"When test scores go up, we should worry, because of how poor a measure they are of what matters, and what you typically sacrifice in a desperate effort to raise scores."
Alfie Kohn
"What can we surmise about the likelihood of someone's being caring and generous, loving and helpful, just from knowing that they are a believer? Virtually nothing, say psychologists, sociologists, and others who have studied that question for decade"
"Most parents want to know what they can do to make their children do as they're told,"
"We think of ways that we can control them, whether it be with a spanking or a gold sticker or a parent constantly saying, 'Good job, good job, good job.' "
"When we do things that are controlling, whether intentional or not, we are not going to get those long-term outcomes,"
"You have to welcome their arguing with you, not to the point of disrespect, but if they are going to stand up for themselves, they need to learn to argue effectively,"
"Sometimes we have to put our foot down, ... but before we deliberately make children unhappy in order to get them to get into the car, or to do their homework or whatever, we need to weigh whether what we're doing to make it happen is worth the possible strain on our relationship with them."
"Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason."
"What is equally striking to me is this ... there isn't a sense of a community solving problems together, rather there's punishment for aberrant individuals."
"You have to give them unconditional love. They need to know that even if they screw up, you love them. You don't want them to grow up and resent you or, even worse, parent the way you parented them."

Lookit! Part 2
The Reno Fun Train left the snow at the Sierra foothills.
According to the bartender in the dome car, this was the most low-key group he'd ever seen on the Fun Train.
One of the reasons seemed to be that most of the passengers had stayed up all weekend and drank too much in Reno, so the majority of them were in their seats sleeping.
This worked out well since we were able to spend the whole day in the elevated dome car, which usually gets too full.
We chatted up a programmer from Citrus Heights, an ugly suburb next door to Sacramento. She told us that downtown Reno had become frightening to her because all the riff-raff was being allowed to hang out freely. "It didn't used to be that way. The casinos wouldn't allow it."
There were plenty of people who were still ready to play cards...
...and happily drink the afternoon away.
...until the sun went down.
At Sacramento, half the passengers exited at their great old train station.
The destruction of American passenger rail service during the last half of the 20th century is one of the great shames of our time, involving greed, stupidity and above all short-sightedness.
Besides employing lots of people, including Regina, who was working her first run ever as an Amtrak employee...
...it's also ecologically superior to car culture in every way.
Plus, there is a sensuality about train travel...
...with its constant movement...
...and the squeezing past fellow passengers in crowded aisles...
...that is unparalleled except while traveling on a boat, which has a very similar feel. Check it out.

I really enjoy your photos, travels and comments. YES, a pity for the stupidity of trying to end rail service. ONE DAY these railroads may be needed but corporate greed has tried to eliminate as many rails as possible. Your site is very much enjoyed. How about a trek to some of the great Tenderloin bars?? Who's now working at the Gangway???? etc etc
great photos, I'm glad you had a break.

I read that you cannot get insurance when you have just a learner's permit. You have to be a licensed driver. Until then, you should be covered by the insurance of the parent/guardian that you are required to drive with. I saw that on Refinance Car Loan

Maybe I've got my terminology wrong, but isn't the rear view mirror typically considered the mirror inside the vehicle located on or above the windshield which gives the driver a view to the rear vs. the mirrors on the side of the vehicle which I tend to hear described as driver side mirror or passenger side mirror?
If this is the case . . . I am trying my hardest to picture exactly how the two of you were banging rear view mirrors . . . and about all I can come up with is one heckuva two car head-on collision. ;):D
Good catch Jason, how about driver's side side mirrors? It was quick though, there were still 2 other caches to get to!:)
It's a good thing Dan is in a business where the manner of how a statement is worded doesn't really matter. Oh wait! :p:eek::p

And there came to Sym as he walked afield
Deep thoughts of the world and the
folk of Gosh.
He saw the idols to which they kneeled;
He marked them cringe to the name
of Splosli.
Is it meet," he asked, "that a soul should
To a purple robe or a gilded chair?"
But his father walked to the garden's wall
And stooped to a rose-bush flowering
Said he: "Whenever a bursting bloom
Looks up to the sun, may a soul find room
For a measure of awe at the wondrous birth
Of one more treasure to this glad earth."
Said he: "Whenever a dewdrop clings
To a gossamer thread, and glitters and swings,
Deep in humility bow your head
To a thing for a blundering rnortal's
And there came to Sym in his later youth,
With the first clear glance in the face
of guile,
Thirst for knowledge and thoughts of truth,
Of gilded baubles, and things worth while.
And he said, "There is much that a Glug should
But his mind is clouded, his years are
Then joi, the father, he answered low
As his thoughts ran back to the youth
he knew.
Said he: "Whenever the West wind stirs,
And birds in feathers and beasts in furs
Steal out to dance in the glade, lie still:
Let your heart teach you what it will."
Said he: "Whenever the moonlight creeps
Thro' inlaced boughs, a'nd a shy star
Adown from its crib in the cradling sky,
Know of their folly who fear to die."
New interest came to the mind of Sym,
As 'midst his fellows he lived and
But the ways of the Glug folk puzzled him;
For some won honour, while some were foiled;
Yet all were filled with a vague unrest
As they climbed their trees in an endless
But joi, the father, he mocked their quest,
When he marked a Glug on his hard-won
Said he: "Whenever these tales are heard
Of the Feasible Dog or the Guffer Bird,
Then laugh and laugh till the fat tears
To the roots of the joy-bush deep in your
When you see them squat on the tree-tops high,
Scanning for ever that heedless sky,
Lie flat on your back on the good, green
And roar till the great vault echoes your
As he walked in the city, to Sym there came
Sounds envenomed with fear and hate,
Shouts of anger and words of shame,
As Glug blamed Glug for his woeful state.
"This blame?" said Sym, "Is it mortal's
To blame his fellow for aught he be?"
But the father said, "Do we blame the night
When darkness gathers and none can see?"
Said he: "Whenever there springs from earth
A plant all crooked and marred at birth,
Shall we, unlearned in the Gardener's
Blame plant or earth for the faults
that seem?"
Said he: "Whenever your wondering eyes
Look out on the glory of earth and skies,
Shall you, 'mid the blessing
of fields a-bloom,
Fling blame at the blind man, prisoned
in gloom?"

Garage Chic
While it's Texas billionaire David Bonderman's prerogative to pay the Rolling Stones nearly $7 million to play a 40-minute set at his birthday bash, you've got to wonder what real "Satisfaction" he derives from the exchange. Does he imagine the Stones having a preshow huddle in his honor, collectively deciding, "Look, the ol' man's coughing up a lot of dough and he wants to hear Jumping Jack Flash' so let's not phone it in tonight for a change. And Keef, save the Jack Daniel's for after the show, m'kay?" Of course not! They barreled through the same set of fossilized monuments as if this were a gig at the old Anaheim Stadium, not a private party.
So the rich get richer and the poorer get, er, rawer. Sixties garage bands that didn't strike it rich following the Stones into fuzz-pedal territory are now turning out the best shows of their careers on the other side of 50. There's Sky Saxon pushing too hard with a new set of Seeds, Arthur Lee fresh out of jail with re-re-revisited Love, the reconstituted Electric Prunes, Sean Bonniwell's Music Machine, and the Chocolate Watchband. They're all coming out of retirement and all playing as if their lives -- or a month's rent -- depend on it.
These pioneers of punk have another thing in common: They're all buddies with the Hypno-Twists, Phoenix's premium outlet for Nuggets-style punk, spaghetti Western boleros, Latin mambos, snake-charming ragas and psychedelia.
Emerald Lounge, 1414 North Seventh Avenue
Play every Wednesday night. The show is free. Call 602-256-9705 for more information.
"We [recently] opened for the Seeds," says a clearly geeked Jelly Roll Joel, the Hypnos' guitarist, who followed Sky Saxon all around the Nita's Hideaway parking lot in Tempe for 45 minutes waiting for the Seeds' singer to relinquish the Sharpie and finish autographing his Seeds album sleeve. "We'd seen Sky back in '89 and he was much more coherent this time around. Not so rambling and insane talking about channeling the ghost of Jim Morrison."

The five-piece Hypno-Twists just celebrated their two-year anniversary as a band, and over that time they've become among the city's only good excuses to get trashed on a Wednesday. The band, whose members are in their late 20s and early 30s, continues the musical voodoo with Wicked Eye, its second album, filled with instrumental covers and vertigo-inspired originals.
"A lot of the retro-'60s bands nowadays are very one-dimensional," complains Joel. "They'll do a song that sounds like Satisfaction' and every other song they play sounds the same way. Or a lot of bands will just do surf instrumentals, or they just do lounge. We want to do all that stuff."
It must be a pain for a band as musically eclectic as the Hypno-Twists to rehearse in a band room facility in southern Phoenix that caters to only one very bad, very loud strand of rock. "I don't know where all these heavy metal bands gig," wonders Joel. "I think many of 'em just play here." It's almost a living museum of what the Arizona music scene was like in the early '90s, when Joel and Hypno-drummer Philthy Phil were toiling in Cruel Daddy Doom and the Hemlocks.
"We actually had a pretty good Phoenix following. All the punk rock kids liked us a lot but very few other people got it all," adds Phil, who switched over from guitar to drums at the Hypnos' inception.
"The music was pretty much what we do now, only much more," recalls Joel. "A bit more vague, more psyche. It was rawer because we weren't as good playing so we ended up sounding more juvenile, I guess. And we never had an organist 'cause we could never find one."
Enter Vox vixen Tula Storm, who had never played in a band before. "I used to teach comp[arative literature] at ASU . . . in another life," she trails off with a laugh. "I'd been in school for so long I finished with my master's degree and felt there was something else out there." Storm soon hooked up with another closet musician, horn player Jimmy Vespa, who confesses, "I'd never really played in bands. I just collected records." One particularly suspect LP was responsible for the group's hyphenated name.
"We took the name from a '60s fitness record," says Vespa, laughing. "When you flipped the cover over, it said Hypno-twist.' It had the whirl pattern and a place for your feet; you stand on it, you put the feet together and you twist." Ironically, that's about as much room as most Hypno fans have to dance on their weekly Wednesday night gigs at the Emerald Lounge, at Seventh Avenue and McDowell.
Eventually, they were joined by bassist El Tato, who played in Joel's snooty side project the Jazz Core Trio, and by Bobby Lava. Although the band hasn't made any announcements, Lava recently left the Hypnos to devote full attention to his other band Killbot (see the story on page 94), as well as a third band, Kongo Shock. The group has had a busy month of gigging to recover from the missing-man syndrome. The loss of Lava's leads has given the band a more primal sound, with Storm's organ cutting through the din most of all. And Vespa's happy because he now has the luxury of taking two steps instead of one when he blows his trumpet on the Emerald's cramped stage!
It's impossible to tell the Hypno-Twists story without touching on the band's home base. The sextet began its Wednesday night Emerald residency when bands were still bunched up in the front room and pool tables still resided in the back. Once classified as a dive bar, the Emerald has been upgraded to a funky cultural mecca, no small thanks to the Hypno-habit of projecting kitschy go-go movies and Mexican wrestling flicks onstage to compete with the clouds of nicotine swirling overhead for airspace. "It's the only bar I know where the smokers complain about the smoke," Joel jokes. "But God I love that place. The regular Wednesday night gig affords the band the advantage of swapping gigs with out-of-town bands who almost never find good Wednesday nights on the road."
"Pipeline" isn't just a cover song in regular rotation (check out the original by the Chantays), it's something the band is striving toward building, an interstate, intercity band network where bands swap gigs and sleeping accommodations. But are there enough like-minded bands out there to network with the Hypno-Twists?
"We don't really wanna play with bands that are like us, necessarily," insists Storm. "We'd rather play with good rock 'n' roll bands. One of our favorite bands is Devotchka from Denver. . . . They're like us in some ways and not like us at all. They have a Middle Eastern vocalist and cello. We had the coolest show we ever had with them in Flagstaff."
Already, the Hypnos have tapped into the aforementioned garage psychedelia set. Some new ardent fans of the Hypno-Twists include Rudi Protrudi of the Fuzztones and James Lowe of the Electric Prunes. Both penned blurbs for Wicked Eye, and Lowe filmed one of the band's echo-bombarding, sensual sets for inclusion in a "history of psychedelia" video he's working on. Plus, Protrudi invited Joel and Storm to play on the next Fuzztones album. When the Prunes and Chocolate Watchband played the Bay Area's Great American Music Hall on November 16, Storm was invited to play organ on the Prunes' second hit "Get Me to the World on Time."
"We saw the Prunes do their first show in 32 years in Riverside, California," says Storm. "They were amazed at how we were so into them. They only played a half-hour but they were mind-boggling. We partied with them all night and then drove back to Phoenix." Then came the dawn and they were gone!
Kicking back and listening to the Hypno-Twists live, it's easy to be of two minds. It's a cultural high in an age of radio apartheid to hear an Ennio Morricone cover like "Aces High" and then have the band launch into "I'm Rowed Out," a punky steal of the Who's "Can't Explain," made even more obnoxious by the fact that the Eyes were the Who's contemporaries. Yet what place is there for the music Wicked Eye celebrates in an era where the commercially viable instrumental music is techno (where individual instruments aren't even discernible)?
"When there's no singer, people don't know what to think," says Phil of the band's 50/50 policy of vocals and instrumentals. "It's just been so beat into them that you gotta listen to this person saying a bunch of words you've heard 100 times anyway. But, hey, you're always gonna get instant gratification with a song like Cold Slaw.'"
Adds Joel, "My favorite part after every show is when people come up to us and say, What's that song called when you guys yell out "hey"?' And I get to tell them it's called Hey'!"

I'm writing this hoping first of all that this is the correct category to place a question about the banana tree anatomy. I've been looking on the site for the anatomy of the tree and hhavent found any info as of yet. Could somebody post personal photos or even ones that are not personal describing and showing the anatomy and poiting at the terms. For example the petiole, pup sucker pstem etc. Could be a bit confusing for newbies as myself and having lack of knowledge in the use of terminology and what things are. Thanks in advance.

True Beauty Files: The Senti-mentalist
{Sweater: Gap (similar), Tank: Guess (thrifted), Coated Jeans: H&M (similar), Flats: F21 (similar here or here), floppy hat: H&M , Necklace: c/o LYLIF, Tote: Asos}
Gabe bought this hat for me on our last date.
I am drawn to hats (surprise- its an accessory;)) and I like to think of it as something I inherited from my grandmother. She has quite the collection of hats of all shapes and sizes, and they each have a story to go with them. My grandparents never had much money, but she always made sure to look her best and wear her finest to church on Sundays. This hat made me think of her as soon as I tried it on.
I am realizing more as I get older how much of a sentimentalist I am.
I don't think I will be sleeping much in the next few days as the elections approach.
So much is at stake, and never has the country been so divided on moral issues in my opinion. (Well at least not since the Civil War.) Gabe and I already voted with early voting here in GA. Trying not to stress, and just keep praying God will allow us a strong leader for our country. I think with young children, the future has never felt more important.
Happy voting!
The True Beauty Files
A lookbook for the modern modeste.
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."
~ Audrey Hepburn

My Blog - A Pretty NestCan we talk about the hat envy I have? I adore hats but have always purchased them in black/grey...I am DYING for a wine/oxblood one...have my eye on one from Boden...I think I should pull the trigger, seeing how adorable you look in yours.
Hope all is well. My family is still without power here at the Jersey Shore after Sandy, but considering some lost their homes...we are counting our blessings.
Best to you always.

First: *HUGS*
Second: No, you're NOT a slut. Or worthless.
Third: I'm so, SO sorry you find yourself in this situation. He sounds emotionally abusive, "punishing" you and threatening you like that. You are under no obligation to have ANY sex with him, let alone only when he wants to or on his time table.
It's not my place to say whether or not he loves you, but I can say that from what you've posted he does not seem to be acting in a loving manner towards you. A loving person wouldn't be trying to make you feel like a bad person. I'm perpetually messy too, and sometimes it annoys my husband, especially as I'm home with the kids while he works, but he ASKS me to work on changes. Being messy in no way makes you a bad person. It just makes you, well, messy.
Also, in regards to living on your own, plenty of students with part-time jobs find roommates to make rent. It IS possible, even if you have no other friends or family locally that you can crash with. No offense to your other guy, but I wouldn't want to live in Edmonton either!
I definitely think therapy, both individual and couples, is needed for you both. If he doesn't want to, then you at least need to go for yourself to get you out of the mental space you're currently in. Helpless and hopeless are horrid feelings, but they don't have to last forever. And you are most definitely NOT alone!

Google Street View has taken its off-road cameras inside the Lamborghini Museum located in Sant'Agata Bolognese in the north of Italy.
There's to be no stone unturned, apparently, by the team at Google Street View. The most recent awesome landmark to get a virtual tour courtesy of its off-road cameras is a sacred site for many car fanatics: the Lamborghini Museum at the company's headquarter town of Sant'Agata Bolognese.
The Street View page allows users to access a 360-degree tour of 1500 square metres of museum across two floors, including famous cars such as Miura, Countach, Diablo and Murciélago, as well as prototypes, limited editions, one-off models, racing cars, V12 powertrains and marine engines.
Also in the museum, you'll be able to see the Reventòn, which was limited to just 20 models, as well as two museum-exclusive cars: the Estoque and the Sesto Elemento.
Perhaps our favourite part of poking around was that you can even climb inside some of the cars to get up close and personal with the interior.
Recently, Google Street View has also opened virtual tours of the Galapagos Islands, Doctor Who's TARDIS and the 13th century Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland.
To whisk yourself away to Sant'Agata Bolognese, visit Museo Lamborghini on Google Street View.

Erlang Binary Map
(Updated to clean up some hypertext errors in the code examples.)
The Netflix Challenge dataset is very big, and there is not much RAM in my laptop at all.
To fit as much as possible of the rating data into memory, I converted the data into a bunch of Erlang binaries. Erlang binaries are 'just' contiguous blocks of bytes, so they do not incur the overhead of list cons cells or dictionary indexing. They are fast, but pretty simple, and using them to store data like C arrays means that you have to write your own code to manage access to them. (At least you will get a runtime error if you try to access past the end of a binary, which is a major step up from C.)
While wandering through the wasteland that is my code I happened to notice that one section did not smell quite right. This code was taking a chunk of that binary data, converting the chunk into a list of elements, and then mapping a function over this list of elements in order to return a list of function results. Creating that intermediate list seemed like a bit of unnecessary overhead - I would much rather iterate directly across the binary itself and save all of that extra list consing - but I could not find any binary:map
-like function anywhere.
So I wrote my own.
It's not very big.
The original code had used a list_from_bin
function to turn a binary into a list of elements:
% Convert a binary into a list of unsigned integer elements.
list_from_bin(Bin, BytesPerElem) ->
list_from_bin(Bin, BytesPerElem, BytesPerElem * 8, size(Bin), []).
list_from_bin(_Bin, _BytesPerElem, _BitsPerElem, 0, Results) -> Results;
list_from_bin(Bin, BytesPerElem, BitsPerElem, BytesOffset, Results) ->
BytesDiscard = BytesOffset - BytesPerElem,
<<_:BytesDiscard/binary,Element:BitsPerElem/unsigned-integer,_/binary>> = Bin,
list_from_bin(Bin, BytesPerElem, BitsPerElem, BytesDiscard, [Element|Results]).
was used in this manner (with a trivial "2 * Elem
" function):[2 * N || N <- list_from_bin(<<1,2,3,4>>, 1)].
-> [2,4,6,8]
[2 * N || N <- list_from_bin(<<1,2,3,4>>, 2)].
-> [516,1544]
Note that
iterates from the end of the binary backwards down to the beginning of the binary, so the list it builds is in the same order as the original binary and does not need reversing.(If all of my elements were one byte long then I could have just used the standard Erlang
function, but sometimes the elements I used were two or three bytes in length. I should have probably included an initial clause of "list_from_bin(Bin, 1) -> list_from_binary(Bin);
", but didn't think of it at the time.)The new
function maps a function over the elements in a binary, and returns a list of the function's results:map_bin(Fun, Bin, BytesPerElem) ->
map_bin(Fun, Bin, BytesPerElem, 0, size(Bin) div BytesPerElem, []).
map_bin(_Fun, _Bin, _BytesPerElem, _BytesDiscard, 0, Results) -> lists:reverse(Results);
map_bin(Fun, Bin, BytesPerElem, BytesDiscard, CountElemRemain, Results) ->
<<_:BytesDiscard/binary,Elem:BytesPerElem/binary,_/binary>> = Bin,
map_bin(Fun, Bin, BytesPerElem, BytesDiscard + BytesPerElem, CountElemRemain - 1, [Fun(Elem)|Results]).
The main function (
) takes these arguments:Fun
: A function that takes a single binary element as input. May return any value.Bin
: The original binary data block. Itssize
should be an exact multiple ofBytesPerElem
. If thesize
of the binary is not an exact multiple of theBytesPerElem
value then any excess bytes at the end of the binary are discarded.BytesPerElem
: The number of bytes taken up by each element in the binary.
The helper function (
) takes three additional arguments:BytesDiscard
: The number of bytes to skip at the beginning of the binary, for the current iteration.CountElemRemain
: The number of elements remaining to process.Results
: An accumulated, reversed list of the function's results.
argument was added to avoid having to recalculate the number of bytes to skip for every iteration (with, for example, something like "BytesDiscard = Offset * BytesPerElem
"). I am not sure if this was a good decision or if it reeks too much of premature optimisation. Old C habits die hard.CountElemRemain
starts at the number of elements to process and decrements each iteration so the terminating condition can be written simply as 0
, rather than having to have a "when Offset > CountElems
" guard on the function clause.And here is
in action:map_bin(fun(<< Elem:8>>) -> 2 * Elem end, <<1,2,3,4>>, 1).
-> [2,4,6,8]
map_bin(fun(<< Elem:16>>) -> 2 * Elem end, <<1,2,3,4>>, 2).
-> [516,1544]
Now with the new
function my code can skip the creation of an intermediate list, and, quite entirely by accident, is actually more flexible than before. The original code always produced lists of unsigned integers from the binaries; the new code can be used to operate on multiple elements. For example:map_bin(fun(<< Elem1:8,Elem2:16>>) -> Elem1 + Elem2 end, <<1,2,3,4,5,6>>, 3).
-> [516,1290]
It's just not quite as nice to look at as a good list comprehension.
function is all well and good, but the real question we all want answered is... does using this new code actually make our program run any faster?Well, according to my very informal use of
and timer:now_diff/2
, with large binaries and a trivial "x2" function for each element, map_bin
seems to be around 11% faster than using list_from_bin
. That's... not too bad. But we could go faster with multiple processes, I think.Parallelism
Really, what is the point of using Erlang if we don't
a few hundred processes for every trivial piece of code?Luckily for my fingers it is only a minor modification to make a parallel version of
:pmap_bin(Fun, Bin, BytesPerElem) ->
pmap_bin(Fun, Bin, BytesPerElem, 0, size(Bin) div BytesPerElem, []).
pmap_bin(_Fun, _Bin, _BytesPerElem, _BytesDiscard, 0, Pids) ->
[receive {done, Pid, Result} -> Result end || Pid <- lists:reverse(Pids)];
pmap_bin(Fun, Bin, BytesPerElem, BytesDiscard, CountElemRemain, Pids) ->
PidThis = self(),
<<_:BytesDiscard/binary,Elem:BytesPerElem/binary,_/binary>> = Bin,
pmap_bin(Fun, Bin, BytesPerElem, BytesDiscard + BytesPerElem, CountElemRemain - 1,
[spawn(fun() -> PidThis ! {done, self(), Fun(Elem)} end)|Pids]).
Sadly, I cannot comment much on the speed difference of this conversion because I do not (yet) have access to a multi-core machine. A routine like this is probably best avoided for a single-CPU system as the overhead of spawning many processes would be wasted, but it should perform better on multiple-CPU systems. (Feel free to try it out and let me know how it goes!)
There is still room for improvement in this function, if we wanted to take it further. We may not want to spawn a separate process for each element, for instance, but rather split the original binary into N chunks and spawn a process to apply a function to each chunk. Also, we might want to expand on the parallelism and include other nodes into the mix, to spread the calculations across multiple machines.
Something for another day.
And now someone is going to tell me that binary comprehensions have been available in the standard Erlang distribution for a while, and I just haven't been paying enough attention to the Erlang mailing-list announcements.

Diane composes and performs songs of awakening, transformation and healing – many of which are co-written with her husband, Robert Augustus Masters – at all of their workshops and trainings and during their public talks.
Diane has produced two CDs, available to purchase in the store.
"When Diane Bardwell sings, her voice wends its way into your heart. Like a healing elixir, it instills courage; it helps you to gather your forces and move again and again toward the expression of your best self. It repairs wounds that need mending. It allows you to breathe easy and free. Like some ancient, primordial embrace, the quality and depth of sound that comes from deep within her, helps you to feel like everything whatever it is will be all right. It is wonderful too, to watch her perform, to see the joy she feels in doing what she knows she was put on earth to do."

Economists are predicting that there will be a hiring boom in early 2013. It's about time the economy started to bounce back! This is especially good news for young professionals, who suffer from the highest rate of unemployment at 13.5 percent, compared to the overall rate of 7.9 percent. As we begin 2013, here are some career resolutions that will help you land the internship, job or promotion you want.
Develop and manage your online presence: Gone are the days when the PDF rèsumè on your desktop mattered. You need to be on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter or you will suffer as a result. Recruiters are already searching for you or people with your skills. On LinkedIn, for example, get endorsements for your skills so your profile will appear higher when people are searching. Also, ask for recommendations from people you've worked with in the past to build credibility and relationships with hiring managers.
Focus on your soft skills: Employers are always looking for soft skills -- such as communication skills and strong emotional intelligence -- when hiring and promoting. By going to events, meetups and just putting yourself in situations where you're around people in your industry, you can develop these skills and further your career.
Work on a passion project: It's important to do work that is meaningful to you, even if it's not part of your full-time gig. By making this time investment, you could potentially do your hobby as your full-time job in the future, so it's well worth the energy. If nothing else, it will help keep you motivated and learning new things.
Create time for things that are important: If you're a workaholic, then you might find it challenging to make time for other things in your life, but it's important.
Think about other things that matter to you and carve out time for them. It could be your family, friends, meeting new people, a sport or something else.

In Reply to: Re: anybody try the (VH) V Caps? posted by Rob Thomas on July 12, 2004 at 23:12:02:
Hi, Rob. Thought I should comment on the V-cap pricing, since it has become an issue in this thread. Yes, they are expensive. I make no apologies for that. It is likely that it will take me at least 2 years of sales to recoup the R&D and other up-front costs I invested into this project. These were hard costs were paid, not my own or beta-testers' time.That said, there is a reason why there aren't alot of Teflon film caps on the market. They are extremely hard to do right. This cap was designed without a specific price point in mind. The price fell where it fell.
I would also like to note that although the regular pricing is more than the Rel TFT's, my intro pricing is about the same as Rel "street prices", and less when ordered in moderate quantities. Rel is a fine company, and I look forward to user comparisons between the V-Cap's and the RelCaps.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to e-mail me.

Huge swings in the Japanese yen, euro, and U.S. dollar came in the wake of some wild news out of Japan and Italy.
First the scoreboard:
Dow: 13,784, -216.4 pts, -1.5 percent
S&P 500: 1,487, -27.7 pts, -1.8 percent
NASDAQ: 3,116. -45.5 pts, -1.4 percent
And now the top stories:
- Over the weekend, reports surfaced that Japan would be sending Haruhiko Kuroda to head the Bank of Japan. Kuroda, the head of the Asian Development Bank, has a reputation for being uber-dovish, which is exactly the characteristic Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been looking for. When Asian markets opened, the Japanese yen tanked and the Nikkei surged.
- Without question, the big story of the day has been the Italian general election. The initial exit polls showed that Pier Luigi Bersani won big, which is what the market wanted. With Bersani came the expectation that Italy's ongoing reforms to manage its massive debt load would continue. European markets closed up at 11:30 AM ET.
- However, as more votes were counted, it became apparent that the race was actually much closer than expected with Silvio Berlusconi getting much more traction than anyone expected. At this point, it's looking like gridlock with no clear winner. As these headlines rolled out, the euro tanked.
- Meanwhile, the Japanese yen recovered all losses and surged against both the euro and the U.S. dollar. U.S. stocks closed at their lows of the day.

Singlepayerlegal.org: Humor or Insanity?
Overlawyered linked today to a site called singlepayerlegal.org. And it's amusing. So I sure hope that Overlawyered's determination that it must be nothing more than parody/satire is correct.
The premise is the flip side of the argument for a single-payer health care system. The article (PDF) linked to on the front page of the site, written by a Matthew S. Rice, M.D., and apparently published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, makes clear that the concept is: A little bit of "turnabout is fair play":
With attorney-legislators scrutinizing and planning the reform of medicine and the health insurance industry, it is only fitting that physicians apply the most current progressive healthcare reform principles to the legal profession.
The folks at singlepayerlegal do seem to have spent a fair amount of time and energy on this site though. They've set up a petition to Congress, calling for, among other things, the proposed legal system to be one "in which all attorneys are salaried, and are required to provide legal services to all-comers, regardless of income or disparity-group status, at fair and stable reimbursement rates determined by a Department of Legal Services (DLS)." I am willing to bet that the $1,000/hour rate would appear nowhere on such a reimbursement schedule. Though I like the sound of "catastrophic felony protection."
Reading through the site is entertaining, perhaps with the exception of the descriptions of the "victims" of the current legal system (wrongly convicted criminal defendants; there is even a link to the Innocence Project site). The overwhelming theme: Keep the lawyers and politicians out of our healthcare system. Not bloody likely.
But, if you really dig what you read, you can show your support for the organization by buying a bumper sticker.

"When there's a state championship in town, it's pretty extensive the money that's spent. So it could be good for the whole community."
"I have to thank Randy Decker for providing me with the great equipment that allows me to be here."
"That is our focus, to try to get the meet going in that direction, bring back the high school luster and then go bigger."
"That's like the $64,000 question. Only time will tell how good she's really going to be. Everyone is asking that question, and Jordan's the only one who's going to answer that question in time."
"It all depends on the weather. That's going to be the biggest factor. We've had quite a few phone calls about bringing [the relays] back. A lot of people remember the big-time athletes."
"Quite a few people were asking questions about her after the meet. They thought she was older than that."

Adam Ant at Bristol O2 Academy
A year on from the last Ants Invasion of Bristol, Sir Adam Of Ant returned with another storming set of Pop hits and Punk perversion. And this time I even dragged Sarah and her mate Jacqui along. Well... I say "dragged" when in fact they had both been obsessing over Adam for weeks before the gig and were ready for some Friday night Antics...
Due to Bristol Academy's ridiculously early doors on a Friday night we missed the support ( probably no great loss ) while having a drink over the road in the slightly more sophisticated Colston Hall.We made our way across to the venue and, after about 20 minutes of listening to some groovy old rock 'n' roll on the pre-gig soundsystem, Adam and his band appeared to rapturous applause.
Still rocking the Hussar / Napoleon / NHS glasses look ( well, it's certainly unique ) Adam launched into a set which veered wildly across his career from the S&M days of Whip In My Valise and Beat My Guest, through the Burundi beat of Kings Of The Wild Frontier and Dog Eat Dog ( "Brush me, Daddio!" ) to the MTV-friendly likes of Strip and Goody Two-Shoes. Just as he had done a year previously Adam concentrated as much on old school Ants material like Fall In ( a great singalong ) and a cracking version of Zerox as he did on Top 10 stuff like Stand And Deliver. It was a good half dozen songs into the set before he spoke to the audience, telling us that Kings... still feels new every time he plays it ( and it still sounds awesome... but it needs some Marco... ) and regaling us with the surely apocryphal tale of how he was inspired to write Lady. ( It involves going through Malcolm McLaren's pockets to nick loose change and meeting a 7' 9" naked dominatrix... all good stuff! )
Highlights of the set for me were an atmospheric Ants Invasion, a sensual ( of course ) Physical, an audience-pleasing Ant Music and a Rockabilly reading of Goody Two Shoes - never my favourite of his songs, but pretty damn special tonight. Even Vive Le Rock sounded good...
I'm glad to report that Mr. Ant's recent flurry of touring hasn't affected his performance ( steady! ) and Adam is in fine, enthusiastic, cheeky form, with his stage moves still sending people weak at the knees... including my companions :-)
And, it has to be said, his voice is in bloody good shape for a man of his age, still managing to hit some impressively high notes, although occasionally reigning it in somewhat when necessary. I do however miss the bonkers Native American yelping of the old Ants' backing vocals on the Kings... songs. Adam of course still does all that but his band don't really rise to the occasion. Come on, guys! After all, ridicule is nothing to be scared of...
New song Cool Zombie was unveiled and sounded pretty good. It should be interesting to see how well his new album does when released. Adam's unlikely comeback has been pretty amazing so far
( I never thought I'd be seeing him play these wonderful songs 30 years after his first brush with fame ) and it would be fantastic to see him actually sell some records too. Again, it's unlikely... but the unlikely is something Adam has always specialised in.
After a final, mass outbreak of "doing the Prince Charming" in the encore ( I can't believe I did that! ) Adam and band took their bows and left. And so did we... to have a few drinks and mess about in Bristol...
Oh dear! Time to go home...

It sounds like an amazing evening. It would be nice if he sold a lot of albums. Then he might go on tour in my neck of the woods.

It was indeed an amazing evening and, yes, I'm a jammy bastard ;-)
Like I said to you before, Mike, if he tours near you you'll have to check him out. And, to be honest, a musician at Adam's level makes more money from touring nowadays than from making records. That's why ticket prices are so bloody high... - 20 November 2012 at 19:56

Well, that is a rather peculiar (alhough charming) look. Long live Napoleon, eh?

Adam took the glasses off at one point, which was an improvement... but they soon went back on again :-)

Introduction of Members and Guests:
Those in attendance introduced themselves.
Discussion Items:
North I-25 EIS: Doug Ryan provided an update on the status of the project for selecting the preferred alternative for the draft environmental impact statement related to transportation improvements along the I-25 corridor through the year 2035. Since the close of the comment period for the draft EIS in December, 2008, the Colorado Department of Transportation has held a series of meetings with local governments (both technical staff and elected officials) on the process of choosing the preferred alternative for presentation in the final EIS. Mr. Ryan outlined the results of those discussions to date, and described the current thinking on I-25 lane configuration and intersection improvements, I-25 express bus service, commuter rail service between Fort Collins and Longmont, Highway 85 commuter bus service, and congestion management measures. It is anticipated that the final local government meeting will occur on April 23 and focus on identification of priorities for the various improvements. Then the project sponsors will work on preparing the final EIS and Record of Decision. Future updates with the EAB will be scheduled when information about the final EIS is available.
NISP EIS: The advisory board discussed the status of the Army Corps of Engineers environmental impact statement for the Northern Integrated Supply Project. The Corps has announced that it intends to prepare a supplemental draft EIS that will concentrate on data needs that were identified related to hydrology modeling, water quality, vegetation and aquatic resources. As the Corps prepares the supplemental draft, it will require that studies for NISP and the anticipated Halligan-Seaman Reservoirs Expansion EIS use common baseline models and data collection and analyses to ensure that study results are consistent among the projects. The anticipated schedule is to have a daft supplemental EIS available for public comment around June 2010. Future updates with the EAB will be scheduled when information about the supplemental draft EIS is available.
Approval of February Minutes:
The minutes from the February 10th meeting were approved as submitted.
Michael Jones provided a brief background summary, and noted that the Countys Horse Facilities Study had progressed over the last two months. The County Commissioners appointed a Working Group consisting of stakeholders representing business and community interests. Their first meeting in March focused on reviewing various county land use standards for equine businesses. Future meetings will be used to analyze compatibility issues and come up with recommendations for possible revised land use standards.

HI group We are in the midst of finalising on a (refurbished) bi-monthly in-house magazine. From HR point of view - other than the info on :-i) introduction of new recruits and best wishes to those who have left, ii) Training programmes conducted and those which would be conducted in the next couple of months What other info could be incorporated? Any suggestions? We plan to close on this, by the week end - hence request an early revert!!
Hi Ankur,
You could include poems or short stories wrriten by kids of employees, new ventures of the company, achievements of the month. You could also add puzzles,quiz,one write up from senior manager (you could keep it on rotational basis) recent ocassions in the company and not to forget general articles which would convey some message to all ( it could be a social message too!)
And if you wish to keep it only H.R related magazine then articles on team,leadership could be taken into account.
That's all from my side. Hope it does prove to be of some help to you.
Best Wishes

Having dim sum (點心) is also known as going to yum-cha or 飲茶 (which translates to tea-drinking from Cantonese) especially amongst the contemporary Cantonese people. I have always been a fan of dim sum - there is just something so incredibly appealing about foods served in those petite helpings usually from a cart piled high with mounds of bamboo steamers. It was always fun to see what tasty morsels were creating delicious wafts of steam from under each 'tower' of bamboo steamers. Sometimes, I think I enjoy the process of ordering from the little carts more than the actual eating itself!
Of course, there are many variations in how a Chinese restaurant may serve dim sum now, there are some where you just order at your table, and they bring the dishes straight to your table once it's done. I think this actually lessens the 'fun' for me maybe because I have been used to carts ever since I was little and it just means less to me when the dim sum is 'cooked' (probably just heated up) in the kitchen and then brought to the table.
Today I feature a well known item on most restaurant's dim sum list, steamed chive dumpling with pork and shrimp. This tasty dumpling recipe should definitely take a place in your cooking repertoire - of course, it is quite easy to simply order this at a restaurant, but isn't it fun and satisfying to be able to make some things on your own when you feel so inclined? Especially when it looks and tastes as good as these little dumplings!
6 stalks of Chinese chives, chopped finely
8 Tiger Prawns (use more if using smaller shrimp), shelled and deveined
1/4 pound ground pork (just try to make sure that the ratio of prawns to pork is 1.5:1)
1 tsp chopped fresh ginger
16 wonton wrappers
1 tsp rice wine
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
Dash of pepper
2 tsp sugar
2 tbsps corn starch
In the mood for more dim sum recipes?
Click here for my Steamed Seaweed Rolls Recipe
First, use the back of a cleaver to break down the prawns. Next, simply chop them up - I don't like to use the food processor for this as I like a bit of 'bite' to my dumplings. Now, simply mix the ground pork, chopped up prawns and chives together in a bowl. I actually chopped these up together to make sure they were well mixed. Next, add the marinade ingredients listed above into the prawn mixture. When you use the wonton wrappers, be sure to refrigerate the extras to avoid them drying out. Place a damp kitchen towel on the rest of the wrappers while you are working on each dumpling.
Prepare a bowl of water which will be used as 'glue' for sealing the dumplings. First, spoon about 1 tsp of filling into the middle of the wrapper. Brush the sides of the wrapper with water (I just used my fingers to dab) and then gently lift up three sides of the wrapper and press firmly with your finger tips to seal together to form a triangular shape. Set aside, and repeat with the remaining of your wrappers. Be sure to place a wet kitchen towel on the wrapped dumplings to avoid drying out as well.
If you're using a bamboo steamer like me, cut out some parchment paper to put on the base of the steamer. Place the wrapped dumplings in the steamer and steam on a wok for about 10-12 minutes. Once the dumplings are cooked, they should look translucent. Serve with some soy sauce if desired.
Tip: Do not let the bamboo steamer touch the water as we are not going for boiled dumplings!

Do you have any recipes for the steamed buns? I would love to make a variety of dim sum for a party this winter, but don't have many recipes, and none for the buns, which I love.
Thanks for sharing. - Wednesday, September 17, 2008
- Tastes of Home said...
Hi Fibrolady, thanks for stopping by! yes, in fact I'm going to post steamed buns soon, if you want a 'short cut' you can purchase the pau flour (usually packaged in Vietnam) in any Asian store for the pau/ bun dough and just choose a filling that you like. I will be posting my recipe soon and you must have read my mind, will be posting another dumpling recipe soon! :)

I remember growing up having to wear something like orthodics. Except back in the day theyw ere this nasty brown shoe I think.
Also when going to sleep i head to wear these shoes that where attached to a bar. This was supposed to cure a hip problem i was having apparently.
So looks like Joe and I growing up where so different. I'll have to ask my mom sometime about my growing up. Because i remember having to go to some sort of physical therapy gymnastic thing. - 1:06 PM

I remember when my now 8 year old got his first pair. Luckily, he was so easy going about the whole thing and they really did help him. He's now on his 4th pair and not always as easy going about having to have them on. It's always exciting to see the new "upgrades" he gets as he gets a new pair and they let him do a bit more on his own. Congrats to your little guy on his first pair! Just wait til he can choose the design!

Model Number: gwh9150pw0 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 1 - 5 years
For about the last year in the middle of a cycle the machine starts beeping and flashing code F11. At First I could get it to start again by pressing pause and then start again but for the past two weeks it wont start at all. Any suggestions without having to replace the mcu and interface.

F11 Serial communication error Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly.
Potential Causes • Check Wire Harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU) • Check the Drive system for any worn or failed components • Check MCU • Check CCU • Check Motor • Check Wire Harness Replace failed component. This is what the code list gives. Open the top of the machine and see if you can find the wiring diagram/troubleshooting guide. Run the tests and look for any loose or bad connections. When you determine what part it is just let us know and we will get you the price and availability.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to relive it! |
Free repair
I removed the CCU and tapped all the relays. And cleaned the solder points on the back of the board with new solder. Took connectors "small" and bent the pins in very very slightly with a pick. Put it back together worked fine. Until six months later the motor went out and sent a charge up the MCU blowing up the capacitors. And burning a resistor in the CCU. Biggest most expensive hunk of junk I own.

Tropical Treasures Pocket Edition
- Publisher: Adrian Cummings
- Genre: Entertainment
- Released: 21 Jul, 2010
- Size: 12.9 MB
- Price: $0.99

Featured by Apple and previous player comments..."Very fun game to play when on the go!" ✭✭✭✭✭ MelindaMe (US).
"Nice game! Recommend it!" ✭✭✭✭✭ neos66 (US).
"Nice and Colorful!!! I like the graphics so much! :)" ✭✭✭✭✭ fiero19 (US).
Tropical Treasures Pocket Edition... the tropical themed gem matching game.
Launch gems by touching the gem launcher anywhere on the red line.
Match 3 or more of the same colour horizontally or vertically to clear gems to gain points and bonuses etc.
If any gems reach the base of the waterfall the game is over! You must continue to match gems to also prevent the play timer running out of time.
Hitting a snake gem will cause all adjacent gems both horizontally and vertically to explode, whether they match or not.
If you aim to hit a resting butterfly 'directly' with a same colour gem, all other gems on screen of the same colour will explode. Beware that clearing gems near to a butterfly or by hitting a nearby snake gem can sometimes scare it away!
As you progress you may be visited by a friendly Chameleon from time to time, which will eat a random row of gems to help you reach an even higher score.
Pressing pause freezes the action, pressing again resumes it.
You will gain unlockable awards and a better hi-score as you climb the levels of Tropical Treasures... Good luck!

Booby prize
A booby prize is a joke prize usually given in recognition of a terrible performance or last-place finish. A person who finishes last, for example, may receive a booby prize such as a worthless coin. Booby prizes are sometimes jokingly coveted as an object of pride.
Booby prizes may also be given as consolation prizes to all non-placing participants of a competition.
The word "boob" stems from the Spanish bobo meaning stupid, which in turn came from the Latin balbus meaning stammering; the word booby to mean dunce appeared in 1599.
Booby prize literally means "idiot's prize". The OED dates this usage to 1893. Booby trap and "booby hatch" are related terms.[1]
- An award is given annually for Mr. Irrelevant, the professional American football player each year who is selected last in the NFL draft. The award includes a trophy mimicking the Heisman Trophy depicting the player from the Heisman fumbling.
- A Red Lantern is given to the cyclist who finishes last in the Tour de France, and the last musher in the Iditarod.
- A wooden spoon is a common booby prize which is awarded in such sports as Rugby Union, Rowing, and in particular to the team finishing on the bottom of the ladder at the end of the Australian Football League (AFL) season.
- The last boat to come into harbor in the Port Huron to Mackinac Race is called the pickle boat.
- The anthropomorphic Dusty Bin was given as a booby prize in the TV game show 3-2-1.
- A number of game shows have used their own terminology to describe booby prizes, won by contestants who had made either a poor decision or an unlucky choice. On Let's Make a Deal, booby prizes are called "zonks," while the Chuck Barris-produced The New Treasure Hunt called these items "klunks."
- Two games on The Price Is Right offer a booby prize-of-sorts for a losing contestant:
- A cash prize of less than $10 for revealing the three numbers in the piggy bank prize's blanks in Any Number (before completing the price of either one of the two more desirable prizes).
- A cash prize of $1, $10, or $100 for picking the grocery item higher than the target price in Grand Game on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd pick, respectively (before finding all 4 items to win the grand prize of $10,000; finding the 4th item meant risking $1,000).
- Traditionally, the cadet graduating from West Point with the lowest academic record was known as the "goat" and was given a silver dollar by each of his classmates.[2]
- On the BBC Quiz show Blankety Blank losing contestants were famously presented with a Blankety Blank Cheque Book and Pen.
- On the New Zealand game show It's in the Bag, three of the game bags have booby prizes in them, ranging from rubber ducks to boxes of washing powder.
- An older example of a booby prize was the Wooden Spoon (award), which was given to the lowest performing Cambridge Mathematics student who still gained honours (a third) until 1909. The last holder was Cuthbert Lempriere Holthouse.
- In the Russian version of Wheel of Fortune (Pole Chudes), in the "Prize" space, a player who lands on this space can either take 2000 points, or take a secret prize as a buy-out to leave the game. In the black box may be a car, prize or some booby prize (sometimes it can be a vegetable).

Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting is the second book in The Body Finder series. Now, I read and reviewed The Body Finder earlier in the year and while I enjoyed it, the book wasn't quite what I had expected.
Desires of the Dead on the other hand, is brilliant. Derting told the story that I had been hoping for from the beginning.
I'll be posting my full review closer to the release date, but here's a little snippet for now:
Packed with mystery, a good deal of humor (thank you Chelsea), and a creepiness I've come to expect from a novel about a girl who finds dead bodies, Desires of the Dead is even better than the first. Derting's writing is vivid and illustrious – I could see, hear, and feel everything that surrounded Violet. I became entangled in her world and the echoes that assault her senses.

The Koosh was invented by Scott Stillinger, to help teach young kids how to catch. Adults can get plenty of enjoyment from the Koosh as well - it's an excellent worry-stone sort of toy. Cats are often fascinated with the texture and smell of the rubber.
Stillinger and his brother-in-law, Mark Button, started selling Kooshes under their company OddzOn Products in 1987, and cashed out in 1996. OddzOn is now owned by Hasbro.
