curb your insanity
apple store
Originally uploaded by kristalynn.
i decided to take my old friend, let's call him cimabue, up on an offer to stay at his place. it's very central, convenient, and i could come and go as i please. i stayed there before, on his couch, with great success. i've known cimabue for about 12 years. we got along great, despite the age difference.
i arrived at his place at 11am.
"krista. i'm glad i was here. i thought you meant 11pm. i'm headed out. do you want to nap?"
"i didn't sleep at all last night..."
"take a nap! i just got a new duvet cover. it's flannel. you can sleep in my bed while i'm gone."
i took a nap while he was out. and then met a friend for drinks after work. i got back to cimabue's around 10pm. he brought me some sheets for the couch.
"krista," he cooed as we put the sheets on the couch, "you know you can sleep with me."
i looked at him.
"i won't touch you, i promise," he continued.
"i think i'd be more comfortable on the couch..."
"sleep in my bed."
"um, cimabue, i'd really be more comfortable sleeping on the couch."
"i tend to toss and turn."
"won't bother me. you'll love the new flannel duvet cover."
"i know, but cimabue, i'd really be more comfortable if i had my own space - a bit of privacy."
"oh yes. i understand." and with that he walked away.
only to return three minutes later. this time he had pouty, sad-man face.
"kristaaa... why won't you sleep with me?"
i sighed. not my idea of a vacation.
the next morning i got the silent treatment. AND it seemed i did everything wrong. i steamed up the bathroom too much, i fed the fish too much, i used too much time on the internet, and asked to use the phone when i clearly shouldn't have.
i returned that evening to him letting me in and him going straight to bed. the silent treatment deluxe.
the next morning, however, he was in fine form. so was i as i packed up. i was staying with a girlfriend that night.
"krista, look at my new shirt."
"krista, do you want to feed the fish?"
"krista, look at this letter from my lawyer."
"krista, don't stay at a hotel. that costs you money. you can come back here after tonight."
to which i replied, "nice", "sure", "look at the grammatical error", and "no thanks."
"well, how about working for me at the shoot on saturday? take some stills. i'll buy you dinner."
"i don't know, cimabue. i'm checking into the hotel on saturday and i really just kinda want to chill. you know, relax."
"you don't want to work for me because you're at a hotel."
"i'll let you know. how's that? i'll call you tomorrow."
the pouty face reared again. "so it's not a 'no'?"
"that's right. it's a 'maybe'."
"you're NOT working for him tomorrow," said my girlfriend after i recounted the story.
"no, i'm not." and we went back to watching dave chapelle.
the next morning i received an email with the subject field "my computer screen" from cimabue. this is what it read:
I have to tell you I am very angry. After you left, I went to my computer and noticed what appears to be a deep fingernail indentation in my new flat screen display. This was NOT there the evening before your arrival.
I did notice you point to the screen a number of times in my presence [ed. note: when i pointed out his ass of a lawyer's grammatical error] but I was not looking over your shoulder every second that you used my computer for your emails.
The curve of the arc of he indentation is clearly that of a nail. Please do not ask to stay with me in the future.
[name withheld]."
"are you fucking kidding me!?" asked my friend. "how LONG did he search his apartment for something to blame you for?"
"he's mad that i didn't want to work for him..."
"he's mad that you didn't want to SLEEP with him."
because i'm prone to the second guessing of myself, which is weird considering i didn't even touch his monitor, the next time i was at the apple store, i scratched my nail along the bottom corner of the new 24" imac.
nothing on the monitor. nothing left of the friendship.

Letters by My Great-grandfather
Published by Alyona Kalyanova
12 projects:
These glass letters are fragments from original letters by my grandmother's father, that he sent home during the World War II (The Great Patriotic War in USSR)). He went through the whole war from 1941 to 1945, but was killed while liberating Poland in February 1945, just two months before the Victory Day. My grandmother didn't know anything about his death (she just stopped getting letters from him) and was hoping to meet him alive for a long time. Only a few years later she got the last letter concerning him: an official document from the military administration which told "your father went missing in February 1945". In these glass letters all the phrases, my grandfather's handwriting (as well as his spelling mistakes) are original. I kept them as close to original as possible, just chose the most expressive quotes and structured them into a story. #image #crafts #finearts #handwriting #glass #letters

Word Origin for arrow
early 14c., from Old English arwan, earlier earh "arrow," possibly borrowed from Old Norse ör (genitive örvar), from Proto-Germanic *arkhwo (cf. Gothic arhwanza), from PIE root *arku- "bow and/or arrow," source of Latin arcus (see arc (n.)). The ground sense would be "the thing belonging to the bow," perhaps a superstitious avoidance of the actual name.
A rare word in Old English, where more common words for "arrow" were stræl (cognate with the word still common in Slavic, once prevalent in Germanic, too; meaning related to "flash, streak") and fla, flan, a North Germanic word, perhaps originally with the sense of "splinter." Stræl disappeared by 1200; fla lingered in Scottish until after 1500. Meaning "a mark like an arrow in cartography, etc." is from 1834.

- My specialty is the mini double doodle, which is a mini goldendoodle parent bred with a mini labradoodle parent. These are also called North American Retrievers but that doesn't sound nearly as fluffy and cute! My minis are $3200 plus tax and mini moms are Mariah, Adele and Gaga and their puppies should all be about 20-27 pounds. If you are looking for a smaller, micro mini weighing about 7-15 pounds as an adult; a dog that can fly with you under the seat of the plane, those are $3800 plus tax and micro minis moms are Fergie (13 pounds) and Rihanna (11 pounds).
- Deposits are $500 and are they are 100% refundable. Puppy selection is done at six weeks old; at that age the puppies coats have started to curl and personalities start to show so I ask you to make a decision if you have found a good match, want to move your deposit to the next litter or request a refund. Also when you select your puppy at six weeks old the remaining balance is due. Puppies are selected in the order of deposits received
I think what gets the most response about is that I LITTER BOX TRAIN MY PUPPIES! This means that you can either continue to have your puppy use a litter box (how nice would that be with all of the rain around here) OR you can take the litter that I send you home with, which is NOT clumping cat litter, and you can safely put this in your yard where you would like the puppy to start going potty. Remember you cannot take puppy for walks until they have had all of their shots due to parvo risk.
Another exciting thing I think is worth bragging about is that I start a very basic crate introduction around 4 weeks old and your puppy will go home with the crate that they been made to feel comfortable in. This means that the first night they might cry for a few minutes since they are not used to being alone but the crate is their familiar, safe place for sleeping and they are usually nice and quiet, sleeping like a baby from night one which if you've experienced anything else you know this is priceless. I also start early harness and leash training so it is more comfortable and natural for the dog when you are ready to go on walks and isn't as difficult for you or the puppy .
Puppies go home with
- 6 pounds of Darwin's raw food in convenient 0.5 pound packages
- A 2 pound bag of fresh green tripe, probably the worst smelling thing you will ever have in your refrigerator but please research the health benefits as they are AMAZING! This is not the bleached tripe you can purchase in a grocery store, this is the cow's stomach and "green" includes the grass they eat as well as wonderful, probiotic digestive enzymes, calcium and beneficial bacteria. I hate the smell but I love what it does and your puppy already loves it
- As mentioned earlier you will take home the puppy's crate that they are comfortable in
- A snuggle puppy stuffed dog that has a battery operated heartbeat and a warmer inside – very calming for a puppy missing their litter mates
- A few plush chew toys
- A blanket with mom's smell which should also help with that first night
Health testing/screening
- Your new puppy will have gone to the vet for age appropriate shots and deworming and we provide records for this service. Our vet is Dr Raja at Finn Hill Animal Hospital.
- Your puppy's parents have had their hips OFA certified (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) and I have that certification showing on the page for each parent. In addition to hips, they have had their eyes screened and certified as well as their patella and I have done a genetic screening Paw Print Genetics.
- Puppies start bio sensory training at 3 days old. This is a method developed by the US military for their canine program and what it means is early neurological stimulation with results in improved health and behavior.
My preference is to continue to sell to local families in Washington state. If you have found my page and are not local I strongly encourage you to look for a local breeder; a family you can visit and meet the puppy's parents and see the conditions the dogs are raised in. I understand not every breeder stays in touch and tries to foster the relationship like I do so I will sell out of state however I do not ship dogs in cargo. If you are not local then you'll need to fly to Seattle Tacoma International Airport to come pick up your puppy – I can meet you at the airport and I'm happy to bring your puppy's mom so you can meet her too. It is just too stressful for a new puppy to leave the comfort of our home and fly cargo. The crate that is going home with your puppy will fit under the seat. I do not deliver puppies.

Anime DVD Release FAQ & Technical Issues
With DVD, as with all new technologies, there are always a few technical issues to be worked out before everything can be perfect - especially with Anime DVD's!
We've created this page to serve as a forum to answer frequently asked questions regarding Anime DVD releases, and to share any technical bulletins and information that is released by the manufacturers.

shelves, and we are expecting replacement fixed boxed sets to arrive within 10

7-1-03 - Technical Bulletin:
Voices of a Distant Star
As many viewers have noticed, Voices of a Distant Star is unfortunately missing the alternate Japanese track, along with a few other items listed in the extras. Today ADV has addressed the issue with a replacement program, as follows:
1) E-Mail ADV customer service at
firstname.lastname@example.com. Include your
name, e-mail, and shipping address.
Please be sure to complete the form fully, carefully and legibly to hasten the return process. All questions on the Voices of a Distant Star replacement program should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
There are 8 regions (also called "locales"). Players and discs are identified by the region number superimposed on a world globe printed on the disk or the disk case. If a disc plays in more than one region it will have more than one number on the globe.
Some players can be modified to play discs regardless of their regional codes. This usually voids the warranty, but is probably not illegal. Some discs, such as those from Buena Vista/Touchstone/Miramax, MGM/Universal, and Polygram contain program code that checks for the proper region. These "smart discs" that do active region checking won't play on code-free players that have their region set to 0, but they can be played on code-switchable players that allow you to change the region using the remote control. They may also not work on auto-switching players that recognize and match the disc region.
Regional codes also apply to DVD-ROM systems, but are allowed for use only with DVD-Video discs, not DVD-ROM discs containing computer software. Computer playback systems check for regional codes before playing movies from a DVD-Video. Newer "RPC2" DVD-ROM drives let you change the region code several times. Once a drive has reached the limit (usually 5 changes) it can't be changed again unless the vendor or manufacturer resets it. The Drive Info utility can tell you if you have an RPC2 drive (it will say "This drive has region protection"). Drive Info and information about circumventing. After December 31, 1999, only RPC Phase II drives will be manufactured.
Regional codes do not apply to DVD-Audio.
Thank you for choosing the Anime Corner Store for Anime on DVD!

This overview by Jill Lepore seems to avoid any serious mistakes, and contains this nice summary.
"Doctor Who" is the most original science-fiction television series ever made. It is also one of the longest-running television shows of all time. (Virtually every other marathoner is a soap opera.) It was first broadcast in 1963, three years before "Star Trek," and, with apologies to Gene Roddenberry, is smarter and, better yet, sillier. The U.S.S. Enterprise, for all its talking computers and swooshing doors, is a crabbed and pious Puritan village; Doctor Who tumbles through time and space in the Tardis, a ship that from the outside looks like an early-twentieth-century British police box, painted blue and bearing a sign on its door that reads "POLICE TELEPHONE. FREE FOR USE OF PUBLIC. ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE OBTAINABLE IMMEDIATELY." Inside (it's bigger on the inside), the Tardis has something of the character of the reading room of the British Library, if the British Library had a swimming pool and were a pub designed by someone who adored Frank Gehry, Lewis Carroll, and typewriters with missing keys.The article is here but it is gated for subscribers only.

When the travel bug finds a potential globe trotter, it really latches on. Sophomore biology major Olivia Kamicker is a perfect example. Italy, England, Germany and Slovenia: all places she traveled to during her fall 2011 semester studying abroad in Geneva College's Semester in Rome program.
Growing up on an old farm in Enon Valley, PA, Olivia may at first appear to be a small town girl, but she has always wanted to see the world. Since she was young, traveling has been part of her family. Her mother was a flight attendant and has always encouraged Olivia to try new things. "She wanted me to be practical about what I did during college. To get all my humanities course credits, I thought, 'Why would I do it in Beaver Falls when I can do it in Rome?'"
Olivia saw the advertisements for the Semester in Rome program and was automatically drawn to it because this unique study-abroad opportunity includes Geneva curriculum taught by Geneva faculty. The first step she took to make the semester a possibility was taking required prerequisite courses just in case. As a biology major, she was initially worried that taking a semester away from her normal class load of science labs and lectures would set her behind, but faculty members were willing to help make the Rome semester possible for her.
In Rome, not only did Olivia study the humanities course work, she visited sites and locations that helped enhance her understanding of the material. A real hands-on approach to learning, this semester abroad was a great experience to add to her Geneva education.
Accepting the challenge to study abroad can be intimidating and scary to some, but to Olivia it was an adventure she couldn't pass up. "I really am going to Rome!" were her thoughts as she left for Italy. As a commuter during her freshman year to Geneva's main campus in Beaver Falls, her semester in Rome was her first time away from home—and very far away from home at that. One of the most unique things about Geneva's Rome program is the community living aspect. "We had a small group of students which was nice," she says. "You got to know everyone. It was really cool to have the realization that everyone comes from a different background. Getting to know everyone in that environment created a bond; we'll always have a connection."
Not surprisingly, one of the things that stands out about the Italian experience is the food. Olivia discovered that her favorite meal was tortellini with cream sauce and that the best seafood is in Venice. Students also take part in a cooking schedule to serve dinner for each other throughout the week. "I loved my cooking group," she says. "We had a great time preparing meals for each other, and we tried to be creative!"
Picking a favorite memory or travel destination is hard when you've seen multiple cities across Europe all in one semester. Olivia made sure to cover the traveler's bucket list, however. Riding a gondola in Venice? Check. Eating fish and chips in London? Check. Pasta in Italy? Check.
But if she had to pick just one thing, Olivia says her favorite trip through the program was when the class visited Pompeii. "I was always fascinated when reading about it," she says. "Actually being there was amazing."
One of the highlights of her semester was visiting Slovenia with her parents who came to visit during fall break. Knowing that she had family history on her father's side in this country made their trip extra personal and special. "Slovenia was the most beautiful place. The Alps and the landscape were breathtaking."
With her European adventure complete, Olivia hopes to continue her travels by taking some small trips here in America. "Europe was great because it was so easy and accessible to get around. Now, I want to see so much more of our country and truly appreciate the places close to home that I have never been."

This blogger just exercised his way to buying a goat for a poor farmer in Africa using EarndIt. Not only did he earn points toward a goat, he has seen improvements in his own exercise tracking. A win-win for everyone.
Andy and Kim Holloway are participating in the Nation's Triathlon today in Washington, D.C., hoping to raise money and awareness for Heifer International. We're rooting for you guys.
Talk about reaching new heights, 13-year-old Ian Urban recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and raised money to end hunger and poverty with Heifer International at the same time!

Fox to leave with a rebuke... and a £17,000 payoff despite breaching ministerial code
Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell will rule that Dr Fox did not personally profit from his globetrotting with best man Adam Werritty.
But he will condemn the conflicts of interest that arose because Dr Fox's friend was funded by rich donors with defence interests.
The Mail can also today reveal that one of Mr Werritty's major backers was working for Britain's biggest defence company.
G3 Good Governance Group paid £15,000 to Mr Werritty's company Pargav and also has an ongoing contract with BAE Systems, which has £520million of Ministry of Defence contracts.
But despite Sir Gus's findings, Dr Fox is entitled to three months' money from his £68,827 Ministers' salary after he resigned as Defence Secretary on Friday – a total of £17,206.
The Cabinet Office said: 'The Independent Top Salaries Review Body recommended that on losing office for whatever reason, members of the Commons should receive a severance payment based on three months' net loss of income.'
The payoff provoked outrage last night and calls for Dr Fox to return the money.
John Mann, the Labour MP for Bassetlaw, said 'It's outrageous that a shamed and discredited ex-Minister gets such a huge pay out. It's for Dr Fox to now take the honourable route and immediately re-pay this money to the Exchequer.'
Sir Gus's report, which is around seven pages long, will be published in full today after No10 gave in to demands for full disclosure. But it is thought it will not go into great detail about the sources of Mr Werritty's funding.
'It is more a study of ministerial misconduct,' said one Whitehall official.
David Cameron will face claims today that Sir Gus's report in no way answers all the unanswered questions about Dr Fox and Mr Werritty.
Sir Gus has not made an in-depth study of the funding and activities of Dr Fox's former charity Atlantic Bridge. His report will not provide a list of other Ministers who met Mr Werritty, as Downing Street had originally suggested. Nor does he plan to name the as-yet-unknown donors to Pargav.
The revelation that G3 was working for BAE Systems will intensify calls for the Electoral Commission to open its own investigation into Dr Fox.
The watchdog will decide this week whether to open a probe into whether he broke laws on political donations by failing to declare the sources of Mr Werritty's funding, when he was effectively acting as an unofficial adviser.
BAE is the Ministry of Defence's biggest contractor, with around 13 per cent of the MoD's £4billion procurement budget. It builds flagship defence platforms such as the Type 45 destroyer and the Eurofighter Typhoon jet aircraft.
A source at BAE confirmed that the company has an ongoing relationship with G3 to provide consultancy support for a project in Oman, where BAE is designing military training courses. It is understood G3 has also hired a former MI6 officer called Moira Andrews, whose husband Ian Andrews was until 2009 the second most senior civil servant in the MoD.
No10 is also resisting making a ministerial statement on the scandal, but Mr Cameron could still be dragged to the Commons.
Labour is set to ask Speaker John Bercow for an urgent statement and he is understood to be sympathetic.
On the link between BAE and G3, Labour's Armed Forces spokesman Kevan Jones said: 'This is further evidence of the perceived conflict of interest which arose at the heart of the MoD on David Cameron's watch. He needs to answer questions.
'Without a full examination of Mr Fox and Mr Werritty's activities, including all business connections, David Cameron will not be living up to his promise of open, transparent government.
'At a time when the Armed Forces has had to swallow a pay freeze and thousands of troops have been told they are being made redundant to cut costs, Liam Fox's redundancy payment will provoke a lot of anger.'

In 2006 Anthony Hull opened the D&A Boxing School of Excellence with the vision of helping local youth from the South Birmingham area.
With the lack of facilities available to young people in the area, local youth were bored and left with nothing to do. This lead to some becoming involved in crime and antisocial behavior, which has a huge impact on our society.
Social inclusion through sports participation is considered to be an avenue for improving social connection opportunities for marginalised groups such as young people. So with Anthony extensive knowledge of boxing, they used their combined skills and knowledge and decided to open a gym to provide the local youth with a safe environment to train in.
In December the D&A Boxing School of Excellence celebrated our 13 year anniversary, this wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and continued dedication of every member of the D&A team.
We appreciate the support that the local community have given us and would like to thank everyone who have been involved with the gym.
For boxers, as with any sport, a good diet is a crucial part of staying in shape and keeping up with the demands of a training regime. Boxers need to eat well in order to maintain muscle strength and energy in the ring, and to avoid feeling tired and sluggish part way through a fight. Boxers use punches, jabs, speed and flexibility requiring strength, endurance and energy to defeat their opponent. As a result, they require a nutritious diet which will provide high levels of energy to last throughout the duration of a fight.
If a healthy diet is something you struggle with or like most of us, are to busy to commit yourself , then we recommend you try Eat Yourself into Shape.

A few years ago I shared one of these designs on a blog post of favourite plans in south Ottawa. At first blush the houses do not seem to fit in with the mid-century modern and 1970s aesthetic that this blog celebrates. Yet, upon further inspection, they represent a turning point in housing design in Ottawa between the open-concept spaces of the modern era, and the return to more traditional (and more formal) layouts that had became more common in the 1980s. The houses are almost like on last "hurrah" before tastes changed in housing design.On the outside the houses look like on large manor houses, but each building is made up of three attached units, each with an attached garage and separate entrance.
All of the plans have formal separate dining rooms, but the excitement in space unfolds upon entering the living rooms, with two-storey spaces and a second floor loft that overlooks the room below. Often the fireplace, and sometimes the staircase, becomes an integral part of the architectural volume of these spaces.
Although architecturally-unique, it appears that some of the houses were not built with these open to above spaces and loft, and instead a bedroom is located above the living room. Perhaps home buyers were given a choice to have an additional bedroom instead of a loft. Interestingly, the end unit plan with the largest garage (a 2 car garage) is actually a 1 bedroom house, plus loft.
There are 3 basic plans, but with slight variations in room sizes and window placement depending on the facade of the house. Likewise, entrances to the garages and the driveway placement varied as per the siting within the neighbourhood. In each manor the middle unit has a visible front door on the front of the house, while the other units doors are tucked around the side, keeping up appearances that the house is one large dwelling and not 3 units. Likewise, in most cases, only one set of garage doors is visible from the front of the house, with the others tucked around the side.
In the Beaverbrook area of Kanata, one builder essentially copied Campeau's manor house designs in the mid-1980s, but instead of two-story living rooms with lofts above, the houses have 2 or 3 bedrooms on the second floor. The designs have other slight variations, but are essentially the same as their predecessors.
To better demonstrate the similarities, here are larger versions of the two plans below - the original above:

Johnson • Oct 20, 2015 Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has inspired countless unique interpretations within art, literature, dance, theatre, music and film. We take a look at some local artists' versions as the story turns 150 years old. Guests: Inside Kansas City Artist Peregrine Honig's Hotel Suite, The Bed's A Stage By Laura Spencer • Sep 11, 2015 Courtesy photo / Belger Crane Yard Studios Listen Listening... / 4:30 Kansas City artist Peregrine Honig spent time this year in artist residencies — one in China, and, an unofficial one, closer to home at the Hotel Phillips. Some of the drawings and prints she created will soon be on display in a replica hotel suite — inside the Belger Crane Yard gallery. Sexuality and vulnerability, power and luxury — and privacy all collide in a new multimedia installation called Suites. Intimates Store For Transgender People To Open In Kansas City's Crossroads District By Gina Kaufmann • Dec 5, 2014 Paul Andrews Peregrine Honig and Danielle Meister, the co-owners of Birdie's Panties in Kansas City, Mo., plan to open a second store catering specifically to transgender shoppers in 2015. The store, to be called All Is Fair, will open in the Bauer Building on West 18th Street in the Crossroads Arts District. Honig announced the plans on KCUR's Central Standard during a conversation about her work and her art. The Self And The Selfie: Artist Peregrine Honig By Gina Kaufmann • Dec 5, 2014 Paul Andrews "A hundred years ago, if you told people that they would have something in their pocket that would make an image that would go all over the world immediately, they would think it was witchcraft." So says internationally recognized Kansas City artist and provocateur Peregrine Honig. If that's the case, then Honig's been up to a whole lot of witchcraft in her artwork lately. PHOTOS: Peregrine Honig's New Paintings Encourage Selfie-Indulgence By Julie Denesha • Oct 30, 2014 Julie Denesha / KCUR Camera phones were snapping Friday night with the opening of Peregrine Honig's latest exhibition at Haw Contemporary, a gallery in the West Bottoms of Kansas City, Mo. While many artists discourage photographs of their work, Honig openly invited viewers to use her large-scale oil paintings as backdrops for selfies, or self-portraits. Kansas City Creative Couples: Honig & Southerland By Sylvia Maria Gross • Jul 22, 2013 Julie Denesha / KCUR The work of iconic Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera is on display this summer at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. They're part of an exhibit called Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Masterpieces of Modern Mexico. Kahlo and Rivera are known not only for their paintings, but for their tempestuous marriage, which sometimes influenced their art. 'Gilded Summer' Hits The Runway By Julie Denesha • Jun 9, 2013 Julie Denesha / KCUR The 13th Annual West 18th Street Fashion Show started at dusk on June 8, and drew a crowd of onlookers both on the street and from the windows above. Camera phones flashed as models, wearing the creations of eighteen designers, pranced on a lighted runway in the canyon between buildings lining 18th Street. Behind-the-scenes, designers made last-minute adjustments and models primped as they prepared to mount the runway. The Fishtank Stages Arthur Miller Play In Birdies By Steve Walker • Apr 11, 2013 Studio 8183 On some occasions, a play calls out to be staged somewhere other than a theater. For example, last year, a production of William Inge's "Bus Stop," which is set in a diner, was performed in one in Lee's Summit. This weekend, an Arthur Miller one-act about a man shopping for intimate apparel for his mistress will be mounted in a Crossroads boutique that specializes in that kind of women's wear. CNN's "9/11 Ripple" Project: Peregrine Honig By Laura Spencer • Sep 8, 2011 CNN.com commissioned artists from around the world "to create or choose work to illustrate the ripple effect of 9/11." Here, Kansas City's Peregrine Honig describes her work called "Twins," and recalls where she was on September 11, 2001.

[John W. Burgeson]
| I pulled the following from Pickover's LISTSERV -- now I am really over
| my head!
| -----------------------------
| What information can't pi contain in its digit stream?
| Say that for example you have 3 atoms arranged in an equilateral triangle
| formation. That means that at least one of the coordinates is equal to
| the square root of 3, or 1.732etc. The three coordinates of the atoms
| maybe could be (0,0), (1,0), and (1, 1.732..).
| Because the square root of three is irrational, its expansion as a real
| number will continue forever without a pattern. Thus, if pi is to
| "contain" the sqrt(3) that means that at one point, the digits of pi
| would have to revert to the digits of sqrt(3), and continue that way for
| infinity. Which would mean that pi is not transcendental. Pi has been
| proven to be transcendental, so an infinite expansiion of sqrt(3), or any
| other root for that matter, is impossible.
| --------------------------------
| Ignoring the question of the proper definition of "transcendental,"
| I still don't see this follows. The infinite expansion of pi ought
| to be able to contain a finite number of infinite expansions. Maybe.
It all depends on how you interpret the word "contain".
For any increasing sequence of natural numbers 0 < n_1 < n_2 <n_3 < ...,
there is a real number A with decimal expansion given by the rule
i-th decimal of A = n_i-th decimal of pi.
There are uncountably many such sequences, in fact, even uncountably
many such sequences with the property that 1 <= n_(i+1) - n_i <= 2 for
all i. The quote from Pickover's listserv deals with a very strict
subclass of sequences, namely those which are of the form n_i = N + i
for some number N.

The location of the billing address on a medical bill varies between insurance companies and hospitals, but it's typically listed on the payment authorization slip. Some bills may also print the billing address in the upper corner of the bill, near the contact information of the organization.
Medical bills usually appear as a form with a summary of charges along with a detachable section that the person receiving the bill must mail back to the charging entity with the appropriate payment. Such forms often include the billing address as the mailing address in the detachable section, which appears through the open section in the envelope that arrives with the bill. If the bill does not include mail payment information, the address may appear near the name of the issuing entity.
Medical bills may appear in many different forms, depending on the type of facility and the coverage of the person receiving the bill. In some cases, the insurance company operates its own special facilities and issues the bills itself. Other plans provide the patient with access to various facilities, in which case the hospital, clinic or doctor issues the bill to the patient for any portion the insurance does not cover. Depending on the entity issuing the bill, it may be possible to find the billing address through its website or by contacting its billing department.

WoW: Pre-Expansion Invasions Hit Stage #2Category: Default Game: World of Warcraft Posted on Aug 17, 2016 3:38 pm 989Views 0Comments
The invasion events leading up to the release of the Legion expansion have hit Stage 2. What does it mean? What's new?
1. Invasions are now more frequent. Three are up most of the time (up from 2). This means more loot, faster gearing, leveling and more Nether Shards!
2. Items rewarded through the Legion boxes (the two you get by completing an invasion) now have a chance to be Warforged with an item level of 710. (Most of the items will still have an item level of 700).
3. A new quest line involving the Dalaran's relocation, Karazhan, the Council of Six, Magni Bronzebeard and Ulduar became available.
Most of the quest line revolves around the relocation of Dalaran. It's located just above Karazhan. Khadgar wants the Kirin Tor to allow the Horde to return to Dalaran. While most of the Council's majority agrees, Jaina is still furious about Therefore. You'll see Magni Bronzebeard awaken and join him in Ulduar's Celestial Planetarium where the Legion forces hold him hostage. You'll also visit Karazhan's library where you search for a long-forgotten Medivh's tome about the world pillars.
Invasion Leveling
Meanwhile, fine-tuning with plenty of class changes is taking place. Last but not least, the XP Gain from invasions has been vastly increased and now, they are an awesome source of XP for leveling. Just don't forget to leave at least some boxes unopened so that you directly loot item level 700 gear at 100, instead of item level 463 you get when you open the box at Level 90. Keep in mind the leveling stacks with all the different +%XP bonuses such as Heirlooms, Rested Buff and Recruit-a-Friend! It's the best time to level up a Hero to 100 if you're tired of questing and other means of leveling! It's better to have a flying mount though, because you at least can easily reach the invasion area.

From Ironic Sans:
In 1996, Supreme Court Justice David Souter told a congressional panel that "the day you see a camera come into our courtroom, it's going to roll over my dead body." While the controversy over whether or not cameras should be allowed in courtrooms rages on, sketch artists remain fairly non-controversial, covering even the most important trials. The general public sees their artwork on the news, online, and in print. These artists see the trials for us, and often their artwork is our only glimpse into the proceedings.
I found myself wondering who these artists are. Is courtroom sketching a full time job? Are these people fine artists or commercial artists? And what kind of artwork do they do outside the courtroom?

Review: Anthony Braxton in Bristol
Andy Hamilton witnesses a rare and utterly personal UK appearance by the US saxophonist and composer, cardigan and all
Anthony Braxton's concert at The Lantern, Colston Hall on 20 January was his first UK show for 10 years and his only performance here on his current European tour. With his Diamond Curtain Wall Quartet, the 1994 MacArthur Fellow and 2014 NEA Jazz Master synthesised intuitive improvisation and interactive electronics. Braxton (alto, soprano and sopranino saxophone) was joined by Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet, flugelhorn, bass trumpet), James Fei (soprano, sopranino and alto saxophone, and clarinet) and Mary Halvorson (electric guitar). The quartet reacted to the graphic notation of Braxton's Falling River Music, and to the electronic patches of the composer's SuperCollider software.

Autumn in Pennsylvania
An Afternoon at Linvilla Orchards, Media, Pennsylvania
|There are plenty of pumpkins to choose from!
|There's a kid in there somewhere!
|I couldn't pass up this classic shot: A guy with a Phillies shirt carrying a pumpkin!
An Autumn afternoon at Linvilla Orchards is also about the food.
|Funnel Cakes
|The obligatory candied apple stand!
|Who doesn't love Caramel Corn?
And there are a lot of activities, for kids and their parents alike.
|And train rides...
|And Hay rides...
|And Mazes to get lost in...
There is also a market where you can purchase apples picked right from the orchard.
In addition, there other fresh fruits, produce, jams, maple syrup, fresh baked pies,
and a variety of other fabulous food items.
Instead of purchasing apples though, you can always pick them yourself at the orchard...that is if you make it there early enough in the season. Obviously, I was too late!
|I love this one!
|No Apples for you!

The Rangers and Devils played this evening, March 19th, and started the game with 6 players in 3 separate fights. The New Jersey Devils started the game with Eric Boulton, Cam Janssen and Ryan Carter for their starting line-up. That would be #s 1, 2 and 4 in fighting majors for the team. The Rangers countered with their top 3 fighters (42 fights between them) in Michael Rupp, Brandon Prust and Stu Bickel. Both teams showed a lot of discipline in waiting until the 3 second mark to drop the gloves. On February 7th when these teams met, they had 2 fights break out at the 2 second mark (Janssen and Boulton taking on Rupp and Prust).
In any other professional sport this kind of display would be regarded as a disaster and a black mark on the league. It would be followed up with a press release from the league office commenting on how disappointed they are in the participants of this action and substantial fines and suspensions would be handed out. It's unlikely that we will hear anything from the NHL. It's just business as usual.
My post on the study of non-fighting PIMs and fighting stated that enforcers were more likely to be responsible for cheap shots versus policing the game. So let's take closer look and see if this game supports that theory, or did all the roster enforcement clean it up after the 3 second mark.
- At 9:01 of the 1st Parise gets a high stick to the face, courtesy of the enforcer Prust. I guess he forgot that he's on the roster to make sure that no one takes cheap shots…like high sticks to the face.
- Still in the 1st period, at 12:45, Salvador dumps the puck into the Rangers zone from the point and takes a hit as he does so. The Ranger player hitting him was Rupp, who immediately afterwards puts both his gloves into Salvador's face and gives him a shove, drawing a roughing penalty. When I played hockey that was pretty much disrespectful. But Rupp is policing the game so I guess it was a pre-emptive strike.
- With 2 minutes left to play in the opening period, Boulton gets called for an obvious trip on Rupp. That's how you clean up the game – by knocking the players down and wiping the ice with them.
- At the 7 minute mark of the second, Boulton continues to demonstrate how to keep the rats from taking over the game by hitting Fedotenko from behind and getting a boarding penalty.
- With 1:27 left in the second, Dubinsky (4th in fighting on the Rangers) decides to help out his fellow policemen and knocks Ponikarovsky into the boards from behind.
- That was just the penalties called, and does not include the hit by Dubinsky to the head of Volchenkov. So I need someone who "really understands hockey" to explain this whole enforcement thing to me again. Perhaps someone from the NHL or NHLPA, who has played competitive hockey unlike me, can tell me how these fighters are cleaning up the game. Maybe this is a bad example but it sure appeared to me that these players are not taking care of the rats – they are the rats. I think the enforcers need to have some kind of Internal Affairs department to investigate and clean up the police squad.

The following post is an excerpt from a research paper I wrote this semester examining the use of high school computer science classes to increase the number of women in computer science. Yes, the high school I reference is the one I attended.
A major issue in teaching computer science in high schools is that not only do the students not understand what computer science is, but frequently neither do the teachers and administrators. High schools frequently offer classes under the heading "computer science," that are actually courses on keyboarding or using applications. Continue reading
