A parameterized JSON path language for Node.js and the browser.
var $q = require"inqury" hickory object = presidents: firstName: "George" lastName:"Washington" firstName: "John" lastName:"Adams" firstName: "Thomas" lastName:"Jefferson" firstName: "James" lastName:"Madison" firstName: "James" lastName:"Monroe" firstName: "John" lastName:"Quincy Adams" firstName: "Andrew" lastName:"Jackson" firstName: "Martin" lastName:"Van Buren" firstName: "William" lastName:"Henry Harrison" firstName: "John" lastName:"Tyler" firstName: "James" middleInitial:"K" lastName:"Polk" firstName: "Zachary" lastName:"Taylor" firstName: "Millard" lastName:"Fillmore" firstName: "Franklin" lastName:"Pierce" firstName: "James" lastName:"Buchanan" firstName: "Abraham" lastName:"Lincoln" ; hickory = $q'/p*{$.lastName == $1}'object "Jackson"pop; console.log"Found: " hickoryfirstName + " " + hickorylastName;
Inquiry is a tiny library that can perform complex searches on complicated nested collections JavaScript object graphs.
Inquiry is a functional library that builds a reusable JavaScript function from a path expression.
The path expression language supports parameters, expressions, and sub-queries.
Paths are forward slash delimited. The path part begins right after the slash
and ends at the first unescaped forward slash, open square bracket, open curly
var abe = $q'/presidents/15/firstName'objectpop;
The initial slash is optional. Paths always begin at the root object.
var abe = $q'presidents/15/firstName'objectpop;
This allows you to put most things in your paths, you only need to escape the
aforementioned terminators, a period
. if it appears at the start of the path
part, the asterisk
*, and the percent sign
% which I'm reserving for a
JSON pointer implementation.
var object = "don't you love punctuation?": "yes!": 1 "no": 0 ;var yes = $q"don't you love punctuation?/yes!"objectpop;
Escape using a backtick
`. We use a backtick and not a backslash, because
then you'd have to double those backslashes up in a JavaScript string, which
would lead to leaning toothpick
var object = "forward/slash": "curly{brace": 1 "square[bracket": 2 ;var a = $q'forward`/slash/curly`{brace'objectpop;
Paths can have a dot
. for self refernece and two dots
.. to reference the
parent just like file paths. Below is a silly example. Parent paths are more
useful in predicates and sub-queries.
var abe = $q'presidents/14/../15/./firstName'objectpop;
Now that you have a notion of what a path looks like, let's talk about invocation.
Inquiry is a function compiler. Inquiry compiles a path expression into a JavaScript function.
var $q = require'inquiry'; var firstNameByLastName = $q'presidents{$.lastName = $1}/firstName'; okbyLastNameobject 'Lincoln'pop == 'Abraham';okfirstNamesobject 'Washington'pop == 'George';
Inquiry is all functional like that. You can then call that JavaScript function however many times you'd like. You can pass the function to another function as a parameter.
However, the Inquiry compiler is quick enough that you can simply compile and invoke in a one liner.
var $q = require'inquiry'; var abe = $q'presidents{$.lastName == $1}/firstName'object 'Lincoln';okabe == 'Abraham';
In a path, you're allowed one and only one wildcard represented by a star
Wildcards help to make verbose queries terse.
var instances = $q'reservationSet/reservation/instanceSet/instance'object;
A few wildcards and the path is under control, but still readable.
var instances = $q'r*Set/reservation/i*Set/instance'object;
You're only allowed one wildcard per property name. Wildcards are used to tame verbosity, not for pattern matching. There is no good way to pattern match against property names in inquiry. You're expected to know the structure of the JSON you're querying.
You can also JSON pointer which is simply URL encoded path parts.
var object = "@#$%^&": ">": 0 "%3E": 1 ;equal$q"%40%23%24%25%5E%26/%3E"objectpop 0 'encoded';equal$q"%40%23%24%25%5E%26/`%3E"objectpop 1 'escaped encoding';
I imagine this might be helpful if you want to add paths to URLs, but I've not found a use case in the wild. If you do find, one drop me a line.
Arrays are a special case. When we visit an array, if the path step is all digits, we simply use that path step as an index.
ok $q'presidents/15'objectpoplastName == 'Lincoln' ;
If it is not all digits, we assume that we want to gather the property for every element in the array. This gathers values into the result array.
ok $q'presidents/lastName'object15 == 'Lincoln' ;
You can, of course, invoke Inquiry against an array directly. The path will be applied to each element in the array.
ok $q'lastName'objectpresidentsshift == 'Washington' ;ok $q'15/lastName'objectpresidentsshift == 'Lincoln' ;
Note that we do not use brackets
[] to indicate an array element. Brackets
are used to define sub-query predicates.
Curly braces indicate JavaScript
A JavaScript predicate is simply a JavaScript expression that is compiled to a
function that returns a boolean. If the JavaScript expression that evaluates to
true, the path is included in the result set.
Each step in the path can include a single JavaScript predicate.
A predicate expression references the current object using the varaible
var abe = $q'{$.lastName == "Lincoln"}'objectpresidents15pop;
When a predicate expression is used with an array, it is tested against all the members of the array.
var abe = $q'presidents{$.lastName == "Lincoln"}'objectpop;
A predicate expression references arguments using the special variables
$256, each variable representing an argument by position.
var abe = $q'presidents{$.lastName == $1}'object 'Lincoln'pop;
You can negate a JavaScript predicate using an exclamation point
var abe = $q'presidents!{$.lastName != "Lincoln"}'objectpop;
A predicate expression can reference the index of an array using the special
var abe = $q'presidents{$i == 15}'objectpop;
When you invoke Inquiry directly against an array, you apply a JavaScript predicate by defining it immediately.
var abe = $q'{$i == 15}'objectpresidentspop;
Square brackets define sub-query predicates. A sub-query predicate is a query that is performed in the context of each object that matches the path, current object or against each object in an array if the object that matches the path is an array. If the sub-query returns any objects at all, the predicate is considered true and the object matches.
var datacenter = instances: id: 1 running: true tags: key: 'name' value: 'server' key: 'arch' value: 'i386' id: 2 tags: key: 'name' value: 'balancer' key: 'arch' value: 'x86_64' id: 3 running: true tags: ;var tagged = $q'instances[tags/key]'datacenter;oktaggedlength == 2;
In the above, for each
instance the sub-query looks for
tags/key. This
matches any of the
instance objects who's
tags array has an object with a
key property, regardless of value.
You can nest JavaScript predicates inside sub-query predicates.
var server = $q'instances[tags{$.key == "name" && $.value == $1}]'datacenter 'server'pop;
In the above, for each
instance object we look in the
tags array for a
name property with the value "server."
You can use parent operator
.. to compare against a parent in a sub-query
predicate, or multiple parent operators
../.. to compare against other
ancestors. It's just like
.. in file paths.
However, Inquiry will dive into an array so, so to get back out of an
array, you need to use
../... Use
.. to go to the other array elements and
../.. to go up to the object that contains the array.
If you go up beyond the root, bad things happen. Don't do it.
The following will get the tags of all instances that have a
running property.
var tags = $q'instances/tags[../../running]'instances;oktagslength == 2;
Granted, the above is not terribly useful since it returns the tags, but not the instance itself, so the tags have no context. Really useful queries of parents and siblings require capturing the properties of the object at the current path with the properties of a parent or sibling.
A sub-query predicate can reference the context of query that invoked it using
the variable
$$. This variable references the context object of the outer
query at when the sub-query predicate was invoked. The variable
$$i contains
the index of the context object of the outer query when the sub-query predicate
was invoked.
Here we look for any president that shares a first name with any another president.
var dup = $q'presidents[..{$.firstName == $$.firstName && $i != $$i}]'object;okduplength == 7;okdupduplength - 1firstName = 'James';
We compared the first name of the outer president with the first names of all the other presidents, excluding the outer president himself by his index.
Here we look for a president that does not share a first name with any other president.
var uniq = $q'presidents![..{$.firstName == $$.firstName && $i != $$i}]'object;okuniqlength == 9;okuniquniqlength - 1firstName == 'Abraham';
If you're wondering, yes, you can nest deeper than a single sub-query; a
variable and a
$$$i variable will be created.
When you invoke Inquiry directly against an array, you apply a JavaScript predicate by defining it immediately.
var uniq = $q'![..{$.firstName == $$.firstName && $i != $$i}]'objectpresidents;okuniqlength == 9;okuniquniqlength - 1firstName == 'Abraham';
Inquiry is a minimal path language for maximum effect. Error reporting is minimal, too. If you give it a bad pattern, it will raise an exception, but it doesn't offer much in the way of suggestions to fix the pattern. Diagnostics of that sort would be expensive.
Most of your patterns will be simple and obvious, so you're not going to want to pay for the complexity of details diagnostics. If you're having trouble with a complicated pattern, try building it incrementally, adding the bits and pieces to the pattern so you'll see when it breaks.

With a big-time release date of December 21st, 2012, "Hunter Killer" was meant to be a very sharp quiver in Relativity Media's bow during the next holiday season. Alas, director Phillip Noyce has bowed from the project, according to Moviehole. Adapted from the Don Keith and George Wallace novel "Firing Point," the story centered on a renegade Russian admiral attempting a coup, and the American sub commander and Navy SEAL tasked with stopping him.
It seemed as if the project was very much in line with Noyce's other films, particularly his most recent, "Salt," and Noyce apparently thought so too, as the source claims Noyce felt it was "too close to other films he had already made." Instead, Noyce is climbing aboard "Timeless," also at Relativity, and a project he was linked to in November. The story follows a man who loses his wife only to find her massive inheritance, and then using it to create a time machine to see her one last time. Take that, kids' college fund!
The question is, does Relativity grab another director to jump aboard? "Hunter Killer" was currently slated to go against "World War Z" and (maybe?) "The Lone Ranger." Or does "Timeless" take its place? Noyce is also reportedly developing "Above Suspicion," a script he discovered in 2008 centered around an FBI agent who falls for an informant and then gets accused of murder to cover it up. Which seems weird to us, because "Phillip Noyce's Above Suspicion" sounds like a movie right out of 2005 starring Michael Douglas and Rebecca DeMornay or something. The director also has a couple of other options as well, having recently signed on to direct a remake of "Bloodsport" for some reason and at the end of last year was looking over the animal conservation flick "Our Wild Life." Which project will gain enough steam to move forward as Noyce's next remains to be seen.

Has music piracy been reduced by services like Spotify and others?

I've been buying physical copies since I've been into music at all, though I certainly also pirated my fair share a few years back. The only time I used Spotify was when I was enrolled in a Rock History course for a couple weeks a while ago and we had to listen to playlists thrown together by the professor. I thought the service was cool, but I had no desire to use it outside of my class.
With me, the problem with getting any kind of music for free is that I feel zero obligation to give it attention. When I spend money on an album I'm thinking, "This was an investment. I want this album to have been worth my money, therefore I will give it the time and attention it deserves." Sure I do strike out every now and again, but I also find myself really loving albums that I may have otherwise not given a second listen like The Tenant by Ludicra, or Abra Kadavar by Kadavar or even Times of Grace by Neurosis. I feel a similar obligation when I recieve a promo- "This band gave me an album in exchange for a review, it deserves my full attention as a critic."
If I do illegally download anything these days, it's usually somewhat obscure albums that are completely out of print, like the first two Impaled albums. Sometimes if I buy a vinyl record and it turns out to be physically fucked (warped, scratched, really noisy etc) I'll download a digital copy.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Former University of Alabama All-American and NFL veteran E.J. Junior is one of three members that will comprise the 2007 Senior Bowl Hall of Fame class.
Junior will be joined by Jake Plummer (Arizona State) and Hines Ward (Georgia) at this year's induction ceremony. The trio will be formally inducted during a reception at The Country Club of Mobile on Friday, January 26, 2007.
All three inductees will also be introduced to the crowd during pre-game ceremonies prior to the 2007 Under Armour Senior Bowl game set for Ladd-Peebles Stadium on January 27.
"When you consider that our Hall of Fame represents just the top two percent of the over 4,000 outstanding collegiate and NFL stars who have played in the Senior Bowl since 1950, it puts into perspective just how special this group really is," said Senior Bowl President Steve Hale.
Established in 1988, the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame, sponsored by Regions Bank and Mobile Gas, seeks to pay tribute to the many former Senior Bowl players, coaches and administrators who have made lasting contributions to the game of football.
Junior brought his talents to the 1981 Senior Bowl following a stellar Crimson Tide career during which he was part of two national championship teams, was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and a finalist for the Lombardi Trophy in 1980.
"E.J. Junior is one of the best linebackers in Alabama history," Hale added. "He played on a number of championship teams with the Crimson Tide."
Selected by the St. Louis Cardinals with the fifth overall selection of the first-round in the 1981 NFL Draft, he went on to enjoy a 13-year NFL career with the Cardinals, Dolphins, Buccaneers and Seahawks. A two-time Pro Bowl selection with the Cardinals, he was regarded as one of the game's best linebackers and top pass rushers throughout his career and was named to the first-ever All-Madden team.
He recorded 25 quarterback sacks during eight seasons with the Cardinals from 1981-88, which was the third highest career total in team history.
Following his playing career, he became an ordained minister and has also worked in the NFL as an assistant coach with the Seattle, Minnesota and Jacksonville. He also worked in the front office at Miami. He currently works as an assistant coach at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri.
Junior is the 11th former UA player to be inducted into the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame, joining other Bama greats Lee Roy Jordan and Joe Namath (1988), Ozzie Newsome (1989), Cornelius Bennett and Paul W. Bryant (1993), Bob Baumhower (1995), Derrick Thomas (1999), Jeremiah Castille (2003), Richard Todd (2004), Ray Perkins (2005) and Tony Nathan (2006).

I apologise for the short hiatus. Everything is pretty hectic but normal service should resume shortly. I haven't forgotten you, in fact my life has felt somehow bottomless without the documenting of my every thought and movement. I'm sure you've felt similarly.
I'm in Brighton and Gareth and I have spent the weekend cleaning the flat from top to bottom (it's a flat, so that makes no sense), swapping the bedrooms around and re-doing the living room, ready for Gareth's new housemates. We are (to use the technical term) pooped.
Dinner is being cooked for me now and I am looking forward to the eating of it and the watching of X Factor.
See you tomorrow.

Hi all,
Apologies if this is covered somewhere, I have been trolling the forums and googling, but I am getting a little confused on some of the terminology.
My current setup is:
I have a domain registered, lets say fiftynine.co.za and hosted by webhost. Since I am in South Africa, I only have 2GB of hosted space.
I have ADSL connection, no static IP, with a max upload speed of 512k. I have 10 users sharing this through an Ubuntu box acting as router, NAT and proxy.
I have an Exchange server set up that is basically allowing internal mail and that is syncing and backing up mail. Some users have desktops and laptops and the exchange server syncs their mail. This also provides some shared calendars and contacts using public folders.
My internal domain has been setup as fiftynine.local.
I would like to use Zimbra, partly because Exchange is a resource hog and expensive and doesn't talk nicely to the 5 Mac clients. Also Entourage is terrible. Sending internal mail required changing the mail account you used, and if you made a mistake, it would obviously not send out to the internet.
I am running a Zimbra VM on the linux server currently, and have set up accounts and shared calendars. I set that internal domain to fifty.nine. Now I need some help with mail. I tried to set up an external SMTP relay, but I am getting an error that my domain doesn't have an A or MX record.
Essentially I would like advice on how to set this up so that Zimbra would be available worldwide, and all mail functions available. I should be able to figure out passing Zimbra through Apache on the router, but as far as setting up my domain, I have no idea. I have read about split-dns, but I'm not sure what it achieves, two domains or 1 domain handled by different DNS servers...
Can I set up Zimbra to handle the domain fiftynine.co.za or must it be an arb domain because it is internal. I would still like to make use of my hosts mail servers for max reliability, becuase ADSL may be too slow and unreliable and power can be an issue in South Africa.
Please point me towards the best setup to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Cuba is not the enemy
THE EDITOR, Sir:
Yesterday, November 13, marked another occasion that member states of the United Nations voted for a lifting of the genocidal blockade of our sister nation, Cuba, an imposition by the United States government for the last 50 years.
This year marked the 20th consecutive occasion where the mass of humanity represented by their governments, with 186 of 191 member nations voting for the lifting of the economic blockade of Cuba.
Two countries, namely the US and Israel, have voted against the resolution, while abstaining were the Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands and Palau Islands.
Our country, Jamaica, to its eternal credit, has voted consistently with the majority of the peoples of the world and have even upped the ante over the last three years by having this important resolution debated in our Parliament.
The question I have to ask our brother and president of the US, Barak Obama, is: What is taking you so long to turn your face against reaction and to support progressive humanity in lifting this anachronistic blockade which undermines the very foundation on which he was elected in 2008 and again endorsed on November 6, 2012.
Americans' recent endorsement of Mr Obama is a clear indication that the interest of the majority will ultimately trump minority interest, even in challenging times, and especially where your weapon is the truth.
Cuba is not your enemy. Brother Barack, do the right thing, as the eyes of the world are on you.

Q: My old laptop is dying, so I removed all the documents I care about to a thumb drive. What would be the best way to dispose of the laptop and its hard drive without a security risk?
— Gerri Tyler
A: I urge you to take your laptop to a recycler. Many of them guarantee that they will erase all your data from the device. That's a promise made by Interconnection.org, a Seattle nonprofit that refurbishes computer equipment.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...
Most Read Stories
If you don't trust promises, you can always wipe the drive yourself. Don't just format the drive, however, since formatting actually leaves the data on the drive.
What you need is a program that actually writes over every sector of the drive. A number are free. Just search for "wipe disk."
Q: I recently bought a new Dell Inspiron computer. I already have an HP LaserJet 1012 printer.
However, when I try to print something it does not work. When I hit "Print," I am prompted to check devices including adding a printer. When I click on that, it takes me to a screen listing devices that are installed and one of them is the HP LaserJet 1012 printer. When I click on the printer listed, it asks if I want to remove the device. Any ideas?
— Roy James, Edmonds
A: Try uninstalling the printer and then reinstalling it. This is different from simply reinstalling drivers. It will make sure the printer is registered in all the right places in the Windows registry.
And make sure you're installing the most recent drivers for the printer.
Q: I have an HP 6767, 64-bit desktop running Windows 7. Recently the hard disk began to fail and I took it to Best Buy Geek Squad. They were unable to retrieve data from the hard drive and sent it to the squad's data-recovery place in Tennessee.
That site, in turn, recovered almost all the data and sent it back to me on a new external hard drive. The computer itself had already had a new hard drive installed by Best Buy, and it used the system recovery disks I made after I bought the computer four years ago.
Today, twice now, in the bottom right hand corner of the screen there is the following message: "Windows 7, Build 7601, This copy of Windows is not genuine."
What do you think?
— Lee Libby, Mukilteo
A: Windows — especially PC makers' versions of Windows — records certain data about the computer when it is installed, and if that data is changed, you may see that message. If Windows was an "OEM version" that was installed on the machine when you bought it, the license may or may not cover it when you change certain hardware.
If you have a full retail version of Windows, you should be able to get rid of that message by calling Microsoft for reactivation. You can find details about how to do that at:
Q: I recently found an ASUS Transformer (T100) tablet that appeared to be perfect for a specific use I had in mind that involves software that monitors a diesel engine. The tablet, minus the keyboard that comes with it, mounts perfectly and works with the software just fine.
To my disappointment and surprise, however, I now find that the tablet has just one micro USB port it uses for both charging and data input and that it will not do both at the same time, even if the port is connected to a splitter with the charger as one input and the data connect to the other.
This seriously degrades the usefulness of the computer to whatever the battery life will handle. I have discovered this issue also exists with other brands of tablet. Others have separate charging ports, but they are more than twice as expensive.
The keyboard that comes with the ASUS has a full-size USB port so when connected that solves the problem. However, having the keyboard attached ruins the computer for the application because of the way the monitor needs to be mounted. That is the beauty of the tablet configuration.
Are you aware of any workaround for using this single micro USB port for both charging and data at the same time?
— Walt Dews
A: What you need is a powered micro USB hub.
The bad news is that I'm not aware of any currently on the market.
The good news is that someone just got fully funded at Kickstarter to develop one. You can check it out at:

Well, I can almost guarantee that San Antonio in August will be lethally hot! <snip I highly do NOT recommend any sort of wool or heavy cloth that will hold heat. After all, we do LIKE the guy, right? (g) Cya!
The Brinmeister lives in San Diego, and it cools off to, what?, about 50 F in the coolest days of January? I don't think it ever freezes there. Now the other side of that is, if he's used to living in the semi-tropics, and goes to anywhere north of the tropic of Capricorn (sp?), he'll be freezing his buns off. Unless anyone has big objections, I think I'll look for a brown cotton.
The best news is, I found a camel down fabric last weekend for the shawl!! Barbara, I'll send it along to you. It's wonderfully soft, and in a camel brown (now there's a surprise). In my arrogance, I think it could pass for g'Kek spun cloth.
Hrmmmm.... camel sounds just 'odd' enough that you may be able to pass it off as g'Kek! Great idea!
Enough!!! See, I told you I tend to pontificate. I'm happy to see everyone's clicking along. ...and Lee, I'd love to see you in a halter top!!
Jo Ann, You don't want to know how much alcohol that little sight will cost you!! I'm not saying that it can't be done.... (g)BTW: Has anyone located a staff? I just can't imagine a Jijoan human w/out his staff, esp a sage! I have a real nice walking stick that I can donate if needed. It's about six feet tall and made of a dark wood, about as thick as my wrist (2-3 inches). It also has a deep groove carved into a spiral down the length of the shaft that shows the much lighter colored inner wood and looks very cool. There's no metal tip or any material other than the wood used in it.
Oh, Lee, it takes a-l-c-o-h-o-l to get you into a tank top! NOW I understand.... makes me wish I were coming to San Antonio all the more. Where were you when we were discussing single malt scotch? Or do you just do the fruity, girlie drink thing? =+))
Fasteners - agree with the wood/shell but definitely want to see the Urs-forged clasps. Of course, the Buyurs may have left a natural velcro symbiote around.BTW, Mudfoot will probably be a synthetic furry creature (finally able to trap some of those elusive polys, related as they are to Italian Vinyls). Yes, the tendrils will be a challenge, but I thought something like covered pipe cleaners would work.
As to the natural Buyurs velcro....I don't even wanna think about how they would have bioengineered that one (Brett, do you have slugs in Australia? Or are they singularly Northwestern? If you have them, you'll know what I'm talking about, if you don't, well, my kids tell me I've been smoking crack! =+)).
Four inch slugs? Why so small? Where I grew up, the LEECHES were bigger than that. Not to mention the mosquitoes/spiders/worms. Anyway, I was thinking of something vegetative like long, flat burrs. Couldn't walk through anywhere as a kid without acquiring those.BTW, did I mention that I've ridden a camel?
Did anyone else get to look at the picture of the
library by Robert Hurt? I thought it was beautiful. John, if you're still out
there, did you see the symbol? It looks a lot like the other one, but with
more stylized arms.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na I found a bat!!! (I think that's the right number of na's -- you know the tune, the movie is coming out this weekend, I think).I FINALLY got ahold of the batwoman, and she has enough hand carded wool bats from the sheep she raises to quilt a vest. I'm sending her a check tomorrow (I've even already written the letter and it's sitting beside me here on my desk as I write this), so I should have the bats by this weekend or early next week at the latest.
Am I a goddess or what? I even got the checkbook balanced and all the bills paid *last* week when I said I had to, instead of procrastinating well into this week as usual. The best thing is the bats are only 75¢ each, and I'll need about six of them. I'm flying!!!!
So far it looks like 60:40 that I will be in SA for W/con. But plans are still vague. I'll contact the Brin-L group if/when I know for sure.
OK, well, we'll go with plan B if he's not there. Anyone write down plan B????
Unto the DB Sewing Circle and wannabe deity Club does Jo Anne send good news:The bats just arrived! Unlike Barbara's bats, who just appear and eat bugs, mine came by UPS and are wrapped in tissue! (Barbara, we do have some mammalian bats, too. We even put up a bathouse a couple of years ago, but it's hard to get morning sun on our property, and bathouses need morning sun, I'm told. I don't think we have any residents in the bathouse, yet. At least there wasn't any guano last time I looked!)
I bet Barbara has to use really small scissors on her male bats or those rubber bands that come with braces!!! Grin!!
Eythain -- I agree with Barb, if plan A doesn't work out, go to plan B. I think paper would be fine, considering how precious it was on Jijo. Sarah's Dad (I can't remember his name right now) was the paper maker and all.
No, just pulling your collective legs. But I have news, and of the better variety this time. The wooden plaque might go after all. My father found what I needed. The basic system is similar to drilling, but instead of going down, you can move it on top of the wood, thus carving letters or whatever. It's too late to test it now, since I'm busy packing, but it's looking good. The problem was getting something thin enough, and the one I'm sitting with in my hands (Well, not actually, it would be rather unpractical to type while holding it, but at least I can see it from where I sit... if I move a bit that is. Of course the ever-popular x-ray vision would also do the trick)
Hi folks, We're still interested in selling one (possibly two) memberships to this year's world science fiction convention, in San Antonio, Labor Day weekend. Dropping the price to $80. (It's $150 at the door.)
Looks like the DB is pulling out of San Antonio (must have heard about Lee). Do we have a plan B? (or even Plan 9 from Outer Space?).How can we be expected to be conspirators if the victim (I mean, recipient) fails to cooperate?
Jo Anne wrote: ROFL -- Lee *and* his halter top, that is! Wait a second here!!Yeah, wait a second!! It was MY halter top! (A navy blue one, at that; and I have nice breasts, I've been told by at least 4 people this year alone, and others have implied it! So it can't be the halter top!)
I did ask Barbara to contact ************ about Plan B. I think he'll have the best updated and inside information.So, Lee won't be in the halter top, and Julia looks great in hers. Julia, the halter-top wearing will have to be your job, as I could actually cause people to pass out, swallow their tongues, the skies to open etc.,etc.,etc., if I ever even *tried* to wear one. I have worked many years at acquiring this goddess body of mine, at the cost of wearing halter tops, bathing suits, or anything else with spandex in it =+)).
I have strong feelings AGAINST using velcro or velcro-wannabes, it's just too... I don't know.... It doesn't feel right. But then again the two parts of IS that really irked me were the Gilligan-style photocopier they were using, and the lava flow that doubled as one of those three-dee holograms you can get in the mall.
Lee, we never did hear about the walking stick (hint).
Does anyone know the latest scoop on The Brinner and The Worldcon? I'll tell y'all my dilemma, and then you can tell me what y'all think.I have been in a blue funk because I called the woman with the "Urs cast" bronze Celtic Knotwork hook and eye closures and she's gone this entire month. (I was waiting for her to show up at an event, and she never did, so I finally called).
OK, so I'm a slacker, I actually called her and got the bad news on the 4th of August and have been pouting ever since.
Goddess you have not let anyone down. Real life has the habit of taking over...now unless some of us are virtual people and not flesh and blood, we all understand. When I was in Orygun I saw the fasteners under discussion and I think they are well worth waiting for!! I agreed to the zipper only to make sure the Goddess of the Willamette knew that what ever she decided on was the best!

i recently took a drug test and tested positive for percocet which i did take one perc less then 24 hrs before the test but i have a prescription for percocet. but they are sending it to a lab and im nervous because about 50 hrs ago i had about 30mg of oxycottin for my back. so my question is will the lab just test the percocet that i tested positive for or will they test every thing in the urine and be able to tell the difference between the perc and the OC? also do u think i will test positve for OC when they test it in the lab? also i am not an every day user its only the 3rd time ive taken OC in a year. thank you

Your urine sample in the lab will probably test for everything. It will be able to detect the oxycodone in both the Percocet and OxyContin tablets. The important thing for you is the duration of time from when you took the tablets and when you gave your urine sample.It is difficult to determine the duration of detectability of oxycodone in urine drug screens. However, based on pharmacokinetic data, the approximate duration of detectability for a single dose of oxycodone is roughly estimated to be one to two days following drug exposure. Given that you say you took the OxyContin tablet 50 hours ago you will probably be ok and it won't be detected,however it is likely that it will detect the oxycodone, from the Percocet tablet that you took less than 24 hours ago.
13 Jul 2009
It will come up as the same drug. And as levels meaning amount you should have in system the only TRUE way of knowing that is NOT through urinalysis but Indeed through blood test. To touch base on the comment of Morphine. I believe morphine and codeine are tested in their respected classes as a seperate.

Office of Recruitment and Admissions
at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination Policy
In accordance with Texas Senate Bill 1107 (SB 62, effective October 1, 2013), Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will require all new students under the age of 22 to provide certified proof from a health practitioner that they have received a valid bacterial meningitis vaccination or booster within the last five years. Students must submit their proof of vaccination or a booster at least 10 days prior to the first day of class for the intended term of enrollment.
A new entering student includes a first-time student of an institution of higher education or private or independent institution of higher education and includes a transfer student, or a student who previously attended an institution of higher education before January 1, 2012, and who is enrolling in the same or another institution of higher education following a break in enrollment of at least one fall or spring semester.
Students are strongly encouraged to obtain the bacterial meningitis vaccination before entering the United States or moving to the Corpus Christi area. A list of U.S. approved meningococcal vaccines is available: English , Español
Important Facts about Bacterial Meningitis
Students who fail to submit certified proof of vaccination or a valid booster within the required timeframe will be unable to register for their intended term. Please note, vaccinations older than 5 years will require a booster and all bacterial meningitis vaccinations and boosters must be administered by a health practitioner authorized by law to administer an immunization.
Valid Proof of Vaccination
- A complete Evidence of Vaccination against Bacterial Meningitis Form. Use this form if you plan to obtain your vaccination somewhere other than your personal physician's office.
- A document bearing the signature or stamp of the physician or his/her designee, or public health personnel (must include the month, day, and year the vaccination was administered).
- An official immunization record generated from a state or local health authority (must include the month, day, and year the vaccination was administered).
- An official record received from school officials, including a record from another state (must include the month, day, and year the vaccination was administered).
Valid Proof of Vaccination Exemption
- An affidavit or a certificate signed by a physician who is duly registered and licensed to practice medicine in the United States, in which it is stated that, in the physician's opinion, the vaccination required would be injurious to the health and well-being of the student.
- Conscientious Objection Form: An affidavit signed by the student stating that the student declines the vaccination for bacterial meningitis for reasons of conscience, including a religious belief. A conscientious exemption form from the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) can be filled online on the following link: TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES FORM. Please complete the instructions provided on the conscience exemption form. Please allow several weeks for delivery.

- The student is enrolled in a dual credit course which is taught at a public or private K-12 facility not located on a higher education institution campus; or
- The student is incarcerated in a Texas prison.
Students are encouraged to visit their primary care provider prior to enrollment.

Nope, not just you. They didn't even do a good job of gluing it either.
I wonder if the eagle will file a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the plastic surgeon for not attaching the beak in an aesthetic manner???
Or maybe the eagle is just happy to have his beak back...

Time until an animal rights group files a suit on behalf of the eagle?
The morons that did that probably glued it shut on top of that.
Thankfully we have smart people in this country dedicating themselves to causes like fixing an eagle's beak.
LOL--should probably read the little blurb first:
A final beak made of tougher material will be created and attached later.
We should hot glue the guy that shot that eagle's *** cheeks together, is what I think.
I wonder what Bald Eagle tastes like, anyway???
I'm baaack! See my Hot Milk For Breakfast blog under Social Groups for more details

at some point or another been a regular at the show. This grand event is scheduled to be from April 18th to 27th, the nine day extravaganza will hopefully open doors to many international automobile innovations and successive inspirations.
The platform fulfills all the quintessential requirements of an auto expo - New York International Auto Show was an event the whole world stops to witness. It housed some of the amazing automobiles since time could be recollected. Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mini Cooper Convertible, Hyundai Accent, Audi TT, Chevrolet Beat Concept version, Suzuki SX4, Mercedes Benz E Class, Honda Civic, BMW Z4 and the list keeps going on and on only limited by the data detailing the launches from 1900 to 2013.
When a car comes out it creates enough impact for automaker that it helps them discover new territories where their car might sell better than they thought. For instance, Chevrolet Beat might not be the best car to be sold like hotcakes in US but it certainly proved to be a show-stopper in India. Such details can only be known by observing the world interest during such events.
Talking about this year's preparations, the organizers are already burning midnight oil and are making sure that everything goes well. The show will house some exciting launches, some interesting facelifts and some ground breaking concept cars along with the technologies which will be announced just acting as an icing on the cake. Subaru WRX Concept is expected to have a World Debut while BMW X4 Sports Coupe along with BMW Alpina B6 are supposed to showcased by BMW. Moving on to the concept segment, BMW concept X5 eDrive is also expected to be displayed. The display by the Mazda features Miata, a car whose platform is designed by Alfa Romeo.
Marking the 25 year anniversary of the vehicles launch, 15 historic vehicles by the brand will be put to display. Hondas luxury subsidiary Acura is coming up with the Acura TLX. Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Durango, Honda Odyssey, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima are some of the vehicles whose facelifts are expected to be launched at the mega event.
One thing is sure about the New York International Auto Show is the century old tradition. A belief that only the finest automobiles come out and everyone can get to see what their favorite manufacturer is up to lately. With so many cars coming up and

When should I stop co-sleeping with my newborn baby?
We have a in-bed sleeper that we sleep my 1 month-old in, but we also have a nice big crib set up in the nursery that has yet to be slept in. I'm afraid of moving him into the other room at nights to sleep thinking that I might not hear him wake for feedings or changings. When is a good time to transition to him sleeping in his crib and out of our bed?

* Co-sleeping enables new parents to get more sleep, and also holds many benefits for babies, including decreased SIDS risk, secure attachments, more attention, and more independence and confidence later in life. * Co-sleeping infants and children fall asleep faster, and stay asleep better. If, upon awakening, a baby finds himself snuggled close to his mother, he may go back to sleep instead of crying out. In addition, sleep studies have shown that mothers and babies sleeping together tend to have synchronized sleep cycles, often preventing Baby from waking Mother from deep sleep. * Co-sleeping promotes breastfeeding. Infants who sleep next to their mothers nurse more frequently during the night than breastfeeding infants who sleep apart from their mothers, many times without the mother even remembering in the morning! Night feedings help delay the mother's fertility from returning, which helps with natural child spacing.*Finally, parents who work during the day find co-sleeping to be a way to reconnect with their children at night. Co-sleeping can make a family feel closer, and siblings who share a sleep space quarrel less during the day.

my son is 6 mos and we still co sleep. i enjoy it althought friends and family are telling me its bad. i dont see why and i dont want him to leave the bed. night time feedings are easier and i feel that he is safer with me....i worry less so i sleep betterposted 12/12/2007 by RGreenway
My son still sleeps with me and he is almost 17 mths old. I think it is me more than it is him. I don't think there is anything wrong with it as long as everyone is happy. I slept with my parents until around 3 or so and I am perfectly fine. If everyone would just go with the flow instead of trying to go by the book all the time everyone would be more relaxed. Just do what comes natural.posted 05/30/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm so happy to hear other people have their babies in their bed! When you tell others your baby sleeps with you, their disapproval is written all over their faces...it's discouraging and makes me feel like I shouldn't have my child in bed with me. I love it! I know he is safe, still breathing, not choking, etc... I guess maybe I'm a nervous first time mom! Thanks for making me feel...somewhat normal! :)posted 08/06/2008 by BeckyLS
Well, I co-sleep with my son ... he is 13 months. I still breastfeed at night, he sleeps through the night, and I feel more secure with him there. He has always woken up 2-3 times a night when he is in the crib. I get the looks, too, but I just do what I feel is best for MY son ... he'll sleep in his own bed in his own time. He's a very calm child and people comment on it constantly. I attribute it to breastfeeding and co-sleeping. He's well-bonded and well-adjusted so far!posted 09/30/2008 by kittykel
My husband and I are living in a one bedroom apartment, so we'll have our baby's crib in our bedroom. Even if I had her in a seperate room, I would still have her sleep in her crib. Other mothers I've talked to seem to think I'm a horrible, selfish person since I don't plan on co-sleeping, which I think is ridiculous. I don't think there is any "right" or "wrong" way to co-sleep, not co-sleep, whatever. Every mom/ family should do what is best for their individual situations. Mothers criticizing each other's every decision gets SO old....ugh...I'm sure it doesn't get any better either, lol.posted 03/01/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
i have two children, an eight year old daughter and a three month old son. i did what felt natural to me, as a mommy and i co slept/sleep with my children (at 3, my daughter wanted her own bed). my daughter is very independent, driven, laid back, not neurotic, kind, caring, loving, secure, creative, and basically rocks all the way around. because of co sleeping? i dont know, but i do know, i have always answered everyone of her cries and her needs have always been met. she is my child, i am her mommy, its my job! with my son, i plop my boob out and sleep through the night as he nurses when he wants too, as much or little as he wants. i cant imagine our bed any other way. and i can and will keep getting it on with my husband. we do it in the kitchen, the bathroom, outside, the garage. :) its all good- we just do what feels right and trust our instincts :)posted 11/29/2010 by expectingmum
our son is 4months old and we've co-slept since day one. first we had a bassinet next to the bed but most nights on his first nursing time i would bring him into bed with us and there he'd sleep. now i have his giant crib in the room with one side rail taken off and it tied to the bed so it won't roll away. he still gets pulled all the way into bed most nights. people whohave those disapproving looks about co-sleeping just have not done their research, same goes for circumcision, vaccines, and every other decision there is. but to answer the question....there is NO right time to stop co-sleeping...nor is there NO right way to sleep. it is whatever works for you as a family.posted 09/24/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Prior to the late 1700s cosleeping was the norm in all societies (Davies, 1995). Today in many cultures the practice of cosleeping continues, with babies seen as natural extensions of their mothers for the first one or two years of life, spending both waking and sleeping hours by her side. Cosleeping is taken for granted in such cultures as best for both babies and mothers, and the western pattern of placing small infants alone in rooms of their own is seen as aberrant (Thevenin, 1987). Comprehensive studies of western nonreactive cosleeping, defined as family cosleeping from birth as a custom, rather than as the result of childhood sleep disturbances, are not yet available. However medical and anthropological evidence suggests the western movement to solitary infant sleeping in the past two centuries may have consequences in the areas of attachment security and physical safety.posted 02/27/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
My bouncing baby boy is 4 months old and the joy of my life. I miss him so much when I am away from him working for about 11 hours a day that I cannot help but to cuddle with him @ night! He knows his Mommy is there and somehow wiggles his way over to me every night. He curls up in a little ball and is comforted by a pat of the butt or me holding his hand. I would not change this time I spend with him for anything. I am very conscious that he is laying right beside me. I get mixed opinions from family, friends, and coworkers, but this time I spend with my little guy is so valuable because I do have to be away from him for such long periods of time during the week. I love waking to his smilling face and being able to give him kisses right away! I no longer care what people think or say!posted 12/15/2010 by Christina139

CLEVELAND (AP) — A suburban Cleveland man is charged in federal court with embezzling $2.9 million from the state's largest health insurance company, Medical Mutual of Ohio.
Sixty-nine-year-old Joseph Satava (suh-TAW'-vuh) of Sheffield Lake is accused of creating checks using names of people insured by Medical Mutual. Prosecutors say he would forge the person's signature on a check, counter-sign and deposit it into an ATM.
Satava allegedly created nearly 1,400 checks between 1997 and 2013. Prosecutors say the embezzlement went unnoticed for years because the checks were drawn on an account that handled billions of dollars in transactions.
Satava was charged Monday in an information. An information generally indicates that a defendant has agreed to plead guilty and to cooperate with prosecutors.
His attorney could not be immediately reached for comment.

While the world's attention is fixed on the race for president and second-in-command, the fate of the third person in the line of White House succession also will be decided Tuesday, as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi hopes her Democratic Party defies the odds to recapture the chamber.
Whether she would remain as party caucus leader otherwise is one of Capitol Hill's biggest current mysteries.
Mrs. Pelosi was forced to surrender her role as House speaker to John A. Boehner after her party suffered crushing defeats in the 2010 congressional elections. At the time, many expected the California Democrat to step down from leadership. She didn't, choosing instead to run — successfully — for House Democratic leader.
And if Democrats fail to win back the House on Tuesday, which is the expected scenario, speculation again will ramp up as to whether Mrs. Pelosi will remain as the chamber's top Democrat.
But the savvy, tight-lipped lawmaker has given no hints she is considering stepping down. When asked in September on CNN whether she would run again for House Democratic leader if her party gained seats but failed to win the chamber, Mrs. Pelosi said it would be up to her caucus members to decide.
"I don't ever predicate anything when losing," she said. "I feel very confident about our ability to win. Who will lead the party after that is up to my members."
She added that after her party's historic defeats in the 2010 midterm elections, "I actually didn't choose to run [for minority leader]. My members chose that I would run last time."
And if the caucus should continue to languish in the minority another two years, there appears little or any enthusiasm among her lieutenants to challenge her, should she desire to remain in charge.
"She probably doesn't know what she wants to do right now. Some of it depends on the outcome" on Tuesday, according to a Washington Democratic strategist with intimate knowledge of the House, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"But I don't think she can be pushed out of her spot because a majority of the caucus right now is progressive, and progressive members really like Nancy Pelosi."
Darrell M. West, a politics scholar with the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution, also said he doesn't see a major threat to Mrs. Pelosi's leadership status among her Democratic colleagues.
"They have stayed with her over the last two years, and I don't see anything that's going to change that right away," he said.
Mrs. Pelosi's predecessor as speaker, Republican J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, took a different tactic and resigned from his party's House leadership after it lost control of the chamber after the 2006 elections. But in Washington's current highly partisan culture, minority parties are more willing to stick with their leaders through thick and thin, Mr. West said.
"In a polarized era, it's easier for a minority party to stay united because the majority party is united," he said.
If Mrs. Pelosi does step down, House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer is next in line to be the top Democrat in the House.
But at 73, the Maryland lawmaker may face challenges from some rising stars in the caucus such as Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Budget Committee, and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, who is chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
Asked whether the two younger Democrats would consider challenging Mr. Hoyer, the Democratic strategist said, "I have no idea"
If President Obama is re-elected and Republicans retain control of the House, another scenario is for Mrs. Pelosi to remain in her minority leader role for a few months before stepping down, a move that would give her time to work with the president on major tax and spending legislation needed to avoid a looming "fiscal cliff."
And if Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney wins and his party keeps the House, Mrs. Pelosi may feel compelled to remain minority leader for another two years to fight GOP attempts to repeal Mr. Obama's health care reforms — legislation close to her heart.
Yet if Democrats fail for the second congressional election to win the House, there likely will be at least some rumblings in her caucus for fresh blood at the top, as retaining the same leadership team would be a harder sell this time around.
"Inside the caucus, there are some real concerns about the direction the leadership has taken us," the Democratic strategist said. "Not that they're doing a bad job — I think people feel that everyone really came together this Congress. But they're older, and there is a sense that the current leadership has been there for years."
Still, if Mrs. Pelosi was retained as minority leader, it wouldn't be without precedent. Former Reps. Joseph W. Martin, Jr., a Massachusetts Republican, and Sam Rayburn, Texas Democrat, each flipped between speaker and minority leader several times during the mid-20th century.
And James Beauchamp Clark, a Missouri Democrat, was speaker for several years before his party lost control of the House in 1919, when he was elected minority leader for one term.
More recently, Richard A. Gephardt, Missouri Democrat, remained House minority leader for four successive terms in the 1990s and early 2000s despite losing elections when his party was expected to seriously challenge for control of the chamber.
"It isn't the sort of thing you see in some [foreign] parliamentary systems where you lose [an election] and you're sort of morally obligated to step down," said Barbara Sinclair, a political science professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Hi All. Great Forum. I'm in the market for a new MTB. I am getting back into biking and plan on using this bike to ride the local path/trails with my kids, commuting at times, no extreme riding, but most of the paths near me are either paved, light gravel or wood chips. Back in the mid 90's I used to ride a Trek 820 rigid fork which I liked and also had a GT MTB (can't remember the model) but it was an equivalant to the trek in price and also had a rigid fork. The variety out there is mind boggling! I plan on buying from a LBS to ensure the bike is set up correctly and I find the right size. Bikes manufacturers I like and seem to be pretty available in my area are: Trek, Gary Fisher, Specialized, Giant and Cannondale. I read alot on this forum about MTB tires vs 700c tires(I think). I'm a novice to all that, both my last two bikes had MTB tires. I'm 5'6' and 250lbs so I need a sturdy bike that can handle my weight so I don't know if that will make a difference in my choices. I know this price range is probably low-mid end of bikes, but I think it will be a good start. Are there any advantages to have a (rock shox) type fork compared to a rigid fork? I have looked on line and like some of the following:
Trek Soho
Trek SU2.0
Trek 820 and others above this model within the $600 range
Specialized Hardrock
I know there is a lot in this email. Any info. would be appreciated. I live in the western suburba of Chicago so if anyone out there from my area has a suggestion of a really good LBS let me know, I'll throw my business there way!
Thanks - JP

Monument to cooking fish
On 10/18 we had a lovely motor into a south breeze 40 miles down to Reedville, VA. This is the home of the Menhaden fleet - not nearly as funky as it was 40 years ago as a lot of the sunken fishing boats and rotted piers have been removed. We anchored near the town to be near the seafood deli where we picked up crab cakes and scallops.
The weather 10/19 was a constantly changing mix of rain, fog, and mist. Then last night and today the winds have been very strong out of the south, but our anchor has held.
In part because of no internet service where we were, this afternoon we moved about 5 miles south to a lovely little creek which has a bit more protection from the wind as well as internet connectivity... hence this post.
Tomorrow should be good for going south, and we hope to be in Hampton Roads the day after tomorrow. Then we start guessing about hurricanes in conjunction with our insurance company.
Sunday, 10/16, we motor'd two hours south to the Rhode River, and anchored in the lovely half-moon bay near the entrance. This is where our sailing career began, decades ago, and we even poked up into Cadle Creek where the first arrow (an ancient, $300 wonder filled with rotten wood and cotten stuffed in the seams) was kept. Like much of the Bay, there have been many changes here in 40+ years... now the creek is lined with McMansions and fancy boats.
Captain Jack had developed his first head cold in years on Saturday, sneezing his brains out, at least the nonlinear system theory part (some of the linear theory remains up there) so we took an easy day. The cold seems to be rapidly disappearing.
Today, Monday, we made the trip down to Solomons Island in lovely weather, and even had a couple hours of nice sailing - our first of the trip. We will be getting together with Uncle Skip and Little Kathy this evening.
Admiral Terry prepares to cast off
Up before sunrise, we had breakfast and removed our permanent
dock lines for storage in the Happy Van over the winter. Headed
out at 7:30am hoping for some west wind. We powered into a
brisk southwest breeze. As we neared the Bay Bridge, the wind
increased to 20-25 knots with gusts of 25-30 knots. After a
very bouncy ride we anchored in Lake Ogleton, near Annapolis,
at 1pm.
Looks like a small chance that there will be a northern
component to the wind over the next couple of days, so we will
be doing relatively short hops.
Late morning we arrived at the marina in our loaded, trusty/rusty Happy Van, and were greeted by a strong downpour with high wind. Between waves of black sky and rain we managed to get the boat loaded and organized. By mid-afternoon the rain was finished, and the winds had turned from South to more West. Since we want to head South, we could have departed, but decided on a nap and dinner out. Tomorrow we plan to get an early start and hope to ride still strong West winds toward Solomons Island.
On the hard, lift keel up.
Monday afternoon, 10/10, we did a maintenance haulout, including pressure washing the bottom, touching up the bottom paint, replacing zincs (including that pesky lift-keel zinc), greasing the feathering prop, and so on. The boat splashes back in tomorrow morning, and is ready for final loading.
Friday is looking pretty good for departure, weatherwise.
In about two weeks we will be heading down the Intercoastal Waterway. Our plan is to get to Florida in early December, leave the boat near Cape Canaveral and return home for the holidays, then return to the boat in early February to cruise the Keys and Bahamas. Finally we will return north via the Waterway in April/May of 2012.
Lots to do... boat to prepare and load (we can still see the waterline, so much more stuff will be added), communications to establish (including this blog), house to prepare (currently working on a stuck sewer cleanout cap), Alfa's to service, and end-of-season hurricanes to outguess (not to mention upcoming holiday events...).

If your students liked Stuck in the Tar Pits, try this one with your young girls. When I drew it, I was hoping to dazzle the girls with something they would really want to do, and so far my students have loved it. You will have to be the judge of what age girl in your studio will be interested, because all children are different.
Play this the way you play the Tar Pits game. Start with a measure or short phrase that the student is having difficulty mastering. Place a small pony figure (or anything you have on hand) on the first cloud. If the student plays correctly, she gets to move to the next cloud. If not, she stays put. When she has moved 3 times, "Melody" the pony, gets to land in the soft clover and join her pony friends in the background. The student will learn that if she plays slowly and carefully, she will play it correctly. It's certainly a more fun way to repeat a measure!
For those of you who will want to know, I drew everything on this page myself and it took me forever. I used Photoshop with a Wacom tablet, creating my own brushes as I went along. If you are interested in more technical details, email me and I'll do my best to help you out.

A source told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "It's a stressful time. Britney has already started seeing lawyers about splitting with Kevin.
"She is serious about it. She knows she has to get things moving."
Britney has been at the centre of months of speculation that her marriage is on the rocks.
Last week, Britney hit out at Federline on her website - by posting a picture of herself posing with a rude hand gesture.
Britney, who has a baby son, Sean Preston, with Federline, put the photo under a poem - entitled 'Remembrance Of Who I Am' - which was allegedly aimed at her 28-year-old spouse.
The verse, believed to be written by the singer, describes feeling tied down in "chains" and asks: "How do you stand sleeping at night?"
It continues with lines about feeling "manipulated" and "swallowed", and talks about "the sins of the Father".
