Python is a high-level, multi-paradigm programming language that is both easy to learn and useful in a wide variety of applications. Python has a large standard library as well as a large number of third-party extensions, most of which are completely free and open source. We highly recommend using the module to access Python, as we have added a lot of Python modules and tuned them to perform well on our systems.
Python is available on the Oakley and Glenn clusters.
* - Default version
To run the Python interpreter using the default system-level Python installation, simply type the command "
python". On Glenn, the default version used is 2.4.3. On Oakley, the default version used is 2.6.6.
Each system also has a Python 2.7.1 module. To load this module, type one of the following commands depending on which system you are using.
On Glenn, type:
module load python-2.7.1
On Oakley, type:
module load python/2.7.1
After the module is loaded, you can run the interpreter by using the command
Installed modules
We have installed a number of Python modules and tuned them for optimal performance on our systems. Executing
module help python will show you the current list.
setuptools, readline, bitarray, cloud, configobj, coverage, docutils, enstaller, epydoc, grin, html5lib, jinja2, nose, paramiko, ply, Crypto, pygarrayimage, pyglet, pygments, OpenSSL, pyparsing, pyproj, serial, dateutil, pytz, sphinx, sqlalchemy, xlrd, xlwt, scons, ldap, _mysql, numpy, scipy, pexpect, zope.interface, twisted, foolscap, wx, sip, PyQt4, matplotlib, zmq, IPython, PIL, reportlab, cython, numexpr, tables, argparse
Of special note is the fact that numpy and scipy have been compiled to use the optimized math libraries for each system (ACML on Glenn, MKL on Oakley) for best performance.
Due to architecture differences between our supercomputers, we recommend not installing your own packages in
~/.local. Instead, you should install them in some other directory and set
$PYTHONPATH in your default environment. For more information about installing your own Python modules, please see our HOWTO.
Running Python Scripts in Batch
Python can technically be used in both interactive and non-interactive batch jobs, but you will most likely only want to run a Python script non-interactively. To do this, you will need to write a batch submission script and a Python script.
Below is a sample batch submission script and a simple "Hello World" program written in Python.
Example batch submission script,
#PBS –N hello
#PBS –l nodes=1:ppn=1
#PBS –l walltime=1:00:00
#PBS –j oe
module load python/2.7.1
python hello.py
#end of sample.job
Example Python script,
import sys
hello = ["Hello", "World"]
for i in hello:
print i
#end of hello.py
For more information about using the batch system, see Batch Processing at OSC.

So a few days ago I finally decided to byte the bullet and sign up to donate blood. I wasn't going to donate unless if I was able to do it first thing in the morning, mainly because I had tests, in my last two classes.
Anyways, I was little bit nervous that I'd pass out or something like that, the main reason why I waited over 6 months to give blood. So yesterday was the day to donate blood. I woke up, ate a waffle and drank a glass of milk. Rushed off to school and just made it on time by the skin of my teeth! I hide my book bag and laptop, went down to the office to check-in (as I don't have a class block 1), and then went to donate blood.
First, I had to look over a book which basically said if you have any type of disease or illness don't bother to donate, turn around and go back. After reading the book, I checked in, and then sat down to wait for my turn. When I was called, they took my blood pressure, temperature, checked my iron count, etc… standard stuff. Lastly I had to take a test to make sure I could donate blood. The test asked if you were out of the country, had this or that medications, etc…
So I passed the "test" and I was ready to go. I had to wait for a few minutes for a bed to become available. The nurse who took my blood was very nice. She asked me if I had an arm preference and how I was doing. She put iodine on my arm, found my vein, and stuck me with the needle. I was off. She asked me how I was feeling and I said I was fine. My friend was talking to me and everything was going well. He then went to entertain someone else. Again the nurse asked me if I was feeling alright, I said yes, and then she told me that I was half way done.
Shortly after being told I was half way done, I started to feel a bit strange. I didn't think much of it. The strange feeling got worse rather quickly. I was starting to feel lightheaded. As the nurse told me to let her know if I didn't feel, I did just that. Right after I told her I wasn't feeling well and that I was light headed, I got extremely dizzy and started to blackout. The nurse lowered the bed and raised my feet up (I guess this helps). The put cold wet rags on me and I eventually recovered. From what I was told I was very pale. I probably laid on the bed for about 20-30 minutes afterward. I eventually got up and went to get some sugar (cookies, chips) and fluid (water + coke). While I was eating I got sick to my stomach and I had to use the bathroom. Of course that had to have someone escort me to the bathroom to make sure I didn't pass-out or anything like that.
I went back to the gym and stayed there until lunch. I missed my government class and homeroom. I went to donate at 8:00am and didn't leave until 11:00am. I felt pretty shitty until about 2:00pm. However, I felt fine the rest of the day. Needless to say it was an interesting experience. I plan on trying again, but drinking a lot more before I donate, and having the bed put into a bed position before I start.

LSU scored all of its runs in the first inning off of Alabama starter Charley Sullivan and sent the Crimson Tide to the losers' bracket 3-0 at the Hoover Met.
Seventh-seeded Alabama (33-25) will play No. 6 seed Ole Miss in Thursday's 9:30 a.m. elimination game. Ole Miss lost 2-1 to Arkansas in 10 innings earlier Wednesday.
LSU (49-8), the tournament's No. 2 seed, will play No. 3 seed Arkansas at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Alabama, which entered the SEC tourney at No. 28 in the Boyd's World pseudo RPI, is trying to make the best showing possible in Hoover, hoping to improve its seeding in the NCAA tournament. The field will be announced Monday.
"They did more to win the game and to beat us today," Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard said. "We'll regroup and come back ready for tomorrow."
LSU took its 3-0 lead on its first at-bat. Sean McMullen led off with a single and reached third base on an error then scored on Mark Laird's sacrifice grounder. LSU also scored on Raph Rhymes' grounder and Christian Ibarra's single, after Alex Bregman doubled and Mason Katz walked.
Two Alabama miscues helped the LSU rally. Rhymes' chopper between home plate and the mound drew Alabama catcher Brett Booth from behind the plate, and Bregman took advantage, rounding third and charging home to an undefended plate.
"It was just a little miscommunication between me and Brett," Sullivan said. "I think we both called it at the same time, and he just got to it first. We weren't thinking about him (Bregman) coming all the way home, but he's an aggressive base runner.
"We got the out at first, and then me and Booth were both kind of standing there, not covering home plate."
Tide left-fielder Andrew Miller misplayed McMullen's single down the line. It rolled to the fence, allowing McMullen to reach third base.
"Obviously, we were sloppy there, and they put some good swings on us, too, right there," Gaspard said.
LSU starter Cody Glenn (7-2) got the win, allowing five hits and no walks with two strikeouts in seven innings before giving way to Nick Rumbelow.
"Tip your hat to LSU and, particularly, Cody Glenn today," Gaspard said. "I thought he was outstanding. He changed speeds and moved the ball around, and we couldn't get any real good swings off.
"When we did have a couple of opportunities, we hit a couple of balls at them, and they played clean."
Chris Cotton worked a perfect ninth inning for his 13th save.
"It was a well-played game, I thought, by both teams, and it was a well-pitched game by both teams," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said. "I tip my hat to Charley Sullivan.
"We had a nice first inning against him, and it looked like we could have a big day. He regrouped and pitched like the great competitor that he really is. I have a lot of respect for him."
Sullivan (5-6) settled down after the first inning and finished the game, allowing eight hits and walking two batters with three strikeouts over eight innings.
"It's one of those outings that may help you later in the tournament," Gaspard said. "He was able to go the distance and save the bullpen."
Gaspard said he will start Spencer Turnbull on Thursday against Ole Miss.
"We'll figure it out after that," Gaspard said. "Obviously, we've got to win tomorrow to stay in.
"I think the key for us right now is we want to let the weekend guys throw. It's Spencer's turn."

Comments about SKLZ Quickster Rep Net:
The idea is nice but terrible product. First, the base where it catches the ball and suppose to fall through the hole to the bucket, DON'T WORK. The base is too low to put the bucket under. The net starts to lean forward and starts to sag.

A nightmare is a bad dream that brings out strong feelings of fear, terror, distress, or anxiety.
Nightmares usually begin before age 10 and are most often considered a normal part of childhood. They tend to be more common in girls than boys. Nightmares may be triggered by seemingly routine events, such as starting at a new school, taking a trip, or a mild illness in a parent.
Nightmares may continue into adulthood. They can be just one way our brain has of dealing with the stresses and fears of everyday life. One or more nightmares over a short period of time may be caused by:
Nightmares may also be triggered by:
Repeated nightmares may also be a sign of:
Stress is a normal part of life. In small amounts, stress is good. It can motivate you and help you get more done. But too much stress can be harmful.
If you are under stress, ask for support from friends and relatives. Talking about what is on your mind can help.
Other tips include:
Try using relaxation techniques, such as guided imagery, listening to music, doing yoga, or meditating. With some practice, these techniques could help you reduce stress.
Listen to your body when it tells you to slow down or take a break.
Practice good sleep hygiene. Go to bed at the same time each night, and wake up at the same time each morning. Avoid long-term use of tranquilizers, as well as caffeine and other stimulants.
If your nightmares started shortly after you began taking a new medication, contact your health care provider. He or she will let you know whether to stop taking that medication.
For nightmares caused by the effects of "street drugs" or regular alcohol use, ask for advice from your doctor on the safest and most effective way to quit.
Contact your health care provider if:
Your health care provider will examine you and ask you questions. Next steps may include:

Glass roof tiles let a little sunshine in to cut heating bills
Article Summary
Swedish company, Soltech Energy, recently received the gold medal for this year's hottest new material at the Nordbygg 2010 trade fair in Stockholm. The award was fitting because it was for the company's home heating system that features roof tiles made out of glass. The tiles, which are made from ordinary glass, weigh about the same as the clay roof tiles they replace but allow the sun to heat air that is then used to heat the house and cut energy bills.

ISSUE: Kentucky tax amnesty
OUR VIEW: It's a gift from the rest of us
Those who are in arrears on Kentucky state taxes have just one more day to qualify for a "get out of jail free" card.
In case you have not heard, the state is offering limited amnesty to those who qualify and file before the close of business Friday.
At least 25 percent of taxes due must be paid up front and the rest in installments before May 31, but the state is forgoing some fees, penalties and interest for people who come clean.

Einstein Before Israel | By Ze'ev Rosenkranz | Princeton University Press | 364 pages, $35.00
In the 1920s, the general public began to assume a link between Albert Einstein's work and his wisdom: as his name became shorthand for genius, it began to evoke not just scientific greatness but a vast, wizardly vision that expressed itself in gnomic formulae. By the time a new generation of physicists was, for the most part, dismissing Einstein's search for a unified field theory, the world often hung on his opinions about everything else. For this reason Einstein was a golden asset for Zionists looking to widen their appeal. But to gain the public approval of the icon, Zionist leaders had to first deal privately with the man himself: an irreligious world traveler who distrusted nationalism, even as he nursed high hopes for the communal strength a Jewish nation might offer.
Ze'ev Rosenkranz's Einstein Before Israel is a story of these sorts of bifurcations—between public and private faces, between the ends and means of Zionism, and between naïve ideals and practical realities. Rosenkranz provides an excellent account of Einstein's ambivalent and often calculated ties with Zionism. However, the author's treatment of Zionism itself is somewhat skewed. Rosenkranz is apparently drawn to Einstein's complaints about Zionism as a way of expressing his own sense that "the Zionist vision had gone awry." His preface suggests as much, and throughout the book he underplays the fact that for Einstein—who was politically inexperienced—a measure of disenchantment with the actual business of Zionism was inevitable.
More impressive is Rosenkranz's fastidious and sympathetic discussion of how Einstein felt about his Jewish roots, starting with his early childhood in the 1880s. Like many rural Jewish families in Germany, Einstein's was intramarried with others, forming a kind of clan that shared both relatives and business ventures. When the Einsteins moved to Ulm and then Munich, they held onto these family bonds, but they left behind the traditional piety of their ancestors: Einstein's father Hermann is well known to have regarded Judaism as "ancient superstition," and faith had little to do with the sense of ethnic solidarity that both parents instilled in young Einstein. What mattered more, it seems, was the hostile German majority that surrounded him. Looking back on his childhood, Einstein described a "vivid sense of strangeness a quality based on one's descent not at all based merely on religious affiliation or certain idiosincracies of tradition." Anti-Semitism trailed him from primary school to Catholic secondary school, where, as Einstein tells it, the religious instruction teacher brandished a long nail, explaining that "this was the nail with which the Jews had crucified Jesus."
Einstein's one bout of religious feeling, at age eleven, was brief but telling. He called it a "first attempt to liberate myself from the shackles of the merely personal." The feeling was gone by age twelve, and there is no evidence that Einstein was bar mitzvahed. Rather, his coming of age was an awakening to science: knowledge was the "supreme goal," less comforting than piety but more "reliable." He also saw science as a universal alternative to the particulars of faith, nationality, ethnicity, and social class—all stifling aspects of the "merely personal."
At age seventeen, Einstein joined his family in Italy, and the immigration process gave him an opportunity to cast off these particulars of identity. He renounced his German citizenship, and instead of marking "Jewish" on his immigration papers, indicated he had no religious affiliation. He also left behind his social class, the Jewish bourgeoisie. He was glad to sever these ties to home, and later he would proudly call himself "a stranger everywhere."

We bought the dresser pictured for my daughter's room back in 2007 and it has not held up well. The feet on the front have broken and now it leans forward slightly and the drawers come out. Our attempts at obtaining new feet (leaving message after message) were ignored and we've largely given up. Their stuff is cute and everything else about the dresser has been good, but this experience has definitely soured me.
I would be happy to send you feet. I have poured through my email server to try to find any email related to you and your husband Mathew about broken feet. I certainly have record of your purchase but nothing after that. Broken dresser feet are one of the easier fixes we have. You can certainly reach us on our office phone or even better to is to email me directly at email@example.com . I would be happy to send you feet even after the warranty has expired.

Someone can upload the fix 3.41 for Child of Eden, because i can't download in rghost, please and thanks
Hi. I need proper fix for Marvel vs Capcom 3 DLC. HeroQ8 DLC pack is not compatible with Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3!
you definitely need a move controller for this one or you may have trouble passing the 1st stage.
I saw on demonisos that someone named SolidHades93 have done a Fix for Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition.. does someone tested it already? And if it works can we adopt it to get the single DLCs for the normal Game to work?
I've been waiting for this, I'd rather run it off of my first PS3's HDD rather than run it off of the disc on my other PS3.
Child.Of.Eden NPDRM type is 0a , not a 3.73 game, it is 3.55 NPDRM.

Once your baby gets a tooth, good dental care should begin. Clean your baby's teeth once a day with a soft, wet cloth. At 12 months of age, a small, soft toothbrush with water on it can be used. As your child gets older, a small dab of toothpaste can be used on the toothbrush. Consult your child's dentist regarding the best time for your child to begin using toothpaste.
Do not give your baby a bottle in bed to fall asleep. If your baby drinks from a bottle and then falls asleep, milk or juice will stay on the teeth and cause tooth decay.
Baby teeth are important. Teeth are needed to chew food and form sounds when talking. Baby teeth also save space in the mouth for permanent teeth, making it particularly important to take care of them.
A baby's first tooth usually appears between the ages of five and seven months. Some babies get their first tooth a little earlier and others a little later. Often, the two middle bottom teeth come through the gums first, followed by the middle four upper teeth. By the time children are 30 months (two and one-half years) of age, all 20 baby teeth are usually present.
Teething is the process of teeth moving and breaking through the gums. This is a normal developmental stage for your baby.
The following are the most common signs and symptoms of teething. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Signs and symptoms may include:
Teething does not cause colds, rashes, diarrhea, or fever, but it can make a baby uncomfortable. If your baby becomes sick around the same time teeth are coming in, or seems to be cranky or fussy for longer than normal, it is important to evaluate the symptoms of that illness independently of the teething. Call your child's doctor for advice if your baby is sick.
If your baby is cranky with teething, try giving him/her hard rubber toys, teething rings, or cold teething toys to chew on. Do not freeze teething toys or rings as these can hurt your baby's gums. You can also rub your baby's gum with your finger. Teething gels may not be helpful as they are quickly washed off if excessive drooling is present, which may cause the effect of the gels to be short-lived. Something cold on the gums usually soothes and numbs the gums better. Ask your baby's doctor about pain-relieving medications for teething.

On the NFL
6:42 PM CST, December 11, 2012
1. Patriots (3 last week): Step into Bill Belichick's web, Colin Kaepernick.
2. Broncos (2): They need to beat the Ravens to keep their hopes alive for a first round playoff bye.
3. Packers (7): Mike McCarthy believes this team can be better than the 15-1 Packers of a year ago. Can the Bears make him look wrong Sunday?
4. 49ers (6): Beating the Dolphins was one thing; beating the Patriots would be something else.
5. Texans (1): In three of their last four games, they have a blowout loss to the Patriots and close call victories over the Jaguars and Lions. Any question about which direction the Texans are headed?
6. Falcons (4): Was their loss to the Panthers a blip, or was it the start of a tailspin?
7. Giants (13): If NFL teams had no secondaries, the Giants would be No. 1.
8. Colts (8): The best teams can win games in different ways. The Colts have done that.
9. Ravens (5): The Ravens defense needs a savior. What do you know, here comes Ray Lewis.
10. Seahawks (10): They are starting to have the look of a team you would not want to be playing in January.
11. Redskins (12): You know things are going their way when Kirk Cousins can lead them to an overtime victory over a formidable opponent.
12. Bengals (9): Their litmus test will be against the Steelers in two weeks, but they can't look past the Eagles on Thursday.
13. Bears (11): The more passes Bears receivers drop, the more the Bears drop in the power rankings.
14. Cowboys (16): Could they ride a wave of emotion all the way to the postseason?
15. Vikings (17): They have the best one-dimensional offense in the NFL.
16. Steelers (14): Against the Raiders, Browns, Titans and Chargers, they are 0-4. Good thing their next two games are against contenders.
17. Rams (18): It's not saying much, but this is the best Rams team that St. Louis has seen in quite some time.
18. Jets (21): The fact that they may be a playoff team does not speak well to the quality of the AFC this year.
19. Buccaneers (15): Any team that can blow a 21-10 lead with four minutes left against the Eagles is not a good bet to be playing on Feb. 3. Or Jan. 20. Or Jan. 12, 13, 5 or 6.
20. Browns (24): If the season started three weeks ago, they would be a top five team.
21. Saints (19): Joe Vitt describes his team as "fragile." And the Giants did not handle with care.
22. Chargers (25): It might be too late to save jobs, but that was an impressive effort by Norv Turner and the Chargers Sunday.
23. Dolphins (20): Bad news: they have dropped five of six. Good news: Up next are the Jags and Bills at home.
24. Bills (22): Who needs to use C.J. Spiller when you are 5-8?
25. Panthers: (29): Cam Newton is starting to look like the 2011 version of Cam Newton. Where was this guy in September?
26. Lions (24): Their fifth straight loss has clinched them last place in the NFC North.
27. Eagles (30): Nick Foles has begun making his argument for why he should be the Eagles' staring QB in 2013.
28. Titans (27): The Titans can write off the season to the education of Jake Locker.
29. Raiders (28): It might be Terrelle Pryor time in Oakland.
30. Cardinals. (26): Fifty-eight points separated them from the Seahawks in their ninth straight loss. Change is coming in Arizona.
31. Jaguars (31): Look at the bright side, Jacksonville — only 19 days until it's the offseason.
32. Chiefs (32): Getting blown out by the Browns might not do much for team morale.

No Fear Parenting
No Fear Parenting
By Lea Stublarec
From One Parent
To Another
I am the mother of two adult gifted daughters as well as a social worker and parent coach. Currently I'm conducting a study of mothers of gifted daughters. So far, I've interviewed 26 mothers and 12 daughters and hope to finish the interviewing process in the next year or so. As part of this study, I'm trying to stay current with the latest "raising your gifted child" books, so I've read a number of books by various parenting experts. Despite the fact that I have two successful (depending on one's criteria) adult daughters, I often feel like a failure as a mom when I read about what I should've done or said differently--as if somehow I screwed up and did something wrong, or at least could have done a much better job. For example, I just finished reading Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn, which is a great book with an obviously very important message, but I certainly didn't follow his advice about the best ways to both praise and punish kids.
Unfortunately, it seems to me that, as parents of gifted children, in some ways we're like sitting ducks for parenting experts because the chances are pretty good that we also are gifted and, like many of our children, perfectionists. Most likely, we often find ourselves searching for knowledge and advice that will help us become the perfect parent. Therefore, I've been giving this some thought and wanted to share what I believe is a different and possibly more powerful approach to consider as parents of gifted children. First, it's critical that we, as mothers, internalize the truth that we can't do it wrong. To this point, Stephanie Tolan has written an article entitled (appropriately enough!) "You Can't Do It Wrong" that was targeted to parents of the profoundly gifted, but its message may be relevant to parents of all gifted children.
We'll have an opportunity to learn from our mistakes, because Tolan feels that even when we try our level best to do things exactly right out of the very best of intentions, we sometimes do harm anyway.
We'll have an opportunity to learn from our mistakes, because Tolan feels that even when we try our level best to do things exactly right out of the very best of intentions, we sometimes do harm anyway.
As a result, you can drive yourself crazy trying to be the perfect parent, because there's no way to absolutely avoid doing harm (especially when raising gifted kids with special needs in an often unsupportive environment). I've certainly found this to be true with my own children because, on those rare occasions when we discuss their childhood, the things I look back on as my biggest errors are things they don't even remember . . . while the incidents they bring up as pretty traumatic, I swear never happened.
In addition, Tolan goes on to state that maybe doing harm is not as horrible as we might think. Although it's not easy to watch your child get hurt or experience pain or stress, we can't save our children from all pain, and it wouldn't help them if we could. We are living in a society, as Tolan points out, where the message is that pain is something no one should have to endure—like we have an inalienable right to be pain-free. However, as we all know only too well, no life is without pain, and in many cases, pain often provides a powerful growth experience. In fact, in studies of eminent people, one common thread from their childhood is that most of them experienced significant trauma growing up. For parents, then, it seems that the key is not to try to shelter our kids from pain but rather to help them figure out ways to cope with it and move on. Tolan concludes that, rather than fretting about parenting "right," maybe the critical issue is simply that you care about your children and wish to do the very best job raising them. The key is simply in the trying; that's how our kids know we love them, because we're trying—not because we get it right or wrong.
So, if you wake up tomorrow and believe that you can't do it Wrong, it won't mean that you've suddenly quit caring for your children. As Tolan suggests, if you were to act as if every single choice you make for your child is the right one, a heavy burden would be taken off your shoulders. You could then use this energy that you would previously have wasted in worry and angst, rehashing your decisions over and over again, in more positive, productive, and enjoyable ways.
Although I applaud Tolan's outside-the-box message, I wonder perhaps if this dichotomy of right and wrong should even be applied to parenthood at all, because parenting isn't really about producing a product. Instead, it's about joining with other human beings in a dynamic process of growing and cocreating together, sharing love, life, and joy along the journey. As a parent, we are not involved in a mechanical system but rather we coexist as a family in an organic, living system that defies measurement.
•I think, as parents, we need to embrace mistakes as simply more information; and when you make a mistake, start talking yourself through the process of dealing with it out loud so your children can see and hear you struggle and learn your problem-solving methods.
•We need to brainstorm different strategies with our kids and talk with them about challenges we're facing in our daily lives including issues related to friends, family members, your job, and your interests and encourage them to discuss different ways to tackle challenges they may be experiencing in their lives.
•We should try to seek out challenges both personally and professionally and show pleasure in the struggle, saying things like, "Boy, this is hard. But what fun!" and develop a growth mindset where you embrace the belief that people at any age can learn, change, and develop skills (despite setbacks) through hard work and perseverance (this is described in Carol Dweck's book Mindset). A parent with a growth mindset stresses praising effort and perseverance rather than focusing on results.
•We should model for our kids that it's great to be imperfect and we're proud of it because that's how you learn and grow and develop new skills and build brain cells—that making mistakes means that you're out there in the fray trying, engaged in life and learning.
•And, finally, let's celebrate mistakes and failures—go to a movie with your child, have a tea party, take a family hike. Create a family tradition to applaud a family member for taking a risk and trying and for reminding everyone that that's what being a success is really all about.
By doing this, we will be modeling for our children how to live life as happy, positive, productive, and flawed gifted human beings. This is especially important with our gifted children who tend to be hyper-aware of our every move and keenly tuned into everything we do, think, or feel. As a result, our actions often speak much more loudly than our words. By freeing ourselves from the fear of screwing up or the fear of being less than perfect parents, or even beyond this—by refusing to apply these judgments to parenting at all—we also will free our children from the immobilizing fear of failure and enable them to be authentically-wonderful, imperfect individuals.
And, finally, all the energy that we spend worrying about doing it right (or wrong) can then be spent on enjoying our parenting journey more and nurturing both ourselves and our children in a more positive and fun way. This will enable us to keep our focus on all the joys a gifted child can bring. As all the mothers I've talked with have said, it Goes by so quickly, and before you know it your beautiful gifted child will be all grown-up and off in the world following his or her passion—hopefully unafraid of and not immobilized by whether or not he or she doing it right.

IACC Studies Emergency Standards
If examining emergency procedures has suddenly become a much more critical part of your site-inspection process, a new document by the International Association of Conference Centers may be the help you need to suss out the safest spots.
After the September terrorist attacks, IACC formed the Emergency Procedures Task Force, chaired by board member Rodman Marymor, managing partner of Berkeley, Calif.-based Cardinal Communications, to canvass members around four critical areas: health emergencies, natural disasters, facility emergencies, and deliberate disruption/acts.
The task force's first goal "is to identify and benchmark [emergency procedure] standards that are shared by at least 80 percent of the conference centers," says Marymor. Secondly, the task force is going to collect examples of best practices. "So at the end of this, if you figure a couple hundred conference centers each contribute one or two best practices in each of the four areas, we're going to have a really nice document that's going to have best practices dealing with swimming pool safety, dealing with tornadoes or floods, electrical outages, guest rape, armed robbery, computer backups. … We could wind up with a document unlike anything in the industry."
The emergency procedures white paper was expected to be published before the end of 2001 at the IACC Web site (www.iacconline.org).
"If a planner is going into a property, I would say it's important for them to understand not just what the food is like, not just what the rooms are like, and what the AV is like, but also what emergency procedures are in place," says Marymor. "We didn't think about it before September 11. We're thinking about it more now."
Free Videoconferencing at 10 Conference Centers
Addressing its clients' travel restrictions and meeting budget cuts, 10 of the conference centers managed by Benchmark Hospitality (www.benchmarkhospitality.com) have added free videoconferencing for newly booked meetings taking place before the end of March.
The promotion, offered to groups using a minimum of 150 room nights, rolls videoconferencing into the Complete Meeting Package price, the all-inclusive pricing system used by convention centers, which typically covers accommodations, meals, meeting space, refreshments, and standard AV equipment.
Benchmark's videoconferencing offer is not unlimited, but it does, according to the company, represent a $4,000 savings. The package includes free point-to-point videoconferencing in the continental U.S. and Canada using a modular videoconferencing system, camera, microphones, LCD projector, and screen; 120 minutes of long-distance service; three ISDN lines; and one hour of service from an on-site technician.
The properties included in the promotion are The AT&T Learning Center, Basking Ridge, N.J.; Chaminade, Santa Cruz, Calif.; The Chattanoogan, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Cheyenne Mountain Resort, Colorado Springs, Colo.; Del Lago Resort, Houston; The Founders Inn, Virginia Beach, Va.; Kingbridge Centre, Toronto; Lansdowne Resort, Leesburg, Va.; Scottsdale Conference Resort, Scottsdale Conference Resort, Scottsdale, Ariz.; and The Northland Inn, Minneapolis, Minn.
Harrison Conference Center, the Tarrytown, N.Y.-based conference center division of Hilton Hotels Corp., opened Virginia Crossings Conference Resort in Glen Allen, Va., in August. Located on 20 acres just 10 miles from downtown Richmond, the 182-room conference resort features 23,000 square feet of meeting facilities. Videoconferencing equipment and high-speed Internet access will be available in all 24 meeting rooms. In other news at Harrison Conference Centers, the organization has relaunched its Web site at www.harrisonconference.com.
Dolce International, the Montvale, N.J.-based company that runs such conference centers as Hamilton park in Florham, N.J., has acquired Norton Manor Training and Conference Center in Hampshire, England. An expansion will bring the room count to 100 by early this year. This is Dolce's fourth European property.
Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort in Stone Mountain, Ga., opened an 87-room expansion in October. The added guest rooms give the Evergreen a total of 336, making it the largest conference resort in Georgia.
The Benchmark Hospitality — managed CIBC Leadership Centre in Toronto, Ontario, has been renamed The Kingbridge Centre.
In October, the Professional Convention Management Association opened its new PCMA Learning Center in Chicago's Hyatt Regency McCormick Conference Center. The 5,000-square-foot space is being billed as "the most technologically advanced adult learning center in the world."
Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle added 17,000 square feet of function space last year. A new 5,000-square-foot Grand Concourse combines with a 12,000-square-foot Elliott Hall for activities such as receptions, exhibits, and theme events. Weather permitting, large rolling doors in the Elliott Hall can be opened to reveal sweeping views of Seattle's Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains.
What's a Conference Center, Anyhow?
Like the famous definition of pornography, "I know it when I see it," many meeting planners have a similarly intuitive definition of conference centers. There are, however, clear criteria that define the conference center concept.
In fact, the International Association of Conference Centers has a 30-point definition that separates its 330 member centers from the world of meeting facilities. Below are some key points of IACC's definition. For a complete list, visit www.iacconline.com and click on "membership criteria." The IACC Web site also allows planners to search for conference centers and send requests for proposals.
A minimum of 60 percent (based on net area) of meeting space in the conference center is dedicated, single-purpose conference space.
A minimum of 60 percent of total revenue from guest rooms, meeting space, food and beverage, AV, and conference services is conference-related. (If the conference center is nonresidential or ancillary to a resort or convention hotel, 70 percent of total sales of the conference center is generated from conferences).
Continuous refreshment service is set up outside meeting rooms unless requested otherwise.
Average group size: 75 people or fewer.
The conference center offers and promotes a package plan (CMP) that includes conference rooms, guest rooms (when applicable), three meals, continuous refreshment service, conference services and basic AV equipment (typically: overhead projectors, flip charts, 35mm slide projectors, microphones, and video playback equipment).
Conference rooms are available to clients on a 24-hour basis for storage of materials.
The conference center has sufficient inventory so that 60 percent of dedicated meeting rooms can be set up using ergonomically designed chairs, which have upholstery and, ideally, are designed to swivel and tilt for attendees' comfort.
The majority of conference setups use tables that are designed for meetings and have a nonreflective, hard writing surface. (Draped, skirted banquet tables are not acceptable.)
Conference rooms have wall surfaces suitable for tacking or other mounting of flip-chart-type sheets.
Amplified sound is available for all conference rooms with more than 1,000 square feet.
A designated conference planner is assigned to each conference group.
Guest rooms include work stations, adequate lighting for reading or working, and comfortable seating.
Dolce Speeds Up the RFP Process
Need to put together a meeting in a hurry? Dolce International, a Montvale, N.J.-based conference center management company, launched a new program in October that promises a response to meeting planners' inquiries within 30 minutes and a proposal within one business day.
The program, called Dolce Conference Solutions, is a one-stop shop for space at one of the company's 14 conference centers as well as air travel, rental cars, and ground transportation. Dolce is partnering with American Airlines, Avis, and Empire International, and the quick-turnaround proposal includes estimated costs from all the partners.
Dolce's deal with American includes 70 percent off published coach and business class fares, a waiver of the Saturday night stay requirement, and special site-inspection fares, among other benefits. The program gives discounts for five or more Avis rentals, including discounts on promotional rates, and seven free rental days for every 20 rentals booked during a calendar year.
Electronic request for proposals are submitted from the Dolce Web site (www.dolce.com/conferencesolutions), where you can also get information on the 14 Dolce properties in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
IACC Reaches Out to WTI Workers
THE INTERNATIONAL Association of Conference Centers is reaching out to help one of its own. Before September 11, The World Trade Institute, a nonresidential conference center owned by Pace University and managed by Benchmark Hospitality, spanned the 55th floor of New York's One World Trade Center. While none of the facility's 14 employees was harmed when the towers came down, many are facing difficult circumstances as they look for new jobs. To do its part, IACC has pledged $5,000 to establish a relief fund for WTI employees and is asking others in the industry to help the fund grow. At press time more than $1,000 had come in. Donations can be sent to: IACC/WTI Employee Assistance Fund, c/o Merrill Lynch, 65 East State St., 26th Floor, Columbus, OH 43215.

When you talk about miraculous comeback stories, few can top what Shane Bunting (aka Madchild) has gone through. One-half of Swollen Members, he went from sell-out tours and gold-selling records to a long battle with drug addiction. But, he came out on top in the end, saw Swollen Members make a valiant return and re-launch a solo career that has seen six releases over the past three years. With a new album out titled Dope Sick, Madchild sat down with T-RexXx to discuss the dark times and his struggle to find the light.
Also on this week's episode of RapCity, we have brand new videos from DJ Drama, Torch, and Kendrick Lamar.

I've been going to Barbara at Sirens Salon for cuts and colors for several years now recommend her very highly. I've got curly hair which is not always easy to work with. Barbara is able to cut it so that it actually looks like it has got some style – I get compliments on my hair far more often after I started seeing Barbara. Barbara is also excellent with color – she has taught many color classes to others in her field and I love having that level of expertise when I am having my hair colored. One of the items I really respect about Barbara is even though she is already super knowledgeable and really good at what she does, she is always trying to learn more. Every time I go in, it seems like she has just taken a class or is getting ready to go to a class– she is always learning and keeping up to date with trends and techniques. And as an added bonus, she is a really great person and someone you enjoy spending a couple of hours with every 6 weeks or so.
Love this place! The ladies are hip AND friendly. I see Karla and I get insane amounts of compliments on my hair, even after a workout at the gym!! Plus she's fun to be around. ;). Been going to Sirens Salon for almost 3 years now and have no plans to stop!
I have been going to Karla at Sirens Salon for about 3 years now. She always does a great job on my cut and highlights. She is very fun and easy to talk to which makes the time in the chair pass quickly. Last year when I got married I brought all of my bridesmaids in to get their hair and makeup done and everyone looked wonderful! I highly recommend Sirens Salon and Karla.
I was referred by my daughter to Carla for an updated look. I am 50+, but want style. I grew it out with Carla's help. I love it & trust her
I've been a Sirens client for years. The reason I stay loyal to this salon over all the others in town is simple: these stylists know what they are doing. It's not just great cuts, or great color, it's everything. Knowledgeable staff who stay current on the latest styles and attend continuing education events as often as they can, usually 3-4 times a year or more, the highest quality products (they use the vegan, sulfite-free brand Unite, which is wildly popular in Europe and just being seen in the U.S.), and the atmosphere rocks! I am Facebook friends with Sirens and I see all the fun events they go to for training and to keep on top of the latest trends.
I love walking in and immediately being greeted hello and offered a soft drink, water or wine. The salon's vibe is upbeat and positive. How often do you visit a new salon and you hear two of the staff griping about schedules or their love life or how tired they are and can't wait to be out of work? Not here! You can tell the staff love their jobs.
And Sirens' stylists make me look great! My hair is curly but I like to wear it straight, not an easy task. I have major cowlicks, too. And I'm hopeless at complicated styles, but these ladies cut my hair in styles that make it easy for me to replicate. Whether it is Emma, Lauren, Raven or Lindsey working on me, they either all have magic hands or these ladies know their stuff. I've had highlights, low lights, ombre and all over color from Sirens and loved it every single time. And the hand massages while your color processes make me feel pampered.
When friends ask me to refer a hair stylist, I just tell them to take anyone who has an open appointment at Sirens. Seriously, they are all that good. They do have a stylist who specializes in curly hair (Barbara) and for the guys, a barber is on staff, too.
Oh, and when allergy season is gearing up, I get my lashes tinted. I can't do mascara on days when my eyes are itching like crazy, and lash tinting makes me feel less "naked face". I've had makeup lessons from Lauren, who also did my wedding makeup. Emma did my wedding hair. I had planned to wear my grandmother's 1920's flapper seed pearl rope in my hair as my something old, and Emma rocked it out!
I can't say enough good things about this salon. Go try it for yourself and tell them Kay sent you!
I just moved to Austin, and Sirens Salon made me feel at home. Barbara is an excellent hair specialist, I'm very happy with my results!!!!!!
Don't Waste Your Time – One of the worst Salon experiences I have ever had.
I went in asking for an ombre color with a specific photo. I was very direct about what i wanted, and I came out with a nice hair color, but it was nothing like what i wanted or had asked for. After leaving I decided to call back and address my concerns and they offered to give me a free "fix-up", and because the color wasn't bad I decided maybe if I just told her again she would get it right this time, wrongggg. Oh god was I wrong. I was born to be a brunette, and had just desired blonde on the tips... well dark to blonde ombre with auburn in the middle. She asked where I wanted the auburn to start and I said right above my chin and then to go on for 4 inches and then to have it be blonde ( i have very long hair). Well I came out with my entire head BLONDE it went from barely any brown from blonde to even blonder. Even worse yet the blonde starts about where my eyebrows are. SERIOUSLY!? What a lack of communication. I am soooo upset. I am seriously depressed about being a blonde, and I can't even dye it back dark out of fear of frying my hair even more. So for a month I get to walk around with people wondering wtf i was thinking.
So basically i spent $270, wasted roughly 8 hours in total, never got the ombre i've been wanting so badly... and worst of all hating my hair/damaging it. Just thought you guys should know.
-I also contacted the manager after this entire experience and the receptionist assured me she would call me the next day. Nope, never happened, they obviously don't really care.
Dear client, The stylist at Sirens are pros at working with all clients. We specialize in Ombre color and do lots of it. Sorry about your experience. I am sure that the stylist called you back instead of the receptionist. The stylist is the one that has the information that can make things right for you. I was also told that you kept changing your mind. Your Ombre looked great! I know that my stylist worked hard on making things right for you.
Sirens Salon
Best Ombre' GUARANTEED! – I have been exclusively coming to see Barbara for over 6years now. She is hands down the most skilled at her craft. I have gained so much trust in her abilities that I simply give her a general idea of what I think I want and just let her do her magic. She knows what's best and ALWAYS delivers.... which brings me to my latest and greatest style of the year............OMBRE'!!!!!!!!!
Let's be honest here...there is a lot of Ombre' out there. Most of it terrible and poorly done. There is a process that apparently many stylists are too lazy to take the time to do. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Ombre'! It is the perfect blend of colors, very natural looking, and oh so beautiful! You know that experience you get, of feeling like a million bucks with your new "do"? Yeah.....expect THAT.
So what are you waiting for? If you are ready to rock this color (or ANY color), why settle for someone less than the best, really? GO SEE BARBARA. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
Thanks for the great review about Barbara and her mad Ombre skills at Sirens Salon.
Sirens Salon
Consistently wonderful results! – Stephanie is wonderful! Her skill, great judgment and eye for what will work all mean that I leave the salon every time feeling and looking like a million. She always "gets me" and always delivers exactly what I wanted! Ever since I started seeing Stephanie, friends have told me my hair has never looked better.
Stephanie and Raven make a great team - they're fun and will make you feel comfortable, confident, and well-cared for. Rest assured, you will leave happy.
Thanks for the great review about Stephanie and Raven and Stephanie's amazing hairdressing skills.
Sirens Salon
Great Customer Service – I always look forward to my appointments at Sirens. I used to wait too long in between hair appointments, but now I keep on a regular schedule. Stephanie makes me look and feel awesome! Sirens definitely knows how to treat their customers well!
Thank you for the great review! Stephanie love making clients look fabulous.
