Insanely Jealous
Yesterday was Thursday, April 12, 2007. It was the day before Friday, April 13, 2007 and the day after Wednesday, April 11, 2007. It started out as a normal day but by 4:30pm… I was consumed with the pinnacle of all jealousness. I had become Insanely Jealous.
I don't normally become jealous. Most of the time, I'm happy with a "This is My Life and That is Your Life" mentality. And I always go by the 80% rule. The 80% rule is defined as: Stop and look at current situation. If you are 80% happy with it, shut up. If not, go complain about it to any and everyone you come in contact with.
The whole jealous thing started at 5:45am. I showed up at the Thursday run location and wouldn't you know it… the Thursday Day Run Homeowner had her own Port-O-Potty on wheels. I have always wanted my own Port-O-Potty. It would be the ultimate in nuisance gifts. I could deliver it for birthdays, weddings, and BBQs! But more importantly, I could use it on the holiest of rabidrunner holidays….APRIL FOOLS DAY! Which reminds me that I want to own/operate/control my own "Rent-A-Goat" service. Here's how it works. I have a goat name Sergio. You have a spouse that turns 50. You rent Sergio and tie him to a stick in your yard with a sign that says "The Ol' Goat's Turned 50." Genius, I know.
Even though I'm a Genius, I'm still a little jealous. On the way home from the run, I'm on the I-15 again (but alone so I'm not in the carpool lane ), and wouldn't you know it - a Silver Cayman S decides to make its grand entrance right besides me. I politely slowed down so this vehicle of fine proportion and engineering would go ahead of me and I could drool over it's magnificent behind. Once again, I get jealous and that car I'm driving - which 10 minutes earlier was sufficient for the 80% rule - was no longer sufficient. By now, I'm more than a little jealous.
One of my running buddies is attacking the Boston Marathon on Monday. She's running it alone, which is a drag because the Boston Marathon is a riot (one of those "Come On Feel the Noise" riots). Bunches of us decided to take pictures of ourselves, cut out our shapes and laminate 'em so as she could carry us with her. So I drop one of my yahoos off at a birthday party then drive to her house. She opens the door and a hired hand is cleaning her house top to bottom. She's going to Boston on vacation, she has someone clean her house weekly and her yard is professionally manicured. Let's apply the 80% rule again – I haven't been anywhere in a year, my house is atrocious and the yard is worse than atrocious (grossly wicked, vile, heinous, frightful, fulsome, pungent, wretched). I'm pretty dang jealous.
Later that evening, Spouse and I had our first date in a long time, so I went home and prepared for our "outing". You know, powdered the nose, traded in and out of various clothes and shoes to see which outfit would compliment my celestial companion perfectly (gag). Actually, I was doing a quick booger check and flossed the teeth. But as I was doing so, the Spouse of Vera (also known as Stu Pidasso) rang. He had purchased a car for Vera's upcoming umpteenth birthday (she's pretty old). Not just any car, mind you, it was a black Infiniti G35. He wanted help getting it home and wanted a garage to hide it in. In so many words I said that I had a date with Spouse and would help with transporting the piece of crap if no one else could and volunteered to sacrifice the dyke mobile's spot in the garage (that would be my Subaru Outback, you know the one that is only 40% sufficient due to the Silver Cayman S, see above if you forgot). I hung up the phone and dialed spouse. I began to critique the car-giving-for-birthday situation with words like "I wouldn't go for that" and "why did he choose black (my favorite car color)" and "Obviously Stu has more money than sense". (The latter comment is something I use often when speaking of the fairy tale couple.) During that conversation, I realized that the critic in me was a direct result of my becoming INSANELY JEALOUS.

It is I, Vera the leading authority on urination (and hater of all math). For weeks I think about trading in the rental for a new ride, something large enough to cart my huge/wide load around…so I'm dreaming of, what else…the mini cooper. Secretly I dream of something nice like I used to have…something that would truly make folks that pass me in HOV lane covet what I have. Yet at my age and diminished mind, I quickly forget what I dream about and gleefully jump in the rental and a-MUSE myself with the rockin stereo I have. I'm sitting around surfing YOUTUBE watching pug videos, and low and behold- my mate "STU" comes home and surprises me with the coveted sleek black prize. My first thought is How much was this…but I REALLY hate math and my mind is shot, so I forget that questions, jump in the car and think 'God, this seat is to small for my ass"…I better lose weight. It is true that Stu has more money than sense, but the car matches the Zig-Wiggler perfectly and that is what is really important in life!!!!

I'm jealous of people who don't find coarse black hair on their necks. You know, the one's that are surrounded by nothing else...they are usually really long and really obvious to everyone else but you...or me, because I spend as little time as possible in front of a mirror.
I'm insanely jealous of them.

Disney Will Pay For Mickey Mouse to Become a Minnie?
Neil Katz at CBSNews.com has a new question: "Transgender surgery: should your company pay for it?" Those who would say "No" and resist the latest PC push at major corporations are nowhere to be found by CBS or the AP:
While millions of Americans are grappling with employer-provided health insurance that covers less and costs more, one surprising group is benefiting as of late - transgendered people.
That's according to an Associated Press report [by Lisa Leff] which found that big name companies like Coca-Cola, Campbell Soup and Walt Disney [!] have expanded their insurance coverage to meet the needs of transgender workers.
All told, there are 85 large businesses and law firms that cover the cost of at least one surgery, according to a 2010 survey by the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights group.
Not only did CBS and AP fail to question the morality or wisdom of "sex reassignment surgery," they also avoided the economics of pressuring corporations to add this surgery to their coverage plans. How long before other employees start saying "I was born in the body of someone who needs a nose job?"
Leff's report is an amazing 1100 words of promotional copy, without one discouraging word. The Katz piece is illustrated by an AP photo of Gina Duncan, a transgendered employee at Wells Fargo, "where her sex reassignment surgery was covered by health insurance." He continued:
"The trend follows a concerted push by transgender rights advocates to get employers and insurers to see sex reassignment the way the American Medical Association does - as a medically indicated rather than an optional procedure for people diagnosed with gender identity disorder.
In order to transition from one gender to another, patients may need some combination of hormone treatments, breast augmentation, plastic surgery to remove or reconstruct genitals and facial reconstruction. People suffering from gender identity disorder are at a very high risk for suicide.
Some businesses see covering the cost of transgender surgery as not only an important human resources statement, but good business sense. They want to retain valuable employees and are keen to keep a 100 percent rating on the Corporate Equality Index, a measure graded by the Human Rights Campaign.
The next index comes out in fall and in order to keep a pristine rank [with HRC], companies will have to offer at least one insurance plan that covers at least $75,000 worth of surgery and other treatments recommended by a patient's doctor.
Perhaps the most amazing part of the AP story is comparing the sexual mutilation surgery to appendix removal:
"We understand people simply get appendicitis, and it is something our community deals with through insurance," said Andre Wilson, who counsels companies on transgender issues as a senior consultant with San Francisco-based Jamison Green & Associates. "That's what we need to understand about transsexualism. Not everybody will be diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder, and in fact, few people will be. But the people who are diagnosed with it really need treatment."

Welcome to The Fibro Guy
Due to my own personal experience of chronic pain and years of working with those with lifelong health conditions, I know that I can support those even with the more severe mobility and health conditions; supporting people to regain a more active and pain-free lifestyle..
- Lauren, who suffers with Class 3 Ehlers-Danlos, went from dislocating multiple times a day and having practically immobile hips to surfing in Mexico and wearing high heels again
- Cheryl lost her life for over 15 years to fibromyalgia and cluster-tic; spending most of her days in bed, riddled with pain. She's now fighting back - boxing, circuit training and spending time with her family out of the house.
- Linda fell on a tent peg, injuring her coccyx and spent many months unable to walk or sleep properly. Today she is now back at work full time and practically pain free.
- Angela couldn't walk 100 metres without hip and knee pain caused by her fibromyalgia. Today she is doing shuttle runs in the gym and only suffers from very slight fatigue.
- Ellie suffered with fibromyalgia and ehlers-danlos so badly that it caused her to nearly drop out of University. After working together, she is able to get through each and every single day and is on her way to earning her degree.
Subscribe to Blog via Email
Although my routines will never completely remove all pain associated with conditions such as Fibromyalgia, they will ensure that you have many more good days over bad days and that your pain is reduced. Everybody is an individual case, some people benefit much more than others when it comes to these programmes however, everyone can expect to see some degree of result.
If you have Hypermobility, we work towards reducing your dislocations. (like Lauren above) and if you have fibromyalgia, we will work towards reducing pain and fatigue levels.
Through working closely together, we will identify the root cause of specific pain, address your individual imbalances and return your body to correct alignment.
Within a week we will have developed a management programme that will help to build strength, reduce fatigue, identify triggers in foods and your daily life, but more importantly, reduce pain.
Individual Programme
Working together on a weekly basis we will firstly assess your posture and the damage that this could potentially be doing.When aggravated, the body will compensate to make up for areas of weaknesses causing further discomfort...
Event Talks
As I have been working with chronic pain sufferers for a long time and also being once one myself. I know how hard it can be living in pain every day. I have done a number of talks with the various national Fibro, ME and EDS groups and am available …
Just big big thank you for everything you or doing for us all. You are a gem! The Fibromyalgia support group love your classes and the massage you have arranged for us after our session.North East Support Rep
Having Fibromyalgia and all the ailments the worst being the pain and fatigue, you would think that exercise would be the farthest thing from our minds... It was until we met Adam who is an amazing person, patient, understanding and a font of knowledge. Adam is a real inspiration and although we are a team, give us individual time making sure we are not pushing ourselves too far... I would highly recommend Adam not only to fibro sufferers but to any one who thinks they would like to give exercise a try you wont be disappointed.Judith Culham-Elsdon
It is great being able to tell someone how the fibro is affecting you on a day to day basis and not have that person look at you like you are mad. Adam totally understands how this is affecting my body and my mind, and takes it in his stride. I feel totally confident and at ease with him, and the session I have with him is great, informative and relaxed. I would recommend anyone with fibro to get in touch with himJune Scott
Adam is a compassionate trainer who understands fibromyalgia and knows what it's like to work with limitations. For over a year I looked for someone to help me exercise whilst not pushing me so much that I have a flare up, and now I've found Adam I'm not letting go! He's been amazing from the start and has really helped with my day to day confidence, posture and knowledge of what's best to do. Honestly one of the best things you can do if you have any sort of chronic pain condition is get in touch and start the journey to managing your mood and pain levels through controlled, well researched exercises. I was in that dark place where nothing seems achievable..but it's amazing the change it's made to my life in just a month, I can't wait to see where I am this time next year!Alison Morton
I came across Adam by chance while looking through FB. His blogs about Cheryl had me hooked. I called Adam and made an appointment to see him and started gentle low impact exercising the following week. I would never have thought that exercise would help pain. Adam never pushes you further than your limits, if it hurts them stop, pain is not what you are aiming for. I had been off sick from work for months when I starting seeing Adam and was starting to think I would never make it back to my job. With correcting my posture and gentle exercises I am doing great and returning to work next week. Adam is a gentle, very compassionate Person and would and already have recommend him to manyJulie Ryan
I went to see Adam after seeing him popping up on the Fibro support page. I'd been told by my pain management clinic they could no longer help. I was in a lot of upper body pain, neck, shoulders, arms, but also couldn't walk far without pain starting in hips and knees. He spotted bad posture the minute I walked through the door. It took a couple more weeks then he figured out what was going wrong with my knees and hips. The guy is a genius. He makes pain go away!Christine Pearson
I met Adam about 4 months ago. I have found his training and techniques very helpful . I am now in a position where I am able to walk/ exercise without being in pain all of which have improved my wellbeing. I would recommend Adam to anyone, he is friendly, helpful and very patient. He really understands the frustration we go through with this silent illness. Don't know what I would do without him. Thanks Adam.Angela Hymers

What -betafit- does is model the mean dependent variable as
invlogit(xb), xb is the linear predictor and invlogit(xb) is
the predicted probability. invlogit(xb) is the function
exp(xb)/(1+exp(xb)). So typically what you are interested
in is the predicted proportion rather than the linear

Not a good bunch of weeks to be a legendary musician. I must have been 12 when I saw Hubert Sumlin for the first time, at a long since closed venue called Chicago B.L.U.E.S. I have no idea why they spelled it that way. My dad brought me, I was clearly the youngest person in attendance. These were the smoke filled sketchy days of minimal ID checks….so I mean, I probably could have gotten in on my own had I been able to somehow travel from suburban New Jersey.
Hubert Sumlin is best known as Howlin Wolf's guitar player. His influence stretches far beyond what any casual rock fan is aware of. Clapton worshipped him. Led Zeppelin covered his tunes (The Lemon Song? That's his riff) and just listen to Keith, back to back with some Wolf.
On this particular evening early in my musical life, I was about as into blues music as a white suburban kid could be. I wish I knew more about that club, we saw many a classic musician there. James Cotton, Son Seals, Buddy Miles, Johnnie Johnson, possibly several others. What seemed to be the house band at this club, was made up of what is now Conan O'brien's band. Jimmy Vivino on guitar, Mike Merritt on Bass, James Wormworth (who replaced Max Weinberg) on drums. On keyboards for that show, was the legendary Al Kooper.
I vividly remember Vivino in a bright orange suit, shiny orange tie, chainsmoking, playing a possibly orange strat, sounding phenomenal. This had such a great impression on my fragile young mind. The band was as tight as can be. Not playing arena rock Guns N Roses anthems, but no less powerful.
Sumlin looked just like a cat. Well, a cat with a little mustache, skinny tie, and white hat. Playing a telecaster. The only specific song I remember is "Killing Floor" his signature jam. They might have brought him on stage to that song (16 years tend to cloud exact memories) It just felt like you were seeing the real thing. Here's the guy who is responsible for this sound, right on stage in front of me.
Years later, Sumlin released an album titled "Wake Up Call" On the CD booklet, there's a picture of him and Keith Richards on stage together….with the Chicago B.L.U.E.S sign clearly behind them….yeah. I was 12, they played 2 sets a night, we definitely went to the early one. Its probably for the best, my little brain could not have handled that.
At the end of the set, Sumlin came off stage, shook my hand, leaned over to my dad and said "Keep bringing the kids man, its so great to see the young ones" I met sumlin 12 years later during a live radio broadcast, told him this story, and he said (this is an exact quote)
"You were 12??? How old are you now, 2???"
Yeah, I have no idea at all what he meant. The producer of thet show came up to me right after and said "Yep. I saw that happen"
The last show I saw him play was at the Jazz Standard in 2008. His band was no less stellar – Vivino again on guitar, Tony Garnier (of Bob Dylan's band) on Bass, and David Johansen of the New York Dolls on vocals. Think about it for a sec, Johansen owes quite a lot to Howlin Wolf.
Everyone loved Hubert. Iggy Pop talked extensively about him during a NY Times live interview, Levon Helm played on his last record, he performed with Elvis Costello just a few months ago. He was an unsung musical hero. Well, maybe he was pretty sung (or however that should be phrased) but the majority of music listeners have no idea how far his influence reached.

When Amazon began its journey, it literally had no competition. There were no big fish in the pond, so to speak of. Today, though, there isn't any space left by the big fish for the smaller ones to swim in according to Armando Roggio.
He says, "No small business can compete with the likes of Amazon head to head". It is his opinion that while direct competition is not possible, a small business can still remain successful and profitable pitted against the giants such as Costco, Target, Walmart and Amazon provided they follow a few key strategies.
The key according to Armando is to sell with a competitive advantage. Or in layman's terms just sell something that the big fish are not directly competing for. If a product does not exist on Amazon or is not really doing well through such large ecommerce websites then it can be sold using smaller ecom sites.
Why Is It Difficult To Compete?
It is not just the size but the well developed fulfilment infrastructure of Amazon that makes it so difficult to compete with this giant. One excellent way to balance things out especially if your ecommerce website sells your products exclusively in the market is to sell on your website as well as use Amazon as a second storefront. Nothing wrong in doing this and the best part is that you utilize the marketing potential of Amazon to reach millions of customers while building a steady base and use the income generated to build up the reputation of your business and your ecommerce platform.
According to Helen Schmid, who previously worked in marketing at Amazon, unless you can build a website that is easy to use, ergonomic and a pleasure to use – you should not really be trying to compete with the big fishes. Start by leveraging the potential of such ecommerce giants and at the same time gradually build up your market presence.
Just recently in July, Amazon held its Amazon Prime Day sales event. This was the second time Amazon held such an event and it propelled many of its competitors to organize a big sale on the same day out of fear that they may lose loyal customers to Amazon if they do not do anything. Funnily enough, the date chosen by Amazon, July 12th is innocuous and there is absolutely no justification in why a one-day sale would impact other ecommerce websites.
How We Can Help?
Quite simple really! Here at coteperso.com we offer customized ecommerce solutions specifically for small businesses and manufacturers who wish to maximize returns without having to rely on expensive third party SEO and SMO solutions. Whether it is PPC, marketing or simply leveraging the giants in the ecommerce world, we specialize in building the perfect game plan. In fact, our involvement in your business does not stop there. We remain with you every step of the way from inception to breakeven and then profits.
We also maintain a regularly updated blog to keep you informed of the latest developments in the world of ecommerce business and how you can leverage strategies, ideas and opportunities to boost sales, regardless of whether you own your own ecommerce website or use one the big ecommerce platforms like Amazon.
I was struggling for well over 10 months with a small customized gumboots website I had built. While I knew my products were topnotch and priced much lower than the competition, I simply could not get enough sales until Coteperso. Now I make six figures each month.
Timothy Roanson
Trying to sell insurance online is way more complicated than products. Coteperso makes it easy, I only concentrate on closing leads, while these guys work on maximizing lead generation.
Coteperso constantly help us to improve our conversion rates across the board – fantastic knowledge of the travel and tourism industry.

They will never get the smell out of the water!
Jesus Christ she looks good.
Yep, she had silicone booty shots FOR SURE.
Is there such a thing as ass crabs?
looks like her and I actually weigh the same now. Poor her.
I though that was a black ass. Damn Paris, where that dunk came from girl?!
The bitch still has herpes!!!!
Paris has granny ass, don't be fooled.
Revenue != Profit

Model Minimum Inventory of Roadway Elements—MMIRE
PDF Version (1.09 MB)
PDF files can be viewed with the Acrobat® Reader®
MMIRE has been developed through a multistage process involving identification of potential elements, review and comment by data collection and data use experts, modification of MMIRE element listing based on that review, and developing of proposed coding schemes for each element. The following narrative describes that process.
As noted above, the goal of MMIRE is to define critical safety data inventory elements—those elements needed by State and local agencies to conduct their internal analyses, and those elements required by existing safety analysis tools and resources. However, this effort was not limited to existing data element needs. Thought also was given to critical elements that will be needed for use in future analysis tools and program decisions. For example, pedestrian and bicycle safety are both high-priority areas for both State and local jurisdictions. As in program decisions and knowledge developed for other road users, both crash and exposure data are needed by the analyst. While pedestrian and bicycle exposure data currently are not collected, these counts may be possible by using digital-image-based methods now under development. Such critical, but nonexistent, elements are included in the proposed MMIRE structure. The research team based their choice of proposed elements on five specific existing tools and resources:
These four original inventory element listings were reviewed in detail by the project team staff, and potential MMIRE elements were identified. In addition to elements in these four listings, the project team also included additional elements that are felt to be critical MMIRE variables. These additions were based primarily on four other sources:
This element identification effort produced a listing of over 150 potential MMIRE elements. The listing was converted to a matrix for use in the review workshop described in the section below. For each data element, the project team provided a proposed priority—1st, 2nd, and not recommended. This priority was based on a combination of factors including the requirements of the four major data sources and tools noted above (i.e., MMUCC was added later) and the team's knowledge of current and expected future analysis and tool needs. In some cases, the difficulty of data collection was considered in this prioritization.
In addition to the draft priority, the matrix also provided information on the presence of or requirement for each data element in the four basic data sources and the "level of priority" provided by each source (e.g., HPMS has both Sample Section and Universe elements; SafetyAnalyst has "mandatory," "optional," and "supplemental" elements).
Finally, the project team searched for each potential data element in inventory files for 20 States that were available to them—the eight current HSIS States and 12 other States. Each State file was examined to determine which of the MMIRE elements being considered were collected by that State. For example, information on "county" is captured in 18 of the 20 State systems examined (i.e., 90 percent). This information was also provided to the reviewers in the workshop to give them some sense of the current presence of each variable in the sample State data systems.
A one-day MMIRE review workshop was held August 3, 2006, in conjunction with the International Traffic Records Forum (ITRF). As indicated above, the purpose of the workshop was to have State and local agency data collectors and data users review and provide feedback on the potential data elements in the draft MMIRE matrix described above. To ensure input from State and local DOT data collection managers, State and local data users, roadway safety researchers, and other roadway data experts, the workshop participants include both an invited group of attendees whose travel expenses were funded by FHWA and other ITRF attendees who signed up for the workshop. The workshop included 34 attendees—18 from State DOTs, 2 from local DOTs, 6 from the USDOT, 6 roadway safety researchers, one data-product vendor, and one representative from AASHTO. A full list of attendees is provided in Appendix A.
The above-described MMIRE draft matrix was presented to the attendees, who were asked to:
Following the workshop, the project team incorporated the feedback from the workshop participants into the final proposed MMIRE elements. Changes incorporated included addition of a small number of new variables and deletion of a smaller number of proposed variables, minor variable name changes, and changes in the priorities for some variables. The most significant changes involved (1) reorganization of sections of the matrix, (2) changing what were originally "intersection" descriptors to include additional "junctions" such as mid-block pedestrian and bicycle crossings, and (3) a change in how the "priority" of each element is defined. With respect to the latter, while the draft priorities discussed at the workshop could be affected by the anticipated difficulty in data collection, the discussion there resulted in the final priority being only based on the importance of the element in safety analyses, and a new variable was added estimating the level of difficulty of data collection.
Following finalization of the proposed listing of MMIRE elements, the project team defined a proposed coding scheme for each element. For existing elements found in any of the five data sources noted above, the team reviewed the proposed coding from each. As would be expected, the coding for a given variable differed to some degree across the sources. The final decision was made based on the expected use in future analyses. Thus, additional weight was given to the schemes now used in both the IHSDM and SafetyAnalyst and anticipated for use in future tools. However, an attempt was made to ensure that the proposed scheme also was compatible with HPMS codes, on the assumption that States may have used that coding when developing their inventory files, thus reducing the amount of recoding that might be necessary in a conversion to the MMIRE formats.

WASHINGTON – The chief of the U.S. Marine Corps says that a project to transfer its base in Okinawa is merely behind schedule, reiterating the view of the top U.S. military commander in the Pacific and contradicting the Japanese government's position on the issue.
The project has been "delayed partly due to demonstrators and lack of support by the government of Okinawa," Gen. Robert Neller, commandant of the Marine Corps, told a congressional hearing Wednesday.
Under a bilateral accord, Air Station Futenma is to be relocated to another area of the prefecture in Henoko.
Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, told a separate congressional hearing last week that he expected the relocation plan would be delayed by two years until 2025.
The remarks prompted the Japanese government to "protest" to the U.S. side over the admiral's remarks, according to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.
"We have never told the United States that there will be a delay in the Henoko relocation plan until 2025," Suga told a parliamentary session, referring to the coastal area where the functions of the airfield in Ginowan is to be relocated.
The Japanese and U.S. governments agreed that the transfer and return of the land currently used for the Futenma base would take place by March 2023 at the earliest.
Neller made the remarks at the Senate Committee on Appropriations in an answer to a question by Sen. Brian Schatz, who said the Futenma relocation work was six to nine months behind.
Tokyo has already begun work on an airfield in the Henoko area, but progress has been hampered by tussles near the site between protesters attempting to block construction and law enforcement authorities.
Tokyo and Washington came up with the relocation plan to reduce the burden on Okinawa, which hosts the bulk of U.S. military facilities in Japan, but Gov. Takeshi Onaga wants the Futenma base moved outside the island prefecture altogether.
During the committee session, Neller also expressed concerns about the impact of the planned transfer of Marines from Okinawa to Guam on their training.
"We do have concerns about our ability to train once we get there," Neller said. "We have concerns about the strategic mobility and our ability to move and to go to other areas for training."
At the same time, Neller stressed that there was no change in the U.S. policy to promote the transfer of Marines based on its agreement with Japan.
"There is a political decision that says the number of Marines is going to be reduced on the island of Okinawa, and so we are still committed to support that and do our part to make that happen," Neller said.

Exactly! And I'm 200% sure that would happen if it wasn't for that
rule. Still, the next beta release will probably have an option that
allows you to specify one IP address of a "management host" to only
accept webGUI traffic from that IP address. That will have to do.

This passage from the second edition is a development of prolegomena, 13, iii.
Philology can, however, furnish no more than the prolegomena to mythology.
Compare on this point the prolegomena to book, "Principles of Descartes's philosophy set forth geometrically."
Green, in his prolegomena to Ethics, has interpreted this aspect in a manner that ought not to be forgotten.
There it occupies the place which, in the field of classical and historical scholarship, is taken by Wolf's prolegomena to Homer.
If I refer to Strabo, in his remarkable prolegomena, it is because he had occasion to consider the point particularly.
It does not, however, reappear in the prolegomena, and its teaching is explicitly withdrawn in the second edition of the Critique.
The length of my prolegomena and digressions compels me to postpone this part of the subject to another occasion.
This, indeed, is how they are viewed in the earlier sections of the prolegomena.
The exposition is a brief summary of the corresponding prolegomena sections.
1650s, "learned preamble to a book," from Greek prolegomenon, noun use of neuter passive present participle of prolegein "to say beforehand," from pro- "before" (see pro-) + legein "to speak" (see lecture (n.)) + suffix -menos (as in alumnus). The same sense is in preface (n.). Related: Prolegomenary; prolegomenous.

Question 1
Suppose I have two variables in my dataset. How BayesiaLab determines the causality. The MDL score will be same for both directions of the link, right? Thus, how exactly it determines the arrow?
Answer 1
Indeed, the MDL score will be the same forand . Therefore, BayesiaLab will be unable to determine any causal direction by just using your dataset. In order to determine causality, you will have to use your expert knowledge (to set the causal direction manually) or use some temporal information (e.g. B occurs before A). If you have this temporal information, you will just have to define temporal indexes in BayesiaLab (by double clicking on the node to open the Node Editor).
These indexes are taken into account while learning the structure to prevent links from the "future" to the "past".
Question 2
Answer 2BayesiaLab never determines causality automatically. It either uses the temporal indexes or the expert manual orientation of the arcs. At the end of the day, this is always the analyst that qualifies the BBN as a Causal BBN.
However, a BBN is an oriented graph. This is the reason why we need to select an orientation, even when two orientations are equivalent for representing the joint probability distribution and have the same MDL score. Therefore, after structural learning, you do not have to directly interpret these oriented arcs as causal relations.
Note that we do have a tool in Analysis – Visual – Show the Edges menu that transforms the BBN in an Essential Graph, where the arcs for which both orientations are equivalent are displayed as simple edges (undirected). The remaining arcs are the arcs belonging to V-Structures and the arcs that cannot be inverted without introducing spurious V-Structures or directed cycles.
The arcs of the Essential Graph do not have to be directly interpreted as causal either. They indicates that changing their orientation will change the represented joint probability distribution.
Question 3
I am still not clear. The output of BayesiaLab is a DAG. MDL can't detect direction. So, how does it produce a DAG on the basis of MDL score (minimizing MDL score)?
Answer 3
The direction of the arcs that can be oriented in both directions without changing the represented joint are selected based on the position of the variable in the dataset.

I have an african american nose, but my mother is european. I would like my nostrils to be less round and stick out less, and would only like a slight change to make the nose look slightly smaller. Is this possible without altering the shape of my mouth/lips or without it looking fake? And what type of surgery would I need? Thank you!!
Does Nostril Surgery/Alar Reduction Change the Shape of Your Mouth? (photo)
Doctor Answers 8
Alar Reduction Surgery Doesn't Change Shape of Lips
Wedges removed from alar tissue can reduce the flare of your nose without altering at all the shape of your lips. A second surgical maneuver that can narrow the nose and improve your tip definition would be to harvest cartilage from behind your ear and place it into your columella (that piece of tissue between the two nostrils). This cartilage from your ear can be folded on itself and inserted through the upper lip into the columella and up towards the tip of your nose. This increased projection of the columella gives your nose better tip definition, improves the lip/nose angle (which gives the illusion of a shorter nose), and this also decreases nostril flare, and BTW, improves your breathing.
Since your racial extraction is cosmopolitan, there are several other questions that could be answered by an in person, physical exam. I recommend you seek consultation from a Board Certified plastic surgeon experienced in both the Caucasian and non-Caucasian rhinoplasty.
Alar Reduction Changes Shape Of Mouth
It's very possible that alar reduction would change the shape of your mouth. In fact, this is very common in African-American patients undergoing a rhinoplasty. To avoid this, it's best that you schedule a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to gain a better understanding of which types of surgery best fit your needs.

Does Nostril Surgery/Alar Reduction Change the Shape of Your Mouth?
Rhinoplasty to change the shape of your nose, reduce nasal flare and narrow the base would not change the shape of your mouth. To determine what would be most beneficial for you, you would require a consultation to get more views of the shape of your nose.

Alar reduction does not change shape of mouth
Alar reduction can simply narrow the shape of the nostrils through incisions placed at the bottom sill of the nose. This can be done under a local or a general anesthesia and takes approximately a half an hour. It will not change the shape of the mouth.
Does Nasal Surgery affect the shape of the lips/mouth?
The short answer is no in most cases. The apparent lip length can be affected by rhinoplasty in certain instances but in no case should it affect lip shape. It seems that you are interested in subtle refinement of your nose with a natural appearing result. That is reasonable and probably achievable. An in depth consultation with a plastic surgeon skilled in Rhinoplasty surgery will inform an educate you as to your options and what can and cannot be done with your unique nasal anatomy. It also gives you the ability to be very specific about what you are looking for. Best of Luck Dr Harrell

Shape of Mouth after Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, including nasal base surgery and/or nostril modification will not change the shape of your mouth. It is difficult to make any recommendations when we can only see part of your nose; better pictures would be helpful.
African American Tip Rhinoplasty
Your question is a good one and the answer is that the shape of your lips and mouth will not change by having your nose and nostrils worked on. No matter how minor the change, you have to maintain balance between the different parts of the nose. Making the nostrils narrower/smaller by a little would be okay, but it may also throw it out of balance with the tip or bridge of the nose which may then appear too wide. Your nostrils do not appear wide enough to have isolated narrowing and still maintain good proportions.
Most likely, any change in the size of your nostrils should also be accompanied by some refinement of the tip and bridge. This does not have to be a major change, but aims to keep your nose looking natural and balanced.
Does Nostril Surgery/Alar Reduction Change the shape of your Mouth
Nostril surgery does not change the shape of your mouth. I am only seeing a portion of your nose but I am guessing that it is also slightly flat as well. You would benefit from a rhinoplasty with nasal narrowing and possibly some dorsal height. I must also tell you that because of the thickness of your skin you should not expect to get much definition. Although you would only like small changes your surgery requires special skills. I would consult with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in person. Look at before and after photos and ask the surgeon to show you noses that look similar to yours.

Saving face part 1 with Laurie Gail
Now is the winter of our discontent. Our parched pores need moisture like Ryan Gosling needs…you. Following, find face (and body) friendly finds to keep the snow miser away.
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center dermatologist Amy McMichael, M.D., recommends a proactive approach to winter skin care. Here are her top tips:
- Change to a thicker moisturizer for face and body during the winter months to combat the drier climate.
- Do not use a tanning bed to get a pre-tan before going to a warm climate for the holidays. "This will increase over all sun exposure and risk for skin cancer later," McMichael said.
- If rosacea is flaring, try to limit intake of alcohol and extremely hot beverages in the winter months to minimize breakouts and redness of the face. Take advantage of the slow times in the winter months after the holidays to do laser and chemical procedures for rosacea, melasma, wrinkles, etc, that you may have put off doing.
- Last, look for after Christmas sales for sun protective clothing and protect your skin all year long.
See below for new and current products to help dry winter skin:
June Jacobs, Founder of June Jacobs Spa Collection, suggests "Use a hydrating mask (like my Intensive Age Defying Hydrating Masque) on elbows and dry heels – it's not just for faces! Leave it on overnight and you'll wake up with baby soft, hydrated skin. I also like to use a dry oil spray in the winter – apply it after the shower to really help lock in the moisture and leave skin feeling soft and ultra smooth all day." (Available at junejacobs.com)
Sun protection is important year-round. The COOLA Mineral Face SPF 30 Unscented Matte Tint is a lightly tinted BB cream with broad spectrum UVA/UVB coverage. Rose Hip Oil, Vitamin C, and organic Evening Primrose and Flax Seed Oils help skin retain moisture. It's vegan friendly, gluten free, recycle friendly, and my favorite, cruelty free.

A representative for the 'Bachelor Pad 2' couple insists the two are still a couple, before explaining that Vienna moved back to Florida because her grandfather is very ill.
Contrary to swirling rumors, "Bachelor Pad 2" couple Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl are still very much together. Brushing off break-up reports was Kasey himself as telling E! News that he and his girlfriend "just have to do long distance right now." He added, "D**n rumors!"
A representative for the couple, Richard Harlow, also offered similar denial. Having said that the pair "haven't broken up," he explained, "Vienna moved back to be with her family. Her grandfather is very ill and she wanted to be there for his last days. The holidays are coming and she always goes back to Florida for a month and a half."
"Vienna will come back to L.A. after her family matters and she is also in the process of opening a boutique there," Richard further elaborated. The representative additionally stated, "I spoke with them yesterday. They haven't split. They are in a long-distance relationship for the next couple months."
Vienna and Kasey moved into a new home in Los Angeles together back in August, but she recently left the city for her home in Florida and he moved back to Fresno. Sparking break-up rumors, Life&Style cited a friend of Vienna as saying, "Vienna broke up with Kasey a few weeks ago. They'd been fighting about everything. It just wasn't working anymore."
The reported former contestant on "The Bachelor" additionally said, "It's anyone's guess about what happens next. But for now, Kasey is very, very hurt about it. He thought they were going to spend the rest of their lives together."

Competitive Analysis
Cisco SN 5420
Storage Router
Competitive Overview
The following is an analysis comparing the SN 5420 Storage Router to expected competitors. The SN 5420 is the industry's first router product to support the Small Computer Interface over IP (iSCSI) standard. To date, no other company is shipping production units making a traditional competitive analysis challenging.
Given this emerging market, this document will evaluate the expected competitors based on information from a variety of sources. Features and availability dates are provided where available.
Figure 1 The Cisco SN 5420 Storage Router
Competitive information is only as useful as it is updated, so there will undoubtedly be new information. This is particularly true for the SN 5420 (Figure 1) since it is the first router product released in a rapidly emerging market space.
Technology Overview
The SN 5420 is based on iSCSI, a draft standard proposed to the IETF1 expected to be ratified in late-2001. Before evaluating SN 5420 competitors, it is important to review various technologies that support IP-based storage to determine who is a competitor and who is offering an alternative technology to iSCSI.
- iSCSIIBM and Cisco submitted the initial iSCSI draft standard that encapsulates SCSI commands over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). For server communication to disk and tape over an IP network for distance, security or manageability reasons, iSCSI is ideal. Fibre Channel (FC) over IP (FCIP) will also work, but requires two gateways rather than one and exhibits point-to-point limitations, whereas iSCSI is point to multipoint.
- FCIPGadzoox and Lucent have proposed Fibre Channel over IP, which routes storage to storage traffic across a metropolitan area network (MAN). Since most storage-to-storage communication today is proprietary to a storage vendor (e.g. EMC's Symmetrix Remote Data Facility [SRDF], Hitachi Data Systems' Extended Remote Copy [HXRC] and Compaq's Data Replication Manager [DRM]), the full Fibre Channel frame is typically used. This requires the entire fibre channel frame from the two end points. iSCSI won't do this since it transports the SCSI data portion of the frame, not the entire fibre channel frame. Therefore, for storage-to-storage traffic today, FCIP (fibre channel tunneling) is preferred.
- SoIPNishan Systems has submitted a suite of protocols under the trademark SoIP for "Storage over IP." SoIP transfers blocks of data instead of files over local Gigabit Ethernet or wide-area SONET networks. In a SoIP network, FC to FC storage devices (tape libraries and disk arrays) can connect and interoperate with devices on a Gigabit Ethernet network via a SoIP adapter or a switch that joins to a Gigabit Ethernet switch or router.
For a complete list of which vendors have aligned themselves with the various technologies to provide storage over an IP network, refer to appendix A. There are additional companies developing FCIP products which are beyond the scope of the SN 5420. iSCSI and FCIP are different technologies for different applications.
On February 21, 2001, IBM announced two key products, the IBM 300G and IP Storage Appliance 200i. The significant aspect of the IP Storage Appliance is that it supports iSCSI. This is the industry's first iSCSI product announcement. IBM is a key partner for Cisco's Storage Networking efforts, and the announcement of the IP Storage Appliance was supported by Cisco.
The 300G is a networked attached storage (NAS) gateway device with option to connect to heterogeneous SANs on the back-end. As a NAS device, it supports file access through CIFS, NFS, HTTP, FTP and Netware protocols. The 300G provides access to storage over an IP network eliminating the need for all servers to have FC HBAs. Hence all the storage traffic traverses on the IP network. As a NAS device, it is optimized for file oriented applications.
The IP Storage Appliance 200i is small JBOD (just a bunch of disks) combined with a 1U Netfinity server, together acting as an iSCSI storage appliance. This product is aimed at workgroup and departmental applications where storage needs are modest and cannot afford the infrastructure costs required by Fibre Channel technology. IBM has an enterprise class storage array, internally named Shark, that is better suited for large scale enterprise and xSP type applications. IBM and Cisco are collaborating together to provide iSCSI access to the Shark through the SN 5420. The SN 5420 becomes an ideal device to combine Fibre Channel SANs, and enterprise class storage devices like the Shark, to an IP network.

my view from mile 18, the nyc marathon finish line
will be a bucket list for me! this is the longest that
my lungs, heart, legs, mind, & spirit have ever ran.
& by mile 17, they were each required to be
all-hands-on-deck cause i was really losing it.
(the things we think & solve & chant to ourselves
when long distance running would make a great blog)
i was rounding the final hill down by the boat house
& was moving like a wounded duck of sorts. & then
des'ree came on the shuffle with her mantra "you gotta be".
which thankfully channeled my feisty fifth grade self to show up
to take it all over & rally me to rev it up. by the time i made it
here to 18! i was so exhausted-emotional, that i just let
the tears flow as i high-fived
a lot of tree branches & a stranger.

I've always loved watching dominoes fall, but this video is especially cool for several reasons. One, I just love Van Gogh's Starry Night. It's one of the rare pieces of art that doesn't make me say "blech!" when I see it on an umbrella. Two, I'm fascinated by the method this person is using to place the dominoes. She seems to be holding a ruler on a little copy of Starry Night and placing the dominoes by color. No complicated charts or anything. And she makes it look so easy! Three: she shows her mistakes. Enjoy!
There's a lot of misinformation out there about health care reform. Before you spread more of it around, take this health care reform quiz and see if you know what you're talking about. For what it's worth, I got 9 out of 10 right, but I think one of the questions is worded badly so I'm counting it as a perfect score. :-)
A French athlete acting like an ass is old news. I'm looking at you Zidane:
But this French runner, Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad, seems to have something against mascots. WTF? If this is how this guy celebrates winning a race, I'd hate to see what happens when he loses.
So this one is real. It's on Slate and everything. Take fifteen seconds right now and check to see if you're going to lose internet access on Monday.
And last, if you want to see where stupid lives online, check out the twitter feed for Need A Debit Card. Basically, it retweets pictures people have posted of their debit cards. Honestly, I wouldn't know what to do with that information, but I'm guessing there are a lot of bad people out there who would.
Sure, many of the people realize their idiocy and delete the pictures, but a surprising number do not. I weepfor the future of our country…

As previously reported by our friends over at the Dallas Voice, in September a Houston Community College teacher, Donny Leveston, led an in-class conversation about "Taboo: Incest and Homoeroticism" in which transgender people were referred to as "freaks" and "weirdos." In an official response from the HCC Office of Institutional Equality the school admitted that the instructor acted insensitively and failed to show proper concern for a transgender student in the class who later withdrew from the school over the incident. Despite this, HCC found that Leveston did not violate the school's policy against Discrimination and Harassment and will not be disciplined or required to attend training on transgender issues.

Gay-baiting as a distraction from real issues
Jim Schutze at The Dallas Observer has a good piece up today about politicians using issues like immigration, abortion and gay rights to distract voters from real problems, such as Texas' current budget shortfall and — more generally — how badly rich people in the U.S. are screwing everyone else over. Here's an excerpt:
So it's like this: We ask, "Mr. Governor, what are you going to about the huge deficit that's going to screw up our kids' schools and toss our grandparents out in the street and mess up the whole state?"
And he says, "LOOK OVER THERE! A MEXICAN!"
It's not just Perry. It's all of the Republicans now. Ask state Sen. Florence Shapiro what she's going to do to protect colleges and universities from the shortfall. She'll start talking about how we need "voter ID"
And if that doesn't work, the Republicans will point toward San Francisco and say, "LOOK! LOOK! TWO GUYS KISSING!"
Or, "LOOK! LOOK! A SLUT GETTING AN ABORTION."
In reading Schutze's piece, we couldn't help being reminded of this George Carlin bit, so we figured we'd go ahead and share it too:
Steve 'Santa Claus' Sprinkle's message to gay youth goes national: No, God doesn't hate you
The other day we shared with you the Rev. Stephen Sprinkle's "It Gets Better" YouTube message to LGBT youth. Sprinkle, a gay 58-year-old assistant professor at TCU's Brite Divinity School, may lack the celebrity appeal of some others who've recorded these messages in recent days, such as Chris Colfer, Tim Gunn or Ke$ha (also, $prinkle doesn't usually spell his name with a dollar sign). But out of more than 1,000 videos submitted to the "It Gets Better" YouTube channel, Sprinkle's is among a handful featured in a national story about the campaign from the Associated Press. That's because, according to AP, Sprinkle is like the gay Santa Claus. And after all, for the average LGBT youth who's not going to become a celebrity, a grandfather figure who's a man of the cloth probably has a lot more cred than Perez Hilton. At least we'd like to think so. Here's the excerpt about Sprinkle from the AP story:
It's been 40 years since Stephen Sprinkle was in high school. At 58, he rocks gently in an office chair, his trim gray beard and gentle smile offering a touch of Santa Claus in his video. He describes his Christian upbringing in rural North Carolina and his decision to deny himself an "affectional life" as a gay man when he received his call to the ministry in his 20s.
"It made me lonely for a lot of years," he tells his viewers, as he constantly looked over his shoulder and lived in fear he would slip up and reveal his secret.
It wasn't until he was hired as an assistant professor at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas, that he decided to come out "utterly, fully and completely," surviving attempts to have him fired and earning tenure, Sprinkle said in an interview.
Since posting the video, he's heard from several young people, including one so upset that Sprinkle tracked down professional help.
"He's 18. He's a closeted religious person and he told me he was afraid he was going to explode," Sprinkle said. "He kept asking over and over, `Does God hate me?' I said 'Heavens, no. God created you beautiful and complete. God makes no mistakes like that.'"

The Digital Divide and Digital Democracy - A Conversation with Gerardo de los Santos
In recent years the digital divide has migrated from a concern about the ability to access the Internet at home or work, to a concern about the growing divide in the ability to access necessary broadband, especially as we see a proliferation of technology-enabled delivery of instruction often designed for BYOD (bring your own devices.) In this podcast, the president and CEO of the League for Innovation in the Community College shares concerns about the new issues we face as a state and a nation as we seek to prepare an historically underserved audience to be not only hardy learners in the workforce with relevant skills and knowledge; but also committed capable leaders in our growing digital democracy.

BRETHREN-L ArchivesArchiver > BRETHREN > 2009-10 > 1256053987
Subject: [BRE] Black Hawk County, Iowa, Brethren
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:53:07 EDT
I too am interested in names from Black Hawk County. My
great-grandfather's brother, John L Bowers and wife Roxanna Guenther, left Stephenson
County, IL, to move there. The Guenthers and Bowers had been members of the
Waddams Grove congregation in Illinois, so I assume they were affiliated with
a Brethren group in Black Hawk County. About the time they retired, they
moved to Spokane, WA, where they were part of a Brethren congregation.
While the family spelling was originally Bauer, my great-grandpa became a
"Bower," while his brother and those descendants became "Bowers."
