Publishing in the Platform Era
Facebook moves closer to YouTube and TV with new shows, Watch platform
August 9, 2017 | By Sahil Patel
Facebook wants people to spend more time watching videos on its platform, as they already do on YouTube. Starting Aug. 10, it's introducing a new video destination called "Watch," which aims to do exactly that.
Watch is essentially a remake of Facebook's video tab, available online and across Facebook's apps for mobile devices and connected TVs. It will offer a library of longer form and episodic video shows made by publishers, celebrities and digital video creators. Shows on Facebook Watch will fall into two tiers: TV-sized half-hour programs launching on Facebook later this year and shorter "spotlight" series with episodes running between 5 and 15 minutes.
On Watch, Facebook will offer original shows from more than 30 content partners, including Tastemade, Mashable, Hearst, Attn, Bleacher Report, A+E, Refinery29 and Condé Nast Entertainment. Some partners have multiple shows funded by Facebook, including: Tastemade, which is producing six series including "Kitchen Little" and "Struggle Meal"; Mashable, which is doing two series, "What's Your Mutt?" and "DIY Costume Squad"; Attn, which is producing "Health Hacks," which will star Jessica Alba, and "We Need to Talk"; and Business Insider, which has four shows including "The Great Cheese Hunt" and "Rising Stars" with Neil deGrasse Tyson. Not all of these shows will be available from Day One, as some are scheduled to appear later this year, according to publishing sources.
Original content also will include live sports, with Facebook broadcasting an MLB game every Friday night.
"Video hasn't been promoted on Facebook in this way before," said Greg Gittrich, chief content officer of Mashable. "Watch is going to be a place where people go to watch shows and series, which makes it exciting for us."
As a video-viewing destination, Watch is clearly designed to get people to find new shows to watch and continue watching new episodes of them as they are released, as well as find related programming. A "watchlist" tab on Watch's main page will let users keep track of new content from their favorite shows. And when users complete an episode of a show, either subsequent episodes of that show or related content will start playing in the video player. (A user's watchlist will also be featured on the right-hand rail next to the Facebook news feed.)
"As people are watching more and more video on Facebook, they want a place they can go to reliably and dependably watch video," said Daniel Danker, director of product at Facebook. "A year ago, we launched the video tab, which did that, but it did not necessarily make it easy for people to keep up with the creators they know."
It's in this way that Watch can be seen as a more directly competitive to Google-owned YouTube, where users are used to searching for and finding all sorts of videos and shows.
Facebook's move is also reminiscent of YouTube's initial investments in original video programming in 2012, when the company spent more than $100 million to fund original content channels from media companies, celebrities and digital video creators.
"Prior to this, if you were to have just a bird's eye view, the difference between YouTube and Facebook was that YouTube was a search video platform — you were looking for a specific thing, found it and then found yourself in a rabbit hole still watching videos two hours later," said Oren Katzeff, head of programming for Tastemade. "Facebook has been more of a discovery platform, where you find stuff in your feed. You're not necessarily going to Facebook for video. This is more of a shift toward getting people to purposely go to Facebook to watch a show. As a programmer, that's incredibly exciting especially when Facebook has said they are going to invest a lot of equity and energy into this."
While Watch currently exists as a section inside Facebook, Danker consistently referred to Watch as a "platform," which indicates how the company views the product and its potential future. Danker would not comment on plans for Watch, but it's likely that the company will follow the Facebook Messenger playbook: That is, if the section can get enough people watching videos on a daily basis, Facebook can spin it off as its own video app.
Getting people to watch shows on Watch will be a big task for Facebook, which in the past has struggled to get people to use video products such as suggested videos and Facebook Live.
It's important to note that Watch will be strictly a home for shows. While it will include shows funded by Facebook, publishers and video creators that create official show pages will also be able to feed content into Watch. Right now, Watch is rolling out with a small number of video partners, but eventually the plan is to make the platform available to any video producer with a show page, the company said. Facebook's expectation is that over time a vast majority of the shows inside Watch will not be funded by Facebook, a spokesperson said.
"What's Your Mutt?", one of two shows produced by Mashable for Facebook.
At the moment, shows funded by Facebook are getting prime placement on Watch, in the top two sections. (Facebook is funding two types of original series: TV-sized original shows, which are expected to premiere later this year, and short-form spotlight shows, which are rolling out starting today.) As Facebook expands Watch, it plans to offer "hundreds" of shows, followed by "thousands," a spokesperson said.
Mid-roll ads — Facebook's other big experiment in video — will also be part of Watch with a limited set of partners, though that's expected to expand to more video creators and shows over time. Publishers and creators will also be allowed to run branded content on Watch.
Facebook is offering Watch to a limited number of people in the U.S. as it undergoes testing and refining. Over the next few weeks and months, Watch will be released more widely in the U.S., followed by an international rollout.
"Now, Facebook wants to be in the same place, where at the end of a long day, you might sit down to watch something on Apple TV, and Facebook is now an option, too, alongside FX, YouTube, and others," said Eric Korsh, president of Mashable Studios.

Someone built a touch-activated, LED greenhouse
Image: Digital greenhouse/party/website
By Yvette Tan 2017-10-23 10:10:51 UTC
Feast your eyes on this.
A technicolour greenhouse has emerged in the middle of central Tokyo.
SEE ALSO: What happens when you watch 'Game of Thrones' on LSD
The aptly-named Digital Vegetables, complete with psychedelic lights and a symphony of plants, is part of a design-based event that's happening in Tokyo.
でじべじ –Digital Vegetables– by PARTY from PARTY on Vimeo.
I mean, just look at it.
Look at it, just casually lying there being amazing.
The greenhouse has seven types of vegetables planted inside, with each vegetable triggering a different sound when touched.
The different sound effects were made by taking natural sounds such as "touching leaves" and "eating fruit", and then mixing them with different orchestral instruments to make a melody.
"Tomatoes are violin, carrots are trumpet, cabbages are oboe, mini radishes are flute, sweet potatoes are piano, eggplants are harp, pumpkins are clarinet," says the project's website.
Unsurprisingly, the exhibition is a lot less nightclub and a lot more greenhouse in the day.
Digital Vegetables, which is part of Tokyo's Midtown Design Touch 2017 exhibition, was set up by a digital company aptly named Party. The event will run until Nov. 5.
Well, we know where we'll be.

Upon completing undergraduate work at Cornell University in 1965, I headed out to the Midwest for a few years. This included graduate training in psychology at Purdue University and an internship at the University of Wisconsin.
I met my wife (Florence) in 1968 on a road-trip from Madison, Wisconsin to NY. She was a graduate student and I was completing my internship. We got married in 1969.
Following the completion of our theses/dissertations, we settled in South Bend Indiana where I taught psychology, worked in the University Counseling Center, and directed the graduate programs in Counseling Psychology at the University of Notre Dame while she headed up the Department of Speech Pathology at a rehabilitation center.

I took part ownership in a young and growing performance and productivity improvement consulting firm as Vice President of Management and Organizational Development, and Florence moved into a position as Vice President of Rehabilitation Services in a healthcare organization.
We worked hard, contributed to the success of these companies and benefited from their sale in the late '90s/early 2000s. We maintained part of the consulting firm that has evolved into primarily a family owned corporate consulting business (www.ardconsultants.com).
Meanwhile, our kids grew up, and fortunately returned to the DC area after college to start and build their careers, find their spouses and begin their own families. We currently have four grandkids ranging in age from 8 years to 8 months. It's so great to have them nearby.

Insights | Accelerance CEO and President Release New Business Fable, "Outsource or Else! How a VP of Software Saved His Company"
Accelerance CEO and President Release New Business Fable, "Outsource or Else! How a VP of Software Saved His Company"
By Andranik Yeritsyan | June 7, 2016
Redwood City, CA. – June 6, 2016 – Accelerance, a leader in global software development outsourcing, today announced the release of a new business fable, "Outsource or Else! How a VP of Software Saved His Company," coauthored by Accelerance CEO Steve Mezak and President Andy Hilliard. Through an entertaining and educational story of a software industry executive, the book equips tech leaders with software development outsourcing advice and best practices to help elevate their businesses to new heights.
The book provides a fictional, yet realistic look at a company that navigates its way through the outsourcing waters, despite initial hesitation. ShapeShift, a well-funded Silicon Valley startup that specializes in fitness technology, reaches a pivotal point when its CEO announces that software development for its next product will be outsourced. Ultimately, the fate of the company rests on the shoulders of Jason Jaye, Vice President of Engineering, and his ability to steer the company in the right direction without getting caught up in the sometimes crazy, fast-paced world of software development outsourcing. Jason is guided by Patrick Delaney, an eccentric, world-traveling outsourcing expert who offers him a compass to guide his way, "The Seven Keys of Software Outsourcing," and a plan for how to successfully select and work with the right global software outsourcing partner.
This business fable addresses common concerns and pitfalls that companies face when it comes to software development outsourcing and some popular misconceptions. Many growing companies, large and small, are faced with the question of how to scale with fixed resources. Software development outsourcing has become a proven route for companies to take as a means of increasing their capabilities without the heavy price tag of expanding their team with full-time employees.
"Software development outsourcing is a practice that has gained widespread attention over the years," said Andy Hilliard, president of Accelerance. "This book highlights the simple fact that outsourcing is a sometimes underrated practice that can yield significant returns and growth for businesses, especially those looking to stretch their dollar and expand the software development capabilities of their team beyond the limited resources available locally.
Mezak and Hilliard, each with over 20 years of experience in the IT industry, shed light throughout the book on how outsourcing can be leveraged by businesses who want to experience new levels of success. The book provides technical leaders with advice and best practices for choosing the right software development outsourcing provider that:
Meets technical requirements and company culture
Delivers a quality product, within a set timeframe and a fixed budget
Improves an organization's level of innovation by bringing on board offshore expertise
Initial reviews prove "Outsource or Else!" to be an easy, enjoyable read that provides the occasional laugh-out-loud commentary. It's a short book that paints an accurate picture of real questions and outcomes that companies must weigh before making the decision to turn to outsourcing.
"This book is a result of years of working in this industry and seeing first-hand the struggles that many companies face when deciding on how to go about selecting the right software outsourcing provider," said Steve Mezak, founder and CEO of Accelerance. "Audiences who have taken a liking to "The Goal" or "The Phoenix Project" will appreciate this read and hopefully walk away with a better understanding of the benefits associated with software development outsourcing."
Mezak is also the author of "Software Without Borders: A Step-by-Step Guide to Outsourcing Your Software Development," a how-to book on making software development outsourcing work, from initial concept to completion.
The book is available on Amazon. For more information, visit: http://amzn.to/1YD2kK9

Minister Performs Bizarre Oral Sex Exorcisms; Nuns Rape a Homeless Girl
Dean Garrison
Important Reader Correction from a member of PCA (Presbyterian Church in America): The clergyman from Linden who is in trouble for the unorthodox method by which he claims to exorcize men is a member of the PCUSA or Presbyterian Church of the USA, not a member of the PCA or Presbyterian Church in America. The PCA is the denomination which split off and left the ultra-liberal Presbyterian Church many years ago. We do not have women as clergy or Elders. We do not do exorcisms nor do we espouse gay marriage or other ungodly perversion. Please correct all postings which would refer to this homosexual fraud as a member of the PCA, as soon as you can. You are defaming some of God's finest saints. My sincerest apology and God Bless You PCA members.
Christianity is losing momentum in America.
That is no secret.
The polling numbers show that roughly 10% of Americans left Christianity between 1990 and 2015.
Christianity is the most adhered to religion in the United States, with 75% of polled American adults identifying themselves as Christian in 2015.[1][2] This is down from 85% in 1990, lower than 81.6% in 2001,[3] and slightly lower than 78% in 2012.[4]
There are many reasons that people are leaving, but today I'd like to show you 2 more sick examples of why some may leave the church or…
…simply stop attending organized church services and worship at home.
It is always important to remember that even ordained clergy members are still human AND that the bad seeds should never indict the whole church or any specific denomination.
Before you continue, please know that these stories are disturbing and very graphic.
#1. Longtime Linden minister used oral sex in exorcism ritual, men claim
Excerpts From MyCentralNewJersey.com:
A Presbyterian minister, who said he was following the Bible, used Native American exorcism rituals, gemstones and even oral sex to extract "evil spirits" from men undergoing crises in their lives, the church and men claim.
The so-called healing acts, which date to 1999, were allegedly performed by the Rev. Dr. William Weaver, a prominent Presbyterian minister who served as pastor at Linden Presbyterian Church for 39 years, one of two Presbyterian churches in Linden, a city with a population of over 40,000. He also held several public roles, including chaplain for a county police department.
Weaver, 69, was scheduled to face his three accusers during an internal church trial, but on Jan. 25, 2019, one day before the trial was to begin, he renounced the jurisdiction of the Elizabeth Presbytery. He was accused by the church of "multiple acts of idolatry and sexual misconduct."
Every meeting with Weaver began the same way, Meeker said. The minister told him to undress completely and lie on the bed. Then he placed an angel coin — a coin with an angel or saint printed on it used for praying — on Meeker's forehead and wrapped a magnetic strip around his head to keep it in place.
Weaver then would place a series of stones on both of Meeker's feet his hands and on the left side and right side of his chest.
"I was told that for him to get everything out me, I needed to lay completely still to not move the stones on my feet," Meeker said in the impact statement. "He would then take out the feather and scan my body from my neck to my stomach."
Weaver then opened Meeker's mouth, placed his own mouth on top of Meeker's mouth, and moved his tongue around "to see if I had anything in my mouth or throat," Meeker wrote.
Then the interaction became sexual, with Weaver engaging in oral sex, according to Meeker.
"He would then ingest my ejaculate and then would spit up multiple pieces of plastic or metal into a Ziploc bag," Meeker stated.
He said he began to ask Weaver about the necessity of the ritual and asked the minister if he was using the same techniques on women. Weaver, according to Meeker's statement, said "everything would come out of a woman's navel and every 30 days their cycle would clear them out."
I feel it is quite important to note that the Presbyterian Church of the USA allows same-sex marriage, and ordains openly LGBT members in committed relationships.
So a minister trying to drive demons from men through oral sex is not a total shocker but is, of course, not in line with the methods of the church.
Sick sex scandal #2, comes from the Catholic Church, which of course does not allow its clergy to be married, and many believe this causes lots of the sexual dysfunction within the Catholic Church.
As a young man, ages 14 through 16, I was in a Catholic High School Seminary and I can tell you that many of us left our church because of stories and continual happenings like the one you are about to read.
#2. Mount Loretto nuns tortured, sexually abused me: woman claims of Staten Island Catholic mission
Excerpts from The New York Daily News:
Sisters of Mercy? Not for one former Staten Island resident.
Robin Campbell, 65, who lived at the Mount Loretto Catholic Mission on Staten Island claims in court documents filed Monday that she was tortured by nuns for five years as a homeless girl, enduring ghoulish physical and sexual abuse almost every day.
"The only time I recall not being abused was when President Kennedy was assassinated," Robin Campbell charges in court documents filed Monday. "Perhaps the nuns were in mourning."
She described living in a room that housed 100 girls in 50 bunk beds and alleged being assigned a bed closest to the door — presumably for the access it provided at least one of her tormentors.
"I would often wake up and Sister Rosemarie would be at the side of my bed (just inside the door) with her hand under the covers," she claimed in an affidavit, describing her sexual abuse. "This happened very frequently, way more times than I could count, and many more times than I could possibly remember."
"The place had a profound impact on my life. I feel horrible, I suffer from PTSD," Campbell said. "They took away my childhood. You have no idea what it feels like as a child to feel like you have to hide at night, or to sleep with one eye open. You lose your childhood….
"My experiences at Mount Loretto affected me sexually, emotionally. I can't even bear being touched by anyone. They affected my ability to have relationships as an adult."
The Catholic Church does not officially endorse any of this, but not allowing nuns or priests to marry is a recipe for disaster. Catholic Priests molesting children is simply out of control.
I entered a High School Seminary at the age of 14. Our Freshman class had roughly 45 students. By the time I left, for my Senior Year in High School, there were less than 20.
Of those, I know of only one who actually went on to become an ordained Priest.
The Catholic Church has since closed down Savior of the World Seminary in Kansas City, KS and turned it into a pastoral center. That was a good move.
My class was marked by a few open homosexuals and there were several rumors that floated around about staff encounters that would be deemed inappropriate by anyone.
As Christians, we must focus on the Word of God and not on our self-anointed leaders.
These people are human, of course, but their misdeeds are helping destroy God's Church in America.

10 Ways to Go Green and Save Green
Green Backups: The SimpleTech [re]Drive Review
Printing Tips to Go Green and Save Green
Color Your IT Strategy Green
Adopting an environmentally sound IT strategy isn't nearly as hard or intimidating as the phrase might seem…and it's not just for tree-huggers, either (not that there's anything wrong with that). Going green actually saves you green, a fact that was recently reinforced by Mike Torti, an executive technology specialist at Microsoft, who outlined ten tips to help small businesses make the world a bit greener and maybe even put some black back in their bottom line.
Torti identified the main areas where small business owners can make to reduce their carbon footprint and step into savings. This top-ten list spans those areas, and while it may not be Letterman-funny, it is a lot more useful.
1. Power Management Tools
The power management tools in your computer control panel let you select energy-reducing settings. "If you and nine people do this, it becomes the equivalent of taking one car off the road," said Torti.
How does that translate into real savings? "The Vista operating system has more than 30 power-management tools," said Torti. "A study by the National Resources Defense Council said that a company can save $50 per year for every computer that runs the Vista operating system."
2. Buy Power Strips or Unplug Devices
Many of the devices and appliances we use every day ‑‑ SmartPhones, laptops and ‑‑ drain a steady supply of energy, even when the device isn't in use. This is known as "phantom" energy, but the costs are very real.
"Staying unplugged not only this reduces energy consumption, but it also saves on energy bills," said Torti. He also suggested using an energy-monitoring power strip to see which devices hog energy and how much it's costing you.
3. Consolidate Servers and Save Energy
Also known as virtualization, this basically means to run more than one application – e-mail, productivity, databases, for example ‑‑ on a single server. "Virtualization reduces server hardware needs, lets small businesses do more with less, and it can reduce energy use by up to 90 percent," said Torti.
4. Go to Sleep at the End of the Day
Turn on your PC's sleep feature so that when you walk away from your desk, your PC will use less energy.
Something as simple as turning your PC off at night and on the weekends can save billions of dollars in the U.S. "The 2009 PC Energy Report by E1 and the Alliance to Save Energy found that U.S. businesses are collectively spending $2.8 billion to power 108 million un-used computers," said Torti.
In that same report, the CEO of 1E went on to note that if the world's one billion computers were shut down for one night, it would save enough energy to power the Empire State building for more than 30 years.
5. Remote Working Program
Unified communications tools, including SaaS, let you work with people no matter where they are," said Torti. They can also reduce travel and other costs from 10-30 percent, he said.
6. Choose Laptops Over Desktops
Many modern laptops are far more efficient than their desktop counterparts, said Torti. He noted that notebooks consume less than 30 watts at full power, compared with a modern desktop PC that idles around 60 watts and can exceed 150 watts at full power -- without the monitor. New small form-factor laptops idle at less than 15 watts – less than a typical compact fluorescent light bulb.
7. Always Choose Energy Star
ENERGY STAR rated devices meet a rigorous set of energy use guidelines in standby (off mode), sleep mode and active. Also, qualified computers must include a more efficient power supply (typically an 80 Plus rated version).
Torti recommends the free Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) as a way to compare desktops, notebooks and monitors in terms of their environmental features.
8. Buy LCD Monitors
An LCD monitor can consume one-half to two-thirds as much power as the equivalent-sized traditional analog monitor, said Torti. Turning down the monitor's brightness can save a significant percentage of energy.
9. Recycle Old Equipment
It's important to consider the entire lifecycle of your hardware purchases. "Don't just look at the sticker price," said Torti. "Find out what your vendor's recycle and disposal policies are and what materials they're using."
You can find a recycler near you on this Microsoft site.
10. Reduce Printing and Faxing
Small businesses rely heavily on printing and faxing, and that reliance costs a lot both financially and environmentally. Tori recommends computer faxing to cut costs and save paper, putting files on flash drives instead of printing handouts, and creating default printing policies on office printers.
Going green isn't the latest buzzword, and it's not a way to sell more hardware and software," said Torti. "We all have a responsibility at work and at home, to reduce the impact we have on this world."

New Issues: Superior Spider-Man #4
March 11, 2013 New Issues No comments
(hat tip to the awesome folks at Spiderfan.org for helping me to read a version of this issue. Meanwhile, it's been more than two weeks Marvel subscriber services … come on now).
Superior Spider-Man is a comic book title sporting a seemingly higher body count than its predecessor, Amazing Spider-Man. And while the sudden death of a certain long-term Spidey supporting character in Superior Spider-Man #4 has created a negative stir from a wide and varied spectrum of fans because of its nonchalance, the carnage is helping to forge a very interesting and critical question that stands to drive the Superior title for the remainder of its existence: is the dark and twisted fate befalling nearly everyone connected to Peter Parker a result of his physical absence (and Doc Ock's existence as the new Spider-Man) or are we all witnessing the consequences of Peter's passive moral code when he was still physically capable of embodying Spider-Man?
In other words, it's easy to say that a character who's been around as long as Ashley Kafka deserved better in the treatment and magnitude of her death(despite the fact that she hasn't appeared in a Spider-Man comic in years). But I think that attitude from many fans is precisely why Dan Slott and Co. decided to end her Marvel run so cheaply. Just maybe we have all been so deluded and enamored with Peter's "with great power comes great responsibility," and "nobody dies," mantras that we've lost sight of the potential destruction cause by a superhero with such a pure moral code.
Now before I break the web site by causing people to believe I'm now advocating AGAINST how Peter Parker conducts his business as Spider-Man, let's pause a moment and think of some things pragmatically. In some of the darker corners of the Internet, I've heard some fans criticize Spidey's new status quo as some kind of sadistic hatred of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. In other words, because a bunch of editors/writers working for Marvel think Peter has long been a lame character in desperate need of reinvention, the entire premise of Superior is built around proving how a darker, more sadistic Spider-Man will do better than his predecessor.
Obviously, I think that's ridiculous. While I get frustrated by the sheer number of hoops Marvels makes long-term Spider-Man fans jump through from time-to-time, I also understand that the only thing that's constant for a 50-year-old serialized character is change, and to think some of these dramatic shifts over the past decade or so are being put forward by Marvel's editorial for any other reason than to just move as many comic books as possible is as paranoid as it gets. If Marvel truly "hated" Peter Parker, they wouldn't be giving us a series where his astral self was fighting for control of his physical body with his arch nemesis.
But after 50 years, I do think it's totally fair for Slott, Marvel and anyone else, to raise questions about whether or not Peter has stayed true to the greatest lesson he ever learned in life. We all know that with great power comes responsibility, but when the face of evil is as cold and unfeeling as Massacre, or as calculating and intelligent as Doctor Octopus, how does one responsibly deal with such menaces? The cold reality is Peter is currently in an impossible situation because he underestimated the determination of one of his oldest foes in Otto. And now a good friend in Dr. Kafka has been ruthlessly killed because he was still unable to cross "that" line with Massacre during their previous confrontation. Peter certainly had the physical power to change the outcome, but he didn't use it. Does that mean he abdicated his responsibility? Decades of Spider-Man fandom instinctively tell me that Peter did all he could, but innocent lives are still in real imminent danger because of his failings.
And now, interestingly enough, readers are left with a cliffhanger at the end of Superior Spider-Man #4 that sets up a future confrontation with the one character Peter nearly crossed the line with in the Green Goblin. Once Slott officially pulls the trigger on this match (and please, no spoilers for Superior #5 – I don't usually get my issues until 2-3 weeks after they're released on the newsstand), the Spidey Ock vs. Norman Osborn dynamic stands to be the most interesting one that the title can highlight. No one has caused more personal damage in Peter Parker's life than Osborn, and yet with Otto Octavius in control of his mind and body, it's going to be totally fascinating to see who's moral code ultimately prevails – Peter's ongoing fear of absolute power corrupting absolutely, or Otto's desire to do whatever it takes to vanquish evil.

Science Comes to the Masses (You Want Fries With That?)
By MINDY SINK FEB. 21, 2006
DENVER, Feb. 20 - A scientist walks into a bar. More than 100 people are there, eager to hear all that she has to say and ask a lot of questions. No joke.
That's what happens at the Wynkoop Brewing Company here every month when Café Scientifique is held.
Science is not cold and remote in this setting. It's live, interactive, free and informal, with a drink or two. And other Café Scientifique meetings are popping up throughout the country and around the globe on campuses, in coffee shops, bars and even a church. The purpose is to make science accessible and even fun to anyone with the time to stop by.
"A lot of people come to see real live scientists -- some of whom are extremely famous and prominent -- and see how their brains work," said Dr. John Cohen, a professor of immunology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and the founder of the Denver Café Scientifique. "People don't often get a chance to do that. Some come to ask questions, others are content to listen."
The Denver Café Scientifique was established in 2003 and is the largest in the country to date, drawing about 150 people (cafescicolorado.org). The topics vary from sleep to interstellar communication to Higgs bosons to nanotechnology, and they attract people of all ages and all occupations.
"Who would have thought you'd have standing room only at a geek event?" Dr. Cohen asked. He said he first read about science cafes in 1999 when they were catching on in England. "It just sounded like so much fun," he said. "I saw it as a reminder of the peripatetic philosophers who wandered the Agora in Athens." He imagined them, he continued, "stopping every so often to refresh themselves with a mug of wine from the local sellers."
It was an article in Nature by Duncan Dallas that inspired Dr. Cohen and others. Mr. Dallas, now a retired television producer, started Café Scientifique in 1998 with a note posted in a bar in Leeds, England: "Where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to discuss the scientific ideas and developments which are changing our lives."
He said he was inspired by French philosophy clubs; coincidentally, science cafes were starting up in France in the late 1990's. In an e-mail message, Mr. Dallas said that taking science out of the classrooms changes the expectations of the audience and the speaker -- from lecturing to discussing.
"I believe that science is the most important force in our culture," Mr. Dallas wrote, "and is increasingly impinging on our public and personal lives, through subjects like genetics, neurology, pharmacology and evolutionary psychology. So public engagement with science is bound to increase in many forms over the next decade."
Café Scientifiques in Britain (www.cafescientifique.org) received public financing to get started, and dozens are now held around the country. In the United States some such cafes have no budgets and are independent -- like the one in Denver -- while others receive school and corporate help.
Two science cafes in New York -- one in Syracuse and the other in the city -- break from the tradition of free science to all and charge $5 to $10. Roald Hoffmann, a Nobel laureate in chemistry, is to be the host of an Entertaining Science cabaret at the Cornelia Street Cafe at 6 p.m. March 5 in Manhattan.
Sigma Xi, a scientific research society, was host to the first national gathering of Café Scientifique leaders this month in North Carolina to network and organize the movement.
Juliana Gallin, a 38-year-old graphic designer in San Francisco, started "Ask a Scientist" at the Bazaar Café two and a half years ago (askascientistsf.com). "I was trying to think of something interesting to do outside of my day job that would be more personally fulfilling than the typical volunteer opportunities I was encountering," Ms. Gallin said, noting that it was only later that she learned of the Café Scientifique movement.
In Seattle, Gretchen Meller, a research scientist, and a few of her friends had their first event last September in a local bookstore (scienceontap.org). "If the general population is to vote on these issues eventually," she said, "they need the opportunity to ask questions."
Indeed the topics are sometimes taken from headlines. Café Scientifique Pittsburgh will be host to the author Pamela Winnick, who will discuss her book "A Jealous God: Science's Crusade Against Religion." The Pittsburgh science cafe was started by two science writers in 2004 and is held at the Penn Brewery every month. Tim Palucka, a 46-year-old freelance science writer, shows off the humorous side of Café Scientifique when he jokes that their motto should have been "Talk to a drunk scientist" instead of "Eat. Drink. Talk Science."
The topics are not always so funny. Tony Cox spoke here recently on "Risk Analysis and Public Health." Sipping on their microbrews, people listened and then rushed up to Dr. Cox to ask questions during a break before the official questions and answers began.
"It's almost like continuing education," said Lyda Ludeman, a 64-year- old retired I.B.M. systems controller. "And the great part is, they don't test you." Ms. Ludeman comes to Café Scientifique every month with a group of regulars, some wearing denim shirts with Café Scientifique logos sewn on the chest.
John Farmer, a 49-year-old advertising executive who attended with his girlfriend last month, said he liked to come to Café Scientifique occasionally to learn about different topics. "A lot people are intimidated by science," he said. "It's great to drink a beer and to brush elbows with these geeks who have very disciplined minds. Everybody can use a little more science in their lives."

Q: Calling client side application using server side language PHP I am trying to create an application for client side that can be called by php and terminates certain program when it executes. I tried developing an exe file for this but I can't call the exe file via php on client side. Is there any other format of application I can develop that can be called by php? Can I develop a windows service and call it via php instead? I can ask users to download and install anything. However I cannot use javascript to achieve this.

A: I'm going to rephrase your question slightly to make sure I understand:
Can I use PHP script on a server to call an EXE on user's (client) computer?
If that is your question then the answer is:
No. There are other methods, but they generally will not work outside a very strict subset of authorized websites and clients or specialty cases.
However, you state in your question I can ask users to download and install anything. If the user can download a file (executable) from your website and then run it on their computer, what seems to be the problem?

A: I managed to solve this problem but I'm not sure how applicable it is for anyone else who might ever face this problem.
I set up a cookie in php and I check for the value of that cookie in the client's computer.
In my case I'm forcing the clients to use XULRunner as their browser client so there is only one location for the cookie to exist. In case the browser is not fixed, all locations for all browsers need to be handled separately.
Following is the code I am using for the application in client's computer:-
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace beforeSEBstart
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a timer that polls once every 5 seconds
            string appdata = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);
            Console.WriteLine(appdata);
            string curFile = appdata+@"\ETH Zuerich\xul_seb\Profiles\cookies.sqlite-wal";
            System.IO.File.WriteAllText(curFile, string.Empty);
            var timer = new System.Threading.Timer(TimerProc, null, 5000, 5000);
            Console.WriteLine("Polling every 5 seconds.");
            Console.WriteLine("Press Enter when done:");
            Console.ReadLine();
            timer.Dispose();
        }

        static int TickCount = 0;
        static void TimerProc(object state)

            Console.WriteLine(appdata);
            string curFile = appdata + @"\ETH Zuerich\xul_seb\Profiles\cookies.sqlite-wal";
            string line;
            Console.WriteLine(File.Exists(curFile) ? "File exists." : "File does not exist.");
            //Console.WriteLine(File.Exists(curFile) ? "File exists." : "File does not exist.");
            Stream stream = File.Open(curFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);
            StreamReader file = new StreamReader(stream);
            while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                if (line.Contains("SEBClose2"))
                {
                    found = true;
                }
            }
            if (found)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("String exists in the file.");
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ConsoleApplication1.exe");
                foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process myProc in System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses())
                {
                    if (myProc.ProcessName == "beforeSEBstart.vshost" || myProc.ProcessName == "beforeSEBstart")
                    {
                        myProc.Kill();
                    }
                };
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("String does not exist in the file.");
            }
            file.Close();
        }
    }
}

For server side, I just set up a cookie named SEBclose2 in php when client presses the exit button.

San Diego Planning Commission Votes "No" on Uptown Downzone
Full article appears on KPBS.
The San Diego Planning Commission on Thursday rejected a plan to decrease housing density in parts of Hillcrest, Bankers Hill and Mission Hills, signaling an appetite for urbanizing the neighborhoods and adding more housing units.
Commissioners were voting on the Uptown community plan update, a lengthy document meant to guide the neighborhood's growth and development for decades. The latest version of that update included several cases of "downzoning" — decreasing the allowable housing density — resulting in a loss of about 1,900 potential housing units. City staff told the commission the downzoning was to protect historic buildings and to provide transitional zones between high- and low-density areas of Uptown.
Nearly all public testimony was dissatisfied with the final version of the plan update.
The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the community plan update, but without the density decreases. They also recommended eliminating height limits in the neighborhood to reduce the barriers to redeveloping blighted properties. The vote passes the plans on to the City Council, which has final say.
Several residents, developers and property owners told the commission that the only way to address San Diego's affordable housing crisis is to increase the housing supply — and that the only way to do that is to increase housing density.
"We would like to see more housing affordability, parks, improved infrastructure and transit," said Maya Rosas, a member of Uptown Planners and a land use consultant at Atlantis Group. "But decreasing development potential does not move Uptown closer to achieving those important goals."
Atlantis Group is representing a group of Hillcrest property owners calling itself the Uptown Gateway Council. The group presented the commission with their plan for a new mixed-use housing and commercial district that would require large increases in density and height limits in a section of Hillcrest.
Commissioners said they liked the Uptown Gateway Council's ideas in principle, and recommended city staffers give it more attention.

1906 Rover
A guide to 6HP Rover cars
This is an account of my early dealings with DL 126 many years ago, and some of the problems I encountered when I bought the car in 1998 and carried out a major restoration on it.
First published in the Gazette of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain, December 2001.
Over thirty years ago, I had a phone call to ask if I repaired old car engines. My hobby, from a very early age, has been tinkering with anything mechanical and I had earned the reputation of doing the impossible with engines that had been left outside, buried or submerged. Some, we knew, had been under ground for more than 40 years (oddly enough they tended to be the easy ones). I replied, "It's not actually my job, but I like a challenge!" It turned out that a little 1906 Rover, belonging to Mr. Pointer, had stood refusing to start or run properly for 12 years. The local Rover club had asked the Pointers whether they could borrow this for their annual rally. It seemed that Mr Pointer had said, "It would be nice to get the car running, could someone in the club do it?" Someone was given my name, the Rover club got in touch with me and we arranged a date to meet and look at the car.
Not knowing what to expect I took everything I could in the way of tools, although people have sometimes been amazed when I have diagnosed a major fault and got an engine running again in minutes. When I first saw DL 126 it looked in good order. I always start by looking carefully round the car, what has been done to the parts that are visible is often a good guide what things are like inside. What I am told about a problem and anything that has been done to try to solve it is usually a less reliable guide.
DL 126 when owned by Mr. Pointer
Various 'experts' had, supposedly, looked at this car and it was said that someone's wrist had been broken in trying to start it. I immediately noticed that the advance and retard linkages were not right, but the engine had good compression, trembler ignition and petrol was getting through. After about three hours spent carefully checking that it was mechanically safe, sorting out the advance and retard linkages and resetting the timing I was ready to start the engine. It fired first pull. At this stage it didn't run too well because the carburettor slide stuck repeatedly, but for the first time in 12 years, it could be driven a short way. Apparently there had been some betting that it wouldn't start first time. Somebody got a bottle of whisky as a result.
Everyone was satisfied except for me. I didn't like leaving it running so unreliably and said so. I was then asked whether I could repair the carburettor, which I did, making a new slide and spending about a week checking over the rest of the car. In that time I got to know the Pointers' chauffeur, Mr. William. He was a character; he was tall (6′ 2″) and had been a tank driver during the war. It appeared that he still drove the Monteverdi or the Rolls as he would a tank, making one sit rather quiet as a passenger. However, after a short while, it became evident he was actually a very competent driver. The way he handled the Rover was amusing, he would just climb aboard this little car, put (force!) it into gear and go, all in one movement. This slow little car, with him driving, seemed to intimidate other traffic. (I don't have the same confidence and always feel that vehicles are bearing down on me.)
Something still wasn't right, however, the clutch wasn't freeing and the gears were just being crashed in. The clutch is of the oil bath type, and lubricated by oil mist only. I drained about a half a gallon of oil from just the clutch compartment, which was excessive since the combined engine, clutch and gearbox take in total just over a half a gallon. Unfortunately there is no means of telling how much oil is actually in there. I asked William what he had been doing with the oil; he said he was doing exactly what he had been told to do, filling the cup if it was empty before starting the car. Now this cup is always empty before starting, the flywheel then automatically fills it when the car is running; it should only be necessary to add one pint every 70 miles. At least it hadn't been run dry of oil!
Some weeks later I drove DL 126 from Norwich to Bressingham for the Rover Club rally, a round trip of about fifty miles, without using any oil or having any problems. I did however point out some things that needed looking into and I said that although it ran perfectly there was a large amount end float on the engine's crankshaft, which could be causing damage to other parts. The car was offered to me on permanent loan, but sadly, for various reasons, I did not feel that I could take them up on this offer at the time. I didn't hear of the car for a couple of years then I got a phone call to say that it was continually flooding and wouldn't start. All that was wrong was that the carburettor drain screw had been lost; two minutes later we were driving down the road. I parked it back in the garage but didn't see anybody to speak to; this must have been shortly before Mr Pointer's death.
Some years past before I had another a phone call about the car, this time the problem was more serious. Apparently it had started with the output gearbox shaft breaking. Almost immediately afterwards, the bronze bearing housing had broken on that end of the box. I believe that only a couple of outings after repairs had been made, and it was this that the phone call was about, the rear axle aluminium casing had broken in several places. "Could I weld it?" was the question. "No, I didn't weld aluminium as it would be a highly specialised job and needed care," I replied. It seemed that they blamed the transmission brake for some of the damage (the clutch pedal and transmission brake are combined on the Rover). When I had first driven the car the transmission brake had been over adjusted to such an extent that if you tried changing gear you stopped before the clutch disengaged and, knowing the dangers, I had de-adjusted it so it hardly worked. Evidently it had been wrongly adjusted again. I advised them to disconnect it but, sadly, it was completely removed and lost.
I heard nothing more of the car for a number of years, but finally I did get in touch with the Pointer family to ask whether they still had the car. They still had it, but it hadn't been running for about nine years. I was told it had been restored and was for sale. I was eager to buy the car, but I wouldn't have been quite so keen if I had known what this 'restoration' had done to the car. Putting the damage right was to tax my skills, and the skills of others, to their limits.
The reject stub axles. The initial turning was good quality, but there was a lack of understanding of how to accurately position the holes.
I like to do as much as I can myself because it's a challenge and when you succeed where others fail there is a wonderful sense of achievement. There were, however, some low points. These occurred when I had to go to professional precision engineers (?!) because I did not have the equipment to do the job. The first of these occasions was when I needed to have new front stub axles made. My milling machine was not large enough or I would have made them myself. A local firm, supposedly able to work to BS EN ISO 9002, assured me they could make copies of my old stub axles. In the event they machined the holes up to 0.060″out, so this attempt ended in the scrap bin. They declined to make a second attempt. If I can measure to the nearest thousandth of an inch just using an old surface plate, parallel bars, try square, vernier callipers and feelers, they should have been able to do so with the instruments at their disposal.
Damaged pinion gear
I had similar trouble this year getting a new pinion for the back axle. The original pinion had been damaged when the axle casing was broken and more damage had been done when the axle had been reassembled incorrectly. The cost of a replacement put me off replacing it at first, but after only 1500 miles metal was coming off and damaging the plain bearings. I approached a local firm, and was told it would be an easy job for them. To keep the cost down they supplied the materials for me to make three blanks, from which they would then make the gear. A few weeks later, after supposedly losing my blanks and then making six further attempts at cutting the gear they gave up. Eventually I went to Llewellyn's Gears in Bristol, who made a first class job, but this (unsurprisingly) cost much more than the local firm had quoted.
Left to right: old pin, four well made pins, two badly made pins
The differential on the Rover has four spur gears and pins, and I decided that I should replace the pins, which ought to have been a straightforward job. I went to a heat treatment firm who measured the hardness of my original pins and recommended the metal to be used. Because of pressure of time I decided to let a firm of precision engineers do this simple machining job. Before the new pins were sent to be heat-treated I measured them and found that they were 0.032″ short! Another set had to be made, this time, once they had been heat-treated and ground, I decided I didn't like the finish as it could be easily filed. I sent them down to Bristol and they confirmed that the hardness was only 45 instead of 60 and the metal I had been told to use was the wrong material anyway. Once again Llewellyn's made a superb job (at a price). I had sent a drawing indicating the tolerances I was prepared to accept, but this time the machining was precise, they never went to any of my limits. This is the sort of accuracy that I like to work to but it seems very hard to find people who are prepared do so today.
I was not always unlucky, however. When I was rebuilding my engine I had to replace the piston and the connecting rod. The piston in the car was not the original one, it was probably from a compressor, so the engine had been running quite badly out of balance. This had put strain on the connecting rod and caused a crack to start. I was unable to obtain a piston to the original specifications and had to use a lighter one. I had not initially considered the problems of balancing a single cylinder engine where at one end you have a reciprocating motion and at the other a circular motion. Several phone calls later I was feeling that this subject was something of a minefield. I had been given various 'rule of thumb' figures for the balance weight ranging from 50% to 70% of the piston weight. Fortunately I was finally recommended to get in touch with Trevor Hedges, an expert at balancing racing motorcycle engines.
Trevor could not have been more helpful. I took my crank, connecting rod and piston down to his workshop and he made the necessary measurements. My crank was only just skinny enough to fit on his set of knife-edges (motorcycle cranks are much smaller!). He then showed me how to calculate the balance weight. You take 68% of the total weight of the piston, rings and the little end. The little end is weighed with the connecting rod horizontal, the big end being supported on a knife-edge. You then take the weight of the little end away from this figure to find the weight you need to hang on the little end in order to balance the crank when it is on a set of knife-edges.
Being used to much smaller engines, Trevor was rather taken aback by the figure he arrived at so he then spent half an hour on the phone to someone else to check that he was right. I now had a figure to work to but before I could proceed I had to make my own set of knife-edges, flat and exactly parallel. My wife took a pot and some pieces of lead off to school to weigh out the exact amount required on the science labs most accurate balance. The final result, in my daughter's words when the engine was started for the first time after the rebuild, was 'Cool!'
Sometime later, when I drove the car to Trevor's workshop to show him how well his formula had worked, he did admit that it did not always work that well! Apparently motorcycle frames have harmonics so an engine might need some tweaking, depending on the frame it is fitted in. I did not encounter this problem since the Rover engine only runs at 950 to 1200 revs whereas motorcycle engines run at 12000 to 14000 revs.
There were other ups and downs as I gradually returned the Rover to road-worthy condition, sorting out the carburation, for instance, was an interesting exercise that involved throwing the rule book away. It was very successful, however, the petrol consumption improved from 40 mpg to 70 mpg. If it would be of interest to members I might be prepared to put pen to paper again to explain how I achieved this.
Restoration complete
I know that other restorers have met many of the problems that I encountered, but I hope, nonetheless, that my tale is of some interest.

1Such a large crowd of witnesses is all around us! So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won't let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us.
2We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew that later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne!
3So keep your mind on Jesus, who put up with many insults from sinners. Then you won't get discouraged and give up.
4None of you have yet been hurt in your battle against sin.
5But you have forgotten that the Scriptures say to God's children, "When the Lord punishes you, don't make light of it, and when he corrects you, don't be discouraged.
6The Lord corrects the people he loves and disciplines those he calls his own."
7Be patient when you are being corrected! This is how God treats his children. Don't all parents correct their children?
8God corrects all of his children, and if he doesn't correct you, then you don't really belong to him.
9Our earthly fathers correct us, and we still respect them. Isn't it even better to be given true life by letting our spiritual Father correct us?
10Our human fathers correct us for a short time, and they do it as they think best. But God corrects us for our own good, because he wants us to be holy, as he is.
11It is never fun to be corrected. In fact, at the time it is always painful. But if we learn to obey by being corrected, we will do right and live at peace.
13and walk a straight path. Then lame people will be healed, instead of getting worse.
14Try to live at peace with everyone! Live a clean life. If you don't, you will never see the Lord.
15Make sure that no one misses out on God's wonderful kindness. Don't let anyone become bitter and cause trouble for the rest of you.
16Watch out for immoral and ungodly people like Esau, who sold his future blessing for only one meal.
17You know how he later wanted it back. But there was nothing he could do to change things, even though he begged his father and cried.
20because they could not obey its commands. They were even told to kill any animal that touched the mountain.
21The sight was so frightening that Moses said he shook with fear.
22You have now come to Mount Zion and to the heavenly Jerusalem. This is the city of the living God, where thousands and thousands of angels have come to celebrate.
23Here you will find all of God's dearest children, whose names are written in heaven. And you will find God himself, who judges everyone. Here also are the spirits of those good people who have been made perfect.
24And Jesus is here! He is the one who makes God's new agreement with us, and his sprinkled blood says much better things than the blood of Abel.
25Make sure that you obey the one who speaks to you. The people did not escape, when they refused to obey the one who spoke to them at Mount Sinai. Do you think you can possibly escape, if you refuse to obey the one who speaks to you from heaven?
26When God spoke the first time, his voice shook only the earth. This time he has promised to shake the earth once again, and heaven too.
27The words "once again" mean that these created things will someday be shaken and removed. Then what cannot be shaken will last.
28We should be grateful that we were given a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And in this kingdom we please God by worshiping him and by showing him great honor and respect.
29Our God is like a destructive fire!

Ade dug up the last of the allotment leeks at the weekend. They've grown really well this season; we've had a steady supply of them for a couple of months which is great as they're such a useful ingredient for warming, winter comfort foods.
Here's a recipe for a quick, midweek supper which can be made from scratch in half an hour and combines lovely, seasonal leeks with mackerel and pasta, all baked together in a creamy sauce with herbs fresh from the garden.
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to instructions.
Meanwhile, in a larger pan, gently sauté the chopped garlic, sage and leeks in the butter for ten to fifteen minutes.
When the leeks are soft, stir in the creme fraiche, flaked fish, horseradish sauce and add a squeeze of lemon. Turn off the heat and stir well.
Tip everything into a baking dish, smooth the top and scatter with the breadcrumbs. Grill for about ten minutes until golden brown.
Gorgeous. We just had it for supper. I loved the horseradish which was a good contrast with the oily mackerel. Thanks for the recommendation.


Right about here is when we discovered that my fuselage had not had Severice Bulletin #819 complied with when she was rebuilt in 2004, and of course the tubing was rotted away. Oh well….
¿Do you have information about cost and dealers of covering wings?
We have the aircraft of 170 sq-ft ¿how much cost all system covering?


Why do social media sites support unsocial behavior?
I have to wonder if this is some wild plot to separate us from each other. Let's think about this just a little bit and maybe you will see my point. You might not, but then again, that really is your problem. I can only try to explain my point of view.
Social websites all seem to have the same agenda. They support the worst behavior of people. They support laziness, greed, and introverted community. Let me share some real world examples and perhaps you will begin to see the pattern.
Every social website puts in buttons for you to click. Most call this the "like" button but there are other names for these buttons. I won't go into all of them. Suffice it to say, that they have buttons. Buttons can be pressed to AVOID communications. You never have to think. You don't have to type, just click the button. In doing this, they are not only supporting physical laziness but also suppressing any idea of thought. Even a robot can push a button. A human should never use a button to communicate with another human. This is completely undermining human interaction and learning from each other. Tell me exactly how this is helpful to people?
They also support greed. Let's feed the ego my friends! I have more followers than you do. Why even show this? So people will spend their time worried about how many people are not communicating with them. How silly and stupid! Then to make the matter worse, they never notify you when someone unfollows you. Why not? If you are going to tell me when someone follows me, why not tell me when they unfollow? Because we want to support assholes who follow and then immediately unfollow you, the moment you follow them. As if they are too good or clever. But the social media websites completely support this asinine behavior and it completely frustrates and depresses others to have this done to them, over and over again, as if you were like the plague or something. Aren't these sites supposed to be trying to improve the social experience? Why the hell won't they fix this? If they can notify you when someone follows/friends you, they most certainly can let you know when someone leaves.
Furthermore, some sites punish you for sending friend requests. Tell me exactly why I am not supposed to meet new people on a social site. That makes no sense at all. Sending a friend request to someone you do not know offers them an opportunity to get to know someone new. They can always just ignore the request. So tell me why we are punished for trying to interact? This just smacks of unsocial management.
All these sites claim they want to make your lives better but then do everything they possibly can to make the experience negative. I know humans are far from perfect but this just flies in the face of simple common sense. You never reward people for bad behavior but that is exactly what these so-called social websites do. They reward these bad people and thus they continue to do it over and over again, at an even more frantic pace.
I think it is time for a real social revolution. We need to stand up as one and say enough is enough. We need to stop giving these sites the power to systematically destroy our social interactions. How do we do this? The answer is so simple it is stupid. JUST STOP LOGGING IN!!! If you have grown tired of these unsocial websites, just stop going there. There are other sites on the web to explore and many other ways to communicate. Many of these other ways don't require you to give up all rights to your stuff, so they can use them for advertising. Many of them don't have the social stigma of having others see how many people your interacting with or not communicating with. And none of them, will you be following a bunch of jerks that quickly unfollow others.
I have tossed Facebook and Instagram into the garbage bin where they belong. The number of real friends I have met on those two sites is exactly zero. All of my true friends I met elsewhere. Trust me, post something really important and see how many people reply. Disallow people to post to your wall on FB and see how many tell you happy birthday. You will be shocked! I posted about my son trying to commit suicide last week and out of 17,000 people who followed/friended me on these sites, only 2 people said a word to me. Still think you have real friends at these sites? You could not be more wrong if you tried. Having true friends in real life is nearly impossible, now add in the fact that you never have a meaningful conversation with people at these social sites, and you might begin to see reality.
While the name of the company is still in flux, the idea and reasons for creating it are not. After Shadow Shifters, Book 2 is written, I will be forming a publishing company. Mostly for tax purposes but also as a means of helping other young and talented writers and musicians get noticed.
Of course, no great project can be done alone, therefore, I will be looking for people to join me in this venture. I will be seeking another full time editor, a dedicated artist, and a social media expert at minimum. How much time and effort you are willing to invest will determine how much money you will make.
Once the company is formed, I will then be seeking other authors and musicians who write dark stories or music. Of course, the sooner you sign up with us, the quicker we will be able to help you get the notice you deserve. With me having nearly 14k Twitter followers alone, I am certain that a company filled with people who have learned how to build their social media platform (or can be taught), will easily be able to get your products, books or music noticed.
Anyone interested in joining me on this next part of my journey, please use the contact page to reach me.


After testing several different varieties, we've decided to go with those you see attached here.
Brighter than a 55W Halogen and drawing only 20W (high or low), I would almost consider this to be a mandatory upgrade if you're looking to bring your bike into the 21st century. Price is $55 and includes free shipping in the USA. Good for around 10,000 hours of use, so you'll probably never need to change your headlight bulb again.
I was about to start looking for a headlight replacement and this is just the thing.
Arrived this morning and it certainly looks like quality!
Is the wall socket pigtail just for testing?
No. The LED bulbs use a ballast, like HID, but much smaller.
I love how things always become obvious after hitting "submit".
Put one of these in my son's dt175-what an improvement over stock-super bright even running on 6v-great product!
Seriously though, these look great. Has anyone got any reviews at all?
And Sonreir, do they plug straight in and away you go, or are there tweaks required to accommodate the LED?
Mine works super...Plug n play.
