After more than 4 months of non-stop battling and being away from work for more than 2, I've come to several realizations.
I am generally someone who is used to setting schedules. Complete task A by next week, achieve task B in 2 days. That sort of thing. I like milestones. It's just my programmer's/management instincts at work. Progress has to be in the form of something trackable so I feel more encouraged.
But apparently, you can't force a schedule on your body's recovery.
I've aimed to "get well by June". Didn't work. "Okay, two more weeks to settle things." Didn't work either. "Okay, I give it until end of July." Nope, nope, nope. The fever continued and I got more and more frustrated.
Eventually, I decided to let my body set its own pace. And I put myself into zen mode. Stop forcing my body, stop overthinking, overanalyzing. Just do what I need to do to help – complete rest, lots of water, meds.
Instead. I set schedules on my action plans. If I don't feel better in 5 days, do X. If minimal improvement in 2 weeks, do Y.
X and Y may or may not help. Usually it doesn't. But at least, it's some semblance of control. This whole thing was seemingly out of my control and I didn't like it.
Not giving up, and looking forward to better days.
Courage is not something you already have that makes you brave when the tough times start. Courage is what you earn when you've been through the tough times and you discover they aren't so tough after all.
- David & Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell
Though it's getting a little harder, considering how it's been 2 months and counting.
I'm pretty much home-ridden now. And no matter how I had sought to make my room my 'ultimate hang out spot' much earlier this year, I realized it's possible to get absolutely sick of it.
Work kept me going for a while, until I found it difficult to navigate stairs. After 3 close-to-passing-out moments in and around the office, I made the difficult decision to work from home.
Many a time, I find myself missing my normal life.
Going to work every weekday like a regular person.
Having the freedom to just get out of the house to walk anywhere I want, whenever I want.
Having regular conversations with people that do not revolve around health and "eh, what happened to you?".
I'm still trying to psych myself into thinking that there is a good side to all these. Like hey, you still CAN work (albeit from home). You have not lost your mental capacity to write amazing code. You're still making a worthwhile contribution to society. (As for the mental capacity to think rationally, well … that's rather debatable now.)
And the fact that mum and I are much, much closer than before. She's been really supportive the past 2 months and a half, taking me out for drives when I whine about being too bored at home, spending all her free time with me in the hospital when I was admitted, stocking the house with ample supplies of isotonic drinks and uh, comfort food.
Not to mention how much I prefer to be alone right now and home is the perfect place for me to get all reclusive. (And I'm still pretty much ignoring all my texts as well – sorry, friends. Really. Don't. Want. To. Talk. About. It.)
And that every day is a step closer to full recovery (I hope). I still feel like crap now but I guess I just have to be patient.

ASHBURN, Va. — There was a major sigh of relief at Redskins Park on Wednesday when Washington rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III practiced and showed no effects from a mild concussion.
Barring any unexpected setbacks between now and Sunday, Griffin will start against the visiting Minnesota Vikings.
"It's a serious issue, but I felt fine when I left the locker room" after being injured in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Griffin said. "I went home, watched some TV and kinda just relaxed. I haven't had any symptoms at all. Practice went good. I felt sharp. I felt good. No symptoms of a concussion: no dizziness or (feeling) off-balance. I feel right today. We'll see what happens come Sunday."
Against the Falcons, Griffin was hit by Atlanta linebacker Sean Witherspoon while scrambling on third-and-goal in a 7-7 game, which the Redskins lost 24-17.

While Griffin, the No. 2 overall pick in April's draft, has been doing well since last Sunday, coach Mike Shanahan limited his participation in Wednesday's practice — even though quarterbacks wear gold jerseys to prevent them from sustaining contact.
"So far so good," Shanahan said. "He had a good practice today. I thought he performed well. Each day we'll monitor him, and if he feels good, we're gonna go with him."
Fujita scolds Goodell
BEREA, Ohio — With as much purpose as any tackle he's ever made, Scott Fujita delivered a shot to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Angered by Goodell's handling of the New Orleans Saints' bounties scandal, Fujita accused the commissioner of misusing his power, questioned his record on player safety, and the Browns linebacker vowed to keep fighting to clear his name.
"The commissioner says he is disappointed in me," Fujita said. "The truth is, I'm disappointed in him."
On Tuesday, Goodell reduced Fujita's three-game suspension to one.
• Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn, a former first-round draft pick, will make his first start in almost three years against the Buccaneers in Tampa, Fla. Matt Cassel has not been medically cleared to participate and did not practice.
Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel didn't rule Cassel out of Sunday's game, but given that the NFL demands caution with players who have suffered a concussion, as Cassel did last week against the Baltimore Ravens, that appears to be a formality.
• Green Bay Packers running back Cedric Benson, who has 71 of the team's 111 carries, was put on injured reserve because of a sprained left foot, but was designated to return. He must sit out eight games before he can play again, though he will be eligible to practice after six weeks.
• The Carolina Panthers said Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil is out for the season after suffering a torn ligament in his left foot against the Seahawks.
• Buffalo Bills defensive end Mark Anderson will have surgery on his left knee and will be out indefinitely.

About Us
Lindsay Bell & Tammy Gold have partnered together with our respective staffs, to re-launch NY Nanny Center - one of NYC's Best Nanny Agencies. Our nanny agency, is the first nanny agency and nanny placement service run by licensed psychotherapists, certified coaches, former nannies and teachers who match families with nannies suited to the specific developmental needs of their child.

The Difference
Merging the 25 year track record of the NY Nanny Center and the therapeutic assessment tools created in my book, our nannies go through a rigorous recruitment process which evaluates each prospective nanny based on psychological and social behavior profiles as well as their childcare skills and experience. We know that "one nanny does not fit all" and our nannies are evaluated on their abilities to deliver the specific developmental needs of children from infancy to teen-hood. Psychological research proves that each of these childhood stages requires a specific set of care giving skills.

Greek Chicken Tossed Salad Recipe
"I came up with this salad for a work luncheon, and everyone loved the combination," recalls Susan Harman of Pacifica, California. "Using pre-sliced mushrooms and pepperoncinis, pre-crumbled feta cheese and bottled salad dressing makes it a great time-saver, too."

- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup pitted ripe olives, drained
- 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini

- 25 to 30 pieces breaded chicken nuggets, baked according to package directions, optional
- 1. In a large salad bowl, combine the first six ingredients. If desired add 5-6 cooked chicken nuggets. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 5 servings.

Man, I feel terrible for the guy. This stuff is REALLY bad.
Here are the opertive approaches:
1. Arthroscopic debridement
2. Microfracture articular restoration
3. Lateral release
4. Soft-tissue realignment of the extensor mechanism
5. Osteotomies of the tibial tubercle
6. Mosiacplasty/autologous chondrocyte implantation
7. Lateral patella partial facetectomy
8. Patellectomy (removal of the kneecap)
9. Total knee replacement
And as this wasn't enough:
"While operative replacement of any portion of the knee joint is one of the last options,it is often the only good choice left when other treatments fail of result in increased pain. We have found a definite trend of more rapid recovery,better function, more predictable return to work,and decreased dependency on pain medication with this operation. Patients can become very depressed and socially drained by the stress of constant pain and ineffectual prior treatment. Patellofemoral replacement offers more predictable relief from these problems in our experience."

Central Washington University could move forward on long-term operations plans next year without a tuition increase, under terms of a proposed two-year state operating budget. The proposal, agreed to by House and Senate conferees, was released late Thursday evening and is expected to move through the legislature and to the desk of Governor Jay Inslee by Saturday.
"This is a good proposal; for the next year it will allow us to move forward on the long-term strategic plan we've set for the university," said CWU president James L. Gaudino. "We are very appreciative of the work our local legislators have done on behalf of CWU and hope sustained improvement in the economy will allow continued state support for public higher education."
The budget, agreed to by House and Senate budget leaders, restores about $7.8 million in CWU's budget and freezes tuition for the 2013-2014 school year. In the second year of the biennium, 2014-2015, universities could increase tuition, but would have to mitigate the effects of increases on low-income students.
The draft budget includes two special directives for CWU. The first charges CWU with developing a plan to create an "online degree-granting entity that awards degrees based on an alternative credit model." The model, which could include granting academic credit for work experience, must be submitted to the higher education committees of the legislature by December 1, 2013.
The proposed budget also provides $25,000 for the College of Education to conduct a study "identifying the percent of a teacher's typical day that is spent on teaching related duties and the percentage of the teacher's day that is spent on duties that are not directly related to teaching." The university shall submit a report to the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1, 2013.
The legislature has not yet presented a draft agreement on a two-year construction budget.

They are very nice people. They have a pool, but it was to cold to enjoy when we were there. It did look nice. There are many permanent sites. - cjohn
Feb 2011 - $25.00
This is an adult park and approximately 75% are permanent sites but the staff and residents are some of the most friendly and helpful we have found anywhere. There are activities almost every day and a large church service every Sunday plus a jam session Sunday afternoon during season. The streets are all paved and each site has a concrete patio. Almost all head back north in March so not many activities off season. There is a Wal-Mart 5 miles down the road and some great places to eat. We stayed for 2 weeks and cost is the nightly charge for a week. We will be back next year for a month. - sam&laura

Stayed with a FUMC group. Lots of the sites have concrete pads and are owned but there are spots for overnight and long term rental. There is a very nice area next to the office with a kitchen that we used for cooking and for eating. The den/book area is there and also a nice sitting area. There is also a very large facility where they play bingo, have church, and other activities. There is a fenced dog area. Many of the sites have large oak trees so there is shade. The pool and pool area looked nice and clean but we did not use it. We stayed 3 nights and when we walked we could smell the orange blossoms in adjacent areas. There is a golf course not 1/4 mile down the road and there is shopping and fast food eating several miles down the road toward Wauchula. We enjoyed our stay. We backed up on 2 slices of concrete but the site itself was grassy. - leciel19

This RV park has owner lots for rent and a few Park Owned sites available to drop ins. Their web site claims a putting green and golf course, and PGA teaching Pro but there is no putting green and the Golf Course is not affiliated with the RV Park and there is no PGA Teaching Pro. We found out the park has been repossessed by the bank as the previous owner/manager defaulted on the loan and it is now for sale by the bank. We have stayed here on several occasions over the past few years. There is a pecking order in this park but there are many friendly people as well as several hi brow snobs. - Pfiddler

Oklahoma City man arrested after fighting over dirty dishes
A domestic dispute over dirty dishes landed an Oklahoma City man in jail, police said.
Tom Anthony Crimm, 54, was arrested on complaints of domestic abuse and assault and battery, as well as city warrants for driving under revocation. Crimm also goes by Jimmy Leon Little, according to court documents.
Police responded shortly after 6 p.m. Monday to a disturbance in the 1400 block of SW 61. They found Crimm standing in the middle of the street with blood coming from his face, according to the report.
An officer spoke with Crimm's son-in-law, who said Crimm came home from work and became angry that he was going to have to do the dishes. The son-in-law said he began to do the dishes and told Crimm to forget about it.
Crimm walked up behind him and punched him in the face, the son-in-law told police. He walked out of the house and called 911 and then Crimm punched him in the face two more times, according to the report.
The son-in-law told the officer he was defending himself and punched his father-in-law in the face four times, causing Crimm to lose consciousness. The man said he stopped punching Crimm when he fell to the ground.
Crimm told police he was mad about doing the dishes after being at work all day while his son-in-law is home all day.
Crimm was taken to Integris Southwest Medical Center to be treated for his injuries and for high blood pressure.
He is in the Oklahoma County jail being held without bail set.

Poem Title:
It seemed that out of the battle I escaped Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped Through granites which Titanic wars had groined. Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned, Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred. Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and stared With piteous recognition in fixed eyes, Lifting distressful hands as if to bless. And by his smile, I knew that sullen hall; With a thousand fears that vision's face was grained; Yet no blood reached there from the upper ground, And no guns thumped, or down the flues made moan. "Strange, friend," I said, "Here is no cause to mourn." "None," said the other, "Save the undone years, The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours, Was my life also; I went hunting wild After the wildest beauty in the world, Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hair, But mocks the steady running of the hour, And if it grieves, grieves richlier than here. For by my glee might many men have laughed, And of my weeping something has been left, Which must die now. I mean the truth untold, The pity of war, the pity war distilled. Now men will go content with what we spoiled. Or, discontent, boil bloody, and be spilled. They will be swift with swiftness of the tigress, None will break ranks, though nations trek from progress. Courage was mine, and I had mystery; Wisdom was mine, and I had mastery; To miss the march of this retreating world Into vain citadels that are not walled. Then, when much blood had clogged their chariot-wheels I would go up and wash them from sweet wells, Even with truths that lie too deep for taint. I would have poured my spirit without stint But not through wounds; not on the cess of war. Foreheads of men have bled where no wounds were. I am the enemy you killed, my friend. I knew you in this dark; for so you frowned Yesterday through me as you jabbed and killed. I parried; but my hands were loath and cold. Let us sleep now . . ." (This poem was found among the author's papers. It ends on this strange note.) *Another Version* Earth's wheels run oiled with blood. Forget we that. Let us lie down and dig ourselves in thought. Beauty is yours and you have mastery, Wisdom is mine, and I have mystery. We two will stay behind and keep our troth. Let us forego men's minds that are brute's natures, Let us not sup the blood which some say nurtures, Be we not swift with swiftness of the tigress. Let us break ranks from those who trek from progress. Miss we the march of this retreating world Into old citadels that are not walled. Let us lie out and hold the open truth. Then when their blood hath clogged the chariot wheels We will go up and wash them from deep wells. What though we sink from men as pitchers falling Many shall raise us up to be their filling Even from wells we sunk too deep for war And filled by brows that bled where no wounds were. *Alternative line --* Even as One who bled where no wounds were.

PUBLISHED Tue Jun 05 19:05:00 EDT 2012 0 1 / 12 Venus at Sunrise This Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on where you live, sky-watchers around the world will be able to see a cosmic spectacle known as a transit of Venus. The events are so rare that only six Venus transits have been observed since the invention of the telescope more than 400 years ago. (See a telescope time line.)Transits happen when a planet crosses between Earth and the sun. Only Mercury and Venus, which are closer to the sun than Earth, can undergo this unusual alignment.The last Venus transit was in 2004—above, the planet glides across the rising sun in a picture taken during the event from the North Carolina coastline. After 2012, we won't see another transit of Venus until 2117.(Find out how to see the 2012 transit of Venus.)"People watching this event through some form of safe solar viewer will see the small, dark silhouette of Venus crossing the sun's face over the course of about six hours," said Jay Pasachoff, an astronomer at Williams College in Massachusetts. (Read a Q&A with Pasachoff about Venus transits.)"The effect won't be visually impressive, but that black dot against the sun is a remarkable thing to see."—Andrew Fazekas Photograph by David Cortner, Galaxy Picture Library/Alamy Evening Star Venus hangs low in the evening twilight near a razor-thin crescent moon in an undated picture taken from Troms County in northern Norway.As a prelude to this week's transit, nighttime observers may have noticed that Venus seems to be sinking toward the western evening horizon, as the planet appears to approach the sun.Transits of Venus are so rare because the planet's orbit is tilted just over three degrees from the plane of the solar system. This means that most of the time Venus passes above or below the sun's disk, as seen from Earth.On average, we see four transits of Venus within 243 years. The events happen in pairs spaced eight years apart, separated by more than a century. (Related: "Venus Spinning Slower Than Thought—Scientists Stumped.") Photograph by H. Baesemann, Blickwinkel/Alamy Purple Haze A crescent Venus shines in an ultraviolet snapshot taken by the NASA-ESA Hubble Space Telescope in 1995. As Venus circles the sun, it appears to go through phases that mimic those of our moon when seen through a telescope. (Related: "'Hot Jupiter' Planet's Phases Seen—A First.")Venus has been getting closer to Earth ahead of the 2012 transit, and the planet's disk has been appearing to not only grow bigger but also to morph from a full disk to a thinning crescent.In the final few days before the transit, the ends of the crescent will appear to wrap around the planet's disk, forming a ring. This phenomenon is caused by dust in Venus's upper atmosphere scattering sunlight. Image courtesy ESA/NASA Safety in Stargazers Japanese schoolchildren huddle around a projected image of the sun at the Yokohama Science Center during the 2004 transit of Venus.Staring directly at the sun without eye protection can concentrate incoming ultraviolet and infrared radiation, damaging retinal cells and possibly causing blindness. To watch safely, observers should always use special "eclipse glasses" or telescopes equipped with solar filters.Perhaps the safest way to watch the transit of Venus is to make a pinhole camera, said Pasachoff, who is also a National Geographic Society Committee for Research and Exploration grantee. (National Geographic News is a division of the Society.)To do so, cut a hole about a quarter-inch (0.6-centimeter) wide in a piece of cardboard paper, and use the hole to project an image of the sun onto a flat surface, such as a wall or sidewalk. Photograph by Itsuo Inouye, AP Sunrise Transit Venus—and a pelican—glide across the solar disk in 2004, when viewers on Flagler Beach Pier, Florida, saw the sun rise with a Venus transit already underway.During the 2012 transit, "Venus's diameter will appear only about a 30th the diameter of the sun, so it will be ... like a pea in front of a watermelon," barely visible to the naked eye, Pasachoff said. Photograph by Jim Tiller, Daytona Beach News-Journal/AP Edging Closer NASA's sun-watching satellite Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) caught an extraordinarily clear closeup view of Venus entering the sun's disk during the 2004 transit.Scientifically, the most important parts of a Venus transit are the moments when the planet appears to enter and leave the sun's disk, Pasachoff said.Timing exactly when the planet crossed the solar limb from different locations helped 18th-century astronomers more precisely measure the distance between Earth and the sun. Today scientists hope to use the Venus transit to study the planet's upper atmosphere.(Related: "Venus Craft Reveals Lightning, Supports Watery Past.") Image courtesy TRACE/NASA Hole in the Sun An ultraviolet view from TRACE shows Venus as a dark dot on the sun during the 2004 transit.For the 2012 transit of Venus, scientists will use the Hubble Space Telescope to help improve techniques for finding and characterizing planets around other stars, aka exoplanets.The hope is that Hubble's activity will be a good parallel to observations currently being carried out by NASA's Kepler spacecraft, which looks for dips in starlight caused by planets transiting their host stars, as seen from Earth.(Related: "NASA Finds Smallest Earthlike Planet Outside Solar System.") Image courtesy TRACE/NASA Admiring Beauty A satirical 1793 print plays on the public interest in Venus transits, which were of great historical significance.During the transits of the 18th century, astronomers went on treks across the globe to time how long it took for Venus to cross the solar disk. (Related: "Journals of Captain Cook Go Online.")"In 1716, Edmond Halley figured out how, if you could time a transit's duration from places both far north and far south on Earth, you could make a long skinny triangle to Venus and figure out how far away it is, by seeing where on the sun Venus's silhouette is projected," Pasachoff said.This simple trigonometry allowed scientists to calculate a more exact distance between Earth and the sun, which in turn gave astronomers a way to measure distances to the other planets in the solar system. Photograph from Science Museum/SSPL/Getty Images Lovely Landscape Orbiting spacecrafts can map the planets of our solar system in detail, as seen, for instance, in this 1991 topographic map of Venus by NASA's Magellan probe.But transits remain among the best methods for hunting and characterising planetary systems around other stars.NASA's Kepler, for example, has racked up 61 confirmed planets and more than 2,300 planetary candidates by watching for the tiny dips in starlight as exoplanets transit their hosts. Image courtesy SVS/Magellan/NASA Venusian Skies Rays from the sun pierce Venus's thick, cloud-covered atmosphere and light up the barren landscape in an artist's illustration.Transits of planets around other stars are being used to search for worlds that may harbor life. A tiny portion of the light from an exoplanet's host star will pass through that planet's atmosphere, which could reveal properties such as the telltale presence of water or methane. (Related: "First Exoplanet With CO2 Heats Up Hunt for Other Earths.")However, "since the stars are so far away that no details can be seen, those exoplanet transits are visible only in the total light of the star," Pasachoff said. Scientists therefore have to make a number of estimates when analyzing transit data to tease out a planet's atmospheric properties.Watching how the sun's light changes during the 2012 Venus transit can show astronomers whether their calculations capture the known properties of a nearby planet, helping them to refine their models for studying more distant worlds."Understanding the details of a transit in our own system can be the key to unlocking the transits of exoplanets in faraway solar systems," Pasachoff said. Image courtesy CIL/GSFC/NASA Day at the Beach Telescopes at the ready, amateur astronomers stake out a picturesque outcrop to watch the 2004 transit of Venus from Huntington Reservation in Cleveland, Ohio.The 2012 transit promises to be one of the most observed and most recorded astronomical events in history, in part because it'll be visible in its entirety from the western Pacific, eastern Asia, eastern Australia, and high northern latitudes. (See a visibility map for the transit of Venus.)For North America, the first half of the transit will be visible late Tuesday afternoon, while for much of Europe the sun will rise on Wednesday with the transit already in progress.

Lame excuses will not help....
Kiwibank's profits have fallen $24.6 million or 54% in the last year and its chief executive says lingering effects of the GFC and earthquakes in Canterbury are to blame.
The state-owned bank reported a net profit of $21.2 million for the year to June 30 as operating revenue increased $51.6 million to $353 million.
Customer preferences for more lucrative floating mortgage rates helped lift net interest income by almost $58 million to $191.3 million.
Bad debts blew out to $87.1 million for the year, compared with $19.5 million last year, but chief executive Paul Brock said the majority were "one offs", which allowed the bank to be confident in the year ahead.
"We feel we're over the hump and through the one-offs – the last quarter has reflected that," he said.
Fierce competition in the domestic loan and deposit had put pressure on margins, but that the bank continued to perform well in both sectors, said Mr Brock.
Retail deposits grew 14% from $6.9 billion to $7.9 billion and loans and advances rose 10% from $10.4 billion to $11.5 billion.
Deposits now contributed 80% of the bank's funding and it would probably be next year before the bank returned to international markets for a top-up, he said.
Customer loyalty was strong and Mr Brock customer losses were expected to be below the rates of than other banks.
Kiwibank had captured more than its natural share of the mortgage market with aggressive short-term fixed and variable rate offers, said Mr Brock.
The bank's personal banking market share was still growing and the bank had more than 750,000 customers.
Focused remained on growing its small and medium-sized business banking client base where there were "significant opportunities for growth, said Mr Brock.
Plans to enter the life and mortgage insurance market but were revealed but details were scant, other than that the products would represent "best value".
"We're looking at a broad, mainstream offer that represents good value for New Zealanders," he said.
New Zealand's economic headwinds were taking a while to through to the bank, but Mr Brock said he believed the worst was behind them and there were positive signs for growth and an improved financial performance.
"The global financial crisis compounded by the earthquake has made things tough, but the bank is in strong shape and has weathered the storm," Mr Brock said.
Mr Brock was part of the original team that established Kiwibank and replaced inaugural chief executive Sam Knowles in September.

NZ Post used to earn income from the bill payment system they offered before KBk was established. That income was 'transferred' to KBk to 'prove' Jim Anderton was right. Take that put of the equation and KBk has probably never made a decent rate of return. It would be interesting to see whether they made a profit this year if those fees were taken out of the picture.
Wonder whether credit ratings of these bad borrowers were properly checked....

After hearing from hundreds of parents and community members, Northshore School District is looking at four new options to its plan to redraw...
After hearing from hundreds of parents and community members, Northshore School District is looking at four new options to its plan to redraw many of its school-attendance boundaries.
The original plan proposed in September would change the boundaries of eight elementary schools and all of the district's junior highs and high schools, with most students being asked to change schools at the beginning of next school year.
Three of the four new options would offer a phased-in approach and allow some junior-high and high-school students to continue attending the schools they have expected to attend.
"We focused on the feedback we heard," said Susan Stoltzfous, spokeswoman for the district. "Some of the things that people have brought up make sense, or we hadn't thought of."
Northshore boundary changes
Northshore School District is considering four recommendations for changes to its plan to redraw school boundaries. More information about the proposal is available on the district's Web site: www.nsd.org
Option 1
• Minor street-grid changes in north and west portions of district.
Option 2a
• Minor street-grid changes in north and west portions of district.
• Implements boundary changes for elementary-school students starting fall 2007.
• Incoming seventh-graders would attend the junior-high school that the boundary changes called for starting fall 2007. Incoming 10th-graders would attend the high school that the changes called for starting next year.
• Provides waivers for current seventh- and eighth-graders who wish to stay at their junior high school through ninth grade. Also allows automatic waivers for next year's 11th-
and 12th-graders. No bus transportation would be provided for students on waivers, however.
Option 2b
• Same as Option 2a, but includes bus transportation for junior-high students who wish to remain at their current school.
• This option would cost an estimated $874,000 more than the original plan, including $432,000 to provide transportation and $400,000 to provide additional portables to continue to house some students in overcrowded schools.
Option 3
• Minor street-grid changes in north and west portions of district.
• Implements elementary-school boundary changes starting fall 2007.
• Leaves secondary feeder patterns unchanged, so junior-high and high-school students will continue to go to the school they currently attend or would attend under current school boundaries.
• This option would cost an estimated $800,000 to $3 million more than the original plan, including the cost of providing additional portables and classroom space for overcrowded junior high and high schools.
Option 4
• Minor street-grid changes in north and west portions of district.
• Implements elementary-school boundary changes starting fall 2007.
• Next year's seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders would be given automatic waivers to remain at their current junior high until they move to high school.
• Starting in 2008, 10th-graders would move to the high school the boundary changes call for.
• No bus transportation for students on waivers.

All four options include tweaks to the proposed elementary boundary changes. Most of the options also cost more than the original plan.
The School Board will have to take a close look at how much it can afford to spend on implementing the changes, because the district's budget is already stretched, Stoltzfous said.
"The board is going to have to consider the fact that the budget is not just tight but will have to shrink by $540,000 next year," she said. "It's going to be a big board decision."
The board is scheduled to vote on the boundary changes Nov. 28. The proposal is meant to balance attendance between overcrowded schools in the fast-developing north end of the district and underenrolled schools in the east.
Some parents say they are glad to see the district looking at other options.
"I see this as a step in the right direction that they are considering anything else at all," said Sirkku Willie, who has four children in Northshore schools. "I would be OK if at least my eighth-grader gets to stay at his school next year."
She and other parents say they are concerned the district's plan is a short-term solution. Some say the district isn't considering the number of new homes that will likely be built in the Bothell area, and long-term impacts of the urban-growth boundary (UGB), which runs through the middle of the school district.
The UBG is a legal boundary separating urban land, where dense development is allowed, from rural land, where little development is allowed.
"My worry is that this is really a Band-Aid," Willie said. "I'm afraid that in five years, we'll be here again, because we'll need to build a new school, and we'll have to redo the boundaries again then."
The school district thinks the new school boundaries would work for another five or six years, but after that, it isn't sure how changes to the UGB may affect new residential developments, Stoltzfous said. The district spans both King and Snohomish counties,
"There's too many variables that affect enrollment," she said. "We are realizing there's a likely chance we'll need a new school. But it's such a big investment, it's in everyone's best interest to try and find other solutions to overcrowding."

Weaving, Not Cloth: Mark Bradford
The difficulty in viewing photographs of artwork is that the camera flattens the object in its focus, relinquishing subtleties in order to capture a whole. Because his oeuvre is very subtle indeed, Mark Bradford's work requires a viewer's presence to be fully appreciated.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
Question from JediAlly
Activating Misery Beads quest?
I've reached the Padda ruins, and I know there's a Misery Beads quest where I'm supposed to give someone a Feral Behemoth tooth. I have the required item, but I can't find this woman Brenda, who's the one I'm supposed to talk to to start the quest. Can anyone point her out? I've already talked to Hope and I got the artefact from him.
4 years ago
A few quests? Which ones? You mean the ones where I need to go to different times to finish them?
4 years ago
She'll show up when you've completed a few quests beforehand, but she's a guard next to or near Chocoinia
4 years ago
Grayve is incorrect, you don't need to complete any quests beforehand, you only need to obtain the Hollow Artefact from Hope. Once you have, Brenda is just past Chocolina, near a fork in the road. It shouldn't be too hard to find her.
4 years ago
What Grayve is saying is that you can only have 2 quests active in the same "Time and Area" so make sure you only have one quest active for that area then it will let you talk to the NPC. Also, sometimes the NPC likes to drift away from their area so wonder around the general area a bit.

Privacy Invasion Fears over First Mobile Phone Directory
Byline: Sean Poulter Consumer Affairs Editor
THE upcoming launch of the first mobile phone directory was yesterday attacked as a 'clear invasion of privacy'.
Connectivity, the company behind the service, has bought details of 16million phone numbers - around 40 per cent of those in regular use in the UK.
It says it will not give out mobile numbers, but instead act as an intermediary to put users in touch with whoever they are searching for.
But Nigel Evans MP, the Conservative chairman of the All Party Group on ID Fraud, described the emergence of the new service as 'shocking' and 'depressing'.
He said: 'People feel that their mobile phone number is very private to them and should not be traded for profit.
'People will be infuriated if they find they are bombarded with calls from people they don't want or expect to hear from. It is a clear invasion of privacy.'
Connectivity has bought its list of mobile numbers from brokers - who themselves have purchased personal details from market research firms and online stores.
Individuals will also be able to volunteer to place their numbers with the mobile directory inquiry service, which launches on June 16.
Connectivity insists it is 'privacy friendly' because it does not hand over mobile phone numbers to users of the service.
Instead, operators will find and dial the target's number and ask whether they are prepared to receive the call. However, Simon Davies of Privacy International - who left the project after working on it as a paid consultant during its early phase - is worried about how the numbers have been collected.
'There are fundamental privacy issues,' he said. 'The company needs to be far more specific about where it acquired the numbers on its directory.'
Connectivity claims it has been given approval for its service by the Office of the Information Commission. …

Oscar Winner Beauty Tricks That Really Work
Longing to get that Hollywood glow, those pouty lips, or smoky eyes? Four top celebrity makeup artists reveal their secrets.
By Colette Bouchez
Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
So you're not in Hollywood, prancing down Oscar's red carpet and clutching at a golden statue. That doesn't mean you can't look the part. As gilded and glamorous as these cinema lilies are, beauty experts say getting that red carpet glow is not all that difficult -- if you know the right products to try.
"It's all about the products -- it's knowing what to use and how to use it -- that's what makes Hollywood glamour," says legendary celebrity makeup artist Adrien Arpel, who now conducts the "world's largest beauty classroom" seen regularly on the Home Shopping Network and HSN.com.
The latest buzz on the lips of Hollywood's most famous glamour dolls says Arpel is primers -- as in skin primers. Mostly silicone-based, she says these "under-makeup makeups" can turn skin that's been up all night into a face that radiates like the morning sun.
"It's like spackle for the face. These products cover everything by putting a thin layer of nontoxic silicone between your skin and the makeup. It creates the look of a totally flawless complexion," says Arpel who was so impressed by the technology she expanded her own Signature Club A makeup line to include nontoxic silicone foundation and blush.
Another bonus: Experts say that with silicone primers you can wave "ba bye" to enlarged pores, acne scars, and even fine lines and wrinkles -- if only for the moment! Primer use is reportedly so popular on Oscar night, one makeup artist (who dolls up such famous faces we can't even mention her name!) whispers that most of the gorgeous gals you'll see waltzing down the red carpet this year would look "just dreadful" without at least one coat of primer under it all.

This seems inconsistent, but probably is due to the fact that I'm new to javascript's prototype inheritance feature.
Basically, I have two base class properties, "list" and "name". I instantiate two subclasses and give values to the properties. When I instantiate the second subclass, it gets the list values from the first subclass instance, but only for the "list" and not for "name". What's going on?? Of course, I would prefer that any subsequent subclass instances not get values from other instances, but if that's going to happen, it should be consistent!
Here is a code snippet:
function A()
this.list = [];
this.name = "A";
function B()
B.prototype = new A();
var obj1 = new B();
obj1.list.push("From obj1");
obj1.name = "obj1";
var obj2 = new B();
//Obj2 list has 1 items and name is A
//so, the name property of A did not get replicated, but the list did
alert("Obj2 list has " + obj2.list.length + " items and name is "+ obj2.name);

iPod nano and ROKR: The iPod Economy Reacts
As with every major iPod introduction, iLounge has polled leading iPod accessory manufacturers for their opinions on the newly introduced Apple hardware, and this time, Motorola's ROKR E1 iTunes Phone as well.
iPod nano
John Grzeskowiak of RadTech
I really like it, but do miss the inclusion of a clip case.
Ryan Arter of MacResQ.com
It's great, and very cool. The smaller the better! If Apple can just make them waterproof now…
Ron DeCamp, Belkin
We're very excited about the new Apple iPod nano. Building in a color screen and photo capabilities was ingenious and moving to a flash-based architecture not only increases the product's durability but also extends the battery life. It typifies Apple's unique ability to push the limits of innovation.
Laurent Bui, Pacific Rim Technologies
We think this a great new iPod that will become an instant classic. This will indeniably help maintain the iPod economy and indirectly our growth. Still today, for every MP3 player sold there are two CD players sold: time to convert these people!
Bjorn Spilling, ProClip
"Looks much nicer than the iPod Mini."
Michael Lowdermilk, FastMac
Fantastic product. Extremely well designed. It's amazing how Apple engineers can make the impossible possible.
Wells Brimhall, Logitech
The new iPod Nano will certainly be a great addition to the iPod line-up. It combines several new features at an incredibly attractive price. We're excited that all of Logitech's existing iPod and mobile music products work with the iPod Nano.
Rodney Rad, Compact Power Systems
This is a beautifully designed product; Apple has done a great job decreasing the size compared to mini, and yet adding features like the color screen, and full photo support, while not resorting to a "stripped down
