Sorry for the bombarding...I'm catching up on missed time!
I was asking Jenna's PT about a crawler to try to help her get up on all fours and maybe....maaaaaybe, figure out this crawling thing. Right now, she's rolling like a champ and is doing pretty well tolerating her tummy time. She's moving her arms and legs but isn't getting anywhere because she isn't bearing weight on them.
So, here it is and let me just say: SHE.HATES.IT. (so far) but it was only her first time and I think she just needs to get used it. I'm sure it feels totally strange and she was very crabby yesterday so probably not the best time to introduce it.
I just wanted to share in case anybody else is interested in this piece of equipment.

Not bad, Baruch. Have you considered getting financial compensation for what you do?

There once was a guy named Rorschach who covered naughty pictures with formations of inkblots and then asked people if they recognized the inkblots. Results were variable but good. Often people wanted to buy the set . In some countries he got arrested, which he assumed ment that they recognized the pictures.
In one country people kept replying "I don't know what it is but I feel the hate." He got arrested too for inciting hatred but the court released him because there was reasonable doubt.
- Chomsky/Abunimah (the left and Zionism)
Tuyzentfloot January 19, 2010 at 4:17 am
I recognize Chomsky in Shahak's description. I'd attach more importance to Chomsky's methodological rigidity than his emotional attachment to zionism. The cognitive linguists Lakoff and Johnson have a chapter on Chomsky's thinking in their book 'Philosophy in the flesh'. I wouldn't expect Chomsky to be 'wrong' in his opinions. He makes few mistakes. But I also wouldn't expect him to move from an elegant model with mediocre fit to a different model with better fit unless the first elegant model is proven wrong. The recommended approach then for moving on is to think in terms of fit instead of right and wrong.
- Goldstone blitz shows peril for Jews breaking ranks
Tuyzentfloot January 16, 2010 at 10:56 am
I don't have a direct reference but Goldstone pointed out that it was not smart of the Israelis not to present their case. Pogrebin's description of Goldstone as formidable ally is an exaggeration, but she didn't pull it out of thin air.

Also a good reminder: It should have been harder to besmirch the man whom Aharon Barak, former president of the Israeli Supreme Court, calls "a dear friend" with "very deep ties to Israel." In fact, had Israel cooperated with the mission and presented its case persuasively, I believe it would have had a formidable ally in Richard Goldstone.
Well, there's not much left we haven't yet copied to here now.

I should try to spell that out, for my own benefit if nobody elses. Bill O'Reilly is an american rightwing shockjock.
Stephen Colbert parodies O'Reilly (on comedycentral television,
it's available online).
To some extent Colbert can say the same things as O'Reilly, but it's not enough.
as Frank Zappa liked to put it, you have to put the eyebrows on it. That is to fully develop the cliche. You have to make the framing more explicit.
Colbert does it for laughs, but the value is, if you make the framing more explicit you can observe it better. If it's implicit it just sneaks up on you.
Tuyzentfloot January 15, 2010 at 5:52 pm

A small note on bookishness. The Belgian newspaper I'm subscribed to very often interprets things from an Israeli narrative. There's a variety for reasons for that. It also pays a lot of attention to literature, and Grossman and Oz can do no wrong. I think these two writers are huge assets in the 'number one' area(Israel rocks), appealing to bookish people all over the world. I'm not sure if I should blame them but in any case, I think it sucks.

And claiming Zionists can't be liberal is too much like claiming intelligent people who do stupid things therefore aren't really intelligent. It's bad thinking. Intelligent=good. Stupid=not good >> not really intelligent.

Tuyzentfloot January 12, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Nineteenth century nationalism in Europe was about ethnic countries. Panslavism and Pangermanism, Zionism. One people, one country. The US is nationalistic too but it's much more inclusive. Quite different(well, you've got both types there too). Accusing Zionism of being nationalistic is a bit like saying it's just another country like France. That would be misleading. The excluding type of nationalism is tolerable when there's nobody else around anyway.
Nationalism in its inclusive form also has its pros and cons. It's a glue that's especially attractive when the country can be split in groups that really don't see any reason why they should talk to each other. It's also a key ingredient for an aggressive foreign policy.

I don't understand Citizen's comment but from how I've understood Leander's writings the Nazis were an evil that can't be compared to anything, and he has done extensive research to back it up. I don't disagree though I believe it's a bad starting point if you want to spot early warnings.
Tuyzentfloot January 11, 2010 at 3:09 am
Hm, I don't doubt the numbers and the censoring but for the moment I'll stick to my prejudice that there has been little mutual influence between events in Europe and in Palestine. I prefer to minimalize the impact of Zionist acts on the course of events in Europe, as I want to minimalize the impact Nazism had on the actions of the Zionists.
Tuyzentfloot January 10, 2010 at 12:15 pm
The Iranians are ALWAYS worse than the Nazis In a way they are. The nazis are a key element in the national religion, namely all the world hates Jews and the tough state of Israel will protect them. Iran on the other hand challenges the regional hegemony of Israel, and with that, western support.

Tuyzentfloot January 8, 2010 at 1:06 pm

Tuyzentfloot January 8, 2010 at 12:50 pm
December 26th there was a bomb in Beirut that killed Hamas people. Same day or the next day there were 3 dead in Gaza and 3 al-aqsa people in the west bank. There've been frequent bombings on Gaza since, not killing anyone. I'd leave the Al-Aqsa people out of it for now, but considering that the Shalit deal is contentious(say, because Marwan Barghouti would be released). some people may want to increase tension to make the deal fall through. The other way round, a show of restraint is a sign that you want to make the deal go ahead. This not enough to build an opinion on. It's more the kind of clue you use to search a bit without knowing if it leads anywhere.
Tuyzentfloot January 8, 2010 at 11:25 am with 15 replies
Quite a lot of killing at the moment from the IDF side. Could this be related to the Shalit deal?

There are pragmatic reasons to accept facts on the ground , for example with paying out compensation. But. The strategy of creating facts on the ground is similar to the strategy of aiming for time limitation in legal issues.
When there has been a deliberate strategy to take advantage of pragmatic attitudes I would take as much as possible(which is how much exactly?) the principled attitude as a reference. All claims for limitation are off. The worst response is to upgrade the state of affairs to some kind of moral right.
Tuyzentfloot January 8, 2010 at 4:26 am
The value of Sand's thesis is it strenghtens the theory that founding myths were created to justify the legitimacy, the morality of the project.
You could compare the function of the founding myths with the supporting construction used when building a roman arc. It's needed to build the arc but once it's ready you can remove the supports one by one and the arc will not collapse.

- A Palestinian corrects the New York Review of Books
Tuyzentfloot January 6, 2010 at 5:06 am
Koshiro, there are two angles: what the big players are thinking, and what it means to the palestinians. If I put myself in the shoes of the US , bringing in the Jordanians can help make a Palestinian state more viable, or give it more the semblance of viability. There can be many variants, but as a prototype idea I would think of masquerading a Jordan-supported Bantustan option as an independent Palestinian state.
I entered a few keywords and got two very recent links to things that I think aren't likely to happen if Jordan would categorically refuse to take any responsibility for the WestBank: electricity and policing
link to maannews.net
link to palestine-pmc.com
Egypt accepted to build an energy plant to provide Gaza with electricity btw. Barak was involved in that. It's not clear to me what the position of Jordan is, but if they see possibilities there they'll surely not let on, because it's hard to sell.
While in principle I don't have major objections to Palestine being part of Jordan(but I didn't think about this much)
I expect the Palestinians would be getting screwed again(or did you think I didn't?) and Israel would be getting off cheap. So it's best to be prepared for people trying to sell the idea in new ways - with Israel doing 'unprecedented' concessions with very real dismantling of peripheral settlements. But certainly keeping what matters most - Jerusalem, maybe the water. Hell they probably would offer as an ultimate sacrifice a part of Israel proper, the little triangle.
Tuyzentfloot January 4, 2010 at 6:48 am
i suppose I'm not kidding. You're right that it shouldn't be called 'the jordanian option' though. Maybe "Jordanian enhanced independent Palestian" :)
Tuyzentfloot January 4, 2010 at 3:49 am with 4 replies
One thing is to expose the jordanian scenario, another is to put yourself in the shoes of the parties involved. I think it's attractive to the US, Europe, Israel, and Jordan can be convinced. As for the Palestinians well, make the alternatives worse. The Palestinian police (american trained) were already Jordanian I thought.
Tuyzentfloot January 4, 2010 at 2:56 am with 1 replies
My feeling that the scenario where a less than independently viable remainder of the westbank is annexed to Jordan is becoming increasingly likely. And the mirror scenario for Gaza. And I don't like it. Very ugly pragmatism but the salesmen can make a good case for it - since it does improve the situation and it provides a kind of solution. Benny Morris made a similar appeal. I suspect this is being actively pursued.
As for Segev, he's done good things. Not the type who will be critical of Israel in front of outsiders though.
- Meet the Post-zionist Zionists: Tania Hary
Tuyzentfloot January 5, 2010 at 8:17 pm
It should be a belief system, there's an internal fit that can be very comprehensive while at the same time it seems silly from the outside. Denial can happen when there's too much dissonnance, and there's probably a lot of it now .
Should one condemn people for only performing averagely and not escaping the belief system? It's also difficult to accuse people of being passive and in denial so that they can get on with their life.
I just wouldn't count too much on the people on the inside for fixing this.
I remember encountering the Dorian Gray analogy somewhere...
Tuyzentfloot January 4, 2010 at 6:46 am with 2 replies
Sammy, I would just imagine someone asking that question long ago. Then flood with justifying myths about everything happening somehow in self defense. Make sure the wars and the occupation don't interfere with daily life. I think many still disapprove of the occupation. But a lot of it can be covered with 'unfortunately necessary(the separation inside the westbank)' , with narrowing down the actions to an isolated part of the population, and neutralized to 'disapproval in principle but nothing else'. It will help a lot to be gullible, as well as loyal to 'your own group'. It's easy to go on once you get the feel. Now that the 1948 myths are starting to wear off, it's time to switch to 'long time ago'.
Note, I'm still talking about the nice leftist people here.

This series has an unfortunate title, sort of ruining the idea of 'postzionism'. I believe that from the start many people were not politically zionist, they just wanted a decent life, and often desired to be a good person, and the main part of zionist indoctrination was just 'but the arabs hate us so we have to stick together but we still wish them all the best they should just leave us alone'. It's nice to see that Tanya Hart doesn't seem to fit that - but of course the system can keep on track while acommodating a lot of nice people.

Tuyzentfloot November 26, 2009 at 4:26 am
People don't want to be morally wrong - and they're capable of coming up with the wackiest justifications to avoid this. So you get the following mechanics: the basic concept is "only us", but that doesn't sound right enough. Modified version: we have no problem with Palestinians at all, as long as they leave us alone. "leaving alone" means to be far away. You don't want to expel them unprovoked because that would be morally wrong. This leaves -at least- two public tracks: the nice track is to make it easy and attractive for Palestinians to leave. A poll asking "wouldn't it be nice if Palestinians left voluntarily" will get many votes. The angry track is that you wouldn't use force normally but all the bad things they've done leave you no other choice - it's self defence. Results of a poll then will vary wildly depending on whether these tracks are activated, whether responsibility is taken away. The task of the policymakers then is to take away responsibility.
There is a huge difference between "only us" and wanting to be accepted. I see no sign of any desire to be accepted by the neighboring countries.

There's a claim about change in companies, that when new people arrive they first have to learn the new environment. Then after 6 to 9 months they start to understand the mechanics and start becoming able to bring fresh insight. After a few years though they're fully absorbed in the company culture and you can't expect much deviation anymore.
Being immersed in a system for a long time helps some forms of insight, and blocks other forms of insight. Being immersed in Israel for a long time is not very helpful for some forms of understanding about that country.

Well, if I put my mayven cap on it's trivial. electrolytic capacitors wear out relatively fast(depending on size/operating temperature). Recapping after 20 years is no luxury. I know cases where 10-yearly recaps are recommended. Some people try to tweak the sonic signature by switching between different brands of capacitors too .

In Western Europe the reference frames that are most available as things to avoid at all cost are nazism, and then communism. So it's natural to easily spot analogies with those two cases, and I mean from a point of view of sincere perception, not for namecalling.
This means
- the analogies can be too readily available and overused. A richer set of analogies helps.
- the analogies can be dismissed too easily by using the 'no genocide' argument. Well, then nazism anno 1940 wouldn't be recognized as nazism since no genocide had been committed yet. Or if Turkey had gotten into real trouble with the genocide of the Armenians, causing Hitler to conclude the idea was too tricky. People who use that argument to dismiss the analogy wouldn't recognize nazism if it were dancing in front of them in a pink tutu. Alright, so it's a good disguise.
- the analogy is heavily loaded, making it unusable in normal discussion.

I tend to worry a bit over the value of the Israeli grassroots organizations but my first impression of Grassroots Jeruzalem is good. It's not a 'good zionist' or 'let's try not to fight' agenda . It also doesn't seem to be stuck with the dilemma that Nomi Lalo of Machsom Watch describes in an article by Jonathan Cook.
How effective does she feel Machsom Watch is? Does it really help the Palestinians or merely add a veneer of legitimacy to the checkpoints by suggesting, like the humanitarian post, that Israel cares about its occupied subjects? It is, Nomi admits, a question that troubles her a great deal.
"It's a dilemma. The Palestinians here used to have to queue under the sun without shelter or water. Now that we have got them a roof, maybe we have made the occupation look a little more humane, a little more acceptable. There are some women who argue we should only watch, and not interfere, even if we see Palestinians being abused or beaten.'

If it was a pure neocon anti OPEC war , then the neocons lost too. If it was about disintegrating Iraq, the neocons won.
I more or less agree with v... that control can take many forms, and some of them involve control of reserves, control of pipelines and routes, and control of refineries. The free market cannot counteract all that.
I prefer the idea that the aim was controlling the region. Then controlling its oil is a considerable part of it.
I believe that few politicians took the WMD claim seriously. What the claim provided was a convenient excuse to legitimize support. Preferably the claim has some degree of truth behind it, but that doesn't mean it was considered relevant. So when Military analysts would draw a huge distinction between posessing old chemical and biological weapons stocks, and posing an actual military threat. That is of course also why Colin Powell is being disingenious when he claims having been fooled about the WMD . Nobody considered Iraq a military threat. So a find of old mustard gas grenades, we're talking about weapons that existed in WWI, feeds into the 'technical violation' claim, which feeds into the 'imminent military threat' claim, but only as long as you take care to obfuscate the distinction. Scott Ritter did a good job early on to draw that distinction. I recall that Wolfowitz also made the interesting claim before the war that he could take Iraq with what was it, 10.000 or 40.000 soldiers.

I've dwelled on the issue of pragmatism before and I use a spectrum(till I come up with something better). First you need a concept of ludecy, which is the ability to know and play the rules of the game- in this case the game of politics. If you don't understand the game and are willing to play it you lose. Simple. The spectrum:
- game players: all that counts is the game, if you survive and gain power, you're doing right. A bit like economic fundamentalism.
- weak pragmatism: you do have valuable aims but you're so involved in political survival and caution you're only pursuing them half heartedly, and you regret it.
- strong pragmatism: you know the rules, take them in account, but bloodymindedly pursue things that matter.
- principled behaviour: principles trump rules. Occasionally this will be successful. Usually you end up on the outside of the game.
Obama looks like a weak pragmatist to me, not a game fundamentalist. He did stick his neck out in the I/P issue, aligning himself with the Kadima camp, but without the necessary bloodymindedness.

From what I've read of Chomsky -not that much and not that recent- I'd say that people who say he's wrong, are usually wrong. I do have the impression though that Chomsky will hold on to a weak theory as long as it's not proven wrong, while there are theories around that are much better. The trick is to use "better/worse" rather than "wrong/right".

I wish people would work those descriptors a bit. "Hate" is the preferred descriptor of the apologists, because it's more easy to dismiss and to assign it to antisemitism ("I feel your hate").
The attitude of someone -from the left let's say- who judges Israel in cruel and venomous terms and is intolerant of the apologists, can cover a very wide range. Usually "hate" is a bad match and in the cases that it is a good match, antisemitism is usually a bad match. People should work on that vocabulary a bit.

The Arab Jews were needed, of course, for cheap labor which continued a policy of bringing Jews from Yemen that had begun earlier in the century.

Tuyzentfloot November 11, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I think it's valuable to point out the intensive and unscrupulous effort of the new state of Israel to get Jews all over the world to move to Israel, often not to the benefit of these people. This does not diminish what they've been through. It's also valuable to counter the myths about what happened and to provide an alternative narrative. This alternative narrative helps to distinguish between the theoretical and appealing construct of "the good and very moral zionist" and what it means to implement an ideal.
I can see that pressing on the theme of voluntary migration can lead do minimizing suffering and I'd be careful about "going there" too.

A thought on the issue of making loud bangs. The occasional report on Hebron mentions that there is little visible damage from the qassams. Because it gets repaired quickly and because they don't do all that much damage. But there's also what happens in people's heads that doesn't just go away. To some extent supersonic overflights achieve the same psychological effect(obviously it depends how far away you are) - but they don't even register in the press.

Two additional remarks
Attitudes of the military about the current wars vary from "teaching them ragheads a lesson about 9/11" to "assisting the good people of Afghanistan to build a shiny new democracy" and the intuition device on my left elbow tells me the mentality at Fort Hood might lean pretty much to the former.
Fort Hood seems to be one of those places that has become completely unhinged. Dahr Jamail (link to atimes.com) mentions that they're at a rate of 10 suicides per month.
The idea that I extract from the whole is that while Nidal Hassan has extra reasons concerning Islam and I/P to quit with a loud bang, there will be runners up without those extra reasons.

Jim Brooks, owner of the newly opened Jimmy B's Auto and Light Truck Service in Port Washington, has a simple philosophy for running his business.
"I want all of my customers to feel like a family member is working on their vehicle," Brooks said.
That desire to build strong customer relationships played a big part in his decision to open the auto repair shop at 107 S. Milwaukee St.
The business opened May 1.
Brooks, an ASE-certified mechanic, had worked in the repair shop at Tires Unlimited in Port Washington since 1999.
"I was happy working there, but I am a sociable person and I enjoy being around people," he said.
"I am 45 years old, and if I am ever going to try going out on my own, it is now. I am planning on being here for a long time, but if it doesn't work out, I know I will always be able to find work as a mechanic."
Brooks purchased the equipment formerly used at Mugsy Auto Service and also took over the lease.
He then devoted a considerable amount of time updating the shop and adding an array of state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment.
Although Brooks is adept at using the latest testing devices, he has an old-school love of all things automotive.
When he was younger, he started modifying cars to enhance their performance and saw considerable success racing them, including winning a season championship at the 141 Speedway in Maribel.
"You had to build cars that were better than what you drive on the streets because they had to last 300 laps," Brooks said.
He said his love for speed was tempered when he came face to face with his own mortality during a race in 2007.
Brooks saw a competitor's car spin out and flip completely over the roof of his own car, landing 10 feet in front of him.
His wife looked on in horror from the stands.
"It was at that point I decided I didn't have it in me to race any more. I cared too much about my family," Brooks said.
Not coincidentally, his son was born that same year.
Brooks still loves working on cars, but has also found great pleasure fishing on Lake Michigan.
He got involved with the Great Lakes Sport Fishermen in 2010, skippering the "Boat of the Year" in 2013 — a recognition for landing the largest collective fish in the five sport species sought on Lake Michigan.
"I didn't reel in too many fish, but I always enjoy watching other people catch them," Brooks said.
"Some of the nicest people I know, I've met working on their cars or fishing."
Brooks said the most appealing part of being an auto mechanic is helping people solve difficult repair challenges.
"It is satisfying to diagnose a problem and repair it, but it is the basic work — changing oil, selling tires and adjusting brakes — that pays the bills," he said.
"I am not here to get rich. What I really appreciate in having my own shop is being able spend the time to make sure a job is done right."

Heads of Laboratories
Richard E. Salomon Family Associate Professor
Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Microbial Pathogenesis
Microbial pathogens have evolved sophisticated virulence mechanisms to subvert host defenses and cause disease. The Hang laboratory is interested in elucidating fundamental mechanisms of host-microbe interactions and developing new therapeutic strategies to combat microbial infections.
The emergence of new microbial pathogens and the adaptation of microbes to current antimicrobials demands a better understanding of host-microbe interactions to prevent and treat infections. To accomplish this, there is a need for new methods to analyze the roles of gene and protein families involved in these interactions. The Hang laboratory has developed robust chemical methods to image and profile nucleic acid and protein synthesis, as well as modifications to these molecules in animal cells and microbes. At the heart of this chemical approach is the design and synthesis of specific reporters, which are metabolites bearing uniquely reactive groups that can be incorporated into biomolecules and then selectively labeled. The Hang laboratory has developed a variety of chemical reporters for the sensitive detection and analysis of nucleic acid and protein synthesis, as well as a variety of chemical modifications.
The application of these new reporters to different organisms and cell types has revealed previously uncharacterized protein modifications and regulatory mechanisms involved in host-microbe interactions, as well as fundamental aspects of cell biology. For example, fatty acid and isoprenoid chemical reporters used in dendritic cells and macrophages have revealed lipidation of key immune effectors and receptors responsible for controlling microbial infections. In addition to host immunity, lipid chemical reporters from the Hang laboratory have revealed new roles for protein S-palmitoylation in cellular differentiation, as well as bacterial virulence. These studies suggest that protein lipidation mechanisms can regulate the strength and specificity of cell signaling pathways and highlight lipid modifications and metabolism as key regulatory factors in host-microbe interactions and as potential targets for pathogens during infection. These results are driving further mechanistic studies in the Hang laboratory.
With the dwindling supply of antibiotics and a growing appreciation for commensal microbes, new anti-infective strategies are needed to selectively target microbial pathogens without depleting the beneficial microbiota in humans. The Hang laboratory is interested in understanding protective mechanisms of commensal bacteria and developing inhibitors of bacterial virulence pathways. While host-associated bacterial species have been shown to secrete metabolites and proteins with beneficial effects for the host, the mechanisms and targets of these molecules are not well understood. The Hang laboratory is therefore employing chemical reporters and model organisms to identify and characterize key protective factors from commensal bacteria. As a complement, the Hang laboratory is also developing chemical inhibitors of key microbial virulence pathways to limit infections. Specifically, the lab is working on small molecule inhibitors of type III secretion systems (T3SSs) essential to virulence in many Gram-negative pathogens. The Hang laboratory has developed a high throughput assay for type III protein secretion and so discovered specific small molecules from medicinal plants and synthetic chemical libraries that can antagonize T3SSs and inhibit bacterial infection. These T3SS inhibitors provide new lead compounds for selectively targeting bacterial pathogens responsible for disease without killing protective commensal bacteria.

Intensity of 'pen work suits Duffy well, but he could make timely switch to rotation, too
The intensity of relieving appears to have helped Danny Duffy focus. But while he has performed well in the bullpen, the club still sees him as a future starter, a role he says he could be ready for in 10-14 days.
Left-hander Danny Duffy has been better than perhaps anyone imagined in his new and brief career as a reliever.
In three appearances, Duffy has worked at least two innings each time out, given up just three hits and no runs, and has struck out nine hitters.
And the biggest fear -- his tendency to be wild -- has been a nonfactor. Duffy has walked just two batters.
The intensity level of being a reliever appears to have helped Duffy focus.
"I have felt very focused," he said. "I have felt confident. I think you get more focused than you would as a starter because it's such a short time as a reliever. You don't have time to think too much; you just throw strikes."
Duffy has been so effective that manager Ned Yost now is considering Duffy for a more high-leverage role, perhaps as an eighth-inning tandem with Wade Davis.
Yost didn't hesitate last week in Houston when he brought Duffy in during a tie game in the bottom of the ninth, and then again in the 10th.
"I want to be that late-inning guy," Duffy said. "I thought they might want to bring me along slowly, but I'm glad they didn't. That was a tense situation in Houston -- on the road, bottom of the ninth, bottom of the 10th, you make one mistake and that's it, you lose.
"That meant a lot to me that they showed me that confidence. I'm glad Ned had so much confidence in me. I haven't been doing the bullpen thing that long, and for him to give me the ball in that situation -- it's do or die -- I was very happy. I'm ready for more."
So far, the Royals haven't tried to overuse Duffy. He has gotten time off between outings, but he says he could go back-to-back if needed.
"I could, but I think they're going to try to protect me," he said. "As an organization they make sure to protect guys coming off (Tommy John surgery). But I feel good enough to do it back-to-back."
Watch the Royals Live pregame and postgame shows before and after every Kansas City Royals game on FOX Sports Kansas City.
The bigger question is what the Royals will do with Duffy in the future. Left-handers Tim Collins and Francisley Bueno are on the disabled list, and Collins appears close to being healthy again. Yost already has indicated there is no way Duffy will be shipped back to Triple-A Omaha when either one is activated.
And, of course, there is the issue of the Royals' rotation. Club officials still believe Duffy's future is as a starter. And if a current starter were to go down or become ineffective -- and Bruce Chen might be nearing that ineffective point -- it's still likely Duffy would be the club's top choice as a rotation replacement.
But how long would it take Duffy to transition back to being a starter?
"I don't think it would take that long -- maybe two weeks at the most," Duffy said. "After I went to the bullpen in spring training, I went to extended spring and started with three innings and maybe 60 pitches, then five innings and maybe 75 pitches, then I was ready to go six in my first start in Omaha, and that's what I did.
"So really, that's just about a week and a half. No problem."

Truly amazing story. I really enjoyed the humour in it. I still have the image of the cat curling around Snape in my head. I really like how you portrayed the characters, especially Harry.

How can vernon have a boss when he owns the company?
| watertribewolfe chapter 4 . 5/4/2013
Aunt Petunia smiling isn't too far off from canon. I mean, I understand her jealousy for her sister who was so special. Makes me feel sorry for Petunia in a way especially since she took in her special nephew.

I wish there WAS such a thing as a weight loss potion. I need to lose about 4 pounds by the end of the year and its taking ages. Running 45 min a day is sooo tiring and makes me more hungry, haha. but I have lost about 21 pounds since I started last August, that's something. So I kinda know how Dud feels about this whole situation thing. It sucks.

This has been, overall, an interesting read. The way you portrayed the Dursleys and Harry in particular. Definitely something I'd read again. Granted, there were parts I screwed up my nose at, but that's to be expected and more due to personal beliefs than anything(I wasn't fond of Harry's letter to Neville. I like Neville, and that you had him visit was brilliant, in my opinion, but the phrasing of that letter was not something I liked. Personally, I just don't outright lie to friends, though covering embarrassing things I can understand, I've always felt being more honest, even if you put it differently and more tactfully, showed more respect for them. Again, a personal squick moment). However, Dudley's overall role was perfect, I'd say. Still mean, still nasty, but trying to change that, even if he's not totally successful, especially at first.
| random4ever chapter 11 . 12/23/2012
I loved this! I'm always on the lookout for good Dudley fics, so I'm glad I found this one! I suppose that you aren't going to be writing the epilogue anymore, are you? Pity. I'll read it if you ever do. DFTBA, Random
| Anna McNarin chapter 11 . 10/7/2012
This tale had me rolling in laughter, I'm surprised I didn't fall right out of my chair for some of it. Well done.
| The Queen of Procrastination chapter 11 . 6/21/2012
Hmm...while I find the concept of Harry helping with Dudley's diet funny I don't think overall the entire fic was humourous enough to be classified as 'humour'. Much of the scenes were alarming in the sense that it conveyed neglect and mild abuse on Harry's part. I felt more sorry for him through out the fic rather than laughing.
In essence, this fic had more potential to be a serious one - especially when Snape entered the picture & saw for himself how Harry's relatives treats him.
Another point I found funny (but not in a humourous sense) is the idea of Harry helping with Dudley's homework. At the age of 15 Dudley will most likely be doing GCSE work - I very much doubt that Harry can even help him considering he left his muggle education at the age of 11.
Although, the fact that Harry knew about Romeo & Juliet more than Dudley (who actually goes to Muggle school) was kind of funny - it really goes to show how thick Dudley is - though I don't know whether you did that intentionally or not.
I hope you don't take any of my comments as words of derision or complaints - I commend that you do write well, and your story plot was interesting & unique. I was just puzzled how this fic was classified under the genre of 'humour' - albeit there were some amusing scenes e.g. Uncle Vernon's problem and the whole Snape & Petunia interactoin. I just thought your fic highlighted some more serious issues which clashed with your aim for this fic to be mainly funny.

When we look at ROI, one thing we need to take into account is how much it costs us to implement our ideas. This week we are going to talk about a non-obvious benefit of a pervasive group of technologies commonly known as Ajax. While the benefits of using Ajax typically come in the form of enhanced user experience, there is more under the covers of this paradigm that leads to cost savings during implementation.
We are currently building the complete back-end system for a very large event venue. The project includes everything from initial contract negotiations, event planning, automated invoices, and CRM. The system even goes so far as to give the food coordinators an interface that lets them make changes to seasonal menus and see how much food they need to buy in bulk for all the events this month. It's a very complicated system, and has a lot of interlocked parts that rely on each other to function.
Added to that complexity, the client has a penchant for changing their minds. While we did an extensive wireframing phase, some details (or new details) are coming to light in the implementation phase that are requiring (sometimes) substantial changes in where information is presented in the workflow.
As an example, the event facility has a notion of "global discounts," such as "book this event during the summer [which is off-season for them] and get 10% off." In all the documentation we received, discounts were created as line items on an invoice. It wasn't until half-way into development that they decided discounts should be a global idea, tied to a contract, and show up on any and all invoices for the client.
Obviously, this presented problems on both the back-end and front-end. In the back-end, the data had to live somewhere else (not where the invoices live). The front-end could have also been a disaster.
We had built a fairly complex (but intuitive on the front-end) method for the client to dynamically add discounts to an invoice and adjust the discount's parameters on the page. Had we done this with traditional form-based HTML, it would have been a small nightmare to rip out all the code in order to move it to the contract modules. This is because traditional forms not only have the HTML to create the form, but also the PHP code required to act on a form submission.
Because the entire site is utilizing Ajax to store and edit data, we didn't have these problems in the front-end. All of the user experience elements (text area, checkboxes, etc.) are completely modular and self-contained. In other words, a checkbox knows how to update the correct database entry and doesn't require any external code to do so. Likewise, a text field updates the database field it points to as the user types. There is no secondary code sitting somewhere waiting for a form submission for that text box.
This self-contained modularity made it extremely simple to take the fields from one HTML file and put them on another one. Then the functionality simply works because it is independent of anything else that is on the page.
When a client is prone to changing their minds a lot, or when functionality is changed during the development cycle, it is imperative to minimize the risks and costs, especially for a client that might push back on scope creep charges. By developing functionality in a highly modular way, we have been able to mitigate the change of course by making it extremely easy to move parts of pages elsewhere without disrupting any other functionality on the page.
Until next time…
