Getting to Toronto from New York on a Saturday morning
Alternative routes to Toronto for the Buskerfest. I'm in New York, I want to leave here early on Saturday morning. The trains are booked, the coaches take 13 hours and the planes are far too expensive. Can I get a train to somewhere else that's not too ridiculous, where I can change to get to Toronto? The Amtrak lady wasn't very helpful on the phone. Is my only hope a late bus (or late train) on Friday night? :(

Buffalo University: Where to stay?
Looking for good, cheap accommodation in Buffalo, NY. My partner is visiting to work at Buffalo Uni for about 7 days in late September. They've offered to organise accommodation in a Holiday Inn at $98 a night. This feels a little steep. We'd like to shop around a bit, perhaps look at alternatives other than a hotel/motel. Perhaps a student "sleep in my spare room" scheme or something. Advice much appreciated. [more inside]
Ideas for fun or luxury gift delivery for best friend in NYC
I'm looking for suggestions for a gift to be delivered to my friend in New York City. I'm out of the loop: what neat thing do all the cool kids in NY want these days? For example, I think Kiehl's was all the rage a couple of years ago, and Philosophy body washes before that. She is 30, single, lives in Brooklyn, enjoys good food and drink, likes fun personal care products, is very busy at work, is very hip, elegant and quite intelligent. I know she reads things like DailyCandy and Flavorpill (I had a look there but nothing caught my eye). [more inside]

Study focuses on compost-grown food risks
A U.S. researcher has been awarded a $222,000 grant to reduce bacteria being spread from farms and gardens through the use of manure as a fertilizer.
Clemson University food safety researcher, Associate Professor Xiuping Jiang, said a teaspoon of fertile soil can have as many as 1 billion bacteria -- some that can cause extreme sickness and even death. But Jiang's research shows that by raising temperatures and using other approaches, bacterial counts in compost are reduced.
Jiang's research team is also studying biological controls, such as other bacteria in the compost that can grow more rapidly and out-compete harmful pathogens for nutrients.
The funding is part of a new $1 million research effort by the Center for Produce Safety to enhance the safety of fresh fruits and vegetables.

William H. Gass' 'Middle C' is a bumpy ride worth taking
There's an amusing and apt anecdote about William H. Gass, whose exhausting but also exhilarating new novel, "Middle C," has just been published.
During a 1978 debate, novelist John Gardner explained how he and Gass were different by stating that "my 707 will fly and his is too encrusted with gold to get off the ground." »Read Full Article
Present Music's performance of 'Inuksuit' doesn't disappoint
Present Music opened the new concert season on Saturday afternoon with 99 musicians tucked in among the sculptures of the 40-acre Lynden Sculpture Garden for a performance of John Luther Adams' "Inuksuit."
The bevy of percussionists and wind players used everything from temple gongs, drums, cymbals, conch shells and rocks to water sticks, whirly tubes, piccolos and several hand-cranked sirens over the 80-minute (or so) piece, written in 2009. »Read Full Article

'Spamalot' an uneven quest for Milwaukee's Theatre Unchained
Find Christ's drinking cup from the Last Supper? No problem. Splice a loving homage to Monty Python's low-tech antics with a sendup of Broadway's overblown extravaganzas? For "Spamalot" creators Eric Idle (book, lyrics and music) and John Du Prez (music), that might be the impossible dream.
Or so I found myself thinking Friday night, after emerging from yet another date with the frequently performed "Spamalot." Less than three years after a so-so production in the Milwaukee Theatre, this latest version arrives in town courtesy of Theatre Unchained — formerly Carte Blanche Studios Theatre — under John Baiocchi's direction. »Read Full Article

In general, people never tend to believe me when I first tell them I hail from Miami Beach, FL. "But why are you so pale?" some ask. "You don't really strike us as a 'beachy' kind of girl," others remark.
Indeed, I called South Florida home up until I graduated from high school, and now head back for mini-trips whenever I can. I may have taken that beach proximity and ample sunshine for granted as a teen, but appreciate it far more now that I've got limited access. While perhaps not as slick and cosmopolitan as some metropolitan areas, Miami Beach has a booming art scene, great dining and prime people-watching. Few other cities in the continental US, after all, regard a string bikini as a complete ensemble.

Hospice/Palliative Care Support
Whether you are simply trying to relieve someone's pain during a serious illness or whether you're trying to provide end-of-life care, it can produce a lot of stress for everyone involved in caregiving.
Right at Home can give you a respite from the daily tasks that seem to build. From light housekeeping to meal preparation, Right at Home caregivers can provide support during trying times.
Skilled Nursing is also available in many areas as allowed by state law for the medical needs of palliative and hospice care.
I am particularly impressed with the comaraderie and compassion shown to Mom by the caregiver and other Right at Home caregivers. It is so valued since there are so few in her life that are able to take the time and show the interest. Invaluable! Thank you!

Need to Know
Episode #238
SCOTT SIMON ANCHORS. HELP WANTED Edition. The show's medical correspondent, Dr. Emily Senay, travels to Massachusetts to examine how that state's healthcare system is working six years after the legislature there adopted an individual mandate requiring individuals to buy health insurance and businesses to provide it or face fines. The individual mandate is part of the federal healthcare plan championed by the Obama administration that is now under review by the U.S. Supreme Court. Massachusetts's plan was adopted when presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney was that state's governor. [26 minutes]
This episode has not aired in the past few months on Iowa Public Television.
Series Description: NEED TO KNOW is an integrated broadcast and online current affairs project, uniting broadcast and web in an innovative approach to newsgathering and reporting. It breaks through the limitations of the broadcast schedule by means of a web-based production model that empowers audiences to "tune in" anytime and anywhere. A cross-media initiative built around a wide community of journalists and producers, with input from an engaged audience, NEED TO KNOW covers five primary beats: the economy; the environment and energy; health; security; and culture. Stories, interviews, blogs and photo features are continually added to and updated online, with the production teams inviting interaction and input from online readers and users who are on the lookout for the latest information on a given subject. Each week's online story development culminates in the weekly broadcast, curated from the week's reporting by the various beat teams. The broadcast features documentary-style field reports, both domestic and international, short features and studio-based interviews and conversation to complement and advance the produced reports.

Manufacturer: Wintec (View all products by Wintec)
Model: Isabell Werth (View all Isabell Dressage Saddle reviews)
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle at a local tack shop. Fortunately, they are willing to match or beat Internet prices. I got the saddle with all the fittings for $825.
Likes: This is one of the most comfortable saddles I have ever used! My last Wintec was an all purpose and I got 8 years of use out of it (would have used it longer but I bought a new horse). It fits my TB/Percheron cross very well with an extra wide tree, and it's very lightweight. The deep seat makes you feel very secure, and I'm all for a saddle that is easy to care for. From the first ride, I felt like it fit perfectly!
Dislikes: The cantle in the back as high (of course, part of the reason the seat is deep) and when dismounting you have to remember to swing your leg high. The equisuede sometimes contributes to your leg "sticking" a bit, but I'm sure I'll get used to this.
Quality: The saddle is beautifully constructed and high quality all the way around. I love the leathers that come with it, and the leg positioning is great. Not so far back that you feel awkward, but definitely helps you get behind the girth.
Summary: I absolutely love this saddle. No break-in period, fits my horse very well, and an affordable price (though by no means cheap). I've waited a long time to buy this saddle, and couldn't be happier!

Mr. Jim DeNike, you are a hero! 1580 rolls of Kodachrome!
I feel your pain. I still haven't gotten over the demise of Kodak's infra-red film. The IR film that's out there just ain't the same!!!
This is the real signature of the modern 'new improved efficiencies' age. Seems to always happen.Quote:
...the number of employees has been cut to about 60 from 200 and digital sales now account for nearly half of revenue.
anyone know how long the wait time is for getting kodachrome returned? Mine shows that it arrived on the early am of the 30th, so it should be in the lab.
I haven't heard a peep, and its been over two weeks. Is there really THAT much workload to warrant the slow return? I only sent 7 rolls....
I looked at the Website yesterday, and it stated that they were swamped dealing with all the Kodachrome, and were just shipping out orders received on the 27th. They got mine on the 29th, so I don't expect it for about a week.


text: I watched the 720 version on you tube and liked the effect but it would of helped if you had put your lamp on so we could see it better. It looked good within the limits of what could be seen but as I said it was a little too dark for me to be able to get a proper look. I would of liked to have been able to see it properly so I could see how close you've got it to the DX11 (10) look.

Shailene Woodley will soon undergo a drastic makeover for her new film "The Fault in Our Stars," based on the best-selling novel about two teenagers fighting cancer, and in keeping with the subject matter of the book, the actress has decided to donate her signature locks to a charity benefiting kids who've lost their hair.
Pics: Will & Kate's Charitable Venture
The novel's author, John Green,
announced the news via his Tumblr blog, telling readers about Shailene's donation and encouraging others to follow in the star's footsteps.
He writes:
Shailene Woodley is cutting her hair this weekend to prepare for her role as Hazel in 'The Fault in Our Stars' movie. And she's donating her hair to Children with Hair Loss, an organization that provides free wigs to kids who've experienced hair loss due to cancer, burns, or other medical conditions.
When Shailene told me about this, I immediately thought there might be people in nerdfighteria who want to join her. (We already have one convert joining in: Shailene's mom!) So if you have eight or more inches of spare hair, consider donating it to Children with Hair Loss.
And if you do, let me know via the tags hairforhazel or itgrowsback, so I can put together some pictures/reblog your beautiful faces.
I want to be clear that this was entirely Shai's idea. (I don't even think the studio knows about it.) I hope if you're able, you'll consider joining Shai in donating. Thanks!
(ALSO: huge thanks to Wyck and Isaac, the guys producing the movie, for taking time away from, like, movie producing to sort through the very complex world of hair donations.)

A very dear friend of mine is going through a terrible experience. She began hemmorrhaging uncontrollably at 24 weeks, spent 4 weeks in the hospital on bed rest, and finally, at 27.5 weeks, gave birth to a DD via C-section. The baby lived 24 hrs, but was not sufficiently developed (due to placental issues); she died while my friend's DH held and sang to her.
I live several hours away from my friend. How can I best support her and her family? What would you want your friends and family to do for you in this sort of situation? My first reaction was "I want nothing more right now than to be there and hold my dear sister"; that isn't really an option since we live so far away.
I'm so sorry. Losing a baby is so heart-breaking.
There is a good sticky in the Pregnancy and Birth Loss area listing suggestions for friends and family. HTH
Thank you.

Season 2, Episode 6
"Run for Your Life"
There is nothing worse for MS than stress, but unfortunately for Laura, stress is something she can't escape. She's a teacher by day, a waitress at night, and a mom 24 hours a day. Laura never forgets she has MS; the disease reminds her daily with slurred speech, imbalance and fatigue, but since the day she was diagnosed, Laura has chosen to deal with MS by not dealing with it at all. And the family does the same. Although Laura has long avoided talking to anyone with MS for fear of confronting what the future might hold for her, Laura steps out of her comfort zone and meets with another woman with MS. A friendship is forged and her perspective on the disease begins to change. For the first time, Laura can discuss her symptoms, challenges and fears with someone who understands. Laura agrees to participate in an MS Society walk in Tucson and faces another fear in the process—being away from her children overnight.
Meanwhile, Todd struggles with the fact that Laura has to work so much to support the family. He feels like less of a provider because his construction business isn't bringing in enough money for her to quit her second job. When Dean presents Todd with a way to market himself by speaking to a room of potential clients, Todd has to decide if the $400 fee required to participate is worth the risk. Bailey fears that her mom's MS will one day cause her to end up in a wheelchair, so she doesn't like to thinking about it. She yells at her mom for bringing it up around her. But after talking to her siblings she realizes that she needs to be there for her mom. She decides that the kids should do something special for her. She records all the Bruce-Rumseys professing their love and appreciation.

I'm actually using it every day both for family (I got them all there) and special interests of mine.
99% of the stuff is privately shared though so I guess it looks dead from the outside (and non searchable).
the proprietary driver is a pain in the a**
Not sure how, at least for arch linux, pacman -S nvidia nvidia-libgl is a pain in the ass.
I suspect it's about as simple as this for most other distributions.
This is actually the main reason for me buying nvidia cards, they "just work" in linux and provide stellar performance.
My Miele combo washing machine from our apartment days just broke down.
Good thing we have 5 years off warranty mandated by law in Norway.
They tried to fix it twice, now they have to replace it and they are actually replacing it (on our request) with a separate washer and a dryer.
But 4 years is a far cry from the "20 years of operation" promised in the commercial.
The Source engine is using OpenGL on Linux and has absolutely nothing to do with DirectX
I agree with this sentiment.
I will also add that the select widget of gtk and the file selection "widget" are the biggest turnoff of any software I have ever used.
That said, whenever friends or family want me to install linux, they get gnome 3.
Less things to screw up.
It's not how it's supposed to be for those who want to organise by directories.
You know, people are different.
That's the Apple way.
User asked for a feature then get flamed for wanting the feature. Nobody should want features not in Apple software..
Until Apple puts in the feature, then it's the greatest since sliced bread.
My boss (who looks not too different from me) can unlock my phone with his face.
Using it for banking seems insane
i7 4770K, 16 gb ram, gtx 670, 3x ssd, 3x spinning rust platters, DVD-RW drive, 24" dell screen (very old model but excellent).
It's for games and programming.
2 of the ssds are for windows only games and the last is for arch linux where i spend most of the time.
The rust platters are hardly in use anymore as most of my stuff is on a synology box.
I have to say, I never hard of these sites either.
Thank The Publishers Association for the tip
Nah I'll still buy my stuff.. But I wonder how something like this can progress as far as to court without someone telling the execs how futile it is to block websites.
No linux support + the facebook deal is one reason i will _never_ touch this piece of hardware.
Actually, both of these reasons would be grounds enough alone to not get close.
I can't see any problem with that.
Just read a few reviews before buying to make sure you get a device that is properly designed.
And yes, it is awesome I use it on my home computers and the development workstation at work.
On the web page they claim to support open source etc, but their product is apparently closed source as much as possible.
They have opened the kernel and two apps, the rest is closed down.
So you got to trust them to not be a NSA honey-pot or something else.
I think not.

I have always wanted to like Great Lash, because of its insane popularity and cute pink and green tube, but I always hated it. I wanted to try Baby Lips and Wal Mart had a pack with this mascara in Very Black and a tube of the balm for $5, so I picked it up. Ironically, I ended up disliking the balm and loving this mascara! The brush is perfect for my eye shape and the formula makes my lashes look great! I love this and will be buying again - finally the iconic tube lives in my makeup case!

Giving this mascara a two is generous, and the only reason I'd ever rebuy it is because i like how dark it is (I have light eyelashes).
The formula itself is goopy, and clumps good portions of the lashes together if you're not really careful. Can make the lower lashes look unattractively spidery in comparison to the top lashes.
The brush is horrific. I actually pulled one of the standard brushes out of an old Great Lash bottle and use that instead, with this particular mascara. The brush is supposed to help you reach all your lashes, but it does exactly the opposite. When you're getting your outer lashes, the pointless little nub at the end mucks up the middle of the row of lashes. When you're trying to get smaller lashes, the bigger part of the brush messes up the rest of them. It's pretty ridiculous.
All in all, I don't like this mascara too much. The formula is bad enough, but the brush is just hell to work with.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium

I like to use this mascara when I want a little more drama to my lashes than my everyday look I wear with my regular great lash or great lash big mascaras. I usually don't like the newer plastic bristle brushes, but this mascara makes my lashes look so super long and separated and adds more volume than what my natural lashes look like. This brush really does reach all the little lashes. No it doesn't look like I'm wearing false lashes. No mascara is going to give me that look. If that's what I wanted I would have to buy false lashes. People expect way too much from mascara. This mascara makes MY lashes look amazing. All I expect from a mascara is to improve the look of what I already have. Lots of Lashes does just that. It doesn't clump, smear, flake or irritate my eyes even when wearing contacts. It does everything I expect a mascara to do.

I reeeeeaaaally don't like this mascara. I ended up giving it to my little sister. I have naturally really curly lashes and this formula if just to wet and takes to long to dry. When I blink it gets on my eyeshadow and it is the most annoying thing. It wouldn't be that bad of a mascara if it had a better want. I don't like the cone shape, the big part really seperates, buy the cone part smudges my eye lashes and is just a mess. I would repurchase as soon as a different brush Is included

- doesn't smudge/flake
- holds curl
- brush is easy to work with
- lashes look incredibly thin with little length and no volume
Comments: This is like the original formula, just not as wet and with a better brush. I'm glad it doesn't take long to dry and there was no flaking or smudging. It just didn't do anything else for my lashes.
Will not repurchase.

I tried the original great lash- worst mascara EVER; it weighed my lashes down with a gooey/wet formula, took forever to dry and smudged after approx 30 mins. also, the brush was just terrible for my Asian lashes.
I contemplated for a while about getting the GL-LoL but finally gave in after watching emilynoel83's review on it; also it was on sale @shoppers.
surprisingly, maybelline made the LoL mascara a lot more workable; it was still wet but not as wet as the original. if i curled my lashes and 5 being the curliest; after applying this mascara my lashes would go to a 3.5 which is not bad imo.
eventually i got annoyed of the brush because you'd have to flip your wrist to use it on the other eye to achieve the same look. so i switched the brush to maybellines falsies. &what do you know? it worked even better. the curl was a 4/5.

This lengthens but it clumps my lashes and doesn't volumize. I only wear this on lazy days when I don't mind if my mascara isn't as nice as can be.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other

The formula is very wet and it weighed my lashes down so even if I curled my lashes, it wouldn't have made a difference. The brush is super tiny so it is great for grabbing all lashes but I prefer big brushes because this one is too tiny to control. It lengthens my lashes but does get a little clumpy when putting on multiple coats. It also takes a while for it to dry. However, the reason why I dislike it is because it weighs my lashes down.

Great Lash is known as one of the best mascaras (and the oldest) out there, that have worked well for generations to come. I have to agree! Great Lash gives you full, thick lashes that last forever. The only problem I have is the shelf life of it. I've only had mine for a month, and it's already starting to clump and dry out, to the point of where it falls into my eyes by the end of the day. I don't pump my mascara when applying and the weather is temperate, so I can't really see a reason why it's become "done" so fast.
Age: 19-24

This was one of the very first mascara's I bought back in high school when I started wearing make up and at the time I loved it. As I started getting older I realized how many great mascaras were out there. I would say that this is at the bottom of my list as it does not fulfill any of my needs (length, volume, no clumps). Definitely not recommended!

Just Show Up
Last night, I came unraveled. I learned of another friend facing a battle with cancer. No matter how much time passes, news like this always brings me to my knees. It's like opening an old wound that you've done your best not to pick at despite its itchy presence. I'm immediately taken back to a place filled with uncertainty, fear and all too familiar dread.
Yet, it also reminds me of how far I've come and how much I've grown. It reminds me of hope and faith and the importance of showing up. So many people showed up whenever I felt darkness creeping in. Long time friends, new friends, neighbors, cousins, family members, and even complete strangers stood firm and spoke encouragement back into my soul. They reminded me to be brave. There was no one magical thing that made it all perfect. Instead, it was a tapestry of human love, affirmation, and kindness that wove its way into my heart and provided me a support net.
So here I sit, wondering what purpose God could have in my life to position me right here, right now, as a survivor trying to figure out how best to support a friend. Before my diagnosis, I never knew what to say and was always afraid I'd say the wrong thing. However, here's what I have learned about the trials of life: You do not have to be perfect or do/say the perfect thing. You just need to follow the nudge you feel in your heart. You only need to remember that doing something is better than doing nothing.
It doesn't take much to give much. Maybe you are in a position to offer financial assistance but maybe you're not. You do not have to make BIG contributions to help. I learned there are so many little ways you can make an impact:
- you can give of your time–sitting with a friend during their appointments, chemo, or just on the couch. Facing medical appointments alone can be overwhelming so having a buddy is very helpful.
- you can send cards, texts and notes just so the person struggling knows they are never alone. Uplifting words can be the enriching balm at exactly the right moment. A simple "I'm thinking of you. You are strong." message can go a long way in building reassurance.
- organize a group of friends to bring meals. Oh, how I love a community that rallies around a friend.
- if they have kids, offer to help watch them. This was a BIG help to me when I had to fit my radiation appointments into a busy "mom" day.
Whatever the struggle–cancer, addiction, depression, illness, loss, or divorce, we all just want to know we are not alone. So often we are afraid to ask how things are going for fear we'll upset our friend in need. I can tell you unequivocally that I appreciated knowing others were concerned about me. The moments of avoiding the elephant in the room were far more hurtful to my spirit. Walking with someone through a difficult time can make such a huge difference on how he or she deal with their challenges. Trust that your presence is enough. So just be there and listen. You do not even have to say the right thing. Just be still and say "I'm here." Just show up.
Most importantly, keep showing up. Sometimes, we need to know we have an army with us for the long haul. Call, text, send cards, and pray. Be a blessing and spread light like a beacon in the storm. We can do so much to brighten the world. Us. You and me–everyday, normal people. We can do amazing things.
Just show up.
When We Matter
Fitting in has always baffled me.
From the time I was little, I always felt pressure to blend. Whether it was begging my mom to dye my blonde locks brown so I could look like my friends or buying my clothes at the "right" store, I was always searching for acceptance. Some times it felt like I would never find "my people".
What has taken me a lifetime to learn is that fitting in is really more about feeling like you matter. We want others to notice, like and understand us. We yearn for connection. We want to know that if something happened to us, someone in this big world would care.
In my quest to lead a happy life, I have learned that acceptance starts from within. I have to like me. Yet, this is sometimes a challenge. There are so many messages being whispered to my soul that I am not enough. When I was younger, I had to work harder at school, participate and win at sports, and look a certain way to be considered "pretty". All these messages–I don't know how real they were–made me feel small and inadequate. What I heard and took to heart was that I had to change to earn acceptance. Certainly me, as was, was not enough. What if people found out how weird I really am?
Now I see the world through adult eyes. I have weathered life storms that have given me new perspective. I've learned that many people go through life trying to fit in. I've learned we're all sort of doing our best and we all want to matter. More than that, we're all a little weird. Maybe we'll never fully blend but we don't have to–we can create a new story. WE can celebrate rather than judge our differences. WE can help others know that they matter.
Over the last month, I've been searching my soul to figure out my purpose. I try to make sense of my journey–the blessings, the heartache, all of it. I've been listening to a new whisper. The message is clear that I need to be brave. I need to encourage others to see the good. Because if I can do it with all my baggage, so can you. No matter what hand you've been dealt, you can overcome and find blessings. You can seek gratitude.
You need to be brave. I believe we were put on this earth to lift one another up. Every day, we make a choice. We can contribute to a community with love, acceptance, and tolerance. Or, we can get all judgy, mean-spirited, and hateful. Our words have power. WE can choose powerful love messages.
One of my favorite bloggers, Glennon Melton from Momastery, wisely coined the phrase "love wins". I'm on board with that and I'm going to bravely speak love every day.
Today, will you choose just one person to lift up? Find a way to encourage a friend, a neighbor, a family member, or complete stranger. Today, let love win. Let someone know they matter. You matter. I matter. WE can create a community where we all matter and fit in. : )
Leprechaun Lumps
Here's a simple and fun activity to help kick off the St. Patrick's Day shenanigans.
Never heard of them? Why should blarney stones have all the fun? Leprechaun Lumps are easy to make and kids love busting them open to find their hidden "treasures". Here's what you need:
- 1 cup of used coffee grounds
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of salt
- 1/2 cup of water
- gold coins or any other small trinket
I usually just throw my grounds into a little container over the course of a week. I then stick them in the freezer to keep from getting moldy and take them out the morning I plan to make the lumps.
In a bowl, mix together coffee grounds, flour, salt and water to form a dough.
Then hand the "dough" over to your kids and let them hide treasures in the middle of the lumps. I use any little fun trinkets I can find including quarters, plastic gold coins, and shamrock necklaces. You could probably stick little lego people inside as well. They bake at a low temperature and so far nothing has melted! ; )
If you have kids that are highly tactile and enjoy getting their hands a little dirty, this is the activity for you!
Next, pop them on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven on 150-200 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Once baked, they turn to a cool shade of gray.
I love that if you take them outdoors, they blend well with stones and rocks.
Our tradition has been to hide them around the yard and let the boys hunt for them. You know, the Irish version of Easter egg hunts! ; )
The part kids like best is breaking them open to get their treasures.
So mix up a batch of Leprechaun Lumps and enjoy the hunt with your kids! You'll have fun and that's no blarney!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Bring on that Sunshine
We are going on the fourth day of no school. We are in desperate need of a change. Our moods are foul and we are "bored". Just about the time those winter blues grasp a hold of our hearts, a little dose of sunshine gives us an extra boost.
A lovely group of friends gave me a "Be Happy" jar when I moved and then filled it with heartfelt messages and notes of encouragement.
I love this jar and everything it represents.
It's that little extra oomph when the days seem long. It's like a hug for my soul. Whenever I feel lonely, I simply pull out a note and my day instantly improves. It's that "yes, you matter" message at exactly the right moment.
I decided this jar of joy is too good of an idea to keep a secret. Why not spread some love? Why not bust out our supplies and create a love ripple?
So we gathered:
- jars (recycled spaghetti and sauerkraut jars, thank you!)
- fun scrapbook paper to write messages (but any bit of paper will do)
- playful imaginations and creative juices
- a book of quotes (or use your computer to google some hopeful phrases about friendship, love, and happiness)
- markers or crayons or any writing implements
We scribbled down fun memories shared with friends, encouraging quotes, funny stories, and anything we thought might make someone smile. The boys drew pictures. We just let our imaginations take over…
If you are feeling grumpy, these little babies will turn your mood around.
You can't be grouchy when you are thinking of someone special or how meaningful that relationship is to you. I find that anytime I feel the funk coming, it's best to think of someone else. It ALWAYS, ALWAYS brightens my day.
Is there someone you know who could use a lift? Tell him or her. Tell her why she's awesome and how she inspires you. Share with him how he positively influences you.
Maybe YOU need a mood enhancer and some self-love messages.
Go ahead, get yourself a jar of sunshine and spread that good stuff around!!
Channeling Color Amid Gray Days
Come about mid-February, I yearn for the golden days of summer. My eyes beg for the promise of growth that lies under a blanket of snow. This year, however, we haven't even had much snow. Rather, we have plenty of cold days and brown grass.
The other day the temps rose to the 50's and I felt the urge to cut back all the dead branches and decaying plant life. But, I reminded myself it was February. It's too soon for spring. So I did the next best thing.
I went on a spring break and summer vacation. In my head. I browsed through my photos and took in the eye candy of perennials, trees, shrubs, and annuals that make my heart flutter.
The first to arrive to the spring party are these beauties:
Cue the majestic trees:
Then a few more flamboyant blooms join the scene.
And the symphony of colors and textures continues. Blooming shrubs join the parade of color.
When the threat of frost has passed, I get giddy about adding spring flowers to my pots. Pansies, tulips, crocuses, and hyacinths officially announce the dismissal of winter.
As the spring blooms begin to fade, the early summer annuals and perennials trumpet their arrival with dazzling shades of the rainbow.
By mid-summer, the bounty of blooms adds such zest to the landscape that each day brings continuous wonder.
Warm days invite happiness to take root. The bees dutifully buzz about and work their pollinating magic.
The yard is alive and the birds just seem to chirp happier little tunes. The carpet of green grass, the scent of the flowers, the orchestra of color–EVERYTHING AMAZING!
Isn't that the beauty of life? The promise of warm days ahead despite the cold winters.
So, today I'll soak in the color of the birds against the gray backdrop instead of the flowers.
I will marvel at the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets instead of the blooming tree buds.
Soon enough I will be digging into the warm soil and tending the next wave of color. Today, I will gratefully accept the gift of winter.

The issue is that he wasn't mature enough to handle having a child. Maybe his own childhood screwed him up so he wouldn't be able to handle the responsibility of raising a child? Again saying gaming makes violent people is absurd as usual. We had Christian Crusaders who made their share in violence without the use of videogames. I can name off a lot instantses that we had much more violence before video games arrived at the scene. So for one that says if people plays videogames makes a person violent needs to get a mental evaluation themselves!

I just don't understand how anyone can think that paying for this guy to have 3 hot meals a day, a bed, a roof, cable television and access to a library full of reading materials is "justice". Sounds like he's going to be living better on the inside than he was on the outside. Obviously everyone has to do their due diligence paying taxes to support the penal system, but I would LOVE to see the government amend a single point: Every year taxpayers get to choose whether they are A) In favor of housing convicted killers or B) Executing convicted killers in a expedited fashion Everyone in the A group can have their taxes adjusted upwards to cover the entirety of the cost of their beliefs while everyone in the B group gets their taxes adjusted downwards by no longer being compelled to contribute monetarily to a system they find offensive.

Animals who are considered a real threat to the safety of others need to be put down, not caged and fed. Here's an idea: Take all this money spent to feed, clothe and house convicted killers and send it to Africa to feed, clothe and house poverty stricken children like the one this guy killed.

We could keep interface around for where we now use [NoInterfaceObject] I suppose. Maybe also introduce "extends" rather than ":".
What's the point?
Communicate intent better over the long term. We're defining what JavaScript calls classes, naming them something else makes specifications harder to read, which is bad for developers.
It might also give people writing specifications a better clue as to what they have to do.
Current editor's draft of WebIDL still sticks to interface; is this a JSIDL proposal, and if so, can you include a link to the right conversation about this?
This is the conversation. I think rather than dropping IDL wholesale, it'll be easier to improve it incrementally in the direction of something that better matches a theoretical JSIDL.
Is that theoretical JSIDL defined anywhere, at least some of it?

I'm not entirely convinced that incremental improvement is the best strategy in this specific case.
A lot of drafts out there are using WebIDL. If we do incremental improvements by removing stuff, we'll break them (they'll get fixed over time, but it won't be pleasant). If we do it by keeping existing constructs alive, we'll end up with a crufty language. Not everything needs the same upgrading strategies as the web.
If we get something new and nicer, people can switch over wholesale.
Are these going to be *real* JS classes (ones that can be extended by other JS objects) or continue to be magical host objects?
Marcos, host objects is a thing of the past since ES5.
Robin, maybe. If proposed changes have implementation impact (and I'm sure some will), gradual change seems easier to cope with given that IDL is already implemented.
I think attacking this on both fronts is what will get us to better JavaScript. Slowly fixing IDL and trying to re-imagine IDL.
What would
Foo implements SomeClass mean in the new JS terms?
That at least sounds odd, and I'd expect
SomeClass to be actually an interface, not a class.
I would expect that to be a straight copy of the members, just as it is now. I think we want to keep interface for that and that would mean [NoInterfaceObject] could go away.
I don't think we should allow
X implements SomeClass;
we should only allow
X implements SomeInterface;
I.e. classes should always have "interface objects" (aka "constructor functions") and interfaces never have them. And only classes show up on the prototype chain (with exception for weirdness on the global scope).
Interfaces would only be used as a construct for described shared APIs and for when those shared interfaces are required in function arguments. I.e. interfaces would only be used for
X implements SomeInterface;
void fooFunction(SomeInterface arg);
From JSIDL, I think coercion rules are more useful than class to put into WebIDL. I cannot really see a net improvement from class.

At the ripe old age of 60, I'm keenly aware that most life experiences encompass good & bad, positive & negative, and this past week was no exception! My older son Nathan, age 39, required emergency surgery at St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham, AL, so off I flew from Dallas last Thursday, where I stayed until Sunday, when I was able to take him home to recuperate. Certainly a frightening experience for me, my son and the rest of our family, but he came through it quite well and is comfortably resting now and feeling stronger every day.
Now for the good/positive side of the coin: I got the opportunity to wander through St. Vincent's Hospital Gift Shop and meet its manager, Lee Patterson. Lee, his staff and his wonderful shop couldn't have been nicer! In fact, Lee even loaned me a phone charger for my son to use while a patient there. He told me how much he enjoyed being a Kelli's customer, and he couldn't stop raving about his Kelli's rep, Mary Ann Petts. What a pleasure to hear such compliments!
Lee's gift shop was amazing...one of the largest I've ever seen: it even included a book store along with the standard gifts, plush, HBA, balloon treats, candy & snacks, etc. Lee told me that this combined book store & gift shop was among the largest in the nation, and I most definitely believe it!
Having worked at Kelli's Gift Shop Suppliers for nine years now, it was a fantastic opportunity for me to see one of our customer's stores in person, see so many of our products on someone else's shelves, and to actually see one of the statistics I've heard about in action: the largest percentage of hospital gift shop customers are the staffers. The nurses taking care of my son told me they're always running down to the shop for something...snacks, books, gifts for their kids, etc.
I actually became a customer as well, purchasing candy bars for my son (a real sweet junkie) and contact lens solution for me. Thank you, Lee, for providing me with such a positive experience. And thanks to all hospital gift shop managers, volunteers & staff for providing such a fantastic service to hospital staff, patients and visitors!

WALLA WALLA -- The management team that previously ran Walla Walla's shuttered pasture-raised meat operation Thundering Hooves has started its own sustainable meats company and will sell off the remaining Thundering Hooves inventory as its first order of business.
The owners behind Blue Valley Meats all met while working in various roles for Thundering Hooves and will continue the sustainable farming practices for which that company was known under the new name.
Blue Valley Meats will open a new retail shop in a different part of town than Thundering Hooves' Isaacs Avenue location, said Keith Swanson, who ran sales for Thundering Hooves and will now do the same at Blue Valley Meats. Swanson did not disclose the new location. He said it's still under construction. A soft opening is planned in early May, and a grand opening is expected in June.
The new meat operation is expected to fill the void left from the abrupt closure March 14 of Thundering Hooves. Operators, however, distinguish that though they all have histories with that company, Blue Valley Meats has no affiliation with Thundering Hooves, nor the debt that ultimately led to the company's closure.
The Thundering Hooves meats that had been seized in the closure process as assets for creditors are now being sold through Blue Valley, said Swanson.
"The creditors who had taken control of the meat inventories in mid-March were looking for a place to sell those meats," Swanson explained this morning. "They shopped around. They inquired in a lot of places and because of our personal connections to the community of Walla Walla and our buying clubs, in the end we were the best fit for being able to successfully sell these specific products."
He said he and the team have not had contact with Joel Huesby or other Huesby family members that started Thundering Hooves. Swanson's wife, Clarice Swanson, is part of the Huesby family.
Swanson said the team at Blue Valley intends to carry on what was started with Thundering Hooves. "What Joel came up with 10 years ago when he started Thundering Hooves was a great concept because he understood that there were a lot of customers out there -- our neighbors -- who were really yearning for local meats that were healthy, that were from animals raised humanely," he said.
He said the business will carry on the neighborhood buying club program from Thundering Hooves.
After the existing inventory is gone, Blue Valley intends to launch its own line of meats later this spring.
"The philosophy of sourcing 100 percent grass-fed beef and lamb, plus locally-raised pork and poultry has not changed from what we did at Thundering Hooves, though we will be adding a variety of new products to the list, such as grass-fed dairy products and wild-caught seafood," the Blue Valley website explains.
One difference, Swanson said, will be consumer focus.
"The overall focus of this company is going to be less about grocery stores and restaurants, especially in the Seattle area," he said. "It will be more about direct-to-the-consumer sales."
He said some remodeling and equipment purchases are still in the works.

The natural habitat of O. junceum is on sunny, rocky slopes at altitudes that range from 1000 to 2600m above sea level. These pretty herbaceous perennial Iridaceae develop a rhizome and can bloom the first year grown from seeds, but will display their best from the second year on. The back of the white petals has magenta or purple stripes Lots of light and good drainage are a must. Deadhead the flowers and only keep the seed pods you will require for further propagation of your Olsyniums. This will prevent the rhizome to age too soon.

I hope that my paper may produce some discussion among members of the medical profession and possibly among the architects, because I am going to present a line of thought somewhat different from that which is usual on the subject of hospitals.
These institutions have followed the same line of development for centuries. They are being added to now and new hospitals are being built on the same principles that have been followed for the last hundred years. There are of course exceptions.
The United States is noted for its advancement in business buildings; we are the first country in the world in office buildings; New York is known the world over for its sky-line. Good contagious hospitals in the United States are the exception. That is, the contagious hospitals in the United States do not seem to have had the same amount of thought, care and money spent on
