I have been asked to figure out how to screen print on the plastic front head of a kick drum. I have only printed on paper and cloth, and wonder if anyone has any advice on this. will it work? is there a good ink for this?
I have done this... I blocked up the head so the print surface was solidly flat and printed with inktech multi porpoise ink.. solvent based, I wouldn't try printing with water based on a plastic drum head..
good answer.
I've been asked about this - now I'll have an answer.
what whitey said you gotta support the underside cause its suspended but the hoop. there are some waterbased inks that will work prolly like a nazdar 2700 but a a solvent you will get a better adhesion.
I'm through with water based... the inktech MP stuff I've been using lately is 100 times better.. no drying in the screen, thick opaque single passes..
some one just asked me to do this too. With a like 5 color design they stole off here. I said I wouldn't touch it, but tried to figure out how to print multiple colors with a tight reg. on it. How would you do that?
to register on a circle, you need to have two guides at about 4 and 8 o'clock, the material rests there.
Place a mark on the edge of the circle - a piece of tape with a pen dash is ok.
this mark lines up with a corresponding mark on one of the tabs.
Line them up and you can place the circular object in the same place each time.
when I'm doing multicolour CDs, I print a very small dash on the edge with the first colour- this can then be lined up with a register tab for the other colours
circular items that are direct printed in mass quantities (like corona bottles, or makeup containers, hairspray containers etc) have alignment guides/indexing tabs or indents on the bottom that lock in.

Todo es empezar.
you get different types of skins - one is smooth plastic, the other has a roughened kindof 'tooth' to it. I've painted acrylics on the rough stuff before no problem, so wouldn't wb inks work ok on that too?Originally Posted by whiteyhouston
what you are describing is the difference between a plastic head and what is called fiber-skin. I need to print on the plastic kind.
at first I was leary, but then it was described. the set itself is one of those clear lucite vistalites, add a clear head with a cool design and presto, instant awesome.
I totally don't want to mess with solvent based inks. the last time I did, it was a disaster. of course, it was a surprise to me when it happened. I had turpentine under my nails for days.
thanks for the input everyone.

Thursday News, October 4
Strong Winds Fan Flames of Grass Fires
(Le Mars) -- Those strong winds of Wednesday helped fan the flames on three separate grass fires located within Plymouth County. The Hinton Fire Department was dispatched to the intersection of 280th Street and Lake Avenue. The call came in at 3:15 p.m. and fire fighters were on the scene for about an hour and a half. Fire officials were called back to the scene as the fire flared up a second time. Hinton fire officials were there for another hour. The Le Mars Fire Department was called to battle a grass fire at Highway 60. That call sounded at about 6:20 p.m. Le Mars Fire officials were able to get that grass fire under control within a half hour. The Akron Fire Department also had a grass fire alarm. Akron responded to the fire located at 33287 West Loop. The fire was reported at about 7:05 p.m. and fire officials were on the scene for about an hour and a half.
Sioux City Police Arrest Owner of Abandoned Cats
(Sioux City) -- Sioux City Police have located the owner of that home that had more than 50 abandon cats. On Wednesday, officers arrested 56 year old Mark Lanning of Sioux City. Lanning was charged with 14 counts of animal neglect.
Jaimes-Martinez Charged With First Degree Murder
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A man has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a woman during a neighborhood fight in Sioux City.
Thirty-three-year-old Fernando Jaimes-Martinez is accused of firing a gun into a crowd and killing 27-year-old Karla Gonzalez on Sept. 22.

Police haven't said what caused the fight.
Harvest Nearing Completion, But There Are Some Concerns
(Le Mars) -- Harvest is nearing completion, especially for northwest Iowa farmers, but Iowa State University Extension crop specialist Joel DeJong says there are still some concerns.
Listen to
DeJong says we are still in a drought and the window of opportunity to recharge our soil moisture levels is closing. He says if we get snow before the ground freezes, then our soils will benefit. However, if it happens to freeze and then we get snow, that moisture will just run off. DeJong says it would be best if we could get some autumn rains.
Listen to
DeJong says there has been a wide variation with yields just within Plymouth County.
Listen to
DeJong says test weights of crops have been fairly decent for this drought-stricken harvest.

Minnesota Helps Iowa To Control Carp
MILFORD, Iowa (AP) - Minnesota has decided to help finance Iowa efforts to keep invasive carp out of the Iowa Great Lakes.
The Minnesota Natural Resources Department is providing $261,000 to help Iowa set up an electrical barrier atop Lower Gar Lake dam. The dam has an outlet to Mill Creek, which runs into the Little Sioux River. The river watershed includes several southwest Minnesota Lakes.
A temporary fence had been erected on an outlet at Lower Gar Lake to keep out the silver carp.
The carp reproduce quickly and consume large quantities of food. Experts fear the carp could crowd out native species and create ecological problems for Iowa's chain of glacial lakes.
The silver carp have been known to leap into skiers and boats.
Anderson-Erickson Dairy and Workers Agree To Contract Terms
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Union workers and Anderson Erickson Dairy have reached a tentative contract agreement.
The company and Teamsters Union Local 120 made their deal on Wednesday night.
The Des Moines workers had gone on strike Sept. 24 but returned to work the next day after both sides agreed to resume talks.
The company contract offer rejected Sept. 23 would have required workers to accept a pay freeze and to pay significantly more for health care insurance. Details on Wednesday night's agreement have
not been publicly disclosed.
The most recent four-year contract between the company and the 300 Teamster members expired in March. While the workers were on strike, Dean Foods of Le Mars helped supply milk to many of Anderson Erickson's customers, particularly to schools.
Upper Iowa College President On Leave

College board of trustees chairman Robert Firth says Walker is still an employee of the university. Firth wouldn't say whether Walker would return after his leave ends and he wouldn't say who
would lead the school during Walker's absence.

Built on the small town design principles of the late 19th and...Show all »
Built on the small town design principles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Maple Lawn is composed of six (6) distinct residential communities of condominiums, townhouses, and spacious single family homes, which surround commercial businesses and shopping district. Residents of this vibrant new community can enjoy the luxury of being able to live, work, and play in the same neighborhood, but Maple Lawn is also strategically located between the larger cities of Baltimore and Washington DC, making it a convenient choice for many commuters.
Recognized for its attractive and innovative design, Maple Lawn was named the top residential development by the Baltimore Business Journal and was awarded the National Association of Home Builders' Best in American Living for its unique and varied housing options. Each home is designed with an eye toward antique charm, but comes with modern amenities and open floor plans. Those looking to enjoy the peace and quiet of a rural hamlet can choose from grand, colonial style single family homes, while those who desire a more urban feel may be interested in their condominiums and three-story town homes located in the Maple Lawn Downtown.
The downtown shopping district features a number of critically acclaimed restaurants, as well as trendy boutiques, salons, locally owned coffee houses, and business centers. Although there are many options for recreation within Maple Lawn, the cities of Baltimore and Washington are each only 30 minutes away and boast a multitude of musical venues, museums, shopping, and site seeing.
With the popularity of the Maple Lawn development and relative scarcity of older homes in the area, luxury builders are taking advantage of the abundance of land available. Adorable older farm houses and enormous new homes sit on multi-acre lots of lush green grass and are surrounded by the bucolic fields of this once agricultural area.
As part of the Howard County School System, residents of Maple Lawn enjoy the educational benefits of the top rated schools in the state of Maryland. The convenience of the area, proximity to the major cites of Washington DC and Baltimore, and excellent schools enhance home values tremendously.

All-You-Can-Eat Seats Debut
We've been promoting the best deal in baseball for about…umm…three weeks and finally – finally! – it is here! So, grab your fork and knife, along with a napkin (sure it's a ballgame, but a napkin won't kill you!), and join in on the eatin' in the Royals All-You-Can-Eat Seats at Kauffman Stadium!
Debuting for tonight's series opener against the Chicago White Sox, the All-You-Can-Eat Seats (AYCE Seats) give Royals fans an opportunity to drop one lump-sum but eat until they can't eat any more – or until two hours after the scheduled first pitch time (sorry, limits are necessary at times!). That's unlimited hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn and Pepsi products as soon as the gates open.
But, we really hope you already have your AYCE Seats tickets for tonight's game…we sold out more than a week ago. Don't fret, though, because the AYCE Seats are available Saturday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, next Friday, July 6, and next Saturday, July 7, of this homestand. That's five more opportunities to get the most bang – or hot dog! – for your buck!
And, just how big of a "buck" are we talking? Buy your advance tickets either online at royals.com/allyoucaneat, by calling (816) 504-4040 or by visiting the Kauffman Stadium ticket windows for only $35. On the day of the game, the AYCE Seats tickets are $40. Or, grab 20 of your closest friends – or even complete strangers for all we know – and purchase tickets for the AYCE Seats through our Group Sales department at $25 per person. That's not a typo. It's really only $25.
Here are some more logistics if you aren't convinced enough already: the All-You-Can-Eat Seats are in the covered Club Level Seats – sections 232, 234, 236, 238 – along the first base line and will be offered for Friday and Saturday night home games starting Friday, June 29. Including July 3-4, the promotion is also available when the New York Yankees come to town on July 23-26 and Sept. 7-9. Order your tickets or get more information here.
The Royals at home, beautiful weather, enough Pepsi products to keep you running to the bathroom in every half-inning and more hot dogs than you ever thought you could eat – now that's baseball!

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Kevin Durant scored 24 points and led a fourth-
quarter surge that propelled the Oklahoma City Thunder to a hard-earned 97-91
win over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.
Held largely in check by Chicago's notoriously tough defense, the NBA's three-
time defending scoring champion poured in 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting over
the final 6:35 as the Thunder overcame a six-point deficit heading into the
fourth quarter to record its second consecutive victory. Six of those points
occurred in the last minute of play.
Serge Ibaka added 21 points and nine rebounds and Russell Westbrook tallied 16
points and 12 assists for an Oklahoma City squad that outscored the Bulls by a
31-19 margin in the fourth quarter.
Luol Deng netted a game-high 27 points and Richard Hamilton finished with 20
for Chicago, but the Bulls shot 26.9 percent from the field over the final 12
minutes en route to their second loss in three tests on a current five-game

There are two of them as well as several 4-5 teams. We thought bowl games were a joke.

There is a 2-7 team in class A.
Holy ****! Bishop Garrigan @ Akron Westfield! 4 hour drive for a football game.
This is a little OT but does anyone know where I can find the number of teams that participate in each class?

My son plays for Ames (on of the 3-6 teams to make it) and even I think it is stupid they are in. Dowling Catholic should have a bye.
No team with a losing record should be in

The Association does not make any money on a bye. It is all about the association making money in the playoffs. Looking at the list there are going to be a lot of blow outs!
Looks like the best A teams are in eastern Iowa. Did they play against Illinois teams?
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
It's just rediculous. They expanded the field two years ago.
I went to Ames High and even I think they shouldn't be in. Dowling gains nothing except for the chance to get someone hurt.
We went 5-4 my two years on varsity and missed the playoffs twice. With this system we would still have gotten in. I still am not in favor of it. You EARN the playoffs, you don't fall into it. Only 9 teams in the west side of the state don't make it. 16 of 25 do.
Go ANKENY!!!

You could, you know, add up the number of lines under each class and multiply it by 2 to come up with the number of teams participating.
Asteroids are nature's way of asking "How's that space program going?"
Meh, it's the same way down here. If you have a win or two everybody gets in.
Ames in at 3-6.

Kansas Takes Game One Over Iowa State, 8-3
LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Iowa State softball team was the first out of the gates Friday night at Arrocha Ballpark against Kansas. However, the Jayhawks scored eight unanswered runs as Kansas took the first game of the series 8-3. The win improved Kansas to 31-21 overall, 5-11 in the Big 12. ISU is now 23-29-1 overall, 2-14 in conference play.
Early Runs for Iowa State
The Cyclones' speedy 1-2 punch got the offense going to start the game. Brittany Gomez posted her 71st hit of the season with a lead-off bunt and Hawryluk followed that up with an infield single. Two batters later, Rachel Hartman was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Aly Cappaert hit a fly ball to left that was deep enough for the speedy Gomez to score and put ISU ahead 1-0.
After Jorden Spendlove drew a walk to load the bases again, Sara Davison brought home the second run with a single up the middle.
The Cyclone offense got back to work in the second as Liana Henry was hit by a pitch, Hawryluk got her second hit of the game and Lexi Slater drew a walk. Hartman popped up in foul ground, but the KU shortstop, Brickey had to make a running catch that allowed Henry enough time to get home and make it 3-0 Cyclones.
Kansas Strikes Back
The Jayhawks got its offense going in the bottom of the second as KU was able to load the bases with just one out. KU got two consecutive runs as Taylor McElhaney drew a walk and Ashley Newman hit a single up the middle. However, Katie Johnson was able to escape without further damage as a fielder's choice and fly ball did the trick to get out of the jam.
Johnson would not be as fortunate in the third. Taylor Hatfield tied the game with an RBI-double and KU would take the lead in the next at-bat via an RBI-single from Taylor Dodson. McElhaney made it three consecutive at-bats with a KU run as she then hit a single to right-center to make it 5-3 Jayhawks. The Cyclones brought in Paris Imholz, but she got off to a rocky start as a bunt single and a sacrifice fly made it 6-3 Jayhawks.
Kansas then made it 7-3 in the bottom of the fourth as Chanin Naudin won an over 10-pitch battle against Imholz with a solo home run to left. KU would add another solo home run in the bottom of the fifth when Lily Behrmann took Imholz deep to center to make it 8-3.
In spite of the two home runs, Imholz pitched admirably, allowing four hits in 3.2 innings of work with three strikeouts and no walks allowed.
Records Watch
Brittany Gomez went 3-for-3 on the day, putting her up to 73 hits on the season. She is in pursuit of ISU's single-season hits record, which is 77 by Jenny Condon in 1988. The 3-for-3 effort also boosted Gomez's season batting average to .401. If Gomez finishes the season above .400, she would be the first Cyclone to hit over .400 since Mary Jo Collins in 1978, when she hit .435.
On Deck
Game two of the series between the Cyclones and Jayhawks will be tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Getting kids (especially boys) into cooking just got easier with this Super Hero themes cookbook. Illustrated in full color photos for eye appeal, some recipes call for food coloring, others use cookie cutters with Super Hero symbols (not included), and still others foods are decorated with colored sugar or paprika with the sturdy stencils that are in the back of the book. Kids will also like the punch-our action figures that can be taped to toothpicks and used to decorate foods. For picky eaters, this just might make certain foods more appealing. A Man of Steel Burger has a Superman shield made of cheese and ketchup; while red and yellow pepper stars are cut out to decorate Wonder Woman pizzas. If you are planning a themed party this will help you add shazam to the food choices. There are power drinks, mighty main dishes, sweet treats, hero sandwiches, naturally, and even breakfasts for a flying start!

Necrotizing enterocolitis
Other Names for this Disease
- Enterocolitis, necrotizing
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1][2] The condition most often occurs in premature newborns, but it may also occur in term or near-term babies.[2] Signs and symptoms may include abdominal distension, bloody stools, vomiting bile-stained fluid, and pneumatosis intestinalis (gas in the bowel wall) identified on abdominal x-ray. Affected infants occasionally have temperature instability, lethargy, or other findings of sepsis.[2][2] The exact cause of NEC is unknown. Treatment involves stopping feedings, passing a small tube into the stomach to relieve gas, and giving intravenous fluids and antibiotics.[1][3] Surgery may be needed if there is perforated or necrotic (dead) bowel tissue.[3] About 60-80% of affected newborns survive the condition.[1]Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a condition characterized by variable injury or damage to the intestinal tract, causing death of intestinal tissue.

Garden type
Trees and shrubs
Azaleas flower abundantly in many different colours. They are not very fussy and the Japanese azaleas in particular do not take up too much space, making them very suitable for small gardens.
Trees in the garden give enjoyment all year round. They are very decorative, with beautiful colours in spring and autumn, and they provide shade in summer. You can still enjoy these benefits if you have a small garden by choosing small trees or trees that can be kept compact.
The word bonsai is a Japanese word that literally means 'tree in pot' and refers to the practice of manipulating trees to keep them artificially small while retaining the shape and appearance of their older, larger counterparts.

Did you do the pigeon task? They didn't show you doing it.Cathi: We got there and it was so dark that they didn't release the pigeons. They just gave us a card of the address of where the pigeon would be. That was just [more confirmation] that we were last.Do you know how much time you lost trying to find the pigeons?Bill: Probably an hour. We got there very late. The signage near the town — I don't know if someone turned the sign slightly or what — but that took us nearly half an hour, running back and forth. We went to the wrong spot on the wall, so some nice young kids directed us to the right end of the wall. It was so dark that we ended up going around the wall and finally we found the clues down below, which some of the teams drove up and spotted immediately. It helped to have a little sunlight. It took us quite awhile. Once we had that, we were able to head back to Brussels pretty fast. We lost enough time. We hadn't seen any other team. We figured it was about the end.Why was it so hard to find the place?Cathi: It was a very small place, but the actual wall is a fence kind of thing that goes around a small peak. It just meanders and it's clear on the back of the town. People would say, "You go here, you go here, you go here," but really, you had to be at exactly the right spot.Bill: Also the roads don't go straight, so pretty soon you're headed back the way you just came and you're in more trouble. The people are nice and know the terrain pretty well, but they don't understand that when they say this, it doesn't make sense to you. You're taking the first street that turns off and they mean the main street that turns off way up the hill.You seemed to have trouble with self-navigation. You lost time heading to Legoland last week and now this.Cathi: I wouldn't say that we were bad at navigation in that we never went the wrong way on the freeway ever. We were very cautious, maybe too cautious. We stopped and asked probably more often than maybe some of the other teams. The other thing is, looking back, we weren't as aggressive in our driving as we probably should've been. In other words, we really did take them at their word when they said to go the speed limit. I think some of the other teams were more aggressive in their driving and could make up any error time. We just kind of kept it at the speed limit the whole time. Maybe if we had driven faster, we could've caught up with someone. We had great luck in Copenhagen with the directions and the driving, but no such luck here.Why weren't you more aggressive?Cathi: We're pretty rule-bound. When they say "go the speed limit," we go the speed limit. If we were to do it again, we wouldn't go the speed limit. [Laughs] We'd speed and if we get a 10-minute penalty, whoopee! Because you've made up those 10 minutes.Bill: In total, it was almost 1,000 kilometers of driving. We'd been in Europe a number of times, but we always used mass transit, so as far as the driving goes, I wasn't accustomed to it, so I didn't push it. We could've made up a lot of time in that manner. We got directions that weren't easily understood, so when you ran out of what you understood, you stopped and asked again. After being almost goners the first leg, how did it feel to make the final five? Cathi: We were grateful for every moment. To have [been saved by] two non-elimination legs? We were extremely grateful for the first non-elimination because we had such a difficult time finding the board. So after that, it was like, "Do the best you can, enjoy every minute" and we did. Before the race began, the philosophy was "most of you will be eliminated," so you go in knowing that and knowing you're taking a huge risk exposing yourself. But it was definitely worth it.How do you keep in such great shape? I think everyone wants to look as good as you guys do in their 60s.Cathi: [Laughs] Did you like how the bodybuilder noticed that?They paid you more compliments than they did any other team.Cathi: I know! We work out, probably four to six times a week. We've done it for years and years. It's not something we did two or three months [before the race]. It's a lifestyle for us. We do it because we want to live as long and as happily and as healthy as we can.Cathi, you kept falling down. How many bruises did you get? Cathi: I was covered with bruises after the rice patty. There were no real injuries at all. My balance isn't very good to begin with and we neglected to take our backpacks off, so the weight would shift and I would fall.Bill: She also managed to get some beauties hanging onto the elephant. You kept going up and down on that, and she got her arms bruised up trying to hang on.Cathi: Afterward, I asked the cameraman if he would put the falls together [in a montage] for me because it was just hilarious!What are you up to now?Cathi: We are going to New Zealand in two and a half weeks. Our daughter's husband is from New Zealand, so our whole family is going there for Christmas. It's summer there, so to leave Oregon and to go to New Zealand will be great.

Just installed a DID roller chain for $42. It is better quality then the stock Diamond. Why are some of you purchasing $150 chains? Why?
I've got a family and little enough time to ride as it is, it's just easier for me.
I must be weird, I actually enjoy doing maintenance on my bike. (Except the whole waiting parts part). I quick detail it before almost every ride and do a full detail once out twice a week. Always checking the oil, checking the chain tension and oiling, clean the carb on a fairly regular basis... I just enjoy being 1 with my bike/s. It's almost like we communicate with each other. Even when I'm out riding, I listen to what the bike has to say and I address everything that comes to my attention. So cleaning the chain and oiling it every couple weeks gives me something to do, to keep my idle hands at bay. Plus, being this obsessed helps me find problems that may have normally been over looked, like the blown intake gaskets that had me baffled as to why I couldn't tune the carb just right. Anyways. Just wanted to throw that out there.Scottie
I like working on my bike too but I'd much rather ride and I just don't have as much time as I did when I was younger. Scott
+1Same here.They have so much on their head: the commute, the job and all that. But she does the checks, and is interested in the debriefings.
Why are some of you purchasing $150 chains? Why?

Off to a good start!
It doesn't matter that you didn't make up this world. Otherwise, nobody would do Middle Earth or Star Wars maps.
Your map really wants titles on the colored areas. Or at the very least a color key somewhere.
Then, are there going to be cities?
Also, I think the texture in the sea needs to go byebye. It makes the continents look like they're laid flat on some weird showercurtain from the 1960s. If the sea texture can't match the coasts, then just use straight blue or some other color (black is cool).
It looks good so far. Please post your updates!

I just returned from Silicon Valley, having met with a couple of local companies regarding their architectual practices. Two immediate observations from those vists: first, the essential architecture of most of interesting systems really is locked in the tribal memory of a few individuals and second, as such business mature, a focus on architecture becomes increasingly important as a means of driving economies of scale (by harvesting and then exploiting common architectural elements) and innovation (by creating the opportunity for entirely new businesses by opening up their architectures for integration with other systems of systems).
I spent some time with the folks at Adobe who were very gracious hosts. Part of my time was spent with the architect of Photoshop, digging through its architecture. Photoshop is the "professional standard in desktop digital imaging" according to their literature. Opening up the hood, there's a really beautiful and elegant architecture that lies within. The current release of Photoshop consists of about one million SLOC in C++, with several million SLOC of basic libraries written in a variety of langugages. The 80/20 rule seems to apply here: the essence of the Photoshop architecture swirls around abstractions and mechanisms for documents, layers, channels, and tiles (some 20% of the total code) while the rest of the code is there for all the surrounding cruft (licensing, plugins, file manipulation, event handling, the user experience).
I also spent some time with a company who for the moment shall remain nameless, except for me to say that these guys are one of the dot com era's big success stories. They are running with a code base of about five million SLOC in C++ and Java, with a regular rhythm of releases that pushes out a new system very two weeks. It's really a joy to step inside a company where things seem to be clicking: they've got a good business model, they are growing and even hiring, and they are serious about improving their software development practices (which already are far better than the average I see in the industry). Above all, in both this company and Adobe, while there are always issues and risks to be addressed, their development teams seem to be having a good time, and that's always a sign of a healthy organization.[Read More]

I've been buried in books and papers these past two days, working to organize my thoughts sufficient to write a section on general software architecture for the Handbook. As I often do when I write, I like to lecture about what's in my head before putting fingers to keyboard, for it helps me to calibrate the coherency and scope of what I'm trying to say. I have a series of such lectures over the next two weeks, and so I've assembled a PowerPoint presentation on general software architecture.
I must offer my sincere thanks to Philippe Kruchten who is the source of many of the ideas (and some of the slides themselve) in this deck. I can't express enough how much I have learned from Philippe over the years: I believe I've said before that I've encountered only a handful of world-class software architects around the world in my career - and Philippe is one of them.[Read More]

Clearing My Backlog
gbooch 120000P81R 2 Comments 1,295 Views
I've been off the air for a bit for purely mechanical reasons: it seems that the IBM developerWorks blogs have been rehosted to a new hardware platform, and the mechanism we'd put in place to mirror my blog from here to the IBM site was broken. The good news is that the bean on the IBM end has been fixed, but the bad news is that there remain some firewall issues on the IBM hosting side that require meetings and memos; in short, it's no longer a technical problem, but a process problem. I'd been waiting to post here until the mirrroring mechanism was fixed, but since it looks like it will take some time, I've decided not to wait, for I have a number of things in the queue to talk about (and in the meantime, we'll probably toss a human in the process to manually repost from the Handbook to the IBM site).
Where to begin? Well, over the weekend, I crushed and melted my remaing PC, and so now my life is pretty much running on a Powerbook (with a few bits sprinkled across the other Macintosh and Linux boxes, of course). I have about 99% of everything I need on this machine: I can VPN, Eclipse has been solid on this platform for some time, Lotus Notes works wonderfully, I've moved over to AdiumX to fuse all of my instant messaging needs, and with having the moral equivalent of Unix under the hood, there's a wealth of developer toys at my disposal. Oh, and I have so much more free time on my hands now that I no longer have to deal with the daily whining and surprising/aberrrant/mystical behavior of a high maintenance Windows XP installation.
Another random thought that needs to be aired: as I continue to unearth the handbook's architectures, and in the context of a couple of recent customer architectural engagements, it's clear that there is a curious relationship between the angst a team vocalizes regarding their difficulty in instituting a reasonable configuration management (CM) practice and the underlying architecture of that system. In short, some of that angst is offten legitimately an issue with the CM tools themselves (performance, usually), but my take is that most of that angst is really a manifestation of the project having a poorly architected system in the first place. If you don't have an architecture with a clear separation of concerns among components, then it's really quite difficult to impose a meaningfuly CM strategy upon it at all.
Yet another random observation: in the September 13th issue of Infoworld, Tom Yager discusses the future of Intel's Itanium, noting that for Intel to succeed, "Intel has to build compilers that generate deadly code for operating systems designed for serial execution." In other words, Intel's ability to develop killer software is a key competitive advantage for what is essentially a hardware company. A couple of years ago, I was at an event with Gordon Moore and I began my remarks, knowing that Gordon would be talking next, by saying that while I certainly respect his work and the work of Intel, they would have nothing but a pile of pretty sand were it not for the software that ran on their chips. Gordon, not surprisingly, began his remarks by saying that my software would be lifeless without his hardware. I suppose this is the yin and yang of our industry: software without hardware would be like, well, a fish without a bicycle or a hunting trip without an accordian.
Last item in the backlog: in a number of my public presentations, I've talked about the limits of software, the factors that separate our vision from execution. Well, I finally got around to writing up that particular riff in a short paper, which you'll find here.[Read More]

The Science of Design

One of my all-time favorite books is the late Herbert Simon's The Sciences of the Artificial. The Directorate of Computer and Information Science and Engineering of the
National Science Foundation has kicked off an effort with some roots in Simon's work, on the topic of the science of design. Last November, the Directorate conduced a workshop on the topic, observing that "no major research effort has addressed the science of design in a comprehensive, systematic manner, with a particular emphasis on software and software-intensive systems." Indeed, this is one of the motivations behind my handbook: our industry is often so busy building things that we rarely step back and study how we built them.
I'm still slogging away on my research for the general architecture section of the handbook. The papers I extracted from the ACM and IEEE digital libraries have kept me quite occupied.[Read More]

A special kind of homecoming

Kim Santostefano said that her daughter Marianna, a ninth-grader who sang with the Concert Chorale during the reopening concert, was sad about not being in the high school. "I tell you, she wasn't happy when she came to the middle school," said the Inwood resident, who works as a lunch aide at the Number Five School, covers the front desk at the middle school and helps with the after-school program at the Number Two School. "She was very happy when [the high school] was rebuilt."
A closed high school wasn't good for the community, according to Penny and Rick Berkowitz of Atlantic Beach, who said that it added fuel to the controversy over the proposed sale of the closed Number Six School. The sale was voted down by district residents in a public referendum.
The Berkowitzes said they were glad that the district held the concert to commemorate the auditorium's reopening. Their son Brandon, a sophomore, plays trombone in the wind ensemble, which also performed. "It's nice to see parents come here to support the community," Rick said.
His wife added, "It's good for the kids to get back to what they're used to."

Empathy is not a 2 year old's thing. You have to make biting something they are sorry they did in a self-centered way - it has to impact the biter DIRECTLY. Your showing him anything to do with the sibling and the effects of having been bitten is great (they have to learn empathy somehow), but it isn't going to deter the behavior because the effect you are showing him doesn't have anything to do with him as the biter.
As for how to make it count for HIM personally, I have no idea. I'm not for corporal punishment at all, but it has to be pesonal and "painful" enough personally that he thinks twice about ever biting again. It has to cost HIM something. And, the hurt of someone else is not a cost to him at this age.

In line with what Kar is saying- say No biting, removing the biter to a time out (Crib, play pen, etc-some place where you can remove yourself to care for the bitee), take care of the bitee. At the end of the timeout (1 min for 1 year of age) go, have the biter say sorry.
Removing them from the fun/action/environment/compassion/attention is what is going to impact them at this age.
Is he teething? Is he doing it around certaing times? (hungry, tired, over stimulated?) Look at the when to see if there's a pattern to try and redirect him/impact the cause. Earlier snack/quiet time/cold teether.
Good luck!

She is teething, I know she has a two year molar coming in., but so does he, he has two coming! Ok,time outs here we go...
Re: Biting???

Time outs get mixed reviews and to be successful they take commitment and unwaivering consistency from parents willing to ignore their very unhappy toddler. If you decided CIO would work for your family and you followed a CIO regimen that led to success, you might be a good candidate to try timeouts, but if CIO wasn't your thing maybe not. They take nerves and commitment of steel.
timeouts aren't the only form of non-corporal punishment that will be good currency for a child that age.
ETA: if you decide timeout is something you do want to try, I suggest reading a number of sets of guidelines from different sources and see what matches your style best and go with that instead of making it up yourself. There are at least age v times that are well proven - no need to reinvent the wheel. :)
Re: Biting???

Kar, I disagree slightly with your CIO/timeout analogy. i see how you can compare the two in that they both require consistency and the parents having to watch/allow the child to cry to achieve an end goal. However, the big difference is a time out is very short whereas CIO can be a long process, lasting hours if necessary. They generally say that you keep the timeouts to a minute per how old the child is. So for a 26 month old, two minutes tOps. the parents can choose a time out spot, like a corner of the room, the bottom step, a pack n play etc. whereas CIO takes place in the crib, lights out etc.

Good point, rama - thanks for the added insight on the timing difference and related parental tolerance between them.
It can work great, but I've seen it be a hopeless disaster, as well, and it seems to depend on having and sticking with a tried and true plan that's worked out well in advance of the next time DS chomps on his bro. There are methods out there that make it more likely to succeed, but they all involve not caving in to his desire to leave timeout, his dismay with being punished, and tears. :(
Re: Biting???

Honestly, the biting will stop eventually - either sooner or later - and it's probably related to the fact that you daughter's teeth HURT. Yes, her brother's (the victim) teeth hurt, too, but some children are more prone to bite than others are. Just as some will hit when frustrated or want something, others will cry and whine, others will pinch and grab....
While biting hurts and seems like such a horrible action, it is totally age appropriate for children up to 2, 21/2 yrs old. I'd say a 4 yr old biting is not age appropriate, but for a toddler, it's still about the fact that they can't express their desires or frustrations, combined with the fact that their teeth are hurting which makes them focus on their mouth - and teeth.
So, yes, notice when it happens and what's happening right before the bite. She is teething, so she's going to be more prone to do this for the next week or so. Is she doing it because he took something of her's? Or just reached across her face, getting "into her space?" Was it right before lunch or bed, so she's also hungry or tired? Did she not sleep well last night so is tired?
Help them to begin speaking and using their words to solve problems - keep the phrase you encourage them to say very SHORT. One grabs the truck? Tell the victim 'say no, my truck' - you don't want to overburden them with a paragraph they are supposed to say. Then you say 'You can't grab, but you can have another truck.'
Just keep at it, this will pass, I promise, and make sure you put an icepack on the bite, it helps to kill the pain. At our childcare center, we shadow children who bite so that they are never very far from an adult who can stop the bite in process and the teeth don't end up in another shoulder or arm. You may need to hover a bit more over their play than you usually do.
Re: Biting???
posted at 4/14/2013 11:23 PM EDT
Thanks ladies. I'm trying to hover - I grabbed her twice when I saw the mouth opening, and once when she had no idea why I was grabbing her, she wasn't going after himthat time. I've never seen this behavior before 2 days ago :-(. She is a bit smaller and he does tend to take (whatever), but one of those episodes was just that he got too close. The irony is that she's the talker, she has words and has been able to say "no" until now... When we talk afterwards, she can tell me she made him cry, that she bit and it hurt him. But then she tries it again
On the same vein. They aren't in cribs (long time, were climbing out at 17 mos), and they can both climb out of playpen in a second. But corner of room or bottom step - at this age they won't stay unless I sit there beside them and make them...
Other than sitting them on your lap and holding them, suggestions on how you enforce a timeout with a 2 yr old?
Re: Biting???
posted at 4/15/2013 8:53 AM EDT
Malw-if she's teething, and its not a behavioral thing, I'd focus more on the hovering, offering more cold teethers, (motrin, highland teething tablets-what ever you feel comfortable with) to help with the pain. If she bites again, she doesn't get your attention, he gets your attention. She says sorry at the end. It will pass in a week or two.
Do they go to day care? I ask because DD's teachers claim all the kids go through biting phases at the same time. randomly for a week or two everyones biting everyone.
When DS was that age he was horrible at staying in time out-hence the suggestion to put the biter in a safe spot, walk away to tend to the bitee. I'd look for some books on parenting with twins-that's a whole different challenge! When DS got older we started with Magic-1-2-3 and found that helpful.
Re: Biting???
posted at 4/15/2013 9:37 AM EDT
My kids have never stayed in a time out. I try and give the toys they are playing with a time out instead. But for biting I always remove the biter from the situation. Even if I have to sit with him on the step or put him in the pack & play and stand there. I had a no-tolerance policy. You bite for whatever reason, you get removed from whatever you were doing.
I also showed a lot of love and care for the victim.
It's a phase that will pass - but I'd hover and try and keep it from happening to save your poor victim twin from too much pain!
Good luck!

When mine was two, showing that we were angry/disappointed with her was very effective. If you put her in time out, and she leaves it, then put her back. If you have to do it 10 times, then do it. Consistency is all.
I remember my just two year old niece biting her baby brother. She did it purposefully; she wanted to hurt him because he was taking Mom's attention away. It really has nothing to do with teething. Giving her special/extra cold teethers will have no effect. Taking your attention away from the biter and giving it to the bitee is more likely to be effective.
Re: Biting???
posted at 5/5/2013 12:23 PM EDT
Most two year olds aren't able to be in time out - that whole "number of minutes per their age" tihng may be fine at 3 or 4 yrs old, but at 2 yrs old, most children don't have the self control to stay on the step/in the chair/in their rooms (without opening the door) for any minutes, never mind 2!
So, yes, they may be told to find something else to do if they are throwing blocks after a reminder or two. "You can't throw the blocks. Can you build up high, look, can you put it on top of mine?" that child will either build with the blocks or throw again. if building, great, you keep playing and building (then knock it down and build again). if the child throws (and many will, because they just want to be throwing, not building stupid blocks in a stupid tower, ha ha) then you calmly say "you can't throw the blocks. Let's go get the balls and throw them. Or let's go get playdough and use that (because if you don't allow ball throwing in your house, and you can't go outside in that moment for about 1000 reasons, you want to find something physical for your child, not sitting down and doing puzzles because your child is needing something physical in that moment, not cerebral). And then you FOLLOW THROUGH by taking your child's hand and doing that thing. You don't just direct them to go and hope they go, because they won't. Again, they are 2 yrs old.
Remember, though, if your other twin is playing properly with the blocks, you can't clean up the blocks becuase other twin (or other sibling) is throwing htem. Not fair, and I've seen many parents do it because it's easier than dealing with the throwing child. So it's back to paragraph one if there are 2 or more children using said blocks.
Shadow, shadow, shadow, hover, hover, hover and your child will stop biting in a week or so because you'll stop it (and I wouldn't even speak when I caught and redirected - I just take the child's face and move it away, or move the biter in a different direction, so that the biter doesn't hear "no biting, no biting" a thousand times a day. The less said the better, because even negative attention is attention and a child craves attention. Once a child stops biting so much, they tend to stop attempting so much because it's moved farther back in their mind.
there are just some children for whom it occurs to bite and others it doesn't - doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that child, etc. Now, a 4 yr old or older shouldn't be biting, period, and if that chlid is biting, then there is a problem. I mean a 4 yr old who is developmentally on target with language, cognitive development, and emotional development, etc., not a child with special needs or with emotional problems.
Re: Biting???
posted at 5/5/2013 2:20 PM EDT
Thanks ladies. I may be naive or overly optimistic, but the biting seems to have stopped as suddenly as it started. We had the two events, they were terrible - fortunately nothing since.
CT, it's so true - its so tempting to tailor what we do, to whoever is misbehaving. Whether its cleaning up the blocks, the direction of the walk or which book we read. It takes being that much more thoughtful to not reinforce "bad" accidently....

ATLANTA -- The three-year-old Georgia State University Marching Band has been selected to perform in the parade for the second inauguration of President Barack Obama, Jan. 21.
"It's extraordinary," said Chester Phillips, assistant professor of music and director of athletic bands at the university. "We just are so excited that three years of hard work has paid off with such a high honor. Our selection is due to the students' outstanding work and the collaborative efforts of everyone involved."
The band began forming in 2009 prior to the start of football at Georgia State. Band officials designed uniforms, selected instruments and assembled staff to work with students as they prepared for kickoff in September 2010 at the Georgia Dome.
"We've been working diligently every season since then to raise our level of entertainment, energy and excellence we give to the audience," Phillips said.
The university applied for participation in the parade by submitting video of the marching band, audio recordings, photos, a narrative about the band and its history, and letters of support from the Georgia Congressional delegation, Gov. Nathan Deal and former Ambassador Andrew Young, the namesake of the university's School of Policy Studies.
Inauguration officials received more than 2,000 applications from groups wishing to participate in the parade.
Marching band members will report to rehearsals prior to the first week of classes, which start Jan. 14, Phillips said. The band will travel to Washington, D.C., Jan. 18, and the parade begins at 2:30 p.m., Jan. 21, after the inauguration ceremony and president's luncheon.

Michelle Obama lets wardrobe take back seat
NEW YORK Michelle Obama has proven her fashion savvy time and again since she was introduced as first lady in a lemongrass-yellow sheath and coat by Isabel Toledo on Inauguration Day 2009 - so much so that we don't discuss it nearly as much as we used to.
Four years ago, there was a daily barrage in the media: Jason Wu gown! J. Crew gloves! Jimmy Choo shoes! It remained that way for months and even years.
There was the Naeem Khan beaded strapless gown for the first state dinner in the Obama White House, the black racer-back dress by Michael Kors worn in her official portrait. Her wardrobe for the Obamas' state visit to England, including the white cross-neck halter gown by Tom Ford she wore to a black-tie event with Queen Elizabeth in London, and the fiery red Alexander McQueen she wore the for the state dinner the Obamas hosted for China generated news around the globe.
Even more recently, her pink Tracy Reese dress was practically an honored guest at the Democratic National Convention in September, and one of the moments so many are eagerly anticipating on Monday is when she'll emerge in her gown for the inaugural balls.
But she's figured out a way to largely move the focus from her style to her substance.
"What's really interesting about the first lady is that she's been able to incorporate the fact that she's stylish into a much larger persona," says Ariel Foxman, managing editor of InStyle magazine.
In the early going, there was intense focus on what she'd wear "because we hadn't seen a first lady who had such an innate style and sense of color - and great arms," he adds. "It's been exciting to see a first lady embracing fashion by remaining consistently interesting and diverse in her fashion choices, and in doing that, she's been able to draw attention elsewhere."
She probably doesn't want the first question when she visits a school to promote healthy living to be about her sneakers, and she doesn't want the print of her dress to steal the thunder of a speech about veterans.
"Consistency has made her look much more matter of fact," Foxman adds.
Yet in an age of the overused term "style icon," Obama is one of the few modern women to deserve it. In the past four years she has adeptly walked - usually in kitten heels or ballet flats - the line between directional fashionista and everywoman.
She has a pretty deep tool box and she knows how to use it, says Kevan Hall, a Los Angeles-based designer. "Every designer wants to dress her," he says. (She has worn his label.)
"Just like any woman, she wants to look pretty, and I think she's having fun with it. It must be fun to be a girl with a big White House closet," Hall says, noting all the events, galas and speeches to dress up for.
She looks comfortable in clothes that can be a little edgy, and, Hall says, women find that inspiring.
Nick Verreos, fashion designer, "Project Runway" alum and instructor at Los Angeles' Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, was the host four years ago in Washington of the California State Society's luncheon celebrating inaugural fashion. "It has been a great journey watching her," he says.
He credits her with putting daytime dresses back on the map. After years of women favoring separates and jeans, Obama came along in her sheaths and A-lines. Then they were a trend on runways, malls and Main Streets.

This pleasant coastal village in the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata-Níjar is the perfect base for a relaxing holiday, with its whitewashed houses arranged in tiers up the mountainside, a busy small marina, and beautiful beaches. Note the domed roofs on some of the houses here, an architectural feature typical of the Almería region, the purpose of which is to keep the main room of the house cool in summer.
