I'm getting some new headshots done today by the talented Meg Allen, with the aim of reflecting me as a little bit more west coast and a little more joyous.
All the recent headshots of me, while technically beautiful, like this one by Kristy Boyce, which is one of the most gorgeous shots of me I've seen, have me looking so … miserable. The agony just seeps through and it's depressing. I can't use it for much. "I don't mind earnest, or stern, or serious—I play all of those things a lot, and it kind of goes along with the bad-ass-top thing I am portraying," I wrote to Meg this morning. "But these just look … sad."
I keep thinking about this head shot of Sherman Alexie's from a few (10?) years back—he's open mouth laughing and it's gorgeous. I remember being captivated by it when it was on the back of his book Ten Little Indians, and thinking how it was so unconventional, and also had so much deep joy.
I don't know if I can occupy some joy like that, but I'd love to try for some levity and some (deep dark, mischievous, shadowy, BDSM-style) playfulness, at least.
So that's what's on the agenda for today.
We were together four years, and had sex six times in the last two years. Six times! I counted! I was going crazy, tearing my hair out with desire and want, getting off in secret and feeling guilty, feeling depressed and anxious and unmotivated. I wasn't writing. I couldn't write anything without writing I want out of this relationship but I wasn't ready to face that. I couldn't get sex off my mind. So I decided that anytime I wanted to have sex, I would either go to the gym, or I would write erotica.
… So of course I wrote a lot of erotica (and didn't really go to the gym). At first, the writings were all what I wished we'd done, what I was daydreaming about.
"You did this little twist with your hips this morning that made me want to press you to the wall, hard, and take you right then." … "Mouth open eyes closed, fingers pinching your nipples, working every lingering inch of me inside you. It didn't really happen this way but it could have." … "I can't even hold a conversation with you anymore because every word in my mouth is clouded with why are we not kissing right now?"
I started writing things, sentences, syntax that I actually kind of liked. And as I started breaking through, I started discovering what was inside the block: a deep unknowing—on both of our parts.
I was struggling to become butch, but I was also struggling to become myself.
So I did what I knew to do with writing I kind of liked and was afraid to own: I put it online. I wanted to study myself, more than anything else: to study sexualities, genders, and relationships. To make a graduate study of these things, to read all the books and read all the blogs and listen to all the podcasts and ask all the facilitators I could find what their best philosophies are for these tricky topics. It became a sanctuary, a writing prompt every day, a practice, a deepening of what I knew about myself and how to be me in the world.
It has been a personal study. This place has been the place where I've become me.
Of course, my college girlfriend (here known as "The Ex") and I broke up. When I started writing and telling the truth to myself again, I couldn't stay. It was a mess. I didn't know how to leave. I didn't know that not having good sex in a monogamous relationship was enough of a reason to leave, but I now do believe it is. I fell in love, hard, and got burned. I started healing, and grieving. I dated and explored and studied, I wrote and wrote, I started teaching. I fell in love again. There's a lot more to all of those stories, but you can mostly read those for yourselves in the archives.Somewhere along there, I started asking myself: "Now that I got everyone's attention, what do I have to say?"
I've been puzzling through that, trying desperately to make a living to enable me to keep doing my work these past few years, which is part of why you haven't heard as much from me. I've been trying to come into integrity, into integration, bringing who I am offline together with the vision of myself I came to know through words. I've been struggling to create myself a life I can settle into, one that is sustainable, that can last, that can feed me and carry me into the work that I know I have to do in the world.
I haven't figured that out entirely, yet, but I am getting closer. My life has been radically restructured in the past year, and I need some retreat and some quiet and some inner work so I can feel into what the new mission of my work is here beyond my own personal liberation. Telling my own story has been and will continue to be an important part of it, but there is more to it than that. I seek structure and vision in a bigger way, and I don't quite know what that means yet, but I can feel that I've been moving steadily toward it.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for all of your comments and support. Thank you for your emails (even when I don't have time to write back as thoroughly as I'd like). Thank you for coming to my workshops and buying my books. Thank you.
I love my job.
Some of the other anniversary posts:
- Sixth Anniversary
- Fifth Anniversary
- Fourth Anniversary
- Third Anniversary
- Second Anniversary
- Bed Death, Standard Variety: the post that started it all.
(The anniversary of Sugarbutch starting was Monday, April 29th, but that was my first day after a long 6-day training and the day before I left for a two-day trip to Madison, Wisconsin, so it took me a few days to get to it. Now I'm hitting "publish" from an airplane 30,000 feet up, zooming back to the Bay Area. We live in the future.)
I have so much to tell you about. My arrival in California, sunshine, really good kale and well all of the vegetables here really, my feelings and grief, surviving heartbreak, what it's like to have skipped the very end of winter and the very beginning of spring and moved on to full-on blooming, how the fog rolls down the San Francisco hills, that I'm staying at a place without indoor plumbing and electricity and cell service and wifi, how I really like staying at a place that relies on candles and one small solar outlet to charge my cell phone, how I am grateful to be staying at a place with chickens and mud and daffodils and raccoons that stole my cereal last night but how much I marvel and am grateful for the two warm showers I've taken this week, how forget-me-not flowers grow everywhere here, how easy it is to keep falling in love, how I've been getting re-focused on work, how I recorded the first audio file that may become a podcast that might be called Butt Buddies with my good friend Amy yesterday, how many events I have coming up in the near future including University of Tennessee Sex Week (can't believe I haven't written a press release about that yet) and UW Madison and judging at IMsL and another tantra training and a Lambda Literary Award reading of Cheryl's book since it's a finalist and the IMsL Bawdy Storytelling and maybe that's about it.
But I don't have time to write a big feelings post about everything, so meanwhile I have a few small things to share.
I was at Smith College in Northampton recently and they—students, faculty, alumni, and community supporters—are fighting for trans inclusion. The group Queers & Allies (Q&A) has started a petition, and I encourage you to read about what's going on and sign it.
Also, if you are in or near Vancouver, BC, there is an amazing exhibit coming up. SD Holman has been collecting a series of butch portraits—she took my photo at the BUTCH Voices Portland regional conference in 2010—and now, her photos are displayed on Vancouver bus stops everywhere with the caption, BUTCH: Not like the other girls. She's also got an exhibit of these portraits April 9 to 25. Here's an article and more information about that.
Wish I could be there, but April is pretty damn busy in my world. I'll be all over the country and working a lot. I'm really excited to keep refocusing on work and writing, and I have so many ideas and things in store for Sugarbutch.
So. Yeah.
I'm reading a lot. Light things, but well-written things, because I need something to completely occupy my mind that I don't have to really think about. I'm journaling most days, but not writing anything worth reading, just a lot of purging. Emotional vomit. Navel-gazing, which I used to sometimes think was a good thing, self-insight, self-reflection, but now seems trite and self-indulgent. I'm waking up and most of the time going to sleep. I'm staying up late and then not being able to wake early. I'm waking early and not being able to get back to sleep. I'm reading reading reading on the subway at the cafe on my breaks when I can't sleep anytime I need to try to stop thinking all the thoughts that are circling circling circling like predators. Like hawks. Like something big and heavy that you see from far away and it doesn't look that bad but when they get close your pores start to shake. You start sweating and your pupils dilate. Those kinds of thoughts are still stalking me. All the things I did wrong. All the ways I have doomed myself. All the things that I could've changed didn't change am never going to be able to change. Reminding myself that I am not doomed. Telling myself over and over again that I did the best I could we did the best we could no one is at fault no one is at fault. Sometimes I even believe that. Loss happens. Errors of judgment happen. Perfect storms of chaos happen, all the best movies know how if any one factor in the plot would have slipped out of place, it wouldn't have happened that way, but that the universe conspired somehow to shatter that rain of misunderstandings and missed connections and opportunities down upon our heads. But I try to remember that sometimes all of creation is conspiring to shower us with blessings too. Could that be true? Could I really believe that people are fundamentally good, at the core? It's what I say I believe, and most of the time that belief is not tested. This is when I need faith. Hope.
Hope is when you look out the window and you go, 'It doesn't look good at all, but I'm going to go beyond what I see to give people visions of what could be.' —Anna Deavere Smith
I don't think I can tell the truth yet, because I don't yet think I know what the truth is. There's not just one capital-T Truth anyway. There are many truths. My truths and your truths and our truths are perhaps three different truths. I think I'm done believing in objectivity. I don't think it's possible. I distrust people who start sentences with, "Objectively speaking …" How can anyone see objectively? Sometimes I can squint and look at things sideways and sometimes, just sometimes, I can take myself out of the way of the experience for a glance, a frame, a whisper of smoke. But usually only long enough to get one thought, one perspective, not long enough to really grasp the three-sixy view.
I don't know what happens next. I know I keep trying. I know I keep writing and striving and crying on my sister's couch in the mornings. I know I stare at the tree's brittle branches scraping against this window in the wind and wondering which will break off and which will make it to bud and which buds will pop open to that baby green spring. Oh right, it's springtime now, isn't it. When things long dormant start to wake. When things waiting waiting for this freeze to thaw start to tentatively uncurl and test the air.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. —Anais Nin
It's such a risk. Everything is, from this cup of coffee to that service I just cancelled to the appointment I made for next week. No one really knows if next week will exist, but now that this week is here, we proved last week that next week existed, and I am trusting that'll keep happening, until it doesn't. That's all I can do, anyway. I think I have some more trust in me, though it's thin. I've been paving the roof of my mouth with it for months. It leaves a coat all sticky like too too sweet honey. Makes me crave mouthwash, some salt water gargle to cut the aversion of the over-sweet. Some crumbs of sourdough bread. Good thing I'm heading west, back to the salt water where the sun sets over the ocean instead of over the land. Somehow, it has always seemed more correct. And in the absence of light, I'll look east.
Power in the silence. Power in the sound of a lover's name.
Book notes: Excerpt from Carrie's Story, when her dominant says he's going to sell her at a slave auction. Cleis calls Carrie the "thinking readers' submissive." Cecilia Tan about the Slow Surrender series: "I would call it the "BDSM billionaire" genre, also known as BDSM romance, also known as "If you liked 50 Shades of Grey, you might like this book." Buy them through my Amazon store and you'll toss some pennies my way—see the store for more of my erotica recommendations, too.
When Kristen & I were in Toronto for the Unholy Harvest kink conference in October, we had a photo shoot with Kristy Boyce who is doing a project called What Dyke Looks Like. She's a professional who had a vision, and Kristen and I were at her apartment and out in an alley in many different settings in front of many different backdrops with all kinds of light and flashes and fancy things to help her complete her vision. We had a blast.
These are just a few of the shots—there are many, many more and I'm excited to show you even more. Kristen looked so hot and there are so many of her in lingerie and a bomber jacket and looking badass and epic.
All this is to say, Kristy is coming to New York City! She's shooting folks here this week, 8-15 January, and is specifically in need of subjects who are dyke-identified. If you might want to have your photo taken, contact her directly to make an appointment: email@example.com.

Brian Whiston, superintendent of Dearborn public schools, announces a cross country meet dedicated to Robert Cipriano, the business manager at Edsel Ford High School, in Dearborn Mich., May, 23, 2012. / Andre J. Jackson/ Detroit Free Press
Robert Cipriano, 52, was killed in an April 16 attack at the family home in Farmington Hills. His son faces charges.
Dearborn Superintendent Brian Whiston keeps expecting Robert Cipriano to walk around the corner and come into his office.
Eddie Fakhoury, executive director of the Dearborn Education Foundation, keeps expecting to see Cipriano on the morning run he routinely took before starting work.
At a press conference this morning, in which district officials announced plans to honor Cipriano, the business services director for the district who was killed last month in a baseball bat attack, it was clear many in the district are still struggling to come to terms with Ciprianos death.
It still doesnt seem real to me, Whiston said.
Cipriano was killed April 16 in an attack in his Farmington Hills home that also critically injured his wife, Rose, and teenage son Salvatore. Two other children were uninjured. Police have charged his older son, Tucker Cipriano, 19, and Mitchell Young, 20, in the attack.
Several efforts to honor Ciprianos memory were announced, including:
• An annual cross country meet for hundreds of students in grades 4-8, the first of which will be held Oct. 19. Students will begin training for the Robert Cipriano Memorial Cross-Country Meet at the beginning of the school year through physical education classes and running clubs.
• The creation of the Robert Cipriano Memorial Scholarship, a $500 award that will be awarded to a student from each of the districts high schools who has participated in track, cross country or baseball.
• The district will sell rose-colored bracelets with the words Just Keep Loving People. The color of the bracelets honors Rose Cipriano and the words are a reflection of words spoken by uninjured son Tanner Cipriano, during his fathers funeral. Proceeds will help fundraising efforts for the memorials. The bracelets are available in the districts communication office at 18700 Audette or at www.dearbornedfoundation.org
• The foundation, a separate organization that raises money to support some district activities, announced it is taking donations for the Cipriano Memorial Fund, which will benefit the meet, scholarship and the Cipriano family. Donations can be made at Comerica Bank or DCFU Financial and checks should be made payable to the foundation with Cipriano Memorial Fund written in the memo of the check.
All of it is an effort to create a long-lasting tribute that will carry on Ciprianos mission of helping kids, Whiston said.
We didnt just want to put a plaque up and honor Bob once. We wanted to honor Bob each and every year to keep his memory alive in our hearts.
Ciprianos loss is particularly difficult during this time of the year, when the district is dealing with creating a budget for the coming school year. Whiston said the district has contracted with a retired budget manager from a nearby school district to help.
But he became choked up after the press conference when asked how difficult it would be to select a permanent replacement for Cipriano.
Ive put it off as long as I can, a teary Whiston said. Because in a way it makes it real.
Ciprianos colleagues described a man with a playful nature who was passionate about kids and their physical health. He had been working with athletic directors in the district to create a running program for middle school students, and possibly elementary students. He wanted to encourage competition, lifelong fitness and fun.
Mary Lane, president of the Dearborn Board of Education, said Cipriano was always someone board members could trust when it came to budget issues. His loss, she said, is felt every day.
We cant even think about what the family feels. We know its deep, because our loss is deep.
David Mustonen, spokesman for the Dearborn district, said the memorial efforts will require a lot of fundraising. Already, he said, People have been coming to us, asking what can we do.

Economic Development Corp. of Kansas City plans $600K business retention effort
- Rob Roberts
- Staff Writer
This did not compute to Tom Trabon: 30,000 Kansas City businesses and two business-retention employees on the Economic Development Corp. of Kansas City staff.
Therefore, Trabon proposed Friday that the EDC board ask Kansas City officials to approve a $200,000 challenge grant, which the EDC would match with $400,000 collected from the business community. The money would be used exclusively for business-retention efforts based on a format agreement with the parties involved, according to a motion by Trabon, a member of the EDC board.
The motion passed unanimously. In addition, Kansas City Council members on the EDC board agreed to draft a proposal seeking the $200,000 city grant. And Mike Chesser, CEO of Great Plains Energy Inc. (NYSE: GXP) and chairman of the EDC board, said Great Plains subsidiary Kansas City Power & Light Co. would kick off the business community's effort with a $100,000 contribution.
Chesser, in calling on Trabon to outline his business-retention proposal Friday, told the board he didn't expect a vote on it. But after Trabon's presentation and proposal and a discussion that resulted in no dissenting arguments, Chesser put the question up for a vote.
"We've been reactionary ... for far too long," said Trabon, a past chairman of the Downtown Council of Kansas City who just completed a term on the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce board.
He said the EDC needed more boots on the street to tell businesses, before they reach site decision points, "We want you to be in Kansas City and stay in Kansas City."
Board member E. Frank Ellis seconded Trabon's proposal but said that in concert with the EDC's business-retention effort, the organization needed to push the city and state to enhance their economic development tools such that they are on par with those of Kansas.

Students of human psychology need look no further than the fable of the tortoise and the hare to understand the situation today in the region's leasing sector. In the waning years of the boom, a number of new entrants made valiant plays, but some appear to have had to pause to reconsider. Despite the aviation boom in the Middle East, few new major regional entrants into this esoteric business have come into existence and, of those that have, the 2008 bust clearly had a major negative impact.
Aircraft finance
Airlines are benefitting from growing capital market support for new aircraft financing, with this source of funding expected to account for as much as 15 percent of all transactions this year, according to Boeing Capital. A few years ago, capital markets accounted for barely 2 to 3 percent of aircraft financing.
Given the depressed values of most pre-owned aircraft over the past several years, along with the sheer volume of aircraft available, buyers in the market might have a tough time searching out the best bargains among the many offerings. Virginia-based Asset Insight now promises to make that task simpler as it unveils a new tool.
A legal case that could hold serious ramifications for the aircraft financing and leasing industry met its end with a blow against the lenders when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal.
With financing for business aircraft still far from easy to secure, ExecuJet Aviation has stepped up its efforts to help get more people airborne through its SimplyFly Finance program. The plan is to offer fast-access, simplified nonrecourse financing in the shape of five-year loans or leases for up to 70 percent of the value of an aircraft worth at least $20 million and no more than five years old. An initial fund of $400 million provided by ExecuJet's main shareholder Dermot Desmond is available to support the program.
Attendees at the National Aircraft Financing Association annual meeting late last week in Savannah, Ga., largely agreed that aircraft financing is "thawing," but new international banking rules that will start to be phased in next year might make things worse.
The International Monetary Fund's April 18 warning that Europe's banks could lose some $2.6 trillion over the next 18 months lent weight to concerns of a continuing aircraft finance drought recently voiced by airline treasurers and finance bosses.
Bryan Moss, the former president and vice chairman of Gulfstream, has joined private investment firm Guggenheim Partners as the chairman of its recently restructured business aircraft investment division.

For prospective buyers of business aircraft there's good news and not so good news.
The good news is that there are some great bargains on pre-owned turbine-powered aircraft languishing in a stubbornly large inventory of unsold aircraft. Many companies and even sole proprietorships may be able to afford a corporate or personal jet that they wouldn't even have contemplated acquiring just three years ago before prices tanked.
Barely two years ago prospective business aircraft buyers in Europe were among the most sought-after clients for a banking industry attracted both to the high rates of growth in this market sector and to the exceptional strength of asset values, driven largely by soaring demand and long delivery backlogs.

New Regent St will not be open for Christmas unless they start pouring concrete this week, the project manager says.
An engineering dispute has delayed restoration of the historic Christchurch street by about three weeks, but building consent needs to be granted this week for the project to be completed in time for the Christmas shopping rush.
Christchurch City Council staff have raised concerns about seismic strengthening plans for the street.
Project manager Ed Leeson, of Naylor Love, said the company was close to agreement with council engineers.
''We have been waiting for about three weeks, but we are not a million miles off it now,'' he said.
''If we can pour concrete this week I am hoping we can be finished for the first week in December and hand over for the fitout. We will be a week later at the other end if that doesn't come through.
''I find it a very weird way of doing things when the council is involved in the design of the structure, rather than just the consent. I am happy to deal with it and figure it out.''
Council building operations manager Ethan Stetson said the council wanted to make sure the buildings were safe in an earthquake.
''This is a life-risk issue. Some might say we are being a bit pedantic, but if I was going into that building I would want to make sure it was safe,'' he said.
''He knows what the issues are and has not responded. It is holding us up from processing consent documents.''
Stetson said project engineer Endel Lust had been tardy in providing additional information requested by council staff.
Lust met officials from the council and the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) last Friday.
He said more detailed engineering calculations were submitted to council and Cera officials late last week.
''If we can get back on track this week we should still be on course for Christmas,'' he said.
''We would just like to get the consent so we can get moving on it. We want to pour concrete and get on with things.
''The building consent is there and everything is ready to go. We are just haggling over those last details.
''We want to get moving because we want to be open by Christmas.
''I'm the meat in the sandwich. There is no real point in arguing. I just want to co-operate and get the job done.''

Environmental conditions influence citrus production
The variance in production can be largely attributed to environmental conditions that occurred at the time of flowering. In the early spring of this year when orange trees were flowering, day and night time temperatures were cold.
The colder temperatures produced a heavier air which helped reduce the amount of pollen moving freely through the air. Consequently this condition contributed to a more incomplete pollination of flowers occurring on orange trees.
Satsuma trees, which typically are the last to flower, had warmer day and nighttime temperatures that occurred during flowering. In addition to warmer temperatures, many of the days during flowering were sunny with little cloud cover.
This encouraged a high activity of pollen movement along with a complete pollination occurring from honey bees.
As older citrus trees often bear at a much greater rate than younger, immature trees, backyard growers should not expect an optimum production until trees become mature. This generally is around the 5 to 6 year age.
If production is very good one or more years, most often the cultural practices provided are doing the job and an offset in production the following year should be no cause for alarm. When the tree fails to produce a large quantity of fruit, stress of any kind during flowering can influence a loss of flowers as well an incomplete pollination. The responses of trees not producing properly should be expected in years when stressful environmental conditions occur.
Certainly Louisianas weather conditions provide a degree of uncertainty in the spring and can well influence whether citrus trees have a good or poor production year.

RBI has met bankers to sensitize them about the rising bad loan situation. However, bankers say non-performing loans are at manageable level. Bankers have requested the central for some clarity on guidelines related to restructure accounts, reports CNBC-TV18. Top bankers today sought more clarity from RBI about classification of bad accounts anddemanded that they be given flexibility in dealing with restructured loans. "Today, there is a lot of mystery about what is a restructured asset. Everything restructured is seen as equivalent to NPA (non-performing asset) ... the restructuring definition should have a timeline," State Bank of India Chairman Pratip Chaudhuri told reporters outside the RBI headquarters after a two-hour-long meeting with the Reserve Bank officials. "We wanted that RBI gives clear guidelines so that when the auditors come in there is no confusion and there is no divergence in approach," he added. The Chairman of the largest lender, which in December reported a near 90% spike in NPA provisions, said the banks pointed out to RBI that after the probation period, if an account performs alright, it should not be branded as restructured for all the time. Chaudhuri attended a specially-convened meeting with RBI Deputy Governor K C Chakrabarty called to assess the bad asset situation in the banking system. Chaudhuri further said the classification of a recast account is a "gray area" now and hence banks have requested for a timeline of a year-long regular repayment by the restructured account to turn it as a standard asset. It can be noted that a re-classification of accounts will help banks conserve capital as a restructured account demands more provisioning as opposed to a standard one.

Nationwide (BlackNews.com) -- Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Health Care Act, has officially gone live, but due to to technical problems with the web site, many have not yet been able to sign up. Meanwhile, one web site, AffordableHealthInsurance.org, has stepped up to help individuals and families find the affordable health insurance plans that they are looking for.
Frequented by thousands of people every month, the web site does more than just offer health insurance quotes; Users can actually learn about how health insurance works, and what such terms as "deductible" and "HMO" actually mean. The site was designed for users who know little about health insurance, and would like to fully understand what they are signing up for.
The site also features a state-by-state healthcare profile, helping users identify what programs are being offered by the state they live in. For example, if a user lives in California, they can learn about CaliforniaKids, a charitable healthcare organization for children; Medi-Cal for people who are 65 or older, blind, pregnant, or disabled; and California's Partnership for Prescription Assistance program for people who can't afford their prescriptions.
The site also features a blog for the general public, and another blog for minorities. Both report on the latest happenings in the health and healthcare industries.

Doggone Safe is World Rabies Day Partner
Help to educate and provide rabies vaccine.
CAMPBELLVILLE, ON, September 29, 2013
-- World Rabies Day is on September 28, 2013. Partners around the world are holding events and engaging in public education campaigns to help eliminate this completely preventable disease. Key campaign messages include: Vaccinate your companion animals and stay away from stray animals and wild animals.
Despite being 100% preventable, it is estimated that 55,000 people die worldwide from rabies each year, approximately one person every ten minutes. The World Rabies Day initiative is a global rabies awareness campaign being spearheaded by the UK charity Alliance for Rabies Control and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"This campaign offers all of us a unique opportunity to increase global awareness of the most deadly disease known to humans," says Dr. Deborah Briggs, Executive Director for the Alliance of Rabies Control. "A major part of this effort is the declaration of an annual World Rabies Day on September 28th. Events are planned throughout the world to increase awareness about rabies, and to raise support and funding towards its prevention and control."
The cornerstones of rabies prevention are vaccination of companion animals and avoiding contact with potentially infected wild animals.
Doggone Safe will join the list of international partners who are rallied towards Rabies, understand it to defeat It! "Doggone Safe is proud to be a World Rabies Day partner and we encourage all our members to get involved with Word Rabies Day events in their communities" says President and co-founder Joan Orr. "We have produced a postcard to help kids and families learn how to help animals and prevent exposure to rabies." This can be downloaded from the Doggone Safe website
The main focus of this is to stay away from wild animals and loose dogs and to tell an adult. The best way to help an animal is to stay away from it and call Animal Control. Donate to the Rabies Alliance to help with education and provision of rabies vaccine at
Rabies is rare in domestic dogs in most developed countries, so a loose dog that a child encounters is not likely to be rabid. Children should be encouraged to stay away from all dogs that do not have an owner holding the leash and to Be a Tree (stand still and quiet and avoid eye contact) if a loose dog comes up to them.
More information about the World Rabies Day Campaign can be found at
The not-for-profit Doggone Safe mandate is based on juror's recommendations following an inquest into the mauling death of 8 year old Courtney Trempe in Ontario, Canada..
Doggone safe offers information about reading dog body language, dog training and preventing dog bites as well as an on-line course on basic body language at its website
The Be a Tree program for dog bite prevention education for school age children is around the world with information at

Get organized in just 10 minutes
New Haven (WTNH) - If you think you don't have time to get your home or officeorganized, think again.
Professional organizer Lisa Lelas from LifeStyling in Guilford showed us how you can accomplish bigorganizing tasks in just a small amount of time.
The following organizing tips were compiled by Lisa:
Create a daily "task basket." On your kitchencounter near your telephone, place a little basket filled with 5-10 minute little tasks (on seperate strips of paper) that you neverseem to make the time for (such as cleaning out the microwave,folding laundry, polishing the sink, etc.). Once or twice a day,whenever you're on the phone for an extended conversation, reachinto the basket and pull out a task to accomplish while chatting onphone!
Get into the habit of creating a 10 minute time pocketevery day to accomplish an organizing task. Mark it inyour planner or on the calendar. Maybe stay 10 minutes later atwork to organize your desk and files, or get up 10 minutes earlierto organize something around the house. Before you know it, it willbe as normal as brushing your teeth everyday!
Things you can accomplish in just 10 minutes or less:
Weed out 10 file folders. Dedicate 1 minute orless per folder, cull and recycle any papers you no longer need.Consider dating material stored in files and/or placing most recentpaperwork in the front of the file folder, so older, more outdatedmaterials can be culled easily in the back of the folder.
Get rid of junk emails. While at your desk, take5-10 minutes to unsubscribe to 5-10 junk E-Mails each day.
Synchronize your day planner or electronicorganizer to your household master calendar for kid's events,appointments and other family activities.
Sort through that pile of magazines and oldcatalogues either stuffed into a magazine rack, on your kitchencounter or beside your bed. Be honest- if you haven't read amagazine that's several months old, chances are you never will.Toss them into the recycling bin. If there's a dog-eared page youwanted to save, tear that out and file it away.
Pick through an overstuffed drawer: a kitchengadget drawer, a junk drawer, a sock drawer, etc. Set a timer for10 minutes, grab a trash bag and toss things you don't need.
Write out your greeting cards for the month. Ifyou shop ahead and purchase all the cards you need for that season,it'll only take about 10 minutes to write out all of your greetingcards for the month ahead. Address them, stamp them and send themout!
Clear out one shelf in your refrigerator. Removeitems first, clean the shelf and put items back in an orderlyway.
Make a donation bag. Go through your clothescloset and choose 5 clothing items that you never wear. Do thisregularly. When the bag is full, donate it!
Make an appointment you've been putting off.Whether it's a trip to the dentist, doctor or accountant, get onthe phone and establish an appointment time.
Clear off one flat surface in your home. Whetherit be your kitchen table, counter, desktop, dresser top ornightstand, choose one and clear it of clutter!
And finally... clean out your purse!

Boston's smoking ban in parks: Try a lighter touch
In recent years, the City of Boston has taken laudable steps to curb exposure to secondhand smoke, banning smoking in outdoor workplaces and public housing projects. But it's harder to defend a broad new effort to ban smoking in all city parks. Smokers need to be aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke, and sensitive to people downwind of them. Many already are. Public health campaigns and the old-fashioned evil eye could be useful weapons in the cause. Indeed, in the years since the Stanford study was released — in part, because of successful cessation programs from the city and state — smoking rates in Boston have declined. It's great to encourage safe behavior. It's less effective to legislate it.

Cliff Richard to release 100th album
September 4th, 2013 3:20am EDT
Veteran British star Sir Cliff Richard has ruled out retirement after unveiling plans to release his 100th album.
The 72-year-old Living Doll singer will hit the milestone in November (13) when he puts out The Fabulous Rock 'n' Roll Songbook - 54 years after his 1959 debut Cliff.
He says, "It's always exciting and inspiring to be in a recording studio and I think there is much more to come from me over the next few years - I'm definitely not ready to retire yet. I had so much fun making this album. Singing and performing rock 'n' roll is just so invigorating."
Richard's latest album was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Scherzer's escape, Martinez's disputed HR help Tigers rally past A's 8-6 to force Game 5
DETROIT - On a night of desperation, dispute and finally, delirium, Max Scherzer and the Detroit Tigers kept their season alive by the slimmest of margins.
A tying home run, helped along by a couple of fans in right field.
A full-count pitch with the bases loaded that was low and inside but became strike three when the batter swung.
A line drive down the line with the bases still full — foul by a few feet.
During a relief outing to remember, Scherzer escaped a major jam one inning after two fans reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinez's disputed home run, and the Tigers rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 on Tuesday to force a decisive fifth game in their AL division series.
Scherzer was in line to start Game 5, but the 21-game winner came on Tuesday instead for his first relief appearance since the 2011 post-season. He wriggled out of a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the eighth inning and got the win.
"We took our best shot and we had to because we were behind the 8-ball a little bit," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We took that shot and, hey, both teams are going to have a good pitcher going two days from now."
After avoiding elimination, the Tigers can now send Justin Verlander to the mound Thursday night in Oakland. Verlander shut out the A's at the Coliseum in Game 5 of the division series last year.
Oakland hasn't announced a starter for Thursday. It is Bartolo Colon's turn in the post-season rotation, but rookie Sonny Gray could also come back on normal rest after a brilliant performance in Game 2.
"We haven't decided anything yet," manager Bob Melvin said.
Playing catch-up most of the way in Game 4, the Tigers tied it first with Jhonny Peralta's three-run homer in the fifth and then on Martinez's solo shot in the seventh. A couple of fans attempted to catch Martinez's drive, and at least one of them bobbled the ball as he reached over the railing above the wall.
That prevented right fielder Josh Reddick from having any chance at a leaping grab. Reddick and centre fielder Coco Crisp immediately protested, pointing up at the stands in the hope of a fan-interference call. But umpires upheld the home run after a replay review.
"I have no doubt I was going to catch that ball. When I looked at the replay, that's what I thought," Reddick said. "It's totally frustrating that a fan can influence the game."
Gary Darling, the crew chief, was umpiring in right field. He disagreed, even after the replay.
"It was clear he was not going to catch the ball, so it was clearly going to be a home run," Darling said. "There wasn't any other evidence on replay to turn it another way."
Scherzer came out of the bullpen in the seventh and gave up a run, then ran into trouble again in the eighth. With the Tigers ahead 5-4, he allowed a walk and a double to start the inning. But after an intentional walk to load the bases, Leyland left his ace on the mound.
Scherzer struck out Reddick, who swung and missed at what would have been ball four on a low, inside pitch. Stephen Vogt struck out too, but pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo's line drive to left nearly fell in before landing foul.
Callaspo eventually lined out to centre.
"It was surreal," said Scherzer, the winning pitcher in both Detroit victories this series. "Maybe it's not the ninth inning, but that's the stuff you dream about pitching — bases loaded, eighth inning, no outs, and I was able to do it."
Detroit, held hitless through four innings in a game of twists and turns, added three runs in the eighth on a wild pitch and a two-run double by Omar Infante that made it 8-4.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run single in the ninth, bringing the potential tying run to the plate, but Joaquin Benoit struck out Seth Smith to end it.
Crisp had four hits and three runs for the A's, who led 3-0 and 4-3 but couldn't close out the defending American League champions. The Oakland bullpen hadn't allowed a run all series until Tuesday.
After Crisp put the A's ahead 4-3 with an RBI single off Scherzer in the seventh, Martinez lifted a fly to right against reliever Sean Doolittle. It would have been an extremely difficult catch for Reddick, and it looked as though the ball might have cleared the wall even without the fans' involvement.
It was certainly an anxious wait while umpires reviewed the play, which brought back memories of Derek Jeter's fan-aided homer against Baltimore in the 1996 AL championship series at Yankee Stadium.
Peralta followed with a double, and Austin Jackson — who was 1 for 14 with 10 strikeouts in the series to that point — managed a broken-bat single to put the Tigers ahead 5-4.
It appeared Detroit was in big trouble in the eighth, but Scherzer was able to protect the one-run lead, and the Tigers eventually added to it.
Detroit starter Doug Fister allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings before being relieved by Scherzer, who came back on three days' rest after his victory in Game 1.
Oakland took the series lead with a win in Game 3, and Crisp's leadoff triple Tuesday put the Tigers on their heels again. Detroit brought the infield in — a sign that even one run could be vital — and Crisp scored on Jed Lowrie's one-out single, putting immediate pressure on the Tigers' slumbering offence.
It appeared the Athletics were on their way to the ALCS when Lowrie's two-run homer in the fifth gave Oakland a three-run lead. With slugger Miguel Cabrera still hobbled by injuries, A's rookie Dan Straily held the Tigers hitless until the fifth.
But after a bloop single by Prince Fielder, Martinez grounded a base hit to right. Peralta, who moved from shortstop to left field after returning from his late-season drug suspension, lined one over the wall in left, finally bringing the Comerica Park fans to life.
NOTES: Cabrera hit a sixth-inning single. He's reached base safely in all 28 of his post-season games with the Tigers. ... Detroit had gone seven games without a homer. ... Peralta's homer was the first extra-base hit allowed by Straily since Sept. 7, according to STATS.

Six Six One Rampage Knee/Shin Guard
They are great and for a great price.
I like the fit and finish, bulky enough to have awesome protection, but not so bulky to restrict motion. I have full range of motion with these. I have wore them several times, even on XC trails. Pedaling is no problem, a little warm in summer but not bothersome. They do slip a little but only after lots of pedaling, sizing is key. Get the right size, put them in the right spot and tighten down. Never had them rotate on me. All in all I have no complaints.

IGDA Toronto Collecting Coins: New Funding Options for Game Developers
Ryan Creighton from the IGDA writes:
Thanks to everyone who joined us for our fall kick-off event with Neil Druckmann. The IGDA Toronto 2014 season is in full swing with October's event on choosing the funding source that's right for you (if any!)
Where: Metro Hall 55 John Street Room 308
When: Tuesday October 15th 7:30 PM
Speaker: Jason Della Rocca
Cost: Zero coins
Just a few years ago, the only source of funding for game development was a publisher. Now that other sources of finance are entering the industry (e.g., venture capital, crowdfunding, grants, incubators), there are many more options and approaches available for indies to fund their projects and studios.Former IGDA Excutive Director and current Execution Labs co-founder Jason Della Rocca will cover these options in detail, along with the best approach to raise funds given your current state. Pros and cons will be covered to ensure a much needed dose of reality.

Ideas and Suggestions
Export time tracking by entire project
Currently, we can only export time logged by month. We want to know how much time everyone spent as a whole on each project, which nearly always last longer than just one month.
33 votesThis definitely makes sense, however since projects don´t have a start and end date this would be complex…. Maybe an option would be to define a time frame beyond one month when generating the report. We´ll discuss it when we revisit this feature.
Gantt Chart - Tasks not Task Lists
It would be useful to have the Gantt chart display actual tasks and not tasks lists in the left column view - the same format as most Gantt charts - Or at least have the ability to expand the task list in the left column to display a list of tasks for that task list.
11 votesThis is interesting feedback. We just forwarded to our design team for discussion.
Carga de trabajo por usuario
Poder visualizar la cantidad de trabajo asignada por usuario. Para tener un balance en la asignación de tareas.
3 votesHola Nelson, has visto Workload? Justamente te permite visualizar las tareas asignadas a cada usuario en función de su fecha de vencimiento, y así ayudarte a ajustar la carga de trabajo.
Show an Project-Overview with 3 columns (Conversations, Task-Lists, Notes)
When I click on the Project of an Organisation, I would like to get a whole overview of all related Conversations, Task-Lists, Notes, so I don't have to click on each element on the left bar to see everything (and not just the newest ones by clicking "recent activities")

Unfortunately we don't speak Russian, can you post this in English? Thank you.
IFTTT Integration
The IfThisThanThat (IFTTT) app (for iOS) would be awesome to integrate with Teambox!! If I were to update an excel document and drop it in box/dropbox/drive, and then updates the relevant convo/task, that would be such a time-saver.

Multiple choices (user creatable) for resolution of a task
Right now a task can only be "resolved" meaning completed. It would be nice to be able to have different resolution types. We are a graphic design firm and projects have many step on the way to resolution. A project can get sent out for review, come back from review with changes, sent out to print, etc. I am sure that other users have multiple outcomes that they would like to assign within the life of a project.
2 votes -
"Expansion window " for tasks for easier editing when in columns view.
When in columns view the task field can be quit narrow, depending on screen size and number of columns. It would make it easier to edit if it was possible to expand the current task to fill the screen (or part thereof) while editing.
3 votesThis is actually coming with the new version, instead of expanding the task within the task list, a window will open:
Teambox doesn't update tasks
I am a webdeveloper and I'm using Teambox in the company I work for. If the manager sends me some tasks, they do not update under "All tasks" section. But I receive emails of those new tasks. Please make this work. I'm using Firefox 24. Other work colleagues have the same problem.
1 voteAll Tasks does not work in real time in v4, the current version.
Teambox v5 will refresh Dashboard > Tasks in real time.
Add tasks to more than one project/tasklist at a time
For instance, we have some tasks that we perform exactly identical for each of our clients (projects), such as posting a specific article to social media. Currently, we have to go in and create the task for each project separately. It would be great if we were given the option upon creating the task to duplicate the task to other projects and choose which ones.
6 votes -
Integrate with HipChat to provide updates on tasks
It would be great if an integration with HipChat was provided that could post updates to selected rooms (e.g. project maps to a room).
e.g. Bob has resolved "Task A"
e.g. Bob has updated the due date on "Task B" to 11/11/135 votes -
Please make projects drag and drop organizable ... like wunderlist with tasks or projects
Drag and Drop all so we can rearrange, esp order of projects. Also, Calendar integration I think can be better. Thank you... dig it so far otherwise.
1 vote -
Show what day of the week it is when a user changes a task's due date
ToDo Today for Teambox does this beautifully. When I future date a task (especially one that's a while away) I need to be able to see what day of the week the new date is. Please consider this feature within Teambox for future updates, because I LOVE Teambox in all other aspects!
3 votesWe are considering adding the day of the week for dates 7 days before and after today.
Shift tasks in Gantt Chart
It would be a great feature if it would be possible to shift an entire gantt chart/task to change the due date of a project/task . This way I do not have to change every due date of a task in the task list one by one. However, the dates of the task(s) in the tasklist should of course automatically change to the dates I chose in the Gantt Chart.
Another good addition would be, to be able to choose to make tasks depended of each other. if one task is not finished, the next task should not be started…
79 votesWe are considering this functionality in our upcoming redesign, Teambox 5.
Allow linking to existing documents with Notes
In addition to adding new document toi Note it would be useful to be able to browse and link to existing documents within a project.
11 votes -
Push Notifications on iPhone - can't activate them
Guys any ideas? We are trying out Teambox and checking out the iPhone app but I can't seem to activate the Push Notifications - any ideas?
1 voteAdam,
thanks for reporting this. Our Support team will contact you shortly to follow up on your issue.Thank you.
Faster task entry
Tasks should be able to be entered in rapid fire - type it, hit enter and then be able to immediately type the next one and hit enter/return...repeat. Once the slew of tasks in my mind are now safely captured (like in a general sorting section or something), then I want to go back and organize them, assign them or give them a due date. Nirvanahq does this VERY well.
8 votesThere are many of usability improvements coming with Teambox 5 that will make it easier to do things such as create tasks and projects. You may find this process smoother with the new version, coming out at the end of 2014.
Notes for entire organization, not just project
My team has several ideas for future projects or general ideas that are not project specific. We would like to have notes outside projects, per organization.
3 votes -
Updating members under Time Tracking filter
Under Time Tracking filter / Everybody, It seems not updating the latest members list. How do I update the list, so the members who no longer belong to organization won't show up under the list again?

We have talked about some of the volume APIs Windows exposes. We have also talked about what it means for a volume control to be linear in magnitude, linear in power, or linear in dB.
The attachment to this blog post contains:
Let's start by looking at what the app does.
>volume-linearity.exevolume-linearity.exe --signal | --stream | --session | --channel | --endpoint-db | --capture--signal varies the amplitude of the generated signal from 0 to 1--stream varies the IAudioStreamVolume from 0 to 1--session varies the ISimpleAudioVolume from 0 to 1--channel varies the IChannelAudioVolume from 0 to 1--endpoint-db varies the IAudioEndpointVolume from X dB to Y dB where X and Y are the min and max values supported--capture varies session, channel, and endpoint-db volumes on the default capture device
Let's look at --signal mode first. The app plays a square wave at amplitudes from 0 (silence) to 1 (full-scale), varying in a linearly in magnitude. It takes periodic readings using IAudioMeterInformation to see what the peak values on the other side of the audio engine are. The IAudioMeterInformation API returns readings that are also linear in magnitude, so the response graph looks nice and linear:
Well... wait a second. What happened at full scale? Let's get a closer look:
When we attempt to play a square wave of amplitude greater than about 0.985, the meter reveals that what we get out of the audio engine is not quite what we put in. The volume has been capped. What's going on?
If we look at the list of WASAPI Audio Processing objects, notice that one of them is called CAudioLimiter. The job of this APO is to take its input and produce output that is limited to the range (-1, 1). When it sees that signals are getting too close to the edge, it steps in and pulls the signal closer to the center.
For this reason, the other modes of volume-linearity.exe use a half-scale (-1/2, 1/2) square wave rather than a full-scale square wave.
UPDATE June 1 2011: added --capture mode
I have a question, does this applicable to capture stream also?
Good question; I don't know.

Glucose is a fancy name for a specific and common sugar (yup, everything is turned to sugar). Iron stores in the liver are great enough for most people that iron supplements are not usually needed, except in people with iron-deficiency anemia, which is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide.
The liver also serves as the initial source of glucose when you rush the hot dog stand at half-time (even before you get there) since the sugar in your blood only provides 10 minutes of energy. It then does double-duty to break down the nitrates from that hot dog in the detox function described below.
This, by the way, is the reason why you don't burn fat immediately when you start exercising-it's because your body is using the fuel that's stored as glucose in the liver first.
