November 30 is Blue Beanie Day. Still fighting bad code and using web standards.
Month: November 2010
Thanksgiving Cold Front
Is this global warming? This is wacked "this mornings low 67°, which is 20° warmer than the norm and only 2° cooler than the normal daytime high."
Our local news station weather blog Tracking a Thanksgiving Cold Front:
Its lunchtime across the Brazos Valley this 22nd day of November…and the temperature outside is 78°. No need to rub your eyes, that's right…it's 78°. Needless to say, both overnight lows and daytime highs are running about 10 – 20 degrees above where they should be for this time of the year. In fact, this mornings low only made it down to 67°, which is 20° warmer than the norm and only 2° cooler than the normal daytime high.
We'll have to deal with this warm, muggy, breezy and cloudy weather for the next couple of days as we gear up for the beginning of the holiday season and head towards Thanksgiving Day. But changes are on the horizon…
You are looking at the temperatures from 7am Monday morning. Sharp, cold Canadian air is locked up beind the jetstream and is trying to work its way toward Texas and the Brazos Valley. And it does look like it will get here…it will just take a few more days. Its arrival? Welp…it looks like Thanksgiving day.
It's Turkey Time
It's that time of the year when the leaves turn colors, and the wind blows, and the drizzling rain starts on Friday and ends on Sunday. It's Fall in Texas. It's time to cook turkey! It's Thanksgiving, or, at least it's one week until Thanksgiving, and I bought a turkey fryer from Academy (COOKOUT SUPPLY COMPANY ELECTRIC TURKEY FRYER BY CAJUN INJECTOR) to make deep-fried Thanksgiving dinner.
The last thing I wanted to do was cook Thanksgiving dinner with an untested method on one of the most important meals we have all year. So, I got a sacrificial chicken and I fried it with the fryer a week in advance. It came out pretty good, but I learned something. Don't be timid when injecting the bird. Don't be afraid of tearing the flesh as this will leave holes for hot oil to seep in to and cook the hard to reach parts (near the leg joints). Anyway, here is a video of the chicken. Come back after Thanksgiving to see the real challenge.
I did a little research to find the best oil to cook with. The "All About Cooking Oils" page from missvickie.com was helpful. I don't know how old that page is or how long it will stay up so I made a copy of it in PDF form.
My 40th birthday bucket list
I have 365 days until my 40th birthday. I've done a lot in 39 years – some good, some bad, most I remember, some I've forgotten. I thought it would be fun to make a 40th birthday bucket list of things I could do in the next 365 days – before I turn 40.
- drive a fast car: Camaro, Challenger, Ferrari, Lamborghini
- fire a Barrett rifle (50 caliber sniper rifle)
- ride a hot-air balloon

Last year I wrapped up HighEdWeb 2009 with this thought:
We have something to think about for next year. In this age of transparency you must "know thyself" and be an expert in your area – experience and ignorance shine equally through the window of our minds. We are people in higher education with limited budgets that come together to live, laugh, learn, and we express ourselves using the technology we help to create – the web.
So, did we learn our lessons? Did we know ourselves? Did we become experts? The simple answer is "yes."
There was only one keynote this year, by Steve Krug, author of "Don't Make Me Think." While I think the keynote wasn't a failure, I expected more. I expected Steve to be a more engaging speaker. I'm glad he was the keynote. He did what he said he does in the book: he gave a quick accessibility test using a member of the audience.
I think the biggest difference this year was the comfort level. Being around so many people with the same job as me was comfortable. I think that was due in part because I was returning to many of the same people, but also because we had shared our lives on Twitter throughout the past year. I felt like I knew them.
What did I learn?
HTML5 and CSS3 were topics I wanted to learn about. I learned some of the the pros and cons of HTML5, and I got a lot of links to good resources. I got enough CSS3 before the conference and after the conference to keep me occupied for the next year. Bonus, those of us in attendance at the CSS…In 3D! workshop got a free copy of Christopher Schmitt's book, CSS Cookbook.
But, aside from these few technical topics, I felt 2010 was a little disappointing. Last year I had a similar feeling; however, last year was my first time going and I was a little overwhelmed.
Tweetups, After Darks and more
I met a lot more new folks and followed them on Twitter. We had a lot of shared experiences at this year's conference as well. Starting the night I arrived, through the night before I left, my circle of friends expanded.
Saturday night was dinner with the guys from A&M at O'Maley's in the Alley, followed by a tweetup at Madonna's Bar & Grill.
Sunday night was the "Welcome Reception" at the Contemporary Arts Center, followed by "Party Like It's 10-10-10" back at the Hilton, followed by the Hilton bar.
Monday night was sushi at Benihana (sponsored in part by nuCloud) with about 30 people. That was followed by the HighEdWeb After Dark mini pub crawl with stops at Madonna's, Nicholson's Gastropub, Bartini's, and the Cadillac Ranch.
Tuesday night we started at the Newport Aquarium with hot hors d'oeuvres with the fishes. That was followed by the Hofbräuhaus for dunkelbier (dark beer), bratwursts, pretzels, fried sauerkraut and fried pickles. Of course there was lots of accordion-playing and yodeling and prosting (toasting). I have to say it was almost as good as the one in Munich, but it felt American-ized.
Since Newport, Kentucky is on the other side of the Ohio River from Cincinnati, we were bussed over there. After Hofbräuhaus we took the bus back to the Hilton, but we didn't stop there. We topped off the night with a ride on the "Karaoke Plane" – straight to Hamburger Mary's. Mary's a mixed gay-straight bar and they probably had the best night of there lives because we showed up by the bus-load. I'd say at least 100 people were there drinking, singing, dancing, and of course playing pool.
Wednesday night we took it easy with the guys from A&M and dinner at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery.
Next year
What are the lessons for next year? High Ed Web 2011 will be in Austin, Texas. We should be able to send two people next year. I'll go out on a limb and predict the hot topics next year. Semantic content (Web 3.0) for mobile, desktop, vehicles, televisions, toasters, etc. (We can make content inter-operable; maybe using a CMS.) Location-based (geo-loco) applications with a side of augmented reality or geo-fencing. (Facebook Places exploded this year. Foursquare has the most users, for now. Gowalla is based in Austin.) HTML5 and CSS3 are growing, even if at a slow pace. (The W3C made an announcement about holding off deploying HTML5.)

Question: Do Your Socks Ever Go Missing?
10 comments:
Heh. Those darn gremlins.ReplyDelete
It's one of life's greatest mysteries... (Well, that may be a slight exaggeration.)ReplyDelete
Sometimes I lose socks. I think the machine eats them.ReplyDelete
I think they run off with the plastic lids that keep disappearing.ReplyDelete
I just think 'I won't worry about it, they'll show up eventually...and they do sure enough!'ReplyDelete
Lost socks and odd socks!ReplyDelete
Makes you wonder what is it with socks!!!
All the best Jan
LOL- When we went to get rid of our dryer which had quit working-we found at least a dozen socks that had worked their way through the rubber liner and were on the outside of the dryer drum. By then, the mates had all been tossed. lolReplyDelete
I wrote to sock manufacturers suggesting they sell socks in threes and not in pairs. That way we stand less chance of losing them and we're better able to pick two socks the same colour from the drawers. Also, they would sell 50% more socks.ReplyDelete
I wrote to them three times. They ignored me three times.
God bless.
My husband has never lost a sock. He folds them up before putting them in the dirty laundry so both go in the wash at the same time and they both come out together. Us girls, on the other hand, have about 20 socks without a mate sitting next to the dryer waiting to be paired again.ReplyDelete
We have a bag full of socks missing a mate. I don't know why we keep the bag.ReplyDelete

Allah praises and glorifies His Most Honorable Self for creating the heavens and earth, as a dwelling for His servants, and for making the darkness and the light to benefit them in the night and the day. In this Ayah, Allah describes darkness in the plural, Zulumat ﴿where Zulmah is singular for darkness﴾, while describing the light in the singular, An-Nur, because An-Nur is more honored. In other Ayat, Allah said,
﴿ظِلَـلُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ﴾
(To the right and to the lefts.) ﴿16:48﴾ Near the end of this Surah (chapter 6), Allah also said;
﴿وَأَنَّ هَـذَا صِرَطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ﴾
(And verily, this is my straight path, so follow it, and follow no (other) ways, for they will separate you away from His way.) ﴿6:153﴾ Allah said next,
﴿ثْمَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ﴾
(Yet those who disbelieve hold others as equal with their Lord.) meaning, in spite of all this, some of Allah's servants disbelieve in Him and hold others as partners and rivals with Him. Some of Allah's servants claimed a wife and a son for Allah, hallowed be He far above what they attribute to Him. Allah's statement,
﴿هُوَ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ مِّن طِينٍ﴾
(He it is Who has created you from clay,) refers to the father of mankind, Adam, from whom mankind originated, multiplied in numbers and spread about, east and west. Allah said,
﴿ثُمَّ قَضَى أَجَلاً وَأَجَلٌ مُّسمًّى عِندَهُ﴾
(Then has decreed a stated term. And there is with Him another determined term...) His saying;
﴿ثُمَّ قَضَى أَجَلاً﴾
(Then has decreed a stated term,) refers to death, while,
﴿وَأَجَلٌ مُّسمًّى عِندَهُ﴾
(And there is with Him another determined term...) refers to the Hereafter, according to Sa`id bin Jubayr who reported this from Ibn `Abbas. Similar statements were narrated from Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, Zayd bin Aslam, `Atiyyah, As-Suddi, Muqatil bin Hayyan and others. Ibn `Abbas and Mujahid said that,
(And then has decreed a stated term,) is the term of this earthly life, while,
(And there is with Him another determined term) refers to man's extent of life until he dies as mentioned in Allah's statement;
﴿وَهُوَ الَّذِى يَتَوَفَّـكُم بِالَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِالنَّهَارِ﴾
(It is He, Who takes your souls by night (when you are asleep), and has knowledge of all that you have done by day, then He raises (wakes) you up again that a term appointed (life) be fulfilled.) ﴿6:60﴾ The meaning of Allah's statement,
(With Him) is that none but Him knows when it will occur. Allah said in other Ayat,
﴿إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّي لاَ يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَآ إِلاَّ هُوَ﴾
(The knowledge thereof is with my Lord. None can reveal its time but He.) ﴿7:187﴾, and,
﴿يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَـهَا - فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا - إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَـهَآ ﴾
(They ask you about the Hour -- when will be its appointed time You have no knowledge to say anything about it. To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof.) ﴿79:42-44﴾ Allah said,
﴿ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ﴾
(Yet you doubt.) the coming of the (last) Hour, according to As-Suddi. Allah said next,
﴿وَهُوَ اللَّهُ فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَفِى الاٌّرْضِ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهْرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ ﴾
(And He is Allah in the heavens and the earth, He knows what you conceal and what you reveal, and He knows what you earn.) Meaning, it is He Who is called Allah, throughout the heavens and the earth, that is, it is He who is worshipped, singled out, whose divinity is believed in by the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth. They call Him Allah, and they supplicate to Him in fear and hope, except those who disbelieve among the Jinns and mankind. In another Ayah, Allah said;
﴿وَهُوَ الَّذِى فِى السَّمآءِ إِلَـهٌ وَفِى الاٌّرْضِ إِلَـهٌ﴾
(It is He Who is God in the heavens and the earth.)﴿43:84﴾ meaning, He is the God of those in heaven and those on earth, and He knows all affairs, public and secret.
﴿وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ﴾
(And He knows what you earn) all the good and bad deeds that you perform.
﴿وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ مِّنْ ءَايَـتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلاَّ كَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ - فَقَدْ كَذَّبُواْ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِيهِمْ أَنْبَاءُ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ - أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ مَّكَّنَّـهُمْ فِى الاٌّرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ وَأَرْسَلْنَا السَّمَآءَ عَلَيْهِم مَّدْرَاراً وَجَعَلْنَا الاٌّنْهَـرَ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَـهُمْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْناً ءَاخَرِينَ ﴾
(4. And never an Ayah comes to them from the Ayat of their Lord, but that they have been turning away from it.) (5. Indeed, they rejected the truth when it came to them, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to mock at.) (6. Have they not seen how many a generation before them We have destroyed whom We had established on the earth such as We have not established you And We poured out on them rain from the sky in abundance, and made the rivers flow under them. Yet We destroyed them for their sins, and created after them other generations.)

Gudrun – highlight of our tour!
Our Greeterin Gudrun gave us the insights of a part of Hamburg, no tour book ever can give because she is a local with a human touch. She is excellent, explained everything so clearly that we enjoyed the time with her. It is said that often we forget the sights we see but the person who shared them with us, never.
Thanks so much Gudrun for the wonderful time spent with you. Thanks also to Hamburg Greeter for your thoughtful organisation!

Greetings all! I have been working on this thing since about this time last year, took the winter off. Anyway, wanted to build a trailer about 10', figured I could get the essentials in that space,if I made it wide enough to fit 75 inch long bed crossways. Really liked the foldup bed on the bug trailer some fine folks renovated because then you get a dinette and a bed in the same space...also a decent mattress can be used. We had a camper that used about 52 separate cushions to make the bed, and our behinds were always between cushions!
So anyway, to make a long story short, it's the covering where I am doing something a little different. I had seen the posts about someone who had used some HVAC mastic on a boat I believe it was, then discussions of using mastic on canvas covered canoes, so I decided to try something like that. So I ordered a 1/2 gallon of speedi-products DP 1030
mastic from home depot. It is in the heating section of the website. Then....I was looking for something fun and easy to use for the basic covering, knowing that the product is applied over a fiberglass tape....so I looked around at various fiberglass netting things, etc. and decided to try the mastic on a piece of old fiberglass window screen, and no kidding, applied a layer of mastic over 2 thicknesses of screen, which I determined by a little research to be @ 7 oz per square yard weight, and yes!! looked good!! The mastic squeezed through the screen and stuck to the foam!! I wasn't surprised too much when I later saw posts related to making van cabinets out of foam and screen stuck on with paint! But I know the mastic is better than paint...it is fiber reinforced, and get this- it sands when dry!! I then ordered 100 running feet by 7 feet width from a screen outfit in LA. The screen can be hung on the trailer without ANY wrinkles or seams!!
I am to the point in my trailer construction where I have 2 coats on the screen on 2 sides of the trailer. I have used a cheap plastic squegee to put on the 2 coats. Another 1 or 2 will be necessary to completely cover the screen. But I will do 2 coats on all of it first. I have rounded the corners and am going to double lap each corner to toughen the corners. But let me tell you, when the mastic dries it gets really tough!! But since it looks like the finish will end up pretty darn smooth, I may get out some steel drywall knives to help maintain a maximum of fairness. I have a pretty good selection of tools overall.
I will make further posts detailing what I know about applying this method, and hopefully post some pics pretty soon, wish you all could see and touch (or poke and prod) this thing right now!! Anyway, tell me what you think! I have told my wife I am posting to the Foamers section, I feel like I have been foaming long enough for now....so good night all, more soon if you are at all interested....! Nodrog

Investment Philosophy
1) We have an approach that is more cautious than many investment advisors and we believe that while market corrections are inevitable, potentially reducing the magnitude of the loss of account value means less of a gain is needed to get the money back in the case of a market recovery. In short, the less you give away the less you need to get back.
2) Risk based rate of return: Investors need to know the impact of their risk choices. We learned a long time ago that the idea of "higher risk and higher return" generally leads to heartburn. We do not believe that extraordinary risk results in extraordinary returns and we will help you to understand that.
3) Chasing Returns: It is quite common for investors come to us seeking to beat some pie in the sky notion about returns that we believe to be unrealistic. We understand that realistically the notion of extremely high returns year after year is not sustainable and in fact not realistic. Bernie Madoff represented that to investors and thank goodness the whistle blower was finally able to get the regulators to understand that what Madoff was doing was not mathematically possible. We adhere to the philosophy that "if it is too good to be true then it probably is." We pride ourselves on being good stewards of your money and believe all investors should do the same. If you are seeking the highest rate of return possible then, we are most likely not the advisor for you.

McDonald's Manager Takes A Stand Against 'Coning' [Video]
You may remember our features earlier this year -- employees planking on the job and being fired, plus fast food workers being pranked by an Australian man who defined "coning" to the world.
Well, it seems that "coning" has caught on in the United States, and the management at a McDonalds in New Jersey is having none of it. "If you're gonna try to grab it by the ice cream, I can just throw these away. I've seen this stunt before," he says.
What do you think? Does management have the right to dictate how customers receive their food from a drive-thru, after they've already paid? Or could this manager be reprimanded for his actions?

The difference between farro, emmer & spelt
This week our Pasta Grannies episode stars Doriana and her farro flour pasta, cerretini. If flours interest you, here is a small summary on wheat classification. For ages, I thought farro was similar but not the same as spelt (a grain we find quite easily nowadays in the UK), but then I was told very firmly – by a UK based Italian chef – that yes course, spelt is just the English word for the Italian farro. Meanwhile I had no idea what emmer wheat was; it sounded sort of American and I'd never seen it on the shelves in Italy or the UK.
I had another google (I hate getting things wrong – not that google is a guarantee of anything) and came across an article in the New York Times, reaffirming what I thought originally:
Farro is Triticum dicoccum – and is the same thing as Emmer.
And there is also a 'false' farro – Triticum monococcum which resembles spelt. Spelt is Triticum spelta. It's more rounded and softer than farro.
Meanwhile, everyday wheat is Triticum aestivum; durum wheat (i.e. what semola is made from) is Triticum durum
We won't get into the arguments geneticists have with taxonomists – I've kept to the traditional classifications here. But do scientific names matter when it comes to cooking? I wouldn't go as far at the NY Times and assert farro is not a wheat – it's the same genus and does have some gluten – but it's a hexaploid wheat, whereas spelt and everyday wheat are tetraploid species. I think one should be aware spelt and farro flour will behave a bit differently – and gluten levels will differ. If you've got this far, well done. Please go over to our farro pasta recipe and enjoy – it's delicious.

We offer the replacement heaters for your Balboa system as well as pressure switches.
Filters for Catalina Spas
The dual filter compartments found on many Catalina Spas have 2 filters side by side with threaded bottom connections. To remove, simply turn the filter counter-clockwise to loosen, then lift up and out of the filter housing.
We offer the basic 4 1/4 x 4 inch 15 sqft cartridge with center hole, the 35 sqft 5 x 4 3/4 inch cartridge with center hole and the 50 sqft 5 x 6 1/2 inch filters also with 2 1/8 inch center hole.
Enter the part number stamped on your filter end cap into our search box to find the replacement or send us your dimensions and a picture and we will help you identify the correct replacement filter for your spa. (email@example.com)
Chemicals for Catalina Spas
Choose bromine or granulated chlorine as your main sanitizer. The manufacturer recommends placing the bromine tablets in the chamber inside the filter cartridge instead of using a floater. Maintain pH level between 7.2-7.6.

The Unpacking Privilege Series is a Law Weekly feature that will periodically publish the speeches from the Unpacking Privilege Diversity Week event.
Emily Reeder '17
Guest Columnist
I have struggled with mental illness for most of my life, but was not given a label until I was nine: PTSD and depression. I did not receive effective treatment until my early 20s. The interim decade can only be described as a roller coaster. I was haunted by thoughts of suicide and, in my late teens, went down a path that can only be described as a steady, downward mission of self-destruction. It's now been several years since my illness has substantially impacted my life, but the fact of its existence is always in the back of my mind.
My story is simultaneously diverse from many of my classmates and one of tremendous privilege. As an upper-class white woman, I am keenly aware of how my privilege shaped my experience with mental illness. My privilege provided me access to the opportunity to heal, and my privilege affords me the chance to stay healthy. Even with great health insurance that most people in this country cannot afford, the treatments that saved my life were extremely expensive, and, years later, I need access to medication that is far from cheap. I am rare–and lucky–to have an incredible support system that both financially and emotionally supports me. I know beyond a doubt that there is no way that I would be at UVa Law, much less succeeding here, without the continued access to medical care that my privilege provides me. To be honest, I'm not even sure I would still be alive.
The "diversity" of my experience is a fundamental driver in how I perceive others, particularly in terms of my duty as a person of privilege to others that struggle with mental illness. Every time I see a homeless person on the street, I am reminded that conservative estimates put the rate of mental illness among this population at 25 percent. These heartbreaking numbers don't capture the millions of people trapped in poverty who cannot afford the medical care they desperately need to function. The crisis of mental illness goes beyond affording care–there are people in our own community that are too afraid or ashamed to seek the help that would enable them to unlock their true potential.
As someone that has "overcome" my past, I don't even see whether to share my experiences with others as a choice: I MUST use my position of privilege. Lack of access to treatment and stigmatization of mental illness are two of the greatest problems facing the United States. We cannot even begin to have equality until we face this problem head on. Mental illness is tightly wound with so many issues: generational poverty, drug addiction, crime, and unemployment. Even when recognized, mental illness is only viewed as a legitimate disability among certain populations, often along racial, gender, sexuality, or economic lines.
Although progress has been made, the dominant narrative of the mentally ill is that we are somehow shameful or dangerous. I don't think I'm shameful or dangerous: the struggle with my illness is a diversity of experience that has made me driven, passionate, empathetic, and brave. Far from holding me back in law school, I believe my background is one of the reasons I have done so well. It's on me to make sure that I can lift others up to do the same. It's on all of us to build a society that makes stories like mine more common.

Political Notebook
Brandau puts up second pro-dam, anti-bullet train billboard
It's still unclear if Steve Brandau's pro-dam, anti-bullet train billboards will lead to any real political change in Sacramento, but there's been tons of positive feedback and even a call from the governor's office, which is plenty of motivation to keep the first-term Fresno City Council member going.
This week, Brandau unveiled his second billboard, at Highway 99 and American Avenue on the southern edge of Fresno. It's on the west side the freeway and is visible to southbound 99 traffic.
"Governor, it's about priorities," the sign says.
With Brandau moving full speed ahead on his billboards, Oliver Baines, his Fresno City Council colleague, wants the state's High-Speed Rail Authority to know that Brandau doesn't speak for the council. Baines recently sent a letter to rail authority CEO Jeff Morales to "confirm the City of Fresno's support for High Speed Rail." Baines, the council's current president, writes that he "can appreciate" Brandau's right to free speech, but says his position is not that of the council.
The first billboard, erected at Highway 99 and Herndon Avenue on the northern edge of the city, says "Governor put Our Water BEFORE your Train." It is on 99's east side and is visible to northbound traffic.
Both signs share one instantly recognizable item — big hands giving thumbs up to a dam and thumbs down to a train.
As with the first sign, Brandau hopes people will see the website on the billboard — www.damtrain.com — and click on it for more information.
Already, Brandau says a third billboard is in the works, this one "further afield," though he isn't specifying the exact location.
The first sign cost Brandau's campaign account around $3,000 for the artwork and to keep the sign up for six weeks. The second sign cost $1,500 and will be up for a month.
Brandau has said his frustration with the lack of progress on new dams at Temperance Flat above Lake Millerton and at Sites Reservoir in Colusa County are what led to the initial billboard. The state's high-speed rail project looks to be a higher priority for Gov. Jerry Brown than increasing water storage in the state, Brandau says. He says he'd like to see both projects on even footing.
On social media, Brandau was hailed by like-minded conservatives after the first sign went up. More cynical observers noted such political strategies have been tried before in the Valley, but never resulted in real change. The only real beneficiary, they noted, was good press for the person pressing the cause, which in this case was Brandau.
But as word of the sign spread after the first billboard went up, Brandau was suddenly in high demand on Los Angeles-area conservative talk radio, as well as other media outlets. Then came the call from a staffer in the governor's office.
It hasn't stopped.
"Major interest now rolling in," Brandau says.

The William Penn Project
The William Penn Project is a classroom-based learning initiative that explores and shares the history of a segregated African American high school in High Point, North Carolina from its founding in 1892 through its closure in 1968. Undergraduate students at High Point University and high school students at the Penn-Griffin School for the Arts (which inhabits the buildings that used to hold William Penn High School) have done archival research and oral history interviews with alumni and used that evidence to build a website on the history of the school.
This project has multiple educational, community, and historical goals. For college students, it is an opportunity to learn about the history of the community that surrounds their university; high school students can discover the stories of the earlier generations that walked the halls of their school. In both cases, they are also learning about a culture that is often quite distinct from their own while developing an array of research, writing, communication, and technology skills. The project also aims to enhance relationships between university and community members, and create opportunities for meaningful dialogue about issues of race, class, and education among the diverse communities of High Point. Additionally, we hope to enrich understanding of High Point's history by incorporating voices that traditionally have been less recognized in chronicles of the city's past.
Information Request

CNCC Craig Campus Geothermal Program: 82-well closed loop GHP well field to provide geothermal energy as a common utility for a new community college campus. Geothermal Project
Last modified on July 22, 2011.
|Project Title
|CNCC Craig Campus Geothermal Program: 82-well closed loop GHP well field to provide geothermal energy as a common utility for a new community college campus.
|Project Type / Topic 1
|Recovery Act – Geothermal Technologies Program: Ground Source Heat Pumps
|Project Type / Topic 2
|Topic Area 1: Technology Demonstration Projects
|Project Description
| This "geothermal central plant" concept will provide ground source loop energy as a utility to be shared by the academic and residential buildings on the soon-to-be-constructed campus.
The primary component in this campus approach is the common GHP well field ground heat exchanger (GHEX). The innovative design of the shared well field will demonstrate that it is cost-effective to develop shared geoexchange systems to provide GHP energy for present and future growth on campus. Each new building will be constructed with individual GHP mechanical systems and will utilize the common GHP loop energy.
In addition to grants, the project will also be funded in-part from energy savings performance contracting. The demonstrated energy savings will be guaranteed by an energy services company (Chevron Energy Solutions) and the associated utility and operational savings will be leveraged to help fund the total cost of the project.
As well as providing energy savings benefits, this project is expected to create 65 "green" jobs.
| Demonstrate application of closed-loop ground source heat pump technology to provide improved energy efficiency of heating and cooling systems compared to traditional
heating and cooling technologies.

|Total Project Cost
| $946,149.00
|Principal Investigator(s)
| Dr. John C. Boyd, President, CNCC
|Targets / Milestones
| Geothermal energy provided by a ground source heat pump system will reduce consumption of electricity (~60% is from coal) and natural gas resources compared to traditional heating and cooling systems. This project will reduce CO2 emissions by 539 Tons per year compared with a traditional HVAC system. A 25-year Lifecycle Cost Comparison (LCC) demonstrates the economic viability of the GHP technology with traditional HVAC construction. The results of this analysis which takes into account initial capital cost estimates and energy models using a Trace 700 model shows that the GHP solution is the most economic solution for the new campus. This project will demonstrate and report on the actual implemented costs and energy usage.

Abe Cabinet Endorses Anti-Democratic Education
SNA (Tokyo) — The Japanese political world is filled today with intense discussions about a 127-year-old document that had long ago been discarded as a reference point for education policy, but has now been revived by an Abe administration bent on rewriting the verdict of Pacific War history. In doing so, they have also revealed an alarming attraction to anti-democratic education philosophies.
It was Moritomo Gakuen Principal Yasunori Kagoike who triggered the recent round of debate over the Imperial Rescript on Education, promulgated by the modernizing Meiji Emperor in 1890. For the rightwing activist Kagoike, young children should be taught to memorize and follow the ideals of this late 19th century document.
After the Moritomo Gakuen controversy erupted, Mizuho Fukushima of the Social Democratic Party cornered Defense Minister Tomomi Inada in Diet debate on March 8 in order to reveal the minister's sympathies with Principal Kagoike's educational policies. Inada, known to hold rightwing ideological views, took the bait, declaring, "We should bring back the spirit of the Imperial Rescript on Education, which aimed for a state based on moral principles."
The Abe Cabinet itself is now openly endorsing and defending the Imperial Rescript on Education, in spite of the fact that both houses of the Diet denounced the document in June 1948 as a handmaiden to wartime Japanese militarism.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga declares that the government is not going to "proactively" encourage the teaching of the Imperial Rescript in Japanese schools, but will leave the matter up to local authorities to decide for themselves.
But Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's personal support, like that of Defense Minister Inada, is not really in doubt. When he was chief cabinet secretary to then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in June 2006, Abe declared in Diet debate that the Imperial Rescript expressed, in his opinion, "very wonderful ideals."
Indeed, while some of the principles of the document are not in any way objectionable, such as its exhortations to be "affectionate to your brothers and sisters" and true to your friends, it also includes passages such as, "should emergency arise, offer yourselves courageously to the State; and thus guard and maintain the prosperity of Our Imperial Throne coeval with heaven and earth."
As mainstream historians note, while the Imperial Rescript on Education drew upon themes derived from Confucianism and Shinto, it repurposed them in an unprecedented manner that encouraged worship of the Japanese Emperor as a godlike figure. It soon became a rallying point for Japanese imperialism as the country quickly adopted modern technology, led by the Imperial Army and Navy.
In other words, even in its own time the Imperial Rescript was shaped and intended as an anti-democratic document pitting a supposedly divine imperial system against untamed movements of popular sovereignty. It was written by modern men with modern political objectives. Indeed, the promulgation of the document occurred shortly after Japan's first elections and the establishment of the first directly-elected Diet under the Meiji Constitution.
Through its embrace of such a document, the Abe administration plays directly into narratives such as that of Xinhua of China: "From relaxing post-war pacifist constitution that bans its military from fighting abroad to ambitious overseas military presences, and now from the military to national eduction, the steps taken by the Abe administration reveal Japanese far rightists' attempt to revive pre-war militarism."
While the Beijing media has its own interests in mind when making such assertions, it must also be noted that the Abe administration has entirely set itself up for this kind of criticism through needlessly polarizing stances such as this one.
Embracing a previously disavowed late 19th century document that called upon the Japanese people to "offer" themselves to "the State" and which declared the way of Japanese Emperors to be "infallible for all ages" is not to be regarded as equivalent to "moral education" as reasonably understood in the early 21st century.
Appendix: Full Text of Imperial Rescript on Education
Know ye, Our subjects:
Our Imperial Ancestors have founded Our Empire on a basis broad and everlasting and have deeply and firmly implanted virtue; Our subjects ever united in loyalty and filial piety have from generation to generation illustrated the beauty thereof. This is the glory of the fundamental character of Our Empire, and herein also lies the source of Our education. Ye, Our subjects, be filial to your parents, affectionate to your brothers and sisters; as husbands and wives be harmonious, as friends true; bear yourselves in modesty and moderation; extend your benevolence to all; pursue learning and cultivate arts, and thereby develop intellectual faculties and perfect moral powers; furthermore advance public good and promote common interests; always respect the Constitution and observe the laws; should emergency arise, offer yourselves courageously to the State; and thus guard and maintain the prosperity of Our Imperial Throne coeval with heaven and earth. So shall ye not only be Our good and faithful subjects, but render illustrious the best traditions of your forefathers. The Way here set forth is indeed the teaching bequeathed by Our Imperial Ancestors, to be observed alike by Their Descendants and the subjects, infallible for all ages and true in all places. It is Our wish to lay it to heart in all reverence, in common with you, Our subjects, that we may thus attain to the same virtue.

Workshop: The Making of Materials. Science and Technology in the 17th and 18th centuries
Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, 10 — 11 December 2004
Organized by Ursula Klein and Emma C. Spary
The overall goal is to explore the question of how seventeenth- and eighteenth-century savants and craftsmen, or artisans, interacted in the production and exploration of materials — such as dyes, metals, gunpowder ceramics, glass, food, medicines, chemical laboratory substances — and how this interaction shaped the ways of making and knowing in science and technology.
We invite everybody who is interested in the topic to attend the workshop sessions as listener. There is no registration fee but since there is only limited space available you are kindly requested to contact us in advance. For further details, please visit our intitute's web site, which will be updated regularly: http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/materials/. Also the schedule of the workshop will be published there soon.

Mitch Jones & Michael Tee stand as two of the key figures in the history of alternative music in Sydney. Together they founded M-SQUARED Records – home to a cluster of now seminal local post-punk artists such as SYSTEMATICS, THE MAKERS OF THE DEAD TRAVEL FAST, YA YA CHORAL, PROD and their own band, SCATTERED ORDER. Nearly 30 years after the fact, SCATTERED ORDER reformed their original line-up earlier this year, and started both playing live and recording once again. I was asked to DJ at their second 'reformation' gig with THE MAKERS OF THE DEAD TRAVEL FAST and A SLOW RIP last month – a gig which also represented one of the last live events at the Abercrombie Hotel in Chippendale before it closed its doors.
This mix is essentially my DJ set trimmed to a neat 43 minutes, and features Australia music from the M-SQUARED heyday (1979-1983), both from label artists and beyond. Witnessing this music now, some 30 years later, I'm not particularly aware of the impact that each artist or track may have had at the time, instead I chose to respond to the sounds that still have resonance today. Indeed, listening end-to-end to this mix, this feels like the start of a much longer continuum, and it becomes clear (almost immediately) that there are many current local bands and artists that – wittingly or otherwise – are fostering a unique Australian tradition that began over three decades ago.

Broccoli City Festival held their first annual fest back in 2013 in celebration of Earth Day. Their goal for the rapidly growing celebration in light of "Mutha" was to get millennial's and urbanites excited and aware of sustainability for the future; doing so by "mobilizing and educating through social impact campaigns and major events". Each year, different unique, positive, and impacting lifestyle brands huddle together to present to the masses a more eclectic approach to everyday living essentials. You'll come across an array of different eclectic lines, including those manufacturing organic personal care products, Magazines embracing & educating on Hip-Hop culture, Caricature artists that took a knack for painting, cool street wear startups, and more.
Along with showcasing the many multifaceted vendors that get involved yearly, the festival promotes healthy and progressive lifestyles in a culture-based atmosphere that brings together many different walks of life.
I'm SUCH a fan of what D.C. is doing with Broccoli City Festival and their now, Broccoli City Conference. The Culture as a whole is doing great things as far as urban festivals, but D.C. particularly.. yeah, they're on to something. I started hitting BC Fest back in 2015, and that was their 3rd time curating the event.. Number one acts like Erykah Badu headlined the show, not as Ms. Badu, but as her DJ alias, Lo Down Loretta Brown. Willow & Jaden Smith (& unexpectedly, Jada Pinkett Smith), Kali Uchis, Kaytranada, Joey Bada$$, Tiara Thomas, & my favorite, Tink also co-starred on the incredible line-up.. so talk about a first-time experience. I've been back every year since, as media.
This year was pretty special for BC Fest, in my opinion, more-so because they innovated in such a way that advanced the mission for the festival– including a week-long itinerary of educational panels, interactive pop-ups, and even a 5k run promoting fitness. The Southside area of D.C. is densely populated with poverty. Having such a positive continual event in the heart of the "ghetto" imposes unity that is quite necessary for these type of communities. And then the idea of having a stage graced in the DMV with acts like Badu one year and Solange another is enough to make you damn proud to be from the surrounding area.
Shoutout to the fact that they also switched things up a notch, having TiDal live stream the entire show, also getting up close & personal with the fans with merch and photo ops. There were also SO many unbelievably talented artists also over the festival grounds, whether it be with paint, expression, clothes, or even foods. The amount of food trucks and tents that had thee most DELICIOUS and HEALTHY food options was a sheer upgrade for the 2017 books. I had BBQ and cornbread with an organic donut, yo. It was serious.
The highlight of the BC Fest was the 2 festival stages. If you didn't peep the line-up, you missed out something serious. Solange, Rae Sremmurd, Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, Chaz French, Smino, Nao, AlunaGeorge, Nick Grant, and many others gave spectacular performances–my favorite of course coming from Solange, the secret to the depths of so many of our souls. Seeing her perform her debut album so elegant and regally made me that much more of a fan. Too bad we weren't allowed to really get any performance footage. BUT, thanks to the genius likes of Shamon Jones, better known as Nsightz, we have a few beautiful shots for you to live vicariously through.
