Two weeks ago during my "mom's group" meeting at church, one of the mothers explained that in the book she was reading, the author encourages the readers to look for and enjoy the "sunsets" in their lives…The things that remind you how beautiful life is.
As a new mom, it's easy for my days to become a blur of feedings, diapers and… well… more feedings. I know this time with my new little family is infinitely precious and full of once in a lifetime moments I want to be fully present for, so for last two weeks, I have made a conscious effort to start "clocking" and really soaking up my sunsets…
My son's smile
A cross country visit from my big sister.
Sunday lunch with my husband while the sun shines on us.
Homemade pumpkin bread that makes my hubby happy.
A killer pair of shoes.
An afternoon stroll along the water with my son.
Iced coffee from Philz Coffee.
Fresh Flowers.
Amazing friends that fly in from all over the country to meet our newborn.
My weekly "Moms Group" meeting.
A good Doctors report.
Brunch with husband and sister watching the hustle of tourists and locals at the Ferry Building.
My son, my son, my son!
I love my sunsets…
I'm so glad I'm finally taking time to watch the sunsets. I have so much to be thankful for…

Dear Cash,
Today you are ONE MONTH OLD! Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday we found out we were pregnant! It's been a month of firsts for you and for us…
After your birth, you and daddy went to do the essentials with the Pediatrician: height, weight, bath, and your first shot… all the important stuff to keep you healthy and safe. You and I were reunited in the recovery room, and from that moment, I haven't left your side. The hospital was pretty uneventful for you. You slept the entire time! Your father and I would stare at you and wait for you to wake up, even for a second, so we could hold you and love on you. You proved to be a prenatal nurse favorite. They all told us how "cute" you were and that you were "such a good baby." Obviously, we agreed!
When we came home you made things very easy on us!
My favorite time with you is feeding time, especially in the middle of the night when it's just you and me, and you are sleepy and needy and hold on to my hand as you nurse. You make all kinds of funny noises… lots of grunting and a sound your father and I have yet to define. We agree it sounds very similar to Woody The Woodpecker's laugh!
You take after your dad when it comes to timing. You are ready to eat every three hours to the minute (never late for a meal).
You take after me in the morning. You're a little fussy, but it doesn't last two long.
You are a very big boy. Your doctor says your growth is "off the charts." In fact, you never were able to wear any of your newborn clothing. At one month old, you are in sizes 3-6 months.
You LOVE bath time, long walks in your stroller, car rides and falling asleep on my lap. You love when your daddy raps to you (go figure) and when mommy sings "You Are My Sunshine." You are mesmerized by Nana's voice (she helped take care of you all month) and are prayed for by many friends and family members all over the country.
I steel as many kisses from you as possible because I know there will come a day when you say, "Mom, stop kissing me."
One small request sweet boy… Please don't grow up too fast!
We love you very much! Welcome to the world, and Happy One Month, Cash!
Sweet Baby Boy Adventures
As little boys begin to grow,
you find they're always on the go.
Imagining that they might be
off sailing far across the sea.
Or driving sports cars in a race,
then flying rockets into space…
They'd rather play than take a nap,
and tend to squirm when on a lap,
preferring mud and catching bugs
to getting kissed or giving hugs.
But that times still a while away,
and peekaboo's the game to play…
For now, just hold that sweet boy tight,
enjoying every new delight,
each coo, each laugh, each little grin,
with each new day that you begin -
A busy world of fun for you
has just arrived in baby blue.
- author unknown
thank you nana…

When I was little I thought my mom had magic hands. I never told her because I didn't want to ruin the magic. I can remember, if I had a stomachache, I would ask her to "rub my tummy," and the minute she did, I instantly felt better.
Thirty some years later, the magic still exists. As I came out of my c-section surgery 3 weeks ago, she was there to hold my hand, and once again, I instantly felt better.
Throughout my hospital recovery she never left my side. She was there helping me brush my hair, wash my face or talking me through the pain. When my mom is around I always feel safe and loved.
My mom flew across the country, not just because she wanted to meet her new grandson, but because she is a MOTHER, and being a mother is a job that never ends. Caring for me (and my husband) 3000 miles away from her family and friends is really how she spent the last month of her life. She rarely got to pick up the baby as she was busy walking our dog, cooking us food, running to the grocery store, tending to my pain, cleaning the house, doing the laundry and taking out the trash.
With a healthy baby in my arms and a successful c section recovery… it was time for her to head back to Pittsburgh to take care of her other grand kids, daughters, husband and friends… She left on Saturday morning. Devin took her to airport early in the morning, and when I woke up and saw her bags where out of the bathroom and the living room, I felt an overwhelming sense of emptiness.
Devin and I seem to be finding our stride to the best of our ability without her here, and we are adjusting to not having the extra hands in the house. We have also tried to adjust to not having the extra love, support and kindness she brought into our house, however, we have been less successful at that. In fact, there are moments of quiet in the apartment, and we both will recognize how much we miss her and needed her.
We both miss her terribly… And I KNOW Cash misses her too.
Mom – Thank you for selflessly giving more than a month of your life to take care of us. I know it wasn't the glamorous trip to California that I promised. We are forever grateful to you and miss you… and your obsession with Pittsburgh, your need to play board games and "Words With Friends" all the time, your ability to talk through every movie and TV SHOW, your fascination with burping the baby and your need to have food made "your way"… But most of all, we miss your cooking :) and your positive outlook on our progress as parents and your ability to make everyone in the house (even the cat and dog) feel so LOVED! Thank you for teaching us so many valuable lessons! We love and miss you.
My mom is an amazing cook! She spent a month cooking us dinners and lunches… so I thought it is only fitting to include one of her specialty recipes in this post!
Nana's Chicken Piccata
2-4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp grate parmesan cheese
1/3 cup of flour
salt and pepper
4 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp of butter
1/2 cup chicken stock or dry white wine
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup of capers
1/4 cup of fresh parsley
put chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with meat hammer to 1/4″ thickness
mix flour, salt, petter and parmesan. rinse the chicken in water and then dredge them thoroughly in the flour mixture until coated.
heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet on medium. add half of the chicken, do not crowd the pan. brown well on each side (at least 3 min. per side). remove the chicken from the pan and then repeat with other chicken breasts. cover with foil to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
add the chicken stock (or white wine), lemon juice, and capers to pan. use spatula to scrape up the browned bits. reduce the sauce by half, whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. plate the chicken and serve with sauce poured over the chicken. sprinkle with parsley
*** when my mom makes it, she serves it over angel hair… ENJOY
our son, Cash…

On September 25th, 2014 at 10:34 a.m. our son Preston Cash Hanna was born!
During week 38 of my pregnancy Cash started to make his way "down and out"… however our busy little boy got a little turned around (he obviously gets his sense of direction from his dad) and ended up in the breech position by week 39. Since we were towards the end of the pregnancy our doctor set us up for a scheduled cesarian.
So on September 25th we entered the hospital at 8:00 a.m. and four days later we walked out of the hospital with a gift from God.
Our lives are now changed forever, and for the better.
We would like for you to meet Cash.
Cash was born in San Francisco, CA at CPMC
It was an amazing experience and we are grateful to the doctors, nursers and staff for all their help, insight and care.
Bringing Cash home from the hospital was so exciting (and scary).
Thank God Nana (my mom) who was visiting from Pittsburgh, PA didn't get a return plane ticket…
We are so grateful to have her here with us… to help us… to cook for us… to clean for us… but most importantly to love on our little man. Cash loves Nana
Everyday we learn from our son.
Everyday we are humbled by this blessing.
And everyday we get a little more sleep.
Psalm 127:3
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.
I am so in love!
our baby picnic…
Posted on August 23, 2014 2 Comments
The Party
After spending the last 6 months either in LA for auditions or on the road for work, Devin and I met in Pittsburgh to finally celebrate the blessing of this pregnancy with some of our closest friends and family.
My mom and sisters helped me to throw an amazing baby picnic… while my husband smiled and shook his head every time I asked if we could add to the "budget" (he is convinced I don't know what that word means). I have the most supportive family in the world, and Devin and I are constantly amazed and humbled by their selflessness and desire to help us, travel to celebrate with us and support us…
This party was no exception… from making lemonade, to picking up cupcakes and lawn games my ideal "baby party" was realized.
(click on the photos to view slide show or to enlarge)
Thank you to our amazing family and friends for your love, support and generosity.
Some of our favorite people were there… from childhood and high school besties to our amazing and supportive familys. Not to mention some of our best friends from New York made the trip to Pittsburgh for this special party.
The day was filled with gorgeous weather, lawn games, kid activities and much more…
While visiting with my Uncle Joe during the party he said "I have one bone to pick with you about your blog… you build your husband up so much he makes all of us other husbands look bad."
Sorry Uncle Joe he really is that great!
I thank God everyday for Devin (and not just because he is so stinking cute) but he makes life so much better… so much easier… so much more fun… and he puts up with me.
Devin, I am so excited to start our family! I love you!
special thanks to Patty & Jim Yeschenko, Gene & Laurie Suprano, Dave & Debbie Hanna, Michael & Jennifer Callahan and Jenine Suprano and Chris for their help and/or contributions.
8 months pregnant…
Posted on August 4, 2014 1 Comment
As we anxiously await the arrival of our first baby… I'm introduced to a whole new world… and I'm not talking about diapers and breast feeding… I've got 8 weeks before I need to think about that…
I'm talking about…
Swollen ankles, the frequent trips to the bathroom, the need to eat ALL THE TIME, a short fuse (my poor husband), hot flashes and bras that don't fit (among many OTHER things).
Being pregnant is kind of like "Fight Club"… My friends (with kids) have no problem telling me what they had for dinner yesterday but neglected to tell me of some of the less critical yet extremely gross and lets be honest "weird" changes that happen when one becomes pregnant. I'll spare you all of the disgusting details, but in short… finding a bra and underwear that fit would be great– the amount of money I have spent on clothes and undergarments is ridiculous (just ask my husband). Also, my thighs touch… my right thigh and left thigh are officially best friends… yesterday I cried for 35 minutes just because I was hungry … and don't get me started on the "do's and don'ts of pregnancy"… everyone wants to tell you what you should and shouldn't do or what you should and shouldn't eat… body lotions, fruits, meat, juice, milk… they are all on some sort of a list… And thats just the physical aspect of my pregnancy… now that i'm getting closer to my due date… there isn't a day that goes by where I don't research a stroller, car seat, or breast pump… it's all so confusing that It's quite comical… why aren't there more movies and television shows about this?!? (note to self… write a movie about pregnancy and don't leave out any details).
All that being said…
When I crawl in to bed at night- to sleep on my LEFT side as "What To Expect When You Are Expecting" suggests- there is nothing more magical, more reassuring and more beautiful than feeling our baby boy move, kick and stretch. He and I are connected at all times and I know that wont last forever… so for nine months I'll gladly take ankles the size of my knees, a hardy appetite, large and in charge thighs, hot flashes, and emotions that I can't control or understand.
I love our little man… and can't wait to meet him!
what are your intentions?
Posted on July 29, 2014 1 Comment
What are your motivations?
Are you adding love and positivity into the world or drama and conflict?
If there is anything I've learned through the years, it's that expectations, intentions and motivations can break relationships and hearts.
When I was growing up and was grounded or disciplined, it was usually deserved… back talking, a bad test score, etc… typical disciplinarian actions. I would take the grounding (that normally didn't last too long), pout about it for a day or so, and then bounce back knowing that what I did was "wrong" and that the grounding was necessary. However, there was another "disciplinarian action" that took place in my house that wasn't so easy to bounce back from… this was when my parents sat me down to let me know their "disappointment" in me and my actions. These conversations always hit me hard. Hearing my dad (or coach or teacher) say he or she was "disappointed in me" always shook me to my core. So it's no surprise that as I get older and friends or family members disappoint me with their intentions, motivations or lack of concern and care, I once again get shaken to the core. It often gets to the point where I take things too personally.
It makes me question these relationships, and if they are even worth having.
At the end of the day, shouldn't it be as simple as what our parent, guardian or kindergarten teacher taught us when we were kids… "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".
Of course as we get older I understand it's not always so black and white and this elementary lesson becomes more complex and may be interpreted as: If you aren't adding positivity or support to a situation, take yourself out of it.
And while honesty is key to self-improvement, especially with a spouse, best friend or family member, it should be addressed in a mature conversation. Don't use the eye for an eye method, revenge, social media or other tactics to ask questions, get results or inspire others to be better. Have a good old fashion conversation.
We should all strongly consider the relationships in our life. If you find yourself stirring up trouble, drama or wanting to see pain or failure or cause conflict in a situation that does or doesn't involve you, it may be time to reevaluate your actions. Does that person or situation remind you of something you dislike in yourself (i.e. Carl Jung's "Shadow" theory… look it up… it's fascinating)? Are you unhappy, and therefore, want to cause unhappiness? Do you believe in an eye for an eye mentality, and if so, where does that get you? Are you jealous of the other persons happiness or success?
Look, we are all human, and if I'm being completely honest, I can tell you that at one time or another in my life I have felt all of those things. However, now that I am finding more and more peace within my life, and who I am and what I have to offer… IF I find myself feeling one of those things towards someone or a situation I walk away and do nothing… While the ultimate goal is to not even have those feelings, I understand that I am flesh and blood, and sometimes I fail… but I am not going to let my lack of personal progress cause drama in someone else's life. I'm not going to pry, get involved, stir up trouble or nudge someone else to fail either. The trick it to not cause anyone else pain, drama or anger while I'm working on myself. I take myself out of the situation, bite my tongue, pray, let go, move on, have a non confrontational conversation… whatever it takes. While it's not always easy, it does make it easier to rest my head on my pillow at night, knowing my intentions and motivations are pure and full of love.
So I ask you again… what are your intentions and motivations behind your actions?

I remember the first time I heard that word… I was so confused.
When my friend, Rachel, brought it up in a conversation about friends having babies, I was totally lost… A baby what?? She sensed my confusion and quickly explained what a "Babymoon" is. To be completely honest, I found the idea a bit pretentious… Babymoon: Your last solo vacation without kids as husband and wife.
I remember thinking: (a) I'm going to travel with my kids, so who needs one last "hurrah?" and (b) I hope I marry someone that wants to continue to date me and travel with me — with or without our kids. What's the point?!?
Cut to four years later… I married the man of my dreams, and we are pregnant with our first baby. The first thing we did… was plan our babymoon. In fact, we started planning our babymoon on our honeymoon, and we weren't even expecting yet.
While the word is silly, and let's face it… a bit pretentious, I totally get it. It's not about being selfish. It's not about "alone" time. It's not about lavish or extravagant trips. It's not about one last "hurrah." It's about disconnecting from reality for a moment, so that you and your spouse can reconnect and communicate about the changes, expectations and preparations for your upcoming bundle of joy.
We recently returned from our babymoon, and I now understand the "word" and concept more than ever. My husband will look for any reason to plan a vacation so it's safe to say he too embraced the word and the R&R.
We went to Maui on our "babymoon," and it was breathtaking and perfect. It reminded me how lucky I am to be married to Devin and how blessed we are to be able to start a family!
Every time I look at the photos from the trip I am filled with instant happiness. I have a full heart, not just because I spent a week in Hawaii, but because it was a celebration of what's to come… The blessing of starting our own family.
Here is to our Babymoon, our baby and the celebration of life!
Some highlights from the trip:
The amazing Andaz Resort!
The food was incredible EVERYWHERE we went (and so were the non-alcoholic drinks)
Our Hawaii trip included many "firsts"… from surfing lessons to a traditional Hawaiian luau
As I get older… it seems like things get harder…

Remember when you were a kid and the toughest decision you would face all month was who you would sit by at lunch or what movie you and your friends would chose to see over the weekend or what prom dress you "had to have?" I remember "Adults" telling me my early years were the best years of my life and that "being an adult was hard." However, being the "know-it-all" that I was/am, I never believed those people. I just fixed my eyes on how one day when I was an adult, I would be able to eat as much cereal as I wanted whenever I wanted, and that I would be able to stay up as late as I wanted during week days.
Now that I am an "adult," the truth is… eating cereal causes me to instantly gain weight and feel bad about myself and staying up late just one night causes me to be tired for an entire week. I think it's safe to say I wish I could go back to the days of worrying about prom dates, homework and arguing with my sisters…
Being an adult can be a bit overwhelming… In fact, my capacity to worry is at an all time high.
I'm a fan of taking ownership. One of my pet peeves is when people blame others for their problems or don't take ownership for their mistakes or short-comings, so even though I'm pregnant and everyone keeps telling me I'm feeling "emotional" because of my hormones, I'd like to take ownership of my feelings and believe that pregnancy hasn't messed with my brain and emotions too much. However, I will admit everything seems to be hitting me so hard lately. Everything seems to make me worry; getting on a plane, leaving Nemo (world's greatest dog) as I go on yet another work trip, leaving Devin (world's greatest husband) as I set up shop on the east coast to avoid cross country travel at 29 weeks pregnant… I worry about being far from my parents, far from my sisters, far from my nephews. I worry about ordering the wrong thing on the menu, or saying something to one of my students or friends that could hurt their feelings or upset them… I worry that I'm not talking to my unborn son enough or focusing on preparing for his arrival. I worry about the swelling of my ankles, sleeping too much or sleeping too little, what car seat to buy, what laundry detergent is safest… it's all so overwhelming… where did the worry come from?
Today is particularly a hard day for me. I've been traveling since the day I found out I was pregnant. Shortly before that we got married, moved across the country and changed everything we knew about our day to day lives. The truth is, I'm tired… I'm tired of being away from my husband and my family who, coincidentally, are on separate coasts of our country. I'm tired of worrying. I'm tired of the unknown, and I'm tired of my lack of strength right now…
If my sisters or friends called me with these worries or woes, I would tell them to pray about everything and to try and change their thought. I would say "acknowledge how you are feeling, but remind yourself what the truth is…" I.E. yes, I'm tired and I miss my husband, but I love my job, my circumstances are only temporary and I'll be home before I know it… I would remind my friends and sisters that ultimately we are out of control, and therefore, it's best to enjoy every moment you have. It all seems so logical and obvious that this is the way we should live our lives, but right now I can't wrap my brain around those thoughts… so instead I called my mom and complained a bit… prayed a bit… cried a bit… stayed in bed a little longer than I should have… yelled at my husband over the phone at 7am his time… and ate an entire box of cereal. You know, all very logical and responsible things to do. Then I wrote this post hoping that it will provide a little release… a little ease… and a little sanity.
My sister Jennifer…
Posted on June 13, 2014 7 Comments
Today is my sister Jennifer's wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary to her and my amazing brother-in-law, Mike!
She has been married for 16 years!!!
It seems like just yesterday I sang at her wedding in my slate grey, cowl neck bridesmaid dress with pearl chocker, matching elbow length gloves and French twist up-do… (it was the 90's so it worked). In any case, she looked radiant that day in her form fitting, white, beaded, high neck, open back mermaid gown and big billowing wedding veil… absolutely stunning!
My oldest sister, Jennifer, is a force to reckoned with. She was the first born, and therefore, she had it tougher than me (the youngest) and Jenine (the middle). Her curfew was at 10pm, verses Jenine's 11pm curfew and my… well "what curfew." She had to get straight A's. She had to be active, respectful and succefful. She had to be someone her younger sisters could look up to. She had to do everything first and set the example and pave the road for Jenine and I. She had four years with my parents all to herself. My mom tells me stories of how much time the first born gets… how much attention to detail. Not that my parents didn't love Jenine and I as much as they loved Jen or pay as much attention to us…it's just she was thier "first" and that meant she was an only child for four years. They were delicate with her. They spent every day teaching her and learning from her, and they groomed herfor great things… and boy did she deliver.
There was never a day that I was not proud of my big sister, Jen. Almost
ten years older than me, she was more of a second mother than a sister. In
fact, I can't recall a single fight we had growing up, but I can recall her
doing my set of chores so I didn't cry, giving up the bigger better piece
of ice cream cake, slipping me twenty dollar bills every chance she had,
sticking up for me during family fights, letting me be a part of any pool
party she had out back, and smiling at everything I did or "attempted" to
do. She was a wonderful big sister and set quite the example for me and Jenine.
Jennifer was born on September 28th. My mom's first born came into this
beautiful world on September 28th. When the doctor told me that my first
baby was due on September 28th, the first person I thought of was my big
sister Jennifer. Joy filled my heart as I thought about my sister and her
tenacity, love, determination, perfectionism, morals, values and not to
mention, the gorgeous life she created. She has an amazing husband and is
raising two perfect boys.
I pray that my first born will follow in the footsteps of my
mothers first born. Here is to the countdown to September 28th. Here is to
my sister Jennifer, the first born. Here is to the first born. May God
bless him with Jennifer's drive, intelligence, determination and

Kathleen Paice 315 464-4839
Validation therapy expert to speak at SUNY Upstate Alzheimer's conference June 9
SYRACUSE, N.Y.- Naomi S. Feil, an internationally recognized expert on Alzheimer's Disease, will deliver the keynote address at SUNY Upstate Medical University's Alzheimer's 2005 conference June 9. The conference runs from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. at Justin's Grill and Conference Center, 6400 Yorktown Circle, East Syracuse.
Feil, executive director of the Validation Training Institute and author of The Validation Breakthrough: Simple Techniques for Communicating with People with Alzheimer's-type Dementia (Health Professions Press, 2002) will lead a validation therapy workshop designed to teach communication and acceptance.
Validation therapy helps those who are disoriented in the later stages of life by attempting to understand the emotions the patient is expressing. The therapy seeks to enable caregivers to respond to patients in a way that allows patients to express their emotions freely. Elderly people who are struggling to resolve issues before they die retreat into the past and are often brought closer to reality and security by the validation method. Validation therapy restores the patient's self-worth, reduces stress and anxiety and promotes communication and interaction with others.
The cost for health care professionals is $55; cost for caregivers is $45. To register, call 315-464-5167.

Yes, using an FBO provides a simple and elegant approach and is conveniently backwards compatible up to GL2.0 core. An alternative would be to draw your GUI elements on top of the 3D window every frame, or if you don't want to do that, using the stencil buffer or a discard mask when drawing the 3D scene.
For simplicity's sake, especially if you want to support all forms of shaders in your 3D scene (and you still want to do child/sibling window clipping on top of it), using an FBO is the simplest way to go.
You'd have the set up the FBO just like a regular window, set its viewport to the texture rect and just draw the scene. Don't worry about the texture copy - it's really cheap.
;) I thought so. I remember being annoyed with having to copy my texture, but if I do it right, I don't think the copy operation is actually required, although the GUI drawing would of course have to wait until after the scene is drawn, and I'll be unable to fire off all the primitives in one go. But that's a fair price to pay to be able to scale projections after rendering, besides being able to rotate everything.
I'm glad you advocate a solution allowing some backwards compatibility and easening the appearance of the overall structure. (Embedding a perspective projection inside an orthographic one seems messy, I think. )
In terms of transformations - I suggest providing the 3D scene its own transformation matrix stack and manage the GUI completely independently.
Note, however, that things get a little bit funkier if your 3D scene uses FBOs internally - just something to keep in mind.
Oh yes, about that.... Naah, I'll get around to it eventually, -But it's fun to imagine.
I picture GUIs rendered onto surfaces in space, and the space to be viewed as part of a GUI... Like ID did in Doom 3, just with no theoretical recursion maximum.

I'm kind of glad I did too - it's all well and good to know that I can easily walk three miles an hour on a treadmill, but it's totally different to do it in the hot sun with an eleven kilo bag on your back.

David Cameron on Letterman: his history test in full
David Cameron struggled with David Letterman's impromptu questions about British history. How would you do?
Who wrote 'Rule, Britannia!'?
Mr Cameron wrongly guessed at Edward Elgar. Letterman informed him that the song was actually based on a poem written by James Thomson and set to music by Thomas Arne in 1740.
In the days of colonisation, Britain really did rule the world. The sun never set on the empire. We look back on that as just awful don't we?
Mr Cameron said: "I think there were some good bits and some less than good bits. Obviously we had a bit of a falling out at that time. I like to think we're getting over it."...

Predictioneer: One Who Uses Maths, Science and the Logic of Brazen Self-interest to See and Shape the Future (Hardback)
|Hardback 272 pages
In stock
Usually despatched within 24 hours
Delivered FREE
in the UK
Bruce Bueno de Mesquita can predict the future. He is a master of game theory, a rather fancy name for a simple idea: when people compete with each other they always do what they think is in their own best interest. Bueno de Mesquita uses game theory to foretell - and even engineer - political, financial and personal events. In fact, Bueno de Mesquita's forecasts, for everyone from the CIA to major companies, have an astonishing ninety per cent success rate. In this startling and revelatory book, he describes his methods and allows us to play along. Bueno de Mesquita explores the origins of game theory as formulated by John Nash, the Nobel Prize-winner who became the subject of the film "A Beautiful Mind". He has developed Nash's ideas to create a rigorous and pragmatic system of calculation that enables us to think strategically about what our opponents want, how much they want it, and how they might react to our every move. Bueno de Mesquita applies his methods to many of the most pressing issues of our day. He advises how best to contain the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea. He shows how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict might be resolved. He explains how corporate fraud can be anticipated and prevented. He addresses climate change and international terrorism: their likely evolution and our most effective response. But, as Bueno de Mesquita makes clear, game theory isn't just for saving the world. It can also help in your own life - to succeed in a legal dispute, to advance your career or that of a colleague, and even to buy a car at the lowest possible price. Shrewd, provocative and original, "Predictioneer" will change your understanding of the world - both now and in the future. If life's a game, then Bruce Bueno de Mesquita is the one essential member of your team.

Think today's ads on TV are irritating? You ain't seen nothing yet:
I've discussed in the past how many people mistake privacy as some sort of absolute "thing" rather than a spectrum of trade-offs. Leaving your home to go to the store involves giving up a small amount of privacy, but it's a trade-off most people feel is worth it (not so much for some uber-celebrities, and then they choose other options). Sharing information with a website is often seen as a reasonable trade-off for the services/information that website provides. The real problem is often just that the true trade-offs aren't clear. What you're giving up and what you're getting back aren't always done transparently, and that's where people feel their privacy is being violated. When they make the decision consciously and the trade-off seems worth it, almost no one feels that their privacy is violated. Yet, when they don't fully understand, or when the deal they made is unilaterally changed, that's when the privacy is violated, because the deal someone thought they were striking is not what actually happened.
And, unfortunately, it often seems like people are increasingly being pressured into deals they don't fully understand and don't have full control over. Michael Price, over at the Brennan Center for Justice, took the time to actually read through the "privacy policy" on his new "smart" TV and it's terrified him. Just the fact that a TV even has a privacy policy seems oddly terrifying, but it makes sense, given that at least some information goes outbound as part of the "smarts." But how much? Potentially a lot more than people would expect:
The amount of data this thing collects is staggering. It logs where, when, how, and for how long you use the TV. It sets tracking cookies and beacons designed to detect "when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message." It records "the apps you use, the websites you visit, and how you interact with content." It ignores "do-not-track" requests as a considered matter of policy.
To some extent, that's not really all that different than a regular computer. But, then it begins to get creepier:
It also has a built-in camera — with facial recognition. The purpose is to provide "gesture control" for the TV and enable you to log in to a personalized account using your face. On the upside, the images are saved on the TV instead of uploaded to a corporate server. On the downside, the Internet connection makes the whole TV vulnerable to hackers who have demonstrated the ability to take complete control of the machine.
More troubling is the microphone. The TV boasts a "voice recognition" feature that allows viewers to control the screen with voice commands. But the service comes with a rather ominous warning: "Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party." Got that? Don't say personal or sensitive stuff in front of the TV.
You may not be watching, but the telescreen is listening.

Mean Doe Green - Shade Proof (No DJ Version)
Artist: Kahali Oden
Twitter: Kahali Oden on Twitter
Avg Rating: 4.8 ( 4 total votes )
Last week, Mean Doe Green released his new album Shade Proof, which serves as a follow-up to his DJBooth-hosted Hard Hats & Hand Grenades. The NO DJ version of the project is now available for free download via Audiomack.com.
According to Green, the album "pays homage to the 90's era of Hip Hop, when message and content was king." This is evident on Booth-approved stand out cut, "Thankful."
Joining the Sacramento native on Shade Proof are Arty Fresha, Chuuwee, Planet Asia and more.

Students Commit to Freedom of Expression at Convocation

Fall 2012 marked the fourth annual Cornish Convocation, as students gathered for the opening of the academic year at Seattle Unity Church, to greet one another and re-affirm their mutual respect as artists.
The gathering also marked the second annual signing of the Book of Commitment, a tradition that was begun in 2011 at the start of Cornish President Dr. Nancy Uscher's inaugural year. The book was passed across the aisles, for students, staff, and professors to sign their name to this statement of commitment to the Cornish community:
"I will maintain respect for the dignity and integrity of each person.
I will safeguard the practice of free and open expression.
I will accept personal accountability for my decisions and actions."
The first graduating class to attend all four Convocations will commence this Spring in 2013. As every year, the joy of seeing familiar faces after the Summer, and the anticipation of another year's art creation filled the room. 2012-2013 promises to be a good one!

Narrow your search
The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
Subtly improved and smartly refined, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superior superphone that hits every mark but the sharpest design.
The Samsung HU8550 offers our favorite combination of picture quality and features in a 4K TV this year, making it a good value despite the high price.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
The wildly ambitious Samsung Gear S smartwatch doubles as a full standalone smartphone, but the software and apps available don't let it do as much as you'd expect.
Samsung's swooshing Galaxy Note Edge is a triumph of novel design, but its high price tag and minimal extra usability make for a niche appeal.
Despite picture quality that's just average, the Samsung UNH6350's high-end features and design for a midrange price will win plenty of converts.
Will Samsung add a new member to the Galaxy family in 2014? Google is developing amazing new photo recognition tech and Lollipop is here for all Nexus devices.
With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.
Place your bets, folks. Which of these phablets will reign supreme in the battle of design, usability and productivity?
The Samsung HU9000 has straight-up great picture quality, design and features, but the gratuitous curved screen adds very little to the viewing experience and way too much to the price.

Boo! The House Majority PAC Is Watching You
Re:Here's why (468 comments)
Your "status card" is essentially recognition of the marriage by the government by another name. I have also barely scratched the surface of the issues. If the government doesn't recognize a marriage, then presumably it treats a "spouse's" inheritance as taxable income -- the US Supreme Court's first case on the question was over that very point (a lady in NY state died, the federal government's policy was to not recognize her state-recognized marriage to another lady, and thus the IRS wanted to tax the inheritance as income to the second woman). Maybe all inheritances should be tax-free, but a lot of people already seem sensitive over estate taxes now.
Government recognizes marriages for a lot of reasons, many relating to how much the two people are expected to rely on each other in case of hardship, and most of the rest relating to raising children. Even very good roommates are unlikely to share burdens in the same way, so it doesn't seem quite right to extend the current benefits of marriage to simple cohabitants.

Originally written on Lady At The Bat | Last updated 11/8/14
Sadly, after last night's loss in Toronto, the end is near for the New York Yankees.To think about this, let alone write about it, is too depressing. I will, instead, focus on one of the few highlights of the game. Curtis Granderson's sliding catch with two out and a runner in scoring position in the bottom of the fifth inning was huge (at the time), preventing (or, should I say, delaying) Toronto's second run from crossing the plate.In case you missed it, click here to see it.Thanks, Grandy.Eleven games left.

Your question was published, help is on its way!
Why did my washer stop spinning & agitating?
I have a Whirlpool washer model number LLR9245DQ0 that stopped spinning & agitating & is making a buzzing sound. Also, when I pulled it out there was a pile of black stuff under it.
Sign in to answer a question
2 Answers from these members:
Thank you for a very good description of the symptoms & your findings. The black rubber shavings under the washer are a sign of a failed motor drive coupler. The drive coupler is what took the place of the drive belt on the older washers. The drive coupler is what connects the motor to the transmission. Please see the link provided for the instructions to access & replace the motor drive coupler. NOTE; The console screws are located on the bottom of each end cap facing out & go into the top of the washer at a 45 degree angle on your model.

if we lack the brainpower to build world peace; not our productive
economy -- for we cannot sustain growth without trained manpower; not

Kennecott Copper Utah,
Bingham Canyon,
Rio Tinto,
copper cathode,
wall slide,
Barbara O'Donovan
NEW YORK Kennecott Utah Copper said it has laid off about 100 workers as the company looks to reduce operating costs following an April 10 wall slide at its Bingham Canyon Mine.
The workers are eligible for severance in accordance with parent company Rio Tinto Plcs policies and will also receive employee assistance and access to services with the states Department of Workforce Services, the company said.
Additional reductions in other parts of the business will take place later this month, Kennecott said.
"At this time, Kennecott does not have the total number of employees impacted by the slide," the company said. "Kennecott is continuing to take measures to reduce the impacts to its work force by making employee preference a priority."
Employee preference includes vacation time, unpaid leave and a one-time $20,000 resignation incentive for retirement-eligible employees who are covered by the collective bargaining agreement with a deadline of May 31, the company said.
"It is always difficult when jobs are lost because of the direct impact it has on individuals and families. Kennecott is taking great care to reduce impacts to employees with the decisions being made," the company said.
Kennecott declared force majeure on shipments of copper cathode after the wall slide forced it to halt production (amm.com, April 16).
The Bingham Canyon Mine is expected to operate at reduced capacity for at least six months, and possibly longer, as a result of the slide, which was one of the biggest in history (amm.com, May 21).

Henricoan in Ford commercial
Does the car-hugging young blonde in the Ford commercials look familiar? There's a reason for that. Henrico's own Mallory Schwartz, a 2004 graduate of Godwin H.S. and the daughter of John Jay and Gail Schwartz, is featured in the "Swap Your Ride" series as the exuberant car hugger (above). Mallory Schwartz was previously the subject of a Citizen story in January 2007 after she worked on the set of We Are Marshall as part of a summer internship.

After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.
