[20:18] <MrOverkill> VladVP, Of course! Didn't you read SU9?
[20:19] <MrOverkill> http://blog.trillek.org/2014/01/06/status-update-9/
01[20:19] <VladVP> I never read those
01[20:19] <VladVP> do we have RSS feeds?
[20:19] <MrOverkill> idk
[20:19] <danix111> Yes.
01[20:19] <VladVP> oh, where?
[20:19] <MrOverkill> Well, basically i'm writing a Ship Editor that exports JSON Sigma can read. Probably.
[20:20] <danix111> VladVP: http://blog.trillek.org/feed/
01[20:20] <VladVP> I was hoping for a way to build ships through some kind of large-scale crafting system
01[20:20] <VladVP> like minecraft
01[20:20] <VladVP> just more gmod
[20:22] <MrOverkill> If I can ever figure out C++ or get them to use Java, I'd love to write that into the core game.
[20:22] <danix111> Anyone remember the 0x10c ship editor?
[20:22] <danix111> http://cdn.0x10cblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/0x10c-ship-editor.png
01[20:23] <VladVP> I do
01[20:23] <VladVP> Herobrine copied the code from notch's livestream and made his own
[20:23] <MrOverkill> Never seen it but it looks like something I could write if people wanted the ships to look like that.
[20:23] <Meisaka> vaguely
01[20:23] <VladVP> MrOverkill: NO
01[20:23] <VladVP> NO
01[20:23] <VladVP> NEVER

01[20:23] <VladVP> LIKE THAT
[20:23] <danix111> VladVP: Not that one.
[20:23] <MrOverkill> LOL
[20:23] <danix111> That one I posted screenshot of.
01[20:24] <VladVP> Isn't that it?
[20:24] <danix111> Nope, that one you were talking about was a very early prototype made around when 0x10c started.
01[20:24] <VladVP> and this one is...?
[20:25] <danix111> Something Notch worked on much later.
01[20:25] <VladVP> I see then
[20:25] <MrOverkill> So.. Don't make it look like that screenshot?
01[20:25] <VladVP> never
01[20:25] <VladVP> dude
01[20:25] <VladVP> do you have Garryøs Mod?
01[20:26] <VladVP> Garry's*
[20:26] <MrOverkill> Yes
01[20:27] <VladVP> go build a car, a spaceship, (and also spawn a bunch of headcrabs and try to kill them from long range only using the revolver)
[20:27] <MrOverkill> but a physgun is WAY too complicated to make without a completely implemented physics engine and many other components.
[20:27] <MrOverkill> And even then it's probably more effort than it's worth.
01[20:28] <VladVP> We already have a partially implemented physics engine
01[20:28] <VladVP> and a physgun is wasy
01[20:28] <VladVP> c'mon
[20:28] <MrOverkill> I have an idea for something much cooler.
01[20:28] <VladVP> >detect what the user is aiming at
[20:28] <MrOverkill> It involves much more realism.
01[20:28] <VladVP> >change position and orientation relative to user
01[20:28] <VladVP> oh?
01[20:28] <VladVP> more realism is good
01[20:28] <VladVP> what's your iddea?
02[20:29] * catageek ([email protected]) Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[20:29] <MrOverkill> The in-game system will basically be using computers to print out schematics which fabricators will read to create a ship.
[20:29] <MrOverkill> and then you use the fabricators to build parts and extend it.
01[20:29] <VladVP> and how are those fabricators going to create the ships...?
01[20:29] <VladVP> and parts
[20:29] <MrOverkill> by welding pieces together.
01[20:30] <VladVP> you can do that in gmod
01[20:30] <VladVP> just not very realistic xD
01[20:30] <VladVP> we could force players to actually weld stuff
01[20:30] <VladVP> that would be awesome to spend time on
01[20:30] <VladVP> or make in-game money off
[20:31] <MrOverkill> The idea would be that a ship is like a voxel model that is constructed of small pieces like wall, corner, etc... and for EXTENDING the ship you have to fly the parts out to the ship and weld them manually.
01[20:31] <VladVP> That's already what you're doing in gmod
01[20:31] <VladVP> so
01[20:31] <VladVP> okay then
01[20:31] <VladVP> we have a crafting system for ships now then?
[20:31] <MrOverkill> that's the idea.
01[20:31] <VladVP> gmod-style?
[20:32] <MrOverkill> what I just described
01[20:32] <VladVP> gravity guns instead of physguns is okay with me
01[20:32] <VladVP> okay then
[20:32] <MrOverkill> So, here's how making a ship would work
01[20:32] <VladVP> now we're just facing one little problem
01[20:32] <VladVP> MAKING PARTS
01[20:32] <VladVP> And the answer to this one is obvious:
01[20:33] <VladVP> 3D-PRINTING
01[20:33] <VladVP> eh? eh?
[20:33] <MrOverkill> you go to your computer, which is either hooked up to a fabricator or a printer, and design your ship by stitching parts together in layers. Then the fabricator is fed the info and essentially 3d-prints your ship based off of the positions for parts that you defined
[20:33] <MrOverkill> and for parts, you import models.
01[20:33] <VladVP> fair enough
01[20:34] <VladVP> external or internal 3d-modelling programs?
[20:34] <MrOverkill> external modelling programs
01[20:34] <VladVP> hm
[20:34] <MrOverkill> internal model stitching programs
01[20:34] <VladVP> we will have to discuss that one at some point
01[20:34] <VladVP> but for now that's okay I guess
01[20:34] <VladVP> also
01[20:35] <VladVP> Soldering?
01[20:35] <VladVP> So you can design your own microchips
01[20:35] <VladVP> and also industrial solders that can sold huge microchips for you
01[20:35] <VladVP> automatically
01[20:35] <VladVP> eh? eh?
[20:36] <MrOverkill> and then to extend a ship, you seal off the area you plan to extend, bring the extension over, and "weld" ( AKA stitch ) the parts to the ship, then you seal the airlock and make it part of the ship
[20:36] <MrOverkill> and a microchip system is a great idea!
01[20:36] <VladVP> uhm
01[20:36] <VladVP> wtf
01[20:36] <VladVP> I thought you could just park it in a hangar and do it from there
[20:37] <MrOverkill> so, a chip would have a specified set of inputs and outputs, and bigger ships hold more instructions?
01[20:37] <VladVP> instructions?
[20:37] <MrOverkill> usually, but what if you want to make a ship big enough to have a hangar of it's own?
01[20:37] <VladVP> oh, you mean preassembled chips?
01[20:37] <VladVP> in that case, both options should be available
[20:37] <MrOverkill> yes you assemble a chip that has pre-defined instructions and has inputs and outputs!
01[20:38] <VladVP> pre-defined instructions?
[20:38] <MrOverkill> and of course, if it's small enough you could extend it in the hangar, but i'm talking massive warships here.
01[20:38] <VladVP> good point
01[20:38] <VladVP> I was talking medium-sized freighters xD
[20:39] <MrOverkill> yes, a simple scripting language we can make that basically defines how the ships respond to input and output.
01[20:39] <VladVP> wot
01[20:39] <VladVP> no no no
[20:39] <MrOverkill> no?
01[20:39] <VladVP> You completely misunderstood me
[20:39] <MrOverkill> oh
01[20:39] <VladVP> I thought about an interface where you could literally SOLD microtechnical parts onto a silicon chip
01[20:40] <VladVP> eh?
[20:40] <MrOverkill> So.. you literally build a chip?
01[20:40] <VladVP> yup
01[20:40] <VladVP> and for huge chips that would otherwise take weeks if not months
[20:40] <MrOverkill> you realize for that we literally have to simulate electricity?
01[20:40] <VladVP> we will have industrial solderers
01[20:41] <VladVP> MrOverkill we could just have logic gates?
[20:41] <MrOverkill> ah so kind of like a better wiremod?
01[20:41] <VladVP> hm
01[20:41] <VladVP> good perspective!
01[20:41] <VladVP> yeah, basically
01[20:41] <VladVP> speaking of wires
[20:41] <MrOverkill> yeah i coulf go for that
[20:41] <MrOverkill> *could
01[20:41] <VladVP> we should definitely have wires and cables to connect the shite
01[20:41] <VladVP> colour coding!
[20:42] <MrOverkill> yeah
01[20:42] <VladVP> well
01[20:42] <VladVP> so
01[20:42] <VladVP> 3 different crafting systems in one?
01[20:42] <VladVP> I love it!
[20:42] <MrOverkill> IKR!

The Polish government is engaged in a flurry of activity to cover all bases regarding the proposed installation on their territory of missiles by the United States government. Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski rushed to Moscow to reassure the Russians not to worry about having missiles a few hundred miles away. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov assured him that Russia had no veto right over what Poland desired for its protection. Sikorski then turned his attention to negotiations with the United States over the missiles. The Polish government wants money and military equipment from the United States in order to modernize its air force and get some nice missiles of its own. In fact, Poland is so pleased to receive US military assistance, it even has agreed to increase the size of the Polish contingent in Iraq.
Lost in this running back and forth to secure agreements on missiles in Poland is the question as to why the missiles are needed in the first place. Poland wants its own missiles, why? Is another nation threatening Poland? Which missiles from which country will the new installation shoot down? Nations are prepared to spend billions on missiles and military equipment when they have no one to fight. Wouldn't it make more sense to spend that money on issues of poverty, health care or education?

The half-loops give a lot of variety other than the toes or loops we always see and a lot more points (?). Was there a rule change so no one does it anymore? Or is it too risky? anyway i'd just like to see more variety in jump combinations

Assessment Characteristics:
Assessments is comprehensive and timely (we try to maintain 48-hour turn-around). A flexible battery approach is used to incorporate intellectual, neuropsychological, and personality testing. Psychometrician assistance (3 ½ full-time) is provided for administration and scoring of tests.
Intervention Characteristics:
Brief cognitive-behavioral interventions are frequently a part of the comprehensive treatment plan. The intern may follow cases after discharge in afternoon clinic for brief duration. Interns will also attend weekly cognitive-behavioral therapy case conference.
Patient Characteristics:
Adults age 19 – 65 with serious mental illness; schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and sever anxiety disorders are the primary focus of this rotation. However, differential diagnosis issues encountered will include essentially all of the DSM-IV nosologies. Serious mental illness related neurocognitive disorders are a major focus of this rotation as well.
Distribution of Clinical Activities:
Fifty to seventy percent of the intern's time is spent in differential diagnosis related activities ranging from interviewing, to neuropsychological testing, and report writing. Attendance and involvement in staff meetings, case conferences, and multidisciplinary evaluation clinics may also be expected. Providing inpatient coverage will be an element of this rotation from time to time, although the primary focus is outpatient.
Assessment Characteristics:
Assessment patients are seen by the intern and Dr. Savage for clinical interview. The majority of neuropsychological assessment procedures are conducted by the intern. Several computer based procedures are available. Assessments range from I.Q. screenings and personality assessment, to comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations. Psychotic symptoms are frequently reported and basic Rorschach skills are required or can be developed for assessing thought disorder.
Intervention Characteristics:
Interns are often sought out to provide short-term behavioral and cognitive behavioral interventions on this rotation. Intermediate and long-term therapy opportunities are available and may include group therapy and psycho-educational interventions (Rehabilitation Day Program).
Adult Outpatient Psychotherapy – A. Hal Thurstin, PhD
Adult men and women (18 to 65 years) present to the Neuropsychiatry Clinic with a variety of psychiatric disorders. Most commonly seen diagnoses include anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, and panic disorder. Axis I diagnoses are often complicated by Axis II traits.
Distribution of Clinical Activities:
This is a minor rotation. Interns spend approximately 60% of their time in assessment and intervention, 25% in supervision, and 15% documenting clinical activities. Interns are encouraged to attend Departmental Grand Rounds.
Assessment Characteristics:
Evaluation is done through diagnostic interviews, assessments of couples functioning, and symptom severity scales.
Intervention Characteristics:
Interventions are individualized and determined by patient characteristics and treatment plan. Individual therapy and couples therapy are the principle modalities with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral and interpersonal approaches.
Preceptor: Karen Cropsey, Psy.D., Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, 401 Beacon Pkwy, 917-3786 x205.
Rotation Site: This rotation is at an off-site location and is located within the UAB Substance Abuse Program which provides substance abuse treatment and monitoring for community corrections substance abuse clients. This minor rotation is generally for 12-15 hours per week and can accommodate 1-2 interns per rotation.
Population: This clinical rotation in substance abuse involves providing assessments for a range of individuals with substance abuse as well as comorbid psychiatric or medical conditions. Psychological assessments and evaluations will involve clients who have criminal justice involvement and who are being maintained in the community under criminal justice supervision. In addition, interns could maintain an active caseload of psychotherapy patients with co-occurring substance abuse and psychiatric diagnoses.
Interns would also have the opportunity to provide psychological assessments for individuals who are being treated for substance abuse in an inpatient setting, including impaired provider evaluations for the Board of Nursing, the Board of Medicine, or other health providers.
For either population, these assessments would address referral questions regarding psychiatric illness or personality disorders as well as questions of cognitive functioning.
Expectations: Interns would be expected to gain proficiency in conducting clinical assessments with this population and would work collaborative with a range of mental health and medical professionals. By the end of the rotation, interns would be expected to be proficient with identifying substance use disorders and will be able to provide basic recommendations for substance abuse treatment.
Clinical Duties: Interns would generally perform 2-3 new evaluations each week, including psychological testing, clinical interviewing, and write-up of the psychological report. If interested, a group therapy experience could be organized for the intern that would likely involve providing group psychotherapy for Anger Management or other psychosocial groups for substance abusers. Opportunities for conducting individual therapy could also be arranged, with the active caseload to be determined by the intern and supervisor.
Intern Schedules: Interns selecting this rotation should plan to spend the bulk of their day onsite with Dr. Cropsey. These evaluations are generally performed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Therapy patients could be scheduled on other days Free onsite parking is available.

General Description
Patient Characteristics:
Patients on this service have acquired brain injury, usually by traumatic means. As a result of the brain injury they exhibit physical and cognitive disabilities which rapidly improve in many cases. Age ranges from sixteen years to geriatric cases, with preponderance of cases being in the young adult range. All activities take place at SRC, a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation facility.
Distribution of Clinical Activities:
The intern participates in morning rounds and learns to perform bedside cognitive screening (10%). Neuropsychological assessment of inpatients and outpatients is typical, with the intern performing at least some of the testing (15%). For those less experienced in neuropsychological assessment training is provided. Interviewing patients and family members is an important component of the experience, as well as organizing and interpreting neuropsychological test results (30%). Interns participate in feedback sessions with patients and family members (10%). Concise and clear report writing is emphasized, ranging from short staffing notes to neuropsychological testing reports of several pages (35%). There is also often time to read about interesting cases.
Assessment Characteristics:
Interns will learn to employ measures of neurocognitive ability at a screening level and in a more comprehensive battery. The latter usually involves a full day of assessment focusing on major neuropsychological instruments. This includes assessment of intellectual and academic skills, as well as memory functioning, reasoning skills and language abilities. Personality assessment, particularly use of projective instruments, is not common. Interns are expected to participate in initial interviews for testing cases and also in feedback sessions, which usually occur at the end of the day. A psychometrician is available, but the intern may be performing some of the testing, which is considered an important part of the learning experience.
Intervention Characteristics:
Interventions with patients are primarily brief and directive due to the short length of stay. Behavior/environmental management is an important component. Outpatients are sometimes seen for therapy. Interns are not expected to assume a leading role in intervention, unless they request to do so.
Clinical Activities-
Distribution of Intern Time: Approximately 40% of the intern time is spent providing assessment, including clinical diagnostic interviews and neuropsychological testing. Approximately 20% of time is spent reviewing patient medical records, neuropsychological test interpretation, and report writing, and 20% on intervention, feedback, or inpatient consultation. The remainder of the intern's time is dedicated to supervision, didactics, and participating on multidisciplinary treatment teams.
Hours: This rotation is a Minor rotation (12-16 hours). There is flexibility in the intern's schedule, but the interested intern may wish to participate in the multidisciplinary Liver Disease Conference held Tuesday mornings at 10 am. Pre-liver transplant evaluations are usually conducted Monday afternoons, and Tuesday – Thursday mornings; pre-bariatric evaluations are generally conducted on Monday and Wednesday mornings.
Goals of Rotation: This rotation can be tailored to each intern's specific training needs. Training and supervision will follow a graduated approach, increasing responsibilities as appropriate for each intern's level of competency. Therefore, this rotation is appropriate for those with little to no experience in neuropsychological assessment and for those who have advanced neuropsychological assessment skills.
Note: Research activities are available for interested interns.
Return to Top
Patient Characteristics:
Patient population includes men and women over the age of 60. These individuals are seen on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Common diagnostic categories represented include Dementia, Depression, Psychosis, and Personality disorders. A wide variety of medical problems also exist in this population.
Distribution of Clinical Activities:
Interns can expect to spend 40% of their time performing assessments, 20% writing, 20% at rounds, 5% intervention, and 15% in supervision.
Assessment Characteristics:
Assessments most often include brief neuropsychological screenings, interviews, and sometimes personality testing. Psychometrist support is available depending upon the intern's skill level.
Intervention Characteristics:
When intervention is offered it usually consists of individual therapy with an emphasis on behavioral and cognitive orientations and techniques.

Preceptor: A. Hal Thurstin, PhD
Site: CPM Neuropsychology Laboratory and UAB University Hospital
Patient Population: The vast majority of patients seen on this rotation are candidates for heart and lung transplantation and are referred by the UAB Department of Surgery's Cardiothoracic Transplant Service as part of a series of pre-transplant medical evaluations. Very occasionally, referrals for neuropsychological evaluations are made to this service by other medical/surgical services. Roughly 75 percent of patients are seen on an outpatient basis, while the remaining 25 percent are seen on an inpatient basis. Patients range in age from the mid-teens to mid-seventies and present with a wide range of medical, psychiatric, and behavioral diagnoses.
All assessments include a diagnostic clinical interview that includes an evaluation of patients' compliance, substance use, exercise, diet, and health behavior histories, as well as an evaluation of their psychiatric, social, academic, and vocational histories and their social support network and stress-coping skills. The evaluations are geared toward helping the Transplant Service determine the candidate's suitability for transplantation, identifying those areas of concern, including cognitive and academic deficits, that may negatively impact upon the individuals transplant candidacy (e.g., limited and inconsistent social support), and suggesting ways in which these limitations may be practically addressed. The typical evaluation is three hours in length, with intellectual, attentional, memory, expressive language, visuoperceptual, and executive cognitive functions being assessed. Psychometrician support is available for test administration and scoring. While a "standard" battery of tests is routinely used, the battery may be tailored to accommodate the specific needs of patients.
Treatment / Intervention:
This rotation provides the occasional opportunity for short- and long-term psychotherapy, as well as patient education to improve/enhance compliance and adherence behaviors.
Clinical Activities-
Distribution of Intern Effort: Roughly 40 percent of the intern's time is devoted to evaluation, which includes conducting clinical interviews and administering and scoring neuropsychological measures. Approximately 30 percent of the intern's time is devoted to reviewing patient records and information, test interpretation, and report writing. Thirty percent of time is spent in heart and lung transplant team meetings, didactic meetings, and supervision.
Time Commitment:
This is a minor rotation and will require 12 to 16 hours per week. Some flexibility in the intern's schedule can be accommodated. Lung and Heart transplant team meetings are held from 7:30 to 9:00 am on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, respectively, while most evaluations are conducted on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and Friday mornings.
Rotation Goals:
Specific goals of this rotation are fairly flexible and can be accommodated to meet the intern's specific training needs. However, the general goal for the rotation is to familiarize interns with neuropsychological evaluation for medical/ surgical patients. Supervision over the course of the rotation will typically follow a graduated approach, with increasing responsibility being given to interns as the competency increases. The rotation is appropriate for interns with limited neuropsychological assessment experience, as well as those with advanced pre-internship training in clinical neuropsychology.

How to Be a Man: Nick Offerman's Master Class
The Lillie Langtry Room at Keens Steakhouse in Manhattan is paneled in warm oak. In its center is a table covered in a starched white cloth, upon which rests a steak grilled medium rare, plates of creamed spinach and mashed Yukon gold potatoes, and a bottle of Lagavulin Distillers Edition with a couple of snifters. This, for Nick Offerman, is paradise.
The co-star of NBC's Parks and Recreation is in New York to promote his book, Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living, and like George Hamilton at the Polo Lounge or Alec Baldwin on Page Six, a steakhouse is his natural habitat. "There's nothing more delicious than red meat—I enjoy it greatly," Offerman says, tucking into his T-bone. He and other members of his family have not always been on the best terms with cholesterol, but he will never abandon beef entirely. "I'm still on my feet," he says, "and as long as I am, I intend to eat a huge, juicy steak."
The overlap between Offerman and the character he plays on TV, Ron Swanson, is not insignificant. Today, Offerman is wearing the same mustache he has made famous as the boss of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department. But his hair isn't as bureaucratically pompadoured, and he's in a blue-and-white gingham shirt with a pair of well-worn jeans instead of Swanson's Midwestern khakis. There are philosophical differences as well: Swanson is a libertarian Lou Grant, abhorring the government he works for, while Offerman abides by more of a muscular humanism. Both men genuinely cherish a breed of manliness that modern society, they feel, has swept aside.
About that mustache, to which Offerman's persona is inextricably linked: While he doesn't wear it all year (once his TV show goes on break, the mustache goes with it), he does enjoy it. "Growing up, the mustache was a great symbol of virility to me. Two of my uncles had great mustaches. They were farmers," he says. "Getting old enough to grow a mustache meant I could drive the truck and the combine and be in charge. And I could have 12 beers instead of the mere three [my uncles] allowed me in junior high."
It might seem as if Offerman's facial hair connects him to a larger cultural trend, that of the "urban woodsman," those city dwellers who seek macho authenticity by buying overpriced handmade axes and making their own salmon jerky. He wants no part of that. "I think that a great many people wear mustaches ironically—it's sort of a hipster accessory," he says. "And that's been true for a lot of things in my life. Trucker caps, Carhartt garments, work boots, have all come and gone in popular fashion. People will accuse me of 'Oh, well, you have a handkerchief, you must listen to Drake.' I tell them I wear Carhartts because they're durable garments that I wear in the shop. And long after you're done wearing Carhartts, I'll still be wearing them."
Offerman's fame has eclipsed that of the low-rated Parks and Recreation, and he's embraced (and profited from) his role as pop culture's favorite dude. He writes books, makes and sells furniture, and gives charming joint interviews about love with his wife of 10 years, actress Megan Mullally. Paddle Your Own Canoe is part memoir, chronicling his journey from rural Illinois to TV stardom, but it's also a man's manifesto, even if he writes, "I seem to have been associated with certain traits of machismo in the zeitgeist, at least for this brief, golden moment. I find that fact to be somewhat embarrassing, given my firsthand knowledge of my personal failings and propensity for jackass behavior." I see no jackassery. Offerman is an object lesson in good table manners. The napkin goes onto his lap within seconds of sitting down. Eye contact is made at every toast.
The book tackles topics such as fashion ("Jobs that require a suit upset me. They displease me much, as our world is rife with such superficial conformity"); intoxicants ("I am a supersweet teddy bear, but when I drink tequila, I want to knife somebody"); and chivalry (after he poses the question, "If you ladies want to be treated as equals, then shouldn't you be able to open your own car door?" Offerman writes, "The answer to that is simply, 'No, dude. You're an a--hole.' "). Offerman's power comes from his mix of old-school masculinity and 21st century sensitivity. Be tough but kind. Be an individual.
Woven through his treatises on various topics is a reverence for making, building, and fixing things. "Work is a privilege," Offerman says over Scotch. "If you can, find work that you enjoy, that makes your life practical, that makes you offer a contribution rather than, say, 'Well, I should just go work in a cubicle so I can drive a Toyota and buy my Levi's.' "
This puts Offerman somewhat at odds with modern living. "It's inescapable that the human condition is: If you're both laying in the cave and the fire's going out, you're hoping the other guy is going to get up and put more wood on the fire," he says. "We'll always take the easier choice. And I think that's what a lot of modern industry figured out, how to appeal to that side of our nature and say, 'Well sure, you could grow a garden, but that's a heck of a lot of work. And you know what you're doing it in? Dirt. And do you know what that is? Dirty.' "
Offerman wants to get dirty. And that happens most often in his wood shop in Los Angeles. It's more than a hobby: He has a website, offermanwoodshop.com, featuring work he and his partners have made, such as a meat-carving board for $135 and a walnut desk for $5,562. He has written for Fine Woodworking magazine. "American white oak is, to me, the most noble of woods," Offerman says. "It's the stoutest. It's incredibly dense. It's what the hulls of old wooden ships were built of. 'Old Ironsides' was so named because her hull was 18 inches thick of white oak."
When he's not building furniture or writing books, Offerman spends seven months of the year filming Parks and Recreation. He plays the boss, but he's never sought an executive role off camera. "I would much rather serve under a brilliant general than come up with any battle plan of my own."
The cast and crew of Parks and Recreation are known for being one of the most genial and collaborative in TV. Offerman ascribes that to a simple rule the show's creators have applied from the beginning. "First and foremost, you want to keep all the a--holes out of your group," he says. "When you're working together 12, 13, 14 hours a day, that makes a really big difference. If somebody's even a little abrasive, at the end of the week, you want to strangle that person."
He takes another sip of his Lagavulin ("mother's milk," he calls it). "I've learned that creativity, and heart, and humor can go much further than ruling by fear or by any sort of greed or power," he continues. "I've seen a lot of victories achieved by leaders being magnanimous and giving of their good fortune, instead of trying to hoard it."

LOS ANGELES — "Damages" isn't exactly going for laughs in season three, which starts tonight, but it will feature comic veterans Lily Tomlin and Martin Short as — probably as bad guys.
Probably because it's always a little hard to tell on the FX legal drama who the good guys are or if there are even any. One of the fascinating aspects of "Damages," which has earned 14 Emmy nominations over its first two season, is the moral ambiguity of its main character, Patty Hewes, a high-powered New York City attorney played by Emmy and Golden Globe winner Glenn Close.
This season her character will be trying to recover billions of dollars from a massive Wall Street investment fraud — a la Bernie Madoff — but comes up against the powerful Tobin family, the matriarch of which is played by Tomlin, while Short is the clan's lawyer, Leonard Winstone.
One reason they wanted Tomlin and Short, says "Damages" executive producer Todd Kessler, was because the pair would "embody this sense of nothing is as it seems. And while there's a familiarity with both of them as actors ... on our show I think they're both giving pretty iconic performances that are thrilling us daily."
For Tomlin, joining the series was an easy choice.
"I was a fan of the show from day one," Tomlin says, "and it's the only show I've ever run home to see, no matter what."
The actress says when she met Kessler at a photography show in Los Angeles, she "lost it."
"You know how women throw themselves — like they'll jump on a guy they know really well and put their arms around his neck and their legs around his waist? So I think when it came to do the third season, they thought, 'Remember that girl that jumped on you at that photography show?'"
Short, too, was a fan of the show, and while people see him as a funny guy, he doesn't think playing a shady lawyer is really a stretch.
"I wouldn't say I've done an endless amount of serious roles," Short says, "but I think of myself as a character actor, and you play characters in a sincere fashion. So even if you're playing Franck from "Father of the Bride," if you're trying to be funny as that character, you won't be. But if you sincerely play him as this eccentric person who exists in the world, then you're basically acting the character, who happens to be unusual."
And does his character — like so many others on "Damages" — have a secret agenda?
"I certainly think Leonard Winstone appears to have only the interest of the Tobin family, and yet we're not convinced that's the case. And that's the most fascinating thing to play."
"Damages" has no shortage of top-flight actors. Along with stars Rose Byrne and Tate Donovan, returning to the series this season are Ted Danson, Michael Nouri, and Tom Noonan.
They will be joined by new cast members Campbell Scott, Len Cariou, Keith Carradine, Ben Shenkman and Dominic Chianese.
Close says she thrilled to have Tomlin and Short as part of the cast.
"My first scene with Martin and Lily is when I was deposing Lily, and I was sitting across from the two of them. ... It was a very surreal experience, having watched them my whole career and loved them. And I can't tell you how invigorating, inspiring, fun it is."
The actress says she was even "jealous" because she doesn't have a lot of scenes with the pair. "There was a scene with Lily and Martin and Campbell that one of the crew guys called a gift to watch, not only when they were in the scene, but what they did between the takes."
What they did between takes was make people laugh.
"Marty," Tomlin says, "is one of the most adorable, funny guys ever. And Campbell is the same way. He's very dry, and they're both very quick. And if you're preparing for a really deep scene, you have to go off and throw a blanket over your head or something because they'll just keep the frivolity going."
The hallmark of "Damages" is its and nonlinear plotlines — with glimpses of the future shown before returning to the present-day narrative. This created some obsessive fans who can't wait to find out what happens. One of them was Tomlin.
"When I see Glenn anyplace at an event or anything, I would just jump all over her, and I'd say, 'You've got to tell us. What's going to happen? Why can't you be on every night?'"
Close says she never lets "the secrets out, and that's very easy because I know (the fans) really don't want to know."
But the real secret, Donovan says, "is that we don't know the secrets. One of the liberating things about the show as an actor is that you don't have time to judge yourself or your character. ... As actors, we love to know our arc and stuff like that, but I find it just so much fun to not know."
Close agrees, and after two seasons of acting in scenes she wasn't always sure were about, the one thing she knows is that the producers and writers aren't giving anything away.
The other mystery of the show is trying to figure out whether Patty is good or bad.
"I think Patty's goals are always pretty good," Close says. She doesn't like bullies. She fights for people who can't fight. On the other hand, the actress admits that "Patty doesn't want to lose, and she'll do whatever she needs to do not to lose."
Tomlin, though, relishes the idea of wearing a black hat, joking she's always asking the producers to make her character bad.
"You are bad," quips Close, then adds, "I think it's all Leonard, myself. I think he's the worst. He's probably the baddest of the bad."
Tomlin, Short a thrill on cast of 'Damages'

Last Friday I visited the new Rikyu hair salon at Sukhumvit 24 for a haircut with my favourite Yohji. After a year of long hair It just happened that I just woke up and decided to give my neck's back some fresh air breathe. Lucky enough, HEAD & TOE , the new notion of hair and feet interpreted by Rikyu and Muzina, was exhibiting on the 2nd floor. So I sneaked in.
Tag: boy rikyu
A Brand new day with Boy Rikyu BKK
Dear diary, It's the long-weekend Sunday morning! My idea of long weekend is that it is perfect for giving your tiresome self some nice treats, isn't it? While everybody else might go out and fight for his/her space on the road towards the countryside, I chose to refresh myself with good places nearby instead. I used to cut my hair short with Yoji at BOY Rikyu Siam Square,but the place I'm taking you today is their another branch at 49 Terrace, Sukhumvit 49. "Rikyu by Boy Tokyo", is a famous hair salon from Tokyo that does not only offer salon work, they are also interested in art, fashion and lifestyle of Thai-Japanese cross culture. "We hope that our customers feel happier and start their brand new day with their new hair style." is the motto they keep at work.

Student-Teacher Dating
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A 41-year-old teacher leaves his wife and his three children to date one of his high school students - and there's nothing illegal about it.
A California lawmaker is hoping to change that with a bill that would make such relationships a felony, even if the student is 18, and strip teachers of their pensions and retiree health care.
The bill is a response to the case of Modesto high school teacher James Hooker, who quit his job and moved in with 18-year-old student Jordan Powers.
The couple has defended their relationship on national talk shows, saying it did not turn sexual until Powers was of age.
Republican Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen, of Modesto, said there must be consequences for teachers who seduce their pupils, no matter the student's age.

Straphangers Rate Subway Lines From Best To Worst
Pity riders of the C train, named by the Straphangers Campaign as New York's worst subway line for the third year in a row. But the C train was not alone — it tied with the No. 2 train for last place.
Researchers from Straphangers found both lines to be crowded and prone to delays. While riders pay a base fare of $2.25 to ride the lines, the advocacy group rated their value at 90 cents.
Despite those poor performances, the system as a whole didn't fare too badly in this year's report.
Straphangers said the best of New York's twenty subway lines was the J/Z, which runs from Broad Street in Manhattan to to Jamaica, Queens. The J/Z scored above average in trains arriving at regular intervals, seats available during rush hour and miles between breakdowns.
Subway trains in general were more robust in 2010. They broke down an average of every 270,000 miles — a 15 percent improvement over 2009. Cleanliness and the quality of car announcements remained high at 95 percent and 87 percent, respectively, for all trains.
To take one example of best vs. worst from the report, riders on the 6 line could expect a train every two and a half minutes during rush hour; riders on the C waited 9 to 10 minutes throughout the day.
To see how your subway line fared, read the report here.

Business Inflation Expectations Rise Slightly in March
March 21, 2012
In the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's monthly business inflation survey of firms in the Sixth Federal Reserve District, respondents indicated their inflation expectations for the coming year are 2.0 percent. That number, which is measured by the rise firms anticipate in their year-ahead unit costs, is up from 1.9 percent in February. The survey was conducted March 12–16 with 162 firms responding to questions about their business conditions, inflation outlook, and potential pricing pressures.

Wildfires, The Villettes, A Sunny Day in Glasgow
Mon., July 21, 2014, 9pm get tickets
912 Red River, 512/666-0877
A Sunny Day in Glasgow occasionally refers to itself as a family. In this case, that means your standard phoner turns into conference call with a cell phone on speaker mode passed between five band members. "Whenever you're spending 24 hours with each other it's unavoidable that you want the best for everyone," says guitarist Josh Meakim. "I'm the dad, Ben [Daniels] is also the dad, Adam [Herndon] is the little baby, and Jen [Goma] is also the dad." The sextet has plied fractured, beery psych-pop that both confounds and enthralls since 2006, music made by people who like breaking the rules. Fourth full-length Sea When Absent arrives after a four-year break, recorded remotely as the group is now spread out from Brooklyn to the project's original home of Australia. "Going on tour is like vacation for me," says Meakim. "It's the reward for working on the record. It's like going swimming or something. We all approach it differently; for some it's the fun thing they do outside of their careers." That makes sense. Bassist Ryan Newmyer, for instance, works as a prop assistant, while founder Ben Daniels works as a biostatician. Every couple of years they and their cohorts set aside their grownup jobs and hit the road. Not a bad setup for a happy life. "My dad tries to listen to the records," crackles a voice from somewhere in the van when asked if their parents enjoy the band. "I think he gets a kick out of the weirdness." – Luke Winkie

After their dismal season, Manchester United are planning a big summer of transfers, to get themselves back to the foot of the Premier League table. Whilst Louis van Gaal may be busy with his attempts to leading Holland into the knockout stages of the World Cup, back in Manchester Ed Woodward and his team will be busy lining up targets, just a month after the season ended.
One of the big names being linked with the Red Devils is Arturo Vidal. The Juventus midfielder scored 11 goals in Serie A last season, whilst setting up another 5 for his teammates. The Chilean continued his scoring form in the Champions League too, scoring 5 goals from their 6 group games.
One of the key players in Chile's squad that has made it through the group stage of the World Cup, Vidal is one of the hottest midfielders right now, and would light up Old Trafford next season. So who else could move with Vidal and change United's fortunes after their last campaign? Here are 6 players who could follow the midfielder to M16 this summer.
United have been heavily linked with the Bayern Munich midfielder even before the two teams played each other in the Champions League back at the start of April. Despite having to fight for a place with Thiago, Robben, Ribery, Shaqiri, Javi Martinez and Schweinsteiger, The 24-year-old actually made more appearances in the league for Bayern than the rest, as the Bavarians dominated the Bundesliga. It's not just Pep Guardiola who is a fan of the midfielder. Joachim Löw has picked Kroos for all 3 of Germany's World Cup fixtures so far, as the nation topped Group G, titled the group of death.
The 24-year-old's current deal at the Allianz Arena expires at the end of next season, meaning this is Bayern's only chance to receive a transfer fee for the midfielder should Kroos look to leave the Bundesliga champions. Bayern want the midfielder to extend his deal, but have refused to exceed financial boundaries in order to keep the midfielder. With United ready to pounce, could they be adding one of Germany's best midfielders to their squad?
Another German, and another top player that could join United. Hummels is one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga, with two league titles and a Champions League runners-up medal to his name. Strong at the back and tough in the air, Hummels would be an ideal replacement for Nemanja Vidic, who has moved to Inter Milan this summer. With United looking for a new captain and new leader at the back, the 25-year-old would certainly fill the gaps left by Vidic, and secure up United's leaky defence.
Now Dortmund's time at the top of the Bundesliga has passed, with Guardiola's Bayern Munich dominating the league last season, Hummels could easily be tempted to change things up and join United, especially as they are about to start a new chapter with van Gaal in charge. With everybody around Old Trafford anticipating an enjoyable future with the Dutch manager, Hummels may see this as the perfect time to try life in England.
Possibly Fergie's biggest embarrassment, although we're sure he had his reasons, Pogba was allowed to leave Old Trafford for free in 2012, but is fast becoming one of the hottest youngsters in world football. Vidal's teammate at Juventus, the Frenchman has become a star player for the Old Lady, at just 21-years-old. Pogba scored 7 goals in Serie A last season, as he won his 2nd league title with the club, and Ed Woodward could be easily entertained by just watching some of the Frenchman's stunning strikes on YouTube.
It would be a fantastic story for Pogba to return to Old Trafford, two years after leaving on a free transfer. An exciting prospect, the Frenchman definitely wouldn't be a free transfer this summer. Juventus would be reluctant to lose such a promising midfielder, who has helped France reach the knockout stage of the World Cup. Fergie made the mistake of letting Pogba go, but van Gaal could fix things with a summer bid.
Both Vidic and Rio Ferdinand have departed Old Trafford this summer, meaning the Red Devils are light on centre-backs. But a fantastic replacement for the two would be Diego Godin. The Uruguayan has been constantly under the radar from most clubs for the last few seasons, as he's helped Atletico Madrid win the Europa League in 2012 and the Copa del Rey in 2013. But it's been during Atletico's incredible campaign this year that has earned him the headlines he deserves. Godin scored the vital equaliser against Barcelona that won the club the league, scored in the Champions League final, and scored the header to beat Italy and qualify Uruguay for the knockout stage of the World Cup.
So as well as being an arial presence going forward, Godin is also one of the top centre-backs in Spain. Strong with a great eye for reading the game and anticipating danger, the Uruguayan could make life much easier for goalkeeper David De Gea. A born leader and inspiring defender, the 28-year-old would be an ideal fit for United, and a great role model for Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.
The Bayern winger is lighting up Brazil as we speak, tearing up defences with his pace and trickery. Sergio Ramos is still out of breath after being left for dead by the Dutchman during Spain's humiliating 5-1 defeat to van Gaal's men. Robben has scored 56 Bundesliga goals for Bayern since joining them back in 2009, winning 3 league titles and the Champions League during that time. But is it time, 7 years since he last played in the Premier League for Chelsea, that he moves back to England?
With morale high in the Dutch camp at the World Cup, van Gaal could easily tempt Robben to join him at Old Trafford this summer. A new chapter for van Gaal could be made much easier by a familiar face with the pace and ability Robben has. At 30-years-old, the former Real Madrid winger will soon have to think about whether he has unfinished business in England, with the opportunity to play against Chelsea in their rivals' colours.
The Barcelona winger has been heavily linked with a move away from the Camp Nou this summer, with Liverpool the favourites to pick up the attacker. But United could swoop in and steal their rivals' target, adding some well needed pace and flair to their attack. The Chilean lit up the La Liga stage last campaign, scoring 19 goals for the Catalan side, enjoying the time without Lionel Messi in the side. 3 seasons for Barca, 38 goals. Not a bad return for the 25-year-old.
As he prepares to face his club mate Neymar in the knockout stages of the World Cup, Sanchez could bring some needed consistency to the attacking midfield at Old Trafford. Nani has rarely been reliable in a United shirt, whilst Kagawa has struggled to get regular first-team football, be it under the management of Ferguson or Moyes. But Sanchez could easily make himself a key member of United's attack, linking up with Mata to cause mayhem for opposition defences.

The Broadband Explosion: are you ready?
Five steps you should factor into your contingency plan are highlighted, including creating return on investment for new technology.
Use whatever analogy you want—bedrock, keel, foundation, guiding light—an effective strategy allows you to make decisions. By rigorously analyzing your environment, core strengths, customer requirements and competitive offerings, you develop a strategy that enables decision-making regarding how to invest resources, where to direct energy and how to manage time. Most important, it makes rapid decisions possible, without the hesitation that allows windows of opportunity to slam shut or competitors to gain a lead.
If the strategy includes thorough contingency planning, it can facilitate decision-making even when there is a massive disruption in your environment, customer base or competitive ranks. A few years ago, the Internet blew apart strategic planning because it introduced technology that exploded every element of an organization's business. Amongst the swirl of hype, buzzwords and VC excesses, many companies experienced strategic paralysis. The dust has now settled, allowing key strategic considerations to come into focus, and companies have begun to grasp how to integrate the Internet into their overall strategy. Unfortunately, contingency planning has remained a challenge and, if the writers of a new book are correct, is about to become much more difficult.
The authors of The Broadband Explosion, Stephen Bradley and Robert Austin, suggest that the age of true broadband may be finally arriving. They define the broadband explosion as: "the coming together of real-time communication and rich media technologies to produce a truer form of interactivity across geographic distance than has been possible up until now." They argue that this explosion has implications for "how business strategy, production technologies, and marketing—to name just a few—may be changed dramatically."
In an interview with the Harvard Business School newsletter, Austin offers three insights that he hopes business leaders will gain from the book:
There will be a qualitative shift in what we can achieve when reliable bandwidth reaches a certain point. While there is debate about where the point is, even at 10 megabits per second (20x faster than a cable modem), we will begin to find new ways to add value and "this will change a lot about how businesses operate and also about what they can sell and how they sell it."
Most of the broadband benefits will arise from things we can't see clearly right now. We witnessed the same issue when people received massive increases in computing power, and used it to do the same things faster—like process pay cheques—before visionaries used that power to change the way we interacted with computers. "Back then, people who said, 'What will we use all that computing power for?' were surprised by how useful it was and the ways it turned out to be useful," says Austin. "Today we have some skeptics saying pretty much the same thing: 'What will we do with all that bandwidth?' I suspect the answers will be similarly surprising."
Increased bandwidth will create a more interactive experience in communication. "This has the potential to supercharge innovation, because we can prototype more ideas and share them with each other much more rapidly," observes Austin. "That's on the supply side of the economy. On the demand or marketing side, the new technology may allow us to match more customers with just what they want, by employing a strategy that Eric Clemons and his coauthors in a chapter in the book call 'Hyperdifferentiation.'"
So how does technology that will alter essentially all elements of your Internet strategy factor into your contingency planning? Clearly, you can't ignore broadband. But if the best minds at a Harvard colloquium don't know what its implications will be, and the technology isn't yet a reality, you probably don't need to factor it into next quarter's plan.
Steps you should take today, however, to begin factoring broadband into your contingency plan and Internet strategy include the following. It's all going to seem like common sense, but as we saw with the first advent of the Internet, common sense was the first casualty (Remember the customer-free business models?).
Make sure your strategy is up-to-date, disseminated and is guiding decision-making. One value of impending disruption, like the advent of broadband, is that it creates a compelling motivation for the entire organization to take strategy seriously. Take the dust test: if your copy of the strategic binder has any on it, it's time for a refresh. Also, if there's only one binder, you may need to get the team together so the strategy is being shared and utilized. Finally, if there's no binder at all, the first step is obvious.
Ensure you are maximizing existing Internet technology. As the old saying goes: "Now is not the time to be doing nothing." Whenever pundits espouse massive change, there can be a tendency to take a "wait and see" attitude and put projects on hold while committees study potential implications. Very few organizations are maximizing such available opportunities as blogging, which Prescient Digital Media's President, Toby Ward, has been very passionate about evangelizing. Maximizing the technology doesn't mean investing in software, hardware or integration, either. It could be better understanding how you are interacting with customers or what processes you have put in place to utilize Web-enabled technology.
Know your customers. There has never been a more important time for ensuring that customer knowledge/intimacy/satisfaction are not just clichés in your organization. The Internet has taught us the value of permission-based marketing, but it has also demonstrated the importance of customer permission: how will your customers permit you to communicate with them and what will your customers permit you to sell to them. The Internet spawned exciting new companies like Amazon which found innovative ways to communicate with and sell to customers. It also rewarded existing players that grasped how to reinvent themselves while still delivering a consistent brand experience. And it punished companies that disappointed customers by behaving in ways in which their customers had not permitted. As Bradley and Austin point out, broadband will fundamentally alter how you communicate with customers and what you sell to them. But as we discovered with the first wave of the Internet, no technology allows a company to make decisions that don't include a detailed knowledge of customer permission.
Ensure your team is educated and sharing knowledge. Whether it's on-line learning, reading books like the Broadband Explosion, taking bricks-and-mortars courses or attending seminars, there have never been more educational resources available to employees. With downsizing, e-mail overload and an explosion in information, unfortunately, there has never been less time to utilize those resources. Nonetheless, statistics consistently demonstrate that learning organizations outperform their competition. You need to ensure that your performance management system includes objectives for constant education, and your communications infrastructure permits team members to efficiently share their knowledge. In our experience, this is an area in which many companies can still score quick wins. Too few companies that have deployed a Content Management System, for example, are enjoying the full benefits of the system, and leading companies are only now beginning to fully create productivity gains from such innovations as integrating blogs into a community of practice.
Know how to create an ROI for new technology. Possibly the single biggest lesson of the Internet is that you can't ignore the bottom-line: every dollar you spend must result in more than one dollar being saved or earned. The Internet and web-enabled technology complicate ROI calculations, because they often require calculating seemingly intangible factors, but it can be done. One encouraging sign for us is that the most popular download on our busy web site is the Finding ROI White Paper. When broadband really hits, those organizations and managers that have come to grips with creating an ROI for their CMS or Intranet will have a significant edge on their competitors who will be only beginning to climb the learning curve of this complex and important task.
This advice is all common sense, but it's also a lot of work. That effort, combined with our gerbil-on-a-wheel lifestyle, probably explains why everyone knows they need to take these actions, but few get around to them. Nonetheless, we all know examples of companies which have taken the time to put a strong strategy in place, complete with a thorough contingency plan, and are then able to make effective, quick decisions when their world changes. We've also seen companies in which the leadership team sits in the boardroom, looks at each other and says: "What's going on, and what are we going to do…?"
The threat and opportunity that will be created by the impending broadband explosion should motivate us to engage in the fundamentals of strategy, especially contingency planning. We may not know when the broadband explosion will occur, and what the impact will be, but we do know that it will require us to make decisions. And history has shown us that the organizations that make the best decisions have the best strategy.

Instruments of Night (1998)
by Thomas H. Cook
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An excellent psychological thriller in the beautiful writing of Cook.
I liked this book so much, I went out and got another by the same author the day after finishing it.
Having read some other reviews, I agree that it IS graphically violent in parts, though that violence is a large part of why everything else happens the way it does and how the characters become the people they are.
There are (at least) two big twists in the plot. One could have been predictable if I'd put the book down long enough to really think about it, but the other is just completely out of left field. Wait... I really shouldn't use sports analogies. lol. It's completely unexpected but it doesn't seem contrived. (Although I guess everything in a novel actually *is* contrived.)
It's part mystery, part horror/thriller, and I got tears in my eyes at the end. I'm so glad I picked up this book randomly and that the author has written enough other books to keep me going for a little while.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553578200, Mass Market Paperback)Paul Graves is a crime writer obsessed with a single crime--the murder of his own teenaged sister on their Southern farm almost 40 years before. To work out his guilt and fear, he has created a series of mysteries set at the turn of the century, in which a dedicated detective pursues a fiendish killer called Kessler--the real name of the man who slaughtered his sister. His obsession has made Graves a sad, lonely man, "living thinly, without connections," already preparing to kill himself when he can no longer write his books.
Keeping readers interested in a dark and brooding character like Graves is no easy task, and Thomas H. Cook--who won an Edgar for his superb The Chatham School Affair--needs all his narrative skills to avoid sinking us in a sea of gloom. Invited to Riverwood, a Hudson River Valley estate turned into a writers' retreat, to help solve a 50-year-old mystery involving the death of a young woman, Graves is assisted by a shrewd and sympathetic playwright, Eleanor Stern. Together, they sift through all the clues linking the dead girl to the wealthy family who owned the estate. Old-fashioned detective work plays a large part in discovering what really happened, as well as the too-convenient appearance of files and live witnesses from the period. As for Graves and his disconcerting habit of slipping back into the past at more and more frequent intervals ("You're always imagining things, aren't you? Terrible things," one character says to him), a final revelation about his personal demons turns out to be no surprise at all. Other, more satisfying Cook books available in paperback include Evidence of Blood and Breakheart Hill. --Dick Adler

In upstate New York, an aging mother wonders why someone would murder her daughter, killed as a little girl fifty years earlier. So a friend with money hires novelist Paul Graves to write, not necessarily the truth since the crime was never solved, just something to put the mother's mind at rest. Who knows, in the process he might even discover the truth.… (more)

Here's a video talkthrough straight from the NAMM 2014 show floor of the brand new Reloop TM8 Serato DJ controller.
It's a controller that builds on the Terminal Mix 4, improving some of the ergonomics, and crucially adding full dual-mode RGB performance pads, a first in the Reloop range.
We liked the way the RGB performance pads are dual use, in that pressing each selector a second time dials in a related but different mode. The way they've handled scrolling through samples is particularly neat.
It's all explained clearly in the video, but basically if you're a fan of Reloop's products (build quality and jogwheels are the standout things in our view of Reloop's range), yet you've wanted a controller with sample pads built in too, I reckon you'll love this. Price is €579.
So, do you think this looks good having seen the video? Has Reloop got the form factor / feature set about right? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Make Number Rubbings
Kids love using crayons for just about everything, even things we don't want them to be used on! Put this art streak to good use by introducing them to "rubbings." They'll work the small muscles in their hands and improve eye-hand coordination, which are both key for writing! Plus, they'll experiment with different surfaces, while they practice their numbers.
What You Need:
- paper
- black marker
- 10 pieces of blank paper with one block number written on each
- at least 10 objects with lots of different textures (sandpaper, homemade paper, leaves, coins,…etc.)
- safety scissors
- pencil
- crayons
- lined paper
What You Do:
- Draw the numbers 1-10 on blank pieces of paper, with one number per sheet. Make these numbers big, blocked, and outlined so that your child can color the numbers in.
- Show your child how she can make a cool design on paper, by "rubbing" a crayon across a piece of paper that's on top of an unusual texture.
- Sit your child down at a table with the stack of numbers and a variety of textures to work with. Explain to her that for each page, she is going to match the number with the correct amount of textures. For example, for the "3" page, she'll find three objects with different textures to rub under the paper, in order to form a design. She might use: one coin, one leaf, and one comb.
- Help your child with the first page. Show her how to lay an item on the table (for example, the sandpaper), and then lay the printed out template page on top of it. Using a bare crayon, turned on its side, show her how to press down while rubbing the crayon on the white paper to form the rubbing.
Easy? Yes. Fun? You bet. But also a great lesson in math. This activity helps preschool kids connect written numbers with the amount of objects they represent. And it has some pre-writing and science experimentation thrown in, too.

Pacific Rim - 'At the Edge' TV Trailer
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.06.25
Still on the fence about Guillermo del Toro's mega-size monster brawl "Pacific Rim?" Well, here's something that will likely win you over -- it's a two-minute TV trailer that aired during Monday's night debut of Stephen King's series "Under the Dome." Featuring plenty of Darth Vader-like breathing, the new preview offers a peek at how humanity's last line of defense -- a modest army of human-operated fighting robots called Jaegers led by Idris "We are canceling the apocalypse" Elba -- prepare for what is presumably a final battle with Godzilla-like creatures that have mysteriously risen from the ocean floor.
The film, itself, follows two elite Jaeger pilots (Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi) who must learn to work in unison in order to save the human race from extinction. You'll be able to see if they can cancel the apocalypse when "Pacific Rim" arrives in theaters on July 12th.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Pacific Rim stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff, Brad William Henke

We hear an awful lot about breastfeeding being great for babies and great for moms. It reduces the incidence of all sorts of illnesses such as ear infections and gastroenteritis in the baby and ovarian cancer in mothers. Breastfeeding is the biologically normal way to feed a baby, and as such it promotes optimal human development. But breastfeeding is about more than the milk. There are some hidden benefits of breastfeeding that researchers can't quite test or pinpoint with double-blind trials. I thought I'd name just a few for me, and perhaps you'd like to add some comments about your own.
First, travel. I live so far away from any family members that I do an awful lot of travelling. When I'm on a flight, breasfteeding my baby is so easy. We can do it discretely and comfortably, and people around me hardly notice. The sucking action helps relieve the pressure on his ears during take-off and landing, I don't need to wait for the seat-belt sign to go off to retrieve any feeding equipment and no one needs to heat up a bottle for me. If we're driving, we just pull over in a safe place and I pop him on the breast.
Second, it's free. I'm not a person who enjoys shopping and I am frugal by nature. What sort of equipment does a breastfeeding mom actually need? Very little, I would argue. I spent my working life with destitute people. They couldn't afford snazzy nursing bras or high-tech breast pads let alone an expensive pump or nursing cover. They got on just fine thank you with a regular bra, a cut up towel or tissues and a blanket. Now I'm not saying that we should all throw away the stuff that makes breasfteeding more convenient like bras and breast pads. What I'm saying here is that breastfeeding is a great equaliser: all women can do it regardless of social status. You don't need to spend money to breastfeed. I saved money by breastfeeding my babies and enjoyed the simplicity of staying out of the shops.
Third, it was something I couldn't forget. With three children to get out the door every day I would always forget something, and usually something important. Some days I would look in the rear-view mirror and count heads and thank my lucky stars that I had remembered all three children! Fortunately I can't forget my breasts– they're attached, so the cafe travels with me. My baby can have a drink whenever he needs it and I don't have to root in my bag (where there is inevitably a mouldy banana lurking) to discover I forgot it. Phew!
Lastly (but certainly not the least– in the interest of space I am stopping here!), I love good food and serving my family healthy food with natural ingredients. I try not to buy foods that have long ingredient lists, foods that make health claims, or ones that have ingredients that I don't recognise or can't pronounce. My milk is the ultimate in simple, pleasurable, delicious, healthy food for my infant. It is exactly what he was hoping would be on special that day and every day.
So that's my short list of what I love about breastfeeding my baby– the hidden benefits for me. What about you?

Cheryl I really dont think this is Mr.Lynch posting anyways. Mr.Lynch would be a registered Topix user and his name would be in green box when he posts.<quoted text>
"Lynch wrote:
...if you know of anyone that is involved in a conspiracy to bring harm to Kevin lynch contact the FBI and the Justice Department.
I have sent a list of possible members of the FPD who may have knowledge of such a conspiracy.
This is turning into a situation where we may have to take matters into our own hands in reference to defending ourselves. CNN has been written. People will be held accountable."
Did the FBI ever get back to you? The Justice Department? How about CNN? I'll bet that after receiving hundreds of letters from you every month that they all know that you're a kook.
Also anyone can register as Mr.Lynch on here so even having a registered name doesnt mean anything.
I have a feeling alot of people are wasting their time replying to Mr.Lynch who most likely isnt even on here.
Even on Facebook anyone can register and start an account as being him and post on other Facebook sites.
It wouldnt make any sense why Mr.Lynch would talk about his idea of corruption online and not actually in person as when he was running for councilor. If he wanted to make his point he would be talking to the press at these searches and asking why public safety isnt out there in full force every day.

Wife and I have been together for 14 years, married 10, and have a 2 1/2 year old son. We've been going to marriage counseling for probably close to two years (and two different counselors), and I don't really feel like we're making much, if any, progress. She also suffers from anxiety and depression, which I feel is the biggest hurdle (she is on meds)
I'm curious what the success rate is for couples in counseling, how long you saw a counselor, how long you've been married etc. I'm not trying to say that I'm perfect in our marriage or anything like that, but I feel that I get a lot of blame for **** that she makes up in her head (and the counselor has agreed in the past), and I'm trying to decide when enough is enough.

Asia PR News, 1/10/12
Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer Haier (1169.HK) has unveiled new technologies for its 2012 product lineup at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, highlighting its new TV sets.
Haier has revealed that its new TV sets for 2012 will deliver a "cloud living" experience that acts as a hub, receiving and transmitting information directly to and from other terminals such as cell phones and computers. Furthermore, its new TVs will be able to act as a remote control for washing machines, PCs, and other Haier appliances in the home.
Another technology development unveiled by Haier is its virtually edgeless (frameless) cloud TV set, which enhances the user's visual experience by taking the picture beyond the frame for both 2D and 3D formats. In terms of solely 3D developments, Haier unveiled its glasses-free 3D TV, which removes the need for consumers to wear 3D glasses to view three-dimensional content.
In a further development, Haier has also showcased its newly upgraded brain wave technology. This solution changes the interaction between the user and their TV by giving users the power to control the TV - from changing channels to volume level - with their mind.
