Complete Honesty in Relationships--LOVE this CM Article!
Hi, Catholic Match Family!
I read this new article from CM and thought it'd be good to share. You may not be into reading through an entire article, but even if you just browse through it you'll see some great tips, in my opinion, on being completely open and honest--in all relationships (romantic or otherwise). But, particularly if you are living the SINGLE life and striving for a Godly relationship. As someone who strives for honesty and truly feels that it is key to a successful relationship with anyone--friend, family member, significant other, etc.--I think this is an EXCELLENT article! God bless! :)

Apple and Google are among the companies accused of conspiring not to hire away each other's employees.
As part of its settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, T-Mobile will pay at least $90 million in customer refunds, as well as penalties and fines over complaints that it put bogus charges on customer bills.
After three previous settlement attempts, regulators say formal objections are the "logical next step" if the two sides can't come to an agreement.
After a district court judge rejected a $324.5 million settlement in August, the tech firms are hoping the Ninth Circuit will intervene.
US District Court Judge Denise Cote originally took issue with the settlement because Apple could end up only paying $70 million.
After the tech giant agrees to pay millions in the e-book price-fixing lawsuit, the presiding judge says, "I'm concerned about the terms of the settlement."
After reaching a controversial deal with European regulators in February, the EU may revise terms of Google's settlement.
Court documents reveal the settlement terms for the lawsuit involving several tech giants accused of fixing wages.
The phone company hands millions to the US government in the largest-ever settlement over the opt-out-of-telemarketing registry.
A programmer who is part of the class action lawsuit against several tech giants says $324 million isn't enough.

Oracle Customer: Yarra Valley Water
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Industry: Utilities
Employees: 620
Annual Revenue: $500 Million to $1 Billion
Oracle Customer: Yarra Valley Water
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Industry: Utilities
Employees: 620
Annual Revenue: $500 Million to $1 Billion
Yarra Valley Water (YVW) is the largest of three water corporations in Melbourne, Australia. It provides water supplies and sewerage services to more than 1.7 million people and 50,000 businesses in the northern and eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The organization owns and maintains more than 9,000 kilometers of water mains and nearly 9,000 kilometers of sewer mains, spanning approximately 4,000 square kilometers.
YVW needed to upgrade its IT infrastructure to better support its Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing system and its plans for creating customer-facing Web portals. In mid-2012, the organization developed a private cloud infrastructure, based on Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, and Oracle Enterprise Manager. The infrastructure includes a pair of Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic engineered systems at YVW's production and disaster recovery centers.
By taking advantage of Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic's high performance and stability, YVW ensured its Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing applications can reach their full potential. It reduced application response times from up to 9 seconds to a subsecond, lowered average customer call times by 30 seconds, and cut the overnight batch processing time by 71%. It has also reduced the time required for development, testing, and production tasks by 30%.
YVW provides customers with a variety of services, including managing water supplies, processing meter readings, and repairing leaks and blockages in main water and sewage pipes. The organization also works with the construction, plumbing, engineering, and conveyancing industries on commercial infrastructure and land development projects.
Each year, YVW processes 10,000 development applications and 100,000 property information requests; manages the installation of 14,000 new water meters; helps develop around 23,000 properties; and provides 34,000 other plumbing services.
The organization previously managed customer account details, application, approval, and development data, and all its billing information in 27 separate applications that ran on 17 older T-series and M-series servers, and two Hitachi Data Systems storage area network units. YVW had maintained this infrastructure for more than 15 years, and the servers and storage units had reached end of life.
"The infrastructure was experiencing a number of performance issues and had become inefficient and costly to maintain," said Ramesh Subramaniam, IT strategy and architecture manager, Yarra Valley Water.
In 2010, YVW implemented Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing Base for Commercial and Industrial Customers, Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing Base for Residential Customers, Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing Rating and Billing for Commercial and Industrial Customers, and Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing Rating and Billing for Residential Customers to manage customers' account details, meter readings, and billing information, as well as the fees paid by developers, plumbers, and conveyance providers. However, due to the end-of-life infrastructure, the system experienced performance issues.
"We were very pleased with the overall business improvements we received from the Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing system, but our outdated infrastructure prevented the application from reaching its full potential," said Subramaniam.
The legacy infrastructure took up to 14 hours to complete overnight batch processing. Poorly performing hardware also meant that Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing application's response times often took eight or nine seconds.
Meanwhile, overnight and regular reindexing of the data warehouse was taking 6 to 8 hours and a complete reindex or rebuild of the data warehouse could take a whole day. The batch window to complete overall, automated batch processing tasks was also up to 24 hours. Batch processing was encroaching into business hours and impacted system performance to increase the average customer-call time to 390 seconds, creating unnecessary call-center costs and affecting customer satisfaction.
"We considered a like-for-like replacement for our previous integrated billing and satellite systems, but we had pushed our existing hardware and software as far as we could. A direct replacement would have yielded limited results," said Subramaniam. "Instead, we developed our 'Beyond Easy Applications Program,' replacing the systems with several Web portals."
YVW wanted to adopt a standardized, scalable, enterprise-strength architecture to develop new portals and support five-yearly upgrades of core systems, such as Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing. The organization wanted to consolidate its business systems to drive more business from less hardware, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) while ensuring it continued to meet its service-level agreements.
YVW also wanted to reduce the amount of manual patching and system maintenance required, cut time and cost of deploying new hardware and applications and future infrastructure upgrades,, and conduct system administration and maintenance in-house.
By providing high performance and stability, Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic have significantly helped YVW's Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing application reach its full potential.
The organization can now complete its overnight Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing run in four hours. Application response has also been reduced from up to 9 seconds to just 0.5 seconds.
"Cutting application response times from up to nine seconds to a subsecond, and shortening the overnight billing run by 71% improves staff productivity and satisfaction," said Subramaniam. "It also enables staff to more quickly enter and manage customer account data, such as contact details and bill payments, and respond to customer queries faster, which will improve customer satisfaction."
The Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic infrastructure has cut the time taken to complete regular and overnight data warehouse re-indexing by 6x—from 8 hours to just over 1 hour. YVW can also conduct complete data re-indexing across its data warehouse, including six applications (such as billing, customer management, and finance), 6x faster—in 3.5 hours, compared to 24 hours, previously.
The improvements in the billing run and reindexing times have helped shorten the time for overall batch processing tasks—including customer billing and profiling, reindexing, and other reporting tasks—from between 21 hours and 24 hours, to around 6 hours.
"Previously, the extended batch window affected system performance during business hours," said Subramaniam. "With batch jobs still running during the day, the system was less stable, and response times were slower. This affected average call times, as it took longer for call-center staff to access and process customer account details and service information."
With the new solution in place, YVW can ensure it meets its service level agreements by enabling seamless online performance for more than 80 concurrent call-center staff. This has shortened the average customer call time by 30 seconds—from 390 seconds to 360 seconds.
"The reduced call times are also expected to improve customer satisfaction, as call-center staff can more quickly complete customer requests for help with their water or sewage supplies, or for information about their accounts," said Subramaniam.
YVW has also eliminated the need for overnight operational management staff, saving the company additional labor costs and improving staff working conditions.
By deploying Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic systems at its production data center and its disaster recovery center, YVW reduced the time required for development, testing, and production tasks—such as modifying or migrating data—by 30%.
By reducing provisioning times and the effort required for performance tuning, IT staff can more easily manage system, database, and server testing and development. This improves productivity and frees staff to complete other valuable tasks.
"We can also apply patches and system enhancements when required, rather than waiting for major outage windows, such as during the weekend," said Subramaniam. "In the past, we would have needed a major justification to complete system maintenance during the week, as it would have significant implications on subsequent batch windows. Now, we can deploy patches far more quickly and ensure we don't fall behind on our maintenance work."
By implementing integrated Oracle products for its private cloud and Web-based systems, YVW has saved on its TCO over five years.
In addition, the improved performance, availability, and system management capabilities enabled YVW to make better use of internal resources and move from a costly, managed-service contract to an in-house management structure.
"Now we only have two, paired boxes, rather than 12, disparate databases; storage appliances; and servers. This makes the infrastructure much easier to manage," said Subramaniam. "It has reduced the costs and space required for our data centers and cut the variety of staff skill sets required from 8 to 12, to just 4.
By adopting a standardized and scalable infrastructure, YVW has also increased the business value of its mission-critical applications, such as the Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing system, as it can now focus its time and resources on the applications rather than supporting infrastructure.
"We considered a number of other products and vendors, including Wintel and IBM, but realized that Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic were most cost-effective. By taking advantage of the engineered systems' stability and high performance, we have reduced application response from up to nine seconds to a subsecond, cut overnight billing run time by 71%, and improved staff productivity and customer satisfaction." – Ramesh Subramaniam, IT Strategy and Architecture Manager, Yarra Valley Water
YVW considered a number of other product combinations from other vendors, including Wintel X series and IBM Xiv storage, but realized that combining Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic would be the most cost-effective.
YVW also chose Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic, as they were robust, stable, and would help the organization complete more business processes using less hardware.
YVW began implementing Oracle Exadata Database Machine Quarter Rack and Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Quarter Rack at its production and disaster recovery centers in January 2012.
"We reduced the test time from six to eight weeks, to only two weeks," said Subramaniam. "We pushed the machines to 300% of their maximum load with no problems, and as performance is quicker on Oracle Exadata, we didn't really need to tune the stress volume performance."
YWV worked with Oracle Advanced Customer Support Services on the delivery and configuration of the Exadata and Exalogic platforms.
"Oracle Advanced Customer Support Services' resources and the delivery were well structured and met all our expectations," said Subramaniam. "The methodical yet flexible manner in which the team worked aligned well with our preferred way of working."
YVW went live with the upgraded Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing application in its development environment in March 2012. The application went fully live in the production environment in June 2012.

We will be paying our final installment on the 33-acre, Meyers Road farmland at the end of September with the help of the Greater New Haven Community Loan Fund. The Connecticut Department of Housing is looking favorably on our plan to include affordable homes in our neighborhood. They will provide funds that will be used to subsidize and ultimately lower the cost of our 9 affordable homes.
Our Homes
The 30 homes at Rocky Corner will be brand new.
Some features:
- Energy-saving and compact
- One- to three-bedroom homes
- Customizable features and layout
- Room to garden
- Nearby parking and storage
- Affordable housing subsidies available
Our Community
Rocky Corner welcomes families of all kinds. We're also designing Rocky Corner to accommodate an organic farm, to be managed by interested community members.
Some features of our neighborhood:
- 20 minute drive from downtown New Haven
- Multigenerational
- Walkable
- Plenty of green space
- Working farm to supply some of our neighborhood's food
- Accessible to people with disabilities
- Common house with shared facilities: kitchen, dining and gathering spaces, workshop, arts spaces
- Located in top school district (Amity)
- Efficient and transparent management by the residents
We can't wait to meet you! Join Us!
Rocky Corner is in the final planning stages right now, with construction scheduled to begin in early 2015!

Cricket and Baseball Exploration Coming to Cooperstown
Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara have led India and Sri Lanka, respectively, into this week's World Cup Final, as cricket fans from around the globe will be turning their sights to Mumbai for this riveting Final, scheduled to begin at 5 a.m. EDT on Saturday, April 2.
Just 36 hours earlier, on Thursday, March 31, the first games of the 2011 Major League Baseball season will be concluding as Opening Day is celebrated by baseball fans across the country and around the world. Derek Jeter and Miguel Cabrera are slated to lead the Yankees and Tigers to the first season opener, with first pitch slated for 1:09 p.m. ET on Thursday.
Two of the world's most popular sports and its most popular stars are taking center stage this week, and in Cooperstown, at the home of baseball at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, we are brushing up on both pastimes in preparation for an April like none ever before.
This month, the Museum will open the exhibit Swinging Away: How Cricket and Baseball Connect, the first major Museum exhibit dedicated to exploring the roots of both sports and their relationship. Created in conjunction with the Marylebone Cricket Club of London, the exhibit is making its only appearance in North America at the Hall of Fame, on display beginning April 16 through the end of 2011.
The exhibit opened to rave reviews last summer at MCC – the most famous cricket club in the world – and now makes its way to the most sacred of landscapes for baseball fans…Cooperstown. The exhibit will celebrate the passion and history of both sports, in this unique exploration of history, culture and heroism.
A soft opening of the cricket and baseball exploration will take place on April 16, as we have some wonderful special guests from Haverford College and elsewhere scheduled to be with us on Sunday, April 17 to give visitors a taste of cricket in action.
We are finalizing a weekend of programs for June 3-5, dubbed "Cricket Weekend" in Cooperstown, so that we can share with so many fans of both sports the excitement and pageantry of Cricket in demonstrative and educational ways.
The world is abuzz with the best of cricket and baseball this week. Plan now to delve deeper into the history of both sports this spring and summer in Cooperstown.
Brad Horn is the senior director of communications and education at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

First, I love the brown in there - gives the quilt some depth and makes it not just "Christmas-y."
Second, my in-laws live in Frederick, Maryland - right in the middle of Civil War battlefields and memorials, so a Civil War-inspired quilt seems fitting.
Third, whenever I think of Civil War and Christmas put together, I think of Little Women. I LOVE that book and the 1994 movie too. (Makes me cry every time.) Well, the first time I met my husband's family (when we were dating) my then-future-husband's younger brother kept pointing to my hair (which was long at the time) and talking about "Little Homen". His mom immediately cracked-up and explained that he loved Little Women and we had a great bonding moment over that movie. I took it as a sign right away that I would really like this family. :) And I was right. We had a great time with them here over Thanksgiving and I was able to give them the quilt then. And I will happily add that it was joyously received.Yay!
I also love that this quilt came entirely from the stash. I think the binding fabric may be my favorite of all.
And now, here we are almost half-way through December. I can't believe how fast this month is flying by. I keep trying to stop and savor the season. It's kind of not fair that as a kid, December seems interminable and Christmas takes forever to come, but as an adult the month passes too quickly. WAY too quickly.

The following blood tests can help reveal a problem with the biliary system .
This condition may also alter the results of the following tests:
The goal of treatment is to correct the narrowing so bile can flow from the liver into the intestine.
This may involve:
If surgery is done, the stricture is removed. The common bile duct will be rejoined with the small intestine.
In some cases, a tiny metal or plastic mesh tube (stent ) is placed across the bile duct stricture to keep it open.
Treatment is successful most of the time.
Inflammation and narrowing of the biliary duct may return in some people. There is a risk for infection above the narrowed area. Strictures that remain for a long period can lead to liver damage (cirrhosis ).
Call your health care provider if symptoms recur after pancreatitis, cholecystectomy , or other biliary surgery.

The Luckiest Man
By Trevor Hayes
About a week ago, I finished reading Luckiest Man by Jonathan Eig. I got the book in November during the Hall of Fame's Character and Courage statue unveiling. The event honored three men who deserve a special place in the Hall of Fame. Roberto Clemente, Jackie Robinson and Lou Gehrig now greet every visitor who enters the Museum, reminding them of the values we baseball fans admire.
Compared to the encyclopedias I work with, I'm very much a baseball history novice — actually strike that, and we'll call it like it is: I'm a baseball novice. In the weeks prior to Character and Courage Weekend, I heard a great deal about these men. Before arriving in Cooperstown, I knew about Jackie and the color barrier, and I'd heard a little about Clemente. Gehrig, however, was just the guy who played with Babe Ruth. He had a disease named after him, but the biggest thing I recognized him for was holding the record that Cal Ripken Jr. broke.
That's a vivid memory for me. I watched Ripken beat the streak on a TV in a bowling alley in Kansas City. The bartender let me sneak in to watch Chirs Berman's call. Despite being only 10, I think she knew I needed to see what was happening, even if I didn't understand it. For some time now, I have understood the magnitude of the streak. It started two years before I was born and when it was over, I was 14. I know it may be one of baseball's unbreakable marks. But now, the important thing for me about Ripken's streak is the man who came before Cal.
My baseball career ended in middle school after a broken finger and a broken nose. Gehrig played with broken fingers and didn't notice them. That's just the tip of it with Gehrig. He literally played until he couldn't. ALS sapped his ability and withered his strength. He continued to play every game in 1938, despite starting to lose muscle mass as early as the winter before that season.
ALS strikes quickly and attacks the extremities and coordination first. Gehrig almost immediately lost his baseball skills. Throughout the book, Gehrig was both human and hero. Once he was diagnosed, he became a human, stripped of the athleticism that made him special. But at the same time, he wasn't. He came to terms with his affliction; he never let it deter his spirit. The way he dealt with his "bad break" — as he referred to it during his farewell speech — is an inspiration that can be admired today.
At 24, I am still finding baseball heroes, and with the 70th anniversary of his final season and his unforgettable speech approaching, I am going to remember Gehrig's character and courage.
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Dear Trevor,
Lou has been my hero for many years. Happy you have joined the many that still hold him in high regard.
Have the USPS poster for his stamp in the den.
Used #4 in basketball and baseball in high school.
Was lucky to have such a fine person to idolize.
Sincerely, Sam
I'm glad you found this entry, despite it going up in March. Lou's legacy obviously touched your life and he is an amazing story. I'm sad that it took me working at the Hall of Fame to actually realize just how special he and many of the others that I never saw play were. I will be a lifelong Gehrig fan.Thanks for touching base with the Hall of Fame, keeping reading.
– Trevor

Plant Trees
When properly planted and well cared for, trees can trap and hold rainwater in their leaves, branches, bark and root systems. This allows the water to filter slowly into the ground so it can percolate (seep) down and replenish groundwater supplies.
In addition to their water conservation benefits, trees can reduce your electric bill and the need for imported electricity from coal (or gas)-fired power plants. (Read more about the benefits of trees.)
TreePeople recommends planting trees on the east and west sides of buildings to shade air conditioners. When planted on the south side, deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves in the fall) shade buildings in the summer and let the sun's warmth come through in the winter.

Central Park
Land Art Generator Initiative: Freshkills Park
Monday, July 15, 2013
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
This event repeats every week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 6/27/2013 and 8/30/2013.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
The Land Art Generator Initiative: Freshkills Park is an exhibition of the top 25 designs selected out of 250 submissions from around the globe by artists, architects, designers, engineers, landscape architects, and more. LAGI 2012 was an ideas competition to design a site-specific public artwork that, in addition to its conceptual beauty, has the ability to harness energy cleanly from nature and convert it into electricity for the utility grid. At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will be almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park developed in New York City in over 100 years. The transformation of what was formerly the world's largest landfill into a productive and beautiful cultural destination will make the park a symbol of renewal and an expression of how our society can restore balance to its landscape. The top three submissions not only heighten the beauty of the surrounding park land but also provide a gateway into a greater discussion about the preservation of the environment.

Hi guys!
I'm an Air Force brat and have lived all over the place, but I'm actually a Jersey girl, since I was born in Mt. Holly and spent many years growing up in Old Bridge and in later years, South Jersey (Atlantic City area).
I'm an animal advocate/vegetarian, love to read (philosophical/spiritual/psychological), adore comedy of all kinds (the drier the better) and, of course, love classic rock! The fact that they let me actually be on-air without medication just shows that this radio station needs to do background checks first.

Beats: giants, norichika aoki MLB to use pitch clock in Double-A, Triple-A games - ESPNDo they really need a clock? Can't the umpires just speed up the pace by making the batters get in the box quicker and making the pitcher deliver the ball as soon as the batter is in the box? The Rules of Play already cover this. Rule 6 (The Batter) and Rule 8 (The Pitcher) already place time limits on the batter and pitcher. So, they don't need to change the rules; they just need to enforce them. Hart says he will not trade Kimbrel « Bowman's BlogKimbrel was a topic of conversation for some of the MLB Radio shows yesterday. In the morning Steve Phillips insisted he had to go. In the afternoon a host insisted he shouldn't go anywhere. IMHO, it depends on their timeline. If they truly believe they can be competitive when the new park opens, they should hold onto him.

Who doesn't want a thinner-looking face, especially after all the holiday excess? We've got some terrific tips for haircuts that make you look thinner.
Long Layers
Long layers that are vertical-shaped, not horizontal, can elongate your face shape. Layers should not be too short nor too wide. Curls can shrink a considerable amount when cutting layers, so be careful about the length. Hair should ideally fall somewhere between the bottom of the ear and the top of the shoulder. Just like clothes, the structure and length of your hairstyle can work in your favor.
Change is Good
If you haven't changed your hairstyle in awhile, find a photo of a new style and get your hair cut. A bad hairstyle can make you look 10 years older.
When it comes to improving our appearance, we are always searching for the fastest way to reach our goals. While quick fixes often fail, even the slightest change in your hairstyle can produce noticeably positive effects.
Find a salon in your area using NaturallyCurly.com's handy dandy Salon Finder.
Say No to Traditional Bobs
Certain bob hairstyles will add a few pounds instead of visually subtracting pounds. If you want your face to look slimmer, wearing a bob hairstyle that frames your face will call more attention to that roundness. Also, if you have a double chin that you'd rather hide, a chin-length bob will draw the eye right to your problem area. Chin-length bobs also tend to add volume on the sides of the head, which will make your face look even wider. Instead bring your bob above chin level to draw eyes upward or consider an asymmetrical bob cut with the back short and the front being longer than your chin. When hair is all one length, it tends to make the face look fuller.

'74-'75 Warriors hint that we don't know what today's Warriors can accomplish
By TED SILLANPAA We've gotten a little too used to believing that we know in advance who'll win the game and, then, reach the playoffs. I don't need to go back to my youth, decades ago, to give an example of how the most unlikely champions emerge, but I will because the most unlikely championship team of my lifetime were the 1974-75 Golden State Warriors.

Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's secluded retreat celebrates the client's love of nature.
The entry wall opens to a central courtyard, which mediates between a one bedroom cottage on the left, a guest suite and garage/studio on the right, and the forest beyond.
Just inside the entry wall, a boardwalk running the length of the project connects two living spaces, one interior and one exterior. Each space has a fireplace and a wall that opens to the view of the sunlit clearing within the forest.

a dark, gated wall lends intrigue to this small house in the forest. Unfussy and simply organized, the house has two wings connected by a boardwalk and interior courtyard. "It seemed right to go into the space through a wall, almost like a veil, and then to find this outdoor room that really is an extension of the wings of the building," says Peter Q. Bohlin, FAIA.
One of our judges liked the way the wall creates focus and a "transition from urban life."

Our strategy for missions is to build and support relationships that inspire change. We do this by serving our community and the world in love.
You might be asking, "Why volunteer?" As so many Christians have discovered, serving is what life is all about. Serving is how God transforms everything – our marriages, our families, our relationships, our community, and the world!

This multilayered drama from French-Canadian writer-director Vallée (C.R.A.Z.Y.) accentuates the unexplainable mysteries of love.
Told as two interweaving stories, it depicts a unique connection between two very different sets of people, despite them being separated by time and place.
Vanessa Paradis (HEARTBREAKER) stars as Jacqueline, a hard-up young mum struggling to raise her son in 1960s Paris. Meanwhile in present-day Montreal we meet Antoine (Parent), a jet-setting DJ who has left his childhood sweetheart and their two kids for the beguiling Rose (Brochu). As the film builds steadily towards its spiritual climax, revealing the point at which these seemingly disparate lives overlap in an atmospheric twist that is deftly delivered, each character deciphers the meaning of true love. The result is a work of spellbinding metaphysical clarity.

SenorBon's mega-Peggy plays Conway's Game of Life, Pong, and generates music -
We built a giant LED board, about 6.5×6.5 feet, with 900 LEDs using ping-pong balls as diffusers. It can play Conway's Game of Life, Pong, and Sketch mode that allows you to create a starting pattern for Life. We output board state information to a MIDI board that allows us to make music based on what is displayed. This gets interesting with Life, creating minimalist generative music.

In case you're one of the few who doesn't read my blog religiously (gasp!), we've been building a mud pie kitchen in our yard. It began in part as a way to lure my child into our yard, but its popularity with our resident 3-year old has organically turned this into one of our summer's bigger projects. And the biggest surprise is that it's been almost entirely child-driven.
About a month ago we started with this. A couple crates, some sand toys, and lots of big ideas. Two weeks later the kitchen was still going strong, so we piled into the car to drive to the Goodwill to search for mud kitchen treasures.
This is how it looked after our thrift store trip. But did you know that my daughter likes things in their places? I was aware that the hodge-podge pile of dishes and scoopers might eventually keep her away from the outdoor kitchen, so I pulled out a jar of nails for us to hammer in "hooks" for our pots and utensils.
What I didn't anticipate is N's interest in hammering the nails in HERSELF! But I should have. This child has three (3!!) wooden hammers and couldn't scramble into the house fast enough to get one.
She hammered in a few nails, but really enjoyed directing me to hammer nails in specific places.
N's friend came over and the two of them were so industrious in this new space. It was actually very difficult to turn off the caramel-maker and break up the party at closing time!
And now I think we're done! I love the order that the hanging utensils brings to the kitchen.

Tucson Options for Police, Fire and EMS Scanners.
The Arizona Highway Patrol uses a statewide UHF repeater system that can be monitored with a basic police scanner.
Many agencies in the Phoenix area use an areawide digital trunked radio system called PRWN (Phoenix Regional Wireless Network), this includes Phoenix PD, Sky Harbor Airport, Tempe, Mesa and others.
In the Tucson area Pima County uses an LTR MultiNet system that can be monitored on a basic police scanner (but there are no scanners that will "track" this system). Tucson uses a mixture of analog and digital VHF channels so a digital police scanner is best here.
In the Flagstaff area most operations are on VHF, this can be monitored on a basic police scanner.
Pima County itself uses an LTR MultiNet system that, while it can be monitored on a basic police scanner, it can not be "tracked".
A basic police scanner can also be used to monitor the Arizona Highway Patrol and other state agencies.

Haleakala National Park (Maui)
Discover why Mark Twain claimed sunrise on Mount Haleakala sublime. You have to start your trek early (about 3 a.m.), but the dawning views from the summit make it oh-so worth it.

Well, I recklessly made that statement less than a week before we suddenly found a new house and decided to move. (Lesson learned.) Many of you have been asking about more aqua, red, and pink quilt kits. The pieces are all cut and I was planning to assemble them in August, but with the drastic change of plans this event will be postponed. Sorry. The good news is: the pieces are cut and once we are living in our new house and I'm not making three 40 minute round trips to the new school every day I should be able to throw these babies together quickly. Thank you for your patience.
(Remember this quilt? Truthfully, I didn't! Embarassing. But I was so happy to see it again and there it is, ready to go to its new home.)
Because you never know when an egg carton, water bottle, plastic knife, sand shovel and water balloon might come in handy.
We're prepared.
