Well for those of you that are missing football right about now, the Marist football team gave it's fans a little taste of what to expect in the fall.
The Red Foxes held their annual spring game under the lights at Tenney Stadium. The team split into 2 squads, red and white, to test themselves and everything they've learned this spring. Now there was a winner in the game, the guys wearing the white jerseys won 27-10 but the guys on the red squad didn't mind the score too much because it was nice to be back on the field and see where they stand right now.
Marist will play it's first home game this fall on September 8th.

MOWM 5: Your Poor, Poor Man
But, a few days later, I actually caught myself thinking about some aspects of the movie (not something I usually do with comedies) and I realized that the movie was full of annoying stereotypes. Sure, you'll say, stereotypes are what makes movies funny! True, but not when they hit close to home.
If you haven't seen the movie and plan to, stop reading now.
Tom and Violet live in San Francisco and get engaged at the beginning of the movie. Tom is a chef at a fancy San Francisco restaurant, while Violet seems to be a PhD in psychology, awaiting an offer of unspecified type from UC Berkeley. Instead, she gets an offer from the University of Michigan to go do a postdoc; they move and it all but destroys their relationship.
Let's put aside the fact that research in Violet's group is presented as a total joke; in the light of that, it makes it hard to believe Violet when she says she's worked so hard to get to the top of her field and that she would not want to quit now, that academia is her life... In my opinion, all academic life is, almost invariably, depicted very inaccurately in movies. But, that is a topic for another post, or perhaps a series, and is not what I want to talk about...
First, very stereotypically, going to Michigan is portrayed as the ultimate in LAAAAAAAME. I am really sick of seeing how life is worth living only in New York, LA, or San Francisco; move anywhere else and you might as well blow your brains out, 'cause your life is totally over. First, Tom can't find a job except at a sandwich shop ('cause there are a total of 5 restaurants in Ann Arbor and there are presumably no other restaurants in the Detroit metro area. People are allowed to enjoy food only in coastal cities.) There is a scene where the whole crew at a restaurant gathers to laugh at Tom for having had a job in San Francisco and having left it to move "here".
The people Tom and Violet meet are fat, bearded, ugly, and terribly dressed. One of Tom's new friends is a male spouse of a University of Michigan faculty member; the guy complains about being a stay-at-home dad, talks about being emasculated by his position (within 10 seconds of meeting Tom at a party), and takes up knitting of the most hideous, misshapen sweaters known to humankind (apparently, that's what people wear in Michigan. 'Cause it's that lame.)
But what got me the most is how downtrodden Tom became about leaving his fancy restaurant job in SF, moving to the seemingly ueber-lame Ann Arbor. He grows unkempt facial hair, starts hunting deer with his hideous-sweater-sporting buddies and makes all-deer meals, looks like he doesn't shower, and is generally just a pathetic mess. All this because his job at a sandwich shop (which by the way several people in the movie say they love) is such an unbearable step down from the fancy restaurant he worked at before. And let's not forget all the snow, which we also know makes life unworthy of living.
This is what completely disgusts me: it's totally OK to ask women to leave their careers and dreams to follow their partners, and nobody bats an eyelash. Violet's sister lectures Violet how she, the sister, who by the way got knocked up accidentally by a total doofus, is now happy and fulfilled being a stay-at-home mom to the doofus's two kids and has given up her aspirations to be a kinesiologist, and that's totally the way to go. But when a man follows a woman's career, then he invariably must turn into a useless, pathetic, smelly ballast. Forget about supporting your female partner, or showering and shaving for that matter. Passive-aggressive petulance FTW!
* end of spoiler*
This movie reminded me of an encounter at a conference that I had gone to a little while before I graduated with a PhD. A senior professor from another university asked what I planned on doing when I graduate, I said I wanted to be a professor, and he told me I should not do that, that I should let my husband find work, and I should stay home and take care of the kids. If looks could kill, that man would have been struck by lightning and pulverized on the spot. I don't know what I said, it was to the effect that I didn't do a PhD do be a housewife, but I was very visibly pissed, so much that he hastily excused himself and left.
In the coming years, I encountered several people who basically told me "Your poor husband!" when I informed them I was taking a faculty position and that my husband would be joining me (his staff job placement was part of my offer). Sure, my poor, poor husband; it totally sucks to have a job in your field waiting for you at the place where your spouse also has one.
I think my husband is probably the person with the highest job satisfaction that I know. He looooves his job. He does a combination of lab work and teaching, the job is not a high-stress one, and he can quit at 5 pm, come home, and not think about it till the next work day. I cannot imagine he could find another job that he would love quite as much. Implying that we would both be happier if he had to be the sole bread-winner, working in a very fast-paced industry, while I were at home with the kids, is completely ludicrous; such an arrangement would have destroyed us both.
News flash: not every man wants to be a corporate drone, and not every woman wants to be a stay-at-home mom. There are many men who are perfectly happy as stay-at-home parents or in jobs that are less high-powered than those of their female partners. Implying that men are incapable of being supportive of their spouse's careers or the family in general without turning into a quivering, whiny pile of guilt-inducing crap is nothing but misandric patriarchal bullshit.

I'm actually moving to Ann Arbor (which is a totally lovely place!) in the fall to get my PhD in Astrophysics, and my boyfriend is coming with me. As such, this movie frustrated me in so many ways. It really sucked that them moving to accomodate her career had to be portrayed so miserably.

I love this post and I'm glad I never saw the movie. As a PhD student whose husband has already made the move to join her and whose husband WAY more enjoys domestic life and low-stress jobs than I do, I can totally relate.

Hmm, despite leaving a coastal city to follow me to a midwestern location my husband has not stopped showering or started knitting ugly sweaters or hunting deer. Nor have any of the other following husbands in my field (this is very common at least in my program) although they do do crazy things like enjoy their lives :-)

In my opinion, all academic life is, almost invariably, depicted very inaccurately in movies.
Is there any job or career path that isn't depicted inaccurately in movies?
It is particularly funny that a college town would be portrayed as inhospitable to a sophisticated chef. If anything, college towns have a lot of foodies.
Also, I wonder if CPP's wife's job brings in enough income to buy him some spell-check software.
I'll translate that into CPP-speak:

Let me take off my righteous pants and admit that I quite enjoyed the movie when I saw it (it's just that I got ticked off after the fact, thinking about it some more). I actually recommend that people go see it because (a) I am just one person on the internet, so what do I know and you should go and decide for yourselves, and (b) there were many really funny jokes; I laughed out loud in the movie theater.
Emily Blunt (Violet) and Jason Segel (Tom) are very relaxed around each other, they are a joy to watch (they must be really good friends in real life). The supporting cast is excellent and they are colorful, carry a significant weight in the movie, and are at the center of many really funny bits (e.g. Violet's fellow postdocs are hilarious.)
My favorite skit was Violet and her sister taking to each other like Cookie Monster and Elmo, respectively, to humor the sister's daughter, and the topic is relationships. They are pretty hilarious, and Elmo makes an insightful observation to Cookie Monster regarding choosing a partner: "There is no perfect cookie. Just pick one and take a bite!"
Overall, the whole movie feels like a typical Jason Segel character: it's a big, heartwarming movie, giving you a bear hug. You may be suffocating a little, but can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside. - June 30, 2012 at 10:08 PM
Great post! Both things you describe - assuming men must be the primary bread-winner or they'll never be ok and assuming that anywhere that isn't a city (and the right city) on the coast is a dump are infuriatingly common in movies and in broader life. I did grad school in Ann Arbor and have lived on both coasts - Ann Arbor is the nicest place I've lived and has some amazing food. The 'fly-over country' stuff makes me crazy. My husband has followed me for my career and it isn't always easy but we're doing ok.
- July 1, 2012 at 1:26 AM
I put this movie in my blind spot for two reasons.
First, the career aspect that you've covered so well. I'm moving for a t-t job in a month, and my partner is coming with me. We'll do the best we can to find my partner a job once we're there. I'm female, he's male. The trailer for this movie was enough to make me ignore it.
Second, on top of the career sexism, it piles on the whole Princess/Wedding thing. Because that's Every Girl's goal, right, the Wedding? And what a drag, she had to endure her Wedding being delayed for how long? Anyway, in my own life, we are happily, committed unmarrieds. High on my list of reasons not to get married is avoiding a Wedding. And guess what, I'm a whole functioning human being without being married! - July 2, 2012 at 12:49 PM

It is not beyond reason to believe that the human personality comes about largely by way of genetics. A gene that indicates extreme aggression and violent behavior has already been found. Many believe that they will find that homosexuals are born that way (genetic). Physical appearance is without a doubt genetic. Intelligence does run in families, and in all animals, intelligence can be bred for. So intelligence must also be genetic in the same way physical strength is.
So it might someday be practical to select the very best traits from your own genetic line. Fertilize say 1000 of your own eggs, then genetically test them all and keep only the ones with the most desirable traits. All your children would be physically strong, healthy, relatively intelligent to very intelligent. You could discard all of the embryos that have potentially violent, overly aggressive personalities, or who could overly passive and lazy. Transsexuals of course would be screened ou as just another defect. And homosexuals do not lead the best of lives on average, so we all know that most parents would screen out such future problems. Few parents want to think they will never have grand children.
Near perfect people, a better more peaceful world. Higher IQ's and far less in the way of medical or mental issues.
Can you say no to this future would? If so why would you stop science from improving the human race?
What are your thoughts?

here i am at midnight, and thinking about how lucky we are to have liam payne in our lives. i mean: he was born dead, lived with one kidney until the middle of 2012, was bullied badly, got rejected 22 times and got kicked off the x factor in 2008.. and here we are, in 2012 and look at him now. he's seriously so inspiring, and incredible, and sweet, and kind, and i wish there were more boys like him. we actually are really blessed to have liam with us you guys. i dunno bout you, but i find him inspiring out of all of them. not only did he never gave up on his dreams, he never gave up on life.
An Audio Reading (make sure it is on 10% / 100, it's just small background music.)
These past two days have been horrible. whats even worse was waiting, waiting for nothing to happen. it's cold sitting here in the isolated, uncomfortable room with lost souls filling the air.
the sounds of people coming and leaving this place made it even harder for me to move. all i could do was just sit there, run my fingers through my hair with fustration and wonder "why me? why us?" i was in shock, i couldn't even move my feet they were that numb. my throat was dry, and my eyes were sore. why do the worst things in life come free to us?
looking up from the floor, i see small children running down the hall, especially one particular child. running and laughing, care free from the world of bad luck and misery. she was racing her brother i assumed, and as he dashed in front of her, the poor girl had fallen to the ground. her brother kept soaring north, and the child looked around hopeless. I sighed.
"are you ok, darling?" i whispered to her. she gazed up at me and nodded. "i'm fine," she started, whispering back as well. "i think i might made a boo-boo though." not only did her words bring a small smile to my face, but so did her beautiful, little childish voice. "really? is that so?" she nodded again, and that was then i walked over to her and picked her up. "come here, you!"
i picked the lost child up and played with her, tickling her under her arms, hearing the sound of her angelic giggles. "where's your boo-boo gorgeous?" she just smiled and pointed to her elbow. "here!" i adjusted her to fit properly in my arms, and i then laid a precious, small and soft kiss on her elbow. "is the boo-boo gone?" i whispered to her again, realising the Doctor from across the hall was giving me an uneasy, considerable look. "it sure is, thank you!" the little girl had then reached up and pulled my hair. "your curls are soft, sir!" i then let out a small chuckle. "what? you think i'm old? i'm only 18 sweetheart!" i started to tickle her again, and then her mother entered the hallway, holding hands with her son.
"Lindsay! their you are love! Oh my goodness, i was so worried about you!" her mother started to pace over towards us and i gently placed Lindsay down. "It's alright, she's safe. she just had a small 'boo-boo'" i mocked, talking softly to her mother. "Oh, thank you for looking after her! it's just, one minute they were their, and the next, both of them were gone!" she exaggerated. "Kids… maybe one day when you have them you'll understand."
her sentence had then broke my heart possibly even more. i forced a small smile. "yeah.. one day.." i mumbled. i turned around and faced the floor, ready to wait for nothing again. "wait! can i have one more hug?" i spun around slowly to see Lindsay smiling at me with those sparkling, blue eyes of hers. i did all i could to not break down. "sure." she had then raced over, and i kneeled down, ready for her hug. once we started to hug, i made sure it was a tight one. a hug to make sure she felt safe and secure, a hug that she would always smile with, a hug that would bring her many joys in her life, as well as a kiss on her cheek. i was overreacting, and the child just blushed when we broke apart. "go" i whispered to her, another small smile across her face.
as lindsay ran back to her mother and brother, the rest of the boys had then walked in. "Harry.." Louis started. the boys didn't need to say anymore. I'm sure paul had already told the news to them. I sat back down in my seat, and the lads sat down around me. zayn and liam were by my side, patting my back and niall and louis were on the floor, trying to find ways of cheering me up. "so, harry.. if you're up for it, maybe we could go to nando's and-"
"not now, niall." liam had said sternly. even though my face was resting on my hands, that were resting on my lap, i could tell niall's facial expression was hurt. "no, it's okay liam" i answered back, just loud enough so they all could hear me. "how long has it been?" zayn had asked. tears were starting to form in my eyes. before i could say anything, the doctor came up to us. "harry, we would like to speak to you." he politely said. the boys and i gave each other looks, and off i went.
I entered the hospital room, and soon enough the boys were right behind me. when walking in, the first thing that grabbed my attention was my beautiful girlfriend. just lying in the hospital bed finally awake and smiling that small, beautiful smiles of hers, eyeing me as i sat down next to her. i grabbed her hand and kissed it, looking at her carefully and warm, the look i would give her to know that things would work out, and that it would be okay.
the boys stayed at the back of the room, eyeing the three of us with curiosity and hope. the doctor had then began to talk. "i'm sorry.. but, it's bad news. much worse." he paused so he could let us take a quick moment to prepare for this awful news. "it's your baby," he said as he looked at me, and then to my concerned girlfriend. "it seem's as if the child inside of you gave up." he didn't have to say anymore. we understood what he clearly meant. niall and liam started sniffling a bit, and louis and zayn from the corner of my eye started to hug, all of them trying to not make such loud noises. "it didn't want to, but it did.. i'm sorry to inform the both of you, that you've had a miscarraige."
it didn't matter, all of us couldn't hold it in anymore. the boys started make crying noises that echoed through the room, and she then started to cry quietly, trying to hold back those tears of hers, as much as she could. "but don't beat yourself about it to much you two, you're only 18 after all. these things sadly do happen, but it's life. you just have to keep trying." he continued on, trying to make the news lighter than it was. but it wasn't. our world just fell apart. "i'll let you all be alone for a few minutes." the doctor had then got up and left.
as he closed the door, my lady had then started crying loudly. clenching her fist together onto the bed, repeating to herself the same thing. "why me? why us?" i leaned over and kissed her forehead, and wiped away some of her tears. "thats life, darling. we did all we could." a tear had then streamed down my face, and then i couldn't hold it in anymore. "excuse me." i say to everyone as i rushed out of the room.
just like the two children before, i ran down the hall and was about to exit the place. i stopped though, i couldn't leave them all. i was so angry and upset and confused about everything. i took out all of my feelings at a bin, kicking and throwing it around the place. swearing for the whole world to hear. "FUCK THIS, FUCK THAT, FUCK EVERYTHING!" Doctors and nurses raced out of their areas, and grabbed hold of me. "sir, you need to calm down-"
"FUCK OFF, I JUST LOST MY CHILD!" I raged, pushing everyone off me. 'IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A GIRL. DARCY, BEAUTIFUL, LITTLE DARCY! SHE WOULD HAVE MY HAIR AND HER MOTHERS EYES. BUT NO, SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY! JUST 4 MONTHS BEFORE SHE WAS BROUGHT INTO THIS WORLD!!" all of them had backed up, and they didn't know what to say. they stared at me apologetically, their eyes were filled with empathy. "It's not fair!" I say as i started to break down. I eyed them all one last time and turned around, seeing her there. Her eyes filled with surrow and pain, not from the loss of Darcy, but my pain she was seeing. she raised her arms out.
"come here" she mumbled through her tears. I paced towards her and held onto her tightly, never wanting to let her go. "i love you" i whispered to her. "i love you, i love you, i love you" all over again. i kissed her on her cheeks, her foreheard, her nose, her lips and then stared into her beautiful eyes. i carefully touched her stomach and kissed that as well. the boys had then caught up to us.
"you'll never just be a small bump to us, darling."

May create 'false sense of protection'
WSU researcher says FDA ban on bisphenol A "not enough"
Wednesday, July 18, 2012
By Darin Watkins, WSU News
PULLMAN, WA – The Food and Drug Administration this week announced that baby bottles and children's drinking cups can no longer contain bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogen-mimicking chemical used in some plastic bottles and food packaging. The move mirrors actions taken by several states, including Washington, to ban the chemical from children's food containers and drinking cups.
But Patricia Hunt, a geneticist in Washington State University's School of Molecular Biosciences, said today the ban doesn't really accomplish much, since most of the industry has already voluntarily moved away from BPA. Instead, she fears the ban may give consumers a false sense of protection because it doesn't apply to a number of similar chemicals, including a related chemical called BPA-F, that may be just as harmful.
"BPA free doesn't necessarily mean safe, and that's kinda scary," said Hunt. "When we go for that BPA free bottle we're not always going to get something that's completely free of this chemical because the manufacturers can tweak this molecule a little bit, so it's a similar molecule but it can have just as bad of affect in the body."
Hunt helped raise concerns about the plasticizer bisphenol A when her research uncovered genetic abnormalities in mice that had been accidentally exposed to the chemical. In 1998, Hunt discovered an accidental release of the chemical into the water bottles of mice caused abnormalities in their eggs.
Hunt believes there is good evidence that even low dose exposure to BPA can cause significant changes in the developing fetus. Adding there is good evidence that the changes can lead to behavioral changes, decreased fertility and an increase in diseases like breast and prostate cancer. Hunt also believes BPA is the first of a series of similar chemicals needing stricter controls.
"BPA is like the poster child for this class of chemicals that are endocrine disruptors that can interfere with our body's hormones," said Hunt. "It is particularly harmful to the unborn and the newborn."
Hunt works in Washington State's School of Molecular Biosciences and is working on a series of publications relative to BPA that are expected to be released in the next few months.

PC productivity tools for embedded programmers
As embedded programmers, we all write firmware. Small projects are not so hard to manage. But as projects get bigger and with more than just one programmer involved, it's time to look around for tools to help keep the team's productivity high.
To write this blog, I simply dig into my computer and pick out the tools I use often. Here they are, in random order…
Comparing files, well, the worst way to do is to open up two source files and compare them by eyeballing. Comparing files is often needed when working with other people, you want to see what others have changed. Even by yourself, you may want to compare the file you are using today against the file from 5 days ago. Something was working, now it's not, what's changed? I personally use Beyond Compare from, http://www.scootersoftware.com. This is not free, but very affordable. It can compare files, folders, you name it. It shows result in a very intuitive manner, can't live without it. Alternatively, you could use WinMerge, http://winmerge.org. WinMerge is free. Check them out.
Next is version control. At work, the team I'm with uses SVN, http://subversion.tigris.org, and TortoiseSVN, http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org. Both are free. First is the server side software, the heart and soul of the version control system. Second is the client side GUI interface. Nothing too fancy, they just work. Also make sure to backup the SVN repository regularly. Other choices are also available, such as CVS, etc. You can also set TortoiseSVN to use any file comparison tools, in my case, I set it to use Beyond Compare.
Another neat tool we started to use recently is the UniversalIndentGUI, http://universalindent.sourceforge.net. This tool helps in formatting codes, by processing them per the formatting rules given. If you need to publish your code, whether publicly or just to your customers, this tool helps make everything looks consistent as though the codes were written by just one programmer. UniversalIndentGUI doesn't solve all the consistency issues, like variable and function names. For that, your team need to have a coding style policy to follow in the first place. But for indentation, parenthesis, and other formatting related items, this tool takes the meaning of the word quality to another level.
Moving on to text editor. In all likelihood, your computer has the Notepad program that comes with Microsoft Windows, and you also have an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) installed. Your source code files are probably associated with the IDE. But there will be times when you just want to browse folders, and all you want to do is to quickly inspect a source file, both Notepad and IDE may not be a good solution. Notepad doesn't highlight syntax, and IDE doesn't load quickly. In this case, I use another text editor that can highlight syntax, better than Notepad, but also light-weight when compared to an IDE. The program I use is Notepad++, free and can be found at, http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net. Many other options are also available, such as EditPlus, TextPad, etc.
Talking about editor, another good tool to have is a hex file viewer/editor. I use XVI32, http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm. Not everything you work with is in a text readable form, so something like the XVI32 is a must have.
Another good tool is TreeSize Free, http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml. This tool helps you analyze the disk size allocation of files and folders. I typically use this tool to scan code repository before each public code release. It helps me to understand the file organization from the size perspective. I also tend to use it to look out for any unexpected files that may get introduced to the SVN repository unintentionally. This is helpful when the code distribution is large, and you want to keep the installer package size within a reasonable level.
When it comes to documenting APIs, there was a time when we documented our function APIs by writing them out again manually in a separate document, be it a Microsoft Word or Acrobat PDF. This was an insane way of doing things. Mistakes can happen left and right. Synchronization between the actual code and help file was also very hard to keep up with. When an actual function API changed, we would have to remember to update the documentation too. Typographical errors were also very common, which made the document harder to understand for the end readers. The whole process of tracking and editing was also very time consuming. Fortunately, those were the old days. Now we use Doc-O-Matic, http://www.doc-o-matic.com. The tool scans source codes for comments and function headers and use them to outputs documentation help file in various formats automatically. Doc-O-Matic is not free, but a great investment that helps save countless hours of manual work, which makes it a cheaper choice in the long run. A free alternative is Doxygen, http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen. If you are not using a help authoring tool, you should start, today.
Lastly for packaging an installer, we use Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS), http://nsis.sourceforge.net, which is free. For a programmer, learning how to use NSIS should be easy, as you will be writing a script. Many functions and templates are provided. We use the Modern UI template. You will see this template once you have installed NSIS. I'd highly recommend this template and I believe most NSIS users use this template also. To learn the in and out of the Modern UI template, start by reading here: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Modern%20UI/Readme.html.
The list above shows just some of the tools we have used within our work environment, some maybe applicable to you, some may not. At some points in the past, we never used to use them either, but we observed where we could improve our productivity and efficiency, and started introducing these tools into our work culture. You could do the same. If the tool doesn't exist, consider in building one.

Peep our promo for "Crispy Apparel X Jtu X Koi aesthetics"
Honestly, it sucks. If I saw nothing about your comment on the video, I would not have know that it was a promo for your brand, much less a promo for a collab at that. In fact all it seems to be to me is a montage comprised of bad filming, bad skating, and bad editing (not at all saying I could do better so don't try to come at me from that perspective). Overall it just seems pointless, uninteresting and poorly executed.
Sorry in advance for the harsh words.

What is FIL?
The Forum for Interlending and Information Delivery (FIL) is an organisation for interlending and document supply personnel. It is run by a committee of elected members who are themselves involved in inter-library lending (ILL) and document supply.
FIL was set up to enable library and information workers in this area to exchange ideas and views and also to raise the profile of this area of work nationally and internationally.
FIL liaises with national bodies such as the British Library, IFLA and CONARLS and raises areas of concern to ILL and document supply staff at national level. Membership of FIL is open to anyone involved in ILL & document supply. You can either join as a personal or institutional member.

The intercom at D-FW Airport blared, �Flight 599, Flight 599, this is the final boarding announcement for Flight 599 departing for Orlando.� Elise pushed her swollen feet back into her new black pumps, recently removed to help her make it unscathed through the new and improved homeland security restraints. She grabbed her carry on bag, minus the confiscated pointy tweezers, and ran to make her flight.
Bumping and scooting her way through the warm, stale-smelling cabin to her cramped seat by the window she settled herself. �Whew! I made it, thank God, I made it.� There was not much Elise could do now, seeing as she was sequestered for the two-hour and thirty-minute flight. Sequestered, that sounded kind of good, no emails, no phones, no laundry, and no guilt? Wrong, the ghost of guilt buckled up right next to her.
Mommy guilt; it goes with you.
The Guilt Trip The infamous guilt trip; are you packed? Of course you are, along with all the baggage. Guilt baggage comes standard in motherhood, with a wide assortment of shades and sizes. Balancing work + marriage + financial needs + family + church + extracurricular activities = guilt. Add your own variables to fit your personal equation. Ultimately life�s demands take their overwhelming toll on our very existence, leaving us burdened with a load of guilt.
What is the toll guilt takes on our lives? Author Harriet Lerner explains in her book, The Mother Dance, �Guilt keeps mothers narrowly focused on the question, �What�s wrong with me?� and prevents us from becoming effective agents of personal and social change.� Needless to say, we could all fly a little higher if we weren�t weighed down by the heaviness of guilt. Guilt is a great waste of emotional energy. It causes us to become immobilized in the present because we are dwelling on the past. Guilt can be very debilitating. It often brings productive thoughts and actions to a standstill. Introducing logic helps counter-balance guilt and helps us stay on course. A key point about guilt is that it is a condition and not a feeling. 3-D Guilt Busters Discover, decide and determine. Discover the source of guilt, determine if the guilt is valid, and decide to respond instead of react.
Susan Buss, Contracting Director for Cigna HealthCare and mother of three young children offers this advice, �If I'm feeling guilty, it's probably because I feel like my "balance" (of family/work) has gone out of balance, so I think about what I can do to rectify that. If nothing immediately, (i.e. during November/December I worked a lot and feel like I cheated my kids) then I think about when my next opportunities to spend time with my kids would be, and I promise myself that I will push aside the busy work (groceries, cooking, etc.) and spend time with them just soaking up the moments. (So what if we eat grilled cheese that night? we'll survive.) I think a mistake many women do (I definitely do this) is not stopping to "soak up the moments" with my kids when I have them - I'm usually doing 5 things at once and I feel even more cheated then I do when I'm working sometimes!�
Here are some ways you can �soak up the moments� with your child:

Inspiring and modern, this cuff bracelet is crafted in sterling silver with an open design of connected waves.
Bracelet Information
Stock number: | 21664 |
Sterling Silver |
Width: | 1 3/8 inches |
Approximate weight: | 11 grams |
Yes |
Perfect gift for my turning 20-years old niece. Stylish and hip while having a lasting appeal as well. She was thrilled when she opened it and will no doubt enjoy it for years to come.
Very nice bracelet, for a formal or casual evening.
It is not as solid as I would have liked and a bit big. The silver is rather thin. Not my best purchase
happy ith purchase, coupon, & site
It was a lovely bracelet, but too large for a woman with small wrists (mine are 6 1/2 inches). I closed it so the ends touched, and it still slid like a bangle. A cuff should hug the arm. With no size selection, I didn't know this till it arrived.
My brother and I purchased this bracelet for our mother and she was absolutely over the moon! She called me before she opened it and as soon as she did there was a squeal of delight on the other end. The bracelet is a modern design with a classic element, it is very substantial and shapes easily to fit your wrist. All in all it was a success!

Reminiscent of The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, and The Kinks all at once, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals have a sound that won't fit neatly in one genre, but that has a beat, a physicality, and a mood. Potter says, "You have to either want to dance to it or cry to it. But there's also a feistiness to these songs that's completely unapologetic." Over seven years and three albums, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals have grown from an uncommonly bright band into a force of nature. The band is anticipating their fourth studio album, The Lion The Beast The Beat, in 2012.

Outage Probability of OSTBC: Optimal transmit strategy and suboptimality of odd number of transmit antennas
Orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC) are an efficient mean in order to exploit the diversity offered by the wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel. It was shown that the Alamouti scheme, an OSTBC for nT = 2 transmit antennas, achieves the capacity of such MIMO channels with nR = 1 receive antenna. However, by increasing the number of transmit antennas, the transmission rate of the OSTBC is monotonically decreasing. Recently, this rate reduction was characterized completely. Using a recent result on the properties of Gaussian quadratic forms, we show two key results: Assume the transmitter has not channel state information. We show that for given rate and SNR it is optimal to use a subset of all available antennas with equal power allocation. Further on, we show that an OSTBC for an odd number of transmit antennas is always outperformed by an OSTBC for either the next lower or the next higher even number of transmit antennas. Finally, the impact of spatial correlation with uninformed transmitter is characterized. We illustrate the theoretical results by numerical simulations. The theoretical and simulation results show the suboptimality of the OSTBC for an odd number of antennas with respect to the outage probability minimization.

Passage of Budget Package by Constitutional Deadline is met by Both Houses
SACRAMENTO – The California State Assembly today passed a comprehensive budget package, meeting the constitutional deadline of June 15th for a balanced on-time budget.
"Today's action by the Legislature balances the budget and puts California on track to have a balanced budget every year for the next few years, ultimately resulting in a two billion dollar reserve in the 2015/16 fiscal year," said Speaker John A. Pérez. "Putting our fiscal house in order is necessary if we are to engage in the planning and long-term investments in areas like infrastructure, education and 21st century job creation, and even though this budget contains many difficult decisions, it puts us on a pathway to begin reinvesting in opportunities for Californians."
Speaker Pérez noted this budget protects and invests in public education this year and in the future, with a $17 billion increase in Proposition 98 funding over four years.
In addition to protecting schools, the package provides a sensible plan that not only closes the deficit for this year, it erases $20 billion in structural deficit California was facing 18 months ago, and provides a reserve of roughly $2 billion by fiscal year 2015/2016.

Getting Real
Hover over image to zoom
Unless your parents were truly enlightened, you were born as clay, moulded into an image they had of you. Are you confused about who you are... you should be? Most people really don't know very much about themselves because the programming is so complete. In trust, we believed just about everything we were told. Find out how the ones who loved you the most, took away your true identity.
How did you become who your are? Was it an accident of birth? Did aliens drop you off here by chance, a wrong delivery? The world was never meant for one as pure as you. Your parents, siblings, friends, community all molded you into a symbol of how you were supposed to be. They didn't realize that you were born with a specific purpose in mind. The transition from knowing to not knowing back to knowing can take many lifetimes. If you're feeling empty somewhere inside it is your intuition telling you that your destiny still awaits you. Discover your destiny and claim your rightful inheritance. To know where you are going you must know where you have been. Create your starting point and I will help you.
The is real life, real drama, a real conspiracy, and you are part of it!

7. | Scrumping | ||
an alternative term for the act of jelqing, a Middle Eastern penis enlargement technique. Though originating in the Middle East, scrumping has become extremely popular amongst males throughout the world. The method is intended to enlarge the penis by exercising the smooth muscle and other tissues in the penis, with the goal of permanently increasing the maximum erect size of the penis. Scrumping is alternatively referred to as "penis milking", "dong stroking", and "rod rubbing". Man 1 at urinal: "Jesus Christ man what'd you do to your dong?! It looks like you're smuggling a python!"
Man 2 at urinal: "Sup. It's pretty big, huh? It used to be a tuna can, exact dimensions. But after months of dedicated scrumping, I've managed to produce this piece of penile perfection. |
1. | scrumping | ||
Stealing fruit, especially apples, from someone else's trees. British. It's considered less bad than, say, shoplifting, but adults still disapprove.
2. | Scrumping | ||
The act of stealing apples from a cider orchard. (The word comes from Scrumpy cider) This term cannot be applied to a town or city enviroment. For example you couldn't steal a stereo and call it 'urban scrumping' Giles was caught scrumping from Mr. Johnsons farm on Tuesday
3. | Scrumping | ||
the act of stealing apples, nothing more. Either stealing froma tree, orchard or store. The one who scrumps is called the scrump or scrumper. When Glen asked about the apples, Phil said that he went scrumping at Todd's house.
4. | scrumping | ||
The art of getting from A to B purely by means of running through people's property, turning over as much lawn furniture and stealing as many pegs as possible along the way. Est. 2009 in NZ. I was almost caught scrumping by Mrs Atkinson.
5. | scrumping | ||
To scrump. The act of sexual intercourse without romantic implications often in an awkward, uncomfortable setting. Bill's back is sore from scrumping Sue in the port-a-john behind the drive-in last night.
6. | scrumping | ||
Stealing apples. Not to be confused with oggy raidingwhich is actually a form of anal intrusion with fruit, mostly enjoyed by peope chained to radiators. I went scrumping in Paddy's field yesterday. Ah it was a hell of a craic. Ho ho ho. Mad as a box of frogs me!

Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottCyclist killed in Cottesloe hit-run
Lucy Rickard March 9, 2012 - 6:42AM A cyclist has died after he was allegedly struck by a car in Cottesloe overnight. It will be alleged the man struck the cyclist near the intersection of Curtin Avenue and Marine Terrace in Cottesloe. http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/cycli ... 1uo48.html The cyclist was conveyed to Fremantle Hospital with critical injuries, but he later died. Police allegedly located a Toyota Corolla abandoned nearby. Police later located a 28-year-old Watermans man, and he was questioned at Mirrabooka police station before being charged over the death. The 28-year-old has been charged with aggravated dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop, failing to render assistance and driving under the influence. He is due to appear in court on April 6. Police have closed Curtin Avenue in Cottesloe between Marine Parade and Leighton Beach Boulevard this morning as investigations continue.

Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottWhat a crap piece of news to hear about so early in the morning! Especially after all the discussions etc that have been going on recently around the subject of cyclist safety! Condolences to the family RIP....

A lot of charges there. Amateur oenologist and green-friendly commuter.
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottAt least it sounds like they're going to throw the book at the driver this time, if they caught him DUI then they'll probably have a good case to make the charges stick whatever the other evidence they have is.
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in Cott
Thanks. Andrew
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottVery sad.
Everyone might note well the need to understand exactly how much alcohol they consume when intending to drive. I once asked bartenders and waiters/resses over several months, how many standard drinks were in the drinks they were serving me. I was stunned that around 5 out of 50 could give me a reasonably accurate response. And amongst friends and acquaintances, it was an even smaller percentage. The shortcut to calculate no. std drinks of any volume of any beverage is = litres drunk * % alcoholic content (as whole number) * 0.8 ex. 750 ml bottle of 13% cab sav = 0.750 * 13 * 0.8 = 7.8 so for a male who drinks one bottle, you'll be DUI if you drive within 7 hours of your first glass.
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in Cott
Even a calculation like that is approximate as it depends on how you physically metabolise the alcohol and can depend on the composition of your body, how often you normally drink etc. Personally if I'm going to drive I'd never have more than 2 beers and then I'd not drive within an hour of drinking the last one, it's just not worth it for myself and everyone else on the road to be marginal.
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in Cott
for a variety of reasons, health and image for my kids mainly, I just stopped drinking alcohol. I find it very easy to calculate my BAC as a result. I cannot fathom why people see a need to drink and then drive a vehicle. pick one, not both. condolences to the family, hope this person has the book thrown at him. Life is not about waiting for the rain to pass.....it's about learning to dance (or ride) in the rain.

Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottSad news, condolences to his family and friends.
This quote from The West seems to indicate that there might have been some prior aggravation.
Edit: The printed article states that the argument was between the offender and the driver of another car. I should know better than to rely on any story in the West on-line. Last edited by blkmcs on Fri Mar 09, 2012 1:25 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in Cott
I have given it away a few times over the last few years, and am also looking at dropping it permanently. It is money p!$$ed against the wall, empty Calories, a toxin, and time thief. And for me, 1-2 drinks often increases the urge for another few - the proverbial slippery slope. Often my desire for alcohol is satiated by cordial or water and a good square meal.
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in Cott
I don't ride there everyday, but will quite often will ride along Curtin Ave and then into North Fremantle or turn around at the roundabout and go home either along Curtin Ave or Marine Terrace. I always thought it was a good road to ride because of the wide shoulders. Very sad news indeed. Condolences to his family... i love my bike(s)
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in Cott
Andrew, the calculation itself is quite accurate for calculating number of standard drinks. For absolute accuracy, replace 0.8 with 0.789, the specific gravity of alcohol. I presume you mean the number of std drinks one can drink over time to stay under 0.05; and agree this is variable based on body weight and the liver's trained capacity to metabolize alcohol. However, I don't know any drinkers who know how many std drinks they can have per hour to stay under 0.05.
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottMade me feel sick when I heard this on the news this morning. Not a regular route for me but have ridden it many times none the less. Make sure I will give the kids and extra kiss before bed tonight.
Feel for his family.
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottI hate that piece of road. I feel sorry for the family of the cyclist.
The proposal to have a PSP to Fremantle was part of the 1996 bike plans.... and there is plenty of space on that verge, nothing stopping it being built (except political will). Things get a bit trickier closer to Fremantle. Seperate infrastructure on a busy stretch like Curtin Avenue is the correct, and urgent, solution for safe cycling. The one meter passing distance is relevant for "normal" streets where it is impractical, too costly or insufficent cycling volumes to have seperate infrastructure. Visit the Bicycle Transportation Alliance at
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottBest wishes to family and friends - sickening news indeed.
Each car that you hear approaching from behind you may have a driver under the influence of a banned or controlled substance. No 1 metre passing law or punishment will stop this from happening, humans are prone to making terrible decisions. Everyone stay safe and let us hope we are all around to moan about near misses for a long time to come. Safe riding, JM
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottWide shoulders that are regularly driven on - there are no rumble strips or kerbs keeping the cars out of the bike lane and the shared path (which is definitely low speed) is currently closed due to construction works. Now is the time to write to the paper, the minster for transport or your local member demanding one or more of the below * absolute liability for motorists * manslaughter charges for motorists who kill * a required meter of space when passing cyclists * the ability to ride on paths for the over twelves (sub 15kph) * completion of the PSP from Perth to Freo * crack down on cars in cycle lanes, plus advertising on media (drifting drivers are dangerous) * rumble strips on left turns on cycle lanes Frankly, the cycle lane at Montesorri school needs concrete kerbs separating the cars from the cycle lane - I either drive or ride along there every day and it's a worry Stop handing them the stick! - Dave Moulton
Re: Sad day - Cyclist killed overnight in CottIm surprised, and a little disappointed there's not been anything from the myriad of peak bodies representing cyclists from this considering the flogging we've been taking in the media lately.
Its a perfect opportunity road push the 1m rule and more infrastructure. Not that it isn't terrible what has happened but at least this way some good might come of it. 2011 Bianchi Via Nirone Veloce
