The National Immigration Project of the NLG is also lining up volunteer immigration attorneys. Local NLG chapters in California including Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, and San Diego will be ready to provide legal support on the US side, building upon work done during the previous migrant caravan with Pueblo Sin Fronteras that arrived in April earlier this year.


The R-rated trailer for the upcoming sci-fi time-travel comedy Hot Tub Time Machine suggests it is the latest in a string of raunchy guy movies, and co-star Chevy Chase promised it will have its share of profanity.
"It has to be [R] because I've never heard so many F words in my life," Chase said in a group interview Wednesday in Pasadena, Calif., where he was promoting his NBC comedy Community at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. "I guess that gives it an automatic R. In fact, I'm the only guy who doesn't swear, frankly."
In the movie, a quartet of idiot travels back in time via the title hot tub to 1986, the era of their youth. Chase plays a mysterious hot-tub repairman. He vouched for the film's edgy language. The movie stars John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Rob Corddry, Kate Walsh and Sebastian Stan.
The film wrapped only recently, and Chase said that he has not seen a rough cut, let alone a final cut, but he recalls a lot of R-rated antics. "I don't know where it stands at this point, but we had a lot of fun, and we did play with it," he said.
The F-bombs come mostly courtesy of the actors. Chase praised Cusack's ability to add to scenes on the fly.
"It's a very, very funny movie, and it's the way I like to work, and obviously John does, which is you do what's scripted on the take, you get that, and then you improvise the rest of the day instead," Chase continued. "So [there's] a lot of funny stuff coming out of that. I'm really looking forward to that movie coming out."
MGM will release Hot Tub Time Machine on Feb. 26, 2010.

Q: libstdc++ private basic_streambuf constructor According to the libstdc++ c++11 status page, Stream buffers are marked as completed.
Looking at the <streambuf> that shipped with gcc 4.8 however, the constructor and copy constructor are private (line 799). According to § 27.6.3 these should be protected, would changing them to protected when  __cplusplus >= 201103L result in nasal demons elsewhere? It does mention DR 50, what issues would that cause if any?

A: That looks like a documentation bug in the status page.
DR 50 is ancient history, the C++11 standard specifies the semantics of the copy operations.
It's not as simple as making libstdc++'s existing functions protected though: the assignment operator doesn't do anything so needs work.   But I can't see any reason it would result in nasal demons so if you file a Bugzilla report to remind us then it will get fixed.

The majority of MPs voted to cap the amount a local authority can charge for care costs and to set out the responsibilities of local authorities in relation to care as well as to reform the regulation of care and support services.
The majority of MPs voted in favour of the Care Bill at its second reading, to approve the principles of the Bill and allow it to continue on its path to becoming law.
sets out the responsibilities of local authorities in relation to care and support including "promoting individual well-being", "preventing needs for care and support" and "promoting integration of care and support with health services etc."
introduces provision for a cap on the care costs a local authority can charge an individual.
introduces a duty of candour on providers of health care and adult social care services registered with the CQC.
makes it an offence for care providers to release certain false or misleading information.
therefore declines to give a Second Reading to the Care Bill [Lords] because it is an inadequate response to the scale of the challenge facing social care and fails fully to implement the recommendations of the Francis Report.

The Ghost of Shakey's Pizza Parlor
What you're looking at on the east side of the Broadway Theater is the ghost of Shakey's Pizza Parlor. Notice the outline of the chimneys and the roofing tar.
It took a little time to figure out what had been there because the 1968 City Directory didn't have a listing for the Broadway Theater, but it DID have Shakey's Pizza Parlor (Rivermart, Inc.) at 801 Broadway. The 1979 directory listed both businesses.
Pair charged in Arson in 1981
The front page of the May 24, 1981, Missourian showed a photo of Shakey's Pizza with a story that said that two Cape Girardeau men were charged with arson and burglary as the result of a fire that heavily damaged Shakey's Pizza Parlor at 801 Broadway early Saturday morning. I won't name the two because I didn't bother to track the outcome of the case.
Sgt. Jack Reubel, a special arson investigator … said there were "five points of origin of fire" in the basement and dining area of the pizza parlor. The resulting fire heavily damaged the rear areas of the basement and dining area and caused extensive smoke damage to the upstairs portion of the building, according to firefighters.
Shakey's and Broadway sold in 1985
A June 9, 1985, business column by Frony said that the old Broadway Theater and a building adjacent to its east side were acquired by Vinyard Christian Fellowship from Kerasotes Missouri Theaters, Inc. The theater closed March 15, 1984. The adjacent two-story building had been unused since a fire several years ago had gutted the ground floor, occupied by Shakey's Pizza Parlor. The second floor was once occupied by offices of the old Southeast Missouri Telephone Co.
Fred Lynch has Frony pictures of the Blizzard of '79, including photos of Broadway being plowed.
Ray Owen's January 10, 1994, business column reported that "the fire-damaged structure which housed Shakey's Pizza Parlor more than a decade ago, is being demolished to make way for a parking lot for Kerasotes Theaters. The building was recently acquired by Kerasotes Theaters, which owns the movie house adjoining the structure. [This is a little confusing because Frony's 1985 column said Kerasotes sold the property in 1985 and that the Broadway closed in 1984. Did the deal with the church fall through and did it reopen as a theater later?]
Shakey's Pizza and Dino's Pizza must have had something good called Mojo Potatoes, based on the number of references I saw to them. Susan McClanahan ran a recipe for some that were supposed to be similar.

Judy Davis says:
Ken, we originally owned and operated Shakey's starting back in the 60's. We sold it when we got busy with McDonald's. Wish I could remember exactly how to make the mojo potatoes,but the ones Dino's serve now are close .
Tim Luckett says:
I drank many a beer, ate many pieces of chicken, ate many mojo potatoes and pizza slices at the Shakey's on Broadway back in the late 60's (while under 21) to the late 1970's. Their claim to fame were the 750 degree ovens that were never shut off. I remember it was owned by a man whose last name was Breeding. They had great food and good specials for beer to attract customers. One of my roommates worked there, Mike Ebert, in the summer of 1973. Those were the days.
Alicia Lincoln says:
In the mid 90's Kerasotes used the Broadway Theater for $1 show theater. I don't really remember when it opened or closed but I remember going there.
My Shy Reader friend sent this info:
Before it was Shakey's, that building housed the Cape Girardeau Bell Telephone Co. The company bought the building in June 1910 from Will and Jacob Stone, who
had used it as a grocery store.
It apparently took some time to move into the new quarters. I found a note in January 1911 that the telephone personnel were settled in the building.
The company moved across the street to its new building in about 1930.
By the way, I'm old enough to remember Shakeys, somewhat fondly.
They always had the greasiest pizzas! I remember we stopped there after a movie one evening. When the pie arrived, we found a napkin pasted to the underside of
the pizza. Don't think we ate there much after that. 🙂
Jim Luckett says:
My brother Tim Luckett and his football friends use to wait until patrons would leave then go sit down and finish their pizzas and beer. Those were hard times
back in the day. There was also a p;iza bar named the Last Chance right down the street from shakeys. I use to make pizzas there. Does anyone else remember the Last Chance Saloon?
Fred Lynch's blog had a couple of references to the First Chance / Last Chance Bar.
It shows up in the corner of one of the aerials on this page.
An aerial of Trinity Lutheran School shows it better.
Ricki says:
I remember the "Chance". Was too young to go in, but we thought it would be cool if we could.
If anyone remembers the Last Chance e-mail me at
J.luckster@hotmail.com. I believe it was owned by
Carl Mamanella.
Ken Roussel says:
I'll have a medium, pepperoni and shrimp,onions, bell pepper and mushrooms!!!!! Bring on the Guiness!!! Oh, my loving mind and memories of Shakey's from '65-'68, way too many calories ago!!! What gustatory revelations were achieved there remain secreted within many hearts!!!! Loved the trip down "Shakey's" lane!!!! Be Well.kkr
Mike Taylor says:
Ken, I am one of the Ghosts. I worked at Shakey's and lived upstairs in "69" and "70" as did my roommate Bill Lee. Bill and I did a lot of Dirt Bike Racing during those years and on any given night the back office of Shakey's doubled as our dirt bike workshop. Bill was on the SEMO Cross Country team in "68" and owned an Orange GTO Judge that some of you might remember seeing around town about that time, usually speeding according to Officer Jack Reubel's claims. He was never able to catch us but would come by Shakey's later and give us HEQQ. Jerry and Judy Davis sold Shakey's to Bob Breeding in early "70" and I stayed on until I left for the Army in April. Bill Lee, who also worked at McDonalds stayed on for a few more months before leaving Cape.
I've lived in Kansas City for the last 20 years. Bill Lee has been in Colorado since the mid "70s" and is the Sole Propreitor of Laughing Valley Ranch. Here's his Website for those who might be interested. It's my guess that few will recognize him on his website. Before you click be prepared and get a grip:) http://www.laughingvalleyranch.com/
What fun memories. Thanks for all you do. We always link to Amazon through your site, hope it helps.
Carole Schaefer says:
This site looks like the 1950s Tinkoff Drug Store where we enjoyed fountain service cherry cokes, shakes, and sundaes.
Ricki Griffaw Ing says:
My Mom worked at Tenhkoffs behind the counter. Probably in the 40's. I remember her talking about it. Also….I believe my grandfather, John Herbst built the building that formerly housed Howards Sporting Goods. I know he had a business there before Prohibition. Mom said they ran a little cafe there too. It was bought several years ago by SEMO and torn down.
Bob Price says:
Not sure about the Bell Telephone Story, Jerry and I Started Shakey's and the building was previously a pharmacy. They used a bank vault to store prsecription drugs in and Jerry and I used Jack Hammers and scaffolding to remove it from the middle of the building space. It took two weeks to get it out. My understanding was that a bank had owned the building before the pharmacy. I miss my piano player!! Never found a better pizza.
I have a picture of Shakey's on the CollegeHighReunion.com/blog site
Jeff Hutton says:
My favorite Shakey's pizza was Italian sausage and black olives. Their lunch buffet was awesome. I got the only swat of my life from taking Gay Gilbert there during lunch one day when we were supposed to be doing page layouts for the Cape Central school newspaper. Mrs. Lockhart somehow caught us. Coach King really wound up on me. It was a swat or a detention, which during football practice would have resulted in one of Coach Lynch's favorite Memory Drills. All it took was one of those and you never forgot. Keep up the great work, Ken!
Fred Lynch says:
Minor detail: Frony did not get out in two feet of snow to take those pictures, I did. (I'm sure if you would have been there he would have sent the kid to do it.) Thanks for the post. I remember the MoJo's while watching a Three Stooges movie shown on the wall at Shakey's.
Sorry for not giving credit where credit was due. Yeah, in 1979 you'd have still been The Kid.
Interesting how Frony tended to tell 'em to "send The Kid" back in my day, too, when it involved getting up early, staying out late or getting cold and wet.
Just goes to show that with age comes wisdom.
Paul Taylor says:
Mike Tayloe left out the part that he and Bill kept their motorcycles in the deep cellar underneath Shakey's and had to ride them up and down the steps.
He also didn't mention our captured Horned Owl that was a guest upstairs for a few weeks that got loose at least once and was running around on top off the suspended ceiling downstairs.
While in college friends and I spent a lot of time in the pharmacy drinking Cherry cokes before Shakey's came into being.
Roger Wagner says:
I worked with Bob Breeding who owned Shakey's after purchasing from the Davis' until some of his employees torched it. During the 1970's Shakey's had everything including beer, great food, streakers, and fights.
Vicki Boren says:
Wonder whatever happened to Smitty, the piano player??
Great guy and lots of good music! Old upright piano, I think!
I also remember the pharmacy and cherry cokes! Anyone have pictures of the soda fountain or the inside of Shakeys??
Gail Hennecke says:
I moved to Cape Girardeau in 1950 to 118 N. Ellis Street. The drug store on the corner was Tenkhoff Drug Store until Bill Smirl bought it and moved it across the street and it became Bill's Pharmacy. In the back of Tenkhoffs Mr. Freeman opened the Sea Drift Cafe. There were three Freeman girls, Martha and Christy '64. I cannot remember the third one. Martha was on KFVS TV. Tenkhoffs became Shakey's pizza parlor. Tenkhoffs was still around in 1964-1965 because I used to use the pay phone there.
Timothy P Keller says:
In 1992 I was in Manila, the Philippines, to get married. A couple of days before the wedding the
future Mrs. K. took me to a place called Shakeys,
both of us being fond of fried chicken. The place
also served pizza, beer, — and mojo potatoes!
My memories of the Shakeys in Cape were already dim,
but I could swear the sign outside and the decor
were the same as the one in Manila …and the
restaurant was on Broadway!
Bill Baluka says:
Ken I'm one of the ghosts of Shakeys also. I worked for Bob Breeding from May of 1971 to May of 1972 when I graduated. Bob had the old Datsun jeep.Bob called everyone "Chief" in those days. But when I moved to San Diego in 1974 wrote a letter of recommendation for me. Whenever myself and another friend of mine would visit Cape to party from St. Louis after we graduated we would stop by & see Bob. If it was busy he would ask us "Chief can you get those guys a beer at the bar" just as it we still worked there. I made a recent trip just last month to visit St. Louis to visit my sister. We drove to Cape to pick up her daughter my niece completing her freshman year. This was my first visit to Cape since 1974. I didn't expect it to look the same after 40 yers but was sad to see that parts of Broadway were run down and boarded up.I also remember the Last Chance. It was nice to see that Sheivelbines Music was still in business. I bought my first guitar there for $35. I also remember Bill Lee and his orange Judge but don;t think he remembers me. Great article
Bill Baluka Escondido CA SEMO class of 1972
Nick Cozby says:
So were the employees that burned down Shakey's brouht to justice? Why did they burn it?
I graduated CHS in 1996 so this was a bit before my time, but I find all this Cape history so interesting.
henbo says:
I lived at the very top of the chance in the attic for 1 year. Carl charged us $65/month "all utilities paid" 1 big room with a kitchen that stuck out over the roof on broadway. Bob Burgess, the chance manager lived below us and used to yell at me for playing "freebird" too loud after drinking downstairs in the bar. I used to bartend there as well with "jughead" a sig ep. this was all in the early 70's
henbo
my brother tim & i used to frequent the last chance
and shakeys. i too lived above the chance in 1974.
carl didnt charge me rent. i left with ron bnarks &
steve drury for california in april of 1974. what a
lost 3 years
Jennie Gnau says:
Hi. We are hoping to find Bob Breeding, owner of the Shakey's pizza parlor on Broadway in Cape in the late 60's early 70's. We enjoyed some good times with he and his wife Carol and were hoping to just get in touch and see how the years have passed and treated them. If you can help us get in touch, let us know. Thanks for any help. Karl and Jennie
Steve Harms says:
I worked there briefly in he late 60s. Delivered pizzas driving a 1940s or early 1950 something with floor rusted out on the drivers side. Senior year ate dinner there almost every Monday – all you could eat pizza, fried chicken and mojos. I still consider the fried chicken the best
I worked there for about 3 weeks. Bob Breeding was a slave driver, he would not give employee's a break even though it was required by Missouri state law. Long hours and a greasy unkept back room area. But the Mojo's Potatoes and Pizza were good. Each day at noon was Bunch of Lunch buffet which also had the Sunshine Fried Chicken. I loved eating there until I worked there and saw how it was all done. Thank God I was offered a better job shortly after starting, and I remember Bob was not gonna pay me when I quit because I didn't give him two weeks notice. I had only been there 3 weeks. I told him if he kept the check I would call authorities on him. He paid me with a sneer and I left never to go back. A few months after I quit I heard a couple of disgruntled employees set a fire in the basement and burned it down. It never reopened. Now there are no Shakey's Pizza Parlors in Missouri, there are several in California.

The blessing of Attunement in my living is that I have learned who I Am and to be present in that knowing — to choose in each breath alignment with Being. The Attunement current, the Tone of Being, allows me to bless and hold that which is my responsibility and to bless and release all else that passes through my field of consciousness. This allows me to create a sacred place of Being in my world … a world that would appear mundane to so many and is so rich in the current of Attunement.

A creative field is always possible where two or more people are together. The opening and maintenance of the place of union – the Vesica Piscis – takes conscious spiritual work. Chris Jorgensen

Six magnets located on the rotor and twelve iron plates on the stator. Six of the iron plates move with linear input and six remain stationary. Linear oscillation input causes rotation. It behaves much like a stepper motor. This prototype was laser cut from acrylic. A fun little project and tinker toy.
In this 2008 first attempt at an airplane I was still learning the aerodynamics of it. Didn't fly too well, but provided a great introduction into carbon fiber and the vacuum bag process. That fuselage was a beast and still to this day makes a great wiffle ball bat.
This hot air balloon was hot-iron seamed and made with 0.31 mil polyethylene. I have always wanted a hot air balloon, but this one will do for now. It was put together in one day. You preheat it with a torch and you can tether it like a kite. One preheat lasts a few hours. I have a second hot air balloon in progress – double the size, this time in black polyethylene. Conveniently, this next one will be solar heated.


"When I think of Leona Choy, I am reminded of Sarah and Elizabeth. These two women loved God, but late in life - at a time when they no longer had any reason to believe that they would conceive a child, God blessed them with the gift of life.
Leona was nearing her 80th birthday. She was a lifelong born-again, baptized-in-the-Spirit, Wheaton College graduate and evangelical missionary to China and other countries, broadcaster and writers' conference speaker. She was also the author of more than 30 books on loving God and giving one's life fully to Him.
While returning home after a book tour of what she thought were her final memoirs, God stepped in to send her on a new adventure. Why did Leona set out to study the Catholic Church? To convince a friend who had become Catholic that she was in serious error and needed to return to her evangelical roots. Love for her friend's soul motivated her to dig into Catholic teaching - in order to refute false teaching and win back her friend.
As with Sarah and Elizabeth, God was about to do a new work. An almost impossible thing. God was about to reveal to Leona - at the age of 80 - that there was more to the Catholic Church than she had ever imagined. While she expected to discover a mountain of error, she discovered a land of Truth and Beauty.
God was about to show her the Land of More.
As Leona studied Catholic teaching in order to tear it to pieces and save her friend from heresy... an amazing thing began to happen. It was Leona who became convinced that she had found - not an apostate church - but the Church that Jesus Christ HIMSELF founded.
In her book, Journey to the Land of More, Leona presents each of her perceptions of the Catholic Church, and she explains how God stripped away her misconceptions and gave her enough grace to embrace His Church.
"I hereby surrender to Truth, to the Church which Jesus established as His Body, His Bride...I surrender my past misunderstandings...I embrace Jesus wholly in His Church" (p. 136).
After four years of personal study and painstaking research, on the threshold of her 80th birthday, Leona was received into the Catholic Church. "I wanted to seize the moment and hold it fast....It was not merely a symbol; it was the real presence of Jesus Christ. I partook of His very Body and Blood (John 6)" (146 Choy).
After a lifetime spent as a happy, contented evangelical, God called Leona to a journey of great faith and discovery.
What would happen to her friends? What would she do about all those books that chronicled life as an evangelical? Would anyone listen to her or would everyone think she had gone a little crazy?
Would she be put on a shelf, to be forgotten by those who just couldn't go there.
What did God have for a woman whose life was nearly spent? Why in the world would He call her to this path?
When I think of Leona, again I think of Sarah and Elizabeth. When they began to feel those first flutters of life within their once-barren wombs, did they feel as Leona did when she began to realize that God was not showing her how to convince her friend of Catholic error, but instead He was convincing her that the Catholic Church was His Church?
When Sarah and Elizabeth held their sons and those little boys reached up to touch the weathered faces of their mothers, was that how Leona felt when she received Jesus Christ - Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity - in the Eucharist. Was it a stirring up of new life, a kind of spiritual birthing, a gift that had once seemed impossible?
What does it take for a woman in her 80s to say yes to such a profound change of heart? It's grace! Leona Choy is Catholic by Grace! Over and over in her book, Leona repeats one line: God has had His hand on her life—her entire life. And it was His good pleasure to show her something new, something beautiful, something unexpected in the Catholic Church.


The sender then complained that my brief contained two small typos and one incomplete citation. Thankfully, all of these mistakes were in pro forma portions of the brief that the judges were unlikely to read, but I felt awful about them, particularly after spending nearly three weeks drafting and proofreading the damn thing. I read the brief from cover to cover multiple times, as did several other attorneys involved in the case, and not one of us caught those errors.
Why didn't we catch them?
The reason typos get through isn't because we're stupid or careless, it's because what we're doing is actually very smart, explains psychologist Tom Stafford, who studies typos of [sic] the University of Sheffield in the UK. "When you're writing, you're trying to convey meaning. It's a very high level task," he said.
As with all high level tasks, your brain generalizes simple, component parts (like turning letters into words and words into sentences) so it can focus on more complex tasks (like combining sentences into complex ideas). … When we're proof reading our own work, we know the meaning we want to convey. Because we expect that meaning to be there, it's easier for us to miss when parts (or all) of it are absent. The reason we don't see our own typos is because what we see on the screen is competing with the version that exists in our heads.
So, the occasional typo isn't necessarily an indication of shoddy work, as the well-intentioned grump implied in her message to me. It just happens, particularly under time constraints and limited resources.
Although typos can change the meaning of a sentence or, more seriously, the meaning of a legal document,** they are usually harmless, despite the strong reaction they generate in readers.
As for the brief I filed, the Court didn't seem to notice the typos. I'm pleased to say that the case turned out the way I hoped it would.
Now, I'm knee-deep in another appellate brief, which might contain plenty of the typical typos found in the early drafts of legal documents: statute→statue, harass→harrass, and, sadly, public→pubic.
Hopefully, we'll catch them all before we file. If not, I'm sure a little birdie will let me know after-the-fact.
*The image quotes a line from An Ode to a Spelling Checker by Jerrold H. Zar & Mark Eckman.
Feel better about my typos already!! Especially when so many people proofread but don't notice typos! To combat the meaning thing, especially if it's your own text, I've learned to proofread my texts backwards. It takes ages so I only do it for work but caught a few that way. Funnily other people's typos never another me, only my own!
It's even worse on my phone! The keyboard isn't very responsive and I believe my phone literally hates me or holds a grudge against me, which causes me to embarrass myself so often. Sigh. But I know most people don't care because we all make simple mistakes.
Maybe now I won't be so hard on myself the next time I catch a typo I should have caught when I first proofread my work.
Yeah, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself! It's important to proofread our work, but there's only so much we can do.
I struggle with typos from time to time and this is a good point.
I am not great at spotting typos, mine or others. It's probably a good thing that I'm nobody's editor.
I am knee deep, working on proofreading the first volume of my grandparents' letters.Thankfully I also have someone who will help me proofread!
Good luck with the first volume of your grandparents' letters! That's exciting. It's great that you've found a proofreader you trust.
So true! I tolerate informal/imprecise spellings in casual written conversations–it's all part of how language evolves–but I still cringe when I see certain attempts to spell.
Being slightly dyslexic, typos are a lot more common for me. I read and re-read, yet never see the mistakes. I was diagnosed in college thankfully and after that understood why it took me three times to read anything. As for legal docs, I understand why the need for a perfectly executed document. As an architect, it can mean a great deal in legal documents, which all architectural drawings and specifications are once submitted.
Yeah, careful proofreading is much more important for legal documents! We do the best we can, but minor typos sometimes make it into the final product. Thankfully, that brief is the only example I know about from my own work (the person who sent me that email has read some of my other work and hasn't mentioned finding any other typos!).
Sometimes pointing out typos is just being uptight. But as someone who works as an editor, I know that we often need that extra pair of eyes!
Reblogged this on Lee Fullbright's Room.
So true! We do the best we can. Some consumers assume that the items they buy should be perfect and that a handful of minor typos suggests a lazy author/publisher (which might be true if there are more than just a few mistakes). It's unreasonable, particularly when the book is inexpensive.
Crazy! My experience in science is that people generally don't get concerned over a handful of typos in a paper or proposal, but it is annoying if they are numerous. Three mistakes in 49 pages is nothing!
I'm glad to hear that the science field seems to have a more reasonable perspective on minor typos.
With my brief, at least there weren't any errors in the argument section. What's sad, though, is that my involvement with that case is one of the highlights of my career, and the email I received afterwards really tarnished the experience for me. I can't think about that case without also thinking about that email.
That is sad. I hope that over time the impact of that e-mail fades and you are able to bask in your accomplishment.
Many years ago in a stuffy corporate setting one of our young colleagues passed the CPA exam. We made her a huge poster congratulating her on becoming a Certified Pubic Accountant. Funny thing is, no one noticed until well after lunch even though it was up all day. Like you said, you see the words that are in your head!
I'm working with an author that sent me a manuscript "typo-free." He has since then sent me at least 4 corrected versions.
Best-case scenario — the typo leaves us with a funny story.
With legal documents, I often have the opposite problem: trying "from" instead of "form"! Thanks for the comment!
And, of course, my response to you contained a typo! It should've been *typing* "from" instead of "form"!

Curious Kids: Do grownups still grow?
Curious Kids: Do grownups still grow? 12 March 2020
Do grownups still grow? – question submitted by Emma, aged five, from the UK.
Emeritus Professor of Biological Anthropology Barry Bogin provides an answer as part of The Conversation's Curious Kids series, which gives children the chance to have their questions about the world answered by experts.
Here's what he had to say...
Some parts of grownups do not grow. Some parts do grow. And some parts seem to grow but really do not, writes Professor Bogin.
Grownups cannot get taller. The bones of their arms, legs, chest and neck lose the ability to get longer. This is because these bones grow at their ends and these growing ends eventually join together which stops growth in height.
Your thigh bone (properly called the femur), for example, has growing ends near your hip and your knee. You can see these growing ends, called an epiphysis (pronounced eh-pif-uh-sis), as the red lines in the picture of the growing femur here. The bone grows longer by adding new cells in the red spaces.
You stop growing when these red spaces close or run out of new cells. The picture of the mature femur shows that the epiphyses have closed and growth is finished. This happens to girls when they are about 16 to 18 years old and happens to boys when they are about 18 to 22 years old.
Epiphyseal Plate Line. OpenStax College, CC BY.
Grownups cannot get taller, but they do get shorter. After age 30, people start to become a little bit shorter. They lose about two and a half centimetres of height by the age of 55 years. They get shorter because the connections between bones, called cartilage, get squished together.
This happens even to kids. Measure your height when you get out of bed in the morning and then again before you go to bed that night. You will be a little bit shorter because during the day your cartilage was squished. When you sleep, the cartilage expands, and you are taller again in the morning.
Professor Bogin also discusses muscles, ears, noses and hands in the article. Read it in its entirety here.

CROWFALL GAMEPLAY
City Sieging Explored
By jtoddcoleman, April 7, 2015 in News & Announcements
Lephys 697
The Punforge
Then we have that in common, as I am also at a loss for responses to your oversimplification of my points down to binary "this will/won't happen, because this one thing."
Consider the factors I'm pointing out, or don't. I'm just posting them. What you do with them is clearly up to you.
For what it's worth, I don't see what "we should all just believe that this is going to happen" really does for the design brainstorming of the game, as, by your logic, we either have to get rid of PvP, or deal with campaigns that are going to end every time someone gets a few Victory Points, or sieges a settlement, etc.
This post brought to you by...
Lephys. Because everything's better with a smile facepalm.

sure... we all know noone quits when on the losing team in FPS games... matches never end 20 vs 11.... servers never suddenly die when there's "team stacking"
People never afk on the fountain in LoL... noone ever rage quits in MOBAs
This. I even expect a significant number of people will put a character into several campaigns and focus on one where their side gets an early lead.
ACE can tweak RvR to encourage the fight to stay even. The other three rulesets are going to get wildly unbalanced. Its really up to the playerbase to actually play hardball instead of just quitting
David Sirlin's Balancing Multiplayer Games should be mandatory reading for all gamers.
Well, that's also why I think it would be best to make sure 99.9% of your ultimate gains don't hinge upon one thing (who won and who lost). But, it's difficult to compare it to other games in which one side can easily bask in the Pool of Advantage when Crowfall's being designed specifically so that it's much easier for the advantage to shift between teams.
Even with just what we DO know thus far, it seems significantly more difficult for one side to simply guarantee an advantage throughout a whole campaign. And there's plenty we don't even know yet.

^ "People" will quit, yes. Then probably the game. If they lose their many months' of work, then the campaign was close to over anyway. The closer it is to the end of the campaign, the less worrisome it is if everyone quits. But even then... why would you play for 2 months and 5 days, then voluntarily forfeit all of your Embargo by quitting? Your Embargo was perfectly safe. Sure, you were only gonna get 40% of it instead of 100% for losing, but now you get 0, AND have to start over in a new campaign or just quit playing the game all-together.
You're misunderstanding. I'm not telling you what no one will do. I'm telling you other ways people will think, as well.
And I apologize for talking about this without any experience. I wasn't aware that only people who had already played Crowfall were allowed to discuss possible player behaviors in campaigns, nor was I aware you were among those who had already played it.
Embargo means nothing to dregs only players. Crowfall is born from the desire of countering server stagnation, you guys should listen carefully to what old shadowbane and darkfall players have to say, they're the only one who experienced a server like Dregs and a game like Crowfall in general.
Victory points as an accumulating resource is the death of Risk.
@pang: we know this won't be the only mechanic out there, but as you can see many here think it might as well be.
It's better to say things out loud now before it's too late.

You will know what is the feelings to lose everything that you created in weeks of hard works with your friends only when it will happen . It is a crucial point of the gaming life of someone and not only for that game. When this will happen (and you must be sure that eventually it will if Crowfall will have some parts of what was Shadowbane) you will see your guild in great danger, many ppl will quit and will never play again that game and any other game where that kind of risk is possible, many other will leave your guild to join a bigger one to avoid part of the risk but some other will stay and help to rebuild. The only ones losing something in this situation are the people that quit. One of the best aspect of this kind of game is the risk to loose your pixels so you need to think a lot before doing everything, even write a post on the forum of the game because that can lead to have your city burned down (happened many time on Shadowbane)
I'm completely sure that none of the players of Shadowbane will quit after they will loose their pixels but also i'm sure that we will see many of the other players leaving the game after it, if you think that this will not happen it is because you never played a game like Shadowbane

People will always quit though, for various reasons. My point was you shouldn't really let that dictate how the game is made. Also if they're that type of player then perhaps they shouldn't have been playing the game in the first place. The thing that Crowfall has going for it though is having other rulesets to play on if you find one is too hardcore or strict for your play style. Instead of quiting the game outright, perhaps they will simply try another ruleset. So likely after a while those players will know not to play on Dreggs for example. Sure the first few times through the Campaigns might be a bit rough, but after people settle in and find their niche in the game I don't think it'll be as big of an issue or certainly not a game breaking one.
Yeah I'm certainly not saying the SBrs are wrong on this, I'm simply saying there is and should be other options as well. From my play experience I prefer having set goals and being able to track the progress to the win conditions. To me its not a grind because its simply playing the game. You play, you achieve objectives, conquer and win. Might be easier to understand if could hear what win conditions would be like if they are not number or goal based as I haven't really seen it explained anywhere. Have only seen it said why set goals and numbers based is bad. Under what conditions is a victor determined and the Campaign ends in your preferred SB or Dregs style method?

I think we can all agree that Crowfall is born out of Todd's desire to end server stagnation on high-end PVP games (UO pre-RE, SB, DF, etc).
Ergo they already let players-that-quit-after-they-lose-a-lot dictate how the game is made.
And that's fine, if it doesn't compromise what made the game enjoyable in the first place.
http://community.crowfall.com/index.php?/topic/3258-lets-talk-about-campaign-permanence/?p=80493
I'll take this chance to talk about the UNCLE BOB analogy again. From the very beginning it seemed clear to me that what you wanted to do was to emulate the Shadowbane experience minus servers stagnation.. that's why I loved the Risk analogy. I partially hated it too, because I didn't understand the necessity of bringing outside mechanisms in order to 'end' the game. In RISK all you have to do is conquer the entire map.. in that sense a game can't last forever and it simpy won't.
If Shadowbane had an ending condition like RISK, it wouldn't have suffered from server stagnation in the first place.
Example: What if one major alliance (aka the one with more holdings) could at some point ask an oath of allegiance to the alliances on the server with at least one holding? If everyone agrees to it, the former is declared winner and server resets itself. If one alliance doesn't, the others will make sure to take their holding. If many alliances won't swear loyalty, game continues. This is just an idea I wrote a few weeks ago on this forum, and I am sure it isn't perfect (or unexploitable).. but the main idea is: players should decide when the game ends. Not every single player, of course.. but at least the ones with political influence.
P.S. As previously discussed: in the case Uncle Bob wouldn't want to win, he could be 'forced to' by a call vote mechanism by other alliances.
Again this is just a suggestion, I am not designing Crowfall and so I haven't really given it much thought.. perhaps the concept is flawed somewhere.
But I am sure it's doable in some form.
One could argue that holding a city is like having "one victory point", and that my winning condition just requires an alliance to reach 50 victory points in a map with 50 total holdings. That also means, however, that an alliance can always steal points from another, and the time it takes to do so can be relatively low. Basically there needs to be a chance to defeat a declining alliance at any time, without the ghost of previously accumulated points. And that also excludes the possibility of ending the game before a clear winner arises.. if alliances are still fighting to win, there shouldn't be a reason to end the fun.
courant101 and pang reacted to this
Design the game around that idea yes, I just meant that during development and after launch they shouldn't try to change the game based on whiners rage quiting.
And your idea sounds like it could work I wouldn't have an issue trying a Campaign with that ruleset.
The thing that drew me to this game was that fact that there are different rulesets and players can find their niche playstyle or a ruleset thats closest to it. Hopefully they have enough to satisfy most of our (PvP)play styles.
I agree.. and since we are talking about it, I will also add that victory points based on bloodstones ARE a great idea for RvRvR servers.
In those kind of rulesets you always have a decent number of players in every "Reign" by design, thus one can never truly defeat the other two** (in terms of complete territory control for example). So it makes perfect sense to have a pre-definite amount of points to reach and different ways to gain them based on sieging etc, otherwise it would just be Planetside with a never-ending war going on.
**and that's why I hate pre-definite factions.
Embargo means nothing to dregs only players.
Not every Dregs campaign will be Terminator and not every Terminator campaign will be Dregs.

disagree on the 'attack cities without limitations' bit. one of the lessons learned from early sb was that 'ninja wall wrecking' was generally bad. The system they ended up with (with siege window hand-offs), did a munch better job of focusing the activity and making things less of a job.
the mandate for '24x7' coverage alliances (ie. gw2) is pretty crappy design imo, as 'winning' revolves more around who has the most people on in the least populated period than who is actually 'better'.
- Yes, of course. it's about how much realism ACE want in their game setting, but my post was more directed to people who're against 'new' suggestions like the 'Blood stones' system. Because it's something 'new', and some people are too eager to jump to the conclusion; that the system is easy to exploit and pointless.
However, I would rather test the system out properly in-game in alpha before I utter my opinion about it which was my point of previous post.

One point concerned me...
The fact that a keep could be destroyed very quickly?
If the Keeps can be destroyed so quickly the whole fun of siege would be gone....
The Destruction of the walls should look realistic and not "hit them ones and destroy them all"

OK, i think there is a bit too much concern on the point conditions out there.
Question for the SB types...what is the fastest you've seen a server get conquered?
i would almost discount the initial treachery/war/whatever servers as i wouldn't really call those competitive (you can go down to read the treachery thread in the sb forum for some history).
The example I would note as being one likely to play out in the dregs would be Saedron...the last 'new' sb server.
The server started off with what, i'd say 4? 5? major guilds.
first war was fought in weeks 2-4, maybe 5. Winner of that fight then turned its attention the the next group...another 2 weeks.
no points, no victory conditions, just playing to win.
time from start to 'win', maybe 2 months.
Isn't that about what we're looking for?
The thing they'll need to do is just quantify what 'winning is'.
I think one way to do that would be to make the 'winner's stuff' worth more.
given their tree mechanic, the amount of 'stuff' it drops/gives is determined by that faction/nation/guild's rank in the whole victory ladder.
Also, when you lose 'stuff', it doesn't just give points to someone else, it subtracts a percentage of that from the 'losers' total.
this would provide incentive for guilds to unite against a common enemy to prevent them from winning...thus prolonging the server.

Actually I think being able to give corrupted bloodstones as a gift would make things so much more interesting...
Edited April 13, 2015 by Tipsy
I still don't understand the "victory points, BAD!" sentiments. How do you determine who wins without measuring something that essentially functions as a score (without all the rulesets just being "the last person alive, wins")?
because people hate losing, and typically don't like being there for a loss.
i watched an opponent in sb go from 7 groups to 2, and abandon their tree after 3 failed rushes to dislodge us from our attack position. We hadn't even breached the city and they gave it up. I've seen a guild i was in disintigrate from 50+ to 10 after their (only) city was lost. They just gave up. I guess they don't feel 'they' personnally lost if they werent there when the nail was driven into the coffin.
it's why in game shows (jeopardy) the first round is almost pointless, because it's possible to win the whole thing int he second. or the awesome wheel of fortune, the numbers toward the end of the show always are such that it could potentially allow the person winnign that round to win the whole thing.
If they have points, the point system needs to increase each 'season' relative to the previous season's leader. if the point delta isnt that much, no need to increase that much...if it's out of control...well, there still needs to either a) be hope or it needs to be put out of it's misery quickly.
Stormcrow reacted to this
Have you read my posts at all?
Yes, I have. Shy of the "everyone votes on when this ends" suggestion (which is fine, I suppose, as one option for a campaign ruleset), I don't see anything else that isn't a measurement of score. And, I realize that there's a difference between point accumulation and other types of score, but point-accumulation need not be the basis for all rulesets. So, I fail to see why point accumulation is inherently bad.
People have brought up plenty of perfectly valid concerns and points, but have then irrationally decided that they're all going to lead to one result, definitely, even though that result is based on a lot more than just "is there an accumulated point system? Then BAD THINGS!"

Local music legend Will Pound playing our piano during the lead-up to the EU referendum.
There is always a tendency to take stock at New Year – to look both backwards and forwards, to be a bit reflective. Though I have to say that I am pretty much always reflective about the Tree House, trying to work out what is going well, what could be improved, what isn't working, what the best way forward is. We have been in business for three and a half years now, which feels like an achievement – one friend says he gave us about three weeks when we started!
It's always going to be tough financially. We are not a very commercial outfit, and I am not by any stretch a natural businesswoman. But finances aside, I think the achievements of the bookshop are enormous. These are all to do with people – the regular customers and volunteers who are part of the place, some of them since the day we opened, and the growing community of followers around the world, the connections via social media, the fact that we are an easygoing space in a pressurised world. That's a direct result of not being commercially-focused…and yet we do have to survive financially, which is not easy.
Our customer-base is very varied in terms of age, background, nationality. We really don't have either a target market nor a typical customer. Even an interest in books is not always a factor – partly because we do other things here, partly because sometimes people come just because they like the atmosphere. One thing I love about it is how international our broader community is. Lots of European nationals, especially, who are among the regular faces we see. Being close to Warwick and Coventry Universities undoubtedly helps with this. The day after the EU referendum vote, when many of us were feeling hollow and a bit desperate, some of these European nationals came to the bookshop to talk, be with sympathetic souls and generally try to find some sort of solidarity and sense of community with others. We had made no secret of our desire to Remain in Europe, and we continue to promote a sense of Europeanness in what we do.
That's why when, at a recent Tree House Session (our regular open mic sessions), John decided to sing Santa Lucia in Swedish, unaccompanied, I was fighting back the tears, not always successfully, and not in sadness so much as pride. It was wonderful. John is one of the most solidly loyal members of our community and a regular contributor at the open mics, usually with his own poetry. He has lived in Sweden and has long been advocating that we create a more hyggelig atmosphere here – I know hygge is a Danish concept, but it is part of Swedish culture too. I love all things Scandinavian – I am a true northerner, give me snow over sun-baked olive groves any day!
Anyway…we are now facing our toughest challenges yet, and who knows if we will get through them. If we don't, that's fine, I will find a new direction. But that moment on a dark December night at our open mic session summed up for me what is at the core of the spirit of the Tree House. It is and always has been about people coming together through a love of the arts, especially literature but also music (very much) and film and a celebration of creativity. But it's also about deeper things, things we can't always put into words, things that run through our collective identity as a community. It's one of my favourite things that's happened at the Tree House, John singing unaccompanied in Swedish.

Click on the image for the link to our crowdfunder campaign!
Today we've launched a very ambitious campaign – trying to raise £5000 for the bookshop in just six weeks… So many have given generously in the past, and I don't want to ask the same people to keep giving, but we now have a lot of followers on Twitter and Facebook, and if everyone shares, and maybe their friends and followers share, we could have a huge reach and the potential for lots of support! The best way to support us is to keep spreading the word (as well as buying books, of course!), so if anyone out there is prepared to share, retweet, etc, that would be marvellous.
We are hoping for an injection of cash to boost our ongoing efforts to raise our game a little and make our regular income stronger. The crowdfunding is to help enable us to survive, and to provide funds for things such as producing some good publicity material (flyers, bookmarks, postcards and more) and a window graphic to make it clearer who and what we are, renewing our PRS and Film licences so that we can carry on playing music and showing films, improving the lighting (those who have visited know it's a bit basic and there are several bulbs/lights that need replacing!), sorting out our hot water boiler to help with washing up, so that we can perhaps do more in terms of offering refreshments, and other things besides. If we raise enough, I want to go beyond these necessities and make the bookshop itself – the physical space – a lovelier, more magical place than it already is.
So please do have a look at the campaign, and please click here and share the link as much as you can. The link will stay at the top right of our homepage here, linked through the image of the bookshop, and you can share on various social media sites directly from the crowdfunding page. We get to keep whatever pledges we raise in the next six weeks, but if we can reach our £5000 target, that would be amazing! We have raised £90 in the first hour, so let's see how far we can get… Thank you in advance! Every single share or retweet helps.
In the meantime, watch our Tree House Sessions video for inspiration!

I have been neglecting this site! I have been busy, still loads to do at the bookshop and new donations of books coming in all the time.
But we have arranged a few musical treats over the next few weeks.
Friday 8 May, 7.30pm: Romany Pie. Kenilworth's own folk group, always very entertaining, they came to the old Tree House and we are delighted that they want to come back and play at the new one. Free entry – bring a bottle if you like (£1 corkage). Doors at 7.30pm, music at 8ish.
Saturday 16 May, 7.30pm: Tree House Sessions. The return of our popular open mic sessions (without a mic!). Unplugged acoustic music and poetry, always a wonderful range of performances and a great atmosphere. £2 for everyone, performers and audience, redeemable as a voucher to spend in the bookshop. If you would like to perform, please email treehousesessions@treehousebookshop.co.uk
Sunday 17 May, 3pm: Andrew Sharpe and Amy Kakoura. Andrew (piano) and Amy (vocals) came to the old Tree House too, with a taste of their musical Songs from a Ledge, and are returning for a short afternoon visit ahead of a performance at Warwick Arts Centre, Under the Radar, on 7 June – we are thrilled to have them. Andrew is keyboard player with Steamchicken, the nationally renowned folk/jazz group, with whom Amy also sometimes sings – she has a fabulous voice, and this is an afternoon not to be missed. Just a shortish set, about an hour, free entry.
Friday 5 June, 7.30pm: Lucy Anne Sale – details tbc.
More being planned – hope to see you at something soon!

Music at the Tree House

An inspiring day, in an inspiring venue, spending time with the most inspiring people. Gigs like this are precious.
(Ange Hardy, Fatea Female Vocalist of the Year, after her gig at the Tree House on 22 September 2014)
Apart from books, live music is the best thing we have to offer at the Tree House. We've had some brilliant gigs over the last 16 months, and we are planning lots more. We can only seat 30-40, so gigs are always intimate, with comfortable armchairs and sofas for those who arrive early and an ever-boiling tea urn. You are always welcome to bring a bottle of something stronger – we are not licensed, but it's fine for people to bring their own alcohol – and we have wine glasses and corkscrews. We charge £1 for corkage (tea and coffee is also £1 a cup).
We have started regular open mic nights, which we call the Tree House Sessions; our first one was fantastic, and our second one this Saturday, 8 November, promises to be as good. Come along and listen – we charge £2 entry, but you get a £2 voucher to spend at the bookshop. Best value night out around! They will be slightly irregular up to Christmas, but from January we plan to make them fortnightly.
On 15 November, we have a cabaret evening courtesy of Unlock the Music, a charity in Coventry that supports new talent. Something different for us, and again promises to be wonderful – tickets are £8, with money raised going to the charity. You can buy tickets online or through the bookshop.
On 6 December, we have Sharpe & Guy and The Somerville Gentlemen coming to give us an evening of folk music, each act performing either side of an interval. Brilliant musicians all, another fantastic night of live music to look forward to! Tickets are £6, available through the bookshop.
Then on 20 December, we have the brilliant folk duo Haddo making a return appearance – they wowed us shortly after we opened, in August of last year, and this time are coming to play Christmas music – come prepared to sing a few carols as well as listen to some wonderful music. Will Pound is now an established figure on the folk scene and beyond, and Nicky Pound is a fabulous viola player and singer, and as a duo they are a force to be reckoned with. Festive treats will be available too. Tickets are £7, available through the bookshop.
We are planning more music for the new year – the focus will remain folky, in a broad sense, as this suits the venue well and suits the personal taste of those of us organising the events!
Here is a photo of Ange Hardy performing in September – a wonderful evening!

2G networks only authenticate in one direction – the SIM proves its identity to the network – so creating a fake base station is relatively easy. The GSM standard also allows the base station to ask for an unencrypted connection, essential in countries where strong encryption isn't allowed, so a man-in-the-middle attack is very feasible. Handsets are supposed to provide an on-screen notification when encryption has been disabled, but conformance to that detail is very rare indeed.But that's to listen in to calls. Tracking people is a good deal easier. Phones broadcast an identifying number (the TIMSI) which can't immediately be linked to an individual but can be used to track movements in an entirely passive way. The lack of identity actually makes the process (legally) easier, as under the current legislation (in 2011) the privacy implications disappear when there's no identity. Private companies such as Path Intelligence do exactly the same thing for shopping malls and suchlike, tracking footfall without knowing (or caring) whose feet are falling.
The Metropolitan Police in particular has been operating IMSI catchers, along with a covert air wing run through a front company registered to an anonymous mailbox in South London, since at least 2011. The Met's surveillance aircraft, a twin-engined Cessna Caravan F406 with the registration G-BVJT, is a familiar sight to Londoners. It is thought the aircraft's surveillance fit includes IMSI catchers and live mobile phone tracking and eavesdropping capability.
