I don't mind washing the dishes so much if I can see the dogwood out the kitchen window:
My twice-transplanted grandparents' bluebells:
One of my best friends has a friend through work that I became acquainted with 5 - 6 years ago. I got along well with him, and he and his wife "friended" me on FB soon thereafter. I probably see them at social functions maybe once a year when I am up visiting.
THE FACTS: Over a year ago they bought a new house more in the center of the village where they were already living - a little bit more space, and bit more desirable location in a wealthy community that quite frankly they are not quite prosperous enough to aspire to (he's a paramedic/firefighter, she writes for the local chain of small-town newspapers). They didn't need to do this move at all, they just wanted to fulfill some sort of dream, I guess. They have a long history of being status-conscious.
A wealthy friend of the wife's lent them a bunch of money to jump on their new place as a sort of bridge loan, and they put their old one on the market.
Their old house is nothing special. I've been in it. It's in good shape, well preserved for a place over a century old, plain but respectable. Three bedrooms, 2 baths, 1,700 sq. ft., a detached one car garage on a narrow lot. You know how much they initially put it on the market for? $365,000!!!
When I looked up their listing and read that price I simultaneously shook my head, rolled my eyeballs and groaned. Believe me, I know the real estate market is relative and this wasn't Vancouver or San Francisco, but pricey community or no, that was way, WAY outside the bounds of possibility. If they thought they were going to get that then they were completely delusional.
I mean, seriously, I thought their real estate agent (probably some friend of theirs) must be a real ding-bat. Real estate agents vary a great deal in quality, I have found. This is what happens when the barriers to entry in a profession are set low - you get all these wannabe flaky guys and housewives who think they know what they're doing, that they can put in a couple hours work and can make some quick cash with a hefty commission. For every sharp, on-the-ball agent there are ten morons.
At the time I felt almost obligated to say something. I wanted to message the guy and be like, "dude, what the hell are you thinking? I know the market up there pretty well and there's no way you are going to get that - the place is just going to sit there and you'll have to lower the price at least twice just to get an offer." If he was a close friend I totally would have done that. But I knew, I KNEW, that if I said anything he and/or his wife would have been greatly offended. Who was I to tell them their business? And it was true: it wasn't my business and they didn't ask my input. So I said nothing to them (but told our mutual friend that they were nuts).
Fast forward now over a year. They've lowered the price at least three times, and now it's down to $288,000. That's like a 21% decrease! What an admission of defeat. The extra expense is really starting to take its toll on the family, so I hear. The guy has been working two jobs, instead of spending time with his two young daughters. Hell, the property taxes alone on the place are over $6,700/yr. That's money they just threw away.
But that's the thing about close friendships, I suppose. You can provide good friends with unpleasant truths and counsel that can actually aid them, even if it dashes their preposterous dreams and runs counter to their most fervent desires. I just can't do the validation game, where I tell people everything they want to do is awesome.
And here on LJ it's the same. Sometimes I read entries from people and I think, "that's crazy that they are even considering doing this." But I know if I make a contrary comment that there will be negative consequences. The self-righteous umbrage (DON'T JUDGE ME!!) Subsequent entries marked private. The dreaded "unfriending".
However, I can't help but take the opportunity to ask - if I happen to detect some craziness, do you really want me to hold my tongue and let you blunder through life, or do you trust that if I have something substantive to contribute that I don't mean it as mere criticism but offer it as a plausibly valuable solution? Sure, I'm just some guy an the internet, but on the other hand, I'm a problem-solver by profession, an intelligent, reasonably dispassionate person who never acts rashly and considers all the angles before coming to any decision. Isn't that the sort of fellow you would want advice from? ;-)
On my end, the problem is that after a while I tend to care, and that motivates my comments. If I didn't, I would just be like, "OMG, this person is such a train-wreck; I can't wait to see what kind of shit-storm they blithely sail into next!" To be honest, there were one or two people I friended for that very reason and with never a hint of caring, but they stopped updating their journals after only a month or so, probably out of shame.
Would make quite the serviceable still life painting, though.
(Note: this is from yesterday - I don't drink wine before noon!)
At long last, the heady fragrance of viburnum returns:
Weeds, trying to fool me.
Crab apple, giving its annual reminder of why I permit it to eke out its otherwise lackluster existence.
If only I could take the week off and just lounge about the patio, imbibing either beer or wine, as the whim takes me...
It seems just a tad silly to me - all these allegedly closet superfans coming out of the woodwork, when I know damn well none of them have sat down and listened to a Prince album in over 25 years. It's far more likely that they are in reality lamenting their own lost youth, since we all remember his biggest hits when they came out in the 80's and made quite the splash on FM radio, before being overtaken by the next Top 40 offering. I myself was quite partial to the song "Raspberry Beret" which came out when I was in junior high and I remember singing it to myself while doing yard work during the summer of 1985, although to be honest the first couple times I heard it I thought it went "She ate a raspberry sorbet..."
Don't get me wrong - the guy undeniably had loads of talent, was incredibly prolific and like Bowie or Madonna assiduously cultivated his image and maintained control over his career. If he ever struggled with any demons like drugs or booze it was never apparent because he was discrete and never gave any fodder to the gossip pages, which in my book is admirable in and of itself.
Anyway, something that really struck me reading one of the obit articles today was that Prince supposedly only required three hours of sleep a night, and he used this to great productive advantage. Thinking of this I was reminded of the striking similarities between him and Napoleon.
Don't laugh – it's not crazy. Both possessed exceptional intelligence, and more importantly vision. Both were driven and ambitious, and didn't play by the rules and chafed against the established order. Both were famously short (although there is some debate about Napoleon's true height), extremely energetic (Prince would often play concerts, and then after the concerts would then go to a club and play several hours MORE) and most tellingly both required very little sleep. Napoleon also only needed 3 -4 hours a night and essentially perfected the cat nap, and there are tales of him trying to force his generals to stay up all night while he discussed strategy, and they would inevitably fall asleep on him one by one, which didn't anger him but only served to demonstrate his superiority.
Now I'm an engineer, and have no background in biology or genetics, but I can recognize a pattern when I see one. So, what do these two have in common in their metabolism, genetics or brain chemistry? (step two after identification: duplication). Although, I also can't help but wonder what toll this eventually takes on the body; burning the candle at both ends typically means the candle burns out much faster...
But she DOES have heart problems and irregular heartbeats already. Gulp. Somehow, though, this has never come up before. And the prescribing doctor obviously didn't consider this. But I ask you, dear reader, what are the chances she will be in that small group of people to have a serious reactions? Yeah.
So, she elected to stagger the doses, taking the Trazadone before she went to bed (she uses it for insomnia) and not taking the antibiotic until this morning. That will be OK, right? Right?
Also, by coincidence I also learned yesterday from an article that "proton pump inhibitors" (PPI's), which are used to treat heartburn and acid reflux and are sold under the names Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid, dramatically increase the chance of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure.
Researchers using data from the Department of Veterans Affairs looked at 170,000 users of PPI's and found that after five years there was a 28 percent increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease and a 96 percent increased risk of developing kidney failure, - compared to those taking alternative stomach acid-reducing drugs (as opposed to not taking ANYTHING).
Well, guess what, my wife has taken two of those three drugs on a long-term basis, because heartburn "runs in her family". I brought this up to her last night, to find out that she had learned about this a couple weeks ago. But will this news alter her "pill regimen"? No, of course not! I suppose I have never had heartburn problems so I don't know how much discomfort they cause but STILL, the decision to immediately cease taking Nexium would be a no-brainer for me.
After all this time pharmacology, instead of becoming more comprehensible to me has in fact become more convoluted, impenetrable and even magical. This reacts with this, this causes this which can be counteracted by that - it's a wonder any of these pills work at all, and I'm convinced no one totally knows what they are doing.
In other news, she is leaving on Wednesday to fly out to California for a week to visit her youngest brother and niece. To do this she put off the surgery she needs to create a graft that will allow her to begin dialysis treatments by TWO WEEKS. If I could put a stop to this lunacy I would. I hope my brother-in-law realizes that instead of going to Disneyworld with her he may be taking her to a hospital - for an extended day - instead. And I can't be responsible if anything bad happens out there.
I've heard it said that you don't know what real worry is until you've become a parent. Nah, that's not really true. Or maybe it is because I often I feel like a have a kid.
So we had a car delivered to our house from out of state this week (lacking temporary plates, so it has to be driven around illegally until we obtain them). For an extra $16,000 it was specially converted to feature a deployable ramp to accommodate an electric wheelchair, which was delivered the same day (though without the charger, which they forgot to drop off) and that my wife now requires to traverse distances of more than 50 yards and because she can no longer stand for appreciable periods of time, mostly due to the fact that her oxygen levels drop into the low 80's when she stands and moves about, causing fainting spells that have already resulted in a severe concussion.
Increasingly feeble, her kidney disease is taking its toll (technically she has what is termed "end stage renal disease", which is as bad as it sounds). Yes, I have never explicitly disclosed this in the contents of my journal. The quick rundown: her kidneys eventually failed in 2012, she got a transplant from a sibling, started rejecting it immediately and has had chronic episodes of rejection since. Currently her kidney function is 18% (dialysis starts at 15% or less), with a creatinine level of 3.2. At the age of 38 she has nephrotic syndrome, anemia - red blood counts as low as 7, extreme fatigue, osteo-arthritis, nausea, a suppressed immune system due to transplant meds that leave her extremely prone to serious infections (like pneumonia and c-diff, which were contracted last year), wild swings in blood pressure, elevated heart rate, acidosis due to potassium wasting, asthma, sudden water gain and all this is aggravating her heart condition.
Oh, did I not mention before she has a heart condition, and was diagnosed at the age of 21 with Potts/Sick Sinus Syndrome and is on her second pacemaker? Yeah. And the heart disease negatively affects the kidney function and kidney disease negatively affects the heart? Yeah.
She has been on disability now for almost two years. She can't really do any housework or even lift a laundry basket due to the issues already mentioned and also because of the hole in her back and loss of an entire muscle from when she had cancer 12 years ago. Oh, did I not mention before that she is a cancer survivor, after two bouts of a malignant fibrous histeocytoma (a type of sarcoma) in her back? Yeah.
So she has a family doctor, a nephrologist, a transplant coordinator, a nurse practitioner for pain meds, a cardiologist, an oncologist, a pulmonologist, a GI doctor, an OB and a counselor. She currently takes nine prescription meds. She has blood draws weekly and appointments almost daily. She has a med-port because her veins are shot (partly due to the radical chemo treatments she once had as well as the harmful dyes used in scans for contrast) and getting an IV started is impossible – unless an IV team with an ultrasound machine can be summoned, and even then the chances are about 33% that an IV will work. She can't have an MRI because of her pacemaker, so finding out what's going on inside is often difficult. She can't take most pain meds either because they stress the kidney, screw up her liver enzymes or cause allergic reactions, so often she is in pain. We now have oxygen tanks around the house, and a machine in the living room that concentrates the oxygen, and little tanks she can tote along with her when she leaves the house, to shore up her breathing. So no more candles or use of the fireplace.
She has various harmful side effects from the various meds – currently her hair is falling out, she has debilitating muscle and bone aches and cramps, insomnia, last year she had meningitis twice as a side effect of some immuno-globulin infusions used to combat rejection, became suicidal and vicious from inordinately large doses of prednisone (used to help manage the rejection), and a host of other uncomfortable, embarrassing and inconvenient side effects too tedious to enumerate at the moment. Suffice it to say, she's a mess.
Often suffering, typically uncomfortable, occasionally in agony, she lashes out at those around her. I'm the one around her the most – so I receive the brunt of it. It's understandable from a distance. Sure, anyone unhappy and ailing is not going to be on their best behavior. But being exposed to borderline abuse day after day, for several consecutive years now, is taking its toll on me as well. When I come home from work I never know what I am going to walk into. A third of the time she's depressed or crying, and utterly miserable. Another third of the time she rages, yelling at me over trifles or imagined shortcomings, or she complains vociferously about her relatives or friends – or maybe she's just furious at the next-door neighbor or the mail carrier, or the nurse she just talked to on the phone – outbursts of anger that one would cringe to behold. If I'm lucky she's just sitting on the couch screwing around on Facebook and watching Dr. Phil on TV. Despite the fact that the bulk of my life revolves around her care and support, my efforts are often deemed inadequate. She resents that I can't go with her to most of her doctor appointments, although I spent two weeks of vacation time last year in various hospitals with her. The household is riven with stress. She's bitter – so, so bitter, and while that's totally justified that doesn't make it easier to witness. As time goes on her friends and family have called, visited and assisted us less and less. At this point they are basically "over it", though they won't come right out as say so.
There are only 24 hours in a day, and only so much that can be done in that day. I keep my head down, soldier on and do what I am able. I work. I take care of the yard and the house, I try to clean as much as I can. I launder the clothes. I do the shopping, pick up her pills and other medical supplies. I make most of my own meals. I struggle to keep up with the medical bills and expenses. Every day I listen as sympathetically as I can to the same complaints that I have been hearing for years, over and over. I rarely see my own family and friends. I don't make plans – there have been too many disappointments, cancellations and ruined outings. No more concerts. No more trips out of town. I'm not perfect, but I try my best. I take my commitment to my wife seriously, for I am a man of honor.
Why haven't I written about this before? Because this journal is my little space where I reserve the luxury to devote a bit of time to other, non-health related concerns that are important to me. It's an arena I cultivate so that my intellect doesn't totally become stultified. It's a harmless escape that I deem important to my well-being and sense of self. Besides, who wants to read about someone else's ailments all the time? Also, I'm not the type to stoop to eliciting sympathy from people online, going "Oh poor me! Who will give me some virtual hugs??" I'm not seeking demonstrations of pity.
Why am I writing about this now? Because I have an inkling that this ongoing crisis is going to intensify once again this year, to perhaps unbearable levels. And that vitally important life-and-death decisions may need to be made, and this might be a possible venue to discuss and document the decision making process. And that continuing to not mention such goings-on is starting to feel like willful concealment at this point. I will probably post updates from time to time and I may make observations concerning the "sickcare" industry, although it is not my intent for this ongoing health calamity to take center stage here.
I will say that this is the primary reason I give short shrift to people online whining about their PTSD or fibramyalgia or whatever, and why I don't friend such people if that seems to be their foremost fixation. I already spend a couple hours every single day listening to my wife talk about her medical problems. I don't want to hear about them from other people. I just don't. You think you have issues? Well, my spouse is circling the drain a little bit more every day. I already have a front seat to that. In all probability I am going to outlive her by decades. We will never have children. At some point I will doubtless end up old, used up and alone, with broken finances, even though I have a good job and have worked my entire life. So, I want to read blogs from interesting, vivacious, thoughtful people who may not be leading perfect lives, but appreciate what they have. And one more thing, how about some fucking comments, here and there?
It's called "whatwasthatbook". Yesterday I posted an appeal for aid there concerning an out-of-print children's book I hadn't seen in literally over THIRTY-FIVE YEARS. I supplied a few scant details about the setting, plot and what the illustrations were like, and in less than 24 hours someone supplied an accurate answer for the book's title and author! I can't convey how palpably pleased I was by this - I thought I would never be able to have it identified.
So, any of you who need a bit of help recalling the title of a book you read in the distant past, I advise you to check that community out.
From my office window I've seen this hawk going to town for weeks - hovering in a squirming trajectory just feet above the ground; unsurpassed skill resulting in broken-backed vermin. The chipmunks are cowering even more than usual, and the rabbit population is way down. It had seemingly achieved complete air superiority through its judicious use of innate maneuverability and strength.
But it doesn't matter how powerful you are. Alone, you can still get pecked to pieces.
That's why nature loves quantity – not everyone has to survive, just some. As humans, however, we have a bias towards quality. Being sentient and moreover aware of how singular we are, constantly referring to ourselves as distinct, unique, individuals and obsessed with our identities, we gravitate towards nurturing and learning endeavors that require intense thought, preparation, planning, training and expenditures of time and resources for a decent payoff years hence (think: child rearing or school).
But every once in a while, something happens to force us to get back together, shed our precious independence and reform the tribe. The recent Iowa flooding is an apt example. The meaning of community is renewed as people leave their homes (not that they had a choice – their homes being under water) and work together to pile sandbags and rescue stranded pets. We increase our safety and security through numbers to get through a tough situation. Or we don't, and then instead of Iowa we get New Orleans post Katrina, with people shooting at helicopters and stripping historic properties of their vintage hardware and trim.
Perhaps in some counterintuitive way the social critical mass achieved in the modern world enables us to individually focus on quality, knowing that the mass of humanity elsewhere has relieved us of certain burdens. In such a way we are able to specialize within fields that in and of themselves are narrowly defined and sparsely pursued. So I am capable of designing the steel frame of a building, but I don't know how to make the steel, fabricate the beams and columns or erect and weld them at the jobsite. But to go even further, I can barely grow tomatoes on my patio, so despite my various intellectual faculties and achievements, I can't even directly provide food for myself! So the more we concentrate on quality, the more we are reliant on the aggregate of humanity as a whole. To me this is a scary prospect, indeed.
The logic of Nature is pitiless: One man cannot stand alone. But I guess I won't be able to fully embrace it until biotechnology improves and I can start cloning myself.
Secular humanism and its companion philosophies assure us that we and the animals are tight – family, if you know what I mean. But the differences seem pretty glaring at times.
Item: there have been a rash of food poisonings lately – Salmonella on Florida tomatoes, tainted shellfish on cruise ships, E. Coli on spinach from California, bouts of norovirus here and there (and don't get me started on Chipotle)– we cook 90% of our food, and wash the rest – and process it – and STILL we get sick. But animals – none of their food is cooked. Ever. Sure, some of it is really fresh – raw is another word for it. I would imagine a wolf with a blood-spattered, steaming kill still has pathogens to resist, especially once the intestinal lining is breached by ravenous fangs. Then there are the slimy foodstuffs fished out of ponds and other bodies of water that you know are just teeming with multi- and unicellular microbes, and here the meal is simply marinated in it. (You ever put pond water under a microscope? It looks like a damn party where all the participants wriggling and thrashing about are figures from a Miró painting come to life.) And loads of other species consume "second-hand meals" – roadkill and other forms of carrion. And another thing: all that stuff is on the ground, for chrissakes. In the DIRT. Not on a plate on a table spritzed with sanitizing cleansers or a fresh linen tablecloth.
So why don't you see, when you are ambling through a National Park, a black bear puking its guts out? Or a raccoon with the runs, crapping over hill and dale? Are we humans just wusses in comparison, lacking in conditioning and gastronomic fortitude?
And what about the whole allergy thing? Oh, I can't eat peanuts, I can't eat strawberries, I can't eat wheat germ and baked goods with gluten in them. Are you f**king kidding me?! I'm lactose intolerant, so no cheese for me. I can't drink red wine, it "comes up on me". Such frailty disgusts me.
I am continually amazed at the ubiquity and dominance of the human race on this planet. I almost feel like the ancient Greeks who in murky tales spoke of a past Golden Age, those "halcyon days of yore", when men were men and performed heroic deeds, and peace and prosperity permeated a countryside bursting with abundance. Perhaps our forefathers were greater men, and we stand on the shoulders of giants. I bet that at least they could not only hold their liquor, but stomach their vegetables.

Ever wondered who made that animation at the start of Grease? Meet John D. Wilson
Everyone loves that very beginning sequence in Grease, when a bedraggled, hairy figure rolls out of bed and squirts a tube of brown gunk on his comb, which he then uses to sculpt his ragged curls into the iconic John Travolta pompadour. This much-loved little animation is by the English artist John D. Wilson, described by one blogger as having "animated the 1970s like R. Crumb illustrated the 1960s."
John's comical caricatures are very distinct, and his animations are filled with bright, popping paisley patterns, psychedelic colours, and bellbottoms so wide they look like they must be part of some kind of farce. Not many people seem to have heard of him and he is difficult to Google, which is a shame, especially because his work is so immediately recognisable.
As well as working on Grease, John storyboarded for iconic Disney films like Peter Pan and The Lady and the Tramp. Some of his most fun and vibrant work, though, is for The Sonny & Cher Show, for which he created a selection of rainbow-coloured animated music videos. The animations are mostly for Cher songs, but he's also created some incredible narrative pieces for Joni Mitchell and The Kinks. It's been roughly a year since John passed away, so we decided to put a list together of four of our favourite of John's music animations for The Sonny & Cher Show.
Joni Mitchell: Big Yellow Taxi
In John's reimagining of the shining Joni Mitchell song Big Yellow Taxi, Adam and Eve are plucked from the gorgeous green and luscious fields of paradise and dropped into an overwhelming and flashing "swinging hot spot." They are invasively followed around by a big yellow taxi (what did you expect?), and John's animation stays delightfully literal until the very end, when a gangly, green dragon appears on the screen and laughs in synchrony with Mitchell's summery giggle. The animation is so literal that it almost becomes symbolic, allowing Mitchell's meaning to subtly and sublimely resonate alongside the bright and scrawny illustrations.
Cher: Dark Lady
This blithely dark and guttural pop song by Cher is deliciously enticing and villainous. It tells the story of a woman who goes to a deceitful fortune teller and then comes face to face with some very fateful realisations. John's animation adds vibrant and vivid texture to Cher's wicked words. Watching the femme fatale waltz around her luxurious, candle-lit and silky pink bedroom is very hypnotic, and you'll be under her spell with minutes.
The Kinks: Demon Alcohol
Set in a topsy-turvy, higgledy-piggledy world reminiscent to New York, John's expressive protagonist walks the bourbon coloured streets in a drunken haze. Alcohol bottles take the shape of tar-tinged and sharp toothed demons, and the illustrations get scratchier and more demented as the alcoholism gets worst. Contrary to what the lyrics might suggest, John's narrative ends oddly happily, maybe because Cher and Sonny wanted to keep things sweet.
Jim Croce: Bad Boy Leroy Brown
John gives Bad Boy Leroy Brown that evil, bouncy cartoon walk that's kind of like a cross between Dick Dastardly and a jack-in-the-box. Wearing a pink suit and driving a very stylish, clunky convertible, Leroy Brown cruises around the South side of Chicago making trouble. One scene in a bleak looking bar seems to show the actual Sonny and Cher serving up alcohol and singing along with their cartoon friends, but very quickly Leroy Brown ruins their day. But don't worry, he soon gets what he's got coming.

This attraction is a tribute to the Disney animated feature of the book of the tale "Alice in the Seven Seas" by Ollie Johnston. Climb in a grub and follow Alice into a gigantic hole and survive the horrors of the Seven Seas. You might even roll down some gigantic leaves (proteced by guard rails) on your way to go stand in line for something else!

Waiting at the Post Office is one holiday tradition we could all live without. Fortunately, there are things you can do to avoid the hassle of those notoriously slow lines.
USPS Click-N-Ship
This at home, web based service run by the US Postal Service let's you print mailing labels yourself. That way, all you need to do is drop off your letter or package and be on your way! It does require internet access, a computer and a printer, but if you're reading this article online, you probably already have all 3. Check out Click-N-Ship
Automated Postal Centers
These are a lot like ATMs, but they let you do anything you can do at the counter (except ship internationally). They're often located in 24 hour lobby areas of post offices, but aren't quite ubiquitous yet. So contact your local post office before going to make sure they have one available. USPS Self Service Options
Go Somewhere Else
If all you need is stamps, there's no excuse to wait in line at the Post Office. You can order those suckers online, pick them up at most pharmacies or even purchase directly from some ATMs. The USPS is also beginning a program that will let you order stamps by mail over the phone or internet, but it's not currently available in all areas. For more information about that, you can pick up a "Stamps by Mail" brochure from the Post Office (without waiting in line).

Estonian gay activist to stand for parliament

Nice propaganda in the end there.That ambassador left because hes lover was not used to the fact that there is only one gay club in Estonia.So the Raul forced the dilemma on the ambassador to leave from Estonia to a more lively gay culture country or he would just dump him.So the poor Dutch ambassador had no other choice but to agree.But as hes not a real man with a real heart he just had to smear my country so badly by making up those awful excuses for hes departure.Of course he was not able to tell everybody "Hey,im leaving Estonia because my boyfriend wants to dump me for the reason that there is not enough gay bars to hang in in Estonia."Of course he couldnt say that so he smeared us all badly and you gay propaganda site are rubbing it out of dark for every oppurtunity.Make some facts clear and dont scream lies for your agenda that are proved false for a long time.

Google introduces city driving software for driverless cars

Electric cars at heart of Volkswagen transformation
Google has been testing software capable of safely navigating cars in cities without the driver's intervention.
The software is part of Google's self-driving vehicle project developed by the company's experimental branch the X-Lab, which has previously won attention by developing the Google Glass or testing a helium-balloon based WiFi network for remote areas.
Chris Urmson, director of the self-driving car project at Google, described testing of the software in the company's hometown in Mountain View in a post on Google's official blog.
"Since our last update, we've logged thousands of miles on the streets of our hometown of Mountain View. A mile of city driving is much more complex than a mile of freeway driving, with hundreds of different objects moving according to different rules of the road in a small area," he wrote.
"We've improved our software so it can detect hundreds of distinct objects simultaneously - pedestrians, buses, a stop sign held up by a crossing guard, or a cyclist making gestures that indicate a possible turn."
Unlike human drivers, Urmson explained, the machine's focus and concentration never wavers, the system never gets distracted or tired and is capable of paying consistent attention to every detail of the changing traffic situation.
"Our vehicles have now logged nearly 700,000 autonomous miles, and with every passing mile we're growing more optimistic that we're heading toward an achievable goal - a vehicle that operates fully without human intervention", said Chris Urmson, who claimed that the company's computers are already able to comfortably predict what happens on city streets.
During the testing, the Google researchers have collected data about a vast amount of different traffic situations, showing various outcomes of different circumstances.
"As it turns out, what looks chaotic and random on a city street to the human eye is actually fairly predictable to a computer. As we've encountered thousands of different situations, we've built software models of what to expect, from the likely (a car stopping at a red light) to the unlikely (blowing through it)," Urmson wrote.
Google launched the self-driving car project four years ago as a response to the World Health Organisation figures which reported that more than one million people are killed in road traffic accidents each year.
So far, autonomous Google cars are only capable of driving on certain streets in Mountain View but the team is expanding their reach and plans to move to another city in the future.
Here's a video showing how our vehicle navigates some common scenarios near the Googleplex:

Fonterra to 'vigorously defend' $492m claim
Related Links
Relevant offers
French food giant Danone has cancelled its supply contract with Fonterra and is launching legal action against the New Zealand dairy co-operative in a bid to win more than $492m in compensation.
The moves follow a scare last August that saw Fonterra issue a milk powder contamination warning that later tests found was a false alert.
Danone spokeswoman Eliza Newton said the company was seeking an initial €300m (NZ$492.9m) from Fonterra in anticipated business losses for the 2013 financial year.
The losses were incurred when Danone had to recall baby-formula product in eight of its markets after Fonterra's botulism alarm in August last year.
However, Danone would also be seeking further compensation for brand and reputational damages, Newton said.
The final figure would be quantified at the time of the trial, she said.
Danone experienced a ''significant drop off'' in public trust for its brand directly following the botulism contamination scare last year.
This reputational damage was what had led to the decision to launch proceedings against Fonterra at the High Court at Auckland today, she said.
Newton said the company was working on rebuilding trust in its products but it was a slow journey.
Newton said she was not sure how long the court proceedings in the High Court at Auckland would take but the nature of the case meant it was unlikely to be a quick one.
"This affair illustrates serious failings on Fonterra's part in applying the quality standards required in the food industry," Danone said in a statement.
Any further collaboration with Fonterra would be "contingent on a commitment by [Fonterra] to full transparency and compliance with the cutting-edge food-safety procedures", it said.
Danone was also starting arbitration proceedings in Singapore "to bring all facts to light and to obtain compensation for the harm it has suffered".
Danone said it made food safety an "absolute priority" and was committed to working only with suppliers that shared and respected the same "demanding professional standards".
Newton said she was not immediately able to disclose the value of the terminated supply contract and Danone was talking to other parties over supplies.
The termination of the contract with Fonterra would not cause any supply issues as Danone had a network of suppliers, she said.
Fonterra said it would "vigorously defend" the legal proceedings brought by Danone.
The company said it was "disappointed" that ongoing commercial discussions with Danone had resulted in legal action.
Fonterra said it would now work through the detail of Danone's claims.
The kiwi dairy giant said it stood by its track record of having world-class food safety and quality standards, quality systems, and robust testing regimes across all its manufacturing facilities.
Minister for Primary Industries Nathan Guy said news of court action was unfortunate.
"Obviously I'm disappointed in what I've read and seen today, that this particular issue couldn't be sorted out.
"But it looks like it's heading to court so it would be unwise for me as Minister for the Government to comment on what basically is a commercial issue between Fonterra and Danone."
Guy said he had not seen anything to suggest Danone had not been "squeaky clean" in it's dealings with Fonterra - "that's something Fonterra needs to work through with Danone".
He said the Government had already carried out extensive work to minimise the damage done to New Zealand's reputation as a food exporter.
"It was a scare, and of course the Government's reacted. There was a Ministerial inquiry that was released last month. There were 29 recommendations, which the Government has adopted."
He said the Ministerial inquiry confirmed New Zealand was leading in our food safety systems but needed to continue to look at the processes to maintain that reputations.
Guy said he had not spoken to anyone from Fonterra about the court action, and said it was Fonterra's decision whether or not to publicly front on the matter.
Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings revealed at Fonterra's Shareholders Fund meeting last month that a court battle with Danone was possible after attempts to settle compensation claims out of court had failed.
In October, Danone estimated that overall damage to its 2013 baby-food sales from the botulism alarm was $564m.
Fonterra, in its 2013 financial statements, said it had made provision for $14m in contingent liabilities on the contamination issue. Whether it has insurance to cover a successful claim by Danone could not be established.
An industry source said product-recall insurance could be bought, but because of the cost was usually carried sparingly and with limitations.
During the December meeting, Spierings said Fonterra had already dealt with most of the companies adversely affected by the product recall.
Fonterra had worked "very, very hard for months" to reach a deal with Danone, he said.
"It appears to be a route that's not working out. There's only two ways you solve it – commercially or you go legal," he said.
Spierings said that legally, Fonterra did not have any liability if the dispute went to court.
"But that could take time if it goes the legal route," he said, adding that Fonterra had not yet dipped into the $14m contingent liability.
The company was "very close" to reaching a deal with another nutritional company affected by the scare, he said at the December meeting.
The deal would include extending a contract with the unidentified company from 2 years to 10 years, he said.
Fonterra Shareholders' Fund's unit price recently traded down 2.1 per cent to $5.74.

Comments about Park & Sun Power Tetherball Set:
Sturdy and well-built. A favorite outdoor game with our family for many years. Even the dogs loved to play with it hitting the ball with their nose. Fun to watch. This one looks heavy duty and one that will last for many years. Over time, the ball and cord might have to be replaced. I like that the pole can be taken up and put away during inclement weather. We put cement around the tube that the pole goes into. Well-satisfied.

Scott Serafica's Painting from Life
Saturday, April 30, 2016
Saturday, April 23, 2016
Last Light
We had a great sunset here in San Antonio. Luckily I was out there to catch it. I think about all the sunset opportunities I've missed. Mostly it's a distance thing. I don't want to drive 20 miles out of town to paint a sunset and risk not finding a place. As pretty as San Antonio is, I think the Hill Country is a lot prettier with mountains off in the distance. The Hill Country is closer to Austin. I just need to find more places close to home. This painting was done almost a block away from where I live.
I used a different linen than I normally use. That's why it probably looks different than my other work.

Red Onions
This is my red onion version of the last onion painting. I set them up virtually in the same way. It's been over a week since I bought these and set them up to paint. However, I've been working on other things like cleaning my studio.

Evening in San Antonio
This was a 30 minute sunset study at Mission San Juan in San Antonio. I was trying to paint the Mission when I decided to stop and paint this tree instead for half an hour.

Evening Rain
This was long before the San Antonio hail storm that happened at 10:00pm. I was out painting around 5:30pm and got back home at 7:00pm. I was originally going to wait for sunset but I figured the storm clouds would cover it up. We had a windshield break on our car and some damage to the car exterior, but luckily that was the worst of it.

Yellow Onions
The first time I painted from life, I chose onions. Now I've been painting onions off and on for 10 years. They remain one of my favorite subjects. I think you can tell by this painting how much I enjoy painting them. I was going to crop this to a 6"x6" but decided to keep it the original size of 7"x7".

It is presently located at the corner of Poydras and Loyola Avenues, in the same building as Orleans Parish Civil District Court. It is identified by a door simple stating "Juvenile Court." But things are about to change — not only the court's address, but also the number of judges that occupy the juvenile court bench. What Do New Orleans Criminal Court Judges Do? By Marcia Kavanaugh • Oct 9, 2014 WYES Election Day is just weeks away. In Orleans Parish, voters will choose who will take a seat on the bench in two sections of Criminal District Court. In the continuing WWNO/WYES series on the Orleans Parish criminal justice system, WYES Community Projects Producer Marcia Kavanaugh helps us understand what the judges at Criminal Court actually do. Judge Rules Levee Authority Can Sue Oil And Gas Companies, Despite New Law By Associated Press • Oct 6, 2014 A state judge in Baton Rouge has ruled that Louisiana's Legislature missed its mark when it passed a bill seeking to halt a south Louisiana flood board's lawsuit against dozens of oil, gas and pipeline companies over coastal damage. The legislation prohibits state agencies and local governments from pursuing such suits. But state District Judge Janice Clark on Monday said the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East is neither a state agency nor a local government. Nearly 4,000 May Get Damages In Chinese Drywall Suit By Associated Press • Oct 6, 2014 Jesus Rodriguez / Flickr A federal judge has ruled that nearly 4,000 homeowners who say Chinese drywall ruined their homes are eligible to share any further damages he may award in lawsuits against a government-owned manufacturer that failed to show up in court. Attorney Leonard Davis of New Orleans said Monday that notices were sent Friday to the homeowners in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Virginia, Texas and Alabama. U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon certified all plaintiffs in nine lawsuits last week as members of a class-action suit against Taishan Gypsum Co. Ltd. Former BP Engineer Awaiting Retrial Allowed Overseas Travel By Associated Press • Oct 6, 2014 A former BP engineer waiting for a retrial on charges stemming from the 2010 oil spill has been granted permission to travel abroad. A federal judge says that Kurt Mix will be allowed to travel to China next month to attend his stepson's wedding, and visit with family. Prosecutors have accused Mix of deleting text messages about the amount of oil hushing from the blown-out well. He was convicted on one count in 2013 but won a new trial based on juror misconduct. He has pleaded not-guilty. Delay Granted For Former BP Executive Accused of Obstruction Over Oil Spill By Associated Press • Oct 3, 2014 A former BP executive charged with obstructing a congressional investigation into the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill has gotten a delay in his case. David Rainey's court arraignment, originally set for this week, was re-scheduled for December 3 by a federal magistrate judge in New Orleans Thursday. Rainey faces charges of obstruction of Congress and false statements. He currently is set for trial March 9. He has pleaded not guilty. Businesses Won't Have To Return BP Spill Payouts By Associated Press • Sep 24, 2014 kris krüg / Wikimedia BP wanted its money back — hundreds of millions of dollars of it — but a federal judge says the oil giant must stick by an agreement with companies that got payouts after claiming the 2010 Gulf oil spill hurt their business. BP argued Wednesday that a flawed funding formula in the settlement is giving money to businesses for questionable claims, and they should be forced to return it. But U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier says a deal is a deal. Barbier had ordered the formula changed several weeks ago BP Asking Federal Court To Approve Refunds Of Fraudulent Claims By Associated Press • Sep 24, 2014 BP will be asking a federal judge in New Orleans today to approve refunding some settlement payments over the 2010 oil spill. The company says hundreds of millions of dollars should be returned from some businesses that received payments between August 2012 to October of last year. BP says it's fair because Judge Carl Barbier found the formula used at that time was incorrect, and ordered a change. Opposing attorneys say BP is trying to get out of its obligations. They say the release plaintiffs sign to get a settlement payment is a binding agreement for both sides. State Appealing Court Ruling Against Gay Marriage Ban By Associated Press • Sep 23, 2014 The state is appealing a Lafayette judge's ruling that Louisiana's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. It was Judge Edward Rubin's second ruling that Angela Costanza of Broussard may adopt partner Chasity Brewer's son, and be listed as a parent on his birth certificate. The two married in California, and the suit says it should be recognized. Rubin's ruling in February was overturned by a state appellate court. Lafayette attorney Joshua Guillory tells The Advocate he believes it's the first time a state judge has found the law unconstitutional. Louisiana State Judge: Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional By Associated Press • Sep 22, 2014 A state judge in Lafayette has ruled that Louisiana's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. It was Judge Edward Rubin's second ruling that Angela Costanza of Broussard may adopt partner Chasity Brewer's son and be listed as a parent on his birth certificate. The two were married in California, and the suit says that marriage should be recognized. Rubin's ruling in February was overturned by a state appeal court. Brewer says she's been told Monday's ruling will be released after it's rewritten to remove the child's name. Pages« first ‹ previous … 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 … next › last »

Tequila Bottle Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
This bottle of tequila looks like it is straight from Mexico. You can just imagine the booze soaked worm in the bottom of the bottle just waiting for a brave soul to finish it off. Made from the blue agave plant located in the highlands of western Mexico, tequila is a favorite spirit for a Mexican vacation because of the margaritas that are made with it as the main beverage ingredient and have been since 1656 when the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their own brandy and started distilling agave. Often drunk as a shot, tequila can be in mixed drinks such as a margarita, tequila sunrise, long island iced tea, paloma and matador. Celebrate a trip to Mexico or a night out on the town with this personalized tequila ornament.
