Dear Meowmy,
Thank you for letting me fly free today. I want you to know that I appreciate all the care, food & love you gave me over the past 16 years and 10 months.
From the time I was a kitten, I was afraid of humans. Despite this, you gave me and my furmily a good, safe home. You took us to the vet and got us vaccinated and neutered. The first 15 years of my life were great—I had my mom, Belle, and my brother, Figaro, with me. We were a very happy furmily. After Belle and Figaro went to the Bridge in July 2013, I remained distant from human companionship. I got along with Antoine & Clara, but we were never buddies.
About 6 months ago, I started losing weight. I know you were worried about me, but I wouldn't let you come near me... until 5 days ago. By that point I was very skinny and getting weak. As you brought me food, you reached into my bed and pet me, and I realized how much I missed having close contact with another being. It had been almost 2 years since I had my furmily. You were so happy when I began to purr!
Three days later, you decided to try to take me to the vet. I didn't resist when you picked me up and put me in the cage. Blood tests revealed that I had an elevated white cell count, anemia, low potassium, high BUN, but normal creatinine. I was hospitalized and put on an IV-drip with an antibiotic and a potassium supplement. We were hoping that I had hyperthyroidism—a condition that is easily treated with medication. Unfortunately, my thyroid was normal. Instead, I had cancer in the intestines. The IV-fluids made me feel a lot better, but if I stopped the IV, I would quickly become dehydrated & weak again.—I could never go home and lead a quality life. So you and Dr. Jackson set me free this afternoon.
Thank you Meowmy, for everything you have done for me. I know I haven't been the friendliest cat in the world, but the last 5 days were special. I love you, Meowmy. Now I'm with Belle and Figaro again.
I've been tagged by Bo to write 7 facts about myself and then tag 7 other kitties.
1. Bo and I both have cute, smudgy noses.
2. I have a slight kink near the tip of my tail. It has been that way since my meowmy rescued me as a kitten.
3. I am scared of humans, including my meowmy. If she gets to close, I hiss at her.
4. I don't like meowmy's camera! When she points that thing at me and the red light comes on, I run! It has been awhile since meowmy got any good photos of me.
5. I like to hide in my cardboard cathouse. It's on a shelf behind some filing cabinets, where nobody can reach me and I can see out the window.
6. Figaro and I live full-time in the playroom. Occasionally meowmy used to lock our mean sisfur, Entrechat, in the bedroom and let us come upstairs to visit. But now that Dusty and Clara also live upstairs, Figgy and I don't come up to visit anymore.
7. I like to share the big kitty bed with Belle and Figaro in the cold winter. The bed is purrfect for 2 cats, but I crawl on top. Belle usually ends up on the bottom! MOL!
I tag:
I've been tagged by my handsome new friend in Germany, Jolan, to name 5 things for which I am thankful.
1. I am thankful to have a home. I wish everyone were so lucky. Miracle and her family have been displaced by a apartment fire on Nov. 16th, and we are purring for them to find a new home soon.
2. I am thankful to have a family. As you may already know from my profile, I have always been afraid of humans. But I love my mommy, Belle, and my brofur, Figaro. I also enjoy some of the other kitties in the house—especially Mathis and Antoine.
3. I am thankful for the good food here. It's so tasty that I can almost tolerate the human who brings it out. MOL!
4. I am thankful for all the kitty amenities here. There are many cozy beds to curl up in and cat poles to climb. This place is a kitty's dream!
5. I am thankful for all my beautiful Catster friends! Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and purrs to you all!
I tag:
Sir Nigel

PITTSBURGH, June 25, 2009 - The American Cable Association commented on President Barack Obama's decision today to nominate Meredith Attwell Baker to serve on the Federal Communications Commission.
"Over the next five years, Meredith Baker will play a key role in shaping the future growth of broadband Internet access across the nation, particularly in rural and sparsely populated communities where ACA members have been active for decades. We look forward to working with Meredith Baker following her Senate confirmation not only on broadband policy but also on discriminatory actions against smaller operators in the wholesale cable programming and broadcasting markets that certainly require the FCC's prompt attention," said ACA President and CEO Matthew M. Polka.

People, It Has Happened!!!! The new one from Phillips&Driver is now officially released. Just in time for the holiday season. The season where you buy stuff. New stuff. Well, this is new. You might just want to buy it. Because it's chock-full of songs that you don't know. And I think you're going to like them. This is disco disco disco and then a couple of introspective love songs where we bring it down a little and then right back up into the relentless thump thump thump of the four on the floor! Who doesn't love to hear such stuff? Huh? It's in our blood. It's the music of our people. And Dave and I wrote some new songs to add to the canon.
And here is the best news, we put this baby out on vinyl. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about, purple vinyl. It's kindof lavender, but also really more like purple. But you get the picture. Now actually hold the precious object in your hands! Every LP comes with a download card, so you don't have to digitalize each track, we've done that for you. You can just put this baby onto your turntable and get your gay (or gay friendly) party started. I love this record. Big shout-out to Aimee Norwich who brilliantly produced it. She put the flesh and the muscle and the hair onto the bare bones. And another huge shout-out to Scott Anthony at the Viewing Room who mastered it. This is my third project with Scott and I really love working with him.
So, how do you go about getting this release, you may ask? It's available on iTunes, Amazon, via my eStore at TheConnextion, all of the usual suspects for downloading music. And if you want to buy the gorgeous vinyl you can hold in your hand and treasure for a lifetime, that is available thru my eStore at TheConnextion. And people, this thing is not an expensive purchase. It's ridiculously affordable. Why? Because I'm nostalgic. When I was young I tended to spend about $6 on new vinyl and sometimes I went way out on a limb and bought it for $10. I have never gotten over those prices. That's how much this stuff costs in my mind. So, due to the fact that I'm living in the past, you don't actually have to pay current prices today. $10 for the LP. On purple vinyl. Gorgeous art by Dave. Here's the inspiration:
So, what are you waiting for? You don't even have to move from this very device that you're using to read this blog. Technology today is incredible. You used to have to drive to the record store. Now you can just sit on your ass and download this puppy, or order the LP and start dancing and singing along. We want you to enjoy our original disco anthems. We're very pleased with what we have to offer you this holiday season.

City Council votes to allow demolition of 100-year-old building despite historic commission's recommendation
EL PASO, Texas - (Nov. 2012 story)
City Council voted 6-0 today to grant an appeal to allow the demolition of Downtown El Paso's 100-year old John T. Muir building, which was designed by Henry Trost, one of the Southwest's premiere architects.
The decision reverses an earlier unanimous decision by the Historic Landmark Commission to deny the application for demolition.
The debate lasted nearly two hours and included passionate pleas from the great nephew and niece of Trost, who designed more than 200 buildings in El Paso, more than in any other city.
"It's a sad day for our family," said Henry Trost, the great nephew of Trost, who lives in Santa Teresa. "And it's a sad day for El Paso as well."
City Rep. Cortney Niland said her decision not to save the building was based on three factors.
"It is not on the historic register," Niland said. "It's a non-contributing historic building and it has been irreparably altered."
The applicant was Borderplex Community Trust, a group of 200 different investors, which owns more than 800,000 square feet of space Downtown.
Borderplex would not disclose its future plans for the site, which is located at 230 and 218 to 222 North Mesa, adjacent to San Jacinto Plaza.

Clifford Olson, one of Canada's most notorious serial killers, has been denied parole for the second time in four years and says he won't try again to win his freedom.
The National Parole Board announced its decision in a one-hour hearing Tuesday at Canada's highest-security institution, in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Que.
"This is the final time; never again," said Olson, 70.
As he left the room, he declared, "And, I'm out."
Olson is serving 11 concurrent life sentences for the murders of eight girls and three boys in B.C.'s Lower Mainland in the early 1980s. The victims were between the ages of nine and 18.
Olson would reoffend: parole officer
The board agreed with a Correctional Services Canada assessment that Olson is too dangerous to be released.

King spoke to the media following Olson's parole hearing on Tuesday. (Graham Hughes/Canadian Press) Olson's caseworkers told the parole board Tuesday that he has shown no progress since he last sought parole in 2006.
They presented a psychological assessment describing him as a narcissistic, anti-social, psychopath and pedophile who continues to show no remorse for his crimes.
The board was told he has refused to work with mental health professionals or participate in other forms of rehabilitation.
"If he was to reoffend, it would be in a violent manner," said parole officer Geneviève Theriault.
Before the decision was announced, Olson told the board he didn't expect parole, but was exercising his right to a hearing.
"I'm here because I have a right to appear," he said. "I'm not asking the board for parole, because I know I'm going to be turned down."
Olson gave the board an affidavit stating he would no longer participate in any future parole hearings.
Board officials said the affidavit means little as Olson can change his mind in two years when his right to an eligibility hearing comes up again.
Families still haunted by murders
Relatives of Olson's victims filled the hearing room, with many travelling from as far away as British Columbia, where the crimes took place.
In their victim impact statements, they told the board that they continue to be affected by what Olson did.

The serial killer was denied parole Tuesday.Clifford Olson leaves the provincial courthouse in Chilliwack, B.C., on Aug. 8, 1981. The serial killer was denied parole Tuesday. (Nick Didlick/Canadian Press-UPC) Sharon Rosenfeldt, whose 16-year-old son, Daryn Johnsrude, was sexually assaulted and killed, told the board Olson does not deserve a chance at freedom.
She said the only thing more bizarre than Olson's antics is the system that gives him a right to a parole hearing.
At his last parole hearing in 2006, officials declared Olson presented a "clear and present danger" to the public and agreed with correctional staff that he would surely murder again if released.
A hearing two years ago was abruptly cancelled.
The federal government reintroduced legislation in 2010 that would make it tougher for multiple murderers to get parole.
But murder cases that happened before the legislation aren't affected.
Journalist helps Olson during hearing
In a bizarre twist, Toronto Sun columnist Peter Worthington acted as Olson's assistant Tuesday, passing documents to the convicted serial killer.
Worthington made a statement at the hearing that he had agreed to undertake the job at Olson's request. The two have been communicating for more than 20 years.
Worthington said if it were up to him, Olson would have faced execution for his crimes.

Authors: Paul J. Werbos
This paper proposes a method for the axiomatic quantization of field theories defined by a Lagrangian of the form L(ϕ, ∇ϕ, ∂tϕ) , where ϕ is a mathematical vector field typically made up of scalars, covariant vectors, tensors and so on. It reviews basic challenges in the axiomatic formulation of quantum field theory, in quantizing "soliton models" which arise in grand unification and in phenomenological nuclear physics, and unresolved issues regarding mass normalization and the radius of the electron. It proposes a new fundamental theorem (conjecture) for spectra and bound states of bosonic field theories, exploiting the Glauber-Sudarshan P representation, and suggests how this might later be extended to solve the problem of choice (ill-definedness) in the S matrix in traditional formulations of quantum theory. The Appendix provides an extension of the P representation to perform quantization into the four dimensional Fock-Hilbert space as in the formalism of Streater and Wightman, a formalism which may possibly imply dynamics which are credible but different from the canonical version of quantum field theory.

Made our trip to Orlando so much easier - no wasted time at the grocery store.
I have already recommended this service to a friend! Garden Grocer was a time saver for my family of 5's first trip to Walt Disney World. Groceries were delivered directly to my room within the time frame I asked for - allowing us more time in the parks!! The website was easy to navigate and offered items that we use at home. I will absolutely use Garden Grocer again.
Above and beyond - lived up to the hype and more!

Convenient to Little Rock, Conway & Memphis. Close to Lacey's Marina, Narrows & Cove Creek Recreation Areas. Boat ramp in subdivision.

Debbi grew up in the Arkansas delta town of West Helena and comes from a big family of hard-working farmers. She lived in Little Rock for 18 years, but finally left a career as a physician recruiter to stay home with her daughter, Rachel. She found her calling in life when she began to sell real estate after moving to the Greers Ferry Lake area in 2000. She has a firm commitment to helping her clients find the property that is perfect for them and works diligently to find that match.
Her expertise is with waterfront and water view properties, but she also enjoys selling acreage. Her enthusiasm and love for the area come from many years of visiting Greers Ferry Lake during summer vacations and living on the lake for fourteen years. Her integrity, strong work ethic and tenacity have helped her build a reputation that keeps her clients coming back. Her goal is to provide a stress-free, smooth transaction, and she strives for complete client satisfaction through superior service & strict confidentiality.
Her belief in home ownership even extends beyond Greers Ferry. She has traveled with her church to Haiti and Guatemala to help build houses and churches, and finds great reward in handing a key over to a family thankful to have a warm, dry place to live.
Debbi enjoys hiking, backpacking and skydiving. With hard training and a strong commitment, she has earned her A & B licenses in two years and has almost completed her requirements for her C license.
Debbi's dream has always been to live in the Ozark Mountains. Now she wants to help you achieve that dream also.

There have been plenty poems written about coming to a fork in the road and having to decide which way to go. Some of them are pretty long too, which adds suspense because the longer the poet stands in the middle of the road there thinking "do I go left or do I go right?" the more of a chance there is that he could get hit by a car.
But don't worry! Today's lesson here at the Sean Adams University of Business Management Development Leadership isn't about roads or poets; it's about making important decisions. Specifically, when you're at work and you need to decide between writing something with a pen, a pencil, or a computer keyboard. Here's a comprehensive "cheat-sheet" about which writing implements to use in a variety of common office scenarios:
- Typing: computer keyboard
- Signing something: pen
- Signing something on behalf of a robot employee: computer keyboard
- Doing math on a notepad: pencil (in case you make mistakes)
- Doing math on a notepad in front of a beautiful woman: pen (shows confidence)
- Writing on the whiteboard: trick question! There are special markers for that!
- Writing on the whiteboard of your enemy: pen
- Composing an email: computer keyboard
- Decomposing a computer email: compost bin
- Eating noodles when there aren't chopsticks available: pen and pencil together
- Pointing at something when there are no fingers available: Trick question! You need fingers for all three, so you're kind of up a creek on this one.
- Writing your girlfriend's name on your desk: pen :)
- Writing your girlfriend's name on your desk when she's been getting a lot of calls from some guy named "Jake" who's definitely not her brother: pencil :(
- Dotting your i's: pen
- Crossing your t's: pen
- Shading your r's: pencil
- Rendering your k's defenseless: any writing implement will do, as long as you have that look in your eye!
Those are some of the most common situations where you'll have to choose between a pen, a pencil, and a computer keyboard, but of course, others will arise. So, if you need my assistance making a decision, just let me know in the comments.

Photos of how Hoi An, Vietnam Lights up the night
Hoi An, at night, is a magical place that I would love to experience again.

Ok so I went to that website earlier today, and was lucky enough to get 2 beta keys. I used one, but I have 1 extra left that I don't need.
I would give it away for free, but there is actually something I need.
I have an xbox360 and my live subscription ran out.
If anyone has a 1 or 2 month trial code(these come free with some games, like GTAIV and Gears of War 2) and they are willing to trade it for my extra beta key, that would be great.
If this is against the rules or whatever, I'm sorry, I didn't know.
I just really hate to waste my extra Beta Key since I know so many people want one, and an xbox live trial code in return isnt much to ask for since they come for FREE with certain games. So if you happen to have an xbox live trial code and dont need it, I will trade you my extra Champions Online Beta Key.

President Karzai of Afghanistan is endeavoring to rally support for a national reconciliation effort and, as a first step, summoned a Loya Jirga meeting of important Afghans to sit down and discuss ways of enticing the Taliban to halt their policies of death and destruction. As he began speaking to the 1600 delegates, rockets zoomed into the compound and set off explosions. Karzai told the group to "sit down, nothing will happen." and went on for the nth time explaining how his government wants to include all those who seek peace. Abdullah Abdullah, who opposed Karzai in the last presidential election, was not in attendance because he believes the delegates are simply stooges who will do the bidding of the president and do not really represent a cross section of the population. The Taliban did take credit for firing rockets and said three suicide bombers also blew themselves up, apparently without killing anyone other than themselves.
In a symbolic moment, President Karzai left the meeting after finishing his speech. He was in a convoy of armored vehicles which were being protected by US helicopters hovering above them. We can assume that delegates will not have available such protection, but will have to handle the Taliban all by themselves. In most countries of the world there are boring days, but in Afghanistan there are always bombing days.

If a voter who has registered prior to an election day is challenged because the voter's name does not appear on the polling place roster of the precinct in which the voter desires to vote, the voter may register on that election day by following the election day registration procedures in parts 8200.1100 to 8200.9300 and 8220.0300 to 8220.4800. Or, if it appears upon examination that the voter's name was erroneously omitted from the roster, the voter must be permitted to vote in the precinct after completing the required name and address information and signing the oath on the polling place roster. The judges shall note on the list that the voter was permitted to vote pursuant to instructions from the county auditor and two judges shall initial the entry.

Village's Architecture Protects Elderly Residents From Themselves [Pics]
The village of Hogeweyk is a self-contained little town designed for people with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Safety and security is a key factor when it comes to caring for people suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease because people suffering from these diseases have a tendency to roam and experience memory loss, putting themselves at risk.
To help keep sufferers of dementia or Alzheimer's safe and protected while enabling them to maintain a sense of normality in their lives, the small Dutch village of Hogeweyk in the Netherlands was designed to be a self-contained town for patients.
The village, dubbed as Dementiavillage, is a gated and fenced off community with shops, cafés, supermarkets, restaurants, and even a movie theater. It has apartments surrounding a courtyard with ponds, fountains, flowers, and benches. The village is designed to allow its residents to roam around freely without endangering themselves.
The town is home to over 150 men and women suffering from dementia. An apartment is shared by 6 to 8 patients. Nurses and caregivers work as "villagers" and are dressed in street clothes. They assist the residents with their needs, but the residents are allowed to shop and help out in meals as well.
The village was the idea of Yvonne van Amerongen, a caregiver who worked with memory patients, and was designed by Dutch architects Molenaar&Bol&VanDillen. The living center opened in 2009.

In the first of two practices on Friday, the Trojans focused in on the mental side of the game.
In the first of two practices on Friday, the Trojans focused in on the mental side of the game.
- Reversing the usual two-a-day routine, head coach Steve Sarkisian used the morning practice to work on specific scenarios like
game-winning field goals and offensive drives in the final seconds of a
game, and will use the night practice as a more physical workout.
- Sarkisian said elements of practice will start to look a lot like a real game as the Trojans enter the heart of Fall Camp. "Everything we do is really specific in what we are trying to accomplish," he said. "We're not just running plays anymore. There are going to be scrimmage aspects that will start to really bring the game together for the team."
- Slowly but surely through the first several weeks of Fall Camp the offensive line has come together. While Sarkisian says they haven't reached perfection yet, he's been impressed with the improved communication of the unit and the tremendous leadership of center Max Tuerk and offensive tackle Chad Wheeler. The head coach explained that the lingering injuries of Jordan Simmons, Aundrey Walker and Nico Falah have prevented the line from performing at optimal capacity.
- With more experience under his belt, Tuerk can see the difference that hundreds of snaps to quarterback Cody Kessler have made. "I feel a lot more comfortable. We've taken a lot more reps and now I definitely feel more comfortable than I did."
- While Kessler is responsible for orchestrating his receivers and running backs, Tuerk's role is to be the quarterback of the offensive line. Learning to thrive in his new position has meant embracing the challenges of an uptempo offense. "You just gotta hustle. You've got to be thinking at all times and you just have to run up to the line and get the call in from the sidelines and make your calls as fast as possible."
- Overall, Tuerk is encouraged by the state of his line with two weeks to go before the first game. "It's looking pretty good right now," Tuerk said. "Obviously we have a lot to improve on. We can still get better every day. I think right now as an offensive line we're working well together and we're a really close group."
- Offensive tackle Zach Banner agrees with his fellow lineman but knows there is still work to be done for him and the entire offensive line to be ready for game day. "I feel like I'm getting better every single day because pressure is put on me every single day. I love every minute of it and I know that that's what it takes to make me better, to make our offensive line better and ultimately to make our team better. It starts with the offensive line, it starts with us."
- While Banner says that physically the offensive line feels prepared to handle the new fast-paced system, the biggest challenge is mental. "You've just got to study a little more. You need to know your role much faster than most other offensive lines do. We don't take all that time. It's now, now, now."
- Thursday was an off day for the Trojans as they took official team pictures before heading off for an afternoon of bowling and arcade games. But even on off days, the team is always ready to compete. "We like to rejuvenate them," said Sarkisian. "We like to come together as a team and have fun, but also be competitive. At first they were kind of tired but when pop-a-shot basketball and bowling started, the guys were trying to rip each other's throats out. These guys are ultra-competitive. They love battling with one another, but that's a great trait. We look for guys who are true competitors, no matter what we're doing. And I think we have a football team full of those players."
- Here is Coach Sarkisian after Friday morning's practice...

A Spruced Up Investment PageBy
For many of us, investing has become more than a spare-time indulgence. We need to plan carefully to send our kids to college and to finance our retirement. The massive sums flowing into mutual funds underscores this new era in personal investment. No wonder seven of the books on the BUSINESS WEEK list of business best-sellers offer investment advice. One of them, The Beardstown Ladies' Common-Sense Investment Guide, has been there since we started the list in April, 1995. The Beardstown ladies' message: You don't need to be a Wall Street whiz to succeed as an investor.
We agree. In fact, BUSINESS WEEK has long provided its readers with a wealth of investment information, from weekly personal-finance stories to our twice-a-year "Where to Invest" issues. We also offer a weekly page of key information, called the Investment Figures of the Week. The page offers a host of indexes, ratios, and performance measures designed to help you make sense of the daily gyrations of markets around the world.
This week, we are introducing an improved version of this page. With the help of Bloomberg Financial Markets and Morningstar Inc., Senior Writer Jeffrey M. Laderman supervised an effort that makes the page more timely and more analytical. Bloomberg's most prominent contributions are two tables: One compares the aftertax yields of municipal bonds with Treasury securities. The other tracks the flow of money in and out of specific stocks to spot potential rebounds or declines. We have also added the Bloomberg Information Age index, which tracks 100 stocks in the information business. With Morningstar's help, we have added more mutual funds to the weekly tabulation and made it easier for you to spot the leaders and laggards in different categories.
When the stock market is focused on earnings, as it is now, a new feature provided by First Call Corp. will help you read the trends. At the point in the quarterly earnings cycle when companies are reporting their earnings, the First Call reading will tell you by how much earnings for companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index are exceeding analysts' extimates. For other points in the cycle, First Call will tell you by how much analysts are changing their estimates.
If you are a regular follower of our previous Investment Figures of the Week page, you may want more information on the statistics and how to interpret them. Jeff provides a detailed explanation in this week's Finance section. Copies are available free if you write to us. You can also get the explanation by simply sending an E-mail note to the address on the page. Alternatively, you can check out BUSINESS WEEK Online at America Online or go to our Web site--www.businessweek.com. I hope you find our new page valuable.

The race is expected to come down to a sprint finish with six loops around Civic Center Park, a green oasis in the heart of Downtown Denver. Spectators will cheer from a free party in the center of the park, while racers zoom by around them. Festivities will begin at 10 a.m. with concerts by local and national bands, nearly 20 gourmet food trucks, beer booths, bicycle demonstrations, exclusive race-day merchandise, and family fun. Riders are expected to cross the finish line at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Broadway directly in front of the gold-plated dome of the Colorado State Capitol, with an awards ceremony immediately after.
"Denver has never hosted a free, world-class sporting event of this caliber," states Richard Scharf, president & CEO of VISIT DENVER, The Convention & Visitors Bureau. "We will have live music, entertainment, and some of the great heroes of international cycling – all for free," he said. Scharf said that visitors are encouraged to be green and access Civic Center Park by light rail or bus, some of which will be running special routes to accommodate the event. There will also be bike valet by the Webb Municipal Building along with additional lock-up areas, and since the race is on a Sunday, all surrounding on-street parking is free.
This event continues the grand sports tradition of Civic Center Park, which has already hosted two Super Bowl victory parties, two Stanley Cup victory parties, the 2011 Big Air ski and snowboard jumping event and an Indy-style car racing Grand Prix. In addition to the Capitol, the beautiful park is flanked by three of the city's architectural icons: the Denver Public Library, designed by London architect Michael Graves; the fortress-like original Denver Art Museum designed by Gio Ponti of Milan, Italy; and the other, the museum's critically acclaimed new Hamilton Building, the first structure in the U.S. designed by internationally famous architect Daniel Libeskind.
Limited road closures are expected to impact Denver streets on Sunday, August 28 for the race finish. Rolling closures are expected as the cyclists come from Golden to Denver with the first cyclists expected to arrive at the five-mile Downtown Denver closed course at approx. 12 p.m. Details on all road closures and alternate routes are available on the USA Pro Cycling Challenge website and at www.cotrip.org.
Please note, the following items are not allowed into the festival area: food and beverages; glass bottles; pets (except service animals); firearms, weapons, contraband or laser pointers; kites, Frisbees, balls or other sports equipment; scooters, skateboards or inline skates; bicycles (bike parking is located outside of the festival grounds).

The Human Place in Nature
Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE), Summer 2008
That power is in humanity's hands is clearly a risk for all of Creation. But our ability to choose between good and bad is what makes us human. It is up to us to determine if we will make of ourselves a blessing or a curse. To rule nature with wisdom and compassion is our greatest challenge, our growth edge. It demands that we understand ourselves and guard against our own excesses and extremes; it demands a constant level of heightened awareness.

Weak! As far as vib motors go, its small and cute. The factor is nice. However, the vib itself is weak. On its own its mildly amusing. Attach it to anything (like 2 'AAA's) or put a small case around it and its hardly noticeable in your pocket.

The Infamous Robert McKee: STORY Seminar in London
As I grow in my visual thinking work, it's become abundantly clear that the story is 100 times more powerful than the visuals that support it (and am I going to get in trouble for saying that!) I've always known that visualizing crappy content is like putting lipstick on a pig, but the overwhelming importance of story, message, narrative, and arc is becoming part of my modus operandi like never before. So how does a girl get educated on story? Well, by taking the most famous seminar on story in the world – that of Robert McKee, story professor extraordinaire. He wrote the tome you've probably seen called "STORY" and delivers an intensive 4-day workshop that can't possibly be remembered fully unless it's visualized. So, while story matters, visuals, too, matter because creating them during class helped me cement the information into my cortex. So without further ado, my visual notes from McKee's workshop. Enjoy.
View the images by clicking on the thumbnails below, or click here to view them on Flickr. And see more about Robert McKee on Facebook.

This is "Bad Ass".. Story is a quintessential read for any storyteller, screenwriter or experience designer. Great notes.
July 17, 2011
I have wanted, for a long time, to attend Robert's Story seminar but unfortunately it's a bit out of my price range. I have read his book and loved it!! Anyway, all that to say, thank you for putting this out!! This is awesome!!
July 25, 2011
OMG!!!! I love it! I am familiar with Tony Buzan and Mind Mapping, but I have never seen it put to use tis way! And you combing it with STORY! You are indeed a creative genius!…Brilliant!
" two thumbs up!"
John Johnson
July 27, 2011
This is amazing… And I agree with the 'visuals' thing… despite my background being in graphics… Story is key, and I think mystery is key to story… Get 'em hooked and reel 'em in! Love it!!!
August 2, 2011
Sunni – this kicks butt. Thank you!!!
August 11, 2011
Hey Sunni,
I've attended this seminar as well, but your notes are a work of art depicting the class. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing them! Henderson
August 11, 2011
This was exceptional.
I saw the interview J.Fields did online and it was very good. I imagine that you enjoyed yourself then?
I downloaded your pic's and will listen/watch the interview and read along with you story/pic's and see what happens.
August 12, 2011
I'm very glad to find this, as I'm listening to the book now and would love to see these visuals as I "read".
TIP: If you are using a flat bed scanner, try putting a black piece of card stock paper on top of your notebook paper. It helps stop the bleed-through (or whatever you call it).
Thanks for posting!
October 13, 2011
First of all…. F%#*ING FANTASTIC.
I have notes from the NYC seminar this spring but yours bring the information to vivid life. Thank you so much for sharing.
Second @Michael re: price range. I balked for a long time about the price but a friend I trust recently attend the seminar and I am grateful everyday that I finally listened to him.
Something you may want to consider that is not widely known, that I did, is assist at the seminar. You have to arrive earlier, assist during breaks and sometimes say a bit later. Your days are longer than the other students but you get a quite a good break in the price. The spots are very limited so you may want inquire before he is in your area again.
Thanks again for the FABULOUS post.

Now approaching its 200th show, the weekly Teachers Teaching Teachers webcast (and later podcast) is a wealth of interesting discussions and resources for teachers trying to navigate ways to use technology in the classroom. Hosts Paul Allison and Susan Ettenheim invite guests each week to talk about an issue, or a technology tool, and then skillfully guide the discussions around teacher stories and reflections on the issue.
Topics are explored through the lens of inquiry and reflective practice. The chat rooms during the shows are open to anyone, and questions posed in the chat are fielded by the show's participants, who use Skype as a conferencing tool for the show. The webcast is live every Wednesday night at the EdTechTalk site, but then the podcasts and chat room transcripts are published at the Teachers Teaching Teachers website.
Recent topics have included development of lessons for the Youth Voices social network, including a perspective from students who are now in college; the use of the Evoke reality game as a learning device; a discussion with William Kist about his book, The Socially Networked Classroom; and using Ning networking for teacher professional development.
(Disclaimer: I have been a guest on Teachers Teaching Teachers a few times, including a recent show around the use of Webcomics in the classroom.)

I wasn't sure where to post this but I need as many responses as possible as soon as possible because I have to know if I should cancel our appointment by this afternoon.
This is the background: Mid-December, dd gets prescribed a z-pack antibiotic to help clear up an upper respiratory infection. On Christmas Day, dd (6) came down with a terrible stomach flu thing--vomiting, diarrhea, could not keep even water down. Thankfully, it lasted only 12 hours. 2 days later, dh comes down with the same thing, so we definitely think it was a virus. Well, fast forward 1 week and dd starts vomiting out of the blue--no diarrhea, just constant gagging and vomiting with mild fever. We took her immediately to an urgent care clinic and were then sent to the ER at a local children's hospital to check for appendicitis. The took a blood sample and did an ultrasound of her abdomen, all of which were fine, and we were sent home with the diagnosis of another stomach bug. After that, however, she would sleep 10 hours, wake, and then feel queasy for the first hour. Usually, she's very chipper, hops right out of bed, but after that virus on January 4th she would wake and feel queasy. Honestly, at first I thought it was just because she had gotten a little paranoid (and for good reason!) after her last 2 stomach viruses in a week and half. I'm also pregnant and she had seen me having some morning sickness, so I thought maybe that might have aggravated her paranoia. Well, 3 weeks of queasiness each morning (and then being fine the rest of the day) she woke up and threw up. We were planning to go on vacation to Disney World that weekend so we thought we'd just watch her and see if anything else happened. She was fine the rest of the day and for the next 2 days she would wake with queasiness again but no vomiting. We flew to Orlando and starting the morning after she would wake at 6 am (very unusual for her not to sleep until 8 or later!) and need to poop and then vomit. She's pretty much been the same every morning since--waking early, needing to poop, and then vomiting. As soon as we got back from vacation I took her to the pediatrician who put her on OTC Prevacid and told us to see a pediatric gastro-enterologist. We also did a CT scan of her head to make sure there wasn't a tumor, and that was negative. I made an appt. that very afternoon and the earliest they had was 3 weeks later. Meanwhile, the pediatrician said if she got worse, take her to the ER. Last Thursday we did that because she was still very sick every morning and getting more frequent spells of queasiness throughout the day. They did a lot of bloodwork and all of that came back negative for anything--checked white blood cell count, celiac disease, etc. We were given a higher dosage of Zofran to try out (4 mg) and that has been working in the morning to keep her from vomiting. This is the only thing that has helped at all. We saw the pediatric GI dr. yesterday (actually she ended up being a physician's asst. if that matters) and were given orders to continue the Zofran, the Prevacid, and add an anti-histamine at night called cyproheptadine. She checked for blood in her stools and that was negative. The dr. ordered a series of stool tests that we're going to do soon, and she also ordered a barium x-ray of her lower GI tract to make sure there wasn't a blockage. We were also prescribed Florastor, a probiotic, to take twice a day.
My question is this: Would you do the barium x-ray given that dd has recently had a CT scan of her head? I'm really worried about radiation exposure, and according to the information I've been looking at online, this x-ray technique (it's like a real-time video x-ray until the barium is digested) is like 3 years of environmental exposure to radiation. That seems like a lot to me. So far, the Zofran seems to help in the morning, and last night dd slept better having taken the cyproheptadine. I'm giving her DanActive as well as the Florastor but we've just started these so I don't know if or how fast they will help. My instinct is that her GI tract just really got torn up from those viruses in late December/early January. She had had an infection before then which took a Z-pack antibiotic to clear up, so her gut was already very vulnerable when she got those 2 stomach bugs. I feel like she just needs time to heal, and I'm worried that this barium x-ray will do nothing to help and expose her to significant amounts of radiation.
What would you do? Please help!!!
Hi Mama,
I feel so bad for your dd (and you) . . . this sounds like it's been a terrible ordeal.
Are you talking about a barium enema, or a small bowel follow-through? Unfortunately, those symptoms definitely need to be investigated. If the doctor's concerned about blockage, or inflammatory bowel disease (which can be triggered by a stomach virus), I would ask if my DD could have an MRE first . . . no radiation (but owing to her age she might have to be sedated). If not, I would assume a small bowel follow-through would be appropriate (despite the radiation . . . if it's a blockage or Crohn's, those absolutely need to be treated ASAP, and neither would show up on any of the tests she's had so far). I would do a colonoscopy over a barium enema (again, sedation, but bno radiation). And the radiation is to a different part of her body, so I wouldn't worry about the head CT.
Good luck, mama, I hope it's nothing and your dd feels better soon!
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it's a small bowel follow-through. So, then, it matters about where the radiation is done? I wish I could ask about the other tests you mentioned but it is SO hard to speak to a dr. here. Thanks!
Yes, the radiation affects the cells in its path, not the whole body, as far as I understand it . . . so brain CT and abdominal CT would be affecting different cells.
An MRE is an MRI of the digestive tract. It's an expensive test and takes a long time to perform, so doctors will almost always recommend the x-ray type tests first, but it images the small intestine. I don't know if it will show the same things your doctor is looking for, and the SBFT shows the digestive tract working, which the MRE won't, so it may not be adequate. But I think it's worth it to ask, if you're able to. The worst the doctor can say is no, right?
I'm surprised they haven't done a colonoscopy already. Living in a chron's family we've all gone though a lot of this (I'm one of the few that actually doesn't have it, but still have a weak stomach). I'd think they would do that first barium really really sucks! I would ask about doing it.
Thanks so much for the replies. We've opted to wait on the testing. We're doing some stool sampling now, but she's really responding to probiotics and zofran, and is pretty much back to her normal self right now. I honestly think it's just gastritis, and I'm not going to put her through a barium x-ray for a very slight chance of something that no one in our family has and it's very unlikely that she has. All of this started after antibiotics and 2 bouts of stomach flu (she was fine before then and had never had an issue) so I think those things aggravated her gut. Again, thanks for the input.

6 tips for getting the most out of any training
By Dr. Joel Shults
Chief, Adams State College (CO) PD
Cops love training. Lock and load. Hit the range. Slap some leather. Punch some holes in some paper. Lay some tread on the track. Mount up. Sign me up for SWAT school!
But let's face it, not all training is worthwhile, not all subjects are fun, and not all trainers are gifted educators. Here are some tips to get the most out of training - even bad training.
1. Be a "gold miner" and learn one thing.
After thirty years of seminars, academies, and recertifications I could sleep through most classes. But I am a life-long learner and even if I go to a repeat class with a boring instructor I always promise myself that I will learn at least one new thing. That makes me a gold miner – looking for nuggets of useful information along the way. Listening and watching for those nuggets keeps me alert and interested in what may be around the next coffee break.
2. Make your own connections.
Learning and retention occur when the information is meaningful, especially if emotion or social connections are attached. Sometimes you have to make your own meaning – especially if you've tuned out an instructor you don't like. Think creatively and be open-minded. Can this diversity class help my interrogation skills? Would this information be good for someone I am training or work with? Is this mandatory class a step on my career ladder?
3. Give yourself permission to disagree.
Many times a concept, principle, or course of instruction is presented as though it were brought down from Mt. Sinai along with the Ten Commandments. Methods, laws, and training doctrine change. Sometimes new ideas are bad, sometimes new ideas are old ideas with new acronyms, and sometimes a trainer gets pulled in to teach a course for which they are not truly qualified. You don't have to be disruptive or disrespectful to question and debate things in your own mind. If you engage with the material and wrestle with it under the skeptic's scope, you'll add value to your training day.
4. Network.
Talk to other cops on break and at lunch. Pick their brains, listen to their war stories, get their business cards. The trainer is never the only person in the room with good information to share. Harvest knowledge from others.
5. Be a humble learner.
Stop posturing. Quit trying to prove you know more than the instructor or the officer next to you. Avoid telling yourself you already know all of this stuff. You don't have to have a better story, a better way to do something, or figure out a way to announce how great you are. Listen to your own conversation. If you start hearing yourself saying "I" more than three times in a brief conversation, it's time to shut up and learn.
6. Ask questions.
Despite the popular concept that there are no stupid questions, I know better. I have heard stupid questions and have been known to ask a few myself. It's OK. Take the risk. The resulting dialogue will give a needed break to the course, inspire others to engage with the class, and answer the stupid question somebody else was too afraid to ask.
If you don't ask at the time, be sure to get the instructor's email address and check the bibliography for the material to answer your questions later. You are the person most responsible for your own learning. Don't be passive about it.

Fashion Week: The Hotel Across The Street
By Terry Trucco
Sometimes a hotel just gets lucky. For years Fashion Week unfurled in big white tents in Bryant Park across the street from the Bryant Park Hotel. But in 2010, the big twice-yearly show moved to a sleek gray cube planted in Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park. And just like that, luck winked at the Empire Hotel, so close you can scamper from hotel to cube in stilettos.
This year the Empire went all out to celebrate Fashion Week, February 9th to 15th. We stopped by to see what you can do without checking in or scoring an invitation to a private party.
Since its renovation in 2007, the lobby feels like a nightclub even during the day. Velvet sofas, animal print pillows and a bold, black-and-white stone floor reminiscent of a Venetian ballroom dress a sprawling, darkly lighted room with a moody bar, generous seating and a curvaceous staircase designed to showcase anyone who wants to make an entrance. Typical of early 20th-century buildings – the Empire was built in 1915 — the mezzanine, studded with more velvet sofas, overlooks the lobby.
It could have been a convention. Younger, hipper and a lot better dressed than a gathering of cardiologists or insurance agents, people milled about chatting in small groups, talking into smartphones, poring over notebooks and downing bottled Fuze drinks handed out after a fashion show in a ballroom.
Under the staircase we spotted an artist creating a charcoal rendering of a stylish woman in a short black dress. A senior at Pratt Institute, Ryan Jones was one of four students recruited by the school at the hotel's request to draw free portraits of Fashion Week guests wishing to sit for one. It was his fifth portrait of the day.
A different artist shows up daily from 11 am to 5 pm, each with a specialty, be it digital art, markers and color or, in Jones' case, traditional fine art drawings – a departure for him. "I usually do more satirical stuff," he said.
We headed to the bar, where a menu of $15 Fashion Week cocktails features choices like Don't Feed the Models (Crop Cucumber Vodka, lime juice, cucumber juice, mint) and Thanks, It's Vintage (Woodford Reserve Bourbon, sweet vermouth, pomegranate molasses, bourbon-soaked apple slices, cherry bitters).
The drinks looked pretty, but every seat was taken so we stepped outside. A hotel storefront
had been transformed into Fit in Fashion, a pop-up shop for vendors and press crammed with an array of small businesses that change daily.
Jamie Turquie, a social worker turned fashion designer, sported a black sweater over a white blouse that was actually a faux blouse, ie a collar. Her company CeCe Toppings creates trompe l'oeil collars in a variety of styles and fabrics priced from $40. "The weight of your sweater holds it in place," she said.
We also got a preview of Chaise 23, a new Manhattan fitness club offering classes that use a special chair and bungee cords for a variety of Pilate-inspired stretches, strength builders and cardio workouts. It looked fun — like a lot on view this week at the Empire.

That certainly is a different Empire Hotel than the one I remember years back. Very spiffy now. I'll make a point to drop in next time at Lincoln Center for the ballet or opera — even if the sketch artists are long gone.
Comment by Liz — February 13, 2012 @ 9:00 pm
You're so right. I stayed at the Empire a couple of iterations ago, and it had a Tudor-style lobby and chintz bedspreads in the room. It's a nice place for a drink post anything at Lincoln Center — and a lot less hectic once Fashion Week is over.

We had our Christmas party there and it was splendid. The staff was organized and ready to help with anything that I needed. They were very professional and kind. The staff at Sleepy Ridge made my job of planning the Christmas party so much easier then I could ever have imagined! Even the views from the balcony were amazing.

A couple other perks are the parking lot is big enough to accommodate guests and it is close to hotels for traveling guests. The keynote of the entire evening was the stunning sunset over Utah Lake. All in all, sleepy ridge is a perfect 10.
I loved our experience with Sleepy Ridge! Not only was it the best priced venue I could find, it was the most beautiful! Truly breathtaking! Perfect for bridals as well.

The package really is a great deal, and I would recommend sleepy ridge to anyone looking for the perfect wedding!
