BLUE REFLECTION is a modern, sporty Jongert 2100s with exceptional sailing performance and supreme comfort. The double helm position in the aft cockpit affords an optimal view of the sails and the entire deck. Thanks to the balanced rig and underwater hull, the yacht has excellent sailing and rudder characteristics.
The light interior furnishings and the teak flooring throughout the yacht create an especially elegant and friendly atmosphere. Top-class workmanship, reliability and safety complete the superb sailing characteristics. The successful mix of classical boat-building, state-of-the-art technology and the individual wishes of the owner give this yacht her very own character and charm. Excellent protection from the wind and rain is provided by the semi-open deckhouse with a canopy. The communications area inside the yacht features a chart table and navigation equipment. In the salon amidships a large dining
table comfortably seats six people. A fully-fitted professional galley is situated to starboard. The machinery can be quickly and easily accessed and maintained in the engine room. The
stern-garage with its integrated bathing platform offers plenty of storage space.
The recent refit in 2016 included a new paint of the mast and boom as well as the hull/stern!

Between mid-2005 and mid-2007, Japanese equities outperformed their global peers. Junichiro Koizumi's cabinets had apparently successfully ended the banking crisis, and with it, the Heisei Malaise that had afflicted Japan since the prior bubble burst in 1990. With the banking system apparently fixed and the Koizumi reforms apparently working, domestic and foreign investors came to believe that Japan was on its way back to sustainable economic growth.
But then came a merry-go-round of ineffective subsequent LDP governments and the effective dismantling of the Koizumi reforms. The global financial crisis that erupted following the failure of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 was doubly hard on Japan as, 1) the unruly unwinding of the JPY carry trade coincided with 2) a virtual implosion of Japan's exports, which knocked out the main support for economic growth from the 2003 trough.
Japanese voters, who essentially after 50 years of Liberal Democratic (LDP) rule, finally drummed up the courage for a change in government, voted in the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) in September 2009. The reasoning that anything could be better than an apparent return to the endless circle of political graft, wasteful spending and virtual ignorance of urban voters of the "old" LDP.
On the surface, the new Hatoyama Administration's promise to shift government resources to focus on people's livelihoods from just pouring more concrete sounded plausible enough. The promise to wrest control from a sclerotic bureaucracy and rein in wasteful spending sounded good for urban, salaried voters who had seen nothing but higher taxes and declining bonuses/salaries and an ever-shakier national pension system under the old LDP.
While the new administration at first enjoyed high support, Japanese stocks peaked just before the elections and continued to slide into December. Foreign investors were becoming increasingly despondent about the new administration's lack of a clear strategy to return Japan's economy to growth. Also, the Bank of Japan was looking much like a coffee shop intellectual, i.e., just sitting on its hands and pretending to be an interested observer rather than a key participant in fixing what ailed Japan. As a result, Japanese stock prices slid nearly 20% between August and early December, as developed world stock markets were rallying some 15%.
Click to enlarge:
Yet, just as foreign investor sentiment regarding Japanese equities was hitting new lows, Japanese stock prices from early December began to outperform their global peers. What has changed?
The Hatoyama Administration has yet to come up with a credible growth strategy, and its support continues to deteriorate as voters realize that the DPJ has just as many political scandal skeletons in its closet as the LDP. The billions of yen Mr. Hatoyama's election office received from his Bridgestone fortune heiress mother is either, a) an evasion of inheritance taxes or b) illegal political funding. This threatens to topple the new government, if another funding scandal by the party's man-behind-the-scenes (Ichro Ozawa) does not.
The new government's math about implementing "people (voter) friendly" policies without blowing up Japan's fiscal finances is fuzzy at best, and it is generally believed that the shift in policy initiatives will be a net detriment to Japan's GDP growth in 2010. Given ongoing deflation, the Nikkei (Japan Financial Journal) is forecasting a big fat zero for Japan's nominal GDP growth in 2010, even if real GDP manages 1%~2% growth.
But market sentiment regarding JPY and USD have appreciably shifted. Basically, Japanese equities have begun to outperform their global developed market peers because the gods of global monetary policy have begun to smile on them. Firstly, the Bank of Japan surprised investors by getting off its derriere and actually pumping about JPY10 trillion of liquidity into Japan's financial markets, while also openly signalling they were prepared to do more (such as purchasing more JGBs with its balance sheet). Secondly, the U.S. Federal Reserve is clearly but cautiously implementing its exit strategy, signalling to investors that a good deal of the $12 trillion of extraordinary liquidity provided to backstop the U.S. (and world) financial system during the crisis will be dismantled starting from February 2010.
As a result, the unrelenting appreciation in JPY has been stopped in its tracks, while the USD index staged a sharp rally on what looks like short covering, but could evolve into a 6-month or more USD rally/JPY consolidation.
Click to enlarge:
While this is bad news for those betting on a strong yen and new highs in the FXY ETF, it's good news for Japanese stocks--especially the export sector--as these stocks move inversely in real time to moves in JPY (particularly when JPY is trading above JPY100/USD) in real time. The following table shows just how highly correlated different sectors of the Japanese equity market are to movements in both JPY/USD and JPY/EURO.
The U.S. Fed of course is encouraged enough by signs of recovery in the U.S. economy to begin cautiously withdrawing what has historically been extraordinary stimulus. The OECD index of leading indicators shows that this recovery is more than a U.S.-specific phenomenon. While GDP growth expectations for the OECD nations remain quite low, the OECD index of leading indicators continues to recover from a bottom seen in February of 2009. Historically, Japanese stock prices have tracked the OECD index of leading indicators quite well, but there has been a noticeable lag this time.
Click to enlarge:
Finally, while the back-up in U.S. treasury yields in 2009 has already produced one of the worst years for U.S. bond market performance on record, major investment banks like Morgan Stanley see U.S. 10yr treasury yields rising another 40% to 5.5% in 2010. While this could well be problematic for the U.S. recovery and U.S. stock prices, the Nikkei 225 has historically shown a high positive correlation to rising U.S. bond yields.
Click to enlarge:
Thus given, a) a rising USD index, b) rising U.S. treasury yields and c) continued recovery in the OECD index of leading indicators, Japanese stocks can rally despite anemic GDP growth and the ongoing issue of Japan's high government debt, even though we suspect that current market sentiment is already quite bearish on the cyclical recovery in Japan's GDP. A hint of what is doable in Japanese equities is the 76% rebound already seen in Japan's precision sector index in 2009, from a low of 1,733.27 in February 2009 to a high of 3,058.20 in December as the year was ending.
This sector has several stocks tradeable as ADRs in the U.S., including Advantest (NYSE:ATE), Canon (NYSE:CAJ), Kyocera (NYSE:KYO), Nidec (NYSE:NJ) and TDK (TDK), a group that also fits into the U.S. tech recovery theme. The major caveat is that this rally will not lift all boats, particularly those stocks still mired in what is still a domestic economy malaise.
Further, some see Japan's big banks as the ultimate contrarian play. But new international accounting rules that dictate Japanese companies must release statements of comprehensive earnings (which include unrealized gains/losses on cross holdings) as well as more stringent BIS (Bank of International Settlement) capital requirements. This could well stunt any attempted rally in the big banks which still hold a noticeable amount of stocks in other companies and vice versa. Since "domestic only" stocks will continue to be a noticeable drag on the benchmark indices, we suggest selective exposure to Japanese equities rather than a simplistic "buy the index" approach.

California's legislators call for national freight policy
SJR 33 calls on the United States Congress to create a National Freight Policy.
in the News
State of Logistics 2016: Pursue mutual benefit ATA reports sharp decrease in Q4 truckload driver turnover rate Challenges remain in store for shippers, says FTR SCI report Florida East Coast Railway to be acquired by Grupo Mexico Cat Lift Trucks awards $5,000 scholarship to high school student More NewsSenate Joint Resolution 33 by State Senator Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach), Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Ports and Goods Movement, was passed unanimously by the California State Assembly this week. SJR 33 calls on the United States Congress to create a National Freight Policy.
There is currently no such policy to coordinate federal investments in trade infrastructure with any of the myriad of safety, security, environmental and transportation agencies that are intertwined with our national and international supply chains.
"SJR 33 is an acknowledgment of the fact that, while California's airports, border crossings and seaports are critical national assets that facilitate massive amounts of international commerce, the federal government lacks a coordinated plan to invest in these assets," said Mike Jacob, Vice President of the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association (PMSA), a trade association representing ocean carriers and marine terminal operators that do business at California's public ports.
"The lack of a national freight policy hurts West Coast trade, as self-help states like California will continue to locally bear the costs of both facilitating trade growth and reducing environmental impacts, without the benefit of full federal investment and partnership in trade supporting
investment," added Jacob.
The adoption of a national freight policy, as requested of Congress by SJR 33, would create a uniform federal interest in improving the flow of cargo through California's airports, seaports and land ports of entry.

A hearing to determine whether former Venice Elementary School special education teacher Diana O'Neill keeps her teaching certificate is scheduled for Jan. 25.
An administrative law judge will review evidence on whether O'Neill abused special education students and whether she should return to the classroom.
That recommendation will then be accepted or rejected by the Education Practices Commission, which rules on teacher disciplinary issues.
O'Neill served a four-week suspension in 2009 for hitting students on the head with water bottles, kicking a student and pulling the skin off the lip of another, according to a Sarasota schools investigation. She was arrested and tried but acquitted of abuse charges.
EPC members in September rejected a settlement agreement between O'Neill's attorneys and the state Department of Education, under which O'Neill would keep her teaching license but receive a letter of reprimand and pay $1,100 in fines and probation costs.
January hearing set on special education teacher's future

In a few weeks, the world will see the model year 2000 bikes from all of the major manufacturers in Milan, Italy. There has been much speculation about these bikes, and it is now time to reveal them in the flesh (if the expected models even exist).
With this in mind, I wanted to share some thoughts about the direction motorcycles are headed on the eve of the millennium. Sure, these thoughts include MD's personal biases, but, hopefully, include some solid evidence to back them up.
In street bikes, we are seeing an interesting evolution. For the past several years, we've had two polar opposites on the street bike spectrum. These include hard-core sport bike enthusiasts on the one end, and the hard-core cruiser enthusiasts (yes, primarily Harley-Davidson riders) on the other end. It appeared that there would never be any common ground between these two, other than mutual dislike and antagonism. MD has witnessed some slow but certain changes, however.
Cruisers are starting to handle better and get faster. Sport bikes are starting to include within their numbers machines than emphasize fun and visceral appeal over outright performance. Let me translate that last sentence for you – cruisers are becoming more like sport bikes and sport bikes are becoming more like cruisers. If you don't believe us, just look at the quarter mile times posted by a Honda Valkyrie, the recent introduction of the Polaris "SportCruiser" and the enthusiastic reception by sport bike riders of Suzuki's SV 650 and Motto Guzzi's V-11 Sport.
If you ride a Harley, do you have to hate Yamaha R-1 pilots? If you ride an R-1, do you have to hate Harley riders? The answer is no. If you are a Harley rider, and you appreciate a faster, better handling cruiser, then you can appreciate the values cherished by hard-core sport bike riders. On the other hand, if you are an R-1 rider, and can appreciate the appeal of Moto Guzzi's V-11 sport, then you can appreciate the hard-core Harley riders who focus on feel and image as an important part of the motorcycling experience.

Job Search / Applying to the FBI
« on: April 02, 2007, 01:56:30 PM »
I am considering applying to the FBI for a special agent position, but am unsure how this will affect my ability to practice law in the future. I wonder whether spend ing 3-5 years in the FBI as a special agent will hurt or help me if I decide to practice law after those 3-5 years. Working as a special agent isn't exactly practicing law, but it is a very prestigious position and is law related. Any thoughts?

Piroxicam use while Breastfeeding
Drugs containing Piroxicam: Feldene
Piroxicam Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
Low amounts of piroxicam in milk and failure to detect piroxicam or its metabolites in the urine of 2 older infants indicates that it would not be expected to cause adverse effects in older breastfed infants. Because there is no published experience with piroxicam during breastfeeding in the newborn period, shorter-acting agents may be preferred while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
Drug Levels
Maternal Levels. Peak milk levels of 170 and 220 mcg/L were found in the milk of 2 women who were taking piroxicam 20 and 40 mg daily, respectively. The time of the peak milk levels were 12 and 4 hours after the dose, respectively, in the 2 women.[1]
Maximum milk piroxicam levels averaging 40 mcg/L were found in 3 women during the first week of therapy with oral piroxicam 20 mg daily. After steady-state was attained in these 3 women plus one additional woman, milk levels averaged 102 mcg/L during the first 12 hours after the dose and 73 mcg/L during the period of 13 to 24 hours after the dose. A nursing infant would receive an estimated average 3.5% and maximum 6.3% of the weight-adjusted maternal dosage.[2]
Infant Levels. No piroxicam could be detected in the serum of an 13-month-old infant whose mother had been taking 20 mg daily of piroxicam for 4 months.[1]
Neither piroxicam nor its conjugates could be detected (<15 mcg/L) in the urine of one infant after 52 days of maternal therapy with 20 mg daily.[2]
Effects in Breastfed Infants
No adverse effects were found in the breastfed infant of a patient receiving 20 mg of piroxicam daily for 4 months starting the 9th month postpartum.[1]
Four infants 3 to 4.5 months of age remained healthy during long-term therapy of their mothers with piroxicam 20 mg daily.[2]
Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk

Oddest Meal Ever?
Tuesday, December 9, 2008
Tonight I had brussel sprouts and chicken hearts stir-fried with black bean garlic sauce and mirin with pumpkin seeds over wild long-grain rice. It had to be the most hodge-podge meal I think I ever made. It also tasted quite delicious.
Anyone else have an odd dish you threw together at the spur of the moment?

Absolutely! There are many days in our house when we just take out all the leftovers, line up all the plastic containers and half-eaten cheeses and reheat the old bread and just eat. "Clean the fridge" meals. Standing up at the counter. It can be a very romantic experience if it's done with the one you love.
Hey, you're leaving a comment! That's pretty darn cool, so thanks. If you have any questions or have found an error on the site or with a recipe, please e-mail me and I will reply as soon as possible.

A solid N&R piece on Elizabeth Edwards and ConvergeSouth. Below, Elizabeth and Susan Ladd pay attention during the first journalism session, while Ben Holder rests between scoops.
Mike Krempasky, co-founder of the conservative Red State blog, said at ConvergeSouth that he had never endorsed a Democrat, but that Brad Miller (who was seated in the crowd) should be reelected in NC-13.
I stole the idea of having everyone sing (like so many ideas for ConvergeSouth) from Dave Winer.
Hoggard led us in a (mercifully truncated) version of Nothing Could Be Finer Than To Be In Carolina In the Morning, which happens to be true. Xark: "[I]t confirmed Ed's theory that group humiliation is a bonding experience."
Something important from the last session: William Wingo said ConvergeSouth was the best bit of branding Greensboro could have hoped for today.
Below, Hoggard and Wingo, center and right on the second row.
Thanks to all who collaborated to make ConvergeSouth a success.
The session leaders, and the participants, the sponsors, and the hosts. You all made it work.
The Scobles came a long damn way. Elizabeth Edwards gave up some of her very limited downtime in the midst of a book tour. People sacrificed their weekends to make it to Greensboro. Everyone invested their time or money in something that we gave away for free.
Above, Robert and Maryam Scoble during their session.
Our youngest participant at ConvergeSouth was Ukweli Macha, age 4, pictured here with his dad, Ndesanjo.
Sandy Carmany presents the Scobles with a key to the city.
Then we had a party.
Lots of folks I expected to see were there, plus some I did not know were coming.
And then we ate, a lot.
Lenslinger shot a ConvergeSouth piece, it's supposed to run on Fox 8 during tonight's 10 o'clock newscast and should be is up on the website (click on the sidebar video link to watch).
How to get onto A&T's wireless network (pdf) if you're coming to ConvergeSouth.
How to get to the conference.
Indie Rock Mayhem podcast with Mr Sun and me, yapping about web creativity and ConvergeSouth and all kinds of stuff we sort of think we know something about...Josh was generous with his time and gently steered us in interesting directions and still got some good music into the mix...Sol and I come in around minute 33, but check out the rest of the show, too. Or just skip us and listen to the music.
Elizabeth Edwards tells the AP about the community she found online while dealing with the death of her son, Wade, and her bout with breast cancer. The best-selling author's ConvergeSouth session on building communities on the web is going to go way beyond politics, I'm guessing...
Scoble tells the NYT he learns a lot from the folks he sits next to on airplanes (big pic of him in the print edition).
And Sue gets some face time to talk about the conference on NC14.
Hoggard has the skinny on Friday night's ConvergeSouth dinner.
We have so many podcasters and vid-bloggers coming to ConvergeSouth that I'm wondering if we should make rooms available for breakout sessions on those topics...or maybe such will just spontaneously generate in the hallways and the atrium...Kind of like going to the Fiddler's Convention in Galax, where the best music is often found far from the stages, amidst the campers and trailers and trucks in the parking lots and fields.
Check out a most excellent ad for ConvergeSouth, starting about halfway through this video. You may not believe this, but we improvised the whole thing...
The unsung hero of ConvergeSouth: Sue Polinsky.
More than 200 people (and counting) are signed up for Greensboro's unconference about life online. Sue has done the more than anyone to make it all happen.
Thanks, Sue.

We are going to have to close registration at some point, but you can still sign up.
Amber Rhea and Rusty Tanton of the Georgia Podcast Network are signed up for ConvergeSouth.
Are you?
Related: The AAA crew and I shot a really goofy promo spot for the conference today...posted soon if all goes well.
Below, Luna (foreground) with the Amanda Across America team (l-r: Emily, Rob, Mario, Amanda, spiffy Ford hybrid; click to embiggen).
Dinner after ConvergeSouth with Red State co-founder Mike Krempasky for those fortunate few who sign up in time...
Thanks for the mention, Dave.
And for a lot more. I was talking last night with Paul Jones about our first GSO blog conference -- what may well have been the first local/regional event of its kind, and certainly a seminal moment in the emergence of Greensboro as a blogging hotbed -- and I found myself crediting Dave with a lot of its success. Not just because he pioneered the blogging unconference, and allowed me to grow into the role of session leader on the job, but in GSO-specific ways -- he stopped in and encouraged us to stretch and trust our attendees and do it right...and it worked really well.
And of course ConvergeSouth is a direct descendant of the BloggerCons and of the Piedmont '04 event.
Happy to see that Mike Krempasky is signed up to attend ConvergeSouth. His work at Red State should make him an asset in the community session, as should his work at Edelman. Plus, it's always interesting to meet in person folks you've only known online.
Another Philadelphian coming to ConvergeSouth is Wendy Warren, an editor at the Philadelphia Daily News.
What's the deal with Philly?
Having both the city's big papers up for sale helped focus a lot of smart folks in that area on the future of journalism, and the role of the web in that future. An email discussion group evolved around the idea of norgs, or news organizations that could thrive in this new hybridized world of print and electronic media. Some local folks, including Lex and me, joined in, along with big thinkers around the country...
...and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to share in some of the accrued wisdom in Greensboro.
Have I mentioned that the Philly Inquirer's Daniel Rubin will be helping out at ConvergeSouth?
Creativity on the web. For everyone.
Greensboro, October 14.
Smart, fun, free.
JR gives some detail and background in his column about ConvergeSouth: "The unconference will be followed by live music at Solaris and the Flying Anvil.
"The Joseph M. Bryan Foundation and the Tannenbaum-Sternberger Foundation are the two major sponsors again. (And special recognition to PayPerPost.com and Edelman for asking -- without any arm-twisting -- to be sponsors.)"
Action Greensboro is hosting a branding meeting for our fair city this afternoon. I have to be somewhere else, but I did give moderator Justin Catanoso my two cents...
One obvious point is that we need to brand ourselves on our actual strengths and attributes, not rely on some one-size-fits-all catchphrase (e.g. Greensboro Connects) that says very little about us. People won't move here or move their companies here because we have a slogan, they'll come because we are green, comfortable, well-situated, and have excellent schools.
Well, we're green, comfortable, and well-located, that's a start.
A big part of the branding job is explaining ourselves to ourselves, and coordinating efforts to become our best selves. Action Greensboro did a great job last weekend of bringing thousands of college students together downtown (an event grievously undercovered by the N&R...) We need to understand ourselves as a college town, not just a town with colleges in it. Saturday night was a good step in that direction.
Sometimes, though, I feel that Action Greensboro and the powers that be don't really get some of the things right in front of them. ConvergeSouth, for one, a homegrown event that's all about the web and creativity, draws attention of the most positive sort to the city, but is unknown to much of the city. The big plan is for ConvergeSouth to grow into something similar to SXSW. Colleges, creativity and the web, a real music scene...we could be branding ourselves in some very good ways that the branders may grasp only tangentially.
A clean, green city that values its homegrown creative culture and educates its kids as well as anyone in the land would be easy to brand. And it's within our reach, if not our grasp.
Beyond all the talk-talk-talking, ConvergeSouth will include some nuts-and-bolts how-to sessions on stuff like social networking. Here's the sked. More to come.
October 14, Greensboro.
Smart. Fun. Free.
Potato Stew made ConvergeSouth promo video. The free conference on creativity and journalism on the web will be held in Greensboro on October 14.
Thanks to Benny for reminding me of this audio clip of Elizabeth Edwards discussing the web and web communities. She is going to be a great discussion leader at ConvergeSouth.
And she's just one of the conversation starters we'll have on hand on October 14 in Greensboro. I guess some people will come for Scoble alone, and others will be there for the journalism track.
I've seen the unconference model at work, and it can produce some amazing results.
See for yourself.
A nice blurb on Elizabeth Edwards and ConvergeSouth in this morning's N&R (unposted). I guess I'd quibble over describing it as a "tech conference," because it's really a user conference for a largely non-techie group of people and journalists who want to do stuff on the web...a distinction without a difference? Maybe. But the whole point of this stuff is that it's so easy yahoos like me can do it, and I don't want to scare anyone off...
Speaking of EE's session on successful online communities, here's an example of not managing a community so well, as discussed by another of our session leaders, Robert Scoble.
And here are some thoughts on what it means for a person known best in a political context to lead an "apolitical" conversation.
A previous conversation about political diversity at web conferences. We did, of course, end up having a Nashville blog conference, which saw more political hackles raised than others I've attended...
UPDATE: Thoughts from Elizabeth Edwards.
The opening session at ConvergeSouth will be led by Elizabeth Edwards.
The topic is building web communities.
Elizabeth is a veteran of the John Edwards '04 and Kerry/Edwards campaigns, a key participant in the One America Committee community, and an author who is immersed in another kind of coummunity built around her story of illness and recovery.
This is not a political session, although of course Elizabeth is involved in politics, and it's not a book-tour event, although her experiences in that realm are relevant. This is an unconference session with Elizabeth as the leader and all conference attendees as potential participants.
Welcome, Elizabeth, we're happy to have you on board.
ConvergeSouth is a user conference for regular folks and working journalists who want to use the web. Attendance is free. It happens at NC A&T in Greensboro on October 14.
It's not the most glamorous event of the year, but it should be fun and interesting and useful.
If you need to spend a bunch of money on a Web 2.0 conference, you could go here.
If you need an invitation, well, you're invited.
This week, mayor Keith Holliday dissed the ConvergeSouth conference, a homegrown event that brings bigtime talent and attention to Greensboro, spotlights a local university, and builds on the creative energy and leadership of people from this city.
Last year, the conference included Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, ultimate blogfather Dave Winer, and Jay Rosen, one of the most respected thinkers about journalism and the web, along with hundreds of other people of the type Greensboro is so eager to attract. Even the theme was on-point: Creativity on the web for all people.
This year looks like another winner, a locally-conceived, locally-funded conference by and for the people of a creative culture. Once again our participants will stay downtown, enjoy our nightlife, and if all goes well, evangelize Greensboro as a hotbed of creativity and forward thinking.
It's free, even for City Council members. Drop on by, Keith, we'd love to see you.
October 14, Greensboro. Journalism and the web, and how to do cool stuff on the web. Free. Y'all come.
Registration for the ConvergeSouth conference opens tomorrow.
October 14, at NC A&T, Greensboro. A free unconference, with a focus on using the web and the future of journalism.
That's an exaggeration: Sue had already done some legwork.
But we sat down at M'Coul's and she asked me what I thought and I said I thought I was too busy and tired to even consider helping to throw another one of these things together for next fall and she said, Great, here's what I need you to do...
Her vision is for a Saturday conference in October, very hands on, almost Uplifterish in places.
I'm supposed to come up with ideas and people for programs.
Already this morning Ross Myers called and we discussed using the milblogging stuff he's been working on as the core of a social networking session. Not a military blogging session per se, but a broader look at creating and participating in social networks that would capitalize on the experience of milbloggers. This stuff is huge, and it was a good conversation, and without making any firm plans I said the social networking idea was at the top of my list of possibilities (and at this moment the sum total of that list).
So I'm interested in ideas for programs.
Update: It occurs to me (duh) that there is the buzziest of buzzprases out there for all the cool stuff we want to help people do and that of course is Web 2.0, so I guess branding this thing as Web 2.0 in some way would be a smart move, because even though the term is semi-annoying it covers a lot of ground we want covered. And anyway, we were country when country wasn't cool, or 2.0 before it was cool, or something, so we might as well ride that buzz.
Evil Genius releases his long-awaited film de ConvergeSouth 2005.
Worth the wait. I love the street scenes of GSO.
A charming presence at ConvergeSouth was Antonella Napolitano, who came to us from Italy via Vassar, and captioned her Flickr photos in (mostly) Italian that even this North Carolinian can translate with a little help from context and French cognates. "Il keg" was an easy one...
No doubt, whatever leadership we have shown around here is as a user community. That's something Chris Nolan nailed in her eWeek column about Greensboro.
As users, we've shown time and again that we're ahead of the curve -- from the original Piedmont Blog Conference, to Greensboro 101 and our blogging elected officials and our bloggy newspaper to ConvergeSouth.
But are there business opportunities that we've missed? Should we be creating progamming jobs and other high-tech employment? Are there VC dollars that need to be flowing our way?
As I said in a comment at Ross's site, I've been thinking about that a lot recently.
I'm a user. I'm a writer. I'm not a businessman or an economic developer. But it would be a shame for Greensboro to miss an opportunity...if the opportunity is really there.
I am pretty well plugged-in to the business and finance establishment around here. I'm listening.
Definitely worth discussing.
(link via GiT -- good comment discussion there, too.)
Which reminds me that I also need to thank Walker Sanders and his crew at the Community Foundation, who helped us put this thing together on the fly.
OK, time to plan for next year.
Also, G3head, Dave Johnson (third of three posts, software designers are so thorough), Jim Buie, Brian Leon, Mickey McLean...
...lots more, including poetry, from Billy Jones, henceforth known as The Perfesser -- he made some wise comments in a session, preceded by "I'm not a journalist but...," and another participant then referred to him as "the professor"...maybe it's the beard?
Fun moment in the Biltmore Hotel lobby -- as Randall Gregg was shooting this on his teeny lil vidcam, Dave Slusher was across the room finishing an audio spot with Amanda Congdon and Mario Librandi, while Dan Conover snapped it all on his digital camera.
He quotes our headliner, Alana Davis: "Blogging to me is the real free media. I have a lot of bitchin' to do, so I guess I'm going to have to start a blog."
At every blog con I find a hidden gem, not in the biggest room or hosted by the most famous name, just superb conversation and a sense of something learned -- Eugene Volokh's Sunday session at the first BloggerCon comes to mind, as does La Shawn Barber's faith-blogging session in Nashville. This time around, I thought Tiffany Brown stole the show with Outsider Blogging.
Also, if you want to liven up your conference, invite George Curry.
That said, there were too many other highlights to, well, highlight. I'd single out the ethics session run by Jay Rosen and Lex Alexander on the first day -- not to mention Jay's remark during another discussion, in which it was asked if blogs were up to the standards set by the pros, and he responded that the pros need to ask as well if they are up to some of the standards set by bloggers (including corrections and transparency).
Ahead of the curve: Amanda Congdon's vid-blogging session. It felt to me that many in the room were a little intimidated by video -- not just tech issues in putting on blogs, but a sense that moving pictures are to be delivered unto us by studios and corporations, not stuff we can manipulate as easily as we do words and pics and sound. I think that was why this session was so important -- a year from now, we'll look back at it and see how far we've come.
A moment of satisfaction: sitting in a room with 50 or so blissed-out geeks as Jimbo Wales talked a little wiki-lore, and realizing, wow, this is happening here, one of the more important folks in this whole revolution is preaching in Greensboro.
I hated that I was unable to stay for all of any session, because as host I had to hit them all; I loved that I was able to see at least part of every session.
Regret: Hoder being held up by US immigration. The guy is a genuine freedom fighter, but our government has trouble seeing past the fact he's from Iran. Our loss.
I also regret that I didn't get to spend more time with our visiting session leaders. I think Mike Bowen and I could have talked for hours. As always, the conversations are the thing. I enjoyed catching up on Bryn Mawr with Duncan Black, kids' birthday parties with Jay Rosen, and eating lunch outdoors with Uncle Dave, Dan Conover, Janet Edens, and The Evil Genius himself.
Choice moment: Dave Slusher sees a guy wearing an Evil Genius t-shirt. Didn't know him. A fan. Cool.
I hear the music portion went really well, too -- looking forward to blogged accounts of it, I was so tired from being nice for too days that I just went to bed after hosting my dinner last night. Which was great, too.
Prediction: Calvin Williams Jr. will be famous (for something good).
Technorati links.
Coverage from Cobb, Paul Jones, Dave Slusher, Kevin Howarth.
Too many people to thank, but let me start with all of you who came to participate in the event. Your questions and comments, your conversations during the breaks, and the energy and ideas you take away from the weekend -- that's what this was all about.
Thanks also to our session leaders and panelists, those who traveled from as far away as California and those who could walk to A&T from their houses.
And thanks many times over to Dr. Teresa Styles, Val Nieman, Sheila Whitley and everyone at A&T; Shaka Singleton, Sue Polinsky, Jay Ovittore, Ben Hwang, and the N&R folks; to our great barbecue hosts, the families Hoggard and Wharton and Gross; to our generous sponsors; and to eveyone who volunteered time and energy and money and ideas.

We have dance parties quite often in our home. Sophie, Xander and Kyle all love to turn on music videos and dance and sing along. It's really cute! But I have noticed that a lot of videos are not exactly kid-friendly. I don't want my small people to see constant twerking and hear about drugs, sex, or violence. I am a protective mama, and I want to preserve their innocence for as long as humanly possible.
So what's a mama to do when her kids want to dance? Well, in-the-know moms will simply pop in a DVD from The Gigglebellies and let the kiddies shake their groove things with no worries about inappropriate content!
About the Gigglebellies :
With whimsical song like "All The Little Raindrops" and "Imagine A Cloud," youngsters are captivated by the sights and sounds of each GiggleBellies video. Lasting only two to four minutes, the music is timed to a child's short attention span. Yet strung together a DVD of 9 or 10 music videos can last a half hour or can be started and stopped at any point. Parents are pleased the bold animation and sweet singing stimulates or soothes their child for a wake-up treat or a bedtime ritual.
Sounds pretty awesome, right? I thought so, too!
Our review :
The DVDs included all of the favorite songs that make childhood so magical, such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider", and "You Are My Sunshine", as well as plenty of new songs that are sure to become fast favorites!
The Gigglebellies are a lot of fun, featuring friendly, vibrant characters, soothing melodies, and lots of opportunities to dance and sing. My kids absolutely love these DVDs, and I love the fact that dancing and singing along helps to wear them out. We usually turn these on about an hour before bedtime, just to make sure all that excess energy that preschoolers have an abundance of is depleted.
Here's my Xander snuggling his new friend!
So if your kids love music, and love to giggle, definitely check this series out. The kiddos will have a blast and as a parent, you can have peace of mind knowing that these DVDs are fun and totally age-appropriate!

LANSING (AP) – People convicted of animal abuse would be required to register with local law enforcement and prohibited from adopting animals under legislation recently introduced in the Michigan House.
The legislation would require people convicted of animal abuse to submit their address, photograph and social security number to local law enforcement.
People would remain on the registry for five years and would be required to pay an annual fee of $250.
Another bill would prohibit animal control shelters from allowing people listed on the registry to adopt animals.

Ga. concert hall to be inspected after evacuation
ATLANTA - A century-old concert hall in downtown Atlanta is awaiting an inspection by an engineer before Saturday night's scheduled performance after fans were evacuated during a rock show.
Atlanta police say the rock band "Panic! at the Disco" was performing Friday night when the floor of The Tabernacle was deemed unsafe. A fire marshal evacuated the building shortly before 10:30 p.m.
Concert goer Boyd Gossett says fans could feel something give inside the concert hall. He said about 300 people rushed forward to the stage and then, "we felt something buckle."
The band later commented on its official Facebook page that it "broke the venue" with its floor-collapsing music.
Singer-songwriter Corey Smith is scheduled for perform at 8 p.m. Saturday.
The building opened in 1910 as a religious hall.

But I also have a glock 9mm so I am thinking of something bigger but on the other hand that glock is about 15 years old (I would be using this gun for practice and concealed carry and work armed security/law enforcement) so I am not sure which one to go for. I went into a "discount gun" store and the guy wanted $689.00 for a USED springfield xd yet I have found them anywhere NEW for $429-$479. I hate people that try to take advantage of other people. |

This was originally an April Fool's Day project (see this Youtube video) by 0verflow, and from that clip alone, I was on the floor laughing. I had expected the School Days series to be done for now unless they were planning on animating Summer Days, but I'm very intrigued by this, especially if they're going to be using all the characters in a magical girl setting. The release date is in late March 2008 (right before April Fool's Day), and MOON PHASE is reporting that it'll be out March 26th, though Sofmap's listing indicates a release on the 28th. In any case, it might be something to look forward to. |

The William - one size diaper
We love cloth diapers for their many benefits. But after speaking with many cloth-diapering parents, we realized they were still buying disposable diapers for certain occasions, such as holidays and drop-offs with grandparents.
Charlie Banana® diapers are a "2-in-1" reusable diaper system. It's a cloth diaper but with a smart front panel that gives you the option of tucking in a disposable pad for those special occasions.
With Charlie Banana® diapers, you get the best of both diaper worlds!
What makes them so special?
Charlie Banana® One Size or Size diapers are a 2-in-1 system. You can use washable inserts or disposable inserts. It's a diaper with options!
We recommend you stuff the inside with reusable inserts. However, we know there are times when you need to be able to use a disposable insert, for instance while traveling or when leaving your child with someone unaccustomed to cloth diapers.
Eco-friendly Cloth diapers - Sized versus One Size?- Some mothers prefer the sized diapers as no adjustments are needed and they always give a perfect fit.
- This is especially true for the Small size diapers. Many babies are light weight upon arrival and it is harder to fit a one size diapers as snugly as a Small Size on an underweight baby.
- We often recommend to get a couple of each size as you will use them all anyway and see what you like best, then add more of your favorite style and colour as you wish.
- Every baby is different and it is really a personal preference.
- They are both great diapers. Really!!
- Approx age - New born - 30 months
- Weight : 3 - 16kg
- Waist : 25 - 60cm
- Tigh : 11.5 - 35cm
- Rise : 30 - 40cm
- With One FREE inserts!

Bud, resplendent in a silver-tipped bootlace tie, is describing his thwarted struggle to become a member of the blue-blooded Mayflower Society. Despite tracing five generations of unimpeachable Pilgrim Father ancestry, Bud (my private candidate for ownership of the stretch Cadillac outside, the one with the Texas number plates saying "Judge") has run up against "a dragon in Plymouth, Massachusetts" and yet more research is required.
His buddy Gene can afford to be sympathetic; the product of eight generations going clear back to Myles Standish, the mainstay of the Mayflower colony, he is home and dry. These things matter in an America increasingly obsessed with its heritage. And where do I come from? "Would that be Scotland, South Dakota or Scotland, Eur'p?"
Whoever coined the term "antebellum", to describe the buildings of the Deep South that have survived the American Civil War of 1861-65, should be congratulated on a flash of genius. "Antebellum" confers classical gravitas plus a hint of southern- belle glamour, resonances altogether lacking in mundane equivalents like "pre-war" or "19th century". With more than 500 antebellum houses - sorry, "gracious homes" - surviving, Natchez is queen of the south's crinoline cities.
It owes this piece of good fortune to simple pragmatism. Before the American Civil War, Natchez boasted more millionaires than anywhere in America, save New York. Most were cotton nabobs, reaping fortunes from slave-operated plantations across the Mississippi River in Louisiana. When Confederate Mississippi seceded from the Union in 1861, Natchez saw which side its bread was buttered and quickly surrendered to the advancing Unionists, the older families throwing open their mansions for balls, garrisons and hospitals. The town was thus spared the pounding meted out over the next four years to neighbours like Oxford and Vicksburg. Natchez lives today to repeat the tale of days when porches came garnished with Corinthian columns and "being all in a bustle" meant something involving 17 yards of taffeta.
Cottoning onto the possibilities of antebellum tourism began by chance in 1932 when, during an annual open day, bad weather obliged the ladies of the Natchez Garden Club to open their houses not their grounds. The public flocked in and Natchez has never looked back. Some 35 private homes throw wide their doors during annual spring, autumn and, from this year, Christmas pilgrimages.
Sixteen of the stateliest mansions are open year round and for those seeking total immersion in the American dream of past glory, many supply bed and breakfast as well as a respectful look round. A new guide to historic properties offering accommodation in Mississippi lists no less than 33 in Natchez.
Bed and breakfast here inevitably means a four-poster and hominy grits. One of my Monmouth friends caused hilarity by ordering "a grit", difficult with maize porridge. Even when enlivened with cheese or poppy seeds, porridge may have limited allure for anyone from Scotland Eur'p. The real magic of a southern breakfast for any northerner is its reckless way with papayas and pineapples. Like fried catfish at Cock of the Walk or smoked beans at the Pig Out Inn, it all helps you realise just how far afield you are.
Breakfast at Monmouth is set out in a pavilion separated from the main house by a winding walk under pecan trees and magnolias full of flitting red cardinals and the sound of mockingbirds. Bullfrogs croaking in a distant bayou and huge oaks bearded in Spanish moss give the surroundings of this and many Natchez mansions an air of venerable melancholy.
Monmouth has been voted one of the top 10 most romantic places in the US by Glamour Magazine and USA Today. Like many Natchezian old-money stately homes, the Burn and Dunleith (which also offers b&b) included, Monmouth has been rescued by new money, in this case by a California developer with a passion for history and a wife with a penchant for interior decoration.
Now papered with French handblocked wallpaper to match the White House's, its Waterford Crystal gasoliers once again gas-lit, its furnishings buttoned to within an inch of sanity, this house and its antebellum neighbours demand complete surrender to 19th-century escapism. In my bedroom at Monmouth I count 26 peach satin bows, on drapes and bed curtains, on frilled pillows and on the owners' family photographs. It's gloriously over the top, a fantasy, but not a fossil because it's a lived-in labour of love.
Given long, lazy afternoons in wicker rockers on Natchez porches, there is plenty of time for stories. Monmouth was built in 1818 and came to fame under the later ownership of the firebrand General John Quitman, a hero of the Mexican War and secessionist Governor of Mississippi. Quitman's portrait, together with that of his 15-year-old bride Eliza, hang in the dining room, looking righteous. Eliza was a retiring sort who by all accounts might not have approved of the jolly time being had round her table by Bud, Walt, Gene and the rest of us.
Child brides seem to have been something of a Natchez speciality. Peter Little, the owner of Rosalie, married a 13-year-old heiress and sent her on her wedding day to finishing school in Baltimore. She returned seven years later having been converted (on the paddle-steamer) so wholeheartedly to Methodism that her husband was obliged to build a parsonage for all the visiting clergy who followed in her wake.
The Governor Holmes House, another historic b&b in the old Spanish quarter, is late 18th-century brick, half-timbered, vine-shaded and elegantly restrained. The yarns here are spun by the 71-year-old owner, Bob Pully, who went to school with Shirley MacLaine, started working life as a dancer with the Metropolitan Opera in New York and later worked for 33 years at the Algonquin Hotel: "I knew them all: William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Lord Olivier - when he was just Larry, of course".
Among the stateliest b&bs, Linden is American Federal in style, built around 1800 with the full-width porches that are the setting for so much of the Southern scene and a doorway copied for Gone With the Wind. Monmouth is Greek revival, the architectural craze felt appropriate to Mississippi's mid-century commitment to a new democracy. Pressed for the difference between Federal and Greek revival styles, Marguerite Guercio, Monmouth's kindly mistress of the revels, searches for a definition. "I guess Greek revival is kind of squidgier."
What nearly all antebellum homes have in common are converted slave quarters. While slaves made up half the population of Natchez in 1860, and while just over 50 per cent of today's citizens are black, the well-oiled nostalgia machine makes no more than a few token stops in acknowledgement of their contribution to the town's air of settled prosperity. Melrose, an unusually complete estate house, includes a reconstruction of a slave cabin. However, the Natchez Museum of Afro-American History and Culture is a meagre affair which largely ignores the whole painful issue in favour of home, church and school, plus a depressing account of the "slow walking and sad singing" times of the civil rights movement.
In a state which now boasts more black public officials than any other in the Union, the emphasis is on reconstruction, according to Laura Godfrey, director of PR at the Natchez Convention and Visitor Bureau. "We've righted a wrong. The South is leading the way in racial tension relief," she says.
Antebellum Natchez also had a high proportion of "free persons of colour", many of whose likenesses hang among the enchanting studio portraits of the Natchez elite on display in Stratton Chapel. Among them, elegant in lace and stiff collars, are August and Sarah Mazique, former slaves who founded their own planting dynasty and whose descendants are still prominent in Natchez business circles. Their grand house, China Grove Plantation, is another open as a b&b. The house of the free African-American barber and antebellum diarist William Johnson is also being restored.
Rummaging round historic homes is almost always done under the eagle eye of a lady who, if not a Daughter of the American Revolution, is at least likely to be a member of the First Families of Mississippi or of one of the all-powerful Garden Clubs. Many of them carry on hostessing into their nineties and even without the crinolines obligatorily, nay, enthusiastically donned during the three annual pilgrimages and city pageant, they are a formidable presence.
The guide at Longwood is visibly unimpressed with my halting efforts to translate "punkah", "spittoon" and "jalousies" for bemused French visitors. At Rosalie, I feel on safer ground with a prie-dieu, but stand firmly corrected: "It's a pray-dew".
Keeping historic Natchez tethered to correctness is a serious business. Bob Pully's predecessor went to jail for arbitrarily adding a fifth bedroom to the Governor Holmes House. And Canadians David and Fern Ross are locked in legal battle with the Natchez Board of Aldermen for painting their Orleans Street house bright blue, mauve and sulphur without consultation. How did Glen Auburn get away with blackcurrant fool, one wonders.
For, here, the past is a valuable asset, not only preserved and exhibited but reinvented as part of the trendsetting present. While downtown antique shops constantly recycle the fallout from the sales of old houses, several contemporary design companies pay royalties to the Historic Natchez Foundation for a licence to market copies of wallpapers, stucco, jewellery and furniture under the Historic Natchez Collection label.
Becalmed on its crumbling river bank, Natchez has capitalised on remaining a true backwater. Interstate 55 gives it a wide berth. Today's river barge- men mostly ignore the former haunt of iniquity that was Natchez-under- the-Hill. If you don't come here by paddleboat, the best way to arrive is to drive down the beautiful, moss-hung Natchez Trace, which is an old Indian trail and trade route that stretches as far as Nashville Tennessee.
Making it to Natchez is a bit like my Texan friends' social aspirations. As Laura Godfrey puts it: "To get here, you've got to want to be here."

I have a 30 month old son and sometimes he showers with me. Not often but kinda rare. If not he walks in on me since I leave the door unlocked because in the mornings it's just me and him home. Is this OK or I shouldn't be doing this at all since he is a boy. On another note, my 5 y/o sometimes showers with me but it is rare. Should I stop?? If your children do shower with you, what is the maximum age to stop??
by Anonymous 1January 22, 2013 at 1:13 AM
My 3 yo dd used to shower with me all the time, but now I don't even let her see me change because she has developed this weird fascination with my boobs. I'm not sure if it's normal but it makes me uncomfortable. If she wasn't weird about it I wouldn't mind showering with her.

at the age of the child wanting to touch then it should stop. mine never showered with me after they was 1. and they NEVER showered with dh at all.
I did giggle at 30 month old, 2 year old would suffice, on the topic, my dd is 60 months old and still showers with me on occasion. Usually kids will determine what they feel comfortable with.

My Oedipus Complex Lyrics
Artist: Kid Rock
I need somebody won't u help me
I need somebody won't you tell me who I am
I need somebody please please help me
I need somebody u must tell me who I am
I've been livin a lie so long it seems I've lived a life time
If u could see what I feel it would make your ghetto lood like heaven
And I believe it stems down from my family situation
I never liked my old man
I couldn't stand to be around him
Sometimes I sit all alone just starin at his picture
My heart turns to stone and I think of this
You never loved me you never held me tight
instead u shook me like a beast to wake me up at night
u tried to make me think that your ways were best
when all I was was an outlet for all your stress
Life it's the ultimate sin
A game with no rules that you're expected to win
My personal hell's hidden with a grin
"Dad take the stand and let the trial begin"
U said that oil and water don't mix though it seems cool
Keep with your own and don't fuck up our gene pool
U should've went to school like your bigger brother
but you played the fool with a different color
Runnin' ship with a whip
I tried to keep up but I kept getting tripped
Money made u so wise
how could u look thru my face and not see your own eyes
Do as i say and not as I do
but I can't cuz when I look in the mirror I see u
And oh the pain how it hurts
it was always your home and your business that came first
U said a man is as good as his word
but your mind was closed and mine never herd
They say the nut don't fall far from the tree
look at u then look at me...
U ain't nothin to me u've never been to me
And all u ever gave a damn about was money see
So now fuck u man you ain't shit to me
And it's the day that I die of this hate that I'm free
Now I know growin up son that it ain't always been easy
and I know at times I was not always there for you
We never spent much time just talkin or havin a good time
but understand growin up son I never had a dime
So I worked my ass off and I put myself thru college
and everything I have to this day u know I built it all
Oh I wish I could go back and change the years that's lost between us
I wish I could take back some of the things I said to you
Son I said I'm sorry...
Son I said I'm sorry but still u resent me so
Son I said I'm sorry and why do u resent me so
I always loved u I always cared for u
just never wanted U to go thru what I've been thru
I tried to raise my fuckin family just the best I know
and now I'm hated like the devil and for what I don't know
not finished
