About This Blog
A blog about my life, universe, etc. At any given time you might find something endlessly interesting or just me ruminating on something else, which no one (not even myself) finds interesting. That's the way blogs go, I suppose. Anyway, I was eleventh in line, and you weren't. Hah!

About My Family
My mom is a lawyer in Pickerington; my stepdad and dad are computer guys, and my stepmom (who works with my dad) is an engineer. My sisters are, in order of age, a photographer, an artist, and a person too young to have her own website. My brothers are, in order of age, living up north, and again, a person too young to have a website. At some point soon I'll be collecting links for my aunts, uncle, and cousins. ^_^

Scripture of the Moment
2 Nephi 2:27
Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.
Quote of the Moment
William Penn
Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders, than from the arguments of its opposers.

Comments of visitors are the responsibility of the invididuals posting. No responsibility is taken for the content of materials linked to from this site. Any questions relating to the administration of this site or its content should be directed to Sarah Marie Parker-Allen, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
BLAP Statement:
-- If I mention something that's been published and is still available on the Internet, I will link to it. Well, if I know it's there, anyway.
-- Once I've posted something, I will not make substantive changes to the body of the post. Any changes will be noted with an "EDIT" tag at the bottom of the post in question, or will be noted in a subsequent post. Typos, stylistic errors, and link updates will occur, without time limit (though if it's been a while, I'll let you know). If I really really regret a post, it's likely I'll post about cats or something for a while in pennance. You've been warned.
-- If I find something through the efforts of another blogger (in fact, of anyone I can link to), I'll credit them with a link (the style of such a link is pretty much up to my mood, so don't expect consistency in that area).
-- My comment policy is listed below.
Comment Policy
I like comments, and I'll keep them activated. HOWEVER, if you want to start a flamewar, go somewhere else. If you want to get me to start arguing with you about Ohio State vs. Michigan, whether Mormons are Christian, how stupid being spoiler free is, or pretty much anything else inflamatory (inflamatory is in the eye of me in this case -- if you don't trust my judgement, too bad), go somewhere else. All links to pornography, all instances of vulgar language, and anything else I don't think is appropriate for my sisters, brother, neice, and nephew to see (ages 1-18), or quite frankly appropriate for ME to see, will be edited as I see fit (probably with links to something else, or alternate words, or what have you). All spam comments, including blatant off-topic self-promotion, will be deleted. If you've been banned, feel free to email me; if you're uncivil, please know that I'm interested in finding out exactly how many people I can add to my killfile without bringing my processer speed to zero, and don't mind using your address in my experiments. I reserve the right to delete and/or ban anyone I want. If you need to say it that badly, go get your own blog. They're free, you know.
A Note About Chatting and Emails
I'm not what you would call an extremely social or extraverted person. As a matter of fact, I tend to test 100% introvert on Myer-Briggs and other personality profile tests. Therefore, please be aware that most of the time, if I don't already know you (either in person or through weeks/months/years of email contact) the chances are I won't be very talkative if you IM me. I like having a long time to consider what I say, and that goes double for what I say to total strangers. Please don't think me scary, rude, hateful, or even just someone in a perpetual bad mood, if chat efforts are unsuccessful. Quite frankly, it's probably better for you to go find someone else to chat with, unless you have something significant to say. And if it's that important, you should probably email me. Which reminds me to let you know now that if you do choose to email me, it might be days, weeks, months, years, or never before I email you back. It takes a lot of energy for me to come up with replies to random inquiries from strangers, and most of the time there's something I'd rather be doing instead. Your understanding is appreciated. I'm not saying don't try, I'm just saying -- have minimal expectations, okay? Thanks. Oh, and if you DO know me, don't treat this statement as an excellent excuse not to talk to me. You know who you are.

Hrm. If I use a "font" command and make the font a size 2, it doesn't look half bad. It looks awfully big and intense, though...

LESSONS FOR LIVING FROM SPIRIT is a compendium, most of it is in the form of a mini-encyclopedia of Spiritual and Philosophical Knowledge from the Spirit-Soul-Unobstructed Universe transmitted through a direct-voice channeling trance medium. The information within this book is a compilation of spiritual truth that can help you live a less stressful life by understanding and living the truths that are only touched upon by many other spiritual books. It can be a guide for you to becoming a more balanced person, to feel and know more of your self worth. You can become a larger part of the 'Whole' by bringing out more of your abilities and expanding your awareness. This method of spiritual expansion can be explained, tested, and learned successfully by you. Practitioners progress at a steady pace proportional to their understanding and effort. Come, look into the Spirit World as I have for over six decades and discover the truth.

Yesterday, Stanczyk wrote about some of the questions he was able to answer and also some of the interesting new pieces of information too. Today I wanted to list my finds:
- 1940Census_ED15_35_SHT9A_MrozekAlbert.jpg
- 1940Census_ED15_37_SHT6A_LeszczynskiMichael.jpg
- 1940Census_ED15_37_SHT8B_LeszczynskiTheophilus.jpg
- 1940Census_ED51_22_SHT10A_SolomonBenjamin.jpg
- 1940Census_ED64_208_SHT13A_LeszczynskiJohnBuffalo.jpg
- 1940Census_ED74_29_SHT8A_GronekFamily_PortHuron.jpg
- 1940Census_ED82_100_SHT19B_GawlikowskiCatherineWidow.jpg
- 1940Census_ED84_1246_SHT5A_Vespek_Family.jpg
- 1940Census_ED84_583_SHT7A_GawlikowskiAdamRose_page1.jpg
- 1940Census_ED84_583_SHT7B_GawlikowskiAdamRose_page2_also_SarotteFamily.jpg
- 1940Census_ED84_586_SHT3B_KedzierskiMI.jpg
- 1940Census_ED84_710_SHT5A_EliaszFamily_page1.jpg
- 1940Census_ED84_710_SHT5B_EliaszFamily_page2.jpg
- 1940Census_ED92_353_SHT16B_HajekFamily.jpg
- 1940Census_ED95_217_SHT17A_NadolnyRose.jpg
- 1940Census_ED95_217_SHT1B_SobieszczanskiFamily.jpg
- 1940Census_ED95_221_SHT3A_EliaszVincent.jpg
- 1940Census_ED95_221_SHT3B_MylekFamily.jpg
So I found: Eliasz, Gawlik, Gronek, Hajek, Kedzierski, Leszczynski, Mylek, Nadolny, Sobieszczanski, Solomon and Vespek.
The Locales involved so far are: Detroit, Toledo, Buffalo/Depew, Philadelphia, and Cleveland.
I have a folder on my computer titled, Source Documents. Within that folder, I have many sub folders for a wide variety of genealogical sources (Birth, Marriage, Death, etc.) and also a Census sub folder too. Some of those folders also have sub folders to organize like kinds of documents.
I have settled on a naming convention for these 1940 Census records that I wanted to point out:
1940Census, ED, District_SubDistrict, Sheet#, DescriptiveOf Person(s)
This naming standard is really meta-data about the picture of the document.
I use 'jpg' despite its flaws because it can be posted to the Internet. The file name is also a kind of source documentation. I can easily go back to the source from the file name and get a new copy. Also if you are a related genealogist, the above list can aid you to go get your own copy (from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Archives.com, or FamilySearch).
What are you doing? How are you doing? Any great surprises? Researching the Same People? Do tell — email me.

Defensive coordinator Jason Tarver is returning to the Raiders, the club confirmed Tuesday.
Tarver's two-year contract was set to expire Tuesday, but in news that was first reported by ESPN and the NFL Network, he signed again with the Raiders.
The Raiders confirmed they had retained assistant head coach and line coach Tony Sparano with a two-year deal on Saturday. According to the Raiders flagship station 95.7 The Game, special teams coach Bobby April will also return.
At his season-ending press conference, coach Dennis Allen said he didn't expect a lot of changes on staff, although there was speculation the Raiders could lose some assistants because owner Mark Davis was reportedly unwilling to extend deals past a single season.

Last night, just after 7:00, I got called that a patient needed to talk to me.
Dr. Grumpy: "This is Dr. Grumpy, returning a page."
Miss Tangent: "Hi! I was there earlier today, for my arm pain. I brought my sister to the appointment. Do you remember?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Yes. What can I do for you?"
Miss Tangent: "I need your help. My sister and I have been arguing since the appointment, and we need to know if that clock statue thing on your front desk is supposed to be a horse or a cow?"

This cupcake is pure fattening decadence. It has a ton of fat, sugar, calories, butter, etc..., but you know what? It's so totally worth it.
I thought how perfect a little flavor combination in a cupcake? But I was dying to add a frosting to it--a cheese frosting on there, but didn't want cream cheese because it's way too heavy for this type of cupcake, so I settled on something lighter like mascarpone cheese. And it worked, perfectly. You seriously must try these. They are easy as pecan pie to make. And try this frosting on some of your other creations: be it breads, carrot cakes, pancakes, pound cakes, cake cookies, etc... It really is that good. The only down side is mascarpone cheese is expensive.
pecan pie cupcakes with cinnamon mascarpone frosting
recipe adapted from Bake or Break
print recipe
1 ½ cups toasted & chopped pecans
1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 sticks salted butter, melted
1 ts salt
1 ½ ts of good quality vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients and mix well. (I added all ingredients, mixed then added the butter in, mixed, then added in the eggs and mixed again)
Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Fill each 3/4 full. (I filled them to the top)
Bake in preheated oven for approx. 30 – 40 minutes
(start to watch them after 30 minutes as this cooks all depending on your oven and type of cupcake pans).
You can tell they are done when a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, just like a cake does. Cool before frosting.
To make the frosting see below.
cinnamon mascarpone frosting
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 - 2 TB of confectioner's sugar
1 TB ground cinnamon
Mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar and cinnamon to taste.
Frost cupcakes have they cooled completely.
Makes 12 regular size cupcakes
Cook Notes:
I added in way more pecans, about 2 cups. I did not chop the pecans too small, but rather big chunks. The original recipe was half of what I have up there; I assume it was for mini cupcakes. I made regular sized cupcakes, but you can try the mini's and tell me how they were. These cupcakes do not rise, so how I went ahead and filled them to the top. The batter will be liquidly, that's ok. The original recipe did not add in vanilla; I simply had too.
The frosting should not be too sweet as the cupcake already is. So adjust the amount of sugar you put in there. I didn't want it too sweet, but more of a mild taste with some cinnamon so I used about 1 ½ TB of confectioners sugar. I've also seen these cupcakes with no frosting and a good drizzle of melted milk chocolate over the tops.

Erlebniss Verarbeitung: Experience Processing
So, last winter I had a hat pattern published in the book Fair Isle Basics & Beyond. Here's the hat:
And here's the original version of the hat (note the use of yellow), which was knit as a present for Andrew Kolb, the illustrator who drew an image of me knitting and drinking a scotch.
And here's the book! When I organized my things to move into my studio, I realized that I have two copies.
Would you like a copy of the book? Yes? If so, leave me a comment with either a piece of advice about how to get over jetlag or a link to something that you find visually fascinating. I'll draw a winner randomly on Monday after I . . .
Get back from teaching at Fibre Space! What are YOU doing this weekend? Are you in the Alexandria area? If you are, why not come and take a class with me? I'm teaching a square shawl design class and a color theory/Albers cowl class. These classes promise to be extra fun and slap happy because I'm so disoriented after all the traveling I've been doing. It will be a riot.
Finally, in the next post: The CONTAINER SHIP club is revealed!!! I'll be posting a photo of the first pattern and you'll have a chance to sign up for the super-low introductory rate. It promises to be a club like no other!!!

To get over jet lag, force yourself to stay awake until it's time to go to bed, eat whatever you feel like, once in bed set your alarm to wake at your normal time.

Oh wow -- I relatively recently got back from an also overwhelming trip to Germany. Jet lag tip: naps, lots of water, and occasional ibuprofen. Something visually stimulating: this glimpse of sky above a bridge over a pretty fantastic site in Iceland, where I had a two day stopover while coming home ... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eJ9gLoGmsk4/TwXbn78QUbI/AAAAAAAABBo/ato5CHbPJ5g/s1600/Gullfoss+Bridge%252C+Iceland-001.jpg

Having just gotten over a bout of jet lag, I can recommend power naps, lots of water, and occasional ibuprofen. For eye candy, here's a pretty fantastic glimpse of sky above a bridge over a river in Iceland, where I got to stopover for several days coming home from Germany!

Love the hat! The best getting-over-jetlag experience I've ever had was, unfortunately for you, traveling in the opposite directions (Boston to Lisbon). We arrived first thing in the morning and our hosts let us nap until noon. Then they got us up and took us out to a street festival which lasted into the wee hours of the morning. We were exhausted enough after that that it was no problem getting to bed on time the rest of our trip. Can't wait to hear about Germany - it is such a beautiful country.

With the little experience I've had with jet lag, I find just forcing yourself into your new sleep schedule is what works for me, even though it may not be fun.
As for something visually fascinating, I'm kind of in love with The Desktop Wallpaper Project at The Fox is Black.

Ugh, jetlag is the WORST.
Whenever you manage to crawl into the land of the living, go outside and spend at least 20m in direct sun, even if all you can manage is to just sit there. Eat a large heavy dinner but don't drink - I always try on day 2 or 3 expecting it to help but it just makes things worse.
Oh, and don't nap.
:-( But yay Germany!

Amazing hat! You have such a unique aesthetic. The yellow/ green one reminds me of peacock feathers. Drink lots of water (or coconut water) because flying is dehyrating. I have a couple aerial pictures I took on my last flight here www.portlanddiy.blogspot.com that I like alot.

Ah, the jetlag. Drink at least a few sips of water during each of the daylight hours. As tempting as coffee and beer and delicious sugary foods will seem, keep them to a minimum (no coffee or stimulants after 12 noon-1pm if you can manage it).
And, if you absolutely must lie down during the day, make it a light catnap, not a long sleepy nap! Good luck.

As someone in a long-distance (5,000+ miles) relationship, I've had to do a lot of traveling internationally, and the best cure for jet-lag is sex! Not really, but wouldn't it be nice? I've found that spending as much time in the sun as possible helps reset my clock.

I find the best way to fight jet lag is a mix of some of the earlier comments. I drink water along with soothing herbal teas and I usually have to take acetaminophen for the headache long flights always give me. Hope this helps!

It's a bit late now, but investing in a package of the homeopathic remedy JetZone is the best bet. It was developed by flight crews from New Zealand and is amazing. I recommend it at work all the time and get nothing but positive feedback (and it made a trip to Australia much more enjoyable coherent).
And I finished my Albers that I started at your class at Dragonfly Fibers last month and spent a blissful hour this morning playing with my color wheel.

Oh, you went to my home country - I still love going back!
On jetlag - first of all NO meds of any kind; try instead drinking a lot but slowly to stay hydrated (many people say only water works but I like diet ginger ale or ginger tea which has added advantage to calm stomach), go to bed and get up at your usual hours but if you get really tired during the day allow yourself to take a short 15-30mins nap (not longer though) and you will be fine in no time. I travel a lot and also to Asia where your day is turned upside down and that regimen helps every time.

Let me tell you, I wish I had an answer to getting over jetlag. I recently returned from Germany as well (so awesome), and the jet lag kicked my butt for almost a whole week upon my return home.

Jet lag is beaten by switching to the new time immediately. Then, eat and sleep when the locals do. Enjoy!

Stupid jet lag! Drink lots of water and always eat on the schedule of your destination country (too late for this, I think). And use a light box in the mornings for a week or so.
Your version of the hat is gorgeous. Could stare at it all day.

To help with jetlag, try melatonin. your body produces it to help with your circadian rhythm. you should be able to find it in drug stores or even in grocery stores with the vitamins and supplements.

Traveling to and from Las Vegas last year was fun and exciting, but the jetlag was overwhelming to say the least. I went to the fitness center and worked out until I was tired and went to sleep. I changed my watch immediately, so I would not think about what time it was at home.

The way to get over jet lag is to keep on flying to your home away from home and hang out with your besties in MD/DC/VA. I heard Karaoke is a good remedy, too. If all else fails, pick someone's bday and celebrate with them. Xo-

My jet lap tip is similar to the others. Force yourself to stay awake to the new time zone clock, drink lots of fluids and get outdoors for some time walking in the daylight. Then a glass of wine at bedtime while reading a book and light's out.
- May 28, 2012 at 8:18 AM
- Debbie said...
I do not travel that much, but my suggestion to avoid (not get over)jet lag is to sleep on the plane, in the car, on the train, etc. as much as you can. Also unless you are over 4 hours in a different time zone from your home time zone, don't reset your watch. But I guess you were farther away than that.

Cross-posted at Female Impersonator
Warning: this post could be a trigger for victims of sexual violence.
In the wake of Amelia's posts on rape and the disgusting spectacle of Johnny Vegas raping a woman onstage in a sorry display of dudely humor, I wanted to share how utterly mundane and common rape is.
A huge misconception is that only the psychologically deviant rape women. In that link, the author claims that it is "staggeringly insensitive" to post fliers around a college campus that read "Man up, get consent". Why? Well, because the "ridiculous idea that rape is not caused by the sociopathic tendencies of individual men, but because men as a whole watch too many Michael Bay films".
The author clearly as never heard of the tabula rasa theory which states that our socialization and upbringing have much more to do with how we interact with the people and the world around us then genetics. Simply put, there is no "rape" gene. Scientists will never pin-point the exact sequence of DNA that makes some men rapists and others "nice guys" because it does not exist.
This fiction of the psychological illness of rapists, similar to the myth of pedophilia, causes the deadly culture of silence that aids and abets sexual assaults, rapes, and other forms of violence against women every day. The patriarchy and its underlying premise that men are not responsible for treating women like pieces of meat baptizes each and every one of us in Dude Culture as young as possible.
For as long as I can remember, I can say that I would rather be maimed and handicapped than ugly. My identity and success in life, because I am a woman, is directly correlated with my ability to titillate and treat myself like the plaything of men. My self worth is boosted every time a man looks me up and down. I wait behind good-looking men in the line of a local fast food joint and wish for them to notice me. My worth is directly tied to my sexuality. I am the Sex Class, I am a woman.
And I was sexually assaulted and raped repeatedly by my first serious boyfriend and the man I lost my virginity to.
Rape is not uncommon. By law, what that asshole did to me was not rape because I cannot prove it. However, I was repeatedly goaded into various sex acts while I feigned sickness or exhaustion to get out of seeing him. After he moved out of the suburbs, and into an adjacent dorm, I would make excuses to have study sessions with my very large and loud male English peer review partner. Seeing him was a nightmare. The sex was awful. I fooled myself by thinking that it was about time I got rid of my virginity anyway (I was 18) and that if I asked him later I would eventually get an orgasm out of the deal. However, if I did not want to kiss, I was groped and fingered through my clothes when he would visit my dorm after his classes. If all I wanted was a massage, I got my bare breasts pawed at for an hour while I pretended I was asleep so that he would go away. He would belittle my opinions, ignore my desires, and take advantage of me whenever he so wished. I was an accessory to his life, I was his masturbation aid. I was not a person.
When I finally broke up with him, he would invite himself along with my friends and hang all over me like I was his possession. I remained silent throughout it all because I thought it that was normal that I was taken advantage of and I did not wish to make a scene or make others uncomfortable. It was my fault that I did not enjoy the sex. I was frigid. I was wrong. I was a whore.
I have never shared this farce of love with anyone. Over two years later, I have not been in a serious relationship with a man due to serious trust issues. Until just recently, I thought that there was something wrong with me. Now I finally know that what he did to me, and what he took away, can never be replaced. It was sexual assault, and if the law was less sexist than it is, my entire relationship was months of rape. I will never see justice because there is no evidence other than my word and my pain.
My ex-boyfriend is not a sociopath. He is a normal college male who wanted some tits to paw at. When breaking up with him, he asked, "does that mean I do not get booby privileges anymore?" He probably has a girlfriend now, who lets him finger her after she feigns a headache to get him to go away. He is a rapist. I am a rape victim. He is a product of a sick society, and I am the victim. I am the loser, because I was born with a vagina and indoctrinated in the ideology that my worth as a person is indistinguishable from my ability to please men.
Women, because of socialization, are raped every day. Why? Because we as a society have placed women in the Sex Class, and by doing so, have furthered the disgusting agenda of rapists the world over. Rape only happens to women that fight it, that are raped by strangers, that have evidence and did not orgasm. I was raped. I never fought it, I knew my rapist and introduced him to my friends and family as my boyfriend. I have no proof other than my hole in my heart where my faith in humanity used to be. My body reminds me of the pain/pleasure that it suffered/enjoyed to this day.
Sociopaths do not rape women, men rape women. The only thing insulting about asking men to get consent, not the absence of resistance, is that we have to fucking ask in the first place. I know first hand how rape happens and what a rapist looks like.
I also know what a rape victim looks like. I see her in the mirror every day.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings may be draped in the cloak of a brutal fantasy world filled with monsters and magic, but it offers an interesting reflection of real-world problems. It's a political drama where those in command are governed by fear and uncertainty. It shines light on racism and sexism in ways that shows developer CD Projekt RED is unafraid to push narrative boundaries beyond most games in its class.
Based on the book series from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher 2 goes worlds beyond the 2007 original title in almost every conceivable way (though there is some contention with the game's ending). Combat is completely overhauled--and after a few balance tweaks soon after release, it's satisfying to the point of perfection. The game can be unapologetic in its command for your attention and skill, pushing aside a generation of games marketed to the era of players raised by handholding execution.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was perhaps a game many have missed due to its demanding requirements, but it was (and remains) an adventure of epic scale and scope. It is one of the few games that genuinely offers players a choice. What you do matters, offering players a diverging path that shelves an entire section of the game reserved for choosing another path.
Beyond the joy of slaying monsters and uncovering a major conspiracy as Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher 2 is gorgeous. If your machine can handle it, The Witcher 2 may be the most breathtaking adventure we've ever experienced.
Much like any game--even those we regard as classics--The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has a few missteps; though many of its "bugs" have long since been squashed by the game's developer.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings isn't vast in the same way that Skyrim is. It is often linear in its overall story, though choices made along the way are important to the tale. Linearity is only troublesome if a game's vision is as confined as its environments are and The Witcher 2 suffers from no such flaw. It is focused. It's a wonderful game that you must play (either now on PC or this upcoming May when it arrives on Xbox 360). For these reasons and more, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has proudly been voted as the Shacknews.com 2011 Game of the Year.

She's an inventor who has started her own company, AnthroTronix, to make that kind of intuitive technology part of our lives. But as NPR's Joe Palca tells us in his Morning Edition story, "this kind of intimate connection with computers is still a ways off. For now Lathan's company is taking smaller steps, using available technology to explore ways for humans and computers to get along and work together."
For example, working as an engineer with astronauts at NASA, Lathan realized that the physical challenges of living in space in some ways mirror the challenges of living with a disability on Earth. Building on that insight, she invented a playful robot that could help make it easier for children with cerebral palsy to get through physical therapy. She and her team also came up with a glove-based interface so that soldiers could move their hands and communicate wordlessly while on night patrol. And after that came a gamelike test to help figure out in the field whether a soldier has suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Lathan dreams of going further, inventing machines that will help us communicate not just our actions and thoughts but also our feelings. She gives a glimpse of her vision in the video below.
It's just a fact that many of us now spend the whole day interacting with computers, and computers are increasingly designed to interact very specifically with you.
Google, Facebook - they track what you're watching, and try to deliver ads tailored to your interests. It can be irritating but maybe also reassuring when the computers get it wrong because it means they don't have you figured out just yet.
INSKEEP: Today, we're going to meet an engineer who thinks a lot about how computers will interact with humans in the future. She spoke with NPR's Joe Palca as he continues his series "Joe's Big Idea."
JOE PALCA, BYLINE: In the TV show "Star Trek: The Next Generation," the ultimate evil enemy threatening to destroy humanity was an alien species known as the Borg Collective.
PATRICK STEWART: (as Locutus) I am Locutus, a Borg. Resistance is futile.
PALCA: One of the things that made the Borg so lethal was that they had a collective consciousness. Every Borg was connected neurally with every other Borg, so they could share knowledge.
CORINNA LATHAN: If you could spin the Borg Collective in a positive way, that's almost exactly how I envision the future.
PALCA: That's Corinna Lathan. Sharp as a tack and quick to laugh, she's not interested in world domination. But she is interested in technologies that allow people to connect through computers to each other. Sharing consciousness is still in the future, but Lathan says there are technologies heading in that direction that are available now - for example, pop-up displays in your eyeglasses that will tell you about the people and places you're walking past; or sensors in your clothing that could kind of tap you on the shoulder when there's a friend of yours behind you.
To pursue her interests, she founded a company called AnthroTronix. Around 15 engineers and designers work with her to dream up, build and test the kind of technologies Lathan thinks the future needs.
LATHAN: When you walk through a mall, everyone's looking at their cell phone, and they're on the Internet, they're texting, they're doing whatever. They're completely disconnected from the crowd.
PALCA: But what if instead of going to your smartphone screen, all that information you shared about yourself on Facebook - or your friends have shared about themselves - could just flow into your body? And what if Facebook not only knew what you were doing but how you were feeling?
LATHAN: Imagine if Facebook where now you're connected to it physiologically as well. So when you're Facebooking your friends in real-time, you know their emotional state, you know their physical state. You know they're tired and they're depressed or you know they're euphoric because something great just happened.
PALCA: Now, this may sound a bit scary and invasive. But Lathan doesn't see it that way. Knowing exactly how your friends or others around you are feeling could make you more empathetic, better able to get on their wavelength, so to speak. And besides, you can already tell if someone you're standing next to is depressed or euphoric. Lathan just sees this as making a virtual togetherness, bringing your friends into your personal space, even though they're far away. Hi.
LATHAN: Hello.
PALCA: How are you? Good to see you again.
LATHAN: Good to see you.
PALCA: This kind of intimate connection with computers is still a ways off. For now, Lathan's company is taking smaller steps, using available technology to explore ways for humans and computers to get along and work together.
LATHAN: Well, let me take you right to the back, right to the heart of where a lot of our work is done and then we'll circle back and talk about some of the projects out here.
PALCA: We enter a large room cluttered with computer parts, kids' toys, wiring harnesses.
LATHAN: You can see bits and pieces of robots, of homemade testing devices. You can see our 3-D printer so we can do prototyping, workstations for soldering and electronics.
PALCA: If you want to see what all this stuff looks like, there's a video on the Joe's Big Idea page on NPR.org. Lathan says she founded the company back in 1999 with a contract from the Department of Defense and a grant from the Department of Education to make instrumented gloves.
LATHAN: We have drawers and drawers of gloves.
PALCA: Gloves with sensors in them for controlling computers and robots. And she made robots.
LATHAN: Our original robot was Jesterbot, which was literally made out of foam and an old remote-control car. Uh-oh.
PALCA: Jesterbot's head falls off.
LATHAN: Not very stable right now. And then our first generation of cosmobot actually had a compact iPack as its guts in the inside.
PALCA: These early inventions came out of Lathan's work when she was an engineering professor at Catholic University. Since my new project, Joe's Big Idea, is about understanding the minds and motivations of scientists and inventors, I had to ask Lathan why she turned away from basic research.
LATHAN: I think that's really important. I see the value to it. But I really liked the idea of being accountable to a customer.
PALCA: For Lathan, the idea that people were prepared to put money behind her ideas was more important than rising through the ranks in a university.
LATHAN: I think entrepreneurs tend to be very passionate about what they're working on. You have to believe very deeply in what you're doing so it becomes - it's more a part of your life and who you are than a day job.
PALCA: Another thing Lathan is passionate about is making sure girls get the same support and encouragement for going into science and engineering as boys. She says she was surprised to learn that many girls didn't get the same kind of career support from their families and teachers that she did. She even started an organization called Keys to Empower Youth, a science and technology mentoring program for middle-school girls.
LATHAN: When I was in grad school, I mean I was very often the only woman in my class. I was the only woman professor in the entire school of engineering at Catholic University. And so I think I've always been very sensitive to the fact that I need to be a role model and also make an environment that is friendly to women coming into the profession.
PALCA: One of the projects Lathan is focusing on these days is making tools for helping the military decide when someone has suffered a brain injury.
LATHAN: We've put together a tool called the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment Tool.
PALCA: It's a low-tech way of assessing the health of someone's brain. She hands me what looks like an armored cell phone - which in fact it is - and has me start one of the assessment tasks.
So all I'm doing here is I'm touching a screen every time a little star-shaped thing shows up.
LATHAN: It's called simple reaction time.
PALCA: Turns out your reaction time can slow considerably when you've had a brain injury.
LATHAN: So the next one's a little bit harder.
PALCA: It's also a reaction time test, but with a decision. One of two colored stick figures will pop up on the screen.
LATHAN: The white figure is a foe, the green figure is a friend. And you press fire only if the foe appears. So only if the white target appears; do nothing if the green appears.
PALCA: Some people with brain injuries seem to have a hard time doing nothing when the green appears. These simple tests are a pretty rudimentary way of peering into someone's brain, but Lathan sees them as a start. The technology to more directly read someone's thoughts could certainly be useful, but it's easy to see how it could be misused as well. Lathan says that's an issue with any new technology.
LATHAN: It's our responsibility to make sure A) that it's used for good, and B) that we can defend against it not being used for good.
PALCA: Otherwise we could fall prey to this...
STEWART: (as Locutus) From this time forward you will service us.
PALCA: Whoa. That doesn't sound good at all. Joe Palca, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Back to Qasab and his 'confession'. The timing is significant. Did Hillaryben's sortie have anything to do with his sudden and dramatic change of heart?? Why should we oblige this evil man and hang him?? He deserves a worse fate.
I came home to Shravan. It is an important month for me. And perfectly timed as it turns out. No meat, no wine and a strict fast on mondays. A great way to detox and deal with the excess of the past few weeks. I'm scheduled to leave for Orissa early next week, but am dreading the trek to the airport once again. The only way to 'enjoy' the rains is to stay home and watch from a dry\safe distance. Let me know if you want more Krakow stories... I have several to share!

High Tide! my gaad, these media boys and girls have made it sound like tsunami. One of my napeansea road ka SoBo chokra friends, refuses to come down from the 6th floor because he thinks that tsunami will come and will wash him away... I called several of our comman friends and informed them about his fright... deriving sadistic pleasure of his superstitions... He hhas had so many of his friends call him and laugh... and i too, cant stop laughing since morn. Sometime its nice to be scatterbrainishly naughty ... hahahahhah.
on a serious note, its nice that they are intimating us of such high tides. I hope this doesnt again become an obsessive compulsive disorder. Where to safeguard their rear they make a flood out of a predicted drizzle.
Kasab! I dont know why the heck is teh case being dragged. He should be killed or treated. Since the popular decision would be to terminate him... we should do that soon. Why waste paisas like that.
hilary ben has been living such a royal life in India... was she also frisked by indian puleees? she should be na...?
Why do indians give her such vaddda treatment... they had closed roads etc when she visited...
Poor Behen... She is... her tryst with bio & chemistry is always a disaster... be it protein stains or Carbon Monoxide...

why this fuss over some one who killed hundreds,i think the indian system is going a bit over board in the name of fair trial, why not just come out with a decision and end the whole thing!!!!!!

indeed there was a same thought that crossed my mind over Hillaryben.
"Did Hillary get a truth pill for kasab?". i wrote and thought passed away.Because not many people could see it from that angle.
Oh! water water every where, its really getting too much importance, a pothole of water is also said to be mithi river.
Auspicious month of sharavan is here, nothing but a great feeling.

India does not have the balls (pardon my language but I am so angry!) to hang Kasab.
This guy has been a part of a mission which has killed so many people and we are still talking about a "trial". No wonder that our neighbors are happily sending people over to kill people in India.

Kasab is far more witty than we can even imagine...this can be observed by his confession, a full plan once again to lead then mislead then manipulate thought process of the best of brains available in India.....
As I see the pics of Mumbai drowning it wholly resembles the flood situation of Assam, maybe even worse here....
Apart and above all the OUR APJ is perfect example 'of' the people, the decorum... hats off to him as he truly represents Aam Aadmi, so does Hillary knows about this and its time our 'Netas' learn and earn a degree.
Welcome back Home!

We always want more stories from you shobha! The trial has been revealing so many discrepancies and contradictions. along with the mysterious confidential report and the totally unconvincing stand of the government, the confession of kasab obfuscates further. a quick execution would be likely be very desireable to some people. what is really going on? god knows! by the way, thanks for the blog shobha. i love it. james

Shobhaa, thanks for taking us around on your trips. More stories, yes.
We should hang Kasab as soon as possible and get rid of all the controversies that wiil keep arising by keeping him in our jail. Our politicians look for such issues to raise controversies and then start washing their dirty linen in public. Or else some madman will again highjack a plane to demand freedom for Kasab , or Afzal Guru or both.

so, a punishment for kasab that is worse than death? tell him he is hindu by birth and his whole life has been a lie!
honestly, what next? tv channels were showing us what he has for lunch, dinner and "chai". whether he shaved or bathed or spoke to his family. such channels should be taken off air. to indians it does not matter if the person is a murderer or a terrorist, he is a celebrity. not once have they shown the families of the other victims. but, lo behold! they went to kasab's village and spoke to every family member! i am so proud of our media!

@ Shobhaa De
Apart from the book, could you provide more info on Oscar Schindler & the museum?
Did the Deutsche government honour him while he was alive? From what I know, it's only Israel that's been glorifying his sacrifices.
I would have visited Auschwitz than go to some trendy place, out of sheer curiosity & a love for political history.

Hello shobhaji, I hope u will love reading following wrriten by m:
kuch rang hai itne saare ki bikhare bikhare se lagte hai..
jo saath hai wo nahi ; jo door hai wo apne se lagte hai...
kuch sapne aankho mein itne saare..
ki dekhe dekhe se lagtey hai..
ab poore hue jo khawab mere, to iraade toote toote se lagtey hai..
kuch rang hai itne saare ki bikhare bikhare se lagte hai..
pal ho jab khud Do pal ka ; tab har pal apne se lagte hai...
kuch baatein yaadoan mein itni saari..
ki khwabon mein batiyaane lagte hai..
wo baatein nahi par saasein thi meri..
jo yaad aane par tootne lagti hai..
kuch muskurahat teri itni pyaari..
ki mere aansu bhi palko se aisa kehtey hai..
tu door kahin khwabon mein mere
aur yaad karun to tu roothne lagti hai...
kuch rang hai itne saare ki bikhare bikhare se lagte hai..
jo saath hai wo nahi ; jo door hai wo apne se lagte hai..

They should keep Qasab. Use him to get every one involved. Dont close the case. Let every one involved know that as long as Qasab is alive, they cant escape !!! Qasab is just a PAWN. Go and get the real guys who used Qasab, they will still use people like Qasab, bring them to justice!! He could be a valuable witness, dont lose him so fast !!! Put pressure on Pak to handover the whole network, do the right thing using Qasab!!!

comment on : "DON'T DARE TOUCH ME. I AM A VIP" which I just read in TOI.
I could'nt wait till this appeared on your personal blog, which is probably read far more often. You could'nt be more right about VIP syndrome by which every second person one meets is infected except probably the real VIPs like APJ. If frisking EVERY ONE is the law of US, I guess we cannot object; but it's not so much about feeling belittled about our VIPs, as much as us it's about our psyche which is suffering from this age old vip syndrome. I would agree that a law should be passed that no staff in beaurocracy should salute/bow/lend to any government offical. There will be resistance from the very VIPs we are talking about; but eventually the dust will settle down. Remember the princely privy purse matters?
Hillary tai's popularity was a classic case of our Psyche. At the risk of openly offending you and your peers, I think it has more to do with media idiocyncracy and their cheap gimmicks than public psyche. though public psyche is equally nuts, I agree. I am tempted to mention here a real life incident that happened to me. We had some close American friends (whites) visiting us in Pune. We took them out sight seeing; as they did to us in the US. As we reached Ajanta caves and they were busy shooting pictures with all of us, a group of fellow Indians requested to be photographed with us. As we smilingly got ready to pose they asked us (Indians) to remain out of their frame. That's what I call inbred racism.
Air India and it's staff are classic 'works in progress' as far as racism is concerned. I gave up showing my flying patriotism after I was subjected to 3/4 instances of racism and open fraud. On one accasion they made my 2 minor and unaccompanied children sit in the last economy row of a packed aircraft and failed to serve them even economy meals on board, inspite of my kids holding First Class boarding passes (not just tickets). Apparently, some VIPs/PNIs (People of NO Importance) were to be upgraded (free) on this journey. You my dear, either travel First Class, AND being a CELEBRITY - a journo at that; have no clue how your fellow passengers get treated. you just experienced classism/racism at its worst! Coz you got treated like a VIP.
Your article is great on all other counts as usual.

introspection, you spoke for me and others. You are bang on. Kalam travelled without active support from the Indian government which would have avoided the embarassment. He chose to fly as an ordinary citizen and was treated like one. Kalam should have informed the government about his itinerary and the government in turn should have acted promptly.
We cant help it about our preferences for white skinned foreigners. It is a hopeless situation.
Air India is notorious for its treatment towards ordinary folks. Would they have shown the same generosity towards any of us?

This picture shows the scatterometer winds (in arrows or flags), with an infrared satellite image (from METEOSAT, GOES or GMS) and numerical weather prediction model winds (currently only HIRLAM forecast in the Northern Atlantic region, in blue arrows or flags) as well as an indicative ice mask (in blue) on the background.
A wind flag is represented by barbs and solid pennants, a full barb representing a wind speed of 5 m/s, a half barb representing a wind speed of 2.5 m/s, and a pennant representing a wind speed of 25 m/s. A calm indicator circle is plotted if the wind speed is less than 0.5 m/s.
The exact data acquisition time is plotted in red next to the satellite swath.
A magenta marker on top of the wind arrow denotes land or ice presence. Orange wind arrows or flags indicate that the Variational Quality Control flag is set, i.e. the Wind Vector Cell is spatially inconsistent. Black arrows or flags mean that the KNMI Quality Control Flag is set. More information on the quality flags can be obtained from the ASCAT Wind Product User Manual.
