Stories from Quick Reads and Olympics
Mexican Protesters Show Creative Activism
@faeriedevilish, blogging for Infoactivismo, reflects on the need to be creative in communicating our protests. Along those lines, the author explains the importance of creativity while referring to protesting events in Ayotzinapa, where photocopies of the victims' faces were used to attract and generate awareness about the terrible incidents.
Illustrators not only made use of online resources to get the public's attention, but the streets also took the leading role for young people's creativity.
En una ciudad en la que la proliferación de marchas lleva en el mejor de los casos a una saturación, y en el peor de ellos, a prejuicios de clase, hacer que las marchas de Acción Global Ayotzinapa dieran incentivos para seguir participando fue un reto gigantesco.
Y es que marchar es del Contingente Carreola. Marchar es usar tu talento para incidir – como los jóvenes de la ENAP que pintaron las caras de lxs desaparecidxs en Reforma, lxs estudiantes de la Nacional de Música que marchaban interpretando música. Marchar es de quienes cuentan del 1 al 43, y de quienes cambian los dichos machistas por versiones feministas.
Marchar no es aburrido ni tedioso: es una forma de participación social que, de hecho, puede ser bastante divertida.
In a city where a proliferation of marches can either fill the streets or lead to class prejudices, it was a huge challenge to have the Ayotzinapa Global Action encourage further participation.
The march is lead by the Stroller Contingent. Marching uses your talent to have an affect on people, such as the kids from the National School of Plastic Arts who painted their faces reflecting the people who disappeared during the Reform period, and students from the National Conservatory of Music marched while playing music. The march has people from ages 1 to 43 and those willing to change their chauvinist remarks for more feminist ones.
Marching isn't boring or tedious. It's a way to participate in something social and fun.

LGBT-Friendly Coloring Books for Russians
Activists from the LGBT equality T-shirt company FCKH8.com are planning to send 10,000 copies of a pro-gay coloring book titled "Misha and His Two Mothers" to families with children in Moscow and Sochi, prior to the 2014 Winter Olympics. The book's core message, captured by the catchphrase "Gay Is Okay!" (Гей – окей!), is to let children know that being gay is not criminal. Writing in the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, Angelina Galanina condemned [ru] the coloring book as "propaganda." RuNet reactions have ranged from the vitriolic to the measured [ru]. LiveJournal user kolyaka [ru] quipped:
Так примерно во времена железного занавеса к нам проникала запретная литература, тлетворная музыка и даже библии в СССР забрасывали. Как относиться к подобной раскраске? Не знаю.
This is roughly how banned literature, dangerous music, and even the Bible reached us in the days of the Iron Curtain and flooded the USSR. What to make of such a coloring book? I don't know.
Saudi Arabia: Reaching the Line of Gender Equality
While saluting the decision of Saudi Arabia to send two female athletes to the London Olympics, the Saudi Women Driving deplores the fact that Saudi women cannot drive. "The whole world has been watching Saudi women and their triumphant appearance at the Olympics, and most news stories about them mention that they can't drive back home," it says. The Blog of Amnesty International – USA also notes"Evidently, Saudi Arabia has a long way to reach the finish line of 'gender equality.' Nevertheless, Sarah Attar's 800 meter run at the 2012 Olympics certainly shortens the distance."
London Olympic Games made in China
Beatrice from Ministry of Tofu puts together a set of infographic and reports on products related with London Olympic Games which are made in China.
Russia: USA's Hammon Leads Russia to Basketball Semis
Twitter user @zhenya_jane wrote on the U.S. native Becky Hammon's contribution to #London2012: "She's 35 years old, 168 cm tall. Becky Hammon is in the starting lineup of the Russian national basketball team. Thought they wouldn't take her." In 2008, Hammon faced ridicule from Americans when she gained Russian citizenship in the hope of playing on the international stage. Today she led her team in scoring (19 points, 5 assists) as Russia defeated Turkey (66-63) in a quarterfinal match. Team USA and Russia could meet in the final if Russia defeats France and if Team USA defeats Australia in the semis. Hammon's Facebook fan page is here.
Colombia: Caterine Ibargüen Wins Silver in Triple Jump
This post is part of our Special Coverage of our London 2012 Games.
During the afternoon of Sunday, August 5, Colombian Twitter users expressed their emotion, expectation and tension due to the performance of Caterine Ibargüen, who represents the country in long jump, high jump, and triple jump at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Under the hashtags #VuelaCaterine [es] ("Fly Caterine") and #VamosCaterine [es] ("Go Caterine") netizens showed their support for the athlete who won the silver medal in triple jump.
Latin America: Is 2012 the 'Year of the Woman" at the Olympics?
The Americas Quarterly blog points out that although there is still a lot to do to end gender discrimination at the Olympics, "for the first time in history, every country competing in the London 2012 Olympics will have at least one female athlete, with many – notably in Latin America – achieving gender parity among their delegations. […] Argentina, Bolivia, El Salvador, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rica and Peru have selected female athletes to represent their teams. "
Argentina: The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo and the Olympics
Lillie Langtry from the blog Memory in Latin America explains that the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo are getting into the spirit of the Olympics by "asking various Argentine sportspeople to feature in their latest video campaign." Langtry shares a video where Carlo Retegui, the coach of the women's field hockey team, tries to raise awareness about the disappeared children.

Germany: Improve Reporting on Disabled People
It ought to become something understood in the language that disabled people do things not in spite of or because of, but with their disabilities.
During the Paralympics in London there have been more and more reports on "against-it-all people" or "supercripples" in the media. leidmedien.de explains how to get the tone right.
Nicaragua: A Blogger's Olympic Dream
Mildred Largaespada from the blog 1001 trópicos [es] shares her "Olympic dream." In 1984, Mildred was part of Nicaragua's National Junior Basketball Team and participated in the Central American Games of that year in Guatemala. Her dream was to make it to the Olympics, but after losing in Guatemala she traded her basketball shoes for a career in journalism.
Colombia: Gold for Cyclist Mariana Pajón
Colombians on Twitter anxiously awaited the performance of BMX cyclist Mariana Pajón. Hashtags like ORO ("gold"), #ÁnimoMariana ("Go Mariana"), or Mariana Pajón became local Trending Topics before and after Pajón won the gold medal. With this achievement, Colombia ratifies the country's historic performance at the this year's Olympics and now ranks number 33 in the current medal count.
Cyprus: First Ever Olympic Medal at London 2012

Security Watch: Sun's IE Java Plug-In Could Bug You
Why you might want your own digital certificate.
it's important to note that there are no reports yet of actual attacks based on this vulnerability, and therefore it is important to upgrade now to a version that is not vulnerable. you can download such a version from sun directly by clicking here.
recent versions of the java plug-in have their own update program in them. you can access this from the java plug-in control panel, which you can execute from the windows control panel. on the about tab you will see the version you are running and on the update tab you can run the updater or schedule regular checks for new versions. reports from elsewhere and our own testing confirm that, at least in some cases, this updating program does not work correctly, and will not update the system to the most recent version. in this case, you need to download and run the static installer. the fixed version of the java vm is 1.4.2_06. earlier versions, such as 1.4.2_05, are either known to be vulnerable or should be presumed as such.
and here's a nasty surprise: it's possible for java applets to specify the version of the vm they want to use. and when you install a new java version it doesn't necessarily remove the old one. so even if you install the fixed version, you may have vulnerable versions still running on your computer. go to the windows add/remove programs applet in control panel to see which versions are running and consider removing the old ones.
but wait, it gets worse! it's possible for a web page to prompt for the installation of older, more vulnerable versions of the java vm, which are still available on the sun site. you will see a warning, especially on windows xp sp2, so you can protect yourself against such attacks just by being alert and not blindly clicking "yes" to every prompt that comes up.

Most plastic gun fans have never shot a 1911 or a real revolver.
A version of this thread is almost always running on site, and a version of the above quote is usually there.
A quality 1911 or revolver is a joy without a doubt, but while there are some (maybe many) who do not know what they are missing, most of us who hang out here know the value of both the above firearms and polymer framed weapons, AKA cheap Tupperware pistols. There is at least as much bloviating from the 1911 and steel revolver crowd as there is from the plastic perfection guys.
There is absolutely nothing better for me to tote around as a defensive weapon than my compact 9 mm polymer pistol. I don't understand why that offends anyone. It does exactly what it is designed to do very well at a reasonable cost. I do not care that the production methods have changed and the end product feels "cheap" to some. Please do not tell me my choice is uninformed-it is not. Use what you want. I will continue to enjoy all of the above.

A bit of holiday air throughout the year, more than an image, a feeling that we invaded as soon as you enter the village. The term village is not usurped. The center has resulted in a main street lined with boutiques, shops and restaurants and the Casino (the name was retained even though he now is a set of reception). Then the esplanade Beef. Large area close to the beaches where sits a carousel and all the necessary equipment for bungee jumping. Recently, it houses the market fairs. In extending the park Braudel crouched on the Isthmus of Sablettes. 7.5 hectares of greenery, more than 800 trees and 300 native plant species. The center aisle, wooden, between land and sea is a place of passage for those wishing to walk quietly. In summer, it hosts the night market and led to the "great lawn of the park" where many concerts are held. Adjacent to the plaza Beef, a mini amusement park, the tourist office and parking. However, the village has sacrificed nothing in modernism and has retained its charms of yesteryear.

Why do we need Wefi? Each day, more devices – cellphones, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and others – come on-line, and nowadays all of them have always-on internet access. That access includes use of wifi networks, as well as 3G and 4G cell data networks. And that's a problem: The more devices that try to go online, the more crowded the cell network gets. Already the network is sluggish; in a few years, when there are even more devices, it'll get even worse!

Laying with toddler until they're asleep..taking a loooong time!
How long does it take your toddler to fall asleep, if you stay with them (I assume many moms do stay with them, on this site?)
DD is now 21 months and recent weaned and is only co-sleeping part-time. She is on a floor bed in her room. Aside from her bed, she as some books and stuffed animals in her room. I've always liked the Montessori floor-bed idea. You know, to give her independence to choose when she's tired and put herself to bed. Well, it is taking her on average 1.5 hours to fall asleep and she usually gets herself overtired before she does!
We do have a routine where I giver her a bath, jammies, snack, brush teeth, say and say goodnight to everyone. Then she and I go into her room, sit in bed with her nightlight, read 2 books. After that is bedtime (sleep is about 1.5 hours later!) This is when she proceeds to tuck in all of her stuffed animals (super cute, she las them all on their bellies and rubs their backs). She tucks each one in about 1,000,000,546 times, then starts to jump up and down on her bed over and over, then reads books, then comes over to me and starts "flopping around" trying to fall asleep. So about 1.5 hours from the time we start reading books, closer to 2 hours from the start of bath time.
She is one who has had company falling asleep her whole life. I don't feel comfortable leaving her to herself at the beginning of the night because she doesn't seem to like it much and I really think it will stress us out unnecessarily, but I do wonder if my presence is what keep her up so long.
I do enjoy the time with her, she's super sweet and loves playing with her books and stuffed animals before she falls asleep. But 1.5 hours seems like an awfully long time and I'm wondering if any other moms have suggestions about how to teach her to fall asleep a little more...swiftly. Any ideas?
My youngest will be two next month. Either myself of my partner will lay down with her to get her to fall asleep. This only works if the lights are completely off (I'm talking pitch black darkness) and requires us to physically relax. Relax to the point of almost falling asleep yourself. No kidding. My little one can sense when we are awake and if she thinks we're tired she decides "why bother" and passes out.
Oh... And that being said, sometimes it does take 45 minutes, but that's usually a day where she's had sugar or eaten too close to bedtime or is restless for some other reason.
We never had reading in the bedroom, always on the couch. If she takes that long to go to sleep, why not change up the routine a little to include some quiet *family* reading time? You don't have to be in the room 100% of the time if she's organizing and putting her stuffies to bed and looking at books. You can do your evening "chores"-- getting jammies on, brushing teeth, feeding pets. You can let her choose between quiet time on the couch with you (don't get on the computer! Books or crosswords or writings are best) and when she is ready for you to lie down and turn out the lights, then you go in.
Been there, done that, I have always prioritized my girls' needs, sometimes over my own and that led to a lot of frustration on my part. What saved me was when my sleep needs (long) started matching their sleep needs (shorter side of normal). It also helped to dedicate myself to simply going to bed with them, and trying to wake up earlier in the morning. They started trusting that I wasn't going to leave them, and when I did decide to stay up with dh after thy drifted off, I was able to without fuss on most nights (occasionally one wouldn't feel great or sleep well). I had very, very few problems with them waking up after they feel asleep, ever, even when they took some time to drift. It was mostly my tiredness that kept me in bed.
I admire your devotion to your daughter's needs. There's a solution in there somewhere. If it's not a problem with dedicating your undivided attention to her sleep routines, then why not let her have that time, if she winds up sleeping soundly afterward? DH and I are now faced with our older girls (7 and 9) staying up nearly as late as we do, and curtailing our video choices as a result. Eventually, the kids intrude on our once-private evening hours!
My first was like that. Now that we have a second and a different lifestyle, I attribute a lot of her sleep resistance to us keeping a pretty crazy (though very child-friendly) schedule. We basically just worked around her need for sleep and didn't do much routine. It "worked" but it often meant that sleep was pretty random.
My younger child is on a much more regimented routine because of life and school (we have a much more mainstream existence this time around). She falls asleep SO much better but by the end of summer as the routine has worn off, she can take a long time to get to sleep as well. That's why I think it is a routine issue rather than temperament.
If you want a change (and you don't currently do consistent morning and nap routine), I suggest trying that. A tip to make the night-time sleep go faster is to use a laptop while you wait (if you have one). I agree that a tweak in what is welcome in terms of play at bed-time may be a good idea too. But, that's only "fair" (IMO) if your child is truly tired.
Rigorous exercise right before the bedtime routine? Run around chasing fireflies, go on a bike ride or see how high you can count as she jumps on one of those mini trampolines.
I don't know if this totally conflicts with your family's diet, but a carb-y snack like a bowl of cereal might have more of a soporific effect than, say, a plate of carrot and celery sticks (or, obviously, something more sugary than cereal).
You might consider waking her up earlier, to make her feel tired earlier. I know that can be tricky, because you may need her to sleep in the morning even more than you need her to get to sleep, at night!
Awesome suggestions, thank you all so much!
My own sleep needs are well-met these days now that she doesn't wake frequently, so my tiredness is a non-issue. But 1.5 hours seems like a terribly long time compared to what other mother's say about their children, and it's clear she actually should fall asleep earlier in the process. When I used to rock her all the way to sleep, she would be out in 15 minutes, but then woke frequently through the night. This way, she at least sleeps good chunks which I prefer and think is better for her. She is definitely not chronically sleep-deprived, so it's not a dire situation. However, it would be really good if I could spend that time in the evening either doing chores or with my husband. Plus, I do think this would be an impossible set up when we have our next child but I'm not even pregnant yet so we have a long time to work on it.
Last night, I tried laying down and relaxing like I was falling asleep. This didn't help and resulted in an hr of sit-on-mom's-head type games.
I'm going to try SweetSilver's idea of letting her play in her room by herself until she is ready to lay down and go to sleep (the couch isn't an option because my other "child," ie husband, is not good with things like quiet time rules) . I've been tempted to make this rule before but was cautious because I wasn't sure she was old enough to understand so much that I could enforce it. But I tried at nap time, and low and behold, she went right to sleep. But naps have always, always been easier with her so we shall see what a happens tonight!
And as far as routine: I love routine. She is happier with it and when she is happy and feels safe, my heart is full. We have a morning wake up routine, lunch time routine, nap routine, and evening routine starts with dinner. Like most families, we could probably be even more consistent than we are when vacations happen and visitors come, but we do a pretty good job! She loves bath time and happily runs to bed at bedtime. squealing, "NIGH NIGH!! NIGH NIGHS!!!"to everyone and everything she passes! It's just that she doesn't quite make the good decision to go to sleep soon enough!
I think that having her play in her room for a while, and call you when she is ready to lie down, may be a very good solution and is certainly the first thing to try.
My son did not accept being alone in a room, awake, until he was 4 years old. Because this meant that his dad or I had to stay with him until he was sound asleep, we started the bedtime routine fairly late in the evening and had some rules: Stay in bed, lying down. No bouncing or kicking. (He was not allowed to jump on the bed at any time.) After we read 3 stories and say our prayer, no more talking.
We were able to keep the bedside lamp on so that the parent could read silently; it didn't seem to keep him awake. A relative who has preschoolers now told me that the lamp does keep them awake, but if he sits in the rocker in their room and reads on his Kindle, that works well.
Thanks, I haven't tried reading while in the room in months. My being active has always seemed to get her excited, but it's worth a shot. My guilty pleasure is reading and if I could get away with that while she falls asleep I'd be especially happy to stay in there for an hr and a half!
I stopped reading as part of the bedtime routine and having books in the bedroom because they would get DS too worked up. He would just want to read them over and over and take forever falling asleep. This happened with stuffed animals, too, to an extent, so I tried to keep the stuffed animals out in the living room at bedtime, too. (Now he does sleep with one stuffed animal, though, and doesn't try to play with it.) When I know he is tired, I try to make the bedtime routine as quick as possible--change diaper and put on pajamas, brush teeth, nurse. He goes to sleep fairly quickly that way. (He's 27 months.)
It always took my first a long time to fall asleep, and I'd have to lie with her until she was asleep, or she'd get up and start crying and look for me. Sometimes I could tell her I was going to the bathroom, and then she'd be asleep when I came back. There were times I'd actually fall asleep with her and nap for an hour or so before getting back up again. Then my second fell asleep easily as long as someone was with her. She had to sleep with her sister for the longest time. She is almost 11 now, and she still will stay up in her room for a long time.
All three of my children co-slept in the early years and my youngest still does and she will be 5 at the end of those month and I have no plans to get her out of my bed. :) I usually go to sleep at the same time she does because I'm extremely tired! Lots of times I wake up after a bit and do some things and check on my older children to make sure they go on to bed - - but usually my 4 yr old and I go to bed at the same time.
Do you have a good routine in place? I do winding down and discussing what we will do before going to sleep. We do a book or two or three before laying down and we talk and enjoy time together and then lay down and go to sleep. Usually she is the first one these days to say lets go to sleep now mommy and turns on the sound machine and is ready to fall out! So she's very used to our routine now.
Sounds like you're getting a lot of great advice. I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said- like changing up the routine somet to see if something else works better, etc.
Mostly, I want to convey a BTDT & you're not alone. My oldest would take that long on a regular basis, and I would usually be asleep before he, even though sometimes I was sure he was very sleepy, he just fought it. We aren't routine-type people, though, and didn't really impose a schedule, so maybe we were contributing to the issue, but nevertheless, it passed. He was sleeping pretty easily by about 3 or 4, & now, at 8.5 years old, he puts himself and his little brother to bed without any issue at all, though he's still a night-owl. Our youngest, by the way, was completely different. I think it's partly the novice parent thing of doing it somewhat "wrong", and partly the child's personality. Either way, keep doing what seems right to your family, looking for a better way when needed, & remember the parent's mantra: "This, too, shall pass."
Thanks so much for all the advice!! I just want to comment here for other people's reference in teh future, but the time it takes to fall asleep is only an occasional issue anymore. I think the fact that it's getting dark earlier helps a lot! These times really do pass, just when you think it's not going to. We've now gotten ourselves into a little other trouble, but I'm going to ask about it in a new thread since it's really a little different topic, though sleep related. Thanks again!

Over the last year, the mining industry has experienced several high-profile incidents around the globe that have highlighted the need for both increased
awareness of underground safety and emergency response-trained personnel. To address this issue, at the start of this school year, students in the mining
engineering program at the University of British Columbia (UBC) created Canada's only university mine rescue team, one of only a few student teams in North
An eight-person squad of students was assembled to be trained in mine rescue, encompassing such disciplines as firefighting, first aid, patient extraction,
ropes deployment, smoke exploration and situation risk management. Through the generous support of sponsors (BHP Billiton, Goldcorp, Shell, Total E&P,
Imperial Metals, SMS Equipment, Newmont, the Canadian Mineral Processors Society of CIM, Syncrude, MineSight, North American Tungsten and the Association
of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. [APEGBC]), enough funds were raised to purchase the bulk of the specialized safety equipment and
supplies needed to outfit an entire team in the first year. To test its mettle, the newly formed team accepted an invitation to participate in the 1st
Biannual University Mine Rescue Competition hosted by the Colorado School of Mines in Denver, Colorado, in February.
The team accepted an offer from Goldcorp to train for a week with their Ontario provincial championship mine rescue team based at the Porcupine Mine in
Timmins, Ontario. We were trained on the workings of the BG-4 closed-circuit breathing apparatus, as well as on specific tools utilized by a mine rescue
team, including thermal imagers, immobilization boards, CAREvent automatic resuscitators and various types of self rescuers. The training included multiple
simulations in which complex incidents with evolving situations and danger levels were completed. This fostered teamwork and reinforced skills learned, but
more importantly, helped to develop risk management skills. By the end of the week, the training experience had molded each member by arming them with
basic knowledge to function and operate as a cohesive mine rescue team.
At the competition in Denver, the UBC team competed against both the Colorado School of Mines men's and women's teams, and Pennsylvania State University.
It was a grueling competition that pushed each team to its mental and physical limits, demanding four hours on oxygen and the extraction of live casualties
that weighed in excess of 136 kilograms. It was a fantastic event that exposed the teams to a great deal of safety methodologies, new techniques,
communication and teamwork. In the end, our training with Goldcorp paid off as UBC was declared the overall winner. In five skill-based competitions held
the next day, we won three events – rope rescue, patient extraction and fire fighting.
With the first operational year complete and a competition victory under our belt, the team is now looking at becoming more involved in the British
Columbia provincial mine rescue competition and will hopefully field a demonstration team in the next few years. At the university level, there has been
tremendously positive feedback following our debut performance and the dedication shown by the team members to a culture of safety. Hopefully, student mine
rescue teams will be created at other Canadian universities in the near future. In the meantime, our team will continue to promote the issue of safety and
keep working at perfecting our skill sets.

Home Downsizing Leading To Unique Housing Options
A growing trend in the south and west has begun to catch on in central Ohio.
Downsizing during the recession has led to an uptick in a unique – and tiny – kind of home.
David Barker has helped architect Alex Melamed build his dream home in Yellow Springs.
His dream is big, but the home is small.
"This is a 300-square-foot house," said Melamed. "It's less to deal with, less to pay a mortgage on, less to clean."
Melamed, who works for Green Generation Building in Yellow Springs, put his money on the inside of the home, bringing quality finishes and a custom kitchen that takes up one whole wall of the home.
One corner serves a double-purpose.
"So, it's sort of a kitchen, sort of an office," Melamed said. "Dining room, living room, all in the same. Fifteen feet."
Behind one wall is a compact bathroom, including a hidden drawer for storage.
Melamed and his wife will sleep in the closet.
"The bed will fold out from this wall," he said.
A few blocks away, in another tiny house, homeowner Ellen Dawson Whitt uses a pull-down staircase to climb up to her loft bed.
Her home is even smaller at less than 200 square foot.
Her heat comes from a wood stove, and her power from a solar panel. Her focus is green living.
"I try not to own too many things, and I try to have a low carbon footprint," said Dawson Whitt.
She said that when others see her tiny house, they're fascinated.
"It appeals to people," Dawson Whitt said. "They know that they've got too much stuff. They know their lives are encumbered with things that don't bring them joy."
Whether for saving resources or saving money, Melamed said that tiny houses are a growing trend.
He said that they can squeeze on small lots, and for people who have lost bigger homes in the recession, they can be a chance to start over by starting small.
"A tiny house is a natural way to go," Melamed said.
Melamed works for Green Generation Building, and has designed another tiny house, this one bigger than his, at 500 square feet.
A Texas company specializes in tiny homes that can be ordered, shipped, or built from blueprints. Prices start at about $20,000 and can go up from there.

Automated testing is an extremely important part of any software system. LeanDog's Cheezy will be showing us Cucumber, one of the most effective tools for full-stack acceptance testing. Unlike other acceptance testing systems, Cucumber allows business analysts or other stakeholders to write acceptance tests in a simple, accepted format. Developers can then take these tests and make them an executable part of their testing stack. This talk will give some background on acceptance testing and go into using Cucumber in your Ruby on Rails applications. Please note the change in time for this meeting. We'll be starting around 6:00 instead of the usual 7:00.
Matt, no Worries!! Thing is, the meetings have been working so well, I just let my expectations get raised! I really enjoyed the last couple on Koans and RSpec. That Introduction / time to play format really seemed to work well. Its harder for me to make th 4hr round trip a second time each month, but it might be worth it.
U guys are doing great! Thanks!!!

Ed, I'm sorry you were disappointed with the presentation and appreciate your courage in communicating your concerns. We are planning to start up a second CleRB meeting which will be a lab intended to follow up on the topic discussed in the previous presentation. Do you feel that will assist? Would you attend?
Hang in there. The group is still evolving and will continue to grow.

I left. Meeting had been on for 2 +hours, and speaker had done nothing to introduce us to Cucumber.
For experienced Cuke users, he finally began engaging them after 90min. The rest of us, however, were completely left out.
We were supposed to start at 6, were called to eat at 6:45, and speaking didn't start til after 7.
When speaker finally started, he began a slow rambling tour of people he's met and known, but which have little meaning to me. Then he talked about frameworks other than Cucumber, again slowly and without direction.
At 7:45, I thought he might finally take on Cucumber, but he brought out totally unreadable screenshots. Then he skipped a bunch of slides--were these what I came to see?
Been looking forward to learning Cucumber here for 2 months plus. Drove 2hrs+ each way. Most speakers I'd forgive as trying. This one runs a training company. He also owns the projector he couldn't manage. Most disappointing Ruby meeting in 3 years.

99 minutes after start time, it seemed speaker might just begin telling us about Cucumber. However, speaker jumped into discussion with experienced Cuke users, leaving the rest of us completely out.
More, presentation uses completely unreadable screenshots.
All of this would still be forgivable if the presenter were a novice speaker, learning the hard way. In reality, speaker runs a company which conducts training and coaching for agile development. What gives?

Make sure and ask for a gluten free tour. Someone will walk you around personally and let you know what is safe to eat. Very impressed!!
The manager and head chef will give you a tour and help you pick out what is safe! They also have gluten free pasta on request.
This was amazing I asked about the gluten free pasta and a chef came and pointed out every single thing that was gluten free. At the pasta counter you can ask him to make you gluten free pasta to order and he will make it how ever you want it. The chicken is fantastic and the mashed potatoes are pretty good. There are lots of options and there's ice cream!!
The chef personally walked me around, pointing out all the GF options. A very good experience.
I was very satisfied with the selection of gf items. The chef pointed out all dishes that were gf, and since my memory isn't so good, I had to catch him again to double check on some items I wasn't sure about. They do have gf pasta, you just have to ask at that station for them to cook you some. I was able to eat more than just chicken dishes. The ribs and roast beef were gf also. So the person who said all he was told he could eat was chicken and salad must not have had a good chef on duty that night, or he was too busy and someone else gave the tour.
I don't understand how this restaurant has such high reviews. The manager told me I could eat chicken and the salad. Ha, no thanks.
Manager walks you through and tells you everything gluten free and you get ice cream For dessert! Very good lots of options just no pasta dishes that are gluten free.
This was our first time here being gluten free. The manager (Matt) was super friendly and ultra accommodating. He was very knowledgable and took us on a tour and pointed out everything that was safe for us to eat. Only thing that would make it better would be to have something else sweet to go with the ice cream for dessert.
We met some good friends there on 4/29/2014. I had read the previous reviews and I was not disappointed. The manager walked our entire group to all of the buffet stations and pointed out each gluten-free dish to me. This was the first time i have ever eaten anywhere and not had any kind of reaction. I would definitely eat here again. Another plus for us was that kids 12 and under eat free for two paying adults on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Drinks are not included in the cost though-so my only complaint would be the cost.
Great gluten free options! Had a manager walk me around and tell me what I could have. Very nice staff. Would go again. Definitely recommended!
Went here with soccer team, 2 girls are Celiac and myself. Usually I stay away from buffet's but gave it a try due to other reviews. Manager took us through the buffet, there were quite a few options. The best is that they cooked us up a fresh pan of gfree pasta with the sauce, meat and veggies of our choice. Desert we had apple pie filling with about 8 ice creams to choose from. We left full and 12 hours later uncontaminated.
Was so pleased with how knowledgeable they were about their menu. They even took us on a tour and advised us of gluten and gluten free items. There were so many delicious items to include gluten free pasta.
Absolutely wonderful selection of gluten free items and incredible food as well. The head chef takes you around each buffet section himself and points out the many items that are gluten free and will go out of his way to modify any of the few items not gluten free to make them safe for you to eat. Great service and over 35 items gluten free to choose from. By far one of the best buffets in town!

not a lot, but staff is extremely helpful. even will make something special when they can.

Absolutely one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in my life! It has a nice atmosphere. Offers a lot of food. I'm Italian so I can never get enough food. I think I could fill up several plates of food and never get the same thing twice. Yes this is a marketplace restaurant. It's like a buffet only super clean and better food than anywhere else for even twice the price. The house salad is especially good.

Published on: September 01, 2011
(Editor's Note: The original question was submitted to Dr. Ortel through Consult a Colleague. He expanded his answer for print.)
The Question
A 48-year-old man with factor XI deficiency (2% activity) was first diagnosed at the age of 17 during evaluation for a prolonged aPTT. He underwent extraction of wisdom teeth without plasma or topical support uneventfully. Periodontal surgery led to oozing for which he was successfully treated with oral aminocaproic acid. He now needs arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder for repair of a torn rotator cuff. Does he need factor replacement prior to surgery and afterward?
My Response
Inherited deficiency of factor XI was first described in 1953 as a mild to moderate bleeding disorder.1 Factor XI deficiency exhibits an autosomal inheritance pattern with a variable clinical penetrance, as described below. It has been described in a wide variety of population groups but is most common in Ashkenazi Jews. In this particular group, it is estimated that one in eight individuals are heterozygous and one in 190 are homozygous for mutations in the factor XI gene.2,3
Spontaneous bleeding, except for menorrhagia, is uncommon in patients with factor XI deficiency. Most bleeding episodes occur following surgical procedures or trauma. In contrast to patients with hemophilia A or B, the correlation between clinical bleeding and the baseline factor XI clotting activity is poor. For example, some patients with severe factor XI deficiency (factor XI level < 10-20 IU/dL) exhibit no increase in hemorrhage, whereas other individuals with levels that are only moderately below the lower limit of the normal range develop bleeding complications after surgery.3
Rates of hemorrhagic complication have also been shown to vary depending on the type of surgery being performed.4 In particular, procedures involving sites with increased local fibrinolytic activity, such as the oral mucosa, nose, and genitourinary tract, are more frequently associated with excessive bleeding compared to procedures involving tissues not expressing fibrinolytic activity, such as bones or muscles. This study included six patients who underwent trauma surgery and one total knee replacement, but none of the patients underwent an arthroscopic procedure. The implication from these observations is that conservative use of replacement therapy in patients with even severe factor XI deficiency undergoing certain types of surgery is possible.4
Management of bleeding episodes and prevention of bleeding in relation to surgery is not straightforward and needs to be tailored to the individual patient.5 In many patients with factor XI deficiency, antifibrinolytic therapy alone may be sufficient to prevent bleeding in most surgical settings. Factor XI levels can be raised with fresh frozen plasma, but relatively large volumes may be required. The hemostatic level of factor XI activity to target is debated, but a level of 30 to 45 IU/dL is probably sufficient in patients with severe deficiency.5 Factor XI concentrates have been associated with an increased thrombotic risk in certain patients and are not available in the United States.6
Good hemostasis helps to maintain arthroscopic visual clarity during surgery and is essential for the successful completion of the procedure. A variety of strategies have been used to control arthroscopic bleeding, including using electrocautery or a radiofrequency thermal probe, adding epinephrine to the inflow irrigation solution or increasing the irrigation fluid inflow pressure, and applying direct pressure via the shaver blade.7
Relatively limited information is available describing therapeutic arthroscopy of the shoulder in patients with clotting disorders. A single case series describing the management and outcomes of five patients undergoing a total of six shoulder arthroscopic procedures included one patient with a mild factor XI deficiency (baseline level of 60 U/dL) who underwent arthroscopic subacromial decompression.8 This patient was treated with a combination of intravenous and oral tranexamic acid without any bleeding complications.
Although shoulder arthroscopy is performed in a tissue not considered to have high fibrinolytic activity, the impact of even a minimal increase in bleeding during a surgical procedure in an enclosed space can be significant. The severely decreased factor XI activity level in this patient, and the fact that he had previously required antifibrinolytic therapy for periodontal surgery, are concerning for an increased bleeding risk. Consequently, it was recommended that the patient receive fresh frozen plasma to supplement the factor XI level prior to the procedure. Post operatively, depending on the factor XI activity levels and clinical outcome of the procedure, additional fresh frozen plasma could be administered or antifibrinolytic therapy could be substituted instead.

THERE was no love lost between ROBERT
PATTINSON and KRISTEN
STEWART on Valentine's Day. They didn't even exchange cards.
But not getting a Hallmark greeting didn't stop Kristen getting on the blower
to her ex. According to sources, she's spent more time pressing redial on
the phone this week than music fans on Glastonbury ticketing day.
The Twilight star has been bombarding him with calls while he's in Australia
filming a new movie.
There's a good chance that she only got an engaged tone, though, because Rob
has been busy calling RUPERT SANDERS' ex LIBERTY ROSS.
The actor has been providing a shoulder to cry on since she started divorce
proceedings with her husband because of his affair with Kristen.
A source said: "Funnily enough Robert's always thought Liberty was gorgeous
since he first spotted her in a magazine as a teen."
"They're keen to meet up when they're both in London in March."

Pope Francis takes bold approach in 'thinking with the church'Oct 25, 2013 By Paul V.M. Flesher
Pope Francis is an impressive guy. Impressive not in the sense of his "wow" factor, coolness, charisma or even power, but impressive in his calm inner humility. It is not what he shouts that is gripping, but what he speaks in a whisper (to borrow Frank Bruni's characterization).
In a recent interview in the Jesuit publication "America," the Pope characterizes himself as a "sinner." And then, realizing how that remark will be interpreted, he goes on to say, "This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner."
When he thinks about his church --and as a Jesuit he emphasizes "thinking" --Pope Francis sees the overwhelming problems it faces. To solve them, he wants to "think with the church," the "people of God." Why? Because the people of the church "considered as a whole, are infallible in matters of belief." Of course, as a Catholic leader, he means the "'holy mother, the hierarchical church,'...the church as the people of God, pastors and people together," not some form of "populism."
This "thinking with the church," in the Pope's view, can and should lead to changes in "human self-understanding." He spoke of slavery and the death penalty as mistakes from which humanity and the church have learned and changed. And what test indicates when a past understanding is no longer valid?
In that light, the Pope sees each individual human being as more important than the church's doctrine. The message of salvation for all should be its front and center, not its doctrinal condemnations. While Pope Francis does not want to change church doctrine, he does want to alter how church leaders present it.
The church has sometimes "locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules." When talking about divorce and remarriage, abortion and homosexuality, he almost turns folksy, giving several anecdotes emphasizing a loving attitude toward individual humans, "sinners" and their life choices.
The church needs to return to the world and "accompany" the people who live there, wherever they live: in poverty, in sickness or in spiritual need. He points particularly to the bishops, who should not only support the "movements of God" among their flock, but should "accompany the flock that has a flair for finding new paths."
"Finding new paths" seems to apply to Francis's thoughts about women and their place in the church. "Women are asking deep questions that must be addressed ... the church cannot be herself without the woman and her role. The woman is essential for the church." He even states, "We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of the woman ... the feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions."
Unfortunately, the tone has suddenly changed here. No more anecdotes. No love of the individual. Instead, dealing with women directly, the church should create a generalized "theology of women."
But a theology of women is not what the 2 billion women and men who belong to the Catholic Church need. A "theology of women and men together" would be a better idea, since Catholicism exists in a world that men and women increasingly share as equals.
Most adults have a wide experience of the opposite sex. In marriage, women and men are partners, working together in the most intimate ways: companionably, intellectually, emotionally and sexually. Together, they create and raise families, loving their children with a bond and strength only they can experience.
In today's workplace, men and women work together more and more: as colleagues, workers, members of a team, as subordinates and as supervisors. Increasingly, over the decades, women and men have grown accustomed to working with each other in these different roles.
A theology is not what is needed, but a practical guide for the relationships and community dynamics of people's daily lives; a guide through which the hierarchy can learn how church members live their lives, lives that the priestly, celibate commitment to the church prevents them from experiencing directly.
Pope Francis is bold to challenge himself and the church's leadership to "think with the Church," with all the people of God. For their sake, I hope he truly sees and enacts the full potential of his goal.

Initialize the Implant Cited Knave (MLA)
25 janvier 2017 par Anne Claire
Classé dans Non classé
Whenever you mix outside sources into your own constitution, you moldiness pass both in-text citations (within the body of the makeup) and full citations (in the set cited page). The in-text citations point your reader toward the summate citations buy tradition essays reappraisal in the embed cited page.
That's why the showtime bit of information in your in-text citation (generally, the source's discover; if no differentiate is provided, the dash of the article/ledger/webpage) should now compeer up with the get-go of your works cited debut for that source. For boost information some in-text citations, enjoy read Arrange In-Text Citations.
E.g., let's say I suffer a acknowledgment from Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communitiesin my inquiry account. Indoors the trunk of the theme, adjacent the acknowledgment, I include the following in-text citation: (Anderson 56). This randomness points to the book's unveiling in my flora cited rapscallion:
Anderson, Benedict. Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Bloodline and Gap of Nationalism. London: Reversion, 2006. Write.
When your referee sees the in-text quotation in your tryout, she may decide that the root might be valuable for her own search. When she looks at the set cited page, she can easily fix the etymon (because the works cited foliaceous is alphabetized and because she has the in-text citation as her referent) so can use the all-embracing quotation to commend a copy of the sow for her own interrogation. But aside from providing the reader with resources for her own search, the set cited paginate serves another function: it establishes the writer's credibility. If a source fails to include in-text citations and/or a works cited foliaceous, that writer has plagiarized because he or she has neglected to tolerate the publication information of the descent. In increase, when a reviewer locates undocumented randomness in an essay, she will potency think that the information was made up by the writer or that the information was stolen from a source, or plagiarised. And when a umpire peruses a generator's works cited page, she can see the types of sources exploited by the source, assessing those sources in toll of their credibility. E.g., if a reader reads my works cited page and sees I citation sources from university presses such as Oxford UP and Cambridge UP, she will agnise that I've incorporated credible sources into my search paper. Thus, including both in-text citations and a works cited foliaceous in a explore newsprint provides the generator with ethos, or credibility.
Now let's take a horizon how to veracious format a working cited page according to MLA guidelines:
According to MLA forge guidelines, the flora cited page should look after the eubstance of your composition and any incidental endnotes. It should beginning on a new foliate, and the pagination should masking from the body of the paper. In the above exercising, the works cited page begins on rapscallion 38, which way that the try concluded on page 37.
Oecumenical set
The engraft cited foliated should be double-spaced throughout. The showtime counterpoint of each entryway should be recoil with the leftover margin; if the entering extends more one limit, ensuing lines should be indented 1/2 in from the left tolerance. The runner page of the working cited diagnose should expect the backing Works Cited, not Bibliography. The works cited elan should looking in like style as the theme's gloss: capitalized and centered—not bolded, interior reference marks, italicized, underlined, or in a larger web baptistery.

Hi, my name is Tristan. I am trying to look as good as I can by August.
Here's me trying to explain my situation:
I look like I have a "Beer Gut" So I'm over weight, but not obese. My legs are the most muscular part of my body thus far. My back is the most out of shape part of my body (in my eyes). My real goal is to get as big as possible, but I know that can't happen by August.
Here's a plan I came up with until I can take a more professional approach..
Monday thru Friday:
Time: 8am-12pm
Time: About 6:00pm-7:30pm
Time (length): 1:10.
Any advice, info, question, etc. Are very much welcome :)
|All times are GMT -8. The time now is 08:41 AM.

The hotel is well laid out in terms of the bar area combined with reception.
The restaurant and public areas were good. There were TV's on showing sport on a large screen. Staff were friendly and informal, a nice understated touch. Only real downside was being charged £8 a night to use the car park. An unfortunate charge more and more hotels are adopting.

Not what we expected
As we arrived we had trouble with getting into the car park (had to park elsewhere and go in to be able to speak to someone).
As you walk in its a bar and also the reception, but the women was busy chatting to someone and completely ignored us as we walked in, so I walked around to speak to her and asked where reception was and she said 'here'.... So it wasn't a great start.
You have to pay £8 per night for the car park (providing they actually have a space free) so thankfully we were only there for the 1 night.
Once in the room we had a very temperamental TV, so it would either come on straight away, or we would spend 10 minutes trying to get it to turn on, fairly frustrating when the rugby was on. We had the superior room, and there wasn't anything 'superior' about it for £74 per night (late booked). We had a dirty towel and floor towel (It looked like someone's red/purple hair dye) and no matter how low we turned the air conditioning down, we still had to sleep without the sheets, all night. I wouldn't ever stay there again or recommend, although there was one guy on reception who was kind enough and the bar area looked pretty good, other than that, I would say it wasn't worth the money paid for.

Woody Guthrie in Los Angeles
Woody Guthrie
On July 10, four days before the 100th anniversary of Woody Guthrie's birth, Smithsonian Folkways released the legendary folk singer's oldest known recordings for the first time. The songs, part of a massive box set titled Woody at 100: The Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection, take Los Angeles as their subject matter and were recorded here. They offer insight into the developing mind of Guthrie, a young man at a political and personal crossroads.
Who was that man, and how does he differ from the iconic figure portrayed by history? In addition to shedding light on Guthrie's time in Los Angeles, the recordings paint him as more than simply a radical communist or a champion of the people. Rather, they show him to be a born entertainer with a keen eye toward his career, trying hard to succeed in show business.
Uncovered by author and researcher Peter La Chapelle in 1999 at Los Angeles' Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research, the recordings are presumed to be from 1939, which predates Guthrie's influential 1940 album, Dust Bowl Ballads. These newly discovered recordings consist of four songs: "Ain't Got No Home," "Do-Re-Mi," "Big City Ways" and "Skid Row Serenade." The latter two were never rerecorded anywhere else and had remained largely unknown until La Chapelle unearthed them.
A 42-year-old associate history professor at Nevada State College with a studious disposition, La Chapelle is the author of the 2007 book Proud to Be an Okie: Cultural Politics, Country Music and Migration to Southern California. He found the discs while writing his dissertation about Dust Bowl migrants. During research for a chapter on Guthrie in 1999, he contacted Harry Hay, known for helping found the pioneering gay-rights organization Mattachine Society and friends with Will Geer, who starred in the popular TV show The Waltons and was a close friend of Guthrie's.
Hay told La Chapelle that he obtained some Guthrie recordings during the 1930s and used to play them at left-wing cocktail parties, but that he had donated them to the Southern California Library. After a little digging, La Chapelle found them; the library had no idea what it was sitting on. Hay died of lung cancer three years later.
The found recordings had orange labels and were pressed onto double-sided "Presto" discs, 10-inch, lacquer-covered aluminum records, which run at 78 rpm, and which were used by radio stations of the era to record and archive broadcasts. One of their sleeves had "Woody Guthrie, 1937" written on it, but La Chapelle contends that they were more likely made in 1939, as Guthrie's own meticulous songbooks date "Big City Ways" to that year. That means they were recorded at the tail end of Guthrie's time in Los Angeles — which he left at the close of 1939 — and present a picture of his final year here.
Guthrie was born in Okemah, Okla., the son of a middle-class real estate man. He spent much of his adolescence without parental supervision, after a series of calamitous fires left his mother institutionalized and debt forced his father to seek work in Texas. After a period of drifting around the country in his early 20s, Guthrie lived in Los Angeles from 1937 to 1939. Though his first residence was at a 25-cent-a-night flophouse, he landed a job running a series of radio shows at KFVD in Glendale, where La Chapelle thinks the songs were recorded. One program, with his cousin Jack "Oklahoma" Guthrie, was called "The Oklahoma and Woody Show." The program sought to make rural people feel at home in the big city, as the Dust Bowl had sent tens of thousands of them to Los Angeles in the '30s. Full of cowboy ballads and hillbilly songs, it was, without question, commercial radio meant to appeal to a large audience.
Woody Guthrie appeared interested in furthering his own career as a mainstream country musician, something critics and historians tend to overlook, La Chapelle says. During this time, Guthrie was mostly singing the type of music he played on his program.
"One thing that these recordings really show is that Woody was a work in progress — he really evolved," La Chapelle says. "They show he was considering a more commercial career."
Indeed, the tune of "Skid Row Serenade" is lifted from a Delmore Brothers hit called "Brown's Ferry Blues."

Guthrie in his Los Angeles years was thus clearly more complex than a simple folk hero, as the left would have him, or a militant Stalinist, as the right would. A quote from his memoir detailing how he used advertising and show business techniques to promote Los Angeles unions is telling: "We used every trick and device of the trades of salesmen, show men, P.T. Barnum's, Flo Zeigfelds, Jimmie Rodgers, and every twist of the nipple that filled California's dry and native soul with a fighting kind, a more personal, human, kind of folk song, folk dance, folk yell." Here was a man who knew how to sell his ideas of radicalism.
Los Angeles was where Guthrie's political self began to manifest itself — he began writing a column for local left-wing and Communist newspapers such as The People's World and made friends with political activists like Hay, developing the acumen to later create some of the greatest populist art ever made. (Guthrie was a noted painter and doodler as well.)
KFVD station owner and Democratic activist Frank Burke allowed for increasingly leftist and populist content to be broadcast on his station, even giving Guthrie his own show in 1938, called Woody, The Lone Wolf. He'd become more than just a "hillbilly act" — he had a show with the creative freedom to say what was on his mind.
That these four songs were made during Guthrie's L.A. years makes perfect sense — they are an intersection of traditional song structures and disarmingly political lyrics. Having reappropriated the jangly Delmore Brothers rhythm in "Skid Row Serenade," he sings about the hardships of the homeless on Fifth Street, crooning in an exaggerated Okie twang: "My senator sent me down on the Skid Row. I thought he was tops but he's rotten as the crops and as filthy as the flops on the Skid Row."
The lyrics of "Big City Ways" would still resonate today: "The banker got his furniture/Got him a job on the WPA but got laid off the other day/Momma mops a rich man's floor." Guthrie would have been right at home singing this at an Occupy rally.
"There is that little bit of politics that comes through. It's the seed," La Chapelle says. "Perhaps we're hearing the gestation process."
Guthrie left for New York in 1940 and went on to record the classic Dust Bowl Ballads there, which would influence generations of musicians and was revived in the 1960s by Bob Dylan and others. But Los Angeles made a deep impression on him. In 1941, Guthrie wrote in a letter to archivist Alan Lomax that Los Angeles "is full of people that work and talk a working man's lingo, no matter what tongue or color."
Guthrie's greatest gift was to put into words emotions that everyone could understand and feel deeply, and it seems likely Los Angeles helped him evolve as an artist.
