Some comments from Tom Carroll to Jun Po ... on your Integral Institute interview:
Your interview with Jeff was as good a talk as I've heard you give. It took a while for Jeff to find his focus, and he stumbled a bit getting started.
"The closest Zen gets to love is warmth." Interesting remark but not good for the laugh he was looking for....
"Still water runs deep" .... Pretty good recovery from you.
"Your ego thinks your heart can be broken. [But it's] vast beyond comprehension." That's a line I will not soon forget.
"The heart as the focus for practice." This certainly simplifies things... but I guess the woman who called at the end did not see this. "It's so complex," she said. "Why does it need to be so Complex?" Your answer was good - but the answer is also touched by paradox - making insight more illusive.
The only place I heard you get a bit ragged is when Jeff makes laudatory remarks about his childhood training - his appreciation of the sense of being the child of a loving god. You stalled out...let in some dead air - maybe intentionally. What I liked is that you went on to talk about passion - to identify the place and the case for passion! I think you sidestepped Jeff's intended meaning. But the argument for passion was worth it. Maybe at some point you could revisit what what Jeff was really saying - which I'd guess was about how we can relate to archetypes at any stage of development.
I think you are doing a better job of explaining compassion. Added to this, the emphasis on the place and need for passion in practice and the heart as the center of practice - all very helpful for anyone straddling traditions.
I am glad to hear you speak as you did. You may have always thought or seen this. But for myself, a one time church boy, to come toward Buddhism was a very dispiriting experience. I see now, and you apparently agree, that this was not necessary. The rigidity of a tradition, be it Buddhism or Catholicism - both can be stultifying.
Thanks - no comment necessary - just some thoughts.
Best to ya.

An introduction may be in order since I just re-registered after being off the board for several years. Was registered long before the S&S era, but slipped off due to some technical glitch and never signed back up. I've been a steady lurker though, and the members of this board always provide high quality grease for the mental wheels. I live on the North Coast of California and I've been riding and wrenching on flatheads since my brother gave me a basket case 39WLD in 1976. I've had a couple of U series bikes in the past, but I always come back to the 45s.
I currently own and ride a 41WL that is stock and mostly original, and a 68GE that I built two winters back from a lot of different bits and pieces I'd acquired over the years. It looks more like a late 40s-early 50s machine with springer and steel box, but it's got that push-button start. It also has T&O wheels and a Mikuni and various other mods so it has some hope of lugging all that weight to a respectable speed. It's my wife's bike. I built her a solo years ago and she dropped it the first time she threw her leg over it. Won't go near one since then but she does love trikes.
I've been collecting parts and pieces to build a light, lean Brit box solo with a stroker motor just to see if I can make one run with the big boys. So . . . . if you all don't mind I will ask for your seasoned advice when something puzzles me and just generally share the experience. Thanks to Host, Moderators and members for this great forum. Dana.

John from Accent Inns here and guess what. It's that time of year again. Cherry blossoms are in bloom, flowers are coming back to life in local gardens and the smell of fresh cut grass permeates the air (at least in Victoria BC). The coming of spring also means we have the chance to meet 700 of our closest friends. You know, those folks you friended, followed, chatted with, pinned and retweeted all winter. You'll have the chance to meet those nice people at Social Media Camp 2014 in Victoria BC May 1-3. (more…)

Spring Means Social Media Camp in VictoriaTuesday, April 8th, 2014
Social Media Bootcamps 2013Thursday, October 17th, 2013
Do you need a kick in your…..Social Media? If you answered yes then you should attend one of the upcoming Social Media Bootcamps travelling around the province. Victoria BC is very lucky as every May brings not only incredible floral displays but the equally visually stimulating Social Media Camp. This has become the largest social media event in Canada! But wait, there's more…..
The guys behind this great event (Chris & Paul – their country album will be released next summer) have also put together a number of one-day workshops in select cities during the fall.
Anyone and everyone who needs, likes or just has to use Social Media should try to make it to Social Media Camp in May. Of course the organizers realize that there are folks who just can't attend the big conference because they must attend their mother in-laws' birthday (been there). Well for all of you they have taken the show on the road and these one day bootcamps will give you access to some of the great knowledge and training that Social Media Camp offers. (more…)

Gardens Of An Artist
Claude monet was one of the most important painters of the 19th and 20th centuries. An exhibition of his works opened in İstanbul on october 9. 'monet's garden', which runs at Sabanci University's Sakıp Sabancı museum (ssm) through january 6, focuses on works from the last 30 years of the artist's life.
A leading figure in the Impressionist movement, Monet was one of the artist flâneurs described by French writer, poet and critic Charles Baudelaire as painters of modern life. Bringing painting on canvas out of the studio and into society and the life of the city in particular, flâneur painting shaped Impressionism. Idlers who spent their days strolling about, the flâneurs observed their surroundings and then conveyed those observations on canvas. The exhibition at SSM features Monet's garden paintings, which date mainly from the last period of his life.
Claude Monet's friendship with August Renoir, another prominent painter of the period, is well-known. One of Monet's best known works is a portrait of Renoir, and portraits of Monet and his wife Camille signed by Renoir are also part of the exhibition.

Another 160k unloaded by an Aegerion exec today. Why are so many insiders jumping ship?
Maybe they wanted to load up on AMRN.
Lots of insider sales in the last 3-4 months and not a single purchase!! Why do people here think the price is going higher when the insiders are clearing out?
You don't understand anything about business do you?
Nobody is clearing out, they are merely exercising stock options and selling them immediately as part of their total compensation plan.
This guy Mark Sumeray has been selling hundreds of thousands of dollars every month going back to May, and he's not the only one! What gives?
No kidding, it's like every time one of his options matures, he just exercises the option at $13/share and sells it at $93/share as part of his automatic selling program. As you accurately pointed out, it is a monthly event that they do regularly almost as if it was all structured that way.
Oh. It is.
So what bothers you the most? That they are successful while you are not? Or that they are making money on the stock, while creating substantially greater value for shareholders, while you lost your #$%$ on your short position? Come on Arthur/Censored/AdamWang, tell the truth.

Brushing Your Teeth
- Your teeth are meant to last a lifetime! Tooth decay, or cavities, and periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, can be avoided or reduced by the daily removal of plaque.
- Plaque is made up of germs that live on your teeth all the time. It is important to remove this plaque daily to prevent these germs from making acid and other products that can cause cavities and harm your gums and the bone around your teeth.
- If you spend less than three minutes brushing your teeth, all the plaque is probably not being removed. Also, a toothbrush with worn-out bristles cannot clean your teeth properly. Try to replace your toothbrush at least every three to four months.
- A dental home care plan should include —
- daily toothbrushing with a soft toothbrush that is not worn out or frayed
- using dental floss daily to clean areas that are hard for your toothbrush to reach — between your teeth and under the gumline
- using a toothpaste or mouthrinse with fluoride
- eating balanced meals and limiting foods high in sugar
- To brush away the plaque on your teeth, follow these steps:
- Start by brushing the sides of your teeth that touch your cheek. Angle your toothbrush so it is up against your teeth and gums and jiggle the toothbrush back and forth in small strokes. Do only a few teeth at a time, and do it several times in each spot.
- When you have completed the cheek side of your top and bottom teeth, brush the side that faces your tongue on the top and bottom teeth in the same way.
- Brush the flat, chewing surfaces of your top and bottom teeth. These surfaces have many deep grooves where germs can "hide out." Brush your tongue when you finish brushing your teeth to help your mouth feel fresher. To maintain the health of your teeth and gums, clean in between your teeth with dental floss after toothbrushing

Japanese Chicken Meatballs (Tsukune)
Chicken meatballs called tsukune are a Japanese-restaurant favorite—they're essentially a chicken sausage mixture flavored with garlic and ginger. Use flat sword-shaped skewers instead of traditional round bamboo skewers to keep the meatballs from slipping when you try to turn them. Serve with bowls of steamed rice on the side.Yield: 6 servings
Active Time: 90
Total Time: 120
Chicken Meatballs
- 2 medium dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken or 93%-lean ground turkey
- 1/2 cup coarse dry whole-wheat breadcrumbs or Japanese panko breadcrumbs (see Tips)
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion whites
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Sweet Soy Glaze
- 1/4 cup mirin (see Note) or cream sherry
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- 18 scallions, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted (see Tips)
- To prepare meatballs: Place shiitakes in a small bowl; cover with boiling water and let soak for 45 minutes. Drain the mushrooms. Remove and discard the stems; finely chop the caps. Combine the chopped caps, ground chicken (or turkey), breadcrumbs, egg white, scallion whites, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, honey, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix and squeeze until well combined. Use a generous 2 tablespoons each to shape the mixture into 24 meatballs. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
- To prepare glaze: Combine mirin (or sherry), soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar and ginger in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, 2 to 5 minutes.
- To prepare kebabs: Preheat half to two-thirds of a gas grill to medium-high (1 burner if you have a 2-burner grill; 2 burners on a 3-burner grill) or build a medium-high-heat fire on one side of a charcoal grill.
- Thread the meatballs onto flat metal skewers, 4 per skewer. Oil the grill rack (see Tips). Grill the kebabs over direct heat, turning once, until marked, 5 to 6 minutes per side. (If you try to turn the kebabs too early, the meatballs will stick to the grill. Let them cook for a minute or two longer before turning so the meat will release from the grill.) Move the kebabs to the unlit side. Brush the tops with the glaze and grill for 2 minutes. Turn the kebabs over, brush with more glaze and grill for about 2 minutes more. Remove to a clean large serving platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
- Grill scallions over direct heat, lightly brushing them with some of the glaze and turning frequently so the glaze doesn't burn, until tender-crisp and with a few char marks, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer to the platter.
- Drizzle the kebabs with any leftover glaze and sesame oil; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare meatballs and glaze (Steps 1 & 2), cover and refrigerate for up to up to 1 day. | Equipment: 6 (10- to 12-inch) flat skewers
- Note: Mirin is a low-alcohol rice wine essential to Japanese cooking. Look for it in the Asian section of the supermarket or at Asian markets. An equal portion of dry sherry or white wine with a pinch of sugar may be substituted.
- Tips: To make dry breadcrumbs, trim crusts from whole-wheat bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 250°F until dry, about 10 to 15 minutes. (1 slice = about 1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs.) For store-bought coarse dry breadcrumbs we like Ian's brand, labeled "Panko breadcrumbs."
- To toast chopped nuts or seeds, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won't stick. Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to coat the food with cooking spray.

The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operation.
Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel and garbage and refuse disposal.
Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility's inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.
At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn't have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.
All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

I have the same problem my baby almost 3 wks and 3 oz is not enough I have to give him 4 and it will make him happy and sleep longer and not. Fuzzy I just think that we should not worried because it's better for baby to eat and grow then not to eat and every baby different we as mom should guide to out baby needs. ...posted 04/14/2015 by isaura1
My little girl is almost a month old, and she's a big girl, around 11 lbs. She's hungry a lot, and eats about 4 oz every 2-3 hours... I was concerned that it was too much, but then I decided to just let her guide me and to feed her when she's hungry. A couple of times I tried to give her less, but she'd cry or be restless after, so I said, why am I doing this? Babies need to eat to grow, and I have a big hungry girl. 4 oz and she goes to sleep content and can sleep longer, which means she's less fussy, better rested, happier, and so are mama and daddy ;)posted 06/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My 3 week old eats 4oz when she wakes up from a 3hrr nap and then usually she will eat a little over an ounce or less depending on how hungry she is about an hour later. I think this is very normal. your baby will let you know when she is hungry and you should let your baby be your guide on how much and when to feed. Doctors and guides/books are speaking in general for things like this, all babies are different and I would go with your gut feeling and your babys needs.

My son is about 3 1/2 weeks and I had started to worry about the same issue. But I did read that a growth sprout at 3 wks explains the higher demand in milk. He's eating about 3-4 ounces, and if he gets hungry I also make him an extra 1-2 ounces an hour later or so. Funny though if I give him a bottle full of breast milk, it knocks him out fast. He loves it much more than the formula, but he gets it less often.posted 12/26/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
i don't really have an answer but I would say wow, because my 4 weeks old only eats about 2.5 oz every 2 hours and right now she's being really fussy and not eating. I would worry about her not eating more than eating too much(if 4 oz is even too much)posted 10/21/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
i have the same issue with my 3 week oldposted 06/17/2008 by 19 mom2bestaci

PHOTOS! Here are pictures of John Utendahl, Tyra Banks' boyfriend. Are John Utendahl and Tyra Banks engaged? John Utendahl Tyra Banks engagement reports were on LALATE in June 2008.
Now today the same reports are back.
Jon Utendahl Pictures

John Utendahl Photo 2
John Utendahl Photo 3
John Utendahl Photo 4
In June 2008, LALATE reported that John Utendahl (often mispelled as Udentahl) and Tyra Banks are prepping for a wedding. Then the same engagement reports reappeared August 2008. Today the reports are much the same with Tyra spotted wearing a big rock over the weekend.
Last year, LALATE reported to you that "Whispers tonight online are asking whether Jon Udentahl and Tyra Banks will be getting married this August, specifically August 30."
Still no confirmation from Banks or Utendahl .
Utendahl's reported bio is amazing.
"Being born on 1957 John Utendahl is one of the charismatic men of todays era owning the Utendahl Group of companies. Utendahl Group is the largest African American owned investment banking organization in the United States. Utendahl is regarded as one of the most honorable and successful African Americans on Wall Street."
But the best part – Utendahl has an MBA from Columbia Business School!
"John Utendahl began his career in 1982 as a corporate bond trader of Salomon Brothers. Then he tried his hands on the brokeage house of Merrill lynch. His skills and talents had helped him to soon acquire the post of vice-president. "

Three Dimensions of the Anointing Teaching Highlights Fire Conference in Detroit
Detroit is Michigan's largest city, a major port city on the Detroit River, and is known around the world for its automobile industry and legendary music. Its panoramic waterfront, framed by distinctive art deco buildings, form a recognizable skyline that features the General Motors Renaissance Center, a group of seven interconnected skyscrapers. The central tower, the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center that soars 73 floors above the Detroit River, is both Michigan's tallest building and also the tallest all-hotel skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere.
On April 24–25, 2008, the Detroit Marriott Renaissance was also home to the exciting Benny Hinn Ministries Fire Conference.
Session 1 Highlights
Pastor Benny began a teaching on the three dimensions of the anointing, including the anointing for salvation, the priestly anointing for ministry, and the kingly anointing for dominion.
As part of this powerful teaching on anointing, he taught on the seven covenants of the Bible, pointing to the fact that every covenant has promises, terms, blood, and a seal. These include:
• Adamic Covenant
• Noahic Covenant
• Abrahamic Covenant
• Mosaic Covenant
• Davidic Covenant
• New Covenant
• Everlasting Covenant
"Every covenant promises power," Pastor Benny explained. "Each replenishes, and each allows you to possess the gates of your enemies."
Session 2 Highlights
On Friday morning, the enthusiastic crowd received a revealing teaching concerning the benefits of the prophetic, including the four realms of prophecy:
• Prophecy in Scripture
• The Spirit of Prophecy
• The Gift of Prophecy
• The Office of Prophet
"Prophets are vessels chosen to function accurately in the word of knowledge and word of wisdom," he explained.
Session 3 Highlights
"When you move into this dimension," he taught, "the anointing is going to drip off your life everywhere you go. Out of your belly shall flow rivers of living waters. But you cannot be trusted with this dimension if you are not faithful in your current dimension and walk. The kingly anointing is an everlasting and permanent anointing, and a demand is placed upon your life for you to move to this higher plateau in the Spirit. This third anointing is God's highest will for your life!"
At the close of the conference, Pastor Benny moved into a powerful prayer of impartation and anointing for the pastors who were present, laying hands upon them, and praying for a greater anointing of the Holy Spirit upon their life and ministry. No one, it seemed, wanted to leave, desiring to share in the warmth and anointing the attendees had witnessed.
"What a mighty anointing!" Pastor Benny reported at the conclusion of this historic Fire Conference. "We have seen God doing something very special in each of the conferences and crusades, but this was amazing. I believe we are just starting to see what God has in store for His people. He wants us to move into a deeper dimension of anointing. What we have witnessed here is a wonderful foretaste of the days to come as more and more believers get hungry and thirsty for all that God has for them!"
Be a Vital Part of Our Historic Crusades!
God is doing a mighty work through each Holy Spirit Miracle Crusade and Fire Conference. Multitudes are receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and seeing God's mighty miracle-working power! These crusades and conferences are increasingly expensive because of extensive travel and setup costs. Pray and believe with Pastor Benny Hinn for a supernatural harvest of souls! Sow your generous seed-gift into the fertile soil of upcoming crusades and conferences today!

I take great pleasure in writing about what I know or experience. I suppose all writers feel the same about their passions. Two of my passions are photography and music. And although I am not musical myself I have surrounded my life with music starting way back to the music of my youth and those fabulous lads from Liverpool, The Beatles. Back in the early part of 2013 a Beatles tribute band I had come to know and admire for their fabulous and faithful renditions of the Beatles experience and music, Britain's Finest was to appear on a brand new television program that was to broadcast nationally from the Roxy Theater on the Sunset strip. The show called itself "The World's Greatest Tribute Bands" and it boldly promised to showcase exactly that, musicians in costume and makeup playing and singing LIVE the feel and music of the bands they set out to pay tribute in front of a live audience. In watching Britain's Finest that night I was enveloped in the energy and experience of that night and knew immediately...I had to be back.
And so I have. I have also had the privilege of being a part of the photographer pool that has been photographing the show with our captured images helping to showcase these acts to fans far and wide. And so when season 3 aired it's last show with Mr Speed, a KISS tribute band, host Katie Daryl announced a special bonus show to cap off 3 fabulous seasons of tribute acts and present the band that helped kick off this great show, Britain's Finest.
Having had the privilege of attending both of those shows I felt it only fitting to take a moment to find out what the experience is like for the talented musicians and artists selected to appear on this nationally broadcast television show. And what about the show's fabulous host Katie Daryl? I asked for her thoughts on the show and the experience of being not only the on-air host but the producer as well.
Katie Daryl: "I've now produced 38 episodes of The World's Greatest Tribute Bands and I might actually be more excited for Season 4 than any other season! The word is spreading about the show; I have bands reaching out to me from all over the world wanting me to review their submissions. And I have fans emailing daily suggesting their favorite bands and expressing their love for The World's Greatest Tribute Bands. So getting to roll up my sleeves and start the scouting process for Season 4 has me really amped up!"
SG: And what can you tell us about season 4?
Katie Daryl: "When it comes to my vision for Season 4, first and foremost I think about our TV audience. Sure this is a really fun free event to go to in LA, but the purpose of The World's Greatest Tribute Bands is to make awesome LIVE TV. It's so incredible to work in the LIVE TV format, knowing that anything can happen during our broadcast and our AXS TV viewers across the nation will get to witness that is pretty thrilling. So as I look for my bands to feature, I have to keep in mind what our AXS TV audience likes to watch. AXS TV just broadcasted LIVE from the Coachella, Jazz Fest and StageCoach festivals, so I know our viewers appreciate great music, the like country, they like current, and they love the classics so I guess you could say Season 4 will reflect that this fall!"
All of this sounds very interesting and enticing. This would mean there are acts out there probably very curious to know about the experience is like to actually perform on stage and in the living rooms of households across the country. As I said, having attended a good portion of these shows and getting to know these performers, I was able to reach out to a few of them to get their take on this experience. This is what they had to say:
Mick Adams and the Stones - Rolling Stones Tribute Band
Mick Adams: "I think "The Worlds Greatest Tribute Bands" has done a number of things for the tribute band community. First of all, it's afforded us an even greater exposure by putting us in homes all over the country. Two, it's really brought the tribute bands who've been exposed to this even closer together creating somewhat of a "tribute fraternity". We've all become very supportive of each other and love the fact that if we're not playing on a Monday night, that we're at the AXS shows supporting each other, the artists performing that night as well as Katie Daryl and the show itself. I personally, have appeared on the show twice and now my band, "Mick Adams and The Stones" have recorded on itunes for AXS TV's, "The Worlds Greatest Tribute Bands". I just heard an hour ago that we currently as of this writing hold the #1 slot which makes me feel pretty good! I guess you could say the show's been really good to me. I feel we all owe a debt of gratitude to Mark Cuban as well as Katie Daryl for putting together such a fabulous concept to showcase all these great bands talents!"
Michelle Tyler, Bella Donna a tribute to Stevie Nicks
Michelle Tyler "Working with AXS TV and Katie Daryl was one of the highlights of our 12 years as a tribute band. Bella Donna (Tribute to Stevie Nicks) was given the opportunity to reach out to a wider audience and connect in ways with our friends and fans that was impossible before WGTB's. The community spirit was alive and the camaraderie among all the acts was electrifying. We all became fast friends in a supportive and non competitive way. It was magical"
Kenny Metcalf as Elton and the Early Years Band
Kenny Metcalf: "Being selected by Katie Daryl and being approved by Mark Cuban and Ryan Seacrest's network AXS-TV was an honor. To be given a LIVE broadcast to a nation audience impacted our lives and increased our credibility. Since our LIVE broadcast show, we have been considered the best Elton tribute, but not because we say so, but because of the support of AXS-TV and it's name behind us. The tribute world is a world of serious actors, musicians, singers who take recreating iconic music to the limit. From sounding like the artist, looking like the artist, and recreating the costumes.. It is really "musical theatre"... The very thing the 70's were all about, from Tommy, to Rocky Horror Picture Show. A full on tribute is like watching a movie about a specific artist.. That is what we do. It is not simply a cover band, but a thought out, calculated production by professionals. All the bands on AXSTV The Worlds Greatest Tribute Bands have become closer as a result of the show, and Katie Daryl is our leader.
To sound like an artist of the past, with all their costumes, mannerism's is not something everybody can do. AXSTV gave us the opportunity to show a nation what we work so hard at doing. All alumni of the show have joined an exclusive club we have all coined "Tribute U". We are all forever grateful for what we were given and for the fans we gained and jobs received from our performance on The Worlds Greatest Tribute Bands"
Robert Bielma, Britain's Finest – Beatles Tribute Band
Robert Bielma: "The show has given a voice to the tribute bands that before went unnoticed. AXS TV is giving a chance to those unknown acts and helping them get national exposure. Tributes were once regarded as has been musician's, but WGTB's is showing everyone that this is a very viable industry. Just because your original band doesn't make it, doesn't mean you can make it in the music business. I know for Britain's Finest, AXS TV and Katie Daryl have helped us get our name out to the masses, in turn helping us achieve better success for us and our booking agency Music Zirconia"
Dan Johnson - Which One's Pink, Pink Floyd Tribute Band
Dan Johnson: "We were very excited about being selected for the program. Our turn came up on August 19,2013. We, of course, knew a bunch of the bands that had already been on the program before us so we called everyone to get a feel for what it was going to be like. Most of us then attended The Police Experience show in person and were blown away at the energy in the room (as well as the band's incredible performance). So we felt that we had good idea of what to expect when our turn came up We were wrong. We loaded in our gear that afternoon and went through our entire set in sound check. We could hear our fans outside the Roxy reacting to the songs we played in sound check. But we were unprepared for the unbridled electricity the crowd was feeding back the second we were introduced. I think our fans took this personally - they believe that Which One's Pink? is one of the World's Greatest Tribute Bands and they want to prove it to the rest of the country. It's ironic that Sunset Strip crowds have a reputation for being jaded and aloof but our crowd at the Roxy could not have been more engaged or LOUD! They may have been at their loudest AFTER the broadcast performance when, after an hour set of the FM radio hits we gave them the "deep cut" "Set the Controls For The Heart of the Sun."
Space Oddity - David Brighton's Tribute to David Bowie
David Brighton: "I have a lot of respect for Katie Daryl. She's a great person... and a she's a very hard worker. The show has been a lot of fun and has really helped cement a lot of positive relationships between the bands who have performed on it. This odd little sub-culture we call the Tribute Band scene has become a tightly knit community of good friends... I am honored to be a part"
The phenomenal success of the World's Greatest Tribute Bands has sent reverberations throughout the LIVE venue community with club owners and patrons now seeking out more than ever the music they love, performed LIVE by talented and seasoned musicians. If you are lucky enough to live in proximity to Los Angeles and desire to attend one of the broadcast show nights I recommend you do it. Having attended many television productions I can say the experience of attending a WGTB show is like no other. You can meet and get up close with all of these artists and musicians. Believe me when I say, they would definitely love to meet you.
And one other thing...you can now take some of this music home with you because the World's Greatest Tribute Bands now have 3 volumes of music from selected bands that have appeared on the show from the last 3 seasons. These tracks are freshly produced recordings and are a fantastic companion piece to the show. And watch out...Vol 4 season 4 is already in the works. You can purchase your copy of Vol. 1, 2 & 3 on iTunes today.
Dan Johnson of the band "Which One's Pink" was instrumental in presenting the idea of a stand alone CD "soundtrack" showcasing the bands from each season as an alternate vehicle to reach out to the tribute band community and it's very loyal fan base. I asked Dan to give us a breakdown on how all this came about:
Dan: "I started thinking about a plan to get as many of the World's Greatest Tribute Bands to record studio tracks and make them available on iTunes and Amazon. Which One's Pink? had recorded with Michael Vail Blum, a critically acclaimed record producer and engineer whose credits range from Madonna to Pink Floyd to Suicidal Tendencies to Toy Matinee. I knew that most of these tribute bands have been focused on live shows and had not yet made the transition to record. I wanted to capture as much of this talent on record as possible. So I spoke with Katie Daryl about recording "her" bands and releasing the records under the AXS TV brand. She was very enthusiastic and has encouraged everyone to record with Michael.
So far we have released 57 songs on 4 volumes. We have amazing tracks from Led Zepagain, Mick Adams and The Stones, Bonfire, No Duh, Hollywood U2, The Police Experience, The Who Revue, Bella Donna, Queen Nation, The Fab Four, Kenny Metcalf as Elton, the Early Years, Damage, Inc, Rumours. Alice in Cooperland, The Pettybreakers, True to Crue and, of course, Which One's Pink? On a side note, my 10 year old daughter and her 4th grade friends have all made their recording debut singing "School's Out" with Alice in Cooperland.
The feedback from the bands about their experiences with Michael Blum has been incredible. The quality of these recordings is overwhelming! The years of experience these bands have all put in paid off handsomely in the studio. We are now in the process of gearing up to record as many of the Season 4 bands as possible before the Season premiere. Of course, there are many bands from Seasons 1, 2 and 3 we are still trying to get "on wax." Of course many of these bands have no time for recording given the surge of popularity they experienced as a result of their WGTB appearances. Stay tuned -- there will definitely be a Volume 5 out shortly and we hope to release as many as 5 additional volumes by the end of 2014"
The WGTB show now broadcasts live from the historic Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip. Look for season 4 to premier on AXS TV in the fall.

TurboTax on VirtualBox problem solved
By walterbays on Mar 29, 2010
Intuit support was little help, but did tell me how to create and access a verbose installer log file. That pointed me to a .NET error: "Handle does not support synchronous operations." Searching for that message I found a lot of people were getting the error with various programs including TurboTax, and with various versions of Windows running natively, as well as on VirtualBox. I did a repair installation of .NET with the Windows installer, to no avail.
Finally I tried what seemed a long shot to me: I updated VirtualBox to the latest version 3.1.6. Problem solved! The installer ran to completion, updated the program from the net, and I proceded to begin my tax return without incident.
I don't see in the change log what might have fixed the problem, but I'm grateful to the VirtualBox team!

SPECtacular awards - High Performance Computing
By walterbays on Feb 24, 2010
Recently released SPEC MPI2007 2.0 benchmark adds support for testing much larger clusters, up to 2,048 ranks (cores). This represents a big leap over (the currently shipping with SPEC MPI version 1.1) Medium Data Set, which is designed to scale to 128 processing cores. The Large Data Set enables fair comparison of modern HPC systems as they have outgrown the Medium Data Set. SPEC awarded six engineers for their work on this benchmark.
Andrey Naraikin - Intel
Huiyu Feng – SGI
Pavel Shelepugin - Intel
When creating new benchmarks, testing is vital, especially of a benchmark that can run into the thousands of cores. Andrey, Huiyu, and Pavel provided the testing needed to make sure our SPEC MPI2007 large dataset benchmark works at the largest sizes. They have provided the testing, problem identification, scaling analysis and bug fixes required to allow us to make progress on the benchmark.
Brian Whitney – Oracle
Brian is HPG's release manager who prepared many benchmark test kits integrating all the changes brought by the entire SPEC HPG group. He also implemented numerous infrastructure improvements.
Carl Ponder - IBM
Carl was a crucial contributor for the development and management of MPI2007 documentation, especially with respect to the run rules, FAQ, and configuration file
Cloyce Spradling – Oracle
SPEC MPI2007 uses the tools that SPEC CPU2006 is based upon. Cloyce adapted the tools to the HPC needs and extended them to include new flexibility needed for MPI2007.

SPECtacular awards - academia meets industry
By walterbays on Feb 23, 2010
More SPECtacular awards. As engineers know, academics are impractical. And as university researchers know, industrial practicioners have sorely limited vision. What does it take to bridge those two worlds so that industry can take full advantage of theoretical advances, and so that academia can leverage an industrial base to more quickly and easily develop relevant results? Two SPECtacular award recipients are answering that question: Kai Sachs of Technische Universität Darmstadt (top photo), and Samuel Kounev of Universität Karlsruhe (bottom photo).
SPEC has long offered reduced price benchmarks to educational institutions, and enticed universities to join as "associates" for a nominal fee. Yet when SPECies talk about our work designing, developing, and analyzing benchmarks, we mostly talk to each other. And when academic researchers talk about their work, they mostly talk to each other. Samuel and Kai have worked diligently to bridge the gap by growing SPEC's series of informal industrial benchmark workshops into a major performance conference co-sponsored by the ACM, with refereed and published proceedings, a diverse set of tracks, and a program committee drawn equally from industry and academia.
- SPEC Benchmark Workshop 2009
- First Joint WOSP/SIPEW International Conference on Performance Engineering WOSP/SIPEW 2010
- Second Joint WOSP/SIPEW International Conference on Performance Engineering WOSP/SIPEW 2011
Few people would have earned the respect and credibility in both the academic and the industrial spheres to be able to bridge the differences in culture and outlook and bring us together like this. And they are not finished yet - but that is a story for a later date. For now I'll just say, Kai Sachs and Samuel Kounev are SPECtacular!

SPECtacular awards - Java
By walterbays on Feb 15, 2010
Last December SPEC released the SPECjEnterprise2010 benchmark, the third generation of Java Enterprise Edition performance tests from the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) consortium. The new benchmark tests Java EE 5.0's significantly expanded and simplified programming model, with a realistic workload stressing the entire system including JVM, middleware, Database, CPU, disk and servers. Yet although the benchmark test is much broader, it is simpler than ever to run because it takes advantage of Java EE 5.0 features and because it uses the open source Faban general purpose driver.
One of the most enjoyable duties of SPEC President is thanking the people from all the member institutions who make SPEC's success possible. I fear that it is all too easy for SPEC people's achievements to miss recognition, in our environment where their successes are most visible to their competitors rather than to their own management. So each January at the annual meeting we present awards to SPECtacular contributers. And now I write here to give them a bit of public recognition. I start this year with award recipients from the Java committee. Awards were presented by Alan Adamson (on right in photo, presenting award to Steve Realmuto). Alan is a SPEC Awards Committee member, member of the Board of Directors, and former chair of the Java committee.
Akara Sucharitakul - Oracle
The silent partner. Akara developed Faban, made it available to SPEC, and implemented new features needed to facilitate its use in SPECjEnterprise2010, so that the benchmark can be broader in scope and still be simpler to run.
Anil Kumar - Intel
The greenie. Although SPECjEnterprise2010 version 1.0 does not include an energy metric, the code is there thanks to Anil, awaiting adoption of suitable run and reporting rules.
Anoop Gupta - Oracle
The quiet achiever. Anoop seldom took part in the committee's sometimes raucous debates, because he was busy working on the code, making sure the workload is correct and correctly balanced.
Bernhard Riedhofer - SAP
Mr Specification. Berhnard speaks very quietly and politely , but the development group learned early on that when Bernhard speaks , it pays to listen. Of his many code contributions, those to make the database loader run truly parallel are going to be most appreciated by folks running large submissions.
David Keenan – Oracle
The chair. The job of chairing one of SPEC's largest and sometimes fractious committees is not an easy one, particularly while running results review for 4 benchmarks plus development of two new benchmarks. David combines a soft touch with firm determination to get the job done.
John Stecher - IBM
The closer. At then end when "only" a few tough action items stood in the way of benchmark release, John got additional resources committed from IBM to "get this thing done," pitching in for plenty of the closing work himself too.
Rahul Biswas - Oracle
Mr WebServices. Rahul provided most of the web services code, plus the code and ant scripts to integrate the benchmark into the Faban harness.
Robert Wisniewski - IBM
The reporter. Rob wrote the reporter code and built the test kits. He also served as secretary: taking good notes is vital to an open development process of multiple (competing) vendors.
Saraswathy Narayan - Oracle
The architect. Sara took the time to make a deep study of the entire benchmark from a transactional and data flow perspective, ensuring the correctness and function of the database schema and benchmark data partitioning.
Steve Realmuto - Oracle
The chief of police. Steve contributed much to the organisation of the benchmark development effort, and helped the team follow SPEC policies. He was editor of the run rules, driving the review and ensuring correctness.
Tom Daly – Oracle
The instigator. Tom was a relentless leader in driving the project forward, and a tireless worker in helping to push at every stage. The benchmark became a much richer and diverse test of Java middleware because of Tom's influence.
Congratulations to these outstanding engineers, and to the entire SPEC Java team!

Oracle Takes Off!
By walterbays on Jan 26, 2010
"Some may try and tell us that this is the end of an era. But what they overlook is that in America, every day is a new beginning, and every sunset is merely the latest milestone on a voyage that never ends. For this is the land that has never become, but is always in the act of becoming." - Ronald Reagan

Fixing OO 3.1 spellcheck on OpenSolaris
By walterbays on Dec 25, 2009
One of Santa's duties at our house is system administration, Ubuntu, XP, Vista, and OpenSolaris. Why doesn't the OpenOffice (version 3.1) spell checker work on the OpenSolaris PC? It turns out the dictionary was packaged wrong in OpenSolaris. This affects US English. I don't know if there are similar problems for other languages. See openoffice.org for the problem report and solution. It's an easy fix. In OpenOffice go into Tools -> Extension Manager to delete your existing US English dictionary; otherwise the extension manager will refuse to overwrite it with what it thinks is to be an identical version. Then do Tools -> Language -> More Dictionaries Online. Select US English; install; and you're done.

Another new U-verse feature
By walterbays on Sep 27, 2009
Word of mouth is the best marketing. Literally in this case. My neighbor told me another new feature was delivered to AT&T set top boxes to allow you to play media content from your hope PC's to your TV. Already of course I could sync my iPod, and carry it down to the docking station in the living room. Or I could write music and photos to a USB stick and plug it into the TV to see and hear it. Or I could upload content to Yahoo and view it through U-verse.
This is different. The set top boxes simply connect to Windows Media Player on PC's through the home router to access content without sending anything outside the home. Well this won't work for me, I thought, because I don't run Windows native. I run Windows XP under VirtualBox virtualization software.
I only had to install Media Player 11 (version 9 is too old) and select "bridged adapter" networking for my Windows virtual machine. (I doubt that NAT would work since the virtual machine wouldn't be visible on the network, but I didn't try it.) Now all my TV's can browse music and photos on two PC's. Select background music and start a slide show of today's snapshots. Really nice.

Street Smart hybrid electric bicycle
By walterbays on Jun 08, 2009
Last weekend I went to Street Smart San Diego where, among many interesting booths, they offered test rides of various hybrid electric bicycles. I really liked the Eneloop from Sanyo which is coming to the U.S. this Fall. It's not just an electric assisted bicycle (in the spirit of "mild hybrid" automobiles) but a hybrid integrated drive (in the spirit of Toyota's hybrid synergy drive. You don't have to think about controlling the electric motor. The way you ask for power is to pedal, and the bike matches your effort 2-to-1 at low speeds and 1-to-1 at high speeds. Coast on a slight downhill and it reclaims some energy to recharge the battery. Brake and it reclaims more.

SPECtacular awards & new web performance/energy benchmark
By walterbays on Jun 05, 2009
The last of the 2009 SPECtacular awards. SPECweb2005 is the industry standard performance metric for web servers, and today it is joined by SPECweb2009, the industry standard performance and energy metric for web servers. The benchmark includes a banking workload (all SSL), a support workload (no SSL), and an ecommerce workload (mixed). This is the first application of the SPECpower methodology to potentially large system under test configurations. In the initial benchmark results you can see one system with and one without external storage, and the test report lets you see the power consumption of just the server, of the storage, and of the entire configuration at various utilization levels. The entire committee did a fantastic job with this benchmark. As always, I won't list anyone's name without permission. (But give me the okay and I'll update this posting!) SPEC recognizes:
Gary Frost (AMD) who stepped in to fill a key developer role in an emergency with the release clock ticking. He took over the control code after a sudden reassignment, and frankly we handed him quite an undocumented mess. Gary was up to the challenge and produced the finished code.
Another engineer from AMD had primary responsibility for the reporting page generator. You often can't know exactly what information ought to go into a full disclosure report (FDR) until you see it. Nor how you want it organized and arranged. Nor what data integrity cross checks need be present to avoid errors. So the committee changed requirements often during development. But no matter how many requirements were placed on him, he turned around with the needed code within a week!
An engineer from Fujitsu Technology Solutions became the de facto quality assurance office because of his thorough and methodical testing practices. If there are a hundred ways software in general can go wrong, then there are a thousand ways benchmark software can go wrong, as by its nature it runs on systems stressed to the limit. When SPEC benchmark software just works that is largely due to people like this engineer who forsee, test, and diagnose every possible failure unanticipated by the authors.
And, if you'd like to see all of the SPECtacular awards, then follow the tags!

Alan Adamson is SPECtacular
By walterbays on Jun 03, 2009
Another SPECtacular award from the SPEC annual meeting: Alan Adamson retired from IBM where he had been their primary SPEC Representative, held a number of different elective positions in SPEC, and earned deep respect and trust from his colleagues. Coming from the IBM Toronto Software Lab, Alan was a natural to lead SPEC's Java committee. Having put that very large committee in smooth running order, Alan was elected secretary to the Power committee helping it to produce the first industry standard power performance benchmark. Meanwhile he led the OSG steering committee which coordinates activities of all the SPEC OSG committees.
Alan genuinely cares about the
well-being of SPEC and the people involved. He demonstrates
incredible thoughtfulness and effectiveness in thinking about SPEC's
benchmark development. He fosters the fun and friendly SPEC culture
where there is always time to share a joke or a funny story if
appropriate. At the same time he creates space for candid discussions
of serious matter. Alan's leadership and personal effort has been a
big contributor to the success of SPEC.
Alan continues to hold one position in SPEC, as a director, because members of the board of directors are elected as individuals, not as companies. Alan serves as a general chair of the 2010 WOSP/SIPEWInternational Conference on Performance Engineering, a joint conference of SPEC and ACM which brings together top academic researchers and industry practitioners in performance engineering.
You can follow Alan on his blog, for interesting insights on art, technology, politics, and life - where he is just as opinionated as ever, just as modest as ever, just as intolerant of stupidity, and just as tolerant of the people involved - even when we are opinionated, immodest, and stupid at times. For all his hard work in SPEC I can think of nobody more deserving of a relaxing retirement than Alan, and nobody whom we will miss more than him!

Klaus-Dieter Lange is SPECtacular
By walterbays on Jun 01, 2009
Another SPECtacular award from the SPEC annual meeting: Klaus Lange (HP) has become a valuable conduit across different levels of the organization and across benchmark subcommittees, by virtue of becoming indispensable in all of them. Though Klaus is an experienced "SPEC hand" he never forgot what he faced as a newcomer, and took it on himself to organize a new member orientation program to help new institutions integrate into SPEC more easily and effectively. As chair of the SPECpower committee Klaus delivered the industry's first energy efficiency benchmark, and leads the committee in aiding other groups as they add energy metrics to a wide range of benchmarks. These groups include many SPEC committees as well as other industry consortia. As HP's representative on the OSG steering committee Klaus has earned respect for his opinions with his diligence and fair mindedness. As a member of the Board of Directors he is often the first to step up to volunteer for important projects, as well as exercising sound judgment in conducting SPEC's business operations.

John Henning is SPECtacular
By walterbays on May 29, 2009
Another SPECtacular award from the SPEC
annual meeting: John
Henning of Sun Microsystems is
secretary of the Open Systems Group steering committee. John has been
the driving force behind improvements to our policy
document. This is crucial to efficient operation of the
organization, especially as so many new organizations have joined
SPEC and so many new participants have joined into the work even from
long time SPEC member companies. John is also the one who reminds all
of us to pause in our lecturing and really listen to our adversaries,
the dissident minority voice. Sometimes they have a point that is
valuable to the task at hand, if we only recognize it, and thereby harness all of the energy and creativity of the group.

David Morse is SPECtacular
By walterbays on May 28, 2009
Another SPECtacular award from the SPEC annual meeting: David Morse (Dell) served as vice-chair and now chair of the Open Systems Group steering committee, his effective organization and leadership of a rather fractious bunch, with successful release of many benchmarks, and formalization of rules and procedures to put everyone on an even footing with the "good old boys" and reduce risk and uncertainty in members' use of the benchmarks. Another example of his dedication is his implementation of bookmarkable search extensions to benchmark result queries on spec.org. David is equally comfortable and competent in the most complicated leadership roles and in the most difficult and detailed technical roles.
I am a software engineer in San Diego, president of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (spec.org), formerly a mathematician and a violist.

"People with mental problems are our neighbors. .... If we ignore their cries for help, we will be continuing to participate in the anguish from which those cries for help come. A problem of this magnitude will not go away. Because it will not go away, and because of our spiritual commitments, we are compelled to take action." (Rosalynn Carter)
Local San Diego County police officers and sheriff's deputies responded to 22,315 incidents of mental-health-related calls in 2013, which is an unsettling increase of 55 percent from 2008, according to a report just released by the San Diego Association of Governments.
SANDAG studied the four largest law enforcement agencies in the county -- San Diego police, Chula Vista police, Oceanside police and the county Sheriff's Department, according to Itica Milanes of SanDiego10news. She further reports this warning:
"... some police officers told 10News it's only going to get worse."
69 mental health calls per day
Another article on the report, this one from Andie Adams of NBCsandiego.com states:
"On average, local law enforcement agencies dealt with 69 mental health calls per day in 2013."
The SANDAG researchers cited "stressful economic conditions, limited resources from the station and the expectation that officers should respond to mental health crises," according to the story. Further, SANDAG officials want "... comprehensive regional strategies to deal with these calls, which cost the county time, money and public safety risks."
The fact that those increasing mental health calls for help have been using up more law enforcement resources, was mentioned also in an online article from KPBS.
Suicide: rate for older adults 50% higher than national rate as a whole
Rev. Susan Gregg-Schroeder, described as a coodinator of Mental Health Ministries on MentalHealthMinistries.net, writes that one life is lost to suicide "every 15.8 minutes." She adds:
"The suicide rate for older adults is 50% higher than the national rate as a whole."
Two other points Rev. Gregg-Schroeder made:
- 1 out of 5 community hospital stays involves a primary or secondary diagnosis of mental illness
- Approximately 20-25% of jail/prison inmates and youth involved with juvenile justice live with a serious mental illness
Last week in Vista, a San Diego Sheriff officer lead a group of local Leadership Academy participants through the Vista Detention Center on Melrose. The tour was informative, but ultimately very, very depressing. While officers can be trained for dealing with a multitude of scenarios and contacts, they have no control over some societal choices: what voters want, what government officials decide or lawmakers order for California residents facing poor economic conditions, mental health issues, etc.
City Manager Patrick Johnson recently stated that, in looking at crime statistics, there has been an increase in local crimes such as breaking windows in cars and petty thefts.

So, first of all, THIS happened:
After like 700 years of being pregnant, Ally finally had her kittens! She picked the guest bedroom under the bed, despite the two super nice birthing boxes I set up for her elsewhere in the house. Ah well, at least it was somewhere safe, and easy to keep the other cats out of!
There are actually 3, but the third is somewhere behind her in this pic. I've tried not to disturb them much so far, and sticking my big honkin' camera under the bed to snap photos feels too intrusive, so I've only taken a couple so far. Kitten #3 is more grey than brown, and is stripier than the other two. They are all SO FREAKING CUTE.
In other kitty news, I took Lula to the vet yesterday for an abscessed tooth. It's so typical of my house that something's wrong with a cat's tooth, so she goes to the vet within a day or two, while I've got cavities out the wazoo and a filling that fell out 4 years ago that still hasn't been replaced. C'est la vie. Anyway, while we were there, the vet wanted to run some blood tests and I mentioned I was a little worried she might be diabetic. Turns out I was right. :( I have to go back today to get insulin and syringes and low carb kitty food. The good news is that diabetes in cats can be reversed, so she may only need to be on insulin for a few months. I REALLY hope so, because it's over $100 for a 3 month supply, plus about another $30 for syringes, and my normal bank account balance is about $4. I'm going to try to get in touch with some companies that make or sell low carb cat food to see if they'll send me some samples for review, since the food the vet suggested is also crazy expensive. (Fellow bloggers, if you have any PR contacts for this, pleeeease hook me up! Momma's got mouths to feed!)
Not all that much going on in non cat news! I've been kinda sickly all week, so there's been a lot of curling up with books happening. But I am going to use this chance to unload some photos from my phone for random blah-blah-blahing!
I got this cup at Target for $1 and I'm in love, I've been using it like every day. I also got one with owls, which is awesome because their eyes end up reflecting back up at you in the surface of your beverage. So win.
I stopped at my favorite used book store last week! It's a total cluttered mess with many aisles that are mostly too tiny to fit into. The one above is probably the widest aisle in the store. They are kind of expensive (I paid $3 for one paperback!) so next time I need to go in armed with trade-ins!
My latest Orange Leaf fro-yo creation. It still drives me nuts that their website lists awesome sounding flavors like green tea and honeydew melon, while my local branch has like... vanilla and chocolate. Still, nom.
After procuring my yogurt above, I drove WAYYYYY out to the far, far end of the Branson Landing parking area so I could sit in the car and eat and look at the lake and listen to music in super-duper-quiet and privacy. I'm weird like that. So of course, about 2 minutes after I got settled in, a group of 4 people ended up standing like 10 feet from my car and conversing LOUDLY for the next 15 minutes or so. So much for peace and quiet.
This is my new boyfriend. We are in love. I can't even tell you guys how obsessed I am with this stuff! It's especially spectacular when added to the cherry green tea I already drink like crazy. SO GOOD.
People never seem to believe me when I tell them just how obsessed BonoCat is with boobs. This is a pretty normal sleeping position for us.
I had this grand idea a few weeks ago to take alllll the books off of allll my bookshelves (I have 3 bookcases) to reorganize and dust and stuff. Of course I got tired of it about halfway through and I still have books sitting around. However, Toey decided to help me, so these are some gratuitous pictures of his adorableness.
I'm obsessed with the way he sticks his thumbs out, like he's walking on high heels. I can't tell you how much I hope his new brothers/sisters end up being polydactyl, too!
Are we caught up now? I think so. It's 7am and I got one whole hour of sleep. It makes the 3 hours I got the night before sound down right awesome. Uggggggh. Send Starbucks, please!

I am a daily I-5 commuter. Here's what I saw today on my way to work as I crossed the I-5 Bridge: A shoe, and half a motorcycle, in the middle of the highway accompanied by ambulances, wrecked cars and a backup that went beyond the horizon. This all gives testimony to a piece of highway that is unacceptably unsafe and that has turned a person trying to get to work into yet another victim.
More than 60,000 parents, friends, co-workers and neighbors cross this dinosaur we call the Interstate 5 Bridge every day to get to work and home again.
Hundreds of accidents happen on this stretch of highway each year — more than any other in our region, and we each hope we aren't the next statistic.
We have to replace this bridge now. We can't in good conscience delay its construction to debate things that are secondary to safety and lose this opportunity to fix it. I-5 commuters are the witnesses to the bridge's dangers, from fender-benders to heart-wrenching crashes like the one I saw this morning. Let's replace this hazardous bridge so we can all get home safely.

Is it possible to convert an RGB image to CMYK without an ICC profile?
Short answer: If you don't mind which colors the CMYK channel values represent, simply apply any random CMYK profile you can find and call it a day.
Long answer: there is no really color space called "CMYK" with the meaning that ANY value combination for channels
If you don't know the profile of the output device, doing "color separation" (converting from sRGB to unspecified/random CMYK color space) is pretty pointless, in my opinion.
