We agree with the correspondents' suggestions and thank them for the very helpful specific examples they provide. We add a few comments herein.
Chistensen and Oldenburg convincingly describe the use of electronic portals for patients to access their test results. As such portals are refined and become more widely available, they are likely to be very useful to both patients and physician practices. Whether they use such portals, physicians should design their systems for managing test results so that they work well for vulnerable patients: those who are elderly, cognitively impaired, relatively uneducated, speak English poorly, and/or have multiple medical conditions. A recent study demonstrated that even within Kaiser Permanente, an integrated health system on the leading edge of health information technology, a "digital divide" exists; racial/ethnic minority patients and those with limited educational attainment were much less likely to use Kaiser Permanente's Web-based personal health record.1

Original Message
Many here know I was on the History Channels "UFO Hunters" where they proved I have a very rare Blood Anomaly/Bloodline and this was revealed on the episode I was on.
Not sure if this has anything to do with what I am about to share with you but I feel it must be connected.
I have shared much with you all here so let me share something that has just happened recently that is very disturbing to me on many levels.
I met this new Girl, She just moved to my area last October 2009 from Las Vegas she said.
I Met her at one of my Live music shows. We began hanging out and "seeing" each other.
1st off, Know she was a nurse in the Military for 12 Years.
Well the other night we were fooling around and let's just say I think she took a Blood Sample from me, we were kinda fooling around when I felt a sharp pain and I was like, whoaaa STOP, I am in pain here, Her response was very strange to me, she just said Shhhh, It's OK and starting kissing me again, I was like no wait a minute I'm not joking, I asked her if she had rings on or something because something happened and I thought perhaps I might even be Bleeding, Just to be clear, I'm talking about my Privates/package here, She continued on and I kinda forgot about it.
The next morning when we woke up I threw on some pants and I drove her home.
When I returned home and that is when I realized my underwear was soaked in Blood, I was like what the Fuck, The Bed had some Blood on it as well. They could have just asked me, That's a fun way to give a blood sample I guess but
About a week & a half went by before I seen her again, I told her what happened and she fessed up right away. She actually caught me off guard, she admitted to everything.
When I asked her point blank if she took a blood sample, she said "Yes, your hard earned tax money being put to good use"
She said the device was a ring which had a hollow Labyrinth built into it's design in the shape of a heart which stores the blood, she showed me the ring.
She went on to tell me a lot about Labyrinth's and how her & I had to go through a Labyrinth, and that there are folks who actually are "guided" to build these Labyrinth. She told me the black Op's group she works for is very into creating Labyrinths?
I am still wondering if she was hinting she was from the Labyrinth Group/ACIO who's existance was revealed at the htpp://www.Wingmakers.com site, I think so.
She said they confirmed what they were looking for in my blood and said "Michael, you really are not going to have a choice, you are a breeder, you have to mate with another from my own bloodline" and that it would be arranged for me to meet my "Mate" in the future.
What the fuck is that about? I have no choice? Not that that doesn't sound fun but it raises many questions.
I asked her why my dick? WTF? just ask me if you need a blood sample, she said the penis skin is the thinist on the body, and she usually could pull this off undetected which I don't see how that would be possible but anyhow, She told me she is Military black Ops based out of Fort Bragg, NC operations. She wouldn't give up much info other than that.
I have not even looked up to see if Fort Bragg is in NC, I'll check here in a minute.
Anyhow, I have not heard from her since, I actually really liked her, we talked about about things I can't usually talk about so to say I am bummed, and horrified and curious is a understatement.
She said she would never hurt me and she was just doing what she was contracted for and she didn't think she would actually begin to have feelings for me but she did.
What are you thoughts? I am pissed and a little freaked out, perhaps I have been a little to vocal about my Bloodline?
I have not heard from her or seen her now for two weeks.
Anybody out there have some inside info on why they did this?

We are gratified by the interest in our work1 and thank Mirkin and Bach for their thought-provoking suggestion.
It is not clear to us that raising awareness of a natural human tendency (to be drawn to a finding over an absence of one), or that reminding reviewers and editors that articles should be judged on methodological rigor rather than by the direction of the outcomes, will result in any sort of counteracting bias. Similarly, finding the means to publish high-quality, no-difference or "negative" studies, whether in print, in electronic editions, or in searchable online appendixes, seems to offer little downside, while providing a mechanism for no-difference studies to be identified by meta-analyses, decision analyses, and other forms of synthetic research.

Special Needs Group Fills Special Niche
When parents gather for monthly meetings of Ozreinu, a spiritual support group for families with special-needs children, the first thing they do is check in.
Before they get to the Jewish text, before they begin the formal discussion, they update each other on what's been going on over the last month.
"Every month we gather there is stronger sense of community," said Rabbi Shawn Fields-Meyer, the group's founder. "It provides a forum for really honest sharing without embarrassment. And there is always a lot of humor that only another parent with a special-needs kid can appreciate."
Ozreinu, Hebrew for "our help," is "cross-denominational and multidiagnosis," as Fields-Meyer put it, and includes families of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cerebral palsy, autism and mental retardation.
From its beginning in 2000, the small group that met in Westside living rooms has expanded, with satellite groups in Santa Monica, Valley Village and Sherman Oaks.
At each meeting, parents study a Jewish text -- anything from Bible to Talmud to modern Israeli poetry -- as a jumping off point for discussion.
"We always find ourselves in the text, and we always find a way to support each other through the text," Fields-Meyer said.
At a recent meeting, for example, the group discussed the story of Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakkai, who after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem took the risk of envisioning a new and different future for the Jewish people. They related his situation to the risks they take -- in changing schools or therapies, in making decisions that impact the rest of the family.
"Being a parent is all about making choices and taking risks," Fields-Meyer said. "Being a parent of [special-needs] children intensifies that exponentially, and we use Jewish texts to open up doors to talk about those difficulties."
Fields-Meyer has helped launch Ozreinu meetings in San Jose and Rhode Island. The rabbi provides the facilitators with texts and suggests ways to guide the discussion. Two more groups, in Seattle and Marin County, are set to launch in September.
Overall, it has been quite the year for Fields-Meyer, a Conservative rabbi and mother of three boys (Ami, 11; Noam, 7; and Ezra, 9, who has autism). She spent last fall publicizing her well-received book, "A Day Apart: Shabbat at Home" (co-written with Noam Zion of the Shalom Hartman Institute). Last spring, she was honored by the Mintz Family Foundation with its Creative Jewish Education Award for her work with Ozreinu.
Last winter, Ozreinu conducted its first Shabbaton for about 50 adults and 70 children, which was held on President's Day weekend at Camp Ramah in Ojai and supported by the Jewish Community Foundation. Fields-Meyer coordinated the event with Tara Reisbaum, director of Camp Ramah's Tikvah Program, a summer camp for Jewish adolescents with developmental and emotional disabilities.
Parents said they were energized by the weekend, despite a record-breaking downpour. There were developmentally appropriate activities for the children, who stayed in separate cabins, while parents forged new bonds over Torah study and discussions.
"The best part of the Shabbaton was not worrying about how my daughter was behaving or if people were evaluating her," said Judith Rubin, a member of the Ozreinu group at Adat Ari El in Valley Village. "It was nice to enjoy the weekend without the added burden of other people's judgments."
Parents saw their children with special needs, as well their other children, making friends and gaining confidence.
"I liked the fact that they [the brothers and sisters] had their own sessions where they could open up about life with a special-needs sibling," said Cindy Steinschriber, whose 11-year-old son, Yoni, attended the Shabbaton. "I knew he would benefit both from being able to talk about his own experiences, as well as hearing about the experiences of others."
Steinschriber is a founding member of Ozreinu on the Westside. Her daughter, Liora, is 14 years old and has multiple challenges, including ADHD and developmental delays. While she has been in other, non-Jewish support groups, Steinschriber likes "the idea of learning Torah as the key component and the fact that the group was comprised of parents within our local community."
At the retreat, Fields-Meyer said, "Jewish families were able to meet each other for spiritual support, insight and networking. Most importantly, they came away with the sense of being included in the Jewish community, that the Jewish community has a place for them."
For more information on Ozreinu, contact Rabbi Shawn Fields-Meyer at email@example.com.

Community Farmyard and Greenhouse
Aspen TREE's Community Farmyard is an education, destination, and demonstration garden and farmyard six miles from downtown Aspen, Colorado. It operates as an education center for nearly 650 students (primarily youth) annually, 50% of which attend programs on scholarship. This last fall, a four season's tropical community greenhouse dome was constructed on the farmyard. During construction, nearly 80 volunteers helped to clear the land and build the dome, which opened nearly 2500 square feet of new gardening area! With the generous support of KGI, this 2500 square feet can expand our demonstration gardens such that students in Aspen TREE's programs and on field trips can eat fresh produce while learning about sustainability (and even cook some on our parabolic solar cooker!).
About us:
KGI is a nonprofit community of over 30,000 people who are growing some of our own food and helping others to do the same.

Talk To Yourself
When writing copy, read it back to yourself. Is it compelling? Would it keep your interest had you not written it nor never heard of the product or company?
If your copy doesn't move you, it's quite likely that passivity will be self evident. Many direct copywriters I've spoken to say they know or believe the writer's true feelings come out and are perceived by the reader, consciously or otherwise. LC

Dissertation B (AMME5223)
Dissertation aims to provide students with the opportunity to carry out a defined piece of independent research in a setting and in a manner that fosters the development of individual engineering and scientific research skills. These skills include the capacity to define a research question, showing how it relates to existing knowledge, identifying the tools needed to investigate the question, carrying out the research in a systematic way, analysing the results obtained and presenting the outcomes in a report that is clear, coherent and logically structured. Dissertation is undertaken across two semesters of enrolment, in two successive Units of Study of 12 credits points each. Dissertation A covers first steps of thesis research starting with development of research proposal. Dissertation B covers the second of stage writing up and presenting the research results.
Students are asked to write a thesis based on a research project, which is very often related to some aspect of a staff member's research interests. Some projects will be experimental in nature, others may involve computer-based simulation, feasibility studies or the design, construction and testing of equipment. Direction of thesis work may be determined by the supervisor or be of an original nature, but in either case the student is responsible for the execution of the practical work and the general layout and content of the project itself. The final capstone report must be the student's individual work. The Thesis will be judged on the extent and quality of the student's original work and particularly how critical, perceptive and constructive he or she has been in assessing his/her work and that of others. Students will also be required to present the results of their findings to their peers and supervisors as part of a seminar program.
It is expected that a project at this level will represent a contribution to new knowledge meeting the level of a postgraduate research degree.

In wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs), a set of static sensor nodes and a set of (mobile) actor nodes form a network that performs distributed sensing and actuation tasks. In [1], Abbasi et al. presented DARA, a Distributed Actor Recovery Algorithm, which restores the connectivity of the interactor network by efficiently relocating some mobile actors when failure of an actor happens. To restore 1 and 2-connectivity of the network, two algorithms are developed in [1]. Their basic idea is to find the smallest set of actors that needs to be repositioned to restore the required level of connectivity, with the objective to minimize the movement overhead of relocation. Here, we show that the algorithms proposed in [1] will not work smoothly in all scenarios as claimed and give counterexamples for some algorithms and theorems proposed in [1]. We then present a general actor relocation problem and propose methods that will work correctly for several subsets of the problems. Specifically, our method does result in an optimum movement strategy with minimum movement overhead for the problems studied in [1].
Connectivity restoration, controlled node mobility, fault tolerance, wireless sensor and actor networks.

If you book independently, you may risk not getting back in time.. When the ship sails...be on it.
The Parthenon sits atop the Acropolis and is a the most important structure on the planet for what it represents, is also a must see. The view down onto the incredible city of Athens is only realized by being there. It is memorable.
Use a water taxi (Vaporetto) to get around.
San Marco is the stop with most of those trademarked sights.
St. Mark's Square is here as well as Gondoliers and narrow canals from which paintings are made.
Cafe's and shops round out a perfectly delightful day. Once you are jostled by a pickpocket, it's too late. The handoff has ALREADY OCCURRED. Do yourself a favor and purchase a Civita Pocket to put inside your trousers. It really provides peace of mind (for the entire trip) Venice can be quite crowded on a sunny afternoon.
Venice is gorgeous by anyone's accounting. You'll remember it forever.
If your waiting to embark on a cruise ship from Venice and will use a hotel in the meantime, may I suggest you consider paying up to double for a hotel in Venice rather than a hotel out of town that is accompanied by a 150 Euro round trip taxi ride like we did.
Venice is a must see. You can easily do this on your own..

KOLKATA: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday threatened not to repay interests on Rs 2.3 lakh crore loan which was taken by the previous Left Front government.
"If necessary, we will rush to Delhi along with all our MPs and MLAs and meet the Prime Minister to press upon the Union government to allow a three year moratorium on loan repayment. MLAs of the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) will also accompany us. For the past one year, we are requesting the Centre for this loan moratorium. Myself and Amit Mitra (West Bengal's finance minister) had spoken to Union ministers at least for fifty time to press for our demand. Why should our government repay huge interests on loans taken by the previous Left Front government ?," Mamata told a huge gathering here which was organised to pay homage to martyrs of her party.

David Einhorn's hedge fund, Greenlight Capital Inc., took a nearly 5% stake in Oil States International, a company he declared a target for shareholder activism target last week.
The famous hedge-fund manager, speaking at an industry investment conference, said he thinks the stock should be worth $118 a share and noted that another activist firm, Jana Partners, had filed a plan that could send shares even higher.
Jana proposed Oil States International spin out a business that provides lodging on energy sites into a real-estate investment trust, a move Einhorn could said could send the stock to $155 a share.
Einhorn added he would be happy to let Jana handle the activist fight.
Greenlight's quarterly 13F filing showed the fund held 2.7 million shares of Oil States International as of the end of March. That would amount to a 4.9% stake and make Greenlight the No. 5 holder in the company.
The stake would be worth $273.4 million as of Wednesday's close at $101.25.
Elsewhere in its portfolio, Greenlight boosted its stake in technology giant Apple to about 2.4 million shares from 1.3 million shares and 275,000 call options at the end of last year. The latest filing showed no call options. The new stake would be worth over $1 billion at Wednesday's close.
Einhorn told investors in his funds last week that he had boosted the stake in Apple as he awaited its "next blockbuster product."
The fund also sharply boosted its stake in Marvell Technology Group to 51.8 million shares, equal to more than 10% of the chip maker's shares outstanding. At the end of last year, Greenlight held just 319,000 shares. As of Wednesday, the Marvell Technology stake would be worth $581.7 million.
More In 13F Filings
The filing, a requirement for investors managing over $100 million, also showed new stakes in energy company Hess, in Barry Diller's media and internet company IAC/Interactive and in aircraft-parts company Spirit AeroSystems
It also showed no holdings in Yahoo or Xerox, two positions that were sharply increased during the fourth quarter, according to earlier filings.

It was Father's Day 2003 when Malonga Casquelourd, internationally renowned drummer and dancer, was killed in a head-on collision with a drunken driver in Oakland. Casquelourd, 55, was such a Bay Area institution for so long, his presence was so large, it doesn't seem possible he has been gone that long.
But he has, at least in body. On Saturday his family and the numerous artists he worked with will present a celebration of his life, called a Malaki Matanga.
"Malaki Matanga is the name of the traditional Congolese ceremony," said Kiazi Malonga, his oldest son. "It is the celebration of the end of mourning when someone passes."
Because Casquelourd was so involved with the arts, the family decided to combine the traditional ceremony with a performance.
"It will show the collaboration of all the areas, artists, styles and cultures he touched and worked with," Malonga said. "It's a way to include the entire community to make it a celebration of my father's legacy."
Muisi-kongo Malonga, Malonga's oldest daughter, said the ceremony provides closure.
"During the time of mourning, life is on hold. The family decides to wear dark colors and do different things to show the world they're in mourning. When the period is over, it's time to go back to regular life," she said.
In accordance with Congolese tradition, Casquelourd's children shaved their heads in mourning.
"The last celebration was melancholy and sad,"she recalled. "Now, two years later, there will be a lot more joy involved. We're far enough removed to look at the happy things. We have more perspective on his life."
In October, Martin Burgermyer, the driver of the car that collided with Casquelourd's, pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter and DUI causing bodily injury and was sentenced to four years in prison.
Casquelourd, an ambassador of Congolese culture, founded Fua Dia Congo, a dance group, and Diata Diata, a women's drumming group, and he was a founding member of the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival. He was a major factor in the East Bay's development as one of the nation's most advanced African dance communities.
He taught in East Palo Alto and at San Francisco State University. Every Saturday for 25 years, he taught a dance class at Citicentre Dance Theatre, most recently based at the Alice Arts Center in Oakland. Last year, the center was renamed the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts. His children continue his work, participating in the annual Congolese camp in the Sierra foothills; Muisi-kongo does the warm-up for the Saturday class.
"There is a Congolese proverb, 'Wa Dia Fua Yiaa Dio,' that says when someone passes on something to you, it is your responsibility to add on and not just to keep it as it's given to you, but to build on that," Kiazi said. "What my father left us as family and kids, as community, it's up to us to continue and add to the foundation he built. When we pass it on, it will be richer, bigger. This is the first step in attempting to add on to his gift."
Malaki Matanga for Malonga will be held at the Stanford University Memorial Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Saturday with performances by CK Ladzekpo and the African Dance Ensemble, John Santos, Dimensions Dance Theater, Fogo Na Ropa, Diamano Coura, Carla Service and Dance A Vision, Fua Dia Congo and more. Tickets are $20 adults and $10 children, 12 and under.
Tim Barsky, a San Francisco musician and Jewish storyteller, returns to the Oakland Metro stage this weekend with a new production, "Invisible Cities."
Barsky is perhaps best known for his work interpreting Dante's "Inferno" through the critically acclaimed play "Bright River." In that play, Barsky combined an assortment of beat-boxers, classical and jazz musicians and his own unique voice to create a performance so compelling its run was extended for several weeks as shows continued to sell out.
"Invisible Cities," presented by Everyday Theatre and Epic Arts, also incorporates beat-boxing, body percussion and spoken word into a stage performance. Barsky joins Mina Liccione and Mike "Each" Tinoco on a journey through a set of narratives about San Francisco and Oakland.
The stories are about the streets, the buildings and, mostly, the people.
"Invisible Cities" is playing today and Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Oakland Metro, 201 Broadway. Tickets can be purchased by calling 644-2204 or visiting http://www.epicarts.org/invisiblecities.

This weekend, you might notice that the humble coaster beneath your drink has a surprising message. Unlike the fool sitting next to you at the bar, the verses on your coaster are lucid, articulate and wise.
Paul Christiansen, a poet and graduate student at Florida International University, spearheaded the poetry coaster project. It's part of O, Miami, a month-long poetry festival with the goal of exposing everyone in Miami-Dade to a poem in April.
Fifteen thousand coasters have been placed at South Florida bars, restaurants and snack counters, including Lester's, Broken Shaker at Freehand Miami, Flanigan's North Miami, Buena Vista Deli, Gramps, The Tipsy Boar and Billy's Pub Too.
Connecting poetry and spirits doesn't seem like much of a stretch considering the fondness of many writers across time for "spiritual" inspiration, whether that inspiration came in the form of absinthe, whiskey or rum.
So while you're pondering life at the bar this weekend, order up a libation and consider the wistful words of W.B. Yeats. Now there's a drinking buddy:
A Drinking Song
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
Whether you're ignoring the overzealous suitor next to you or trying to make conversation with a new friend, a poet like A.E. Stallings can be your companion at the bar. Let poetry be your wing man.
Two More Cocktail + Poetry Events
Friday, April 26th: Kevin Young read poems of food and drink at The Broken Shaker. Tom Healy and Kevin Riley read from Animal Spirits, a book about tattoos and poetry. There will also be a pop-up tattoo parlor.
Saturday, April 27th: WLRN-Miami Herald News hosts a reading of poetry from the That's So Miami project at B Bar at The Betsy. Winners of the That's So Miami contest will also be announced.

Sooner or later every celebrity stops by Sesame Street. Here are some of our favorite guest stars from the early years.
What's bad about this cover of "Survivor"? Pretty much everything. What's great about the video? The attempt to distract you with her "coconuts".
This edition is inspired by those freaks who hang out at Venice Beach. We pitty those talented fools.
In theaters 4-11-08. Tom Ludlow is a veteran LAPD cop who finds life difficult to navigate after the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he's been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.
Robbers On High Street have been kicking around the New York rock scene for a number of years now, but if you ask us they're going to be a household name after the release of their latest record, Grand Animals, due out on July 24th. So yeah this is a sneak peek into what the album has in store, and you heard it at Live at LG first!
Show this to your kids so they don't invest all their Piggy Bank money with a psychopath like Bernie Madoff!

The Red Part.
The sermon is on living eternally and I can't recommend it enough. He's an amazing preacher and walks the talk in the Simi Valley area of California where he lives.
I'm a visual learner so when he used this analogy, it really stood out to me and I thought I'd share it with you.
Mr. Chan held up a long, long piece of rope stretched all across the stage where he was speaking. He asked the church to imagine if the rope wound round and round the room, filling it up and then went out the door. It then went round and round the city, state and even the world.
It would be a pretty long rope.
At one end was about an eight inch section in the rope that was painted red.
Our eternal lives are represented by the rope. The red part, that took up just a fraction of the whole thing, represented our lives on earth. That small part, in relation to the whole, is what we, even as Christians, spend the majority of time thinking about. Living for. Wanting to make as perfect as possible - as painless as possible.
We are consumed with things that effect only the red part, our little vapor, and they will be gone in a breath. Even more, the way we live in the red part has an effect on what our life will be like for the rest of eternity.
My eyes are often fixed on things that have zero percent eternal value - what I wear, what my house looks like, what I eat, or drink, or how much is in our savings account. Actually, I don't spend much time on that one because it sometimes makes my stomach hurt, but the others can consume me before I even realize it. And the truth is, I can talk a really good game. But what am I thinking about, worrying about, or doing with my time? How am I walking, not just talking?
As we get ready to start our summer, my hope is that I can learn to get my eyes off the red part and back onto what matters - and I will know, we all will know, the unspeakable joy found only in Christ.
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
Please let it be over soon!
Whatever they were, the effects have long worn off and I am under the pile.
Milk Duds and Diet Coke just do not supply the amount of energy required to get through church planting, graduation, baseball, end of the year parties, and parties, and parties and stalking celebrities in and around Dallas.
Yesterday, as Graham was finishing baseball practice, Mark Cuban and his buddies were taking the field.
So, being ever prepared like the Girl Scout I never was, I snapped a few or sixty seven pictures.
Oh, Mark, I kid. But if you're looking for someone to take care of your pool this summer while you and your legal team work out this little hiccup, just give me a call. My kids would be more than happy to help you out.

Better by the day.
We had our appointment with the orthopedist this morning and he put her in a full on bigger than life CAST.
When I was little you chose between itchy and very itchy. She had about 25 different colors to choose from. That little bonus added about 45 minutes to our appointment time. It was actually ok because there are so many, many fun things to do in the waiting room of a dr.'s office that the time just flew by. I also love that it's like waiting patiently in a petri dish for ebola to take over our bodies.
In the end, she chose this.
Uncle Bryan is fighting in the war. Every time I look at it, it will remind me to pray for him..."
I think they may have put the cast on too tight.

Give a man a fish...
Mr. Nguyen loves Trey and often invites him over when he and his friends are celebrating a Vietnamese holiday or day off from work.
Our favorite memory was when Trey had joined the men for some dinner and were sitting on the floor around a steaming pot of something delicious but unknown drinking Heineken's, Mr. Nguyen's beer of choice. Trey couldn't communicate at all and so every so often, they would stop their conversation, turn to him in unison and yell "Cheers". They would all raise their beers in a toast and then go right back to their conversation. Eventually, they pulled out a Karaoke machine and began performing to various Vietnamese artists. After a while, they put on the only American song they had, and encouraged Trey to sing his heart out...to "Oops, I did it again." by Brittany Spears.
Trey was dying but appreciated their friendship and their efforts to include him. He pulled Tee to his side and laughed his way through the whole song. They love him for it to this day.
Mr. Nguyen, along with Trey, loves him some fishing. The other day, he and his son went to a lake just north of here and brought home a catch and a half.
Trey walked across the street to admire the cooler full o' fish and Mr. Nguyen, who was already frying up the Striper, offered him some.
Now, the Nguyen's can cook and whenever they're making eggrolls or shrimp, we beg for some because it's so delicious so Trey of course said yes.
Mr. Nguyen sent over this. I think we were hoping it would be more of the fried variety.
I said no. Was that wrong?
Ya'll have a great day.

One fail swoop.
We also talked a good bit about breast feeding in front of my two girls who were totally listening but pretending not to listen and instead be completely consumed by the new delicious baby and her new bouncy seat.
With her curiosity piqued beyond her ability to ignore, Olivia peppered me with all kinds of questions on the way home from baseball practice yesterday.
"Mom, I know the Bible says you're supposed to wait until you get married to have babies but how does your body know?"
"Know what, small innocent child who I'm not ready to have this conversation with yet?"
"You know, that you're married. You know, 'cause then, when you're married you can get a baby. How does your body know?"
Wait for it...
"And Mom, if you can't have a baby until you're married, how did Kel and Lillian get a baby? And Cormelias? and Tanisha?"
Oh, my goodness, THINK FAST! "How 'bout a Slurpee?" "What if the moon was made of cheese?" "How much wood could a wood chuck chuck?" FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, GIVE ME SOMETHING I CAN USE!!
Nothing worked. She had started down a road and there was no going back. A road that made her laugh hysterically, squirm, and unfortunately for her momma, ask more and more questions.
I answered anything she asked - mostly because she wasn't buying my go-to response of "God magic".
"You mean (counting silently to herself) you and Daddy did that four times?"
"Yes, Baby, four."
At the end of our very frank conversation, I said, "Olivia, I'm so thankful I got to tell you about all of this. It means a lot for a mom or dad to be able to tell their kids about sex so I want you to keep this just between you and me. You don't need to talk with your friends or your siblings about because we want their mommy's and daddy's to have the opportunity to have a great conversation like we just did. And if you promise to always come to me first with any of your questions, I promise to always be honestly and straightforward about anything you want to know. Deal?"
"Mom, one more thing...Is Santa real?"

Piled on top of all of these events is Dea's upcoming graduation. I thought it would be years before I would be attending a Baccalaureate but we've found ourselves smack in the middle of the festivities.
That should adequately explain the lack of posting. On the bright side, I have months of things to write about. In the dog days of August, we may still be talking about the end of May - or how green Olivia's hair is from all the chlorine, either one.
First on the list of Senior activities was prom. Pinkston's prom was last weekend and I was heartbroken to be out of town. I would have given my right arm to help chaperone 'cause anyone who doesn't actually know me might totally believe I am a beacon of coordination. I've been working on my "Stanky Leg", my "Dougie", and my "Superman" all year and would have loved a chance to show them off. I can totally dance and my sweet, sweet moves might have won me Prom Queen all over again. Totally.
Or a swirlie in the bathroom toilet.
Dea went without a date. So did his best friend Charles. Let me just say right now that Dea and Charles have known each other since they were little, they're best friends. I'd never met the kid until about a week and a half ago which helps explain the whole, he's my cousin, she's my auntie, he's my brother thing. For Dea, a text or comment on MySpace every once in a while practically makes you family.
Two girls who were "ABSOLUTELY NOT THEIR DATES" drove in a separate car. They took pictures with the girls, ate dinner with the girls, and hung out with the girls. But they were, "NOT THEIR DATES." Mostly because Dea said they talk too much.
We worked hard on putting together Dea's suit and he felt as dashing as he looked.
Charles may have worked a little harder.
He had on a white suit with 'King Charles' airbrushed across the front. He had matching tangerine crocodile shoes and a crown design in the back of his hair.

What I wouldn't give for a dull moment.
I did know the other child, it was Sadie, and they were absolutely NOT doing their homework because then it would be called a homework room and how ridiculous would that be.
Homework room, please.
They called down for me to come watch their latest escapade. I'd hoped it was finding all the Lego pieces to the Star Wars Imperial Destroyer. Can't a girl dream? What they were actually doing was taking all the pillows off of the couch, stacking them up into a tall tower and hurdling over them.
Does anyone know right now where this is going?
Olivia went first...Run, Hurdle, Land, Crack, Scream.
I actually heard a crack - maybe a pop, or a snap to be more specific - and immediately knew we would be spending the rest of the night in the E.R. of Children's Hospital.
Always looking for that opportunity to learn something new, I payed very close attention to the goings-on in the E.R.
1. Always pack snacks. I actually saw a mom take a swig of milk out of her son's sippy cup. That's desperation if I ever saw it.
2. A family of four can consume 26 pixie stix over the course of 4 hours and still all fall asleep, sitting up in the waiting room chairs, despite the sugar.
3. A woman can get so bored in the E.R. waiting on an X-Ray that she'll count the number of Pixie Stix consumed by above family.
4. Said woman can also be so bored that she colors the dot-to-dot pictures in her daughter's coloring book - using shading and blending techniques so that the image "jumps off the page".
5. When the family that was sitting next to you is approached by a nurse, asked to move to a partitioned part of the waiting room, and put on paper masks, you will nonchalantly, but thoroughly bathe in hand sanitizer.
6. No matter how much pain a child is in because she did actually break a bone in her foot, when a nurse says the word "crutches", that child will beam from ear to ear.

Double digits.
Tee turned 10 with one request - Krispy Kreme for his class at lunch.
That would be reason number 1,232,564,644,430 why I love this child.
Oh, and a corn snake. I kinda liked the story with just the one request.
His daddy was thrilled beyond belief to oblige.
The snake came with these...
I found them in the freezer this morning, next to the Eggo Waffles. Do you know what those are? If you do, please pray for me. If you don't, I feel our relationship will only continue to grow if you allow me to keep you in the dark on a few things.
Another tradition we've learned in the 'hood is the "birthday dollar". When it's your birthday, you safety pin a dollar to your shirt and all day, people - friends or total strangers - will give you a dollar. Darius gave Tee his first of the day.
Then, at the end of the day, you walk over to Jan's and get some wings, or Big Red, or Hot Cheetos, or if you can stealthly lift a dollar off your child, some Milk Duds.
Happy Birthday, Buddy!

I'm over here today.
I'm over at the Dallas Morning News Mom's Blog today, writing about my mom.
And still loving Arizona...and wishing I'd invented sunscreen. We're using it by the truckload.

I've never seen two children more excited about a Sprite and honey roasted peanuts in my life. Please remind me of their penchant for these things when it comes time to do a little Christmas shopping this year. As a matter of fact, I may just stick a few packs in my purse on our way back and call it done.
Dallas has exactly 6.8 days of Spring each year and there are actually days where you might need to throw a sweater on for about half the day so as I was packing, I kept thinking I needed to make sure I brought some sweaters/jackets for the kids.
We got off the plane and it was 100 degrees. I think my mascara melted off.
But, you know, it's a 'dry heat', kind of like fire, so we're all good.
Actually, we're having a great time. The kids have been swimming for fifteen hours straight. They ate dinner in the pool, brushed their teeth in the pool, and finally fell asleep in the pool. Not really but they did basically pass out at 7:30 last night.
This morning, they were up at 6:30 swimming in the pool. The great thing is, there's absolutely no need for bathing with this much chlorine. Can I get an Amen?

Worth a thousand words.
From preschool.
Chapel School to be specific.
Once a week, mom's take their kids to Chapel School and teach them phonics, language, math, art, and cooking.
I've done it with all of my kids and love, love, love it.
And now we've graduated.
I cried big ugly tears.
Sadie asked if I wanted to wear her hat.

Because 1+1=2
And you were right. But I love me some Mercy Street Ministries, West Dallas, inner-city kids, and the foxy Executive Director who happens to be the father of my children.
Now I may not be very good at math but I can do some simple addition and I know that 2 is more than 1. On May 20th, The Communities Foundation of Texas and The Dallas Foundation are launching what's called Donor Bridge. On that day, a dollar-for-dollar match will be given for every gift to Mercy Street made through www.donorbridgetx.org. Online donations are made with a credit card and any gift from $25 to $2,5000 is eligible for matching funds while they last.
To learn more and donate, visit www.donorbridgetx.org
This is a rare opportunity to make your giving go even further and impact the lives of inner-city kids who desperately need to know the relentless love and hope of Christ.
For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'
Matthew 25:35-40

Oh, this bleeding heart.
As we were driving home the other day, we almost ran over, and therefore felt obliged to pick up, take home, bathe, and feed this...
My kids called it ARK as in Almost Road Kill.
He lasted for about 45 minutes until my children became engrossed in an episode of Spongebob Squarepants and he escaped through a hole in our fence. I think he'd had enough of Sadie trying to clean his shell with a sponge and Bath and Body Works Ginger Body Scrub and decided to get the heck outta dodge.
The kids were watching Spongebob as part of our research on the various trends and societal impact of such cartoons on our nation's youth. Over the summer, my children will be writing a thesis, composing a power point presentation, and then presenting their findings to the entire family. For a grade.
Or, I was trying to cook dinner and needed them to be occupied to the point of comatose. Either one.
While making dinner, Hannah stopped by. She seemed amused that I was doing this...
One of our Betta fish, no name, apparently has an issue with his swim bladder. I know this because I Googled it so the information I found was tantamount to the gospel.
He/she/it only swims sideways and floats to the top.
Google said it's constipated. The cure for Betta fish constipation is fasting it for two days and then feeding it a cooked shelled pea. Unfortunately, the pea sinks and the fish can only float so I have to feed it with my hand. It's no problem because I really don't have anything else to do.
So far, nothing but a happy, floating Betta fish. I would put it out of it's misery with one flush but Google also said it's totally painless, just annoying to the fish.
Unlike my trainer on Wii Fit. He's both annoying and painful.

A woman woke me at nearly 9 pm asking for my brother who does not live at my address. She refused to identify herself or leave a message, saying "we'll just call again." I am turning off my phone ringer. I am on the Do Not Call List but apparently this is irrelevant to some people.

A woman called from this number but also sounded like a recording at times. She never really answered my questions with direct answers. She was looking for donations for Breast Cancer Research and Support Fund, but could not tell me if it was a local fund or where it was located. It just said it was a nationwide fund. The woman or recording finally gave up and wished me a good day.

An officer-involved shooting after a hit-and-run accident north of Denver has left one man hospitalized.
Colorado State Patrol investigators say they were responding to a hit-and-run crash early Monday in the Commerce City area and located a driver.
According to KMGH-TV, the driver ran and investigators believed the person was armed. At some point, a state patrol trooper fired on the suspect. No details have been released about the suspect's injuries.
A mile of Interstate 270 was closed between interstates 25 and 76 for several hours during the investigation.

Running Sysbench Benchmark on MySQL using Solid State Drives and ZFS
By blueprints on Feb 23, 2009
By Roger Bitar, Systems Technical Marketing
IntroductionAs a follow up to the previous Sysbench benchmark that ran on Solaris UFS, we re-ran the benchmark using ZFS filesystem on the same setup and configuration. Solaris ZFS does not allow the forcedirectio option as with UFS. We followed the "ZFS Best Practices Guide" recommendations. Namely, we limited the size of the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) to 1GB, and we set the ZFS recordsize to 16K as it matches the Innodb page size. We used the same MySQL configuration file "my.cnf" that was used in the previous UFS test.
Results on Solaris ZFSThe following TPS (transactions per seconds) results were obtained for read only operations:
The following latency results were obtained, smaller is better:
- We obtained better results when we used UFS, because of the forcedirectio option used when mounting the filesystem. ZFS does not have this option, instead we limited the ARC cache to 1GB in the /etc/system file.
- Again, SSDs demonstrated a significant advantage (up to 7x) for this read-only workload in environments where memory was constrained when using smaller innodb_buffer_pool_size.
- Database transaction latency is much better (30x) when using SSDs compared to HDDs.
- The best results with this type of workload are obtained on regular disks along with ample main memory. SSDs come a close second, even when main memory is severely constrained. Throughput is significantly worse when regular disks are combined with insufficient buffer memory.

Business Insider: Dollar Signs in Poinciana
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 10:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 10:03 p.m.
Representatives of Dollar General are planning talks with Polk County Planners about a new store in Poinciana at Marigold Avenue and Palmetto Street, expanding retail farther south than it is now. Stay tuned on how this goes. A proposal last month for a Family Dollar even farther south in Poinciana was withdrawn before it ever got to the table, for undisclosed reasons. There has been demand for bringing shopping into the Polk County side of Poinciana to make it more convenient for the growing number of residents there.

3 Tips for Keeping Up to Date with Product Safety
Filed under: Tip of the Day
If you haven't been paying attention to product safety in the promotional products industry, you're missing a growing trend: sell children's apparel that doesn't meet regualtions, pay a hefty fine. Or, in some cases like Hung Lam, president of Miami-based LM Import-Export Inc., go to jail.
Just today Counselor PromoGram is reporting that the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced that retailer Ross Stores has agreed to pay a $3.9 million fine for repeated violations regarding the sale of children's apparel with drawstrings.
But what can your business do to ensure you're selling products that meet industry regulations? For starters you can read this very helpful Q&A with Prime Line CEO Rick Brenner on what distributors need to know today to ensure products they provide to clients are safe. Also helpful: this month's Counselor feature on ever-changing category that is kids' products.
And in the meantime, here are three tips to help you keep up with regulations:

5 Types of Bling for Promo Products
Filed under: Tip of the Day
Ever since hip-hop culture ushered in the term "bling-bling" back in the mid-90's, it has been used so much to describe flashy or elaborate jewelry and accessories that it's now permanently part of the mass culture. Heck, even my grandmother used the word once when she saw a shirt my five-year-old daughter was wearing that had sparkles on it. "She's got some bling on today." (Really, gram?)
So pervasive has "bling" become that it's also firmly part of the promotional products industry, often accentuating logos and adding a little zest to the finished product. This month's Advantages magazine "Advantages University" feature focuses exclusively on bling and how it's used in this biz. Click here for the 4-1-1 on bling, and in the meantime here's 5 types of bling used in the industry:

Poll Results: How Much Vacation Are You Taking This Summer?
Filed under: Poll Results
Wow, we sure have some workaholics in this industry. I always knew promotional products professionals worked hard, but when it comes to vacations, I figured they vacationed hard too. According to our latest poll results, however, that doesn't seem like the case.
On May 1 we posed the question: How much vacation are you planning to take this summer? Answer options, including votes and percentage, were as follows:
Looks like a long, hard summer ahead for some of us. That's too bad … I'll be thinking of y'all as I hike Yosemite in August. Cheers!

Top 10 Apparel Exporters
Filed under: Tip of the Day
It's no surprise that China has dominated the apparel manufacturing landscape, but could changing conditions like rising transportation costs cause a shift in power? Unlikely, but China's loosened grip has certainly opened up more opportunity for other countries. This month's Wearables magazine cover story "To Every Corner Of The World" examines how some countries are looking elsewhere to source garments. It's a great read and answers a lot of questions, including: Which countries are apparel companies turning to now for production?

Islamabad, Sept 17: A Pakistani court has warned authorities in Karachi from demolishing a 200-year-old Hindu temple, a report said. According to a report published in The Dawn newspaper recently, the Sindh High Court stopped the Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and others from demolishing the Shri Laxmi Narayan Mandir at the Native Jetty Bridge. A bench led by Chief Justice Mushir Alam instructed a court official to inspect the temple and give a report on its state within seven days.
A constitutional petition was filed by a resident, Kailash Wishram, on the temple premises pointing out that a private firm, along with the KPT, had begun construction work which blocked access to seawater, which was an essential part of offering prayer at the temple. The petition said that the construction work was not only threatening the temple but also the minority rights. It also said that the temple was built ages before partition and Hindus have been performing rituals for a long time.
The secretary of the ports and shipping ministry, the chairman of the KPT and a private firm which ran a food joint under the bridge were named the respondents.
Wishram said that the construction was being made at the behest of Mukesh Chawala, the provincial minister of excise and taxation and a Hindu Panchayat member, said The Dawn report.

Federer levels record (Times Now)
The venue was different, the opponent was different but the result was the same. It was another smashing win from the racquet of Roger Federer in the finals of the Dubai Open against Mikhail Youzhny, and the Swiss ace crossed another milestone.
This despite a shaky start that saw Youzhny break Federer in the opening game and go up 2-0. But Federer shot back into the match in typical fashion, breaking Youzhny's serve and putting him back on track at 2 games each. Another break in the tenth game of the match and Federer had sealed the first set.
A win at Dubai puts the champion on par with Bjorn Borg's 4th highest total of most consecutive victories. And even as the Swedish legend watched from the stands, Federer broke in the second and sixth games of the second set to record his 41st consecutive victory. Guillermo Vilas with 47, Ivan Lendl with 44 and John McEnroe with 42, are the only players ahead of Federer with most consecutive wins.
Federer ties 4th-longest Open-era streak (New Hope Courier)
No sooner does Roger Federer break one record than he seems to set his sights on another.
A few days after making it 161 consecutive weeks as world number one, breaking the record held by Jimmy Connors, the Swiss maestro defeated Russian Mikhail Youzhny in Saturday's Dubai Open final to equal Bjorn Borg's total of 41 wins in a row.
Record-setting Federer makes it four out of five in Dubai (Jurnalo)
Roger Federer stormed to his fourth title in five years at the Dubai Duty free on Saturday, his 6-4, 6-3 win over Russian Mikhail Youzhny pulling the Swiss level with Bjorn Borg in the record books.
World number 1 Federer stretched his current win streak to 41 straight matches, tying the Swede's mark set in 1979-1980.
Should he repeat his triumph at the Indian Wells Masters which ends in a fortnight at a desert venue in California, the 25-year-old world-beater would equal the all-time record of 46 victories on the trot from Argentine Guillermo Vilas from 1977.
Federer's win streak now at 41 (The Saginaw News)
Roger Federer won the Dubai Open for the fourth time in five years on Saturday, beating Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-4, 6-3 in the final.
Federer won his 41st straight match, tying Bjorn Borg for the fourth-longest streak in the Open era and leaving him five short of Guillermo Vilas' 1977 record. Ivan Lendl (44 in 1981-82) and John McEnroe (42 in 1984) also are in front of Federer.
Federer's Streak Reaches 41 Matches (Playfuls)
Roger Federer extended his amazing winning streak to 41 matches Saturday by winning the Dubai Tennis Championships. Federer defeated Mikhail Youzhny 6-4, 6-3 to win his seventh consecutive tournament. He is 12-0 this year, a stretch that includes the Australian Open.
His last setback came in the second round of the Masters Series tournament in Cincinnati last August.
Is it lip gloss time? Are you getting interviewed on TV? I am going to put on the Tennis Channel and see if that's where you are?
