Planned Discoveries for Creative Kids/
Daisy Yellow is a blog about adding creativity to your life in small ways every day. So remember to include your kids in those creative tangents.

Often when you ask a kid whether they want to "play spies" or "clean toys" they'll say no. But when they stumble upon a scene of things that just-might-possibly-go-together, their minds start churning with possibilities. When my kids were little, I'd leave "scenes to stumble upon" or "groupings" of objects on tables or the floor, with an idea in mind (i.e. spy ware: pretend to be a spy or detective) but didn't mention the grouping, my idea or intention. The key was to let them find these treasures on their own and let them create whatever they wished from the components.
Planned discoveries.
These are kid magnets. Try placing a few "discoveries" around your house, under the dining room table, on trays or side tables or even beds.
You are the ultimate judge of safety so select things that make sense for your kids' ages/capabilities. {beware of choking hazards}:
- <spy ware> old cell phone, blank notebook, pen, sunglasses, old keys, stick-notes, flash light, hat, binoculars, calculator, magnifying glass
- <cleaning toys> plastic toys, bowl of soapy water (use baby shampoo), spray bottle of soapy water, old toothbrush, sponge, cotton balls, little towels to dry the toys {good for the back porch}
- <make a city> tiny cardboard boxes (i.e. from makeup or soap packaging), tiny plastic boxes, matchbox cars, huge piece of cardboard with a wide curvy road drawn on it, markers, stickers
- <classification> empty egg carton, a variety of pasta shapes or beads in plastic cups
- <vet's office> 6 stuffed animals, anything that looks like doctor gear, small chairs, a box of band aids, blank notebook on clip-board, pen, clock, old telephone, stool, calculator, pretend cash register, old computer keyboard, chalk board or white board, scarves, little blankets, little notebooks to write "prescriptions," pillows, aprons or old oxford shirts to wear {a favorite}
- <still life art> set up a scene on a placemat with a variety of simple shapes (i.e. a vase, pretty box, a pear), a blank drawing pad, colored pencils or watercolors
- <stamp art> huge piece of butcher paper or postal paper taped to a table, stamps, ink pads, baby wipes {you can use this as gift wrapping paper}
- <restaurant> plastic dishes or tea set, play dough, measuring spoons, slotted spoons, kitchen gadgets, lined notebook, markers, sand timer, aprons, serving trays
- <rock band> metal pots to bang, wooden spoons, whistles, harmonica, dry pasta in a plastic container to shake, sheet music clipped to cardboard {to pretend to read}
- <puzzle chaos> 5 different wooden jigsaw puzzles, all of the puzzle pieces in one big pile, a few pieces put back in the puzzles
- <ball collection> take the pillows off the couch, place plastic containers, halloween candy buckets, buckets, baskets on the couch. next to the couch, a box or small and medium sized soft balls to throw into the baskets from a chair across from the couch
- <doll city> with a sharpie, draw a pretend road on a huge piece of posterboard (get it at a craft store), add empty doll houses, open and facing the road, basket of dolls, basket of doll furniture, large legos to build more stuff for the city
- <roads> wooden blocks or large legos constructed in two lines (to form a path), or in mazes, basket of matchbox cars or little dolls to carry or drive through the maze
- <animal land> neatly line the walls of a small hallway with a huge number of stuffed animals, or lean them along the front or back of a large couch. the kids are often surprised to see their animals in a new place. they might put them in rainbow order, have a lunch date with them, or categorize by type of animal
- <tea party> at the dining room table, set the table with a plastic tea party set, placemats, plastic place settings, stuffed animals in each seat
- <toilet paper bowling> in a hallway, stack a bunch of toilet paper rolls built into pyramids, bucket of big rubber balls a few feet away {perfect for the day you go to the store and get t.p.}
- <scientist> a magnifying glass, prism, flashlight, notebook + pencil, tiny stones, leaves, flowers, petals, gem stones, acorns, monopoly houses, dice, each on little plastic dish or all on a big tray as if a science project is underway
- <library> a stack of kid books in a basket. index cards with book names on each card, a date stamp, old calendar, removable tape, cloth grocery bags, old computer keyboard {even pre-readers like this one}
- <gift wrap> a box of rubber stamps, stamping ink pads, and a table covered with butcher block paper or postal paper (brown or white non-glossy paper sold in large rolls). {the result will be gift wrap!}
The key is not to mention the scenes you've set up, and you can set up more than one!
If your kids ask what the group of things is for, or whether they can use them, you could just mention a few possibiliies for the things but not push them to play. Their curiosity will be the guide.
Now that my daughters are 10 and 12, and I look back on all of the little scenes I used to set up... I can definitely say that engaging kids in creative endeavors is a very, very good thing. I wish more moms would take a deep breath {in their busy and over-scheduled days} and envision the world from their children's perspective. I wish more moms of young children would try to redirect behaviour instead of jumping immediately to punishment and yelling. I adamantly believe in focusing on positive reinforcement, redirection and distraction rather than negative punishment. I learned that up-front, proactive stuff could make the difference between a good and a bad day for everyone.
So take a deep breath and plan ahead for tomorrow's wonder.

As I write this, we still do now know who paid a record price - somewhere between $30 and $40 million -- to buy what is now the world's most expensive classic car, the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic formerly owned by the Williamson Family and Trust.
As the "official broker" for the sale, all Gooding & Company has reported is that it has "found a devoted connoisseur who will become the guardian of this treasured piece of automotive history."
Treasured, indeed! Only three such cars, based on the Bugatti Aerolithe Electron Coupe displayed at the 1935 Paris Auto Salon, were built. Of the three cars, only two survive (the other collided with a train). One of the survivors is owned by fashion designer Ralph Lauren. The other was owned by neurologist and epilepsy specialist Dr. Peter Williamson, who died in 2008.
Williamson purchased his car in 1971 for a then-record price of $59,000. After restoration, his car was judged best-in-show at the famed Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2003.
It was widely reported that the Williamson car was purchased by the new Mullin Automotive Museum in California, but the museum said emphatically that it was not the buyer, although it remains eager that the car might be displayed, although perhaps only briefly, in the museum.
So who bought the car?
We've heard some very interesting rumors/speculation/informed conjecture, but so far the new owner(s) has not acknowledged the purchase. Nonetheless, a recent article in the Sunday edition of The New York Times provides some prospective on such sales. "The Coy Art of the Mystery Bidder" is the title of the article by Times art critic Roberta Smith, whose subject was another recent and record-setting purchase -- Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust" painting that sold for an auction-record $106.5 million to an anonymous telephone bidder.
"For a minute or two, I felt that the insistence on anonymity might qualify as mildly admirable behavior under the circumstances," Smith wrote. "It suggested that buying the picture… wasn't done just, or even primarily for the attention. I thought of the relentless legacy opportunities that museums are pressed to create, slapping the names of trustees and donors on galleries, wings, auditoriums, facades, directorships, curatorial positions."
However, she added, debating her earlier statement, "Strictly enforcing one's privacy - at a time when so much goes public so fast as it happens - may be the ultimate public display of power, and thus the most erotic. The buyer is the puppet master whose puppets are the in-the-know few…"
And what of the rest of us?
"The rest of us don't even need strings to be jerked around," she added.
The buyer, she writes, seemingly is in total control and "therefore derives the greatest pleasure from the actual transaction. Anonymity only makes it that much more pleasurable and voyeuristic."
Smith closes her article with a statement about the art world that may also apply to the world of automotive art, the collector car marketplace which for these past many months has seen prices falling with the world economy.
"The art world and the world at large are now back in their boom-time positions regarding auctions, which is watching the money, oohing and ahhing and making the spending of it that much more a turn-on," she concludes.
Radio hosts buys ferrari GTO
While the owner(s) of the Bugatti remain silent, the buyer in another private sale, this one coordinated by RM Auctions, has stepped forward. Chris Evans, who radio program is the most popular in England, says he paid $12 million pounds (some $18.5 million) for a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO. Evans collects Ferraris and reportedly sold three from his collection to buy the GTO, one of only 36 such cars ever built.
Good deeds from the Goodguys
The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association holds its fifth annual Bridgestone Nationals this weekend at LP Field in Nashville. In light of recent flooding in the area, the Goodguys are joining with Hands on Nashville, a local volunteer network, to raise money for flooding victims. Flood relief donation stations will be set up at all entrances to the car show and the Goodguys say they will match every dollar donated.
July 9 is Car Collector Day
Responding to encouragement from SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association, and ARMO, the Automotive Restoration Market Organization, the U.S. Senate has passed Resolution 513 designating July 9 as "Collector Car Appreciation Day."
The resolution's goal is to raise awareness of the role automotive restoration and collection plays in American life. Backers of the resolution hope many communities will stage "Collector Car Appreciation Day" cruise-ins, car shows and other special events the weekend after the Fourth of July.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Nicole Powell had career-highs in points (29) and 3-pointers (six) and added 10 rebounds to lead Stanford to a 74-66 win over Arizona Thursday night.
The Cardinal (17-10, 11-6 Pac-10) clinched a third-place finish in the league with the win while handing Arizona (18-11, 8-9) its fourth straight loss.
After opening with 15-4 run in the first five minutes, Stanford extended the margin to 28-15 with 5:05 remaining before the half.
Arizona cut the lead to 28-20 with 4:11 left, but after back-to-back 3-pointers from Powell and Becky Bonner, the Cardinal led 34-20 at the three-minute mark and 36-23 at the break.
Trailing 50-37 with 15 minutes left in the game, Arizona went on a 9-0 run behind seven straight points from Elizabeth Pickney to cut the lead to 50-46 with 12:35 remaining.
The Cardinal responded again with back-to-back 3-pointers from Powell and Enjoli Izidor to lead 56-46 with 12 minutes left.
Arizona had cut the lead to 70-65 with 2:26 remaining when Veranda James missed two free throws that could have pulled the Wildcats to within three.
Stanford then pulled away behind free throws from Powell and Lindsey Yamasaki in the final minute.
Yamasaki provided 15 points for the Cardinal.
Pickney scored a career-high 30 points, and Reshea Bristol added 16 for Arizona.

Basel smashes VaR (May 2012)
Since early 1900 we have known that one or two big price movements empirically make the distribution highly non-gaussian (Ignored by most academics and blind followers). Based on this we know that no matter how good mathematical model you have you cannot accurately predict the tail probabilities. And these tails have BIG IMPACT. The solution is to focus on robustness in your hedge, reduced leverage etc. (there is much more to this, time will tell)
From the Basel (May 2012) report:
"Moving from value-at-risk to expected shortfall A number of weaknesses have been identified with using value-at-risk (VaR) for determining regulatory capital requirements, including its inability to capture "tail risk". For this reason, the Committee has considered alternative risk metrics, in particular expected shortfall (ES). ES measures the riskiness of a position by considering both the size and the likelihood of losses above a certain confidence level. In other words, it is the expected value of those losses beyond a given confidence level. The Committee recognises that moving to ES could entail certain operational challenges; nonetheless it believes that these are outweighed by the benefits of replacing VaR with a measure that better captures tail risk. Accordingly, the Committee is proposing the use of ES for the internal models-based approach and also intends to determine risk weights for the standardised approach using an ES methodology."
"Shortcomings of the models-based approach: The metric used to capitalise trading book exposures was the 10-day value-at-risk (VaR) computed at the 99th percentile, one-tailed confidence interval. By construction, this is a measure aimed at capturing the risk of short-term fluctuations in market prices. While a 10-day VaR might be useful for day-to-day internal risk management purposes, it is questionable whether it meets the objectives of prudential regulation which seeks to ensure that banks have sufficient capital to survive low probability, or "tail", events. Weaknesses identified with the 10-day VaR metric include: its inability to adequately capture credit risk; its inability to capture market liquidity risk; the provision of incentives for banks to take on tail risk; and, in some circumstances, the inadequate capture of basis risk. Perhaps more fundamentally, the models-based capital framework for market risk relied on a bank-specific perspective of risk, which might not be adequate from the perspective of the banking system as a whole. The pro-cyclicality of VaR-based capital charges based on recent historic data and the large number and size of backtesting exceptions observed during the crisis serve to highlight regulatory concerns with continued reliance on VaR."

I have not met that many naive VaR followers at the trading floor, but yes around in different corporations there are in particular plenty of management removed from the trading floor (taking the big decisions) , often with lack of knowledge about trading and market behaviour that on their desk wants to have simple risk numbers, giving them the whole picture, rather than "scary" worst case scenario think thank discussions with their senior traders. I guess they prefer VaR as a flawed risk benchmark rather than have to tell to the share holders they could go bust in this and that extreme scenario that happen every 20, 50, 100 year (?) (rather than every 2000 years as predicted by their naive VaR models). Or even better reduce the firms over all risk exposure, stop giving loans without any equity behind it etc. And yes there are plenty of academics naively thinking it is just to have the right mathematical model and they can calculate the exact probability for extreme events. Think again!

City in St Louis: 1958
- 16 May 2013 15:23
- Posted by @mccarthy_mcfc
When Manchester City arrive in St Louis next week, it will have been almost fifty five years since a City squad last travelled to the 'Rome of the West.'
In May 1958, under the stewardship of Les McDowall, the Blues set out on a pre-season tour of the States playing nine games in three weeks.
The match against the Catholic Youth Council All Stars was originally scheduled to be played at St Louis' Public Schools stadium on the 26 May, but due to heavy rainfall it was delayed until the following day.
The team, which included City greats such as Don Revie and Bert Trautmann, recorded a 6-2 victory on the night in front of a crowd of 4,000 spectators.
However, it has been documented that manager McDowall felt his team could have done better against the amateur side.
"My boys have played much better football," he told the St.Louis Post-Dispatch.
"I could say the ground was a bit hard and uneven, but that wouldn't be the answer.
"We are a professional side and we should be able to adapt our game to any conditions. We didn't play as well or win as easily as we should have."
Will you be at the match against Chelsea in St Louis on Thursday 23 May? If so, head over to our Facebook page or official Twitter account and let us know!
We will bring you full coverage of the tour that will immediately follow the Barclays Premier League season here on mcfc.co.uk.

Release Notes for Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Release 3.2.2
March 24, 2003
Note You can find the most current documentation on Cisco.com. This set of electronic documents may contain updates and modifications made after the hard-copy documents were printed.
These release notes support Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router software release 3.2.2.
For a list of software caveats that apply to Release 3.2.2, see the "Caveats" section. The caveats are updated for every maintenance release and are located on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM.
These release notes describe the following topics:
•Limitations and Restrictions on SN 5428-2 Storage Router Clusters
•Obtaining Technical Assistance
The Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router provides universal access to storage over IP networks. The storage router software controls the operation of the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router. You can configure the software to provide one of two types of access to storage over IP networks; either SCSI routing or Transparent SCSI routing.
SCSI routing provides IP hosts with access to Fibre Channel (FC) storage devices, using iSCSI protocol. The iSCSI protocol is an IETF-defined protocol for IP storage (ips).
Note For more information about the iSCSI protocol, refer to the IETF standards for IP storage at http://www.ietf.org.
With SCSI routing, storage device access is managed primarily in the SN 5428-2. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1 SCSI Routing
Transparent SCSI routing provides IP hosts with transparent access to intelligent storage arrays using iSCSI protocol; that is, each IP host is presented as an FC host to an intelligent storage array. With transparent SCSI routing, availability of storage devices is managed primarily in the intelligent storage array. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2 Transparent SCSI Routing
In addition to providing services for accessing storage over IP networks, the SN 5428-2 Storage Router software provides the following services:
•VLAN Access Control—provides IP access control to storage based on a VLAN identifier (VID) number (in addition to access control through access lists)
•Authentication—provides iSCSI, Enable and Login authentication using AAA authentication methods
•High Availability (HA)—provides the ability to group storage routers in a cluster for intelligent failover and other cluster-related functions (for SCSI routing only)
•E_Port with FC Fabric Zoning—provides the ability to connect FC ports to FC switches and participate in fabric zoning, manage zoning, and support zone mergers
•SNMP/MIB support—provides network management of the SN 5428-2 through SNMP using selected MIBs
•Gigabit Ethernet Interface features—provides the ability to assign a management IP address per Gigabit Ethernet interface, multiple IP addresses per SCSI routing instance, and an optional secondary Gigabit Ethernet interface per IP address used for SCSI routing or SN 5428-2 management
•Buffer credit extension—enables the SN 5428-2 to donate buffer credits from a donor port to selected FC ports
•Secure Sockets Layer support—provides HTTPS connection for secure access through the web-based GUI
•Secure Shell (SSH) protocol version 2 support—provides high encryption and authentication for interactive management sessions, and is a common replacement for Telnet
•Routing Information Protocol (RIP) listening support—allows the SN 5428-2 to learn dynamic routing using RIP (version 1 or version 2) listening
•Service Location Protocol (SLP) Support—provides the ability to advertise targets of specified SCSI routing instances
•TCP Window Tuning—provides the ability to maximize bandwidth across the network by automatically setting the local TCP receive window size to the remote TCP receive window size without user intervention
•A command-line interface (CLI) and a web-based GUI—provides user interfaces for configuration and maintenance of an SN 5428-2
Note The web-based GUI is not available in SN 5428-2s deployed for transparent SCSI routing.
System Requirements
This section describes the system requirements for Release 3.2.2 and includes the following information:
Network Equipment
•The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the SN 5428-2 Storage Router use a flow control mechanism for stopping and starting traffic that prevents the loss of data. Flow control should also be turned on at the router's Gigabit Ethernet interfaces where the SN 5428-2 Storage Router is connected.
•If the SN 5428-2 Storage Router is participating in a cluster, and the HA or management interfaces are plugged into a switch that has Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enabled, the storage router should be considered as an end station and the affected ports on the switch should be configured appropriately. For example, set "portfast" on Cisco switches to cause the ports to immediately switch from blocking mode to forwarding mode. This helps prevent time-outs, which can cause unexpected behavior when storage routers join a cluster.
IP Hosts
To ensure the best performance for the SN 5428-2 Storage Router and the iSCSI drivers, the extended windowing feature of TCP and the receive and transmit flow control feature of the Gigabit Ethernet driver should be enabled on all IP hosts connecting to the SN 5428-2. On the SN 5428-2 Storage Router, you can use the CLI show scsirouter all connection tcp command to display the current and maximum TCP window size for each connected host.
Graphical User Interface
The SN 5428-2 Storage Router web-based GUI officially supports the following browsers:
Browser Platform
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 with service pack 2, or later
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000
Netscape Navigator version 4.76
Netscape Navigator version 4.7
Sun Solaris
iSCSI Driver Version Support
A Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router running software release 3.2.2 or later is compatible with an IP host running any Cisco iSCSI Driver version 2.1.1 or later; it is not compatible with an IP host running any Cisco iSCSI Driver version 1.8.x.
A Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router running software release 3.2.2 or later is also compatible with a Cisco SN 5420 Storage Router deployed for iSCSI SAN Interconnect.

SNMP Walks of the FCMGMT MIB may result in the following error: %SNMP-3-FSSPRQF: fcSwSnmpPktReqeust() failed. The Network Management tool(s) may report "Generic error" and the fail the MIB walk. This can occur when there are many devices.
Workaround: Use the GUI Monitor Fibre Channel screen or the CLI show interface command to display fibre channel interface information.
If an SNMP set request is issued with multiple variable bindings, and there is an error with one of the bindings (for example, trying to set a read-only object), the set request to the other bindings are allowed to complete. The SNMP V1 and V2 specs specify that if any of the set operations to the bindings in a SNMP set request fail, none of them should be done.

Stock Downgrades: Yum Brands Giving Investors Indigestion

Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
Among us contrarians,

absolutely infallible opposite indicator

Buy gold
" — the very same day that bullion endured its single worst session for 33 years. So its current bullishness is a concern, but for now let's just enjoy the
(^DJI) having yesterday recovered a smidgen of recent steep declines.
(PINK:ADDYY) certainly enjoyed a
, taking its 12-month gain to 28.24%. (Although you know you've got problems when
one of your star athletes stands accused of cannibalism
for the second time in his career.)
Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling
(CCH) jumped 4.93% in the wake of a
message in a bottle arriving ashore after 28 years
. A distant age, 1985. The Plaza Accords took place amid currency battles and a booming Japanese stock market. Margaret Thatcher hogged the headlines. And our
wars with Russia
were mercifully Cold, not hot. Today in economics, March new home sales are reported at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
On the corporate front it's another frenetic session for earnings announcements with

Lockheed Martin
Panera Bread
United Technologies

Yum Brands
(YUM) all due to release results.
American Electric Power

(RATE): Goldman Sachs reduces RATE to Sell from Neutral, sending the stock slumping ahead of the open.
British American Tobacco

Compass Minerals
(CMP): Shares are slashed to Underperform from Market Perform by BMO Capital Markets.
(ERIC): Danske downgrades the Swedish telecom name to Hold from Buy.
Inter Parfums
(IPAR): B. Riley & Co. cuts the company to Neutral from Buy, trimming its target to $27 from $31. A recent stock surge has left little room for additional upside potential in the near term, the broker believes.
(PWER): Shares get downgraded to Hold from Buy at Jefferies.
(RCI): Credit Suisse reduces RCI to Neutral from Outperform.
Sempra Energy
(SRE): ISG Group takes the stock to Neutral from Buy amid myriad issues including inconsistent earnings in its renewable business and ongoing challenges in California.
SLM Corp.

Western Union

Yum Brands
(NYSE:YUM): Bank of America-Merrill Lynch lowers the owner of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell — which reports earnings later today — by an unusual 180 degrees (Underperform from Buy.) Its price objective, previously $80, is slashed to $60 amid avian-flu related weakness at KFC China.

Do Not BuyI purchased the Alterna Hemp Hair Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. Big Mistake. While shampooing, I noticed that the shampoo did not lather too well. When I applied the conditioner, it felt that it was not really penetrating my hair. Both shampoo and conditioner texture felt thin...When I went to comb my wet hair with a wide toothed comb, TONS of hair came out. I was astonished! I have never had a reaction to a shampoo or conditioner before. When I let my hair drip dry, I went to brush it and MORE hair came out...70 hairs total. I looked at my scalp and noticed it was dried out and flaky, not to mention my hair looked a little greasy. The shampoo cost $23.00. The conditioner cost $27.00. Needless to say, I am returning this crap.Dec 16, 2008Tracy Zamora / Phoenix, AZ

It's not every day a guard is the player of the day, but this may be more of an accumulation of good practices for the Saints' four-time All-Pro offensive lineman. The team asked Evans to shed some weight during the offseason, and he happily obliged. The results have shown as Evans looks slimmer and more athletic.
As for Wednesday's practice, Evans dominated his one-on-one pass protection drills, stonewalling Akiem Hicks and Tyrunn Walker. It's been the norm throughout camp. Evans has also helped in the development of the Saints' new outside zone rushing scheme. Offensive line coach Bret Ingalls said Evans, who is known more as a mauler, is athletic enough to make the running scheme work.
The six-year kicker probably had his worst practice of training camp just as the Saints waived kicker Jose Maltos, who was Hartley's only competition in camp. Hartley missed two 40-yard attempts midway during practice with the second being worst than the first.
Hartley did make both of his attempts at the end of practice during two-minute team drills. So all isn't too bad. The two earlier misses were too much to ignore, though.
Drew Brees revealed how well fifth-rounder Kenny Stills has filled in for the injured Joe Morgan since Morgan got hurt during Saturday's scrimmage. Stills has been running with the first team and practice and the Saints feel like he has progressed.
Stills is not a tall, speedy receiver like the 6-foot-1 Morgan, but Brees said the rookie is starting to catch on -- pardon the pun.
Stills sped past cornerback Corey White on a deep route during individual drills for a touchdown pass from Seneca Wallace. Stills also came through during red-zone team drills as he hauled in a second TD catch on a quick slant from Luke McCown.
"I don't want to stand in front of the cameras and say that it's too much for us, this is what we get paid to do. When I think that it's too hot, I look across the lot at Winn Dixie and say, oh, they're hiring and it's nice and cool in the refrigerator section. I'm glad to be out here and I enjoy this opportunity. So is it too hot for me? No. It's not too hot for me because I'm living a dream. ... But it is hot, though." -- cornerback Jabari Greer on the scorching heat during training camp.

We don't want to like this Belle Noel Wishbone Necklace ($60). Buying it will put more money in Kim Kardashian's pocket, helping her continue to clutter up our televisions. But damn the woman, whoever she hired to design her jewelry did a good job with this piece. So much for our cultural morality.

It happened. I've become that person. The one I always thought was off their rocker. I ran for 20 straight minutes this morning. TWENTY! And what makes it even more of a "off-their-rocker" moment...it was at 6 in the morning.
It's funny to look back on the change that has occurred in my life in the last 3 and a half months. Back in August waking up before 6 was not possible. Things were so different. I'd toss and turned in bed and (I haven't ever really admitted this) it was hard to turn over in bed. I always had to pick up and flip and I hated it because it just felt terrible. Now 43 pounds lighter I still have times when I toss and turn but it is totally different. I don't feel like it takes so much effort.
In August going shopping for clothes was down right depressing. So many times I would leave a store empty handed because nothing fit and all I wanted to do was cry. Now I can walk into a store pick up my size and it fits! While this isn't good for my wallet it is such an awesome feeling. Shopping isn't the enemy anymore.
In August even looking at a scale made me feel terrible about myself. Now I look at it and think "Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great. YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME." Yes, my life often references the Labyrinth. But really, I am no longer afraid of it. Now it shows how much hard work and dedication I've put in.
In August when people would talk about weight, fitness, and food I always felt like they were silently judging me because of how heavy I was. Now when those subjects come up I don't really care about their opinion. I know that everyone has a different journey and that journey should never be dictated by others. It is yours and yours only.
Often times it is the things we think others perceive about us and the things we think about ourselves that get us down. I've always known I was harder on myself than anyone could possible be on me. I've learned in the last 3 and a half months that so much of this is mental and once I learned to really love myself and push myself beyond my comfort zone I regained the power. I am woman hear me ROAR!

A10's double-cut pork chop
Road Tripby Lisa Shames | Photography by Anthony Tahlier | CS magazine | December 31, 2013
I've never quite understood the beauty concept of meticulously applying makeup so you look like you're not wearing any. What's the point of taking all that time to do something that, on the surface, looks like you've barely done anything at all? But I had a light-bulb moment on the topic after I went to A10, the new Hyde Park restaurant from Charlie Trotter's vet Matthias Merges (he's also behind Avondale's Asian street food-inspired Yusho and craft cocktail spot Billy Sunday) that takes its name and menu inspiration from the autoroute running through Italy and the south of France.
Face painting and food might sound like odd bedfellows, but let me explain.
Or, rather, I'll let the restaurant's simple sounding bucatini carbonara open the looks-can-be-deceiving discussion. Like many of the ingredients that go into the large and small plates on A10's concise menu, the pasta in this dish is housemade—and you can taste the difference. The thick, spaghetti-like noodles with a small hole running through the center have just the right texture to stand up to the rich sauce of organic cream, cheese from Michigan, nubs of smoky guanciale, garlic chips and fresh herbs. That still-jiggling egg sitting in the center gets its lovely consistency from being cooked for 60 minutes at a low temperature. In the hands of Merges and chef John Vermiglio, this classic Roman pasta dish stays true to its humble roots, but at the same time gets an upgrade from some high-end ingredients and modern techniques.
It's a similar story with the chicken liver mousse from the small plates section. While everyone seems to be doing a version of this offal dish these days, A10's challenges the playing field with a slightly sweet marsala gelee and smattering of earthy royal trumpet mushrooms topping the silky spread. The accompanying olive oil crackers—housemade, natch—manage to be crunchy, yet thick enough to not shatter when bitten into.
Need more convincing? One of the three pizzas should do the trick. Purists might have trouble with it being called "pizza" since the two triangle wedges on the plate look more like a love child between focaccia and flatbread than they do a traditional pie. But I imagine they'll be silenced once they taste it. The housemade dough is chewy but also has a nice crust to it. (More proof of A10's prowess with dough can be found in its baguette, which is served warm.) Ours came with a terrific burrata cheese, smoked eggplant (I was hoping for more smoke flavor) and drizzles of balsamic vinegar.
If you're looking for something heartier the smoked Berkshire double pork chop should do the trick. An inch and a half thick, the beautiful cut of meat arrives standing at attention propped on its side. A worthy presentation for such a delicious dish, made even better by the tart apple caponata and fried sage leaves it's paired with.
In keeping with A10's low-key vibe, dishes are dropped off with just a word or two of explanation. But, really, all you need to know is waiting for you in that first bite and those that will inevitably follow. And while the conversation will at some point turn to how delicious everything in front of you is—especially if you order the scallops dish, which includes four plump, perfectly cooked and seasoned mollusks sharing the plate with a mound of creamy butternut squash and sage risotto—the food here serves almost as a backdrop to what has quickly become a popular, cozy neighborhood spot, catering to both those associated with the nearby University of Chicago (business suits accessorized with leather backpacks is a thing here) and longtime Hyde Parkers. In fact, I'm happy to report, the clientele is the most diverse I've seen anywhere, and that includes both in the bar area and dining room.
The interior design at A10, created by Merges' wife Rachel Crowl of FC Studio, definitely adds to that sit-back-and-relax feeling. The white brick walls of the high-ceiling dining room are decorated with large tapestries. Along one side is an open kitchen partially obscured by a beautiful wood counter; another sports tall windows that look out onto the bustling street. Comfortable midcentury modern-esque chairs and couches, and fabric table runners, give the space a chic, homey ambience.
But there are a few bumps along the road at A10. The fried Great Lakes smelts sound good on paper, but, in reality, were greasy and lacked flavor. While the side of Brussels sprouts was tasty, the small pieces of beef tongue didn't add anything—until I had them the next day. The predominantly Old World wine list has some wonderful selections, including some interesting Spanish whites, although I wondered why there weren't more reasonably priced by-the-glass offerings. And there are a few glitches when it comes to service, too, but I'm willing to chalk it up to beginner's nerves and let it slide.
Until, that is, an overeager server tried to take away prematurely, for the second time, our cannoli soft-serve. A perfect combination of ubercreamy vanilla soft-serve ice cream, salted caramel sauce, pistachios and large pieces of cannoli shells, it's a dessert worth fighting for. A10 servers, consider yourselves warned.
What's on Tap
Like at Yusho, A10 features draft cocktails, including the zippy Americano made with vermouth and Gran Classico.
Stepping Out
The cool overhead shelving found in the bar and dining room is made from vintage school gymnasium ladders from the '50s.
Meat and Greet
In the next few weeks, look for plenty of house-cured meats to appear on the menus at A10, says Merges.
1462 E. 53rd St.
Open for lunch Tue.-Sat., dinner Tue.-Sun. and brunch Sun.
Small plates and sides, $6-$13
Pizza and pasta, $8-$24
Large plates, $22-$34

Smart Links for the Smart Shopper
From Engineering on June 05, 2009 in General

Sometimes there is just no avoiding these long nights, but in the digital age there's no need to struggle to find a product once you've decided to go for it. Moreover, its much easier to shop around and find the most reasonable deal on anything from a major remodeling project to a new centerpiece for the dining table. Following are three ways (out of many) to get what you want while retaining full sanity, or at least as much as you can.
In terms of home improvement and getting the most bang for your buck, there has never been a more important time to do both. That's why Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors is offering advice and products for the savings-minded homeowner, striving to improve both energy and cost value while improving the home as well.
Furnished Variety
When you've figured out what you want there's no need to get up from the computer. At HomeDecorations.com you can find lighting, ceiling fans, furniture, fixtures, décor, and more in one location, all with free shipping.

Able to hold up to five soccer balls and featuring an easy-to-use closure button, the Sports Rack is vital to keeping the active family organized, and calm.

New report says Wisconsin's technical colleges play vital role in state's economy
Published on Thursday, October 15, 2009
Wisconsin's technical colleges will play a vital role in ensuring that employers have the skilled workers they'll need in the coming years, according to a new national report. Demand in Wisconsin for highly-skilled technical and trade workers will spike as baby boomers retire and the number of high school graduates declines, trends obscured by the current recession.
Wisconsin's Forgotten Middle-Skill Jobs was released today by The Workforce Alliance, a national coalition of community-based organizations, community and technical colleges, labor unions, business leaders and local officials. Part of the national Skills2Compete campaign, the Alliance report says "middle-skill" jobs—those that require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree—represent about 54 percent of current jobs in Wisconsin, a proportion not expected to change significantly over the next decade. Wisconsin's technical colleges are the premier provider of the education and training needed to obtain these jobs.
Although the recession has resulted in a high unemployment rate in Wisconsin, a significant mismatch currently exists between worker skills and employer needs. "Given the pace of technological advancements in the workplace, high-quality education and training for all workers has become an economic imperative," said Dan Clancy, President of the Wisconsin Technical College System. "This is really about creating a culture of lifelong learning in Wisconsin."
Wisconsin's Forgotten Middle-Skill Jobs notes that 67 percent of those expected to be in Wisconsin's workforce in 2020 were already working in 2005. Because many of these individuals have been dislocated or don't have the advanced skills required to meet employers' current or emerging needs, they are turning to the technical colleges in large numbers.
Enrollments in Wisconsin's 16 technical colleges, which historically increase during recessionary times, are at unprecedented levels: the System's full-time equivalent enrollments are expected to increase more than 15 percent this year. While significant enrollment increases have strained colleges' staff and resources, the colleges have responded with a number of strategies to meet demand, particularly the needs of dislocated workers. Strategies include adding course sections, flexible course delivery, relaxing enrollment limits and deadlines, and waiving application and other fees for dislocated workers.
Brent Kramer, of La Crosse, was laid off from his welding job at Trane Company in June. He had often thought about pursuing an associate's degree, but it wasn't until his layoff that he took his chance. "I'm really excited about this opportunity," he said. "Now I want a quality job and a rewarding career. Getting my degree will help me achieve that." Kramer is currently enrolled in Western Technical College's Respiratory Therapy program.
Getting laid off was a mixed blessing for Kramer. Unemployment benefits, including educational funding, have allowed him to pursue his dream of a college degree. "I couldn't afford to do school otherwise," he said. And support services at Western have helped him choose his direction.
"We feel it's essential that working adults and dislocated workers understand the educational and career pathways that are available to them," said Lee Rasch, president of Western Technical College. "Our enrollment services advisors make sure that the approach and options are clear from the start. This ensures that employers get the skilled workers they need, and the workers are able to advance their careers."
The Alliance report highlights a number of exemplary education and training programs already developed by the technical colleges to serve these populations. To highlight the importance of education and training beyond high school, the Wisconsin Technical College System endorses the vision offered in the Wisconsin's Forgotten Middle-Skill Jobs: every Wisconsinite should have access to education or training past high school. The report and additional information about labor market projections and Wisconsin Technical College System programs can be found at www.skills2compete.org/Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Technical College System has 16 technical college districts throughout Wisconsin, which offer more than 300 programs awarding two-year associate degrees, one and two-year technical diplomas and short-term technical diplomas. In addition, the System is the major provider of customized training and technical assistance to Wisconsin's business and industry community. Approximately 400,000 Wisconsinites enroll in technical colleges each year. More than half of all adults in Wisconsin have accessed the technical colleges for education and training. Find more about educational programs at www.witechcolleges.org.

I've started a series of posts called Guitar at Work (or School) where I'll be sharing things you can do while sitting at a desk, during your lunch break, or even while watching TV, to help improve different aspects of guitar playing. Week 1 is on posture.
Good posture is a basic element of guitar playing and is very important regarding the long term effect it will have on your back, shoulders, etc. If you're a beginner guitarist, you may find yourself wanting to lean over the top of the guitar to see the frets and your fingers, that will only hinder you're guitar playing and, as crazy as it sounds, could cause injury. When you are playing and you look down you should mostly see the side of the neck, otherwise you'll be wasting those magical fret markers that they put there.

So far in the 2012 Hurricane season we have seen 13 named storms with 7 of those being hurricanes. Obviously the two big stories around here have been 'Debby' in June and 'Isaac' in August. Each having impacts here in the panhandle from heavy rain (Debby) to severe weather and erosion (Isaac). With the 13 named storms so far we are already ahead of the historical average of 12 named storms (over past 30 years) for an entire season!
As we look through the rest of the season we start looking anywhere in the Gulf, Caribbean, or Atlantic in September and then narrow our focus to the Caribbean and Gulf by later in October and November.
One of the reasons why we think the 2nd half will be quieter than the 1st half is because El Nino is developing the in equatorial Pacific. That typically creates a less conducive environment for tropical cyclones in the Atlantic. The below chart illustrates various models all showing El Nino developing. El Nino also typically means cooler and wetter weather for the panhandle. Something else to look at for our upcoming winter forecast.
No matter what the forecast... it only takes 1 storm to have a very bad hurricane season. Hopefully with our two close calls you and your family have your hurricane plan/kit together. We post all sorts of information on our website at wjhg.com/weather/tropics. For now the tropics are active with Leslie, Michael, and soon to be Nadine in the Atlantic, but a persistent east coast trough will turn them out to sea before reaching the United States.

"Glee" is gearing up for the final season of the show and now news is out that Naya Rivera won't be back for this sixth season of the show. On Wednesday, US Magazine shared the news about how she actually got fired according to multiple sources and won't be coming back.
This all started with reports that she can't get along with Lea Michelle on the set. Obviously they will not be getting rid of her. Some reports even say that Naya has been written out of the final episode of season five and that they are done with her being on the show. She isn't even showing up on the promos for the show now.
Just 12 hours ago, USA Today shared that she wasn't leaving "Glee" regardless of reports but now things are heating up. It honestly seems like she is just not ready to talk about it because this morning numerous sources are saying that she will not be back at all for the upcoming season. This is coming as a shock to fans of the show.
Radar Online even shared that she has been banned from the set for her actions. FOX might even be taking legal action against her because of time lost on the set when she was throwing a tantrum. It appears that this time she took it too far and they are just tired of it. She has been fighting with the director and not just Lea Michelle. It appears that Naya wanted to be the star of the show and that wasn't the case.
In April, Naya Rivera called off her engagement with Big Sean. Now she is dealing with the loss of her job. This is a really hard time for the actress and it sounds like things are falling apart. Hopefully some good news is coming soon for her and she can move on past this just fine.
