The eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be evaluated in several ways. The client might be asked to determine illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular illness, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased significantly.
However, it needs to be well bore in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems as well. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can inform the physician and the patient to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
One's dependence on sight is emphasized when one deals with a momentary or possible permanent loss of this vital sense. Hence, when restorative measures are looked for, particular forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The his response only difference is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is corrected permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages read that individuals must know. Most likely, the primary factor why this type of eye surgery has actually become well accepted over here is due to the fact that most of its cases had actually succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be very dangerous.
To puts it simply, a easy error could almost trigger an individual's lifetime blindness. It is essential to consider many aspects prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the ideal restorative procedure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment may remedy your vision however it does not necessarily suggest that it can provide you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily suggest they have ideal vision too.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgical treatment the method most people view it
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. It needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye issue may have other problems. Often other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can signal the client and the doctor to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction.
2 Items You Do Not Figure Out Dealing With LASIK Eye Surgical Procedure
The eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.

Yesterday was my first time EVER meal prepping. I realized last week that my eating habits weren't satisfactory. I would eat whatever was easy and fast to make which included; lunch meat sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, & basically any thing carbohydrate I could find in the refrigerator.
So I decided that I've had enough of my old "fast food" trend and wanted to start a new healthier "fast food" trend. With Pinterest's help I came up with some healthy and delicious meals & snacks for the week.
Starting with my breakfast Frittata. Here is the recipe:
- 1 package of chicken Sausage (Diced)
- 1 Onion (Diced)
- 1 package of spinach
- Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup of flour
- 2 cups of milk
- salt & pepper
- Dijon Mustard
Preheat oven to 425. Start by browning the chicken sausage. After that move sausage to a plate and add the onions and garlic to the frying pan. While that is browning prepare the spinach. You can choose whatever method works for you, I boiled mine. Next, mix the onion and sausage mixture together and spread in a large baking dish. Next drain and spread the spinach to the dish. Crack the eggs in a big bowl, add the Dijon, salt and pepper, milk and flour. Whisk until flour is completely dissolved. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and voila. Pop into the oven for about 25 minutes or when the egg is cooked. You can tell when the egg is cooked by poking with a fork and making sure it is dry.
Cut and put in the refrigerator. Microwave or bake to reheat! Makes for a healthy and filling breakfast or snack.
The second meal I prepared was grilled chicken breast, green beans, and pasta. Pretty self explainatory!!
- The last thing I prepared was a Yogurt parfait. I did nonfat vanilla yogurt with bananas, strawberries, and granola. The parfaits in the picture do not have granola in them yet.

Still riding the year-end rapids, but I had to surface for this first Poetry Friday in the first month of summer.
June means graduation around here. The 8th graders at my school are graduating in a couple of weeks. They were kindergarteners when I first started at this job, so we've grown up together; now they're heading off into the wider world, and there are changes ahead for me, too.
This poem by Sharon Olds reminds me of them.
The Month of June: 13 1/2
by Sharon Olds
As our daughter approaches graduation and
puberty at the same time, at her
own, calm, deliberate, serious rate,
she begins to kick up her heels, jazz out her
hands, thrust out her hipbones, chant
I'm great! I'm great!
Read the rest of the poem here.
The Poetry Friday roundup, along with a lovely Elsa Beskow poem, is at Adventures in Daily Living this week.

I got to see Sharon Olds at a reading this April.
Honestly, I wasn't very impressed with her stuff until I heard her read it live. When I went back and heard her voice in my head while I was reading her books, I got it.
She's seriously one of the most passionate, eleoquent, entertaining speakers I've ever gotten to see.

Inspirational Song Lyrics...
I need some uplifting
the sun never goes down
its just an illusion caused by the world spinning round.
also: sleeping in is giving in. but thats more motivational than inspirational.
"Do you realise"
Thats an ace track.
"So instead of saying all of your good byes let them know you realise that life goes fast, its hard to make the good times last."

Dudes? I'm knocked up.
Pee test confirmed it. Doing blood work tomorrow. So far we haven't even told our families (except my sister, who knew we were trying) so no one call my mom and steal our thunder.
Remember last year when I first told you all about becoming foster parents, and promised I wouldn't make this blog a "family-friendly love-fest"? I still cuss a lot, but I definitely talk WAY more about parenting than things that will always piss me off or my thoughts on pajamas or the general weirdness of strangers.
I just reread a bunch of stuff I wrote, and I liked it. When I'm awake enough, I'm going to try to start incorporating more of that shit, because I do in fact have a personality outside of mothering.
So, you know, hooray! I'll keep you updated!

Stay Active & Independent for Life – THE SAIL PROGRAM
Learn why older adults say, "I can do so much more these days, and I know it's this program".
SAIL Seminars specializes in the dissemination of an evidence-based fall prevention program for older adults called "Stay Active & Independent for Life" (the SAIL Program). The SAIL Program is a strength, balance and fitness class for adults 65+ and recognized as a Title IIID – Evidence-Based Program by the Administration on Aging.
Evidence-Based Program
In September 2012, SAIL was recognized as a Title IIID – Evidence-Based Program by the Administration on Aging. SAIL met the highest level criteria for an evidence-based program.

July 1st – On or around this day in 1506, a Royal ordinance attempted to suppress the "stews" or brothels of Southwark.
The related "Crossbones Graveyard" site on Redcross Way is visited on our Thursday afternoon "Historic Southwark – Shakespeare's London and more" walk.
"Crossbones Graveyard" is an unconsecrated burial ground where "The Outcast Dead", including the prostitutes or "Winchester Geese", who worked in the nearby brothels licensed by the Bishops of Winchester, were interred, up until the nineteenth century. A "Museum of London Archaeology Service" monograph describes in detail the findings of recent archaeological excavations at the site. One of the excavated skeletons, of a nineteenth-century woman, aged only around sixteen to nineteen, exhibited pathological indications of advanced syphilis. Research undertaken for an episode of the BBC television series "History Cold Case" in 2010 indicated that this skeleton was likely to be that of one Elizabeth Mitchell, who is recorded as having been admitted to nearby St Thomas's Hospital suffering from the running sores all over the body symptomatic of advanced syphilis, and as having died there, on 22nd August 1851, aged nineteen.

Spring for Apache Hadoop and Spring XD enable Java developers to build portable big data applications quickly, unifying many disparate approaches in a single solution
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and PALO ALTO, Calif., October 29, 2013 — At the Strata Conference + Hadoop World 2013, Pivotal announced that Spring for Apache Hadoop, which is bundled with Spring XD, has been certified with Pivotal™ HD and Hortonworks HDP products. This certification enables Java developers to use modern and familiar tools to build big data applications that work across major Hadoop distributions without modification including Apache Hadoop 1.2.1 and 2.0.6 alpha, as well as Pivotal HD 1.0, and Hortonworks HDP 1.3.
Developing comprehensive big data applications can be difficult, as today's open source projects typically use separate, independent projects to integrate everything from stream analysis and batch workflow orchestration to data import and export. This leaves a Java developer to wrestle with many different programming, configuration and extensibility models.
In addition to helping support portability across Hadoop runtime environments, Spring for Apache Hadoop (SHDP) aims to help simplify the development of Hadoop based applications by providing a consistent configuration and API across a wide range of Hadoop ecosystem projects such as Pig, Hive, and Cascading in addition to providing extensions to Spring Batch for orchestrating Hadoop based workflows.
SHDP, together with Spring Integration, Spring Batch and Spring Data are part of the Spring IO Platform as foundational libraries. Building on top of, and extending this foundation, the Spring IO platform provides a big data runtime named Spring XD (XD = eXtreme Data). Spring XD, available in an early milestone release, provides a single platform that comprehensively addresses common use cases in big data solutions – without the need to write code – just by using a domain specific language (DSL). These use cases include data ingestion from external sources, data transformation and real-time analytics, data import/export to/from HDFS, and workflow orchestration.
These foundational parts of Spring IO platform make Hadoop development more accessible to a wider range of Java developers – including the massive Spring developer community – and make the process even faster for Hadoop experts.
"Spring XD connects big data apps to existing systems, as well as any new data source or data store – and will indeed appeal to the enterprise," said Shaun Connolly, vice president, Corporate Strategy for Hortonworks.
"Big Data applications are a critical emerging trend for enterprises to address new opportunities hidden in data at Internet scale," said Adrian Colyer, chief technology officer, Applications at Pivotal. "This Spring XD advancement works to unlock Big Data in Hadoop using leading distributions – for the masses of enterprise Java developers using Spring."
Spring XD is open source and available at no charge under an Apache 2.0 license, and can be obtained from the Spring.io website.

text: Melanoregulin (Mreg), a dilute suppressor gene product, has been implicated in the regulation of melanosome transport in mammalian epidermal melanocytes, because Mreg deficiency was found to restore peripheral melanosome distribution from perinuclear melanosome aggregation in Rab27A-deficient melanocytes. However, the function of Mreg in melanosome transport has remained unknown. Here we show that Mreg regulates microtubule-dependent retrograde melanosome transport through the dynein-dynactin motor complex. Mreg interacted with the C-terminal domain of RILP (Rab interacting lysosomal protein) and formed a complex with RILP and p150Glued, a component of the dynein-dynactin motor complex, in cultured cells. Overexpression of Mreg, RILP, or both in normal melanocytes induced perinuclear melanosome aggregation, whereas knockdown of Mreg or functional disruption of the dynein-dynactin motor complex restored peripheral melanosome distribution in Rab27A-deficient melanocytes. These findings reveal a novel mechanism by which the dynein-dynactin motor complex recognizes Mreg on mature melanosomes through interaction with RILP and is involved in their centripetal movement.

Its name (which means "varied toothed lizard") stems from its three kinds of teeth. Its teeth are unusual because reptiles and dinosaurs usually only have a single kind of teeth. At the frront of Heterodontosaurus' jaw were small teeth using for chopping leaves and other plant fibers, these were followed by large tusks which may jhave been used for sexual displays, and at the back of the jaw were tall square teeth which were adapted for chewing. An additional adaption for chewing was cheeks: Heterodontosaurus was also one of the first kinds of dinosaurs to have developed cheeks to keep the food in its mouth.
Heterodontosaurus' hands were also interesting. Each hand contained five fingers, two of which were opposable "thumbs" allowing the creature to grasp its food.
Heterodontosaurus Timeline:
Heterodontosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived about 205 million years ago

Bush may someday fulfill his promise
A moment will come on January 20th, 2005. It will be cold in Washington D.C. A man who is not George W. Bush will raise his hand and swear and oath to preserve, protect and defend the United States of America. The words "So help me God" will be snatched by the wind and carried across seas and mountains to the furthest corner of the planet. When that happens, all of the Earth will be joined together in the deepest and most profound exhalation of relief. When that happens, George W. Bush will have become in his absence what he completely failed to be with his presence: A uniter.

September 6, 2008
I've always thought that there are several types of programmers, each one showing distinctive features. Now, I think you could do the same with people who want to learn programming. And, one of the most important decisions a novice programmer will ever take is what to learn; the first choice is which programming language to learn first.
The hobbyist
That's the person who's just interested in learning programming as a form of entertainment and to take a challenge every now and then. So, instead of collecting stamps, he learns programming. He probably won't want to get down to the complex stuff, but he might end up liking it and wanting to do it for a living.
Is this you? I suggest you learn Python, which is easy to learn but also powerful.
You should probably read this book. You can find a .pdf version here.
The engineer
That's the person who wants to learn programming as a discipline, and to get more out of his computer, or perhaps because he likes a challenge (but not the hobbyist's kind). He's more likely to end up wanting to do it for a living, or to make use of the skills he starts to acquire in his current job.
Is this you? I suggest you either learn Python (see above) as an introduction to programming, and perhaps learn C. The latter might be a bit difficult in the beginning, but the effort will be worth it (you will not only be able to program in C — You will have some base knowledge and skills which will let you learn C++ or more advanced object-oriented programming languages more easily).
The computer scientist
Right, we're starting to deal with the serious folks. That's the folk who wants to learn programming to earn a living, and perhaps we should make a difference between an "engineer" in my categorizing system, and a "software engineer", which is what this type of person will eventually become. He does want a challenge, but probably only to improve his skills and add new shiny things to his CV.
Is this you? I suggest you learn C. It will most likely be a prerequisite for you to work as an actual software engineer. Otherwise, it lets you learn C++, Java, or whatever you're into more easily. Focus on object-oriented programming languages, as that's the trend nowadays.
The hacker
Now, this is the type I wanted to talk about. That's the person who loveschallenges, loves programming, and loves to experiment with both old and new stuff. He'll most likely want to do it for a living, but he's likely to experience some trouble working for someone else doing things that he doesn't like, unless he's got enough free time to do what he likes at home (or in his server-cave). While you may think of programming as either something very complex or as a serious discipline, the hacker (if you're thinking of movie types who break into computer systems, you're thinking of a cracker, not a hacker) will think of it as a playful and pleasurable form of entertainment. It will probably even become his lifestyle.
Is this you? Hell, forget about Python unless you don't know anything about programming yet! Learn C for lower-level tasks and embedded systems, and… Lisp! You can choose between Scheme (the tiny basis for Lisp, with which you can experiment but not really write any serious applications) and Common Lisp (a complex and complete dialect of Lisp, probably uglier than Scheme but excellent for any purpose).
See? It's not that hard to decide which language to learn first.

65 things to wonder about
1. I wonder why certain people really hate using their blinkers.
2. I wonder how to get from here to there.
3. I wonder why intercourse is a word for sex rather than something related to dining or driving. "Last night, the waiter served us the most amazing heirloom tomato salad for an intercourse."
4. I wonder whether I will get to read all of the books I want to read in my lifetime.
5. I wonder why we waste so much time when there is really so little time at all.
6. I wonder if governments will start monitoring our texts and tweets... "London Riots 2011: Protesters Use BlackBerry Messenger; Hackers Back Them"
7. I wonder what the percentage of technological advances used for "bad" purposes is.
8. I wonder how many terrible things that are brewing 'beneath the surface' will erupt into violence and disorder.
9. I wonder how much of life is motivated by inequalities of power.
10. I wonder what I will be when I grow up.
11. I wonder if I will ever "grow up."
12. I wonder if "growing up" completely is a good thing.
13. I wonder why Martha didn't create a more clever catchphrase than "it's a good thing."
14. I wonder why we deride the missteps of some (Amy Winehouse and Richard Hatch... remember him?), but forgive those of others (Martha Stewart and Kobe Bryant.)
15. I wonder how many people can actually truly and completely forgive.
16. I wonder which is better for the recipient... forgiveness or empathy.
17. I wonder why people say, "I can forgive you but I can never forget..." Of course you can't forget! Obviously, if it was something bad enough to require forgiveness, it must have hurt like hell.
18. I wonder why emotional pain is so physical.
19. I wonder why what made me so sad about the renovation of The Balsams Resort in Dixville Notch, NH was that they would probably get rid of the clinking radiators that used to put me to sleep when we stayed there.
20. I wonder why 'improving' things can be so upsetting to us.
21. I wonder why I've learned to love certain foods I hated as a child (tomatoes, eggs, salmon), but others still disgust me (peas, beets.)
22. I wonder what a miracle would really look like.
23. I wonder when the economy will improve.
24. I wonder when (or if) we will have another boom period like the 80s.
25. I wonder why standing on your head is so fun as a child and so frightening as an adult.
26. I wonder if I will ever be able to remember the name of that apple donut-type thing I used to eat at a bakery in Martha's Vineyard.
27. Oh wait! I think it's an apple fritter. Now if I could only remember where we got them...
28. I wonder why the deaths of John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette hit me so hard.
29. I wonder why it's so hard to turn my brain off at night when all I want to do is sleep.
30. I wonder when bacon and chocolate became friends.
31. I wonder how it will all turn out.
32. I wonder why I love swimming but am terrified of open water.
33. I wonder why all pools don't use a saline purification system instead of chlorine and other toxic chemicals.
34. I wonder how many toxic chemicals we ingest daily without any knowledge.
35. I wonder why people at the gym have to spray that super strength disinfectant all over everyone around them rather than just on the machine.
36. I wonder why some people think gyms are social places.
37. I wonder how many long-term couples meet at gyms. ;-)
38. I wonder how many people can act truly selflessly.
39. I wonder if people who say "I promise I will change" can ever really change.
40. I wonder why people have to keep remaking films that were good in the first place -- Rear Window, Dirty Dancing, Psycho, Charade)

56. I wonder if they would actually be better places to live.
57. I wonder when I will get back to Venice.
58. I wonder why watching birds visit my feeder is so gratifying, so calming, so reassuring, so absorbing.
59. I wonder what happens to dreams we used to have.
60. I wonder why everyone doesn't believe in the possible.
61. I wonder what happens to all the feelings and thoughts of people who die.

Electronic Sub Plans
I find that email is the perfect tool for sending sub plans to school when I am not able to go myself. I just email a friend who can print out the plans and take them with him/her in the morning. (Of course, I call first to make sure the friend is able to do it.) I already have an outline of my schedule and other permanent information on word processing. Whenever I am going to be absent, I just type in the current information. Computers make planning for subs so much easier.

Last week Ian and I made up a big batch of gyoza, or Japanese pork and cabbage dumplings. We got the recipe from one of my very favourite chefs, Anna Olson, here. It turned out amazingly well, and I'm super impressed with how authentic it tastes, even though Ian and I always opt to use low sodium soya sauce. It made over 100 dumplings, and you just freeze them. We had them twice last week, but decided that they're not quite the same without sushi too. So we figured we'd give that a shot this week.
It's actually pretty easy to make sushi. I mean, it must be. I made it in 8th grade, that was over 15 years ago (like 18 years ago!? Holy!) and I can still remember the basics. We opted to make plain ol' California rolls, because we both really like those. They're the ones with cucumber, avacado, and crab.
First I cooked the rice. You have to use short grain white rice, and you should rinse it before you cook it. I rinsed it about three times I think, until the water is mostly clear. Then you should let the rice drain for a while. Then you cook the rise (about twice as much water to rice ration I believe) using the pretty standard rice cooking method. Boil water with salt, add rice. When all the water is absorbed, take it off the stove and let it sit for a few more minutes. Now, apparently, at this point, you should add some rice wine vinegar and sugar. So last night I did this. But tonight I didn't and there really wasn't too much different. Although I do think it was maybe a bit nicer last night. Anyways, I think I only added about a tablespoon of rice vinegar, and a teaspoon of sugar. You don't really want to taste it, I don't think...
So then you let the rice cool. I've heard things about bacteria growing really fast on rice so I put it straight in the fridge at this point.
Then you slice up your veggies, pretty small, think "match sticks" for the cucumber, and small chunks for the avacado. I shredded the crab too, and added some Japanese mayo.
I used plain ol' plastic wrap to help roll my sushi. So I laid out a piece of plastic wrap, placed a piece of nori over it, then covered it with a thin layer of rice. Make sure to leave about a cm at the end, to seal the roll. Then I sprinkled it with some sesame seeds for fun, and laid out my "fillings", all pretty close together I guess.
Then you just roll it up! You can use the plastic wrap to help you roll it evenly, and give it a good squeeze so that it's all tight in there as you're rolling. When the plastic wrap is getting close to being tucked inside, you can just pull it up and back out of the way. You're pretty close to being finished anyways.
Just before you reach the end (or before you started rolling even!) you can dip your fingers in some water, and rub it on the inside edge of the nori, where you left a space with no rice. That's the part you'll use to seal the roll closed. As you can tell, I overstuffed this one and my rice was oozing out!
Finally, you should use a really sharp knife to cut your roll into bite-sized rounds. Even with a pretyt sharp knife, my end pieces squished out a bit! But they still tasted good, and that way Ian and I could both taste them while we finished getting dinner on!
I still had to warm up the gyoza, after all! Which is fast! Straight from the freezer to a frying pan with just a very little bit of oil. When they're a bit brown, add some water so they're just over half-covered, and put a lid over (loosely, you want to steam them, but want the water to evaporate too!) It takes less than ten minutes! Then let them brown just a little more. Ian and I like to flip them over so they're crispy on two sides!
Mmm, sooo good.

A Racetam Stack that Might Be a Huge Boost
Triple magic! If you are a nootropic veteran, this combo is perfectly in your wheelhouse. The objective of this specific suite is to maximize the gains you receive with racetams as a whole. Various ones deliver gains that the others just don't. As an example, aniracetam will heighten your mood much more so than piracetam and oxiracetam will. However, as we know, you will likely not feel enhanced focus using aniracetam … you'll need to add piracetam to give you that. Before you get too cynical, realize that nootropics, according to extensive research, are not toxic to your body …Continue reading

Although the American Farm Bureau is tied to conventional agriculture and its conservative base, the organization is worried about climate change, and it's preparing for the future impact that global warming will have on farming. The surprising move was driven by concerns about snowpack in the western US, which stores water during the winter and then releases it slowly throughout the year. A warming climate means that water stored as snow could instead fall as rain—and that could lead to a serious water shortage during the dry summer season.
The American Farm Bureau believes that it is essential to start storing water now, in case snowpack doesn't meet current needs. Right now, snowpack accounts for about 70 percent of water storage, so even a minor change in the amount of snowfall could have a big impact on farms. "As climate change comes, we have to adapt, and that means we'd better have lower-level capturing systems to be able to capture that water, because it's going to come as rainfall, not snowpack," said Paul Wenger, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation.
Related: Research shows California drought is the worst in 1,200 years
The solution isn't quite as progressive as one might hope. Rather than working to fight climate change, the Farm Bureau, which generally opposes any sort of regulation, is asking the government to help farmers by assisting them in building dams to help store water. While it isn't ground-breaking, at least the Farm Bureau is acknowledging the reality of climate change.

Butters' version of "What What (in the Butt)" prevails.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were on the receiving end of a lawsuit in November 2010 for allegedly ripping off the viral video hit "What, What (In My Butt)" by Samwell in a 2008 episode, but courts decided it was fair use (haven't you ever heard of a parody? Hello!).
That didn't sit well with Samwell, who filed an appeal, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the appeals court has refused to revive the suit against Viacom subsidiary Comedy Partners.
And here's why (it's not just because it's awesome)...

Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award
I recently submitted my novel, to the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award competition. It should be interesting - I'm taking my first length work of fiction and putting it up against 10,000 other people (well, technically 9,999 other people). The optimist in me has me wanting to check the website every day, to see how I'm doing. I'm proud of my novel, but I'm not certain it's up to the quality of several of my competitors. All I'm really hoping for in any case is some decent feedback. I've shown the writing to family and friends, but this is pretty much the first time I'm submitting my work for evaluation by a person who has no vested interest in my well being. Not that my family and friends would lie to me about the quality, I know they'd never do that. It's more of an external validation - what does a complete stranger think when they read my work?

BUT, I have been working. I lasted posted that I was thinking of making some dresses for Grace. I decided to postpone that until after my visit to the South. Instead I made my mom 2 pillows that she's been wanting. I thought pillows would make her happy, and isn't it nice to make someone's day!?!
I also haven't finished these completely. I just need to finish hand stitching the binding. I think that is the perfect activity for me while I'm at my mom's house.
I might have more to say about my Round of Applause Pillow on another day, but it's too late tonight. Sorry.
Now I must get some sleep because I have A LOT to do tomorrow.

Special Achievements
- Premium! This seed has scored higher than 40 out of 70 in the overall score.
- Spelunked! Higher than 8 out of 10 in caves.
- Beginner

- ++ Expert ++
- Suicidal Expert
Spawn and Version
Spawn: -55.69.-7
Version: XBL 1.1.1 (equiv Beta 1.7.3)
A holdover from last week's mathematical bent, this seed name is the decimal version (rounded to the 10th decimal) of the quasi-famous irrational number known as the Golden Ratio. To believers, the Golden Ratio appears in the measurements of and defines the pleasant esthetic of everything from art to geology to architecture and everything in between. Its appearance in the pentagram has sealed its status in the world of mysticism. At the risk of giving credence to this hokum, it also makes for a great Minecraft seed.
My Review
This seed has the right proportions to earn the label "premium" as far as I'm concerned. The caves in this thing are intense and deep. As you might expect, this is partially a result of the tall mountains that cover whole quadrants of the map. Between the two, you're going to spend most of your time in shade, fighting off zombies and spiders for real estate. Getting around is not easy, but if you prefer your Minecraft more subterranean, then this is the seed for you.
Items of Interest
- [-177.381.134] zombie cave
- [-190.72.147] lava fall cave
- [-201.80.163] mega cliff cave system near medium waterfall
- [-164.80.214] nest of caves near tall waterfall
- [-279.84.282] pumpkins
As caves are particularly difficult to photograph and I rarely travel with torches while doing cartography, the only shot I have that was anything to write home about is this self-illuminated lava fall cave. It may be difficult to tell, but the water heads to the back and then cascades downward to even deeper parts of the cave.

Football, Faith and Me
by Linvoy Primus with Peter Jeffs
Legendary, £18.99
Reviewed by Matthew Brown
From WSC 252 February 2008
The autobiographies of footballers tend to be much the same: the humble beginnings and boyhood dreams, the youth-team triumphs and early rejections, the lower-league obscurity and later successes. This one is no different, tracing the ups and downs of Linvoy Primus's life story from his east London childhood to rejection by Charlton to the comings and goings of form, injury, managers and team-mates as he slowly moved up the ranks from Barnet to Reading to Portsmouth.
These books also tend to focus on one characteristic of the subject that makes him stand out: Peter Crouch's height, for example, or Paul McGrath's boozing. It's the player's brand, the book's selling point. For Linvoy Primus, it's his Faith (capital F). According to the blurb, his conversion to Christianity after he had joined Portsmouth "transformed" him from a man of "disillusionment, lack of self belief and rejections" into "a top Premiership player".
This book is his testimony, if you like, the tale of how God "saved" the nervous young Primus from self-doubt and insecurity, converting him into a man of "new confidence and assurance". "I wanted to tell people of the changes that have happened in my life because of God's power," he writes. "Of how God has lifted me up and taken me to new levels of performance and consistency in my career."
What's more – this being the evangelical type of Christianity – he wants us to know that God can do the same for us, "that what's happened to me can happen to anyone who accepts God into their lives". Which is great, just pass the Bible and fetch my boots.
No doubt believers will be swept along by it, and Pompey fans, too, as the prayer-and-healing stuff is interspersed with a chronological account of Portsmouth's Harry Redknapp-inspired clamber from the foot of the Championship to Premiership security.
Unfortunately, whether you go along with Primus's Bible-bashing or not, the book fails to be the inspirational tome it's cracked up to be, largely because it's written in a sometimes ungrammatical and often ponderous style. Occasionally Transformed reads as if the ghost writer has simply transcribed his tapes and left it at that. The book is also full of cliches, and not just the football stuff – there's a (not so) "amazing" recovery from injury, for example, and other rather unconvincing incidents of "God's healing" and the "power of prayer".
That said, Primus does come over as one of football's less self-centred characters, a man largely unconcerned about the usual obsessions with celebrity and materialism. He must be one of the few Premier League players to spend his close season doing charity work in India and Africa.
Clearly, he's also a hard-working, determined and loyal footballer, who likes to prove his doubters wrong. I tend to think that's where his real strength lies, but I guess it depends what you believe.

This document is based on my experiences of writing plug-ins for the GNU Image Manipulation Program in C. Much of this document is likely relevant to GIMP plug-ins in other languages, but I'm too much of a monoglot to know for sure. A basic working knowledge of C is assumed, but extensive experience isn't necessary.
The Source is Your Friend Too. This document contains frequent code snippits, but to get any context, you'll probably want to be working through (reading and/or writing) some plug-in code alongside it. Miles O'Neal has extensively annotated his randomize plug-in, making it a good place to start. You may want to look at several — each one will have their own peculiar parts that they've done well or poorly on.
This document was authored for version 1.0 of GIMP. But now GIMP 1.1 is now frozen and on its glacial journey towards the 1.2 release. There have been a few changes and a considerable number of additions to libgimp which have yet to been documented here. While that makes this somewhat out of date at current, it is still reasonably accurate, and may serve as an overview for getting started with your plug-in.
In addition, two valueable new resources have been created. One is the libgimp reference documentation, which documents all the functions in the current libgimp. It is distributed in the devel-docs directory of the GIMP distribution, and is also available on-line. The second is the GIMP plug-in template, which contains a skeleton of all the files you need to get started on you own plug-in, including support for autoconf, internationalization using gettext, and GIMP's on-line help system. It's available as the gimp-plugin-template module in the GNOME CVS repository and is mirrored by GIMP plug-ins CVS.
Depending on your output medium's implementation of style sheets, you may notice different parts of this document have different styles.
printf("This code was quoted from the GIMP sources."); /* This is a comment in the source code. */
printf("This is example code to illustrate a point."); /* This is a comment in the source code. */
References to the GIMP source code are linked to the LXR engine at cvs.gnome.org. Caution: That may be a newer version of the source than is is use by the general public, but I couldn't find anything else to link to. If you're developing for the stable version of GIMP, check your own copy of the source. Also, line numbers may have changed since I established the links … If you find that to be the case, please let me know.

Tim Belcher
Tim Belcher, starting pitcher 1988 stats: 12-6, 2.91 ERA What is he doing now? Belcher works for the Cleveland Indians as Special Assistant to Baseball Operations. What is your most memorable moment from that season? "Several things stand out; Steve Sax starting the season with a HR, I believe on the first pitch in the bottom of the first inning. Gibson scoring from second base on a passed ball more than once. Orels streak and the nine inning scoreless tie in San Diego that made breaking the record possible. Don Drysdale. And, without a doubt the Gibson HR in Game #1 of the World Series. What went through your mind when Kirk Gibson hit that Game 1 homer? "Thanks Gibby! I just spit-the-hook for what would have been a World Series loss." Do you ever wear your World Series ring? "I seldom wear it. Not practical jewelry around the farm and a bit too showy out in public or while working. I do wear it occasionally to speaking engagements, especially those involving young athletes."

"Girls Soccer & Concussions (PCS)." YouTube. YouTube, 08 Aug. 2012. Web. 16 Dec. 2012.
Insider Health TV reports on the epidemic of concussions in girl's soccer. Girl's soccer is rapidly growing and the amount of concussions is rising with it. According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine, "Girls report nearly twice as many concussions as boys in the sports they play." With this being said it is reported that girl's soccer is the second largest amount of all concussions. The dangers of concussions are indeed in the original trauma, but they are also in the post syndrome years after.
One concussion can be dangerous and have lasting effects. With just one concussion you can suffer headaches, dizziness, nausea, visions problems and even depression. The main concern in girl's soccer is the heading that can lead to concussions. Now heading the ball itself may not cause the concussion, but the head on head and elbow to head collisions could. Heading the ball is a part of the game, but there are safety measures that can be taken. Learning the right way to head a ball can decrease your risk of a concussion drastically.
Being a soccer player I am a little biased when I hear the information. I don't doubt the researchers and the information they have found out but when it comes to heading the ball I have to disagree. They say there are safety measures that can be taken, but when you're in a soccer game I can guarantee you aren't thinking about how you can safely jump up to head the ball. The only thing that goes through my mind is how I can head the ball before the opposing opponent does and if I have to shove her while in the process then I will. There are risks you are going to have to take being a part of any sport you play. Although I have to disagree about heading the ball I do agree with being smart. If I knew I had a concussion I would step out of the game and take a break from playing. It is not worth risking the damage to my brain.

Chesham, what is it like?
I am looking to rent a house in Chesham, Waterside. I am not familiar with the area and so far I have heard/read more cons than pros about the area in general. What is the neighbourhood like? Poor? Chavs? Is it safe to raise a family?

Hi Mony, You can find out the information you require easily. Firstly I would suggest going to the Police.UK website and entering the post code of the area you are looking in. This will bring up all the statistics in the area of what crime has occured and how often. In terms of pros and cons I would just read up on the town on Google. Look at the Council website, local forums and anything else you can find out about the town. Good luck with the move and I hope the advice helps. :-)Answered on May 11 2015, Report content
Hi Mony55, Chesham is a great town. I lived there, in Waterside for 5 years and loved it. It's a safe area generally, though it's a fairly mixed neighbourhood with people from all walks of life and backgrounds (not as snooty as Chesham Bois or Amersham). What was lovely was having Chesham Moor opposite - lots of green, open space, a place to go for a walk, fly a kite, walk a dog or play frisbee. There's also a lovely walk along the river to the lakes. Right on the corner there's the open air pool, which is great in summer and a small gym. There's a play area next to this for kids which has been recently refurbished. The area has a few spots which need attention (closed down pubs being redeveloped) but generally the area feels well looked after and the people around about are friendly and considerate.Answered on Sep 3 2015, Report content

The Australian economy is underachieving compared to other developed markets, the International Monetary Fund has said. The IMF looked into how the biggest economies in the world are performing relative to their potential.
The figures show that Australia's economy is the worst performer among developed markets. The country falls short of its optimal output by nearly 2 percent of GDP.
When actual output is less than what an economy could generate at full capacity, a negative output gap occurs. It indicates spare capacity because of weak demand.
The IMF figures show the broader economy still falls well short of optimal levels. Despite this, some measures like employment figures and business conditions show that Australia is doing well. ANZ economists David Plank and Jack Chambers pointed out last week that recent GDP growth has been boosted by population growth.
Challenge for policy makers
Boosts in productivity must be a priority for policy makers in order for the country to maintain its 26-year run of uninterrupted growth. Last week, a five-yearly review with a list of policy options to improve productivity has been released by the federal government's productivity commission.
In Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's speech to the Asia Pacific Regional Conference in Perth, he said that "the epicentre of opportunity is shifting closer to Australia within Asia," adding, "And while the number of Chinese visitors in Australia surged 10 percent last year and 13 percent from Japan, they rose 15 percent from India and 23 percent from Indonesia."
Turnbull also mentioned the nation's participation in a China-centric trade deal and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. The goal is to create an open architecture that allows any country to join, given they meet its high standards. "We should not be afraid of policy ambition, at a time when the global economic system is fraying at the seams," the prime minister said, adding that prosperity is a choice.
Private-sector lending grew at only 0.3 percent while business lending dropped 0.1 percent. Again, it was housing credit growth that propped up the overall figures, growing 0.5 percent for the month.
Meanwhile in the United States, the labour market bounced back from the hurricane season, with up to 235,000 private sector jobs added, according to data from payroll provider ADP. It was the highest jump since March and further proof of a strong US recovery. Conference Board figures revealed strong consumer confidence.

After all the recent baby knits I have been itching to knit something for an adult, in chunky weight yarn & with next to no sewing up. It's a chunky textured cowl knit in mistake ribbing, & is ever so cosy. It's simple enough for even conservative wearers, though you could liven it up for more daring types with a contrasting colour in the i-cord bind off & with decorative buttons
The cowl is first knit in the round, & then knit back & forth to make a slit to one side. It's intended to be worn folded down at the top, but of course, you can wear it without the fold & tucked into more layers on cold days. The finished cowl is approx. 23.5 cm high & 23 cm across.
Yarn; 108 g / 130 metres of chunky weight yarn
I used Debbie Bliss Rialto Chunky (50 g / 60 m per ball, recommended tension of 15 st/ 10 cm)
The body of the cowl used 2 balls; the partial 3rd ball was for the optional i-cord edging.
Recommended Tension; 14 st/10 cm in stocking stitch.
Needles; 5.5 mm circular for the body, 5 mm circular for the i-cord edging.
Spare DPN for picking up stitches.
(I'm a slightly loose knitter; you may need to use larger needles)
Cast on 74 stitches & join for knitting in the round, being careful not to twist.
Mark the beginning of the round with a stitch marker.
Knit in mistake ribbing in the round
Round 1; knit all stitches
Round 2; *K1 P1* repeat for the round.
Continue knitting these 2 rounds until the piece measures about 15 cm, ending with a knit round. Increase one stitch at the end of this round.
Change to knitting flat
WS; * P1, K1* repeat until last stitch P1
RS knit all stitches
Continue knitting these two rows until you're almost out of yarn - approximately 8 cm (or until the desired length).
If you do not want to add i-cord edging bind off now.
i-cord edging
WS facing, and using the smaller needle; (knit, YO knit) into the first stitch. Slip these 3 stitches back to the left needle tip without twisting.
*K2, K2tog, slip stitches from right needle to left needle tip* along the remaining live stitches.
Pick up 16 stitches along the first edge of the side slit; continue knitting the applied i-cord onto these stitches. Pick up another 16 stitches on the second slit edge, & continue with the applied i-cord until just 3 stitches remain. K2tog, k1; slip last 2 stitches onto left needle tip; K2tog.
Weave in ends, & add decorative buttons, if desired.
This is great, thanks for sharing! I love cowls coz they keep the wind out of your coat :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 8, 2011 at 4:28 PM
Love the cowl. It's probably obvious to everyone else but me but how do you go from knitting in the round to knitting in the flat?ReplyDelete
Thanks for whatever help you can give me.
Hi Priscilla; I tend to use circular needles for in-the-round knitting; to change from in-the-round to flat I turned the knitted piece (as you would for normal flat knitting) once I got to the end of the round, & started knitting with the wrong side facing. Not sure if I'm explaining it properly.ReplyDelete
Knitted cowls act like neck gators and since you can breath through knitting, you can pull over your face in really cold weather. Love this pattern.ReplyDelete

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police helped a Weybridge Street resident who had complained of an uninvited guest on Dec. 1.
The caller told police there was a "strange man" at the house who was refusing to leave. Police said the man left prior to their arrival.

The choice is made, it can't be undone. It's too late for second chances.
So, to my dear friend:
Be brave! Don't be scared, don't be scared to lose your way. Tell the others what you think. Tell the others what you want.
Tell Mindy what you want, because she has replaced what little light I had with a much brighter one, so don't let her go. Trust her, let her in. Don't be afraid to show her your true self, because it's a beautiful self to be.
Be brave, dear friend. My memories will fade, and you shall make a million more to have with the others, if you tell them your feelings and thoughts, and with Mindy, for she will be twice the person I ever was.
What a beautiful name.

Sky Blue FC Finishes Preparation
Saint Louis Athletica Hosting Sky Blue FC at 4:00 p.m.
St. Louis (Saturday, May 15, 2010) – Sky Blue FC (3-2-0, 9 points) looks to maintain its grip on second place in the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) Standings this Sunday, with the team traveling for an afternoon road pairing with Saint Louis Athletica (2-1-2, 8 points). Kickoff for the match is slated for 4:00 p.m., and a win in this game would give Sky Blue FC its third straight road victory.
"Everybody is excited about this match," Sky Blue FC head coach Pauliina Miettinen said. "We are gaining confidence with each game we play, and this match will be a great test for us."
Sky Blue FC has been faced with many early season obstacles this year, with key injuries sidelining a handful of impact players. The team has still maintained an upbeat attitude and fought through those hardships, all the while picking up the points to maintain its position in the upper echelon of the WPS Standings. Many of the players who have been recently sidelined are also close to returning to the pitch for Sky Blue FC as well.
"In the end, the only thing that matters is getting the points," Miettinen continued. "We have been missing some key players, but we have also had many young players step up and contribute in their absence. This team shows great character in the way it approaches each game and training session, and our players have a true fighting spirit within them."
Including the match tomorrow afternoon, three of Sky Blue FC's last four games have been on the road, and the team knows acquiring a winning rhythm on the road is essential for a successful season.
"It's a matter of consistency for us," midfielder Yael Averbuch stated. "We try to go into every game with the same attitude, whether it's home or away. We really try to go after every team and win every game. Hopefully, we'll do that again this weekend."
Fans who want to keep up with the game action on Sunday can follow the WPS Match Tracker or the official Sky Blue FC Twitter page @SkyBlueFC.
With the U.S. Women's National Team playing Germany next Saturday, it will be a league-wide bye week for WPS. Sky Blue FC will return home to Yurcak Field on Saturday, May 29th, when it hosts the Boston Breakers at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for that game can be purchased now by calling 1-888-SBFC-TIX or visiting www.SkyBlueFC.com.
