You must have misread my post or were just confused by it. I think the stock risers that I have look too high up off of the top tree,and are ruining the looks. Its not a big issue, but Im looking for options. I was mainly looking to see if risers off of any other bikes fit the VLX trees. This is just a little detail about my bike that has been bugging me when I stare at it.
Then the next thing was, Im going to be running 14" apes. From what Ive read, for taller bars you need solid bushings for the risers. So I am looking for a source for these solid bushings.

This time, Brad and I chose the Hal Higdon Intermediate Half-Marathon Training Program to guide our workouts. The schedule is "for experienced runners who have left their novice roots behind and want to improve their performances. That's us!
Each week calls for three easy runs, a track or tempo run and a long run. Tuesday is speedwork, and we both did our run inside on the treadmill.
This is one of the reasons be bought our 'mill, and it worked perfectly!
I did five 400-meter intervals at 5K pace (8:41) with 200-meter walks between. With warmup and cooldown, 2.25 miles.
Brad came home and did the same workout (at his much faster pace). Then we cleaned up and headed to Bridge City Cafe for yummy, cheesy veggie sandwiches.
My plan was to eat some dairy-filled dinners this week before going veganish at the end of the week. But I've been feeling SO horrible that I decided this sandwich was it. So as of this writing, I'm done with all cow dairy for at least three months. Fingers crossed!!
We made a quick stop at Whole Foods on the way home and picked up a couple items for our new diet.
Then it was home to prep for Wednesday and then curl up with my book:
A nice No-TV Tuesday :)

Remember my "Five Little Pumpkins" and "Mary, Mary Quite Contrary" craft stick puppets? Now it's time for you to see the last side of that same box! This one is reserved for the tale of everyone's favorite ill-fated egg dude, Humpty Dumpty. I couldn't find an open source clip-art version of Mr. Dumpty that I liked, so I drew one in Microsoft Paint. I'm sharing it as a PDF for library, home, and classroom use.
Humpty DumptyHumpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. And all the King's horses, and all the King's men, Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Like the other two, this puppet was inspired by Nancy Renfro's Storytelling with Puppets. There are two puppets: broken and intact Humptys. When Humpty falls, I hold the broken puppet in my hand. To show Humpty broken, I cut out a seperate image of him and cut it into 3 pieces. I slide that stick puppet through the bottom of the box, like so:
I love making displays! But when you work in a library with a small to medium collection, sometimes you have to work ahead of the calendar when pulling books to fit a seasonal/holiday topic like St. Patrick's Day. I try to pull books for the next holiday BEFORE the current holiday has happened. So I pulled St. Patrick's Day books the week before Valentine's Day, when they were actually still on the shelf.
Here's my sign, if you'd like to use it for your own St. Patrick's Day display. The artwork is adapted from Open Clip Art.
I'll be adding Easter and general spring books soon, as well.
I'm excited to announce that I have two upcoming speaking gigs!
The first is a free webinar with the Pennsylvania Library Association on planning summer reading programs. It's a panel discussion with 2 other YS librarians on Wednesday, March 6th at 10 a.m. EST. As far as I know, you don't need to be in PA to register, so I hope you'll join us.
The second is a presentation with out-of-statersSara and Anna at the Michigan Library Association's Spring Institute Conference.We'll be talking about awesome passive programs you can put on at your library even if you have NO time and NO money. We'll be talking on Friday, April 12th at 3:00 p.m. This year's conference is in our lovely state capital of Lansing at the Lexington Hotel. We are the very last session of the whole conference so please don't skip us to start your weekend early!
I'm hosting this guest post on behalf of Cory Eckert, a librarian in New Mexico. Cory and I are Twitter friends and when she tweeted about her Frog and Toad puppet show, I asked if she'd write it up for my blog, since she doesn't have a blog of her own. Thanks, Cory! Here's what she has to say:
Frog and Toad have so many things going for them, mainly that they are AWESOME characters who hold up really well after all these years. I love "A Lost Button"* because it's repetitive enough to bring little kids along after a button or two. Actually, I just realized that it would pair pretty perfectly with Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons, and then you could talk about how Toad freaks out v. how Pete stays calm. Anyway, I didn't do that. I usually keep the puppet show shorter than a traditional storytime because it's at lunch time on a Saturday and it seems like my families swing by while they're downtown + then head to lunch. It's a quick …
Every youth librarian should have a folder story in his or her arsenal. A popular one is Scat the Cat, but a really simple one I made is an adaptation of the poem "Signals" by Shel Silverstein. You can find it on page 20 of A Light in the Attic.
The poem begins by describing what to do when a traffic light changes to red or green, but then asks "But what do you do/When the light turns blue/With orange and lavender spots?"
To make this folder story, I drew a traffic light in Micrsoft Paint (super simple: a rectangle with three ovals inside) and printed it on some yellow cardstock we have had forever. Then I grabbed a folder and cut out its middle. I used strips of construction paper for the red and green lights and drew a blue strip with orange and lavender dots in Paint for the last light change.
Have hordes of Dork Diaries fans invaded your fair library? That has definitely been the case in mine. All of our copies are checked out with waiting lists. Same with my go-to readalikes. I put a call out for suggestions from my Twitter network, and like usual, they did not disappoint. I turned their recommendations into this quick display (not all titles pictured). On the right is something I have been trying to do more often with my displays: jot down notes of what titles I've included so that they can a) be reused easily in the future and b) refilled quickly in the present. Some of the titles for this display are: Drama by TelgemeierAmelia series by MossDear Dumb Diary series by BentonAlvin Ho series by LookPopularity Papers by Ignatow8th Grade is Making Me Sick by HolmJustin Case series by VailOrigami Yoda series by Anglebarger Big Nate series by Peirce
Yet another Shel Silverstein poem from my huge Where the Sidewalk Ends kick! Here's "Recipe for a Hippopotamus Sandwich." It's on page 115. This is a fun story to tell with a hippo puppet (mine told me his name is Humphrey) and prop ingredients.
It goes something like this:
"A hippo sandwich is easy to make. All you do is simply take [list of ingredients]. ...And now comes the problem... Biting into it!"
The ingredients in the original version are things like bread, cake, mayonnaise, onion rings, hippo (obviously), etc. I encourage you to use whatever is handy. The sillier the better. I have an extremely high-brow sense of humor, so I threw in a pair of little mermaid underpants. I never met Mr. Silverstein, but I feel that he would have approved.
You can either hand out a bunch of ingredients in advance to the kids or you can tell the whole story yourself. The first way is much more interactive, but it's up to you if you want to go that direction.
Once upon a time, I got an email from the school district announcing that their March and April playgroup calenders were available. "Oh no," I thought. "Now I have to print them and stick them somewhere they won't get lost or clutter up the youth desk for the next three months... OR DO I?"
So I decided to try something different. I stapled 3 manila folders to the Events bulletin board, which is the first thing patrons see when they enter the youth department at my library. For a few months, I used handwritten index cards taped to the outsides to designate them as "January playgroup calenders," etc. It was an ugly but functional, temporary situation. I was amazed at how many more of the calendars patrons started picking up when it was right where they were looking as they entered the department. I'd always assumed that the spot right next to the checkout counter was where we were getting the most eyeballs. BUT, and this makes sense when you think …
Are you sick of me talking about surveys yet? In the past few months, I've done a reader survey and two ethics surveys. BUT a while back Amy Koesterand I were discussing what books are going out of style and which are up and coming in our libraries.
We plan two rounds of surveys. In the first round, which we're starting today, we're asking participants for the titles of 10 series of middle grade novels that are popular in your (public or school) library. We're also wondering what series are declining in popularity. We'll leave the survey open for about a week. Look for the second half around mid-February. Take the first round survey!
I'm so excited to be hosting the Flannel Friday roundup for the first time in what feels like a decade. If you're participating this week, please leave a comment below with the link to your post. If you'd like to participate in Flannel Friday and don't have a blog of your own, I'd be happy to post it for you. Just send me an email anne [at] sotomorrowblog.com and we'll work out the details.
Where in the world are you?
Did you know that Flannel Friday is going to be celebrating its 2nd anniversary on March 15th? As part of the festivities, we are putting together a map of our bloggers AND readers. We want to include you! Please fill out this survey and we will add you. You do not need to list your city. If no city is given, we will place you in the capital of your state or country, as appropriate. The map will be revealed during the anniversary roundup.
Remember my Five Little Pumpkins Craft Stick Puppets from way back before Halloween? Well, what I didn't tell you then is that I actually use that same box for three different rhymes: that one; Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary; and Humpty Dumpty (coming soon to a Flannel Friday near you!).
The words, as I learned them, are below. Wikipedia, as always, has an interesting article about all the different variations of this rhyme, most changing the last line. Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary Mary, Mary, quite contrary. How does your garden grow? Silver bells and cockle-shells, And marigolds all in a row.
I made the stems of the puppets by hot gluing felt to a craft stick. The flower petals are left over from a duct-tape flip-flop program last summer. The flowers grow as I slide the craft sticks through slits in the bottom of the box. Since my dinosaur finger puppet is in the background, let's pretend she's Mary.
"Mary, Mary" is a lesser-known nursery rhyme, but I think it'…

Flying Aces forward Langford makes NAHL debut
The Minnesota Flying Aces of the North American 3 Hockey League (3HL) have announced that forward Stephen Langford has been traded to the Minot Minotauros of the North American Hockey League (NAHL).
Langford made his debut with Minot last weekend as they played host to the Austin Bruins on Friday and Saturday.
Langford, 19, from Fort Collins, CO, played in 30 games, as a forward and scored 20 goals, 15 assists, for 35 points.
“His play has consistently gotten better, since before the 3HL showcase, in Darien, IL and it was noticed, “said Aces Head Coach Craig Larson. “It’s really every player’s goal to improve throughout the season and have that opportunity, for the hard work and dedication that they do put in,” continued Larson. “He’s a driven young man, who will continue to work at the next level, to excel and we wish him the best.”
The Aces are at home Friday night, as they take on North Iowa Bulls, then they play host to the Peoria Mustangs, on Saturday.

Travel To Inchture In The Carse Of Gowrie, Scotland
e-mail me today.
Just south of the busy A.85 dual-carriageway between Perth and Dundee, 7 miles west of the latter, is the village of Inchture. As its name implies, once an island in the flooded Carse of Gowrie. It must have been a very low island, for its eminence is hardly noticeable in the level flats; indeed the church and churchyard are alleged to be built up 6 to 8 feet artificially, presumably to afford suitable burial facilities in the early days. Tuir, in Gaelic means a dirge, or lament for the dead, and it may be that the original inch got its name thus; although another claimed derivation is innis-t-ear, the island to the east. Today there is a neat red-stone estate-type village, with church, school, hotel and a shop or two, all under an avenue of tall old trees, and rather attractive.
The parish church is distinctly ambitious for so small a community; but the parish itself is fairly large, and now incorporates the former parish of Rossie. The Gothic building dates from 1834, and is unusual in having handsome red ashlar stone at front and sides, but only harling at the rear, an economy the present author has not seen elsewhere in a church. It stands amongst many ancient gravestones, with another Kinnaird vault below the building, additional to that at the old chapel at Rossie.
Most of the antiquities of this parish are in the higher ground of the Rossie area, and dealt with under that name. A battle was allegedly fought near the ruined castle of Moncur, across the main road to the north of the village, in 728, when in a civil war Hungus, or Angus, defeated Nectan and gained the leadership of the Picts.
The Parish covers 5330 acres, of which no fewer than 1200 are described as foreshore or have been reclaimed from the firth. A long dead-straight road of 2 miles runs down over the rich flat cornlands to salt water at Powgavie. Pow or poll is the name given to the sluggish streams or stanks which drain the carse. At Powgavie there was formerly a harbour, once quite important, where there was a hamlet and alehouse, all now gone and only a sea of reeds and rushes remaining. At low tide, the Powgavie Burn winds its way out through the mud-flats and sandbanks of Dog Bank for almost three miles. Some of the farms in these fertile carselands have odd names-such as Maggotland, Mammiesroom, Waterbutts and Unthank. At Grange, 3 miles south-west of Inchture, there is a sizeable community, amongst scattered orchards and broiler-houses. Inchture district is famous for the cultivation of strawberries. All this Carse of Gowne, of course, claims the title of the Garden of Scotland.
If you would like to visit this area as part of a highly personalized small group tour of my native Scotland please:

MySpace Revamps Games Home Page
Los Angeles-based MySpace said today that it has launched a new, revamped version of the firm's game homepage, as a new MySpace Games site, to provide a more social gaming environment. According to the social networking site, it has made it easier for users to discover and share games, added analytics tool and an application programming interface (API) for developers, linked the games site into high score service Scoreloop, as well as wired the site to better track how users are finding and choosing specific games. The site also said it has rolled out a new iPhone application which allows users to play any of the games on the MySpace site on their iPhone.

2012 Presidential Election Information
Mitt Romney: Romney is the Republican nominee for president. He is a businessman and the former governor of Massachusetts. He is also credited with saving the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics from financial ruin.
Paul Ryan: Ryan is a conservative congressman from Florida who has acted as the leading voices on budget matters in the House of Representatives. He is the Republican nominee for vice-president.
Ann Romney: Ann is the wife of Mitt Romney and considered Mitt's "secret weapon" in the 2012 presidential election.
Why Conservatives Should Support Romney: "If he means what he says, and continues the path towards conservatism he has been on, he may wind up being the nominee conservatives never knew they wanted."
Romney's Economic and Spending Platform: "Overall, Romney's economic proposals would be welcomed by conservatives across the board. The policies offer a major contrast to the big government, anti-business, Big Labor policies that have dominated the Obama agenda. While some conservatives may view portions of the Romney plan as not being forceful enough, it certainly is a realistic start of what could be accomplished in the first four years of any administration."
How 2010 Helps Romney in 2012: "The tea party had significant gains in almost every state that matters this year, and those victories give Romney and Ryan valuable people to campaign with as they hop from state to state. Just as importantly, it reduces the star-power in each state that the Obama campaign has to campaign with. (And in many of these swing states, the Democrats who do hold office are trying to distance themselves from the administration anyway.)"
More Swing States in Play with Mitt Romney:Mitt Romney is looking at a much more favorable electoral landscape in 2012 than McCain had in 2008. He has turned many Obama states competitive and he has the money to win them.
Are Democrats Really Excited Ryan is the GOP VP Nominee?: There are 5 reasons democrats are probably not sincere when saying they are glad Ryan is Mitt Romney's running-mate. Among those reasons: 1) He is not a radical; 2) He is a fact machine; 3) He's serious. Really, really serious.
2012 Senate Election Information
How Conservatives Can Win the US Senate in 2012: The Republican Party's goal of winning the US Senate in 2012 is very attainable. The party really needs only to break even on the competitive seats to make it happen.
Republican Senate Seats up for Re-election in 2012: "The Republicans are fortunate to only have to defend only 10 of the 33 seats up for election in 2012. If Republicans win the 8 senate states they are favored in, they will be sitting at 45 before counting the Brown seat in Massachusetts and the 23 seats that the Democrats must defend, with at least 11 Democratic-held seats being highly competitive."
Democratic Senate Seats up for Re-election in 2012: "The GOP should be strong - and in a handful of cases strongly favored to win - in currently Democratic-held seats in Nebraska, Missouri, North Dakota, and Montana with break-even shots in Florida, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Ohio, and Virginia."

The fourth-, fifth-,and sixth-grade stu dents in Barbara Lewis's classroom do not spend all of their time in school struggling with dividing fractions and memorizing spelling words; some of their school time is taken up fighting city hall. These children, from some of the poorest families in Salt Lake City, are "responsible" for the clean-up of a hazardous waste site, the planting of hundreds of trees, and the passage of seven new laws. In her book, The Kids' Guide to Social Action, Lewis tells children that "solving social problems will bring excitement and suspense into your life. Instead of reading textbooks and memorizing what others have done, you'll create your own history with the actions you take."
Across the country, schools are adding a new subject to the curriculum–political activism. While Lewis's students receive grades in her class for their political activities, scores of school districts have set up programs that require all students to perform community service before they graduate. Parents and school-board members may believe these programs are meant to develop in otherwise apathetic students an ethic of voluntarism and the habit of serving their communities. But many of those who have designed and administered student service see their mission much differently; they want to train a corps of young political activists.
Community-service programs, which are common in many private schools, have been adopted by some 500 public school districts in the United States. Atlanta, Detroit, and the District of Columbia are among the major school districts that require community service. In many areas, officials barely keep track of the students' activities. Maryland, however, requires student service as a condition of graduation–the only state to do so. With nearly 200,000 students enrolled in public high schools, Maryland's service program is easily the largest in the nation.
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the former president of the Maryland Student Service Alliance (MSSA), which administers the program for Maryland, considers community-service programs laboratories for teaching democratic values. Townsend, who now works for the Clinton administration, told the Associated Press, "You have to do a lab for science; think of this as a lab for citizenship."
Students who participate in service programs are not simply talking to lonely and forgotten nursing-home residents or wading in trash-filled creeks hauling out old tires. They are being taught that to solve the problems in their communities they have to lobby their state senator, pass out petitions, or demonstrate in front of the county courthouse.
Maryland is the self-proclaimed leader in this new movement, known as "service learning." The MSSA defines service learning as "making a difference through actions of citizenship, by participating in advocacy projects to assist the disenfranchised or to correct an injustice through petitioning, making presentations, conducting surveys, and presenting results." Margaret A. O'Neill, the current head of MSSA, cannot say exactly what the definition means. She declines to state what constitutes "correcting an injustice." O'Neill says such terms have to be defined by individual communities.
The MSSA's program is not community service in any traditional sense. The alliance states in its materials that "the term community service carries connotations of restitution for committing a non-violent crime." (One joke circulating around the state asks, "What do criminals and Maryland high-school seniors have in common?" Answer: "They both get out by doing community service.") The MSSA also says, "Volunteering refers to a person demonstrating good will to offer time and energy to address a need, rather than a structured learning experience." Making service part of the school curriculum means making it more than simply helping others. It means teaching students something, in this case a lesson about citizenship. And that requires some political content.
The model for service learning in Maryland and in most of the educational literature consists of three elements: preparation, action, and reflection. First, says O'Neill, students are asked what they believe the community's problems are. In the curriculum materials Maryland has developed, the most commonly mentioned issues are senior citizens, people living in poverty, and the environment. O'Neill says these are the issues that come up "when teachers tell us what they care the most about."
After the issues are chosen, the students "analyze" them. Beverly Durham, a teacher at Wicomico High School in Salisbury, Maryland, describes student service in a video prepared by the MSSA: "The first part of the year, the students study the issues of disability, handicap-ism, age-ism, abject poverty, conservation and ecology, and health-care issues. They do this by having community people come into the classroom, provide round-table discussions, pass out pamphlets. It is a stimulus and response, question and answer period."
Finally, the students develop and perform a service project, usually with the guidance of an "expert," either a community activist or a government employee. Afterwards, MSSA materials instruct, "A student may decide to take civic action or advocacy." MSSA states, "This involves working to eliminate the cause of the problem and to inform the public about the issues involved." Teaching materials suggest that "this could range from writing a letter to the editor, to lobbying for a cause, to engaging in a political campaign."
Hope Shannon, a teacher at Chesapeake High School in Baltimore County and the county school system's designated fellow in student service, has her students working on homelessness, trying to persuade state and local government officials to eliminate the problem. Last year, her students collected poems, essays, photos, and drawings about homelessness and assembled them into a pamphlet that they sent to members of the Maryland legislature.
In the pamphlet's introduction, the student editor said, "We believe homelessness is a problem that those higher up in government should try to solve instead of just bandaging." Shannon says her students wanted to give homeless persons more than such temporary forms of relief as soup and blankets. So the students donated the $250 they raised from the sale of the pamphlets to Action for the Homeless, a group that lobbies the legislature to fund programs on homelessness. Shannon says they chose this group specifically because of its lobbying efforts.
The principal educational arguments advanced by proponents of student service are that the requirement motivates students and leaves them feeling that their education is relevant. Classroom teachers, however, aren't that passionate about the programs. A June 1991 Phi Delta Kappan article by Dan Conrad and Diane Hedin reported that "much of the initiative for school-based service comes from policy makers and politicians–not educators." Robert Moore, a spokesman for the Maryland State Teachers Association, told the Philadelphia Inquirer, "This [the Maryland program] is a feel-good program for politicians."
Last year, the Institute for Justice, a public-interest law firm in Washington, D.C., represented parents and students who opposed the community-service requirement for high-school students in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The students challenged the requirement as a violation of the right to be free of coerced affirmance of belief under the First Amendment and the 13th Amendment's prohibition of involuntary servitude. The suit was unsuccessful in the lower courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the institute's appeal.
Still, the Bethehem program underscores the implicit political nature of some community-service requirements. All Bethlehem students must perform 60 hours of unpaid service, choosing from a list of more than 70 organizations approved by the school district. Along with such charitable establishments as the Cedarbrook Nursing Home, the district includes Planned Parenthood of Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Interfaith Peace Resource Council on its approved list. Although these groups do provide community services, they also seek to advance political agendas: Planned Parenthood lobbies for tax-subsidized abortions; the Interfaith Peace Resource Council advocates nuclear disarmament. But if any other group wishes to be listed in the service program, the district's regulations say that group "must provide assurances that the organization is free from doctrinal motivation."
Even if the courts refuse to declare community-service requirements unconstitutional, Institute for Justice attorney Scott Bullock predicts that the "next generation of lawsuits" will occur in those school districts that politicize their programs or refuse to include traditional voluntarism as part of the service requirement. The institute may represent Eagle Scout Aric Herndon, a ninth-grader in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Herndon's scouting activities don't count toward his service requirement. "Politicizing these programs inevitably leads to litigation as school officials and students battle over which organizations, in the words of the Bethlehem program, `promote the welfare of the community,'" Bullock says.
Far from training a generation of students who prefer to work with their neighbors in "little platoons" to feed the hungry or house the homeless, service learning teaches the opposite lesson: Once an individual recognizes a problem, it is his duty to lobby the government to solve it. As one Maryland high-school student states in an MSSA video, "I feel I have a commitment to go lobby, even for myself. You know, I could go lobby for these people, because they can't all help themselves."

I have been wanting to write about the topic of binge eating for a while now, because I know that it’s something that many people struggle with—myself included.
Even though I have lost a significant amount of weight and have a great deal of success on Weight Watchers and have, over the years, maintained much of my weight loss, I still struggle pretty consistently with binge eating. I struggled with binge eating prior to my weight loss journey (which is why and how I got over 300lbs in the first place), but I have still struggled with it throughout my journey as well.
My binge eating sessions are typically in the evenings, when I’m home by myself and am alone, and typically include either fast food, food delivery, and/or desserts. I often find myself in cycles of binge eating, where I might go off the rails for 3 to 5 days and then it stops. And I might go a few weeks or months without a binge session and then BAM! Something triggers it again and I find myself in another series of binge eating sessions.
SOME HELPFUL TIPS IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH BINGE EATING
I’m no expert by any means and still struggle with this issue, but I will share with you what has helped me to manage my binge eating behaviors and maintain my overall weight loss over the years:
- Tracking EVERYTHING (YES! Even when I binge eat, I track it all to the best of my ability. I have found that tracking my binge sessions has helped give me an awareness about what I am eating and helped me in my overall journey know what behaviors are really the cause of my results on the scale!)
- Opening up about my binge sessions with a trusted, supportive and empathetic friend. The key is finding someone that won’t pass on judgment and preferably someone that won’t become overly preachy with advice. Whenever I’ve opened up and shared about my binge eating behavior, I’ve been able to dig myself out of that shame spiral that results (binge –> feel ashamed –> binge because I feel so bad about myself for binge eating –> wash/rinse/repeat cycle). The only way I’ve ended this cycle is by actually talking about it and pulling myself out of the shameful feelings that come from the behavior.
- Going to meetings and weighing in each week. Seeing the scale on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis has given me an awareness about my actions that helps keep me in check. I know that there’s an unhealthy obsession with the scale as well, but when I think back on how I got to be 300lbs in the first place, it comes with an unwillingness to step on the scale at all and then, when I finally did, being shocked by where I was at. By stepping on the scale each week, I am holding myself accountable to my own health and then able to decide whether I want to continue down the path I’m on or change directions.
- Seeking the help of a therapist (to help me address the real issues at hand and find a healthier outlet for managing the outside factors that may be causing the binge eating behavior).
A DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK AT BINGE EATING
At one of my WW meetings, one of the members shared about how she was reading a book or watching some documentary that talked about binge eating. It gave me a different way of looking at binge eating that has helped shift my mindset behind it a bit. It talked about looking at binge eating as a form of self-care. Somehow, in our lifetime, we learned this behavior to care for ourselves through food. Whether it’s the comfort we get from food. Numbing pain and discomfort with food. The protection we get from added weight. Whatever the issues underneath the surface that we don’t always see or want to address, that we’ve learned that binge eating is a means of survival in that moment. It really gave me a lot to think about. Weight loss and my health are important to me, but when life is tough and I’m struggling to manage all the stress, deadlines, expectations, pressure… I will turn to food. It will take the edge off in that moment and for the rest of that day. I don’t think anyone goes into a binge session wanting to hurt themselves, wanting to gain weight, wanting any health-related issues that may come from it all. At that very moment, we want some immediate relief and help to cope with what we cannot handle. That’s it.
That was a game-changing way of looking at binge eating for me. It helped take some (not all) of the shame that comes with binge eating behavior. Is it the healthiest way take care of yourself? Probably not. Are there worse or more harmful things you could turn to instead? Absolutely.
It’s a learned behavior for self-care and until we unlearn that and pick up other, more healthy ways of caring for ourselves and dealing with things that drive us to that behavior, that will be our self-care choice.
TIPS FOR SUPPORTING SOMEONE THAT STRUGGLES WITH BINGE EATING
Last, but certainly not least, you may not struggle with binge eating, but know of someone that does and you may be wondering how to support them. It can be difficult to empathize and try to help someone that is struggling with something you have not struggled with before or simply don’t understand.
As someone that has struggled with binge eating, here are some tips for how you can support someone that struggles with it:
- Try not to offer help or advice. It’s really common to want to offer people help or advice to help them, especially with something that they’re struggling with and coming to you about. However, for most people that struggle with binge eating, they aren’t looking for help or advice. They know that binge eating is not a helpful or healthy behavior, but offering advice (even with the best of intentions) can often leave someone that’s struggling with binge eating feeling even worse about their behavior, especially if the advice comes off as “common sense” or “obvious”. It’s usually the shame from the binge eating behavior that feels worse than the binge eating itself, so when you can simply listen and not try to fix the situation, you’re able to provide a healthy, safe environment for someone that’s struggling with binge eating.
- Ask how you can best support them. The best thing you can do to help someone that struggles with binge eating is simply ask them, “How best can I support you?” More often than not, someone that struggles with binge eating just needs to feel like they have a supportive, non-judgmental outlet to share about what they ate or the binge eating behavior and the reassurance that regardless of the behavior, you still care about them.
I recognize that binge eating is a serious issue and that it may require additional help, such as with the assistance of a doctor (whether that’s a therapist, dietitian, nutritionist or all of the above). It’s not something that should be looked at lightly, because it has some serious long-term harmful effects on your physical, mental and emotional well-being. However, I only wanted to share this post because I also want to show that it, like many other things in life, can be managed in healthy and productive ways and doesn’t have to mean you’re at a complete loss for a healthy weight or lifestyle.

X-Force ended because so many fans were pissed that their black op X-Men mag had been turned into its exact opposite: A brightly colored team that was in the spotlight, public, and all about making money off being heroes. But before she died, Edie whispered the name of the new team into the ear of the team leader, and her boyfriend, Mister Sensitive.
And you’ve got to love Mike Allred’s covers in this series. This one in particular….
Anyway, nothing to fear. X-Statix got its own book the very next month.

currently being turned on its ear thanks to the inevitable onslaught of
yet another VCR-type standards war can be bad news for consumers, the
good news is that you probably won't have to worry about being stuck with
an obsolete cellphone because, by the time one standard emerges as the
winner (if, indeed it ever happens), the new models will be so cheap they'll
be practically giving them away anyway.
Cellular telephones have been
around for a decade or so, and before that radio phones kept people in
touch while on the road (and still do, to a limited extent, in the "boonies"),
but digital cellular phones, with their promise of revolutionizing personal
communications, first started coming to the forefront in 1996.
Digital PCS (personal communications
systems) is the latest and, so far, greatest generation of cellphone gadgetry.
Until it raised its rather attractive head, the rapidly-shrinking wireless
phone used analogue technology - which included with it shortcomings like
garbled signals, limited and overcrowded bandwidth, and sometimes cut
off calls as you went from cell to cell.
As with every other technology
that has gone digital, however, digital PCS promises to fix those problems,
at least to a large degree. PCS' digital signals sound more like an old
fashioned wired phone than the "voice inside a barrel" of earlier
cellphones, far more simultaneous calls can be made on the "digital
band," "handoffs" from cell to cell are much improved (though
still not perfect) - and the digital domain opens up a whole new world
of communications possibilities impossible to fathom with "old tech"
analogue: for instance, paging, e-mail reception, and even videoconferencing.
For those keen on learning
a few more buzzwords and acronyms, the standards around which various
service providers are rallying are, for the most part, CDMA, TDMA, and
All are different methods of
providing you with your digital cellular phone service. The differences
are mainly in how the task is accomplished. Fortunately, consumers will
rarely - if ever - have to deal with any of this.
The CDMA (Code Division Multiple
Access) method uses "pseudo random codes" to slip your call
into the larger digital bitstream that's carrying everyone else's calls
as well. At the receiving end, the codes are used to reconstruct your
unique data, separating it out from the mix. CDMA is said to have the
best sound quality.
TDMA (Time Division Multiple
Access) breaks up the bitstream into time slots, transmitting fragments
of your conversation at precisely timed intervals, while GSM (Global System
for Mobile communications) is an adaptation of TDMA that's used in about
100 countries around the world, mostly in non-North American markets.
TDMA has really been around since the 1960's, so it may not be the most
advanced, but it's still enjoying success and is experiencing real growth
in South America.
Think of the different standards
in the same way you receive AM and FM radio signals. Both radio systems
give you incessant music, talk, and commercials, but in different ways
and on different bands. While you need a radio capable of receiving both
types of broadcast to hear both types, such radios are as common as Carter's
Translating this analogy to
the digital cellphone world, whatever standard you end up supporting via
your choice of service provider still allows you to send and receive calls
from people using the other standards. So the differences as far as you're
concerned are mostly moot: the only time you may have to worry about your
phone becoming a tiny little plastic dinosaur is if your cellular provider
goes the way of the big, flesh and blood dinosaurs, leaving your standard
high and dry, or if you travel to a place where your standards aren't
Who's using which?
So far, CDMA seems to be the
most popular choice on the North American continent, though some companies
are scheduled to add TDMA technology, too.
There's a new trend towards
multi-standard cellphones, however, that may end up giving consumers the
best of all worlds. Some companies plan to offer "tri-mode"
handsets that'll be perfectly happy to work with the "old" analogue
and the newer TDMA and CDMA systems. Test models of these multi-standard
phones have been made.
While it's probably simplest
over the long run to have a single standard, whichever scenario plays
out should allow consumers a relatively painless and seamless transition.
So don't worry too much about
which standard a provider uses when you're contemplating a cellular phone
purchase. Rather, consider factors like airtime charges and what packages
are available. And don't forget issues like "roaming."
Roaming is when you travel
outside your "home area," and means you end up using a different
network than your own. It's kind of like "long distance" in
that you generally pay extra for the roaming charges you ring up than
your normal airtime rate.
If you do a lot of travel,
you'll want to know you'll be able to use your phone when you get to your
destination. Most providers offer some sort of roaming agreements, though
if you roam really far afield you may find your phone requires the installation
of a new chip to make it compatible with the standards there.
If you do a lot of roaming
to an incompatible area a lot, you're probably best served getting a second
cellphone, since it's generally cheaper to get a new phone than to retrofit
an existing one.
Your bottom line?
Don't get hung up on standards. Pay attention to features, packages, coverage
areas, and roaming compatibility.

Im a med surge nurse with 1.5 years experience in ortho neuro trauma at a level 1 hospital . I am used to getting 2-4 admits and doing about 3-4 discharges a day. I would love to advance to the ER. I have an offer, but a part of me is scared to do it! The patient ratio is 4 unless vented or ICU status then 1. They do a podding system where you buddy up with your nurse so that means at times more then 4 patients.
I wanna know what you guys think is the best part of working in the emergency room? And what do you think is the worse?
Also i was told 11am-11pm is the busiest and i would be coming in from 3pm-3am. Does that mean i would have no sit down chart time from 3-11? Im used to working on a busy floor and feel the ER would def look n ice on my resume for future advancement!
Thoughts/opinions would be appreciated much

We’re doing a little spring cleaning/redecorating and for the first time my office is included. The floor is being refinished (or whatever the right word is). That means the furniture must leave… at least temporarily. Behind the furniture is 21 years of wires and cables.
I removed every strand, but it was like an archeological dig!
I found a parallel cable. It wasn’t connected to anything. It was just there hiding. Parallel cables used to be used for printers. Not recently.
There was a full charging stand for a Palm Pilot. It was also under stuff and unconnected.
I threw most of the wires in a big plastic box where they await repatriation. I suspect half are no longer needed. It is always difficult to discard wires. I’m not sure I can. I’m not that strong.

(in reply to this post
Well, I'm not going to make any attempt whatsoever to defend Spong; I excommunicated him a decade ago at least.You
excommunicated him? Odd, your church didn't. I didn't know you were an episcopalian bishop...
And as for the Rt. Rev. Catherine Waynick: she's irrelevant here. There's no era in which an Anglican church would support what you're planning to do. The Episcopal Church even has a bishop for the Armed Forces chaplaincies, and other chaplaincies are under ordinary bishops.
To be blunt:you're trying to evade the point. Loose canon bishops and female clergy aren't going to distract from the historical reality that the apostolic standard for Christian life is within a community in which there is weekly worship, preferably Eucharistic worship. The notion of a sort of instant anchorite life is not something for a catechumen to be diving into. That is the actual tradition; accept no schismatic substitutes.
Well, I bring up your "church's" heterodoxy, because I find virtually everything you write to be nauseatingly hypocritical. For you to refer to anything as a "schism" is an absurdity - there would be no "episcopalian church" were it not for King Henry's lust/avarice, and the later desire of American Anglicans to not be too closely associated with the head
of their "church" (to this day, the reigning monarch in England is the official head of the Anglican church). A schism of the papal schism - who are you to sermonize anyone?
You can complain all you want about Cate Waynick's gender, but one thing she is not is vagante. The diocese over which she has been placed is duly consituted within the Episcopal Church, and her election and consecration were according to the church's constitution and canons.
This is like speaking of a "canonically ordained mule". You seem oblivious to the profoundly contra-apostolic
character of your schism.
As for the appropriatness of learning from a distance, due to necessity, and making due (for the time being
) with regular visits of Priests (or even Bishop Gregory) up into Canada, and doing a Reader's Service for the time being...I don't see how this can be pooh-poohed by anyone, when the choice is "remain in sin" or "be a baptized Christian". There is no choice
in such a situation.
I find it inredible that you actually think alienation from the Church is a viable option. We're not talking about a social committment here, but the the indwelling of the grace of God! This is the difference between being a member of Christ, and looking in from afar. Your whole tone on this subject smacks of a casual attitude towards the salvation of souls - while not an unexpected attitude for a heretic to hold, I don't "get" how you don't see why
such a view is utterly inadmissable in an Orthodox
The prayers in the Holy Spirit of even a solitary believer, have more objective value (for they occur in Christ) than any number of schismatical/heretical services, or pretended worship. I desire this incredible gift, while recognizing my complete unworthiness to receive it.

Vancouver, BC- When student-athletes reach the end of their U SPORTS careers, some will have professional opportunities, but for many, it is the end of their sporting careers.
After four or five years of university athletics, nearly every athlete will have dedicated their lives to sporting excellence and have built their identity around a ball, puck or racket.
Enter “The Playbook,” a new networking initiative that aims “to help student-athletes grow their professional network, establish a plan they believe in, and gain valuable work experience, all with the intention of finding your identity outside of sports.”
Founded by former student-athletes for current student-athletes, the program offers a never-before-seen support system designed to help student-athletes compete and thrive once their playing days are over.
“There is a gap that exists between the support a student-athlete receives to pursue excellence in their sport as opposed to pursuing excellence in life,” said Briana Wice, Founder of The Playbook, in a press release.
The Playbook will consist of a private LinkedIn group open to all U SPORTS student-athletes, work experience platforms, articles, and a pair of podcasts.
“The Playbooks exists to serve as a hub that will provide inspiration, guidance, and support for student-athletes who want to discover and pursue their potential beyond the realm of sport, in preparation for their life after university athletics.”
‘The Playbook Podcast’ and ‘Safe Space’ will feature university student-athletes who will be interviewed and engaged about their experiences outside of sport and thoughts on representation, being BIPOC, sexism ableism, etc. The Playbook will also feature student-athlete articles with a similar motive.
“The group that has come together to bring this vision to life is extremely impressive,” explained Wice. “However, we aren’t saying ‘be like us.’ Rather we’re saying, ‘let us challenge you and provide you with tools to discover who you are and what drives you; so that student-athletes can begin to leverage all that they are.”
‘The Playbook Podcast’ wil be hosted by former York Lions student-athlete and current McMaster Marauders Sports Information Director, Muad Issa, alongside 2016 OUA Women’s Volleyball Champion Jessie Nairn. Meanwhile, McMaster rugby’s Payton Shank will host ‘Safe Space.’

The unique structure and function of the OptiSun solar collector has been optimized for northern conditions and the solar trajectories.
You can fix the temperature of the hot water boiler with it, and get twice the amount of sun energy than with traditional collectors.
OptiSun hot water boiler is sized based on heat demand. With OptiSun hot water boiler the usage of the collector and heat pump as well as the heat transfer are optimized. In addition, the heat losses are minimized.
Heat energy coming from solar collector and exhaust heat pump is transferred to OptiSun hot water boiler without extra heat exchangers. This reduces heat losses.
The OptiSun hot water boiler is pipe-like tank as high as height of a block house. Most preferably it is located to a warm place, for example in the middle gap of the staircase. That’s the way to minimize counterproductive heat losses.Read more
OptiSun exhaust air heat pump have best coefficient of performance (COP), because it takes heat out from all the year room temperature and constant exhaust air flow.
OptiSun exhaust air heat pump can also be installed to block house property which has gravitational ventilation.
If your block house property has exhaust ventilation and exhaust air fans are in good shape, there is no need to renew them.Read more

Steam Machine (hardware platform)
Steam Machine from Gigabyte Technology next to an early prototype of the Steam Controller.
|Release date||November 10, 2015|
|Introductory price||US$400–$6000 (Steam Controller $49.99; Steam Link $49.99)|
Steam Machine is a line of prebuilt gaming computers designed to operate Valve Corporation's SteamOS through the Steam client. Several computer vendors have been engaged with Valve to develop their own versions of Steam Machines for retail, offering additional options atop Valve's requirements such as dual-booting options with Microsoft Windows and the ability to upgrade the computer.
To support the Steam Machine and SteamOS, Valve released the Steam Controller, a customizable game controller with touchpad-based haptic feedback, and Steam Link, a device that allows consumers with Steam software to stream content to a monitor. Following a two-year testing period, Steam Machines and its related hardware were released on November 10, 2015.
Steam, a large digital store-front for video games supporting many third-party developers and publishers, was developed by Valve Corporation primarily for Microsoft Windows and accounts for an estimated 75% of digitally purchased games on that platform. Valve has indicated displeasure with the approaches that both Microsoft and Apple are taking with their respective operating systems, limiting what applications could be run, and upon the release of Windows 8 in 2012, Valve's CEO Gabe Newell called it "a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space", and discussed the possibility of promoting the open-source operating system Linux that would maintain "the openness of the platform". Newell recognized that games would need to be a significant part of the push for Linux. An official Linux client for Steam was released in July 2012, along with developer tools to help port games to the platform. Valve has since worked to assure that users' game libraries would be portable, including offering Steam Play whereby purchase of a title for one platform automatically allows that user to play the title on other supported platforms, and cross-platform multiplayer features.
Prior to Valve's official announcement of Steam Machines, rumors of Valve's plan to get into the hardware market had developed in the industry throughout 2012, based on aspects such as the emphasis on the Linux operating system and the introduction of features like the 10-foot user interface "Big Picture Mode" for Steam which would be a necessary feature for a video game console. Valve formally announced that it was considering developing a video game console near the end of 2012. Industry journalists tentatively called the hardware a "Steam Box". It would function as a dedicated unit running Steam to allow players to launch games, media, and other functions that the client already provides. The unit's hardware was expected to be tightly controlled in a similar manner to other video game consoles. The software side was expected to remain open; for example, the unit is expected to ship with a Linux operating system, but the user will be able to install Microsoft Windows if they want to.
Gabe Newell explained that Valve's strategy is to develop a single hardware unit themselves as the default model, internally named "Bigfoot", and work with other computer manufacturers who want to offer the same user experience but with different hardware configurations not offered by Valve's model; for example, Valve does not expect to include an optical drive due to size and cost, but this can be a feature offered by a manufacturing partner. He also envisions the software to enable screencast capabilities, allowing the single box to work with any monitor or television within the home. Newell stated that they would also likely develop controllers for the unit that integrate biometrics data from the player and options for gaze tracking, citing that the involuntary responses from the player are more useful than other forms of player input such as motion control. Newell also explained that Valve is also considering the mobile device market in addition to the home console market, specifically considering laptops and tablets with their own hardware nicknamed "Littlefoot". During the Steam Dev Days in January 2014, Valve further explained that the initial target market for Steam Machines is the living room and build a demand for support for Linux versions of games such that they can continue to work away from Windows and OS X operating systems for the future.
At the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, modular computer hardware company Xi3 Corporation introduced a prototype modular PC codenamed "Piston". This unit is one of several possible designs that Valve is looking as the default hardware model for the Steam Box, and is specifically designed to run Steam on Linux and support Big Picture mode. The unit is based on Xi3's "performance level" X7A model and is slightly larger than a human hand, containing various I/O ports to connect to power, video, and data signals. Xi3 began taking pre-orders for the Piston Console at the 2013 South by Southwest Festival in March 2013, anticipating high levels of interest in the hardware with plans to release the unit for general purchase by the end of 2013. Valve has clarified that although they conducted some initial exploratory work with Xi3, they have had no direct involvement with the Piston's specifications, and it is not necessarily representative of the final design for the Steam Box.
Valve officially revealed Steam Machines including the related SteamOS and Steam Controller during the last week of September 2013, with a tentative release date in mid-2014. On December 13, 2013, three hundred beta units of the Steam Machine were shipped to selected beta testers for initial testing. An additional 2000 units were provided to developers attending the Steam Dev Days event in January 2014. Valve also released an early restricted download link for their SteamOS for "Linux hackers" to try out. Based on feedback from these testers, Valve announced in May 2014 that they have pushed back the anticipated release until November 2015. The first set of Steam Machines, Steam Controllers, and Steam Links were available for consumer purchase and delivery starting on November 10, 2015.
Several gaming websites observed that by April 2018, Valve no longer offered links to the Steam Machine section on the Steam storefront, and while it could be gotten to directly via a URL, many of the models previously offered were no longer listed. Valve responded that they recognized that Steam Machines were not selling well and saw little user traffic, prompting them to make the change to the storefront. Valve stated they remained committed to an open gaming platform and will continue to develop the back-end technologies like SteamOS that will help such efforts.
Unlike other gaming consoles, the Steam Machine does not have a specific configuration of hardware, but a minimum specification of computer hardware components that would be needed to support the SteamOS operating system and games developed for it. Valve plans to have several different retail versions of the Steam Machine through various hardware manufacturers, but will also allow users to create their own units from components and or modify retail products with off-the-shelf parts as desired. The units are expected to arrive in 2014, with Valve expecting to announce its partners for this first line at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in early January.
Valve began running a beta-testing program in late 2013, selecting 300 Steam users to test their optimized prototype hardware units and initial versions of the Steam Controllers. The initial prototypes to be sent to testers will have various configurations, and may not be representative of the final Steam Machine specifications. The configurations include:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4770, i5-4570, and i3
- Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan, GTX 780, GTX 760, and GTX 660 with 3 GB GDDR5
- Main RAM: 16 GB DDR3-1600
- Hard drive: 1 TB storage/8 GB SSD cache hybrid drive
- Power: 450 W power supply
- Measurement: 12" × 12.4" × 2.9" high (30.5 cm × 31.5 cm × 7.4 cm)
A core part of the machine configurations was the method of providing ventilation and cooling of the CPU, GPU, and power supply; Valve engineered custom compartments within these beta units so that each of these three units has separate circulation and ventilation routes.
A handheld game console version of the Steam Machine is in development as the "SMACH Z", previously dubbed "Smach Zero" or "Steamboy" by analogy to Nintendo's Game Boy. The SMACH Z was to be released in November 2016 and was to combine a x86 Steam OS architecture based on an AMD G-Series chip with a portable form factor and input elements similar to those of a Steam controller. A Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign was launched in December 2015, and canceled a few days later with a promise of a restart. A new Kickstarter campaign was launched on October 16, 2016, with a much lower goal, and successfully ended with a total of €474,530 one month later. The processor is now to be an AMD Raven Ridge V1605B, and the release date was to be sometime in April 2017. An InDemand indiegogo campaign was launched following the end of the Kickstarter campaign. The SMACH Z has not yet been approved by Valve as an official Steam Machine.
The Steam Controller was released in November 2015. The Steam Controller was designed by Valve not only for games developed for controllers, but also for games traditionally played with keyboard and mouse controls. It features two high-resolution clickable trackpads (replacing the typical thumbsticks on modern console controllers), sixteen buttons, including face, shoulder, and undergrip buttons, and gyroscopic sensors for motion control. The trackpads include haptic feedback, which can send tactile feedback to the player in reaction to events within the game; Chris Kohler of Wired described using the controller while playing Civilization V at a press event at Valve, and noted that as he used the trackpad to move the mouse cursor, electromagnets within the controller created audio and tactile feedback as if he were using a trackball. Although the controller is designed for the Steam Machine platform, it can also be used with Steam on existing PCs.
The controller is designed to be used within Steam's Big Picture mode; this enables the player to access detailed options for setting up the various features of the controller on a per-game basis including button/trackpad mapping and sensitivity, as well as accessing other users' shared controller configuration to use themselves. The Steamworks API provides means for developers to provide more detailed settings for the Steam Controller when in Big Picture mode. Outside of Big Picture mode, the controller otherwise behaves as a standard two-stick controller. Valve has added improvements to the controller's capabilities based on public feedback, which include movement and aiming controls schemes using its internal gyroscope, the ability to trigger actions that enable cursor movement limited to certain regions on a UI (such as to manipulate a game's mini-map), a quick-access popup for 16 commands that can act similar to hotkeys for keyboard-and-mouse games, cloud-based controller configuration saving, and support for non-Steam games that otherwise can be played through the Steam Overlay.
Unlike their current plans to have third-party hardware vendors manufacture Steam Machines, Valve plans to remain the sole manufacturer of the Steam Controller. Valve did clarify that they will open up specifications for third-party controllers to be developed. And in March 2016, Valve released the computer aided design geometry files for the Steam controller, to facilitate hardware modding by end users. As of December 2015[update], Valve is working with Flextronics robotic assembly line in Buffalo Grove, Illinois to assemble the machines; jokingly, the machines have been given Aperture Science branding, the fictional company from Valve's Portal series.
Selected manufacturers showcased prototype units prior to the 2014 CES show. iBuyPower has announced a prototype model which is powered by an AMD CPU with a discrete R9-270 GPU and a 500GB hard drive with a price of $499. Digital Storm has also revealed its higher-end unit utilizing liquid-cooled parts, expected to retail from about $1,500. Other vendors with Steam Machine prototypes include Alienware, Falcon Northwest, CyberPowerPC, Origin PC, Gigabyte, Materiel.net, Webhallen, Alternate, Next, Zotac, Scan Computers, and Maingear, all of whom, except Maingear, showcased their prototypes at the 2014 CES show. The price range of these first machines ranged from $499 to $6,000 based on vendor and specifications.
Alienware announced that they plan to start selling consumer Steam Machines in September 2014. The company currently plans to offer only fixed hardware units that cannot be modified by the user, but plan on offering new configurations on an annual basis. The initial units, called Alpha, will not initially ship with SteamOS, as the operating system will not be ready in time, but will come with Windows 8.1, Steam, and additional features developed in cooperation between Alienware and Valve to allow Steam features like Big Picture Mode to interface with Alienware's hardware. Owners will be able to upgrade their units to SteamOS once it is officially released.
On the official release of Steam Machines in November 2015, both Falcon Northwest and Origin PC opted to not ship a SteamOS-enabled machine in 2015 due to limitations of SteamOS over Windows; Falcon Northwest have said they will still consider shipping machines with SteamOS in the future if performance improves.
Valve has negotiated deals with retail stores GameStop, EB Games and Game to create Steam Sections within the stores where various Steam Machines, the Steam Controller and Link, and pre-paid Steam cards will be sold.
Steam Machines, at minimum, run SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system derived from Debian that expands the current Steam client to add additional functionality such as media sharing, media services, Steam In-Home Streaming, family sharing, and parental controls. The operating system is freely available for any user to install on their own hardware, assuming it meets the system requirements.
Games and applications
Games will be developed to run natively on Linux and SteamOS. Linux compatibility is already a feature offered through the Steamworks application programming interface (API), and according to Paradox Interactive, all of their recent games that have been designed to work with Steam under Linux will also run under SteamOS without additional modifications. Valve will not make games that are exclusive to SteamOS or Steam Machines, and has cautioned third-party developers against making games exclusive to the platform. However, Valve will not stop developers from making SteamOS-exclusive games, particularly those that are best suited for playing from the living room. Players will also be able to stream games from regular PCs running Steam to Steam Machines, allowing access to games that are only available for Windows or OS X. Through SteamPlay, users can play games available on SteamOS that they already own on Windows or OS X and will not need to repurchase the title. Also, games running on a Steam Machine can be streamed to a Steam Link device via a wireless LAN connection.
By June 2016, seven months after the official release, fewer than half a million units had been sold. In response to the sales figures, Ars Technica described the unit as dead on arrival. Valve has yet to release an actual sales figure. While some vendors still offer Steam Machine options, or configurations that can be installed with SteamOS, other vendors have discontinued their products by the end of 2016.
In an article published in July 2017, PC Gamer lists several factors why Steam Machines did not take off as Valve had anticipated. SteamOS itself was not seen as ready for everyday and gaming use in its initial builds and Valve has been unresponsive at times towards Steam Machine makers to release updates, while concurrently, Microsoft had announced its free rollout of Windows 10, making that an incentive over Valve's software. Valve also had delayed the Steam Controller release to 2015, which also subsequently delayed the Steam Machine release. Further, the Steam Machine makers felt that the Steam Link, produced by Valve, competed with concept of Steam Machines and was a much more cost-attractive product. In most cases the Steam Machine vendors simply found that there was not as great a market for the product, since it was trying to bridge consoles and home computers, while they found most consumers would flock to one extreme or the other.

A collection of books that challenge the status quo and inform our debate. They explain the flaws and fallacies of the prevailing system and suggest out-of-the-box alternatives.
In 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the wall of Wittenberg church. He argued that the Church’s internally consistent but absurd doctrines had pickled into a dogmatic structure of untruth. It was time for a Reformation.
Half a millennium later, Steve Keen argues that economics needs its own Reformation. In Debunking Economics, he eviscerated an intellectual church – neoclassical economics – that systematically ignores its own empirical untruths and logical fallacies, and yet is still mysteriously worshipped by its scholarly high priests.
In his book, he presents his Reformation: a New Economics that takes serious issues that today’s economic priesthood ignores, such as money, energy, and ecological sustainability. It gives us hope that we can save our economies from collapse and the planet from ecological catastrophe. Performing this task with his usual panache and wit, Steve Keen’s new book is unmissable to anyone who has noticed that the economics Emperor is naked and would like him to put on some clothes.

You may know that The Beatles recently released their back catalogue on Apple’s iTunes music store recently, apparently it was a big thing. I am not a Beatles fan so I just found it a mild irritant. Robin Goad and the people over at Hitwise found that Facebook was a key driver and sounded surprised that Apple | iTunes was a relatively low search term on Google. So why was this?
- Whilst iTunes has web pages for each track would consumers consider it part of the Googlesphere?
- If you are interested in The Beatles distributing music unless you are a technophile, the band would come first and the channel a distant second when you think about the user context
The Facebook aspect of it reminded me of Starsky & Hutch. Starsky & Hutch was the first television programme I followed avidly, I was allowed to stay up late on a Saturday night to watch it (I was a sucker for the car chases) and spent far too many hours trying to draw Starsky’s custom-painted Ford Torino. I wasn’t a member at the time, but a number of years ago some friends bought me an old Starsky & Hutch Appreciation Fan Club welcome pack. The club apparently also sent out a magazine or newsletter on a regular basis to fans.
Facebook groups and pages are in many respects similar channels of people’s passions today. The key difference is that you don’t see the same kind of creative outputs that say fanzines like Liverpool’s The End or London’s Boy’s Own had; though this may come with time.
I would fully expect traffic for an item that inspires a passion like music to drive traffic from Facebook. Twitter offers little engagement and MySpace is… interesting, particularly in its efforts to regain relevance with audiences. The more interesting aspect of The Beatles on iTunes is whether this is a blip (like the golden age of record companies getting boomers to buy their cherished artists works whom they previously had on vinyl, on compact disc instead); or whether Steve Jobs has found a proverbial gold mine?

About the Khon Kaen, Thailand Program
The Khon Kaen program is a USAC specialty program. Learn more about on-site program elements and the city itself below.
About Khon Kaen
- Population: 1.8 million
- Distance from Bangkok: 280 miles
- Distnace from Chiang Mai: 400 miles
Khon Kaen is located in the heart of Thailand's northeast region, well known for the high quality Mud Mee silk and its hospitality. Khon Kaen is a large and truly local city, not yet discovered by tourists. Due to this the cost of living is low. Khon Kaen is the commercial and political center of Northeastern Thailand, featuring a number of upscale restaurants and hotels, and the largest center of education, healthcare, and technology. It is only an hour flight from Bangkok and Chiang Mai. The local transportation system makes it easy to visit nearby mountainous areas and neighboring countries, such as Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Historically, Khon Kaen is quite a new town, established a little over two centuries ago. However, prehistorically, this town on the plateau has been home to various cultures as well as other fascinating creatures unknown to the modern world (Dinosaurs!). The ancient cultures, traditions, and historical sites in this area have all contributed to shaping the local people and culture.

Tod Seelie is one of those rare photographers who just looks at the world differently. It’s not just about capturing an interesting image. I think it boils down to a unique matter of perspective. He just sees and looks at things differently than the average bear. His portfolio speaks to this rare gift.

Introducing the 8-Box Matrix
We at Qulture.Rocks strongly believe in disproportionately awarding top performers, and dealing fast and objectively with underperformers. But we don’t think the two axes of the 9-Box, a common HR tool, are enough, nor that having so many intermediate boxes helps leaders figure out the wheat from the chaff. That’s why we propose a new tool called the 8-Box Matrix (patent pending) that’ll enable leaders to more accurately understand their talent pool. Voilá!
The 8-Box removes all those in-between categories that do nothing but cloud our judgement, but adds a very important dimension to the matrix, that was lacking in the previous iterations of the tool: Cultural fit. Culture eats strategy for breakfast. And it’s the only sustainable competitive advantage. So why do so many great companies ignore such an important dimension when managing their talent?
Do you feel that a tridimensional matrix is just too much? Then scrap potential, and stick with culture fit. We at Qulture.Rocks also strongly believe that culture is much more important then potential when dealing with your people. So if you have finite dimensions to display your matrix in (ha ha), stick with Performance and Culture.
Why? Two main reasons: first, potential is easier to grasp trough common sense. We tend to have a better feel for the great leaders, since they’re probably already inspiring and motivating their colleagues, and showing themselves. But culture fit can be a poison, that eats your company from the inside, if not dealt with. Finally, some people don’t want to be leaders - and even your company may not be able to house them all -, so stick with your amazing individual contributors, because they work wonders for you.
Why the 8-Box Matrix is relevant?
Because you have only so much in resources to allocate to your talent pool. So make sure that your Blockbusters and Individual Contributors, who show great performance and great cultural fit, are well paid, happy, and will NEVER EVER leave you. These guys should be closely studied, for after them you’ll model your competence signatures, surveys, and interviews, in order to find more and more of them.
And fire the individuals who fare poorly on all three axes. They have nothing to do with your company, and will surely do better somewhere else, where their skills, beliefs, and results will be better employed.
Some background on the 9-Box Matrix
The 9-Box Matrix was born from a joint effort between General Electric and McKinsey & Co, the consulting firm, as a portfolio management tool, to help the conglomerate figure out which business to invest more into, which businesses to sell, and so on (not as a definitive answer, but as a first answer.) It looked liked this:
Although the matrix was developed before Michael Porter’s 5-Forces Model came to being, it can now be understood as an organizing framework with which to sort through analyzes produced under it.
It was years later that someone thought about adapting the 9-Box Matrix to the world of people operations (or human resources, or people and performance):
The HR application of the 9-Box retains its look and its underlying principles, serving as a tool to figure out which employees deserve more money, opportunities, training, and recognition, which ones deserve a nice severance package, and tries to figure out something to be done with those who’re caught stuck in between the two extremes, with some variation of stretch, train, observe, or develop.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) A pastor who once led one of Tulsa's most prominent charismatic churches and served as an adviser to then-President-elect Bush has shut down his church. Bishop Carlton Pearson preached his final sermon at New Dimensions Church on Sept. 7. The church has been folded into All Souls Unitarian Church, the world's largest church in that denomination.
"I wanted a place where my people could find safe harbor," he said. "They're already outcasts in the evangelical-charismatic community.
New Dimensions Church once was known as Higher Dimensions Family Church. Eight years ago, the church had about 6,000 members. The Rev. Pearson then began preaching that all people would go to heaven, a theology he refers to as "the gospel of inclusion." Not long after, evangelical leaders began spurning the Rev. Pearson, the membership in his church renamed New Dimensions Church fell to a few hundred and the church's south Tulsa property was lost in foreclosure. But liberal religious leaders embraced the Rev. Pearson, and New Dimensions Church affiliated with the United Church of Christ, one of the nation's most liberal denominations.

The government could shutdown at any moment, but The Dick Show never will. That’s why you need to dump all your fiat currency and get your greedy, grubby, grabbin-y mitts on the world’s first and only cryptocurrency backed by spicy Tweets and sexy beats, of course I’m talking about Dickels (8=D), the world’s first ever comedy-podcast based cryptocurrency available to Dickheads only in an IDO (Initial Dick Offering–also a first) today! There will only ever be 20 million Dickels mined, so if you’re thinking you might do this when you got home from work, don’t delay or you might miss out. Drop the dicks out of your hands and head over to dickels.lol immediately, but first…
I have discovered the meaning of life in today’s episode. It’s not about finding happiness or love or coming to terms with your place in an unpredictable world, creating resolution in an arc-less mess and accepting the encroaching scope of your impotence in the face of accelerating chaos and cruelty while appreciating your absorption of the will into the collection wisdom. That’s not it. The meaning of life is just about escaping from bastards. Bastards come in all shapes and sizes. They can be any race, they can be any gender, they can be from any background or “socioeconomic group”. Bastards can appear with level of intelligence and at all levels of society, but one thing is certain, they only exist to fuck up your day. That’s why man has always lit out for the territory. That’s why man has sailed the seas, and that’s why we need to get the fuck to Mars, because the world is full of bastards, and they’re not going anywhere. They never do. They never do anything. They just bitch.
In this episode, oddguy (AKA EZ PZ) calls in and talks about his video “The Rise and Fall of Maddox the Loser”. Imagine if Ken Burns made a documentary focusing on all the fuck ups of your life. That is this movie. I’ve watched it several times for 20 million obvious reasons, but I think everyone would enjoy it. Like many have said, Maddox’s rise and ultimate failure is Shakespearean. Oddguy talks about running Encyclopedia Dramatica, the least factual, but most accurate site on the Internet and definitely one of my favorites, dealing with lolsuits of their own, and tells some stories about fellow admins I’m still trying to justify laughing at. Hit oddguy up on Twitter if you want to hear more, or just watch his documentary.
Here is Maddox’s appearance on “The Drunken Peasants”, after which the show was shortly disbanded. I read about some of the fall out and I get the feeling that Goss demons are in the oven cooking up something spicy…
Next, it’s is the ultimate “Dick vs. Dick”, the uncut versions of the argument between Maddox and I on episodes 100 and 101 of The Biggest Problem in the Universe than begins with the joke heard round the world, “No one who anyone respects–like your father or Donald Trump–believes in any of that astrology bullshit.” The argument that was cut from episode 101 has been posted in its entirety and spliced together with the argument from the previous episode. Some people have called it, “the cringiest thing from the entire run of the Biggest Problem”, and it definitely is. Redditor De_Militarized_Zone has done a complete autopsy on the raw audio I posed and the compared to the edited audio that was released for the public.
Listen to the Ultimate Dick vs. Dick train wreck and then read the autopsy. It’s very interesting.
Savestate Corrupted writes and performs “Spirits”, a generic classic rock blues song described by Justin Rupple in Episode 85.
And the prolific, hilarious, and anonymous KenDollinHide sends in “Look Who You Made Me Sue”.

'American Idol' XIII Top 13: Emily Piriz, Caleb Johnson and Jessica Meuse kill itAdd to Favorites | American Idol
The exciting shows are finally here, "American Idol" fans. It's the Top 13 finalists, with a theme of "This Is Me." Could you vague that up for us, "Idol"? That is akin to my all-time favorite theme, the Season 6 episode that was like "Songs Gwen Stefani Has Heard Of (Maybe)."
Just as an FYI, we're not going to recap all the video package shenanigans. Let's get down to business with the performances.
1. Dexter Roberts, "Aw Naw," Chris Young
Terrible song choice. This is a song trying to so hard to be a dirt-kickin' country rock number, but Dexter does not have the swagger to pull that off yet. He's just standing there. His voice isn't bad, but there are a few bum notes and the entire performance lacks energy. He'll stick around, I'm fairly sure, but he's going to have to step that up.
If this is what defines who he is, then he's kind of boring and a mumble-mouth. Heh. Joking aside, that may be who Dexter is, but the performance pizzazz needs work.
2. Malaya Watson, "Runaway Baby," Bruno Mars
Another terrible choice. Bruno Mars pulls this off because he's A) in apparently awesome shape and B) a dynamic dancer. This is not showing off Malaya's voice, but not only that, she can barely keep up with it. She sounds like she is trying to catch a runaway train. Really bad. Apparently Malaya wants us to know that she's ... kind of insane because that performance was all over the place.
3. Kristen O'Connor, "Beautiful Disaster," Kelly Clarkson
Now, Kristen is not Kelly. But at least this song is the type of song she would record. It's a solid choice. She has a beautiful voice, though parts of the song are way out of tune. Harry Connick Jr. always calls out the off-key people and it really must be about them getting used to the live band and the big arena because it's a huge problem with this group and surely they didn't pick so many people who can't stay in tune.
4. Ben Briley, "Folsom Prison Blues," Johnny Cash
OK, now the show can start. Terrific song choice and he does really well with it. He doesn't take the easy way out and slow it way down, plus he doesn't try too hard to be Cash. Briley doesn't have Cash's voice at all, but he's not trying to, so that's OK. He's bringing some real rock feel to it and that's a lot of fun. Nice job, Briley.
5. C.J. Harris, "Radio," Darius Rucker
We can definitely see why C.J. chose Rucker, he's a lot like him vocally. It's a real shame he chose this song and not "Wagon Wheel." That would've been a stronger choice. This one is ... fine. It's OK. It's not knock-your-socks-off good, but it's not bad. It's cute and fun and he sounds alright. But will that be enough to keep him there? Middle-of-the-road performances are sometimes a bigger killer than bad ones.
6. MK Nobilette, "Satisfaction," Allen Stone
Interesting choice. The thing about this song is that we really like it and we really like MK's voice on it, but it's definitely a weird song and more obscure than the other ones and that could hurt her. It's also not a vocalist's song, so it's not showing off her beautiful voice as well as some of her other choices have. She also needs some serious work on her stage presence. Still, we want to hear more from her, so hopefully she sticks around.
7. Majesty Rose, "Tightrope," Janelle Monae
Great choice in terms of what kind of artist she wants to be. She's handling the fast tempo with aplomb and there are still a few moments where she can show off her voice. The ill-fitting, boxy outfit is a miss. But Majesty Rose is still the cutest and that was a lot of fun. My only criticism is her actual line of "tightrope" on the chorus got a little lost, I wish she could've been a little heavier on that one little part.
8. Jena Irene, "The Scientist," Coldplay
This is a nice choice for her voice, but she's horribly flat at the beginning -- it does get better, though. However, the rocker chick vibe of this is actually losing the entire great message of this song. "Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard" is kind of a heartbreaking lyric and she wasn't connecting with the song for us at all. The judges disagree, so maybe it's just us. But we think she could've had more moments with this song.
Do you remember when Katelyn Epperly did this song in the Top 24 a few years ago? That was awesome. I'm still mad she got voted off before the Top 13. Her and Lilly Scott. Bah.
9. Alex Preston, "A Beautiful Mess," Jason Mraz
Mraz is a great choice for him and it's nice to hear him start so quietly and build, plus the emotional connection is good. The last note is a little rough, but overall, pretty solid. Love the stripped-down feel to it.
10. Jessica Meuse, "The Crow and the Butterfly," Shinedown
Huh. I cannot figure this girl out. Is she rock? Is she country? It's not that you can't be lots of things but ... it's interesting how varied her voice sounds, if that makes sense. This was a cool choice. You know who I'd like to hear her sing? Stevie Nicks. "Edge of Seventeen," "Rhiannon," "Landslide," they could all be great. Really liked it, despite the confusion about exactly what Meuse is. Ain't no big thang, we don't need to know.
11. Emily Piriz, "Glitter in the Air," Pink
Very pretty choice. The quiet beginning is beautiful and well-supported, and Emily clearly knows how to work the camera, she's magnetic on stage. Then she builds to the big crescendo, it's really nice. Maybe our favorite on the night.
12. Sam Woolf, "Unwell," Matchbox 20
This is a good pick for Sam's voice, though he needs to angst it up a bit. Thomas sings this song like his guts are being ripped out and Sam is singing this like he's at his junior high talent show. Give us some grit, kiddo. He's also a little out of tune at moments. But he's safe, because this isn't a trainwreck and he's cute. But yeah, show us your emotions, Sam. Dig in a little.
13. Caleb Johnson, "Pressure and Time," Rival Sons
Awesome choice, even if we aren't familiar with this song. He's really showing off his chops while still getting to be rock 'n roll. Those things don't always go together. You know, if he ever had to do a ballad, Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love" would be good for him. Anyway, this is a lot of fun. Caleb's great, can't wait to hear more from him.
Other than Woolf needing to be a little dirtier, the second half of the show really trumped the first half. The final group of singers was really strong.
Who's going home? Dexter and Malaya were the weakest for us, with Kristen and C.J. ending up being near the bottom too after everybody had performed. Hmm. We actually found Malaya to be the absolute bottom tonight. What do you think, fans?

…or in this case, The Book of Numbers
I’m breaking our 12-month rule here, only because I used this approach with a young woman on Friday and realized that I wanted to share this again on the blog and didn’t want to wait until October.
← ← Could you retell this Bible story?
That was the question we asked yesterday, noting that most adults would have difficulty presenting this off the top of their heads, to either another adult or a child, which is unfortunate because it is many ways key to telling the gospel story. Because I think it’s so important, we’re devoting this weekend to looking at this from different perspectives using a mix of fresh commentary and some things that were originally posted at Christianity 201.
…and the transaction so quickly was made, when at the cross I believed…
~lyrics, “Heaven Came Down”
Yesterday we kicked off with the old hymn “At Calvary” and today it’s “Heaven Came Down.” I’ve noticed that when people get older they mind starts to recall classic pieces that are no longer sung in the modern church.
The moment of salvation is an invisible transaction. For some people there is an inward witness that verifies that step of faith.
24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
But for some people, there is a desire to understand the underpinning of how that invisible transaction takes place. An entire branch of theology is devoted to this:
— the doctrine of salvation through Jesus Christ.
So while the healing of the blind man provides its own satisfactory proof if you are, in fact, the blind man or his parents; for everyone else we have the books of Romans and Hebrews to understand the depth of salvation doctrine.
But we often miss a basic fact of how salvation works:
(NIV) Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up…
The verse recalls the story from the book of Numbers we looked at yesterday, often overlooked in times of increasing Biblical illiteracy:
(NIV) 7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.
The concept of the invisible transaction was once entrenched through yet another hymn written by William Ogden in 1887 that was popular in some circles, the chorus inviting you to...
“Look and live,” my brother, live,
Look to Jesus now, and live;
’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”
It’s interesting how the Numbers 21 story is so prominent in the lines of that chorus, but do we have anything in modern worship to replace that? Does our vertical worship allow room to take these Bible narratives and recite them in song?
Youth ministries in the late 1960’s borrowed a phrase from a popular Clairol commercial and suggested that the invisibility of the transaction was such that “only your hairdresser knows for sure.” In other words, there isn’t necessarily a physical manifestation of salvation.
But as with so many things in God’s kingdom, there is a balance to be found on that issue, since the visible manifestation of salvation ought to be the presence of the fruit of the spirit.
I also recognize that many are uncomfortable with a transactional view of the regeneration of the Spirit at salvation. I think sometimes we can suffer from what is called the paralysis of analysis. Perhaps a more modern — albeit still about 40 years old — scripture chorus can help us:
He paid a debt he didn’t owe
I owed a debt I couldn’t pay
I needed someone to wash my sins away
And now I sing a brand new song
Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay.
Ultimately, the invisibility of the salvation transaction ought to be central if putting our trust in Jesus Christ to both redeem us and then from that point guide us is to be considered part of the realm of faith. You don’t get a certificate, or a wallet card — though sadly, some churches do just that — when you decide to become a Christ follower.
We cross the line of faith to become Christ followers at some point, but the line itself remains seen only in the spiritual world. That moment of salvation can happen in an instant, what is sometimes termed the crisis view of salvation, or it can take place over a time, what C.S. Lewis and others might call the process view of salvation.
I don’t know that it’s necessary for everyone to have an exact date that they can point to (or have written in the front cover of their Bibles) when they crossed that line of faith, but I think you know in your heart when you’ve arrived at that point.
To repeat what we said yesterday, the people in the Numbers 21 story didn’t have to do anything beyond simply looking to the cross for their deliverance. That’s the part of the story you need to be able to impart to people who want to determine their next step on their journey to the cross, even if you don’t spell out the whole story itself.

Gone but not forgotten: Karl Rove's legacy of using the powers of government for political gain is presumably alive and well. (AP)
How far will Bush loyalists go to help McCain win?
ASK THIS | June 12, 2008
For administration officials trying to avoid a rollback, the best way, of course, would be to get a Republican elected president. Are they already aiming grants, announcements and visits at swing states? Last in a five-part series on questions for the twilight of the Bush era.
By Dan Froomkin
There are lots of ways that President Bush and his loyalists can entrench their people and policies in such a way that a Democratic president won’t find it so easy to reverse course. I’ve examined some of those in the first four parts of this series.
In part one, I focused on Iraq, Iran and the military; in part two, I examined ways Bushies could burrow into the federal agencies; in part three, I looked at the possible effect of pardons and judicial appointments; in part four, I suggested a closer look at what Vice President Cheney is up to.
But let’s not forget the obvious: The best shot Bush loyalists have at averting a rollback is getting John McCain – and as many congressional Republicans as possible -- elected in November. Despite some divergence on issues like global warming and Guantanamo, McCain is in lockstep with Bush on most major issues including Iraq, tax cuts and health care. Furthermore, he’s much less likely to air Bush’s dirty laundry.
Q. How far are Bush aides going to using their executive branch powers to help Republicans in November?
We can reasonably expect the Karl Rove-trained political appointees throughout government to be coordinating and staging official announcements, high-visibility trips and declarations of federal grants in a way that helps McCain and the GOP as much or more than legally possible.
For a refresher on how Rove did this in 2004, study How Rove Directed Federal Assets for GOP Gain, Washington Post, Aug. 19, 2007:
The staging of official announcements, high-visibility trips and declarations of federal grants had to be carefully coordinated with the White House political affairs office to ensure the maximum promotion of Bush's reelection agenda and the Republicans in Congress who supported him, according to documents and some of those involved in the effort….
To lead the charge, Rove had his "asset deployment team." It comprised the chief White House liaison official at each Cabinet agency. The team members met -- sometimes as often as once a month -- to coordinate the travel of Cabinet secretaries and senior agency officials, the announcement of grant money, and personnel and policy decisions. Occasionally, the attendees got updates on election strategies.…
[A]dministration officials said .. the essence of Rove's approach [consisted of] making sure that political appointees at every level of government pushed a uniform agenda in key media markets and on behalf of White House-backed candidates. That meant resisting the natural tendencies of the federal bureaucracy to cater just to congressional purse-string holders, officials said.…
The White House briefings also frequently identified key media markets where Republicans most wanted their message out. A Post review of trips announced by several Bush Cabinet members during the 2004 election showed that their travel fell neatly into the markets listed on a slide included in briefings that year.
Another way to help Republicans win in November would be to make it harder to vote. Establishing barriers to voting, such as the Indiana Voter ID law recently upheld by the Supreme Court, disproportionately affects Democratic voting blocs, such as minorities and the elderly. Rampant voter fraud, the ostensible motivation of those who favor restrictive voting rules, has repeatedly been proven to be a myth.
Q. In the run-up to the election, what kinds of cases are being pursued by the Voting Section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division? Is the section trying to make it easier or harder for people to vote? Is it pursuing voting rights cases or voter fraud cases? Is the White House pushing states to tighten their voter identification policies or purge their voter rolls?
Entrenchment, the Series:
Part One: Do we really expect the Bushies to go quietly?
Part Two: Midnight rulemaking, last-minute hires and executive fiats
Part Three: The time for a national conversation on pardons is before, not after, they're granted
Part Four: What's the vice president up to these days?
Part Five: How far will Bush loyalists go to help McCain win?

Perhaps it's relevant that Field also sees global warming as a good thing. Field is listed on the Global Warming Petition Project calling for the U.S. to reject international global warming agreements, while claiming there is “no convincing evidence” that manmade greenhouse gases will disrupt the earth’s climate. On the contrary, the petition cites “substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.”
Field’s support of this global warming refutation was reported in Metroland by Robert H. Boyle, a journalist and activist who criticized Field and his agency for being an industry booster. The article, Field of Distortions, was co-authored by Bruce Ferguson. Given that it lacked comment from Field, I was curious to hear directly from the man who heads the agency that will be in charge of permitting and enforcing shale gas development in New York. I had spoken with Field when I was a reporter for the Press & Sun Bulletin in 2010. At that time, he was defending his agency against assertions by Walter Hang, an activist and head of Toxic Targeting, a firm specializing in documenting pollution. Hang uncovered hundreds of unresolved cases of spills and accidents related to drilling in New York state, contrary to the Mineral Resources Divison’s claim that the state’s record was characterized by “a lack of contamination events” from natural gas development. (More on that further down…) Field, however, is no longer talking to the media, as far as I can tell, and this week he declined an interview with me. I learned from Emily DeSantis, the DEC spokeswoman speaking on Field’s behalf, that “If Mr. Field did sign such a petition, it was in a personal capacity and had no bearings on his professional duties.”
Many will argue, to the contrary, that certain flags go up when a public official who plays a critical role in developing policy on the future of petroleum extraction embraces an ideologically loaded position such as global warming denial. Questions about Field’s pro-industry stance on global warming come as the DEC faces accusations from environmental activists that the agency gave the natural gas industry exclusive and unfair access to draft drilling regulations up to six weeks before they were released to the public or to any other stakeholders. Gas industry representatives purportedly took advantage of this inside information by lobbying to minimize reporting requirements designed to regulate toxic and radioactive runoff from drilling sites. These allegations and other issues will be the focus of a Senate Democratic Conference forum July 18 in New York City, spearheaded by Senator Tony Avella and other elected officials calling for stricter scrutiny of the DEC’s relationship with the oil and gas industry.
So is Bradley J. Field -- the person in charge of overseeing and enforcing a new and unprecedented era of on-shore drilling in New York State -- a climate change denier? And if so, how much does this matter? I asked DeSantis to ask Field directly if he signed the Global Warming Petition Project in a “personal capacity” as to clear the air. “I did,” she replied: “He does not recall.”
Which brings us to why this matters. The response is exactly the kind of equivocation that has characterized Field’s approach to handling the debate over the merits and risks of shale gas development from the beginning. The agency’s position of record, articulated by Field’s staff at public meetings held throughout the state in the advent of the shale gas development in 2008, is neatly summarized in the following memo to Tom Wilinsky, a resident of Sullivan County. Wilinsky wrote to the department, inquiring about necessary steps to ensure that fracking is done safely. This was in May, 2008, long before any policy had been developed or even proposed to handle shale gas development. Wilinsky received this reply:
Oil and Gas development has been taking place in our state since the 1800s. Laws and regulations have been in place to regulate the industry so that property ground water resources are protected. Casing programs are designed to isolate the shallow drinking water from the deeper formations that may be fraced [sic]. The Marcellus Shale is approximately 6,000 feet in Sullivan County, over one mile deeper than drinking water zones. Industry has used horizontal well drilling in New York since the late 1980s. Hydraulic fracturing has been commonly and safely used in New York state for decades. Marcellus Shale fracing operations use fresh water, sand, nitrogen and a diluted soapy solution to fracture the shale. These frac [sic] fluids do not contain benzene, toluene or xylene … The industry is regulated, and the lack of contamination events is evidence that the laws and rules are effectively protecting the environment.The memo echoes reassurances made by longtime Mineral Resources staffers Jack Dahl and Linda Colhart (documented in pages 64-67 of Under the Surface, Fracking, Fortunes and the Fate of the Marcellus Shale) at town forums when residents were first learning they were sitting over one of the largest natural gas fields in the world, and companies were ready to pay big money for the rights to develop it. The prevailing message -- don’t worry, we have it covered -- raises the question: Is this a sufficient level of vigilance from an agency responsible for overseeing the world’s most powerful industry, setting up shop on millions of acres of other people’s land, and exempt from federal and state disclosure and hazardous waste laws?
Contrary to Field’s reassurances, we now know operators have never used fracking with horizontal drilling in New York state, nor have they ever developed shale gas reserves in New York state; fracking employs hundreds of toxic and caustic agents; cement casings fail at least 6 percent of the time and more as they age. Many of these revelations came to light in the public critique of a review of the environmental impacts of shale gas development ordered by Governor David Paterson in 2008. The 1,500-page document, called the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS), gives an assessment of environmental risks (mandated by the governor’s order) of high volume hydraulic fracking that was absent in earlier public presentations by Mineral Resources staff. These risks include depletion of water resources, water pollution from spills, and hazards related to methane migration – caused when drilling opens new pathways for natural gas to move through the ground into enclosed spaces and water wells. Permitting guidelines will be based on this review, which fell by natural selection to the DEC’s Mineral Resources Division. The SGEIS is now under its third draft after a series of intensive public hearings drew more than 70,000 comments critiquing earlier versions that were generally praised by the industry but deemed too weak by critics. The next and final version of the document is expected this summer.
It’s true that New York state operators have used fracking to develop conventional wells – a minor undertaking in terms of scope and impact compared to shale gas development. But even here there are all sorts of inconsistencies between the Mineral Resources Division’s position and the record. There are instances where conventional drilling has caused water pollution, but these are obscured by lack of reporting requirements and enforcement. When claims of water contamination are reported, the DEC Mineral Resources Division, the lead investigative agency, often leaves it up to the industry to settle with property owners who face a high burden of proof and experienced industry legal teams. Such was the case with Dave Eddy, who lived with his wife and two small children in Allegany County, near a non-Marcellus drilling operation by U.S. Energy Development Corporation. When workers began fracking the well in 2009, the Eddy’s bath faucet, which at the time was filling the tub for the kids, produced a foamy, chocolate-brown stream. Testing by the company found the well was polluted with petroleum, according to a letter to the DEC from Jerry Jones, operations manager at U.S. Energy. The company subsequently installed a filter on the home, put the family up in a hotel and offered compensation for the pollution, the letter states. It was the beginning of a protracted and frustrating legal battle with the company.
Some of these cases were picked up by local health officials frustrated with the DEC’s denial of problems. As previously reported in this blog, William T. Boria, a water resources specialist at the Chautauqua County Health Department, tracked more than 140 complaints related to water pollution or gas migration associated with a boom in nearby conventional drilling operations (prior to shale gas development). In a 2004 memo summarizing the issue, he concluded “Those complaints that were recorded are probably just a fraction of the actual problems that occurred.” County health officials tabulated information on 53 of the cases from 1983 to 2008 on a spreadsheet, including methane migration, brine pollution, and at least one in which a home had to be evacuated after the water well exploded. “A representative I spoke with from the Division of Minerals (of the DEC) insists that the potential for drinking water contamination by oil and gas drilling is almost non-existent,” Boria wrote in his memo to a party whose name was redacted. “However, this department has investigated numerous complaints of potential contamination problems resulting from oil and gas drilling.”
The lack of accountability has caused nagging public relations problems for the industry and those who oversee it, not just in New York. Tom Ridge, the former Pennsylvania governor, national homeland security director, and paid industry spokesman, told AP reporter Michael Rubinkam last year that energy companies need to do a better job reassuring citizens that they take environmental protection seriously, in Ridge’s words “…. to be concerned about their public image and … to understand what they need to do to improve it."
This very issue came up last week in a post by blogger Andrew Revkin, of New York Times Dot Earth. The post featured the perspective of Auden Schendler, who is vice president of sustainability at the Aspen Skiing Company and author of Getting Green Done: Hard Truths from the Front Lines of the Sustainability Revolution. In Revkin’s post, Schendler reported on many things – namely a project to capture methane waste from a coalmine to power the ski resort. But he had this to say about fracking.
I was at a conference of oil and gas folks, and they said something interesting: “When people started talking about fracking affecting groundwater, we just laughed it off because it’s physically impossible and absurd. And that was a mistake–what happened is that we lost control of the message. We should have said: ‘there are lots of concerns related to the fracking process, air quality, water use, and other issues, and we need to take those seriously. Here’s how..’”
So when will the industry regain control of the message? The discussion now seems stuck on something people like to refer as “nonpartisan science” – which more often than not when used by industry and politicians is code for scientific analysis that supports certain views over others. The fracking debate has become loaded with this kind of science, a fact that shows us, perhaps more than anything, that shale gas development has not been around long enough to generate much in the way of a conclusive body of knowledge and scientific consensus regarding its long-term health and environmental impacts. (Here for example, are opposing studies regarding the global warming effects of shale gas development, one by Robert Howarth and one by Lawrence M. Cathles.) These early studies, in truth, mark the beginning of a long and necessary scientific inquiry. In the meantime, it’s way too early for people to begin closing their minds.
So is Bradley Field, the petroleum engineer and drilling proponent who can’t remember if he is a climate change denier; the holder of a singularly influential position to determine the outcome of shale gas development in New York state as the issuer of permits and the overseer of regulations -- Is this Bradley Field nonpartisan? It’s a relevant question. Elected officials come and go. (Field has already served under five governors.) The policy being derived under Field’s long and unchallenged tenure with the DEC will be enduring.
Correction: The original version of this post inoorrectly cited authorship of the Metroland article, Field of Distortions, to William Boyle.

Walter Molino was an Italian illustrator and cartoon artist from the mid-20th century. His fame grew when he began to work for La Domenica del Corriere, the Sunday magazine of the newspaper Corriere della Sera. The tragic tone and compositional dynamism he put into play when illustrating the week’s news turned the magazine into a prized collector’s item.

Sixteen-month-old Elizabeth Fanning lies listlessly in her mother’s arms. Anxiously, drawn-faced Mrs. Fanning coaxes her child to take even a spoonful of the liver soup recommended by doctors. But although Elizabeth’s swollen belly and twiglike limbs make her look like a starvation victim, the lethargic baby has no interest in food of any kind. Little Betsy, as her parents call her, has a fatal disease in 1940: the blood cancer known as leukemia. What makes her case especially tragic is that the illness may be the result of new medical technology. Born in August 1938, Elizabeth appeared normal. But, three or four days later, a thick red growth appeared on her cheek, while a red birthmark marred the child’s neck. To stop the growth and prevent the spread of the unsightly birthmark, a series of radium treatments were given. The cheek growth disappeared, and the birthmark’s spread was halted. But after this “success” the child simply stopped growing normally. She seemed lifeless. Even her hair drooped and grew no more.
A specialist’s deadly diagnosis was only confirmed by a trip from the Fannings’ Dearborn, Michigan home to Minnesota’s renowned Mayo Clinic. The baby’s spleen should be removed, all doctors consulted agree, but the Mayo physicians in Rochester warn that the baby is already too weak to live through such an operation.
The rich nutrition of liver soup may buy a little time, but the doctors all warn Mrs. Fanning there can be but one outcome to childhood leukemia. The mother must prepare herself that she may simply find the child dead in her crib at any time. So sure is Elizabeth’s death that her doctors in Dearborn waive any further fees.
Then Mrs. Fanning’s aunt, who belongs to a spiritual group affiliated with St. Bonaventure’s Franciscan Capuchin monastery in Detroit suggests little Betsy be taken to a lively, seventy-year-old priest there called Fr. Solanus Casey.
“He’s a saint, and he heals people all the time,” Mr. and Mrs. Fanning are told. With no earthly possibility for their dying daughter’s recovery, the Fannings drive to Detroit. They carry the child, who at a year and a half cannot walk, up to the door of St. Bonaventure’s.
The Franciscan who greets them so warmly wears the Capuchin brown robe, its pointed hood thrown back on his skinny shoulders. In spite of his untrimmed white beard, the old priest has the shining face of a happy child, his blue eyes as innocent as their baby’s.
As he listens to their personal tragedy, Fr. Solanus’s face radiates loving compassion. In spite of the many other sufferers waiting to speak with him, the Fannings sense that he is totally — and peacefully — at their disposal. The only thing, he assures them, that can stop the power of God at work in our lives is our own doubt and fear. He urges the parents to make concrete acts that will foster their confidence in God’s goodness. Let them try to overcome their sadness and anxiety, which “frustrates God’s merciful designs.” He even recommends they thank God now for what He will do in the future, whatever that may be. This kind of confidence in God “puts Him on the spot,” he explains with a grin. He tells them of some healings he has witnessed, cases just as “hopeless” as their daughter’s. The Fannings enroll Betsy in the Capuchin Order’s Seraphic Mass Association to benefit from hundreds of Mass prayers with a donation to the missions. Each also makes a personal promise to God of a spiritual nature.
Now, in his unusually high-pitched yet whisper-soft voice (the leftover, it is believed, of childhood diphtheria, which killed two of his sisters), Fr. Solanus talks to listless Elizabeth for a few minutes. Then he says matter-of-factly, “You’re going to be all right, Elizabeth.” Ignoring her skeletal appendages and distended stomach, he hands her a piece of candy as if the child he sees is well.
Elizabeth Fanning has been leukemic almost her entire short life. She has never done the things babies do, any more than she has ever attained the rosy looks of normal babyhood. But as her parents begin the drive home to Dearborn, Elizabeth has a new alertness. For the first time in her life, she watches everything with interest. She smiles. She sits up.
Her parents are startled, almost shocked, but are so happy at the sudden, inexplicable change that they stop at a restaurant “to celebrate.” Mrs. Fanning says: “The place was crowded — and Betsy — who only an hour before had been lying in my arms as limp as a rag doll — immediately became the “life of the party.” She waved to the people about us, jumping up and down. She was full of life.”
Soon she was walking. In the late 1960s, when Betsy’s mother was interviewed by James Patrick Derum for his book on Fr. Solanus, The Porter of Saint Bonaventure’s, Mrs. Fanning recalled: ”When I brought her back to the doctors, they were incredulous. She looked so different — healthy, lively, and her once wispy, lifeless hair was now curly.”
“That’s not Betsy!” they exclaimed.
But it was. While childhood leukemia remained a fatal disease for many years after 1940, little Betsy Fanning simply didn’t have it anymore after visiting Fr. Solanus Casey.
“You’ll be all right,” the Capuchin priest had said simply. Betsy was no isolated instance of his prophecy proving correct. For half a century, Fr. Solanus’s gift of healing was so great that, beginning in November 1923, when he was stationed at Our Lady Queen of Angels Monastery in Harlem, New York, his superiors asked him to keep a notebook of prayer requests and answers. Always obedient, he tried. But “the holy priest,” as people referred to him even in his first priestly assignment at Sacred Heart Monastery in Yonkers, New York, in 1904, had so many demands for prayers, it proved impossible to record them all, even in his eighteen- or nineteen-hour days. This became clear after his death, when scores of people were interviewed regarding physical cures and other favors they said they received after Fr. Solanus had enrolled them in the Seraphic Mass Association, the organization that combined mutual prayer support, including prayers and remembrances at Mass by all the Capuchins, with aid to the missions. Even the six thousand notes from just his twenty-one years at St. Bonaventure’s must be only a fraction of the Detroit total, since only a few of the cures that interviewers found in that city had been recorded.
About one in ten of these notes has a follow-up entry. Many of the healed either never took the trouble to come back and report or Fr. Solanus never got around to entering their statements. Known cures, whether logged or not, include everything from cancer to heart disease, from deafness to diabetes, from polio to bone disease, from broken backs to infertility.
Modesty wouldn’t have prevented recording any cures.
“If people were cured before his very eyes,” according to a Capuchin quoted by Derum, Fr. Solanus’s eyes “would fill with tears, and he would seem utterly amazed at the power of the Mass . . . [in his mind] their cure had no connection with him. . . .”
Few dreamed that the thousands of physical cures, changes of heart, and other graces God gave through Fr. Solanus Casey, like a great tree from a tiny seed, had all grown from one act of blind trust in God made by the young Casey as a seminarian.
Born in Prescott, Wisconsin, on November 25, 1870, Bernard Casey, Jr., as Solanus was christened, was the sixth of sixteen handsome, sturdy, well-liked children born to Irish immigrants. His mother’s brother a Wisconsin priest, his father’s brother a Boston judge, the Caseys were an intelligent family of prosperous farmers. They raised their large brood in an atmosphere combining care and firm discipline with Irish folk songs, daily family prayer and spiritual reading, and good American and Irish literature read aloud by the father on cozy family evenings.
If Barney grew up caring and well balanced, he felt it was because he had an idyllic childhood, whether as part of the baseball team made up of nine Casey brothers or reveling in the beautiful Wisconsin fields and waterways. At eighteen, after two years of a happy relationship, he proposed marriage to a girl a year younger whose mother promptly sent the intended bride away to boarding school. He kept dating, but his main energy seems to have veered away from marriage. After diverse jobs, including prison guard (typically he made friends with various prisoners), the devout young man made up his mind he was called to serve God as a priest. At twenty-six he entered the local diocesan seminary but failed there, because it was run by Germans in German and Latin. As they showed him the door, the seminary heads encouraged Barney to enter a religious order instead. Making a novena for guidance, he heard an unforgettable voice direct, “Go to Detroit” and found himself in a Capuchin seminary where the courses were again taught in German and Latin.
Because of his spirituality, the Capuchins were not about to let him go — in fact, one superior predicted even then that Casey would be an American Curé d’Ars — but neither did they want a priest who hadn’t mastered all the theological nuances taught in their academic courses. Solanus, as they had renamed him, was asked in 1901 to sign a statement, the crucial segment of which translates from German as: “Since I do not know whether as a result of my meager talents and defective studies I am fit to assume the many-sided duties and serious responsibilities of the priesthood, I hereby declare that I do not want to become a priest if my legitimate superiors consider me unqualified.”
Had pride or self-will reared its head, Solanus’s whole future ministry would have been aborted. As it was, however hurt and baffled the intelligent and hardworking young man may have felt — something he never discussed — he made a heroic act of trust in God, who, he believed with all his heart, had brought him to this German immigrant-founded institution.
To his great joy, he was ordained in 1904, but to his humiliation he was made a priest simplex, that is, a priest who could say Mass, but “doesn’t know enough” to hear confessions or preach. Again, enormous temptation to despair, to anger, to self-pity, to depression, to every kind of negative response. Instead Solanus, in his thirty-fourth year, made the response of a person at least close to holiness: he accepted what would be a lifelong humiliation and prayed week after week, month after month, until he could actually thank God for apparently making him so ineffectual a priest that his superiors were hard put to find anything for him to do except manage the altar boys and answer the door as a porter.
A fellow Capuchin who knew him has remarked that it was through his ever more spiritualized and finally joy-filled response to this humiliation that Solanus Casey became holy. As the years passed, it also became clear that the apparent blight on Solanus’s life of being a simplex priest was actually part of God’s wonderful design, for it was through the Capuchin’s assignments as porter in New York, Detroit, and Indiana that God carried out the immense ministry he entrusted to the man judged “too dumb” to be a full priest.
Although his whole ministry grew out of Casey’s heroic surrender to God’s designs, the young Capuchin was not born a saint, but a red-blooded American with normal human feelings and weaknesses. He had a rebel streak and tendencies to independence and individualism that had to be sublimated to living in community. Capuchin Michael H. Crosby, in his study Thank God Ahead of Time: The Life and Spirituality of Solanus Casey, also notes that throughout his life the emotional Casey would “battle with feelings that could easily get expressed in anger, intolerance and excessive concern over little things.” A kind of perfectionism had to be softened to keep him from excessive rigidity or anxious scrupulosity. An impulsive person who tended to act first, think later, with his idealism, emotionalism, and perfectionism, he had a tendency when young to criticize others, if only to himself. Yet, as is so often the case with this type of personality, he himself was sensitive to criticism and liked compliments.
Since he was always a well-liked, well-adjusted, “people” person, one can see that these human frailties were not extreme; still they had to be worked through — a matter of years, not one or two good resolutions — for Solanus to find that union with God and charity toward all from which miracles spring. Single-minded and perseveringly in love with God, Solanus grew ever more aware that, however “together” or even holy he appeared to others, he had his own imperfections and needed never-ending healing himself.
It was this knowledge of himself as one who needs conversion that gave Solanus compassion for others. His awareness of his human status as a sinner kept him safely anchored in humility, while his experience of God’s grace in his weakness continually deepened his trust in God so that by his later years Solanus was “uniquely unshaken by doubt, anxiety, or fear,” says Crosby.

GRANDVILLE, Mich. — Two groups are planning to be present at a planned rally at the office of Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI 2nd District) in Grandville at 11 a.m. Thursday. They seek to have the $600/week unemployment benefit to be extended; it expires July 31.
IATSE Local 26, which represents stage hands and other entertainment technicians and artists in West Michigan, is supporting the HEROES Act, which includes the extension. The union says nearly 100 percent of its members are out of work.
The HEROES Act has been passed by the House but has not seen action in the Senate.
Michigan United, a group that address issues connected to immigration, the environment, and mass incarceration, is also planning to join the rally. The group has said in a release that similar rallies are planned near the home of Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI 4th District), outside the Detroit office of Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), and at the Shelby Township office of Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-MI 10th District).

Distribution of some Heavy Metals Pollution Caused byAl- Daura Refinery in the Surrounding Region
Engineering and Technology Journal,
2013, Volume 31, Issue 20, Pages 422-434
AbstractDue to the higher increase in the oil industry activities in Iraq, since there are a little information of the environmental status of the areas around the refinery locations, and the concerns of a possible environmental pollution that will cause health and life threats to living organisms, this study was carried out.To understand the status of heavy metals pollution in areas inside and surrounding Al-Daura refinery activities, (17) testing locations were chosen, ten locationsoutsidethe refinery and sevenlocationsinside it.One additional location was chosen in a rural (control) area, in the University of Baghdad, to compare between the heavy metals concentration in the study area and a sample from the rural area not affected by the pollution. The soil samples have been taken from (5 and 60 cm) depth from the top surface of the soil. Three samples were taken from each depth for each location to take an average of results.All the samples of soil were taken during the period from Dec/2010 to Feb/2011.The experimental work has been includes the heavy metals concentrations, such as Zinc, Nickel, Lead and Cadmium, have been measured at each selected depth for each testing locations.The results indicate that the mean concentration of Zn and Ni is (62.4 µg/g) and (100.5 µg/g) respectively and this valuesexceeded the mean allowable value by (Alloway, 1995 ; Kabata-Pendias and Pendias, 1992 ).The most concentrations of Zn, Ni and Pb, with some exceptions, accumulate at the top soil and decrease with the depth except Cd.

Find the satisfaction
(Image from the Internet).
A couple of weeks ago I moderated a career panel in Boston at Massachusetts College of Art, for the Fine Arts 2D department where I teach a course for graduating seniors. My colleagues, Laurel Sparks, Randy Garber, Ted Mineo and department chair Jim Cambronne, were on the panel. Our topic was "Behind the Scenes of an Art Career," a chance for the students to get a sense of what it has been like for five working artists--that would be us--to build and sustain our careers as painters. We talked about the jobs we've had, lucky breaks that helped us along, the rejections we've dealt with, and the fact that no matter where you are in your career, you still want more.
It's OK to want more. That's part of setting goals and working hard. You know how it is: All you want is to get into a juried show. Then all you want is to get into a gallery. Then have a solo at the gallery representing you. But we also need to develop the capacity to appreciate what we have achieved. Without that appreciation, you get trapped in what Ted called "the Russian nesting dolls of disapoinment."
That's when it's not enough to get the solo, but to have it when the new season opens in September. Not enough to have the September slot but get a full-page ad in Art in America. Not enough to have the September show and the ad but a review followed by a cover story in the magazine. And so it goes all the way up the line. Not enough to make the sale, but the sale to a particular collector or museum. These are all great things, of course, but where's the line between wanting more and being at least reasonably satisfied (possibly even grateful) with what you have achieved? Seems crazy, but there are artists unhappy with their solo at MoMA because it's not in the particular gallery they wanted, which another well-known artist had, or their catalog is not as big as that of another artist who'd shown there.
Jackie Battenfield, an artist and author of The Artist's Guide: How To Make A Living Doing What You Love, calls this kind of thinking "Compare and Despair." And it happens at every level.
Over to you: Can you be happy with what you have achieved and still retain a hunger that has you working for more? Or does every achievement lead to a disappointment?

In the annals of piratical history, the name of William Kidd is prominent next to those of Edward Teach and Anne Bonney. In this excellent piece of investigative history, Richard Zacks makes it clear that, for all his faults, Captain Kidd got a bad rap, whereas a contemporary who was an unrepentant gangster of the high seas thrived.
Hired by four British noblemen at the instigation of a hustler named Robert Livingston to sail to the Indian Ocean to hunt pirates, Kidd wasn’t even out of the Atlantic before he ran afoul of one of the worst examples of a British naval officer, who promptly (and with the eager support of the East India Company) declared him a pirate. When, months later, Kidd’s crew mutinied and joined the aforementioned unrepentant gangster for a real campaign of piracy, Kidd’s subsequent actions to survive were interpreted by everyone in authority as further evidence of his crimes.
Mr. Zacks has a thorough grasp of both the history and the cultures in which his vindication of William Kidd takes place, referring to it in one instance as “a time of much religion and little charity.” He describes the world in which social position and money were as great an advantage as they are today with detail that is at once excruciating and as fascinating as the proverbial train wreck.
That Kidd’s story could be said to parallel that of any number of possibly innocent men currently held in our own prison at Guantanamo is telling. Held incommunicado, the proof of his innocence “misfiled” and not found until two hundred years later, his very hanging botched, Kidd still managed to cling to his honor and his dignity (with one or two lapses) in the face of political machinations and royal ass-covering. If you love history, and especially if you’re fascinated by the world of pirates, this is a book that belongs on your shelf.

Detained at the end of the road: Panama to Yaviza and back
The Pan American Highway stretches from the north of Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina… almost. The road network ends twice, once in Panama at the notorious Darien jungle (aka Darien Gap), then once more at the true end in Ushuaia, Argentina. I really wanted to ride to the “first” end of the road. We had heard the road was rough in places, thus Jayne opted out and I went solo on a trek to Yaviza. I fought my way out of Panama city mid-day traffic, and rode to the end of the road. Like any time Jayne isn’t around, I got myself into trouble.
Driving through the rain and traffic to get out of Panama took ages, and just outside of the city’s clutches I almost had to go right back in again. A police checkstop asked me for my passport and driver’s licence. I had neither. In fact I had no photo ID whatsoever. In our travels Jayne holds onto our passports and bike papers so that in the event we get pulled over, the police talk to a pretty female instead of, well, this:
Without Jayne around, THAT had to try to explain why he had no photo ID of any kind. All I had was a printout of a scan of a temporary driver’s license extension that was written in English. After some hairy sweet talk, the police let me continue my journey instead of forcing me to ride all the way back to get my ID’s. Since it was now past noon, that backtrack would not have left me enough time to reach Yaviza in one day. Deep sigh of relief.
Past the checkstop I found myself riding through farmland. As I passed through and passed Chepo and other small towns I realized that this would not be a ride through the jungle that I had imagined. There were some small sections that looked a little jungle-y beside the road, but for the most parts along the road is clear cut ranch land.
I stopped for lunch at a roadside shack and started chatting with Kenny, a Panamanian-American who has picked Panama as his choice of residence. Great chat, love meeting folks in random places on this trip.
An hour later I reached the Darien Province!
Then I reached the first Darien “Border Police”. Panama has no army, but they treat their border police detachment as though they are army, complete with camouflage uniforms and automatic weapons, so it’s just semantics.
The not-army border-police didn’t like my lack of ID either, but I fortunately realized I had a photocopy of my passport photo page tucked away and they were willing to accept that. They even signed and dated my photocopy to help “ease my passage” at future police checks up the road.
The first police check in Darien also signals the end of nice potholed pavement, and the beginning of nice potholed dirt and gravel.
A bit of fun riding and another not-army border-Police checkstop later, I had arrived in Yaviza, the town at the “end of the road”. What does the end of the road look like? I had envisioned a paved road turning to gravel turning to dirt turning to an overgrown path guarded by howler monkeys and guerrillas.
This is the end indeed. You can keep riding for about 150 meters, then you have to turn left or you will run into the river. From there carry on and turn left again (sneaky river), and then left once more. Suddenly you are right back where you started: at the end of the road. Except now the entire town knows you are here. Here’s me talking about an identical place called “Yakima” (I was tired after the ride I think).
I wandered the town to entertain my evening.
It was a great wander and I met lots of kind folks. After angering all the neighborhood dogs and their owners by setting up my tent under cover of darkness, I slept well at the end of the road in the corner of a parking lot.
Before leaving in the morning, I sauntered over the bridge again and talked myself into a tour of the local hospital. My nursing sense was tingling, and it was a nice, small community hospital bustling with mothers and children all over.
The main focus at the hospital is on maternal and child health, start em’ young! Their vaccination rate is well over 90%, and that includes all the hard to reach natives who live hidden away in the jungle! Take that stat, Western world. The one downfall of the hospital is that it’s on the other side of the river from the “end of the road”. If a patient turns for the worse and needs to be transferred, the staff have to wheel the patient on a stretcher down the path, over the suspension bridge and into a truck. From there they drive 5 hours to Panama City over some pretty rough roads. Basically: don’t get really sick at the end of the road, or it’ll be the end of your road too. Malaria and Dengue aren’t the big culprits here like I thought they might be. The main health problems at the end of the pan-Americana highway: Diabetes, Hypertension and STD’s… not much different from home.
I left early enough on my ride back from Yaviza to contemplate a boat ride over to “La Palma”: the capital of the Darien Region. I walked over to the ticket lady to find out how much the boat to La Palma cost and was intercepted by a couple border police who asked, once again, for my papers. Unconcerned I passed them over. That was the end of my quest to La Palma…
Two hours sitting there, eating my peanut butter and waiting for the chief to call back and say I could go. Nobody really explained exactly WHY I was being detained, though the photocopy and machete were factors, but they did explain that since they had started to detain me I couldn’t leave without clearance from the top. For clarity, I love coconuts and picked up a machete in Nicaragua to help eat the impossible-to-open fruits. Also EVERYONE walking around these parts has one hanging off their hip. I was not out the norm in these parts. But I digress… Several officers came into the office at different times, all of them very friendly and interested about my trip, none of them willing to let me leave and continue it. The fact that my photocopy was signed and dated by the other police did not “ease my passage”. When the chief did eventually call back, the call was 4 seconds long and the officers sheepishly handed me my machete and papers and said I was free to go.
I really would have liked to visit La Palma, but it wasn’t to be. A little peeved at my lost opportunity and from sitting in the penalty box for 2 hours, I loaded my bike back up, sheathed my machete and rode back for the highway up the hot dusty road. But luck was turning back my way:
Refreshed with delicious coconut water and with renewed justification for carrying a two-foot-long knife on my bag, I head back over the potholed highway towards Panama city.
Re-entering Panama I was reminded about the atrocious traffic that resides there. Once all the construction is complete and they have a functioning metro system the gridlock will hopefully improve. For now, Panama is left with the worst traffic I have experienced in all of North America. I split lanes for 20kms to get back to Raul’s condo. 20 kilometers of, hot, sweaty stopped traffic that I felt fortunate to breeze past.
It somehow felt like a fitting end for a two day trek to the end of the road. If you’re down this way, I highly recommend it. Just don’t forget to bring your passport.

Sam Mendes has revealed that the upcoming 24th James Bond movie is intrinsically linked to its predecessor Skyfall.
The filmmaker and lead actor Daniel Craig are both returning for the next entry in the James Bond series, while John Logan will also be back to pen the script.
Mendes recently opened up to The Charlie Rose Show about why he decided to return for Bond 24, despite initial reticence.
"I started a number of stories that were incomplete. I cast a new M, I cast a new Moneypenny, I cast a new Q, I cast a new Tanner," he explained.
The director continued: "There was a missing piece now. I felt like there was a way to create the second part of a two-part story."
Mendes added that he feels a responsibility for the next Bond movie to please fans of Skyfall.
He said: "What we tried to do, and audiences seemed to embrace in Skyfall, was that for the first time characters were allowed to age, and they were allowed to acknowledge the passing of the years, and were allowed to acknowledge the history - in a kind of sly, mischievous way - the history of the franchise that they've been part of.
"And then I started to get really interested again, when they agreed to wait a little longer and not go immediately and not go with two movies but with one, which I felt very strongly about."

The fledgling New Orleans Pelicans are enjoying a confidence-boosting start to the preseason, as they are now 2-0 after outlasting another opponent in the game's final seconds.
Monday night, bolstered by guard Brian Roberts final seven points and go-ahead jumper with just seconds remaining in the game, the Pels defeated the Dallas Mavericks 94-92 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. This follows a 116-115 win over the Houston Rockets Saturday night in Dwight Howard's exhibition debut.
Coach Monty Williams is encouraged with how this young squad is finishing games, so far.
"I liked the sustained effort," Williams said. "In the first half, the way we just allowed them to run their offense, it was almost like they were in practice. In the second half I thought our defense was a little bit better, but they turned the ball over 28 times. You should win the game when your opponent does that. I was happy with the effort but obviously after two games there are a number of things t...

Voters’ favorable impression of President Barack Obama has dropped sharply since a high of 78 percent favorable after the inaugural to 66 percent in July to 53 percent in October. The drop, especially among independent voters, was very sharp since July as health care legislation came to the forefront. Republicans also began to rally against the President at that point.
One of Obama’s problems is that his policies are now seen by a majority of the public as “mostly liberal” (54%). A third consider his policies “mostly moderate” (34%) and, not surprising, only 7 percent consider them “mostly conservative.” In January, voters were evenly divided between labeling the policies he was likely to pursue “liberal” (43%) and “moderate” (45%).

The art of handwriting
Tuesday, May 6, 2008/
There is still a place for the handwritten card in today’s communications regime. KIRSTY DUNPHEY
By Kirsty Dunphey
Why send a handwritten card?
- People keep them – I’ve seen plenty of handwritten cards lovingly saved on the fridge, desk or a mantle. I’m yet to see too many emails, faxes or text messages souvenired like this.
- Hand written envelopes are more likely to be opened – because people then know it’s not going to be a bill, some lame business letter or a speeding ticket.
- It’s different – in this day of email, texting, IMing, Facebooking and MySpacing, a handwritten card harks back to a gentler era where people cared more – OK, I agree that’s a bit lame, but it shows that you were prepared to spend two minutes of your time and a stamp rather than just firing off some ill thought-out misspelled email.
- Why send a handwritten card? Cos the ones written with your feet just aren’t as neat.
Tips for sending a handwritten card:
- Find a groovy card that says what you want and stands out. I’ve had my own line done up with quotes that reflected the type of message I want to get across, like: “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible – Walt Disney”.
- Make it stand out. Use a marker instead of a pen. Again, it’s different to what people usually get. Different makes people look. Your message will keep them looking.
- It’s a personal form of contact so take the time to write a personal message! This goes for your Christmas and birthday cards as well – there’s all that blank space inside the card so that you can actually write something. “Dear Kirsty, from Kirsty” ain’t gonna cut it.
- Attach a business card. It’s personal, sure, but a business card means the person can easily get in touch with you afterwards – to thank you, to do business with you, to get a coffee, whatever.

Seven people were arrested on Sunday for allegedly smuggling more than 500kg of marijuana from Odisha and planning to distribute it in colleges and universities in Noida, Ghaziabad and Delhi. Contraband worth over ₹1.5 crore in the international market has been recovered from the suspects, said police officers on Monday.
According to SM Khan, deputy commissioner of police (Greater Noida), police received a tip-off that a big consignment would arrive in the city on Sunday night.
“On Sunday night, a pickup truck was intercepted by a police team at a vacant plot in Sigma-1, Greater Noida. There were three men in the truck and they were meeting four other people at the plot. Upon checking, a consignment of 502kg of marijuana was found inside the truck. The smugglers had hidden the contraband behind metal sheets inside the truck,” said Khan.
The suspects, Mohd Azad, Fayyaz, Rishiram, Sajan Shah, Yogesh Yadav, Rajkumar Shah and a woman whose identity has been withheld, were booked under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and produced before the court on Monday, said officers.
Three vehicles – a pickup truck, a cantor truck and a two-wheeler, which were used to transport the drugs – were recovered from the possessions of the suspects, said officers.
“The consignment was being taken to two godowns in Bahlolpur village and Bisrakh village. The woman suspect and her son Fayaz were operating this group from Noida. They placed the order for the consignment online. Rishi Ram and Azad were involved in distribution while the other three suspects were involved in transportation logistics,” said the officer.
Khan added, “The group has a local distribution network through which these drugs were being sold to students living in paying guest accommodations, hostels of colleges and universities in and around Noida, Greater Noida, Delhi and Ghaziabad. They were also being sold to working professionals here.”

When you’ve spent as much time as I have cleaning up spilled coffee and steak sauce, it’s the little things that you really begin to appreciate.
Stuffing shells, smelling empty bourbon bottles, buying books,
and burying your blues.
It’s the easy things like these that begin to define your time when you don’t know what else to do with it.
Filling notebooks with jibberish because empty pages are depressing;
and people seem to like jibberish.

In Italian these orange beautiful tasty fruits with thin peel are called Kaki or cachi but in my area we call them Loti as lotus , the flower.
My grandmother used to offer this since I was a baby girl & telling me that it was filled with little toungues & in fact you can feel them when you eat them.
“In one loto you can find the same energy than in a whole egg!” my grandmother used to tell me, so as I didn’t like to eat at all , at least this fruit has to be eaten, right??😂😂😂
Love the colour & the taste & its texture so soft but at the same time a thick pulp. They announce the autumn & remind me childhood , again.
Giuggiole are very different : hard & green when not mature & tannic, brown & sweet when you can pick them up from the ground .
Their taste is so special that usually people dislike them but I really love them very much as they are chruncy and sweet & are simple fruit,difficult to find on sale but you can look for them in the countryside.
In Italy we have a saying : ” andare in brodo di giuggiole” that means “melting in giuggiole broth” to say that we love something a lot as the giuggiola broth is very very delicious.
Never tried it but maybe one day if I found a lot I could try to make it at home & than let you know, at the present never had so many to bring home : I eat them immediately as I do for figs & cherries!
Enjoy my picts : ever tried or seen giuggiole in your Country?
In my region some people didnt know them at all…😱😱😱😱

Written for the Community Press June 18, 2015
If you feel there is a renewed energy happening in the Trent Hills and neighbouring areas, if you hear someone singing next to you in the coffee shop, pub, grocery store or local shop, smile and welcome them to the community. Warkworth’s Nancy Hermiston is back June 30th from British Columbia with her 25 member UBC Opera Ensemble in tow. The troupe is made up of young men and women in their 20’s filled with the joy and music of Verdi’s opera La traviata which will be performed at Westben July 2, 3, 4 and 5th. These young singers from across the country are post graduate students (or graduates) of the University of British Columbia where Nancy is the head of the voice and opera department. Some will be returning to The Barn while for others this will be their first visit to the community. Warkworth is Nancy’s home town and the community continues to welcome them with open arms by billeting the singers in their homes, taking them around the area, showing them the local sites, holding parties for them and giving them memories they will never forget. Not only are they excellent performers but Nancy prepares them in many different aspects of the opera world. They pack and transport the costumes and props, learn how to set wigs, do stage make up and sets. They work as a team. The Westben orchestra which will accompany UBC Opera Ensemble are professional orchestral musicians from the Toronto Symphony, Kitchener-Waterloo Orchestra, Orchestra London and others. The Westben catering team are busy preparing meals for the 40 musicians as they rehearse and perform at The Barn. If you love to cook and would like to contribute to the volunteer catering team at Westben, please call the Box Office 705-653-5508. La traviata is one of the most beloved operas of all time. (Google top 10 operas and it always appears). If you haven’t experienced opera before, this is a good one to try. Verdi’s music is tuneful and moving with soaring melodies and an engaging story. The costumes are elaborate and next to Westben’s natural setting, it is a beautiful sight. I love the pairing of the natural farm setting and the elegant costumes of the opera world at Westben and it is especially lovely when worn by the youthful UBC Opera cast. Visit Westben.ca for tickets for call the Box Office. Up this weekend at The Barn is Ken Tizzard June 19, 7 pm (Frank Moore opening), Cobourg Concert Band and Westben Wind Ensemble June 20, 2 pm and The Garden Gala Fundraiser June 21 at a private home near Warkworth.

England supporters have had their say - over three-quarters of fans believe that the England team should go back to playing their home games at various locations throughout England rather than at Wembley, as the new national stadium lacks atmosphere and is affecting the team’s performance.
In research of 1,476 sports fans, www.Wheresthematch.com has found that 76% believe that England should play their home games at constantly changing Premier League venues throughout the country, similarly to when Wembley was being built. 81% of fans felt that the new Wembley lacks atmosphere, which is adversely affecting the team’s performance.
When England played Kazakhstan at Wembley in the World Cup Qualifier earlier on in the month, a player mistake led to a dramatic, ‘reality TV’ style ‘booing’ reaction, which the majority of fans do not condone, according to the research.
Just 11% of fans believe that they ‘have the right’ to boo and react to the players negatively, whilst 83% agree that heckling mistakes will have a negative effect on the team’s performance.
Wes Lewis, co-director of www.Wheresthematch.com, which in partnership with www.ITV.com gives users the chance to report on games, had the following to say,
“When Wembley was being built the national team went on the road to play matches in front of full houses and constant cheering, but now the players play to a half-empty stadium at Wembley. This is because so many seats are taken up by corporate boxes and so many people spend their time in the bar and restaurants and not in the stands cheering on the team.
“We should not be encouraging this ‘Britain’s Got Talent-esque’ crowd bullying, given that the crowd at the game should give the team a morale boost, not the other way around.
“Of course, people pay for the right to watch the team, but they need to ask themselves – ‘Should I be booing team mistakes, which will in turn lead to further mistakes, or should I get behind the players and help them to the result that both they and I want?’ It is obvious that it is the minority in this case, but we cannot condone this behaviour, otherwise a new generation of spectator will emerge that will be detrimental to the success of the team.”
www.WherestheMatch.com offers users a simple, free service from which they can view the television schedule for football, rugby union, rugby league and cricket teams for the next 7 or 31 days, detailing the teams involved, when the sport will be on TV, at what time the match starts, and on which channel they can watch it.

By July 1, beer lovers will have a Connecticut Beer Trail in place that leads them to breweries across the state.
On Wednesday, a bill passed establishing the trail to promote the manufacturing and sale of Connecticut-brewed beer has passed in the General Assembly. New bills go into effect July 1.
At the Cottrell Brewing Co. in Pawcatuck, passage of the bill coincided with recent zoning approval to sell beer out of the facility on Mechanic Street and sale of two six-packs from the building on Wednesday, said Chris Kepple, director of sales and marketing. The facility also now has a tasting bar.
“They were complementary efforts that were started independently and then the timing came together in a very serendipitous way,” he said. “To have that bill pass in the same week that we made our very first sale at the brewery is a huge thrill.”
In business for 15 years, Cottrell makes an Old Yankee Ale and Mystic Bridge IPA, but plans to introduce three new beers in the next six months, Kepple said: a summer ale and Safe Harbor blond ale, due out in July, and in the fall, a dark beer dubbed “Revenge.”
“It really feels like an exciting turning point in the history of Cottrell Brewing,” said Kepple. “There’s a lot of buzz and we feel we have a bright future in Connecticut.”
Modeled after the successful marketing of the Connecticut Wine Trail, a route that links the state’s wineries, the beer trail would connect the state’s breweries and brew pubs with signs and promotional activities for locals and tourists interested in learning more about locally brewed beer.
“We’re just really excited that people are on board with trying to support local business and we’re glad everybody in Connecticut’s included because the local breweries just want to see each other do well,” said Matt Westfall, a brewer at New England Brewing in Woodbridge.
In business for seven years, New England Brewing produces Sea Hag IPA, Elm City Lager and Atlantic Amber.

So Molly and I got some special FOOD from CHEWY.COM this month from one of our FAVORITE food vendors, I and Love and You. If you have not tried the products from ILY then you must make it a point to do so. We at Casa de Noodles really really really love everything we have tried (and that is pretty much everything now) - even Sunshine (the picky) Cat loves their products.
There are GOOD reasons why we like ILY: they make their foods with the complete pet in mind. They meals are nutritious, healthy, flavorful and ALL REAL. They offer a whole line of holistic, grain free, premium ingredient foods that are DIVINE!!!! I really love their products and have since the first day I tried them. And according to their Chewy.com BIO, they are founding members of the Pet Industry Sustainability Coalition and employ green practices wherever they can, including a 100% wind powered corporate HQ in Boulder, CO. I and Love and You also donates meals to cats and dogs at shelters across the country. A company that gives to the community is numero uno on my list!
I love them right back.
Okay, so to the review I promised you.
This month's Chewy.com newsletter offerings included the new I and Love and You Stir & Boom Raw Raw Lamb Boom Ba Dinner Grain-Free Dehydrated Dog Food. It is a reformulation of their previous grain-free raw homemade dehydrated food.
It arrived SUPER fast like all Chewy.com deliveries do. And we TRIED IT THAT very night.
Mommy read the directions and measured the amount we should have. Then she added the amount of water it called for. This is how it looked before all the water soaked in. It took a little while - not exactly a BOOM there. I was overly anxious to try it as was Molly. We got put on time-out for whining too much. So to me that means it is a little LESS boom than advertised.
|water just added|
Lamb, Yellow Split Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Cabbage, Dried Egg Product, Flaxseeds, Bananas, Tricalcium Phosphate, Dried Kelp, Spinach, Ginger Root, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin E supplement, Ferrous Fumarate, Copper Sulfate, d Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid.
Take note - I see all real real FOOD listed for the first TEN ingredients. After that are fancy names for naturally occurring minerals and vitamins.
Once we got to CHOWING DOWN it was pretty academic. . . and FAST. I think I broke my own record for WOLFING down my food. I had to STEP away and belch when I was done.
It is THAT good. WOLF-IT-DOWN-GOOD.
And good for you. ILY Stir and Boom is formulated to be easy on Canine tummies, is complete and balanced nutiotion, and is minimally processed right here in the USA. And for those of you with diet restrictions, it is made for sensitive digestion, is grain-free, and has no corn, wheat, or soy.
What more can you ask for a LUSCIOUS HEALTHY DINNER? Order now and it might just make it to your house in time for Christmas dinner - or at least for New Year's Eve!
We at Casa de Noodles are gonna have to come up with NEW AWARDS because we are handing out so many to Chewy.com products. But they all DESERVE it so...... we award I and Love and You a
**We received free of charge from Chewy.com a small bag of this product so we could try it and develop and opinion about it. It worked. We have an opinion which we freely share on this blog. We are never paid and all opinions and observations in this post belong to me, Noodles the Pug (and sometimes Molly and Sunshine)

Budget leaders in both the Washington state Senate and the House or Representatives announced, on Monday, an agreement to update the state’s present two-year operating budget.
The state Congress has been working on a supplemental 2015-2017 budget since the regular legislative session of 2016. And the new agreement will update the spending plan to include adjustments that will help to pay for increased mental health care as well as higher costs for fighting the 2015 wildfires while still remaining within the state’s four-year balanced-budgget requirement.
“Last year we found broad bipartisan agreement on a sustainable two-year budget that made historic investments in K-12 education and reduced college tuition, while living within the means provided by taxpayers,” explains Senate Ways and Means Committee vice-chair Sen. John Braun, R-Centralia. Also a lead budget negotiator, Braun goes on to say, “This year’s budget update builds upon those investments and addresses the needs of Washington residents, including significant improvements in mental health treatment and care for some of our most vulnerable citizens.”
Now that the announcement has been made, we can expect lawmakers to conclude the bipartisan agreement voting by the end of sessionTuesday.
“Every legislative session is an opportunity to do something to improve the lives of Washington’s seven million residents,” said Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, chair of the House Appropriations Committee. “It took a little longer than I had hoped, but this budget was worth the wait. The Legislature will make key investments that address the teacher shortage crisis, improve mental health services, reduce homelessness, and improve the lives of foster kids. It’s not everything we wanted, of course, but that’s the reality of a divided government. The only path forward is through compromise and that’s what we’ve done with this budget agreement.”
But this overtime Congressional session comes after the Senate have already pre-approved several bills, so the time has not been wasted. For example, the Senate has already pre-approved Bill 5145, which requires that at least one member of Washington State’s Health Technology Clinical Committee to become an appointee aboard either the Washington State Medical Association or the Washington State Osteopathic Medical Association. Also pre-approved was Senate Bill 5458, which lets local health districts act as their own financial custodians, also granting health districts additional local powers. If you ever thought budgeting is easy, try dong your own household budget here.
More on the pre-approved bills and the final budget details are availabel today at leap.leg.wa.gov.

NATO is still about 450 short of its target for a training force to assist the Afghan security forces, and while that gap apparently was not filled during Friday's session, Clinton said she was not discouraged.
"We have a relatively small gap that we're still working to fill. I'm very convinced we'll get that filled," she said, adding: "For me, the glass is way more than half full."
Mark Sedwill, the senior NATO civilian representative in Afghanistan, told reporters later that the Tallinn meeting's agreement on starting a transition to Afghan control this year will require endorsement by the Afghan government. That is supposed to happen at a July conference in Kabul.
The next step would be an announcement at a NATO summit meeting in November of the first provinces targeted for transition to Afghan control, Sedwill said.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the 28-nation alliance is on track with its new strategy for winding down the war in Afghanistan, despite security setbacks and a continuing shortage of foreign trainers for the fledgling Afghan police and army.
"Our aims in 2010 are clear: to take the initiative against the insurgents, to help the Afghan government exercise its sovereignty, and to start handing over responsibility for Afghanistan to the Afghans this year," he said.
He said a meeting of NATO foreign ministers, including Clinton, agreed on what it will take to create conditions enabling Afghans to assume control of their own country. He was not specific about what those conditions will be, but said progress in that direction is important in order to avoid further erosion of public support for the war effort.
"Where it occurs, the transition must be not just sustainable but irreversible," Fogh Rasmussen told a news conference at the conclusion of the two-day meeting.
"Citizens in Afghanistan and in all troop contributing countries are demanding visible progress, and they are right to insist on that," he added. "We should have no illusions. Making progress will not be easy and will not be quick. But based on what we see on the ground now, it is happening."
He added that looking ahead to a winding down of the war does not mean the allies will leave before the mission is accomplished.
"It will not be a run for the exits," he said.
In earlier remarks, Fogh Rasmussen offered a mostly upbeat assessment to the gathering.
"Increasingly this year the momentum will be ours," he said.
Fogh Rasmussen asserted that the Afghan government, which has been hampered by a Taliban insurgency, political corruption, a dysfunctional economy and a dependence on foreign assistance, is starting to take more responsibility for running the country's affairs.
"We are preparing to begin the process of handing over leadership, where conditions allow, back to the Afghan people," he said. "The future of this mission is clear and visible: more Afghan capability and more Afghan leadership."
During Friday's meeting, which was closed to the press after Fogh Rasmussen made brief introductory remarks, Clinton was expected to press other NATO nations to provide more trainers for Afghanistan's police and military forces as part of preparations to withdraw Western troops from there by summer 2011.
Fogh Rasmussen said Thursday that an additional 450 trainers are needed for Afghanistan's security forces. Insufficient numbers of foreign trainers has plagued the U.S.-led war effort for years, although the shortfall has narrowed in recent months.
Friday's session also was focusing on a NATO initiative aimed at stimulating the Afghan economy by making it a priority for all foreign contingents operating in Afghanistan to hire Afghan contractors and purchase Afghan goods and services whenever possible.

My sincerest apologies my dear friends for not writing sooner and keeping you up to date as to what we’ve been doing out here in Durham. My infernal PC crashed a horrible death and I only just got my replacement, so, here I am with a few things to show you.
Let’s start with an announcement, for members of the Sterling Stars, Durham Region Steampunk Society, we now have a design for calling cards that you can download and print for yourself. Members Raven MacRaven and Lisa MacRaven graciously volunteered their time and expertise in making these possible. If you would like to make your own, email me and I can send you the document. Members can type in their own name, and “Member Since 20XX” if you so desire. You can also add your own email address, phone number etc…whatever you would like to have on there that will fit. We just ask that you not change the font or the design in any way, so that we all have a standardised format.
Our first event of Spring 2014 “Welcome to Spring” luncheon at Trinity Irish Pub in Whitby was a wonderful afternoon spent with good friends, good food and drink, and good music. We celebrated a new member’s birthday, and talked about our display that we were working on for the Victorian Market Bizarre Bazaar. Here are a few photos of our day to show you what you missed 🙂 Stuart and I also started planning my birthday party which will be the party to be at at FanExpo on Saturday August 30th. Just look for the Birthday Fairy and the Candy Pimp! 😀
Gina & Rebecca
the obligatory “selfie”
Happy Birthday Chris!
Gina & Sarah
Stuart, Lisa and Raven
The following weekend was the Victorian Market where we had a table taking donations for the local food bank. We had 4 members working the table for the day, myself, Gina (who put together most of the display board), Raven and Lisa. The event was hosted by Pop Culture Canada and we made some new friends and reacquainted with some others (I don’t like to use the word “old” when it refers to friends, to avoid offence 😉 ).
Raven being bamboozled
our booth display
Have a seat!
Friends new and known
Here is a list of the vendors who were there, and please do visit their websites. They all had lovely and useful items on offer, some of which I availed myself of! I’d have got more, if I my stipend were significantly higher.
Family merchants Waterston’s Wardrobe who lovingly makes some beautiful women’s clothes and men’s ascots, and her daughter Before Dark 30 whom I purchased a beautiful pair of earrings from. Rumour has it that Husband/Father does custom leather work, and will make your dog a steampunk collar and leash set. I’m saving my nickels to outfit Kreacher for an outing! He can be reached through the Waterston’s Wardrobe link above.
Husband and wife team Time to Accessorize has chainmail jewelery, dragon eggs and other geekery!
You know gluten free has gone mainstream when a baker shows up at a geek convention selling yummy gluten free cupcakes! Sweet Gluten Freedom I personally appreciate the availability of gluten free offerings, being celiac, it is quite often difficult to find things to eat when I’m out!
The Spider and Fly does some amazingly geeky things with TARDIS coasters and Ouija board placemats and check out Pixie Fashions for embroiderd patches, hairbands and other geeky necessaries.
The award for “furthest travelled vendor” went to Veronique Marcoux who came all the way from Montreal! Such shiny and beautiful pieces of jewellery that would be difficult to find their rival. You can find her shop at Capsule Creations on Etsy and she said she would very likely make the trip for Steam on Queen in June. Please stop by to see her and say “bonjour”
Another jewellery artisan who makes some wonderful things that you simply must see to believe is Steamgummi
If you need a corset please do have a look at Eva Mocek’s Etsy store. Her custom work is gorgeous, and pricing is more than fair. I plan to take her a bolt of fabric I’ve had laying about for years and always thought of making a corset, but I can’t sew!
And last but not least, Adam Smith from Sword in the Stone and Steampunk Canada who was showing off his leather wares, which I must say are very durable. I purchased a wrist band from him a bazillion years ago (or maybe it was just a hundred 😉 ) at Renaissance Faire. I love it and wear it often. Even when I’m not cosplaying. He also regaled us with a story of a pile of broken zombies during a lull.
I cannot tell a lie though, I must say that my favourite part of the whole day was once again the Dragonfly Belly Dancers
Highlight of the day
We plan to have a few more steampunky events here in Durham in the upcoming months. Hopefully about every 6 weeks or so. The next one will be either May 31 or June 1, depending what I can bodge together for the day, and whatever the weather decides to do, if an honest to goodness Spring will show up or not! It’ll be lunch, or maybe an evening pub moot. I will certainly let you know with plenty of time to have your top hat cleaned and your collars starched.
As always dear friends, do keep in touch. You can find us on Facebook and you can email me any time at firstname.lastname@example.org

Hi! I am looking for input on the support systems in place in other small community hospitals. I have had a rough weekend because we have had a high census with many sick calls and failing support systems. On Friday at 3:30 pm, we had a fresh post-op hip replacement and a chest pain admission literally sitting in the hallway because their room had just been vacated by 2 patients and there was no housekeeping staff on. So, the CNA and I quickly stripped the room, scrubbed and mopped it and made the beds while the patient's families looked on. An hour later, another admission came and when I went to bring her to her room, found that the room had never been cleaned from the discharge on day shift. So, again, I stripped, mopped and made the bed while the patient laid on the stretcher in the hallway. I overheard the family say, "gee, the RN's even have to do the housekeeping around here". It was very embarrasing. We usually have housekeeping on evenings but when there is a sick call, there is no one to replace her so it is assumed that nursing will pick up the slack. We have just implemented a new computer order entry system that has many problems. The lab called last night and said there were many errors that were put in by the day shift, such as duplicate orders. This is probably the computer's fault but it is hard to tell. The lab insisted that it is nursing's responsibility to fix there errors so I spent 45 minutes doing that last night, time I could have been spending with my patients and documenting. Then, the last straw was when I went to give the IV Rocephin to a 7 week old with pneumonia. I found the powdered filled vials in the med drawer with absolutely no instructions/guidance on how to mix it and no diluent. So, that took an additional 25 minutes to find out how to mix it, calculate the dose, and give the drug. Had pharmacy been doing their job, all I would have needed to do was a quick calculation to make sure it was the right dose. We don't have any formal transport program so when a patient needs to go to radiology, CT scan, etc. it is up to nursing to transport which sometimes can take them off the floor for 30 minutes or more. I have just had a lousy weekend and needed to "vent"! Thanks for listening/reading!

Sounds to me like there are problems with some of the other departments besides nursing and they should be covering thier own call in's. I can understand every now and then nursing having to clean a room but when you are busy and census is high, it should not be the nurses who are taking care of patients responsibility. First of all, ask yourself who's in charge of Housekeeping? If someone from that department calls off, it sounds to me that the department manager should be out there helping and covering a shift, after all thier probably on a salary and not hourly basis. It makes me sick when department heads gripe and complain about problems on the floor and they never come out and see whats going on, cause they only get it second hand.
Another question I have, is who is in charge on your shift and what are thier responsibilities? If your facility is anything like most, 3-11 is usually one of the busiest shifts. Youv'e got Docs coming and going, new orders, admits, discharges and transfers ect...
It also sounds like you don't have any Medication resources in your work area and if thats the case, someone higher than you needs to know about it and take care of the problem and make those resources available. I've run into a problem recently with "new" medications that are not in the nursing drug reference books or the PDR and our Pharmacy will stock the drug with no information on it. How am I to know if it's an antibiotic from an antipsychotic? Well, when the pharmacist on call gets a telephone call at 2 or 3 am, hopefully they'll think twice about leaving a med with no information on the floor.
Everyone has a job to do just like you and need to be made accountable. You should not be expected to do everyones job for them and if you don't make it known to the person in charge, you'll get stuck with a difficult situation again.

Hi I read your message and want you to know your not alone. I'm a RN in a small hosp.I work 3-11shift so I do every dept. except surg.I do all my own treatments, blood and wound care.I mix and give all my own meds.When I work ER I have to go hunt the drug and find the correct dosage and way to give it.that backs us up. I get no extra pay for diff. depts. worked. This is the only hosp. in this small area, many have left and come back becuz of the long drive they got tired of. We all need our jobs so noone says anything.Some days were swamped and the next we have to take low census, so we cant really complain.and if your from the area and have land and family you dont want to move. I'm not so I'm thinking of doing some traveling nursing with a 3yr.old along. What else do I do?? Anyways your not alone. firstname.lastname@example.org

A couple of weeks ago I took the opportunity while in Wellington to record a podcast with my old buddy Mike Riversdale (later joined by Raj Khushal).
In the podcast, we covered a bunch of different things – what I do for a “living”. My thoughts on the New Zealand tech ecosystem and the work I do with startups and large organisations alike.
It was awesome to take the chance to chat with Mike, and I really enjoyed opening the kimono and having a full and frank discussion.
Feel free to listen!

It’s no secret that home sellers are having difficulty enticing buyers to step up with decent offers, or any offers for that matter. And in a market where buyers are in the driver’s seat, desperate sellers are more likely than ever to lie to make the home seem more desirable.
From the WSJ’s “What Home Sellers Don’t Tell Buyers”:
Eager to unload their abodes, some sellers exaggerate the size of their lots or their houses. Others minimize their property-tax or utility bills, conveniently forget about pests, or downplay flooding problems or noise.
Real-estate experts say that while such misrepresentations aren’t new, the tough market of the past few years has made buyers more wary, partly because they can’t expect rising home prices to bail them out of costly mistakes. As a result, deals are taking longer, and more of them are falling apart as buyers find properties sometimes aren’t all they’re supposed to be.
Sometimes sellers lie, and sometimes they just don’t know—and they just don’t want to know—about problems like mold, faulty wiring, or the presence of old underground fuel tanks or radon gas. Buyers also often wind up paying far more in property taxes and utilities than they’d expected. What can you do to protect yourself?
Ask to see recent bills, and check with the tax assessor’s office for up-to-date information.
As with most potential problems, the burden is on you, the buyer, to ask the right questions, and to determine if the answers you get have any resemblance to reality.

Maintenance Mode - Chocolatey Fest 2018
I realized I didn’t have anything linking to my previous talk at Chocolatey Fest back in 2018. This was also the time I accidentally started my speaker timer 10 minutes early. See if you can notice the panic when I realize I’m 10m behind where I’m supposed to be (but wasn’t actually) 😭
New choco package requires a reboot? Windows patches overdue? Hear how Facebook EE (IT) created a source controlled way to schedule service interrupting changes while not impacting business as usual.
I’m still looking into releasing our maintenance cookbook but a lot of the core business logic needs to be pulled out.

"There are the foreign tourists who, despite their big cameras, tend to be very discreet. There are those who use a flash and annoy everyone around them. There are those who come equipped with gorillapods — those small, flexible tripods to use on their tables.
There are even those who stand on their chairs to shoot their plates from above.
Moe Issa, the owner of Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare, said he banned photography several months after opening when it became too much of a distraction to the other diners at his 18-seat restaurant."

Electronic viewfinders and Epson's Ultimicron
Electronic viewfinders are employed mainly as the finders - the small windows used to view the subject of a photo - in digital single-lens reflex cameras and camcorders using LCD screens. Epson's Ultimicron electronic viewfinders have the advantages of both high resolution and of being highly compact. This makes it easy for manufacturers to make the camera compact, and for users to focus the camera when taking pictures.

Guest post by Joseph Grenny, Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High.
Joseph Grenny tells Portfolio.com that the best way to stop inappropriate behavior is to confront it “at its first showing.”
According to Grenny, “the problem with harassment is not only that it happens, its that most people who experience it say nothing about it to the offending party until its far too late. By that time, the behavior is often so egregious that it merits an enormous settlement or a lawsuit. But equally costly is the enormous loss of productivity and engagement from those involved. Employees can reverse the commonly held belief that the only way to deal with harassment is to take it, settle or quit.”
Grenny offers three strategies from Crucial Conversations to effectively halt harassment in the workplace:
Adopt a “three strikes and you’re out” approach. On the first offense, speak up immediately and ask for the other person’s commitment to stop. Don’t be subtle – be direct. Make it private and make it polite. That’s strike one.
Don’t confront the same problem twice. The first time you confront it, you’re asking for a commitment to stop. If after making the commitment, the person continues with the harassment, you now have to confront the new problem – the person’s failure to keep the commitment. This is a bigger problem than the repeated behavior. Privately, politely, and immediately point out the failure. Ask why it happened and attempt to get a commitment to change. Let the person know that if they break this commitment you will lose confidence that talking with them is sufficient. Tell the person that you plan to explore other options for correcting this situation. This is strike two.
Know your options. If the bad behavior happens again, it’s time to escalate. You’ve tried to talk things out without success. Report the behavior to HR or use other channels to prosecute your rights. Be clear on HR, legal, and other policies you have working in your favor in case the behavior happens again. Strike three.

Fossil Amphibian Tracks from El Pueblo, New Mexico
This piece is not for sale.
SPECIES: Unknown ICHNOGENUS: Not entirely sure LOCATION: El Pueblo, New Mexico AGE: Early Permian (Approx. 270 million years)
There are two very distinct convex footprints with fine toe marks. This track way was made by a quadrupedal tetrapod vertebrate and are likely amphibious in nature. I will update with more information after I do a bit more research on this locality.

Hawaii State Senate Approves HB 444 SD1
HONOLULU - Equality Hawaii, the state's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, and the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBT civil rights organization, today applauded the Hawaii State Senate for passing HB 444 SD1 by an 18-7 vote. The bill provides that the equal rights and responsibilities of married couples in Hawaii be afforded to thousands of non-married couples in the state. The bill now heads to the Hawaii State House for their consideration.
"We're very pleased that the Hawaii State Senate took action and passed the Civil Unions bill today," said Tambry Young, Co-Chair of Equality Hawaii. "The Senate acted with great courage, conviction and integrity. They did the right thing for all of Hawaii's families."
The final vote in the Senate came after an amendment to change the effective date of the legislation failed to garner enough votes to pass. The issue of the effective date of the bill arose when the bill failed to secure final passage in the 2009 portion of the legislative session, which ended last May. Authors of the bill, anticipating passage would come in 2009 originally listed the effective date as January 1, 2010. On November 25, the Hawaii Attorney General issued an opinion on the potential date complication. In that opinion, the Attorney General clearly stated that the retroactive date would not invalidate the legislation.
"The Human Rights Campaign congratulates all those who have advocated for equality in the Aloha State, especially our friends in the legislature and at Equality Hawaii," said Joe Solmonese, President of the Human Rights Campaign. "We have been a proud partner with Hawaii's fair-minded residents for decades and will continue to stand by their side in the struggle for equality."
"This particular fight for HB 444 has spanned more than two years, but is just one more step in the decade's long struggle for equality that so many residents of Hawaii have sought" said Alan Spector, Legislative Affairs Co-Chair for Equality Hawaii. "The road has been long and the fight has been emotional, but today we're one step closer to providing equal rights and responsibilities to all of Hawaii's loving couples and their families."
The legislation now moves to the state House for its consideration of the amended bill, HB 444 SD1. The House would need to concur with the Senate version or amend the bill to change the effective date, which would send the bill to conference committee, before the final bill heads to Governor Linda Lingle's desk. The Governor may sign the bill, veto it or allow it to become law without her signature after 10 days.
Equality Hawaii is dedicated to securing equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people and their families in Hawaii. We envision a Hawaii in which LGBT people and their families have full equality in all areas of the law.
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

A Matter of Life and Death
2003 | DV | sound | 5min
floating single-screen projection | dimensions variable
A floating screen in a darkened room looks out from a plane’s window as it soars through clouds. Small scratches on the pane are detected by the lens of the camera as the plane rises higher. On two floor-based speakers, an excerpt plays from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s 1946 classic.
June: Request your position. Come in, Lancaster. Come in, Lancaster.
Peter: - nil, repeat nil. Age - 27, 27, did you get that? Very important. Education - interrupted, violently interrupted. Religion - Church of England. Politics - Conservative by nature, Labour by experience. What's your name?
June: Received your message. We can hear you. Are you wounded? Repeat. Are you wounded? Are you bailing out?
Peter: What’s your name?
Peter: Yes June, I'm bailing out. I'm bailing out but there's a catch, I've got no parachute...

A new trailer has dropped for the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary and, as you’d hope, it’s rather creepy.
Well OK, seriously creepy.
For those who missed the original, Pet Sematary follows a family who relocate from Boston to rural Maine. Upon checking out their new digs, they discover a strange burial ground hidden deep in the woods. After tragedy subsequently strikes, a peculiar neighbour enters the fray, which sets off a chain reaction that unleashes an unspeakable evil. Evil, we tells ya! Evil!
They’ve recycled a tagline from the 1989 version – “Sometimes dead is better” for this one, although we’d have preferred it if they’d gone with the much more classic “Don’t forget to put out the cat… Before the cat puts out YOU”. Oh well.
Starring Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz, with John Lithgow as creepy neighbour guy, Pet Sematary is due in Australian cinemas on April 4.
