Ordering Last minute flowers for my Mom from my Dad on Valentines day I received a call from Jennifer who mentioned that they are done for the craziest day of the year at 8:30pm...after verifying the address I provided them, she said she can swing by the address and make sure she receives them today...this was the 2nd attempt. the truth is I assumed she will call and apologies and redeliver the next morning, in less then 45 min Mom sends me picture of beautiful flowers which she said smelled amazing and looked so good that she thought there fake and to show off ;) I picked it MOM....I know :)) Jennifer you made her day,!!! she went to CT for 48hrs and between the 3 of us me being the middle guy between dad & you... we all managed to make her smile, and this is what you and your location did with no last minute super fast delivery charges.... thank you and My Father really thanks you, you are what customer service is all about. asked my mom to send a picture I can share and this is the best she was able to do :( they are really beautiful. again and again thank you Jennifer, I have your cell number but I will not bother you on your personal line.

Bought a phalaenopsis orchid all the way from Florida for a close friend of mine in New Haven yesterday. It was delivered today, and I saw the arrangement for myself via FaceTime, and it looked great. Really nice presentation, she loved the little pot it came in, and the flower is stunning. I'd definitely recommend this shop for anyone in the local area.

Week of April 25, 2011
Electrical Outage-Chemistry & Physics Building
Facilities Management has scheduled a building electrical outage for Sunday, May 8th from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 pm. This outage will allow us to make some electrical upgrades to the fire protection system in the building. The emergency generator in the building will remain operational to support on-going research. It's recommended that all computers be off during this outage to avoid the lost of information or equipment damage.
Planetarium Drive Closing
Facilities Management will be closing Planetarium Drive this Thursday and Friday April 28th and 29th. The street will re-open to traffic for the weekend and be closed again on Monday, May 2nd. During this street closing, the ADA parking spaces behind the Library will be re-located to F-10 with temporary signage. Motorcycle riders will need to use other spaces on campus during this period. We currently have 17 motorcycle spaces in lot 47 and 12 spaces at College and First Street on the north side of the UC. In the event of an emergency we will have plates on site to reopen the street for emergency vehicles.


text: As it stands this proposal would mean a real performance hit for multiple performance sensitive packages of mine or two reasons: 1.) Due to the fact that GHC can't optimize strict function composition http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7542 and that (Foo . f) expands to (\x -> f x) we use unsafeCoerce in many places to generate ideal core. In 3.7, this happened entirely on function arrows and so we could contain the noise entirely in the lens package. In order to generate the correct core when faced with the same issue in profunctors, we were forced to add an {-# LANGUAGE Unsafe #-} module Data.Profunctor.Unsafe to the profunctors package that let the user invoke an operator like the `lmap` and `rmap` of a profunctor, but which had strict semantics and which could be unsafeCoerce. Used correctly this allows us to maintain SafeHaskell guarantees and still generate the ideal core. This eta expansion isn't a trivial issue. From a constant perspective it means a practical speed difference of 50% in many lens combinators vs. just dealing with the eta expansion and bad semantics that result from just using (.) or in the profunctor case, rmap or lmap. But worse, accumulation of eta expansion wrappers can result in asymptotic slowdowns. This is witnessed by another ghc bug that we found during work on lens, where the derived Functor, Foldable and Traversable instances provided by GHC run in O(n^2) time: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7436 And the slowdown can be a factor of 10 even before these asymptotic factors kick in since to get the correct semantics you need the strict composition from the first ticket and GHC is terrible at optimizing it. I'm pretty strongly against losing that much performance. 2.) Profunctor as it exists provides an efficient dimap that lets you map over both sides. This doesn't matter for some 'single arrow' like Profunctors, but it does matter for the profunctors for Mealy and Moore machines, where now any dimap requires two passes. That said, I have not measured the slowdown on my machines package. Putting in a separate Profunctor class for the union of functionality between Prearrow and Postarrow (PostFunctor? as it has little to do with Arrow) is problematic for a couple of reasons. If we simply make it an alias for Prearrow + Postarrow: class (Prearrow p, Postarrow p) => Profunctor p then either a.) users have to specify an instance for a class with no laws (or which just contains dimap with a default definition in terms of lmap and rmap), which is troubling and inconvenient for users. b.) we have to use appropriately Flexible and Undecidable instance, which means it probably can't find its way into base and a part of the community will rebel against it on moral grounds, and we can't get an efficient dimap in that case regardless. One compromise would be to drop the Postarrow notion despite 'Profunctor' being 'too big', and just have: class Prefunctor p => Profunctor p with Profunctor p and Category p as superclasses to Arrow. This loses some of the minimalism of your proposal but can be implemented in a way that provides for the above concerns. But if moving Profunctor into the standard library means losing Data.Profunctor.Unsafe, then I still have an objection. Losing that module forces me to choose between the a number of bad scenarios: a 50% constant factor hit w/ bad semantics around _|_'s and asymptotic slowdowns a 10-fold speed hit and good semantics exposing a user visible unsafeCoerce requiring some otherwise completely unnecessary class to recover the existing semantics and dealing with user confusion I'm not a fan of any of these scenarios. -Edward Kmett On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 7:05 AM, Ross Paterson <ross at soi.city.ac.uk> wrote: > On Sun, Jul 15, 2012 at 06:22:01PM +0100, Ross Paterson wrote: > > I propose to refactor the Arrow class, so that GHC's arrow notation can > > be a bit more general.

Winter Wonderland ideas for fun in the snow!
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
Winter Wonderland
The winter season is in full swing, and we have already had our fair share of snowfall. It may be warmer and more comfortable to stay inside, but the snow is a great tool to improve sensory integration, strength, and fine and gross motor skills. So put your boots on, bundle up, and try some of these fun activities in the snow!
- Snowman: Pick up large piles of soft snow with both hands and roll them into small and large circles to make a snowman's body and head. Use pieces of food such as raisins and a carrot for the snowman's eyes and nose. Use eyedroppers (a fine motor skill) or a spray bottle (to develop upper body strength) and squeeze or spray drops of food coloring on the snowman to give him/her some hair. Plan your snowman in advance to encourage sequencing and organizational skills. Be creative and make snow animals too, such as dogs, squirrels, and rabbits. Line up three snowballs to make a worm or caterpillar.
- Snow Hop: Pretend to be an animal such as a bunny rabbit and jump with both feet together across the snow. Try jumping to a beat to help develop rhythm and coordination. Have relay races with other children.
- Snow Messages: To reinforce letter formation and strengthen balance, practice writing letters or numbers by dragging your feet through the snow. Write messages such as "Hi Mom" or "I Love Snow." Later on, you can go to a top floor in your house and look at your work!
- Snow Forts: To strengthen postural control and the upper body, fill up several big containers or buckets with snow. Then empty them upside down. Keep adding to the pile to build the wall to your fort. Build a few walls and, if there is enough snow, make some tunnels to travel from fort to fort.
- Snowflake catch: To improve visual tracking, look up to the sky and try to catch as many snowflakes as you can on a black piece of construction paper. See if you can make a cool design with them. You can also try to catch snowflakes on your tongue!
- Snow Angels: This is a great activity to develop body awareness. Lie on your back in the snow and move your arms and legs up and down to create a snow angel. Try making other snow imprints with your body, such as an airplane, and have others guess what you made.
- Snowball maker: The snowball maker is a great toy for making snowballs and improving bilateral coordination. Choose from a variety of colors at www.landofnod.com, keyword "Snowballer".

I love this one from Hugh:
I don't know why this cartoon tickles me so, I guess it's because I think that's the way a lot of we speakers think sometimes - that the speech is about the content. Yeah, million dollar sound bites and eloquent quotations make for a good response, but the content is not nearly as important as the connection.
I had the fortune/misfortune to see a very highly paid speaker (80K a pop) twice in one year. Same speech both times with just a few sentences of customization. Don't get me wrong, the speech was very well delivered and the content professionally written. Connection? Close to zilch.
I'm a writer - welcome to my words.
I'm a consultant - welcome to my process.
I'm a coach - welcome to my advice.
Hmmm - same thing here. The content gets you in the door but the connection is what really matters.
Let's create a course for speakers on connection (not to be confused with techniques to generate participation - participation and connection are different things). Let's teach wanna be consultants how to connect before they hang out their shingles and become process peddlers. Let's teach writers how to reach through the pages of their work to connect to their readers in an intimate way.
Anyone know of such a class? It would be a great one, no?

Value in the household: We compare... electric kettles
Your kettle is one of those household appliances you never really think about — until it breaks, just as you reach for your morning caffeine fix. Who knew there were so many shapes, sizes and makes out there?
Kenwood SKM 100 €44.99
THIS is one of the cheapest kettles on the market, but it's really not bad and for the price you won't do better. The white plastic might not look too fancy on your counter, but it does the job. It has a great limescale filter and it's easy to see how full it is through windows on both sides. On the downside it's not particularly quiet, or fast, and you have to boil at least two cups of water — half a litre — to use it. With energy and water bills rising, that means you waste electricity and vital minutes in the morning.
Argos Cookworks €14.99
THIS brushed steel kettle has a 1.6L capacity and lets you boil about a cup-and-a-half at a time. It boils quickly, so uses very little energy — and your precious time — and also has a good limescale filter. But it's not quiet. This is a dome-shaped appliance, so the handle is a little awkward and can get in the way when trying to take the lid off to fill (you can also fill it slowly through the spout). There is also a small chance that you'll get some steam on your hands when pouring or opening the lid of the kettle after it boils.
DeLonghi Scultura KBZ3001 €129.99
EVEN if I won the lottery, I'm not sure I could bring myself to pay this much for a kettle, unless it actually brought me coffee in bed. The Scultura's contemporary style almost resembles a piece of art and would look great in any kitchen. It is fast and boils one cup at a time, so it doesn't run up electricity bills (but is that a problem if you can afford this?). It also keeps limescale out of your drink and is quite quiet and comfortable to hold. The only negative is that the water gauge is under the handle.

Of the Keizertimes
Driving between Keizer and Salem is simple enough.
But what about canoeing or kayaking between the two?
At a recent meeting, members of the Keizer Parks and Recreation Advisory Board discussed putting in a canoe and bike locker at Keizer Rapids Park, thus allowing citizens to take the Willamette River to get between the two cities.
The Keizer City Council would still have to approve the plan before it could be submitted for a grant application, but Parks Board members expressed enthusiasm for the proposal.
"Around the bathroom, there's a little staging area where you can get a boat ready," said Richard Walsh, chair of the board. "You can take your canoe or kayak off. This would allow people to get to downtown Salem, get the canoe out of the water, lock it to the rack and get on your bike, which is right there. It lays out kind of nice."
Walsh noted he knows of two Eagle Scouts who would be willing do put in the canoe locker and also a bike rack right next to it.
As conceptualized at the meeting, the locker would hold four canoes. Jim Parent and others suggested either more capacity or building a second locker.
"Four canoes isn't much," Parent said. "If you have a kayak, it's even less. Kayaking has gotten pretty popular."
Fellow board member Rick Day said he would call the architect about changing the design to accommodate more canoes and kayaks.
Board members approved a motion asking the council to request a canoe locker for Keizer Rapids Park.
Walsh noted the desire to apply for money to construct the project.
"We want to apply for a grant," Walsh said.
A second motion, also approved unanimously, asked the council to allow an Eagle Scout to build the locker in the designated location, with volunteer labor and thus no cost to the city.
Both motions are expected to be brought before the council this month.
