Here's what one of our members thinks of her bagA big thank you for the two Lovereading bags I ordered, which have arrived safely. I love mine and will use it with pride. The bags are lovely quality, sturdy and support a good cause in the Rewrap initiative; I think they make the perfect accessory for any book lover. The second bag was a gift for my sister and she says she will take it to her next book group meeting to help spread the Lovereading word. Once again, many thanks. Emily Wright
With the family finances in a parlous state, Colonel de Luce has, with deep misgivings, rented Buckshaw to a film company for a location shooting. Naturally enough, director, crew and stars do nothing to endear themselves to the household - especially the servants - until, when a heavy snowfall cuts off Bishop's Lacey from the rest of the world, the actors are talked into staging a benefit performance in the parish hall. But old jealousies surface, and the leading lady is murdered. Flavia, who has been enlisted to help out behind the scenes, finds herself up to her knees in snow - and murder!
'What makes this work is a deftly crafted plot, crisp dialogue, and an unusual - but nonetheless believable - main character.' MYSTERY SCENE
'I cannot think of a happier choice of gift either for a bright ten-year-old or for someone now grown up or even old who remembers the magic of those books that freed us from the ordinary world of adults and school to take absurd and glorious risks in the pursuit of truth.' REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE.COM
Alan Bradley was our Guest Editor in March 2012 - click here - to see the books that inspired his writing.
Alan Bradley was born in Toronto and grew up in Cobourg, Ontario. With an education in electronic engineering, Alan worked at numerous radio and television stations in Ontario, and at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (now Ryerson University) in Toronto, before becoming Director of Television Engineering in the media centre at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK, where he remained for 25 years before taking early retirement to write in 1994.
He became the first President of the Saskatoon Writers, and a founding member of the Saskatchewan Writers Guild. His children's stories were published in The Canadian Children's Annual, and his short story, Meet Miss Mullen, was the first recipient of the Saskatchewan Writers Guild Award for Children's Literature.
For a number of years, he regularly taught Script Writing and Television Production courses at the University of Saskatchewan (Extension Division) at both beginner and advanced levels.His fiction has been published in literary journals and he has given many public readings in schools and galleries. His short stories have been broadcast by CBC Radio.
He was a founding member of The Casebook of Saskatoon, a society devoted to the study of Sherlock Holmes and Sherlockian writings. Here, he met the late Dr. William A.S. Sarjeant, with whom he collaborated on their classic book, Ms Holmes of Baker Street. This work put forth the startling theory that the Great Detective was a woman, and was greeted upon publication with what has been described as "a firestorm of controversy".
The release of Ms. Holmes resulted in national media coverage, with the authors embarking upon an extensive series of interviews, radio and television appearances, and a public debate at Toronto's Harbourfront. His lifestyle and humorous pieces have appeared in The Globe and Mail and The National Post.
His book The Shoebox Bible (McClelland and Stewart, 2006) has been compared with Tuesdays With Morrie and Mr. God, This is Anna. In July of 2007 he won the Debut Dagger Award of the (British) Crimewriter's Association for his novel The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, the first of a series featuring eleven year old Flavia de Luce.
Alan Bradley lives in Malta, with his wife Shirley and two calculating cats.

Our Cosmic Home Study Guide (page 2)
Look out into the sky at night. That's right–look out, not just up. Because when you look at the sparkling stars, you are gazing out across vast distances of space and time. You see light from stars that has taken tens, hundreds, even tens of thousands of years to reach your eyes. That's how vast space is, And one of the major, remarkable findings of astronomy is that the universe is expanding and has been expanding ever since it began with what is called the Big Bang.
Expanding Universe
Here is the outline of the events that occurred in the birth of our universe (see Figure 1.1).
- The Big Bang occurred about 13.7 billion years ago (with an uncertainty of a few hundred million years).
- Time: Between the Big Bang and the one second mark. Temperature: Many billions of degrees above absolute zero. Event: Matter and antimatter nearly annihilated each other, leaving a small amount of residual matter.
- Time: One second after the Big Bang. Temperature: About 1 billion degrees above absolute zero. Event: Protons, neutrons, and electrons exist as stable particles, or what physicists call subatomic particles, because they are basic constituents of atoms.
- Time: 300,000 years after the Big Bang. Temperature: 3,000° above absolute zero (close to the surface temperature of our sun). Event: Atoms are born. This happened because the universe cooled enough for electrons to remain bound to nuclei of protons and neutrons. At this point, matter consisted of 76% hydrogen and 24% helium (with a trace of lithium). No other elements existed.
- Time: Millions of years to a billion years after the Big Bang. Temperature: Much cooler. Event: First stars and galaxies are born. Other elements are created in the nuclear furnaces of stars.
- Time: Today. Temperature: About 3 degrees above absolute zero (2.7 degrees Kelvin, in which a unit of temperature on the Kelvin scale is the same as a °C, a degree Centigrade or Celsius, except rather than the zero point references to the freezing temperature of water, zero Kelvin is absolute zero, about –476 degrees Fahrenheit).
Note this is only the average temperature. Event: We are here to discover this story.
Red Shifts
Visible light consists of a mix of wavelengths. Wavelength determines the color of light. Red light has longer wavelengths than green light has, for example. Green light has longer wavelengths than blue light. Study the diagram in Figure 1.2, which shows the spectrum of different wavelengths.
What we call visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which consists of all waves that are both electric and magnetic. Note the relative sizes of the wavelengths and the fact that some wavelengths are too long for our eyes to see (infrared), whereas other wavelengths are too short (ultraviolet).
All elements glow at particular wavelengths. Light that we normally see is a mixture of thousands and thousands of specific wavelengths. Scientists can examine light in great detail and see specific patterns of wavelengths, revealing specific elements that emitted the wavelengths. Thus, elements in space can be measured by the wavelengths that they emit. Furthermore, as light passes through gases that contain particular elements, the elements in the gases also absorb wavelengths in specific patterns. Thus, patterns of both emissions and absorptions can provide astronomers with information about the elements in outer space. When light from galaxies is examined, an interesting pattern is discovered. Study the diagrams in Figure 1.3.
The top figure shows some of the locations of wavelengths of light given off by calcium on Earth. Note that they occur in a particular location and pattern on the spectrum. The bottom figure shows that in light from a distant galaxy, the characteristic pattern of calcium occurs at longer wavelengths. The calcium pattern has been shifted toward the red. This is the famous red shift.
The shift toward the red in the patterns of wavelengths that are characteristic of specific elements could occur only if the galaxies are moving away from the earth. As the galaxies move away, the light from them is stretched by the motion. (If the galaxies were moving toward us, the shift in the wavelengths of the patterns would have been toward the blue, which is not observed.)
The red shift is the primary evidence for the expanding universe. By extrapolating the expansion back in time, astronomers have concluded that the expansion started with all matter concentrated in a very small point and a single explosive event known as the Big Bang. Many other kinds of evidence have confirmed this theory.
Question: If all galaxies are moving away from us, does that imply that we are at the center?
Answer: No, because inhabitants of any galaxy would also observe that they appear to be at the center. It's like raisins in an expanding raisin cake. To each raisin, all the others are moving away.
Galaxies and Stars
It is important to know that as we look out in space, we look back in time. That's because the speed of light, though fast, is finite. Light travels at 186 thousand miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second). The light from stars in our own galaxy, generated hundred of thousands of years ago, or from stars in other galaxies, generated billions of years ago, is just now reaching us. Study the diagrams in Figure 1.4 and see how the term light-year is an astronomical unit of distance.
The figure shows that light from the sun needs to travel 93 million miles to reach Earth, and this takes the light 8.3 minutes. Thus, we see the sun as it was 8.3 minutes ago. We simply cannot see the sun as it is right now, because it takes time for the light to travel. This has important implications when we look at stars and galaxies. The other portion of the figure shows light reaching the eye of an observer from a star that is 252 trillion miles away. (Many stars that you see are this far, and many are much farther.) Light take 43 years to make the journey from star to eye. Thus, the star is 43 light-years away. If the star were to explode today, we would not know it for 43 years!
A light-year is nearly 6 trillion miles of distance (5.86 trillion miles, which is 9.4 trillion kilometers). When we start to look at galaxies, this "looking back in time" gets really serious. For example, the nearest large galaxy that is similar to our own Milky Way galaxy is Andromeda, and it is 2 million light-years away. Today, we see the light that it emitted 2 million years ago, during a time when the ancestors of humans were just making the first crude stone tools in Africa.
Many galaxies were formed in the first billion years or so after the Big Bang, as clumps of matter floating in space condensed under the attractive power of gravity. Galaxies are cities of stars. Just as gravity made the galaxies, gravity also made the stars within the galaxies. Stars are created when gas clouds in space condense, pulled together by gravity. During the condensation, the gas becomes hotter and hotter. If the density and temperature are high enough, the protostar ignites and is sustained as a glowing star by nuclear fusion. New stars are being formed all the time. Astronomers today have found regions of star births. Stars also die (see the next section). Our own galaxy is called the Milky Way (see Figure 1.5).
Our Milky Way galaxy contains about 400 billion stars, an incredible number. It is shaped somewhat like two dinner plates put together face to face, with a bulge in the middle, and within the bulge, a zone exists that is extremely rich with stars. From above, these appear as giant spiral arms. Astronomers have also found evidence for a massive black hole in the center. Black holes occur when matter has contracted to such a high density that even light cannot escape. We know black holes by certain effects they have on radiation in the space around them. Note that our sun is located about three fifths away from the center of the galaxy.

People spend a lot of time, money and effort to get a title after their name. Masters, doctorates and other post-graduate programs are in high demand. The appeal is understandable. Titles such as Doctor, Professor and a host of others provide opportunities to better ourselves and our circumstances. They also demonstrate to others that the person has some extra knowledge and training that can benefit them or their child. There was one who had the highest of all titles already at his birth.

Stepping into the offices of Clifford Chance is always a slightly unnerving affair. The Gotham City-style structure seems to have been built with the sole purpose of intimidating anyone who enters the studiously mute interior.
But lately there is something else that seems to be permeating the corridors of 200 Aldersgate Street. The slightly prickly air appears to be charged with an atmosphere that is at once both sinister and guarded.
However, within minutes of sitting down with Stuart Popham, global head of finance and the newly-elected senior partner, it soon becomes clear what is causing this distinct feeling of unease. Clifford Chance has become, dare it be said, the New Labour of law.
Peter Cornell, managing partner at the firm, already set the tone for the new phase in Clifford Chance's expansion when, prior to his election in April last year, he rammed home the message of 'giving the partnership back to the partners'.
Since then Cornell has spoken of making sure "the lines of communication are right". For underneath this Blairite-type lingo another message had emerged: communication had become a problem at Clifford Chance.
As the partnership had grown - namely through the tripartite merger with US firm Rogers & Wells and German firm Pünder Volhard Weber & Axster - those 'lines of communication' had been crumpled by the sheer weight of new lawyers.
There had also been a significant passage of time in which Clifford Chance was without a senior partner. After Keith Clark decided to step down early, chief executive Michael Bray filled the role in the meantime. Bray, too, relinquished his position early and Cornell became chief executive (he is now the firm's managing partner since this year's governance review); so for a while it has been a one-man show.
Cornell is now attempting to wrest control of the 'communication' issue. Beneath Cornell's touchy-feely exterior, he has already decided how he wants to give the partnership back to the partners; and in his quest for control, it is doubtful that he will be easily swayed from this strategy.
How Popham will work as senior partner within Cornell's vision will be interesting. It is not quite clear how he will respond to Cornell's Blairite instinct for centralisation.
This is compounded by the fact that the Popham I encounter seems to be at odds with the man I have met in the past.
Not that the imminent trappings of power have already begun to affect him (Popham officially steps into the senior partner role on 1 January next year). In fact, it is doubtful it ever will go to the head of this resolutely down-to-earth lawyer.
Rather more noticeable is Popham's distinct nervousness. Could it be that he is mindful of Cornell's preoccupation with 'communication'?
Certainly, throughout the interview Popham constantly and disconcertedly flicks his eyes towards the requisite PR man nearly every time he answers a question, almost as if to check if what he is saying is okay.
In fairness, Popham does admit to a feeling of trepidation at the new job. "Trepidation only in the sense of the enormity of the task," he says. "You go from the euphoria of winning - and that's only natural - to thinking that this is a big job.
"It's a bit like any job I've taken on in the firm, either an internal job or acting for a large client. I think it would only be natural to have the occasional butterfly in the stomach or moment of contemplation."
It would be surprising, however, if the uncomfortable tickle of nerves is being aggravated by the prospect of the external responsibilities that the senior partner role encompasses. After all, Popham's considerable charm is only surpassed by his ambassadorial flair.
It is also worth remembering that, as global head of finance, Popham helped smooth the merger of Clifford Chance's worldwide finance practice, which entailed him spending the best part of two years flying around the world to every corner of the firm's network.
No, the challenge now for Popham will be the internal workings of Clifford Chance. Following the corporate governance review in June this year, the firm reverted back to tradition. The executive became the management committee and the board became the partnership council. Cornell sits at the head of the management committee, which deals with the day-to-day running of the firm, while Popham sits at the head of the partnership council, which acts as the firm's conscience.
Asking Popham whether he dreads the idea of conflicts arising between the two committees draws an emphatic "no". "You have to ascertain if there's a difference of opinion, if there's a sense that something has gone wrong; and you have to work out how you might otherwise approach it," he says. "I'm unlikely to take my jacket off and roll my sleeves up to try and resolve it."
In fact, Popham seems to agree so readily with Cornell's preoccupation with communication that it seems difficult to imagine what would happen if a disagreement ever arose between the two.
Here is an example of their kinship (and remember Cornell's 'giving the partnership back to the partners' mantra and the 'lines of communication' thing). "It's critically important to me that partners are being included in the business, feel part of the business and are owners of the business," says Popham. "They're very busy people, so you have to find ways of making sure of finding a way that you can do it equally."
The way Popham says all this, you cannot help but believe that he genuinely means it. But it all seems to fit very nicely with what Cornell thinks - it almost feels as if Popham is constrained from saying anything too radical.
And while radicalism may not be the job of the senior partner, Popham appears to be making sure that he stays well within the party line, lest he deviate from Cornell's vision.
Although he is also keen to emphasise that he can be tough if he needs to be on issues such as underperforming partners. "It seems to be part of the senior partner's job, but it's also part of the role to help partners perform at their best," he says. "There will be occasions over a 30 or 40-year career where people will hit a fallow period. All of us have probably had that."
But he is eager to point out that partners in this situation will be helped, and because he likes advising people, this was one of the main reasons that he wanted the senior partner role in the first place.
Overall for Popham, Clifford Chance is now entering the next phase of its development. It is, of course, already the world's largest law firm, but now it wants to be the premier law firm as well.
One way of achieving this end will be through bolstering certain practice areas such as M&A and capital markets through lateral hires, as well as building up the litigation-heavy West Coast practice, although a merger does not seem to be on the horizon in the near future.
No, the next few years will be spent quietly growing and 'communicating' with all the partners and lawyers. As long as all the lawyers fit into Cornell's big tent, one presumes.

FALMOUTH (CBS) – While the greater Boston area got an inch or two of rain, Cape Cod got a lot more.
The heavy rain took its toll.
WBZ-TV's Bill Shields reports
More than four inches of rain fell in Falmouth.
That was enough to flood a number of roads and trap several drivers.
Most of the water had receded by Wednesday night and was not expected to remain a problem.

Professor Thomas J. Meyer, Department of Chemistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"Finding the Way to Solar Fuels"
Abstract - In principle, the sun should be our ultimate renewable energy source. However, it is a low intensity source and using it on the massive scales required to power the world's increasingly urban economies will require vast collection areas. It is also intermittent, requiring a vast energy storage capability to provide adequate power at night. The only practical solution at the required scale appears to be "Artificial Photosynthesis" with "solar fuels" as the product. Solar fuels are high energy molecules with energy stored in the chemical bonds of hydrogen from water splitting or from reduction of CO2 to CO, other oxygenates, or hydrocarbons.
The key elements in a successful solar fuel device are understood: light absorption, excited state electron transfer, vectorial electron/energy/proton transfer driven by free energy gradients, PCET activation of catalysis, rapid rates for key solar fuel half reactions, device design and scale-up. Dye Sensitized Photoelectrosynthesis Cells (DSPEC) offer a structural paradigm for the integration of these functions. As in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC), DSPECs are driven by interfacial light absorption and excited state electron or hole injection at the surfaces of oxide semiconductors. However, DSPECs aim to produce oxygen and a fuel in the separate cell compartments of a photoelectrochemical cell rather than a photopotential and photocurrent.
Key guiding principles to DSPECs are "keep it simple" and "let the molecules do the work". Molecules, clusters, and molecular assemblies are used to absorb light, carry out catalytic half reactions, etc. based on a "modular" approach. In this approach the separate components are evaluated separately and integrated into device configurations. Significant progress has been made in water oxidation and CO2 reduction catalysis and in integrating them in surface stabilized, interfacial structures. Application of transient absorption, photocurrent, and device measurements on the resulting assemblies on TiO2 and other high band gap semiconductors is revealing the underlying factors that control device efficiency and stability.
Success in visible water splitting was achieved recently in a DSPEC by exploiting atomic layer deposition (ALD) to prepare core-shell structures with nanoparticle, mesoporous films of the transparent conducting oxide, tin-doped indium oxide, coated by thin 2-4 nm films of TiO2. When photolyzed with visible light, core-shell structures derivatized by a chromophore-catalyst assembly resulted in water splitting with per photon absorbed efficiencies of 4-5%.

ALL MY SAD. RIP, weebee. :C
goddamn migraines the past week and a half. Leave my poor blood vessels in peace.
I think creepers are ugly >.<
*me scrolling through Livejournal*
hado: Whoa wait, what's that doll?
me: A…Pullip?
H: Well, I like it. It's neat.
m: It's basically a Blythe. You don't like them.
H: Yeah, but it has boobs.
Sewed the clamshell bag, glued sequins on one side. Once those dry I will sew the bead handle on, then sequin the reverse side. Trim glued onto straps; once they dry I can tack them to the top. I had a vicious migraine for the past 3-4 days and took a day off to whip up a bear for the bear display (photo coming soon, hoho) so haven't even touched the costume until today.
wanna sleep so bad… gotta watch this kid party show so I can FLIP MY SHIT if this kid actually gets a tattoo even though I know the commercial is a trick and they're just playing the sound to fuck with her while they airbrush it on.
todays RE-SET goals:
new top cut out *
new top assembled
install lining into tail
I tried scrubbing the top, ream-ripping the lining out and washing it, and just ended up with water-stains on the front, the glue starting to run around the sequins, and a general mess. I'm hoping I can still re-use the lining because LOL I had already trimmed the seam allowances before the fiasco. Due to staining on the fabric from my dryer (thanks, grease-marks) there were enough small pieces to re-cut the bodice, but I won't have enough for the bag/purse. And due to all this reconstruction I'm now almost out of thread and glue. Wishing me luck!
Ugh. So yesterday I got everything cut out. (pattern, pieces etc) Today I started constructing the top. NEVER SEW BEADED FABRIC OMFG what a pain in the ass. The needle jams, skips and generally pisses you off. Luckily it's just the overlay for the uhhh "shell" part of the top. Got the outside sewn and then gave up sewing the sequins because they too kept jamming so I GLUED ON THE REMAINDER OMG. Take that, Seminar. Lining is ready, now I just need to sew the 5 pieces of boning in- I'm assuming they go into the top itself and not into the lining? I can't tell from the pattern image and Simplicity is known for fubar-ing their instructions. Tomorrow's goal: sew in boning, lining-to-bodice, add straps and install zipper. Also to at least get the overlay of the tail basted in place and the tail-fin completed. Totally gonna cheat and glue the sequins on that too.
Thank goodness on Mon. the creme-de-la-creme wig arrived and it's GORGEOUS. GLW said they were making the base wig of the blends thinner and it definately is, but since my hair is short and shit anyway I may just wear that and not the falls. Still need to add "seaweed" and pearls and shit.
with money burning a hole in my paypal…
options include:
Kiss Me True (long silver hair, bangs) - on sale right now
Simply Peppermint (centre-part mint)
Urban Cowgirl (long side-part dark brown)
Bohemian Peace (long centre-part brown)
Sunshine Holiday (tan, light hair)
Heather Sky (tan, darker hair w/bangs) - would require more saving
I want a girl with long hair, but I also want a tan girl? Since I customize hair > everything, though usable stock pieces don't hurt. But the others are all discounted right now, and SH and HS pretty much never are so it doesn't matter when I buy them. HS = 2 x SH pricewise, ugh. Someone on BK had a KMT and her hair was just gorgeous, for a doll I hadn't paid much attention to before.

The Worst Month of the Year
I think that in the last 30 days or so, I have been seriously frustrated by some things that have gone on. I'm not really sure why this month seems to have sucked more than usual. Oh, wait. I know exactly why it sucked, but I don't really get why it all had to happen in one month.
First, there was the whole iTunes account hacked issue, leading to me getting charged for an app that I didn't purchase. I did get that taken care of, but I ended up having to delete my PayPal account (since it was the funding source and I felt like it might have also been compromised) and put a fraud alert on my credit report. I had to change all of my passwords everywhere, but apparently missed a few, as I would find out a few weeks later.
After the iTunes issue, my laptop decided to take a break. My external hard drive's enclosure was also on a break. The new enclosure came first, but I couldn't see if it still worked until the laptop came back. When it did come, I had to format the external hard drive's drive again. Now I'm working on getting everything back on the drive.
Meanwhile, I go to log-in on likesototally.me's WordPress and find that it has been hacked. I figured out what was hacked—the .htaccess. I decided to download files from it that I knew were safe and not located elsewhere before trashing everything else. The deletion finally got done last night. I changed the domain's username's password before I decided that I needed to change the username as well. So, that was fun.
In terms of non-tech related bad things, I had thought the disintegration of my extended family on my mom's side was the worst possible thing in the world that was going on, until we got a nice little letter from ALFA (our insurance agency) letting us know that we would be dropped from our homeowner's policy in February. Apparently, insuring us was "too risky" and wasn't worth continuing the (at least) 26 years of business with my family. Well, technically, they'll still be doing business with us because the life insurance policies for my dad and for me are under them, but my parents are planning on moving the car insurance when they find a new insurer.
I felt like it was my fault that the insurance got dropped. First of all, ALFA is the employer of certain members of my family that I am not really on speaking terms with and their position in the company is fairly high, so my first thought went to that ongoing crap. Even though they don't want to be around us, I figured out that they wouldn't do something that petty in order to punish me for talking about them on here.
After realizing that they were probably not behind the dropping of coverage, I thought that maybe my dad had decided not to pay the (staunchly conservative) PAC "contribution" when he paid the membership dues for the farm bureau. (You have to belong to the bureau in order to get insurance and it is requested that your membership payment include a "voluntary" contribution to the PAC.) But they say that you don't have to pay into the PAC, and I don't know if the company would really drop people because you choose not to contribute to it. Somehow, I'm not sure if that decision might keep us from being insured.
The other possibility is that because of the continuing issue with the grass, this house might be considered too unsightly for them to insure. Their standards are pretty high, and my mom suggested (at one point) that they may have been doing some of the reporting to the city about the grass and the stuff on the porch. Of course, that makes me even more paranoid. The idea that you can lose your insurance and get threatened with jail time because of grass and because of other random crap is just something that causes me intense anxiety.
And, as per the norm for me, I have felt worse lately. I've had bouts with dizziness, pain, fever, sinus crap, and (of course) the heavy period that came around for a week and a half, and is currently on hiatus again. And I got a call from my family doctor about wanting to do blood work, which is always torture for me, so that has me kind of apprehensive. Then, of course, there was the depression, mood swings, and generally nuttiness that I usually deal with and that usually gets worse this time of year. It's just been the rotten cherry on top of a melted sundae.
So, yeah, this past month has really, really sucked. I'm hoping that December will be better. I'm guessing that it won't, though. That's not me being pessimistic or anything. I'm being completely realistic. And realizing that the most joyous time of the year is probably going to be suck-filled is awful.
I Knew It!
Remember how two weeks ago I said that I knew that the idea that neighbors were turning us in to the Community Development people was completely nuts? I was right. One of our neighbors had to go to court today over their yard, too. Why would a neighbor who wants our yard cut end up having to go to court over their own yard? It really doesn't make sense.
I guess with that being the city's case that I could have gone to trial over my yard, but I was really sick of all the crap. I took a plea. The city attorney had the fine and court costs at minimum ($100 fine plus $224 in court costs) in the deal. I now have two weeks to get it done or I'll get a new citation. I can't appeal the plea because I said I was guilty and waived that right.
The fine probably would have been higher if the guy who came by yesterday had been our normal inspector. This other inspector actually talked to my dad, which they are supposed to do every time that they inspect a property. My dad told him that we didn't know what part of the yard was even in the complaint until two weeks ago. He also told him that we're on a fixed income, and that the guy who is supposed to cut it still hasn't gotten around to it. (He also told him that the person who cuts it is our next-door neighbor.)
My dad also talked to the inspector about previous citations, including one that we got back during the summer about indoor furniture being on the front porch. (The indoor furniture in question was an old kitchen chair and, according to this inspector, wasn't a violation of the city code.) The inspector asked why we hadn't called the Community Development office (we had) or written (we had) or why we hadn't tried to get everything taken care of before now (we had). I think by talking to my dad, the other inspector got a pretty good idea about the crap that has been going on. That inspector was in court today and helped make the sentence recommendation.
There was another thing that worked in our favor. My dad was using a cane today, because he's been having some back problems lately. Apparently, that helped illustrate the whole disabled factor.
Oh, and this time I didn't say anything rude or obscene to the city attorney. Actually, this time, I tried to be very quiet and only say very, very nice and respectful things. That seemed to give him the impression that I am a nice, together, respect-worthy fellow citizen, as opposed to the ignorant shrew that he seemed to think I was last time. So, yay.
Actually, everyone was nicer today. Maybe they're nicer during the autumn months? Maybe it was me. Maybe it was the weather. Who knows?

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the $3 million gift offered to UConn Wednesday by the Nayden Family was its challenge match to former UConn basketball players to contribute to the new center.
The Nayden gift comes in three parts; $1 million for Champions Center, $1 million in scholarships for student athletes and trainers in the School of Business or the physical therapy or kinesiology programs of the Neag School of Education, and the potential match of up to $1 million for gifts from players.
"It's a personal choice that the players have," Geno Auriemma said. "It not up to us to tell them [the players] that they should [give] or they are obligated. There are two schools of thought. They had a great opportunity afforded to them here [at UConn] to help them accomplish their goals. But they also put us on the map and made us [UConn] a lot of money."
UConn has 58 players (34 men and 24 women) who went on to play in the NBA and the WNBA.
"You wonder, at what point do they need to feel like they have to do more? Each individual needs to make that decision. Some are more naturally inclined to give. Others will say no if you ask them 100 times to give. .. But you look around the country and for some reason it [athletes giving back to their school] doesn't happen very often, no matter what league.
"The fact that Denis [Nayden] through it [the challenge] out there is good. But it shouldn't be just on the athletes either. We have 160,000 alumni in the state of Connecticut and something like 20 percent give back. So gets to enjoy what these athletes do? Those people [the alumni]. And if they want to keep enjoying they need to step up a little bit.
"It doesn't have to be $3 million. It could be $30 or $3 or $50 or whatever. At least you would be in the game, a part of the team."

Plot Summary: Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, "The Wolfman" brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar� winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Oscar� winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother... and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.
Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother's fianc�e, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate.
As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself... one he never imagined existed.

"Be in a band with everyone." Contribute to Guidebooks' SoundCloud Community Fellowship
This is a guest post by Guidebooks, a 2012 SoundCloud Community Fellow. They need your help! All you need to do is send them an original sound sample you wish could be reinvented into something magical.
Hey All! So… lots of great sounds starting to roll in to our SoundCloud group.
http://soundcloud.com/groups/raw-sounds-needed-for-new-guidebooks-recording. It really does feel like we have a lot of people joining our band all of a sudden!
We're re-sampling the sounds and manipulating them to form what we need to write with.
Next it's adding instruments to these samples and beginning to form compositions and songs around them.
But you know- this is tough! There's a lot of notebooks filled with scribbled lyrics and half written lines. Slowly ideas are forming and some are coming from the contexts and stories around the sources of the sounds themselves.
It's strange and a little bit exhilarating to feel that as the samples roll in, we are not fully in control of what we will have to work with. It'll be interesting to see what people send to us and what way we have to twist and adapt. This is an important part of the process though, like lifting your hands off the handlebars. It feels different, but in a good way.
Some work in progress to follow in the next couple of weeks! You guys can all tell us if we're going in the right direction!
In adventures,

In his book "Who Says Elephants Can't Dance?", Lou Gerstner describes how, on his second day in his role as CEO of IBM (1993), his brother reported; "We have allowed the IT industry to endorse the paradigm that the mainframe is expensive, complex, not responsive, and workstation solutions are cheap, simple to operate, and responsive to business needs. While there is no truth to this paradigm, we have allowed competitors, opinion leaders, and our customers to exaggerate the differences. The result is a dramatic falloff in S/390(mainframes) sales, increased the credibility of Amdahl and Hitachi alternatives, loss of credibility of CIOs at major corporations, and loss of confidence that IBM has the customer's best interests in mind in its sales organization".
Please read this quote again and read it out aloud and slowly. Now think back to when this all happened. I was specifically touched by the part where he says; "loss of credibility of CIO's at major corporations". And as you will remember, many of us who believed that the mainframe was a good platform and "workstations" had not yet proven to be so cost effective and simple were told off, we received the stamp "In the way of progress, do not touch.. " on our foreheads.
It's almost 20 years later. IT is more complex and expensive than ever. And when we are asked to save money, and we bring up the subject of running Linux on System z or on blades attached to the Mainframe, very often, we are told that we are "just trying to protect our jobs". Even though a lot has changed in the past few years, the myth of the "expensive, complex & non-responsive Mainframe," is still very much alive. Everything that was supposed to replace the mainframe only replaced a small part of the processing and was soon followed up by newer technology. This happened every 5 years or so and even though every single one of them was supposed to replace all "old" technology , all they ever did was add more complexity. And though most of us will agree that Cloud computing can offer significant business benefits, we also know that it will replace some, but not ALL of the technology in IT infrastructures.
So when our IT Department is faced with budget cuts or other money saving exercises and we suggest using the mainframe as a way to save costs, increase efficiency and stability, the old myths come up again. And people often quickly point out that the latest technology will (again) be the only technology that can save the world. To everybody who recognizes this; please do not accept it this time. Let's demonstrate that an elephant CAN dance.
The argument that only NEW Technology can solve whatever problem we face has been the wrong argument ever since we started with IT. It's time to make people understand that they should listen to real arguments instead of 20 year old myths. For example; Linux on System Z has all the right arguments for being one of the solutions which solves some of today's problems. Everybody who owns a mainframe should use it to reduce complexity, save energy and improve efficiency. Denying the power of the mainframe more than 20 years after it was declared dead by so many is not only not very smart, it´s like saying the earth is flat….

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Lakewood is an amazing school with amazing staff. The kids are challenged academically but they gear teaching towards each kiddo's need/strengths. We have been there for K through 5 and all teachers have been incredibly sensitive and willing to work with the parents to help their child reach their true potential. Great staff and administration...and the administrative assistant keeps the whole office running efficiently :)
"Poor academic program", this is the phrase that best defines this school. Kids do not learn, teachers do not care. There is not enough communication between teachers and parents. Useless weekly newsletters and once-a-year parent teacher meeting are the only communication activities.
10 out of 10. Our son has Down syndrome in the LFI program there. It was quite a fight with MCPS to allow him to attend there, because the other option in Upper Montgomery County was BAD. So blessed to be at Lakewood. Principal Malcotti is amazing, and the special needs students really have her heart. Teaching staff is excellent, communication is excellent. The Lakewood Links program is a group of general ed 4th and 5th graders who have actively taken on a role of true inclusion, academically and most importantly, socially. Reece is truly loved and appreciated at this school, and it's going to be really tough going to MS next year.
I think what the previous parent wrote is so correct. I also moved to this area for the school and we are renting one of the most expensive aptts here becoz of the school. Its worth it. My son is learning a lot and the descipline policy is worth a mention too. Excellent school and excellent teachers.
We loved Lakewood. My son's kindergarden teacher was easy to communicate with. She was a gem and so was the support staff! Indeed a competitve school like most schools in the Potomac area. We dealt mainly with the vice-principal. He is great. We have to move to the West Coast and will be missing Lakewood.
principal is a nightmare regularly screams and yells at the children. totally unprofessional on any level. 5th graders wrote a petition and signed it regarding lunchroom policy. principal went whacko - behaved as though she were drunk or high on drugs screaming and yelling at the children for 35 minutes straight.
Very very poor in parent teacher communication. The only important issue here is the test scores. It is very hard to get a response from a teacher to a note or a phone call. Only those students whose parents can pursue the teachers hard enough get challenging work. Others receive a work 1 grade bellow level.
9 years, 4 principals. Focus on education is on test scores and teaching children to take tests in order to score well on assessments. Very little social interaction between children.
Highly competetive environment with majority of the kids performing on the advanced level in all grade levels. A lot of professional staff.

Wilted Swiss Chard Salad
Swiss chard gets a bad wrap. I think it's pretty close to spinach as far as texture goes. Also this lovely green comes in a rainbow variety that even kids find appealing.
I have for you today a crunchy, sweet, and savory swiss chard salad. What makes it crunchy you say, well it's the sunflower seeds. What makes it sweet you say, well it's the dried cranberries. So what makes it savory? I looked up savory to be sure I was using it the right way and savory means pleasing to the sense of taste especially by reason of effective seasoning.
Serves 2-4
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups rinsed and chopped swiss chard
- salt and pepper to taste
- Heat pan over medium heat for 2 minutes and spray with canola oil
- Place onions in pan and saute about 3 minutes
- Add mushrooms, spray pan again and cook another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Throw in cranberries and sunflower seeds and heat 1-2 minutes
- Add olive oil and apple cider vinegar, turn off heat and add swiss chard
- Mix thoroughly and let sit in pan for 1-2 minutes
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste
- Serve with hummus and flax crackers

As I wrote earlier today, part of the job of media outlets between last week's NBA Draft lottery and the June 26th draft, is to get as many possible draft stories as they can. Sometimes this mean passing along buzz that will likely turn out to be meaningless.
Today, in a piece that was insider only, ESPN's Chad Ford laid out a scenario where the Sixers COULD draft Australian point-guard Dante Exum, and move Michael Carter-Williams.
The Philadelphia 76ers are Exum fans as well and if Wiggins is off the board, he's in the mix. They think Exum and Carter-Williams could play together in the backcourt, though it would not be a very good shooting tandem. I think the more obvious fit comes if they trade Carter-Williams, an idea I'm told they have bounced around.
In the scenario that Wiggins is gone before the Sixers make a selection, why wouldn't they take the better prospect in Joel Embiid and trade Nerlens Noel, who they have never actually seen play a game? It's basically the same scenario, except if you move Noel, you are making a pretty certain upgrade, whereas a Carter-Williams trade would be trading the NBA's reigning Rookie of the Year for a player with remarkable similar traits.
I'm not an Exum hater, but why would we move on from MCW for a player whose biggest flaw is also not being able to shoot very well? The idea of moving on from Carter-Williams is a classic case of a long-offseason of sports talk radio, influencing a whole fanbase to think that an unnecessary move makes sense. Three months ago, people would have scoffed at the idea of trading Carter-Williams, but a few sports radio hosts speculate about it, and it gains traction with fans.
I'm not expecting Carter-Williams to ever be an elite shooter, but pair an actual team around him and watch him become an elite defensive point-guard. With his wingspan, there is no reason why he shouldn't be a very good defender, unless people around him aren't holding onto their responsibilities, like last year. Along those same lines, if Carter-Williams averaged 6.3 assists per game with a D-League roster around him, what could he do in a few years, when we project that the Sixers will actually have a good team around him?
It would be one thing to consider moving him if a Derrick Rose-esque pointguard was available in this year's draft, but to move him for a pick and hand the keys to the franchise over to a player who projects to be very similar to Carter-Williams, but has never actually proven anything at the NBA level, doesn't make any sense.
