Hand in hand they began.
Her dress, pure and white,
Trailed like water through sand
Their life held such promise
As love, their hearts held
Nothing could touch them
As their gazes so told
His soul stared in hers,
Blue, with innocent love
And hers pierced through his,
Green, glimmering,
Like bright diamonds above
Their eyes spoke the words
Which their mouths lacked in power
Their love was immortal,
Timeless it stood—
Its pulse staunch and sure
And strong as the sea,
Filling the basins
With awe in decree
Tendril of shadow
Darkness deep
Absence of light
Iron keep
Laden with stone
Blackened with blood
Hatred invades…
Clenched fingers gripped
Around her fair neck—
Bruises formed on flesh
Under Hatred's right hand
A knife gripped in the other
To his throat it was held;
A token of hatred
Or envy untold
No room to struggle
Forced to sit in stiff stance
On his knees before she
Whom he'd loved at first glace
From her eyes spilled the tears
Which she'd vowed to shed
When her heart she had given
To his open and earnest hands
Her soul seeped out
In the rain of her eyes;
The soul which blindsided
Had met its demise
What once was connected
Was now rent twain
In her heart she longed
To be one again
His hands yearned
To touch hers—
His heart, screamed to whisper
In her ear,
"Have no fear;
My love, have no fear"
Their life which was calling
Was fleeing like sand
In an hourglass falling
In panicked attempts
To break free from the clutches
Of claustrophobic sense
In icy cold malice
He, Hatred, broke through
"You're worthless,
Your love will never be true.
Love is selfless—
Every man hides evil within.
When faced with a choice
Love cannot transcend.
Who shall it be?
For one shall live,
But a life must be chosen
For the other to give"
Suddenly, out of the fog all around,
A Stranger walked through,
Had they finally been found?
So sweet was His voice,
Which was mercy in wealth
He took Hatred's blade,
Cutting into Himself
Blood from his head,
His hands, his feet,
The Stranger unraveled
The lovers' defeat
He smiled so softly,
And lay down his head,
As the blood soaked the ground:
The Stranger was dead.
And then with a scream,
Hatred kneeled on all fours
And was forced to the ground
Where then he changed form.
There in the mud, in Hatred's wake,
Hissed and recoiled a slithering snake.
Her eyes met his,
Full of hope, fear aside
Then they both wept with sorrow
For the stranger who died.
He lifted her off of the ground
To her feet,
Where the touch of their lips
Once again was made sweet.
They danced and embraced,
And then said without fear,
"Because of his death,
We are free to leave here."
Even as they, hand in hand,
Took the road
The Stranger behind them
Took breath and arose.

Editor's Note: This interview was conducted nearly 20 years ago as part of a project I completed for the UCLA Educational Leadership program. The goal was to understand how educational leaders use computers in their daily lives and how they manage technology's many challenges in their workplace. I am amazed at how well the issues raised by the twelve K-12 leaders and higher education professionals I interviewed have stood the test of time. The hardware and software has changed, to be sure, but the challenge of using technology as a leadership tool still remains. Enjoy! *extra credit if you answer the questions at the end of each interview!
Interview with Anthony Jackson, LAUSD Principal
What is the appropriate role of technology in education? What is it good for and how do you think it should be used in elementary classrooms?
I'm an advocate of technology, or more accurately, I'm an advocate for kids using technology. It offers a new way to learn for students who are coming up in the media oriented world, not the paper train world I grew up in. Electronic information is where it is. Electronic information proliferates. When I was young, I hurried home to read Sports Illustrated. Today's kids hurry home to read Sports Illustrated on the web. Its different now and I think educators everywhere need to recognize that fact.
When you get to a certain level with the technology, you can see how to seriously integrate it into the curriculum. I don't believe in the much heralded "one-computer" classroom concept. It doesn't work, and research backs that up. Technology is a tool, just like paper, pencils, and textbooks. The goal is to put the tools students need directly into their hands. Of course, in a district that has difficulty even maintaining adequate levels of textbooks, infusing technology into classrooms, especially like we've done it in Los Angeles Unified, is no easy task.
The real power of technology is in that it can significantly increase reading and writing ability in students.
I think about the way I was educated, which is fundamentally different than the activities and projects my second graders complete. There were no CD-ROM's, no word processors, no authentic authoring of books and stories. Nothing like that existed for me. My students get so much out of interacting with the technology, the writing tools, the communication tools. It's extremely motivational, of course, but that is only a surface level benefit. The real power of technology is in that it can significantly increase reading and writing ability in students. Technology helps you create your own books. I was not a child author, but now, using computers with graphics my second graders are authors, they actually are.
How can technology be made to work in schools. What's the solution?
In order for technology to "work" properly, you really have to infuse it and saturate it into classrooms. It won't work with just one computer. When I worked as a technology training consultant for the district, I introduced a concept called "low-ending" which urged schools to purchase the least expensive technology equipment and to buy lots more of it. At Ninety-Ninth Street School, we were able to put four computers in every classroom. In addition, we networked the computers to a single printer. Because we purchased the cheapest computers we could find we were able to purchase significantly more computers than if we had purchased the top-of-the-line models. Having four computers in each classrooms, with kids typing on them all of the time, was like having an extra teaching assistant. The work that the students completed looked great, it looked professional. It not only motivated the students to write more, but it also helped in their editing, since the word processor had a spell-check feature. All in all, I'm convinced that our approach worked better than say, buying one super-duper computer will all of the bells and whistles but then only having a few students be able to access it and maybe fewer teachers understanding all of features and capabilities. I think it was a case of "less is best."
What about other forms of technology, are they important too?
Oh definitely! I'm also an advocate for other forms of technology like the television. I think instructional television is seriously overlooked, especially in the elementary grades. In addition to the four computers in every classroom, each one of our classrooms had a television, some hooked up to cable, a VCR, and a Laser Disk player. We had a rich collection of instructional videos and science laser disks. The Windows on Science laser disk program significantly changed the way I taught science. You can flip back and forth on the laser disks between English and Spanish audio tracks. Using that technology, I was able to reach some of my limited English proficient students that I would never have been able to do without it.
In the classroom, the overhead projector is the most important piece of equipment I have. It is the most practical piece of technology in the classroom because it focuses student's attention like nothing else. Its a great visual medium for the students, especially young kids who just can't see the chalkboard. I'm convinced that an overhead projector should be in every classroom. Coming in a close second would be instructional television, which really includes instructional video, VCR's, and laserdisks. These technologies are important for a couple of reasons. One, they are relatively easy to use. Most don't require a lot of advance preparation. Second, they can be used with the whole class, everybody can see the television in a classroom, especially if it is mounted on a cart or up high on the wall. Only a few kids can use a computer at any one given time. And then, listening centers. Its amazing how much learning can take place when a child sits down and reads a book while listening to the language audio cassettes. And that technology is so cheap too. We bought headphones for less than fifteen bucks from a retail store and gave each teacher three or four of them. We even bought battery rechargers so we wouldn't have to keep buying batteries. In the long run, it was cheaper than buying the district issued, one hundred and twenty five dollar "listening centers." It fit nicely into the whole "low-ending" concept.
What should educational leaders know about technology?
Well first they have to be coming from the position of technology integration, technology for the curriculum, technology to enhance student learning and achievement, and never from the standpoint of technology for technology's sake. If you start there, you might make mistakes, but you won't make the glaring mistakes that constitute the vast majority of technology purchases for schools. I really think that if your focus is on integrating technology into the curriculum you will avoid numerous pitfalls. If you buy technology without really understanding how it is going to benefit students, teachers, and parents, I think you will run into problems immediately. I've seen people, in particular, administrators, get caught up in technological hype and hoopla over new releases of software, new technologies, etc. Equipment gets purchased before people ask the critical questions - how will this be used in the classroom? Who will support and maintain the equipment? How steep is the learning curve for teachers? What is the total cost to own and maintain that piece of equipment? These are the leadership questions that never get answered.
If you buy technology without really understanding how it is going to benefit students, teachers, and parents, I think you will run into problems immediately.
Most administrators I know start talking about RAM and megabytes before they start taking about instructional objectives or learning outcomes. People started talking about multimedia libraries, for example, before they talked about multimedia classrooms. So now you have the situation where the librarian isn't trained and doesn't know how to use it and still most classrooms don't have access to multimedia research facilitates. I saw two computers purchased in 1991 for use in the school's library that were never used. And when I say never, I mean literally the librarian refused to use it, period. So about $5000 worth of technology has sat idle since the day it was installed and probably sits there today, still unused. Now had that equipment been put in the classroom of a teacher who wanted it, I'm sure it would have been used fully. There is a huge disconnect between administrative technology visions and what is actually occurring in effective instruction. Those sorts of issues are important. If those computers had been put in a computer lab where students were working they might have gotten used. To this day they still go unused.
So the whole point of thinking how kids and teachers will interact with the technology is important. And another thing with the teachers is how do I get my teacher's proficient? Training is a another big issue. And then, purchasing, acquisition, and maintenance. A deep understanding of how those issues affect and impact one another and how they affect integration of technology in schools.
What's the biggest disadvantage of technology?
It doesn't always work, more than anything, it doesn't always work. Based on the consumer models of microwaves, refrigerators, and telephones all working all of the time, well, computers aren't like that yet. One of the biggest challenges for technology in schools is its ease of use. If its not easy to use, it won't be. It's that simple. The bottom line is that technology is very challenging to maintain. I know from experience how difficult it is to maintain the stuff. Students steal mouseballs or cables, equipment gets dirty or damaged, software becomes obsolete. Computers come in so many different sizes and styles, its hard just to find the right lock-down devices to secure them to the tables. I've worked in schools that have waited two years or more for computers to be installed in classrooms. In some cases, the original people who purchased the equipment have moved onto new schools, and individuals don't even know where the computers are supposed to go. Maintenance is a problem, a major problem. We have thirty one schools and an investment of several million dollars. We really need a full time person just to deal with that much equipment. I mean, thirty one schools are basically their own district. Most districts of that size have their own full time technology coordinators.
At Muir, they are missing equipment, they have the wrong software, and no one seems capable of correcting the problem.
At Muir Middle School here in Los Angeles, they have had Macintosh LC 580's sitting in boxes, uninstalled, for the last two years. No one takes responsibility. Technology coordinators change - there are all sorts of transition problems with staff members. At Muir, they are missing equipment, they have the wrong software, and no one seems capable of correcting the problem. They are missing simple items, like power plugs, mouseballs, keyboards. Some of the plugs have wires that are bent down and broken. The connect cable prongs are bent. Its a mess. I told the teacher of one classroom, "you have some issues here, you need to purchase the following equipment just to get your equipment to work." At Muir, they thought it was the plant managers job to install the computers, which it isn't. I would describe the actual implementation of technology in some schools as a disaster.
Do you think that technology awareness and proficiency is something that should be a prerequisite for teachers and administrators?
Yes, absolutely, I think that the nature of work is such today that you need individuals who have a fundamental baseline set of skills - word processing, word perfect, word, Clarisworks, generate documents, correspondence, etc. in a business setting. Every technology leader should have an understanding in proficiency in the Office suite. All leaders need to know PowerPoint and spreadsheets. I mean, you can't write a grant or a budget proposal without using a spreadsheet.
If you could offer any advice to individuals in similar positions to yours, what would you say?
Above all, stay current. You've got to keep up with the changes because they come so fast and they always mean radical changes in the way we purchase equipment, the way we teach, and the way we learn. The cliché about the jobs our students are going to have in 10-15 years haven't been created yet isn't really a cliché, its reality. On the same note, many of the tools our teachers will be using in 10 years haven't been created yet either. All we can do is hope to stay current and have your sights set on the technology on the horizon. Leaders need to understand what appears to be coming down the pipeline. They need to have technology change permanently on their radar screens.
Reflective Questions:
- Suppose your leadership challenge was not to create a new technology plan from scratch, but to inherit one already in its second or third year of operation. How would you evaluate the existing equipment, skill level of teachers, and overall needs of the students? How would you pick up from where it was left off?
- Mr. Jackson talks about how today's generation of students are different than in the past. Today's students have ready access to technology and the information age. How has the influence of video games, cable television, and computers changed the lives of young students? Has this had a positive or negative impact on student learning and achievement?
- Anthony Jackson separates technology into two camps: One is a tool for learning, and the other is a tool for teaching. How is technology currently used to augment, support, and extend teaching? What are the easiest, most cost-effective methods of using technology to promote student learning?
- Jackson's concept of "low-ending" - of using less expensive technologies but using them more liberally - is in sharp contrast to current practice which values more expensive equipment, computer networks, etc. What is the value in adopting a "low-ending" approach? What other models exist? How might this be a more appropriate strategy in some classrooms than others?
- Mr. Jackson addresses the use of technology as a cultural leveler - Why might technology use be more important in the community of Watts than elsewhere? What advantages to students in affluent communities bring to the table that other students don't? Should this affect the way technology grant monies are distributed? Should schools in less affluent communities, or rural communities, receive more funds for technology?
- Why is it important to start from an instructional perspective first, before thinking about equipment and software? Can you think of any examples of equipment that was purchased but never used? What were the reasons?
- What could be done to help a school like Muir Middle School to solve its technology implementation problems? What might account for the perpetuation of the poor implementation?

Have you ever tried mango and tomatoes together? They go fabulously together – a little sweet, a little sour, but not over powering! Well, I sometimes add mushroom to the mix and stir fry! Something about the textures goes great!
- 8 oz of mushroom, sliced
- 2 medium sized tomatoes
- 2 medium sized mangoes
- Salt, as desired
- Cooking oil/fat of choice (such as coconut oil)
1. Cut your tomatoes in to smaller pieces.
2. Cut the in to cubes – here's a great article on how!
3. Heat cooking oil/fat in a large skillet over medium high heat.
4. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, mangoes in to the skillet.
5. Stir fry for about 5-10 minutes or until mushrooms are cooked thoroughly.
6. Serve!
You liked that didn't you? Here's more where that came from:

Topic Page: Galway
County in the province of Connaught, W Republic of Ireland; the county town is Galway. Bounded by the Atlantic (W), it has an indented coastline with many islands. It is mountainous in the W, low-lying in the E, and drained by the River Shannon. It is an agricultural region. Industries: tourism, agriculture, cotton-spinning, sugar-refining, handicrafts. Area: 5,939sq km (2,293sq mi). Pop. (2002) 208,826.
County on the west coast of the Republic of Ireland, in the province of Connacht; county town Galway; area 5,940 sq km/2,293 sq mi; population (2002) 209,100. Lead and zinc are found at Tynagh, and marble is quarried and processed at several sites. The main farming activity is cattle and sheep grazing. The Connemara National Park is in Galway. Towns include Salthill, a suburb of Galway city and seaside resort, Ballinasloe, Clifden, and Tuam.
Features Galway is rich in early archaeological remains, including ring forts, tumuli, stone circles, and crannógs (artificial islands); the Turoe Stone with its La Tène carvings dates from the 1st century BC. There are also a significant number of monastic remains in the county. Much of west Galway, including parts of Connemara, is a Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area).
Physical The east is low-lying, fertile, limestone plain, but in the west the surface is mountainous, with the Twelve Bens group, the highest of which is Benbaun (730 m/2,395 ft), and the Maamturk Mountains, which rise to over 701 m/2,300 ft; in the south are the Slieve Aughty Mountains, which include Mweelrea Mountain (819 m/2,688 ft). Also in the south is Galway Bay, with the Aran Islands. To the west of Lough Corrib is Connemara. The Shannon is the principal river.
Coast and waterways The county is bounded to the west by the Atlantic (where the coast is much indented); to the south by County Clare; to the southeast by County Tipperary, Lough Derg, and the River Shannon; to the east by counties Offaly and Roscommon; and to the north by Roscommon and Mayo. Among the islands off the coast are Inishbofin, Inishark, and Gorumna in the northwest, and the Aran Islands in the southwest. The chief rivers, other than the Shannon, are the Shannon's tributaries the Corrib, the Suck, and the Clare. A branch of the Grand Canal connects the harbour at Shannon with Ballinasloe, but is closed to navigation.

Oh, this adorable athlete makes me want to squeal. He's so prototypically Canadian it makes me giddy.
It was Canada's first-ever medal in this competition, and we're all super-duper proud of Weinberger's bronze finish.
He's the cutest damn thing in the whole damned world. And he could teach olympians like Ryan Lochte a thing or two about how being humble is actually endearing *and* sexy.


text: This week on In the Drink, Joe Campanale is joined by Michelle Biscieglia, Wine Director at Blue Hill New York. Like many sommeliers before her, Michelle was steered towards the world of wine by a glass of old, red Burgundy. While growing up just outside of Atlantic City, wine was not a part of her daily culture. Moving to NYC, working as a waiter at Pastis and participating in the "Reserve Wine" staff trainings changed all of that. Her career focus shifted, and Michelle began working as an intern in order to learn how to taste and appreciate wine. From there, she gained valuable "hands-on" experience in the vineyards, spending two sequential harvest seasons (2009 & 2010) in Burgundy. Upon her return to New York, she worked as a sommelier at Bar Boulud and Boulud Sud. In the summer of 2012, Michelle traveled to Piedmont to work in the vineyards of Barolo. Michelle joined Blue Hill in January 2013, bringing her love and passion of wine to the West Village. This program was brought to you by Visit Napa Valley

It's a goddamn ripoff! Say no more, I shan't hear it.
Well, it's true that Inception bears similarities to Paprika, the final completed film by Satoshi Kon. The similarities end at premise, where both involve agents who enter people's dreams, as one story feels distinctly western — 'daylight noir' atmosphere, mano a mano action and explosions, and tragic romance as backstory. Paprika on the other hand is saturated and colorful, and deals in themes of childhood, nostalgia, the loss of innocence, becoming one's true self, and stigmatic romance as the bright, bright future.
If a good idea exists, Inception will get the pass for co-opting it because A) it takes it in the opposite direction, a fresh perspective, and B) Inception is so good.
This is one of those movies that I never remember how much I like until I'm watching it. 100% of that is its popularity. At 21, I think I'm nearing the point beyond being stubborn about admitting to liking hyper-popular things, but for Inception it isn't just quantitative, nor my focused, laser distaste for The Dark Knight.
People specifically compare Inception to the last mindbender action scifi, which was indeed The Matrix, from eleven years earlier. The idea that any human being person can honestly believe that Inception, while great, is better than The Matrix…
I don't know, man. We've rapped on some heavy themes — misogyny, war, violence — but this is one that hurts my heart in a special place.
Inception, let me ask you about these. Art design? Nope. Iconic characters? Nope — yes! Well, they're archetypes, but not archetype-setters. Fleshed out characters/character dynamics? Not really… The most cathartic and thrilling finale with escalating set pieces and the swell of emotion as Neo fulfills his destiny and the helicopter hits the building and explodes and when he turns in the subway to face Smith and when he gets brought back to life and the Sentinels and don't you fucking forget the iconic moment of bullet time still so cool even after all this—
However, Inception is an emotionally satisfying, intensely exciting action movie with a compelling high concept and one pristine, jaw-dropping set-piece.
Any kind of science-fiction reworking of corporate espionage would be neat, I think, and this is a very extreme idea. Why the movie wasn't about stealing ideas but implanting them, such that you'd have to introduce two scifi ideas in sequence… not really sure. But it paid off. Proof is in the picture, as they say, I'm sure.
I actually quite enjoy Dom Cobb's (name? No) backstory, because it applies the high concept to human drama. It's a natural exploration of the world Christopher Nolan has created and he goes on to explore it as much as is appropriate for Dom's story. His gripping directing style is perfect for a ticking-bomb story, where we learn the rules, and then see the walls come down — and know exactly why everybody's screwed, and can't wait to see how they're gonna get out.
God, I fucking love The Matrix. Paprika's pretty good too.

German newspapers have had several stories on Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn. Here's another, again shakily translated using Google Translate. It is from Süddeutsche Zeitung:
Thai Royal Family
Peter Maffay gets a new neighbor: Thailand's billionaire and controversial royal heir Vajiralongkorn has bought a villa on Lake Starnberg leading to some surprise – including his outfit.
Von Christian Deussing und Martin Zips
The Thai Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn loves Bayern and seems to find Lake Starnberg particularly appealing. In the former fishing village of Tutzing the 63-year-old Prince bought the stately Grade II listed "Villa Stolberg" on the main road. High hedges keep the park-like property from prying eyes. This enchanting area is 5600 square meters, has mature trees and direct access to the lake with private dock.
According to reports, Vajiralongkorn is said to have paid a Tutzinger family twelve million euros for its new headquarters – his fortune is estimated at several billion euros. The villa is located in a good neighborhood of the homes of musicians Peter Maffay and Leslie Mandoki (Genghis Khan).
Three marriages, seven children
In the Kingdom of Thailand the assessment of the lifestyle of the Crown Prince (three marriages, seven children) is quite skeptical. The situation in the country, which saw the military coup of 22 May 2014 and has had martial law for some time, is affected by uncertainty about who his father King Bhumibol Adulyadej, 88 will have as a successor. Already in 1972 Vajiralongkorn had been designated as successor. However, more popular support is likely for his younger sister Sirindhorn, 61, who, a respected historian [sic.] who is involved in the country in numerous social projects. However, she has no children, which some interpret as a disadvantage for the throne. Public discussion is difficult as the lèse–majesté law provides for prison sentences of up to 15 years for criticism of the Thai royal family.
In Tutzing, its new "citizens" include his 32-year-old woman Suthida (a former stewardess), a little son and dog Foo Foo [sic.]. Tutzinger broker Andreas Botas remember a call from the Thai Embassy in Berlin. At that time it had been called, a "businessman" have interest in a large estate on the southeastern shore of Lake Starnberg.
The interested party – as it turned out, the crown prince – pulled up in a white Porsche. He was dressed in fashionable jeans with tears and was wearing a midriff-baring T-shirt and a black leather jacket, Botas recalls: "He was very pleasant and not at all pretentious." Accompanying him were 20 people in eight minibuses: bodyguards, employees, women. In the end, the crown prince had then opted for the waterfront land in the 9500-resident community Tutzing.
His wife Suthida so watched by the German media, recently lived in Munich. The crown prince himself had been repeatedly observed in Bayern "strawberry pickers" or "visiting garden centers".
Fireplaces, stoves and a library
The Villa Stolberg has a living area of 1400 square meters [sic.] and at least 15 rooms. In one 1994 advertisement it had fireplaces, stoves and a library for ambiance. The purchaser could make a country guesthouse, a private clinic, a museum or a beauty farm….
Now there is a scaffold in front of the house, which was built in 1926, with craftsmen at work inside. In front of the gate at the entrance is a Dixi toilet. The activities have not escaped even Tutzings Mayor Rudolf Krug. "I assume that the Prince ignored the conditions for the preservation," says Krug. The town hall boss is pleased with the prominent new residents in the municipality, which will however not financially benefit from it. "I do not think that his income is taxed by us," says Krug. In July 2011, the Crown Prince was a Boeing at Munich Airport once briefly been impounded 737 – for many millions of euros owed by Thailand a German company for the construction of a motorway.
The father of Vajiralongkorn, King Bhumibol had said in 2005: "If one says that the king can not be criticized, that would mean that the king is not human." This had as yet formulated any of his predecessors. Tutzings Mayor explained the influx of the crown prince anyway so that the reputation of his community have something of an "open-minded and tolerant" to Thailand. The acid test for the site but is still to come – should take his caravan on the main street of the Crown Prince for the first time. Perhaps on July 28? Then the prince's birthday.

Prisons Minister makes surprise prison visit
Prison's Minister Joe Francis says he has so little confidence in his own department that he turned up unannounced to inspect a jail for himself.
Joe Francis, a former naval officer, became Corrective Services Minister following the State election in March, and has been dealing with myriad problems since.
More than 100 teenage prisoners still languish in the adult Hakea prison following a riot that all but destroyed the state's only juvenile prison in January.
And a series of reports alleging a culture of bullying, inappropriate behaviour and connections between criminals and prison officers have also surfaced.
On Wednesday, Mr Francis revealed the Department of Corrective Services failed to inform him for more than a week that juveniles had damaged cells at Hakea Prison.
So on Saturday, he used little known powers under the State's Prisons Act to demand access to the facility to inspect the damage for himself.
Armed with a copy of the act, Mr Francis said he was asked to identify himself via his driver's licence before being let in.
"If I find out about something 10 days late that I should have been told about when it happened, expect me to be furious," Mr Francis told Fairfax radio.
"As I had little faith in the accuracy or timeliness of the information I had been given, I turned up unannounced and inspected the cells, and talked to the juveniles."
Mr Francis said he was determined to fix the culture of the department.
"There are too many people there who think they are living in the 1850 Swan River colony or have watched too many re-runs of Prisoner - they need to move on with their attitude," he said.
"There are some rotten eggs in there, and if they think the current way they have been going about business is appropriate they need to find another job today."

Date(s) - 10/11/2018
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Washington State China Relations Council
1301 5th Ave, Suite 1500
Seattle, WA 98101
Joining the WSCRC for this session of the Policy Briefing Series is Benjamin Shobert, author of Blaming China: It Might Feel Good But Won't Fix America's Economy. He leads strategy at Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence and Research's (AI&R) Healthcare NExT business unit. Prior to joining Microsoft, he was the founder and managing director of Rubicon Strategy Group, a strategy consulting service focused on market access, government affairs, and regulatory analysis work in China and across Southeast Asia. He remains a senior associate at the National Bureau of Asian Research, a Washington, DC, think tank. He is a regular columnist for Forbes and has appeared on CNBC Asia's Morning Squawk Box, CCTV, CNN, and ABC World News. His writing has been featured on CNBC and in China Business Review, Fortune Magazine (China), Harvard Asia Quarterly, Slate, Yale University's China Hands Magazine, and many other publications.
About the Book
American society is angrier, more fragmented, and more polarized than at any time since the Civil War. We harbor deep insecurities about our economic future, our place in the world, our response to terrorism, and our deeply dysfunctional government. Over the next several years, Benjamin Shobert says, these four insecurities will be perverted and projected onto China in an attempt to shift blame for errors entirely of our own making. These misdirections will be satisfying in the short term but will eventually destabilize the global world that businesses, consumers, and governments have taken for granted for the last forty years and will usher in an age of geopolitical uncertainty characterized by regional conflict and increasing economic dislocation.
Shobert, a senior associate at the National Bureau of Asian Research, explores how America's attitudes toward China have changed and how our economic anxieties and political dysfunction have laid the foundation for turning our collective frustrations away from acknowledging the consequences of our own poor decisions. Shobert argues that unless we address these problems, a disastrous chapter in American life is right around the corner, one in which Americans will decide that conflict with China is the only sensible option. After framing how the American public thinks about China, Shobert offers two alternative paths forward. He proposes steps that businesses, governments, and individuals can take to potentially stop and reverse America's path to a dystopian future.

Yield: Yields about 2 dozen cookies
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and baking soda to combine; then add to the mixer. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, just to combine. Scrape down the bowl and then mix on medium-low speed for another 30 seconds to mix the dough uniformly.
Gently roll the dough into 1-oz. balls (about 1 heaping Tbs. each). Roll the balls in sanding sugar (if using). Arrange at least 21/4 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time until the edges are golden and the tops are cracked but not completely set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Soft and chewy, as promised. Unfortunately, the taste is not as nice as the texture. I reduced the sugar by 2 tablespoons, and the cookies were still unpleasantly sweet. They also have an "unnatural" flavor (like a bad store-bought cookie) that I attribute to the corn syrup. If I make them again, I'll reduce the sugar by 4 tablespoons and try to find a substitute for the corn syrup (maybe agave syrup or honey?). They taste much better 48 hours after baking and they also taste better if they're baked longer than the recipe suggests. For best flavor, bake them to a light golden brown.
I have made these a few times, and they are absolutely delicious!!I prefer the chewy version, and not the crispy crunchy one. They're really easy to make. These cookies are great. I will continue making them!

Meditation is a medicine for the soul, it teaches us the language of the spirit, Archangel Gabriel
Meditation allows the mind an opportunity to be still, to enable clarity and clear direction to be seen or heard. It is a 'letting go' of all that which causes stress or disharmony, enabling us to cope with our increasingly busy lives. It allows the mind and body to become still and merge into peace.
The benefits are many, in the areas of Mind (e.g. relaxation), Body (e.g. blood pressure) and Spirit (e.g. happiness).
Classes are guided and tailored to suit all levels, are constantly evolving. No experience required!

Back on Wednesday (April 11), Selena attended the photocall For Sony Pictures' 'Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation' at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Selena looked so cute wearing Miu Miu. The gallery has now been updated with high quality photos from the event!
Welcome to Sincerely Selena, previously Selena Gomez Online. I thought I would give the site fresh new themes to implement the new site name and the change in owners. I have been a fan of Selena for more than 10 years. I'm so happy to have a site and I want to thank Vicki for letting me take it over.
Thank you to my friend Nicole for the gorgeous theme and gallery theme. There is still a lot to do in the gallery, but I hope to start adding more of Selena's past filmography in the upcoming months. Please follow our new twitter: @_selenagomeznet!

Social Work's MSW Program Nationally Recognized for Affordability
Monday, June 30, 2014
The University of North Carolina Wilmington School of Social Work, housed in the College of Health and Human Services, has been identified as having the second most affordable Master of Social Work (MSW) program in the country by the Social Work Degree Guide.
To create its Top 25 Most Affordable Master's in Social Work Programs list, the Social Work Degree Guide used U.S. News and World Report's Top 100 Graduate Social Work Degree Programs list and the average in-state graduate school tuition price for each of the top schools on the National Center for Education Statistics' College Navigator.
According to the Social Work Degree Guide, the need for social workers in areas such as military and veterans' facilities, aging services and healthcare is increasing. Earning an MSW degree is an excellent way to compete for more advanced leadership positions, achieve a higher salary, get promoted quickly after graduation and stay current on latest practices.
"The UNCW School of Social Work stands out as a reasonably priced program with specialized training in clinical social work practice from a strengths-based perspective," says professor Lori Messenger, who serves as director of the School of Social Work. "We offer both full-time and part-time MSW programs in Southeast North Carolina. This fall, we will begin the blended, part-time MSW program on the main campus and at the UNCW Onslow Extension site."

Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?
I. Chapter 7: Liquidation Bankruptcy
-What is a Chapter 7?
A Chapter 7 is a liquidation form of bankruptcy. If your income is above a certain amount, you may not qualify for a Chapter 7. It's a quick way to cancel the majority, if not all, of your debts. In a Chapter 7, a bankruptcy trustee is appointed to represent your creditors. His/her job is to take some of your property, sell it, and use the money to pay your creditors.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
- Creditors are prevented from collecting debts.
- Creditors cannot call, write, nor file lawsuits, garnishments, or foreclosures.
- Most of your debts are cancelled. There are certain debts that may not get cancelled (i.e. student loans, IRS and State taxes, and alimony and child support).
- You are unable to keep certain property.
- You must meet certain requirements in order to qualify for a Chapter 7.
- A portion of your income tax refund may have to be turned over to the trustee.
- The filing of your Bankruptcy may be published in the local newspaper (It is public information).
- You get a fresh start; you are not burdened by the old debts anymore.
- A Chapter 7 will be on your credit record for ten years.
What happens to my property in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
-Three things can happen to your property:
- The trustee may take it.
- The creditors may take it.
- You may be able to keep it.
-Generally, in a Chapter 7, you are allowed to keep
- Your house (if there is not more than $35,000 of equity in the home, and if you are current on the monthly mortgage payments),
- One vehicle (if there is not more than $7,500 of equity in the vehicle),
- Your clothes,
- Your 401K or retirement,
- Your equipment/tools to run your business, and
- Your furniture and household items.
II. Chapter 13: Personal Reorganization
A Chapter 13 is for people with regular income who do not qualify for a Chapter 7 or for individuals who want to keep all or most of their assets (including their home and vehicles). A Chapter 13 is flexible and may be adjusted to your needs. Many Chapter 7 bankruptcies have been filed when there was no need to; a Chapter 13 would have been better. When a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is filed, an automatic stay (like an injunction) occurs. This will block any creditor from taking any step to collect debts. Therefore, creditors cannot call, write, nor file lawsuits, garnishments, or foreclosures.
-What is a Chapter 13?
A Chapter 13 is like a debt consolidation, where one monthly payment is made. Chapter 13 is for individuals/couples with regular income who want to reorganize. A budget and a plan are made to pay creditors. The plan will cover a 3-year (minimum amount) to 5-year (maximum amount) period. Once your budget and plan are approved by the bankruptcy judge, a portion of your monthly income is given to a bankruptcy trustee who pays your creditors. Chapter 13 plans do not have to pay 100% of your debts. Your plan may pay all or a percent of your debts. The payment is based on the amount of assets that you own and that you want to keep, your living expenses, your monthly income, and the debts owed. If you can't pay 100% of the debts, you may only pay a percentage; the remaining unpaid balance is canceled.
What are the advantages of Chapter 13?
- Delinquent payments on your home can be made: Delinquent payments on your home must be made within a reasonable amount of time.
- All or most of your assets can be saved: You may keep certain assets (most household items, vehicles, and 401K retirements), if they are not mortgaged. Other items, which are mortgaged can be kept if you can continue to pay for them.
- Unwanted collateral (mortgaged property) can be given back to the creditor: Mortgaged assets (property put up as collateral for a debt), which you do not wish to keep or cannot afford may be given back to the creditor, who has a lien or a mortgage on that property.
- Co-signers and endorsers cannot be sued: Co-signers and endorsers are protected in Chapter 13. Upon the filing of the Chapter 13, they cannot be sued. This allows time to make a plan to pay those creditors. However, the endorsers and co-signers may have to pay a portion of the debt. If they refuse, a lawsuit may be filed against them.
- Consolidate payments without further borrowing: One (1) monthly payment is made to the Chapter 13 trustee. No further borrowing is needed. The trustee receives payment and pays creditors.
- Creditors are prevented from collecting debts: When a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is filed, the automatic stay (like an injunction) goes into effect. This stops creditors from taking any step to collect debts. Creditors cannot call, write, nor file lawsuits, garnishments, or foreclosures.
- Interest rates and monthly payments may be lowered on secured debts: When money is borrowed, a note and security agreement (mortgage) are signed. Under the terms of the note and mortgage, you agree to put up assets as collateral, pay a certain interest rate, and pay a monthly amount. A Chapter 13 may allow you to reduce the monthly payment, as well as the interest rate on these secured debts.
- Plan Payment time-lines: Payments can be flexible and can be made over a 3-year (minimum amount) to 5-year (maximum amount) period.
- No interest is paid on unsecured debts: No service charges, carrying charges, late charges, or interest are paid on unsecured debts in the Chapter 13 plan.
- Overdue taxes can be paid: Taxes are paid in the plan. Taxing authorities are prevented from seizing or garnishing things that you own.
What are the disadvantages of a Chapter 13?
- Predicting monthly income and monthly living expenses: It is difficult to predict monthly income and living expenses because of unemployment, cuts in salary, sickness, and unexpected expenses.
- There are certain debts that may not get cancelled, upon completion of your Chapter 13 plan. Examples are amounts still owed for student loans, taxes owed to the IRS and the State, and alimony/child support payments.
- The filing of your Bankruptcy may be published in the local newspaper (It is public information).
- You cannot borrow or use credit while in Chapter 13 without court approval.
- A Chapter 13 will be on your credit record for ten years.
- A wage assignment: The Chapter 13 trustee generally requires your employer to give a wage assignment for the plan payments to be sent directly to the trustee.
- You cannot modify the amount of your house note.
- You must turn over your Income Tax refunds for 3 years.
Life after Bankruptcy
Many people feel that when bankruptcy is filed, your life is over – you will never have credit or own anything again – you are basically finished! … NOT TRUE … One of the purposes of bankruptcy is to get a fresh start – to start life over! The difficult and painful bankruptcy is now behind you. And even though you've filed bankruptcy, you must continue to live and look toward the future. There are certain steps to take in order to repair the damage done by bankruptcy, but DO NOT roll over and die! You have a second chance at life – to start again – debt free! Make the most of it!

Two years after a pair of top biotech venture players brought struggling deCODE Genetics out of bankruptcy and reenergized its efforts to better understand the genetic triggers of disease, Amgen ($AMGN) has swooped in to buy the Icelandic company for $415 million, spurring some head scratching over the match.
Amgen's new CEO, Robert Bradway, said that bringing in deCODE will give the big biotech a state-of-the-art beachhead in the forefront of genetic research. Once a high flyer at a time when the genomic revolution promised to quickly revolutionize therapeutic development and produce a new generation of diagnostic products, deCODE enlisted the cooperation of more than 140,000 residents of Iceland, nearly half of the population, who shared a closely matched genetic profile that helped researchers pinpoint the causes of some mystifying diseases. Most recently it announced that its researchers--in collaboration with Genentech--had uncovered a prime genetic culprit behind Alzheimer's. And its research team has endeavored to do the same for dozens of other diseases.
But deCODE was forced into bankruptcy in 2009 due to a combination of factors. Investors were growing increasingly concerned that much of the hype about genetics had obscured the long road that would have to be traveled before any money-earning products could be produced. And the financial crisis froze some key players who could have helped the company, most notably Lehman's. The leaders at Polaris and Arch, though, believed in the future of the business model and took the company private, reportedly buying the assets for only $14 million.
"DeCODE Genetics has built a world-class capability in the study of the genetics of human disease," Bradway said in a press release. "This capability will enhance our efforts to identify and validate human disease targets. This fits perfectly with our objective to pursue rapid development of relevant molecules that reach the right disease targets while avoiding investments in programs based on less well-validated targets."
Fair enough, but the buyout also raises questions about just how good a match this can be. DeCODE's work in genetics extends to a variety of disease arenas that go far beyond the pipeline boundaries of even a big biotech company like Amgen. What happens to that work, and how can Amgen capitalize on it? Why not just contract out the work rather than buy the company?
In a blog posting, Polaris managing general partner Terry McGuire said the reason for the buyout is simple: "There is a great need by large biotechs and pharma companies to show true and more predictable innovation," he wrote. "And Amgen's leaders know that the future of healthcare is laid on the foundation of producing truly innovative medicines and technologies."
McGuire tells FierceBiotech this morning that the deal marks a "very exciting outcome, and not just financially." The pioneering genetics work that deCODE was involved in made a major contribution to all phases of medicine, he added. The company, now with about 130 staffers, was able to come up with new assets on target validation, diagnostics, and more. "I'm not surprised at all that someone as great as Amgen came along and said you could do lots of things with this."

Old India Taco Seasoning
From Cookipedia
I use my Tex-Mex Taco seasoning at least once a week so seem to get through lots of it! The last time I needed to make some, I did not have all of the ingredients so I thought I would try some of the ready-made alternatives. The Old El Paso product is very good, but ludicrously expensive in the small 25 gram packs so I looked for a quality alternative that I could buy in quantity.
Old India Taco Seasoning seems to fit the bill. It's £12.99 from Amazon for a 1kg pack, and usefully, it is packed the standard Amazon book-type flat package that means it can be popped through your letterbox if you're not around.
So far I've used it to make Beer can chicken, Tex-Mex potato wedges and on pork chops. I think its so good, I;ve started to use it as a condiment. It was also great last night on a potato salad!
It's not too hot, just nice and spicy with a nice texture and lots of separate flavours. Its's slightly sweet and fairly salty so you shouldn't need any extra salt when you use it.

How to arrive
From Ferrol
If we want to travel in launch, we can make it from the jetty of Curuxeiras in Ferrol. That which before it was a environment of trasnporte to regulate converted in a touristic transport. The launch has service in Semana Santa and since July until September, both included. The Mugardos Launch forms part already of the history and of the patrimony of the Mugardos Council. Consult current schedules during summer 2015.
If we travel by car from Ferrol, we drive towards A Coruña via the N-651 for 4kms, until we arrive to the intersection from Fene, where we turn towards Mugardos via the AC-133 (Carretera de La Palma). 5 kms ahead we reach the CP-3504 that passes through the core of O Seixo in direction to the town. 3 kms ahead, once leaving behind the industrial complex of Punta Promontorio, we arrive to the intersection with the AC-122, in the core of A Pedreira, from the AC-122, we are only 1 km away from the heart of Mugardos Villa.
If we travel by bus information about buslines and timetables are found on the web page Transporte Metropolitano de Galicia
From A Coruña
If we travel by car we take the Autopista do Atlantico(AP-9/E-1) in direction to Ferrol. We drive up until the last toll, at the point of Vilar do Colo, where we take the 25F exit that crosses the industrial estate and we direct ourselves to the freeway VG-1.2 and we will not abandon it until almost its end (exit 5). Once leaving the freeway we will find ourselves on the local road CP-3504 and we will maintain ourselves on it in direction to Mugardos up until the intersection AC-122 that ends 1km after the built-up area of the town.

NYC Bound: Running Barefoot in the City
Most people, you know, put on a pair of shoes in order to start running. Chris Hawson, though, needed to take his off.
Chris Hawson didn't run much in New York City until he took off his shoes. That was three years, and more than 9,000 miles, ago.
NYC Bound
⇢ A Triathlon in My Apartment
⇢ Hanging With the Fruitarians
⇢ The Slowest Man To Run Up the Empire State Building
⇢ ...
"You can blame Chris McDougall and Born to Run for that," he says while sipping hot chocolate in a coffee shop near the Union Square Paragon Sports where he works as an outerwear buyer. "It was inspirational to me. I didn't treat it as a technique manual, but it set me off on a path."
A health scare in 2009 prompted Hawson, now in his mid-50s, to start running a couple of times a week, but he found his IT bands, knees, and shins started to hurt, forcing him to resort to inline skating. Then Hawson, who spent a decade leading bike and ski trips in Northern Scotland, discovered Vibram FiveFingers and ran a few hundred miles during the summer and fall, mixing them in with a couple other pairs of more traditional shoes. But winter came, so he packed the FiveFingers away because of the cold. That plan didn't last long, however, and pretty soon he had ditched conventional shoes entirely.
"The following February my boss told me that his son was going to only run in FiveFingers. I thought, Hell, if he can do that, I can do that. By the first of April, I'd done my first barefoot run," he says. "Everything was wrong: I was on the beach. I did 11 miles. I did it the next day, too, and I felt fine because my legs had developed the strength in the preceding months to let me manage it. That summer a third of my running was barefoot. It took awhile to adapt, for the skin to get less aware or get thicker or whatever it does. The last two summers I've basically not worn shoes between sometime in May and the end of October. I've done a couple thousand miles each season."
Three years later, he runs either entirely barefoot, in VFFs, or in the Altra Adams he's wearing when we talk, and he hasn't missed a day due to injury. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that over the past two years he hasn't missed a month doing at least one barefoot run on the streets of New York. We met on a Monday—less than 10 days after Superstorm Nemo dropped 10 inches of snow on the city—and he had jogged home barefoot the previous Friday evening dodging the occasional pile of plowed snow. His barefoot mileage is down this winter, which has been quite cold, but he gets out when he can. Still, even he has his limits. "I have friends in Winnipeg and they will go running in -34. I'm not going to play that game."
WHEN HAWSON IS BAREFOOT, he gets strange looks running to and from work and his home on the Upper West Side—through Central Park and down Madison Avenue—but that's just fine with him. The reactions run the gamut. "Last spring, one girl went 'ew, ew, ew,' but half a mile later, there were four guys walking down toward me on Fifth Ave. and they thought it was cool," he says. "They wanted to know how far I was going."
The community of barefoot runners in New York is small—it peaked during the Born to Run craze and has tapered off since—but committed. There's a Meetup group that holds informal runs every week, and a handful of people turn out on summer nights. Interestingly, Hawson says it's mostly beginners. Occasional more prestigious without-shoe events draw larger crowds. It will always remain a niche subset, a very niche one, but it's not going away.
New York, of course, is not the cleanest place in the world, so I asked Hawson how he avoided dangerous detritus on the streets. "As I told my mother, I've taken my shoes off my feet but my eyes are still in my head," he says. "I've really had next to no issues. I had one piece of glass that slowed me down for a couple of days. I picked that up during a thunderstorm. I couldn't see anything because there were so many reflections. But otherwise, pretty much everything has either brushed off or been picked out in a few seconds. I think I counted 11 pieces by the end of my first 5,000 miles."
(Playing Devil's Advocate, that's still 11 pieces of glass in your foot.)
But the positives outweigh the negatives for Hawson. Barefoot running sounds a lot like traditional running, only with a forced focus on technique. "You have to pick your foot up and put it down," he says. "If you slide and scrape, you'll get blisters or worse."
For Hawson, the reasons to take off the kicks and place foot to pavement are simple: "It's fun. It's different. And it keeps me young."

Determining your all-time best Paystub Generator
There is no better way of winning an argument than when one has proof to support his or her side. There is need for there to be no confrontations between an employer and an employee. The best way they are able to do this is ensuring that they keep a record of all the monetary transactions between them. Keeping all the documents that show all that has been paid to the employee by an employer is the best way of doing this. The most important document that deals with payment information of an employee is the paycheck.
A paycheck is a comprehensive document that contains all the details that regard the earnings an employee has made. It will have two main parts; one which shows the amount an employee should expect at his account, and the other part shows the breakdown of his earnings to land the final figure on the check. The second part of the check which is also called a pay stub will have all the details touching on any deductions, bonuses as well as any other amount of money the employer might have withheld from the employee. In the times that have passed, as an employer, you had to make paystubs manually. This is different today as you will be able to get a paystub on the internet from a tub generator.
When using a stub generator, the first thing you need to ensure it provides you is the option to review your progress as you fill in the details. Some stub generators only allow you to get a preview of your work after you have filled in all the details. Such stub generators require you to buy a new one if any mistake has been made and thus they are not friendly. It is important that you get a stub generator which allows you to review your progress and make any alterations that would be necessary.
The accuracy of a payment stub is the second and very important thing that you need to scrutinize. In most of the stub generators we have today, you only need to fill in the key detail and the calculations will be done for you. The accuracy of a stub generator can be determined by considering the number of decimal places they make their calculations specific to. Payment stub generators that have calculations to at least two decimal places are good.
Finally, be sure to consider how much it costs you to generate the stubs for your workers. As an employer, you can decide to get the stubs that are charged per sheet you generate or those that charge a fixed amount for all the stubs you would like to generate. You have to make your choice based on the calculations you make of the total cost you will incur for the entire stub generation process.

Innova Dog Comfort® (IDC®) products from JULIUS-K9® stand for quality, safety and a modern design. Ideal for your dog, this robust IDC® Belt Harness is characterised by the adjustable straps around your dog's front chest. This development guarantees an ideal distribution of pulling forces focusing on the chest. Tension is therefore evenly distributed across your dog's chest and ribcage, rather than focusing on the neck.
Thanks to the fully adjustable chest and tummy belt, this high-quality dog harness can be perfectly adapted to your dog's individual shape. Regular tests guarantee the excellent quality of the heavy-duty buckle and highly stable clasp. Along with a metal ring for attaching the lead, there is a practical handle to allow you to lift or hold your dog back for a short time. Thanks to a Velcro pad, the handle of the IDC® Belt Harness can be easily attached, therefore preventing a free-running dog from getting stuck.
The harness is fitted with two exchangeable logo stickers as standard. The luminous JULIUS-K9® label reflects light and glows in the dark. You also have the option of attaching different Velcro stickers with fun labels and names for an individual and original look.
Fitted with the proven IDC® technology of the JULIUS-K9 IDC® Power Harness, this high-quality barebacked belt harness is lighter and less restrictive. It is the perfect alternative for use in warmer summer months due to its light weight.
The IDC® Belt Harness is ideal even to meet higher demands, such as group sporting activities, excursions into the wilderness or for professional use.
JULIUS-K9 IDC® Belt Harness – Black at a glance:

I wonder if an optically isolated USB connection would help.
I wonder if an optically isolated USB connection would help.
Regarding the bare copper wire in the DC flex hose, right now it exits the hose and attaches to metal ductwork with a sheet metal screw. You are saying that, instead, I should run that bare copper wire from the dust foot, where it exits the flex hose and is clamped to the dust shoe, through the inside of the flex hose, out the top of the flex hose, and then directly to the electrical system ground?
Also, I am not sure what/where my electrical system ground is. That driven rod is new -- added by an electrician I hired. And it doesn't connect to the electrical panel in any way.
One long wire is best - you can use the duct as an electrical conductor between flex hoses - but to keep it simple, just wrap a MIG wire around a rag and let the DC pull it through the hole deal. Throttle it by hand obviously & don't let it get sucked into the DC.
Attach the wire to the chassis of the DC - which *should* be connected to the electrical system ground. Unless you get zapped or your hair stands on end every time you go near/touch the DC while it is running in dry conditions - then it's probably grounded to the electrical system just fine. Just make sure your bare wire is screwed to the chassis properly.

"We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them"
Albert Einstein
Well, I think I fixed it, although I've learned not to celebrate too early. I will give it a week or so before I claim victory.
Today I systematically made a series of small changes to how the DC is grounded, each of which did not stop the stuttering/loss of position, until I removed the ground wire that runs from the DC to the driven rod and wrapped it around nearby electrical conduit instead. Now I am cutting without problems.
If that's the solution, it certainly tracks with anyone who said, "Don't have two competing grounds in your system!!!" It does not, however, explain why everything worked fine last winter once I added the driven rod and connected the DC directly to it. Oh well.
To summarize for the sake of anyone in the future who searches this thread:
In my particular case, I was able to consistently isolate the stuttering/loss of position to only when the dust collector was running, and even then only when I was actually making chips versus air cutting. So the hypothesis was that something was wrong with my DC grounding. I already had a bare copper wire clamped to the outside of dust shoe, running inside the flex hose until it exited at the gimbal joint where the flex hose connects to the metal ductwork. The inner wire of my flex hose connects to the bare copper wire where it exits the flex hose, and that bare copper wire is then attached to the ductwork with a sheet metal screw. My flex hose is also attached to a standoff of plywood and rigid foam that keeps the hose from contacting any part of the machine.
The change I made that works (at least for now): at the dust collector, there's a thick, bare stranded copper wire bolted to the frame that is attached to nearby electrical conduit that runs directly to the electrical panel (instead of being attached to a driven ground rod, which was likely creating a situation where I had two competing grounds).
Notably, the frame of my ShopBot has no ground wires at all.
I will report back if anything changes. Thank you all for the help!!!!
Back to work....
You should read Gary's PDF on grounding and follow those instructions. Not having the frame of your machine grounded is just asking for problems.

4hp Spindle
12" indexer
thanks for the report back even though I am sure you are very busy now.
Well, good thing I didn't celebrate yet. I have had some jobs cut without incident, but at this point I am back to a 100% failure rate if the DC is running, and a 100% success rate if it is not. If necessary I will run certain jobs with no DC. But I make a lot of trays, and a 1.25" diameter bowl bit taking 1/4" passes at 16000 rpm requires dust collection given the massive amount of chips.
I've done everything in Gary's PDF about static reduction in dust collection systems. So even though the problem only happens with the DC running, I guess either my DC grounding is incorrect or it's something else, like the CNC itself not being grounded directly to the panel. So I will hire an electrician to ground the ShopBot; and while he is at it, he can take a fresh look at my DC ground.
I am not at a full panic yet, but close....the work is mounting, and I can't get any of it done right now.
Just a final thought. How old is your DC? Could you have a motor failing causing electrical noise in the ground leg? Seems odd the only time you have trouble is when its turned on.
Life is like a project you continue to work on until it's finished.
Never start a project you don't intend to finish!
