Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics, Western University
I have been in the math
department at the University of Western Ontario since 2002. I
received my PhD at the University
of Michigan in 1999.
My mathematical interests fit roughly under a heading of algebraic
combinatorics. More precisely, this includes arrangements of
hyperplanes and subspaces, combinatorial aspects of rational homotopy
theory, and "toric topology."
I have some preprints and publications available here.
I gave some lectures on tropical compactifications of arrangement
complements in June, 2012 at the summer school Arrangements
in Pyrenees -- the final version of my lecture notes can be found here, to
appear in the Toulouse Math Journal.
Here is a pdf version of a talk I
gave at the BIRS meeting
Topological methods in toric geometry, symplectic geometry and
I am currently accepting new PhD students.
I am a fan of Macaulay 2 (software for commutative algebra and algebraic geometry). Greg Smith and I have written a package for computation with hyperplane arrangements. It is included with the standard Macaulay 2 distribution (versions ≥ 1.0): the latest version of the package is also available here for download.
I was on sabbatical from July 2009 -- June 2010: I visited the EPFL (Lausanne) from September through November, and the University of Oregon from January through summer 2010.

Comments about Harley-Davidson Women's Darice Motorcycle Boots:
I took the risk of ordering these boots online, and had to return them for a smaller size. I was so excited when I received my order, but as soon as I took them out of the box, I knew they were going to be too big. I tried them on anyways.
When I had the larger pair in possession, my heels kept slipping out in both of the boots every time I would take a step. They were not comfortable to walk in at all -- it was like walking in large, heavy, clunky flip flops! Before returning them, I tried the recommendation of wearing them with thick socks. STILL, they didn't fit. My heels still slipped easily out of both boots even with the thickest pair of socks I own. Doubling the socks made no difference either -- plus, who wants to wear that many pairs of socks? Ironically, the larger size was a lot harder to get into than the smaller size. It was like putting on a pair of newly washed and shrunken jeans but for your feet. This was because it was extremely snug around the top arch of my foot, which I loved about the boots as they made my foot feel secure in that part; however, even with the snugness it did not solve the heel slipping problem. Sad day.
So I mailed off the larger pair, and waited anxiously for the smaller size to arrive. When they finally came, I was nervous. I've never purchased shoes from the Harley Davidson brand before, so I didn't know how big the jump in sizes were. Turns out, it's about average. I had to go from a 6.5 to a size 6 in these boots, and the smaller size fits better. Now I wouldn't say perfect... both boots have very minor heel slipping problems -- the right boot more than the left; however, had I gone a full size smaller, my toes would definitely be cramped. I tried the thick sock trick again, and that solved the problem. They fit perfectly with thick socks and stopped slipping.
I am disappointed though that the top arch of the boot wasn't nearly as snug as the previous pair. Even with the buckle on the tightest hole, it doesn't change much. Don't get me wrong, these boots still fit and feel secure enough to be walking around in all day, but knowing that they'll still break in as I wear them and stretch out over the years, this is just a bummer. Because of this, the smaller pair almost feel as though they had already been broken into by someone else even though they were brand new. I can also tell that the second pair of boots -- the one's I received for the exchange -- have been sitting in the warehouse for a while since the leather is a bit dry and nowhere near as supple and pristine as the first pair they sent me. However, a good leather cleaner and conditioner can solve that easily.
When comparing the first pair I received to the second, I also noticed how the shaft of the boots were slightly different. The larger pair's shaft was almost perfectly straight with no slouch -- a design quality I liked in the boot. The smaller pair I was sent had a slight slouchy look already built into the boot. I'm not sure if it's because the leather shrunk a bit as it dried out in the warehouse or not, but it's just a picky observation to take note of. The larger pair was also a much darker brown -- nearly black -- in comparison to the smaller pair which is an obvious shade of brown. However this is understandable as it is natural leather and variations like such exist.
I also noticed that these boots are made really weird. They were made in a way that makes your feet LOOK really long. I have small feet, and these boots make my feet look huge in comparison. They don't look bad, but they just make my feet look super long as many of the other reviewers have stated. It's like they lined the boot with some extra thick lining or something to make the interior much smaller in ratio to the outside; thus, causing this effect. Oh well. There is also a hard plastic toe guard and heel guard in the interior that matches the shape of the heel stitching on the outside of the boot. You can feel it, but I don't find to to be uncomfortable. I also don't have sensitive feet, so if you're the type of person that like shoes that feel like you're walking on clouds, keep that in mind. Otherwise, they are quite comfortable. No arch support, but that perfect for me since I have flatfeet anyways.
*It's important to note that I tried on the smaller pair after I had just woken up -- when my feet were at their smallest. So I'm sure they would fit perfectly after a days worth of walking. The description of when I tried on the larger pair was after trying on the boots at the end of the day -- when my feet were at their largest. Also, 95% of the shoes I own and wear are a 6.5, so I am pretty darn sure I'm a true 6.5; albeit, I have never had my foot measured. Just save yourself the extra return shipping cost and order a half size down. If it helps, I'm a 6.5 in Steve Madden's shoe brand and Target's Merona shoe brand.*
Overall, I do feel that they are of good quality and will last me years as long as I take care of them.

Washington's source for compelling television and inspiring classical music. Donate Online
George Washington, the father of our country, was a deadbeat book borrower? Apparently so. In April of 2010, the New York Library Society was going through the process of restoring and digitizing their holdings when an employee stumbled across the long lost fourteen-volume collection, Common Debates, a collection of transcripts from the English House of Commons. But, the collection was missing a volume. A check of the old circulation ledger proved that volume #12 had last been checked out by library patron George Washington October 5, 1789, along with a book by Emer de Vattel, entitled Law of Nations.
The books were due back on November 2, but according to the records, neither was ever returned.

Lady Thatcher Biography
(Margaret Thatcher)
- Born: 13-10-1925
- Died: 08-04-2013
- Birth Place: Lincolnshire
Lady Thatcher Biography
Margaret Thatcher was the grocer's daughter who went on to become Britain's first female prime minister.
Margaret Thatcher was the daughter of a businessman and mayor of Grantham, educated at the local grammar school and at Oxford, where she obtained a degree in chemistry and was president of the Conservative Association.
Upon graduation Margaret worked for four years as a research chemist. She then qualified as a barrister, specialising in taxation law, in 1954.
As Miss Margaret Roberts, she stood twice in parliamentary elections for the Conservative Party, before being elected (after her marriage to Denis Thatcher) to the House of Commons, in 1959 as Member for Finchley.
Mrs Thatcher's first ministerial appointment came in 1961, and she quickly became a front-bench spokesman for her party and member of the Shadow Cabinet.
When the Conservatives were returned to office in June 1970, she was appointed secretary of state for education and science, becoming famous as "Thatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher" after her abolition of the universal free school milk scheme.
After the Conservatives lost power in 1974, she was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet and was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 1975.
In May 1979 she became Britain's first female prime minister, after the Conservatives regained power from Labour.
In power she was best known for her destruction of Britain's traditional industries, through her attacks on labour organisations such as the miner's union and for the massive privatisation of social housing and public transport. Mrs Thatcher was also famous for her right-wing, pro-corporate alliance with US President Regan.
In 1982 Mrs Thatcher and her government took the UK to war with Argentina over the invasion of the Falkland Islands. The British victory that followed has been cited as a contributory factor to the Conservatives gaining a second term in government in the 1983 general election.
She resigned on 28 November 1990, after her disastrous attempt to implement a fixed rate local tax (Poll Tax) and to disenfranchise those who did not pay it. This led to huge popular protest, and disapproval from within her party.
In 1992, she was appointed to the House of Lords, as Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven.
After leaving government she was occupied by writing and lucrative speaking engagements. Most recently her increasingly poor health and memory loss meant that she was forced to withdraw from public life.
In 2011 Meryl Streep starred as Lady Thatcher in the movie The Iron Lady, a role for which she won an Academy Award.
Lady Thatcher died peacefully in her sleep aged 87, following a stroke, on 8 April 2013.

Mrs. Bessie Billie "Louise" Woodby Jasperse, 78, went to be with our Lord on Friday, June 27, 2014, in the comfort of her own home.
Mrs. Jasperse was born May 12, 1936, in Unicoi, Tennessee, and grew up in Johnson City. She worked at Cole's Drug Store in Johnson City, where she met pharmacist Don Jasperse in 1955. They married June 29, 1955, and moved to Kingsport within a few years. She later worked for a time at the Kingsport Times News.
She was a devoted mother, daughter, grandmother, and homemaker. Mrs. Jasperse cultivated beautiful flowers, quilted and needle worked, and was fond of bird watching.

It's a perfectly natural part of life, but somewhere along the way we've developed an unhealthy and sometimes cruel aversion to it. Not discussing imminent death only prolongs suffering for the patient and the family, while leaving many personal emotional issues unresolved.
According to a New York Times blog by Maggie Jones, even doctors struggle to talk about dying with their patients, and often fail to bring up the subject at all. As a consequence, patients suffer needless and often painful interventions at the end of their lives that can add thousands of dollars to a single patient's medical costs with with no benefit.
We've got doctors who are uncomfortable with the subject, patients who don't want to burden loved ones, family members who don't want to upset the patient, and a group avoidance of the inescapable reality of death, a perfectly normal and natural event. Sure, it's emotionally charged, but better to deal with it than to hide our heads in the sand.
Doctors owe it to their patients to be truthful, allowing families the opportunity to discuss end-of-life issues and settle important practical matters. Uncomfortable as the topic of death may be, it is not in the best interests of the family to hold on to a false hope. Nor is it a sign of weakness on the part the patient to accept the inevitable.
I'm all for hospitals and every life-saving technique they can employ, but there comes a point at which they can do more harm than good. I would hope that I can count of medical professionals to tell me when that time comes.
Watching a beloved family member endure painful medical interventions is one thing when you have hope of prolonging life in a meaningful way. It's quite another when all hope is lost.
As for me, I'd rather face death with some dignity than to spend my last days pretending that it won't happen to me. I prefer not to go out hooked up to machines in a sterile environment and enduring all manner of medical intervention to no avail. I prefer to know the truth and to deal with it appropriately.
End-of-life-choices have to come from a place of compassion and honesty from all parties. It's too important to ignore. It's a discussion we should all be having with our families… and our physicians.

Wendy Flay your comment made me laugh. It's so true that when we have babies we're only thinking about ourselves 'having a baby'. We're not thinking about bringing another person into this world who is going to die one day. It doesn't bother us much because, as parents, hopefully we won't be around to see it ourselves. I often laugh at the old Bill Cosby line that he used when telling about chastising his young kids, "I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it". Which apparently made them behave themselves very quickly.
I am convinced that the reason behind our antiquated anti-euthanasia laws is that they can't make any more money from us after we die so they try to keep us alive as long as possible with more and more 'tests' and 'procedures' or anything they can think up because after we've gone, it all stops. Then they turn to the next unsuspecting vulnerable person.
Doctors should never offer to force feed anyone, especially a 99 year old. I believe we should all have the choice to go when and how we choose. It's our own body and no one else has the moral right to force us to suffer longer than need be. I also don't beleive we should use religion to make people suffer longer. Religion (superstition) should have no say in the matter. Nor should medical practitioners interfere unless requested by the person who is ill or aged, or their loved ones. Doctors try to medicalize everything from birth to death, when these are all completely natural processes. We wouldn't treat our cats & dogs the way we treat elderly people. My best friends mother starved herself to death because she couldn't get help to die with dignity. She had motor neurone disease for many years, poor woman. A family friends grandmother hung herself because she also couldn't obtain euthanasia. This is disgusting in the 21st century when we now have drugs that would bring about a peaceful and gentle end at home with our family, if we so choose. The only thing blocking it are our ultra-conservative and backward anti-euthanasia laws.
No need to prolong agony. Mom died paralyse from a stroke or two at the hospital after not being able to eat, she lasted 10 days, they ask me if I wanted them to "force feed her", I said no tube, her heart stop, 2 days in coma, too much uric acid. At 99 no one is expected to live forever. She was in better shape than I am prior to her first stroke. We all had hope she would make the 100.
Last month my cousin 74 had a stroke/ heart attack, they tried by-pass first, she had a leak in her aorta, they open her up, too brittle, nothing to do, she died 3 days later in coma. Too much plaque=they knew that but as doc I suppose they swore to do their all best to save humanity from their ailments or experiment for their next patients? Most of us all look for that famous Fountain of Jouvence forgetting no one as yet found it.
I am 61 not 25, I am of the opinion "do not ressucite", as my condition of past infart,stroke and a tired heart per doc.
Cremated, in commun ground:earth to dirt. Easy for me to say as I have no more family. My Soul will soar...So did my mom & dad. They are there in my heart.
Margaret - that sounds lovely. I would encourage the memorial service; as that is a way to celebrate your life, share memories and share grief. Also, on the living will/do not rescitate order; you also need to add that you want NO LIFESAVING DEVICES INCLUDING FEEDING TUBES. If that phrase is not included, the Doctors can place a feeding tube that may prolong your suffering - even though they know you are dying. If it is not written down, even your family members can not order it not be placed. This happened to my husband's Uncle. They knew he was dying and he had a do not ressicate order on file. Even though the family said NO, the doctors said that he was legally bound to put in the feeding tube and the Uncle was in pain for almost 2 weeks before he died. Both she and my other Aunt added the no feeding tube to thier living will after that.
Ann, you've said it so well, Thank you.
I shall print your comment, sign it as approval, communicate it to my family and keep it in my wallet as my last will, in case I'm found as vegetable somewhere...
Cheers !

Parents always talk about how wonderful life is and how thanks to them giving birth you, you are alive but they hardly ever talk about the future death they gave you with the same breath leaving it as something to scare the ---- out of you when you become more self aware. Perhaps if I were in pain I would change my mind but I want to live for ever. I wanted my relatives to live for ever. It's in my DNA, it's from that first survival soup.
Several years ago I decided to have a living will saying, "do not resuscitate". I don't want my adult childern going through what I did with my mother.
I have also decided not to have a formal wake. Instead I will be cremated and my ashes dispersed at sea.Why, because it's an archaic custom and exhausting for the childern. I talked it over with my adult childern first before I made my fianl decision.
Then to spend indecent amounts of money for a funeral, when the money could be put to good use in other areas;like a vacation or money for college for my grand childern.
I haven't decided yet about having a " memorial service", will talk that over with the family.

The price tag for the drought Texas farmers and ranchers are enduring is mounting with each dry day that passes.
Officials say the losses are $1.5 billion for a six-month period that ended May 1. Most of that is to livestock producers whose grazing pastures are withering through this historic drought. If the drought continues into June, losses for the nation's second largest agriculture producer will top $4 billion. That would make it the costliest season on record.
Meteorologists blame La Nina, a cooling of the Pacific waters near the equator. It's caused extreme drought in Texas and parts of Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico.
About 90 percent of Texas' beef cows are in counties with severe to exceptional drought.
May is typically the wettest month in Texas.

- Bayesian and adaptive optimal policy under model uncertainty (2006)
- We study the problem of a policymaker who seeks to set policy optimally in an economy where the true economic structure is unobserved, and policymakers optimally learn from their observations of the economy. This is a classic problem of learning and control, variants of which have been studied in the past, but little with forward-looking variables which are a key component of modern policy-relevant models. As in most Bayesian learning problems, the optimal policy typically includes an experimentation component reflecting the endogeneity of information. We develop algorithms to solve numerically for the Bayesian optimal policy (BOP). However the BOP is only feasible in relatively small models, and thus we also consider a simpler specification we term adaptive optimal policy (AOP) which allows policymakers to update their beliefs but shortcuts the experimentation motive. In our setting, the AOP is significantly easier to compute, and in many cases provides a good approximation to the BOP. We provide a simple example to illustrate the role of learning and experimentation in an MJLQ framework. JEL Classification: E42, E52, E58

- Mortgage markets, collateral constraints, and monetary policy: do institutional factors matter? (2006)
- We study the role of institutional characteristics of mortgage markets in affecting the strength and timing of the effects of monetary policy shocks on house prices and consumption in a sample of OECD countries. We document three facts: (1) there is significant divergence in the structure of mortgage markets across the main industrialised countries; (2) at the business cycle frequency, the correlation between consumption and house prices increases with the degree of flexibility/development of mortgage markets; (3) the transmission of monetary policy shocks on consumption and house prices is stronger in countries with more flexible/developed mortgage markets. We then build a two-sector dynamic general equilibrium model with price stickiness and collateral constraints, where the ability of borrowing is endogenously linked to the nominal value of a durable asset (housing). We study how the response of consumption to monetary policy shocks is affected by alternative values of three key institutional parameters: (i) down-payment rate; (ii) mortgage repayment rate; (iii) interest rate mortgage structure (variable vs. fixed interest rate). In line with our empirical evidence, the sensitivity of consumption to monetary policy shocks increases with lower values of (i) and (ii), and is larger under a variable-rate mortgage structure.

- Unemployment fluctuations with staggered Nash bargaining (2006)
- A number of authors have recently emphasized that the conventional model of unemployment dynamics due to Mortensen and Pissarides has difficulty accounting for the relatively volatile behavior of labor market activity over the business cycle. We address this issue by modifying the MP framework to allow for staggered multiperiod wage contracting. What emerges is a tractable relation for wage dynamics that is a natural generalization of the period-by-period Nash bargaining outcome in the conventional formulation. An interesting side-product is the emergence of spillover effects of average wages on the bargaining process. We then show that a reasonable calibration of the model can account well for the cyclical behavior of wages and labor market activity observed in the data. The spillover effects turn out to be important in this respect. JEL Classification: E32, E50, J64

- On the role of patience in an insurance market with asymmetric information (2006)
- We analyse a 2-period competitive insurance market which is characterized by the simultaneous presence of standard moral hazard and adverse selection with regard to consumer time preferences. It is shown that there exists an equilibrium in which patient consumers use high effort and buy a profit-making insurance contract with high coverage, whereas impatient consumers use low effort and buy a contract with low coverage or even remain uninsured. This finding may help to explain why positive profits and the opposite of adverse selection with regard to risk types can sometimes be observed empirically. JEL Classification: D82, G22

- Regional inflation dynamics within and across Euro area countries and a comparison with the US (2006)
- We investigate co-movements and heterogeneity in inflation dynamics of different regions within and across euro area countries using a novel disaggregate dataset to improve the understanding of inflation differentials in the European Monetary Union. We employ a model where regional inflation dynamics are explained by common euro area and country specific factors as well as an idiosyncratic regional component. Our findings indicate a substantial common area wide component, that can be related to the common monetary policy in the euro area and to external developments, in particular exchange rate movements and changes in oil prices. The effects of the area wide factors differ across regions, however. We relate these differences to structural economic characteristics of the various regions. We also find a substantial national component. Our findings do not differ substantially before and after the formal introduction of the euro in 1999, suggesting that convergence has largely taken place before the mid 90s. Analysing US regional inflation developments yields similar results regarding the relevance of common US factors. Finally, we find that disaggregate regional inflation information, as summarised by the area wide factors, is important in explaining aggregate euro area and US inflation rates, even after conditioning on macroeconomic variables. Therefore, monitoring regional inflation rates within euro area countries can enhance the monetary policy maker's understanding of aggregate area wide inflation dynamics.

- How large is the housing wealth effect? : a new approach (2006)
- This paper presents a simple new method for estimating the size of 'wealth effects' on aggregate consumption. The method exploits the well-documented sluggishness of consumption growth (often interpreted as 'habits' in the asset pricing literature) to distinguish between short-run and long-run wealth effects. In U.S. data, we estimate that the immediate (next-quarter) marginal propensity to consume from a $1 change in housing wealth is about 2 cents, with a final long-run effect around 9 cents. Consistent with several recent studies, we find a housing wealth effect that is substantially larger than the stock wealth effect. We believe that our approach is preferable to the currently popular cointegrationbased estimation methods, because neither theory nor evidence justifies faith in the existence of a stable cointegrating vector. JEL Classification: E21, E32, C22
- 2006, 34
- Consumption smoothing and liquidity income redistribution (2006)
- We show theoretically that income redistribution benefits borrowingconstrained individuals more than is implied by standard relative-income and uninsurable-risk considerations. Empirically, we find in international opinion-survey data that younger and lower-income individuals express stronger support for government redistribution in countries where consumer credit is less easily available. This evidence supports our theoretical perspective if such individuals are more strongly affected by tighter credit supply, in that expectations of higher incomes in the future increase their propensity to borrow. JEL Classification: E21
- 2006, 33
- Credit cycles and macro fundamentals (2006)
- We study the relation between the credit cycle and macro economic fundamentals in an intensity based framework. Using rating transition and default data of U.S. corporates from Standard and Poor's over the period 1980–2005 we directly estimate the credit cycle from the micro rating data. We relate this cycle to the business cycle, bank lending conditions, and financial market variables. In line with earlier studies, these variables appear to explain part of the credit cycle. As our main contribution, we test for the correct dynamic specification of these models. In all cases, the hypothesis of correct dynamic specification is strongly rejected. Moreover, accounting for dynamic mis-specification, many of the variables thought to explain the credit cycle, turn out to be insignificant. The main exceptions are GDP growth, and to some extent stock returns and stock return volatilities. Their economic significance appears low, however. This raises the puzzle of what macro-economic fundamentals explain default and rating dynamics. JEL Classification: G11, G21

- Does patience pay? : empirical testing of the option to delay accepting a tender offer in the U.S. banking sector (2006)
- We examine the empirical predictions of a real option-pricing model using a large sample of data on mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. banking sector. We provide estimates for the option value that the target bank has in waiting for a higher bid instead of accepting an initial tender offer. We find empirical support for a model that estimates the value of an option to wait in accepting an initial tender offer. Market prices reflect a premium for the option to wait to accept an offer that has a mean value of almost 12.5% for a sample of 424 mergers and acquisitions between 1997 and 2005 in the U.S. banking industry. Regression analysis reveals that the option price is related to both the price to book market and the free cash flow of target banks. We conclude that it is certainly in the shareholders best interest if subsequent offers are awaited. JEL Classification: G34, C10

- Revisiting the home bias puzzle. Downside equity risk (2006)
- Deviations from normality in financial return series have led to the development of alternative portfolio selection models. One such model is the downside risk model, whereby the investor maximizes his return given a downside risk constraint. In this paper we empirically observe the international equity allocation for the downside risk investor using 9 international markets' returns over the last 34 years. The results are stable for various robustness checks. Investors may think globally, but instead act locally, due to greater downside risk. The results provide an alternative view of the home bias phenomenon, documented in international financial markets. JEL Classification: G11, G12, G15

Jason Davis: Sadly, drug problem is not going away
As I wrote today's editorial, I felt an overwhelming sadness.
It's not because I'll likely soon have to get a prescription for Sudafed — a cold and sinus medication I use for treatment of what we East Tennesseans like to call "sinuses." I'm already used to feeling like a criminal when I approach the pharmacy counter to request a box, only to get the suspicious eye of the pharmacy tech.
What made me sad was the growing realization that so many Tennesseans turn to chemicals, like meth, as an escape from their daily lives. Every day in the arrest reports we see name after name of citizens now involved in the criminal justice system because of some such issue — busted for DUI, possession of marijuana, meth or another drug or for selling the illicit substances.
Fortunately, I've never directly experienced a close family member suffering in the grips of drugs and alcohol. But I have seen friends and associates — often genuinely good people — affected.
More often than not, there's something going on behind the scenes that pushes a person to using. A broken home life, job difficulties, the sorrow over the loss of a loved one or the self-medication of a mental disorder are often primary causes. No one wakes up one morning and thinks, "I've always wanted to be an alcoholic" or "I think I'll become an addict today."
The older I've gotten I've also begun to realize that laws designed to stop drug abuse, no matter how well-intentioned, usually don't work. The drive of an addict is stronger than the fear of being caught.
Figuring out a way to effectively battle rampant substance abuse has proven nearly impossible.
We've thrown billions, if not trillions, of dollars at the problem in the last half-century or so, yet the problems have only increased. It's depressing.
My generation, which grew up in the time when anti-drug literature was handed out in schools nearly as often as worksheets, seems to be among the most drug dependent.
How do we stem the tide? It doesn't seem like harsher penalties are the answer — there are more people in jail or prison right now for drug offenses than ever in our country's history, yet there's no end in sight.
The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate in the world, at 754 people per 100,000, according to a published report from the International Centre for Prison Studies.
I'm not saying imprisoning people for drug offenses is wrong-minded, I'm just stating the facts.
Where we go from here, I don't know.
There are smarter people out there to figure such things out.
I'm not for the decriminalization of drugs, but perhaps a similar model to what's been used to limit tobacco use could be successful. We all know about the addictive properties of nicotine, yet somehow smoking by Americans has fallen markedly in last few decades.
Whether it's the publicity given to the associated health risks, the increased cost or the public stigma, people have been putting out their butts and dropping the habit for years now. Whoever's led that campaign has done something right, and no one had to go to jail. Let's sign them up to help the U.S. kick its drug problem.
I'm being somewhat facetious, of course. Drug abuse will never go away entirely, just as a society without sin is impossible. Humans have been doing it for thousands of years, and it's a part of people having free will.
Minimizing people's desire to escape reality, and the impact of such behavior, should be a goal. Finding the way to get there is the key.

Service-Learning is a method of teaching whereby students learn through active participation in organized service experiences that:
(adapted from the National & Community Service Trust Act, 1993)
It is a teaching method that allows students the opportunity to put what they are learning in the classroom to practical use in the community. Service-Learning is a teaching strategy that integrates course content with relevant community service. Through assignments and class discussions, students critically reflect on the service in order to increase their understanding of course content, gain a broader appreciation of the discipline, and enhance their sense of civic responsibility.
(adapted from the Boise State Service-Learning website)
Service-Learning is not the same as volunteerism. When volunteering, a person does valuable work for a community agency, with the focus being solely on the agency's needs. The volunteer does not expect to gain anything other than a feeling of satisfaction that he or she has done helpful things to benefit a worthy cause. Although the student doing service-learning also receives the same sense of satisfaction, the focus is not merely on the agency's needs but on the academic needs of the service learner. With service-learning, it is very important that the service experience directly relate to the curriculum and objectives of a certain course.
Service-Learning is practiced at over 1,000 colleges and universities and by over two million college students nationwide. Service-Learning enhances learning and fosters civic responsibility through active involvement in academically-based community service.

Try this (right handed version - reverse for lefties) after making certain the gun is empty:
1. Lay the gun flat in your right hand.
2. Place the web of your hand / base of thumb at the top of the backstrap (where the web would be when you shoot)
3. Place the other 4 fingers of the right hand in a "cup" over the rear of the slide.
4. Squeeze your hand to retract the slide and line up the index lines on the left side of the slide and frame - hold that position
5. Use your left index or middle finger to start pushing the slide stop pin in from right to left. If the pin sticks (as it does on new guns) use a plastic pen or similar object to get it started. Any nonscratching piece of hard plastic will do.
6. Use your left hand to fully withdraw the slide stop pin.
7. Release the slide gently with your right hand
8. Pull the trigger to release the striker
9. Slide the slide forward off of the frame.
You can use the same "cupping" technique to line up the slide and frame for reinsertion of the slide stop pin during reassembly. The "cup" technique is easy to control and hold, and much easier than trying to line things up with the "slingshot" grip.
This sounds hard, but is actually extremely easy and you don't need any extra doodads to accomplish it.
It also works on virtually any semiauto with a slide stop lever attached to a takedown pin.

Nutella hot chocolate
Some days I feel like chocolate I just have a few squares of a plain, dark block with my coffee then there are days when I want comforting, creamy, sweet chocolate – it was the latter which inspired today's post. I spotted a recipe a while back for Nutella hot chocolate and thought I'd give it a go but with some twists to it.
And whatever you do, don't go thinking Nutella is good for you (I'm only being a little bit cheeky). This is one depraved hot chocolate, make no bones about it. I guess you could say I don't do things by halves from the looks of this super easy, decadent hot chocolate drink and for sure you don't need the whipped cream and chocolate sauce or quite honestly the Nutella, but damn. It's good.
You can use any milk you like with this – I used 2% (I know I know, it's the equivalent of eating hot chips with a diet coke but honestly, I could never see what was wrong with that since having a full sugar coke would be worse surely?).
400mls milk of your choice (I used 2%)
3 x 20ml level tablespoons of Nutella
1 tspn vanilla essence
Whipped cream (I used the aerosol kind)
60g dark chocolate
Melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a simmering pan of water on medium heat.
Whisk milk, Nutella and essence in a pan over medium heat until Nutella has dissolved and milk is hot; pour into mugs. Add whipped cream and melted chocolate.
Serves: 2
Note: If you're concerned about the sustainability of Nutella, have a look around for other options.

Such a genius idea for hot chocolate, Emma! Never tried it like this before. I would be in "heaven" drinking a nice mug of the Nutella treat!
Love the photo with the Nutella dripping down the side…a craving photo for Nutella, that's for sure!
As I was strolling down on your previous posts, I noticed your roasted chicken that is incredibly moist and tender looking, made in the Dutch oven. I specifically have a clay pot just for roasting chicken which gives the same results…just haven't used it in a while. I use the lemon and garlic as well, and also stick fresh rosemary sprigs under the skin!

Up in the Dandenongs a friend took me to little cafe that made hot chocolates and mochas with Lindt balls. You could order dark, milk or white. It was the most evil mocha I've ever had.

Nutella in hot chocolate sounds great! And, of course you need the whipped cream. 😉

Best Miniature Golf St. Louis 2007 - Putting Edge
5555 St. Louis Mills Blvd.
Hazelwood, MO 63042
Pardon me if I sound grumpy, but life ain't easy for your average putt-putt windmill. Every day I spin and spin and spin, and if I do my job well, some sugar-addled, snot-nosed brat is gonna smack a golf ball off one of my blades. And for who knows how long, that was all anyone asked from a putt-putt course. I mean, I've got the initials of hundreds of young lovers carved into me; I bet half of 'em live in retirement homes now. But these days, apparently, that's no longer enough. Even putt-putt has to be all cool and futuristic. Look at Putting Edge. It's a glow-in-the-dark golf course. I mean, who needs a windmill when you're trying to sink a glowing ball in a glowing hole? Plus there's all the trippy glow-in-the-dark decorations. It's like being back in your dorm room. The cost is reasonable, too. General admission is $9.25, kids aged seven to twelve are $8.25 and five- and six-year-olds are $6.75. It's great for parties, corporate events and especially dates. It's dark, if you know what I'm saying. (You try carving your initials into something in the dark.)

We are engaged in manufacturing a wide range of lubrication instruments, that cater to the requirements of various industries. Designed using advanced technology, these instruments are appreciated for their high performance, long functional life and low maintenance. Further, we also undertake installation and after sales service for our range of instruments.
Systematrix Engg. Services has for the first time in India developed indigeneously 'lubrisys' metering cartridges with a difference. The earlier problems of leakages, not being able to understand if the metering cartridges are working are thing of the past. The developed metering cartridges have the advantage that there are no separate manifolds to hold the injectors hence no leakages. Indication pin is provided which moves up& down when the metering cartridges/ injectors are in operation helping the viewer understand the lubrication process even without removing the pipelines.
These injectors can be adjusted (up to 0.4 cc.) just by twist of screw which is never before feature will help in low stock management as different flows are achieved by the same injector, and as and when required. The injectors have 4 mounting hoes so that any two holes can be fixed at any position required. They can replace the older design cartridges, with no change in the pump, and are available separately without manifold required in range, starting from to 1to 16injectors in one block , which can be joined in parallel to other 'lubrisys' injectors. Other products as per requirement of the system and user can be designed and manufactured by us.
Apart from the fittings on the lubrication device and fittings, pipes, clamps, hose pipes etc., we offer a variety of accessories for the lubrication systems like the pressure switches, pressure gauges, level switches, indicator pins, filters, strainers, etc., for all types of lubrication be it grease oil or mist.
Hydraulic Systems And Accessories
Different types and sizes of power pack, and their accessories like pump, strainers, coolers, filters, pressure gauges, fittings, isolators, relief valve, pressure gauges etc
Single Point Lubricator
Those points which are few and on very dangerous or inaccessible places and are far away from other points and where piping is not feasible it is advised to use the single point lubricator, where in the lubricant is required to be filled periodically and with the requirement the lubricant is pushed in to the lubricating point with gravity or by spring load.
Other Services:
Manufactures, High Lubrication Pump for Oil and Grease Application. There Are Available in Hand, Pneumatic, Hydraulic and Motorised Driven.
It is Better to Have High Pressure Pumps for Grease Whereas Low Pressure Pumps Work Better in Oil. These Pumps Work Independently or in Conjunction to Lubricate Many Points in a System with the Progressive Type Systems, Multi Line Systems, Dual Line Systems or Single Line Systems as the Requirement May Be. Right Selection of Pump with the Flow is Necessary for the Proper Working of the System.
Grease Gun:
Grease Guns Are a Common Type of Pump and Most Portable and Adaptable. Grease Guns Are Generally Manual, but Pneumatic Grease Guns Make the Greasing Much Easier, Moreover, the Real Problem is That the Grease Leaks from the Side of Conventional Grease Gun Nipple Adapter, Special Solutions Are Incorporated to Solve These Problems. These Pumps Work in Conjunction with the Distributor Block to Give Lubrication to a Number of Points from a Single Grease Nipple with Ease.
Pneumatic Pumps
These Pumps Make It Possible for the System to Be Completely Automatic with the Help of a Solenoid Valve and Timer.
Electric Pumps
Electrically Driven Grease Pumps Are Available in Various Container Sizes and Flows. Containers Made of Metal Do Not Break and Are Provided with a Tell- Tale Rod for Easy Monitoring of the Lubricant Quantity in the Container, Which is Duly Machined and Spring Loaded for Easy Suction of Even High Viscosity Greases. the Pressure Rating is 3500 Psi, Thereby Making It Possible to Grease Even High Back-pressure Points with Ease.
We manufacture pneumatic barrel pump for various industrial use. This is an automatic Operational Air driven Pump. There is a telescopic shaft which is put in lubricant container and once air is given the pump starts and the piston in the cylinder moves up and down, due to which the lubricant is given out. The flow can be made to stop by the stopping the flow of air. Hence, this pump can be intermediate in operation by using a Timer and Solenoid Valve to 'ON' and 'OFF' the pump. For Grease a follower plate is required and a spring helps for suction of the grease, however, for oil this is not required. The length of the shaft is dependent on the height of the container on which the pump is mounted. The air pressure required to operate the pump is minimum 3 kg/cm3 and max 12 kg/cm3. The ratio of air to lubricant is 1: 25 i.e. if the air is say 5 kg/cm3 then the lubricant pressure (under Stress) will be 125 kg/cm3 hence this will flush out any contamination if present in the system.
This pneumatic barrel pump is widely used to transfer lubricant and also for systems where the lubricating points is large in number. These barrel pumps find application in all types of machines and equipment and also in garages for lubrication of vehicles. The flow can be adjusted by adjusting the flow of air. The supply of air has to be through a Filter and Lubricator, so that dirt, moisture etc. do not enter the pump and the pump works for a long life.
Systematrix Engg. Services have developed progressive distributor blocks for distributing oil or grease in even, metered quantity, to all points in a machine or plant. These progressive distributor blocks shall get the lubricant feed from the prime source like a pump (manual/ pneumatic/ motorized) or even simple grease gun and distribute it to the hard – to – reach, far away points. Each block has internal plungers which operate sequentially due to pressure of feed lubricant and deliver it to the corresponding outlets. The progressive distributor blocks are self monitoring. An indicating pin makes it possible to identify when the block is in operation without removal of piping. This pin can be coupled with proximity /limit switch for achieving different functions.
These progressive distributor blocks can be arranged in tandem as primary and secondary blocks depending on the location and number of lubricating points. The distributor blocks are available with outlets from 2 to 28 per block. Different flow per outlet is possible by different types of distributor blocks with solid or modular design, as per the requirement,
The typical application of the progressive type distributor blocks are Textile Machines, Steel Plant Machines,Over head Cranes, Sugar Industry, Hydraulic presses, bottling plants and any other special Purpose Machines.
Apart from the advantages of the Centralised lubrication system other advantages of the Progressive system over other systems are:
Electric Pumps are most easy for the operator and hence are becoming more popular. Unlike Manual Pump they do not require any force for operation and unlike Pneumatic Pump it does not require any compressor or Solenoid Valve for its operation It operates on Electricity which is freely available to all.
The Compact Electric Pump makes it possible to mount the same on a machine like any other pump and is a boon to the machine industry. The specification are 0.25cc per stroke and pump speed of 24 rpm. This pump can develop a pressure upto 400 bar.Special Pumps as per flow and pressure requirement are available on request.
Systematrix Engg Services manufactures high flow high pressure LUBRISYS Electrical pumps. As electricity is readily available, Electric Pumps are preferred over other types of Pumps. The LUBRISYS Electric Pump is with single outlet which has a huge flow 14cc/stroke, coupled with 30 rpm motor it gives about 450cc/min flow. The Pump can be fitted with a adjustable valve, so that the flow can be reduced and adjusted, as per the requirement. The manifold given along with pump has an inbuilt relief valve, which releases the excess grease back to the container.
The LUBRISYS Electric Pump can be used for Progressive Distributor System, making use of the LUBRISYS Adjustable Distributor and LUBRISYS Standard Progressive Distributor Blocks to have the exact amount of lubricant in a given point. It is useful for a Dual Line System due to it's high flow and high pressure capabilities, The manifold has a slot (female threading) for the return line from the LUBRISYS Reversing Valve/Change Over Valve. It is very popular for greasing different point in a machine which are not Centralised, as it is done with ease as the flow is large and electric supply is used to operate it.
