Homemade gorditas stuffed with seasoned taco meat and topped with cheddar cheese, black olives, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
What's a gordita. . . you might be asking yourself? A soft flatbread taco. Taco Bell made them famous but I'd be the biggest liar in the world if I said I ever had one of theirs.
One of my steadfast life rules is if I want fast food I have to make it myself.
They cook up fast in a skillet and are best eaten warm. They're thicker than flour tortillas and kind of, sort of, like a pita. Only better. Especially when stuffed to the nines with your favorite taco fixin's.
I satisfied my intense cravings for tacos without breaking any rules. It might even be time for a new one.
Like every single taco I ever make again must be on soft, hot-from-the-griddle gordita flatbreads. I can live with that.
Homemade gorditas stuffed with seasoned taco meat and topped with cheddar cheese, black olives, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
- Add 2 cups of the flour to a bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Stir until smooth and cover with saran wrap. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the remaining 1 and 1/4 cups of flour with the salt and yeast. Add the oil but don't worry about mixing it in.
- Add this to the flour and knead by hand 2 - 3 minutes on a lightly oiled surface. Alternately you can use a stand mixer or bread machine for 2 - 3 minutes. The dough should be a little sticky - if it's too sticky knead in a little bit of flour.
- Lightly grease a bowl, add the dough, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place 1 hour.
- Then divide the dough into 8 pieces about 3 ounces each. Cover them and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes longer.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Roll each piece into a 7"- to 8"-circle or pat them out by hand.
- Cook them in the dry skillet 1 - 2 minutes per side or until they are spotted with brown spots. If you find them sticking lightly grease the pan with oil and adjust the heat as needed if they're browning too quickly or not quickly enough. You can keep them warm in a very low oven on a baking sheet. Cover with foil to keep them from drying out.
- Meanwhile cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning according to the directions on the package.
- Fill the warm gorditas with taco meat and your choice of fixin's.

The idea that the Earth was encased in ice some 650 million years ago has sparked much scientific debate in recent years. In the ongoing Snowball Earth "fight," scientists continually uncover and report new evidence that supports their respective views. Martin Kennedy, from the University of California, Riverside, has just tossed a curveball into the Snowball Earth theory with new data he reports in the December issue of GEOLOGY.
The Snowball Earth hypothesis proposes that during several profoundly cold periods of Earth's history that occurred from 750 to 600 million years ago, the ocean was covered by a thick sheet of ice. This would have had a huge impact on early life on Earth, and would have just about wiped it out entirely. Scientists generally agree that ice sheets reached low latitudes on the planet during severe glaciation, but the idea of a completely ice-covered ocean is what's being disputed.
Kennedy and his colleagues' most recent research reveals that life in the oceans during the "snowball" event basically went on as usual. This new data is difficult to reconcile with the effects on life an entirely ice-covered ocean would have imposed, and this fundamentally challenges the Snowball hypothesis.
This new evidence also supports alternative models, such as Kennedy's post-glacial release of methane from massive Clathrate destabilization that he proposed in last May's issue of GEOLOGY.
For the last six years, Kennedy has collected limestone and dolomite rocks from Precambrian glacial deposits to establish a record of carbon isotopic variation through the glacial interval. These data indicate consistent positive isotopic values from glacial rocks in northern Namibia, central Australia, and the North American Cordillera.
"The criteria was that they had to occur in a marine succession and they should not be detrital but precipitated in situ," Kennedy said. "I also wanted to have as many examples as possible to establish a global record and discount local effects or misinterpretation from a single locality. While one interval might be lacustrine, it is unlikely that all are, and since they all show roughly the same positive values then it is more likely to be a meaningful result."
His evidence shows that the carbon isotope 13C to 12C ratio was actually higher during the glaciation indicating the presence of a healthy and productive marine ecosystem. This ratio dropped only after the ice had melted and this suggests that other influences other than those proposed in the Snowball hypothesis must have been active.
"If there was no photosynthesis or life in the ocean, the carbon isotope values would be the same as the mantle," Kennedy said. "Only the presence of life causes a difference in those values. We did not find isotopic evidence that a global ice sheet impacted overall marine productivity. We would think that if an ice sheet covered the oceans, it would have had an impact on marine production or photosynthesis and we find no carbon isotopic evidence for this. The oceans just look normal."

Oh. I'm using debian-amd64 again. Now it's became more stable and really looks great. The only thing is that there's no non-free packages in the archive, so I don't have unrar-nonfree and nvidia drivers. And also not all GNOME 2.10 packages are ready for AMD64 (I guess they'll be rebuilt automatically soon), so using 2.8 with some parts from 2.10 now. Also, now AMD64 has mono packages (though they're not installable because of dependency hell at the moment).
My pitfdll package is currently unbuildable on AMD64, so I guess, I'll have to make someone other taking care of it. If you would like to take it, download it from mentors.debian.net, change maintainer field and mail me about it.
As for RL. I'm pretty busy with my study, because I have to pass all exams and also I should write my course and diploma projects. So I don't really have time for anything other. Then I'll have to think about university (now studying in college) or go to the army. I hate that.

In a local chat group, there was a discussion on LW Hive Drones (progeny of the LW) and their genetics. One participant suggested destroying the LW Drones because this trait is passed on. I must admit, I was "WOWED" . My understanding was LW was a result of lack of open brood pheromones suppressing the "anarchist." Dave Cushman speaks on this.
a paper http://www.genetics.org/content/179/3/1337.full.pdf
It is fascinating! Some things I read are contrary to my "teachings", but I am a "Grasshopper" trying to learn.
I'm not comfortable going out and doing genocide on a group of LW drones. In the big picture, I do not see this as needing my intervention. How often would this have to happen to passed on to be significant enough to be actually observed. Seems even if it was passed on, it would normally be bred back out and in a few generations. Seems to me it is part of the balance perhaps best acknowledged, but left alone. JMHO but interested in what others think/know/experience

....and so on. I'm at a loss at how IJS is being blamed for skaters wearing black. Isn't that more of a personal preference thing among skaters?
As for memorable and personality-filled programs, I remember as many boring cookie-cutter programs under 6.0 as I do under CoP. Yes, we remember the Alexei Yagudins and the Michelle Kwans and the Philippe Candeloros the most, but there were a lot of just 'crossovers-and-jumps-with token poses' programs as well. We just tend to forget them because they were boring.
In the current system if you fall on a quad you still score higher on that element than for a satisfactory triple Lutz. The scoring system encourages skaters to try tricks that they can't really do, and rewards their failures.
On the other hand, if you didn't land a quad, you were pretty much dead meat anyway.
Of course all the men used to wear variations on the tuxedo, which would rather make them look like skating waiters. Hmmm, I sense a theme restaurant here (as long as you don't mind the temps! Then again, you would probably get a lot less complaints about food being cold...all things being relative).
Let's be honest, doing quads in case of men seems to be on the edge of human possibilities. Doing 3Lz+3T or 3A seems to be something similar in case of ladies. So those elements will always remain extremely difficult and will have relatively high probability of failure. Figure skating can't advance linearly, from doubles to triples, from triples to quads and from quads to quintuples. There must be a limit somewhere there.
And it's not like before skaters did this stuff routinely, it's just that people always focus on top skaters or phenomenons. You can't make another Midori Ito unless you use genetic engineering.
It just goes to show you...there ARE no new ideas. Sigh. Another brilliant idea dashed to bits on the rocks of reality...
I'm kind of mixed on this topic. I think the men generally handle the new system well, but it is more challenging for women because we have lower muscle mass so it is difficult for ladies to perform so many transitions and do jumps and spins. COP eliminated the spiral sequence, which only impacts the women. The catchfoot requirement (to achieve higher levels) makes most of the spins look the same. COP has really made men and women programs almost identical, whereas before a well skated woman's program looked quite different than a well skated men's program, and I don't like that aspect of the scoring system.
There may be ups and downs, but I don't think the decline in popularity is largely in part due to the system itself.

Very nice flat, warm and comfortable. Nicole stayed up quite late to meet us when our flight was delayed. Thank you.
Very clean flat, perfectly functional, and nice and warm in the snow. Good location- one stop to Dom, or an ok walk. Downsides, bed had no head board, which meant the pillows moved a lot, not enough pillows, very small kitchen (but fine if you eat out the whole time). Excellent german shower in tiny bathroom. All in all, a mixed bag, but worth the money!
Very convenient to public transportation. The apartment's neighborhood is not very charming, but it was safe. the apartment was a little basic/devoid of character. Tha bathroom was small and dark. The bed was smashed up against the window and radiator. And it was difficult to situp in bed as it lacked a headboard. Yet, the apartment was clean and tidy. It was on the ground level hitch was nice as we only had to climb 4 or 5 steps.
Apartment is perfect for a couple with or without children, (we had elderly mother with us). It has good ameneties, is quiet, warm and bright. Sofabed was very comfy. Shower was very good and there is always hot water. U and S bahn really are only 1 minute walk away.Within a few minutes walk are some bakeries and a couple of Turkish supermarkets which are great for cheap fresh fruit and vegetables. Kitchen area is very small but is enough for the basics.
This is a very central, quiet, clean and bright apartment. It was the perfect place for our stay in Cologne and would suit all types of travellers.
Nice apartment to stay in. It was quiet and clean and had everything you would need for a short stay. Also everything in close walking distance, shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants etc.
Thank you.
We really enjoyed our stay in Niclole's apartment in Cologne. We meet with the apartment manager, Karlheinz, at the appointed time at the appartment and he was very friendly and showed us around the apartment. The apartment itself was very clean and tidy. Previous reviews made mention of the apartment being very bright because there weren't any curtains at the windows. Nicloe has now installed blinds at all the windows, with the ones in the bedroom being heavier. We had not problems sleeping. The location was quite and it even has a distant view of the top of Cologne Cathedral! If we were visiting Cologne again we would stay here and I would have no hesitation recommending it to family or friends. Thank you Nicole for letting us stay in your apartment.
Very nice apartment, with new decor and new devices available. The position is also good for turists who can reach the centre on foot in approximately 10 minutes.
A very quiet apartment. We enjoyed the stay in Koeln. Thanks. It was a very nice experience with Wimdu.
En general hemos estado cómodos en el apartamento. Sin embargo, hemos pasado calor, especialmente en el dormitorio. Hubiera sido bueno poder contar con algún ventilador. Nos daba miedo dejar las ventanas abiertas durante la noche porque es un bajo y pensábamos que podrían entrar. Nos resultaba insoportable dormir. Los últimos días tuvimos que dejar las ventanas abiertas desde media noche y no pasó nada pero la verdad es que yo no estaba tranquila. Habría que poner wifi. A pesar de todo, creo que el precio es alto. La próxima vez si fuera a Colonia, buscaría algo más céntrico. Pese a todo, como digo, ha sido una buena experiencia.

E-mails suggest Rahm, and maybe Obama, pushed early to spotlight Solyndra amid financial warnings; Update: Obama appointee pushed Solyndra loan — despite conflict of interest with wife's law firm
posted at 5:26 pm on October 7, 2011 by Allahpundit
We already knew that people in the White House were rushing OMB in August 2009 to approve Solyndra's half-billion-dollar loan so that The One could get his all-important green jobs/stimulus photo op at the plant. Some OMB analysts complained at the time, in fact, that the time pressure might affect the diligence with which the loan was being reviewed. Oh well. What we didn't know was who in the White House was pressuring them. Over to you, WaPo:
White House staff discussed in emails that either President Obama or his former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel were eager to help spotlight a solar company in early 2009, despite numerous internal warnings that the company could be financially unstable, according to new e-mails…
"Ron said this morning that the POTUS definitely wants to do this (orRahm definitely wants the POTUS to do this ?)," one White House staffer told an Obama scheduler on Aug. 17, 2009…
The emails also show that the Department of Energy was told by the Treasury Deparment its refinancing arrangement for the Solyndra loan in early 2011 might be improper and should be cleared with the Department of Justice…
"In February, we requested in writing that DOE seek the Department of Justice's approval of any proposed restructuring," Mary Miller, assistant secretary wrote in a August 17, 2011 memo to OMB deputy chief Jeffrey Zients. "To our knowledge that never happened."
Remember, according to a Congressional Research Service report, it was already apparent by the time the loan was approved in September 2009 that changes in the polysilicon market meant that Solyndra had lost its key competitive advantage over foreign firms. That was ignored; OMB's misgivings about being rushed were ignored; and later, according to the blockquote above, the question of whether the ill-fated loan restructuring to keep the company afloat might be illegal was also ignored. How much negligence do we need here before we can call it gross recklessness?
Update: But wait, it gets worse.
An elite Obama fundraiser hired to help oversee the administration's energy loan program pushed and prodded career Department of Energy officials to move faster in approving a loan guarantee for Solyndra, even as his wife's law firm was representing the California solar company, according to internal emails made public late Friday.
"How hard is this? What is he waiting for?" wrote Steven J. Spinner, a high-tech consultant and energy investor who raised at least $500,000 for the candidate before being appointed to a key job helping oversee the energy loan guarantee program. "I have OVP [the Office of the Vice President] and WH [the White House] breathing down my neck on this."…
The emails occurred less than two weeks after Spinner received a three-page ethics agreement in which he pledges he will "not participate in any discussion regarding any application involving [his wife's law firm] Wilson [Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati]."
Funny thing: ABC published a report about Spinner last week to which Jay Carney replied that, to the best of the White House's knowledge, Spinner had no input on the green loans program. According to today's e-mails, though, not only was Spinner evidently in contact with the White House — including Biden's office! — about Solyndra, he corresponded directly with Solyndra's VP of marketing. I can't wait for the inevitable next round of e-mails in which we find out precisely what the people in Biden's office were telling him.
Exit question: Spinner's going to make a nifty fall guy, isn't he?

Starting Position: Sit with your back firmly supported against the backrest. Adjust the seat height so that the handles are level with your shoulders or just higher than your shoulders. Grasp the handles closest to your body firmly with the thumbs clasped around the handles, palms facing one another and elbow pointed forward (do not allow the elbows to flare in or out) Keep your wrists in line with your forearms. This position shifts more of the load into the triceps and away from the shoulders. Position your feet firmly on the floor or on the footrests and brace your abdominal muscles to stabilize your body and spine. Do not press your low back into the backrest. Maintain the natural curve in your low back and avoid arching your back throughout the exercise. Pull your shoulder blades back and down. Keep these engagements throughout the exercise.
Gently exhale and slowly press up, straightening your elbows; keeping the wrists in neutral position and head aligned with your spine. Do not allow the low back to arch.
Continue pressing until your elbows are fully straight, but not locked. Pause briefly. Engage the muscles of your back to pull the handles back down towards your starting position. The elbows should bend in a slow, controlled manner while returning to their starting forward-facing position. Repeat the movement.
Exercise Variation: To increase the exercise intensity, perform the following variations:(a) Perform unilateral (one arm at a time) presses(b) Sit upright off the backrest, which will require a greater effort from your core to stabilize your trunk as you perform the press movement.This position is more comfortable and less stressful on the shoulders and more appropriate for individuals who experience some discomfort when performing traditional shoulder presses as it shifts more load into the triceps. In the overhead position, the shoulder is relatively unstable. To protect your shoulder it is important to engage your lats (back muscles) to initiate the downward movement as opposed to simply yielding to gravity. This will help stabilize your shoulder.

- About Plattsburgh
Graduate students at SUNY Plattsburgh are expected to complete clinical practicum hours at two sites, the Speech and Hearing Center and an additional off-campus site. Students select off-campus internship sites with faculty guidance and must obtain departmental approval. There is great flexibility in choosing an off-campus internship site, in terms both of location and of type of facility. This allows you to tailor your practicum experiences to best meet your professional goals and interests.
Internships can take place at a wide variety of facilities, including hospitals, public schools, private schools, rehabilitation centers, private practices, United Cerebral Palsy Associations, and early intervention sites. Students who are sure of their interests, can begin to specialize by choosing a site that deals specifically with their interest area. For students who are not clear about their future objectives the internship provides an excellent opportunity to explore a variety of areas. We are more than willing to accommodate you if you want to work in several external sites.
The center currently has affiliation agreements with over sixty facilities to allow us to place students with them. Many of our students choose to complete their internships in the area around Plattsburgh. We have close relationships with numerous local supervisors who welcome our students on a regular basis.
"Working with and evaluating patients with dysphagia has helped me apply what I have learned in class and has helped me develop a greater understanding of the evaluation and treatment of dysphagic patients. Having the opportunity to participate and observe in the videofluoroscopy of patients has been such a terrific learning experience and will be a great benefit to me in the future."
"Both my supervisor and other professionals made me feel welcome and valued... I enjoyed the variety of the caseload and the fast pace of the school day. I quickly learned the importance of classroom management and providing structure for students."
"My supervisor's style is laid back with constant positive and constructive feedback. She is very helpful when I am stuck on how to word a report, progress in therapy, etc. There is no pressure to be 100% correct all the time. It is a conducive learning experience and in just these 3 weeks, I would feel extremely comfortable working in a nursing home setting."
"I liked working with the nursery school population and treating severely impaired and special needs children. Until this experience, I had not considered working with this population. However, I found it very rewarding as well as fun."
"I have learned that I have a lot more skills than I thought I had. Everything that I have learned over the past few years tied together to make sense during this experience."
"I have welcomed [the student]'s knowledge of current educational and research findings, which she has brought with her into this setting and used to supplement her work with children."
"Your students appear to be very prepared academically."

Exactly. We might expect/predict/hope a drug to perform better than a placebo or other gold standard, but we need to be prepared for the drug to do harm. You might want to follow up both possibilities. A directional hypothesis does nothing to prepare you for the other direction. Also, experiments may not be simple, but may allow for complex outcomes (interactions) that may not be easily predicted, but you may wish to follow up either direction for the outcome.
While we are on this topic, there is discussion on the net about differences between a directional hypothesis and the use of one or two tailed tests. They don't seem to be the same thing, exactly.
Here's a fun article on one-tailed tests.
> In some cases, one must make a decision that can be defended legally. I am thinking about drug approval. In this case, the FDA wants a two-tailed test (I didn't agree wholly while I was there as I think the theory should tell you the direction), so if it's harmful, they can be very strict on future trials.

Philip Glass
born in Baltimore, MD, composed during the Contemporary period
Glass showed early musical talent both on violin and flute. He graduated from the University of Chicago at the age of 19. He enrolled at Juilliard, and had by then rejected serial techniques in favor of more conventional styles, favoring the music of Ives, Copland, and Virgil Thomson. Over the next four years he studied with Persichetti, Milhaud, and Bergsma. He then studied with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, and it was during this two-year period that he met and worked with sitar player Ravi Shankar, who introduced him to Indian music. He was intrigued by its sound and structure and attracted to Asian and Middle Eastern cultures. Eventually, he converted to Tibetan Buddhism. Glass has spoken of how greatly his 1966 visit to India influenced his thinking, both musically and spiritually.
After returning to New York in 1967, Glass struggled financially and worked as a cab driver and plumber while he developed his music. He established the Philip Glass Ensemble in the early '70s. This group consisted of seven players including keyboards, woodwinds, and amplified vocals, and eventually became immensely popular both with fans of rock and the Downtown classical scene. Glass has worked collaboratively with a number of artists, including theatre director Robert Wilson, poet Allen Ginsburg, choreographer Twyla Tharp, and filmmaker Godfrey Reggio.
Glass' monumental opera Einstein on the Beach, a collaboration with Wilson, was staged in 1976 and was his first large-scale triumph, culminating with performances at the Metropolitan Opera House. It has been described as one of the truly pivotal artworks of our time, among the most significant theatrical achievements of the entire post-World War II period. It was the first of an important trilogy of biographical operas, the other two being Satygraha (based on Gandhi's struggles in South Africa, 1980) and Akhnaten (based on the 14th century BCE Egyptian pharaoh who introduced monotheism, 1983). Other operas include Orphée and La Belle et la Bête (both based on films by Jean Cocteau), The Voyage (commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera for the 1992 anniversary of Columbus' voyage), The Fall of the House of Usher, In the Penal Colony, and Kepler. Since the early 1980s, he has devoted considerable energy to film scores, which have brought his work to even larger audiences, and have been recognized with numerous prestigious nominations and awards. Among his most notable are Koyaanisqatsi and its sequels Powaqquatsi and Naqoyqatsi (written in close collaboration with Reggio), Kundun, The Hours, and Notes on a Scandal. Glass has also written in traditional Western classical forms, including nine symphonies, five string quartets, two violin concertos, and two piano concertos. ~ Robert Cummings, Rovi

A) The veteran safety.
B) The rookie 4th string safety
It wasn't a sideline pass ... either safety had range on the middle of the field and the veteran usually is assigned the greater range if a toss up. So yeah, I say it's Rolle's fault more than the 4th string rookie's.
But you say tomato, I say beet. Shrug.
Linebackers were absolutely horrible behind an equally horrible d-line. I saw Kiwi get knocked down by a WR on a run his way. You can add Kiwi to the list of under-achievers in 2012. I don't get the Eli comment. Bradshaw is tough, I do agree he should do the Tiki.
Our linebackers suck.
Oh and Micheal Boley? Michael Boley? I told you guys last season he was playing out of his mind and that we shouldn't assume he'll double up. And for the people who lov Kiwi at linebacker....I didn't see him doing too much "funneling" sunday. He's as much a non-factor at backer as Tuck and Osi are at end.
My 5 year old son right before the kickoff of the Super Bowl 46: Dad, are the Giants gonna win?
Burier: Yes.
My 5 year old son right before the kickoff of Super Bowl 46: Do you promise?
Burier: Yes. I promise.
Did Brown really have a good game? He intercepted a poorly thrown ball and picked up a fumble caused by Hill. Right place at the right time I suppose. Well except for maybe those 2 TD's.
I think our offensive line will hold up vs the 49ers. They kept the Eagles to 0 sacks on Eli. Part of that was on Eli's superhuman pocket presence, part of it was Bennett being kept in to block all the time (which is what we got him to do). I think we will frustrate SF's defense a lot more than people realize. Eli is the most patient QB in the NFL. He's not going to force it in a bad position if he can help it.
It all comes down to whose defense shows up to play. Hopefully Tuck and Osi can wake up. JPP (and to some extent Linval) are the only ones on the d-line doing anything. Hopefully Hosley and Prince both play their A-game, so PF feels like he can send a blitzer from time to time.
Also, Alex Smith may not be Michael *****, but he can still take off if you lose contain. Osi, you're on notice...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We went to Koln with a small child and a baby and this apartment was exactly what we need!
It's near Dom, and it's served by train and U-bahn, if you decide to visit other locations.
Great location as 10/12 min to train station and Dom.
Clean and really good size for 2 people with separate lounge/dining room.
Bathroom and kitchen are small but adequate.
Small shops nearby and supermarket 10 min away if needed.
I would definitely try and stay again if in Cologne.
Very nice flat, warm and comfortable. Nicole stayed up quite late to meet us when our flight was delayed. Thank you.
Very clean flat, perfectly functional, and nice and warm in the snow. Good location- one stop to Dom, or an ok walk. Downsides, bed had no head board, which meant the pillows moved a lot, not enough pillows, very small kitchen (but fine if you eat out the whole time). Excellent german shower in tiny bathroom. All in all, a mixed bag, but worth the money!
Very convenient to public transportation. The apartment's neighborhood is not very charming, but it was safe. the apartment was a little basic/devoid of character. Tha bathroom was small and dark. The bed was smashed up against the window and radiator. And it was difficult to situp in bed as it lacked a headboard. Yet, the apartment was clean and tidy. It was on the ground level hitch was nice as we only had to climb 4 or 5 steps.
Apartment is perfect for a couple with or without children, (we had elderly mother with us). It has good ameneties, is quiet, warm and bright. Sofabed was very comfy. Shower was very good and there is always hot water. U and S bahn really are only 1 minute walk away.Within a few minutes walk are some bakeries and a couple of Turkish supermarkets which are great for cheap fresh fruit and vegetables. Kitchen area is very small but is enough for the basics.
Apartment in very good location, close to transport, shops and all the major sights of Cologne. Very clean (looks newly refurbished), with compact but well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Owner friendly and helpful. Cannot find fault, would recommend, and very good value for money. We really enjoyed our stay in Cologne, which is a beautiful city, full of friendly and helpful people.
This is a very central, quiet, clean and bright apartment. It was the perfect place for our stay in Cologne and would suit all types of travellers.
Nice apartment to stay in. It was quiet and clean and had everything you would need for a short stay. Also everything in close walking distance, shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants etc.
Thank you.

I own a 1997 Toyota 4Runner (but actually owned it since 1996). It has 240,000 miles and is a work horse! I haven't had any major issues with it and it's running on the original transmission. The biggest issue thus far was the fuel injectors at 210,000 miles (which all 6 were replaced). I love this SUV!
I agree, Toyota 4Runner is a very reliable car. I owned a 1998 4Runner for years and never had a hiccup. Replaced the rotors on them after like 50K miles and that's it.
I have a 2005 V8 Limited with 25,000 miles on it. Not a single problem. I love it. Smooth, quiet, reliable, fun to drive. I suspect I will have it for a long time.
Undoubtedly really horses instead of the machine. I have such since 2001. A unique minus more expensive insurance in simple with automobile machines

The traffic is totally chaotic and the pollution gave me a sore throat for the first day or so. I'd heard a few stories about the city being one of the worst in South America for scams, with backpackers being the prime targets. Protest marches and demonstrations are held regularly in La Paz and a few weeks previous miners had marched through the streets carrying dynamite
On the positive side, and there were quite a few positives, Bolivia was amazingly cheap and we had some delicious meals from as little as a pound. It wasn't the most picturesque of cities but I enjoyed walking through the narrow alleys and taking in the sights. Most of the ladies dress in their traditional Bolivian outfits - long skirts with numerous petticoats, shawls and often bowler hats. Shopping was also cheap and La Paz seems to have a market for everything - clothes, shoes, food, meat, fish etc etc... We stayed near the 'Witches Market' which sold all manner of touristy things as well as some seriously creepy items including animal carcasses which were pretty gross.
On our second day we took a trip to some ruins at Tiwanaka, which were an hour outside the city. The ruins weren't quite as impressive as some of the others that we had seen as they had been quite badly damaged. But I think we had seen so many ruins in the previous two weeks that we had reached saturation point!
On the third day we finished the tour and I was sad to be saying goodbye to a really nice bunch of people who had been great to travel with. That evening we had a night out on the town to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and also Ireland's near win in the rugby (any excuse really!). The match had been shown at 9am that morning and most of the Irish people that we met had been drinking since then so it was a little messy!
After a day to recover I set off at 4am the following day to catch my flight to Brazil. I was quite excited about reaching Rio de Janeiro so was totally fecked off when the flight was first delayed and then cancelled. At the time I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or get violent with the airline representatives... I soon realised (after getting a few hours sleep) that it wasn't the end of the world and I made it to Brazil the following day in one piece. The moral of the story is to NEVER fly with Bolivian airlines!! But I suppose its all part of the travelling experience...

With our fall nectar flow almost done, I've been feeding heavy syrup in several rounds. My nucs have drawn comb overhead and are backfilling it as each cell progresses, often mixed with pollen. It's quite a beautiful thing to see.
I use TBHs, and the girls are building comb like mad. Interesting though: it's brand-new comb, and it's lemon-yellow!

Halloween is just around the corner. Before you know it, the Christmas holidays will be here. This is a time of year when many families decide to record these occasions, keeping a lasting visual record. Why not add an extra level of pizzazz to your home movies?
We live in an age where a good number of North American families walk around with a movie studio in their pocket. It wasn't always this way.
Once, we had to lug around big and heavy equipment to film a movie. We had to use extra equipment to edit or watch a home movie. Do you still have boxes of 8mm and VHS home movies taking up precious real estate within your house? Now, the technology is always at our fingertips, disguised as something else. The resulting movies take up no physical space. Thanks to the rapid advancement of technology, you can instantly "film" a quick home movie with the simple act of taking your mobile out of your pocket. Or, if you want to do something a little more elaborate and create something that looks more like a movie, the required tools are at your fingertips. The results can be something quite amazing:
The above home movie was shot during the summer by my pal, and one-half of Morgan MacDougall Production, Jeff MacDougall, along with his sons and their friend. When I first saw the movie in August of this year, I was amazed by how well produced this home movie was. But I was even more amazed that this video was the result of one geek dad's creative way to save the children from boredom during the summer holiday.
As a result, I had many questions about this movie. I thought other parents would like to know how he, and the boys, went about creating it. Jeff was more than happy to provide me with some answers. Perhaps you can apply the information found within the following interview, and create some spectacular ghoultide and yuletide home movies in the coming holiday season.

On Shedding Light
I spoke with the graduate students at MICA last week about the marginalized position of illustration and cartooning in the cultural precincts of high art. I've commented on the phenomenon before. But since that time I have generated a data set and evaluated the question empirically. (A formal presentation of this material is slated for release as an essay, date uncertain. For now, you'll have to take my word on it.) I crunched numbers for leading art history departments, museums and art publishers for a recent calendar year, taking as data points each course, exhibition and publication. I got over 5000 data points.
At what rate did illustration show up? In calculation A, If the material mentioned word-image relationships, illustrations, comics, anything, I counted it. In calculation B, I kept to a stricter definition, with credit restricted to exhibitions, etc., that addressed illustration explicitly, and to some degree on its own terms.
The generous reckoning came in just below 4 percent. The stricter standard tipped the scales at under 2 percent. Such scores make plain that illustration does not rise to the level of art as measured by those tasked with defining and regulating the meaning of that term. That's an empirical reality.
Moreover, when illustration does make the paper, it's because somehow the individual case has transcended illustration.
We did a quick tour through Kant and disinterest theory, which helped to create the modern conception of an art object. The cultivation of taste requires that aesthetic judgments be free of entanglements. If I'm trying to sell you a Greek statue, my opinion on the question of its beauty is of no value. Fair enough. But a parallel difficulty emerges in the aesthetic consideration of useful things. How can we judge beauty when utility dictates form?
There are sound philosophical reasons for why illustration is a poor fit for the halls of art. To fight those arguments–let alone their cultural momentum, now two centuries and change later–is to tilt at windmills. No–worse. It is to pine for a status best unsought.
Illustration "as" Art, I concluded, is like sitting in bad seats and eating cold food at a beautiful dinner party.
So: to hell with the need to transcend illustration. Let's embrace it for what it is, a tradition of illumination, of shedding light; an ideology of nonfiction, a commitment to veracity. The cultural act of illustrating a text (or representing a body of knowledge, or giving form to a viewpoint) is an altogether different game than snapping the suspenders of the bourgeoisie.
Illustration and cartooning, the two great families of purposive (or useful) images, comprise a vast corpus of cultural material. This stuff goes unlooked at and unpondered to our detriment. I showed the students a selection of images from the visual history of Jim Crow and asked, why haven't educated people in a pluralistic society looked at these things? Because they're not art?
It sez here: we are in need of an increasingly curious and grounded view of visual culture which addresses the functional, captures the embedded, explores the vernacular, describes the technological, engages the commercial, values but contextualizes the aesthetic, and finally, identifies and interprets the visual rhetoric used in modern communication.
And so I pose the question to the Marylanders (and others perhaps): having begun the day as a heroic artist, independent, expressive, essential; having been informed in the hours following lunch that rather, you are a light-shedding illustrator, contingent, interpretive, in-relation-to:
Do you accept your demotion?

This is a subject I feel pretty passionately about. Coming from a Fine Art background where "Illustration" was used as a dirty word I have always struggled with my place in the Art Hierchy. I think our conversation in class last week really explored an issue with the way I had been thinking about Illustration. I was one of those people who said they wanted to "elevate illustration," wrongly thinking that bridging that gap to the glamour of Fine Art was what we needed to do as Illustrators. But to do that ignores the rich history of this field. Illustration is intrinsically different from Fine Art. It has different goals, applications, and concepts driving it. Illustration does not need to be Fine Art. It needs to be Illustration. Lets celebrate what makes this genre different.
It is no demotion. It is a just a different job title. And I like this job. That is why I chose it.

Demotion would imply that there is some sort of shame associated with the title of illustrator, of which prior to this class I would have perhaps winced. But, with a fundamental understanding that illustration is different from fine art, I personally found it helpful (and relieving!) that illustration should be looked at in a different manner. To understand it in terms of a visual culture is much more interesting and indicative of society and the world, (rather than fine arts self-contained nature).
I think that viewing illustration through a fine arts lens diminished the obvious accomplishments and importance that our field plays in helping a culture to not only explore its past, but as a looking glass for how it currently sees itself. There is an importance and a social responsibility to think critically and understand the ramifications of illustration, which starts with being able to talk about it in certain terms.

Many people think that "illustration" is the word only used as a "commercial" art that is used to embellish, clarify, or decorate something in a magazine and children's book. Moreover, most of the peopke see illustration field as for funtional use but don't see it as an asthetic object. It could be true that in the beginning of the history of illustration, it was all about commercial, giving information to the public. However, when illustration develops more, it becomes more than just an illustration, another form of art.
Fine art and illustration should treated as a same level form of art because they both thinking innovatively and they want to express their thoughts in their illustration and art piece. All illustration and all fine arts are resulted from skilled labor. Moreover, illustration are both enhance the work they are meant to adorn and is good enough and meaningful enough to stand alone as separate works of art. Therefore, I believe that it is the time to open up our mind and think about more of the meaning of illustration so that we don't have to think that illustration exists just to communicate with people. So, no demotion, I think it is our job that we have to create powerful illustration to make a better and stronger field.

After we talked about a hammer in last class, I've been thinking about the functionality of illustration that degrades its aesthetic value.
I've never considered a hammer as a beautiful artifact. I didn't display the tool, but put it in the storage and recognized its necessity whenever I needed to use. Definitely it's functionality make this object being forgotten and not being cherished.
If this functionality is an aspect of illustration, I think, this is our job, as illustrators, to make this kind of functional object special by having our authentic sensibility connected with consumers(publics, audiences, readers, or buyers etc.)
In my opinion, this authentic sensibility is derived from experience which is totally independent from one another. In that manner, we, as illustrators and artists, all have power over our own creation and also have control over its relationship with people.
saying illustration is demoted by its functionality is just seeing illustration exclusively with one dimension. There is aesthetic sense mingled with functionality. So illustrators have a great condition to take advantage of its practical aspect as a means to communicate with people in everyday life and to shape(or change) the cultural path of this world .

I was a little bit surprised when I acknowledged that this kind of bias exists in the United States, where the illustration industry has already been so mature. But this situation is quite the same as what I have seen when I was a printmaking major. My thoughts change quite a lot now. I feel quite excited about being an illustrator, in this so called "marginalized" field. Let's try to think about it in a positive way rather than complaining that we are marginalized. As the development of media and technology, great deal of opportunities and challenges open up to visual communicators. I kept sharing my friends the example of the interactive cell-phone application the singer-Bjork made for her new album. Collaborating with a group of visual communicators, she released ten apps for all the songs in the album. The apps are incredible combination of music, visual art, animation, technology and interactive design. I feel excited that visual communicators are developing their field. We can also find exciting examples in illustration field-this specific area in communication art field. The newspaper I worked for give the opportunity for the home illustrators to do special coverage using visual communication methods. This means illustrators have more autonomy than before.
The idea of being marginalized is a little old fashion to me, because there are plenty of things (including some alternative explorations ) that we can do. If others challenge us that our works are not art, we could proudly response that how could you arrogantly say that a thoughtful visual communication is not art!

Though there is a relatively small number of research or exhibition on illustration. There are lots of books showing and discussing it. I prefer using words like "isolated" or "categorized" rather than "marginalized" simply because the commercial nature of illustration makes it eye-catching and therefore "centered". I agree that illustration has been taken for granted in daily life. Its significance as a form of art is hided by its function—to promote something else or satirize some phenomena. The true function offers an easy way to contextualize illustration, which makes it appeal superficial. Comparatively, fine art is usually contextualized based on profound historical events, theories and social ethos, which makes it appeal transcendent. I think many scholars would prefer to study art in a serious and orthodox manner. Obviously, illustration or commercial art won't be their first choice. Since I cannot expect a self-respected scholar with a general interest in art would draw a historical timeline showing when Mickey Mouse, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Betty Boop was born. The satirization and absurdity of cartoon make it accessible only to people with special interest like animation, pop art and probably, social science. I believe that there is large number of sociologists studied on topics of relationship between commerce with consumers, and media with audiences. Illustration might fit into their research field because of functionality. I hope that the cross-boundary definition can help to contextualize illustration and give it an identity. But I also enjoy the indistinct edge between illustration and fine arts and the freedom derived from that uncertainty, which makes experimentation possible.

As Sara posted, it was indeed relieving to remove ourselves as Illustrators from the conversation of Fine Art, to claim our own context, and to validate the functionality that defines our practice. It is exhausting and demoralizing to be forever muscling our way into the Fine Art conversation, and then only if we somehow 'transcend' our field. These standards of evaluation will always find us wanting, because they were never meant for us. Illustration must be examined in the context of its own distinct history, function, and aesthetic strategies. In establishing this kind of autonomy, we are finally able to create a more accurate framework for critically examining Illustration.
That being said, I think problems arise when we sever the ties between Illustration and Fine Art too sharply. This new distinction could easily become another way to narrow the conversation about Illustration, when our goal in this MFA program is to expand it. For instance, my work has found more ready homes in galleries than in magazines. My process is one of self-reflection, although the finished pieces are narrative and communicative. Must I 'choose sides'? Is there room in this new definition, which liberates Illustration by separating it from Fine Art, to acknowledge the overlapping, the blurring, the mingling of these two practices? What do we do when this distinguishing line is tested?

Sitting in BWI, monitoring this discussion. The conversation is progressing nicely. First, please recognize that my use of the term "demotion" comes with a wink, just as "rising to the level of" should call attention to itself. As we discussed last week, if we rotate those high/low distinctions 90 degrees, maybe we can get to horizontal comparisons of this/that.
What are we after here? Jess raises quite valid concerns about the creation of a new garrison, cut off from other sources, too well-defended for its own good. Agreed! To insist upon analytical clarity is not to secede from the culture. Rather, it is to establish a position in positive terms.
Just so you know: many practitioners would be horrified by this discussion. What do you mean I'm not an artist?!?
But these exchanges aren't about people or status or qualitative judgments of any kind. We're exploring ways of discussing, of understanding, certain kinds of artifacts which operate in culture in particular ways.

It's very impressive to hear such an presentation about the role of Illustration in today's market. I do agree that Illustration exist mainly to have certain function, saying illuminate people. However, I think it can definitely be put into the category of art as well, but more as a art that is affordable to the mass audience. For me, it is totally unnecessary to distinguish fine arts and Illustration. In fact, at the very beginning of existing art, those famous pieces of fresco in the cave is something functioning similar to Illustration. They are not so much self-generated, but something to record the tool and the animal in daily life, then inform other people. Another example of the master piece in the fine art history is the Sistine Chapel fresco done by Michelangelo, which is actually a commission by Pope Julius II. All those art work are so precious because in the past, art is very far away from the normal people, most painters, sculptors and so on work for the wealth and which make art something symbolic of the high level and weathy. However, in nowadays, more and more people are educated much better than before, which means most of them has the ability to appreciate the artwork. Art, as it functions at the very beginning, is a media to convey information, either it is very private or it is for the mass audience. So I think there is not a very obvious gap between fine art and Illustration. What Illustrator cares more about is the audience. As an illustrator, I think we do have to be a good observator of the society, and a sharp view of the world. We are similar to writers, the difference is just the media. We got lines, shapes and colors, and we should use them to produce visual information to people. It is an Age of Information now, so our existence is more and more important. One thing we need to do is, try to think closer to a designer, who knows what the customers want, (sometimes even the customers don't know) . The other thing is we do have to improve our skills continuously to make our "word" more and more powerful. A hammer is needed by everyone, and it can be and adorable tool as well!

I have experience in Fine art as well as Illustration and I dare to say that fine art is one step easier than the illustration. I am not saying that it is easy, but just easier.. Illustration is based on the same standards than any other art fields and must follow the same rules and uses the same media but it has to go one step further and solve a problem, come up with a new idea within an idea and it has to be smart and be subtle about the matter at the same time.
Coming from a place that not so many people are trying to be artists and there is a huge misunderstanding among people about art (not here in the US) I have to say I can't care less about what people think of illustration. If I was supposed to think about that I would never be in an artistic field.
So I agree with Lisa and Jess and basically everyone, so far we address the problem but I don't know how we can resolve this problem or even where to start..

Great discussion, everyone. Keep it up! Slowly, the old art-prejudices are eroding. Illustrators spent too long staying out of the conversations - glad to see people standing up for what they do. Don't think of illustration as "art-minus-____", but art-PLUS-______".

The bees have some honey in the comb, but no capped honey. Under the circumstances (two weeks of rain), I'm considering putting a feeder in the hive for them, but I'm curious what more experienced beekeepers would do. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

It was such a nice holiday. the apartment was perfect, so beautiful! Hugh is an amazing man, very very friendly. When we arrived, we had a very big problem and Hugh did very thing to help us. we thank Hugh very much!
We will come back, for sure!!
First of all: Hugh was a great host. If you have any questions or problems, ask him. Hugh will always be happy to help you or to give you any recommendations.
The apartment was really large and very comfortable. From our balcony we had a nice view over Tochni. It is located in a quiet area in the middle of Tochni, a small, charming village. In the apartment you find everything you need and you desire. The apartment was very clean, beautiful, and well furnished.
Our recommendation: Tochni, especially the apartment, is defenitely worth a stay. You will enjoy it...
Lieber Hugh,
Wir durften eine wunderbare Woche in deinem traumhaft schönen Studio verbringen. Vielen Dank für den herzlichen Empfang!
Zudem ist die Insel mit ihren herzlichen Leuten auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert.
Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, im skandinavischen Stil eingerichtet und es ist alles vorhandem, was man zum täglichen Leben benötigt. Hugh ist ein zuvorkommender Gastgeber, der sehr um das Wohlergehen seiner Gäste bemüht ist. Tochni ist ein sehr schön hergererichtetes Dorf, in dem es auch einen kleinen Supermarkt und drei Tavernen gibt.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very good stay in Tochni.
High quality welcome by Hugh with so wonderful generosity.
All appartments in Dolphin House are so nicely furbished and clean.
A very good place to stay and to come back as soon as possible.
We were looking for a quiet place in Cyprus and with the Alpha Studio we found exactly what we were looking for . It was love at first glance. The apartment is tasteful furnished, equipped with all basics you need for a relaxing vacation. The apartment is a peaceful oasis within the village and located that you feel integrated into the village community. You can have very nice chats with the people from Tochni. The surrounding area is ideal to have nice hikes in whatever direction. April was a perfect time concerning the climate.
Hugh was a very charming host and always helpful for all kind of questions . Thanks a lot
Peter and Gisela
Very nice place and comfortable. The village is calm, beautiful and a good counterpart to the touristic "madness" like Limassol. Hugh is friendly and helpful, when we needed something in the apartment we got it immediately. The apartment has appropriate facilities. Tochni is good starting point to visit the whole island. Only two small shortcomings: we had the apartment with the sea view and the "view on the sea" was a little bit exaggerated (but no wonder, Tochni is about 6miles from the sea – so no reason to complain), and the kitchen had only one hotplate. But except these little points, we enjoyed the stay at Dolphins House very much.
Our stay on Cyprus was great! Hugh was a great host, and the Apha Studio was beautiful. The apartment was only a bit hard to find at night.

You're probably quite familiar with The Monster at the End of This Book, a Sesame Street classic featuring Grover. (If not, go look it up. You need a copy.) About an hour ago, Sesame Street tweeted that there was a monster "at the end of this Twitter conversation," with the similar expected conclusion. What's particularly funny to us GeekDads is Wil Wheaton's reaction to the thread. While many of us squee at getting retweeted by somebody like Wheaton, it's refreshing to know that he gets equally excited when he gets noticed by Grover.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
Here's the thread, taken from Wheaton's Twitter stream (rearranged so you can read it in order). Also, for reference, here are the four photos tweeted by Sesame Street throughout the conversation (1 2 3 4) and the image that Wheaton refers to (OWMNw.gif). (Going to the Sesame Street feed has a few more comments from Grover and two more images, but you get the idea.)

st: multicolinearity test for multiple imputed longitudinal data
st: multicolinearity test for multiple imputed longitudinal data
Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:36:57 -0400 (EDT)
Dear all,
My data has five waves and consists of five multiple imputed data sets. My
final model will be three-level random intercept logistic regression
model. I would like to test the multicolinearity of the independent
variables(most of them are dummy variables). What is a good way to get the
correlation matrix of the variables, e.g. by each wave? Or how to conduct
the multicolinearity test after fitting -mim, gllamm-model? Thanks for any
