On a completely different topic...I have to brag. For the past month or two we have been sitting on the potty and on occasion he will happen to pee or poop while he's sitting there. Well, yesterday he signed "potty" to me for the first time, then tooted in the potty! It may not sound like much, but I was thrilled! Today, he again signed potty, and then he peed in the potty!! It's one thing to happen to catch a pee/poo, but he initiated it himself! He realized he had to go, then he went! I'm over the moon excited! My little 16 month old is growing up so fast!
Doesn't he look fancy? He loves wearing those beads! Please note the jazz hand. I'm pretty sure he's going to be a star! : D

Now, why are you taking a picture of that?
June 25, 2014
This week's challenge selection is Now, why are you taking a picture of that? by Katney. Check out my pals for their interpretations on this theme: Fishing Guy, Katney, Imac, Lew, and Christine Anne.
We've all been there, right? You see something that you're compelled to photograph--perhaps something that is not a traditional subject. Sometimes, it's the colors that catch your eye, or perhaps a reflection, sparkle, composition, unusual angle... Oh heck! Who needs an excuse?! Sometimes a fella just feels like he has to shoot something! I digress. The point is, that we sometimes get a quizzical reaction from people when we snap our pics. They're wondering, now why are you taking a picture of that? The header is a setup I created where I borrowed an ant from his work on the peonies in my front yard. I used a thin strand of wire to hold my "model" in place for the portrait shoot. "Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up."
I hope you appreciate that I did my footwork for this photo collection:
|My daughter's new boots after she frolicked through the flowers... on moist terrain.
|A bride's shoe. It reminds me of Cinderella.
|A horde of teenagers stormed my house.
|It looked like I was taking a picture of the fence in the dark. But I focused manually and used the flash to catch a lightning bug.
|This kite fooled me into thinking it was a hovering bird of prey.
|This shot had me looking like I was aiming at the siding of my own house. My neighbors must think I'm loony!
|Camera on the ground - in front of a car's headlights - in the rain. Yep; that's normal.
Addendum: With these comments I've heard about the ant, I should tell you that I returned this ant unharmed to his work in the flowers. :-)

The First Wonder
February 15, 2013
Good morning eveyone out there in computer land. I hope everyone is finally dug out after this weeks snow events. The blizzard that we had this last weekend is a perfect example of the first wonder of the corn world. As you know from reading last weeks blog we are discussing the "Seven Wonders of the Corn World", or what are the most important factors for us to raise 300 bu/acre corn by 2050. I'd like to thank Jerry Juven and Jared Swiontek who both answered last weeks question correctly. The question was what is the first wonder of the corn world, both of them answered weather. Weather is what we consider anything that mother nature throws at us that is out of our control, such as rain, drought, heat, cold, and storms. Weather is responsible for 70 bushels out of our 300 bu/acre goal. You may be asking yourself is if weather is responsible for up to 27% of our total yield, how in the world are we ever going to get to 300 bu/acre. The only answer is we have to optimize the factors that we can control, and thankfully we can control the final six wonders. But for now, if anyone can tell me what the second wonder of the corn world is please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Until then I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Sexual challenges after prostate cancer treatment can take their toll on a man's psychological health and relationships. Depression and anxiety are not uncommon, and men may feel disconnected from their gay and bisexual community and sense of self.
Fortunately, there is hope. For example, there are effective treatments for ED, such as pills, vacuum devices, and injections. Counseling can help men coping with depression or anxiety. And through sex therapy, men can learn to readjust their roles in sexual relationships, if they feel they need to.
Discussing their concerns with their partner and their cancer care team is a good starting point.
Some men are reluctant to talk about their sexuality, especially with doctors. However, ignoring the conversation could prevent men from getting the help they need. In such cases, men might consider seeking support from peers who can offer advice and referrals to healthcare providers who specialize in the health of gay and bisexual men.

Microsoft secured an out-of-court settlement last week in its unlicensed software infringement proceedings against Perth-based switch manufacturer Millennium Solutions, but the defendant is crying foul.
Responding to a widely distributed Microsoft statement announcing the software giant had received "damages paid for infringement of copyright", Millennium CEO Tony Mitchell claims he was bullied.
He admitted there was a possibility some illegal software may have been copied and loaded by staff acting alone and for personal use. However, Mitchell strongly refuted implications it was systematic or condoned by management.
Mitchell claims Microsoft had obtained information from a single disgruntled former employee he had been forced to dismiss. He feels the software giant then used "bully boy tactics" to gain a settlement.
He said the terms of the settlement included payment of damages which totalled "less than the cost of a cheap Korean car", and said he preferred to take the hit rather than pursue a defence.
Vanessa Hutley, Microsoft's corporate attorney, said she couldn't comment on Millennium's motivation for coming to a settlement, but added Millennium "was offered an opportunity to prove it had full licences in place and it didn't respond".
She denied the proceedings took place as a result of one phone call. Evidence presented to Microsoft showed discrepancies between the number of registered users and "business records", indicating some unlicensed usage. An informant signed an affidavit for the Federal Court of Australia which formed the basis of the allegations, she said.
"Microsoft would not have filed the proceedings if it was not confident the information it had received was secure," Hutley said. "The company [Millennium Solutions] was offered the opportunity to conduct its own internal audit and it did not respond satisfactorily.
"That is why we filed proceedings and a mutual settlement was reached by both parties."
Mitchell said that being pursued by "the legal might of Microsoft" forced him into "a commercial settlement". To then be lambasted in a nationally distributed press release has got his back up.
"We never admitted to have knowingly used illegal software," Mitchell said. "What happened to us could happen to any other user.
"By consent, the court ordered that there be no order as to costs. Microsoft had to pay their own costs in this little action which should tell you something."
Hutley explained Microsoft uses litigation as part of its ongoing education and anti-piracy program which targets both end users and channel partners. Millennium Solutions is not a system reseller and does not load OEM copies of software onto systems, she said, and it fell into the end-user category. It is the third company in five weeks to feel the wrath of Microsoft's legal moves.
"Microsoft has an active campaign to raise awareness in relation to unlicensed software and copyright infringement to protect its valuable intellectual property," Hutley said. "This is not just a program to bring a series of litigation. It is part of a platform to raise awareness and educate people about the impact of unlicensed software use and piracy."
Hutley pointed to the most recent Business Software Alliance (BSA) global survey which identified a 52 per cent piracy rate in Australia.
"In retail dollars, that represents $US150 million per year in Australia," she said. "That represents huge losses to legitimate resellers and retail channel businesses who are competing against people selling unlicensed software.
"It also represents losses to the economy in terms of missed genuine sales and, most importantly, to the local software developers. Everyone is facing that competition from unlicensed users and that revenue is lost."
Meanwhile, Mitchell is still not convinced the action taken against him was all kosher.
"I can assure you that anybody walking into our company would not be able to find one piece of unlicensed software on our 45 PCs. We don't do that."

Elswyth Bassermann
Feb 15, 2015
Dear Gram,
I was just closing my stall outside the Upright Pig when a gang scuffle broke out of the tavern door and spilled onto the street. I truly hate the gangs here. Truly. Maybe the politicians like them as there might be both profit and power in it for them, yet those of us who need to make a living from civilians walking along the docks are terrifically inconvenienced by their distracting activities.
The leader of the Fish (Kern Knackk) tossed the leader of the Wharf Rats into my young friend, Klaus, who happens to be a Fish himself. The strapping dockhand laid out the opposing leader quite handily. When asked, the Fish leader bought us a round of the slightly less offensive beer at the Pig (slightly less offensive should be read to mean not quite as rancid or watered down as the White Horse ale – a very short step up, as it were). Apparently, people are going missing. One of the Wharf Rat members went missing and accused the Fish of it. The Fish haven't lost any members as of yet. The missing Wharf Rat is Rolf Haller, a dock hand. There's a reward for info on him. A few extra coins in my purse to keep the bones company wouldn't go amiss. I may decide to help.
In other business, some of the business leaders are also vanishing. This confuses matters of loyalty payments.
I also met a new soul to the docks. He's a dwarf named Mr. Bronssen. Interesting to have a dwarf around. He's a sturdy and vicious fighter and, unless he has a steady flow of ale, his patience is shorter than his stature. He's an interesting creature that deserves my attention. As I've never met one of his breed, I find him a curiosity. I've invited him to a reading tomorrow. I'd love to understand what makes him tick.
That jerk, Faas, that overturned my table last week was there, too. I can't say I'm happy to have any association with him. How can I trust a man that is so sensitive he can't mind his temper. Hot-heads make poor allies in intrigue.
On my way into the Horse, I chatted with Ute, one of the women who shares my dormitory room in the eaves of the tavern. She's the hurdy-gurdy player. Anyway, I asked her about missing people and, in particular, Rolf. She says Rolf is mean – animal kicking mean. They're offering 30 shillings for info. She suspects it's another gang at the root of it, but it's hard to say who with the Black Hood running extortion rings and taking over areas where there have been lots of disappearances. He's new to the area. He's either very powerful or a small player overextending his reach. Most disappearances were crime lords, so Rolf's disappearance doesn't fit the pattern. Curiouser and curiouser.
I'm tired from my day. I'll to bed early, though I doubt I'll sleep for a while. I want to juggle some of the new morsels of information I learned today and see if I can splice a few bits together and fit them into the bigger picture.
Love, E.

President Trump held a press conference that lasted approximately 90 minutes today in which he challenged the assembled media to report on his presidency accurately. CNN's Jake Tapper appeared to take offense at what Trump said about the media. "Everybody at home needs to ask themselves how would you react," said Tapper while fellow CNN personality Wolf Blitzer looked on, "if that were your boss coming in and giving a speech to the employees."
Tapper went on, "How would you react if that was somebody in your family that you were trying to have a conversation with? You would think this is very difficult to assess in a positive way." Continuing, Tapper said, "The person is not dealing with the world in which we live. He said things that weren't true." He labeled as "untrue" a statement that the president made in which he said that he had received the greatest number of Electoral College votes ever. Trump corrected him and said that he had been given that information.
Mediaite, a news site that is owned by Dan Abrams, wrote of the exchange: "The CNN anchor also hammered Trump for not taking ownership for repeating lies and falsehoods before finally ending by excoriating POTUS." The website quoted Tapper as saying, ""President Trump, if you're watching, you legitimately won the presidency."
"Now get to work and stop whining about it," concluded.
Wolf said he was "stunned" by the press conference.
Abrams is chief legal affairs anchor for ABC News and host of both 60 Days In and Live PD on the A&E cable network. He also worked as chief legal correspondent and analyst for NBC News, as an anchor general manager of MSNBC. His sister, Ronnie Abrams was confirmed as a federal judge in 2012 after her nomination by Barack Obama.
CNN labeled the press conference "an amazing moment in history."

To anyone not following the ins and outs of the election, the contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has all the trappings of a close-fought, competitive election.
Both candidates dominate the news media; both have held massive rallies and events; both are on the airwaves with ads on television and radio; and both are maneuvering on the ground in an effort to reach broad and diverse constituencies. Turn to CNN or MSNBC, and you'll see breathless coverage of each development in the race, reinforcing the sense that this a tight contest between two formidable campaigns—one horse hitting the quarter pole half a length ahead of the other.
But of course it's nothing like that. Hillary Clinton isn't just leading—she's dominant. And her odds of winning get stronger each day she holds that dominant position...

My Goals
Hi Guys!
Today we had to pick some goals for term 4, luckily I had achieved my goal from last term which was making my buddy talk on the 100 day celebration for the preps. My goal for this term is to make my handwriting a lot bigger and easier to read because next year at high school, I don't want my teachers to not be able to read my work! Do you have a goal to improve on?

I'm so excited about this!! During the summer the kids get about eight kajillion owies - give or take a couple - and of course they always want a band-aid. I love when I can get them for free, and I don't have to tell them "no, it won't help anyway" and feel like an ogre. =)
Just go HERE and print off a "$1 off ANY Nexcare bandages" coupon. Then take it to Target where the 8 ct. travel size ones are priced at .97 and get them for free!! It is a PDF file so you can print off as many as you want (the first time you access it - or access it later by saving the file).
thanks Hip2Save!
Remember though to be a kind couponer and don't clear the shelves!! It's really rude when someone takes them all for themself and everyone else misses out because of their selfishness. (I think I'll be posting more about that soon!)

In Today's Alcahol Awareness week blog Stephen tells us his experience of leaving prison and being met by a RAPt worker
"I came out of prison in January and met my RAPt worker at the gate. We decided that the RAPt worker would help me with my alcohol addiction and St Giles Trust would help me cope with my education and housing needs. When I first came out of prison I moved into a hostel. There was an old guy there and we would go to the pub. He would drink and I wouldn't, I wouldn't touch a drop. I tend not to socialise with people who do drink, it's easier for me to have a network of people that don't drink. I started going to an AA fellowship meeting when I was released. When I go to AA I meet people with similar situations to me, they can ask me 'how did you do that.' It's good to share our experience, it's very important."
The blog continues tomorrow, where Stephen will tell us about his hopes for the future. You can catch up on the blog by reading day one here, day two here and day three here

The calendar might read March and St. Patrick's Day might be just around the corner, but when New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute asks if you "Got Green?" they are actually taking about their super-flavored chile.
This month, the Chile Pepper Institute is launching its "Got Green?" event, featuring Biad's Reserve NuMex Heritage 6-4 and NuMex Heritage Big Jim green chile. The two varieties are bred to have five times the flavor compounds and aroma of similar chile grown today. Sales of each will help fund continued chile research at the university.
"The NuMex Heritage chiles are bred to be incredibly flavorful, not super-hot. The NuMex Heritage 6-4 is actually a mild pepper. The NuMex Heritage Big Jim is a medium-heat pepper," said Danise Coon, a senior research specialist at NMSU. "Biad Chili calls these peppers 'reserve,' because they hand-select each pod before sending them to be flame-roasted."
NMSU researchers first partnered with Biad Chili in 2009 to produce the Heritage line. Since then, a portion of all Heritage chile sales have helped to fund an endowed chair in chile research in NMSU's College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.
Both Heritage varieties are available at the Chile Pepper Institute in whole-pod packages or chopped in 13-ounce tubs. The products sell for $8 each, or $10 for two. The chiles cannot be shipped and must be purchased at the Chile Pepper Institute in Gerald Thomas Hall, Room 265. For more information, visit http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org or call 575-646-3028.

This is an old favourite of mine, I have run this race for the last 5 years and I wasn't going to miss it this year. Especially as I was race number 1 ;-)
As ever well organised, and lovely race, despite the hills. Managed a reasonable time which I was happy with and finished off 2008 nicely. Now only 16 more races to run and 8 months to do it in.

Number 23 - Norwich Half Marathon
I returned this year to Norfolk, for race number 23. It is quite a nice scenic flat course, except the up hill bit at 6 and 12 miles :-( As before well organised and was happy with my time. I did stop and walk for most of mile 11 to help a poor chap who was suffering dehydration, though managed to get going again once the marshals arrived.

Number 22 - St Neots Half Marathon
This was a lovely race, lots of open country side and fresh air, though the weather wasn't too good. It was really well organised, and I have known marshals to be so happy and enthusiastic it really helped. The crowd provided lots of support throughout the course, though mainly in the villages and the finish. Would do this race again.

Number 21 - Lancaster Half Marathon
Did enjoy this race, it was very scenic, taking you out of the city early on into the countryside. The only down side was the mile markers were useless and in the wrong place. They did tell you about this, but not very helpful. The marshals were always encouraging and helpful, and I was pleased with my time. The weather could have been a little better, as I got hail stoned on in the last 2 miles, but hey it was November.

Number 20 - Amsterdam Marathon
At last the race to take me to the half way point, and what better than the Amsterdam marathon. I was really blessed with lovely weather, not to hot but not raining. The course is very picturesque taking you through both the city of Amsterdam and out in to the countryside. It was really well organised with plenty of water stations and helpful toilets (which came in handy :-) ), and the marshals were all helpful and encouraging.
Disappointed with my time, felt strong, then got strange stomach pains in the third 10K, thankfully one of the pacers encouraged me to get running at 30K and I completed the final 10K in a reasonable time.

Number 19 - Royals Parks Half Marathon
This has to be my all time favourite race. It was just such a beautiful setting and everyone was so friendly and enthusiastic. I did hear that there were not enough toilets provided which is always a problem, but as its their first race I am sure they will learn from that. Apart from that everything ran like clock work, and I managed a reasonable time compared to my Reykjavik time so was really pleased. We were very lucky to have beautiful weather which did help, but running through some of London's most beautiful parks was very special.

Number 18 - Reykjavik Marathon
Well what can I say, the location was lovely, the people friendly and it was really well organised. Lots of support and encouragement and best of all lovely and flat. I did well in the first half, but slowed considerably in the second half due to driving wind and rain on the exposed peninsular. I also managed to fall over at about 3 miles which shock my confidence a little.
Overall a fab race and hope to do it again and improve on my time.

|Kauermann, Göran (2001): Edge Preserving Smoothing by Local Mixture Modelling. Sonderforschungsbereich 386, Discussion Paper 255
Smooth models became more and more popular over the last couple of years. Standard smoothing methods however can not cope with discontinuities in a function or its first derivative. In particular, this implies that structural changes in data may be hidden in smooth estimates. Recently, Chu, Glad, Godtliebsen & Marron (1998) suggest local M estimation as edge preserving smoother. The basic idea behind local M estimation is that observations beyond a jump are considered as outliers and down-weighted or neglected in the estimation. We pursue a different, but related idea here and treat observations beyond a jump as tracing from a different population which differs from the current one by a shift in the mean. This means we impose locally a mixture model where mixing takes place due to different mean values. For fitting we apply a local version of the EM algorithm. The advantage of our approach shows in its general formulation. In particular, it easily extends to non Gaussian data. The procedure is applied in two examples, the first concerning the analysis of structural changes in the duration of unemployment, the second focusing on disease mapping.
