KEYC Anchor Slurs Her Way Through Newscast
KEYC weekend anchor Annie Stensrud slurred her way through the station's 10 p.m. newscast on Sunday. It appeared as though she had taken some strong cough medicine or perhaps had a bit too much fun while watching the Vikings game earlier in the day (video above). Read more

Great sprinkled liberally on sprout salads (grow my own) with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Also good on rice, beans, lentils. I happen to really love the taste. Cheaper than in bulk at local store, also prefer it being in a good container like this rather than plastic bag with twist tie (bulk buying).

Parents Sue School District After Their 13-Year-Old's Suicide Following Sexting Bullying
Filed under: In The News, Bullying
A Florida school district is being sued by the parents of an eighth grade student who committed suicide in 2009, after being harassed by classmates due to a sexting incident, Reuters reports.
The news service says Donna and Charles Witsell claim Hillsborough County school officials did not take appropriate action after learning their 13-year-old daughter had suicidal thoughts, according to the lawsuit filed this week in Tampa, Fla., federal court.
Hope Witsell hanged herself Sept. 12, 2009, after students viciously bullied her for texting a suggestive photo of herself to a boy, according to the news service.
After her daughter's death, Reuters reports, Donna Witsell found a copy of a "no-harm contract" signed by Hope the day before she took her life. According to the lawsuit, the contract stated that Hope agreed not to attempt suicide and would contact a school social worker if she had suicidal feelings, the news service reports.
The Witsells say the school's social worker failed to alert them -- or the school psychologist, principal, school resource officer or the girl's counselor -- to concerns about Hope, including signs the teen had been cutting herself, Reuters reports.
"The parents accuse the school district of negligence and violating the teen's and their own constitutional rights," Reuters reports, adding that the school district does not comment on pending litigation.

While I can understand a parents concerns when they aren't notified
about there children's welfare when school officals know someone is
contemplating suicide or harming themselves, I also wonder if the
parents are shifting the blame outside of the home.
I get tired of seeing everyone sue everyone over everything. Take
responsiblity for your children and parenting starts at home. We
depend on everyone else to raise our children and too readily blame
"someone else" when things dont work out the way we wish.
Maybe the parents weren't paying enough attention to what there child
was doing, or maybe there was nothing they could have done to prevent
this but its not just the schools fault their daughter did this. There
is no one factor to blame here. Teenagers are allowed too much freedom
very often at an early age which leads to destructive behavior due to
bad decisions that could often be avoided if parents took the time to
actually parent their child.
Teenagers are moody and secretive at that age, but it is your
responsiblity to be their parent not their friend. When they grow up
they will thank you. Still very sorry for their loss but no one factor
is to blame here.

The schools have a responsibility for the welfare and safety of their students. If school personnel felt that this girl was even a remotely possible suicide risk, they were negligent in not informing her parents about her mental state.

"While findings suggest that growth hormone may play some role in fighting aging, small improvements in strength and endurance may not make much of a difference in performing daily tasks. Additionally, during the study eighteen men taking growth hormone developed either diabetes or glucose intolerance, compared with seven men not taking growth hormone. Other side effects, which were most common in men, included swelling of the arms and legs… Growth hormone is also known to raise blood insulin levels, which may promote breast and prostate cancers."
~ Joseph Mercola from "Growth Hormone No Fountain of Youth"
Sylvester Stallone recently got pinched for having 48 vials of human Growth Hormone (hGH) and supposedly attempting to "import" it into Australia. Apparently having this prescription drug and/or "banned substance" without actually having a prescription for it constitutes a crime. Let's forget about whether or not he was in Australia or the U.S. for a moment, because frankly, that part is largely irrelevant. The relevant thing to understand is this: the State says this activity — possessing a prescription drug without a prescription — is illegal. Why? Who cares?
Ironically, this is the same State that allows drug companies to market birth control pills under the premise that one of the side effects — reduced periods — is actually a benefit for taking them. (In fairness, some studies have suggested that women want to have shorter periods, so who am I to question this desire?) While one could question the possibly biased nature of both the linked press release and the referenced study, it still stands to reason that some number of consumers would respond to the convenience inherent in such a treatment.
That said, how could the State simultaneously worry if Sly or anyone else consumes hGH off-prescription? This is the same State that allows a failed heart medicine — Viagra — to be marketed under the premise that one of its side effects, an iron-hard erection, is actually the primary reason one should take it. Puh-lease. Let Sly have his hGH already. (How can we expect the guy to successfully film Rocky 17: Balboa's Revenge otherwise?) What makes a drug worthy of prescription-only use anyway? I'd assert that designating a drug as prescription-only is of specific value to Big Pharma, and has no value to the consumer whatsoever.
The Simple Truth
I had initially planned to dig up all manner of compelling statistics, facts, and other whatnottery about hGH. (Statistics always make good copy.) I realized that was unnecessary though. The basic truths of the matter are:
- Whose decision should it be to use hGH? The user.
- Who is physically harmed if hGH is dangerous? The user.
- Who is financially harmed if hGH is obtained without a prescription? The drug manufacturers.
Therefore, why is the possession or use of hGH (without a prescription) illegal? Possession of hGH is illegal because it protects the profits of the drug companies. These companies have successfully lobbied law-makers and convinced them to turn the guns of the State upon us, supposedly upon our behalf, while we pay for it.
That's it; end of story. We pay tax dollars for enforcement, control, convictions, etc. so that the drug companies can be protected from loss of profit. Prescriptions are, in effect, a flavor of IP (intellectual property) protection for the drug companies. As such, they control both the access to and maybe even the creation of competing products. Is that justifiable under libertarian thought? I think not.
What about the bad side effects? Who will protect us from dangerous drugs? Again I ask, "Who cares?" (I will admit, other than the side effects mentioned by Dr. Mercola in the quote above, I was relatively unfamiliar with the exact side effects of long-term, routine use of hGH.) From the standpoint of freedom, personal responsibility, and my view of libertarian law, any possible side effects are irrelevant issues — fun facts to know and tell — at best.
If you want to shrink your testicles, grow a patch of hair between your eyebrows or a full-fledged hedge of curly locks out of your ears, or develop a third eye, that's your decision to make. The person having the ultimate responsibility best weighs the risks and benefits of any such action. Anyway, who's to say uni-brows won't catch on? Maybe smaller testicles will result in some heretofore obscure benefit. (Hey, you never know.)
The bottom line is: It's not my decision to make. I can't decide for you. You can't decide for me. The State — composed of people just like you and me — can't decide for either of us. The argument from morality is in full effect.
As an aside, let's look very quickly at sports and the usage of drugs like hGH. Sports already operate via specific, agreed-upon, voluntary rules for all participants. Why should drug use be any different? Deciding that members of the National and American Leagues cannot use steroids or hGH is no more complicated than deciding that a batter is out after three strikes. If these drugs are bad, in the purview of those controlling a sport, or if using them somehow hurts the game, simply say so. If some baseball player(s) with inordinately large bodies (or heads) are stricken from the record books, what's the loss? No one is forced to play baseball, and almost any decision handed down by those in charge can be made to stick. (In no case does Congress need to weigh in on "the integrity of the game" or some such lunacy, although those "hearings" are good for a few laughs.)
If it sounds like I'm suggesting that the ingestor should make the decisions about what to ingest, when to ingest it, and for how long it should be ingested, my point is made. However, just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that we all play amateur pharmacist. I'm suggesting that the issue of prescription drugs is simply a variant on the general issue of vices: smoking, drug use, drinking, and sex for money, etc. As Spooner already eloquently stated, "vices are not crimes." Prescriptions seem to exist for two reasons. One: to control access to drugs that drug manufacturers want to market exclusively. In effect the State is helping Big Pharma maximize the profits on whatever item they are hocking. Two: to protect the ignorant public from improperly using the drugs. In effect the State is saying that they can better decide for us than we can decide for ourselves.
This second benefit is suspect at best. Otherwise a drug could never come off prescription-only use, and of course, they do that all the time. If the public's impression and understanding of drugs were so suspect, one might think that marketing directly to the consumer would not be ethical. Surely, if I cannot be expected to properly use a drug on my own, trying to convince me of their efficacy via advertising preys on the same weakness. (The U.S. is one of the few countries that allow drug companies to market directly to the consumer, while simultaneously regulating the market heavily. This type of good news / bad news is common in a statist republic such as the U.S.)
The fact that it's apparently okay to beseech the consumer directly — based upon all the commercials suggesting that I "ask my doctor" — while simultaneously controlling access to the market via heavy regulation, tells me all I need to know about who these laws really protect.
Wilt Alston [send him mail] lives in Rochester, NY, with his wife and three children. When he's not training for a marathon or furthering his part-time study of libertarian philosophy, he works as a principal research scientist in transportation safety, focusing primarily on the safety of subway and freight train control systems.

I like! Thanks! Easy to explain too!ReplyDelete

But does this actually teach the students WHY it works? That the word OF means to multiply, and that you can use cross factors to simplify before multiplication? Shortcuts are great... but only AFTER there is a strong understanding of the process! I think we do a dis-service to our students if we teach them an 'easy way out' of learning the concept of fraction operations.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 16, 2012 at 10:21 PM
Different Anon here. I think it does explain it. Once you have established fractions as part over whole. The first step says how many are in each part when your whole is 24. (6) The second part says you want three of those parts (3 groups of 6 which is 18). I like this trick because it helps kiddos (with a littl esupport) think about the math behind the process.ReplyDelete
Anon 1: I totally agree that students should understand the WHY of mathematical procedures. I think, just as with any tool, it depends on how the teacher presents it (As Anon 2 pointed out). What I didn't blog about were the two previous lessons in which students actually divided themselves into thirds, fourths, and sixths. They then drew pictures representing fractions and learned through the pictures how to find one-sixth (or whatever) of a number, and also two or more fractional parts of a number. The "shortcut" was reserved until after we had thoroughly gone through the "basics."ReplyDelete
anonymous, if I was taught how to do fractions this way in school I might have learned it. I can multiply and divide, add and subtract but never understood fractions. No maybe I can help my daughter with fractions.ReplyDelete
I saw this on Pinterest, and just love it. I teach remedial college math, and anyway I can get them to learn is great. Yes, we go over and over that "of" means multiply, but sometimes we just need the trick, especially if you are a freshman in college!ReplyDelete
I couldn't find a way to contact you, but what would you think if I reposted this idea on my math blog but featured your blog and a backlink to it? Let me know. You can find my contact info on my blog:ReplyDelete
Thanks, Scipi! I'd be honored for you to repost on your blog, and I'm your newest follower!ReplyDelete

Math teacher here - tricks work for the moment but when kids get to higher maths, you realize that those tricks screwed them. They do not understand harder concepts because they never truly understood the easy ones, like fractions. If you want your kid to learn, don't do these "trucks.". Truly doing the kid an injustice.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, Please see comment #5. I would agree with you if this was the only way I'd taught it, but this was the culminating activity.ReplyDelete
Sometimes "understanding" needs to be put aside for being able to do it. Sometimes after memorization comes understanding. As a high school math teacher there were many things I could mathematically do, but it was when I had to use them later that I understood.ReplyDelete
I have NEVER been good at math. Having a shortcut to get the right answer first, and not being frustrated so that I couldn't "grasp" the lesson would have been so much better. Build confidence, then explain the HOWS and WHYS. I'm not a teacher, just always hated math. Thank you for showing me this short cut. Making a subject fun and associating to real life makes learning and comprehending so much better and more likely to be remembered.ReplyDelete
I do fractions in my head and use them daily. I think this is weird and confusing.ReplyDelete
Just found this on Pinterest! So glad I did! Yay! This is great!!ReplyDelete
I love finding other 4th grade bloggers!!

very clever! I've pinned it.ReplyDelete

Gosh....so many thoughtful ways this could be approached rather than resorting to a trick. How can we split 24 into 4 equal groups? How many would be in three of those groups? Or...what's 1/2 of 24? So, our answer has to be more than what? Tricks are never ok to teach kids. If we only teach tricks and steps, we are missing the boat.ReplyDelete
why does every one see this is a trick? It's not! 3/4 of 24 is and always will be (24/4) x 3. Just like 2/3 of 12 is (12/3) x 2. Why bother with any other way of figuring it out? I've received As in all of my math classes, including college level CALC. I always figured fractions this way, and still do to this day.ReplyDelete
I agree with Mom2Coy! It does explain it! It simply does it 'visually'. I am VERY math-minded and at 36 years old this is how I have always done it (without the super cool Backwards Zorro name...stellar addition ;) ) And I remember the EXACT day in jr high when our substitute teacher told me that although I got the answer right using this method...it was wrong. No...it isn't. It just isn't the way YOU do it. It is VERY right for some of us...and in no way hinders our ability to 'understand' fractions.ReplyDelete
What about 1/2 of 15? it's rounded?ReplyDelete
I just finally "got it" with this illustration and anon #2 March 16, 2012 at 10:21 PM I did really well in school and pushed through but just now I actually see what steps I was doing. This isn't a short cut, it is just an easy way to SEE it.ReplyDelete

This post originally appeared on Vistaprint's Micro Business Perspectives Blog.
Here is a general overview of group buying and how small businesses are using it.
If you type "group buying" into Google, you'll get over 44,500,000 results. The most recognized player however, is probably Groupon, a Chicago-based company that has enjoyed explosive growth over the past few years. The business model is simple: Groupon typically keeps half of the money generated from the deal, and the other half goes to the featured retailer. If, for instance, a $160 dinner is offered for $80 on the site, Groupon and the restaurant split the $80. As we mentioned, Groupon is just one of many group buying sites. Others in the space include LivingSocial, Google Offers and Gilt.
What about my business?
The big question, of course, is how does (or doesn't) group buying fit into the world of a micro business owner? The first step might be looking at a few pros and cons. Although there are a number of advantages to consider when it comes to group buying, the biggest is likely the opportunity to generate buzz and in the end, reach a deep pool of new consumers you might not have been able to before. According to a Financial Times piece, Groupon CEO Andrew Mason thinks his company is the perfect way for small businesses to do just that: "We're hands down the best way to get customers through the door," he says. "Which for small businesses is the difference between success and failure." And while customer procurement is undoubtedly vital, small business owners also have to weigh a number of important risk factors like potential financial impact, and whether or not they'll be able to honor the deal if it takes off.
ToMuse takes a hard look at whether or not group buying is cost effective, and ultimately comes to the conclusion that it really depends on the offer. And as for delivering on the deal, one cautionary tale comes in the form of a cupcake. Rachel Brown, who runs a small bakery outside of London, featured what she thought was a simple deal on Groupon (a 75 percent discount on a dozen cupcakes) that would maybe generate a few hundred orders. Instead, she was flooded, finally cutting the orders off at a staggering 8,500 — which, for the record, is a lot of cupcakes. According to the Daily Mail, her business took a massive hit. "Because [Brown's] deal had been so generous and the demand so huge, she made a loss on every order – wiping out her profits for the entire year," the publication reports.
In the end, not all businesses are the same, and the decision comes down to you as a small business owner asking the right questions, such as: Is the risk worth the potential gain? Can I afford to offer such a deep discount? Am I prepared to honor the terms of the offer if there's no limit? We've only scratched the surface of group buying, but hopefully you've gained a little insight.
Tell us in the comments section: Do you think you'll consider group buying or will you stick to more traditional methods?

No they should never have done that. That's something The Simpsons would do. When South Park have a special guest on the show, they give them a very minor role like when George Clooney played Stan's dog Sparky. All he did was bark like a dog. SP should never have guest voices.

Bella Outdoor Collection by Carsten Astheimer for Gloster
Product designer Carsten Astheimer has created the Bella lounge chair and garden bench for furniture manufacturer Gloster.
Elegant, sleek powder coated aluminium frames are combined with shaped laminated teak slats to produce a unique form, pure in both its concept and its execution. This purity is more than just style, it's a statement. It innovates, challenges and stays true to the designer's vision. But this isn't form over function. Exceptional materials, master craftsmanship and a dedication to comfort ensure that the Bella outdoor collection feels just as good as it looks. The vision behind Bella was simple – what would the ultimate contemporary outdoor seating collection look like?
The answer from leading European product designer Carsten Astheimer, challenged every aspect of Gloster's technical and manufacturing capabilities, yet through experience, craftsmanship and passion, a way was found to re-create the vision. Fundamental to the design of Bella is its highly sculptured seat and back made from a series of shaped, laminated teak slats. Unique within outdoor furniture, this feature provides a three-dimensional form, making Bella not only elegant, but also supremely comfortable.

Had a chat with Carsten at iSaloni in Milan as I was very impressed with this new direction from Gloster. Must say it's both beautiful and comfortable and has a timeless quality – which Carsten said he was aiming to lift from the park benches of old designs and mix it up with a touch of his yacht design influence. I must say I especially love it from three quarter rear and can't wait to start retailing them on our site soon.
Terrific work Gloster and Carsten.

Increases in truck and intermodal volume and pricing pushed C.H. Robinson Worldwide revenue up 11.3 percent from a year ago to almost $3 billion in the third quarter, while the logistics company's net profit rose 11.4 percent to $114 million.
Revenue, profit and volumes also increased from the second quarter, when the $9.3 billion freight broker reported $111 million in profit on $2.7 billion in sales.
C.H. Robinson's truckload volumes increased about 4 percent in the quarter, while less-than-truckload shipments jumped approximately 15 percent. Intermodal and ocean volumes also increased, with intermodal revenue rising 14.7 percent.
Net truck revenue rose 13.1 percent to $321.4 million, accounting for 86 percent of the third-party logistics company's transportation revenue. Net LTL revenue increased 28 percent, as shippers sought more capacity and lower rates.
The Minneapolis-based company's truckload rates rose 4 percent, while truckload costs rose 3 percent. Slower truckload volume and revenue growth in October worried analysts who warned it could squeeze C.H. Robinson's margins.
"Our sense is that the slow growth TL market associated with slow economic growth is likely to persist for several more quarters," J.P. Morgan transportation analyst Thomas R. Wadewitz said in an Oct. 26 note to investors.

Need a laugh? I sure do. It seems like everything I've posted this morning has been a downer.
So click on this link to John Blanchette's column. After you read his nominations, let me know which of the movies John mentioned you would award the Oscar. Mine was "Eight Below," though I think June is a little late. …
• The subject of one of the movies John nominated, "Off the Black," is also the subject of this Larry Stone baseball column in the Times. It may also make you laugh if you're a M's fan, thinking of the heartburn the Red Sox fans will get to enjoy this summer with Joel Pineiro as a closer. The P-I's Jim Moore also offers his opinion of Pineiro, the closer. …

Electronic Franchise Filing System:
How to Get Started
The online electronic franchise filing system ("E-File System") is intended to facilitate the electronic submission of franchise applications, renewals, and amendments online, eliminating the need to make any paper or other physical submissions to the Washington State Securities Division ("Division"). In so doing, we believe that time and resources will be conserved by both the applicant and the Division.
General Information for all filing types
Please note the following items prior to using the E-File System:
- Please use the latest version of Windows Internet Explorer® web browser. While the E-File System has been tested to work on all web browsers, some users have reported errors while using other browsers.
- Please disable your "Pop-up Blocker" on your browser.
- Please do not use the "Back" button on your browser. Instead, please use the navigation buttons that are built into the E-File System.
- The E-File System does not allow you to save a partially completed application. Therefore, if you close your browser before the process is complete, your work will be lost.
Using the E-File System
The following steps outline the process by which an applicant or permit-holder may file online:
Direct your web browser to the following link: https://fortress.wa.gov/dfi/elicensing/dfi/elicensing/FranchiseFilings
Please take a moment to review the notices and instructions on the "Introduction" page and the "Instructions" page. When you are ready to begin, select "Start."
Select the appropriate filing type under the drop-down menu that is labeled, "Actions." The options include:
- Initial Franchise Application
- Franchise Reapplication*
- Amend Franchise
Renew Franchise
*Reapplication is required for franchise offerings that were previously registered but failed to renew before the expiration date.
Selecting "Franchise ReApplication," "Amend Franchise," or "Renew Franchise" will bring you to a screen that allows you to either enter your Washington file number or look up this number. After entering a file number, you will be asked to confirm whether you have entered the correct number. Please be certain you are filing using the correct file number before proceeding.
Upload each of the required documents, and provide an e-mail address in which confirmation of receipt may be sent. All uploaded files must be saved as Adobe PDF files (extension must be ".PDF").
For your convenience, we have provided several document-type categories that may be used for uploading your documents.

The one thing I was absolutely dreading on this cruise was throwing open the door to our cabin, having heard so much about how big Disney's rooms are compared to other ships. I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Our room was a lovely size, and we actually thought it felt bigger than anything we'd had before with Disney.
We suspect some of that was down to the design of the room, which seemed to be packed with storage space. We absolutely loved the huge wardrobe, opposite the bathroom door, which was large enough to store our three suitcases. Although the bathroom wasn't a split one, it was perfectly adequate for our needs, and the balcony was definitely a lot larger than its equivalent on Disney. All in all, we felt the cabins were actually much nicer than on Disney, something I never expected to say.
My major disappointment this cruise was the lack of rotational dining. I didn't realise how much I loved this system, until we didn't have it any longer. In a way, it was nice to have the same table in the same restaurant each night, as we always knew where we were going, but we had to make an effort to visit the other restaurants for lunch or breakfast, and I would have preferred to have experienced them for dinner.
The food quality was all over the place. Some meals were superb, while others were sublime, and in one example, downright awful. However, having said that, I can't say that Disney necessarily scores that much better, as that sounds very similar to our experience on our seven-night Alaskan cruise.
Interestingly, we felt that the restaurants on board the Azura that required a cover charge were very similar in quality to Palo. We didn't bother comparing them to Remy, as obviously you pay a lot more for that experience, so it didn't seem fair. However, both Seventeen, their adult-only restaurant, and Sindhu, their Indian restaurant, were first class, both in terms of the food, the setting, and the service. That was a pleasant surprise, as I really didn't expect them to match Disney in this respect, but they did.
The only thing on the food and drink side that we weren't impressed with were the charges for the soft drinks with your meals. We really have been spoiled by Disney in that regard, and it did feel as if P&O was desperately trying to get more money out of us, which is understandable, given their fares are much more reasonable than Disney's. You certainly get what you pay for on a cruise.
Perhaps one of the biggest letdowns for us was the onboard entertainment. We knew it wouldn't be of the same quality of Disney, but a lot of the evening shows just didn't interest us at all. The only one that did, a Freddie Mercury impersonator, was standing-room-only by the time we got there, which was a real disappointment. Equally, a lot of the listings in Horizons, P&O's equivalent of a Navigator, didn't jump out at us, which was a great shame, particularly on our days at sea.
With the exception of the entertainment, I thought the Azura, and P&O, matched up surprisingly well to Disney's high standards. It was a much more pleasant experience that I expected it to be, and we're now thinking of another non-Disney cruise in a couple of year's time, as we'd like to explore the Baltic cities. Of course, we'd prefer to do it with Disney, so we'll watch with interest to see what their 2014 itinerary contains, but if that doesn't come through, cruising with another company won't concern us half as much in the future.

Coffee – Instant Or Ground
When I wake up in the morning I want my coffee. I do not have an automatic coffee maker so I used to resort to instant coffee for my first dose of caffeine. Then as I drink my instant coffee, I make a pot of ground java.
Instant java is a brew that has already been made. But instead of drinking it, the brew is freeze dried. Freeze drying is nothing more than putting the brew in a chamber, and lowering the temperature and pressure. When the temperature is below freezing, and pressure is less than atmospheric, heat is applied to remove the moisture from the brew. Now you have freeze dried crystals. Add boiling water and you have instant java.
But I like ground coffee the best, much better flavor. I used to make my ground coffee by using a French Press. A French Press is where you put the coffee grounds in a pot, pour boiling water in and then use a press to force the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pot. As you force the coffee grounds down, the water, which has absorbed the coffee, is separated from the coffee grounds and is forced to the top of the press. Therefore the coffee grounds and coffee brew are separated, allowing you to pour the coffee out without the grounds.
Since I found the French Press, I found it takes about the same amount of time to make coffee this way as it does to make an instant brew. I have given up on instant and now just have fresh brewed using the French Press.

Seven Lies
"Intense, powerful and superbly crafted" The Times (UK)
"James Lasdun's second novel is a marvel - exciting, atmospheric and the best summation to date of what it felt like to grow up on the other side of the wall." Elena Seymenlyiska, The Guardian
"Combines the knuckle-whitening tension of a thriller with literary wit and the precision of a surgeon." The Economist
"A taut transnational thriller" The Believer
"Poet James Lasdun confirms his career as an important novelist…Macabre but sensationally authentic" New York Sun
"James Lasdun is a tremendous writer and Seven Lies is that rare thing, a novel that delivers on every level. It is so gripping that you want to gobble it down at a single sitting, and yet the prose is so exacting that you want to linger over every sentence." Geoff Dyer
"Pitch-perfect…And what finely wrought characters…[Seven Lies's] complex plot falls into place with the irresistible inevitability of a clockwork's gears and levers." The Globe and Mail (Canada)
"Superb…Every page of this narration bears examples of Lasdun's own poetic mastery…shockingly vivid." Time Out
"A surprising and nuanced novel…that skillfully blends the political and the personal" The New Republic
"Gloomily brilliant" Times Literary Supplement
"Gripping and beautifully written…A structural tour de force…Lasdun's art is partly that of the concealer. Stefan's 'crimes' are disclosed with such quiet brilliance that the reader becomes absorbed into his world of noirish double and triple dealing as in a masterwork by John le Carre." The Scotsman
"Seven Lies…works like fingers around the throat, gradually tightening their grip as revelation follows revelation. It is grimly funny, painfully sad and beautifully written." Marcus Eliason Associated Press
"A riveting, thrillerish plot. Here is a stylist who's also a fabulous storyteller" Daily Telegraph (UK)
"An elegant, moving and intelligent book" Irish Times
"Glorious" The Observer
"Grips the reader from the start… Lean, artful, assured." The Spectator (UK)
"Seven Lies has a way of enlarging the spirit and refreshing the mind far more comprehensively than many books with twice its 200 pages…ingenious" James Buchan, The Guardian
"Lasdun plunges directly into the contradictions of political and personal lives in an utterly original, gripping story. He writes ardently, luminously of the innate corruptibility at the center of human life, the lies that sustain it, the truths that threaten it, and he keeps in a reader's view the always shifting balance between the two, the temptation of falsehood, the struggle for probity. I admired the novel profoundly." Paula Fox

3 thoughts on "Vancouver Sun, Province buyout memo"
You have to appreciate the directness and no bullshit tone of the letter.
Organizational change is inevitable. The Sun and Province have and always will be a great medium to keep the public informed of current events and ideas. This is also an opportunity for creative advertising to reach out to a modern generation on the highway of transformation.
When newspapers fail to address and popularize issues that really matter to the society that makes up the economy the newspaper become irrelevant!

tastytreats1It's NOT worth it, don't do it. READ THIS BEFORE YOU DO IT
You may think this is a good idea, but let me tell you – it's not. I was a silly teenager who wanted to be different, and now I'm older with a horrible scar on my face. I was silly enough to have both my upper and lower lip pierced so that's two ugly scars. I know what you're thinking "I will never take it out blah blah" but you will eventually, and the longer you leave it the worse the scarring will be. Do you want to end up with an ugly mark on your face for the rest of your life just to look fashionable as a teenager? Not just scarring on the outside – there is scarring on the inside as well. It will leave a big lump of scar tissue on the inside as it's healing, and it will stay there even after you take it out. If we're talking about a bottom lip piercing you will not be able to resist the urge to play with the flat back of the labret with your teeth, meaning now I have one front tooth which is more worn down that the other. Just remember, regrets are for later. Do you really want to be left with an ugly scar until the day you die? Oh, and not to mention the £50 I spend on them which definitely could have been spent better. 3 years ago

Alex and I have been working on some plugins to let us use our favorite IDE with our favorite embedded Linux distro builder. We now have some basic functionality in place that will allow minimal support of OpenEmbedded within Eclipse. The functionality can be summarized into three areas:
1. Using OpenEmbedded and Poky Linux toolchains from within an Eclipse C project.
2. Running a cross-compiled binary in a Poky-built QEMU environment.
3. Viewing, Editing, and creating BitBake recipes.
What I've been working on mainly is the 3rd item. It would seem simple to just edit BitBake files in Eclipse, but it's turned out that writing a custom filesystem (the Eclipse form) was necessary to allow OE/Poky projects even to be viewable. This is due to the large number of files that is generated in the temp directories, and when Eclipse first creates a project in an existing OE install, the resulting brute-force filescan is not pretty. To overcome this I implemented a custom filesystem that simply ignores some key directories, namely the TMPDIR and DL_DIR, which aren't used to store recipes anyway. With that out of the way I was able to use Eclipse's build in file and basic project management facilities without problems. The next step was a custom editor for the BitBake recipe syntax. I have a basic editor with syntax highlighting and some code templates complete. Here is a screenshot ~
What's up next is console integration (you can see the beginings of that in the screenshot) such that a recipe, via drag-and-drop, can be build from a console. Once that's complete I hope to tie back into CDT with a "checkout recipe into workspace" feature that uses bitbake to automagically build a source project for any OE recipe. This would simplify the steps necessary to configure a CDT project to properly work with an install of OE or Poky.
Interested? Current builds are available here: http://bugcommunity.com/downloads/files/ote/updatesite

Concept of "Unit Scenario" in Risk Assessment. Sosuke Hanai and Takashi Ito, Japan Chemical Industry Association (JCIA) Tokyo Club Bld., 3-2-6, Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda, Tokyo, JAPAN, 100-0013, telephone +81.3.3580.0756, fax +81.3.3580.2665, e-mail email@example.com
At JCIA (Japan Chemical Industry Association) a system for assessing and managing chemical risk is being developed under the sponsorship of Ministry of International Trading and Industry. The system has been designed for the last three years by the experts from academe, government, and industry, and is now in the final stage of development. When completed this year it will be used by Japanese chemical industry for the user-specific situations.
The system consists of subsystems for quantifying physical, human health, and environmental risks and when risk reduction is needed, the risk management subsystem helps the user in choosing management tools, e.g., some exposure control method.
For the assessment of human health risk, especially for direct exposure at workplace or consumer usage, some methods for quantifying exposure for the various situations are necessary. We propose a concept of "Unit Scenario". The specific conditions of a scenario is divided to the finest level, and the two steps description of the process defines a Unit Scenario.
A: Pathway from source to media, giving the concentration in the media example:
Use of hair spray in a room
Evaporation of solvent while preparing paint solution
B: Route of the contact between media and human body, giving uptake example:
Inhalation of chemical substance in air
Dermal uptake through skin contact
In step A, concentration of chemical substances are estimated by using mathematical models. In step B, uptake by inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact are calculated. Combination of the two steps can describe the diversified situations which are necessary for the flexible assessment. Method of exposure control is linked with a Unit Scenario, which makes discussions for risk reduction easier.

Volunteers, community
members, businesses and many
more gathered at Richard
Carroll Elementary School on
Saturday, December 8th for
Bamberg County Day, which is
a community day sponsored by
The Original Six Foundation, a
foundation run by Governor
Nikki Haley. Haley, a Bamberg
native, was elected as South
Carolina's Governor in 2010
and since her first day in office
she has fulfilled a promise to
"fight for reform, lean budgets,
and government
Her foundation has
allowed her to go a step further
and make sure that counties in
South Carolina are reassured
they can rise to any challenge
they face when they "invest in a
plan." She along with other
foundation members go into
each county and show the
citizens they "deserve better
and [how] to do something
about it," by developing a plan
of action to correct problematic
situations. It could be anything
from correcting street signs or
planting flowers to helping
citizens find jobs.
Bamberg County Day
consisted of a job and health
fair, along with a baby shower
for expecting mothers, outdoor
activities, a car seat check, a
bloodmobile to donate blood
and so much more. Local
employees, service providers,
state agency tables and
unemployment help fill the
school's cafeteria. The gym was
overflowing with medical
providers giving vaccinations,
flu shots, and many types of
health screenings. A lunch of
hotdogs and chips were served
outside where the games
commenced. A bouncy house
and slide were enjoyed, along
with basketball and tennis, by
adults and children alike.
Haley said, "Today is about getting people healthy.
It's about helping people get
ready for jobs, it's about
making sure they have the
resources that they need to take
that next step." However, her
foundation is more than
planning to sponsor a
community day and move on.
Haley added, "What we want to
do going further is [find out]
how do we make this a place
where a CEO will come in and
want to put a company?"
It's a loaded question with
lots of areas to look at before
moving forward. Haley
understands this, which is why
she said, "We have to look at
the healthcare situation in
Bamberg. We have to look at
the education system and tie in
those technical colleges and all
those other colleges together.
We have to make sure the
workforce is strong." With
these goals in line "[they] will
keep coming back."
The foundation
understands that "every county
is different and special in its
own way," and Haley's team,
"is trying to figure out what all
they need." And Saturday,
Bamberg County moved a step
forward as Bamberg County
Day took place. Over 400
participants were involved in
this day of service. Haley has
said before that Bamberg is a
place, "where neighbors take
care of neighbors," and that
was shown when all of the
businesses and organizations
came out "to let someone know
[they] care." Haley thanked
those businesses and
volunteers, because, "[those]
people let a lot of people in
Bamberg County know they

But the wow factor comes from snorkeling off the hotel's untamed beach; private picnics on the neighboring island of Isle à Quatre; and insider recommendations from British hotelier Elizabeth Clayton, who has lived in the Grenadines for more than a decade. At this four-room oasis on an 18th-century plantation, a martini-shaking bartender arrives by speedboat; the wild beach is practically yours alone; and turndown includes candlelight, Billie Holiday on an iPod, and Italian linens. More hotels are on the horizon in Bequia, but for now, this is the spot for an idyllic, sybaritic fantasy.
