Scenery time. A watermill for Bunzlau (I)
While making the research (grandiloquent term for a rapid reading of some old Google books) for Bunzlau, I noted in the narratives of the combat the important role played by a small wood bridge 'dominated by a watermill' and connecting the right bank to an island. Afterwards, when searching for an old map of the area, I arrived to this Polish Map Repository site from which I downloaded the below map of the Bunzlau/Bolesławiec area in 1943.
Immediately, the wargamer in me had the old feeling: 'I must to build a watermill', so I started a frenetic google search by using the terms "watermill" and "wassermühle". You can see below some of my findings, including both real and model items:
water mill located in Rheda (Germany) was my final inspiration
To be continued!

It is not unusual for partners to want details in a formal disclosure, and as well advised, details are not always in her best interest. The preparation involved can be arduous and grueling and takes months to get to a place where the addict and partner are prepared for D-day. It is difficult for a partner to understand how the addict has dissolved to the addiction. He became the addiction, it controlled him, rules him, lures him, and takes him down a path of destruction. A world she is not familiar with, and unknowingly she was taken in the under currents of his addiction and wants to know how it was all possible. She wants answers, where, when, and how. Questions that are important to her time line, as she begins to unravel her new reality. For the addict the sad part is that in some cases he had lost all sense of time, reality, and conscious being.He does not always have the ability to support her need for clarity, it does not necessarily have to be all the details, but her clarifying questions need to be addressed.
Empathy directed at partners trauma and pain is one of the key elements that can surrender the powers of addiction around into a healing sanctification and hope for healing. Intense focus now requires the fullness of his being as a husband that is centered to her needs and in the realm of what the couple ship demands for healing and recovery.
a world beyond time
The human subconscious is characterized by a kind of eternal immediacy. In its realm, time is not linear but ductile, able to be shaped for the purposes of self-expression, and this is a critical factor in cyberporn's impact. The cyberworld offers highly anxious, angry, or otherwise emotionally charged men the relief of "losing" themselves to a timelessness in which they are no more than an ever-shifting locus of attention. Psychologist Abraham Maslow coined the state "B-Cognition" (B for "being"), meaning that in moments of intense focus, both the outside world and its perceiver dissolve. Inherent in such an erosion of self is an erosion of boundaries. The cyberworld becomes a projection of our intrapsychic reality, which is where the acting out begins.
Dr. Kimberly S. Young, the world's first "cyberpsychologist", was a pioneer analyst of technology's impact on human behavior. Founder and president of the Center for Online Addiction (netaddiction.com) and author of Caught in the Net: How to Recognize the Signs of Internet Addiction - and a Winning Strategy for Recovery, she has served as an expert witness in both civil and criminal cases.
"The feeling of a linear past, present, and future becomes more obscure as we move back and forth through synchronous and asynchronous communication," she writes. "As a result, this altered state of consciousness in cyberspace tends to shift or destabilize self-boundary ... boundaries between self and other representations become more diffuse, and thinking becomes more subjective and emotion-centered."
In other words, the dream becomes real.

Self-Imposed Hiatus, Begone...And Happy New Year
I finally realized that my break from life (and as a corollary, contributions to this blog) has reached the one month and one day mark. For shame. I've dusted off Christmas, turned my back on (most) sweets, which have debauched my waistline, and am now ready - with drawerfulls of clean clothes - to face a new year.
I'm taking on this New Year with renewed verve, a new plan, a supportive family, freakingly fantastic friends, and a career spigot that has turned up the professional juice. More on that later.
I don't know about you, but in 2010 I'm ready to never hear the surname Gosselin again, and hoping that healthcare reform leads to insurance reform. You can't have your yin without your yang (it would be unwise) and genuine healthcare reform cannot occur or be sustained without some ass-whippin' on the insurance front. I am also smarting over paying $400 for a basic medical test my insurance company refuses to cover.
In 2010, I do not care if Kathy Griffin F-bombs her way through primetime TV every night for the next 359 nights, hope that one of my favorite books, The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, is awesomely adapted to the big screen, that my friends the Linnebur-Smiths sell their house so they can move to New York City, that my sister kicks ass on her upcoming test, that Angelika Makkas won't rescind her invitation*, and that when I wake up tomorrow chocolate in all forms will appear repulsive to me.
I wish for many, many more things, silently and brazenly, but I mostly wish this: May this New Year bring you and yours more of the good than the bad, lots of love and gut-aching laughter, the kind of change you hope for, and many spirited and synchronous moments that convince you the universe is nothing if not on your side.
And with that, I leave you with two new songs to get the year started off on a portentous musical note.
*Vampires must be invited into a mortal's home in order to enter. Otherwise, they remain barred, in all their pale undeadness, at the front door. Upon having an invitation rescinded, vampires are physically forced to leave a mortal's hearth and home. It's only fair. Mortals get to keep their sacred spaces vampire-free if they so desire, while vampires get immortality and astonishing strength (apparently).
If you remain as unapologetically enamored as I am of the Twilight series, I highly recommend two things: HBO's True Blood series, and Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels. Those two recommendations lead me to this: I have one more New Year goal: To read enough Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky to make up for all the vampirically-themed forms of entertainment I continue to pursue and digest. It's only fair. Part of me can be intellectually if bleakly engaged, while my more torrid side continues to be delighted and thoroughly entertained. By vampires.

Happy Friday!
Tonight at the box we had FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS...workout for 14.4 of the Crossfit Open Workouts.
14.4 was as some expected and predicted would be a hard one. This was a "chipper" workout, meaning you are supposed to CHIP AWAY at the reps and keep going. For you lazy folk that dont want to click through here is the workout:
14.4 - AMRAP = 14 minutes
As Many Reps As Possible
60 Calorie Row
50 x Toes to Bar
40 x Wall Balls @ 20#
30 x Cleans @ 135#
20 x Ring Muscle Ups
I know I cannot get T2B, so I scaled down to Knees to Elbows/Knees to Chest.
My goal for this workout was to get to the wall balls. I wanted to finish the knees to chest and at least get one wall ball in. Tonight I reached my goal and did get to the wall balls. My total score was:
I was able to get 34 Wall Balls. Super happy!
No one will know what the last WOD will be...14.5 should be a doozy to really separate the leader boards.
It is late and I need to get to bed, I have a pretty busy weekend ahead...I have my Catalyst Athletics Olympic Weight Lifting Seminar tomorrow! Cannot wait for that!
Good night all!

I would like to ask you something. Now that lake water has come to the northwest suburbs, do that can be difficult to remove, when hard water evaporates. This can result in bathtub ring, spotted dishes and identical traumas. Generally, hard water is very high in magnesium, calcium and similar minerals. You should take it into account. Whenever clogging faucets and shower heads and sending water heaters to an early grave, The mineral residue can build up inside fixtures and appliances.
Whenever restricting water flow so severely that a solitary solution is replacement, an expensive proposition, the buildup can clog pipes. Hard water also can have a deleterious effect on plumbing, as you mentioned. Sodium works better with soap and detergents, and doesn't leave those whitish deposits. Loads of people, especially suburbanites, soften their water. Basically, this involves using a 'ion exchange' machine that replaces the calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. Therefore, lake Michigan water is much softer than suburban well water, and a lot more plentiful. Besides, the pipeline, that first began supplying lake water late last year, eventually will supply totally the water needs of seven suburbs, and possibly more. Loads of suburbanites hailed the Joint Action Water Agency pipeline project that's bringing treated Lake Michigan water to four northwest suburbs. As on the basis of the total amount of grains of minerals in every gallon. In Du Page County, it ranges from 18 to 25 grains per gallon; lake water is mostly about 8 grains per gallon, According to Culligan, northwest suburban well water has about 15 grains per gallon. They correspond pretty well to Culligan's sales in those areas, these numbers may not be absolutely accurate. Essentially, not nonexistent. You're not preparing to have plumbing problems with eight grain water. For example, we feel that Chicago water has room for improvement," Jackson says, "but it's not mandatory. Even when the pipeline is fully operational, lots of us know that there are four northwest suburbs Elk Grove Village, Hoffman Estates, Mt, as of now. All are mixing the lake water with well water, None is distributing 100 percent lake water to its residents yet. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Lake Michigan water may well be soft enough for many to do away with their softeners.
It ain't that simple, in simple math that gives you a blend with a hardness factor of 12. Determined by where the lake water is introduced into the town's system, can be twice as soft as their well water be four times harder than what they're used to, determined by how often they cycle their softeners, should be reducing water hardness to a factor of two or less. On top of this, even pure lake water may not be soft enough for those who have grown accustomed to extremely soft water. Doesn't it sound familiar? Nor will I rush out to by a brand new one. Actually I would advise bypassing the unit for some time and to see if you can live with the results. Readers may submit questions of general interest to As a Matter of Fact, care of Tempo, The Chicago Tribune, 435 Michigan Ave, Chicago.

This November 2007 accident report is provided by the National Transportation Safety Board. Published as an educational tool, it is intended to help pilots learn from the misfortunes of others.
Aircraft: Diamond DA-20. Location: Mesa, Ariz. Injuries: None. Aircraft damage: Substantial.
What reportedly happened: The student pilot was practicing short-field landings. While on short final in a crab to compensate for the crosswind conditions, he realized that the airplane was below the glide path of the runway and began to flare in an effort to reduce the rapid rate of descent. The airplane landed hard on the left main landing gear and began an abrupt veer to the left of runway centerline. The left wing sustained substantial damage.
Probable cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain the proper glide path and misjudged flare, which resulted in a hard landing.

All about Modems and Routers
To be able to get your home computer or mobile devices connected to the internet, you will need a modem and a router which are its two major components. Communication with your internet service provider is made possible through the modem. It is called a cable modem if it connected to your cable provider through a coaxial cable. A DSL modem is connected to your telephone line. Your modem is dependent o the ISP's infrastructure capability. Fiber of satellite could be the medium used.
If you have a router then you are able to share internet connection with other devices in your home or office. A wireless router creates a Wi-Fi network that devices can connect to. Sometime routers have ports for Ethernet cables. It is through the modem that the router connects devices to the internet. The recipient and owner of a single IP address on the internet which servers on the net can connect to is the router.
Firewalls or protective barricades against the internet come with routers. With the router firewall, it gives protection in hardware format, in addition to the software firewall found in your computer.
A combination of both router and modem are combined in one piece of equipment with ADSL devices.
With a few cosmetic differences, modem-router combos basically work the same way, whatever brand it is.
There is a wide range of modem-router combos to choose from and prices vary from less than fifty dollars up to a few hundred.
The DOCSIS 3.0 is the latest format for the standard modem for cable, if your service provider provides internet through cable network. For those with DSL connection, if your speed is great than 15 Mbps, the you would go for a VDSL connection and an ADSL connection for lesser speeds.
Routers are easier to choose. There are two types of technology in use. These two technologies are the beam forming technology which directs a beam at your device and the other is the radius Wi-Fi technology. This is better for new devices and old ones too work well on this technology. Speeds can range from 100 Mbsp to 5300 Mbps.
It is always better to buy a modem and router on your own rather than going for what your service provider is providing for a low rent. It is worth spending a few hundred dollars for a great difference in internet speed.
Instead of getting a separate modem and router, it is better to have one unit that serves both function, a modem-router combo. It helps in a tidy system, provided you are getting all the features of the best modem and the best router, because different brand can be used together.

"Can I Handle the Silverbac?"
It's a Big, Mean, Grillin-Machine. But is it Too Much for the Backyard BBQ-er? Shane Has the Info.
The Silverbac was made for the pit master who wants to either feed him or herself, or, ya know, a small army. The Silverbac was built with a more classic grill design in mind. It is as beautiful as it is functional, built with all the ease of the Grilla but with approximately 50% more cook space. With the extra-large hopper lid that doubles as a table and the storage cabinet below the cooker, it will easily become your go-to cooker for any meal.
We feel the Silverbac owner is looking for any combination of the following:
- Classic design – for the owner who is looking for function over form but still wants a classy grill.
- Ease of use – for the owner who wants uncompromising results without fuss. The Silverbac has the ease of a gas grill's automatic lighting feature but the flavor of cooking over wood, something a gas grill can't provide.
- Function – The Silverbac was built to capitalize on its footprint and provides storage where most grills have wasted space.
- Flexibility – The ability to cook from 180-500 degrees as well as cooking large amounts of food at one time.
- Value – The Silverbac has all the features you need without extra fluff that drives up the price of other pellet pits on the market.
- Family sized – The Silverbac is the king of the backyard party and can cook for large groups with ease. It easily feeds 10-20 people with space to spare. You can cook any of the following with extra space left: 3 whole packer briskets, 3 18lb turkeys, 5 whole pork shoulders, 6-8 racks of ribs, 8 whole chickens.
- Efficiency – Large and in charge but still efficient since it still averages about a pound of pellets burned per hour (at 225 degrees).
- Quality – All of our pits are built to last, covered by solid warranties and backed by the best support in the industry. If you ever have a problem, contact Grilla Grills to get a fast response from the engineer or staff pit master.

Go easy on kids who are doing arts and crafts. The whole point of arts and crafts is to express and encourage creativity. If you continuously point out the flaws in their work, you will defeat the purpose.
You can use lots of things when you do arts and crafts. Anything you recycle can be reused. Paper towel rolls or toilet paper rolls are useful. Magazines and wrapping paper can be reused, too. Be creative with things you normally throw away and use then in your projects.
Beadaholique is a store where you can find nearly everything needed to make custom jewelry. You can get beads, chains and other items to create beautiful pieces. Costume jewelry is fashionable right now. Making your own can not only save you money, but can also help you match the clothing you own.
Relax when children are doing crafts. The idea of doing these types of projects is to foster creativity. You'll never accomplish the stated goal if you're hanging over your child and trying to get things "perfect".
Go online to find terrific arts and crafts suggestions. There are quite a few Internet sites that offer ideas on many types of projects. Regardless of the age of the participant, there is likely a project for everyone.
Remember that doing art and craft projects with kids can be quite messy. If that that is stressful to you, cover your surfaces with some butcher paper or newsprint to catch bits of glitter, paper, and glue drops. Markers and adhesives that are washable can also be considered.
Then remove the cloudy appearance from the mosaic, by using a bit of glass cleaner to wipe it down. This helps clean your project and make it look great.
Focus on doing one thing before starting another. With arts and crafts projects, it can be tempting to start different projects at the same time. This is why projects don't get completed. Take your time and enjoy each project before beginning the next exciting project. This gives you the best chances of finishing.
If you're looking for arts and crafts materials, give a hard look at your kitchen. You are sure to find lots of interesting items there that can be used. You can use tin foil, empty jars metal cans and anything you can imagine. You can use beans or uncooked pasta as supplies.
Look on the internet for new ideas about arts and crafts. Sites make how-tos and ideas available to you. You'll find some amazing ones out there, no matter the age group you are looking for.
Double check to see that you have all that you require prior to starting any project in arts and crafts. It's annoying when you must abandon your project to go buy more supplies. Make a supplies list before you start, then check off each item before you start.
If you want supplies, look to Etsy. These are on sale from lots of individuals. You will also be able to actually sell your projects on this website. It is the perfect site for peddling your creations.
Etsy is an excellent site for crafters. It has thousands of craft items for sale, and you can also get inspiration from them. Additionally, you could choose to feature your best works on the site, and make a little money on the side to fund your craft.
Take the time to organize your supplies. There are different ways to do this, but you should pick something that makes sense to you. When supplies are organized, you can easily find what is needed for a project. You will always be aware of which supplies are already on hand.
When getting children involved in arts and crafts projects, find ways to get them to learn in the process. You can practice math, reading directions, and other things that can help kids learn while having fun.
Kids at all age levels love to do arts and crafts. Find a project your kids will enjoy. If you don't know what to do, ask a friend or look online.
Do not toss product packaging after you've opened something. You can reuse and recycle these materials for different craft projects. Get a bin for storing packaging and other items you would normally toss out.
For free crafting material, explore in your kitchen for craft supplies. There are many crafts and arts gems there. From jars to cans to aluminum foil, there's lots available. There are even things like beans and pasta (dried of course) that can be used.
Try putting an ad specifying the arts and crafts supplies you are looking for on a site that allows for exchanges and freebies. Your discoveries might just surprise you! You might find many people who are trying to discard the same supplies you need, so you may be able to acquire them for very little money or completely free.
If you are beginning to learn painting with oils and don't like what you've painted on a piece of canvas, you can always paint over it. Oil is a great medium to work with when learning to paint. In fact, you might even realize incredible depth doing this.
Give yourself sufficient time to work on arts and crafts project. You should not rush when working on your project. If you can devote attention and time, you will end up with high quality crafts. If you rush, the quality will be poor. You will see a real difference in the quality of the objects you can create if you take your time.
A wonderful way to keep a lot of kids or adults busy is to do some arts and crafts. There are project for the youngest crafter to the oldest crafter. Search online for projects just right for the ages of the group who will be doing them.
Get your children to make a dish with you as a gift. Use a glass or plastic bowl, apply paint pens or markers to draw on any designs you choose. Your pet can get a unique dish.
People who get into arts and crafts can start making their own presents instead of buying them. You can make gifts throughout the year and give them as presents during the holidays. Lots of people like handmade items more than store-bought ones. You'll also save lots of money every year.
Look online for great deals. You can browse the Internet and find lots of arts and crafts items. You might find that certain retailers you thought would have a big collection do not. But there will be great online retailers that do! Plus you're going to often see much better prices online than you could get at a local store.
This article should give you some great ideas about new projects you can do. Use the knowledge you've acquired to start some new craft projects. If you choose to, you could give some of your best pieces away as gifts for family and friends.
If you're looking to make model cars with your kids, make sure to buy a model that's meant for their age group. For instance, gluing small models together is best for older kids, while snap together projects are best for younger kids.

Staged treatment policy- The biggest drawback of IC management is that we do not know which treatment will suit which patient. Multiple treatment options are available. We try one treatment after the other and hope that one of the treatments will give relief to the patient. We can not guarantee that patient will be free of symptoms. In our experience around 80% patients improve(60 %become symptom free and totally alright and 20 are better and have less symptoms) with this protocol. We strictly follow this protocol as it is best option for the patients.
1st stage- cystoscopy hydrodistension with oral therapy
2nd stage- intravesical therapy
3rd stage- surgery
STAGE ONE-All the patients are subjected to diagnostic cystoscopy and therapeutic hydrodistension after their urine culture, and sonography are normal. Cystoscopy is done under spinal anaesthesia and the bladder is distended under gravity till capacity. No attempt is done to overdistend the bladder.We prefer spinal anaesthesia as post surgical recovery is comfortable after spinal anesthesia whereas after general anaesthesia patients are very uncomfortable after surgery. Patients with normal bladder capacity are put on triple drug therapy including amitriptyline, hydroxyzine and gabapin or Pentosan for 3 months. It is important to note that the routine analgesics and antibiotics do not act on such patients and should not be prescribed alone.
If hunners lesions are found on hydrodistension then coagulation of the lesions is done at the same time.
STAGE TWO-If the patient does not respond or there is flare-up during oral therapy, the patient is treated with intravesical rescue solution. The rescue solution is prepared by mixing an anaesthetic agent with steroid and heparin. The solution is usually kept in the bladder for 30 minutes and 6 treatments are given at intervals of 2 weeks. My favourite rescue solution consists of 40 ml sensorcaine 0.5%, 2cc dexamethasone and 25000 unit of heparin. If the patient does not improve with one rescue solution then other intravesical therapies can be tried.
We are working on intravesical tacrolimus in the patiens with intractable IC/BPS who do not improve with other therapies. This formulation has been developed at our center and has been found effective in 50% patients. This is offered to all the patients before surgery.
STAGE THREE-Surgery is offered as a last resort and various procedures are available with varying success rates. Surgery is offered to those patients who have a miserable life and have failed all other therapies.On cystoscopy under spinal anasthesia if patient has less than 150 ml capacity he is advised surgery to increase bladder capacity or to replace bladder. We have done augmentation ileocystoplasty in 6 patients with excellent results.

Tim Story to direct Shaft movie for New Line
So Tim Story will be remaking SHAFT. Yes, another one.
The plot for the new SHAFT is currently under wraps, but according to Deadline, it will reportedly "focus on the son of the cool private eye who always finds himself navigating the gray terrain between the law and organized crime in New York City." No word on if the main character will be the son of the original Shaft, played by Richard Roundtree, or of Samuel L. Jackson's Shaft, who was actually the original's nephew (Roundtree even made a cameo as the OG Shaft in the 2000 film).
Now, I don't hate remakes outright. And with the success of LUKE CAGE and the anticipation for the BLACK PANTHER movie, it's cool to see more badass POC character headlining action films. I'm honestly just more concerned with Story's nominally "point-and-click" direction, which could be a disservice to such a cool character. Hopefully they at least keep the iconic theme song.

90% Chance Invest Becomes TS Bonnie. Caught Like a Ball in a Cesta Thrown at the SE Coast. Perspectives on Hurricane Sandy and NYC
That red x issued at 8 am by the NHC is for within 2 days.
Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent
The track for now remains the same.
The center is slowly coming together.
Hurricane Hunters will be going in this afternoon.
As I said yesterday it has to move over warmer water...
...get closer to the coast where there is less shear.
Doesn't look like that much now but it's a process
Going wide you can see the larger picture.
I like the larger picture
Sort of like a rookie quarterback in the pocket.
Needs some maturity.
Models are seeing the future... predicting the forecast.
Note how it will be propelled towards the Carolina coast.
Think of a Jai Alai player in action.
Once the player catches the ball gets caught in the cesta
(that wicker looking basket on his arm)
He's swung around in a curve motion towards the wall.
Bonnie will be propelled towards the coast in the same way.
Most like this will become Bonnie.
A player in her own right but caught up in the atmospheric currents.
Models are doing a good job this season at sniffing out development.
The process is more apparent here in the bigger picture on the long loop.
There is a small chance, currently small...
..oddball chance Colin could be develop.
I'd put that between fantasy and who knows . . . for now.
A sort of extra credit project while watching the loops and the Invest.
It's important to remember for now this is an Invest.
An area being investigated...Bonnie is the name it would get.
Bonnie because we already had the A storm in January..
For now models take it inland and then back out to sea.
Strong, messy weather for the DC to NY metro area.
Possibly Boston and Cape Cod.
Again the problem is has currently is two fold.
Water temperatures are only marginal.
Then you see that deeper red orange tongue of color?
Close to the coast..
...approximately where shear lessens.
There are two dangers with close in...
One is obvious it develops on the coastal doorstep.
Secondly while developing it sucks in a lot of moisture.
Tons of tropical moisture.
So from a relatively weak system you could have a large flooding problem.
In an area that had flooding earlier in the year.
Understand the problem?
This is not Hurricane Andrew chugging to shore as a Cat 5.
But it still has the potential to wreck the Memorial Day Beach Party.
A big economic problem.
And further inland as it rains and rains... cause possible flooding.
Just a possibility to remind you weak systems can be a pain.
As for the big picture that I love.
Note IF anything developed further in the Bahamas.
It's a long shot but even the thought that the Atlantic can cough up 3 systems.
Before the Epac barfs up even one ...
Is a sign that El Nino is on the decline, disappearing ....
A real long shot but worth a mention.
Note the Epac most likely will have a system soon tho..
The weaker the Epac is the more energy is in the Atlantic.
You can see the swirling . . .forming below.. slowly
The bottom line from the NHC
Salient points...
Getting better organized.
Recon going in.
A threat to the SE coast in general.
New update after 3 PM.
Worth mentioning also the big NHC report is due out later today.
We have the CSU report earlier in the year but the NHC waits...
So the official forecast discussion for the Hurricane Season is today.
I'll update this afternoon on the Invest and the report as well.
Again the NHC says tropical or subtropical storm.
Time will tell.
I just wanted to add on perspective.
It's a popular word these days but important.
I sailed the harbor yesterday.
Well it was a yacht but I was sailing :)
You really don't realize how close the World Trade Center was..
...how close the Freedom Tower is to the water.
From the water it is right there rising almost out of the water.
People staring up at the Freedom Tower...
Rising up at the edge of the water almost.
Caught in a traffic gridlock from a car...
..you lose perspective.
From the water you realize how vulnerable NYC is to a hurricane.
From the water it's like you can reach out and touch it.
Very vulnerable.
And speaking of vulnerable...
We sailed close to Breezy Point.
A sailboat out ahead of us.
A spit of land ... beaches... beautiful beaches.
Just there in the middle of the water.
Obviously a paradise close to the city on most days.
Almost all days... except hurricane days.
The air soooo fresh.
Such an awesome breeze.
Incredibly beautiful...
At the edge of Queens and Brooklyn.
Paradise unless there's a storm surge.
Humbling even to me who knew and understood.
But to see it for yourself up close from the water..
Oh and they have these pirate ships and boats to watch the sunset in NYC.
Everyone lined up with their cameras...
...felt like I was back in Key West.
So know you can get a sunset cruise if you be in NYC.
Besos BobbiStorm

Thanks for the patience while on my NYC vacation!

ReadySetWork 2.0 prepares students in Lagos for outside world, as UNILAG plays host
Two years ago, the Lagos State Government had discovered a gap between the curriculum of students of tertiary schools in the state and their employability after school. To bridge this gap, the Lagos State Government set up the ReadySetWork initiative, an employability and entrepreneurship program. The ReadySetWork programme prepares final year students for immediate entry into the workforce as employees and employers of labour, by equipping them with market-aligned knowledge, soft skills, business tools and a mindset reorientation to the world of work.
Now in its second edition, the initiative is set to impact the lives of students in the 6 institutions of higher learning in Lagos State.
To this end, the ReadySetWork Initiative 2.0 took place on Saturday 5, August 2017 at the University of Lagos. Mentors, representatives of the Lagos State Ministry of Education and the Center for Entrepreneurship, University of Lagos, gathered with over 700 students in the biggest lecture halls of the Department of Creative Arts of the University of Lagos, to re-define what it means to be a 'fresh graduate' and share some knowledge to equip the students for challenges which may lurk in the labour market.
Debola Olowu, an Administrative Officer of the Lagos State Ministry of Education, explained the ReadySetWork program as an initiative of the Lagos State Government (through the Office of the Special Adviser on Education), focused on entrepreneurship and employability training for tertiary institution students across Lagos State, including University of Lagos. There is the entrepreneurship track, for students who want to set up their own businesses and the employability track, which is geared towards assisting students who wish to enter the world of work and entrepreneurship.
"What we are doing is, within 13 weeks of intensive facilitation, we are preparing 12,000 students from 6 institutions in Lagos State for the world of work. The institutions are Lagos State University, Lagos State Polytechnic, University of Lagos, Lagos State College of Health Technology, Michael Otedola College of Primary Education and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education." He said.
In Lagos state, where 65% of the population is under 35years of age, the chances of young graduates getting jobs are getting slimmer by the day.
"If you look at the situation of the country due to the recession, unemployment rate is rising by the day. Where will these kids be in five years? This is a situation we are trying to help them grapple with. I think the message is coming across to all of these students. This is a pioneer program, well thought out and well thought through and the governor is passionate about making sure no student is left behind."
The Center for Entrepreneurship, University of Lagos, one of the collaborators on this program, has provided space for the students to attend programme classes. Dr. Adebisi Sunday Abayomi, Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship is of the opinion that every student can become an entrepreneur, regardless of the course he/she pursues. As part of its mandate within the ReadySetWork initiative, the Center will connect students with ideas which have market potentials and help look for venture capitalists to invest in the ideas.
Gossy Ukanwoke, the founder of Nigeria's first online university, Beni American University and BAU Executive Education, was one of the programme mentors and spoke to students on overcoming negativity. He hailed the programme's objectives and commented on the importance of the efforts of Lagos State Government in making the students more work-ready.
"This is excellent. I was a mentor last year and I jumped at the opportunity to mentor again this year, because I have seen the impact this program has had on the students. These students have been in school for four years and do not have that outside engagement around what is really going to happen when they leave the university. So, the entrepreneurship and employability aspects of the program expose them to the realities of what goes on outside of the school environment. There is stiff competition outside. They will not only be competing with their fellow classmates, but also with students from all around the globe. Having the understanding of what they are going to face and being ready for it, gives them a better opportunity than any other person out there."
Gossy is also the President of EduTech, an Education Technology Company focusing on helping African traditional universities take their on-campus degree programmes online, through implementation of the very best of technology, process management, recruitment and admissions and advisory.
Lolade Oshifola, one of the participating students from the University of Lagos, attests to the benefits of the programme. It has provided her with internship placement opportunities, problem solving, goal setting and entrepreneurship skills.
"I have learnt of the different attributes I have to imbibe to be able to be employable and find investment opportunities for my business idea. It has been worth my time and is a good opportunity for every student."

What is "Raspberry Pi"?
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools. It is manufactured in two board configurations through licensed manufacturing deals with Newark element14 (Premier Farnell), RS Components and Egoman.
The Raspberry Pi model B has a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, 512 MB, and wired Ethernet. It does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, but uses an SD card for booting and persistent storage.

Public Hearings
Coconut Point Honda
Coconut Point Ventures, LLC, requested a setback deviation for a monument sign on their property at 22240 S. Tamiami Trail. The requested setback was for five feet instead of 10 feet the Planning & Zoning Board approved on May 17, 2016. .
The applicant noted that RaceTrac and Coconut Ford have monument signs set at 5 feet and 6 feet, r
espectively. These sign setbacks were approved by the County before Estero was incorporated. The applicant also stated that, because of the 20 foot buffer, the vegetation would obscure the signage if it were at 10 feet as the sign would be in the middle of the landscaping.
The Board voted 5 – 2 to approve this deviation with the condition that this decision is limited to this particular Commercial Planned Development (CPD) but not to any other areas within the Village. (Presentation)
Coconut Point Tract 1 A
The applicant is requesting an amendment allowing up to 200 apartment units with 383 parking spaces on their property east of Via Coconut and south of Williams Road. The height of the four proposed buildings would be 45 ft.
This application includes a zoning change and 5 deviations. Lee County had previously approved 200 assisted living units for this site.
A lengthy presentation was given by the applicant on the need for additional apartments in Estero and describing their transportation study, among other topics. (Presentation)
Public Comment: nine residents spoke about their concerns regarding this project; two spoke in favor of the project. The Board also received a number of emails from residents asking them to recommend Council not approve this project.
Due to the length of the applicant's presentation, the Village Staff will present their recommendations to the Board at the Planning & Zoning Board's meeting on Tuesday, December 13.
Estero United Methodist Church
Representatives for the Estero United Methodist Church are proposing a number of changes to their sanctuary, including an expansion to the building for classrooms. They plan to increase the sanctuary seating from 500 to 1,000 seats, add a storage building and a courtyard and expand their thrift shop.
The site also will include pedestrian connectivity with two enhanced public seating areas, one of US 41 and the other on Highlands Blvd.
Some of these changes are planned for the future, but they want to start work on the sanctuary as soon as possible. The proposed architectural design style is "Old Florida." (Presentation)
The Board approved this application with a number of conditions including the applicant must connect to the Lee County sewer system once the applicant starts construction on Building 3; they must preserve all heritage trees and show other existing trees on the plan; the monument sign will be moved into conformance with the code and a turn lane be added if required by FDOT.
The Estero United Methodist Church is located on the corner of Lords Way and US 41.
Ordinance 2016-14
This ordinance addresses a temporary moratorium on cannabis dispensing businesses. The Board voted to recommend Council adopt this ordinance.
Board Communications
The Board received the amended PZB Rules of Procedure which they had voted on earlier this year.
Additional details are available in the minutes of this meeting. Residents may also view the archived meeting by going to the Village website http://estero-fl.gov/council/watch-meetings-online/.

Last week the Federal Reserve surprised nearly everyone when it decided to delay the so-called "Tapering" of its asset purchases after communicating to the market that it likely would do so earlier in the year. While we are not Fed watchers (we prefer watching the Vikings, albeit the Vikings may be more painful to watch), count us as one of the surprised by the Fed action. We thought that one of the recent goals of the Fed was to become more transparent, which up until recently we believed it was successful in doing. Markets were better able to anticipate Fed moves and the Fed could see the market's reaction to its policies, or potential policies, on a real-time basis. Not a bad deal eh?, as we say in Minnesota.
Some would say because of this the credibility of the Fed's transparency been called into question. If so what will be the fall-out? The markets anticipated a tapering and sent out what we considered a rational price signal by moving the prices of interest rate-sensitive assets. Now those decisions likely will be called into question. And as we all know, Mr. Market doesn't like surprises.
Therefore our question to you is what will happen next time the Fed telegraphs a potential tapering? Will the markets take the Fed at its word and treat this as a one-off after a likely change in Fed leadership or will Fed announcements in the future cause as much seemingly random behavior as a Christian Ponder pass? What do you think?

"Dress me, I'm your mannequin" --Lady Gaga
This ad popped up on the interwebs this morning with the tag line: "Make a statement. Stuart Weiztman."
What statement?
"I watch too many gladiator movies"?!
I wonder how these ropey, flat heeled things look when she isn't flexing.
And losing her blouse.
Question du jour #1: Are boot/sandles (bandles?) sexy?
On another advertising note, have you seen the HTC Facebook phone commercial where the young woman is in the museum but her Facebook updates are superimposed on everything? I find this really disturbing. They seem to be saying: Even when you are in this fascinating museum, you can be totally disconnected from the amazing things around you, including your date, and just focus on your insular little social media world! WTF?! Is she forced to go to the museum? Maybe she should just stay home on her phone all day.
Question du jour #2: How is this selling phones?! Somebody explain this to me, please!

The only statement I see is those gladiator shoes don't go with her outfit at all. Maybe if she were in a Spiderwoman costume.
#2 - I had the same thought watching the commercial. It's disturbing the person's phone is taking over their brain.

1. The model is rocking the sandals just fine. I'm thinking she's the only one though. They'd come up to my crotch and probably make me look like I've had some insane surgery recently.
2. I have to go to the museum at least 8 times a year because we have a membership and it's the easiest thing to do when having an outing with my kids plus my father in law. I can appreciate the distraction. Digging fake fossils out of the sand gets old.
Thanks for popping by earlier!

I SO agree about that Facebook commercial - I thought the same thing when I saw it! If my kids did that at a museum, I'd kill 'em. :)
- May 1, 2013 at 10:07 PM
Why does no one ever wear pants when they wear obnoxious shoes? Is it supposed to distract the eye THAT much that we forget one has no bottoms? I don't get it.
- May 2, 2013 at 3:23 AM
- The Bug said...
Tania - no. Just no. Although I would like to see someone wearing them...
I have such fat calves (thanks Mom!) that I can't fathom those shoes. I'd need at least another 3 yards of material...
When I see commercials like that I feel like I imagine people felt when they first saw the Jetsons - isn't all that technology cool? Why can't we have some here? Because I'm cheap & afraid I'd be checking FB at the museum is why!

I don't think that's her shirt. I thinks she's had a one night stand and is wearing the bloke's shirt.
She probably kept the shoes on during sex too.

Titania: OMG! You win. *pushes chips across table*
Tania: 1) Ha! 2) Can't FIL take the kids and give you a break?
Sherri O: Your kids would know better.
asplenia: Sex sells. Even implied sex.
The Bug: Amen.
P: Bandles could be marketed for this purpose specifically. Maybe that IS the statement: "I like one night stands and wearing the man's shirt"?

text: The best way to host a sleepover for boys is to put them outside in a tent. Jesse and Tony had a really fun time goofing around with their friends, Alex and Michael, who are also brothers but not twins. First they help put up the tent, then they wrestled in the tent, then they hunted around for night time critters, (lizards and bugs) then we looked at Venus through the telescope, then they wrestled in the tent some more. It was a loud, crazy and fun night, the only thing missing was the smores...(not really, they didn't need more energy.)

Out where the buses don't run
Recent action cams claim 12, 14 even 20 megapixel yet they struggle with any scene, smudge the details and wash out colours. Surely we are getting conned. I mean $600 for the latest action cam yet 3-4 year old phones blow them away for photo quality.
Even Nikon the famous photography name are now selling wearable Keymission 80 camera that produces lousy stills. I don't get it, big company willing to tarnish it's name on a $2 junk lens. Why not simply acquire the older phone sensor and lens and produce what would be class leading image quality. Shareholders in charge of product design?
Maybe in this YouTube age I am loco en la cabeza for wanting to capture riding moments in still images, like the tv character referenced in the title.

From the cell phone photos that I have seen people take on rides, they really do seem to do a better job than anything but the larger expensive cameras. Of course I am still using an iPhone 4s so I rarely use it for pictures.ReplyDeleteReplies
Many photos here in SE Asia are from an iPhone 4 Brandy. Still a better camera than the higher spec action cam I currently have but struggles a bit with high dynamic rangeDelete
I am using a samsung Galaxy S6 smart phone and have been using that for photos on my blog for over 12 months. Saves me carrying a camera and a phone and it's photos turn out great. Only downside I can tell is they can't zoom anymore than 2 times with out huge quality issues.ReplyDeleteReplies
I also use my phone a lot Steve. When travelling overseas I mostly leave my heavy camera behind and shall do the same for upcoming trips early next year. I wish someone made a small device that had a phone sensor and lens in a glove friendly while riding device.Delete
I may have found the solution to this... will report back after my next ride.ReplyDelete
Hey go right ahead and post something here. I'd love to hear from you and your comments will be published soon as I review them - this is just to stop spam otherwise I end up with 50 'cheap viagra' advertisements posted here.
