We stopped here for a quick lunch. The food was delicious. The server was so nice - very personable and friendly. Great place to grab a quick bite of freshly made sandwiches, wraps.
Went here today with the family and had a great time. Great bagel sandwiches and coffee. Grand ambiance and service
Profanity-laced grunge background music ruined my experience.
Angry electric guitars. Vocals that snarled and screamed. Sometimes with profanity...swearing that is not printable here. Reminded me of a bad tavern. Is this the background music cafe patrons want to hear?
No. People go to a cafe to relax, or converse with friends, or read their latest book (or textbook). They want...
this will always be my favorite cafe. the coffee is delicious, they use fair trade coffee, and they have such a unique menu to choose from. I use to come here with my friend almost every morning to have coffee and a bagel. the bread is always fresh and brought in from Ithaca bakery everyday. there are many unusual sandwich...
Great bagels, yummy sandwich combos, friendly service, unusual varieties of salads, cream cheeses and bagels.
I've stopped in here numerous times and have never been disappointed. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, great sandwiches and unique homemade soups. Definatly a place to stop in for a coffee, sandwich or to satisfy a craving for sweets!
We loved this cafe when we stopped here for a lunch break on our return trip from New York to Maryland. After reading its reviews on tripadvisor, we programmed our GPS to take us to Nezuntoz (Knees and Toes) from the highway. It's next to a drug store and across from a large health care building so I wasn't sure...
Everything here is delicious and made with fresh ingredients, including somelocal and fair trade products.
Coffee is awesome. Love the iced coffee with a shot of sugar free hazelnut syrup and a splash of skim.
Some of the prices are slightly higher than an average diner, but
the quality of the food is so much better.
I suggest splitting a...
I noticed that Nezuntoz only has two reviews, which i figured had something to do with its somewhat low ranking in the Binghamton restaurant scene. I mean, come on, it's underneath Denny's? I've never not wanted to throw up after eating at a Denny's. Nezuntoz is fantastic. Fair trade coffee, fresh ingredients, delicious espresso drinks, tons of options and really...
This place is great for lunch. They have delicious sandwiches and other fare. Average Price bit the food is totally worth it! Usually you struggle to eat a whole sandwich. They are very vegetarian friendly, and have lots of exciting options (pesto, artichoke, avocado, etc.) stuff that I personally love. The workers are nice. I hear they have good coffee....

State Representative wants boot camp moratorium by Mitch E. Perry
A Florida lawmaker says he intends to file legislation to impose a moratorium on all the state's juvenile boot camps, after viewing a videotape of a limp 14-year old being struck by guards in such facility. Martin Anderson died shortly afterwards.
Tallahassee State Representative CurtisRichardson, said he wants the camps shut down until there are uniform standards for all of them. (roll tape#1 o.q.ââ¬?juvenile offendersââ¬?) The Tallahassee Democrat newspaper reported that Richardson also seeks to lift the state sovereign immunity cap, in case a suit is filed. The cap limits suits to the state to $200,000. Representative Richardson says thatââ¬â¢s not quite right (roll tape#2 o.q.ââ¬?in this caseââ¬?)
The Anderson death has remained shrouded in controversy. Late last week, the medical examiner who underwent an autopsy of Martin Anderson, - Dr. Charles Siebert, the medical examiner of Bay County, said Anderson died of a blood disorder, not a beating by guards at the juvenile boot camp.
That angered the mother of Anderson and others who have observed the videotape of Anderson being beaten. Then on Monday, previous mistakes made by Siebert were brought to light by 57 year old Frances Terry, who said that Siebert made several errors about her daughter and her husband after they were killed from injuries suffered from Hurricane Jeanne in September of 2004. Terry said that her concerns went unanswered for over a yearââ¬Â¦ Again, Tallahassee Democratic State Representative Curtis Richardson (roll tape#3 o.q.ââ¬?any capacityââ¬?)
Dr. Seibert has not responded to the latest charges by the Terry family made public.comments powered by Disqus

Since this was recently posted i'll update you on a little information:
This episode USED to be XBLA only, but now you can acquire 'Doom 3: BFG Edition' which comes with Doom 1 + 2 with Doom 2 including this extra map set. It can found in an episodic page like you would see the Doom 1 episodes in the new game options. (It doesn't include Final Doom however)
Something else to bear in mind it might be a nice pickup if you also enjoy the doom 3 side of things as it comes with Doom 3 and its expansion as well as some 'lost missions' which I have yet to play.

It's Your Opinion Steels but I don't see how you come up with 157 runs will make the team only 81-81......I think this team will be better then 81-81 and I don't think they will have to score 157 more runs to do it......
LOL, I didnt mean it literally...but for the short time Ive been here Ive seen some interesting comments to say the least. Like showing all of Adam Dunns homeruns were not solo because people get on Dunn for that, and I merely pointed out his flaw is his strikeout totals and his homeruns are fine. I got interesting reponses to that.Quote:

Oh yeah, and I forgot when I mentioned the Padres were interested in Dunn a couple of years ago in exchange for Oliver Perez, people here had heart attacks. There would be your 200+ K pitcher with a 3 or below ERA, easily could be the Red's ace. And if the Padres threw in Jason Bay(roookie of the year2004) with it, there would be Dunn's replacement. I know its a thing of the past but I thought more people would like this idea.Quote:

I've done some research on that in the past, and what happened in Anaheim in 2002 is truly historical.
But alas, where the Angels needed a swing of only 39 Runs to get to the .500 mark, the Reds need 157. To get to the playoffs? Well, let's just say that betting on a second lightning strike is generally a bad wager.
My sentiments exactly. It took them awhile to bang some sense into my head, but I'm still learning.Quote:

My takes on the various moves:
Wilson - Shouldn't have been re-signed. Has done all he can to be a below average pitcher the past four years and could be on the verge of a slide (there's some strong evidence for that in fact).
Ortiz - Never was that good a pitcher and already has hit his slide. Best case scenario, IMO, is he pitches like Cory Lidle last season -- lots of innings, lots of runs.
Bullpen - Historically the Reds have collected younger power arms for bullpen duty. DanO clearly prefers older control pitchers, or at least that's what he's brought in. Mercker doesn't throw a lot of innings. We'll have to see if Weber's healthy. Glom's the key acquisition. Looks like a mediocre unit unless kids like Ryan Wagner and Todd Coffey step up and have big seasons.
Randa - Glove helps, bat hurts.
Milton - The Reds are paying him like he's something a whole lot better than what he is. I was hoping other clubs, the Yankees for instance, would be foolish enough to throw gobs of money at this guy. In fact, back in October I figured he'd make a pretty good desperation yardstick, that he was one of the offseason's booby prizes, that you could assume any team that signed him had more cash than brains. Not going to change that opinion just because the Reds wound up being the team that landed him.
Doesn't look like it adds up to very good team to me. Though I'm in a distinct minority on that.
I'm with you M2.

Ron had found the family living in Fayette County in 1840 and 1850, but Zelah was not mentioned in the 1855 Illinois State Census records. Ron questioned what happened to him. Had he moved on?
It's been a long time since residents of this area were offered any type of recycling program. If the participation in recent recycling drives are any indication, they are ready and willing to start recycling again.
In recent months, area residents have had the opportunity to turn in old electronic items and paper products, instead of throwing those items into the trash. Those drives have kept several tractor-trailer loads of old TVs, computers, cardboard boxes, newspapers and other pieces of what is normally considered to be garbage out of our landfills.
Last week, I wrote of my work to compile a list of War of 1812 veterans buried in Fayette County. Beginning with seven names, the list had grown to 11 by publication time.
After receiving her newspaper, Lucille Fisher telephoned to remind me of the War of 1812 veteran marker in the Pilcher Cemetery for Winslow Pilcher. Winslow served in Captain G. Smith's Company of the Virginia Militia.
This area dodged a major bullet last week when a Johnson County judge issued a preliminary injunction that prevented Gov. Pat Quinn from laying off more than 2,600 state employees – including about 125 at Vandalia Correctional Center.
The ruling sends the governor and the union representing the prison workers back to the bargaining table.
Hopefully, by buying some time, the two sides can begin moving down a path that will lead to real solutions that work for everyone involved.
Given the roller-coaster ride that those of us in the media have been on this past year, it's more appropriate than ever to pause and take a deep breath during National Newspaper Week.
And as we do, it's time to take stock of this always fascinating but sometimes maddening institution in which we toil.
It's down to crunch time.
One week from today, the state is scheduled to lay off 2,600 state workers, including 1,000 employees of the Illinois Department of Corrections. About 125 of those layoffs would be at Vandalia Correctional Center.
Last Tuesday evening, my friend Bill Wilson, president of the Hill's Fort Society, telephoned to remind me that I had promised him a list of War of 1812 veterans buried in Fayette County.
This sounded like something I would do, and the fact that Bill needed it for a talk on Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Society's "Living History Days" in Greenville, spurred me to begin my research right then and there.

In the poem Harlem by Langston Hughes can there be more than one figure of speech?
3 Answers | Add Yours
The poem is a series of similes that appeal to different senses (taste, touch, smell, visual, sound). Hughes expertly manipulates the reader via these metaphors. He posits a question in the first line and then offers six tentative answers in the form of five similes and one metaphor (the last line). However, because of the repetition, the reader could turn that metaphor into a simile on their own (Or does it explode . . . like a bomb?).
Each of these questions refers to, of course, racial equality. The first line of the poem is an allusion to Martin Luther King\'s \"I Have a Dream\" speech. Together these questions, phrases as similes, gives up a greater idea of the depth and seriousness of the problem of racial equality.
1 problem about it alluding to king his speach was after this was made
The two previous posters' comments are good. Allow me to point to an earlier post of mine that discusses the structure of Hughes' poem "Harlem" and to add that there are (depending on how you define the term) probably many more figures of speech in the poem, other than simile and metaphor; among these are alliteration and anaphora.

"You could say that the silver content in half dollars had increased, just like you could say that one of the whiskers in Senator William Stewart's beard was too long. Anyone who considered this additional .00169 of an ounce to be an increase might just have been a candidate for an accountant position at Ebenezer Scrooge & Company."
The necessity of the arrows aside, collectors today recognize their appearance as marking a desirable subtype. This elegant Select coin, lustrous beneath layers of rich blue, violet, and peach patina, is well-defined and gorgeous. A great combination of Old West charm and impressive condition.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Associate Advisor Steering Committee
If you live in a campus dorm, then you have the opportunity to work closely with a member of the Associate Advisor Steering Committee and other associate advisors outside of your advising group.
The Committee leads in providing an in-house support system and after hour academic resources for freshmen campus-wide. Members are associate advisors who act as liaisons with the UAAP, Graduate Resident Tutors (GRT) and Housemasters to help freshmen get the help they need in their residential communities.
Steering Committee Members
Below please find the list of Associate Advisor Steering Committee members for 2014-2015.
My name is Eann Tuan (email@example.com) and I am from Dallas, Texas. I was born and raised in Texas, so when I came to MIT and left all my friends who went to state schools down South, it was helpful to have an associate advisor to answer my questions about life at MIT. I'm a Course 6 Senior and this is my third year as an associate advisor. I have been a seminar and traditional advisor. This year I will be an advisor for the UAAP. I have swum for MIT the past two years and am involved in Greek Life here at MIT. In my spare time, I like to watch reruns of Friends, cook, and explore Boston.
I'm Nikki Neibloom (firstname.lastname@example.com), from Weston, FL. I am a Senior in Course 20, Biological Engineering, and I am minoring in Energy Studies. This is my third year being an associate advisor for Terrascope. I like being the person who freshmen know they can go to when they need help. I feel like I have been part of one of each type of organization here on campus and if not, I have met someone who can help me answer your questions. When I am not studying or working with the program, I am co-captain of the MIT Cheerleading squad, President of the Biological Engineering Undergraduate Board, and UROP in the Sinskey Lab.
East Campus
My name is Lorraine Wong (email@example.com) from San Jose, California, and I'm a sophomore studying Course 9, taking random 6-2 classes, and concentrating in Women's and Gender Studies. This year I'm advising with Professor Seth Lloyd in a Course 2 seminar on quantum computing! Most of my time on campus is spent hanging out on my hall (4E!), putting on different events with the student mental health group Active Minds, advocating for students' health during my first year on the UA Wellness Committee and as part of SMASH, or turning new cooking projects into lots of smoke.
I'm Max Tang (maxtang@edu) from Hong Kong. I'm a junior double majoring in course 9 and 20 and hopefully minoring in Economics. For my second year advising I will be working with Professor Craig Wilder in the History Department. I spend a good chunk of my time working on the MIT ambulance as part of MIT EMS and I also serve as their Class Officer. When not in uniform, I teach CPR around campus, am a brother of Phi Sigma Kappa, and like to try out different sports here and there when I find the time!
New House
My name is Sarah Wharton (firstname.lastname@example.com), and I'm from Sacramento, California. I'm a sophomore double majoring in Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Literature, and this is my first year as an associate advisor! A lot of my time is spent organizing food for my living group in New House and cooking for my friends. When I'm not in the kitchen or working on my latest art project, I'm usually reading. I love working with people and making everyone feel at home at MIT, so working with my fellow NH associate advisors is very rewarding.
I'm Kate Tatar (email@example.com) from Norwood, MA. I'm a junior in Mechanical Engineering (Course 2) This is my first year as an associate advisor, and I'm excited to help freshmen feel at home and succeed here at MIT. I love swing dancing, painting, biking around Boston, rock climbing, and cooking at pika (I've developed a new found love for brussel sprouts). I run an outreach program with SWE and am also involved in Greek Life. My goal as an associate advisor is to help my advisees find the academic balance that works for them and show them that they have a strong supportive community that they can turn to.
Senior House
My name is Ilana Porter and I grew up in New Jersey, but I always dreamed of going to MIT. When I got my acceptance letter, I was scared and excited. When it was time to choose my first semester classes, I was lucky to have an extremely helpful associate advisor who inspired me to become an AA myself. I loved working with Professor Staffilani last year. I also really enjoyed helping to put on the AA events in Senior House and getting to know amazing freshmen. I am involved in the student government of Senior House and am currently the Social Committee Chair and the i3 Chair. I also volunteer with the ClubChem Outreach Program. I am majoring in Chemistry and have a UROP in Course 5.
I'm Brianna Coston (email@example.com), a senior majoring in Course 4 (Architecture). I am from from San Diego, CA. I am going on my third year as an associate advisor for Terrascope, one of the freshman learning communities. I am currently employed on campus as a student worker in the Libraries and am very involved with my dorm government. As a resident of Simmons Hall, I head the GRT Selection Committee for the dorm that helps select the incoming Graduate Resident Tutors for the incoming years. After graduation this year, I hope to either pursue graduate education in sustainable design or find a job at a consulting firm focusing on energy efficiency in buildings.

Jennifer BlackKudzu Review
We spent over a month meeting with companies to replace our windows & siding. Duracraft far exceeded our expectations, not only during the installation, but well after when something very minor, a strap holding the downspout came off, occurred. Their customer service is second to none and I would highly recommend them
I had them quote a siding replacement job 2.5 years ago. (My home is about 1/3 siding and 2/3 brick.) At the time, they were one of the lower quotes. The siding crew did an excellent job making sure that all joints were properly caulked and prepped for paining. The paint job has held up well and looks almost as good as it did when completed

Martin ZimmKudzu Review
Attention to details matters. The guy that does the trim (aluminum flashing) around the windows and doors cannot be beat. A rep for another contractor came by my house and could not believe the quality of the work & how well it was finished out. They repaired one house after some storm damage, and you can't tell there was ever an issue
I was very happy with the job Duracraft did replacing the windows in my house. They are reasonable, reliable, and do quality work. I recommend them without reservation. I'm going to use them again to paint my house and replace rotten siding.

ACLU says ATF blocks whistleblower book on scandal
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration is blocking a federal law enforcement agent from publishing a book about the failed "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling sting operation because of concerns that the book would negatively affect morale, the American Civil Liberties Union said Monday.
The ACLU charged that the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is worried that the book proposed by an ATF agent would hurt relationships with other U.S. law enforcement agencies.
In a six-page letter to ATF Deputy Director Thomas Brandon, the ACLU said the bureau's decision to block the book proposed by Special Agent John Dodson was a violation of his First Amendment rights. The ACLU described Dodson as a whistle-blower.
According to the letter, the ATF denied Dodson's request to try to publish a book about his version of the Fast and Furious scandal because the bureau predicted it would have "a negative impact on morale in the Phoenix (Field Division) and would have a detrimental" impact on ATF relationships with the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The ATF didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
A federal law enforcement official said the government is still considering whether Dodson can publish his proposed book if he doesn't make any money. Federal law prohibits government employees from profiting on outside work related to their official duties while still employed by the government.
Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, decried the ATF's opposition to Dodson's book proposal.
"Three years later, the Justice Department is still trying to silence whistle-blower accounts of Operation Fast and Furious because they're embarrassing for the department," Issa, R-Calif., said in a statement.
The Washington Times first reported the ATF's decision Monday.
Dodson was an agent in the Phoenix field office, where Fast and Furious investigation was run, when he went to Congress with details about the sting operation in which the ATF allowed gun-runners to buy weapons in hopes of tracking them and disrupting Mexican gun smuggling rings. At least one of the guns was found at the scene of the 2010 shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in southern Arizona.
In the wake of the public revelations about Fast and Furious, many top bureau leaders were reassigned, forced out of the agency or retired, including then-Acting Director Kenneth Melson.
In a statement provided by the ACLU, Dodson defended his book.
"At the end of the day, we have a right to know and talk about what law enforcement agencies do in our name," Dodson said.

We asked for a room with two beda and got a room with 4 beds for the two of us. The room had no window to the outside. Only a smal window to the kitchen were everybody was smoking. I didn't like this at all. After our complaint nothing changed. They had no other room available. Due to lack of fresh air I didn't sleep well at all.

Two people walked in the room during the night claiming that me and my friend were sleeping in their beds. One was at 2 and the other at 4:30 in the morning. Either the hostel overbooked our room or people didnt go to the right place but it was scary having some one wake me up in the middle of the night and them telling me i was in their bed. Also our door was never locked during the night but i didnt see how to lock it from the inside. All in all it could have been better organized i think

Location of this hostel is terrible!!! It's situated on the busy road-intersection with pedestrian walks just under most of hostel's windows. All night long we were disturbed by cars and shouting people on the streets. Common area is very dirty. No soap and toilet paper in toilets. Staff is Okay but most of the time doing its own business. Kitchen is smelly because of smokers and dirty dishes.

Inspiration is a very diplomatic term there.
Based on inherent need, it's not surprising that many people have thought of this idea – but very few have turned the thought into action.
I'm interested in your Shellhouse project – the introduction of a simple radio transforms the space from a cringe-worthy attempt to turn the life of a homeless person into "art"; to making it a useable innovation.
In Australia we focus on trying to find regular accommodation and employment for people who have become homeless, rather than setting that as a long term goal and finding an interim to briefly better their life.
Is there a way you could corroborate ideas to create something amazing?
Random suggestion: Can you bind used plastic bags to the surface to create something more weather resilient?
Awesome work.

What operating system is this tip for?
I use XP and I don't think you need to do this here. If I put images into a folder, I can choose if I want to see them as thumbnails or tiles or even 'filmstrip'. Regardless of what folder I put them into.
Or is there some other reason for putting them in a 'special' My Pictures folder?

LJ reminded me that it existed today. Well more precisely, it sent me an email explaining how it was starting to fail to believe I still existed and if I wanted to keep this account, I'd better log in.

6:55PM - i can haz BOOK!!
I don't actually know how this happened, but I appear to be the first person checking in with Lisa having gotten a bit of mail today.
It's screwy. I never get mail this fast. I got the shipment notice on Friday. We don't even have mail on the weekend. Saturday pickup is all.
But today, I got home, and the phone rang as I opened the door, and it was Lisa saying hi. And I had this box waiting for me.
And it's the book. It's THE BOOK!!
Now I have to go wipe my eyes.

12:57AM - Strawed in, Weighed and Sourced Out
Since setting out as an independent contractor, I've been noticing a lot of personal growth. Emotional and spiritual growth, certainly, but the one that's got me concerned is the physical growth. My most recent travels seem to have expanded my horizons, starting at my diameter.
Fatboy 2.0So I'm outsourcing my personal fitness. To me. I'm going to pay myself to do my workouts. If I work out, I get a reward. If I continue to work out, I'll get more rewards.
The goal is to incent myself to keep going, without making it too discouraging if I take a break for a month for injury or travel or other reasons. The other goal is to make it okay to spend money on things that aren't completely functional, so I'm just going to take the existing amount I spend on books and movies and such and use that as my funding budget.
First, here are the goals that earn pay:
Weighing the Straw ModelThe Politically Correct term "Straw Model" evolved from "Straw Man" which dates back to a time when people would make human-shaped figures out of straw as training targets for weapons training. A straw man wasn't as good as a live opponent, but it was a great place to start. The Straw Model is conceptual, another creative tool for dealing with the unknown, a place to start.
I want to build a financial model for paying myself, but I don't know what the right answer is. So I just make up a model and pick some numbers and then test it a little to see how it works out.
My instinct is to emphasize sustain, so I'll put 50% into sustain and split the rest. Actually, I'll break it out a little more than that:
Table 1: Reward Model, Version 1
If I work out and log one day, I get 5% At the end of a week, that adds up to 25% Plus another 25% for doing a complete week. Though I start the program without the sustain bonus because it's the first week.
But wait. . If I miss one day's workout, I lose 23% of my week's incentives. And I lose 50% in sustain bonus. And I lose 50% in sustain the next week because this week wasn't complete. So one day's screw up costs me 123% of my whole week of "pay." So one day's lapse undoes over a week of a achievement.
That's a little harsh. so let me try a different balance.
Table 2: Reward Model, Version 2
And that's okay. This is still the straw model, and I'm adjusting the shape of it as I go. Right now there's a big hit for the first missed day, whereas a second missed day in the week would be only 10% more pain. So I continue refining.
This time, I think I need to put the emphasis on the daily work, and make the weekly bonuses smaller.
Table 2: Reward Model, Version 3
And now I have a model that I like. It turns out that my initial assumption, that the bonuses were key, was wrong. This revised model looks like it'll actually help motivate me to do my workout.
Handling the UnknownThe Straw Model is a very useful tool for dealing with a lack of knowledge. The key is to accept that you don't know and make guesses. As good a guess as you can make, but if you can't make a good guess, then make a bad one.

3:43PM - Some Moron Cooking
I thought it would be fun to post the pictures of chocolate goodness I had taken. I'm a photographer, and there is something just sensual about that chocolatey goodness. I didn't even think to post the recipe, because I was working from a book and I wasn't sure about how to do it. And more important, the book was in the kitchen and I was in the basement and walking seemed likely to be less comfortable than sitting and just posting more pictures.
So I hope that my dear friend jennawaterford will forgive me for being lazy and not think that I was being intentionally cruel.
The recipe for "Molten-center chocolate cupcakes" comes from Everyday Chocolate
Directions (makes 8 cupcakes): (As told by me)
The major discovery that I wish we'd been warned about is that this thing produces batter so thick it's almost dough. I thought we'd made a mistake when we added everything, and again when we saw how much my poor old egg-beater was whining about the work. We added a bit of milk which was unnecessary.
Also, between the all-purpose flour substitution and the semi-sweet, it was a very dryly chocolate taste. Good moist cupcake, but very not sweet. Loved it.
Friday, March 20, 2009
10:43AM - Sometimes you get the elevator
Sometimes you get the molten-chocolate-centered, chocolate cupcakes.
So I've got the cousins over for the tail end of their winter break from school. And after a brutal shopping session discovering that post massive propane explosion in the city's west end had resulted in the shut down down all the gas station propane filling stations, and the gas station attendant didn't know how his own tank exchange system works, and…
After a brutal grocery session, it was nice to break out into the kitchen and just cook. And it's still a remarkable experience to take "the plan" and slice it into a logistically sane set of tasks that I can pass around to various teens. You want a project management lesson, there it is. Skill levels, skill sets, experience, balancing so everybody gets to participate on something non-trivial and of course, getting the job done.
And they are reliably talented. As I let go of the task list, things got a lot less frenetic, and the kids worked magic. All I ended up having to do was work the grill. And we ended up with a dinner of steak, portobello mushrooms with red pepper, pan-fried tomatoes in garlic, baked sweet potato.
And a mouthwatering cupcake for desert.
How was your dinner?

7:27AM - The First Timesheet
So I was putting together a timesheet template and coming so soon after Christmas, there are still carols leaking out of my brain.
To the first timesheet, the client did say
"I don't remember approving those hours on thursday"
So I went to my desk and put the timesheets away
till I could find my meeting notes and reclaim my pay.
Timesheet, Timesheet.
Timesheet, Timesheet
If they would just sign it, things would be so neat.
I'm updating my invoice, to make Thursday look fine
Figure if I just change it, they might stop the whine.
Sure I'm out a few hours but if I draw a line
The next seat they get rid of will surely be mine.
Timesheet, Timesheet.
Timesheet, Timesheet
If I just get paid, won't this contract be sweet.
I think the changes are done, now to save revision 3
So the new version is done, just need a hardcopy
Wonder if this time, the client will hide from me
Cause if I can't get this signed I won't get my fee.
Timesheet, Timesheet.
Timesheet, Timesheet
If they would just sign it, things would be so neat.

1:26PM - Freelancing by Dummy
So after 10 long years, in the middle of the worst economy since the 1930s (or the 1690s, if you take the Bank of England's interest rates as your indicator), I've just resigned from my position as a consultant to become a freelance something-or-other.

12:29AM - Back from the dead again
Okay. This time we'll see if writing here sticks. I'm a little distracted, what with quitting my job today.
When I started travelling as a consultant, I very quickly started to find a need for a portable "blogging" solution. I had my laptop, sure, but 10 years ago, a laptop sucked that little battery dry almost before the drink service on the flight had come out.
After a few years, I had it down to a folding keyboard and my Palm PDA. The keyboard was great, folding to something only slightly larger than the Palm, and the two together could be up and running a text editor within seconds of the seatbelt light going off, and I got four or five hours before the batteries died.
The setup was beautiful in its compact simplicity. It fit on an airline tray table. I could share a table in a coffee shop. I could set up anywhere, and I'd write, back then.
Now I go out, and when there's time to kill on an errand, I have note cards, but they're slow and analog. Give me a keyboard where I can spill out my words at the speed of my thought.
I sat at the mall today and read where I'd rather have written. Because I didn't have the laptop. And my phone has a keyboard, but it's not really much fun for anything serious.
If the iPhone supported one of the old stowaway style fold up keyboards, I'd get one in a heartbeat. My phone actually *does* support bluetooth keyboards, but there are no drivers for the old models that are out there and for whatever reason, the last time I looked, I didn't find any.
So where has this segment gone? Granted, I'm the only one I ever saw, but am I actually the only person who ever used this? I don't believe it, seeing the mockups of iPhone keyboards that I've seen. And yet, the animal exists only as hacks.
I'm considering a netbook as a poor substitute for my old ultramobile setup. A 10" block isn't going to fit in my pocket the way the 5" diagonal of the Palm.
But something is better than nothing. Right?

8:29PM - Editable Inevitable
A comment from lisamantchev suddenly made me realize just how long I've been sitting on her manuscript and in a fresh heap of guilt, I've been thinking about the problem. Not that she meant to guilt me, she was just talking about a conversation with her agent, and it occurred to me that I really don't want to be holding the potato at whatever point she's in a sale situation. Partly because I don't want to stress her out, period, and partly because she'd not hesitate to kick my ass, but she'd be all nice about it and I would feel so incredibly guilty.

10:24PM - JK missed her own point.
Please be advised that I'm about to add to the vast ecology of articles on the internet that discuss Harry Potter and Specifically Book 7. If you are likely to feel that this is a spoiler, then stop reading the internet and start reading the massively hyped book so you don't have to whine about the spoiler. Okay? Okay.
Like all the other screaming schoolchildren, I read Deathly Hallows early in July, and mostly enjoyed the read. It certainly made up for the almost pointless book six, in my mind, and I liked the sense of having progressed from the preparatory stuff to the end game. I have to admit, I mostly liked the end sequence, despite some really annoying bits about specific characters' brushes with death. But in the end, I wasn't satisfied, and I set it down figuring I'd just forget about it. Except I haven't forgotten about it, and today the lightbulb *finally* clicked. I know why I didn't like Harry Potter 7. It's that damned epilogue.
Not the fact that she has one, because really she needed that. But in going decades into the future, the author dropped one a fundamental piece of the story.
From the start, the books have been about Harry Potter and Hogwarts, his true home. Privet Drive was the unpleasantness before he could go Home, and take up this wonderful life that he'd never known he would have. Each book has been evolving his place in Hogwarts, but also marking his progress *through* the seven years of wizarding school.
Rowling isn't stupid. She understood that Hogwarts was important, or else the final battle would have been somewhere that offered more spectacle, like London-town perhaps. And it was right that the showdown should occur there, in the place that has been important to Harry and to his nemesis. But my big epiphany is that that she fumbled that thread at the end
When all the dust has settled, when this great distraction of his mortal battle with He-Who-Needs-A-Hairpiece is done, the story remains that of The-Boy-Who-Lived. And The-Boy-Who-Lived would have needed to put all the excitement away, and finish his final year of classes. Before the author flipped us twenty years ahead, I really think that she owed us the finish to Harry's story, which would have been his finish at Hogwarts. It offers a degree of closure and completeness that seems to be lacking from the implicit ending in the epilogue she did give us.
I'm a little staggered by the resonant righteousness of the idea. And I'm thrilled that I found this idea, because I can't articulate what, but it makes me feel like I've learned something important about story construction. Of course, that might just be my imagination, but at the least it's fun analysis.
Think about it, won't you? Yes you, the only person left still reading me. Harry should have gotten his moment on the podium, accepting his diploma with all his friends around him. Looking out into the new world, finally at peace, and in his proper place. Right? Am I wrong? Is Harry Potter and the Mid-Life Crisis a better close than Harry Potter and the Commencement Address?
You're all I've got, so I'm hoping you'll react. ;) Cheers.

9:29PM - The Wrong Verb
Every once in a while I get these opportunities or prompts to look at things differently. And I've been looking at my life and what pleases me and what doesn't and I suddenly realized, the things that currently don't please me are also the things where the verb, the action is wrong.

12:04AM - Small Fish. Big Splash. Hungry Glances.
Almost two months after I got the word that I'd been promoted, an envelope showed up at my door with a new employment contract that I'm apparently supposed to sign.
I've sent a more conciliatory email since then (I hope it was taken that way, anyway). I'm not saying they didn't earn my temper, but they deserve credit for how much control they've put into their processes compared to the days when I first signed up. And I need to remember that I'm under a lot more scrutiny now that I'm... well... not management... how about upper-level peon.
Educational. I shouldn't have needed it.
In case the employer is peeking, sorry for the confusion.

9:40PM - Walter Mondale, you inspire me.
So one of the perks of being lisamantchev's sidekick is getting the advanced class on the whole publication process. And now that she's gotten herself an agent (who is a respectable technical geek that I got to meet way back before they were all officially a couple) it's a massive step forward in the road to getting me an autograph. (And yes, I know I could get her to sign my copy of the anthology she's in, but I'm holding out for her hardcover. It'll be cooler.)
I remember a radio program pointing out something monumental about the 1984 United States Presidential Election in which the late President Ronald Reagan won a landslide victory. In fact, his opponent, Walter Mondale, obtained only 3% of the roughly 540 electoral college votes.1
Three percent. 13 votes.
And the brilliant observation wasn't that it was a small number. No, the speaker managed to quantify the defeat in very human terms: Walter Mondale had beaten *me* by only 13 college votes. I didn't even run.
The radio program, I should admit, was a comedy, but there's something magical in that misguided bit of trivia. (Anybody able to attribute the comedian should drop me a line, please, he deserves credit). Sure it's funny, but at a completely different level, it suddenly made me picture myself *in* the presidential race. Only for a little while, what with not being American or Interested in the position, but thanks to Walter Mondale, I had a whole new way to look at the world.
I mean, sure I didn't win the presidency, but heck, even Walter Mondale only got 13 more votes, and he had to campaign way harder than than I did.
Blurbs are written by the most successful writers you can find who are willing to say something positive about your book. Stephen King writing about how your book is a terrifying perspective into the depths of the human soul and that you are the logical successor to Stephen King is going to cause all the Stephen King fans to at least take a look at your writing, and there are an awful lot of Stephen King fans.
Stephen King is a massively published author. I am not published at all (not anywhere that counts). Clearly, if it were to be a choice between Stephen King's blurb or my blurb on the back of her book, there is no question that she should pick the one from Mr King. That's just a no-brainer.
But here's where my Mondale effect kicks in. Because now I can say, "Yeah, I wrote a blurb for Scrimshaw, but they picked Stephen King over me." And on the one hand, it's a lop-sided competition, but on the other hand, a little tiny corner of your brain has just accepted the absurd proposition that I have any place in a literary face-off with a Name.
And that may still leave me the loser, but hey, I faced off against the master of contemporary horror, what have you done lately?
So I'm working on my blurb. I don't think they'll be talking to Mr King about her book. (They haven't mentioned it to me) But I'm betting on her getting published, and I know I can lose to whoever's blurbs get picked.
I'm just good that way.
A bold, genre-busting tale of derring-do, of pathos, of bitter conflict, and lasting friendships, Lisa Mantchev's Scrimshaw is a brilliantly executed tour-de-force, a rousing romp, where all the world's the stage, and only the players can save it.
(Okay, I was just goofing, but is it bad that I actually *like* that last part? Damn you, Stephen King, you've thwarted me again!!!2)
1For anybody left ignorant of the electoral college after the 2000 election, the popular voting in the United States is subdivided into electoral college seats, and each seat is won individually. Mathematically, it's a wonderfully democratic system, but I guess the Americans aren't good at math because they then screw it up by assigning all the seats in a state to the candidate who wins a electoral college majority in that state.
2The first time being Lawnmower Man.

I'm kind of befuddled at the moment. Probably doesn't help that I've been struggling to keep my horses fit this year. Getting married complicates things when you're still trying to care for your blood family household too (In a good way, just busy)
How typical do you see Irish Draught's in Hunters? Fi isn't a flashy mover by any stretch, the mare would rather drag her hooves versus pick them up. The point she wears her toes flat for the farrier . Which reminded of the "flat knee" terminology I have often heard in Hunters.
When I think Hunter's I think of the petite breeds of horses along with the riders, but shows how much I know ;)
I originally bought Fiona to do lower level eventing on, but she needs exposure and truthfully... I want to show some. I miss it. Not a ribbon chaser, but I miss the atmosphere. Probably because I can share the same passion as a lot of the folks there. I board at an old racing barn with no other riders.
Do you think Fi and I would have a shot in Hunter's or should I just keep my nose pointed at the lower level eventing?
I understand she probably would excel in=Dressage, but I really don't want to focus on that. I want to do "some" jumping with her as well. I also understand that Dressage really develops a nice rounded horse... but I just don't want to go that route right now.
The question stirred after sitting in on a Pony Hunter Show and just wanting to get out there and showing again, getting the exposure she very much needs at the very least.

In the last round of the Kings' Tournament in Bucharest Wang Hao defeated Ruslan Ponomariov in a Semi-Tarrasch to finish on 4.5/8. The Chinese GM ended only half a point behind tournament winner Fabiano Caruana, who drew his last-round game with Teimour Radjabov quickly.
Fabiano Caruana became the winner of Kings' Tournament 2013. After a quick draw in the last round with the black pieces against Radjabov, the Italian GM scored 5 points out of 8 and secured the first place.
Wang Hao-Ponomariov was a long game, where Black equalized after the opening, but then started to face some problems which the Ukrainian GM failed to solve. In the resulting endgame with rooks and opposite-coloured bishops Wang Hao won a pawn and then converted his material advantage to achieve his second win in a row in Bucharest.
Caruana tweeted:
Not a great finish, but still managed to win the Kings' Tournament. Traveling to Rodos tomorrow for the ECC. Hoping my team SOCAR will win!

I still believe that Anand has a decent opportunity to beat Carlsen.
Their last game where Carlsen easily beat Anand, I believe that it was a phsicological trick by Anand so Carlsen will believe that he can easily beat him and do not fully feel the need to prepare too much for the WCC.
I believe that Carlsen has the handicap of never playing a match against one of the top eight players in the world. Anand on the other hand has great experience in match play and could be the winning key to retain the World Championship Title.
Carlsen will win easily, because he is clearly the strongest player. Simple as that, the rest are useless speculation.
Congrats, Iano!
Radjabov could have played his part in what would have been an exciting finish to the tournament. But instead he chose the cowardly route.
What is the point of turning up to a tournament if your intention is simply to draw all your games. I hope tournament organizers take note and refuse to invite these players in future.
Wang hao hen hao!! :)
Currently Caruana is the strongest player not qualified for the 2014 Candidates.
Typical safe play by radjabov. No guts, no Carlsen like performance.
great!!! Wanghao!!!

There are a ton of people who write about the Mets and I am happy to say that most of them seem to be good people, too. I guess it is not a huge surprise that the guys at the biggest sites – Cerrone and Baron at MetsBlog and Simon, Kannengeiser, Artus and crew over at Amazin' Avenue – are top notch. But it seems that no matter what size Mets blog you run across, you will find good people. Ed Leyro is the brains behind Studious Metsimus. I don't really know Ed except through his writing but I like the content he produces. I reached out and asked if he would do a Q&A and he immediately said yes. Then I gave him a bunch of questions and asked him to turn it around in a day. And he did without a word of complaint. More importantly, he gave interesting answers. Below are his thoughts on blogging, being a fan and some Mets-specific questions. How would you describe the Mets blogosphere? I'd describe the Mets blogosphere this way: we're everywhere! I can't think of another fan ...

ESCONDIDO: Critics question plan for new library wing
Concerns include financing, operating costs, other priorities
A proposal to spend roughly $25 million on a new wing for the Escondido Library has raised questions about how the project would be financed, whether the city could afford to operate it and whether a higher city priority should be restoring a recent 39 percent reduction in library hours.
Library trustees said last week that quickly moving forward with the new wing should be a high priority, because having specific plans in place would help secure the donations, grants and property tax increase required to fund the project.
"We need an innovative project that will attract attention and philanthropy," said Alex Galenes, president of the library board of trustees.
Proponents also contend that more library space is badly needed in Escondido, where the population has more than doubled since the main library opened on Kalmia Street in 1980.
The new wing, which would be roughly 30,000 to 40,000 square feet, would nearly double the city's library space when combined with the 40,000-square-foot main library. It would be built just west of the main building.
Proponents also say the new wing would not sharply increase operating costs because it would be more efficient than the current library, which was built before computers and the Internet became key components of library services.
In addition, having separate wings and entrances would serve the community better and save money by allowing certain parts of the library to remain open at different times. For example, the children's section might only be open during after-school hours.
But critics have questioned a financing plan that includes $5 million from city reserves, $7 million from donations or grants, and $10 million from a bond measure that could hike annual property taxes $2.50 for every $100,000 in assessed value. Trustees said last week that they might seek voter approval for a bond measure as early as 2012.
"Raising $7 million is a very ambitious goal," City Councilman Sam Abed told trustees last week. "And I think a more realistic cost for this would be $30 million to $35 million, instead of $22 million."
Abed also said city officials should not consider building a new wing until they have enough money to restore hours at the main library, which were slashed from 57 per week to 42 per week last spring, and the hours at the city's lone branch on East Valley Parkway, which were cut from 36 per week to 15 per week last spring.
The $5 million in city reserves required for the project also raised eyebrows on the council last week, but Councilman Dick Daniels said the city might use some of the roughly $3 million in annual redevelopment revenue it expects to begin receiving in 2013.
In addition, proponents said some of the construction costs could be covered by private sector partners who might occupy part of the new building.
Councilwoman Marie Waldron questioned whether the declining need for books during the Internet age might allow the city to build a smaller new wing, which would cost less money.

Who's the best brother on Degrassi?Posted on 11/27/2010 by Mary
Each of the brother-figures currently starring on Degrassi -- Sav, Declan, Adam, and Drew -- get high marks on their brotherly qualities like support, loyalty, protectiveness, and forgiveness.
Which of them do you think takes the title for Best Degrassi Brother though?
Degrassi: Daaaang, St. Clare!Posted on 11/05/2010 by Mary
SPOILLLLLLLARRRSSS inside so don't click 'til you've watched the ep here it is if you need it.) Everyone who's all watched up... let's talk:
* You know, Drew definitely did not do right by Alli at Vegas night, but... I've got to hand it to him for being a pretty great brother. I remember when he first came on and was giving Riley static, it seemed like he was going to be a certain kind of dude, but I guess we know now that he's definitely more complex than that. What's your take on him?
* When you think about what really had to be going on in Eli's room -- I mean, when someone's a hoarder, it's not just piles of paper and clothes we're talking about, it's like... food wrappers -- could you be as awesome a gf/bf as Clare was to him? I feel like she showed him some seriously mature amounts of unconditional love in this episode, and it warmed my fuzzies. Was anyone out there too grossed out to get over it?
* Wesley is a nice, nice person. Wesley... you are REALLY nice. Do you guys think Dave deserves the niceness Wes showed him tonight? Would you have been Wes-like in those circumstances?
Degrassi: Let's break it down.Posted on 10/29/2010 by Mary
SPOILERS BELOW; watch the ep now if you haven't already. Then let's talk....
1) It was so hard to watch Clare ask questions like "Why do I have to suffer because they fell out of love?" -- questions that really just don't have any good answer. Did anyone out there with divorced parents feel pangs of recognition watching Clare go through this? What would you tell her if you could talk to her right now?
2) So very pleased to meet you, Bullfrog and Cece! Are Eli's parents anything like you expected? Also, would you freak out if you found out your bf/gf's ex used to live with them? Like in their room?
3) Clare and Eli are very different... do you think they're different in good ways, or ways that will pull them apart at some point?
4) Wow. Adam and Fiona on the steps... that was definitely some bonding going on. Who do you think makes a better boyfriend for Fiona, Drew or Adam?
5) So, Dave and Wesley. On the one hand... dude, Dave and Alli have so much in common, it's really a wonder they didn't end up together. Why can't people appreciate the friends they have rather than wanting "cooler" ones? On the OTHER hand... you know, Dave has some interests that Wes doesn't. It seems natural that he'd want some other friends, too. I guess the problem is when he tries to replace one with the other, instead of having lots of friends. What did you think of the Dave/Wes dynamic tonight?
Degrassi Sneak Peek: For Clare, the end is just the beginning.Posted on 10/28/2010 by Mary
Here's the first scene of tomorrow night's heartbreaking Degrassi ep.
Clare had been waiting for her parents to finally say the words... they're getting divorced. But now that it's official, it feels like it's not even close to the end of the sadness and loss she'll go through.
To any real life someones out there somewhere who are having a day pretty much exactly like this one... consider yourself hugged. It'll get better, for you and for Clare.

The clock is ticking for beverage companies and consumer advocacy groups looking to repeal Mayor Michael Bloomberg's embargo on large sized sugary drinks in New York City. The Center for Consumer Freedom recently took a few jabs at the mayor in response to his proposed ban on the sale of sodas larger than 16oz's. A recent campaign launched by CCF and contributed by Coca-Cola reads: "You only thought you lived in the land of the free," and "New Yorkers need a mayor, not a nanny."
Shot's fired.
