Okay, here is the story. Yesterday on the radio show I described the Pandigital tablet I purchased for my wife and how the battery seemed to be failing. I also mentioned the totally dismissive a**hole attitude at Office Depot where I bought the unit. Today, while my wife was using the Pandigital tablet, failing battery and all, the unit froze. I performed the button press sequence to get to the reboot menu (several times, as the unit does not always respond to the recommended sequence of power-off, three buttons, three buttons again, wait for the symbol, and three buttons again) I hit reboot only to get the display above, which indicates the main memory of this unit has failed. Now, I am assured by Office Depot that if I spend a while pouring through my file cabinet to find my purchase receipt (Office Depot does not keep that information even though to supposedly goes on my buyer card) that I can send the unit to the manufacturer (1 week) and they will send me a replacement (another week plus however long they take to process the replacement), which means that not only has my wife lost the use of HER tablet for two + weeks, she has also lost all the data she had on it. As I recall it took most of a day to set it up with the wifi and her email accounts. That time too is lost and at my age, time is precious! But here is the deal. I do not WANT a replacement. The expectation is that it too will fail after just a few months and I not need that aggravation. I understand ASUS has a new tablet coming out and all the ASUS equipment I have has held up pretty good, the sole exception being a prior netbook ruined by a virus. So as soon as they arrive, Claire gets an ASUS tablet, and I will purchase another Pandigital product ever again. So here is the official WRH product recommendation to our readers. If you are thinking of buying a tablet, do NOT by Pandigital. Ever. Not once. Anger and misery will be your fate if you buy this cheap piece of money-junkie crap!

This country can't even make a coffee press! So here is the story. 2 months ago I buy my wife a Black & Decker FP1600B food processor. About a month ago the metal slicing/grating blade works loose on its plastic (????) hub. I repair that. (Plastic? On the point of maximum stress??? What is B&D thinking?)
So tonight we go to use the unit again and there is a loud sound and we discover the spindle running from the motor up to the plastic hub holding the metal slicer/grater has broken in two pieces. Repairs are impossible because it is also cracked lengthwise. In two places!
The spindle is also plastic. Not even solid plastic, it is hollow in the center, I presume to save .00007 of one cent, said revenue to go to the Black & Decker executives' booze and hooker party fund. And again, we are talking about the part of the appliance subject to the greatest stresses during operation.
It looks like Black & Decker, like Hewlett Packard, traded in the people who actually knew engineering in favor of some money-junkies who don't know anything about physics!
So, since the unit is under warranty, I go to Black and Decker's website and not only can I not find the FP1600B under parts and service, when I try to go to customer service to give them advance warning that they are their crappy products are about to become a headline story on the WRH radio show, I get the above 404 error, which I interpret as Black & Decker's way of telling me to fuck off and buy someone else's product, which I plan to do tomorrow.
Moral of the story; no matter how good Black & Decker used to be (and they were) they have gone down the path to the dark side of money-junkiedom, and their products are poorly designed and not supported. Dump your Black & Decker stick; they will not be around much longer with products and service like that!
For Valentine's day, my wife purchased the above coffee press, made by Primula, from Macy's. This was intended to replace the automatic electronic coffee maker which had developed holes in the filter basket (and for which no spares were sold).
The above photo is what the coffee press looked like just two weeks after I started to use it, with the color film peeling off. We took it back to Macy's and they insisted they could not replace it because there were no more in stock. I wasn't all that upset about it because I could care less what color the thing is as long as it makes a good cup of coffee. We just wanted Macy's to know they were carrying a clearly defective product line.
But two weeks later, the thin metal in the plunger had begun to deform under normal usage, coffee grounds started to get into the coffee, the logo button on the handle popped out ... you get the idea. I went back to Macy's to complain again only to see the coffee press being sold on the clearance shelf for a tiny fraction of what we had paid.
Last time I go into a Macy's!
Oh yes, my wife had also bought a tea kettle, also made by Primula, and the insulated cover on the lever to open the spout kept falling off. When we tried to show that to the Macy's manager, we discovered that all the floor samples had lost that same part.
"My Stuff Sux" Brother Printer
Im Brian from Puyallups wife and he mentioned a new site you were starting called My Stuff Sux. I was just talking with him about my printers. I have a Canon Pixma 970 which eats through ink and a Brother HL2170W. Both printers have sensors that prevent printing when the ink is low.
The promised number of pages for the Brother starter toner cartridge is around 1000. Since I print a few hundred pages at a time, the first time my printer ran out of ink, I KNEW I hadnt reached the advertised limit. Brother puts a sensor that prevents the complete use of a cartridge. After some online research, I put a white label over the hole to block the sensor and printed at least 400 more pages.
Attached is a photo of the cartridge inside the carrier. The big white rectangular spot on the bottom between the spindles is where I block the signal. I cut an address label up and stuck it over the hole. It is on the carrier, not the cartridge. Now I just swap out the cartridge when I run out of ink on the page.
Now that Ive fixed it, the Brother actually does what I need it to do and for an extended period, but it still sucks that the company would prevent printing while the cartridge was still full.
|The above photo is the inspiration for this website (along with an Xterra that literally destroyed its engine the week we made the final payment and just after the extended warranty expired) and is NOT photoshopped. The Nissan logo
is in fact installed upside down on this Nissan Altima we had to rent while the Xterra was declared not worth the cost of repairing ($3700 to fix; I paid $100 for my first car.)
The vast majority of so-called "product review" websites seem to be covert industry promotional tools and most "reviews" seems to be little more than sales pitches "astroturfing" as grass roots opinions. I decided there was a need for websites where the owners of badly designed and poorly manufactured products can post critical honest and critical.
This website is not for car fans nor is it a place for people (salesmen) to brag about how great the product they bought (or are selling) is. This is a website for people burned by badly built products to warn other people not to buy.
Feel free to email me with suggestions for other featured and information.
"Our investigation reveals that Nissan typically denies warranty coverage for repairs caused by these defects even if the vehicles powertrain is still under warranty."
READER: I have been reading about your problems with Nissan and felt compelled to let them know how their behavior is affecting their bottom dollar. This is my letter to them.
Just to let you know...I was considering purchasing a new/used Titan. After reading numerous articles concerning Nissan and their lack of warranty coverage, Titan is no longer on my list of trucks to consider.
Example: http://www.transmission-lawsuit.com/
http://www.aboutautomobile.com/Complaint/2005/Nissan/Xterra/ Automatic+Transmission
There are more. I'm also concerned about Japan's radiation levels and where replacement parts are manufactured. I have never purchased a imported vehicle and seems now I never will. What you are putting your customers through is absurd. Any company that appreciates their customers should back their products. It's obvious you don't value them nor stand behind your products. This is odd because you used to have a good reputation.
All In all, thank you for showing me that Nissan is not a vehicle my family should consider. I believe you saved us from numerous headaches!

Where can I go for a warm place tonight?
Where can I go for a safe place to hide?
I hope it's close to you 'cause you're the only girl
The one that makes me feel like I'm on top of the world
And you'll never hear it anyway
But I'd like to say to you, can't you see that I like you?
Can't you see that I want you?
I cannot touch you, you'll never be my side
Where can you go for a warm place tonight?
Where can you go for a safe place to hide?
I know that's close to me but I'm not the only guy
Who sits here waiting for you as you keep passing by
And you'll never hear it anyway
But I'd like to say to you, when you're close to me
I don't know what to say
I feel so insecure, you can't take it away

If you are looking for gift ideas or good reads for Mother's Day, here's a brief look at several books that have come our way:
"CREATED FOR GREATER THINGS," Jeffrey R. Holland, Deseret Book, $15.99
Sometimes a well-chosen thought is all we need to keep us going, and this little volume does just that. Elder Holland's insights and words of encouragement — particularly to women — are paired with inspiring images that will lift and strengthen readers. "I believe we have all been created for greater things than we can comprehend," he says. "But such accomplishments are not achieved by fierce competitiveness, calculated one-up-manship, or cold indifference to others. True greatness will always be predicated upon love, respect, compassion, dignity prayer, hard work, God."
"BEDTIME AND NAPTIME: The Simple Joys of a Mom's Life," Hilary Weeks, Deseret Book, $14.99
Whether it's recording the funny comments her 4-year-old makes, quoting favorite authors, noticing how much a teenage daughter wants to copy her mother, sharing favorite recipes, or making up new words for popular songs, Weeks hopes this book will help mothers recognize the tender mercies that make it all worthwhile. Included is a CD with seven song parodies such as "Climb Every Mountain," "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo" and "My Favorite Things."
"MORNING SONG: Poems for New Parents," edited by Susan Todd and Carol Purington, St. Martin's Press, $21.99
With selections drawn from the Bible and traditional folk songs to Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost, this collection is poignant, inspiring, thoughtful and fun. Divided into sections such as Beginnings, Waiting, Birth Day, Newest Child, Sleep and Song, and At Play, the poems bring forth "the cosmic and the comic, the spiritual and the pragmatic, the whimsical and the divine."
"SORRY I PEED ON YOU (and Other Heartwarming Letters to Mommy)", Jeremy Greenberg, Andrews McMeel Universal, $12.99
Picture some of those particularly embarrassing moments involving your kids — the ones that make you wonder: what in the world were they thinking? Jeremy Greenberg has the answer. His humorous "letters" are written from the first-person perspective of toddlers who feel the need to apologize or enlighten mom. For example, Re: the bathroom beautification initiative: "I have lived in this house for three years now, Mommy, and I thought it'd be nice to draw something that says a toddler is part of this community." Re: these aren't Shrek ears: "I'm eating what? Broccoli does not sound like something a toddler should be eating. … Broccoli is the yukiest substance known to kids." Expressive pictures add to the fun.
"THROUGH HIS EYES: Rethinking What You Believe About Yourself," by Virginia H. Pearce, Deseret Book, $19.99
Just as you can clean the clutter out of your closets and off your shelves, you can clean it out of your mind, says Virginia H. Pearce. Clutter is not just a physical reality, it can be a mental one, too. And many of the beliefs and fictions that clutter our minds can keep us from recognizing "Truths with a capital T." Pearce provides both inspiration and practical suggestions on how to discard the things that may be hindering our progress.
"THE MOMMY DOCS' ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PREGNANCY AND BIRTH," by Yvonne Bohn, Allison Hill, Alane Park, DaCapo Press, $15.95
Written by three women who are both doctors and mothers, the book provides a comprehensive guide to pretty much everything that happens from preparing for pregnancy through the "fourth trimester" after birth, with special sections on such things as high-risk pregnancies and unexpected curveballs. Also included are answers to frequently asked questions and the facts about popular myths.

BACKGROUND: Drug shortages have been an ongoing problem that has spiraled in the last few years with number of drug shortages increasing almost 300% since 2005. 80% of the drugs currently in short supply are generic injectable medications and many patients have been unable to receive their usual drugs. This has been especially hard for those people with cancer because some of the drugs affected were chemotherapy treatments such as Doxil and others used to treat cancer. Both patients and health care providers are in a difficult situation of having to find alternatives for drugs that just are not available at the moment.
MAIN PROBLEMS: The main problems to be affecting the drug shortage seem to be on the manufacturing side which can be difficult because of regulations on how drugs are made, especially for injectable medications. Some manufacturing plants have even been shut down because of multiple problems in the manufacturing process discovered by the FDA. In the case of Ben Venue Laboratories, inspectors found various problems from metal shards in some of the drugs produced on site to a 10-gallon can filled with urine in the storage room. Due to these issues the lab was shut down in November 2011, and Ben Venue was one of the largest drug manufacturing companies in the United States. However, that is an extreme case and many times the difficulties in the manufacturing process are due to how stringent the requirements for making these drugs are.
WHO'S TO BLAME?: Some have put the blame on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the drug shortages because some believe FDA regulations on manufacturing companies in the United States have made it harder and a longer process for the companies to produce the drugs. When discussing the drug shortage, the House Oversight Committee also said that the FDA is partly to blame for the current situation as their regulatory activities have shut down 30% of total manufacturing power at four of the U.S.'s largest producers of generic injectables. However, others claim the FDA is part of the solution, not the problem and that the responsibility for the drug shortages cannot be placed on any one person or organization.
Drug shortages occur, manufacturers report (according to the Food and Drug Administration's website), because of unanticipated increase in demand or due to shortages of raw materials. Also, some companies have experienced quality control and other manufacturing problems that take time to correct. Others have made business decisions to stop making older, less profitable drugs. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine laid much of the blame for cancer drug shortages on the way oncologists in private practice operate. (Source: www.cnn.com, The Huff Post)

Ruby Princess Cruise Review by big1515: Hit or miss
Overall Member Rating
Hit or miss
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The ship is relatively new,clean and impressive. The passengers seemed to be mainly from Canada and the Midwest USA ..The ships officers are predominantly Italian which should state excellent food ,but Italian night on the ship was a little to be desired ...The breakfast was the high lite of the trip .It was plentiful,constant and had a large variety which met all our needs .,Lunch was good and changed to some extent daily ,but the sit down dinner was poor .The beef was good but not great .The seafood was very weak and lobster was a big disappointment .The wait staff in the buffet and dinning room was adequate .In the dinning room they always pushed the drinks.
We liked the Crown Grill steakhouse worth the extra $25 a head.
I Normally drink Mount Gay Rum ,but they did not have it on board ..Their loss !
Entertainment :
told good stories ,but the jokes were few and far between
The East coast connection band did a variety More of 50-60s music ,but needed a greater selection of songs ( same over and over ) .The last day a sax ( from where I do not know )joined them and the were 100% more dynamic
Egar @ the Explore bar was ,informative ,attentive and a nice guy.
Had a problem with a waiter a the coffee bar .The name escapes me ,but never got the order right and had an attitude

porting to uClibc-based 686 Linux
Dubiousjim <lists+haskell-glasgow <at> jimpryor.net>
My preferred system is a 686 Linux distro based on uClibc. No ghc binaries available yet there. I'd like to remedy that. I have ghc 7.4.2 running on an 686 Linux distro based on glibc (and also on two different versions of Mac OS X, but they seem more distant and so less likely to be helpful). In fact, ghc 7.6.2 binaries are also available for that system, but I'd like to keep in synch with the last released Haskell platform (which is what I've got on the Macs). That's supposed to be updated in May, so if it's only possible to port ghg >= 7.6.x to my target system, that won't be so terrible. I'm hoping though to be able to port a ghc < 7.8.x, because I don't expect to see that version in any soon-to-be-released Haskell platform. (I mention this because http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/CrossCompilation says: "Support for cross-compilation works reasonably well in 7.8.1. Previous versions had various issues which are usually work-aroundable.") Ok, so I'm getting stuck trying to build a version of ghc that will run on the target, uClibc-based system. I have a working cross-compiler. (In fact, I have two, one built using crosstools-NG, the other built using buildroot.) My target identifier is "i686-buildroot-linux-uclibc". I've tried the method for cross-compiling ghc posted here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompiling I had to tweak the configure script to not complain about the "buildroot" vendor id. Here is the content of my mk/build.mk file: BuildFlavour = unreg ... ifeq "$(BuildFlavour)" "unreg"(Continue reading)

UN Security Council Holds Debate on Protections for Journalists
Four journalists who have covered war zones will speak before the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) today as part of an open debate on international protection for journalists covering war zones and post-conflict zones. Correspondent Richard Engel of NBC, journalist Mustafa Haji Abdinur of Radio Simba in Somalia and Agence France Presse, Iraqi journalist Ghaith Abdul-Ahad of the Guardian, and Kathleen Carroll, Associated Press executive editor and vice chair of the board of the Committee to Protect Journalists, will be speaking today to members of the Council on the need to address attacks against journalists and also pursue prosecution for their attackers. You can watch the event live via webcast starting at 10am EST at http://webtv.un.org.
The US Mission to the UN organized the debate. Ambassador Rosemary A. DiCarlo, charge d'affaires to the U.S. mission to the UN, said at a press conference that the meeting would be "an opportunity to hear directly from journalists about the acts of violence they face while operating in conflict areas."
Whether any UN action can actually help journalists around the world is unclear. The last time the Council considered protections for journalists was in 2006, when it ratified Resolution 1738, which condemned intentional attacks on journalists. Since then, DiCarlo noted, "worldwide violence against journalists has worsened and there has been a particular increase in murders and imprisonment arising from conflict situations."
A "UN Plan of Action" report released earlier this year noted a "staggering number of journalists and media workers killed while performing their professional duties." It also noted that in 9 out of 10 cases, their killers were never prosecuted.

I am curious what is the precise math reasoning behind this:
$$ \sup \{ a_i^T u | \lVert u\rVert_2 \leq r \} = r \lVert a_i \rVert_2$$
It is on page 148, last line, of Boyd's Convex Optimization text.
I realize the statement is saying: the supremum of a dot b is equal to the length of a times the maximum length of b, but I was wondering if there was any other way to explain the reasoning.
Thank you all.

Betty Joan Perske, from greater New York City was born September 16, 1924, she died four time Oscar winning sultry screen siren Lauren Bacall,on August 12, 2014, at the age of 89 after suffering a massive stroke,according to her grandson.
In front of the backdrop of World War II, in 1944 with her first film, at age 19. Lauren Bacall, who rose to fame in the 1940s when she sensually uttered the questionable line,to her male co-star..."You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You do know how to whistle,don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow." Humphrey Bogart was..Steve.. her lover and soon to be husband in that movie,"To Have and Have Not."
It was Bogie and Bacall all the way after they got married , The two wed on May 21, 1945, on a friend's farm in Ohio. After they exchanged vows, a choked-up Bogie greeted his new wife: "Hello, Baby." The edgy couple who could go ten rounds and make up together like nobody else. They professionally went on to make more films together, including "The Big Sleep"in 1946, "Dark Passage"in 1947 and "Key Largo" in 1948. In their 12 years together the couple had two kids: son Stephen, in 1949, and daughter Leslie, in 1952. Four years later,Bogart contracted esophageal cancer and died in 1957.
Lauren Bacall gained professional acclaids in 1957 in the musical comedy "How to Marry a Millionaire" with Marilyn Monroe. Her career continued to be sucessfull in films such as A Woman's World, Murder on the Orient Express, The Fan, The Portrait .
Her later career had it's up's and down's and had it's share of frustration. The star did get a Golden Globe and an honorary Oscar and appeared in scores of film and TV productions. But not until 1996 did she end her dry spell of no wins. When she received an Academy Award nomination as supporting actress for her role as Barbra Streisand's mother in "The Mirror Has Two Faces."
For her stage work Lauren Bacall won Tonys in the 70's for the Broadway musicals "Applause" and "Woman of the Year,"
At the end, Lauren Bacall admits, Bogart was the love of her life. "What it felt like to be so wanted, so adored!" she wrote of him in her autobiography. "No one had ever felt like that about me. It was all so dramatic, too. Yes in the end Bogart was the love of her life.
Always in the wee small hours when it seemed to Bogie and me that the world was ours that we were the world. At those times, we were."
And as Fan's if we want proof of that, "We don't have to say anything, and really don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe...whistle, at your spouse for your tv remote and get...Bogie & Bacall... on Demand!
Lauren Bacall says she kept playing the game, and won....
Actress Lauren Bacall may you R*I*P!

TC TO JAMES JOHNSTON; 8 January 1819; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18190108-TC-JJ-01; CL 1:155-159.
Edinr, 8th January 1819—
My dear Johnston,
Before my departure from Kirkcaldy I had commenced a letter intended for your perusal: but avocations, necessary or not, interrupted me; and the twenty-fifth of November found it still unfinished. Since that period I have crossed the frith, and undergone, with murmuring not loud but deep, the manifold vexations to which a life such as mine is liable. I might have written to you, some months ago; but my daily intention has been frustrated by those innumerable trifles which cramp the movements of indolent men—those trifles which of late, during many weeks, deprived me of the pleasure of hearing from yourself. However ridiculous it may appear, I cannot help regretting yet again, that we should write so seldom. To a man who has few friends, and most people have fewer than they suspect, real sympathy is doubly valuable. Amid the buffettings of fortune, a letter from a true friend is like an oasis in the desart of selfishness wherewith this Earth is filled. Why then, I ask it with some anger against us both, why should we write to one another so very seldom?
I am grieved to observe your embryo resolution of going to America.1 It is always a mournful thing to leave our country; to a man of sensibility & reflection it is dreadful. I speak not of that feeling which must freeze the soul of an emigrant, when, landing on the quay of Boston or New York, he reflects that the wide Atlantic is roaring between him and every heart that cares for his fate. But to snap asunder, for ever, the associations that bind us to our native soil; to forget the Hampdens, the Sydneys, the Lockes, the Stewarts the Burnses,—or to remember them only as men of a foreign land; to change our ideas of human excellence; to have our principles our prejudices supplanted; to endure the rubs which hard unkindness will have in store for us; to throw aside old friendships, and with a seared heart to seek for new ones—all this is terrible. And after all what would you do there? To teach is misery in the old world or the new: and perhaps (if it must be so) England is as fair a field for it as the Union. I entreat you, my dear friend, to lay aside this enterprise—at least for the present. I look upon emigration as a fearful destiny— Not more fearful, I grant, than others that might be imagined; than such failure, for instance, as might call forth the pity of those who love us (I was about to add—and the triumph of those who hate us: but it is a paltry sentiment to care for that;—if it exist within me I would wish to hide it both from you & myself); but thank Heaven things are not yet come to this. Consider the talents you possess—the classical, scientific, historical—above all the agricultural knowledge, which you have acquired; look around you; continue to improve your mind in patience, and do not yet imagine that, in our own country, the gates of preferment are shut against you. It will give satisfaction to me, and perhaps some relief to your own mind, to have your situation and views distinctly explained in your next letter. Write to me without reserve—as to one who can be indifferent to nothing which concerns you.
It is superfluous to say that I have bid farewell to Fife. My resolution was taken without advice, because none was to be had; but not without long & serious meditation. I could not leave Kirkcaldy but with regret. There are in it many persons of a respectable—several of an exemplary character; and had the tie which united us been of a less irritating nature, my time might have been spent very happily among them. At present my prospects are as dim, and my feelings of course nearly as uncomfortable, as they have been at any period of my life. About the end of 1816, I remember informing you, that, in the space of two years, my views of human life had considerably altered. A similar period has again elapsed, and brought with it a change less marked indeed, but not less real. Till not very long ago, I imagined my whole duty to consist in thinking and enduring. It now appears that I ought not only to suffer but to act. Connected with mankind by sympathies & wants which experience never ceases to reveal—I now begin to perceive that it is impossible to attain the Solitary happiness of the Stoic—and hurtful if it were possible— How far the creed of Epictetus2 may require to be modified, it is not easy to determine; that [it] is defective seems pretty evident. I quit the stubborn dogma, with a regret heightened almost to remorse; and feel it to be a desire rather than a duty to mingle in the busy current which is flowing past me, and to act my part before the not distant day arrive, when they who seek me shall not find me.3 What part I shall act is still a mystery. The four hours of private teaching, which I mentioned to Mitchell, diminished in a day to two, and altogether ceased a fortnight ago. At present I am giving lessons in Geometry, one hour per day, to Mr Saumarez, an old gentleman of Guernsey, whose disbelief in Newton, against whom he has written a book, together with his admirable notions about light & pressure, might amuse me, if I were in a more joyful humour. A competent quantity of hours (such is the cant phrase) might, I have not much doubt, be procured, if the usual measures were adopted;—but it will hardly do.— Several weeks ago, I received Mr Duncan's introductory letters—a favour which I reckon among the few acts of disinterested kindness that have been conferred upon me in this world. You will believe that the delivery of them was a new scene for me. I went through it however with great sang froid. Frank Dixon says the procedure in these cases is quite regular. You are received with a bow—the weather is discussed, and the merits of the last review—then you retire; sometime after which you are invited to breakfast, and here the acquaintance terminates. I received a polite reception from all my new friends. Dr Brewster is the only one whom I have seen a second time. He has very much the air of a kind man.— Would I had some employment! My mind lies toward the law; but much capital is requisite for obtaining a gown, and many years are often spent in waiting for employment— Yet it is a fair field with no favour, and were it not for the first objection I would attempt it instantly. Some weeks ago I met Professor Leslie on the street; and after discussing the hard fate which his curves of the second order were undergoing from the blockhead of an engraver—'upon the whole' said the philosopher 'the best plan for you seems to be to learn the engineer business, and go to America. Great business there—large fortunes made— Swiss gentleman went lately—great encourag[e]ment— I must have you introduced to Jardine.'— I have already hinted what I think of Amer[ica.] Authorship also is in my eye: but the road to subsistense, I do not mention fame, in that direction is not very clear. Waugh and Innes' review4 is before the public. It would be rash i[n] me to decide upon its merits—especially before reading it attentively[.] The slight look which I gave it did not certainly, any more than the prospectus, impress me with a lofty idea of the brethren's energy. But time will try.
With regard to reading, you would think I have enough of time upon my hands at present: yet the truth is, I have often read more, almost never studied less! I have no enthusiasm—cui bono? I always ask myself. It would be irksome, & impossible, in this state of my sheet, to criticise the elegant and ingenious rather than powerful or philosophic narrative which Horace Benédict Saussure gives of his journeys in the Alps. I am in the third quarto— Nor shall I speak about Biot's traité de physique5 of which, to tell the truth, I have scarcely read 100 pages. There is also Madame de Staël on the French revolution—first volume only finished—remarks (if any) in the next letter. There is Jameson6 with his most crude theories—his orders Mammalia, Digitala & fencibles of gli[illegible]rac & bruta with [chi]sel-shaped foreteeth & & grieves me every day.
I long to hear your news. What are you doing? Is Miss Harper returned from Galloway— Have you seen Mrs Lawson— Is the Ecclefechan library set agoing—and twenty other questions of equal importance, I should be glad to have answered. Make my best respects (those of the season if not too late) to Mr & Mrs Church—not forgetting my two trusty fellow-travellers James & Duncan—whose progress to Goorse-mir [underscored twice] (Grassmere) thro E[a]sdale & Sour Milk Gills is not yet I suppose at all forgotten— Write soon as possible to one who hopes always [to] subscribe himself,
Your's faithful friend /
Thomas Carlyle—
P.S. I forgot to say (what was indeed of no consequence) that I spent, along with Irving, the Christmas holidays in Fife. They were the happiest, for many reasons which I cannot at this time explain,7 that for a long space have marked the tenor of my life—

SFL Data and Clearwell Partner to Provide A Client with Efficient eDiscovery Services
San Francisco, Calif. — SFL Data, a leading electronic discovery solutions provider for corporations, government agencies and law firms, has partnered with Clearwell Systems to provide the client with efficient eDiscovery services. A case study detailing the challenge, solution and benefits is available here. Highlights of the case study are summarized below.
Challenge: Managing eDiscovery in-house requires hiring specialized employees to support peak litigation volume and retaining those employees even when litigation volume subsides. In addition, to host the data needed for in-house eDiscovery, an IT department must dedicate physical infrastructure isolated on its own network.
Solution: The client chose SFL Data's Managed Services Solution leveraging Clearwell's Enterprise-Class eDiscovery Software Platform. The client selected SFL Data to deliver end-to-end litigation support services based on its consultative, metrics-driven approach. The client also recognized Clearwell as the
leader in early case assessment (ECA) and wanted to leverage those ECA capabilities to inform case strategy and decisions.
Benefit: The client is realizing significant savings in eDiscovery costs. By using a third party, the client is able to easily keep its litigation data isolated and mitigate risk. SFL Data's Managed Services Solution also allows the client to avoid the internal costs of maintenance and support of eDiscovery cases and data, including the burden on internal IT By using Clearwell's Enterprise-Class eDiscovery Software Platform, the client has gained the ability to perform case assessments much earlier in the eDiscovery process. And as SFL Data has extensive experience with Clearwell, the client benefits from an established process designed to build efficiency and defensibility across the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) phases in which Clearwell is used.
About SFL Data
Founded in 1998, SFL Data is one of the leading and fastest-growing providers of electronic discovery solutions to both law firms and corporations nationwide. With a highly consultative approach and a suite of advanced technologies, the company enables its clients to achieve significant cost and process efficiencies compared with competing alternatives.

Nope, no resolutions for me.
Tuesday, January 01, 2013
Nope, no New Year's resolutions for me.
I know...
But it's ok. Hear me out. To me, New Year's resolutions are more something I'm resolving to do for the next year. Whatever those resolutions may be, it feels to me that it's more something I aim to do JUST for the next year. That's not how I want my resolutions to be. I want my reolutions to last a lifetime, not a single year.
Make sense?
But - I am working on some goals for the next year. I'm taking my time, though, because one of those goals is to reevaluate where I am occassionally, and rework my plan accordingly. We all know we fall off the bandwagon sometimes, and sometimes we surprise ourselves with how far we get and how quickly. Also, having lupus, I never know how a particular day is going to be. Reevaluating more often will be beneficial in seeing how I am currently doing, and work my plan accordingly. Sometimes I may need to take a step back, others I'll be able to take a step forward. That's ok with me, as long as I stay on track to a healthier me.
I'm thinking a monthly re-eval will be workable. So, for this month, I'm keeping it simple with eating a little cleaner (meaning, for me, more homemade, less processed, and some organics), working with what's in the fridge/freezer first, and getting off my booty more - including working out at work.
Also, this year I want to post more of the meals I am eating. Not only to work on my photography (lack of) skills, but also for some more accountability.
So, here's the first one! This is a dish I made a couple of weeks ago. It's salmon, cooked on a wood plank with a glaze, roasted garlic squash, and my first try of quinoa with a little brown rice mixed in. It was a big hit!
(See what I mean about lack of skills? Haha!)
So, a few blogs ago, I posted some reasons to keep my butt moving. A few people suggested printing out that list for reminders for me. So, I did! And I taped one to my desk at work, and it often gets me up to do a few lunges, or take a walk at break. Love it!
Happy New Year's everyone!

No resolutions for me either! I love the idea of photographing a meal...I might do that some. Usually, the prettier/more colorful the plate of food - the healthier it is!

I've never been big on making New Year's resolutions, however I love the idea of setting realistic, achievable goals. When I first started goal-setting, it was monthly. At some points, I set daily goals for myself which specifically reflected the challenges I was going to face for that day. It's all about what you need to do for yourself at a particular time. I like the food photos idea also. That dinner looks delicious, regardless of your photography skills.

I think not having new year's resolutions is fine if that is what works for you. It's great that you want to incorporate these changes for life, and not just for the new year. Either way, the few goals that you mentioned are great ways to get you working on leading a healthier lifestyle. I may also try to post more food photos- it's a great way to stay accountable with your meals! Happy new year!

We're obsessed with finding the best mascara and we think we def found one of 'em! The Volume Express Falsies Mascara ($7) creates more visible lashes because it fills in the gaps. The unique flexible wand helps to lift and separate lashes. And it builds 8 times more volume without clumping. Ummm we think we're in love!
This really is a great product. I've always favored Maybelline's mascaras, even over luxury brands, and this one does not disappoint!
I bought this mascara over a month ago on a whim and haven't tried it.
Does it smudge? Pretty much all mascaras smudge on me except CoverGirl Lash Blast Fusion.
I haven't found that it smudges unless my eyes get wet, but I rarely have smudging issues. It doesn't flake off, either.
I tried the waterproof version of this product after I couldn't find XXL waterproof in the light blue tube any more (did they discontinue that? I can't find it anywhere!). I really hated the waterproof 'Falsies' mascara. It clumps and does not wash off easily, even with eye make-up remover. It sticks so much that my eyelashes stick to my eyelash curler the next day. I threw it away after 3 uses.

Australian Stock Index Near Important Resistance
Tom Pizzuti and Kurt Hulse
A downward move is due soon.
After having looked at the
Australian dollar
recently, it makes sense to consider the Australian stock market as well. The
(INDEXASX:XJO) is comprised of the top 200 shares in the Australian Securities Exchange. Thus, it is more narrow than the often-quoted All Ordinaries index.
On the monthly time frame, two cycles can be extracted from price data, with lengths of 80 weeks and 40 weeks. This spring, both of those cycles are poised to begin a downward phase. Based on cycles alone, we would expect weakness to extend into 2016 or 2017. The shaded areas on the monthly chart below show previous times when both cycles have converged in their downward phases.
Besides the presence of a cyclical high, price also is retracing into a target range of 5,422 to 5,670, based on Fibonacci retracement values of the big decline from 2007 to 2009, and also based on a 1x1 extension measurement up off the 2009 low.
At the very least, traders with long positions should consider taking profits. A shorting opportunity may be forming here, but the relevant entry signals depend on the individual trader's approach and risk tolerance. Aggressive traders might make an offer near one of the resistance levels shown. More conservative swing traders would wait for a lower high to form on the weekly time frame, and they would use the prior high as a guide for setting stops.

Travel Without Students
The Education Abroad Office (EAO) staff is thrilled whenever UNL faculty and staff have the opportunity to teach, attend a conference, conduct research, visit colleagues, and pursue other types of international engagement. However, the EAO does not offer travel services to individual UNL faculty or staff members traveling without students. We are a small, student-centered office and we have committed our time and resources to helping students meet their education abroad goals.
We understand that there are many logistical hurdles to traveling and living abroad. Common concerns are related to visa applications and international insurance. We invite you to utilize the web resources we have designed for students, and to consider these recommendations:
- For visa application questions and processing, the EAO recommends that UNL faculty and staff work with a visa processing specialist or travel agent. In addition, your host in the country you plan to visit may be able to provide you with an official letter of invitation and other visa advice.
- On February 1, 2015, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln secured blanket international travel coverage for all faculty and staff who travel outside the country on UNL business with the correct visa. Faculty and staff no longer need to purchase this insurance individually. See details at the UNL Travel Services Medical Evacuation Coverage page.
Note: UNL students are not eligible for the faculty/staff policy, even if traveling for business purposes. All undergraduate and graduate students traveling in association with UNL must work with the Education Abroad Office to enroll in the HTH Worldwide Blanket Accident and Sickness Insurance policy. The only individuals eligible to enroll under the HTH policy are education abroad students and other approved participants.
Independent Study or Research Abroad
If you are advising or teaching undergraduate or graduate students who plan to engage in an independent study or research abroad, direct them to the Education Abroad Office.

According to Thursday's Copenhagen Post, a baby giraffe died on Easter Sunday at the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark.
The giraffe was just a few days old - the calf was born last Thursday, and prior to the mysterious death, there were few signs that something was amiss.
The zoo took to Facebook to announce the tragic news, stating (Translated):
Giraffe Cub, which was born last Thursday, did unfortunately only the weekend over and died yesterday. Animal pass and veterinarians observed pup yesterday, where it lay down a large part of the day without taking food for themselves. the giraffe was necropsied today, and there were no signs of infection or heart problems. Zoo veterinarians has sent tissue samples to study and get the results in about two weeks.

Patterson Reacts to Ogden Shooting
by Ashley Hayes, CNN
(CNN) -- Utah law enforcement officers mourned one of their own Thursday after a shooting left one officer dead and five others wounded.
The Wednesday night incident took place when they were attempting to serve a search warrant.
The six officers and the suspect were rushed to hospitals, Ogden Assistant Police Chief Marcy Korgenski said.
Officer Jared Francom died from his wounds, Ogden police said early Thursday.
"Agent Francom has served the citizens of Ogden city with honor for seven years," authorities said in a statement.
Francom is survived by his wife and two young children, the statement said.
The suspect, identified as Matthew David Stewart, 37, suffered injuries not considered to be life-threatening, authorities said.
The wounded officers were identified as Sgt. Nate Hutchinson with the Weber County Sheriff's Office; and Jason Vanderwarf, Shawn Grogan, Kasey Burrell and Michael Rounkles. CNN affiliate KSL said Vanderwarf is with the Roy police and Grogan, Burrell and Rounkles are Ogden officers.
Ogden Regional Medical Center said Thursday that Vanderwarf was treated and released.
The four other officers remained in Ogden's McKay-Dee Hospital, spokesman Chris Dallin said. Three were in critical condition, and one was in stable condition, Dallin said.
Several officials fought tears as they discussed the incident at a news conference
"This is a family. This is a law enforcement family," Ogden Police Chief Wayne Tarwater said. "The law enforcement community is mourning."
"We have lost a brother," Weber County Sheriff Terry Thompson said. "We will grieve this loss" with the knowledge that Francom gave his life for his fellow officers and the community, he said.
The officers, part of a multi-agency narcotics task force, were attempting to serve a search warrant "based on probable cause there was drug activity" at an address in Ogden, Tarwater said. He would not elaborate.
The warrant was a "knock-and-announce," meaning that officers knock on a residence's door and announce their presence, he said. If no one answers, "under certain circumstances, they will go ahead and enter the home. That's exactly what happened." When they entered the home, the officers came under fire, he said.
The task force requires officers to wear bulletproof vests, he said, and "as far as I know, the officers were wearing vests and protective gear."
Stewart has a "limited criminal history," Tarwater said. He did not have specifics but said he believed Stewart's record was mostly misdemeanors.
Asked about reports that as many as 12 officers were sent to the home, strike force commander Lt. Darin Parke told reporters that number is not unusual. There was "not really a great deal that set this investigation apart ... other than the outcome," he said.
The shooting will be subject to an internal investigation as well as an external review by the Weber County attorney, he said. Citing those investigations, police limited the release of information.
Tarwater thanked the state of Utah, particularly police agencies, for their support. He said that at one point, at an Ogden hospital Wednesday night, there were "40 officers from probably seven different agencies."
Gov. Gary Herbert met with families of the officers and said funds were set up for their future needs. "Our hearts go out to them," he told reporters at one of the hospitals.
Herbert ordered that state and U.S. flags be lowered in the city of Ogden to honor the officers, Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell said.
Thursday was Caldwell's first day on the job.
Ogden is about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City in northern Utah.
Clayton Payne, a resident of the neighborhood where the shootings took place, told KSL, "I was sitting in the front room watching TV, heard three pops. My fiance asked if they were fireworks. I said, 'No, those are gunshots.' "
He said he ran outside after hearing what sounded like an AK-47.
"I ran out here to see what was going on, and I was escorted back to my house by the cops," he said. "They said, 'Get in your house. Get down.'"
The shootings follow a year in which U.S. cities saw an increase in officers killed.
The number of officers who died in the line of duty in 2011 increased 16% nationwide from last year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
Last year, 177 officers were killed, compared with 153 in 2010, the organization said.
Meanwhile in Casper, City Manager John Patterson reacted to the shootings in his former home. For nine years he was a city administrator in Ogden and worked with some of the officers involved in the shooting. "[The deceased officer] is a young man that I knew; he's the age of my children." said Patterson. "It's just tragic."

Utahns frustrated by federal government shutdown
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Tuesday's shutdown of the federal government won't be the first that Randy Austin has weathered in his 40 years as the owner of a tourist-oriented business just outside Capitol Reef National Park.
"It was very irritating then and it's irritating now," Austin, owner of Austin's Chuckwagon general store and lodge in Torrey, said Monday, hours before Congress failed to reach agreement on a budget bill needed to keep the government operating.
The result of an impasse over attempts to stall President Barack Obama's signature health care law, the indeterminate shutdown will have a significant impact in Utah, including closing the state's five national parks.
Gov. Gary Herbert's office estimates as many as 40,000 federal employees, primarily civilians at Hill Air Force Base and workers at the Ogden Internal Revenue Service center, face unpaid furloughs, along with about 192 of the 256 Utah National Guard employees.
Also expected to be furloughed are 270 local health department employees and 16 employees who administer the federal Women, Infant and Children nutritional program serving some 65,000 Utahns. That program is expected to be suspended in a week.
Kristen Cox, executive director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, said after spending the day reviewing the impact of a shutdown and briefing the governor, there is concern about the economic repercussions of a shutdown.
"But overall, when you look at the magnitude of the programs that the state administers, both on behalf of the state and the federal government, there's just very few programs initially — initially is the key word — that will be impacted," Cox said.
While there's no estimate yet of the shutdown's financial drain on the state's economy, the costs will climb quickly if funding for federal government operations is not restored soon.
Just keeping the national parks closed through October could mean a $1 billion hit to the state's economy, said Juliette Tennent, deputy director and chief economist of the management and budget office.
Austin recalled having to struggle when the park closed in the 1970s and his late wife was furloughed from her National Park Service job for weeks during a similar budget dispute in Congress.
"At the time business was real slow and we had three little kids, and she wasn't getting her check," he recalled. This time around, Austin said, the shuttering of the park that attracts visitors from around the world may hit even harder.
"This is our peak season right now with the leaves turning," he said, what should have been an opportunity to make up for business lost during an unusually wet summer. "This is just icing on the cake."
Austin, who is relying on the nation's new Affordable Care Act to provide him with insurance after losing a leg after an accident earlier this year, said Congress is "acting like a bunch of little kids. If it was up to me, I would put them in 'timeout.'"
Torrey Mayor Adus Dorsey said the tiny central Utah town is already feeling the effects of the partisan battle raging in Washington, D.C., because the local economy is so dependent on tourism
"Anything that happens down in the park affects us. Certainly, we've had some cancellations, people who are unsure about what's going to happen so they're just making other plans," Dorsey said. "It impacts the whole community."
The same is true in Springdale, the southern Utah town just outside Zion National Park.

|U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy
I support the efforts of the FoodSpeak Coalition to preserve the First Amendment rights of Americans to debate fully and openly the safety and healthfulness of the foods we eat.
I have had some experience with commenting and acting on food safety policy. In 1987, I raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of the U.S. Department of Agricultures (USDA) meat and poultry inspection system, which was then mostly based on the visual inspection of meat products zooming down an assembly line. USDA used my recommendations as the basis for a system to help safeguard against microbiological hazards on meat and poultry. Two years later, in 1989, I introduced major legislation to require a comprehensive fish inspection program to assure the safety of the fish products that Americans consume. I introduced that bill because of my concerns over the contamination of fish products with heavy metals and pesticides. In 1990, I fought to keep food products sprayed with pesticides banned in the United States from being imported back into this country. This "Circle of Poison" threatens the health and safety of our children.
Some states permit lawsuits against those who question the safety of our food supply. It is my view that under the First Amendment, Americans possess the right to raise safety and health concerns about the foods we eat, such as the levels of mercury in our fish or the levels of pesticides in imported foods. State laws that permit lawsuits against those who question the safety of foods can have a chilling effect on public health discourse. That is not the American way --healthy debate on issues of public concern is how this country does business.
The FoodSpeak Coalition highlights the chilling effect that these laws have on the exercise of free speech. Defamation laws should not intimidate citizens and the press who want to speak out about food safety.
Americans in all states must be allowed to openly debate issues of public health. For example, one of the pioneers of the movement toward healthier eating --Adelle Davis --raised many food safety and health issues based on her own research. Her views were not accepted by the scientific community at the time. Now the weight of medical evidence --including former Surgeon General Koops Report on Nutrition and Health -- has vindicated her views.
The First Amendment should protect full and open debate for all Americans, not simply for those who can afford expensive attorneys.

nice small apartment that has everything you need for a city break. Good location as it is located close to the train station and only a few minutes walk from the nearest tram station. Not so perfect was the key collection. This took place in a central location, the landlord and this was too far away for us from the apartment.
nettes kleines Apartement, das alles hat, was man für einen Städtetrip braucht. Gute Lage, da es nah am Bahnhof und auch nur ein paar Gehminuten von der nächsten Straßenbahn-Station entfernt ist. Nicht so optimal war die Schlüsselübergabe. Diese fand in einer zentralen Stelle der Vermieter statt und diese war für uns zu weit vom Apartement entfernt.
We would certainly have appreciated more if the apartment was better equipped, it lacked a lot of things, pans, dish towels, corkscrew and wine glasses and so on. In addition, the cleanliness was poor. We booked two other apartments of the same owner at the same time and they had to be canceled because he had not made his update on Windu, a small organization and improvement is needed!
Nous aurions certainement plus apprécié cet appartement s'il avait été mieux équipé, il y manquait énormément de choses, casseroles, linge à vaisselle, tire-bouchon et verres à vin et j'en passe. De plus, la propreté laissait à désirer. Nous avions réservé 2 autres appartements du meme propriétaire au meme moment et ils ont dû être annulés du fait qu'il n'avait pas fait sa mise à jour sur Windu, Une petite organisation et de l'amélioration s'imposent!
The apartment is brilliantly located in a very nice area to go out with very good facilities. With many green oases in the vicinity. Unfortunately, it was not very clean. (Dirty dishes and thick clouds of dust). But this set up quite nicely
Das Apartment ist super gelegen in einem sehr schönen Stadtteil mit sehr guten Gelegenheiten auszugehen. Mit vielen grünen Oasen in der Nähe.
Leider war es nicht gerade sehr sauber. (Geschirr schmutzig und dicke Staubwolken). Dafür aber recht hübsch eingerichtet
Very good location for sightseeing. Apartment. Too bad there is no coffee or tea, and other utensils for a rental basis. A small problem with the relationship with the agency. We chose the transfer proposed by the agency, the person was very late and the start we had to take a taxi because it did not come on time (not serious), especially that the agency had our mobile number because we had called 2 times. At the 3rd recovery agency was closed. If I'm booking again I would be more vigilant.
Très bon emplacement pour les visites. Bel appartement. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de cafetière, ni théière, et autres ustensiles de bases pour une location. Un petit bémol avec la relation avec l'agence. Nous avions choisi le transfert proposé par l'agence, la personne était très en retard et pour le départ nous avons été obligé de prendre un taxi car il n'est pas venu à l'heure dite (ce n'est pas sérieux) surtout que l'agence avait notre n° de portable car nous les avions appelé à 2 reprises. A la 3 ème reprise l'agence était fermée. Si je dois réserver à nouveau je serais plus vigilante.
Wonderful house, ten minutes walk from the city center by metro less than two minutes, excellent quiet for girls, I always recommend a taxi at night!! Thank you so much for everything!! Hi anna!!
Splendida casa, a dieci minuti dal centro a piedi con la metro nemmeno due minuti , ottima zona tranquilla per ragazze, consiglio sempre il taxi di notte!!!! Grazie mille per tutto !!!!! Hi anna!!!!!
It was realy nice
Everything worked out well with organisation. Flat is located quite central in Zizkov (Supermarket is also next door) and you can even walk into the city center. Flat is nice and equipped with everything you need. The only drawback is the bed which is just not very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay in the house. It was definitely worth the price. It's a little far from the city, but the metro can be reached on foot in 15-20 minutes, and it's about a 15-minute ride into the city.
What we were particularly happy about: The young man in the agency was very friendly and helpful and provided us with maps and all the information we needed; the beds are comfortable; one of the bedrooms has a large en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, there is another bathroom with a shower, and a toilet on the ground floor. The house was generally very clean, the rooms were sparsely furnished but pleasant, and the location was very nice and quiet. The free wi-fi worked without any problems and was a big plus, as was the separate garage.
There were a few things we weren't quite as satisfied with, though: There is no coffee maker, which a fully equipped vacation rental should definitely have, and no dishwasher (which is less of a necessity); there is no living room; we mostly hung out at the dining room table, but a living room with a sofa would have been nicer; it would also have been nice to have nightstands and lamps by the beds so you don't have to get up to turn off the light. The supermarket is near the metro, so also about a 15- to 20-minute walk from the house. We had a problem with the heating on the first day and no hot water on the third, but both of these issues were taken care of promptly once we reported them. Also, be sure to bring your own dish towels.
Overall, we were satisfied with the house and would consider staying there again if we should visit the city in the future.
Very nice hosts! Unproblematic keys, hosts were ready to answer all of our questions and give good insider tips. Most attractions are within walking distance from the apartment, and there are just outside the door tram stop. Have very much enjoyed our stay and will recommend the apartment to fall further!
Sehr nette Gastgeber! Unproblematisches Schlüsselübergabe, Gastgeber waren bereit auch alle unsere Fragen zu beantworten und gute InsiderTipps zu geben. Meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß von der Wohnung erreichbar, außerdem gibt es direkt vor der Tür Tramhaltestelle. Haben unseres Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden die Wohnung auf jeden fall weiter empfehlen!
Uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. Four instead of five stars because we did not get the booked apartment because according to statements of the Office of the boiler had been canceled at short notice. Alternative apartment was comparable. Office is to recommend! Thank you very much
Unkompliziert, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vier statt fünf Sterne, da wir nicht das gebuchte Apartement bekommen haben weil laut Aussage des Office der Boiler kurzfristig ausgefallen war. Ausweichapartement war vergleichbar. Office ist weiter zu empfehlen!!! Vielen Dank

Today was ok, but I'm kinda bored, a little upset, etc.
First of all, it was a "B"-day, so I was supposed to be chill, but not really. What irritates me is when I want to write about it I feel lazy. But whatever; We finished "Crimson Tide" in ROTC. It was a good movie, but the stuff that happened in it seemed dumb to me. I understand what was going on, it's just that I didin't like the conflict in it, it made little sense to me.
It's hard to explain what I mean without taking clips from the movie, but I am officially shooting the subject.
Biology, I felt dead inside...Gym, I felt tortured at how 5 dumbasses make us all do punishment runs. I just want to beat someone three feet under. I can't believe how stupid people are nowadays. That class just makes me so hostile, I've had quite a temper lately.
Also, progress reports came in today. The grades were two weeks old, and I did a bit better than I thought. I thought I was failing Geometry, English, and History...Turns out I had a "B" in both Geometry and English, and the worst grade I got was a 74 in History. Still, these grades are only two weeks old.
I had...4 As, 3 Bs and a C; but I was upset since I had an 89 in French. That's the one class tha I had total confidence in that I was passing. Screw it all, it's only a progress report. Whatever.
Our game today was cancelled, so instead we had practice. It got warmer, but it was still pretty cold; Nevertheless, my tolerance overcame it. We have a game tommorow, and I'm going to the doctor's right after school, then my Aunt is gonna drive me to the game.
I'm so full of lethar right now.
Anyways, I'll be on here for a while tonight.
Love y'all.
And in 40 mins, good night.
