Parents: 'When I was your age' usually doesn't work
"When I was your age ..."
Most kids roll their eyes when they hear those five words from their parents. They know that whatever comes next is probably not going to be to their liking. And it may not be very good parenting, either.
Of course, sometimes we parents just use this phrase to introduce some reminiscence about how our lives were different from those of our children (of course, different usually means harder).
When we do this, we're doing little harm other than probably boring them. Actually, most kids are fairly tolerant of their parents' trips down memory lane -- our meandering keeps us amused and distracts us from asking too many questions about what's going on in their lives.
On the other hand, when we explain or justify our decisions as parents with "when I was your age," we run a different risk. Basing the parenting we do solely on the parenting we received can be a simple approach to our job, but it is a simplistic one as well. We can easily wind up repeating our parents' failures while finding that their successes are no longer replicable in the world in which we have to raise our children.
Let's take a simple example, like walking to school. I did. You probably did, too. My parents could have given me a ride each morning, but they decided the responsibility and exercise involved in getting there myself was good for me. In retrospect, I think that was good parenting.
My kids didn't walk to school. Occasionally they rode the bus; usually they got a ride from one parent or the other. And once they got old enough, we managed to scrape together enough for them to have a car of some sort to drive on their own.
Now, I confess, when it came to making the decision to deal with our children's transportation needs this way I was tempted to say "when I was your age ..." and insist that my kids walk whenever possible. (Actually, I suspect I did say "when I was your age," trying to impress upon them just how fortunate they were to have a ride; I also suspect they ignored me.)
The fact is, though, that things were different. Our community was more spread out, there were fewer sidewalks, there were much busier streets and highways to cross, there were more school activities that started early or ended late, and I would have known few of the people my kids would encountered if they walked to school.
My children's environment, then, was radically different from the small town I grew up in. My parenting strategy around transportation needed to be different, too. I just couldn't take the easy way out and decide that since "when I was your age I walked to school you should, too." That wouldn't have been responsible parenting.
If only all our parenting decisions were that simple. The fact is we have to make decisions about all kinds of complex and confusing things.
What should be our approach to video violence, the Internet, sexually explicit media? How do we deal with the plethora of drugs available -- legal and illegal -- that people use to change who they are? What about our consumption-driven culture and the values it promotes concerning money, power, and prestige?
What do we teach our kids about the nature of family as they encounter the many varieties in our society? In a world which is increasingly 24/7/365, what do we say about time for rest, relaxation, reflection, togetherness?
Or (to bring us back to reality), are we really going to let our adolescent daughter walk out of the house looking like that?
Different world. So our parenting needs to be different, too.
Before you think I'm suggesting that we just throw out everything we learned in being parented by our own parents, I want to offer an alternative.
First, I think it is important that we consider the values behind our parents' parenting and choose which ones we want to emulate in our own parenting decisions.
For example, my mom placed great stock in helping other people. She did it herself and expected that we kids would, too.
Many of her decisions as a parent reflected her intent to teach us this value. That's a value I'd like to teach my own children. And it's a value, then, that can guide my own parenting decisions.
Second, some of our parents' parenting techniques can still work. If you look at how her five children live their adult lives, my mom came up with some pretty effective strategies when it came to teaching this value.
Some of these I can -- and have -- used successfully with my own kids, even in a world which is very different from the one I grew up in. I just have to think it through a bit and make sure I'm not simply falling back on "when I was your age."

Many visitors to Centennial Parklands, and many people who have passed by, may have found themselves looking across at a structure on the corner of Anzac Parade and Lang Road and wondering: "What's that?"
When Centennial Park was originally conceived in the 1880s, a grand western entrance from Anzac Parade (then known as Randwick Road) was envisioned as the main entrance to the Park, but a lack of funds halted the construction.
This western entrance, originally called 'Old Grand Drive', was designed to link Moore Park and Centennial Park, and start around the (at the time) Moore Park Zoological Gardens running parallel to Lang Road.
Finally delivered!
Almost 100 years after first planned, and in the lead up to the Australian Centenary of Federation celebrations, funds were made available through the Commonwealth Government's Federation Fund ($7.9 million to be exact) to redesign Old Grand Drive, rename it Federation Way and include a 'Gateway' feature.
The project was designed by Australian architect and urban designer, Alexander Tzannes (also known for the Federation Pavilion in Centennial Park), who won the design competition for this project.
Here's part of the winning proposal:
The design for the entire Federation Way project was based on the original plans for Grand Drive from 1886 which included long vistas from Anzac Parade to the Park between the trees with their arched canopy.
The scope of works eventually undertaken in 2000 included resurfacing of the two lanes of Federation Way, lighting, landscaping and incorporation of the boulevard of figs, oaks and pines into the interpretation of 'Old Grand Drive', a safer crossing and paving zone established at Robertson Road Gates, and a chicane for horses in Centennial Park.
The reinstated Drive became the domain of pedestrians and cyclists, being closed off to regular vehicle use.
Federation Gateway
A contemporary gate, inspired by the geometry of the tree canopies, was one of the major new features. The grand gate uses timber, copper, bronze and cast iron to create a dramatic entry to the Parklands.
It stands eight metres tall and was the setting for the grand opening of the new Federation Way project in a ceremony on 9 December 2001.
And today?
Today Federation Way is a major pedestrian and cycling route, part of the link up between the city cycling network and eastern suburbs cycling network.

"I've been playing around with the new Xperia Play (well, with the speed of these Android phone releases, it's already old)," the aforementioned developer yifanlu writes.
"I've decided it would be a challenge to try to figure out how the PSone emulator works and eventually be able to inject any ISO and play it with Sony superior PS1 emulator."
After working on it for a week, yianflu finally got an ISO file of Crash Bandicoot 3 working fully using the PlayStation Pocket feature.
The only thing that isn't working is the game's manual. He also says that making multi-disc titles work would be a little trickier.

I spent my spring and summer in southern Helmand conducting research. The population's prescience was unnerving.
Right or wrong, unfounded or founded, the locals overwhelmingly saw the war with the Taliban as yet to come. The tired and sometimes clumsy argument in London and Washington that the Taliban will pour over the Afghan borders upon NATO withdrawal is alive and well around the town centers, wells, and mosques of Marjah and Garmsir. The locals truly believe that Pakistani Taliban—madrassa students and patient trainees ready to die—will storm across NATO-built highways in civilian trucks wave after wave, undaunted by death.
The locals are understandably afraid. They endured at least three Taliban tidal waves in the 1990s. One call in 1997 by Mullah Omar to the Northwest Frontier Province Dar-ul-Uloom Haqqani—the Yale of Deobandi extremism excellence—led the school's administrator to close down courses with an order for all students to run across the border to directly link up with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Earlier headmasters of 12 other radical Deobandi madrassas in the Northwest Frontier Province shut down to send around 8,000 students to join Taliban ranks. And Jamiat-ul-Uloomi Islamiyyah—the Harvard of Deobandi extremism—in a Karachi suburb gave up 600 precious students.
And then the Taliban returned again in 2005 turning the fields to poppies and markets to wide-open morphine/opium/heroin emporiums. The Taliban slapped around Afghans with out-of-regulation beards and publicly beheaded tax dodgers. Those in southern Helmand, not currently heavily involved in Taliban support, fear Pakistan, Pakistanis, the Pakistani Taliban, and a war yet to come.
Southern Helmandis seem to understand the spirit of the six-part counterinsurgency strategy: shape, clear, hold, build, expand, and transition. They understand because they have witnessed NATO struggle through the steps inelegantly. And they also understand because they have witnessed the Taliban rolling through the steps brutally in the past. If NATO is in the hold and build stage currently, the Taliban are in the earliest of the early stages of "shape." Without hope of ever defeating a NATO unit or of completely upturning Afghan security and popular morale, insurgents appear mainly to be testing and observing Afghan security and NATO disposition, composition, and strength—like a reconnaissance mission for a forthcoming war once NATO is gone.
Why do locals seem so sure? What are their sources of information? Are they paranoid? Are they misinformed?
It does not really matter.
What matters is that the Taliban will likely attempt some type of resurgence in poppy-ready Pashtun areas when and where it is possible. Perhaps that means the formal (but unlikely to be complete) "pull-out" 2014, 20 January 2013, or sooner if NATO troops reshuffle out of the now relatively quiet south Helmand.
What matters is that many arbakai (militias), local police, and Afghan National Police believe the Taliban will come back and immediately want to be prepared to defend themselves and their families against it.
This is when counter-insurgency demands a new focus on counter-radicalisation—from more focus on Village Stability Operations for local defense militias, efforts to inoculate the young from joining future Taliban ranks, and demobilisation and reintegration of every possible criminal and stripe of Taliban along with strategies to reduce recidivism.
While military and aid missions attempt semblances of stability; while civil affairs teams push temporary poppy alternatives; while academics ruminate over what level of corruption is acceptable in Afghan government; while intelligence analysts strive to understand the myriad of overlapping types of Taliban and criminals; while local politicians attempt Taliban reconciliation with relatively unthreatening and sidelined Taliban; and while strategists look to Iranian and Chinese long-term interests in Afghanistan, NATO should focus precious assets on countering-radicalisation to stave off the effects of impending Taliban expansion. Empower indigenous resiliencies. The ideological Taliban will probably return again strongly. Afghans at every level of society—not just in the security services—must be ready.

24 of the floats that will be in the parade are being constructed right now at a San Francisco warehouse. Master designer Dave Thomas used to appear in the parade, then he started building floats. First one, then three, then five, and now he is up to two dozen.
Local artists help in the creation, working from Thomas' design. The figures on all of the floats are made from Styrofoam, shaped and then painted. It takes about 200 man hours to assemble each float and they only last the one day.
After the parade is over, the floats are disassembled and the Styrofoam is crushed.
The parade was started in the 1860s by Chinese immigrants who went to San Francisco during the gold rush and wanted to share their culture. It has become the largest celebration of Asian culture outside Asia.
More than 1 million people are expected to watch it Saturday night and perhaps 30 million more will see it as it is streamed to China.

I Believe in a Thing Called Love
I believe in a thing called love not just because it was a one hit wonder song for the band, Darkness, or the incessant portrayal as some perfect and righteous thing by TV. I believe love is used to find the right path in life and the beauty in others.
I remember my childhood perspective of love for my mother, father, and close family members. Always around me, my parents radiated compassion and care. However, now that I am older though I see that same love but more added on to it. I came to discover the love of the opposite sex and friends. I found a tiny piece of love when I dated a friend whom I had known for nine years. At that time she was the loveliest thing. I thought love had died though when she decided to move on. I fell into a depression that seemed to never end and lost almost all confidence in myself. I was struck speechless and felt as if I would never love again like my heart had been wrenched apart.
Yet this disappointment soon gave way to another discovery in my life of friends who had been there for me from the very beginning. My best friend reemerged in this dire time of need and is still to this day my best friend. I can confide in him my women problems, relate to his stories, and most of all relax and have fun. That is how I found brotherly love for life.
I also gained from that painful experience of love a new understanding of what love means to me. Even if the heart has been broken it is only for a better reason and I found part of that reason. I came to think of the experience as showing me what I want in life and what I do not want in my life. I broadened my horizons to new venues to see what else was out there.
That is where love lost has taken me. I find new paths every day because of just one instance of love in my life. I also know I have already been treading these trails blindly because of my love of family and friends. I do not see love as some pure, perfect, and just thing. I see it as another way of connecting to life and being put out deeper and deeper into the world. Love can lead to a certain amount of disillusionment, but in the end, it guides you to your own moral, ethical, spiritual, and physical needs. I believe in love not because it is some perfect thing but because it is fallible, yet still finds ways to open up new doors and interest in love.

From Elberton, Georgia, USA:
I am a middle school counselor working with a 12 year old female who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in the Spring of last year. Lately she has had problems controlling her blood sugar and is feeling very frustrated, tired and depressed. Can you direct me to resources to help me help her?
You could see if this girl is being cared for by a diabetologist or endocrinologist and contact the health care provider, if you have the permission of the parents, and see if they have any advice. It might be that she is not being followed closely and needs some insulin adjustments.
Another resource is 1-800-Teamup4, a telephone number that can put you in touch with a diabetes educator in your area that could help you troubleshoot problems with this young lady.

Billy Joel didn't connect his career to baseball until Shea Stadium was shuttered.
The former home of the New York Mets closed in 2008, but before it did, the Bronx-born and Long Island-raised music icon was enlisted to perform the final two concerts staged there. A lasting result is the 2010 documentary movie "The Last Play at Shea," a combined profile of the Mets and six-time Grammy winner Joel that has its Showtime premiere Friday (Nov. 11), underscored by numerous classics from Joel's 40-year catalog.
"It had never occurred to me that there was such a parallel," Joel tells Zap2it of his own arc and that of the Mets, whose combined histories made the Shea shows such major events for everyone present. "What I recognized and appreciated, right off the bat, was that the audience was a great deal of what was going on. The Shea crowd was sort of all the Brendas and Eddies (immortalized in Joel's 'Scenes From an Italian Restaurant').
"I have this theory that the audience is at least 50 percent of a performance. It's an exchange of energy; you give your energy, then they return that with applause or noise or body language and enthusiasm … and then you give it right back again. It's just a constant exchange that goes on for some three hours, and at the end, everybody is spent. And that's the way it should be. It's almost like sex."
Over the two nights, 110,000 fans packed Shea to hear not only Joel, but also such guests as Tony Bennett (who joins in a duet of Joel's "New York State of Mind") and in a surprise appearance — even to Joel, who didn't know it would happen until literally the last minute — Sir Paul McCartney.
"When I originally asked Paul," Joel recalls, "he looked at his schedule and said he'd love to come, but he couldn't make it because he had a visit scheduled with his daughter. I certainly understood that, so we didn't expect him. When he suddenly showed up, it was a total surprise to everyone. I got a call saying, 'The eagle has landed,' and he had to get from JFK [Airport] all the way to Shea on the other side of Long Island.
"That usually would be impossible with the traffic, but everybody from the police to the FAA got involved and got him there, right when we normally would have ended. He must have been exhausted, but he walked from an international flight right onto the stage without a sound check and started playing. He was tuning his bass with a butter knife; I couldn't believe it. All of us had been in bands that played Beatles songs so often, we knew anything he would have asked for."
As many times as he's performed in front of cameras, Joel maintains it's something he's never gotten used to. "I'm camera-shy," he admits. "Actually, one of the reasons I became a musician is that a lot of our work is done behind closed doors. We're heard and not necessarily seen … or, at least, that's how it was until the advent of MTV.
"In the old days, the only way people saw who you were was on an album cover. And that could be doctored up, or you could even not have your photo on the cover. Nobody really knew what anybody looked like, then they started making videos and it was like, 'Oh, boy. Now we're going to be exposed for what we really look like.'"
To Joel's way of thinking. "That kind of killed some of the magic, because music becomes part of your own imagination. You hear something, then you form your own visual until you're directed to look at something specific. I always resented that. I hated the whole process of making videos. To me, it was reducing music to sort of a cartoon."
Still, Joel has produced anything but cartoons over a career that has yielded a lengthy list of song standards from "My Life," "Uptown Girl" and "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" to "She's Got a Way," "Honesty" and "Just the Way You Are." They're all included in a just-released boxed CD set that compiles every album Joel has made, but he still enjoys the challenge of giving a concert, many of which he's done in tandem with Sir Elton John in recent years.
"Nothing replaces the particular effort of playing live," Joel reasons. "You can go into a recording studio and work for years, but it's not the same. A live performance is the real test of music: Is there an immediate response from the audience? Are you any good? Are you doing it right?
"I knew that early on, from the time I joined my first band and girls started paying attention to me when I was on stage. I was like, 'Hey! This is really cool!' It's a very heady experience, and you have to recognize that's what the gig is."

Summer is a great time for creating wonderful memories with your children. Here are a few of my favorite summer memories with my daughter, Isabel:
- Going to Story Land in New Hampshire and experiencing the joy of nursery rhymes through her eyes.
- Meeting "Cinderella" when Isabel still believed in princesses.
- Going out for ice cream and realizing we both "sneak" spoonfuls when we think the other isn't looking.
- Swimming together in as many different pools and beaches as possible.
- Dropping Isabel off at camp and seeing so many other adults and kids excited to be with her.
- Getting really dressed up together during our resort vacation.
- Sharing a bed while vacationing–even if neither of us gets much sleep.
- Her enjoyment upon tasting her first Shirley Temple. (Now she says her favorite part of summer is "cocktail hour." I just hope she never says that to others out of context!)
- More time reading together.
- Outdoor family Shabbats on the beach with good friends.
Summer is a great time for reading, enjoying friends and taking a family vacation or staycation. I hope you're having a wonderful summer, and I'll be back in September with our back-to-(pre)school edition.

Firstly, the author of the book has an interesting name..... :)ReplyDelete
Secondly, I read all the links you attached. The testimony of that guy: wow. The last few paragraphs were just really good. And the writing is captivating.
thanks :)Replies
I know, I've never heard of that name before either... And yes, now you can see why I spent so long reading that guy's blog. :) Thanks for your comment, too. :)Delete
Wow! These are some great and challenging thoughts, especially for someone like me, who is always plagued with doubts about whether or not my writing is 'good enough'. But a few years ago, I finally decided that I was going to write, and write as well and as bravely as I possibly could. Even if my stories aren't as good as I think they should be, I am going to keep at it, because it isn't all about me. It's about taking the gifting and the desire that God has given to me and doing the very best that I can with it. Hopefully, I, too, will be able to encourage others along the way.ReplyDeleteReplies
Absolutely! I agree with you, and let me say - I was really encouraged by reading your blog today. :)Delete
Thanks so much for visiting this blog and leaving such a thoughtful comment!
God bless.
When you comment:
1. My day will be brighter, my face smiling, and my heart blessed.
2. I'm likely to immediately go and explore your blog (if you have one) to find out more of your amazingness, and return the blessing.
3. I will then attempt to craft a response to you that will somehow fail to convey how much I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness. I'm grateful for every word of encouragement you give, and don't be afraid to share some constructive criticism also; there's always more to learn. In short: thank-you! :)

Actively Engaging Students in the Classroom
One of the key components to successful teaching is actively engaging the learner in the learning process. No matter what the subject of the class may be or who the student body is, Effective learning happens through engagement. Effective teachers understand how to keep students engaged in a variety of ways throughout their lessons.
Actively Engaging students is not to say that teachers take on the responsibility of learning for the students; both teacher and learner have their distinctive roles.
|Teachers experiencing real lessons
Thus, while the learners must do their own learning, the facilitator of that process is the teacher. Effective teachers understand how to facilitate learning through engaging the whole of the learner.
There are many benefits to engaging our students and a limitless number of strategies to employ in order to open the door to learning. Here are a few effective ways...
Actively Engaging Students in the classroom
Apart from the fact that paying attention is a prerequisite to learning, there are many other benefits to engaging our students:
Designing and delivering an engaging lesson doesn't need to be an exhaustive, challenging process, that brings to mind the show-and-tell days of kindergarten (fun as they were).
- Engaging students promotes a positive environment.
- Engaging students lowers the affective filter.
- Engaging students fosters interaction and community.
- Engaging students supports learning (and student) retention.
- Engaging students empowers learners to learn.
- Engaging students produces effective, efficient teaching.
Unscrambling a Dialogue
While there are grandiose manners to insure engagement such as creating a game or writing a skit, there are also smaller, easier measures a teacher can take.
How do we actively engage our students in my lessons?
Here are 6 easy tips to keep in mind when considering how to engage your students:
Energize everyone: If we are physically present, our minds are more apt to be awake as well. There are many ways to energize the class through the use of using manipulatives, music, and movement. When we involve the whole of the learner we energize the body, mind, and spirit.
Necessitate participation: As teachers, we should never do for the students what they can do for themselves. This includes everything from students passing out materials to students asking and answering the questions. The more we allow students to do their own work, the more they stay engaged.
|Group work creates an enjoyable learning environment
Get them in groups: Cooperative learning is a communal act that fits nicely into any classroom context. When we inject pair work and small group activities, students connect with the content and with one another in a deeper manner. They also develop comfort in sharing their academic knowledge. Having students work cooperatively supports their learning and creates community.
Assess at every step: The more we get from them, the more attention they pay. Random, verbal and non-verbal assessments recycle key points and encourage participation. Trying to find out what students know helps them build confidence and helps us keep them in the center of the class.
Personalizing content, building background, and explaining the task's purpose are all ways we generate those connections.
Connecting students to what they are doing and why encourages engagement.
Expect more: When we believe students do know more than they're letting on, we encourage students to reach beyond their comfort zone. That belief however it is expressed is palpable, and students respond to it. When we expect they can, students tend to surprise us, themselves, and their peers.
Student engagement is paramount to learning the content, learning one another, and learning oneself. For students to develop unconscious competence, they must first act consciously. The more conscious we teachers are in who our students are and how to engage them in their own learning, the more we set our students up for success©.
One of the true jewels of engaging our students is how it enables us as teachers to check for comprehension and to practice reflective teaching practices.
|John Kongsvik, director of TESOL Trainers
So, if you are looking for ways to make your teaching more efficient and more effective, remember ENGAGE.
There's no magic to engaging students, but the effects of engaged students can be magical.

Thought this is odd, followed the service cable (2wire with wraped neutral) outside, it's connected to a triplex (2 insulated and a bare neutral), followed it several pole spans down the street to a pole with 3 small transformers. That was the first I had seen that ,and I don't remember that set up from college.

18th Annual Abraham Penn Award Presented to Donna & Rick Morris
Wednesday, January 18, 2017
When Abraham Penn founded Puritan Clothing Company in 1919, he had two key principles:
1. Service to the customer
2. Service to the community
Honoring these principles is the foundation of Puritan Cape Cod's mission. The Abraham Penn Community Service Award is given each year to an individual who has exemplified these principles, along with $1,000 donated to their local chamber. The Penn Family, owners of Puritan Cape Cod, have asked each Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce to nominate an individual for this year's award.
At a reception this morning at Puritan Cape Cod's Hyannis store, Donna and Rick, Owners of RPM Carpets and Floor Covering were honored by members of the Penn family and leaders of the Harwich Chamber of Commerce, who nominated Donna and Rick Morris for the award.
Donna and Rick are the epitome of community and customer service. Donna is currently the Board Chair of the United Way along with serving as the chair of sponsorship for United Way's Best Night of the Year. Donna has worked tirelessly to make the event the amazing success that it is each year. Rick has been a huge supporter throughout the community, from sponsoring road races and parades and serving on the board of WE CAN and being one of their strongest supporters and advocates. Rick and Donna are unstoppable when they set their mind to accomplishing a task and are a tremendous benefit to not only the community of Harwich, but to Cape Cod as a whole.
The Harwich Chamber received a $1,000 donation in Donna & Rick's name for nominating the eventual winner.
Thank you Rick and Donna for all the wonderful ways you've serviced your customers and our local community!

In the entire absence of commerce the law laid down no rules on the subject of suretyship; but it is evident that in the time of Solomon commercial dealings had become so multiplied that suretyship in the commercial sense was common. (Proverbs 6:1; 11:15; 17:18; 20:16; 22:26; 27:13) But in older times the notion of one man becoming a surety for a service to be discharged by another was in full force. See (Genesis 44:32) The surety of course became liable for his client's debts in case of his failure.

Snow Removal and Winter Parking Restrictions
Winter Control and Snow Removal
The County of Prince Edward is responsible for winter road maintenance including plowing, sanding / salting roadways, sidewalks and crosswalks as well as outdoor areas in and around municipal facilities. We do our best to clear the snow and ice as quickly as possible. Many factors, including temperatures and weather forecasts, determine how and when plowing, sanding, and salting takes place.
To ensure roads are cleared as efficiently as possible, an overnight parking ban is in effect on all Prince Edward County roads from December 1 – March 31, from 2am – 6am, every year.
For more information on winter control, please contact the Roads Department at 613.476.6505 or email email@example.com.

« BLOGS OF THE YEAR | Main | MERRY CHRISTMAS AND STUFF »
From the Jan/Feb 2005 issue of Mother Jones magazine: "This playful jaunt through the blogosphere is aptly shot in an informal, first-person, all-access style..."
Thank you, Oh Thank You Rob Nelson - patron saint to the documentary filmmaker! My coworkers were truly excited to see my little film in such a renowned national magazine as Mother Jones. I took it as a sign that I'm going in the right direction.
P.S. - all you first time callers, why not check out this Blogumentary trailer since I haven't added it to my sidebar yet.

It's nice to see you getting some good press for a change. I was all ready to go on Jenny Jones and be like, "y'all don't be disrespectin' my Chollie, uh-uh, oh no you don't!" snappin' my fingers and all that.

great review!
look out 2005.
when you buy out your local news stand of all their copies make sure you lean in toward the check-out person, open up the magazine to your article, point to your name and say, "yeah, that's me. They call me chuck." then sign it, spin it towards them, say merry christmas and give them a nod and a wink.
that would be cool.

So, Mr. Olsen, have you had any offers to
air Blogumentary on TV yet, perhaps with
the up and coming new network IndTV? No,
seriously, they were crazy not to hire you,
I'm wondering if they've come to their
senses and at least asked to show your
doc on their station.
Posted by: Liane at Dec 27, 2004 10:28:40 AM
hey congrats! - welcome to the medium time!
'bout time.
I freaked for a sec 'cuz the dateline on the mojo page is jan/feb 2001.
I thought how is this possible - then I realized that it wasn't.
Kind of reminded me of prom...
Posted by: Patrick at Dec 27, 2004 1:04:22 PM
Yeah, I'm not sure how the Blogumentary went back in time... prolly cuz it's so freakin' fast, like Superman spinning the earth backwards! ("not")
Liane - nawwww, nothing like that. It's not really out there yet though. Hopefully I'll get into a couple of festivals and things. Seems like it would be a pretty stellar fit for INdTV though. Just wait till I start my online blog show, then they'll really be kicking themselves. :-)
Posted by: Chuck at Dec 29, 2004 6:02:33 AM
Ain't it the truth. Well, if IndTV doesn't want your stuff someone who has defected no doubt will. I like this blog by the way. I'm going to send this and check out the Tsunami stuff.

As an Urban Astronomer, I am enthusiastic about astronomy even in the light-polluted urban centers of the world, including my own city of San Francisco. I write this blog for many reasons, one of which is to remind city dwellers that there is still plenty to see in the night sky. Right here in San Francisco, there are ways to view the sky in a dark spot, away from streetlights and brightly-lit areas of the City, and see quite a bit of the night sky. Mainly you just need patience to let your eyes dark adapt your location, and before you know it you can find quite a few stars and constellations.
Over the past weeks, I was traveling in and around Flagstaff, AZ, the World's First International Dark Sky City. Flagstaff is a medium-size city of about 60,000 people, but through smart street lighting, has reduced its light output considerably. While visiting Lowell Observatory on a hill above Flagstaff, you could see the city lights below, but it was not like any other I had seen. Clearly there was light from the city, but it was subdued, not shining up in the sky but rather shining down onto the streets and public spaces. That is Smart Lighting!
There is a global organization called the International Dark-Sky Association that provides advocacy and education to support communities and municipalities around the world to learn about smart lighting and preservation of dark skies. I applaud their efforts and their mission. Locally in San Francisco fellow SFAA member Dave Goggin has organized a list and invites participation in San Francisco discussions about lighting.
What can you do in your community to preserve dark skies? I am sure the Dark Sky Association would welcome your participation. It's a very grass roots thing. Here is an article about an individual in San Clemente starting a movement there. Get inspired!

Instagram bans account 'letting internet decide' fate of captured ISIS jihadis
THE fate of captured ISIS fighters was put to public vote on an Instagram account banned from the internet.
But the account – which claimed to be run by the Iraqi military – has been slammed as "fake" by security experts.
Pictures uploaded to the account showed hogtied jihadis with captions announcing the internet had an hour to decide their fates.
In some cases further photos were posted showing the executed bodies of fighters, to prove the group had honoured the vote.
"It tarnishes the soldiers' reputation in front of the international community"Eisa Ali, RT
One post announced: "We have arrested one of ISIS south of Mosul. You can vote for kill him or let him go.
"You have one hour to vote. We will post his fate after one hour. Tag your friends and take your right.
"Take your revenge from ISIS right now. Please we don't have time, just one hour, so tag your friends."
A subsequent photo showed the prisoner face down in the dirt with a caption thanking Instagram users for voting.
With another photo the account claimed to have arrested one "big f***** of ISIS" and asked for people to vote on his fate.
Experts from the Henry Jackson society believe the photos are genuine and could show a paramilitary group that could include ex-Iraqi special forces.
But there was no guarantee the person captured was an ISIS Fighter, they said, as any military-age male in occupied territory could be treated as a collaborator.
Other security sources said the account, IraqiSwat, was simply lifting photos from different social media pages and reposting them.
Iraqi security analyst, Haidar Sumeri, said: "It's a fake account run by kids who don't live in Iraq.
"Most of the images they post are taken from Facebook accounts of fighters or from YouTube videos," he told the New York Daily News.
RT correspondent Eisa Ali said such fake executions were detrimental to the reputation of the Iraqi army, which is trying to push back Islamic State.
"It definitely hurts the army's efforts because it tarnishes the soldiers' reputation in front of the international community and civilians waiting for the army to liberate them," he said.
Instagram has now deleted the account and a backup account for violating its community guidelines.
Islamic State – also known as Daesh – is facing attacks on its self-proclaimed Caliphate on several fronts in Iraq and Syria.
As a warning to its rivals, ISIS beheaded three Kurdish fighters in a new video from an occupied city.

Dog shot after biting staff
Four humane society workers treated at hospital for injuries
Police fatally shot a dog at the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society Thursday after it bit four staff members, sending them to the hospital, a shelter official said.
The incident unfolded just before 3 p.m., shortly after a veterinarian and a staff member had given the dog, which was being boarded at the shelter after having bitten someone else, a rabies shot, executive director Brad Shear said.
Shear, who is out of town on business, said he was not at the facility off Broadway when the incident happened so he did not have full details. But he said the dog had been muzzled for the procedure.
Menands police were not immediately available to provide details about the attack.
"They followed normal safety protocols, and in removing the muzzle, I think the dog attacked," he said, adding that three of the victims were injured after coming to the aid of another staff member.
Two of the staffers had been treated at Albany Medical Center Hospital for their injuries and released by Thursday evening, while two more were still being evaluated, he said. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear. The veterinarian was not among those hurt, he said.
The age and sex of the dog were not immediately known, but Shear said the animal had been brought to the facility by an animal control officer for a so-called bite quarantine — typically a 10-day hold after a dog has bitten someone during which it is watched for signs of aggression.
He said the most seriously injured staffer is an experienced former animal control officer.
Somehow the dog found its way outside, where responding police officers shot it, Shear said.
Shear said the shelter will fully investigate the chain of events that led up to the attack in the coming days.
"It's surprising that it would happen," he said. "We follow some pretty strict safety protocols to avoid this."

Tornado and Severe Storm Alerts
Tornado Alerts in Seward
Chances for tornadoes occurring are highest during the spring and summer months. The National Weather Service issues weather bulletins in the event of tornado watches or warnings. A tornado watch means that the potential exists for tornadoes to develop, and persons in the watch area should be on the lookout for severe weather.
When a tornado warning is issued in Seward, it means that a tornado has been sighted, either above or on the ground. Warnings will be accompanied by the sounding of the town siren, a long, unwavering, even tone. You should take cover immediately. You should familiarize yourself with the procedures posted.
Please note that Seward's siren is also sounded in event of fire to alert the volunteer fire department personnel.
Tornado Watch
This means that conditions are such that storms capable of producing a tornado may develop.
Action: Move smaller objects indoors. Grills, bicycles, patio furniture and lawn mowers can become missiles in tornadic winds and cause additional damage. Stay close to your TV or radio to see if a tornado warning is imminent. Go to a shelter when it begins to storm - don't wait until the sirens are sounded.
This means that either a tornado has been sighted or that it is highly probable that one will develop. A warning will be signaled by the storm warning sirens.
The Seward tornado warning signal is a three minute steady signal on the sirens. You should immediately seek shelter in the nearest shelter. (If the sirens sound again, it is further warning, not an all clear.)
Action: If a radio is available, keep tuned to a local station or NOAA Weather stations. The Seward County Communications Center can interrupt the audio of most cable TV channels. The "All Clear" signal is given over FM radio stations and not the sirens. Try to remain calm at all times.
Tornadoes have occurred in Nebraska in every month except February; however 78% have occurred in the months of May, June and July. Always be aware of your surroundings, the current environment and the different possibilities that may occur. Make decisions based on what is happening or has the potential to happen. Here is a likely scenario:
- I checked the forecast this morning before I left for school. The possibility of severe thunderstorms was mentioned.
- It is a warm and very humid day.
- There is a strong, southerly wind blowing.
- There is static from time to time on my radio.
- There is a big dark cloud in the southwest sky.
Assessing the SituationBased on your assessment of the environment and the possibility of severe weather, here are some actions you can take:
- I should take a portable radio with me today.
- Between classes, I should use my radio to check what is going on with the weather. The buildings and grounds office sends information on weather watches and warnings via email. The blue screen televisions also post weather bulletins.
- As I go to my classes, I keep in mind where to go in the building I am in for shelter (In the lowest level away from doors and windows).
- When it begins to storm, I must be aware of my shelter options.
- When the sirens begin to sound (or I hear a warning announcement on my radio) I must seek shelter immediately.
If You Are in an Office or Classroom:
Have you given any thought about what to do in case the tornado warning sirens sound during office hours?
When the fire alarm sounds everyone knows to immediately leave the building. When the Seward sirens sound, it is best not to leave the building. Obviously it is better to seek shelter in a basement. If the building you are in has no basement, or if there is no nearby building with a basement, go to the lowest level and get in a small interior room or hallway. Stay away from glass and exterior walls; put as many walls between you and the storm as you can. (If you go outside to watch the show, you may become part of the cast.)
Please share these facts with others. Encourage everyone to make plans for where they will go whenever severe weather strikes. A good idea is to have a drill during the next regularly scheduled siren test. Concordia's environmental health & safety office encourages you to take responsibility for plans in your area.
If you are on campus during a normal work day, the best places to seek shelter are buildings with basements.
These buildings have basements: Brommer, David, Dorcas, Esther, Founders, Janzow, Jesse, Jonathan, Link, Music, PE, Philip, Science, Schuelke, Strieter, Timothy, TLEC and Weller.
If the building that you are in has no basement, go to the ground floor and get in an interior (windowless) room or hallway. It is generally too risky to go to another building once the sirens have sounded.
If You Are Handicapped:
Handicapped persons who are mobility impaired must also make plans. If a power outage occurs during severe weather, elevators may not work. Always go to a small interior room or closet; stay away from windows and exterior walls. Plan ahead and become aware of accessible shelters on campus.
If You Are in a Residence Hall:
When the alarm is sounded, grab your pillow and shoes and head for the basement. Take shelter in the basement corridor or a windowless room.
Know in advance your residence hall's plan for severe weather. Avoid building lobbies because of the glass that may be blown in by high winds. Follow the instruction of hall staff and don't leave the building until an "all-clear" is given.
If You Are in Other Housing:
When the storm warning sirens sound, it is best not to leave your home unless better shelter is just a minute or two away. If your house does not have a basement, go to the lowest floor and get in a small interior room or hallway. (If you have time, you might get into a bathtub and pull a mattress over the tub.) Stay away from glass and exterior walls.
Some of you may remember an old rule that said opening windows would "equalize the pressure." This is iffy at best, and a waste of precious time. Leave the windows alone and get as far away from them as you can. If you are in a mobile home, seek shelter elsewhere. Mobile homes are notoriously unstable and frequently destroyed by tornados. If there is no storm shelter nearby, go outside and find a ditch or depression and lie flat, face down, with your hands on the back of your head.
If You Are in ... Wal-Mart, for Example:
If you are in a gymnasium, auditorium, or theater (most likely full of people), follow the instructions of those in authority and don't run in panic. Large open span areas such as these are subject to collapse, so it is best to seek shelter in a hallway or small room. This is also true of large stores like Wal-Mart or supermarkets. In those situations, if there is no time to seek better shelter, go to the very back of the store - away from any large areas of glass - crouch down, and cover your head.
If You Are in a Moving Vehicle:
If you are in a motor vehicle, don't try to outrun the storm. Tornados do not travel in a predictable direction, and some are faster than others. Don't stay in your vehicle - it's worse than a mobile home. In addition, driving in a city is very dangerous because everyone will be ignoring traffic laws in a rush to get to shelter. If there is no nearby building, find a ditch or depression and lie flat, face down with your hands on the back of your head.
If you see an overpass nearby, do not consider it a shelter. Overpasses are very dangerous because they offer no protection from the blast of flying debris in the violently shifting winds of a tornado. For more information read NOAA's report on Highway Overpasses as Tornado Shelters.
Plan Ahead
Residence hall assistants, professors, department heads and administrative leaders should seek out the best place for everyone to take shelter. Everyone should make similar plans at home. Make sure you have a portable radio and flashlight (with extra batteries), a first aid kit (along with necessary medications), sturdy shoes and work gloves, bottled water and canned food (don't forget the can opener).

Book 1: The Forgetful Spy
Book 2: His Seductive Spy
Lara Santiago's Interview
The Double Recall Book 2
March 2011
Siren Publishing, Inc.
266 Pages
Erotic Multiple Partner Romantic Suspense; Everlasting Polyromance Imprint
Rating: 4 Cups
Daphne Kane lives a typical normal and sometimes boring life. She has an alter personality as Frankie Belle who happens to be a kick butt spy who is strong, lethal, and able to get out of any sticky situation. Neither woman realizes who the other is, thanks to a fantastic scientific breakthrough, until something goes horribly wrong.
Zack tells Daphne that he is an FBI agent but it is just a cover story. His real job includes covert operations that allow him to go places most legal agencies cannot go.
After a weekend involving heated sex like she has never had before, Daphne is ready to go back to her mundane life until events have her taken from Zack as he lay bleeding from a bullet he took for her. It has been several months since that eventful day and Frankie meets up with Zack but as Daphne's alter ego she does not know who he is. For his part, Zack has memory loss from that incredible weekend but he knows there is something familiar about the sexy spy. Between the dangerous mission, a vicious traitor, secrets that have a way of coming out, and a third member of their erotic weekend from months back, Zack and Frankie must delve into the truth and figure out who to believe as well as fight for their lives so they can explore the love they have just found.
I love when erotic stories include wonderful plotlines and His Seductive Spy gives me all I crave when it comes to hedonistic tales. The elements of danger, sex that hits all the erogenous areas, a woman who is unbelievably strong, two sexy men to die for, and enough action to leave you on the edge of your seat is just a few of the reasons I so enjoyed this book. Ms. Santiago knows how to get the reader's attention from the get go and then have them holding on for a ride unlike anything they have experienced before. Zack's character was written as this alpha male who knows how to handle dangerous situations as well as a woman who is a firecracker in his arms. While some novels are a hit or miss story, this is most definitely a hit and I am intrigued enough to want to read the first book in this series.

I was impressed with Divinity's pitch of MBA Mama in StartingBloc's Ideas Marketplace competition. Divinity was named one of the winners, and her prize was a team of 15+ fellows rapid prototyping the MBA Mama concept for half a day. I was on Divinity's team. We hit it off immediately. After discovering our shared passion for women's empowerment, we agreed to form a business partnership." - Nicole

What is a prototype?
A prototype is a tool used to help designers and inventors create a new product. Prototypes are often necessary throughout the development process to help you track the progress of your invention. They can be anything from a simple sketch to a nearly-finished version of your product.
Why do you need one?
Prototypes allow you to test your invention ideas, make changes, see what works and what doesn't, and ensure that everything is safe for final production. They also allow you to easily share your ideas with other people involved in the development process. Depending on your invention, creating a prototype can be expensive; therefore, it's not necessary in all cases to have a three-dimensional, working version of your product developed. However, if it is within your means to create a prototype, doing so can certainly be beneficial.
Prototype help
For more information, or if you'd like help creating a prototype of your own, please answer the questions to the left. Our partner companies can help you through the prototyping process.

I'm really great at procrastinating until the very last minute. I do it with everything- my schoolwork, my housework, important errands; the list goes on. While procrastination is initially really satisfying, in the end I just end up being a hot mess who's all over the place and super unprepared. To combat this I've been trying to be more present and to focus on things that need to get done. That includes things that don't need to get done right this second.
I've made a list of some of the things that help me stay efficient and avoid procrastination. If you're anything like me and put things off, this list is for you.
- Get organized the night before. Whether that means picking up the night before or laying out everything you need, organize yourself in a way that makes things quick and easy for you immediately upon waking up.
- Sleep! This is huge. If you're exhausted chances are you're not going to feel like your best self. This might not be an easy thing for you, but sometimes all you need is to change your bedtime habits! (But I'm also not a doctor, so if you're having serious sleep issues that affect your health and mental well-being please go see someone who can help!)
- Get up and active. It's tempting to lay in bed for as long as possible in the morning, but to be your most efficient self you need to get up and throw yourself into whatever it is you need to do. You can lay in bed another day!
- Set time limits on things that don't benefit what you need to be doing. You know you don't need to spend half an hour in the shower and another 30 minutes picking out what to wear- especially if you're not leaving the house. Be quick and make decisions without overthinking things.
- Eat a balanced meal. This one might be a lot easier said than done and a lot of us don't have time to jump out of bed and cook a gourmet breakfast but eat something that makes you feel full and isn't high in sugar for breakfast. It will keep you at your best for a lot longer than a poptart would!
- Put your phone down! Phones are the worst distractors when you need to get something done. The only way to fight it is to unplug. Tell yourself no while you're working/cleaning/tackling that project.
- Take a break and get physical. Sometimes when you're really not feeling it, it can help to get up and move. Go for a walk, do some pushups, even just dance for a few minutes. When you get out some of your extra energy you'll be able to refocus your attention better.
- Plan ahead and write down reminders, then put those somewhere you can see them. List making can only help you if you remember to look at the list. Same goes with having a planner or a calendar. Don't just throw something into your phone calendar and never look at it again. Get organized. Set timers if you prefer to be digital and if you're old fashioned buy a wall calendar you can see on a regular basis!
- Ask for help when you need it. If you're stuck on something and the only way to get around it is to get help, do it! Even if you don't want to get help or it makes you feel silly, you'll feel much better when it's over.
- Treat yo' self. When you've been your most productive self over and over again for days at a time you can get worn out easily and fall back into the cycle of procrastination. Don't forget to reward yourself once in a while with nights off, some shopping, vacations, a spa trip, or even just a few hours with a good book!

NLIS Pork
Animal Health Australia (AHA) participates in advisory and standards committees for Australia's National Livestock Identification program for the Australian pig industry.
NLIS (Pork) refers to the Australia's Pork Supply Chain Integrity System, in which traceability is a key feature of the system. It is managed by Australian Pork Limited.
The pork industry system integrates programs and systems developed by industry supply chain members and governments, and comprises four components:
- PigPass National Vendor Declaration (NVD)—pig producer declares pig husbandry practices and food safety risk management when moving pigs; carries property identification code and pig tattoo number to facilitate traceability.
- On-farm Quality Assurance—validates the PigPass NVD and verifies compliance with legislative requirements.
- Linkage of the PigPass NVD with abattoir systems—links the animal and the carcase; abattoir management uploads information to the NLIS (Pork)/PigPass database (see PigPass website for details).
- Validation tool (scientific method is currently being researched by the pork industry) – validates the pork supply chain integrity system for rapid resumption of trade in event of a food safety incident.
Pigs listed on the PigPass NVD are physically identified through the use of a slap brand (pig tattoo) that is defined and enforced by state and territory legislation.
Australian Pork Limited is developing fact sheets in consultation with industry and relevant government agencies to increase understanding and adoption of the NLIS (Pork)/ Pork Supply Chain Integrity System.

Asheville's annual craft beer event – Beer City Festival 2015 – will take place on Saturday, May 30th, bringing only the best local and regional breweries and live music to Asheville's Roger McGuire Green.
Summer is almost here, so close you can smell it in the air – and what better way to celebrate the summer season than with good drink and music? The Beer City Festival, the closing exclamation of Asheville Beer Week, is just that: bringing together regional brewers and musicians for a good cause.
A couple of good causes, actually: the first is, of course, the promotion of local members of the Asheville Brewers Alliance (ABA), which works towards the growth of regional, Asheville breweries through events like the Beer City Festival. The second good cause is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western North Carolina, to which a portion of Beer City Festival 2015's proceeds will go.
All this means that, while you're dancing and sampling, and having a great time, you can feel extra good about it – but with an attending brewers and live musicians list like that below, I'm not sure anyone will need much to make themselves feel great at this year's Beer City Festival!
