Very Comfortable Experience
" I have never liked shopping at car dealers, I always tried to avoid them at all cost, I know what i want and won't be pushed or convinced otherwise, this is something that every dealer I have ever gone to is good for.... this is NOT the scenario with my experience at Sherman, Mike Morris was our salesman, I can't even put it into words as to how absolutely amazing this man is/was to me and my family, I truly felt beyond comfortable from the moment he approached my family. "

" AMAZING, HONEST, AND TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I went in to this dealer to possibly buy a wrangler and met a truly wonderful and trustworthy salesman Stacey Hall.

The Sales Manager Reggie was a true pleasure to deal with as well. My salesman Stacey was very knowledgeable about the car I was looking at. Stac "

The Nissan LEAF EV is a very quiet vehicle inside and out. Now, however, it's getting a bit louder, thanks to a specially designed Bose sound system.
Nissan has long wanted to include a bumpin' sound system as an optional extra on its LEAF EV. No system – until now – fit Nissan's requirements because the systems either weighed too much or drew too much electricity. For Nissan to feel comfortable installing a premium sound system into its EV, it would have to be both lightweight and efficient.
To solve this, Nissan teamed up with Bose to design a sound system specifically for the LEAF. It's called the "Bose Energy Efficient Series" or "BEES," as we like to call it. Available on SV and SL LEAF models, the BEES is now included as an optional premium package.
Eager to squeeze as much sound as possible from an energy-efficient system, Bose engineers designed lightweight speakers and amplifiers that would perform at a high level, without significantly dwindling the LEAF's energy supply. The result is a system that is both compact and lightweight and also extremely efficient.
Bose was able to fit its 4.5-inch Richbass subwoofer into its 6.2-liter custom Acoustic Waveguide bassbox. "The bassbox uses patented technology applied from Bose Wave home entertainment products to deliver rich, low-frequency performance from a very small enclosure," Nissan bragged in the product press release.
At the heart of the efficient system is an amplifier that not only draws less power than a standard unit; it also operates at a cooler temperature, which allows for its compact, lightweight structure. In a side-by-side, Nissan-produced video comparison (see video below), this specialized amp was able to run 50 percent longer than a standard in-car amp on the same amount of power.
We haven't yet heard the resulting tones from the BEES. With such a serene interior, we can only assume that the LEAF is now capable of creating quite the distinctive in-car audio experience. We can't wait to pump out some really high-decibel tunes in an emissions-free EV.

This project was totally inspired by all of the summer bucket lists that I've seen floating around on pinterest. Now, I need to take a minute to once again declare my love on pinterest. Are you on there yet? I l.o.v.e. it. (If you need an invite to join leave me a comment with your email address and I'll send you an invite.) You can see my pins here.
I love the idea of having a list of things to do with the kids this summer. Last summer I had wanted to do some of these things with the kids, but somehow the summer passed and we didn't get a chance to do half of them!
I've seen lots of these lists, but I think that a lot of them are geared for older kids. Mine is definitely geared towards toddlers, which is good since I have a 3 year old and a one year old! Some of the ideas I saw on pinterest- like the make your own car wash, tin foil river and giant bubbles. I made my own list and then rounded it out with some other ideas I've seen floating around. I especially liked this list form The Crafting Chicks.
I had my summer fun list printed at Costco, since I was ordering a few other enlargements anyway. It's an 8x10 and was just $1.89 (mine has a matte finish). Then I cut a piece of foam board to mount my picture on. I put some tape around the edges of the board so that it looked a little tidier. Foam boards not so easy to cut, so my edges were a wee bit jagged! You could use ribbon too. Then I just covered the front of the foam board with a light coat of Mod Podge and stuck my list on top of it.

What is leadership?
Yesterday FutureGov held an event in London and I gave a talk in which I asked whether in public services and social business we can raise the game of social involvement. (big thanks are due to the excellent Dominic Campbell at FutureGov for the invitation.)
At the end there were a couple of questions about leadership. A much-bandied word, maybe it's time again to look at what it means.
Since the formative experiences of Seth Godin's triiibes.com community began over a year ago I've come to agree with Seth that the ingredient that's being easily missed in social communities, and the one that's maybe being ducked in connection with the idea of social business, is how we develop concepts of leadership.
@RobertBrook's tweet in the #socorg feed yesterday 'leadership is a word that makes me nervous' got me thinking. It's easy to understand why it makes a lot of people nervous. When someone else has too much of it and when we don't have enough it's a threatening experience, sufficiently threatening to activate a fundamental sense of insecurity. Social organizations are meant to be egalitarian, so what gives? And what does talking about 'new leadership skills' say about the ones we have now?
One the one hand, social organizations play to our idealistic drives for a better world and offer freedom. On the other they represent a primal fear of loss of control.
Social business design needs to address both these twin drivers together in order to prevent the kind of attrition that comes from creating a negative feedback loop and adoption failure, reinforcing old patterns.
Existing organizations cannot become social overnight. Social organizations are intrinsically organic, defined by new levels and degrees of involvement and their success comes from how well they express themselves as shared entities.
And the glue in the truly collaborative experience is identity, purpose and task. There's no internal and external in the social organization, its validity of purpose comes from those who simply want to be a part of it.
With affinity and the desire to connect driving the viral nature of networked communications, the tectonic economic plates may have shifted a little. Spending cuts require that we look for and measure value in new ways, like the Klondike trail did. It's leading us to involvement in events and ideas that are compelling and credible. An adjustment in emphasis around less factory, more affinity, is a big part of the power intrinsic in social organizations and social business.
In order to realize it, we must choose creativity as part of the developmental path. Technology is enabling art and science to act together as counterpoints on a heightened scale, but it's easy to lose sight of the art.
Leadership with art is creative vision, and one can argue that leadership with only science is control. The internet disperses power, the consequence of which is that, as long as we have free will, intrinsic inspiration will trump external control.
That is why I think we must recognize that the progress of the social revolution involves freedom of expression, an increased emphasis on creative expression, and on talent development. In this way we can have better experiences.
Cultural DNA is a unique intangible asset, the lifeblood of any organization and especially the social organization, and culture comes from the generative experience of sourcing self and purpose. More than an algorithmic or an outsourced approach, the creative vision of leadership is what is going to encourage community involvement and is the key to developing consequent value.
The social age requires association, rather than disassociation. I think that means we mustn't forget leadership, we must reframe it. Leadership as talent development and creative vision can go a long way.

So the word on the street is that J.J. Abrams wants Benicio Del Toro to play the villain in Star Trek 2. The only hitch? Nothing's official yet, and Del Toro apparently has no idea who the bad guy is (as Abrams wishes to keep the script hush-hush). But hey, that's not going to stop us from wildly speculating and furiously gesticulating at our computers!
Here's a poll of some potential roles. Some were made up on the spot, others are courtesy of internet chatter. But don't let pesky reality stand in your way! Who do you want Del Toro to play in Star Trek 2: Twice the Trek?
If your favorite Trek villain isn't on the poll, sound off as loudly as possible in the comments, and maybe — just fucking maybe — Abrams will put his ear to the ground and revise the script to your tastes.

Tagged: Educating Marmalade
Bad Girl Warning
I was having a drink with a couple of pals the other night. Our train of thought meandered from the policies of the Israeli state to the resignation of Pope Benedict to baptising babies to Methodism to Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit to, yelled out in unified bingo-style abandon, MARMALADE ATKINS! Talk about 6 degrees of separation. Now to those of you who aren't from the UK, this last one might be a bit niche. In fact to those of you who are from the UK, but aren't of an age to have been watching kids TV in the early 80s, or whose parents thought ITV was a bad influence – you know who you are – this will also seem a bit niche. Nonetheless, I was struck by the profoundly powerful memory we all shared of this anarchic character from the dark and distant days of three TV channels. (OK you purists, I know she started out in book form but for a whole generation Marmalade Atkins was that girl from TV). And she was our hero.
That got me thinking about other anarchic characters from my youth. Minnie the Minx. I loved her. She was my alter ego. What am I saying, there was no alter, she was my ego. She has a statue in Dundee, you know. I was an avid '70s Beano reader, a member of the Dennis the Menace and Gnasher fan club, had one of those badges with the wobbly eyes, but Minnie was where it was at.
In the late '80's Darlene, the younger daughter in Roseanne took up the banner for irreverent youth, saving those of us with no interest in Disney Princesses from a fate worse than death. And for those aspiring to more adult themes (alcoholism, sexual violence, bereavement, relationship trouble), hard-talking, gun-toting, gin-swilling Chris Cagney saw us right through the decade.
By the time I left home in the very last year of the 1980's, TV as we had known it – a scheduled event, galvanising a family, a nation, a subculture – had only a few years left to live. There were now four channels, satellites were springing up like extra-terrestrial beings clinging to the sides of grey houses (everything was grey in the 80s). Video recorders were in vogue. Soon there would be a fifth channel. And then cable. And then internet TV.
So let's raise a toast to simpler times and remember when a few tough talking female characters scattered first through our comics, and then across our cathode ray tube TVs, offered a bit of feisty escapism for those of us who'd never much wanted to be one of Charlie's Angels.

I've noticed in many discussions that a lot of Americans on this site choose to abstain from voting. If you are one of these, and since I cannot vote in a US election even though I am indirectly affected by living on planet Earth, as a hypothetical question: How much would you charge me to buy your vote?
Specifically, how much would you charge if I asked you to vote Republican? How much for a Democrat vote?
Please don't look at other answers before you provide a sum as this will give you a cognitive bias called Anchoring:
"During normal decision-making, anchoring occurs when individuals overly rely on a specific piece of information to govern their thought-process. Once the anchor is set, there is a bias toward adjusting or interpreting other information to reflect the "anchored" information. Through this cognitive bias, the first information learned about a subject can affect future decision-making and information analysis."

Dem vote free. Repub vote probably not available at any price.
My oldest daughter and I had a conversation not too long ago in which we talked about whether we were corruptible. Now, my daughter, who is 24 this month, said she's corruptible, depending on the situation, while I made it clear that I am not corruptible, no matter the circumstances. So, in answer to your question: No amount of money would cause me to allow you to buy my vote. I have a very strong ethical nature and no matter how badly I may need the money, I would never, ever put aside my ethics or morals for something I don't believe in or believe to be wrong. I've been broker than broke and desperate at some points in my life, but I have never given in to the temptation of seeing a light at the end of the tunnel...but only if I do something I know to be wrong. It'll never happen. I will happily vote Democrat and would never take any amount of money to allow anyone to vote Republican. I think anyone who would entertain that idea and seriously consider it has no room to complain about the things going on in our country right now. They would be just as culpable.
Everyone's corruptible, it's all a matter of price and situation. I presume you are not always 100% honest with your employer about your feelings and attitude. :)
Take the anecdote about George Bernard Shaw and a voluptuous blonde actress:
GBS: Madam, would you sleep with me for a million pounds?
Actress: My goodness, Well, I'd certainly think about it.
GBS: Would you sleep with me for a pound?
Actress: Certainly not! What kind of woman do you think I am?!
GBS: Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.
Sorry, Arcus, but not everyone is corruptible, as you'd like to believe. 100% honest in what I say or feel, no one is, but corruptible, that is a totally different animal. My feelings and attitude toward my employer have nothing to do with corruption. Would I steal from them, even if I knew with 100% certainty that I would get away with it? Absolutely not. I know you may find this hard to believe, but that is not a part of my DNA. I have had many opportunities in my life to be corruptible, but my conscience overrides any actual action to do the deed. Am I always honest about my feelings? No. Am I perfect? Definitely not. But I AM honest in that I would never take something that's not mine or do something for any sum of money. I couldn't live with myself if I did that.
Politics itself is the art of corruption. The politicians "buy" votes with promises of certain obligations (i.e. taxes, legislation) for which you are granted certain services (i.e. welfare, defense). Since these things have actual monetary value. You will vote for the party which grants you the highest utility, essentially whomever gives you most the most bang for your buck.
(It's also why populists are always popular with many since they promise you more for less. People with poor ethics weak math skills don't understand that receiving valuable goods and services for free is theft unrealistic.)
I'm just attempting to make the value visible. :)
"My oldest daughter and I had a conversation not too long ago in which we talked about whether we were corruptible. Now, my daughter, who is 24 this month, said she's corruptible, depending on the situation, while I made it clear that I am not corruptible, no matter the circumstances."
everyone has their price and it is not always money. Tell me, if your daughter was starving to death, would you then steal to feed her? Or how about if she was sick and dying and the only way for you to get the medicine she needs to cure her was to steal the money needed? Will you honestly tell me that you would rather see your precious daughter suffer , in excruciating pain as she slowly dies, than break your moral code?
First of all, I'm talking about corruption...doing something you know to be wrong for some kind of personal gain. There is a HUGE difference between corruption and doing something out of desperation to save the life of someone you love. So, again, I am NOT corruptible, I will never do something wrong for my own personal gain.
I dont feel it is so different. Some people will do what they know is wrong for money, some people will do it for power, you will do it for your daughter. The only thing that has changed here is the reward to be gained from doing what is wrong, not the actual wrong doing in itself
Now dont get me wrong. i consider power and money to be paltry reward when compared to saving someone you love, but i know not everyone will feel the same as me. as important as your daughter is to you is as important as power is to some people
If you read the definition of the word, then you'll know there is a huge difference. Corruption comes from greed, not from need. It shows a lack of morals or consideration for others. It's very simple. The reward from corruption is usually money and/or power. That is what corruption is.
I was replying more to your statements like this than a strict definition of corruption
"No amount of money would cause me to allow you to buy my vote. I have a very strong ethical nature and no matter how badly I may need the money, I would never, ever put aside my ethics or morals for something I don't believe in or believe to be wrong" take notice where you say " no matter how badly i need the money"
Or "But I AM honest in that I would never take something that's not mine or do something for any sum of money. I couldn't live with myself if I did that."
never is a very strong word to use
and corruption has another definition
"In philosophical, theological, or moral discussions, corruption is spiritual or moral impurity or deviation from an ideal."
Geez, what I said still holds true. Again, let me stress, I would not do anything DISHONEST for the sake of money or power. NO MATTER HOW BROKE I AM. I've been totally broke, even lived in my car at one time, but I sought help the right way. I have had men in my past who had serious money who would buy me whatever I wanted if I went out with them...and guess what? I still said NO. I have strong ethics and would never allow someone to spend money on me whom I don't care about. And I wouldn't steal from my job, no matter how desperate my financial situation is. So please give it a rest. I stand by what I said.
I know some people find it hard to believe that there's even ONE person who wouldn't do these types of things, but I am absolutely one of those people. Just because you would do it, don't try to say I will. Because I never have and never will.
No. You say you are incorruptible because you would not do x for money nor power but admit you would do x to save your daughters life. that is still corruption
a dictionary definition of corruption

What caught my eyes were the cannele. I tried once at my so call local award winning patisserie I was very disappointed with the texture. It was chewy,dry and I really didn't enjoy eating it. However , I m going to try the piere herme one soon see whether I can get the authentic crunchy outside with chewy and custard inside cannelle.

I have only been in Tokyo but I wish I could have visited other cities too... In general I would love to travel to Japan every month! The food looks amazing of course. The croissants look exactly like those from my favourite bakery in France and the cannelé is just perfect (I regularly make cannelés and know they are not easy to bake, it took me a long time to find finally a good recipe and perfect tricks!). The Japanese know how to make perfectly even French dishes!

I'm so sad your Japan post is over... I have to wait until I go there myself next summer. I truly enjoyed your pictures, both scenery and food, and I miss home so much! Hope we can go to Japan at the same time one day so we can go places together and eat lots of food! That would be so much fun!! Thank you for mentioning my name on your post. It was my pleasure and I'm glad you had a great time.
I just remember your potato bread post - this potato bread is my favorite and I used to buy this for lunch when I was in high school from nearby bakery shop. Come to think of it, my lunch was so awesome back then... my school was near a bakery! Now I hardly can taste Japanese bakery... I got to learn baking from your blog! :)

The texture of cannele looks quite similar to our local kuih bakar. The food in Japan must be quite costly as well but worth to try all of them. I bet you're now feeling so guilty for not buying those Japanese rice crackers. haha..... Yeap, sayang they don't sell those moulds. Thanks so much for being our tour guide for the past couple of weeks. It was fun.
Hope you're having a fabulous weekend.

A real job. Like a grown-up. Who doesn't procrastinate.

the off-cycle job hunt
I was recently at ASCO and having dinner with a friend from residency. I asked about his post fellowship job hunt and he shared the details of what sounded like exhaustive process that had finally resulted in a position with a large pharmaceutical company. He asked me what networking I had done - or was planning to- do while at the conference.
Yeah, like to get a job.
Uh, I haven't started thinking about it.
And thus ensued a forty-five minute lecture. How could I have not started this process already? I should have a letter of intent and an updated CV. I should have started cold calling large oncology practices. I should have come to the conference knowing who was going to be here and how I was going to introduce myself. The fact I will be graduating late should have spurned me into starting the search earlier.
I sank lower into my chair and, as he continued to berate my lack of preparedness, accidentally finished the massive slice of chocolate cheesecake we had intended to share. I left the restaurant not knowing if the queasiness in my stomach was from anxiety or a butter bezoar.
Although technically I am about to enter my third and final year of fellowship, because I started late due to my first maternity leave (in residency) and owe this program time for my second leave, I won't finish until October 1, 2013. The heme and onc boards are in late October, so I wasn't planning on starting "a real job" until November 2013. Factor in a possible move, I might not be ready to start work until December 2013.
But I have to start the search now? My friend is an intensely driven and consummate go-getter. Both of his parents are successful academic physicians, his older sisters are also physicians, and I suspect he learned about RVUs and impact factors at the family dinner table. He knows a shocking amount of information about the business end of being a physician – how to get grants, publications, protected time, compensation, promotions, jobs, etc. During residency, fellowship, and now, apparently at the start of my job hunt, he was, and is currently, trying to tell me what-I-should-know in order to be successful. Although I know the constant "advice" comes from a place of caring (and it does, despite the fact I am making him sound like a jerk), he can drive me a bit insane.
But he might be right. I will be graduating off cycle, perhaps almost six months after other fellows are ready to start working. I want to move back to my hometown, a medium-sized city with its own set of fellows graduating from the local university. There are some cities where the heme/onc job market is saturated and if I wait to start the search, I might not be able to find a job at all. He reminded me of a mutual friend who couldn't find a position until a community oncologist actually died.
I think in the writing of this post I have convinced myself of what I already suspected to be true – as daunting as it may seem, I should start looking now.
A real job. Like a grown-up. Who doesn't procrastinate.

He might be right, but that doesn't make him less anxiety inducing. If you can get past his approach it sounds like he could be a *great* source of information about this sort of thing. I'm sure you'll find a job, and starting the search now might help you find the best job. you're probably way less behind than he made you feel.ReplyDelete
Eventually- the whole "off cycle" thing has to disappear, right? So, even if it seems big now- maybe it won't be later. :) good luck!ReplyDelete
Openings come up all year and sometimes waiting for the next "cycle" is not feasible. The timing could work in your favor. Wouldn't stress too much about it and enjoy these last months of fellowship.ReplyDelete

Pakistani politician killed in suicide attack
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Saturday for a suicide bomb attack that killed a senior politician in the northwestern part of the country in one of the most high-profile assassinations of a political leader in months.
Bashir Ahmad Bilour was a senior minister in the northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. He had a national reputation as one of the most vocal critics of the militants. Bilour was long on the target list of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, an umbrella organization of Pakistani militant groups, and survived at least two previous assassination attacks.
At least eight other people were killed in the attack, and more than 15 others were wounded, senior government officials and doctors at a local hospital said.
Bilour's assassination sent shockwaves through the country's political circles. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf expressed shock, with Ashraf terming Bilour's death "a national loss." The country's leaders announced a national day of mourning.
The attack, a grim reminder of the dangers that militants pose to their opponents, comes just months ahead of national elections, expected to be held in the spring. Asad Munir, a security analyst and retired brigadier, said that such attacks would limit the ability of secular, liberal parties in the province to organize public rallies and mobilize their voters.
"Religious parties will take advantage of the situation," he said.
Bilour was coming out of a meeting of his Awami National Party, the secular party that governs the provincial capital of Peshawar, when the suicide bomber blew himself up, according to Azam Khan, secretary of home and tribal affairs. Bilour died within hours, after being rushed to a hospital in critical condition.
Among the others killed in the attack were Bilour's secretary and a police officer, Khan said.
The provincial information minister, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, called for immediate action against militants in the nearby tribal region of North Waziristan, the safest haven for militants in Pakistan, saying it was time to take action against all militants.
U.S. officials have long called for the Pakistani military to launch a military offensive in North Waziristan, but Pakistani officials have balked at the pressure, citing fears that an offensive would lead to retaliatory terrorist attacks in cities.

Chickenfoot Discusses Their Creative Process
Sammy Hagar has nothing but love for Joe Satriani. In a new interview, the Chickenfoot lead singer praises his guitarist's ability to write great music.
Speaking to HDNet Concerts in advance of their performance at Rocklahoma tonight (May 27), Hagar says that their songwriting process is sort of the opposite way that Elton John and Bernie Taupin have written so many classic songs over the years.
"Elton waits for Bernie to write great lyrics and he just hands them to him with no musical thing in mind," Hagar said. "And then Elton writes these fantastic songs. For me, as a lyricist, when I hear Joe's music, it speaks to me. [He's] the well."
The feeling is mutual, according to Satriani. The guitarist credits his respect for his bandmates as pushing him to write the best music he can.
"I'm inspired by the thought of recording with these guys," Satriani modestly countered. "And it's important that it goes beyond just being a professional musician, at least for me. I have to be really inspired and excited that I'm going to write something and Sammy and Mike and Chad are going to really love it, and they're gonna add something to it. They're gonna take it to the next step."
Elsewhere in the interview, the band discuss how they got together.

Case Number: 5-304-503(B), Year Published: 2004
HBS Number: KEL051
Health Care, Genetic Testing, Patient Advocacy, Non-government organizations, Patenting, Global
The case describes Myriad Genetics and its struggle to secure exclusive testing services for the BRCA gene. After Myriad obtained licensing rights and dissolved its U.S. competition, it turned its focus to Europe, specifically the UK. The UK National Health Service had made genetic testing available to the public and Myriad had to decide which course of action would be most effective in stopping British BRCA genetic testing and expanding Myriad's own service to this new market.

When we eventually got to Bristol VegFest it was super busy, I knew it would be so as I attended last year too. Anyway, I had to go round twice, maybe even three times to absorb what was there, but I am sure that I miss loads in the hustle and bustle. It was also quite hard to take pictures, so I only have a few to share.
The fabulous Ms Cupcake aka Melissa Morgan in person who was more than happy for me to take a photograph of her. I have her The Naughtiest Vegan Cupcakes in Town, but have to admit that I have yet to bake from it. The selection below has me tempted and I am not overly a cupcake girl, but I am happy to bake them for others.
From baked vegan cupcakes to raw cakes and raw pizza from Paradise Unbakery which I was truly bowled over by.
I really did not know where to look first. Everything looked amazing.
These were perhaps the most beautiful raw vegan cakes I have ever and I mean set eyes upon
And you could see that they were truly made with love and edible flowers.
My nephew was tempted to try the Raw Thai Nam Home Coconut Water from Coco Face.
I have box of vegan Marshmallows from Ananda's to make at home, but it was good to try a sample of how the successfully made vegan marshmallow would taste.
There were so many vegetarian and vegan caterers on site, that we were spoiled for choice of world wide cuisine. I was really tempted by Brownins Caribbean vegan food, but the free samples of vegan cheese crackers and chocolate had me feeling quite content, that I wasn't quite ready to eat lunch.There were massive queues for the Happy Maki (that specialised in vegan sushi wraps) and The Loving Hut, and as much as I would have loved to tried their offerings (of vegan 'fish' and chips with 'fish' sauce), I don't have the patience to line up for food.
I was excited to see The Spotted Leopard there, but look forward to enjoying their grub some other day when I am in Bristol.
Momentarily I lost D, but when I looked back again he appeared with a cone of Smoked Jerk Spices chunky chips from The Happy Chippy. I must admit, the last thing I expected to eat at the Vegfest was chips!
I have to admit, I did not come back home laden with goodies, just a few things amongst them Bengal Spice Tea and Koko Dairy and Soy Free milk, but all in all it was a good day and one I would be happy to do again, come next year.

Throughout this DIM narrative, my primary focus has been on the major foreign policy statements or "doctrines" of the presidents, which in my judgment are representative of their mode of foreign policy thinking and essential to their coordinate impact on the history of American foreign relations.
This study — if it can be called a "study," since it is not nearly as penetrating as the research for a book on the subject would be — is limited further in its significance by the fact that it is entirely "longitudinal," if I may introduce yet another neologism into the thesis. In other words, it is a highly delimited "length-wise" cut through the history of a single aspect of government (foreign policy). It does not propose to analyze the mode of any particular president as such. That kind of broad analysis across the breadth of a particular individual's coordinates in history (which for a president, as a coordinate actor would include social policy and economic regulation, constitutional stance and relationship to the supreme court, conduct during elections and while in office, cabinet member selection and integration thereof, etc.) would be "latitudinal," if you get my meaning. I do believe that the mode I've uncovered for each of the presidents' foreign policy doctrines is actually representative of their personal mode, which the exception of the fact that based on everything I know about them, I would guess that the Ms — Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, and Johnson — are probably M and D mixtures (as suggested recently by "Steve D" in the blog comments) though not M-D mixed mode thinkers, as discussed in my last post on the subject.
(The concept of a "mixture" is very important, because it indicates the primacy of "D" in the thinker in question. Only a D can "mix," without integrating. In a sense, this virtually guarantees that all the presidents in question are D1 thinkers overall.)
Reagan is the same way. Unlike Nixon and Kissinger and probably Ford (who are the exception up to this point as being strongly D, without significant M admixture) Reagan was a genuinely idealistic and ideological figure that appealed to Americans on that basis, not merely because of his charisma and charm, but because he expressed a version of Americanism that resonated with their own and invited them to implement it in a new way.
Reagan appealed to the capitalist or free market element of Americanism with his "Reaganomics," and to the conservatism of his Republican faction with his "War on Drugs," and to the Truman-Doctrine M thinkers in foreign policy, with his declaration of the Soviet Union being an "evil empire." This is probably a mixture of M and D, with D dominating overall.
With regard to foreign policy, Reagan is remembered for re-escalating the Cold War. After it was initiated by Truman and set up as an M conflict between "good" and "evil," it was dis-integrated somewhat by Nixinger, who turned it into a board game and activated China and Latin America as moving pieces. A widely admired feature of this dis-integration was the essentially meaningless arms limitation treaties of the "détente" period, which D appeasement can be linked to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which was met by more (this time M2) appeasement by Carter. By 1980, Americans had had enough of this anti-American conduct. They wanted a president who would proudly stand up for America. Reagan was the best option on offer.
Reagan's re-escalation of the Cold War, called the "Reagan Doctrine," was designed to provide overt and covert aid to anti-communists world-wide, essentially: to re-misintegrate the Cold War!
So here we are moving along the M-D axis of thought.
Bush had his "axis of evil." This one is mine.
I know many people view Reagan highly. I do not.
Reagan is a strange case, because, in relation to what I discussed last time, his coordinate impact is quite high. Compared to Jimmy Carter, he is a significantly superior president. Thus, relative to the alternatives at the time, he represents a decent "rear guard" president, in defense of Americanism. Despite my positive assessment of him in this sense, I do not rate Reagan highly in absolute terms as a president. What can you do? There isn't one that I do rate highly in that sense after Lincoln.
All one should need to falsify any positive view of Reagan in foreign policy terms is the following picture of ragheads in the most sacred chamber in the history of world governance.
This is sacrilege–if the word has any meaning
The Japanese have an interesting notion about "spiritual pollution" that applies to this sort of gathering. If Reagan had understood just how awful what he was doing was, he would have committed seppuku or shaved his head and lived out his days in a Buddhist monastery.
In light of the events of 9-11 and the subsequent "war on terror," and the profound degradation of freedom that has come as a result, the essential roots of which are to be found in the Reagan Oval Office, Reagan comes close to being an unforgivably awful president.
(If I was more of a masochist, I would run a "worst picture in American foreign policy" contest. We would line up Kissinger and Mao shaking hands, FDR and the Saudi kind laughing it up, Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam, and a few others…but I don't think any of them can beat this one.)
Reagan's naivete about the Afghans verges on the non-modal, it is so pitiful. "To watch the courageous Afghan freedom fighters battle modern arsenals with simple hand-held weapons is an inspiration to those who love freedom," he said. In what universe?! The world of the forms, I can only suppose, where Afghan "freedom fighters" are nominally grouped under the higher logical "form" of "freedom fighters" in general, thus completing an ineluctable Platonic connection of no actual worldly reference.
The people seated with Reagan in the Oval Office has no understanding whatsoever of freedom. They viewed America as evil–and Reagan as a "devil." They only wanted American weapons to murder Soviets. By empowering them, Reagan re-booted the M Cold War, but proactively using a Nixon style "Afghanization," having "learned" from Vietnam. He thereby significantly contributed to the rise of America's next great enemy.
Because of his D-M mixture (or possibly mixed-mode) he couldn't see it.
"We must not break faith with those who are risking their lives…on every continent, from Afghanistan to Nicaragua… to defy Soviet aggression and secure rights which have been ours from birth. Support for freedom fighters is self-defense."
This is a classic M1 mis-integration. The basis of Reagan's support for the Afghans was the common denominator of "anti-communism" and a link to this-worldly "self-defense." While this might be a valid basis for a alliance (a foreign policy integration) with a country like Britain, it was not with Afghanistan, a hole in the ground if there ever was one, where no fundamental American interest could ever be supposed to exist–especially while the situation with Iran remained unresolved, which as a culturally dominant anti-American neighbor, would exercise great influence over the Afghan outcome.
Just a little understanding of the history of Afghanistan should have been sufficient to see this. Dubbed the "highway of conquest" by one historian, Afghanistan has been nothing but a graveyard for aggressive empires for its entire thousands-year-long history. Soviet resources were being drained and their morale significantly undermined by their attempt to control it. In light of this it might have been proper to send the Afghans weapons. But it was never proper to claim that they were "freedom fighters" or that the basis for supplying them with weapons was any commensurability with Americans' love of freedom. This mis-integration is what has led to American soldiers lives being egregiously wasted there. While Islam and tribalism dominate Afghan culture–which America has now assured will be the case for still longer–Afghanistan will continue to be among the most anti-human wastelands in all the world.
Reagan's coordinate good fortune was to be president when the Soviet Union was collapsing under the weight of its impossible attempt to keep up with the US, and when Gorbachev happened to be in the coordinate role of communist dis-integrator. This luck is not Reagan's virtue. If anything, Bill Gates deserves the credit. The guns or butter problem became impossible for the Russians, once the computer revolution took hold. Thank you, Bill.
To my mind, Reagan is a good example of how Republicans have almost always been more damaging overall to America than Democrats.
When M2 or M-D dictatorship comes to America, it will almost certainly be at the hands of the Republicans, or some faction within the Republican M-D axis of thought.
[I'll be traveling and sorting out a lot of personal and business challenges over the next couple weeks, with the the start of the new HistoryAtOurHouse school year, and the launch of the inaugural LiteratureAtOurHouse program, joining Music and Science in the LearningAtOurHouse suite of products. So this will be my last post on this theme for a while. I'll be back.]

Let People Decide on Bus Lanes, Proposed Ballot Measure Says
Who will decide if buses get their own lanes on Telegraph Avenue? If Bruce Kaplan and Dean Metzger get their way, the people will. On May 28, Kaplan and Metzger submitted a petition to the City Clerk with 3,240 signatures of Berkeley voters in order to place on the Nov. 4 ballot an initiative "to require voter approval before dedicating Berkeley streets or lanes for transit-only or HOV/Bus-only use."
They need 2,337 valid signatures.
Metzger, president of the Claremont-Elmwood Neighborhood Association, and Kaplan, who owns Looking Glass Photo and Camera on Telegraph Avenue, drafted the ballot measure in response to AC Transit's proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which would mandate 18 miles of dedicated lanes from San Leandro through Oakland to the heart of Berkeley. BRT would dedicate bus lanes—and remove two automobile traffic lanes—on Telegraph and parts of Shattuck Avenue.
While supporters of the bus plan say it would be a plus for the environment by taking cars off the road, opponents say reducing automobile traffic lanes would force traffic off Telegraph and into the neighborhoods. Telegraph Avenue merchants say it would be bad for business. Opponents further argue that BART already services the proposed route. Metzger says the decision should be up to the people.
"We want to make sure that this isn't railroaded through the commissions and the council," he told the Planet.
"The purpose of this measure is to enable the people of the city of Berkeley, by majority vote, to decide whether city streets or portions thereof shall be converted to transit-only or HOV/bus-only lanes ... If the change is significant or potentially harmful, the citizens should have the opportunity to decide their own future directly thought the ballot," says an explanation accompanying the ballot proposal.
Metzger said the act of collecting signatures served an educational purpose. He collected 200 signatures himself: "Ninety-five percent of the people I talked to had not heard about it," he said.
Berkeley's Planning and Transportation commissions will be looking at the BRT proposal on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the North Berkeley Senior Center, 1901 Hearst Ave.

Adam Tuss, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Better transportation projects meant to keep areas moving may not be worth it if they come with a high environmental price tag. Some see flaws with the planning.
As work on the newly announced Interstate 95 Express Lanes Project begins, crews are removing about 100 acres of trees and shrubs to make room.
Most of the trees and shrubs will be torn away from the median of I-95 at the southern edge of the project, between Dumfries Road in Prince William County and Garrisonville Road in Stafford County. It's an area that runs about 9 miles long.
"We found that the studies really didn't look at community and environmental impacts very much, or alternatives for the corridor," says Stewart Schwartz, head of the region's Coalition for Smarter Growth.
The coalition says its mission is to ensure that transportation and development decisions accommodate growth while revitalizing communities, providing more housing and travel choices, and conserving natural and historic areas.
"It's a shame we are not looking farther ahead in our planning," says Schwartz.
"At some point you ask the highway engineers, 'At what point would you stop widening the highway?' But under their projections, you'd never stop widening the highway."
The Virginia Department of Transportation says it has been engaged with the public in the planning for the project, however.
"We are certainly committed to restoring what we can," says Steve Titunuik, VDOT communications director.
He also says whenever possible, healthy trees will remain standing.
By comparison, the 18.8-mile InterCounty Connector in Maryland cleared about 750 acres of trees and shrubs, according to officials.
The I-95 express lanes will operate between Edsall Road in Fairfax County and Garrisonville Road in Stafford County. The existing HOV lanes on I-95 will be extended and widened in spots.
Drivers will be able to use the lanes for free if they have three or more people in the car. Otherwise, drivers must pay a toll for the promise of a speedy commute.
The entire project is costing close to $1 billion, 90 percent of which is being paid for by Australian-based Transurban-Fluor, a private party.
The operator of the new lanes must keep traffic moving at 55 mph. To do that, tolls will rise and fall based on the level of congestion.
The idea is that as traffic increases, the toll will also increase, pricing some drivers out of the lanes and keeping traffic flowing.
The I-95 Express Lanes Project is expected to be finished in late 2014.

In a move that makes quality high power amplifiers affordable to a broad new market, Crown Audio present the newly extended XLS Series amplifiers that significantly elevate the performance threshold of affordable portable PA amplifiers.
Comprising the XLS 202, XLS 402, XLS 602, XLS 802 and the brand new XLS 5000, the XLS Series is ideal for musicians, DJs, rental companies and corporate and hotel AV departments
"Providing more power than any other amplifier in its class, the XLS5000 represents a tremendous value to end users who need a high power amplifier without the big price tag," noted Marc Kellom, Vice President of Marketing, Crown Audio. "By pairing this amplifier up with JBL's MRX, SRX, or VRX loudspeaker enclosures, our customers can now have access to a highly professional yet economical all-Harman solution."
The XLS Series, Crown's workhorse amplifier line, has now been extended with the addition of the new XLS 5000 (£1399 RRP). Delivering 1,800 watts per channel in 4-ohm stereo mode, and a staggering 5,000 watts in 4-ohm bridge-mono mode, the XLS 5000 packs more than twice the punch of the next highest-powered model in the range, the XLS 802.
Housed in a rugged, 3U, all-steel chassis, the highly reliable XLS 5000 is equipped with an efficient forced-air fan to prevent excessive thermal buildup. The front panel sports dual precision-detented rotary level controls, a power switch with accompanying LED, and six additional LEDs indicating signal, clip, and fault for each channel. Rear panel connections include two electronically balanced XLR inputs as well as touch-proof binding post and Speakon® outputs.
The XLS 5000 also employs extensive protection and diagnostics capabilities, including output current limiting, DC protection, circuit breaker, and special thermal protection of the unit's transformers.
Like the rest of the XLS Series, as well as all other Crown amplifiers, the new XLS 5000 is backed by the manufacturer's industry-exclusive Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty.
The Crown XLS Series is available now at Dolphin Music.

So I just got back from CSICon, which was great fun. I gave a talk on the role of chance in evolution (it's more important than many think), and I think people recorded it. I also have a rough summary that I'll polish up and post to Pharyngula. But…
You'll have to wait a bit. This year I've decided I can no longer drive myself into total mental collapse by doing new talks all over the place, so I'm going to be recycling a fair bit. I'm going to use this same talk at Skepticon and Eschaton 2012, so if you're going to those events too, you might want to skip one of my sessions. Except that at CSICon, I had to compress it down to a half hour, so there will be some additional stuff at those two meetings.
I'm also scheduled to do two talks at Eschaton, so I'm not going to give that same talk twice. It'll be a talk on science education on Saturday morning, and one on evolutionary theory on Saturday evening.
And then in December I'll post a written summary of my talk, and try to come up with something new to say for Spring meetings.

Environmental Alternative Dispute ResolutionEnvironmental Dispute Resolution ("EDR") is designed to acquaint the student with the process of negotiating and mediating environmental disputes and to develop both the skills of negotiating as well as an understanding of what is necessary for a successful resolution of such disputes. EDR is different from most other negotiations because it typically involves multiple parties who have an interest in the outcome and because it requires the utilization of scientific information from which scientific predictions may be at least challenging or impossible to make.
We will explore the complexities of EDR by discussing observations of leaders in the field, by studying actual negotiated and mediated cases and discussing why or why not these disputes were successfully resolved. By using the lessons learned from these cases as a framework, we will begin to negotiate environmental disputes arising from simulated fact patterns. We will discuss the effectiveness of negotiation techniques and address the nuances that arise from power imbalance and commonly occurring political implications. We will evaluate whether resolution by compromise necessarily achieves environmental justice and we will discuss ethical issues that arise in EDR negotiations. The course will conclude with a Term Paper based upon your role in preparing for and experience in negotiating a resolution of a case simulation.

Montessori is probably a little different from many other schools, in that handmade Valentines are strongly encouraged (one is subject to militancy on many fronts when one's child is attending a fancy-pants private school--I also have to bring in homemade treats on the girls' birthday party days, and they can't have sugar, and if you try to send your kid to school in mittens that are too thin, you WILL get chastised). People are still allowed to be busy, so the girls always do get a store-bought Valentine or two in their bags (and one Valentine came with a piece of candy! I bet my life that the head teacher and at LEAST two sets of parents had a total fit about that one), but the beauty of the average preschooler's handmade Valentine really is a sight to behold.
Since this is Syd's first, and last, Montessori Valentine's Day, here are HER favorite handmade Valentines:
I also don't know if every little kid does this, or if the handmade factor makes them extra-special, but my girls TREASURE their Valentines. They carry them around, they pore over them, they painstakingly read/memorize each signature and greeting. For the last two years, Willow has literally loved her Valentines to death, and after some inevitable milk spill or bathtub accident I was left with absolutely zero momentos to hold onto for her.
This year, then, I'm afraid that in a few more days, before we've pushed our luck too far, the bags of Valentines will mysteriously disappear. They'll be rediscovered several years later in the girls' keepsake boxes, but I'll go to my grave denying any and all responsibility for the theft. The mystery, like the Valentines, will endure.

Without tax in place, healthcare will suffer
To the editor:
In a perfect world, every elected official would love to lower taxes and still provide critical public services however the reality is the math just does not add up. The Illinois Rural Health Association relies greatly on state funded programs to support medically underserved populations across the state.
If the current state income tax is not maintained at its current level, the healthcare services provided at hospitals, rural health clinics and public health departments will suffer greatly and impact thousands of Illinois residents who currently depend on them. In the mental health community, core psychiatric services and crisis services would be eliminated.
Unfortunately, if an individual does not get the proper medical care in the early stages of an illness or be able to stay on their medication, the illness is not eliminated, it worsens and becomes more expensive to treat in the long run and makes people who could be leading productive lives unproductive, not to mention the human pain and suffering. The Illinois Rural Health Association urges the members of the General Assembly to make what may not be the most popular choice but the most practical and responsible one, by voting to maintain the current state income tax rate.

Color Inspiration: Coral
9 comments:
YES!!!! Remedy that girl! Maybe I should too...Well, I was thinking its time for some purple furniture... I really nice eggplant!ReplyDelete
Coral is one of my favorite colors! Can't wait to see what you come up with!ReplyDelete
I really like coral, and I agree that it is rarely shown on the interwebs. heheReplyDelete
I found fabric that Sarah Richardson used in her first daughter's nursery, and I sewed pillow cushions a few years ago. I luckily found an amazing carpet that pulls out the exact colour of coral in the covers. (https://picasaweb.google.com/saaraah/LivingRoom#5606545389662934802)
I am strangely addicted to the color coral! Please paint some furniture and let us all see! Maybe it will inspire me to paint something as well!ReplyDelete
I think coral is such a fun, vibrant and happy color. I usually wear it on my toes for the summer. I love the JCrew clutch and that front door makes a statement. As you know, I admired a coral night stand that you painted a few months back. That was gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Ok...this is too funny. Those two tables I need...ya...they're for my front room where I am doing coral and navy. I may just have to buy your coral furniture!ReplyDelete
I haven't expiremented with this color in my home(yet)but my favorite pair of heels are in this fabulous color!ReplyDelete
i tend to like the pinkier side of coral.ReplyDelete
the orangier side - not so much.
{i finally got around to posting about the great job you did on my dresser. thanks, again!}
I am definitely crushing on coral these days. I even did a post about it myself last month.ReplyDelete
I've got a can of coral Glidden paint coming my way, but I haven't decided what to paint yet. Decisions, decisions!

NY man found guilty of sex trafficking women in Md.
Jeremy Naughton, 32, could get life in prison for crimes
A federal jury on Thursday convicted a New York man of sex trafficking several women through several states, including Maryland, for about a year and a half.
Jeremy Naughton, 32, of Brooklyn, N.Y., was convicted of sex trafficking, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, transporting individuals to engage in prostitution and a firearms violation.
U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said from January 2009 to the fall of 2010, Naughton and his friend, Charles Anderson, would target female prostitutes who didn't have a pimp and force them to work for them.
Naughton and Anderson would assault the victims, take all of their personal items and threaten them with guns. Rosenstein said they would control the women through physical assaults, sex assaults, humiliation, confinement and threats. In one case, officials said Naughton intimidated a woman in June 2010 by snapping the neck of her dog with his hands.
Officials said Naughton transported the women between Maryland, New York and other states to engage in prostitution.
Naughton could get up to life in prison when he's sentenced on Aug. 15.
Anderson, 26, of Brooklyn, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. He told police that the victims would stay in Naughton's Brooklyn room, where he would often assault them. Anderson will be sentenced June 14.
