The sequestration cuts are set to start taking place this Friday. Obama and his team have been ranting about how these cuts are going to destroy government education, research and development and healthcare. If only that were the case. The proposed $85 billion to $1.2 trillion in across-the-board cuts will be spread over 10 years, and by the time the GOP compromises like the great team players that they are, it will be even less. And why is Obama's team even blaming the GOP anyway? The sequestration cuts were his idea. Even the Washington Post admits the cuts were the President's idea, but they claim the President didn't actually intend on going through with them:
"It is the result of a 2011 deal forged by the White House and Congress to reduce federal borrowing. It was intended as a draconian measure so blunt that it would force lawmakers to find alternative means of reducing the budget deficit."
So, the President thinks up this whole sequestration thing in hopes that it will be so "extreme" that it would force the GOP to agree to some other means of reducing the deficit, namely more taxes. And when the GOP refuse to talk about even more tax hikes, the Democrats blame the GOP for wanting to destroy jobs. I'm so glad our elected representatives are thinking about the future of this country instead of playing stupid strategy games.
In the same Washington Post article, they claim that the Washington D.C. area schools will be hit the hardest by the sequestration cuts. But the American Spectator pointed out that the proposed cuts won't actually throw school teachers out on the streets to be homeless and hungry as the President wants everyone to believe:
"According to the president's itemized hysterics, the District will lose $533,000 as a result of the sequester. Washington currently budgets $805.1 million for public schools. That means the meat cleaver sequester would lop off a whopping 0.06% of Washington's public schools budget. Likewise Virginia spends about $6.5 billion on primary and secondary education at the state level. Sequestration removes $14 million, a .02% cut. Maryland spends about $7 billion and loses $14.4 million through sequestration, another .02% decrease."
And not only that, but Washington D.C. is running a $140 million surplus. (I guess those speed and red light tickets really pay off.) And they're hysterical over a half-a-million dollar cut?

Was This Character In Toy Story 2 Secretly A Villain In Disguise?
In Toy Story 2, villains Stinky Pete, Al the Toy Collector, and Emperor Zurg all had their agendas, but what if they weren't the only characters with something sinister up their sleeves? No, we're not talking about Woody or Buzz. We're talking about the sweet, innocent penguin, Wheezy, whom Woody saved from the yard sale of doom.
What if Wheezy wasn't so sweet and innocent after all? That's what Reddit user TheCircleOfKnife believes. He or she theorizes that Wheezy was actually way shadier than he appeared. DUN DUN DUN.
The film mentioned Wheezy had been up on the shelf for several months due to a broken squeaker, and thus, received no playtime with Andy. "Toys can be jealous of one another," the Reddit user wrote, which could explain why Wheezy might have felt left out after having to watch The Woody and Buzz Show, starring Andy, all the time.
Wheezy Was the One Who Noticed the Yard Sale
"What's the point in prolonging the inevitable? We're all just one stitch away from here … to there," Wheezy dramatically said, while motioning to the yard sale outside. Notice how it was Woody who tried to hide Wheezy, not Wheezy himself. According to TheCircleOfKnife, Wheezy decided to take advantage of Woody's heroic nature, knowing "he would definitely try to save Wheezy, and probably end up getting sold instead." This would've knocked Woody out of the picture and given Wheezy a better chance to get back into Andy's life.
Wheezy Didn't Try to Secure Himself During the Rescue Mission
TheCircleOfKnife points out how Wheezy should've placed his arms outside Buster's collar, so he'd have had a stronger hold, but he didn't. This forced heroic Woody to re-secure the penguin, which caused Woody to tumble off Buster. Notice how Wheezy didn't say anything when Woody fell; he just let Buster keep on a-runnin'.
Wheezy Played Everything off with a Song and Dance Number at the End
His euphoria at having Woody back made sense, since Woody clearly had no idea this whole ordeal was due to a squeaker-less penguin who was jealous AF. Wheezy went on to sing "You've Got a Friend in Me" while everyone laughed and danced along. TheCircleOfKnife noted the song and dance moment could've been because Wheezy, "A. Felt a ton of guilt Or B. Tried to cover up his actions with a quick musical number." As one does, I guess.
We're onto you now, Wheezy.

An Unlikely Hero
Passion and purpose are sometimes hidden from view by the complexities of the world and the daily stresses of our lives. They reveal themselves when we are ready, through serendipitous experiences that cement our belief that this is what we are meant to be doing. For Brolin Mawejje, it was a constant evolution but his passion was sparked in 2004 when he was 12 years old and saw snow for the first time.

These contests also take place annually to engage people of all ages in British Columbia and beyond in creative peace-themed artworks.
The submissions to the contests by children are used to create and annually expand a 'Dictionary of Peace for the children by the children" and those submitted by adults will add on to GPA's database of peacebuilding and conflict transformation ideas and concepts for the adults by the adults. Winning works will also be exhibited in public venues.
The festival this year will have ample fun activities for the young, such as face-painting, origami peace doves and poetry. This is a free event open to the public. Refreshments will be served. The date, time, and the venue of the festival are as follows:

- May everyone care for the needs of others and share what is available in a more equitable manner!
- May no one take vengeance for past wrongs of others!
- May everyone always acts responsibly in a trustworthy and reliable manner!

"Thank you for my job. I work real hard and I have a lot of friends and The HEART Program is the best job ever."
A H.E.A.R.T.-felt Good-Bye to our trainee, Josh (1985-2019). He enjoyed meeting people and telling them what he did for a living – working at H.E.A.R.T. A party often was not a party until Josh showed up!
Josh was a strong-minded individual who always knew how to advocate for something he believed in. He loved public speaking, telling stories about his family, and posing for pictures. When working, he was resourceful and determined; once he set a goal in his mind, nothing could deter him until he reached his goal. We have so many memories with Josh, and he will always be a part of H.E.A.R.T.
Looking back at the moments in this video we relive so many pieces of Josh's story and we are grateful and honored to be a part of them.
UHD and H.E.A.R.T. Team Up To Educate and Employ Adults with I/DD.
The University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) and the Housing, Entrepreneurship And Readiness Training (H.E.A.R.T.) Program have created an initiative to help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities rejoin the workforce and continue to recover from Hurricane Harvey.
The H.E.A.R.T. Program was founded in 2006 to create new opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities to achieve their potential. H.E.A.R.T.'s mission is to promote structured independence for individuals with developmental disabilities by providing innovative education, training, housing and employment programs. H.E.A.R.T.'s philosophy is that everyone deserves the opportunity to excel and experience the sense of pride and accomplishment that is achieved through education and employment.
The innovative pilot project is being funded by two recently-awarded grants totaling $1.1 million from the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC).
UHD's Center for Public Service and Community Research and H.E.A.R.T. have developed a Continuing Education Certificate Program to help those with I/DD advance their education and gain career-building skills. Program participants will attend on-campus classes, participate in on-campus internships, off-campus externships and a final capstone project prior to graduation. Students will be paired with UHD student mentors, who will provide guidance and support during a three-semester course of study.
The program will accommodate up to 80 students. 32 students began on Sept. 24. H.E.A.R.T. is currently accepting applications for 48 students to begin in the Spring of 2019.
"We are grateful for this funding from Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) and excited about partnering with UHD to offer new opportunities for adults with intellectual disabilities in our community," said Jane Borochoff, executive director of H.E.A.R.T. "This partnership will afford individuals the opportunity to not only earn a continuing education certificate from UHD, it will also provide a meaningful workforce experience."
"This project exemplifies what our Center stands for," Steven Villano, director of UHD's Center for Public Service and Community Research, explains, "partnering with the community to initiate and develop collaborative relationships that bring about positive change and facilitates community-based research."
Applications for the Continuing Education Certificate Program are being accepted now. For more information about the program, please contact H.E.A.R.T. at 713-692-4278 or email Shyra Baron at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cactus is an open source problem solving environment designed for scientists and engineers. Its modular structure easily enables parallel computation across different architectures and collaborative code development between different groups. Cactus originated in the academic research community, where it was developed and used over many years by a large international collaboration of physicists and computational scientists.
Cactus is a framework intended to integrate with user-written modules. In order to facilitate this while allowing the best possible performance on all machines, it is distributed as source code with an open-source licence.
Versions and Availability
▶ Display Softenv Keys for cactus on all clusters
|Softenv Key
|None Available
▶ Softenv FAQ?
The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using SoftEnv. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
SoftEnv is a utility that is supposed to help users manage complex user environments with potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
System Default Path
When a user logs in, the system /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc (depending on login shell, and mirrored from csm:/cfmroot/etc/profile) calls /usr/local/packages/softenv-1.6.2/bin/use.softenv.sh to set up the default path via the SoftEnv database.
SoftEnv looks for a user's ~/.soft file and updates the variables and paths accordingly.
Viewing Available Packages
The command softenv will provide a list of available packages. The listing will look something like:
$ softenv These are the macros available: * @default These are the keywords explicitly available: +amber-8 Applications: 'Amber', version: 8 Amber is a +apache-ant-1.6.5 Ant, Java based XML make system version: 1.6. +charm-5.9 Applications: 'Charm++', version: 5.9 Charm++ +default this is the default environment...nukes /etc/ +essl-4.2 Libraries: 'ESSL', version: 4.2 ESSL is a sta +gaussian-03 Applications: 'Gaussian', version: 03 Gaussia ... some stuff deleted ...
Managing SoftEnv
The file ~/.soft in the user's home directory is where the different packages are managed. Add the +keyword into your .soft file. For instance, ff one wants to add the Amber Molecular Dynamics package into their environment, the end of the .soft file should look like this:
To update the environment after modifying this file, one simply uses the resoft command:
% resoft
The command soft can be used to manipulate the environment from the command line. It takes the form:
$ soft add/delete +keyword
Using this method of adding or removing keywords requires the user to pay attention to possible order dependencies. That is, best results require the user to remove keywords in the reverse order in which they were added. It is handy to test out individual keys, but can lead to trouble if changing multiple keys. Changing the .soft file and issuing the resoft is the recommended way of dealing with multiple changes.
▶ Display Module Names for cactus on all clusters.
|None Available
▶ Module FAQ?
The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.

Modules is a utility which helps users manage the complex business of setting up their shell environment in the face of potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
Default Setup
When a user logs in, the system looks for a file named .modules in their home directory. This file contains module commands to set up the initial shell environment.
Viewing Available Modules
The command
$ module avail
displays a list of all the modules available. The list will look something like:
--- some stuff deleted --- velvet/1.2.10/INTEL-14.0.2 vmatch/2.2.2 ---------------- /usr/local/packages/Modules/modulefiles/admin ----------------- EasyBuild/1.11.1 GCC/4.9.0 INTEL-140-MPICH/3.1.1 EasyBuild/1.13.0 INTEL/14.0.2 INTEL-140-MVAPICH2/2.0 --- some stuff deleted ---
The module names take the form appname/version/compiler, providing the application name, the version, and information about how it was compiled (if needed).
Managing Modules
Besides avail, there are other basic module commands to use for manipulating the environment. These include:
add/load mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . Add modules rm/unload mod1 mod2 ... modn . . Remove modules switch/swap mod . . . . . . . . . Switch or swap one module for another display/show . . . . . . . . . . List modules loaded in the environment avail . . . . . . . . . . . . . . List available module names whatis mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . . Describe listed modules
The -h option to module will list all available commands.

Damian Creamer answers a lot of questions that those looking into online school ask.
His credentials:
Damian Creamer>, founder of Primavera Online High School, was the guest last week on Live Talk Wednesday, talking about secondary education via the computer.
Creamer formerly was an enrollment counselor at the University of Phoenix.
"Their (online) program was in its infancy and it was a unique opportunity to be involved with such a dynamic organization as they pioneered online education at the post-secondary level," he said.
Afterward, he helped a small charter school in the West Valley found two additional charter schools.
Creamer opened Primavera Technical Learning Center (the predecessor to Primavera Online High School) in 2001.

Dave Grohl is one of my favorite dudes in the world but he needs to hop off my radar for a minute. I'm a mega Nirvana fan and I've always admired Dave for his talent and humor, but lately I can't seem to get him out of my face. His mug is everywhere.
It all seemed to start almost a decade ago when Grohl became a talking head on VH1-type shows, providing expert commentary on some of his favorite bands. He was loose, informed, entertaining. Everybody loved him. Once his skills were exposed, he quickly became the go-to guy for a good sound bite as a talking head, a special guest or a drop-in drummer. He seems to be able to do everything (and do it well), so he's useful in many situations. Producers have decided that he's their No. 1 man — his presence is clearly seen as an improvement to any event. He slowly moved from his long-held role of rock & roll everyman into professional event attendee.
And now, oh now, the man is everywhere. I barely even watch television, and he still manages to make it on any screen near me with the frequency of the rising sun. Grohl is like a freakin' jack-in-the-box — you know he's going to pop up, you just don't know when. One of my favorite games is to try to spot him during major televised events. I don't know dick about football, so I spent the majority of the last Superbowl game scanning the crowd shots for his floppy hair — like a post-grunge version of Where's Waldo. I didn't see him during my Superbowl party, but I saw a photograph of him later after the game and felt validated. He was there. Of course he was there. I knew it.
Award show? Grohl is there. Major festival? Grohl is playing it. High-profile collaboration? Grohl designed it. Supergroup? Grohl is up in it. Featured drummer? Grohl can do that. Receiving honors? Grohl is good at it. Star-studded tributes? Grohl jumps in. Music documentary? Grohl makes them. Rock the vote? Grohl rocks it all night. Photobombs? Grohl kills. Film festival? Grohl can hang. One-off performances? Grohl makes it happen. Television cameo? Grohl picks the X-Files. Country music? Grohl loves it. Foo Fighters videos? Grohl does them perfectly. Charity events? Grohl participates. Led Zeppelin? Grohl digs 'em. Internet memes? Grohl makes a fresh one. Protesting? Grohl does it in costume. iPhone party? Grohl wants in on that action. Lemmy time? Grohl steals the show. Punk legends? Grohl knows them. Video-game conventions? Grohl is the wizard. Late-night talk shows? Grohl does Letterman. Roling Stones concerts? Grohl makes them better. Producing sitcoms? Grohl thinks it's easy. Birthday celebration? Grohl works those. Saturday Night Live? Grohl is the most frequent musical guest. Video guest star? Grohl wiggles on in. Surprise gigs? Grohl is all over it. South by Southwest? Grohl gives the keynote address.
Forget about Kurt Cobain: Grohl is clearly the voice of our generation — if only because he never lets anyone else speak.
There's a reason that his number is always called: He's smart, he's funny, he speaks well, he's good-looking and he always seems to be in on the joke. He's an affable dude, and his laid-back nature and casual cursing makes him seem like cool big brother. Grohl is nearly universally loved. He just gets it. And he seems to genuinely enjoy making fun, collaborative things happen during otherwise boring events. There are very few people who most of us would like to kick it with, and Grohl just seems like the kind of guy who would never have to buy his own shot in any bar on the planet.
Last year, Grohl released his Sound City documentary. It's pretty excellent, though it did sort of seem like 108 minutes of justifying Grohl's eventual purchase of the Sound City Neve board. (Apparently the most holy console since the Megasound 8000 in Josie and the Pussycats.) This documentary served as his official entrance into the film world, so expect him to expand his appearance résumé to include events that aren't musical at all. In this and other mediums, Grohl seems to be the opposite of everything that his generation is usually accused of (unambitious, lazy, directionless). Homeboy is going to get it all done, no matter what.
Lately, Grohl seems to be fixated on sucking at the teat of Paul McCartney. But if you're going to cling like a baby rhesus monkey to somebody, it might as well be the only living Beatle. (Shut up; nobody counts Ringo.) Still, Grohl seems to have been a barnacle on Sir Paul's nards ever since they got together to make a Sound City song. They've played together many times since then and just a few days ago, Grohl performed "Hey Bulldog" in that Grammys tribute to the Beatles. (Shit, Grohl could even pass for George Harrison at this point.)
Despite his many ass-kissing obligations, Grohl always seems to find a way to give back, too. His counterprotests of Westboro Baptist Church, participation in charity/awareness events and the small ways that he always seems to try to give back to fans do not go entirely unnoticed — but sometimes it's hard to see these beautiful little gestures through the absolute blizzard of Grohl appearances.
So is Dave Grohl good? Yeah, he's fucking great. And if he is our new cultural king, then we should welcome him — we could do much worse. But right now he's like the ex that won't stop texting you. You feel smothered. You wanna be like, "Dude, if you would just get up out of my business, like, ever, I would like you so much more." So go away, Dave Grohl. But don't stay gone forever, just enough to make us miss you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and we'll be ready to love you again later, but for right now you just need to get up out of my face for a while, OK?

On Pop Music and Violence Against Women
On Pop Music and Violence Against Women
By Jaime Lees
Wed., Feb. 5 2014
I can't stop thinking about Rihanna. Her single, "Stay," came out a year ago this month and it's still omnipresent. I'll hear it on the radio, in the grocery store and played on the jukebox at a bar by some sad bastard with no concept of appropriate public drinking tunes. The song won't go away, and neither will my conflicted feelings about Rihanna, her life and her music. Just like many others, the thing I most associate with Rihanna is the horrible act of documented domestic abuse she endured at the hands of her then-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, in 2009.
Whenever I hear "Stay," I get all twisted up inside. That's kind of the point of depressing songs, anyway, but there's an extra layer of icky-feeling that builds up inside of me. I love the song and think it's pretty amazing, actually, but it also kind-of makes me feel nauseated. I think it's because of those pictures. Whenever I think about her, I can't help but think about violence against women and some of my friends who have survived it.
Should I let the personal lives of pop stars influence how I feel about their music? No, that's silly. They're just pop stars. Who gives a dick about their personal lives, anyway, right? Well, sometimes I do. I wish I didn't, but I do.
I'm one of the few women I know who has never been seriously assaulted. I've never been raped, I've never been a victim of violent crime and a man has never to raised a fist to me in anger. While some might say that's because I'm aware of my surroundings or I'm tough or I'm too smart to get trapped in a bad situation: They are wrong. I am just lucky. That is it.
I have, for sure, faced sexual harassment and unwanted sexual advances. This happens at least twice a month and it's usually in public places and is perpetrated by strangers. Inappropriate words spoken to me are usually countered with harsher words from me. And any fools who have dared to touch, grab or pinch my body parts without permission have experienced the swift smack of my hand to their face. Maybe that's not wise, but it's my automatic reaction.
And as a younger female music fan, I had plenty of women to look up to– my generation was particularly lucky to have Riot Grrrls as our honorary big sisters. The Riot Grrrl movement was a new wave of feminism that encouraged women to be smart, strong and safe. Their "take-no-shit" message was spread through various formats: art, 'zines and, especially, music. "Riot Grrrl" eventually became a dated tag applied to any young woman out to express her opinion, especially if she was at all angry or "nervy," but the scene stands as a small, yet powerful cultural revolution.
I don't mean to be all "get off my lawn," but I don't see anything like this in modern music. Sure, there are strong women, but they aren't organized together and don't seem to support each other in the same way. It seems as though most of the current big-name women entertainers are pop stars, not rockers. But sometimes rockers pay attention to pop music, too.
Just last week a I watched a video of Patti Smith covering Rihanna's "Stay" at Smith's 67th birthday show. From the stage, Smith described the song as "the 2013 song of the year." Smith is a hero of mine, and this made my weird obsession with that song feel justified.
After watching Smith sing her heartbreaking live version, I looked up Rihanna's official video for the song. Despite hearing bits of it approximately 100 times, I'd never seen the video. (I'm a music person, not a TV person.) And guess what? The video made me feel even worse about the whole goddamn thing. It's Rihanna, vulnerable and naked in a bath tub, and there are lots of close clips of her face as she's singing. In these tight shots, what I assume to be a scar from the Chris Brown attack shows on her top lip. (It's in the same place where her lip was broken in the police photographs.) Her pretty face, all scarred up, as she's singing, "I want you to stayyyyy…"
While we adults might have the ability to separate the artist from the what we perceive as the message (or realize that a song might not be autobiographical — Rihanna didn't even write "Stay"), younger fans can't be expected to analyze in the same way. This song, and her defensiveness of Brown in the months following the attack, might best serve as insight into the psychology of an abused woman and the systematic and powerful methods of abusers.
Many people (mostly parents of little girls) were pissed that Rihanna seemed to make excuses for Brown in interviews following the incident. They argued that when you're an entertainer, you forfeit the right to deal with this kind of public situation in a private manner — you may not defend or in any way stand by your abusive boyfriend. Parents argued that Rihanna was a role model and that sometimes entertainers actually do have a small responsibility to set an example for their younger fans.
I don't mean to blame the victim, but I, too, was disappointed with how that all played out. But I don't necessarily think that it's Rihanna's job to provide guidance to to young people and I wouldn't rely on any pop star to relay that message properly, either. So when this particular abuse story became public, I felt the need to talk to my pre-teen little sisters and make sure that they understood the situation. I wanted to make sure that they didn't think this was acceptable. I tried to explain to them the complicated and convoluted thought process that is common in victims of abuse. And I wanted to make sure they knew that Chris Brown is an asshole.
I can be reactionary, and if I had been a fan of Chris Brown I probably would've gotten rid of all of his music upon seeing those horrifying photos. I'd like to think that I couldn't be a fan of a man who would do that kind of thing to a woman — but it's simply not true. Many, and I mean many, of my favorite artists are unsavory characters at best. Most of them probably have morals that aren't in agreement with mine. And if I think about it hard enough, some of them are known woman abusers.
My music collection contains absolute shitloads of jerks, creeps and murderers. In my personal life I have a zero-tolerance policy for men who hurt women, children or animals. I don't believe in rehabilitation for crimes against these groups, either. I'm of the opinion that men who cross these boundaries once will cross them again. But apparently this hard-line stance doesn't apply to my musical tastes. And if you think that every musical artist you love shares your same values, however serious or trivial they may be, think again.
I'm from St. Louis, which is probably considered a land of misogynists and apologists to outsiders because of the adoration we openly give to our hometown musicians like Chuck Berry and Ike Turner — both known enemies of women. But still, I have tons of tunes by Berry and tracks from both Ike and Tina, separately and combined. (Tina Turner, another badass woman who was famously a victim of abuse.) Michael Jackson is in there, too. He was accused multiple times of inappropriate relationships with children, but that didn't stop him from being the biggest pop star in the world and having the majority of humans continue to hold him like the river Jordan. And though some referred to it as a "rape anthem," I've been known to shake it to Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines." Shit, even Charles Manson made some good tunes.
Phil Spector had a big long history of terrorizing women, until one day he finally went to prison for killing one. But that doesn't stop me from cranking the dial up to maximum volume any time I hear "Be My Baby." I think "Be My Baby" is the best song ever written and whatever Phil Spector did or didn't do in his life seems like it will never dampen my love for that song.
R. Kelly is accused of preying on underage females, which is particularly disgusting. (The Village Voice recently ran an excellent interview with respected music critic Jim DeRogatis on the subject.) But when I hear R. Kelly I don't usually think about his scandals. In fact, I've worn a necklace repping R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)" nearly every day since I got it last year. I love that necklace. And I love that stupid song.
So what the hell is wrong with me? Do I willfully overlook an artist's abusive past if I like to "bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce" to their song? Does a necklace really matter? Why do some artists trigger a reaction in me while others seem to get a pass? What gives here? Should I be thinking harder about all of this? Should I be thinking less about all of this?
There's a common criticism of feminists that we're too serious or can't take a joke or that every "little thing" doesn't have to be a fight, but I think some things are worth fighting for and that it's always appropriate to have a discussion about the safety of women.
Logically, I don't think that a pop star's personal life should influence how I feel about their music, but clearly, it's still an issue in my life. Maybe it shouldn't be, but there's something that's uncomfortable for me here. And when I'm uncomfortable I speak out. Or scream. Many thanks to the Riot Grrrls for teaching me about the power of the female voice — I intend to keep using it.

Interview with Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth
Sonic Youth 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 17.
Live on the Levee, under the Gateway Arch. Free.
Electric Youth: Sonic Youth and Kim Gordon continue to age gracefully with a new LP, The Eternal
By Jaime Lees
In their 28-year career, indie-rock godfathers Sonic Youth have experienced unprecedented success — and had unparalleled staying power. Credit this longevity to the band's stability: Guitarist/vocalist Lee Ranaldo, drummer Steve Shelley, bassist/vocalist Kim Gordon and guitarist/vocalist/her husband Thurston Moore have launched numerous side projects, completed countless world tours and released copius rarites and studio albums.
The band's Matador Records-released latest, The Eternal, marks its return to an independent label. (It had been with Geffen since 1990's Goo.) But Eternal is the perfect extension of the Sonic Youth catalog, a hybrid of resonant guitar textures and jammy, jazzed-out, free-form experimentation. The album evokes Daydream Nation's unpredictable explosiveness and the near-psychedelic, extended harmonies of Washing Machine, but it isn't a musical progression as much as it is a lateral move. That in particular is Sonic Youth's trademark: Although each new album the band releases might contain heavier guitars, additional harmonies or more noise, they all maintain that nebulous Sonic Youth quality. There's something special about the dreamy pop blasts that the band creates together; instead of their dueling talents triggering a compromise, it feels as though collaboration enriches the Sonic Youth sound.
As Sonic Youth's bassist and one of its songwriters, Kim Gordon has long been an inspiration to younger musicians. As one of the few females in a respected, long-running rock band, Gordon is thought of as the cool, MILF-y matriarch of indie rock. But unlike many women, she's praised as much for her musical input as she is for her good looks and hushed, lusty voice. Her contributions to the band have rarely been as pronounced as they are on Eternal, on which she sings lead on several tracks, and her imposing bass lines sweep boldly through the din.
A prolific visual artist, Gordon is also accomplished in many other disciplines — including painting, drawing, writing, producing and organizing both art and music events. She's also fronted two successful fashion lines, X-Girl and the new Mirror/Dash, which is sold at Urban Outfitters. On the eve of Sonic Youth's current tour, we spoke with Gordon about how she balances her multiple interests with life on the road. She has a reputation as being private — even aloof — in interviews, but we found her to be inviting, engaging and downright giggly.
Jaime Lees: You have so many different projects. How do you decide what you're going to work on? Is it deadlines?
Kim Gordon: Yeah, deadlines. Exactly. Well, with the art stuff, some things you have to create [on deadline], either projects with someone or sometimes you get asked for a show. I work on ideas and stuff, but when it really comes down to it, it's all about a deadline.
Do you complete your art first and then look for a show for it, or do you hear about an interesting show and want to create something for it?
It's kind of a little of both. Right now I'm in this show in Graz in Austria, a group show. I don't usually like group shows, but this one was interesting. I like the curator [Diedrich Diederichsen]. He's a writer before he's a curator. [Along with] my friend, Jutta Koether, who's an artist, they asked us if we wanted to do a collaboration.
So how can you spend half of your life on the road and still be painting?
Well, this has been a really busy spring, but generally we just tour around a record. We're not one of those bands that goes on tour for a year or something. We have a daughter, and Lee has kids so, you know, I try and tour around her school schedule. We've been gone a lot this spring already, so it's hard. And I think it's actually harder for moms to leave their kids. I know some people say, "How come people don't make a big deal about asking fathers what it's like to go on the road?" It is hard for them, too, but I think it's easier if you have one parent at home that's taking care of it.
Do you bring her [daughter Coco] with you on tour?
Sometimes. But as she's gotten older she's been able to stay home with someone. And she prefers to stay home. [Laughs]
When you're out touring and you get to each new city, do you have something you like to do there? You know, like some people like to find the city's best restaurant or used bookstore or whatever.
Oh yeah, we're totally into picking out good restaurants. And actually, Mark [Ibold, of Pavement fame], who is playing bass with us now, he's really great at looking up food websites, and he always knows about places to try. But when we first started touring, it was always like, "Where's the good barbecue place?" [Laughs] So when we get to a city, sometimes we'll get day rooms at a hotel. We usually have a few hours during the day to hang out before we do sound check, and sometimes we have interviews.
So you have sound check and then you go do your dinner thing before the show?
Sometimes. I mean, you have to eat a certain amount of time before the show. Steve, our drummer, won't eat if it's less than five hours before our show.
Does he get barfy?
[Laughs] He just plays better. And you do play better if you're not full. Nothing like a whole lot of barbecue and then having to go onstage! [Laughs]
So do you get any of your other work done on tour? I mean, it's not like you can paint on the bus…
It's hard. Some people can do a lot of stuff on tour. I can't because I have a perpetual state of exhaustion because I don't sleep on the bus very well. Like, Lee seems to always have little projects he's working on, but I'm not so good. I'm going to try and seek out, like, yoga classes and things like that to offset the barbecue. [Laughs] It's a little anxiety provoking, actually, to have to go away for six weeks. In fact, I'm in the middle of packing right now.
I know, like, how many shoes do you bring? Who knows?
Yeah, it's like, how do I pack all these vitamins? I always over-pack. But you're basically living out of a suitcase for six weeks. It's like, you buy all these clothes [at home], but then you kind of have to say goodbye to them. [Laughs] It's hard to go away during the summer, actually. But it'll be fun once we get going.
Is it easier for you guys when you're touring with another band, because then you have more people around to hang out with? Or is that just annoying?
[Laughs] Well, it can be. You're together all the time, and sometimes you sort of create a distance, because otherwise you would really be irritated all the time. [Laughs] Twelve people on a bus is kind of hard. But anyway, God, it's nice to be asked other questions than normal, you know? I mean, we get tired of the same questions all the time so it's going really well so far. You're doing a good job.
Well, thank you. I'm bored with reading the same questions all the time. So, do you ever have free time? Do you ever have a time where you're at home, and you don't have any huge projects staring at you?
Um, pretty much never. But last summer, we only did a little bit of touring, but that was the first time in maybe twenty years where we hadn't toured in the summer. I mean, it was kind of shocking, actually. But when I'm home I procrastinate about doing things so I can hang out with my friends. Like now, I should be getting my things done, but I'd rather see my friends before I go, so…
So what are you doing when you get back from tour? What's your next big thing?
Well, Mirror/Dash, the clothing line, is kind of an ongoing thing. But for the next project, I have a book I'm working on, my paintings, and I'm sort of working on another painting series. But we're going to do a bunch of touring in the fall, so I'm kind of keeping my schedule as open as I can. I don't want to be too…pressured. But as busy as I am, Thurston has many more projects than I do. I don't know how he does it, really. But it's energizing if you get stuff back from it.

Interview with A.A. Bondy
AA Bondy reinvents himself as an indie-folk artist
By Jaime Lees
Published: February 6, 2008
Though few outside of the indie circuit recognized Verbena, critics and fans hailed the group as the second coming of Nirvana. The comparison was easy to see — and not just because former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl produced the band's 1999 major-label debut, Into the Pink. When Verbena emerged from Birmingham, Alabama, in the late '90s, its sound was dark, powerful and based on a foundation of big pop hooks. Lead singer Scott Bondy in particular came across as very Kurt Cobain-esque, with his lazy, marble-mouthed singing style, snarky attitude and bleached-blond hair. These days, Bondy is all grown up and no longer playing the role of snotty rock kid. Performing solo under his birth name of AA Bondy (the initials stand for August Arthur), he composes enchanting, elegantly sparse indie-folk music. The songs often feature just his voice and an expertly strummed guitar, with the occasional hint of mournful harmonica and handclaps used as percussion.
When he tries to explain the difference between the louder Verbena and his current stripped-back project, Bondy confesses via phone, "I don't really know what I was doing before."
He's certainly figured out what to do on his solo debut, American Hearts (which will be re-released on Fat Possum Records in April). Hearts is a bewitchingly beautiful album that's been embraced as an impressive contribution to the world of nü-folk — largely because the songs don't sound like the "unplugged" indulgences of a former rock guy. They're not stripped down; they're just not decorated with unnecessary wrapping. The songs overflow with unflinching sincerity, and the tiniest details — like the delicate noise of fingers sliding across guitar strings — stand out and seem purposeful.
The way Bondy constructed Hearts reflects this simplistic style: He recorded it in a rickety old barn next to his house in New York. ("It's a really good-sounding barn," he says with a chuckle.) Perhaps as a result, Hearts' lyrics are also unadorned and straightforward, relying heavily on the polarities of good vs. evil, apathy vs. love and God vs. the devil. Still, Bondy finds plenty of room for shrewd statements ("Love, it don't die/It just goes from girl to girl") and optimistic observations ("The barroom is filled with the joy/Of making old friends.")
Many of Hearts' songs also carry a twinge of the '60s protest vibe — meaning that the Bob Dylan comparisons are inevitable. It's no surprise that Bondy has absorbed a penchant for clever lyrics; he cites Tom Waits, Nina Simone and Tom Petty as classic favorites. But of these influences, he fondly explains, "You can't really speak to the nature of what makes things special. But whatever does make things special doesn't really matter. I guess for a listener you just know it is special to you — and that's all that matters."During live shows, Bondy is frequently accompanied by his wife, Clare Felice, who plays the organ. She's from the same family that produced the up-and-coming Americana band the Felice Brothers — a group Bondy lovingly refers to as his brothers and source of inspiration.
Jaime Lees: The stuff you're recording seems very… like, if someone walked into your house, you could be sitting there playing it.
AA Bondy: Yeah, I could.
It seems very intimate — like you're not putting on a kind of show.
Yeah, those songs could exist without any other accompaniment. And they were written that way. Which is one of the main differences between this stuff and anything that happened before it. Those other songs weren't brought to the light of day in that fashion. They were always pieced together. They were… like, a guitar part always came first. They never started with, like, basically a finished song. Which all of these songs did. They were finished songs that things got added to — or didn't.
Is it scary for you to stand up there alone?
When I first started playing by myself, I'd played tons and tons of shows with a band. I didn't even understand how freaked out I was. If you're getting up on stage with a band, it's like you're part of a team. But once you get up there by yourself, it's totally different. 'Cause you're responsible for it all. I like it better. It's more thrilling, at least. I don't get too freaked out anymore, but I used to. When you're by yourself, it's so much easier.
How is your writing different as you've gotten older?
I actually write songs now. [Laughs] You know, I don't just, like, play a guitar part and put some stuff over it. I just know that it feels completely different than it used to. It feels like there's something contained inside of it, as opposed to being like a shell.
The topics seem pretty grown-up — relationships, war. Do you feel like you're getting something out? Does it make you feel better?
Maybe it makes me feel better only in the way something gets completed that I'm somehow satisfied with. Not in the way that I'm saying something, you know. Like, it could be a song about a pile of leaves that I lit on fire and I could feel just as good about that as if it was, like, a so-called song that had something to say.

Published: September 26, 2007
If someone said to you, "Hey, you should totally check out the Secret Handshake. They're, like, ambient electro-emo," what would you do? You'd want to throw up into your Emily the Strange lunch box, right? Well, the truth is: The band's not as bad as you'd expect. The tunes are just ambient enough to be pretty, electro enough to be interesting and hardly emo at all if you ignore the (infrequent) lyrics. There's an indie splash and some pop sprinkles in there, too; at times the better songs sound like a teenage version of the Cars. But if you're over the age of 21, it's not going to get you dancin'. Just stay at the bar and leave this one to the kids. Family Force 5 headlines.
Two Gallants / Les Claypool
Two Gallants/Les Claypool
8 p.m. Friday, June 8. The Pageant, 6161 Delmar Boulevard.
By Jaime Lees
Published: June 6, 2007
The indie-blues duo Two Gallants showcases complex and original folk ballads. The pair's lyrics are at once confessional and cheeky ("If liquor's a lover, you know I'm a whore") and its songs are gritty, somber and (sometimes) uncomfortably sincere. New fans are often lured into its hypnotic live show by dense, emotionally naked songs. Two Gallants also has a witchy ability to enchant: Often when its set is over, the audience collectively wakes up and remembers to snap back to the normal concert-attending reality of getting a drink, taking a piss or talking to their friends. Two Gallants are opening for Les Claypool this time around, but we'd bet the next time they come through town they'll be headlining.

Millions of Americans commute to work. It can be a stressful journey that involves cars, trains, bicycles, and even airplanes. This video breaks down the pros and cons of long commutes — it's by someone who actually has a painfully long one: Vox's Kimberly Mas commutes to Manhattan almost every day. She drives her car to the train station, takes the train to the subway, and finally rides the subway to the Vox office. She's had this routine for a long time and she always wondered what kind of toll it's taking on her. Her reporting shows that, while commutes may just be an unavoidable part of life for many Americans, they don't have to be all bad, all the time.

For those of you just tuning in, Spark, an open source cluster computing framework, was originally developed by Matei Zaharia at U.C. Berkeley's AMPLab in 2009, and later open-sourced and donated to the Apache Foundation. Part of the motivation for creating Spark is that MapReduce only allows a single pass through the data, while machine learning (ML) and graphing algorithms generally need to perform multiple passes.
Spark is billed as a "fast and general engine for large-scale data processing," with a tagline of "Lightning-fast cluster computing." In the world of big data, Spark has been attracting attention and investment because it provides a powerful in-memory data-processing component within Hadoop that deals with both real-time and batch events. In addition to Databricks, Spark has been embraced by the likes of IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Huawei, and Yahoo.
Spark includes MLlib for distributed machine learning and GraphX for distributed graph computation.

The U.K. National Cyber Security Center is warning the nation to be on guard for another wave of cyberattacks after Friday's massive WannaCry ransomware attack.
The nation's National Health Service was severely impacted in Friday's attack, forcing the country to shut down everything but emergency services in hospitals around the U.K.
The National Cyber Security Center was opened by the government in February 2017 to provide a single body for cyber security at a national level. It's part of a five-year strategy announced in late November that's backed by a £1.9 billion investment.

The elevation of Yogi Adityanath as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a strategic decision for the BJP.
The elevation of Yogi Adityanath as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a strategic decision aimed at further boosting the latter's political stock in the country. In the last two days, some commentators have claimed that Yogi may actually prove to be a threat to Modi in the long run. However, such logic is beyond common sense. Yogi is just 45 years old now and he has decades of politics left in him. In contrast, PM Modi, who is already in his 60s, may not remain in active politics for more than 15 years.
At such a young age, Yogi commands huge voters' following in Uttar Pradesh. In Gorakhpur alone, he has been winning Lok Sabha elections since 1998, when he was just 26-years-old. Being the head of a religiously inclined state Uttar Pradesh, Yogi will have the full opportunity to replicate his Gorakhpur model, which thrives on helping the needy, across Uttar Pradesh and become a vote-winning machine for the BJP and PM Modi.
Here are at least five reasons to believe that Yogi is perhaps the best thing ever happened to the BJP and its supporters who want the Modi- rule to continue for several years. The reasons also show that Yogi can actually make Modi invincible, at least in Uttar Pradesh.
- Regular Media focus on UP government, its policies and achievements
Yogi has been infamous for making controversial and often communal remarks against a particular community in past. With him as the Uttar Pradesh CM, the state will get regular media attention. Thus, providing the Yogi government free publicity, if it does well, and help boost PM Modi's image as a man of his words. Politics is afterall about perception.
- Yogi can win over Muslims, and may even find a peaceful solution to Ram temple issue
Even as Yogi has been under serious attack for allegedly being anti-Muslim, in real life the Mahant of Gorakhnath Mutt in Gorakhpur is not a Muslim-hater per se. Even his Mutt employs Muslims for several works and also help needy Muslim community members. Yogi, however, is against Wahabi Islam, which is believed to be the reason behind the rise of terrorism.
- If successful, Yogi will further boost Modi's image as a pro-poor leader and gain their trust
On several occasions, PM Modi has claimed his government's mission is to work for the poor. Uttar Pradesh is one of the poorest states in the country. With the support of Centre, Yogi can work for the poor and help boost Modi's image further.
- With focus on Yogi, Modi will be saved from criticism for his Hindutva, RSS credentials
With Yogi in UP, the liberals and anti-Hindutva intellectuals would tend to focus their words on Yogi. Modi may be finally spared of the criticism for his Hindutva and RSS credentials and it is already happening. A more apparently inclusive Modi's appeal would then further spread the footprint of the saffron party across the country.
- Modi thrives on criticism. With Yogi in UP, more criticism will only improve Modi's appeal and aura.
If you have followed Modi's politics for the last few years, you would know that the PM thrives on criticism. Now that Modi critics have found one more target in the form of Yogi, expect that Modi's appeal will not see a downfall in the coming years.

Life as a Writer, Disney World Cast Member, and
Big Sister through Foster Care & Adoption
Blast From The Past
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
The other night, I talked about the fact that I had found one of my former foster sisters online and sent her a message. Well quite to my surprise, I heard back from her yesterday.
I couldn't believe that she had answered me, and I was so excited to talk to her and find out how her life had turned out. At first, she didn't quite remember us, so I sent her a few pictures in hopes that it might jog her memory. I was so happy that I did so, because seeing pictures of me and my brother as a child with her sparked the memories of her time with us.
My former foster sister and I spoke for quite a while, giving each other basic details on where our lives had gone. I realized that it had been almost fourteen years since we saw her, and yet we were able to talk with each other like no time had passed. Sure, it was odd that this girl who had been my sister knew nothing about my life now, and I knew nothing about her life, but we were able to pick right up again.
My mom had known that I had written to my foster sister, so I filled her in on the fact that she had responded to me. My dad knew nothing; I didn't want to even tell him that I had found my former sister unless she wrote back to me. My cried a little, and my dad's mouth hung open wide when I told him how old this little girl was now. She's certainly not a little girl anymore!
Saying good-bye to a foster child is by far the most difficult part of doing foster care. You know that you won't see or hear from these kids again, even though they were part of your family. I've mentioned before that I was able to get back in touch with my very first foster sister through social media, but she is the only one out of all of my former foster siblings (minus the ones my parents adopted, of course) who I have been able to reconnect with. I don't know where this relationship will go with the sister I just found, but I am excited to see how things go. I look forward to finding old pictures of her time with us and sharing them with her, and hopefully we'll be able to keep in touch now. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!
I'd greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you're sharing on Twitter, don't forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Unfortunately, I did not have another copy of the post anywhere, and so the information was lost. I have re-written the post to the best of my memory, but for those of you who tried to access the post earlier, you may have seen that multiple paragraphs were missing.

My family has been doing foster care since I was three years old. I'm the only biological child in my family, though I now have five permanent siblings. Having nineteen siblings over the course of my lifetime has been an incredible experience, and I'm hoping that by sharing some of the ups and downs of being the only bio kid in a foster family, other foster families or people looking into doing foster care will be able to learn a bit of what life can be like. I also like to share what life is like on my journey to becoming a published author, as well as where my schooling and career choice are taking me.

Texas statutes, rather than providing a definition of what constitutes community property, defines the term in the negative, by stating what is not community property.
"Community property consists of the property, other than separate property, acquired by either spouse during marriage." Texas Family Code § 3.002.
"A spouse's separate property consists of:
(1) the property owned or claimed by the spouse before marriage;
(2) the property acquired by the spouse during marriage by gift, devise, or descent; and
(3) the recovery for personal injuries sustained by the spouse during marriage, except any recovery for loss of earning capacity during marriage."
Texas Family Code § 3.001.
"In a decree of divorce or annulment, the court shall order a division of the estate of the parties in a manner that the court deems just and right, having due regard for the rights of each party and any children of the marriage."
Texas Family Code § 7.001.
With such a subjective and arbitrary standard, how could it be otherwise?
Appeals are extremely expensive. Furthermore, an appellate court will presume that the divorce court's order dividing property is just and right.
In other words, in most cases, it probably will not be worth the time and expense to appeal an "unjust or wrong" divorce court property division order.
But there is good news: Texas couples — who plan ahead — can prevent Texas divorce courts from ever dividing their marital property and — at the same time — each spouse can protect their property from the claims any future creditors might acquire against their spouse's property.
Asset protection planning of this sort is not a "one-size-fits-all" type of proposition, nor is it obtainable by downloading a "fill-in-the-blanks" legal form from the Internet.
Rather, legitimate asset protection planning involves an individualized evaluation of a couple's situation, followed by the creation and implementation of an appropriate — customized — asset protection plan that is best-suited to the couple's specific situation.
"Sounds expensive," you might say. Perhaps. Until you consider the cost of litigating a case from filing, through pre-trial discovery, through settlement negotiations, and then through trial.
Oh, and don't forget all those attorney fees you'll need to pay your lawyer, regardless of whether you win or lose.
And even if you win in the trial court, the other side can still appeal.
Considering the high cost of litigation — both in dollars and in emotional well-being — a little asset protection planning probably isn't so expensive after all.

text: I am looking for ways to smooth out administrative tasks under Gnome. Is there a way to configure applications or menu launchers so that when an application requires administrative rights it will prompt, in a nice dialog box, for the administrator password? For example, on my system, Applications / System Tools / Login Screen Setup produces an error dialog "You must be the super user (root) to configure GDM." But I don't want to log on as root, and I don't want to require people to open a terminal window and fool around with su and sudo to make it happen. I want it as smooth as it is in OS X. Has anyone done this? Is there a nice, Gnome-like GUI tool for managing users, groups, printers, and network shares? I know about SWAT and WebMin, but what I seek is the Gnome family equivalent.

text: Hi Chris, Agree, there is no major reason this needs to be a new repository, as I mentioned in the 3 options below it would work well without it. The main thing I want to achieve is that the benchmarks are located on the top level. The suite will contain benchmarks for all parts of the JDK so having it in either jdk or hotspot doesn't feel like it makes sense. If people agree on having it as folder in the top level JDK repository I'm perfectly fine with that. As for building it will most likely not be of the general build process for building the JDK (do not want to increase the compilation time for anyone not requiring the benchmark suite). It would have its own target 'build-microbenchmark' which would depend on 'exploded-image', but not the reverse. //Staffan On 12/02/2014 01:23 PM, Chris Hegarty wrote: > Staffan, > > Having all the benchmarks located in a single place makes sense to me, but this doesn't necessarily mean that they need their own repository, in the forest. > > If I can build, run, and test ( usual development cycle ) without any dependency on these benchmarks, or their infrastructure, essential working with a partial forest ( without the 'benchmark' repository ), then I can see the possible value in having a separate repository ( so I can skip cloning and updating it ).

JPRT can push JDK and HS changes at together and the same functionality should be possible to use for this as well. I wonder if the test issue earlier was that it was a completely separate repository outside of the JDK forest, and less of an issue when being part of the same forest as the JDK source code. Perhaps someone from SQE can chime? >> >> Otherwise the main reason for having a separate sub-repository on the top level is making it easier to find what benchmarks are available and have a single place to add new once avoid any risk of name duplication. JMH is superb in filtering during execution during runtime so running just a single test or a group of tests is very straight forward and the recommended way, rather than having multiple benchmark JARs. It also makes the build process easier as the building can be done using a single Makefile and a single benchmark JAR (actually two, one for JDK 8 compatible tests and one for JDK 9) that can be picked up by automatic performance testing. >> >> Cheers, >> Staffan >> >> On 12/02/2014 06:48 AM, roger riggs wrote: >>> Hi Staffan, >>> >>> An earlier issue was keeping tests in sync with the code under test, hence >>> the use of test directories within each repository. >>> I think a structure in which the benchmarks for some function and the function >>> itself are in the same repository that is easier to understand and maintain. >>> >>> $.02, Roger >>> >>> >>> On 12/1/2014 7:08 PM, Staffan Friberg wrote: >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> Hopefully this is the right list for this discussion. >>>> >>>> As part of adding Microbenchmarks to the OpenJDK source tree, I'm trying to understand how we best would add the benchmark sources to the existing OpenJDK tree structure. >>>> >>>> Since the microbenchmark suite will cover all parts of the JDK, covering HotSpot, JDK libraries and Nashorn, it would be preferred to add the microbenchmark directory as a new top level directory.

Thame & the local area
Thame is an attractive market town, situated about 14 miles from Oxford, 10 miles from Aylesbury, and 20 miles from High Wycombe. It is easily accessible by road, being close to both the M40 and M25. Public transport is good, with regular bus services to Oxford and Aylesbury. The nearest train station is Haddenham and Thame Parkway (3 miles from Thame town centre), with frequent direct trains to London (50 minutes) and Birmingham (under 90 minutes).
With London just 50 minutes away by train, there is no shortage of local entertainment. However, Oxford, Aylesbury and High Wycombe also provide a wealth of opportunities from theatre and cinema, to shopping, sporting activities and the arts. The local countryside is also great to explore and enjoy.
Whilst property in the area can be relatively expensive, shared rented accommodation is available both within Thame and in the surrounding towns and villages. Should you accept a position at Richardsons, we will do all we can to help you find suitable accommodation.
