The Lewis lab has had a long interest in the mechanisms of various aspects of diabetic dyslipidemia, including postprandial lipemia, High-density Lipoprotein (HDL) lowering and hypertriglyceridemia. We have also had a long standing interest in the interaction between free fatty acids and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction. Previously, we have performed animal and human mechanistic studies but are now focusing exclusively on human studies. In 2002, working in close collaboration with Dr. Khosrow Adeli (U of T), we made the novel observation that the intestine, in addition to the liver, overproduces lipoproteins in insulin resistant states. In our current CIHR-funded work, we are determining the mechanism of intestinal and hepatic lipoprotein overproduction in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. We perform integrative, physiological studies in humans, attempting to determine the regulation of intestinal and hepatic lipoprotein particle production by hormones, nutrients and pharmacological agents.

Daily Craig: More star memories
OK, so like many of you, I cringed when Joe Buck did his Rodney Dangerfield impression during the All-Star Game. I had to laugh when I saw Mets PR guy Jay Horwitz in the National League dugout.
Jay has been with the Mets for 36 years. He sets up interviews, interacts with the media, and also helps with the annual media guide. Some years ago while in Kissimmee, Larry Dierker and I were in the Astros press box when Dierker said, "Get a load of this. The best I have ever seen." He was reading the media guide aloud and was checking the stats for Mookie Wilson. According to Jay Horwitz, Mookie had 10 homers in 1984: 5 on natural grass and 5 on Astroturf. It was the best tongue-in-cheek stat ever.
Mookie, by the way, is not related to the Red Sox Mookie Betts. For me, the 1986 All-Star Game was great as four Astros were first-time stars and the game was played in the Dome. The American League won 3-2 with Roger Clemens the game MVP. As a media type, I was not supposed to get autographs. I have to admit I violated that policy in both dugouts.
As for All Stars period, I was standing behind the batting cage at Wrigley Field when Billy Williams was watching Ron Santo take his licks in the cage. Williams booed the entire at bat. He looked at me and said, "We want him to hit under game conditions." Jay Horwitz loved that story.

Braces due to come off and my teeth are still a mess. Any suggestions? (photos)
I have clear braces on and my dentist says there due to come off next month,one is still twisted and the others are all different lengths.My two front teeth we're overlapping however I still feel that one tooth could be pushed back a little.my bottom teeth are all different lengths.My dentist says she's achieved what she needs too.what are my options ?can I sort the teeth at the bottom being different lengths?Will they look better with the braces off, everyone says there straight but there not
Doctor Answers 3
Goals for Orthodontic Alignment
The objective is after orthodontic treatment is that the teeth are in ideal alignment, often times the edges of the teeth can have discrepancies that may need to be addressed by cosmetic adjustment of edges of the worn teeth. Rotations of teeth should be corrected with the clear braces. I suggest that your Dentist or Orthodontist answers any concerns you have before the completion of your orthodontic treatment.
Dissatisfied with results of your braces
If you're at the tail end of your treatment you've probably got a very good indication of what your teeth will look like once the braces come off and if things don't sit right with you and your dentist or orthodontist is not taking your concerns seriously it's wise to get a second opinion before those braces come off. Another dentist can make recommendations to help you get your smile where you want it to be. Good luck!
Web reference: http://drfrazar.com/
Express your concerns to your dentist / orthodontist before braces come off
Before your braces come off, I would express your concerns to your dentist or orthodontist. If your dentist or orthodontist does not answer your concerns, you could seek out a second opinion, preferably with an orthodontist.

Green Building in Dallas-Fort Worth
Green Homes in North Texas and Central Texas
The weather in Dallas/Fort Worth is generally warm throughout the year. Summers can be extremely hot. Severe weather is possible because the cities are sited between the notorious 'tornado alley' and the meteorologically turbulent Gulf coast, so lightning storms, hail, floods and tornados do occur, often in the spring.
According to the feds:
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is located in North Central Texas, approximately 250 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. It is near the headwaters of the Trinity River, which lie in the upper margins of the Coastal Plain. The rolling hills in the area range from 500 to 800 feet in elevation.
Again: North Central Texas (Dallas Fort Worth metropolitan area) is in climate zone 3 (See DOE Map) but it is on the cusp of the warm, humid area of the United States.

If you're looking for empirical evidence that the GOP and its "pro-life" boosters are less anti-abortion than they are anti-sex, look no further than the case of Liletta.
The new intrauterine device became available in April, and family planning clinics around the country began stocking it, often in bulk, this summer.
Liletta is everything a contraceptive should be: affordable, safe, effective, and for now—thanks to the backing of a well-known billionaire—widely accessible. Studies prove the IUD reduces rates of unplanned pregnancies, and it's been shown to decrease the number of teen abortions.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Nick Gottuso has spent his career ripping off everyone he's involved with. He's a very good liar, with sociopathic tendencies. He used Modified Mortgage Solutions as his own Ponzi Scheme. He took in hundreds of thousands of dollars, didn't pay the commission to his agents, and didn't get any results for his clients. Pam Daniels is his "VP" who worked side by side with him throughout this entire scam.
Nick Gottuso has now left people who paid him to save their homes, out on their own. He shut doors on Modified Mortgage Solutions, leaving boxes with hundreds of files of his victims across his abandonded office. There was no notice to clients or agents, just more bounced checks to his employees. He has a long history of bouncing checks and changing banks.
Nick Gottuso has now moved on to start a debt settlement company LET GO DEBT. This man has made his living from starting businesses, stealing money from clients, and moving on. LET GO DEBT will be no different. If you are approached by anyone from this company to assist you with your debt issues, or as a source of employment RUN, you will regret ever doing business with Nick Gottuso.

What about Ready Boost? 02/27/2008
This review is from: PQI 2GB MicroSD Flash Card w/S721 Card Reader Model AEA8-2032R01F1 (Blue)
It works as well as most other Flash Memory I've used.
Would not work with Windows Ready Boost on my Vista laptop. The key reason I picked pqi over Kingston was due to the fact that this memory was listed as Ready Boost compatible. Would have requested an RMA, but decided to just use it for MP3s on my phone.
Other Thoughts:
I think I'll stick with products that do what they say they can do from now on--no more pqi for me.

Author has written 10 stories for Young Justice, Batman, Superman, and Nightwing.
I LOVE to read, especially action/mystery/adventure/history, and have a steadily growing comic book collection- featuring everything from Batman to Bionicle. I've read every book at several libraries worth reading, including all of the original Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys and most of their later series, and a LOT of Trixie Belden and Tom Swift. I love to write (which is why I joined this site) and have posted a few stories on here in different areas.
I love Nightwing, Robin, Batman, Batgirl-- basically the whole Bat family. I also love sci-fi like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc, so I'll probably have a large range of titles/genres when I'm done... lol. I also enjoy classics like Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, War of the Worlds, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, etc.
Anyway, those are my thoughts, and hopefully soon I'll have a long list of stories to my credit. But if I'm ever going to get that done... I need to stop writing my profile and get back to work!

Milos stirred up the next morning to find that Ivan had actually slept over. He wasn't invited to, but whatever. Shrugging it off, Milos went to the kitchen to grab a drink and when he turned around a naked Ivan was in the living room just chilling out. As he made his way in to talk to him he noticed his morning wood was still raging. Before he could say anything Ivan had has lips wrapped around Milos' pole and his head was bobbing away. Seemed to him that having Ivan slumber party was something he should do more often.

The group is notorious for its violent anti-gay YouTube clips. In the video above, a female member of this ultranationalist organization claims to be on 'safari hunting gays and pedophiles'.
In June, the Russian government passed a law banning homosexuality and LGBT activism. According to human rights groups, this measure has fuelled violence against gays to such an extent that groups like Occupy Pedophilia, are publicly announcing to murder them.
During the past two months, several videos were posted online showing homosexuals in Russia being attacked, beaten and tortured by anti-LGBT activists. Strict policies against gay athletes during Sochi Olympics were also being planned but after global criticism, petitions and protests calling the sport event to be moved from Russia, authorities announced that there would be no discrimination against players on the basis of their sexual orientation.
WATCH: Two Female Russian Athletes Kiss On Winners Podium At The World Athletics Championships (VIDEO)
Vitaly Milonov, Russian MP responsible for the controversial anti-gay legislation told BBC that the aim of the law is to 'cleanse' Russia. According to him, societies that promote homosexuality are sick societies.
But the violent attacks on homosexuals in Russia suggest otherwise. In the video above, a homosexual man is being forced to drink urine by vigilantes. Surely this cannot be counted as a sign of a healthy society.
Although the Russian government has started to enforce the anti-LGBT law by jailing gay people, there isn't much the authorities are doing to stop the hostilities being committed by groups like 'Occupy Pedophilia.'

You already knew that there was no way John Yoo was shooting around memos authorizing interrogation techniques that amount to torture without the White House and Bush's top advisers knowing about it. Now ABC News proves it — they have Cheney officially signing off and then-Attorney General John Ashcroft asking, "Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly."
That's the kind of administration this is: John Ashcroft is the most reasonable guy in the room.

John McCain has an economic plan for this country that could only be thought up in the mind of a Republican: somehow balance the budget while cutting taxes and continuing the war. That McCain's plan should strike any reasonable person as impossible is irrelevant: all McCain or any other Republican needs to do to brush those fears away is claim that cutting taxes generates money for the government in massive, fantastical ways.
But what's particularly dangerous about McCain is that he doesn't seem to understand his own voodoo economics.
When Senator John McCain was asked here this afternoon how he plans to balance the budget, he said that he hoped to do so by stimulating economic growth and approvingly cited the example of President Ronald Reagan.
There was one thing he did not mention during his response: the deficit nearly tripled during the Reagan presidency, partly due to tax cuts and increases in military spending.
If you're going to pretend like supply-side economics work miracles, don't use the perfect counterexample as your example! You can read the full context of the episode, which happened at investment firm Bridgewater Associates, at the New York Times.

UPDATE: Hear the subject of this photo, and others in the photo essay, speak here. Read more coverage of the torch relay events by Mother Jones reporter Josh Harkinson here and here.
In a day of raucous protests and angry confrontations, human rights activists stalked the Olympic torch through the hilly streets of San Francisco in an elaborate game of cat and mouse. As planned, the torch was lit shortly after 1:00 p.m., but a phalanx of bodies clogging the streets prevented it from proceeding down the anticipated route along the downtown shoreline. Instead, a different torch was driven across town to Van Ness Avenue, a rolling artery that divides the city, where it proceeded towards the ritzy Marina District under the heavy cover of SUVs and motorcycles.

If nothing else results from the conversation America is having, however dysfunctionally, about Rev. Wright and Obama's speech, we can't help but learn to take the black church seriously as the ultra-complicated reality it truly is. It's not just about rousing gospel songs, old ladies in big hats, and ministers foaming at the mouth—all insulting sins even I have long committed.
I was raised a hard-core black Protestant and considered myself well versed in its contours, but I now find myself challenged and informed in ways I'd never expected. I never really understood the significance of the black prophetic tradition, or that it even was one. Nor did I properly understand or evaluate the schism that the modern black church's focus on prosperity, vice prophecy, represents. That history is rich and troubling. It also situates the black church at a Gladwellian tipping point; will the current controversy silence the voice of black prophecy and strident critique and replace it with a 'feel good, get rich' religiosity to which whites won't object?
From CNN this week:

At the "finish line" for the Olympic torch runners at the Embarcadero area of San Francisco today was a live band made up of five white dudes wearing leisure suits and wigs, and performing mostly 80s songs.
As hordes of folks carrying Tibetan national flags, Chinese national flags, "Free Tibet" signs, bullhorns, video cameras, and cellphones surged through the massively barricaded area, the band performed as if it were a homecoming party at a frat house. Here's a sampling of their set list, what my colleague calls the Populist Playlist for the day:
Josh HarkinsonApr. 9, 2008 6:15 PM
The outcome of today's Olympic torch relay in San Francisco could determine whether the torch will continue along its planned route—the longest in Olympic history—or be cut short due to the boisterous, disruptive protests that have accompanied it in Athens, London, and Paris. International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said the Committee's executive board will discuss on Friday whether to end the relay after this afternoon's event, which is shaping up to be a tense stand-off between police and protesters.
The City of San Francisco has called in extra law enforcement officers from the California Highway patrol and nearby suburbs, banned flights above the city and boats near the waterfront where the torch will pass, and sequestered the the flame in an undisclosed location. During the relay the city plans to encase the torch in a three-layer babooshka doll of police officers: cops on foot, cops on bikes, and cops on motorcycles. If protesters still manage to block the relay, the city will load the torch onto a boat and sail around them.
Only once crowds begin to line the route this afternoon will anyone be able to tell whether San Francisco is in for the same experience as Paris. An activist with Save Darfur in Paris told me roughly 15,000 protesters showed up for the torch relay there. Organizers in San Francisco predict half as many. Some American activists, particularly on the left, are reluctant to protest China's human rights record while the U.S. government continues to occupy Iraq and operate Gitmo. Moreover, many leaders of San Francisco's Chinese-American community (Asians comprise 30 percent of the city), see the protests as a pall on what they'd hoped would be Chinese-American community's moment in the sun. Near the start of the route this morning, protesters exchanged shouts with supporters of the Chinese government as police stood between the two groups. San Francisco was chosen as the torch's only stop in North America because of its sizable Chinese-American community, but the strength of feeling on both sides could prove to be a powder keg of a kind not seen across the Atlantic.

W.R. Grace & Co., the mining company responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Libby, Montana residents, is finally going to pay for the damage it did. Well, sort of. On Monday, the company reached a $3 billion settlement with the families of people killed and those made ill by asbestos from the company's vermiculite mine between 1963 and 1990.The problem is the effects of asbestos don't immediately present themselves, so Grace's battle with Libby residents should be far from over because future diagnoses and lawsuits are sure to arise.
But this week's settlement encompasses all future lawsuits as well, meaning current and future victims are going to get measly sums. The company isn't saying how it will calculate everyone's share but if the $3 billion were to be evenly dispersed to settle only the existing 120,000 lawsuits, each victim would receive $25,000. And that doesn't even account for the folks who will undoubtedly contract cancer and other asbestos-related diseases in the years to come. As the company's vice president told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Grace "want[s] to get on with business."
Mother Jones investigated the presence of asbestos in Eldorado Hills, CA in our May/June 2007 issue. But unlike the people in Libby, residents there only have government officials and themselves to blame.

It's been five days since authorities raided the Yearning for Zion Ranch, a compound outside Eldorado, Texas owned by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. Tipped off by a phone call from a 16-year-old girl who said she had been repeatedly "beat and hurt" by her middle-aged husband, the cops stormed Yearning for Zion and took 419 children into custody, accompanied by 139 of their mothers, into custody.
To be sure, Yearning for Zion sounds like a horror show. But is it polygamy's fault? I mean, "the principle" seems to work okay on Big Love, right? I wanted a plural marriage expert to weigh in. After an admittedly quick Internet search, I decided on John Llewellyn, a retired Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lieutenant who has been involved with a bunch of polygamy investigations. Once he started talking, though, it was clear that Llewellyn had some pretty strong opinions about plural marriage, and with good reason: He used to be a polygamist himself.
At the beginning of his career with the Salt Lake City Sheriff's Department, Llewellyn and his young family became active in Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (the Mitt Romney kind of Mormons; they will be the first to tell you that they have noting—they said NOTHING—to do with polygamy). A young single mother asked him to be her children's godfather, and somehow that turned into a request to be his second wife. To Llewellyn's surprise, his first wife acquiesced, and thus began his involvement with the Apostolic United Brethren. He quickly discovered that polygamy wasn't for him—he didn't like how it pitted women against each other. Twenty years later, he left the church with his second wife. (His original wife, he says, chose to be "the fifth wife in a more affluent family.")
Since then, Llewellyn has written several books about life in polygamist communities. These days, he's made it his mission to spread the word about the evils of plural marriage, which he calls "a barbaric custom...to accept it is like going back to the Middle Ages." And he's given up church life, too. "I don't want anything to come between me and God," he says. "If there is a God, I'll handle my own salvation. I don't need a pope or a prophet to come between me and God." I asked Lewellyn a few questions about the Yearning for Zion raid, and, uh, he didn't mince words. Q&A after the jump.

In the city that never sleeps, where the lights of Times Square blaze 24/7, electricity is at a premium for the more than 8 million New Yorkers. Yesterday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that New York City is seeking proposals for the greening of NYC. Private developers will be contracted do all the legwork to outfit city-owned buildings with solar power—by purchasing, installing, and maintaining the solar installations. Developers can choose from among 11 potential sites throughout the cities 5 boroughs.
The solar power installations will have a total capacity of two megawatts, which is more than the 1.6-megawatt Google headquarters' solar array installation—the largest corporate installation in the United States. It is estimated that Google's solar panels will generate 2.6 megawatt hours—enough to power 1,000 homes in California—and offset 3.6 million pounds of CO2 emissions per year.
New York City is just one of 25 cities chosen to participate in the Solar America Initiative, which has partnered with the Department of Energy in order to make solar energy costs competitive with those of traditional energy sources. By 2015, the city hopes to increase its solar capacity to 8.1 megawatts, more than 5 times Google's current capacity.

Barack Obama has spent a record breaking $60 million to run more than 100,000 political television ads in pursuit of the Democratic presidential nomination, a new analysis conducted for CNN shows.
In contrast, John Kerry ran a little more than 19,000 TV ads four years ago in his successful bid for the Democratic nomination, according to TNS Media Intelligence/CMAG, CNN's consultant on political television advertising spending.
Kerry wrapped up the nomination in the first week of March 2004, while there is no end in sight in the battle between Obama and Hillary Clinton for the right to be the 2008 Democratic nominee.
Clinton, who trails Obama in fundraising by about $60 million, has run just over 60,000 TV ads in her bid for the White House.
Also, it appears that Obama is making a massive, massive ad buy in Pennsylvania — three times the size of Clinton's. I guess he thinks he might as well go for the jugular: the polls show PA tightening, and if he can pull out a surprise victory there, the campaign is effectively over.
That won't stop the Clinton campaign from spinning, however. "If Senator Obama is not able to win Pennsylvania," said Howard Wolfson on a conference all today, "it will again demonstrate that he has serious problems winning the large states and serious problems closing the deal with voters." Wolfson also said it would be a "significant defeat for [Obama]" if he can't come out ahead in PA. Hard to ignore that 20-point gap from a month ago, though.

About the book
'Professional Audio and Video' introduces some of the basic technical aspects and issues of media production. It will primarily be focused on the technology that underpins audio-visual productions, namely video, TV, and radio. It is designed to be of use to students studying a variety of media subjects including audio production, videography, television production and media streaming. The book is split into three parts, Acquisition, Processing and Delivery. Within 'acquisition' the student is introduced to the processes behind audio-visual media capture and the basics of lighting. 'Processing' covers the basics on compression, (both audio and image), as well as a basic understanding of power, signals and measurement. Finally 'delivery' covers the storage and emission of media content. Where possible, processes are described and illustrated with diagrams and graphs, to explain the basic concepts that will enable students to understand how to get the best from their technical equipment.

Record numbers attend our One Big Day events
14 Oct 2014Record numbers attend our One Big Day events
Thank you to all those who came to our national events, The Big Event and One Big Days this summer. This year we reached our highest attendance figures ever - over 21,000 of you came to six events around the country!
The Big Event and our regional One Big Day events bring together a wide range of cars, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs), scooters and powered wheelchairs under one roof. Over the summer, these events were held in a series of locations, including Manchester, Exeter and Harrogate. For the first time, we held an event in Northern Ireland, The Big Event, Belfast!
Across the six events, we displayed 365 cars, 180 scooters and 120 WAVs!
To really get a feel of the vehicle, all events provided test drives for a range of cars, including those with adaptations and scooters. Over 1,400 test drives were taken over the six events, helping visitors to think about the right vehicle for them. The events gave visitors the opportunity to talk to dealers about their vehicle needs in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and Motability advisors were also on hand to provide information about the Motability Scheme and how it works.
One Big Days are a family-friendly event with many younger visitors enjoying the bouncy castle and meeting our mascot, Billy the Bear! Free hot and cold drinks were provided and there was also a chance to win an iPad mini in our prize draw.
We were pleased to get many positive comments from visitors, such as:
I would just like to congratulate you on a great show and let you know what a great day we had. The staff were very helpful and friendly even down to providing transport from the car park to the show. Inside the show was laid out very well and it was easy to get around. On entry we were given a good welcome even down to getting tokens for free drinks I would like to thank everyone who helped to make it a great success
Our One Big Day events are over for 2014, but no time to rest for us, we've already announced the date of our first 2015 event, The Big Event at EventCity, Manchester .
Look out for further news of the events, to be announced later this year. We hope to see you there.
In the meantime, don't forget that many of our dealers also hold regular events and open days across the country. You can find the nearest event to you on our Events and Exhibitions section . Also check out our Facebook pageOpens in new window where you can find lots of information on future events and give us your feedback too.

The bridge from which this photograph was taken was a "humpitty-backed" stone bridge where a pair of arches spanned the river and a smaller arch crossed the "lade". The bridge was in service from about 1840 until the new bridge was constructed in about 1954. The strange outlook is caused by the semi-damming of the Allan Water to ...Read full memory

Nominations close May 31st!
Reflections: Past WCDR board members say time on board secured long-term friendships, increased credibility, network opportunities…and it was fun!
Did you know that WCDR is administered by a board of volunteers who guide the group's activities according to the members' needs and interests?
The Board meets monthly and organizes events such as Bookapalooza, the Grants and Scholarships program, Words of the Season, RoundTable, Master Classes, Mini-Workshops and a host of writing contests—not an exhaustive list. Behind the scenes, they're creating the magic, as it were. And as it happens, the WCDR board is seeking to fill five positions in 2017. Intrigued? Awesome! Learn more about available positions and how to nominate a candidate
What past board members are saying about the experience…
I have been a member of WCDR since Marjorie Green first formed the organization. During the years that I served on the board of directors, I became keenly aware of the uniqueness of this group and the substantial amount of time required to make the magic happen. As a board member, I reached out beyond the membership to writers, editors, publishers and the like to help us through speaking, teaching and sponsorship opportunities, thereby widening my own industry network. From day one, WCDR has stood for valuing what writers do, and in addition to offering opportunities for members to benefit from workshops and courses, we also made sure (and still do) that people presenting these events were paid. As a freelancer and one of those presenters, I always appreciated that, especially in a world where what we do is so often taken for granted. Board membership enhanced my credibility, and the social and bonding aspects of interacting with like-minded individuals forged friendships that will last a lifetime. Brainstorm sessions, discussion-enriched meetings, the sharing of ideas to better the lives and passions of writers at all levels … these are what being on the board is all about. I encourage anyone who has not yet served to consider it. Oh, and did I mention it's fun? ~ Dorothea Helms
For several years Marjorie Green asked me to join her group but I would reply I was an accountant, not a writer. Then I started to write. Joined the group. Joined the board within months and have never regretted it. Those years on the board brought me mentors, friends and work opportunities—as a writer. Everyone on that initial board is still in my life in a wonderful way and they have created opportunities to meet a wider circle of people in the writing community. Last month I submitted a book proposal, by request, to an agent I met at Ruth Walker's Writescape in November, used Phil Dyer's template to refine mine and rewrote Chapter 1 after clear feedback from Annette McLeod on what didn't work. WCDR has provided a warm and supportive environment for me to grow as a writer by introducing me to those who generously share their knowledge and expertise, from Dorothea Helms (best Writing Fairy around) to Sherry Hinman (master editor) Sue Reynolds (with my best writing coming out of Sanctuary) my Nettie (who makes my words sparkle) and so many more. ~ Rosalyn Cronin
At one of my last breakfasts as president, I opened the announcements by asking everyone in the crowd who had ever been on the board to please stand up. Several people stood. Then I asked everyone who had ever volunteered in another capacity for WCDR (being a first-time reader for a contest, organizing a contest, writing for/editing the Word Weaver, running the WCDR library, etc.) to also stand up. Several more stood. Finally, I asked for anyone who had helped in even a small way—welcoming first-time attendees at the breakfast, handing out flyers, etc., to also stand, and they did. By that point, there were as many people standing as sitting, and I said to the crowd, look around. This is what makes this organization work. This is what makes speakers and attendees from Toronto and elsewhere envious of what we've got – a vibrant group of active volunteers who make it all happen. Then I asked for volunteers to run for the board, and they did. But before I became president—before it even occurred to me to put my name forward to be on the board—someone (Ruth Walker) told me I should. At first, I said no—I barely knew the organization, I didn't think I had anything to contribute, and I'd had only a few pieces published, so I didn't feel I was qualified. But she said none of that mattered and that I had a lot to contribute. Just do it (she said). We all bring different gifts to the table, whether it's knowledge from work or a hobby, connections to others, or simply a crazy dose of excitement about writing. And I did it—I submitted my name, I was accepted onto the board, and I didn't leave for five years. So if you've been thinking about running for the board—or even if you haven't—just do it! ~ Sherry Hinman, former WCDR President

Do Not Keep Up With The Joneses
Studies have repeatedly shown that, after the obvious income disparity, the biggest difference between the wealthy and the middle class is how they view money. For instance, wealthy households tend to routinely save 20% of their income. They also choose less expensive cars to buy, as well as clothes and everyday items.
The middle class, however, tend towards conspicuous consumption. It is a race to have the newest and biggest SUV, designer labels hanging in the closets, and the biggest pool in the backyard.Driving down a middle class cul-de-sac, you will see manicured lawns and shiny cars. What you do not see is the monstrous credit card debt that many of those households are swimming in, and the fact that many of those vehicles are leased.
What is wrong with leasing, you ask? Nothing, if you run a business and can use a company car as a tax deduction. However, if you are leasing a car solely because that is the only way you can afford that make of vehicle, which is a very common reason for leasing, you are making a poor financial decision.
Time For A New Way To Look At Things
Look, this is not about getting down on the middle class. Reams can be written about what the middle class contribute to society. The problem is, when you start to think about retiring and being comfortable, the spending habits of the middle class make that difficult to achieve.
Are you ready to change all that? It can take some time to change a deeply ingrained belief, but it can be done. Remind yourself everyday that your self-worth and success is in no way decided by the kind of car you drive, or the zip code you live in. Teach your children this as well. You will be giving them a lasting gift if you do.
If you are looking for some immediate ways to begin saving, experts agree the following tips are financially sound:
- Pay yourself. No matter what the amount, make sure you pay yourself first. Put this money in a savings account. You will find that the more you save, the more motivated you will become. It is human nature.
- Dine in more. Use restaurant dining as a special occasion only. If you add up the amount you have spent the last five times you went out, you will probably feel sick.
- Once a debt is paid off, do not incorporate the money you were paying into your budget. It goes in your savings account, no questions asked.
How about you all? What aspects of your attitude help you to save most effectively?

1| Y'all, I haven't worked a full week since before Christmas. First there was the New Years holiday, the next week we had snow, then the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday was last week, and we had a teacher workday this week. I was a little excited about actually having a full week next week, then realized I'll be off on Friday because I'm going on a field trip to the circus with Aniston. So, the streak continues.
2| Planning our Disney World trip may be the death of me. What was going to be a simple trip for a few days has turned into a full week of Disney fun, complete with character dining reservations every night. While I'm a Type A who needs every. little. thing planned, B is the complete opposite and would like to approach the trip with a "let's just go and have fun" attitude. Uh, no. I've got spreadsheets and lists and a schedule....and as I'm typing this, I'm almost a little embarrassed. (Almost.) I'm giving him the night we arrive and our first day in the park as free, unplanned days--no reservations, no big plans, no real schedule. (Well, there's kind of a schedule, but...)
3| In planning this trip, we've realized that people who have minivans may be on to something. But I'm not really willing to give up my car, and B isn't quite at the point of wanting to be a minivan dad, so strategic packing it is.
4| Have you tried the Walmart grocery pick up? Let me tell you, it's life changing. I hate Walmart anyway, so I was super excited when stores that weren't too far away started offering it. Our local Walmart still doesn't (sadness), but the ones in Denver and Belmont do, and we're in those areas pretty regularly. In case you're not familiar with the process, here's a quick rundown: 1) You choose your pickup date and time, 2) You order groceries online, 3) You go to the store at the appointed time, park in a designated spot, check in, and they bring your groceries out to your car. Best. Thing. Ever. Not only does it save time, it saves money, too, because there isn't an opportunity to pick up a million random things like one tends to do at Walmart or Target. I'm definitely a fan.
5| It's Friday night, I'm already in my comfy clothes, and my big plan is to catch up on Grey's and Scandal as soon as the girls go to bed. And I'm perfectly happy and content with that.

I started working at Southwest as a Math Tutor, and I've tutored elementary and high school students. I have also assisted several colleagues with standardized placement and proficiency tests and with their undergraduate and graduate courses.... I first try to figure out where each student is academically. They may not know themselves, but I make the best determination that I can with my understanding of the subject area. Next, I begin working with them to bring them up to speed with where they need to be. I explain, demonstrate, and let them practice in their coursework. I try to keep them aware of their own progress, and work with them to bring them to the point where they can master material at a sufficient pace on their own.

Whew. That's enough wacky VBScript for a while.
As I said a long, long time ago now, I came up with the idea of doing a little "wacky VBScript" quiz in order to illustrate some of the weird corner cases in language design. I want to do a long — potentially very long — series on some of the more computer sciency fundamental issues in the theory of programming languages and what "computation" means. These quirks are just the fun corner cases.
But I feel like changing gears for a bit before I get into that heavy lifting, if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor.
So for the next little while, music! No computers!
Well, ok, maybe some computers. In parts one through three, we'll build up some musical theory starting from the Ancient Greeks. In Part Four, we'll write a program that illustrates what I'm talking about. In Part Five, weird psychoacoustics!
One of my many dilletantish hobbies is playing the piano. I've got an upright at home with a lovely case and a terrible action, and it's not really in tune. I have all the equipment I need to tune it myself, I just don't have the time right now, or the temperament.
Ha ha ha ha, little piano tuner joke there. It'll become clear why that's so funny in a bit.
The ironic thing about tuning a piano is this: all pianos are out of tune. On purpose.
In fact, almost all music you've ever heard on all instruments has been deliberately out of tune.
How is that possible? Surely you'd have noticed!
To explain, we have to go way, way back to the time of Pythagoras, that mystic ancient Greek whose dour band of crazy math geeks violently suppressed information about dodecahedra and the irrationality of root two. Amongst the Pythagoreans' many fundamental discoveries in mathematics is that if you pluck tightened strings of equal tension and different lengths, the sound is most consonant — pleasing to the ear — when the ratio between the string lengths is a ratio of small whole numbers.
For instance, take a string under tension and press down on it like you would on a guitar, dividing it into two strings, one twice as long as the other. Or, equivalently, get two strings under the same tension, one twice as long as the other. If you pluck them at the same time then you get a very pleasing sound. The ratio is 1:2, and this is a "perfect octave". Find yourself a piano and hit middle C and the next higher or lower C and you'll hear what I mean. In some very strong sense the human ear hears these two tones as extremely similar. We hear it as "the same tone, only higher".
Clearly "octave" has something to do with the number eight — what exactly will become clear later.
Why it is that humans find small ratios pleasant is an interesting question that I might explore in another post. But for now, just accept that small whole number ratios sound really good.
If 1:2 sounds good, what about other small-number ratios? Doubling/halving the string length gives you an octave. What about making the string 50% longer — a ratio of 2:3? Yes, that also sounds really good. If you play C on a piano and then hit the G below it, that's a ratio of 2:3 in terms of string length (again, assuming that the strings are under the same tension, etc.)
This is the ratio used in Gregorian chants. This ratio is called a "fifth", again, for reasons which will become clear later.
We know nowadays something that the Pythagoreans did not: that what really matters is not the lengths of the strings, but the speed at which they vibrate. It just happens that a string that is twice as long vibrates half as slowly, all other things being equal, so basically the ratios are the same whether you're talking about string length or vibration frequency, they're just opposite in order.
From now on we'll talk only about ratios in terms of their vibrations per second, and stop worrying about string length. A piano has eight octaves. If the longest string had to be 128 times longer than the shortest string then you'd need a big room! Therefore we vary the thickness, weight and tension of the strings so that they can be a reasonable length and yet vibrate at the right frequency. It's the vibrations that matter. (The variance in thickness of the strings leads to practical problems with inharmonicity in the short strings, but we probably won't get into that level of detail in this series.)
Next time we'll mentally build a stringed instrument from scratch and figure out how to tune it to perfect Pythagorean pitches.

Vladimir Lenin
MacDoozle rubbed his eyes as he tried to recollect the events of this stranger-by-the-minute day, and two mentionings of it being a movie?! Thought I'd been at police academy for the last few months, not acting, he thought to himself.
"WAKE UP." startled, MacDoozle looked up to observe what seemed to be a middle-aged man who had just been working on a railway staring down at him. "I'm here for the interview..?"
"Oh, yes of course. What's your name sir?"
"Vladimir Lenin. Well that's what they call me." he stated proudly as he tucked his hands into the pockets of his grey suit.
"Is that so?" sarcastically, MacDoozle had had enough of the odd characters, he was ready to fry himself on the barbie for all he cared. But he knew well enough to stay on task and wrote the name on what were the remains of his notepad.
"Exuse me?" he looked appalled. "Didn't your folks teach you to respect your elders young lad?"
To his surprise, MacDoozle found this quite funny but played along."I'm sorry sir. Can you tell me if you witnessed the robbery?"
"Witnessed? Ha, I made the order!" this confused MacDoozle, not again he thought.
"What order?" curiosly scribbling the man's words.
"The robbery of course. Silly bankers don't know what they're causing, the wealth of the nation must be shared!" Right, MacDoozle thought to himself.
But still playing along, "So what was the plan of action?"
"Easy, just run in with a bunch of weapons, machinery, whatever you want to call it and shoot the goddam bank tellers. They never listen, so might as well."
"Uh huh," MacDoozle didn't know what to say, this guy is obviously not who he claims to be, he's not even bald! This Lenin fanatic is way too limpy to organise a robbery let alone pose as his ermm role model.
"Of course we could've gotten the Cheka to arrest them but we wanted to be quick, we were starving and the army boys were still waiting for equipment..." This is obviously getting nowhere, MacDozzle thought to himself.
"I think that's enough for now, thank you sir. You can leave your details with the officer at the door."
"Oh I'll leave me details alright." MacDoozle noticed him slowly pulling out what may be a gun from his pocket.
Nervous, he tried to remember what he'd been taught on how to deal with such situations, "Put your hands up!" he could feel his voice trembling.
"Why should I? And what are you shaking about, got the shivers have we?" the guy said almost teasingly.
"Because I'm a police officer and you have a weapon, which gives me the right to arrest you." ignoring the joke.
The guy who called himself Lenin burst out laughing, "What weapon officer?" pulling out a half melted bar of chocolate.
Embarrased, MacDoozle felt as if he was going to faint. "Well that's enough, you may leave the building."
A chocolate bar! How stupid could you get MacDoozle?! He thought about how he could've snatched it off the guy and eaten it there and then just to wipe the smile off his face whilst giving him the energy to punch him in the face. God, what a day it's been. Lifting his wrist to observe the time, it was only 10.56am the day wasn't even half over...and he wanted to ask Oldetower when lunch was served.
