Lantronix IntelliBox IO2100
IntelliBox-I/O 2100
External Device Server
Fully Automate Your Remote Equipment with Real-time Event Management and Reporting
IntelliBox-I/O 2100 is a breakthrough in truly automated control of remote equipment. Powered by Lantronix EventTrak technology, this highly-advanced, programmable device server connects your equipment to an IP network and monitors it to watch for events at specified intervals. When an event occurs, IntelliBox automatically sends pre-determined, user-defined command(s) to the equipment causing it to take appropriate and/or corrective actions without any user intervention. IntelliBox can send email notification that the event was detected and handled accordingly.
True Autonomous Control with EventTrak
IntelliBox proactively monitors and controls remote digital I/O, dry contact (relay) and RS232/422/485-based equipment. With built-in EventTrak technology, IntelliBox can be set to query an attached device at timed intervals then, depending on the results, take prespecified action(s). In addition to monitoring a serial line the IntelliBox can also monitor digital I/O. Fluid-level monitoring is a simple example if IntelliBox notices a digital float sensor drop to a low level, it can trigger a relay to start the fluid pump. When the level is restored the relay is triggered to stop the pump. IntelliBox sends an email to the user notifying them of the situation and the actions taken. Instead of reacting to an event or problem, users are proactively notified that an event occurred and the appropriate response automatically took place. This also enables users to control networked equipment directly through the serial or I/O port rather than depending on a PLC or SCADA server. In some instances, several events should occur before action is taken. EventTrak allows Chain Definitions (series of events/ actions) to be defined. They can be saved, stored and transferred from one IntelliBox to another, providing a great deal of flexibility for large-scale deployment.
IntelliBox is ideal for alarms, fluid pumps, motor drives, lights, fans, phone systems, access/control/alarm panels, HVAC equipment, PLC's, projectors, security cameras, proximity readers, card readers, etc.
Automated Reporting
IntelliBox consolidates the task of monitoring/reporting on multiple pieces of equipment. Rather than query and review the output of each device separately, users can configure the IntelliBox to query attached equipment at configurable intervals and gather the returned data. Incoming data can be sent via email or RSS feed, allowing hundreds of devices to be monitored from one RSS-enabled web page. Incoming data can be scanned for specific information. When it is detected, IntelliBox can send an email flagged as Important along with the data and take corrective action if needed.
Enterprise-grade Security and Data Center Standards
Equipped with the Lantronix Evolution OS Networking Operating System, IntelliBox delivers enterprise-grade level networking security with built-in SSH/SSL support. The hardened OS and mature protocol stack are resilient to denial of service (DoS) and port mapping attacks and prevent it from being used to bring down other networked devices. Evolution OS uses familiar data-center standards such as a Cisco-like command line interface (CLI) very similar to that used by routers and hubs, simplifying configuration and enterprise network integration. It also incorporates XML a standard tool for web services, data transfer and rich content management that encapsulates data into a text-based format.
Proactive Management for the Industrial Environment
Ideally suited for industrial applications, IntelliBox is equipped with isolated serial, I/O and Ethernet ports and screw terminal connectors for serial, I/O, relay and power. It supports Modbus TCP, Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU and is FM-approved for hazardous locations Class 1, Div. 2. IntelliBox also features 15kV serial port ESD protection which protects the IntelliBox from electrical overstress; ESD-protected I/O channels (independent and optically isolated); wide -4075C operational temperature range; and flexible power with 9-30 VDC and 9-24 VAC input range.
IntelliBox can act as a Modbus TCP slave, enabling Modbus TCP masters to monitor the status of digital inputs and set the digital outputs and relays. It can also be used as a Modbus bridge (Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU/ASCII protocol converter) enabling users to connect RS232/RS485 Modbus RTU/ASCII devices to their Ethernet network to be controlled by Modbus TCP masters (PLCs, OPC Servers, SCADA Software, etc).

When I first got my Z3, I used the boot cover regularly, but then over time I slowly started using it less and less. I had always considered it a purely cosmetic piece of equipment and eventually grew tired of the hassle of installing it.
When I traded in my Z3 to get an M roadster, I took the new boot cover out of the trunk and put it on the shelf where it pretty much stayed. The few times I used it left me frustrated at how hard it was to install. I'm not sure why the new one was harder to install than the old one. I kept trying to convince myself, "maybe if I use it more, the boot cover will get broken in and be easier to install."
Despite my repeated attempts, the boot cover would eventually find its way back onto the shelf for another extended stay. I had become spoiled with the power top, and found the boot to only lesson its usefulness. I had also become lazy and just plain fed up with the hassle of installing the boot cover.
The boot cover made a comeback when I started using the roadster tonneau cover. The tonneau cover required the boot cover be installed to function, but it also enabled me to keep the boot cover on for extended periods of time. The two products proved to be a great combination when the weather allowed for extended top-down periods. But the tonneau isn't a year-round product, and eventually the boot cover found its way back onto the shelf for another extended stay.
Then I installed a light gray interior liner to the convertible top. It didn't take me long to realize that light gray doesn't look very good dirty. Without the boot cover, the liner was picking up a lot of dirt and dust when the top was down. So now I've got two accessories somewhat dependent on the BMW boot cover. So I find myself once again saying, "maybe if I use it more, the boot cover will get broken in and be easier to install." I still hold some hope in that theory, however this time I'm going to make things a little easier on myself.
I remembered an additional paragraph tacked onto the end of the original BMW windscreen instructions that said to install some washers to make the boot easier to use with that windscreen. BMW doesn't even make that windscreen anymore, but I managed to find my old copy of those instructions and figured I would share an old idea (slightly modified) to those that were not Z3 owners back in 1996 when the first windscreen was introduced. The official name for this "knob thingy" is a Tenax fastener. There are two of them screwed into the back of the storage area that the boot cover snaps onto. The theory behind the fix is that if these fasteners were sticking out a little farther, the boot cover would be easier to install since you were not having to stretch it as much.
Once you locate these two Tenax fasteners, you can unscrew them with a standard 11/32 open ended wrench. The screws are longer than you would think they should be, but this extra length is about to work to our advantage.
The original BMW instructions had you using standard everyday washers. However, on the suggestion of an MZ3.Net reader I went to the hardware store and found some black rubber faucet washers. Looking at the different sizes I determined that the "00 Flat Washers" appeared to be just what I was looking for. I used one of them on each side rather than a stack of regular washers.
With the rubber washers installed behind the Tenax screws, the fastener portion of the snap now sticks out an extra 1/8 inch. That small difference makes the boot cover a little easier to install. However, even with this addition, I still consider the boot cover a pain to put on. But this upgrade cost me under a dollar, so I'll take any help I can get and I'll keep telling myself, "maybe if I use it more, the boot cover will get broken in and be easier to install."

In Pretty in Pink, Harry Dean Stanton portrays the on-screen, drunken, unemployed father of Molly Ringwald's character, Andie Walsh. In spite of the loss of her mother sometime before the film begins, Andie (Ringwald) somehow is able to cobble together a second hand dress and get the rich guy, Blane, played by Andrew McCarthy. Similar portrayals of single fathers can be seen in other films like Runaway Bride. Paul Dooley's character may be the reason Julia Roberts's character, Maggie Carpenter, has commitment issues. In Must Love Dogs, a shiftless Dermot Mulroney manipulates his way into Diane Lane's bed. (I can think of worse reasons to employ Machiavellian devices to get close to Diane Lane, but I digress.)
This all got me to thinking, what are the best stories and portrayals of single dads? Here is my list of the Top Ten Films about Single Dads:
Overboard – After Goldie Hawn falls off her yacht and loses her memory, a playfully vengeful Kurt Russell convinces her that she's his wife and enlists her to keep a home for him and his four boys. The story would be a little creepy if it weren't a comedy, and besides, who wouldn't have wanted Goldie Hawn as a pretend wife?
3 Men and a Baby – Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg were metrosexuals before the word existed. One fathers a child, who is delivered via basket outside their luxury apartment door, and all three become dads.
We Bought A Zoo – Matt Damon's portrayal of a single father is eerily close to reality in this somewhat embellished "based on a true story" story. "You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage."
The Pursuit of Happyness – Jaden Smith plays the son of his real life father's character, Chris Gardner, in a story about the lengths to which a father will go to provide a life and future for his child. This very touching film is also based on a true story.
Finding Nemo – A computer animated film about an overprotective clown fish whose son, Nemo, is lost at sea a captured by dentist. (What could be worse?) Nemo loses his mother when a barracuda attacks the nursery. There is a great deal of metaphor in this one.
Signs – A man-of-the-cloth who loses his wife (and his faith) after a freak automobile accident. Mel Gibson's character protects his children, his brother, and his home during an alien attack.
There Will Be Blood – Daniel Day-Lewis is incredible as self-made oil man, Daniel Plainview, in this film adaptation of the Upton Sinclair novel. "If I have a milkshake, and you have a milkshake . . ."
To Kill A Mockingbird – Harper Lee's novel is better than the film in which Gregory Peck portrays Atticus Finch, one of the most important and influential characters in literary and film history. More than once I've asked myself in the context of single fatherhood, "What would Atticus do?"
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – Based on the novel by Ian Fleming, yes, the Ian Fleming who created James Bond, and a screenplay by Roald Dahl, yes, the Roald Dahl who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang features Dick Van Dyke as the scatter-brained, Caractacus Potts, Salley Ann Howes as Truly Scrumptious (I'll bet she was), and a really cool car that I wanted my own dad to build.
Unforgiven – Clint Eastwood wrote, directed, and starred in the story of a former hired gun whose wife passed away and left him with two young children and a pig farm. To provide a future for his kids, William Munny (Eastwood) joins his old friend, Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman), and "The Schofield Kid" (Jaimz Woolvett) to avenge the attack on a prostitute (back when prostitution was a respected career choice) in a town called Big Whiskey.
So, the next time you see a movie in which a single dad is portrayed as an unemployed alcoholic or a shallow womanizer, don't think twice about it. You can join Daniel Plainview, Will Munny, and me when we go over and have a talk with the writer of the screenplay. I just hope Atticus Finch is there and cooler heads prevail.

Has anyone else noticed the incredibly awesome QSK performance of the 7000DLE, as reported in Adam Farson's test report? http://www.ab4oj.com/sdr/apache/anan7000dle_notes.pdf
See the CW QSK recovery test starting on page 29.
On page 30, he shows the ability to recover receiver audio between dits running at 60 wpm. The scope photo of the audio shows what looks like textbook-perfect ideal QSK. He also says the 7000DLE "is free of loud T/R relay sounds when keying" (page 34). He tested with regular protocol 1 firmware and regular PowerSDR version 3.4.9.
My 200D can't even approach these results. I've tested it, and I can just barely hear a tiny bit of receive audio recovery at a speed of about 12 wpm. And I could not say my 200D is free of loud T/R relay sounds when keying.
Can someone with a 7000DLE please confirm or deny these unbelievable results?

Re: 7000DLE perfect QSK?
I noticed this too and am quite interested in knowing whether the 7000 is QSK-ready? I don't have a schematic to compare with my 8000, which is decidedly not QSK-ready. Although it could be made so, which is why I'm interested.

Re: 7000DLE perfect QSK?
I've purchased 2 SPDT vacuum relays with the plan to replace the antenna relays on ANT1 and 3 ... I'm going to also modify ANT3 so that the armature is reversed and the RX antenna coming in (which is what i'm going to dedicate it to) isn't going to go to ground (and blow the RX preamp transistor) ... with a series 200 ohm resistor ala Yaesu... hopefully both quieting it down overall and eliminating the not so bright way it was designed. I'll post results when done. I've had them for a couple of months now - hopefully get to it soon.
I was the one that asked for (and we now have) the "RX ANT" button on the top panel as well as the ANT tab lock out for TX on ANT2 and ANT3 ... so I'll set ANT3 to "NO TX". My thanks to the developers for including that... I believe that was all Doug.

Re: 7000DLE perfect QSK?
It's been almost three months since I started this thread. Since May, probably quite a few 7000DLE units are in the hands of new owners. Perhaps some of the new owners are CW aficionados, so maybe someone has tried it on QSK. See my post at the top. Take a look at the image on page 30 of VA7OJ's report. It shows seamless, textbook perfect QSK. According to that picture, one should be able to hear the receiver during most of the 20ms gap between transmitted CW elements at 60 wpm. Not only that, but the rx>tx and tx>rx transitions are also perfect, with no clicks, pops, or receiver recovery problems.
Can anyone who has tried QSK on her or his 7000DLE comment?

How to Make Puerh Tea, Gong Fu Style
What is Gongfu Style Brewing?
Gong fu style means brewing tea with skill. Rather than focus on the history or specifics of the ceremonial aspects of Gong fu style tea brewing, this article contains practical guidelines about how to brew in a similar style at home by using step-by-step instructions. For those interested in more detailed background information, wikipedia to the rescue!
What are the Necessary Tools?
The following teaware and tools will make the gong fu brewing experience rich and rewarding. Should this list look too daunting, check out our article on easy tea brewing (only 3 items required!):
- Gongbei [shared pitcher]
- Teatray
- Gaiwan [lidded bowl] or a small teapot, 100ml-200ml is preferable
- Tea needle, used to break apart pressed puerh tea
- Tea
- Cup(s)
- A small towel
- Scale (pictured below)
- Boiling water (pictured below)
- Filter (pictured below
Step 1. Prepare Your Tea and Water
First, begin boiling your water. By the time you are finished with breaking apart your tea, the water will be ready.
Most puerh teas are pressed into forms such as cakes or bricks. If your tea is loose, skip to weighing. If your teas is pressed, take your tea needle or tea knife and find a place on the side to gently work the tip into the side. Take caution to aim the tip away from your hands. This will protect you in case your hand slips.
After breaking off a chunk of tea, place the tea on your scale and measure the desirable amount for your brewing vessel. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 gram of tea for each 15 milliliters of water the vessel can hold. Our gaiwan is 120 mL. We decided that we wanted a stronger brew, so we added a gram to the 8 gram suggestion and used 9 grams of tea. (120 grams / 15 mL = 8 grams + 1 gram for a stronger brew). If you desire a lighter brew, you could also subtract a gram or two. We encourage new puer drinkers to take notes on their sessions to help them determine their own preferences.
The chunk of tea is still very tightly compressed. A rock of tea like this will take a very long time to open up when brewing. In order to allow for a more even steeping experience, we picked the tea apart further. By wedging the needle in to the side of the piece of tea we are able to flake off more tea and increase the surface area. The increased surface area will allow for more even brewing and allow the tea to open up more quickly.
Step 2. Warming your Teaware
Take your boiling water and pour a rinse over your gaiwan, cups, and gongbei. This rinse will both clean your teaware and raise the temperature of the vessels. Especially during winter months in colder climates, cold teaware can drastically affect the temperature of the water and tea. Remember, the water will be passed between all three vessels before it arrives at your mouth. If all three vessels are cold, it could drop the temperature from 100°C to 80°C very quickly.
Step 3. Rinse the Tea
Use the boiling water to rinse the puerh tea. Puerh tea is often aged and a rinse will help to remove any undesirable dust, as well as awaken the tea from its slumber. After pouring the water out of your gaiwan, take this opportunity to smell the lid. The lid and leaves will begin to release their fragrances. After each steep, the fragrance should evolve and give you insight into the tea and deepen the experience. The rinse water can be poured into the gongbei and cups. Afterwards, pour the rinse water out over the tea tray. After the cups or gongbei have returned to a temperature that is comfortable to rest on the back on your hand, take a long smell from either the cup or gongbei; this fragrance will be different from the gaiwan lid, but should be equally pleasant.
Step 4. Start Steeping
Your water is boiling. Your tea is rinsed. Place your filter in your gongbei and you are ready to brew!
The first steep in Gongfu style brewing is a fast pour on and pour off affair. The tea is not yet wide open, so steeping for 5 seconds is fine. Pour the water on and pour it off. For future steeps, continue to increase the steep time by about 5 seconds or so each steep. This is not an exact science. Different teas have different compression and open up at different paces. If the tea is too strong, either remove some leaf or decrease the steep time. If the tea is too weak, increase the steep time or if the tea really needs a boost, add more leaf.
Step 5. Drink. Slowly.
In Gongfu style brewing take time with each steep. Drink this steep. Smell the gaiwan or teapot lid. What fragrances are present? Smell the gongbei. What sort of feeling do these smells conjure up? Smell the soup. Slurp the tea to oxygenate it and cool it down. Feel the tea in your mouth. Feel your throat. What sensations are you becoming aware of? Notice the aftertaste. Is it sweet? Is it pleasant? Smell your cup. But most importantly: Take. Your. Time.
Take a deep breath. Enjoy. And repeat steps 4 and 5 until you feel at one with everything (or until your tea becomes weak).

The Jakarta Post
Most public transportation companies are almost certain to increase fares to keep pace with fuel prices, a railway company has unilaterally decided to lower fares, despite the extra cost.
Electric train operator PT KAI Commuter Jabodetabek (KCJ) has announced new lower fares and a new multi-trip electronic ticketing scheme that will be effective as of Monday.
Commuter fares will decrease from Rp 3,000 (30 US cents) for the first five stations and Rp 1,000 for the next three stations to Rp 2,000 for the first five stations and Rp 500 for every three additional stations consecutively.
The new fares are thanks to funds from the central government.
'KCJ got Rp 200 billion for one year,' KCJ president director Tri Handoyo announced.
The company expects the number of passengers to increase by 10 percent with the cheaper fares.
Besides cheaper fares, KCJ launched multitrip e-tickets, called Commuter Electronic Ticketing (Commet).
Commet cards are used in the same way as the single trip cards introduced in April.
Commuter line passengers only have to tap the cards at the gates to enter and exit the platforms.
Card holders can use them for any destination around Greater Jakarta until the credit runs out.
The cards can be topped up with credit ranging from Rp 5,000 to Rp 1,000,000 in all stations in Greater Jakarta.
'The credit will be automatically be deducted when the passengers tap out at the destination,' he said.
The company began selling the cards priced at Rp 33,000 ' Rp 20,000 for the card and Rp 13,000 of credit ' at all stations since Monday and 5,000 cards have already been sold.
The cards are fully transferable and can be used by anyone.
Credit is refundable.
There are 200,000 of the cards ready to anticipate high demand next Monday.
From that day, paper tickets will no longer valid for the commuter journeys.
The new system will be beneficial for commuters because there will be no more waiting in line for tickets. Passengers can just walk straight onto the platforms.
Commet cards right now can only be used at stations in Greater Jakarta.
KCJ has plans to cooperate with banks and other public transportation systems, including Transjakarta buses, to create an integrated card system.
Governor Joko 'Jokowi' 'Widodo said on Wednesday that he had canceled the expected increase in Transjakarta fares.
Only a day before he had announced that Transjakarta fares would be raised to Rp 5,000 from the current price of Rp 3,500.
'After recalculation, I decide to cancel the increase of Transjakarta fares, but we will propose increases in the fares of other economy-class public transportation to the Jakarta Legislative Council,' he said.
Jakarta Transportation Agency head Udar Pristono said that the city planned to increase the fare only after expanding the Transjakarta fleet later this year.

We may need to change the wording on the Statue of Liberty to read, "Bring me your invasive species and weird news stories." We seem to have more than our share of both. The first story concerns an invasion of air potatoes. No, this is not a story about making hideous sounds with your hand and armpit when you were either in junior high school or attending a redneck wedding. Air potatoes are plants, and like millions of senior adults, have taken up residence in Florida. they choke the life out of everything around them . . . uh . . . the air potatoes, not the senior adults. The damage done by senior adults is mostly confined to local cafeterias. Because nothing survives around it the air potato plant is one of the most damaging invasions in Forida, behind kudzu and tourists wearing tank tops and ugly shorts with white socks and loafers.
For this next story, hide your eyes if you are a Baptist. It concerns wine. According to the American Council on Science and Health, stink bugs have invaded wine country and at least parts of them could end up in your wine. If I were a wine drinker that would be concern. Evidently they like grapes. When stink bugs are under pressure, like maybe the threat of being smashed by a wine press, they release an odor -- very similar to a lawyer in a courtroom. Wine tasting events could take on a whole new meaning. So you who are not Baptists, if you are having dinner with James Bond order the '55 Dom Perignon. Whatever you do, don't ask for the '17 Stink Bug Cabernet.
On the bizarre news story front twenty-six cheerleaders tried to cram themselves into an elevator. Their elevator, literally, didn't go all the way to the top. They got stuck and had to be rescued after thirty minutes of close personal time. None were injured but the elevator was last seen running down the street holding its ears and screaming, "Please, no more cheers!"
These three stories do have a common theme. The air potato plant was keeping the plant life around it from surviving. The stink bug was keeping the wine from being the best it could be. The cheerleaders were keeping the elevator from functioning properly. What is keeping you from doing what you know you should be doing? Our church is down a few staff members for a while. We're down to me, Jason, and Michael Lamb who has a full-time job as a schoolteacher, works with our youth and tries to be a husband and father the rest of the time. We can handle it but we need your help and prayers.
Is there something preventing you from getting involved in the life of our church? We have an awesome congregation. Just because we are without a pastor doesn't mean we can no longer function. God still has a plan for us but it will take each one of us. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 12:27 that "Now, you are the body of Christ and each one of you is a part of it." It cannot be business as usual. We cannot settle for letting a few people do most of the work. We need everyone doing his and her part.
Set your priorities. Put God at the top and fill in underneath with everything else. Get rid of the air potato that is choking the life out of you. Don't let the stink bugs get into your wine and don't overload your elevator. With God's guidance we can get it done. Like that elevator we may be slow but we do our best work when we go all the way to the Top.

I'm going to run for president so that I can philosophize on Austrian economics, preach liberaltarianism all while raising my national profile, take my father's supporters money and never intend to win. Remember the book by Obama? Dreams From My Father? The nonexistent record. The questionable associations. The radical mentors.What is his father's dream? Can he disconnect with his father's radical beliefs? Folks, with only a few exceptions made, we can ask the same questions about Rand Paul as we did about Obama.

Payment Card Industry (PCI DSS) Compliance | Requirement 1.1.2
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) compliance for PCI DSS requirement 1.1.2 calls for "Current network diagram with all connections to cardholder data, including any wireless networks" Thus, testing for validating 1.1.2 requires verification "that a current network diagram (for example, one that shows cardholder data flows over the network) exists and that it documents all connections to cardholder data, including any wireless networks."
Okay, once again here, the key phrase is "current network diagrams". What does this essentially mean? It means having a subject matter expert within your I.T. department developing a current network diagram and topology documents showing all critical connection points along with a visual of all critical hardware and network components that make up the network topology. More importantly, these diagrams and network topology documents should be current and updated on a quarterly basis to reflect overall changes in the network layout of the organization. Keep in mind that these documents will also be valuable for other regulatory compliance mandates, such as a SAS 70 Type II audit, which many merchants and service providers have to have at some point in their business lifecycle.
And though the requirement for PCI DSS 1.1.2 calls for these network diagrams for only "connections to cardholder data" its a very good and wise idea to draw and map out your organization's entire network topology. Why? Because it just makes good business sense and again, it helps with other regulatory compliance mandates that your organization may have to endure.

We know Surfacedesign's proposal to outfit the area behind the Ferry Building with tree planters, floating gardens, and mobile kiosks was purely speculative — but it was a response to the real problem of Ferry Plaza's bleak reality.
The Port's not sitting on their hands, though. In a plan to create an "exclusive pedestrian area," the Port's making the arguably counterintuitive move of bringing in 65 car parking spots for the Ferry Building's backyard.
The parking spots, which would stay there for up to six years, would fund the project, which is forecast to cost $879,000.
And then, after shaking hands with the devil, the Ferry Building will be able to more clearly demarcate loading and traffic areas, while stretching the current pedestrian promenade behind the building southward and making "one of the great urban places in San Francisco."
Commence waterfront makeout.

I went to Chile in July 2016, and going to South America was the best decision of my life. That vibrant continent added an additional layer to my personality. It was like discovering rosemary suddenly.
I learned so much in those nine months that I would not have in many years in my home country India.
I started speaking a new language — Spanish, made friends from all over the world, taught English, lived with complete strangers from different continents, ended up loving them, experienced the Latin American culture closely, traveled to places that I had no idea existed, and met people who continue to love me.
The Spanish accent in Orange is the New Black was the initial pull but there is a difference between the fictional world and the real one. In fiction, everything looks glamorous. In reality, it is not.
Except that it was.
South America gave me a new energy and a new outlook.
I did not know all of this when I left. Then why did I leave?
Also Read: Why Do I Travel and Live a Nomadic Life
When I worked for an investment bank, throughout the day I used to count the number of hours I had spent there that day. I used to rush back home to do everything that I had been missing all day long.
I was not only unfair to myself but also to my colleagues and my work. Not because I was not doing the job — that was never an issue— but because I never wanted to put an extra effort.
I was there but all I could look forward to was leaving.
Stoics — Marcus Aurelius and Seneca rightly said that your job is to give your best, to do what is asked of you in each moment.
In that job, I was not able to give my best in most of the moments. I was disappointed and that disappointment had persisted for years.
I wanted to see the world. I wanted something fresh.
Then I thought — why not?
A few months ago, I had got to know that my friends were going to South America for a teaching program. Applying to that program seemed like the right thing.
You are 30 years old, still single, paying a home loan, your parents call every day to talk about marriage, you have a stable and a well-paying job, colleagues who depend on you, friends who are getting married, a rented 1 BHK that you got fully furnished, a car, and more.
Also Read: Indian Marriage Conundrum – How I Hold My Ground as an Unmarried 30–Year–Old Woman.
How could you leave this complete ensemble to go somewhere completely unknown?
I had to answer family and friends. What about the approaching 30, shallowing eggs, and a fat cheque that I had decided to ignore? For something as temporary as a volunteer-ship program to teach English in South America, an unknown world. Apart from a few duo lingo words, I didn't know Spanish.
The question was — What if I was making the biggest mistake by leaving everything that I knew for something I had no clue of?
I just needed a thumbs up from someone, from anyone.
Instead, my parents were furious, dramatic, and disappointed. They were scared and the least supportive: by supporting me they must not have wanted to encourage me in this craziness that I was pushing for.
I took a leap of faith. I booked a one-way ticket to South America when I hadn't even applied for a visa.

What was going on during the time when I had decided to leave and when I left?
My parents called in for groom bio-data in the matrimonial section of a newspaper. I half-heartedly said yes to some of the biodatas. I even took a paid subscription to a wedding website after a series of frustrated phone calls back home. Ridiculous, eh?
But I think we all knew it was not going to work out. No matter how many times the family astrologer said that I would get married that year.
Account expired, I de-registered. Emails from the newspaper stopped coming.
I was furious at my family for pushing me so hard. I was nervous and angry and sad — for wanting to do what I think was right for me.
There was this knot of anxiety in my stomach for unknown reasons.
Now I know — it was the fear of unknown.
But would I go back and settle for this instability all over again?
When you are taking scary decisions — ask yourself — what is the worst that could happen?
This question answered many of my questions.
Professional and personal decisions could become as complex as you make them. But they could be as simple as deciding dinner and breakfast. Don't force anything. Do what comes naturally to you.
In India, we become engineers and doctors (an article on career conundrum in India is due) and then decide what we want to do. People around us design our lives and we implement. Then in the middle of the implementation, we realize that the design does not fit us.
My design was also an ill fit. So I had to redesign and start the implementation all over again, which could be intimidating.
Remember what Benjamin Franklin said, "Look round the habitable world, how few know their own good, or, knowing it, pursue."

Others — even your parents — might not know the best for you.
Life is not about making your parents or anyone else happy. It is about doing what seems right. Because then you are peaceful and can make others happy. A cliche but true.
Trying a new road could take us anywhere but how would you know until you take that diversion?
And if you do take it, your horse cart wheel might get stuck in the mud when you are alone, and you are the one who has to push it out.
Such is life — some stuck wheels and some smooth breezy downhills.
The world beyond your own is challenging, intimidating, and unknown. But if you could set up one life, you could set up many more.
Have you been asking yourself the following:
What is it that I want out of life?
What kind of learning opportunities am I looking for?
Does what I do currently suits me?
If you feel that what you do does not add any meaning to your life except giving you money and you feel hopeless — you can change that.
Also Read: What is the Meaning of Life
Be open to the idea that something else could be better. No matter how many changes it involves. Starting over could be the answer.
Don't run away from life, don't go to the Himalayas to find yourself. You would have to come back. Find yourself here in your work, with your friends, and family.
Fix meetings with yourself. Get your priorities straight. Stay honest with yourself. Otherwise, it would cost you later.
If you like expensive products please do not resign or look forward to freelancing.
Everyone's reasons are different. I was miserable. I thought that I was made for something else. That's why I left. I had prepared myself to leave — mentally, financially, and logistically.
You might have to break a few hearts and maybe yours along with them — be prepared.
Maybe, you have your reasons and preparation. Then what is stopping you?
The numbers that society keep throwing at us? Age of marrying, bearing babies, buying a house, a car, having a stable job, becoming a manager, going out for drinks, staying up till five — everything is defined by numbers.
Aren't these numbers and the concept of right age a heavy generalization for such a vast population?
Physical and emotional characteristics, eating habits, priorities, family, geography, friends, and many other features make us such complex creatures that no generalization could work. We are human and not the access machine on the door of a defense building — only accessible by numbers.
Do not be restricted by numbers or concentrate excessively on them. Pick your own.
You are still doubtful. You always have two options,
- You can either listen to others and do what they think is right — which could be right.
- You can listen and still do what you want to do — and figure out if you were right.
If we had kept following what has been told to us — then there would have been no evolution or discoveries or innovation.
Elon Musk should forget about Mars then.
Don't change your job or country or travel because everyone is suggesting so.
But also, don't follow the design document because it is there.
Find your own way to that calm which comes when you are doing something which suits you and eases you. You were meant for it, you feel settled, and want to continue.
Don't be miserable for too long — shake off the fear.
We are not getting out of here alive. And if you are immortal — you would have enough time to fix every damn thing you do.
It is tough to believe in yourself when no one else does. Don't lose heart in those scary and hopeless moments.
Remember Marcus Aurelius said, "Life is an opinion."

The mad Dutch drummer. I'd seen him some years before, and he was clearly nuts – playing a collapsing drum kit with alternating feet (replete with army boots) on the snare drum, and sometimes a drum kit made of cheese. The first part of the Vortex gig had Bennink team up on snare drum with Terry Day in a drum duet. This was fun, if unspectacular. The second set was a different ball game entirely. This was the Bennick Trio, with Simon Toldam on piano and Joachim Badenhorst on winds. Bennick played 'just' snare drum, although this does no justice to the man's incredible array of skill, ideas, and dynamics – he achieved extremes of loud and quiet that I'd thought impossible. For a while he played with green garden sticks – pointing them elfishly at the audience and grinning insanely; he played swing time, no time, frenetically, peacefully, with absolute abandon and complete control. He played the venue's walls, tables, chairs, and his own mouth. The trio were energetic and noisy as hell – there was no escaping their rage. But the last tune was a distillation of beauty, purveying a purity and intensity that left us all stunned.

For Release in North America: May 2017
Release Number: 241PR17
Caterpillar is expanding the Cat® RP Series portable generators line with the introduction of the RP12000 E. The new generator fills out the top of the series, delivering 12kW of running power and new features to meet the specific needs of the "pro-sumer" – emergency home back-up, DIY enthusiasts and contractors.
The RP Series initially launched in North America in September 2016 with four standard models, ranging from 3.6 to 7.5 kW. The series is the first prime product designed, engineered and supported by Caterpillar specifically for consumers. The generators are now available in the US and Canada via over 550 Cat Home & Outdoor Power sales locations, which include regional and local retailers, traditional Cat dealers and online retailers (currently Electric Generators Direct and Amazon).
Like the other products in the series, the RP12000 E was designed by Caterpillar engineering teams based in Illinois and the United Kingdom. The team focused on delivering the key design elements customers value most – power output and quality, ease of use, run-time, low noise, overall value and durability – in addition to a collection of premium features to set it apart from other generators in its class.
Long Lasting Power
The RP12000 E has a new, larger frame to house a larger, powerful 670cc V-Twin engine. The engine has a fully pressurized oil system and delivers up to 15kW of surge power, making it suitable for powering more equipment and heavy loads. The all-copper generator delivers a clean power with less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion, which is suitable for sensitive electronics and tools. Engineers also included a low-idle mode option, which optimizes fuel consumption and noise levels and reduces engine wear. With runtimes over 11 hours (at 50% load), customers will be able to work an entire day without needing to refuel.
In addition to the low idle mode, engineers designed a custom muffler and positioned the extra-large steel fuel tank on top of the engine (versus the side like most competitive models) to further minimize noise levels. The design also prevents damage from vibration.
Ease of Use
Like other models in the series, the RP12000 E was designed for simple, safe, fuss-free operation. It includes a lighted, single side-operators station, enabling the user to start and operate the generator without having to walk around or move it. The panel houses 9 receptacles including a 50A 240V outlet, which is unique to this model and required for many heavy-duty tools. The RP12000 E also includes a removable lifting eye and handle, and is designed with a balanced center of gravity, which test users noted makes it surprisingly easy to push and pull around. The whole unit is deftly packed into a compact, visually appealing frame – easy to store and a show piece on any showroom floor.
The RP 12000 E is constructed of solid 35mm steel tubing, which is treated and coated to prevent corrosion and rust. The large metal wheels include integrated bearings for long life and high-quality solid rubber tires. The RP12000 E comes with a 2-year warranty (extended to 3 years when the product is registered), which includes parts and service for the entire warranty term, and all RP Series products are backed by Caterpillar's 24/7 customer support.
Caterpillar continues to expand its Home & Outdoor Power distribution channels and product portfolio and anticipates additional product launches in 2017. For more information on the RP Series, including where to buy, visit: http://www.cat.com/homeandoutdoorpower, http://www.cat.com/12kw.

Have fun with your bangs. If you have bangs, attempt pinning them to one side. (You may have to add gel or light hair spray initial.) Or apply gel and let your bangs drop in pieces over your forehead. It lightens your seem and ups the flirt issue. Go natural. Short African-American hair that hasn't been straightened is wonderful for summer styling. "You can braid hair, lot it in sure places, coil it, pin it, and texturize it." "I love pinning short, natural hair with lots of small, attractive hair accessories." The style can be good-humore or glamorous, depending on the pieces you select.
Endeavor a very short ponytail. It's sexy; it's athletic; it's feminine; it's amuse.Use a covered expandable or a clip, and if your hair is very broad, apply hair spray or gel to assist safe it. You can make the manner even more fun by using baby claw clips or barrettes instead of regular barrettes to hold hair up on the sides. One trick: Your short hair will grasp better if it's not squeaky clean. (There will also be fewer fly a techniques.)
Get highlights. Highlights seem actually chic and attractive on short hairstyles, especially if they're layered and untidy, says Lepine. For short hair, highlights should be multidimensional, not all the similar color, she notes. Two or three shades of blonde or light brown are greatest, with the lightest shade on the ends of hair. The merge of highlights makes hair seem brighter, she says, and also ensures that roots will be less obvious.
Straightened Hair Styles
Anything that applies warmth to the hair will have the consequence of drying the strands and of making them breakable and more vulnerable to breaking. Anything that causes rubbing or physical stress to the hair can reason hair loss. In addition, curly hair has a exclusive chemical structure. Sulfur atoms in hair proteins generate disulfide bonds by joining together in pairs. The greater is the distance between the proteins at the time of bonding, the superior the bend in the hair when the bond is formed. Heating techniques to relax that bond literally attack the chemical structure of curly hair. Several times straightening methods are used, the hair should be habitually moisturized. Keep split ends under manage, and build times into your week when your hair can "relax" and be its natural curly self.

Hey Guys! Nikki here!
Well.. well.. it's that time of your again… The good'ol Valentine's Day. I am actually amazed that I have someone to share this day with this year… I remember many years previously spending the day with my dog (which was great! no offence Buddy). So in fear that I would write a smooshed up post about how much I love my boyfriend, I have looked to Lyndsay Swan to give you guys some inspiration as to what to do on this day! Yes, her real name is Lyndsay Swan. Such a 'Fairytale Princess name' haha.
Lyndsay is my English friend. We studied design together. Good times. I often make fun of how she pronounces 'yogurt' (Yoogurrt) and says 'you right…?' and yes, she does drink a lot of tea. Please welcome Lyndsay to our LUXAH blog! Hopefully you will be seeing much more of her blog visits in future! Enjoy! x
Valentine's Day Dilemma
For some, Valentine's Day, is a lovely time of year, receiving flowers and cheesy loved up notes in a heart-shaped card from their significant other. For others it's a no-go-zone, the idea of buying red foiled heart chocolates and teddy bears might make you cringe.
As a single girl in her 20's, binge watching all of my favourite chick flicks is where it's at for me.
So what to do whether you are in a relationship or not? Ultimately Valentine's Day is about love, so love on, love your friend, your pet, your partner and yourself. Here are some things you could do: embrace the love people!
// Dinner Date //
Dress up fancy and book a table for 2 at that really lush restaurant you've been holding out for.
// Splurge on a hotel room //
If you're that couple whose done every Valentine's date idea in the book, take some time to unwind, and chill out in a spa and sauna included hotel with room service.
// Spend the day doing outdoor activities //
Go rock climbing, take a hike or hit your local swim centre and let out your inner child and have fun.
// Homemade fancy dinner //
Go old school and surprise your partner with a fancy homemade dinner. (Don't forget the candles!)
// Coupon vouchers //
Sauce up the romance with some custom coupon vouchers, anything from a body massage to breakfast in bed.
// Movie night //
Spend the night with your ultimate celeb crushes, whether it's George Clooney or Ryan Gosling, you're bound to have a great night in. (I cannot wait!)
// Brunch date //
Take your bestie out and catch up over brunch. Because brunch is the best. Will you have breakfast or will you have lunch? Why not both!?
// Hit the town //
Dress up and go dancing with some cocktails in hand at your favourite club or bar. Get them happy hormones running!
// Spa sesh //
Treat yo'self! Book a spa sesh with your bestie, not only will you relax and unwind, you'll feel great catching up with someone you love while doing it.
// Get Making //
Get your girlfriends round to have a crafty fun sesh and decorate, whether it's cupcakes or cards for each other.
// Bombs away //
Chuck a bath bomb in your tub and light up some candles and listen to some quiet tunes.
// Lunch in the Park //
Grab your lunch and take a little walk or go cop a spot under a shady tree. And take some time to take in your surroundings in nature.
// Meditate //
Spend some quality time alone with yourself. You can meditate anywhere, as it's all about focusing on your breathing. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale… You could do this on your picnic!
// Comfy //
Turn the TV and your phone off to escape from social media and curl up in bed with your favourite book and a cup of tea.
// Surprise walk //
Take your pooch somewhere new instead of your daily routine walk, try the local dog park – who knows, for one of you it might turn out to be a Must Love Dogs story. (Also a great chick flick movie to watch!)
// Fancy dog-friendly treats //
All you need is some tinned dog food, some love heart moulds and a couple of treats to garnish and wah-la!
// DIY toys //
From anything to putting some treats in an empty tissue box or keeping used yoghurt containers.
// Nice Digs Bandana //
Luxah has some swanky dog gifts and I tell you now, if I had a dog I would be raiding the 'Pets' tab under "All that Jazz". Maybe I'll just buy the Nice Digs bandana for myself… Is that weird?
What would you really love to do? What would float your boat?
Bride Wars here I come!


text: MUSIC Eurovision Song Contest Creates Frenzy Overseas 2:28 PM PDT 5/15/2011 by Karsten Kastelan FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Europe's biggest music event -- whose alumni include Abba, Celine Dion and Katrina and the Waves -- might be a little freaky for the U.S., but ignore it at your own peril. While for most of us, ESC stands for the upper left button on computer keyboards, pop-music aficionados know it as the abbreviation for the Eurovision Song Contest, the battle of artists from 50 countries that annually captivates a television audience of 125 million and can draw up to 59 percent of viewers ages 14-49 in industrialized countries. But numbers only go so far to describe the sheer size and impact of the event, which was hosted by Germany this year. The opening number alone, which started with host Stefan Raab and a guitar and ended with a big band, 42 dancing look-alikes of last year's winner, Lena, a whirl of pyrotechnics and the real Lena rocking the house, was easily the most extravagant and exciting production number to hit Germany since the 1936 Olympics, creating a frenzy rarely associated with easily digestible pop music. Another example for the ESC's importance is the venue itself: The gigantic stadium in tranquil Dusseldorf is actually the home of the city's soccer team, which voluntarily vacated the premises for 19 weeks during the sport's peak season to move to a temporary facility next door. It's like the Dodgers handing over their stadium to the Academy for five months, just to make sure the Oscars have an appropriate venue for one night. Behind this spectacle is Cologne's Brainpool, a subsidiary of Paris-based, international television powerhouse Banijay, which was chosen by German pubcaster NDR to produce an event worthy of its affluent host-country and palatable to the ESC's most rabid fans. The former can be a financial challenge, as last year's host Norway discovered when pubcaster NRK had to cancel several series and resell the television-rights for the soccer world cup to meet the hefty price tag of €25 million. A similarly austere measure would, of course, cause a riot in soccer-centric Germany and since the most likely source of revenue, advertising-euros, were not an option (the members of the European Broadcasting Union, which is responsible for the ESC, are all pubcasters), the money had to come from somewhere else. Ticket sales, European license fees, sponsors and a small EU-handout lessened the burden, but about 12 million Euros remained, according to NDR head of entertainment Thomas Schreiber, who points out that tiny Norway was stuck with a bigger bill in the end. As for the fans, they can certainly be a fickle bunch: The most hardcore of them actually arrive 14 days before the main event, taking part in the semifinals and dress and jury rehearsals (a major source of revenue), wearing strange costumes that showcase their favorites' nationality (or sometimes costumes that are just plain strange). "It's really a mixture between Christopher Street Day, the Olympics, football and something about music," says Jorg Grabosch, the CEO and co-owner of Brainpool, which has created quite a franchise for the national selection shows with "Our Song for Oslo" last year. But while the show on the ground, which Grabosh likens to the "mother of all parties," mostly caters to the europop-fanatics, the broadcast is a different matter, since it reaches people of all ages, from kids to grannies. Not just that: It is shown in rather liberal countries like Germany as well as conservative enclaves such as Azerbaijan alike. But this is Europe, after all, so a narrowly avoided Nipplegate during rehearsals only elicits fond chuckles from Grabosch and Schreiber, who only had to change a few scripted bits that involved co-host Anke Engelke getting plastered on European cocktails and getting hit in the face by Raab, which would be funny in Germany or the U.K., but might be misunderstood in member countries that still see spousal abuse as a well-established tradition. A much hotter iron would appear to be the final result of the competition, with the Byzantine, 55-year-old voting process and rivalries between states like Ireland and the U.K. or Germany and Austria leading to politically charged ballots, sometimes pushing the result towards the incomprehensible. Especially this year, when basically all front-runners (including the incumbent, Lena, the U.K.'s boy-band slash eye-candy Blue and Ireland's freakish-but-skilled entry Jedward) had to take a backseat to Ell/Nikki from Azerbaijan, one might be tempted to harp about the end results. But, after some moments of reflection, one has to admit that the fantastic freakishness, fun factor, as well as quite a number of good songs were enough to even win hardened cynics over. And if one absolutely has to be spoilsport, there is no such time as the future -- with ESC fans, professionals and foes alike wondering how the 2012 contest in Baku will stack up against the powerhouse performance presented in Dusseldorf. And while American industry types might still shake their head in amazement, wonder or disgust when they encounter the ESC at viewing parties in Cannes, they'd do well to remember their initial reaction to soccer not too long ago. With Abba, Celine Dion and Katrina and the Waves being among the Eurovision Song Contest's most prominent alumni, this is a format that might very well end up on their local dial anytime soon.

"I am the One who calls you to come to Me
with your needs, your griefs, your hopes and your cares.
I know that you worry I will not hear you
if you don't pray 'correctly' or long enough
or with enough feeling in your heart.
My child, I know you want to stay focused on Me
and bring your needs to Me without being distracted.
"I want you to know that I always hear you, My child!
I hear you even before you call!
I know you want to give Me your everything,
but the more you try, the more you see how weak you are.
"Do not be ashamed, My child,
for I gave My everything because I knew you couldn't!
I am not upset or disappointed that you have been unable
to attain perfection in prayer as you think I want you to.
Instead, I am overjoyed and delighted in you, My child,
and I rejoice in any attempt you make to pray.
"I just want to be with you, My child.
When you come to Me in prayer,
I want you to rest in My love for you
and to know that I have already heard you
and am already caring for your needs.
I am strong in your weakness!"

Statistics: Working with Random Samples of Patients
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
You work at a major regional hospital and you are concerned about waiting times in the emergency room. This file contains data on some random samples of patients. Use the data to answer the following questions.
Problem 1: Column A contains wait times (in minutes) from arrival to triage from a sample of 100 patients. Your emergency room sees 80,000 patients per year. Hospital administrators have claimed that the average arrival-triage wait time is ten minutes.
a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean arrival-triage wait time.
b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the total time spent waiting for triage throughout the year.
c) Based on your answer in part (a) (and part (b) if you did that), explain (in plain English) what these results mean.
Excel Tips: The Excel functions =TDIST and =TINV are similar to the functions =NORMSDIST and =NORMSINV and can be used to calculate T critical values. See the Excel helpfile for instructions on the syntax for this function.
Problem 2: A major concern with long ER wait times is that patients may leave the ER without being seen, due to dissatisfaction with having to wait. Other hospitals in the region have patients leave the ER without being seen at a rate of 5%. You are interested to see if your rate is the same as those hospitals nearby. You collect a random sample of 1000 ER visitors. Of those 1000 visitors, 28 left without receiving any treatment. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of ER patients that leave without receiving any treatment. Interpret your findings with respect to the 5% figure in other area hospitals.
Problem 3: When discussing wait times, there are typically four figures of interest: arrival to triage (discussed in problem 1), triage to ER, wait to see a provider once in the ER, and overall arrival to provider wait times. The hospital would like to ensure that the overall arrival to provider wait time is less than 60 minutes. Column B has overall wait times for a random sample of 150 patients.
a) Using alpha=0.05, conduct a one-tailed t test of the hypothesis that average wait time is less than 60 minutes. Use m <= 60 as your null hypothesis
b) What is the p value associated with your sample mean weight?
c) What conclusions can you draw from these results?
Excel Tips: By default, =TINV assumes a 2-tailed t test. If you want to calculate a p-value using a 1-tailed t test, simply double the probability you enter into the formula. =TDIST is not capable of dealing with negative numbers. If your t test statistic is negative, use =ABS to make it positive so =TDIST can work correctly.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 10, 2019, 3:14 am ad1c9bdddf


text: Itzhak Perlman is an Israeli violinist, teacher, and conductor born on August 31, 1945 (Heifetz was 43 years old.) He is at the forefront of virtuosos (Zukerman, Kremer, Mullova, Wha Chung, Midori, Laredo, Accardo, Fodor, etc.) who came after the early Twentieth Century era of violinists – Kreisler, Milstein, Gitlis, Heifetz, Elman, Szeryng, Zimbalist, Oistrakh, Kogan, Haendel, Francescatti, Ricci, Ferras, Stern, Grumiaux and others. In addition to a golden tone and an impressive, seemingly effortless technique, he is known for having a good bass voice and a charismatic stage presence. He first took up the violin at age 5 while living in Tel Aviv, Israel. He came to the U.S. in 1958. Winning a scholarship, Perlman attended the Juilliard School of Music (New York) where his teachers were Ivan Galamian and Dorothy Delay. Today, he teaches in their place. His U.S. debut (at Carnegie Hall) took place in 1963 and Perlman has been concertizing, recording, and making television appearances ever since. In addition, as most concert artists of today do, he frequently plays chamber music. His conducting work is mostly done with the Detroit Symphony and the Westchester Philharmonic. Perlman has a profile page on MySpace and YouTube features lots of videos of his playing. A particular favorite of viewers is the Handel Halvorsen Passacaglia (with Pinchas Zukerman on viola.) Perlman plays the Soil Stradivarius of 1714, previously owned by Yehudi Menuhin.

Bush the Decider
"I'm the decider, and I decide what's best." George W. Bush
Do you read quotes like that from the President of the United States and feel as embarrassed as I do?
The Leader of the Free World--the most powerful man on the planet--talks like a ten-year-old playground bully.
His bungled syntax, nervous hehehe's, drifts off topic, uncomfortable efforts to communicate with the press and the public used to be funny as Leno or Letterman sound bites. Not so much these days.
The country's not laughing. We're cringing.
Because the man at the top is losing it. And that's no laughing matter.
The pressure's getting to him. George W. Bush is not the kind of guy who takes criticism lightly. A sub-basement approval rating has got to be driving him to drink.
His handlers are clearly in near hysterical spin mode. And what's their solution? The most banal and least effective canard in the book -- a personnel shake-up.
It's been a frantic few weeks in Washington. Heads rolling, scapegoats taking hits left and right, pundits having a field day. Card, McClellan, Rove, Snow, even Rumsfeld and a growing list of White House staffers and policy wonks whose heads are said to be on the block.
We should be jumping for joy. So why do I find the whole thing one big yawn?
Nothing. Will. Change.
The new guys are carbon copies of the old guys. Bush and his posse have merely created graven images of their own craven self-worship.
Their version of damage control is little more than an illusion designed to take our focus off the War in Iraq, a new war with Iran ... not to mention medicare, social security, deficits, lobbyists and upcoming indictments.
The public's finally catching on. Right and left, nobody's buying it. Seems the ideal time to stage a coup, run these inept bunglers out of town on a rail.
One glitch in that scenario: we can't seem to find a Democrat who's a Decider.

Authors live for reviews–they make us keep writing. If you've read one of my books, please consider leaving a review on Amazon or Goodreads. Thank you!
Here are some examples of reviews my work has received:
For The Yellow Scarf:
"Phyllis A. Duncan produces flashes of light with the sharpness of a laser pointer. Prolific barely begins to describe her, with a veritable library of novellas and short stories that she has penned, including such titles as The Yellow Scarf, Spy Flash, and Blood Vengeance. As a graduate of Madison College (now James Madison University) with degrees in history and political science, Duncan incorporates elements of realism into the work that elude lesser writers.
"Though her settings rarely cross under the Mason-Dixon line, Duncan's roots as a Virginia native give her work richness that might not otherwise exist. Her suspense thriller The Yellow Scarf deals with the tumultuous lives of a husband and wife spy team dodging snipers, terrorists, and doubt in the Balkans. The story opens with Alexei Bukharin attempting to rescue his pregnant wife from the clutches of a terrorist planning to take her baby and then dispose of her. This theme of stolen motherhood reverberates throughout the piece and creates a somber resonance. Short-form aids in the piece's immediacy, making Duncan's usage of the form an astute choice."
Steve McCondichie, SFK Press
"Spy Flash isn't your typical espionage book, and Mai and Alexi aren't your typical spies — you'll enjoy them a whole lot more and remember them long after you finish the book."
Jennie Coughlin
"Spy Flash is perfect for those who enjoy spy fiction, a bit of history, intrigue, and good guys winning."
Michele Rice Carpenter
"This is as real and intense as it gets. The stories mix real events with fictional characters in a way that makes everything extremely believable. The fact that those events can be researched on the web, where explicit pictures show the extent of the horror, is hair-raising."
Steve Grant (on Blood Vengeance)
"Enjoyed reading My Noble Enemy. Had me with the opening paragraph's humor."
Marvin Friedlander

text: Unemployment at 7.8%, Lowest in Obama's Term Rate drops as nation adds a so-so 114,000 jobs By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Oct 5, 2012 7:56 AM CDT 198 comments Veteran Samuel Campos, 29, second from right, holds his resume as he waits to speak to a representative from Securitas during a job fair Sept. 28, 2012 at Yankee Stadium in New York. (AP Photo/Tina Fineberg) (Newser) – The unemployment rate dropped to 7.8% last month, its lowest level since January 2009—meaning it's now officially lower than it was when President Obama took office, the Wall Street Journal reports. Today's jobs report also shows that 114,000 jobs were added; consensus had been 118,000 jobs added and a stable 8.1% unemployment rate. Steven Russolillo notes that while this is a good sign, it's not amazing news: We're still averaging just 143,000 jobs per month this year, compared to 153,000 last year, and economists think we need to hit 200,000. Even so, more positive news: August job gains were revised upward to 142,000 from 96,000, meaning that bleak report wasn't actually quite so bleak, and July's numbers were revised upward to 181,000 from 141,000.

THE Campus @ 3333, Phase 1
Santa Clara, California | commercial development, technology & corporate
Santa Clara, California | commercial development, technology & corporate
Built on one of the few remaining large development sites in the heart of Silicon Valley, this 30.2-acre, five-building speculative office campus was originally planned to total 750,000 square feet. After Phase 1, consisting of three four-story buildings, saw high pre-leasing demand, RMW adjusted the master plan to increase the allowable development capacity by more than 550,000 sf. The updated plan knits the five buildings into a holistic campus accommodating 1.3 million sf. Steel-frame and pre-cast concrete buildings offer spacious atrium lobbies and full-height windows which bring natural light deep into the large floorplates.
Amenities include a basketball court, two bocce ball courts, a large outdoor dining plaza and additional outdoor seating areas, an 8,000-sf full-service cafeteria, and a 2,000-sf fitness center. Phase 1 achieved LEED Silver certification.
3333 Scott Boulevard was a finalist in the Best Speculative Project category, 2013 Structures Awards, Silicon Valley Business Journal.
The campus is located just 1.5 miles from the new San Francisco 49ers stadium.
The property is owned and developed by Menlo Equities.

It looks great on you Shirley :D I do love a good peasant top/dress. Perfect for summer.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you are feeling better and things are coming along :DReplies
Thanks Kristin! I had my last 50cc put in yesterday, so now I just have to wait for surgery #2 in October! The doctor said I will be much more comfortable after that.Delete
You look fabulous, Shirley!!! I haven't made a peasant dress for an adult... plenty for kids, though. I think(?) I may have that pattern. It would look great as a top or tunic with leggings, too.ReplyDeleteReplies
It looks great! Very flattering!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Kelly! I definitely want to make another one. I have a fabric where the edge of it is kind of that wavy look, so I think I'll try and line the bottom of the dress up with it.Delete

NOTD: L'Oreal LE Nail Polish "Owl Lust" - Project Runway's Take Flight Collection10:53 AM
L'oreal Limited Edition nail polish in Owl's Lust. A dusty, smokey, red creme with burnt orange undertones, this isn't your typical red polish. With the flash you see more of the orange/red color, and in with natural light the smokiness really shows through.
The above picture is much more true to color, in my opinion. Less red and more of that unique color I was drawn in by.
I've swatched it below - two coats with one coat of Seche Vite on top. The formula was nice and smooth. I didn't notice any streaking, and the color dried with a very nice shine.
A gorgeous color, definitely out of the dorm, especially if you are looking for a wearable, but vampy red. Have you tried this one yet?

A couple of my favorite sources for news and happenings in both public relations and social media are PR Daily, and Ragan Communications (PR Daily is part of Ragan). I've been following both sites for years, have attended a couple of Ragan events, and have even been quoted as a source in their reporting. I've found their coverage of the news cycle from a PR perspective to be consistently informative and entertaining. Ragan's daily headlines is one of the few email newsletters I read daily, and in itself, it's a study in crafting winning headlines with engaging graphics that make readers want to click through to your content.
Stories I've enjoyed there recently:
- 9 completely pointless corporate words
- Graphic designer: 5 tips for working with me
- Report: The 10 most-hated companies
If you're into PR, social media, – or grammar, online trends, and any of the communication-related other areas they cover – definitely give these sites a visit and consider signing up for the newsletters.
What do you think? Are you a Ragan.com or PR Daily consumer already? Or have you never heard of these sites? Do you have a personal or business interest in PR or social media? Let us hear from you in the comments.

We Tried It! Submarine on Crystal Espritby Sherri Eisenberg | February 08, 2016
Crystal Cruises' 62-passenger Crystal Esprit, the first yacht from a company known for 1,000-passenger ships, carries with it the line's most unusual amenity: a submarine. The vessel itself is a C-Explorer, made by a company called U-Boat Worx, which specializes in research vessels made for scientific exploration.
Housed as part of the watersports marina, home to jet skis, kayaks, wakeboards, and Zodiacs, the three-passenger submersible can plunge 300 meters (about 984 feet) under sea level. There, passengers who don't dive — or are just looking for a new experience — can explore the bottom of the ocean floor and watch the sea life from inside a protective clear acrylic bubble. What exactly will you get to see? That changes not just from week to week, but really from ride to ride.
What It's Really Like: You're given a 15-minute safety briefing, then put on a Zodiac boat and taken out to the vessel, which is placed in the water for one day of the week-long sailing over an especially clear, fish-filled reef. Several crew members (including the captain and his first mate) have been trained to pilot the submarine. The crew helps you onto the roof of the vessel and in through the top hatch opening at the peak of the bubble-like hull. You place your feet on the armrests and then ease yourself into one of the seats. There are cup holders for bottles of water, and the crew hands your phone to you, so you can take pictures of the ride.
The submarine is small, but it doesn't feel claustrophobic, since the 180-degree view through the clear acrylic makes you feel at one with the open ocean. After the second passenger and the pilot get in, the pilot gives some numbers to the crew outside, gets the clearance to proceed, and begins the descent under water.
It's warm inside, but only from the sun beating on the acrylic when the submarine is above ground. Once submerged, the air conditioning kicks on.
