Product that helped me with Flat Top
Has anyone here tried Loreal Everstyle Volume Root Lifting Spray? I spray the roots with it after putting gel in and then use the the metal clips. I am impressed with it! I have very fine, flat hair and this gives it some hold and lift and it is alcohol-free and cheap!
Interesting! Flat top is one of my pet peeves. Is it like hair spray?
It is like a liquid spray.
I HATE flat top hair...I need to try this soon!!... Im up for anything that will give me volume:afro: :love5:
Just make sure you also use clips with it. I put the metal clips in like clothes pins.
technique to help prevent flat top
my hair has been not flat for quite a while, not root curl, but just perked up. however, there are days when i leave in too much conditioner and i can tell after i blot and scrunch my hair i will have flat top.
what i've been doing (actually got the idea watching my daughter refresh my granddaughters' 3c curls, and this she got from our hairstylist) is taking random sections on top that seem to be 'stuck' to head, or under other curls, and i twirl them. nothing precise, just picking up sections here and there from the top that seem they are weighed down or caught under another section of hair, and giving them a twirl and setting them down.
it's not that it gives me root curl (i do have a very few random 3b curls on the crown, but the hair i am talking about is typical 3a, flat at the root), it seems to give it more 'umph!.' wave/curl. it takes me about 10-20 seconds to do this. and it makes a big difference.
Thanks rbb! I might try that technique with the root lifter product.
Hmmmm. Two things to try together :pl:
I looked for the root lifter and was told it was all sold out - so maybe we are on to something here!
I bought the last one at my local Duane Reade. It must be popular!

He liked bull-fighting and he became a torero at twenty-four, just as he might have chosen any other trade.
When the tournament was ended, and we were hauled back to the river-side, the torero was not with us.
Montes introduced the modern style in the art of the torero.
Only a year ago she sent a wreath to the funeral of Frascuelo, the torero.
The torero was to realize his desire of building a house for his mother.
But whether a man is muletero, vaquero, or torero, what matters it?
He was the perfect and characteristic type of a torero, such as Spanish fancy has always imagined it.
For no matter how brave a torero may be, it is never certain that he will come out of the arena alive.
They found the Gaditanos raving of a torero who performed prodigies of skill and courage.
To their wives is due much of the making and all the keeping up of the elaborate and costly dress of the torero.

Continued FOIA requests weighing on Belding city manager
BELDING — The drama that has unfolded due to numerous amount Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests from one resident to the city of Belding does not appear to be ending anytime soon.
Members of Belding City Council voted to deny six FOIA appeal requests during Tuesday evening's City Council meeting, while voting to reverse the denial, in part, of a seventh appeal, all coming from Belding resident Kimberly Orlich.
The six appeals that were denied by city council, as recommended by City Manager Meg Mullendore, were done so for reasons ranging from particular documents that Orlich was requesting not existing to the appeals not meeting the criteria of the official FOIA appeal process.
Each appeal was denied unanimously with council member Tom Jones absent from Tuesday's meeting.
Mullendore has previously stated the majority of the FOIA requests coming from Orlich are not being filed in the general interest of the public, but rather, for her own personal interests.
Orlich, who was not in attendance at Tuesday evening's meeting, has stated previously that she has been using the FOIA process to "bring to light" facts to the public.
The Daily News reported on Sept. 12 that Orlich had filed 175 FOIA requests to the city within a six-month period beginning Jan 1.
According to Mullendore, as of Tuesday evening, that figure has climbed to 255 total requests from Orlich to the city.
Council members did not speak on the topic of any of the seven appeals during the meeting, however, Mullendore expressed her frustration at the conclusion of Tuesday's meeting.
"I have this huge frustration with the FOIA situation and I just want to put things in perspective," Mullendore said. "This is not funny anymore, it's ridiculous. A community of this size, expending this level of monetary and staff resources, is absolutely ridiculous. I'm all about transparency, but this is abuse in its greatest form."
Mullendore said she recently reached out to the city clerk of East Lansing to query about their total number of FOIA requests over the past two years.
Mulledore said East Lansing has an approximate population of 48,579 while Belding has approximately 5,800 residents.
According to Mullendore, the city of East Lansing received 270 FOIA requests within the last two years.
"In 26 months, that city has received 270 FOIA requests total," she said. "As of today, we are at approximately 255 FOIA requests from one individual, with 260 in total FOIA requests to the city."
Mullendore estimates the amount of time she is putting in to answering and denying the FOIA requests has ranged anywhere from 45 to 50 percent of her total time during a single week.
"We have two months left in the calendar year and at the rate we are going, at 25 FOIA requests per month, we'll see more than 300 by Dec. 31," she said. "I can tell you right now my time is being spent closer to 45 to 50 percent on these FOIA requests."
By law, Mullendore is required to respond to every FOIA requests she receives.
Orlich has not collected any of the FOIA request she has submitted that have been approved as she refuses to pay the fees associated with each FOIA request, which include city staff time, postage and paper, because she has stated that she is indigent and cannot afford to pay.
Mullendore has not waived the fees because she claims the requests are not being pursued in the interest of the public good.
Though Mullendore said she is handcuffed by the laws bound to the FOIA process, she plans to testify in front of legislators in Lansing at some point in the future regarding legislation pertaining to the FOIA process.
Electrolux update
According to Mullendore, the year-long demolition process of the Belding Bros. Clock Tower and adjoining Gibson buildings formerly located at the corner of Bridge and Main streets, is continuing along as scheduled.
Mullendore said she has been in communication with Environmental Lawyer John Heer, who represents Electrolux, owner of the 4-acre property.
"The demolition and removal of all buildings and structures is complete," Heer said in a letter to Mullendore. "Electrolux is now placing soil and landscaping on the property so that it looks aesthetically pleasing and consistent with its future use as a public park. We expect the soil cover work to be completed in the next few weeks followed by grass seeding and landscaping."
According to Heer, Electrolux has been working with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) to ensure all work on site is done properly.
"Electrolux is also working with the MDEQ to ensure that any environmental conditions on the property are properly addressed," he said. "That cooperative working relationship continues as the MDEQ monitors the applicable activities."
Electrolux has until March of 2014 to have the property made suitable for the creation of a city park.

Product Review: Logitech's Z320 Speaker System
The Z320s
While I have a pretty well put together PC at home, I tend to do a lot of my work on my laptop and subsequently spend more time on it than the rig at my desk. Given that I'm on it all the time, I find myself listening to music quite a bit and even doing a little bit of gaming. While my laptop gets the job done, one area where it's sorely lacking in performance is its sound. Granted, most people don't expect much out of their tiny built-in laptop speakers and neither do I, but it's nice to be able to use something better which is where Logitech's Z320 speaker system comes into play.
The speakers come with a nice glossy finish with a well built knob for volume in the front and a side jack for headphone use. They fell well made too as they have a bit of heft to them and don't appear to be some cheaply concocted speakers that could break from a little tip-over. At 10 watts, they dish out some pretty good sound, specifically with mid to high frequencies. Having played a variety of Michael Jackson music, along with some hip hop, I was pleased with how well the speakers performed; capturing the vocals quite nicely. Of course, it's not a full test unless I dig into some gaming which is why I pulled out Battlefield 2, Fable and Battlefield 2142 – yes I like Battlefield, so what?
Again, the sound effects, ranging from a magazine full of ammo to tanks blowing stuff up and various battle sequences, I felt fully immersed with what I was experiencing. The speakers claim they have 360-degree sound, so I made sure to place them in different locations and positions and the results were pretty much the same. Regardless of where I put them, I managed to get quality sound.
If I had one complaint, it would be the lack of a subwoofer. Though they do give you a little bit of bass, there's no sub to give it that extra pop especially when playing them very loud. At extremely loud volumes, I got a bit of a crackle when my source had a lot of bass; whether it was from music or from a game. It would've been nice to at least have the ability to play with the bass/treble to fine tune it but alas, it wasn't an option.
The 411
All in all, the speakers are pretty good, and I even used them on a few occasions on my desktop just to give them more play time. If you're searching for a good pair of speakers that won't break the bank (at $59.99) while still getting your money's worth, the Z320s are a solid option. Just be weary of turning them up too loud when there's plenty of bass expected.

Shared Access Email Addresses
Shared email addresses are of two types one is to allow the origination of emails to groups that come from an address like Office of the President. This type of address generally does not receive email, although it could. The second type is set up to receive mail and allow for distributing the work among staff. For example, firstname.lastname@example.com receives mail which is then processed by many admissions counselors.
An account is created which is not tied to an individual but rather to a group of individuals. The administrator for the shared account (account administrator) determines which individuals are to have access to the mailbox and maintain account access membership (adding and removing members). Individuals who process the information are called delegates.
To view the shared mailbox:
- Click on the triangle to the right of your email address in the upper right corner of your mail screen.
- Click on the Switch account in the lower right of the drop down window.
- Select the appropriate account.
This opens a new window in your browser to process mail in the shared account.
As a delegate you may:
- See all the mail in the account.
- Attach labels to the mail.
- Archive the mail (This simple removes the Inbox label from the item).
- Reply to a message or originate a new message from this account.
- Email that you send will be sent From: firstname.lastname@example.com by your address.
- So this tracks who responded to any message in the account.
- You can for example attach a label that indicates who is taking care of each message. Since you can attach multiple labels to any message, you could also attach a label that identifies the status of the processing.
This approach to Shared Access Email Addresses
- Allows you to track all the mail in and out of the account
- Keep track of who responded to each email
- Track the actions of every person with mail processor access.
To request a shared or delegated email address/mailbox, please fill out the form below.

In 2000 the Society inaugurated an annual prize for economics writing in memory of Tadeusz Rybcynski, an eminent economist and former SBE Chairman. It is awarded at the Society's Annual Dinner and the author(s) of the final shortlisted entries will be invited to the dinner as guests of the SBE.
The Rybczynski Prize is awarded to the best piece of writing on economics, as judged by the SBE Council (with assistance from specialist readers where appropriate). The judges look for high-quality submissions on an important real world economic issue which merits wide attention among professional economists. The style of the piece should make it accessible and interesting to an economically literate business audience.
The preferred length is 3000 words with a maximum length of 4000 words. Charts and tables are welcome but extensive use of algebra or footnotes is discouraged. The work may already be published or be original. Specially written shortened versions of longer works will be considered solely on their own merits.
The 2017 Competition is now open! For full details, please visit the Terms and Conditions page.

April 7, 2014 Minutes of the Undergraduate Council
Kathy Bratby, Colleen Chelslak, Janet Clark, Jennifer Dellaposta, Arlene Feldman, Mario Ferrone, Sarah Fuller, Jeff Ge, Kane Gillespie, Norman Goodman, Imin Kao (visitor, CEAS/Mechanical Engineering), Peter Khost, Foluso Ladiende (Mechanical Engineering), Joe Mitchell, Michael Mooney, Anne Moyer, Jean Peden, Scott Sutherland
Minutes of the February 24, March 10, March 14, and March 24, 2014 meetings
These minutes were approved with minor corrections and comments. In discussion of the March 14 minutes of the special meeting with the Provost, the UGC acknowledged that we must render our opinion to the Provost regarding the issue of the "C or better" requirement for SBC courses. Regarding the March 24 minutes, Kane will confirm the Bulletin review changes that are detailed in the minutes with Kathy.
Senate Meeting of April 7, 2014
Anne will attend and present UGC discussion points regarding seamless transfers; the comments from the UGC meeting of November 20, 2013 were particularly helpful in preparing for this discussion.
SUNY Korea: BE Degree
Visitors Imin Kao (CEAS, Mechanical Engineering) and Foluso Ladiende (Mechanical Engineering, Chair at SUNY Korea) were present to field questions regarding the proposal to offer the BE degree in Mechanical Engineering at SUNY Korea, starting the Fall of 2015.
The current situation at SUNY Korea is that one undergraduate program is currently offered (BS in Technological Systems Management). In addition, the BS in Computer Science program has been approved, and the plan is to start offering it in fall, 2014. The TSM students will start to arrive at SBU in the fall of 2014. It is expected that 40-50 students will arrive; some are delayed in doing their studies at SBU due to military service, and only those that started in the fall of 2013 will arrive in fall of 2014.
All students arriving at SBU have completed WRT 101 already.
All SUNY Korea undergraduate students will follow the SBC (not the DEC), for consistency among all cohorts. They will pay out-of-state tuition while at SBU.
In total, there are 53 undergraduate SUNY Korea students (one student was suspended due to low grades). There are 67 graduate students (47 in DTS MS program, 12 in CS PhD program, and 8 in DTS PhD program).
Imin Kao distributed a handout showing an example schedule for the BE program in Mechanical Engineering.
All courses offered at SUNY Korea are vetted with the home department here at SBU (e.g., the calculus courses are vetted by AMS here).
Norm indicated that CAPRA is raising concerns about the availability of resources for seats in SBC courses to accommodate the new influx of students on campus at SBU. The Provost's office should make a statement about resources.
SUNY Korea students coming to SBU will be housed in the ITS and GLS colleges.
Imin Kao indicated that the plan is that in 5 years, about 170 students from SUNY Korea will be attending SBU, taking 1-2 courses in TSM and about 3 other SBC courses each semester, selecting freely among SBC courses offered here.
Norm raised concern about classroom space implications of the additional students brought in by these and other programs.
Imin Kao discussed the Mechanical Engineering proposal, which includes BE, MS, and PhD programs. (The MS and PhD program proposals were already sent to SUNY; the Korean Ministry of Education suggested that they will review all 3 proposed degree programs together.)
Norm asked to what extent the Mechanical Engineering faculty at SBU were involved in the decision. Foluso mentioned that 7-8 faculty in MechE indicated interest in going to Korea.
Imin will be presenting the BE proposal to the Senate committees.
The approval of the proposed Computer Science BS program took nearly a year with the MOE.
The UGC raised concerns about students who need pre-calculus courses. The UGC also raised a concern about SUNY Korea students who do not pass (with a sufficient grade) SBC courses they take during their time at SBU; Imin Kao indicated that such students will have to retake the necessary courses and may have to stay an additional semester at SBU. The current plan is for the students to take the SBC courses in winter or summer sessions, if they do not pass with a sufficient grade. The Ministry of Education (MoE) in Korea had requested that SUNY Korea students come back to Songdo after one year of study at SBU. If they are only missing few courses, they can also seek to make up such courses with the approval of the Stony Brook's Department of Mechanical Engineering by taking transferrable courses, after they come back to Songdo. (We will identify the institutions available to provide relevant courses that are transferable.) If they are far behind the completion of SBC requirements, we will have to deal with it on a case-by-case basis (for example, requesting MoE to grant an exception for that particular student).
Sarah raised a concern about academic support; will students be adequately prepared for the "culture shock" of studying in the USA? Imin responded that at SBU, the CEAS office (e.g., Jenn) will be in charge of advising, as usual for CEAS students here. In Korea, SUNY Korea has an academic and student affairs department to handle such issues. In fact, during April 14-18, three SBU staff will travel to SUNY Korea to assist in training support staff there.
Imin mentioned that a large fraction of those hired at SUNY Korea are previously affiliated with SBU.
A question was raised whether double-certified courses in the SBC will reduce the 130 credits total required. Questions were also raised about WRT 101 and WRT 102 in Korea. Scott asked about ESL offerings. Imin indicated that many SUNY Korea students already have international training and have excellent English skills.
Respectively submitted,
Joe Mitchell

JEREMY HOBSON: Bottom line, we are not as confident about the economy as we used to be. And here to talk about that with us is TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw -- you know -- from Dr. Phil. Good morning.
DR. PHIL MCGRAW: Good morning.
HOBSON: So, what's wrong with us, Dr. Phil? Why are we so lacking in confidence?
MCGRAW: When I hear about Americans being conservative -- Americans not being confident about what's going on around them financially, to me that sounds like they're in touch with reality, not that they're being paranoid. So, to me, it seems like people are keeping their eye on the ball.
HOBSON: But do you think there's some sort of post-traumatic stress going on right now -- we're so close to what we remember so vividly, this financial crisis and the recession, that we think another one is about to happen?
MCGRAW: Well, I'm not sure that the first one is over yet, and I'm not sure that we've had a single politician yet stand up and tell us what the truth is about what's going on economically in this country. I think when people look at what's going on in the headlines, their question is how does this impact me and my family right here at 2 Elm Street? That's what they're interested in, and right now, they're not getting answers that give them a reason to have confidence, and I don't think we should be confident.
HOBSON: How is all of this economic difficulty affecting people's psychology in all kinds of other ways?
MCGRAW: You know, during difficult times, we might lose a job, we might lose a house, we might lose a car. But what would really be tragic is if we lost our family in the process. Because when there's economic trouble, that brings on stress, stress trickles down into the family -- you start playing the blame game, you start venting on one another. And the real tragedy when this turns around is not whether you have a pile of bricks, or a car -- the real test will be did you keep your family intact? Did you keep yourself intact? That's what's important and I hope people keep that in mind.
HOBSON: Dr. Phil McGraw. Thank you so much for joining us.
MCGRAW: Best to you.

As many people have written about, IronPython 1.0 was recently released. There has been a lot said about it, and most interesting has been the response from many groups with little or no connection to the Python community. The fact that the language runs on .Net is more important than most Pythoners realize yet, and there is a predicted large number of future users of Python coming in from this new area of exploration. Many developers using C# or Visual Basic will be glad to move to a fun language like Python for at least part of their projects, and the integration with the CLR makes it flawless to mix with the rest of the components. It all reminds me of a line from Victor Vernado, the black albino comedian: its all the fun of dating a black man, without the disappointing look from your father. IronPython opens the door for a lot people who were unable to move into the community, due to personal or corporate barriers to leave the safety of the Microsoft Umbrella. IronPython is a bridge between two very strong and thriving camps of software development. It will be interesting to see who and what crosses this bridge and what new connections between these two arenas will rise.
I'm personally interested in IronPython for tapping some new ground in the commercial realm, but I won't speak of it much yet. I am also keen on seeing how well IronPython will work with and be succesful in areas like game development with the new XNA technologies, Mono on non-Windows machines, PyPy related compiling functionality, and Twisted on .Net platforms.
Its surely one hell of a Brave New World.

Day 5 Is an Apocalypse Where Falling Asleep Means Instant Death
Dead people that shamble on mindlessly. Getting the blood sucked out of you. Creatures that live just beyond human perception. The best horror concepts tap into something primal. As a man in constant need of a nap, the premise of Day 5 terrifies me: If you fall asleep, you die.

Isolation Relay
I have a geothermal system installed in my home. There are two units - a hydronic heat pump and an airhandler. The airhandler is an independent system from the hydronic heat pump. The airhandler is what is connected to the thermostats in the home. The heat pump is simply controlled with a setpoint device and stores hot/cold water in a tank to be use by the airhandler and/or radiant floor heating.
The heat pump has a L terminal for faults. I have been trying to find a way to send the output of the L terminal of the heat pump to my thermostat where I can be signaled of the fault. I am troubled on how I can connect the L terminal to the zoning equipment on my air handler. I don't believe i can simply connect L terminal from the heat pump to the L terminal on the zoning equipment because they are separate 24vac circuits.
The only way is to wire L terminal to a isolation relay and wire the relay back the common. On the opposite when a fault happens the L terminal is engergized and activates the relay closing the circuit on the other side of the relay. The opposite side of the relay connects the R to the L terminal.
My question is this possible? If so, which relay can I use. I cannot seem to find a relay using 24vac 1amp on both sides of the relay. I appreciate any links to relays that will work.

- - How to teach stand command (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/how-do-i-teach-my-dog/429114-how-teach-stand-command.html)
How to teach stand command
Anyone have any helpful advice on how to begin to teach this command. We are hoping to do rally and this is one of the few things my dog doesn't have down pat yet.
Thanks for the help
Jump on YouTube, there is soooooooo many different instructional videos.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Lots of Youtube videos out there. The way I started was with my dog heeling, then stop and put my hand vertically in front of her face palm toward her eyes, much like the stay signal a lot of people use. When she picked up the idea that when I stopped and did that signal she should stay standing and not sit, I added a name "stand". Whenever I worked with the stand I tried to keep with that command until I knew she understood by working a short course with only stand and circles (no sitting) before having her go to sit or down. I also use the stand command when grooming her so she will stand still for combing those long fluffy ear hairs. Clicker training is also very helpful but you have to learn to handle the clicker, treat, and leash all at the same time. :) Have fun. Rally is a lot of good times. "Click your way to Rally Obedience" by Pamela S. Dennison is a great guide.

Westwood Village robbery suspect turns himself in to Burien Police
The December 19, 2013 robbery of the Rite Aid Pharmacy at Westwood Village took a turn last night as King County and Seattle police report that the suspect turned himself in to Burien Police last night. At the time he was described as an Asian male in his 20's 5' 3" mustache, wearing a black coat.
He passed a note to the pharmacist demanding prescription drugs. He fled the scene with an undetermined amount of drugs. Some drugs were later found to be dropped on the street not far from the scene of the robbery.
He was booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Robbery. The investigation revealed that a very similar robbery of a pharmacy had occurred in Burien a week earlier.
On April 17, Seattle Police Robbery Unit detectives interviewed the 29-year-old suspect, who provided information on both robberies.
According to Seattle Police Robbery Unit detectives will be responsible for the Seattle case and will coordinate with detectives from King County on the other case.

I used to be a really naughty boy and behaviour issues. However, the past week has been a turning point of my life. My owner found a method to train me. I finally realised that I'm not the alpha dog and learnt how to respect her as my owner and my master.
Now, I want to help all the alpha doggies out there who really should be listening to your owners. Ask your owner to go to this website: www.trainingyourpuppydog.com and read more about my story!

Korean BBQ & Wine Dinner
Saturday, August 24, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM (PDT)
August 24, 2013 at 7pm
Star King Premium BBQ
Featuring Certified Piedmontese Beef
Certified Piedmontese Beef is unlike any other. An exceptional breed of genetically superior cattle combined with a disciplined approach to animal care and husbandry produces a consistent high-quality product. Extraordinarily lean, incredibly tender, Certified Piedmontese Beef provides consumers with a healthier beef option without sacrificing flavor.
Certified Piedmontese Beef is a naturally lean, nutritious beef high in protein and low in saturated fat, total fat, and calories. Unique to the Piedmontese breed is a lean physique and heavy musculature that does not rely on fatty marbling (common in conventional breeds of cattle) to achieve tenderness. Instead, Certified Piedmontese brings you naturally lean, naturally tender beef so succulent and flavorful it will melt in your mouth.
Certified Piedmontese cattle are raised on family ranches across the vast fertile expanse of the Great Plains where they roam miles of open rangelands. Ranchers combine the most up-to-date handling and husbandry practices with classic stockmanship so cattle are raised humanely and land is managed sustainably - the way it should be.

Just a small status update regarding the shows.
PSC records on a Sunday evening and thus clashes with Easter Sunday - I think Ted and I did a show last year anyway, but this year I'll be knee-deep in family, so we're going to miss a week. I'm sure you'll have your own family time and won't miss us too much?
The main Phones Show has been hit a little by several general factors, worth noting:
- a continued decline in the number of people financially supporting the show, meaning that I've had to take on extra writing work to make ends meet.
- the critically poor health of one of my parents, a factor which may well play a bigger role as the year goes on. This factor in particular has to take absolute priority, as I'm sure you can sympathise?
- a huge number of other online video shows, often with far bigger financial resources and offering higher production values. When I started The Phones Show (as 'The Smartphones Show') in 2006, I was just about the ONLY person in the world reviewing phones in video form. Heck, even YouTube itself hadn't got going properly then. Eight years later, it's so much easier for anyone to review phones and produce video content that there are now tens of thousands of competitors.
In addition, specific to the next show, 225, in which I should be wrapping up my Galaxy S5 review by now, Samsung has essentially shafted all online retailers (e.g. Clove here), and I've been unable to get a review device yet. Immensely frustrating all round. In view of this, Phones Show 225 will be delayed by a week or two - I do have a backup review device source, hopefully delivering something mid next week.
The general factors listed above have caused me to have a rethink of the scheduling generally. I don't want to push out sub-standard shows just for the sake of it. And I also don't want to give myself a nervous breakdown trying to keep up a particular bi-weekly schedule just for the sake of it.
So, in future, Phones Shows will come out when they err.... come out! In busy times, this might be more often than once a fortnight, at other times, the gap will be longer. PSC will carry on weekly, of course.
I've asked several times whether those people who do donate, do so because of the video show or the weekly audio podcast - and the balance has been tipping in favour of the latter in recent years. I'm therefore hoping that my decision to be a bit more relaxed over Phones Show scheduling won't affect donations too much. As ever, donating to the 'Virtual Pint of Beer' club is entirely voluntary - I, and Ted, aim to provide you with quality listening (and viewing) and my hope is that enough people will recognise this and carry on subscribing.
Finally, Happy Easter and best wishes from a very sunny UK!

Western & Oriental were very helpful with the booking and made everything very easy and hassle free. The hotel was amazing! Staff are so helpful, my son cracked his head on the first night and needed two stitches (now out and is fine). The next night there were two presents in the room for him and his brother to make sure they were okay, sent by the girls on the front desk. Staff can not do enough for you to make your holiday amazing. We want to go again and highly recommend it!
I don't know where to start...from the point of booking to arriving home after our trip my daughter and I were given 5 star treatment. The booking process was a breeze, I was given such a fantastic recommendation by Neil Sutton for which I am most grateful!! So much so, that I have already begun booking our 2015 half term break with him. He provides a great deal of care and attention and after staying at Sani Beach....I trust his judgement! The hotel and the transfers and the flight were superb, we cannot wait to see Sani Beach again!!
Western & Oriental have been great at finding us the perfect holiday. The Sani resort exceeded our expectations, the service and quality of everything is amazing.

text: I damaged the PCB on my 629 and now the TS doesn't work, but everything else is fine. DigitalWW sells a 7" TS controller; I'm guessing that is the controller board from the 619? Does anyone know if I could use that controller with the 629's TS Panel? Seems straightforward enough, I just want to be sure.

Language Log has been especially lively lately, and I wanted to share some of my favorite items:
1) Comments on the news story that "Mapuche tribal leaders have accused [Microsoft] of violating their cultural and collective heritage by translating the software into Mapuzugun without their permission": Mark Liberman, Geoff Pullum.
2) Mark Liberman's post on prescriptivism in literature, with glorious extended quotes from Thomas Pynchon, Mark Twain, and Stephen Fry, not to mention the immortal "Romanes eunt domus" sequence from Life of Brian.
3) Bill Poser's post of a wonderful map of South Asia that has the name of each region written in its own alphabet.
4) And Mark Liberman doggedly pursues his continuing coverage of the issue of whether women talk more than men: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Language Log has been especially lively lately, and I wanted to share some of my favorite items:
I also had some comments (http://noncompositional.com/2006/11/dibs-on-mapudungun/) on the Mapudungan case after it was posted to slashdot – and the reaction on slashdot was also rather interesting. Sort of a prolonged and heated agreement with Geoff Pullum, given the sort of aggressive freedom-of-information position taken by most slashdotters. Without more clear information on the case, I guess I come down on the "sympathetic but somewhat skeptical" side.
Is the Brian sequence really an instance of prescriptivism? Afterall, a native speaker was correcting Brian on a wholly ungrammatical phrase.
By the way—and I say this only partly out of uncritical Anglophilia, hello John Emerson!—Stephen Fry is fucking fantastic. Read anything of his you can get your hands on, and I say that in the quiet certainty that Fry is the only author whose writing involves seх with animals of whom I ever will^H^H^H^H shall say that.
The map's pretty cool – I wonder if anyone's working on a version for the entire world?
Also, Tibet's name is not composed properly – the vowel should be atop the first glyph rather than by itself.
Re the Mapuche/Mapudungun story:
The article says that Microsoft translated (rather, had someone translate) its software so that anyone can "access the cultural riches" of the Mapuche people – not so that "the Mapuche people can have access to more information" or "communicate easily through email throughout the country" or "set up their own websites" or other wording stressing any advantages which might accrue to the Mapuche themselves. If Microsoft's wording (assuming it is quoted accurately) does not suggest to the Mapuche that Microsoft is out to rip them off without any benefit to them, I don't know what does.
Most people from large, expansive cultures (such as French, English, and a few others) can't imagine what people of small, unprivileged, often exploited groups feel when they see others appearing to benefit from what they themselves might know – especially if they are not sure of exactly what this is (we often "don't know what we know", to quote a well-known personality) because no one has bothered to consult them and explain what they were doing and why. "Our whole philosophy of life is in our language" – yes, but exactly what does that mean? the vagueness itself makes any thought of "sharing" the language with outsiders a threat (especially if the language is on its way out because even the fluent speakers do not use it that much).
Even experienced field linguists are sometimes not aware of the impact carelessly chosen words can have: speaking about language endangerment, a well-known linguist in Australia has been saying "we have to get the languages" – rather than "record" or some other more neutral as well as more accurate term. Many native people in North America are saying that "the white man took away our languages" (where did he put them?). I have heard people accusing linguists of causing words to disappear from people's mouths when they put them in dictionaries. With all these misunderstandings going on, even from relatively educated people, talking about "accessing their cultural riches" can only sound like a rip-off. No wonder the Mapuche are mad at Microsoft.
not to mention the immortal "Romanes eunt domus" sequence from Life of Brian.
Immortal, yes, but too short. I still miss the final question: "Do they all go to the same home?" — They don't, so the plural must be used, domos.
What, doesn't Latin allow a distributed object to be expressed in the singular?

Woke up at the Saga Motor Hotel in Pasadena, California. I grabbed one last complimentary breakfast of coffee, orange juice, and an English muffin with jam, and then my friend came by the Saga to pick me up in his truck.
It was a beautiful, hot (third day of near-100° heat), sunny Southern California morning. We got on I-5 and began our two-hour journey to San Diego. To think that I had started my journey in Berkeley, traveled nearly as far into the Sierra mountains as Reno, Nevada, made my way down to L.A., and now here I was, for the first time in my life, traveling south of L.A. towards the Mexican border.
On the way down I primed myself for San Diego's difference. It is the eighth largest city in the United States, but otherwise has little in common with New York. It is a city with a large U.S. Navy presence, and a long U.S. naval history. The political climate here tends to be, let's say, a bit more conservative than Berkeley. It is also a hotbed of Protestant evangelicalism, strangely located atop this city's unique status as site of the original Spanish Catholic mission in California, way back in the 18th century.
I had thought L.A. and San Diego were one and the same, blending together, but they do not really blend. After a stretch of rural So Cal nature, we approached San Diego's ultra-modern skyline. It looks like the cities I have seen in the People's Republic of China, where every skyscraper is no more than ten years old. It is — I'll just say it — an ugly skyline for a generally ugly — or at least dull — city.
But I'm staying in the coolest quarter of the uncool city, the Gaslamp District. My accommodations for the next three days is the HI-San Diego hostel on Market Street. Located in an old building, my room is on the third floor, facing an inner courtyard. During the day the room fills with light. This, of course, reminds me of Spanish-style housing — much of which we recently saw in Peru — where the finest colonial homes are built like donuts, with a gaping hole in the middle — a courtyard — that bathes the surrounding rooms with natural light.
My lovely room at the HI-San Diego hostel in the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego.
But I'm jumping ahead. Because we arrived in San Diego at 11AM, but my room would not be available for check-in until 3, so I had some hours to kill.
My plan — unsurprisingly — was to look for Hawaiian history. On this research adventure I have been so far pretty unsuccessful in locating remnants of 19th-century Hawaiian immigrant history in 21st-century California, but I have found some things. Little mentions of "Kanakas" here and there in museums and at historic sites, plus, of course, all the references to Hawaiian migrant labor I have discovered in the archives at the Bancroft Library and at the Huntington Library. Would I finally find Hawaiʻi's long shadow here in San Diego? I had to find out.
My first stop was the William Heath Davis house museum right around the corner from my hostel in the Gaslamp District.
The William Heath Davis house museum in the Gaslamp District, San Diego
Apparently people visit this house to learn about the Gaslamp Quarter, and not Davis, but I wanted to learn more about Davis. He's an interesting guy. Born in Hawaiʻi in the 1820s, his father was a ship captain (from New England, I think?) and his mother was the Hawaiian-born daughter of a haole dude involved in the Hawaiian government who had married a Native Hawaiian woman of royal lineage. So Davis was 1/4 Hawaiian.
His Hawaiian-ness has long intrigued me, because I figured it would mean something to him and he would discuss it in his writings. But perhaps identity politics were different back then in the 19th century than they are now. When Davis moved to Mexican Alta California in the 1840s and eventually stayed in California for the remainder of his life, friends (but perhaps not his real friends) got to calling him "Kanaka Bill" — "Kanaka" being a reference to his Hawaiian-ness. My feeling is that Davis didn't care very much for this nickname. It is interesting that in a copy of Davis' memoirs in the New York Public Library, someone has scribbled onto the title page the words "Kanaka Bill" right next to Davis' name.
What did it mean for people to call him "Kanaka Bill"? Was this a way of framing Davis as racially impure or inferior to "pure whites"? His memoir was published in the 1880s, at a time when white supremacy in California was at a fever pitch — think, for example, of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, and the role that white working-class anti-Chinese constituents played in bringing about that legislation. Davis' memoir basically claims that he was one of the important "pioneers" of Alta California — in a sense he is claiming an "Americanness" that was never really his (born in Hawaiʻi, he married a Mexican woman — did he become a Mexican citizen? — and only in 1848 was he somewhat forcibly integrated into the United States as a consequence of the Mexican-American War and the U.S. seizure of Alta California). He and his wife — not sure if she was criollo or mestizo — had, like, seven or more kids. I've stopped counting. And think of their identities: part-Spanish, perhaps part-Indio, part-Anglo (Yankee), 1/8 Native Hawaiian. These are complicated people, although it is not clear that they ever thought of themselves as complicated!
Anyway, I was hoping a bit of the Hawaiian would come through at the house museum, but it did not. In fact, Davis never even lived in this house; rather, it was a house he ordered built, but that he himself never lived in. What is important about the house is that it dates from the founding of "New" San Diego circa 1850, and Davis should rightfully be considered one of the "founding fathers" of this important settlement. As I will discuss shortly, the town of San Diego — that is, apart from the 18th-century Spanish mission — was established in the 1820s many miles north of where the current downtown is. The "Old Town" was situated alongside the San Diego River. "New Town," however, and this must have been Davis' genius, was situated right by the harbor. Since Davis spent much of the 1840s with his hands in trans-Pacific trade, specifically the hide and tallow trade, he knew the importance of harbor access to the commercial city. Davis' "New Town," including this old wooden house from c1850, eventually became the San Diego.
That's an interesting enough story, but it tells us little about Davis and his Hawaiian identity (or lack thereof). You can look around the house, and you see it furnished largely according to the style of the late 19th century, not circa 1850 when the house was built.
A room in the William Heath Davis house museum, San Diego
After this disappointment, I resolved to walk way across town to the harbor, and to then mosey up to the San Diego Maritime Museum.
Approaching the San Diego Maritime Museum. View of the ship Star of India (built 1863?).
I love maritime museums. But I was disappointed when I found that there was no "museum" here per se, but rather just a collection of historic boats that visitors can board and explore on their own. The admission fee was $15 which I decided wasn't worth it, so I just walked around the exterior of the boats and let my mind do the wandering. The Star of India was definitely my favorite of all the boats. It is apparently the oldest iron-hulled merchant ship that still exists (from circa 1863?). (Civil War buffs know that many iron-hulled ships were game-changers in naval warfare, but this was a merchant ship, and that is apparently its distinction.) It was built in Britain, and later, for many decades, served the Alaska canneries, I guess making sure that mainland U.S. consumers had ready access to canned salmon?
The museum also had a submarine, and even a reproduction 18th-century sailing ship. But Star of India is definitely the gem of their collection. I walked onto the only ship they would let me on without paying admission — the "gift shop" ship — and I was impressed with their maritime book selection. I picked up a cheap copy of Tales of the Pacific, a collection of short stories by Jack London about Hawaiʻi and other Pacific Islands he visited in the early 20th century before his death in 1916.
I had visited two historic sites, and yet still had over two hours to kill before I could check into the hostel! So I decided to board a trolley out of the center of the city to see the "Old Town," the one that Davis et al had put to ruin in the second half of the 19th century.
As I arrived by helicopter, this was my incredible view:
Aerial view of the San Diego "Old Town"
No, just kidding! The above photograph shows a diorama of what Old Town probably looked like back in the 19th century.
This was my real view, as I approached on foot:
The historic Plaza de Armas in San Diego Old Town, plotted in the 1820s.
It was really great to see a Plaza de Armas, especially since we had spent three weeks in Peru in July and every city we visited was centered on a Plaza de Armas. If the Spanish got anything right in their imperial project, it was urban design. Plazas attract people to come together, recreate, and socialize, and at best, they foster a sense of civic engagement and democracy. That's surely how I characterize the plazas we witnessed in Peru. Now, Spanish and Mexican California probably had lots of plazas once, but how many Californian cities and towns have maintained their center of gravity upon these historic plazas? San Diego's story, at least, is of their Plaza de Armas becoming a marginal, peripheral place, only fifty years after it was first mapped on the ground.
Old Town's plaza is surrounded with historic buildings.
Historic buildings line every side of the Plaza de Armas. San Diego Old Town.
It's all part of the San Diego Old Town State Historic Park. Some of the buildings are original 19th-century adobe and wooden edifices, but many are 20th-century reconstructions. Some of the buildings house museums about early San Diego history, while most house private businesses such as restaurants and gift shops. It is an interesting place; at night Old Town comes alive as the drinking classes live out their own dreams of Mexican-American history by scarfing down tacos and drinking margaritas in the shadows of the edifices where real Mexican pioneers once lived. (And it is important to be clear here that this place was Mexican before it was American. Old Town was founded in the 1820s right as Mexico claimed independence from imperial Spain. Only in 1848 did Old Town become an American city, and that's right when William Heath Davis started moving traffic to New Town anyway. So my experience of this place was more as Mexican history than as American history.)
Think about it. Everywhere I have been on this California Research Adventure was once, at least nominally, part of Mexico. This history, from the 1820s to 1848 — a crucial period of development — is Mexican history. And if this makes you imagine that everybody running around in San Diego Old Town during this era was "Mexican," think again. This was a cosmopolitan place, and what it meant to be "Mexican" in Alta California was probably a very complicated thing.
The Old Town State Historic Site Visitor Center does, I think, a great job explaining this: that Mexican Alta California was more cosmopolitan than we probably at first imagine. Most interesting of their "people profiles," for me, was the profile of Allen B. Light, an African-American pioneer in Mexican California.
Wall panel about Allen B. Light and his saloon/hotel in Mexican San Diego.
Light is an immensely fascinating character. He had come from the United States in the 1830s serving as the steward on a Pacific Ocean-bound ship. African-Americans quite frequently served as cooks and stewards on U.S. ships in the 18th and 19th centuries, so this was not uncommon. In Mexican Alta California in the 1830s he deserted ship and began to live on shore as a sea otter hunter. That might not sound like a promising way to make a living, but in the 1830s it was. Indeed, Light — who was often nicknamed "Black Steward" — was one of the most important sea otter hunters on the California coast, tracking the remaining otters to where they could be found along the coastlines of Southern California's Channel Islands. He sometimes hired Native Hawaiians to help with sea otter hunting. Pretty strange and fascinating stuff, right?
Anyway, turns out he settled in Mexican San Diego and opened up a saloon with another African-American expatriate. According to this exhibit, they became Mexican citizens. One wonders what happened in 1849 when "the world rushed in" (the Gold Rush) and Euro-Americans began to attempt to lay claim to California as the white man's "manifest destiny"? I can only guess that Light — the successful African-Mexican entrepreneur — faced serious prejudice and discrimination. Well, I hope not, but you know, the Anglo men who came to California after 1848 had some pretty crazy ideas about their "destiny"!
Anyway, my favorite house in all of San Diego Old Town was the alcalde's house, a colonial-style mansion built in the 1820s for the small city's alcalde, who was sort of like a mayor in the Spanish colonial system (which I guess was continued by the Mexican municipalities?).
Entrance to La Casa de Estudillo, San Diego Old Town
In a way, I wasn't really convinced that California was once part of Mexico, and before that part of imperial Spain, until I visited this casa. Sure, I had read about pre-1848 Alta California quite a bit, and I acknowledged when museums and historic sites mentioned pre-1848 people, places, and processes. But it only really came alive for me when I stepped into this casa, instantly reminding me of similar 18th and early 19th century homes we had visited in Peru, and making clear to me in no uncertain terms that in the 1820s when this adobe mansion was built, this was Mexico and in the 1840s the U.S. took it over. I think we as Americans prefer to ignore our own history of empire, how we took over so many different peoples' lands (just as the Spanish had done before us, I should note). So much of California is wiped clean of this history, and just like Hawaiʻi, it is this history of erasure — this erasure of any representations of colonial rule — that allows us to imagine California and Hawaiʻi as Pacific — and pacific (with a lower-case "p") — paradises.
Anyway, I'm probably making too much of it, but having just returned from South America, this casa in San Diego really spoke to me as an important relic in the nearly-forgotten history of California's many-layered colonial past.
View from the inner courtyard of La Casa de Estudillo, San Diego Old Town
I had a wonderful time exploring San Diego Old Town, but, alas, I found no sign of Hawaiians here. Richard Henry Dana, Jr., in his travelogue Two Years Before the Mast (written in the 1830s), does write of how Hawaiians living on the beach at San Diego harbor "went into town" now and then to purchase foodstuffs. So, at least now I can imagine what that town looked like, with its Plaza de Armas ringed by small adobe houses and stores. There were Hawaiians here in Mexican San Diego, but they didn't leave anything tangible behind that we can look at. Too bad.
I returned downtown to check into my hostel, cleaned myself up, and then headed back out via trolley and bus to the University of San Diego to attend the opening reception of the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association's (PCB-AHA) annual conference. This is the whole reason, of course, that I had come to California in the first place.
The reception was lovely, as was the opportunity to call it a night at 8 PM and get into bed at the hostel.
Day 12:
The hostel offers free breakfast from 8 to 10 AM, but I had to be up by 6:30 and out the door by 7 to get to the University by 8 for the first panels at 8:30AM. I had been hopeful that there might be morning munchies at the conference, but when I got there I only found coffee, tea, and water. I grabbed a cup of coffee on my empty stomach and began attending panels.
This is what academic conferences are all about: you attend numerous panels every day. On each panel are three or four people who read 15-20 minute papers each on their respective topics. So all in all you end up listening to 10-15 papers each day. It is funny how you just sit and listen like this all day, and yet feel utterly exhausted by the end of it. Our panel, at 3:30 PM, was at the very end of the day, and my paper was, in fact, the last paper of the last panel. So I was pretty tired by the time I had to present my paper on "Native Hawaiian Labor and the California Gold Rush," but I rallied my energy and did a good job. I was able to show photos from this research adventure (!), to show my audience how the past connected with the present, and how the art of historical research involves not just digging through archives but digging through museums and historic sites, as well as camping, swimming, and wandering around towns and cities. (In fact, I wasn't able to say as much in my fifteen minute presentation, but hopefully interested folks will check out this blog to get that side of the story here.)
After a successful day, a number of colleagues invited me to go out with them and grab Mexican food and drinks in the Old Town. It was nice to be there at night, in Old Town as a tourist and consumer, and to contrast that with my experience the day before as historical investigator.
I only had one margarita, but it was enough to enhance the romance of my walk back through the Plaza de Armas at 10 PM. I could have imagined I was back in Mexican San Diego: the rowdiness, the cosmopolitanism. It is so easy for a historian to make worlds come alive in his or her head. A stiff drink helps, too.
Day 13:
My last day in California. I slept in. I should have jumped out of bed at 6:30 AM to get to the University to attend more panels, but I just didn't feel like I could make it. So I got up at 8 AM and enjoyed the hostel's free continental breakfast. I had raisin bread with peanut butter and jelly, fresh fruit, and pretty darn good coffee. These were pleasantries I needed. I got to the University around 10 AM and began attending panels again. This continued until 5 PM.
All in all it was an extremely successful conference. I got to meet many, many wonderful, kind and intelligent people working on the most interesting topics in U.S., Pacific, and Asian history. I learned a lot from presenting my own work and hearing colleagues' comments, criticisms, and questions regarding what I had said. And I learned a lot by listening to others' presentations, as well.
But, much like in my California archival research, I can't really tell you what I know now that I didn't know before. All this history is just brewing in my brain, but I have yet to have any "Eureka" moment or see the entire world in a brand new light. But what I think will happen is that over the ensuing months, pieces of this trip will fall into place in my writing. I intend to write two full dissertation chapters this fall, plus begin research on a third chapter. I am a bit nervous about accomplishing this much, but with all that I have seen and learned here in California in two weeks, how could I not fill up two chapters with my experiences. It will simply be a matter of finding the right way to drain this brew out of my brain onto the page so that it is coherent, not just to myself, but to the average reader.
Anyway, at some point you just have to hoist the sails and let the wind take you where you need to go.
If the Star of India was a history dissertation, its sails would be the research notes. At port, you can work on the sails as long as you want, but at some point you have to start writing ("sailing"). And the only way to do that is to stop mending those damn sails, hoist them up, and let the wind take you.
Thanks for following my research adventure! I am now safely back in New York City, having returned from my Pacific dreams to my New York life! :)

Vapor Barrier ?
Hello all, just starting to finish my basement and joined the site today.
Quick background: I have an inground basement (poured concrete floor), with a drain tile/sump pump system already installed. I have not had any water issues in the basement since I have lived here for the last 5 years (house is 10yrs old). The builders at the time of construction did build 2x4 walls with insulation around the outside walls of my basement and I have found that they installed a standard plastic sheet vapor barrier between the concrete block foundation and the outside of the 2x4 wall. They also installed another vapor barrier (plastic sheet again) on the inside of the 2x4 wall.
After having a few contractors over to assess a seperate issue (support pole moving) in my house, they have recommended to me that this double sided vapor barrier was a thing they did for a few years in my area, but is actually not a great idea as it creates a "zip lock" bag effect around the insulation/2x4 wall - which in turn could get mold if there was a moisture issue in the basement.
I will be finishing the walls myself, and the last contractor recommended to me that I either put slits in the vapor barrier between every 2x4 or actually completely remove it.
Can anyone advise to me what I should do here? I have a hard time removing a vapor barrier that was purposely put there for a reason but then again I know nothing about this topic and need help.
Welcome to the forums! There are many threads on basements from using the white "search box" at the top of every page. This will get you started on the "diaper" insulation system you now have and don't want; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...ts?full_view=1
Pick your choice, not poly; pp.8, 26-29, 47-51, summary pp.69; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...study-analysis
The slits do nothing as a vapor barrier is area weighed; http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/...cience-podcast
OK, I just skimmed over that buildingscience article and I'm already officially overwhelmed. From what I read there I should rip down every wall along the outside of my basement and re-build it according to one of their recommended ways.
I understand having the diaper effect is bad, but will I be OK if I just remove the inner-side poly and put sheetrock up?
You could try it that way, if you want. The foamboard against the concrete with a drain interior warms the cavity to prevent condensation, fig. 15;http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...lation-systems
Without the foam and just poly sheeting on the concrete, with f.g. batts; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...ent-insulation

If the map were at a county level, it might have a bright green spot for El Paso county although more likely even El Paso county would be average depending on how religiosity was defined. Just because we have a lot of religious organizations doesn't mean the state became more religious, only perhaps a bit more polarized.
