In a way I have been writing pieces of a memoir for years on this blog. Indeed, I have been recording my life and sharing it publicly, and at many different points I thought that I had a story to tell, one that would resonate with other readers. Recently I have been thinking about why I have not yet taken on the challenge of putting all the pieces together and fashioning out an organized publication. Most memoirs that I read and enjoy, tell a story of memories and resilience in the face of adversity, which come in various forms including difficult or abusive childhoods, catastrophes or life tragedies. I have no doubt that many people who write memoirs also work through issues in their life, dealing with grief, or trying to understand how their lives panned out.
In therapy, and in this blog, I work through my issues, deal with grief, and understand how and why I made the life choices I made. At times I even marvel at my resilience in the face of various adversities, and how I become more aware of why I have done the things I did, or how my relationships developed. Indeed, I have uncovered most of the family myths and secrets during all the years of self-work, and have allowed myself to confront some of the most painful situations. I am even able to understand how the past affects my personal or professional relationships in the present. There is no doubt in my mind that this type of self scrutiny has helped me become more confident, self actualized, and empowered.
Today I no longer have a need to create a formal memoir. My story is not more unique than so many others out there. I feel fortunate and grateful that I have been able to survive and, indeed, thrive personally and professionally. These realizations have given me a new kind of patience, acceptance, and inner peace for my life going forward, and I am developing courage that will help me formulate different stories as I enter older age.
Here, for example, is a short one: In June I was visiting my 98-year-old mother in Israel. The two weeks were filled with all kinds of complex feelings: sorrow at seeing her large and vibrant life fading away, amazement at her lucidity and wisdom, pain at remembering some of the ways I wished she had noticed me when I was young. During the last week of my visit, my mother wanted me to know the name of one of the flowers she especially likes. My mother was always an avid gardener. I learned to love gardening directly from her through her enthusiasm as she shared wonder and delight about this or that flower, creeper or different colored leaves of plants in her yard. Now that she is bed-ridden and unable to physically tend the earth, her carer gardens for her according to her instructions and ideas. Outside the window of her bedroom is a piece of land full of exotic plants and flowers - some in pots and others directly in the ground. As I walked through the garden, I was filled with wonder and love at her energy and enthusiasm even at this grand old age of 98 years. During that last week together, she wistfully mentioned the one type of flower in her garden, and longed to remember its name.
Yesterday I visited a dear friend in Princeton. It had been a painful couple of weeks for me as I transitioned to a new position at work, and after I had finished setting up my new office, my friend offered me comfort and support in her home sharing a fine lunch of quiche and salad, including a desert of tiny mini-eclairs filled with luscious cream. When we had done eating and talking, we looked through her large windows into her garden. She pointed out some new flowers she had planted recently - daisy-like in bright oranges and browns - and she named them: Gaillardias. Instantly I remembered the flower my mother had described to me in June, and marveled at how she had longed to remember its name. I said to my friend, "I will buy some this week and plant them in my garden in my mother's name."
As I write this, I smile and think of how grateful I am to my mother for modeling such a love of plants, and especially for how much comfort I received yesterday from discovering the name of one of her favorite flowers.

Quote of the day:
When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. Eli Weisel
I sink my teeth into a meat-loaf sandwich neatly cut diagonally in half, and slightly flavored with a smidge of ketchup. It is one of three food items perfectly prepared, separated, and packaged each in a small plastic bag: a hard boiled egg, two walnut fudge brownies, and the meat loaf sandwich. I sit in the airport lounge early in the morning; my eyes still drooping with unfinished sleep, while hundreds of people bustle to and fro around me coming and going between food stalls and airline flight gates. I feel warm and cared for. Like a child, whose mother stayed up late the night before, placing in a brown bag all the food she had carefully prepared for me while I slept. She was thinking of my tiring journey ahead and wanted me to sense through her tender gifts of special food that home was never far away, even as I chose to stray far afield. I sit on the hard chair by the table outside the security check point, where I had come through rushing chaotically with hundreds of others, frenziedly pulling off shoes, jackets, and dragging out laptops and plastic bags of toiletries to place in large, plastic, grey trays on conveyor belts. Walking through the screening gate, machines beep and whistle as security agents pull me aside to full-body check me only to discover I had forgotten to remove my necklace in the mad dash through. Exhausted and drowsy from rising at the edge of dawn to make it in time to the airport, I munch on the sandwich staring vacantly ahead at nothing in particular, and as I start to relax an overwhelming feeling of gratitude envelops me to the point of tears. I realize that I cannot remember when anyone in my own family had so lovingly made me such a food parcel to take on my way anywhere. Indeed, I fended for myself – alone - from as far back as I can remember. I silently give thanks to my mother-in-law for the care she has shown me with my goodie bag – not only for today in the Seattle airport on my way home to Philadelphia – but for all the tins of Christmas cookies she sends me year after year in December just because she knows I like them so much. Gratitude in that moment gives me renewed energy and exhaustion drifts away. In its place I discover a stronger sense of self-worth, and now when I stare ahead I notice women and men, young and old, families with children, a man walking his dog, and a couple hand in hand. I feel a part of the human family around me, knowing that home in Seattle is never far away even as I set out for my own in Philadelphia.
Gratitude is key to a sense of self-worth and belonging, I realize. There is joy and hope in feeling grateful for who we are, what we have, and how we give and receive. It washes away bitterness and ancient wounds, and helps me open myself up to love.

Driving down the road the other day, reflecting on this or that personal situation happening in my life, I suddenly experienced a rush of emotion that tapped into an old feeling from childhood. It brought tears to overflowing, and surprised me so much that I exclaimed out loud alone in the car: "Please don't hurt me. I want you to love me." I realized then and there how much I had longed for my mother to love me even when she disapproved of my behavior, or if my self expression was not what she wanted to hear. Perhaps I needed her support especially because I was struggling to find my own identity even if it meant pushing against her will.
Mother's Day is upon us, and it has me thinking about mothering in the broadest sense, especially since the other day at a coffee shop where I had gone to write, I witnessed a young mother being harsh with her young child.
One of the core challenges in parenting or teaching young children is creating boundaries for them without repressing their authentic emotional selves. Please don't hurt them - they want us to love them. That's the dance - the constant negotiation.
We want our children to be safe and successful, and act like we know the way to get there. We have learned from our parents and our own mistakes. We have learned what to fear and what not to care about in order to survive and become successful ourselves. We have developed a perspective and world view about how children should behave and what constitutes success in general. We pour our fears, biases and survival skills all over our smallest children, and try to formulate little people in our own image. We do all of this with good intentions and love ... whatever that is. Because what do we know about love other than the way we have been loved?
Are we loving in the same way we were loved, or are we trying not to do what was done to us? Whatever all that amounts to - do we really know who our children are? Or what they aspire to? Or what they fear or long for? So much of what they do is either to please or push against us depending on their developmental age and fears. At the core of a young child must be a feeling that they cannot express: "Please don't hurt me. I want you to love me." For young children need our love to survive, but they also want us to love them for who they are - for their unique constellation of characteristics and personality - for the complex configuration of genes from generations ago and from right now.
Can we love them fat or thin, shiny or sad, angry and grumpy, joyous and loudly enthusiastic? Can we rejoice in their independent thinking, sexuality and smarts, support their confusion and insecurities, and not take it personally? As they find out who they are, what they need or desire, and how to express themselves emotionally, can we be there for them with full attention, love and support for that exploration?
The process is complex to be sure, for how much do we really know ourselves? Are we aware of how our own early childhood affected our world view, or are those memories already repressed somewhere deep in our psyche? What do we do to get in touch with those feelings, and if we recognize them, how much do we allow ourselves to face them?
How do we allow our children to follow their heart all the while loving them for it, even when they are so different from who we are?

I had the weirdest sensation on Sunday morning as I prepared to walk in the Wissahickon Valley. I hooked up my earphones and opened the Map-My-Walk app to record how many miles I would go. As I set out, music started playing from the playlist I created for my four to six mile walks, each song or melody reaching into my brain much like a meditation as I strode out into the spring day. It was the perfect spring day with cool temperatures and an almost clear blue sky above the tall, old trees lining the Wissahickon creek. Leaves turning the softest shades of green and some trees or shrubs bursting out in pale, pink or white blossoms. Along the way people were arriving onto the path as if tumbling out of their wintry stupors to soak in the fresh, hopeful air of rebirth everywhere around us. Some accompanied by dogs of all shapes and sizes, others jogging, cycling, riding astride the odd horse or two, or walking steadily along Forbidden Drive like me.
Out of the blue, I felt something strange happening around my wrists and ankles - something I had never felt before. It was as if iron shackles were snapping apart and releasing me. So vividly real was the feeling, that I could hear the irons clanking open, and I almost stumbled with the force as they broke apart. I stood still briefly experiencing the sensation, and tears of joy and relief filled my eyes. A rush of freedom washed over me, and I started to walk again. This time, my step was light and I seemed to flow forward along the path with a force of energy the likes of which I have not experienced before. I might have thought I had dreamt it all except that the feeling of freedom and relief stayed with me for the full two hours of my walk, and even through the brunch I treated myself to in the little coffee shop at the end of the trail - a full three miles before returning on the second half of the walk for the next three miles. Indeed, even two days later, the full force of that feeling has remained with me.
I am still not quite sure what it portends, and there will be time to process it further going forward, but one thing is sure, I am letting go of something big within me. After all, I have been a prisoner of my mind and ancient paradigms for long enough, and the old rules that helped me survive as a child clearly no longer apply to me.

Have I been so busy that a month has passed me by without writing on this blog? I know there were travels across the country and many presentations, that's true. But what about all the thoughts and feelings wandering through my brain while these things were happening? I know I thought of many blog posts even as my days were full of this and that.
Ah, and there's always the book that I am writing. That takes up much of my time, for it fills my thoughts throughout the days, accompanying me on trips to the grocery store, on my walks, and at times even when I am chatting with neighbors. I had forgotten what it is like to be all consumed with my literary endeavors, and I am so privileged this semester to have the time to do just that: allow myself to be consumed.
Apart from all of that though, this past month I have found peace of mind about my early childhood and the connections with the present reality. It started in March in Oxford, although it had been a long time coming through all the psychological work that I have been doing on myself over the years. I felt it in my presentations this past month, and as I stride out on my daily four-mile walk. I sense it as I take care of myself more and more - whether it is in preparing a variety of salads for dinner just for me alone while Life Partner is away on his travels; or sleeping in until six in the morning - one hour later than usual! Something has shifted within me.
It has taken a long time getting here, and continues to be a process of uncovering the inner workings of my emotional memory. I understand the reasons why. Some might call it forgiveness. Forgiveness for the people who hurt me so deeply - who broke my heart over and over again - forgiveness for myself for some of the choices I made. I call it understanding with my emotional brain - not the rational one. Understanding in my guts, if you will. Understanding that people who broke my heart knew not what they did. They had unresolved emotional issues, which they took out on me because I was so willing to believe their truths - so desperate was I for their love and acknowledgement. Understanding that the choices I made were the best I could do with the undeveloped awareness I had at the time.
This type of understanding helps me heal my broken heart. It allows me to forgive myself for who I am and what I feel.

This past week, being in Oxford in my own right as an academic and intellectual, I experienced what can only be described as a feeling of closure. Indeed, it was the first time in my life that I did not yearn for acknowledgment from my mother or older brother for my accomplishments. I felt completely comfortable in my own skin: included in a community of my peers, and up to the intellectual task set before me. I wandered the streets of the ancient collegiate city, probably down the very streets that my brother had walked decades ago when he had the good fortune and privilege to study there. And, for the first time in my life, I felt akin to him, and equal in academic stature. At times I even allowed myself to feel pride in the hard work I had done these past twenty years to place me where I am today. It was a very good and solid feeling. Not arrogant or prideful - but peaceful and happy. On Friday, last week as I sat with Life Partner at a quaint but classy little pub in Hampstead, London, it suddenly occurred to me that in order to experience closure, I had to first be opened up.
It has taken years for me to face my deepest feelings about so much that went on for me as a young child. While I might have known about my situation cognitively, I would have to allow myself to feel what I felt as a child before I could truly understand what I had been through. I would have to digest the hurt, experience the pain, and confront my fears head and heart on, in order to let go and move on. It took me until my late fifties to allow myself to do this. As I write this I realize that I waited that long because I must have feared the pain. And yet, when I confronted it together with my therapist these past few years, it was not at all as excruciating as I had anticipated. Oh, there were times that I wept and raged, but when I held still and allowed myself to feel the sensations from decades prior, it became more and more manageable, always followed by a feeling of relief that was worth everything I had gone through.
My older brother died about a year and a half ago, and what with one thing and another, I was unable to attend his funeral. And so, with my trip to Oxford, I initially planned a type of pilgrimage to his grave in another town to pay my respects. I had hoped that I might experience a feeling of closure with such a visit, because of the many complex feelings that I had within the context of my past relationship with him.
However, as I walked the streets of his alma mater, it was enough for me to feel a deep sense of peace in taking my leave of him.

I am a rule follower. Yes indeed. I follow the rules. When I break them, as inevitably I do, once I think critically and independently, I feel anxious. For example, I remember when I decided that I preferred coffee over tea. I thought I was quite the rebel! For, in our family tea is the drink we drink to be social, to cure all ills, in crisis, or if there is the slightest hint of emotional discomfort. Growing up in Rhodesia, we were served daily with trays of steaming pots of strong, sweet, delicious tea. Coffee felt like a rule breaker for me - as if I had become unfaithful in toeing the party line! But, oh my - how I love it!
When I move into a different job, visit a family other than mine, or travel to a new country, and especially when I joined academia-land, I observe and learn carefully and quickly what the rules are within each and every type of culture. How to speak, what to say, when to say it, what to do, when to do it, and so on. When I first came to America, for example, I learned very quickly not to talk with my mouth full, and to suck on a breath mint immediately if there was the slightest hint that I had been eating garlic.
In my youth, when I belonged to an organization, I followed their rules! In fact, each time I became a staunch and loyal member, and expected everyone to abide by all the rules, I was as harsh on myself as I was judgmental of others. No double standards there! As I look back on my life and recall the organizations I have been a member of, I am appalled about how loyal I was - sometimes unquestioning in my obedience. It is no wonder that nowadays I am fiercely dedicated to helping students think critically for themselves, for I know intimately and personally how important it is to be able to think independently when making choices that will affect me or others close to me. I have to admit that because of my strict adherence to blind obedience that I learned as a young child at my mother's knee, I only allowed myself to entertain feminist ideology at the late age of 40.
Now that I am older it seems that there are even more rules to follow: not to drink coffee, yes to drink coffee, not to eat bread, yes to eat the right kinds of grains, not to drink wine, yes to drink red wine, to walk every day for 30 minutes or more, not to sit for too long, to do cross word puzzles or play Scrabble or lose my mind, not to be involved with social media, yes to belong to a group on Facebook, not to eat before gong to bed, yes to eat the right kinds of food before going to sleep, to sleep in the dark, not to watch television before sleeping, to read but not on Kindle, to ... the list is endless. Study after study comes out and tells me what I should or should not be doing to retain my health, grow old gracefully, or whatever it is the study shows.
All those should's and should-not's - it's exhausting.
So sometimes the best thing is to just sit quite still, breathe in and out, and toss all those rules aside. That way all those demanding, dominant voices in my brain are silenced, and I can consider what it is I want and need at that very moment.

Looking back and thinking forward. I have noticed that I reflect on the past a lot, especially in the one or two years leading up to, and for a few years after becoming sixty. Mainly the purpose of that has been to make sense of my life, and how I came to be me. It has caused much regret, but at the same time it led me down nostalgia lane.
How much better it was when ...
It seems I have dwelt in the land of yearning for awhile. And yet, for the past week or so, I think I am starting to think about retiring nostalgia and regret, and leaving them behind in the past. Over the years as I have made more sense of my earliest childhood and how I made the choices growing into an adult and beyond, I look forward to a different time. Of course, at the core I will always be the unique me, who was born almost 66 years ago. And I am sure I will retain most of my neuroses even though I understand better than ever how I tick emotionally. However, it seems to me more and more lately that the past is exactly where it needs to be. Behind me.
This older version of me has a different life ahead.
Being on sabbatical this semester has made me realize I am not anywhere ready to retire. I love the work I do, and would miss it terribly if I left it. Recently, talking with a financial advisor about retirement was an interesting experience. I noticed that all the financial advisors in the building were young people, including our own very competent and understanding fellow. There he sat, as young as could be - full of life and exuberance, bright as a button and sharp as a wit. And he gave us advice about our future - a future that was capped by a certain number of years - a future that very clearly has an end. I wondered if developmentally he understood how that feels - a future that will end ... soonish. One thing for sure though, he helped me see that the choices I make for this next piece of the journey will be very different to those of the past.
On my walk yesterday afternoon I wondered if I am really ready to give up on looking back. In a couple of months I will head out to yet another reunion. Ten years later, another group is organizing another such reunion. A time for people to gather together, gray haired and life experienced, to look into each others' eyes and seek out past memories shared together - dipping into nostalgia as never before. I remember the first one. Even as it was joyous to reconnect with old friends from the distant past, it also raised feelings of longing for a simpler, and more passionate time. It brought back regrets of lost loves and thoughts of, "If only ..." over and over again. I wonder, do I want to do that again? Really? After all, most of the people I see for an afternoon or evening, I will most likely never see again.
Is nostalgia and looking back to the past a way of me holding onto my youth? I realized recently that when I think of losing weight, I have an illusion I will become younger if I do. I mean, I say that, at my age, I am doing it for my health. But in reality, am I hoping I will become young again? For me, leaving the past behind means letting go of holding onto my youth. Bidding farewell to an era gone by. I must admit it is a bit wistful. Saying goodbye is always a bit sad. But, at the same time, letting go of the past means moving forward and onto a different future. While it may be unknown, and challenges certainly lie ahead, as I look back over my life I realize, that that never stopped me before!

Quote of the day:
Within two hours of welcoming students to a retreat on using food as a doorway to their inner lives, I ask them to list 10 criticisms they've hurled at themselves since they arrived. "Just 10?" someone usually asks. Then I introduce the concept of The Voice. I ask a few people to read their lists out loud (using the tone in which The Voice usually speaks to them). Some things I've heard: "I can't believe I came to another thing on weight." "What is wrong with me for thinking I could wear a sleeveless dress?" "My toenails are disgusting." "I'm wasting my time and I should go home." You probably wouldn't let anyone else talk to you the way you talk to yourself. You're inured to insults from this inner critic who sounds so much like you that you believe it is you. You think you're telling yourself the truth.
How do you free yourself from The Voice? You begin by becoming aware that it exists. One good way to do that is by listing the ways you've berated yourself and reading the insults out loud in the voice of The Voice, the way my students do. Next, you work on disengaging from The Voice - understanding that it isn't you. You can begin to separate from The Voice by remembering a time when you knew the delight of being happy for no reason, a moment when The Voice was silent and you were your essential self.
When you stop believing The Voice, when you know it isn't you, when you talk back to it, you are free. You have access to yourself and every thing The Voice pretends to offer, but doesn't: clarity, intelligence, strength, joy, compassion, curiosity, love. When you stop responding to the continual comments on your thighs, your value, your very existence, then you can ask yourself if you are comfortable at this weight; if you feel healthy, energetic, awake. And if the answer is no, you can ask yourself what you could do about it that would fit into your day-to-day life. What you can live with, what you can maintain. What feels good, what stirs your heart. And you can give that answer in your own voice. Geneen Roth, February 22, 2015.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about compassion. In the new book I am writing, I have been describing my pedagogical principles, and compassion features strongly. It leads me to wonder how I can get teachers of young children to understand this. Most of us growing up have not experienced much validation or respect for our emotions, so how do we know what it feels like to do that for children?
And then about a week ago, I watched Alive Inside, and was made to wonder about compassion even more. How do we help people understand about empathy and compassion when they have never experienced it themselves? Or, are some people born with a compassion gene, and others not? There are skills that can be taught: like listening without judgment, for example. But how do I teach that skill when most of us know only what it feels like to be criticized or shamed? How do I help people feel what it is like not to be judged, and thus not to judge?
Is it impossible?
I am not able to stop what Geneen Roth [above] calls, "the voice" inside my brain either. My inner critic is relentless! Therefore, I struggle to hold back my judgment of others too - just like any pre or in-service teacher I teach. I mean, I judge those who are critical of others, and who lack compassion, for goodness sake!
For the past forty years I have observed teachers and families as they interact with children. Their expectations are too many to list ... children are judged for being too much of everything:
Mostly we need people to be like us - within our own comfort zone. When they are different from us, we try and squeeze them into an obedience box of our making. We feel comfortable with those, who follow our orders, or do as they are told - forgetting that most of our expectations we learned from adults, who were critical of us when we were young. Sometimes, we reach for the opposite of what we were taught, especially if it was painful. Either way, unless we become aware and reflect about how we were brainwashed as children, we will find it impossible to learn the skill of listening without judgment, develop empathy, and become compassionate.
At the foundation of my pedagogical principles must be compassion, for it contains within it empathy, and, while we can never fully put ourselves in someone else's shoes, we can try to feel what it might be like for others. If we cannot feel what they are experiencing, at the very least we can learn to listen to them - really listen - without judgment - and hear the story as they experience it.
As I wonder out loud about all this, I can already hear caregivers and teachers wailing at me: "But there is not enough funding - we have no time to stop and listen to everyone. there is so much to be done, so much paperwork, so many expectations on us!"
So - then - it follows that one of my pedagogical principles must be:
Building time into this institutional structure for practicing listening without judgment; validation of feelings; and respect for each individual voice.

Hands down one of the best shows I've seen in Concord. This cast nailed it. Sweeney was both stoic and emotional, Lovett was morbidly hilarious, and Pirelli cracked me up. Some amazing local voices are featured (most notably Sweeney, Lovett, and Judge Turpin - though I could comment on almost every character). The orchestra was tight and the sound wasn't bad for opening night.
Don't miss this show!

2004 Ford Ranger SuperCab 2dr SuperCab Edge Rwd Styleside SB (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
After Highschool graduation it was time to upgrade over my 86 Silverado. I knew for a while I wanted a Ranger, Im impressed with way my truck handles and drives. The 3.0 is a good mixture of performance and fuel effiency. Its a solid little truck, that looks as good as it drives. The extended cab is perfect for transporting all my gear to and from school. It can hold all my fishing and camping supplies inside, out of the elemets. The Edge package gives it an awesome stance. I opted for the 2 wheel drive, over the 4 simply for the fact that I dont plan on doing any serious off-roading in it.I upgraded the head unit and rear speakers, simply because Im going through my loud music phase.
The bold styling all around with the Edge package adds to appeal. The interior is superb, and comfortable. The jump seats neatly fold away for plenty of space behind the front seats.
It's a solid truck all the way around. If your looking for a weekend warrior the 4wd will be better. The milage is pretty good for a small truck, but all the talk these days is milage. Gets 2 thumbs up from me.
Honestly, I was out looking at
a Tacoma but just couldn't get over
that front end and I found the Toyota
dealers were just too proud of their
trucks. Went by the Ford dealer on the
way home and set my eyes on a loaded
Ranger Edge. I got more serious when I
found out my brother-in-law had a 2000
Ranger with 87,000 miles and the only
problem he's encountered has been a
sensor replacement, $34.00. I was
really sold when the dealer came $4000
off the list. Drove it back to St.
Louis that same week end and by the end
of the trip, I noticed the truck really
coming alive with personality, looks,
handling. Matched with the auto and
4.10 ratio gears you c
Ride, Ford quality.. Let's face it - if
you want a truck there's only one.
Above inside mirror cockpit light.
This truck is awsome. looks
great,drives great. and i got it for
$12000 after the rebate from ford. the
ground clearence is great also.
start at the front bumper and go to the
back bumper....thats my favorite part.
make a limited slip standard
I love the truck the best purchase my
husband and I have ever made now go and
get one today and start enjoying it
I love it all I can't say just one
ive had many trucks before but this one
is my favorite one. Gas mileage is
better than the 4.0 but not hardly the
power though. very fun to drive this
truck. it has a tight sporty feel and
it has plenty of ground clearance.
ground clearance
a tad wider cab nothing else

Fusion ioFX Accelerates Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium
Published on Sunday, 15 April 2012 14:09 Written by TradersHuddle Staff
Adobe Optimizes Software for the Fusion ioFX, Delivering High Performance Real-Time Image Manipulation, Image Compositing, Video Editing and More
LAS VEGAS, April 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- [National Association of Broadcasters trade show] – Fusion-io (NYSE: FIO) announced today that the upcoming release of Adobe® Creative Suite® 6 Production Premium, Adobe's powerful new generation of post-production software, is optimized to work with Fusion's new ioFX workstation products. The Adobe enhancements enable tighter integration between the applications and the ioMemory architecture of the ioFX to accelerate Adobe After Effects® CS6, Adobe Premiere® Pro CS6, Adobe Photoshop® CS6, and other components in Adobe Creative Suite 6 software, empowering artists to rapidly perform compositing, video editing, image manipulation, and other data-intensive production work.
"Thanks to Global Performance Cache and the Fusion ioFX, After Effects users can experience a faster, more responsive workflow," said Steve Forde, After Effects product manager, Adobe Systems Incorporated. "The Fusion ioFX memory tier provides the high throughput needed to manipulate all digital content in Adobe Creative Suite 6 for real-time content creation such as image editing and compositing as well as boosts video playback, encoding and transcoding, and other data-intensive activities."
Based on the Fusion ioMemory platform, the Fusion ioFX is a new flash-based workstation memory tier for production professionals that connects via the host's PCI Express bus. Continuing to drive application acceleration for customers, the Adobe team worked closely with Fusion-io to optimize Adobe Creative Suite 6 software to take advantage of tighter integration with Fusion's new ioMemory architecture for workstations. With the resulting ultra-low-latency performance, software developers like Adobe can now integrate features like highly threaded caching for Adobe After Effects CS6, which is specifically tuned to maximize data throughput, allowing for high-resolution production.
"Adobe's team is constantly leading the way in optimizing applications, and that was very clear while working with the After Effects team to accelerate Adobe Creative Suite 6 with the new ioFX memory tier," said Vincent Brisebois, Fusion-io Performance Computing Industry Senior Director. "The Creative Suite applications are used for millions of artists worldwide, which is why we were so excited to work closely with Adobe to help digital artists move beyond the delays that can hinder creativity and storytelling. By eliminating wait times traditionally associated with image manipulation, compositing, video editing and other data-intensive tasks digital artists face, Adobe's optimizations for the ioFX allows professionals to spend more time fully engaged in the creative process."
At NAB 2012, Adobe will reveal more about Creative Suite 6 video tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Adobe After Effects CS6. Redesigned by and for editors, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 combines faster performance with a sleek, customizable user interface and powerful trimming tools that let editors work the way they want to. After Effects CS6 is faster than ever and extends users' creativity with a new 3D camera tracker, extruded text and shapes, and more. Learn more about the top new features in the upcoming Creative Suite 6, expected to ship in the first half of 2012, here:
The Fusion ioFX will be demonstrated at the NAB 2012 trade show in Adobe booth #SL2624. More information on the Fusion ioFX for workstation production can be found at http://www.fusionio.com/iofx.

A tribute to an old photographer I never knew: Ira Rosenberg

Car Show- All Fords
I love attending car shows. Either as just a spectator or participant, I have capital F, capital U, capital N.
Today (2/20/2011) I attend for the 3rd year Tucsons Fords on 4th Ave. A very good size show for the area, considering it was limited to Fords. This year I was only a spectator the Mustang wasnt ready for a show (needed a bunch of detailing).
There were a ton of newer Mustangs, nice machines, shinny inter-cooled turbos and all the tubing, all nice machines, no doubt. But there was a huge void of older Fords. I love seeing the 40′s and 50′s Fords and Mercurys.
The stars for me of this show were the Fairlanes and Galaxies. Yes there were 60 Mustangs, Shelbys, Mach Is and GT. But the lines of these longer 60′s cars are just some of the best designed, ever.
Just check these out:
67 Fairlane GT 390
Fairlane 500
XL, 500 and GT Group shot
Group Photo
There more coming up from the all Ford car show. Include a Mustang Wagon
Thanks for reading
That was a great one. I hope to see a real car show someday here in Texas.

Definitely, we used GMD prefolds and they're the most abosrbant diaper period I've encountered and didn't leak once. I'd use nothing else for nighttime especially.
--Shannon BF, CD, CS, BW, BLW SAHM to Benjamin 6/08 my "good egg" ♥ Margaret 11/12 IVF baby ♥ ^5 angels^
Jer 29:11 Blog
We use GMD. How old is your LO? Maybe you need to go up a size. Also, at night we use two hemp/cotton soakers, and never have leaks. My DS is 27 months and we've used this system since he was about 1 week old.
Gerber are crap.
You can buy GMD here: http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/diapers.htm
It's the only prefolds I use. For night time I add a hemp doubler and we never have leaks.

Where did we get the idea that in order for children to behave better, we need to make them feel worse? -Jane Nelson
Gerber are more appropriate for burp cloths IMO, I couldn't see using them as actual prefolds, they don't really fluff up. I am using some OsoCozy ones and they do a good job, they are still fluffing up after being in use for about a month, I want to try some GMD (www.greenmountaindiaper.com) since they are very highly reviewed. I have some toddler size I got on craigslist, but they are way too big for now.
J (31), married to R (31) and enjoying our DD S (12/17/2011)
GMD are from Green Mountain Diapers - they have a variety of sizes too.
DS1 S May 2008 / DS2 H Oct 2012
CD Swap FEEDBACK
To prep prefolds, wash in hot water with detergent 5-8 times. Or boil for 30 minutes in small batches with a little detergent in the pot, and wash in hot water with detergent 2-3 times. You dont have to dry after every wash but it will help them to quilt up nicely. They will get more absorbant the more you wash them.
Non-vaxing, FFing, CDing, SAHM :)
Yeah, Gerber stopped making their "cloth diapers" actually useful for cloth diapering about 20 years ago. they are rough, and poly-filled now which actually repells and makes them less useful than if they JUST had their outer layers. lol
cottonbabies.com has great prefolds at a REALLY good price. I tried several brands, and they are similar quality to the more expensive brands.
Make sure to prep them well before using. Indian prefolds need less prepping than Chinese.
My food allergy kids: Jack(9) "medically complex" and Sara(7)
I was just curious.. since you're on the topic: is there a lot of difference in absorbancy in Gmd and Cottonbabies?

Post subject: fighting a loosing battle
With my kids at bedtime...my 4yr old won't go off to sleep for at least 2hours after putting her to bed.
She's always had a problem sleeping, when she was in a room of her own she used to cry every hour til I put her in bed with me or slept in hers just to stop her crying I'm sure next door had heard enough.
She used to wake up saying I want someone with me, we ended up putting our 6yr old in with her ao they now share a room. But I now have the problem of 4yr old just being naughty and not going down to sleep. I've tried everything!! I think Its seperation from me.
She has a good routine and plenty of running around and playing and nice cuddle up story time, if I'm lucky shel fall asleep while I read but if she doesn't she just sits up and tells me she's not tired. I leave the room with her looking at a book or just cuddling a teddy then 5mins later she's getting out of bed calling me. I've taken toys away, play dates away. Atm I shut her in room for 5mins at a time but this lasts an hour a night of her crying while I hold thw door. My 6yr old is struggling as she's tired and can't sleep through it all, if I seperate the rooms again 4yr old might wake all night again. I feel I'm failing and turning into something I hate, I smack her bum most nights and I hate myself for it. I know Ita not making a difference I don't know why I do it. I've tried thw putting her back to bed without speaking etc but it never seems to work for more than one night and I'm sure thats just luck how do u cope with bedtime and siblings?

Hello! can you remember what the twigs/buds looked like over the winter months? Ash has smooth grey bark and the little tight buds (which grow on to become leaves) are black.
Hello again - from your first post I thought your pond was a new venture, but it sounds as though it's really well established. Provided there's a suitable escape route for anything which falls in and/or wants to get out, everything should be fine!
Between two and three weeks, depending a bit on weather conditions.
I have a few questions for you, though!
When did you "start" your pond?
How big is it?
Whereabouts in your garden is it?
What plants are there?
Where did the spawn come from? i.e. did a frog/toad lay it in your pond or did you bring it from somewhere else?
Newly hatched tadpoles eat the remains of their own egg sacs and then eat various algae and some semi-decaying vegetable matter before eventually becoming more-or-less carnivore, though will eat insect larvae. At a push, you could tie some small pieces of (raw) liver or red meat on a bit of string and suspend this in the pond water, though it wouldn't be a good idea to do this too much as young froglets/toadlets are very susceptible to problems caused by poor water quality.
I bet that if you google for more info as to what you could help with, food-wise, t'internet will probably come up with some ideas for you.
I've been buying British grown conference pears for weeks now and wondered how they are harvested & stored - given that it must be months since they were picked - so I googled a bit & found lots of info, which I'm sure you'd find useful too. It seems that pears don't in fact ripen on the tree!
Whenever I buy slightly under-ripe fruit, I put it in a bowl with a ripe banana because that always speeds up the ripening process. Any over-ripe bananas (I prefer to eat them when they're still a bit green at both ends) are then used to make a cake.
I think it could be butterbur.
Swallows here today! just a couple of days earlier than their arrival last year.
Perhaps you could use bamboo (several pots) to make some sort of windbreak which would help the rest of the plants. Other windbreaks could be made from wooden trellis too - and this would also give you something to use for growing things like the beans you mentioned.
Please don't do it! The whole process from spawn to the stage where any young frog could safely be released is probably about 3 months. During the whole of that time you will have to supervise closely and carefully the whole of the tadpoles'/frogs' environment to ensure their survival, and I feel sure you won't be able to do that successfully, however much you want to. Not only would there be issues over changing the water in the container as well as providing appropriate food during their various stages of development - but also there's every chance you would encourage disease amongst the developing tadpoles by having too many in a relatively small space.
The other thing that concerns me is that adult frogs naturally try to make their way back to breed in the pond where they grew up. I don't think a glass tank in a schoolroom is the right place!
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news - but Japanese Knotweed is proving to be a really serious problem in the UK now, even though it was apparently introduced as an "ornamental" in the past. If you find it, you are supposed to inform your local authority, as it is classed as a "notifiable weed". If it is found on your property, this can seriously affect the property's value, as most lenders will not authorise a mortgage where Japanese Knotweed is present, and because it can affect neighbouring properties (as in your case) it's possible that other legal situations can arise.
Before doing anything else, I'd suggest you google "Japanese knotweed". There are lots of websites which explain the situation as regards the position you inadvertently find yourself in, and there are sites which can help explain ways to try to eradicate the plant itself.
I think you probably need to wait at least a couple of years before you can be sure there'll be no residents! As Bob has already said, some birds are definitely territorial and this will make a difference. The size of the entry-hole will dictate to some extent which species will be interested. I think it's probably just as important to make sure that the site doesn't get direct sunlight, & isn't exposed to driving rain & cold winds. Probably a good idea to make sure that any rainwater which falls on to the box won't drip down over the side with the access hole - so a box with a sloping "roof" & the box itself then fixed at a slight downward angle would probably be best.

Rob Quirk, KOAA-TV: "And one year from today we will know if this a one-term or two-term president. So, I asked the president what will it take from now until then to not only win Colorado again, but reelection as well."

Tick. Tick. Tick.
A year is beginning to seem like a lifetime. The damage this man could do........
So when will America get disgusted enough with this Obama to tell him never again?
Oh really? Who died and made him king? He's such a piece of garbage. The republicans should be calling a joint press conference denouncing this.
This, coming from our "Constitutional Law 'lecturer'"
Ah yes. The words of a dictator. Didn't we hear that same type of stuff come out of WWII Germany?
He is going to overreach. It's just a matter of time.
If this ain't overreaching already what is
Congress looking for who to blame? Look in the mirror you stupid efn *rseholes. 35 or 40 appointed Czars and you said nothing. You whimpered at the thought of the media not loving you if you said something.
I'm sure I can't be the only one who has thought this but in a weird way ibama may have done more for conservatism than anyone in the history of America.
If we would get a small government President he can now say,"we really do not want to end the Dept of Ed or Dept of Enviro but we do not have a choice. We do not want to institute tough workfare laws but the last Admin left us no choice."
Nice thought anyhow.
That's above my paygrade.
However, it's not above the paygrade of the "Chief Joints of Staff," as Rita X called them.
He's threatened on at least one occaision to rule by Executive Order. Looks like that threat is becoming a promise.
And The Media will prostitute themselves before him for it.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Ah, the legendary Rita X. Haven't heard that in a while, thanks for the reminder!
The republicans are pussies, afraid of being called "racist".
I think they got in a really good batch of "Chief Joints of Staff" from the Coast guard and now they're busy looking for the Doritos stash.
If you dont like what you find, check out www.goooh.com
"Obama: "Where Congress Is Not Willing To Act, We're Going To Go Ahead And Do It Ourselves""
If the judicial and legislative branches are not willing to stop you, the people are going to go ahead and do it ourselves".
That's because Bonehead and Cantor would rather have a "campaign" issue, than actually confront Zero.
It sure is high time for Americans to CHOOSE which America should survive and thrive!!!
that's been the official directive from the Center for American Progress since ten minutes after the last poll closed in November, 2010
This fascist marxist scumbag has got to be stopped soon or there will be no real election process left in 2012 that will be able to remove him from the throne...
There is only one America.obama voters are not and never were Americans. They are in control now because more parasites, traitors, and American haters voted on November 4, 2008 than Americans did. Whether America can survive and thrive depends on the degree of sacrifice Americans are wiling to make. The answer, one way or the other, will come no later than 2013.
THAT should have been the Time's person of the year (for 2011) pick.
HEY CHAIRMAN OBAMA! YEAH YOU! When you say: "And where Congress is not willing to act, we're going to go ahead and do it ourselves. " that means that you are one or more of the following:
1.) A Dictator.
2.) A Vigilante.
3.) Guilty of Un-Constitutional actions while in office.
4.) Just another typical Democrat that doesn't obey checks and balances.
BTW, any of the above 4 are grounds for Impeachment.
That's it.
Italy also. Then it was Il Duce, now it's Il Douchebag.
Your "Constipaper Toilet Tissue" would make a wonderful gift for every member of the US Congress. You see, Congress has been constipated for the last three years, that is they just can't budget.
To help Congress, Enema Ben has been administrating Quantitative Easing in two large doses, but without noticeable results. The end solution certainly will be unpleasant.
I don't know which infuriates me more:
- O-dic-tater
- spineless, voiceless pubs
spank feels like he's wearin the milk-bone underwear lately
We really can't afford another year of this. We couldn't afford the first three. He needs to be removed from power NOW, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get that done.
Impeach, impeach, impeach.
Damn you, Congress...damn you to hell.
You people need to get off the impeachment kick. With the current makeup of the Senate, there is NO WAY IN HELL that that would ever happen. We are stuck with Chairman Zero until the next election, and even then it takes a 2/3 vote of the Senate to Impeach and there aren't enough Democrats up for re-election to make up the difference. We are stuck with the POS in Chief until January 2012 or longer guys, so cut the IMPEACH crap.
Typo - January 2013
You're right...they are also scared to death that the blacks would burn the cities to the ground if Congress DARED implement the rule of law. I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for politicians...
Cut the ignorance crap, the senate doesn't impeach, the house does.
The senate's job is to hold the trial, and you don't know what they'll do, because the Chief justice presides, not Harry Reid.
What's it going to take to get someone - anyone - in DC energized? Issa and his crew are doing something, anyone else????

Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library
Why I can not download the score of this piece? It give me Non-PD US warning! But since 2010 this piece of music is indeed under Public Domain (50 years since composer's death). So this seem to be a bug, could someone please fix it?
- Hi,
- The life-plus-50 year rule is for Canada only; US law in this case is date-of-publication-plus-95 years. Even though the site is hosted in Canada, the corporate entity that owns the site is located in the US and we cannot allow files under copyright in that country to be accessible (except through the EU-located server, which doesn't apply here since it's also under copyright in the EU). So, this is not a bug - it is the reality of the law and of IMSLP's legal situation. Thanks, KGill talk email 00:10, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

David Chase Taylor
America's Most Wanted: The Case Of David Chase Taylor
Published 4 days prior on January 28, 2011, David Chase Taylor's free ebook, entitled The Nuclear Bible, specifically named Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011, in Dallas, Texas, as the target, date and location of the impending nuclear terror attack. The Nuclear Bible, which took Taylor over a year to research and write, exposed the nuclear terror plot using over 1,000 mainsteam and alternative news articles.
After publishing The Nuclear Bible, Taylor conducted multiple radio interviews and phoned numerous intelligence and law enforcement agencies throughout America to personally ensure that no acts of terror were conducted on his fellow American citizens.
Overwhelming direct and circumstantial evidence has now surfaced in the aftermath of the failed Super Bowl XLV nuclear terror plot which unequivocally shows that Taylor's actions did indeed stop, or at least postpone, a state-sponsored nuclear terror attack upon America.
Citizen or Refugee?
Since first applying for political asylum in Switzerland on March 8, 2011, David Chase Taylor has been repeatedly denied legal expediency and answers in respect to his political asylum case. The main legal question pending in Taylor's case today is whether or not Taylor will be treated as a refugee or as a citizen. Currently, Taylor is being told that there is no legal differentiation between a journalist who is both an EU and American citizen residing in Switzerland with a valid Swiss "B" residence permit, and that of a refugee from a 3rd world country who has entered Switzerland illegally.

2nd I had a different lease # then they had on their paperwork(how does that happen?) and the equiptment that was written on the lease was equiptment I didn't have. I talked to 7 different people. Not one of them knew what to say. The last person I spoke with said they would have a supervisor call. Never heard from anyone. Now I am getting pre-recorded messages from them saying that I need to contact my credit card leasing company. Ummm No, they want to talk to me, they call me with a live person on the phone. As I can see it there's a bunch of fraudulent crap going on there!!! This company needs to be put out of business.

What it usually means is the car is in demand and also in short supply.
The dealer usually can't get all the cars needed to meet demand, so their reasoning is, make more profit on the ones they CAN get.
And YES, it could leave a sour taste in one's mouth.

The Loch Ness Monster is one of the world's most enduring mysteries. But there have also been accounts of similar cryptids all over the planet. Sightings of these mysterious creatures have been documented for hundreds of years in various cultural folklores. Are these fantastic creatures leftover dinosaurs, mythical animals or something that traveled to Earth millions of years ago? Or might the sightings of these strange beasts be a glimpse into the past caused by a disturbance in the space-time continuum?

Every self-respecting cryptozoologist knows – or should know – about the famous encounter claimed for St Columba and the Loch Ness monster during the 6th Century AD (its specific date varies from one authority to another). Having said that, in reality the encounter apparently took place not in the loch itself but in the River Ness – so the creature in question may not have had any bearing upon the cryptids allegedly frequenting the loch, but may simply have been a vagrant sea creature of known form, such as a bearded seal or possibly even a walrus. Anyway, regardless of its specifics, this encounter is, as I say, a very famous one in the annals of cryptozoology. Far less famous, however, yet no less interesting, is the 'other' encounter between a British saint and a lake monster.

on November 12, 2013 - 9:52 PM
NORTH TONAWANDA – The City Common Council adopted its 2014 budget on Tuesday, that for a third consecutive year, will have no increase in taxes and includes a number of projects to improve the city's infrastructure.
"This is a good, logical, conservative approach. I think it's a sound budget and I think it's going to do the taxpayers of North Tonawanda well," said Alderman Malcolm A. Needler.
Needler, who presented the budget for adoption on Tuesday, said this was his 27th municipal budget, working on budgets in the city and while he was a member of the Niagara County Legislature. He noted that it would have been "pound wise and penny foolish" to put any more of the city's fund balance into the budget to try to lower taxes.
"We would be whip-sawing taxpayers, lowering it in 2014, only having to raise it in 2015," said Needler.
In Mayor Robert G. Ortt's proposed preliminary budget, the plan was to use $2.2 million from the more than $5 million in the city's fund balance to keep tax rates from rising. However, after looking at lowering trends this past year, the Common Council was able to cut the line items on hospital medical insurance spending by 7 percent, or $500,000, and workers' compensation by 6 percent, or $100,000, in the 2014 budget. Needler said this $600,000 will be used to lower the amount of fund balance to $1.7 million.
The $38.5 million budget is up a total of $3.2 million from the current budget, though taxes will remain at $13.16 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, using a combination of increased revenues, cuts in spending and the use of $1.7 million from the fund balance. Water and sewer rates will also remain unchanged.
More than $1 million in infrastructure improvements are included in the 2014 budget, including funding for street and sidewalk repairs, natural gas emergency generators at pump houses, storm sewer separation projects, and water main replacements.
"You always want to use as little fund balance as possible, and I was happy the Council was able lower that amount and keep the tax rate increase at zero," said Ortt.
In other business, the board approved a plan for the Historical Societies of the Tonawandas to apply for $63,000 in Niagara River Greenway funding to install 22 historical signs along nine miles of the Niagara River, from Gratwick Park to the north end of the canal and from Webster Street to the Botanical Gardens on Sweeney Street. The signs would be similar to signage already installed along the corridor in the Town of Tonawanda.
Historical Society member Ned Schimminger said that, if approved, the full color, 2 x 3-foot historical signs would give people a walking historical tour of the area, pointing out locations of a few of the well-known lumberyards that once filled the docks in the "The Lumber City," as well as railroad and ferry stops, and information on famous historical figures such as Col. John Sweeney and Lt. Col. Lewis Payne.

I don't know what I'm having yet but if I have a boy we will be keeping him intact. I have researched it out the wazoo so if you don't agree with that you can keep it to yourself please, I'm not looking for that debate here. I live in an area where circumcision is as routine as baby's bath so I definitely need to inform them NOT to touch him (I think they do it right after first bath actually) Does anyone know who you inform about that? Is it another one of those things you need to put on their bassinet thingy along with "no pacis?"
Second off, baby is coming during flu season. I have seen from time to time people mentioning how no one under 18 was allowed in the maternity ward and how you were only allowed like 2 visitors to help keep flu away from the newborns, has anyone delivered in flu season before? I would be tickled to limit visitors but very sad that my daughter wouldn't get to meet her sibling first. I know every hospital policy is different I'd just like to hear anyone's experience who's had to deal with it.
