Top 10 silly 911 calls in Chatham spans glass eye lovers' quarrel, Mike Duffy, goat carjacking
Police force lists most ridiculous calls of the year

A southwestern Ontario resident's attempt to meddle in the Senate scandal by calling 911 on Mike Duffy made the Chatham police force's annual list of the silliest emergency calls of the year.
The caller accused the embattled senator of fraud in effort to sic Chatham, Ont., police on him — despite being more than 700 kilometres from the capital.
That wasn't enough to nab the top spot, however. The call only ranked fifth out of the force's 10 most ridiculous reports.
First prize went to a lovers' quarrel over a glass eye. A man reported his girlfriend hid the prosthesis after he took it out at her home, and asked that police help him retrieve it.
Second place went to a driver who ended up being carjacked by a goat.
Police say the woman initially called after seeing the animal in the road, but when she stepped out of her vehicle to look for an address to give the 911 operator, the goat hopped in.
In third position were "bored" youngsters who police say tried to "trip" cars with a dog leash.
Another close call with nature earned the fourth spot, this one involving a squirrel whose daredevil leap through an open car window caused the driver to plow into a ravine. Police say the furry joyrider learned his lesson.
Other highlights include a man who wanted police to prevent rain water from his neighbour's roof from falling on his property, a woman who came face-to-face with a possum in her bathroom cupboard, and a person barred from driving who rode an e-bike to a probation appointment.
Here is the complete list from the Chatham-Kent Police Service:
1. A man called police to help him retrieve his personal property. The man had gone to his girlfriend's home and taken out his glass eye. He was upset that she hid his eye and refused to return it.
2. A female driver who saw a goat on the road called police to report the animal had jumped in the vehicle when she got out to look for an address to give the 911 operator.
3. Calls about bored youths trying to "trip" cars with dog leashes.
4. A squirrel jumped through the open window of a car, causing the driver to accelerate into a ravine. Luckily the driver was not injured and the squirrel now looks before leaping.
5. It would be expected that a person would call police to report a $90,000 fraud. However, it's not common that the caller names Sen. Mike Duffy in Ottawa as the accused.
6. A man called police because rain water from his neighbour's roof was falling on his property.
7. Police receive call about a dispute between neighbours started over porch lights one of them felt were too bright.
8. A woman called 911 after she opened her bathroom cupboard and was face-to-face with a possum. Animal control was called.
9. A homeowner relaxing in his hot tub was startled by a male who jumped his fence and fell into the pool. Any criminal plans the male had quickly sizzled. He hastily left the hot tub and sloshed away into the darkness.
10. If you're on probation with conditions not to drive a motor vehicle, it may not be a good idea to drive your e-bike to your probation appointment.

Online Blacklisting of Medical Malpractice Plaintiffs
In a disturbing development, websites are emerging to create blacklists of individuals who file medical malpractice claims. According to an article at Law.com:
In 2004, a group of Texas physicians launched DoctorsKnowUs.com. The site listed the names of plaintiffs, attorneys and expert witnesses in medical malpractice cases. That site did not make any distinction between cases that ended in plaintiff verdicts and those that ended in defense verdicts or settlements.
According to the New York Times, a North Texas man had trouble finding a physician for his 18-year old son after his name was posted on the site. He had filed a medical malpractice suit after his wife died from a missed brain tumor, and had won an undisclosed settlement.
DoctorsKnowUs.com was shut down four days after the Times article was published.
A new website to blacklist medical malpractice plaintiffs has emerged, called LitiPages.com. According to the Law.com article:
In the latest effort to enable doctors to shun patients who sue, an offshore company has launched an Internet site that lists the names of plaintiffs who have filed medical malpractice cases in Florida and their attorneys.
The site, LitiPages.com, encourages doctors to consider avoiding patients who are listed in the database, and it strongly encourages plaintiffs who have lost their cases at trial to turn around and sue their plaintiffs attorney. . . .
Unlike the Texas site, LitiPages.com plans to list only plaintiffs who filed cases that ended in a defense verdict, a settlement, or a plaintiff verdict on only one count while other counts were dismissed.
The overwhelming majority of med-mal cases that go to trial result in defense verdicts. A large percentage of claims never go to trial, and many of those result in settlements. Some experts say that it's not possible to say that cases are "frivolous" just because they don't result in a plaintiff verdict.
The article also discusses an interesting study about medical malpractice lawsuits:

A method and apparatus for gathering high-quality anatomical audio signals. Practice of the invention, which is illustrated herein in the context of heart-produced signals, is based upon gathering, and competitively processing audio signals collected simultaneously from two adjacent anatomical sites. Competitive processing examines these two signals in light of certain selected "quality" parameters, and thereby selects the better signal at a user-selected point in time.
1. A method employed in the gathering, for observation purposes, of desired-category anatomical audio signal information effectively from a selected anatomical region, said method comprising
placing first and second audio signal sensors/detectors on the anatomy at selected locations of adjacency relative to such region,
gathering, and competitively processing, the respective audio signals detected by these two sensors for the purpose of selecting, during a given, defined time-frame, one of these two detected signals as the higher-quality signal as such is determined by the review of certain pre-chosen quality-selection parameters, and
declaring such selected higher-quality audio signal to be the one containing the desired-category audio signal information from the selected anatomical region during the defined time-frame.

This invention pertains to a method and apparatus employed in the gathering, for observation purposes, of desired-category anatomical audio signal information effectively gathered from a specific, selected anatomical region, or site. In particular, it relates to such a method and apparatus which are capable of determining and selecting, from the mentioned selected anatomical site, and during a particular time interval, the highest-quality available audio signal, which signal may then be studied/reviewed in relation to selected anatomical electrical signals which are also present generally at the same site during the same time interval.
For the purpose of illustration herein, a preferred embodiment of, and manner of practicing, the present invention are described in the setting of collecting heart-produced audio signals from the traditional V4 ECG lead site on the anatomy for study along with ECG electrical signals collected essentially from the same site (as well as from other traditional ECG sites, if desired).
From a methodologic point of view, a preferred implementation of the present invention involves (a) the placement of a pair of audio sensors, or transducers, in close proximity to a selected anatomical site, such as the mentioned V4 lead site, (b) the gathering of simultaneously acquirable audio signals from those two sensors, (c) the competitive processing of such two signals in order to evaluate the higher-quality one of them in accordance with certain quality-selection parameters which are described below, and then (d) the selection and declaration of that higher-quality signal to be the chosen, desired-category audio output signal that may be reviewed along with a time-contemporaneous ECG signal derived also essentially directly from the V4 site.
As will be briefly mentioned below, one of the audio sensors, or transducers, or if desired, both such employed sensors, may be constructed in the form of a combined audio and electrical anatomical signal sensor of the type described in a currently co-pending U.S. patent application covering an invention entitled "Method and Apparatus for Detecting and Transmitting Electrical and Related Audio Signals From a Single, Common Anatomical Site, Ser. No. 10/389,402, filed Mar. 14, 2003. Reference is made to this currently co-pending patent application simply to provide background information relative to one manner of collecting an anatomical audio signal. Practice and utility of the present invention does not in any way depend upon specific features or behavioral capabilities of this representative structure.
The various features and advantages which are attained by the present invention will become more fully apparent as the description thereof which now follows is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Turning now to the drawings, recognizing that these drawings provide schematic structural (and functional) representations of the invention, and beginning first with
The operative intention of system 10, as thus shown, is to gather, for observation purposes, as high a quality as possible "V4" heart sound in order to study and review this sound during a given, selected time interval, along with the simultaneously occurring ECG anatomical electrical signal also present at site V4. Such study and review is considered to be important in certain medical practices of interpreting heart behavior, and the gathering of a reliably informative V4 audio signal has sometimes been challenging when performed by various, conventional, prior-art techniques, essentially always employing a single audio sensor.
Sound-quality difficulties in the past, regarding the collection of heart-produced sounds, occur for a number of reasons, prevalent among which are: (1) nearfield audio signal effects; (2) the possibility of rib interposition in the intended sound-gathering path; (3) the poor quality of an "acoustic" seal between a gathering sensor (typically a microphone) and the surface of the anatomy; (4) the presence of intervening fat tissue; (5) competing gastrointestinal sounds; and others. These possible difficulties, and their respective severities, are often dramatically affected by the specific positioning and placement chosen for a sound sensor.
The present invention effectively addresses these issues by employing two audio sensors 18, 20 in
Sensors 18, 20 are each herein constructed as described in the mentioned copending U.S. patent application, wherein audio and electrical anatomical signal information is co-gathered along a substantially common axis which is positioned to intersect a single, specific, common anatomical site. Sensor 18 gathers audio information along previously mentioned axis 12 which is located near the V4 site, and specifically substantially at the conventional V3 site. Sensor 20, which is associated with an ECG, or electrical-signal, electrode 22, gathers audio information along previously mentioned axis 14, which extends through the conventional V4 anatomical site. Electrode 22 furnishes V4 ECG electrical signal information on a conductor 24.
Further included in system 10 are an analog-to-digital converter 26, a noise detection block 28 which includes two noise detectors 30, 32, a signal selector 34, and an electronic, digital selector switch 36. Two conductors 38, 40 feed analog electrical "sound" signals from sensors 18, 20, respectively, to the input side of converter 26, and associated conductors 42, 44, respectively, feed related digital output signals from the output side of converter 26 to the inputs, respectively, of noise detectors 30, 32. Branching conductors 46, 48 connect conductors 42, 44, respectively, to the input side of switch 36, whose single output is connected to a digital audio output conductor 50. Noise detectors 30, 32 which operate respectively on the digital versions of the analog signals coming from sensors 18, 20, along with signal selector 34, collaboratively perform what is referred to herein as competitive signal processing, and selection of the "higher-quality" one of the audio signals coming from the two audio sensors. Collectively they constitute signal processing structure in system 10.
Output signals from noise detectors 30, 32 are fed by pairs of conductors 52, 54 and 56, 58, respectively to the input side of signal selector 34. A conductor 60 connects the output side of the signal selector to the control input of switch 36. Conductor 60 is referred to herein as output structure, and it functions, according to the invention, to declare the selected, higher-quality audio signal.
With attention directed now to
Filter 62 is connected to spike detector 64 via conductors 72, 74, to amplitude estimator 66 via a conductor 76, to SNR estimator 68 by a conductor 78, and to burst detector 67 by conductor 78 and a conductor 79. The output of the spike detector feeds information to the signal status circuit, to the SNR estimator, and to the amplitude estimator by way of conductors 80, 82, 84, respectively. Signals sent from the spike detector over conductors 82, 84 to the SNR estimator and to the amplitude estimator, respectively, operate, on the occurrence of a spike being detected, to hold the outputs from these two estimators momentarily at their present values. This assures that no signal-quality declaration is made in the presence of an audio-spike event. The outputs of estimators 66, 68 supply information to signal status circuit 70 via conductors 86, 88, respectively. The output of burst detector 67 connects to circuit 70 via a conductor 85. Conductors 87, 89 interconnect the SNR estimator and the burst detector. Previously mentioned conductor 54 connects as shown with conductor 88.
Within each of noise detectors 30, 32, effectively there is a comparison which is made of power that is present in signal information passing through each of the two band-pass (higher-frequency, lower-frequency) filters.
Completing a description of what appears in
Finally with respect to what is shown in the drawings,
The respective natures of circuits 146, 148 will become apparent shortly from the operational description of the system of this invention.
Describing now the operation of the apparatus and methodology of the present invention, when it is to be placed in use, audio sensors 18, 20 are suitably applied to the anatomy close to one another, and close, typically, to conventional ECG site V4, as is pictured in
An electrode, such as electrode 22, is also properly positioned essentially at the V4 site. Where a combined audio and electrical sensor device, like the device illustrated and described in the mentioned co-pending patent application, is employed, that device is essentially disposed to gather both audio and anatomical electrical signals from the same anatomical site. However, as was also mentioned earlier, use of such a combined audio/electrical sensor is not a requirement involved in practice of the present invention.
When such anatomical positionings and attachments have been accomplished, the associated sensors and electrode begin monitoring audio and anatomical electrical signals.
With this activity under way, digital versions of the two collected audio signals which are developed by sensors 18, 20 are fed to the signal processing apparatus of the invention by way of analog-to-digital converter 26. From this converter, such signals are supplied to noise detection block 28. Specifically, the digital signal which is derived from sensor 18 goes to noise detector 30, and that derived from sensor 20 goes to noise detector 32. As will shortly be more fully explained, competitive processing which looks at a number of selected parameters takes place within these noise detectors ultimately to deliver to signal selector 34 two different pieces of information coming from each of the two noise detectors. One of these pieces of information possesses a level, or a value, which relates to what is referred to herein as a "nominal" signal status. This nominal signal status value is developed in each noise detector in light of parameters including (a) signal frequency, (b) signal amplitude, (c) signal power, and (d) the presence or absence of spike and/or burst noise. The other information supplied by each noise detector to the signal selector possesses a level, or a value, which is associated with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The first-mentioned piece of information is supplied with respect to approximately the last two-seconds of audio signal activity (at any moment in time). The signal-to-noise information piece relates, effectively, to the average SNR value over a preceding time interval of about ten-seconds.
Based upon the respective conditions of these pieces of information, as perceived by signal selector 34 at a point in time when a user is calling for the noting and recordation of audio information, the signal selector chooses which audio sensor will be the then-declared source of the desired, higher-quality audio signal to be supplied by switch 36 to output conductor 50. As will shortly be seen, the first-level evaluation is performed with respect to a comparison of the two "nominal" signal status values coming from the two noise detectors. If one of these values is more prevalent than the other, the signal selector chooses whichever audio signal is related to that more-prevalent nominal status. If the nominal status values supplied by the two noise detectors match one another, then a second-level determination selects that source of audio information which, in the prior interval of about ten-seconds, has produced an average signal-to-noise ratio which is the higher one of the two such SNR values.
Looking now at the operation which takes place in each of the two noise detectors, and describing this in relation to fully illustrated noise detector 30, and now making reference especially to
The various outputs (three in number, on conductors 72, 76, 118) coming from filtration activities are supplied, as shown, to the spike detector, to the burst detector, to the SNR estimator, and to the amplitude estimator, as pictured. Effectively, the immediate downstream strings of processing blocks and conductors provided for the two band-pass filters furnish output information that is related to signal amplitude, and to signal power and frequency present in the outputs of the two frequency passbands.
Output signals from the upper band-pass filter are processed in block 96 to create and absolute value signal level which is then integrated in block 100 over a period of 150-milliseconds to provide a signal that is fed via conductor 72 to one input in spike detector 64. Signals flowing from the output of the lower band-pass filter are first processed by difference filter 94, and then handled by block 98 to create another absolute value signal level which is also integrated, in this case by block 102, over a period of 150-milliseconds. Output from integrator block 102 is furnished, as shown, to inputs in spike detector 64, in burst detector 67, and in SNR estimator 68. All of this information, along with the direct supply to the amplitude estimator of the output signal from the output of the lower frequency band-pass filter, is then treated within blocks 64, 66, 67 and 68, to create appropriate, related output signals that are provided to signal status block 70.
The following text now generally describes what takes place with respect to the operations of blocks 64, 66, 67, 68 and 70.
Burst detector 67 (see
The output of the signal status block 70 is determined, as has been mentioned, by incoming signals from spike detector 64, from burst detector 67, from amplitude estimator 66, and from the SNR estimator 68.
If the output of the amplitude estimator is zero (indicating amplitude below the NO SIGNAL threshold), then the signal status output is NO SIGNAL. If the output of the amplitude estimator is 1 (indicating amplitude below the LOW SIGNAL threshold, but above the NO SIGNAL threshold), then the signal status output is LOW SIGNAL. If the output of the SNR estimator is below a predetermined threshold (e.g. 1.9), then the signal status is CONTINUOUS NOISE. If the output of the spike detector is 1 (indicating that a spike is detected), then the signal status output is SPIKE NOISE. If the output of the burst detector is 1, then the signal status output is BURST NOISE. If none of the above conditions occurs, then the signal status output is NOMINAL.
These six possible output values just mentioned are encoded internally as integer values from 0 to 5.
The output of SNR estimator 68 as pictured herein (see
For every sample of data, the signal status block (70) produces an output as described above. Sides A,B in accumulate-circuit 146 accumulate these outputs over a two-second period, and each "side" produces an output which changes no more often than every two-seconds. The output from each accumulate-circuit side represents certain characteristics of the signal quality of the associated source audio signal over the previous two-seconds.
As has been indicated earlier, there is one accumulate-circuit side for each of the two audio sensors. Inputs to the each accumulate-circuit side come from the associated signal status block. The output from each of these sides is determined as follows:
The decision-making (declaring) operation of assessment circuit 148 is as follows:
If one accumulate-circuit side has more NOMINAL outputs than does the other within the last ten-seconds, circuit 148 picks, as the declared, higher-quality audio signal, the audio signal which is associated with that one side. If that is not the case, i.e., if both "sides" show an equal number of NOMINAL outputs, then circuit 148 picks the audio side with the highest SNR, as averaged over the preceding ten-seconds.
There is thus provided by this invention a novel method and novel apparatus for acquiring high-quality audio information from a selected anatomical site. A key feature involves the simultaneous gathering/collecting of audio signals by two independent, closely adjacent audio sensors which are placed on the anatomy near that site. This dual-collection practice, coupled with appropriate competitive signal processing to apply certain quality-assessment parameters as described, results in the reliable, useful acquisition of an anatomical audio signal to be reviewed confidently along with related electrical (such as ECG) signal information.
While a preferred and best mode embodiment of, and manner of practicing, the invention have been illustrated and described herein, variations and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

WATCH: Anderson Cooper and Seth Meyers Are Gay Gym Buddies
BY Jami Smith
March 18 2014 10:30 AM ET
Anderson Cooper and Seth Meyers have a lot in common, other than they both tried to marry Stefon on Saturday Night Live. Cooper appeared as a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers and sort of, kind of, admitted to checking Meyers out at the gym. When Meyers tells the audience that they attended the same gym, Cooper is quick to chime in with, "It was pretty much the gayest gym on the planet and I assumed you were gay because there weren't a lot of other reasons to be there." After admiring Cooper's stamina on a treadmill, Meyers finally sets the record straight that he is, in fact, straight. "If that's how you want to play it Seth."
Even if Meyers' only true gay love is his former onscreen husband from SNL, Stefon, it would be fun to see him and Cooper do more together. An onscreen giggle fit duel, perhaps?

The Sacred Modernist: Josef Albers as a Catholic Artist.
Lewis Glucksman Gallery, Cork
5 April-8 July 2012
With the official opening on Holy Thursday in the Roman Catholic calendar and a running time that includes the week of the Fiftieth International Eucharistic Congress in Dublin, the Lewis Glucksman Gallery has chosen its dates wisely for this exhibition. Still, the theme is risky in a predominantly secular culture that has come to equate the headline 'Catholic' with abuse of the most vulnerable.
The director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and curator of this exhibition, Nicolas Fox Weber, attempts to persuade viewers to reconsider Albers' work in the light of his Catholic faith. This is no easy feat since Albers is usually associated with quasi scientific investigations of colour and of optical effects, and not with the spiritual. The exhibition spans Albers' creative years, from a 1911 ink drawing of a church steeple to his final Homage to the Square, 1976, painted in the year of his death. There are ample opportunities to revel in the development of Albers' vision of life his delight with geometric lines; his search for the harmony of shapes as well as their playful possibilities; his preoccupation with the relationships of colours, their rhythm and timbre.
While the exhibition displays a number of Albers' works for churches--from the stained glass window entitled Rosa Mystical Ora Pr[o] Nobis,1918, that was reproduced for this exhibit to his optically illusive designs for The Washburn College Bible, 1979--it is a loyalty to his vision and a steadfast dedication to exploring all possibilities with shape and colour, that elicits the notion that his childhood faith might have remained firmly planted in his life and work. In essence, his work begins to resemble prayer--that intentional attempt to centre on the ineffable, to gain a wisdom that only the quietening of one's thoughts can provide. For example, the design in Albers' In Open Air, 1936, is deceptively simple with its green grass of colour towards the bottom and sky blue above. Overlaid with a perfectly lined black square and an unbroken angular pattern in white, the lines in the piece move optically, defying physicality. It is this simplicity, matched with a teasing visual puzzle that moves the viewer to consider more closely this mystery and ultimately, to rest in it.
In an interview from 1968, Albers stated, 'I make you see more than there is ... Absolutely something else.' (1) At that time, Albers had been working on his Homage to the Square series for 19 years. The Glucksman exhibition finishes with a display of 15 of these vibrant gems. Similar in design, these paintings of nests of three or four squares can, at first, appear quite austere. Yet, it is in this atmosphere of restraint that the seeker can more easily access the divine. These simple paintings are wholly captivating with the illusory movements ignited by Albers' precise colours. In his final Homage to the Square, 1976, it is the pulsing shades of blue and green, the softening of the sharp edges of the square and the misting together of colours that gradually draws the mind to rest in quiet contemplation. In that same interview in 1968, Albers said, 'My things have the look of [Orthodox] icons' and certainly they might be near perfect manifestations of the often-used description of icons as windows to the divine.
For many years, the Catholic Church has largely ignored abstract art, preferring to utilise representational work instead. With Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi as President of the Pontifical Council for Culture, this trend appears to be changing. In a discussion about which artists might be appropriate for a Vatican-held exhibition, the Cardinal stated for Vatican radio that the desire is 'to involve everyone who is wondering about what goes beyond the immediate horizon, especially those artists who seek to make the invisible visible.' While it remains unclear whether Albers should be labelled a 'Catholic artist,' one hopes that Catholic Church leaders will take note of this exquisite display of modern art and consider how they might better utilise such art to aid the experience of a life-giving encounter with the divine.

Hey guys:
Just brewed my first lager (Bohemian Pils) and fermented well at 54 degrees for 10 days.
I thought 10 days would be plenty of time, but now not so sure.
I took it out 48 hrs ago for a diacetyl rest and it's resting at 64. I say resting, but it's churning pretty good.
I have a new active fermentation going on and I think it's time to lager (after 48 hr diacetyl rest).
Should I let it perc at this temp until it stops churning or put it back in at 54 to finish?
Your observations and assurances are appreciated.
Just a sidenote on the new thread...looks like the 1.048 og is at 1.015 now (in the range for Budvar finishing), so it may be very nearly done after all. There is no fervent airlock activity, but the yeast is swirling a bit in the carboy. Your input is still welcome, but I may still lager tonight.
I would not start lagering until it's done fermenting. Don't bother cooling it back down to 54, just let it finish where it is - shouldn't take more than a few days. If it's not done fermenting, chances are that diacetyl hasn't been clean up either so don't risk it.
Yeah, my black lager just did that too. It's been up to 63F for a couple of days now and now there's activity again, and not just dissolved co2 coming out... clearly it wasn't all the way done...
It's fine if it finishes off what little sugar remains. Just let it finish before lagering.
Also recognize that as the beer warms it will release CO2. This makes whatever fermentation you're getting look like a bigger deal than it is.
Edit- I see BC beat me to it.

NEW YORK The Environmental Protection Agency is suing specialty alloy producer Carpenter Technology Corp. for damages related to the alleged disposal of hazardous materials at a former industrial site in New Jersey.
The lawsuit, which also names nine other defendants including Dearborn, Mich.-based Ford Motor Co. and Boston-based Cabot Corp., shows that the federal government "seeks to recover certain costs incurred or to be incurred by the United States in connection with the release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment" at the Evor Phillips Leasing Superfund Site in Old Bridge, N.J., according to documents filed Dec. 16 with the U.S. District Court in New Jersey.
Beginning in the early 1960s, the Phillips site was used "for industrial operations including, but not limited to metals reclamation, waste oil recovery and industrial waste treatment and disposal," the lawsuit says. The filing claims that "from at least 1970 to approximately 1986, hazardous substances were transported to, accepted and disposed of at the site."
The lawsuit goes on to claim that CarTech "sent hazardous wastes, including waste acids containing hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, from its Reading, Pa., plant to the site." The company allegedly "arranged for the disposal at the site of wastes containing hazardous substances, and these hazardous substances were found at the site."
Wyomissing, Pa.-based CarTech declined to comment.

Polar Plunging into 2010
Though I'm not sure taking the Polar Bear Plunge was really on any of my lifelong lists of things to do, I nonetheless checked it off today.
Five hours later, I'm still cold.
Admittedly, I have always thought it would be fun to join the hundreds of lunatics who throw themselves into Lake Michigan every Jan. 1, but that was usually as far as the idea went. This year, however, a few friends decided to go for it, and again my inner F.O.M.O. (Fear of Missing Out) reared its persuasive head.
Initially, I hoped to do the Bipolar Plunge, the bicycle-themed alternative to the Bradford Beach event. But I got overruled, and at 11 a.m., our group, consisting of Jen Lada, Sean Reti, Trenni Kusnierek and my wife, Velia (who was there for moral and warming support), rolled up to the jam-packed beach.
Waiting proved to be the hardest part, well, other than jumping in the lake. With an hour to kill, we watched hundreds of crazed revelers hoot and holler. Some dressed in super hero costumes, others pitched tents and built fires for warmth. Most were drinking -- a lot.
I opted for stone-cold sobriety, and at 11:55 a.m., we peeled off our coats and prepared do the unthinkable. Jen and Trenni went with the bikini look, while Sean stripped down to a Speedo (and left me with an unpleasant visual memory that will take years of counseling to erase). I wore my beaten up white dinner jacket with black lapels over an ironic T-shirt and a floral bathing suit.
Then, someone blew an air horn and we took off. I jumped into the water and sprinted about 10 yards. Then I dove underwater, splashed around for a few seconds and turned back to shore. While the water temperature was a balmy 34 degrees, the air temperature hovered around 22. The shock of being submerged literally knocked the wind out of me, and I felt more than a little disoriented when I popped up.
Maybe 20 seconds later, I ran back to the shore, my energy depleting with each step. I actually had a tough time getting out of the lake, but a stranger grabbed my hand and hoisted me out. I waddled back our base, where my wife threw some towels over me and snapped some photos of me in my misery (Some YouTube footage has emerged from the event; I'm in the scene below for about 30 seconds, starting at the 25 second mark).
The next few minutes are a little blurry. My toes got very cold very quickly, and I had a hard time taking my shoes off -- and a nearly impossible time pulling a pair of socks. I was literally steaming at this point, feeling about as awful as I've ever felt.
Screaming swimmers were now returning to shore, stripping off wet clothes without a hint of shame. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught more male full frontal nudity than I needed to see, but modesty was now out the window. Covering myself as best as possible in a bathrobe, I flung my steaming clothes onto the beach and began to regain my composure.
The freezing sensation went away fairly quickly but was replaced with exhaustion, some chest pain -- I think I must've stretched out my lungs gasping in the frigid air -- and ravenous hunger. I was home by 1 p.m., soaking in hot bath that didn't manage to warm me up at all.
The rest of group seemed to enjoy this ridiculous plunge more than I did, all vowing to return next year. For me, I'll pass. While I've got a good story to tell, once is enough and the rest of the day has become an exhausted write off of naps and lying around (like most New Year's Days, come to think of it).
But I did it, and I survived. If each of our 365 days each year is about new experiences, then 2010 is off to a fine start.

Playboy likes Blue's Egg
Published Nov. 18, 2014
Take it for what its worth, but Playboy Magazine has Blue's Egg as one of its 101 best breakfasts in America (don't worry, the link is reasonably safe for work). The restaurant at 317 N. 76th St. came in 21st place out of 23 Midwest selections, just behind Mickie's Dairy Bar in Madison.

After 25 days, how we found our missing cat
Published Oct. 28, 2014
I really didn't have any hope left after 25 days. As we entered the fourth week without our sweet, kind, missing cat, Jabie, I was beginning to come to peace with the reality that I'd never see her again. Then, yesterday, less than four blocks from home, a woman called my wife and said she had cajoled a black cat into her basement. My wife bolted home from work and immediately recognized Jabie coming up the stairs. Just to be sure, she took her to the closest vet to scan her microchip. And it came back as a match from Elmbrook Humane Society.
Apple Pay: not ready for prime time

Apple's new killer app, Apple Pay, may indeed someday change global commerce for good. That day isn't here yet, however. Three days after launch, my experiences with the NFC-based payment / tap to pay system show that Apple Pay is still very, very beta. At this point, you may find yourself using it barely at all.

Fall into family fun in Door County
Published Oct. 8, 2014
Once upon a time, I figured that the magnificent, serene and beautiful Door County is a place only to be enjoyed by adults. Maybe my priorities have changed, though, because even after 20 years of visits, only recently did I come to the conclusion that kids could fall in love with this magical retreat, too. Turns out I was right. After the summer rush died down, we took our daughter up to Door County for the first time this weekend. It was a wonderful journey.
Social media and our missing cat
Published Oct. 7, 2014
Just about a week ago, our sweet little cat, Jabie, disappeared from our Bay View home. Maybe one of us left the patio door open a bit, I'm not sure. But after hours upon hours of walking the neighborhood, taping up posters and talking to every stranger we see, she's still nowhere to be found.
Dandy Warhols, fans share secrets of good music, great city
Published Sept. 27, 2014
I've been lucky enough to see the Dandy Warhols live several times over the last few years. But each time, I've had to travel to Chicago or Madison to hear them, which is a small sacrifice for one of my favorite bands over the last 15-plus years. So the opportunity to see the Dandys at Turner Hall was a welcome one, and as usual, provided for a great venue to see the Portland-based band Saturday night.
Picking, grinning
Published Sept. 23, 2014
Sunday morning, we headed to Mequon to pick apples, although not to Barthel's. On a friend's tip, we visit R-Apples (Roesch Farm), right next door at 12422 Farmdale Rd. What a wonderful, low-key experience. Not only was it peaceful and quiet, we picked apples and pears of many different varieties. Then we headed to their vegetable garden, and picked peppers and raspberries.

A favorite MAC shade of mine. LOVE the satin texture- blendable with a little sheen to it. Color is a light peach champagne that is just a tad darker than my natural lid color. Looks gorgeous on the lid with Cork in the crease and Shroom to highlight. This also works with cooler colors like Quarry, a mauve brown. Definately a great neutral.
This color is not flattering at all on me (NC20). if I use it on my lids, it makes my eyes look way smaller and shrunken...weird! It might be o.k. as a browbone color, but still not great. returning this!

This is my absolute favorite neutral. Such an underrated eye shadow, but seriously, this is one you NEED to get! I use it all the time as a highlight color, and it blends seamlessly with any number of neutral/brown shades. Good even on it's own for days when you don't feel like wearing any makeup/looking like you're wearing makeup, because a quick sweep across the lid brightens up the eye area without screaming "look at me, I'm wearing eye shadow!"

I came across this e/s when I was actaully looking for a lt blue that'd work well on me. It's the hg I've been looking for all along but could never put my finger on it. It looks like suede going on and makes any look classier. I have shroom, ricepaper, vapour that i go to for for base colors but none of them are as flattering. i won't use this as a browbone color though. It looked really good w/Antiqued, which I already had on. Paired that w/charcoal pencil liner, blue Maximeyes mascara and made a new look. got lots of compliments too. Highly recommend. lastly, if you are like me & peach-toned e/s makes you look dead, don't veer away from this, it doesn't.

I asked the Mac S.A. for a nice no-fuss neutral I could wear to work and she paired this with Brun. I'm very happy with it - as others have said, it's slightly shimmery but not overly so (and definitely not sparkly). It works very well with my NC30-NC40 skintone.
This is a nice e/s, but IMHO very easy duped. It is a very basic skintone color. I use it as a wash or if I want to tone down my e/s, I put it over that.
More reviews by StrawberryBabe
This is a really nice base colour. I have always used Shroom (and still do) but this is a great option if you're looking for something without quite as much glitter/sparkle. It goes on nice a sheer with just enough shimmer. Great day time office option or weekend casual. Will definitely repurchase. Not sure why I didn't give it 5 lippies, but it's a very strong 4.

This is a very neutral beige with peach undertones. It works very well as a base. It's a good basic e/s to have in a makeup collection. In the pot it looks very similar to Ricepaper but it is much more of a base color, versus Ricepaper which is more of a highlighter shade.

Its funny because I ran across this color in MAC recently while looking for a nice neutral "wash" color and I realized, Ive never even heard of this color! Its a really nice peachy beige neutral with a little hint of shimmer. It goes on very smooth and blends nicely with my skin tone. Definetly an underrated color!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a nice quality shadow, but there is a tad too much *pink* or something in it to work for me. I can't really put my finger on it, but it almost makes me look as if I am ill. I really wanted to like this shadow! It feels beautiful going on, though. Beautiful texture.

1996 Chevrolet Cavalier • 260,000 miles
I live in northern Minnesota and have to use antifreeze in the radiator of my car and for the last half year or so the antifreeze keeps disappearing ( though not on the ground ) so apparently somewhere into the engine. I have to keep adding a 50/50 water and antifreeze mix to the reservoir. Any suggestions as to where my antifreeze is disappearing? I know my car has high mileage and it has been a great car, but with the high mileage am I looking at an engine overhaul or what? Thanks much, Dale

Back to building model again. Since I was a kid, I always dream to have a tree house. I like to climb trees back then. I would build one now if I have a tree in my backyard, but sadly there is not one big tree there, even more sadly I don't have a backyard in my house, lol. I like to see a big tree, especially the one with small leaves, and I like to imagine if there is a tree house up there, would be so cool. I recently watch a TV program titled "Tree House Master" on Discovery World channel. I love that show and then I try to make 1:100 miniature, but exclude the tree, just the house. So here it is a simple but quite tiny template. It has only 1 page of pattern.
Paper Replika
Tony Stark Paper Figurine Part 1
This Tony Start papercraft / paper figure template was submitted by Saurabh Jethani. He wanted his work to be hosted in paper-replika.com. The reason was, he thought Tony's papercraft should be in the same site as other Iron Man papercrafts. So Iron Man fan can download it and build it for free. He shared the template in 2 PDO files, one with lines and the other is without lines. You can open this template using Pepakura Viewer, as you may know PDO file can be a pattern and an assembly instructions at once, so there are no graphic image instructions as usual. This is part is only a beginning, the leg will be added soon after he finished preparing the rest of the part.
Tuti from Tuti and Friends Online Comic
This cute little girl papercraft template was submitted by Reza Nalendra (Ongo Art). Tuti is the main character of online comic Tuti and Friends created by Raden Mohamad Fajar (Fajar Design). She is a hyperactive little girl, innocent and always brings joy. Whenever she goes, she's always wearing a yellow safety construction helmet and carrying a giant toothbrush. The template contains 13 pages of patterns, it comes with 10 pages of instructions file, both template and assembly instructions are in PDF. Due to more than 2 Mbs of each files I split them into 2 parts each in RAR format, you have extract it after both parts have been downloaded.
Jaeger Striker Eureka Paper Craft Part 3 (Final)
Finally the final part is released, this part is for Striker Eureka hips and both legs. This part also has the most pages compare to the previous parts, it has 29 pages. The segments are pretty big in size, almost without small segments. There are no joint here because it was planned as a paper statue. I have not tested to standing yet, but I have calculate that both legs will be able to support and will be quite balance. But if I am wrong you can add a square cardboard as its base and glue both feet on to it, it will support the whole body of this Australian Jaeger model.
WWII German Panzergrenadier Paper Craft
This WWII German machine gunner can be added to the paper soldier collectibles series. With this release, now we have 2 models from WWII era, beside band of modern soldiers and 1 from America British Colonial Era. As the previous WWII Paratrooper from Allied Forces this heavy machine gunner also came from a special force called Panzer Grenadier (Panzergrenadier). Panzergrenadier is a motorized and mechanized infantry. They also have tanks / panzer battalion, trucks and other some type of support vehicles. In the war movie when we see german soldiers were sitting on top a tank, they usually are panzergrenadiers. The template contains 3 pages of patterns.

Oh, today.
|November 18, 2014
|Filled under Uncategorized
Today has been a day. Last night I finally called it quits on something I should have ended months ago, so of course I have been feeling less than human today. Thank goodness for amazing coworkers and friends who have been feeding me enough fancy coffee and ego-boosting compliments to make today bearable.
Also, the amount of hilarious Tindering my coworker and I have been doing in our down time today has been epic. It's not even 3pm and my phone battery is at 33%. That's the thing about Tinder: it's a black hole of judgement and awful pickup lines. Somehow it makes me hate everyone in DC all at once. Yet, it's so darn entertaining at the same time. Especially when I find my friends, because then that shit is hilarious.
But yeah, it has been a day. And honestly, I think the next few days will be days too. At least when it comes to emotional pain, we always grow. It may take time, but we always grow.
Now for some Rom Com movie watching, ice cream eating, book reading, nail painting, and wine drinking. So very, very much wine drinking.
I just want to drink fancy cocktails and make really catty comments about the other people at the bar. This is how I wish to grieve.

It's been quite an interesting past few weeks. Here's a quick snapshot:
- I'm going to Bali, Indonesia in January! This is probably the biggest news. Something about spur of the moment trips in January – I guess it's my thing now? Totally fine with that. I could not be more excited!
- Someone important to me left this month. It's absolutely breaking my heart and I'm still trying to sort out all of my feelings. Been reading a lot of TinyBuddha articles in a feeble attempt to cope. It's marginally helping.
- I joined a gym. It's awesome so far and I love being able to take classes and work out. It's also helping with the attempted coping that I mentioned above.
- Saw Interstellar last week. Seriously, go see it. It was AWESOME! Especially if you can see it in Imax at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. Space on space on space!
- I'm traveling to Orlando for work this week, because I'm quite the fancy person now. It will probably be my last work trip until April, which is fine because it's like 20 degrees here in DC this week so I don't mind heading south for a few days to warm up.
- I've been meal planning like a mofo. Which means lots of savings $$ (that I've in turn been spending on happy hours instead) and food pictures to share.
So now that's all out of the way, I'll try to keep up with the exciting events in my life (ha!). Don't worry, I'll post some pictures from Orlando to make you all jealous on Wednesday
Entry-Level Worker Bee
|October 20, 2014
|Filled under Working
I've had three "big girl" jobs since finishing grad school and each one has provided plenty of new and valuable learning experiences. Aside from learning my industry and specific job-related skills, my greatest takeaways from these positions have been less content-focused and more about growing as a person. There is something to be said for still being entry-level, even with 3-5 years of experience under your belt.
I look back at the employee I was a year or two ago and I'm not super pleased with myself. I was too fast, mistake-prone, easily offended and stubborn. I couldn't understand why no one would listen to my ideas or if they did listen, why they would then take them and change them. And I couldn't understand why people didn't value what I had to say.
I recognize that as "the new guy," my main job for the first few months at these jobs was to learn. But a year into both, I still felt undervalued (by some, not all). Maybe it was the environments at these jobs that I was working in or maybe it was my own lack of confidence. Or maybe it was the combination of the two feeding each other. Regardless, the change I see in myself now is incredible. This new job has either come at a time when I've finally figured myself out as an employee or finally provided the environment I need to grow into the employee I want to be. Honestly, it's probably both.
The biggest thing I've noticed is that I'm not second guessing throwing my thoughts and opinions in the ring. I feel respected, or at least acknowledged, for my specialty and experience that I bring to the table. People expect me to chime in – and I actually do!
A year ago, I never would have felt comfortable sending an email out questioning the grammar on our materials. They were the higher-ups and if they didn't see it, maybe I was wrong…so I just kept quiet. I wasn't putting my ideas out there. I was just the behind-the-scenes hamster spinning the wheels and to do exactly as I was told–no more, no less. Now I realize how ridiculous I was being.
People hire you to a job not just for your skills, but for your ideas. You have to speak up in the workplace. And you have to work in a place where you feel comfortable doing so. In previous jobs, I kept quiet because I was too intimidated to join the conversation. Now I think I feel more comfortable and I've started to join in.
What I'm saying is this: don't just be a worker bee getting things done quietly. Have ideas. Be creative. Bring something to the table. Otherwise, you'll never get promoted to head worker bee, or eventually, queen.

Resisting the Change
|October 16, 2014
|Filled under Living the Dream, Rant
Have you ever read one of those self-improvement articles online, either on Zen Habits or Tiny Buddha or some random blog, about how to be more patient or be less negative or unlearn bad habits?
I am constantly reading these articles and I feel like I'm always think the same thing as I scroll through, looking for the bold words that the author has arbitrarily identified as the points of the article.
I'm always thinking, "this doesn't apply to me."
I feel like I deal with my negative thoughts and my bad moods just fine. Or at least, right now I'm fine so that particular article isn't relevant to me. And it struck me today while I was going through Tiny Buddha's list of top 100 articles that telling myself that these articles are irrelevant to me and my situation is completely defeating their purpose.
No one wrote these articles with me in mind. They wrote them probably with themselves in mind, or someone close to them, or for some imaginary person that they base all of their articles on.
Reading these articles is about finding something you can take away and use in your own life. Finding every reason why they don't apply perfectly to your situation isn't helping your and it's defeating the purpose of trying to improve yourself in the first place. It's about finding from these articles what YOU can use. And it's about not fighting back against the idea that you might need to change.
Heck, I WANT to change, improve and grow, and I still find myself fighting back.
It makes sense that we want to fight the idea of change, even if we want to be better people. But I think being aware of it is the first step in letting something new into our lives.
No matter how often I say I want to meet new people and make more friends, I've been resistant to really getting close to people. Part of it might be habit or fear, but it's important to recognize this feeling and push past it.
I'll never – we'll never – get better if we don't.

Food {Lately}
|October 9, 2014
|Filled under Fooding
Okay, this is a long one! I've been trying out a bunch of fun recipes lately and I've definitely found some keepers to throw into the weekly rotation!
I think my biggest challenge to take on when it comes to food is portion size. I either make too much food and never finish the leftovers (if they aren't *quite enough* for lunch), or the food tastes so good that I just keep going back for more. I'm doing by best to eat as frugally as possible and multiple servings in one sitting (when I really don't need another helping) is definitely not frugal. But it just tastes so good! Gah! The struggle is real.
I was feeling fancy one weekend so I made sweet crepes for my guests! Big hit. Recipe here.
And it's that time of year again when I start to whip out my favorite hearty breakfasts at work! This is especially nice now since I'm biking to work and it jump starts my metabolism. I'm starving by the time I get in! Savory oatmeal really does the trick — no seriously, try it!
1/2 c oatmeal
1 Egg
Salt & Pepper
Lunch & Dinner
Roasted zucchini, corn and black bean tacos! YUM! Recipe here.
Went on a pretty successful Indian adventure! Dal Nirvana & 5-minute Naan. LOVE this one. I officially love cooking with coconut milk and fresh ginger.
Curried Beef and potatoes! (except I used turkey! :] ) Recipe here.
This was a kitchen sink recipe…whatever I had in my fridge/cupboard! Quinoa, peas, tomatoes, kidney beans, sausage..it wasn't half bad! (but a little over-salted…oops)
See what I mean about serving size?! I need smaller plates. Tilapia with rice and beans and a side salad. I was sooo full, but soooo happy.
Just for Fun
This is some DELICIOUS real Indian food that I had delivered from the most magical new place that opened up two blocks from my house. Could not be more excited about this. The only problem is there's $25 delivery minimum and I feel like a fatty when I order $30 worth of Indian food for myself… oops. #sorrynotsorry
Also, my new favorite dessert is grilled peaches and ice cream! Can it please be summer forever?

IN Refresh {Review}
|October 7, 2014
|Filled under Product Review, Running
Oh man, this review is a LONG time coming. I was actually sent this product before my hiatus, so I apologize for it taking me so long to finally get it up. But I can say with absolute certainty that this is a product I fully support, especially during the warm weather months and now that it's peak season for races.
I should preface by saying that I am a BIG believer in electrolyte drinks. I can't stand gatorade or any especially sugary sports drinks, but I can tell a significant difference in my workouts when I replenish with any kind of electrolyte drink. For a long time, I've been using the MIO fit water enhancers with electrolytes, but they still taste super sugary and synthetic to me.
So when I was approached by Ignite Naturals to do a review of their product, IN Refresh Electrolytes, I was excited. For me, finding a non-sugary, refreshing drink to have during and after workouts is critical.
They have a good variety of flavors. I've tried all of them and can say that they are ALL good. I don't have a favorite. Not too sugary, subtle flavors that didn't turn me off while drinking them. Your options are:
Dragonfruit Lemon Lime
Tangerine Passion Fruit
Kona Blend
Prickly Pear
And while I haven't been running as much recently, I've been playing a lot of soccer and the weather has been HOT this year, so having these drinks has been incredible.
My team actually had playoffs recently (because we're awesome) and ended up having to play two games back to back. I fully expected to feel like death, but having IN Refresh instead of just straight water was an absolute life saver. I was tired, sure, but I didn't feel like I was going to die and I didn't experience ANY cramping which usually happens when I have more sugary drinks.
And for the price, you get a pretty good deal! Personally, I would opt for the 10-pack variety box so you can try all the flavors. I like to mix it up and wouldn't want the same one every time, but you definitely get the better deal with the one-flavor tub. Plus, it's easier to make the drinks as weak or as strong as you need.
Get 10% off your order! [CODE: IN00362]
But seriously, I can't speak highly enough about what a difference electrolyte drinks make when you're working out. You may not think you need it, but you know that light-headed feeling you get after you've been working out. Even after you have a full meal, you just haven't quite recovered? Try one of these and you'll be amazed how much better you feel!
Check out the IN Refresh nutrition facts here.
I'm actually a little embarrassed by how long it took me to figure out how to properly recover after a workout…..but at least I'm on the right track now!

What's Important?
|October 3, 2014
|Filled under City Living, Living the Dream
Every so often I go through these mini personal check-ins to see where I am in my life. And I'm almost always pleasantly surprised.
6 months ago I was living at home with my parents.
6 months ago I was working at a job that wasn't giving me what I needed.
6 months ago I felt like I was constantly teetering on the edge of a total meltdown.
And now?
I have a great living situation (even if the house isn't quite what I want long-term).
I LOVE my new job. It's a great move personally and professionally, and I'm excited every day to get up and go into the office.
And generally, I feel really comfortable with my life. Sure, there are still some things that I get anxious about, but I don't feel like every day is a battle to not completely lose my mind.
It's these little reflections that make me feel like I'm moving in the right direction. It may not be the direction I thought I was going to take, but it's the one I'm on and it's working out just fine. But now, since things have improved and changed, it's time to take another look at what's really important in my life and keep moving toward accomplishing my goals and dreams.
So I mustache the question….
What's important to me?
Right now, I think the thing I value most is my relationships with people those I feel close to, or would like to be closer with. My biggest fear is feeling alone in the city, but no matter where I am, it's easy to feel alone. So I want to foster and build my relationships with people who are here and also those who aren't. That's definitely my #1 priority right now. I want to be surrounded by wonder people that I feel close to. Ain't nothing wrong with that!
I think my own personal improvement is also still on this list. I am really trying with Spanish these days! (No, really!) and I'm clearly trying to get back into blogging more regularly (yay!) and I want to start reading and writing fiction again (it's time). And I want to stay as physically fit and healthy as I can. (It's a long-term investment in myself!)
And I still have international travel on my radar. Now that I have the time and the savings for it, it's time to take advantage of the world. Just need to find the right people to travel with….but lord help me if I keep using that as an excuse not to go…
Finally, I think I want to start contributing to the world in some way. I always thought that if I focused on improving myself, eventually I would transition into also giving back and contributing to the world, but now I'm thinking maybe I was looking at it backwards. Maybe doing some good in the world will do some good for me. Either way, doing good is something I'd like to add to my plate. (The only downside being that all the places I want to volunteer only have times available while I'm at work! d'oh!)

Watch my cat do something silly
|October 1, 2014
|Filled under Living the Dream
Happy October! I'm still struggling to accept that fall is here, even if it is cloud and rainy outside. It's still like, 75-80 degrees everyday. MAKE UP YOUR MIND, WEATHER!
But I digress, Fall is here wither I want it to be or not. At least it comes with other perk! Like a visit from The Professor! He came to stay with me for a few days while my parents were out of town and, of course, spent most of his time with me getting into trouble any way he could.
Cup of water? Yeah, that's getting knocked over.
Oh, you wanted these piles of stuff organized on your desk? Now they're on the floor.
Saturdays are for sleeping in? Not anymore! I need attention NOW!
It was wonderful to have him around again, since I missed his furry little butt, but there are few things I don't miss about having a cat around. And considering he isn't much of a cuddler, he wasn't helping his case by lovin' up on me.
And now, here he is doing something stupid…like getting stuck in a the couch cushions.
Ooooo, what's in here?
Seems awful deep….
Uh oh….
He stayed there for a good twenty minutes before finally wiggling his way out. Silly cats being silly.
Awww, I miss him so much Maybe it's time for a visit home!

Food! Fresh fruits and veggies = amazing meals. Here are some of the more colorful things I've been enjoying recently!
Two eggs over a potato and vegetable scramble! Best way to start the day.
Workday breakfast. Peaches with Kashi cereal and almond milk. And coffee. Always coffee.
Tilapia filets have been on sale at the store recently so I've been enjoying some tasty fishies. Always paired with a pasta and veggies! mmmm

Time to Fall
|September 23, 2014
|Filled under City Living, Living the Dream
I guess it's time to finally embrace the fact that summer is just about over and fall is here. It seems days of 90+ degree weather is behind us and we're enjoying nights in the 50s and 60s, and days in the 70s. So, basically the most perfect weather ever. It's sort of hard to complain.
Maybe it was the incredibly long winter last year that has kept me stubbornly grasping at the idea of an endless summer, or maybe it's because the coming fall means a lot of changes. Either way, I've never been so reluctant for my favorite season to arrive.
Still, the idea of pumpkin everything, candles, scarves, boots and apple picking has me feeling good. There is just something about this season that makes me want to nest – just bunker down for some cozy time at home.
It's a bittersweet time of year. So many people I care about are leaving and that makes me incredibly sad. Off to school. Off to new jobs. Off to new lives. Some I will see again, others I probably won't. But it's also my first fall in the city truly living on my own. I am incredibly motivated and fulfilled by my job. I finally feel capable to being a functional adult – bettering myself while having a good time.
It's a good time (with all this change) to start building some new habits (or to fall back into some old ones.)
I wanted to point out a couple of cool websites I've been playing on this week, one I've used before and one I only just discovered.
First, I love Chains.cc. It's an accountability app that uses the old Seinfeld methodology of "Don't break the chain!" I used their religiously for a while, but stopped suddenly and have just now rediscovered it. And so many fun new features! It's great for keeping a record of how often you do the things you want to do, and those loooong breaks in the chains are sometimes enough to motivate you to finally start doing something again.
These are the chains I've listed that I'd like to keep up with. We'll see how it goes! Obviously, not all of these will get done every day, but being able to see what I'm doing and what I'm not doing will be helpful regardless.
And second, for all my gaming friends, you'll appreciate this: HabitRPG.
This is easily one of the coolest things I've seen on the internet recently. It's a lot like Fitocracy, but with even more functionality in terms of daily tasks, To-Dos, and habits you want to encourage. Plus, there is a pretty decent social aspect and who doesn't want to level up and create awesome characters!?! I haven't played RPGs in a long time, but they still hold a very special place in my heart. And I'm a big fan of instant gratification, so this helps with that as well.
Between the two, I will probably try to keep up with Chains and will eventually stop using HabitRPG, but I thought it was super fun and wanted to point it out. And if in a few months, I'm still toying around in there, then that's just a testament to how fun of a product it is!
Happy Fall!

Patrick, welcome. I think when you consider that even if these actions, as you imply, only represent 1%, 5%, or even just 10% of Muslims, you are still talking about literally tens of millions of people. By any measure these are not, therefore, the actions of "a few." -Cheers! -Mike, friendly atheist.

Absolutely correct!
Islam has shown a blatant disregard for human life.
Human life that is sacred even if one's religion is offended.
Islam is about the greed for power. This is very scary news. We must elect Mitt Romney.
And all countries must stand up against this disgusting evil which is spreading like wildfire.
Let us all pray for the safety of all foreigners and minorities in the Middle East.
And of course, pray for His Holiness who is traveling to Lebanon!
God be with him!

Let's mention that Muslims can justify lying if it favours islam. We, Catholics, know that lying is wrong. Nothing can justify it. That being said you understand why the radical muslim that now leads Egypt told the Western World what the Western World wants to hear. On the other hand, he supports the hatred mob in his country. Not to mention the permanent persecution of our Christian Brothers and Sisters in Egypt who have lived in THEIR land from thousands of years.
Sir Obama's priorities are abortion and homosexual marriage... what a program.

To answer the question posed in your headline, yes; America is stupid. WW III began just over 11 years ago. A mere two years after the 9/11 attack country singer Darryl Worley asked the question "Have You Forgotten?" Yes, we have forgotten. And we have believed the lies not only of our enemies, but of their useful idiots here in the States in the media and in the government. WAKE UP, AMERICA! RETURN TO GOD!

Patrick, you are so right. I also had hoped that the Catholic Church would maintain a level of wisdom in this dark time, and resist the forces that are pushing America into war. The true risk to America is not Islam. Here is a site that may be of interest to you and to other thoughtful people who don't want to blindly follow the trumpets of war chanting "us against them - us against them".

WWIII has not started. As long as there is no exchange of thousands of ICBMs between Russia and the USA it has not started.

Kasoy: These radicals will never go away whether you cut funding for them or not. They have one goal in mind and that is domination. They hate anyone who is not a Muslim. This war will go on until Jesus comes back. They will have our submission to Islam or they will kill us. Plain and simple. They have been a thorn in America's side since Thomas Jefferson, maybe even before. That's why Thomas Jefferson had and read the Qur'an. He was not a Muslim as some people might think, he was a Christian. He just wanted to learn why Muslims were like they are. I wish you were right but it ain't gonna happen. "He (Ishmael and his descendants) shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against everyone, and everyone's hand against him, in opposition to all his kin shall he encamp." Gen. 16:12 God bless.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
