Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood
PM Press 1604864818 / 9781604864816 PAPERBACK New
1604864818 Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood combines the best pieces from the award-winning zineRad Dad and from the blog Daddy Dialectic, two kindred publications that have tried to explore parenting as political territory. Both of these projects have pushed the conversation around fathering beyond the safe, apolitical focus most books and websites stick to; they have not been complacent but have worked hard to create a diverse, multi-faceted space in which to grapple with the complexity of fathering. Today more than ever, fatherhood demands constant improvisation, risk, and struggle. With grace and honesty and strength, Rad Dad?s writers tackle all the issues that other parenting guides are afraid to touch: the brutalities, beauties, and politics of the birth experience, the challenges of parenting on an equal basis with mothers, the tests faced by transgendered and gay fathers, the emotions of sperm donation, and parental confrontations with war, violence, racism, and incarceration. Rad Dad is for every father out in the real world trying to parent in ways that are loving, meaningful, authentic, and ultimately revolutionary. Contributors Include: Steve Almond, Jack Amoureux, Mike Araujo, Mark Andersen, Jeff Chang, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Jeff Conant, Sky Cosby, Jason Denzin, Cory Doctorow, Craig Elliott, Chip Gagnon, Keith Hennessy, David L. Hoyt, Simon Knapus, Ian MacKaye, Tomas Moniz, Zappa Montag, Raj Patel, Jeremy Adam Smith, Jason Sperber, Burke Stansbury, Shawn Taylor, Tata, Jeff West, and Mark Whiteley.

Heaven on Earth: A Handbook for Parents of Young Children
Oppenheimer, Sharifa
SteinerBooks 0880105666 / 9780880105668 PAPERBACK New
0880105666 As we see a shift of old forms that were once the foundations of our daily lives, parents?who must prepare the next generation to meet the changing world?have more questions today than ever before. Although our cultural values and family structures may change, it is the atmosphere in the home that continues to form the foundation of a child?s life. In Heaven on Earth, parent and educator Sharifa Oppenheimer reveals how parents can make the home environment warm, lively, loving, and consistent with their highest ideals. Heaven on Earth balances a theoretical understanding of child development with practical ideas, resources, and tips that can transform family life. Readers will learn how to create the regular life rhythms needed to establish a foundation for learning; how to design indoor play environments that allow children the broadest development of skills; and how to create outdoor play spaces that encourage vigorous movement and a wide sensory palette. Through art, storytelling, and the festival celebrations, this book is an invaluable guide to building a ?family culture? based on the guiding principle of love?a culture that supports children and encourages the free development of each unique soul. Responding to parents? questions from more than twenty years of teaching, Sharifa Oppenheimer offers a gift from the heart. Heaven on Earth is a practical, inspiring resource that brings the author's informed, intuitive understanding of young children into the heart of the home.

The Art of Conscious Parenting: The Natural Way to Give Birth, Bond with, and Raise Healthy Children
Fine Ph.D., Jeffrey L.
Healing Arts Press 159477322X / 9781594773228 PAPERBACK New
159477322X New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Pacific Northwest Independent Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 254 p. Audience: General/trade. A new approach to creating, rediscovering, and renewing the intimate bonds between parents and children Explains the importance of bonding with your child in utero and the physical and mental preparation needed even before conception Shows how green parenting--breast-feeding, contact with nature, and low-tech creativity--can enhance your child s life Art of Conscious Parenting won the 2010 Gold Nautilus Award for the best Parenting/Childcare book. Nautilus Awards recognize books that promote spiritual growth, conscious living and positive social change, while at the same time stimulating the "imagination" and offer the reader "new possibilities" for a better life and a better world. Our first days and months of life are critical in forming the attitudes we bring into adulthood and in structuring the very roots of our personality. Simple bonding techniques--long forgotten in our modern world but stemming from the age-old customs of indigenous peoples--are at the core of a new model of conscious parenting that can produce happy and well-adjusted children. These practices also help parents experience an increased joy and intimacy both with their child and with each other. Based on obstetric and psychological evidence, Jeffrey and Dalit Fine reveal how bonding begins in utero and that the physical and mental preparation of both the father and mother, even before conception, sets the tone for the future well-being of the child. They show how sustained physical contact and simple ways of consciously interacting with your infant--eye contact with the newborn, baby-wearing instead of stroller use, and co-sleeping--have an observable positive effect. They also show that the green parenting practices of breast-feeding, contact with nature, and simple low-tech creative play not only provide a more hands-on and intimate approach to parenting but also are more economical and environmentally sustainable. From in-utero bonding through the challenges and joys of consciously.

1580051235 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 256 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. It's been over a decade since Ariel Gore, in a caffeine-induced brainstorm, invented Hip Mama as her senior project in college. zine that has grown up alongside Gore's daughter, has covered subjects from weaning to home schooling with a political edge and a puckish sense of humor. Essential Hip Mama captures the heart of a decade's worth of earthy, honest, soulful parenting and topics from circumcision to dating, abortion to the (mistaken) belief that mothers don't fart. Gore has gathered in one volume the whispers and conversations heard in homes, on playgrounds, and in coffeehouses around the country. Reassuring and hopeful, Essential Hip Mama is a brilliant testament that one becomes an expert simply through the act of mothering, echoing Gore's own words, Whenever I've needed parenting advice, I've put out a call for submissions. This paperback original offers the most hilarious and heart-wrenching essays from ten years of this quintessential alternative-parenting bible.

My Baby Rides the Short Bus: The Unabashedly Human Experience of Raising Kids with Disabilities

1604861096 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 336 p. Audience: General/trade. In lives where there is a new diagnosis or drama every day, the stories in this collection provide parents of special needs kids with a welcome chuckle, a rock to stand on, and a moment of reality held far enough from the heart to see clearly. Featuring works by alternative parents who have attempted to move away from mainstream thought--or remove its influence altogether--this anthology, taken as a whole, carefully considers the implications of parenting while raising children with disabilities. From professional writers to novice storytellers including Robert Rummel-Hudson, Ayun Halliday, and Kerry Cohen, this assortment of authentic, shared experiences from parents at the fringe of the fringes is a partial antidote to the stories that misrepresent, ridicule, and objectify disabled kids and their parents.

Doug and I love visiting old towns and driving around to find neat old buildings. Las Vegas, New Mexico caught our attention this time. There are over 900 buildings on the historical registry in this town. Amazing.
Isn't this house grand? I wonder about that room up in the tower and how it would work for a studio. I can almost feel the wooden floors and banisters that must grace the inside of this house.
This is the Plaza Hotel. I'm not familiar with all the history (researching it is on my agenda) but what a wonderful old building. "Doc" Holliday and Big Nose Kate spent time in this town. The building was built in 1882, after they left, but it seems I read somewhere they did return at some time so maybe they did visit this stately hotel. One bit of history from a brochure I picked up at the visitor center is that Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders had their first reunion in this hotel.

The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) degree program at the University of Southern Indiana provides a postgraduate credential for individuals who seek personal enrichment and whose careers would be enhanced by a formal course of graduate study, but who prefer an interdisciplinary approach.
Who should seek a MALS degree?
The program is a viable alternative for educators seeking professional development and for meeting state license renewal requirements. In sum, the program provides an opportunity for individuals from a variety of careers to acquire graduate-level skills and knowledge from the perspective of several academic disciplines. The program could be an appropriate step toward further degree work in doctoral interdisciplinary programs, as well as traditional doctorates that prefer interdisciplinary master's work.
It is an ideal program for students seeking a practical education who have a lively interest in intellectual and civic life, as well as personal growth, and enjoy serious discussions with other dedicated students searching for a practical yet meaningful education.
The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies is a joint program of the College of Liberal Arts and the Pott College of Science, Engineering and Education at USI. The interdisciplinary MALS program is housed in the Philosophy Department.
The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program at the University of Southern Indiana is a full member of the Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs.

Why mergers are 'really tough'
Finally. New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in the midst of budget negotiations last week, came out of his shell and said what needed to be said to the oftentimes whining municipalities and school districts in regard to lesser funding and the tax cap: rethink how you do business.
"If it was really, really tough, you'd see (consolidation) happen," Cuomo said March 15 in an Associated Press report on local fiscal crises. "If you are a school district, or a city, or a town or a county, and you are looking for a fundamental financial reform, consolidation is one of the obvious ones."
During a visit to Dunkirk last month by Sam Hoyt, regional director of the Empire State Development Corp., he promised that regionalism and government consolidations were still on the Cuomo agenda even though the governor had not been stressing the initiative. Last week it seemed the message from Albany was back.
As usual, it had its detractors. Chief among them was Peter Baynes of the New York Conference of Mayors. He said the governor needs to put his focus on mandate relief.
Don't believe that hype. Mandate relief is not what is causing problems for the tiny villages of Cassadaga, Sherman, Forestville and Silver Creek. Mismanagement by these entities is usually the largest problem, one that Baynes would rather not discuss since the villages are members of his organization.
Baynes then pointed to a lack of success in recent years in dissolving villages statewide. Unfortunately, a large dose of the failure falls at the feet of the elected leaders.
Locally, in the villages of East Randolph, Randolph and Perrysburg – all of which were successfully dissolved by voter approval – the elected leaders were positive about their respective towns taking over duties of their inconsequential municipality.
Where the dissolution failed – Lakewood – the elected leaders were selfishly involved in efforts to scare voters that if the village dissolved, residents would face uncertainties in the future while seeing lesser services.
Those fear tactics, espoused by elected officials who do not want to lose their small piece of power, work well. But what those elected officials won't remind constituents is that they already see lesser services in whatever municipality they live because the budgets are at breaking points.
In Dunkirk, potholes are going unfilled. In Fredonia, the water plant is nearing a disaster. In Forestville, the school has limited extracurricular activities.
Consolidation, however, brings an infusion of cash from the state as well as greater efficiencies.
We already know it works in the private sector. Consider these mergers, which made two companies stronger as one: American and USAirways in the airlines; Heinz teaming with Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett; Pixar and Disney and Exxon and Mobil.
Do all business mergers work? No, but they stop the bleeding and offer some time for companies to come up with new solutions and revenue streams.
New York state and its tremendous number of governments and schools, however, are running out of revenue streams in its fees and taxes. Residents and businesses are relocating.
Does keeping our 19th-century form of government and school districts alive fix the problem? For the last decade, the answer has been quite clear.
Even though far too many of our elected leaders do not want to believe it, including those in Lakewood, Cuomo has it right.
So next time you hear a government or school official talk about a "tight" or "bare bones budget," know they are being honest about it. Just also know they are not being honest about finding a solution, which currently exists in consolidation.
Military heroes are needed.

Apps at CES: Microsoft's Ballmer Really Doesn't Have a Clue
Call me a disrespectful cynic, but this isn't quite to the level of Springsteen showing up at a Gaslight Anthem show, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine joining Bruce or Brandon Flowers of the Killers covering the Boss at the freaking Stone Pony! (Be sure to go to Page Two for some true YouTube greatness!). Not even close.
If Apple's (AAPL) Tim Cook or Twitter founder/ Square CEO Jack Dorsey or Amazon.com (AMZN) top dawg Jeff Bezos or Howard Schultz of Starbucks (SBUX) or TheStreet's Jim Cramer stepped on that Las Vegas stage last night, the world, not just nerddom, would have had reason for excitement.
To his credit: Ballmer, as is often the case , did come off like a rock star on a hallucinatory trip.
I had to double-check with my girls in Vegas to make sure I got this right, but here's what Ballmer said last night. And this is what all of the scribes feverishly pounded out for the news wires last night.
We have seen the number of apps in our Windows Marketplace, available on Windows tablets, increase five-fold since October .
He's probably just a quick typer so forgive the spelling errors, but a guy who sent me a Tweet said it best:
Right on. If you have ever experienced the "Windows Marketplace," particularly if you have experience with Apple's App Store, you know what I mean. It's full of garbage. It's akin to Netflix (NFLX) loading its library with cheesy knock-offs of Disney (DIS) films ( nice that they will not need to do that pretty soon! ).
Quantity means nothing. Quality and user experience. These types of things matter. So Ballmer said ...
Soon, we will have the Twitter app and the Dropbox app and even the CNN app! .
These are all paraphrases, by the way, thus the italics and no quotes. But you dig. This is what he said. The Twitter app is coming to Windows! .
Pardon my French, but talk about a half-ass embarrassing launch of software and hardware. Steve Jobs would have drowned somebody in the Pacific Ocean if this happened at Apple during his tenure.
Getting the Twitter app is not news. It's not something you tease and tout. It's expected. When I had a Windows Phone, I couldn't believe it didn't have Pandora (P) . What a joke.
This is the type of stuff you straighten out before the launch. It's an insult to the consumer and the entire space to put out crap like Microsoft does, and then basically say this was just a pilot. We have the good stuff coming. That doesn't fly.

Neuromonitoring with the microdialysis technique is now being utilized at the bedside. Cerebral metabolism monitoring enables identification of clinical events hours or even days before clinical examination changes, providing clinical staff an opportunity for earlier intervention. Cerebral microdialysis also allows clinicians to evaluate the impact of therapeutics on cerebral metabolism and certain metabolic patterns, which can trigger specific alerts and/or clinical protocols. Cerebral metabolism monitoring through microdialysis can guide clinicians to institute therapeutic measures that prevent the occurrence of secondary injury. This article focuses on the state-of-the-art application of cerebral microdialysis, the rationale for its use, and the nursing implications of this technique.

The Feast of St. Matthias teaches us how the Lord always seeks to bring good out of evil and faith out of betrayal.

FALL RIVER, MA (Catholic Online). The Year of Faith is taking place after years of terrible scandal, especially the dual scandal of wolves in shepherds' clothing abusing rather than loving those young people entrusted to their care and the failure of those in responsibility to do everything necessary as icons of the Good Shepherd to defend these lambs from those predators.
Today's feast of St. Matthias gives us a particular window into one way each of us - and the whole Church - is supposed to respond to those scandals.
At the beginning of today's reading, St. Peter describes the betrayal of Judas. Judas had been chosen by the Lord Jesus himself after Jesus pulled an all-nighter in prayer. He had been hand-selected by name. He was formed directly by Jesus in an intimate friendship for three years. He had been sent out by him to preach the Good News in his Name. He had received from him the power to cast out demons and to cure the sick. He had seen Jesus work countless miracles and in Jesus' name he and the apostles had worked countless others.
Yet, despite all of this, he turned out to be a traitor. He who had followed the Lord up close for 1000 days, who had had his feet washed by him, who had seen him walk on water, raise people from the dead, and forgive sinners, betrayed him, valuing him less than 30 pieces of silver, and betraying him by faking an act of love and friendship.
Jesus didn't choose Judas to betray him. He chose him to be like all the others. But Judas was always free, and he used his freedom to allow Satan to enter into him, and by his betrayal, ended up getting Jesus crucified and murdered.
We see that right from the beginning, right from the first twelve Jesus himself chose, one was a terrible traitor. This points to a fact we need to confront: sometimes God's chosen ones betray him.
The early Church confronted this fact and with the power of the Holy Spirit saw how God wants to draw good evil out of the worst evil. If the scandal caused by Judas was all the members of the early Church had focused on, the Church would have been finished before it even started to grow. Instead, the Church recognized that you don't judge something by those who don't live it, but by those who do.
Instead of focusing on the one who betrayed, they focused on the mission Christ had entrusted to them.
And so Peter, commenting on the words of Psalm 109, "May another take his office," declared to the group of 120 disciples, "It is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his resurrection."
They then turned to the Lord in prayer and asked him who knows every heart to indicate the one he had chosen to take the place Judas had once filled among the twelve. They entrusted themselves to his judgment and cast lots. And St. Matthias won the divine ballot and joined the eleven as apostles.
Back in 2006, in his beautiful catecheses on the Apostles, Benedict XVI said, "We know nothing else about [Matthias], except that he had been a witness to all Jesus' earthly events, remaining faithful to him to the end. To the greatness of his fidelity was later added the divine call to take the place of Judas, almost compensating for his betrayal."
He said that we draw from this an important lesson about how we're likewise called to compensate for the scandalous betrayals that occur within the Church in every age.
"While there is no lack of unworthy and traitorous Christians in the Church," Benedict said, "it is up to each of us to counterbalance the evil done by them with our clear witness to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior."
The response to infidelity has to be fidelity. While many allow scandals to weaken their faith, the Lord wants our response to allow the scandals to spur us on to deeper faith. Our faith - even and especially in difficult circumstances caused by the shame of scandal - is the principle way we make reparation for the failures of others.
Sometimes the greatest motivation we can have to live the life of faith comes precisely when we repent for the disfigurement of the Church through scandals.
I'd like to share two personal examples.
Twenty-five years ago when I was in college, one of the many priests who would celebrate daily Mass was irreverent toward Jesus in the Eucharist in a way that used to make me wince. He would slam the consecrated Host on to the paten, hold up the chalice as if he were merely going through the motions as quickly as he could, and wouldn't give us even a nanosecond to kneel at the end of the Lamb of God to behold that very Lamb in his fingertips as we prayed for the healing grace to be made worthy to receive Him under our roof.
I'm convinced he never intended to be irreverent, but a general sloppiness had creeped into his ars celebrandi and the bad habits had just become so routine that he didn't even notice the counter-gospel he was proclaiming by his body language.
At first I was scandalized and frankly angry as I would kneel in my pew during his Masses. I was still at this point still discerning whether God was in fact calling me to be a priest and the Lord used the whole circumstance to strengthen the priestly vocation he had in fact given me. "Lord, please give me a priestly vocation so that I can treat you as you deserve!," I found myself praying over and over again. The example of unintended reverence spurred me to resolve always to be consciously devout in the celebration of the Mass when I would have the awesome experience of approaching the Lord's holy altar myself.
Likewise, during what George Weigel called the "long Lent of 2002," the year in which four decades of hidden scandals of the sexual abuse of minors all came to light at basically same time, when every day it seemed like it couldn't get worse only to get worse on the morrow, I was filled, like so many Catholics, with shame and anger.
I was also suffering on account of the scandals. Parents at the health club where I would go to exercise would hide their children from me behind their legs as I entered. An SUV on streets of Boston once pulled over asking me for directions and as I approach to help, both the adult driver and passenger spat on my face. Riding on an elevator at a hospital going to visit a sick parishioner, a doctor entered, and as the doors closed and we began to ascend together, said, "I've never been on an elevator with a pedophile before." Worst of all, I saw so many people scandalized and committing spiritual suicide, separating themselves off from Christ by cutting themselves off from the Sacraments and the Church Christ had founded.
It was during those tough days that I remembered the words I had once read in a book of meditations by St. Josemaria Escriva, that every crisis is a crisis of saints. So many times in Church history the Church has gouged herself with the self-inflicted wounds of scandal. But at every time the Church hit a low point, God raised up saints to bring the Church back to its real mission. It's almost as if in the times of greatest darkness, Jesus called and helped people to radiate his light more brightly.
For years I had had an awareness that God calls "everyone" to become a saint and generally too this universal call to holiness seriously. But nothing ever spurred me to get serious about responding to the means the Lord gives us to unite our whole lives to him like the revelations of the scandals among priests.
I saw that in response to the various Judases whose names and photos were splattered on front pages across the country, the Lord was going to be calling new Saint Matthiases and giving the graces necessary to live up to that vocation. So that's when I joined a priestly society dedicated to helping diocesan priests become holy in the midst of their ordinary duties.
I've seen the face of St. Matthias in many of the priestly vocations the Lord has called over the last decade. When I was responding to my priestly vocation in the 80s and 90s, many of my peers, upon being told I thought the Lord was calling me to be a priest, would tease me as if I were gay and not interested in marriage. For the seminarians who have come after the scandals, they've been teased in a far worse way. But it hasn't deterred them. Many of them have told me that one of the things that led to their discerning their priestly vocation - or strengthening them in following that call - was that they knew the Church deserved better, and was better, than how she was being portrayed as a result of the scandals. They were willing to say, as Isaiah before them, "Here I am, Lord. Send me!"
Each in our own way is called to be a St. Matthias. In response to the defects of those in the Church, including but not limited to those in positions of leadership, we can either remain critical and have it weaken our faith, or begin the process of reparation and self-criticism and have it strengthen our faith. When others fail in giving witness to Christ by their behavior, when they fail to love others as Christ has loved us first, when they fail to bear fruit that will last, our vocation is not to wag the finger, but to pick up the torch and towel and give the witness of faith and Christ-like love that Christ and the Church deserve. Â
This Year of Faith is a chance for all of us to become St. Matthiases. In a sense, the Lord has chosen all of us, not by lot, but by eternal design. These present crises are the spur for us to resolve to respond to his assistance to become the saints he died and rose and sent the Holy Spirit for us to bring about.

So for everyone who has concerns, questions about sending a device to Nokia for repair, I'll document my experience here. I have to send in my 820 bought off Ebay for a broken volume down button. I've dealt with Nokia for a 900 repair (also bought off Ebay) and had great success. Here's where I am so far.
Step 1) Enter the phone's serial number (underneath the battery) on Nokia's "warranty check" section of their website. It will tell you it is under 1 year warranty (which, obviously, all Lumia 820s are).
Step 2) Print out UPS shipping label and put your phone (minus the battery, sim card, sd card, and back shell) into some sort of padded envelope.
Step 3) Drop off at UPS store or give it to any UPS driver you see. It's 2nd day air, so they should get it pretty quickly.
Next what will happen is Nokia will receive the unit, confirm it needs a warranty repair, and ship a new (or refurbished, but looking new, probably not your same device) back to you. Turn around time is usually within 2 weeks. You can check your repair status updates on Nokia's website.
So I dropped off the phone at 8:30 am pacific time on Monday January 14th. For now, I'm back on a Samsung Focus. Oh well.

Slightly different process I experienced in the UK.
Via the Nokia Care website I went through a couple of troubleshooting questions. I was then asked to enter the phones IMEI number. A UPS courier was then booked to collect my 920 from my home address, who then took the phone and shipped it to the repair centre. A replacement 920 was sent back to me a week later.

mine is on its way back to me after its second repair. The support log says that it has been repaired which I suspect means that they have re-flashed the firmware on it. I hope not, as it has been back twice now and Im sick of being without my primary device. Will be checking the IEMI number and if it goes again, I will be returning it for a full refund and buy another

Nokia changed parts in mine (the battery I believe) as opposed to changing the device.
Well, no good news to report here. They received my phone on Wednesday the 16th (so UPS did deliver it 2 day air) - but they sat on it until Thursday the 17th. They sent me a simple email stating "we've received the device" and when you check their online repair stauts update, it just shows as "in repair".
So today I did an online chat with a rep and they're "escalating" my case. They said normally it takes 4 business days to get a phone call back, but they're putting mine as priority. I think they lost my phone. I gave them my phone number and will update everyone with what they say.
Its really disappointing because I had such good experience with Nokia repair last year for a Lumia 900. This is really odd. I'm not worried, I know they'll make it right, but I'm going on 10 days without my primary device and its starting to get frustrating.
Received a call from "Joel" at Nokia today, stating I should have the device in my hands no later than 1/30 (one week from today). They will send an email with their findings. He tried to warn me that if the phone was dropped it wouldn't be covered and then asked me if I tried to go through AT&T already. After I told him it wasn't dropped and AT&T are pricks about taking phones back after 14 days, he stated they'll take care of it and not to worry.
So, we'll see what happens - if I have the phone in a week and its fixed, all is good. If not, I'll have to complain and will have been let down for the first time by Nokia's customer service.
UPDATE : I emailed Mr. Elop last night about the lack of information regarding the repair, he responded with the generic "I'm sorry and I'll have someone from my team look into it" response, buut at least it was a response.
Today I get a phone call from Hazel in some sort of customer service department, who stated the reason they have not repaired/replaced my phone is because they have NO stock of the Lumia 820 and are waiting on a new supply. So even NOKIA doesn't have their own phones in stock, and this isn't even the 920 but the "lower model" 820! I'm happy they're doing so well that they're selling all their devices, but wtf? How does your repair department NOT have any phones to ship to customers?
Oh well, I told her it would be helpful if they could keep the repair website updated with more information instead of the generic "your device is being analysed or repaired" and she said they'll take that into advisement. Whatever - I should get a replacement 820 next week.
Will continue to update the thread next week as more develops.
Another update - tomorrow is 10 business days, which is Nokia's promised maximum turnaround time, which they stated they NEVER go longer than 10 business days without a customer receiving the repaired phone or a replacement.
So today I call in because it takes at least 1 business day to overnight a phone to someone, so they HAVE to send it today, right? Turns out they are STILL out of stock on the 820 and have NO estimated date when the phone is coming in.
Basically we're at the point where they're going to have to send me a brand new 920, even though I sold a 920 to get an 820. She's calling back today with an option for me once she finds out exactly when the 820 will be back in stock. I'm getting pretty frustrated by Nokia at this point, which I never thought possible - they used to have such great repair service.
Its also pretty suspicious they have ZERO 820s in stock. I've read about some defects like the screen getting moisture under them, so maybe they had to have their design adjusted and new stock created? I dunno.
UPDATE : So yesterday was 10th business day, and I was pissed that I had no phone, so after I called and *****ed again, the rep I had been dealing with promised to find me a phone and ship it TODAY. Well, needless to say, she did.
She "managed to locate" ONE Lumia 820 and get it shipped. So I've got a "brand new" (according to them) 820 on the way and it should be here tomorrow.
My advice to ANYONE shipping an 820 to Nokia for repair - don't. They apparently don't keep them in stock - ever.

Arrests relieve town
June 26, 2007
With arrests made in a two-year-old murder investigation, Causey residents are expressing relief. At the same time they're sobered by the fact that those accused lived in their tiny community.
District Attorney Matt Chandler announced Monday that federal indictments had been handed down against two men from the Causey area.
Those indictments charged Donald Taylor, 27, of Rogers with racketeering and murder in connection with the death of Jimmy "Bo" Chunn, 71, a Causey rancher. Billy Joe Watson, 42, was charged with racketeering as well, and both are charged with conspiracy in the manufacturing of methamphetamine.
Chandler would not comment on how Watson was connected to the July 2005 homicide.
Taylor has been in police custody since July 2005 on unrelated charges, according to Chandler. Watson was arrested Monday.
Chunn's body was found in his Causey-area living room on July 8, 2005. Investigators say he was killed by a single gunshot through a window of his home. They believe Chunn died several days before his body was found.
Chunn's daughter, Karen Chandler of Portales, said Watson was a longtime friend of the family and she said she's struggling to deal with that.
"We're just very pleased that they've made an arrest," Karen Chandler said.
Causey resident Kris King said he had done odd jobs for Chunn and had bought hay from Watson, but he said he wasn't really acquainted with Taylor.
King said he was relieved that indictments had been issued but he was kind of surprised by Watson's arrest.
"It's been a long time and you keep it in the back of your mind," King said of the investigation into Chunn's death.
Roosevelt County Sheriff Darren Hooker said because the indictments are under federal seal he can't comment on the case. He also said some elements of the investigation are continuing.
"We're glad that it's kind of getting to an end," Hooker said. "The biggest thing it's going to do for us is give some peace of mind to our community. That unknown was a constant drain on my staff as well as the unanswered questions."
Hooker said while the community will have answers to some of its questions about the crime, other questions are going to be raised. He said closure might take a while.
"Maybe it will be the beginning of the road to get over this," Hooker said.
Hooker acknowledged the case clouded the sheriff's election last year and said that is unfortunate. He praised the work of his predecessor, Tom Gossett, in investigating the case.
Karen Chandler said while the length of the investigation has been difficult for the family, she is appreciative of the efforts of Gossett's and Hooker's administrations as well as the help of the Portales Police Department and district attorney's staff.
"Law enforcement officials have done a great job," she said.

I didnt recall John posting about getting bad bags of flour and how he had to constantly adjust his dough formulation from bag to bag of flour. I guess I could have gotten a bad bag of flour. I had purchased two bags at the same time, but didnt open the second one yet. I sure dont want to adjust my dough formulation each time to adapt to the variations in the flour. I think I was lucky that the dough worked out as well as it did with me just throwing in extra flour. I was also concerned I was going to overmix the dough, but I guess that didnt happen. What do you suggest I do? I dont want that mess again next week and not being sure I will have dough I can use the next day.
What would constitute a "bad bag of flour" ?
Norma,My comments on John's experiences with flour variations was intended to apply only to normal flour variations that can occur from lot to lot. A good example of John's discussion on this point can be found in the thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,5867.msg50238.html#msg50238.From what I have read, some variations in flours from lot to lot are to be expected. Some of these variations, and also some of their effects on dough made using such flours, are mentioned in the thread referenced above. It is hard to say that your bag of flour is bad but recently members tscaife and Larry (thezaman) apparently got bad bags of flour, as was discussed in the thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21139.msg212577.html#msg212577, and a while back member bakerboy (Barry) experienced a problem with his flour, as he noted in Reply 71 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,18075.msg188283.html#msg188283. In your case, you might check with your supplier to see if he has been getting complaints or inquiries from other users about the flours that they have been receiving recently from that supplier. Or you might simply say that your flour is not performing properly and ask for replacement flour. Peter
Norma,If it wasn't the flour, maybe the problem is the changing season. I recalled that Tom Lehmann wrote an article at PMQ about the types of problems that commonly arise when the seasons change. I found the link for the article (http://www.pmq.com/mag/2006march/lehmann.php) but it no longer works. This is a problem I have been running into since PMQ went to digital publications. However, I was able to retrieve the old paper magazine article using the Wayback Machine. The archived Wayback Machine version of the article is at http://web.archive.org/web/20100326065639/http://www.pmq.com/mag/2006march/lehmann.php. You should click on the Impatient? link. A lot of the article doesn't apply to your outdoor setting but maybe some of the suggestions that Tom makes still apply to your situation. Since that setting is much different than the typical pizzeria or bakery setting, that might help explain why the Kyrol distributor did not get any complaints from other customers.Peter
Have you improved your dough as a result of your endless experimentation Norma?
John,I am not sure if I improved my dough or not with my endless experimentation. I am only doing a one day cold fermented Lehmann dough right now for market. Norma
Norma,Is the pizza molder something you're going to regularly use or do you feel you pretty much already are able to form your pie's satisfactorily without it?
As you know I love to tinker too, I just was hoping you had some firm takeaways in light of all your testing.It's the journey, not the destination, right?
Did you hear anything from JimmyG?
I haven't, but I trust he is just super busy with academic stuff and doesn't have much spare time at the moment.

Summer/Fall 2000
Volume 5 Number 1
We all struggle with the thought of one of our children lying
dead in a warm pool of blood at a Colorado school or on a Pennsylvania playground. But I
fear we have been too quiet for too long and have accepted
too much violence, as it roars
through our cities and suburbs like the funnel cloud of a deadly
tornadoindiscriminate as to the age or race of its victims.
So when Rabbi Eric Yoffle, president of the Union of American Hebrew
stepped to the microphone on the Mall and said, "Is the need for sensible gun control
a religious issue? You bet it is," the applause was more deafening than any bullet
exploding from the barrel of a handgun.*
The congregation of Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, formed a
Violence Task Force in 1994, following the shooting deaths that summer of two young girls,
ages six and seven, in Philadelphia. The headline of a moving editorial in the
Philadelphia Inquirer, following six-year-old Michele Cutners death, read,
"Will a shooting spur us to tears
or to change?" The writer went on to say,
"When the anger is fresh and fierce, when our hearts clench like a fist with pain, we
always think this is the time we will change." The writers wife was the social
worker who had to notify Micheles family, waiting in Childrens Hospital, that
she was dead.
When I read of the second shooting, which took the life of Felicia Colon, I looked at
the news photo of her mother, hunched over in nauseating grief on the steps of her home,
and thought to myself, "What if that bullet had penetrated the brain of
Elisabeth?" (my own six-year-old).
As pastors, as Christians, I realized we must no longer simply furrow our brows while
reading about the funerals of completely innocent six-year-olds and then flip to the
funnies without pausing to think: "Where does violence like that come from?
And what
can we do about it?" Enough is enough. It is time, as Bill Bradley phrased it, for
"a national rebellion against violence." We must begin to un-numb ourselves to
the violence that is ripping communities and families apart.
FBI statistics report that in 1996 handguns were used to murder (not counting suicides
and accidents) 2 people in New Zealand, 15 in Japan, 30 in Great Britain, 106 in Canada,
and 9,390 in the United States. Where do rights meet responsibility? Where does faith meet
works? When does what we believe result in what we do?
Christ sacrificed his breath and body to redeem us from the bog of our existence. He
has soaked us with a love that is so strong, so resourceful, and so far-reaching that our
faith cannot help but spill out in the works of our minds and our hands. I thought about
the bracelets our teenagers wear that ask "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?" and realized it
was time to answer that question with action.
Perhaps change can be motivated by the lively faces of our living children. Must we
wait until your child or mine is ripped from time and space by a senseless bullet? This
evening, as you say good-night to your niece or grandchild, remember that is the child who
has the power to change us. Let it be so. We must rebel against violence
for the sake of
the living and not only for those we have lost.
Form a Violence Task Force at your church. Call the General Assembly offices for PCUSA
action-information (502-569-5803). Join one of the newly forming Million Mom March
chapters (800-746-4464 or email email@example.com
or write MMM, San Francisco General Hospital, San Francisco, CA 94110). Call the Capitol
switchboard (202-224-3121) and speak with your senator or representative. Pray. Speak up.
Believe that you can help prevent guns from killing dreams and then act upon your beliefs
in the hope that guns will no longer kill the dreams of innocent six-year-olds.
"Is the need for sensible gun control a religious issue?" It is time to
answer that question with action.

I just got a nice little yixing pot and have been doing multiple infusions over the course of a day. Is it okay to just keep the leaves in the pot all day and come back to it from time to time?
Is there some risk of bacteria growing in between, or the leaves going bad? For gongfu steeping I get the impression that people usually sit down and do the infusions during one session, so that's why I ask.

SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray
a mild antiseptic cleanser, trapping and rinsing away irritants and germs and leaving your nose fresh and clean.
Frequently Asked Questions – SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray
What is SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray?
If you've tried everything else, from prescriptions to over-the-counter medications, nebulizers, or even sinus surgery, you'll be ecstatic that you found SinoFresh™. SinoFresh™ Homeopathic Nasal Spray is an over-the-counter nasal spray that is changing lives everyday. SinoFresh™ is the first and only product that combines a decade of formulation research with proven cleansing techniques to achieve daily nasal comfort.
SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray is a special blend of therapeutic ingredients for people who struggle with ongoing nasal distress. It works best when used twice daily as a hygienic cleansing routine, and unlike many medicated nasal sprays, SinoFresh™ Homeopathic Nasal Sprat is non-habit forming, non-drying, and will not cause drowsiness. SinoFresh™ is safe for use by children 12 year of age and older, diabetics, pregnant or lactating women, and hypertensive individuals.
I always thought sinusitis was caused by an infection. Is that not true?
By definition, sinusitis is an inflammatory condition of the sinus tissues which, if left untreated, can lead to a sinus infection. What the medical community is now embracing is the theory that inhaled molds and bacteria commonly found in most noses may be a common source of inflammation. It has only been since 1999 that the true role of mold and fungus has been understood. Before that time, mold was thought to be involved in less than 10% of cases of prolonged inflammation and, as such, was not given much attention among medical researchers.
How does SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray work?
The nose acts like a filter collecting the organisms and matter that we breathe. SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray acts like a mild antiseptic cleanser, trapping and rinsing away irritants and leaving your nose fresh and clean. Daily hygienic cleaning with SinoFresh™ helps eliminate nasal irritants before they trigger unpleasant and annoying sensations. Among the organisms and irritants that SinoFresh® may help cleanse away are yeasts, molds, bacteria, dust, pollen, and smoke.
How is SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray different than saline sprays?
Saline sprays are simple solutions consisting primarily of water and sodium chloride (salt). A saline spray's main functions are to rinse and moisturize the nostrils. SinoFresh™ incorporates a base of purified water and sodium chloride, but differs in its inclusion of mint oils and a proprietary blend of antiseptic cleansing ingredients that traps and holds nasal irritants so they may be eliminated. It is the inclusion of the special antiseptic cleansing ingredients and the freshening benefit of the mints that make SinoFresh® a superior nasal hygiene experience.
The SinoFresh® formula and cleansing technique are so unique and effective that they are patented in more than 60 countries, including the United States. No other product is able to provide the same nasal comfort results with virtually no side effects.
Is SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray safe?
All of the ingredients in SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray are common ingredients found in many over-the-counter medications and hygienic products. Each of the ingredients is well studied and has received GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. SinoFresh® has also been used post-operatively or to soothe damaged nasal tissue. In over four years of distribution, with more than 500,000 bottles sold, very few adverse reactions have been reported to the company, and those that have typically involved individuals with unusual sensitivity to mints.
Will my doctor be aware of your product?
SinoFresh HealthCare Products devotes considerable time to the education of healthcare professionals about the benefits of daily cleansing with SinoFresh™ Homeopathic Nasal Spray. On the southwest coast of Florida, where SinoFresh® was test marketed, more than 200 doctors are recommending it to their patients. Dr. Michael Stampar, a prominent Ear, Nose, & Throat physician in Punta Gorda, FL was one of the doctors contacted by SinoFresh.
After reviewing published data, Dr. Stampar began providing SinoFresh® to his patients who came to him with non-allergic nasal symptoms. His patients responded with marked improvement almost 100% of the time, with no adverse effects after months of use. He then began recruiting other physicians to provide SinoFresh™ to their patients. In 2002, Dr. Stampar accepted the position of Chief Medical Officer for SinoFresh HealthCare, and now splits his time between his clinical practice and spreading the word about SinoFresh™ to the medical community.
In addition, Dr. Stampar's wife, Dr. Cathy Criss, has been using SinoFresh for over 6 years in her general practice. Dr. Criss has been a primary care physician for 20 years has seen similar results on a larger scale. Many of her patients that were unresponsive to standard treatments now feel well.
SinoFresh HealthCare Products now maintains a database of several thousand doctors and pharmacists who have been told about SinoFresh™ Homeopathic Nasal Spray. While we do not have a sales force calling on physician practices, we reach the medical community through various means including attending and speaking at medical conventions. Consumers are encouraged to ask their doctor to contact SinoFresh toll free at (888) 460-4774 to receive more information about our products.
Why should I use SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray everyday?
SinoFresh® is non-habit forming, non-drying, and doesn't cause drowsiness. SinoFresh® should be used twice a day as a hygienic health measure very much as dental care should be performed daily to prevent chronic disease of the teeth and gums. The use of SinoFresh® can be even more important for people who travel frequently, people who work among the public on a daily basis, and individuals who work in buildings or in confined spaces with poor ventilation or other environmental concerns. In these situations additional dosing during the period of heavy exposure is recommended.
I've heard of a condition called "rebound congestion." Can you explain it?
Rebound congestion is the medical term for a phenomenon that arises from the overuse of certain over-the-counter, decongestant nasal sprays. These sprays commonly contain active ingredients such as oxymetazoline and phenylepherine, which temporarily relieve congestion by opening the nasal airway. When used short term as directed, this in itself does not pose a serious threat. However, many users get drawn into a cycle of re-medicating over and over as the temporary effect wears off and the congestion comes back (rebounds) worse than before. Decongestant nasal spray dependency can be difficult to break and may become a lifelong problem.
SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray does not rely on decongestant ingredients and will not lead to user dependency.
Is it true that SinoFresh® Homeopathic Nasal Spray may also help people with bad breath?
Halitosis, the clinical term for bad breath, affects almost 80 million Americans. Even routine oral care may not completely curb the problem because approximately 10% of all halitosis is caused by nasal sources. In these cases, all the brushing, flossing or tongue scraping in the world won't completely rid you of the problem. SinoFresh® may help because its detergent effect removes the bacteria-laden mucus that can accumulate at the back of throat and cause odor. Smokers who have accumulations of tar and nicotine in their nose and throat may also find improvement in their breath by using SinoFresh® daily.
What other products are available from SinoFresh HealthCare?
The Company anticipates launching an Antiseptic Throat Spray in the near future. Following that, the pipeline includes a Cold & Flu Nasal and Throat spray and a Snore Relief kit. In the more distant future, the Company is planning to enter into the FDA's New Drug Application process for the treatment of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).
Where can I buy SinoFresh® ?
SinoFresh Homeopathic Nasal Spray is available at most retail outlets through their wholesale distributors, such as Cardinal Health and McKesson. The product can also be ordered online at SinusFresh.com.

Topic: [SOLVED] How to best create models for an Exam with many questions...
The subject about sums it up.
I'm working on a project that will have lessons. Each lesson has_one exam and each exam has many questions. Should I generate a model for exams that links to a separate model for questions and answers or is there a better way to do it. It should be noted that the exams will have different numbers of questions.
I'm just trying to figure out how to do the exam with questions and the correct answers. I'll validate and store/grade user answers later so I don't complicate things.
Also, I'm a beginner at rails and, while I have a basic understanding of associations and models, I'm stuck with how these models should relate to each other.
edit: I guess I should note I'm working with rails 3.2

Trend Alert: Offbeat Plaids
ELLE DECOR: Who were your imaginary clients for this apartment?
ALESSANDRA BRANCA: They're not really imaginary. They're actual clients of mine who live on the Upper East Side, a family of four: two adults, a son about to go off to college, and a daughter in high school. I thought, What if they were to move downtown and embrace a new life in Chelsea? They didn't get rid of everything, keeping their most personal pieces, their inherited furniture, and antiques from their favorite shops like Gerald Bland, Maison Gerard, and David Duncan Antiques. Then they went to some nearby galleries and gathered some new artwork for the next chapter in their lives.
The library of a Manhattan duplex designed by Alessandra Branca for ELLE DECOR's Designer Visions showhouse, a project overseen by Alana Frumkes. The armchair by Anthony Lawrence-Belfair behind the desk and the ottoman are upholstered in fabrics from Branca's new collection for Schumacher; the leather armchair is 1940s French, and the armchair next to the desk is Regency. The light fixture is by Jamb, the painting is by Athos Zacharias, and the photograph is by Candida Höfer; the wallcovering is a Branca fabric, and the rug is by the Rug Company.
ED: Can you describe the layout of the apartment?
AB: It's a duplex that faces south and stretches from east to west, with views on all three sides. The main floor has a large living room with a kitchen and dining room off one side and a library off the other. A master suite and a guest suite are at opposite ends of the first level, and there are two additional bedrooms on the second. There are terraces on the south and west sides of the apartment.
ED: How do you start a project that's this big?
AB: Well, the apartments are brand-new, even though the building is old. It's a wonderful Art Deco landmark from 1929 that has been developed by JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group. It's by one of the period's best architects, Ralph Thomas Walker, which is why it's now called Walker Tower. The units have unusually luxurious finishes, so we didn't even consider changing the layout or altering the kitchen and bathrooms. And it's been installed with state-of-the-art technology thanks to Audio Command Systems and Crestron. California Closets came in to fit out the walk-in closet as a dressing room for the lady of the house, but that was the only real "construction."
ED: Why did you go with dark floors?
AB: I like their reflective quality. People think that dark floors make rooms look darker, but the opposite is true—they reflect more light, which makes rooms look bigger.
In the living area, the center table is 1820s English Regency, the tête-à-tête is custom, and the banquette, vintage Louis XVI–style bergères, and custom stools are upholstered in Branca's Schumacher fabrics. The photograph is by Lawrence Beck, the side table is by Arteriors, the light fixture is by Crystorama, and the walls are painted in high-gloss Benjamin Moore Advance in Stone Hearth.
