No not giving birth! Gave all that up a long time ago.
There has been a conflict of interest between writing and painting and I'm afraid painting has won. In addition, I have treated myself to an iPad and now use this much more than my laptop but, for writing, the touch typist in me deplores the constant jabbing, one key at a time.
The above picture was painted using pastels from a photograph by Suzanne Wallick. It is called Alaina After the Bath. I hope you like it. I was fortunate enough to be nominated the winner of a three month online Pastel competition by submitting this painting as my entry.
No not giving birth! Gave all that up a long time ago.

The highlight of our brief visit to Canterbury was our visit to Canterbury Cathedral. We were, unfortunately, confined by the two hour time limit on parking. It was very pleasant to be allowed to take photographs inside – a practice that is discouraged in some houses of worship for the reason, I am sure, that it encourages the purchase of postcards. The medieval stained glass is wonderful and we were both overwhelmed by the simple beauty and magnificence of the building.

George and I visited Canterbury on Tuesday as part of our visit to Kent. This house is near the cathedral and there is a quotation from Charles Dickens on the lintel `… a very old house bulging out over the road … leaning forward, trying to see who was passing on the narrow pavement below …` I figured if the house was in that state in Dickens` time it was not going to fall down any time soon!
We spent some time looking around Canterbury Cathedral – a lovely building. George told me he used to go there quite often when he was a boy. My last visit was in the 1950s and I remember wearing new shoes that rubbed blisters on my feet and we couldn`t find which car park where we had left the car. The Cathedral is a magnificent building and we could have spent much longer there but were constrained by the two-hour car parking limit.

George and I are at present staying in a very nice Edwardian hotel in Folkestone, Kent. Very near the Channel Tunnel. This visit was my birthday present to George. Why Kent? It was to be a trip down Memory Lane for him.
George grew up in the East End of London. He was born in 1939. His family, like many others, lived in rooms rented in a house that was shared by several other families. He played in the street or, after the war, on the bomb sites in his neighbourhood. Both his parents worked but money was tight.
Then, just after the end of the war in 1945, came an opportunity that was seized by many East End families – picking the hops which were grown in Kent to make beer.
The County of Kent was then known as The Garden of England. There were many farms and seasonal workers were needed to pick the fruit – apples, cherries and plums and to train the hop vines then to pick the hops when they were ready.
Whole East end families decamped for several months – George's family amongst them. This would get them all away from the smoke in London and give them much needed fresh air and sunshine. A truck would arrive at their home, which would then be loaded with a few essential pots, pans, clothes, children and adults. George's father continued working at his job in London but would join the family at weekends.
The families were accommodated in separate wooden or tin huts. No glass in the windows, just wooden shutters that could be pulled to in the rain or when it was dark. There were communal cook houses and the ranges were fired with long bundles of faggots ( wood) which were fed onto the fires, each family was supplied with the faggots – George tells me that in his hut, these were laid either on the ground or on the bunk beds, then covered with straw to make a mattress.
The children (including George) went to the village school and there were many fights between the local lads who resented being invaded by the 'Londiniums' as they called the boys. How quaint that they used Latin!
The work on the farm was hard and everyone (including the children) did what they could. George hated picking the hops – they stained the hands and the smell clung for days. His mother was deft and worked tirelessly pulling down the vines in a row and plucking the hops, stripping them clean of leaves or vine, into her basket. As for the fruit picking, she would climb a ladder to pick but then send George further up the tree to pick the fruit she could not reach. George loved this, especially the cherries, as he could eat as many as he wanted!
Good, quick workers were valued and families returned to the same farm year after year. Any dishonesty or stealing resulted in instant dismissal.
So yesterday we returned to Kent and this afternoon we visited the village where George stayed all those years ago. The school has
been demolished and replaced by a modern building on the other side of the road. The river he crossed by bridge to get to his school still runs alongside the road. We stopped for lunch in the aptly named pub The George – where his parents used to go for a drink at weekends. The top of the bar was garlanded with hop vines – that used to be a fairly common practice in pubs in the days before the smoking ban, as it was believed the hops absorbed the smoke. The landlord made us very welcome and the locals gave George news of the family that owned the farm and the farm manager.
We tried to venture up the muddy lane, past the oast houses where the hops were dried, but we were in danger of the car being stuck in mud, so had to turn around having satisfied ourselves that nothing was left of the old huts.
We did find what used to be the local shop, still on the main road but closed and derelict- looking and George recalled many journeys there to collect the paraffin needed for the lights and heater in the hut. I saw a grumpy eight year old, struggling manfully home with a full can banging against his legs as he walked.
Back to our hotel to dry out and get ready for a gourmet three course dinner served faultlessly on a table laid with crisp, white starched linen.
Were they the good old days? I wonder…

I am truly humbled – I had no idea that my disappearance from this blog would create so much trouble and concern. Please forgive me for being thoughtless.
Strangely we do form quite a close relationship with some of our virtual friends witnessed by the few of us who have stuck together through the thickset and thins of 360, Multiply, Yahoo and other sites. Some of us have found each other on Facebook and so the contact and care continues. Others? Yes we do wonder if they are surviving the various crises and challenges that life seems to throw their way.
So, having realised that I have been neglecting you, I reset my forgotten password and now intend to write more regular posts and catch up with you all.
A quick update: George and I are well, busy as ever with our house sitting and me with my painting. Daisy-dog is still visited about four times a year and, although now five years old, will still steal any food that is left within her considerable reach! Like most Labradors, she lives to eat.
We are to become great-grandparents for the first time next February – a very exciting time as a new generation of our family enters this world.
I've progressed to an iPad but still use my laptop and wish I was using it now as trying to touch type on an iPad keyboard is not the best way of doing things. The iPad was a consolation prize to myself for a cancelled trip to Florence, Italy … But now I am planning to make that trip in 2014! And will I relinquish the iPad? Of course not!
Yours aye,

Whilst I was housesitting I browsed through the hundreds of books on the shelves in nearly every room and came across this poem, which I had not read before. It made me cry because it reminded me of my beloved Jamie-dog who, sadly, I had to have put to sleep (due to kidney failure) in 2009.
I have done mostly what men do,
And pushed it out of my mind;
But I can`t forget, if I wanted to,
Four-feet trotting behind.
Day after day, the whole day through
Wherever my road inclined –
Four-feet said `I am coming with you!`
And trotted along behind.
Now I must go by some other round –
which I shall never find –
Somewhere that does not carry the sound
Of Four-feet trotting behind.
Rudyard Kipling – 1865-1936
So we are back home for a couple of weeks – then off to London for a while (have to look for exhibitions I want to see there). I will be posting and catching up with you all soon and telling you of our adventures.

Broad-ranging information on frequently asked questions regarding Porsche Travel Club trips is provided here.
Please select the category on which you would like further information. Please also feel free to contact us personally on +49 (0) 711 911-23360.
Can I pick out a car for myself?
On our trips, you can drive a Boxster, Cayman, 911, Cayenne, Panamera or Macan. On certain occasions, you can request a specific model, e.g. a cabriolet or a coupé. We try to accommodate all requests but please note that we only have limited vehicle availability.
Can I swap vehicles during the trip?
Yes, this is possible to a degree. If you speak to your trip guide in the evening, he will be able to arrange this for the following day.
How high is the retention in the case of insurance claims?
Before setting off, you are required to sign a contract of loan for use. The retention for our vehicles currently stands at 2500 euros for all trips. In exceptional cases, a different retention can be declared.
Is smoking in the car permitted?
No, our vehicles are no-smoking vehicles. We ensure adequate breaks during the trip, however.
Can I hire a vehicle from you that is not going to be used for a Travel Club event?
No, we regret that this is not possible. Please contact the usual car hire companies.
Is it also possible for me to use my own Porsche?
Unfortunately it is not possible to participate with an own car on a Porsche Travel Club tour.
How do I get to Ludwigsburg, Leipzig or Zuffenhausen?
Please find the addresses here.
What form does a "guided trip" take?
Your trip guide heads a convoy of around 5 vehicles, guiding them safely to the destination. He knows the area well and shows you the most attractive stretches.
Can I drive on my own, instead of in the convoy?
No. One of the special features of Porsche Travel Club trips is driving in a convoy. Our trip guides know the best routes and guide you safely to your destination. This saves you any inconvenience in the form of map reading or diversions, for example.
Are there motorway stretches, too?
Yes, nearly every trip involves one or two stretches on the motorway, whereby we choose a good combination of attractive country roads and motorway stretches in order to provide you with a good all-round impression of the vehicle.
Roughly how many kilometres are covered each day; when do we arrive at the hotel?
The distances covered depend on the trip concerned. We usually aim to arrive at the hotel at 5 p.m., so as to leave you adequate time before the evening meal.
Can customers determine the route themselves in the case of incentive trips?
Incentive customers can, of course, influence the route to be taken on the trip. We will endeavour to realise your wishes. The Porsche Travel Club will be pleased to advise you in this connection.
Do you have hotel tips for a stay on the night before the trip?
We will be pleased to arrange accommodation for you before and/or after your trip. We can contact various hotels in the surrounding areas, according to your wishes. Please let us know your requirements.
What luggage shall I take with me?
At travels of 3 days and more a luggage shuttle is included in the package. For our Porsche Shortbreaks we kindly ask you to consider the limited loading space in the vehicles when packing.
What kind of clothes should I bring?
Bring comfortable clothing. The dress code for dinner is business casual. Don't forget to pack comfortable, flat shoes. Flip-flops and open shoes are generally not recommended for driving.
Is the Porsche Travel Club a closed club?
No, the Porsche Travel Club is not a members-only club in the conventional sense. It is open to anyone (whether or not they drive a Porsche) and stands for driving experiences of the very highest standard.
Does "Minimum number of participants XX persons" mean that I have to register this amount of people?
No, this just means that the trip will only take place if minimum this number of participants has registered. We will notify you in good time if the trip cannot go ahead (see terms and conditions for further information).
What is the maximum number of participants for the trips?
The maximum number of participants varies in each individual case. Please contact us if you require this information.
Is it possible to book a different date to the dates specified for the trip?
Groups can set the date for the trip themselves, provided that sufficient vehicles are available. Please let us know your requirements. We regret that we are unable to offer any special dates for individual customers.

Incident Response and Management
Protect the organization's information, as well as its reputation, by developing and implementing an incident response infrastructure (e.g., plans, defined roles, training, communications, management oversight) for quickly discovering an attack and then effectively containing the damage, eradicating the attacker's presence, and restoring the integrity of the network and systems.
Why Is This Control Critical?
Cyber incidents are now just part of our way of life. Even large, well-funded, and technically sophisticated enterprises struggle to keep up with the frequency and complexity of attacks. The question of a successful cyber-attack against an enterprise is not "if" but "when".
When an incident occurs, it is too late to develop the right procedures, reporting, data collection, management responsibility, legal protocols, and communications strategy that will allow the enterprise to successfully understand, manage, and recover. Without an incident response plan, an organization may not discover an attack in the first place, or, if the attack is detected, the organization may not follow good procedures to contain damage, eradicate the attacker's presence, and recover in a secure fashion. Thus, the attacker may have a far greater impact, causing more damage, infecting more systems, and possibly exfiltrate more sensitive data than would otherwise be possible were an effective incident response plan in place.
How to Implement This Control
|Ensure that there are written incident response procedures that include a definition of personnel roles for handling incidents. The procedures should define the phases of incident handling.
|Quick win
|Assign job titles and duties for handling computer and network incidents to specific individuals.
|Quick win
|Define management personnel who will support the incident handling process by acting in key decision-making roles.
|Quick win
|Devise organization-wide standards for the time required for system administrators and other personnel to report anomalous events to the incident handling team, the mechanisms for such reporting, and the kind of information that should be included in the incident notification. This reporting should also include notifying the appropriate Community Emergency Response Team in accordance with all legal or regulatory requirements for involving that organization in computer incidents.
|Quick win
|Assemble and maintain information on third-party contact information to be used to report a security incident (i.e., maintain an e-mail address of firstname.lastname@example.com or have a web page http://organization.com/security).
|Quick win
|Publish information for all personnel, including employees and contractors, regarding reporting computer anomalies and incidents to the incident handling team. Such information should be included in routine employee awareness activities.
|Quick win
|Conduct periodic incident scenario sessions for personnel associated with the incident handling team to ensure that they understand current threats and risks, as well as their responsibilities in supporting the incident handling team.
CSC 18 Procedures and Tools
After defining detailed incident response procedures, the incident response team should engage in periodic scenario-based training, working through a series of attack scenarios fine-tuned to the threats and vulnerabilities the organization faces. These scenarios help ensure that team members understand their role on the incident response team and also help prepare them to handle incidents.
A full treatment of this topic is beyond the scope of the Critical Security Controls. However, the actions in CSC 18 provide specific, high-priority steps that can improve enterprise security, and should be a part of any comprehensive incident and response plan.

CSC 18 System Entity Relationship Diagram
Organizations will find that by diagramming the entities necessary to fully meet the goals defined in this control, it will be easier to identify how to implement them, test the controls, and identify where potential failures in the system might occur.
A control system is a device or set of devices used to manage, command, direct, or regulate the behavior of other devices or systems. In this case, we are examining the incident handling process and how prepared organizations are in the event that an incident occurs. The following list of the steps in the above diagram shows how the entities work together to meet the business goal defined in this control. The list also delineates each of the process steps in order to help identify potential failure points in the overall control.
Step 1: Incident handling policies and procedures educate workforce members as to their responsibilities during an incident
Step 2: Some workforce members designated as incident handlers
Step 3: Incident handling policies and procedures educate management as to their responsibilities during an incident
Step 4: Incident handlers participate in incident handling scenario tests
Step 5: Incident handlers report incidents to management
Step 6: The organization's management reports incidents to outside law enforcement and the appropriate computer emergency response team, if necessary.

Forum post
I have two repeating fields which I want to combine into one. I tried by concatenating but that added repeating field 1 of the first repeating field to repeating field 1 of the second repeating field.
Does anyone know how to do this simply within the same file?
Or is the only way to export, use a text editor and import, or use a script (which I can use but I'm not skilled enough to write this one).
Any help gratefully received.
Best Answer
Unfortunately it didn't work as I neglected to tell you that I'm still using fp7. I have fp9 but haven't upgraded because of computer issues (which will soon be solved).
The List function is not implemented in fp7.
I'll try to figure another way around it because you've given me a good start.

Making Copies
How the Xerox machine changed the world.
Sep 20, 2004, Vol. 10, No. 02 • By BRIAN MURRAY
Copies in Seconds
DAVID OWEN first wrote about xerography in a 1986 Atlantic Monthly article that characterized the Xerox machine as one of those extraordinary twentieth-century devices we take almost entirely for granted. Now, almost twenty years later, Owen returns to the subject in Copies in Seconds, an oddly engaging account of how one man, Chester Carlson, and an unknown company, Haloid, created "the biggest communication breakthrough since Guttenberg." This unlikely device, Owen writes, gave "ordinary people an extraordinary means of preserving and sharing all sorts of information, and it placed the exchange of complicated ideas within the reach of almost everyone."
The Xerox machine hit the market in the 1960s, and almost overnight it became so pervasive--so central to our daily routines--that it's now almost impossible to imagine life without it. Of course, if the Xerox machine hadn't been invented, we'd have "fewer lawyers, larger forests, smaller landfills"--as well as fewer filing cabinets, cleaner offices, and shorter meetings. And schoolchildren everywhere would still be dizzily inhaling the scent of methyl alcohol that clung to blue-inked copies cranked out on ditto machines. More than forty years ago, Marshall McLuhan hailed the Xerox machine, predicting its potent and potentially subversive force; and indeed, in the former Soviet Union, as Owen recalls, where "totalitarian rulers maintained their power by monopolizing access to information, copiers were guarded more closely than computers, and individual copies were numbered, so they could be traced."
The hero of Copies in Seconds is Chester Carlson, a man of unusual modesty and singular drive. Born in Seattle in 1906, Carlson began life without prospects. His father, although trained as a barber, was too sick to work and spent most of his adult life in bed, wracked with pain. He suffered from both tuberculosis and arthritis of the spine. Photographs, Owen notes, show a man who "looked eighty by the time he was forty-five."
Carlson's mother was more buoyant but no more fortunate, suffering from both tuberculosis and malaria among other afflictions. Carlson would recall sensing, at age five, that he was "poorer, more vulnerable" than other children. By the time he was eight, Carlson was working several jobs to help keep his family afloat. His family lived in "decrepit houses," and when he was seventeen, after his mother died, Carlson lived with his father in a converted chicken coop with a bare, concrete floor.
Carlson's resilience saved him, along with help from his mother's family. One of his uncles, a high-school principal, encouraged Carlson to enroll in a work-study program at Riverside Junior College in San Bernardino, sixty miles from Los Angeles. When he wasn't studying, Carlson worked in a concrete plant, a cannery, and a restaurant kitchen.
URGED ON BY HIS TEACHERS, Carlson then entered the California Institute of Technology, studying chemistry, physics, mechanics, and electricity. Carlson's work ethic was impeccable, but in this case his timing couldn't have been worse. He graduated in 1930, a bad year for anyone looking for work. The Depression was deepening, and unemployment was at an all-time high. So he moved to New York, where his aunt offered him a place to live and Bell Telephone offered him a job. Carlson worked as a patent clerk for the phone company before taking a similar position with P.R. Mallory and Company, a maker of electrical and electronic components that, in later years, also produced Duracell batteries.
Precise, introverted, patient, polite: Carlson was well-suited for clerical work. But he was also ambitious. In one notebook he sketched his dream house: an "idealized country estate," complete with an English farmhouse, orchards, a corral, and a fishing pond. And he itched to invent, filling notebooks with useful, if youthful ideas: a see-through toothpaste tube, a toothbrush with replacement bristles, a raincoat with gutters.
The tedium of patent work prompted Carlson's great idea. Patent applications were necessarily sent to various readers--a task that, in the 1930s, required considerable typing and retyping and vast stacks of carbon paper. And if Carlson needed a copy of a drawing in a patent application, he had to send it to an outside company that owned a state-of-the-art duplicating device like a Photostat or Rectigraph machine. Photostat copying, Owen notes, involved "coated papers and messy chemicals"; a Rectigraph machine, was "a camera the size of a kitchen stove, with a big black bellows for adjusting the focus." Carlson wanted a copier that would fit in an office, "where you could bring a document to it, push it in a slot, push a button, and get a copy out."

Voyager Braille display and Supernova combine to make a winning package.
In the interest of extending the companies' longstanding relationship throughout the U.S. market, Dolphin Computer Access Inc., has teamed up with Optelec, the North American division of the Tieman Group, to offer blind and visually impaired computer users fantastic deals on the Voyager series of Braille displays.
From June 1 through September 30, 2004, Optelec is offering either the Braille Voyager 44 or 70 cell, Braille display complete with Dolphin's Supernova reader magnifier for the one-off price of $4,995 for the 44 cell model and $9,295 for the 70 cell model, saving customers over 15percent off each product's list prices. The package combines the industry's most innovative Braille display with the world's only combined screen reader and magnifier, in a single package. Magnification, speech or Braille - or all three? This package gives the PC user endless choices; so whatever the visual condition, this winning combination is all one needs to effectively integrate screen reading access and PC usage in educational settings, the workplace, or from the comfort of one's home.
"The best hardware device requires the best software partner, and Optelec's found such a partner in Dolphin Computer Access", stated Larry Lewis, Optelec's Vice President of Blindness Sales. "The Voyager series with Supernova Version 6 is the perfect combination for all market segments. We wanted to create a stellar package that would be robust, stable, reliable and useful - offering incomparable functionality and the best financial deal for the customer. Supernova is the only software that allows users to select between a screen reader, a screen magnifier and Braille output in a single installation. Supernova 6.0 gives to those of us who are blind a superior alternative to any other screen reader currently on the market, but with the bonus of magnification for those who need it. This software combined with our Voyager Braille display means that blind computer users now have more intuitive options for accessing and controlling their PCs through a Braille display with industry standard Windows functionality effortlessly and efficiently."
Dan Moore, Vice President of Sales for Dolphin, said, "This is an excellent opportunity for both our organizations to make a real difference to the lives of blind computer users by providing a high quality, complete package at a great price. The beauty of Supernova is that it can be networked or run from a server and is the only combined screen reader and magnifier that comes with support for Windows terminal server and Citrix Metaframe environments, ideal for students who must use a campus-wide network or employees who must interact with a company network. This is a great deal for blind and visually impaired computer users, saving them nearly $1400 compared to purchasing the products individually and offers a perfect solution, whatever your level of sight."
Supernova helps Nottingham City Council provide Inclusion for all their staff.
Nottingham City Council, in the heart of the East Midlands, employs over 14,000 people directly or indirectly, across the region. The Council operates a policy of inclusion, which means that no one is discriminated against or disadvantaged because of disability and many new systems and procedures have been implemented to ensure that all their employees have the means to work effectively.
In June 2001 The Social Services department upgraded their information systems to CareFirst. Developed by OLM using Oracle, CareFirst is used extensively across Social Services departments in over 75 local authorities in the UK.
Nottingham City Council has predominantly deployed CareFirst on a Citrix MetaFrame network, which allows for remote access to the database via thin clients (within a terminal server environment). A thin client is the term used for a simple hardware device which relies on most of the function of the system being within the server. Generally thin clients have no processing capabilities, and are merely connection points using monitors, keyboards and mice in order to input data to the server, or to view data on the server.
Visually impaired staff at the Council had been using an alternative screen reader software to access their systems but this could not function in a thin client environment. This has meant that 'chubby client' accounts (with full processing capabilities), maintained through a Novell network, had to be provided to enable access. The drawback of this solution was that Oracle software, including all CareFirst forms and reports, had to be installed locally. This made on site maintenance of these machines very costly and time consuming, especially as the users are spread across the region. This also caused problems at more remote sites where available network bandwidth was low. Novell sessions are very bandwidth dependent and response times can be very slow and even unworkable.
A further complication arose when OLM developed MyCareFirst which has a graphical front end which could not be accessed using their existing screen reader. This meant that the Authority was unable to deploy this new development.
This led to Nottingham City and the RNIB approaching Dolphin Computer Access to evaluate Supernova and to see if a solution to MyCareFirst could be found.
Dolphin was the first access software company to develop a screen reader magnifier that was capable of working within a terminal server environment. Generally, a screen reader needs to be installed on a system which has its own processing capabilities in order for the speech output to function correctly. However, both Supernova and Hal from Dolphin, offer a screen reader capable of functioning fully in a terminal server environment. Not only do Supernova and Hal offer speech output but they also offer Braille support for blind computer users and Supernova also includes a screen magnifier.
In order to successfully map Supernova to the My CareFirst program various difficulties had to be overcome. The Oracle operating platform gave all the controls the same class name and the same control ID so differentiating between them was very difficult. Edit areas were created dynamically when in focus, so everything was picked up as incidental text apart from the one active edit area (normally all edit areas are detectable whether they are active or not). Selectable checkboxes had their labels to the left instead of the Windows convention of having the labels to the right. There was nothing displayed on the screen to show that a checkbox had the focus (normally in Windows a dotted outline is present around the label for a checkbox to show the focus area). Some edit areas had a special button associated with them which needed to be identified to the user as soon as these edit areas were in focus.
With the help of the RNIB and Nottingham City, Dolphin's technical support team were able to create a map that would allow Supernova to function with CareFirst. Using it's virtual focus features Supernova could be configured to successfully access the new My CareFirst program.
The results were excellent
"The support from Dolphin was exceptional. Without Dolphin we would not have been able to consider fully deploying CareFirst in a thin client environment. Additionally the solution they have developed will enable us implement MyCareFirst across the whole department" Said Tim Freer, at Nottingham City Council. Tim continues "Relocation of blind staff to areas of the authority with lower bandwidth would mean additional investment of around £15,000 per user without the Dolphin solution. With Supernova installed on the network users can work from any Nottingham Council location using the Citrix network, users can also 'hot desk' within the premises, by using individual profiles that are saved on the server. The other beauty of Supernova is that it combines a screen reader and a screen magnifier, as well as offering Braille support, this means that it satisfies users that are partially sighted as well as blind users."
Nottingham City Council have now committed to Supernova as their preferred option and purchased licences for all visually impaired staff. The Council is also recommending that The CareFirst Access Consortium adopts Supernova to be an officially supported access product.

Average length of prep time for LSAT
May 25, 2008, 07:20:49 AM »
From reading the posts of many in this forum, it seems that my efforts to cram all of that LSAT learning into one month may have been unusual and not recommended. (Particularly for someone who is not an "LSAT natural".)
How long did you take to prepare for the LSAT? If you're not shy and you wish to contribute honestly, please add to the thread:
the length of time you spent preparing;
your diagnostic/initial LSAT score;
your method(s) of preparation;
your dedication to your LSAT test preparation/discipline; and
the score that you achieved on the big day.
This information could prove to be useful (inspirational, even) to people struggling with modest LSAT scores to date as they search for optimal preparation strategies. Yes, I know that people learn and test in wildly different ways, but it can't hurt to help set some goalposts, guidelines, benchmarks, etc., even if the stories are anecdotal and the sample is not statistically significant.

I checked eight months - I've taken the test twice(one scored, one unscored) and will be taking it a third time in October. The first exam I studied for about 2 months and the second exam I studied for a little more than 2 months.
I scored a 167 in February after a first diagnostic of a 151 and after taking the test but canceling the score in September. I don't have the time to go for more than 3 hours per day, but I tend to put in 12-15 hours a week. The 8 month figure is the cumulative time I expect after the October exam - beginning in June I'll start putting in more regular time.
I'm completely self study using the LGB and LR bibles along with every preptest available from LSAC. This next time around I'm going to briefly review the bibles and begin sections, unless I find I don't feel comfortable with the material and have to go through the books again. I'm going to use the retake advice from LSATdiscussion.com as a guide to my retake studying, with a large focus going into RC, which I've never felt confident about. I initially purchased the ExamKrackers book, which isn't worth it based on what I've read so far, and I also picked up a critical reading book Jeffort recommended in a previous thread - I don't recall the book as I'm out of town and not at my desk - but I picked up a copy and it was pretty cheap at Amazon.com.
Discipline wise I found studying 2-3 hours a day isn't that big of a deal for me and is quite easy if you fit it into a routine. I would never go seven days a week, and I always have at least one off day a week, sometimes two. If I don't study for two days in a row, I begin to feel guilty, much like I do when I don't exercise, and avoiding that feeling keeps me motivated. So much like exercise, I set aside a block of time specifically for studying the LSAT.

As a preface to my prep story, let me say that I wasn't feeling real ambitious in my pursuit of an LSAT score. My general goal was to get a score that would put me in the hunt at some of the better state schools in the South/Southwest. I wasn't trying to get into a T14 school, just a school that performed well in its state with the eventual goal of making my way to Florida or Texas (no state income tax + lawyers salary = the good life in my book). What I did worked for me and I landed where I really wanted to be, but that doesn't mean that anyone else should do what I did. I'm a law student, not a role model.
I spent a couple of months slowly poking at LSAT prep stuff, but only probably about a month doing anything of note. I'd honestly be surprised if I spent more than 24 hours on test prep.
For actual preparation, I read a book, took some practice LSATs, and looked at the prep materials LSAC provides on their website. The book was from some third rate test prep company (I can't remember who it was by, I gave it away a while ago) and I got it at Borders for around $20. It was kind of helpful, but not really worth the time or money. My practice LSATs were just old (but the newest available) LSATs that I ordered from LSAC. After I took them, I went back and figured out (as best I could) why I got answers right or wrong, which was very helpful. The test prep materials from LSAC's website were pretty helpful. The best one was sort of a mini-test that had maybe 10 questions in each section followed by a breakdown of why each possible answer was right or wrong.
After I read the book, I took my first practice LSAT and scored a 153. I wasn't overly happy with it, but I realized it wasn't too bad of a score either and I could get into somewhere with it (I also have a really good GPA). After that, I read LSAC's prep materials, looked over my first test, and took my second test a few weeks later. I scored a 161 on that one, which I thought was really good.
About a week later, I took the actual LSAT in June of last year and scored a 156. What do you know, right in the middle of my two prep tests (though rounded down, sadly). I guess I got what I asked for because that score made me competitive at most places, but not a sure thing anywhere that I really wanted to go. By some grace of god, I ended up at Florida State, so things worked out for me.
In retrospect, I could have been A LOT more dedicated to the cause, and I think a prep course would have probably been nice for the analytical reasoning questions if nothing else (that's where I missed about half of the questions I missed), but like I said, what I did worked for me.
I'mma stay bumpin' till I bump my head on my tomb.

Last June I spent about four weeks preparing, the first two weeks I used bad prep materials (ones that use made up questions) and then did the LGB and the last two I spent taking about 10 practice tests and doing sections. I never took a cold diagnostic but the first test (and lowest score I got) was a 169. The last two weeks I spent taking 10 practice tests and doing random sections as needed. I was pretty dedicated but I didn't really know what I was doing so some of it was wasted time. I ended up with a -11 which was my average from practice, which was a 167 (my average was a 171).
I prepped again for the December test but ended up canceling because I wasn't feeling well. All I did for that was about 10 more prep tests and went through the LRB. I'm taking the test AGAIN this June and now I finally feel like I know what I'm doing. The first three weeks I went through the bibles again (much more helpful the second time around) and also took one prep test. The last three weeks I have scheduled about 3 tests a week and some sections here and there as well. Hopefully third time is a charm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does NoteBook run on OS X El Capitan?
Yes, the current NoteBook release runs on El Capitan (except for Clipping Services, which El Capitan has disabled). NoteBook can run on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, or El Capitan. 64-bit Intel processor required.
I own NoteBook 3 - how do I upgrade to NoteBook 4?
If you purchased NoteBook 3 from the Circus Ponies online store or a boxed copy from a retailer within the last 12 months (i.e. on or after May 6, 2013), your upgrade is free. A NoteBook 4 license key has been added to your customer record - use the "Retrieve License Key" link on our support page to have your NoteBook 4 key e-mailed to you, and then download the NoteBook 4 software from our downloads page. If you purchased NoteBook 3 in the last 12 months through a bundle or promotion such as Productive Macs, you are not eligible for a free upgrade.
If you purchased NoteBook 3 from the Circus Ponies Online Store or a boxed copy from a retailer more than 12 months ago, you can upgrade to NoteBook 4 for just $19.95. This is an introductory price that will increase at some point in the future. To purchase the upgrade, add a copy of the NoteBook 3 to NoteBook 4 upgrade to your cart. You will be prompted at checkout to enter your NoteBook 3 key. If you don't have your NoteBook 3 key handy you can use the "Retrieve License Key" link on our support page to have your key e-mailed to you.
If you purchased NoteBook 3 from the Mac App Store, please contact us at email@example.com.
Can I open a NoteBook 4-saved Notebook in NoteBook 3?
No. NoteBook 4 uses a different file format that NoteBook 3 does not understand.
I own NoteBook 2.1 - can I purchase an upgrade to get NoteBook 4?
We released NoteBook 2.1 almost 10 years ago. Please purchase a full copy of NoteBook 4 through our online store.
How does licensing work if I purchase NoteBook through the Mac App Store? Will I receive a NoteBook license key after purchasing a copy there?
For copies of NoteBook purchased through the Mac App Store, all licensing is handled by Apple. You will not receive a NoteBook license key from us or from the Mac App Store. When you launch your Mac App Store copy of NoteBook, the Mac App Store will determine if NoteBook is licensed to run on your computer.
I purchased NoteBook through the Mac App Store - how do I enable clipping?
Apple's "sandboxing" requirements means we had to remove clipping from the Mac App Store version of NoteBook. If this issue seriously impacts you please contact support.
Does NoteBook run on the iPad?
Yes, using the iPad version of NoteBook.
Can I sync my Notebooks between my Mac and iPad?
Yes you can - NoteBook uses the Dropbox file sharing service to wirelessly sync your Notebooks between your devices.
How do I enable Dropbox support in NoteBook on the Mac?
Unlike on the iPad, on the Mac there is no setting to change to begin using NoteBook with Dropbox. To upload your Notebooks to your Dropbox account, just move them to your Dropbox folder (typically named "Dropbox" in your home folder). That's it! When you open a Notebook that's located in your Dropbox folder, make a change, and save, that change will be sent automatically to the Dropbox service.
Does NoteBook support iCloud?
NoteBook does not support iCloud. Apple has restricted iCloud access to copies of apps that are purchased directly through the Mac App Store, which leaves out anyone who bought NoteBook directly from us, the Apple retail stores, as part of a bundle, or elsewhere. Via Dropbox, you can access your Notebooks on multiple Macs or iPads without restriction. Should Apple lift this restriction we will consider supporting iCloud.
Does NoteBook run on Windows?
No it does not - please let us know (via our support page or info e-mail address) if you want to see a Windows version of NoteBook.
Is there an iPhone or iPod Touch companion application for NoteBook?
No, but know users want one. Please stay tuned....
I lost my license key - how can I get it back?
If you purchased NoteBook from our online store, or purchased the boxed version of NoteBook and registered your license key with us, just use the license key retrieval form to have your license key e-mailed to you.
After I purchase a license from your website or from a retailer, will the Notebooks I made during my trial still be available?
Yes. Once you add your permanent license to NoteBook's License Manager, NoteBook will continue from where it left off in your demo trial.
I have purchased a license - how do I update the software from the demo trial to my permanent license?
If NoteBook says that your demo trial has expired, click the button to go to the License Manager. If your trial has not expired, choose NoteBook -> License Manager from the menus. Click Add in the window that appears, then enter your name and permanent license key.
I get a message that this Notebook appears to be open on another computer - what's going on?
When you open a Notebook, NoteBook writes a small "lock" file into it. If someone else tries to open that Notebook (let's say it lives on the network somewhere), their copy of NoteBook will see this lock file and tell them that the Notebook appears to be open already. It's important to detect when two people try to work with the same Notebook at the same time, because the Notebook can become corrupted as they save their changes. When you close the Notebook, the lock file gets removed. If NoteBook or your computer crashes while a Notebook is open, NoteBook will not have had a chance to remove the lock file. The next time you open that Notebook, NoteBook will see the lock file and think that the Notebook is open in some other copy of NoteBook on some other computer. Because it's not really open anywhere else, it's safe for you to choose the "Open to Make Changes" option in the panel.
I purchased a new computer - will I need a new license to continue running NoteBook?
No, you will not need a new license - NoteBook license keys are not tied to any particular computer. Once you've transferred your account using the OS X migration assistant, you should be able to immediately begin using NoteBook on your new computer.
Help! I copied NoteBook and all of my files to another machine, and now NoteBook says that my license is invalid.
The files that NoteBook creates to hold your license information can become invalid if they are copied or moved. Launch NoteBook and click "Review Licenses" in the panel that appears. In the next panel you'll see your existing/invalid license - select and delete it. Next, click Add License and re-enter your license information (you will need your original license key).
Drag-and-drop copies files into a Notebook - is it possible to create a link to a file instead?
Yes. To create a link, drag a document from the Finder over your Notebook, and then press the Control key. When you do, the cursor will change into the "link" cursor (you may have to jiggle the mouse a little to get it to appear). When you release the document, NoteBook creates a link to the original. Linked attachments look just like regular attachments that have been copied into a Notebook, except for a little link arrow in the lower-left corner of the icon/image. You can make linking the default action through the Drag-and-Drop section in NoteBook's Preferences panel.
I can e-mail Page Bundles to other NoteBook users, but when I send an entire Notebook the recipient can't open it. How can I send whole Notebooks?
If you experience problems sending whole Notebooks via e-mail, you can use the Finder's File -> Compress feature to compress the Notebook into a single document that mail systems won't mangle. Page Bundles are immune because they are already compressed - we couldn't do the same for whole Notebooks, unfortunately.
What is your refund policy?
For purchases made from the Circus Ponies Online Store, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you need to request a refund. For purchases made through the Apple App Store or the Mac App Store, please contact Apple for a refund (developers are not given access to Apple's purchasing systems so we cannot reverse Apple App Store or Mac App Store transactions).
How do I transfer Notebooks between my computer and iPad?If you are Dropbox user you can upload and download Notebooks between your iPad and your Dropbox account. If not, here are the instructions to transfer Notebooks via iTunes:
- Connect your iPad to your computer and select it in iTunes.
- Click the Apps tab.
- Look for the File Sharing section at the bottom of the Apps pane and select NoteBook in the list.
- Drag a Notebook to the list of Notebooks at the right, or click the Add button to browse for Notebooks on your computer. Note: if you are using a Windows computer, Zip the Notebook before adding it to iTunes.
- After iTunes copies the Notebook to your iPad, the Notebook will appear in the My Notebooks screen in NoteBook for iPad.
Does NoteBook for iPad support iCloud?NoteBook does not support iCloud, but you can sync your Notebooks between your Mac and iPad via Dropbox.
NoteBook for iPad doesn't recognize the password I've assigned to my Notebook - what's going on?Please open and save your Notebook using NoteBook 3.0.1 or later before transferring it to your iPad.
How do I delete a page?To delete a page, turn to a Divider page and tap the page you want to delete, then tap it a second time to bring up the Editing menu. The Editing menu contains the Delete command.
I have a Bluetooth keyboard - can I use common keyboard shortcuts like Cmd-B to bold text?Unfortunately no. Even though your Bluetooth keyboard has a Command key (and other modifiers), iOS does not currently support common desktop shortcuts like Cmd-B for bolding text.
I registered from a demo trial of NoteBook but have not received anything for my iPad - what is going on?The demo trial registration available from our website only applies to the Mac version of NoteBook. There is no demo trial available for NoteBook on iPad.
Does NoteBook for iPad support inline tables?Unfortunately no. Apple does not provide a multi-font text editor, or one that renders inline tables.

Introduction to Health Services Research : A Self-Study Course
Researchers also attended to the quality of medical care during the pre-war years.
Dr. Cabot employed new diagnostic techniques in his practice with patients, techniques that were sometimes ignored by his patients.
In 1914, Dr. Codman developed a system to monitor surgical outcomes (the "end result"), one of the first attempts in outcomes research (Flook, 1973). Codman believed that every patient should be followed up "long enough to determine whether the treatment has been successful, and then to inquire 'if not, why not?' with a view to preventing similar failures..." (Codman, 1934).
His efforts to standardize hospital care led to the establishment of the American College of Surgeons and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (later JCAHO) (McLendon, 1990) .
In 1925 Edgar Sydenstricker (1881-1936) conducted an early epidemiological research study documenting the incidence of illness caused primarily by nutritional deficiencies in the general population of Hagerstown, Maryland.

The high cost of housing in the Los Angeles area has many Angelinos opting for lower priced new homes in the counties to the east and commuting long distances on often-jammed freeways to get their jobs in L.A. Angelinos reportedly have the nation's longest cummutes and worst traffic.

Holland Performing Arts
A collaboration between HDR and Polshek Partnership Architects
HDR and Polshek Partnership collaborate to build a light-filled concert hall that invigorates a prominent downtown Omaha site
By Russell Fortmeyer
The first thing you notice about Omaha's new Holland Center for the Performing Arts is that you can see right through it. Walls of glass along the ground floor lobby help to enliven the Gene Leahy Mall, a flowing civic park across the street developed in part by Lawrence Halprin in the 1970s to renew the city and reconnect it with the river.
In a bid to drive downtown Omaha's continuing resettlement and to bolster a thriving fine arts scene, a former Swanson's foods plant was demolished to make way for the Holland, a $95 million home for the Omaha Symphony. Nearly 85 percent of that money came from private fund-raising, testament to the community's commitment to having the arts downtown.
The symphony previously performed at Omaha's Orpheum Theater, a historic, 1920s-era proscenium stage it shared with the opera and Broadway-style touring companies. With its new home at the Holland, Nebraska's premier symphony has expanded its programming with more performances each year and the ability to offer jazz and pop music in a smaller recital hall with a more flexible seating arrangement.
The Holland's design was a collaboration between the architecture and engineering giant HDR, which is headquartered in Omaha, and New York–based Polshek Partnership Architects. HDR and Polshek developed the concert and recital halls as discrete rectangular elements within a topography inspired by the rolling landscape of southeast Nebraska.
The ground floor is enclosed in half-inch, highly transparent, low-iron glass panels to attract street life to the activity within. Aluminum track in the floor anchors the glass, while a fin system minimally supports it at the ceiling. Exterior materials include a zinc rain-screen system, a painted metal-panel system, prepatinated copper panels, and a 1.5-inch-thick French limestone cladding clipped to the concert hall's concrete structure.
The architects created a "floating wedge" element, clad in zinc panels, which acts as the main design strategy for the hall's exterior presence and for the interior lobby and circulation.
Once in the light-filled interior, visitors find a clerestory reminiscent of Vienna's revered Musikverein, an intentional reference incorporated by the architects following a planning trip to visit European concert halls. Working with the Chicago-based acoustical consultant Kirkegaard and Associates, the architects shaped the hall as an ovoid modification of the classic shoe-box volume, with 738 seats on the orchestra level, 278 on a mezzanine, 576 in the balcony, and 88 loose chairs in side boxes.

"The combination of our industry-leading seismic acquisition teams will better position our company in the North American marketplace, as we integrate our experience, knowledge and deployable technology," added Crowley.

24.99 Tops19.99 BottomsDri-release Merino blend Call your nearest Costco and ask if they can search for the following product number shirt = 646257, Pants = 646258. If they don't have at the branch you call, ask them to search the closest stores.Costco phone tip: Select speak to an administrator in the first set of phone prompts.
That sounds like a really good deal... thanks!
These have merino in the name, and yes it discloses the "blend" aspect in the name. However, this line should really be called Paradox Polyester Blend. Here are the specs:84% POLYESTER11% MERINO WOOL5% SPANDEXI ran into them at Costco and ended up buying, what I thought, was a women's XL that looked like a promising fit in the store (6'2" 185lbs, usually wear Mens large). I came home with a women's size large that fit me like a wet suit. The women's version has thumb holes and that is a big thing for me. I went back and the women's XL fits great.Hope this helps someone before they make a trek to costco hoping to get a 100% Merino Baselayer for that 24.99. :)
Edited by Superfluous_Grizzly on 09/22/2012 01:45:44 MDT.
I've been using the Paradox base layers in several weights for some time and am very impressed with them. First, I find that the layers do not become smelly even after multiple days of hard wear. Many base layers I've tried have become pretty smelly after a couple hours. On a twp month AT hike I did not have regular long pants or a standard shirt, but used shorts combined with paradox base layers to keep me warm. Even wearing the paradox layers outside the shorts, I did not have any significant wear issues. During this quite wet hike, the paradox layers were worn almost every day, and unless the temps were near freezing, I did not use a rain jacket, but just a light wind shirt. I found the base layers wicked moisture very well, and I did not feel at all clammy. I would rate the heavier paradox bases as at least as warm as capilene 3 bases. Note that Costco has sold a number of base layer items in the last few years. I just checked some labels, and see that some of them are 100% polyester, some are 11% merino, and some are 54% merino with the remainder polyester and spandex. I find that the thin base layers pill some after quite a bit of wear. (This is something that does not bother me, but I know it bothers some folks.) The thicker base layers have yet to pill even after very heavy use. The sewing on these cloths is excellent, and I have yet to have any problems with seams opening. I guess you can tell that I'd recommend these bases.Jim
I really like my pair of longs and wanted to buy another. Can't find! Have these been Disco'd by Costco?
Much of the costco outdoor gear and clothing is very seasonal.I suspect the thermal wear falls into this category.
Aha, I'm too late in the season. OK, thanks.
FYI, I just bought a few pairs of the Paradox leggings for $10 each, new, incl shipping! 84% polyester, 11% merino, 5% spandex. Looking forward to trying these on my next hike.http://www.ebay.com/itm/301158014469
I didn't realize these were on sale for so cheap! I need to give John a partial refund (i just sold him a lightly used pair for 12 dollars).
I see this stuff in my local Cotco in OZ. They order big heaps of it and keep moving it around the world to suit the season until it's all gone. Aldi do the same, they're selling ski clothing that's come from the European winter.
May have to give them a try but it looks like only L and XL are left. Seems that they only had a few in M that sold in the last day or two.
I recommend them, they are pretty nice especially for the price. I think Cap 4 and similar type baselayers (Polartec Power Dry High Efficiency fabric) with polygiene are better and have a wider comfort range, but they also tend to be $$$$. These will do the job and well, with decent to good odor control, but for much, much, much less. Btw, it's not the 11% Merino which is doing the odor control so much as it's primarily the oleophobic coating they add to the synthetic fibers. The small percentage of Merino may also help a little too (especially since it's usually wrapped on the outside so your skin is more touching the Merino than the synthetic), but it's not the primary means. All Dri-Release stuff has this oleophobic coating on the synthetic fibers, which are wrapped with a small percentage of some natural/semi natural and hydrophillic fiber. It's a unique form of wicking. Unlike well wicking synthetics or natural fiber based garments, the moisture doesn't spread over a larger surface area, so it's not quite as cooling in nature, but that can be a good thing especially in very cold and dry conditions wherein a well wicking, moisture spreading type synthetic garment can make you colder when it becomes significantly wet.
So *that's* how dri-release works, interesting. I wish I'd bought a spare pair of Paradox base-layers when I'd had the chance. Hope to pick more up next winter, when they are (hopefully) available again. Checked the ebay link above, out of stock for medium.So this oleophobic coating, does it degrade/wear off/need refreshing? Or is it more-or-less for the life of the garment?
Edited by Bolster on 06/03/2014 17:39:25 MDT.
Whether it's for the life of the garment or not, i don't know. Optimer certainly has marketed for the former, but i tend to be skeptical of corporation's claims, or rather their definitions--you might need a lawyer and textiles expert to fully understand the context and definitions they are basing it on... For example, i like Polygiene's tech, and they boldly claim their NON wash in treatments last for the life of the garment, but if you dig deeper, it's actually rated for 100 washes. That's pretty dang durable (and impressive), but i bet you there will be some people that will use a garment longer and wash it more than that. An all polyester, or all nylon, shirt can last a good long time if designed well and not overly thin. Now, bout the Merino, i can't say anything with any certainty, but on a trip my wife used a Dri Release polyester-cotton blend (15% cotton) baselayer, and i used the Paradox Dri Release polyester-Merino blend. Her shirt definitely had a bit more noticeable odor than mine, even though i had been previously constantly wearing mine for almost a week before, and she had just started to wear her baselayer the day before. She does not have unusual or strong body odor. Was the difference due to the Merino vs the cotton, even though these are at small percentage? I can't say for certain, but it's certainly a possibility, especially since Dri Release yarns are usually designed with a synthetic core, wrapped on the outside by the absorbent natural or semi-natural minority fiber. Hence, it's possible that having the Merino on the outside and the synthetic primarily on the inside, does maximize the efficiency of the small percentage of the former. Speculation though. I imagine without the oleoophobic coating on the synthetic though, it would get fairly stinky, though probably not as much as a 100% all untreated synthetic. Either way, as you have noticed as well, it seems to be a pretty good combo, and at a great price.
Thanks Justin. Always enjoy your lucid explanations. Where do I send my tuition money?
Edited by Bolster on 06/03/2014 21:51:45 MDT.
Haha, you can buy a front insulated synthetic vest and fund the Justin pay his bills cause. I'll even give you a special, Delmar only coupon discount. ;) ;)
If you're lucky enough to be a mens small, I found a pair of these bottom base layers on sale on ebay for $7.50 and free shipping. The listing says they're on sale for the next 5 days. I ordered a pair. Link

I've been using a Logitech G5 for a while now and occasionally flip out the gimmicky weight caddy and swap the weights around. They come in a loverly metal box, in a foam matrix and it's very enjoyable.
I've recently been wondering if this isn't just a load of old bollox though and I'd be better off with no weights at all, playing with the lightest setup possible. More responsive and less strain on my wrist ?The G5 36 gram adjustable weight cartridge gives you hundreds of variations on balance and heft - including one that's perfect for your unique gaming style.

The way a lot of guys talk is not nice and sometimes a bit anti women. Certainly not all, some of the most noble people I have meet were there. The last ten years I have worked mostly with women, the other side of the coin and I enjoy analising the differences. Sometimes I may exagerate what I mean to make a point.
No intention wanted to put "us" or "we" in a box. No who is better or anything like that, that would be stupid from my part and cheap. The differences of the two mentalities in a very general way is for me fascinating.
I may not be married but have been living with my girlfriend for over 14 years, so as far as I am concerned that is as good as a marriage.
