We all know that then-FEMA director Michael Brown's response to Katrina was grossly incompetent. But now a regional director of FEMA has started talking to the press, and as Josh Marshal says, it's worse than you thought. Savor this: Later, on Aug. 31, Bahamonde frantically e-mailed Brown to tell him that thousands of evacuees were gathering in the streets with no food or water and that "estimates are many will die within hours." "Sir, I know that you know the situation is past critical," Bahamonde wrote. Less than three hours later, however, Brown's press secretary wrote colleagues to complain that the FEMA director needed more time to eat dinner at a Baton Rouge restaurant that evening. "He needs much more that (sic) 20 or 30 minutes," wrote Brown aide Sharon Worthy. "We now have traffic to encounter to go to and from a location of his choise (sic), followed by wait service from the restaurant staff, eating, etc. Thank you."
A post on "unnecessary driving" from Clark and a post on poverty and obesity patterns over on NEW's blog both point to the same fact: The structure of our built environment largely determines our day-to-day habits. It's hard to eliminate "unnecessary driving" if the store, school, and work are miles away through pedestrian-unfriendly highways. It's hard to eat healthy when you're surrounded by fast-food restaurants, the nearest supermarket is a long bus ride away, and local/organic food is nowhere to be found. Most people, particularly poor people, live in environments that make unhealthy and eco-unfriendly choices the path of least resistance. There are very few built environments in the U.S. that make eco-friendly choices easy. You need to be relatively well-to-do and live near the core of one of a small number of transit-friendly, progressive cities. So, it's fine and dandy to ask people to push against the grain, to sacrifice and go out of their way, to make eco-friendly choices. There's nothing wrong with pushing people to display personal virtue. But it sometimes seems to me that environmentalists are devoted almost entirely to this quixotic undertaking -- indeed that "environmentalism" is sometimes taken as synonymous with personal virtue. That's bad. It gives an easy out to those at the local, state, and federal level who make public policy decisions. It reduces political matters to "personal responsibility." Environmentalists ought to be devoted to reshaping public policy, in order to reshape our built environments, in order to make eco-friendly choices easy, so the health of the earth does not require most people on it to be virtuous, cause that's never going to happen. And yes, I make this point over and over and over again. Sue me. I like to harp.
Well, of all the things I might have thought would affect oil prices, here's one that never occurred to me: apparently a growing number of oil-rig crews are meth users. Ben Dell, analyst at Sanford Bernstein, said the issue was serious enough to have an impact on international oil prices. He said: "With a third of all rig crews in the Rocky Mountains having methamphetamine problems, it's difficult to get a crew that's not high." Seems that sodium hydroxide, one of the main ingredients of meth, is used to reduce the acidity of drilling mud, and thus easily available on rigs. Random drug tests are now the order of the day, people are getting fired right and left, and it's increasingly hard to find workers. This comes at an awful time for an industry whose workforce is aging: "Most industry groups put the average age of employees at 49, with 50 percent expected to retire in the next five to 10 years." Tweaking, it turns out, is not really what you want in an oil-rigger: "Meth is particularly dangerous for oil and gas workers because meth users go through a wide range of emotions including the Superman stage during which they believe themselves to be invincible," Mr Walsmith added. "Believing oneself to be invincible when working with hundreds of tons of steel and thousands of pounds of explosive pressure can maim or kill in an instant." Crazy. How about instead of drilling in the Arctic Refuge, we offer drug counseling on oil rigs? Probably have roughly the same effect on oil price. (via The Watt)
The Senate Energy Committee voted today to include Arctic Refuge drilling in a massive budget reconciliation proposal, which will make it filibuster-proof. The fate of the budget reconciliation is not totally clear, but the odds are looking pretty grim. Our own Amanda Griscom Little will be writing more about this later in the week. If you want to do something to try to stop it, the Wilderness Society has your standard online petition going. Sigh. As a political issue, I find the Refuge rather mystifying.
In the midst of a long post on Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer's coal-to-liquid-fuel plans, Oil Drummer Stuart Staniford provides a handy one-paragraph-long roundup of evidence on global warming. The next time someone you know asks about it, just cut and paste this paragraph and send it to them. Warming cliff notes! [W]e are reaching the point where we can see that we are starting to make massive, probably irreversible, changes to our climate. The glaciers are in full retreat almost everywhere, the Arctic is melting (with total melting of the summer sea ice possible, though not certain, as early as 2020), the permafrost is melting, and releasing large amounts of methane, which is a very powerful global warming gas, while in the last thirty years, droughts have doubled due to warming, hurricanes are much more intense all over the globe, and are showing up in places they never did before in recorded history. Scientists have been projecting changes in ocean circulation, and lo-and-behold, they are starting to show up, including changes to the North Atlantic Circulation, although major change here was previously thought unlikely this century. There is some possibility of changes in deepwater circulation destabilizing methane hydrates in the ocean, particularly in South East Asian deeps. Oh, and the Greenland ice sheet is now melting much faster than climatologists expected, and the West Antarctic ice sheet is starting to collapse, though again, this was previously thought unlikely. Also paleoclimatological studies have made it clear that in the past the climate abruptly flipped between modes, sometimes with dramatic change in as little as three years. And we are making rapid changes in carbon dioxide, known to be critically important in regulating the temperature of this sensitive climatic system for a century now. As he says, "maybe there's some scientific doubt still on any individual piece of the picture, but the gestalt is starting to look extremely alarming." Yes.
It's a couple weeks before Halloween, but if you're looking for a nice horror story, try the LA Times piece on post-Katrina reconstruction. You know how sometimes President Bush makes big, rousing speeches full of earnest declarations, with his chest all puffed out, making that one annoying hand gesture, and then in subsequent weeks adds several carefully staged photo-ops, and then his administration doesn't follow up on anything and whatever the subject of the speech was descends into chaotic factionalism and incompetence because, really, what Bush likes is feeling like he's being Historical and he doesn't care for the nuts and bolts of governing at all? Yeah, this is one of those times.
You know what's really boring? Affected, world-weary cynicism from post-collegiate hipsters. Didn't that go out in the 90s? (via TH)
Worldchanging is doing a book. And hiring. FYI.
There's nothing particularly new in it, but it's the front page of USA Today, so I feel obliged to link: "Debate brews: Has oil production peaked?" It's typical mainstream journalism, scrupulously "balanced" in that it gives both sides equal time and makes no effort to evaluate their respective credibility or the validity of their claims. But it's a complex topic, so I guess that's the best we can expect. I suspect the average reader will come away from the piece thinking, "Ho hum, another group of alarmists crying about another alleged apocalypse ... wonder what's on TV?" Which is another way of saying: Peak oil won't have bite until it hurts average people, directly and for a sustained period of time. Such is life.
We've devised the world's shortest survey to find out what kind of actions our readers are taking. You know you want to.

Ordered a bike on-line. Took 2 days for delivery which was great. Was very pleased with the bike. Had a running in issue which was dealt with in a quick and supportive manor! I was blown away with the customer service and would recommend Triton as a top notch shop, selling top notch gear with the expertise and customer service to back it up!

DSLR Video Shooter: Top 10 Video Gear Picks of 2014.
Xmas gift suggestion: Gordy's camera straps.
Great stuff, and you'll be supporting a fellow blogger.
Note: I'll start doing these occasionally, pointing to those who frequent this blog and have wares for sale.
Vimeo: Nils Frahm - Re (Official Music Video).
OneHeadlightInk: Batman V. Superman WRAPS in Taos, New Mexico.
FYI for fans. No Affleck or other 'star' sightings, that I've heard about.
The Luminous Landscape: Sony A7 MKII Hands On.
"No Virginia, there is no 4K video. My guess is that this is being reserved for the anticipated A9 model due some time in early 2015 – at least according to the rumour mill." That's going to put a damper on sales ... a 'better' A9 model?
Youtube: The Avengers Sing Christmas Carols.
Forget the beginning; go to 0:41.
Youtube: Random Acts of Pasta.
Some nice news, for once.
Vimeo: The Beast of Turin trailer.
Jeebus, the sound of that engine (about halfway). Via MeFi.
DSLR Video Shooter: The Best Cheap Video Camera Right Now.
Sony a5000. Like $298 with lens. I'm not recommending, just pointing out.
SciAm: Cities Want Cops to Wear Cameras, but Technology Could Heighten Distrust if Not Carefully Use
Some interesting 'con' arguments here.
EOS HD: Does Cinema EOS mark the end of high spec Canon DSLR video?
Art of VFX: GODZILLA - VFX Breakdown by MPC.
The blue fire is worth the view, IMHO.
Youtube: Antares rocket explosion from the launch pad.
My ears hurt, even with the sound turned down.
The Luminous Landscape: Samsung NX1 First Impressions.
One look at the specs, you'll go cross-eyed. Lack of lens options, however.
WSJ: Drone Flights Face FAA Hit.
Paywall blocks reading it for me, but some of you may have access. Sounds like the FAA is going restrictive, as I expected.
The Verge: Adobe's got Photoshop running in Chrome.
Youtube: Buddy Guy & Jimi Hendrix - Jam Session.
the interpreter: ISIS beheadings are a grotesque media strategy
"None of these actions are designed to dissuade Western military intervention in Iraq or Syria, or even to goad the West into becoming decisively committed on the ground, because ISIS understands this is unlikely to occur. Rather, it has a much more short-term aim: to get ISIS's military and political setbacks out of the media cycle and replace them with bloody imagery that demonstrates ISIS is still a force." It is very unsettling to see social media and personal branding strategies used for these purposes.
Youtube: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy gag reel - Dance Off.
BBC: Topless sunbather photographed by estate agent drone.
"Mandy Lingard, who was sunbathing in her back garden wearing just a thong, said she realised only when she saw an advertising board near her home." Would turn into a liability or harrassment suit in the US. Wait for it.
Youtube: These Datsun 240Zs Are Animals to Drive.
*Sniff*. I miss my old 240Z.
Mashable: New York advice from people who are not Taylor Swift.
I do so miss the wonderful variety of NY accents.
EOSHD: Apple kill third party SSD support in Yosemite.
"The problem is down to Apple having introduced a new 'security feature' in Yosemite. Only kext drivers for official Apple SSDs are supported. Built in drives that Apple themselves use in your Macbook Pro Retina and some iMacs will upgrade just fine to Yosemite but if you have installed a third party SSD or more commonly are running off an external one, you're out of luck." Beware, beware.
Vimeo: Kanban - isn't it just common sense?
Wonderful stuff within.
Guardian.UK: Drones spotted over seven French nuclear sites, says EDF.
Don't give terrorists any bright ideas, please.

A previous boyfriend had a brother who lived in Tofino, B.C. He had a cool dog, thinking his dog Chester (?)who went with him to work, went to the beach. I still remember that. I think there was some company or advertising agent who even took a photo of Ron, his dog, and his surfboard. :-)I as well like the Amazing Race but I am very behind with watching the PVR'd episodes.

I want to set (manually) the skinState (for example 'disabled') of a button (that I skinned) in ActionScript.
For example: I have a button skin with hostComponent: components.backend.btnMenuBakComp The button skin has the default button states (up, over, down, ...), but I want to set one of this skinStates in ActionScript.
For example:
subMenu.btnDashboard.currentState = "disabled";
This doesn't work because the state "disabled" is not known in the component (it is only known in the skinState of btnDashboard).
How can I fix this? Is there another solution then load a new skinClass?

The first several tips involve the interaction of a family with children who do not have special needs. Sometimes, by trying to correct what we perceive is problem behavior, we end up making the situation less comfortable for both kids.
Staring is one of the first issues. What's painful to hear is, "Don't stare," when a well-meaning parent is trying to teach their child to be polite. What they don't realize is that my daughter, Mikayla, stares right back — it's normal for kids to "size" each other up. They are curious, not malicious.
However, it is helpful to teach your children, that if they are going to approach a kid with special needs, they need to be careful. Being nearly blind, Mikayla often can't see someone just past a field of 6 feet. If they rush into the inner circle of her vision, she can be startled. She might even take a swat at them to keep them at bay; then everyone is a mess.
Some parents of special needs kids are very sensitive. They are angered or hurt when someone describes their child in terms of an outdated label. "Disabled", for instance. I am sure there is at least one incident in every child's life where someone called him something he found hurtful. As parents, we know that names, very often, can hurt you.
As it is for all people, labels are definers that give status, or lack of status, in society. These definers make impressions on the person to whom the label refers. Also, for people who are handicapped, it can lead to them to not thinking outside of the box of their physical limitations. Miracles can come — when people forget they have any labels at all.
Hardest of all for me to hear is, "What's wrong with her?" If we can start thinking of this population as not being broken, we would see their status rise. It implies a defect, something that needs to be fixed. "Nothing," as a precursor to anything you say that follows, is much easier to swallow than letting the question just hang.
Pointing out things special needs can do is a day brightener! And blessed be the moms who point out similarities between their child and Mikayla. "Wow, look, she has a Dora backpack just like you," is a nice little uplift.
Up to a certain age, it is perfectly normal to talk about a 2-year-old to an old friend you see in the mall as if the 2-year-old weren't there. Whether your child has special needs or not. For example, "Oh, she was such a good little girl at your party last week, wasn't she? However, some adults forget Mikayla is in the room, even though she is now 5. Like most kids, she can hear and understand what you are saying.
There is an odd general perception that kids with special needs and their parents don't like to receive any help. It is assumed that they don't want any help. And more, that they shouldn't get it because it is counter-intuitive to having them become as independent as possible. But everyone needs help now and then. I struggle with a cart and a wheelchair, for instance. I love it when people ask if they might help me to the car. Mikayla will gently tell you, "No, I got it." Please just ask.
And please don't forget the siblings. My son, now 12, often feels left out if no one acknowledges his presence. It's a fact of life that special needs kids often get the lion's share of the attention in a family with a challenged sib. Even just a simple greeting can make my older son's day.
Remember, none of these tips is going to be used correctly without a parent who sets appropriate behavior markers for their children. And give yourself a good dose of kindness. Most parents of "normal" children find themselves feeling awkward, almost floating in an unfamiliar sea. When something small is blurted out, and you kick yourself for saying it, I know that it didn't come from malice, but from concern. All efforts are appreciated.
Understand that just being human, we sometimes stumble; we might say the "wrong" thing, might offend or even hurt. So, we'd rather not say anything at all. And so the silence overtakes us. Or it becomes the hurried "hello", followed as closely as a single breath to . . . a "goodbye". As parents of these challenged kids, we hope for your lingering. For if you stay, just a little, you will glimpse the joy behind the hardship, and we will have met a new friend.

Is this 'Alaskan Seas'?
I got eight large rhizomes of this from my neighbor this August for dividing the clump it was in. I have tenatively identified it as "Alaskan Seas" and would like everyone's opinion. Since I just got it, I do not have height or bloom size. The date in the picture gives its bloom date. The clump was about 3 feet x 3 feet and produced about 40 rhizomes. It was in place when I moved to PA in 2005. My neighbor moved in in 2007, so she does not know anything about it.
I can add a couple more pictures if needed, but they are about the same as this one. Thanks.
It sure is a beauty, but from reading the description on line, it does not seem to be it.
The German Iris 'Alaskan Seas', Iris germanica, has icy blue standards with deep sea blue falls.
Here is a link that might be useful: Alaskan Seas at Schreiners
Sue, Thanks VERY much for all of your help with the picture uploading thingy.
Any suggestions then?
I thought it to be Alaskan Seas based on the picture at "Stoney Creek"
Here is a link that might be useful: Stoney Creek
Here's a few more pics of Alaskan Seas.
Sierra Grande lightens at the edges. Link below. It is a Schreiners intro 1992 and won an Award of Merit 1998. Your picture reminds me of it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sierra Grande at davesgarden
It is really hard to tell. To bad there isn't a genetic lab that we can send a piece of our noids to for a small fee and have them tell us for sure. They could have a data base of named iris to compare it to. This should work since all of the off spring come from the same plant right.
I suggest posting over at Dave's Garden on the Iris forum. They have an excellent group of iris maniancs over there. Including some members who own the companies we buy from. They just helped me with an id in no time flat.
Also, Daves Garden has a section called plant files that you could search through all the pics of. My guess is it is a Tall Bearded Iris than just find the variety.

It's been a minute! We've just started a new heartbeat, and now we have a giant team working on the Teach site. Our stand-up today looked like The Brady Bunch.
We're now entering a stage where we have three strands of work running in parallel:
- Engineers are setting up the technical framework for the new site, and are beginning to build out the pages that have been designed
- Designers are polishing up the work they've done so far (accommodating some last minute requests from me!), and starting on a few new pages and workflows
- Members of the Learning Networks team are finalizing copy and content for the various pages
If every strand can keep moving, we'll be in good shape for the release at the end of the next heartbeat. Ideally, we'll get into a rhythm where copy is finalized in the heartbeat *before* the design work, which is done in the heartbeat *before* development, but right now things are overlapping a bit.
Iterative Dev {It's been so long since I've done an anagram! Here we go: Tea Revived It}
I've been thinking about how to build out this site in a way that reflects the evolving nature of the Learning Networks team work, and specifically the Clubs program. The answer is (always) to be agile.
It's often difficult to agree on what should be included in a v1. I think the term "MVP" is one of the most abused terms in software. It is sometimes used to mean "do as little work as possible," but the definition I like best is, "do as much as is needed to prove or disprove a hypothesis."
This definition provides a great framework for determining what to include in a v1. If you can agree on a hypothesis, then every decision can be made by answering the question, "Do we need this to prove the hypothesis?"
For the Teach site, the hypothesis we're testing is: "People will use the site to find teaching activities and add their Clubs to the map."
So the v1 will seek to prove that. The priority items are a couple static pages that point to our high-quality curriculum modules, a Clubs page with an "Add Your Club" workflow, and some additional static content to flesh out the site.
Beyond Version One {Anagram: Sobered Onion Envy}
While v1 is being created, we also need to start gearing up for the next iteration, which will be focused on building out more advanced tooling for the curriculum (so that we can add to those pages without developer involvement, and incorporate feedback and remix ideas from the community). This is essentially adding a fourth strand to the list above—a kind of "requirements gathering and brainstorming" strand.
(Side note: I like that the "build, measure, learn" cycle we'll use to iterate on the site echoes the process we're using to develop the curriculum with our community. Agile methods all around!)
Of course, even while using iterative development practices, we still need to keep the big picture in mind. To see the current thinking about future iterations, you can always check out the roadmap. I'm updating it regularly as our needs change, or as they become clearer to me.

The victory kept Montana's FCS playoff hopes alive, as they improved to 7-2 overall and 4-2 in the Big Sky Conference. Sacramento State is now 4-5/3-2.
The win also gave Montana its 27th winning season in the past 28 years.
It was a back-and-forth contest which featured six ties, and the sixth deadlock came with 23 seconds to go on a 5-yard pass from the Hornets' elusive quarterback Garrett Safron, to tight end Cole Hikutini, which knotted the score at 45-all.
The Griz won the coin toss prior to the overtime, and elected to start on defense, and the "D" held the Hornets to a 25-yard field goal by Brad Cornish, giving the home team a 48-45 edge in the OT.
Then it was time for the Johnson-to-Henderson game winner, which came on the first play of overtime for the Grizzlies. Henderson faked a move inside, and then broke wide open to the right side of the end zone for the game-winner.
It was the second time in the last three weeks the Griz have played an overtime contest The last OT was on Oct. 19, and in that one, Johnson hit Henderson for a 23-yard TD on the second play of the overtime, and Montana defeated Cal Poly 21-14. Montana is now 8-3 in overtime games.
Canada's fourth scoring run, which tied the school record for touchdown runs in a game, was a 1-yarder on a 4th-and-goal, which gave Montana a 45-38 lead with 3:38 left to play. The Hornets put together a 10-play, 77-yard drive after Canada had given the Griz their second lead of the game, when Safron threw a 5-yard TD pass to Hikutini in the closing seconds of regulation, forcing the OT.
The teams combined for 56 second-half points, the Griz out-scoring the Hornets 21-7 in the third quarter, and then the Hornets doing the same thing to UM in the final stanza with a 21-7 scoring run. Safron's fourth scoring pass of the game tied the score up at 45-45 to force the overtime.
The teams traded points in the first half, which was tied three times (3-3, 10-10, 17-17), and Safron's first scoring pass to Hikutini , also a 5-yarder, dead-locked the game up at 17-17 with 18 second left until intermission, which is how the first half ended.
Canada, who now has 12 TD runs this season, rushed 17 times for 78 yards, and had touchdown runs of 1, 1, 33, and 1 yards. Johnson was 19-of-38-0 for a career-high 381 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Sophomore wide receiver Jamaal Jones had 7 catches for a career-best 143 yards and had a 54-yard touchdown catch - the first TD grab of his career. Henderson had 5 catches for a career-high 180 yards. Henderson also had 177 punt and kickoff return yards, and finished with 357 all-purpose yards.
Montana's defense forced four fumbles and recovered three of them, which led to 17 Griz points. Senior linebacker John Kanongata'a had a game-high 15 tackles and 1.5 TFLs. Junior free safety Matt Hermanson had 14 stops, 2 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. Cornerback Nate Harris added a career-high 11 tackles, while linebacker Brock Coyle had 10 stops and 2 forced fumbles.
Safron had 505 total yards, with 412 passing and a game-high 93 rushing, and had two scoring runs. DeAndre Carter led Sac with 12 receptions for 165 yards, while Morris Norrise added 10 for 100. Linebacker Todd Davis led the Hornets with 11 tackles.
Montana plays at South Dakota for a non-league game next Saturday, Nov. 9. The Hornets are at Cal Poly next Saturday for a conference game.

Of Cats and Menby Nina De Gramont
The Nature of the Beast
I found the magazines one weekend when Jack was winter camping. I'd been looking for the letter he'd just received from Stella, his ex-girlfriend, which we'd both agreed I shouldn't read. Prior to me, Stella had been the undisputed love of Jack's life, the topic of pages and pages of his most passionate prose. Though married now and living back east, Stella had no compunction about writing long and lovelorn letters to my fiancé. The fact that she'd been equally faithless when she was Jack's girlfriend did give me a little comfort. I soothed myself by recalling tales of her many blatant infidelities, and contrasting them to my own example of unwavering devotion. Still, I'd hoped that our engagement — several months old by now — might curb Stella's correspondence. I liked to think of myself as tolerant, confident, and progressive. Stella's boundary-crossing made me feel just the opposite: narrow-minded, jealous, and insecure.
A month earlier, Stella had called Jack in tears. His first collection of short stories had just hit the bookstores, and she was dismayed that her name did not appear in the acknowledgments. Sitting just a few feet away from Jack as he reasoned with Stella — within earshot of her inappropriately tearful voice — I decided to ignore the issue altogether. This was an important time in Jack's life: his first book, the beginning of his career after years of hard work. I did not want to dampen his happiness. And I could even, to some degree, understand how Stella felt — watching Jack achieve his goals long after her exit from his life. Jack's romantic dedication ("to Eve, my only Muse") clearly marked me as the winner. While she whined about the acknowledgments, I reminded myself that I, not Stella, sat beside Jack now — sharing his good fortune, his home, his two cats. His future.
Still. It was hard not to be curious. "Why bother?" Jack said, when I asked if I could read Stella's latest letter. "It doesn't mean anything to me, and it's just going to make you angry." I agreed, recognizing Jack's words as rational and mature. When his friend Tony arrived Friday morning to pick Jack up, I bid him good-bye with the purest intentions. I watched them drive away, then headed to work — Stella's letter the furthest thing from my mind.
That day turned out to be particularly grueling. At my desk in the district attorney's office, I spent the afternoon trying to convince a well-dressed, well-spoken woman, who asked to be called Mrs. Lloyd, not to return home with Mr. Lloyd — who'd just been released on bail after blackening both her eyes. If I had ever suspected that spousal abuse was limited to the lower income brackets, its victims uneducated, this job had taught me otherwise. Four years before I'd taken the position as a victim's advocate, considering it a possible segue to law school. At the time I hadn't imagined any crimes were actually committed in our picturesque university town. Every window in the Pearl DA's office framed a view of the Rocky Mountains, making the utilitarian building seem more like a resort hotel.
But while Pearl lacked its share of murders and back-alley stabbings, it had no dearth of domestic violence, and thanks to the college, there were plenty of acquaintance rapes. My job provided ample stimulation and frustration — as much if not more than a career in law, without the accompanying debt and pressure.
Now, in response to my gentle but persistent prodding, Mrs. Lloyd took the safe house address, her silk blouse rustling as she reached, but said no thank you to a ride. "My car's right outside," she explained, smiling through swollen lips. She promised to drive directly to the shelter. With Amy, the other victim's advocate, I watched through the window as Mrs. Lloyd met her husband in the parking lot. Standing against a backdrop of blue skies and mountains, the couple embraced.
Then she handed him the keys to her BMW.
"Eve," Amy said. "I think we need a martini."
That night, when I crawled into bed, my brain slightly fuzzy with gin, I remembered Stella's letter. But the sheets smelled comfortingly of Jack: that good mix of sandalwood soap, cotton bond paper, and worn flannel. And finding me alone in bed, the cats had curled up companionably. More than a year after I'd moved in they had barely accepted me as their own, but were always very affectionate in Jack's absence. Beatrix slept politely at my feet, while the more brazen Pip took Jack's place, cuddled against my chest with his head on Jack's pillow. I smiled. Who cares about Stella, I thought. I fell asleep slowly, able to enjoy the vague loneliness, knowing that Jack would be home soon.
* * *
Saturday unfolded more gently. In the morning I met a friend at the autumn farmer's market and went for a long run by Pearl Creek in the afternoon. Weaving around the cheerful crowds on the bike path — college students, strollers, everyone looking healthy and happy — renewed my faith in the town's wholesomeness. At home, I refused to be upset by the message from Stella on our answering machine — her second call in just over a week.
At dinnertime I picked up videos and take-out Chinese, and never entertained a thought of disturbing Jack's study. I'd already erased Stella's message, deciding not to mention it. That, I thought, should be duplicity enough. I concentrated on remembering my place in Jack's heart, my permanence in his life. Long-gone Stella, I reminded myself, was not a threat.
But by Sunday morning the temptation and opportunity became too much to bear. I knew Jack would keep the letter — he kept everything of an emotional nature, not necessarily out of sentimentality, but for possible use in his writing. I got out of bed, brushed my teeth, and still wearing pajamas, let myself into Jack's study.
The first thing I found, as I crawled under Jack's desk on my hands and knees, was an enormous dead magpie — its wings spread and its neck broken. The bird undoubtedly had been murdered by Pip. Jack's cats each had a hunting style as signature as a serial killer's. Fat, long-haired Beatrix was meticulous and persnickety. Spare, rangy Pip was savage and hedonistic. I could always tell when Beatrix had killed a cricket because its left leg would be missing, while Pip's crickets turned up half-eaten with their little heads crushed. Unlike Beatrix, who preyed almost exclusively on insects and small rodents, Pip's trophies ran the gamut, including other unfortunates as startlingly large as this magpie — ravens, pigeons, even an occasional rabbit. If Pip meant to make a gift for Jack, the animal would be left — pristine as a stuffed teddy bear — on the floor at the end of our bed. Usually he presented Jack with his larger kills, and we often awoke to corvid or rabbit corpses proudly laid at our feet. Beatrix, on the other hand, would provide for Jack by leaving mice on the back doorstep. If she wanted the animal for herself, she would either eat the entire body, down to its tail, or roll her victim on its back and eviscerate it. To our later horror, we'd stumble upon the gleaming mouse guts on our lawn or living room rug, the tiny torso gaping as if a miniature cardiologist had wandered off in the middle of open-heart surgery. Pip never left mice for Jack, but always treated himself by eating their heads and immediately vomiting — leaving a doubly revolting mess.
I crawled backward, away from the dead bird, without considering cleaning it up. Though I usually rejected gender roles, disposing of corpses struck me as a man's job. Besides: Jack's cat, Jack's study. Clearly, the onus of the dead bird belonged to him.
I stood up and slid back the closet door. Though Jack claimed to be hyper-organized, the haphazard placement of boxes, shoes, sporting equipment, and piles of manuscripts suggested otherwise. The first half-open cardboard box I peered into contained his tuxedo, dusty and ringed with tufts of cat fur — a favorite napping spot for Beatrix.
Underneath it lay a more solid, heavier box which — below a few bank statements and university catalogues — contained a naked woman.
I sat back, vaguely surprised. At a glance, the woman in the photograph looked comical and unreal: gazing up at me with smug triumph, apparently disdainful of my baggy flannel sleepwear.
The letter from Stella still my foremost mission, I pushed the magazine aside. Beneath it lay another, and another, and another — an impressive and lovingly frayed collection. I couldn't help but smile, the way I might at stumbling across a little boy's stash of Snickers bars. Jack's penchant for pornography did not exactly come as a shock. One of the stories in his book, an anecdotal piece that had also appeared in Granta, hilariously detailed an attachment to commercial smut.
But while I knew he'd enjoyed this literature in the past, he'd led me to believe this indulgence was behind him. In fact, Jack often complimented me by claiming he hadn't "perused" a magazine in the two years we'd been together. What's more, Jack had promised that his collection had been tossed into the Dumpster just before I moved into this very house.
I sat back and let the cardboard flap drop shut, feeling suddenly dirty and ashamed of myself. Not only for breaking Jack's trust and rooting through his belongings, but for asking him to throw out the magazines in the first place. Who was I to police his primal inclinations? Couldn't a demand like the one I had made (subverting a relatively harmless fetish) be likened to a kind of psychic castration? Why be so controlling? So shrewish?
Poor Jack, I thought. I returned the bank statements and university catalogues to their pathetic attempt at camouflage, then carefully balanced the tuxedo box in its original position. The only magazine I'd seen — the one on top — had some vaguely exonerating data printed to the right of the sneering bimbo: February 1989. Obviously, the magazines in Jack's closet were long-ago favorites, no longer needed but still too precious to discard. What if I left him? What if I died? Surely, Jack was entitled to some sort of sexual security blanket.
I closed the door to his study tightly, resolved to develop a more generous heart, and a more open mind.

Adorable antique English oil painting of a terrier (Norwich, I believe) and 4 kittens with mother cat. Wonderful vivid colors and a charming subject. I love the expressions on all the animal's faces! The painting is signed R. Flint. The painting which is in excellent condition measures 15.5" wide by 12" high. Lovely antique frame measures 20" by 16". There is loss to the frame in the corners, but nothing unusual and detracting. It is getting harder and harder to find these old animal paintings and this one is a real find!

Dubai Chamber Orchestra
Dubai's longest running classical ensemble prepares for its 10th anniversary Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
As the emirate's longest-running classical ensemble, the Dubai Chamber Orchestra prepares to mark its tenth birthday with a celebratory concert. Rob Garratt hears their story, from conductor Barnaby Priest
In much of the world, an orchestra celebrating its tenth anniversary wouldn't be a big deal. Many countries can boast classical orchestras with a lineage dating back centuries and the news that a community-run ensemble is turning ten would be lucky to command a few lines in the local newspaper. But in Dubai, a place with little tradition of Western classical music and where the bulk of the expat population stays just a few years, the idea of an orchestra lasting a decade is rather more laudable.
When the Dubai Chamber Orchestra took to the stage for the first time, at The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management in March 2003, there was no other formal classical performance ensemble in the UAE, according to musical director Barnaby Priest. And when the same orchestra assembles to perform an anniversary programme at the Saudi German Hospital Conference Centre on Thursday June 13, it's safe to say the group has outlived any other local ensemble.
Over the past decade the amateur Dubai Chamber Orchestra has consistently performed around three concerts a year, offering both UAE musicians a chance to formally practice and perform, and delivering recitals to an audience otherwise starved of, or unfamiliar with, the canon of Western classical music. It has been guided by two simple principles; musicians are not paid, and performances are free.
The orchestra was founded in 2002 by Linda Brentano and Philip Cree, who served as conductor until 2006, when Benjamin Druffel took over the role.
When Barnaby joined the string section in 2005 there were more than 30 players, a figure that had plummeted to just 16 when he took up the baton four years later. Today the orchestra is at its strongest yet, with around 40 steady players. 'Because of the very nature of Dubai, people come and go,' says Barnaby, a 58-year-old Brit. 'There have been a number of other orchestras, but for some reason or other they've all fallen by the wayside. We've been consistent in our performances because these are concerts people want to perform and people want to hear.'
Today the musicians that converge at Safa Private School for weekly rehearsals are a welcome reminder of the range of Dubai's cosmopolitan communities. 'When we started out it was a [predominantly European and Northern American] endeavour,' says Barnaby, before listing the nationalities currently enrolled – 'Syrian, Pakistani, Russian, Korean, American, Lebanese, Belgian, Japanese, Emirati...' We stop him when he reaches 17.
'It's a microcosm of Dubai society,' he adds with pride.'
The orchestra's achievements will be formally marked with next week's tribute concert, which features a typically diverse programme, including Shostakovich's dramatic Chamber Symphony Op 110a, the romantic overture to Rossini's La Scala di Seta, a 20th century folk song from Australian pianist Percy Grainger's Molly on the Shore and even a new arrangement of a work by Barnaby – who composes alongside his day job as an administrator at Zayed University – called Needs Must.
Over the past decade the Dubai Chamber Orchestra has done an immeasurable amount for classical music in the region, and there's every hope the ensemble will host a similar celebration ten years from now.
'We haven't got a huge mission statement to be the best orchestra in the Middle East,' says Barnaby, 'We're a community orchestra that serves the community in which it exists. As long as people who love music continue to come together, it will continue to exist.'
The Dubai Chamber Orchestra perform at the Saudi German Hospital Conference Centre, Al Barsha, on Thursday June 13 at 8pm. Follow the orchestra on Twitter at @DXBChamberOrch

The apartment building is decorated gorgeously. There is even a beautiful common area downstairs with a coffee machine, TV's, computers and more. The management team, who seem to be really nice, sell it as an amenity. It is, if you're willing to put down a $1000 deposit AND pay $700 to rent it. I know they are juat doing what the owner tells them to do, but its ridiculous. The concept of a deposit is obviously not properly uderstood here. The guidelines on when you are required to rent it are so fuzzy I don't think the owner even knows what the hell he means. He has added some pretty awful monetary requirements (like reserved parking spots) since opening the building. He himself makes living there not worth it. The staff are really pleasant and helpful though. I wouldn't say the price of admission is worth it.

text: This website contains tutorials on several topics in mathematics and numerical analysis as well as a number of other papers on various subjects. The tutorials cover harmonic analysis, numerical linear algebra, digital signal encoding, symmetry reductions and the modeling of Sonar transducers and arrays. There are also a number of papers on acoustics, particularly the acoustic radiation and scattering from arbitrary shaped bodies and the acoustic interaction of Sonar transducers in an array. In a slightly different vein you will find a collection of papers related to science and the Christian Faith. Several of these papers describe famous encounters involving science and Faith such as the Galileo affair, the Scopes Trial, and the Huxley-Wilberforce debate. Another paper looks at various views of the creation days in the first chapter of Genesis. The collection also contains brief biographies of Leonhard Euler and James Clerk Maxwell which include their scientific achievements as well as evidences of their Christian Faith. There is also a paper on the injustices involved in the arrest and trial of Jesus. Nowadays I do most of my reading on a Kindle and as a result I became interested in how eBooks are formatted. I have written a tutorial on how to format an eBook for Kindle and EPUB devices using HTML, CSS, and the Kindlegen program. I hope these papers will be of interest to you and will prove to be useful.

. In practice due to entailed memory limitations the most important problem in model checking is state space explosion. Therefore, to prove the correctness of a given design binary decision diagrams #BDDs# are widely used as a concise and symbolic state space representation. Nevertheless, BDDs are not able to avoid an exponential blow-up in general. If we restrict ourselves to #nd an error of a design which violates a safety property,inmany cases a complete state space exploration is not necessary and the introduction of a heuristic to guide the search can help to keep both the explored part and the associated BDD representation smaller than with the classical approach. In this paper we will show that this idea can be extended with an automatically generated heuristic and that it is applicable to a large class of designs. Since the proposed algorithm can be expressed in terms of BDDs it is even possible to use an existent model checker without any internal changes. 1

Repairing galvanized stock tank, lefd05, anyone?
I have an oval galvanized stock tank that dh stored pool chemicals in one winter. Now it has a big rusty ring in the bottom. I filled it this spring & put lilies in it, but the water is rust colored. I need to fix it before the bottom rusts out. Any suggestions?
I was going to get some rustoleum spray paint & dh told me that wouldn't work.
You will need to sand it down and clean it real good. You can either paint it with a vinyl paint or have it sprayed with spray on bed liner or pond liner. Wal-Mart here has a roll-on bed liner. It's $100.00/gallon. I plan to use it on my 6'diameter galvanised stock tank.
Happy ponding,
marti8a, about 4 or 5 years ago, my 10 ft wide stock tank started leaking. I drained it and found out that there were about a dozen small holes in the bottom.
So I let it dry well and then put some small round sheet metal pieces (used for roofing) over the holes. First I put some of the tar down and then the metal pieces on it. Then I tared over top of that. I put tar all over the bottom since it was rusted fairly well.
The tar that I used was Submarine Cooler Coating for evaporative coolers that I bought at Walmart, for $4 per quart.
It hasn't leaked since I did this. One concern I had was if it would hurt the fish or the waterlilies? It didn't seem to affect either of them.
So you might consider using that tar to cover the rust? It works best if you use a paint brush and wait for warm weather so it will go on smoothly.
Also wear some old clothes that you can throw away in case you get any on you.
marti8a, I let the tar set for 3 days then I filled the stock tank. Then I treated the water for chlorine.
Since I wasn't sure if it was safe, I bought some feeder goldfish and put them in there.
They did fine so after a couple of weeks, I put some of my regular fish in there and added the waterlilies.
You are right. That tar might be hard to find in humid areas.
My DH takes a wire brush and cleans the rust out of the tanks. He solders any pin holes then he washes the tank off and lets it dry well. If he thinks it needs it he runs a thick bead of clear silicone around the bottom inside seam and lets it dry for at least 2 or 3 days. DH buys spray cans of automotive undercoating at the parts store. He sprays the outside bottom of the tank and sometimes if the tank is really bad, we spray the inside bottom with it as well. If the tank isn't too bad I've used Krylon spray primer on the inside of the tanks to help protect from rust.
I've kept water lilies and goldfish in old tanks done this way and had no problems. So far, a couple of my tanks are going on their 3rd year and still holding.
marti8a, one of my large stock tanks is about 20 years old and is still okay, except for some tar patches. The other large one is about 14 years old. Then I have a newer one that is only about 4 years old.
Out on ranches, these stock tanks last for 50 years or more. Of course they are sitting on the ground instead of being buried which is probably better for the tank.
It sounds like your DH and you have a good system going for repair work.
I wanted another stock tank to put lilies in with no pump or filtration. Hubby had one at the farm that was beyond repair. The bottom was loose about 1/4 way around and it had some holes in the bottom about as big as a pop can. I lined it with old carpet and used a $15 kiddie pool for a liner. So far it is doing great. I'm not even loosing any water to evaporation. I didn't want to use a kiddie pool alone because there are dogs that run free in our neighborhood and I was afraid they would destroy it. The liner fit my 8' tank perfectly, but just not all the way to the top.

How to play Pet Grooming Studio
Click and hold the mouse to use the sponge, shower head, towel, blowdryer, brush and toothrush and then move the mouse quickly back and forth over the pet. Click above each claw to use the claw clippers. In Free Mode, you can also accessorise your pet and take pictures of him when he is fully groomed!
Even pets like to feel nice and clean. But they can't hold a sponge or toothbrush, so they need your help!
