I'm impressed at Ken's emails–He's typing on the ipad's virtual keyboard, which drives me batty for more than a paragraph or two, but I'm so grateful he's taking the time and recording his experiences in Kiffanie's birth-land, getting to know her, and experiencing the life she's known. It helps me here on the other side of the globe to see a bit of it through the emails–I hope many of you enjoy the journey too!
Here's Ken…
Day 4
Sweet little Kiffanie woke up very sleepy this morning. She wandered down the hall in kind of a fog, not uncommon for the adults in our household. I helped her get her clothes and sent her down to get cleaned up dressed and breakfasted. The last couple of days before I leave I intend to do this myself, but she is still getting used to me. Just another quiet morning as I wait for Didier to go to town.
I finally made a major break through on Kiffanie, I now know how to get her to hug me and show affection. All I have to do is be around the other children in the orphanage. She then becomes very possessive. After Kiffanie went to have breakfast this morning, I was waiting for her to come back or Didier to come so we could go to town. Anita came and found me and we walked down to where the older orphans stay. Kiffanie and the others were there, so I was going to try and get some pictures. I had hoped to photograph and get to know C & A (a brother and sister at the orphanage). Anyway, when the other kids started to show an interest in me, all of a sudden I was very popular with Kiffanie. The pictures are on the other camera, but most were not very good, as the children all wanted to see the camera, or if they wanted there picture taken, they stood right in front of me. One foot in front of me. The lighting was also horrible, and a few of the pictures had bright window light in the background. I will try later and maybe send those from the iPad.
We went to town again and got another document taken care of. This was from the burgomaster's office ( aka. Burglar master). This was the $20 document. Didier said we have $100 and a $200 documents left to go. Didier's friend sent the visa documents today, so we should have that tomorrow, so we may have all the business that needs to be taken care of finished, and then on Thursday we will just have to board the plane to come home. Praise God!!! Thank all the people praying for me, I know the Lrd is taking care of things here.
Tonight's dinner consisted of chicken, cooked carrots and green beans, some vegetable I don't remember the name of and foo-foo. I commented that foo-foo tastes like the food that we had from the missionaries from Malawi. Didier said that is a dish that is popular all over Africa and that it is the same thing. It is sticky, heavy and very bland, a little bit like a plain corn tortilla. It is made out of maize after all.
I forgot to tell you about this afternoon. We did not return from town until about 2:30. Kiffanie did not go with us today, as we planned for a longer time in town today. She was resting as the orphanage children are often doing. Then Didier's children caught me and I had seven children playing with the iPad. I hope it survives the week. Kiffanie came up and watched some, but mostly played on her own. I realized today that I did not spend much time with her. Tomorrow may be a little like that again, but if all the business of getting her out of the country is completed, it will free up a lot of time for her the rest of my stay.
On day 2 I mentioned a little bit about the driving. Didier told me that if a driver his a pedestrian here, that they are likely to drive on and nobody will stop to help. So pedestrians beware.
The market here where most of the food is purchased for the orphanage is unique experience. The main market is just a row of maybe 40 shops. They are these white buildings which share a common wall and are only open from the front. They are not likely to burn down as the are almost all concrete or brick. Each shop is not very big (I will try to attach a picture), but then anybody who has something to sell just flops down in front of one of the shops. Most of the downtown is like that, people selling anything and everything.the market has a bad smell to it. My guess is that it is a cross between human waste and animal left overs after slaughter. Didier said that you cook everything here, no raw vegetables. He bought me some apples, which I have honestly been afraid to eat, because what he told me. Kiffanie and Didier's kids are happy to take them from me. They eat them right down to the core, there is no waste here. When Didier ate the chicken tonight, he ate right down to the bone, he even ate most of the cartilage. I did not clean mine up quite that well. But I digress, the market has its share of beggars, but mostly just people who want to sell things. By about 2 in the afternoon the place is just a mass of people. Cars still don't slow down that much. I am surprised that there hasn't been a number of accidents, but so far I haven't seen one.
The last two days for lunch, we have stopped by a supermarket and bought sandwich fixings. Because of the cost of meat and cheese, probably spent about $25 for a loaf of bread and 300 grams of Swiss and salami. I would have needed at least double the amount to feed my hungry crew. This is why Didier said they subsist on rice, beans, and vegetables. The meat is much more expensive and is not as good. That reminds me, two things I am looking forward to when I get home is a steak and some ice cream. Also, something cold to drink would be nice, even water. We did have cokes at the restaurant the other night, they were cold but they did not have ice, and I splurged and bought an apple juice at the supermarket. I have tried to buy Didier the dried meats and cheeses, but the sandwiches are the best I have managed so far. Well it is about 10 pm, generator is out and Kiffanie is sleeping, so I think I will crash.
I know that my thought are in a random jumbled fashion, but I hope you are sifting through it ok and getting a little bit of what life is like here.
Love you all muchly,
Sent from my iPad
First meal home; steak, icecream and an iced beverage of his choice!

Simon Pegg Reacts to 'Star Trek Beyond' Trailer: "I Didn't Love It"
Simon Pegg has a message for longtime fans who weren't wowed by the first trailer for next year's Star Trek Beyond: The final movie will be less Beastie Boys and more true to the show.
"I didn't love it because I know there's a lot more to the film," the actor — who also co-wrote the screenplay for Beyond — told British website HeyUGuys when asked about the trailer. "There's a lot more story and a lot more character stuff and a lot more what I would call 'Star Trek stuff.' "
"I found it to be surprising," said Pegg of the trailer's "very action-packed" tone. "I found it to be the marketing people sort of saying, 'Everybody come and see this film, it's full of action and fun,' when there's a lot more to it than that. … You know, they've got to bring a big audience in, they've got to bang a drum. To the Star Trek fans out there, I'd say, 'Hang in there, be patient.' "
They won't have to be patient for too much longer; Star Trek Beyond opens July 22, 2016.

My first half marathon, my second only race, the 2011 Bupa Great Birmingham Run (Half Marathon) was a challenge. I struggled at around 8 miles for the rest of the run but I shall talk about that in a minute, previous to that it was the greatest and hardest experience of my life. I loved every second of it though.
Starting with 15,000 people there was a buzz, doing the communal warm-ups before we were called to the front, through a squeezing barrier and then we were off. Running down part of Broadstreet, through the back of the bull ring, into Digbeth and out onto the Pershore road. This was one long road, lots of lovely noise provided by bands until we got to chocolate production heaven that is Cadbury on the other side. Round Bournville which looked for all intense and purpose like the whole suburb had come out to the support us runners (I love Bournville) at this point I was overtaken by two people dressed as elvis which was a little shock. Down from Bournville back on to the Pershore road, passed the halfway stage. This was all fine, I was in a rhythm and then a massive stabbing pain at mile 8 hit me I ground to a halt.
My chest had a massive stabbing pain across it, I decided it was best to walk and see whats what, eventually it subsided and I could run about 400metres without it hurting then I would have to stop. I had to the do this until the very end of the race. Until I got to the last mile and then I decided to just run the whole lot, by the end I was in agony, I was crying with pain my chest was hurting so much but I got through it and I felt better for it (Once I had recovered!.)
I will be back next year, fit and healthy! (hopefully.)
From my target of £200 – I have reached nearly £390 for the Alzheimer's Society and I am overwhelmed by the amount. Thank you to everyone! I would like to make it £400 just to round it off nicely – please donate: http://www.justgiving.com/Ross-Hetherington

Started in a college dorm by Mark Zuckerberg and some of his roommates in 2004, Facebook has rapidly exploded to become the world's most widely used social networking site, captivating one-sixth of the entire world's population. Facebook's mission is to give people a platform to be more connected and open with others. Facebook experienced a number of major milestones that helped put it on its road to success.
In February 2004, Facebook officially opened, yet was available only to Harvard students. It then became public for anyone in the U.S. to join in September 2006, and opened up for other countries within the same year. In September 2008, Facebook became integrated into the iPhone and its first app was launched. The "like" and "share" buttons were installed in Facebook in 2010 and in July of the same year, Facebook reached 500 million users. Finally, in October 2012, Facebook attained 1 billion users with more users continuing to join.
There are many factors to be considered regarding how Facebook became so successful so quickly, three of which include its layout, global reach, and the virtual empathy it creates between users. Design is the first factor as to why users are initially attracted to Facebook and what has brought it on its road to success. Facebook is clean, simple, organized and easy to use. The founders intentionally made Facebook to have easy access; they followed Google's example of simplicity because they saw how effective it was. A newcomer could quickly set up an account and navigate through with little trouble. The organized layout puts a focus on personal experiences and helps one to engage in the lives of his or her friends.
Secondly, Facebook's reach is what makes it equally as popular. People from all over the world can become synchronized and connected with one another through the same platform of sharing and disseminating information.
Facebook began promoting its site worldwide as early as 2006, when the founders opened this site to the entire public. In a span of a year after launching this cause, the number of Facebook users age 15 and older jumped 72 percent to 114.1 million worldwide, according to comScore, Inc.
Users around the world were helping to translate Facebook into their own languages. Facebook installed a translating app in 2008 and nearly 10,000 volunteers were used to help translate the site into French, Spanish, and German. The translation app then opened to everyone so that it could be translated into any major language around the world.
Facebook became so successful globally that in 2012 there were only seven countries where Facebook was not the most popular social networking site. According to Facebook, 81 percent of its users at that time were outside of the U.S. and Canada.
In North America, 46.6 percent of people use Facebook, Western Europe has 35.7 percent, Latin America has almost 30 percent, Central and Eastern Europe have almost 25 percent, the Middle East and Africa have 11 percent, and Asia has 7.1 percent of people using Facebook, according to the research firm eMarket.
Thirdly, Facebook creates "virtual empathy" between its users. Dr. Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University at Dominguez Hills, uses this phrase to describe Facebook as an outlet where people can have the ability to understand or share in someone else's emotional state. Facebook is a huge platform for users to share information they found on the web that is funny, touching, educational, shocking, and everything in between. Not only has it become the predominant way of disseminating information, users have grown accustomed to sharing their lives on it as well. By posting pictures, updating statuses, making comments, and engaging others through the like or share button, Facebook has become a way of building an emotional connection with others.
With the introduction of the like and share buttons, Facebook was able to attain more referral traffic according to Shareaholic. The like and share buttons are pressed over 22 billion times daily on over 7.5 million websites. Sites such as news stations, blogs, and YouTube will almost always have a link that allows one to share content on Facebook. The number of times content is "liked" or "shared" shows society's desire to spread ideas to each other and to participate in the online community.
Jason Mathis is an example of how vital Facebook has become in sharing one's life with another. Mathis served in the army and during one of his deployments to Afghanistan, his wife Kembra was pregnant. Luckily, he was able to have ample Internet access at his base and left his Facebook open all day. According to what he shared on Facebook, he constantly checked in to see updates on the baby and watched the photos or status updates his wife put up.
Through this site he was able to virtually participate in seeing the baby's first breath and first time Kembra held the boy. Mathis' experience rings true of Facebook's social mission to give people the power to share and to make the world a more open place. From its core, Facebook's goal to help people connect and the unique resources it offers to get people to do so remains a primary reason it has been able to pave its way effortlessly along the road of success.

In Inside/Out, Rob Tregenza's third feature in a career launched by the formidable Talking to Strangers (1988), the filmmaker again mounts a rigorous challenge to cinematic orthodoxy in this profound work of beauty and consequence.
Against the barren wintry backdrop of a psychiatric hospital, inpatients and authority figures drift through turgid psychological states. We meet the artist Jean and his lover Monica, patients of the facility, and several characters circling its periphery: a guard, an Episcopalian priest, and a church organist. Minimalizing dialogue and plot intricacy, Tregenza concedes only kernels of information, demanding that the viewer breathe dimensionality into his archetypes. Acting out primal instincts of lust, envy, fear, and love, subjects teeter vulnerably on the brink of sanity and insanity, freedom and repression in their attempts to navigate their existence.
In Inside/Out, Tregenza bravely ventures into familiar metaphorical terrain in dramatizing the institutionalized repression of abnormality and deviance. Deliberately blurring distinctions, he begs the questions: Who is inside, who is outside, and who is truly free? However, in the resilience of the human spirit and its passions, the filmmaker locates some cause for optimism, suggesting that in these forces one may find brief respite from the persistence of want. Tregenza uses masterful camerawork to draw our attention to the subjectivity of the lens, shifting its/our perspective from voyeuristic inquirer, to omnipotent purveyor, to engaged participant. It is through these marvelous oscillations that we, too, are propelled on the journey inside/out and outside/in.
Rob Tregenza, Director
Rob Tregenza has written, directed, and photographed three feature films: Talking to Strangers (1998), The Arc (1991), and Inside/Out (1997). In 1982 he earned a Ph.D. in theatre arts from UCLA. Tregenza is also the president of Cinema Parallel, a theatrical distribution company that specializes in United States and Canadian distribution of international and "dependent" films.

A single spark in SABAH could start a prairie fire
27 July 2012: Although it is now the holly fasting month of Ramadan, the political arena of Sabah is not calm at all. Instead, it is brewing a tide of resignations.
United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) deputy president and Tuaran MP Datuk Wilfred Bumburing, as well as Umno supreme council member and Beaufort representative Datuk Lajim Ukin are expected to announce this Sunday their withdrawal from the BN.
It is also said that they would join the Pakatan Rakyat.
They are holding high party positions and Lajim is even the Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister. There must be reasons for them to "sacrifice" the established interests and join the alternative coalition.
It is heard that Lajim has not been getting well with state Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, while Wilfred is dissatisfied with the BN. Wilfred advocates that Upko should leave the BN, but leaving the Sabah BN is very likely to lose the opportunity of being fielded in the next general election.
They have a certain level of influence in their respective constituencies. However, it is still not enough to shake the BN.
Previous failures
In fact, DAP Parliamentary Leader Lim Kit Siang had made a prophecy on December 24, 2011 that a huge political change would emerge in Sabah within 24 to 72 hours.
On April 20 this year, Pakatan Rakyat leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahims also pointed out that a major event would take place in Sabah within one or two weeks, in which a number of leaders would come forward to help the Pakatan Rakyat make its way towards Putrajaya.
However, their prophecies were not fulfilled at that time. Some even ridiculed them.
At the end of last year, it was rumoured that Upko president Tan Sri Bernard Dompok had met the alternative coalition, but it was later denied by Bernard himself.
In addition, a rumour was triggered after Wilfred gave up to be reelected as the BN Tuaran chairman, but joined the Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah-led NGO Angkatan Amanah Merdeka (Amanah).
Musa Aman brickwall
Why no action has been taken so far by BN's central leaders, after the Pakatan Rakyat spread the news? Could it be because they take it as another false alarm like the September 16 regime change claim?
It is speculated that the BN might have taken action spending months to negotiate. However, the negotiation failed due to Musa Aman's tough stand.
Lajim disclosed an inside story that he had met the Prime Minister for four times since December 20 last year. He had also told the Deputy Prime Minister and senior ministers in the Cabinet about the changes needed by Sabah Umno and BN. However, his view was not taken seriously.
It showed that Musa Aman is an assertive leader. Among Musa, Lajim and Wilfred, the BN chose the former. Musa, after all, receives greater support in Sabah compared to the other two.
Don't underestimate: A single spark could start a prairie fire
At this very sensitive moment, deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's visit to Sabah this Saturday might be related to the matter. However, based on the Sabah's interest-first political characteristic, a day trip might not be able to change anything.
It is expected that the Sunday's tide of resignation would not set a great blow to the BN. However, if the Pakatan Rakyat make use of the BN's infighting to strengthen the alternative coalition's force or form a new front, the alternative coalition might be able to win six to eight parliamentary seats in the coming general election.
It is estimated that if the Pakatan Rakyat is able to make a breakthrough in the four "fixed deposit" states of the BN, namely Sabah, Sarawak, Johor and Pahang, and increase its number of seats from the existing five to 32, it would then have the opportunity to take over the federal government.
Therefore, do not underestimate a single spark, as it could start a prairie fire.
It is another political drama for the people of Sabah and the real fun is yet to come!

The Hamptons Services
Services neighborhood
Barton & Gray
Though not quite as fast as a helicopter or a private jet, a membership with Barton and Gray gets you unlimited, year-round access to a fleet of tricked-out, fully staffed yachts. In summer, this means stops in Martha's Vineyard, the Hamptons, Nantucket, and more; winter harbors include Miami, Sarasota, and numerous islands. Annual fees are steep—like 30k-to-start steep.
It's certainly not cheap, but this App lets you book a seat on a helicopter out to the Hamptons—or, you can just book the whole thing and crowdsource the seats to others, if there isn't a flight at the time you need to take off. If inclement weather persists, they'll drive you to your destination in a Cadillac. Hilarious.
Bridgehampton Florist
2400 Main St., Bridgehampton
For most, florals are a deeply personal matter of taste, and it takes a thorough, skilled florist to nail it every time. Luckily, this beloved flower-and-gifts shop has two: owners Michael Grim and Jim Osburn. While they'll gladly put together a beautiful monotone bouquet, their specialty is color—think violet and fuchsia orchids, magenta roses, and ombre hydrangeas—which they deftly apply to arrangements and centerpieces of every size and style.
Driver On Tap
With houses so spread out and few drivers available, it's no secret that hailing an Uber is an imperfect science in the Hamptons. But App DriverOnTap is an ingenious solution to that problem: Their drivers can be summoned via the App at any hour, but instead of picking you up in their car, they'll drive you home in yours. The whole process is surprisingly seamless, and offers a brilliant workaround when you've had one too many but the car is parked somewhere it shouldn't stay overnight.
Farm-to-Fete, delivered
Since 2015, Lexi Ritch and Louisa Young have gained a following on the Hamptons with the launch of their farm-fresh (and vintage chic) food truck business, Hamptons Aristocrat. Now the health-conscious duo is upping the ante by delivering their locally sourced recipes directly to our doors. Farm-to-Fete, delivered offers a full menu of ready-to-eat organic meals served on custom wooden boards. With a menu fit for all diets, the service caters to a variety of summer events, from intimate dinner parties to weddings and holiday fetes.
Fly The Whale
In 35 minutes, Fly the Whale can take you from the heart of Manhattan to Montauk, East Hampton, or Westhampton for around $535. Better yet: their amphibious planes take off and land on the East River.
GoGreen Ride
This NYC-based membership service functions kind of like a traditional car service, but greener: In addition to GoGreen's hybrid-only fleet, they go as far as purchasing carbon credits to ensure carbon neutrality. Booking happens via their gloriously simple App, which has options for instant car requests, future scheduling, and by-the-hour bookings—a godsend when trying to bang out multiple errands when back in the city.
Gotham Air (Closed)
For about $400 each way, this helicopter ride-sharing service will get you from the city to East Hampton (or Nantucket, or Martha's Vineyard) in less than an hour. What separates Gotham from other Uber-esque operations is that you can charter a single seat as opposed to the entire helicopter. At a price, they'll even organize a flight from Manhattan to any local airport in as little as 20 minutes.
Hampton Hopper
[email protected]
It's notoriously difficult to get around the Hamptons, as taxis are few and far between and Ubers aren't as reliable as we'd like. Given those facts, Hampton Hopper has the potential to be a major game-changer. Their buses are on a loop from Hampton Bays to Montauk and back (there's an express service, too), and the buses can be tracked live on their App, so you'll know exactly when they're arriving. It's $20 for a full-day pass—which, when you think about the price of cabs around these parts, sounds awfully reasonable.
Hampton Jitney
Catching the iconic green-and-white bus at any of the numerous pick-up points in the city and then suffering through hours of LIE traffic with fellow riders is a pretty iconic New York experience. And while it's not the most time-conscious way of getting to the Hamptons, it is the most economical (on average, a ticket will run you $30) and has the potential of being the most fun, too, especially if socializing is at the top of your weekend to-do list.

Funeral for a Friend
Zigelen, 27-28, Esevelen, 1 | (6-9 June)
The party arrived in Türos Luln and sought out the services of a Dead House, a temple dedicated to the goddess Calefa and ran by the Sisterhood of Mourning. The party made arrangements to give Atticus his last rites with the Sisters. During the meeting with the Gray Sisters, the elven twins managed to upset the Grey Sisters, who sequestered them for a private chat.
While the brothers were being questioned by the Sisters, the rest of the party went out on the town to celebrate the life of the friend they had lost. It was during the drunken revelry that Vilhelmus lost his cousin, Ivanova, who was taken by a slaver. A spirited pursuit took place in the middle of town and the slaver managed to escape.
Vilhelmus and Lozen, searched in vain but could not find Ivanova anywhere. Ivanova who had been rendered unconscious had been taken on board a trading ship,_ Sinbad's Revenge_, moored at the docks. The captain and his crew had been busy; they had a ship full of young women that they intended to sell to the harems of Zanzibar.
Ivanova, who had been unconscious for a while awoke to find herself at sea. She was in the captain's cabin stripped naked and tied to a bed. She quickly realized her predicament and she was not having any of this. She managed to untie herself and secured herself clothing and a weapon from the captain's sea chest. There was a guard standing sentry outside the cabin, who Ivanova expertly dispatched.
When the captain came to sample his newest acquisition, she promptly gutted him and cut off his head. She then marched out onto the deck with captain's head in hand and in her full divine glory cowed the entire crew of the ship. In a day she was back at the docks of Tǘros Luln. She then freed the girls being held hostage and the crew scurried off to the darkest corners of the docks.
Ivanova then reunited with her cousin who she then presented the ship too. At this time the twins rejoined the party. Together they renamed the ship the Winged Lion. The rest of the week involved making preparation to kill Agrippa and last rites for Atticus.
Then a dwarf showed up………

Off my pump for a while.
So my numbers weren't great, pump supplies were expensive and the scaring on my stomach wasn't good. So I said "forget it" and went off the pump. Been off for about 4 or 5 days now. So far it isn't that bad. I feel a lot more confident not wearing my pump and feel more in control. Had anyone else ever felt like coming off the pump? I was thinking about it for quite a while then decided to just go ahead and do it!
8 replies
Well, tell me what your A1c is the next time you are tested. As for always being either high or low regarding blood sugars when on the pump, it sounds like either your basal rates were not calculated properly or your carb to insulin ratio was off. Personally, I have been on the pump for about 14 years and would not even consider being without my pump.
I come off the pump every summer. I lie the break of having this thing attached to me 24/7, I like the break in the cost, and I get lazy if I stay on the pump to long. I go back on the pump in the fall and use it all winter. I think a loong pump holiday every now and then is good. Being off the pump just take more attention but it is doable.
I came off my pump over a week ago. Same reasons. My numbers are much better and I am getting back on track. I am also feeling more confident too. I do have my moments where I wonder if I did the right thing. I think so but time will tell. My blood sugars are doing pretty good now so I think that insulin pens may be the right thing for me.
Are your numbers better off the pump? I have heard they are so much better than manually doing it. I am curious.
So far my numbers are pretty darn good! :P With the pump they were either constantly low are constantly high… It's not for everyone I guess. Who knows maybe one day I will go back to my pump

The Creole cottage of John James Audubon, by Folk artist Andrew LaMar Hopkins
The Creole cottage of John James Audubon a painting I did for a local show in a French Quarter gallery that carries my paintings was done almost last minute. I was told months in advance by the Gallery owner to put aside some of my period room interior paintings for the October show. Then a little less then a month before the show I was called and told that the October show had a bird theme. She said I don't like to tell Artist what to paint but! I thought why not incorporate birds into my interior paintings. By painting the New Orleans Gallery/Living space of the greatest Bird painter in the World, That just happen to live in New Orleans French Quarter. This is how the painting "The Creole cottage of John James Audubon" came about.
The first place Audubon rented in New Orleans French Quarter was a Creole Cottage owned by a free woman of color on Barrack street. It was not clear if he rented the whole cottage or half of it. The space came with a wisher woman/housekeeper.

Incorporating Audubon into my interior painting had been something I wanted to do for some time. So when I got the call from the Gallery owner I knew just what to paint. When you live in New Orleans Louisiana and are a Historical Folk artist, history painting incorporating local famous persons is endless as Louisiana's rich history is so rich,different and colorful from the rest of America.
What people don't know is I don't just paint a painting I do a lot of research for all of my painting most of the time before I pick up a paint brush. This was the same with the Audubon painting. Audubon kelp a daily journal that he wrote in almost every day. To get a better ideal of what his living space might have looked like I read his New Orleans years 1820-1822. During this time Audubon lived in three locations in the French Quarter.

John James Audubon (Jean-Jacques Audubon) (April 26, 1785 – January 27, 1851) was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. He was notable for his expansive studies to document all types of American birds and for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their natural habitats. His major work, a color-plate book entitled The Birds of America (1827–1839), is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Audubon identified 25 new species.

On October 12, 1820, Audubon started into Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida in search of ornithological specimens. He traveled with George Lehman, a professional Swiss landscape artist. The following summer, he moved upriver to the Oakley Plantation in the Felicianas, where he taught drawing to Eliza Pirrie, the young daughter of the owners. Though low paying, the job was ideal, as it afforded him much time to roam and paint in the woods. (Located at 11788 Highway 965, between Jackson and St. Francisville, the plantation is now the Audubon State Historic Site.) Audubon called his future work Birds of America. He attempted to paint one page each day. Painting with newly discovered technique, he decided his earlier works were inferior and re-did them. He hired hunters to gather specimens for him. Audubon realized the ambitious project would take him away from his family for months at a time.

Audubon moved to France as a boy due to the rising unrest in Saint-Domingue from African slaves. As a young man living in France Audubon grew up to be a handsome and gregarious man. He played flute and violin, and learned to ride, fence, and dance. A great walker, he loved roaming in the woods, often returning with natural curiosities, including birds' eggs and nests, of which he made crude drawings.

Audubon sometimes used his drawing talent to trade for goods or sell small works to raise cash. He made charcoal portraits on demand at $5 each and gave drawing lessons. In 1823 Audubon took lessons in oil painting technique from John Steen, a teacher of American landscape, and history painter Thomas Cole. Though he did not use oils much for his bird work, Audubon earned good money painting oil portraits for patrons along the Mississippi. (Audubon's account reveals that he learned oil painting in December 1822 from Jacob Stein, an itinerant portrait artist, and after they had enjoyed all the portrait patronage to be expected in Natchez, Mississippi during January–March 1823, they resolved to travel together as perambulating portrait-artists.)

After reading Audubon's journal to get a since of what his living space might have looked like. It was hard to come up with a ideal of what his living spaces might have looked like as he talked about birds 90% of the time. Audubon live and had his studio in 3 different places in the French Quarter. The first place Audubon rented was a Creole Cottage owned by a free woman of color on Barrack street. It was not clear if he rented the whole cottage or half of it. The space came with a wisher woman/housekeeper. It was also not clear if this space was furnished or not but it might have been. Audubon did not get along with his landlord the Free woman of color. IN June of 1821 Audubon and his pupil assistant, John Mason left New Orleans and traveled upriver to the Puritan influence region of St. Francisville to take a job at Oakley Plantation.

Audubon wore typical frontier clothes and moccasins "and a ball pouch, a buffalo horn filled with gunpowder, a butcher knife, and a tomahawk on his belt.
Audubon had great respect for Native Americans: "Whenever I meet Indians, I feel the greatness of our Creator in all its splendor, for there I see the man naked from His hand and yet free from acquired sorrow." Audubon also admired the skill of Kentucky riflemen and the "regulators", citizen lawmen who created a kind of justice on the Kentucky frontier. In his travel notes, he claims to have encountered Daniel Boone.

Arriving at Oakley Plantation on June 18, 1821, the young aspiring naturalist John James Audubon wrote: "The rich magnolias covered with fragrant blossoms, the holly, the beech, the tall yellow poplar, the hilly ground and even the red clay, all excited my admiration." Audubon's stay at Oakley lasted only four months, but he painted 32 of his famous bird pictures here and developed a love for the beautiful West Feliciana Parish. Mrs. Lucy Pirrie brought the young Audubon to Oakley as a tutor for her daughter, Eliza. The arrangement required that Audubon spend half his time teaching drawing to Eliza, but he was otherwise free to roam the woods and work on his naturalistic paintings. For this Audubon was to receive 60 dollars a month plus room and board for himself and his 13-year-old pupil assistant, John Mason. His teacher-artist arrangement was short-lived due to a misunderstanding with Mrs. Pirrie. Only four months after his arrival, Audubon returned to New Orleans.

Upon his return Audubon rented a "chamber garnie" Furnish room on Rue Saint Ann No 29 for $16 a month. Within a month or two Audubon's wife and boys were arriving in New Orleans and he rented a Creole Cottage located at 509 Dauphine street for $17 a month. Audubon made good money in New Orleans as a artist. He charged $2 a hour for drawing lessons, The higest in New Orleans at the time and charcoal portraits on demand at $5 each also the highest priced in the city. Audubon talked about other artist in the city of New Orleans not liking him. Audubon was a Creole from Haiti but he told local Creoles that he was born on a plantation near Mandeville to mask his illegitimate birth.

My painting "The Creole Cottage of John James Audubon" Shows the most famous last home and studio of Audubon. The early 19th century Creole Cottage located at 509 Dauphine street in the French Quarter. This Cottage is still standing and is a high end hotel now. In this cottage Audubon talks about getting it ready for his wife and children. Audubon does not go into detail about the furnishings of this house but he did compare his earlier humble lodging with the fine furnishings at Oakley plantation. He said that most of his furniture was painted compared to the fine polished Mahogany of Oakley plantation. He was talking about the first cottage he rented that might have already been furnished. Because we really don't know how Audubon's studio/home was furnished I have to guess and use with little clues I have to go on. The Dauphine street house would have been different because he was getting it ready for his family.

I think much of the furnishing for the Dauphine street cottage would have been bought by Audubon second had and would have been 20 plus years old. Most of the art and decoration would have been done by Audubon himself to save money and to show off his talent. Over the sofa we have Thomas Sully gilt framed watercolors of Audubon's birds. The most famous being the American Flamingo. Over the watercolors mounted on the wall is a large sea Tortoiseshell and two taxidermy ducks. Audubon learn modern taxidermy from Charles-Marie D'Orbigny in France in 1805. Charles-Marie improved Audubon's taxidermy skills and taught him scientific methods of research. Scattered around the room are taxidermy birds under glass domes as well as live birds in cages. The plaster walls of this room is painted indigo blue a popular color made from Louisiana's indigo industry. The only up to date piece of furniture in the room is the Federal sofa New York circa 1820 flanked by a pair of early 19th century painted fancy end tables, one holding a goldfish bowl. The drapery cornice over the window is also painted and gilded with a Neoclassical patterned painted on it. One of the finest pieces of furniture in the room would be the American Federal satin wood and mahogany Secretary Desk Bookcase circa 1800. Under the window is a mahogany American Federal card table with eagle support circa 1805. On the sisal woven rug we have a 18th century Creole walnut Cabriole leg table with Hurricane globe, brass candlestick, playing cards, green glass wine bottle, wine glass and clay pipe on the table top. A red leather 18th century Campeche chair. A graceful emblem of plantation society in the Americas, the Campeche chair is characterized by a lateral nonfolding curule base and a reclining back and seat made of embossed leather. And a early 19th century red leather American Federal arm chair. The mixture of American East Coast Federal furniture with local French Creole furnishings would have appealed to his Anglo-Sexton and Creole clients.

Audubon died in New York on January 27, 1851, at sixty-six years of age.
Today he is, after La Fayette, the best known Frenchman in the United States, and his portrait hangs in the White House. A symbol of American ecology, he gave his name to one of the most important nature conservancy organisations in the USA, "The Audubon Society." Created in 1886, the society is headquartered in the heart of Manhattan and has more than 500,000 members.

#1 Gonzaga vs. #11 Xavier
Saturday 6 pm EST, TBS
Player to Watch: Przemek Karnowski
The polish senior big man has had a huge season for the Zags averaging 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. He has a variety of post moves and his experience could give him the edge that Lauri Markkanen did not have against the Musketeers. Xavier is very thin inside so Karnowski has a matchup advantage that must be exploited to knock off the Cinderella team.
X Factor: Stopping Trevon Bluiett
Trevon Bluiett has been a monster for Xavier in the tournament. If Gonzaga wants to win this game they will need to slow him down. The troubling thing is that Mark Few does not have a perfect matchup to put on Bluiett. The Bulldog backcourt could keep with Bluiett but at 6'5 Bluiett could easily shoot over them. The front court could block some shots but Bluiett could blow right by them. The Zags must stop Bluiett to come out on top.
Player to Watch: Trevon Bluiett
As mentioned above Bluiett has been an animal this tournament. With Michigan and Derrick Walton getting knocked off, Bluiett becomes the most important player left in the tournament. Without Bluiett Xavier is dead in the water. Bluiett has cashed in point totals of 21, 29, and 25 in the Musketeers tournament games thus far. On the season he is averaging 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists. All eyes will be on him as the game gets late on Saturday.
X Factor: Crowd Control
I was greatly impressed with the number of Xavier fans that made the trip to San Jose. That is not exactly an easy trip for a Thursday night game. The majority of the fans at the Elite 8 will be Gonzaga fans. There will be a ton of Arizona fans selling their tickets that will surely get gulped up by Gonzaga fans. Xavier can control the crowd by not allowing any major runs and responding to Gonzaga big plays with buckets of their own. Once the crowd gets rolling it can be tough to stay poised and execute your game plan.
Prediction: Gonzaga 75, Xavier 70
I keep picking against Xavier and they keep winning. Either team winning is a great story for the Final Four but Gonzaga is too talented and experienced to not get over the hump into the Final Four.

Excuse: Prevention and Cooperation
How do you decide who's performance goes first when it is between a contractor and the demand for payment.
Sullivan v. Bullock
• The contractor would have to perform first because his performance takes longer
• She does not have to pay him until he is finished. Since it is a condition precedent she does not owe him a dime unless he does everything correctly.
• Why might we excuse his failure to perform correctly?
• The Court of Appeals, Walters, C.J., held that: (1) finding that contractor had not substantially performed under contract, but that homeowner unreasonably prevented contractor's performance, was supported by evidence; (2) award of damages in full amount of contract price to contractor was erroneous; (3) evidence did not support portion of damages awarded to contractor for electrical work not originally contemplated in contract; (4) substantial evidence supported finding that contractor did not breach contract to remodel home; (5) instruction on issue of prevention was adequate and; (6) evidence of bills from subcontractors submitted to homeowner was irrelevant.
prevetion excuses non-performance
Excuse: Prevetion and Cooperation
What if there is an express condition that is met but you caused it to happen? Is it still an excuse?
If there is a clause in the contract that says "that sangawure could dismiss the subcontractor if Pointdexter Plumbing became insolvent?" This is an express condition. However, S itself had financial problems, leading it to be late on several progress paymentsit was required to pay P Plumbing. This than caused PP to become insolvant. He is insolvent but this condition can be excused because you are responsible for it. It is different from the Sullivan case because the Sullivan case is a condition precedent this is an express condition.
Excuse: Prevention and Coooperation
Whar if you were hired for permenat employment and then were fired because someone didn't like you. Could you sue?
o Permanent employment does that mean that you don't have to be fired. It means full time and more benefits than part time.
o Does employment in will force the employer to act in good faith.
o There can be no breach of the implied covenant of good faith if a party is only doing what it is entitled to do under the contract provisions. Occasionally, courts find that the breach of the implied covenant of good faith gives fries to remedies for a breach of the good faith obligations itself.
o The duty of good faith does not give rise to an independent cause of action but only to a right to defend against a party's own failure to perform
Prevention and excuse:
What does good faith have to do with Prevention and cooperation?
They are closly related when one party actively attempts to ruin a contractioal relationship the court may find a material breach of an implied promise (covenant): a not to prevent the other party from performing; to cooperate in ensuring performnace is achieved; Or to act in good faith. The boundaries of good faith are generally defiend by the parties intent and reasonable ex[ectatopms in entering into the K.
Prevention and excuse:
Good Faith Rule
The good faith rule does not give rise to an independent cause of action, but only a right to defend against a party's own failure to preform, that is because of the brach of the implied condition of good faith the party argues that its own obligatino was excused. It give you the availability to defend against own performance.
Forfeiture as an excuse:
Burger King
Burger King Corp. v. Family Dining
• Bk says that they are not going to negotiate on the exclusivity of the contract.
1. If you build 10 restaurants over 10 years you get 80 years of exclusivity. (Condition precedent in which you activate the duty)
2. You get 90 yrs of exclusivity unless you fail to build 10 restaurants on schedule in which case you lost the exclusivity. (Condition subsequent)
o The court considers this to be a condition subsequent. If we say that we are going to excuse your failure to do it on time.
o This case is not only a forfeiture case it is also a waiver case bottom of 730. The question arises whether BK has precluded itself from asserting Family Dining's untimeliness on the basis that BK hid not demand literal adherence to the development .
o There is a waiver .. Based on the foregoing the Cort concludes that BK is not entitled to have the condition protecting its promise sritckly enforces.
o Bottom of 731- a) will involve extreme forfeiture or penalty b) its existence or occurrence forms no essential part of the exchange for the promisor's performance
o Was meeting this contract material to this contract?
Excuse of a condition to avoid forfeiture
To the extent that the non-occurrence of a condition would cause disproportiante forfeiture, a court may excuse the non-occurrence of that condition unless its occurrence was a material part of the agreed exchange.
Excuse of a condition to avoid forfeiture:
What if at midnight before the renewal of a lease the lanlord refused thier orrfer to renew because they were turning the building into a parking lot.
The courts would argue that it is extreme and disproportionalte to throw them out on the street.
Excuse for Public Policy:
Is a provisions in a K, that makes written notice of a claim a condition precedent to recovery contrary to public policy?
In Inman v. Clyde drilling. It was an employment contract where the D argues that he was fired without justification and that was the breach of the K, and that he was entitled to damages for the breach of the K. The company argued that the D failed to give written notice of his claim as required by the K, was a bar to his action based on the K. That this was a required condition precedent to any recovery. The court says that notice should be a condition precedent to any recovery. The company did not to plead lack of notice as an affirmative defense but insteat that D was required to plead perfromance of the condition or that performance had been waived or excused.o The court admits that public policy might be an excuse. The legislature is the one who can enforce public policy.
o They say that it is not against public policy so you can not sue
o You might be able to argue that a particular condition would be against public policy
Waiver vs Estopple:
What is the difference?
Waiver and Estopple- you can only use waiver is restricted to conditions that are relatively minor. Estopple can be used for material and immaterial things. Waiver is passive conduct, estopple is overt conduct. Waiver it the voluntary relinquishment of a known right or benefit. People normally don't give up something that is material.
Estopple is a persons being precluded from insisting on a right because there conduct has somehow mislead or harmed the other party. Causing the other party to rely to their detriment. This kind of estopple is equitable.
If you can't use waiver and you don't have enough for estopple you can try to use that it was against public policy .If you want to reinstate a condition you must give reasonable notice before you insist on performance.
What are examples of Material Conditions?
o Real estate having clear and marketable title
o Insurance – you can't waive the requirement of a deceased dying. The causality that triggers the thing to pay that is material
o IN a K for sale – the payment of the purchase price is material
What are examples of immaterial conditions?
Immaterial Conditions
o Notice within a particular time.
o Payment within a particular time.
o Furnishing an architect certificate with regard to progress payments
For exam you are not given hints as to if it was material or immaterial conditions.
Example of Waiver:
The A's bought a car with a contract that said " time is of the esssence" and the failure to make payments was a ground for declaring a default and repossession. They were late on several payments and the car company repossessed the car? Can they do that?
a) would it matter if the car company always trew a fit and threatened to reposees? No because o Contract says that time is of the essence
o It is passive so it is an example of a waiver.
b.) what if it said that " acceptance of late payments shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to delcare a dfault because payments are not made as agreed; in spite of acceptance of such late payments, time remians of the essence? No you can waive this type of clause.
c.) What if the car company wanted to reinstate the time is of the essence clause? They couldn't but they could give reasonable notice of repossession.
Waiver and Estoppel:
Does acceptance of late payments waive the right of the creditor to repossess witout notice after subsequent late manyment defaults?
Some courts say no. Other's impose a duty on the creditor to notify the debtor that strict compliance with the time for payment will be required in the furite or else the K remebed may be invoked. The majority of the courts choose the later.
• Is this material or immaterial . it has to be immaterial they have to waive it. If there is a possibility they have to address the No-waiver clause. Some have said that you can waive others say that you can not.
• Middle 742- Deer wants no waiver.
• Majority says you can waive if you want to reinstate you have to give notice. This court adopts the majority pg. 742
• EXAM you need to distinquish between estopple and waiver. Debtor was arguing that creiditor should not be able to proceed because it would be unfair to allow the creditory to proceed without notice betwe debtor relied upon creditor's ignoring the late payments: esstopple. Such action may also show a waiver; the intentional relinquishment of a known right.
Waiver of constructive conditions vs. waiver of express conditions
- A constructive condition can be waived, even if it is a material par to fhte agreed exchange, since the injured party will still be conpensated for the breach.
- The concept of wavier, is restricted to conditions that are relatively minor. Parties can waive conditoni that are essentially procedual or technical, like furnishing of an architecht's certificates as a condition of the duty to make progress payments. Waiver is often invoked to excuse delay in the occurrence of a condition, the courts have been espectially receptive to claims that an insurer has waived the insured's delay in giving notice of loss.
Cox thinks this is worthless
- Problem 155
o Mr. and Mrs America- this is a condition precedent. You have 10 days to give a notice in writing. The telephone call came before. The Adjuster came after. Both the telephone call and the adjuster could be waiver. If the waiver comes after the factor event it is not called waiver it is called an election. (Don't know why)
What is it?
you need a fact or event that is unforeseen and unanticipated (unforeseen) which then would say what was to occur impossible. Impossibility o f performance can excuse the performanc eof conditions in the K. If this occurs the courts must adject the resulting contractual liabilities.
What if someone who was schedualed to perform falls ill and misses the subsequent practices. The producer hires someone new. She shows up an is ready to perform. The producer failed to give her her role back. Can she sue is he in breach for failing to give her her role back?
o She would be excused because she got sick.
o It is material because it was a new opera. If it was material he is excused from the breach
If there was a contract for someone to performs is full line of music but he didn't show up on time but 15 days later because he was sick? Can they cancel the K with him?
NO.. The performer can sue because his breach of the K was immaterial.
What is the difference between all three of these?
1) "Sports Facilities, Inc, hereby promise to complete the bobsled run by October 1, 2013
2) Unless the bobsled run is completed by October 1st, 2013, the City shall not be liable for any amount
3) "Sports Facilities, Inc., hereby promises to complete the bobsled run by Oct 1, 2013, and unless it does so the city shall not be liable for any amount
1- Promise
2- Condition
3- Promissory Condition

Oct 24, 2007 - The Associated Press
Going green could bring some new jobs
to North Carolina.
That was the conclusion of a report
presented Tuesday to a legislative panel, which heard
that the state could net 300,000 more jobs by 2020
by implementing energy efficiency programs and producing
more renewable energy.
The preliminary report is an attempt
to quantify the economic result of more than 30 policy
options suggested by an advisory committee established
to help lawmakers develop a global warming response
plan. All the recommendations of the Climate Action
Plan Advisory Group, if approved, would return the
state to 1990 levels of greenhouse gas emissions within
13 years.
The report, based on an economic model
the basis of which has been used by several other
states, found that following the recommendations would
create in North Carolina about 328,000 cumulative
annual net jobs by 2020 and generate $14.2 billion
in cumulative income.
But that's just a small percentage of
the 5 million jobs now in North Carolina that generate
$250 billion in income, said David Ponder, an Appalachian
State University graduate research assistant and report
"We see mildly positive impact, but
in terms of the scale of the economy, these are not
earth-shattering figures," Ponder told the Legislative
Commission on Global Climate Change. The commission
is meeting to recommend to the General Assembly whether
to create more policies to lower emissions.
The General Assembly this year ordered
electric utilities to generate 12.5 percent of their
power from alternative energy sources or through energy
savings by 2021.
Many of the new jobs would come from
within the agribusiness and waste industries, through
such recommendations as producing more ethanol and
biodiesel for fuel and trapping gas from animal manure
and landfills to generate electricity, the report
State Sen. Robert Pittenger, R-Mecklenburg,
a critic of global warming policies that he says would
stifle the nation's economy, questioned the value
of the report, given that it was based on the advisory
group's recommendations.
Pittenger and the conservative-leaning
John Locke Foundation held a news conference before
Tuesday's meeting to argue the outside consultant
that helped form the advisory group's suggestions
used "seriously flawed" methods.
Tom Peterson, executive director of
Center for Climate Strategies, the outside consultant,
defended its work while presenting the recommendations
to the legislative commission. He pointed out that
the center's staff has much experience in economics.

Positioning your business for a bite from the projected $1 trillion for 2020 in global e-commerce pie should be your next business agenda. Available report from Alibaba Group says the consumer populace turning to shopping online around the world is on the increase. The figure projects an increase in the use of the internet for consumer goods as well as for services. To benefit from the global consumer surge in online shopping, you will need to position your business to present a compelling offer to woo shoppers, make more conversion and sales and take a substantial cut of the pie. To achieve this important goal, you need the strategy to expand your e-commerce business internationally.
1. Select your market carefully
Just as the brick and mortar stores — where location can make a huge difference in business — ecommerce businesses also thrives with a carefully defined marketplace. There are marketplaces beyond Amazon and eBay that could expose your product to millions of new users.
Your e-commerce expansion strategy needs to target viable, international markets with the best chances of delivering a good return on your investment. Some factors must be considered as a part of this process, while it is equally important to remember that all international marketplaces are not created equal.
A good example is France that has a booming ecommerce industry. It has one of the largest online retailers is C discount offering over 15 million product from more than 8,500 sellers. If you doubt where to start from, consulting your international suppliers may give you lead because they understand the local market and know popular marketplaces in their regions.
2. Think global and local
For a successful market entry abroad, considering how to enter the global domestic market may be a good idea to develop. You will need a well-considered market entry and penetration strategy outside simple as applying an existing strategy to new regions.
For example, what works in North America may necessarily not resonate in Africa, Asia or Australia. You will need to personalize your strategy for each market you plan to enter with resounding success. Globalization offers the only way to build the market credibility and brand trust required to succeed on a global scale.
3. Consider Various International Methods of Payment
Entering a new world market must go with accepting new payment systems. Doing so is a major step to avert high rate of cart abandonment due to lack of acceptable payment system in your new market. Remember that the payment system will not only be acceptable, but it must also be secured as well.
- Research Local Buyers' Preferred Payment Methods
- Choose a reputable Payment Provider
4. Create great user experiences
It's important that your presentation must convey quality experience for the customers in the international marketplace for the most positive shopping experience ever! Don't be tempted to think of emerging markets as not mobile-ready, a report from KPCB's 2015 Internet Trends says otherwise with India recording over $6 billion sales on mobile in eCommerce.
Invest in responsive website design to accommodate all types of shoppers across all digital mediums. The general rule is to start with a mobile site first and later go for a desktop platform, instead of optimizing for mobile after you have built a slower-loading desktop site. Use an ecommerce website builder that is designed to make your customers experiences easy and pleasant. I know Shopify has good reputation for providing such a service, you should check it out.
Selling abroad is an adventure with the potential to transform your e-commerce venture and your ways of doing business. It promises better business exposure for you and your company to find new opportunities in the new countries to serve the customers culturally and otherwise. You don't have to fear going international as far as you did your homework and follow the tips discussed in this article.

I have taken to wasting my time with Sim City on my phone,called SCBuildIt. It's reminiscent of Sim City, that and warcraft. Here are some guidelines.
- Don't spend any real money
- Everything needs to connect to the road
- Some things spread goodness and others spread badness
- Distribute the sources, concentrate the sinks
- Understand the areas of the sources and sinks, allow them to influence your 'district' boundaries i.e. roads
- The cheapest is not necessarily the most effective per $$
- Time = Money, but if you're doing something else you can have the computer burn time for you
- As your factories and shops get more advanced the value of their product grows i.e. time generates more money, which is just as well
- Not so sure about time generating money, the more advanced commercial buildings consume more time expensive commodities.
- The commodities have a supply chain, raw materials, manufactured goods and consumer goods. Keeping the consumer factories busy is tricky since we don't get more supply side units.
- Later there would seem to be three value chains, building, food and consumer goods. They each consume raw materials differently although there is some cross over.
- Raw Materials are produced in parallel, value added goods in serial.
Has anyone calculated the best time to money process?
Some more comments,
- Building out the Heath Care centres was a pain (at Level 14), but my City was pretty low rise and thus had an overly high land foot print because I had not obey rule 4, see above.
- They have introduced time limited diary kickers, for Halloween and Xmas
- The xmas snow is pretty
This place looks quite useful.


text: All, We have an appllication vendor supplied database about 10Gb in size at the moment, 5gb of which seem to be indexes. There are currently about 125 indexes, 88 of which the Index Tuning Wizard says are not used at all (using a three hour Profile Trace from the busiest time - which includes T-SQL and Sproc events). Another 20 or so indexes are only used about 0.1% according to the Tuning Wizard. The database application is OLTP. The Index Wiards basically says drop most indexes, some tables have 10-14 indexes on them! Performance is rubbish, 900 user connections, new 4-way server cluster, SAN drives 16Gb RAM. No I/O bottlenecks. Would dropping these indexes be a good place to start. The application vendor doesn't want me to. Your thoughts please ladies and gents. Many thanks. mark

Mastering Linux, Backdoor'd, & openSUSE 13.1Nov 22, 2013, 13:00 (1 Talkback[s])
I recently sold my Linux news Website, but I can't stop the urge to link to interesting posts from around Linuxville. It feels like such a waste to read them and then just click the little corner "X." So, here are a few from the last couple of days. openSUSE 13.1 is getting good reviews, a couple nice advocacy posts appeared, and Linus' father confirms US government intentions are among the topics.

What is Red Shirt Friday?
What is "Red Shirt Friday"?
A Way to Show Support for Their Service
If you're like me, then Red Shirt Fridays are unknown to you, even though you probably have a relative or two who has served in the military. The act of wearing a red shirt on Fridays serves to honor our veterans and the service they've given our country, regardless of whether or not we support the war. Because I have both a grandfather and sibling who have served my country, I can totally get on board with showing my appreciation.
Last month, I had the privilege to work with the Student Veterans Organization at the University of Wyoming. I designed their logo as well as their promotional t-shirt. And in doing so, I've realized why it's important to occasionally switch out my brown and gold UW attire for red on Fridays!

If the story line for the new Ann Jillian movie for NBC, "Killer in the Mirror," sounds familiar, it should.
The two-hour mystery, which airs March 31, has Jillian as Karen, a struggling antique dealer, and her twin sister, rich and devious Samantha. After Samantha drowns, Karen assumes her identity as a wealthy widow--involving her in a murder her sister may have committed (that's the supposed premise, but beware of further twists).
It sounds a bit like "Dead Ringer" (1964), with Bette Davis as a twin who shoots the other and assumes her identity. Also "A Stolen Life" (1946), with Davis as a twin taking the other's place. Both were produced by Warner Bros., which co-produces "Killer in the Mirror." Although "Dead Ringer" was ostensibly an original, "A Stolen Life" was an acknowledged remake of the British "A Stolen Life" (1939)--with Elisabeth Bergner as the twins.
Still with us?
"Mirror" executive producer Jack Grossbart said his "initial concept was to do a remake of 'Dead Ringer,' a movie I had always loved. But everyone turned us down, saying 'Dead Ringer' was dated."

Just as in the rest of the world, the media industry in Japan is going through an increasingly rapid transformation due the arrival of new technologies such as smartphones and iPads, as well as the increasing popularity of new media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. Although Japan is at the forefront of this media revolution, it is important to realise that more traditional formats such as print newspapers are still very popular in Japan, and that Japan's media and information industries are strongly influenced by traditional Japanese culture. There are many unique cultural mores concerning media and news broadcasting which must be taken into consideration.

CEOs are people, too. They read publications other than The Wall Street Journal. And they spend more time online than the Luddite CEO stereotype suggests.
These are among the many conclusions drawn from two recent examinations of the media consumption habits of top executives. Both studies of C-level media habitsâone by Omnicom ad agency Doremus and the other by Forbes.comâmay have ramifications for how b-to-b marketers communicate with top management, a target that many believe grows in importance in times like these when budgets are tight.
With its Doremus Quotient, New York-based Doremus has developed a proprietary technique for analyzing media buys aimed at C-level executives. A key element of the DQ is a "passion index," which attempts to gauge where executivesâ passions lie outside of work, how deep these passions are and what media they spend time with to learn more about their interests.
"These guys do have some interests outside of work," said Hope Picker, director of research and planning for Doremus. "People reading a magazine about their hobbies spend more time than someone whoâs leafing through Fortune."
Christopher Philip, Doremus senior VP-media director, said the DQ reaches some contrarian conclusions about how best to reach CEOs and other top executives. For instance, the Mendelsohn Affluent Survey, which was conducted by Mendelsohn Media Research, placed Time Top Management, Fast Company and The Robb Report as its top three print publications in terms of top management composition and coverage. DQâs top three: Golf Digest, Garden Design and Food & Wine.
Similarly, Mendelsohnâs TV list indicates that the best way to reach top management is via the Golf Channel, CNN Headline News and CNBC. DQâs top three: CNN, ESPN and the Discovery Channel.
Of course, communicating with C-level executives via non-business media is nothing new. Xerox Corp. was a pioneer in b-to-b television advertising in the 1970s, and IBM Corp. and Southwest Airlines are two examples of b-to-b marketers that run spots on sports programming.
The DQ methodology includes analyzing syndicated research, a publicationâs own research, competitive factors (such as how willing a publication is to negotiate on ad rates), and Doremusâ own propietary research.
Doremus said its client Ace Group of Cos. has altered its ad placement in line with the DQ. The company, which previously advertised mainly on CNBC and CNN, added Discovery Channel, A&E, Bravo and other cable stations to its media mix. It is too early to gauge how well the expanded media placement is performing.
Internet-savvy execs
According to the study it conducted with GartnerG2 and Survey.com, Forbes.com would recommend that Ace also consider reaching C-level executives via the Internet. The Forbes.com study, which was released March 10, is called "A Day in the Life of CEOs Online." It indicates that the Web is a central medium used by executives, and the Internet appears to be a legitimate channel to reach them with marketing messages.
The online survey, which had 11,350 usable replies (3,865 of which were from C-level executives), queried managers about their daily online habits. Of the C-level executives who responded, 53% said they accessed the Web before work, while just 41% said they read a newspaper before work.
"We found that this audience was on the Web even before they leave the house in the morning," said Jim Spanfeller, president-CEO of Forbes.com. "The most astounding thing for me personally was that more were doing that than reading the newspaper."
Additionally, 82% of C-level respondents said they personally checked their e-mail before starting work. Moreover, 80% of the C-level respondents said they used search engines, and 58% said they did online research.
B-to-b marketers should be buoyed to know that 28% of C-level executives said they "read work-related promotional e-mails from marketers." Additionally, 48% said they clicked on online ads.
What should b-to-b marketers conclude from these findings? "The most efficient way to reach a senior business decision maker is through the Web," Spanfeller said.
However, the Forbes.com survey also found that during their daily commute, 56% of C-level executives listened to the radioâslightly more than the 53% who accessed the Web before work.

I am coming to Seattle in less than two weeks, and I am looking to have a very fine dining experience while I am there.
What I am doing is looking for recommendations on places to eat when I am there next (I am there 3-4 times a year).
The kinds of places that I am looking for would be on par with Per-Se in NYC, The French Laundry in Cali, and Alinea in Chicago.
Of course, if there are other must-have's, I'm open to those as well.
Thanks in advance.

1. Not PhoneGap targeted.jQuery Mobile is not targeting only for PhoneGap apps, instead, it's developed for mobile WEBSITES. The pages/scripts/resources are organized in a website way, not a native app way. Take pages navigation for an example, a web app navigates to another page by changing the URL, but for desktop/native apps, we new an instance and put it into a wrapper control, the wrapper has full control to the new page, and can receive events of the page, which is quite different from web apps. So, if you are using jQuery Mobile to develop PhoneGap apps, you are probably missing a good application architecture.
2. Too fat & bad performance.jQuery Mobile does provide very-very many controls/functions, but only a very small part of them are used in apps, which causes much waste of performance. I'd like to take a simple function for example, the scroll. As we know, most mobile browser cores don't support fixed position, so we have to write custom code to do it and handle the scrolling. jQuery Mobile writes a lot of code for this function, at the same time, a few related touch functions are also provided, but in most cases, the developers only need the scroll. In a word, jQuery Mobile handles too much things for a simple action.
3. Bad documentation.The jQuery Mobile documentation is not really documentation, but examples. Yeah, they are good examples, but absolutely bad documentation. Not all features are included in the examples, they missed many. This is quite hard for the developers. As some features are hidden from the developers, many developers have to write ugly code.
4. Critical bugs/issues not fixed.There are so many posts about jQuery mobile scrolling and page flashing. Unfortunately, I don't see a remarkable answer to their questions. I asked a few developers, they seem to have given it up, and leave the bug/issue as is.
- 1. Write your own javascript PhoneGap architecture if you are good at JavaScript. If you are not, you can follow me on codeplex where you can find PhoneGap architecture and demos.
- 2. Don not write future code. You don't need to write code that "may be used in future", instead, write code that is really used.
- 3. Resolve the critical bugs/issues by yourself. To make a good PhoneGap app, you must first be a JavaScript master, which means you can read others' code and find the best solution for best of your app.
- Follow my PhoneGap team on codeplex: http://cordova.codeplex.com/
- Contact my PhoneGap team for service, or any questions, ideas.

Here is day 31 of the 29 project too!
Day 31: Tuesday 22nd June - Little birds. A sweet package containing these sweet tweeters arrived today from lovely Sami of Teasemade! She stitched my bird drawings from my All You Need is Love card onto brooches and they are so beautiful. I have pinned them to this mini canvas I made a while back and hung it on our ever growing art wall, in this pic you can see another wonderful stitched pressie from Claire at Miso Funky and on the right a Gemma Correll original I picked up at the Soup Gallery...

A couple of weeks ago I got request for another set of prybars - one with stonewash finish and second one anodized. The design we came up with has 1/4'' bit wrench, bottle opener and milled slots for better grip.
For the first time I used my new device in the workshop, a carbidizer that we have built with my brother by combining Dremel engraving tool and DC power supply of our production.We use broken 3mm diameter carbide cutters as a source of tungsten carbide. Can't wait to use it for carbidizing cutting edges on titanium knives.
