I've been sitting on this review for three weeks. I started reading 'Steve Jobs' by Walter Isaacson at about 11:45PM on Sunday, October 23. I finished it at around 4:00AM on Wednesday, October 26. Suffice it to say, that's the quickest I've ever read any book that was over 600 pages. I read it, appropriately, on my iPad.
If Steve Jobs were a fictional character, he'd be one of Shakespeare's tragic heroes—brash, narcissistic, ambitious, bratty, and willful. He thought he could change the world he lived in just by thinking about it. Whether by willing an engineer to do better (which often they did) or by implementing his vision of technology, he did in fact change his world and the world around him. He could even will himself to believe that truth didn't exist—his first daughter, Lisa, and his cancer. He was a walking contradiction. Consider:
- A hacker, hippie who wanted to turn everything he saw into commerce
- An orphan with a fear of abandonment who abandoned and then denied paternity of his own child
- A defiant, anti-authoritarian who ended up building a draconian company
- An anti-materialist who created products hordes of people lust for
- An obsessive control freak who, at times, had no idea how to control himself
- A man whose results were about making profits, but he didn't care about money and lived simply
- A man who sought out father figures, but didn't end up being much of one himself
- A man so smart, yet so stupid–thinking diets would make him clean enough that he didn't shower, or that they could cure his cancer
The book reads more like a history of Apple than a book about a man. There are bits and pieces that aren't about Apple, NeXT or Pixar—his adolescence, peeks into his family life, his love life—but Steve Jobs and Apple are one, and above all, this is that story.
For those looking to get a deeper understanding of how Jobs treated people and his philosophy on design and creating products, the book amply does that. My take-aways are:
- Jobs was even more of an asshole than I already knew
- Jobs was even more integral in the development of Apple products than I knew
- Jobs cried a lot
While it's clear that the core of Steve Jobs is a passion for perfection whose fear of abandonment and betrayal guided much of what he did, the decisions he made, the people he palled around with, but we never get to the core of why he treated people as he did. There's no real explanation for his behavior. The best we can figure is that's "just how he is."
This baffled even his dearest friends, including his "design soul mate", Jony Ive:
"He's a very, very sensitive guy. That's one of the things that makes his antisocial behavior, his rudeness, so unconscionable."
Of course Steve's "reality distortion field" is a frame for a lot of interactions with Steve. It was a powerful force. Time and time again people are quoted as saying they were fully aware of it and still got trapped by it. Andy Hertzfeld, the primary architect of the original Macintosh Operating System, most eloquently defines Jobs's "reality distortion field":
"The reality distortion field was a confounding mélange of a charismatic rhetorical style, indomitable will, and eagerness to bend any fact to fit the purpose at hand."
Death, like a light blanket, is draped over the story of Steve Jobs. Not only because the writing of the book commenced after Jobs became sick, but also because the story ends just weeks before he died. Jobs had a lot of premonitions early in his career. One of those was that he always thought he would die young. Isaacson writes,
Jobs confided in Sculley that he believed he would die young, and therefore he needed to accomplish things quickly so that he would make his mark on Silicon Valley history.
This notion of an early death as a reason to work fast and hard is repeated a few times in the book, recounted by multiple people.
There are many interesting and entertaining passages in the book that provide a lot of insight into how Steve Jobs and Apple worked. Mike Markkula, Apple's first investor and third co-founder, wrote a one-page paper called "The Apple Marketing Philosophy" which turned out to be the guiding principles that stuck with Jobs inside and outside of Apple. The philosophy stressed three main points, which I'm paraphrasing:
- Empathy. Understanding what the customer needs
- Focus. In order to do a good job, unimportant opportunities and distractions must be eliminated
- Impute. Perception is everything and the best stuff must be presented in a way to avoid shoddiness
And then there's Bill Gates, a recurring character throughout the book as Jobs's best frenemy. I think the book helps Gates's reputation by positioning him as Jobs's polar opposite–the calm, stable, thoughtful, level-headed competitor. That's not really who Gates was, but that's what Isaacson makes him seem like compared to Jobs. Gates has quite a few zingers which I found endearing. My favorite quote from Bill Gates comes in an interview with the Washington Post regarding Jobs's NeXT computer:
"His product comes with an interesting feature called incompatibility. It doesn't run any of the existing software. It's a super-nice computer. I don't think if I went out to design an incompatible computer I would have done as well as he did."
And then there's a lovely passage involving Wendell Weeks, the CEO of Corning Glass, the company that made the Gorilla Glass used on the iPhones. When Jobs attempted to contact Weeks by phone, his assistant answered and refused to connect him even after explaining, "No, I'm Steve Jobs." Jobs complained to Weeks that it was "typical East Coast bullshit" to which Weeks then called Apple and asked to speak to Jobs and was told, "to put his request in writing and send it by fax." Classic.
When Jobs finally met with Weeks, Jobs insisted that the glass wasn't good enough and tried to explain how to make glass.
This amused Weeks, who of course knew more than Jobs about that topic. "Can you shut up," Weeks interjected, "and let me teach you some science?"
One would think, when facing death, that it changes you in some respects. There are quite a few passages in which Jobs breaks down crying when reflecting on moments and people in his life. It seems like he did truly care and had some regrets, but death didn't change his stubbornness or his taste. When recovering from a liver transplant…
Even when he was barely conscious, his strong personality came through. At one point the pulmonologist tried to put a mask over his face when he was deeply sedated. Jobs ripped it off and mumbled that he hated the design and refused to wear it.
I think taste and a designer's eye can be learned over time. Some people are just born with it and it's so buried, so engrained in their spirit that it defines them. This is the case of Steve Jobs. He had an opinion on everything and wasn't afraid to speak his mind regardless of who it was or what the object was. When Jobs met with record label executives for the first time…
After four slides, he waved his hand and broke in. "You have your heads up your asses," he said.
Even if you've closely followed Steve Jobs over the years, the book is an interesting read. But I can't help but be disappointed. It seems like Isaacson missed an opportunity. At times I wondered when I'd learn something new about the early years of Apple, and other than the courtship and betrayal by John Sculley, it reads like many of the Apple books I already own.
But there's a deeper reason why I was disappointed. I didn't get a sense of finality. Unless I totally missed it, he doesn't even mention the date Steve Jobs died. Isaacson didn't include any post-mortem thoughts or any sense of the magnitude of his death and the media coverage and global outpouring that followed. It seems to me that's a pretty important part of the Steve Jobs story. It just feels like Isaacson took the easy way out.

I've been rejected over 30 times and it was all because I'm ugly. What do I do?
Most Helpful Girl
You're under 18 lol relax, even if you are ugly now, you could still have a chance to blossom into a handsome man. Even if you don't, someone will still like you. I've seen plenty of butt ugly men and women in relationships. And no, they're not rich. I'm from the ghettos of Chicago. No one around here has enough money to compensate their looks.
I've been rejected quite a bit, and maybe I am ugly. But I'm still waiting and holding out hope.00|00|0
"Someone will still like you". That's what I'm afraid of. Only one person likes me. What if I'm not attracted to her? Or we date and then break up? How am I suppose to search for another girl when she was the only one that likes me?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My education (as per the education equivalent evaluation):
3 years of bachelors degree from India (equivalent to US bachelor's degree in business administration & computer science) and
3 years of master degree from India (equivalent to US Master's degree in computer science).
My experience: total 8 years in IT (5 years in India & 3 years in US).
Will my case be considered under EB2 or EB3 category?
I'm a little uncomfortable with you stating that 3 year degrees in India are equal to 4 year US degrees.
You should pay an educational evaluation company to provide a report for you.

my education equivalency company report says that my foreign master degree is equivalent to US Master's degree in computer science.
That is a very good start ... now you should talk to your company's immigration lawyer.
If USCIS accepts the evaluation and agrees that you possess the equivalent of an advanced degree, you should be considered under the EB-2 category provided that the job requires an advanced degree.

Most likely EB3, as your bachelor's is not a 4 year degree.
Your employer needs to retain an experienced immigration lawyer, whether myself or one of my colleagues, to review all the facts, advise them, and handle the case.

I agree with Samuel. If an qualified evaluator equates your foreign Master's degree to an advanced U.S. degree, you may qualify for EB-2. Having said that, the evaluation still has the same footing of a recommendation. USCIS ultimately decides whether the job is one which requires an advance degree and whether it comes under that category. Talk to an experienced immigration attorney after you have been offered a job requiring an advanced degree so he/ she gets the complete picture.

Once upon a time, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Eventually they died and turned into oil - which humanity has decided to refine, burn, crack (thank you free-radical chemistry), and otherwise form into interesting monomers and polymers. Some humans decided these petroleum products should be used for lubricating their chains and bottom brackets; which has (among many other causes) ultimately led to the formation of the BikeLab.

Artist: Gaspare Traversi (Italian, Neapolitan, ca. 1722–1770)
Date: ca. 1758
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 67 3/4 x 48 1/4 in. (172.1 x 122.6 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Gwynne Andrews Fund, 1968
Accession Number: 68.182
Margaret of Cortona, a thirteenth-century nun, was canonized in 1728. She is shown wearing the habit of a Franciscan Tertiary, holding a crucifix, and gazing into the face of an angel who has appeared to her holding a crown of thorns. In the background, Satan, who had attempted to persuade her to return to her former sinful life, flees into the fire of Hell. The dog is Margaret of Cortona's attribute, and the child is her illegitimate son. Typical of Traversi is his conception of the saint as an ordinary peasant and the description of the brick floor and wooden beams of her simple house.

Can I use any craft Spray Gun! A friend of mine bought a good one years ago for craft stuff and its a small one NEVER BEEN OPENED or used! And Ive been advised by craft enthusiasts that u can use them for cake work!
Im a lil sceptical & want to ask from all the CAKE enthusiasts out there CAN U USE a for cake spray painting?
Im just a NEWbie in this community & food preping Ive only made 3 major bday cakes for som & two for friends So Im still wet behind ears in all this! But I want to learn what I can cos Im HOOKED on Icing creations! I LOVE it & I want to start a li lbusiness doing kids/novelty creative cakes!
The spray gun I have is called a Pasche I just have to get a compressor If I CAN use this one & Im set BUT ANY TIPS would be GREAT!
Im gunna do practise runs b4 the real thing but I want a rendered effect on a cake that looks like the pictures below!
Any airbrush will work. It's the compressor that makes the difference. You want one that you can adjust the psi on. Too much pressure and you'll blow holes in your cake. You also need a moisture trap on it.
True, any air brush will work.
I would also recommend using a specifically made for food aka food safe unit. I mean can you be sure that there's not a lead part in there or something potentially unsavory? Not uncommon with paint not uncommon these days in lots of stuff.
Food safe is better and the only kind I would use.

Credit Gary Ross Dahl with genuine insight. Back in the mid-'70s, the veteran advertising executive had an epiphany: With the right marketing, you can get people to buy anything.
Thus was born the Pet Rock, a fad from that decade only slightly less embarrassing than platform shoes and mullets. OK, way less embarrassing than the mullet, but still.
Dahl, who died in Oregon last week of heart disease at 78, became wealthy when his clever gimmick went on sale in 1975. But his contribution to science is often given short shrift.
By selectively cross-breeding wild rocks, Dahl eventually was able to develop a domesticated strain with the personality traits to make them ideal house pets.
Also, they didn't poop.
Sure, some people took it too far back then. An elderly woman in our neighborhood was known as "the crazy rock lady," while restaurants had to impose bans on Pet Rocks to avoid health code violations. Then there were the "Pet Rock mills," of which the less said, the better.
But as with all fads, interest faded once people realized there was new stupid stuff to waste their money on.
So farewell, Gary Dahl. Sure, you pried a lot of money out of willful suckers, but you did it with good humor. And you never wore a mullet.
This story, "Pet Rock creator dies, leaving a mournful nation wondering how such a dumb gimmick caught on" was originally published by Fritterati.

So a guy keeps asking nicely by text, facebook messages if you would like to hang out but you do not really like this guy. You do not want to be rude and say no so you reply that you are busy. What would you do if he kept asking but not that often, but once every 2 weeks? would you keep saying you are busy, would you just hang out or would you tell him you don't want to hang out?
You are in the same class but almost never talk because the class is so big
- Keep saying you are busyVote A
- Go out at least once or twice even though you don't want toVote B
- Reply that you do not like him and don't want to hang outVote C
- Ignore the messagesVote D
- otherVote E
Guys can not vote on this poll
Most Helpful Girl
I said A. But if you want to turn this around,
(1) Stop asking her if she wants to hang out cold turkey
(2) Be polite to her, go to parties where everyone is there and act as friendly to her as any other girl in the class (she'll start to feel less special because you're giving your attention to others)
(3) Approach her later on with a neutral question about something related to what you guys are studying. And DO YOUR HOMEWORK on her - talk for a while about that boring homework shit, and then start to end the conversation... but ask her about something she's super into. For example..."oh thanks for your insight on the homework.. What are you into on the weekend? I hear there's a concert for ****** going on." And this is not you asking her on a date, but just getting her to open up on who she's interested in. And when a couple months role by and that concert pops up... you're amazing for remembering she likes that group... it's very seductive for a guy to remember things like that.
Also note, a couple months don't have to go by... you can get her with sweet gestures as long as you find out and remember details of the things that make her feel the most comfortable00|00|0

"In appreciation of Leighton Hospital"
About: Leighton Hospital Leighton Hospital Crewe CW1 4QJ
Posted by Anonymous
In appreciation of Leighton Hospital and staff
Dear Dr
I understand that the professionals in hospitals work with the same bureaucratic overtones that I experienced in education and it is with that in mind that I write to you.
I must say at the outset that my on-going experience at Leighton Hospital has been exemplary in all departments. I had a Hindfoot Fusion in December last year. I have known the doctor since 2009 when they performed a successful ankle joint replacement.
Before the operation I was a frequent visitor to the appliances department where I received such skilful care.
The in-patient experience started with the pre-operative assessment, thorough and friendly. Then to ward 9 on the day of the operation. That ward must be a wonderful example of all that is excellent practice in a hospital. The care and concern I experienced was second to none and applied to everybody with whom I came in contact. Then came visits to outpatients. I came by an efficient and helpful ambulance service that was prompt, patient and had delightful senses of humour [most of them].
Visits to the plaster room [of which there were many] were always a good experience often with laughter, always with care and consideration and under the supervision of the nurse.
But I must express unstinting thanks and praise for the doctor who was [and is] a strength through all this and for whom I have the greatest respect for so many reasons. They have been a helpful and caring guide and is much appreciated. I am now able to walk more or less normally for the first time in five years and am hoping that the fusion is successful
May the quality of skill and care long continue.
Response from Leighton Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Thank you for your comments on the care that you received in many of the departments at Leighton Hospital.

Bridge Basics
One common cause of confusion in the networking world is the difference between a bridge and a router, and the difference in the expected behavior of each. This essay will outline the reasons bridges were created, define the expected behavior of a bridge, and finally, will close with a concise definition of a bridge.
For a much more detailed treatment of the material in these essays WildPackets recommends Radia Perlman's book "Interconnections - Bridges and Routers," which is available from Addison-Wesley, ISBN number 0-201-56332-0.
Why Use Bridges?
As anyone with networking experience knows, segmenting a large network with an interconnect device has numerous benefits. Among these are reduced collisions (in an Ethernet network), contained bandwidth utilization, and the ability to filter out unwanted packets. However, if the addition of the interconnect device required extensive reconfiguration of stations, the benefits of the device would swiftly be outweighed by the administrative overhead required to keep the network running. Bridges were created to allow network administrators to segment their networks transparently. What this means is that individual stations need not know whether there is a bridge separating them or not. It is up to the bridge to make sure that packets get properly forwarded to their destinations. This is the fundamental principle underlying all of the bridging behaviors we will discuss.
It should be noted that IBM invented a second type of non-transparent bridge, called a source-routing bridge. These are emphatically not the types of bridges we're discussing here.
- Transparent Bridges: A bridge is said to be "transparent" because a transmitting station addresses frames directly to the DLC address of the destination station. This section discusses this concept of "transparency".
- Learning Bridges: This section describes the technology used in Learning Bridges. The alternative to a Learning Bridge is a Source Route Bridge.
- Spanning Tree Algorithm: A set of rules for determining bridge paths, called the 'Spanning Tree' algorithm, is used to prevent bridge loops in networks. This section discusses the implementation of the Spanning Tree Algorithm.
- Bridge Loops: If a bridge loop occurs in a network the results are often unpredictable but often catastrophic. This section overviews the issues related to bridge loops.

the interview show: East India Youth
East India Youth is an electronic act the UK. The EIY debut album, Total Strife Forever was nominated for the prestigious 2014 Mercury Music Prize Album of the Year award.
I woke up William Doyle aka East India Youth from a nap before I led him out to the alley behind Vancouver's Fox Theatre. Although groggy, the always stylish William was ready to chat about his latest record, Culture of Volume.
We talk about being mentored by Brian Eno, why it takes William sometimes a year to write new material and what embarrassing object I would find on his work station. Listen!
This track on the record was inspired by Pet Shop Boys: East India Youth Culture of Volume (2015) "Beaming White" (My favorite track on the new record.)

NGO reaction to Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project
I blogged about the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project last week and suggested that wildlife NGOs should probably get behind it – unless they have spotted something that I have not. It looks like it should produce a decent amount of renewable energy and not do much harm top wildlife. It seems that the NGOs agree with me:
WWT's Conservation Director, Dr Debbie Pain, says:
WWT has long considered that the opportunities presented by the nation's tidal resources should be explored as one of a suite of other options for low carbon energy production. We also think that priority should be given to projects that can be delivered without significantly and irreversibly damaging the natural environment. This is why we were against a Severn Barrage, and also why several weeks ago we wrote a broadly supportive letter about the Swansea Bay lagoon planning application. If this lagoon goes ahead, it will tell us a great deal not only about how this technology can be used to produce low carbon energy, but also about how to manage and reduce the environmental impacts of tidal lagoons.
While no two schemes will have the same impacts, it will be essential to learn as much as possible from what would be the first tidal lagoon to help improve the design of any future projects. Of course, our support for this proof of concept scheme does not necessarily imply support for lagoons at other locations – each will need to be judged on its merits.'
and the RSPB's Sean Christian said:
"The Severn Estuary is an inviting source of renewable energy. We believe well planned and monitored projects are the best and most sustainable way of harnessing this potential. Encouragingly, the proposed Swansea Bay tidal lagoon could fit this model.
We welcome the constructive pre-application dialogue on wildlife matters and will continue to work with the applicant to resolve any outstanding issues throughout the pre-examination stage.
Given the novelty of this type of project, the continuing uncertainties over environmental impacts, and the appetite for roll-out of similar projects in the future, it is essential that a comprehensive and robust monitoring package is put in place to inform future development proposals and impact assessment."
That sounds quite positive to me.

Well done Mark, it's important to be in this kind of place. There was a danger at one point of the RSPB being "in favour of all wind turbine projects except this one" (just about avoided) and so it's great if you can influence the NGOs away from seeming to be against all developments of this sort.Likes(2)Dislikes(0)
This seems to be one of the most promising developments in recent years. We should give an unequivocal "Yes" to Swansea Bay and look forward hopefully to similar and bigger projects in other locations, based on what we can learn from this "pilot plant".Likes(0)Dislikes(0)
Very sadly Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay has attempted to keep the related Dean Quarry activities hidden. Although, by their own admission, there are other options available to provide the stone required for the construction of the Tidal Bay Lagoon, they are choosing to reopen Dean Quarry on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall (on a much greater scale than previously) and to build a 600m breakwater straight through the Marine Conservation Zone, with devastating effects on the marine wildlife. While I fully support efforts to produce renewable energy, I do not believe this should be done at the cost of our marine wildlife and would urge Tidal Lagoon to give more consideration to getting the stone from one of the three in Europe that would be capable of providing it, all of which are already up and running and have been for years. This would save an AONB, SSSI and a MCZ.Likes(1)Dislikes(0)

Podcast: This month's podcast is for subscribers and purchasers only.
From this month's issue:
The supertrend in which Uber is already taking part is the transition of vehicle use from one that concentrates on distance, to power. In the post-automobile growth era, the culture has become re-acquaninted with the fact that the highest and best use for vehicles is the short-distance hauling operation, in which concentrated energy (oil) is employed to ferry improbably large loads that would otherwise take many human hours of labor. In order to control uniformity of the ride-service to users, and to reduce exposure to upward volatility in oil prices, it seems inevitable that Uber is going to continue to concentrate on the short-distance market, and will eventually have to invest in capital equipment: namely, electric vehicles. Whether Uber builds a fleet of EVs (electric vehicles), or helps drivers purchase their own, is an open question. The important point here is that global transportation will become increasingly bifurcated between long and short-distance travel. Governments, as previously discussed, will increasingly take over the responsibility to provide interstate high speed rail, commuter rail, and light-rail. That leaves a fairly large and enduring market around the great urban sprawls: not only in the OECD, but in the Non-OECD. Given that the spread between a gallon of gasoline and an eGallon (see graphic below, from doe.gov) will continue to widen, it's inevitable that Uber will have to eventually embrace EVs. The prospect that Uber will eventually own a lot of depreciating capital equipment may take the shine off its current business-model and attractiveness of its prospects as a growth company, but there would seem few ways Uber can control costs during the next repricing of oil—which is also likely to not be accompanied by an advance in wages. The good news is that the prospects for significantly higher electricity prices, at least in the US, are low. While Terrajoule.us remains firm that global oil supply has permanently entered a constrained era, the growth of inputs to global electricity has no constraint—just yet. North America has enormous reserves of natural gas; coal reserves globally are gargantuan; and best of all the growth of renewables will continue at its astonishing pace.
Also in this month's issue:
The model portfolio as of 31 August 2014 is up +11.92% since inception, having recovered nicely since the market declines of summer. This month will see the cash level taken down to zero, as we head into Autumn fully invested. Using the last bit of cash left in the model portfolio, we are going to become heavily weighted this month in oil…

What's up guys? 😀
Today I will tell you about Siem Reap, and with that Location Report, I'm up in two countries here at Goodbye Boring Life. World domination is right around the corner. 😀
As you probably know. Siam Reap is where you will find famous ruins of Angkor Wat.
I don't care how many temples you have seen in Asia. Angkor Wat is just something you have to experience and see before you die. Pictures of this place doesn't give it justice!
The next 6 days I spent on drinking, exploring and checking out what this town had to offer for a guy that want to say goodbye to his boring life.
This trip was my first trip ever to Cambodia. I have to be honest, it was very different from what I expected it to be.
I expected it to be much more like Thailand, but I felt that I was in some African country next to Congo, and not on the doorstep to Thailand.
People here seemed much more poorer, there was red-ish dust and gravel everywhere on the roads just like in Kenya, the hospitals looked like something out of a horror movie, people where missing body parts all over the place and people sprayed exhaust in the streets to kill the mosquitoes.
When that is said. The local people here that I met was very friendly. The tuktuk driver we had when we were visiting Angkor Wat was the greatest guy I ever met.
Another thing that struck me was how much more slow-life Cambodia was compared to Thailand, especially Bangkok. I had not been out of Bangkok for almost 4 weeks when I visited Siem Reap. It was nice because everything was so green and the air was a million times fresher.
Traffic was chill as fuck and everyone was driving super slow. Not like in Thailand where everyone is driving like they have a Godzilla on meth hunting them.
Available girls (2/5)
Normal girls (non hookers)
I met a really cute girl at the hotel I stayed at. Unfortunately I could not hit on her because I had a Thai girl with me already.
If you like dark-skinned girls Cambodia would be paradise for you. Most people here are very dark-skinned compared to Thailand. I also think that the Khmer girls were slightly more chubby than Thai girls. They have rounder face, bigger lips, bigger tits etc.
One thing that was very positive with the Khmer girls was that they spoke very good English. I think that is so strange. You have Thailand that is fairly developed with a big tourist industry, but at the same time they suck in English on average.
Go to Cambodia and 5-year-old street kids talk English like they have bachelor degree in the language. I met 5-year-old kids here that spoke better English than doctors in Thailand. I don't get it.
The monger scene in Siem Reap was quite sad. If you come to Siem Reap from Pattaya, Phuket or Bangkok you are going to have nasty surprise.
There are some freelancers in the area around pub street, but its really bad. The hookers are not hot at all, and I would never put my dick in most of them. They did not seem to enjoy their work or trying to make you happy at all.
I met one girl who was decent looking, and I ended up bringing her back to my hotel. This was my last night in Siem Reap and I could not leave the country without trying a local girl.. 😀 Need to plant my flag everywhere I go you know.. 😛
She was a little chubby but I gave her a good session. At the end she finished me off with a decent blowjob. I ended up cumming all over her face. 😛 Poor little thing.
Party situation (3/5)
I would say that the party situation here was decent. It's not the high energy that you will find in Phuket, Pattaya or any other major tourist destination in Thailand. But I had fun.
Bub street had a lot of interesting and funny bar concepts. The street had a good but slow life vibe, and it had people from all over the world here. Backpackers, expats, mongers, couples mixed with street food and freelancers. Everyone having a good time.
One bar that I noticed was "Angkor What?". Really interesting bar with an awesome design and vibe. I actually met an American girl here in her 20's that WORKED there as a bartender. I did not expect that!
She said that she had just come here on vacation, and she liked it so much here that she never went home again. She never told me how she got the job, or how she got the visa that allows here to work in Cambodia. Maybe she was full of bullshit, I have no idea.
From what I've heard it's much easier to get visa's in Cambodia than in Thailand. It's possible to buy a one year business visa here. You don't need a business. You just buy it online, and you can stay for a year! That is awesome!
Stuff to do (2/5)
Okay. Time to talk about why everyone goes to Siem Reap.
Angkor Wat
This temple was amazing. Even if you have seen enough temples for a lifetime this is still something I would recommend everyone to see. Angkor Wat is on the scale of the pyramids in Egypt. It's enormous. Not only are the temples impressing, but they also build a dam around this fucking thing. How the fuck did some village people 3000 years ago dig out all that dirt??
The second day I was in the Angkor I had been smoking a good amount of weed and I became really philosophical about all of it. How the fuck did they build it?
When you are walking inside the temples, you will come across spots that haven't been sabotaged by robbers, warriors and weather throughout the ages.
The stones are perfectly made. You could not get a needle between the stones and the details are almost creepy perfect. How did they do it..?
On the outside the temples look kind of simple, but as soon as you get inside, where wind and rain could not erode the stones, it's a different game. It fuck with your head and makes you think about human history.
Maybe there was another civilization long time ago that are not in our history books? Maybe it was aliens? Trust me, you will have those thoughts when you wander inside Angkor Wat.
I have a hard time believing this was made with copper tools and sheer manpower, which is the official theory the guides will tell you. It's to massive and perfect made.
Smoking weed
If you like to smoke weed Cambodia is probably your country in southeast-Asia. As I understood it smoking weed here is practically legal. I talked with a lot of tuktuk drivers about it. Some said it was no problem at all, some said you should be a little careful because some police officers could stop you and extort money from you.
According to Wikipedia marijuana is still illegal in Cambodia, but it is decriminalized. Meaning you should not have any trouble walking around with some pot on you.
Everyone was selling it quite openly, and you could ask any tuktuk driver or bartender. There was several restaurants in Siem Reap that sold 'happy pizza' with pot baked into it. 😀 People were smoking in bars, streets and in the temples. I could smell marijuana everywhere.
By the way, last time I ate marijuana (in Amsterdam) I ended up puking all night in the hotel while I was tripping balls for 8 hours. I kept it to smoking this time, no 'happy pizza' for me.. 😛
Noon Night Marked
Next to pub street was a big area with a night marked. This place sold everything from food to art.
I even saw a couple of foreigners here selling their art to tourists.
Kind of strange to see white people working in markets like this because I'm so used to Thailand were foreigner can't work jobs like that. If you sat up a street booth in Thailand at a marked you would be arrested within an hour. 😛
Other stuff to do
This is were Siem Reap is loosing me. There seems to be nothing to do here. It's fun to come here for some days to check out the temples and hanging out in pub street. But except from that it's not much to do here.
As soon as you go outside Siem Reap there is nothing there. Just endless fields of rice fields and farmers. Siem Reap is a small city and after staying here for some days you have really rounded the city.
Everything in Siem Reap seems to evolve around Angkor Wat. Without Angkor Wat Siem Reap would just be an unknown dot on the map.
I could never live here for that reason. I would become claustrophobic and get bored to death.
Cost of Living (3/5)
I would say that the prices in Siem Reap was about the same as Chiang Mai in Thailand. The difference is that everything is much more worn out in Siem Reap. The infrastructure sucks, some roads don't even have asphalt, sometimes the water stops working and the power cuts off. That's why this place gets a worse score then Chiang Mai. You get less for your money here.
Owning a motorbike here most be a living hell because it would shut down much faster from all the dust and gravel.
I stayed at a 5 star hotel when I was here. The hotel was awesome. Had big rooms, good bathroom, had steam shower, bath tub, swimming pools and a lot of tasty food.
I choose this hotel because I got it extremely cheap on Agoda. You can find the hotel here. The name is Angkor Paradise Hotel.
Food was good and cheap. Local food was about the same price as local food in Thailand. 1-2 dollars for a dish with some meat, rice and vegetables.
Safety (4/5)
I felt that this was a pretty safe city to stay in. One thing that I really noticed here was how calm the traffic was compared to Thailand. People drove super slow all over the place. Can't be much accidents on the roads here compared to some other countries in the region.
Motorbike tourist scam
First I wanted to rent motorbikes to use in Angkor What. Since I had no idea how renting motorbikes works in Cambodia I had to ask a tuktuk driver for a good place to rent.
The driver took us there for free, and guess what. He drove us right into an overpriced tourist scam.
The shop that rented the bikes wanted 1000 baht!!! per day. That is like 5 times more expensive than the average renting price in Thailand. The bikes also looked like complete shit and I would not trust driving it for a second.
Unfortunately I don't have a picture of that scam shop because my phone was out of battery. The shop looked professional and the people working there even had uniforms. Looked like a serious tourist shop that sold tours and also rented out bikes.
The shop had like blue signs all over the place, all the people who worked there had blue uniforms. So watch out for that shop! Probably the only shop in Siem Reap that had so much blue on it. Should be easy to spot. 😛
Anyways, we ended up not renting bikes at all, and we rented a tuktuk driver instead for the two days we were in Angkor Wat. He wanted 1300 baht for the job (both days), but we ended up giving him 2000 because he was awesome!
Getting sick in Siem Reap
Try to avoid it. I walked past some of the clinics in this city and it looked like something from a horror movie. If you get sick in this city I would try to get back to Bangkok as fast as possible.
Here is a picture of one of the best clinic I found:
So, what can I make out of Siem Reap???
I had an awesome time the 10 days I was here, but I think I could never live there or even stay long-term. The city is so confined up there north in Cambodia, there is nothing around the city, it's inland far away from any beaches and the city is quite small.
Still, I recommend everyone to visit the city for some days! Angkor Wat is really a must-see, even for people who don't give a damn about temples.

NEW Bolton FM radio station director and presenter Tina Gandhi has a passionate belief that the town is a vibrant hub of business and theatrical talent.
The 31-year-old host of the Thursday evening 6pm to 7pm Review Show is the latest appointment — and now the only woman on the board of seven who run the predominantly volunteer-led community station.
Qualified solicitor and Cambridge theology graduate Ms Gandhi believes her legal background and her ability to attract much-needed revenue into the station was the reason for her appointment to the board.
The former Little Lever High School pupil, who studied for A-levels at Bolton School, said: "I've been doing a lot of work with local businesses and I think they wanted fresh perspective and someone who was a doer.
"I am very passionate about the station. Working for Bolton FM, I feel I can make a real difference.
"I feel the way forward is for the station to work for the good of local businesses, charities and voluntary organisations.
"The time is right for us all to be involved together."
Ms Gandhi presents a show sponsored by the Mercure Last Drop Hotel, in her home village, Bromley Cross.
She said: "Bolton has the largest number of dramatic societies per head than any other town or city in the whole of Europe.
"The town is full of talent and I love telling the listeners about what is going on here.
"As a radio station we know how to engage the community — we are based in Bolton (at Bolton Market in Ashburner Street) and we are focused on Bolton."
Ms Gandhi has a longstanding background working for community radio stations, starting off as a teenager as a presenter at Asian Sound Radio, Manchester.
One of her proudest moments was interviewing English humanitarian and author Terry Waite — famous as a hostage in Lebanon between 1987 and 1991 — on her show Tina Gandhi Meets when he visited Bolton to promote an event.
In Ms Gandhi's other life, she works as a Principal Strategic Environmental Officer for Bolton Council but is currently on secondment to the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) and is managing the Greater Manchester Domestic Retrofit Team, responsible for a team of five officers.
She said: "I have specialised in helping people tackle fuel poverty.
"But I am currently programme manager for Greater Manchester's Green Deal and ECO framework."

Robert Sandlin Wins Penn Relays 5k with Monster Kick
It's University of Kentucky's Robert Sandlin with a monster kick to win the 5k! #PennRelays pic.twitter.com/R0AaFI7jmZ
-- FloTrack (@FloTrack) April 24, 2015
PHILADELPHIA and CHULA VISTA, Calif. -- Kentucky Track and Field's Robert Sandlin used a monster kick down the stretch to win the 5,000 meters at the 121st running of the University of Pennsylvania Relays Carnival on Thursday at Franklin Field.
Sandlin, a senior who transferred to UK in the fall to study physical therapy as a graduate student, has emerged as an elite runner nationally in the 1,500m this season, but Thursday's performance uncovered another level altogether.
With five laps to go Sandlin and Texas' Craig Lutz pulled away from the rest of the field. But at the bell lap, Lutz, a 2013 10k All-American and two-time cross country All-American, had a 10-meter lead.
But Sandlin showed off his newfound kick and won the race by a significant margin in a final time of 13:51.69. Lutz ran 13:57.67.
Sandlin's time currently ranks 12th nationally. Additionally it moved him into fourth place on the UK all-time 5k performers' list.
Kentucky -- competing at the Penn Relays in reduced numbers this season -- has now had an individual 5k Champion two years in a row at the Penn Relays, as Cally Macumber won the women's 5k with a similarly impressive kick a year ago.
Thursday was a day for season-best throws by Kentucky Wildcats competing at the Olympic Training Center's Elite Meet in Chula Vista, California.
Rebecca Famurewa reached the best discus mark since her freshman season, hitting 186 feet 9 inches 56.93 meters to place second. The mark ranks seventh in the nation this season.
Madison Jacobs threw her collegiate best in the discus, 184'2"/56.14mto finish third. That mark improved Jacobs season ranking to No. 9 nationally.
Bradley Szypka threw a season-best 63'0.75"/19.22m in the shot put to place second
Nothing like jumping in a puddle of water on a chilly 45 degree night! Men's steeple take the bell lap! #PennRelays pic.twitter.com/ZEq3gUU6aZ
-- FloTrack (@FloTrack) April 24, 2015
Thousands of miles away and in sub-40-degree weather, Mackay Wilson placed third in The Penn Relays steeplechase, running 9:03.70. Spencer Hrycay placed fifth in the (9:04.83), and James Brown was ninth (9:07.55).
Friday and Saturday Kentucky's throwers will ply their trades at the University of California-San Diego's Triton Invitational. The top throwers in the nation annually gather at the Triton Invitational in hopes of taking advantage of the strong Pacific winds that often blow on the UCSD campus.
The largest and most diverse group of Wildcats in terms of events will travel to Gainesville, Fla., for the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational on Friday. That meet will mark the second time UK has competed at Florida this season, having also taken part in the Florida Relays earlier this month.
The Tom Jones Memorial will begin at 11 a.m. ET.
Six athletes will run at the Bellarmine Classic in Louisville on Saturday.

A few weeks ago a forum member asked for suggestions on the coolest college cars under $17,000, new or used. It's a relatively large budget for a student, which opened the car door to many choices. Some commenters, however, felt it was too much cash for a college student to spend on a car, so we've chopped $7000 from the budget for a max price of $10,000.That said, there were fewer restrictions for this thread. The car didn't necessarily have to be cool, though it definitely didn't hurt. And at this price point, we understand that odometer readings will vary, with some cars at or approaching six digits. After reading through more than 70 comments, we've picked some of our 10 favorite suggestions below.The Volkswagen Golf popped up more than once, specifically a Mark IV and Mark V. Commenter bjtheskier once worked at a VW dealership "and saw plenty that only came in for routine maintenance and had over 200k. … [They] can be had with a great manual and they have plenty of room in the back to carry things while still being small enough to park easily on the street."Next up is the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, which astondriver picked for being "fast and not bad on gas." Its turbo-four propels the compact from 0-60 mph in under six seconds and it's possible to hit 30 mpg on the highway if you're gentle with the gas pedal.The first-gen Ford Fusion "is a very solid car" with "responsive handling and good steering," according to reffuots. Make sure to consider the SE trim, which can be had with a manual transmission.Lists like these wouldn't be complete with the reliable and fuel-efficient Civic. Holee-Driver speaks from experience and says his 2000 Civic EX coupe got him "through college and well beyond. It was very reliable and fun to drive… and it was very efficient."The Mazda6 is another midsize sedan that makes the list thanks to commenter MistyGreen who "loved the style of the first generation… while you're at it, find a wagon. Space for that futon from Walmart, the fridge, the contents of said fridge, or extra people!"Toycrusher started a debate when he picked the Ford Ranger compact truck for the list. Some defended his choice and others asked why not spend the money on a "real" truck with a V-8. Thoughts?It's possible to get a relatively reliable luxury car in this price range. In fact, squashed_vw_beetle is shopping for a car at this price range and is strongly considering a 2004 Acura TL.Commenter dafuture would spend $10,000 on a Subaru Forester XT, which is somewhat of a sleeper thanks to the turbocharged boxer-four hiding beneath its wagon body. It's also a good pick for students living in snowy climes thanks to its full-time all-wheel-drive system.The E46 BMW 330i was chosen by marshknute, who would have a hard time passing up the car's 225-hp inline-six, rear-wheel drive, and manual transmission.Showing no concern for gas money is Tyler No Swags Baugh, who would spend his $10,000 on a Mercury Marauder. "It is American Muscle at its finest… big V-8 power on a reliable Crown Vic platform. It is stealthy and fast and who cares about fuel economy looking that good."What would you suggest as a good college car under $10,000?

text: most people put the credit in Reach. It actually started on a small agricultural planet called Harvest. a type of locating device the Covenant use to locate objects of the Forerunners (objects they consider holy) marked a human ship as holding these valuables. they then scanned the planet and founds the planet sprawling with them. these objects were in fact humans therefore tying us with the forerunners. this infuriated three san'shyuum- the soon to be prophets- these three were afraid that, if the rest of the covenant were to find out the truth of the humans, their power would be uprooted. they therefore took over the title of the three current prophets and declared war on humans. maybe it helped and sorry it was so long.

Loss of torture data feared
Washington, April 3 (Reuters): Former Iraqi athletes trying to prove that Saddam Husseins son Uday had sports stars tortured and killed for losing said yesterday they feared the evidence had gone up in smoke in a US air strike on the headquarters of Iraqs National Olympic Committee.
Im not worried about the concrete or the furniture but I am worried about the evidence, said Issam Thamer al-Diwan, a former volleyball player and coach who alleges 52 athletes were murdered on the orders of Uday and others in the Hussein clan.
I want to show that to the world, to show how they used the logo of the International Olympic Committee to cover up their crimes, Diwan said by telephone from the San Diego area of California where he has lived since fleeing Iraq in 1991. Diwan said Uday, 39, had him thrown in jail for three months in September 1990 after he refused to go with other sports officials to Kuwait to loot sports equipment following the Iraqi invasion.
Human rights
Hanoi (Reuters): Communist Vietnam today denied US accusations that it violates human rights and tartly suggested America should not be making such allegations while it leads the war against Iraq. In its annual review of human rights around the world, the US state department said on Tuesday the southeast Asian country continued to have a poor record. It practiced arbitrary detention, sometimes beat suspects and was reported to be responsible for the disappearances of numerous persons, the report said.
German advice
Berlin (Reuters): German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said today Iraqs territorial integrity must remain intact after the war, and that its oil and natural resources must remain under the control of the Iraqi people. Schroeder also said the UN must play the central role in shaping post-war Iraq. He said he remained opposed to the US-led war, but hoped it would be over quickly and that the Iraqi people would be able to live in freedom from dictatorship.
Food packet
United Nations (Reuters): The UN childrens fund Unicef expressed concern yesterday that Iraqi children might mistake yellow food packets being handed out by US-led forces with small bombs with identical coloring. A Unicef statement said food packets known as humanitarian daily rations that were being handed out by the US and British forces in Iraq were wrapped in bright yellow plastic. Unicef called on the military to urgently change the colour of the food packets.
Embassy open
Cape Town (Reuters): South Africa said yesterday it had rejected a US request to shut down the Iraqi embassy and deport senior officials, saying it would be guided only by the UN on the issue. Last month, the US said it was expelling Iraqi diplomats and had asked other nations to close down Iraqi embassies. The South African spokesman said Washington had made the request to around 60 countries, most of whom had refused. He said the UN still considered Iraq to be a legitimate country.

Saving Grace
Japanese role-playing games have something of a poor reputation amongst mainstream western gamers. Too slow, too linear, too repetitive. People who think this probably havent played a Tales game though. Known primarily for its dynamic combat system, Tales is also marked by engrossing characters and epic fantasy plots and this latest entrant in the long-running series is one of the best.
Focused on the lives of Asbel Lhant, his brother Hubert delivered to another family for political reasons and a strange amnesiac girl found in a field of flowers, the story that unfolds spans from their childhood to becoming mature adults themselves. Its a story of fathers and sons, timeless friendships, fractured nations and the odd demonic force. Thematically, perhaps not so different to your average J-RPG outing, but the delicate way Graces portrays its cast and their emotions makes for a compulsive narrative.
What makes Graces truly shine though is how it constantly reveals new gameplay elements throughout. Unlike, say, Final Fantasy XIIIs 20-hour tutorial, here its a steady stream of post-battle hints and tips, explaining and expanding upon the games many nuances. Item creation, levelling up techniques and even world exploration have multiple layers, and while Graces is accessible without delving too deeply into any of the systems, youll soon feel confident in doing so thanks to the info.
How about that aforementioned dynamic combat though? Tales steps away from the traditional turn-based system, instead giving you direct control of your lead character while setting guidelines for the rest of the party. Each characters talents or focus can be pre-set or changed on the fly, and with hundreds of potential skills to learn, theres phenomenal tactical potential available. Its also fantastic that enemies are onscreen and can be avoided before battle, rather than subjecting players to endless random encounters.
With gorgeous character designs and stunning cut-scenes animated by Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell), Tales goes a long way to redeeming the J-RPG in western eyes. Utterly brilliant.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for A Schmahl Science Workshop, San Jose, CA, USA
As a principal in Berryessa School District, I have had the pleasure of working with Belinda Schmahl for many years. She and her assistants have provided hands on science workshops at two of the schools where I served as principal. Students love the experience! Not only do they learn a great deal from the workshops, but they become excited about science. They want to learn more and teachers give them the opportunity to read and write about the science subject. One particular lesson that I've observed had students dissecting owl pellets. They learned a great deal about owls, the food chain, and the remains of the creatures they found in the owl pellet. It was a joy to watch them learning by discovery. Teachers in my schools don't always have the time, knowledge or materials to create the lessons that the Schmahl Science Workshops present and they love that we have had these scheduled for their students. I would highly recommend them to any elementary school. Jeanne S. Izant

I lost phone service 4 days ago because ATT decided to vandalize my property — my iPhone — and, despite earlier assurances, it looks like the White House has no intention of doing anything about the policies that let the company get away with it.
This is a story of a personal problem, but I'm sharing it because it could befall any one of you, and because it illustrates a deep flaw in the law: one that permits phone carriers to control devices they don't even own.
Allow me to explain: last week, I signed up for a T-Mobile promotion that promised cheaper rates for my iPhone 4, which I own free and clear. On Friday, I inserted a new SIM card to join the new network and this is what I've seen ever since:

Erythrocyte binding activity of Plasmodium vivax tryptophan rich antigens is inhibited by patients' antibodies

Erythrocyte binding activity of Plasmodium vivax tryptophan rich antigens is inhibited by patients' antibodies POSTER PRESENTATION Open Access Erythrocyte binding activity of Plasmodium vivax tryptophan rich antigens is inhibited by patients' antibodies Rupesh K Tyagi*, Yagya D Sharma From Challenges in malaria research Basel, Switzerland. 10-12 October 2012 Background Plasmodium vivax uses duffy antigen to invade the human erythrocytes but reports of duffy negative infection by P. vivax indicate that this parasite may also be using some other alternative receptors for the invasion [1]. Studies are therefore required to identify these additional parasite molecules which are involved in host-parasite interaction. Plasmodium vivax, contains a family of tryptophan rich antigens containing positionally conserved tryptophan residues. These antigens can induced significant cellular and humoral responses in human individuals [2,3] and few showed interaction with erythrocytes. Materials and methods Recombinant Plasmodium vivax tryptophan-rich antigens were purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Hepari- nized blood was collected from healthy lab individuals to obtain human erythrocytes for binding assays, and from the microscopically confirmed P.vivax infected individuals for patients' sera. Rabbit antibodies against PvTRAgs used here were raised in the lab. Erythrocyte binding assays were performed by cell ELISA and Flow cytometry [2,4]. Results PvTRAgs binds to the human erythrocytes in a concentra- tion dependent manner and not to the human lympho- cytes. The binding was specific as competition with untagged proteins inhibits the erythrocyte binding to 50% at equimolar concentration. Antibodies raised against rab- bits and produced by infected patients inhibit the binding of respective PvTRAg at different dilutions. PvTRAg38 and PvATRAg74 was sensitive to chymotrypsin only and not to the trypsin and neuraminidase while all other PvTRAgs were resistant to all these proteases.

Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley touts that one his highest accomplishments was the role he has played in bettering the Chicago Public School System. Those accomplishments include his personal choices for members of The Chicago Board Of Education, as well as his choices for CEO of the system. While that may be a high moment for Daley and his legacy, it is a low moment for those of us who know that he achieved to make personal appointments at the expense of the legacy and work of Chicago's first Black Mayor Harold Washington. There were many who worked with Washington for years to achieve the point that decisions made on school board appointments, contracting, and CEO were designed by Washington to be made with the direct input from those at the local level, and Daley didn't like it and dismantled Washington's legacy of direct grassroots inclusion in the educational decision making process for the management and operations of Chicago's Public Schools.
In addition to Harold Washington's legacy, it also dismantled the legacy of Eugene Sawyer as Chicago Mayor who succeeded Harold Washington AND saw through Harold's legislation and the empowerment of people, whose reform and legislation brought together the grassroots community, business, and corporate leaders after Mayor Washington appointed James Deanes as head of the then Parent Community Council and The Education Summits when former Education Secretary William Bennett angered Washington when Bennett publicly called Chicago Schools the worst in the country. There is certainly more to this story of how Harold legacy involved his answer to a School strike and over 1,200 people showing up at a public meeting demanding that Harold Washington get personally involved and do something to make education better.
As one of the local organizers of the grassroots educational and civil rights organization's local educational empowerment agenda led by the late Lu Palmer, Vernon Jarrett, Marion Stamps, George Riddick and others -- a movement that Harold Washington championed as a State Representative, State Senator, U.S. Congressman, and Mayor of Chicago, to finally get Chicago schools to be governed from the local level up and not top down was finally realized in Harold's administration and Harold Washington also said he envisioned local people in their own communities having the power and make, and live by their own polices. It started with the election of local school councils, sub district and Harold's new Chicago School Board Nominating Commission where I, along with people like James Deanes and others served and I became a Vice-Chair, where WE had the power make Mayor Daley choose candidates from the community for School Board members and we were able to establish "education-based professional" requirements for the position of "General Superintendent" For Chicago Public Schools, versus the non educators that Daley has chosen over the years.
All these long fought for accomplishments of Mayor Washington, Daley openly told us through his Mayoral appointment to The Commission and directly when nhe summoned us to City Hall, that he did NOT like being held accountable to grassroots input that Harold fought for, in favor of his own personal decision making, and followed through, so while this local empowerment achievement was one of Harold Washington's biggest accomplishments from a grassroots perspective -- notwithstanding the other accomplishments by Daley -- he followed through on - the local school and grassroots empowerment that Harold fought for and won -- WAS totally dismantled by Daley when he lobbied The Illinois State Legislature to eliminate The Chicago School Board Nominating Commission, along our former power by state law to force the Mayor to have to choose Chicago School Board members with local input and "Education-Based" qualifications to be a "General Superintendent" of Chicago Public Schools
and not a Chief Executive Officer.
As I told another reporter earlier that they should not view all criticism of Mayor Daley as personal, but political. People can respect Mayor Daley and all he has represented for his 21 years as Chicago's Mayor but for political pundits and mainstream media to keep interviewing and projecting only those people who are documenting the Daley legacy -- I have the right and the authority as veteran activist and journalist to point out the fact that what I have mentioned in this instance is how a high moment for Daley's legacy came at the expense of one of Harold Washington's. There are still some of us around that are committed to preserving the Harold Washington legacy as well.
One of the last grassroots meetings I attended with Mayor Washington, he said to stay focused on always educating people with the right information, and I thought that this was one of those times to step up and preserve Mayor Washington' legacy while we are commemorating Daley's. Boy, can we who were in those meeting with Harold remember him saying that his new School Reform legislation would last because he would be Mayor for the next 20 years? Congrats to Mayor Daley for his 21 years, but I cannot celebrate them all at the expense of The Harold Washington years.

Any idea on the LYCRA font? Thanks.
Possibly based on Basilea
There might be an almost
There might be an almost monoline font with Copperplate Gothic tiny serifs, with the top of A having a serif on the left, with the right-hand arm of the Y forming a continuous stroke with the tail, with the R having a high waist and a center bar that almost leaves a gap with the vertical, etc., but ....
First registration of a LYCRA wordmark in this style that I found was from the mid 1990s.
Agree that if you make enough
Agree that if you make enough changes to Basilea you could end up with this confusing logo.
The wordmark designers would have had access to the Image Club Graphics version, produced under the name Basilea, and the Opti version, produced under the name Susan. I compared the glyph outlines and find that they are quite different. Since there do not appear to have been any other digitizations from the era -- assuming that Sousanna by Novel Fonts is a knockoff of Susan -- it would seem that Susan is one of the few fonts that Opti produced independently rather than pirated from other fontmakers.
As for the later fonts, MarkusLow is inspired by Basilea but the R differs from the original alphabet as shown at http://typophile.com/node/64403. LHF Kellie Ann is odd -- the C is angular -- and is not sold on the Letterhead website.

Thanks for visiting the Cape Elizabeth Library and Learning Commons (LLC) site! Many of you are wondering what is happening in our school libraries, so we'd like to share some information with you.
First of all, our job titles have changed. While we are still Librarians – here to procure, protect and share high quality collections of books and media – the scope of our work is expanding. Our new title is Library and Instructional Technology Specialists, or LITS, to reflect our commitment to providing instruction to staff and students in the effective and meaningful use of technology in our educational experiences.
Who are we?
Amanda Kozaka at the Cape Elizabeth Middle School LLC
Jonathan Werner at both the Cape Elizabeth Middle School and High School LLCs
Carolyn Young at the Cape Elizabeth High School LLC
As we continue to transform how we work with all members of our learning community, we will be looking at ways to transform our libraries to include carefully designed learning spaces, or learning commons. The LLCs will still have books, and computers, offer classes and book groups, and provide the services you enjoy and rely on. But the move towards a learning commons model will allow us to provide so much more: spaces for classes, small group work, quiet reading, creating and editing audio and visual presentations, accessing online materials, and lounging in an inviting and comfortable environment.
We are exciting about the many positive changes happening in our libraries! We hope to see you soon.
