However, when I innocently asked folks about it, I got some strangely hesitant reactions.
One lady got so flustered and tight-lipped, she wouldn't answer my question. I can't imagine why though. What could be so terrible that it couldn't be talked about?
And it's really not such a secretive subject. At least, I don't think it is.
I recently had occasion to think about what folks studied in college ... or what they had wanted to study ... and what they actually wound up doing for their life's work.
When I Googled this topic, I actually found the number much lower than I thought it would be. I found that it is estimated that 60 percent of folks do not work in the field in which they graduated. That leaves 40 percent of folks who do. Now, I will also add that 40 percent includes people who work in fields related to their original ones, so, maybe that's why the number of people — at 40 percent — is so high. At least it seems high to me because I don't know too many people who actually work in their studied field.
Over the years, when I have talked with people, I would have said the number not working in what they studied in school was at least 80 percent, if not more, depending on the field.
Judging from myself, for example, I don't work in the field I studied — at least, not originally studied and planned on working in.
I was heading toward being an interpreter. English, German, French. Ah, French. French and I collided, and French won. Won! It devastated me like Wellington did Napoleon at Waterloo kind of won! I kinda stumbled into photography. I guess I sorta had the language part down. Funny, but I actually helped perfect my English by studying German and French because I had to actually "think" about the English language. It kinda helped too that I was kinda genetically disposed to the use of languages. My dad graduated from journalism school too.
I finally also went to journalism school and studied writing, photography and design, but, I'm really not sure how that happened. It was a slow progression. I worked in photography in the Army Reserves. They placed me there. Then, after working in photography briefly, I decided I liked it and would get some formal training in it. While there, I thought it would be best to not only study photography, but the other areas of journalism as well.
I am just so infinitely curious, I just had to know what all the others were doing.
That landed me back — or should I say into — language again.
And here I am today. I guess, I could consider myself one of the 40 percent, since I am working in something related to languages.
But I only spoke to one fella who actually is working specifically in the field he studied in college. And, you want to know why he is? Well, it's because his parents had the forethought to guide all their children into not only thinking about what they would do for their careers, but also made them actually get jobs in the field. It worked out for him. And, it worked out for his sister as well, but in the opposite way. His sister wanted to be a secretary. Her parents made her get a job in an office as an assistant while still in high school.
She didn't like it.
But now, at least she knew before wasting a lot of unhappy years and a lot of time at a school studying something she would hate and either eventually give up or hate working at the rest of her life.
So, I see now, that it's beneficial either way. Youngsters just have to be guided to make a concrete plan to figure out what they really want to do with the rest of their lives.
This brother and sister were lucky.
So was a young employee who graduated from college about six years ago. He also works in a field he studied for — engineering. But it was with planning and forethought that he did the practical work — researching fields, trying out different jobs, finding out the possible job openings predicted, figuring out what school was best for him rather than going where friends went, or choosing a career like medicine versus, say, philosophy — without any thought as to the job market, or making plans to go to a company, a location that would have the job he was hoping to find.
One of his guidance counselors told him to get practical experience. That was a gigantic help to him and immensely helpful advice, which he ravenously took.
Most of his friends, however, didn't do their homework and are now floundering, working at menial jobs, or working at jobs not related to their studies, or just not doing much of anything with their time and their lives.
They are just now getting down to brass tacks and trying to figure out what to do.
In my research, I did come up with a few specific pieces of advice that might help the budding student with this lifelong work dilemma.
I found a list of the supposed five worst job fields.
I don't know how accurate this list is, but here they are for you to judge.
The first listed was social work.
The second, elementary school teachers.
Drama and the theater arts. I would kinda have to agree with this one.
Next, family and consumer studies. I'm not even sure what field those are. Sales?
And, fifth is anthropology and archaeology. I wonder if Indiana Jones knows this?
But, after all, he is a fictional character, so, I guess he doesn't count.
Yet, I can identify with those, as well as sympathize, who would like to enter these fields. I can see the attraction to most of them, as well as the difficulties for a career that they represent.
Yes, it's difficult, almost daunting, to try to figure out how you want to spend the rest of your life at the ripe old age of 18.
I know. I've been there.
But then again, I'm still not sure what I really want to do when I grow up. Or, if I ever really will — grow up, that is.

Domain Name Wire's posting frequency
It's been fairly steady since 2008.
Occasionally I'll run into someone at a conference who says "I've noticed you don't post nearly as much ever since you started doing work for Media.net" or something to that effect.
I've kind of brushed these comments off because I feet like I post just as much as I used to. But after the third person said that I decided I'd just run the numbers to see if I was right.
Behold, the numbers…
Here's my monthly posting frequency since the blog started:
As you can see, my posting frequency has been fairly level since early 2008. That's when I stopped working on another startup and went full time in the domain name business. Prior to that I'd do about a post a day in my spare time.
I can't find any patterns to show a drop in posts in the past couple years.
In looking at these numbers I noticed that there's a decent variation between months. Some months are about 80 posts whereas others are over 100. A couple factors seem to be at play. One is simply how much interesting domain names comes out during the month. The other is if there's a conference. When I attend a domain name conference (or do other travel) it's hard to keep up with posts.
8 Comments
According to the Domain Blogs 2012 infographic
shown on HybridDomainer last week you are 2nd in the most posts section with almost 3 posts a day.You should check it out. -
The impression of whether one posts a lot or less is created by the overall surrounding "white noise". There are more bloggers posting and a lot of readers follow news aggregators, versus individual blogs. That being said, it's indeed hard to maintain a full time job and the role of a domainer.
You post when you have something to say and that makes your post count just perfect for me!
Your posting frequency is ok but quality of your posts has gone way down.
Please don't take it in a negative way I still read your blog.
Before joining media.net you used to write long investigative posts and you were not afraid of stepping on other people's toes while exposing the wrongs and doing the right thing.
Now a days, your posts are short and quick and also you hesitate to say something to offend anyone. Case in point, some times you have gone out of your way to praise/help others such as epik when you said people whose doamins got banned/deindexed by google will may end up getting $5000 worth portals from epik.
That kind of stuff makes bloggers lose credibility when companies don't deliver.
Just my honest opinion.
I wish you bring back your investigative posts. I loved those.
Maybe it's the type of posts that they want and aren't seeing ? You've definitely added more content type (udrp insight and info on domain buys)
Outside of the gtld news bomb though, there generally isn't much activity is there ? There's also enough people covering the press releases and sales reports.
You've done a fine job of keeping a flow of info and keeping it interesting. Hard work to do with a full-time gig. props
I thought you were posting more.Especially since you started doing the sales roundup.
Love it Andrew, keep it up, I'm reading!

13 questions for the Illinois State Board of Elections
The members of the Illinois State Board of Elections are awfully thin-skinned about seeing their names in boldfaced type on this page. Too bad. These political appointees are paid $37,571 a year ($58,441 for the chairman), plus expenses, to administer the state's election laws. They answer to the taxpayers who pay their salaries. Or do they?
If several of the board members are trying instead to eliminate a threat to the Democratic power structure, they couldn't do a much better job. Their clumsy judgments on the ballot eligibility of a constitutional amendment to curb gerrymandering suggest that they're serving incumbent pols, not the people of Illinois.
If and when the election board's decisions are appealed to courts of law, we hope judges will ask why the board has behaved as if it wants to disenfranchise the more than half-million Illinoisans who signed petitions.
But as we wait for courts to take over, we have our own questions for the board members — Jesse Smart, Casandra Watson, Bryan Schneider, Betty Coffrin, Ernest Gowen, Charles Scholz, William McGuffage and Harold Byers:
From the get-go some of you have signaled that you're in a rush to be done with this measure, as if you're taking out the trash at night rather than overseeing a process by which Illinois citizens seek to amend their state constitution. Did you decide to rush all by yourselves or did someone help you with that?
•Why are you obsessed with meeting an Aug. 22 deadline — more than two months from now — for certifying the November ballot? If being fair to the petitioners delays your process and forces some judges to work overtime sorting out the inevitable disputes, so what? Judges can work weekends too.
The nature of these proceedings places you in the role of judge and jury over questions about the performance of the agency you oversee. To put it another way: It's up to you, the Board of Elections, to decide whether the Board of Elections messed up by disqualifying valid signatures. You should be bending over backward to assure the public you're not just covering your keisters. How can you be objective if you keep whining about being "blamed"?
•While we're here: Why are you so sure the fault lies with the people across Illinois who collected the signatures and not the people in your agency who counted them?
Individual state examiners' results were all over the map. One threw out 86 percent of the signatures he or she checked; another threw out a mere 16 percent. Isn't this a red flag?
Why is it so easy for the government to discard a signature and so hard for the petitioners to restore one? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
The process of qualifying this measure for the ballot is playing out under a brand new set of rules: Instead of having local elections officials check signatures and forward the results to Springfield, your board's workers examined a random sample and projected the number of valid signatures. The result, it appears, was fewer people, working faster, to evaluate signatures. Why is this an improvement? Doesn't it make you nervous?
•The changes are part of an omnibus election code bill that lawmakers passed in 2011 — the year after the League of Women Voters came close to getting a redistricting amendment on the ballot. Did you help craft that bill? Do you think these changes better facilitate the democratic process? Or should we not ask?
How is the public interest served by cutting short the appeals process? First you overruled your hearing officer's decision to give Yes for Independent Maps another week to collect documents to support its petitions. Then you refused to approve subpoenas to expedite the collection of those materials, forcing the campaign to rely on the Freedom of Information Act to get them. Naturally, many of them haven't yet arrived. How can you justify disqualifying the evidence that was delayed by your action?
If you're so sure the amendment sponsors won't be able to prove their signatures are valid, why have you taken so many steps to limit the evidence they can present?
Board member Bryan Schneider has more than once suggested that you stop second-guessing your hearing officer and let her do her job. That's a fine idea. Why don't you do it?
Public attendance at Tuesday's board meeting showed the high level of interest in this amendment. How about a microphone in a hearing room that seats 150?
We note that the attorney leading the charge to keep this amendment off the ballot is thick as thieves with Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. That's fine. But why do you jump every time Michael Kasper says "frog"?

Things I liked:This are positively the best pellet I have ever shot! The accuracy is usually excellent although the odd shot goes off. The speed and penetration is PHENOMENAL! Blows THROUGH cans no problem. Nice clean entry and exit. Goes 2-3mm counter sunk into a 2x4! Almost disappears into the wood. Better than ANY other pellet! Things I would have changed:More pellets would be nice. What others should know:Watch out for ricochets! These bounce off hard! Things I liked:Great penetration and lead-free; actually made with stainless steel core!!! Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:Will stray/start to loose elevation after around 50yrds with high powered pellet rifle or in high winds. Things I liked:They fly straight, What others should know:they are light and strikely for target no real energy behind them.

How important are the fundamental techniques? They are like a foundations for are future development. The simple middle punch is used in almost every pattern we learn in Taekwon-do. Front kick, side kick, turning kick – required for the yellow belt are most popular attacking tools in sparring when foot techniques are considered.
For these and many other reasons the answer to the first question is: Fundamental techniques are very important for our training. If for some reason we want to skip the basics and rush to more advanced kicks and strikes we have to keep in mind that it may do us more harm then good. It is a lot easier to progress to the next level knowing where you are coming from. If you don't take the time to learn how to keep your foot horizontal when performing turning kick, probably you won't pay attention also in the reverse turning kick. Errors in patterns, injuries in fight are often caused by skipping through fundamentals.
To avoid this, it's good to have a program that will cover all the basics techniques, theory and nomenclature.
We introduce to you Black Belt Basics:
After releasing all 24 patterns in the program Black Belt All In One (more information about it on http://www.tkd-blackbelt.com ), there came the time for the next production from Mr. Lukas Grygiel.
Author is proud to have in this production such celebrities as Master Jerzy Jedut VII Dan, well-known coach that teaches thousands of people around the world each year through his seminars, creator of the champions, vice president of technical issues in the Polish Taekwon-do Association.
Of course Mr. Jaroslaw Suska VI Dan, who doesn't need any special introduction continues cooperation with Black Belt Project. In this specific program he is presenting his famous leg techniques. Black Belt Project also supports young, yet experienced instructors.
In this program we can see Mr. Gabriel Bednarczyk IV Dan, who participated in many technical seminars conducted by the Masters: Kim Jong Su, Ri Myong Chol, Jerzy Jedut, Wilem Jacob Bos, Tran Trieu Quan, Hector Marano, Pablo Trajtenberg, Kim Ung Lan and General Choi Chong Hi and Ms. Kamila Szustak II Dan - multiple medalist of the European and World Championships and also World and European Cups. She has started practicing Taekwon-do when she was seven years old, now she owns Taekwon-do club fulfilling her greatest passion that is to pass the spirit of Taekwon-Do to the youngest.
All videos can be watched from the front and from the side, at normal or in the slow motion.
Program includes techniques for the color belts and 1st degree exams categorized according to their difficulty. Besides the single techniques Master Jedut presents also sequences from the patterns that shows different kinds of motion in patterns (continuous motion, fast motion, etc..)
In the Stances section are pictures, diagrams and descriptions of the most common stances used in the patterns.
The theory section is divided into categories:
ñ What is Taekwon-do
ñ History of Taekwon-do
ñ Spiritual culture
ñ Power theory
ñ Taekwon-do tenets
ñ The philosophy of Taekwon-do
ñ Origin of the patterns
ñ Why are there 24 patterns
ñ Meaning of the patterns
ñ Attacking and blocking surfaces of the hands
ñ Attacking and blocking surfaces of the legs
Next is the Dictionary section that translates Korean nomenclature to English. There are categories like:
This program is invaluable help to students and instructors. You can Pre-Order Black Belt Basics for lower price now at the http://www.tkd-blackbelt.com/index.php?page=dvdbasics
Promotion ends on 5th of July.
We recommend this program and fully support Black Belt Project.
Below are the few opinions of the beta-testers of our program:
"After extremely enjoying All in One with all the Taekwon-do patterns I was really curious about the new program. My students often asked me about the video material that would present fundamental techniques. Especially before the exams. In this program we will find both: videos, practice and theory – that is exactly what I and my students needed! When I had heard that price is about 25€ I had no doubt that my every student above 8th degree will order this software.
I fully recommend it to anyone who is serious about his career in Taekwon-do."
Mr. Artur Suchy Osuchowski IV DAN from Poland (coach and medal-winning contestant)
"Master Jerzy Jedut is a well-known coach. His experience in Taekwon-do is udeniable. To have him performing techniques and sequences from patterns is like having a seminar with one of the best instructors in the world. Watching Mr. Suska performing flying kicks is really inspiring and always gives me more energy and motivation for my daily training.
I also appreciate the part with the theory – finally I have everything in one place. This software will be helpful not only for the color belts; most of the presented techniques are used in the higher patterns as well. Without a doubt it's a must-have software for any Taekwon-do practitioner."
Mr. Kai Johnsrud II DAN from Norway (coach)

To supplement the growth in Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area networks (SANs), Dell employs an iSCSI-to-SAS bridge card for the TL-series tape libraries (Dell™ PowerVault TL2000 and TL4000). This solution enables users to add in a tape backup target into an iSCSI Ethernet SAN with a typical transfer rate of ~50MB/s in most cases.

While you are away, the tape library enables you to remotely administer all functions, including system status and logs, diagnostics and drive operations, as well as configuration and inventory management features.Tape Versatility
The comparative low cost for tape — combined with its long history of proven reliability — helps ensure its continued use for both backup and archiving. The portability of tape enables it to be taken off-site and stored in a vault. In addition, LTO-4, LTO-5 and LTO-6 tape technology supports write-once, read-many (WORM) capability, which enables permanent data storage that cannot be overwritten — a requirement of many compliance regulations.Learn More About LTO and Protecting Data Archives
Big Capacity, Small Space
With its compact form factor, the PowerVault TL4000 packs an impressive amount of information in a small amount of space. Occupying only four units (4U) of rack space, the library can hold up to 48 tapes providing up to 120TB (with Ultrium LTO-6 2.5TB* tapes) of native capacity — ideal for small office environments managing explosive data growth.Tape Automation Comparison Chart
Ultrium Linear Tape-Open Performance
The PowerVault TL4000 supports Linear Tape-Open Ultrium 6 (LTO-6) drives — a high-speed tape technology that can natively back up an impressive 576GB of data per hour. LTO technology is based on a tape industry standard that specifies backward read-and-write compatibility with LTO-6 and LTO-5 generation media (n,n-1) and read compatibility with LTO-4 (n-2) media.Be Green With Tape
When factoring in the features and benefits of tape storage — such as reliability, portability, encryption LTO-4, LTO-5 and LTO-6 and the shelf life (over 20 years) of tape cartridges — it is the perfect solution for your long-term or short-term backup or archiving needs. In addition, when tape media is stored, it does not require energy until it needs to be accessed. By using zero energy when stored, tape is "naturally" Green.Hardware Support Service Plans

It's not about the deals. I don't really think that Target has the best prices on most things. It's not about the quality. You can buy much nicer products than those that Target offers. It's not even about the convenience (ok, it kind of is). But it's also about image. Target's product lines are chic and contemporary. They just know how to market their stuff!
Anyway...I had a little free time today after I dropped the youngest at preschool and decided to run some errands. (I had a prescription I needed refilled and also needed to pick up some orange juice. Oh! And coffee, I needed a cup of coffee.) Where did I end up? Target, of course! (Have I mentioned how much I love Target? Ours has a Starbucks in the store!)
As I walk in the door, on my way to the pharmacy, I pass their "Super Deals" section. Now, I'm not a bargain shopper and I usually pass right by this section, shrugging it off as stuff I don't need, but today, glory of all glories, I looked at the display. What I saw evoked such strong feelings that my heart started to beat faster. My breath caught in my throat. And I froze. Kraft* Macaroni and Cheese (the 7.25 oz box, not the skimpy 5 oz box that costs the same but has less macaroni) was on sale for $.69 a box. That's $.30 less than what it typically costs! That's AMAZING!!! It was a Walmart moment - you know the, "That price is amazing!!! How do they do that?" kind of moment (without the feelings of guilt and sleaziness that I get when I shop at Walmart.)
It was a brand new display - not a single box was missing. I felt like I had just stumbled upon a gold mine. I looked furtively to the left, then to the right. No one else seemed to have seen it. I quickly go back to the front of the store and get, not a hand basket, but a shopping cart. I'm actually contemplating just sweeping the shelves with my arm like they do on those cheezy game shows. I discard this thought as irrational and rebalance my karma by telling another mother about my find. I start putting boxes in my cart and realize that I don't really know what the limit is. There's none posted, but how many can I buy without looking like I need psychiatric help? My kids could live on this stuff if I'd let them. We actually had to make a rule when my son was little that we would only make it once a day. I watch a woman next to me put 2 boxes in her cart. (I already have 8).
"This is an amazing price" I say to her casually.
"It really is," she replies. "It's too bad my pantry is full. I'd buy more."
This is just the kind of thing I wanted to hear to justify grabbing more boxes. "I know. I'm thinking about just storing it in my garage."
"That's true," she says, "I do have room in my basement..." She grabbed a couple more boxes. I did too. Now I had 14. I looked longingly back at the shelves, filled almost completely with the blue boxes. sigh. More than 14 is really too much. I push my cart onward towards the pharmacy. I'm never going to find a price like this on brand name macaroni and cheese ever again.

I'm remodeling our beach house in northern California as a permanent residence.
The western view is gorgeous but the glare is so bad I can't even stay in the living room from about 5:30-8:30 PM due to glare off the ocean, the sun itself. I've had guests have to wear sunglasses in our house. Contractor has me using Marvin 366 glass and the glass guy says it will work. I looked at the samples for days and it did not cut the glare I could see. There has to be better glare glass that this, does anybody know of a glass that could work? It seems ridiculous to me, as a photographer, that no glass is made like a neutral density filter...basically grey glass that cuts glare. Any info on shades that really work would be appreciated too. I currently have two layers, one of dark blue mylar, other is the mesh. They don't help the sun glare enough. I feel like I should be able to see the view at sunset, surely there is some glass or shade that will help with all the new tech advances. |

The Cardinal Low-e 366 glass package does cut down on the glare and will reduce the visible light through that opening. You can inquire about the availability of the Low-e with a grey tint as well. |
I saw the grey tint sample and the 271 (?) which is lighter. The Marvin rep didn't recommend the grey tint, I guess because it has no more anti-glare than the 366, just bluer. Are you a window rep Washington...is the grey tint more anti-glare? I guess if there is nothing better than 366 I'll have to go with it. Why do you call it Cardinal? Marvin in branded on the samples. I did hear about some Cardinal no glare glass, is it Cardinal glass on the Marvin 366 windows? Thanks |
- Posted by skydawggy (email@example.com) on Sat, Jul 16, 11 at 16:44
Marvin uses glass made by Cardinal Glass Company in their windows. I would suggest getting a sample before purchasing anything. |
I have had samples of 366, 272 and the darker grey tint here for weeks. As I said, by looking through these samples at the sun as it is setting, none of them cut that glare. The grey tint makes everything bluer...the sand, people, all colors are effected. I would go for it if it cut the sun glare but it doesn't. |
- Posted by skydawggy (email@example.com) on Sat, Jul 16, 11 at 20:57
I'd take a look at polarized window film. I don't know much about it but it's worth checking out. |
I have had some luck with a combination of solar gray or bronze over low e 272 but to get what you really want or need I would do my own research at sites such as http://www.cardinalcorp.com/products. My customers don't have your problem so I haven't spent a lot of time researching options. Remember that you are probably going to sacrifice the amount of VT or visible light that you are going to get to remove the glare. This will be most notable in the winter months in northern California. |
I've already checked with Cardinal to see if there is a better glass, they said not. If I put on any window film it voids the Marvin warranty. I guess I'd better look to shades in the house (outside is too windy). You are right that in winter there is no glare problem so with shades I could keep them up when I wanted. Solar shades anyone?

Did you ever stop and count the number of grooming and beauty products you use? In a typical morning I use: face wash hand wash bar soap shampoo conditioner hair serum hair mouse toothpaste floss mouthwash shaving gel deodorant body lotion foot powder/or lotion face cream foundation blush powder eyeshadow eyeliner mascara lipstick And that's the daily stuff, add to that the occasional: hair coloring I know there are many more, and of course I have multiples of most of those products. It is not surprising though. In fact I'm surprised I don't use more products after my last visit to Ulta to buy some face cream or moisturizer. How many products are out there, and how could I possibly know which one to buy? Even if you could narrow it down to your single favorite brand (and then how could you know it was your favorite if you haven't tried the others?) There are so many different lines within each brand. It made my head spin. And that was just in the lower cost aisle. Start talking high end, prestige products and you have a real dilemma. You don't want to make a mistake when you're spending upwards of $50.00 for a couple of ounces of face cream. |

You're a mom of triplets and you have time for a complicated beauty routine like that? Wow. Do you really need all of that? I mean - I use an electric razor for my legs, so I don't use shaving gel. I also don't shave my legs every day, which is a time saver. Some of the lotions - why not use *one* for several purposes? Why do you use bar soap - which tends to be kind of gloppy and messy anyway - *and* hand soap? If you brush your teeth well and don't have any issues that could cause bad breath, then why do you need mouthwash? If you thought about it, I bet you could easily eliminate a good portion of what you have listed; you'd save time in the morning, and you'd save a lot of space in your bathroom. No one would know or care, either. (I tend to be a minimalist, both with bathroom stuff and with other things! :-) ) |

Gladys, the triplets are 30 now, all grown up and on their own. But they did teach me to be very quick and efficient. I may use a lot of products but I do it in record time. To clarify about the various soaps: the hand wash is on the vanity. The bar soap is the Dove bar in the shower. DH uses it too. The face wash is Oil of Olay Age defying to keep me young. Mouth wash to prevent gum disease. Luann, I know there are makeup people and no-makeup people, I am just one of those people who will not leave the house without it. It's in my genes, my Mom is the same as well as my daughter. But I do admit to being kind of a sap for new beauty products. |

I simplify my life by not caring too much about which of these I use. re: shaving gel--try using a little bit of your conditioner. Condition your hair, and then rub your hands over your legs and shave while the conditioner is working. Here's my list, based on yours: face wash --YES bar soap --NO, I use a body wash, but it's the same line on the form shampoo --YES, but not every day anymore hair mouse --NO, I can just comb and go toothpaste --YES Your list isn't really all that horribly indulgent, actually. You left off hair color; I use an antichafing stuff if I wear a skirt, since I don't wear pantyhose. |

It is absolutely crazy the number of redundant products that I have!!! I have so many because I'm always looking for the magic bullet. Some time ago (I reported it here), I had a "consolidation" project. For example, I got a large pump bottle and emptied all my moisturizers in to it since not one seemed to be the magic bullet. Now my moisturizer has a large number of elements in it. Same thing with shampoos and conditioners. Of late, I have been using cheap olive oil as a conditioner; works as well as anything else and it's good for the scalp. Liquid foundation, foam foundation, mineral foundation, spray foundation...I've got them all--again in search of the magic one. My daughter went jogging in my neighborhood then took a shower at my house. She was aghast over the number of personal care products but no deodorant. I explained that the deodorant(s) were in my closet where I get dressed along with the spot treatment for when I undress and can handle the spot at that time rather than when I have a load for the washer. I want to put together a donation for the women's shelter. Knowing how overly regulated things are now a days, do you think they would take opened "small amount missing" products? |

"shaving gel" I've started using a razor that has little bars of soap already attached and I love it. I do that sort of thing in the shower anyway and these little razors are great, no lathering up necessary and the razor just glides across your skin. It's not disposable and has replaceable blade heads which take up very little room in the cupboard I also use my body wash as a face wash, but since I have sensitive skin I use a gentle soap free wash so it's not drying, and I don't use lotion because the wash doesn't dry out my skin so I just don't need it and my skin is super soft because I don't use harsh soaps or washes |

Cheap shampoo from the 99 cent/dollar store is fabulous! You can use it on face, hair, for shaving, laundry, just about anything except washing dishes. Think multi-tasking! I once put about ten of those shampoo samples you get at a motel in the washing machine for my clothes. It smelled devine! |

This is a fun post. I will say that in my busy working military life, I could get up, shower, shave underarms (daily), legs (3x weekly)makeup (eye shadow, mascara, foundation, powder, lipstick), hair (washed and blow dried, very short), dressed and out the door in 25 minutes. Now, years later, I use far less products and it seems to take far longer. When I was stationed in Spain I could get waxed, from top to toes, for about $7 so I never had to shave of pluck or anything. That made getting ready for work a real breeze. Now, in a typical morning I use: face wash - I use an Oil of Olay-type face cloth. And that's the daily stuff, add to that the occasional: hair coloring - I stopped coloring three months ago. I'm liking the "salt and pepper," heavy on the salt look! |

Recently, Aaron talked about how we keep a published branch. Lately, we have also been having to branch our code more frequently in order to work on big messy changes without disturbing ongoing development in the main trunk. Branching is a great tool to use in those situations, but many find themselves cursing the day they decided to branch when they run into a billion conflicts when trying to merge their changes back to the trunk. Well....it doesn't have to be like that! So to help out those who've had nightmarish merge experiences, or to ease the fears of those who have yet to delve into the mysterious world of subversion branches and merges, I have decided to share my thoughts on proper branching technique.
What is Branching?
Let's start with the basics. What is branching? Why would we need to ever do it? Well...everyone knows the golden rule of using version control systems is to "Check in often". Checking in often gives us more flexibility if we make a mistake and want to go back to a previous version, and it also helps minimize conflicts when several developers are working on the same piece of code. However, as good a practice as checking in often might be, sometimes it's just hard to do, especially if we need to make a big all-or-nothing type change that will take us an extended period of time. In the meantime we can not afford to check in our half-completed change, because it would break things and prevent or make it very difficult for other developers to keep on working on their own stuff. Luckily however, we can simply make a copy of the current trunk repository and then check in our changes to this copy. We can now check in as often as we'd like without disturbing anyone. When we are done with our big change, we can merge it all back at once and everyone is happy. We call this copy a "branch".
How do we Branch?
Branching is easy. Subversion does not really have a built-in concept of a "branch". A branch is simply a copy of the your projects directory in the subversion repository. Where you copy it to is entirely up to you, but a good convention is generally a directory structure like:
MyProject/ Trunk/ Branches/ BranchName/
The URL for your main repository would look something like:
while the URL for your branch would be:
To create the branch we would simply use the subversion cp command:
svn cp https://svn.server.com/svn/MyProject/Trunk https://svn.server.com/svn/MyProject/Branches/BranchName
now we could simply check out the new branch:
svn co https://svn.server.com/svn/MyProject/Branches/BranchName
and work on it to our heart's content Any changes we committed would go to the branch and not disturb our main trunk code.
Keeping the Branch Up to Date and Merging
Now, here is the tricky part that many people screw up. While the whole point of the branch is to keep changes we make on the branch isolated from trunk, we DO NOT want to keep changes that are going on in trunk isolated from the branch. This is a recipe for disaster...or rather... a very painful merge. You see, the longer we keep the branch completely isolated from trunk, the greater the likelihood that nasty conflicts will happen.
The idea then is to take the changes that are going on in our project's trunk and apply them to our branch. Sure, this won't guarantee that you won't see any conflicts, but it is exponentially easier to resolve conflicts incrementally as you go along than to let them pile up until the end when you've already forgotten what the heck you were actually doing in the code that is now conflicting.
Enter the "merge" command. I think a lot of people misunderstand what this command does because it's name is misleading and makes it seem more mysterious than it actually is. I personally think this command should be renamed "diff and patch", because that is exactly what it does.
So how do we we use the merge command in order to keep the branch synchronized? Well, first of all let's talk about what we are trying to do. Say we were at revision 100 when we did the "svn cp" command that created our branch. Then we worked on our branch a few hours, did several commits to it. Meanwhile, other developers have continued working on trunk and also made several commits. At the end of the day we want to incorporate all changes that have been made to the trunk since we branched. This is easy! We go into the root of our branch directory and execute:
svn merge https://svn.server.com/svn/MyProject/Trunk@100 https://svn.server.com/svn/MyProject/Trunk@HEAD
Actually, there are shorter ways to write this, but lets stick to the long way for the time being and explain what the command actually does. The svn merge command needs only two parameters to indicate what changes we want. In this case we are asking svn to get all the changes that happened in trunk from revision 100 to the HEAD revision and then apply them to our current working copy.
It is important to understand that merge does not actually modify the repository at all, it simply patches our working copy with the result of diffing /Trunk@Head and /Trunk@100. Now you can take a look at the results, resolve any conflicts, make sure everything compiles fine and then commit all changes to the branch. You will probably want to add a commit message such as "merged in changes up to Trunk@####", where #### would be whatever version number your Trunk was at when you ran the merge command. Why do this? Well the next time you merge you'll only want to incorporate changes that happened to trunk since your last merge, so it's a good idea to keep track of what changes you have already merged so you don't try to merge them again.
It's a good idea to keep merging changes from trunk into your branch as often as possible, although probably not as often as you'd run an svn update under normal circumstances. Once a day should be good enough for most people, but if you start to see lots of conflicts you might want to do it more often.
Merging it all back to Trunk
So you finished your big change, everything works, and it's time to merge all your changes back to the trunk so that all your fellow developers can be amazed by how great a job you have done. Well, if you followed my advice and regularly merged changes from trunk into your branch, then this is actually a very painless task. When you think about it, you've already incorporated all the changes the other developers made in trunk into your branch, so your branch already looks like what you want the final result to be. All we have to do now is make our trunk look exactly like our branch and we are done. To do this, we should go into the directory in which we have our trunk checked out and run the following command:
svn merge https://svn.server.com/svn/MyProject/Trunk@HEAD https://svn.server.com/svn/MyProject/Branches/MyBranch@HEAD
WHAT?? I think this command needs a little explanation, but it's not hard if we understand the diff+patch concept. Basically we are asking subversion to diff our branch and the trunk and then patch these changes into Trunk (you did remember to cd to trunk's working dir right?). In other words, we are telling subversion to give us all the changes needed to get us from Trunk@HEAD to MyBranch@HEAD and then apply those changes to Trunk's working dir. If we patch Trunk with the changes necessary to go from Trunk -> MyBranch then what does Trunk end up looking like? That's right..... it should end up being exactly like MyBranch. Now all that is left to do is commit the changes and we should have successfully accomplished a branch/merge.
Other fun uses of Merge
Once you understand that merge is simply diff+patch, you can find other creative uses. How many times have you committed something and then realized you screwed up and wished you could undo that commit? Well merge can be used to quickly undo your commit:
svn merge @HEAD @PREV svn commit -m "Undoing my last commit"
or you might just undo one file
svn merge MyBadMistake.cs@HEAD MyBadMistake@PREV
The possibilities are endless!
I hope I've managed to demystify the svn merge command somewhat. If you already knew all this... well.. sorry to bore you. But if I saved at least one poor soul out there from the headaches of branching/merging the hard way, then I have accomplished what I set out to do.

Today, Glamour blogger Shallon Lester brings to our attention a widespread problem plaguing our menfolk: guys seem to really dig crazy chicks. Yes Shallon, I have noticed this, too. But in the post, she gives only a few half-hearted explanations: "Personally, I think guys secretly like the drama. Maybe it makes them feel alive or brings some action to their otherwise dull lives. Or, perhaps it reminds them of the chaos of their own family life as a child (wow, how Dr. Phil am I today?) Or, they could just be weak guys who like being dominated and repressed." [Glamour]

Stay at home vs. working moms: it's a debate that may well have sparked the heated flames of the "mommy wars." There haven't been a shortage of opinions on this topic, and despite being rehashed to death, more keep coming. The latest voice to enter into the fray is Allison Klein, a former reporter turned stay-at-home mom who recently offered up an op-ed for The Washington Post. Klein writes:
"You see, I love being home with my girls, now 4 and 5. I'm just not such a fan of telling people that's what I do. This is new for me. [...] This is D.C., where nothing about you is more important than your job, or at least that's what people always say. And being a full-time mom doesn't exactly up my Q score. These conversations are fraught because I want people to know I'm not giving up my identity as a strong, smart woman. Cue the eye roll."
Mother judgment — it's there regardless of what you choose. And, when we fight each other, nobody wins, because infighting only clouds the more important issue: the narrow way we frame this stay-at-home vs. working mother discussion. I wish there could be a huge disclaimer on these types of articles reminding readers that not every mother is in a position to actually make this choice. There are families that need two working parents in order to ensure that housing and food costs are met. There needs to be a greater understanding of the inherent privilege involved in even having this "debate" in the first place. Keep reading »

But my sister is used to being indulgent to animals. Her cats are in and out all day long, and shes the unpaid doorman. She remarked that when winter comes and the first snow falls, the cats are always very peeved when she opens the door onto a White Christmas poster. She says they whine and say, We want the summer door!
So for three weeks, our dog has been playing fetch for about fifteen hours a day. If my sister and I didnt throw like girls, the dog would be a master by now, and John would want to take him hunting. Only thing is he refuses to get wet, so maybe not duck hunting. But if theres ever a need for a dog to retrieve balls, hes your man.
Weve had a great time. She got to see the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, the Winona County History Center, the three Great River Shakespeare Festival productions A Midsummer Nights Dream, Henry IV, part 1, and The Fantasticks. Shes not much of a shopper, but we did look around for a gift for our other sister in the downtown shops. We went to Alma. We went out on the river. But if anyone in Massachusetts asks what she did on her vacation, shell have to say she worked with dogs.
She and I have a long history. I am oldest, and she is third, of six kids. She and I shared a room as kids. I had the top bunk, she had the lower bunk. I was not the kindest of big sisters. She was a neatnik and I left my clothes everywhere, especially draped over the desk chair, where she would have like to sit to do her homework. She was a diligent student, and smart to boot, whereas I was a last-minute seat-of-my-pants kind of student.
We both went to St. Stephens school, where we wore uniforms navy blue jumpers over blue blouses with either a navy or plaid tie (depending on how adventurous you were feeling on a particular day). One night, I was out babysitting, and came home, still dressed in my uniform, waking her up as I came into the room. What are you doing? she asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Im getting ready for school, I said. Youd better hurry.
She jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, came back to the bedroom and quickly dressed in her uniform and ran downstairs. I, of course, undressed and got into bed. It was great fun while it lasted. I hadnt factored in that my parents were still up, reading in the living room, and had to tell her to go back to bed. I was in a little bit of trouble over that one for quite a while.
I got married the year that my sister graduated from high school, and she was my maid of honor. My younger sisters and Johns sister were also in the wedding party, wearing yellow jumpers with yellow polka-dot blouses, white picture hats and carrying flowers in baskets. My children were horrified when they saw pictures of the wedding. But my bridesmaids were still in their teens, two not even that. Their mothers wouldnt allow them to wear black strapless dresses with slits up the thigh, which is the sort of dress my girls must think bridesmaids should wear.
My sister moved to St. Paul after college, and we saw a lot of her. She bought her first car from Nystrom Motors and we had to teach her how to drive a stick shift out in a parking lot at Prairie Island. After a few years, she moved back to Massachusetts. But she has been a big part of my kids lives over the years, being around for the big moments. She also has been my nurse through two at least sieges with health problems, staying several months each time.
We all wish she lived closer. My granddaughter, Peyton, said she would miss Susan. I told her I would miss her, too, since she is my little sister. Ooh, said Peyton, then youll really miss her! I asked if when Peyton and Andie, her little sister are grown up and moved away from each other, would she miss Andie. Oh, yes, she said, but I will call her every day and well have sleepovers!
Just like my sister and me!

I spend an average of 15-20 hours a week reading scientific literature. Most of this is extremely specialized stuff, pertaining either to my specific area of research or to some detailed experimental method I want to learn more about. However, I'm always on alert for a science story that will have broader appeal to our Usher Blog audience, and maybe implications for the future of therapeutic Usher research.
One such story was published in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, a few weeks back. It's a very nice—albeit preliminary—finding that is unambiguously deserving of attention and admiration. But what's actually in the paper is only part of the story. The other part is my ongoing lament about how badly the media can botch science reporting. I've grumped about this before, and this is yet another example of this unfortunate phenomenon.
The paper, entitled ""Embryonic stem cell trials for macular degeneration: a preliminary report" has made quite a splash in the international news. For the first time, a retinal cell type derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) was used in Phase I Clinical Trials as a potential treatment for two types of Retinal Degeneration. This is noteworthy in and of itself, given that using hESC-derived cells for any therapies is a nascent field. I've written previously about risks, benefits, and open questions in this field, and studies such as this add volumes to our body of knowledge about stem cell biology. Being able to harness the potential of pluripotent cells which can:
A) differentiate into a functional, specialized cell type
B) integrate into a human organ/tissue without being rejected by the immune system
C) not form tumors and
D) beneficially impact the progression of a degenerative (or, really, any) disease
is a really, really big deal.
Achieving item A above, along would with adequate and successful safety testing in animal models, would be a prerequisite to any clinical trial. Recall that in a Phase I trial, safety and tolerance for various doses are the primary objectives. In a Phase I trial involving Stem Cells, therefore, you'd want to focus mainly on items B and C above. But, as we've seen before with Phase I trials, if something really remarkable approaching the realm of 'D' happens during the Phase I study, the researchers might be inclined to publish a preliminary report and share the news. The LCA gene replacement study published in 2009 is one such example. So is that also the case with this new Lancet paper? Let's dive in and see.
Recall, if you will, the title of the article: "Embryonic stem cell trials for macular degeneration: a preliminary report". Fairly understated, wouldn't you say? Well, this is a stodgy medical journal, after all. So you can hardly blame the media for gussying up the story just a bit with headlines such as "Giving sight to macular degeneration patients , or "Once they were blind, now they see. Patients treated with cells from human embryo: Controversial medical breakthrough restores vision – now doctors hope to repeat the success"
This would obviously be fantastic news if it were true, but let's tune out the sensational journalism for a moment and establish what the Lancet article actually reports.
The Study Design
The paper in question is actually reporting preliminary results from two simultaneously conducted Phase I trials. Both trials are using Retinal Pigmented Epithelial (RPE) cells derived from hESC lines as a potential treatment for two different types of retinal degeneration: Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) and Stargardt's Macular Dystrophy. Blindness in both of these conditions results from defects in the RPE, which causes the photoreceptors to degenerate, thus it makes good sense to attempt to replace the defective cell type in an attempt to ultimately rescue the photoreceptor loss.
Differentiated RFE cells in culture. From Schwartz et al., 2012 |
The Results
The Lancet paper reports results from two patients—one from each of these Phase I trials—who were followed for four months after their procedures. The first half of the paper's results describes the preparation of the RPE cells and safety testing conducted in mice. The patient data dealt principally with the fact that neither of these subjects, both females with significant loss of central vision typical of end-stage macular degeneration, experienced any adverse reactions to the treatment. No swelling, no pain, no abnormal cell growth, no immune response to the implanted cells. All good news.
The authors then go on to report the findings that got the International News all churned up. Both of these patients—again, each with a different type of severe macular degeneration—reported improvement in their vision after the procedure. What kind of improvement, exactly?
The ARMD patient was able to read more letters on the chart in the weeks following her treatment, which must have been tremendously exciting for her. These results must be interpreted with some caution, however, because this is a pretty subjective test, for one, and there were no other clinical findings to support the improvement—no changes were detected in her retina when compared to her preoperative condition. Further confounding these results was the fact that this patient experienced an improvement in her 'control' eye as well—the one which received no treatment at all. Thus, it is a possibility that at least some of her perceived improvement was derived from the placebo effect of having had surgery and postoperative care.
Reported improvement in the Stargardt's subject were less ambiguous, and could be verified by clinical examination in addition to the subjective visual perceptions of the patient. Prior to the procedure, this woman's vision was so diminished that she could perceive a hand being waved in front of her, but could not make out details like individual fingers or letters on an eye chart. Several weeks after the procedure she began to be increasingly able to count individual fingers. She also reported an improved color perception after the transplant. Encouragingly, tests on her retina revealed that the implanted RPE cells had integrated into her retina, 'filling in' a portion of that cell layer which had previously been destroyed by the disease. The Stargardt patient's improvements were limited to her operated eye.
The Bottom Line
It's really cool stuff, on several levels. This is the first time that a cell population derived from hESCs has been successfully used in a clinical trial. This is also the first time that RPE cells have been successfully introduced into a diseased human eye. Previous attempts at RPE replacements, using mature adult or fetal RPE cells, have been made in ARMD patients but have been unsuccessful, so it's very exciting preliminary data on that front. And of course the fact that visual function improvements seem to be occurring in these subjects is more important still, particularly considering the advanced stages of their respected diseases. Indeed, once the procedure is optimized through these trials, the treatment is actually intended for patients with less advanced MD, in order to prevent vision loss, rather than aiming to restore it. End-stage patients were chosen for these Phase I trials precisely because their vision is already so bad it's unlikely that it could be further compromised if something were to go wrong with the procedure. Preliminary though these results may be, it would be wonderful if the recipient pool of the developed treatment could be expanded to include patients with more severe manifestations of these types of diseases.
It's really preliminary. This is two patients we're talking about, and while we can celebrate the fact that they came through the procedure without any adverse side effects (so far) AND some apparent improvements in their vision, it is too soon to apply these results to a larger population. This preliminary report allows us to be cautiously optimistic that the additional results forthcoming from these studies will be consistent with the promising findings from these two test cases. It does NOT allow us to declare that ARMD and/or Stargardt's has been "cured" by stem cells, or even that sight/vision has been "restored", as the headlines declare.
What this means for Usher patients
Directly and immediately, nothing. Usher syndrome is not a disease of the RPE, so this particular cell line would not likely be effective in forestalling photoreceptor degeneration in USH patients. In the longer term, though, I think we can be encouraged by the fact that the generation of these cells from hESCs has been far more successful than any other cell-based treatment to date. In time, other cell types could be procured in a similar manner and, potentially, treatments that could benefit Usher patients could be developed.
What it also means is a modicum of caution. Given the buzz that this story has created, it would not be surprising if some charlatans around the world used the early success of this trial to sell 'stem cell' treatments for all sorts of degenerative conditions for which there currently are no cures. Don't believe it. We're not there yet. But we're working on it. Be encouraged.
2/27/12 - After this article was posted, a reader sent this link in the blog comments. It's such a great talk we wanted to give it more visibility. It's a talk from a recent stem cell research conference, given by the lead investigator on the stem cell therapy referenced in this post.
The presentation is geared to a professional audience, so it might be a bit dense with jargon in parts, but well worth the 20 minutes. Enjoy! - Jennifer

Melanoma Education Protects Patients' Siblings
Posted: July 12, 2006
page 4 of 6
However, the education effort did not impact on either the routine use of sunscreens or wearing sun-protective clothing.As well, no difference between the groups was found for seeking a dermatologist-conducted screening, although the frequency of such screenings doubled among all the siblings by 12 months.
The news is still good, however, because self-exams are the most basic form of spotting melanoma.
"I'm pleased with the results," said Geller, "because I think skin self-examination is a really important technique that should be learnt. And the beauty of this whole thing is that melanoma is the only visible tumor. So every family member can play really strong role in this -- helping if the subject can't look at his or her back. So this is basically a family education program."
Marianne Berwick, head of the Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention Program at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, Albuquerque, said the study has the potential to help health professionals promote early detection and lower the melanoma death rate.

We noticed playing our recent games it appears possible that certain AI cards depending on the situation will result in NO AI activation.
Card 11/35 Wretches -
First Condition - Each wretch moves 2 areas toward nearest COG fig. Each wretch then attacks the most wounded COG figure in its area.
Otherwise - Spawn 2 wretches at emergence hole within 4 movement of you.
so if no wretches in play and no COG within 4 movment of nearest emergence hole you just discard the card and move on to the next COG move -
Just checking we played this correct - could not see anything in rules to suggest otherwise.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department says a routine bridge inspection will mean that a lane of Highway 67 at Donaldson will be closed this week. The department says crews will inspect the Union Pacific Railroad overpass on Highway 67 on Wednesday — weather permitting. The work will mean the closing of the northbound lane of the highway in Hot Spring County from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
CADDO VALLEY, Ark. (AP) — Authorities in Hot Spring and Clark counties are searching for a 58-year-old woman who disappeared near DeGray Lake. Deborah Cronn was last seen on Arkansas Highway 7 in Caddo Valley about 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The area is on the southern end of the lake near the Hot Spring and Clark county lines. Hot Spring County authorities say the search was turned over to Clark County.
TEXARKANA, Texas (AP) — A service will be held Wednesday for a Texas police officer who died after being hit by a truck during a disturbance at a park.
Texarkana police say a suspect was being held Sunday over the death of Officer William Sprague.
Sprague was hurt early Friday responding to a call about fights that broke out as about 100 people were at Grady T. Wallace Park. Police later arrested a man on a charge of aggravated assault of a public servant. The charge could be upgraded due to Saturday's death of Sprague.
There will still be music, food and entertainment, but due to high waters the Remmel to Rockport Regatta float downstream has been called off. The event is a fundraiser presented by Sykes to benefit the First Step Foundation. The event will still begin Saturday, June 15, but instead of noon, it will start at 4 p.m. in Rockport where Smokin' in Style will serve BBQ at the Whitewater Park along the banks of the Ouachita River and then Tragikly White takes the stage.
On June 9, 2013 at approximately 1:15 a.m., the Hot Spring County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to the Lono "Country Corner" store in response to a 911 call wherein an individual was threatening to shoot deputies, himself and others.
Deputies arrived on scene at approximately 1:30 a.m. and confronted the subject, identified as David Alexander.
Since working at the Malvern Daily Record I have been involved with a few tabs, which is short for tabloids. They are the sectional inserts dedicated to certain topics like softball, graduation, volunteers or health. My favorite tab, that I became involved with, was "Armed Forces Day." Go figure. I have just heard about a new tab of ours called "A Day in the Life," that is coming out in July. This is going to be cuter than kittens. Thursday, June 27 has been chosen as "The Day," that will focus on all of our lives here in Hot Spring County.
Both Malvern Mayor Steve Northcutt and Malvern Street Department Supervisor Glenn McCloud said the stage being constructed in Malvern City Park is a huge bonus for the park, the citizens of Hot Spring County and tourism, which translates to commerce. In last week's Malvern City County meeting it was discussed that the original cost of the stage at the City Park would be $40,000, not the $20,000 that had been earlier figured. A mistake in bookkeeping by one the contractors revealed Malvern would need to come up with a extra $20,000 for their part of the stage.
Bob Smith taught accounting and math at Ouachita Technical College (now College Of The Ouachitas) from 1988 until 2000. Don't worry about Smith staying busy in retirement. He has already published one book and has another ready for the press.
Smith, now living in Hot Springs Village, has written a book that he says is a "mystery, science fiction novel."
