Hi--I'm just wondering what exactly a threshold is, and how to determine how many a particular categorical variable has. Thanks!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, March 02, 2005 - 6:32 pm
The number of thresholds is the number of categories minus one. Thresholds are z scores such that a threshold has to be exceeded for a person to be in a particular category.

Hi again! I've run into some identification problems on a multi-group CFA. I've got three indicators of one latent variable. Bollen suggests that one way of achieving identification is to constrain the mean of the latent variable to be equal to the intercept of one of the indicators; I don't want to do this, since I'm interested in comparing the means of the latent variable across groups.
So...can I constrain the thresholds of these indicators to be equal across groups to achieve identification? What kind of consequences are there to doing this?
I guess my basic question is: what do you recommend?
Thanks so much for all your help!

I am modeling an SEM model with several LF's, all with observed ordinal or binary indicators, and an ordinal outcome using WLSMV.
The standard errors for the estimated thresholds of the u* underlying these categorical variables are relatively large (ranging from about .15 to .25 in most cases), although most of the threshold estimates are significant.
Is the magnitude of SE's for these thresholds important to attend to?

No, they typically correspond to probabilities that your are not interested in testing against.

1. A CFA with categorical indicators was given at the site:
And there is this statement: "A threshold is the expected value of the latent variable or factor at which an individual transitions from a value of 0 to a value of 1.00 on the categorical outcome variable when the continuous underlying latent variable's score is zero."
Is this right? Should the expected value be for the continuous underlying latent variable of the categorical indicator, not the factor? Also by "continuous underlying latent variable's score is zero" do you mean the factor score is zero?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I would say:
A threshold is the expected value of the latent response variable at which an individual transitions from a value of 0 to a value of 1 on the categorical outcome variable.

Jay-Z and Kayne West's epic "Watch The Throne" duet album has spawned a car-based collaboration — between a Maybach 57 and a Sawzall. Watch the two turn it into a flame-shooting quasi-rat rod in this video for "Otis."
Much like chopping up Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness" might strike some as messing with perfection, creating what must be the world's first junkyard-rod Maybach would offend Maybach purists if there were any. On the other hand, even decked out with tin fenders, a grille trunk, four women and Aziz Ansari (?) the rat-Bach still looks more attractive than the Landaulet.
Whatever it is, the duo say it will be sold to benefit famine relief in East Africa, creating the rarest vehicle of all — a Maybach whose purchase can be justified.
Hat tip to smokeyburnout, Manashe and Eric!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Critics of hydraulic fracturing urged lawmakers Monday to impose a moratorium on the controversial drilling technique, saying there is too much uncertainty about its health and environmental effects.
More than two dozen opponents of "fracking" lined up to share their concerns at an Assembly Natural Resources Committee hearing, where lawmakers advanced three bills to prohibit the practice temporarily. The drilling technique involves blasting water, sand and chemicals into deep rock formations to release oil or natural gas.
One measure from Assemblywoman Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, would halt the practice until an advisory panel analyzes the potential consequences.
Mitchell said scientific studies have shown a range of environmental and health effects, both positive and negative. Those mixed conclusions have left her constituents, who live near the Inglewood oil field in Los Angeles County, concerned and confused about whether fracking can be done safely.
"It says to me that we have a cause to pause," Mitchell said.
Representatives for the drilling industry defended the energy extraction efforts, telling lawmakers there have not been any negative environmental effects from fracking during decades of activity in California. About 80 percent of fracking in California occurs in uninhabited areas near Bakersfield, they said.
"For a moratorium to be introduced on something that has been safe for 60 years is something that I truly don't understand," said Paul Deiro, a lobbyist with the Western States Petroleum Association.
Fracking has drawn scrutiny in other states and has just recently become an issue of high interest in California. Oil companies are looking to expand production from the Monterey Shale formation, which stretches from Kern County north through the San Joaquin Valley. It is estimated to be one of the country's largest shale oil formations.
Expanded drilling activity here and in other states has fostered passionate and sometimes heated debate. Opponents at Monday's hearing were scolded several times for applauding a lawmaker's statement in support and laughing at comments from industry officials.
At several points, Assemblywoman Shannon Grove, a Republican representing drilling-heavy Bakersfield, pressed environmental advocates and the author of one bill to show proof of environmental impacts elsewhere and worries about water use.
"You're putting forth legislation that could potentially halt thousands of jobs," Grove said.
Kassie Siegel, of the Center for Biological Diversity, expressed doubts that state regulators, who are in the process of creating California's first fracking rules, are providing enough oversight and that they will craft sufficient safeguards.
She contrasted California's oversight with the moratorium in place in the state of New York, which halted new gas drilling activity pending a health study.
"No public health review is underway," Siegel said. "State oil and gas regulators do not even track fracking, and they are ignoring regulations that should be enforced while instead discussing new rules for fracking that could be years away."
The bills debated Monday are among the more restrictive proposals moving through the Legislature. A measure from Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, would prohibit state regulators from issuing fracking permits beginning in January 2015 if an independent scientific study has not been completed.
The Assembly bills consideration Monday are carried by Los Angeles-area Democrats. All three passed on identical votes of 5-3, with Republicans in opposition. The measures now go to the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
AB1301 from Assemblyman Richard Bloom, of Santa Monica, would stop fracking until further legislation is enacted outlining how it can occur.
Two similar bills, AB1323 and AB649, call for creating an advisory committee to review health, environmental, economic and other effects. They also would recommend regulatory changes.
Those bills from Mitchell and Assemblyman Adrin Nazarian, of Sherman Oaks, would require state officials to decide by January 2019 if fracking should occur in California.
California was the third-largest oil producing state last year, behind Texas and North Dakota, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
All California oil wells are subject to the same regulations, with no specific rules for those using hydraulic fracturing. The California Department of Conservation released draft fracking regulations in December, and agency officials say they hope to adopt final rules next year.

Cicatricial Alopecia - Dirk M. Elston, MD & Elise Olsen, MD
Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia (hair loss) is the term used for a group of disorders that cause permanent hair loss. During the active, evolving stage of hair loss, patches of alopecia commonly appear red and inflamed at the base of the hair shaft. Sometimes crops of pustules are noted. Some types of cicatricial alopecia destroy the hairs deep within the scalp, without inflammation visible on the skin surface. While some types of cicatricial alopecia result in rapid hair loss, slow progression of hair loss is more common.
A skin biopsy is generally required to establish the diagnosis, and to guide treatment. The biopsy punch is an instrument that removes a plug of skin about the size and shape of a pencil eraser. The biopsy is performed after an injection of local anesthetic to numb the skin. After the skin biopsy is removed, the biopsy site is closed with stitches or filled with a plug of special material that stops the bleeding. Sometimes a single biopsy specimen can establish the diagnosis, but usually more than one specimen is required. Your doctor will try to limit the number of biopsy specimens, but it is generally best to have more than one performed early on in your evaluation, so that an accurate diagnosis can be established and appropriate treatment started.
Some types of hair loss are best diagnosed under the microscope based on slices of the specimen cut vertically from the skin surface down to the deep fat (vertical sections). Other types of hair loss are best diagnosed by horizontal sections cut sideways through the specimen (horizontal sections). Each of these types of examination requires a separate biopsy specimen. Biopsies are best done of active, inflamed sites on the scalp which still have remaining hair. A biopsy of an older scarred area may be helpful to predict the likelihood of regrowth of hair, and to help establish the diagnosis by evaluating the pattern of scar formation. If certain types of cicatricial alopecia are suspected, your doctor may send a biopsy specimen for additional special tests including direct immunofluorescence, and special stains for bacteria, fungi and elastic tissue. In some infectious disorders that can cause cicatricial alopecia, a biopsy must be sent for tissue culture.
At the 2001 NAHRS Workshop on Cicatricial Alopecia held at Duke University Medical Center, a useful classification system for cicatricial alopecia was developed, emphasizing the microscopic (histological) findings on a representative biopsy of an area of active loss. This classification divides cicatricial alopecia into hair loss caused by inflammatory cells called lymphocytes versus hair loss caused by inflammatory cells called neutrophils. The new classification will help identify patients who may be appropriate candidates for studies of new treatments since it is likely that medications will not work on both lymphocytic and neutrophilic predominant cases of cicatricial alopecia. Even with the new histological classification, some cases of hair loss remain unclassifiable.
Treatment for cicatricial alopecia remains poor. Once the hair is destroyed, the hair loss becomes permanent. It is primarily the hair at the periphery of the hair loss and/or the islands of remaining hair that are at risk of being destroyed that is the main focus of treatment. The main goals of treatment for cicatricial alopecia are to prevent further hair loss and to eradicate or at least lessen the redness, scale and itching associated with the process. There are no current FDA approved treatments for cicatricial alopecia although the NAHRS has been working to initiate interest in this area among industry sponsors. All treatment now for cicatricial alopecia is strictly based on the experience of the prescribing physician or anecdotal reports as there has never been any multicenter clinical trial in this area.
Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE)Chronic lupus erythematosus occurs more frequently in females than males and more commonly in adults than children. Most patients with CCLE only have evidence of lupus in their skin, and do not have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Blood tests may be necessary to rule out SLE. It is important to determine which patients with cicatricial alopecia secondary to lupus do have SLE, because they may need special treatment for internal organ involvement, especially kidney disease.
Treatments utilized for cicatricial alopecia caused by CCLE include corticosteroids (topical, intralesional or internal), antimalarial pills such as Plaquenil, vitamin A derivatives, Dapsone and even Thalidomide. Each drug has its own potential side effects for which you would need to be monitored. Surgery can also be helpful to remove areas of scar but surgical removal of bald areas should be approached cautiously, as it can sometimes result in a flare of the skin disease in surrounding skin.Lichen planopilaris
Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the scalp that causes cicatricial alopecia. It is the most common type of cicatricial alopecia seen in the Caucasian population and is more common in women. Some patients have overlapping features of CCLE and LPP.
LPP is treated with many of the same drugs as chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus although there have been recent trials using other immunosuppressive medications as well.
Central Centrifugal Cicatricial alopecia (CCCA)This disorder is slowly progressive, usually begins in the crown and advances to the surrounding areas. It may be confused with female pattern hair loss, especially in its early presentation. This condition is seen almost exclusively in African Americans, most commonly in African American women. It has also been referred to as "follicular degeneration syndrome" and "hot comb alopecia". It is unclear, but suspected, that this condition may be related to chemical processing, heat, occlusive ointments or greases or chronic tension on the hair.
The NAHRS, in conjunction with Procter and Gamble, is currently spearheading a national project to help discover the incidence and the causes of this often very extensive hair loss. Treatment suggestions usually include (1) stopping relaxing or chemical processing of any kind and any heat based straightening, (2) culturing for and treating any bacterial or viral infection that may be present and (3) keeping the scalp hair in a natural, twists or light braids. Some doctors prescribe antibiotics (for their anti-inflammatory effect as well as antibacterial properties), topical steroids and/or topical minoxidil. MAJOR TYPES OF CICATRICIAL ALOPECIA CAUSED BY NEUTROPHILS:Folliculitis DecalvansFollculitis decalvans presents as crops of pustules that affect the hair follicle and result in permanent hair loss. The surrounding scalp can be soft and boggy or firm. Bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus, are often noted with special stains of biopsies and/or cultures of pustules. Unlike ordinary Staph infections, short courses of antibiotic therapy will not cure the condition. Treatments that have been reported as potentially useful include prolonged use of oral antibiotics, particularly Rifampin and Clindamycin combination therapy, topical corticosteroids, fusidic acid, and zinc sulfate: there are side effects of each of these which the patient should discuss with his/her physician before use.Dissecting CellulitisDissecting cellulitis of the scalp looks like deep cystic acne involving the scalp. It occurs primarily in African American men. Antibiotics, retinoids and corticosteroids may be helpful. Effective treatment often requires combination therapy, with drainage and injection of individual cysts.SUMMARY:There are many other less common types of cicatricial alopecia. A careful physical examination, scalp biopsies and blood tests can be helpful in order to establish the correct diagnosis and to suggest the most appropriate treatment for the hair loss. Many patients do not respond to the first treatment they receive and often the condition relapses when treatment is stopped. The new NAHRS classification system for cicatricial alopecia was designed to help group patients who might respond to promising new treatments. The NAHRS multicenter study of CCCA in African American women may hopefully lead to an explanation and effective treatment for this condition. If you have cicatricial alopecia, your dermatologist can help guide you through the array of off-label and experimental treatments that are available.
(Version 2)
Purpose: This form was created during the North American Hair Research Society (NAHRS) – sponsored workshop on cicatricial alopecia (Feb 10 and 11, 2001). The intent was to create a standardized template for recording pathologic findings in patients with cicatricial alopecia. The original form (version 1) has already been published (J Amer Acad Dermatology 2003; 48: 103 – 110).
An electronic version of the form (version 2) was created as part of a NAHRS – sponsored study of the utility of the form in actual use by dermatopathologists experienced in the pathologic evaluation of alopecia. This version is now available to physicians who wish to utilize or test the form while recording findings from their own pathologic specimens.
(The electronic version is MS Excel format and contains macros. Security settings within Excel will need to be set to medium or lower to open the file.)

Deadline Friday-You Will Need A Word Press Account To Comment
Posted by Xena
Caterpillars, butterflies, moths and all creatures great and small;
As most if not all of you know, this blog is subjected to continual racial harassment, hate-speech, and threats of defamation unless I delete this blog or change it to report solely on black-on-black crime. Word Press provides options to moderate comments. However, the perpetrators circumvent those options by using proxy IP addresses.
When the comments first started in September 2012, I ignored them as mere harassment. Then I was threatened that the perpetrators would "ruin" my reputation unless I stopped blogging. Still, I paid the threats no attention and kept minding my own business. They then made up names for me that they purported being my real names – yes, plural. They couldn't decide what name, if any, was my real name. They ended up harming and harassing others who are not me.
Along with that, they took to posting comments on other blogs alleging that I'm "racist." They cannot support that allegation. Their latest justification for calling me "racist" is because of the name of this blog.
Well, I just happen to like the song "Black Butterfly" by Denise Williams, the main reason is because the lyrics include that "a dream conceived in truth never dies." All caterpillars go through the same process of transformation. Some are black, some are white, some are yellow, some are multicolored. It makes no difference.
In January 2013 after blacklisting their IP addresses, I sent complaints to their internet service providers. That stopped all besides one person who then switched internet service providers. Another complaint was sent to that internet service provider. I changed then to the option that only those with Word Press accounts could submit comments.
Miss Filth actually opened a Word Press account and blog and while continuing to submit racially offensive and threatening comments here, mocked that my efforts to stop her reduced the number of comments so either way, she thought she was winning in their effort to have this blog inactive. I sent a report to the proper authorities. The vile comments stopped and I went back to the option of allowing comments with signing-in with a handle and email address.
In or about May 2013, a comment was sent here warning that "Captain LJS" joined their group. The "Captain" boasts about using proxy IP addresses to conduct his filthy harassment while keeping his identity secret. From the comment sent here, in pertinent part:
We have also joined up with the "CaptainLJS"….and others (N*****s) and M. M******r … I am V.P. and proud to say so!!!!! THAT'S V****e!! Well I could the initials game all night. Lots more where that came from. Toodles.
Approve Trash | Mark as Spam
E-mail: email@example.com
"Captain LJS" is also known by other handles in addition to his real name. He's the same person who several months ago filed malicious copyright infringement complaints against Blackbutterfly7 in effort to have Word Press delete this blog. His efforts went as far as to complain of copyright infringement on his gravatar that is included in comments he submits. Word Press denied all but one of his complaints, which gave me opportunity to challenge the one remaining. I did so, and he then had 30 days to file a complaint in the federal court. He did not do so. Word Press restored the one remaining photo. His plan failed.
Evidently, not finding a proxy IP address website that would allow him to access this blog, that person started sending racially offensive comments directly through his Comcast IP address. After submitting a complaint to Comcast, he then continued harassing through the computer network of the California State University in Fresno. That meant yet another complaint. He then used a Cricket phone to access public Wi-Fi.
Last week, that person was served with a complaint for a restraining order by someone who is also subjected to relentless harassment and false accusations. After the offending party was served, someone associating with him, (and no doubt at his direction or encouragement), decided to take out their frustration by spamming this blog with racially offensive comments.
The articles don't matter. I can write about the sun rising, and the individual still sends racially offensive comments. What I share about my personal life, they use it in attempt to mock or place me on the defense. They do not deserve any explanation pertaining to my personal life and their mocking and lies do not define me.
Now finding it difficult to find a proxy IP address that allows them to access this blog, and/or has not been blacklisted, they send the same comment numerous times through different proxies hoping to hit one that will send their comments to be moderated. In other words, they want me to see their filth.
When the same comment is submitted numerous times through several different proxy IP addresses hosted by different companies, that is intentional harassment.
What I've done is moved the racially offensive and harassing comments from spam to the moderation queue to retain as evidence. More investigation is being conducted and the hosting companies for the proxy IP address websites are being notified to preserve the evidence.
In the state where I reside, harassing and obscene communications are included in the state's hate crime statute. Currently, over 200 such comments are in the moderation queue of this blog. Of the 200, about 45 were submitted in the last 5 days.
Word Press gives the option to only allow the submission of comments by those who have Word Press accounts. This will require signing-in through your Word Press account in order to comment.
It should prevent comments from being submitted through proxy IP addresses. It will also prevent the submission of comments that use fake email addresses, as the cyber-extortionists are known for doing. It's been a long time since I signed-up for a Word Press account, but if I remember correctly, the email address has to be valid and verified by Word Press.
This may or may not be a temporary arrangement. There are other things pending at which I am not at liberty to share.
The majority of Blackbutterfly7's subscribers are also Word Press bloggers who already have Word Press accounts. However, there are people who comment here who do not have gravatar or Word Press accounts, and their contribution in discussions is valuable.
I do not know if having a gravatar account is the same as having a Word Press account. I do know that those with a gravatar account can click "like" on blogs whereas those who do not have a gravatar account or Word Press account cannot. Maybe someone here can answer that.
So, I humbly, and respectfully ask that if you post comments here, to open a Word Press account so you can continue doing so. Word press recently opened a page eliminating some of the previous confusion because some people thought that they had to open a blog in order to have a Word Press account. You do not.

Get 'em Xena! I'm so glad you are protecting the blog and yourself from this harassment! I know that the irony of their ugly thoughts and words fail to prove 'they' are part of a 'superior' race. As if there were even such a thing.
Mindyme, you know that I love you!!
They are not smart. In their comments, they make lots of false accusations as if to prevent me from submitting their comments to law enforcement for fear I will need to defend myself. They don't understand that there is no defense for committing hate-crime. My state's law sets forth; "…regardless of the existence of any other motivating factor or factors …"
Going out of their way to racially harass others who they claim to hate is in and of itself, a hate-crime. It would be like me voluntarily knocking on the door of a KKK meeting to call them names, and after they don't let me in, putting racially hateful notes under the door and then crying foul when arrested for trespassing.
I am so so sorry that this is still happening to you! Luckily, I have a blog so I can still visit and comment on your great blog. You are a awesome writer and a very strong person! Don't you ever forget that! I would happily take these crazy people with no life to my blog so you can have a break. So to the ones who are still doing this: Grow up and get a hobby! You are nothing more then cowards and bullies and I pity you!
As for you, my dear friend, stay strong and keep doing what you're doing because you are awesome!
Lots of love and hugz ❤
Patty, thanks for your kind words and words of encouragement. I am humbled by your compliment coming from a successful published author and great poet. That means a lot to me.
Your wish of getting them to your blog might come true, as they have the tendency to send comments to bloggers who post here, threatening them with defamation unless they stop associating with me. Those comments accuse me of being everything evil on earth, Mars, Venus, and undiscovered galaxies of their own imagination. 🙂
Jackie Saulmon Ramirez | 07/16/2014 at 5:00 pm
I am very sorry you are having to deal with this harassment, Xena. 😦
Jackie, in the greater scheme of things, I must believe that it has a greater purpose. I'm not the only person who is subject to their harassment. They did one blogger so bad that she deleted her blog.
Jackie Saulmon Ramirez | 07/16/2014 at 6:43 pm
There should be a way to stop that. To me that is verbal and mental abuse, or better yet – violence. I really sorry you deal with this.
Jackie, I agree. It is verbal abuse and intended to mentally weigh me down. The law provides a private right of action for emotional distress and I'm currently looking into that.
I can't believe this is still happening, I'm so sorry. Those idiots need to get a life. I think I'm set, but I guess the real test will be on Friday.
It's too bad you have to go through all this to have your blog. You shouldn't be harassed for a blog. Hope WordPress decides to offer protection for their bloggers. It's not fun having a blog that is harassed all the time.
There are blogs that just blog about Gardens or Dogs or Golden Retrievers. . . Why can't you blog about the subject you are passionate about?
I don't post much but I'm sorry this happened to you. I've never read anything offensive here. The truth must offend them. Best Wishes and hope happy days are ahead.
Thanks for your kind words of support and encouragement.
The perpetrators first alleged that their harassment was justified because people were "lying" about George Zimmerman. After the verdict in the Zimmerman case, they unzipped and exposed themselves all the way. It was never about GZ. Rather, it's about their White Supremacist ideologies.
Yes, I know, and I'm not black. It's obvious to me what was going on. Why can't they let it go? He wasn't convicted. . .
Take care.
Carol, the problem is that the cyber-extortionists do not know my race. (Whispering) Guess what? My race is human. (Back to normal tone.)
Before I was attacked, I never publicly posted it, and no one asked. In their first volley of threatening comments, they accused me of being an old White woman who would run if I saw Trayvon coming towards me.
Knowing that they wanted to know my race, I never publicly posted it. If anyone in our Blackbutterfly7 family presumes it, I allow that because I believe that we are one. We came to know of each other by our written words; expressing our hearts and minds. And still, no one has publicly asked the color of my skin.
The only people that is important to are the cyber-hate-crime extortionists.
Wonderful. No one on regular blogs were people are civil ask about it, others just mention it. I did because I have not walked in another's shoes. But I wouldn't have run if I saw him. I probably wouldn't have because I'd be watching the road and scanning to make sure a child or pet wasn't going dart out in front of me. People assume what they shouldn't. I hope this harassment stops though. We need good people blogging and a diversity of people commenting.
Xena I have recently made my blog public but it's not ready for prime time. I will invite you when it is or maybe you will find me. 😉
dreamer | 07/17/2014 at 4:36 pm
You mean like this
That's a funny video. Just what I needed — a good laugh to end the night. Thanks so much for sharing it.
dreamer | 07/17/2014 at 5:16 pm
Wow, may I be the first to apologize, because I presumed we are one, green, pink stripes, and yellow dots, and ummmmmm, (whispering) you're just alittle bit older. LOL
LOL@dreamer. And, I'm looking forward to getting even older. 🙂
yahtzeebutterfly | 07/16/2014 at 6:43 pm
I added butterfly to my name 🙂
crazy1946 | 07/16/2014 at 7:15 pm
Xena, These people go above and beyond the racist agenda that is to be found in the blog's of admitted bigots. Perhaps in a land and time far away we as a society will not have to deal with people like them. It was said before, but I will say it also, at no point have I ever heard you or any of the regular posters say or imply anything that was not positive and uplifting… Perhaps at some time they will learn that while none of us has to always agree with others, we must always afford the same respect as we wish to receive…
Yahtzee(butterfly): Wow, while I like that, it will take me forever to get it thru my head, so please forgive me in advance if I (no, when I) forget the last part of your new name. 😉
yahtzeebutterfly | 07/16/2014 at 7:25 pm
crazy1946….when I was signing up for a WordPress account "Yahtzee" was already taken. Apparently, it was always fine when I used it just to comment, but it is unavailable as a WordPress account because of all of the Yahtzee game blogs.
That is the reason I had to add something extra (butterfly) in order to still have the "Yahtzee" reference in my name.
I hope you will continue to simply call me "Yahtzee" for old times sake 🙂
yahtzeebutterfly | 07/16/2014 at 7:31 pm
Or, maybe WordPress was protecting my "Yahtzee" name so that I can still post under that name elsewhere without using my WordPress account….who knows??
Yahtzee, I LOVE IT!!!
As long as you aren't posting on another Word Press blog by first signing into your account, you should be able to enter your "Yahtzee" handle.
Yahtzeebutterfly | 07/16/2014 at 8:40 pm
You know, I decided about a half an hour ago that I will just be "yahtzeebutterfly" wherever I post.
You have made an excellent decision to have us sign up for a WordPress account.
I so admire all that you do, Sister! You bring people of all walks of life together here on your blog in a beautiful spirit of community and an appreciation of our diversity.
You are a loving and caring individual!
dreamer | 07/17/2014 at 4:53 pm
How correct you are!!!!
There's no place like home.
Love you brother. I've often thought that one reason they try to provoke is because they have no evidence to support their accusations. If they don't know by now that there is nothing in me that wants to return evil for evil, then they are kicking sand, wasting time, trying to provoke me into fights with them. One likes to put links in comments to other blogs. I ignore them — have no interest in reading anything they like. 🙂
Besides the efforts you're doing,let us know how we can protect you Xena? Sad that people want to come after you. Invent bogus terms like BGI.This racist charge is so false. You don't come up with code words like beyonce voters,racists do. Your blog covers many things . Regardless of color. You even devote time for genuinely mentally ill people and are mistreated. As for your adversaries, we will do what we can to defeat them. Especially the appropriately named miss filth. Remember, I'm here for you.
M1, it appears that the biggest delay and drawback is because of separate jurisdictions. Those identified reside in Florida, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, California, Washington State, and Michigan. There might be another in Wisconsin.
I can't say much more, and know that you understand what I mean.
I still have a very hard time understanding how people can be like this and spew this awful stuff into someone's home.
Xena, I admire you for your tenacity, integrity, passion, knowledge and sense of justice.
I day hi to YathzeeButterfly, Jackie, Patty … and all others who have commented here. We have one thing in common ….. we feel for Xena! Bless you girfriend …. May these asses be brought than while you stay standing & proud!! Hugs ….
Yahtzeebutterfly | 07/16/2014 at 8:07 pm
Yes, Horty, we all do have one thing in common…our appreciation, admiration, and caring for Xena!
You got that right, dear YB! Hugs!!
Yahtzeebutterfly | 07/16/2014 at 8:24 pm
Hugs back at you, Horty 🙂
Horty, I love you. Our common interests, appreciation of life, equality for all, and having love and peace in the world, and being butterflies having gained strength through struggle, brought us together. It binds us. It is living hope of spiritual truths that will never fade away, nor die.
I so appreciate your words of encouragement, and also apologize to you for the attacks and threats that came your way because of me.
My dearest Butterfly …. never apologize for what you haven't done. No need to apologize to me.
I'm thankful … Why? They brought me to connect to you in a way that wouldn't have been possible if they hadn't existed!! I love you too!! ❤
@DrRex you're so right! Where ARE my manners!?
Because like you i also appreciate the hard work those harassers' put in. Countless hours, years in fact, of failed attempts to divide and destroy. It must be quite embarrassing for them 😦
And though their intention was the opposite it's the result that really counts 🙂 And the result was a greater friendship for you and Xena!
So let's ALL Give those losers a GREAT BIG THANK YOU! xoxox
Your comment made me smile. I remembered that you too received comments alleging that I'm a racist who actually despises you. Well, now we know. If I despise you, then you had better watch out if I ever start to actually love you. LOL! Love you, little sister.
Horty and Shannon, you both point out the reality of how those people DID bring so many of us even closer in friendship with Xena with so many of us having the spirit that we individually pass on the sentiment from this song "That's What Friends Are For"
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for.
Dearest friends ….. That song, the lyrics are just perfect. Yes, that's what friends are for …. good times & bass times ….. Always count on me!!
kindheart101 | 07/16/2014 at 8:30 pm
I have known you, and been reading your blog since it was started. I have always known you to be a truthful, intelligent, and caring person. I have read your posts on other blogs, and though I don't post much, I seldom miss a new post on Blackbutterfly.
Much like Zimmerman keeps relentlessly falling on his face, some people just have to try to keep pushing the envelope while knowing full well they are in the wrong.
Stand tall, and stay strong, as we will always support you.
Kindheart101, each time I see your gravatar, my heart cries in joy. Thanks for your kind words, support and encouragement. We know that in due time, things will be dealt with appropriately, and it will also save many others from being victimized.
I'm guessing I did it correctly? Am I showing up as a WordPress.com accout?
Tony, looks like you signed in with your word press account. Thanks for testing it out.
Wow, that is scary, obsessive behavior. I hope you are successful in getting them stopped!
Brenda, it was difficult for me to believe that there are such hateful in the world who take pleasure in abusing others. If they do that to adult humans who they do not know, what do they do to children and animals?
True, pure poison I would guess, but I don't know. Perhaps they are sweet, blue-haired ladies with split personalities. Or inoffensive, mild-mannered people in sad, dead-end jobs, just getting out their frustrations. I'm afraid the storyteller in me has to wonder and speculate. I'm guessing that happy and well-adjusted would not apply to them at least. That much is safe to say. The best revenge is to be happy and well-adjusted, and feel compassion for their misguided lack of appropriate medication. In any case, I hope they lay off you. Peace and Joy, Brenda
The majority of them have been identified. The ring leader is in his mid 40's and holds to White Supremacist ideologies. He is joined at the hip by a man in his late 30's who is disabled and an admitted sovereign citizen.
They have 3 women doing their dirty work. One just completed college, is of Viet Nam descent, and is friends with the White Supremacist's daughter. They met in college. I suppose that denigrating Blacks is her way of making herself feel acceptable by White Supremacists.
Another purports being a woman online, but is actually a man. Age unknown. The other is a fairly young woman who had a relative murdered in Florida, and resents that Sybrina and Tracy were able to do what her relatives could not in getting an investigation. Her actions are motivated by an idea that Blacks have too much power and are unwilling to share it to help her family.
Then another is a woman in Texas who holds to White Supremacist ideologies.
This group is assisted by several others who stay away from submitting racist comments, but work to dox, intimidate and spread rumors. There is one whose assignment is to instigate by innocently asking pointed questions on blogs to introduce his comrades and what they have written on other blogs about others.
You are correct about the best revenge.
Wow, I'm so sad that these people have targeted you. I hope that the light finds its way to them one day.
Xena if you want me to block them on your blog and others I will gladly do so. I don't want them either. I dn;t have an active blog yet but to have one.
Joseph Norton | 07/17/2014 at 12:44 am
Xena well done ,keep the heat on ,tubby fans ,crashing and burning, obssesives maniacs with their deranged life,more probably than no,tubby is going down .
Oh yes, Joseph, Zimmerman is going down, whether by charges for violating Trayvon's civil rights, or by digging his own ditch deeper.
But you know, the cyber-extortionists only began using him as their excuse months after his arrest. It's always been about race with them. When DP submitted comments with racial slurs to this blog on the "Happy Thanksgiving" thread, then you know it has absolutely nothing to do with GZ.
Linda Andersen | 07/17/2014 at 1:35 am
Xena, I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I used to post (rarely) on Frederick Leatherman's Law Blog, but finally stopped when I got attacked by some of his most avid (rabid) followers. I've noticed that they tend to attack anyone who varies the least bit from their own views and will often run off anyone who disagrees with them. Sometimes the people you think you can feel comfortable around politically turn out to be the most vicious in their attacks. I do hope that you able to get everything worked out. Take care.
Linda, I remember you from Leatherman's. How the heck are you? When things got heated there and I saw it happening, I tried calming the storm. Some of the heat, I didn't see. During Zimmerman's trial, I was asked to help out on another blog so I didn't spend much time reading nor commenting on Leatherman's. I'm sorry that you were attacked.
Linda Andersen | 07/17/2014 at 3:45 am
Thanks! I did notice that you were not among the ones following the crowd and I greatly appreciated that. You definitely seem to stand by your own convictions and do not tend to get sucked into other people's drama. That is truly admirable in this day and age. I wish you well in your fight.
pilcherje | 07/17/2014 at 1:38 am
Xena, I too am sorry to read of what has been taking place here. I haven't commented in quite some time, but I do read your blog and reader comments each chance I have. Here's to truth and justice – integrity is powerful, thank you for that gift. Experience is the best teacher and there is no other way than with truth. And… I can only imagine how difficult and lonely the lives those individuals lead. Maybe that's why they need to purge their bile so often. Man, that's got to burn. ❤
pilcherje, thanks so much for your kind words, and the laugh about purging bile. LOL!
To truth and justice!
To everyone I have not replied to directly, and those that I have replied to directly;
Ugh, that is so sad and I find this hard to believe! I have been following the posts on your blog and never have I seen anything that I would consider objectionable or offensive in any way. I love the Denise Williams song too, and your blog name is inspiring, not racist! Please don't let a few morons keep you from posting.
Thanks for your kind words.
I love the Denise Williams song too, and your blog name is inspiring, not racist!
Thank you. That's the way I see it. It's the message that I find to be truly inspiring and it applies to all people.
Please don't let a few morons keep you from posting.
Oh, I'm not about to stop posting. Things have slowed down for several reasons; it's summer with yard work; I've been under medical care; business requires more of my attention during business hours — but I shall continue blogging.
Thanks for your words of encouragement.
Good to hear! In that case I can keep reading 🙂
Reblogged this on idealisticrebel and commented:
Excellent blog!
Hi Barbara!! Thanks for the reblog. Your support means a lot to me.
Hugs… 🙂
JOE!!! Hugs back at ya.
accidently landed on the last page i was on & noticed the dummies were trying to make more stupid comments that you had to shut down again! they really do get desperate when Trayvon gets attention!
I also landed on a certain blog usually referred to the toilet room today when I looked up Ryan Julison. and OMG if someone were to tell me what they were saying I wld've assumed they were joking! they see things in words, in pictures, in subliminal images etc, that are not actually there! like elvis sightings!! it's bizarre!
accidently landed on the last page i was on & noticed the dummies were trying to make more stupid comments that you had to shut down again!
See how they lie? I'm not shutting down and I've never shut down. Those who violate law by sending racial harassing comments may have thought the blog was shut down when they could no longer access it using proxy IP addresses, but that's because they were trying to violate law while keeping their identity hidden.
see things in words, in pictures, in subliminal images etc, that are not actually there! like elvis sightings!! it's bizarre!
That's classic perception of abusers. They interpret, translate, and perceive all things for the purpose of abusing their target victims.
Reblogged this on love2ascend.com.
"love2ascend" I like that title. Welcome to Blackbutterfly7 and thanks for the support.
AnnieCabani | 07/18/2014 at 4:23 pm
I am so disgusted by what you're going through! It's truly unfathomable to me that there are such ugly dregs of our society who have nothing better to do with their lives than what you describe and have been describing for quite some time.
I deeply admire the fight in you and your perseverance in pursuing those slugs in order to hold them accountable.
BTW, this is your reader formerly known as "groans." It's nice to dump that name (which I hurriedly adopted from a randomly-generated email address) at long last! So your WordPress account requirement turned out to be a good thing for me!
Hang in there, and keep up the Good Fight!
Groans!!!! Your comment goes to show that good does come out of evil.
Thanks for your kind words. I've learned good from their evil. You probably know that it's been said that people need to experience things in order to understand them and what others experience. I had not been exposed to adult bullying until Sept. 2012 when opening this blog. One thing I notice is how they either assume, or outright lie, in hope of provoking victims to give them more personal information.
Now, I can help others to understand the purpose for that, not be provoked to return evil for evil, and not take baits. Mainly, I hope to one day be able to share this with children so they feel no guilt in being targeted for bullying. The experience of knowing how harassers use proxy IP addresses will hopefully be beneficial to those who write regulations and legislation. These things take time, but a dream conceived in truth never dies.
I have been reading your for quiet some time now through the reblogs of others and enjoying your perspective. I finally followed you, mostly to ensure I see anything not reblogged though I suspect between Dr. Rex, ObamaCrat and IdealisticRebel I see everything.
I am stunned by the level of ugly you are being put through, though I don't know why. Some people are simply beneath contempt and without a moral compass. I do hope the actions you are taking bring them out of the dark and brings a hammer down on them.
Thanks so much for your comment and kind words. Thanks also for subscribing.
Since I engaged the option that only those with Word Press accounts can submit comments, the main cyber-terrorist has taken to defaming this blog on Youtube. He is an admitted sovereign citizen and does not believe that laws apply to him. He keeps on giving evidence that his actions are intentional racial harassment. It is now up to law enforcement.
Reblogged this on Citizens, not serfs and commented:
On-line harassment = attempted censorship of free speech. They waste your time, spreading their filfth everywhere, perverted control freaks whether individual loonies – or sponsored out of tax payers cash.
The threats and methods used by those cyber-extortionists who have attacked this blog, not only includes attempt to deprive of us free speech, but it is racial harassment to deprive us of our right to freely associate with others regardless of race. We currently have a truck load of comments that were sent to other bloggers warning them of defamation and threatening harm, if they continue to associate with "black racists" and "White guilt idiots."
I've come to the conclusion that they all have serious dysfunctions. It's not only because of their harassment, but also because the same things they tried in 2012 to humiliate me to remove this blog and my internet presence, are the same things that they do today in 2015.
Shows, whoever they are, "Divide and rule" is very important to them. As a Brit, race is a less contentious issue here, in many places here you are working class whatever your colour. Don't feel "white guilt". As working class the same bastards were exploiting all of us. But what blacks were/are subjected to is way OTT. And bullies don't have my respect. Your blog is needed. The internet has given everyone a voice – for the first time? But cyber harassment is a big issue for women. It's a great opportunity to compare notes and learn from each other. Keep shining light in the dark corners and flush the crooks out.
Prayerwarrior, thanks for your kind words. I was attacked and threatened for a year before I blogged about it. Then, I felt it was time for others to know the methods and tactics. Knowing how they operate destroys their ammunition making their weapon (the internet) impotent.
There is something about the experience of being abused/bullied/harassed that puts the victim on the back foot. It is a very confusing experience and difficult to explain in terms other people can understand. When people can give clear accounts they are very valuable because most people aren't able to. And the
point is to expose their tactics/methods. I am glad you put up your account. the more people who do, the better.
Prayerwarrior, by the time I realized that ignoring the cyberabusers did not stop them but only agitated them to progress in their ugliness, a year had passed. If I recounted it all, it would end up being a book. I can't imagine what parents of children who are cyberbullied must feel and go through.

The 1920s and '30s were full of cowgirl singers like the Girls of the Golden West (Millie and Dolly Good), Patsy Montana and Texas Ruby, most of whom were just as inauthentic as their better known male counterparts like Gene Autry and the Sons of the Pioneers. However, one western performer was the real deal: Billie Maxwell.
One of the two known photos of Billie Maxwell (left), Springerville, Arizona in the 1920s (right).
Billie Maxwell was born in 1906 and raised near Springerville, Arizona, same place where Ike Clanton, one of the Missourian players in the Gunfight at the OK Corral, was shot dead by a detective not 20 years earlier. Her father, E. Curtis Maxwell, was locally renowned as a fiddler who'd amassed a massive repertoire of songs learnt from his father, William Beatty Maxwell, an Illinoisan who'd moved first to Nevada and then Arizona in the 1800s. Curtis Maxwell formed a string band called the White Mountain Orchestra who toured (on horseback) the ranches in the area, playing dances. Not only did Maxwell know many traditional songs, but he composed his own work too, including "Escudilla Waltz" and "Frolic of the Mice." In her teenage years, Billie joined her father's band, where she played guitar alongside her brother, Marion, who played mandolin. Eventually she occasionally struck out on her own, performing solo shows in the backcountry.
In 1929, at the age of 23, she married a local schoolteacher, Alvin Chester Warner, and settled down to raise a family. A few months later, in June, her uncle Frank Maxwell (a lawman over in Silver City) noticed a classified in the local paper advertising an upcoming field recording session for Victor over in El Paso. At an audition, the White Mountain Orchestra were deemed worthy and two weeks later Chester Warner drove his wife, Marion, Curtis and Frank to a recording session where they met Ralph Peer.

VAD continues to be one of the most serious health problems in the developing world. The last two decades have seen tremendous improvements in the treatment of VAD, and it has been virtually eliminated among specific sectors of the population in many countries. The number of countries achieving vitamin A supplementation (VAS) targets nearly doubled between 2003 and 2005. These improvements are due to a combination of four strategies, well-tested and proven to be successful: vitamin A supplementation with capsules, the fortification of food with vitamins and minerals, oral supplements or food additives, and dietary diversification.
However, VAD has also been used as a reason to develop so-called 'Golden' rice - a variety of rice that has been genetically-engineered (GE) to biosynthesise beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the inner edible parts (endosperm) of rice.
The data presented in this report prove that generous funding channelled into thedevelopment of 'Golden' rice would be far better applied toward existingmethods to fight VAD, those which favour sustainable food systems, provide food security and increase agricultural diversity in a way that is empowering women, providing income to rural farmers, and improving the nutritional status of women and children around the globe.

When oil prices began their big surge about a decade ago, doomsayers immediately began bloviating about how rising gas prices were going to put the smackdown on the economy.
But as gas prices blew through milestone after milestone--$2, $2.50, $3, $3.50--this fear proved completely unfounded. The economy kept cranking right along.
Right up until the moment gas hit $4 a gallon.
Then everyone freaked out.
When gas blew through $4, the car companies all suddenly started talking about how it was a new era and they were going to completely redesign their fleets, etc.
And, seeking to defer blame for doing nothing to build up alternative sources of energy for the 30 years since the last oil price spike, Congress immediately blamed "speculators" for the price spike--ignoring the fact that global oil demand had gone through the roof with the growth of China, India, et al.
Then the global economy crashed and oil prices tanked and everyone forgot all about them.
But now oil prices have surged through $100 a barrel again.
And now gas prices are, once again, nearing the magic $4 a gallon freak-out point.
So it is indeed going to be interesting to see what happens this spring, if the global economy keeps recovering. But it's not hard to imagine that gas prices could blow right through $4 and head all the way to $5 or $6.
And that really might begin to act as a brake on the economy.

Portland State students have once again risen to the challenge to begin changing our world. Twelve student teams have been selected for funding though the Solutions Generator program at PSU, which provides support for students to carry out projects that make the campus and community more sustainable.
Each student team was awarded up to $1,500 for project expenses. Students also have the option of earning an additional stipend for participating in a sustainably leadership workshop series throughout the winter and spring terms.
The selected 2013 projects include:
- An educational display in the PSU dining area, workshops, and farm field trips to raise awareness about farmworkers and sustainable food sourcing.
- An applied research project to improve air quality in Portland Public School classrooms with indoor plants.
- A series of focus groups to examine how to better integrate sustainability into the undergraduate student experience at PSU.
- A documentary film and dialog series about sustainable urban redevelopment.
- An awareness campaign for PSU's recycling and waste minimization services.
- A research project to study how well a bioswale controls agricultural runoff at a local farm.
- A project to connect students with volunteer and career opportunities in international public service.
- Educational events for students to engage with northeast Portland's Cully Tribal Gathering Garden.
- A research project to monitor stormwater runoff from a newly installed eco-roof on campus.
- Interactive workshops for Portland high school students that focus on global poverty issues and encourage civic engagement.
- A collaborative community-based research project to address health issues and food scarcity in disadvantaged Portland metro neighborhoods.
- Installing Diversity Action Stations around campus to increase awareness of diversity issues and collect feedback to inform PSU policy.
The Solutions Generator program is offered through the Institute for Sustainable Solutions at Portland State University and is now in its fourth year.

Cgit is an attempt to create a fast web interface for the git scm, using a builtin cache to decrease server io-pressure.
Installing cgit is rather simple as it's available in the Community repository:
# pacman -S cgit
In order to actually use cgit you will of course also need to have some webserver installed on your system, like for example Apache.
Configuration of Web Server
You may add the following either to the end of your
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file or place it in a separate file inside the
/etc/httpd/conf/extra/ directory.
# # cgit configuration for apache # ScriptAlias /cgit/ "/usr/lib/cgit/cgit.cgi/" Alias /cgit-css "/usr/share/webapps/cgit/" <Directory "/usr/share/webapps/cgit/"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <Directory "/usr/lib/cgit/"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
The following configuration will let you access cgit through http://your.server.com/cgit with http://your.server.com/git redirecting to it. It's not perfect (for example you'll see "cgit.cgi" in all repos' url) but works.
Create the file /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/cgit.conf:
server.modules += ("mod_redirect", "mod_alias", "mod_cgi", "mod_fastcgi", "mod_rewrite" )
var.webapps = "/usr/share/webapps/" $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgit" { server.document-root = webapps server.indexfiles = ("cgit.cgi") cgi.assign = ("cgit.cgi" => "") mimetype.assign = ( ".css" => "text/css" ) } url.redirect = ( "^/git/(.*)$" => "/cgit/cgit.cgi/$1", )
Just include this file in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:
include "conf.d/cgit.conf"
and restart lighttpd.
Lighttpd sub-domain
This alternative lighttpd configuration will serve Cgit on a sub-domain like git.example.com with optional SSL support, and rewrites creating nice permalinks:
# GIT repository browser #$SERVER["socket"] == "127.0.0.1:443" { $SERVER["socket"] == "127.0.0.1:80" { #ssl.engine = "enable" #ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/git.example.com.pem" server.name = "git.example.com" server.document-root = "/usr/share/webapps/cgit" index-file.names = ( "cgit.cgi" ) cgi.assign = ( "cgit.cgi" => "/usr/share/webapps/cgit/cgit.cgi" ) url.rewrite-once = ( "^/([^?/]+/[^?]*)?(?:\?(.*))?$" => "/cgit.cgi?url=$1&$2", ) }
The following configuration uses fcgiwrap and will serve Cgit on a subdomain like git.example.com.
Install and setup fcgiwrap:
# pacman -S fgciwrap # systemctl daemon-reload # systemctl enable fcgiwrap.socket # systemctl start fcgiwrap.socket
Configure Nginx:
worker_processes 1; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; sendfile on; keepalive_timeout 65; gzip on; # Cgit server { listen 80; server_name git.example.com; root /usr/share/webapps/cgit; try_files $uri @cgit; location @cgit { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/cgit.cgi; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $uri; fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/fcgiwrap.sock; } } }
Configuration of Cgit
Basic Configuration
Before you can start adding repositories you will first have to create the basic cgit configuration file at
# # cgit config # css=/cgit.css logo=/cgit.png # Following lines work with the above Apache config #css=/cgit-css/cgit.css #logo=/cgit-css/cgit.png # if you don't want that webcrawler (like google) index your site robots=noindex, nofollow
Adding repositories
Now you can add your repos:
# # List of repositories. # This list could be kept in a different file (e.g. '/etc/cgitrepos') # and included like this: # include=/etc/cgitrepos # repo.url=MyRepo repo.path=/srv/git/MyRepo.git repo.desc=This is my git repository repo.url=MyOtherRepo repo.path=/srv/git/MyOtherRepo.git repo.desc=That's my other git repository
If you prefer not having to manually specify each repository it's also possible to configure cgit to search for them:
If you are coming from gitweb and want to keep the descriptions and owner information, then use:
For detailed documentation about the available settings in this configuration file, please see the manage (`man cgitrc`).
Syntax highlighting
Cgit supports syntax highlighting when viewing blobs. To enable syntax highlighting, you have to install the highlight package.
# pacman -S highlight
/usr/lib/cgit/filters/syntax-highlighting.sh. Comment out version 2 and comment in version 3.
You may want to add
--inline-css to the options of highlight for a more colorfull output without editing cgit's css file.
# This is for version 2 #exec highlight --force -f -I -X -S "$EXTENSION" 2>/dev/null # This is for version 3 exec highlight --force --inline-css -f -I -O xhtml -S "$EXTENSION" 2>/dev/null
Enable the filter in
If you want to integrate with gitosis you will have to run two commands to give apache permission to look though the folder.
# chgrp http /srv/gitosis # chmod a+rx /srv/gitosis
If you added repositories managed by gitolite you have to change the permissions, so the web server can access the files.
- Change permission for future repositories:
- Edit
~/.gitolite.rcof your gitolite user. Change the UMASK to 0022
- See also: http://gitolite.com/gitolite/external.html#umask
- Edit
- Change permission for existing repositories:
- Run the following two commands (as root or gitolite-user):
# find /path/to/the/repository/ -type d -exec chmod og+rx {} \;
# find /path/to/the/repository/ -type f -exec chmod og+r {} \;
- Run the following two commands (as root or gitolite-user):

There's just 2 weeks to go to the Trust Conference on 11th September!
If you haven't yet got your tickets yet…
…why not?
Is your company or organisation already using the Trust paradigm to enviable financial success?
Or, are you unsure what an increase in Trust can actually deliver?
Either way, I urge you to rethink…
When I talk about The Trust Conference and what it can deliver, I'm not talking woolly, abstract ideas.
You should know me better by now!
I'm talking about measurable, hard-edged results in all areas of your organisation.
Don't just take my word for it either…
Here's what Karen Gregson, the Learning & Development Manager at BAE Systems, said about last year's Trust Conference:
"I attended the Trust Conference last year and have recommended this to business colleagues. The highlight for me was Stephen MR Covey whose insights to this subject are second to none. Trust is a fundamental part of organisational effectiveness and it is great to see that we finally have a conference dedicated to this. I would encourage all organisations to attend and learn more about this imperative"
With just 2 weeks to go, tickets are almost all sold out. Already, this year is shaping up to be bigger and better than last year – and that's saying something!
There are a lot of major companies out there who have already booked their tickets, either to attend in person or via an online stream.
So why not be one of them?
See you in just 2 weeks!
PS. Remember if you or your team can't make it in person, you can still listen in via an online stream.
Check out the various ticket options here >

How to make your own quark-curdSunday, October 29th, 2006
Quark is a kind of soft cream cheese often used in Polish recipes and you'vre probably noticed that I use it a lot, especially in cheesecakes as I'm used to eastern european cheesecakes with quark instead of cream cheese. The problem is that in Sweden we only have Kesella. Kesella works rather well in some recipes but for most dishes it's just too watery and runny. Some dishes calls for compact quark, and that you solve by making it yourself. This is just the base recipe, when you're done you can use this homemade quark in cheesecakes (maybe a Tiramisù cheesecake or raspberry cheesecake brownies, pierogi (a sort of Polish tortellini), pancakes (either Polish ones or pancakes that melt in your mouth) or other dishes. Or you can just add some of your favourite spices and put it on a piece of bread together with some tomato slices and you have yourself a delicious sandwich. In day or two I will post another great dish which calls for this homemade quark.
(makes about 400 gr)
2 litres of filmjölk 3% (Kefir should work as well)
Pour the filmjölk into an ovenproof container.
Heat the oven to 100 degrees C. Put the container into the oven for about 1 hour.
It's done when the quark-curd has thickened slightly and begun to separate from the whey. Be aware that you need to carefully stir with a spoon to see if the whey has separated or not.
Cover a large sieve with a clean kitchen towel (sterilized with boiling water!) and pour everything in the container onto the towel. Let drain for at least 1 hour, preferably longer.
Then take the whole kitchen towel and try to drain the last by hand, squeezing firmly. Keep the quark-curd in the fridge until you need it.
Quark-curd, ready to eat.

It doesn't take much to ignite the Taylor Swift fanbase. So when the multiplatinum-selling, GRAMMY-winning star posted today on her Facebook page that "a lot of things" will be "happening very soon," it was like a spark hitting dry trees in a drought.
"I'm writing you from Nashville, where I just sat in a big room with a lot of people and made a lot of decisions about a lot of things happening very soon. And as vague as that sentence was, I think you know what it means," she wrote. "Stuff is about to happen. I love you more than ever."
Which, of course, led to fan posts like this one.
DYING OMG TAYLOR WHAT AHHHHHHHHH twitter.com/Dc_Luvs_Swift/…
— iknitsweatersyo. (@Dc_Luvs_Swift) July 9, 2012
Speculation has been flying for a while now about the songs, the mood, and even the potential guests who'll grace Swift's followup to her 2010 powerhouse Speak Now. She's hinted at the material in interviews, including one with Vogue earlier this year, where a conversation about relationships shifted to how that might be reflected in her new material.
"There's just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak," she explained, "and that will turn out to be what the next album is about. The only way that I can feel better about myself—pull myself out of that awful pain of losing someone—is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity."
In an interview with the New Yorker from last fall, she was, even back then, already talking about her new material. "Asked to characterize [the new songs], she said, 'They're sad? If I'm being honest.' The most recent one, she said, 'is about moving on.'"
Are you curious to know what sort of "stuff" went on in that "big room" in Nashville? Likely as not, the details could begin emerging sooner than you think.

First of all I would like to say sorry for not having blogged much in the recent days after Easter but after all that Easter cooking and baking I was in much need of a break. I also celebrated my Wedding Anniversary on Monday and I was wined and dined all weekend, so no baking or cooking to blog. So after a small break I decided to make up a batch of these Sunshine Bars that are packed with so much goodness they will be great for pack lunches or snacking. The recipe can be found here: Sunshine Bars.
