Today, I turned 50 years old. Many people struggle with this milestone. I wasn't sure if I would, and today I know I am not struggling with it; I am celebrating it! Here's what I know NOW that I didn't know THEN:
1. When I was a little kid, I didn't know how incredibly important it is to have a deep and long lasting connection with your family. I know this NOW and cherish the love and support of my amazing family. If you have brothers, sisters, in laws, cousins and others who you call your family by blood or by love, pick up the phone and say I love you to one of them right now. And then make it a point to tell each one of them throughout the year. That should be on your bucket list BEFORE climbing a mountain.
2. When I was in grammar school, I didn't know that almost everything I learned back then I would still be using today.I know this NOW and I am thankful for the teachers who trained and taught me the basics that would carry me through life.
3. When I was in high school, I didn't know I would meet the three women who would still be my best friends today.I know this NOW, and I cannot even tell you how much Kathy, Maria and Eileen and their never-ending support mean to me. When was the last time you called your best friend? Make the time. It is a priority. Make the call.
4. When I was in college, I didn't know I was making memories and friendships that would last a lifetime.I know this NOW and boy did I have fun in my college years. Those memories are still some of the best of my life. Go look through all your old pictures and smile. Enjoy your memories and celebrate the best times of your life. It will give you ideas and the motivation to create even more memories in the days ahead...because the best days of your life happen every day.
5. When I was in my early twenties, I didn't know that I would miss my mother when I was 50 as much as I missed her in my twenties.
I know this NOW and no matter how many years go by, a girl always wants to talk to her mother. If your mom is still alive, call her right now and tell her you love her and that she is special. I am very thankful that after my mother left this earth, I had three women who guided me along the way — my Aunt Isabel (my mother's sister), My Godmother (my mother's lifelong best friend), and my dear friend Maria (who is from the same generation as my mother, and with whom I worked during my college years). Reach out and tell your Mom or the women in your life who have guided you that you love them and say thank you. I don't think Moms hear thank you enough.
6. When I was in my twenties and thirties, I didn't know that Aunt would be the most treasured and important title I would ever have in my life.I know this NOW and there is no greater joy than hearing the voice of my nieces and nephews, watching them play a sport, texting silly messages with them or playing a board game or a virtual game of Words With Friends. I had NO idea that I could possibly love anyone that much but I know that NOW. I know NOW that the title of Aunt is an honor that I cherish. I know NOW that there are nieces and nephews by blood and by love and they all mean the world to me. I know NOW that kissing away every boo-boo, changing every diaper, attending every game, celebrating every success, standing through every graduation, every recital and being part of every important moment in their lives is truly the moments and memories I cherish each and every day. I know NOW that when a child goes to heaven, a piece of you goes with them. I know NOW that every hug is priceless and every "I love you" a song.
7. When I was in my early forties, I never thought I would have a position in a major corporation and that it would define who I was.
What I Know At 50
Looking back on the lessons, loves, and knowledge gained after 50 years of living.
Today, I turned 50 years old. Many people struggle with this milestone. I wasn't sure if I would, and today I know I am not struggling with it; I am celebrating it! Here's what I know NOW that I didn't know THEN:

Guiana Shield Facility (GSF)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Guiana Shield Facility (GSF)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionGuiana Shield Facility (GSF) The Guiana Shield Facility (GSF) is a multi-donor funding facility, which aims to support the conservation and sustainable development of the unique ecosystems of the bio-diverse Guiana Shield eco-region. The operating premise of the GSF is that by providing incentives for the conservation of the unique ecosystems of the Guiana Shield towards ensuring the long-term delivery of its globally important environmental services will contribute to poverty reduction and will help an eco-region beset by threats such as: (il)legal deforestation, (il)legal mining, Water pollution, social and health problems connected to mining, poaching of wildlife, and lack of a coordinated framework for planning, priority setting and management of natural resources. The ecosystems of the Guiana Shield have in recent times been increasingly threatened by many problems that are common to all the countries in the Guiana Shield. To support national level conservation and sustainable, a common front is needed as well as attractive alternatives to natural resources exploitation. The Paramaribo Declaration of 2002 emphasised the uniqueness of the eco-region and its importance with regard to ecosystem services. In addition, it emphasised that ?the burden of conservation must be supported by the international community and should not fall on the countries of the region alone?. This implies that there should be a compensation system for Guiana Shield countries for conservation of their ecosystems, which is a key objective of the GSF. This principle is already recognised by the existing international conventions, in particular the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC states that ?the parties should protect the climate system for the benefit of present and future generations of mankind on the basis of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.? The CBD stresses ?the importance of and the need to promote, international, regional and global cooperation among states and inter-governmental organisation and the non-governmental sector for the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components.? The Convention also stresses that ?the extent to which developing country Parties will effectively implement their commitments under this Convention will depend on the effective implementation by developed country parties of their commitments under this Convention related to financial resources and transfer of technology.? The innovative idea of the Guiana Shield Initiative (GSI) ? precursor to the GSF - was to link these transfers to the efforts of those responsible for maintaining the integrity of the ecology of the Guiana Shield as one of the last large (250 million hectares) intact tropical rain forest areas in the world and therefore from a climate, a biodiversity and a freshwater perspective of global significance. This was not a classical form of the rich developed countries giving to the poor developing countries, but a transfer from the world community to those managing a global public good, under existing (and binding) legal arrangements. A substantial benefit of this is not only that it is rooted in international law and thus of a long-term nature, but also that is an arrangement between equal partners. From 2006-2010, through the GSI, the UNDP in partnership with the European Union and IUCN National Committee of the Netherlands (IUCN NL), piloted an incentive scheme for conservation and sustainable development from 2006-2010. The incentive scheme included ecosystem services contracts, innovative remote sensing technology coupled with ground monitoring and which was based on the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and the DPSIR framework, and culturally appropriate benefit sharing. The thrust of the contractual agreements was that the contract holder (ecosystem manager) and the associated local communities, which depend on the natural resources / ecosystem services provided by the ecosystem, were compensated or rewarded for maintaining and managing those resources or services. The GSI applied the basic level approach to the incentive scheme, which included the costs for monitoring of ecosystem services as well as benefit sharing with the stakeholder local communities. Three services: climate regulation (carbon sequestration), biodiversity and freshwater were studied. Monitoring of these services was carried out on the basis of selected indicators at the eco-regional level and at the level of pilot sites using radar remote sensing tools and ground truthing. At the eco-region scale, the monitoring objective was to provide up-to-date information on land cover and vegetation (changes), with a particular focus on forest cover. At the pilot site scale, monitoring was focused on status and trends of the three ecosystem services. Where equipment and materials for monitoring were lacking at the pilot sites, they were provided by the GSI. In the basic level approach to PES, allocation of resources for benefit sharing tied to independently verified and reported delivery of ecosystem services is very important for empowerment, participation and building social capital of local communities. In 2010, the GSI evolved into the GSF, which will over the next four years, seek to build national ownership and partnership with donors and other key partners, and strengthen the GSF as an eco-regional framework for the conservation and sustainable development of the Guiana Shield eco-region. The global significance of the Guiana Shield eco-region and its ecosystem services was, is, and will be the rationale for transfers between the international community and those responsible for maintaining the ecological and cultural integrity of the Guiana Shield. So far, the ecological significance has been best documented by the Priority Setting Workshop (PSW) held during the first GSI Phase in April 2002 in Paramaribo, Suriname. During that workshop, biodiversity, geology, watersheds, protected areas, forestry, mining, infrastructure, non-timber forest products, socio-economic pressures, etc., were described and mapped by 200 regional and international scientific and policy experts. The 2002 PSW exercise also served as the scientific basis of the Paramaribo Declaration signed and adopted on 9 April 2002, to guide the further development of the GSI. On the 27-28 October 2011, a high level team of State and non-State actors met in Paramaribo and reviewed the 2002 PSW to learn what has changed in terms of implementation of the agreed actions as well as new pressures and threats. The 2011 Workshop was unanimous in its expression of support for the PSW process and recognition of the GSF as the delivery mechanism of financial support to efforts to conserve and sustainably development the Guiana Shield eco-region at all scales. It is highly anticipated that the GSF will form part of the deliberations at Rio+20. The Guiana Shield Facility: A UNDP-EU led multi-donor partnership for conservation and sustainable development The EU has allocated over EUR 3 million in AIDCO grant funds through the UNDP for the conservation and sustainable development of the Guiana Shield eco-region. The Guiana Shield is an eco-region of regional and global significance. It has an area of 2.5 million km (250 million hectares), which accounts for about one- quarter of the world?s remaining tropical rain forests, of which 80-90% is still in pristine condition. All or parts of six countries (in alphabetical order: Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela) share the geographic area of the Guiana Shield. According to the Paramaribo Declaration, it ranks as one of the world?s last wild places. In ecological terms, the Guiana Shield eco-region is of global importance. It is made up of several unique ecosystems that: - Store approximately 10-15% of global freshwater supply - Store about 50 billion tonnes of carbon - Support an estimated 20,000 vascular plant species, of which about 35% is endemic - Provide habitat for rich biodiversity, including 975 species of avifauna, 282 mammalian species, 280 reptilian species, 272 amphibian species and 2,200 fish species. Despite their wealth of natural resources, the countries of the region have high levels of poverty, external debt and weak institutional capacity, all of which often cause governments and local populations to choose economic activities which are short-term income generators, but which may not be sustainable (e.g. exploitation of oil, gold, diamond, and tropical hardwoods, and undertaking of big infrastructure projects). Through the GSF, a comprehensive regional planning process for the conservation of the Guiana Shield is being assembled to complement individual country efforts to manage common problems and pursue region-wide human development. The Guiana Shield Initiative (GSI) has pursued since 1993, the goal of promoting the sustainable development of the Guiana Shield eco-region by means of an integrated eco-regional management framework so as to enable the countries and their local communities to finance, develop, manage and benefit from the natural resources by maintaining climate regulatory integrity, conserving biodiversity and protecting watersheds. The operating premise is that preserving ecosystem functions will benefit stakeholders at the local, national and global levels and indeed help fulfil national obligations under the multilateral environmental agreements and the relevant regional arrangements. In the long run, by preserving nature and therefore natural livelihood resources, a significant contribution will be made towards poverty alleviation and resource management by the local/indigenous inhabitants. Regulatory ecosystem services are public goods, and are the responsibility of, foremost national governments and inter- and supra-national structures such as the UN and EU. The global climate is a clear example.

You make half a bed? The ****?
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.
The bed is made during the week, but not on weekends, unless company is coming. And, the wife expects me to help make the bed. If I don't help, there are consequences.
I don't have any more man cards to surrender...
Also, when we change the bedding, hospital corners are required for the top sheet...

Ours is always made, but only because of the dog. He lays on it during the day, and so we have a dog hair blanket that goes over everything.
Nope. Waste of time.
how the hell do you make half a bed?
"Unless company is coming"..
Do you all (especially you married folks) really go around showing company your bedrooms? I mean unless your company is significantly more fun than the company im thinking. I know i dont exactly go wandering into people's bedrooms when i visit their home
And no, the only time i make my bed is after washing everything or if the sheets ended up completely off the bed somehow.
Are you supposed to?
My wife makes it every day.
Yes we clean all room because most people have never been to our house so naturally everyone wants a tour to size you up. Also that's where the guests coats go during winter.

Man hospitalized after trying to break up fight between two females
A man was taken to a hospital after he was blindsided while trying to break up a fight between two females April 19 in Greenfield.
According to the Greenfield police report:
The man was trying to break up a fight between two females in the 4500 block of West Forest Home Avenue at about 2:25 a.m. April 19 when he was blindsided. Greenfield Fire and Rescue took him to St. Luke's Hospital.
The man named an additional suspect, and police are following up.
The police report did not indicate how the fight started.
West Allis taps into tool to help get foreclosed properties fixed up
West Allis has joined what could be the vanguard of communities that are fighting blight by tapping into a database of bank foreclosures to get names of those responsible for maintaining foreclosed properties.
Banks often allow such properties to get run down and the city has trouble getting the banks to respond to calls on property maintenance issues, according to a news release announcing the new program. It is estimated that the city has about 500 foreclosed properties.
However, the new program will give the city a pipeline to property managers for each foreclosure and their contacts. That is available through a new partnership with Community Champions, a Florida-based company.
The program called proCHAMPS gathers registration information from banking institutions on foreclosures. That registration data contains contact information for property managers. The partnership will cost the city nothing.
West Allis Mayor Dan Devine launched the program that is the first in Wisconsin of its kind, the release said. West Allis joins more than 100 other communities around the country in tapping into the foreclosure database.» Read Full Article
West Allis hears 72nd Street residents who don't want bumpouts
There will be no bumpouts for 72nd Street, the West Allis Common Council decided after 70 residents of 72nd Street signed a petition protesting the bumpouts that cities use to help slow traffic.
Bumpouts are at intersections and they extend sidewalks into the street. Although they usually just close off parking lanes, they make the street seem narrower to drivers who then slow down. The bumpouts were planned as part of the city's resurfacing project from Cleveland Avenue to Kinnickinnic Parkway.
But the residents protested that speeding traffic is not a problem and they don't want the bumpouts.
"We heard them loud and clear," said committee chairman Alderman Gary Barczak. So, that stretch of 72nd Street will be resurfaced as a normal road, he said.
Also, no speed bumps will be contemplated, he said. West Allis doesn't install speed bumps because they are noisy, they can damage cars and they pose a problem for snow plows, he said.
West Allis helping fledgling craft brewery get started
The West Allis Common Council has approved a $35,000 loan to help a craft brewery get on its feet.
The Westallion Brewing Company would be the only one in the city.
Erik Dorfner plans to open the brewery Nov. 10 at about 72nd and Burnham streets. The loan using federal Community Development Block Grant money will be used to buy equipment and have working capital for the first months of operation. Dorfner has additional startup funding.
Alderman Kevin Haass, chairman of the Administration and Finance Committee that recommended the project, said a craft brewery is an amenity that helps set a city apart.
"We're trying to make the community attractive to young folks who like amenities like that," he said.

Man, 21, charged in fatal accident on 76th Street in Greenfield
A 21-year-old Greenfield man who was driving with a suspended license, according to Greenfield police, has been charged with homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle after a fatal crash in the 4900 block of 76th Street in Greenfield.
The accident happened shortly before 6:30 p.m. April 17. Charged on June 17 was Shawn Graika who faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine, if convicted.
He is alleged to have been driving 73 mph two seconds before the crash, according to the criminal complaint. That information was downloaded from Graika's SUV sensing diagnostic module data recovery system.
Graika was southbound on 76th Street. He said the driver of the other car, Oscar Balli, pulled out from a parking lot and Graika hit the Balli car broadside. Balli was pronounced dead after being taken to Froedtert Hospital.
Graika is scheduled to make an initial court appearance July 12.
Greenfield couple calls police on their attacking cat
Police responded to a residence in the 3600 block of South 53rd Street after a woman called 911 to report she and her husband were being attacked and held hostage by their cat at about 9:20 p.m. June 17. The cat was eventually caught and turned over to the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission.
Video: Greenfield going full speed to become its own internet provider
Greenfield and the two school districts within its borders are well on their way to cutting the chord to their various internet providers.
They are building their own fiber optics network, starting at Alverno College and extending to municipal buildings and schools in the Greenfield and Whitnall school districts. The network will provide better service at a fraction of the current cost, city and school officials said.
Construction started about three weeks ago and the city is about a third of the way finished, said Greenfield Mayor Michael Neitzke. Under a cost-sharing agreement, the city is constructing the spine of the network.
Greenfield took out a state trust fund loan for its $700,000 share. However, officials expect system to pay for itself in 10 years from annual savings, Neitzke said. And service will be much better, he said.
"We'll have way better service and way better productivity and flexibility," Neitzke said.» Read Full Article
Greenfield man charged in fatal crash
A Greenfield man has been charged with homicide by negligent use of a vehicle for a crash that killed another man in April, according to a criminal complaint.
Shawn Robert Graika, 21, is accused of driving 73 mph in a 35 mph zone when he struck a car driven by Oscar R. Balli, 64, of Milwaukee April 17 in the 4900 block of S. 76th St., according to the complaint.
Graika was driving an SUV southbound on S. 76th St. and had been swerving in and out of traffic before striking Balli's car when he pulled out of the parking lot of Barnes & Noble Booksellers, according to the complaint and Milwaukee police.
If convicted Graika could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison, according to the complaint.
The complaint and a summons ordering Graika to appear before a court commissioner July 12 was filed Friday, according to state court records.

After facelift, Greenfield Park Golf Course re-opens to rave reviews
West Allis — Last week, the Greenfield Park Golf Course held a grand reopening after its $3.1 million upgrade and grand it was, according to some golfers who played the course the next day.
"The fairways for those able to hit them are really nice," joked Marty Raasch of Milwaukee. "The ball sits up so you can see it. The grass is cut well."
And he has already sampled the redone sand traps.
"They're in excellent condition," Raasch said. Before, the sand was so compacted the club bounced up when it hit the sand, he said.
"Now it's nice, you slide the club under the sand and the ball pops out of the sand trap," Raasch said.» Read Full Article
A new Layton Avenue Baptist Church is rising in Greenfield through skill and faith
Greenfield — Everybody's heard of the barn raisings of pioneer days, but a church raising? And a church-raising in the 21st century?
A throwback to those pioneer days is just what's happening on Layton Avenue in Greenfield at 96th Street where volunteers from throughout the country are spending a week building a new house of worship for the Layton Avenue Baptist Church congregation. The worshipers are moving because their building was in the way of a $115 million shopping, restaurant and office development.
A total of 1,100 volunteers will come to Greenfield during 14 weeks this summer through Builders for Christ. And some are skilled enough to build the wooden skeleton of the 27,000-square-foot church in 10 days. Less-skilled volunteers learn from the experts.
But can a bunch of volunteers, really build a huge, quality building?
Can they do it?» Read Full Article
Charcoal grill tips over, causes fire at Greenfield home
Greenfield Fire Department officials said that a grill containing hot coals was the cause of a house fire in the 3600 block of South 33rd Street early Sunday morning.
Emergency personnel responded to the home after receiving a report that flames were seen coming out of the roof of the home at about 4 a.m. The residents were able to escape the fire when an alert neighbor repeatedly rang the doorbell, causing the resident's dog to bark and wake them up.
Fire officials believe the fire started when the grill was knocked over by a gust of wind and started the deck on fire. The fire then spread up the exterior wall of the home and into the roof.
Although the fire was contained to the deck, an exterior wall and a portion of the roof, the home sustained heavy water damage, officials said.
The Greenfield Fire Department is warning people to keep grills away from homes, garages, overhangs, and off combustible surfaces such as decks. Coals and ashes from a barbeque, fire pits and fireplaces can smolder for up to seven days, so do not assume they are out, officials said.
West Allis foundry faces possible fines of $62,370
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued 10 serious and three nonserious safety violations to the Motor Castings Company, 1323 S 65th St, West Allis, a metal parts manufacturer.
The inspection followed a 51-year-old worker suffering broken bones and cuts to both hands.
Investigators determined he and other employees were attempting to realign and adjust the drag mold of a closing machine at the foundry when the cope, an operating machine part, fell unexpectedly and crushed both of the employee's hands.
The proposed penalties for all the violations total $62,370.
Vape shop caught up in CBD legality debate
Janet Fazen and her family run a vape shop in West Allis, but a recent visit by police has left them feeling like dope dealers.
Officers seized their entire inventory of CBD liquid, which is said to come from industrial hemp plants. "The original vape additive. Add to your favorite liquid or vape alone," the package says.
Customers who buy it have told Fazen that it gives some relief from pain, fibromyalgia, anxiety and other maladies. There is a trace of THC, the ingredient that gives weed its buzz, but not enough to make anyone high, she said. Minors are not allowed in the store without a parent.
"They (police) should return the product. And I should be able to freely sell," she said. "It kind of puts me on edge. I'm trying to have a little business here. They took mine, but it's all over the nation."
West Allis police say the CBD, or cannabidiol, is contraband and they're not giving it back. Deputy Chief Bob Fletcher said two officers went to the store, VaporLicious, 8822 W. Lincoln Ave., on May 20 and purchased one bottle of CBD Drip. When they tested it, they found evidence of THC, though Fletcher admits the screening does not indicate what level.» Read Full Article

Overall Experience
Great stay at the Staybridge Suites
15 April 2016
We recently stayed at suites at the weekend while visiting friends in Newcastle. The suites felt like a home from home and offered the freedom a hotel sometimes does not. No maid service at the weekend unless you require was great. Nothing worse than feeling you have to make yourself scarce so they can make your bed!
Location great for Quayside and town, 24 hour tea/coffee and water downstairs, breakfast was great and parking on site as well. A little steep I though at £8 per day though considering we stayed. Overall a great stay and we will be back.
Clean and spacious
07 April 2016

05 April 2016
The initial greeting and the manner in which it was delivered made me feel comfortable, welcome and valued as a customer. The hotel had a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Staff members were genuinely friendly and helpful which added to my experience. When I needed help the staff members were very approachable - greeting me warmly, putting my needs ahead of any routine tasks and listening. The whole experience of the service made we want to come back since it was enjoyable and positively memorable.

The Help is a moving story about women's friendships in the South, and its author, Kathryn Stockett, says the pivotal character of Minny—the straight-talking maid whose revenge mud pie is a dish best not eaten at all—was based on actress Octavia Spencer, who wound up creating the film role.
"Octavia doesn't understand what a huge part she's played in my life," says Stockett, 42, whose friends call her Kitty. "Her very being—her mannerisms, the ways she handles things—all went into creating Minny. What an incredible gift to bring to a writer."
The two met in 2003 in L.A. through a mutual friend who at the time was Spencer's roommate: writer-director Tate Taylor, who grew up with Stockett in Jackson, Mississippi, the setting for The Help. "At Tate's parties, you feel like family. Before you know it, you have 10 new best friends," recalls Stockett.
The two women got along instantly. "She's compassionate, strong willed. I think of her as a Steel Magnolia," says Spencer, 39, who grew up in Montgomery, Alabama. "She can weather a storm, and she has a wicked sense of humor."
Stockett gave birth to her daughter, Lila (who has a cameo in the film as young Skeeter), just as she was finishing the book. Before it was even published, Stockett promised film rights to Taylor. Her only request was that it be shot in Mississippi—and that the relatively unknown Spencer should play Minny.
To make that casting happen once Disney's DreamWorks signed on, Taylor proceeded strategically. He first set out to snare rising star Emma Stone as well as such well-regarded actresses as Viola Davis, Cicely Tyson and Sissy Spacek. By the time he brought Spencer forward, the studio was happy to say yes. "I was a nervous wreck for a while," admits Stockett. "I don't know how this business works, but Tate does."
When The Help was first published, Stockett invited Spencer to accompany her on a series of readings at bookstores. "Octavia took three weeks out of her life to come with me and read the parts of the African-American maids," she recalls. "We traveled in coach, at best, and by rental car. We drove all night from Jackson to Memphis. We laughed across America."
At one reading, Stockett was criticized for writing in the dialect and voices of Southern black women. "Octavia stood up for me, in front of her own people, and defended it," she says. "That's the core of our friendship. We're watching each other's back."
For now, Spencer is considering new film offers, and Stockett, newly divorced from her husband, is writing her next book.
When asked to define friendship, Spencer says, "People you let in stay in. People on the periphery will stay there. A good friend is someone who will love you unconditionally. That doesn't happen overnight. You have to experience pain and happiness with someone."

ZF-3435: Zend_Validate_Ip does not work as expected/documented
phpdoc of Zend_Validate_Ip::isValid() says "Returns true if and only if $value is a valid IP address". But in ZF Versions 1.5.2 and before strings like "192.168.10" or "192.168.10.10 asdf" are successfully validated, too. What in my opinion should not happen, especially the second case.
Seeing as how this bug could have serious security issues for those who rely on the validator, and the relative ease it can be fixed with, I would like to attract a bit of attention to it.
Added unittest for this case with r12342. Issue already fixed.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

Obviously the set of naturals is denoted $\mathbb{N}$, but is there a symbol for the set of odd naturals? Would $2\mathbb{N}+1$ (or $2\mathbb{N}-1$) be a standard notation?

I don't recall seeing too many places that gave a specific notation to the set of even or odd numbers. Your notation of $2\mathbb N+1$ seems quite reasonable.
As with all notational problems, my usual tip is to find something that seems reasonable and simply declare it in the first few lines (or when you need to use it):
How about $\mathbb{N}\setminus2\mathbb{N}$ ?
Why not $\{2n-1,\;n\in\mathbb{N}\}?$ Or are you looking for an actual symbol? I recall seeing $\mathbb{E}$ and $\mathbb{O}$ somewhere - (of course, specify what you mean if you use the $\mathbb{E}$'s $\mathbb{O}$'s $\mathbb{P}$'s etc. in a paper).

There are several reading and listening resources related to Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew, not to mention the works dedicated to New Orleans music or the birth of rock and roll. Below you will find recommended reading and brief reviews of each book.
Blue Monday: Fats Domino and the Lost Dawn of Rock 'n' Roll (Rick Coleman, Da Capo Press, 2006)
In this critically acclaimed biography - the first ever of Fats Domino - music critic and historian Rick Coleman draws on exclusive access to the man himself and on a multitude of new interviews with other music legends. He presents the definitive portrait of not just an extraordinary man and musician, but also of a unique time and place: New Orleans at the birth of rock and roll. This tremendous resource is a "rich, full portrait of the least chronicled of rock's early giants" (New Orleans Times-Picayune).
Up from the Cradle of Jazz: New Orleans Music Since World War II (Jason Berry, Jonathan Foose, and Tad Jones, University of Georgia Press, Athens, 2009)
From Publishers Weekly: New Orleans has always been a city of music and divergent cultures, where aristocratic French and Spanish colonists, working-class Irish and the African slave culture combined to produce a charismatic musical tradition. The authors begin their survey after World War II and trace the impact of the musicians of New Orleans on rhythm and blues, jazz, soul and the other popular musical styles of the day. The book looks closely, too, at the tradition of musical families as exemplified by clans like the Bechets and Bigards of the early 1900s and continues with the talented Marsalis family of today. They discuss well-known artists such as Professor Longhair and Fats Domino and scores of lesser known but talented locals.
Rhythm & Blues in New Orleans (John Broven, Pelican Publishing, Gretna, Louisiana, 1974)
In his landmark book, Walking to New Orleans, Broven compiled biographies of dozens of musicians marginalized from popular music history and brought them together in the first comprehensive history of New Orleans rhythm and blues. It changed the face of music in the city. Local fans began looking into the forgotten tradition of rhythm & blues and they started looking for the forgotten musicians who had created it.
The Soul of New Orleans: A Legacy of Rhythm and Blues (Jeff Hannusch, Swallow, 2001)
A comprehensive document of the rise and fall of New Orleans rhythm and blues, this volume presents scores of colorful and important profiles as it explores the activities of the city's clubs, musicians, record companies, recording studios, and much more. It includes over 100 photographs and illustrations and a full appendix including a selected discography. A must for fans of New Orleans rhythm and blues.
I Hear You Knockin' (Jeff Hannusch, Swallow, 1985)
I Hear You Knockin' is the story of New Orleans rhythm and blues by Jeff Hannusch, aka "Almost Slim." This well written and lavishly illustrated volume presents colorful and informative portraits of more than two dozen important New Orleans Rhythm and Blues figures. In most cases the subjects tell their own stories, sharing their successes and joys, as well as their failures and sorrows. Included are singers, producers, instrumentalists, DJs and record Label entrepreneurs. Some have scaled to the top of their profession and earned international reputations. Others have tasted success on a smaller scale and just play for fun and a little extra money on the weekends. Together they tell the fascinating story of the rise of New Orleans Rhythm and Blues. A must for fans of rhythm and blues and New Orleans music! Hannusch received an American Book Award in 1986 for this book, which is now in its fourth printing.--Flattownmusic.com

Over the Rainbow... (17 photos)

Over the Rainbow Photo Shoot with the fabulous Laz from Studio One Six Photography. This was such a fun and simple easy to do set up. The main focus was to be the gorgeous sparkly chocolate gems which I made using my latest new "toy", a chocolate gem candy mold from Sweet Life Cake and Candy Supply. I absolutely love when I come across unique "treat" items and enjoy experimenting at home in the kitchen with my sweet assistant, Sabrina. The chocolate gem mold was actually a buy for her recent 5th birthday party (more on that later). However, with the upcoming St Patricks Day Holiday I knew that they were a perfect fit to celebrate with.
I designed a sweet little set up using a gorgeous rainbow that Lilly from I heart Sugar Sugar created. I embelished the Rainbow with shimmer and some crepe paper and knew that it would be darling as a little backdrop for this shoot. The gems were really inexpensive and easy to prepare and I am working on a tutorial to share with you all soon. The collection I designed was a Lucky in Love collection which I think turned out darling. Not only are we celebrating St Patricks Day but Spring is right around the corner and we can't forget that we are in the heart of wedding season. Champagne, "green" tea and sparkly delicious chocolate gold gems, just the perfect sweet set up to celebrate a bridal shower, sip and sea or simply St Patricks Day. You can add to this with small bites and maybe some more desserts but really it's a dainty little reason to gather with family and friends.
I hope you all enjoy this set up and pictures.
Thank You to Laz from Studio One Six for the pictures, the team over at Sweet Life Cake & candy Supply for the material to prepare the chocolate gold gems and of course to Lilly from I heart Sugar Sugar for the beautiful Rainbow. =)

Stepping Out
The Party
A massive runway split The St. Regis Atlanta's ballroom into two sides so that Ralph Lauren's spring collection, presented by Saks Fifth Avenue, could stream down the runway. A stylish mix of philanthropists, fashion lovers and the like sat around stunning tables designed by A Legendary Event, and craned their necks to see the latest looks. The annual benefit for the Forward Arts Foundation helps support visual arts in Atlanta.
The Players
Aimee Chubb, Stan Dixon, Pamela Isdell, Sarah Kennedy, Anne and Robert Powers, Rebecca Smith, Susan Tucker
The Highlights
Guests looked up from their white wine and plates of spinach, feta and artichoke-stuffed chicken to cheer when real estate maven and crowd favorite Glennis Beacham won a bicycle from the event's raffle drawing. After perusing bright and bold looks from Ralph Lauren and devouring the valrhona gianduja and almond mille-feuille dessert, attendees were asked to take away a floral favor before leaving. The centerpieces on each table were constructed breakaway-style by Tony Conway's team, so that each guest could carry a small vase out to the valet. –Photos by Kim Link

County projects vie for ranking and funding
Published: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 1:58 p.m.
Maybe Davidson County commissioners should consider playing the lottery and hope to strike it rich to fund the various capital projects that need funding. The commissioners recently discussed prioritizing the 24 projects on the county's Capital Improvement Plan. The projects are scheduled to be completed by the middle of 2018 — a little more than five years from now. The price tag is projected at $101.5 million.
Many of the projects are familiar: a new sheriff's office on U.S. Highway 64 East, on which grading work has started and ranks as the top priority; moving the clerk of court's office into the former Windstream building on North State Street which the county purchased; building a new high school to accompany Oak Grove Middle School in northern Davidson County; and contributing money for an industrial park. The proponents for the various projects can all make compelling cases for why they should rank high. The primary challenge for commissioners will be ranking the project and determining how to fund them. A last resort for the conservative board would be to raise taxes, but if commissioners believe the projects have merit, then all funding options need to be considered, including bond referendums and small property or sales tax hikes.
Privacy advocates may have raised their eyebrows when commissioners OK'd an aerial survey of the county for the Geographic Information System. But the reason for the survey is a legitimate one: It will enable 911 telecommunicators to share potentially life-saving information with emergency responders. Google Earth and other programs already offer satellite images of properties, and while a low-flying plane might offer closer views, it still won't be able to show someone inside a residence. Two county departments cooperated to pay for the project in a nice bit of cooperation that often occurs thanks to performance-based budgeting.
The Lexington Tourism Authority approved two expenditures during its annual retreat Thursday that could pay benefits down the road. The first was an outlay of $2,800 for an LED projector for the Edward C. Smith Civic Center, which will allow the facility to increase its offerings. The second was $5,000 to fund a study of the Barbecue Festival, which will provide some solid data about the city's largest attraction and could help make the event even better. Tourism continues to play an important role in the county, and any additional attractions or understanding of existing events will enhance that.
The positive response to a job fair for veterans Thursday at American Legion Post 8 shows the need for such endeavors. About 50 veterans attended the "Hiring Our Heroes" event. More and more companies are looking for qualified veterans to hire, and such events allow employers and job-seekers to connect. The job fair gave Post 8 an opportunity to once again show the important role it plays in advocating for veterans locally.

Say What?
By Rebecca Teti
Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
How do you defend the Church from fallen family members who are angry and defensive regarding their choice to leave the faith?
We just had a priest speak at our parish who touched on this problem. Here's his advice (as I remember it): First, determine if the person wants to talk about the faith or if he/she just wants to be angry and defensive. If rational discussion is off the table, then just pray for him/her, but don't engage in the defensiveness. You could even say, "If you want to talk about this, I'd love to do that, but otherwise, please know that my faith is important to me, and I don't want to hear negative comments without having the chance for an open and calm discussion." If you think the person really wants to talk about it, then ask questions about what he/she thinks the Church teaches. Ask why he/she left the Church. What are the reasons? Then, without getting defensive, try to answer the questions and clear up misconceptions. If there's something you don't know, be honest about that, but try to find the answer and follow up with the person. The point is that the best strategy isn't to try to convince the person that he/she's wrong, but rather to explain the truth of the Church calmly and truthfully and let things go from there. Hope this helps!
Can someone help me with something dumb? I need to know how to freeze chocolate chip cookies successfully. I am quite paranoid they will not taste the same as when made fresh. I have First Holy Communion party this weekend and want to eliminate the small stuff on this special day. I really don't want my communicant to see me stressed or being short with her or her siblings on this special day. I also don't want to short change my guests with yucky cookies. I know this is low on the scale of important issues but right now it's up there on my list. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
unknown, if they're just ranting (or making snarky comments) with no intent to have a real conversation about the faith, I'd stick with a calm "I'm sorry you feel that way" (which is a handy phrase for all sorts of ongoing issues with chronically angry/irrational people) and not engage further. If it's a one-on-one conversation, then I think MR's suggestions are really good. But in a group, or with someone you know is just picking a fight, then "I'm sorry you feel that way" (repeat as necessary) is a handy way to show disagreement, but not engage in the looked-for battle.
Hi unknown (the first one) I agree with Anna, and that is a very handy phrase. Sometimes, if I want to know more, or they seem to want to share more, I may ask, "How did this start?" or "Is there anything I can do to help you in this transition?" because sometimes this opens up the lines of communication...good luck! Hi KMB, I think chocolate chip cookies are VERY important! {Grin} From my own limited experience, it's tough to make frozen cookies taste fresh out of the freezer. So, my idea is this: unless your oven will be busy all day, make the triple batch of dough ahead of time--even today, and then freeze the dough by wrapping it and putting foil over the top very tightly to avoid freezer-burn taste. Taking the dough out and tucking it in the fridge a day or two ahead {I just cook them frozen--flatten the dough a bit so it cooks evenly} , And on the day pick someone {not you, as you have other things to do} to be in charge of putting fresh cookies out. This will be the best of both worlds...the dough and messy ingredients will be cleaned off, the house will smell amazing and if someone *needs* something to do while the other guests arrive, you can hand them an apron, and the hot mitts and ask them to "keep the cookies coming". Hope it is a blessed event!
To the second unknown: My mom makes chocolate chip cookies and freezes them on a regular basis. She makes a double-batch and then sticks half in a ziplock freezer bag or a tupperware container to put in the freezer, and they stay fresh for months! Just allow them to cool completely before you put them away. Easy peasy!
I freeze coolies all the time. Make sure they are completely cool, layer with parchment or wax paper in between and stack them all up in a freezer bag (not a storage bag) laying flat, get out as much air as possible. Take them out the day before to defrost. Congratulations and enjoy the special day with your family!
Thanks for the helpful hints, everyone. I am so grateful to have one less thing to worry about. I'm such a cleaning maniac right now. Why is it the more you clean the more and more dirt you find? What a domino effect around here. Ugh!! Thank you!!
Have any of you read a book about Pope Francis? If so, what book do you recommend to a busy mom who needs one that is very easy to read. Thank you! Unknown, I will pray for your family members. I will pray that you're given wisdom and fortitude and that they receive grace. Be as loving as possible when speaking of the church. Ask them many questions about their feelings and thoughtfully listen to their answers. Never argue. God bless you.

Time runs out for Thomasville
Published: Thursday, July 25, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 4:22 p.m.
Editor: This is in response to your recent editorial concerning the "odd" timing of actions against the city of Thomasville for chronic failure to comply with the law in handling their water issues. I've spent several years involved with water quality issues as a leader of a nonprofit organization, and in that role, have dealt with government entities several times. I am familiar with the issue and the parties involved. A common element to these cases is the complaint that "we are trying — we just don't have the money in the budget." The current action being taken by the SELC was not done hastily, only after meetings with the Riverkeeper and their own research would they step in and threaten legal action, and unless there is a strong pattern of continued abuse and lip service would they act. The last similar action I was involved in took several years of negotiation, broken promises and stalling before we had to file suit against the federal government to finally stop the pollution. And in the meantime, the pollution continued. The city of Thomasville has been "trying" to resolve their chronic issues for many years — but trying does not keep millions of gallons of raw sewage out of the waterways downstream of Thomasville. There are a lot of crude things to say hear about what exactly their efforts have amounted to, which I will not state here, but their "trying" is trying the patience of those people impacted by their failure. It is time for them to do whatever is necessary to actually succeed or face the prospect of a protracted and expensive legal battle over the consequences of their failures, and to be held accountable under law. Nobody has the right to pollute public waterways and the time has run out on patchwork and promises.

Learn answers to frequently asked questions about anesthesia.
One Size Does Not Fit All: Before surgery, each child gets to choose a scent for the anesthesia mask—specially sized to fit every child.
Bubble gum, cookie dough, cotton candy, grape, orange and strawberry are some favorites.
At Children's, a pediatric-trained team of board-certified anesthesiologists and staff are involved in every stage of your child's care.

I attended a packed performance of Broadway Across America's touring production of the Lion King at the Capitol Theater last night. Our A&E writer Lara Rosenbaum already reviewed the production so I won't bother here. It's the Lion King. Who doesn't love the Lion King?
Well, I didn't but I'm a grouch. I mean the puppets were way cool but this is a children's play, for, you know children. Basically I'm saying the Lion King no Hamlet, although the plot does bear a striking resemblance to Hamlet (only without the oedipal undercurrent and, um, all the death at the end). But still, the puppets and stage design are way, way cool.
But like all Utahns who grew up watching ward house road shows and corny touring productions of Oklahoma, Bye Bye Birdie and Forever Plaid, trot through our playhouses that I felt a certain sense of local pride to see a full-on Broadway production light up the Capitol Theater.
Did I mention the puppets?
So if you want to see the magic you've got until this Saturday, Sept. 26.
And if the Lion King isn't your thing, up next is the Color Purple staring Oprah Winfry. Kidding. It runs Nov. 11-16. Click here for tickets.

There's a big fall trend that's all over the store racks, and we need to discuss. I'm speaking of polka dots, naturally, a motif that'll be on everything from dresses to pants to coats.
My advice? Skip it. I love patterns as much as the next person, but at a certain age (say, over 35) splattering a bunch of symmetrical dots across your body will do you no favors. Feel you MUST indulge? Try it on a scarf, a shoe, a clutch. You'll thank me later.
Instead, go for another fall trend: plaid. I've seen it everywhere, in every color imaginable, and designers have done their best to take the lumber jack-ness out of it. Plaid is bold, crisp and grown up, traditional but not stuffy.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

Funny. Yesterday we found ourselves having the same conversation that seems to be happening over at Potholes In My Blog. Hip-hop instrumentals are truly something special, especially today where you couldn't find a greater variety in moods and sounds – it's exciting.
Our compadres over at Potholes put together a great instrumental compilation called Potholes Presents: Midnight Snacks. The project showcases a variety of producers with the common thread of a zoned out nighttime vibe. We're digging it. Some of our favorite tracks are below! Make sure to grab the free download, too.
D.L.O. The Iceman – "Nice Vibe"
J57 – "Broken Batteries"
Tensei – "Origami"
Trebles and Blues – "The Eastern Wind"
