Synopsis: Andrew Klavan reinvents the classic ghost story with this literary X-Files, a breathtaking blend of Hollywood-style excitement and literary tour de force.
Richard Storm is a Hollywood producer who has reached the top of his profession making horror movies based on classic English ghost stories. Now, with his life beginning to unravel, he flees to England on a desperate quest: to find evidence that the great old stories bear an element of truth, that the human spirit lives on after death, that in this all-too-material world there still may be reason to have faith.
But his search uncovers more than he bargained for: Sophia Endering, a mysterious damsel in distress who may just be the last love of Storm's life; Harper Albright, an eccentric pipe-smoking old woman whose researches into the paranormal mask an obsessive hunt for a malevolent killer; and the man known as Saint Iago, a seemingly immortal villain who makes a night with a vampire look like a walk in the park.
Richard Storm's nightmares are about to step down off the screen into real life. And Storm is about to begin a journey through his deepest passions and his darkest fears, to a romance that could last forever, and a secret a thousand years old-down a trail formed by the classic ghost stories themselves-into the very heart of the uncanny.
Review: "Trolls, he thought. That's what it was. Religious people believed God ran the world. Atheists figured it was indifferent nature. But it was trolls. Sadistic little homunculi in leather jackets with lots of zippers. Hiding behind the scrim of being. Working the machinery to maximize human suffering for their own amusement."
A wealthy Hollywood cowboy-cum-movie-producer travels to England in the hope of seeing a ghost, or a voice from beyond: "Something uncanny, you know. Anything. One lousy uncanny thing." He hangs out with a marvelous old woman--a professional skeptic armed with a sword cane and an ever-puffing pipe with a skull-shaped bowl--and the other staff of a semi-tabloid rag called Bizarre! He meets the woman of his dreams, who is billed as being utterly inaccessible and frigid to boot. Then before you can say "conspiracy theory," Andrew Klavan has whipped all of them into a humorous confection with elements of German romantic art, English Gothic architecture, 19th-century ghost stories, Norse mythology, South American cult leaders, Nazi witchcraft, and the Holy Grail. Even the ghost of M.R. James has a key role in the plot.
It's not a deep novel--you get the sense that Klavan doesn't take one iota of it seriously--but it's good supernatural fun. --Fiona Webster

Boy's Room Inspiration | graphic + black and white
If you read my last post, you know I'm expecting my first child - a boy - and that I've been looking for inspiration for his future nursery/room.
One of the styles I'm more fond of is the
graphic + black and white room
I found this example from
(you can see more of their portfolio on Pinterest
) and I'll tell you what I like more and less about it.
project by
all images via:
Project Nursery
I like the black and white. There!... I can't help it. I'm not a big fan of a lot of colour. I absolutely hate those rooms that are all pink or all blue and everything matches. They give me nightmares and I simply can't have it. I love neutral colours as a canvas, and then yes, then I can introduce some colourful details: with the books, the toys, some clothes...
I don't really like the starts on the wall... to me it's too much. A white wall there, maybe with a frame or a poster, would have been much more to my style.
I'm also not crazy about some of the pop design elements that we've been seeing spread and repeated till exhaustion in many interior design blogs: like the batman poster or the big Lego head. But once again this is due to my personal taste. I much rather prefer the vintage vibe from the leather trunk dresser.
Now the best part for me, and something that tends to be a theme in black and white children's rooms, is the chalkboard wallpaper. There's just so many things we can do with it, so many inventive and fun ways to use it that I'm 100% sure that that will be part of my little Matheus' room.

It's a Boy! | Looking for Inspiration
Three weeks ago we found out the gender of the baby we are expecting. And just in case the tittle of this post didn't give it away...It's a boy!
I can honestly say I had no preference. I wasn't rooting for one or the other and was sure to be very happy either way. And all that was true but I hadn't realised one thing - the last two babies in my family were girls, I'm a girl, I know what girls like, what they dress what they play with and... somehow when I imagined the baby's room I always pictured a girls room!
So my first thought, as I was lying on the ultrasound table, was that my nephew will be hysterical that I'm having a boy (he really, REALLY, wanted it to be a boy). My second thought was...oh oh, a boy's room...need to figure out a boy's room!
So for the last three weeks I've been immersing myself in baby boy's stuff. I've got some really adorable clothes (one word - overalls!), and have been looking at tons of images on Pinterest (I have a
[ Kids ]
board with images both for boys and girls) searching for inspiration for his bedroom.
I narrowed it all down to three styles that I really like: 1. black and white graphic, 2. soft tones nature inspired, and 3. vintage/retro details; all with a Scandinavian feeling. Knowing myself I'll probably end up trying to manage a mix of these three. But I'm planning a series of posts with different examples to explore each type a bit more deeply, and maybe inspire some of my readers.

The Big Reveal: The Boys Bedroom
After an enormous amount of deliberation, research and mind-changing, the boys bedroom - I'm pleased to say - is done! Done, done, done. Have a look - tell me what you think...
Originally, we were going to go with bunks that could be split in two, but after one or two horror stories about face plants and broken noses (thanks Nat), we decided to go with twin singles (at least for now). I found these in a massive floor stock clearance at Sleep City and painted them in Ship Chandler by The Society Inc which is a lovely charcoal grey blackboard paint that gives a gorgeous velvet-like ultra-matt finish which I'm completely in love with. We haven't mentioned to the boys that their beds are blackboards - I think I might lose it if they start drawing on them... The red wall hooks need to be repainted to go with the grey theme but we're nearly there and I was itching to show you how it all looks.
I moved the Noosh Gigi Alphabet from it's old home (below) to a random scatter design above the picture rail as inspired by the way Lilly & Lolly have it displayed in their new store which you can see here. I think it looks a bit more sophisticated like this and works well with the "big boy beds".
I've strung star shaped LED fairly lights around their bedheads (below) which are their new night lights and I switch them off before I go to bed. The lighthouse is a lamp I picked up at Rozelle secondhand market for $20. The boys love it. And the bedding, my husband chose. He found it in a sale and came home with it knowing I was going with grey as the colour scheme. Completely out of character but really nice - he must have been excited about the room makeover which came as a complete surprise to me...
So, what do you think?

Peeing. The constant peeing would have been enough on its own to make me dislike pregnancy. Do the pregnancy-lovers not have this problem? Or do they just not mind waddling to the bathroom every five minutes?
Whether you're actually trying to get pregnant or are really hoping you're not, each month can present a whole lot of guessing, speculation, and watching out for the classic early pregnancy symptoms. The problem is, those symptoms are anything but concrete.
Usually if you feel bad, that means something is wrong. But with pregnancy, if you feel bad, it most likely means everything is just fine and dandy, puking lady!
My pregnant friends welcomed me to the club, a club that pops little purple pills, sleeps sitting up and whose members eschew nachos in favor of oatmeal. I do not want to be in this club.
Thanks to sitcoms, romantic comedies and our mother's cuss-filled horror stories, we all know pregnancy is no walk in the park. In fact, pregnancy can...

summary | XML is the proposed electronic publishing and data interchange format of the future. Currently XML is immature with little tool support, particularly for end-user World Wide Web browser display. At present many journal publishers typeset their articles, or at least their article metadata, in SGML which is converted to HTML for end-user display. The SGML article metadata is used for electronic data interchange for supply to external aggregating and abstracting agencies. This paper discusses the change to the electronic journal publishing production process implied by an adoption of the World Wide Web standard format of XML, the problems associated with using and displaying XML now, and the future benefits of adopting a standard interchange format. Real work experience gained by working with journal publishers in actual electronic publishing scenarios is used as illustration. Keywords.

Toy Safety Is Key in Keeping Children's Eyes Safe This Holiday Season
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 4, 2012) - With the holiday season upon us, children are busy making their wish lists and checking them twice. But, parents may need to check them yet again to ensure toy safety. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 250,000 toy-related injuries are treated in emergency rooms each year. Most of these injuries affect children under age 15, and almost half affect the head or face.1 In light of these dangers, the American Academy of Ophthalmology encourages parents to be EyeSmart about toys this holiday season.
Some toys, like airsoft guns, BB guns and paintball guns can be particularly hazardous, with the potential to propel foreign objects into the sensitive tissues of the eye. Common eye injuries from these toys include corneal abrasion, ocular hyphema, traumatic cataract, and increased intraocular pressure. These and other injuries sometimes require children to undergo eye surgery. In most cases, the victims of these toy-related injuries were not wearing protective eyewear.
The good news is that most eye injuries can easily be prevented. To keep children's eyes safe from injuries, the American Academy of Ophthalmology offers five EyeSmart toy-buying tips:
1. Avoid purchasing toys with sharp, protruding or projectile parts.
2. Make sure children have appropriate supervision when playing with potentially hazardous toys or games that could cause an eye injury.
3. Along with sports equipment, give children the appropriate protective eyewear with polycarbonate lenses. Check with your Eye M.D. to learn about protective gear recommended for your child's sport.
4. Check labels for age recommendations and be sure to select gifts that are appropriate for a child's age and maturity.
5. Keep toys that are made for older children away from younger children.
"Many toys have the potential to cause eye injuries," said David G. Hunter, M.D., Ph.D., a pediatric ophthalmologist and spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. "Being aware and thoughtful about what you are putting in your children's hands is the best preventative medicine. A good rule of thumb for parents is to choose toys that are appropriate for their child's age and abilities, as well as the parents' willingness to supervise use of the toy."
If your child experiences an eye injury from a toy, seek immediate medical attention from an ophthalmologist -- an eye physician and surgeon. For more information about keeping eyes healthy during the holidays and all year round, visit www.geteyesmart.org.
About the American Academy of Ophthalmology The American Academy of Ophthalmology is the world's largest association of eye physicians and surgeons -- Eye M.D.s -- with more than 32,000 members worldwide. Eye health care is provided by the three "O's" -- ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians. It is the ophthalmologist, or Eye M.D., who can treat it all: eye diseases, infections and injuries, and perform eye surgery. For more information, visit www.aao.org
About EyeSmart To protect the gift of sight, people need the highest quality eye care, the most clinically accurate information available, and the ability to make healthy lifestyle choices. That's why EyeSmart®, a public service of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, provides comprehensive, medically accurate information to empower the public in achieving a lifetime of healthy vision.

A study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined that the United States funded the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations' authority on alleged man-made global warming, with $31.1 million since 2001, nearly half of the panel's annual budget.
The GAO also found that this funding information "was not available in budget documents or on the websites of the relevant federal agencies, and the agencies are generally not required to report this information to Congress."
In a Nov. 17, 2011 report, "International Climate Change Assessments: Federal Agencies Should Improve Reporting and Oversight of U.S. Funding,"the GAO found that the State Department provided $19 million for administrative and other expenses, while the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) provided $12.1 million in technical support through the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), averaging an annual $3.1 million to the IPCC over 10 years — $31.1 million so far.
The IPCC runs an annual budget of $7 million, according to the Wall Street Journal, making the United States a major benefactor for its global warming agenda…

Hi LCB, I hope I answer u correctly...I would look in your /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf file and note the port you communicate on, as an alternate you can grab the port with "lsof -i -nP" or "netstat -taupe". Then you can use tcpdump to watch the connections.
#tcpdump -i eth0 port 1001 --> or what ever port you have setup to the remote data on and the correct nic.
Sounds like this could help u out. Norman Mark St. Laurent Conceras | Chief Technology Officer and ISSE Phone: 703-965-4892 Email: mstlaurent conceras com Web: http://www.conceras.com Connect. Collaborate. Conceras. LC Bruzenak wrote:

Joel Rothman, Intellectual property Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer.
Russell Jacobs, Real estate Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Brad Gross is a lawyer's lawyer. His expertise in managed service agreements places him first among Miami and Broward lawyers and among an extremely small handful of lawyers around the country who specialize in emerging technology issues. His skill is beyond comparison and I would recommend him without a second's hesitation.
Judson Cohen, Personal injury Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
If you know Brad and you know what he does for a living, you would say it figures. Brad Gross is a transactional lawyer concentrating his practice in technology transactions. Yes, Brad is an exceptionally talented transactional lawyer, but there are many of those. What sets Brad apart is the fact he is a technology junky. He doesn't learn this stuff because it is his job, he is honestly loves that stuff. He needs to know about the latest technology. Not just how that technology works, but the relationships between the people who provide it and the process that takes it from design to consumer. I have had the pleasure of working together with Brad and I can tell you from first hand knowledge he is conscientious and effective. I am happy to endorse Brad Gross.
Help your colleagues,
build your professional network,
and increase your exposure.
Note: If you are a current or former client of this lawyer, tell others what it's like to work with him or her (anonymously, if you want). Your post will make a difference. Review this lawyer.

4. It's not like you have a problem with words like "wet" or "damp."
6. It might have something to do with the "oi" sound. Like in "ointment" or "goiter."
7. But it probably has more to do with the fact that that word makes you think more of bodily fluids than cake.
8. You don't want to think about bodily fluids while enjoying cake, whether it's a sweaty palm…
10. It's an innocent enough word, but you just feel dirty using it. You feel like you need to wash up after hearing it.
11. Also, it comes from the Latin "muscidus" which meant "slimy," "moldy," "musty" and gave us the word "mucus."
12. And you're not alone. A lot of people don't like the "m" word either.
13. So please, just stop using the "m" word.

Thomson Reuters, a famed brokerage firm, has a 52-week price target of $55.94 on Owens Corning Inc (NYSE:OC) shares. After analyzing various factors, EPS is predicted to come at $3.45 for the next fiscal and $N/A for underway quarterly period.
For good or for bad, the investment community depends on earnings as its chief metric. Stocks are assessed not only by their capability to increase financial earnings QoQ, but also by if they can beat or meet a consensus earnings projections. Like it or not, shareholders need to keep a close watch on consensus estimates in order to keep checks on how a stock is expected to perform.
When companies release their quarterly report, investors are looking not just for improvements over past performance, but also for how the reported results compare to analysts' projections. If the firm surprises the street with better-than-expected numbers, the stock usually gains. On the contrary, disappointing report can cause the share price to tumble. Investors, with a little understanding of earnings surprises, can deal with share price fluctuation during quarterly earnings seasons.

No men like to have a bald head. The fact is that bald head has made many men suffer from mental stress. Though baldness does not a threat to life, men are very worried because it affects their look. In this highly competitive world, looks and attitude make a lot of difference during job interviews, workplace, etc. People with better looks enjoy more opportunities. These days, there many hair growth supplement products in the market to provide a solution to your hair loss problem. To find the best hair growth supplements 2016, you need to refer the Internet and various supplement reviews. Read this, http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/supplement/vitamin-h-biotin to know all about hair supplements.
Deficiency of nutrition is considered as one of the major cause of the baldness in men. When the hair did not get enough nourishment, then it fails to grow properly. To nourish your hair, you should take more food containing various essential vitamins. However, for many people following strict diet plan could be very difficult. This is probably due practical difficulties like a job, personal work, etc. Moreover, the natural food may not have vitamin in required level. To find an effective cure for hair loss, you need to do some research. There are many resources on the Internet to enlighten you in this regard.
So how do you find the right hair vitamin supplement products? There are several aspects to look after when you are shopping hair growth supplement. The product that you choose not just target on hair loss alone, but also aid in stimulating growth follicle as well. Product with DHT blocker can do a great job in preventing hair loss to a great extent. DHT is one of the hormones that are majorly attributed in male baldness.
Hair products that use more natural extracts or herbs are safer than those utilize chemical ingredients. If possible you can make your hair growth supplement in your home using herbs, seeds and other natural ingredients. Whenever buying a product, check whether it is subjected to various clinical trials before it is being sold in the market. You should buy only the clinical tested and properly approved products.
Before taking a final decision, go through the review website to find out how the specific products are rated in the market. If you are so confused in picking the right product, then you should spend some time in reading the hair growth supplement reviews.
Hair loss is not something that is totally incurable. These days, many medicines and supplements have come to prevent and cure hair loss. But the trick is that you need to find out which supplement works best for you case. For some people, who lose hair due to pollution may require a different kind of treatments, while those suffer hair loss due to vitamin deficiency will require a different solution.
You should first determine the actual cause of your hair loss before stopping your hair loss products. You can talk with a dermatologist or go through online resources to gather knowledge on hair loss. By gaining proper knowledge, you would be able to tackle your hair loss problems wisely.

yes. just yes. and thats all the words I have. just yes. thank you.
Wonderful. Thank you. If there is a way to help you back to voice lessons, please know that I, at least—a complete internet stranger—would gladly help.
I am breathless. Speechless. (thank you.)
See if you had tried to tell me the formula for the lines I'd have no idea what you are talking about, but those lines make sense as soon as I translate it to movement.
Also, lots of crying from me.
Listening to the beats between two pitches. Very fun, very joyful. I used to tune organs. Loved listening to the sound waves. I can't do all the math like you can, I could just hear the beats and could (and probably still can) hear 13 or so overtones given a starting pitch low enough and without a lot of what sounds like white noise in it. By saying "can't do the math like you can" I mean I have a math learning disability, or I think I do. But I will have to think about that, since it could be that I am experiencing something mathematical in music. Your pictures of what C and G and a 5th sound like make sense to me but I am not sure why.
I taught myself to sing (somewhat) by recording my voice over and over and over until the recording sounded like what I wanted it to sound like. This was after a music teacher told me I was "too old" to train my voice. One of the many bad music experiences that I tried to turn around. I am very protective about what I share re: music, due to bullying at various times.
Two things:
1) Is not being able to sight sing a visual processing thing?!?!!?! My CP causes some interesting processing issues and I was NEVER EVER EVER able to sight sing, which is why doing NYSSMA terrified me, even though I loved singing in front of a judge and having them hear what I could do.
2) "My parents were told students with IEPs couldn't take AP classes" I'm sure you know this already but that is some FUCKED UP BULLSHIT. I had an IEP all throughout school and I took a shit-ton of AP classes, including 4 my senior year.
I understood very little of what you just wrote.
Neither math or music I understand well.
But thank you for describing how language put you in a place where you couldn't access what you knew, not for the purposes of grades anyway.
I am so sadend by what I've read here, but I am also moved by the poetry you experience in something I cannot see at all.

[…] What does it mean to be a neurodiversity activist? We think that, among other things, it means to create spaces – virtual spaces, cultural spaces, and places in the world – where people of all neurological differences are accepted and valued. Sometimes it doesn't mean anything more than to say "thank you" for someone's honesty in sharing their story. Thank you, Julia. […]
altho, considered neuro-typical,..(is there such a thing as normal? typical?) i could absolutely follow this…math to music, a bit of a synesthetic, numbers are music i hear, patterns in algebra are strains of symphony, and my favorite intervals are fifths!
while i can sight read, it is like looking at a page of polynomial equations for me..
i drove my math teachers nuts all through school with the way i got the right answers in my own shortcut ways. now my autistic daughter benefits, because i find rote memorisation of addition facts or the multiplication tables unnecessary to the relationships going on within a numerical phrase. (she is good at math and bad at memorising.
thanks for sharing this.
now i feel a bit less strange -
love the colors of synesthesia!
Thank you for sharing this. Your efforts to communicate this, will help others. You are brave. Congratulations on your epiphany!
Julia, there is an electronic analytic instrument called an oscilloscope that portrays pure tones exactly as you have illustrated. You can get it as an app for nearly any computing device.
Julia, there is an electronic analytic instrument called an oscilloscope that portrays pure tones exactly as you have illustrated. You can get it as an app for nearly any computing device.
The oscilloscope view would be different to Julia's diagrams. She shows the C and G as the same frequency but shifted along; in the oscilloscope, G does 3 cycles to every 2 of C's (and a "fifth" is the frequency relationship 3:2, and a "fourth" the frequency relationship 4:3). G is halfway between C and the next C (on a log scale).
I never understood music as a kid, but was good with maths; but when my friend explained this to me then it was like a light going off and everything else about music fell into place. I internalize a "fourth" and a "fifth" as the same interval but one is upside down.
I don't understand Julia's diagrams but wish I did 🙂
I have a problem because both those notes on the graph seem to be the same frequency but phase shifted. I would have expected a difference in frequency and summing the sinewaves would highlight overtones. But I'm not musical.
This'll be really quick (HA HA HA!) because I have to go vote and buy a computer that actually WORKS, but you are not alone here. I have many of the same interesting quirks as you do, music-wise, including the ones that really stump professional musicians, like not being able to sight-read despite knowing how, grammatically, the sheet music works, and being completely unable to tell you which tone is higher or lower, but only whether they match or not. I tried to teach myself guitar once and found I couldn't for the life of me tune the guitar to the output of an electronic tuner, because the waveforms didn't match — but I have a sort of half-assed phonographic memory, and I would have been just fine if someone had let me know that it's supposed to play the first few notes of "Also Sprach Zarathustra". (I also snapped at quite a few people who tried to find out how I tuned the thing by ear, because just asking me to think about whether it's too high or too low, or which way I was turning the peg, completely destroyed my ability to do goddamn ANYTHING with the instrument.)
And I also have random math brilliance but fail math classes HARD. I did great when I was young and the school's policy was to reward me for learning things by teaching me other things as fast as I could go, and didn't much care how I worked problems mechanically as long as I got the right answer. After I was basically told I could take math classes that followed the standard pedagogy or not at all, I flunked things left and right, because they were boring as hell and didn't at all match how I modeled things in my head. On the other hand, it's made me a great tutor for people who are learning disabled in some way — because I think about a lot of things in a non-standard way, I come up with analogies in a lot of different sensory modes, and if I keep trying long enough I'll eventually hit on one that makes sense to someone else.
Out of curiosity, have you ever read any of the books by Richard Feynman? He was unquestionably brilliant, but had a knack for thinking about things in what his conventional colleagues considered puzzlingly weird ways. He tended to run models in his head that were visual or involved spatial motion — his story about the "fuzzy oranges" is pretty charming. He modeled people the same way, which may be of some use to you if you're interested in finding out how other people's theory-of-mind works, in an intellectual sort of way.
Calculus IS achingly beautiful! That's all I can say for now.
Details not the same, and I don't think I'm as good at it as you are, but this describes really well something I've been trying to explain to my friends forever about me and math. Somehow they got it more about music. Also I didn't have as many problems in math class and I'm starting to realize I'm lucky. I had a really good handwriting tutor before I got to anything very visual in math that helped but work out a few general characteristics to convert everything to tactile. My biggest problems are still always notation, but I can at least get the data in to try to find the pattern, like solving a weird sort of code.
Anyway, seriously thank you for writing this.

What a fascinating lesson! I never would have paired music or arithmetics together – because I am not skilled in either – but you've told the story of their relationship so beautifully!
These are two things I would have never connected. What an interesting piece. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely stunning! I knew music and math were inextricably linked together but this is just pure magic.
Interesting post. I was not very good at music or math during high school. I never took any type of musical classes until my 10th grade year. I started with learning scales and quickly figured out where B flat and FFF were on the scale and on the instrument. But I absolutely could not understand how to read music. But i did know how to read a tape measure. Then one day it hit me like a ton of bricks….1 inch became whole notes. One quarter inch became quarter notes. One eighth inch became eighth notes. I'm still not good at reading complicated music but I can read the basic stuff.
I to have a profound hatred for calculators. I was no fan of graphing either (I prefer my numbers in equations, not as a line with no value). And don't get me started on graphing calculators. The only math class I ever failed was the result of 85% of the class being done with a graphing calculator. The thing cost more than my first car and sat like a large electronic paperweight in the bottom desk drawer for four years. I'm a math major in college, and I still cannot properly run a graphing calculator. It's nice to meet others who love their numbers as much as I do!
This is incredible. I think you may have just helped me to decide what topic to base my Physics Pre-U investigation on. I too am fascinated by the link between maths and music and this has definitely persuaded me to look further into the science of harmonics!
Yes! At last!
I loved maths as a little kid, but nobody every told me it was maths.
When I was three, we had an octagonal table at Kindergarten. I saw it and said "if it had more corners, it would be a circle". It made sense to me without counting the corners or sides, because it was closer to a circle than a square table was. It just looked like a wonky circle to me.
We used to play games with quadratic equations as well, but we didn't acll them that. It was "I'm thinking of two numbers. If you add them together you get 11. If you multiply them, you get 24." It was fun, and nothing whatsoever to do with school.
Now, I sit at the back of the class with my friends, and chat. We have a good time, and draw funny pictures. Occasionally one of us takes notes. But of the three of us, we don't need to listen, because we can just work things out in the exam. In year 8, there was a choice to take the year 9 paper, just to see what level you got. The last question was about simultaneous equations, and it was just so intuitive. You need to have one equation, and this is how you're going to get it.
I know this isn't exactly what you were talking about, but this is what your post reminds me of.
Thank you. -
I always tell my students that math and music are related, but I think you've explained it in terms I'll never be able to dictate.
I never thought of cines in this manner before!
What an amazing post. I am not musical, and I do well in mathematics but I know that I don't understand it. This shows the side of things that I don't have.
i enjoyed this line – "I spent years being tortured with perversions of.."
thanks -
This is an amazing read!!! Music is close to my heart. I also have many years in classical music.. Never had voice training though… And I can relate on so many more things you spoke about!! Keep it up!! Cheers 🙂
OMG! This is exactly how i see music – and, mathematics. Shapes and patterns. And writing, which is what I do the most of. I'd prefer music, I learned hands-on piano playing for many years, but I never really had the co-ordination. It may seem odd that writing is about shapes and patterns – and, for me, about the way they collide. The words, like Royal Schools notation, are merely an imperfect device for expressing what arrives as the inexpressible.
This is so inspirational! Things like this make me want to write music differently, to approach it in a different way, notate it differently and play it differently. Thank you!
Hi; I found you via a Facebook link and simply *had* to come by and learn more. I'm autistic and proud, and am always happy to meet fellow autists and parents of autistic children (my son is profoundly autistic and I only just got my diagnosis recently – but I've always known).
I'm really looking forward to reading more of your blog 🙂

Integration is the inverse of differentiation. Right?
nordling- yes. That's correct
[…] Another post I read is a beautifully crafted piece exploring synesthesia ( crossing of senses) in the author's ability to visualize mathematical functions and music , giving rise to an inherently intuitive and enviable understanding of math , all the while unable to pursue an education in either because of her inability to process visual cues such as those found on sheet music or math exams at the level which most education establishments demand . She states that should there have been an alternative for her in taking exams – being dictated the problems on a bigger surface like a whiteboard, for example, to space out the stimulus, she would have been able to , but as it is, there are not enough provisions taken to support those with differing operating systems . […]
The issues we've had with them are not the same (I'm just a tenor second,) but I hear these, and I feel them, and some of your notations for it even makes sense.
And what they did. That is horrible. -
[…] discovered via this post called "Quiet Hands". how can i not love her ? – the way she talks about maths, seriously ! […]
Aie, calculus and music, stop being so beautiful.
If I could give you a lot of hugs, I would (especially as my friend and I both have the different-exam-provision thing). I think about both completely differently though – my head works in maths so I have to work twice as hard at everything that isn't maths to understand it and like to think of things as mathematical puzzles. So I can explain it to you perfectly well in numbers or even with graphs, though I'm crap at visualisation (although the line thing is useful, I admit), but I find words more cumbersome to use. Plus I have the double whammy of synaesthesia and absolute pitch, so numbers and notes have taste and colour in my head (and it means my method of reading music doesn't work for anyone else).
I also physically felt those sine waves, which was odd…
I wish I knew you. We could have some amazing conversations about both music and math, which happen to be the two categories into which everything I love thinking and dreaming about fits.
I have my own music theory, based on the mathematics of harmonics, which I use to invent my own keys — major, minor, harmonic minor, and double harmonic are just the beginning, and there are so many other flavors to be experienced — and which I also use to explain what chords fit where and why. (It's a predictive theory, so I can also tell you with some degree of confidence what keys will sound good before I hear them, what notes can naturally act as tonics or root notes, which chords will sound harmonic, which chord transitions will sound natural, what keys will be implied by which chord progressions, etc., etc. Ask and I'll tell you more.) Like you, I hear other notes in chords than just those that are being played. I also hear the chords that go with a melody, just from the melody alone. And when I hear a song, I keep hearing it mentally long long after it is over, even if I only heard a tiny piece of it. Sometimes just mentioning something associated with a song will make me hear it in my head.
When I think about anything, it is in terms of math. Math came so naturally and automatically to me that my teachers would get on to me for not showing my work, but I couldn't bear to because of the painful slowness of it; the answers were obvious to me, and how/why am I supposed to explain what should be obvious? I even understand English in terms of math. (It's hard for me to understand how people don't see the connection.)
I love trying to understand how other people think, especially when it's a unique perspective. I have a unique perspective on almost everything, but when I talk to most people, they all sound the same. They make the same assumptions and observations, and jump to the same conclusions. My mind goes in a different direction — not illogical or fragmented or anything like that, just striking out on its own to see truths and patterns that other people don't grasp while ignoring many of the things they think are obvious. So when I read what you wrote here, I sat up with interest. Here is another mind that strikes out in its own direction, with its own insights. The value of a thought to me is proportional not only to its correctness, but to its uniqueness, and you sound like you are full of unique thoughts. You obviously have some real gems, surprising insights that come out of left field. Perhaps we could share…
Hi Julia, I"m not very good at math. But your struggles with the language of music resonated with me. For me music is very intuitive. At least when it comes to my voice. Ever since I was little I could sign virtually anything I heard. The problem was when it came to physically playing it with my hands. I struggled for years as a kid simply to play a C major chord. When I finally figured it out, it felt as if the heaven had opened up. I can now play a simple accompaniment while I sing on the piano. But playing anything the requires hand independence is basically beyond me.
As far as musical language is concerned, anything beyond a simple 7th chord and my mind goes blank. But here's the thing, I can sit down at the piano and start improvising and the most amazing chords will come out, but I have no idea what they are theory wise. I can sort of figure them out if I stop and play each note of the chord one by one, but even then, it's a struggle processing wise.
Sheer brilliance!
I just found your blog tonight. I am moved by your honesty, yes… but it's the clarity with which you describe your intensely personal viewpoint that has left me in tears. I am so thankful for first hand accounts like you have shared. As a mother, I am desperate to be of help and guidance in any way that I can. I am often left feeling incapable and fearful that I am not "enough" for my son (he is 5 years old and diagnosed on the spectrum last November). I look forward to hearing more about your experiences! You have blessed me more than you could know!
I am not autistic, nor am I particularly brilliant at math or music. But I have been the weird kid in math class who annoyed the teacher by coming to the answer intuitively instead of doing it the "right" way.
I've also been a teacher of students with learning differences–not really by training, I just happen to be someone who was good at school and happened to know brilliant "learning disabled" people who struggled with subjects I knew they were "smart enough" to grasp, and I became fascinated at a young age with how different people's brains process things differently.
Last year, I found myself making a living off of my interest in how people learn when I took on tutoring jobs after dropping out of graduate school. It was nothing special–I was doing SAT test prep for the most part, painfully dull. But the beautiful thing was that I was working one on one, and I got to spend time really trying to understand where the disconnects in understanding my students had came from. I had one student who was convinced she was "too dumb" for math, and who particularly struggled with geometry. For several sessions we circled the issue maddeningly, with me failing to grasp why she could articulate so many of the "rules" to me, but fail so miserably at using them to approach a novel problem.
In one of our last sessions, the student mentioned off-hand that she has a vision problem that means she has never had normal depth perception. A few minutes of discussion, and everything fell into place: the conventional ways we draw 3-dimensional objects on paper were completely nonsensical to her, and over the years she had developed such an aversion to ANY math problem involving pictures. She'd also gotten into the habit of claiming to understand explanations from instructors despite being entirely lost any time certain types of language were used to describe physical relationships, because that language fundamentally failed to reflect how she saw/understood things.
Basically, this student had major deficits in spatial reasoning related to a vision/visual processing issue, and not once in her entire educational career had someone taken the time to try and understand how SHE saw things. And instead, this brilliant, sweet, thoughtful student had been left to believe that she was dumb, and to close off huge areas of possibility for herself because she was clearly "too dumb to learn math".
In the brief amount of time I had left with her, I spent a lot of time reading about methods for teaching geometry to students with visual impairments, and together the student and I managed to come up with a few hacks to allow her to complete at least the simpler geometry problems on the SAT. But I desperately wish that I had been able to give her MORE, and that every student who experiences/learns differently could have teachers with the time, inclination, and training to reach them.
Thank you for this.
I sang "How Can I Keep From Singing" alone, at night, to stop being afraid.
I took AP calculus and knew what mathematics really was about for the first time, and that I liked it.
And other things; private play of reference and allusion, the way schedules and words are so much harder than they understand, learning slowly to be Autistic and proud.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for sharing this; that was amazing. As a fellow synesthete I understand where you're coming from.
This is so beautiful. Loved it.

I recently posted a piece on my historicneworleanscemeteries blog about Mr. Martin Gauthier that I thought would be interesting and useful to amateur genealogists and historians. I just wanted to put it out there so that as many people can see it as possible. It could possibly be very useful to Louisiana researchers.

Green Pedestrain Crossing- More Walking, Less Driving.
China Environmental Protection Foundation
DDB Shanghai
Click here to watch the video
40% of carbon monoxide emissions come from cars. According to China's Ministry of Commerce; the country is now the world's largest car market with over 500 million vehicles on the road. This is without a doubt having a huge impact on the environment. China Environmental Protection Foundation wanted an attention grabbing tactic to urge everyone to do their bit for the environment. They asked people to walk more, and drive less. We created an outdoor advertisement on the street to push this message.
We decided to leverage a busy pedestrian crossing; a place where both pedestrians and drivers meet. We lay a giant canvas of 12.6 meters long by 7 meters wide on the ground, covering the pedestrian crossing with a large leafless tree. Placed on either side of the road beneath the traffic lights, were sponge cushions soaked in green environmentally friendly washable and quick dry paint. As pedestrians walked towards the crossing, they would step onto the green sponge and as they walked, the soles of their feet would make foot imprints onto the tree on the ground. Each green footprint added to the canvas like leaves growing on a bare tree, which made people feel that by walking they could create a greener environment.
The Green Pedestrian Crossing was carried out in 7 main streets of Shanghai and later expanded to 132 roads in 15 cities across China. A total number of pedestrians that participated exceeded 3,920,000 people. Key media both online and offline rapidly wrote about the campaign. According to research, the overall awareness of environmental protection had increased 86%. After the campaign, the print was exhibited at the Shanghai Zheng Da Art Museum.

The Two Things Clients Never Want, But Need the Most
O.k. Never might be an exaggeration. Nonetheless, it's true that there are two things clients never want to pay for but they need the most. I'm talking about the foundation for all effective communications, and the feedback you get afterwards.
I'm talking about Research and Measurement.
Without research, there's no way to know if what you're communicating will matter. There's no telling whether or not you have your message right. And there's no way to see if you're even talking to the right people! Most importantly, you want to be able to predict the outcome of your communications, the results.
And without measurement, there's no way of knowing whether or not your efforts made a difference. If you're only counting outputs (what you put out–i.e. tweets, press releases, Facebook posts, LinkedIn Answers, etc.), then you're not even coming close to being able to tell if you've been effective.
And if you can't measure effectiveness, you also can't measure value. In other words, you can't PROVE your hard work and efforts were worth the money. Sales is a common yard stick, but it's a blunt instrument.
More important in the age of social media is measuring relationships. Are relationships getting stronger as a result of your activities? How will you know unless you measure them? (Check out this paper for a good primer on measuring relationships.)
Too often, clients don't want to pay for either research or measurement. Too often, clients focus on the tactical output of a campaign, and not the outcomes.
And to these clients, I say: "STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY." Seriously. Make room in your budget for research and measurement. You will get far more out of your initiatives if your communications are built around a foundation of research–and if you can tell whether or not they're effective.

I've been lacking in some of my updates..I got this quite awhile ago from Chinese Tea Shop as a sample. It arrived very, very quickly! I got this package before I got some of the ones I was expecting from in the states.
This is my first infusion of this tea. I used lower temp. water for a lower time. I'm a bit unfamiliar with oolong steeping; so this may have been a strange guess on that aspect.
This was my first excursion into Iron Goddess teas. The leaves were just beautiful. I have a certain love of oolong leaves and this one was just nice to watch.
The liquor is this beautiful yellow/gold color.
The flavor is so smooth and relaxing. I can taste very slight floral notes. I can't quite explain what they are though! Shame on my young palate. :p But there is this distinct almost, hm, buttery note to it. It is very pleasant. There are some vegetal notes but they aren't overpowering or unpleasant in the least. This blend gets high points for me because none of the leaves' smell is lost in the liquor. That subtle floral aroma stays with it.
I highly recommend this tea; especially for people like me who are new to unflavored oolongs. It really is a nice oolong!

Colorado Springs Council Approves Fire Codes
Residents of Mountain Shadows who lost homes to the Waldo Canyon fire will have to abide by a stricter fire code when they rebuild. As KRCC's Liz Ruskin reports, Colorado Springs City Council today passed new rules for the city's hillside neighborhoods.
The codes require new houses on the western edge to be made from more fire-resistant materials. They also include landscaping restrictions. The rules are projected to add about $6,000 to construction costs per home.
Several people who lost properties in Mountain Shadows say the new rules just add to their woes. Jonni McCoy spoke at the council session, saying her insurance is only paying about 50 cents on the dollar.
"So we're already having to choose what things not to ever replace. If these burdens are placed on us, we have to choose even further what not to replace in order to pay for the code. I don't think that's fair."
Older houses in the neighborhood won't have to bring their properties up to the new standards.
Councilwoman Lisa Czelatdko says she understands how they feel but says it's a start to creating a safer city. It passed 6-2, with councilors Angela Doogan and Tim Leigh voting no. Council President Scott Hente was recused.

Nahhh, that's ROTHBURY talk
i may have been from the 517 area but that sounds about right. i miss the MI
That is the sweetest thing!

Oh yeah? I have one on my roof, with the C-481 cap. Two refrigerant lines and a 3/4 PVC for the control wiring. I have one port left if I ever need to add something like wiring for security cameras, a weather station, or whatever. It costs a few bucks, but it's way better than a pitch pan.
BTW, the guys who did that first install crammed the 2 refrig lines through a 2" metal vent flashing and of course couldn't seal it properly due to the small size of the hole. Idiots.

One of the hardest things for me as a mom is not being able to take care of myself so much anymore. I use to be able to do my own facial, care for my hair, mani and pedi, hang out with friends, go different places, and so on. Now, I am just so lazy! I would still try to look nice but I am just too lazy especially in losing some of the weight I gained.
Anyway, haircuts are expensive in America. I spend $40-$50 just for a haircut. To others that's probably nothing but to me, that is a lot of money. I do try to find deals but a lot of times they are far from where I live. This is why it takes me almost a year to go get a haircut. So I go to my regular salon place. Booked it last night and was able to schedule for today.
My hairstylist is a nice lady. I told her it's that time again where I need to feel human again. My hair needs some caring.
I know she was pregnant last time so I asked how her baby is doing. We couldn't stop talking about kids the whole time. It's funny how parents can relate to each other when it comes to kids. It's true that kids drive us crazy during the day but at night when they're sleeping, they're just so precious!
Felt good after my haircut! It made me feel like I was modeling a hair product! I can feel the wind blowing my hair nicely haha! I wish I can afford this all the time. LOL

Saturday was our 6th anniversary! In the morning, we ran a 5k. That was Caleb's choice of activities and I would be lying if I said I was super excited about it. It was fairly successful. We didn't walk at all which is good for me and I think I ruled out the idea of me ever doing a marathon or probably even a half marathon. I just don't like running that much (Sorry, Em). We worked around the house all day, pictures of that to come, and then that evening we went to dinner for my activity of choice... sushi!! We went to this restaurant here in Denton, Keichi, with only 10 seats and he makes all the sushi fresh right in front of you. I will say my favorite thing was the tenderloin mozzarella roll. He pulled out a blow torch and braised it right in front of us and I think the rest of the people sitting there were jealous cause they all wanted to know what it was. We then headed to Greenhouse for dessert before heading back to the house. Thanks to all the grandparents for watching the babies and letting us celebrate! We love you!!!There's a picture of the red hair finally, although it's faded quite a bit. Thanks to Caleb for being my best friend and partner in crime. I love you so much and am so proud to call you mine!

Tonight, Blythe and I ate the first blackberry off our vine! We washed it off and I handed it to Blythe to try. She took a bite and handed it back to me. I took a bite and gave it back to her as we walked up to the porch. When we got up the steps she handed it back to me and I popped the rest into my mouth. Apparently, she was handing it to me to hold while she climbed onto the swing and was super mad to find I had eaten the rest. I apologized profusely and pointed to all the other berries and told her as soon as they turned black we could eat them.

Joe has been staring at his hands for the last 20 minutes. Moving his fingers, turning his arm over, just staring. Every once in awhile he goes "huh." I was going to write something about how nice it must be to be so easily entertained. Then I realized I've been staring at a baby stare at his hands for the last 20 minutes. So apparently, I am that easily entertained.

Read Whole Story
One of the discoveries I made when writing my graduate thesis was that humor provides psychological, physical, spiritual, and social benefits. The benefit that most resonated with me is the way that humor helps us to manage stress.
I suppose it could be an urban legend that 4 to 6-year-olds laugh 300 times a day. No matter, really. The point is that children laugh way more than adults do. And that ought to tell us something.
For family caregivers, who struggle on a daily basis to care for loved ones who are sick, disabled or otherwise in need of chronic care, it can be too easy to forget the importance of humor.

Sideways Glance
The World is a curious place, and we mean that in more ways than one. Events around the globe always raise a lot of questions here in our Boston newsroom. Some of the questions we ask tackle a story head on - the who, what, when and where. But other questions, usually the why, can lead down less traveled, more interesting roads. And that's where Sideways Glance comes in. One of us finds a global story that hits us where we live – that makes us do a double, or even triple take, and then we dig in to learn more. The result? You can often find out more about a person, place or thing by taking a Sideways Glance than by looking at it straight on. The World's Clark Boyd serves as curator of our Sideways Glance segment.

Asian Maze is reported to be in fine form ahead of her run in the Prix la Barka at Auteuil tomorrow. The seven-year-old mare attempts to complete a hat-trick in the Group Two event at the Paris track after emphatic wins in the Aintree Hurdle and the Punchestown Champion Stayers' Hurdle.
"She travelled over on Wednesday morning and arrived safely," her trainer, Tom Mullins, said. "Everything's 100 per cent and we're looking forward to Sunday.
"The ground is soft there at the moment. I'd prefer it to be a bit better, but that would be OK."
Asian Maze's performance in the two and a three-quarter mile contest will help the Co Kilkenny trainer decide whether to take her back to Auteuil for the French Champion Hurdle next month.
"The French Champion Hurdle is an extra couple of furlongs, so that might put us off," he added.
Day Flight is the only British-trained challenger in tomorrow's Grosser Mercedes-Benz-Preis at Baden-Baden. John Gosden's five-year-old won a Sandown Group Three on his seasonal bow and will try to follow up in this Group Two contest over a mile and three furlongs.
The Sadler's Wells horse will be partnered by Jimmy Fortune.

I've finally figured out the point of the New Yorker, and no, I am not about to insinuate anything about bathroom reading material. No, the point of the New Yorker is that when you're feeling sorry for yourself about how you live in a trillionth-floor walk-up in Brooklyn and have just carried three weeks' worth of laundry to the laundromat, you can then sit and wait for the wash cycle to finish while reading about the Skid Row homeless and trafficked young girls from Moldova, both of which make you feel lucky to spend the day schlepping.
That said, the Austrian basement-incest case exists to remind those with even Third World Problems that they could have it worse. Not for those who have yet to eat lunch, an Australian news video (how's that for confusing the geographically-challenged) introduces the story with shots of the most depraved man alive in a Speedo. Europe may be "better in some ways," but male swimwear is not one of them.

Your comment about reading the New Yorker in the laundramat gave me a sense of deja vu. I wonder, if like me, you now associate the sound of the end of the wash or dry cycle with that magazine. I no longer go to laundramats (hooray), but 18 years later the sound association persists. JM

"I've finally figured out the point of the New Yorker"
You're in the vague neighborhood here, but a bit off on the details.
Xanax and/or marijuana is the proper way to get through the boredom of the laundromat.
The New Yorker is expressly designed to give you something to read at the gym during the boredom of the workout and sauna. - Saturday, May 03, 2008 3:29:00 AM

Wherein Allen Gwinn Wonders if DISD Hasn't Just Wasted Another Million Dollars and a Whole Lot of Time
The following comes from a July 31, 2006, story in The Dallas Morning News, shortly after the paper published a series of stories revealing that some Dallas Independent School District employees had used district-issued credit cards to run up more than $6 million in purchases that either violated district policies or state procurement laws.
Fraud experts say that hundreds of cardholders are likely to be interviewed by investigators. They could also have their personal finances, relationships and extracurricular activities examined as the district tries to determine how much of the $40 million charged in the last two years went toward illicit purchases.
This comes from a July 16, 2006, Dallas Morning News story about the persons leading the investigation into DISD credit-card abuse:
The last time Paul Coggins and Madeleine Johnson investigated corruption in Dallas schools, it was the late 1990s and both were U.S. attorneys. Their dragnet led to indictments of 13 DISD employees and sent Superintendent Yvonne Gonzalez to federal prison. Mr. Coggins and Ms. Johnson are about to dig into the Dallas Independent School District once again. Superintendent Michael Hinojosa retained the two lawyers Tuesday to lead an investigation into district credit card use.
And the following comes from a story on Dallas.org this morning, written by Allen Gwinn, who busted the district's big spenders long before The News. Using depositions taken in a related court case and other behind-the-scenes memos, Gwinn has discovered, in short, that Coggins and Johnson and their law firm have been paid $1 million in DISD dough, but that Coggins and Johnson have only interviewed one suspected credit-card abuser apiece. Gwinn also finds that the bulk of the investigation has been conducted by three other people who, after all this time, have looked at only a fraction of the alleged violations.
As opposed to gathering and organizing receipts in house, instead of retaining certified public accountants, instead of using resources which were already prepared, DISD made the decision to spend $1 million dollars using a $350-an-hour law firm to investigate between 12% and 16% of the transactions committed with its procurement cards.
Gwinn also provides some early-morning reading: depositions from two of the three investigators looking into the procurement-card abuse. We plan to start reading them...um...any second. --Robert Wilonsky
