One of the factors that limits my practice time is comfort. My existing el-cheapo guitar strap was constantly biting into the side of my neck, and I would have to break concentration and shift it more to my shoulder. One GAS-search evening, I came across this guy on EBay (and ETSY) who sells handmade ergonomic guitar straps for left hand and right hand players.
Note the one shown is a Left Hand strap. See pics below.
First, very high quality construction, from the leather tooling to the suede lining, with integrated pockets for picks and a capo. The cut holes are a perfect snug fit for Schaller-type strap locks, and length is adjusted with the leather weaving on the back end. The fit is very, very comfortable, and does not move from the center-shoulder position shown.
I'd highly recommend getting an ergonomic guitar strap. There are many suppliers out there - mine was "Ergoguitarstraps" on Etsy.com

Woot! Everytime I look at it I smile! I've had to look at it a lot after yesterday's Downton Abbey...... *mutter*
Anyway, now to the quilt. Still needs it's binding of course but here it is. Ignore any cat hair you see, Tama decided I needed help with the quilting. Silly cat!
Some quilting close ups.
I did a lot of different quilting designs, just whatever took my fancy at the time. Tomorrow I'm going to start adding borders to the second of these so I can get it done before I see the girls these are going to on March 8. My ALYOF goal will not get met this month but I'll recycle it for next month. Hubby already said he can wait till the end of March for his quilt. What a good guy!

Spirituality Groups for Adults

Chair Yoga (twice weekly)
These yoga classes are designed to share the healing aspects of yoga. Individuals exercise and strengthen their bodies in a friendly, positive atmosphere with a trained yoga instructor.
- Tuesday morning from 10 to 11 am
- Friday afternoon from noon to 1 pm
Women's Buddhist Study Group (weekly)
The Women's Buddhist Study Group focuses on mutual support and the practical implementation of Buddhism in order to enrich our daily lives. Our format is to check in, read aloud from our selected book, comment on, and discuss what we have just read, and then meditate for thirty minutes. Our readings about Buddhist practice and philosophy are written by contemporary writers and Buddhist teachers, and are chosen by group consensus. We meet in the chapel from 10:30 a.m. until 12:00 every Tuesday. Newcomers welcomed.
Yoga (weekly)
Chalice Yoga meets Tuesday evenings from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. We teach a beginning level hatha yoga class intended for all ages and ability levels, and we welcome newcomers at any time. You should dress in loose, comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat if you have one. We also keep some yoga mats at Chalice for student use. This is a fun, relaxed approach to yoga that will leave you feeling stretched, calm and happy. We request a $5 donation to Chalice for each class if you are able, based on the Buddhist notion of "Dāna," or the cultivation of generosity as a virtue and a way of purifying karma.

Sources said that Rahul returned to India via a Thai Airways flight and was in a South East Asian country. Sources added that Rahul was in Yangon, Myanmar at a famous meditation retreat centre. He was supposed to return on Wednesday night but his connecting flight from Bangkok was delayed, hence he arrived on Thursday morning.
Sources added that Rahul had requested that Special Protection Group cover should not be with him during his stay abroad and he was being given security cover of the respective country.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her daughter Priyanka arrived at Rahul's residence to meet him.
The party has confirmed that Rahul will be leading a Kisan rally against the Land Acquisition Bill on April 19. Seeking to put pressure on the Modi dispensation, Congress is planning a massive mobilisation of farmers across the country.
The rally assumes significance as it is being held on the eve of the opening of the second phase of the Budget session of Parliament and at a time when the government has re-promulgated the Land Acquisition Ordinance.
There were voices of dissent within the party over his long leave with senior leaders questioning the timing oh his vacation. Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh said that Rahul is entitled to a leave but the timing was wrong. "I want him to lead from the front. He should be more hands on. I think he has to lead his own life, at the same time today's politics is 24×7 job, and he needs to be more hands on."

New Left Review 101, September-October 2016
william davies
In a July 2015 interview, the former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis gave an insight into his exchanges with the representatives of Greece's creditors at eu Finance Ministers' meetings. What stood out was his depiction of almost surreal levels of incomprehension: 'You put forward an argument that you've really worked on—to make sure it's logically coherent—and you're just faced with blank stares. It is as if you haven't spoken. What you say is independent of what they say. You might as well have sung the Swedish national anthem.' [1] Yanis Varoufakis, 'My five-month battle to save Greece', New Statesman, 16 July 2015. The promise of a common European public sphere, bound together by reasoned deliberation, which has enamoured liberals for over two hundred years, appears broken. The post-war reconstitution of this project, which placed the Common Market at its heart, has reached its limit, as many of its former enthusiasts now accept. Varoufakis's comment is symptomatic of a new strain of political dissent that cannot be simply classed as critique. Rather, it is an expression of bewilderment that dominant forms of economic regulation persist, apparently impervious to evidence, evaluation or the merits of alternatives. Once critique is no longer even heard or recognized, critics may as well say anything.

Always Patriotic: Former
Published 11/2/07Barnstable Patriot sportswriter Chris Price, sports editor at the daily Metro Boston, is co-hosting a show on 890 AM ESPN on Sunday mornings before New England Patriots games . A well-deserved award was presented to Barnstable High School art department head Carl Lopes yesterday after the paper's deadline. He received the first Educator of the Year honor from the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod in a ceremony at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod in South Yarmouth. Other winners were Harry Holl of Dennis (Lifetime Achievement), Martin Tulloch of Falmouth (Community Leadership), and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum Student Curating Project (Collaborative Arts Project) . From top (lane closures on the Sagamore Bridge) to bottom (shoreline path shutdowns), the Cape Cod Canal is in off-season mode. The latest announcement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is that rip-rap stone along the seven-mile "landcut" must be replaced, causing section-by-section closures of service roads, recreation areas and parking lots. Work begins Monday on our side of the Canal from the railroad bridge to the Bourne bridge. The project is to be completed in four months . It's two in a row for the Overnights of Hospitality program. For the second straight month, no women need to spend the night in a house of worship. Program coordinator Alan Burt reports that the opening of Elise House in Hyannis has answered the need. Although nearby Faith House is providing housing for some men in the program, there's still a need for some to stay at participating churches and synagogues. "Your love and support this past year has enabled us to find permanent housing for nearly 50 men and women," Burt wrote in an e-mail message . Cape teens could use a little TLC -- Teens Love Christmas, that is. TLC, a program of the Salvation Army Hyannis Corps, provides donated gift cards and gifts to children ages 13 to 17. More than four hundred eligible children have been identified. Checks may be mailed to the Salvation Army, PO Box 369, Hyannis MA 02601. Sponsors are still being sought for the Dress A Live Doll program for younger children; call 508-775-0364 .Be a Santa to a Senior is a new program of Home Instead Senior Care and Cape agencies (including the Barnstable Senior Center) and retailers working to ensure that isolated elders will receive a holiday gift. This week, trees went up at Citizens Bank's seven Cape branches, displaying ornaments with the first names and gift requests of participating seniors. Shoppers can choose an ornament, buy the item, and bring it unwrapped to the tree host. Volunteers will wrap all items Dec. 10 and deliver the gifts over the following days . Too Late for the Listings: The Cape Cod Landscape Association will meet Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. at Stonewood products, Route 130 in Mashpee, to hear about landscape lighting trends. To RSVP, call Diane Johnson at 877-432-3156 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

In March, the Eyres Action Sport Games took to the foreshore of Mandurah, WA. It was a thrill packed weekend of Skateboarding, BMX, Freestyle Motocross and the IWWF's 36th World Cup stop, featuring Jump, Shortboard and Wakeboard. On the opposite side of the estuary, the famous 'Mandurah Crabfest' was also in full swing. With all this excitement happening in the centre of one of Australia's most beautiful locations the atmosphere was immense.
The weekend of broadcast was made ever more brilliant with advertisers from the Red Bull, Mastercraft, Eyres Optics and Visit Australia making contributions as well as the chaps at Pro-Active TV and TSG providing fresh features, interviews and highlights throughout the event. Check out some of the impressive high speed replays the guys from TSG created using the Sony FS700 below.
Highlights - Day 2
Highlights - Day 3 Mandurah is such an alluring place, great weather, turquoise waters, friendly and helpful people and packs of dolphins saying hello. I'm looking forward to returning to this part of the world, if only for a relaxing break and catching up with new friends.
Please head over to to watch the weekend in its entirety, and heres to Indonesia in May!

Published by: Herald Scotland
Surveyor on the rise after 'seamless' merger
TWO venerable Scottish surveying firms which merged late last year have set their sights on further expansion, after declaring that the integration of the companies has been "seamless".
Shepherd Chartered Surveyors and Hardies, which have respective histories stretching back more than 100 years, came together in a deal concluded on December 1.
The merger was billed as creating Scotland's "leading powerhouse" in property and construction services, combining Shepherd's strength in property valuation, management and agency with Hardies' expertise in construction services, including quantity surveying and project management
The enlarged practice employs around 350 staff in total, turning over a combined £25 million, although the two company names have continued to exist, reflecting the strength the brands have in their respective areas of specialism.
Hardies' partner Murray Warner said the company has so far seen no ill-effects of the wider political uncertainty, be it brought by Brexit, the upcoming General Election or the prospect of a second independence referendum, on business.
And he signalled the firm's appetite for growth, revealing that it was keen to expand its presence south of the Border. Shepherds, which can trace its roots back to 1880, had built a minimal presence in England before the merger, while St Andrews-based Hardies had yet to venture into the market.
Asked if the company would consider making acquisitions, Mr Warner replied: "Yes, the intention is to grow and compete at the highest level across Scotland and, more medium to longer term, there is the intention to expand across the UK."
Mr Warner said the merger had brought a spike in new business leads as a result of combing their respective strengths and their client networks, highlighting the "huge synergy" between the two businesses.
"We're seeing a lot of activity, and since we merged on the first of December, we've had a lot of enquiries," he said. "The market does seem to be strong.
"We're getting a lot of social housing projects, because there seems to be quite a lot of funding at the moment for social [and] affordable housing. That's a big sector for us. But we are just seeing quite a lot of general commercial projects that are happening. There doesn't seem to be any signs of slowing [in] the market at all."
Noting good progress in the process of integrating offices following the merger, which will not result in job losses, Mr Warner added: "If we get guys sharing an office it means we can cross-pollinate services. That's already working really well. Shepherd's agency guys have got sites they are trying to sell for clients, and we have got clients who are looking for sites to be developments.
"There is such a good tie-up. That's the mean reason we are trying to get guys in the same offices - so that they can help each other and share clients."
Asked to comment on current projects, Mr Warner highlighted Hardies' consultancy management work on the new main stand for Heart of Midlothian Football Club. The firm also recently completed a refurbishment contract for newspaper publisher DC Thomson on its new head office in Dundee city centre - a 10-storey B listed building on Meadowside.Back to News

In that category (SE) the true benefits of the CIS are realized. Those companies with an SE strategy that were pursuing a sophisticated CIS were able to reap performance benefits for their firms and most of the relationship between CIS and performance comes from the SE firm. Also, firms in these B2B services categories pursuing either the SE or pure Differentiation strategy had better performance than firms in other categories.
Overall, the impact of strategy selection on customer performance was nearly three times that of the CIS, confirming what many business managers know already. That strategy should drive information systems development and not the other way around.
That said, the impact of the CIS on customer performance variables is about 5%; managing customer information well explains about 5% of the variability in the customer performance data in our sample. Getting a five percent increase measures like share of wallet, customer retention and customer lifetime value is important but must be understood in the context of other choices for firm investment. And again, the real benefit of the CIS may be the ability to measure performance from a marketing point of view.

A man is facing multiple charges after being busted driving while intoxicated with hallucinogens and THC oil in his possession during a routine traffic stop on Route 44.
New York State Police troopers in Highland stopped Wallkill resident Eric Nichol, 37, on Route 44/55 in Lloyd on Monday night for a vehicle and traffic violation. During the subsequent traffic stop, it was determined that Nichol was driving while under the influence of drugs while also in possession of the drugs.
Nichol was arrested at the scene and charged with a felony count of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, as well as three counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and operating a motor vehicle while ability impaired by drugs, all misdemeanors.
Following arraignment, Nichol was remanded to the Ulster County Jail without bail. He is due back in court later this year to answer the charges.

How I Achieved Maximum Success with Providers
How to Get a Free Insurance Quote
Whenever you are purchasing any valuable items, it is important that you are assured of their safety especially if it exposed to a variety of risks for example vehicles and it is therefore important for you to have a contingency plan in case they occur and the most common solution to this predicament that people go for is insurance. Insurance is a contract where an insurance company insures a certain valuable item or even life against a risk at a specific cost and when the risk occurs and causes the loss of the item that was insured, the insurance company will compensate you for the loss with the main objective being returning you to the original financial state you were before the loss occurred.
The insurance of some items in some countries is normally a legal obligation for example taking a comprehensive cover for a vehicle and you therefore have to consider the amount you will have to pay to the insurance company which is in the form of premiums. You additionally ought to be financially prepared when you are going for the insurance cover and you can do this getting an insurance quote which is a statement that exhibits the probable total that you will pay to an insurance company for the cover of a particular risk and this information can be found by calling an insurance company agent or looking on the web.
You can get a free insurance quote from the web or by calling an insurance company agent where you should give a lot of information concerning the kind of cover you require which may take a huge amount of time and you in this way should be tireless as it could require an extensive measure of time to process the cost of your premiums. The insurance quote will give you a rough gauge of the total aggregate of money you need to pay an insurance company for the cover of a particular risk which is at risk to change with different insurance associations which will offer different rates for the cover of different risks.
It is vital that you make sure you get your insurance quote from a legitimate source, preferably from the insurance company you wish to have the insurance contract with for you to get the exact expected amount of money you are to pay to the insurance company for the cover. Insurance quotes are basic and ought to be considered before getting an insurance cover with some insurance associations giving a markdown when they are giving an insurance quote as a way to encourage more people to have insurance contracts with them.

Hello Readers! Today I am sharing with you an absolutely gorgeous lipstick that I purchased from Sephora when on holiday last summer. The milder weather that we were experiencing in England appears to have been packed away with the Christmas lights, so I thought it was the perfect Monday to remind myself of happier times!
BITE Beauty create lipstick that is, quite literally, good enough to eat! All the products are created in small batches in Canada using natural 'food grade' ingredients. It wasn't the promise of organic ingredients that sold this brand to me, but when you think about it, everything we put on our lips is eaten so it makes perfect sense to invest in products that are good for you. What is extra special about BITE Beauty, is that not only are they all natural but the colours and formula really do stand out as being special. All the colours in the Butter Cream collection are pretty, natural colours that really do help you to look the very best version of yourself. I chose Rosewood – a beautiful plum rose colour.
You may have noticed the 'hand cut' protective layer on the top of the lipstick. This method creates the most glossiest, creamy lipstick I have ever used. Hand cutting the bullet removes the outer waxy layer to expose the lipsticks creamy core.
The lipstick applied very smoothly, but the flat hand cut finish was a little hard to apply around the cupids bow. Using a lip brush would help and I will definitely try this next time. The finish was lovely and glossy and felt very comfortable on my lips. It has all the benefits of a lip balm and really soothed my lips in the cold weather.
The colour lasted for about two hours, which considering the high gloss was longer than expected.
BITE Beauty Butter Cream Lipstick is priced at $28.00 (approx. £20.38) and is available from Sephora (who ship internationally!)
I hope you enjoyed reading my Lipstick Monday post today. I certainly enjoyed wearing it! Have you tried these lipsticks? Are you able to recommend another shade for me to try? I would love to hear from you as always!
Talk to you all soon x

The Blue Train
The train leaves, the way
blue enters into green
wagons are horseless,
the whistle blows in threes.
The day is calm,
and trees hide bees,
the tunes you hear have rhythm
in their wings.
It's a footstep day
to museum, gold and trams
a horse stands
aside purple ropes,
the whistle blows again.
It's turtle slow
a second clattery ride
an engine pulling blue
with nowhere to hide.

Hi guys,
Preview before submit widget to the last page of my form. When I select it, I can indeed preview all pages (I have 14). But, if I want to edit and hit the 'back' button, I can only see the last page with the only button being "Preview Answers". How can I edit specific pages or just go back to the first page and start editing answers from there?
Thanks!Page URL:

You need to enable the back button of the page break that is below your "Preview" widget:
Let us know if you need more help, we will be glad to assist you.
- cmacjAnswered on January 30, 2017 at 03:45 PMThat sort-of worked. I added the back button but it only brings me to the previous page that has the Preview Answers button on it. So, I can't go to a specific page, I have to hit the back button until I get to the page that I want, is that correct?
- JotForm SupportBDAVIDAnswered on January 30, 2017 at 03:53 PM
That is not possible, you have to hit the back button until you get to the page that you want to.

Those type of speed tests don't mean jack to me. I go by what I can download / upload at a sustained speed, meaning how fast on average my download speed is while I'm downloading (for keeps, not streaming) a multi gigabyte HD movie. The most I've seen is around 2.2 MB per second, about the same as my GF's cable connection. It varies alot and I'm hoping for more stability in the future. I've done those speed tests also, getting some big numbers, but those speeds cannot be maintained that's for sure. (I'm talking about paid wireless hotspotting to my laptop and I'm getting my money's worth for sure!)
The photos posted were about average over a several hour period while in an area of Richmond and 3 days in a row at different times of the day. I posted the lowest and highest I got on that Friday.

I don't run the speed test app too much but I'm always looking at how fast my actual movie downloads and uploads are doing and I've NEVER seen a combined total over 2.2 MBPS
The "speedtest" doesn't download 8 gigabyte HD movies nor does it begin to convince me that I'm getting any useful speeds (sustainable) over 2.2 MBPS and still I'm quite happy with what I'm really getting.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. They are often referred to as twisters or cyclones, although the word cyclone is used in meteorology, in a wider sense, to name any closed low pressure circulation. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes. Source

Concept of Virtual Storage
Q17. Explain the concept of virtual storage.
Ans. A program can be stored at non contiguous locations, suppose even if we use all available free memory areas still the program cannot be loaded into the main storage because the total free memory is still less than the size of the program. To solve such a problem, we require a technique with which a program can still be executed even if all of it is not loaded in the memory. Virtual storage helps one perform such an execution. Two main approaches to virtual storage are
- program-paging
- program-segmentation

About the best snorkel
Suunto makes simpler in Portugal
Diving an opportunity to get flora
Suunto - Diving fans understand what I'm talking about: hardly the summer time (and even when temperatures are not as hot), there is an irresistible urge to fit with prestigious branded items like Suunto , and (re) discover the marine treasures that are hidden in the Portuguese aquatic world.
Sesimbra is generally among the places of choice. There's not any lack of motives. Let us begin with highlighting Ponta da Passagem, which is situated in the neighborhood of Cape Espichel. Counting a passage from east to west - and that gives it its title - this spot stands out for the cliffs that be able to protect a small bay where, in general, the diving action begins at about eight meters deep.
Finding the famed laminaria - practically extinct - is among the greatest reasons for a sportsman to "catch" his Suunto gear and immerse himself in these oceans.
The Lion's Stone is another area of extreme significance for people who do not survive without diving. Notably a quieter dive. First of all, an individual ought to underline its own configuration, which looks in the distance the shape of the feline's head.
Located near the port of Sesimbra, the stone rests on a bottom out of four to 13 meters deep, with large stones (to the north) and sand (to the south). Here, it is likely to contact with cuttlefish, octopuses, sea breams, cape ... Also note the sponges and anemones that line the caves having the most diverse colors.
The Berlengas archipelago is an invitation to research debris and caves
The reasons for diving in Portugal, utilizing substances from Suunto , extend past the region of Sesimbra.
This is the case of the Berlengas archipelago , situated 10 kilometers from Peniche and recognized as the world's first safe area. This set of islands is even characterized by its flexibility: through Suunto, beginner sportsmen can start by practicing easy levels of diving and the more experienced can challenge themselves with much more complex activities and take a glimpse of some series of schools.
Sea bass and sargos are only a couple of the examples. Lovers of investigating caves and read more wrecks also have a tendency to be lax with the Berlengas archipelago.
Frequently, snorkelers take their Suunto equipment and venture into the Garajau and Porto website Santo Reserves. Found in the archipelago of Madeira, these areas are extremely well-known for all their colour and for the caves which arouse such curiosity.
Remember that Porto Santo delivers a unique experience for sportsmen, resembling the tropical tides. Between one and another tide, it's still possible to see mantas, salemas and sea lions.

But I'm still pretty focused on doing things the "right way." I follow my teaching guides closely, especially in teaching literacy. Oh, I've gone my own way a few times and decide to read books that I enjoy as part of the thinking, reading, comprehending process. But I've been focused on using familiar and "tried and true" children's books.
Something I've been trying to get working in my room is a simple classroom library that kids can use to take home books to read (and use for independent reading in the classroom). I struggled to get this working. Finally I got some books pulled together into groupings and instigated a "sort of" process that will develop the rest of this year. (And next year will be so much better!)
As we have started this new venture, some kids have started bringing other books to classroom. And, often, they want me to read them to the class. One of my Spiderman-obsessed boys brought a Spiderman book. (It was a Spiderman story in book form, not comic book form. And it was written at an appropriate level.) And he wanted me to read it.
Now this book is not "great literature" and probably won't become a children's book classic. I hesitated to read it and put him off for a day or so. (And, truly, we didn't have time on those days.) I remembered something that I read in The Book Whisperer. (I read it a couple of years ago. I may need to read it again for my new adventure!) She stresses finding books that kids want to read and letting them choose books that interest them. So I decided we would read it.
As we read, we noted that Spiderman was a compound word (something we're working on now). We made predictions and inferences about the story throughout. Kids asked questions about what was happening and we reasoned through some of the gaps in the story that were not explained. All the things we do when we read other books or leveled readers. Spiderman can teach literacy!
I learned a lesson that day, too. It doesn't really matter what we read. We can make connections and draw conclusions. We can talk about sounds and characters and setting. And they were engaged...as engaged as any other book we read. I wouldn't want to read only these books - but all reading can be valuable.
Who knows what we'll read next?!

I find it amazing that our family went so long without getting colds. We are paying now, the family has spent all of February with on and off colds. Liam still has a lower immune system, but as usual, he handles it like nothing is different. Liam got a cold and seemed to have gotten over it. Unfortunately, the cold symptoms have returned. Liam is the only one in our family who doesn't change their pace when they get a cold. As usual there is no laying down and resting for this kid! It is a reminder that in Liam's life, he may not actually remember feeling good. A cold is nothing to him.
It's scanxiety time again. For me, it starts a week before the MRI/lumbar puncture. Liam's 3 month MRI/lumbar puncture is on Wednesday. He gets anesthetic for it, but he does need to be healthy. This cold better not delay it!
In a few weeks, Liam has surgery scheduled to remove his central line. Liam is indifferent, not knowing the risks associated with having a catheter hanging from his body that goes straight to his heart. Troy and I are super aware and can't wait to have it removed. Not to mention the maintenance and cost of having to a "heparin lock" every other day. We inject heparin into his central line to keep it from clotting. We have to change the dressing/tape that covers it every week. We have to be super careful to keep it dry during Liam's bath, and there is no swimming with it. Having this removed will be a big step to a more normal life!
Having said all this, Liam is so used to it, he is a bit concerned when we talk about taking it out. In the picture, we have it taped up to him, normally the "noodles" just hang down to almost his waist. Just the curled part is covered with tape.

Music can have a robust impact on the lives of those who pay attention, whether or not it's Country or Rap music. Just as individuals draw inspiration from music, music additionally draws inspiration from varied sources. It is tough to get to the foundation of inventive works, but each murals, including music, has a beginning. One's opinion of what is artistic, inspiration, and influential will differ from individual to individual, which is why music is split into genres. One characteristic of growing different musical genres, corresponding to Country and Rap, is that it's created to accommodate individual choice. There are three key aspects of Country and Rap music that contribute to the diversity of both genres.

That is not a proven fact verifiable by solid evidence. This is merely my own opinion based on firsthand observations. Let me explain why I developed that hypothesis. But first, some background information.
Last night around 11:00 a freak thunderstorm blew through the Washington D.C. area. One minute I was watching television, the next the trees around my house were blowing violently, the loose items on my back deck were being thrown about, and I could hear the wind slamming into the aluminum siding. The lights flickered, went out, and came back on several times. The rain was heavy but brief, and within twenty minutes the storm had passed on and everything had returned to normal.
This morning, after breakfast, I went out to do some errands. I was surprised to find that half my city was without power, including about seventy-five percent of the traffic lights. But I was dumbstruck at how people were reacting.
Now mind you, this was just a freak thunderstorm. There were no tornadoes, or sustained hurricane-level winds, or massive flooding. And except for one poor woman in Maryland who died in her bed when a tree toppled over onto her house, there were no fatalities. But the way people acted out there, you would have thought it was the end of the world.
Intersections with non-working traffic signals were insane. It seemed as if everyone forgot that broken traffic signals are to be treated as four-way Stop signs. I don't know who was worse -- the drivers who blew through these intersections without even slowing down, or the timid ones who just sat there, too afraid to move. I came upon one intersection on a back road where five cars blocked five lanes because the traffic signal was out and no one knew how to handle it. On the main road, all common sense seemed to have left people along with the electricity. I saw one driver cruising along in the far-left breakdown lane, and another one stopped in the middle of four lanes reading a map.
The police were out in force, but they seemed to be uncoordinated. At none of the intersections were they directing traffic; they were merely blocking off lanes and forcing drivers to go into directions they didn't want to go. Actually, I must correct myself since that statement is inaccurate. I did find a cop at one intersection with working signals who was directing traffic against the light cycle and causing more confusion than anything else. He would have been much off going west several blocks to the major intersection without signals where no one knew how to respond.
On my way home I turned to the news channel on the radio (I had plenty of time to listen since the police kept redirecting me farther and farther away from my home) and shook my head. According to WTOP, those gas stations with power had lines panicky people desperate to fill up on gas, and some grocery stores were reporting increased traffic as people stocked up on essentials.
By the time I got to within a mile of my house me and several others like me (read either "tough, confident individuals who go into battle mode during a crisis and don't panic under pressure" or "arrogant, self-centered buttheads") were ignoring the craziness around us and just trying to get to where we were going.
What really bothered me was the inability of people to cope, both the civilian and the law enforcement. Did the academy train the police how to direct traffic (stop all traffic, let one lane proceed at a time, repeat until the intersection is clear) or did they just not want to be bothered? Would the driver who stopped in the middle of a four-lane highway to consult a map have done the same thing if the situation was "normal"? (Sadly, being northern Virgina, the answer to that could be yes.) This was a bright, sunny (and hot) day following a thunderstorm that did
minimal damage. I shudder to think what would have happened if the dead came back to life (or some other, but not as much fun, natural disaster had occurred).
With regards to the incident above where five cars blocked five lanes because no one knew what to do, the Bostonian in me let out a string of invectives (I'm at my most creative when I'm combining blasphemies and insults into single descriptive phrases) and long, loud blares on the horn. The writer in me realized that if this was the zombie apocalypse, me and everyone in my vehicle would be overrun and devoured or forced to set out on foot into the hordes of the living dead because of the actions of others.
So now I'm sitting home, venting my frustrations (and pretending it's a blog posting) surrounded by my pets who are staring at me with that "I thought you were going out?" look. After doing some writing, I'll probably spend the night in front of the television. But you can be sure I'll be watching Doomsday Preppers and taking notes.

We're All Going To Die During a Zombie Apocalypse... and We Deserve To by Scott M. Baker
1 comment:
Sadly, the conditions you describe are only an extension of the "let someone else be responsible for it" attitude that's so pervasive today. Virtually no one (especially in major population centers) knows how to manage for themselves without direction anymore.ReplyDelete
I often say when sitting in rush hour: at the beginning of this traffic jam are 4 people who don't know how to drive, screwing it up for everyone else. The truth is much worse; most of us are just as guilty.
I have to go check my Armageddon kits now.

My children love this healthy snack. The recipe is originally from Smashed Peas and Carrots and is a very flexible recipe and can be made with any type of mix-ins that your family likes. If you don't have flaxseed, try replacing that ingredient with finely chopped nuts, more oatmeal or more chocolate chips(!).
Because of a peanut allergy in our family, I used sunflower butter. We've also tried them with raisins, but I think the chocolate chip version is our favorite.
No-Bake Energy Bites
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix all ingredients and roll into balls.
To freeze, put them on a baking sheet and flash freeze for about 15 - 20 minutes. Store frozen bites in a freezer bag or container in the freezer. Put frozen bites directly into lunchboxes or thaw on the counter for 15 minutes and serve as an after-school snack.
Quick. Easy. Delicious.

Dateline: Week Of August, 15, 2009 In News, Pop Culture, Tech, Celebrity, Entertainment & Fascinating Facts
In The News -
Somali pirates fired grenades and automatic weapons at an American freighter loaded with food aid but the ship managed to escape the attack and was heading Wednesday to Kenya under U.S. Navy guard, officials said.
Despite President Barack Obama's vow to halt their banditry and the deaths of five pirates in recent French and U.S. hostage rescue missions, brigands seized four vessels and more than 75 hostages off the Horn of Africa since Sunday's dramatic rescue of an American freighter captain. Picture is pirates making their escape. That brought the total number of sailors being held by Somali pirates to over 300 on 17 different ships — a distinct surge in the number of captives over the last few days.
President Barack Obama travels to meet with his Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon, as the U.S. and one of its biggest economic partners grapple with a trade standoff and escalating violence stemming from drug trafficking. Obama begins his first trip as president to Latin America in Mexico City, where he and Calderon are likely to discuss border security, a conflict over Mexican trucks delivering goods inside the U.S., the global economic crisis and energy-related issues, including climate change.
New jobless claims fell more than expected for the second straight week, but the number of Americans continuing to receive unemployment insurance benefits rose above 6 million for the first time.
Citigroup lost money and General Electric's profits fell, but both beat Wall Street's expectations as investors look for further signs that the economy has begun to stabilize. Citigroup Inc. reported its smallest loss since 2007. The bank on Friday posted a first-quarter loss to common shareholders of $966 million after massive loan losses and dividends to preferred stockholders. However, before paying those dividends, which were tied to the government's investment in Citigroup, the bank earned $1.6 billion.
President Barack Obama said on Saturday he would soon announce the elimination of dozens of wasteful or ineffective government programs as part of a broad effort to restore fiscal accountability to the federal budget.
Obama, speaking in his weekly radio address, said he would use his first full Cabinet meeting on Monday to ask department and agency heads for specific proposals for trimming their budgets.
Somali pirates attacked two ships off the Horn of Africa on Saturday, capturing a Belgian dredger and its 10 crew. NATO forces intervened in the other assault, chasing the pirates down and freeing 20 fisherman on a Yemeni dhow. The high-seas attacks underscored the dangers in waters off Somalia and east Africa despite the best efforts of an international flotilla that includes warships from the United States and the European Union. Pirates from anarchic, clan-ruled Somalia have attacked more than 80 boats this year and hold 16 ships and over 290 crew members hostage.
President Barack Obama is wrapping up a summit with other leaders in the Western Hemisphere on Sunday the same way he began it: Pledging to reshape the image of the U.S. as a humble partner in addressing problems throughout the region. "I look forward to hearing more about how the United States can be an effective partner," Obama said just before meeting with leaders from Central American countries. At the Summit of the Americas on the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, the president was hopeful that he'd boosted the image of the U.S. among its friends in the region — and perhaps even made some new ones. Among those seemingly charmed by the president's promise of a new, more equal partnership was Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, the fiery leftist who famously likened former President George W. Bush to the devil.
A gunman forced his way though airport security and hijacked a Canadian jet near Montego Bay, holding six crew members hostage for eight hours before police and soldiers stormed the aircraft on Monday and captured the man.
Nobody was killed or injured in the ordeal, which ended with a raid near daylight after talks broke down with a 20-year-old Jamaican hijacker described as "mentally challenged."
President Barack Obama ordered his Cabinet to find ways to slice spending by $100 million, but acknowledged it's a "drop in the bucket" and said there's a "confidence gap" that he needs to overcome. Just back from a Latin America summit, Obama told the first formal Cabinet meeting of his administration that vast spending to combat the economic crisis was "the right thing to do." But he also said taxpayers still need to know that every dollar they give the government is being spent wisely.
Investigators have opened a criminal probe into whether someone poisoned 21 polo horses that died during preparations for a match in the sport's top championship in Florida, officials said. The horses from a Venezuelan-owned Lechuza Polo team began collapsing Sunday as they were unloaded from trailers at the International Polo Club Palm Beach, with some dying at the scene and others hours later at stables or clinics. State investigators believe the horses died from an adverse drug reaction, toxins in their food or supplements, or a combination of the two.
Business News – April 15, 2009
Bank of America Corp. posted strong first quarter results Monday, as higher revenue from the purchase of Merrill Lynch & Co. help offset a surge in credit costs. The results surpassed analysts' expectations, and provide further evidence the banking sector might be improving. But the bank also took a hefty $13.4 billion provision for credit losses and its shares fell 80 cents, or 7.5 percent, to $9.80 in premarket trading.
Technology News – April 15, 2009
Information technology company Oracle Corp. said Monday it is buying Sun Microsystems Inc. in a cash deal the company valued at $7.4 billion after IBM abandoned its bid to buy the networking equipment maker.
Redwood Shores, Calif.-based Oracle will buy Sun shares for $9.50 each in cash. The price represents a 42 percent premium to Sun's Friday closing stock price of $6.69. Net of Sun's cash and debt, the transaction is valued at $5.6 billion, Oracle said. IBM had offered to buy Sun for $9.40 per share, but acquisition talks fell apart earlier this month. Sun balked at the price and canceled IBM's exclusive negotiating rights, leading IBM to withdraw its offer.
Entertainment/Celebrity/Television/Movie News – April 15, 2009
Jamie Foxx – who does a Howard Stern-type show on Sirius Satellite Radio – apologizes for remarks made about Miley Cyrus. On his Foxxhole show Sunday. Foxx -- who has a teenage daughter -- cracked that Cyrus, 16, needs "to get a gum transplant ... make a sex tape ... do some heroin." His other insults were too vulgar to reprint. "I so apologize ... and this is sincere. I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don't mean any of it," said Foxx on the Tonight show. On Bonny Hunt's TV talk show dad Billy Ray said, "It was hurtful. There wasn't nothing funny about it. And, quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter, he might not find it so comedic."
American Idol Happenings - Under the mentorship of film director Quentin Tarantino, the contestants chose songs from films. Lil Rounds, who performed the Bette Midler song, "The Rose," with an R&B flair, ended in hot water with judge Simon Cowell. "I think that you're getting this completely wrong," Simon said after the one-time standout finished her number. "The song was too soft for you. It was completely middle of the road. You had some nice moments in there, but there's no excuses any more. You are not the artist I believe we met seven or eight weeks ago. I'm getting frustrated."
After weeks of dismal scores, former Jackass star Steve-O was booted from the "Dancing With the Stars" ballroom Tuesday. The 34-year-old reality star and his professional partner, Lacey Schwimmer, were eliminated from the hit ABC show after earning the week's lowest score, 16 points out of 30, for their rumba. "You can't confuse movement with dancing," said head judge Len Goodman. "There was no hip action, there was no footwork and it was no good."
Radio News – April 15, 2009
Radio station owner Clear Channel is making it clear – it is in the syndication business. It's A-list of personalities – such as Ryan Seacrest and Elvis Duran – are available to voice track on all Clear Channel stations – in many cases, taking the place of a local personality (this saves lots of money). This seems to be the way of the future Clear Channel has a national B list personality as well – and Clear channel stations can chose to "hire" any DJ for "Ipod" voicetracking on their stations. Here's an announcement this week, although it's not new to those in the industry:
According to a press release, local Clear Channel program directors will have total choice and flexibility in choosing the Premium Choice programming elements such as Ryan Seacrest and other Clear Channel personalities. They can elect large portions, single pieces, or none of the offered programming. "These improvements have been part of the company's long-term strategy to strengthen its competitive position," added Hogan. "We're accelerating these pieces because of the undeniable competitive opportunity presented by this market," he said.
Ryan Seacrest may be one of the hardest-working men in Hollywood but last week he took time out from his gig as a host of On Air with Ryan Seacrest for a romantic jaunt to Paris with L.A. bartender Jasmine Waltz. Seacrest, 34, met Waltz during a night out at Guy's, a West Hollywood lounge. Waltz, who has previously worked at other L.A. hotspots including Les Deux and Italian restaurant Bella, is an aspiring actress. "They've been together for a few months now," says the source. After wrapping his American Idol duties last week, Seacrest whisked Waltz off to Paris for a weekend where the couple displayed a lot of PDA.
Ryan Seacrest, music's number one radio host with a weekly worldwide audience estimated at more than 20 million, will expand the nationally syndicated On Air with Ryan Seacrest to include a fourth hour of programming beginning May 4. His syndicated show was launched nearly a year ago on 50 radio stations and is now in 130 markets.

One day after she was plunked on the head by Bill Murray's wayward tee shot, Gayle DiMaggio had a request: a signed copy of his movie "Caddyshackhe actor, meanwhile, was back on the course Saturday for the second round of the Outback Pro-Am. And the course marshals took no chances: They wore hard hats. DiMaggio lives on the course where Murray hooked his shot far to the left of the No. 9 hole at TPC Tampa Bay. She was hit on the left temple Friday as she stood in her backyard to watch the first round. She never lost consciousness but needed stitches at a hospital.
Falls off a horse – again! - Madonna is under the care of doctors after falling off a horse over the weekend an accident she is blaming on the paparazzi. A representative for the superstar said Madonna suffered "minor injuries" after she fell while horseback riding in the Hamptons, a playground for the rich and famous on the eastern end of Long Island, N.Y. "The accident occurred when the horse Madonna was riding was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer, who was visiting friends," Liz Rosenberg said in a statement. Madonna was thrown from a horse back in 2005 and received more severe injuries.
