't that mean their techniques are different? —This unsigned comment was made by FlyingRaijin (talk • contribs) .
- We listed him in this technique because there were many similarities, such as village of origin, look of the technique, purpose, effect and sound effect. Obito saw through it because he had the Sharingan. We don't know if Mū can be detected via Sharingan or other eye techniques. It was deemed least speculative to think he's using the same technique then to think he's using a different technique. Him hiding his chakra from sensors could simply be him using the technique to its fullest extent, or simply being just that good with it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:35, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
what are the differences if any to the transparent escape technique —This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
- We don't know as transparent escape technique hasn't been used in the series.--TricksterKing (talk) 06:37, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
Dpes anyone but me wonder why the user of this technique can use it without going blind? The desciption said that this technique bends light around the user's body, including their eyes. The human eye requires light to work, so logic would dictate that the user of this technique would go blind while using this technique since light is refracted away from their eyes.—This unsigned comment was made by Tsl3161991 (talk • contribs) .
Naruto a user?
Shouldnt naruto be a user of this technique, he was shown using a similar form of this in the Naruto Movie 5 Blood Prison when Maroi took his shadow clone and naruto became visiable after being cloaked in the corner of the room. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 13:18, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
- Somehow I had hoped no one would have noticed this. Naruto used the technique when he's only able to make one clone right? But this technique requires you to use chakra to bend light around yourself. To me it's odd but I suppose he did use it.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:19, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
Movies are not canon though. So even if he used Chidori, it should not be listed.--Elveonora (talk) 13:41, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
it should at least be listed as movie only. i mean konohamaru used the big ball rasengan and multiple shadow clone technique in an ova yet he was still listed as a user.220.127.116.11 (talk) 13:58, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh yes. That reminds me that Konohamaru needs to be removed.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:03, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
Does it erases the user's scent too? Databook says nothing about this.184.108.40.206 (talk) 02:42, November 9, 2012 (UTC)Uman
According to others, the databook says it does indeed erace the users scent. However the anime seems to contradict this.22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:10, November 9, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
We either list him as a user of this or Jiraiya's tech, nope? Complicated and confusing :(--Elveonora (talk) 14:16, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
Citation Needed
Why is a citation needed for the sound possibly being able to expose the technique? —This unsigned comment was made by Princeharris1993 (talk • contribs) .
- It's probably something that was seen in an anime only filler episode, so it's not something that is as easily checked as it was something from the manga. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:31, December 31, 2019 (UTC)

I'm a very lucky lady. I mean that statement in its most honest form. I'm filled this morning with swells of happy sappiness. Thick, gooey, need-a-harsh-chemical-to-get-it-all-off, kind of sappiness. The kind that people think is cute and then wonder what's wrong with you, kind of sappiness. I can't help it. It's who I am.
Sleepy, eyes ringed in dark circles, but with a brain energized, I got home to Boston from Washington, DC, last night. I spent the weekend putting voices to names and photos I only knew from a tweet or an email. Lovely, lilting, laughing voices who are still in my head this morning, making me smile from ear-to-ear. Seriously people, I'm sitting here at my laptop with a massive grin on my face as I write.
I jetted (doesn't that sound fabulous? I jest.) down to D.C. for Eat, Write, Retreat, my first-ever blogging conference. I don't want to recap it entirely for you. I'd never do it justice. I could never catch the spirit of the amazing people I met and from which I learned. I'll say this, I'm blessed to be part of this community of food bloggers. We have so much to learn from one another, and everyone is so eager to share what they know, and what they don't.
When I first sat down to my table for dinner on Saturday night to a table full of people I had never met in real life, several of my fellow food writers said, "You're just like you are on Twitter!". It was probably the most cherished thing said to me the entire weekend. Why? I strive to be honest here, to give you a little slice of something from my kitchen, and from my life. I want people to know the joy my kitchen creates for me, and hopefully for them. You can't go through life pretending you're something you're not. It's exhausting. This is me, you get the whole deal.
I have a lot to say about this weekend, but it's still marinating in my brain. It's not ready to be thrown on the grill yet, it needs time to soak up all the amazing flavor it has been given. So instead, I'll give you cupcakes. Don't lecture me on how cupcakes are "so over". Get over it. They taste like birthday parties in elementary school, they go anywhere, they're classic. Nothing that tastes amazing should ever be passé. It should be cherished like the scrawl on the cupcake recipe card you have stashed in a box, you know, the one your mother gave you.
So to all of my fellow attendees from Eat, Write, Retreat this weekend, the amazing organizers of Robyn Webb and Casey Benedict, the amazing panels that allowed our thoughts to grow, the sponsors who made our suitcases nearly burst at the seams on the way home, this one's for you. A simple cupcake to nibble on and look back on this weekend. Thank you for the journey and I hope there are many more to come.
Chocolate Bourbon Toffee Cupcakes
Yield: 18
Base recipes adapted from: David Lebovitz and Joy of Baking
You might be saying, "where's the local in this?". I've explained before, I believe baking from scratch at home is the ultimate local, but in this case, several ingredients used are local/regional. The flour hails from King Arthur in Vermont, but more importantly the semi-sweet chocolate used in the frosting is from Taza Chocolate in Somerville, MA. They're amazing on all fronts, please check them out. The frosting recipe will make extra, but that's OK, you can never go wrong with extra frosting.
9 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups (195 grams) cake flour (not self-rising)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup strong coffee (or water, but I recommend the coffee), cooled
1/2 cup whole or low-fat milk (I used low fat)
3/4 cup of milk-chocolate covered toffee pieces (such as Heath's baking pieces)
8 ounces (240 grams) semi-sweet baking chocolate
1 1/3 cup (200 grams) unsalted butter, softened
2 cup (250 grams) confectioner's (icing) sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons bourbon
Milk-chocolate covered toffee pieces (such as Heath's baking pieces)
Sea Salt
Set the rack in your oven to the center, and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Take two cupcake/muffin pans and butter top of each pan and fill the little holes with your favorite cupcake liner, and set them aside. (You'll have one full pan, one half full)
Now, sift together the cocoa powder, cake flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, or by hand, beat together the butter and sugar about a minute until it becomes smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
In a glass measuring cup or bowl, combine the coffee and the milk.
Stir half the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, add the coffee/milk mixture and then stir in the other half of the dry ingredients.
Finally, you can stir in your toffee chips. If you do this in a stand mixer, do it on the "stir setting", and make sure they don't get pulverized by the paddle. It's almost easier to simply stir the pieces in by hand.
Now take that batter, and pour it into your little cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 of the way full. Pop them in the oven and bake until a toothpick comes out of the center cleanly, about 19-21 minutes.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in their pan 5 minutes, and then let them cool completely on a wire baking rack. As the cupcakes cool, let's make your frosting.
In a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water), melt your chocolate, stirring constantly. Take the chocolate off the heat, and allow to cool to room temperature.
While the chocolate is cooling, beat your butter in a stand mixer (or with a hand variety) until smooth and creamy (about a minute). Add your confectioner's sugar to the mixture and continue beating until fluffy (about two minutes). Stir in your vanilla extract and your chocolate. Beat the frosting on low speed until everything is combined. Finally, add your bourbon and increase speed to medium-high until frosting is smooth and shiny (about two to three minutes).
If you'd like, using a long piping tip and a bag, you can pipe a bit of the frosting into the center of each cooled cupcake, or you can simply frost the top in any fashion you like. Sprinkle some chocolate-covered toffee bits and a touch of sea salt on top and enjoy!

Institute for Astronomy to hold first Maui Open HouseUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Jeffrey Kuhn, (808) 956-8968
UH Institute for Astronomy
The University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy will be holding its first Maui Open House on Friday, September 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. at its new building, the Maikalani Advanced Technology Research Center. There will be fun activities for all ages: laboratory tours and demonstrations, talks about the latest discoveries, stargazing through telescopes, and "Ask a Scientist," a chance to have your questions answered by an expert.
The ATRC is located at 34 Ohia Ku Street in the Kulamalu Town Center, Pukalani, which is above Kamehameha Schools. Admission is free. Please park on the street unless you need handicapped parking, which is available.
Talks will include "What's Really Going On at the Institute for Astronomy on Maui," "The Akamai Program: Advancing Local Students into High Tech Careers," and "Computer Models of Solar Eruptions." There will also be interactive talks entitled "24 hours of Sunlight: South Pole Science" and "Where's Waldo? Restoring Images."
"We are so pleased to finally be able to share our new building and our work with the Maui community," said IfA Director Rolf-Peter Kudritzki. "The new facility is necessary to support our work on Haleakala in solar astronomy, and now the Pan-STARRS PS1 telescope, which is just beginning its work. The building is an important addition to the technology infrastructure on Maui."
"This new facility brings laboratory capabilities to Maui that we've never had before. It strengthens the already blossoming academic technical partnerships in astronomy," said Jeff Kuhn, Associate Director of the IfA for Maui.
"Maikalani," literally means "from the heavens" but also has the cultural meaning "things we gain from the cosmos."
The state-of-the-art ATRC includes laboratory workspace for microfabrication, advanced metrology and optical/infrared sensor development. The ATRC's provisions for optical testing with day or nighttime astronomical sources make this an ideal facility for remote sensing instrument development.
For more information: http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/specialevents/MauiOpenHouse2007.html
Founded in 1967, the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa conducts research into galaxies, cosmology, stars, planets, and the sun. Its faculty and staff are also involved in astronomy education, deep space missions, and in the development and management of the observatories on Haleakala and Mauna Kea.

(for outstanding contributions to international hockey)
Gord Miller (CAN)Born: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, June 21, 1964Gord Miller's dedication to the annual U20 at a time when most people happily vacation in the sun has helped TSN make the "World Junior Championships" one of the most successful hockey broadcasts in North America. His support and his dedication to the tournament, which stretches to 18 years and counting, the respect he commands from the broadcast booth, and his knowledge of the event and its history are unparalleled.For millions of Canadians, for whom the IIHF World Juniors have become an essential Christmas and New Year's tradition, Miller's voice and characteristic play-by-play style have come to personify the event.He started working at TSN in 1990 as a reporter, and three years later he started a career in the broadcast booth at the IIHF World Championships. In short order he was doing the NHL, Memorial Cup, and Women's World Championship, and in 2001 he worked as the English play-by-play man for the Montreal Canadiens telecasts.In 2002, Miller became the top play-by-play man for TSN and drew work appropriate to his reputation, culminating with the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. But while he is well-known in North America for his NHL assignments, his true passion and greatest contributions have been with TSN's remarkable coverage of the IIHF U20 World Championship.Miller first hosted the U20 in 1993 from the TSN studios, and two years later he started an 18-year run of annual Christmastime trips to the event. He worked first as a colour man and in 2002 started doing play-by-play for which he is now famous.In 2008, Miller was nominated for a Gemini Award (Canadian TV) for Best Play-by-Play Announcer for his work at the 2008 World U20 gold-medal game between Canada and Sweden in the Czech Republic.

As the year winds down, WitOut collects lists from comedy performers and fans of their favorite moments, comedians, groups, shows, etc. from the last year in Philly comedy. Top 5 of 2012 lists will run throughout December–if you'd like to write one, pitch us your list at email@example.com!
The Musical Brilliance of Doogie Horner – Anyone who has seen Doogie Horner perform stand-up before has probably seen him emulating R&B backup singers or singing depressing Irish folk music. In 2012, I had the pleasure of seeing Doogie both freestyle rap and jam out with a celebrity. In January at the Raven Lounge, on an evening where there was a sketch group dressed like Rabbis (or Rabbanim if you will) who rapped about being Jewish for 10 minutes and got zero laughs, Doogie had finished his set and as host Tom Cassidy walked up, Doogie decided to freestyle rap about Tom Cassidy's zipper on his sweatshirt. You'd think this would be just as strange as Rabbis rapping about being Jewish, but Doogie had the entire room laughing. Nine months later, after doing a week with Doogie at Helium, Craig Robinson (The Office, Hot Tub Time Machine) who was in the area doing a gig set up his keyboard in the bar area after the club closed and jammed out. While singing "Papa was a Rolling Stone" Doogie stepped in and sang some impromptu lyrics, and had Craig, his band, and the entire room laughing their asses off.
Keith Purnell and the Nudists – By far one of the weirdest gigs I did all year was emceeing a show at a Nudist camp. There were about 80 nudists, who were all senior citizens, sitting on folding chairs facing the stage (spread-eagle I might add). I'd be lying if I said it wasn't weird, and it visibly threw me off my game a little bit. Keith Purnell was the headliner, and he handled it like a pro. It was an outdoor gig but the stage was covered by a tarp, and it started to rain VERY hard. The nudists didn't flinch, because they didn't have any clothes on they were worried about getting wet. Keith performed for an hour including doing an ENCORE set, which included completely nude soaking wet men joining him on stage every five to ten minutes to try and get rain water out of the tarp covering the stage. At one point one of these men started to pretend to hump Keith from behind in an attempt to get a laugh, to which Keith responded "Do I look like a heroin addict? Then get that needle dick off stage."
Becca Trabin on the Risk Podcast "Live from Philly" – I have only seen Becca perform stand-up twice and they were both at open mics at Helium. The first was over a year ago, and the second was last month, where she had noticeably improved and has obviously become a hell of a performer. However I received a recommendation from someone to check out the "Live from Philly" episode of the Risk podcast, which is not a comedy podcast but a podcast where people tell true stories, and Becca was featured. I won't ruin it for anyone who hasn't listened to it, but even listening to it in podcast form and not seeing it live, it is one of the most impressive performances of any kind I've ever heard. As someone who considers them self to be a pretty emotionless robot, it knocked me square on my ass. You're doing yourself a disservice by not checking it out.
Kevin Ryan gives a math lecture in Delco – If you haven't gotten a gig in Delco where you try and tell jokes to drunken Delconians in the type of bar where the average number of teeth per mouth is seven, well you're missing out on a unique comedy experience. Some of those shows end up being fantastic, however an equal number of those shows end up being a nightmare. One particular nightmare featured an early act from a cross-dressing 250 pound hairy man doing slam poetry about being a lesbian and how much he/she enjoyed oral sex with women. If anyone is wondering what the absolute best way to turn off a comedy show audience would be…it's that. Kevin Ryan however completely flipped the audience back into comedy mode and took a bullet for every comedian that went up after him. After five minutes of stage time where the bar was simply not listening, Kevin started berating the audience for not listening and threatened to spend the rest of his time on stage giving a math lecture since "no one in the audience had obviously finished grade school." It was hilarious to everyone, including the very people he was insulting, and it was also the night I learned some audiences love abuse.
Greg Lynn in Roxborough – This one is going to sound counterintuitive to everything you may think a comedian SHOULD do on stage, but Greg Lynn walked half of a 12 person audience…and it was the funniest thing I saw all year. I should point out this was a show that was supposed to be headlined by someone who cancelled his appearance, started an hour late, and the half audience that Greg walked didn't particularly want to be there and frankly I'm not sure why they were. After a few comics bombed, Greg brought energy to the stage that was seriously lacking all show, and had every comedian and the half of the crowd who stayed pissing in their pants. You may think the comedians who went after him were mad half the audience left, but I was one of those comedians, and it completely changed the energy of the show in a positive way. Somehow Greg Lynn walking half the audience with his demented comedy from hell saved the show.

PFLAG v. Camdenton R–III School Dist., 2012 WL 510877 (W.D.Mo. Feb. 16, 2012)
Several website publishers that provide supportive resources directed at lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth filed a First Amendment lawsuit against a school district over the district's use of internet filtering software. Plaintiffs asked the court for an injunction against the district's alleged practice of preventing students' access to websites that expressed a positive viewpoint toward LGBT individuals.
The court granted a preliminary injunction. It found that by using URL Blacklist software, the district (despite its assertions to the contrary) engaged in intentional viewpoint discrimination, in violation of the website publishers' First Amendment rights. The URL Blacklist software — which relied in large part on dmoz.org — classified positive materials about LGBT issues within the software's "sexuality" filter, and it put LGBT-negative materials under "religion," which were not blocked.
It found that the plaintiffs had a fair chance of success on the merits of their First Amendment claims. The school district had claimed it was simply trying to comply with a federal law that required the blocking of content harmful to minors. But the court found that the chosen method of filtering was not narrowly tailored to meet that interest.
One may wonder whether Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act could have protected the school district in this lawsuit. After all, 47 U.S.C. 230(c)(2)(A) provides that:
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—
(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected. . . . (Emphasis added.)
Section 230 would probably not have been much help, because the plaintiffs were seeking injunctive relief, not money damages. An old case called Mainstream Loudoun v. Bd. of Trustees of Loudoun, 24 F. Supp. 2d 552 (E.D. Va. 1998) tells us that:
[Section] 230 provides immunity from actions for damages; it does not, however, immunize [a] defendant from an action for declaratory and injunctive relief. . . . If Congress had intended the statute to insulate Internet providers from both liability and declaratory and injunctive relief, it would have said so.
One could understand the undesirability of applying Section 230 to protect filtering of this sort even without the Mainstream Loudoun holding. If Section 230 completely immunized government-operated interactive computer service providers, allowing them to engage freely in viewpoint-based filtering, free speech would suffer in obvious ways. And it would be unfortunate to subject Section 230 to this kind of analysis, whereby it would face the severe risk of being unconstitutional as applied.

In these weeks of Easter, we've been hearing the stories of Jesus resurrection appearances: the empty tomb; Jesus appearing to the disciples in the Locked room; the road to Emmaus; and now comes this passage from John's gospel. Like all John's writing it has layer up on layer on meaning hidden within it, and one has to dig deep in order to reveal the hidden truths contained within it.
The first question one might want to ask, is why those who wrote the Lectionary, put it in for this particular Sunday during the Easter Season? The answer I suspect is all to do with finding new life, and for the followers of Jesus, new life was to be found through him. The Gospel for today comes from Chapter 10, but if we recall those words from Chapter 6, which we often read at Funerals, Jesus tells us that he is The Way, the truth, and the Life.
But back to today's Gospel. Here Jesus gives us an image of the Shepherd and the sheep. This I believe is classical parable territory for Jesus, for so often in trying to describe a deep theological point of view, he literally looks to what is around him, and uses it as a means of describing something about God or himself, in a way which will relate to those who are listening. It doesn't take much for us to work out that humanity is represented by the sheep, and the Shepherd in this stance is Jesus himself. The thief and bandit will follow their own way, and potentially lead others astray. But those who hear the voice of Jesus, and go where ever he calls them, will have life, and as John tells us have it abundantly.
In the Lectionary for these weeks of Easter, instead of an Old Testament passage as our first reading, we're given passages from The Acts of the Apostles. We begin to hear how the early Church came together, how many people came to be baptised by the disciples and the early Apostles, and how the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
In today's passage from Chapter 2, we are told that All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the good will of all the people.
These new Christians soon began to form small communities, living together in a communal way, and before very long, there was a need to provide some coherent structure to their way of living. This model of living in community was the precursor to the monastic way of life, which was founded by both St Francis and St Benedict.
During my Sabbatical, I've been reading and studying and writing about Benedictine spirituality. This comes partly because in my own spiritual journey, I've always found the monastic tradition attractive, and as a child grew up in Cambridge, where the sight of Franciscan monks was an everyday experience. But it also comes, because I've been exploring Minster's, medieval and contemporary, and monasticism, and here at Halifax, this building was initiated by monks from Cluny, with a strong Benedictine spirituality, and I wanted to get a better insight into what their lives might have been like, and what it was that energized them to begin building this wonderful Minster, we see today.
I'm not going to talk about Benedict, that will come another day, but I do want to reflect with you on some of elements which have dominated his spirituality and the communities he founded and follow his Rule. I think it would be good to say that Benedict valued both a vertical and a horizontal relationship with God: vertical in the sense that as Christians we can have a personal relationship with God and Jesus which is intimate and personal, yet at the same time God is to be found in a horizontal relationship through one's neighbour, as found in community life. He tries to hold them together, as in the shape of the Cross.
The very early monasteries Benedict founded were quite small, with no more than 25 people living together, usual there wasn't a priest, and the community was made up of Lay people, who were giving their lives to God and living together in community. Benedict's Rule, was to provide a framework under which the community could live and thrive, and embraced the three vows of obedience, stability, and 'conversatio morum' – conversion of life.
The vow of obedience is better described as a vow of listening: of spending time listening to God and Jesus, to the Rule, to the Abbott, to the other members of the community. To listen attentively to what we hear is much more than giving it passing attention, going in one ear and out the other. It means we have to listen whether we like it or not, whether we find it agreeable or disagreeable. If we stop listening to what we find hard to hear, then we're likely to pass God by without even noticing him. It is out of obedience we can show that we have been paying close attention. So to obey means to hear and act upon what we have heard.
The second vow of the community is that of stability. It raises the whole issue of commitment and fidelity. This becomes a stark reality to the new novice who seeks entry into the community, and is tested over a long period, before making his final promises. Each stage in the process the Rule is presented, and with an opportunity to either stand firm and stay, or to feel free to take one's leave. Here we are confronted with a basic human need – we all need to feel at home, to feel earthed. It is impossible to say 'who am I'? without first asking. 'where am I? Where have I come from and where am I going? Without roots we cannot discover where we belong, without stability we cannot know our true selves. For the world is a demanding place, we are pushed and pulled by many conflicting demands on our time, our money and energy. Instead of living in a bewildering and exhausting environment, monastic stability calls us to accept a particular community, place and people, this and no other, as the way to God.
For Benedict stability is about persevering with patience in community life. The good order and stability of the whole community enables the individual to have space and time to enter into personal dialogue with God. Again we can see the diffusion of a vertical relationship between God and humanity, and that horizontal relationship between humanity living in community with others. The stability of the monastic house can leave one feeling trapped and enclosed, or it can provide the structure for true freedom and the recognition that at the heart of seeking God, is the realization that he dwells inside each of us richly, if only we had the time and the stability of life to find him.
The third vow of the community is that of 'conversatio morum'. Essentially having made the vows of obedience or listening, and then of stability, this third vow is about entering into a life- long process of transformation. It speaks of being open to the Spirit in a process of changing into the likeness of God, as to be found in the person of Jesus. It's about learning to surrender our own desire and need for control, to that which God wants us to become. For Benedict it was about the implications of saying 'yes' to Jesus' call to follow him. For in doing so we are called to a journey in which we are called to lose our lives in order to find eternal life. This has meant different things to different people in different contexts. Dietrich Bonhoeffer in The Cost of Discipleship maps out the call to follow Christ in costly obedience. 'When Christ calls a man' Bonhoeffer wrote, 'He bids him come and die'. For some people this may be about literally dying for one's faith, but for the majority of us, it will be about dying to oneself, and handing our lives over to the one who is our creator, redeemer and sustainer.
The Rule focuses the community on living as Easter people. Community life both corporately and individually, vertically and horizontally, is about sharing in Christ's death and resurrection. Benedict is clear that we need to live in the light of the resurrection and sing those Alleluias throughout the Easter season, but we can't have the joy of Easter without the depth of pain and despair which is to be found in Christ's Passion. It's only through the pain of dying that we can find new life in Christ, who is The Way, the truth and the life. This conversion of living is a life- long process, as we live out our life in relationship with those around us, either in community or family life, or the networks we currently inhabit. Community in the twenty first century for many is to be found on-line and in electronic format. This brings new demands and challenges to living in community.
The daily routine of monastic life is that of worship, study of the Scriptures and holy texts, and manual labour, which includes the running of the estate and putting food on the table. The work of the day, the opus Dei, is punctuated by times of prayer and worship, with the running of the house, food to sow and harvest, cook and prepare, and money to be raised, to pay for the consumables needed for community life.
Some of the questions for us here in the Minster today, is to ask ourselves if we think this model of living still has something to say to the contemporary world in which we live, and to our own Minster community life? Is there a new monasticism for the 21st century? How do we punctuate the work of our day and that of the Minster with prayer? When do we sit down together to study the Scriptures and holy texts, alongside the mission and ministry of this very busy space, both a gathering place for the whole community, and liturgical place for the praying community?
God touches the world through our hands,
rough hands to build,
gentle hands to soothe pain, fear and anxiety,
artistic hands to show God's beauty;
hands to write prose, poetry and theology,
each used to manifest Christ in the world,
gifts differing,
yet all flow from the same spirit.

Here is one of, in my opinion, one of the best toys ever...
I was 8 years old when the Playmobil figurines appeared in Spain, but they did under the brand Famobil, because between 1976 and 1983 they were made in Spain by the Famosa toys factory (one of the big Spanish firms in this field, with dozens of famous dolls for girls, such as the famous Nancy, the Spanish answer to Barbie, although it was much bigger in size).
The nicest part of this Famobil stuff is that in Spain they were called in a different way. They were officailly known as "Los click de Famobil" so we kids played with out clicks, not with our playmobils... And when female figurines were made they were called "clacks" (I guess you all know that in Spanish a female item, and a woman's name, is usually ended in "A", so any "A" would denote female in oposition to "O", masculine - of course there are dozens of exceptions in this rule), and when kids were made a few years later, they were called mini-clicks and mini-clacks...
I have got... a lot of Playmobil figurines, new and old, but of course those I like the best are the designs from the 1970s. I love them, really. If you look at them they have this unique 70s look about them. The newer ones ar really nice, and there is a bunch of funny designs I simply adore, such as the nun or the vampire, or the complete Nativity scene... but nothing compares to an old simple single coloured original Playmobil figurine with its one piece one colour arms -no hands appart- or with its lower body, legs and feet in just one piece and one colour... and no silkscreen printings!
And amongst my Playmobil figurines, this king one is, truly, "the king" of them all. The first TV add I remember with them showed him and his queen and the knights in their glossy plastic armours... I couldn't but love them!

Katy Perry Joins Creative Forces With EA's The Sims
Yesterday Electronic Arts Announced their collaboration between Pop star Katy Perry and their Sims Branded Games. Below is all the up to date info provided by Electronic Arts that came in Yesterday. – Happy Reading!
January 17, 2012 10:00 AM Eastern Time
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) today announced the beginning of an extensive and exclusive creative collaboration between Katy Perry, one of today's biggest superstars, and The Sims™, one of the most popular gaming series of all-time***. In collaboration with Perry, the world-renowned The Sims Studio plans to develop multiple games within The Sims franchise featuring special Katy Perry themed in-game content and virtual goods. The relationship kicks off with a special Collector's Edition for The Sims™ 3 Showtime, launching in March 2012. Katy Perry will also be featured in all-new advertising and marketing campaigns for the brand.
"It's cool to see the Sims' stage performances in The Sims 3 Showtime decked out just like my California Dreams Tour – even my cotton candy video screens are in there! I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I'm a Sim!"
"Today marks the start of the most integrated and exciting collaboration with any artist in the history of The Sims," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music for EA. "Katy Perry has been a fan of The Sims for several years, and her Simlish recording of her hit 'Hot and Cold' featured in The Sims™ 2 series quickly became the most popular Simlish music video to date. We couldn't be more excited to work with Katy and bring her distinctive talents, style and personality to the franchise's global fan base. No performer could better represent the humor and fun of The Sims brand."
"I love how you're able to play out different stories through your Sims characters – giving them different careers and watching them succeed," said Perry. "It's cool to see the Sims' stage performances in The Sims 3 Showtime decked out just like my California Dreams Tour – even my cotton candy video screens are in there! I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I'm a Sim!"
Katy Perry became the first artist in history to spend 52 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Perry's Teenage Dream produced five #1 hits, an accomplishment equal only to Michael Jackson's Bad album and making her the only female artist in history to achieve this feat.
Katy Perry will work closely with The Sims Studio to create accessories, clothing, hairstyles, furniture and props in The Sims games that truly celebrate the imagination that she brings to her performances, music videos and life. Katy Perry will also be featured throughout The Sims television advertising campaigns, online communications and retail marketing around the world.

On the way to the top, players will have more tools to tell their Sims' stories the way they want to including the ability to customize stages, create Sims with all-new clothing options, traits, skills and lifetime wishes and interact with objects like the new pool table, karaoke machine and mechanical bull.

- Service boundaries are absolute they "how" techniques can
- Alter internal state
- Invoke external services
- They cannot
- Contain activities that are internal to another service
In this way there is no Process to Service mapping, but Service acts as a container for process, and process is the mechanism via which the capabilities of that service are realised.
The next challenge is how to model these processes within a service context. First challenge is the current tools aren't set up to do this, they like to model process as the ultimate goal and they haven't yet got to modelling business as services. This means we have to do a few work arounds. The first option is to use service models, as per the methodology, to indicate the orchestration of services to deliver capability.
If using BPMN rather than modelling the whole end to end process model the overall execution process (the numbers on the diagram) and model EACH of the invocations as individual process. Do NOT try and model this has a massive process with lots of swim lanes. This will make the transition to services harder as these process models will cross service boundaries within one process model. The challenge is to be able to create these end-to-end processes as views rather than as models, again the tools don't really help here at the moment as they are process oriented rather than service oriented.
All this is at the level at which process is a series of activities. This isn't the only level at which process and service need to interact, the other level is where process describes a broad area like "buy" which means all of those processes releated to buying. At this level the terms service and process can be reasonably interchangable because they both are used to describe broad areas. The key therefore is to identify the points at which process stops being about broad areas and about stringing activities together.
In an enterprise model this often occurs between level 2 and 3, but this isn't a fixed point so you need to be careful.
So in summary : Broad area process is pretty much interchangable with service, activity and orchestration processes are contained by services and implement capabilities of those services.

Sudden death: Beer boss loved football, fishing, philanthropy

Terry was so welcoming to me and my family when we moved to Charlottesville in 1991. His smile and spirit were infectious and I shall always remember his kindness. Although he hailed from California he gave the name of "Southern Gentleman" the proper meaning. He was a gem for Charlottesville. Many more should emulate Terry; it would be a better world.

Thanks Moderator...1st amendment at its best!!
Oh sorry that's right we live in charlottesville....my bad
All I read was ....blah blah blah... we dont really know anything but we are going to guess what happened... why not wait for the facts or honor the dudes privacy... meh I dont really care but I kinda do just a bit
Sad that a nice article about a good man who will be missed stimulates 6 comments, 3 of which have to be deleted and another one whose "handle" mocks another local who took his own life.
Disappointing but par for the course I guess in the cesspool that the Hook comments section has become.
Best down to earth and decent person in the community. He and his dad were the class of this town. Will not be replaced.
Terry was one of the best human beings I have ever had the pleasure to be around. He and My father were great friends this community has really lost one of the best. I think this article touches on many great things that he accomplished, but I really hate the fact that you all had to speculate on "What Happened." Terry is gone, and digging into "What Happened" is tacky and disrespectful. I think that more thought should go into articles like this when you still have a family out there grieving.
My Dad is pictured with Terry, DS Shiflett was one of Terry's biggest fans and considered him to be like a brother. Terry was there for my Dad until the day he died, I will never forget Terry's devotion to my Dad in his last days. May he rest in peace....
Class act. Will miss his smiling face around town. Kind thoughts and prayers to his children and grand children.
He was born in San Diego, and his last name was Sieg.
Our deepest sympathy to Mr Sieg's Family it is sad to hear such sad news,the fishing guide came into our restaurant where mr sieg dined at night after his fishing days we had a few conversations only that he enjoyed his fishing and the lovely spots that he was taken to and to finish at our place for diner.It was funny that we got into a conversation with Russell Anderson about fishing not knowing that who Mr siegs went fishing with and only to be told he had passed away.My memory of him was that everytime he ordered a bottle of wine he only drank a couple of glasses then told me the rest was for me to drink after work ,that went on for three days you can imagine how much wine i had to drink when your not a drinker but.what a lovely person he enjoyed it here in Taihape N.Z so maybe one day his family might come out here to see what he enjoyed and be welcomed by his N.Z family in maori language Kia Kaha ' Be strong Arohanui

Matt Dixon of the Florida Times Union, who I think is a fine journalist, had a piece the other day with the headline: Democratic registration all but dries up since new Florida laws.
The column has been picked up several by several outlets, including the New York Times and Rachel Maddow's Blog, and it has sparked lively discussions in such outlets as Weasel Zippers, Hullabaloo, and Addicting Info.
But Dixon's figures, which I discussed earlier today here, are wildly off the mark and completely misleading.
Yes, "new" voter registrations are down in Florida, but nowhere near are they as dire as Dixon's column suggests.
My collaborator Michael Herron at Dartmouth and I have just crunched the numbers, using data from the Florida Department of State voter files created on April 1, 2012 and April 1, 2008.
According to the state's official records, more than 155k voters registered as Democrats in 2011. Slightly less than 138k voters registered as Republicans in 2011.
Not surprisingly, given House Bill 1355's draconian restrictions placed on third party voter registration organizations (3PVROs), which went into effect on July 1, 2011 and frustrated the ability of groups like the League of Women Voters to sign up new voters, registration figures for both parties were down in 2011 compared to 2007 (28.1% fewer Floridians registered as Democrats in 2011 compared to 2007, and 15.5% fewer Floridians registered as Republicans in 2011 compared to 2007).
But these dampened voter registration figures are nowhere near those published in Dixon's column.
The bottom line: More than 155 thousand voters registered as Democrats and more than 138 thousand voters registered as Republicans in Florida in 2011. The numbers are down, but that hardly looks like "drying up" to me.

B-LINES® Care and Safety Instructions
B-LINES® Resistance Bands contain natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions.
The B-LINES Resistance Bands exercises are athletic activities involving pushing, pulling, and sometimes jumping. If you have had physical problems or surgery, particularly of the bones, joints, or muscles (and especially any history of problems with the knees, lower back, or neck), or have been inactive or sedentary for some time, you should consult a physician before starting to use the bands.
Also, because the bands have elastic properties, you should take special precautions to avoid being injured by the bands breaking or snapping back. Inspect the equipment before and after every use for scratches, nicks, cracks, and abrasion spots. Test each band's resistance carefully in each new position and begin all exercises slowly, as directed.
The greatest degree of care has been taken by the manufacturer of the B-LINES Resistance Bands to ensure that they are as safe as possible. It is the responsibility of the user to read and comply with the following safety precautions. Failure to comply may result in the possibility of injury. See your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
The B-LINES Resistance Band is well-designed and a serious exercise machine. IT IS NOT A PLAYTHING. If treated with care and seriousness and used completely in accordance with the directions, it will give you fine service. Abuse can quickly ruin its usefulness. Beachbody is not responsible for any immediate or consequential damages resulting from any abuse whatsoever or from any failure to follow these directions.

Moo is now a cult?
A great profile article appeared in today's FT featuring Richard Moross.
Richard is creating something quite special at Moo.
The Moo brand has real flavour, a defined personality - none of this happens by accident. The attention to detail is awesome.
One of the benefits of being such a cool brand is that Moo has been able to attract a really good team which is ambitious and committed to continuing to be 'remarkable'.

Reaching Twitter and Facebook via Tweetdeck
Tweetdeck now accounts for 13 % of all Twitter users. Tweetdeck is the most popular desktop client for Twitter.
Pretty remarkable for a small UK company, months old and until recently, funded partly by donations from users of the site.
Its utility keeps improving with new features and functionality. The latest of these is an application that adds Tweetdeck to Facebook connect. This means that when you send out a message from Tweetdeck, you will be able to send it to Twitter, Facebook or both.
A new column gets added to Tweetdeck showing you updates from your facebook friends.
If one of your Facebook friends is online, a green dot appears next to their name and you can initiate a chat via a pop-up window.
Techcrunch has just announced this feature which will be rolled out in the next few days.
TAG and Betaworks backed Tweetdeck. See comment on this blog on 25th January.

Total Time: 1 hr 15 min
Prep: 15 min
Inactive: 45 min
Cook: 15 min
- 3 eggplants, about 3 pounds total, sliced 3/4 inches thick
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing on vegetables, plus about 1/4 cup
- 2 large red or yellow bell peppers
- 1 recipe Piadine dough (or Doris' Own prepared pizza dough)
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
- About 1 cup pitted kalamata olives from our deli
- About 1/2 pound buffalo mozzarella cheese or provolone, coarsely shredded
- About 3 cups packed arugula
- Doris' Own Balsamic vinegar
Prepare the grill and let burn down to medium coals or heat gas grill on medium heat.
In a colander set over another bowl, salt the eggplant and let drain for 30 minutes then rinse and dry.
Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with pepper. Toss the peppers with a little olive oil. Place both on the grill and cook the eggplant until browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. The slices should be browned between the grill marks when ready to turn. Move them away from direct heat and cook on the second side until tender, about 10 minutes total. Cut the grilled slices into 1/2-inch dice.
Cook the peppers, turning as necessary, until charred all over. Remove the peppers to a bowl. Cover and let the peppers steam to loosen the skins. When cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and tear into long, thin strips.
Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Working on a surface free of flour, roll each ball under your palm. As it rolls, it will stick slightly to the surface, creating tension that helps form a tight, round ball. Dust the work surface lightly with flour, pat each ball down lightly, dust the tops with flour, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 15 minutes. With a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a circle 8 or 9 inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick.
Have the grill ready at medium heat. Have the 1/4 cup olive oil, eggplant, peppers, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, if using, olives, and cheese in bowls and ready by the side of the grill.
Brush each dough round with about 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Place on the grill, oiled side up, and cook until browned on the underside, about 2 minutes. Turn and, working quickly, brush each round with another 1 teaspoon olive oil. Then scatter each with 1/6 each of the garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, if using, eggplant, bell peppers, olives, and cheese. Cover the grill and cook until the rounds are browned on the bottom and the cheese has softened, about 7 minutes. Transfer to plates and top each with an equal amount of the arugula. Spritz lightly with vinegar. Serve immediately.

UPDATE: At 2:29 p.m. PT, George did post a photo of a Jeopardy answer mentioning his Star Trek character, Sulu.
#TakeiTuesday, or #WilliamShatnerWednesday?
George Takei has been big on the social media front as of late, but noticeably absent from one arena - Google Plus. There has been a Google Plus account with his name on it for some time, but no activity, or even mention of it - until yesterday.
Popular G+ user, and Star Trek fangirl, Stephanie Van Pelt, made a post rallying fans to see if they could get a response from Takei and get him active on his G+ account.
She coined the hashtag #TakeiTuesday, for fans to use in order to grab the actor's attention.
Van Pelt said:
"G+ is a community full of sci-fi geeks and nerds. We have an amazing, vibrant community. Us geeks and nerds are pretty great at fandom - look at all our conventions. Now we have a star like George Takei who's embracing social media, but he's neglecting a key area that is densely populated with his core demographic. He's funny, witty and a sheer joy to follow. We all miss him here!"
Fans posted, and managed to grab Takei's ear. On his Facebook page, he wrote:
"Fans on google+ started #TakeiTuesday that trended to #2 yesterday. My twitter feed was awash with it! So, I'm negotiating with Brad over whether I've the time to establish a new base on google+ in addition to my FB, Twitter and Pinterest. In the meantime, I've got a little pied-à-terre there now. Brad said if we get 250K fans to "circle" me (did I say that right?) it might be worth populating the profile with content. So, we'll see."
However, like all things Internet - there is drama.
If you go to Takei's G+ profile, you'll see that while it is verified, there are no posts. It seems he's sticking to the plan not to post until he reaches 250k followers.
Fellow shipmate, William Shatner, chimed in on his own Google Plus page saying:
"What's this about George and needing 250k plussers to interact? Is that true? Good grief or should I say good greedy?"
Oh myyy.
It should be pointed out that Shatner has nearly a million and a half followers.
Maybe there's a reason Sulu was only captain of the Excelsior.

SEATTLE - Robinson Cano is trading pinstripes for the Pacific Northwest.
The free agent second baseman and the Seattle Mariners have reached agreement on a deal, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Friday.
ESPN reported earlier Friday that the contract was worth $240 million for 10 years.
The person told the AP that the deal was pending a physical that had not yet been scheduled. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement.
Music mogul Jay-Z, whose Roc Nation has partnered with CAA Baseball to represent Cano, was in Seattle for talks that began Thursday and stretched into Friday. Agent Brodie Van Wagenen of CAA Baseball and Juan Perez of Roc Nation Sports also were in attendance.
Cano had spent his entire career with the New York Yankees and was a five-time All-Star. He played in 160 games last season and hit .314 with 27 homers and 107 RBIs.
The Yankees had offered $175 million over seven years. New York went 85-77 last season and missed the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years; Seattle went 71-91 and hasn't been in the playoffs since 2001.
"He was a great Yankee. He was a great player. I think everybody tried hard to get the deal done. We just never got close enough obviously. We wish him the best. We hope he has a long, healthy career," Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said Friday. "We're going to keep going. We're still looking at all the same guys that we were looking at a week ago or two ago. We're going to continue to improve. We're not done spending."
The Mariners weren't saying much of anything.
"We are not able to confirm any news regarding Robinson Cano at this time. If and when an agreement is completed and finalized, we will announce," the team said in a statement.
The deal would be tied for the fourth-richest contract in baseball history and a striking blow from a franchise that's done little to get noticed for the past decade.
Only the two deals signed by Alex Rodriguez — first with Texas and then the Yankees — and Joey Votto's contract with Cincinnati were worth more. Albert Pujols also signed a $240 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels.
Cano posted a .899 on-base plus slugging percentage last season and finished fifth in American League most valuable player voting.
He's been one of the most durable players in baseball for the past seven seasons, missing only 14 out of 1,120 games since the start of the 2007 season. He's a career .309 hitter who has averaged 24 homers and 97 RBIs per season. Cano has hit at least 25 homers and had a slugging percentage above .500 in every season since 2009.
Cano could be the anchor for a lineup that's lacked consistency at the plate most of the past decade.
Between 2009 and 2012, Seattle's offence ranked last in baseball in batting average, and was near the bottom in runs scored and homers. The Mariners showed some pop this past season with 188 home runs — second-most in baseball — but 52 of those came from the combo of Kendrys Morales and 41-year-old Raul Ibanez, both free agents.
It's the second straight off-season Seattle will have made a massive financial commitment after giving a $175 million, seven-year deal to ace Felix Hernandez last winter. Seattle has plenty of financial room to make significant cash commitments because the only major contracts on the books for 2014 are for Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma, and only Michael Saunders and Justin Smoak are entering arbitration.
Helping provide room to increase the payroll is the Mariners' investment in a new regional sports network that is expected to net Seattle significant revenue in the coming years and it's not a surprise the club was able to make such a staggering offer.
But finalizing a deal with Cano won't solve all of Seattle's problems. It's a start, immediately adding a legitimate slugger to the middle of a lineup that finally showed some pop last season after years of floundering with one of the worst offences in baseball. The Mariners have plenty of other problems to solve, including adding another established starter to their rotation and finding solutions for an outfield filled with questions.
The potential acquisition of Cano could mean a move is made with Nick Franklin or Dustin Ackley. Franklin became Seattle's starting second baseman for the majority of last season after an early promotion from the minors. He showed flashes at the plate but slumped badly in the later months of the season and his defence was always a concern.
Ackley was Seattle's second baseman of the future when he was selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2009 draft, but went through his own hitting swoon. Ackley was demoted to the minors to try to find his swing and was moved from second base to playing in the outfield.
AP Baseball Writers Ronald Blum in New York and Janie McCauley in San Francisco and AP freelance writer Mark Didtler in Tampa, Fla., contributed to this report.

Mad River Glen's Triple Crown competition series continued last weekend with the Mad River Glen Mogul Challenge on March 20.
Competitors were treated to a spring day with sunshine and a bumper crop of sweet corn snow. The competitors showed off their skills on the trail Chute, directly under Mad River's Single Chair.
The competitors each skied two runs and were scored two-thirds based on
skiing and one-third based on air, with the best run counting towards
final results. The Mad River Glen freeride team dominated the men's
alpine division by sweeping the top six places. Tom Licata of Burlington
grabbed the gold, Dylan Dipentima took silver and Carson Barbour
snatched bronze.
The Sugarbush Diamond Dogs equally dominated the women's division as their coach Ashleigh Bergstrom took home first place followed by fellow coach Liana Sideli. Their 12-year-old protégé, SJ Grundon, finished hard on their heels finishing in third place.
The men's telemark division was won by GMVS Nordic coach and former Triple Crown telemark champion Justin Beckwith. Vertical Challenge champion Tim Shepard of Fayston took second place and another former Triple Crown champ, Dave Bouchard of Hinesburg, grabbed the bronze.
The final leg of the Triple Crown is the Unconventional Terrain competition to be held on Saturday, March 27. Visit www.madriverglen.com for complete results from the Mogul Challenge and more information on the Triple Crown Competition Series.

You know the old saying, "Denial is the first sign..."? Yeah, well, with hipsters, the more angrily a person denounces the tag, the more applicable it is too them. With that, let us kick back and watch the trailer for the 2012 Sundance entrant, "I Am Not a Hipster."
Not a lot to work with there, as it's all atmosphere and music, but it clearly follows the life of an angsty hipster making art and music with his beautiful/talented friends. According to the synopsis (via Sundance), it's "a character-driven story exploring themes of love, loss and what it means to be creative in the face of tragedy."
