This is from an article in yesterday's Kingston Whig Standard about a local man who was found to have been issuing workplace safety training certificates without providing the training and without having the accreditation he professed. He was fined $610 and placed on probation for two years. To read more on the article, click here: www.thewhig.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3478697
This Blog is in 2 parts:
Part 1 – Credibility of the Training Certificate
Part 2 – The Real Problem: Credibility of the Training Provider
PART 1 - Credibility of the Training Certificate
OK so he did wrong and has been punished, but the real question is, what about the employers and the employees he cheated?
There are hundreds of individuals and small businesses offering safety training services in just about every town and city in Ontario. Some, if not most are safety professionals and do provide the training required. But is that enough? If the Ministry of Labour (MOL) calls, the employer had better be able to substantiate that they have diligently provided whatever training is required and can prove it.
When the MOL decides to inspect a business either as a result of an accident or from a random visit they will certainly ask to see the training records. They will often then check your records against those of the company that provided the training. Do not expect them to take your word for it!
Let me give you an example:
At OSG we pride ourselves with our recordkeeping. When you attend an OSG class you are required to sign in, or in multiple day courses, like the Joint Health and Safety Committee Certification you will sign in each day. That sheet containing all the attendees signatures is then sent back to OSG and your name, date and course details are entered into our database. This allows us to track every attendee for all the classes we hold, wherever and whenever we hold it. The class sign in sheets are then filed and retained for the 151,000 course trainees we have trained since 1997– we say we keep them for 7 years but in reality we have never thrown any away.
Employers should make sure that they deal only with reputable suppliers such as OSG, who have both the respect of the MOL and have the capability to prove who, when and what we trained. Most business 'trained' by the man in the article, and all the others like him, will likely have to do it all over again.
PART 2 - The Real Problem: Credibility of the Training PROVIDER
Submitted by Mark
Only a few health and safety courses that training providers conduct in Ontario are required to be approved by a regulatory body in Ontario. These are Joint Health and Safety Committee Certification (JHSC) – Part 1 and First Aid Training (both by the WSIB).
OSG has encouraged the requirement for approval of training programs for many years, via discussion with the WSIB, the MOL and the province of Ontario. Although many of our instructors and indeed those of other training companies in Canada have the Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP), Certified Health and Safety Consultant (CHSC), or other H&S diploma, degree or certificate, there is really no approval process for the training company itself or the actual content that is used to train your employees.
Creating a safety training course
Let's take the example of our course, the Safe Operation of a Lift Truck. In the absence of an approved course structure for a course, we use our Subject Matter Experts to build our course content around the structure of the CSA Standard (B335-04 (R2011) for Lift Trucks and incorporate the Ministry of Labour's Guideline for the Safe Operation and Maintenance of Powered Lift Trucks along with any other standards and/or guidelines and regulations that our research reveals including a look at OSHA in the US. We then subject the course to extensive peer reviews and practice it before expert audiences to make sure it flows well and is complete and accurate.
At the end of this expensive and time-consuming process we feel we have created the best course available on the market. But who is to say? Then we compete on price in the market with others who have not done such due diligence, or incurred such costs in their course creation.
What is Effective Training?
Effective training is not about having the instructor talking about their amazing life experiences and relaying some information about how to drive a lift truckIt is not about making participants memorize all the different ways that the law says that you have to be certified to drive a lift truck. Driving a forklift safely is fundamentally the same in a warehouse in Ontario as it is in a warehouse in Alberta; it is just that the words they use to say that you have to be trained are written slightly differently in each province's health and safety Act.
Effective training is about understanding your audience and relating accurate and complete information in the course in an engaging and interactive way so that the information sticks.
Employers and their employees attending safety training have made a considerable commitment in time, money and effort and need to go back to work empowered with the knowledge and ability to drive that lift truck safely tomorrow. They need to learn through practical examples about the hazards that they will face in their particular workplace and learn the skills so that they can operate a lift truck productively without being a liability to their colleagues, themselves, their company's product or facilities.
This should be the case for all health and safety courses on the market.
A new regulatory body governing Training Providers
This is under discussion in Ontario. We feel that having a regulatory body, likely under the new Chief Prevention Officer – George Gritziotis' control, that governs who is allowed to train your employees is a positive concept for the safety of all workers and employers in Ontario and could be a template that can be used across Canada.
The practical implication of governing all the content from all of the different safety training courses is a large one; however with a system in place (like what the WSIB has in place for JHSC Part 1 providers) provides credibility, consistency and ensures situations like the "False Certificates" being issued is mitigated.
In my opinion, the cost for this approval process should be entirely absorbed by the training provider, not by the employer or employee or taxpayer and we are happy to pay that cost. We are happy to be involved in assisting that regulatory body to make Ontario a safer place for everyone to work.

Question from SMASHKING84
How do i put image on an sd card on 3ds?
I cant cant figure out where to put these images i saved on my sd card to get them to work on 3ds.
5 years ago
I had them as jpgs but like i said im not sure i put the photos in the right place i tried putting them in a folder next to my music folder and it said there were no photos.
5 years ago
@Mario788 I did exactly what you said and it still doesnt work
5 years ago
Are you sure the size is 640x480? because i had my pictures at 400x450(or around there but not any higher) and it still doesnt work...
5 years ago
Accepted Answer
1. Make sure it is in .JPG or .MPO format.(don't just rename it; That won't be good enough)
2. Copy it to one of the folders in the DCIM folder(which is on the root of the SD card).
3. Rename it to "HNI_XXX". Replace XXX with next number. For example, if you see "HNI_059.JPG" as the biggest number in the selected folder, rename the selected picture to "HNI_0060.JPG".
5 years ago
My best answer for you my friend is to Google it.
5 years ago
I'm pretty sure you have to put them in a .JPG or .JPEG format, since the 3DS can only save and read those.
5 years ago
If I remember right, the correct folder should be in the " DCIM" folder, and then put it in any 100NIN?? folder. If it can't read it still, try resizing the pictures to 640x480.

Deliberations resume in loud music killing trial
Published: Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 9:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 9:14 a.m.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jurors deliberating whether a Florida man committed murder when he fatally shot a teen after an argument over loud music will watch a security-camera video that captured sounds of the gunshots.
The 12 jurors will watch the video from a Jacksonville convenience store security camera on Thursday when they return deliberating at 47-year-old Michael Dunn's trial.
They deliberated for three hours Wednesday before recessing for the night.
Dunn is charged with first-degree murder, though jurors could also consider second-degree murder and manslaughter as options.
Dunn claims he shot 17-year-old Jordan Davis, of Marietta, Ga., in self-defense outside the Jacksonville convenience store in 2012.
But prosecutors told jurors Dunn shot the teen because he felt disrespected by Davis.

Battling Terminal Cancer, Robin Rogers Gives Thanks
Hear Songs From 'Back In The Fire'
Robin Rogers is a blues singer in Charlotte, N.C. Her new album, Back in the Fire, is a hit, making its debut high on Billboard's blues chart. But music hasn't been her primary focus in recent months. Rogers has a cancerous tumor in her liver, and doctors have told her she has a year to live.
"Every day is different," she tells NPR's Scott Simon. "If anyone's been on chemotherapy, they know how dreadful it is."
This fall, some friends and musicians threw a benefit concert for her. Like a lot of musicians, she has no health insurance to cover her care in a hospice. The concert was a huge outpouring of love and support.
Rogers' background could have come from a blues song. She was a teenage runaway who slept in abandoned cars and abused alcohol and drugs. She says she's been sober for 20 years, and that the 12-step program that helped her as an alcoholic is helping her with her new struggle.
"I'm trying to come at it from all angles: spiritual and physical and mental," Rogers says. "It's a lot for a person to be told they have a year to live. I catch myself thinking about the past and looking to the future."
Her husband, Tony Rogers, has been caring for her. She says he's become unemployed as a result, but that his presence has been a tremendous help.
"I would want no one else there," she says. "He's my everything."
She wrote the album before her diagnosis, and several of its songs have taken on different meanings for her since, including "The Plan" and its pointed refrain, "Everything is going as planned."
"It's pretty much true," Rogers says of the song. "I bought a house here in the Charlotte area 20 years ago, I got a lot of friends and I'm very blessed."
The singer-songwriter has experienced a surreal mix of highs and lows within the past year, but she says she's moving on to the next one stronger and wiser.
"I've learned that time is fleeting," she says. "You need to do everything you can do while you have a chance."

Two Arrested in iPad Security Breach
Two computer hackers have been arrested for allegedly using a security breach of AT&T Inc. T 0.21 % 's servers to gather email addresses and other personal information of about 120,000 users of Apple Inc.'s iPad, including corporate chiefs, U.S. government officials and Hollywood moguls.
Andrew Auernheimer, 26, and Daniel Spitler, 25, were taken into custody on Tuesday, according to federal prosecutors. They have each been charged with conspiracy to access a computer without authorization and fraud in connection with personal information.
AT&T acknowledged in June that a flaw in its website made it possible for iPad users' email addresses to be revealed and said it had fixed the problem. Mr. Auernheimer, part of a hacker group calling itself "Goatse Security," claimed at the time it had discovered the flaw.
According to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday, Messrs. Auernheimer and Spitler allegedly breached the security of AT&T's servers in order to do damage to the telecommunications company, while simultaneously promoting themselves and Goatse Security.
U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said there was no evidence the two men used the information they acquired for criminal purposes.
Mr. Auernheimer was expected to appear in federal court in Fayetteville, Ark., Tuesday, while Mr. Spitler was expected to appear in federal court in Newark.
A phone call to the contact number for Goatse Security wasn't immediately returned Tuesday. An AT&T spokesman declined comment.
Mr. Auernheimer, who identified himself as Escher Auernheimer in media interviews, told The Wall Street Journal at the time that AT&T had a "egregious lack of thought" at the time by not requiring a password to access Web pages with email addresses.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation launched an investigation after the flaw in AT&T's website was revealed last year.
According to the criminal complaint, the hackers created a computer script known as the "iPad 3G Account Slurper," which attacked AT&T's servers over several days in June 2010.
The computer program was designed to mimic the behavior of an iPad 3G, so that AT&T's servers were fooled into believing they were communicating with an actual iPad, prosecutors said in the complaint. Once deployed, the program would randomly guess the unique identifier for each iPad. Each correct guess would result in the iPad's email address being displayed on AT&T's website, prosecutors said.
Based on Internet chat logs, the FBI determined that Mr. Auernheimer and Mr. Spitler, who went by the name "JacksonBrown" were responsible for the data breach, according to the criminal complaint.
In one chat on June 5, Mr. Auernheimer allegedly said, "this could be like, a future massive phishing operation" after the security flaw was discovered and said it was "valuable data."
The next day, Mr. Spitler asked that Mr. Auernheimer protect his identity after Mr. Auernheimer suggested they reveal the security flaw to the press, prosecutors said in the complaint.
"Dunno how legal this is or if they could sue for damages," Mr. Spitler allegedly said.
Mr. Spitler proceeded to write the computer script to harvest the email addresses, prosecutors said in the complaint.
Later on June 6, 2010, Mr. Auernheimer allegedly wrote to Mr. Spitler: "if we get 1 reporters address with this somehow we instantly have a story," prosecutors said in the complaint. Mr. Spitler then allegedly provided Mr. Auernheimer with the email address for a member of the board of directors of News Corp., which owns The Wall Street Journal, prosecutors said.
On June 10, Mr. Auernheimer and Mr. Spitler allegedly discussed destroying evidence because they were fearful of the criminal repercussions of their actions, prosecutors said in the complaint.
"I would like get rid of your (expletive) like are we gonna do anything else with this data?," Mr. Auernheimer allegedly said.
"No should I toss it?," Mr. Spitler allegedly responded.
"I dont think so either might be best to toss," Mr. Auernheimer allegedly said.

I'm looking for a level 15 Chansey obtain in Red, Blue, or Yellow without the use of cheat codes. I want her for my Pika Cup team in Stadium.
A reliable Pokemon website reports that a level 15 Chansey can be found in the Yellow Safari Zone (on its Pika Cup information page). However, the same website says on its Kanto Safari Zone page that the lowest that can be caught in Yellow is 21, which is too high for the Pika Cup. The N64 Pokemon Stadium allows for the rental of a level 15 Chansey.
So, does anyone know if a level 15 Chansey can be caught in RBY. If so, how? Thank you!

Holster, Buck Rogers, XZ-35 Wilma Deering Rocket Pistol
This leather holster was an accessory for a Buck Rogers rocket pistol made by the Daisy Manufacturing Company of Plymouth, Michigan in 1935. It is sized to fit the XZ-35 Rocket Pistol, a smaller version of the original XZ-31 Buck Rogers Rocket Pistol produced in 1934. The XZ-35 was known as the Wilma Deering pistol after the heroine of the Buck Rogers series. The holster originally would have had a loop at the top, which would attach the holster to a leather belt. The holsters were also sold in sets, known as "combat sets," that included the toy gun and a leather belt.
The space hero character "Buck Rogers" first appeared as a comic strip in 1929 and generated a large number of toys, including the example shown here.
Michael O'Harro gave this toy gun to the Museum in 1997 as a part of a large collection of Buck Rogers memorabilia and other space science fiction memorabilia.

Unfortunately I was unable to use the facilities at Thai Spa due to the absolutely appalling customer service I received from them.
I rang them on the 8th Jan to make an appointment for February.
I asked for the 16th as it was the only weekend I had free from the time I called & I wanted it to be after my January pay day.
The lady I spoke to didn't have very good English & I had to repeat myself a few times. But I gave the voucher code, which my fiancé had given me as a birthday present & confirmed for the 3rd time Saturday 16th Feb at 5 PM & left my mobile number so they could contact me.
I didn't hear from them again. Which is unusual because when I used the Sanctuary they helpfully confirmed my appointment.
So on the 13th of Feb a few days before my agreed appointment date I called to re-confirm & again spoke to someone with great difficulty who said I needed my voucher code. So I followed up with an email and received an unconscionably rude & unprofessional response.
They said I had booked it for the 12th January, which I didn't as I already had a prio engagement and that there was no record of my follow up call. Which is a complete lie as I have a record of it on my mobile.
The way this matter was dealt with was wholly unacceptable - it was left to me to follow up, with no attention given by the spa to confirm appointments.
This is not a way to treat paying customers & they have taken advantage of the fact that the cost of the treatment had been paid in advance.
So they have taken our money and offered nothing in return apart from the worst customer service I have received in quite a while.

Re: Need helpful tips for party photography
Well, it's kind of hard to determine what would be best for you without knowing what the "party" situation is. Is it at night? How is the lighting? What kind of space are you working with? I would prep yourself for the worst case scenario of tight spaces and terrible lighting. SO, a decent external flash with some sort of diffuser would be very helpful and of course a fast lens. But, fast lenses are pretty pricey. I would at least get a fast prime lens, maybe a 50mm 1.8 or 24mm 2.8 ect. and work the room. If that isn't possible, put yourself into a similar situation at home or with friends before you go to the job and do test shooting to find what works the best for you. I hope this helps, hopefully someone else chimes in on this lol

Paying for your own wedding?
Let me just start with a little background: I'm 28. My boyfriend is 34. We'd like to get married sometime in the next two years or so. We've been together for 6.5-ish years now. My question is, and my boyfriend thought I should pose it here on sugar, when are you too old to ask the father of the bride (my dad) to pay or help pay for the wedding? I know it's seen as traditional, but I feel like I'm kind of old at this point to ask for help. We probably wouldn't get engaged for another year or so since we'd have to save up for a ring, and although the wedding that I want is pretty small I kind of feel 30-ish is old enough to pay for my own wedding, even if that means delaying it for another couple of years or so (recession = having trouble finding a job). Anyways, any thoughts are appreciated.

Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters: The Era of Vampire (2003) Movie Review
Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters: The Era of Vampire (2003) is a funny movie that is so cheesy that you have to like it at least a little. There is a great deal of wire Kung Fu and very little depth to the characters or plot. Still I saw the movie and thought it was watchable and good as a late night horror movie.
Four warriors in training are led by their master and they search the countryside for zombies. The dead build up so much negative energy that they return from the dead as zombies and when they have fed on enough human flesh, they eventually become vampires. The vampires jump around like jumping potato sacks and for me, that is hilarious reminding me of my very first Asian vampire movies from my youth at the local video rental stores.
Did I enjoy the movie, yes I did. Would I watch it again? Not anytime soon but maybe after a few years just to reminisce once again. Director Wellson Chin really dropped the ball on this movie though which could have been a real gem.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—A majority of residential security dealers thinks adding home automation services to their traditional offerings is cost prohibitive. That's a big misperception, according to Greg Roberts, VP of marketing for Icontrol, and one that could put providers at a significant disadvantage in today's marketplace.
YARMOUTH, Maine—Home automation gadgets coming out of the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show are interesting, but discretion might be needed before some go too far, according to Security Systems News readers responding to our latest NewsPoll.
DALLAS—The North American home automation market will grow from $2.21 billion in 2013 to $4.29 billion in 2020, a CAGR of 9.17 percent, according to Marketsandmarkets research analyst Sarmistha Biswas.
CHICAGO—U.S. Cellular, the newest telecom player to enter the security space, has launched OnLook Digital System, a self-installed security and home automation system.
ELMONT, N.Y.—Total Security Integrated Systems, a security company based here that specializes in residential video security, is making a marketing move into Suffolk County, N.Y., and plans a bigger focus on home automation in 2015, according to owner and CEO Matt DiMicco.
PROVO, Utah—Joe Albaugh, who today joined Vivint in the newly created position of chief security officer, brings significant cyber expertise, having previously served as chief information security officer at the U.S. Department of Transportation and also at the Federal Aviation Administration.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Honeywell just introduced a new solution enabling dealers to offer affordable home automation upgrades to more than 10 million customers—and a company executive says the release of Honeywell's VISTA Automation Module or "VAM" couldn't have come at a better moment.
LONDON—The security industry is just one business sector expected to play a role in the rapid expansion of the global market for cloud-based home management systems, whose installed base is poised to skyrocket over the next five years, rising from 5.6 million at the end of 2013 to 44.6 million by 2018, according to a new report from IHS Research, a market research firm whose U.K. headquarters is based here.
WELLINGBOROUGH, England—The global home automation market is trending toward significant growth in the coming years, with the $9 billion market projected to reach $14 billion by 2018, according to a report from ABI Research, a technology market intelligence firm with locations around the world.
NEW YORK—Monitored security companies will stay at the top of the U.S. managed smart home market for the next five years, but their market share will drop more than 50 percent by 2019 as competitors such as telecoms and cablecos leverage their own strengths in the space, predicts a new report from ABI Research.

text: Do all stories have a moral, even if it's a subtle one? I once was taught that all stories need a theme and that a theme was: The proper way to live right, as expressed by the characters. Of course, each character may be a good example (how to live properly) or a bad one (what to avoid). But that sounds like a moral to me. So, is the theme separate from the moral or is the theme just a subtle moral?

Pastors book leads readers back to God
| 4/4/2013, 5:30 a.m.
Roysters "Says Who"? targets misled believers
Eve, Sampson, Esau and Jacob all had life-altering experiences because they were deceived. And the overflowing list of others who were misled goes on and on. In many biblical verses, believers are cautioned to be aware of deception. 1 John 4: 1 tells believers to not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is one of the many messages of Says Who?: God Still Speaks But Who Is Speaking to You, a book that was released by Pastor Marc E. Royster, Sr., senior pastor of Harvest for Christ Church. I tell people dont get caught up in the charisma, the fine words and the attractiveness of the person, he said. Dont get caught up in that because it can be very deceptive. Royster said he was inspired to write the book after visiting several churches and witnessing gimmicks, theatrics and a lot of activities that are done as just a money grab. In response to those experiences, Royster said the book was written to those who once had a beautiful relationship with God, but somehow lost their way because of being misled or confused. The goal of the book is to inspire those readers to come back to God so that He can fulfill His purpose in them. In the book, Royster tells readers to really listen to what the person is saying and not get caught up in what they see. Words are powerful, he said. Death and life lies in the power of the tongue. Pastoring around the globe Royster has pastored for about eight years in all. He retired as a chief warrant officer of the U.S. Army. Serving in the military has allowed him to develop ministries domestically and abroad, in places, such as: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, North Carolina, Georgia and others. He said the churchs mission is to preach the Gospel message. Presently, his church, which he has pastored for about four years, is focusing on being on one accord by training and developing church members before he does a serious launch into the community. Royster said he wants them to be prepared to serve others. As a pastor, he focuses on teaching what the scriptures mean. He does a deep study and has a professorial approach, in which he goes back to the Greek and the Hebrew texts and presents the word in practical applications. A church should be a teaching church, Royster said. Its not just about hollering and screaming in a persons ear: clap your hands, touch your neighbor, stomp your feet, turn around and run around the church two times.

Most Americans don't expect to retire at 65.
67 is the new 65, according to Gallup's Annual Economy and Personal Finance survey. 39 percent of American workers expect to retire after age 65.
People closer to retirement, age 40 and older, see 68 as their retirement party number.
The survey also finds an increasing number of workers say they won't have enough money to live "comfortably" in retirement.
Gallup randomly surveyed more than a thousand adults through telephone interviews earlier this month.

There's information in there on how the team at Turbine brought some of the locations in the book to life, and how deep down, poor Boromir was still a good guy – he was just lusting after the One Ring like everyone else. Poor Boromir. Riders of Rohan will launch on October 15.

Many people are looking to shed some pounds for the summer. One way to do that is a military-style boot camp complete with diet suggestions offered at one Annapolis gym.
Within 14 days, trainer Nathalie King at Evolutions Body Clinic in Annapolis gets clients to jog, press and squat their way into better shape.
Cheri Phipps is wrapping up her second round of the so-called bikini body boot camp. "I feel stronger than ever, I just feel really good about myself," said Phipps.
During the bootcamp, clients work out 45 minutes to an hour every day for two weeks clients, plus another 45 minutes of cardio on their own.
The recommended diet is based on lean protein, vegetables and protein shakes. Trainer King says she's noticed an increase in the boot camp's popularity in recent years.
"That's really the trend right now in fitness, you look at these (workout videos) P90X and Insanity," she said. But she adds it's not a quick fix, instead meant to "jumpstart" people's fitness plans.
King says in exceptional cases clients have lost five percent body fat, but the typical loss is about two to three percent body fat, and between two and ten pounds.

I just got a "don't be so hard on yourself" comment on Facebook —
It was in response to the Duck Girl post. Which is supposed to be funny and IS tagged #humor btw. Jeez.
It's a weird and totally aberrant response to a humorous post about a photo.
It's been my job to objectively evaluate images of myself since I was a model in my teens. That hasn't changed during acting, writing, or being in some odd way minimally a public figure.
[Yes that image above is me in my teens doing the modeling thing. Check out the goth hair. Yay!]
I don't remember a photographer or agent ever, when we were evaluating shots and I said, "The lighting is amazing," or, "It's a terrible angle," saying, "Don't be so hard on yourself."
Who would say that, evaluating a photo? We weren't talking about me. We were talking about photos.
Two kinds of people say "Don't be so hard on yourself" when you're talking about a photo.
Female "friends" who for some reason feel compelled to take horrible ugly photos of you and post them online. And if you object, say, "Oh don't be so hard on yourself."
[I wasn't being on hard on myself, I was telling you that photo sucks don't put it online.]
And men who think you could be an easy female mark and a little reverse bolstering might get them in.
[You're not in, you're weird and predatory and transparent and scary go away.]
Being hard on myself is me saying to myself, "Look at those marbled thighs for the love of Christ, Go to yoga!"
Saying, "The lighting and angles in that photo suck"?
That has nothing to do with me. That's about a photo.
PS: I can kick bullshit "something is wrong with you" reverse psychology sash to the curb. I know I am beautiful on film — there's a portfolio in a closet to prove it. I worry about the girls that don't have that portfolio in the closet though. So know this:
Photographs are the way someone wants or chooses to see you. Not you. And —
Don't spend time with people who take ugly photos of you and post them online and when you object? Say, "Don't be so hard on yourself."
photo tests & duck girl
January 10, 2016
*On the up side, though Duck Girl Max looks like she's ready for a session with the What Not to Wear folks, she looks smarter than better lighting slightly fuzzy iPhone Max. So maybe it works out.
*Okay, it is not entirely the computer camera's fault. I take the iPhone test photos before the first computer take. Ten takes later, I have stepped outside into Texas weather at least ten times for smokes, been distracted by stray dishes, decided one eyebrow is off, taken vitamins I forgot to take this morning, realized I forgot to pick up mail today, taken out the trash, decided I have to change shirts the collar is so wrong, erm, five or more times — there are reasons by the tenth take hair and lipstick are a little frazzled. But still!

my poor neglected forum
January 6, 2016
The forum is not, technically, all that neglected. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes in private workshop and classroom forums. But the public forum is terribly neglected.
I blame this on the great forum explosion of 2010. There was so much mad scrambling to do damage control and retrieval for the workshop and classes during that melt down, the public forum just got completely left in the scrambled tatters and never picked up again.
But there is a public forum.
It is a bit tragic is is so under utilized.
It exists pretty much entirely in one forum:

I cannot believe I could not find this Person of Interest clip on Youtube without foreign subtitles. What is wrong with Americans? This is the BEST DOG SCENE EVER!
new classes are like screenplays
January 4, 2016
Every time I create a new class and have blocked it all out, I think I'm incredibly smart planning it out and writing and titling lectures and thinking up assignments and putting together study material and clips. By the time I have the class and lectures and materials outlined and put together I think I'm the cat's meow, all that figured out and done and done!
But that never works. Not right up front.
It's just like a script.
I figure it out. I lay it out. I plot it out. I think, THIS TIME, it's all figured out, THERE WILL BE NO REWRITES!
And then.
After it's all put together the way I thought it would work, I see ways to make it better. And start tearing things out and switching things out and rewriting and reorganizing…
All of which means I just spent the entire weekend rearranging, rewriting, and reorganizing the new January class The First 30 Pages.
What the Hell, Max?
What's really annoying is it is better.
Dammit! That is not incentive to not do this again!
I wonder if this happens to architects.
It's easy — okay it is a royal pain but still easier — for me to rip about changing the order of information and words than it is for someone who has just had a cement mixer pour a foundation.
It's got to be trickier when someone has poured concrete.
Dear God:
Thank you for making me a writer and not an architect.
Those jackhammers and chisels would be the end of me.
Love and Kisses,
Your Favorite No Concrete Adams Girl

I have been doing IQ posts a long time and people even really close friends [who you would think would have been there from the beginning but no, thank you demon from hell Facebook algorithms] keep asking me what "IQ!" by cute animal photos means so, for everyone who missed it, the "IQ!" story:
Studies [scientific studies including big research by the Japanese and the Japanese do not dick around with productivity studies] indicate looking at cute cat and dog and animal photos increases work productivity and attention spans AND IQ. So —
You have total IQ every time you visit or view or like a cute animal photo. You get more productive and smarter. Yay! Also possibly more Japanese but the Japanese have better hair and fashion across the board than anyone in the US anyway so that is not a con.
Expect more cute animal photos soon.
That is my contribution to society and science dammit!

Free pit bull spay/neuter available for Rancho Cordova residents | News
RANCHO CORDOVA, CA - A pet food and supply chain is funding the spay/neuter of pit bulls and pit bull mixes for residents of Rancho Cordova.
The Sacramento SPCA and the city of Rancho Cordova announced PetSmart Charities has made a two-year grant which will allow 600 pit bulls and pit bull mixes to undergo the spay/neuter surgeries. The dog owners must live in Rancho Cordova zip codes 95670 or 95827.
Nearly a quarter of the dogs the Sacramento SPCA takes in as strays or surrenders are either pit bulls or pit bull mixes, many of them from those neighborhoods in Rancho Cordova. The goal of the new program is to control the population growth in a humane way.
"You see a lot of stray dogs, a lot of homeless people who have dogs, and eventually they can't take care of them, so they end up just running around," said Veronica Harris, who lives in one of the two areas.
"You don't want a bunch of unwanted animals running around. People get pets, and they don't take care of them," added Matthew Sutton, who also lives in the area.
"Our goal as an animal shelter is to prevent getting so many pit bulls and other dogs into our shelter that we can't adopt out because of behavior issues," Sacramento SPCA Chief of Shelter Medicine Dr. Laurie Siperstein-Cook said.
According to Siperstein-Cook, one of the challenges to controlling the pit bull population is clearing up a misconception that spaying and neutering will affect the dog's ability to be a guard dog.
"The guarding behavior, of their home, has to do with their bond to the home and the family. They're still going to guard just as much," Siperstein-Cook said.
"They're awesome dogs, but it's how you train them, it's how you take care of them. You just don't tie them up in the back and throw them a bone every now and then and show them off when people come by. It's a lot more to it than that," Harris said.
Lesley Kirrene, spokeswoman for the Sacramento SPCA, says the surgeries will be performed by appointment only at the SPCA's spay/neuter clinic at 3839 Bradshaw Road. The number to call is (916) 504-2825.
Dog owners must show proof of residency in one of two Rancho Cordova zip codes.
Additionally, Kirrene says if pit bull owners license their altered dog, they can save more than $100 in annual licensing fees.
More information is available at the Sacramento SPCA website.

Many refugees too scared to return home try to make a living inside camps.
By Bong Sarmiento in Pikit, North Cotabato (PHR No. 5, 8-Sep-08)
As the fear of further conflict hangs over the southern Philippines, some displaced civilians are trying to carry on as normal, despite being stuck in crowded evacuation centres.
Intensifying clashes between Muslim separatist rebels the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, MILF, and government troops earlier this month caused hundreds of thousands of people to become displaced in the south of the country.
Yet many refugees living in centres in Pikit municipality in North Cotabato Province, Mindanao, are putting their skills to good use and filling in the long empty days by working as they wait for the security situation to improve.
At the Pikit Parish Gym Evacuation Centre, 42 year-old Dulce Santander sells charcoal-grilled bananas. She says this keeps her occupied and earns her some much needed funds, while offering something different to people in the camp currently living on a basic and unvaried diet of rations.
"It's difficult to just eat the same things day after day," she said, pointing to the tinned sardines and noodles that have been the staple diet of the thousands of people who fled here recently after MILF forces overran their villages, and proceeded to engage in fierce fighting with the Philippine army.
"By selling barbequed bananas, at least I can buy fresh fish for my family," she added, noting that she makes about 500 Philippines pesos, PhP, (11 US dollars) a day.
She offers her customers and fellow refugees a choice of banana that is simply grilled or coated in margarine and sugar.
Government sources say the largest displacement of civilians took place in North Cotabato, where more than 130,000 people fled their homes a few days after the long-running conflict erupted again.
MILF forces launched attacks on villages in the area following a decision by the Supreme Court on August 4 to suspend a draft peace agreement that was intended to bring an end to the militia's 40-year battle for a separate Islamic state on the southern island of Mindanao.
According to the ICRC's head of delegation in Manila, Felipe Donoso, while many in the province have now returned to their villages, some 50,000 remain in evacuation centres fearful of renewed violence.
Here in the Pikit parish gym, hundreds of families have sought refuge from the villages of Kolambog, Silik and New Valencia in Pikit, as well as from neighbouring Tapodoc in Aleosan municipality, also in North Cotabato.
In the camp, another refugee was similarly trying to make the best of the difficult situation by offering her services as a beautician.
Mila Grace Nabos, 33, from Barangay Tapodoc, continues to practice her day job, despite being surrounded by people young and old who are left with little to do except doze on cardboard boxes amid the flies and the heat.
"Nail service is only PhP 30 (70 cents)," Nabos sang out to one potential customer while tending to the cuticles of another.
Nabos explained how she would be earning more had she not been displaced and had her livelihood disrupted.
ICRC representative Juan Fuertes said that one of the humanitarian group's initiatives, alongside providing emergency assistance to evacuees, is supporting livelihood projects in conflict-affected areas on the island.
"We started [the project] a year ago in some areas in eastern and central Mindanao. We provided beneficiaries with carabaos (cattle), horses, goats and rice, corn and vegetable seeds," said Fuertes.
ICRC hopes to sustain the initiative, pursued with the help of the local government, as well as veterinary and agricultural workers.
"We extend this kind of assistance to those populations that are regularly displaced," he explained.
"The idea is for the evacuees to still have access to food and farming when they return home."
Meanwhile, as they wait for the security situation to improve, evacuees make a living and wile away the hours as best they can.
Inside another camp in a warehouse to which displaced Muslim villagers fled, a woman was selling basic supplies.
Outside, in a makeshift tent, a man was cooking tinagtag, a Muslim delicacy made from finely ground rice and sugar.
He was seemingly unperturbed by the dump trucks and bulldozers whirling and grinding up dust nearby.
"Come and get it," he cried. "Five pesos (11 cents) only."

On Sunday afternoon, the C-17 from McChord Air Force Base outside Tacoma was packed with more than 180 men, women and children, many with bittersweet stories that mixed celebration of their departure with sorrow over those left behind.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Rita Tainia Leger sobbed as she wheeled her wounded father onto the deck of the Air Force C-17 cargo aircraft that would take her and her father, rescued after two days in earthquake rubble, to America.
These were not tears of joy, but rather of anguish. In the final minutes of her departure from Haiti, she became separated in an airport line from Sahrie, her 1-year-old daughter, who had to stay behind with Leger's sister.
"They said that she couldn't go with me, that she was too far behind," cried Leger, who lives in Haiti but has American residency. "Please, can someone help me?"
On Sunday afternoon, the C-17 from McChord Air Force Base outside Tacoma was packed with more than 180 men, women and children, many with bittersweet stories that mixed celebration of their departure with sorrow over those left behind.

All of the passengers had ties to America, either through citizenship or residency, allowing them to gain a coveted place on the aircraft leaving this wrecked city for Orlando, Fla.
The elderly and the injured gained seats along the side of the aircraft, while others sat down in rows on the cargo deck, with white safety straps to hold them in place, as the C-17 taxied down the runway and winged north toward Florida.
Though three Air Force security officials — experts in "flight-deck denial" — were on hand, the boarding of the weary earthquake survivors up the rear tail ramp was orderly and peaceful.
Leger's daughter was left behind with her sister, who was farther back in the airport line. Hopefully, they will board a later flight to America.
Others will never see their loved ones again.
Paule Desvarieux, a Haitian American from Miami, flew down to the island in December to visit family for a Christmas vacation that stretched into January. She now grieves the loss of her father, two sisters and friends who died in the earthquake.
Shortly after takeoff, Desvarieux collapsed into sleep.
"I was with them in house when the earthquake hit," Desvarieux said. "I can't talk about it anymore."
Next to Desvarieux sat Yvon Leandre, a 42-year-old Haitian American from Immokalee, Fla., who raced back to Haiti to search for his mother. Flying into Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, he was able to reach his home city of Leogane, some 30 miles south of Port-au-Prince, by Wednesday night.
Leandre said his mother's house was the only surviving structure on the block. He soon learned she had been safely evacuated.
So he turned his efforts Thursday to trying to save a young girl buried under the rubble. Someone said it was too dangerous and the concrete might collapse. But Leandre dug for about five hours and pulled the girl out alive.
Leandre, an auto-parts salesman, worked for several more days trying to dig out other people, but their voices grew fainter and he was not successful. He sustained himself on a stash of crackers and energy bars he had brought with him.
On Sunday, an exhausted Leandre, his hands chafed from digging, decided to return to Florida.
"If I could find a place here to get some rest, I would stay and go back to work," Leader said. "But I can't, so I am going home."
Even for those with ties to America, it is tough finding a flight out of Haiti.
The pace of the air traffic, thanks to coordination efforts by the U.S. military, has increased from 60 flights to about a 100 a day. But thousands of Haitian Americans and others continue to wait for space on a northbound aircraft.
Virginie Matison, a 22-year-old from Palm Beach, Fla., is a diabetic who waited in a long line Sunday morning outside the U.S. Embassy in hopes of gaining a seat home. Her illness got her to the front of the line. On Sunday evening, she was on board the aircraft.
About a quarter of the flights landing at Port-au-Prince are U.S. military aircraft, including the C-17s, according to Capt. Dustin Doyle, a native of Whidbey Island who now serves with the 621st Contingency Response Wing based out of New Jersey.
Two aircraft from McChord's 62nd Airlift Wing began Sunday doing relief flights to Haiti.
The C-17s, in emergency situations, can carry more than 200 people in the cargo bay hold, and a long line of would-be passengers had made it past initial security outside the airport to a second line just off the tarmac.
But many of these passengers do not have a final clearance to go as the C-17s, having disgorged their cargo loads, are readied for a return to the United States.
So some flights have left with less than 100 people on board, according to Doyle.
The McChord C-17, though largely filled, had room for a few more people.
One of the pilots, 1st Lt. Joseph Hurley, had hoped to get Leger's daughter on board but found out that was not possible. As the C-17 lifted off, Leger clutched a backpack emblazoned with her daughter's name, Sahrie, hoping for a reunion in the days ahead.
When the aircraft landed, people clapped politely, and there were a few cheers.
Then, the rear ramp swung down, and the survivors walked off into the Florida night.
