CHILE CON CARNE by Carmen Aguirre (Alameda). At the Factory Studio (125 Bathurst). Runs to April 14. $22-$29, Sunday pwyc. 416-504-9971. See listing. Rating: NNN
Carmen Aguirre has emerged as one of Canada's most important voices - her 2011 memoir Something Fierce won last year's Canada Reads - so it's fascinating to revisit her 1999 solo show, Chile Con Carne, a remarkable play about the immigrant experience.
It's 1975, and eight-year-old Manuelita (Paloma Nuñez) is living in Vancouver with her parents, who have fled Pinochet's Chile as refugees and soon embark on a hunger strike to bring attention to the situation there. Manuelita tries to fit in at school, wearing a ratty blond wig to hide her dark hair and trying to befriend white classmates who think she's mute.
She's just as happy, though, perched in a big cedar tree that's about to be chopped down. And soon she uses the same political tactics she's learned from her parents and their supporters to get her newfound friends to save the tree.
Aguirre beautifully captures a child's perspective on larger events, and some details ring painfully true, such as Manuelita's disappointment at not getting the "right" Barbie doll and the way her defeated father's voice changes when he's being interviewed by the media. The depiction of how political activists band together forms one of the play's strongest themes.
Nuñez, who's got the energy of a sparkplug, makes Manuelita's wants and needs palpable while letting us grasp what's going on around her.
Marilo Nuñez's direction is uneven, however. A 70s soundtrack is used effectively between scenes to evoke the era, and she also makes good use of tree stumps as props.
But it's overkill to use video of newsreels and projections, particularly of Manuelita's grandmother. And a playful and haunting bit of shadow puppetry at the start could have become a motif to help bridge the changes in Manuelita's life.
Instead, it's used once and abandoned, which seems as wasteful as cutting down a tree.

Google makes login to Play Games api easier
Google makes adjustments in Android by which to ensure that users once after logging in are then automatically logged to Play Games, with any game that supports the API. This is possible because the API requires less permissions.
Currently, Android users need every time they install a new game to log in to the Play Games api. For example, is used for the cloud save feature and tracking achievements. With the changes proposed in the Android Developer Blog, there is no longer a game, but per account logged into the api.
The simplification of the logging is possible because the API no longer requires access to the Google+ account of the user; game services can be used independently thereof. Once a user has logged in, they will receive a Player ID, which other games can then automatically log in the Play Games api. Users will not get any pop-ups anymore when launching new games.
Developers may still choose to request access to the Google + account, that want to use certain data of the player in the game. Users can then choose to display it or deny access.
According to Google, it should be possible to turn off automatic login using the settings in the Play Games App. Google is not known when the changes are made. Users must probably wait for an update for Play Games or Play Services.Viewing:-316

Finding the Right Recruitment Recipe
Finding the Right Recruitment Recipe
With so many candidates to choose from, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack, and CIOs must be increasingly wary of the wildly varying quality of candidates as they sift through the huge piles of incoming job applications. Consider that Hedges is getting as many as 50 applications for positions that used to attract 10 to 15 applicants, and you get a picture of the minefield a CIO must navigate to find the right person. "It's like going into a major department store," says Kasey Bevans, CIO of Balfour Beatty Construction. "You get overwhelmed by the massiveness of it all."
To add to the challenge, the tenuous state of the economy is not only limiting the salaries and perks companies can offer prospective IT workers--it's forcing CIOs to explore new (read: cheaper) ways to attract the talent they need, such as Hedges' university outreach.
See also: Do's and Don'ts for IT Staffing
In Bevans' case, that has meant cutting back on her reliance on recruiters, whose services she says are unnecessary with so much talent on the market today. Instead, she's focusing on personal recommendations, especially from contractors who've worked with numerous companies and thus can point her toward top talent in hard-to-find places. "In many cases, we're going out there and trying to find people who already have a job, and steal them away," says Bevans.
Bill Rogers, CIO of printing press maker Goss International, has opted to keep his ear to the recruiting scene during these challenging times, even as he relies on recruiters less to meet his current needs. Rogers says he wants to stay abreast of what kinds of skills are most available, where the shortages are and what the recruitment trends are looking like, as he fully expects time to be of the essence once the floodgates open. "When the market comes back and I need people, I believe I'm going to need to [hire] rapidly," Rogers says. He says he believes that having those connections with recruiters--whom he'll use again more heavily when things improve--will help him get to the best people before they're snatched up.
Meanwhile, Rogers is trying to take advantage of a market rich with IT talent by shoring up specific areas of perceived weakness, like security, where he lacked an expert in choosing products, evaluating threats and administering security procedures. He was able to find someone he felt he could entrust with his company's entire security strategy. "I spent all this money on anti-virus and anti-spam and all sorts of other things," Rogers says. "I just needed someone to pull that all together and make sure we're spending money in the right areas." As a bonus, thanks to the economy, he was able to find the level of expertise he sought at a discount.

UC DAVIS—Researchers have developed artificial muscles that may help patients with facial paralysis regain the ability to blink.
The technique, which uses a combination of electrode leads and silicon polymers, could benefit the thousands of people each year who no longer are able to close their eyelids due to combat-related injuries, stroke, nerve injury, or facial surgery. Researchers say the approach could be used to develop synthetic muscles to control other parts of the body.
"This is the first-wave use of artificial muscle in any biological system," says Travis Tollefson, a facial plastic surgeon at the University of California, Davis. "But there are many ideas and concepts where this technology may play a role."
The new procedure is described in an article in the January-February issue of the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery.
Tollefson and his colleagues were seeking to develop the protocol and device design for human implantation of electroactive polymer artificial muscle (EPAM) to create a long-lasting eyelid blink that will protect the eye and improve facial appearance.
EPAM is an emerging technology that has the potential for use in rehabilitating facial movement in patients with paralysis. Electroactive polymers act like human muscles by expanding and contracting, based on variable voltage input levels.
For people with other types of paralysis, the use of artificial muscles could someday mean regaining the ability to smile or control the bladder.
Otolaryngologist Craig Senders says reanimating faces is a natural first step in developing synthetic muscles to control other parts of the body.
"Facial muscles require relatively low forces, much less than required to move the fingers or flex an arm," he explains.
Blinking is an essential part of maintaining a healthy eye. The lid wipes the surface of the eye clean and spreads tears across the cornea. Without this lubrication, the eye is soon at risk of developing corneal ulcers that eventually can cause blindness.
Involuntary eye blinking is controlled by a cranial nerve. In most patients with permanent eyelid paralysis, this nerve has been injured due to an accident, stroke, or surgery to remove a facial tumor.
Many patients have no other functioning nerves nearby that can be rerouted to close the eyelid. Others were born with Mobius syndrome, characterized by underdeveloped facial nerves. These patients are expressionless and can neither blink nor smile.
Eyelid paralysis currently is treated by one of two approaches. One is to transfer a muscle from the leg into the face. This option, however, requires hours of surgery, creates a second wound, and is not always suitable for elderly or medically fragile patients.
The other treatment involves suturing a small gold weight inside the eyelid. The weight closes the eye with the help of gravity. Though successful in more than 90 percent of the estimated 3,000 to 5,000 patients who undergo this surgery every year in the United States, the resulting eye blink is slower than normal and cannot be synchronized with the opposite eye. Some patients also have difficulty keeping the weighted lid closed when lying down to sleep.
For the study, Senders and Tollefson used an eyelid sling mechanism to create an eyelid blink when actuated by an artificial muscle. Using cadavers, the surgeons inserted a sling made of muscle fascia or implantable fabric around the eye. Small titanium screws secured the eyelid sling to the small bones of the eye. The sling was attached to a battery-operated artificial muscle.
They found that the force and stroke required to close the eyelid with the sling were well within the attainable range of the artificial muscle. This capability may allow the creation of a realistic and functional eyelid blink that is symmetric and synchronous with the normal, functioning blink. A similar system also could give children born with facial paralysis a smile.
"The amount of force and movement the artificial muscle generates is very similar to natural muscle," Tollefson says. An implanted battery source similar to those used in cochlear implants would power the artificial muscle.
For patients who have one functioning eyelid, a sensor wire threaded over the normal eyelid could detect the natural blink impulse and fire the artificial muscle at the same time.
Among patients lacking control of either eyelid, an electronic pacemaker similar to those used to regulate heartbeats could blink the eye at a steady rate, and be deactivated by a magnetic switch.
The researchers are now refining the technique on cadavers and animal modes. They estimate the technology will be available for patients within the next five years.
The study was funded by a grant from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

The Voyage of HMS Beagle
by Charles Darwin
Who hasn't heard about Charles Darwin's collection of Galapagos finches? But who gives credit to the fossil finds of South America for their part as muses to the father of evolutionary biology?
Not even Darwin realized the importance of the fossils he first encountered in 1833, not quite two years into the adventure that had saved him from life as a clergyman, the fallback profession of 19th century middle-class young Englishmen. After giving up on the study of medicine (the sight of surgeries performed without aid of then unheard of anesthetics made him sick), he managed to complete a university course of study (although without honors), the prerequisite for a career in the church.
In fact, he spent most of his time at university riding, shooting, and collecting insects, activities that would prepare him admirably for work as a scientist/explorer of the time, however questionable they might have been for a priest of the Church of England. And it was at Cambridge that he met others interested in "natural sciences" such as biology, including clergymen/naturalists Adam Sedgwick and Leonard Jenyns.
Sedgwick and Jenyns had received invitations to accompany the Royal Navy's HMS Beagle on a survey mission of the coasts of South America. Both declined due to other commitments, although it's easy to imagine a reluctance of each to be the gentleman-companions of the Beagle's short-tempered Captain Robert Fitzroy playing some part in their refusals. And then they remembered their young friend. Despite the opposition of his father (another career change, Charles?), Darwin accepted the invitation with alacrity, setting sail on December 27, 1831, for a voyage that would change his life and the world.
Official, he was the Beagle's geologist. With the scientific world agog over a new theory of geologic change proposed by Charles Lyell, Darwin packed a copy of Lyell's Principles of Geology to prep for his new job. He would later dedicate his own first book to the Scottish geologist.
Lyell's theory of the gradual change of the Earth over time was at odds with the prevailing doctrine of catastrophic change. But Darwin found that Lyell's theory helped explain his observations of the ship's early stops at the Canary and Cape Verde islands fringing the Atlantic coast of Africa. As the Beagle coasted around South America, Darwin plunged into geology with a vengeance.
"The Beagle arrived (in Argentina) on the 24th of August," he noted in his journal. "With Captain Fitz Roy's consent, I was left behind, to travel by land to Buenos Ayres. . . (including a section) highly interesting from the number and extraordinary character of the remains of gigantic land-animals embedded in it."
Among these were fossils whose size first led Darwin to believe they were rhinoceros. They were later identified as species of extinct giant ground sloths. One would later be named Mylodon darwinii after its discoverer.
Collecting fossils as gleefully as he did everything else, including an attempt to use the bola weapon of the South American gauchos he rode with, he moved on. Galapagos and its finches were still in the future and it would be years more before he began to unravel the mystery of the giant bones.
(Next Friday, Adventure classics continues an August of adventures at sea with Darwin's Voyage of HMS Beagle.)

Terminated: Maria Shriver Files For Divorce From Arnold Schwarzenegger
Maria Shriver filed for divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Breitbart.com reported:
Six weeks after Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed he had fathered a child out of wedlock, wife Maria Shriver filed divorce papers Friday to end their marriage of 25 years.
The former television journalist and Kennedy family heiress cited irreconcilable differences but offered no additional details about the breakup.
She also did not list a date when the couple separated, although they announced they had done so on May 9.
A week later, the former California governor and one-time action star admitted he fathered a child with a member of his household staff years ago.
The filing, which Shriver signed nearly two weeks ago, signals an end to a union that began with a storybook wedding on a spring day in 1986 in Cape Cod and brought together a bodybuilder and rising action star and a princess of the Kennedy clan, herself an up-and-coming network newscaster.
They apparently entered marriage with no plans that it would end. Shriver's filing does not indicate the couple had a premarital agreement.

Revalation hits the top with 'Like Yesterday'
Reggae artiste Revalation is overjoyed that his single, 'Like Yesterday', has hit the pole position of the Jamaica Music Countdown charts.
"This song is a real creeper. I realised that the song was doing well in Jamaica two months ago when I used to get the tweets from disc jockeys playing the song, so I came to the island to do some more promotion and it has paid off. I am very proud," said the singer, who is a native of the US Virgin Islands.
The single also peaked in the top 10 of the reggae chart in Costa Rica. Radio stations in Germany, France, and the UK have also added the lovers rock single to their playlists.
The song's success has been a real shot in the arm for his soon-to-released EP that will be distributed digitally by Zojak Worldwide.
He recently inked a production and management deal with Busspipe Records, which is based in the US Virgin Islands.
Revalation will be doing a tour alongside reggae artiste Pressure of Busspipe Records in 2017.
"I hope to tour all over the world based on the feedback I am getting now, and the video should help me to break into new markets in Africa, Europe and the Caribbean," he said.
He plans to return to Jamaica soon to aggressively promote other singles.

I read rave reviews of her recently released essay collection The Unspeakable, only to find that every other reader in town found these same reviews and requested the book from the library before me. So I get my hands on the only other Daum work offered by the Baltimore County Public Library system (which marks a shamefully huge omission in their catalog since she has published a total of three essay collections and one novel), Life Would Be Perfect if I Lived in that House, a surprisingly delightful read about Daum's years-long obsession with finding the perfect home. When the library's automated system emailed to let me know The Unspeakable was finally mine for a short three weeks, I jumped straight in to this volume with even more enthusiasm for having had a taste of Daum's talent already.
Daum is a dazzling writer, there's really no other way to put it. Her essays are ripe with gorgeous metaphor, display her unparalleled intelligence, and steal readers' attention with their painfully honest wisdom. I found myself reading certain passages over and over again, caught up in the beauty of their perfect structure and artful parlance. But Daum doesn't just have a way with vocabulary and phrasing; she pours her whole heart into every last sentence she composes, producing profound truths that left me marveling at the depth of her grasp on everything from life's most meaningful mysteries to the dark fathoms of her own psyche.
Take Daum's essay "The Best Possible Experience" which recounts her participation in a panel on delaying marriage trends, peppered with reflections on the poor example of marital bliss provided by her parents and tales from Daum's own bizarre dating history. Personally, I wish I could have witnessed Daum deliver her carefully prepared piece, a meditation on the intersection of materialism, marriage, socioeconomic status, and the randomness of falling in love, to the aging audience members of the halfheartedly-attended event. Daum's recollection of this (seemingly brilliant) speech isn't self-aggrandizing so much as self-deprecating, poking fun at her audience's complete disinterest in and, what she initially believes to be, misreading of her speech. The audience then proceeds to sap up every word from their next panelist, a best-selling author who simply reads from the introduction of her book in which she humorously derides women for being so choosy when it comes to love.
When one audience member labels our author as the romantic one and her fellow panelist as the practical one, Daum is completely taken aback, then ensues on a thoughtful consideration of romance and authenticity rivaling the brilliance of her previously recounted speech. You see, Daum always categorized herself as a profoundly unromantic person, given her aversion to traditional notions of commitment and long-term partnership. But upon further inspection thanks to a vocal audience member, she realizes that maybe her openness to experience and near-religious belief in the importance of authenticity are actually evidence of a nascent romantic nature, that her desire to meet wildly diverse types of people and to hear their stories indicates a sentimental hope that a stranger's life could come to intertwine with hers in a great, unlikely love story. What I love about this piece is its display of Daum's uncanny talent for slyly reeling readers in so that they end up just as surprised as Daum at her concluding discoveries; at first we, like her, are duped into thinking Daum's no-holds-barred approach in these essays is far from sentimental, only to realize upon further consideration that her sincere efforts at writing authentically are better classified as heart on your sleeve, an undeniably romantic approach.
Basically "The Best Possible Experience" completely stole the show for me, and it was only the second essay in the book. In fact, I would have desperately loved The Unspeakable even if every other piece downright sucked. But that isn't to say that the following essays are a drop off in any way; I simply connected with this piece and immediately wanted to ponder it at great length and depth, while also fighting the urge to forge on to the next wonderfully insightful installment.
Many of the other essays are actually much darker than this one, but the book never borders on depressing or cynical. Daum brings a refreshing degree of honesty to her writing that touches on those unspeakable things (hence the title) that most people would find ways to skirt around. She contemplates her mother's death, their troubled relationship, and her ambivalence of feeling toward a person so overly concerned with appearances and desperately lacking in motherly warmth. Modeling after her mother, Daum worries how the home health aide, hired to care for her mother through her final days, views this family that faces its matriarch's death in such a matter-of-fact, unsentimental, and tearless way. Daum forces readers to face truths about aging that are blatantly unpleasant, from the misguided nostalgia we feel for a youth that was never as good as it seems in hindsight, to the irreconcilable loss of a future ripe with possibility once certain decisions force our lives into corners and dead ends we can never hope to navigate out of. She highlights the contradiction between our overly-sappy, sentimental affection for animals, particularly canines, and their patently genuine animal nature, exploring her own fathomless love for these "ticking time bombs that lick our faces," a species which she would rather have present at her deathbed over any human companion.
One of the more unspeakable topics that Daum touches upon in many of these pieces is motherhood, or rather her lack of interest in entering the realm of motherhood, even after learning that she is pregnant by her husband who desires to raise a child, followed by a miscarriage that is both a welcome relief and a source of great sorrow. These disclosures are heart-wrenching and at times unbelievable. They fall outside the lines of civil conversation, verging on bold truths we would be equal parts scared and shamed to admit even to ourselves. But what makes Daum such a gifted and unique writer, what makes her work so necessary to read, is that these harsh and unpleasant admissions also readily evoke deep empathy from readers.
In a piece reflecting on her experience meeting Joni Mitchell, Daum attributes to Joni the lesson that "if you [don't] 'write from a place of excruciating candor you've written nothing'." The Unspeakable itself is a testament to this teaching, an exercise in exploring the ungenerous and unexplored sides of life with poignancy, frankness, and comedy (because what reveals the darkness of things with more honesty than humor?). Daum truly takes Joni's words to heart, and luckily she is gifted with the rare ability to speak the unspeakable and gain so many devotees in doing so.

Senior Financial Advisor
Gail joined Klein Financial Advisors in early 2016 as a culmination of her successful and somewhat unexpected career in financial services. She earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) designation when women were new to the profession, and she has been committed to empowering people with the financial education they need to achieve greater financial confidence and security ever since.
After her mother's death when Gail was just 13 years old, she was expected to manage her family's household from top to bottom, and she quickly learned the importance of understanding money. Luckily, the Social Security benefits she received from her mother's death helped fund her education. After stumbling into an opportunity at her uncle's investment practice, she was surprised by the lack of financial knowledge in her clients. From senior executives and college grads, to widows and non-earning spouses, she saw so many individuals who didn't participate in financial decisions and had no idea how to build and sustain wealth. Today, Gail's passion is to provide her clients with the financial, saving, and investing knowledge to make informed decisions about every aspect of their financial lives.

The Somewhat Hilarious Life of Phoenix and Shooter
All winter long, the animals at Drowsy Water Ranch get a chance to be themselves and show their personality. Let me tell you, we have a lot of characters around the ranch--animals and humans both. Two of the animals with the most personality around here? The goats, Phoenix and Shooter.
Usually, we buy baby goats in the spring, keep them for the petting zoo during the summer and sell them in the fall. But these particular goats and their extremely personable demeanor have allowed them to continue residence through the winter. They've made a place in our hearts and, specifically, in Peyton's heart. Peyton actually speaks goat--really clear, perfect goat. She can call them in a loud Maa-Maa-MAAAAA and they come running to her. They follow her around the ranch like she is their leader, their friend, their human-goat liaison.
And if you want to see some funny animal behavior, just observe Phoenix and Shooter for a day. Their day to day existence is hilarious. A day in the life of a DWR goat may include climbing atop big rocks or logs, perching atop the hay bails in the feeder while the horses eat all around them, chasing and being chased by the dogs, climbing on Ken and Randy Sue's hot tub, or following Peyton and Chase down the road on a walk or a bike ride. They are friendly, but I'm not sure they know for sure if they are goats, horses, dogs, or humans.
Peyton even dressed them up like super heroes one day. They didn't seem to mind a bit.
One particularly hilarious occurrence happened just a few weeks ago. I was in the kitchen at our house doing what I do in the kitchen--cooking, cleaning, organizing--and the kids were playing outside. And by kids I mean both human and goat kids since Peyton had walked the goats down to our house to play outside. Or at least I thought they were meant to play ONLY outside.
While I was inside, the phone rang. I answered,
"Hi Steph, what's up?"
Steph: "Oh nothing I was just calling to..."
Me, walking around the corner from kitchen to front door "Oh, crap, Steph, hang on a sec, something is coming in our front door..."
Steph: "Something? What are you talking about?"
Me: "Oh, it's one of our...NO NO NO... GET OUT! ...Goats"
Steph: "Your goats? You have goats coming in your house?"
Me, grunting as I pull on the goats back leg, "Yes, the kids must have brought them down, just...(more grunting) give me a sec (grunting and heavy breathing) I have to pull him out by his leg."
Steph: "You are pulling a goat out of your house by it's leg?"
Me, breathing heavily now "Yes, (stop to breathe), the little terd, get out of here! (then me to the kids) The goats CANNOT come in the house! DO NOT bring the goats in the house!"
Me: "Sorry Steph, what were you saying?"
I think Steph forgot what she'd called about by that point. I just laughed, a day in the life of a dude ranch family.
Hope you can come observe the funny characters soon. Drowsy Water Ranch characters are like no others.

If a picture is worth a thousand words – then there's nothing left to say!
Each piece of this juicy, delicious, beautiful, brilliantly colored fruit, is filled with a variety of nutrients, offering special health benefits.
Green fruit has antioxidants that contribute to maintaining healthy vision and reduce cancer risks.
Orange and deep yellowfruit is an excellent sources of carotenoids and the antioxidant vitamin C. These nutrients promote healthy vision, immunity and reduced risk for some cancers. The deeper the orange/yellow color, the more carotenoids they have.
Purple and blue fruit contribute to healthy immune function, may help with memory, urinary tract health and reduced cancer risks.
Red indicates fruit that may help maintain a healthy heart, vision, immunity and may reduce cancer risks.
White, tan and brown fruit sometimes contain nutrients that may promote heart health and reduce cancer risks.
When it comes to fruit and diabetes there is a lot of misinformation. One of the common "urban legends" is that you can't eat fruit if you have diabetes. Of course you can have fruit – and as noted above, if you choose not to eat fruit, you'll miss out on all the health benefits fruit has to offer.
The following tips will help you manage diabetes and enjoy a rainbow of color in your fruit bowl.
- Eat fruits raw, as juice with no sugar added, or canned in their own juice. Avoid canned fruit in heavy syrup.
- Eat pieces of fruit, rather than drinking fruit juice. Pieces of fruit are more filling.
- Buy fruit juice that is 100-percent juice, with no added sugar.
- To increase fiber intake, choose whole or cut-up fruits more often as snacks or with meals, instead of juice.
- Prune juice, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew, prunes, dried peaches or apricots, orange juice, and plantains are all rich in potassium which may help to maintain healthy blood pressure.
- Portion control is important – the following serving sizes provide 15 gms of carbohydrate: 1 medium peach, apple, or orange, 1 1/2 cup watermelon, 15 grapes, 1/2 cup orange or grapefruit juice.
Have you successfully included fruit in your diet? How many servings of fruit do you eat each day?

Ty has now hit his second stacking phase. At around 11 mos, he really enjoyed stacking simple wooden and squishy blocks, impressing us with up to six block towers, but it didn't last long. Blocks became boring and his block center was often ignored. I couldn't figure out how to entice him.
In an attempt to cure his block boredom, I gave him unit blocks for Christmas. He was occasionally interested in building with the cylinders, but it wasn't a popular activity. After a few weeks I took them out of rotation. When introducing them again after about three weeks, I decided on a whim to only use 4-5 of each shape to avoid overwhelming him with a large basket of blocks, and to sort them in this container by shape. Aha! He took to this instantly!
I've found Tyler building some pretty creative towers using many shapes at once, (the most interesting not caught on camera of course) and he takes his work quite seriously. There were a few days when the poor babe would bawl when his tower would fall, then, still crying, would instantly start again. Determination!
Happy with his work!
I like that with the unit blocks he is handling true shapes and getting a real understanding of them and how they fit with others rather than just looking a photos of shapes in a book. This is a very Montessori idea in-line with the geometric solids work he will do as he gets older.

Stacking beads from his bead tree. I've noticed him stacking object from his treasure basket as well!
Interesting way to stack these cups! To be quite fair, I actually have trouble stacking these cups myself. This particular brand seems to be a bit flawed in its fit. Great for nesting too though, a favorite activity.
Color recognition, talking about size and shape...despite the difficulties stacking, I do love these simple cups!
A no-cost way for kids to have fun stacking is to save food boxes and containers for them. I keep these in a kitchen cupboard, though you could use box or crate to store them in as well. Great for keeping a little one busy while you cook! [Note: Tyler's a decent builder, but he didn't build these towers, I did!]
Another no-cost way to keep a little stacker happy is to provide big boxes for them to stack (i.e. diaper and shipping boxes). How fun to build a tower almost as big as you are...and to knock it down! Older kids would likely enjoy making forts. I keep a bunch of boxes in our basement and Tyler is a huge fan. You can buy a set of cardboard blocks that are more attractive, but these work just fine for us right now!
What items get stacked in your home? I'm sure Tyler would love some new ideas!

Most of our artists participate in ArtVanSF events.
Although entertainment is a fundamental and arguably detracting aspect
of showing artists work, we feel it brings the viewer closer to experiencing
the art rather than simply viewing it. We also think it is a more interesting
and memorable way to locate artists on our site. However, you may already
be familiar with one or several of our artists, so this page helps you
find them here in one big list. Or use the search button to the left (be
sure to select artists from the drop down box). Also, since all of the
artists from older shows have not all been put in the database, please

Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
This is absolutely a great anal plug for many reasons. It's pink, soft, strong vibes throughout, quiet, and the base is super comfy between even the roundest bootie cheeks. I think that anyone into anal play should own this! If it wasn't jelly I would say it is a 5 star toy.
The Tush Trainer Intermediate is a fantastic toy! It's great for anyone looking for super strong vibrations OR something soft! The quiet sound, soft feel, and comfortable design makes this toy great for any intermediate plug user.
I love this toy! It was my very first anal toy, and I've had an awful lot of fun with it! The size is not at all intimidating, and is great for beginners in my opinion, not to mention that the price is quite low, so this is a safe bet if you want to try a vibrating anal plug without sinking a lot of money into it right away.
For advance anal play, this plug is too small. However for beginners, I think its perfect. Good strong vibration but still quiet. Long cord, which is fun for your partner to be involved but also good for solo play. Plug feels good in your bum or vagina. I think men would enjoy this plug for anal play as well.
The Tush Trainer is great and doesn't disappoint. Use it in combination of intercourse and be blown away. It's a great addition to your toy box.
It's a fun toy and great for beginners. A great buy but has some short comings. However over all a great little toy
Even with the short remote cord, the Tush Trainer was enjoyable if not earth-shaking.The size, shape, and feel are all signs that this toy is meant for someone with at least a little experience in butt play and not beginners.
This simple plug design doesn't disappoint. It stays where it should and feels great; even for long uses. Using this in combination with intercourse makes regular sex seem boring.

Why that's bad: Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, so without enough of it, bones may not develop properly. Researchers are also finding strong links between low D levels and other conditions, most recently Type 1 diabetes, the second most common chronic disease in children.
What's going on: Ordinarily, most of the vitamin D we get would come from sun exposure. But the sunscreen we slather on (for good reason!) completely blocks the UVB rays that our bodies convert into D, says James Dowd, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Michigan State University in East Lansing. That leaves us to get D from food, and there aren't many kid-friendly sources. Milk and some cereals, OJs, and yogurts are fortified with D, but not all kids down enough of these. Finally, breast milk has a very low concentration of vitamin D, putting babies who are exclusively breastfed at particular risk.
The solution: Some experts are in favor of letting kids older than 6 months soak up some rays sans sunscreen -- 10 to 15 minutes three times a week at midday, except during winter, when the level of UVB rays is insufficient. That said, not all doctors or parents are comfortable with the strategy, given possible risks of sun damage.
In that case, supplementation is the other way to go. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that kids get 400 IU of D per day, and specifically recommends a supplement for:
- exclusively and partially breastfed babies until they're drinking at least 32 ounces of milk or formula a day
- bottle-fed babies who drink fewer than 32 ounces of formula per day
- older kids who don't get 400 IU per day through other fortified foods. (To help you do the math, there are 100 IU of D in a cup of milk.) Still not sure if your child is at risk for a D deficiency? Your pediatrician can easily help you figure it out.

As public relations professionals it is important to understand the function of proactive planning. Proactive planning allows for an organization to be prepared "just in case" an incident occurs. It is fire prevention as opposed to putting out fires. It gives an organization time to formulate calculated responses to a variety of probably scenarios. An organization must have a proactive crisis management plan as soon as it has an initial business plan. It should be embedded in the first stage of business planning. During an event of crisis; time is always of the essence and having a proactive plan means that a company does not need to waste valuable time preparing a plan.
It is important to have data to pinpoint specific problems as well as evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of a proactive plan. Some mechanism to acquire the data or feedback would be to hire a research team to find out firsthand relevant facts about a crisis.
Also having systems for polls and surveys are a good way to get an idea and understanding of the company's image in the eyes of its publics internally and externally. Having a crisis communication plan is also an effective tool because it streamlines the communication process and allows for the company's message to reach the key media.
An ineffectual way to carry out a proactive plan is simply not to be proactive or to be responsive. Communication is also the key to carrying out an effectual proactive plan. Stakeholders and employees must understand the voice of the company in a crisis situation; improper communication could result in lowering morale and stakeholder abandonment. The media also needs to understand a company's position in a crisis. By communicating early and truthfully; a company can avoid having the media draw its own conclusions without...

Actually he was saying "cyclonic" ...
Not that it would have been any kind of a surprise. I've never known a vacuum cleaner that wasn't.
My current Miele Cat and Dog with Turbo Brush, for example, would vacuum up the actual cats if given half a chance.

Given the power of the lower-priced Miele model, that does not surprise me at all. The good folk at Miele must have carpet that is heat-glued to the floorboards in their test labs.
Otherwise they are very fine vacs indeed.

Miele schmiele - Dyson is the last word in cat-fur vacs
(seven cats and one Dyson)

Yes indeed, my next vac will be a Dyson. The Miele is really good, but it's seen six or seven years of heavy-duty fur-elimination and has already completely worn out one turbo brush head, and I've been less than happy with the after-sales service and availability of bags and bits.
Seven cats?
You do realise, do you not, that you qualify for Crazy Cat Lady status at four? (NB Crazy Cat Lady is a gender-neutral term.)

We didn't intend to have seven - had two, but when the heavily pregnant stray appeared in the back yard, we figured we'd keep her till the kittens were weaned, and then find homes for 'em (our neighbour was going to take her to the vet for an abortion).
We-e-e-ell...you can probably guess the rest. Five kittens, found homes for two, one came back, and the other people who answered the ad struck us as being folk who shouldn't have children, let alone pets - so we decided to keep the lot.
(And yes, we have the Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure - it only comes with six cats, though)

Guess I qualify (or did, at least) as a Crazy Cat Lady too. Until fairly recently I had 4. Spike died at the age of 20, Sasha when she was 16, leaving me with Sasha's grandson Mr Snuggles and Geoffrey the Serial Cat (so-named for her bed full of mouse heads ... ). I've stabilised at 3, Bruce having wandered in a while back (aged about 6 months) and done her well-known "I'm the cutest cat in the world"/purr stole routines.

"Worlds have turned on such thoughts!" In Viz Comics they routinely do (quite good) cartoons based on such puns. They would probably team up a minor celebrity with the psychotic vacuum cleaner, eg, 'Xena and her Psychotic Vacuum Cleaner'.

Bruce, having smelt that I was at the 'puter, has decided to be a purr stole again. Stopping a fairly hefty cat from sliding onto the keyboard with your left arm is quite an impediment to typing.

Bruce and Geoffrey are both girls, I gather. What about Mr Snuggles?
- 9:40 pm, July 22, 2008

Mr Snuggles was originally a boy. (He's actually called Alex. He hasn't realised I'm taking the piss.) Geoffrey the Serial Cat is actually called Kira, and belongs (technically) to my oldest son, but because he lives in a flat he can't have her. Bruce was so-named in a vain attempt to get my youngest son (who found her in the back yard and came in clutching her and saying "Can I keep her, can I, can I, can I?") to make more than a half-arsed attempt to find her actual home. (It was intended to be a threat, but not a very successful one, from the outcome.) Also, because she was a very philosophical cat ...

So I'm thinking of applying to a university for my Master's degree. Part of me is excited about the opportunity. Part of me feels a little ridiculous. I have children who are old enough to think about getting a Master's degree. I worry that my time for being a student has long passed. It will take three years to earn a Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministries, at the end of which time I will be 54. It's an age that sounds pretty old to be walking to "Pomp and Circumstance". My ever-supportive husband has pointed out that I will be 54 whether I go back to school or not, so why not do it? I understand that, and I am grateful for his encouragement, but still. Is the whole idea misguided? Will I work or live long enough to justify the expense? Am I, instead of aging gracefully, clutching at straws? I hope to be able to put my degree to good use in the future as a prison chaplain. I have been volunteering with the Catholic chaplain at the nearby state prison for four years, and feel very much called to commit more deeply to this work. The prison has become like a second parish to me, the Catholic (and non-Catholic) inmates comprising a truly, and surprisingly, spiritual faith community. I believe this particular Master's program will make me more professionally suitable to this ministry. I also believe that, although I may feel silly, I am in reality sending the message to my children that a person is never too old to learn, to expand, to challenge oneself, to take a chance; that it matters to follow a dream, however unlikely it may seem. I have worked out all the reasons to proceed. I just have to get over my own misgivings, my secret fear that maybe a person can be too old to do a lot of things. I'll have to see what I'm made of, and risk being disappointed at what I see. Valerie Schultz

Since you're already experienced in prison ministry, I suspect the degree will be a breeze. With your experience you could practically teach the course, no? As for justifying the expense -- do you have a heart problem? Surely modern medicine can keep you alive long enough to make use of your degree. Good luck.

Saudi Arabia to Continue Applying Islamic Law
Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdel Aziz said Friday that Riyadh would continue to apply Islamic law, or sharia, which he said did not violate human rights.
"The respect of human rights is present in Islam and sharia, and no other law on earth could be more just to man than Islam," Prince Nayef said, quoted by the official SPA news agency.
Prince Nayef also dubbed the Amnesty International report released March 28 on human rights "violations" in Saudi Arabia as "clearly a tendentious campaign against Islam to misrepresent it."
"We can discuss their (Amnesty's) claims that we do not apply sharia, but we reject outright their opposition to Islam as a dogma and source for our laws, and reaffirm our attachment to Islam and its principles," he said.
"Does the fact of applying sharia to guarantee security violate human rights? Do we also have to pardon criminals and ignore the victims?" he asked.
The prince also called on Amnesty to present proof to back up its accusations and stressed that the Saudi kingdom had "nothing to hide."
Amnesty accused Saudi Arabia of arbitrary arrests, torture and executions, the persecution of political opponents and religious minorities and cruel judicial punishments, including amputations.
The kingdom rejected the charges made by the London-based human rights organization but said it was ready for a special rapporteur to visit to check on the independence of its judicial system.
The conservative Gulf kingdom regularly imposes the death penalty on murderers, drug traffickers, rapists, armed robbers and those convicted of apostasy, and also orders the amputation of the hands - or less often feet - of convicted thieves -- RIYADH (AFP).

Thiel Fellowship Semifinalist Advice
I wrote some advice about the first round of the Thiel Fellowship. Here's some advice for all of the semifinalists this year. I haven't passed any of this by the Thiel Foundation and these are all just personal viewpoints. For full disclosure, I am interviewing some of the semifinalists myself.
You will go through two interviews in the next 10 days. Each one will last about an hour. Make sure to be very flexible with your schedule and accommodate your interviewer. Your interviewer will be either a Thiel Fellow or a mentor. These people have full-time jobs and are volunteering some of their time because they care so much about this program. Make sure to respect that and give them a full hour of your time if need be.
One of your interviews will be a "technical" interview. This means they will pair you up with someone who is very knowledgeable in your field and they will be grilling you about your background and expertise. Make sure you come well-prepared to this interview and even bring previous projects/papers you've worked on in this field if possible. Your other interview will be a "general" interview. This means we're looking for someone that is a good cultural fit. Relax, talk about yourself, and make sure you explain why you're so excited to apply for the Thiel Fellowship. Huge plus if you've already been participating in the community and have come to some of the summits.
Written Application:
List your latest project pitch (this should be clear and concise):
Pretty standard question. This really shouldn't be more than 2 or 3 sentences at most. Make sure to describe why your product is important not what it is, i.e. we allow people to fly and achieve their full emotional potential, not we make hoverboards.
Reflect on your two sentence pitches in your original application. How are your 3 month goals coming along since you applied? What have you learned in the process of working towards your 3 month goal? If your goal has significantly changed please reflect on those changes below.
This is the most important question on the update. The Fellowship wants to fund people who can actually execute. It's been two months since you last applied. Yes you're taking a full class load, but you better have accounted for that when you set your 3-month goal. The more concrete of answer you can give, the better, i.e. built a prototype, here is the link or connected with this mentor or applied to this program.
Who advises you regularly? How have you used this person's feedback to make progress?
One of the most effective aspect of the Thiel Fellowship is the mentor network they pull together. They want to see that you have managed mentor relationships before and have actually adjusted your life course based on advice they've given you. Again, the more concrete of answer you can give the better. If you can point to a specific piece of advice you followed or specific introduction you asked for from you mentor that they gave, that would be best.
List your plans for the next month. Star the plans that will be most challenging and share your strategy for meeting those challenges.
Second-most important question on the application. If you make it to the finalist round, they will be looking at what you've said here and this will play a very large part in whether or not you get the fellowship.
How will you leverage the resources of the fellowship (2 years, $100k, community of like minded peers and advisors, workshops, etc.) to make the most out of the opportunity? Additionally, many projects will require more resources (mainly funding) than we can reasonably provide in the fellowship. What other resources will you consider applying for, or utilize (if you already have them), to fully actualize on your goals?
The Fellowship is a great program, however it's been clear that the fellows who do best are the ones who can also pair it with a shorter-term and faster-paced program. Whether that's a startup accelerator if you are working on a company or some sort of research program if you're a researcher. Make sure to have very specific resources that you are planning to take advantage of and even talk about having started the application process for some of them, i.e. StartX or YC.
Over the course of the two years, fellows spend a lot of time with each other, our summit community, and with Foundation staff. What is it that you'll bring to this larger community? How will you contribute?
Got any cool hobbies you like sharing with your friends? Share it here. I took a bunch of Thiel Fellows rock climbing and orienteering. Talk about how you are fun outside of work and what you can bring to the table. The Fellowship is very community-driven, a lot of the resources put on the table have been brought in by previous fellows. What can you bring?
If you do not receive a fellowship, what will be your plan of action moving forward?
Third-most important question on this application. They want to see that you are passionate enough about your project that you aren't just relying on the Thiel Fellowship to realize it. What other programs are you applying for? What's your backup plan if you don't get the fellowship? Do you have an internship or some freelance work you can rely on to get yourself to Silicon Valley to start making the connections necessary to take your project to the next level?
Recommender's name, email address, phone number, relation to you, and number of years you have known this person.
If you can get someone in the Under 20 Community as a recommendation, that's great. Second to this would be having someone that is somehow involved in the startup community. Best if they are based in the Valley. This recommendation isn't critical to your application but can only help.

3D Scanning for Inspection Service
3D scanning technology lets you verify that manufactured items match the original CAD model, quickly and accurately identifying any discrepancies between the part and the plan.
Using our state-of-the-art 3D scanning and contact probing technology, we can acquire accurate geometrical data for product inspection.
The data can be accurately aligned and compared with either a CAD model or another scan. Industry-standard inspection methods including RPS alignment, GD&T compliance and feature comparison are all easily achievable.
3D scanning is ideal for analysing complex or unusual parts that can't easily be captured by measuring, such as castings and pressings. It can also be used to identify areas of damage.
The 3D scan data also lends itself to creating physical replicas through 3D printing, allowing visitors to 'touch' items that would be too rare, valuable or fragile for them to handle otherwise.
How it Works
- We use our state-of-the-art scanner to capture detailed shape data on your part(s). You can bring your item(s) to our workshop, or we can travel to you. The scanning process is completely contactless.
- Almost anything can be scanned. Scanned items can be almost any size, although some reflective or absorbent materials may require extra preparation work. Our scanner also needs to be able to 'see' every surface of the object. We are happy to advise you on what is possible.
- We process the scan data, import it into an inspection package and 'overlay' the actual scan on the original CAD model, allowing us to identify any differences between the model and the part.
- Deviations can be viewed from any angle and accurately measured, allowing you to alter your plans to address the problems.
- We can present the results in numerous ways, including easy-to-read PDF reports or as manoeuvrable 3D PDFs.
