One's destiny is inevitable even if it takes considerable time to arrive. For example, I'm sure he'll be wealthy one day, though the mills of the gods grind slowly. This expression comes from ancient Greek, translated as "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind small." In English it appeared in George Herbert's […]

My mom just called and told me to check out a website that she just read about, www.freenightoftheater.net. And I wanted to share it with you my blog friends. This Thursday at noon, you can get online and order 2 tickets to a local Play of your choice. We live close to Cincinnati and are very fortunate to have many theaters to choose from. My mom, sister, and I have been season tickets holders to the Arronoff Center for a long time, which allows us to see alot of plays every year. If going to a play is something that you have always wanted to do, or try, get online on Thursday at noon, they say tickets go fast and give it a try. You can go there now and see what will be available on Thursday, my mom and I are going to try for two different plays so hopefully we can go twice! The article also says to check back as more plays and venues are being added all the time.
Here are just a couple of the many plays that we have really enjoyed over the years!
Good luck, and see you at the theater! Sue

Caesar Salad
Caesar Salad
Still in a post-holiday salad mode… I enjoy all manner of fresh green salads but a really well made classic Caesar is my favorite. Compared to many salad dressings a Caesar salad can be lower in fat than most tossed green salads.
The exact recipe for the first Caesar salad is surrounded in legend. There are many great recipes for a Caesar Salad. The common denominator for most of them includes romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese, garlic and croutons. Anchovies and a coddled (soft boiled) egg also frequently appear, especially in my Caesar salads. Black pepper, Dijon mustard, wine vinegar, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce all show up in many very good variations.
The size of the pieces of the romaine lettuce can vary from composing the salad with whole, uncut leaves, using only the tender hearts, to cutting the leaves into smaller, more manageable pieces (many expensive restaurants insist on serving the salad with whole leaves, pretty, but requires some work on the part of the diner to eat gracefully). Homemade croutons are especially nice but once again, many fine restaurants love serving croutons that are sometimes so large (and hard) caution must be used to avoid damage to one's soft palate and dental work.
A Caesar salad is easily turned into a main dish by adding grilled meats or seafood. Salmon or thinly sliced rare grilled tri-tip are my top choices.
This is my preferred Caesar salad variation; the recipe will serve two.
1 medium head romaine lettuce washed & dried
1 coddled egg (method follows, see below)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 small clove fresh garlic, mashed
½ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup grated or shaved parmesan cheese
freshly ground coarse black pepper
croutons (good quality store-bought or home made)
4-6 good quality whole anchovies for garnish
In the bottom of a large salad bowl mash the garlic clove with the salt to make a puree. With a fork combine the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and olive oil.
Remove the coarse outer leaves of the lettuce and cut or tear into desired size pieces and place on top on the garlic mixture.
Gently scoop the egg from its shell and place on top of the lettuce and toss everything very well to break up the egg and coat all of the lettuce leaves with the dressing. Add the croutons and half of the parmesan cheese, toss again. Place the anchovies on top and serve with lots of freshly cracked black pepper over all. Serve right away.
To coddle an egg: Place a very fresh egg in a saucepan and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil over high heat and remove from the heat. Let stand in the hot water for one minute. Carefully crack the egg over a small bowl and with a teaspoon scoop the semi-liquid egg out to use in a Caesar salad. If serving eggs that are not completely cooked is of concern the egg can be omitted. Increase the olive oil by 1 tablespoon.

Introduction 介绍
The Chinese EFL Journal is a new, refereed publication which aims at providing free on-line access to all those involved in the research, teaching and learning of English in China. This is a wide-ranging field examining how language teaching and learning is structured in China, how meanings and ideas are formed and encoded, how they are communicated and represented, and how they are decoded and interpreted. It is a developing social sciences discipline which is increasingly reaching across into other disciplinary areas. The Chinese EFL Journal intends to represent this dynamism and seeks to provide a platform for publication of studies from those in China (academics, teachers and students) or those who have taught English in China as part of their sabbatical or teaching sojourn.
We invite articles that are research-based and also address how the English language is taught in various Chinese contexts. Additionally, new literature will be reviewed to keep readers informed of advances in the field.
We invite you to contribute to The Chinese EFL Journal, access the site regularly and provide feedback on what you read.

An alien named Hollus arrives at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. He's looking for a paleontologist with whom to discuss the mysteries of the universe. Resident scientist Tom Jericho and Hollus begin a conversation that focuses on the scientific evidence Hollus lays out for the existence of God. Jonathan Davis portrays a thoughtful and quietly introspective Jericho, a man who maintains a restrained and narrow range of emotions as he seriously reconsiders his atheism. As the conversation with Hollus continues, Davis keeps a steady pace and reflects the intellectual engagement of both characters. He presents the alien's speech as lightly studied, a fitting style for a non-English speaker who coordinates his speech between two mouths. J.E.M.

There are a lot of side effects to the drugs I take. I choose to continue putting them in my mouth as I've trialed what it is like to be on nothing at all. The benefits unfortunately outweigh the detriments.
The Cymbalta has given me a new and interesting one that I haven't dealt with before. It is less obnoxious than the metallic taste I permanently got in my mouth from the Wellbutrin but not by much. These days, any time I wake up from sleep I have entirely blurred vision. It makes it hard to read and I would never even think about driving. It only lasts somewhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours but I don't really like drugs messing with something as important as my eyesight. Argh.
As a result, I'm indulging in my one bad habit for breakfast: a nice, tall glass of Diet Coke :)

While it can be tempting to lump clients together by industry or size, doing so would be a disservice to them and to us. Businesses have unique needs, and a business that needed one thing today might need something different tomorrow. One of our most important jobs at the beginning of a project is to understand what business goals are driving the project. The more we know about those goals, the easier it is for us to distill them to a project strategy.
After discovery, we work with each client to articulate a crisp, unambiguous, objective threshold for success. If the goals are broad business imperatives, the strategy is a tight target that drives development. This is tremendously important because it builds trust. Nothing is hidden, everyone knows the target, and any subjective questions about how to proceed are evaluated against it.
When we say, "It's not about the code," we mean that while quality of code is tremendously important, that only matters if the final deliverable works as it should and meets client goals. While the needs of the project determine the tools used and the form of the finished product, we employ certain core principles regardless of the technology or the project. These are the result of years of experience and a relentless focus on delivery.
"productOps helps you deliver something better than you thought it could be because they bring intelligence, experience, savvy, passion and a questioning nature."
"productOps simply dealt with every complexity we threw at them. I never had to worry about it – they just got it done the way we wanted."
"We originally engaged productOps as a developer shop, but quickly realized they could make a much larger strategic contribution. The speed with which they were able to develop deep domain expertise was quite amazing."
"I wouldn't use anyone else. Every time I've needed something done in a pinch and I need the best people on it, I just go to productOps."
"This was a major endeavor. productOps simply got it done – 100% delivery."
"The productOps team has impressed us on so many levels. They focus like a laser beam on demonstrable outcomes. They are tireless, and they balance long-term thinking with short-term action. Since they came aboard to help us with strategy, the benefits to us have been nothing short of astounding."

yesCoder is a program to hide data in ASCII text files. It can also be used to format ASCII text files. Hiding data means that the data is coded into an ASCII text file. The idea is that this ASCII text file (a poem, a story, technical documentation, etc.) looks so innocent that no one would guess that therein is some interesting data. If you have the need to hide some data like passwords, accounts, phone numbers, etc., so that no one can find it, yesCoder is the right tool for you. You even may send this coded data to other persons via email.
SNOW is a utility for concealing messages in ASCII text by appending whitespace to the end of lines. Because spaces and tabs are generally not visible in text viewers, messages concealed with whitespace are effectively hidden from casual observers. If SNOW's built-in encryption is used, the message cannot be read even if it is detected. SNOW exploits the Steganographic Nature Of Whitespace, similar to finding a polar bear in a snowstorm; hence the name.

You probably noticed a surprise drop in my writing output over the past few months. 2014 is a time of transition for me—I moved to Seattle, I am about to move again within Seattle (buying a house, so hopefully it'll be a long, long time before I have to move again), after a year away from doing live projects, I once again have architecture clients with ever-changing needs, I began playing the bass guitar after a too-long hiatus (I can't tell what's crazier: that as of last week my wife and I have been married eleven years or that this fall will mark my 25th year of playing the bass), I visited Budapest for the first time as an adult, I'm once again shifting my writing focus (maybe), I'm hoping to grow Shoegnome beyond just me being me (probably), and much more. I am eager for this fall when life may be a bit calmer (or at least theoretically more stable). Fat chance. My oldest daughter starts kindergarten in a few months, I'm going to try to have my daughters home with me instead of at after school care, and I have a feeling my architectural workload will just continue to increase. All great things, but all stressful things.
Part 1: Unconscious BIM
I have been using ArchiCAD regularly over the past year, but always for research and theory purposes. As such, I was interacting with the program differently than I was when practicing full time. While I am much more knowledgeable with certain aspects of the program, other bits are very rusty. The most glaring shift was I had forgotten so many of my shortcuts and workflow efficiencies (unglamorous stuff). This really slowed me down, causing much frustration. When I thought "I need to use the split command" or "hide guidelines", I had no idea what keys to press. I had to fumble around, using menus or onscreen buttons. Then a strange thing happened. Once I had established flow—once I had been working for a few minutes and returned to my comfort zone—, I stopped thinking about what I needed to do and my muscle memory kicked in. I relaxed and ArchiCAD became invisible. I stopping thinking and instead just acted. All my old knowledge returned.
I have talked in the past about the importance of the invisibility of tools, and how this is a major barrier in the transition from analog to digital. And here was a clear example of this being surmounted. The first few times the barrier between thought and ArchiCAD vanished, I was caught of guard. I tried to replicate the key command, or workflow short cut that I had just used, but I couldn't. I had no idea what I had just done. Once I was conscious of the act, I couldn't do it. I didn't actively know what I was doing, only passively. So I had to start working again, distract myself and when I returned to the proper mindset I could execute the shortcuts without thinking. It was really cool. The less I thought about ArchiCAD, the better I functioned within the tool.
Part 2: Ugly BIM
It took me about 40 hours of working in the model (starting from a blank template) before I finally passed the Ugly Duckling phase of the model. It shouldn't have taken that long, but like I said I was rusty. I had forgotten some shortcuts and efficiencies. And I was testing out some new processes, which once again turned my workflows upside down. But that's how I like to work. Find a good solution then break it in hopes of finding a better solution. Then break that one…
Have you experienced the Ugly Duckling phase of BIM? It's like Junior High. Everyone will one day (hopefully) be smart, beautiful, and functional human beings. But in Junior High we are all awkward and confused and just a mess. So too is it with BIM—at least in ArchiCAD. I'm guess it's the same with Revit and others. As you put in data, your file is a jumble. Different things are prioritized, you're aware of problems you'd get to ignore if you were doing the work by hand or CAD. You feel a bit embarrassed by the drawings, by the model, by how much time you've spent with seemingly nothing to show. (I've written about this before). But you are focusing on the right things. You're making sure the design works, you're validating all the subsurface stuff that makes a project function well.
And then you add a room label or fix some materials or just otherwise do a little cleanup. Suddenly you realize you are insanely far along and things are starting to look great. The model has matured. The pieces have come together. You are out of Junior High. The ugly duckling has become a swan. Yes cliché alert. But this is purposeful. I want to give you the analogy to comfort yourself in the depths of early work and also to help explain what's going on to your confused bosses.
This is SUPER important for new users of BIM to understand. For them it's all new and all Junior High. For a long time, until things click and they've made it through the pain and seen the end. Think about that. Learning ArchiCAD or Revit after learning how to function as an architect by hand is like traveling back in time from your senior year of college to being 13 again. And then if you don't work hard to escape, you end up being 13 forever. FOREVER. No wonder BIM gets shit upon and is often the scapegoat for larger systemic failures.
Until we recognize this ugly time we can't combat it. Until we shorten this ugly time and master it, we'll always lose every battle and argument about designing and thinking within a digital environment.
If I had a picture of me in Junior High, I'd share it with this post. But I don't. Maybe I'll ask my mom to e-mail me a photo. Or not because good god, I just want to forget that time ever existed. Just the worst. Subscribe to my blog to read more about the tricky world of being an Architect in the 21st century: Shoegnome on Facebook, Twitter, and the RSS feed. Are you interested in guest blogging on Shoegnome? Ideally I want to have 2 to 4 guest posts a month. E-mail me.

30 Things:
#14 Describe 5 strengths you have.
Once I make up my mind - my decision is solid. I don't waver back and forth and I don't get influenced by other people's opinion (this too can be a weakness, but I choose to look at it in a positive light).
I have always had a strong sense of self and I work really hard at staying true to myself.
My Friendships/Relationships - I'm strength for my friends and they are strength for me through good times and bad.
I'm a mean hooker.
I keep moving forward - no matter how much I want to give up. I'm persistent (maybe that's why I'm in sales)
What's one of your strengths?

Corporate Branding Case Study: West Wales Dental
Carmarthen based West Wales Dental asked us to help them completely refresh their corporate branding. over the years it had become dated and disjointed.
To this end a series of meetings were held at their Carmarthen clinic and our Pembrokeshire design studio where their corporate branding was discussed in detail with our in house graphic designers. It was agreed that what they needed was a clean, uncluttered corporate brand that ran through all their print and website designs.
It was decided to make good use of client testimonials on all their marketing material along with plenty of white space and their new corporate colour - red.
The result of this can be seen above and was greatly appreciated by West Wales Dental. Indeed, they have subsequently asked us to create booklets for them to better reflect their new corporate branding.

Pope Paul VI Quotes About CatholicismQuotes about: Catholicism
Christ did not found an abstract religion, a mere school of religious thought. He setup a community of apostles, of teachers, with the task of spreading His message and so giving rise to a society of believers: His Church. He promised the Spirit of truth to His Church and then sent Him.
Is he prepared to support, at his own expense, projects and undertakings designed to help the needy? Is he prepared to pay higher taxes so that public authorities may expand their efforts in the work of development? Is he prepared to pay more for imported goods, so that the foreign producer may make a fairer profit? Is he prepared to emigrate from his homeland if necessary and if he is young, in order to help the emerging nations?
Pope Paul VI
- Born: September 26, 1897
- Died: August 6, 1978

Pollinators in peril
Staff Report
Exposure to systemic neonicotinoid pesticides causes queen bumblebees to lay 26 percent fewer eggs. That rate of decline could result in the extinction of some wild bumblebee populations, according to researchers at the University of Guelph.
Specifically, researcher Nigel Raine studied the impact of thiamoxin, one of the commonly used neonicotinoids, finding that exposure reduces the chances of a bumblebee queen starting a new colony by more than a quarter. Continue reading "Neonicotinoid pesticide stifles bumblebee egg-laying"

1.1 This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with, and as an add-on to, Guide F2751 and Guide F2752 (or equivalent for other environments), to address the specific knowledge and skills required for a rescuer who participates in rope rescue at a higher level of responsibility and complexity.
1.1.1 Specifically, this guide is intended to define the training that would prepare an endorsed Level II Rope Rescuer (LRT-R2) or equivalent (under qualified supervision) to assist and support rope rescue operations at an intermediate level, including patient packaging, litter rigging, ascending and descending fixed ropes in a high angle environment, and constructing raising and lowering systems, in conjunction with other rescue duties.
1.1.2 This guide establishes the minimum training standard for an endorsed LRT-R2 Rescuer as related to general, field, and rope rescue-specific knowledge and skills.
1.1.3 An endorsed LRT-R2 Rescuer must work under the direct supervision of qualified rope rescue personnel.
1.2 An endorsed LRT-R2 Rescuer performs rope rescues in low and high angle terrain, and may serve as a litter attendant in low (but not high) angle terrain. An endorsed LRT-R2 Rescuer is capable of safely assisting rope rescuers who have higher level endorsements.
1.2.1 This guide alone does not provide the minimum training requirements for performing or assisting in rescues that occur in partially or fully collapsed structures, in or on water, in confined spaces, or underground (such as in caves, mines, and tunnels).
1.3 An endorsed LRT-R2 Rescuer is required to have knowledge and skill sets pertaining to the intermediate subject evacuation component of rope rescue. These include but are not limited to patient packaging, construction of an anchor system, construction of simple and compound rope mechanical advantage systems, and construction and use of lowering (fixed-brake) rope systems.
1.4 Type II teams, as defined in Guide F1993, which may utilize personnel trained to this guide are Kind A (wilderness), Kind B (urban), and Kind C (mountainous).
1.4.1 Further training may be required before an endorsed LRT-R2 Rescuer can actually participate on a particular kind of rope rescue team, depending on AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) regulations or policies.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

"Great Veggie Sunday Roast!"
Reviewed 22 January 2013
Being a veggie, it is not always easy to find a pub that does a Sunday Roast with such enthusiasm… My husband and I had tried a couple of times to have lunch there but it was always full.We should have booked but we don't always know our plans in advance.This particular Sunday, we took a chance and found a table for four. The waitresses and the bar staff we wonderful.Very quick and very attentive. Our food arrived-yummy-but my plate came with lashings of gravy, which I do not like! When our waitress came by to ask if everything was ok; I explained…in a few minutes I had another plate of delicious food bar the gravy! That's what I call service!! And she was smiling…We had a lovely time- the place was buzzing with people eating,talking and enjoying themselves.
We will definitely go again. They must be doing something right- this place is always packed!
Classy,vogue-ish gastro
"This Richmond pub has reinvented itself from a rugby-and-pad Thai joint to a classy, vogue-ish gastro. The food is suitably delicious, such as pan fried sea bream or prawn and scallop ravioli"
Trusted Places
Shiny New Richmond Gastropub
"This is a perfectly formed gastropub with a comfy bar area towards the entrance and the main dining area to the rear, complete with mis-matched furniture and above average pub food."
"Our waitress assured us it [The Sticky Toffee Pudding] was the best around, and she was right – good consistency pudding with very delicious toffee sauce, kind of like a salted caramel sauce, and creamy praline ice cream. A gold star on the STP rating list"

"jonrev" is a self-taught photographer who has been committing crimes of knowledge and sneaking into places your mom told you not to go for nearly a decade. His art and research are published as the [jonrevProjects]; abbreviated: JRP.
Based somewhere between Chicago and Milwaukee: much of his work was sparked by the decline and eventual demolition of Lakehurst Mall in 2004. The documentation and research of which led him to the infamous Dixie Square Mall (of 'The Blues Brothers'-fame), and the rest is history. Exploring, researching and penning the final chapter in the history of many great buildings has since become his signature work. His compulsive disregard for trespassing laws intend to advocate for historic preservation, challenge the viewer's moral balance between curiosity and property boundaries, and question what was, what could be – and in many unfortunate cases, what could have been.
About jonrev.com
Our mission is to preserve & educate… by whatever means necessary.
After years of using Flickr as means of presentation: this blog – a dumping ground for my demented history lessons and other irreverent nonsense – was launched in late 2014 and serves-up a regular dose of abandoned buildings, weird local (i.e.: Chicagoland) history, relics salvaged from the aforementioned, commentary on the disgusting state of "urbex culture", and graffiti/street art documentation. Side-effects include ramblings about retail history, motoring, amusement park travels, instant film exploits and whatever I otherwise see fit. In other words… I don't write clickbait.

Because I can.
Because it's cheap.
Because it's educational.
Because it's fun, dammit.
Is this legal?
Short version: no.
-Don't try this if you don't use your brain. Seriously, the risk usually isn't worth that lame #selfie.
-Use a real flashlight, not your phone with 12% battery.
-Bring spare batteries.
-Bring more spare batteries.
-If the air quality sucks, get a mask or don't breathe it. You don't want fungus in your lungus.
-Asbestos… it's usually grey and very fibrous. Don't disturb it and you'll be fine.
-Don't wear your three year-old shredded Vans or Converse, rusty nails and stuff have quite the kink for those. Boots, steel-toe, steel shank if you can… don't get cheap Kmart crap.
-Camera's optional, but bring it if that's your thing.
-Don't bring anything that screams "burglary tools"; see below regarding entry…
-Don't be a dick.
-Don't get caught.
No, I meant tips for locations.
Uhm… try 1060 W. Addison.
You dick, you sent me to Wrigley Field. At least tell me how to find these places?
They're everywhere, just have to look while going about your day, or spend some time farting around on Google Maps. Ride commuter rail… you'll often find industrial sites along the tracks. Networking with other reprobates does help; but all the smart ones are tight-lipped around new people.
It's (probably) not that we hate you – but the reason we'll give you the address to a certain ballpark if you ask for handouts is because too often the right info was given to the wrong idiot who got the place sealed or torn down. This is a hobby based 110% on smarts and trust, which is earned over time and experience – not by Instasham DM's.
How do you get in?
Find a way. Do not break-and-enter (B&E is a felony and a whole different can of worms* from a trespassing ticket), but in many cases: if a place has been abandoned long enough, chances are someone's already made an entry point. If it's not obvious, there are other telltale signs that suggest a spot's doable… but I keep those secret. Get creative, if nothing else.
*jonrev is NOT a lawyer… take this advice and make your own judgement call. Don't sue me.
What happened to "take only pictures, leave only footprints", you fuckin thief??
"Help, police… someone's stealing garbage." Our society becoming so overly-wasteful is what happened. There's no reason something historic, useful or just plain cool should – in the name of some dipshit self-righteous bylaws – be left for ultimate destruction or dumped in a landfill when a historical society (or I) may have a use for it. If I shoots, I loots.
What do you shoot with? Can you help me take better pictures?
Digital: your run of the mill, entry-level DSLR. Model is irrelevant, they all do the same basic thing. Buy whatever you like, RTFM, leave it in MANUAL, play with your ISO, shutter and aperture, learn from your first 5,000 pictures. They will suck, and if you keep at it you will get better. Good composition is key. Invest in a tripod for low light. Don't cheap-out on one, either… Manfrotto or equivalent. Remotes or cable releases are really nice to have, too. I never use flash except for studio work (a crude setup of firing a speedlight on the camera set to a long exposure, then manually triggering a number of vintage camera flashes to finish off the shadows… hey, if it's stupid but it works, then it isn't stupid) so I can't really help you, there.
As for processing software: whatever you feel works. I personally use an ancient version of Photoshop Elements because it's no-frills. Abandoned work calls for mucho bracketing and blending (HDR) due to the drastic lighting contrasts. For this, I use a free program called Picturenaut to make the composite, then finish off the final contrast and color adjustments in Elements. Oh yeah, and please don't overdo the post-processing… there's absolutely no reason a spooky abandoned church has to look like a pile of clown vomit.
Film: exclusively old-school, American-made Polaroid Land Cameras… that's right, instant film. Not that plastic, full-retard auto flash/auto exposure Instax crap, either. Integral stuff (the stuff you watch develop in your hand) is usually shot on readily-available Impossible Project stock with a folding SX-70 or SLR-680 SE. Yeah it's expensive, but think before you shoot. Packfilm (older, peel-apart type) is usually shot with a Polaroid 195 rig on Fuji FP-100C for color, or FP-3000B for B/W… sadly, neither of which are in production, anymore. The 195 is metered with a Gossen LunaPro SBC and I highly recommend that particular meter because it beats the piss out of any app, and 9v batteries are cheap.
On rare occasion, I dick around with 35mm and other analog formats. Getting it processed locally, however, is almost impossible these days, and largely why I stick to instant.
SEPTEMBER 2017 UPDATE: The Impossible Project has rebranded as Polaroid Originals… same thing.
What's with the Max Headroom mask?
Personal hero…
Can I have your babies?
That depends. Applications will be assessed on an individual basis.
I'm a model; will you take me to, and shoot me in those places?
Will you shoot my wedding?
Will you shoot my car/building for sale/cat(s)/anything not involving people?
I'm an editor for CNNowBuzzViceNet.com and we're doing a story/slideshow on [subject], may we use your work for free so that we can make bank off the ad revenue? We'll give you credit… tasty, tasty credit…
Surely you've got the internet and a modern cell phone or some kind of digital camera; why don't you research the history of and how to get to a spot, get yourself to said spot that may or may not be in a hostile location, get yourself through said location alive and not-arrested, learn to take and process your own pictures that meet certain quality standards, pay the bill every year to keep your own blog running, then write your own damn narratives that hopefully entertain and educate your audience. Vultures fuck off!
I'm writing for a nonprofit/zine/small blog/school presentation on [subject], may I use your work for one of the aforementioned?
Probably – hit me up on the Contact page and let's work something out.
Are you cool irl?

Unanswered: How does Access know how to delete a record?
One of my last threads here was about finding the code that runs when a toolbar button is pressed. izyrider has helped me get the the properties for the button. However, On Action is blank. So where's the code? The toolbar button deletes a record from my database. Can Access just know how to do this, or code has to have been written to carry out the delete?
The reason I care is, when I press the delete button, the delete fails. The error is "ODBC--delete on a linked table 'Products' failed." Then the next line: "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired (#0)." I want to change the delete operation to call a stored procedure (not that that will help with this error), but where's the code?
Or, in general, how can I investigate the cause of this error when I don't even know what happens after I press the button?

It seems the menu has been set up so that when Delete Record is chosen, an intrinsic Access command runs which (unsuccessfully) deletes the current record. If I want control over how this is handled, I override the intrinsic command with my own custom command. Then I can issue the Delete however I want.
Can someone corroborate this is correct?

from the VBA help menu:
Delete Event
See AlsoApplies ToExampleSpecificsOccurs when the user performs some action, such as pressing the DEL key, to delete a record, but before the record is actually deleted.
Private Sub Form_Delete(Cancel As Integer)
Cancel The setting determines if the Delete event occurs. Setting the Cancel argument to True (1) cancels the Delete event.
To run a macro or event procedure when these events occur, set the OnDelete, BeforeDelConfirm, or AfterDelConfirm property to the name of the macro or to [Event Procedure].
After a record is deleted, it's stored in a temporary buffer. The BeforeDelConfirm event occurs after the Delete event (or if you've deleted more than one record, after all the records are deleted, with a Delete event occurring for each record), but before the Delete Confirm dialog box is displayed. Canceling the BeforeDelConfirm event restores the record or records from the buffer and prevents the Delete Confirm dialog box from being displayed.
The AfterDelConfirm event occurs after a record or records are actually deleted or after a deletion or deletions are canceled. If the BeforeDelConfirm event isn't canceled, the AfterDelConfirm event occurs after the Delete Confirm dialog box is displayed. The AfterDelConfirm event occurs even if the BeforeDelConfirm event is canceled. The AfterDelConfirm event procedure returns status information about the deletion. For example, you can use a macro or event procedure associated with the AfterDelConfirm event to recalculate totals affected by the deletion of records.
If you cancel the Delete event, the BeforeDelConfirm and AfterDelConfirm events don't occur and the Delete Confirm dialog box isn't displayed.
Note The BeforeDelConfirm and AfterDelConfirm events don't occur and the Delete Confirm dialog box isn't displayed if you clear the Record Changes check box under Confirm on the Edit/Find tab of the Options dialog box, available by clicking Options on the Tools menu.
By running a macro or an event procedure when the Delete event occurs, you can prevent a record from being deleted or allow a record to be deleted only under certain conditions. You can also use a Delete event to display a dialog box asking whether the user wants to delete a record before it's deleted.
To delete a record, you can click Delete Record on the Edit menu. This deletes the current record (the record indicated by the record selector). You can also click the record selector or click Select Record on the Edit menu to select the record, and then press the DEL key to delete it. If you click Delete Record, the record selector of the current record, or Select Record, the Exit and LostFocus events for the control that has the focus occur. If you've changed any data in the record, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events for the record occur before the Exit and LostFocus events. If you click the record selector of a different record, the Current event for that record also occurs.
After you delete the record, the focus moves to the next record following the deleted record, and the Current event for that record occurs, followed by the Enter and GotFocus events for the first control in that record.
The BeforeDelConfirm event then occurs, just before Microsoft Access displays the Delete Confirm dialog box asking you to confirm the deletion. After you respond to the dialog box by confirming or canceling the deletion, the AfterDelConfirm event occurs.
You can delete one or more records at a time. The Delete event occurs after each record is deleted. This enables you to access the data in each record before it's actually deleted, and selectively confirm or cancel each deletion in the Delete macro or event procedure. When you delete more than one record, the Current event for the record following the last deleted record and the Enter and GotFocus events for the first control in this record don't occur until all the records are deleted. In other words, a Delete event occurs for each selected record, but no other events occur until all the selected records are deleted. The BeforeDelConfirm and AfterDelConfirm events also don't occur until all the selected records are deleted.
You can use a Delete macro to display the Delete Confirm dialog box asking whether the user wants to delete a record before it's deleted.
You can use a BeforeDelConfirm or AfterDelConfirm macro to respond whenever the user deletes a record. However, the BeforeDelConfirm and AfterDelConfirm macros can't set the argument determining whether the Delete Confirm dialog box is displayed and can't return the argument indicating the status of the deletion, so you typically use event procedures with these events.
You can use the CancelEvent action in a Delete macro to cancel the deletion.
You can use the CancelEvent action in a BeforeDelConfirm macro to cancel the deletion of all the deleted records. If you do this, the Delete Confirm dialog box isn't displayed. However, the AfterDelConfirm event occurs even if you cancel the BeforeDelConfirm event.
You can't use the CancelEvent action in an AfterDelConfirm macro.
The following example shows how you can prevent a user from deleting records from a table.
To try this example, add the following event procedure to a form that is based on a table. Switch to form Datasheet view and try to delete a record.
Private Sub Form_Delete(Cancel As Integer) Cancel = True MsgBox "This record can't be deleted." End Sub

You've recently leased a great office space for your company. Aggressive tenant improvement negotiations yielded customized design with open plan and some private spaces. It's in a great spot, with close proximity to transportation, restaurants, and business services. You feel pretty good about the new digs, except that productivity and morale don't seem as high as originally forecasted. Something is lacking—the pizazz of bright color accents; a different configuration of desks and workstations; or crazy, pure fun items like Microsoft's slide between office floors.
Cash is in short supply after the expense of a move, so the slide is definitely out. How can you transform your office space from ordinary to inspiring, and bring back a sparkle in the eye and spring in the step of your employees?
Take a look around the office—how much sunshine is finding its way to the workstations? Natural light is scientifically proven to elevate mood, increase general well-being, and improve health. These benefits not only translate into high morale, but have also been shown to increase productivity and reduce absenteeism. One study noted that natural light benefits are so great that some European countries require that workers be within 27 feet of a window!
While the office layout model of past decades was to assign access to light and views according to status, today companies organize floor plans around spatial equity. Open plans often are located along a window wall, so that all workstations receive the benefit of the magic of sunshine. Where that is not possible, at least one common area should be filled with natural light, such as a break room, a communal work area or some other sanctuary where workers can repair with a dose of vitamin D.
Businesses in the process of designing office space might consider an atrium in the center of the office that will disperse ample light to every hidden, dark corner. Skylights can be added to fill the office space with sunlight, and to reduce the need for fluorescent lighting. If increasing natural light in the workplace is not a current option, the company may consider providing full-spectrum lights that mimic the appearance of natural light.
Studies show that ergonomic furniture and equipment increase productivity and employee satisfaction. Not only do employees suffer less eye strain, back and neck discomfort, and carpal tunnel and other repetitive injuries, but they also feel valued by a company willing to invest more for their health and well-being. Replacing chairs that contribute to back strain and spending a few dollars per employee on ergonomic keyboards and glare reducers produces a great return on investment.
Do you have a break room vending machine? This is a nice perk for employees, especially when both cold and warm food and beverage items are available. Arrange the breakout areas to be inviting and fun, with bright color, funky furniture, and stimulating activities that recharge flagging batteries (see "whimsy," below).
Finally, keep the temperature comfortable, and even better, have different temperature zones, so that employees can adjust it. Adjustable lighting is also a perk that affects satisfaction. When personnel can exercise control over their direct environment, they are happier and more productive.
Flexible Space
Open plans are excellent for collaboration, but can sometimes be noisy and distracting. A productive workplace balances the need for this cooperative atmosphere with quiet areas that allow focused work. Collaborative areas benefit from quirky settings where folks can meet casually around tall standing tables or have informal meetings in beanbag chairs. Quiet work spaces, in contrast, aim for tranquility, and should be a pleasing sanctuary from the rest of the busy workplace.
Adaptable workspaces have infrastructure that is easily reconfigured to accommodate changes in departments or staff sizes. Furniture and workstation setups that can be easily taken apart and rearranged to adapt to organization changes not only reduces churn costs and minimizes disruption, but also keeps the workspace fresh and interesting without investing more capital.
Just a word about "desk rage:" how much time are your employees spending chasing down IT personnel for help with aging computers? Are they hiking to a different floor to use the copier, since the closest one is always on the fritz? Flexible space should not mean that the employees range all over the building looking for some equipment that actually works. Failing and poorly maintained technology causes frustration and wastes your employees' time. Find money in the budget to update problem equipment, and keep a responsible maintenance schedule on everything else.
A little splash of color here and there to break up the business beige, or a surprising and unusual finish on the wall can add much to a space. We'll leave those details to your interior decorator, and will only comment on bringing a little bit of nature indoors. Plants can reduce stress and improve air quality in tightly sealed buildings, and are aesthetically pleasing for both clients and employees. Calming water features bring tranquility and beauty to reception areas or other common spaces.
Manmade art can also be soothing, inspiring, or engaging, depending on your choices. Investing in art in any of its forms can bring a great deal of pleasure to employees and also help identify your company's brand and instill pride in the workplace.
Perhaps the most effective investment in décor you can make for your business won't cost you anything. Encouraging employees to decorate their own space has been proven to increase productivity. Photos of loved ones, pictures of a cherished national park, tacked-up children's drawings or a beloved collection of frog figurines can go a long way toward the happiness and comfort of employees. Even if their interior decorating scheme does not quite complement the office space's decor, resist the temptation to override the employees' design style. Workers in a recent study who were able to customize their workspaces had 30% higher productivity and well-being measures over those in undecorated office space.
Even responsible, productive adults need to play when work gets exhausting. Many big-name companies throw the old parental adage, "work before play" out the window and provide all kinds of play things to rejuvenate employees during the workday. Google's headquarters in Toronto has music rooms, mini golf, and arcade games for a bit of rest and stimulation between work hours. A giant Jenga set in the break room, a foosball table, or a pile of Legos can provide enjoyable respite when the eyes feel prickly and the muscles need stretching.
Whimsical décor also lightens the heart and elevates the mood. Chunky, bright colored furniture in quiet space, or a screenwall made of recycled items like hockey sticks (another idea from Google's Toronto office) can instill pride in the company's identity and workspace.
Space that inspires
Transforming an uninspiring workplace to an environment that both stimulates and motivates personnel takes some thought, but very little cash. A little sunlight here, a little playfulness there, and a lot of commitment to the health and comfort of employees will bring back the sparkle in the eye and enjoyment of work that translates into greater innovation and productivity.

But you really needed to go and rest and be w mom again and i get really down that's what I think of . I have a feeling your much happier now then you were ,living . I know someday we will be together again and unfortunatly we lost so many along the way ,but this way we will have a hell of a party when all is said and done .

Project School Visit:
Delaware Central School
On January the 14th, 2004, we visited Delaware's Delaware Central School. Below is a picture and a letter we received from there.
by Jessica
What an exciting way for our students and staff to learn first hand about endangered species and peregrine falcons. Thank you so much for visiting our school and sharing your expertise through such an interesting presentation. Maya Basdeo captured the inquisitive minds of our students and answered their questions honestly and competently. It is so obvious that she loves her job ~ and so does the falcon!
We are grateful to the TD Canada Trust - Friends of the Environment for their generous funding, thus allowing the falcon and her handler to attend our school, present their program and leave valuable learning materials.
I do hope the peregrines will again return to the Canada Trust Building in downtown London to re-build a home. A local focus would be wonderful to monitor.
Thank you again for your generosity and interest in providing this dynamic presentation to our children.

- Greetings CitizensI hope this missive finds you in good health and fortune, as am I in anticipation of Carnivale this Saturday. Unfortunately not all among us are so blessed with the comforts we want, or the necessities we need for even for mere continuation. In this light, I would like to establish the Lord Mayor's Office for Special Needs, and appoint as its overseer my lady wife, Mistress Sarafina Sinclair, to ask your help with two causes dear to our hearts. I turn this missive over to her.GreetingsThe first cause is one for the aid of one of our own. Baroness Mor the Merry, our Regional MoAS is single-handedly raising her infant grandson Austin, who is afflicted with several birth defects. He requires intensive round-the-clock care which has caused her to miss massive amounts of time from work, and he needs expensive drugs and special feeding formulas ($40 per 8 oz. can), both of which have strained her ability to make just the basic ends meet. I would like to set up a Silent Auction table at Carnivale, and am seeking donations of goods and the support of all of you attending. She has given so much of herself to two kingdoms, and now she could use a little in return.Second is the Glass Slipper project, a means for underpriviledged teen girls to receive donations of gowns and accessories so they may attend their Junior and Senior Proms. Any donations of wearable gowns and shoes, or patterns and suitable fabrics will be greatly appreciated. Plus sizes are especially needed. I will be collecting these at Carnivale and the next week at R.U.M. in Greyhope. I can also arrange to make pickups if needed in Ayreton.Thank you all for your time and support.Mistress Sarafina SinclairTHL Etienne le Couteau des Roches

In an effort to reduce the costs of childcare for working parents or legal guardians, the Chancellor announced that from 5 April 2005 employers can provide childcare vouchers up to a value of 50 per week free from tax and national insurance contributions. Human resources consultant Sandra Beale explains how the scheme works.
To take advantage of this tax beneficial offer the employee formally agrees to give up part of their salary in exchange for the vouchers. This is known as salary sacrifice. Their employer also needs to have negotiated and implemented a voucher scheme with an appropriate provider.
This is a positive move that will encourage employers to provide assistance with childcare costs and mutual tax...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — For a growing number of kids, school ends at age 18 and a life of work begins.
College still has advantages, but the rising cost of college education has put it out of reach for many high schoolers. Not going to college doesn't have to mean a low paying job.
There is more work available than you might think even if college isn't in your kids' plans.
The idea behind career fairs like the NW Youth Careers Expo is to capture a kid's interest, to spark a fire or help create a career passion, with no college required.
As she worked her way through Gunderson Incorporated's demonstration, Deazhane Carter discovered things she's passionate about.
Welding is one of them.
"It just excites me so much, I love it so much," Carter told KOIN 6 News. "You don't even understand. I go to Benson, so we have welding as a major. It just excites me."
Those are magical words to hear from the mouth of a high school student if you're a parent or a career counselor.
Gunderson Incorporated is a locally-owned builder of rail cars and ocean-going barges. They hired 10 students who came to the NW Youth Career Expo last year and they're still hiring.
"To come to an event like this is very important," said Jeff Powell, the superintendent for Gunderson Welt Tech and Training. "They come through, they get their first shot at welding and as you can see (it) strikes a lot of interest. And from there, they seek their futures."
Entry-level trainees make about $12 an hour, but accomplished welders can make $30 an hour.
Careers without college doesn't have the stigma it once may have had.
Welding, health care and construction trades are thriving, giving more people access to middle class wages without diving into tens of thousands of dollars of college student aid debt.
"I think an event like this is a recognition that there are skilled jobs that require training and experiences that you can only get in the trades," JR Gustafson of the Portland Workforce Alliance said.
The career expo was put on by the Portland Workforce Alliance. They have other similar events, including a Microsoft Career Day next month, plus other helpful things for both employers and students.

Every Japanese business has an English name and there's something very endearing about the fact that they never quite get it right. The best boutique hotel in Fukuoka is called "With the Style"; the largest second-hand book shop is "Book-off" (there's a branch of the same business, which sells second hand computers with the wonderful name of "Hard-off"). I was browsing through Book-off when I can across a book by Alex Kerr called "Lost Japan." What a find it turned out to be. Although Alex Kerr is an American, the book was originally written in Japanese and in 1994 it won the Shincho Gakugei Literature Prize for the best work of non-fiction published in Japan, the first time a foreigner had won the award. The book tells us what it's like to live in Japan and how Japanese society works.
When the author first came to Japan in the 1970's, he noticed that when people left the countryside to live in a town, which they were doing by the thousands, they wouldn't bother to sell their house in the country, they'd just abandon it, sometimes without removing anything – they'd leave the furniture, the bedding, even utensils. He went searching for the house of his dreams in Shikoku and fell in love with an abandoned wooden house with a thatched roof, which he bought for $1,300, and set about restoring. He called it Chiiori, "the house of the flute", and what he did was so unusual that it's now become a tourist attraction.
Alex Kerr laments the loss of the Japan which he first encountered when he arrived in the seventies. But in one respect the Japan which he loved is still there. Strangely, although property prices in the cities are amongst the highest in the world, no-one wants to live in the countryside, which is still littered with abandoned houses, which can be acquired for a song. The irony is that millions in the cities hanker after the Slow Life. If they cared to look they'd find that it's there, right under their noses.

Kellie Maloney breaks down making impassioned speech on transgender at UKIP conference
FORMER boxing promoter Kellie Maloney received a standing ovation from the UKIP faithful when she made an emotional speech at the party's conference today.
Kellie Maloney was comforted by UKIP deputy leader Paul Nuttall following her emotional speech
Ms Maloney - formerly Frank - was close to tears as she bravely read a harrowing poem about a transsexual who committed suicide.
Her surprise appearance at the conference in Margate was hailed by UKIP leader Nigel Farage as proof that his party is "open to everyone".
A long-time UKIP supporter, the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant started her speech by apologising for homophobic comments she made while standing to become London Mayor in 2004.
At the time the high-profile promoter, who represented boxing legend Lennox Lewis, said she would not campaign in Camden because there were "too many gays".
The remarks were made 10 years before she announced she was to undergo a sex change operation last year.
Ms Maloney was close to tears as she read a poem about a transsexual who committed suicide
The long-time UKIP supported apologised for homophobic comments she made in 2004
Today Ms Maloney said: "I have learned to say sorry and apologise if I am wrong.
"I made a terrible mistake in 2004 when I made a derogatory remark about the gay community, and to them I apologise.
"I had to come to terms with myself and accept that I was a transsexual. It is something I hid and something I fought.
"I wanted to transition very quietly, but unfortunately my transition is probably one of the most public events of 2014."
The 62-year-old received a warm welcome from UKIP members as she told them she hoped to help people understand more about transsexual issues.
She was given a standing ovation after reading a poem from two children to their transsexual parent who had committed suicide.
"This poem I am going to read is a really personal poem for me and my family," she said.
"Both my daughters and I met this brother and sister and my daughters feared they might have to do this at my funeral but we pulled through all our dark moments."
Deputy UKIP leader Paul Nuttall comforted Ms Maloney, who received a standing ovation
As the two day conference in Margate came to a close, a UKIP MEP sensationally dropped her bid to enter parliament at the general election for "personal reasons".
The announcement that Diane James will no longer be a candidate came just hours after she delivered a speech to the party's conference in Margate.
Ms James - Ukip's justice and home affairs spokeswoman - is believed to have decided she needs to spend more time with a sick family member.
A party spokesman said: "Diane James is standing down as a PPC in north west Hampshire for purely personal reasons."
Diane James has announced that she is quitting the race to become an MP
