All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. ~ Edmund Burke
That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. ~Steve Jobs US computer engineer & industrialist (1955 - 2011 )

Taking a medical history and performing a physical examination usually provide the information a doctor needs to evaluate a child's health or to understand what's causing an illness. But sometimes, doctors need to order tests to find out more.
Here are some common tests and what they involve:
Blood tests usually can be done in a doctor's office or in a lab where technicians are trained to take blood. When only a small amount of blood is needed, the sample can sometimes be taken from a baby by sticking a heel and from an older child by sticking a finger with a small needle.
If a larger blood sample is needed, the technician drawing the blood will clean the skin, insert a needle into a vein (usually in the arm or hand), and withdraw blood. In kids, it sometimes takes more than one try. A bandage and a cotton ball or swab will help stop the flow of blood when the needle is removed.
Blood tests can be scary for kids, so try to be a calming presence during the procedure. Holding your child's hand or offering a stuffed animal or other comforting object can help. Tell your child that it may pinch a little, but that it will be over soon. With younger kids, try singing a song, saying the alphabet, or counting together while the blood is being drawn.
Common blood tests include:
State requirements differ regarding tests for newborns and pregnant women, and recommendations by medical experts are often updated. So talk with the doctor if you have questions about what's right for you.

Growing up my folks had an expression "be deeper than a puddle". This was their way of telling us to stop and contemplate life and think about things.
Growing up my folks had an expression "be deeper than a puddle". This was their way of telling us to stop and contemplate life and think about things. They were great conversationalists and some pretty intense talks went on around the dinner table.
All topics were up for grabs, but in order to be a part of the discussion, you had to be willing to hear all sides of the argument. We could never get away with statements like, "That's stupid." If you truly thought something was stupid you had to explain why.
My Dad is an educated man and always has a unique way of looking at things. My Mom is a true 1960's thinker and while she wasn't a hippie in lifestyle or dress her ideas are shaped by that era. She thinks about e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g which my brothers and I found amusing. She always wanted to take topics and turn them upside down and inside out for discussion. We would always tell her to settle down and not to "go burn her bra". If we had an essay assignment due that was when she went into full throttle-hippie mode, her topics had subtopics, and her outline had outlines. "Where do you get this stuff?" we would ask. I realize now that my parents were encouraging us to be "free thinkers". The vocabulary and topics we were raised around were probably not what other people discussed.
A couple of years ago I attended a seminar for teachers. We were told that children of educated parents hear on average 3,000 more words per year than children of non-educated parents. The one exception is if your parents are uneducated, but are readers, then the child is still exposed to a wider variety of words and language. To this day, if my daughter has a strange subject to write about in college I hear myself saying "Call your grandparents they'll love this topic!"
Be deeper than a puddle and contemplate life.

The board, which is officially sanctioned by the city to make land-use and quality-of-life recommendations to the city, voted 6-2 to place the library atop a list of 13 projects for the city's consideration during the OBPB's monthly meeting Nov. 7.
It's the first time the OBPB and the city's other 40-odd community planning groups have been invited to help prioritize items in the city's capital improvement project (CIP) budget. This budget includes outlays for unique, often large-scale construction projects that enhance public assets like parks, beaches and roadways.
In addition to the library, the OBPB's wish list includes five items extracted from an ambitious vision to enhance the coastline that was presented to a board subcommittee last May under the title, "Ocean Beach Waterfront Master Plan."
That plan was hatched by the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association, but has since been handed off to the Ocean Beach Community Development Corporation, the group currently overseeing development of the Ocean Beach Gateway Project, said Tom Perrotti, the OBCDC's new president.
"It's a bold plan," Perrotti said. "It pretty much covers the entire beachfront of Ocean Beach."
Elements of the waterfront plan received high rankings by the OBPB. The No. 2 priority item, after a new library, is a project to revitalize Veterans Park at the foot of Newport Avenue.
"It's in such disrepair that it's almost an embarrassment to the community," Perrotti said.
Even if the city ultimately agrees to include the waterfront projects on its CIP list, Perrotti doesn't expect the city to pay for all of them.
"We're already putting feelers out for more funding," he said.
Three local projects come from the city's list of CIP needs, meaning the city regards the projects as essential — but not necessarily with any identified funding associated with them: the Ocean Beach library, the lifeguard station and new stairways and walkways at Orchard Avenue and the Old Salt Water Pool.
Once community planning groups weigh in with their rankings, the city's Public Works Department will make an evaluation. Then, the Financial Management Department will confirm the availability of funds. The new mayor would then release a proposed CIP budget in April for fiscal year 2014, according to the city's website.
Priorities from the Ocean Beach Planning Board for capital improvement projects in the city's FY2014 budget.
1.New Ocean Beach library: 15,000 square feet (more than triple the size of current branch). Cost: $14.8 million
2.Veterans Park/plaza revitalization. Removal and replacement of hardscape area around the flagpole with seating, lighting and other improvements at the 12,000-square-feet area at the foot of Newport Avenue. Also includes a 30-foot "Vet's accent" wall, improvements to the existing sea wall, and donor plaques.
3.Two new crosswalks on Abbott Street – one at Newport Avenue, the other at Saratoga Avenue
4.Dog Beach and bike path improvements. Upgrade one-mile section from Dog Beach parking lot to Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. Upgrade hardscape at Dog Beach entryway. Install new rinses and water fountains for dogs. Plant palm trees along trail to extend pattern to Robb Field.
5.Ocean Beach Salt Water Pool area. Replace former saltwater pool sand area south of the pier with 4,000-square-feet of irrigated landscaping. Reinforce perimeter retaining sea wall and existing stairwell. Install new stairwell to tidepools.
6.Ocean Beach Pier parking lot area. New sculpture underneath pier. New public art on retaining wall and removal or restoration of existing sculptures. Replacement of existing concrete stairwell to the pier and addition of new access to the beach from the boardwalk.
7.Preliminary design and evaluation of coastal erosion. This existing project from the city's current list would spend $900,000 to repair stairways and walkways at two Ocean Beach locations (Old Salt Pool, Orchard Avenue), one in Pacific Beach and three in La Jolla.
8.Ocean Beach lifeguard station. The city estimates a cost of $3.1 million for a new structure at 1950 Abbott St. with an observation tower, first aid room, reception area, kitchen, locker room and restroom.
9.Ocean Beach Recreation Center "tot lot" improvements. Improved seating, picnic tables and other upgrades.
10.Saratoga Park improvements. Project calls for 2,000 square feet of children's play equipment, 1,000 square feet of hardscaping, and 500 square feet of seating, lighting and landscaping to define the area.
11.Robb Field pump station dirt parking lot paving. Would pave a 55,000-square-foot dirt area on the west side of the West Point Loma Boulevard entry.
12.Ocean Beach entryway sign. Replacement of termite-infested sign on the west side of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, plus landscaping improvements. The Ocean Beach Town Council plans to fund this but has been advised to ask for placement in the city budget.
13.Ocean Beach Central Park. Buy the property and develop a park at the long-vacant corner of Voltaire Street and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. Planners voted to place this proposal on the bottom because the owner has proposed an office complex at the site, which the OBPB approved two years ago.
• Outgoing Mayor Jerry Sanders and District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer are both Republicans, and San Diego appears to be getting its first Democratic mayor since 1992 next month with the inauguration of Bob Filner. Nevertheless, Faulconer "is committed to working with the new mayor, just as he has with the previous mayor," said Faulconer aide Mike Patton. Faulconer had endorsed Filner's opponent, fellow Republican City Councilman Carl DeMaio, in the officially nonpartisan contest.
• Board members unanimously approved a permit to upgrade wireless communication antennae placed inside the steeple by T-Mobile Wireless at the Bethany Lutheran Church, 2051 Sunset Cliffs Ave. The improvements will not bring about an increase in the output of radiofrequency signals, said T-Mobile representative Ann Regan, in response to a question from a board member.

One morning as I headed out along Wildcat Boulevard, a sliver moon was rising in the east.
One morning as I headed out along Wildcat Boulevard, a sliver moon was rising in the east. Some days the moon is setting, some days it is overhead, and others it is just appearing. I guess the Earth and the moon are not perfectly synchronized for the moon to appear at the same place at the same time each day.
My mind was flitting from topic to topic as I walked along that day. Those people who live in the northern parts of North America are having a bitter and a late winter. I read that Alaska is allowing the citizens to keep studded tires and chains on their vehicles for two weeks longer this winter because of the ice and snow covered roads.
Spain certainly has had its financial problems. I recently read that a Spanish company is making mattresses which contain a safe. They advertise: "Your money stays close to you!"
Libraries have adapted to the times. Today, a person can check out videos and use computers at the library. Libraries are not only for books. The Basalt Public Library, in Basalt, Colo., also has packets of seeds that can be checked out. The borrowers save seeds from the plants grown that season and return them to the library in the fall.
Conservationists in Germany are elated that beavers have made a comeback in German rivers. They report beavers have even taken up residence in Frankfurt and Berlin. Scientists claim the resurgence of beavers helps bring back other species of wild animals.
Most of the German beavers live in the deep rivers and cause no flooding problems. There are some trees lost, but scientists believe that will not to be a problem.
Missouri has conducted a wild turkey survey the last few years. Volunteer citizens report any turkeys seen in June, July, and August. Surveyors in Minnesota have begun gearing up for the annual Minnesota Frog and Toad Calling Survey.
In this survey the citizens must be schooled on the different calls of the 11 species of frogs and three species of toads. They are supplied with a CD of recorded sounds and a picture poster. They visit 10 selected spots again and again to get an accurate count.
A trucker cousin called the other morning. We had a nice chat. When he was ready to hang up he said, "Well, we talked from Emporia to Topeka, Kan."
Take a walk, check out the moon, think about a variety of subjects each day, use those signal lights, and see what you notice or think about while passing along Wildcat Boulevard.

i dont have a good read on MS St yet. I do know they lost their All American defensive tackle to the pros. they lost their top qb and running back to graduatiion. They lost 2 starting offensive lineman. All these losses from a 6-6 team from last year Alott of people have a High oppinion of them especially the poles. They have played to date the weakest schedule in the conference There 5 wins are against 5 opponenst with a total of 7 wins. Having said this dosent mean I want have a pick on or against them. I am just trying to get a better read on them. I am one that does not think they are in the same league as alabama , South Carolina Florida LSU or Georgia. I believe them to be a middle tier conference team.and their schedule is about to get tougher. T he only reason I didnt have a 5 unit play on Ky this past weekend was because KY lost their starting qb last week.
Sorry about this being after the fact.

Fitness and healthy lifestyles are the norm in Boulder. So it's no surprise that 58 local businesses are competing in the Bolder Boulder Business Challenge this year.
The challenge is a competition between companies to see which one can get the highest number of employees to participate in the race. The company with the most entries will receive a commemorative 2013 framed poster with name, year and place plated on the poster.
Markit and Google had well over 100 employees signed up to run the race as of last week and both paid for their employees to take on the 10K. Markit paid for a friend or relative of each employee who signed up race to participate and Google also paid for family members of employees in the race to compete.
The businesses generally see it as a way to build camaraderie among employees and encourage a team approach. The competition between businesses seems to be an afterthought.
"Doing well in terms of winning the challenge is not really our goal," said Minh Huynh a software engineer for Google. "Even before the Bolder Boulder Business Challenge was established this year, we were excited to get the entire office to be involved with the Bolder Boulder. Having the Bolder Boulder Business Challenge available was really just icing on the cake, as it provided a very convenient way for employees to register, run on treadmills to qualify for waves, and pick up race packets, among the other benefits that are available."
Last year, two WhiteWave employees, Jarod Ballentine and Dave Schaff, found a way to use the race to do something for those less fortunate. They allowed fellow employees to suggest things they should do while running and accepted donations for each one they successfully accomplished.
The suggestions ran the gamut from making at least one pass on the Slip 'N Slide located at one spot along the course to wearing fake mustaches while running or even skipping through a section of the race instead of walking or running. They gave the donations for their efforts to the Community Food Share.
WhiteWave, a key race sponsor, is also participating in the business challenge this year with more than 80 of its 550 local employees signed up. They spent weeks training with Ric Rojas, who won the Bolder Boulder in 1979.
"Overall, WhiteWave is really committed to the health and wellness of our employees and building an engaged and energized culture," said Molly Keveney, a spokeswoman for WhiteWave. "So for us, participation in the Bolder Boulder really fits into that overall idea of trying to remain committed to health and wellness for our employees."

Difference between revisions of "Aswan"
Revision as of 16:49, 14 January 2013
Aswan (Arabic: أسوان Aswān) is a city in the south of Egypt, some 680km (425 miles) south of Cairo, just below the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, with a population of 275,000. Aswan is far more relaxed and smaller than Cairo and Luxor.
Aswan is the smallest of the three major tourist cities on the Nile. Being the furthest south of the three, it has a large population of Nubian people, mostly resettled from their homeland in the area flooded by Lake Nasser. Aswan is the home of many granite quarries from which most of the Obelisks seen in Luxor were sourced. Aswan was the ancient Egyptians' gateway to Africa.
Get in
By plane
Aswan International Airport is situated 25km SSW of the city, on the west bank and just south of the high dam. Public buses don't go to the airport and security on the approach road to the terminal is tight, so it's probably worth taking a taxi, for which you must agree a price in advance. It is possible to argue the fare down to LE25, but LE30 to LE40 is more realistic (and easier) for most foreigners.
The following airlines operate services to Aswan International Airport: Air Memphis (to/from Abu Simbel) (VERY bad quality), Astraeus (to/from London Gatwick), EgyptAir [9] (to/from Abu Simbel, Cairo, Luxor), Iberworld [10] (to/from Madrid), and LotusAir (to/from Cairo)
By train
Egypt's passenger train service runs along the Nile between Cairo and Aswan. Travel time from Luxor is around three hours on 1st/2nd class AC services. Five AC express services arrives from Cairo each day, journey time is around 13-14 hours costing 57LE for second class, 113LE first class. In addition there are two sleeper trains, departing 8PM and 9:35PM from Cairo's Ramsis station, prices starts at $60. Tickets often sell out so make sure you buy them a few days in advance.
The train station is on the northern end of the city centre, a few hundred metres inland from the river. Leave plenty of time to buy tickets, as the service at the counters is slow. Mini buses depart from outside the station (turn right as you exit the terminal), and there are a number of cafes and basic hotels on the blocks between the station and the river.
By car
By bus
From Hurghada (513km away) buses cost 50LE. Tickets are sold on the bus, but be sure to ask the price at the ticket office, because the ticket seller on the bus will often raise the price 5LE or so and pocket the excess if you are a foreigner.
By boat
Dozens of cruise ships depart from Luxor to Aswan everyday. These can be booked through agents or at the actual ships themselves. Also a boat to Wadi Halfa in Sudan departs once a week.
Get around
Aswan is compact enough to negotiate primarily on foot. To access Philae, the High Dam, and the unfinished obelisks, you can take a taxi or a horse-drawn carriage. A taxi excursion to all of these sights should cost 80LE to 100LE per vehicle.
To access the sights on the river islands or on the West Bank, you will need to cross the river by motor boat or felluca. Be sure to pay attention to the price as operators try to overcharge tourists. If you take the public ferry to the West Bank, you pay only 5LE.
Aswan Town and the East Bank
The River and Islands
West Bank
Around Aswan
The souqs (markets) in Aswan are refreshingly exotic without the same level of high-pressure selling found in some tourist towns further north. You will generally find that Nubian handicrafts are of higher quality and better value in Aswan. All other goods will be more expensive than in Cairo due to shipping costs to Aswan and the lower tourist demand. Having said that, the Aswan souk is
Aswan is much less strict on drinking alcohol than Cairo or Luxor, and many of the restaurants sell Stella (Egyptian brand not the Belgian brand) and Saqqara, both of which are lagers and comparable to European beers.
Stay safe
Aswan is generally a very safe city. However, do watch out for quite blatant attempts at pickpocketing in the souq. These thieves will approach you carrying scarves, shirts or even papyrus in one hand to sell to you, while attempting to go into your pockets with the other hand. The locals know this goes on, but do not count on them to intervene. Also, women should avoid travelling alone if they are not comfortable with leering men, although they are all bluster. Most horse carriage drivers will not commit on the price when you arrive at your destination and you're expect to give more.
Internet access is available at Keylany Hotel and Noorhan Hotel for 10LE per hour; but internet speeds are very slow. Kothor Hotel has more easonably fast internet available for 5LE per hour or 10LE unlimited for your stay.
There is so much to do around the Aswan area that time can be an issue. The local people are generally very cooperative, and for a price, doors might remain opened regardless of the hour.
Get out

For the second consecutive year, Pratt High's Morgan Schmidt will end the golf season at the State tournament.
For the second consecutive year, Pratt High's Morgan Schmidt will end the golf season at the State tournament. The event will be contested Monday October 21 at the Crestwood Country Club in Pittsburg KS.
Schmidt earned the honor Monday at the 4A regional hosted by Mulvane but held at Quail Ridge in Winfield. The course was not playing easy, as Schmidt was one of only 7 golfers who broke 100 on the wet, windy day.
Schmidt posted a 55 on the front and a really nice 43 on the back for a 98 on the day to earn the 7th place medal. The regional was won by Taryn Torgerson of Buhler who shot a 75 in the less-than-ideal conditions.
Winfield edged Buhler 394-396 for the team title. Local course knowledge may have played a role in the outcome. Pratt finished in 6th place in the 9-team field with 476.
Freshman Lexie Lanterman ended her first Greenback campaign with a 63-60-123, good for 25th place. Lanterman showed a great deal of improvement as the season progressed. To end the season, hers was the second-best score on the team. At the beginning of the season, she was only the fifth best, posting scores in the mid-70s over 9 holes.
Kayla Baer (59-68-127 27th) and Lauren Beardsley (64-64-128 28th) had solid seasons, each winning medals along the way. Beardsley had four top ten finishes this year.
Shelby Richards season also came to an end, shooting 70-67-137.

Fenwick feels prepared to take over Miner football program.
With a football coach as a father, Tyler Fenwick literally grew up in the game.
Now he is the head of his own football family.
Missouri S&T officially introduced Fenwick as the 19th football head coach in school history at a press conference Thursday in the Hall of Fame Room at the Gale Bullman Multi-Purpose Building.
It is the first collegiate head coaching position for Fenwick, who was the offensive coordinator at Missouri Western the previous six seasons.
He replaces David Brown, who was S&T Miner head coach for three seasons before resigning to accept an assistant coaching position at Fresno State.
"I feel like I've worked for a lot of good head coaches who have prepared me to be in this role," Fenwick said. "From all different angles; different experiences."
A California native, Fenwick spent five years – including the final four as offensive coordinator – as an assistant at Occidental College in California. However, he became quite familiar with Midwest NCAA Division II football in his six years at Missouri Western. The Western Griffons advanced to the postseason in all six of his seasons there, including a quarterfinal berth this past fall.
S&T was formally a Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) rival of Missouri Western before the Miners joined the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC). The GLVC sanctioned football as a conference sport for the first time in 2012, and the Miners finished second in the league race.
"I've always followed Division II football the last seven or eight years," Fenwick said. "I looked into what S&T is about. When I was at Occidental we recruited a lot of the same kids S&T did."
S&T took advantage of an incredibly soft schedule in 2012 and posted a 10-1 record.
Several of the Miners' 2012 league opponents were still transitioning from NAIA to Division II and as a result S&T played just two opponents with winning records entering the final week of the regular season. The weak schedule proved to work against the Miners in the postseason, as the squad failed to make the Division II national playoffs despite the gaudy won-loss mark.
If the Miners finish 10-1 again in 2013 a playoff berth is all but a done deal, as the schedule has been upgraded.
S&T opens 2013 with four consecutive non-conference games, the first two against opponents who advanced to the Division II playoffs in 2012. The Miners have a Thursday night season-opener at home against Chadron State College on Sept. 5 followed by a road matchup against an opponent Fenwick knows well – Missouri Western – on Sept. 14.
Before getting into GLVC play the Miners will also take on Wisconsin-LaCrosse and the MIAA's Lindenwood University.
Chadron State (Neb.) finished 9-3 last season. Missouri Western won the murderous MIAA title outright and was 12-2 last season. Lindenwood finished 8-4 overall and was fifth in the MIAA standings in 2012. Wisconsin-LaCrosse, a NCAA Division III program, finished 4-6 last season and split with S&T in a series covering 2009-10.
Starting this year S&T will also renew a conference rivalry with Truman State, as the Kirksville, Mo. school switches from the MIAA to the GLVC. The Miners have lost their last 21 meetings with the Truman State Bulldogs, with the last game between the two schools coming in 2004.
So, it's safe to say the schedule has been drastically beefed up.
"When you look at the league, I feel we have a chance to compete," Fenwick said of the GLVC. "This is a competitive league. Indianapolis (the lone loss on S&T's 2012 schedule); they're good. I think the teams are comparable. I think our schedule this year will be very competitive.
"If we get through that schedule I think we'll be in the playoffs."
Scheme-wise Fenwick says the Miners will not change much on either side of the ball. He will personally call the offensive plays.
"I'll stay on the offensive side," Fenwick said. "I'll call the plays. We'll spread people out but we'll be multiple; we want to balance things out. A lot of (what we run) will depend on the personnel. The system I've run over the years has been able to adjust to what we've had year to year.
"Defensively we'll look a lot like (last season)."
S&T loses a large number of seniors from last season's offense at the skill positions, including quarterback Josh Firm (2,451 passing yards, 27 TDs), receivers Smook Thomas (92 receptions for 861 yards) and Joseph Hyman (41 receptions for 632 yards and 15 TDs) and running back Curterris Golden (875 rushing yards, 14 TDs).
The defense has more returning anchors to build around, including linemen Eddie Rascon (43 tackles, 10.5 sacks), Freddy Dugard (43 tackles, 9.5 sacks) and Jimmy Burnhart (5.0 sacks) and linebackers Chris Emesih (team-leading 65 tackles) and Chris Horn (44 tackles, three INT)
S&T averaged 41.6 points per game and allowed 18.6 last season.
Another S&T assistant coach will be hired to replace previous offensive coordinator Nate Saum, who resigned over the winter. Now that he's in place, Fenwick will have input on that hiring.
Due to the timing of Fenwick's hiring the start of the Miners' spring football drills is still uncertain.
"We're working on that now," he said of the spring schedule. "We will probably start around April 7-9."
He added that the annual Miner Spring Football Game is set for May 4.
Fenwick says he will use spring practice to see if additional recruits need to be added before next fall.
"I've watched some film and I've watched our kids work out one morning," Fenwick said. "We can kind of take our time right now. I'm going to know after the first three practices (in the spring) what we may need to bring in."
And when Fenwick does recruit, he says he will primarily be looking at high school kids.
"I'm not a big junior college guy," he said. "I like to bring in high school kids; young kids who learn your system and your philosophy.
"The first thing we want to do recruiting is work inside-out; try to get some kids locally. I plan to focus recruiting locally to start with. I've recruited all over – California, St. Louis, Nebraska. At Occidental we recruited nationally; a lot of similarities (to S&T)."
Fenwick says once he gets settled in and moves his family to town he plans to begin forming relationships with fans, organizations and businesses within the community.
"It's important to get out and meet as many in the community as I can for the kids' sake," he said. "We have to advertise for this program."

Lost In The Trees Triumphant In Los Angeles and Chicago
Chapel Hill, NC's Lost In The Trees were recently in Los Angeles for a string of triumphant performances winning over audiences with their emotionally powerful merging of folk, classical and pop. The group performed at Spaceland, Amoeba Records, Elysium Foundation, McCabe's Guitar Shop and Hotel Café.
While in town they recorded an episode of The Blue Microphone Podcast hosted by Tyler Barth. The band visited the Blue Studios and performed three songs from their new album All Alone In An Empty House including "Song For A Painter," "All Alone In An Empty House" and "For Leah and Chloe." The musicians talked about the formation of the group, gave their impressions of the album tracks and played some of their favorite songs by other artists including works by Aretha Franklin and Kate Bush.

I've Hit the BIG TIME!!!
Oh my God! I made the cover of SCENE magazine in Cleveland. Click here for the on-line version of the story. SCENE is the local NE Ohio free weekly rock'n'roll paper like LA Weekly out here or The Reader in Chicago or The Observer in Dallas or whatever you got in your town. I read every issue when I was a teenager, hating it sometimes but often being surprised how good it could be. The legendary Crocus Behemoth, leader of Pere Ubu, was once a columnist. So that's cool. And they did a story about Dimentia 13 in 1991. Not the cover, though...
Also, Deborah Harper interviewed me for the Psych Journey podcast. Click here
and scroll down a bit to listen for yourself. She was very nice and asked some real good questions.
I did a talk in Ventura yesterday that went very well. Much better than I could have hoped for. My books all sold out! That's the first time that's ever happened. I'm starting to wonder if this new book will actually turn out to be popular...
I hit on something during the talk that I'd never thought of before it popped out of my mouth. This occasionally happens and it's very interesting when it does. My new book is, in part, about a lot of times when I stopped following the Buddhist precepts. And yet I always came back. And the reason was because when I stopped following the precepts things only ever became worse.
A lot of people present the precepts as a way to become holy or "pure." They're seen as ways to be more austere and clean, a straight arrow, like a Fifties guy with a crew-cut and a bow tie, less fun. But lately I've come to believe that what Buddha really wanted was to show us a way to live a life that is as fun as it possibly can be. All the ways society tells us fun is to be had are, in fact, wrong.
I'd never thought of it that way before. I'll probably expand on that theme for my next Suicide Girls piece, which is due up on March 16th.
Also, in other good news, I just received the only review of Zen Wrapped in Karma that really matters. This came in an e-mail from Nishijima Roshi, "By the way, thank you very much for your kindness to send me your valuable book Zen Wrapped In Karma Dipped In Chocolate. Reading it I feel very happy that your Buddhist thoughts are almost completely the same as mine fortunately. Therefore utilizing Dogen Sangha International, we can spread the True Buddhism, that is, the Buddhism as Realism, throughout the world. Therefore reading your book I have become very encouraged."

A leak in iTunes may have settled the rumors and debates about the design and name of the next iPhone. iTunes 10.5 beta 9 includes image files for the new iPhone - and they look exactly like the CDMA iPhone 4. Additionally, the files reference the new handset as 'iPhone 4S'. Both of these findings are exactly what TiPb has been hearing all along.
Also notable is that the files reference only two new iPhone 4S models: black and white, whereas the iPhone 4 references 4 models: black/GSM, black/CDMA, white/GSM, and white/CDMA. This is a strong indicator that the iPhone 4S will be a dual-mode, GSM+CDMA handset.
We are now only 3 days away from putting all the rumors to rest, because on Tuesday, Apple will reveal the truth.
Continue speculating in the meantime!

Animation is far behind live actors and real people when it comes to expressing emotions. We generally rely on the simplest expressions of very basic emotions. Now and then, someone will take an adventure off into more specific acting, but it's rare and difficult. Even if you are like me, and you want to do more specific acting than what is typical of animation, you have to start somewhere. You have to understand what elements make up an expression, and how they are connected to each other.
I actually feel kind of ridiculous explaining expressions that are so simple, so forgive me if some of this stuff is obvious. But it won't be to people who are just learning to draw cartoons.
In cartoons, even the clothes can make expressions or add to them, but we'll talk about that when I find some examples.Here Mickey is squashing and stretching the sides of his face and head alternately to "keep him alive". It varies his generic happy expression slightly.
The eyebrows pull the eyes with them into similar shapes.
The mouth droops down at the sides.
The mouth is in a frown position; the sides of it pointing down - the opposite of the eyebrows.
The Basic Elements Of ExpressionsExpressions are made up of basically 4 elements.
3 Mouth
4 Cheeks
This Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny expressions is very well constructed. Bugs is mad or stern.
His eyebrows point down in the middle of his face. The eyebrow wrinkles react to the main action of the eyebrows.
His mouth is pulled down at the sides-and in turn, pulls the cheeks down with it.
Here is a scene of mine that is full of very specific custom-tailored expressions, none of them pure emotions or stock. Yet, they are all constructed. Them main elements of each expression tell the story, but all the flesh around them is pulled and pushed along with the eyebrows, mouth and eyes.
The Hanna Barbera drawing style is instantly recognizable by the "beard line" - like on Fred Flintstone or Ranger Smith. That beard line can be used as the upper cheek line, and will be pushed or pulled by the action of the mouth shapes. It is a slave to the expression. Always look at the space between the edge of the mouth and the outside cheek line. Does that shape make sense?
In the drawing above, Yogi's eyes are "cheated". They purposely are doing something that doesn't make sense. They are drawn above the hat. This is an ode to the original Ed Benedict design. Ed designed Yogi with one eye that sticks up over the hat. The rest of him makes sense. If nothing made sense, like many of today's TV cartoons, you lose control over your drawings and you lose control over the emotional efect you want to convey to the audience.
Combining Two Layers Of Expressions
Wile E. Coyote is happy here- denoted by the mouth shape, but his eyebrows point down, like a mad expression. Together they make "evil-happy". Once you have mastered the most general "one-emotion" expressions, you can start mixing elements of different expressions to get slightly more complex attitudes.
The coyote drawing is even more impressive when you think of how complex his construction is. Don't try this at home.
Specific expressions are expressions that are more complex than the simple basic expressions. They are harder to describe in one word.
Variations of General Expressions that are Specific To The Cartoonist (His style)Some animators have expressions - or their own stylistic variations on the basic expressions.
One thing that animation and cartoons can do that real people can't is make impossible expressions. These would be limitless. Here's a famous one specific to Chuck Jones.
Note that even though your eyes can't actually join in the center, these are still drawn with hierarchy and construction.
Over many decades, we have accumulated a handful of expressions that are not general to real people, but that have become general to animation. You see them all the time.
They are stock animation expressions. The most common one today is probably 'TUDE. Stock animation expressions are fallbacks. They are automatically used when an animator is not actually thinking in terms of the characters having actual specific personalities. They are so ingrained in the animation world that most animators, even really good ones don't even realize they are relying on these instant formulas.
Animation formulaic acting (not the general emotions and expressions that are common to us all) is a poison in our art from. It's holding us back and I would love to see the next generation of animators be able to recognize it for what it is, and then bury it for good.
I think that if animation is to grow to the next level, this is a problem that finally has to be addressed - and gotten rid of. Animators, if we want to be thought of as "actors with a pencil" have to break out of simple formulas and start studying real people and good live actors who have an infinite amount of very specific expressions, tailored to the character, the situation and the instant.
Robinson uses all the tools that make up acting: gestures, voice control, body language, expressions - and he uses them with amazing variation and structure. This kind of acting can give you chills.

this cute canvas photo serves two purposes. not only is it super chic artwork of one of my loves, but it doubles as a cover for the unsightly alarm panel.
ta-da! not only does it hide the ugly alarm panel from friends and family, but also from strangers.
simply attach two flat hinges first to the canvas (ordered at canvas on demand with uploaded photo from our collection) and then to the wall. (i just picked the hinges up at home depot for cheep).
view when canvas is in open position to reveal the alarm panel.
side view of both canvases on the wall in our entry. you can see the hinges from the side on the one that is hiding the alarm panel, but barely.
what do you think?
update: 7/25/12 we have many comments saying that this will NOT work as a thermostat cover and we agree–this idea is for an ALARM panel. 🙂

Column published Jan. 24, 2013 in The Mexico Ledger
100 Years Ago
"Ivan Ashworth, of this city, who originated the Mexico Commercial Club's $1,000 saddle stake, has suggested and says with a little work the present ruins of the Ferris Grand Opera House can be extended and made into a miniature Coliseum which could be used as a theatre, convention hall and horse show and sale pavillion. With such a building Mexico would instantly jump into the place of the leading convention city of Missouri as well as attract wider attention to our stock and make the sales of national fame."
50 Years Ago
"A moderating trend in the weather kept temperatures from dropping as low as feared last night, and this morning shot the mercury up 13 degrees in an hour. It is still cold and will continue to be cold over the weekend, with lows tonight predicted to be from 2 below to 5 above, and highs tomorrow in the 15-20 range. The high today was expected to be around 15."
25 Years Ago
"Citizens opposed to further commercial development in the West Plaza shopping district will have a chance to be heard at a public hearing tonight at City Hall. A plan to rezone a one-block section of West Love from residential to commercial received unanimous approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 5. Commission members were informed that a portion of that block, which abuts recently rezoned property in the 700 block of West Monroe, would be used to build a Pizza Hut restaurant. In the regular City Council meeting, council members are expected to approve first and second readings of an ordinance that would enact the zoning change."
10 Years Ago
"With the District battling an outbreak of flu-like sicknesses and the threat of slick roads and frigid temperatures, North Callaway Superintendent Tom Howard decided to cancel class Thursday for the rest of the week. Many other mid-Missourians say they wish they could stay home, too. The current freeze is part of a cold front that blew in from Canada, bringing with it arctic-like temperatures and powdery snow. The temperature this morning at 8 a.m. was 6 degrees, but with the wind chill, it felt like -10 to -15 degrees. The cold was enough for Superintendent Don Francis to close Montgomery County schools on Thursday. School was cancelled today for Moberly, North Callaway, Paris and Wellsville.

I am very thankful for the efforts of people who helped me in connection with the Dec. 26 snowstorm.
God bless the kind man who helped me get my grocery cart to my car when he saw I was having difficulty. Then, with the difficult time I had getting my car open and the snow over everything, I forgot my purse in the shopping cart.
I didn't miss it for three days.
When I called Sam's, I was told it was there. I was worried because I had just been to the bank and had a good sum of money and my credit cards in it.
God bless the person who turned it in intact.
Also, I appreciate Sam's for keeping it safe for me.
So, in a week's time, I found out there are angels out there; many people do the right thing.

Since 1872, mining interests have made billions of dollars by removing and selling valuable minerals from our public lands without having to pay a cent to the American taxpayer. This is one of the biggest budget loopholes of the modern economy, and it needs to change - especially now - as Congress tries to address the deficit and balance budgets.
Blame this bizarre omission of royalties on the 1872 Mining Law, which encouraged westward expansion by allowing prospectors to stake claims on public lands and freely remove "hardrock" minerals like gold, silver, copper and uranium. This saloon-era handout - established over 140 years ago - continues unchanged to this day. Mining companies still receive these precious metals and minerals for free.
Today, some of the world's biggest companies make a mint by mining our metals, selling them to the highest bidder, keeping all the profits and often sticking taxpayers with a costly cleanup bill. We're left with a legacy of abandoned and contaminated mines on public lands that leak into streams and aquifers, lands that should be managed for the benefit of the American people.
Even as these giveaways continue, funding for national parks and other public facilities keep getting tighter. Employees' hours are being reduced, cleanup crews are scarce, and trails are going untended and falling into ruin. Even a small royalty could rejuvenate our public-lands system, help clean up abandoned mines and mine waste, and put people back to work. Why should companies get a free ride while the national budget is slashed and parks close for lack of funds? With prices for gold, silver and other minerals at near-record highs, requiring companies to pay a royalty for public resources is simply good policy.
In 2011, we requested a Government Accountability Office investigation of this issue. The results, published this past November, were striking: The GAO found that we have no estimate at all of the value of the hardrock resources extracted from federal property. Not only are we giving public resources away for free, we don't even know what's being taken or the value of what we're giving away.
The Department of the Interior, using estimates and partial information, put a ballpark figure of $6.4 billion on the value of hardrock minerals extracted from federal land in 2011. If taxpayers received an 8 percent royalty on $6.4 billion, that would mean more than $500 million a year we could put back into managing our public lands and reducing our national debt.
For decades, Congress has tried to rally sufficient support for hardrock mining law reform. Disputes about what royalty rate to charge, how to calculate company profits, and what benefits would go to local mining communities have managed to stall decades of reform efforts. But while full reform has not been successful so far, progress has been made.
In the 1990s, both the House and Senate implemented a moratorium on the patenting of federal land for hardrock mineral development. As recently as 2008, the House passed a measure that would have protected special landscapes and charged a royalty of up to 8 percent. As cosponsors of this legislation, we were frustrated to see the bill die in the Senate.
Now more than ever, the case for reform is clear, and we appreciate the support we've received from President Obama's administration. As our nation works to address the deficit in the months ahead, we can no longer allow federal giveaways of our natural resources to continue without any compensation to the taxpayers who own those resources. The president proposed hardrock mining reform measures in each of his past two budgets, and we hope to see this repeated in his fiscal year 2014 request due this month.
But the only way mining reform will happen is if the public becomes aware of its importance. Nothing in Congress happens in a vacuum. That's why we're highlighting this issue now, before budget negotiations get too intense.
In 1872, Congress made national expansion the country's top priority, and we spent the next century growing westward. That phase of American history ended a long time ago, but our mining law never caught up to the realities of today. It is long overdue for Congress and the administration to act - to finally demand, and get, a fair price for the public's hardrock minerals.
