Aesthetic Impact (some notes & a guide)
Let us not overlook how digital interfaces --much of it in the manipulation of a mouse in the palm of a hand, a trackpad under fingertips-- has had substantial impact on what it means to share ideas and content (outcomes of ideas).
So much that in the past has required sophisticated, expensive, large, and specialized equipment now exists in user-friendly compact forms that allow for quick and easy image and sound capture & production, sometimes with results that can begin to rival what expensive professional equipment counterparts can produce. As an example, check out the musical offerings (visual offerings, too) from strexx.com, offerings outside of formal studio and publication protocols; some technologically empowered individual initiative.
You can listen to one sonic offering: environmental experiment 69 (New Teacher Lessons Crowding Rhythm Catalog Mix) from strexx.com right here:
The audio (and video) remix is something that has been greatly facilitated by technological developments, and is overwhelmingly collaborative as in this remix of Like Music by The Jinks also from the strexx audio lab:
The amount of sharing that occurs is staggering --I think about the number and range of cyber communities to which I belong, the good fit, the appropriateness of so many of these memberships without certain physical details or other facts (including a certain literary clout & related assumptions) interfering.
And I can easily --so I will-- inform you about GadgetTrack to help you recover your stolen portable digital devices:
(how it works diagram from InventorSpot.com )
You can watch a Gadget Trak video at KGW.com, and more information is available from Gadget Trak Recovery System blog
Knowledge of this device did not come in time to help someone from strexx.com who wrote about an aggressive ipod theft(at Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor) in this post in the strexx particle labblog.
--Leave some comments at the strexx particle labblog; okay? Give strexx some encouragement & support, please--
I maintain five email accounts, each one in touch with a part of my existence, the umich account, the only one that requires me to be professorial.
But the sharing --that's a Wow! for me; the impulse to make information, aesthetic information and other information, available is stunning. Whatever someone makes, as long as there is some form of digital conversion, can be placed where there is potential for that thing to be encountered. This is downright revolutionary. And with all the shared material, it is easy to capture material generated by others and bring it into my own/your own cyber locations --just amazing, and an example of joint custody. The sharing, the potential of something I contribute making contact with someone anywhere in the world who may take interest in it is much greater than an impulse to control it; I take pleasure in finding my video poams in Russia, in Japan, in Germany, in Brazil.
So I can share with you something I find compelling that was shared in other online locations:
Introducing the conceptual text-based visual systems of Jason J Gillingham.
You are not likely to find work like Gillingham's in most anthologies of poetry, even in anthologies of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry where there is exploration of the language's inexactitude and uncontrollable interfaces so that its use does not clarify and only seems to because of the trust placed in language without considering the structural and conceptual limits and fallibilities of language. The fragmentation implicit in language usage in exposed by Language poets; there should not be expectations that groups of words can form reliable coherency when it cannot be determined with any exactitude just what is being connected and what the logic of the connections might be.
Rather than trying to produce incoherent poems, language poetry extracts the meanings and portions of meanings that might be available in arrangements operating on other logics, often based upon the nature of experiences words have endured in use, misuse, overuse, abuse. negligence, assumption, over trust. etc.
Gillingham is not deliberately making poams; while text is a part of his work, the text is not meant to convey meanings based on their definitions. The words are placed in situations that change them, revealing alternative concealments, often at the expense of kinquisitic and syntactical integrity. As the words interact with their environments, there is a physical reaction. Usually, words are representational, but in Gillingham's poams, the words have thingness, and as things they are liberated from representing what they are assigned in language systems.
Of course it is possible to view Gillingham's text objects as fragmented, but I think of it more as the splitting of pods when growth erupts, the accessing of the interios of the egg; Gillingham opens the words, none of which are empty.
The use of words as objects, and the making of poems that arrange these objects according to systems other than definitions is also compatible with L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry although Gillingham's work, nor the work of Ed Rusha is usually categorized as poetry, as problem with dominant and domineering systems allowed to shape the systems of significance/insignificance that shape the rules and protocols of society.

For some of you, what follows will be an introduction, for others an opportunity to reacquaint yourself with what I consider extremely significant conceptual poam work by two visual makers whose text systems are enclosed by visual systems further enclosed by the placement of text systems within visual systems and by the content of the text systems.
Those of you unable to readthe text systems literally, will still be able to read non-literal implications of the text systems. Do consider the strong possibility that the text system is not necessarily meant to be as read according to the usual protocols of engagement with text. Opportunities to encounter alternatives to pervasive (and seemingly unchallenged) (deeply embedded) protocols of existing are steadily increasing because explosions in digital technology help innovation to flourish within widespread attempts to determine what this technology can do, can't do.
Shirin Neshat is primarily visual (still and moving) poam maker whose pages (a page is a host of a poam event; where a poam event pccurs) often disallow negative space, text filling any location in the map of the poam that may be filled:
This visual poam by Shirin Neshat may be experienced in its source context, and more
of her visual poams may be experienced at Iranian.com.
Lalla Essaydi, visual poam maker of Converging Territories, a collection of visual poams in which what might otherwise be consigned to negative space is populated with text to an extent that saturated black areas of visual poams may be perceived as areas where text is so dense, so saturated, that individual parts of texts are not discernible, as evident in:
This visual poam may be experienced in its source context, a neighborhood of other Essaydi visual poams from Converging territories at: Laurence Miller Gallery.com
And, of course, this inclusion can remind us of just how strong the impulse is to supplement text with sound and image. The sharing of idea includes responsiveness to a range of human sensory perception, so sharing includes the writing of sound and image as well as the writing of words.
What I now consider my work could not exist without these advances in accessible technology.
The exploration of other possibilities of aesthetic expression has been simplified and made even more meaningful because the accessibility of technology has been accompanied by relatively easy modification of these evolving tools. I am able to bring more of what I can imagine (and what I can imagine has been extended as well) into a shareable form.
Not only has my work been transformed, I have been transformed; the very structures that produce my ideas have been reconfigured as a result of my exploring possibilities of making and living that take advantage of an examination of protocols of expectation that had shaped me without my conscious consent. Once I acquired an identity of maker, an identity as modifier of what exists; once the play-doh and tinker toys were in my hands without the manuals telling me what and how to make, I became aware of how easily restructuring and reconfiguration could occur.
Looking across scale and identifying the repetition of basic forms, using metaphor as a navigational tool instead of a literary device, investigating how systems form, how they are sustained, how they degrade and come together again as variables come and go --all this helped me understand what and where (other) possibilities were, and I continue to seek ways to utilize what I am still finding with my limited fork.
(the Limited Fork plant didn't just sprout, didn't just blossom; it took hold in a fertile area from seeds that came from something enclosed in a system just as fertile)
(image of Limited Fork plant in the Garden of Forked Delight by Proforker T Moss)
The interview Shadows, Boxes, Forks, and "POAMs�? addresses some of the evolution of Limited Fork interacting systems as an enclosure system for my life.

Making money from YouTube: Is it a mystery?
Bacon plus bacon plus bacon equals YouTube success.
David Lazarus — of the Los Angeles Times and also our go-to guest host for "AirTalk" and "The Patt Morrison Show" here at KPCC — had a recent column in which he pondered the moneymaking prospects of You Tube:
Making money from YouTube videos — it's something I've always wondered about. You won't get rich stuffing Mentos into bottles of Diet Pepsi, right?
Probably not. But millions of people are at least hoping for some modest returns, thanks to a profit-sharing program run by YouTube's corporate parent, tech heavyweight Google.
He then talked with Andrew Broadbent, a YouTube consultant (How's that for a job title?):
..."You just have to believe YouTube that the figures are the real deal."
He added that serious money — more than $100,000 a year — actually can be made for the talented (or lucky) few who rise to YouTube greatness. But the vast majority of the site's hundreds of millions of users will barely earn enough cash annually to buy a pizza.

Hey Simone, it sounds like what you're doing is working just fine! I always look forward to sweating ALOT during workouts, so to ensure that I do, I wear many layers! When I sweat profusely I feel as if I get more out of the workout.
I have a question for you. You run at 9mph? That is a fast speed!
In the past (in 2009), I used to double-up workouts when I used to miss a workout. Nowadays, I try not to miss any workouts just so I won't have to double-up.
Tomorrow is my weigh in day, I'll keep ya posted?
Great job on your 11lbs weight loss. WTG!
Happy Holidays. I have been away and chose to up my cardio to 45 minutes. I went to the gym twice while here and did very well. It help me maintain a total of 13 pounds lost. I did eat junk but didn't eat crazy. It felt great doing 45 minutes of cardio followed by my upper or lower workout. I couldn't believe how strong I felt and how I didn't feel sore the next day. Felt very accomplished. I opted to not do anything today. Some reason I felt today would have burned me out. Ill be back on for Monday. How are you doing? I hope to lose another 2 i two weeks. My diet isn't the greatest but I am getting there. I hope to go to the gym starting at 5:30 am three days a week so that I can do it in the am and get it over with. Well c.
Take care
Giving love to oneself one day at a time.

How Does Atmospheric Temperature Affect the Water Content of Snow?
AbstractAre you a snow aficionado? What atmospheric conditions produce light, powdery snow, and what conditions produce heavy, wet snow? This project shows you how to use data from daily balloon soundings of the atmosphere and your own snow measurements to find out.
The goal of this project is to investigate the effect of atmospheric temperature on snowfall depth.
Andrew Olson, Ph.D., Science Buddies
This project is based on:

If you're lucky enough to live in a place that gets snow in winter, you know that the feel of the snow can vary a lot. Sometimes it can be light and fluffy, and other times heavy and wet. The light, fluffy snow has less water content than the heavy snow. What accounts for these differences?
One possibility might be the temperature of atmosphere in the clouds where the snow forms. Another possibility might be the temperature of the atmosphere through which the snow falls on its way to the ground. You may be wondering, "How in the world am I going to measure the temperature of the clouds?" Fortunately, you don't have to make the measurements yourself. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has already done it for you. Twice a day all over the U.S., weather balloons are used to take atmospheric soundings. The data from these soundings is available online (Unisys Corp., 2005).
Figure 1 shows an example of an upper air sounding plot. This is a standard graph used by meteorologists to analyze data from a balloon sounding. There is a lot of additional information in the graph, but basically it is a plot of temperature (x-axis) vs. height (y-axis). The white data line on the left shows the dewpoint vs. pressure, and the white data line on the right shows the temperature vs. pressure. The pressure (in millibars, mb) is shown on the y-axis in blue lettering, and the height (in m) is shown in white lettering. A sounding plot is also called a "Skew T" plot, because the temperature axis is plotted at an angle (i.e., skew) of 45°. The temperature lines of the Skew T are in blue (at 45°).
Atmospheric pressure decreases with height above the Earth's surface. The higher you go, the less atmosphere remains above you, so the pressure decreases. "Meteorology uses pressure as the vertical coordinate and not height. This works out better for thermodynamic computations that are done on a regular basis. Pressure decreases in the atmosphere exponentially as height increases reaching 0 pressure in space. The standard unit of pressure is millibars (mb or hectopascals-hPa) of which sea level is around 1015 mb. Here is a table of pressure levels and approximate heights (Unisys Corp., 2001):"
|Approximate Height
|Approximate Temperature
(sea level)
Figure 2 shows how to read the temperature at a chosen pressure level (height). On the y-axis, find the pressure level (in mb) where you want to know the temperature. Follow the horizontal pressure line over until it intersects with the temperature plot (right-hand data plot, in white). Then follow the 45° temperature line down and to the left to the temperature axis. In the example below, the temperature at 700 mb was about −11°C.
There is a lot more information in the sounding plot, but it isn't important for this project. If you want to learn more about sounding plots, see the references in the Bibliography section.
In this project you will use atmospheric sounding data combined with your own measurements of the snow depth to liquid ratio to find out if there is a relationship between atmospheric temperature and snow quality.
Terms and Concepts
To do this project, you should do research that enables you to understand the following terms and concepts:
- troposphere,
- pressure,
- temperature,
- snowflake structure.
- Where does snow typically form in the atmosphere?
- For more information about the layers of the Earth's atmosphere, see:
UCAR, 2000. "Windows to the Universe: Layers of the Earth's Atmosphere," University Corporation for Atmospheric Research [accessed March 27, 2007] http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/Atmosphere/layers.html.
- For current sounding data, see:
Unisys Corp., 2005. "Unisys Weather: Upper Air: Upper Air Sounding Plots," Unisys Weather [accessed March 23, 2007] http://weather.unisys.com/upper_air/skew/.
- For more information on the data contained in upper air sounding plots, see the following references:

Haby, J., date unknown. "Basic Meteorology Experiments: Experiment #9: Snow-to-Liquid Ratio," TheWeatherPrediction.com [accessed March 20, 2007] http://www.theweatherprediction.com/experiments/.
Materials and Equipment
To do this experiment you will need the following materials and equipment:
- tall cylindrical can for taking snow samples,
- flat cover for the can (could be plastic or sheet metal),
- a place to collect undisturbed snow from a snowfall event,
- a ruler,
- computer with Internet access.
Share your story with Science Buddies!I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.
Experimental Procedure
- After a snowfall, pick a location to collect snow that will represent the average snow depth for the event.
- Place the can upside down and push it down through the snow until it reaches the ground surface.
- Cover the opening of the can with your plastic or sheet metal cover.
- Bring the can upright, carrying the snow with it. The accumulation of snow in the can should be similar to what is on the ground.
- Measure the snow depth on the ground (in cm), close to where the sample was taken.
- Bring the can inside and wait for the snow to melt.
- Measure the depth of the liquid water in the can (in cm).
- Calculate the ratio between the snow depth and the depth of the liquid water. For example, if the snow depth was 30 cm and you measured 2 cm of liquid water in the can after melting, the ratio would be 15:1 (15 cm of snow for every cm of liquid water).
- Repeat the measurement for several snow events.
- For each snow event, you will also need to examine the upper air sounding that is closest to your location and to the time of the snowfall event.
- Examine the temperature profile for the lower troposhpere (surface to 700 millibars pressure).
- Upper air sounding plots are available here: http://weather.unisys.com/upper_air/skew/ (Unisys Corp., 2005).
- Click on the map location that is closest to where you are.
- Sounding data is taken twice a day for each station, at noon and midnight.
- At the Unisys Weather site, data is available for a 36-hour time window: the current sounding, plus the last the three soundings. This means that you will have to go online and print out the sounding data within one day of the snowfall event!
- See the Introduction for instructions on reading the sounding plot. Further information is available online (Unisys Corp., 1998; Unisys Corp., 2001; Millersville University LEAD Undergraduates, date unknown).
- Is there a relationship between the temperature in the lower troposphere at the time nearest to the snowfall and the snow depth:liquid depth ratio? To find out, make graphs of snow:liquid ratio (y-axis) vs. atmospheric temperature for different pressures.

In the eastern interior of France, just north of Lyon, lies one of the most underrated wine regions of the world, but many wine lovers would not know that.
This has mostly to do with the horrible reputation that the area has obtained through its one brilliant marketing stroke 'Beaujolais Nouveau'. The idea behind this wine was fully realized by the George Duboeuf winery (the biggest producer in that part of France) as a quick way to get rid of excess grape juice and to realize cash flow as the grapes of 'the new Beaujolais' are harvested in September and are on store shelves in late November. This recipe hardly makes for exceptional, thought provoking wines… but rather slightly alcoholic grape juice meant to be quaffed - as quickly as possible.
The grape of Beaujolais is Gamay Noir… lighter bodied, red fruited and relatively high in natural acidity, not to mention rather lower alcohol levels. This is at the basement level of the Beaujolais hierarchy but when you taste the same wine from old vines and from one of the better sites of the area, and if you were able to match that with a good vintage (2009/2010 came to mind) a totally different wine emerges… red and black fruit, medium weight with a sense of savory tension that would match a number of foods: roasted chicken, grilled pork or mushroom dishes.
And these wines can age; they will become, in 6 to 8 years (in a cool cellar), perfect imitations of red Burgundies (their slightly northern cousins made from Pinot Noir). There are numerous of the best producers in Beaujolais who have in their cellars, wines that are 20, 30 or even 50 years old, and they are perfect examples that the Gamay grape ages impressively well. But as opposed to having paid $30 to $50 for the Burgundies, first class Cru Beaujolais will only have cost roughly half of that.
So what is this 'Cru Beaujolais'? At the top of the Beaujolais pyramid are the ten Crus. These are the best areas, with mostly old vines, perfect sun exposure, the best soils and a proven track record. The wines are almost entirely made in the traditional way, with some aging in oak. The best of the ten are Moulin a Vent, Morgon and Brouilly… and they would be labeled as such: the best producers never put Beaujolais on their labels. Below the Crus, comes Beaujolais Village, then Beaujolais Superior, then just Beaujolais, before finally ending with the 'Nouveau'.
At the lower levels of the Beaujolais pyramid the wines are made with a technique know as carbonic maceration… which makes overtly fruity wines with no oak influence. These are the wines that people most often identify as 'real' Beaujolais. Sometimes these wines are fun to drink, but they certainly do not possess the nuances and/or gravitas of the traditionally made wines, which are aged in mostly older barrels… and these are mostly the Cru wines.
In summation, here is one of the real red wine bargains of the Old World and if a light to medium bodied food wine is required, and in addition one that has a reliable record of aging, the Beaujolais Cru wines are a great option with lots of versatility.

OURAY – Get ready for "Ueli fever." The famous Swiss rock climber and mountaineer Ueli Steck, nicknamed the "Swiss Machine" for his precision and efficiency, is coming to the 19th Annual Ouray Ice Festival, Jan. 9-12, 2014.
Steck will teach a clinic or two, put on an evening presentation at the Ouray Community Center, and most likely compete in the Elite Mixed Climbing Competition and Hari Berger Speed Comp.
Ouray Ice Park, Inc., the nonprofit organization that oversees the Ouray Ice Park and puts on the annual Ice Fest, is still reeling from the news. "We have been working on trying to get Ueli to the Ouray Ice Festival for the last three years," said OIPI Board President Mike MacLeod. "Getting Ueli Steck at our event is a coup of epic proportions. The best analogy I can think of is if we were planning a music festival in Ouray, we just booked U2!"
In the world of alpine climbing where amazing feats are being accomplished on a regular basis, Steck, 38, is still in a league of his own. He has won the Piolet d'Or, the Eiger and Karl Unterkircher awards, and holds numerous speed and solo records, including the fastest ascent of the formidable north face of Eiger in 2008.
Steck's 2005 Khumbu-Express Expedition earned him the title of one of the three best alpinists in Europe from the magazine Climb.
"And his recent solo climb of the South Face of Annapurna is otherworldly," MacLeod said. "I doubt that there is a climber in the world who does not know who Ueli Steck is."
Steck summited the treacherous 8,091 meter Annapurna, the 10th highest peak in the world and one of the most difficult to climb, without ropes and oxygen just last month, completing the round trip from advanced base camp to summit and back in just 28 hours.
The feat "stunned" the mountaineering world, according to PlanetMountain.com.
It also helped quell the media frenzy over Steck's well-publicized fight with a group of Sherpas on an Everest expedition in late April 2013. Steck and two climbing partners committing a perceived breach of climbing etiquette on the Lhotse Face – free climbing near a small team of Sherpas fixing rope for another expedition, and allegedly knocking ice onto them. When they returned to camp later that day, they were assaulted by a large group of angry Sherpas. Steck sustained injuries severe enough that he spent the night in a hospital, and pulled the plug on the expedition.
The issue highlighted the tension roiling for years between commercial and independent climbing on Mt. Everest, and the complicated, often strained relationships between westerners and Nepalis on the iconic, dangerous mountain.
"I cannot erase what happened on Everest," Steck said in an interview with Redbull.com after his recent Annapurna conquest. "It will always be in my mind. But with this ascent of Annapurna I feel I can now move on. The fire inside me is back!"
Steck is coming to Ouray courtesy of sponsors Petzl and Mountain Hardware. He is just one of five sponsored athletes who will be offering evening presentations at the 19th annual Ouray Ice Festival.
Other presenters include Adrian Ballinger, a well-known guide on Everest at the time of Steck's embittered Sherpa encounter; young climbing rock star Kyle Dempster presenting his film The Road from Karakol; Wyoming climber Aaron Mulkey (aka Mr. Cody) presenting a multimedia show about his recent Norway expedition, Project Strata; and budding alpinist Kristin Kelliher, who two years ago, at age 17, became the youngest female to summit the 50 high points of the U.S.
The Ouray Ice Park has again partnered with San Juan Mountain Guides to provide interactive climbing clinics and seminars for the 2014 Ouray Ice Festival; online clinic registration opens this Thursday, Nov. 14 at 8 a.m. on SJMG's website, mtnguide.net.
A total of 90 unique, informative, cutting-edge ice and mixed climbing clinics and seminars are offered this year, with a balanced mix of courses for beginning, intermediate and advanced climbers. Most clinics take place right in the Ice Park, but a handful of backcountry skiing and climbing options are also available.
Half-day clinics cost $59 per person; full-day seminars cost $109 per person; and backcountry ice/ski seminars cost $159 per person.
"What really stands out about the clinics this year is the incredible variety of topics we have to offer," said SJMG owner Nate Disser. "Without speaking in too much hyperbole, it really is the most unique and diverse clinic schedule in the country, if not North America."
One standout offering this year is a clinic offered by renowned Ridgway-based climber Steve House, associated with his new book, Training for the New Alpinism, which will be published before the Ice Festival gets underway.
Well-known climbers including Conrad Anker and Vince Anderson will also have offerings, as will Steck.
"Even if you have a ton of experience, you can learn something from one of those athletes," Disser said. "Or, if you are a total never-ever, you can still come and learn how to ice climb."
The psych is high for the 2014 Ouray Ice Festival. "It's going to be one of the best Ice Fests ever," Disser said. "There is a great list of athletes, clinics, and speakers."
And, he added, it should be an epic year for backcountry ice climbing, too. The ice is already coming in thick and fat on classic backcountry routes in the area such as Ribbon, Bird Brain Boulevard and Talisman, thanks to a record monsoon season that stretched well into September.

"The Crying Game"
Date Range:
01/01/1961 To 07/06/2009
When was younger I wasn't serious enough about relationships, and then I took some time to re-evaluate and ended up becoming too serious about relationships. I have a hard time keeping things casual, but I guess that's where things are looking now. By serious I mean that I would try my best to envision everything in the long term and make all sorts of concessions and compromises to extend a relationship. This was wrong for several reasons. The first most obvious one being that it assumes my significant other feels the same way, and is able to rationalize their actions and identify how they would affect me. The second being that when I am willing to make so many compromises, consciously or not, the other will perceive me as a push over. Thirdly, it makes me into a very boring person.
My natural state is not absolute compromise. I'm not exactly super difficult either, but I think I lean more towards the heavily opinionated and stubborn side. If you can't convince me that you have a valid argument or reason for things you do or things that I should do, then it's not worth doing. While I am able to be very aware of my emotional and psychological state, I don't always choose to tap into that side of me. But when I do, emotions become excessive. Not that there's anything wrong with being emotional, but once I've pinpointed the origin of what me or someone else is feeling, it's time to move on. You're having a bad day because your boss shit on you, your shoe lace broke and you spilled your coffee? Great. Get over it and stop taking out your frustration on everyone around you.
I guess this ties in with people constantly making excuses for their actions. We got a new-hire recently, actually an old acquaintance of mine [he didn't get the job through me though]. My initial reaction when I found out he was hired was not a good one. All I could remember about him was that he would sneak out the back door of the classroom so he could get lunch early. That's my sole memory of him, because beyond that I chose to have no interaction with him. Just before him becoming a co-worker, I'd run into him at a party. He was extremely talkative and friendly, very in-your-face. He seemed likable enough. I gave him a shot, brushing away my distasteful impression as the ignorant arrogance of youth. Boy was I wrong. He talks all the time. All talk. He constantly makes mistakes and tiny errors at work. Granted it's a retail pharmacy, so these mistakes are anything but serious, but they get on everyone's nerves. When I point out his mistakes at the bosses direction he just blows a lot of smoke up my ass and tries to explain away. I don't need your excuses, just fix and change your ways.
This post has swollen larger than I'd planned, so I might as well continue.
I've been writing again. I always start off full steam and shoot off a couple of pages, then lose interest. It's been more convenient because I've been able to type it out on my phone. The only problem is that since I have no data plan, there's no way for me to access the file and move it to my computer. Blah Blah, boring stuff.
Back to the interesting stuff. Sex, dating and relationships. Cinco de Mayo I -surprise- got drunk. We'd been drinking at someone's place, and had a long walk back to my apartment. Drinking in small groups makes you suddenly just see everyone in their best light and love everyone, and want to tell them so. Eventually I brought up the fact that I was still hung up on my last ex. It didn't last long, but it was intense. It lasted about 7 or 8 months, but by the 2nd month we'd moved in together. When we finally broke up [I got dumped], it had been agreed that we both wanted to eventually get back together. My main condition was that if he wanted to come back to me, he could not be with anyone during that break period. A little unfair, I know, but since he wanted to break up, I felt that it's only fair that if he wants another chance he needs to consider it fully, and be serious. He said that it would be okay for me to see other people, but he would just like to know.
We broke up mid April, hooked up near the end of July, and since then I haven't seen him. At first he still owed me close to $500 for when I paid some bills for him [despite the fact that I was jobless for about half of our relationship], in addition, he had a bunch of my hard copy photos, a hat, and a stuffed animal I bought with my own money at the age of 5. In short, stuff that has absolutely no resale value and he has no reason to keep. These were the main reasons I kept in contact and friendly terms with him.
That and the obvious desire for booty calls. I guess that's a biological hurdle that guys seldom overcome, the desire to sleep with everyone and anyone, and the mentality that they will allow things just to keep people in doable range. Anyway, he did pay me back the money [which I could have taken at any time because I have internet access to his bank account, but didn't because I'm sometimes a decent person]. But I digress.
Anyway, Cinco de Mayo, I drunk texted him, and found out that he had been seeing someone since August, and they had only just recently broken up. That was a huge shock to me, because this was the absolute dealbreaker for me. Yeah, I'm still hung up on him, but knowing that he had no intention to get back with me would have helped me recuperate sooner. I keep getting over him in stages, baby steps. Everytime I think I've made a huge improvement, I just realize how deeply I was into him. He then asked me if I had "dated" anyone since we broke up. I said no. I HAVE been with two people since January, but that's not exactly dating, so it's not lying. I didn't want him to know because I wanted to a) it's not really any of his business anymore b) I think it would hurt him and c) i want to keep his idea of me pristine. While we both have been with other people, I had clearly stated that I did not want to be with him if he had been with someone else. A little unfair, I know, but I had many so many concessions I felt I was allowed one unfair condition. What bothers me is that he willfully kept it from me. He had been flirting with me for a while still, saying how much he missed me, and how good I had been to him.
Anyway, now a guy that i have been dating up with for about 2 months has suddenly announced his status as "in a relationship". I'm not exactly sure what that means. Part me wants to think that he put that up because he is going to be exclusive with me, regardless of what I do. The more pragmatic and realistic part of me knows that he was seeing at least one other guy, and that maybe they made it work. I was already thinking of ending our situation because even if I don't want to be in a relationship, it's hard for me to share someone physically and emotionally with other people, but I guess that's what "dating" or anything other than a relationship means. Anyway, end of boring post.

2201 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411537.789907 -122.434217
Neighborhoods: Pacific Heights, North
A family-run empire of cafe-shops that's been brewing caffeinated beverages since 1963. – In Short
Honey-colored oak and leaded glass give a homey touch to this California-based chain of specialty coffeehouses. Commonly referred to as the Bean, this purveyor of high-end blends--from dark roasts to oolongs--built its reputation on the international scope of its seasonal bean offerings (originating from Yemen to Hawaii) and a highly diversified selection of teas. Pastries encourage patrons to sit; espresso makers, French presses and coffee grinders let folks bring it home.
The coffee extract tastes like mud. Mocha mudslide tastes like mud! These people don't use syrup they use a disgusting powder. It's like fat powder. They are NOT kosher BTW.
consistent, friendly, good! – As good a cappuccino as I've had anywhere in the US - and consistently good, from all of the barristas who've served me - which makes CB&TL (at least this location) unique among chains.
(Note to Peet's fans - CB&TL is a lighter roast than Peet's uses - de gustibus, etc.)
Best Coffeehouse Chain in the World! – This place knows coffee! It has it all...great products, atmosphere, well-trained staff, and attitude! My only complaint is that they don't have more locations. There are two in SF now. The other is on Market St. Their chocolate and vanilla powders are what set their flavored drinks apart from the rest.
Ice Blendeds – Their ice blended drinks are to die for! No other coffee company even can compare to theirs to these. Delicious!!
Trendy and Laid back – I admit, I was one of those pretentious kind that always hung at the local Starbucks, but no more!
The Coffe Bean location at Filmore and Sacramento is very busy because of both streets having a local bus stop. Its very interesting just drinking some coffee and watching all the young and old trendy people walking in and walking by families with their dogs...
10 – Try the mocha latte with soymilk, then you'll know why coffe bean is the best cafe in town.
fat free and great! – Have the fat-free blended coffee drinks. Worth the calories just walk fast on your way home!

13 Fool-Proof Ways to Get Happier
You can learn to be happy—even in the worst of times—with these research-based strategies.
The pursuit of happiness may feel futile at times, especially as we've watched our 401(k)s and house values tank. How can we truly feel happy when life gets tough? U.S. News posed this question to leading happiness researchers to find out what strategies we can employ to stay upbeat. While it's true that some lucky folks are born with sunny dispositions, others, according to a growing body of research, can learn to be happy. How? "We need to move away from the concept of trying to fill our days with frequent pleasurable moments and fewer negative moments," explains Todd Kashdan, a professor of positive psychology at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., and author of Curious? Discover the Missing Ingredient to a Fulfilling Life. "What truly provides satisfaction is having a meaning and purpose in life, which is doubly important in the midst of this current economic nightmare." Here are 13 other secrets:
1. Spend $20 on an experience rather than an item. A 2009 study from San Francisco State University backs this up: When researchers asked 154 men and women ages 19 to 50 to recall how they felt after recent purchases using discretionary income, they found that money spent on theater tickets, ski trips, and fine dining brought more pleasure than dollars spent on designer jeans, diamonds, and the latest cellphone. "Wonderful experiences remind us of the thrill of being alive, whereas purchasing something inevitably leads to comparisons," says Ryan Howell, the author of the study and an assistant professor of psychology at SFSU. "You love your 27-inch plasma until you see your friend's 60-inch one."
2. Pursue meaningful life goals. Having life aspirations that you're working to achieve is a major factor in determining happiness, says Sonja Lyubomirsky, a professor of psychology at the University of California-Riverside and author of The How of Happiness. Doing things for the sole purpose of improving wealth, gaining fame, or improving your personal appearance probably won't do much to enhance life satisfaction because, like new possessions, they bring only temporary joy, she adds. Her research has shown that the goals associated with positive feelings are attainable, involve personal growth, and have some intrinsic value. "In today's economy, you probably need to be flexible about your goals and adjust them if need be," she says. An unemployed stockbroker, for example, may find new fulfillment teaching at a business school.

3. Be open to what's happening right now, in the moment. Even if you're facing massive credit card debt or a mortgage payment you're not going to be able to make, try to examine your situation with a sense of neutral observation. "These are, of course, negative events, and you should expect to have negative thoughts when you go through them," says Kashdan. "But you should also cultivate an open and curious attitude where you direct your attention to what's happening without making judgments on yourself or the situation." Certainly, you need to implement solutions, but when you start to brood—How could I have been so careless in my spending?—treat the anxious thought like uncomfortable conversation, thanking your mind for the comment and moving on to other, more pleasant topics.
4. Nurture meaningful relationships. They come in especially handy when you can't quiet those negative thoughts. "Happy people are open to the idea of sharing their experiences and emotions with others," Kashdan says. In fact, those who report leading meaningful (aka joyful) lives nearly always have meaningful relationships to go along with them. What's more, a study published in 2008 in the British Medical Journal found that surrounding yourself with cheerful individuals can make you feel happier, too. "It doesn't matter if you have 3,000 Facebook friends or two close buddies," he says. "You only need to have that sense of belonging or acceptance." And it's when you're in a crisis that friends often prove how much you really matter to them. "You may be pleasantly surprised to see how many people are there for you when you're not your usual funny, witty, or playful self," Kashdan says.

I don't know if you've heard of this program, but it's an online degree offered through the Sophia Centre for the Study of Cosmology in Culture.
The Master of Arts in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology is normally completed in two years full-time (one year for the six modules, followed by the dissertation) or up to four years part-time.
There is no residency requirement, because it's all online, including seminars and Skype conversations with tutors. Students work from home; in my case, I work from home starting at 5:45 a.m. on mornings of one of my lectures, because courses are taught from England, which is 8 hours GMT ahead of Seattle. Time differences prove the concept of linearity, as far as I'm concerned, but I digress.
I wanted to let you know that I am currently enrolled to complete this program sometime in 2016, by which time my dissertation (what I would call a thesis, at 15,000 words) is due. In that time, I am taking courses taught by internationally-renowned historian and astrologer Nicholas Campion, whom I pretty much idolise. Other courses are taught by Bernadette Brady, who is a wonderfully generous scholar and astrologer.
Courses are further supported by tutors who assist Bernadette and Nick, and who seem to exist like protective cherubic angels, standing behind each student to make sure we don't fail. There's a lot to learn and as we go, I want to encourage anyone who reads this blog to contact me if you have any interest in knowing more about the program from my perspective as a student.
However, I am also taking specific classes and am in the process of forming a plan for a qualitative research study about crystals, rocks, stones, and amulets, and if anyone has any interest in being interviewed about having owned a crystal, rock, stone, or other form of amulet, please let me know. If you're curious about why I'm doing a qualitative analysis about this subject, then you might also be curious about the MA program in general, so here's a link for you to find out more.
Meanwhile, I will most definitely be continuing to write up my Nodal Series, so don't give up hope. I am working on it over time, and there's no deadline, per se.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Final Ep:
end of spoilers
So, Rikka became the wielder of the Wicked Eye after watching Yuuta? I should have expected that. Also, I agree with Yuuta concerning Dekomori. Speaking of Dekomori, I wonder how she and Rikka met. I mean, given all the hints, it looks like Dekomori and people like the rest of the cast are on two different levels.
Also, seeing Kumin doing something- besides sleep- was kinda cool.
I'm ambivalent towards the ending, though.
end of spoilers
It was touching in a way, but I still felt cheated. There better be an OVA with Yuuta going full Dark Flame, or I might rage.

The Research Process
Picking a Topic
Before you can begin writing a paper or speech, you must pick a subject to research. Sometimes your instructor will have assigned a topic for you. However, if you have to pick your own topic, here are some tips:
Make sure you know what your professor wants. Is this paper a brief introduction, or an in-depth analysis? Are you trying to inform, or to persuade someone of your opinion?
Choose a topic that interests you. Ideally, this would be a subject that you would like to learn more about. You will have to spend a good deal of time thinking about the subject you pick you might as well enjoy it.
- No ideas come to mind? Try skimming your textbook for something which catches you eye. If you have to write about a current issue, try reading through recent newspapers or magazines for ideas.
Gathering Background Information
When you have a general idea of a topic in mind, you should start looking for introductory information. When you don't know much about a subject, you will want to start by gathering background material. The best place to begin is the Reference area. Try some of the following sources.
General Encyclopedias The JSCC Library has several sets of general encyclopedias which provide information about most topics, including World Book, Encyclopedia Americana, Academic American Encyclopedia, and The New Encyclopedia Britannica.
Subject Encyclopedias For more coverage about specific topics, try looking at subject encyclopedias such as Encyclopedia of Bioethics, Encyclopedia of Marriage and the Family, and Encyclopedia of African American Culture and History. For help in locating appropriate subject encyclopedias, ask a member of the library staff for assistance.
CQ Researcher (Ref H35.E35) This is a publication which provides in-depth coverage of one current issue topic each week.
Issues and Controversies (Ref H1.I88) Similar to CQ Researcher, providing information on hotly debated issues. Also available online from the library's Databases Web page.
Biographical Sources These are works that give brief information about people's lives. Some examples are Current Biography or Great Lives from History.
Focusing Your Topic
After you have learned a little bit about your overall subject, you should start to think about the exact topic you want to focus on. Your topic shouldn't be too broad, or you will be faced with mountains of information much of which is not helpful. For example, the subject of gambling is too general. One way to help you narrow down a topic is to put it in the form of a question. You could focus on a specific aspect of gambling, such as:
How has Indian gambling changed life on the reservations?
How do Americans feel about gambling?
Is compulsive gambling an uncontrollable disease?
Does gambling benefit state and local economies?
What is the history of gambling?
Now, isolate the key words and/or phrases associated with the question you wrote. Generally, you will not have much luck if you put an entire quotation in one of the computer indexes. Instead, you want to put in only the really important terms. You may also need to think of multiple ways of wording things. Many words have synonyms, or broader or narrower terms that could also be used. If you were doing a paper on a topic relating to teenagers, the word adolescents might have been used instead of teenagers.
For example, if you were focusing on the question "How do Americans feel about gambling? you should first break it down into the major concepts:
Americans and gambling and feel
Then, you may need to think of other words or phrases for each concept.
Americans and gambling and feel
Or or or
America casinos opinions
Or or or
American lotteries views
United States
Many times, you will be able to brainstorm and create these lists of words/phrases yourself. If you can't, the JSCC Library has a series of books, The Library of Congress Subject Headings, which can help you. These books are located in the Data Center, and list broader terms, narrower terms, and related terms for any topic you look up. When you begin your next step of finding information, you may need to refer back to the various words and phrases you listed.
Finding Other Material
Now that you know something about the topic you want to research, it is time to look for information. The type of resources you need will vary, depending on the subject matter, and on your professor's restrictions. Some teachers will require that you use a specific type of source. For instance, a professor may require that you use only scholarly journals. Periodical articles generally fall into one of two categories: scholarly journals or popular magazines.
Scholarly journals are concerned with academic study, especially research. The articles are generally written by experts in the field, and use language of the field. The average reader may not be able to follow all the discussion some background in the subject on the part of the reader is assumed. They generally have a "serious" look no photographs or color. They often contain many graphs and charts. Most articles will have extensive bibliographies at the end. Examples of scholarly journals are The Journal of the American Medical Association, Research in Higher Education, and Journal of Southern History.
Popular magazines are written in a language that anyone can understand. The articles are often written by staff writers, and very rarely cite sources. Articles tend to be shorter as well. Examples of popular magazines are Sports Illustrated, Ebony, Time, and Redbook.
Periodical articles are only one type of source. On the next two pages are descriptions of some resources you might need, and how to locate them:
Type of source

- Taking Sides - a series of books containing argumentative essays about controversial topics. The books and the index to the series are located in the book stacks (H35.T35)
- Illustrating a point
- Finding facts to back up an opinion
Reference books, such as:
- Statistical Abstract of the United States (Ref HA202.A385)
- A Matter of Fact (Ref AG5.M37)
- Tennessee Statistical Abstract (Ref HA641.T43)
- Accident Facts (Ref HA217.A4)
- Statistical Handbook on Adolescents in America (Ref HQ796.S8237)
- Crime in the United States (Ref HV6787.A3)
- Digest of Education Statistics (Ref L111.A6)
- Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics (Ref HD8051.A63)
- Historical Statistics of the United States (Ref HA202.B87)
- Agricultural Statistics (in the Agriculture Documents collection)
Evaluating Information
Now that you have located information on your topic, you should decide if the material is valid. Just because you found the information in a library does not mean that it is necessarily accurate, appropriate, or timely. Some of the criteria you should use to evaluate a source include the following:
Questions to Ask
How to Find Answers
How important is it?
- Is the author an expert in this field?
- Has he/she used reliable sources for their information?
- Look for biographical information about the author in the book jacket, or beginning or end of a journal article.
- Check the bibliography to determine if their sources are reliable
- Depends on the requirements your instructor has stated. If they have asked for "professional sources" only, then it s crucial.
- Does the author have political or religious beliefs which would cause a biased interpretation of the topic?
- Look to see if the source is published by an organization that is pushing a particular agenda.
- You can still use "biased" sources, especially if you re doing a persuasive speech or paper, but you should be aware when reading that the author is only presenting one side of the issue. If you need a more balanced viewpoint, check other sources out.
- When was the source published or updated?
- Look at the back of a book s title page. If the source is a periodical, the date should be given on the cover. If it is a web site, look at the bottom of the page. If no date is given on a web page, there is no way to know when it was last updated.
- If you are researching a "current issue" topic, this is crucial. You wouldn't want to write a paper about cloning, with sources from 10 years ago. However, if you are writing a history paper, this is not important. You may even want some sources written from a different time period to illustrate a different way of looking at an issue or person.

At about 11:05 a.m. Wednesday Reno Police Department officers and medical personnel responded to the 3200 block of Lakeside Avenue regarding a 2-year-old not breathing. Upon arrival officers found the child unresponsive and REMSA immediately transported him to a local hospital for treatment. The 19-month-old child was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
Child Abuse and Homicide Detectives responded to the scene and continued the investigation. It was learned the mother of the child went to work that morning and her boyfriend, Jackson, was left to babysit and care for the child. At about 11 a.m. Jackson asked another tenant at the apartments to assist with the child as the child was "cold and not breathing." Detectives interviewed all involved parties and no arrests were immediately made pending an autopsy.
The autopsy was performed Thursday and it was learned the child suffered numerous internal injuries from blunt force trauma. Jackson was interviewed again Thursday and was arrested for one count of open murder. He is being held in the Washoe County Jail without bail.
Anyone having information relating to this crime or the suspect should contact the Reno Police Department at 334-2115, Secret Witness at 322-4900, report online at www.secretwitness.com or text a tip to 847-411, keyword "SW."
