I grew up on this granola recipe. I certainly didn't appreciate it then the way I do now! I don't make it as often as I like, but when I do it's such a treat.
Of course, growing up in a family the size of mine the recipe is in lbs (4 lbs of oats, 1/2 lb of coconut…you get the idea). So I pared it down for a perfect, one large cookie sheet recipe. Here you go.
MamaJan's Granola
Mix together:
4 1/2 c. Oats
1 c. Coconut
1 c. Sunflower seeds
1/2 c. Dry Milk Powder
1/4 c. Seseme seeds
3/4 c Wheat Germ
Bring to a Boil :
2/3 c Oil
1 c Honey
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Pour honey mixture over dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Spread on large greased cookie sheet covering bottom. Bake at 325 for 20 min stirring halfway through. Dump on newspaper to cool. Store in airtight container.
My favorite way to eat this since I was a little girl? With milk and a spoonful of peanut butter. YUM!

As you all no doubt know, my Official Favorite Band is Switchfoot.
Band member Tim Foreman dropped me an e-mail today and asked if I would be willing to post their new video here at the Burning Hearts Revolution.
"Of course, Tim," I replied.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Tim also said, "The most challenging and time-consuming portion of the video was the creating of the 'animated' television. To create this effect, we printed out each individual frame (24 frames per second -- that's a lot of frames!), and then hand-ripped each person from each frame, placing each frame sequentially after the other to re-create the action (think claymation with photos!). This technique has actually never been done before, and took a total of 8 days, with 10 to 20 people working around the clock."
So, without further ado:
P.S. Okay, okay, Tim didn't just write me. I happen to be in the fan club. Yes, it is true.
So if you want to see all of Tim's comments, or you want the code to imbed the video on your blog or MySpace, here's Tim's post.

Twinfinite's Endless Playlist: Katamari Damacy
[This post isn't anything critical in nature. It's intended to be an appreciation series where I talk about the video game music I enjoyed and still do. I'm hoping that with this feature today we could reminisce our first time the music found its way in our hearts, or if you've never listened to the music, to consider spending an afternoon with some headphones and Youtube to find some new music.]
If you read a list somewhere online, possibly finding it on Google after searching for "Best Video Game Soundtracks" or "Beep Boop Music" maybe; you might find several articles featuring one particular album: Katamari Damacy. I wouldn't know, I never found such a list, nor have I ever searched for Beep Boop Music.
Still, ask people whether or not they've played the PS2 classic Katamari Damacy by Japanese director Keita Takahashi. Chances are- well I wouldn't know the chances of your friends playing Katamari, they're your friends, not mine. But ask them if they remember the soundtrack (if they played the game) and almost certainly they'll say "yes." Then ask them if they consider the soundtrack from composer Yu Miyake to be one of the most memorable game soundtracks in video gaming and I can also guarantee the answer would probably be "yes."
How can it not? One listen to the opening moments with the memorable "Nana nananana na nana nananana~" opening to the fanfare with a chorus and the electronic beats to complete the intro track and I knew I was in love.
But why?
I'm not a music critic which is why I'm not reviewing the Katamari Damacy soundtrack. Any music review from me would would all probably read the same anyways. "Yeah, I really liked how they sang the lyric that made me feel really good inside, and then the guitarist did the thing…y'know, with the guitar?" It's really kind of sad actually. I'm joking to an extent, but I'm just not trained in music critique so it's usually either a "I enjoy listening to this," or "I'm unhappy to be listening to this" sort of deal.
So back to the Katamari soundtrack. I believe the first time I played the game was 4 years ago actually. Fairly recently considering I didn't have a Playstation 2 at the time of the game's initial release. The music began, the King of All Cosmos instilled in me a great fear of this magnanimous being, I just used the word "magnanimous" like I recently reviewed my vocabulary flash cards, and I remember failing quite hard initially at the game.
But the music is what I wanted to talk about and it was always, always fantastic. The mix of lounge jazz from tracks like Que Sera Sera with electronic tracks like Wanda Wanda were instantly catchy. Even when I was trying to navigate out of the most difficult Katamari situations, I would still find myself humming, singing-a-long with, enjoying whatever track was playing at the time.
Of course I believe the hands-down favorite of the album has got to be Lonely Rolling Star. I can imagine it's a pretty popular track with its catchy female Japanese singer, looping electronic beats that just bounced around your head, and I believe the level that accompanied the song was one of the best ones in the game too but maybe it was the best because of the music. I'm listening to it right now as I write this and I'm stopping periodically just to sing along to the chorus.
It's an enjoyable album all-around. Nothing harsh or even remotely disheartening. There are melancholic tracks sure, but they're never depressing. And I believe it's that appreciation of happier days is what the Katamari Damacy soundtrack managed to capture so perfectly. In tracks like Cherry Blossom Color Season where a chorus of children sings about the joys of youth, there is something inherently happy about the song even if the lyrics aren't decipherable immediately (to non-Japanese speakers).
Katamari Damacy became a sort of cult-hit because people found it for lack of a different word, weird. But really it was just a different game and more importantly something new and for the sheer joy its soundtrack brings, it deserves a place on the collective gaming playlist.

What feature of a shape allows it to tesselate?
I don't have a general answer for you, but that is a good question ://
If any combination of its interior angle can add up to 360 deg, then it can tesselate :)
I am not sure about this, but if this is wrong, this is close already.(I think...)
Someone please help modify my statement.

Informal Publications
The Disappearance of "The Job" - W. Hugh Chatfield I.S.P
A few years ago I found myself caught up in a 'downsizing' exercise. Within an hour I went from long term hi-tech company employee to unemployed individual wondering what to do next.
Downsized employees these days typically find themselves in an outplacement agency (one of the true growth industries of our time). During my time at outplacement I had time to research, think, and discuss with dozens of people in a similar situation. These essays and observations are part of what I learned and the impetus behind the incorporation of CyberSpace Industries.
The newspapers, journals, and research reports were filled with observations and predictions.
"what is disappearing is not just a certain number of jobs, or jobs in certain industries, or jobs in some parts of the country - or even jobs in America as a whole. What is disappearing is the very thing itself: the job"
William Bridges - Jobshift: How to prosper in a workplace without jobs
Many newspapers, journals, research papers gave out the bad news. By end of this decade, predictions are that the work force will be drastically different than today. Job security is already dead even for highly trained / educated individuals. Many of the people I met in outplacement were senior managers, engineers, company founders and executives. Hierarchical management structures are quickly dying. A model presented for the future is that a company's work force will be made up of:
•core employees - which continually change as new skills are required
•contract - long term contract employees
•fee for service
On the wall of the outplacement agency was a newspaper article talking about "home based businesses". A key problem was the isolation - the lack of networking that typically goes on in any reasonably sized organization. I didn't experience this, since at the time I was on Freenet and Compuserve and was quite at home networking on line. This was the start of the thinking about the technology that could be used to aid the contract/contingency employees.
Most articles on the subject took a company centered view, focussed on how to make a company run optimally. To the "unemployed' person, a more useful view is the person centred view and how the contract / contingency person can optimize their environment. Any person in the future may over his/her work life be alternately a core / contract / or contingency person. How will this group of people work? How could they collaborate, and form "virtual corporations" which could compete for contracts? How can this set of people empower themselves - to take charge of their own futures? Since an employer cannot supply job security, what mechanism will supply the job security?
Job security comes from within the individual.
However as Tom Peters has pointed out -
"You need to have an entrepreneurial spirit, definable skills, and an ability to articulate and market them, but that is exactly what the bulk of the population holed up inside bureaucratic organizations doesn't have, and why they are scared to death."
... and these are the bulk of the people who will make up the contract/contingency group.
I decided on several things:
•There are / will be technological solutions which can utilized to support the contract/contingency group.
•There was also a clear need to focus on the contract and contingency employees and how they would work in the future. (The corporations can and will take care of themselves)
•The terms in use such as "Home Based Business" or "self-employed" or "private consultant" didn't convey the nuance required for the future. I coined the term "microBusiness" to represent the corporate entity which the individuals in this group would belong to.
•Multiple microBusiness could dynamically form a Virtual Corporation (assuming the technological infrastructure (Cyberspace) was in place, at a reasonable price) to work on particular contracts, or even carry out research and development.
•The architecture of this Cyberspace would be critical to the overall success.
The literature contained much of what functions this Cyberspace had to support:
•Bringing people together
•Computer conferencing (asynchronous 24 hr a day conferences)
•E-Mail (ability to reach people worldwide by Fax/letter, multimedia mail)
•Personnel data base ( searchable - up-dateable dynamically by person)
•Idea data base (is the WWW not a richly interconnected set of information, ideas, and people?)
People working together
•groupware in the operating systems
•broadband communications to the home
•multimedia work areas ( a VT100 with a 1200 baud connection just isn't going to cut it)
Acquiring new skills
•just in time (JIT) training services
The JIT training is particularly interesting. Your skills today could be obsolete in 3-5 years time or less. JIT training is an idea currently being implemented today which could help with this problem.
You could make the point that you are never without skills - only your knowledge base associated with that skill has gone stale. You may have good programming skills but not know C++. You may have 20 years in data base technology, but have no experience with Microsoft Access. You understand about information systems but not know anything about document engineering and SGML.
The old 'corporate' way was to send you off on a 1 day to 2 week training course, long before you have to use the material on the job. All you had at the end of the course was your course notes and your memory. Maybe you never did get an opportunity to use the course you took.
The idea behind JIT training is that you can gain access to good packages of training material that can be delivered to your desktop, as you need it. You access it as you proceed with your contract. You can always go back and review the material since it is always online.
The astute reader might say that if all this technology is available, it is also available to people inside corporations, so maybe they will never join the ranks of the 'self employed'. Maybe!
Consider the following from the IEEE Spectrum 1994 - "Engineering Layoffs: Facts and Myths
•- Being at the cutting edge of technology makes an engineer desirable
•- Having many talents will set an engineer apart from the crowd
•- Skills learned in defense work can be easily converted to civilian work
•- Continuing education or re-education will keep an engineer employable
•- The salaries of full time engineers are falling
•- Some survival strategies may threaten a company's technical vitality
•- The demand for temporary engineers is booming and compensation is high
•- Some observers suggest the full-time job is disappearing
•- Today, more than technical skills are needed to find work
" Today's organization is rapidly being transformed from a structure built out of jobs into a field of 'work needing to be done'.
Most of that work takes the form of individual projects, such as the development of a particular product. So it is becoming increasingly common for people to be hired only for the duration of the project, and released when the project is completed.
Jobs are no longer socially adaptive to organizational needs, and so they are going the way of the dinosaur. In the "post-job world", workers, including white-collar professionals such as engineers, will survive only if they operate as if they were self-employed - even if they still happen to have a full-time position."

Types of Multi User System3
CPU Architecture4
Data Storage Devices5
Input / Output Devices5
Software Components5
Operating systems are the very basis of computer software programs. They exist in order for users to interact with the computer's hardware. An example would be MS- DOS. DOS however is a single user operating system which can only support input from one user at a time. So if more than one person needs to use a computer's resources, a different operating system is needed. Hence multi user operating systems.
These are operating systems which allow many users to share the resources of a processor at the same, for example UNIX, LINUX, or CICS.
They differ from network operating systems in that the latter are actually single user operating systems with, in the overall plan of the operating system, the only user being the system administrator and all other logins just being a program run by the administrator.
Since multi user systems share resources, such as the CPU, memory, storage and input/ output devices, as well as software applications and files, the operating system has to organise and control the access to these resources (called scheduling), the most common way of doing this being the Round Robin strategy where each process has a short but equal time slice. For this reason, multi user operating systems require a great deal of memory in order to work effectively.
A main feature of multi user systems is multi tasking. This is where the operating system provides the ability to run two or more programs at once. For example a user could be printing and typing at the same time. In actual fact, although the system appears to be running the tasks together the processor is rapidly switching...

Catholic employees at a Foxconn electronics factory in Shenzhen, China, have criticized a lack of church support for migrant workers following a string of suicides since January. Some migrant workers from the company, which produces the iPhone and other products for Apple, have set up their own online mutual support site in the wake of at least 13 suicides or attempted suicides at the firm. They were joined by Catholics working in other Shenzhen factories. Catholics at the firm have little contact with local Christians. "I am unfamiliar with the local environment and know few parishioners, as I sometimes have to work Sundays," said a person identified only as Chen, a Catholic layman who works for Foxconn. In the absence of the local church support, Chen and about 30 other Catholics set up the online forum. A priest identified only as Father Joseph, from the Catholic parish in Shenzhen, admitted his church needed to mobilize the faithful to care for migrant workers. "Our action has been slow, probably due to immaturity of our faith formation," he said. However, local Catholics do have a sense of social concern, he said.

The old Coleman brand water coolers
are so very cute, don't you think?
I added a memorable picture of my son
at our campsite. The bee magnets hold
it in place. I tied on a tag to finish off
the unique photo display.
With some cute little magnets,
the sky is the limit for repurposed

I can't tell you when exactly the change took place but it's safe to say that over the last 5 years it progressed to where I am today.
The persona of Joanna is truly just myself but in a different guise. This guise allows me to gesture and move and feel the way I want and the way that society frowns upon for a male. I allow my gestures to be more feminine and I alter my speech patterns and pitch to match. The freedom and relaxation it brings me takes me back to a simpler time when I didn't realize that what I was doing was not seen as normal or desirable.
I also think it's important to see the humour in what you are doing.
When I first started dressing up in public it was such a serious and dread-filled experience that I was not able to truly enjoy it. I was doing something I had to do but it was forbidden and frowned upon. I allowed those thoughts to dampen my positive feelings.
The guilt and shame can destroy you if you do not get rid of them.
Even as I continue to see this as an abnormality among many abnormalities in this world, your attitude around it makes all the difference to your quality of life. You need to spin it into something positive and constructive and I now see it more as a gift which has allowed me to grow as a person in ways I would not have if I did not have this condition.
Accepting who you are also settles the issue of transition. If you are happy simply dressing as a woman then that can be good enough and you need not go further. Unfortunately this is not an obvious conclusion when you are mired in the reflection process.
If you are a type I or II or on the Benjamin scale there is no confusion: you are a male who enjoys crossdressing and are sure about your identity.
If you are a type V or VI you are a woman.
Unfortunately for types III and IV, there is much reflection required and confusion can reign before coming to a final decision. This was the case for me.
My advice is to do nothing in haste and to spend many long hours reflecting on what you need to do to be whole and content as a human being.
You might just find that a few hours a week in a dress is all you need to be happy.

Ince was sent to the stands and did not appear for a press conference after the match, but his assistant Alex Rae explained the former England midfielder had sought out the female spectator and said sorry for the incident.
Goals from Neal Bishop and Ricardo Fuller earned league leaders Blackpool a 2-1 win.
Ince watched from the stand behind the dugout as the visitors held out for their victory, which came despite them having fullback Jack Robinson sent off in the second half.
Rae said: "Once we had an opportunity to score to make it 3-1 Paul threw a bottle on the ground and it bounced off the ground and into the crowd.
"The fourth official made a decision to send him to the stand so we just move on from it.
"We thought it was a bit harsh because it bounced through a barrier, but even still we're obviously not happy with it.
"To be fair the manager went over and apologised to the lady immediately as it actually hit her on the foot I think and she's accepted his apology."
It is unlikely Charlie Austin will score a more routine goal all season, but the impact of his 49th minute effort — a simple header from less than a yard out — was undiminished as Queens Park Rangers beat Birmingham City 1-0 at Loftus Road.
The forward had admitted to a growing frustration at his failure to score a first Championship goal following his £4 million summer move from Burnley.
Billy Davies still had an influence on a dramatic 3-2 win over Barnsley for Nottingham Forest, even though he was not in the dugout at the City Ground.
Darius Henderson came off the bench to head home an 85th-minute winner on a day when manager Davies sat out a one-match touchline ban. But deputy manager David Kelly said it had all been planned. "The substitutions were very productive, they worked really well – the gaffer is really big on making impact substitutions," he said.

Crunch's cooking blog .1
So I go down stairs cause I want a some food. But I haven't gone groceryshopping in a week. However I remember, after considering that box of meijer macaroni I've been putting off, that I have the makings for a burrito. (Meijer macaroni and cheese is not nearly as good as Kroger macaroni and cheese. Fear not this WILL be discussed at length in the future.)
So I head to the fridge, and bust out some tortillas, sour cream (that looking down I just realized I never used, so it will be ignored from here on out.) Shredded mild chedder cheese, Some beans and rice, ranch dressing and hot sauce. Also I remembered that I there was some turkey that was on my roommates shelf, but my other roommate said I could eat it. It was leftover from boston market.
I would like to clarify, that I am not endorsing or reviewing boston market. Therefore the turkey gets no adjectives at all. It was exactly as good or as bad as you would expect it to be.
Anyways so these are shitty tortillas, they're old and they always rip. So I grab 2, throw some cheese in between them. Spread evenly, emphasizing the edge. Then I toss some rice and beans. Not trying for shape at this point, just one big pile. I tear up some turkey toss it on top. (in retrospect I should've put the beans on top of the turkey. Beans have a higher moisture factor than turkey, and when going into the microwave you gotta let that moisture go to the turkey to keep it from drying the rest of the way out.
(side note. I just took another bite. I really should've remembered the sour cream. I think I'm going to go get some.)
So then I threw it in the microwave for 2:00. With one break to throw some more cheese on about 40 some seconds in.
Now a sidenote here. These are canned off brand black beans and white off brand boil in bag rice. So while they ended up being delicious, there might be room for experimentation. If you like spicy rice, feel free to try it out. Or if you're a refried person maybe get some of those. Although with the turkey, the blackbean moisture is good to have around.
Also note, that both have kept very well for several days, in tupper-ware.
So anyways, the quesadilla burrito wrap really helped out. Though my fingers are slightly greasier than normal (bring a paper towel) the burrito held together well. I was able to pull it tight, not afraid of it tearing and using a fork the whole time. Also the cheese really stopped the ends from drying out in the microwave.
Anyway, the chicken is good. It mixes surprisingly well with the hotsauce. But your own judge on the hotsauce, but if you drop it then you have to drop either the ranch or the sourcream or you won't get any flavor at all. In retrospect, I ended up not getting any sour cream, but I wish I had just thrown one small spoonful on top just for a bit of that flavor.
So not to toot my own horn. The burrito was fantastic. I've never really heard of a turkey burrito, but this one was pretty good.
So I think I'm going to consider this a recipie worth making again. I'm going to name it the Starcraft Burrito. BOTH because I was watching pro starcraft league at gomtv.net right before I made it. AND because when I put the white turkey on the blackbeans, it kinda looked like spaceships in space.
Though, I still think when you make it you should put the blackbeans ontop of the turkey. But maybe that'll look like the zerglings overwhelming some zealots…
Wait no . P-TOSS 4 EVAR!!!! WTF ZERGLOTS WTF!?!?
OH and PLEASE no lunchmeat turkey. So far all experiments into the mixing of lunchmeat and burritos has concluded the combination dangerous and not for the unprepared.
Crunch signing out.
p.s. don't forget to join the revolution.

It's strangely quite lovely. It reminds me of the forests in the movie Avatar. It's sort of dreamy. Almost like we're under water. Anywho, y'all seem interested in seeing how the garden is doing, so here ya go. I cannot wait for it to all fill in to truly appreciate the shapes and designs!

LONG BEACH >> More than 100 dogs from Los Angeles County shelters in Baldwin Park, Carson and Downey will be shipped to Idaho early this morning for adoption at "no-kill" shelters, organizers said.
The entire journey will be filmed for a documentary series called "Shelter Me" to be featured on PBS. Camera crews will video the dogs being prepared for the flight, the dogs coming out of the L.A.-area shelters, the dogs arriving in Idaho and their adoption.
The dogs will be flown out of Long Beach Airport by an organization called Wings of Rescue.
The shelters receiving the dogs are Kootenai Humane Society in Couer D'Alene, Idaho, and the Panhandle Animal Shelter in Sandpoint, Idaho. Some of the animals already have homes waiting, according to organizers.
Bark Avenue Foundation was responsible for organizing and funding this event. This was a collaborative effort between Bark Avenue Foundation, L.A. County shelter staff and volunteers, Wings of Rescue and Steve Latham of "Shelter Me."

On this place he successfully carries on general farming and dairying, and has a good herd of cattle which he is breeding from Shorthorns into Guernseys. A man of influence in his community, Mr. Wintrone has done considerable public service. For six years he was supervisor on the town board. In this capacity he looked well to the administration of town affairs, and was specially favorable to a more efficient road repairing system. For five years he was a valued member of the school board. He is an excellent type of the modern Wisconsin farmer. Enterprising in spirit, a real friend of every progressive movement, and ever willingly considering new ideas and improved methods, he is hard working and industrious, and represents everything that is best in farm life. He has taken stock in various local enterprises, including the New Richmond Packing Plant. Mr. Wintrone was married May 25, 1895 to Olia Brooten, the daughter of Andrew and Christie Brooten, the former of whom is dead, and the latter of whom is living on the home farm in Dallas Township, with her son, Ole.

A "Star Trek" fan isn't entitled to millions of dollars in damages for buying memorabilia that he says wasn't as out-of-this-world as it seemed, a court said Tuesday.
Ted Moustakis wasn't promised he was getting a one-of-a-kind plum when he paid $11,400 for a uniform for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" character Data at a 2006 auction, an appeals court said.
The court also said Moustakis is due at most a refund for two other purchases he says were fakes: a $6,000 poker visor supposedly worn by Data and a $6,600 table from the show's set.
Auction house Christie's and CBS Consumer Products, which oversees "Star Trek" merchandise, praised the ruling. Moustakis' lawyer didn't immediately return a telephone call.
The longtime Trekkie from Towaco, N.J., has said he was thrilled to get the items — until he showed the visor to the actor who played the android Data, Brent Spiner, at a 2007 fan convention.
Spiner told him the visor wasn't genuine, according to Moustakis' lawsuit. Moustakis said he later found the table also was inauthentic, and the uniform was one of several made for the program. Christie's had led him to believe it was unique, he said.
The state Supreme Court's Appellate Division said the auction catalog didn't represent the costume as one-of-a-kind, and even if the other items weren't as advertised, Moustakis isn't entitled to "the massive recovery he now demands" in his $7 million lawsuit.
Christie's has said it stood behind the authenticity of the auction, tied to the hit show's 40th anniversary.
"The sale was and remains a fantastic highlight in the memorabilia market," Christie's lawyer Sandra L. Cobden said Tuesday.

A lesson in writing simply. Also hoopoes
Things have moved on a little since you last caught me moaning about the horrors of taxes and January gloom. It's now February which is slightly less gloomy and I've progressed from editing one mega-chapter to editing a different mega-chapter. There are some days when only genuine fear of the General Editor keeps them from merging into the same thing in my mega-chapter-befuddled brain. I feel I may be rambling. Which is a not altogether inaccurate reflection of my current writing style. Anyway, there are some things I should tell you about the current mega-chapter:
1. The hoopoe Yes, it may surprise you to hear that this chapter in the field of Business History featured a hoopoe. This is what a hoopoe looks like in case you're wondering:
For reasons that are obscure even to myself, I accepted a dare from some of my colleagues to try to sneak a hoopoe past the amassed ranks of senior academic editors who hold the mega-chapter even closer to their hearts than I do. I succeeded for a while through the use of an extended although fairly strange metaphor about King Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, and a distant land that may or may not have been Equatorial Guinea. However we all eventually grew tired of the hoopoe and he had to go.
2. Simple. The hoopoe-hating senior academic editors managed somehow to persuade an eminent historian to comment in detail on the mega-chapter. No doubt this was the highlight of his working week. I'll spare you the full horror of the dissection and give you a generalizable snippet of advice that I gleaned from the experience: write more simply. The eminent historian made a large number of suggestions about changing complicated language (I try) to more simple language. Such as negatively affected to harmed, and provide an account to describe. There's some useful point there somewhere about writing, meaning, and confidence. If you know what it is maybe you could let me know in nice simple language.

Treasure has undoubtedly done it again, producing a game that offers irresistible action as well as long-term appeal.

Proposed changes to U.S. 50 in an effort to increase pedestrian safety have some business owners concerned their own businesses will be negatively impacted.
The City of Cañon City, Colorado Department of Transportation, the Wilson & Company consultant team and community representatives visited with the public during an open house Tuesday at City Hall to explain the project.
A community-member based committee has met regularly with members of council and representatives from the city and CDOT to talk about project goals and preferred alternatives. The committee will meet one more time to consider public feedback before presenting their final recommendation to the council May 1.
Scott Asher of Wilson & Company said the major goal of the project is to determine the best solution to get pedestrians across U.S. 50 safely, specifically between Third and Ninth streets.
The committee considered at-grade solutions, including crosswalks and street-level crossings, as well as grade-separated crossings, which could include overpasses and underpasses.
"The concept right now is to put in raised medians between the blocks, leave all the street access like it is today and put in three new mid-block crossings of U.S. 50 that would be controlled with either a yellow rapid flasher or a 'hawk signal,' which would be pedestrian activated to stop traffic," he said.
Options on the table include an underpass at Fourth Street or an overpass at Second Street. Asher said the committee does not recommend the underpass but did like the overpass.
"Right now, the recommendation is to move forward with the at-grade solution with the funding that's available and look at the longer term solution being the overpass," he said.
Funding for the study and design of the project is paid through a Transportation Alternative Program grant, and CDOT has provided about $2 million for the construction phase. Firm numbers haven't been finalized, but Asher said the money available through CDOT could fund the current at-grade improvements, which could start in spring or summer 2018.
Kim Smith, owner and operator of First Stitches Quilt Shop and Sewing Center at 212 S. Fourth St., served on the planning committee. She said if the city, the council or CDOT elect to move forward with an underpass, it would shut down Fourth Street, south of U.S. 50 and adversely impact her business.
"I am concerned for businesses," she said. "Businesses have to be a priority when they are looking at this because without the businesses, what's the point of getting people to stop in our town if there is no place for them to go."
Smith said she understands that sacrifices must be made in order to improve the city, but the success of businesses should be a No. 1 priority.
"Businesses are the heartbeat of the city," she said. "If you don't have the businesses, the city isn't going to function, they bring in tax revenue and people from out of town."
Alan Drake, co-owner and operator of all the local Kwik Stop convenience stores in Fremont County, also is concerned about a proposed raised median that would disallow left turns into Hank's Travel Plaza from motorists traveling west on U.S. 50.
"We are obviously in the convenience business, but this certainly isn't going to be convenient," he said. "Half of our traffic turns left off the highway."
He said although people would be encouraged to turn in on the side street just before the driveway, they likely won't.
Drake said business has decreased about 20 percent at the Kwik Stop at Dozier and Fremont Drive since Dozier was realigned and a roundabout was implemented in 2016.
Cañon City Chamber of Commerce Director Lisa Hyams, who also is a member of the U.S. 50 Pedestrian Crossing Project committee, said she has brought concerns about business access to the designers and committee members, such as minimizing the islands 10 to 12 feet on each end.
"Then we would impact the businesses much less than all the way from one end to the other," she said. "There is no reason to put one of the islands in at all, there is no crosswalk in that area; I recommend that one be removed."
She also recommended that Drake ask the city to realign an existing driveway to help with the left-turning traffic.
"Then you are still getting the crosswalk, we can still get the protection for people crossing, but we don't interfere with Kwik Stop's access," she said. "There are ways to accommodate almost anything, it's about the community working together to do what's best for the community."
Anyone wishing to give input on the project may email City Engineer Adam Lancaster at email@example.com by April 18. The proposed preferred alternative will be posted on the city's website at www.canoncity.org.

For quite a long time google has been experimenting on the user interface of the homepage.
Now, last week it launched "Voice search". I actually liked it. The google voice extension can be downloaded via. google official voice search link - http://www.google.com/insidesearch/voicesearch.html. Currently it is available for Chrome only. Just speak and the search will be made accordingly.
Even the color of the left navigation bar the serp's page has also been changed to grey. Well I am hoping some more changes in the interface, in terms of color combination and the style of the buttons.
Most of the changes are looking good though, and looks promising, but, can't say what would be final result or will google again stick to the basics.
Let's see what's behind the curtain next.

Because everyone else does it. Lol no it's a longish story, Actually no-one I know blogs to my knowledge & the majority of them don't even know what a blog is never mind that I have 4 of them. The reason it started is I'm a Sims addict! I used to read legacy stories (If you don't know what a legacy story is click here) & decided to start my own Sims story Confessions Of A Golddigger when my game crashed I tried to do a few legacy stories but could never get past Generation one so I stopped for awhile then I literally just stumbled across a fashion/lifestyle blog one one day & enjoyed it.

Disclaimer A
Oct. 8. 2011
Oct. 8. 2011
It's funny how we can get ourselves into these states of thinking that our momentary faults in character are abnormal and inhuman. When we think we're the only ones who are capable of yelling, snapping, whining, judging, criticizing, isolating, being jealous, etc. and we feel like a real ogre.
People are often quick to denigrate themselves when they have a character slip. Then, after that moment of denigration, we can sink into this haze of denial and shame.
I am always hardest on myself, and I'm not always a joy to live with or share space with. However, I'm reminded that I'm not the only one who is capable of regressing into undesirable behaviors and actions. I may even have a good reason to do so, trauma and bad past experiences, though it's no excuse.
Where's the middle ground in dealing with a character slip? In my experience many struggle with the imbalance of swinging to either side of the pendulum. One side is pointing the finger out in blame and victimizing ourselves, though it's out of a secret fear. It's a fear that we can't face a potential mistake that we may have made, a certain part that we had to play, which resulted in a not-so-great choice. We may fear that if we face our part in it, we would have to see ourselves as bad or solely the one at fault.
The other side is taking it all on, feeling like what we did was horrible, inhuman, and how could we possibly behave in such a manner and still be a good person. Those of us dealing with traumas, past abuses (especially childhood) and inner baggage especially are often swinging to either side of this pendulum. Or we're doing a bit of both simultaneously. This is subconscious.
Finding the middle can be rough when you don't have solid self-esteem, or a solid sense of self, and many of us don't. I'm just beginning to come out of that.
I keep trying to remind myself that I'm not perfect. Though something I may have said or done in a moment of pressure and/or conflict may have been undesirable, it doesn't mean that I am my mistake. It's only then that I can retain enough security to take responsibility for my mistake, make necessary amends, and maybe even set a warranted boundary (in a non-violent manner) on the other end of it.
When I'm in the midst of learning how to do that, and how to love and forgive myself, it's nice to hear that I'm not alone in my imperfections. It reminds me that I'm human. Lastly, this isn't to encourage anyone to let themselves off the hook nor to suggest that people should repent, either.
It's to encourage people to take responsibility, but understand and forgive themselves, too. Though we can't control how others will respond to us, we can do our best to make amends with the universe and ourselves. This is for whatever part we had to play in it, if and when needed, and even if it was as simple as allowing oneself to be a doormat. We can ask ourselves for forgiveness too.
I just think that the more this kind of response to one's own imperfections and mistakes occurs, the less likely they'll continue a pattern of negative behavior by way of blinding denial which can turn into things like anger, defensiveness and helplessness.
This is what can perpetuate a simple character slip into a full on, more chronic character defect and resulting cognitive distortion. It's by hanging onto it, not accepting and processing it, that we can stay sick. We can recover and manage our overall health and wellness by forgiving it, amending it, and letting it go. If we keep trying to love and forgive ourselves, the quality of our love in going out to others can be deeply strengthened!

Parents often ask me to suggest books their children should read. I found a site to help parents find books their kids might enjoy which can be read to meet their Accelerated Reader goals too. I have linked to their "Welcome" page. There are two ways to search for books here.
There are some linked PDF files on the Parent and Teacher pages so poke around a bit to find ways to help your kids enjoy reading more. One on the student and parents pages is a guide to the Accelerated Reader Bookfinder. On the Teacher and Librarian pages is a large file which includes the top 40 books being read by students in each grade from 1 to 12.
The site is available in Spanish also!

How To Hackers Can Hacked Your PC?
Social Engineering
In fact, social engineering is a type of art that hackers will show you very wisely. Continue to perform various tricks in front of you will try to gain your password or important information. Until today, this is the most popular attack method to hackers. Because, your information want to hack, you fooled a lot easier to achieve. They roll up in front of you any stories and will try to convince you, and you being a little more convincing they can easily become a victim of mind control.
First of all, hackers to hijack your PC, your friend's email account or social network account will be hacked. Generally, if an account to hack mostly many accounts can be hacked (Because many people still use the same password for all accounts). Now your friends from Facebook or e-mail you a link to download anything the messages may come. Now that the message came from your friend, so you would normally open the link by faith. And can be downloaded on your PC, Any malicious software. All the information on your PC can be easily stolen, and you may lose control of your PC.
Sometimes hackers posing as technical support agents who can massage you, or you can call on Skype. You may say, "I am from Microsoft, your PC has been found in a harmful virus and I'll help you to delete it." They might say you that, to open the event viewer from your computer management options, and you will ask, "What? Different error messages you see it? " (Here are the different messages can be displayed, for example, if the driver fails to install, Any software firewall will block, etc.) and now will begin to believe in your heart too. Then hacker says you will need to install a remote tool software. If you accidentally installed, then everything finished! Now they are, whenever will access to your PC, they can do what, but I do not know!
Just call it a fake, or massage it, your PC can be hijacked, it is not. The more you believe whom or give to using your PC, he may have to install any software on your PC to access and can create backdoors. So, never your friend, do not use the Administrator account from the PC. As always open your PC to a normal user account. Not just a friend, you too, do not use the Administrator account. You also can not install any software on the irresponsible. There are much malicious software wants to work with Admin permissions, in this case, if you use a normal account, that software will not work properly. Another thing to keep in mind, Microsoft will not call you never personally.
Browser Weakness Flash and Java
Today the modern browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome itself is protected too. Google Chrome or other browsers tabs open on the websites of their own sandbox environment. Sandbox Means, easy to understand the language in your house is a box filled with sand. If a box of sand, like the box, will protect the house from sandy, likewise, if a website malicious content, it is only confined to your browser, it does not reach the other of your PC. But Java plugins, came out of the sandbox it works, so it's really a matter of being worried. If your browser does not block these plugins, if affected by any malicious Java or Flash code sites can infect your whole PC. And easily from your PC, maybe start stolen your information.
However, the good news is that these problems can be easily removed
- Always use the latest version of the browser.
- And always stay updated to keep.
- Automatically Java or flash play turn off.
- If necessary, please uninstall Java plugin from the PC.
Honestly, any competent websites, now does not use Java (remember Java and Javascript are completely different matter). I will post a separate Java plugin security issues, there are all the issues that will try to catch up.
Port Scanning
Any application of data for the exchange over the network, there is a need to open the port. Sometimes require specific ports (eg. web servers require port 80) and at other times for different purposes, different ports are open. The unused ports are closed by default. Now, if you want to make your home PC into a web server, then some router settings will change, port 80 to be open for incoming traffic.
There are some applications who use every time is open a new port. Now on your PC open port means that hackers scan any port on your PC and will be able to take control of the open service. Hackers can easily understand any software and which version of the software you are using. After that hackers will check the database and the software version you use there is any weakness. If it finds any weaknesses, by capitalizing on him, he will move ahead.
Your network, there are which ports are open, to check this online tool you can check. From public Wi-Fi to connect must be avoided. Because those network anyone can scan port. If the hacker finds a weakness anywhere in your service, then all of your security and privacy could be violated.

History of Long Beach
Modern history of long beach begins with a Spanish land grant in 1784. Manuel Nieto started a rancho which quickly sprawled and at one point the area was divided into the Rancho Los Cerritos and the Rancho Los Alamitos. In 1866, Rancho Los Cerritos was sold to Lewellyn Bixby, whose family soon became prominent ranchers and developers of Long Beach. A new town began to emerge in the 1882, founded by William Willmore. It was initially going to be called Willmore City but as its founder failed to create a new farming community, which was his original intention, he was bought out of the land and left town. The community was named Long Beach.
Long Beach was in the center of a competition between Southern Pacific Railroad and the young Santa Fe Railroad, which attracted a lot of visitors and caused a real estate boom in 1885.
The City of Long Beach was officially incorporated in 1897. In the first decade of the 20th century Long Beach was among the fastest-growing cities in the USA. The Port of Long Beach was established in 1911 and ten years later oil was discovered on Signal Hill.
In 1933, Long beach was hit by a devastating earthquake, after which Downtown Long Beach was reconstructed mainly in Art Deco style. Before the World War II, Long Beach had a sizeable Japanese-American population, However, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, most of them were sent to internment camps across California and after the war many of them moved elsewhere and never came back to the city.
After the war, Long Beach continued to grow both as a seaside resort and as a major maritime and oil center. The luxury cruise liner "Queen Mary" was purchased in 1967 and permanently docked in Long Beach harbor, where it continues to be a major tourist attraction. Aquarium of the Pacific, another notable tourist attraction, opened in 1998.

Long beach occupies an area of 51,473 square miles. It completely surrounds the city of Signal Hill.
The climate in Long Beach is Mediterranean, with strong influences of semi-arid climate. The weather is mild throughout the year and the humidity rarely coincides with heat, which makes heat waves more tolerable. In the summer, the city is often covered in low clouds and fog. Rainfall occurs mostly during winter months.
Long beach suffers some of the worst air pollution in Southern California, which is probably because of the proximity of the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well as the South Bay oil refineries.
Population of Long Beach
According to the U.S. Census, in 2010 Long Beach had a population of 462,257. The racial makeup in the city was 40.8% Hispanics or Latinos of any race, 29.4% non-Hispanic Whites, 13.5% African American, 12.9% Asian, 1.1% Pacific Islander, 0.7% Native American, 20.3% some other race and 5.3% two or more races.
Until the 1950s, Long Beach was a predominantly white city and the majority of the population was European-Americans. Today, the situation is quite different and in 2000 USA Today ranked Long Beach as the most ethnically diverse large city in the USA. It has a large Pacific Islander population and also a significant American Indian population.
Cambodian population in Long Island is the largest one in the USA and the second-largest outside of Asia (after Paris).
In 2000, the median household income was $37,270 and the per capita income was $19,040.
The economy in Long Beach is based mostly on the maritime industries and activities related to the Port of Long Beach, as well as on oil and oil-related industries and tourism.

Tourist Attractions and Culture
The historic Queen Mary ship and the Aquarium of the Pacific are the major tourist attractions in Long Beach. Recreation Park, El Dorado Nature Center, Long Beach GreenBelt, Rancho Los Alamitos and Rancho Los Cerritos also attract many visitors.

A mother is on a mission to raise £70,000 to send her sick daughter to America for surgery that could help her walk for the first time.
Little Mae Louisa Lilly Fox, three, was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy - the most severe form of the condition- when she was a year old.
The condition has left the youngster unable to walk by herself but after researching pioneering surgery available in Missouri, mum Amy and dad Matthew are desperately trying to raise the funds to give their daughter a new start.
Mae has already been accepted for the operation that involves carefully cutting the nerve fibres in her spine to improve her movement, but now the family need the funds to pay for it.
Mum Amy, 28, of Birch Road, Cantley, who also has sons eight-year-old Dylan and four-year-old Oliver said: "The success rate of the surgeon in America is 100 per cent and he has been performing the operation for 25 years. I read about another little girl who had the same condition as Mae and after the surgery was walking around. I couldn't believe it.
"Mae is such a determined little girl and she has amazed us with her progress. We didn't think she'd ever be able to talk but she has started to say mummy and dadda.
"But however hard she tries she can't stand or walk on her own. She sees her brother running around and she tries to copy them but she just can't.
"She is such a lovely little girl, always smiling. Her nan says her smile lights up the room.
"This surgery would give Mae and new start in life. Instead of living life on her knees she would have a new form of independence.
"For her to be able to walk into our bedroom by herself in a morning is something I would've never though possible but this surgery can help her do this.
"She deserves this chance and I am hoping to drum up as much support as we can." Visit Hope4Mae Just Giving Page Follow on Twitter @hope4mae or search Hope4Mae on Facebook
