Bob Botts : Banning's greatest liability
Bob Botts : Banning's greatest liability . – an editorial by Lyndon Taylor
6/18/10 – I read with amazement a recent article in the Record Gazette announcing that Bob Botts is running for re-election to the Banning City Council, and collecting money to further his cause.
This is the same Bob Botts who championed the Liberty Energy Project and threatened the health and safety of every citizen of the greater Banning area.
This is the same Bob Botts who only turned away from Liberty Energy after the citizens of this community challenged the City Council by circulating a petition with over 4,300 signatures which then made it impossible for Botts to pursue the project.
This is the same Bob Botts who most recently led the City Council in ignoring the recommendations of the Grand Jury to stop funneling taxpayer money to the Banning Cultural Alliance. (view Grand Jury report)
This is the same Bob Botts who ignored the recommendation of the Grand Jury to demand that the Cultural Alliance pay back to the City $ 162,000 (plus interest) for work the Alliance never accomplished, while at the same time threatening to close the Senior Center, the swimming pool, and other civic facilities.
This is the same Bob Botts, who, with colleagues on the Community Redevelopment Agency, purchased property using taxpayer money with no appraisal prior to purchase.
This is the same Bob Botts who has ignored the needs of the eastern portion of Banning while lavishing money on the downtown area in highly questionable projects.
This is the same Bob Botts who misused (i.e. stole) bond funds earmarked for the Sun Lakes reclaimed water project and spent them on a $ 14 M police station in violation of the California Constitution ( Prop. 218),(view Banning Informer article of 3/20/10).
This is the same Bob Botts, who, as Mayor, had oversight of the City's general fund that was found by the auditors to have significant deficiencies and misstatements.
This is the same Bob Botts who has – so far – ignored the considerable needs of the City of Banning for a reopened Animal Shelter.
This is the same Bob Botts who publically chastises members of the public who do not happen to agree with him by arrogantly suggesting they " leave the room" ,(view recent Banning Informer article of 6/10/10).
This is also the same Bob Botts who has so little regard for the financial condition of Banning that he orders a $65 steak dinner and charges it to the City while favoring the layoffs of City Staff and maybe even police officers ( listen to "PASS POLITICS" radio show of 2/10/10 and view Banning Informer article of 2/1/10)
This is the same Bob Botts who was reported to have held secret closed-door meetings with the Cultural Alliance with some of his fellow City Council members ( a fact which he vehemently denies) , with the public not invited, without a report of what happened at the meeting, or why they were being held (view Banning Informer article of 4/1/10 ) .
All things considered, does it take courage or just sheer arrogance for Bob Botts to even consider re-election?
In view of all of this, does anyone – other than the Banning Cultural Alliance – still believe that Bob Botts constitutes an asset to our community ? I believe there can be no doubt that Bob Botts is Banning's greatest liability.

I took my boyfriend to Hunan L'Rose in Odenton for his birthday dinner last night. Everything was so good! I got the pan fried combo noodles and my boyfriend got General Tso's and Beef Fried Rice. I liked that that had hot tea waiting for you on the table before you sat down and that they gave you the hot towel and a little palate cleanser of sherbert with your fortune cookie for dessert. I thought that place was priced surprisingly! Our total only came to like $38. I was expecting it to be more. We'll definitely be going back there as we're always looking for good chinese food and friendly service.
The lady next to me got the chicken and asparagus which looked really good. I was surprised to see some lamb dishes on their menu. Most chinese places don't have that.

Hey Matthew Bietz, Toni Ferro, and Charlotte Lee, 2004 called–it wants its terrible buzzwords back. No really, people have been vocal about their hate for 'synergy' for over a decade now–find a less grating way to describe cooperative interaction. Here's a brilliant suggestion: 'cooperative interaction'.
Now that that's out of the way, I'm just through with reading Sustaining the Development of Cyberinfrastructure: An Organization Adapting to Change by Bietz et al. (yes, at least they left it out of the title.) This was a 2012 study in how to create cyberinfrastructure sustainability through 'synergizing' (an unholy, Frankensteinian abomination of a made up word).
According to the authors, a 'cyberinfrastructure' (CI) is a virtual organization composed of people working with large-scale scientific computational and networking infrastructures. This seems to be an overly limiting definition of a CI, but a suitable one for the purposes of the paper. Within this definition, the authors consider how the people who work on and within CIs grapple with the issues of growing amounts of data, and sizes and complexities of computational problems. In particular, the authors are interested in the exploring the sustainability of CIs. They do so through a large case study of one particular CI, that at the Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis (CAMERA) out of UCSD. The authors spent an extended period of time over two observation periods separated by two years interviewing participants on the projects, working amongst the participants, and observing general trends in the microbial research community.
Overall, the sustainability of a CI boils down to how well relationships are managed, and how open to change the developers of CIs are to change. The authors present several observations from their work with CAMERA that demonstrate how innate constant change is to the environments in which CIs are situations, and how CIs are, fundamentally, an intricate set of relationships between people, organizations, and technologies. Over the course of the study's observation of the camera project, the authors observed a number of changes in the structure of the project. These changes, due to the multi-layered relationships comprising the CI, had far-reaching effects across many different pieces of the CI. The only successful way to navigate such changes is to understand their potential impact throughout the CI.
At the risk of sounding overly reductionistic, it seems to me that the overwhelming majority of what the authors present in this paper is basic common sense. Take any business, stir the pot, and watch how the business responds. I assume that most intelligent people would be able to surmise that any significant changes would have far reaching effects within the business, and that sensitivity to such changes and their effects on relationships would be important in determining how well the organization copes with such changes. Certainly, the situation becomes more complex given a more complex relationship structure, but the principal remains the same. Furthermore, this does not pair well with my general cynicism toward practice-based research. While the paper is well structured and written, I find it hard to identify any genuine contribution the paper makes beyond a decent articulation of what most people should already know.

The smiley face fad, but not the smiley face itself, was the work of Bernard and Murray Spain, two brothers in Philadelphia. In September of 1970, they thought of the smiley faces that had been around for years in the advertising business and so decided to use the smiley for a peace symbol with general appeal. Bernard drew a smiley face, Murray added the caption "Have a happy day," and soon they were producing buttons, posters, greeting cards, shirts, bumper stickers, earrings, bracelets, and key chains (among other things) by the thousands. The craze lasted about a year and half; the number of smiley buttons produced by 1972 was projected at 50 million.
But who created the original smiley face? Research has uncovered that the smiley that inspired the Spain brothers was created in December 1963 for the State Mutual insurance company by Harvey Ball, a graphic artist in Worcester, Massachusetts. State Mutual wanted a smile button for a morale boosting campaign. Harvey drew the smile, added two eyes, and then made it yellow to give it a sunshiny look. The buttons were a big hit and State Mutual began handing them out by the thousands. Mr. Ball's total take: his $45 art fee.

Original paper
Manganese contents in volcanic pyroxenes in island arcs: case study from the South Yatsugatake Volcanic area, Japan

Examination by electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) of the volcanic pyroxenes from the Japanese island arc reveals that there are high MnO contents (up to 0.71 wt%) in the pyroxenes from andesites and andesitic tuffs of South Yatsugatake Volcanic area (abbr. SYVA) in central Japan. This is found to be common to the pyroxene phenocrysts from the Japanese volcanic rocks, compared with the great majority of volcanic pyroxenes of worldwide occurrences. These pyroxenes in our compilation were divided into high-Ca and low-Ca types to discuss the substitution mechanism of Mn in pyroxene structure. Detailed examination into crystal chemistry of the Mn-bearing volcanic pyroxenes suggests that negative correlations exist between the Ca2+ and Mn2+ content in the high-Ca pyroxenes and between the Mn2+ and Mg 2+ contents in the low-Ca pyroxenes. End-member analysis of the former pyroxenes suggests the substitution of Mn2+ MgSi2 O6 (kanoite) for CaMgSi2 O6 (diopside) and that of the latter indicates the one of Ca 2+ MnSi2 O6 (Johannsenite) for CaMgSi2 O6 (diopside). The Mn enrichment characteristic of the pyroxene phenocrysts from Japanese quaternary volcanic rocks is very similar to that of the allanites in granitic rocks from the Japanese island arc (Hoshino et al. 2007, 2008). The Mn-rich pyroxene phenocrysts are an example of "island arc mineralogy", because the Mn enrichment in these two minerals may be derived from the assimilation of Mn-rich crust materials accreted from the subducting plate under the Japanese island arc.

Major manufacturers and retailers have spurned floppy disc drives in recent years, but Lindy says it has launched its 3.5in external USB drive to address a ready market.
"We know that customers are using 3.5in floppies, because we are still seeing a demand for them," said Stephen Fawcett, senior product manager at Lindy.
Fawcett said, "Apart from being an obvious solution for retrieving data from a legacy device that does not support any other method of data transfer, there are also many other situations where a floppy drive can be useful.
"Even those of us who prefer pen drives, have probably found ourselves presented with a floppy of 'important data' and wished we still had an easy way to access it," he said.
The external floppy is equipped with the standard 1.44Mbyte data capacity and is compatible with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista, Linux, and Mac OS 8.6 & above operating systems.
Many USB pen devices don't readily support Windows systems below Windows 2000, so the external floppy is particularly useful for those users. The device costs £29.99.

What can ya say about Marty? Arguably America's best living filmmaker, but I don't like making those distinctions. It's like calling something the best cuisine. There's just too many types of food to choose from. I will say he's one of the only directors from the 70's to make it out intact. Spielberg still makes money but…ahh, you know the rest.
Who's That Knocking At My Door – It's been forever since I've seen this, but it has historical significance in the Scorsese canon. Marty's school chums Thelma Schoonmaker & Michael Wadleigh helped out on this (and of course there was Harvey Keitel) I believe this started as a student film and then expanded with some nudity to sell it internationally. You can certainly see some of Marty's style in this early piece (music and camera moves).
Boxcar Bertha – Why is this on the list? It doesn't really look or feel like a Scorsese picture, but it's interesting nonetheless. He was working for Roger Corman and it was his first big break after being in Hollywood for a while working as an editor. There's a pretty steamy sex scene in it too. He certainly hasn't done anything that racy since (maybe in Kundun).
Mean Streets – This was his real calling card to the world. Harvey's back, and he brought Bobby DeNiro with him. You will see LA sub for some of the trash strewn streets of New York in some scenes (not much different from the trash strewn streets of LA today). I don't think before or since we've seen two tough guys discussing a loupe.
Italianamerican – This is a cute documentary about Marty's parents. If you can find it, check it out. It's always great to hear Catherine Scorsese talk.
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore – Hollywood came knocking on Marty's door (see what I did there? cute, huh?). Like M.A.S.H. I knew of the television show Alice first (the only footage from the film to make it into the TV show is the car driving down the road in the opening credits. Vic Tayback is also a holdover from the movie). This is a really good character study, with an Oscar winning performance by Ellen Burstyn (and Oscar nominated role by Diane Ladd). It took me a few viewing to get used to Kris Kristofferson, but I eventually warmed up to him. Harvey Keitel has a small part as an abusive cowboy. I think this was his first attempt at the accent he would use for Thelma & Louise. And whatever happened to good child actors like Alfred Lutter III? I don't mean him personally, but kids that could actually act like kids and not creepy, super smart kids like we have in American movies today (yes Dakota, I'm looking at you). American films have forgotten how to utilize children in movies. To find some naturalistic portrayals of kids in movies, you'll have to look to to Asia. And the next fucking screenwriter who has their kid character call their parents by their first names, should be kicked in the teeth. Goddamn hacks!
Trivia: Marcia Lucas (George's ex-wife) was the editor on this.
Taxi Driver – Is that Marty sitting outside the campaign office? I swear it is. What else can be said about this? All the pieces came together on this one. Little Jodie Foster follows Marty over from Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, and shows us the dark side of child prostitution. Keitel is back, donning a different kind of hat, and funnyman Albert Brooks dons an Isro. Oh, and DeNiro's in this too.
Trivia: Marcia Lucas was the supervising editor on this. Why doesn't she cut anymore? Oh right, cuz she's got all that Star Wars money.
Raging Bull – The best thing Marty did up that point. After the horrible experience of New York, New York, and ending up in the hospital, Marty got this project. His approach was to make this film as if he was never going to make another film again. I think it paid off. It still has the best edited fight scenes of all time (Thelma won her first Oscar), and the sound design was pretty good too. If I were to have a problem with anything, it would be Cathy Moriarty. I find her voice annoying. And even though she was young at the time, she still seemed 15 years older than her character.
This was beat at the Oscars by Ordinary People. How Ordinary People could win out over Raging Bull or The Elephant Man is beyond me. It has not aged well either. But it was Robert Redford's directorial debut, and Hollywood loved Redford (back before he was so preachy).
The King of Comedy – I think this is pretty funny. It's the funniest thing DeNiro has ever done (besides his awful accent in Cape Fear). It's also one of the only Jerry Lewis films I can see without wanting to throw something through the screen (I'm not a fan). Even Sandra Bernhard is amusing. I think most creative folk can relate to the scene of Rupert Pupkin practicing his show in the basement (and the banter between him and his ma (Catherine Scorsese) is hilarious too). This tanked at the box office though.
After Hours – Not my favorite. Apparently it helps to be a New Yorker in the 80's to really appreciate some of the details. It was an inexpensive indie, that did pretty well for itself. It was the first collaboration between him and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus. Plus it's got Cheech & Chong in it.
The Color of Money – Marty's biggest box office hit to that point. He was a hired gun on this one, and it is not a favorite among many Marty purists. Well, I liked it. Sure, some of Richard Price's dialogue is a little clunky, but I didn't mind Tom Cruise (playing to his strengths) and Paul Newman was pretty good in his Oscar winning (life achievement award) reprisal of Fast Eddie Felson. And I like pool. I'm not particularly good at it, but this movie made it fun.
The Last Temptation of Christ – This is a flawed film, but a miracle it ever got made. I'm not sure it would've been any better with Aidan Quinn as Hay-seuss. As a non-believer it certainly didn't affect me as much as others, and I don't quite understand the controversy. I mean, Christ comes out okay in the end (so to speak). The score by Peter Gabriel was pretty cool and probably made more money than the actual film. I saw this at the defunct Fine Arts Theater in Chicago when the film came out.
Goodfellas – This was great. All the pieces came together on this. Breaking the 4th wall in the courtroom scene near the end was such a surprise to see in a film like this. Sure, we've seen stuff like that in comedies for ages, but there was something so bold and fresh about seeing it in modern gangster drama. The first time I heard about this film was when I was watching some program about filmmakers on PBS and there was an interview with cinematographer Michael Ballhaus (they were showing a behind-the-scenes of the first time Henry saw a person get shot), and Ballhaus mentioned that he'd "never shot a movie like this before." It was definitely fresh in a year where Goodfellas was competing against Ghost, Awakenings, Godfather Part III and Dances With Wolves. Now full disclosure, when I first saw Dances With Wolves, I liked it. I haven't seen it in years, but I liked it. Those other three movies are absolute bullshit in getting nominations (especially Godfather III). Marty was probably robbed for best director.
A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies – This is a great documentary series that every cinephile should have. I had the original VHS (and I've got the book). I've seen it a few times, and I wish he would do a new set and discuss more modern fair. I know he didn't really want to get into his contemporaries, but still, I'm sure what he'd have to say would be enjoyable.
Casino – Goodfellas Part II for some. It took me several viewings to get over that. For me it now stands on it's own, and is very good. Yeah, Pesci still seems like he's playing Tommy, and Sharon Stone does nothing but shout the entire time, but this is still very good and only gets better. And again, Marty breaks the 4th wall with Joe Pesci's voice over when he's going to meet his maker. That was impressive stuff.
Kundun – This was Marty at his most artistic, and he had cinematographer Roger Deakins to help him. I remember seeing some behind the scenes where Marty was standing next to a horse and he made the comment that this was his "Western." Ever since then, I've wanted Marty to make a Western.
My Voyage to Italy – This is his documentary on Italian cinema. It's not as good as "Personal Journey," and movie scenes go on way too long. But it's still a good primer for folks who want to learn a little about a certain time during Italian cinema.
Gangs of New York – I didn't hate this like other folks did. I didn't mind Cameron Diaz (I learned later that Marty wanted Sarah Polley, but the studio suits wanted a big name). My biggest issue with Gangs of New York were the electric guitars in the big fight at the beginning. Gangs, however, introduced me to the music of the late great Othar Turner.
The Aviator – This was enjoyable, and I would've liked to have seen him win best director on this one (Cate was fine, but I'm not sure she shoulda won and Oscar).
The Departed – This was ok, but far from his best. This was a consolation Oscar (not that I would've voted for the other nominees). See the original Chinese film, Infernal Affairs. I hope he has a few more good ones in him.
Shutter Island – I thought the book was terrible. The plot was preposterous and completely unrealistic. If I had approached it more as a fantasy then maybe it would've been okay. But since Dennis Lehane's other works were more realistic, I approached it with the real world angle. The movie on the other hand is better than the book. I'll have to watch it a few more times, but I can say it's certainly not one of Marty's best.
I will also mention the films I don't care for:
New York, New York – Big misfire. I don't know what Marty was thinking (or if he was), but this is not good.
Cape Fear – Something about it always bothered me. Juliette Lewis was really good in her debut (what the heck happened to her?), but there's just something off about this one. It was nice to see Freddie Francis shooting. Great DP (Elephant Man, The Straight Story and others), and not a bad genre director. What was up with that friggin' accent Bobby D? You know how I feel about Yanks doing Southern accents.
The Age Of Innocence – It's great to look at, but it simply bored me. Maybe I'll give it another try someday since I didn't outright hate it.
Bringing Out The Dead – The only Scorsese film to make me angry. I did not like this one. It felt thrown together. It was like Marty got together with some folks and said "Hey, we've got a few weeks, let's shoot something." Everything about it was wrong. The soundtrack was bad ("What's the Frequency Kenneth?" Are you kidding me?), and even the editing was poor. I'm probably gonna get my car keyed for this, but I had to say it.

WWASP boasts a significantly high "satisfaction" rate, but what does that really mean? Most of us would assume that means that most teenagers found success within these programs and that after the child had completed the program, parents remained satisfied with the money they spent on the services WWASP provided. However upon further examining these claims, and noting who they used as sources and how long a child had been graduated before their "glowing testimonials" were given, it became clear that this satisfaction rate only reflected short term results from families who were still involved with the program, or had only been graduated for less than a year. Well, what about the long term satisfaction? What about after a period of time in which the influence of the program was removed, and the effects of brainwashing and mind control wore off? How many people today could honestly say that the program "saved their life"? Through my research and surveying former graduates, I would determine that number to be less than 5%. All of which would not deny the existence of abuses and human rights violations throughout their stay at a WWASP school, but rather that they had chosen to be grateful to have lived through such a tough experience, and learned some life lessons due to the circumstances. Often times the argument is made by program supporters that somehow "the ends" justifies "the means", and that because a teenager may have been in need of intervention or help, that the actions and crimes against these children would some how become justified. But even in the case where a child may have been in need of an intervention and because of being taken out of the environment was able to recover from a physical drug addiction or other unhealthy behavior that does not indicate that the program itself was in fact effective, but rather the circumstances led the child to choose a different path upon their own free will.
Although official research has not been done regarding the long term effects caused by these kinds of experiences, it is my belief that in many cases the effects of the "treatment" administered in these programs resulted in more psychological damage than the normal teenage issues it promised to cure. Gathering data from what I have experienced, the network of program survivors that I have surveyed and the research I have done, I have concluded that the program had many more negative effects than positive effects, especially to those kids who were admitted with pre-existing mental disorders or other conditions. Furthermore, considering the illegitimacy and unprofessional administration of the program's system, I also believe that the program designed and administered by WWASP was ineffective, and produced highly inconsistent results, if any, that were entirely dependant on the student's free will, pre-disposition and other unrelated factors. Many sources I have interviewed have corroborated my opinion that the program's influence was only notable when we were taken out of our environment, however when we returned to our normal lives, our actions and choices were not influenced by the program's regulations. Many former detainees have mentioned that after returning home from the program they actually partook in more illicit behavior than they had before the program and that the program had actually taught them more about drug use and criminal activity than they had previously been aware of.
So why is it that if a former student is successful at home after graduation the program can site credit for the child's behavior modification, however if a child were to have completed the program and then decided to partake in illicit behaviors, the program could not be held responsible for the effectiveness of their influence on this child's behavior? This to me sounds a bit like a double standard, or possibly WWASP has simply created a system in which they can pick and choose who the program worked for and who it didn't, either way, thousands of families wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars on an illegitimate service.
WWASP may claim that they were offering a needed service, however it is important to remember that these people had no qualifications and certainly no sense to know that the way they ran this program was unprofessional and significantly harmful to the families they claimed to be servicing. Without a doubt, I know in my heart what happened to me and hundreds of other kids in this facility and across the country in other WWASP schools was child abuse, maltreatment, basic human rights violations and in some specific areas, torture. These traumatic experiences in which WWASP calls treatment have proven to be not only ineffective, unreliable and inconsistent but also volatile, unethical and significantly detrimental to the teens and families that were exposed to such a perverse and fraudulent system. Therefore, beyond any excuse the program could give for its abusive and degrading actions, in my opinion and that of thousands of other survivors, "the ends" most certainly did not and absolutely will never justify "the means".

The Spirit of Christmas
There are accusations that this special holiday has been commercialised. Christmas may have lost it religiosity but not the spirit. People are becoming more conscious of helping those in need. It is no longer generosity for a single day followed by a selfish year. It is gift-giving and merry-making for a single day and back to the business of helping the less fortunate the rest of the year.
Get away to Los Angeles
Say 'Christmas', and a decorated tree with gifts piled at the bottom comes to mind. Soothing carols in Jim Reeves' velvet voice complete the picture. The old customs and traditions are changing along with technology. You are anchored to the demands of your job for the entire year. The holidays are for touching base with family and friends.

New NATO threat as WW2 weapons buried at sea set to poison world's oceans
CHEMICAL weapons dumped in European waters will poison the sea for centuries when it escapes, NATO has warned.
Some 50,000 tons of munitions are rusting under the Baltic Sea and threatening to unleash devastation.
NATO now says that just one sixth of that is enough to ruin the sea's habitat for a whole century.
And it's just one of the places around the globe where World War weapons were dumped at sea.
"These chemical weapons present a real threat to the Baltic Sea region"NATO
More were ditched off the coasts of several European countries and the US, according to Digital Journal.
NATO's Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme is now leading a multinational effort to monitor the threat.
On it's website, it describes its work as a multi-year research project, currently supported by eight of the Baltic States.
It says: "The spreading of only one sixth of the 50,000 tons of munitions can ruin the habitat in the Baltic Sea for an entire century.
Forgotten shipwrecks of the Atlantic
"Since incidental or deliberate breaches of munitions cannot be excluded, dumped chemical weapons present a real threat to the Baltic Sea region."
Dr Jacek Beldowski from Poland said the joint efforts of the various countries would limit the risk posed by the dumped weaponry.
He said: "Through this scientific cooperation, we will be able to control environmental and human security threats posed."

The actions undertaken by our partners in Zimbabwe (Nhimbe Trust, Pamberi Trust, AfriKera Arts Trust) is guided by their desire to raise standards of professionalism in the Performing Arts.
Zimbabwe has its National Arts Council and recently created a "standalone" Ministry of Sports, Arts and Culture, now separate from the Education portfolio.
However in this country where the economy is challenged and censorship is commonplace, Africalia's partners foster the advocacy role for the arts and stand up to allow cultural operators and performers to exercise their freedom of expression.

UPGRADE! (with picturey goodness)
Scientists have discovered that we're in a much more prominent spot in the Milky Way than was originally though. Astronomers have, until this point, thought that our Sun sat in a not so prominent arm of our spiral galaxy. With the new model, it was discovered that our arm (the Local Arm) is not really much different from our neighboring arms, the Perseus Arm and the Sagittarius Arm. So, yay?
Given that we're not even sure how many hundreds of billions (200 – 400) of stars there are in the Milky Way, it's very difficult to get a clear picture of what our galaxy actually looks like. We know what other galaxies look like because we can see them in their entirety. The Milky Way, not so much. It's like trying to get the shape of a forest by standing right in the middle of it.

Don't have time to write a review right now, but last week I saw basically three Giselles (two inside the auditorium, and one on the screen in the lobby 🙂 ). I saw Diana Vishneva and Marcelo Gomes (my favorites), Hee Seo and David Hallberg (it was Seo's debut as Giselle), and on the lobby screen, I saw Alina Cojocaru (guesting from the Royal) and, again, Hallberg. Anyway, I snapped this picture of the Afghan sheepdogs ABT uses in the first act, outside, during intermission, getting ready to leave with their trainer. So cute – and I thought they deserved attention: they do hard work in that ballet under those harsh lights, trying hard to stifle barks, walking, then sitting when told – behaving so well!
The Sheepdogs of GISELLE
9 Comments
They're actually Russian Wolfhounds. I chatted with the owner/wrangler after a rehearsal. They're from New Jersey & several pairs rotate.
The two pictured here are my dogs, Myrra and Gordislav ("Goguy") who actually live in Montoursville, PA.
🙂 They are now called Borzoi, essentially the Russian word for 'swift' (they can run 30+ miles per hour).
I'm pretty sure those are actually borzoi, which are a breed of hound (they were bred to hunt wolves among other things). You probably wouldn't want to try herding sheep with them!
They are definitely adorable though. And so fun to see in Giselle! 🙂
Are borzoi the same as Russian wolfhounds? A couple people on Twitter told me they were borzoi as well, which I looked up and, according to Wikipedia at least, they are a cross between a sheepdog and a greyhound. So I was half right 🙂
I LOVE these dogs! Borzois, or Russian Borzois are just that… sighthounds that originated from Russia. You're all correct. They're very aristocratic and gorgeous.. I went to a production of Giselle at Teatro dell'Opera Roma and was delighted when the dogs got fidgety and barked. The whole audience chuckled. Besides being a wonderful ballet, the inclusion of sighthounds is one of the reasons why Giselle is my favorite production… seriously. I also have a whippet (a less furry and smaller sized version of these dogs) so I'm biased.
These are my dogs, Myrra and Gordislav! 🙂 Yes, they are Borzoi; until 1936, the Borzoi was known as the Russian Wolfhound in America. It is thought that they were developed by crossing Arabian greyhounds (not the greyhounds known in the USA today) with a thick-coated, Russian breed, likely a herding type of dog, to provide them with coat to help them survive the harsh winters. The Borzoi was bred by the Russian aristocracy for hundreds of years and was developed to hunt wolves, fox and hare over the open plains of Russia, often in hunting parties of more than 100 dogs.
Yes, they are definitely borzoi and borzoi actually rarely bark…most anyway. It was a very long time ago that a russian herding dog was incorporated into the breed. No one knows what breed…it is like a long ago rumor. These are coursing and hunting dogs and very elegant and sweet. There are also two borzoi that appear in The Hunger Games…briefly. Pink Floyd had a borzoi sing with them on stage at one of their concerts. They are also often used in high end advertisements as they are very elegant.
Dont forget "The Dog Who Sang at the Opera"! (Pasha) I love the videos of Seamus singing! My guys sing along.
Thanks for the fascinating info, you guys! Debra, your dogs are beautiful. Oh, I miss seeing them at ABT…

From the very first steps in the design process 'Domine' was designed, tested and optimized for body text on the web.It shines at 14 and 16 px. And can even be used as small as 11, 12 or 13px.Harmless to the eyes when reading long texts.Domine is a perfect choice for newspapers or magazines websites, where text is the main focus.It's is friendly in appearance because it combines the classic elements of familiar typefaces that have been in use from more than 100 years like Clarendon, Century, Cheltenham and Clearface.- The rounded letters (b, c, d, e, o, p, q) are a bit squarish on the inside. This feature opens up the counters for better rendering and also make it look a bit more up-to-date than the classic typefaces previously referenced.- The serifs are a bit shorter than usual. Another feature that improves the rendering by allowing more air between each letter pair.- The joins of the stems to the branches in letters like h, m, n are deep enough to prevent dark spots, also improving legibility at small sizes.- The friendly lowercase 'a', with the curve starting from the bottom of the stem, is reminiscent of Cheltenham and Clearface. That soft curve is also echoed in the curves of the f, j, n, m and r.- The spacing is also optimized for body text on the web, clearly more open than that of typefaces made for print or for headlines.License

By Rachel Heller
When Alex, 3, is first seated on a horse, he's understandably stiff and nervous. Not only is he challenged with a neurological disorder, but his little body, barely beyond toddlerhood, is a tiny fraction of the steed's mass. Yet after just 10 minutes, his fists unclench and a calm smile spreads across his face. His body sways easily with the horse's rhythmic steps, and his instructors praise his poise and control.
Hippotherapy (horse therapy) is one of several programs offered by the nonprofit Ride On: Therapeutic Horsemanship. At two rustic ranches in Chatsworth and Newbury Park, Ride On instructors teach children and adults how to cope with physical and mental disabilities through the challenge of horseback riding.
The philosophy is simple: equine movement mimics the stride and gentle bounce of human walking movement. Thus, when sitting on a walking horse, a rider's pelvis moves up and down, forward and back, and side to side in the same type of motion as walking unassisted. Children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy or other physical impairments that force them to spend much of their time in a wheelchair are compelled to use neglected torso muscles if they want to stay upright and balanced atop the animal. In this way, hippotherapy aids their posture, coordination, muscle tone and motor function.
"As the horse moves, you move. That creates a response that conditions the body, over time, to improve various muscles," explained executive director Bryan McQueeney, who co-founded Ride On in 1994.
During hippotherapy sessions, a licensed physical, occupational or speech therapist walks beside the rider, offering instruction and guidance. Alex, who has a sensory integration disorder, learns to adjust his body when his horse, Linus, walks over a low wooden bridge or makes a turn. Sessions are highly supervised and children wear helmets and other safety gear.
The therapy kids get at Ride On doesn't have only physical benefits—it also tends to spark an emotional response. Most children are thrilled simply to be around animals, McQueeney observed. After a few minutes on horseback, their faces radiate "absolute joy."
The horse factor is a unique approach, but working outdoors with kids is a no-brainer. As occupational therapist Trudy Epstein, an instructor at Ride On for seven years, put it, "Kids don't occur naturally in a clinic—they occur in parks, in the sunshine, outside on the swings. Out here, therapy is more organic. You can reach kids in a way you sometimes can't in an office."
The only nationally accredited hippotherapy program in L.A. and Ventura counties, Ride On also serves children with autism spectrum disorders and older patients rehabilitating after a stroke, for instance, or managing arthritis. "Our job is to assist people in accomplishing all they want to accomplish," said McQueeney.

Guest Post: The Black-Eyed Kids
Harbingers of doom, black-eyed kids are demonic children or teens with intimidating, pitch-black eyes with no observable differentiation between the sclera, the iris, and the pupil. Many a terrified witness has reported seeing them in groups, playing games or singing kindergarten rhymes such as "He Jumped Into a Bramble Bush," in lonely, secluded areas. Sometimes they even show up at the houses of unsuspecting people, asking for assistance and pleading entry into the victim's house with deadly intentions of causing malice shall the innocent victim accede to their demands.

As mentioned in my previous post, I recently attended the Designs on eLearning conference, organized by the University of the Arts, London.
Over the two days I heard a dull introductory speech by Charles Saumarez Smith, an excellent keynote address by Gráinne Conole, and attended a series of parallel sessions where 17 presentations were made on various subjects including: blogging, podcasting, the use of 3D environments in design teaching, visual literacy, teaching rhetoric online, Second Life, and various always fascinating takes on e-learning practice. I met some very nice people and exchanged a lot of useful information with colleagues. One balmy summer evening we were all treated to a superb dinner at the Tate Modern, and whilst chatting amiably on a terrace high up on the river side of the building watched the sun go down over the city. Marvellous.
I came away from the conference with two over-riding impressions. Firstly, that teaching staff universally loathe the Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) they use. I didn't meet a single person who had one good word to say about either Blackboard or WebCT. Frankly, I'm not surprised: as pieces of software they're slow, clunky, lumpy, and plain butt ugly. The only VLE anyone seems even vaguely enthusiastic about is Moodle, which I can't comment on because I've never used it.
Secondly, a theme that emerged from the presentations was that students were using a wide range of services and devices as technological support for their learning: iPods, mobile phones, blogs, wikis, search engines, and other "peer approved" social networking sites. Communication was seen as being mixed mode, and, importantly, not necessarily routing through institutional channels. (For example, how many students use their university email account? That would be roughly, er, none.)
Now clearly these two observations are related! They suggest to me that the current generation of VLEs are not fit for purpose. They're totally outmoded; huge, lumbering, expensive dinosaurs. The softwares available on the open market—usually free—are vastly superior in terms of both their technical implementation and the underlying design principles: they're open, adaptive, ever-evolving, personal, social, creative, involving, and yes even fun.
They are truly software.
That's it. An excellent conference that provided much food for thought (if not necessarily any answers).
[Note: Looking at the Blackboard and Web CT websites it seems they've now merged into one company. Shudder….]

"New Lower Prices"….."Prices Locked In Until Next Thursday", "We're Dropping Prices Everywhere", "Consistently Low Prices"
Does all of this look and sound familiar. You don't have to shop very many stores before you see a new banner hanging over the aisle or a sign in the aisle, boasting about how suddenly, out of the blue, a retailer has found a magical way of lowering their prices. I maintain that so many traditional retailers are launching these new programs and promotions, that instead of invoking the excitement and trial intended, shoppers take a deep breath and keep moving down the aisle.
Too much of a good thing almost always dilutes the impact, and I think we are seeing just that. The consumer isn't buying much of this anymore (literally or figuratively). All the banners and new signs that retailers spend millions on each year are wasted if the program that the signs communicate is not founded in a sold, sustainable, believable platform of reality. Instead most traditional supermarket retailers cut prices only in desperation, a last dreaded resort. Reactive price cuts almost always produce little or no sales bump, but do manage to negatively impact profit margins.
The culprits preventing successfully modifying a retailer's pricing position are known to all of us, but primarily many retailers are just not designed to incur extended periods of lower margins rates. After a few months of viewing graphs and charts with arrows going in the wrong direction, the order is given to begin to raise prices, lots of prices on other items in hopes of recovering lost profit. As a consequence, the retailer's poor price position is worsened, not improved.
Modifying a retailer's position on price is a task that goes well beyond hanging signs and shelf tags, it must start with rethinking the entire operation. First the question should be asked. "Is price really our problem"? If you find you are perceptually 10-15% higher priced than the price leader in the market, the answer is likely, YES. If not, perhaps other issues need priority attention before embarking on a new pricing program. I recommend having a Price Monitor customer survey in place to track those important metrics.
The next question ought to be, "Can we profitably operate on one or two percent lower gross margin"? That's right. Real price cuts means selling for less, not moving the problem from one department or category to another and hope that the shopper doesn't notice. This means that EBITDA expectations should be adjusted down and for more than just a few months. Price cuts should be viewed just as much as an investment as a remodeled store is. They should be given time to payback.
Which leads to the final question, "What are the expected outcomes of the price cut investment"? I recommend having clear objectives mapped out for both short and longer term. Recovering lost market share, customer counts, increased basket size, improved dollars per square foot are all viable success metrics.
Changing long-standing customer perceptions takes time, financial investment, and consistency. If there isn't an appetite for all three, save the expense on all the signs, banners, and shelf tags…..they won't matter.

By Green Dog Pet Supply
At Green Dog, we have some rules about what food we do and don't carry. However, sometimes there are ingredients that we learn about along the way, and when we do more research, the time comes to evaluate whether we want to keep the products that contain it. We never want to take away a popular item, but we want every food we carry to promote the health of the animals that eat it, not to undermine it. Some stores might just drop a line of products that they don't care for, but it's always been our policy to try hard to present the case to the company that makes the product first, to see if they might be willing to consider our request to remove the ingredient in question.Dropping the line protects our customers, but convincing a company to change the ingredient helps to protect all pets that might be feeding it nationwide, and allows us to keep a food item in stock for our customers.
Carrageenan (a thickener made from red seaweed that is used in many canned pet foods and in some moist and chewy treats) is one of those ingredients. It's an ingredient that might or might not cause obvious problems for animals right away, but it could have negative effects over time, especially if the animal is eating it every meal of every day. It's also in a lot of human foods, so if you or someone you know has chronic GI problems, read on. Unfortunately, carrageenan is in several brands we carry, including in one of our most popular brands of canned cat foods. Cats are tricky sometimes, and they want what they want – we'd rather keep the brand for them if we can. When we ask companies that use this thickener about it, they always respond that the carrageenan that they use is "food grade" which is safe, as opposed to "degraded" carrageenan which is not. However, we had read other opinions about that, and some interesting research studies to back them up. So, at the end of May we wrote to the 3 companies that we carry that use it, and to one company that we don't carry yet, but were considering. Here's the general letter, which we adapted to each company. This particular company makes an organic line of pet food:
Hello – I'm writing today to ask about the use of carrageenan in your organic canned foods. Though I realize that the carrageenan used is "food grade" and not "degraded", there are quite a few people advocating for a closer look into whether food grade carrageenan is in fact causing similar worrisome health effects to degraded carrageenan and whether it should indeed be used in human and animal foods at all.

|"Love & Light", Petone, Wellington
"Both light and shadow are the dance of Love.
O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. (2:153)
"Patience does not mean to passively endure. It means to be farsighted enough to trust the end result of a process. What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. Impatience means to be shortsighted as to not be able to see the outcome. The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full." Forty Rules of Love: A Novel of Rumi, Elif Shafak, page 74
- With each and every year I learn there is a lot more to life and this world that I don't know. We would be doing ourselves a huge favour if we allow ourselves to be humble and learn from others, without undermining our strengths and potential, of course.
- We must not let fear take over. Believe in yourself. Believe in a Power that is greater than yours.
- If you have at least one person to love and one person who loves you, you are truly rich.
- Be adventurous and be open to changes, unexpected as they may be. Sometimes you have to dive into the unknown to discover treasures within yourself and the world you live in.
- There is always a lot more to a person than how they appear.
- Embrace past hurt, disappointments and failures. Don't be afraid of them. Don't deny them. But understand that everyone goes through them in some shape or form, even the strongest, smartest and best of people. Learn from them and do what you can to improve your life and yourself by all means but don't victimise yourself by adopting the victim mentality. In fact, the strongest, smartest and best of people only got to where they are because they learned from their mistakes and missteps, not because they continuously blame the world.
- Be grateful and express gratitude in ways that enrich your life and the life of others. Believe that things are good right now even though they can potentially be better.
- Trust your intuition.
- If you seek perfection you will never be happy. Seek contentment and the feeling of redha instead.
- This life that was given to you is a gift He has entrusted you with. This is your journey and no one understands your journey better than the One who created you. Find comfort and motivation in that.
- Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. It's one of the ways you can obtain it, God willing.
- If others cannot see the light and love within you it's because they're probably not meant to. Not everything is for everyone. Not everything is for you. Not everyone is for you.
- Notice how much you glow from within when you share your love, gifts, blessings and passion with others.
- Don't be afraid to outshine others when you need to and don't be afraid to take a step back and be in the shadows when you need to.
- Stay connected to nature. Swim in the sea. Listen intently to the birds as they chirp and sing melodiously. Eat vegetables and fruits from your own backyard. You will feel more balanced and tranquil when you consciously try to stay to the natural environment.

The word "salad" comes from the French salade of the same meaning, from the Latin salata (salty), from sal (salt). In English, the word first appears as "salad" or "sallet" in the 14th century. Salt is associated with salad because vegetables were seasoned with brine or salty oil-and-vinegar dressings during Roman times.[3] The terminology "salad days", meaning a "time of youthful inexperience" (on notion of "green"), is first recorded by Shakespeare in 1606, while the use of salad bar first appeared in American English in 1976.[3] The Romans and ancient Greeks ate mixed greens with dressing.[4][5] In his 1699 book, Acetaria: A Discourse on Sallets, John Evelyn attempted with little success to encourage his fellow Britons to eat fresh salad greens.[6] Mary, Queen of Scots, ate boiled celery root over greens covered with creamy mustard dressing, truffles, chervil, and slices of hard-boiled eggs.

I know a woman who regained half of the 150 lbs. she dropped. This can happen for two reasons: you keep eating a bunch of horrible food, but in small portions all day long instead of in a couple of giant binges, or you eat larger and larger portions until your stomach stretches back out. Think of it like those Japanese hot dog contest guys - you "train" yourself to hold more and more food, over time.
Also, after you exercise, drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body. Research shows that fatigue during exercise can be related to low levels of water and stored carbohydrates. Since we use carbohydrates as energy during exercise (including many forms of resistance training), we need to replenish these storage depots after a workout. This will assist weight trainers but is especially important for people who do a lot of aerobic exercise (more than 60 minutes) on consecutive days.

Twenty-five years ago, the space-shuttle Challenger exploded moments after launch, which resulted in the deaths of Michael J. Smith, Dick Scobee, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Christa McAuliffe most-famously, Gregory Jarvis, and Judith Resnik.
The photo above is Challenger making its way to the launch pad through a heavy fog. I was out sick from school that day, and vaguely remember it being the first time I had ever seen my mother cry. She was a college classmate and acquaintance of McAuliffe at Framingham State; her excitement and the anticipation of seeing someone she knew — another teacher — be launched into space and then whip-lashed to tragedy so quickly upset her. But I didn't understand this as a young child. I only processed something awful happened that day because it was easy to understand how sad my mother had become. [via gearfuse]
