Most kids go through a stage in which they refuse food. That's when parents/grandparents turn creative.
"Here comes the motorboat," sputters the feeder, holding a spoon laden with something designed to tempt the defiant one.
Of course this is done with appropriate boat sounds. And the one doing the feeding hopes like everything the kid won't spit the whole spoonful back at said feeder.
Then there's the airplane zooming over with another delivery of nutrition, again accompanied by original parental sound track.

We have all heard the tagline on an advertisement that goes like this: A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste. It can be taken another step by saying an Imagination is a terrible thing to waste. I guess it could be argued that without a mind to waste, imagination falls the wayside by default. Perhaps this is true.

There's a bit of irony to this week's segment of Sense & Nonsense. On the same day that we are introducing a reading column, based on what area people are reading — and which I'm putting together — I'm basing this week's regular effort on memories of the place where I saw my first movies.
Not that movies and books would be viewed as opposite entities anyway — at least not exactly — since many of our most revered films originated in book form before finding their way to the Silver Screen.

Sometimes I think a genie lives in Facebook (grin), and my weird hypothesis was recently vindicated …
Have you ever thought about a really old friend that you have not thought about for decades? Well, I got to thinking recently about friends who helped channel my life's interests and for some reason the name Roger Dunn popped into my mind. He was a little older than me, and in some ways we were simpatico and he had all kinds of cool things in his workroom at home.
The famous bard raised the question "What's in a name?"
Shakespeare's response to his own query in "Romeo and Juliet" was "That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
But would it really?
When you give a child a name, you're stuck with it for life unless you go through a court proceeding or decide to change it on your own without the benefit of the legal system and that could get you into trouble on occasion.
Names tend to be cyclical, as my own would indicate.
Finding the perfect purse is no easy task.
It's a project the faint of heart should avoid at all costs because the quest is fraught with frustration and aggravation.
Whenever I find one I really like, it's a foregone conclusion it will wear out almost by the time I get all my stuff inside.
If it's really tacky, it will last till the proverbial cows come home.
I've found that most purses are either too big, too little, too plain, too fancy, too something.
The world is full of cliches that neatly sum up a solution or explanation for nearly every situation. "Easy come, easy go" and "No good deed goes unpunished" are among some of the more widely known.
Another is "The only constant is change." This jewel is attributed to Heraclitus, a greek philosopher who died in 475 BC. Actually, his original statement was "Nothing endures but change." A comparison of the two statements proves his point.
The problem is that neither life nor anything else is not as simple as a few words strung together.
There are all sorts of quizzes going around that start out "you know you're getting older if ... "
A laundry list of "old stuff" follows.
A few years back, I came up with another one, all on my own, and I think it bears noting again.
Here it is: You know you're getting older if you don't use the whole keyboard on your computer.
Long ago it was established that I can't draw.
This has been officially noted at the high school, college and later-in-life levels.
Even before reaching these plateaus, I essentially failed cut-paste-and-color at the elementary level, but it was a kinder, gentler school system then and no one went on record with the crushing evaluation.
Years later I thought of this as I watched Gayla McCoy doodling in a meeting and was nothing short of amazed. She was drawing a pair of fish that could have been straight out of a Disney film strip. They actually looked like talking fish.
The Bauxite Museum is a delightful place to visit.
Anyone who hasn't take the time to do so is engaging in self-deprivation. The exhibits — and there are many — tell stories that evoke memories of another time that many of us remember fondly.
On one of my visits there several years ago, I heard the story about "Bottle" Wilmoth's famous bowl he took for a Mulligan stew that was to be served to workers at Reynolds mining operations.
According to Melba Shepard's account, each employee was informed he could have one bowl only of the stew. That was enough to inspire Mr. Wilmoth's humor.

April kicks off the start of Alcohol Awareness Month – a busy time at The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. Today we're releasing new survey results revealing that parents are talking to their kids about the dangers of underage drinking, and most importantly, kids are hearing these important messages from the people who love them most.
Nearly half of parents surveyed (46%) reported talking with their son or daughter four or more times in the past year about the dangers of underage drinking, and a nearly equal number (42%) of youth reported speaking with their parents, grandparents, or another adult caregiver about the issue. This is a significant improvement over 2003 when there was a larger disconnect between parents and kids. Nine years ago, only 26% of youth reported their parents or grandparents had spoken to them in the past year about the dangers of drinking alcohol, compared to 49% of parents who reported speaking with their children. Despite full social and academic calendars, kids are recalling their parents talking to them about the risks of underage drinking. This is great, great news. Read more about the survey results.
That said, of course there's always more work to do. Parents wield the power to influence their kids' decisions concerning underage drinking. Parents, we urge you to visit www.asklistenlearn.com/parents to learn more about how to start a natural and reoccurring conversation with your kids about saying no to underage drinking. While you're there, take the pledge with your kids to "Say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking."
Please follow us on Twitter and Facebook throughout the month – we have guest blogs from passionate people and more exciting announcements ahead including new superstar athletes, a booktour promoting The Drama Years: Real Girls Talk About Surviving Middle School Bullies, Brands, Body Image, and More, and an option to turn yourself into the Most Decorated US Winter Olympian, Apolo Ohno.
Working together, we can – and are – making a difference.

I purchased my iphone 4 on launch day in the US i did experience many drop calls in weak sigal areas, since then i´ve been in Mexico, Germany, England and France in NONE of those places did i drop ONE phone call i could not even replicate de issue by droping bars so i really believe 100% thi is an AT&T issue.
I will second that. A friend of mine calls his wife on his daily commute and they both have AT&T. They were dropping as many calls with their iPhones as their Motorola RAZR flip phones before. It's AT&T.

Type 2 Software Engineer Develops 'Nagbot' for Diabetes Reminders
A little nagging can go a long way when it comes to keeping on top of all that diabetes life requires of us.
I know that firsthand, as I've done my fair share of slacking through these past 30 years of living with type 1. Thankfully, I've also had an awesome support team over the years that has helped "get me in gear" when I most needed a boost.
The same can be said for…

Ex-bus driver gets 160 years for sex assaults on students
Saturday, February 23, 2013
CONCORD — On Friday in U.S. District Court, John Allen Wright was ordered to serve 160 years in prison, a sentence U.S. Attorney John Kacavas called "unprecedented in the state of New Hampshire."
Kacavas informed the court that afternoon the victims are 4, 4� and 8 years old, with autism and developmental disabilities which render them physically voiceless. He then held up the black sunglasses for all to see, pulling the evidence from a small plastic bag.
Velardi said that would also entail communicating with the family members of the victims, whom Kacavas said were not present in federal court Friday.
Before Judge McAuliffe accepted Kacavas' recommendation to sentence Wright to 160 years, he debated the point with Starbranch, who requested his client only be sentenced to 25 years. Starbranch said Wright suffers from severe psychosis, not specified, and schizophrenia.
Judge McAuliffe also told the court he didn't want to set what some have called an "absurd" precedent, sentencing a man to incarceration for longer than his natural life, but Kacavas told Foster's he is aware of at least one other state where an extended sentence has been imposed.
In a press release, Kacavas said he would like to thank the state ICAC Task Force, the FBI, the Strafford County Attorney's office and the police departments from Rochester, New London, Dover and Kittery, Maine.

Sharing the Load
In This Article:
In the end, though, no matter what the cultural, psychological, or biological forces may be in our lives, we still have to make choices based on principle. You are entitled to make a case for certain values, to say what you think your children need, and to name what you feel is fair or unfair. Here are examples of principled responses to various objections we've heard fathers make to carrying more of the total load; please adapt them to your own needs and voice:
- "I'm not as good at it as you are. Plus the kids go to you anyway." Like anything, you just need to practice a little. The kids will get used to you doing certain things, and I'll direct them to you more. Plus you could initiate and not wait for the kids to come to me. Additionally, even if I'm the one who always washes Angel's hair, you could still help more by reading to Michael or cleaning up the kitchen.
- "You always interfere, and I've quit trying." I don't always interfere, but I do sometimes. I'm trying to help, anyway, not interfere, but I can understand that you feel crowded, so I'll promise to back off.
- "You just want someone to do things for you." Nope, I want you to do things with me. It's not just about getting stuff done. When you do your part, it makes me feel connected to you, like I'm not alone and we're in this together. I made a baby with you and I would love for us to share that experience in a happy way together.
- "I do more than my dad did." That's great, and I appreciate it. But there is still more to do if we're going to be fair about it.
- "My job is so stressful that I need to rest at home." Remember how you nearly fainted with relief when I finally got home after you were alone with the kids that one time for a few hours? Now imagine doing that for many hours instead of a few, and for a thousand days instead of one. If we're talking about getting a break based on the stress level of our typical day, in fairness I deserve rest at least as much as you.
- "Making a living counts for more than raising children." I believe that it's the other way around. Child rearing counts for more since it so directly impacts our precious children. And it's usually harder, day after day. I am not setting child rearing above making a living. But it is at least equal.
- "I make all the money, so you should handle the housework and kids." I do handle the housework and kids while you are making money. I'm talking about what you do when you're not commuting or at work. You wanted children and now we've got them. You can see that it's best for them when we are both involved in the morning, at night, or over the weekend. Speaking personally, it does not feel fair for me to keep on going while you watch TV or go out with your friends. How would you feel about someone at work who did that sort of thing while you kept getting things done? Would you feel resentful? Would you be eager for them to do their share?
- "I make more money than you." I appreciate all the money you bring in to our family. But that does not change what is good for our children and our relationship, when we are both at home in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. (And follow with the points just above.)
- "It's because you're working that the kids need so much and there's so much housework." I think that's hitting below the belt. If l didn't work, our kids would still need you to help out in the evenings and weekends. We need my salary, and even if we didn't, I have as much right to work as you. Besides, we could just as well turn the point against you: The kids wouldn't need so much if you, their father, stayed home. In fairness, the hard choices between career and time with children should fall just as much on a father as a mother. We both work, we both need to parent, and we both need to do housework.
- "That's woman's work." There is no law that says so. You did dishes before you met me, and it wasn't women's work then. I don't think you take it easy while I wash clothes or give the kids a bath out of high moral principle, but simply because that's your personal preference. You're just as capable as I am of putting a child to sleep or feeding a toddler.
- "Quit telling me what to do." I don't want to tell you what to do. Usually I try not to. And if I ever do, it's because you won't make a reasonable agreement with me about who does what - or you make one but don't stick with it. I'm the messenger of what our kids or home needs, so please don't be angry at me for just bringing the message. If you saw what needed doing in the first place, I wouldn't have to bring a message at all. Besides, why is it fair for you to tell me what to do about the car or computer or mutual fund or whatever, but I can't tell you anything about what to put in a lunchbox?
- "Get off my back, or else." I'd be glad to talk about this when you're calmer. But I'm going to ask: What's the "or else"? Are you really going to hit me or walk out on your kids because I'm tired of picking your socks up off the floor? Because I'd appreciate it if you'd get home sooner?

Rhode Island may be the smallest state in the Union, but its capital city has one of the most diverse and vibrant cultures of any metropolis in the country. About 178,000 Rhode Island residents call the capital their home, and people looking for Providence apartments for rent will be pleased at the myriad of choices they are provided with. Providence sits at the head of Narragansett Bay, and has emerged as one of the most important academic centers on the East Coast over the course of its long history. The compact design of the city makes it easy to travel from one end to another, while nearby summer destinations offer city-dwellers and residents of Providence apartments a chance to wind down on some of the best beaches in New England.
Whether you're looking for Providence apartments for rent to better enjoy the seaside scenery, nightlife or cultural institutions of the city, you can do so without much effort due to its small size. Taking in the views of the elegant bridges that span the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck rivers can easily be followed by a meal at one of the area's finest dining establishments, and residents of apartments in Providence may enjoy taking a leisurely stroll between locations. Going out in Providence is easy for young adults and college students, as there are many clubs and bars that provide exciting opportunities to enjoy the city after dark. Referred to by the locals as Rhode Island's own "Little Italy," the capital city of Providence is known and loved for its abundance of historic and cultural attractions. Three hundred and fifty years of history are alive and well on the streets of Providence, as evident in the preserved Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival and Victorian houses located throughout the city. The Rhode Island State House, John Brown House and the First Baptist Church in America are some of the many historic buildings open to the public year-round.
Although you'll find an abundance of local amenities when you're looking for Providence apartments for rent, be wary of the prices. According to AreaVibes, the cost of living in Providence is 25.3 percent greater than the national average. As for housing, AreaVibes reports that rentals are also high, with the average apartment costing 12.5 percent more than the national average.
The presence of so many academic institutions and hospitals provides residents with numerous job opportunities, and Brown University and Rhode Island Hospital are the two biggest employers in the metropolitan area. Providence has also become a haven for the service industry, as some of its restaurants and hotels have earned it national acclaim. People looking for apartments for rent in Providence may notice the high number of students trying to find housing in the area, with attendees of institutions like Brown University, Johnson & Wales, Providence College and the Rhode Island School of Design hoping to secure a residence in the city.

This makes purchasing an nvidia laptop (with Linux, I mean) a lot more interesting. Even though I still tend to wish to support AMD in this field.
Phoronix: Bumblebee Has Tumbleweed For NVIDIA Optimus On Linux
Bumblebee 3.0 "Tumbleweed" has been released as an updated (and unofficial) way of handling NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux...
This makes purchasing an nvidia laptop (with Linux, I mean) a lot more interesting. Even though I still tend to wish to support AMD in this field.
They've just released version 3 and are already working on the next release, with fixing bug/issues and developing a GUI.
A notebook with Radeon HD 6620G doesn't use such a technology. And is about as fast as GeForce GT 540M, GeForce GT 550M, at a much lower power consumption. IMHO for mainstream notebook gaming AMD has better solutions than Intel+Nvidia.
Prior to reading this article, I incidentally just finished writing a howto for the recent muxless Intel/ATI hybrid graphics, also known by Powerexpress 4.0 (analogous to Optimus). This can be accessed in the Gentoo Forums at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-909802.html.
In summary, I was able to get the discrete GPU working with both fglrx (proprietary) and radeon (opensource) drivers on my machine, which is a recent Sony Vaio S 13.3 that has Intel Core i5 2430M CPU and a Radeon 6630M GPU.
The fglrx driver is surprisingly way ahead of Nvidia drivers in that respect. It does in fact interact with the Intel X.org driver to do the rendering on the Radeon GPU. A true hybrid driver. Interestingly, it means that we now have a Intel KMS on the frontend with the Radeon GPU at the backend - a total win. There is a slight lag while using Radeon, but may be its just me.
In the howto, I also wrote about running a bumblebee style second X server on Radeon GPU and using VirtualGL to run 3D applications on this X server. The second X server at the moment can only be run with the opensource radeon driver - no luck with fglrx. So to conclude, fortunately nothing in Bumblebee seems to be actually specific to Optimus, except for the ACPI calls that differ anyway between various systems. I think they should really start including radeon support into Bumblebee.
Overall, it seems there is a little lack of information and even misinformation about the state of radeon hybrid graphics, but I think it is actually going in a good direction. I myself was in a bit of despair with my Sony notebook a week back and currently I am very pleased. All said, I am actually more pleased by the performance and power consumption of Intel graphics on this computer, and hence mostly sticking to the integrated graphics.
Last edited by hdas; 01-21-2012 at 05:40 AM.
For the long term, I think the fglrx drivers will properly support hybrid graphics on their own, and they do work even now as I mentioned in the howto (with some possible additional work of specifying the bus ID). So I think the open source radeon drivers should be supporting hybrid graphics too in near future. I am definitely excited that the radeon driver works like the Bumblebee method, but I am more surprised and curious about the way the fglrx interacts (and "hijacks") the Intel X.org drivers.
If possible, someone may also shed some light on whether the Nvidia and ATI hybrid graphics systems differ fundamentally and if so, how.
here which might help. I have created a github account finally and started following the issue .

Celebrated as one of the most outstanding contemporary violists through his association with the Ensemble InterContemporain and the Arditti Quartet Music and his work as a soloist, Garth Knox turns his attention to the viola damore for the first ECM disc issued under his name. In Knoxs hands this almost-forgotten baroque instrument takes on a new life as he applies it to music from 1600 to the present day. Repertoire includes music by Tobias Hume and Marin Marais from the 17th century, by Attilio Ariosti from the 18th century, by Klaus Huber and Roland Moser from the 20th, and by Knox himself from the 21st. Garth also offers arrangements of folk music from Celtic sources that connects to his own Irish/Scottish heritage. A wonderful programme superbly played by Knox and French cellist Agnès Vesterman.

But owners hope to find a family that cherishes it as they have. To spend days fishing, snorkeling, diving, swimming in gin-clear cerulean waters, to spend evenings dining out of doors under stars or entertain up to 80 indoors for a lavish affair. 38 acres of majesty where childhood dreams of Robinson Crusoe meet adult fantasy of casual luxury, where swirling blues of the sea marry the flat calm of an infinity pool, where hundreds of palms are a backdrop for brilliant tropical foliage, where the orchid-filled manor house is a home you never want to leave. An island of your own in a safe, secure English-speaking country with a 275-year-old stable democracy and no estate, income, corporate or inheritance taxes. Arrive by your own seaplane. Depart whenever you want -- or not at all.

Lemongrass & Coconut Cream Grilled Mussels
I hope everyone have had a great July 4th celebration. This July 4th marks the 7th anniversary of Rasa Malaysia. Yep, seven years ago on July 4th, 2006, I started Rasa Malaysia as a hobby. Never have I thought that this humble blog has flourished into something so big and meaningful…I have to thank you—my readers. Thanks for staying with me and your tremendous support all these years, and I hope to be serving you more easy and delectable recipes in many years to come. Thank you!
Anyway, everything has been going very well for me on Rasa Malaysia and I am so excited that I am one of the contributors to the launch of KithenAid's new blog "Kitchenthusiasts." My challenge was "Rock a Cookout" with KitchenAid Outdoor Grill. Summer is in full swing now and I'm sure everyone has many summer BBQ's to attend to. To me, there is nothing more fun—and delicious—than having your friends and family together for a summer cookout with an outdoor grill.
While chicken, steak, and burgers are popular, I wanted to challenge myself to rock a cookout with fresh mussels. Mussels are briny and they are especially enticing—and aromatic— when grilled over fire. My recipe is quick and easy, and the total prep time and cook time are short so you can have more fun mingling with your friends and family instead of manning the grill all day long. I love pairing these Lemongrass and Coconut Cream Grilled Mussels with cold beer as they are absolutely delightful and addictive.

If you don't have a KitchenAid grill, is the procedure the same in the oven?
yumm, I love the smell of lemon grass. and congrats on your successful 7 years of bloggings :)
This is lovely! I like to throw a lemongrass stalk, ginger & cili padi into the wok as I steam up my mussels/shellfish. So fragrant. Next time, I'll add some coconut milk.

When Al "Chainsaw" Dunlap became CEO of the Scott Paper Co., the company owned a large, vertically integrated production facility in Mobile, Alabama. Dunlap sold part of the production facility, a cogeneration power plant (later known as Mobile Energy Services Co.), to the Southern Co. for $350 million. This case is set in August 1995, when Mobile Energy Services Co. was trying to issue two bonds worth $340 million to refinance its acquisition bridge loans. Potential bond investors must consider the risks associated with an "inside the fence" energy complex. In particular, they must consider how the transformation from a vertically integrated to a vertically separated facility will affect the power plant's creditworthiness and whether the contractual agreements that bind the parties and govern the operations will be as effective as uniform ownership. Because of vertical separation, Mobile Energy Service's ability to service its debt obligation depends on the long-term viability of the energy supply contract it has with the mills.
learning objective:
To identify and assess project risks, with an emphasis on market (contract) risk. To examine the terms of the input/output agreements between the parties.
subjects covered:
Acquisitions; Contracts; Divestiture; Energy; Project finance; Restructuring; Risk assessment; Vertical integration

There is a revolution going on right now that has many consumers purchasing electric cars, hybrid cars and other green vehicles and cars as a means of increasing the efficiency of their vehicles while decreasing the emissions that their cars create while they are on the road. While one way to be more green when it comes to driving is simply to leave your car at home and to take the bus or ride a bike instead, if you absolutely must drive a car, you can turn to numerous green car options that increase efficiency while decreasing the amount of emissions that you create while driving, especially in heavy stop and go traffic. Here are some of the green car benefits that you can consider. One of the best types of hybrid cars to consider is the diesel electric hybrid electric vehicle, or diesel HEV, which provides numerous benefits to the ecosystem and your gas bill, including the following:
1 - Power on Demand.
Green diesel hybrid electric vehicles are capable of saving a significant amount of energy and cutting down significantly on emissions by providing power on demand. What this means is that green diesel hybrid electric vehicles can temporarily shut off the internal combustion engine during periods where it is not necessary to run, such as during modes where the vehicle is coasting or idling. This is because these are situations where the electric motor is providing more than enough energy all on its own to provide power to the various systems in the vehicle, meaning that the vehicle can be kept running properly without petroleum being burned to keep it going. This is an absolutely effective way to increase efficiency while reducing harmful emissions, which is why HEV vehicles are considered to be so green in nature.
2 - Smaller Engine Size.
Green diesel hybrid electric vehicles are capable of saving a significant amount of energy and cutting down significantly on emissions by providing a much smaller engine size. This is one of the largest gains that you will experience when it comes to green vehicles and hybrid vehicles, because it offer significant overall efficiency by using a much smaller engine that is naturally much more efficient as well. Most traditional vehicle engines are sized so that they can provide power for fast acceleration, though this is relatively infrequent and during most driving, the engine is much larger than it needs to be to be effective. For this reason, HEV vehicles and other green hybrid vehicles implement an electric motor so that some of the power that is delivered during the acceleration process is electric in nature, greatly reducing how much energy the internal combustion engine has to produce for the acceleration process. For this reason, a hybrid electric vehicle can be equipped with a much smaller engine while still providing the same amount of power during the acceleration process with far less emissions as a result.
3 - Regenerative Braking.
Green diesel hybrid electric vehicles are capable of saving a significant amount of energy and cutting down significantly on emissions by providing regenerative braking. This is an excellent method of saving energy and cutting down on emissions which is why it is implemented in every HEV concept or green car concept. Regenerative braking allows energy that would normally be lost through the braking process to be recovered instead, and this energy is stored within the batteries in the electric engine so that the electric motor can make use of it later. The engine powered generator produces electrical energy only when there is not already a full charge that is being provided through the regenerative braking process. In other words, you are creating powerful energy in your car every time you brake, and cutting down on energy expenditure and emissions in the process.
4 - Constant Engine Speeds and Power Output.
Green diesel hybrid electric vehicles are capable of saving a significant amount of energy and cutting down significantly on emissions by providing constant power output and constant engine speeds. This way, the diesel engine is only going to be used when it engine has reached optimum power output and engine speeds. In all series and parallel hybrids, this can be enabled when the engine is powering the electric generator, rather than providing power directly to the wheels. By allowing the diesel engine to operate more consistently, fuel efficiency can be increased while emission output is decreased.
Secondary Benefits of green vehicles include increased vehicle performance, conventional fueling infrastructure and cost effectiveness.
5 - Increased Vehicle Performance Capabilities.
Green vehicles like HEV hybrid electric vehicles can achieve excellent performance levels that are comparable in nature to conventional vehicles. Diesel hybrid electric vehicles for example offer excellent power and acceleration capabilities along with a driving range that is either equal to our greater than alternative fuel powered vehicles with direct drive.
6 - Conventional Fuel and Fueling Infrastructure.
In contrast to many other alternative fuel vehicles, one of the differences that is provided by diesel hybrid electric vehicles and other similar green vehicles is that they can use fuels like diesel, which allows for them to be refueled conventionally. While some hybrid vehicles and other alternative vehicles cannot be refueled conventionally, there has been resurgence in the number of vehicles that can refuel normally while still providing enormous alternative energy benefits.
7 - Cost Effectiveness and Availability.
Gasoline powered hybrid electric vehicles, including diesel powered hybrid electric vehicles are not completely available yet, but they are slowly becoming made available in numerous different types of passenger cars. Diesel HEV vehicles are being released in a number of different vehicle applications including mass transit busses, trucks, SUVs and other types of vehicles. This type of experience is indicating that diesel hybrid electric vehicles and other similar vehicles are going to be not only more cost effective, but also much more widely available over time, making them an excellent alternative for driving while cutting down emissions and increasing overall efficiency.
Whether you are looking for Acura, Aston Martin, Ferrari, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, or other big name manufacturers you can find them at Green Hybrid Electric Cars.
