Realigning and refocusing Information Analysis Center (IAC) capabilities
and products on defense system affordability, in conjunction with current
DoD Better Buying Power initiatives, is an essential task for DoD and the
Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) leadership going forward.
This new publication, "The Influence of Reliability, Maintainability,
Quality, Supportability and Interoperability on System Affordability",
discusses how the effective application of Reliability, Maintainability,
Quality, Supportability and Interoperability (RMQSI) tools and processes
will ensure that essential warfighting capabilities are delivered that
meet system suitability requirements at the most affordable cost.
The publication describes how each of the RMQSI disciplines impacts
the overall affordability of a system during the evolving phases of its
life cycle. To be most effective, RMQSI processes and analyses must be
initiated very early in the acquisition process, Pre-Milestone A, and
continue throughout the system life cycle in order to create the greatest
Return on Investment (ROI) and an optimal Ownership Cost (OC) and Total
Life Cycle Cost (TLCC).
As government research and acquisition budgets get strained under sequestration, one Defense Department organization says it has a way to make sure those limited dollars go further — and it's been doing it, mostly under the public radar, for more than six decades.
DoD's Information Analysis Centers, part of the larger Defense Technical Information Center, have the job of collecting, analyzing and disseminating the department's knowledge about science, technology and business processes so that a new program manager doesn't have to reinvent the wheel when he or she is faced with a tough problem.
Christopher Zember, the director of DoD's Information Analysis Centers discusses the historical role of IACs, how they've evolved through the years, and ongoing changes designed to support DoD's Better Buying Power initiative.
The NAVSEA/Crane SD-18 "Parts Requirements and Application Guide" provides guidance when using military and commercial parts in military environments. It provides part acquisition guidelines for Program Managers, System Program Offices, and Original Equipment Manufacturers. SD-18 provides guidance on how the Department of Defense and its contractors can cooperatively select devices that will result in the lowest cost of ownership for the DoD in support of its Better Buying Power initiatives.

Fort Belvoir, VA – For more than 65 years, the Defense Department's Information Analysis Centers (IACs) have provided an essential resource to affordably deliver data and analysis in support of the need for technical information supporting current operations. In a recent Federal Times article, Pentagon spokeswoman Maureen Schumann said the IACs allow the Pentagon "to reduce duplication and build on previous research, development and other technical needs."
through Robust Design and Test
This new 3-day course, currently available to teach on-site, provides a complete overview of the reliability growth process associated with robust design and test techniques. It defines the basic concepts of reliability growth and illustrates how these concepts can be most effectively applied using a variety of design and test methods. Topics covered include reliability growth management, reliability growth through design (FMEA/FMECA, FTA, Reliability Physics/Physics of Failure, Accelerated Life Testing, and Orthogonal Defect Classification for Software) and reliability growth through test (FRACAS; reliability planning, tracking and projection models). The course also provides unique and innovative approaches that measure, quantify and improve the effectiveness of Design for Reliability (DFR) activities.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Geothermal Country Notes
Uganda's power sector relies heavily on indigenous hydroelectricity. The country is particularly well-endowed with a hydro resource but large losses due to long transmission lines, together with the possible effects of climate change on the supply of water, has ensured that the Government recognises the importance of diversification.
Research has established that three areas in particular, lying in the west of the country near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, have considerable geothermal potential. Assessments are being made of two prospects: Katwe and Kibiro. The former has been shown to have a temperature of 160-200°C and the latter in excess of 200°C. A pre-feasibility study is being conducted in the area of Buranga. It is hoped that in future these areas will enable electricity generation from small-scale geothermal plants in rural areas.

Newborn - Reflexes
What reflexes should be present in a newborn?
Reflexes are involuntary movements or actions. Some movements are spontaneous, occurring as part of the baby's usual activity. Others are responses to certain actions. Reflexes help identify normal brain and nerve activity. Some reflexes occur only in specific periods of development. The following are some of the normal reflexes seen in newborn babies:- root reflex
This reflex begins when the corner of the baby's mouth is stroked or touched. The baby will turn his/her head and open his/her mouth to follow and "root" in the direction of the stroking. This helps the baby find the breast or bottle to begin feeding.
- suck reflex
Rooting helps the baby become ready to suck. When the roof of the baby's mouth is touched, the baby will begin to suck. This reflex does not begin until about the 32nd week of pregnancy and is not fully developed until about 36 weeks. Premature babies may have a weak or immature sucking ability because of this. Babies also have a hand-to-mouth reflex that goes with rooting and sucking and may suck on fingers or hands.
- Moro reflex
The Moro reflex is often called a startle reflex because it usually occurs when a baby is startled by a loud sound or movement. In response to the sound, the baby throws back his/her head, extends out the arms and legs, cries, then pulls the arms and legs back in. A baby's own cry can startle him/her and begin this reflex. This reflex lasts about five to six months.
- tonic neck reflex
When a baby's head is turned to one side, the arm on that side stretches out and the opposite arm bends up at the elbow. This is often called the "fencing" position. The tonic neck reflex lasts about six to seven months.
- grasp reflex
Stroking the palm of a baby's hand causes the baby to close his/her fingers in a grasp. The grasp reflex lasts only a couple of months and is stronger in premature babies.
- Babinski reflex
When the sole of the foot is firmly stroked, the big toe bends back toward the top of the foot and the other toes fan out. This is a normal reflex up to about 2 years of age.
- step reflex
This reflex is also called the walking or dance reflex because a baby appears to take steps or dance when held upright with his/her feet touching a solid surface.

Freelance creative Marcus Diamond works for anyone brave enough to commission him. In 2000 alongside a stint writing for Blaze Television he founded the design group Neasden Control Centre. NCC went on to produce a huge and varied range of work for clients such as Action Aid, 4AD, Esquire 55DSL, Island Records Magma Books, Selfridges, Rome Snowboards, MTV and Playboy in a very short amount of time. Sought after in London and beyond, the group's work covered design, illustration, installation, animation and motion graphics for advertising agencies, book publishers bars, clubs, charities galleries, shops, musicians and magazines.
This variety is mirrored in the range of processes used, from the lowest possible tech through to high-end digital presentation, all underpinned by copious amounts of drawing. In 2003, Die Gestalten Verlag published a sellout monograph of NCC, and this exposure was mirrored in many magazine articles, internationally. A follow up book was published in 2008.
Diamond is keen to continue to develop cross culture design principals across different technology both new and old whilst dealing with narrative, materials, process and drawing, as well as reguarly art directing.
Regularly exhibiting his work has featured at The Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona, The Filesharing Gallery Berlin, The Modart Festival Munich, The Punct Gallery Tilburg Holland and The National Gallery London.

Pirate Plottage... non-pirates are invited too!
Arrrrrrrrr.... shiver me timbers......... swash swash buckle buckle.... and things like that... ;) I thought it would be good to start a OOC post for Pirates to plot and for non-pirates to be tempted to join in too (either as a pirate or with a character you already have)
This post is to throw around ideas... talk about what we want to try out. So, let me start!
I am Will Turner, he just married Elizabeth Swan, he died and he returned to safe the day! What will happen next? We know he has to ferry the death but we also can pull him out and into other places just because we want too. YAY for a PSL comm eh? Who to blame? Well, almost every culture has tons of gods and goddess we can blame for misplacing him and if all fails there are always Aliens.
Wanna play with Will? I'm game... just throw your ideas into this post and see what happens... MWHAHAHAHAHA!

I'll this is something unhappy last year more than eleven million people.
Were victims of identity theft and shockingly one out of eleven cases are caused when a family member.
Miss handles your information.
-- right now tips to protect yourself.
Christmas season is personal finance expert Dave -- -- Dave let's start with that headline right there.
A lot of people victimized by identity theft and it's a family member -- blame.
Yeah I had another one out of town or somebody that you know locker room made an ex girlfriend ex boyfriend those kinds of things up.
A lot of it's fairly close to home and that makes it particularly sad because you have to file a police report to not have to pay the debt.
And so it really create some real mess when someone's coming enough to steal your own -- and -- a heady guard decide guard against that not have friends or don't could still keep in touch with family family -- Well you got to choose both carefully I get close but up you guys are family members and friend.
I'm not one kid -- But we're we're stuck -- those but you know you have to just be careful and thoughtful and you know it if there's a toxic situation.
With a relationship you just got to be aware of that you always want to have identity theft protection.
You don't wanna fool around with suspicious web sites and -- the type of protection you want is always one that assigns a caseworker to work out the problems -- you.
That's the biggest problem without entity that you don't all the money when someone's children and you just gotta go clean up the -- sure.
Dave what are your -- was avoid suspicious website this time a year a lot of people are shopping on line and it if you're not an Amazon or one of the big ones you might think well I should I really trust this person with my credit card weasel Walter dot com from from.
Let will be clue right there but if they don't have a security a badge on there of some kind something like a Verisign.
A lot of -- software on your computer will pop up and say are you sure you wanna do this -- and so you can check their security.
Guidelines in their protocol real quickly you don't have to be a computer -- to do that.
And you really should don't throw your numbers around out there and people start emailing you that's called Phishing.
Asking you for information at this time of the year be very careful with that that's something -- stay completely away from -- him.
Okay here's an email Janet from Florida has this question for apple -- doesn't -- yeah.
What is the best way to dispute an item on my credit report.
Well the federal fair credit reporting act.
Gives the consumer basic guidelines and basic rights if there's something on your credit report that is inaccurate.
You have the right to dispute it and if they cannot prove that the item is accurate within thirty days they have to remove it.
Now if if someone is reporting inaccurate information they may re reported you may have to go to the information through the process again.
But what we recommend as you write the credit bureau reports -- the credit bureau agency a letter certified mail return receipt requested so you have proof they received it and then.
Let that that let that denial if you start and that thirty days later your out -- from Mississippi right to do my shopping online -- -- a credit card because of where that would have the same fraud detection by using my debit card is this true.
You know that's the biggest myth out there about the debit card or debit card with a visa and MasterCard has the exact same fraud protections.
That a credit card -- exact you have a zero liability in the event someone steals your information you know credit card or a debit -- -- -- costing it must be costing credit card companies.
Just -- -- a year because it seems like there's so much more fraud and ways to keep up with that are not intact.
Well they don't do a very good job underwriting the issuing of credit cards actually only check the credit on about one -- -- of the applications.
Because there are massively large industry that basically using a shotgun approach so they invite.
Identity theft into their industry by their lack of underwriting skills well let's see if you've just made peoples' holidays a little happier.
Dave Ramsey jurors today from Nashville thank you sir have a great week.
Thank you Merry Christmas -- -- Christmas Merry Christmas tech.

LOL Ok, I'll go along with that!
Interestingly enough however, I have a Lincoln LS, which is basically an American version of a 3 Series BMW (that frankly I wish they'd bring back..) which has rear park assist and abysmal mirrors. Ok for changing lanes, but backing up, you definitely have to know your vehicle. My other ride is a F250 Superduty that I pull a 32 foot gooseneck horse trailer with. No park assist, and you can't see directly behind you, but as you pull past to see if you even fit, it should be enough time/view to see whats around. And lastly, I'm also a volunteer firefighter, so I have been driving our trucks for probably the last 15 years. The size isn't so much the problem, but the weight. The 3000 gallon tanker is 38 feet long, and weighs in at 68k loaded, and 13 ton lighter when empty. Being in a rural area where I live, asphalt isn't always present... So gauging what you're about to get into is beneficial in determining if you get back out!
I dunno, between that and farm stuff, maybe I take the skill set for granted, but I don't see it as an unlearnable skill. Just takes practice.

Hi Kleetus,
Apparently I misread your earlier comment and we are in violent agreement ;-)
The only case where a backup camera helps is for operators who *want* to be safe, *do* have reasonable skill but simply can't see what is happening around them.
If you are used to the typical European nimble car and you get into a USA Boulevard Tractor (I mean the vehicles classified as farm equipment like any SUV or jacked up Pickup truck) then you too will be horrified by the loss of control on your environment, there literally can be a whole classroom standing around your vehicle and you can't see any one of them.
Oh and car manufacturers have indeed deliberately reduced the size of rear windows, because their customers indicated in questionnairs that they felt safer in a car with smaller windows. SO, who cares about the safety of lives outside the car???
Don't get me started...

No it's not news to me, cvandewater, and yes, I'm very aware of those laws. That was the point of my post. I do wait until it's clear, AFAICT. The point is, and the on-the-ground reality is, drivers can't look in all directions at once when backing out of a parking lot space, and anyone with half a brain walking near a large deadly object (today it's a car, "yesterday" it was a big predator) who is not paying attention to that object and treating it like the danger it is, is being irresponsible. So many pedestrians today seem to be oblivious to their surroundings, as do so many drivers. So I vote for warning sounds on the outside of vehicles. Of course, as soon as those become common, some people will just ignore them, too. I have had experiences just like yours. Unfortunately, I've also had experiences as a driver with irresponsible and oblivious pedestrians.

Wow this thing is HOT! lol. You don't have to be an idiot to run over something or someone. A small lapse in attention is enough for an accident. I myself, would not recommend putting a vehical in reverse with someone remotely behind it and for sure not if kids were around. Children don't recognize danger.
I am not a professional driver with CDL liscense, but feel confident enough that I can use my mirrors, provided they are set correctly, to back my car or truck up short distances. I don't care much for the camera idea, but I think sonar alarm system would be a good idea.
Driving a little delivery truck around town isn't a big deal. If you can park a heavy 40ft trailer on a well site between other trucks in the rain and heavy mud with a foot between trucks... that's some driving.

Wow... you really don't get it do you? You wrote it down, laid it out, and you STILL don't get it.
My point is, again, based on the above premise, why should the rest of us have to pay for options to protect people from themselves? If they are too stupid or lawless as you put it, because they apparently aren't held accountable for driving over pedestrians, what good is a camera going to do? What, so they can watch the look on their victims faces as they crush them to death?
Maybe in a perfect world we could instal human recognition software for the video link, and have the computer take complete control of the car upon detection of a human or quadraped (we can't have your doggy or kitty getting smashed either can we?) the vehicle immediately solidly, locks all four wheel brakes for 30 seconds, sounds the horn, and a big boxing glove pops out of the glove box and delivers a solid left hook to the person driving because they obviously deserve it for operating a motor vehicle on a surface where people or animals have to share. Really?
I really don't believe the particular example of a 40 ft blind spot. Not doubting you, but the logic of it. How in gods name would anyone back up an 18 wheeler? The trailer alone can be upwards of 50 ft. They don't have cameras, they have SKILL. Look at a UPS or Fedex truck. So, this gets back to my original premise. You need to have some level of skill as an operator, and you as a pedestrian need to have some level of common sense to stay out of dangerous situations, and teach children the same thing once they're old enough to get around on their own for the same reasons.
Maybe it's a fallacy anymore, but I'd like to think (hope) society hasn't been dumbed down so far, that people can't figure out how to not get themselves into situations where they don't kill themselves walking down the sidewalk.
Just as a fun side note thread highjack, ever look at an old desk fan? You can stick your fingers in it, just a couple pieces of 0.125 wire bent into some kind of ornamental pattern. You can't do that today... why? Have we DE-evolved so far that we can't keep our fingers out of a fan?

Problem is not the kid falling out of a tree while you are backing up. The problem is the moron drivers who back out of a spot without being bothered to check for any traffic or whether it is safe. You can literally stand still behind a parked car, the driver gets in and backs over you, then tells that he did not see you, of course he claims that he looked and that you suddenly came out of nowhere.
Now try to drive safely without being able to see up to 40ft behind your vehicle.
I say that in *such* a vehicle you cannot drive safe if you have to back up, so you cannot legally do that (because the law says you have to drive safely) in such a vehicle without help. either a person standing behind the vehicle, a special mirror or a backup camera. But I am sure that you will find fault with this also - why would you be required to comply to any law anyway?
Maybe a good idea for pedestrians to be allowed to carry a gun to shoot the driver that is assaulting them with a vehicle, because the driver cannot be bothered to make sure to operate the vehicle safely - unfortunately that would still not solve the issue of so many kids getting killed in backing-over incidents.
Many of these incidents happen not in high traffic areas, but in a driveway on a cul de sac. You call for punishment of the victims and rewarding the perpetrators. I am afraid that you are very confused. You forget that pedestrians (and bicyclists) have a right to the streets, while driving a motor vehicle is a privilege and you must adhere to laws before you are allowed to operate a motor vehicle safely on public streets. So many drivers have no clue that roads were invented by bicyclists and horse-drawn carriages and after a couple decades when cars were invented, the drivers started sharing the same roads. That idea of sharing has been lost in the last few decennia when traffic engineers and people who only grew up with cars started sacrificing everything to the "Holy Cow" of motorized traffic flow, disregarding the legal and historical rights of pedestrians and bicyclists. Today you still see the results in that drivers are often not even ticketed for killing a human as long as they did not intend to kill and almost no parents dare to allow their kids to play near the street, because it is not safe with cars around since drivers are not held accountable to the carnage they cause.
Indeed - not so "common" sense if you consider that victims are punished and the bullies (drivers) are given free reign.

Re: Back-up alerts
Login to Rate
While back-up beepers can be helpful in some cases to alert others what you are about to do, it should and cannot take the place of the mandatory *making sure that there is nobody present where you want to go* because backing up is technically comparable with changing direction. Before you are allowed to change lane, you have to make sure that you will not hinder anyone with your change of direction. Before you make a turn, you have to make sure that no other traffic is passing in the same direction, including pedestrians, so you may need to wait before making your turn. Same with backing up. Unfortunately rear windows become smaller all the time, so people feel safer inside their vehicles. Also vehicles become higher and bigger all the time, which leads to these excesses that an entire junior sports team can stand behind your vehicle without you being able to see any one of them. The tragic results can be found too often in the news reports. I call those vehicles "unsafe at any speed".
Since it is the duty of the driver of the vehicle, to operate it a in a safe manner, I think that it is unavoidable to either have someone outside the vehicle during a backup procedure to watch for safe backing up, or to have tools to look behind the vehicle. There are many vehicles with additional mirrors that allow the driver to see the area immediately behind the vehicle. The backup camara is simply a modern variant of the extra mirrors that you often see on busses and delivery vehicles.
How would you suggest that drivers of vehicles with large blind spots operate their vehicle safely, especially in the vicinity of (young) pedestrians? I hope you don't consider the option of calling the carnage "accidents".
Backing-over incidents should be treated the same way as crashing into the vehicle in the next lane. You can't defend that you switched on your blinker, so the next lane should be evacuated for you - you can't say that you have lamps or backup beeper and anybody behind your vehicle should move out of the way. (That is how they drive in India, I hope that is not our future.) The driver that changes position must make sure to do so safely or face the consequences of breaking the law (punishment).

Ann, this may be news to you but AFAIK, anyone backing up has to give advantage to ANY traffic. This means that even pedestrians have the RIGHT to walk behind your car and you are REQUIRED to wait until the space behind your car is available before backing up. I have the impression that not many drivers can be bothered to even realize this or look for other traffic, like the lady at my local bank who backed out and I had to swerve several feet to avoid being hit by her car and she *continued* backing out. She apparently could not be bothered to look in the direction she was going. When I called her on her unsafe driving, she yelled that I should not act so hostile to her and raced away. Umh, yeah...

Re: Just because it's there doesn't mean you'll use it

I'm coming down in the "For" column for several reasons, including age, poor night vision, and experience with quality and aftermarket camera systems.
You're right that not everyone will use it, but with time I think that MOST will. (How many use ALL the the equipment on any vehicle?)
I currently own a motor home that is equipped with a good (albeit aging) backup camera. I have purchased and installed a camera on my wife's last car (a Chrysler Concord with a blind spot that approached 180 degrees).
The one on the motor home is a joy, even though it's monochrome and has to have the brightness on the CRT adjusted as light conditions change. It has saved me from backing into and over numerous objects, and is sensitive enough to let me back into parking spots with just the illumination of the tail lights. If it went out, I'd replace it in a heartbeat!
The one I installed on my wife's "boat" posed several problems that highlight the need for them to be a factory standard equipment. First, even though it was wireless it required a lot of effort to install just go get power to the camera and the display. Second, there just isn't any place to put anything in a modern car! I wound up putting it on the top of the drivers sun visor, where it had to be folded down to use. Both these fairly major problems would have been easily avoided at design time of the vehicle. It ended up being used very little because of the hassle of folding it down and back up each time, and because the field of view was too wide to be of much use OTHER THAN FOR AVOIDING OBJECTS UP CLOSE.
I would love to have a decent camera on my mini-van, but even it has virtually no space for the display. I mentioned age and poor night vision: My neck, because of age and injury, is too stiff to allow me to turn around and look behind me. As a result I am forced to rely on the mirrors (I use all 3 when backing), and mirrors in low light don't cut it too well.
As for the cost objections, as usual the auto makers are quoting their inflated figures! The unit I bought for my wife's car is fairly well made, includes a nice 7 inch wide-screen color LCD, external inputs, a speaker, a microcontroller based adjustment system, internal speaker, video transmitter and receiver, enough cable that it could have been installed WITHOUT the transmitter, and a kit of flexible mounting options. Retail price? $79.00!
P.S. On the subject of field of view: My vote is for a high mount, with a 90 degree field of view. This might need to be modified on some cars to get close enough in, but will work well on SUV's and Crossovers. (That's about all we drive here in Texas; the rest of you need to get with the program! :-)

I actually agree with the mandate for backup cameras. Although we were all taught during driver training to turn around and look before backing up or pulling out, the number of people who actually do this is shockingly small. I got hit by an idiot driver at my kid's school cause she couldn't be bothered to turn her head around to look as she was backing up to pull out. Clunk. Of course, one wonders whether the drivers who give a cursory look into the rear view mirror will use the back-up camera screen. Also, there is a bit of an orientation issue, in that your brain has to process the info on the screen and correlate it with the fact that you're going backwards, not forwards.

Should I use the MMS supplement, this is the question asked by many out there – & the reason is a simple one. Unfortunately there is so much bad misleading information out there regarding the miracle mineral supplement that people are beginning to question whether the product is safe to use – & will not harm them!
The FDA has vilified this potent chlorine dioxide product so much over the years that the negative information has built up out there in cyper space, so when anyone types in a search into google, there is more bad news than good news!
There is not much one can do about this, except be diligent with your own research & get to the bottom of the MMS story yourself – this is the only option. I would suggest visiting the health forums & read through testimonials from those that have had positive experiences with the product – these people do not have vested interests in the MMS supplement, & will provide you with a good unbiased testimonial of their experience – this is what I did in the beginning. Want to learn about the MMS supplement further, then please visit www.miraclemineralsupplement.com/
You will read much about how the chlorine dioxide molecule is the same as the chlorine chemical – you will read that these two compounds are exactly the same. The truth is far from this, as it is entirely not true! Both compounds are vastly different, & will effect the body entirely differently. The miracle mineral supplement (chlorine dioxide) will benefit the body & not harm tissue that is healthy, whereas chlorine will destroy ALL bodily tissue – it will not discriminate.
What I suggest is you read up about the man who discovered the MMS supplement, who goes by the name of Jim Humble at http://mmswiki.org/index.php?title=Archbishop_Jim_Humble

HAPPY VALLEY -- The mystery as to why anyone would want to get married at the Mystery Spot has been solved.
Colleen O'Neil Cobb and her husband Nathan Cobb tied the knot at the roadside attraction Monday to commemorate their first two years together, which were spent exploring America.
The free spirits traveled from San Diego to Santa Cruz with their 2-year-old daughter, Penelope, for the wedding, which took place on a small deck overlooking the entrance to the Mystery Spot. The bride wore a long, coral-colored dress and green Converse tennis shoes. The groom donned a black T-shirt with a tuxedo printed on the front, blue jeans and mint-colored Converse tennis shoes.
The ceremony was performed by Colleen's father, Tim Vinatieri. Following the brief service, the party went on a private tour of the Mystery Spot.
"We're not really a conventional couple," said Nathan Cobb.
The wedding was witnessed by two family members, a friend and three people hiking the trail that led to and beyond the deck. The friend, Alan Cecil, donned a red-and-white striped shirt and hat, along with round, black plastic glasses, and hid in the background like the character Waldo while the wedding photographer recorded the event.
The ceremony took place exactly six years after the two met and discovered they shared a dream of traveling around the U.S. and leaving their stressful lives behind. Within three months, the two had quit their jobs, sold or given away most of their belongings and purchased a Volkswagen camper van.
"I sold my car, smashed the alarm clock and we hit the road," Colleen Cobb said. "We had $500 in our pockets and never felt better, despite the fact that all of our loved ones, colleagues and friends were against this plan."
Their freewheeling travels took them all over the country and let them experience what Colleen Cobb referred to as "this elusive thing called freedom." They visited historical landmarks and breathtakingly beautiful places, stopped at roadside attractions and met strangers of all types who became friends.
Oddly enough, Nathan recalls, the couple didn't visit the Mystery Spot on their journey. The two learned about it only after they had traveled through Santa Cruz.
A family emergency brought them back to San Diego after two years on the road and a year in Santa Fe, N.M. Once back home, they decided to stay put and live a more conventional lifestyle while keeping the memories of their travels, and the lessons they learned on the road, alive.
They traded the camper in for a Jetta, rented a home, had a baby, and Nathan Cobb began working in the tech field while Colleen stayed home to care for Penelope.
Although the couple had been committed to each other and their daughter, they decided to wed so all three would share the same last name. The two thought about the various ways to create a memorable and meaningful ceremony.
"After a few months of considering just going to the courthouse, or some memorable places, just the right idea came to me," Colleen Cobb said. "Let's get married at the most famous roadside attraction in America."
The couple enjoyed a catered picnic lunch following their tour of the Mystery Spot then departed for a honeymoon in Santa Barbara. Colleen Cobb said they plan to have a reception sometime after they return to San Diego to celebrate the event with family and friends.

Trent Wagler's soaring vocals lead this quartet of rising bluegrass stars in four-part harmonies backed by skilled acoustic instrumentation.
Old Traditions, New Sounds
Virginia's Shenandoah Valley sits in the shadow of the famed Blue Ridge Mountains, a landscape associated with natural beauty and banjo picking. It is also the place that the Steel Wheels band call home. In four-part harmonies anchored by Trent Wagler's distinct tenor, these rising stars of bluegrass channel elements of blues and rock into the regional genre. After their first album, Red Wing, earned five nominations and one win at the 2010 Independent Music Awards, the group continued to gain momentum with compelling songwriting, acoustic instrumentation and rousing live shows. The Steel Wheels bring this powerful blend of energy and talent to the stage in Vermont.

Hi GTDers.
I'm gonna jump right in here because my current workload is, well, it's half the reason I'm looking at this system! I'm trying to get to grips with GTD. I'm wondering what people do with small, repeating tasks that need to be batched (or maybe they don't need to be batched, I don't know?)
A quick explanation:
I work for a charity. Part of my job involves processing gifts. I receive gift notifications into my inbox in various ways:
Some are regular monthly reports from institutions that fund us
Some are cheques (sorry, checks) that literally land in my physical inbox
Some are just email notifications that a gift has been made
Different gifts need to be processed in different ways.
When I get the various monthly reports, I just need to update my system with the gifts. I suppose the reminder to do that could be the actual report hitting my email inbox, but I'm not always in a position to action it the moment it arrives.
Cheques, or any other gift from an individual that either physically hits my inbox, or I'm notified about, are actually multi-step tasks: I need to update the systems, I need to write, print, sign then send a letter of thanks. I then need to complete audit forms and take the cheques to Accounts.
This is a small (less than 10%), mundane, but crucial part of my job which is time critical. Donors have to be thanked straight away. If a letter arrives with a donation enclosed, strictly speaking that donation should be processed and the thank-you sent out the same day. The monthly reports, however, are less critical. I just need to get them on the system - well - monthly I suppose - I don't want to generate a backlog of 2 to 3 months, but even if I did it wouldn't be the end of the world, so the 'fire fighting ' tasks tend to get prioritised.
I'm struggling to work out how to fit this part of my role into GTD. I need gift notifications and reports to not be constant interruptions, but at the same time I need to process them in a timely fashion.
My first thought was to have a 'Gift Processing - To Do' folder in my filing system, close at hand and throughout the day. When a gift notification comes in, or if there's a cheque in the post, they simply go into that 'to process file' and then I set aside a chunk of time each day (or maybe every other day) to plough through that file and 'get it to zero', as it were.
Seems simple enough. Although other GTD-ers may have suggestions?
The problem that arises (and the reason I'm writing this post) is that quite often an individual gift notification will, due to some complication or another, simply 'fall out' of the system the way I have it set up. I then don't know what to do with it. I'm not comfortable with making it a task or even a project of its own at that point, because then I end up in a situation where some of my regular gift processing work is in Toodledo in my various folder and context driven lists, and some is just sitting in the folder under the regular 'gift processing' task.
Sometimes when a donation 'falls out' of the regular task system, it ends up being quite lengthy, multi-step project with various 'waiting-fors' and actions.
Any advice on how to handle this would be greatly received.

The World Will Be Wonderful In The Year 2000!
The February 8, 1952 Delta Democrat-Times (Greenville, MS) ran a piece from Henry C. Nicholas titled "Cheer Up! World Will Be Wonderful Fifty Years From Now!" Nicholas reports on the International Congress of Astronautics in London and the convention of the American Chemical Society in New York, saying that the predictions described in the article are not those of imaginative writers of science fiction, but rather the "sober conclusions of our greatest scientists, including many of our most famous Nobel laureates."
This style of laying out fantastical advances of the future and proclaiming that they represent the conservative opinion of incredibly smart people is one of the most popular formulas of non-fiction futurism writing, dating back at least to John Elfreth Watkins, Jr. and his article for the December, 1900 issue of Ladies' Home Journal, "What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years." And this 1952 article is a terrific example of the techno-utopian thinking that so many people today consider the Golden Age of Futurism.
There will not be another world war during this century. The next 50 years will witness an amazing increase in wealth and prosperity, with a continuous rise in the world standard of living. The threat of world overpopulation will disappear with ample space for everyone, thus removing one of the long existing causes for wars and revolutions.
By the year 2000 cures for most of the diseases of man will have been discovered. The average age will be about 100 years. Journeys through space in rocket ships will be an established form of transportation, with regularly scheduled trips to the various planets. A number of man-made moons will be circling around the earth.
The article quotes Dr. James Bryant Conant, the president of Harvard University, about the future of atomic war. Interestingly, the article claims that atomic energy will have proved a failure, making way for solar energy as an "inexhaustible source of new power." This hope for the future of solar power actually wasn't a new idea, as similar predictions were made during WWII about the prevalence of solar power after the war (should the world continue to exist at all).
An atomic world war was averted in the 1950s, though by the "narrowest of margins," according to Dr. James Bryant Conant, world famous chemist and president of Harvard.
The Communist world and its opponents, which then controlled most of the world, became somewhat mellowed by "time and local conditions" and the startling new revelations of the mysteries of the universe.
Atomic energy had been a disappointment, both as a destructive weapon of war and its constructive peacetime development. In the 1970s atomic energy was replaced by solar energy as an inexhaustible source of new power.
With this development, which was fully established by 1985, the world at last realized its age-old dream of lifting most of its labor from the backs of man.
Dr. Adolph Butenandt of Germany and other Nobel laureates from Sweden, Finland, England, France and America, were in agreement with Dr. Conant that solar energy would revolutionize the world through supplying man with an inexhaustible and previously largely untapped source of cheap power.
The amount of such cheap power available to the world in the year 2000 will be beyond comprehension. The amount of sunshine energy, which yearly falls on only a few acres of land, when converted into man-made power was sufficient to supply enough electricity for a city of a million inhabitants.
The article also quotes Artturi Virtanen, a 1945 Nobel Prize recipient in chemistry. According to the piece, in the year 2000 the sea will be explored and exploited for its untapped resources, and the world's food supply will increase 50 times over.
Fifty years from now the world will be able to increase its food supply 50 times over. This increased production will come largely from enhancing the efficiency with which plants use sunlight to make sugar from water and carbon dioxide.
Fishing will not be the only crop obtained from the sea. There is more wealth in any square mile of the sea than there is in any square mile of land.
With the abundant and almost costless power of solar energy it will be possible to mine the minerals and harvest the green growth that teems in the ocean. Fresh water will be obtained from the ocean and great deserts that are near the sea, like the Sahara in Africa, will become garden spots.
Birth control is seen as the answer to the world's population crisis, as the article predicts that religious leaders will become more comfortable with the idea of birth control.
There will be no danger of world overpopulation. The size of families and nations will be regulated at will. The world population will controlled through improved birth control methods, with cheap, harmless and temporarily effective anti-fertility compounds added as one saw fit to the diet. This will remove one of the greatest dangers to world peace since the dawn of civilization.
The attitude of religious leaders regarding birth control, say these scientists, will slowly change "without any diminution of religious feeling."
Space travel is also seen as just over the horizon, as the article quotes from Wernher von Braun. It's interesting to remember that the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik was still five years away.
There was general agreement among the scientist gazing into their crystal balls that space travel will be an established means of transportation well before the year 2000.
Dr. Wernher von Braun, who was the chief developer of the V-2 rocket for Hitler and who is now working on guided missiles for the United States, said that most of the problems of space navigation will have been solved during the 1950s.
The first step toward true space navigation were earth moons — man-made satellites high in the earth's atmosphere. Persons stationed on these earth moons continuously circulating around the world, will be able to observe and report any unusual activity that threatens peace on earth.
Supported against the earth's gravitational pull by the centrifugal force of its rapid motion, only moderate power will be needed to launch space ships from these satellites which possess no atmosphere.
While the world will be changed beyond recognition in the year 2000, say these scientists, man will remain much the strange and unpredictable creature he is today. There will still be many bemoaning the passing of the "good old days."

The constant thing in these predictions is a complete naivete about society and politics. "The size of families and nations will be regulated at will." At whose will?
Despite their mockability, quite a few of these forecasts were accurate — even this one, which was optimistic indeed: "There will not be another world war during this century. The next 50 years will witness an amazing increase in wealth and prosperity, with a continuous rise in the world standard of living."
'While the world will be changed beyond recognition in the year 2000, say these scientists, man will remain much the strange and unpredictable creature he is today. There will still be many bemoaning the passing of the "good old days."'
Yeah in the year 2000, people will be all like "These atomic-powered cars suck! I'm sick of having to wear a lead suit when I drive to work! I miss my good old internal combustion engine!".
I have to agree with commentator RC (Comment #1) regarding the naivety; we want to trust those we elevate into power but the human condition continues to breed true. With each headline, we find that this 21st century is clearly dedicated to the eroding of individual rights and freedoms while creating more centralized authority.
Beyond that, we don't have a flying car of any kind, our space program here in the US has been all but gutted by our current leader and war appears just around the corner.
Oh yes, it does make one yearn for the good old days of the Cold War.
The 'amazing increase in prosperity/standard of living' is now revealed to be the product of a global Ponzi scheme and entirely mendacious spin doctoring on the same scale. Not just a South Sea Bubble, but a Planet Earth Bubble – from which it will take decades to recover.
In other words, the glowing predictions of these august scientists have failed to materialize. Mainly because (and I'm not an eco-freak!) science has not developed or not been allowed to develop sustainable energy sources like solar power.
But then free energy is free by and large – none of the Ponzi scheme architects would have been able to get rich as they have…trading humanity's future for their short-term gain.
It not so much about our scientific or technological progress,but more about how socially we are no more advanced than the early Greeks or Romans………….
"The world population will controlled through improved birth control methods, with cheap, harmless and temporarily effective anti-fertility compounds added as one saw fit to the diet."
Apprarently, this Von Braun guy was not an American religious fundie.

Painting Nature
I saw these wonderful Candied Gumballs on Casa Maria's Creative Learning Zone. Be sure to check out the both of the follow up posts, Gumball Sculptures Project 1 and Tie Dyed Gumballs, as well.
We have so many gumballs around our area, that I knew we had to try this. Our playground is literally covered with them, and the kids spend hours collecting, counting, and playing with them in a multitude of ways. It was a "no-brainer" to put some in our art center to let the children have a go at painting them.
Most of our gumballs fall with pretty long stems attached, so we didn't use toothpicks, we just held on to the stem. Instead of dipping them, we used paintbrushes to apply the acrylic paint.
With the first few balls, the kids were hesitant, and only painted portions of the balls.
They looked pretty cool individually.
After letting them dry for a few days, I added string and attached them to a nice branch to make a mobile to hang from the ceiling. ( For photographic purposes, I placed white paper behind it to show it better.)
9 comments:
We love to collect driftwood and paint in the same way...sometimes the children plant them in a pattern or shape in the sandpit, turn them into sculptures by planting into a slab of clay or making minature worlds by planting into a tub of dirt. We have also threaded and tyed them together and hung or glued and arranged directly onto recycled boards.
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of stuff! My daughter calls them "ouchies" when we see them outside lol.

Helmed by chef and owner Weldon Fizell, the gastronomic gurus at The Regatta of Cotuit infuse a menu of classic ingredients with inventive twists, earning accolades from Zagat, AAA, and Boston magazine. After finding seats in the 218-year-old mansion, taste buds stockpile rich flavors of seared Hudson Valley foie gras garnished with grilled rosemary bread and blackberry-brandy compote to rival luxurious stores inside Fort Knox. Tender Georges Bank sea scallops land on tables with a caramelized coat and an entourage of butternut-squash ravioli and pea tendrils dressed with brown butter. Ovens slowly roast lacquered half ducks to ensure a crispy skin that complements sides of ginger-scallion pancakes and sautéed asian vegetables. A sorbet intermezzo cleanses palates of edible echoes from previous courses before entrees and further represses memories of fallen soufflés from ages past. Postmeal cool downs commence as forks ferry dollops of key-lime mousse into mouths to surprise unsuspecting sweet teeth.
It would be impossible for just one chef to handle the entirety of Siena's massive menu of Italian eats. That's why Executive Chef Nick Jankowski works in close collaboration with his sous chef, Jill Sanger, to create the restaurant's hearty Old World flavors. Those run the gamut from handmade eggplant parmesan to italian meatloaf stuffed with provolone, spinach, and roasted red pepper. Before 16-inch pizzas go into the brick oven, they get topped with ingredients such as homemade meatballs, toasted garlic, and candied walnuts.
To accommodate all types of diners, Nick also alters many of his dishes for gluten-free and vegan patrons. Selections from a handpicked wine list can complement any meal, as can an extensive selection of classic and original cocktails. After meals, guests can settle their stomachs with specialty coffees, dessert martinis, or an 18-year Macallan single-malt scotch, the last chance for patrons to drink it before it goes off to college and stops calling.
Baccari's Diner dishes out homestyle helpings of classic American edibles such as pizza, pasta, and burgers from an extensive dinner menu. Delve into a basket of wings that, like gems in a jewelry store, glisten with a diverse choice of sauces ($6.95), or seek comfort for ornery appetites in the sea of sautéed onions, peppers, and cheese sauce atop the Philly cheeseburger ($8.75). Baccari's pizza spinners pile a thin 16-inch disk with a range of harmonious toppings, such as chicken, garlic, tomato, and onions on the ranch-chicken pizza ($15.95). An array of other options is available to engage picky palates, including sandwiches ($5.50–$7.95), wraps ($6.25–$7.25), and pasta dishes ($9.95–$12.95).
One of the most popular establishments featuring a cannonball hole from the War of 1812, The Nimrod Restaurant & Jazz Lounge serves upscale American cuisine within its historic walls hailing from the 17th and 18th century. Native pine, 16th-century brick fireplaces, and hand-hewn posts and beams surround guests as they feast on delicately prepared dishes, such as citrus shrimp, spinach salad, or stuffed sea scallops, by candlelight atop the elegant dining room's white tablecloths. They can also take their meals on a screened-in patio adorned with decorative fishing nets. Most nights, as guests sip on a libation plucked from an extensive wine list, they can enjoy live music and tap toes in time to the sounds of a piano or a big band.
Within a vintage New England factory building, guests at RooBar drink and dine in a contemporary setting featuring exposed-steel beams, an open kitchen, and a custom-built wood-fired oven made of beach stone. The menu is made up of specialty burgers, pasta, and innovative dishes such as coffee- and wine-braised short ribs or scallop and bacon pizzas. And to complement these creative dishes, RooBar has cultivated a warm and inviting ambiance that Boston.com describes as "upscale, all right, but it feels more whimsical than snooty."
Inside emBargo, a martini and tapas bar located in downtown Hyannis, servers arrive at lamplit tables with trays of hot and cold small plates, oysters on half shells, and seafood sliders. Each order of tapas resembles a work of art: applewood bacon and arugula add color to a plate of pan-seared scallops, and delicate drizzles of pomegranate molasses sauce spell out the word "Art!" on the grilled lamb so there's no mistaking what you're seeing. After dining on marinated artichokes wrapped in Serrano ham, diners can sip one of 20 signature martinis while listening to live entertainment, including jazz on Saturday nights and after-hours karaoke on Wednesdays.

LDS Church Responds to "Ordain Women" Movement
Twenty years ago yesterday, I went down into the waters of baptism. I did so with some important questions still unanswered, including why women were not permitted to make (or even be consulted about) significant administrative decisions or to exercise ecclesiastical authority in my chosen faith. Those restrictions did not deter me from going where God had called me to go, but they caused me to pray long and hard about my baptism beforehand.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Together with the decoration and style, made us feel at home, in a retro and labrynthic way - the hostel is huge. Plenty of bathrooms! Even the dog gave us a nice welcome at the entrance :)

The hostel needs a few repairs, specially at the bathrooms (such as the light switcher in one of them, shower tap in another one, the door at the double private room). A very simple breakfast has been provided (only bread for eating). I'm not sure if they're aware of how the HostelWorld site works, because one of the receptionists tried to charge us the full fee, without counting the deposit. The situation was fixed after discussing a bit. Despite these few details, it was a good hostel.

A couple of years ago we were asked by the Rolls Royce Owners Club to conduct a few seminars at their National Inter-Regional Meet in Orlando, FL. I was selected to go and do the seminars, and the Friday night of the event we had dinner at a nearby Rolls Royce/Lamborghini dealership. They had cleared out the showrooms, other than a couple of cars in each, and had all the food laid out, the bars set up, and the requisite tables for dining. Several people who had taken the seminars approached me and asked if I would look at something for them as they wanted to confirm what they were seeing. After a while, whenever someone approached me and asked me to "check this out" I immediately knew where they wanted to take me - to the brand spanking new, black Rolls Royce Phantom sedan sitting in the show room, full of swirls. And a sticker price just over $400,000.
But, to be fair, it had been in dealer inventory for a while and so it had it been wiped down several times, and most likely quickly washed a few times as well. One would hope that a RR dealer would do some very nice prep work prior to delivery once the car is sold, but we're never surprised to see swirls on very expensive cars.

Category: Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day Rewind and Weather in a Cup
Okay so Valentine's Day was a big success! We had so much fun. To be honest, I think this was the best Valentine's day I have given for my kiddos.
Alright so here we go. First I started the day with a little science that we desperately needed to get to. We are learning about the water cycle and different types of natural disasters. So I found this great little activity on Pinterest called weather in a cup.
The students LOVED this activity. They enjoyed seeing me add the clouds and then the rain, and then they watched the rain fall down for probably a solid 5 minutes. (At least that is what it felt like). I made some activity sheets for the students as well as labels for the cups. You can pick up your copy by clicking on the image above.
Now on to the Valentines day activities.
The first Minute To Win It game we played was Heart-A-Stack. It was a great first activity and they really enjoyed the challenge. It didn't seem like it was impossible to achieve so they were pumped. We probably played this one 6 times before they were ready to try a new game. The most they were able to stack was 12 candy hearts, which I thought was pretty amazing. Then we graphed our results from the last round (they insisted because it was their best results).
Then we played the Licorice Chew. They were full of laughter especially when I modeled how to play this one. (I wanted to make sure their chewing was on point). I don't have pictures to show only because there was no way I could edit their faces out but still show the fun. So you will have to take my word on this one. They liked measuring their pieces to see how much they had left. Can't you just hear them now…."I almost ate it all,I only had ___cm left".
The favorite Minute To Win It game of the day was the……………. Unicorn Horn. They were giggle boxes all the way through the game. I have to admit that they even had me rolling on the floor laughing. I wish I didn't have to cover up their precious faces because they are beaming with joy and excitement. After we played this one twice (each buddy got a chance to do each role) we wrote a how-to piece to explain the game. Since they loved this one so much they really enjoyed the writing activity and were correcting each other about what details they needed to include. Check out the pictures.
Alright, on to the last activity of the day I made Funfetti Valentine's Day cupcakes for the students. They iced them and then decorated with gummy shaped hearts. I always love to let the students do the decorating because some of there creations are pretty amazing, Tuesday was no exception. You have to check out the last picture, it's creative if anything else.
Well I think that about does it for my post. I hoped you enjoyed all the Valentine's day Activities and if you didn't download my Minute To Win It activities make sure you grab yourself a copy for next year!
