Happy Valentine's Day - Cookie Monster Edition
this year we are not doing anything big. I wanted to do something special with Grace because this is her first Valentine's Day where you can "make" her give you lots of kisses and hugs.
I found this cookie kit at Safeway for $6.99. It contains 12 cookies, sprinkles, hard candy hearts and four baggies of frosting: red, pink and white.
I decorated the cookies with the frosting and grace put the finishing touches with sprinkles and candy hearts on them.
She had lots of fun with the decorating - one problem was of course that she wanted to eat the cookies!
At the end I gave her one cookie... LOL... what a mess.
They all turned out great! So much fun, little presents from the heart.
Look at my little cookie monster!
Valentine's Day cookies - yummy
And for Daddy I made a little something....
An altered Bart Simpson Lunch box I made into a cookie lunch box for my honey sweetheart. Also I made a little card to go with it.
Inside were some red velvet macaroons - I was told they were delicious....
I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! What did you do?

To add to this list: (4) cookies, probably important enough to hold up 2.8.1 (a) cookies are stored in memory in reverse order than they appear in the cookie file, and then re-written in reverse order. I've taken quick looks around and can't see where this is happening. This causes problems where cookies are sent to the remote server in the wrong order. -- GPG & PGP public keys: <URL:http://www.psnw.com/~posterkid/keys/> PGP fingerprint: 42 57 B3 D2 39 8E 74 C3 5E 4D AC 43 25 D2 26 D4

The Lil-Mule Motion Control Time Lapse Dolly Kickstarter Ends Soon at Over 300% FundingThe Lil-Mule is an incredibly cool new device that's currently up on Kickstarter for funding, and is sitting at $50,000 with a mere $15,000 goal. Needless to say, this one's getting off the ground. The Lil-Mule is a heavy-duty motorized camera dolly that can make straight or curved moves and has no limit to the amount of distance it can travel.
The Lil Mule is simple to use - all you need to do is turn the knob that controls your speed forward or in reverse and you're done. Different motors are available for different effects too. For $675 on Kickstarter you'l get a pack of three different motors including 0.5 rpm, 6 rpm and 20 rpm. The basic motorized version will run you $525.
Early reviews, like the one from Chase Jarvis and Sohail, have been positive, with the Lil-Mule's arcing feature being called out as the marquee - it's what makes the Lil-Mule special.
There's still time to pick up a Lil-Mule through the Kickstarter promotion. Deliveries are expected in March and April.

Local councils across Australia are split on whether to ban curb-side collection of electronic waste to keep toxic chemicals out of landfill two months after the Federal Government announced a national recycling scheme.
It's an issue that has divided a city and now looks like dividing the nation. Sydney's Pittwater Council, under the Shore Regional Organisation of Councils (SHOROC), was the first in the country to put a ban on the collection of e-waste including televisions, computers and other electrical equipment. Its decision comes ahead of federal legislation that will see hundreds and possibly thousands of recycling depots installed across Australia.
As a result residents in the region, on the northern side of Sydney Harbour including Manly, Mosman, Pittwater and Warringah, now must "take the initiative" and either dump their e-waste at one of 20 recycling depots or hold onto their equipment until a designated council recycling day, the first of which will be held late next month.
SHOROC said the decision was taken because toxic e-waste chemicals like lead, cadmium and mercury cost more than $1500 per tonne to dispose of safely.
At a National General Assembly of Local Government in June last year Pittwater Council proposed that all councils consider implementing a ban on the dumping of e-waste into landfill. Council community relations officer Sally Williams said all councils had agreed to investigate the proposal.
"All councils agreed to consult their communities about a ban [on e-waste landfill disposal]," Williams told Computerworld. "Across Australia it is gathering steam."
Yet, Sydney City Council which is across the other side of Sydney Harbour, has not introduced a ban. Instead of stopping curb-side collection it has held quarterly e-waste recycling days which have collected more than 40 million tonnes since early 2008.
Many state-based local government associations representing local councils and contacted by Computerworld have favoured state-enforced legislation, rather than bans by councils, to maintain consistency.
In the southern states of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, the state governments have considered state-wide bans on e-waste disposal into landfill. However, it is too early to say whether such legislation will be proposed.
The Australian Local Government Association had thrown its weight behind bans, but executive director of policy and research John Pritchard could not comment on the position of individual councils.
"The motion is not binding… we fully support the scheme and the Commonwealth legislation. Some [councils] have taken the view that people should hold off with their e-waste disposal until recycling systems are in place," Pritchard said.
"Our view is that we would encourage councils and consumers to work with … the national scheme."
Contrary to their northern Sydney counterparts, Western Australia and the Northern Territory councils have not banned e-waste disposal into landfill. While talks about improving the availability of e-waste recycling are underway by the WA government, according to the Northern Territory Department of Environment and Conservation, no such recycling systems exist in its region.
A spokesperson in charge of waste management in the Territory told Computerworld all recycling had to be shipped to South Australia for processing and then aboard, and that there are no systems for e-waste recycling on offer from government or private industry bodies.
Indonesia, Thailand and India are three of Australia's e-waste dumping grounds. Australia presently lacks the $200- to $300-million facilities required to recycle batteries, and further reduce plastics and metals. However Dave West, technical consultant with waste-avoidance group, Boomerang Alliance said the government will do as "much reprocessing as possible" in Australia.
E-waste is the fastest growing waste product globally, according to Greenpeace, a problem exacerbated not only by the inclusion of toxic materials, but the low value of recycled products like steel which falls short of covering recycling costs.
In November the Federal Government said computers and televisions will be the first products regulated as part of a national recycling scheme endorsed by state and federal environment ministers. At the time Federal environment minister, Peter Garrett, said in a statement that the new "industry-run national collection and recycling scheme" will be up and running in or before 2011.
Earlier that month, industry groups signed a charter presented at the Environmental Protection and Heritage Council meeting to push a national e-waste recycling scheme. As part of the project, householders will be "able to drop off used computers and TVs for recycling free of charge", Garret said in the statement.
The issue of curb-side collection, however, is still yet to be resolved and some observers have noted the Federal Government will need to create more than 1000 electronic-waste collection points — some 800 more than currently planned — to meet its 2020 recycling targets.

put it on anything
Pfeffilon, Switzerland (PRWEB) March 30, 2014
J. Lee's Gourmet BBQ Sauce, the sauce you can "put on anything" that originated in Biloxi, Mississippi, recently filled the company's first international commercial request. The sauce will now be carried by Passion 4 Food, located in Pfeffikon, Switzerland. Passion 4 Food's representative became aware of J. Lee's Gourmet BBQ Sauce (J. Lee's) through customer testimonials on the internet; and researched the organization via its web page and social media sites. But once they were able to demo the product with their local customer base and the rave reviews came pouring in; it was an easy decision to make J. Lee's Gourmet BBQ Sauce a part of the store's selection. American style barbecue is in extremely high demand worldwide, and J. Lee's is one of the fastest growing brands in the Southern United States.
J. Lee's Gourmet BBQ Sauce has only been bottled for a little over six months. Having an International presence so quickly is a rare accomplishment, but The Sauce Team, or TST, is confident that this is only the beginning. J. Lee's has already placed in the top 1% in its first national bbq competition, is carried by 20+ stores stateside, and is featured at six local restaurants.
The Sauce Team of James Lee, Founder; Ashante Vereen, Sales and Marketing Director; and Curtis Jennings, Public Affairs Representative; continue traveling the Gulf Coast region and beyond, promoting and sampling the sauce to customers at every opportunity. Most recently, TST traveled to Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama and sold 342 bottles in 15 hours, spanning two days. The people absolutely loved its aroma and texture. They were excited and became quite animated over the unique taste of J. Lee's Gourmet BBQ Sauce. TST is working hard to spread the sauce across the South and eventually nationwide. Internet orders can be placed immediately at http://www.jleessauce.com just in time for the barbeque season.

Horseshue Miniatures
How We Got Started
We started our "mini" venture in 2003 when we purchased
our first two miniature horses. We purchased a stallion & a mare with plans to breed the two, to just get one foal and
keep all 3, well as they say miniatures are very "addicting" and you can't just own 1! So we kept adding on little by little,
and we are always buying new mares & stallions to add on to our herd, to produce the best quality miniatures.
Owner of Horseshue Miniatures is Vicki & Robert Shue. Vicki
has had horses all of her life, and use to raise AQHA horses, and show at AQHA shows. She fell in love with the miniatures,
and sold out of AQHA horses, now spends her time with the mini's any chance she gets. Vicki takes care of the foaling out
of the mares. And daily chores.
Kayla, is the daughter of Vicki & Robert. She as well grew up
with the AQHA horses, trained and showed AQHA horses. She normally takes care of the marketing, and selling of the mini's,
as well as barn manager and possibly training. Along with daily chores.
We are nesteled on 3 acres of country land, our barn
currently consists of nicely venalated 12X12 stalls fully finished wood barn, daily turn out, dry lot and grass lot, with
many different pastures. A huge riding/driving arena (use to be for the AQHA horses), and a 60ft round pen. The stallions
have there own run in sheds, and nice mesh fence paddocks. We are fully equiped with a foaling camera system, to keep
close eye on the mares. Mares & Foals have a safe surrounding when being outside, in nice snow fence pasture, so foal
canno't get under the fence, or through the fence, Each pasture is situated with dry & grass with at least 1 run in shed.
What we breed for
We are breeding for, quality conformed miniature horses,
specializing in overo & tovero. Our miniatures are always normally double registered AMHA & AMHR but if
they are what we are looking for, we will look past that if they are only AMHR or only AMHA but we will not get over 34",
maybe sometime in the future we will also add on an over herd. We strive for well known bloodlines, with some of the most
well known names, such has Reeces Thunder Hawk, NFC Fire & Ice, Modern, Lucky Four, Buckeroo & many more to
come in the future. We choose the perfect crosses between what we own currently for only have a few select foals each year.
What we like to see in our miniatures
*Pretty Heads
*Big Doe eyes
*Tipy ears
*Long Hooky necks
*Nice top lines
*High Tail Sets
*Straight Legs & Correct Bite
*Overo & Tovero on top of the above
(many of our foals have these wonderful qualities)
What we plan to do
In the near future, we plan to start showing AMHR .
Later possibly moving into the AMHA show ring as well. We are planning to show National Calibur horses, in halter & Driving.
And later hope we can produce National quality foals, that will excel in the show ring!
Possibly opening up a training & showing facility
of our own, after a few years out there.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Mayor Joe Hogsett is responding to criticism about his ability to lead after 2016 became the deadliest year in Indianapolis history.
In 2015, IMPD Investigations Unit reported 144 murders. The city hit 145 criminal homicides when a man was shot dead at a home near 16th and Gladstone in late December. Just hours before this latest deadly shooting, Police Chief Troy Riggs announced he was stepping down.
In an interview with CBS4, Hogsett asked the public to "put this in context," adding the public safety policies he and Chief Riggs implemented this year will make a difference in time.
"Because these types of statistics only come about over time, you're not going to be able in just one year's time suddenly you know and dramatically reverse the trend," he said.
Hogsett campaigned on making public safety a priority, but local Republicans are dissatisfied with the results and are calling him out. A statement from Michael McQuillen, Chairman of the Marion County Republican Party, reads:
"Indianapolis is better than this. Indianapolis can do better than this. Indianapolis deserves better than this.
"Mayor Joe Hogsett has presided over the deadliest year in our city's history. He ran as a tough-on-crime prosecutor. When he entered office, he declared the city in a 'public safety crisis.' He's had a year to lead, and he has not led. Citizens should demand answers and progress.
"He has no plan for our crumbling infrastructure, no plan for addressing structural budget deficits, and any plans he has had for public safety are not working. In fact, his own police chief resigned just yesterday.
"At the same time, we commend the men and women of the IMPD and all of our first responders for their heroism and public service during this difficult time. They deserve our unwavering support as a community.
"We encourage the Mayor to take a holistic approach, and focus on the root causes of crime."
Hogsett has his own opinions about what led up to the current situation.
"I can remember Mayor Ballard early in his term talking about how pleased he was that the number of homicides was in double digits, right? 98 homicides. And yet at the end of his term, we were up to 144. Which I think goes a long way at showing the people watching this broadcast that we have seen in context an exponential increase," he said. "We have hopefully stemmed that tide this year and in the next few years we'll see a decrease."
Of the 145 murders (criminal homicides) this year, only 80 have been cleared with either an arrest, warrant, or exceptionally cleared. That puts IMPD at around a 55% solve rate this year. A police spokesman said detectives are just digging into several murders that happened late in the year.

In the Japanese Buddhist tradition, this type of meditation is called "just sitting". And that's the practice: just sitting, still and upright, with no particular aim or intention.
This is a simple, human activity. No training is required. It is not a special technique.
In everyday life our attention is called out into the world; towards the things we want, away from the things we don't want, towards other people, towards the past and the future. We experience emotions and identify as these emotions. We want to change things in the world, getting and avoiding, in order to only have pleasant experiences.
When we sit in stillness somewhere with few outside distractions, attention is naturally drawn within. Now the sensations, thoughts and emotions are experienced as objects of perception. The locus of our self-identification undergoes a subtle but significant change.
This practice brings balance and clarity. In stillness, the energy of our lives naturally returns to the centre. This is not something we do so much as a natural balancing which we allow to happen. And in the process, we come to know who we really are.

Detectives investigating the death of 44-year-old Cy Cooper in Sheffield have charged a man with murder.
Paul Anthony Noel Cain, 23, of no fixed abode, will appear before Sheffield Magistrates' Court today (Saturday August 1) after police charged him last night.
Mr Cooper was pulled out of a property in Bluebell Close in the early hours of Wednesday July 29, following a fire at the property. He was later pronounced deceased at the scene.
The results of the post-mortem examination determined the cause of Mr Cooper's death was multiple injuries, none of which were related to the fire.
The fire is being treated as arson and a joint investigation with South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue is underway to establish the cause of the fire.
Three men and a woman, initially arrested on suspicion of murder, have been released from the investigation.

Not much posting from my side today, I've just chilled, watched movies and a late brunch at home, I think it's wonderful to do from time to time. Despite the lovely sunshine I didn't step out of the door before late and had a walk around Covent Garden. Wow, it was chilly outside, don't think I can hang in there much longer with bare legs.
Oh, yes, I got these shorts at Zara. The pattern is really difficult to capture on camera and the result can even make someone without ellipsis dizzy, so watch out!

SwimSwam welcomes reader submissions about all topics aquatic, and if it's well-written and well-thought, we might just post it under our "Shouts from the Stands" series. We don't necessarily endorse the content of the Shouts from the Stands posts, and the opinions remain those of their authors. If you have thoughts to share, please send [email protected]
This "Shouts from the Stands" submission comes from Samantha Weed:
Swimming is that friend you have been friends with for ages, but if you're around each other for too long you drive each other nuts.
Swimming is the redheaded stepchild of sports. Athletes love it with all their hearts, but unreasonably can't stand it at the same time. Spectators think it's cute every 4 years, but ignore it the rest.
Swimming is hard simply because you don't want to get into the pool. The sphincter-tightening feeling of that cold water is torturous.
Swimming is a girl's worst nightmare. Not because you don't want to be seen in a swimsuit, but because you don't want to get your hair wet. It's finally cooperating with you today!
Swimming is a tanning bed on steroids when you're outside. The tan. is. worth it.
Swimming is religion. Meditation, dedication, following, and lots and lots of prayers.
Swimming at masters swimming for the first time since I had my second baby was great. I didn't do terribly, but that's mostly because I went in with no expectations. I wasn't planning on being great and because of it I surprised myself.
There's something to that–having no expectations. As goal-oriented people we push goals on ourselves expecting ourselves to accomplish those goals and we–especially I–focus on those goals unrelentingly and maddeningly until we lose sight of what we came for. Accomplishing the goal–or lack thereof–becomes the only way of determining success.
Today I had no expectations. I did pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
As I got out of the pool, an older teammate asked me if I am going to stick it out this time. He said he's noticed I've been coming and going for some time within the past year. I made a joke about finally being not pregnant–a diversion of my real reason–and mentioned my love-hate relationship with that hole in the ground you call a pool.
He laughed and told me that it took him 20 years to get back into swimming and he wishes it hadn't. He said he hated swimming after he finished swimming in college. He said his own children hated swimming when they finished swimming in college. He coached for a while, and eventually gave it a try again. It's a natural process.
He goes every day.
He's older than my parents.
He's a lot faster than me.
As we finished talking he told me the only way he gets himself to come every day is that he tells himself he doesn't have to go hard or go fast. Nothing says you have to.
No expectations.
About Samantha Weed

"Many of my clients are small business or in the start-up phase, so I get asked a lot about what I do for different areas of my business. I get asked about my employees and the process I went through hiring them. When they find out the person who answers my line is not an employee, they want to know more about your services."
K.F. – Digital Marketing Agency
"Before the service we had 1 or 2 after hours messages left on our machine in over a year! I would say we've seen about a 300% increase in captured sales calls that probably would have hung up and perhaps never tried us again if we didn't have a live and professional person picking up the phone when it rang."
K. P. – Engineering Company
"Your organization is the best. You have handled my operation which no one else would do without any problems and little training."
B.D. – Internet Service Provider
"We love it. The response from the customers has been great. I am sure we have ended up with some new sales because of the live operator instead of voice mail."
C.R. – Generator Sales & Service
"They make my day, every day. Every time I come in to take them off service I'm thrilled at how friendly they are and impressed because they are very efficient."
D.M. – Property Management Company
"One of the best things about this company is the relationship they build from the start—they work at being a partner with us. They do their job well and they are courteous—not just to the doctors, to every member of our staff. Unlike other answering services we've used in the past, each and every call taker tries their best to handle the call—they aren't interested in just turfing it (getting it off their plate)."
D.T. – Neurologist Office
"I have recently switched from a voice mail system to Answering Service for responses to my real estate ads. The difference has been noticeable. I have seen a better response rate, and the messages are always complete and understandable. I expect to expand my use of the answering service for other areas of my business so that I can see similar results."
F.M. – Real Estate Office
"Over the last twenty-five years I have used several answering services and I can categorically say that yours is the best! I have never had any complaints from patients who call and speak to you sympathetic operators."
J.L. – Family Practice
"It has been an excellent experience working with your staff. They have been responsive to any concerns and requests for changes in protocol that I have brought up. This is a new experience for us and I was concerned about our phones being covered by a service, but my concerns are unwarranted."
J.E. – Crisis Hot-Line
"Everything has been great. We are getting the exact message that we are looking for in a timely manner."
J.H. – Packaging/Distribution Co. (Employee Absence Line)
"Courteous. Complete. Quick. Responsive. These are the words I would use to describe the service which the Chapter receives from the answering service each night when we roll our phone lines to them. Our relationship goes back several years and we anticipate many more to come."
S.M. – Red Cross Chapter
"You have exceeded your promises and our expectations. You have far surpassed the performance of our previous answering services. It is so nice to get the daily log and see that all the messages were handled quickly and properly. We couldn't be more pleased."
W.C. – Public Housing Authority

Want to hit the monitor screen badly because of the frequent 'Activate Windows' message whenever you turn on the computer? Please calm down as there is a way to resolve the tension between you and the system.
This article brings you ways with which, you can safely bid adieu to the annoying notification that you get whenever you turn on the PC or laptop. Well, it's something to do with the Windows activation.
The main purpose that Microsoft required you to activate the operating system(OS) i.e. Windows is to validate you are using the genuine copy of their software. In other words, you are purchasing a legit copy of Windows from either online or local IT stores.
There are several methods that you can used to solve your activation problems. Following section will guide you on how to activate Windows 8 successfully. In hurry, you also can download the kmspico here.
Note: Please jot down the Windows 8 Product Keys located at the back of the DVD case for some of the following methods to work.
The 3 Ways to Activate Windows 8/8.1
Method 1: When the OS prompts to activate Windows
- When you get an irritating message to activate windows, you would rather click it to make it stop. Yes, that's what you have to do.
- Type in the Product ID that you have got from Windows and click on 'next'. It verifies the product ID.
- You're done! Windows can't pester you anymore.
Method 2: When it does not prompt
- Click on the start button at the bottom left corner of your screen. Oh wait! Windows 8 changed that. The only thing that worked properly. Damn!
- Anyway, somehow find out the 'My Computer' icon on the desktop and right click on that and select properties or make it easier by pressing the Windows key and pause together.
- You will get a dialogue box that shows on what hardware you run your OS. You might know, but it will still show you as it wants to tell you how knowledgeable it is.
- You can find a Windows Activation section, in which you will know whether you have to activate your PC. But, since you searched for this article because of the frustrating message, it should be showing you 'Activate now'.
- Select that and enter your product ID in the field that is empty and click on 'Next'
- It may search the internet to verify the magic code that you have filled up and a dialogue will appear.
- Voila! You are done. It will say 'Windows activated. Please enjoy the added benefits'. What it means ' Thank you, I will not annoy you anymore'.
Finally, it's not about just turning the message off, its about activating your Windows 8 permanently so that you may never have to duel with the operating system again.
Method 3: Using Windows 8 Activator
If you want to reap all the benefits of the Operating system, you need to activate Windows 8. Over the years, many pirates have tried to hack into the program to bypass the activation activity by using the Windows 8 activator. But the big gun has struck back with several updates making sure that users buy the software. So, if you are using the third-party activators like KMSAuto Lite or Microsoft toolkit to activate the OS, make sure the Windows Update feature was turn off.
Yet, those activator or loader with full determination have come up with a way to crack the program with their high skill set. Here are some ways to bypass the activation. But before that, it's better for you to know how the activation works!
How the Windows Activation Works?
The pre-installed copy of the Windows couples the product ID @ serial numbers along with a sensitive information present in the BIOS system that is unique to a particular OEM. If the encrypted information about the licensing key matches with the hidden information in the SLIC table present in the BIOS system, then the OS gives you a free path to walk. Else it strikes you down with errors, annoying rants about activation, and disclaimer messages till you activate it.
Breaking the Pathway with the Activator!!
If you are somehow able to break down the connection between the encrypted message and the SLIC table in the BIOS, you can trick the OS into making it believe that you are actually using an activated version.
There are several tools i.e. activators available that cut down the communication and generate several random Product ID's to the software and make the 'non-genuine' watermark go away. For several computers that do not have a SLIC table,the tool creates an alternate boot loader based on GRUB and install the emulation code there to fool the software into thinking that the OS you have installed is a legitimate one.
Activating Windows 8 permanently is easy if you purchase a genuine copy of the software. But in the market, there are several tools or activators that you can freely download from the Internet and activate the OS successfully. But sometime the software may harm your computer as it may contain malware and you are advice to buy a genuine copy of OS if you can afford.
Please make sure that you need to activate the Windows before the activation deadline finishes (normally 30-day from the date you install) because once the OS locks the user out of the system, it's very hard to get back in.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) recently issued a decision on an appeal lodged by the club Al Kuwait Sporting Club, fully confirming a previous decision from the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC). This decision by CAS supports FIFA's aim of safeguarding the principle of maintenance of contractual stability between professional football players and clubs.
The CAS confirmed on 30 December 2008 that Al Kuwait SC shall pay compensation for breach of contract in the amount of $120,000 to the Estonian player Vjatseslav Zahovaiko, and that Al Kuwait SC shall be banned from registering new players, either nationally or internationally, for the two registration periods following the notification of the decision of the CAS.
In its decision of 15 February 2008, the DRC had determined that Al Kuwait SC had breached the employment contract with the player Vjatseslav Zahovaiko. The DRC had issued the same verdict, which has now been confirmed by CAS.
During the proceedings before the DRC and the CAS, Al Kuwait SC denied being responsible for the early termination of the employment contract and declared that it legally terminated the employment contract in consequence to negative results of a medical test that was carried out after the conclusion of the respective employment contract. This argument was turned down by both the DRC and the CAS in view of art. 18 par. 4 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.

So last Friday, I dropped a pan on my toe. After a couple of days it looked, as someone said, as if it was about to fall off. Happily it is healing well, and I can wear shoes again.
Today, I opened the car door into my forehead. I have gotten in and out of this car countless times without incident. I'm really not sure what happened. Anyway, there was a temporary dent in my forehead which has been replaced by a puffy place. I'm hoping for a really nasty bruise.
A few moments ago, I was slicing bread and got my finger instead. Fairly badly, though not badly enough for an ER visit.
So if anyone knows where I can find a safety bubble, I think I probably need one. Or I could just stay in bed on Fridays.

Readings from Ephesians. Sort of.
Paul has a habit of doing his Bible reading for the day while he's giving the baby a bottle, and he reads aloud. He also works in statements that pertain to what's going on with the feeding.
So I'll be sitting here typing and hearing things like, "And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grab your bottle and throw it down. What was that about?" and then later, "...until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature ... Then we will no longer be infants, crying and filling our pants."
It's pretty funny stuff.

I Want To Do It Myself!
So last night I was running late (yeah, yeah) and I needed to feed the baby, but I also needed to get dressed. I decided to see if he could hold a bottle well yet. Laid him down on the floor and let him try, and the little booger went to town.
Excuse the quality. It's a cell phone picture that I took to send to Paul.
This morning, he woke up and wanted a bottle, but he did NOT want me to hold it for him. He wanted to hold it himself. Turns out he did the same thing for Paul early this morning.
What have I done?

Splish Splash, Baby
That boy, he does love a bath. Here he is in The Big Tub with mama.
And here he is by himself (not by himself, exactly, but he was the only one that was actually in the water), swimming after his bath. We're not sure what exactly is so much fun, but we're glad he enjoys it!

I think this is an excellent question that needs to be addressed by the WCAG working group; I think it's vitally important that we have some testable metrics not only to whether or not our guidelines are being met, but also to what degree that improves (or doesn't improve) access by our core audiences. If Nielsen's work teaches us nothing else, it should teach us that standard empirical methods of research and study can be applied to accessibility and it's not just pie-in-the-sky hopes and personal anecdotes.

Continuing. (In basic pattern, I guess it goes without saying that a basic pattern is a *finite* set of triple pattens?) -------------- ""Definition: Substitution Substitution is a function from a subset of the set of variables, V, the domain of the substitution, dom(S), to the set of RDF terms, T. We write S(v) for the substitution of variable.""" Proposed revision """**A** substitution is a relation from a subset of V, its domain,to RDF-T. We write dom(S) for the domain of a substitution. We write S(v) for the substitution of **a** variable.""" (The articles definitey need to get in there.) (If the editors want to keep "the set of variables V" etc. for clarity, that's fine. But it definitely should be either T or RDF-T everywhere.) (I have a worry about the S(v) notation, but will take it up below.) -------------- """Definition: Restriction If X is a subset of dom(S) and dom(S')=X and S'(v) = S(v) for all v in X then S' is the restriction of S to X, written S|X.""" First, where are restrictions used? I see the word used in constraints but it doesn't seem to be doing the same thing (i.e., there it is a restriction on the *ranges*, not of the domain of a substitution). Second, the definitoin and notation are confusing. Esp. if unused :) Here's a revision: "The substitution R is a restriction of S if dom(R) is a subset of dom(S) and for all v in dom(R), R(v) = S(v). R is known as the restriction of S to dom(R), and written rest(S, dom(R))." Ok, the recursion on dom(R) is a bit ugly, but I'm unclear why we need the restriction of Foo *to* Bar in the first place. -------------- """ Definition: Pattern Instance If S is a substitution then the result of replacing any v in a basic pattern P by S(v) is a pattern instance of P, written S(P).""" So, pattern instances don't have to replace all their query variables? In other words, not all pattern instances are rdf graphs, but some are themselves patterns? Where are pattern instances used? BTW, I find having S(v) and S(P) mean different things *frightfully* confusing. Also, S(P) isn't even a function according to the above definition, since, given that S is ?x = ex:foo ?y = ex:bar and a basic pattern (?x ex:baz ?y) S(P) can be (ex:foo ex:baz ?y) and (?x ex:baz ex:bar) and (ex:foo ex:baz ex:bar). Is that 'any' up there supposed to be an 'every'? (Or read with the force of an 'every', as in 'any variable in P is replaced by S(that variable)'? I asked someone else how they read it and they read it the same as me. (Note, I may have biased the reading.) -------------- """Definition: Pattern Solution A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any substitution S such that S(GP) is a subgraph of G.""" Undefined (and unlinked), Graph Pattern, graph, and subgraph. Note that the last two are defined: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#graphdefs and are the same *assuming* that S(P) goes to graphs, not basic patterns. Which I guess it must or this all makes no sense :) -------------- I'm very unclear how bnodes play out. It seems to me that any query with a blank node cannot have a match. On the one hand: "Blank Nodes and Queries A blank node can appear in a SPARQL query patterns. It behaves as a variable, although it can not be named in the query result form, such as SELECT." But it can never appear in a substition (given the definition of substitution and the disjointness of V from RDF-T). I presume that bnodes in query patterns are distinct from bnodes in the queried graph, regardless of their lexical form, thus any Graph Pattern (GP) with bnodes will lack any pattern solutions, since every S(GP) will fail to be a subgraph of any other graph (at least, given the RDF Semantics and the obvious meaning of subgraph). One could get around this by saying: """A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any substitution S such that S(GP) is simply entailed by G.""" Or if one is adverse to simple entailment, one could say: """A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any substitution S such that there is a subgraph of G which is an RDF-semantics-instance-of S(GP).""" One could also expand the definition of Substitution, or of variables. We've already liberalized the subject position, why not liberalize the predicate position as well? (Ok, I actually don't really want predicate variables to be bnodes because I want to generate a OWL Direct model theoretic compatible semantics, in which predicate variables are, in fact, metalinguistic. But it is a solution. I don't think it'd be hard to extend the RDF model theory to handle this extension.) (Bedtime!) Cheers, Bijan.Received on Tuesday, 5 April 2005 03:38:20 UTC

Dual price systems
They key point here is information. Joseph Stiglitz already explained this in the case of a discriminating monopolist in 1977, he can charge different prices to different customers based on their characteristics by provided slightly different goods. One example would be the pricing of airline seats, where the same seat may have a different price depending on where, when and how it is bought. One particular way discrimination may happen is with the heterogoneity of information in the clientele. Who has not paid much more than usual (as measured by local customs) for a good while visiting a foreign country? Taxi drivers are particularly good at discriminating foreigners from locals.
Taking the taxi example, imagine a city where the taxi market is completely unregulated: free entry, market price. You are an uninformed customer dropped into this city and need a cab. Once in the cab, you are facing a monopolist, who quotes a price. You have no way of determining where the price is fair or usual. You will pay much more than the locals. Only government regulation would make this discrimination disappear.
In Cuba, the government is not regulating against this type of discrimination because it is benefiting from it: those discriminated against are foreigners, and the government is the monopolist. But a free market would probably lead to a similar price discrimination.
PS: In silly news, Ireland just guaranteed itself again a last rank finish at the Eurovision Song Contest.

You can get as informed as you want--and many do, especially when going abroad. With regulation and such, there's no longer any choice.
Not to mention the embarassing stylized fact that governmental behavior is not about efficiency. :-)
I often run into such whimsical, treatments of communist states, uh I mean prison camps. They're usually from people from the West.

Think about what the government is maximizing here. Something that certainly does not include the welfare of foreigners. The standard efficiency argument does not apply here.

"But a free market would probably lead to a similar price discrimination."
And does. Dual pricing is pretty much a feature of any tourist based economy. It doesn't always result in dual currencies, but often does, there being very few tourist destinations anywhere where you can't use dollars to pay multiples of what locals pay for various goods and services, thus explaining the popularity of such guidebooks as Europe on So Much a Day. The main difference I see is that countries like the old Soviet Union and China and Cuba today can attempt to maintain institutional control by limiting currency conversion. Operationally this acts as a tourism tax. But for the most part tourist markets operate just as you would expect when customers not only are operating at a distinct disadvantage in information but may well be desensitized to pricing to start with. (The 'hey we are on vacation!' effect kicking in.)

Mumbai,Urvi Mahajani: Just like his Friday movie releases bringing him luck, the Friday hearing in the Bombay high court too brought smile on Bollywood actor Salman Khan's face as the court not only suspended his five-year sentence but also granted him regular bail till his appeal is decided.
Justice Abhay Thipsay suspended the five-year rigorous imprisonment awarded by the trial court in the 2002 hit-and-run case while admitting his appeal against the conviction and granted him bail till the decision in his appeal.
Though the court proceedings were to begin at 11 am only, mediapersons and lawyers had crowded the court room by 10 am itself, anxious to know whether it would be bail or jail for the superstar. At one point, the police had to close the doors of the courtroom to ensure that the proceedings, once it begin, is not disturbed.
As soon as the judge took his chair on the dais, there was a pin-drop silence. However, during the proceedings there were some disturbances within the crowd for elbow space. The judge even reprimanded a journalist for trying to record the court proceedings.
The proceedings went on till 12.45 pm, with a packed courtroom hanging on to every word argued by the defence and prosecution counsels.
After granting of bail, justice Abhay Thipsay asked the actor to furnish fresh bail of Rs 30,000 before the sessions judge as the two-day bail granted on May 6 expired on Friday.
The HC also expedited the hearing in his appeal and kept it for hearing on June 15.
The court observed that it was no extra-ordinary case, and the appellant's (Khan's) status should not be a reason for him to be denied bail.
"This is not a case where I should keep him in jail till his appeal is heard and decided. Why his right should suffer when his appeal is admitted and kept pending? In many cases people have suffered and spent their entire prison term only to be acquitted later by the High Court," observed justice Thipsay.
The judge said in normal practice, while admitting appeal wherein the sentence is up to seven years of imprisonment, the sentence of the convict is kept under suspension.
"It is nobody's case that the appellant (Khan) is likely to abscond during the pendency of the case. There are a number of arguable points raised about whether or not Khan was driving the car, which need to be considered," observed justice Thipsay.
Khan's counsels – Amit Desai and Shrikant Shivade – had sought that the actor's sentence be suspended and he be granted regular bail till his appeal was decided.
The defence had claimed that there were four persons in the car and that Khan was not at the wheel, whereas the prosecution claimed that Khan was driving the car. Also, the defence claimed that the accident occurred as the tyre of the car burst, and that there were other loopholes in the prosecution case, as it failed to examine the other eye-witness, Khan's friend Kamaal Khan, who was also in the car on the fateful night.
Desai read out evidence of four witnesses, including the investigating officer, who had said there were four persons in the vehicle. Desai also argued that prosecution's sole eyewitness Ravindra Patil (Khan's then police bodyguard) was an "unwilling witness" and he was "forced" to give his evidence about Khan driving the car.
In an interview to a tabloid, a day after the accident, Patil had said there were four persons in the car, Desai pointed out. However, during the trial, he contradicted himself by saying there were only three persons.
However, public prosecutors Sandeep Shinde and Pradeep Gharat opposed the suspension of the sentence saying that it was not a fit case as Khan was convicted under section 304 (II) of the Indian Penal Code which is culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Justice Thipsay asked the prosecution as to why was Khan's case different and that his sentence shouldn't be suspended. "Why he (Khan) should be made to suffer if the appeal was admitted? Things would be different if he had been in custody during the trial. Status quo, as far as possible, should be maintained."
Shinde countered that the exceptional circumstance was that Khan had the absolute knowledge of the fact that his act (of driving rashly under the influence of alcohol) could kill people. "He had the knowledge. Also there was high alcohol content in his blood when he was arrested. His alcohol level was 0.65 whereas the normal level is 0.30," said Shinde.
Shinde justified the prosecution not examining Kamaal Khan saying that he was a UK national and was not available during the trial.
He even refuted the defence claim that four persons were travelling in the vehicle. Shinde said the theory of Ashok Singh being at the wheel was introduced at the fag end of the trial when Khan made a statement under section 313 of CrPC and termed it as an "afterthought".
The judge even observed that it would have to go into the application of section 304(II) of the IPC which is culpable homicide not amounting to murder. "The question is whether it should be 304(II) or 304(A) [which is causing death by negligence]. If convicted under 304(A), he would not have been awarded five years," remarked justice Thipsay.
The judge said Khan's passport will remain with the investigating agency, and that he will have to take permission from the HC whenever he require to travel outside the country for shoot.

In collaboration with the Desert X Art Festival, 16 artist's have installed striking artworks across the arid landscape of the Coachella Valley just outside of Palm Springs. American artist Doug Aitken's top to bottom mirrored house would have to be our favourite.
The Mirage sculpture is modelled on a ranch-style suburban American house but is composed of 100% mirrored surfaces reflecting the surroundings and camouflaging the structure.
Aitken reconfigured the idea of the suburban home by removing its inhabitants and their possessions. He has done away with the doors and windows so the structure is not private or secure. Inside, the reflective surfaces create a kaleidoscopic effect intended to evoke confusion rather than comfort.
"Mirage distills the recognisable and repetitious suburban home into the essence of its lines, reflecting and disappearing into the vast western landscape," - Doug Aitken
Desert X opened 25 February 2017 and runs until 30 April 2017
Aitken's Mirage will remain in place until 31 October 2017

A Admonitory Tale – Part I
Once upon a time, there was a highly successful professional met with an accident and he died. He met St. Peter at heavenly gate. St. Peter express that, we are fortunate to have highly successful professional making this far, and we are still not sure this is where you belong. He decided to provide a day outing at Hell and Heaven. The successful professional with pride says, I think I'd prefer to stay in Heaven. St. Peter diplomatically says, 'Rules are rules and management is always right'.
The doors of hell open and professional sees a beautiful lawn, club and there to greet him were his business associates, and friends all wearing glitter party wear and cheering for their leader. They talked about old times, played, danced, dinned with best of cuisines. The devil greeted with smile and showed the country side. The professional was overwhelmed and joyful throughout the day. It was time for Heaven, everyone shook his hand and looked forward to meet again.
Now it was the time to spend a day in a Heaven for the professional. The professional lounged on clouds, caught a harp concert, sang in choir with angels. He had a great time before he knew it, his day is over.
St. Peter was at the gate to discuss with the successful professional about the decision. The professional paused, and then replied with polished jargons 'I really appreciate you for giving me an opportunity to being part of hell and heaven. I would be thankful to you before I could have taken hasty decision. You know, Heaven is really great and I can't forget that wonderful day being with angels and God. But, I think I had a better time in hell.
This time, as the successful man entered hell, he found himself in a desolate waste-land filled with filth and garbage. His business associates dressed shabby, picking garbage and putting in sacks. The devil came up to him and put his arm around him. The successful man was shocked and devoid of emotion. Devil says 'Yesterday, we were recruiting you'. Today you are employee. Yesterday was all just an illusion.
This is the way I see much of the hiring process. What one see is rarely what one will get. My brother was working for a well known car dealer. The dealership had promised him the use of every new car. But a salesman must still sell seventeen cars a month to keep his job. A line came to my mind during his narration – 'All that glitters may not be gold'.
Why do we say so? We counsel many students and working professionals on issues with career. We work closely to identify ones strengths, weakness and explore opportunities by looking into a person and see what individual holds inside to excel.
I'm sure many would be thinking – What has this got to do with business?
I would say everything. The secret in business is people not only technology, ideas and money itself. A group of passionate people. The hiring process can be compared to marriage. There's the courtship (the recruitment), the proposal (the offer), and the marriage (the job itself), which tends to change after the honeymoon is over. It is just like the story told above.
One has to discover during job search or interview process, otherwise oneself is missing something. A win-win game is clearly seen. You may be a cricket player predicting your opponent's next move is a challenge. The challenge is n-fold for different levels of hiring -
- One has to get a clarity about the company.
- One has to convey to recruiter, 'I'm the best and brightest' among all.
I shall take you through series on hiring process stages – A complete game plan. Are you prepared to play this game – On, Set and Go !

Gus Lobel is one of the most formidable baseball talent scouts around, however his age starts to fail him in his career as his eyesight deteriorates and he is unable to focus properly on the Atlanta Braves games he goes to watch. Worried about his health and career, his long-time boss and good friend enlists Lobel's daughter to accompany her father on what is to be the last talent scouting trip of his career.

On the way, Mickey meets Gus's friend Johnny Flanagan; a former baseball player and aspiring talent scout who looks up to Gus and takes an interest in the beautiful Mickey. Much is to be discovered for everyone on this journey as it becomes less about baseball and more about truth, love and family.

How the West, or At Least New Mexico is Won
This is the best election law, ever. From New Mexico:
The Chaves County Clerk says the county commission race between Eloy Ortega and James Duffy ended with both men getting 1,004 votes. State law says the tie must be broken by a game of chance between the candidates. Clerk Rhoda Coakley said Thursday, "They'll have to either flip a coin, draw straws or cut the cards. But I suggested they maybe play a game of 5 card stud and whoever had the best hand would win."

Dear BBC,
Why oh why BBC, must you continue to use proprietary formats for audio on your website? Please would you switch to an open format such as Ogg / Vorbis without delay.
With an open audio format, anyone can write the software to listen to it, giving your listeners the maximum freedom. Proprietary formats are often opaque and encumbered with patent / copyright restrictions and can tie users in to particular companies.
So come on BBC, unshackle your brilliant content!
Yours expectantly,
Tony Locke
I'll let you know their reaction...
