Mile-High Headlines for Friday, November 7 Sign up here [2] to receive Panorama every weekday morning--before it's published on our website. Another Milestone Democrat Terrance Carroll, who grew up in some of the harshest areas of Washington, D.C., never thought he would live to see America elect a black president. His mother, who grew up on the same plantation that his family worked on as slaves, would be "overwhelmed with emotion," the 39-year-old tells 9News [3]. And she'd certainly be proud of her son, who yesterday was selected by fellow Democrats as the first black speaker of Colorado's House of Representatives, according to The Denver Post [4], which writes that Carroll aims to be a "beacon to the entire state." Carroll's name entered the mix when Bernie Buescher, the Grand Junction Democrat expected to get the job, lost his election to a Republican. Carroll, of Denver, is an attorney with Greenberg Traurig LLC and an ordained Baptist minister, according to the Denver Business Journal [5]. In January, he will replace Denver Democrat Andrew Romanoff, who leaves because of term limits. This month, Governing Magazine [6] named Romanoff one of the nation's top public officials. Meanwhile, KUNC radio [7] notes that two black men now lead the state's legislative branch; Peter Groff was named Colorado's first black Senate president last year. Salazar: On the List for Interior Secretary Governor Bill Ritter might not be on any of Barack Obama's short lists, but U.S. Senator Ken Salazar is. The Democrat is mentioned alongside former Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber and former Alaska Governor Tony Knowles as a possible candidate for secretary of the interior, according to The Associated Press [8], a job once held by former Colorado attorney general Gale Norton, a Republican. If he gets the job, Salazar, who has also served as the state's attorney general, would oversee everything from the National Park Service to the sandal-ridden Minerals Management Service. Ritter praised Salazar's qualifications to CBS4 News [9], which notes that former Denver Mayor Federico Peña, who served as secretary of transportation and then secretary of energy under President Bill Clinton, is an adviser to the Obama cabinet search. Salazar was dismissive about the possibility, saying it's "highly doubtful" that he'd serve and that he likes his current job, according to The Colorado Independent [10]. In August, 5280 executive editor Maximillian Potter profiled Salazar [11] for the magazine. The former state attorney general also topped our list of Colorado's most politically influential Latinos [12] that month, followed closely by Peña, who was honored [13] by the national Latino Leaders Network during the Democratic National Convention.
Affirmative on Affirmative Action Finally, two days after Election Day, the Rocky Mountain News [14] called the results for Amendment 46, the measure that seeks to eliminate race and gender preferences in state programs. The amendment, backed by California millionaire Ward Connerly, failed by a slim margin, according to the newspaper. Meanwhile, it passed handily in Nebraska, joining three blue states--California, Washington, and Michigan--that have eliminated such preferences in recent years. Although liberals tend to back such programs, affirmative action is a complicated modern issue made even more complicated now that America has elected its first black president, writes Richard D. Kahlenberg, author of "The Remedy: Class, Race, and Affirmative Action," in The Atlantic [15]. Of America's pursuit of equality, he notes that Tuesday's election of Barack Obama was a "stunning triumph for the early 1960s notion of colorblindness: don't discriminate against people of color--or in favor of them." Spies Among the Protesters During the August 25 clash with Democratic National Convention protesters in Denver, a Jefferson County deputy used pepper spray against Denver police officers. There was no way the deputy could have known they were officers--they were undercover detectives spying amid activists, likely trying to learn more about their plans. That's according to a police report obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado (via The Denver Post [16]). The documents say the detectives were sprayed as they attempted to stage a struggle with a commander, in an attempt to get out of the crowd during an incident at 15th Street and Court Place that eventually led to 106 arrests. The ACLU now wants an investigation of the incident, concerned that the detectives' confusing stunt may have somehow enraged police during an already "tense situation." Meanwhile, the Rocky Mountain News [17] reports that police did not view impartial legal observers as exempt from arrest during the incident, according to officers' testimony in a Denver County Court trial this week. Immigration Arrests Rise Denver's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office increased its arrests by seven percent for the 2008 fiscal year. More than 6,000 immigrants were returned to their native countries--about 60 percent of them with prior criminal convictions, according to The Denver Post [18]. Nationally, immigration officials sent more than 349,000 immigrants home, a 20 percent increase compared to the 2007 fiscal year. This Westword blog [19] notes that the numbers were released just after the election: The feds "stepped forward with a new report that attempts to deflect criticism from those who believe the department isn't doing nearly enough to capture and deport people in this country illegally..." Adams County Sheriff Doug Darr says deputies and other law-enforcement officers are "under the gun" to pursue those who are in the country illegally, according to the Rocky Mountain News [20]. Broncos Pull It Off The Denver Broncos had to fight like crazy, but they bagged a win against the Cleveland Browns last night, a game that left them "battered, bruised, wobbly and wounded," according to The Denver Post [21]. Quarterback Jay Cutler rallied the team in the 34-30 victory, which lifted both the Broncos' spirit and its record. The team is now 5-4. In the fourth quarter, Cutler threw three touchdown passes, including a 93-yarder to receiver Eddie Royal and a short game-clincher to Brandon Marshall with just 1:14 left on the clock. McDyess: Forget Denver Antonio McDyess, acquired along with Chauncey Billups in the Denver Nuggets' trade of Allen Iverson to Detroit, isn't very excited about joining the team. In fact, the forward's agent, Andy Miller, told The Denver Post [22] yesterday that McDyess' chances of playing for the team are "very, very low to zero." McDyess has played for the Nuggets twice before--1995-97 and 2000-02--and Denver wants to put him on the court. But reports say he doesn't much care for the Nuggets organization, and Miller, who is negotiating a buyout of McDyess' contract, adds that the window to keep McDyess is "closing quickly" and that McDyess wants to chose his own destination. Videodose: President George W. Bush's Scottish terrier, Barney [23], attacks the "liberal media"--really. Barney nips at Reuters reporter Jon Deckers at the White House, breaking the skin on his index finger. Here's the edge-of-your-seat slo-mo [24] version (and, yes, the White House provided first aid). And here's the real-time take [25]. Cheapest Gallon of Gas 'Round Here: $1.84, Conoco, 2000 Youngfield St. (via www.gasbuddy.com [26]). E-mail relevant articles to email@example.com. [27]

Merry Christmas!
For those of you who celebrate the holiday, Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brings you lots of gardening goodies!
We've had a flurry of last minute gift making this week, and my son has one left to make later today. It's very nice to have a freezer full of produce and a bunch of dried herbs available any time inspiration strikes.
Mostly, we'll be spending the holiday with family and enjoying it thoroughly!
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Here's the situation: you need to hire a new developer. You've put up a job posting, you've got ton of CVs, and even after you discard the ones obviously not suited to the job, you still have a lot more potential candidates than you'd like to interview in person.
One way to trim this even further is to give them a task and see how well they execute it. Unfortunately, this only tests the programming abilities of the candidate. While important, these are not the only skills they need to have. Also, the assignment can easily be gamed – the candidate can ask (or even pay) someone to solve it for them.
The "patches welcome" test
Open source contributors usually start by making a small tweak or fix in the existing project code, not by developing all new codebase. Similarly, new hires usually first work on the existing code, before being put in charge of a new component of the system.
Can we apply the same principle to candidate assignments? I think we can.
We can make up a standalone project that uses the same languages or framework that the new hire will use – something that can be done in a day. We actually implement it, but leave it full of errors (syntax, logic, or valid but obviously poorly performant code).
The setup
Instead of writing corret code and inventing errors, it's better to just write the whole thing in one go, never bothering to check and fix any syntax or logic errors (in fact, it's best if you disable syntax highlighting and other code validation checks that your editor might have).
We put the project on a code hosting site and give the candidates no further instructions than "this needs fixing, documenting and unit tests – patches welcome." We leave the code wide open, so candidates don't think we're abusing the test to have the "real" work done.
Then, we wait, see what they come up with.
This tests a lot:
- whether the candidate can use git (or hg or your preferred vcs) or, failing that, that they can (and do) learn the very basics
- whether they can read and understand others' code and modify/refactor it without making it into a pasta
- that the candidate can actually program and fix the code in question
- that they know the frameworks or libraries you need them to know
- whether they can follow the code/style conventions
- that they write unit tests (if applicable to the assignment)
- whether they've identified valid but poorly performant parts of the code
- can they write documentation
- whether they split their work in smaller chunks (commits/patches) or give one big code dump at the end
Conveniently, it also serves as a quick intro for your coding practices for the candidate you do end up hiring.
While this does take a bit more involvement up front (lose a day to write the test), I believe this is far more accurate test across various skills needed for a good developer, than just a simple fizzbuzz.

Town Square
For the Greater Good or The Last Election The San Francisco Mime Troupe Comes to Mitchell Park, Palo Alto
Original post made by Carol Brouillet on Aug 24, 2012
Palo Alto, Mitchell Park is fortunate to be hosting the Mime Troupe's latest production: 'For the Greater Good' or 'The Last Election' on Tuesday, August 29th, 2012 , music begins at 6:30 pm, the show starts at 7:00 pm.
This year's show exposes the minority viewpoint of the Occupy Movement, that of the much maligned one percent, based on the 19th century melodrama 'The Poor of New York.' Ed Holmes, who bears a striking resemblance to Dick Cheney, plays the role of capitalist banker Gideon Bloodgood. Like the stock market, fortunes rise and crash, the plot twists and turns. Great music, humor, timing and over the top characters will perhaps change people's perspective on the Occupy Movement and the American political process. If you haven't been watching television non-stop for years, the play might give new insights into the American people from the point of view of those who own the media.
I must admit, as a candidate who ran for office on an "Occupy Congress" platform, who baked cookies for Occupy Chicago, Occupy Oakland, Occupy San Francisco, Occupy San Jose who was arrested and hauled to jail the Saturday before the primary, I can appreciate how art imitates life and life imitates art when it comes to politics, social movements, and family relationships. I loved the show. The actors and actresses age, die, are killed, change wigs, change sexes to play more than one role in the show, as we wear different hats and change roles in our own lives.
The performers also invite audience participation and support, including lending a hand to dismantle the stage and load it after the show into the SF Mime Troupe truck. My advice to those who have never seen one of their shows before - "Go see it! Bring a folding chair! Dress warmly and bring a blanket, just in case, some extra cash to donate to the troupe, and if you have curiosity, strength, energy, don't be shy about pitching in and lending a hand; it is worthwhile and fun!"

* A hearing on policies involving Native American students in North Kitsap schools has helped revive communication between the S'Klallam tribe and district administrators.
By Sandra Watson
Special to The Sun
In just two days this week, a federal hearing officer seems to have made major strides at achieving what the North Kitsap School District and Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe have been struggling to do for the past two years.
Although the outcome won't be known for at least three months, a hearing called by U.S. Department of Education officials in Suquamish on Wednesday and Thursday already has helped revive strained lines of communication between the district and the tribe.
The hearing was on a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education by the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe in March. The complaint questioned whether the district has met its legal commitment to involve the tribes and parents of Native American students in the development of its general education programs.
The tribe and the district have tried to improve the situation for the past three years. But the 11-hour hearing may have uncovered the root of their problems: poor communication and confusion over the district's relevant policies and procedures.
Richard F. O'Hair, an administrative law judge who will file a report on the hearing, said he thought it went very well.
"I think the hearing has been useful to all of us, especially to the tribe and the school district," O'Hair said. "It's provided an opportunity to express concerns, issues, goals, complaints and feelings, and I hope the two parties continue to work together."
North Kitsap Superintendent Robert Ellsperman, the last of 11 witnesses to testify at the hearing, expressed the district's desire to improve its relationship with the tribe.
"Our intent is to meet your requirements — that's to enhance the quality and quantity of communication with the tribe — and we are striving to do that," Ellsperman said. "One thing I think we've demonstrated is a willingness to change our procedures."
No changes will be made for at least 90 days, however.
O'Hair's report will go to the assistant secretary for elementary and secondary education sometime in July, after both attorneys in the case have a chance to present formal briefs. The assistant secretary will then have 30 days to make a ruling.
Clifford Foster, the school district attorney, agreed with O'Hair that the hearing was productive.
"We want to work with the tribe and our willingness to try to change [procedures] and continue dialogue is sincere," he said
The tribe's attorney, Russ Busch, also said the hearing went well.
"There was a lot of give and take," he said. "I think the issues got aired and it's clear there is some divergence of views, but it was not very adversarial."

Ugh, one in a million chance of that happening. I feel for the family. That would probably ruin the children on the outdoors when something like this happens at that age.

Very sad. I'm always interested in why reporters include facts such as what type of tree it was that fell. I don't suppose it makes much difference. Thoughts and prayers go out to that family.

I beg your pardon. It DOES make a difference what kind of tree it was. Sycamores and cottonwoods are very "Trashy" trees, in that they drop twigs and branches at the least provocation. An ash or oak is much less likely to haul off and kill you.

Pardon given. So one should particularly beware of nearby Sycamores when setting up camp? In some cases, it's just luck of the draw as to which might fall.

CNET Editors' review
If you're looking for an easy-to-use digital scrapbook, Photo Collage Maker may be for you. You can use it to create attractive photo collages for your PC, e-mail, or Web site, too, and print out your creations as actual scrapbooks with ease. It comes with a wide range of backgrounds, clip art, borders, and effects that make it easy to put images of different sizes and even formats together.
Its clean, attractive interface keeps things simple. Simplicity is the program's biggest advantage, since most new PCs already come with at least one image-editing tool, often a "lite" version of a powerful program like Photoshop. But it can take longer to learn to use such extensive and complex tools than it does to actually complete a project with Photo Collage Maker. It collects all the features, frames, borders, enhancements, and effects you need in one place, without overwhelming you with options and settings.
Using Photo Collage Maker is easy: you simply choose your background, colors, clip art, and other aspects of composition, browse to your image files, and add your selections. We'd like to see the ability to add multiple files at once, since it can be awkward to scroll back through the folder. Some of the effects are a bit difficult to use; for instance, the perspective tool has a button to apply the effect but not one to undo it. Photo Collage Maker downloads as a ZIP file; the 30-use trial version lacks the ability to print collages and download new clip art.
Publisher's Description
From AMS Software:
Photo Collage Maker is digital scrapbooking and photo collage software. Photo Collage Maker allows you to create and print scrapbook layouts. Automate your work with compositions, enhance photos with effects, spice up your creation with borders, frames, backgrounds, and clipart.
What's new in this version: Version 3.25 includes 100+ photo collage templates and scrapbook layouts.

"Cool tool for digiscrapping"
Version: Photo Collage Maker 3.17
All things done with drag-n-drop; basic and fancy tools for editing images; layer tools that even a kid can use; customizable templates - resize or replace any single element as you like.
Photo fix tools hard to find at first - eventually found them in Filters inside Frames and Effects.
I've been using the Collage Maker for a few weeks now - stumbled upon their demo on YouTube and got excited about trying a project with my own pictures. The program is really user-friendly, no matter if I use template pages, or start from scratch. Scrapbookers who are used to traditional ways will hardly feel the difference, except for the cost. You just pick your pictures, and play around, move the pics and clipart, change the frames, try different colors, until it's perfect. That would last long and cost a lot with traditional scrap supplies. So, if you were wary of digiscrapping, thinking you need to be good with computers to do it, the Collage Maker will make you change your mind.

Press and Media CenterXTERRA Makes its Debut in Nebraska and XPS Weekend RoundupEd Oliver and Kaelly Simpson won the XTERRA B.O.L.T. (Branched Oak Lake) off-road triathlon in Raymond, Nebraska on Saturday – the first-ever XTERRA in the state. Race director Jared Carlson brings us this report: Nebraska's first off-road triathlon was welcomed with a spectacular greeting. "It was 4am and somebody started banging on the garage door with a sledgehammer and then proceeded to come into my bedroom and flick the lights on and off. As I woke from my slumber, I realized there wasn't someone playing games with me, it was just a severe thunderstorm wreaking havoc on Nebraska" said Carlson. Apprehension levels were high as the storm raged on through the morning creating a muddy wonderland for over a hundred brave souls. Around 7am the heavens opened up and cleared as if to grant permission to continue on with the masochistic festivities. Part of the aftermath of the storm shut down interstate I-80 with an accident which left 30 of the would be competitors at a stand still for over an hour. The couple inches of rain caused not only changes in most participants pre-race routines, but also caused some re-routing of the course. Despite all the opposition, when the air horn blared the athletes charged into the water creating a virtual washing machine for spectators to watch. The athletes then swam the 1000 meter two lap course to try and gain good position before having to traverse the 14.3 mile mountain bike course and 4.5 mile trail run. Muddy mayhem then ensued taking its toll on everyone daring to answer its challenge. One of the casualties of the course, was the bike of XTERRA pro Brandon Jessop. After breaking a spoke and messing up his derailleur instead of calling it quits on the course, he began to carry his bike. According to Jessop, he was just having too much fun to not be able to finish the race. Carol Niemann made a fake wincing expression every time the announcer yelled out her age, to which she always received an enormous response from the crowd. Being 64 years young just sent a message to all of the spectators, that you're only as old as you want to be. Kaelly Simpson after breaking her arm earlier this season, decided to buy a mountain bike the week before the race to see if off-road triathlons were everything she hoped they were. She wasn't disappointed as she won the overall women's race and collected over $200 in gift certificates to Cycle Works bike shop. It was stories like these that abounded and left an impression to all that participated that XTERRA embodies the spirit of strength. The strength to adapt and overcome any obstacles that are put in your way....even if they happen to be in Nebraska. Full Results. GRIESER, SHONNY V WIN CAMP EAGLE Long-time XTERRA amateur standout Kyle Grieser held off America's fastest XTERRA female, Shonny Vanlandingham, by 28 seconds to win the overall at the Pure Austin Fitness XTERRA Camp Eagle off-road triathlon on Sunday in Rock Springs, Texas. "Race was epic, an adventure for sure," said Shonny V (pictured below). " Kyle and I were together with a half mile to go, and at the fourth water crossing I fell in … and he didn't. That's where he gapped me and won by 30 seconds. Darn Boys." The 40-year-young part-time Texan went on to say that "swimming in the spring fed Nueces River was refreshing. Midway we climbed ladders up the damn and continued the swim and exited to climb 100 ft of stairs. The bike course was technical, the last section being down a ravine." "The real competition started after the race, when the twin 100 ft water slides saw some serious battles." Full Results. SHONNY V IN AUSTIN THIS WEEKEND Shonny Vanlandingham, a former Div. I basketball star at East Texas State University, is racing at XTERRA Austin on Sunday and here is her preview: "There is a combination $1000 prize purse for the top 3 men and women for XTERRA Camp Eagle and XTERRA Austin this weekend. XTERRA Austin is actually a wetsuit swim in a cold natural spring fed river. That will feel good since it's 100 degrees down here. The bike is a challenging ride with lots of rocks hops and wheelie drops (if you have the nerve). There is a Mr. or Ms. Clean award for who ride the most technical sections. These Texans know how to ride. And, Oh yeah, my sponsor, Kona Brew, will provide suds for the race. Nice!" VINE, TOBIN WIN XTERRA PORTLAND XTERRA Pros Mike Vine and Jenny Tobin (pictured here courtesy Brian Conaghan Photography) won the overall titles at XTERRA Portland in Forest Grove, Oregon on Saturday while Matt Berg and Sheri Foster won the amateur crowns. Vine finished nearly four minutes ahead of Branden Rakita (Berg was 3rd overall), followed by Will Kelsay and Jeff Smith. See Full Results here. SCOTT, ENSLOW WIN AGAIN IN INDIANA Chris Scott and Beverly Enslow (pictured) won their second XTERRA Dino off-road triathlon in as many weeks on Saturday, this time in Logansport, Indiana (last week was Versailles).

View Poll Results: What will be the best DT duo in 2013?
- Voters

Thread: Top 5 DT duos
07-06-2013, 09:18 AM #11Coach Leslie Frazier said he wants the first of the Vikings' three first-round picks in this year's draft to play in a rotation system with Williams, initially coming in to give the 32-year-old Williams a rest.
...the plan now clearly is for Floyd to play defeinsive tackle, with the rookie initially working behind Williams.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Without being too much of a homer, I truly believe by the end of this season, Williams and Floyd will be the best inside duo across the league. Yes, they are helped a lot by JA drawing a double team, but still they are going to be a force.

We're bringing purple back.
LOL, well played old friend. Well played indeed. I'm just gonna say, come back and see me over time. I think you will include young Shariff in that mix just like I put Johnnie in that mix.
However, one last candidate.......Warren Sapp. Warpig or not? Before you answer....He played at about 300-315 lbs his whole career.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
Actually I would say neither was and that has been my point. you can have one heck of a DL without your warpig. I kinda like the results of that line when we didn't have one.
This is where we differ, I do value where a player was drafted, because that is the true opinion of the true experts. 22 teams decided he wasn't the top player on the board, all of them have scouts. The Panthers and Jets, who also have scouts, chose different DTs while Floyd was still on the board.
Which has more weight, Yours and Mayocks opinion, or the opinion of the majority of the teams in the NFL?
The Jets gave up quite a bit to trade up and draft Sanchez. Not sure I trust their judgemant. The Panthers? Not really much there to make me think they know what they are doing considering Gabbert is way more of a bust than Ponder and that they have spent multiple firsts on QB's in the past few years that may never pan out.
Good stuff old friend, just one point.....
Just because a team didn't select a guy, doesn't mean they didn't have him highly ranked. I might mean that they guy didn't fit their scheme.
For instance, young Shariff, might have been graded pretty highly by all teams needing a 4-3 DT and and not as high as teams needing a 3-4 DT.
Then, the BPA concept be danged because they don't really follow it.....a team that had a need for a 4-3 DT might have had a higher need for a LT than a 4-3 DT and passed on him.
If you look at the teams that picked a DT, it seemed to me that they picked them according to what early rumors suggested they might be doing on defense this year (Jets (3-4 even though there was some early discussion this year about switching to a 4-3/Panthers, McDermott said they were going to play more 3-4 this year).
And if you look at what team needs were going into the draft, very few teams (Bronco's and they picked behind us so we won't know who they had higher Shariff or Williams) had DT as high as us on that list.
Long story longer, I see were you are going and it makes sense but it also makes perfect sense why a guy would slip if he was as highly touted as Shariff was.

Google Map GPS Cell Phone Tracker allows you to track Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Java ME cellphones using Google Maps. It has two parts, a server and phone clients. You have a choice of two servers, using asp.net and SQL server or PHP and MySQL. The server software allows you to view cellphone locations in realtime using Google Maps and store routes and view them later. The client applications send their locations to the website periodically. All four applications work properly in the background and are written natively on each platform.
KeyAccess is a light-weight object-relational mapping (ORM) tool for Java, using existing databases as the starting point to generate a domain model. Its main goal is to reduce and sometimes eliminate manual updating between your domain object model and the underlying databases, while still being able to use arbitrarily complex SQL queries. In addition, KeyAccess doesn't mandate a special architecture or framework – it will work in any application using JDBC.

This is as good as shredding can get. I really love the fast-paced parts; they compliment the extremely fast drum beats. Keep up the good work, and you will most likely attract more listeners to this genre of awesomeness.

Going barefoot (unshod) is the gentlest way of walking & running, and can symbolize a way of living — authentic, vulnerable & sensitive to our surroundings. Whether its feeling warm sand beneath your toes, carefully making your way over sharp rocks in the darkness, or simply running on concrete, barefooting is fun. It's living with the lightest impact, removing a barrier between us and nature.
Welcome to /r/barefoot. We are glad to have you here!
This is only for barefoot discussion, no minimalist shoe discussion. This is simply to be more focused, not elitist. This reddit was inspired by this post by xorandor.
Q: What about glass?
A: Glass is not an issue, when you go barefoot you watch where you step. There is less glass than you think.
Q: Is barefooting painful?
A: No. After a period of adjustment, your foot sensations will return to normal and going barefoot will feel like a good massage. The nerves in your feet become hyper sensitive in an attempt to feel the ground if you wear cushioned shoes over long periods of time.
Q: How do i start barefooting?
A: Just do it! Take off your shoes, go for a walk outside.
Q: When I take my socks off, my feet stink. Don't your feet stink?
A: Nope, by going barefoot, sweat evaporates and does not stink.

Tried being barefoot for the first time (self.barefoot)
submitted 6 months ago by xzased
I always had to wear orthopedics. I have flat feet and they pretty much look like hobbit feet, wide, huge on the sides for a size 44. I never really tried to run or do sports much since I had asthma as a kid and focused on other activities instead. In short, I am in bad shape and running has always been a pain for me. Then I started reading about running barefoot after visiting the Tarahumaras. I couldn't recall the last time I tried doing anything without my shoes on, so I gave it a try, and boy did I feel lighter. I can run more and better than with my running shoes, with less pain as well. Right now I'm trying to get used to being barefoot in different surfaces, so I went to a park and I can really feel how my feet are weak compared to the rest of my body. Everything felt strange and like a threat, as if my brain was forcing me to be extremely cautious despite my eyes seeing nothing but nice grass. I only stepped on some small goatheads, they didn't pierce my feet but it is not a pleasant feel ha, pavement gets really hot as well, other than that it was pretty good. I think I may be getting rid of my shoes sooner than I expected.
[–]klew3 7 points8 points9 points 6 months ago
Awesome stuff! I will say to read the sidebar to familiarize you with different tools for progress and stuff to watch out for. Barefooting is awesome but it's not always a panacea. So take it slow and have fun!
p.s. Even still I am more scared to go on grass barefoot than concrete because with concrete you know 99% what you're stepping on.
[–]xzased[S] 4 points5 points6 points 6 months ago
Taking it slow is probably the hardest part. I feel like a kid at a new playground.
[–]MadeOfStarStuff 5 points6 points7 points 6 months ago
You've taken your first steps into a larger world
[–]xzased[S] 2 points3 points4 points 6 months ago
I find it weird how it feels like a different world, even though I do the same things as before.
[–]LWRellim 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
It's the REAL world... one that you (like I was a couple of years back) have been missing out on because you went around with "gloves" on your feet for years.
Imagine how different the world would be if you had grown up and been taught/forced to wear gloves (or maybe even more aptly: mittens) on your hands for your entire life... then, suddenly, you learned you could take the gloves/mittens OFF... and the sensation of "touch" and the world your fingertips could explore was -- WHAM! -- suddenly available to you.
And then realize that your feet are nearly ALWAYS in contact with something or another... so really, the effect is kind of multiplied.
[–]rynosoft 2 points3 points4 points 6 months ago
Soon you will find yourself unconsciously watching a few feet in front of you as you walk which will help to avoid hazards. Welcome aboard!
I couldn't recall the last time I tried doing anything without my shoes on, so I gave it a try, and boy did I feel lighter. I can run more and better than with my running shoes, with less pain as well.
I find that I can "maneuver" much quicker as well -- more abrupt & sharper turns, dodges, etc.
It's like the difference between a helicopter (barefoot) and a regular airplane (shod).
I freak my cats out by chasing them (i.e. running dodging & playful stuff) around my yard... something that I could never have even imagined attempting much less actually succeeding at if I had shoes on.
Plus of course... it's hella fun! I too feel like a kid again at times.
(Note, nicely kept-up turfgrass is a true joy -- I'd strongly suggest getting a frisbee and going out for a barefoot toss with a friend or two in a local park... it's really invigorating!)
[–]Leatherworker 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
Somewhere I have scans of a person's footprints that shows how going barefoot took them from flat feet to normal feet. Just because your foot muscles get stronger and starts functioning again.
Find a barefoot hiking group near you. They are always great to help you in the beginning. You are not maybe in the Twin Cities?
[–]xzased[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
Nope, I'm over the Juarez/El Paso border. I just found out there is a hiking and running group that meet at the hills, but so far nobody goes barefoot :/

by - written on 10/04/12 (Very useful, 120 readings)
For most of my adult life, I've cheerfully been making do with an electric whisk that's probably older than time itself. It was made of Bakelite, was originally white but had gradually yellowed with age and had go faster stripes down the side. It looked about as un-snazzy as it's possible for a kitchen appliance to get. But I didn't mind that, because I'm not arsey about these things and it did the job pretty well. And then I dropped it. At first, I thought I could gaffer tape it back together, like I've done with 90% of everything else in my house, but sadly it was not to be. Any time it was switched on a smell of electrical burning emanated from it and the whisks had .. Read the complete review

BASICS: Part of a little family of Sainsbury's basics products, including a lamp, kettle, toaster and hand blender - all of which can be picked up for around the £5 mark. Easy release two whisk 100 watt mixer with five separate speed settings (numbered 1-5). THE LOOK: Rather ugly, bulbous and more reminiscent of an iron than a hand-mixer, with a triumpherate of wart-like projections to stand it on. OK, so maybe it's not that bad. It's your standard white plastic kitchen goods colour with a stream-lined handle incorporated. 30cm high and around 20cm length, it would work well in combination with any standard sized mixing bowl and can ...

I've always enjoyed making my own cakes, but the process of blending the ingredients together can take a toll on my arm strength after a while. Being the weak woman that I am I decided to invest in a cheap hand mixer to help the process along and make my cake making faster and more enjoyable. I wasn't really worried about what I was going to buy so when I went into Sainsbury's to get my weekly shop; I just had a browse along the electrical aisles. Coming in at £4.99 Sainsbury's Basics version of a hand mixer was too good a price to turn my nose up at. What a bargain for something that would hopefully make my life easier. Into my trolley it ...

I've powered through wisking as long as I can despite having very weak wrists in both arms when suddenly I decided enough was enough and if I was going to continue baking I needed a light-weight mixer that would prevent any more pain and difficulty. I purchased this from the basics range because I don't have a huge budget and often less doesn't always mean less quality. This cost me from memory around £4.99 or maybe less which is excellent value. It is very small and lightweight, with everything you need in a very compact area. The box manages to easily slot every component in and I've kept it even though I've owned the mixer for well over a year as its so ... Read the complete review

Full description for Book of the Dead
"The Egyptian Book of the Dead" is unquestionably one of the most influential books in all history. Embodying a ritual to be performed for the dead, with detailed instruction for the behavior of the disembodied spirit in the Land of the Gods, it served as the most important repository of religious authority for some three thousand years. Chapters were carved on the pyramids of the ancient 5th Dynasty, texts were written in payrus, and selections were painted on mummy cases well into the Christian Era. In a certain sense it stood behind all Egyptian civilization.

People Of Walmart Halloween Costumes
We would like to thank all of you who took some initiative and dressed up as a person of Walmart for Halloween. It is both flattering and disturbing…just the way we like it!
People Of Walmart Halloween Costumes, -
Problem is, these people look too healthy, physically and otherwise and clean to be anything but a Halloween costume – to be a true PoWM is to have a distinct air of casual "I give up", combined with self delusion, bad diet, bad taste, bad job (if any), bad genes, bad teeth, bad booze, bad drugs, bad choices, bad tattoos, smoking, drinking, Jerry Springer audition lifestyles, along with a heavy dollop of too much of whatever it is that produces that undeniable "look" of ground in multi-generational poverty/mental illness, be it spiritual or literal – something you can't acquire deliberately. Still, nice try!

Dates: Monday 23 May - Tuesday 24 MayTime: 9:45am - 5:00pm
OverviewThis is a two day course for anyone wanting a route through photo realistic node based compositing using Nuke in a classroom with a tutor.
It is possible to use on-line resources to advance learning at no further cost, after the course. The course tutor will guide you to these resources.
If you are an artist, animator, filmmaker or editor and want to see what all the fuss is about with node based compositing or you are using After Effects and want to begin the transition from layers to nodes, then this is the course for you.
The only pre-requisite for this course, is basic computer literacy.
What will I learn?On the course, you will build a photorealistic vfx shot from photographed elements over the two days.
You will learn about creating basic 3d environments from stills, keying, grading, masking, filters, animation, colour space, rendering and project optimisation. You will be able to take course materials and a step by step training guide away with you, to work with at home, using the Nuke Personal Learning Edition, available from the Foundry website.
All our course materials are provided by the National Film and Television School.
What is Nuke, anyway?
Nuke has now replaced Shake as the compositor of choice, for visual effects facilities across the world. Its strengths are in its speed, high quality image processing and flexibility within collaborative workflows.

The presidential election is less than 50 days away, and investors are re-examining their portfolios. Some sectors and stocks figure to do well if President Barack Obama is re-elected, while others should benefit if challenger Republican Mitt Romney moves into the White House.
But some caution that it may be tougher than usual to predict the outcome of this election, let alone figure out how to make money from the results. Indeed, some Wall Street pros detect more caution than in some past years among investors playing the election game.
James Bianco, who runs trading and research firm Bianco Research in Chicago, says financial markets aren't yet placing big bets on either Obama or Romney. He cites polls showing the candidates neck and neck.
Conventional wisdom holds that the stock market does well when a Republican wins. Presidents from the GOP tend to favor lower taxes and less spending, analysts say. Some go as far as to say the stock market's strength this year comes as Romney's chances of victory have improved.
But the policies of presidents don't always match their campaign planks, and post-election returns also don't always fit a clear pattern, suggesting there's just so much a president can dictate when it comes to the stock market. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($NDU) fell 7.5% in the 12 months after Ronald Reagan, a Republican, won the presidential election in 1980. But it rose 12.8% the year after he was re-elected in 1984.
The Dow soared 23.3% in the year after George H.W. Bush, also a Republican, was elected in 1988. But the average also jumped 12.6% after Democrat Bill Clinton was elected in 1992 and rose 26.5% after he was re-elected in 1996.
Overall, data from Citigroup point to better returns under Democratic presidents over the course of their terms. The market also tends to do better when a challenger wins, data show.
Focus on specific sectors
A better bet is to focus on specific sectors that might outperform if a candidate wins. Tobias Levkovich, Citigroup's chief U.S. equity strategist, says "a Romney victory may benefit several industries such as energy, health care, defense, utilities and financials."
Financial shares could rise because Romney has pledged to repeal various restrictions of the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law, Levkovich says. Defense stocks may be helped because the industry currently faces major spending cuts, but Romney has pledged his commitment to defense spending, analysts note.
John Brynjolfsson, who runs hedge fund Armored Wolf, is a fan of technology and green-energy shares if Obama is re-elected, because he's considered more open to spending in this area, and recommends PowerShares Cleantech Portfolio (PZD) exchange-traded fund. Others favor generic-drug makers, which could profit from Obama's health plan.
An Obama victory also could help Microsoft (MSFT), says Brynjolfsson, because "Obama's leaning toward industrial policy, and centrally managing major productivity initiatives," could help the tech giant. (Microsoft owns and publishes MSN Money.)

Notice Inviting Comment
Proposed New Rule - SJC Rule 1:23
Proposed New Rule
Regarding Modifications of Certain Gift Instruments
Under Section 5 of the Uniform Prudent Management
of Institutional Funds Act (G.L. c. 180A)
The Supreme Judicial Court invites comments on a proposed new rule of court regarding modifications of certain gift instruments under Section 5 of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (G.L.c. 180A, as amended last year). Before last year's amendments, only the court could modify restrictions that had become impractical or wasteful. Section 5 now provides that the court, by rule or order, may allow the Attorney General to approve such modifications.
The proposed rule, recommended by a working group appointed by the court, allows institutions to modify restrictions on the management, investment or duration of an institutional fund or to modify the purpose of the fund or a restriction on its use in certain circumstances without application to the court but with the consent of the Attorney General. The requirement of a court proceeding may be dispensed with only if the value of the institutional fund is $75,000 or less and the fund has been in existence for twenty years or longer. The Attorney General is authorized to adopt requirements, forms and procedures for use in the approval process.
Comments on the proposed rule should be directed to Christine P. Burak, Secretary, Rules Committee, Supreme Judicial Court , John Adams Courthouse, One Pemberton Square ,

Moreover, the book includes an extensive critical essay on brand culture by French philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky, and an introduction by Ludovic Houplain explaining the creation process of the film Logorama, from its inception to its finalization." —Taschen

Vogue covers by Parisian artist André Edouard Marty
When I saw a post about "The Art of Vogue Covers," my eye was first drawn towards the elegant composition and illustration on the July 23, 1930 issue. The seemingly sparse magazine cover makes wonderful use of white space, with subtle smoke travelling upwards to blend softly into the thick, hand-lettered Vogue masthead.
Above is another fashionable Vogue cover with full-bleed art of a woman painting. On this cover from August 1929, "Vogue" looks painted in cursive, with each letter linking to the next without hesitation, one continuous stroke of a brush.
Both covers are by André Edouard Marty. I'm slightly embarrassed that I was unfamiliar with the artist A. E. Marty until today.

While Mortals Sleep by Kurt Vonnegut, book cover design by Lynn Buckley
After Carin Goldberg's strong, iconic branding system for Vonnegut classics in the late 1980s, it was likely an exciting challenge for a cover designer to repackage the backlist again. Lynn Buckley established a new paperback series design for the books in 2009, which extends to previously unpublished works.
The three volume, Vintage paperback boxed set for Haruki Murakami's 1Q84, designed by John Gall, publishes on May 15th, 2012.

vintage book covers on shelf transformed into stop-motion love story
Filmmaker Spike Jonze worked with handbag designer Olympia Le-Tan and director Simon Cahn to create Mourir Auprès de Toi. The end result is a beautiful stop motion animated short film set inside the Shakespeare & Company book shop in Paris.
"Designer Olympia Le-Tan's embroidered clutch-bags spring to life in director Spike Jonze's tragicomic stop-motion animation Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side).

Sabres acquire Henrik Tallinder from Devils for Riley Boychuk
Henrik Tallinder is returning to Buffalo after the Sabres acquired him from the New Jersey Devils. The Sabres sent Riley Boychuk to New Jersey in the deal.
Tallinder spend the first eight years of his career in Buffalo before signing a four-year deal with the Devils in 2010. He never really lived up to expectations in New Jersey, dealing with injuries never sporting a positive plus/minus so the Devils will be happy to shed the $3.5 million Tallinder is due in 2013-14.
Meanwhile, the Sabres add to their already deep defense corps. with a familiar face who they are hoping can help mentor their younger player.
Boychuk has not played a game in the NHL after being selected in the seventh round of the 2010 Draft by the Sabres. He had eight goals and nine assists in the Central Hockey League last season.

Fast Company (cont.)Posted: Tuesday May 1, 2007 11:23AM; Updated: Thursday May 3, 2007 5:14PM "When he's at bat, infielders have to play shallower because he'll bunt or beat out most ground balls," explains Joe Girardi, the Yankees' TV analyst, who managed the Marlins' last season. "When he's on base he upsets pitchers' rhythms. You'll see them throw over more, hold the ball more, pitch out more, which can create bad counts for them. He might even cause a change in pitch selection. Pitchers will throw fewer breaking balls because they're afraid he'll steal." Rockies righty Josh Fogg describes the psychological torment Reyes inflicts on pitchers when he's standing on first. "You've got to be cognizant of him," Fogg says, "but you can't let yourself get in such a funk that you make bad pitches to the next guy.... Him standing on second might not be the worst thing. I can see him a little better at second base at least." There is one category in which Ramirez may have an advantage over Reyes -- of whom the Nationals' Bowden says, "He will eventually be a 30-home-run hitter." Says first-year Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez, "It wouldn't surprise me one day if we pick up the paper and we see, well, Hanley hit 40." Ramirez, who has played in just 179 major league games, appears to have the largest gap between his already impressive present and his future -- especially if you consider the view of second-year Braves starter Chuck James, who is one of only four pitchers against whom Ramirez has had more than six at bats in his career without a hit. James possesses clear-eyed strategies on how to face Reyes ("I don't try to nibble, because you don't want to walk him") and Rollins ("Every home run I've seen, he's pulled, so you almost have to go away from him"), but when it comes to Ramirez, he's got no game plan. "This guy you're talking about, I can't even tell you what team he plays for," says James. "I don't remember ever facing him." As Ramirez continues his progress through the upper echelon of major league shortstops, James, and the rest of baseball, will come to know his name as well as they do know Rollins's and Reyes's. And soon. 4 of 4
