My motto is "Head down. Hopes up." I do my best to combine the practical with my wildest imaginings of art.
I am a big fan of the way the world makes stories up out of nowhere and then challenges us mere humans to put it down on paper in a way that folk can relate and move to.
I'm a big fan of jazz, and want to go see more of it in NY.
I love blues music, but I also love the laughter in old blues songs, and tilt my head back saying "Hell Yeah!" like hallelujah when the rhythm gets good to me.
I read a lot about history and politics, but I also love sci-fi and corny jokes and days on the beach and a certain amount of trash tv.
I do my best to stay in shape, (even though I grumble about it sometimes) and try to exercise every day, keeping up with my stretching and calisthenics.
I'm looking for someone special to share time and grow with. I'm looking for someone that might want to appreciate all this fine city has to offer and all I have to offer as well. I'm looking for a woman who likes to laugh, and loves to learn and grow.
My vocation means that I spend a lot of my time trying to make an image through words on the page. I write. Which means, a lot of the time I spend reading all kinds of other writing, researching, reading up on political shenanigans, and looking stuff up on the internet and in the library, and then, after procrastinating as much as possible, I write the poem or short story or essay I should have been writing all the time, and then I try to get it published!
And then, I get to share all the stuff I've read with my students! I got a pretty good deal, and I'm very happy with it.
I'm also good at playing blues harmonica, learning slide guitar, learning about all kinds of music, researching history, appreciating art in a city that's full of surprises, and riding my (almost) vintage motorcycle around the city in search of adventure.
I'm good at appreciating the sometimes hidden talents in people, and encouraging them to chase their dreams as hard as they can, cause that's the only way I know how to live. I'm good at listening when the chips are down. I'm also a good teacher.
I want to be better at more and more, the older I get.

Blister beetles are occasional late-summer problems in Iowa alfalfa fields. The beetles feed on alfalfa and soybean foliage, but leaf loss is not of economic importance. The real problem with blister beetles lies in their toxicity to livestock, especially horses, when accidentally consumed in feed. The beetles produce cantharidin, an irritant that causes painful blistering when the insects are handled. The cantharidin remains in the beetle's body even after it dies. That becomes a problem when alfalfa is swathed, during which dead blister beetles can be incorporated into the hay as it is made. Thus, livestock can accidentally consume whole beetles or their squashed remains when the hay is fed.
Four species of blister beetles are most commonly found in Iowa. The four, listed in the order that they occur during the season are gray, striped, margined, and black, respectively. All these species have long, narrow, cylindrical, and soft bodies, and a pronounced neck and broad head when viewed from above. They range from about 0.75 to 1 inch in length and most have a tendency to congregate in the field--a trait that we can use to reduce contamination of finished hay. Because one of the larval stages is a heavy feeder on grasshopper eggs, knowledge of grasshoppers and their life cycles can be helpful.
Horses are especially susceptible to blister beetle poisoning. Consumption of 25 to 300 beetles can kill a mature horse. Cattle and sheep are much less susceptible, but blister beetles will reduce digestibility of hay and may throw cattle off feed. Furthermore, cantharidin is a stable compound that withstands decomposition even when it is dried or heated; thus, the hay will retain its toxicity in storage. Affected livestock suffer symptoms that include colic, tenesmus (straining), elevated temperature, depression, increased heart and respiratory rates, dehydration, sweating, and diarrhea. Because the toxin is absorbed and then excreted with the urine, intense inflammation of the urinary tract is a common sign of poisoning. Death may occur within 24 hours, and treatment with mineral oil by stomach tube is recommended but not always very effective. If blister beetle poisoning is suspected, contact a veterinarian immediately.
What can be done to avoid blister beetle problems?

- 1 cup short-grain rice (7 ounces)
- 3 ounces mixed mushrooms such as oyster and stemmed shiitake, quartered if large (2 cups)
- 2 scallions, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 thick slices of fatty bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice (1/2 cup)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup ginkgo nuts (optional; see Note)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
In a bowl, cover the rice with water and let soak until the grains turn white, about 1 hour. Drain the rice.
In another bowl, toss the mushrooms and scallions with 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper; let marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small, enameled cast-iron casserole, clay pot or medium saucepan, cook the bacon over moderate heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the soaked rice and stir to coat with the fat. Add the ginkgo nuts, marinated mushrooms and scallions, the water and the remaining 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Drizzle the oil around the edge of the pot so it runs down the insides.
Cover the pot and cook the rice over low heat until tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 10 minutes. Raise the heat to high and cook the rice, covered, until sizzling and a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Romaine BrooksIt Makes the Dead Sing
about 1930
charcoal and pencil
18 9/16 x 12 1/4 in.
Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of the artist
Romaine Brooks wrote a memoir about her life with a cruel mother and demented brother, which she titled No Pleasant Memories. She planned to illustrate the book with evocative, linear fantasies that suggest more than they reveal. It Makes the Dead Sing is one of the most complex and accomplished of those images. A hooded, robed figure gathers tortured souls to its bosom, a lugubrious chorale of singing and wailing figures. More than a personal lamentation, it represents a universal, apocalyptic vision.

Unbelievable! Several students just received Christ at an outreach. So now what? How do you respond to help a person who has just received Christ? "Follow-Up" is the answer!
Imagine bringing your newborn baby home from the hospital. Suppose you set her in the crib and say, "Okay, Sweetie, milk is in the fridge, the bathroom is over there, and here's the stereo if you want to hear some tunes." Absurd! So why should we do the same to a brand new Christian, who is referred to as a "baby" in the Bible? No, it's our responsibility to help cultivate the faith of that newborn believer.
Follow-up is making sure a new Christian understands their new relationship with God. They need to know the first steps in how to grow in their relationship with Christ and multiply their faith to others. It is important to help them establish a habit of meeting with Christ daily and to help them live a new life of faith.
So where do you start?
For free Bible studies you can download go to "Getting Started - Follow Up Bible Studies" and for other great studies you can purchase go to http://wwwcruhighschool.com/getEquipped/index.htm.
Taking care of a newborn is a lot of work! But if you have done your job well, by God's grace your newborn friends will soon be walking, talking, and feeding themselves spiritually. They will be on their way to becoming mature disciples of Christ!

Microeconomic Policy After The Great Recession
We all remember learning of the millions who lost everything during the Great Depression of the 1930's. Savings, jobs and homes seemed to dissipate leaving the nation ravished in the process. Who would have thought we would all see something like that again? In comes the Great Recession; different name, but all the same symptoms. While The Great Recession officially only lasted two years, from December 2007 to June 2009, its effects still ripple straight into today. Eight million jobs were lost, and those were just the ones recorded. The real estate and stock market were utterly decimated, wiping out $18.9 trillion in household capital. Something that catastrophic leaves lessons in the minds of macroeconomic policy makers, as well as anyone concerned even slightly with the world of finance. Considering everyone is touched by such financial issues, these lessons resonate beyond the mere financial sector.
The biggest change in macroeconomic policy comes in relation to lending. Prior to The Great Recession, predatory lending, as the term has since been coined, ran rampant. Everyone was being given access to credit they not only could not afford, they should not afford. An enormous credit bubble was created, fueled by banks eager to grow their lending base regardless of risk or impact. Banks made money. Wall Street made money. With little regard to the viability of the borrower's' ability to repay the loans in the first place. The very foundation of the strategy was cracked, and the entire housing market collapsed as a result.
Subprime lending did not just stop there. The other great lesson learned also came from the real estate market. Home owners, in an effort to capitalize on deficient, greedy lending practices and keep up with the Joneses, started using their homes, not as mere shelter, and a place to hang one's hat, but as an equity resource. As a result, many who were not caught in the subprime struggle to begin with, found themselves refinancing using the same subprime system as their home buying neighbors. And the flawed system perpetuated.
As a result of these subprime lending strategies, changes were made by macroeconomic policy makers to mitigate predatory lending practices by banks. It may be harder to get a loan now than it was before The Great Recession, but the loans taken will be much more secure for banks, and subsequently, more safe for households prohibited from reaching beyond their financial means.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/2/2013 (1626 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Have a little faith in our Wheat Kings
I have to disagree with the person that wrote "No Hope For Improvement For Our Brandon Wheat Kings." Since the big trades, I find the games are much more exciting to watch. The young players we have are showing the fans what they are made of. They may not be winning all their games but the plays seem to be better, the discipline is certainly there and they are trying hard to win games. We all knew this was a rebuilding year. Let's not write off our players or our coach just yet. I am really looking forward to next season to see where all these young players are going to take us. We have numerous great players that can only get better.
Let's aim a little younger first
Instead of the city planning to spend all that money on the old Convergys building for a youth centre which we really don't need, here is an another suggestion. We are very short on daycare space here in Brandon, as anyone with small children needing daycare would agree. Could the city or someone put a big beautiful daycare in that building? I know friends who have to put their little ones on waiting lists for months and months, and sometimes end up putting their babies in places less desirable. I am also sure that they would not have any problem staffing the daycare. It's a big building and they could do lots with it regarding a daycare.
Hats off to all the Winter Festival pavilions
I wasn't able to attend all of them. However, the ones I were at were just great! I can't imagine how many volunteers each pavilion had. I think it is great that Brandon has that kind of support. I found out and I especially salute the German pavilion as they do a lot of work with the Crocus Plains high school. The students were the ones who made the pretzels and the candy apples and all that other kind of stuff there. I think that is a great experience for them and it shows they can be community involved with a profession that they belong in. It was a great time. We need this in the winter to help cheer up!
Dangerous walkways
I have sent two emails to the City of Brandon about the terrible system they have for cleaning and sanding sidewalks. If you are walking on the side streets you can walk on the street because there is not much traffic. You cannot walk on the street on the main arteries because of the heavy traffic. If you value living much longer and you cannot walk on most of the sidewalks since they are either all rutted or plugged with snow.
When will they learn crime does not pay ... that good?
I would like to extend thanks to a job well done by police in their Project Dilemma. Thanks for getting those drugs off the street and also for arresting those wayward crooks, when will they ever learn that crime doesn't pay that good?
Must find a balance
I found the remarks by the school board chair, Mark Sefton, somewhat disturbing. An interview in a local paper stated that he has advice for anyone wanting to run for school trustee in the next election. You need to know what your focus will be — the kids or saving taxpayers from increases. It has to be a balance of both. Not everyone can afford these increases every year, and the budget needs to be scrutinized carefully. I know that salaries are a huge portion of the money needed each year. Who stands up for the taxpayer in all of this?
Doing it their way
While the NDP originated from Saskatchewan's CCF Party, which was formed by ex-Communist Party members, it's no wonder that Manitoba's NDP don't give a "toot" about what Manitoba citizens think of their policies, that seem to originate from way back. They don't care what you think, they'll just do it their way, no matter what the cost to Manitoba taxpayers.

But Palestrina resigned his post as maestro at Saint Peter's and entered the chapel.
He received the bishopric of Albano and afterwards that of Palestrina.
Palestrina lived to be over eighty years of age, with manifold opportunities afforded him for the display of his genius.
And he reached Palestrina in safety, shaking the dust of Rome from his feet.
Palestrina's contemporaries, such as Lasso, and some of his predecessors, wrote in the same style.
Darwin had the trombone played to a plant, but he did not make a Palestrina.
He was succeeded by Palestrina, who had been his friend and probably his pupil.
Their several villas at Lanuvium, Palestrina, and Tivoli were all unpretentious.
The real Polyphony came in the sixteenth century with the school of Palestrina.
It was found at Palestrina, where several similar ones have recently been found.

We all poo! Yup. It may sound funny to say out loud and even read back, but we all do it. The gorgeous Victoria's Secret models are not exempt from this either, nor are any of People magazine's Sexiest Men Alive – we're talking to you, George Clooney! This is a reality and though it is one of the most taboo topics of discussion, it is also one of the most important ones to have in order to raise a global awareness.
No invention has saved more lives than the toilet. Since its creation, the toilet has brought great benefits to better sanitation, health and hygiene but every day, 2.6 billion suffer from improper access to clean sanitation. That means, a third of the world's population do not have somewhere safe, private and hygienic to go to the toilet. Can you imagine going to the toilet in a muddy ditch? Or defecating in rivers, lakes, fields or railway tracks? That is the reality for many around the world and fact is, more people today have a cell phone than a toilet. If that isn't reason enough to bring massive awareness to such an issue what is?
The World Toilet Organization (WTO), a Singapore non-profit that promotes health and sanitation founded in 2001 by Jack Sim has declared November 19th, World Toilet Day. The WTO's aim is to be a global network and service platform where all toilet and sanitation organizations can learn from one another and pull forth for media and global support while influencing governments to promote dependable sanitation and public health policies.
Since 2005, the WTO runs a World Toilet College, which gives training in essential sanitation issues needed to establish an independent world body, making certain that the best practices and standards in toilet design, cleanliness and sanitation technologies are adopted through education and preparation. Their college is the first and only training college of its kind and focuses much of the needs on rural and urban sanitation. Every year, a World Toilet Summit is held, breaking the taboo of toilet discussion.
World Toilet Day is celebrated in over 19 countries with over 51 events being hosted by various water and sanitation advocates. The day also helps to bring to the forefront not just the health but the emotional and psychological consequences the poor endure as a result of inadequate sanitation which is the leading cause of infection.
Toilets not only bring privacy, safety and dignity but for women and young girls, it means they don't need to suffer embarrassment from relieving themselves or cleaning up when menstruation begins and continue their education, becoming an asset to their community. With a toilet at their convenience, they don't have to wait until darkness, risking rape or encounters with wild animals and for families, it would mean they don't have to endure and go through pointless diseases that can be preventable.
Children in poor environments often carry 1,000 parasitic worms in their bodies at any time. It basically boils down to water. Water plays a big part with the sanitation crisis around the world. Globally, diarrhea is the leading cause of illness and death with 88% of diarrheal deaths due to the need for sanitary facilities. Sadly, most locations are surrounded by unsafe drinking water and the unavailability of water for hygiene. Every 20 seconds, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation which means, that's about 1.5 million preventable deaths each year.
In a recent article written by Matt Damon and Gary White of Water.org for The Huffington Post, the co-founders, who continue to rally around the goal of ensuring safe water and sanitation, explained that even today with solutions being made available and known, lack of access to safe water and sanitation continues to claim more lives through disease than any war claims through guns.
"On average, those living in slums pay 7-15 times more per litre of water than owners of nearby five-star hotels. This is because subsidies are largely delivered through unrealistically low water tariffs -- if you are too poor to afford a water connection, you can't capture the subsidy. Similarly, if you are a poor day labourer in Port-au-Prince and you want a drink of safe water to quench your thirst, you will pay 250 times more than the cost of New York City tap water. Those who lack cash pay with their time -- hours each day spent scavenging for water from public taps that frequently run dry, rivers, or even drainage ditches. There are nearly a billion people in this trap of water insecurity and about 2.5 billion lack a sanitary toilet."
Source: Safe Water and a Toilet -- Is That Too Much to Ask... for 2.5 Billion People?
As part of World Toilet Day this week, Water.org's co-founder, Matt Damon has teamed up with WorldToilet.org to basically, "talk sh*t" and bring awareness to such a cause while acknowledging the life-saving powers of a toilet. Starting this past Monday, individuals were able to authorize ToiletDay.org to post a daily status update from either their Facebook or Twitter account until World Toilet Day this Saturday, November 19th.
The "Talk Sh*t All Week" campaign is creatively using social media to spark conversation about global sanitation issues while drawing attention to a cause with clearly, a bit of humour. The campaign is a partnership between Water.org, the Gates Foundation, Acumen, ONE, WorldToilet.org, Change.org and Water for People.
It's been estimated that every dollar spent on water and sanitation generates returns of $8 in saved time, increased productivity and reduced health care costs. With water being the lifeblood of our bodies, our economy, our nation and our well-being, it is no surprise what a difference it makes for us when it's clean. However, in recent years it has become one of our natural resources that have suffered heavily from disregard.
Like the water crisis, this is another step to a massive issue that needs to be taken door-to-door. If left unresolved, life without a toilet not only will cause shame and missed opportunities but assist disease and death. If you would like to take part and raise a stink about the lack of sanitation for billions around the world, donate your voice through Twitter or Facebook today at ToiletDay.org!

Differential Dynamical Systems with Biological Applications
Cell Cycle Dynamics in Yeast
- with
Dr. Todd Young
Dr. Bastien Fernandez
Dr. Erik Boczko
Gregory Moses
Gong Xue
, and
Nathan Breitsch
A novel feedback mechanism for Yeast Autonomous Oscillation was proposed. The feedback is modeled as a system of coupled ordinary differential equations, or as a partial differential equation. In both cases, the coupling is more complicated than in typical DE models. Some of our work includes:
General existence and stability results for a broad range of clustered and non-clustered solutions of the basic ODE model
Extensions of these results to models including a gap or a mediating agent to increase biological realism
Preliminary results on the infinitie-dimensional analog using PDE conservation law techniques
The following animation shows the number of clusters forming in the mediated model with negative linear feedback after approximately 500 cell cycles in the mediated model with alpha ranging between 0.1 and 5.0. The regions of stability begin forming near the center and spread outward in a large series of bifurcations.

Bill to Change Neb. Redistricting Process Advances
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Lawmakers have advanced a bill that would overhaul Nebraska's process for drawing legislative and congressional districts.
Senators gave first-round approval Wednesday to a measure that would create an independent, bipartisan redistricting commission to propose new boundaries after each U.S. census. Lawmakers would select two members from each of Nebraska's congressional districts.
The measure would give lawmakers up to three up-or-down votes on new districts, after which the Nebraska Supreme Court would decide.
Sen. Russ Karpisek says the current process leads to districts where incumbents have no incentive to compromise. Some rural senators say the system increases urban Nebraska's political clout.
Opponents say they have technical concerns about the bill, and argue that redistricting powers should remain with lawmakers.
The bill moved on a 25-12 vote.

Discussion in 'CZ Announcement Zone' started by Reality, Jul 27, 2012.
Two good guys who'll do a great job. Great to have them aboard.
Reality already mentioned that for this year's staff party, in honor of the two new hires, he's not only going to have his usual spread of Ritz crackers and ChezWhiz...but...he's also going to have ice for the Frescas.
Kidding aside, I'd just like to add...when the heck did Sarge become a mod?
He bribed Reality with a case of PBR
Two good guys, the Bear heartily approves... congrats to both...
So, which one of you will be the first to give me my next infraction??
Not me. I'm going straight to ban. Me watching you. You feeling me.
It's all verifiable. :scream: Just follow the trail of empty beer cans. :
To jobberone and justbob:
Strap in, hunker down and hold on. It's gonna be one heck of a ride. Congratulations.
Gratz, guys!
And that worked??!?
I would have thought (hoped) that Reality had better taste than that...
Been nice knowing you guys...
Great, great choices both smart and level headed squares
Thanks again everyone ...Please note that instead of banning or infractions we are considering 180 day solitary on bed and water (banning is just not harsh enough, Bear)
Yeager got tired of giving me infractions and decided to retire? A sad day, indeed.

If you did want to get a really cheap computer, I have three of the Atom based processors. The whole system only cost me $140 each (that's with a 200GB HD and 2GB memory). Here is a list of these.
My thoughts as well. I used to administer some servers running Mac OS X, on which we had SSH running non-stop on the standard port.Quote:
This is excessively paranoid.
What about using public/private key authentication in addition to a password?
I always do that. Although it is probably true that using a non-standard port makes you less of a target, I find it somewhat of an attempt at security through obscurity. I reason that as long as the accounts that can be accessed via SSH have good passwords (especially with denyhosts limiting the number of incorrect tries), or are restricted to key based authentication, it should be good enough.Quote:
Originally Posted by DavidP

In fact, it might arguably make it less secure, since there are two things to keep secret instead of one (i.e., the password and the private key, or the password and the password protecting the private key), yet either one is enough. But if you disable password authentication and just use key based authentication, then you still have only one thing to keep secret.Quote:

Slow brute force server security - distributed slow SSH brute-force attacks - slow vs fast brute force attacks run over days or weeks and are distributed from an IP net of hundreds of IPs
This is just one of many. It describes exactly what I was seeing. With your SSH on a standard port you are one password away from being owned. Setting a strong password here really doesn't seem paranoid.
Further, moving the ssh to a non-standard port stopped the attempts altogether...so if I have discouraged the zombies from even trying, is that considered overly paranoid?
I'm pretty inexperienced here, but I am surprised to learn anybody uses ssh without keys. I thought the whole point of ssh was the public/private key system -- otherwise you might as well just use rlogin or something.
As for the "keyless" systems there are keys and then there are keys. Two basic types of SSH keys are ones you type from the keyboard and the ones I think you are thinking of as "keyless" are the public/private keys set up so that if you issue a keyset to a remote user, they can log in simply by using their name b/c the computer is auto-supplying the stronger key. It is not meaning "leave your system wide open".
And since it is a "horseshoes and handgrenades" type game, brute force is the only option. Like I said, it was my understanding that this was the whole purpose of ssh and using it without them is akin to installing a laser perimeter alarm -- then never plugging it in.
This is probably why my man at NASA says no one has got in that way in 10 years (ie, the entire time). If brute force attacks are all you guys are worried about, I'm gonna say you're beyond paranoid -- you're totally insane ;)

|One Dad's Sneaky Feat for Educational Excellence
Eventually, every kid will learn to multiply. It usually happens late in second grade. They will also learn about "opposites." That's basic kindergarten curriculum. In fourth grade, most school districts teach centrifugal force. In middle school, kids will learn how to bisect an angle with a compass and a straight edge. Your school district should be able to tell you exactly what they teach and when.
When a teacher introduces new concepts to a class full of kids, three things happen. One, it's immediately considered work. There's no choice involved and students have to put effort into learning these new ideas. A good teacher may be able to make it interesting, but it's still work that needs to be done. Second, some kids pick up on the concept faster than others. My wife often reminds me that not everything is a competition, but wouldn't you prefer your own kid to be in the winner's bracket when it comes to new topics in the classroom? Third, kids start making instant judgments concerning their classmates. "He's so smart." "He's so dumb." You can't fight it — that's just the way it is. But again, shouldn't we be setting our kids up for achievement?
Here's an idea. Not the week before. Not the semester before. But years before, go ahead and teach a few of these concepts to your kids. Make it a game!
Do you know a three year old? Ask them "What's the opposite of up?" They won't know. Tell them with great sincerity, "The opposite of up is down!" Then ask them, "What is the opposite of cold?" They won't know. Tell them the "The opposite of cold is hot!" Do the same with big/little, loud/quiet, slow/fast, closed/open, nice/mean, clean/dirty, yes/no, off/on, etc. Use your best vocal expressiveness, use your hands, look in their face, mime the answer as you say it. After four or five examples, suddenly their little face lights up and they understand! It's amazing. It's a rush for them and for you. In a couple years, when the kindergarten teacher starts teaching "opposites," your kid is going to be top of the class. Suddenly, they will be earmarked as a bright student worthy of special attention the rest of their school career. This is strategic fathering. Going into kindergarten all the moms have already made sure their kids know colors, ABCs, and two plus two. But only your kid will know "opposites." The best part is that you taught them!
Do the same with multiplication when your kid is in first grade. But don't ask, "What is five times two?" That sounds confusing. That's work. Instead, ask "What is five, two times?" Use your hands as demonstration. Then ask, "What is four, two times?" Then ask, "What is four, three times!" A sharp first grader (your kid) will get it. Be warned, you've turned learning into a game and they may never want to stop. That's when you know you have put them way ahead of the curve.
One more example. On the next nice day, invite your second grader out to your driveway to wash your car. Ask them if they think you can hold the bucket of water upside down over your head without spilling it. They will laugh and say "No way, daddy!" Then spin that bucket over your head without losing a drop. They'll be amazed, and you will have demonstrated centrifugal and centripetal force. (Look it up, if you don't remember.)
You can easily see how this concept can be applied to many life skills your kids need to know. Teach them to run hard through first base weeks before their first little league game. Take them for a drive around a big empty parking lot months before they begin driver's education. Help them commit to sexual purity years before their first date. Think about what future challenges your children will face, and prep them well ahead of time.
Are your kids smarter, more skilled or more athletic than all the others? It doesn't matter. This little bit of subterfuge is one of the great secrets of parenthood, especially for fathers. Dad, you're running a bit of a con game. Your kid may start out as average, but he or she won't be for long. Because everyone in that classroom has new heightened expectations for your child's performance.
Funny thing about expectations. They tend to come true.

As the final event of both the ASP North America season and the Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series, the opening day O'Neill Cold Water Classic saw local surfers dominate the competition at the infamous righthander.
Noi Kaulukukui (Santa Cruz, Calif.) opened up his O'Neill Cold Water Classic campaign in fine form this morning locking in the day's high heat total of a 16.00 out of a possible 20. Kaulukukui decimated the long walls on his forehand surfing with a speed and flare that went unrivaled by his opponents
"It was looking a little iffy with the tide coming in and I actually read the tide book this morning and thought it was going to be way high tide for my heat," Kaulukukui said. "However, it turned out to be medium tide and the waves just started popping up."
As the day progressed, the locals would continue to dominate the competition with eight surfers from Santa Cruz advancing out of round one today.
Peter Garaway (Santa Cruz, Calif.), winner of this morning's trials, tore the bag out of a long roping righthander this afternoon to secure the day's highest single-wave score of an 8.67 out of a possible 10.
"The momentum (from this morning's trials heats) definitely helped as I haven't done a contest for the past three years," Garaway said. "My nerves were kicking in at the start because I just decided to do the event last night and I got into the locals trials round as an alternate. I got through those first two heats and I'm feeling more confident with each round."
The high-flying action of this morning's trials rounds was punctuated by the devastating injury sustained by Austin Smith-{{{Ford}}} (Santa Cruz, Calif.).
Smith-Ford, pushing his limits in an attempt to qualify for the main event, fell too close to the rocks and received a four-inch gash to his backside.
"The force of the wave pushed him into the cliff – there was really nowhere to go," Garaway, fellow competitor, said. "We could see the blood as we started paddling in."
The young natural-footer was helped in by his fellow competitors where he was treated by event staff before being taken to the local hospital.
The Oakley Pro Junior (an ASP grade-two event), running in conjunction with the O'Neill Cold Water Classic, will commence on Friday, October 20th, 2006, featuring some of the best junior competitors (aged 20 and under) in world vying for their last opportunity at qualifying for the prestigious ASP World Junior Championships.
The top-four finishers on the ASP North America Pro Junior series, along with Alex Gray (Palos Verdes, Calif.) will be sent to the ASP World Junior Championships held in Narrabeen, New South Wales, Australia. Gray has already secured his entry by being the highest-ranked North America surfer of the WQS who is of junior age – Gray is currently ranked 43rd.

MoMA Is Accused of Anti-Israel Tilt on Documentary Film Series (NEW YORK SUN) BY JACOB GERSHMAN - Staff Reporter of the Sun 01/31/05)
Source: http://www.nysun.com/article/8452
NEW YORK SUN Articles-Index-Top
Israel´s alleged repression of Palestinian Arabs has emerged as a major theme of an upcoming exhibition of documentary films at the Museum of Modern Art. The lineup features four films that blame Israel for the suffering of Arabs living in Israel and those living in the occupied territories.
Organizers of the exhibition at MoMA, which runs from February 10 to 28, said the purpose of the documentary film series is to highlight provocative issues around the globe. Critics of the museum said they are alarmed that all of the exhibition´s films concerning the conflict in the Middle East take a starkly anti-Israel stance.
"We thought it was so one-sided," the executive director of the Boston based Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, Andrea Levin, said. "At the very least, they should add some other documentaries. If they want to give a completely distorted picture - if that´s their intention - then they´re doing it."
The organizer of the annual exhibition, Sally Berger, refused to comment to The New York Sun and directed inquiries about the event to a MoMA publicist, who was unavailable for comment yesterday.
One of the films scheduled for screening, "Forbidden to Wander," tells the story of a 25-year-old Arab-American Christian woman, Susan Youssef, who travels throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 2002.
While escaping from an Israeli attack on Gaza City, she is rescued by a Palestinian man, with whom she becomes romantically involved, according to the film´s Web site.
"Forbidden to Wander" depicts Israelis as seen through the eyes of average Palestinians, as soldiers in tanks enforcing the curfew, glimpsed through half-shut window panes and resisted for the sake of normalcy (so that children can play, even if it is at dusk) as much as for political reasons," a description of the film on the Web site states.
"World protest against the current US ´War on Terrorism´ suggests that "Forbidden to Wander" not only must be seen, but that an audience already exists that would eagerly embrace a more complex representation of Palestinian experiences."
Another film, "Paradise Lost," directed by an Arab Israeli, Ebtisam Mara´ana, explores the life of a Palestinian woman living in an Arab Israeli fishing village who, in the 1970s as a Palestine Liberation Organization activist, "became a role model for many young women," the Web site of the film´s distributor, Women Make Movies, says.
Another documentary scheduled for screening is "Still Life," a 15- minute film directed by Cynthia Madansky. In it, "landscapes in the Palestinian territories, reduced to rubble, reveal the destructive effects of occupation," the description of the film appearing on MoMA´s exhibition Web site says.
The 17-minute "Detail" by an Israeli filmmaker, Avi Mograbi, shows in part the plight of a Palestinian family unable to transport a sick child to a hospital because of an Israeli roadblock. The film was also shown last month at an Amnesty International film festival in Seattle. According to MoMA´s Web site, the film features "three scenes from the occupied Palestinian territories" that "expose how border controls incite confrontation."
Opposition to MoMA´s documentary exhibition is reminiscent of the brouhaha surrounding Boston´s Institute of Contemporary Art in 1991 when it sponsored a Palestinian film festival. That event was ultimately canceled, but not before the vice president of the institute, Steven Grossman, resigned, reportedly to protest the exclusion of a pro-Israel view.
The MoMA exhibition includes a total of 44 films, according to a schedule, including several others that are against American foreign policy. Another Israeli film, "Purity," offers a "rare look into the world of religious Jewish married life," the MoMA Web site states. (© 2005 The New York Sun, One SL, LLC. 01/31/05)

| I think that the whole issue of evaluating the safety, financial impact, and overall feasibility of importing drugs is a complete deflection of the real problem.
The real problem is the lack of price regulations at home. Importing drugs, even in the safest of the cases, only creates more bureaucracy, more middle-men, and, overall, higher cost. Why can't Americans be direct consumers from American distribuitors and retailers? Why do we have to create revenues for foreign distribuitors, pay import taxes, and create more confussion for our elders?
A more cost effective approach would be for our government to do what goverments of the countries we are anticipating to import from, have done: put a cap on how much pharmaceutical companies can charge for their products.
With all due respect to members of the commission charged with studying this issue, I think it is a waste of time and money. Effort should instead focus on solving the root of the problem.

Southern California's true freshman quarterback Matt Barkley lost one of his main offensive targets when wide receiver Ronald Johnson went down with a broken collarbone. Johnson was hurt in the team's Saturday scrimmage after catching a pass from Barkley.
The junior, who had 33 catches for 570 yards last season, will be out six to eight weeks. If the timetable holds true, Johnson will not be available when the Trojans face Ohio State and possibly miss games at California and Notre Dame.
Without Johnson, there will be more asked of leading receiver Damian Williams. Defenses will be putting more focus on Williams, meaning other receivers David Ausberry and Brice Butler will be under the microscope. Both are talented recruits that need to produce to help Barkley avoid growing pains.

A committee of city and county officials has begun meeting to continue a long planned and partially begun truck alternate route around Park Rapids to route heavy industrial traffic away from the downtown area.
The initial step was to begin the route off U.S. Highway 71 north near the defunct Candle Factory north of Park Rapids in 2006. That's been completed to Highway 34.
Then County Road 15, from Itasca-Mantrap to Industrial Park Road, was completed, giving truck traffic a southern route around the city.
But that was co8unty engineer Dave Olsonawski's idea independent of the truck route plan, he said.
"The city of Park Rapids only had one crossing and that was the bridge on Highway 34," Olsonawski said.
"So I suggested we try to get federal money to build this road because it dead-ended at the river," he said. "15 never existed. I had to move some miles around. The city and I traded some roads. We built the bridge there.
"Half of it's in city limits. And the south half is in the township so we went ahead. That was basically the start of the storm sewer," he added,
Eventual plans call for a 2-mile stretch down the western edge of the city, to be paved due south of Highway 34. The bypass would end at the southern edge of the Park Rapids Municipal Airport, Olsonawski said, then head back east to Highway 71.
Funding will be crucial in determining the route's future, Olsonawski said.
"I haven't run any numbers on it," he said of the potential cost.
"Right now it's costing us roughly $450,000 a mile at today's costs but we're taking maybe four, five, six years out. Even if you use half a million in costs of grading base and bit (bituminous paving), $2 million is not a bad number to use."
David Collins is a committee member looking at extending the route. He said safety is one of the committee's aims. The downtown area is simply not designed for truck traffic, he said.
"The McDonald's corner is really bad," Collins said. "It's not made for truck turns.
"The route right now is on the line between two townships so they would have to vacate the roads, the county would take it over and there's funding formulas so we were trying to see if the politics and timing were right and if everyone would be on board to start putting that one in the chute," Collins said.
So we're trying to get the townships (Todd and Straight River) and RDO and the city and the county and the airport and test the waters to see if there's any opposition to get the process started."
"There's not much to report until we can find out if we can get some money and then start the discussions and get the township on board," Olsonawski said.

Summer Lies: Stories (original 2010; edition 2012)
by Bernhard Schlink
Work details
Summer Lies by Bernhard Schlink (2010)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
What a wonderful collection of short stories. Some were truly ominous in a subtle way that crept up on me. Others, incredibly moving.
This is, overall, a very strong collection of seven interesting, longish short stories. Most of them are generally about the disenchantment of weath, success, family and love and take place in various parts of Europe and the U.S. Something made me care about these people though, despite how pathetic that last sentence just sounded. Truly though, not all who acquire the things we all want, marriage, a successful career, etc., are happy, and these stories show that. Or maybe, more accurately, they are not sure if they are happy. Schlink is a graceful writer who seems to, in equal parts, care about his characters and dislike them (and there seems a bit of glee in watching them implode). All of the stories are a bit (or a lot) unsettling and the most disturbing one was actually the story I liked the most, "The House In The Forest" about a failed author, married to another writer and she quickly becomes the "it" author of the decade, demanding all of her time traveling and when she is home working. To try to contain her, he becomes the stay at home Father to their little girl and they buy a house out of NYC and in the country on the border of Vermont. Slowly he starts to unravel, but in such a way that was so incredibly real and creepy. Recommend these stories highly and if I had one complaint it was the repetitive them of disenchantment amongst so many characters who, buy most people's estimation, have everything they could want. Every story seemed to touch on that.

Following the arrival of the couple's first child, a representative for the couple confirms that 'both mom and baby are doing great.'
Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas have become parents for the first time. The couple's first child together, a baby boy, arrived on May 29. "Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas welcomed a baby boy yesterday, May 29. This is their first child. Both mom and baby are doing great," their representative told PEOPLE.
Goodwin and Dallas met on the set of "Once Upon a Time" where they play Snow White and Prince Charming. They got engaged in October 2013 and announced that they were expecting their first child in November. Dallas married his heavily pregnant girlfriend in April. "They were surrounded by their nearest and dearest friends and kept it very intimate and simple," a source told E! News of their wedding.
During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in April, Goodwin talked about her wedding and naming her first child, saying that the baby would have the "greatest" surname. "Naming a child, though, with the last name of Dallas is a little more complicated," she told Jimmy Kimmel.
"Not a first name that begins with a D because it gets corny and nothing geographical because it sounds like an airport. He was like, 'Boy or girl, Austin Dallas.' I was like, 'That is an actual place where planes land. We can't do that,' " she shared back then.

can be seen by the survival of the
village of Fanningstown in
County Limerick.
The O'Fionnain Gaelic Sept of North
Connaught also occasionally

LONDON: Just two Tests ago, six former England cricket captains were leading the call for incumbent Alastair Cook's head and doubting the durability of fast bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad.
The criticism was justified and the defiant Cook called it his darkest time.
Then he, Anderson and Broad helped England to crush India at the Rose Bowl and Old Trafford to set up an incredible chance to win the five-Test series at the Oval.
It's a chance England can't afford to waste, Cook said on Thursday.
"We have made a big stride forward the last few weeks as a side," he said. "This is another little challenge for us - how do you cope when you are up in the series? Can we finish the job?"
With Cook (and Ian Bell) scoring again, the attention is on his bowlers. Anderson is eight wickets away from becoming England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker (Ian Botham holds the record with 383), Moeen Ali has emerged as a serious attacking option as a spinner with an impressive 19 wickets in his second series, and Broad should play with a nose broken by a Varun Aaron bouncer in the fourth Test.
Broad, man-of-the-match in the fourth Test, practised on Thursday with a splint over his nose. Cook was unsure if he will wear it during the Test, but said he expects him to be "absolutely fine" to start on friday.
With a 2-1 lead in the series, a draw would be enough for England to take the series and complete a remarkable turnaround from 1-0 down after going 10 Tests without a win.
"Broady said to me this morning, it doesn't seem a year ago since we were lifting up the Ashes," Cook said.
"I said, 'Yeah, it might not to you, but it does to me.' A lot happened over that next year and that is, I suppose, the beauty of sport, that you don't know what is going to happen."
That unpredictability encourages the Indians, who can save face and tie the series with a second win after prevailing at Lord's.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni wants his men to focus session by session.
"It is never that the result is more important than the process," Dhoni said.
"It is always the process that will be the key because that puts less pressure on the team. It is a very important Test match but at the same time, it is a breaking up of the sessions that will really give us an advantage."
He reiterated his desire to see his top-order batsmen contribute, after criticising them at the end of the fourth Test where India made just 152 and 161.
"The batsmen have been working with their technique, and it is a matter of time before it starts showing.
"Because of not getting good opening partnerships, we have been exposing the No.3 batsman. Cheteshwar Pujara (averaging 25) has had to face that pressure all the time."
Dhoni still does not know if Ishant Sharma will be available.
The fast bowler has not played since suffering a leg injury taking Test-best figures of 7-74 at Lord's to give India a lead in the series.

Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling,
Gingham is coming my way.
A hem, sorry, getting a little carried away there. Where was I? Oh yes, gingham. A member of the check family, I believe. Most often seen in black and white, red and white, or blue and white.
It took me a long time to come around to gingham. Like pink it felt to girly and sweet to me. It just seems very very difficult to make gingham edgy.
But I cam around to gingham when I spotted this adorable tennis dress in a local vintage shop. It was muslin and looked very cool and light, and something that woudl pair with flats. All top concerns for my wardrobe and upcoming Comic Con.
It was labeled 1970s but I think it might be more late 1960s. Here's a range of vintage red and white gingham from 1940 ~ 1970.
Mine would seem to slide in at late 1960s but I suppose it could be 1970s.
It's actually meant to be tighter and shorter on someone a bit larger than me, but I liked it so much as a more 1920's loose feel (and this way it fit the Rack). I walked away from it the first time and then went back after contemplating it for a couple weeks, luckily it was still waiting for me.
I wore it with cream accessories and cream flats. I made a silly little hat out of a knitted pettit four that a reader gave to me in Portland. (More on that in a separate DIY blog to come.)
As I said, gingham as been around forever. Here's a little retrospective . . .
Before the turn of the century:
The 1930s
The 1940s
The 1950s
The 1960s
And some modern takes on gingham.Some even manage to be almost not retro.
Next up, silly DIY hat. I leave you with self much appreciating a lovely cup of tea at Comic Con mid day. Small pleasures make all the difference.
Retro Rack is also on facebook where I post additional images and fashion thoughts.

Knox and rollock use this word.Like; same as likely; probable.
Everyone of us started at the jovial sound of old rollock the planter's voice, shouting, 'All's right, my boys!'
rollock was promised that as the college increased "in policy and learning" he should be advanced to the highest post created.
Mr. rollock was descended from the antient family of the Livingstons.
He went to Edinburgh University; his governor was the respected Mr. rollock.

Old rollock's dismay was so comical that I could scarce find in my heart to ease his mind, as I did.

Hi Rosemary,
I had to go back and check what I sent out to the mailing list, because I
DO have Samantha in my FTM files, and I don't know WHY it didn't come out
with the rest. As a matter of fact, when I look in the Note section, I
based my Samantha information on something that you once wrote to
Hope. Sure is a puzzle as to why it didn't come out in the list!
Here's what I am referring to in my notes section on her:
I sure would like to be able to prove kinship to you through the FRANKS
family! <g>
Mine and Elvada's Cynthia FRANKS married James LAWRENCE. Their daughter,
Samantha, married Jesse Jeffery (grandson of James and Jane). Samantha and
Jesse's daughter, Mary "Molly" Levina married Millard HANKS.
Our cousin, Noel Jeffery, told Elvada and me that he had always heard that
Samantha was half Indian....wonder which half - the Franks or the Lawrence?
Do you know if any of your Franks married into the Lawrence family and if
any of them were Indian?
Thanks for the references to the JEFFERY "boys" and I will be sure to check
as to whether I have them attached or not.
You know, now that I have the fact that Lucinda was married into one of the
families so close in ties, it makes me think that I might just find her
sister, N. Amanda MAYFIELD, b., married to someone familiar as well!
:) At this time, I have nothing on her at all, do you? Nor, do I have
anything on Elizabeth, another sister (b. 1839). Guess I need to scour
the census records to see whether I can find someone with the same first
names and birth years living in another household. Well.....add another
two sisters to the quest! Mary J., born 1832, and Catherine J., b.
1843. So many many blanks still unanswered in that family.
As for kindness in small towns, perhaps you are right. I sure am glad that
I found so much of it, too!
If you do get over to the Old Mayfield Cemetery, let me know. I would love
to know how to get to it for the future.

Black Friday may not yet be a bigger holiday than Thanksgiving, but it certainly has a bigger marketing budget. Retailers may have needed it to overcome the term's long and negative history.
And that's well before you get to talk of striking Walmart workers, or violence involving impatient shoppers in recent years.
Older generations may still associate "Black Friday" with the stock market crash of 1929, which triggered the Great Depression. But the connotation of financial distress dates back even further, to the collapse of the U.S. gold market on Sept. 24, 1869.
"The term Black Friday survived to be used again and again for various disasters and unfortunate events, including a 1910 incident in England where police assaulted several hundred suffragettes at a protest," notes Richard Townley in The Washington Times.
What does any of this have to do with shopping? Perhaps nothing. But even the earliest references to Black Friday as a post-Thanksgiving retail spree were negative.
The term appears to have originated about 50 years ago among police in Philadelphia inconvenienced by downtown crowds kicking off the holiday shopping season. Those crowds added to congestion from traffic in town for the Army-Navy football game, which in that era was generally played in Philly the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Black Friday "was not a happy term," department store historian Michael J. Lisicky told CBS News last year. "The stores were just too crowded, the streets were crowded, the buses and the police were just on overcall and extra duty."
Even a sales manager at the department store Gimbels in Philadelphia back in 1975 acknowledged the term's negative connotation and link to traffic headaches. "That's why the bus drivers and cab drivers call today 'Black Friday,' " she told The Associated Press, while watching a policeman struggle with a crowd of jaywalkers. "They think in terms of the headaches it gives them."
"Prior to the mid-1980s, the term 'Black Friday' was always used for some calamitous event," columnist Paul Mulshine wrote in New Jersey's Star-Ledger. "All of that negativity makes sense. 'Black Friday' has a naturally gloomy sound to it."
Of course retailers have long since embraced it, holding that the "black" in "Black Friday" is borrowed from accounting, meaning they hope to get "in the black" for the year by dint of holiday sales.

Ugly Gun Sunday
The holes making the pistol lighter is probably offset by the amount of dirt and lint the thing carries if the pistol is actually used.

That's like cutting the bumpers and fins off of a '57 Cadillac.
Someone butchered an otherwise very expensive gun.
To paraphrase Shepard Book: There's a special level of hell for someone that would do that to a P210. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.
At first it looked like someone had put together a gun using an erector set.
Yeah, nothing's gonna get caught up in that monstrosity.
What a shame
I don't know, looks like it'll go kinda nice with a spiral notebook. :-0
Someone wanted this gun to look a little more like gyrojet.
someone deserves a....no,a ENTIRE football teams amount of kicks to the nuts for doing that abortion to such a wonderful firearm...worst thing,it doesnt even LOOK good.
talent for keeping the lines straight aside.....
what an eeeeeeediot
Ugh. That's just wrong. And I don't even like Sigs.
"fprqqrgk" was the word verification, and that's about what I said when I saw that poor 210.
It reminds me of the guns in the remake of "Romeo and Juliet".
I think you've just identified the March 2, 2008 Ugly Gun. I've been trying to figure out what that "unidentified" gun was ever since you posted it. This looks like the same thing only not quite so decorated.
"dirt and lint"...
and cookie fortunes, and loose wodges of lipstick, and coins and- and- and-
It is both a factory cutaway and some kind of semi-useful lightened custom job.
After seeing this picture, I'm rather relieved.
It apparently is a factory cutaway, albeit with a color job and new grips.

Distinguished Professor
Research InterestTheoretical evolutionary biology
1987 - Ph.D., Moscow State University (USSR)
Depending on the context, I call myself a theoretical evolutionary biologist (most of the time) or an applied mathematician (sometimes). I use mathematical models to study complex evolutionary processes. Over the last several years, my research interests have mostly concentrated on the following major areas: social and cultural evolution, speciation and adaptive radiation, sexual conflict, holey fitness landscapes, and micro-evolutionary processes and macro-evolutionary patterns. I have also studied mathematical models aiming to describe/explain maintenance of genetic variation in natural populations, dynamics of genetic variation under selection, frequency-dependent selection and coevolution, maternal and parental effects, hybrid zones and clines, and spatially heterogeneous selection.
