10.9 Mavericks - how to easily make a USB installer
Since 10.9 Mavericks went to Gold Master status last week, there's been a plethora of sites running instructions on how to make a bootable USB (or HD) installer. All of them have the same basic instructions. And all of them have chosen the difficult way - making all files visible, dragging items to the desktop, etc.
None of this is required. The following is the easy way of creating a bootable copy of the installer.
Firstly, make sure there's a copy of Install OS X Mavericks sitting in your Applications folder. Grab an 8GB flash drive and make sure it's partitioned as GUID and formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Call it Untitled (for example).
Next, simply open a terminal and paste the following command (followed by enter) ..
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
The installation also looks as though it's stalled on 2 minutes. Don't panic - the install can take up to an hour.
iOS 7 Global Release Times
For those wanting to know the exact release times for iOS 7, here they are.
Don't forget that you'll need iTunes 11.1 for the installation. And, as always, back up your device either using iTunes or to iCloud.
Mavericks 10.9 DP6 bug squashes and enhancements
With the public release of Mavericks looming in the non-too distant future, Apple seem to have been bevering away squashing bugs. The big one (as far as I'm concerned) is that the "Books" tab has reappeared in the latest bundled iTunes (11.1b48).
Here's a part of the Seed Notes as sent to us....
Notes and Known Issues
iCloud and iCloud Keychain
- - iCloud Keychain will be disabled after installing Developer Preview 6. It can be re-enabled in the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences.
- - It may be necessary to refresh the App Store Purchases page before Developer Preview 4 will appear in the list of purchases.
- - Network migration from earlier versions of OS X requires the Migration Update for Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion, available from the Mac Dev Center.
- - Migration from Windows is not supported in Developer Preview 6.
OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 6 includes a preview of iBooks for Mac. When you sign in with your iTunes account you will be able to access your existing iBooks library as well as the iBooks Store.
What should I try:
- - Verify that your book library from iTunes 11.1 Beta moved to iBooks. Books are moved when you open iBooks for the first time.
- - Open and read a variety of books, including your favorite novels, picture books, and multi-touch books.
- - Add bookmarks, highlights, and notes, and verify that they sync to iBooks on iOS and other Macs. Note that you must have the Sync Bookmarks preference enabled.
- - Sync books to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch using iTunes.
- - Download books and samples from the iBooks Store in iBooks.
- - Download books from the iBooks Store in iTunes and verify that they appear in iBooks.
Known Issues:
- - If iBooks is not open and signed in to the iBooks Store when a book is purchased in iTunes, the purchased book will not download in iBooks.
Third-Party Applications
- - The Twitter application may unexpectedly quit when sending a tweet.
- - Screen recordings taken with Developer Preview 6 are not compatible with earlier releases of OS X.
- - Moving a full-screen Aperture window to a secondary display may prevent the app window from being visible in subsequent attempts to use full screen.
- - Fusion Drive volumes created with Developer Preview 6 are not compatible with OS X v10.8.4 or earlier.
- - Applications may stop responding to scroll events, particularly while using the accessibility zoom feature. If you experience this problem, restarting OS X should resolve the issue.
- - FaceTime calls may continue to ring after caller has ended the call.
- - Some strings in Keychain and Certificate Assistant may not be fully localized.
- - Starting in Developer Preview 4, non-admin users will be allowed to install and update software from the Mac App Store. This functionality can be disabled with a profile that sets the "restrict-store-require-admin-to-install" key to true (boolean) in the com.apple.appstore domain.

Five Things U May Not Know About Elves
Mario Evon strikes again with Five Things U Didn't Know About Me. So here are Five Things that I doubt people know about me. Even if you know some, I don't think you know all 5.
1. I Have A Cold Side
Most people think I am warm and fuzzy or at least shy. I do however have a very decisive side that will pare my nose, spoil my face and make my point in one fell swoop. Usually my decision seems sudden and those affected are usually caught unaware. Fact is I have been wrestling with the decision for a while. I have thought it through. I have weighed the pros and the cons. I do all of this silently and I suppose this is the deadly part. One day I will say "This is not working for me" or "This is the last conversation we are having" or "I will no longer require your service." I will bear the pain or any other discomfort at this point. It isn't really coldness, it is being misunderstood and at that point I may not care to explain. This side rarely rears its head but whenever I see it I shudder or rather shiver.
2. I Can Sing (Kinda)
Not a professional and in desperate need of vocal training, I can still sing fairly decently on most days. I have done solos at family weddings, funerals and sometimes on the Staff choir. I'm told that I have elicited goosebumps and of course shocked the wits out of some people. Unfortunately, I don't believe I'm as good as they say and because I'm a perfectionist I don't like to display things I don't feel I have mastered. To hear me at my best you would probably have to be beside me during Praise and Worship at church or maybe if you are passing my shower on a good day.
3. I Love To Dance
Like my friend Mario, I love to dance but even he has never seen me in action. Dancing is freedom. Unfortunately, most of the places where dancing is the thing to do is full of people, noise, cigarette smoke and a host of not so cool things. I like people but a few at a time with my introverted self. For some reason hotel discotheques disarm me and I dance with no abandon whenever I am there. Otherwise it's my living room or bedroom. Again I shock people because of how quickly I pick up moves, the fact that I can move or just the fact that I keep rhythm.
4. I'm A Fashionista without the Wardrobe
I looooveee fashion. I actually have a few sites where I watch the trends and just love to see what is emerging and what is hot. This is not necessarily reflected in my wardrobe but I will "tun' mi han' an mek fashion" as we say in Jamaica as I can sometimes skillfully juggle the clothes and accessories I own to make my own EC styled outfits. I'm usually happy with my fit outs but I'm not sure everybody will be. It's like art.
5. I Like to Sew
I was reminded of this when I was mending something this week. I can't make patterns and sew a skirt just so. I actually like to sew with my hands. So things like embroidery and recently I have been thinking of taking up crochet for which I only know the basics. It's actually quite calming and a tradition for the women in my family. I threaded many a needle as a child for the older women. I plan to make doilies and embroider "I love Grandma" on my grandchild's chemise. :D
Those are my five. As an introvert this feels downright icky but hey sometimes you gotta crawl out of your shell.

A Modern Showcase: Shidai (Modern Miscellany) in 1930s Shanghai
Kuiyi Shen, Professor, Art & Media History, Theory, and Criticism, Department of Visual Arts, University of California, San Diego
The large format monthly Shidai (Modern Miscellany) was published between 1929 and 1935, spanning a period during which the Nationalist government vigorously promoted its agenda of building a new, modern China. After two decades of political chaos that followed overthrow of the last dynasty, the magazine seemed to celebrate the new potential for national progress. It was a showcase of the cultural world of Shanghai, and explored through visual images the many ways in which China had become a modern society. By using striking graphic design, compelling cover images, up-to-date layout, new typography and lettering, and sophisticated printing technology, Shidai both successfully represented, and was itself part of, China's modernizing visual culture.

4 Steps To Employee Appreciation
1. Be Clear and Communicative As a boss, the daily tasks carried out by employees are direct orders that have come from you. Yet like many things in life, it's not what you say, but how you say it. Employees appreciate a leader that will define the ultimate goal and will also discuss as a team, the different ways to get there. Whether a casual conversation or formal meeting, the setting really does not matter. All employees want is [...]
Remote Employees – Can You Trust Them?
Nowadays, almost every employee wants the option of a flexible schedule. What's more, many are asking for this in the form of a remote working position, also known as work-from-home. If you ask the entrepreneurs that have adopted this option successfully, they'll tell you that, from employee satisfaction to providing nonmonetary perks, things are great. Still, employers who have never ventured down this alternative path may have some obvious hesitations – one of the main [...]

Holiday Grants for Children
Please note: due to high demand our Holiday Grant Programme for 2014 is now closed.
We expect to re-open the programme in November 2014 for trips taking place in 2015, but please check back here nearer the time for confirmation before applying.
The purpose of this scheme is to provide children with a recreational holiday or outing they would not otherwise have the opportunity to access. This means that we will not fund trips where the primary purpose is education. You must make a clear case for the financial need of the individuals attending as well as the organisation applying.
Applications can be made for grants towards holidays or outings within the UK for children aged 13 and under who are from areas of high deprivation*, are experiencing disadvantage, or who have a disability. We will consider trips for children who live in deprived circumstances within an otherwise affluent area, according to the National Indices for Deprivation, but the case for support must be clearly explained.
Schools, youth groups, not for profit organisations and charities are all eligible to apply. Trips can be to countryside or city locations, but must be outside the children"s immediate locality. We are able to fund day-trips as well as longer residential trips, but are less likely to fund trips to high cost attractions (e.g. theme parks).
Grants of between £500 and £2,500 can be considered. We will only fund a maximum of two-thirds of the total cost of a holiday as we expect some of the funding to be raised elsewhere but please be aware that, even if we are able to make a grant to your organisation, we may not be able to award you the full amount you ask for.
It is important to us that no child be excluded on financial grounds from a trip we are supporting.
Your organisation may receive funding for a maximum of three consecutive years. If your organisation has already received three years' funding, we will not consider a further application until two years after the last grant was awarded. Each application is considered on its own merits, but demand for our grants is high and always exceeds the budget available so, we cannot guarantee that each application will be successful.
If you already have a current grant with us through one of our other grant programmes you cannot apply to the Holiday Grant programme until it is finished.
* by "areas of high deprivation" we mean those that fall within the bottom third of the National Indices of Deprivation. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website for further details.
How to apply
You should apply by completing the Holiday Grants Application form, which can be downloaded using the links at the bottom of this page.
- Please answer every question on the application form
- You may enclose additional information, but this should not exceed two pages
- Please ensure you enclose all the documents and information we ask you for
- All applications (except those from schools) must be accompanied by a copy of your organisation's most recent audited or independently inspected accounts, and
- a detailed budget and fundraising strategy for the trip or holiday which explains where the balance of funds will be/have been raised.
Your application should be posted to us with your latest audited or independently inspected accounts (NB: schools are not required to send accounts) to:
Applications — Holiday Grants
The Henry Smith Charity
6th Floor, 65 Leadenhall Street
London EC3A 2AD
It usually takes between six and eight weeks for decisions to be made on applications.
It is important that your application is submitted at the appropriate time. You must ensure that your application reaches us at least four weeks before your trip takes place. This year, applications will be considered based on the date of the trip as shown below. Decisions will be made for each period on a first come first served basis.
|Date/s of Trip
|Dates when Applications Considered
|1 February - 30 April 2014
|Applications accepted 1 November 2013 - 31 March 2014
|1 May - 30 June 2014
|Applications accepted 1 March - 31 May 2014
|1 July - 10 November 2014
|Applications accepted 1 May - until funds exhausted the grant programme is now closed, as all funds have been allocated.
We reserve the right to share information received from applicants requesting funding, and from those in receipt of funding from us, with other grantmakers, unless an organisation expressly requests otherwise. Knowingly providing false information will invalidate any application or grant.
Telling Us About Your Trip
If you are awarded a grant, you will be expected to send us a short report on the trip within three months of it having taken place.
Your report must include:
- Confirmation that the grant has been spent on the purpose for which it was given — i.e. the trip that you told us about in your original application. If not, please explain.
- Information about how the trip went, how many children benefited, what they gained or learned from it, and any practical results it has produced. Include details of any useful lessons learned that will inform you future work, or that could be of use to others.
- Confirm of whether or not the trip was delivered within budget. If it was not, for example if you have over or under spent, please explain the reasons for this.
If your organisation does not submit a final report, or your report does not cover these questions, we will not be able to consider further requests for funding.
For further information please contact Jo Marren on 020 7264 4978.

Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you.
Life evolves in such way that every creature is unique and although our memories can not be defined, they define us. We all got unique genes and unique memories that gives us unique capabilities and unique reactions in given environment. That has it's functionality which is to increase the likelihood of our survival as a specie. To put it in other words if we were all identical, a single virus could easily kill us all, a given disaster could wipe us all out if we behave the same way.
In my view what define our spirit/soul is our memories, which is what creates our will. Our will combines with our body`s capabilities and thus we produce actions, which further adds to our memories and reflects on our body. The purpose of death therefor is evolution, one entity or specie of even life, can not evolve unless it is capable of changing and change inevitably leads to death so a greater diversity could be created. As history has proven, great disasters has struck the Earth, but life carried on, although 90% of the species were killed, still some remains and thus preserve life, allowing it to continue.
Our memories defines us but they also limits us. If we want to break this chains, we need to learn to abstract ourselves from our memories and who we are. Forgetting even for a short period of time, what we are, allows us to become so much more, which in some way is the essence of mediation in my view point.
In the digital era that we are living in, computers give a greater capability of "memory" thus allows for much greater diversity in the way our memory can define us. Merging with computers and allowing for computers to become part of our life, we continue the path of creating greater diversity and thus increasing the likelihood of survival.

Cherokee indians story
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life…
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. " It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too. "
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win ?"
The old chief replied,
"The one you feed."

Typical example is what's going on with the economy, the fiscal cliff, the problems with many countries here in Europe, etc., that are all results of such shortly lived beneficial progress.
Then there is the sustainable progress. As I said earlier progress is change, a change in the relations formed between all things, so that those relations can become more productive. As anything else in this world, it's not a perfect system, therefore it could change for the better. To put it simple, as any enterprise should produce more profits than losses to sustain itself, so should we, as individuals, participate in this life and our relations with all things, in a way in which we can give more than we consume.
And finally there is this idealistic concept of progress, one that harms nobody and takes nothing away. That might seems like a great type of progres, but the problem with it would be that it`s not quite possible. So for all of you who think they create a change that harms nobody, think again. Thinking what you are doing harms nobody is naive and is recipe for disasters.
Finding ourselfs only acting without thinking of the consequences surely is not the way to go, although that's where we are at currently. Thinking about the consequences so much that we refuse to take any actions because they would harm something or someone, I also find not proper. Instead we should be brave enough to act but also wise enough to realize the consequences of our actions. We should acknowledge the fact, that with any change we make, we take something away and destroy something and the only way to justify that would be if we give more and create more back. To think any action we take could be perfect is the result of arrogant thinking. It`s much easier to try focus on creating positive inflow, rather than trying to be perfect.
Does bad really exist ?
As I have written before, good can easily turn to bad without you knowing it. Whether that good, you are doing, will have positive result is a matter of change. The force of change is part of a duality that covers all aspects of life. To better understand it I can quote Yakuza, which are one of the biggest mafia syndicates in the world:
"The Yakuza is like pollution from exhaust fumes. Automobiles need gasoline to move. But if you use that gasoline and make the car move, exhaust fumes will come out. Anyplace you go, you will find this cycle."
So in order for our society to move forward we create "pollution". That pollution is part of a process and can't be separated, thus crime will exist along with the progress of a society. That is due to the force of change. Since we all take different places along that process, we are different parts of that car Yakuza talked about. Some of us consume the gasoline where others create the pollution. If we say the ones that create the pollution in the society are bad is to show that we do not understand the whole process. Not to say those creating pollution never see any of that gasoline. What matters is that everyone has their function in the process. It's neither good nor bad. I do hope the whole metaphor was clear enough.
Yakuza states that life is not about good or bad but rather what you do from the position you were given in it, a thought that originates from Buddhism. Even the mafia can have code of honor and not hurt civilians, for example, like Yakuza.
It is much easier for the richest man on Earth, who just inherits all his fortune, to also be the most generous one. Even after he becomes the most generous he'll still have enough money that he won't be able to spend until the rest of his life. A poor man might die because of his generosity and won't even be noticed.
Good is relative term as most often a short term good causes negative result in a long term and a short term bad creates positive results in long term. In the end there is still good and bad in the world, as they are part of a process. The function of that process is not to change the life into a place with only good or bad but to change the person interacting with it, by providing him with experience and awareness.
Environment shapes who we are
Many people see things as black or white. Reality, on the other hand, shows that things are connected so well, with each other, that we can barely call them separate. The more one realizes those connections, the less he sees the world as black and white.
One of the clearest examples of how well things are connected is what we call environment. As I've written before, who we are is determined by the environment we've grown in and all experiences we've had. An extremely aggressive person could be a result of quite reasonable instinct for survival of someone growing in dangerous or aggressive environment. Should we put such a person in peaceful environment, he would most likely lose his synchronization with it. The result of such change is most often negative, in that case for both that person and environment. Thus should we try to understand someone better we should always think about the environment he has grown in.
We are not only being shaped by our environment, but we are environment ourselves and we help shape others into who they will be. As family is one of the most important parts in each person`s environment, we should try realize how adequate is our lessons to the kids we are raising. The more adequate those lessons are the less time they'll take to adapt to the reality and thus more time they will have to change and shape the world into a better place.
Realizing the deep connection we are having with our environment and thus with everyone else, really makes it easier for one to see the world as a whole. Guilt and punishment should turn into desire to synchronize and tools to do so. That is also why a true morality is so important for everyone's progress.
We remain blind for all things we are not capable of understanding. If we focus on expanding our own mind and thinking we are going to see so much more.
All of our emotions are delusions created by our own body. They are being used by it so we can focus our attention upon certain problem. Having emotions as a guide for your actions is not such a bad thing, but mostly they are helpful on very basic level and we should instead rely on our mind, rationality and will. A very good example is how the early mans reacted on treats from predators, by instead of running in fear, being capable of complex thinking and communication with each other, the early mans fought off the predator together by running towards him and thus triggering his instinct of fear.
Many of the people nowadays let themselves to be controlled by emotions without realizing those emotions are delusions, in typically materialistic manner. You can see that around you everyday. Some destroy themselves with drugs, in a desire for happiness and joy. Some, being controlled by the emotions of fear and anger, fail to synchronize and bond with everyone else. Others slowly decay, because of their laziness and lack of will.
We tend to get attached to an object as soon as we recognize it as pleasant. Should we recognize an object as unpleasant we start feeling aversion and hatred. Needless to say such types of reactions cause suffering and unhappiness.
To put it simple, in a typically materialistic society, when one likes something he immediately feels he needs to have that thing. Should he manage to fool himself he has it, he receives a delusional reward. Should he fail to obtain that object of his desires, he suffers.
Buddhism provides very good teaching that helps one escapes and realizes those delusions. By giving more power to your mind, rationality and will you can avoid the unnecessary suffering deriving from your delusions.
What religion truly does is moral teaching and those teachings are quite common among all religions. All the holy books are the tools those religion had, back in time, to spread those teachings. All the stories those books contained were to help illustrate better particular ideas and spark one's mind to think over the moral aspects of life. When you are reading those books you should also realize they were written at times of extreme violence and poor civilization development. Naturally ones those moral teachings are eventually well enough understood, by the majority of people, all the religions are going to become obsolete.
You'll be amazed how simple, the ideas those book carry, actually are. Neither The Holy Inquisition nor the huge temples or complex hierarchy of the church (Vatican's for example) has anything to do with them. You won't find any conflicts between the religions either, for what they do is they simply try to make us better persons and help us interact with each other in more productive way.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Jesus
Think of this in the sense of the Holy Inquisition for example.
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." Buddha
Or that, in the sense of all religious doctrines and how absurd is, after reading that sentence, to wait for Vatican interpretation over certain question (like abortion or whatever).
In the end all the morality comes to understanding and realizing your actions, others and yourself, thus the theme of compassion (for compassion is understanding) is so commonly found in all religions.
"So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." Jesus
It's really not about whether you will do something or not (i.e. commit murder), but realizing your actions and what they cause. Putting yourself in the position of others (mostly the one suffering most) is the easiest way.
Next time you are reading any religious book, don't hate it for the bad name few arrogant institutions make of it. Think about the quotation of Buddha (which is common in all religions i.e. God telling Abraham to kill his son – Bible ) and try to find the things that rely to your own life and understandings , seek that simple ideas which can enchant your thinking and will make you more rational, for yourself and for all others.
The idea behind flower of life symbol
In geometry a point is considered 0 dimensional object. It doesn't have volume, area, length or other higher dimensional analogue. Then we have a line, again it's consisting of infinite points. And a square which we can say consist of infinite lines and cube which exist of infinite squares. The cube has volume, area, length and so on.
Now it turns out that we`ve created something of value out of nothing, mathematically. And math says if you take no matter how infinite number and multiply it by 0 , that would equal 0 still.
A point in my view, should be that closest thing to nothing. No matter how much you zoom it, it still remains just as small (which doesn't make it nothing). An atom is mostly empty space but let's not forget we all are atoms.
The problem I see is that nowadays science is still too deterministic, in their approach to explain the world. Instead I think we should be looking at patterns to explain the world. Whether they would be the duality/balance force, the flower of life, Fibonacci numbers and so on. As things in life repeat themselves throughout different scales(which is another pattern), if we manage to conclude something without an error about ANYTHIGN then we would be able to explain everything else with the same conclusion.
To put it simple if we try to determine things the way science does still to today, no matter how technologically advanced we are , no matter how small things we can notice (quarks) or how far into the universe we can see, how far back in time we can calculate how things were or how they would be after billions of years ahead, we would still hit dead end. That is because the approach is wrong, we are not looking for simple patterns that would provide us with simple and yet ultimate answers for the universe. We are far beyond the technological level required to be in order to test those patterns on different scales, in different time, locations and so on.
It's not a coincidence Einstein had problems at school with the deterministic approach of science. Unlike the science community I can't accept the "fact" that the universe is expanding before I find what is collapsing to allow this expansion. In buddhist perspectives you can find and understand the whole life in a flower, that is because it contains the same patterns that exist in the rest of the universe, that's why the flower of life symbol is a simple pattern. You don`t need complexity to explain the world but simplicity. The most genius ideas in the world are simple, just like the falling apple Newton observed, it doesn't take complex calculations and equipment to figure out gravity, but a proper approach.

Has anyone had areolar incision? 1 week to surgery...
- miss kt
- 2 years ago
I am having surgery next Monday and due to the fact that I am going for a slight lift as well, I am going with silicone implants with areolar incision. I am wondering if anyone has experience with this? So nervous! Should I expect chest pain or a heavy feeling in my chest after? I know I am going to be freaking out when I wake up and my breast feel huge from being swollen and hard- as I've read happens. Any suggestions to staying calm besides xanax?
Comments (2)
Hi there!
Here's what some doctors have to say about an areolar incision done with a lift and implant. Might give you some useful info. I think you can count on some discomfort and heaviness post-op, but it shouldn't last long. To calm yourself, do as much research as you can by reading through other lady's reviews here on RealSelf. And then, once you've taken in all the info you can handle, try to distract yourself as much as possible. You can make it through this. :O)

Sasha vs. Q-tips [symphonicotter]
Here's a new EP to be obsessed with, if you're into that sort of thing.

Bill Murray on Gilda Radner:
"Gilda got married and went away. None of us saw her anymore. There was one good thing: Laraine had a party one night, a great party at her house. And I ended up being the disk jockey. She just had forty-fives, and not that many, so you really had to work the music end of it. There was a collection of like the funniest people in the world at this party. Somehow Sam Kinison sticks in my brain. The whole Monty Python group was there, most of us from the show, a lot of other funny people, and Gilda. Gilda showed up and she'd already had cancer and gone into remission and then had it again, I guess. Anyway she was slim. We hadn't seen her in a long time. And she started doing, "I've got to go," and she was just going to leave, and I was like, "Going to leave?" It felt like she was going to really leave forever.
So we started carrying her around, in a way that we could only do with her. We carried her up and down the stairs, around the house, repeatedly, for a long time, until I was exhausted. Then Danny did it for a while. Then I did it again. We just kept carrying her; we did it in teams. We kept carrying her around, but like upside down, every which way—over your shoulder and under your arm, carrying her like luggage. And that went on for more than an hour—maybe an hour and a half—just carrying her around and saying, "She's leaving! This could be it! Now come on, this could be the last time we see her. Gilda's leaving, and remember that she was very sick—hello?"
We worked all aspects of it, but it started with just, "She's leaving, I don't know if you've said good-bye to her." And we said good-bye to the same people ten, twenty times, you know.
And because these people were really funny, every person we'd drag her up to would just do like five minutes on her, with Gilda upside down in this sort of tortured position, which she absolutely loved. She was laughing so hard we could have lost her right then and there.
It was just one of the best parties I've ever been to in my life. I'll always remember it. It was the last time I saw her."
- from Live from New York: an Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live
"Mumble, mumble, hey, mumble, girl, blah blah blah, honey."
I was sitting at the gas station ignoring a car full of men parked to my left. As is my habit, my skirt was pretty short and I figured that whatever was coming out of their mouths wasn't worth hearing, because the way they looked at me when I exited the gas station was enough to make me wish I was wearing a burqa.
Moments later, my ex-husband pulls up next to me to retrieve our spawn in our bi-weekly spawn trade. I am forced to expose my whole self to these men again as I exit the car to get the spawn supplies from the trunk.
"Hey man! Hey!" yells the idiot they've deemed worthy to drive their idiot-mobile around. "You better MARRY that woman FAST because that is a GOOD LOOKIN' woman."
I immediately snort really loudly because HAHAHA, OVER MY DEAD BODY. I mean we tried that once and I know exactly how that works out. So the concept of purposefully entering a union with this man again is an absolute no go, and the fact that these men have no idea that both of us probably just vommed in our mouths at least a tablespoonful at the notion is SO snort worthy. So yeah. I snorted so hard I think I hurt my nose a little bit and there are probably some motherfuckers somewhere out there who would like to fine me.
The Idiot Driver pulls his car around behind my car so he can continue pretending that I'm invisible while he shouts at my Ex. The Ex says, "Ha, no thanks, sir. We already tried that once."
"WUT! DID YOU HEAR THAT? Did you HEAR what he said?" Idiot driver exclaims with glee to his idiot car mates. "Oh my god, he said he already tried that!" And then there was much guffawing. I admired Idiot Driver's concern for his companions' auditory capabilities. He really wanted to be sure that Tweedles Dum and Dee (or Tweedles SEXIST and RUDE) didn't miss out on hearing what he considered to be the funniest and most delightful thing that one grown man has ever said to another. Meanwhile, I just stand there and pretend to be a teapot because I'm already being objectified so I want to look the part. I mean, I don't get a say in any of this, I'm just here for the marryin'!!
Just as I'm tipping myself over to pour myself out, Idiot Driver presses on. "But my MAN. You know you still want that woman. You KNOW you ain't never EVER gonna find you another woman like that!"
"Oh, yes. I know that," the Ex says with an uncomfortable smile and a look of intense relief in his eyes.
"Yeah you KNOW what I'm saying!" Idiot Driver exclaims triumphantly. He is super stoked that his conspiratorial comrade sees my worth, which is based solely on either my physical appearance, my snorting abilities, or my spot-on impersonation of a teapot because I haven't said a word yet. Idiot Driver turns to his hearing-impaired buddies and shouts, "He knows what I'm saying!"
I, on the other hand, know that my dear Ex is NOT being complimentary about my wonderful and unique never-gonna-find-it-anywhere-else personality, because that's EXACTLY what he's counting on not finding again, and EXACTLY why he married a girl from church this time around.
I bust out of teapot mode and hug my little spawn and send them on their way. Captain Idiot and his companions ride away into the sunset, laughing happily because they've made a new friend at the gas station who agrees that "good lookin" women are here for the marryin' and that's about all they're good for.
I hop in the car and drive back to Charleston, the city I moved to, on a whim, because I felt like it, because I'm a tough independent lady and I do whatever I want to when I decide to do it. I don't just sit around steaming and shouting.
Fuck. I'm thirty-one.
I'm not sure if I was supposed to have been successful at this point in my life, but I suspect not. Every 30-something I know seems to be in the middle of "figuring it out" because we sure as shit didn't do it in college or with that first relationship or career. Sometimes this comforts me, but at other times I think I'm part of a large herd of aimless fuck-ups.
So far in life, I've fulfilled at least a few of my long-terms goals, and, hey, THAT'S something, right?
1. I have always dreamed of making my way to the top of a career and earning a great salary and then freaking out and quitting my job. Done, son! I can only hope that this accomplishment ensures that I never have to use Microsoft Outlook again or do all the work for an egotistical piece of shit that is paid three times more than I am!
2. I became a divorcee at the tender age of 27. I get extra points for this one, because it was completed waaaaay ahead of schedule. Now I get to empathize with all you LATE BLOOMERS who are finally doing it, and revel in the bareness of my ring finger.
3. I made tiny miniature me's that are way cooler than me or you or anyone else. Not to shove my kids in your face on the internet or anything (who does that?) but if you think your's or your sister's or your best friend's kids are better than mine, come and GET SOME because they aren't. I don't know where they got it from but they are incredibly good-looking, smart, funny, and sassy as balls. Something about dna/genetics.
4. I decided in the space of about 2 weeks to leave the city I had lived in for 8 years because WHY NOT? If you haven't done anything lately that sort of scares you shitless, leaves you awake at night, and makes you wonder about the meaning of your life, try uprooting the WHOLE THING! Pack it up and move on out! DON'T FIND A JOB FIRST. Leave that for later. It makes it all the more exciting!
5. I have never been arrested. Just handcuffed, you guys, and not in a sexual way!
6. I vacuumed out my car today, wrote a Facebook post about it, and spelled 'vacuumed' correctly. This one may not SEEM like a long term goal, but in reality, making sure your spelling skills are up to scratch should be a lifelong goal, you guys, and I bet (I just BET) that it's been a shamefully long time since you've vacuumed out YOUR car, so I'm counting this one today, because it made me feel like a responsible adult in this new world where I wait tables, sleep till 11 on a lot of days, and only have a vague life plan worked out.
For year 31 I have big plans. Having patted myself on the back for all of ^^ these accomplishments, I'll be moving on to equally challenging things like making sure that I still haven't been arrested by the time I'm 32.
Ugh. 32. I just threw up in my mouth a little. This shit is getting real.
After listening to "Serpentine" 18 times in a row i've decided to propose to Chris Bathgate.

"That's how it goes. Designing clothes. Cats on everything, cats on everything."
(Source: Spotify)
Last week THREE people told me they thought I was only 22 or 23.
BAM, there go those ASIAN genes, y'all. I'm on my fourth decade!
My favorite conversation was this one:
Dude: Wait, wait, what? You have a kid?
Me: I've got two. They're 9 and 6.
Dude: TWO? NINE? (I forget what we're talking about now and I'm trying to think of why we're just saying numbers to each other, and then thinking about which numbers I'm going to say next.)
Me: Yup. So, back to the topic at hand: selling my house. We were talking about me selling my house.
Dude: You OWN a HOME?
Me: Yes. I own a home. I have two kids. I'm divorced. I've already lived the American dream and had it all. I hope to start working on my second sure to fail marriage soon.
Dude: Oh. Kay. *Turns away from me at the bar*
I mean sure, the conversation ended in biting sarcasm, but I took it in stride because I LOOK 23 YOU GUYS!
But then a few days later my Azn mom brought me back down to earth by doing what Azn moms do REALLY well.
Here's me and my Azn mom:
They tell you you're fat. Even if you are not, by any normal American (or health) standards, fat.
I'm driving to Charleston after a rough week. Mother calls to check on me.
Ma: How are you?
Me: Good. I'm good. I've been, you know, just doing things for myself. Going to the gym a lot.
Ma (reminiscing of fonder days): Oooh, remember when you were in high school and you were REALLY skinny and went to modeling school? Remember that?!?
Me: YEP. I was 14. I remember it, even though it was SIXTEEN YEARS AGO.
Ma: Welll, if you lose a LOT of weight, I will buy you some new clothes. REALLY EXPENSIVE clothes (said as if she were dangling a carrot—no wait, a celery stick—in front of me and I was supposed to jump for it).
Me: Oh. Thanks?
And then I let it go, because I've learned that that is the best way to deal with it.
So, in sum, the Azn side of me makes 'Mericans think I look really young, but the "Merican side of me makes the entire population of Korea think I'm obese (I've been to Seoul. I SAW the looks).
You win some, you lose some.
In related news, I've decided to just move to Canada.

Pros: easy to clean
Cons: none

Can't get enough of that chicken squeak
posted 6 years ago
This toy holds up really well, has a fun shape, bounces unpredictably for lots of fun chase games, and makes a funny sound that my dog loves. Only problem is that if you step on it or squeeze it hard (like my dog is prone to do) it makes a bit of an ear-piercing squeal.
Pros: very durable
Cons: loud!

A quote from a "pro union" article"That is an absolute lie, says Thompson. We did not refuse to go to work. We just wanted to exercise Cablevision's open door policy, and we said once we were able to get five minutes of their time that we would go back to work.Lets break this down logically. ( for fun, imagine your teenager justifying some action or inaction, using this typical method)"We did not refuse to go to work. We just.........." There are 2 sentences. The first. A statement."We did not refuse to go to work." Look at this closely. What does it mean? To me it means they state they did not refuse to go to work after being asked.Now the second, albeit incomplete sentence in this breakdown. "We just...." The next word "wanted" is a contradiction in itself. It directly indicates they did not perform the prior stated action. What the action listed here should have been is "...went to work" . Anything other than went to work written after the word "just" directly shows that they did not go back to work.
Cablevision is notoriously anti-union, and losing the election in Brooklyn deeply emabarresed the owners, the Dolans.Thats why they gave raises to other cablevison employees and not to the ones in Brooklyn.Its my belief they dont want to ever settle a contract, other then a crappy contract that gives Brooklyn cable employees LESS then the non union counterparts, just to teach everyone a lesson.

7NEWS takes viewers inside "Shoot, Don't Shoot" simulator used by police officers
Officers face split-second decisions
DENVER - They are life changing decisions that have incredible consequences. Police officers have to make them sometimes daily -- shoot or don't shoot.
"Imagine the most stressful day you've ever had and then multiply that by a million," said Todd Brown, a vice president at Ti Training in Golden.
The company develops simulators used by police departments across the country to train officers on what to do in situations when they may have to use deadly force.
The simulators feature real-life scenarios that an officer can encounter on any given day. Brown said officers have to practice vigilance every time they encounter someone.
"Every time a police officer makes contact with somebody they don't know that person," Brown said. "So in everything they do, they err on the side of safety."
Often officers will have to make decisions in environments that are unfamiliar. This is one reason Brown said it is important officers go through training and get used to making split-second decisions.
"It gives them an opportunity to make a mistake, if a mistake is going to be made, in an environment where nobody gets hurt," he said.
Take a look at our video report and get an inside glimpse of what officers face.
"Even as much as we can compress the time frames in simulations, in the real world things happen even faster," Brown said.

White supremacy has taught him that all people of color are threats irrespective of their behavior.
Capitalism has taught him that, at all costs, his property can and must be protected.
Patriarchy has taught him that his masculinity has to be proved by the willingness to conquer fear through aggression; that it would be unmanly to ask questions before taking action.
Mass media then brings us the news of this in a newspeak manner that sounds almost jocular and celebratory, as though no tragedy has happened, as though the sacrifice of a young life was necessary to uphold property values and white patriarchal honor.
Viewers are encouraged to feel sympathy for the white male home owner who made a mistake. The fact that this mistake led to the violent death of an innocent young man does not register; the narrative is worded in a manner that encourages viewers to identify with the one who made the mistake by doing what we are led to feel we might all do to "protect our property at all costs from any sense of perceived threat."
This is what the worship of death looks like.
Y. That perfect letter. The wishbone, fork in the road, empty wineglass. The question we ask over and over.

Summer has ended, and traders returned from vacations, meaning that trading activity should start picking up. The first trading week of autumn surprised market participants with two shocks: European Central Bank policy announcement and US employment data. What traders can expect from the second week? Let us look at the US dollar and its potential moves against other major currencies.
Forex Forecast
Currency movements may seem chaotic, but the inner structure of these fluctuations has its own laws. Fundamental factors, macroeconomic situation, political decisions, global events — they
all offer a steady ground for analysis and subsequent prediction of the future Forex rates. The articles in this category are all dedicated to foreign exchange forecast. They present market sentiment and research regarding the recently active major and exotic world currencies. If you are up to currency trading, these forecast may be considered as a useful resource of ideas for your long-term FX trading.
Can Dollar Maintain Rally Over Next Week?
September 07th, 2014 at 22:22
Forex Forecast , US Dollar
Short-Term Forecast for UK Pound Ahead of BoE Meeting
July 08th, 2014 at 2:13
Forex Forecast , Great Britain Pound
The Great Britain pound has been a remarkable performer on the Forex market recently but lost its upward momentum during the end of the last week. Will the currency be able to resume its thrust to the upside or the period of strength has come to an end?
Outlook for USD During Week of NFP & Independence Day
June 30th, 2014 at 18:37
Forex Forecast , US Dollar
The US dollar experienced a very poor trading month in June due to unexpected dovishness of US policy makers and terrible GDP report. Can the greenback change the bearish trend in the first trading week of the new month?
Week That Should Be Important for British Currency
May 19th, 2014 at 19:23
Forex Forecast , Great Britain Pound
The Great Britain pound experienced weakness last week, faltering after an impressive rally versus the US dollar. This week is full of important events and may determine the performance of the sterling in the near future.
Forecast: ECB Made Things Difficult for Euro
May 12th, 2014 at 18:44
Forex Forecast , Euro
The euro experienced tremendous weakness recently due to the negative surprise from the European Central Bank. Can the shared European currency overcome the bearish impact of the ECB announcement or it will continue to move lower?
Dollar Outlook: Analysts Expect Week of Calm After Week of Strength
March 24th, 2014 at 18:26
Forex Forecast , US Dollar
The US dollar demonstrated a nice rally last week with help of the policy statement of the Federal Reserve. Is it possible for the greenback to extend its rally this week as well?
Can Dollar Turn Bearish Trend into Bullish?
March 17th, 2014 at 19:41
Forex Forecast , US Dollar
The US dollar did not fare well last week as Forex traders demonstrated appetite for risky currencies despite worrisome news from China and Ukraine. Can the greenback turn the bearish trend into bullish this week? Possibly.
Yen Ahead of BoJ, More Weakness Expected
March 10th, 2014 at 19:30
Forex Forecast , Japanese Yen
The Japanese yen was extremely weak last week. The market sentiment was favorable to the currency initially, but it sharply turned negative for the yen after the European Central Bank refrained from additional stimulus and was relatively optimistic about the future of the European economy. The better-than expected US non-farm payrolls did not help the Japanese currency either. But what about this week?
Another Week of Weakness for Sterling?
February 25th, 2014 at 2:25
Forex Forecast , Great Britain Pound
The Great Britain pound for a long time has been one of the top performers on the Forex market, but last week it became a loser. Will the currency continue to lose this week or the last week's drop was just a short-lived correction?
This Week Can Determine Future of Sterling
February 10th, 2014 at 21:45
Forex Forecast , Great Britain Pound
The Great Britain pound was not performing particularly well this year, trading in a range, but with a downside bias. Last week, the currency started with a loss, but managed to bounce by the weekend, closing flat. This week may be very important in deciding the future of sterling.

I am not a sociology major and have never taken a sociology class in high school or college. However as I was reading through this book it gave me a few inspired connections from other courses and real life experiences.
"In the nineteenth century Russia the czars encouraged pogroms and other extreme measures to force the Jews to convert to Christianity, to emigrate, or to die. During the 1930s, Hitler began the program of increasing harassment of the Jews, designed in part to get them to emigrate. Such harassment, especially when linked with a deliberate policy of putting pressure on a group to emigrate, seems less like voluntary emigration than it does mass expulsion." p 31
Hitler had the idea of Jew free areas, believing that he had the right to decide with who he could share the world with. He attempted to exterminate the existence of an entire people, which after the fact was labelled as a crime against humanity, the first time that term was used.
"Many Jews succeeded in both production and distribution, and Jewish actors became acceptable to the public by adopting English names" p 120
It's sad that a population was so biased that minority populations had to conform to their racism in order to be successful in their society. They had to hide their identity, especially in light of the recent Holocaust.
"'Hansen's law' has been known to social historians for over four decades. It states that the second generation tries to escape its ethnicity while the third attempts to bring it back."p 182
When the second generation tries to assimilate, they quash many of their cultural traditions and rituals, and also teach their children that English is the most important language to speak. Often they don't teach their kids their native language, and so the third generation reaches out to re embrace their historical traditions and have a sense of self, as people are constantly referring to them as different visually, but they can't account for it culturally. They are in no man inbetween land.
"One effect of ethnocentrism is to promote solidarity within the group. At the same time that it enhances group unity, however, ethnocentrism may promote hostility toward out-groups, especially when feelings of contempt are strong. Thus the stronger the ethnocentrism the greater the potential for conflict." p 49-50
The Third Reich of Germany used this German pride to unite Germans against a common rival, the Jews. They enhanced hostility towards the Jews with racist propaganda that spread lies. This mentality is also responsible for gang wars throughout the US.
"Groups that receive only limited attention are the aging, the handicapped, and deviant groups, partly because they have not been studied much as minorities and partly for lack of space." p xi
It makes sense that researchers and grant writers are biased away from studying criminals and drug addicts, though that research would be immensely helpful to our society.
