Chew on the Obama Campaign's Official Sales Pitch
As served up by the president's longtime strategist David Alrod. The annotated (that's us in the red type) GQ+A
David Alrod's office in the Obama 2012 campaign's Chicago headquarters is a shrine to the Obama 2008 campaign. The walls are festooned with mementos from that effort: the Chicago Tribune front page from post-nomination morning, a photo of Alrod and Bruce Springsteen on the campaign trail. The keepsakes were hung in nostalgic tribute, but now they cast a shadow. Whereas Obama's run for the White House four years ago had the buoyant tone of a crusade, his race for a second term has been about as romantic as the Battle of Verdun: a slogging fight with Mitt Romney over a draining pool of persuadable voters. This can't be the campaign that Alrod wanted to run. Especially considering that this is surely the final race of the 57-year-old political consultant's storied career. And yet Alrod insists that he's just as juiced about Obama today as he was four years ago. His challenge is getting the rest of America to feel the same. In August, during a low moment in the campaign—Obama and Romney trading peevish jokes about dogs on car roofs and birth certificates—Alrod explained why he's still carrying the torch.
People who are friendly with you say that they've never seen you this frustrated during a campaign.
I've got to tell you, anybody who says they know me and says that doesn't know me. One of them was MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. I am probably calmer in this campaign than I've been in any other big campaign I've been involved in. I'm calm for a variety of reasons, but one is that I believe deeply in Obama and I believe deeply in the wisdom of people in this country. And if external events are such that we're not successful, then so be it. But I'm enjoying every single day of this race, because I believe in what I'm doing, and it's the last one I'm going to do.
Is it true, as lots of political observers have remarked, that this is the most negative campaign ever? Or is it just more negative than 2008?
Listen, if you go back in American history, when Andrew Jackson was running against John Quincy Adams, the Adams people put out a leaflet [called] An Extract from the Catalogue of General Jackson's Juvenile Indiscretions, between the Age of Twenty-Three and Sixty. The pamphlet, which was circulated by Jackson's political enemies during the 1828 presidential election, listed fourteen incidents in which Jackson "killed, slashed, and clawed various American citizens." What's different is we live in a media environment where, minute to minute, everything gets blown out and there's very little filter. [But] one thing that you learn when you've been doing this for a long time is that there are numerous moments that create this frenzy, and everyone talks about them as if they're definitional, and very few of them end up being that at all. And that's not just true of small things. It's true of big things. When I was in the White House, I remember the discussion of the BP oil spill as Obama's Katrina. This was going to define his presidency. And how many people are talking about it now? He handled it well, and you don't hear it discussed. That was a meaningful event. It just turned out not to be meaningful in the way the political community thought it would be.
Still, four years ago you had "Hope" and "Change." Now Joe Biden is out there saying, "Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive." President Obama cracked a joke about Romney's dog. We didn't see this kind of stuff in 2008. Why the different tone?
You know, I don't want to challenge the premise, but I think I will.
I was with the president in Iowa when he made that joke, and it was a very innocent joke, and the crowd reacted as such. When I talk to the president, he speaks to the same aspirations that I've heard him speak to for the twenty years I've known him. And it has at its core the issue of how we build a future in which people can have confidence that they can get ahead, their kids can get ahead, that responsibility is rewarded. I think one of the virtues that he brings to this is consistent principles. They haven't been fungible. They don't change according to the latest poll. I think it's one of the things that distinguishes him, frankly, from his opponent.
Let's talk about your opponent. You have echoed Jon Huntsman, who called Romney a "perfectly lubricated weather vane," but you have also played up Romney's description of himself as "severely conservative." Isn't that a contradiction?
No, I think he has made his choice. He has thrown in fully with the most strident voices in his party. That was ratified by his choice of Paul Ryan, who's a genial fellow but has a very harsh ideology. So I do believe that [Romney] has been mercurial, but it's very clear that he has now completely merged with the Republican House. There isn't really an issue that I can think of during the course of this campaign where he's been willing to take on the base of his own party. Neither can we: On issue after issue, from abortion to health care, Romney has been careful not to get crosswise with his base, even if it has meant reversing some of his past positions. Obama hasn't exactly been a profile of courage in this campaign, either, though as president he has undeniably taken positions—on Afghanistan, the public option, civil liberties—that angered liberals.
In 2008 it seemed as if you had a baseline of respect for John McCain. You wanted to beat him, but you respected him. It doesn't seem as if you feel that way about Romney.
Well, I certainly have respect for him as a bright person. I certainly respect the degree of his ambition, which I think is prodigious. But you know, John McCain was someone who had served the country honorably in many different ways, and that was something that you had to respect. Although sometimes even Obama's respect came in vaguely disrespectful forms, such as his none-too-subtle reminder of his opponent's advanced age: "I respect John McCain for his half century of service to this country." So without impugning Governor Romney, I think McCain's profile was different. And the thing that I admire about McCain is that he was willing to take on his party on some key issues, and I haven't seen that in Governor Romney.
Are you saying he's unprincipled?
I think there are things that he believes deeply. I think he believes deeply that if people like him do well, the country will do well—that if the investor class does well, then everybody will do well. We want a healthy investor class, but we've tried this experiment, and that doesn't work.
You've spoken about the enormous impact that the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision will have on American democracy. But at least in terms of this campaign, is there a chance that all of these super-PAC ads will just get lost in the shuffle?
We don't know! Honestly, this is uncharted waters. The barrage of advertising is really in a small number of states, eight to ten, that by the time this is done will have experienced perhaps a billion dollars of advertising. And there is a question of saturation—how much is so much that people are just inured? Peter Hart, the pollster, said, "Never before will so much money be spent by so many to persuade so few."
Obama has said his biggest mistake of his first two years in office was thinking that he just had to get the policy right and that he failed to tell a story to the American people to bring them together. This was a strength in the 2008 campaign, and you have described your own role as being "the keeper of the message." So what went wrong?
Listen, when we arrived at the White House, we essentially were an economic triage unit. Our focus every single day was how to stop what was a free fall. So we were very focused on the task at hand. What he has said, and I agree with it, is we had to do so much so quickly, that in terms of our communications, we didn't have a lot of opportunity to put it in perspective. I think that's a fair commentary.
You've been observing Obama closely for twenty years, ever since Bettylu Saltzman introduced him to you as the guy who would be the first black president. Is he different now from the man you met then?
He has a lot of very good and salient qualities, but the one that I admire the most is his consistency. The values that he expressed to me as a younger man and now as president have been very consistent. Alrod actually rebuffed Obama's entreaties to work on his campaigns until 2004, when Obama ran for the Senate—and only ten after initially advising Obama to set his sights on running for Chicago mayor several years down the road. I never once walked into a room at the White House or in our campaigns and wondered who I was going to see that day. So what's impressive to me isn't how much he's changed. It's that in the really important ways, he hasn't.
So what do you say to the people who are disappointed—whether it's the people in the GOP ads or Democrats I know who say, "We expected this to be different"?
I understand that, but I would urge them to think about what has been accomplished. You know, I traveled all over the country with him when he talked about the need to end the war in Iraq, and he ended the war in Iraq. He also said he was going to focus attention on Al Qaeda, the people who actually attacked us, and he did do that. He said he was going to address this generations-long challenge on health care, and he did, at some personal cost. He understood the politics were tough, and he went ahead because he knew it was important for the country. I'd point them to the ending of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy or putting two splendid women on the United States Supreme Court or the battle that he waged for financial reform. There's plenty for those who were committed to him in 2008 to be proud of.
Who are you more optimistic about: Obama or Derrick Rose?
[laughs] Well, I feel like Obama has his legs under him right now.
The first term was not an ACL blowout?
No, no, I think he's at the top of his game. One of the things that marks a great athlete, and also a great leader, is the ability to respond to challenges well and to keep calm and focus at times of adversity. I've seen that quality in Obama. He's the classic guy who wants to take the last shot. He doesn't mind having the game in his hands. Just like Derrick Rose. So I expect to see D-Rose back, and I expect to see President Obama there cheering him on.

Light and darkness, bliss and sorrow, joy and pain — the very concepts of duality which have been ingrained in us since early childhood, and reinforced through years of domestication.
We are taught that one is favorable, while the other is portrayed negatively and therefore seen as inferior. As humans, we desire to be in line with the favorable — we attempt to only associate ourselves only with those essences painted with a brighter hue, and mask the facets of ourselves which are not viewed favorably by society. In doing so, we create duality not only in society, but also within ourselves. Instead of embracing ourselves as a whole beings encompassing the entirety of creation, we project an image of what we think will make us feel secure and accepted.
Let us consider this darkness (or whatever you choose to term it) — and embrace it as an intrinsic part of creation. What if our pain was meant merely to polish us? The darkness within ourselves may very well be what makes our light shine with a brighter gleam — like stars scattered across the vast dark sky.
The star does not fear the void, or question it's necessity. It accepts it as a back-drop for it's luminance.
I am not suggesting that we focus on the darker facets of our lives, or give them power. Rather, I am expressing that a certain reverence should be given to the dark bits of our existence which have propelled us to the state of our current awareness. To love ourselves fully, we must embrace our whole selves… even the bad days.
Transcending beyond this duality by loving our light and our darkness… until all becomes love. We begin to see a bit of ourselves in everything and everyone we encounter. We celebrate the bliss and beauty, or empathize with the pain. We begin to love others… then come to the realization that there are no others… there is no longer a concept of US and THEM… no room for judgment. We are a cohesive existence. And every hue on the spectrum is of equal majesty.

Thermodynamic limits far from equilibrium.
Jordan Horowitz, Physics of Living Systems – Physics Department, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Tuesday, January 16, 2018
340 West Hall Map
Thermodynamics is a remarkably successful theoretical framework, with wide ranging applications across the natural sciences. Unfortunately, thermodynamics is limited to equilibrium or near-equilibrium situations, whereas most of the natural world, especially life, operates very far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Without a robust nonequilibrium thermodynamics, we cannot address a whole host of pressing research questions regarding the energetic requirements to operate outside of equilibrium, like the energetic cost to form a pattern, replicate an organism, or sense an environment, to name a few. Cutting-edge research in nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics is beginning to shed light on these questions. In this talk, I will present two such recent predictions. The first is a novel linear-response-like bound that quantifies how dissipation shapes fluctuations far from equilibrium. Besides its intrinsic allure as a universal relation, I will discuss how it can be used to probe the energetic efficiency of molecular motors, offer energetic constraints on chemical clocks, and bound the dissipation in complex materials, both biological and synthetic, allowing us to gain insight into the fundamental energetic requirements to operate out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The second is an extended second law of thermodynamics with information that quantifies the precise energetic costs to process information, which I will apply to the energetic requirements of sensory adaptation in E. coli.

From its first production, Serjeant Musgrave's Dance has been controversial. Reviewers of the initial British productions found flaws with the play's structure. Hilary Spurling of the Spectator contended: "There is no conflict. I defy anyone to explain the plot, except perhaps as a series of expedients to stave off the grand climax until the last act..."
Only a few critics favorably assessed Arden's play. Alan Brien asserted that "I have never seen a play which created its own mad, obsessed, other-world so completely as Serjeant Musgrave's Dance."
American critics offered mixed reviews of the drama. Stanley Kauffmann of The New York Times maintained, "Serjeant Musgrave's Dance ... has been hailed as the best postwar English play and has been derogated as murky. To me, there seems to be good argument on both sides."
An anonymous critic in Newsweek asserted: "There is no single 'point' to Musgrave. Read...

The product tastes good, but the new "pop top" sucks. The old style bottle cap was much better. I've just tried opening a new style "pop top" and followed exact instructions ("pull out then up") on the tab, only to find the tab popping off but the cap still stuck firmly onto the bottle. Bottom line is if Bundaberg don't go back to the old style bottle cap (and I prefer the old style bottle too, btw), then I'll stop buying their products...and that goes for ginger beer, lemon/lime/bitters, etc, etc. There is lots of competion and the products are just as good...but at least you can open the damn bottles!

I kind of like the pop when you pull up
I find no issues
Pull it out and up or in then up

World Surf League Gold Coast
Starting today from 14th-25th of March 2017 is a world surf league in Snapper Rock, Gold Coast. Sponsored by Quiksilver, Roxy and Jeep. On the first day of my attempt to watch, the water is not swell enough to excite the surfers on the waves. For 10 days of events perhaps there might be a big swell coming later this week from Pacific. All are hoping for the best waves to come to anticipate the occurrence. So guys let us go out and join the party.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer
Most men love watches. So do I but myself can't afford to buy this luxurious watch like Tag Heuer. This richly appealing watch is one of the most saleable watches in the market. The Tag Heuer Aquaracer has a price tag of A$3300. It is a calibre 5 automatic watch coated with ceramic bezel. Also, an anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. I believed only diamond can scratch the case. Further, the strap is made of fine-brushed and polished "H-shaped" steel bracelet.

Drug Smuggling Detected and Life Saved by Body Scanner, Says Hum. Co. Sheriff's Office
This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On Saturday, October 29, 2016 an inmate was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on a local warrant. Due to the inmate's prior history of smuggling drugs into the facility, the on duty Supervisor advised his staff to run the inmate through the Body Scanner.
The scan of the inmate revealed a suspicious object in a body cavity. Staff isolated the inmate and had the inmate seen by medical staff.
The inmate began showing signs of deteriorating health such as high blood pressure, elevated pulse, and profuse sweating. An ambulance was called Code-3 and the inmate was transported, under guard, to a local hospital for treatment.
Information from the deputy that accompanied the inmate to the hospital was that the inmate became non-responsive and required CPR. Hospital staff were able to
resituate[resuscitate] the inmate and get them in stable condition.
The inmate received medical treatment at the hospital and returned to the Correctional Facility on November 1, 2016. If not for the decision making of correctional staff and the use of the Body Scanner this situation may have had a very dire outcome for the inmate.

If I enabled Google Location Services however, Google Maps would find my approximate location (within a big blue circle) but sometimes it could be quite far off. However, if I disable "Fast boot" (menu, settings, applications) and restart the phone, Standalong GPS services is spot on within a few seconds with Google Maps. There is subtext under Fast boot that says "Turn off to use some Market apps" so apparently that applies to Google Maps. Now if HTC can just fix the compass issue.

The war against drug cartels rages on in Mexico, and it has the full attention of the Obama administration. The conflict also has the potential to redefine for the better what has traditionally been a complicated and rocky marriage between the United States and its southern neighbor. It's not often that we see the president of the United States and three Cabinet secretaries travel to Mexico over the course of a few weeks to show ... [full story]

Conventional wisdom suggests that President Obama has too much on his agenda right now to even think about comprehensive immigration reform, let alone propose a plan to make it happen. In fact, there are many smart political analysts who say they wouldn't be surprised if Obama puts off immigration reform until his second term, if there is one. Well, don't look now but it seems Obama is thinking about immigration reform — and talking about ... [full story]

Public outrage at AIG's eye-popping bonuses at taxpayer expense is no surprise. We don't like it, either. We did, however, expect the response from Congress and the White House to be at least lawful. Instead, House members who should not have been surprised rushed to pass a new law of suspect constitutionality, all to undo a dozen lines in the month-old, 11,000-page stimulus bill that help us more in the bill than out. Maybe the ... [full story]

America's system for guaranteeing the safety of its food supply clearly is in need of strengthening. In the past year, we have seen a 17-state outbreak of salmonella that sickened 1,300 people, and contaminated peanut butter products that sickened more than 700 people. Public health experts estimate that each year about 76 million Americans are sickened by contaminated food, and about 5,000 die. The question now is, what should be done about it? Last week, ...

Banks levy about $17.5 billion each year in fees for overdrawn accounts, whether by bounced check, debit card purchase, cash withdrawal from an ATM or electronic payments of bills. That's chump change compared to the hundreds of billions of dollars banks have received from various federal bailout programs. But both are a product of greed run amok. Bank customers are abused by fee structures that are as dishonorable as the AIG bonuses. But that may be about ... [full story]

Tommy Davis
January 17, 1977 – The Kansas City Royals release designated hitter Tommy Davis, ending his 17-year Major League career. A New York prep star in 1956, Davis was courted by the Yankees and Dodgers and he signed with Brooklyn after a phone call from Jackie Robinson. Davis made his MLB debut with Los Angeles in 1959 and he won consecutive batting titles in 1962 (.346) and 1963 (.326). He also holds the L.A. single-season mark for most hits (230) and RBI (153), both set in 1962.
Dodgers vs. Angels
January 16, 1996 – The MLB executive council approves interleague play, beginning with the 1997 season, opening the door for such regional matchups like the Yankees and Mets in New York; the White Sox and Cubs in Chicago; and the Dodgers and Angels in Southern California. The Los Angeles Angels joined the American League in 1961 and spent their inaugural season at the former minor league ballpark of the Pacific Coast League L.A. Angels, Wrigley Field. The Angels played at Dodger Stadium from 1962-65, but called the ballpark "Chavez Ravine" on its ticket stock and publications. The first spring game between the Dodgers and Angels was held in Palm Springs in 1962 and the teams began playing exhibition series at Dodger Stadium beginning in 1963.
Ebbets Field Swansong
January 15, 1957 – The Brooklyn Dodgers extend their five-year lease on Ebbets Field by signing a new three-year lease with real estate developer Marvin Kratter, who bought the field in 1953. But the lease didn't keep the Dodgers in town. After acquiring the territorial rights to the Southern California area from Chicago Cubs owner Phil Wrigley, who also owned the Pacific Coast League's Los Angeles Angels and its Wrigley Field ballpark, the Brooklyn franchise relocated to the West Coast after the 1957 season. Instead of playing at the 22,000-seat Wrigley Field, the Dodgers moved into a larger temporary home – the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Early Free Agents
Former Dodger teammates Derrel Thomas (1951) and Terry Forster (1952) were born on this date. Forster and Thomas were among the early veterans signed from other organizations at the dawn of the free-agency era, each signing a five-year contract with the Dodgers. Forster (1978-82) was a relief pitcher who with L.A. went 11-13 in 150 games with 27 saves. Thomas (1979-83) played every position except pitcher with the Dodgers and in 522 games compiled a .257 batting average with 12 home runs, 100 RBI and 43 stolen bases.
Rick Monday Trade
January 11, 1977 – The Dodgers acquire outfielder Rick Monday and pitcher Mike Garman in a five-player deal with the Chicago Cubs. L.A. sent outfielder Bill Buckner and infielder Ivan DeJesus to the Cubs. Monday already was a hero in Los Angeles for saving the American flag from burning during a Dodgers-Cubs game on 4/25/76. Monday, who attended Santa Monica High School and Arizona State University, was the first player selected in the inaugural amateur draft in 1965 (picked by Athletics). Monday would play on three Dodger pennant-winners, including the 1981 World Champions. Monday joined the Dodger broadcasting booth in 1993.
Hall Welcomes Drysdale
The Toronto Giants?
January 9, 1976 – The San Francisco Giants announce the franchise has been sold to a group of investors in Toronto for $13.3 million. San Francisco mayor George Moscone obtains a preliminary injunction to prevent the impending move and behind the scenes the Dodgers and other MLB owners discuss how to keep the Giants in San Francisco. The team eventually is purchased by real estate developer Bob Lurie and a group of investors for $8 million on March 2, 1976. The American League later awarded expansion teams to Toronto and Seattle. In October 1992, Lurie announced he was going to sell the Giants to a group in St. Petersburg, FL, but the N.L. nixed the deal and Lurie sold the Giants to S.F. investors, preserving a Dodgers-Giants geographical rivalry dating back to the 1880s.
Hoyt Wilhelm
January 7, 1985 – Knuckleball pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Wilhelm broke into the Majors with the New York Giants in 1952 and he appeared in a then-record 1,070 games. He finished his career with the Dodgers (1971-72), joining Los Angeles two weeks shy of his 49th birthday. The eight-time All-Star posted a lifetime 143-122 record and 2.52 ERA. In the Billy Crystal movie "61", Wilhelm's character is portrayed by fellow knuckleball pitcher Tom Candiotti.
Dodger Plane
January 4, 1957 – The Dodgers become the first team to own their own aircraft when the team buys a 44-passenger two-engine airplane for $775,000. Walter O'Malley added to the order of Eastern Air Lines to purchase the plane directly the Convair factory, with the assistance of his friend, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, president of Eastern Airlines. Eastern had ordered 20 planes from the Convair factory in San Diego. The Dodger plane was equipped with automatic pilot, the only difference from the other 20 planes, along with "Brooklyn Dodgers" in script on the side. The Dodgers took delivery of the plane in March 1957.
Frenchy's Mustache
On this date in 1910, future Dodger outfielder Stanley "Frenchy" Bordagaray was born in Coalinga, CA. Bordagaray was best known for arriving at the team's 1936 spring training camp with a mustache, which he grew for a bit role in the film "The Prisoner of Shark Island." Ballplayers at the time were expected to be clean shaven and no player since 1914 had worn a mustache. Brooklyn sportswriters encouraged Bordagaray to grow out the mustache and goatee, but manager Casey Stengel months later made the player shave. Stengel told Bordagaray, "If anyone's going to be a clown on this team, it's going to be me." Mustaches were not seen in the Majors again until the early 1970s when Oakland Athletics owner Charlie Finley paid his players to grow facial hair. Finley hosted a "mustache day" at the Oakland ballpark and he invited Bordagaray to serve as master of ceremonies. Bordagaray passed away in Ventura in 2000 at the age of 90. He compiled a lifetime .283 average with five teams from 1934-41.

Seamus Heaney wins £10,000 Forward Prize
Poet Seamus Heaney has been named winner of the Forward Prize, which comes with a cheque for £10,000.
The Nobel Prize winner scooped the trophy for Human Chain, which he has described as his most personally revealing collection of poems.
The Northern Irish writer had been nominated for the prize three times before, but this was his first win.
Judge and author Ruth Padel described Heaney's volume as "painful, honest, and delicately weighted".
It was written a year after the poet suffered a stroke and the central poem, Miracle, was directly inspired by his illness.
Recalling the people who had to carry him up and down stairs when he was too weak to carry his own weight, he draws on the biblical imagery of the men who carried a paralysed man to Jesus to be healed.
"I realised the guys that are hardly mentioned are central... without them no miracle would have happened," Heaney told BBC Radio Ulster's Arts Extra last month.
Over the course of his career, Heaney has also won the Nobel Prize for Literature and the TS Eliot Prize, and has been made Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
His previous nominations at the Forward Prize came in 1996, for The Spirit Level, and in 2006, for District and Circle.
He has also been shortlisted twice in the best single poem category.
The ceremony also recognised poets in two further categories - the £5,000 Felix Dennis Prize for best first collection, and £1,000 for best single poem.
The former went to Hilary Menos for Berg, which includes poems about icebergs floating down the Thames and aliens wading in the Hudson River.
Julia Copus took the single poem award for An Easy Passage, which was praised for its "unsettling strangeness, the shifts of perspective and confident line".
The winners were presented with their awards during a ceremony in London's Somerset House.
"This was an astonishingly strong year for poetry," said Ms Padel. "The judges enjoyed deliberating each of the categories [but] the decision was not easy."
Padel was joined by four fellow judges - poet and columnist Hugo Williams, performance poet Dreadlockalien, journalist and broadcaster Alex Clark, and actress and director Fiona Shaw.

Top ProspecteBook - 2016
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
A 2018-2019 Missouri Truman Readers Award preliminary nominee (grades 6-8).
Travis Gardner loves football. He is the quarterback of his Pop Warner football team. When his brother Carter joins the Gainesville University football team, Travis gets his own offer: a place on the team in 5 years and a scholarship. He just has to finish middle school and high school first.
This was surprisingly good for a sports book. I found it compelling, and I didn't feel hammered by its messaging. It was my second book recently where a promising young athlete dies suddenly, possibly from the use of PEDs, and I liked the way it was handled.
While I'm not typically a fan of sports in general, I was very pleased that the author added a lot of other elements to this story that relate to middle schoolers as well as the professional sports world. From family dynamics, to friendships, to steroid use and more, Volponi was a mastermind weaving all of these things together. This is a quick read that gives you a lot of information about football and realistic fiction.

Highlight of my week: I got an unsolicited "mama, lub you" from Jackson for the first time. I absolute adore this kid, and he reminds me on a daily basis why I'm doing project life. Moments like that "mama, lub you" are worth documenting whether I've got photos or videos or just words.
I've decided I want to go back and put together a baby album for him — project life style of course but I'm torn on digital vs paper. I'll have to save that as a summer project when work slows down though so I've got some time to mull it over.
Eventually, I need to get busy catching up on my unfinished 2012 album too!

Having been involved in sports for pretty much most of my life, I have endured times of wanting to quit as well as times of wanting to never give up. These moments come across all individuals at unpredictable times, and it's most likely that when it does come about it is the worst time possible.
A lot of athletes are often measured on their individual performances in sport. This has always been the way since the very start of sports. The winners are the ones that people remember and the losers… well, nobody remembers them. There are many ways to measure an athlete, in psychology we have performance profiling, in sports analysis we have statistics, and in sports science we have laboratory physiological tests, and if you are lucky enough you will have all three of these areas to measure you and how do you perform. However, there is one aspect that I would like to draw to your attention having recently watched a video that discusses the nature of how resilience should also be considered as a measure of an individuals drive to succeed. This is something that Angela Lee Duckworth explains as being 'grit'.
Over her years of extensive research Angela Lee Duckworth was able to devise a scale of which grit can be measured. She used the scale in a number of capacities and established that it was a better predictor of success than intelligence. The main contexts that the grit scale was used was mainly academic or military, yet I am interested in how this would differ with a variety of athletes. There are always those days where you may look out of the window and see the rain sheeting down onto the road outside, and we let this factor into our train of thought and some of us may decide against training on that particular day. I believe that this grit scale may help coaches and athletes themselves to decipher how motivated and determined they are to succeed when times are hard.
For me the definition of grit is as follows: 'Being able to endure difficult moments to achieve a long term target'
We must think back and remember of times when we have achieved such targets and consider how long it took. From that length of time, how many days were good days, and how many days were bad. If we do have a day where everything looks like it is against us we must think of the days where everything was in our favour. If your long term target takes you 365 days I am guessing that roughly only 50 of those days maybe bad ones. To go one step further 50 days could be reduced to 20 days depending on your 'grittiness'.
So I urge you to have a go and see how gritty you really are by taking the 12 item grit scale as designed by Angela Lee Duckworth by clicking here. How likely are you to tell the rain and the cold to shove it? To put aside your emotions and fill your body with lactic acid? To forget about that hard day at work and hit the tarmac? To put your injury behind you and think of everything you can still achieve? The answers to these questions are what will make us different to one another, and I believe that grit is one of the newest and most influential measurements of how we can succeed.
Please take the time to watch Angela Lee Duckworth's presentation at one of the TED conferences.

Missing June 9/10, 2010 from Washington City, Washington County
Vital Statistics
Age at Time of Disappearance:
Estimated Weight:
130 lbs
Hair Color:
Eye Color:
Diagnosed schizophrenic, history of drug abuse
Case Details
June 8, 2010 was the last time Amy's sister spoke with her. They were speaking by phone and Amy told her sister that she was painting her apartment in Washington City. Originally from Latrobe, Amy had only recently moved to Washington, a move that seemed to indicate that she was getting her life together, leaving her demons behind and heading in the right direction.
Exactly when Amy was last seen is unclear, but her family became alarmed when, a day or two after that last phone call, a man using Amy's cell phone, made several threatening phone calls to her family, demanding money from them or "she's dead". The day after receiving the calls, her sister and father drove to Washington to file a missing persons report.
Amy had been known to disappear in the past but only for short periods of time and she would still keep in contact by phone. She also missed her son's graduation party, something her family says she would never do.

NewPage Taking Additional 34,000 tons of coated paper downtime
Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Press release from the issuing companyMIAMISBURG, Ohio, June 24 -- NewPage Corporation today announced that it will take approximately 34,000 tons of coated paper downtime in July in addition to 25,000 tons previously announced on June 5. Additionally, three sheeters scheduled to shut down in third quarter of 2008 at the company's Chillicothe, Ohio converting facility will now cease production July 11.
Of the 34,000 tons of downtime, approximately 18,000 tons will be taken at the Kimberly, Wisconsin mill and the balance by accelerating the previously-announced closure of the Niagara, Wisconsin mill to June 21. The affected Kimberly machines produce coated freesheet, and the Niagara mill produced lightweight coated groundwood papers.
The Chillicothe converting facility will shut down three folio sheeters, while one remaining digital sheeter continues production until the facility's planned closure in the fourth quarter 2008. The balance of the Chillicothe converting machines were moved to the converting operations in Luke, Maryland at the end of May as scheduled. The Chillicothe sheet production volume will be transferred to converting operations in Luke, Maryland and Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.
"We have recently announced a number of downtime activities due to the very difficult, unpredictable environment in which we are operating. Rising, volatile inflationary costs for energy, raw materials and transportation coupled with weak demand require us to regularly review our cost platform as well as the balance between our production and market demand. To be successful and viable long-term, we believe it is imperative to be flexible and responsive to these changing conditions," said Rick Willett, president and chief operating officer. "We are committed to continuing to keep our stakeholders apprised of any new significant decisions as we move forward."

Flavia made chicken pie today, and I'm very proud of her.
I've been thinking for a while about buying an ereader, and I've decided that it makes sense if I:
- Mostly read old, out-of-print books – say the kind available through Gutenberg. Not as crazy as it sounds – I want to read a lot of Shakespeare, Chekhov, Homer, etc.
- Actually read them, rather than saying I'm going to read them, but never getting round to it.
However, if I want to read more modern books, then I'm forced to buy them at store prices. And then, I can't give them to charity, lend them to friends, or resell on eBay. It's the same argument with paying for MP3s, or buying CD albums.
And then along comes Mininova, Pirate Bay, Rapidshare, etc. Here we have a vast repository of books which should, in theory, work on my prospective ereader. Even this week's Economist is available.
Why do publishers – be it of films, magazines, books, music, games – not get the piracy thing? Are they just squeezing every penny from their business models, without considering their future business models? Or are they right to think that those who are honest/stupid [your call] enough to pay full prices can subsidise the more selfish/tech-savvy users?
I love a soft-boiled egg for my breakfast, but can never seem to get the consistency right. I've always done the '3 minutes + 20 seconds from when the water starts boiling' thing.
This is all wrong, apparently. I should:
- Simmer 3.5 litres cold water (seems like a crazy amount!)
- Turn down the heat to the point that it's barely moving
- Put in the egg carefully
- Leave for 6 minutes
via Serious Eats
Clocks went back last night, so feeling wonderfully rested this morning. There's now only 2 hours difference between here and Brazil.
Plans for today:
- Housework – clean out kitchen, living room, do washing
- Study Portuguese for about 30 mins
- Read Chapter 3 of The Iliad and The Economist
It's a nice day outside, so I might go for a walk as well. Not sure about Church today – I still feel guilty going and standing there at the moment with all that I'm doing wrong.
Still staying at Kay's. Went to Lakeside, bought some stuff for the kids – a dictionary, a horse book, some educational games. Also bought The Iliad, and a couple of Robert Harris books (Imperium, Pompeii) from Waterstones.
Came home, ate pizza, drank red wine. Uploaded photos to Flickr from our day in Southend. Had a bath. Watched Casino Royale, and finally understood the story (with the aid of Wikipedia).
Julie called and said her computer's gone wrong, so I said I would take a look at it next weekend.
Flavia is OK today – in the morning she was great, but by the evening she seemed a little down. I bought her the 'Cute Overload' calendar as well. She had her English lesson this morning, and didn't want to go. I'm proud of her because she really fought the depression today.
It's scary to think of all the electricity required to power that – especially given that most of the rooms are prbobably empty.

I left my job at ValueClick and PriceRunner a year ago to focus on improving my skills in client-side developing. Specifically, I wanted to get more depth in my knowledge of:
- Conversion techniques
- Usability
- Accessibility
- Copy writing
Feeling like I've travelled a long way along that path, I now want to return to the job market in the UK. So, armed with a ton of books, a laptop and an internet connection, I'm starting my search.
First book is The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Resume. It seems like a fairly comprehensive overview with advice not just on writing a CV, but also on looking for jobs through networking and self-promotion.

IIPM - Admission Procedure
Some classic examples have benchmarked the history of comparative advertising. And leading the fight club is the protagonist of this story, Pepsodent, which, in its advertisements, claimed, "New Pepsodent is 102% better than the leading toothpaste." The ad showed two boys being asked the name of the toothpaste brand that they used. One happily exclaims Pepsodent, while the other's disgruntled response, though muted, clearly points cynically towards Colgate (especially as a background jingle similar to the one in Colgate's ads is used quite appropriately). Incidentally, at that time, Colgate toothpaste ruled the market with a massive 59% market share. Expectedly, Colgate took HLL (which owns Pepsodent) to court, and HLL had to withdraw its ads.
On the personal care front, HLL stirred another hornet's nest when it came out with an advertisement that read, "The Truth, Not Just Promises." The ad went on to explain how 'Fair & Lovely' was much more effective than 'No Marks'. Ozone Ayurvedics, the owners of 'No Marks', did not take this lightly. They felt this was wrong & unethical. They got their facts in order, and claimed in return that No Marks had the highest content level of active ingredients – about 59.5% of their product's total composition, compared to 0.66% in Fair & Lovely. With these and many more such shocking statistics, No Marks sure had a point to prove. HLL is surely getting cold feet on seeing a much stronger competitor; and if it continues like this, the faith of consumers might slowly get eroded.
Similarly, the Kiwi Liquid Wax Polish ad showed a squeamy and clearly unlikable liquid (polish) dripping from a bottle marked X, while no such liquid dripped from the Kiwi bottle (what else!). The shape of the bottle X left no doubt that it was Cherry Blossom. Amusingly, even the government body MRTP agreed so – and the ad was ruled a case of disparagement. Subsequently, Kiwi was asked to discontinue the same.
But poor Colgate, its cup full of woes continued from another front. When Vicco tooth powder (remember the inimitable Vajradanti!), in its ads showed an allegedly useless – and obviously unattractive – oval shaped tin of a competitor, though without any label, everyone could still identify the "useless tin" as a Colgate tooth powder can. Once again, MRTP noted that the advertisement created an impression in the viewers' minds that the can was of Colgate, and they would be inclined to believe that the product was absolutely useless, which was not right.
As must be clear by now, though effective, comparative advertising should be used with extreme caution. Comparative advertising is most effective when it's factual, and there are significant & meaningful points of differences that are highlighted.

We've seen some bad paint jobs on houses before, but this one might be the worst.
Rian White of East Hampton, N.Y., did some rabble-rousing when he asked anyone and everyone for "help" painting his house. In a move that angered neighbors, White put up a sign outside of his home, reading: "Help paint a starving artists [sic] house. Throw a pint." His house — windows and glass door included — is now covered in splashes of paint.
"It degrades the whole neighborhood," Tim Lee, White's neighbor, told East Hampton Patch. "Everybody's property value goes down. Would you buy a house next to him?"
Officials have issued notices of violation to White over the state of his property dating back to February. White didn't respond, and he is now due in court.
White went through a similar saga in 2009. After years of court battles between 2002 and 2009, town officials sent in a crew to clean up his yard, which was full of old boats, cars, tires and other knick-knacks. The town fined White $5,000 for the clean up.
Though it appears that White isn't being malicious, he does remind us of some other stories of the proverbial "neighbor from hell." Last year, AOL Real Estate reported on a neighbor trying to sabotage the sale of a home next door by displaying all of the reasons he'd make a terrible neighbor. And in June, a woman was sentenced to 90 days in jail for harassing her neighbors despite a restraining order.

Hi guys,
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about Angles. I am most proud of how far I have come with angles, at the start I didn't even know what a reflex angle was, and now I can draw one. I find angles very hard because you have to be very accurate with your measure. I learnt that all the angles in a regular Triangle adds up to 180 degrees. Its cool how you can tell if what degree it is just by measuring it. Next time I will remember to be more accurate with my measuring so when I come to an assignment with angles I will be ready.
Here is a video about the basics for Angles, so you guys can learn something as well.

Aston Martin V12 Zagato revealed
Another showstopper at the Villa D'Este Concours in Como, Italy, the Aston-Martin V12 Zagato fully lived up to its preliminary promise. Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the initial collaboration between Aston and Zagato that resulted in the fabled Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato, this modern-day homage is a competition-ready exercise based on the current Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Beyond its own immediate on-track future, the car also will spawn a limited number of street-legal examples.
Work on the Aston Martin V12 Zagato began last year, with input for the hand-formed aluminum bodywork coming both form Zagato and Aston's in-house design team headed by Marek Reichman, who noted that the Gaydon-based team refined the basic concept "using a mixture of the latest computer based modeling techniques along with crafting traditional clay models to give a real world idea of proportion, stance and detail." He also stresses that every body panel -- including the car's Zagato-inspired double-bubble roof -- was turned out in the classic manner on a traditional English wheel.
Although no modifications have been made to the 6.0-liter/510-horsepower V12 engine found in the Vantage, the Aston Martin V12 Zagato does feature a full race-spec chassis developed by an engineering team under the leadership of Chris Porritt, who also was responsible for fine-tuning the underpinnings on Aston's One-77 supercar. The double-wishbone front/rear suspension is fitted with the automaker's fully-adjustable Multimatic DSSV Dampers, and the Vantage's bonded-aluminum tub is reinforced and stiffened with the addition of a full steel rollcage. Upgraded racing brakes and a big 120-liter fuel tank complete the additions, while the cabin has a far starker look in the interests of trimming unnecessary weight from the package.
Following its debut at the Villa D'Este Concours, the Aston Martin V12 Zagato will hit the track at the Nürburgring later this month for a four-hour VLN race and is set to return with a pair of identical cars to contest the annual 24-hour race on the fabled Nordschleife circuit, with Aston Martin's Chief Executive, Dr. Ulrich Bez, behind the wheel of one. Bez, a six-year veteran of these events, offered his take on the V12 Zagato -- and what we can expect see at some point down the road. "The Zagato design language is a perfect complement to our design and engineering expertise. After 50 years of the two companies being associated with each other the partnership has produced some of the world's most iconic cars. Matching the technology of the age with the traditional skills vital to deliver such a bespoke and exclusive sports car will lead to a strictly limited run of road going V12 Zagatos."

Storybook Land, September 1963
Good ol' Storybook Land! What it lacks in thrills it more than makes up for in charm and craftsmanship. And of course there are two ways to enjoy it. You can ride in a canal boat, as seen below, as one boat is about to pass the "patchwork quilt" landscaping, with Toad Hall right next to it on the other side.
OR... you can ride on the Casey Junior Circus Train, caged like a wild animal! I always like passing over that stone bridge.
And, before there was a Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World, there was this mini version, towering above all of the pygmy-sized scenery!

From EatingWell: September/October 1993
Red lentils turn yellow when cooked and dissolve, giving the curry a nice, thick quality. I used about 3/4 cup of lentils instead of a half-cup to enhance the stew-like meatiness. Also, I upped the curry powder to a tablespoon (I like it hot!) and substituted a little honey for sugar. You can serve the curry over rice if you like. Me, I just eat it plain!
4 servings | Active Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
- 1/2 cup red lentils, rinsed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 cups water
- 4 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped, or one 14-oz. can tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 jalapeno pepper, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Combine lentils, onions, curry powder, salt, turmeric and water in a large saucepan over low heat; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and the sauce has thickened, about 45 minutes. Add tomatoes, cauliflower and jalapeno peppers and simmer, covered, until the cauliflower is tender, 8 to 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
- Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and cook for about 10 seconds. Add garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in cayenne and immediately add the oil-spice mixture to the cauliflower mixture. Stir in lemon juice, cilantro and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and cayenne.

"He nuton dekha dik ar bar… Jonmero prothomo shubho khhon…"
The rhythm of this beautiful song reminds us of Rabindra Jayanti. Tagore himself wrote the song to celebrate his birthday. The celebration of Rabindra Jayanti is among the most important festivals for people in Bengal. Cultural shows and poetry recitations are organized throughout the city in the memory of the great poet- Rabindranath. All cultural activities during the this day are held at Jorasanko Thakurbari. Music, skits, dramas, traditional songs and dances are performed in institutes and theaters that are followed by the distribution of awards. In this lens I want to express a token of my regard for him by presenting a potpourri of melodies of Rabindra Sangeet. His Literature and music are the great treasures for us.

What is the common bond for unity of all the religions of the world? Why is it that all over north America, Roman Catholic priests are being invited into evangelical churches. Does the Vatican have a strategy behind this unity? Are the errors of a false gospel being covered with a thin venier of truth? Are the 'lost brethren' being won back to the holy mother church of Rome? Can evangelicals have unity with Catholics when they are divided on the essentials of the gospel? What is the fertile ground for such deception? Is truth being suppressed for the sake of unity? What is our response to false teachers according to the Bible?

Delhi RedFort True Story: True History of Delhi Redfort
This tablet raised inside Delhi's Red Fort by modern archaeologists proclaims that Shahjahan (who ruled from 1628 to 1658 A.D.) built this fort from 1639 to 1648 A.D. As against this see the [next] photo of the painting of Shahjahan's time preserved in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It depicts Shajahan receiving the Persian ambassador inside the fort in 1628, the very year of Shahjahan's accession. Obviously the fort existed much before Shahjahan.
The 5th generation Mogul emperor Shahjahan is credited with having built the Red Fort in Delhi. Shahjahan ascended the throne in 1628 A.D. This contemporary painting shows him receiving the Persian ambassador in 1628 itself, in the Diwan-i-Aam (Common Room) of the Red Fort itself. This painting preserved in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, was reproduced in the Illustrated Weekly of India (page 32) of March 14, 1971. Since Shahjahan was in the fort in the year of his accession, this documentary evidence disproves the notion that he built the fort. Compare with this the photo of the tablet in English raised inside the fort by the Govt. of India's archaeology department asserting that Shahjahan built the fort during 1639-48. This is emphatic proof of Indian history having been thoroughly falsified during Muslim rule in India.
The Red Fort in Delhi has in its Khas Mahal, alias the King's apartment, the royal emblem of its builder King Anangoal. It consists of a pair of swords laid hilt to hilt curving upwards, the sacred Hindu pot (kalash) above the hilts, a lotus bud and a pair of scales of justice balanced over it. Dotted around are representations of the sun from whom Indian ruling dynasties claimed descent. At the sword points are two small conches considered sacred in Hindu tradition. Bigger conches may be seen at the left and right corners at the base.
This royal Hindu insignia of the Hindu king who built Delhi's Red Fort, is still there in the Khas Mahal pavilion. But even this visual symbol has been blatantly misinterpreted. The two swords laid hilt to hilt, curving upward are being inadvertently styled by ignorant guides, archaeologists and historians as an Islamic crescent. The sacred Hindu Kalash (water pot) on the hilts is never noticed. The lotus bud on the kalash represents royal wealth. The pair of scales is symbolic of impartial justice.
This perforated marble screen inside the Khas Mahal (i.e. the King's own chamber) in Delhi's Red Fort, is a Hindu specialty. Such jalees are mentioned even in Ramayanic descriptions of palaces. Therefore some buildings claimed to be mosques in Ahmedabad which boast of such exquisite jalees (lattices) are Hindu edifices. The Hindu royal emblem mounted on the upper part of the jalee, disproves that the Mogul Shahjahan built the fort.
The resplendent Hindu midday sun (from whom Hindu rulers claim descent) in the arch above flanked by the sacred Hindu letter OM. Below it is the royal Hindu insignia. This proves the hollowness of the claim that Shahjahan commissioned the Red Fort.
These life size elephants flanking the Delhi Gate of Delhi's Red Fort are an unmistakable sign of the fort's Hindu origin. This is one of the proofs that the Red Fort was commissioned by Raja Anangoal (1060 A.D.) and not the Mogul emperor Shahjahan (1639-48) as is erroneously believed. [The fort predates Shahjahan by 600 years, similar to the Taj Mahal.]
A close-up of the interior top of the entrance arch of the so-called Moti Masjid (which was Hindu Moti Mandir) inside Delhi's Red Fort. The arch at the bottom may be seen to be made of banana bunches. On either side above the arch are trays holding five fruits each as holy Hindu offering. Fruit is taboo inside Muslim mosques.
