The following article was recently featured on eLearningIndustry.com…
We all have limited resources and a lot of important problems to solve. We already give people some sort of credit for what they've done once they've done it. Why should we take the time and energy to try to measure the work we've already done?
To make a decision about the continuation of that work, or about how to do better and similar work in the future.
And only when the value of this decision is greater than the cost of making the measurement.
That's pretty much it. For those of us in Learning and Development, there is no other justifiable use case.
Measurements of anything that happened in the past can be quite useful in reducing uncertainty about the future. For cost centers, like Training, the only reason we care about measurements in the past is when someone is actively making a decision about an outcome in the future.
If someone asked you for a report or measurement or whatever, they would probably want to decide something—and they would need your data to help them do that. This isn't always upfront in the request, but it is inevitably there if you dig for it.
No matter how scientifically accurate our measurements may be, all we can ever do with them is reduce uncertainty about the future. There will be no guarantees. Science has been around for a long time, and it has never been in that business.
Science helps us make better guesses with the data we've gathered.
It's important to note that science does not tell us what data we need to gather, or how much of it we need to have before it counts for something. For instance, the "statistically relevant sample size" is never a set number or percentage. It is a value judgment. Your value judgment. You make the call.
How much measuring is enough?
How much data do you need?
After all, you don't need all the data there could ever be; you only need enough of a sampling of the data to make a guess (aka "an inference"). That's how the whole 'science thing' works.
The good news is, as Douglas Hubbard (inventor of Applied Information Economics) puts it: "You have more data than you think, and you need less than you think".
Well, the more uncertainty you have, the more benefit you get from a simple observation.
In other words, if you know almost nothing, almost anything will tell you something.
Chances are that you do know something already. You probably know quite a few things, in fact. Here, you can listen to a 30min podcast where Doug expands on this idea.
So, what do you need to make your measurement? Not much.

A while ago, I had commented on how thrilled I was to see actor Michael Praed come into Emmerdale as Frank Clayton, father to Tracey and Vanessa. Click here for that article.
Within the article I mentioned my hopes for him and Charity to team up as they simply oozes chemistry and it was painfully obvious they were great together and worked great together after seeing them team up for the diamond heist. He was much more suited to her than he was current love interest Megan whom it was painfully obvious wasn't suited at all together.
I was therefore really happy and excited when I had my letter published in a magazine expressing my desire for Emmerdale to make this happen and for Frank and Charity to be together and unlock that palpable oozing chemistry completely.

One of the Most Rewarding Running Experiences in the Industry
The Precor TRM 445 treadmill is their top of the line residential model, and it incorporates many of the design features and components of their institutional treadmills. These are the machines that are found in facilities like fire stations, hotels and apartment complexes. Consequently, with the Precor TRM 445 you are getting a treadmill designed to take abuse.
Equally important to the durability factor, the TRM 445 incorporates biomechanical and ergonomic features that give it one of the most rewarding running experiences in the industry. And it should be noted that the Precor TRM 445 is built in the U.S.A. and the company is fanatical about quality control.
Ground Effects Impact Control — The deck is designed so that when you plant your feet you get the proper shock absorption, and when you push-off towards the back of the deck you get a solid launch. Now most treadmills offer a similar benefit, however, the Precor TRM 445 is designed in a way that it offers similar shock absorption for individuals of different weight. They incorporate triangular-shaped shock absorbers at the front of the deck that bows based on your weight. According to the company, "This unique feature progressively absorbs impact based on your height and weight." It also adjusts based on whether you are training for a marathon or are using the treadmill for walking.
The problem with the shock absorption on most treadmills is that they are geared for a certain weight range. Lighter individuals will not get adequate absorption, while heavier individuals will get too much absorption.
Integrated Footplant Technology (IFT) — This feature was explained to me by the Chief Innovation Officer, and it is a perfect example of why Precor treadmills are exceptional. Your footstep has a unique pattern of accelerating and decelerating. Through the IFT the treadmill registers your speed, "checking the motor speed up to 710 times per second". Based on your speed the treadmill adjusts the speed of the belt to match your natural movement. This results in a reduction of discomfort to your joints. This feature is exclusively found on the Precor 9.3 series and their commercial models.
Upgraded Console — The 40 series console found on the Precor TRM 445 is designed to assist you in reaching your fitness goals. This console was released in 2014 and offers an array of feedback, in addition to several interactive features. Features include…
In addition the console on the Precor TRM 445 is Preva compatible. Preva is Precor's mobile app. You can save your workout through the USB port to a mobile device and download it to your online account. Through your account you can store workouts, get training recommendations and record your workout stats. Having the ability to record and review your stats is a great way to motivate you to your next level.
3.0 Continuous Duty HP Motor — This motor will run effortlessly even at higher speed. It is one of the better motors found on a residential treadmill and is industrial strength.
22″ x 57″ Treadbelt — Typically treadmills come with a 20″ belt width. The extra 2″ feels less confining.
2.5" Precision-machined, steel crowned rollers keep belt centered and running smoothly to reduce noise and wear.
2% Decline to 15% Incline — With the ability to decline the deck you can simulate running up and down hills.
23 Exercise Programs — You get a variety of exercise challenges, allowing you to regularly change up your routine and break up the monotony.
335 lb. Unit Weight — This is commercial grade heavy. No matter how fast you are running you will maintain a solid and stable feel.
Warranty — Lifetime frame and welds, 10-years parts and wear items, 1-year labor. Obviously they are confident their parts are not going to wear out.
The Precor TRM 445 is one of the most expensive treadmills for residential use, but it also one of the best treadmills available for the home. What makes it such an extraordinary machine is the fact it is commercial grade for the home, with unique ergonomic features that enhance the experience of running.
When I went out to the corporate headquarters I asked the company, "who spends this kind of money for a treadmill?" The answer was serious users. Not necessarily fanatical runners, but users who are serious about exercising and want the very best machine to reach their fitness goals.

Nippon to Invest $8B in Iraq's Nassiriyah Field
ISTANBUL (Dow Jones), Oct. 19, 2009
Japan's Nippon Corp. is expected to invest up to $8 billion to develop the Nassiriyah oil field in the country's south, a senior Iraqi oil official said Monday.
"Nippon will need that money to develop the field and to build a nearby power station," the official with Iraq's South Oil Co. told reporters on the sidelines of a workshop on Iraq's second bidding round being held in Istanbul.
Nippon could take output from the field to 200,000 barrels a day in 24 months of development, said Iraqi oil minister's adviser Jabbar Leaby. He said output from the field is to reach 100,000 barrels a day during the first 18 months.
Nassiriyah is currently pumping 20,000 barrels a day.
The Iraqi senior official also said Nippon, which is teaming up with Japan's Inpex Corp. and JGC Corp., would also build a refinery in Nassiriyah with a processing capacity of 300,000 barrels a day.
He said some financial issues needed to be resolved before the deal is signed.
The Japanese consortium and government would jointly finance the deal, he added.
Abdul Mahdy al-Ameedi, head of the Iraqi Oil Ministry's Petroleum Contracts and Licensing Directorate, told a news conference he held Monday that the ministry is meeting with Nippon Nov. 1 to finalize the deal.
Italy's Eni SpA is also pursuing the project but the ministry will be meeting only with Nippon and its Japanese partners, Ameedi said. However, he didn't say why meetings would only be taking place with Nippon.
Eni said Monday that it is likely that it will withdraw from Nassiriyah oil field. Ameedi confirmed that saying Eni is no more a bidder for Nassiriyah.
Iraq is aiming to sign an engineering, procurement and construction contract to develop the Nassiriyah field, located in the Dhi Qar governate, which has estimated proven reserves of 4.4 billion barrels. The field isn't included in the government's two oil and gas bidding rounds.

The country-fueled story of Little Big Town began in the year of 1988 in the small town of Homewood, Alabama. The group came to be as Karen Fairchild, Jimi Westbrook, Kimberly Schlapman, and Phillip Sweet forged a strong alliance that remains untouched to this very day.
From the very get-go, the boys and gals focused on delivering killer live shows, relentlessly touring across the State and learning the fine art of live performing. In the year of 2002, they were ready to unleash their very first full-length studio release upon the world and a self-title Little Big Town debut was born.
Led by two singles, "Don't Waste My Time" and "Everything Changes," the album found its way to the hearts of country fans and established the gang as a prominent new act.
The band mostly stuck to the approach of writing all their music themselves, resulting in extra authenticity and natural charm within their tunes.
Three years later, the time has come to make a bit of a big leap. "The Road to Here" was unveiled in October 2005, giving the band their first album on the US Billboard 200 chart and ultimately their very first effort to cross one million sales within the US alone. There's a good chance that songs like "Bring It on Home," "Good as Gone," and "A Little More You" are among your personal favorites or at least ring a bell as one of those catchy modern country tunes.
Fierce touring and studio albums kept a-rolling with 2007's "A Place to Land" and 2010's "The Reason Why." More hits, more quality music, and the band became a well-established country act by now. Additionally, "The Reason Why" saw the group topping the Billboard Country US chart for the first time in history.
But their best selling album to date was yet to come. In 2012, "Tornado" was unveiled, featuring the tune that would become Little Big Town's first No. 1 hit single ever – "Pontoon." Additionally, the title track also made the Top 10, while the album's remaining two singles, "Your Side of the Bed" and "Sober," scored major success and brought the band to the peak of their fame so far.
In 2014, the group presented their sixth studio effort, "Pain Killer." Sticking to the same vibe and formula, the band proved that if talent and hard work are properly mixed, success is guaranteed.
When it comes to the sound of Little Big Town, one of the most prominent factors would definitely be the distinctive four part vocal harmonies. Each of the four members of the band is a singer.
A fun fact to wrap it up – Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook married on May 31, 2006, and had a child, a boy named Elijah Dylan Westbrook in 2010.
If country music ever lied at least a pair of miles away from your interests, we wholeheartedly recommend that you should buy Little Big Town tickets in the near future and check out how it's done live in concert.

Hollymount Girls vs St Josephs
The Hollymount School Girls football team won convincing against St Josephs. It was an amazing team performance with 5 goals from a trio of sisters. Felicity and Fiona both scored twice, and Frankie scored an acrobatic wonder goal from her own half to make the score 5-0 to Hollymount. The scoring continued when Santa volleyed in from 40 yards.
It was an excellent game and everyone played very well. Well done to all the players!
Next game is against Stanley Road on Wednesday 18th May 2016.

It is about diseases which need proper treatment to maintain health.
A standard emotional issue is called depression and a lot of of the individuals develop the issue connected with depression at least for one time inside their life-span mainly from a friend or family member. The root and normal root of depressive disorders is without a doubt confusion. Folks can be stressed out by any kind of confusions. It is not really generally required that depression relates to psychiatric illness. Many life happenings, unwanted effects connected with a lot of medical related remedies or perhaps conditions regarding quite a few medical conditions may bring about depression. A number of psychiatric syndromes just like clinical depression will probably adjust the state of mind of the individual as depressed frame of mind.

Newberry Springs in San Bernardino County, California — The American West (Pacific Coastal)
Historic Mojave River Road
The Mojave River has been described as "upside-down" and "backwards" because water generally flows below ground and inland from Silverwood Lake (near Cajon Pass) to Soda Dry Lake. Ancient desert Indians used the river as a trade route to and from the Pacific coast. This route would later be called the Mojave Road.
In 1776, Fr. Francisco Garces was the first European to use this route to reach the Southern California missions from the Mojave Desert. In 1826 Jedediah Smith passed this way to become the first American to reach the California coast via an overland trail. In the 1860's, the U.S. Army established Camp Cady on this route in an effort to make it safe for other travelers. Later Kit Carson and John Fremont were among those who traversed this route. The Mojave Road soon became a primary route from Los Angeles to the Arizona Territory and points east. On the left and right sides of this monument are the original cornerstones of Camp Cady.

Our physiological, emotional and social well beings are the part of our mental health. The way we act, deal with stress, feel and think all come under our mental health. It is of great importance throughout our lives that is from childhood to adolescence. Mental health can be disturbed due to many reasons which in return affect our whole lifestyle and way of perceiving things.
Biological factors (genes and brain chemistry), Physical abuse and trauma and family history are the important contributor of change in mental health.
Top 4 Women Mental Health Issues
Mental illness in women is quite common. Therefore, it is important to know the major causes of it.
1) Depression
Depression is common among women and it has been estimated that 10-15% women experience depression during their life. It can adversely affect the hormonal balance in body. Physical and environmental factors contribute in depression. Social barriers, guilt, anxiousness and hopelessness all responsible to depression. Living away from home/ family can increase the incidence of depression. Also, hectic work routine and not getting enough time to enjoy things around you can cause depression.
2) Anxiety
Women are more prone to experience anxiety during their life. Many factors play a major contribution in anxiety such as stress, cultural norms and how to handle the situations. As women cannot handle the adverse situations as skillfully as men so they suffer from more anxiety and panic attacks.
It is also believed that hormonal imbalance can trigger anxiety in women such as the effect of gonad hormones. Other hormones are also responsible that cause anxiety attacks.

I'm going to make this short. Unfortunately, not much was accomplished this week. I made a couple of good plot connections on the story, but that's basically it. I had several days of just being too busy to get on the computer, and then pinched a nerve in my shoulder and had to keep my arm in a sling for most of the weekend. In the interest of being able to function at my job on Monday, I decided to just take it easy on computer stuff and let my arm relax and recover. (And no video games, either.)
Usually I think best with my fingers on a keyboard, but in times like this it would behoove me to keep my story document close by so I can have my brain problem solving in the background at times I'm not actively working on it. I suppose I should upload the outline file to my Google Docs so I can check my notes on my phone.
Also notable is that, as with most things, when I have been NOT working on something for X amount of time, I tend to lose interest in it pretty quickly. I met some new neighbors at church today and was telling them about my work, and I felt kind of guilty talking about my VN like it's a big deal when I've hardly touched it this week. (I have a guilty conscience that way.) It reminded me that I need to be careful to keep my momentum going if I hope to really accomplish things with my art.
The next step: finish the rough plot outline, and then split up the plot into chapters.

and Tessa K. Mlsna, Esq., Gray Plant Mooty, Minneapolis, MN,
on behalf of Defendant.
August 17, 2017, the undersigned United States District Judge
heard oral argument on Defendant AgStar Financial Services,
ACA's ("AgStar" or the "Company")
Motion for Summary Judgment [Docket No. 18]. Plaintiff Nancy
J. Winkelman ("Winkelman") alleges that AgStar
retaliated against her in violation of the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 623(a). Compl. [Docket
No. 1] ¶¶ 20-35. For the reasons set forth below,
AgStar's motion is granted.
AgStar and its Annual Review Process
is a Financial Services company that provides a broad range
of financial services for agricultural and rural clients in
northwestern Wisconsin and Minnesota. Bridger Decl. [Docket
No. 22] ¶ 2.
to this dispute is AgStar's annual employee review
process. In January and February of each year, supervisors
conduct annual performance reviews of their team members.
Mlsna Decl. [Docket No. 21] Ex. A ("Winkelman
Dep.") 129:7-10. Supervisors are instructed to rate
their team members' performance as "On
Target" or "Unsatisfactory" using
performance metrics. Bridger Decl. Ex. 2. By comparing an
employee's performance metrics to that of their peers,
the performance metrics largely serve as the basis for annual
salary adjustments and promotion decisions. Bridger Decl.
¶ 4; Mlsna Decl. Ex. F; Paur Decl. [Docket No. 23]
¶ 7.
year, AgStar sets an overall budget for salary increases, and
the Human Resources ("HR") department prepares
Salary Administration Guidelines to assist supervisors in
distributing the salary increases within the budget. Bridger
Decl. ¶ 7. These guidelines also provide insight into an
employee's progression through the salary range for their
position. Id.
supervisors make initial recommendations of their
employees' salary increases and promotions. Winkelman
Dep. 99:16-100:8. The initial recommendations are reviewed
and approved by upper management to ensure consistency with
AgStar's budget for annual pay increases. Mlsna Decl. Ex.
V ("Kramer Dep.") 25:23-26:7.
Winkelman's 2011 Charge of Discrimination
starting working at AgStar as a Farm Records Technician in
1994. Winkelman Dep. 55:19-20. She currently works at salary
grade 11 as a Senior Business Analyst in AgStar's
Baldwin, Wisconsin location. Id. Since 1994,
Winkelman has received an annual salary increase and has been
promoted every three to four years. Id. 43:21-24;
164:3-6. Winkelman's supervisors have rated her "On
Target" in all of her annual performance reviews.
Id. 49:2-6; 129:20-23.
On May
5, 2011, Winkelman filed a Charge of Discrimination with the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC").
Schiek Aff. [Docket No. 27] Ex. C at 2-5 ("2011 EEOC
Charge"). Winkelman alleged that her then-supervisor,
Mel Pearson ("Pearson"), made salary and
promotional decisions based upon her age and gender.
Id. Winkelman cross-filed the 2011 charge with the
Wisconsin Equal Rights Division ("ERD").
Id. at 1.
HR representative, Leah Bridger ("Bridger"),
investigated Winkelman's allegations. Winkelman Dep.
103:15-21; Mlsna Decl. Ex. P ("Bridger Dep.")
39:12-18. Bridger spoke with Winkelman to develop an
understanding about her claim. Bridger Dep. 39:20-25. Bridger
then interviewed Pearson and Winkelman's higher-level
supervisors, Owen Thompson ("Thompson") and Jeff
Kramer ("Kramer"). Id. 40:13-16. Bridger
stated that her investigation did not substantiate
Winkelman's claims, and concluded that AgStar did not
discriminate against Winkelman. Id. 42:12-21.
August 3, 2012, the EEOC dismissed Winkelman's charge
without finding evidence to support her allegations of
discrimination. Mlsna Decl. Ex. C. The ERD claim remained
open until Winkelman voluntarily withdrew it on June 16,
2014. Schiek Aff. Ex. S.
Winkelman's 2014 Performance Review
In late
2013, Pearson retired and Bryan Paur ("Paur"),
who was Winkelman's peer, was promoted into Pearson's
position. Mlsna Decl. Ex. S ("Paur Dep.")
13:9-14. Paur directly supervised three employees, including
Winkelman. Paur Dep. 11:4-8.

and February 2015. Winkelman Dep. 129:11-19; Paur Dep.
21:13-15. During this evaluation period, Winkelman was a
Business Analyst, salary grade 10. Paur Decl. ¶ 4. In
that position, Winkelman worked with AgStar's
intermediate sized clients and underwrote loan applications,
completed accrual earning and financial reconciliation, and
monitored loan performance. Id.
productivity results were largely based on nine objective
performance metrics: 1) number of loans closed; 2) loan
amount requested; 3) loan amount approved; 4) financial
statements reviewed; 5) earnings statements reviewed; 6)
number of financial reviews completed; 7) overrides; 8) farm

5 month photo shoot

4th of July/ 5 months old
This year for the fourth Troy's brother from St.George came to visit us! We had so much fun and it was all of our first time wearing a sweater watching fireworks. Usually we are in St.George where you can hardly even go outside it is so hot.. We watched the fireworks up on a mountain on this really nice golf course and we all agreed they were the best fireworks we had ever seen!
Also my baby is 5 months old today I can't believe how fast time has gone he gets more fun every day, even though he is screaming at me right now not wanting me to be blogging! Here are a few things he does now for my record:
1. Rolls from belly to back and back to belly (sometimes he hates his tummy so he avoids rolling over but he can do it.)
2. Is starting to sit up he will sit for a minute or two by himself it is so cute!
3. Laughs more now lots of giggles I have only heard one really hard belly laugh once on the 4th of July!
4. Loves his rice cereal now or should I say banana flavored otmeal cereal that is his favorite he has a giant bowl every night.
5. Sleeps in his crib usually until around 3 or 4 5 if I am lucky than cries for a bottle (any advice on how to fix this situation?? I want him to sleep through the night...
6. He is the happiest baby and smiles at everyone he is going to be a flirt I know it. He picks the cute girls out and won't stop smiling at them! His smile melts my heart!
7. He is the best thing to ever happen to Troy and I we love you so much Tegan!!
We also went to Park City over the weekend with Rhett and Nichole and Ever we went shopping and rode the alpine slide. I was wearing flip flops and you have to take a ski lift to the top and my husband who is still a child at heart thought it was funny to joke around, and pretend to kick my flip flops off... Well funny joke when it does fly off and I have to walk around bare foot the rest of the time and the slide and the long walk back to the car. Oh well I bought two new pairs to pay him back for it!!

Rice Cereal and random pictures!
My baby is growing up and holding his own bottle .. Well not all the time yet I still hold it this was just a fluke that lasted about 2 minutes but it was sure cute!
We went to St.george for fathers day and that is the best dad in the whole world taking his little boy swimming.. The pool was freezing but Tegan did not mind he just loves to hangout with daddy!
We also got to see Tegans girlfriend Kendall! She is so cute they are starting to interact with eachother and it's so fun they are destined to be together someday I think...
Nothing else exciting here just loving being a mommy and watching him grow and learn he is such a good baby and has slept 8 hours like 5 times in the last week so that is a huge milestone for us! Oh ya and he is in his crib now, it is so nice to have our bed back but I do miss him cuddling with me sometimes!

130.8 this morning. I cannot wait to see numbers starting with 12 soon.
I am still in the midst of finals, knitting, and dealing with stress from Juan/family/my leg being swollen.
Today I am going to complete my biostatistics final, work on my study guide/flash cards for epidemiology, and have a study break with my friend and go for a run this afternoon. My leg still hurts, but I think it can handle 4-6 miles every other day.
Sorry to be so brief but I have to get back to work.
I hope everyone is doing well. For those of you that are students, the end of the semester is in sight and for most people, the holidays are approaching.
Much love, and thank you, as always, for the support.

I am currently doing one project about Mobile Robot Teleoperation, so stream video over network is one of my part. Actually there are many different approaches, but I chose OpenCV as my main approach because of its advantages in term of Computer Vision. But the crazy thing I have to do is making 2 server and client programs which run in Windows and Linux, respectively. Ok, now let's go together:
Install OpenCV
OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a library of programming functions for real time computer vision.
- OpenCV is released under a BSD license, it is free for both academic and commercial use.
- The library has >500 optimized algorithms (see figure below). It is used around the world, has >2M downloads and >40K people in the user group. Uses range from interactive art, to mine inspection, stitching maps on the web on through advanced robotics.
For more information, go to OpenCV Wiki. It is not difficult to build OpenCV in Linux, just base on Install Guide but make sure that install all Prerequisites: Python, Intel TBB, …
In Windows counterpart, I can easily build OpenCV using Microsoft Studio, but I am using program which has multi-thread (POSIX) feature, so I can't use this library for that. So I prefer to build OpenCV using Cygwin, but I didn't get success yet :d. So what I have done with that ?
- Download OpenCV-2.1.0-win32-vs2008.exe and install it
- Download OpenCV libs compiled by Cygwin and put it to the /bin and /lib from Python OpenCV project. Just download opencv210_mingw.7z
And don't forget to install Cygwin and needed packages like gcc, make, cmake, … before that 🙂
This post describes very well about what do you have to do with OpenCV and socket programming. Thank Nashruddin for great effort. But I would like to contribute some things here: cmake list and delay function.
I really love Cmake so much, it is very handy and powerful tool for cross platform applications. If you don't know what is Cmake, have a look at http://cmake.org/, you will love it for sure.
In the folder which has your source code, just create a file named CMakeLists.txt. For the server part it will be:
project(MobileApp) cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6) # Find OpenCV package FIND_PACKAGE(OpenCV REQUIRED) # Vision program add_executable(stream_server stream_server.c) target_link_libraries(stream_server ${OpenCV_LIBS})
For the client counterpart:
project(MobileApp) cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6) # Find OpenCV package FIND_PACKAGE(OpenCV REQUIRED) # Vision program add_executable(stream_client stream_client.c) target_link_libraries(stream_client ${OpenCV_LIBS})
To build the application, follow these steps:
$ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. $ make
cmake will automatically generate your Makefile based on your system configuration, so whenever you move it to other computer or other platform it will check again.
Note: there is one issue that cmake couldn't understand the parameter OpenCV_LIBS even thought it can detect OpenCV libs, so you need to add OpenCV libs by using other variable OpenCV_DIR.So you need to change ${OpenCV_LIBS} to ${OpenCV_DIR}/libs. Have a look at FindOpenCV.cmake

Samantha Daniels, a matrimonial lawyer with a matchmaking practice on the side, thought her life would be a good television show. So she pitched herself to a William Morris agent.
''I was having this really interesting life and appreciated everything happening to me,'' she said at a party last Monday for Triggerstreet.com, a site for aspiring screenwriters. ''I knew if I told it to someone the right way, it would work as TV.''
She was right. At this moment, she (or more accurately, the idea of her and her two careers) is in development as a one-hour pilot for NBC. Darren Star, of ''Beverly Hills 90210'' and ''Sex and the City,'' who is also her idol, is producing it.
''It's all about drawing from my life experiences,'' Ms. Daniels said.
She isn't alone. Right now Eminem is playing himself in ''8 Mile,'' a sanitized bio pic. Larry David is mining his antics as a self-involved Hollywood player in ''Curb Your Enthusiasm.'' Nia Vardalos, a big Greek comedian, is developing her semi-autobiographical movie, ''My Big Fat Greek Wedding,'' into a CBS series. And B. D. Wong is adapting his memoir of becoming a gay parent of twins for the screen.
In this memoir-deluged, post-Woody Allen world, royal butlers get pitch meetings, and Liza Minnelli wants to offer her life as a television show. Silence hasn't been golden for years.Continue reading the main story
Why else would Sharon Osbourne allow MTV into her family's home, even if she now regrets it as she undergoes colon cancer treatment? ''The cameras are there all the time,'' she complained to Barbara Walters on ''20/20'' last week. ''I can't throw up on my own. Ozzy can't get drunk on his own.''
I guess I should be grateful that I can.
But in a world where everyone who isn't on a postage stamp seems to be in development, I can't help coveting my own series. It's not quite as outlandish as it sounds. Last winter, an independent producer approached me after a theatrical reading I gave and proposed making my particular take on the world into a television show. Now, a big agent is working toward pitching me to the networks. Of course, if it doesn't work, a major motion picture in which I'm played by a major star would be fine, too.
That's what Susan Orlean, an unassuming New Yorker staff writer, has going right now. In the screenplay adapted from ''The Orchid Thief,'' her nonfiction book about a passionate male botanist, she turns out to be a major character played by Meryl Streep. Other than Candace Bushnell, played by Sarah Jessica Parker on ''Sex and the City,'' what hardworking writer can lay claim to such unabashed glamour?
''It's fun,'' Ms. Orlean said about her prominence in the outlandish movie, due out next month, and called ''Adaptation,'' not ''The Orchid Thief.'' She shares the protagonist role with Charlie Kaufman, the screenwriter, who suffered such writer's block adapting her book that he made himself the hero of the story.
These days you don't just write what you know, I guess. You write yourself into it, too.
''People corner me all the time,'' one agent said, ''to tell me their life would make a great movie.'' He did not want to be named for fear of a deluge of wannabes. ''Everyone's life is epic in his own eyes,'' he said.
Not mine. In fact, I think of it as anti-epic, and somewhat antiseptic and dyspeptic as well. But that doesn't mean I'm not eager to see it as a series. First of all, it would do more for my social cachet than having my teeth whitened. But I'm no lawyer or sex columnist. And I don't even do home improvements. So what would it be about?
''Not much of anything,'' said my father, who thinks he could be played by Gene Hackman or Bob Newhart as long as they can sing as well as he does around the house.
''It would be like 'Seinfeld,' '' said Ms. Daniels, the matchmaking lawyer whose life is in development at NBC, when I told her a big agent was trying to sell the idea of my life, too. ''Maybe what's interesting about your life is nothing at all.''
At one time, this observation would have felt like a kick in the stomach.

Tart cherry juice reduced runners' muscle pain, ginger cut pain after exercise, and folic acid normalized blood vessel function in non-menstruating young women runners, several new studies reveal.
Doctors in a running study said endurance athletes often treat pain with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can have serious side effects. Researchers gave 54 healthy runners, 36 men and 18 women, average age 36, 11 ounces of antioxidant-rich anti-inflammatory tart cherry juice twice per day or a placebo for seven days prior to and on the day of a 16-mile race. After the race, the tart cherry group reported one-third the pain scores of the placebo group.
Researchers in a muscle pain study wanted to test the anti-inflammatory effects of ginger. Seventy-four people took 2g of raw or heated ginger per day or a placebo for 11 days. Participants then performed 18 elbow muscle-lengthening resistance exercises to induce pain and inflammation. Both ginger groups reported about 25 percent less pain than placebo 24 hours after exercise.
In a folic acid study, researchers said that young female athletes who do not eat enough to replace the energy they use during exercise can stop menstruating (amenorrhea), causing postmenopausal-like estrogen changes that raise chances for heart problems. Reduced blood vessel dilation and elasticity are early signs of these changes.
Ten women with amenorrhea and reduced blood vessel function, and 10 without, who were college or recreational runners, aged 18 to 35, not on birth control pills, who ran at least 20 miles per week for the past year, took 10 mg of folic acid per day or a placebo. After four weeks, in the amenorrheic women who had taken folic acid, blood vessel function returned to normal.

Dorothy H. Roberts, 94
HARRISON — Dorothy H. Roberts, 94, died peacefully at her Harrison home on Monday, Sept. 7, 2015.
Dorothy was born on May 16, 1921, in Haverhill, Mass., to Esther and John Bruyere, and was the oldest of six siblings.
Dorothy met her husband, Donel, on a blind date and, according to him, "it must have stuck" because they were married on Nov. 22, 1940. Together they raised their three children, Linda, Donel Jr., and Kenneth in Sudbury, Mass.
Dorothy worked as the Assistant Town Accountant for the town of Sudbury, for many years, and she and her husband were very well-known members of their tight-knit community.
During her retirement years Dorothy and her husband summered at their lakefront home in Harrison, and wintered in Florida.
Dorothy was a very talented woman whose creativity shone in her many artistic endeavors. Dorothy was a whiz at the sewing machine and used to whip up all sorts of clothes for her children and grandchildren. She was a skilled jewelry-maker and silver-smith and would create beautiful pieces of jewelry to give as gifts. She even made her husband a new wedding ring when the original no longer fit. She liked to dabble in watercolor and once won an award for one of her wildlife paintings.
Dorothy was always up for an adventure and loved to travel. She was an avid swimmer and enjoyed many summers swimming in Long Lake. She enjoyed entertaining friends and family and was an amazing cook. She also loved to garden and some of her best dishes were made with ingredients she had grown herself. Often she would send a pack of grandchildren out with buckets to collect blackberries or blueberries, and she would always reward their work with a delicious treat.
Dorothy will be dearly missed by her beloved husband Donel; her three children, Linda, Donel Jr., and Kenneth; her two daughters-in-law, Elizabeth and Nancy; her seven grandchildren, Jessica, Trevor, Jena, Sara, Tyler, Abby and Kyleigh; and her five great-grandchildren, William, Patrick, Lilian, Benjamin and Reed.
Visitation was held Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Chandler Funeral Home, 8 Elm Street, Bridgton, Maine. The Funeral mass will be on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 11 a.m. at St. Joseph Church in Bridgton, followed by a private graveside service in Sudbury, Mass. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Meals on Wheels. Online condolences may be shared with her family at www.chandlerfunerals.com

Publisher's Description▼▲
This is the story of the birth and growth of Seattles innovative Mars Hill Church, one of Americas fastest growing churches located in one of Americas toughest mission fields. Its also the story of the growth of a pastor, the mistakes hes made along the way, and Gods grace and work in spite of those mistakes. Mark Driscolls emerging, missional church took a rocky road from its start in a hot, upstairs youth room with gold shag carpet to its current weekly attendance of thousands. With engaging humor, humility, and candor, Driscoll shares the failures, frustrations, and just plain messiness of trying to build a church that is faithful to the gospel of Christ in a highly post-Christian culture. In the telling, hes not afraid to skewer some sacred cows of traditional, contemporary, and emerging churches. Each chapter discusses not only the hard lessons learned but also the principles and practices that worked and that can inform your churchs ministry, no matter its present size. The book includes discussion questions and appendix resources. After reading a book like this, you can never go back to being an inwardly focused church without a mission. Even if you disagree with Mark about some of the things he says, you cannot help but be convicted to the inner core about what it means to have a heart for those who dont know Jesus.Dan Kimball, author,The Emerging Church will make you laugh, cry, and get mad school you, shape you, and mold you into the right kind of priorities to lead the church in todays messy world.Robert Webber, Northern Seminary

Merrill Lynch pays high price for bad advice / $100 million fine after analysts disparaged stocks privately, issued 'buy' ratings publicly
In a deal intended to help remedy flagrant conflicts of interest in the investment banking business, Merrill Lynch agreed Tuesday to pay $100 million to settle allegations that it misled investors with overly bullish reports on Internet companies during the go-go 1990s.
New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has been investigating whether analysts touted the stocks of certain companies in order to gain lucrative investment banking deals from them. His inquiry is believed to have expanded to virtually every major Wall Street bank. Following Spitzer's lead, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the federal agency that is supposed to regulate the financial markets, has announced that it is also looking into the matter.
Internal company e-mails obtained by Spitzer showed that Merrill officials privately disparaged companies -- calling them "crap" and "junk" -- while maintaining "buy" ratings on their stocks and touting them publicly.
Under the agreement with Spitzer, Merrill agreed to fully separate the pay it gives to analysts from the revenue the firm collects from its investment banking deals.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Merrill Chairman David Komansky and Chief Executive E. Stanley O'Neal took the unusual step of apologizing to their investing clients, shareholders and employees and acknowledged the damage done to the firm's reputation.
"Clearly it hasn't helped," Komansky said. "We haven't suffered any defections of sales people. We don't think we've suffered defections of clients, but certainly our reputation has been impacted, and that's something we're going to work hard to re-establish."
Wall Street analysts became cheerleaders for Internet companies during the 1990s as hundreds went public during the stock market boom. Analysts touted shares to individual -- and sometimes unsophisticated -- investors through mass-market channels like CNBC. They also provided their research to stockbrokers who passed recommendations on to their clients.
But many of these analysts had a conflict of interest. They worked for banks that were performing lucrative corporate finance work for the very companies they were touting. Often, the performance of the Internet companies did not merit the exuberance.
Merrill shares closed at $43.85 Tuesday, up 47 cents for the day, but down more than 18 percent since the probe was announced April 8. The $100 million settlement -- paid from the company's profits -- equals about 15 percent of its first quarter earnings of $647 million.
Some $48 million of the settlement will go to the state of New York, with the remainder paid to other states that have launched similar inquiries.
Ultimately, no analyst came to embody the conflict of interest in the investment banking community more than Merrill Lynch's star Internet analyst Henry Blodget, who wrote some of the most flagrant e-mails obtained in Spitzer's investigation. Blodget, who once predicted that Amazon.com would rise to $400 a share, has since left the firm and is said to be writing a book.
Amazon is currently trading for around $20 a share.
Spitzer launched an investigation of Merrill's research practices last year.
Though state authorities rarely get involved in investment banking cases, Spitzer pursued it under a relatively obscure law that prohibits fraud in financial transactions.
"Real reform is the key to restoring investor confidence," Spitzer said in a prepared statement Tuesday. "This agreement changes the way Wall Street will operate -- severing the compensation link between the research and banking divisions that tainted investment advice."
In its research reports, Merrill also will disclose whether the firm has, or is pursuing, an investment banking relationship with the company that it is covering.
How much real reform will occur is under debate. Komansky said on Tuesday that analysts would still participate in company "road shows" -- multicity tours in which companies tout their shares for investors. That means analysts will still have a promotional role in touting shares.
Merrill executives also acknowledged that analyst pay would still be based in part on the overall profitability of the firm, even if it is not related to specific deals.
Merrill agreed to form a committee to review all analyst work and ensure that objectivity and integrity standards are met. It also will appoint a monitor for one year to make sure the terms of the agreement are complied with.
In addition, the firm is creating a system to monitor electronic communications between investment bankers and research analysts.
BANKING CONCESSIONSUnder the terms of its settlement with New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer,
investment bank Merrill Lynch agreed to:
-- Pay a $100 million fine.
-- Separate analyst compensation from its investment banking success.
-- Create a panel to review stock rating changes.
-- Appoint a "compliance monitor" for one year.
-- Monitor e-mails between investment bankers and research analysts.
-- Disclose in research reports whether the firm has received or is entitled to receive any compensation from a covered company during the past 12 months. . Source: Chronicle news services

My Mom is the GREATEST!!! Not only did she teach me to sew and to love fabric, but she also keeps me in supplies. I get boxes of fabric, bags of zippers, threads, needles, embroidery files, ribbons.... anything and everything I could possibly need.
This is one of the patterns that she bought me that has made me the most excited! My Boos loves shoes... even as a little tiny baby she was drawn to them. This child has had more shoes in her lifetime than anybody I've ever known. She even asks for them for birthdays and Christmas and Easter. She LOVES shoes!!!
So, this is the perfect pattern for her or any shoe and slipper lover. I made three pair of shoes this weekend, but plan to make many more!
The first pair, I made for Lucy with satin leopard (from Hobby Lobby) and some scraps (from a dress my Mom made her)of cotton with red and white hearts. I top stitched the slippers with red thread and added the little red buttons.
...every time we are looking for buttons (in the huge box from my MOM)Lucy always picks out all of the heart buttons and carries them around....
The second pair, I made for Boos. She picked out her fabrics- a pink satin and (my favorite little girl print) a sweet rosebud flannel for the lining. Then I added the little ribbon roses. I love those!
and the third pair, I made for one of my girlfriends who had her first baby a couple months ago. She is a dance teacher and an amazing dancer- so Lakelyn had to have some ballet shoes. I'm sure she will inherit her Mommy's talents.
I made hers more traditional with light pink satin and the satin ribbons to tie on the legs and I added these adorable tags from digistitches. I just love those!
Here's a picture of them on the girls My size Barbie... now Ella wants me to make some for her.... sigh. Maybe.... but some for me first!

Nicole - completely ADORABLE!!!!! I didn't think it could get any better than those crazy leopard shoes, but the little tiny ballet ones are every bit as gorgeous! I love dropping in to see what you've been making... My blog time is few and far between (I started back to college full time in August) and my sewing time is even more limited, but you are always whetting my appetite to make something.
Hope that you all are well!

It has been said that beer is a social lubricant and cycling is social and add beer to something already social and things get even more slippery. Now add snow and fat bikes to that slippery occasion and all you can do is slide. No friction, smooth and easy. I think we have everything covered nicely.

Li Ka-shing is the world's 12th richest man with a fortune of US$38 billion by Bloomberg estimates and No. 21 with a US$27.6 billion net worth on the Forbes real-time list.
Let's strip out the difference in the compilers' treatment of his assets and the considerable gap in his wealth.
The fact is the Hong Kong tycoon, also known as Superman, is flying high. He is up at least three rungs in the rich league table from this time last year.
Since Li announced the restructuring of his two flagship companies earlier this year, his fortune has surged more than 50 percent.
By Bloomberg's reckoning, he is the second richest Chinese on the planet, outstripping Jack Ma, whose blockbuster Alibaba listing in the United States last year made him a very wealthy man.
Forbes and Bloomberg list mainland property billionaire Wang Jianlin as the wealthiest Chinese with a fortune of US$39.7 billion and US$44.6 billion, respectively.
Li's fellow Hong Kong billionaire, Henderson Land chairman Lee Shau-kee, is 25th on the Forbes list (US$25.4 billion ) and 37th on Bloomberg (US$21 billion).
Despite his 86 years, Li is known for his sense of timing. Most times, its spot-on as shown in his landmark asset restructuring. The changes became effective on June 3.
After the reorganization, Li has 30 percent of both Cheung Kong Property, which owns his real estate assets, and CK Hutchison, which holds assets ranging from ports, infrastructure to mobile phone networks, according to Bloomberg.
Li's other publicly traded holdings include Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong and Cheung Kong Infrastructure and his shares are held through several holding companies and trusts.
The asset restructuring freed up key assets by removing the so-called holding company discount, a metric for valuing companies that merely hold assets and have no business activities of their own.
Hutchison shareholders have gained nearly 50 percent, assuming they have converted their holding into CKH shares.
By comparison, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong's largest property developer, and Henderson Land are up 13 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index is up 17 percent and the H-share index up 18 percent.
Interestingly, the Hong Kong stock market is enjoying a rip-roaring run, with nearly 40 percent of all listed stocks surging more than 52 percent.
A total of 681 companies out of 1,714 have gained by that much since Jan. 9, according to data provider webb-site.com.
Leading the pack is BEP International, which saw a 40-fold increase.
For perspective on the performance of Li Ka-shing's stocks, we have to look at those two flagships before the restructuring.
If you had one share each of Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa then, these would be worth a combined HK$212.40 on Jan.9 (CK at HK$125, HWL at HK$87.40).
Now you have a combined 1.68 shares of CKH Holdings (HK$118) and CK Property (HK$74) worth HK$322.50, up 51.8 percent.
If you are a Cheung Kong shareholder, your shares are worth HK$192 each today, up 53.6 percent from HK$125 on Jan. 9.
And if you are a Hutchison shareholder, your shares are worth HK$130.50, up 49.3 per cent from HK$87.40.
CKH Holdings is now a conglomerate in Li's business empire focused on telecommunications, especially in Europe. The group is the No. 1 mobile operator in Britain.
CK Property is a pure property play that merged with former Hutchison Whampoa Properties to become the second largest property company in Hong Kong behind Sun Hung Kai.

Recently I've been thinking, would I actually blog any differently if I did share my links? I don't really write anything strongly opinionated, I share some of my thoughts on things but I'm yet to write any too personal. I mainly write about our day to day lives, and that's the reason I started it. It's not like I'd intended it to be anything else. So no, I probably wouldn't blog any differently if I were to share a link. Yet I still don't want to, and I don't really know why.
It may sound a little odd, but I feel like this is my own personal space, even though it's on the Internet, and I do love that people actually read this, I just kind of like that hardly any of them know me personally. I know it probably doesn't make any sense, I don't really understand it myself. It's like when a friend at school didn't want people he actually knew on Twitter, he said he didn't want them to see his private thoughts he put on there, I thought it was bizarre at the time and couldn't understand it, but now I kinda do.
