This was me, eight years ago on the morning of April 6th. I was NOT having a great morning, seeing as I had been up all night with labor pains. I've got the gory details on another blog post, so to cut a long story short, around 8AM, my contractions had slowed down; they were about to send me home again but after all the agony I had been through, I said NO F-ING WAY.... Break that bag of waters!
Fortunately, just before 9PM, I met The Pea for the very first time, and all the pain became worth it. Thus a crappy morning became a happy day, which is pretty much a good way to summarize these past 8 years with the Pea: sometimes crappy, but on the whole, very, very happy. Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea!!!

Sample Report
"A serene composition that weaves art, architecture and the city into a transcendent esthetic experience," wrote new New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff. "The art worlds new corporate headquarters," proclaimed Bloomberg News art critic Tyler Green. "Yes, its worth $20!" bannered the notoriously anti-cultural New York Post, in reference to the museums controversial $20 admission price. And Celia McGee of the New York Daily News listed "20 fabulous reasons" to visit the new MoMA, beginning with Vincent van Goghs The Starry Night (1889) and also noting the naming of one contemporary gallery in honor of MoMA 20th-century curator Kirk Varnedoe, who died of cancer last year.
Among the early naysayers was Alexandra Peers of the Wall Street Journal, who focused on the absence of hot art-market properties in MoMAs premiere installation (tagged as "out" in a handy but dubious chart are Maurizio Cattelan, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Julian Schnabel and Takashi Murakami). And Artnet Magazines own Charlie Finch was less than happy with the new building, which he finds sterile and materialistic.
Indeed, the museum assembled an impressive lineup of corporate and individual angels to pay for the thing -- something that every U.S. museum needs. MoMA came up with an astonishing total of $858 million for the overall project, a sum that includes -- according to a story in the New York Times -- the cost of MoMA QNS, close to $100 million on real estate purchases, $70 million for the endowment and more than $100 million for fundraising itself. MoMA director Glenn Lowry says that $725 million is in hand so far, and that the overall capital campaign is a year ahead of schedule. The project was originally budgeted at less than $400 million. "Every time I missed a fundraising meeting," joked MoMA board chairman Ronald S. Lauder, "they raised the amount by $100 million."
Unlike the proposed West Side stadium for the New York Jets, which requires close to $1 billion from the taxpayers, the new MoMA got by with a "mere" $65 million from the city and $10 million from the state. The rest of the funds came largely from the museums trustees -- more than $500 million in all -- and as a result, many of the new museum galleries bear their names. The museum has 42 trustees, 15 life trustees and 14 "honorary" trustees, according to the Times. One of the lesser museum spaces, the museums sixth floor trustee lounge, notably, is named for disgraced Global Crossing chairman Gary Winnick, who remains a MoMA trustee (though Global Crossing is bankrupt, Winnick escaped with his fortune intact, in what Fortune magazine characterized as possibly "the biggest executive rip-off of all time").
MoMA also has an imaginative lineup of corporate art sponsors, including J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., successor firm of MoMA superpatron David Rockefellers Chase Manhattan, which is sponsoring the "reinstallation of the collection," free admission on Nov. 20 and a whole new education program that launches in 2005. Ford Motor Company is also underwriting a range of educational programs. The design-friendly Target Stores is sponsoring free admission at the museum every Friday from 4 to 8 pm for the next four years (dubbed "Target Free Friday Nights"). Banana Republic also sponsored the reinstallation of the collection.
A group of 24 Danish design companies, dubbed the Danish Design Project, are sponsoring the furniture and accessories in the public spaces, and USM Modular Furniture is helping out with the museums office furnishings. Sony is sponsoring the museums first gallery dedicated to media art, and IBM is "partnering" with the museum for its kiosks, digital tour guides and other high-tech needs. "The new MoMA is a wireless building," Lowry noted.
Among the new acquisitions on view in the galleries are paintings and sculpture by Peter Doig, Richard Diebenkorn, Donald Judd, Jasper Johns, Alex Katz, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Julie Mehretu, Elizabeth Peyton and Andy Warhol. New photo acquisitions include works by Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Robert Frank, Andreas Gursky, Boris Mikhailov, Jeff Wall and Gillian Wearing. Print department acquisitions include works by Damien Hirst, Lucian Freud, Henri Matisse and Edward Ruscha; the media gallery is screening new works by Eve Sussman and Li Yongbin; the drawings galleries have added works by Odilion Redon, Philip Guston and Willem de Kooning; and the design gallerys new acquisitions include a 1955 Vespa and an 1821 set of travel cutlery, now the oldest item on view in the museum.
When it comes to publishing, MoMA is also hitting the ground running, with a total of 13 new books to coincide with the museums reopening (and MoMAs recent 75th anniversary). This astonishing list begins with a 56-page paperback by Glenn Lowry titled The New Museum of Modern Art ($9.95) and includes Art in Our Time: A Chronicle of the Museum of Modern Art ($50), a 256-page compendium of historical photos and archival documents edited by Harriet Schoenholz Bee and Michelle Elligott. In between are sizeable new reference tomes from each of the museums departments, penned by their directors or associate curators -- painting and sculpture by John Elderfield, contemporary art by the late Kirk Varnedoe, prints by Deborah Wye, drawing by Jodi Hauptman, architecture by Matilda McQuaid and design by Paola Antonelli.
Last but not least, visitors to the new museum should be sure to hunt up the two special artists projects associated with the construction of the new museum. Mark Dions Rescue Archeology, installed in the museum basement, is a fascinating and wide-ranging museological display of artifacts uncovered during the excavation of the museum. And displayed on the sixth floor are Michael Weselys "Open Shutter" photographs, a set of four photos of the construction of the new museum made with extremely long exposure times.

From the podium
Her Excellency Lena Hjelm-Wallén (Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden)
It is indeed a challenge in the deepest sense of the word that 18 000 children die each day for lack of food, that HIV/AIDS kills farmers, teachers, mothers and fathers and with them their skills and knowledge. That we see food emergency of immense magnitude approaching in southern Africa while the Democratic People's Republic of Korea continues to face a food deficit and poverty. And that the people of Afghanistan struggle to build a new society and agricultural possibilities after decades of warfare. Despite these facts, Governments all over the world pursue policies which do not alleviate the life and livelihoods of those who depend on what the soil and water will generate. On the contrary, many Government policies are counterproductive and constrain the opportunities of poor people to escape famine and undernourishment. Madam Chairperson, this must be changed. This is why we have gathered here today, to mobilize political will and resources, to accelerate the fight against poverty and hunger. With political will, we can change things. In my view, the strongest political will translates itself into good governance exercised by all levels of authority and with the full participation of people. National, as well as local, Governments must place themselves at the service of democracy, transparency and predictability. Good governance means respect for people, their participation in decision-making and the accountability of those in power. The majority of food producers in the developing countries are women, but women are almost excluded from decision-making and also from to access to resources, and they are not allowed to reap the benefits of their own production. In a way, the delegations and the speakers of this Summit give us the same impression that is the reality for the poor women in many developing countries. So it is pivotal that this Summit send a clear and strong message to the international community that gender equality is a prerequisite for the eradication of poverty and hunger, and for promoting growth and sustainable development for all. Hunger, like poverty, must be addressed from many angles. Policies regarding agriculture, environment, trade development and security must be mutually reinforced. Equally important is coherence between different levels and actors within and among policy areas. Food security is primarily a national responsibility. It requires action in many different domestic policy areas. Besides that, international trade can play an important role in the promotion of economic growth, the alleviation of poverty and food security in developing countries. For many countries, agricultural trade is of particular importance. This is why the liberalization of agricultural trade is highlighted in the FAO Plan of Action adopted in 1996. The ongoing WTO Negotiations on agriculture should, therefore, create international rules and commitments for the agricultural sector that are conducive to achieving development of primary agricultural production, food industry and food security. In these Negotiations, we must acknowledge the need of special and differentiated treatment for developing countries. The other main theme of our meeting, to mobilize resources, is one of many necessary means to achieve food security. The National Governments in developing countries have to review the allocation of resources for the development of rural areas, where the majority of the poor and those suffering from food insecurity live. In Monterrey, earlier this year, the international society decided to turn the negative trend of declining ODA. It was an important step forward as many donors, including the EU and the USA, announced concrete steps to increase ODA, Sweden already belongs to the far too exclusive "Group of Zero-point-Seven" with only four other members. The Swedish Government is striving for an increase in the ODA and we have a time-schedule for reaching a full one per cent within the next few years. But let me underline, we do not want to be alone, or to be members of a very exclusive group, in these endeavours. This year, the Monterrey Conference, the General Assembly Special Session on Children, the World Food Summit: five years later and the World Summit on Sustainable Development to be held in Johannesburg, form a chain of strong links and interdependence. More than words must come out of these meetings. The political will to do more and to do the right things must be proven. We must, together, make the necessary changes, nationally and internationally, for global food security with a first step to halve hunger by the year 2015.

The rug arrived and I was not able to roll it out for a few weeks due to our finishing a new home. I purchased the rug to use in the sun room, but it didn't get there. I placed it in the breakfast room and it looked great! Later, we moved it to a pearly white bedroom where it will stay. It added the finishing touch to the bedroom. I wanted to order another one for the sunroom but it was out of stock. So, I've just ordered another rug to use there. The rug is very appealing, restful and can be used with so many different color schemes. It isn't really the most beautiful rug I've seen, but it offers such a neat look wherever it goes. Makes the room pop! Thanks O!
I've got animals and lots of sloppy people here. This is the perfect area rug in the spare bath.
I needed a kitchen rug that could stand up to heavy traffic, not show dirt, that the dogs wouldn't think was theirs to lay on, and can handle wet feet from the pool, perfect rug for our house..
Cannot say anything bad. It's great! no flaws that I could see. nice oversized pattern so it's a tad more modern than some. true black.
It is truly indoor/outdoor. Not warm and fuzzy. I wanted it under my dining room table and it works great. Nice style for a little price! After a few days, it was laying flat after being rolled up.
Returned not up to par with overstocks items.
Its indoor outdoor so it is thin but lays flat =) took a week for some minor rumples to lay flat .. but i didnt do anything special.. perfect fit for me!
When purchasing this rug remember when it says it's indoor/outdoor, they mean it. I am ok with that and it's exactly what I wanted for my living room but it has no plushness to it whatsoever. I feel like its more of an outdoor rug because of that; however, I am getting a padded non-slip matting for underneath to give it a little more cushion, which I am also okay with. It's beautiful and very nice quality!!! Looks great in my living room. the lighter color is a little more beige that I was expecting but I am also very okay with it as it matches my couch perfectly! Very excited about this purchase.
I wanted a pretty, yet functional rug for my dining room. This rug was perfect. It isn't fluffy or fussy-which means it'll be easy to clean in an area where food could be spilled-but the design still gives it an elegant look.
The black carpet shows everything. You can't walk across it once without leaving a trail behind. Great pattern and quality, go for a different color.

This is incredible! I love AppleDash and I think they had the best Gala dresses. I love the way Dash's hair is tied too. This is so cute and funny! I think it came out this way because in a dance both of these headstrong ladies would take the lead and Dash is mad because Applejack took the initiative. XD
Super job on this!

In what started as a single Facebook post by Kristen Christian, a 29 year old art gallery manager from California, the bank transfer movement gained momentum fast, with hundreds of thousands of American consumers moving their money away from big banks and into smaller credit unions and community banks in the last couple of months.
Consumers had reason to take action. A number of big banks in the US, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, sought to introduce a $3-5 monthly fee for debit card holders this year in response to the Federal Reserve capping the charge for a debit card transaction at 24 cents, despite this figure being up to three times more than it costs the bank to process the transaction.
Fed up with the corporate banking sector and increased fees (which have now been abandoned by both banks due to public pressure), Christian mobilised consumers using Facebook. To date, just shy of 60,000 people support the cause and 85,000 agreed to attend the event on November 5.
A survey by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) in the US reported that 650,000 consumers joined credit unions in the four weeks to November 5th. CUNA estimates credit unions have added $4.5 billion in new savings accounts in this time. (Read CUNA's media release of 8 November 2011)
This boost in credit union popularity comes as a welcome movement within the financial sector in the US, whose five biggest banks currently control 40% of deposits and where the top six banks hold $9.5 trillion in assets, equal to 63% of the United States GDP.
CUNA President and CEO, Bill Cheney, said many credit unions made concerted efforts in the last month to highlight their accountability to new and existing members, including providing additional information about the structure of credit unions being member-run institutions. This reflects Christian's push for consumers to be more aware about how the big banks earn their money and armed with enough information to make an informed switch.
CHOICE backs the move of our US sister organisation, Consumers Union, to defend the dollars of US citizens and support Christian's cause. The Consumers Union provided practical financial advice over the weekend to consumers who were interested in making the switch.
The growing distaste among consumers in the US against unfair banking practices is in line with the CHOICE Ditch and Switch campaign, launched in December last year, which urged Australian consumers to move their money to banks that offered accounts with little or no fees, whether credits unions or other institutions.
Our investigation into the banking sector found banks made at least $7.3 billion over a 12-month period off the $153 billion consumers keep in low- or no-interest transaction accounts, not including the fees banks charge consumers for access to these funds.
1 Sep 2010 | If you're not getting an interest rate saving of at least 0.7% then you're probably paying too much.
2 Mar 2011 | The report marks a major milestone in our campaign for fairer banking.
23 Sep 2014 | Save on fees by choosing an account with no monthly fee and no fees for many 'everyday' transactions.
29 Sep 2014 | Don't leave your hard-earned money in zero interest paying transaction accounts, use a high interest account instead.

Ranking Favre, NFC East running backs and more
September, 16, 2009
Eric Karabell | ESPN Insider
Don't start Mark Sanchez over Matt Schaub this week, don't think about trading Steven Jackson for Julius Jones, and most of all, don't panic. I know that's not the advice that many of you want to hear, but that's really the tone of this week, as so many people who lost in Week 1 have designs on turning their roster over. Sure, some of you got walloped in Week 1. One of my teams, a decent one at that, had its score nearly tripled. Now I'm the laughingstock of the league. Of course, some of those same players who laid a collective egg will be just fine in Week 2 and beyond. The point is, when it comes my decision-making at this point for roster moves and the weekly rankings, I can tell you I remain conservative. I'm going to give Matt Forte a few more chances, trust me.
The much-awaited ESPN Fantasy weekly rankings are up for Week 2 and as always I have some thoughts on the trends I saw and took part in.

Cynnie can take care of herself—and more importantly, she can take care of her little brother, Bill. So it doesn't matter that her mom is drunk all the time. Cynnie's got her own life. Cynnie's the one Bill loves more than anyone. Cynnie's the real mother in the house. And if there's one thing she knows for sure, it's that she'll never, ever sink as low as her mother. But when things start to fall apart, Cynnie needs a way to dull the pain. Never say never.
This unflinching look at the power of addiction is the story of one girl's fall into darkness—and the strength, trust, and forgiveness it takes to climb back out again.

Today, we are thrilled to announce our work with Coca-Cola as part of their 100th anniversary celebration of the iconic Coca-Cola bottle. On February 28th, a new exhibit will open to the public at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta featuring more than 500 3D printed bottles suspended from the ceiling, all 3D by Shapeways.
The iconic Coca-Cola bottle was originally designed by the Root Glass Company in 1915 as a result of a competition that challenged manufacturers to develop a design that would be recognizable even if broken or being grabbed in the dark. The winning design ultimately had a huge impact on visual art and culture, and is one of the defining shapes that represents the global company.
The only thing we love more than hearing stories about product iteration is actually being a part of the process. 3D printing is becoming more of a staple in the iteration process, and has helped countless designers perfect their products. As the original designers surely went through various iterations on their way to the perfect bottle, we worked with Conran and Partners on various designs before finding the right one.
Initially the bottle silhouette was printed in the fully expanded shape of the bottle. However, we quickly discovered in testing that once hung the bottle ornaments would stretch and distort. Shapeways, Coca-Cola and Conran and Partners worked closely over the next three days producing four new iterations of the bottle to perfect the design, ensuring that once it was hung, it would perfectly retain the iconic Coca Cola bottle shape without any color or branding. In the final design, the bottle is actually printed in a compressed shape to both compensate for stretching and increase packing efficiency in our printers.
In order to ensure the bottles printed and processed without fail, we designed a cage that would enclose the actual bottle as it printed so that each bottle could be "opened" and revealed individually after being processed. Check out the video below to see how the bottles looks when they come out of the printer!
Shapeways is so proud to be a part of this celebration with one of the most iconic brands in the world. Their bottle really set the bar for efficient product design, and we are thrilled to be able to use modern 3D printing technology to celebrate this traditional design.
For any community members in Atlanta (or planning a trip there), the exhibit will be open from February 28 through October 4th and will showcase original design illustrations, historical artifacts and experimentation with the iconic Coca-Cola bottle.
What do you think about the design of the Coca-Cola bottle? What other iconic designs would you love to see 3D printed?

Oracle's Ellison Issues Cloud Challenge
The next generation of Sun's Solaris operating system will have a major cloud component, according to Ellison, managing clusters of computers which in turn support customers' cloud efforts.
At least one analyst thinks that Ellison is shrewd to stick his head into the clouds.
"We like Oracle's vision of using Sun's assets to deliver unified solutions to customers to both power customer data centers and cloud provider data centers," wrote Pat Walravens, an analyst at JMP Securities, in a note released on Friday. "With Sun, Oracle will have most of, if not all, the tools needed to provide a full cluster."
Walravens warns, however, that Oracle will need to ensure it has the hardware production and supply chain capabilities to meet customer demand.
Oracle, which comfortably beat analysts' second-quarter estimates, also issued solid third-quarter guidance. Safra Catz, the company's president, explained that total revenue growth on a non-GAAP basis is expected to grow between 3% and 6% at current exchange rates and negative 3% to flat in constant currency. Excluding items, Oracle expects earnings between 36 cents a share and 38 cents a share, assuming current exchange rates, up from 35 cents a share in the same period last year. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect Oracle to report revenue of $5.71 billion and earnings of 36 cents a share. Oracle shares surged $1.45, or 6.3%, to $24.33 in Friday trading, outpacing the broader advance in tech stocks that saw the Nasdaq gain 1%. Sun's stock was also heading northward, albeit modestly, gaining 4 cents, or 0.4%, to reach $9.33. -- Reported by James Rogers in New YorkCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Ah, but the nobles wouldn't accept a child king; otherwise they would've simply recognized Edgar from the start.
And (to them) at least Harold is a fellow Saxon, and a skilled warrior to boot. He put the Welsh in their place, and defeated the Norse. What's more, he crushed the powerful Duke William (at least in this timeline).
I'd say that to the Saxons, Harold deserves the crown over Edgar. And his family has blood ties to the Cerdicingas, after all. He's simply the best overall candidate for the throne.

Flushing Out the Truth About Sewage and Coral Reefs
I never expected to be so intrigued and excited about poop, until a paper in PloS ONE came out in 2011 that demonstrated that a common human pathogen found in human wastewater, Serratia marcescens strain PDR60, caused white pox disease in elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata), the foundation species in Caribbean coral reefs.
Caribbean reefs have been plagued by disease in recent years and figuring out the source of the pathogens has been a challenge. Human sewage has long been a suspect, but the science behind this suspicion was always tenuous. I think most people would assume that exposing reefs to partially treated or untreated sewage couldn't be a good thing, but there were no clear data that made the connection of human sewage to the degradation of corals so clearly until this paper.
Unfortunately, there is plenty of untreated sewage making its way into tropical seas.
In the Caribbean, most sewage isn't actually treated, rather it is put into containers that sit in the ground — the ground being comprised of porous calcium carbonate rock (limestone) that is characteristically leaky.
In many places in the Pacific, the ocean is the toilet.

Keep the shotgun handy!!
Actually the .17 HMR2 and similar are more ballistically efficient designs. And should give better accuracy. The GAP was made for a shorter casing , therfore a smaller grip. Is it needed? The public will decide I guess.Originally Posted by Euclidean
I have the pleasure of owning several of his firearms. We go back together to 1984.Terry certainly is a gifted Master pistolsmith
Yeah, his stuff costs. But if you own one, you know why.
I am waiting to see Para O's LDA out in the .45 GAP. Should be out soon, according to this months Guns and Ammo. Cool thing is that anything they build in .45 Gap, they can do in .40 S&W and 9MM also. I would love to see a Para LDA in 9MM, personally.
Because it's more fun to complain about something new that to take advantage of the benefits (however minor they may be). Ego trip or not, it's going to be interesting to see what can be done with this cartridge.Why not take advantage of this aspect when building concealable firearms?
As long as old cartridges aren't eliminated, I don't care that new designs are brought to the market.
The latest edition of "American Rifleman" features a "micro" 1911 (Defender) in .45 GAP by Springfield Armory on the cover.
I'll be looking at one of these if (hope, hope, hope) we get CCW in NE this year for my carry weapon. Hey, need an excuse to buy another pistol, right??
I'm interested in the small grip aspect as a means to getting my wife interested/acclimated to autoloaders...she hates 'em but loves her wheelguns.
Might be his & hers bottomfeeders in our future since she's said she wants a CCW permit too.
If you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes.
I'm hoping the GAP takes off. I'd like to be able to shoot .45 in a 9mm/.40 size gun.
This is the jist of GAP...just like the .40...No reason it shouldnt take off...if manufacturers come up with new compact designs its a good thing.Originally Posted by CombatEffective
Brad B.
The Gap cannot be loaded to the same pressures as the ACP.(to the same speed) The .45ACP +P will outrun the GAP with any bullet weight. Stick with the good ol' ACP. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. If you want less power than the .45 ACP then go with the .40 S&W. Remember that all those fishing lures that you see at Wally World are not there to catch fish------they're there to catch fishermen. This is just one respectful opinion.
Um, they already make one, based on the P14 frame. I dont think they make a single stack in anything other than .45ACP, I cant be sure because the PXT extractor turned me off of PO and I dont keep up with the new models like I used to.Originally Posted by jnichols

A decade after a bloody conflict that saw at least 50,000 dead, Sierra Leone is joining Africa and the world stage in promoting its burgeoning film community.

Harewood seeks Villa stay
21 Jun 2008 - 15:45:17
Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood has vowed to stay with the club and prove his worth, following a difficult first season at Villa Park.
The 28-year-old made just three starts for Villa last term following his arrival from West Ham United, but made a further 22 from the substitute's bench and scored six goals.
Harewood said: "There's a lot more to come from this squad and hopefully a lot more to come from me. I want to play my part.
"I'm looking forward to my second season here and hopefully I can show more of what I can do. Hopefully I'll get the chance to shine.
"The fans saw what I could do in the second half of last season and I just want to get out there and show my stuff again next season. I can't wait for pre-season to start.
"As soon as I came to Villa I could tell everyone here was hungry for success and last season was just the start."
Harewood has been linked with the likes of Fulham, Stoke City and Queens Park Rangers, but still has two years left on his current Villa contract.

It's certainly does not feel like Fall.
This deliciousness makes me think that the crisp Fall air is just around the corner.
Plus, it's called Pumpkin Dream Cake.
Yes, I am dreaming about Fall and this cake to magically appear. I'm currently living out of a suitcase and my KitchenAid mixer didn't fit.

A meme in time saves nine
Memes always remind me of the scene in The Commitments when Jimmy interviews himself in the bathtub. All they essentially boil down to are fantasies of wanting to be interviewed, fantasies I'll admit to harboring myself. This meme is a bit more clever in origin: it's based on a passage from Calvino's fantastic If on a winter's night a traveler and stolen from Kate, via So Many Books.
Books you've been planning to read for ages
War and Peace. Elizabeth Bowen's books. The second half of Tender Is The Night. More detective novels. The rest of the George R.R. Martin series. All of those books that were so fashionable to love in 2006, 2005, 2004, but which I never got around to, and which are now somehow less important.
Books you've been hunting for years without success
Any old book of Jānis Rainis's poetry. They're either too scarce, too expensive, or in German, which is completely unhelpful.
Books dealing with something you're working on at the moment
I happen to be editing a translation of a book on physics at the moment, and Scarlett Thomas's The End of Mr. Y was a great companion for reworking language on quantum physics and theorems.
Books you want to own so they'll be handy just in case
Russian copies of Bulgakov's Master and Margarita, as well as The Yellow Arrow and several other Pelevin books. I have at best a very basic grasp of the language, but I keep copies on hand in case I get a brain tumor that suddenly allows me to learn Russian at a staggering pace, like John Travolta's character in Phenomenon. For now, unfortunately, it's just shelf eye candy.
Books you could put aside maybe to read this summer
Old Nancy Drew books. One of the few remaining Shirley Jackson books I have yet to read. The new Harry Potter. P.L. Travers. A nice autobiography of someone who knows her life was fun and fascinating, but doesn't make me feel that mine can't be as fun and fascinating as hers (precisely why I loved the Julia Child autobiography).
Books you need to go with other books on your shelves
The second and third volumes of the Latvian translation of Anna Karenina, to go with the first.
Books that fill you with a sudden, inexplicable curiosity, not easily justified
Better Homes and Gardens design and cookbooks from the sixties and seventies. I came back from a recent Ohio thrift shop trip with stacks of them – Fondue books, Barbecue books – the pictures of old meat, my goodness! The colorful tips of fondue forks, like the little pegs in Mastermind, were a source of great joy in my childhood, and I think that this is what I'm drawn to in these books. The sensation of rugburn comes flooding back as I turn the pages and remember the family parties, the familiar bare lighting of rec rooms in neighbors' basements, beechwood shelves stacked with board games and tennis balls, the air hockey table...
Books read long ago that it's now time to re-read
Of Human Bondage, which was my favorite book in high school, and it's been so long that I can't remember why. I recently learned that it was the book that made my mother really begin to love reading as well.
Books that if you had more than one life you'd certainly read but unfortunately your days are numbered
How morbid. In Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, she notes that it's been said that people reach middle age on the day they realize they'll never read Proust's In Search of Lost Time. I'm starting to waver on that one, but I think it would be ridiculous to resign myself to middle age so early.
This meme has a few questions in it that had me choking – I decided last night in a fit of decluttering (inspired by these pictures) that I need to get rid of all the unread books on my shelves that I have no chance of reading within the next five years, and the ones I've read that I'll never likely read again. The challenger of this decision is still rolling around in my head like a belligerent heavyweight, but he's sure to go down in the third round, when I have time this weekend to take stock of all the superfluous Things I own. My life is filled with too many Things, and the weight of them is impressive. I even went so far as to begin composing a letter last night to all of my relatives, asking them kindly not to give me any more Things. I often think that if, on a whim, we decided to go live in, say, Hawaii, it would be impossible to pack a bag of Things, because there are just too many Things I'd feel bad about leaving behind. Books are the biggest culprit.
And the temptation is always there for more: a list of 2007's most anticipated books is up at The Millions (via Bookdwarf). Many of those I can wait for in paperback (or use as incentive to get a library card), but I think I can make room on my shelves for one more Murakami...

Except the model that is on Amazon is a 16G 3Gs and is sold by a third party, not by Amazon themselves. There are no reviews on it, so I am not sure if it is actually selling. Also, it is hard to tell if this is a jailbroken model or not, as it is referred to as "Unlocked" The model that AT&T currently sells, subsidized for $49 is an 8G model. AT&T doesn't show the non-contract price on the website, so it's hard to tell what the retail price is.

November 2012Short CutsPreschool Families swarmed like bees to a hive to Friends of Potrero Hill Nursery School's grand opening last month. Over the years the preschool has moved numerous times; it'll now be in its Dogpatch location for many years to come, according to the recently renovated building's architect, Brian Liles, of Jackson Liles Architecture. "The school is community," said Julie Jackson, who also helped with the project, is Liles' business partner and spouse, and the mother of preschool alum. Some parents are still involved with the school even though their children are in high school. "The bond [among parents] is really strong," she said…Despite rumors to the contrary, Florinda "Flo" Cimino is still cutting hair at his eponymously named 20th Street storefront from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays…South of Dogpatch resident, and occasional View reporter, Bill Slatkin was recognized by the California State Assembly last month for his work on Progress Park. Congrats, Bill! Chocolate Jacky and Michael Recchiuti's Chocolate Lab opens at 801 22nd Street this month. The café offers chocolates, of course, as well as eclairs, floats, and a number of savory items, including Firebrand toasted sourdough layered with shiso leaves topped with bay shrimp and Cowgirl Creamery cheeses…Setting aside the seemingly random nature by which the Department of Public Works (DPW) marked the Hill's sidewalks for repair – with some squares that look perfect white-dotted, and others with large cracks in them left unpainted – Friends of the Urban Forest is offering a program to green sidewalks for $300 per property, which buys permitting, concrete removal plants and materials. At least 12 properties within a block or two are required to participate, with active efforts to recruit homes near the 300 block of Mississippi and Texas streets and elsewhere in the community…The San Francisco Giants have parted ways with their development partner, Cordish Companies of Baltimore, to build high-rises and parks on the 27-acre Seawall Lot 337, also known as "Lot A." The Port Commission gave the Giants a six-month extension on their exclusive development rights to the publicly-owned site while the team looks for a new partner. The Giants appear to smell more opportunity to profit from a restructured development plan. No Camping Oversized vehicles parked in Bayview and Dogpatch will have to go elsewhere as a result of a new ordinance that prohibits them from parking overnight. Over objections from homeless advocates that the law criminalizes poor people, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed the law seven to four, with John Avalos, Jane Kim, David Campos and Christina Olague in the minority. Starting March 1, any vehicle that's 22 feet long and seven feet tall will be banned from parking overnight on certain City streets from 2 to 6 a.m. A 2011 San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency survey found 461 oversized vehicles parked on City streets, roughly a third of which were in Bayview, Dogpatch, or Potrero Hill. "Forgive me if I come across as a little incompassionate about it," said District 10 Supervisor Malia Cohen. "I am tired of my neighborhood being the dump."…A serious traffic accident occurred last month near the south bound off-ramp from Interstate 280 at Mariposa and 18th streets. A car, traveling at a high rate of speed, came off the ramp toward 18th street and kept going, plunging off the bridge to the roadway below, with serious injuries to the occupants. This isn't the first time such an accident has happened at this location, and, without some appropriate response from transportation authorities, will not be the last. No Food After 25 years of support, for the second year in a row the federal Emergency Food and Shelter Program has declined to provide any funding to the San Francisco Food Bank, which is located on Pennsylvania Street. The national food program was cut by 40 percent in fiscal year 2011, from $200 million to $120 million, triggering tighter disbursement rules. To receive monies, a jurisdiction must have an unemployment rate of at least 10.7 percent, and a poverty rate of 15.8 percent. While parts of the City meet that criteria, San Francisco's overall rates are 8.3 percent and 11.9 percent. Things would be different if San Francisco wasn't the state's only combined city and county. "We have areas such as the Tenderloin and Hunters Point, but it doesn't seem to make a difference because we're just one big city," said Paul Ash, the Food Bank's executive director. "If Bayview were a city, it would be a different story." No Boxes Another of the View's newspaper boxes – this one located in front of the Whole Foods, at 17th and Rhode Island streets – has been seized by the City. The box had no doubt been graffitied and stickered, prompting the DPW to treat it like garbage. That's not the way things are supposed to work, though. As with all private property subject to tagging, proper notice must be given before DPW takes any kind of action. The View periodically receives emails notifying it that a box has to be cleaned-up, and promptly responds. But just as often the City simply scoops up a box and discards it, leaving the View with one less distribution point. The View has lost a half-dozen boxes in that fashion. Unless this war on a community newspaper stops, the View will soon be left with no boxes, making it that much harder for our readers to find us. Perhaps that's what DPW has in mind… Correction In last month's "Hill Property Owners Targeted for Sidewalk Repairs" it was incorrectly stated that the amount of sidewalk that requires a permit is 100 square feet. The triggering amount is actually 10 square feet. |

Midseason Reports Favor Falcons
Midseason Reports Favor Falcons
Jay Adams
Published November 8, 2012 at 9:17 AM
"Hey, guys. Let's run that play where we score a touchdown."
A couple of news outlets came out with their midseason reports this week and the Falcons are well represented.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King has quarterback Matt Ryan and tight end Tony Gonzalez on his midseason All-Pro team, and he handed out his midseason MVP to Ryan and named head coach Mike Smith his midseason coach of the year.
ESPN's John Clayton had Ryan as his All-Pro team quarterback.
Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com's NFC South blog, has an All-NFC South team that's riddled with Falcons. Yasinskas put 13 Falcons on his midseason team from the division and gave the Falcons plenty of love along the way.
On NFL.com's midseason All-Pro team, linebacker Sean Weatherspoon earns a spot, while Ryan got snubbed for Peyton Manning.
NFL.com also ranked the Falcons as the fifth best team in the race for the Super Bowl title, ranking the Bears — who pretty much have the same strength of schedule as the Falcons and have one loss — as the Lombardi favorite. Hmmm…

Golf popularity declining
Bullard, TX (KETK) — The number of Golfers in the United States has been declining for years. On Tuesday, even the national retailer, Dick's Sporting Goods, announced they are laying off 500 PGA pro's, after falling short of their golf sale's goals.
This is the trend even here in East Texas. KETK spoke with the Golf Professional at Peach Tree Golf Course, Jaerod Niles, who said, "We're seeing golfing numbers actually are declining. Not just here, but across the nation, worldwide".
Professionals believe this could be a generational issue. Niles said, "We're seeing less and less of the millennium age group, you know they have other things that they need to do". It could also be the time and money the game requires. He explained, "One of the issues with golf might possibly be you know it takes four hours to play a round of golf".
However, the fact remains-- it takes the younger generation's involvement to keep the sport alive. Players like 12-year-old Garrett Bron. Garrett said, "I enj`oy golf because I guess I love feeling that I could play multiple sports at a time. like I used to do baseball and I love to do something new for once". He's only been playing for two months, but believes this a sport everyone can enjoy for a lifetime. Garrett said, "Over the years I'll get better and better and as I get better, then I'll just keep playing".

Where is the government's investigation of 322 cases of compromised ER care?
Thursday, March 03, 2011
Vol 15. Issue 9, Leduc - Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer
Edmonton – Alberta Liberal Leader David Swann is repeating his call for the government to authorize an investigation of 322 cases of compromised care at one Edmonton emergency room.
"Our front-line health care professionals are doing an excellent job when they actually have the time and resources to treat patients," Swann says. "But these extraordinary cases show that top-level mismanagement of the system is making their jobs nearly impossible."
The 322 cases occurred at a single emergency room in Edmonton in 2008, according to leaked emails from Dr. Paul Parks to then Health Minister Ron Liepert. During the fall sitting of the Alberta Legislature, Swann asked Minister of Health Gene Zwozdesky to give the Health Quality Council the independence to properly investigate the problem, and the minister replied that it was "a suggestion that I'm prepared to take under advisement."
Swann wants Zwozdesky to direct the Health Quality Council to investigate the 322 cases of delayed, compromised care in order to assess how and why Albertans aren't getting timely treatment in emergency rooms. He also believes that the Health Quality Council should have more freedom to launch investigations on its own, and that it should report to the Legislative Assembly, not the Minister of Health.
"When assessing problems like this, independent analysis without fear of government pressure or censorship is absolutely crucial," Swann says.
Swann is also asking Zwozdesky once again to implement Pulling Through, Swann's emergency plan for the emergency room. It calls for the mobilization of all available health care professionals, extended hours for laboratory and imaging services, the opening of mothballed facilities, the immediate provision of alternative long-term care settings and other steps to quickly and significantly shorten wait times.

Mulls makes Millers return
Steve Evans says that Johnny Mullins recall is due to a deal that fell through for a Championship defender on Monday.
With a crippling injury list, Mullins has been recalled from his loan at Oxford United today with the Millers having just one fit centre back in Ian Sharps for Saturdays trip to Exeter.
Gaffer Evans explained to the clubs website: "Following my meeting this morning with the chairman I have had sanctioned a number of proposals which include the immediate recalling of Mulls from Oxford. "This was a consideration earlier this week until we had in place an agreement with a Championship club to sign an experienced central defender. However, that fell through when the player was injured in a practice match on Monday morning."
Mullins is free to play in the Millers FA Cup tie with Notts County.
MillersMAD also understands midfielder Danny Schofield may return early from his loan at Accrington to provide cover.

British playwright Kay Mellor's comedy demands to be discussed as television because her script has the emotional depth and the ringing clichés that are staples of Sunday-night network movies. It turns out -- surprise! -- that Mellor is a television writer, and she just made her feature-film screenwriting debut with Fanny and Elvis, a romantic comedy released in Britain, which has garnered criticism for its shallow characters. Also not surprisingly Mellor is currently in the process of turning A Passionate Woman into a TV movie. This process should involve only a moving van for transporting the set and costumes, more-sophisticated technology to enhance the ghost's shenanigans, and a real hot-air balloon instead of a basket powered by a hydraulic lift.
The Playhouse is delivering the American debut of A Passionate Woman, the story of Betty, an unhappily married housewife who goes into crisis on the day of her only son's marriage. When the scene opens, Betty has holed herself up in the attic, where her son finds her and attempts to coax her down to his wedding. Betty (played by Loretta Swit) rummages through old boxes and steamer trunks while her son, Mark (played by Scott Andrew Harrison), alternates between pleading with her and humoring her. Occasionally Betty's husband, Donald (played by John FitzGibbon), bellows out from downstairs, "Did you find her? Bring her down here!"
The scene drones on, and news of an illicit love affair Betty had early in her marriage is unearthed. Well unearthed is not the most precise word, as we are following such superficial dialogue there is little beneath the surface. The accents don't help. According to the play notes, it is set in the suburb of Leeds, England, but the accents seem to be some kind of Irish-Oregon hybrid.
The premise is that Betty and her son have a very open and communicative relationship, but she is flipping out because he is leaving the nest. All this emotion, intimacy, and turmoil is conveyed in banal exchanges. For instance when Betty says, "We won't be able to talk like we used to when you're married," her son responds: "Sure we will, Mom. You'll always be special to me."
While not overwhelmingly comic, Harrison does manage to make his character the most believable of the play. He even gives his character a sort of hip, Gen-X slant by acknowledging and accepting his mom's hanky-panky quite effortlessly.
Of course in rummaging around Betty finds -- you guessed it -- the Peggy Lee trinity of lost loves: a letter, a Nat King Cole album, and a chiffon dress. There's a flurry of letter-opening, swooning, Nat King Cole crooning, and the inevitable squeezing into the three-sizes-too-tight chiffon dress. In the midst of it all, an odd but welcome plot change emerges in the specter of Craze, the long-lost love, whose tousled bangs hanging over one eye and tight pants are undeniably Elvis, although the Elvis metaphor is never really developed.
In any case W.C. Green, who plays this would-be Elvis, is the only one in the cast who has sense enough to try to salvage his cardboard character by playing off it. He takes his character in the only direction it can go: over the top. Our Elvis has something sort of Jim Nabors about him as he loosens his baritone voice across the stage toward Betty. At first a dreamy, Love Boat-type persona, he later becomes goofy and dull. And at the end Craze is just the ghost of a young married guy who got caught trying to get his groove on. (It turns out his wife shot him in the back for his philandering.)
Because of its proportion to the stage (almost all set and no stage), the set looks like one on TV. Shifts in emotional tone and set changes are signaled by sound effects reminiscent of TV, in particular that '60s show Bewitched. Remember the twinkling sound when Samantha twitched her nose in doing something witchy? These are the sounds that signal scene changes and dramatic moments in A Passionate Woman. None of this offsets the fact that clichéd and uninteresting emotional pleas make up the bulk of the script: The son pleads for his mom to come down from the attic; the father demands the son and the mother come down from the attic; the son and the husband beg the mother to come down from the roof. When an attic, a ladder, a roof, some rope, and a hot-air balloon indicate the rising dramatic tension, you're in dangerous '70s slapstick sitcom territory.

The cassette is the cluster of sprockets on the axle of the rear wheel. It is a set of sprockets and spacers with no moving parts as it slides on to a cassette body around the axle which contains the moving parts and is locked in place with a lock ring.
The number of sprockets determines how many gears you have and what 'speed' your gears are i.e. when you hear people say they have a 10 speed groupset they have 10 cogs at the back, 11 speed is 11 cogs etc. The number of teeth on the sprocket determines how easy or hard it is to pedal; the lower the number the more difficult to pedal whilst vice versa with the more teeth the easier it is. Sprockets cannot be mixed so you buy whatever ratio you need in a pre-determined format, for example 12- 30, but there is a wide choice of ratios available and the cassette is easy to change with the correct tools.
Shimano is the dominant manufacturer for off-road suitable cassettes but thankfully SRAM cassettes also fit Shimano hub bodies giving you more choice. The only caveat is that you must use a corresponding number of sprockets to your gear mechs, levers and chains, i.e. 10 speed with 10 speed and so on, for perfect shifting. Likewise if you upgrade to a higher number of sprockets on your cassette you must upgrade to the similar compatible number on your gear mechs, levers and chain.

Help City Arts and Station North bring Kansas City community arts collective, Whoop Dee Doo, to Baltimore for a rockin' time! Read more
Help City Arts and Station North bring Kansas City community arts collective, Whoop Dee Doo, to Baltimore for a rockin' time!
About this project
Whoop Dee Doo is finally coming to Baltimore! Hurrah! Yippie! Bravo! For those of you not hip to it, Whoop Dee Doo is a non-profit faux public access television show that is lead by approximately twenty Kansas City-based artists and volunteers. Whoop Dee Doo hosts live, free shows and workshops with various communities and under-served youth groups.
And as you may have noticed in the amazing video above, Whoop Dee Doo engages the most drastically diverse audiences and collaborates with a wild range of performers from science teachers and Celtic bagpipers to clogging troupes, drill teams, punk bands and drag queens – all in the attendance of wide-eyed children!!! The presence of this chaotic mix is an awkward, yet endearing experience, embracing a huge range of tastes and sensibilities, and stripping away divisions between high and low art. Whoop Dee Doo strives to break down barriers between age/ gender/ culture/ sub-culture AND form and foster unique collaborations between unlikely pairings of community members, which then blossom into exceptional and meaningful interactions.
AND THOUGH WE ARE ABLE TO BRING ALL OF THIS AWESOMENESS TO BALTIMORE CITY- WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP! Baltimore is filled with amazing talent and a long list of incredible organizations that would be perfect matches for a Whoop Dee Doo show- and so we need a bit more dough to be able to invite as many performers and collaborators as we'd like as well as make sure we have all the equipment we need to put on a great show- SO PLEASE DONATE AND HELP US MAKE THIS PROJECT THE WILDEST SUCCESS EVER!
Whoop Dee Doo will be in Baltimore in April and will unleash the talent show at City Arts in Greenmount West on Thursday, April 26 and will continue the fun the following night by hosting a block party to celebrate Station North's Final Friday for the month! So, again, help us make it amazing! AND MAKE SURE TO STOP BY AND SEE US IN APRIL!
Project orchestrated by MICA Curatorial Practice MFA 2013 candidates, Catherine Akins, Deana Haggag, and Matt Spalding with support from the Station North Arts and Entertainment District and the lovely folks at City Arts!
Video intro and outro filmed and produced by the MICA Community Arts Program interns Max Anderson, Kimi Hanauer, Lee Heinemann, Kat Kinnick, and Amanda Metcalf (who are also incredibly amazing and key players in making this project come to life)!
