As you may have heard, earlier this afternoon, Facebook priced its initial public offering at $38/share, valuing co-founder Eduardo Saverin's stake at approximately $2.9 billion. Since Saverin conveniently renounced his US citizenship last week, he will avoid paying millions in capital gains taxes and hang on to an estimated $67-$100 million that would have otherwise gone to the government, news that did not sit right with Chuck Schumer. Did the Senator from New York call the guy a "piece of shit miscreant"? No. Did he send him an email that included the line, "fuck with me and you will have a huge asshole"? No (not that we know of…). But Schumer was inspired to draft legislation aimed at tax-dodging ex-pats like Saverin and to let the kid know he makes him sick. Read more »

Facebook 'Friends' Find Unimaginably Cruel Way To Kick Kweku Adoboli When He's Down
By Bess LevinAs the users of Mark Zuckerberg's poking machine among us can attest, there are many things you can expect from your Facebook friends. You can expect that they'll keep you abreast of every insignificant moment of their entire lives. You can expect that they'll post public affirmations about being "stronger than this" following a break-up or a shitty lunch. You can expect that, when taking a trip, they'll let you know the flight number, when they're on the way to the airport, going through security, sitting at the gate**, waiting to take off, defying the request to power down their phone, losing said battle, touching down on the runway, waiting for their bags and still thinking about the person across the aisle who gave them a weird vibe. You can expect that they'll upload countless photos of their trip with at least one set devoted to posing (alone) on the beach like they're shooting the god damn Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, having forced their travel companion to play photog. You can expect that they'll assume you want to be friends with their household pet. You can expect that they'll ask you to send positive thoughts into the universe when said pet when it comes down with a common cold.
As a card-carrying member of Facebook, UBS trader Kweku Adoboli was aware of the social contract one enters when becoming friends with people on the 'book and held up his end of the bargain, dutifully 'liking' the status messages of friends forced to sit through 30-minute delays at Heathrow and keeping his fingers crossed that Mr. Fluffernutterbigglesworthjosecanseconiner would recover soon. Which is why it must have stung pretty badly when, after all he's done for his so-called friends, they couldn't toss him one bone and help him out of a tight spot. Read more »

If there ever was a story in which a media outlet raced to be the last to break the news, this was it. After bogus reports of Pat Burns' death earlier this fall forced the coaching legend to proclaim that he's still alive and fighting, the latest news of his passing was understandably met with skepticism.
Then slowly the confirmation trickled in Friday evening that Burns had lost his battle with cancer. This time it seemed real, and it was. First the New Jersey Devils, the team Burns coached to a Stanley Cup in 2002-03, issued a statement, with general manager Lou Lamoriello expressing his deepest condolences. Then several media outlets obtained confirmation from Burns' family that the coach had indeed passed away in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
So at the age of 58, and with 501 wins under his belt while coaching the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, and the Devils, the NHL has lost a coaching legend far too soon.
There will be time to chastise the Hockey Hall of Fame Selection Committee for its decision to not induct Burns into hockey's museum this year, and to give him the honour of being celebrated by his peers one last time. There are many fans and media members taking up that fight on Twitter.
But that's a fight for another day. As the hockey world gives its thoughts to the Burns family, we'll reflect back on two moments that show Burns' character and passion towards the game, his teams, and his players.
These are merely slices of Burns' 14-year coaching career, quick snapshots from yesteryear. But they offer a brief glimpse at a determined leader.
Reacting to the chaos of Wendel Clark
In what has always been a heated rivalry between the Leafs and Habs, Wendel Clark cranked the heat up a few notches and tried to take on anyone wearing a Canadiens sweater. Standing behind the Habs' bench, Burns was instantly red-hot, defending his players while screaming some obscenities in the direction of Leafs coach Tom Watt.
Burns vs. Barry Melrose
When Marty McSorley took a cheap shot on Leafs star Doug Gilmour during Game 1 of Toronto's Campbell Conference Final against the Kings, Burns was ready to fight Kings head coach Barry Melrose. It was the first game of a highly physical and emotional series, and Burns said he had already lost a tremendous amount of respect for his opponent.

Arbor Small Icon Belt
Fantastic Belt, Better than Pictured
This belt is definitely worth the $64 dollars, mine arrived in the mail in Bamboo/Brown yesterday and it feels like a real solid belt and the buckle was more of a tan bamboo color rather than the yellowish color pictured. I dont know, perhaps that varies with the belts, but I can tell this is going to be a classy, high-quality belt that I hope will last many good years.

Shop Talk: Gender Studies
The Center for Gender Studies was founded in 1996—"quite late in the development of women's studies," says Linda Zerilli, director of the center and Charles E. Merriam Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science. "Most of the really important women's/gender studies programs started in the seventies." Despite its late start, says Jane Dailey, former director and associate professor of history, "the center has received a lot of support from the administration over the years."
Partly because of that support, the center has achieved an impressive reach throughout the University. Its 100-plus affiliated faculty members include professors from such diverse disciplines as biological sciences, classics, divinity, economics, music, philosophy, and visual arts.
The center's first Faculty Fellow seminar, launched this year, takes a similarly broad interdisciplinary approach. The center awarded five Faculty Fellowships to "a phenomenal group of scholars," says Dailey: Mary Anne Case (Arnold I. Shure Professor of Law), Kyeong-Hee Choi (associate professor, East Asian languages and civilizations), Rachel Jean-Baptiste (assistant professor, history), Kristen Schilt (assistant professor, sociology), and Rebecca Zorach (associate professor, art history). These scholars, along with six additional faculty participants, will spend the year investigating the topic "The Politics of Sexual Freedom."
Zerilli and Dailey spoke with Dialogo contributor Carrie Golus, AB'91, AM'93, about the past, present, and future of the Center for Gender Studies.
Why is it called gender studies, rather than women's studies? Does that reflect a difference in approach?
Zerilli: Women's studies got its start mainly in the disciplines of history and English, and a little bit in anthropology. The focus was, initially, on recovering women's history—all those lost voices.
The shift to gender studies developed as it became more and more difficult to talk about femininity without talking about masculinity. There was a new focus on masculinity and femininity not only as fundamentally unstable categories, but categories that were constituted in relation to each other.
Dailey: It was easy to call it "gender" in 1996. In that sense, being founded late was fortunate, because we were able to be in sync with the latest scholarship.
Zerilli: The name is something we're still debating. We're thinking about a possible change to the Center for Gender and Sexuality Studies, because we do a lot of work on sexuality.
Do you feel that gender studies is taken seriously now, in a way that women's studies maybe wasn't in the seventies?
Zerilli: When women's studies began, it provided space for academics to use gender as a category of analysis. The big challenge for gender/women's studies is that the project succeeded, in that the work got mainstreamed. For example, I was hired to teach feminist theory in the Department of Political Science. I don't have to go to Gender Studies to teach it.
This is obviously not the case with all departments, and it is a particular problem in the sciences. That's why the participants in the Women in Science project have been so excited. For these women, Gender Studies can have the sort of life that it had in the seventies for women in the social sciences or humanities.
What is the Women in Science project?
Zerilli: A few years ago, Mary Harvey [PhD'87, associate provost for program development] put together a committee on women and science. Mary has been a major force in trying to advance the interests of women, through promotion, tenure, and retention of women in the sciences. The group Women in Science grew out of that.
Dailey: The center's contribution has been to provide a space for women scientists to get together and present their work. These women are scattered all over. At our meetings they get to know each other and sometimes realize their research is connected to an aspect of someone else's.
The center has always been patronized and run by humanities and social sciences faculty. We wanted to let the Biological Sciences Division, the Medical School, and other divisions know that we're there for the whole University.
Zerilli: When Women in Science began, quite frankly, I wasn't sure it was going to take off. But it's been hugely successful. There were all these women who had a second-wave moment, realizing that there are other women at the University who have similar problems—that it wasn't just an individual problem.
What are the goals for the new seminar for faculty fellows?
Zerilli: Strangely enough, faculty rarely get to talk about their work with other faculty in a seminar-like setting.
Each week, a faculty member presents his or her work—but it's not the usual format. When you present a paper to your department, you're going to present something that's pretty polished. At that point, you don't really want to hear any criticisms. You're just thinking, "Please love it!"
But one participant in the seminar, Lucy Pick [senior lecturer, Divinity School], asked, "What if you don't even have a chapter? How about if everyone just read the primary texts I'm working with, and then we just discussed them?" So the seminar is a working group, and that's very liberating.
Dailey: The seminar is open to all faculty members at the University, but not graduate students or undergraduates. The impulse was to find a space to talk to each other about our work without any pedagogical issues. It is a little selfish. But I think we all felt that we have so many opportunities to interact with undergrads and grads in various workshops at the center, that we could be a little selfish and make this space just for us.
Do other departments have faculty seminars? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing.
Dailey: The Law School has a work-in-progress seminar, where faculty present their work to each other every week. But ours has a theme and is interdisciplinary. And we're not all going to vote on each other's tenure.
Zerilli: There's a little more room for taking a risk, a little more playfulness, particularly for junior people.
How does this tie in with the Sawyer seminar?
Dailey: Last fall, we were one of two groups at the University invited to submit an application for a Sawyer seminar from the Mellon Foundation. Along with Martha Nussbaum [Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics], we put together a proposal for a seminar called "Women's International Human Rights: Problems, Paradoxes, Possibilities."
We thought this was a topic that was capacious enough to appeal to our traditional constituencies in the social sciences and the humanities, but also across the Midway to the Law School. The goal was to broaden our discussion.
Zerilli: The grant was $165,000. It was a big deal for the center. As well as faculty fellowships, it will also support postdocs and two conferences.
Any other new developments?
Zerilli: We now have a Graduate Certificate, so graduate students have something official when they leave. The graduate student community has been always really strong, but now the center has a formalized relationship to these students.
Last year we had nine undergraduates majoring in gender studies. This year we have sixteen—the largest number we've ever had. There are many more minors.
The center seems to run so much interesting programming—lectures, workshops, film screenings. Are there any events specifically geared to alumni?
Zerilli: We would love to get alumni more involved. We're in the process of creating an alumni group, something like Friends of the Center. We would perhaps have dinners where we bring in a dynamic speaker to give a talk and/or have a text that everybody will have read, and have a faculty member lead the discussion.
Once you get out of academia, you lose the possibility to sit around with a bunch of people and talk about a text. It's something alumni really miss. I'd like alumni to think about the center as a place where they could do that.
What are your current academic projects? Has the interdisciplinary nature of the center influenced your work?
Dailey: I'm finishing up a book called Sex and Civil Rights. It looks at the civil rights movement from emancipation up until the 1970s, always through the lens of questions of sex and marriage. That project has been influenced very much by all kinds of chance encounters with faculty from other disciplines that I've met at Gender Studies—particularly Jackie Goldsby in English and Cathy Cohen in political science.
Zerilli: I'm working on a book called Toward a Democratic Theory of Judgment, which has a feminist dimension. One chapter is on "Feminism and the Problem of Judgment."
Interdisciplinary perspectives have been crucial for me in trying to get some kind of critical purchase on my own training. My early work was critiques of the political science canon from a feminist perspective. The only way I could engage in that was by getting to know people who were generating these feminist critiques. Literary theory was very important for me, as were philosophy, history, film theory.
At my dissertation seminar I always say to my students, you're probably thinking that people who specialize in different fields are not going to have a good question for you. But those are just the people who are going to ask the child's question: "Why? Why is that even interesting?" That is often the crucial question.

Homer Community Consolidated School District 33C recently hired Kara Coglianese to take over as superintendent beginning with the 2014-15 school year, according to a post on the district website.
Coglianese has been in education for 24 years and has been the superintendent since 2011 in St. George School District 258 in Bourbonnias, according to the district. She previously was assistant superintendent for curriculum, the director of learning, and a classroom teacher for 15 years.
Coglianese is to take over July 1. Supt. J. Michel Morrow notified the school board in September that he intended to retire after 37 years as an educator, including 24 in District 33C.

First Alert might be an old household brand but its new smart thermostat sounds like it's straight from the future.
D-Link seems to be channeling Belkin WeMo with its new $120 Wi-Fi camera and optional bundled accessories.
The Smarter Wi-Fi Coffee Machine combines "bean-to-brew" technology with a connected companion app so you can make your morning cuppa from bed.
Pricing not available
Belkin's brought a new member of its WRT router family to CES -- the Linksys WRT1200AC Dual Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router. Plus two new accessories add performance and features to its routers.
Though it's easy to use and having an extra band can result in higher speeds, the Linksys EA9200 doesn't have enough to justify its over-the-top price tag.
Though not as innovative as it should be, the Linksys AC2400 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router E8350 is still a very good router thanks to its fast 5Ghz Wi-Fi performance and comparatively friendly pricing.
The Ecobee3's sluggish touchscreen and glitchy apps held it back at first, but some major updates now make this smart thermostat worthy of your consideration.
D-Link's latest Wi-Fi Smart Plug delivers Belkin WeMo Switch functionality for less.
Despite its powerful hardware, the R7500 doesn't have the performance and features to justify its premium price tag.
As long as you respect its limitations and keep the camera steady, the Polaroid XS100i is a good easy-to-use budget-friendly option for dabbling in hands-free video.

Haha I didn't really know what to call this post… We got new carpet??
Well we did! But first I want to show you why.
*looks ashamed*
Just so you know, all of the above yuckies are gone for good throughout our entire house! Just for reference am I even showing you this… because lets face it. It's gross.
Our house is only 3.5 years old and yet it has seen a lot of use. At one point we had 3 very large dogs living here and this was their bedroom. So you betcha any time someone got muddy paws this room took the brunt of it. You can see in the photo on the left where a desk and one of those plastic carpet covers for your chair used to be because the carpet is still it's original color. The rest is. well. mud.
Oh and then there's that spot called "Me." Yeah, that was Me vs. a can of Kilz oil based primer. Once I tripped over it and saw what I had done I just shrugged. No way I was going to get oil based anything out of carpet without destroying my carpet cleaner. It just added to the reasons why we needed new carpet ;)
So after a lot of shopping and price comparing we settled on HGTV Home carpet from a local flooring company. It's a low pile loop, meaning it looks more like a crocheted sweater than a raggedy ann doll. It seemed to us it would be easier for babies to learn to walk on and also play on. We got a super upgraded pad to give it lots of cushion and chose a medium greige tone. I didn't want anything too light since everyone knows "boys will be boys" and there will be messes.
Just to throw in a little reality check… we set these up.
Yeah, how's THAT for intimidating??
Double trouble people! I can't wait to show you the finished room!
I'm kind of a proud Momma :)

Galata Kiva
Right next to the Galata Tower, Kiva benefits from a perfect location for visitors, yet it seems like only Turks eat there. Adnan Şahin, the impresario, is another great food theorist who serves ethnic Anatolian food. He finds ingredients such as the rare sirken, a mildly bitter valley green. Japanese plums stuffed with meatballs also hail from the region, as does fellah köfte, meatless bulgur dumplings steeped in spicy tomato broth. So meticulous is Şahin that he has fine snow delivered from mountain caves to top off his sherbets. "There's no question of interpretation," he says. "The food tastes exactly as it should." Dinner for two $45.
In a shopping mall near Levent, the center of upscale modern Istanbul, Osmani has a fresh and sharp range of Turkish food flavors. This is where health-conscious, time-strapped professionals dine in efficient comfort. From the cafeteria-style selection, start with a mixture of barely steamed wild greens and herbs from the Aegean area. Eat the yuvalama, a yogurty soup from the south, or the kadinbudu köfte, granular lamb balls with a fried crust, and you'll feel as if you lived in Turkey in a past life. Also on the menu: keshkek, a pulpy comfort food made of lamb, served at traditional Turkish weddings. Dinner for two $40.
You might call Zarifi the first postmodern meyhane with a mission to revive lost elements of Beyoğlu's past as a drinking, fun-loving ghetto from Byzantine days. Not to mention the food that went along with the mayhem. Owner Fehmi Yaşar worked as a filmmaker before launching the Byzantine cistern-like location right off Istiklal Street, the main pedestrian thoroughfare. (A waterfront location in Çubuklu, on the Asian side, is open from July through September.) Yaşar says he created the menu as a tribute to the old Ottoman minorities of the Beyoğlu area: Sephardic Jews, Armenians, Greeks, and others—and their dishes. Yaşar directed me to the Hungarian honey eggplant, an unprecedented sweet-savory flavor, and the Bosnian smoked meat cooked in oiled butcher paper. And eating the islim kebab—lamb on the bone wrapped in lush eggplant—felt like a homecoming on a winter's night. Dinner for two $40.

1. Liver Fluke (Fasciola Hepatica)
Liver Flukes |
Complex life-cycle involving water snails and water plants. When ingested the fluke develops in the intestine, burrows into the peritoneum and then to the liver where is eats liver cells for a few weeks then migrates to the bile duct where females can produce up to 25,000 eggs a day. Eggs are released into the intestines from where they are expelled in faeces. On reaching water they hatch and infect a water snails and so complete the life cycle.
Diarrhea, eosinophilia (raised white blood cell count), fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, hepatitis, obstructive jaundice
Benefits to the host:
2. Blood Flukes (Schistosoma mansoni, S. haematobium, S. japonicum, S. intercalatum, S. mekongi)
Blood Flukes |
Complex life-cycle involving water snails and several larval stages. Eggs hatch in water and lava infect water snails where they develop into a second larval stage which is free-swimming. On detecting human skin then attach themselves and burrow through the skin, often via a hair follicle. They then migrate to the circulatory system where males and females pair up and migrate to rectal or mesenteric veins where they live for many years producing 300-3000 eggs per day which are shed via the faeces or urine. When in water they hatch and complete the life-cycle.
Rash, itching, chills, cough, diarrhea, fatigue, fever and muscle aches. In children, anaemia, learning difficulties and malnutrition. Inflammation of intestines and liver may occur and, if the central nervous system becomes infected, paralysis, seizures and inflammation of the spinal cord may occur.
Benefits to the host:
3. Tape worms (Diphyllobothrium latum, Hymenolepis nana, Taenia saginata, T. solium
Tapeworm |
Head or Scolex of Tapeworm |
A group of segmented Cestoda known as tapeworms which live in the human intestinal tract, absorbing digested nutrients directly through their skin. H. nana can grow to a few centimetres in length, however, the other three listed here can reach many meters. The head, or scolex, of the tapeworm has hooks with which it attaches to the wall of the intestine. Each segment has its own male and female reproductive organs and can produce eggs on their own, however, they may mate with other segments from the same or another tapeworm. Eventually, when the segment is full of eggs it is shed from the end of the worm and is expelled from the host where it may be eaten by the secondary host (fish, rodent, cattle or pig respectively). In the secondary host the eggs hatch in the intestines, the larval form then migrate to muscles and form a cyst which may eventually be eaten by a human to complete the life cycle. In the case of H. nana microscopic eggs are shed via faeces from where they may contaminate food or be picked up on fingers. An estimated 30% of rodents sold as pets in stores in Connecticut are infected with H. nana.
Anal itching, bloody diarrhea, diarrhea, headache, increased appetite, insomnia, loss of appetite, muscle spasms. nausea, nervousness, seizures, stomach ache, vomiting,& weakness, weight loss.
Benefits to the host:
4. Giant roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides)
Giant Roundworms in the Intestinal Lumen |
Blockage of the biliary tract, diarrhoea, fever, nausea, obstruction of the bowel (which can be fatal), stomach ache, slower growing of a child or a teen, vomiting, weakness. During the larval stage, when the larva are developing in the lungs, symptoms may include breathing difficulty, cough and/or coughing up blood, eosinophilic pneumonitis.
Benefits to the host:
5. Entamoeba hystolytica.
Entamoeba hystolitica |
Flatulence, intermittent constipation, loose stools, stomach ache, stomach cramping, anemia, appendicitis, bloody diarrhea, fatigue, fever, genital and skin lesions, intermittent constipation, liver abscesses (can lead to death, if not treated), malnutrition, painful defecation, peritonitis, pleuropulmonary abscesses, toxic megacolon, weight loss.
Benefits to the host:
6. Malaria (Plasmodium falciparum)
Plasmodium (Malaria) Life-cycle. |
Chills, diarrhea, fever, general discomfort, headaches, muscle pains, nausea, sweating, vomiting, weakness, enlargement of the spleen or liver, hyperpyrexia, increased breathing frequency, mild anemia, mild jaundice, breathing difficulties, coma, confusion, focal neurologic signs, seizures, severe anemia, abnormalities in blood coagulation, hemoglobin in the urine, high acidity of the blood, hypoglycemia, low blood pressure, kidney failure and death. In pregnancy it can cause premature birth and low birth-weight. Babies can be infected from the mother and may cause blindness, deafness, speech difficulty, dyskinesia and paralyses.
Benefits to the host:
So Creationists, just six examples out of many, some more of which can be found here.
What on earth was your loving creator thinking of? How do these organisms fit into a model in which a creator created humans and made all the other living things FOR their benefit?
BTW, on a slightly different note. Some of the examples of parasitic worms have, during their evolution, become LESS complex since they no longer need to worry about evading predators, finding and digesting their own food, etc, so they show that an evolutionary process does not always mean increasing complexity. This is a very common phenomenon in parasites.
So tell me, how does LESS information give GREATER adaptation?

1v1 Proving Grounds Tournament PRIZE FOR THE WINNER
Hi guys i'd like to first thank each and every one of you for participating in the first tournament i have ever hosted! Overall it was a success although there are some things i would change if i decide to host more in the future. For example it took a long time and i want to commend all of you on your patience. I was doing it alone and i'm a busy full time student and work two jobs. So at time it may have seemed i wasn't interested in the tournament but trust me i was and we all pushed through and finished. Congratulations are in order for Restitution!! He was able to defeat all of his opponents on the proving grounds and is officially the winner of this tournament. Once again thank you all for playing, and there should be more fun to come and this was definitely a learning experience and was fun for me as well! UPDATE FINALS!!!!! 1/5/2012 congratulations are in order for the following 3 summoners who made it to the final round of my tournament. RichiesFaded Restitution SylReverie i'm proud to announce that the semi-final round has come to a close and the final round is now underway! The final round will be played like this; Each of the three finalists will have to play against one another in a best of 3 match. A victory grants 1 point and a loss grants no points. For example finalist 1 will play against finalist 2. Say finalist 1 wins 2-1. Finalist one gets 2 points while finalist 2 gets 1 point. So this would not eliminate either from the competition per se'. Finalist 1 still has to play against finalist 3 and finalist 2 also still has to play against finalist 3. The player with the most points at the end is the winner. The matches are to be played like this. RichiesFaded vs. Restitution --> RichiesFaded vs. SylReverie --> Restitution vs. SylReverie UPDATE 1/2/2012 Happy New Years everyone. I've come to a realization that i probably picked the worst time in my life to try and host a tournament when i can barely ever get on my computer. So if the lot of you haven't lost interest yet the semi-final matches are as followed. The format will be the same as the last round. Restitution vs. StimmedMarine RichiesFaded Vs. Dreadpirateomnom Warlord200 Vs. ShiningLight SEMI FINALS UPDATE!! 12/27/2012 Happy Holidays everyone! Hope everybody had a wonderful christmas, or if you don't celebrate i hope your week was a fantastic one! Round 2 was a success and the semi-finals are now here! The following summoners are only a few matches away from complete victory Restitution RichiesFaded DreadPirateOmNom Warlord200 StimmedMarine ShiningLight The matches will be set up tomorrow when i get the chance. I'm aware that the number of summoners still left means that the next and final round will contain 3 summoners! Those 3 summoners will play in a sort of round robin event for points to determine the ultimate winner. More information will be posted but i just wanted to update everybody after the holiday break most of us took! ROUND 2 UPDATE 12/18/2012 Hi everybody. Round one took quite some time and i apologize for that. Thank you for not flaming me and being patient. The tournament is still a go and round two kicks off today. Congratulations to the following list of summoners who proved themselves victorious in round 1 Lolgafaru VS. Restitution Thatoneasianguy VS RichiesFaded Kanchy VS. DreadPirateOmNom Slay VS. Warlord200 Trixs128 VS. StimmedMarine ShiningLight VS. DigBik To ensure things go a little faster this time i set the matches up beforehand. Please friend your opponent and play whenever is most convenient for the two of you, as long as you get back to me with the results. If possible screenshot the proof of victory, this won't be necessary i believe considering all of you seem to be honorable and will admit defeat. But just as a precaution in case somebody contests the outcome. I realized it wasn't fair to you all that you'd be ready to play all day but if i wasn't on then a match didn't happen. This allows for it to happen on your own time. The rules of course are the same and this round should go much faster as we've weeded out the inactive players, and there are fewer rounds to be played. Good luck see you on the proving grounds! UPDATE 12/15/2012 I'm aware a lot of you are feeling "in the dark" it seems as if the first two days or so i was very active in communicating with all of you and trying to get matches done. I work 2 jobs, go to college (finals are this week!) and i also run a martial arts class. I've been beyond busy and stressed out and i should have at least gotten on to tell people to be patient but i didn't think about it i'm sorry. There are 1 or 2 more matches that have yet to be played in round 1 and i will get on that ASAP. Once round 2 begins the pace will pick up exponentially and you will all be able to play again soon. Once again sorry for the way things have been this past week the tournament is still active! UPDATE: Got like 6 matches out of the way tonight thanks to everyone for playing i will get to round 2 as soon as i possibly can. Please remember some people are busier than you are so be patient not everyone can always be on and i would like a fair opportunity for everyone. Entry is now officially closed. Please see Below. if your name is not on the list i am sorry, perhaps next time! Hi, My name is KonTriVe MooSe. I'm the co-founder of the up and coming MLG clan KonTriVe. We aren't very big yet but i believe we are on the right path and we have some dedicated and talented players. I decided to do this because i think it will be fun and slightly more competitive since there's a reward. But basically the title explains it all. I am hosting a 1v1 tournament on the proving grounds map. Once i have about 15-20 people i will make up a bracket and arrange the matches myself. This will not be a double elimination tournament, meaning if you lose your match then better luck next time. However, in each respective "Match" 3 games will be played. The overall winner being whomever wins 2 of the 3 games. So if you have a bad game or make a mistake you do have a shot to redeem yourself in a best 2 out of 3 format. I chose proving grounds because it is a faster map, granting faster gold generation, experience, and using this map makes it easier to make the rules. Since it's one thing to tell people NO JUNGLE OR OTHER LANES. But it's great not to have to tell people a lot of hard to remember rules. The proving grounds is straight forward and self explanatory. The Rules go as followed 1.) A victory is determined upon the destruction of the opposing teams nexus, or a surrender. (Rage-quitting, or leaving are considered a surrender) In the event that somebody has a poor connection please wait 5 minutes. If the opposing summoner fails to reconnect within 5 minutes this will be considered a surrender, sorry. If you do happen to lose connection, and you and your opponent argue about the amount of time gone, i will settle it just message me. 2.) It will be blind pick. Although i like the idea of being able to ban undesirable or unfair champions. It's also quite unfair for the player who picks first, as any competent player can easily counter. Please don't contest this I thought long and hard about it and the decision stands. I'm a personal fan of draft pick but for the sake of this tournament lets all play nice. 3.) A player cannot use the same champion more than once in a "match". For example, i'm a godlike jax player, i pick jax, i win. Next game, pick jax again, win. It just isn't fun for the other person and it also eliminates the guessing factor from your opponents mind. The fact of the matter is you don't know who your opponent is going to pick ever because it is blind pick and they aren't allowed to use the same champion twice. 4.) I hate to play the parent role here and tell you all to respect each other, but seriously, i don't want to be responsible for a tournament where players are cussing each other out and threatening their lives. if you lose, sorry. Please just keep your negativity to yourself only constructive criticism and positive conversation here if somebody has a problem with this screenshot it and let me know. If there's proof of somebody being verbally abusive and rude they're disqualified i don't care how good of a player they are. thats it sorry that was LONG WINDED so if you actually read all that and are still here, and interested, or have questions, then message me in game. KonTriVe MooSe. Winner gets 25 dollar RP gift card. i will buy it and gift it to your account from best buy's online store. Thank you everybody for the excitement and willingness to participate! I added everybody who claimed to be interested on the forums/ along with those who contacted me in game or by other means. I added every name into the bracket and we have 28 players! Entry to this tournament is now closed! The participating summoner list goes as followed: Nexevis Shelburnn Belvig Extol Lolgafaru Naruuzmk Restitution Youohnome Thatoneasianguy GspotLuv3r Niker411 RichiesFaded Inderous Rzzy Kanchy ProphetofTears Quilna NifTP Isajij PirateofDreadOmNom GenreNinja Slay Warlord200 Trixs128 Brodden StimmedMarine ShiningLight DigBik The number of summoners, and the fact that everybody has different schedules and can only play at certain times will probably cause this tournament to drag on for quite some time but i am trying my best to work with everybody individually and set the matches up efficiently and fairly. I am also doing this by myself! So please don't be harsh on me. Matches will begin ASAP and i will contact you. If you have yet to add me in game a request should have been sent out. If your name is on the list, and i am not added please add me when you log in and we will work on match times. Good luck everybody. |

Check out video of call for action to Obama and then call the White House Now! Juan Parras from TEJAS and Katherine McFate of the Center for Effective Government explain Chemical Security in the Houston Chronicle, October 20, 2013 - Much work remains in the West Background Chemical Security is a term that describes community protection from chemicals that are often stored near where people are living, or that are transported through residential areas, posing a hazard to people and the environment. Every day, millions of people live and work in the shadow of 12,440 high-risk chemical plants that store and use highly hazardous chemicals with the potential to kill or injure thousands of workers and community residents. Eighty-nine of these facilities put more than one million people at risk. The people who live in communities surrounding these facilities are at greater risk than anyone except the workers in the plant in the event of an explosion or catastrophic release of a poison gas. These communities are more likely to be low-income communities and communities of color. Chemical manufacturing plants, chemical storage facilities (such as those use for wastewater treatment plants or manufacturing), train yards and port facilities are typical areas where chemical security is an issue. The locations where corporations tend to build these chemical storage areas are likley to be in low income communities of color, whose families are disproportionately impacted by the chemicals exposures. The Environmental Justice and Health Alliance for Chemical Policy Reform is a key partner in the Coalition to Prevent Chemical Disasters - a collaboration of health, labor, environmental justice, public health and public interest organizations who are calling on the Obama Administration to protect communities by requiring chemical facilities to use safer chemicals and processes where available and affordable President Obama recently issued an executive order for a multi-agency effort to come up with a policy to protect the public from chemical disasters. On October 11, 2013, the Coalition released a new public opinion research poll commissioned by EJHA and other partners, which found strong bipartisan report for federal requirements to protect communities from chemical disasters. Read news release. Listen to the news teleconference. Check out the slide show about the poll. Juan Parras, founder of Texas Environmental Justivce Advocacy Services (TEJAS) in Houston, was one of four principal speakers in the Coalition's national press conference releasing the poll results. Juan said: "Right after 911, The Texas Attorney General came to Houston and spoke to us and explained that of every category that qualifies as a terrorist target, Houston as at least one each of those terrorist targets. We have more fertilizer and chemical plants in our petrochemical corridor than anywhere else in the country. If a terrorist hits here, millions would die and millions more would become more sick than they are now from chemical exposure.I hope that President Obama comes up with a real policy that protects our community from the dangers of these chemicals."

I've come to a conclusion about girls. Many of them like to be treated like shit. They do. I see it all the time, everywhere. This explains why I'm single. I'm too nice. I'm too sweet and caring and submissive. If I treat girls like shit, they'll like me. Am I being sarcastic right now? Sort of. Not entirely.
Let me share with you how I came to this conclusion. My best friend, once again, pushed me aside for some guy who (surprise!) treats her horribly. She promised we'd spend the day together yesterday. I hear nothing from her throughout the entire day. Finally, at around eightish, she texts me saying that she's all happy because she just spent the day with this asshole who's been a jerk to her and suddenly everything's great. She COMPLETELY "forgot" about spending the day with me.
Once she realized this, she apologized over and over again. I was really short and rude to her throughout our conversation. I think she deserved it. This wouldn't be such a big deal, but she does this ALL THE TIME. She gets head over heels over some random asshole and puts him before me. I have to listen to her rave about guy after guy after guy, I give her advice, I act happy for her, I play the role of the supportive best friend.
But it doesn't matter how much support I show, how much advice I give, how much I listen to her. She'll never appreciate me. Not only this, but EVERY TIME she says we'll hang out, we never do. Something always comes up. Always. And I'm tired of all this. I'm tired of being a doormat.
So I sent her one final text: "You like guys who treat you like shit. Maybe if I treat you like shit too, you'll like me more. What do you think?"
I'm glad I hurt her feelings. She needs to know what it feels like, to be pushed aside. I haven't spoken to her since yesterday. I'm waiting to see how long it'll take before one of caves and breaks the silence. And it's not gonna be me this time.
So yeah. This Christmas break has really not been fun. My best friend has yet again let me down, my cold won't go away, and I still have not collected the courage to text Brittany. Everything is a big ball of suck right now and I feel really, really alone. I just wanna crawl in bed and sleep the rest of break away. That is what I'll probably end up doing.
Sorry I'm being all mopey and depressed. I haven't felt like this in quite awhile because I've been feeling so optimistic and good lately, but emotional slumps have to happen some time, I suppose. I just feel like everything I'm going through right now I'm going through alone. I really don't have anybody, except for my best friend, and look at how that's turning out. Bleh.
heard of women who like being treated like shit but never met one
if you need any help with texting Brittany just ask me the resident expert on this
i only drink irn bru and the occassional blood of my enemies
And I don't think it's that they like being treated like shit, it's that they feel that if a person that's normally a douche is nice to them, that makes them some huge special deal and oh they must be a big deal to them
(but usually it just means casual sex)
That's redick!
Frankly that just seems like a stupid idea... :P I wish all the women in the world would just die out... kind of like a oppisate version of that comic Y... :P I hate them so much... well... at least all women younger than me... or 10 years older... basically those not in my family :P Then there are a couple in my family I would love to see gone too :P...
Though I like you Dracofang... though the reason is that sinice we haven't met... it leave you kind of androyous to me. If you know what I mean... sinice I have never seen your face I don't know what you look like and can kind of think of you as a boy or girl :P
Here's a recent picture of me with my new haircut and coat on
And I'm 16, younger than you. So do you hate me now? :P
That's redick!
i only drink irn bru and the occassional blood of my enemies
Right. Or because they feel like that's how a relationship is supposed to work, with the guy being an asshole and them trying to change the guy for the better. In my best friend's case, I have no idea. You'd think she'd have more common sense, but I think she's just desperate for attention from the opposite sex, even if that attention is negative. She's kinda all over the place with her emotions...really, I've suspected that she could very well be bipolar. She craves stability and she looks for it in a guy. Sad, really. Also very annoying.
Her stepdad hates her. He thinks she's a delinquent, a worthless, good-for-nothing brat. She absolutely adores her real dad, but her dad's wife also hates her and tries to keep her from her father. So, both of her step parents hate her and she's kept from her real dad. So no, not really.
I dunno what it is, but lack of proper father figures tend to make girls like that...
That's redick!
I don't have a proper father figure, and I'm not like that. You can't explain that! :P
me too i only knew my father till i was 6 and im not like that either
i only drink irn bru and the occassional blood of my enemies
...especially when you're young (guessing that you're in that category) can be extremely convoluted!
My best advice would be to slough it off. Difficult, I know... but saying anything that may be a bit critical stands little chance of winning friends.
My guess is that she'd like to remain your friend, but not quite ready for a "committed" relationship!
I'd put up with her being a bit flaky. If she knows that you're willing to give her some space... I bet your friendship with her will not suffer...
In the meantime, pursue other friendships!
I'm just gonna avoid talking her until she says something to me first. I'll let her be the one to initiate a conversation. If she wants me, she knows where to find me.
My critical remark isn't something I really regret saying...I think she needs to hear the truth, blunt and unedited. Maybe it was a bit snide and rude, but that, I think, is the only way for her to realize that she clings to guys who only hurt her, while I sit on the sidelines being all nice and sweet.
Frankly you are right... I have noticed the exact same thing about them. Which is one of the reasons I have come to despise and hate them so much :P... Good observation, I gald someone else notices it also.
Most girls are like this, yes. But not every single one of us is like that. Like me, for example. I'm not like that.
I think 90% of females around my age are not worth knowing. At this age, girls are vindictive, selfish, whiny, pretentious...all sorts of negative things. BUT then there's the rare 10% (coughcoughBrittanycough), the percentage of girls who are awesome and fun and not bitchy or gossipy. I'm on the lookout for that 10%. They're out there, somewhere.
They are not real, but you can keep telling yourself that :)... Frankly no girl is worth knowing... and are kind of better off dead...
That is why I am not friends with any of them anymore and never will be agian. Plus I am kind of going to not work for a women if I can help it :P I like to think of women as being a serperate speices...
To me you are not a girl... you are well... you don't have a sex... becuase we talk to each other through type and I have never seen your picture... you are simply genderless to me, and frankly if you did show me your picture we would stop talking... or at least I would be a hella lot more negative in your direction... though I love you anyway radio *Huggles*
Thought frankly I am alot like your friend. I would galdly except a abusive relationship, though for me it is more of the fact that I just want a relationship... so that I can pretend I have someone who loves me in that way. I don't care about anything, and maybe I can give some sex form them too. Plus after I get bored with them if they are a abusive boyfriend.... well at that point I get the fun of ruining someones life by calling the cops and sending his ass to jail... becuase I can promise there will be marks on me :D It will be so funny, and frankly I can't wait to do it to my roomates.
Not gonna get sucked into this. All I know is that I've met a few girls that are NOT skanky or bitchy. I have a gigantic crush on an awesome girl right now, so I know they exist. Maybe not in your little world, but in my world.
Yup, I'm a girl, picture or no picture. And I'm not a skanky vindictive dramatic bitch, believe it or not. I'm not genderless just because we've never seen each other, broski. Hate to tell you that. I'm a female :P
Eh. If you would really choose an abusive relationship over being alone, then that's your preference. And that DOES sound a lot like my friend, actually. That's weird. You're not my best friend in disguise, are you? :P
Sorry for my world not being big... I don't have a car... or a way to get around. Not really my fault :( So don't be a fucking asshole to me over it... some people have tons of money to by thier kids cars... other people don't... like my parents... they are spending all there money sending me to college... so show a little fucking respect... and don't be a asshole toward situations that you don't understand.
That's not what I meant. I meant the states and towns we live in, bro. My world is really small too, actually. I don't get around much either. I didn't mean to offend you. Sorry. Forgive me? <3
Sure I forgive you *Huggles* But I am still mad at you about it... I will have to sleep on it to get rid of my anger :(
all the females i know about my age are not like this i only know i proper bitch and thats my mum
i only drink irn bru and the occassional blood of my enemies
I had a friend like that in high school. Everything was about her and her skanky relationship failures. Long story short, we didn't stay friends much longer when high school ended.
I agree with elph, certainly there are healthier friendship opportunities. In any case, I'm glad you stood up for yourself! Some people need that kind of message to get a hint, and I really hope she comes around and starts being more considerate.
As for you being single, your positive personality traits may play a role at the present . . . but that's because high school is make believe land. You're obviously more realistic and ideal when it comes to how to act in a relationship, and the others are still catching on..Your qualities will be appreciated soon enough, those chicks just gotta grow up. Once they get their heart broken by assholes a few timss, they will finally be enlightened of how amazing sweet people are!
Anyway, I hope your break starts looking up, you deserve it.
Hate to tell you kid... that never happens... I have seen these so called girls who have had thier hearts broken a by a few assholes, and frankly they are still doing the same damn thing. In my opintion about 90% of the women are actually the stupid things on the face of the earth when it comes to relationship common sense. So they deserve getting there ass beat because they just keep walking back to it... and frankly I hope it kills them... becuase that is what is going to happen. Which is why I find when people get killed by demestotic abuse to be the funniest thing... becuase most of the time it was there own damn fault. Trust me... I know, becuase my dad is currently a victim of it and he still won't get out and I know he could kick the ass of that fat women... so yeah I mean I don't feel sorry for people like that... I laugh at them.
You can think people suffering from domestic violence is funny. Have you ever heard of learned helplessness? It's an unfortunate psychological leash experienced by most animals . . . afterall, we are animals. So, go ahead and laugh at these animals, including your father, suffering from what nature has wired into them. But if you laugh now, don't complain when bullies laugh at you for what nature has wired into you.
Lehcure... you do understand you are talking to someone who hates the human race... becuase of what they have done to me frankly I hate the human race, and really think it is funny when any of them suffer. I only dislike seeing animals suffer... and no I don't consider humans to be animals... becuase if we where actually animals... we wouldn't be doing the evil things that we do to each other.
And you better check yourself on what you are saying about the bullies and me getting laughed at... right now!!! In fact I want a apoligy sinice you seem to think it is so funny that I am getting bullied... is that what it is? You enjoy the fact I am getting bullied?
I'm not apologizing because I never once said that I think it is funny that you are bullied. In all seriousness, it upsets me to know you're bullied. But it also upsets me to know you laugh at humans suffering. Because bullies laugh at humans suffering, and the last thing I want to do is think of you as a bully. Try breaking the cycle.
Animals aside from humans do "evil" things to each other, too. Haven't you ever seen the lion king :P. Just watch an animal documentary, you'll see.
Really though, humans are animals. We are classified within the animal kingdom. We may have evolved cognitive skills that make us appear unanimal, but we are animals. We are driven by the same things every animal is driven by. We've just made those biological drives more complicated. Don't be fooled though.
Oh, I have a feeling our friendship will fade slowly after high school. But I've learned a lot from it, so I have no regrets about knowing her. I have other friends, but they don't listen to me like she does. In fact, they never speak to me outside of school. She's the only friend of mine who texts me all the time, and listens to me, and knows that I'm gay, and doesn't judge me. I've made some new friends, but they're casual friends. ALL of my friends are casual friends. I have fun with them, but I could never talk to them about anything serious.
I don't think I'm gonna get a girl until college. But that's okay. It'll be well worth the wait. And thank you :)

I have had venus flytraps before, the first couple died but then i got the hang of it and took such good care of one it bloomed! but, that one never came out of dormancy for some reason... it just rotted.
well it's been a while since i had one and i just got a new one at walmart, i transplanted it into 100% sphagnum peat and it is sitting on a tray of pumice with a string through the holes in the pot to wick moisture. also, how much light do they need? i thought they didnt need much so i put it in a north facing window next to my orchid. is this ok? should i add a flourescent light or move it to a west window? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You're failing in most ways with these. They need to be in a 50/50 mix of peat moss and perlite. FULL SUN. Sit in a tray of rain or distilled water about 3/4" deep. BELOW their rhizomes. They NEED a dormancy period in fall winter. about 35-40 degrees F. |
- Posted by greenthumz1 8a (My Page) on Thu, Oct 4, 12 at 1:31
Yeah it had some deformed leaves when i bought it... probably because it was already in 100% peat moss (which is why i transplanted it into the same). Thanks for the help :) I transplanted it into 50/50 and put it into a south facing (but filtered with reflective tint) window and a big cfl light. It now has many, many new leaves coming up so it's obviously happier :) OH, also, I used a mycorrhizae treatment on the roots when i transplanted it, but I know carnivorous plants are sensitive to synthetic chemicals and salts and fertilizers... a mycorrhizal fungi shouldnt hurt it though right? I'm thinking that may be why it's showing practically NO signs of transplant shock and has all the new leaves already. |
50/50 peat sand is also a good soil mix How were keeping the dormant one that rotted??? This is how "I" do it & have never had any problems Good Luck |
- Posted by greenthumz1 8a (My Page) on Sat, Oct 20, 12 at 1:35
Ok thanks I will try that :) The last one i dug up, trimmed the roots & traps off the corm, dusted the corm with rootone powder (it has fungicide in it so i figured that would keep it from molding), and then placed it in a moist folded paper towel in a ziploc bag. 3 months later, it was a ziploc bag full of moldy paper towel and a moldy corm. And I think I figured out why this VFT keeps losing traps and growing new, deformed ones. because all the traps started falling off and i pulled on it and the whole corm lifted out because it had some kind of bugs in the soil eating the roots and old traps from the base... but i'm going to try to save this corm by putting it into dormancy and then replanting in spring. |

My VFT'S are going into there second yr. dormancy period . Last yr I kept them on a window sill that averaged a temp of 40 F. There were some heart breaking experiance's over the yr's though ..Although this sight sure is fantastic to prevent certain desater's .Bug's are a heck of a neusence to the ryesume's .

I am extremely happy to announce that Qt 5.4 Beta is now available for download. There are a lot of new and interesting things in Qt 5.4 and I will try to summarize the most important highlights in this blog post.
Powerful Web Offering with Qt WebEngine
As the importance of HTML5 has grown we want to provide the best support for HTML5 within the Qt technology offering. The Qt WebEngine, a long-term R&D project based on the Chromium web engine has now reached fully supported version on desktop and embedded platforms.
Qt WebEngine provides a convenient API for both Qt Widgets and Qt Quick for using the Chromium web engine. Besides plain web viewing purposes Qt WebEngine takes full benefit of the whole Qt graphics stack integration allowing you to mix and overlay native Qt controls with web contents and OpenGL shaders. Of course, the fact that Qt provides a full application framework around the web engine makes Qt WebEngine truly an unparalled web engine API.
The new Qt WebChannel module acts as the bridge between QML/C++ and HTML/JavaScript allowing you to expose QObjects into the web context.
For platforms that do not allow distribution of Qt WebEngine as well as use cases where a full-blown web engine is not needed Qt 5.4 will introduce a technology preview of a new module called Qt WebView. It supports embedding the native web engines of the underlying operating system into Qt, and is currently available for Android and iOS. Because of this, Qt WebView also gives a convenient light-weight solution for simple web document integration. Qt WebView will be available with Qt 5.4 final as a separate add-on.

Ever thought which is the hardest job for graphic designers? Let me…It is to effectively visualize a concept into a single image. This is the exact requirement in creating a powerful print ad for newspaper, magazine or billboards. A print ad copy consists of two elements: visual imagery and typography. Although a picture is worth ...
One has to agree…within last few years advertising industry has manifestly overtaken the media world. Today print ads are conveying big messages to the world in an impressive and unforgettable manner. I believe print ads to be one of the fastest ways to attract potential customers but if they are not interesting or memorable, ...
Don't you ever wish to know the secret recipe of a successful logo design? I know it's a lame question as there is none :( . We keep experimenting with our logo designs to come up with eye-catching and interest-grabbing logos. But in the end, we still don't know which type of logo design will be a hit…. ...
There were times when people use to prefer frilly and vividly decorative logos but now time and trends have changed. To have a successful logo, designers are playing more with the fonts nowadays. Although clients coming up with the requirement to have a "type based logo" think such logos are easy to design. Maybe many of you won't agree to this statement of mine…designing a typographic logo is much more ...

Free Entry
Designed by Brisbane architects Hall and Dods in American colonial style, Maryborough City Hall was erected in 1908 to replace the original timber Town Hall which stood on the opposite side of Kent Street. The exterior was built with locally made Meredith bricks and red cedar was used extensively throughout the interior. In 1935 the clock tower, curtain tower and stage were added.
... moreThe auditorium features a semi-circular barrel-vault ceiling. Elaborate classical detail adorns the stage, columns and the proscenium and features Maryborough's city emblem - the Crimson Bottlebrush. The Hall was restored and refurbished in early 1990.
Call in to the Visitor Information Centre, enjoy a free daily guided heritage walking tour or see the firing of the time cannon each Thursday on the City Hall Green.
... less
Children are welcome to visit the hall and spend time on the attached green, where 10 Mary Poppins Characters are etched onto brick plinths. The children can take a copy with them simply by placing a piece of paper over the etching and rubbing with a pencil.
The halls main entrance has a ramp. For access to the upper levels the hall has been fitted with an elevator for wheelchair access.
General Comments
In front of City Hall is a replica small cannon. The original, found on Marbiak Island in the Torres Strait was presented to the town as a Christmas gift in 1877. Cast in 1750 for the Dutch East India Company, it is now located in the Bond Store Port of Maryborough Museum in Wharf Street. The Time Cannon is fired on the City Hall Green every Thursday at 1.00 p.m. by the Town Crier and Mary Heritage.

And we thought donkeys as lawn ornaments were pushing it. |
A good friend of mine said most of my commentaries for KOSU were pretty milquetoast. Then I took a writing webinar with Penelope Trunk and she offered to review some of our writing samples. When she read my sample she said,
"What is this? I don't know what this is. Isn't commentary suppose to be earth shattering?" This is the piece I sent her.
This is what I like so much about Penelope. She has the rare talent of being brutally honest without being cruel. All the while she's so funny and she doesn't even know it. Her subplot, Melissa, knows this. And, I love a good subplot, by the way!
So, my radio commentaries are not so earth-shattering. And, sometimes my infrequent emails to Penelope are more interesting than my blog posts. Like the time she posted about being at ground zero on 9-11 and I wrote back and told her I passed a makeshift memorial to Julie on the fence outside the Oklahoma Bombing Memorial, and I noticed that her hair had completely gone out of style and it hit me like a truckload of bricks.
My conversations with Louisa are earth-shattering sometimes. She called me Sunday night and I answered the phone with a deadpan hhhhhhhellooooooooooooo.
She laughed and asked me what was wrong. I told her:
I just threw a toy horse across the room because my kids' rooms are a disaster and I'm sick of cleaning them. And, to make matters worse everyone is watching TV and nobody even knows I'm throwing stuff. This is how I know I've gone crazy. I'm throwing stuff and talking to myself and nobody can even see me.
I know I've found a friend for life when I can say I hate my life and she starts laughing. If anyone ever says something like, I'm really sorry to hear you're having such a hard time, they can totally forget about ever having lunch with me.
Then I told Louisa about one of my kids interrogating me.
Why did you take me to the park? I did not want to go to the park. Please tell me right now why you took me to the park…Why won't you answer me!?
I finally told him we went to the park because I'm a stupid, horrible mother.
You're not stupid. Why did you take me to the park? I didn't want to go…
Today, my radio commentary on KOSU was about street photography. It won't shake your chandeliers, but hopefully, you'll find it informative. I'm not going to post the text because I've already said it all in a dozen or so posts over the last couple weeks. So, if you want to hear it you can read these instructions or just go to iTunes and type "KOSU podcasts." You'll find them all there. My commentaries air around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesdays on KOSU. That's 107.5 in Tulsa or 91.7 in Oklahoma City. You can also listen live. One of my goals for 2013 is to write fewer milk-toast commentaries.
The other night when I tucked my son into bed, this is what he told me.
Mom, do you know why I didn't like the park? The sun was so bright in my eyes and the goal was too high and I couldn't make any baskets. And I didn't get to swing on the tire swing because these other kids were hogging it. And, I'm sorry I was mean to you, Mom. I like to go to the park.
Sometimes, the truth is very hard to get at.
Here are a few of my favorite street photography pictures from the last week or so. I like the woman in the lower left-hand corner of the picture below. She's just walking by, staring straight ahead. And, the guy in the hoodie standing behind the station wagon. That's a cool car. I didn't see him or the woman in my viewfinder.

When I was in grade school I was so fascinated by a story in my reader about the Watts Towers in Los Angeles. It was more important to me to see this urban landmark than it was to go to Disneyland, but I've been to Disneyland at least 15 times and I've never seen the Watts Towers. I think it's one of the most important public art projects of the 20th Century, and it just goes to show you how much someone can accomplish in their spare time.

Usually stands for an event which involves "battle of the classes". Taken place during high school events. battle between classes of the freshmen, sophomore, junior, and seniors. Each class devises about a 20 minute skit which tie together with an overall theme. schoos judges evaluate each skit and determine the winner, winning spirit points for that class. What makes fantastics unique is that students from each class have to gather classmates, write a skit, choreograph dances, make costumes... etc basically devise a mini show.
Hey, did you go to Fantastics?
Yeah! I did, the Junior's skit was soo much better than the Sophomores
