I have heard at the presentations that ribbons will be mail for a set fee. $5 is the fee I have heard twice. Do I recall a premium with that listed also? Howard N has the right idea methinks.

no beef with me if at another stake. but when you see the exit ,stage left time after time regards......
We have a headquaters set up, as do most around here. If you don't get a ribbon with us it is because you 1) hauled azz before the judges signed their books, 2) you didn't ask since all our officals carry a radio and we can find whoever you need to see to get your ribbon. If your time is too valuable to expend a little effort and a few mins time to get your ribbon then I am sure you will have noroblem paying the club to mail it to you. Every penny from an event is needed and sending out ribbons at a cost of at least $3 in postage plus and envelope that will safely mail a ribbon without dammage is in no way beneficial to the bottom line. $5 to have your ribbon mailed is less then cost if you factor time into the picture.
IF you have an emergency that is a different story, but that is seldom the reason.

Our club lists in the premium:
If you are not able to stay, it is your responsibility to appoint someone to pick up your ribbon or give the Marshal a self-addressed stamped envelope to have the ribbon mailed to you. I have been at other stakes or working when ribbons were handed out and have ALWAYS been able to get them from a marshal or secretary before leaving. I agree that if you didn't leave with your ribbon then it's on you and not the club.

There's those who just TALK about doin' it and those who just DO IT!
Our club secretary used to mail ribbons out to those who did not receive them, but it started to get too expensive, costing $40+ each event to send these ribbons out, plus her time to get the envelopes, go to the post office and stand in line, etc.
We just recently instituted a policy that requires any handler who does not receive ribbon at the awards ceremony, can either have someone else pick it up, see us prior to closing (in the event they were at another stake), or leave a self address stamped envelope with the secretary (or event chair) prior to leaving, and then we would mail them out.
It is my belief that if someone is not willing to wait around to receive the ribbon, then it really is not that important to them. Unfortunately, at the same time, I have had to wait 2 hours to receive my ribbon after a hunt test was over. Needless to say, that was not fun and I wanted to leave, but the ribbon was too important to me so I stayed.

Thank you, Howard! Very well said. One of the clubs for whom I am FT and HT Secretary voted to stop mailing ribbons because it got out of hand. The club now states in their premium on EE that ribbons will not be mailed. At the last HT, only one ribbon & duck band was not picked up. They did not get mailed.
EE does not mail ribbons. The club has the ribbons and duck bands if they give out duck bands at their hunt tests. The club has the ribbons for their field trial. When someone does not stay for the awards to get their ribbon, it used to be my job to mail them the ribbon. That meant the club had to buy large envelopes and I had to keep them in stock, I had to address them and take them to the post office and stand in line to mail them. It simply got out of hand when folks knew they could leave early and that "the club" would get their ribbon to them. When I said somebody else in the club could take over that job, the club voted not to mail ribbons anymore.

That wasn't the case when I was secretary. I honestly didn't mind mailing ribbons or anything else associated with the job. I see everyone's point and I've always waited for ribbons, but some folks have a great distance to drive and it's a very small thing to mail a ribbon.
It's like marshalling-treat people the way you want to be treated. I marshalled a test years ago where I had folks with very long drives who worked when I needed them and stayed when I told them to go. As opposed to those who wouldn't lift a finger. This is a a sport where we are dependent upon volunteers and you should take on any job and give 110%. You're either a participant or a spectator and in my opinion everyone should participate.
Hypocritically, I can't attend Shoreline's HT this weekend and it bothers me that I am not putting my money where my mouth is.

Quick access to LC-2301 LC-2302 LC-2303 LC-2304 LC-2305 LC-2306 LC-2307 LC-2308 LC-2309 LC-2310
There are 10 comments (sorted by their types, and the section they are about).
1) ** WELL DEFINED QUERY AND AUTHORITY ** http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#URI-scheme points to RFC 2617, which has been replaced by RFC 4395. I think WebArch should be updated to recommend that W3C recommendations must use "permanent" schemes and not "provisional" ones. RFC 4395 requires that permanent scheme definitions be "Well-defined". Leaving in syntactic components and declaring them "out of scope" is leaving them undefined. Suggestion: Remove 'authority' from the syntax, and any sections that refer to them; disallow query components Alternate Suggestion: define the meaning of "authority" and query components.
2) ** WELL-DEFINED MAPPING TO FILES ** Section 4.4 Step 2 makes normative reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/#rule-for-finding-a-file-within-a-widget- The algorithm there seems to be lacking a clear definition of "matches" which deals reasonably with the issues surrounding matching and equivalence for Unicode strings, or the handling of character sets in IRIs which are not represented in UTF8. Suggestion (Editorial): Move the definition of the mapping algorithm into the URI scheme registration document so that its definition can be reviewed for completeness. Suggestion (Technical): Define exactly and precisely what "match" means and make it clear what the appropriate response or error conditions are if there is more than one file that "match"es.
3) ** Reuse URI schemes ** http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#URI-scheme includes "Good practice: Reuse URI schemes" "A specification SHOULD reuse an existing URI scheme (rather than create a new one) when it provides the desired properties of identifiers and their relation to resources." The draft suggests there are many other schemes (with merit) already proposed, but that these existing efforts, "rather than identify packaged resources from the outside, widget URIs identify them only on the inside of a package, irrespective of that package's own location.", but this seems to indicate that the requirements for "widget" URIs are weaker, not stronger. Suggestion: Supply use cases where reuse of existing schemes (including "thismessage:/") do not provide the desired properties of identifiers and their relation to resources. Alternate Suggestion: Withdraw registration of "widget:" and reference existing scheme. Alternate Suggestion: Provide guidelines so that "widget:" can be used for other applications that need a way of referencing components within ZIP packages; rename "widget:" to use a scheme name that is appropriate for this broader application. AWWW Suggestion: add guideline: "Make New URI Schemes Reusable If You Can't Reuse URI schemes".
9) ** ORIGIN CALCULATION ** A: "Usage as Origin" This information applies to the notion of origin calculation which is itself incomplete, and introduces an unnecessary normative dependency. Suggestion: Drop this section (if needed for widgets, put it somewhere else)
5) ** EDITORIAL USE OF URI FOR IRI ** "Throughout this specification, wherever the term URI [URI] is used, it can be replaced interchangeably with the term IRI [RFC3987]. All widget URIs are IRIs, but the term URI is more common and was therefore preferred for readability." Seriously, do we need a W3C Guideline or Finding to cover "DO NOT REDEFINE TERMS"? There's glory for you! (see http://www.sabian.org/Alice/lgchap06.htm ). Suggestion: Use "IRI" since that's what is meant.
6) ** EDITORIAL RE FRAGMENT ** "Note that assigning semantics or interpretation to the query or fragment components is outside the scope of this specification. The ways in which they are used depends on the content types that they are applied to, or what executable script decides to do with them." The wording might be taken to mean that a URI scheme registration normally *does* assign semantics or interpretation to the fragment components. Suggestion: drop this note.
7) ** EDITORIAL TITLE ** "Widgets 1.0: Widget URIs" the "1.0" might imply some kind of versioning, but there is no versioning of URI schemes. Suggestion: retitle "Widget URIs"
8) ** EDITORIAL DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION ** Are "A, B, C and D" appendices? Normative? Suggestion: remove A ("Usage as Origin") either remove B ("Requirements") or edit it to be comprehensible to someone not familiar with the widgets specification, make C ("Acknowledgements") and D ("References") into normal document sections.
4) ** EDITORIAL RE OTHER SCHEME ** "In fact, it is possible that both this scheme and another defined to access Zip archive content would be used jointly, with little or no overlap in functionality." Without any other context, this is incomprehensible. Suggestion: remove sentence.

Jump into bed with Bettina this afternoon. She posted a nasty amateur homemade porn she made with a friend cuz nothing turns this Hungarian fuck-slut on like thinking dudes everywhere are jacking their dicks watching her fingerfuck that perfect pussy...
Bettina thinks it's so much hotter when there's a crowd watching. She wanted us to share this little tape with you of her body so fucking wet. She shoved a showerhead right into her little pussy and fucked herself until she came again and again.
I taught Bettina how to drive stick, I had a feeling it was gonna be quite amusing so I brought my camera along. She didn't do to well with riding stick but she did do well riding my stick.

Everything here was good but it wasn't great. Not as much freedom of choice as I'm used to at hibachi places but good nonetheless.
I was hesitant to try this Steakhouse due to the reviews I have read on TripAdvisor. I am glad we went. It certainly was not as awful as we had expected it to be. When we walked in the hostess was very nice and said us at one of the cooktop tables within 15 minutes we had our drinks and... More
Food: Sushi is from old and cheap fish. I would not recommend at all . After I saw the fish they use, I really had to debate and but decided to try. Based on my experience the fish they used wouldn't be sushi grade. Service: I wasn't asked if I want to grill or sushi. I was just led to... More
We visit for special occasions, bad days and everything in between. Food is delicious and the owners are wonderful people who remember every customer
the food is really good but small portions and big prices. the wait staff is not friendly and most times walk off while you are talking to them
I decided to take my daughter out to eat with the family for her 6th birthday. She originally picked Oscar's, but we decided to go with her second choice since we were in the area. Big mistake! I have eaten here several times before, and each time seems to get worse. We have had issues before with unfriendly staff to... More
For a college student who loves Sushi this is the place to go. The roles are always good and not at a bad price. Love to come here while I at frostburg for college.
Wasabi is a great place for family and kids or for a date. It is a little pricy but well worth the experience and the food is amazing. Can sit at the hibachi grill or at a table whichever you prefer but if its your first time sit at the grill and enjoy the entertainment.
Nice to take the kids to, very pricey, wish the waitresses were a little friendlier but overall the food is good and your chef is always pleasant!
Terrible service. Very poor. Busgirl very disrespectful. Food terrible. Management very poor. Found hair in my food. Rats inside restaurant.

I am a big fan of Randall Munroe's web comic strip xkcd. (Apparently I am not alone.)
A while ago, Randall posted a strip with a self-referential chart of the amount of black ink in the image.
If you have read my past blog items, you know I like recursive pictures. So I thought I would create a Mathematica version of this strip.
First, I generated each of the charts, which are all pretty straightforward chart types in Mathematica. The work was in making them roughly follow Randall's style choices.
The pie chart:
The bar chart:
The ink location chart:
Next, I solved the equation f[x]=x, where f is the function that generates an analysis report on the ink in an image and x is the image of the report.
If the equation is substituted into itself, it also solves f[f[x]]=x, and for that matter f[f[f[f[f[f[f[x]]]]]]]=x.
If f meets certain convergence criteria, then this problem can be solved iteratively just by working out f[f[f[...f[x]…]]] for some random initial guess at x.
This is exactly the numerical analysis task that every bored schoolchild has done at some point by pressing the Cos button on a calculator repeatedly. It eventually converges on 0.739085, which is the solution to the equation Cos[x]=x. In Mathematica this is easily done with:
So all I needed was a function that generates a cartoon strip based on the analysis of a cartoon strip. I started by creating a measure of black ink in an image. Since Mathematica mostly prefers vector graphics, I first needed to convert to a raster image before I could count pixels.
And then I fed the results of that into the panel generating functions.
I then used it on a completely blank strip as the initial guess.
Since I started with a blank strip, it registered no black ink. But the second iteration picked up the black from the edge of the pie chart, the frame, the axes, and the text in the first iteration.
Then I did the same as we all did with Cos and found the fixed point, the point at which applying the function again makes no difference.
I didn't deal with convergence criteria here, and for some design choices, that is a problem. But in practice, for this task, convergence problems are cycles of dithering of individual anti-aliased pixels, rather than a fundamental divergence. The differences become imperceptible to the human eye after 10 or 20 iterations. So the following is more practical than FixedPoint:
One can quickly extend the idea to a color version. Here is one in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black—the standard ink colors), but one could equally do RGB, HSB, or CMYK+White.
First, I had to update the styles to make the strip colorful.
Then I needed a new color analysis function and MakeImageGrid function.
If I could just get Mathematica to automate the humor of xkcd, then I would make a fortune!

Oh dear, now I'm curious of the characteristics of the solution set. I suspect the solution for the black and white case is unique (although I think you can reduce the problem to solving for a quadratic; Mmm maybe a higher degree polynomial). I have no idea about the colour case though.
Posted by Steven H Noble September 7, 2010 at 5:47 pm
A friend just linked me here. Wow, that's really cool! I never thought it could be automated so easily. I did the convergences by hand for my version, using Photoshop's pixel-counting tool—I did one version on paper, scanned it, and then started redrawing over it in Photoshop to get the counts to converge. I went back and forth between panels 1 and 2, propagating the results a few levels down panel 3 each time (so they built down each time, with deeper versions slightly less up-to-date), and had a version that was relatively stable at web resolution after not too many iterations. Since I was doing a high-res version for prints, I then replicated the final stable version down all the way down (6 or 8 levels at the resolution I was working at) and found that it didn't change the bar location by more than the precision of my ink, so I was done. If you ever figure out how to automate the general problem of webcomic generation, you should totally get a whole distributed computing project behind it and create the first webcomic that updates more than once a minute. If we thought webcomics hurt office productivity before … (Of course, you've got quite a hill to climb, given the current state of the art).

Splendid idea! :D
Posted by Schmiddi September 8, 2010 at 1:35 am
Very cool. You have to wonder whether the guy in charge of "International Business & Strategic Development" is really the one who thought up this great idea, or if he's really taking credit for some anonymous engineer's work. The optimistic side of me hopes this guy really did write this blog post, but the realistic part doesn't think it's likely.
Posted by Alex September 8, 2010 at 3:40 am
Given the guy's posting history, the variety of posters on the blog and the general vibe I get from Wolfram, I wouldn't doubt that he wrote it himself. I'd actually guess that "strategic development" means part of his job is to come up with unusual (or at least fun/simple) new ways to demonstrate Mathematica.
Posted by Moby September 8, 2010 at 3:41 am
Actually, the first 2 images aren't accurate. There's black in the circle border and on the chart axes, so the solution is false :-) Yeah, i know…
Posted by valentin September 8, 2010 at 4:10 am
I'm suprised it actually converges, somehow I would expect it too blow up: if black>white, then black grows, which makes black>>white, which makes black>>>white… Somehow it goes to a limit…interesting…
Posted by Sander Huisman September 8, 2010 at 6:05 am
It converges since there is always some amount of white in the image, and the white/black ratio is bounded away from 0 and 1. So in each iteration, since you're increasing the black and the result is bounded away from an entirely black image, it converges to a value. It would be interesting to see if this solution is unique, or if there are more fixed points.

June and July sees soaring numbers in first-time teen drug use
Teenagers are more likely to smoke a cigarette or weed
for the first time in either June orJuly than any other
month, a new study found. More than 11,000 teens first use
alcohol during the summer, U.S.
News reported. Some 5,000 first smoked a cigarette and
4,500 experimented with marijuana.
The findings were drawn from interviews with more than
230,000 teens, between 2002 and 2012, in the
administration's annual National Survey on Drug Use and
Health. The report was released Tuesday by the U.S.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
"More free time and less adult supervision can make summer
months an exciting time for many young people, but it can
also increase the likelihood of exposure to the dangers of
substance abuse," SAMHSA Administrator Pamela Hyde said in
the press release. "That is why it is critically
important to take every opportunity we can throughout the
year to talk to our young people about the real risks of
substance abuse and effective measures for avoiding it, so
they will be informed and capable of making the right
decisions on their own."
The statistics should be a call to action for parents with
teens who are out of school during the summer months,
chief clinical officer at Phoenix House and policy expert
Deni Carise told CBS News. While research both supports
and challenges evidence that marijuana leads to stronger
drugs, her work indicates that drug users have, at one
point, also tried tobacco.
In order to stop teens from long-term drug abuse problems,
"parents need to be cognizant that their children have
more free time and increase activities during the summer
months, as well as have more discussions about the harmful
effects of drugs," CBS News reported. "They should also
take care to hide prescription medications. Community
programs that keep kids busy and offer alternative
activities can also help."
Anti-drug advocates in Washington, D.C., Virginia and
Maryland, are working to help kids stay drug-free, the Washington Examiner reported. Local
jurisdictions within these regions are launching
substance-abuse prevention programs.
Drug and alcohol prevention measures, however, demand more
than awareness among teens, the Washington Examiner
reported. "It's about access and looking at community
attitudes as well," said Charles Dark, head of prevention
programs in Wards 5 and 6. "In some communities it's not
frowned upon to have youth that are underage drinking. You
have to tell people, 'It's not the norm to smoke a joint
with your child.' It's almost like deprogramming folks."
Rachel Lowry is a reporter intern for the
Deseret News.

Generally, when I have ideas that amuse me, I have a good sense if it's something that I can get away with, or if there will be negative consequences. Something like this I could get away with, whereas the consequences would outweigh the funny with, say, any amusing thought I have involving the TSA. However, I had a funny idea today that I really want to do, but I'm not sure how it will come off. So, I've decided to run it past you fine people. There's this girl in my creative writing class that is awesome and I'm very much attracted to. From what I can tell, she feels the same way about me. However, neither of us is saying anything or acting on it. I'm not because I'm a huge chicken shit about asking girls out, and I'm hoping by leaving things unsaid at some point we'll just spontaneously start making out because real life is exactly the same as a romantic comedy. With her, it seems like she thinks I'm not interested in her, or she's waiting for spontaneous makeouts as well. I don't know, I'm not telepathic. I thought the moment came last week. I made her some chainmail bracelets because I've noticed that women seem to like cheap jewellery as long as I make it myself. Right before I gave them to her, she pointed out that I seemed to be in a bad mood, and asked if I needed someone to talk to. I kind of was, but I don't know why. She was trying to be thoughtful, and then I get out the bracelets, showing that I'm thoughtful as well. She was taken completely by surprise and after a few moments of awkward silence, she said "I...have to hug you now." Tuesday, we were back to not acknowledging anything. While leaving things unspoken is fun in some ways, I'd kind of like to get things going here, because subtle hints do not usually involve having sex and that is something I would very much like to do with her, among other things. So, that funny idea I'm not sure I should do that I mentioned: Part of the creative writing class is reading things other people have written and filling out critique sheets. She asked me if I had anything I need reviewed on Tuesday, but I haven't written anything lately because I don't actually have to turn any more stories until the end of the month and I'm lazy. Later in the class, she said "You better have something for me to read on Thursday," but, well, it sounded less demanding when she said it. So, I figure she wants me to write something for her to read, I'll write something for her to read. I'll write about two people hinting that they're romantically interested in each other, not being direct, and being oblivious to the other person also being interested, throw in some references to conversations her an I have had, and title the story Story I Wrote Specifically for [Girl's Name]. My concerns are: That she won't get it. Although, she seems to be reasonably intelligent, so she probably will. That it's a bit much and I should just ask her out like a normal boring person. However, she's gathered that I'm rather intense at times and pull shit like this, and seems to like that about me, and I wouldn't want to disappoint her. I am a HUGE chicken shit about asking girls out. Back in high school, there was this girl that I started developing feelings for, but she had a boyfriend and was monogamous so I didn't say anything. After they broke up, I told her how I felt and asked her out. She flipped out, and a few days later she called me into a meeting with some counsellors, acted like she was confronting me after a sexual assault, and left me feeling like a rapist. I've asked out plenty of girls since and nothing anywhere near as bad has happened, and I realize now that she was kind of very emotionally unstable and I did nothing wrong. But still, I am really fucking anxious every time because of that one incident and it is quite annoying. So, good idea or what?
As long as this thread doesn't get all MadBaggins-y, I'd recommend that you start small before asking her out. Simple, friendly conversations to start out and then eventually ask if she wants to get some coffee after class (give it at least two weeks of regular contact). Take it slow, and don't give her the impression that you're in love with her or anything. Don't do that thing with the story, that's kind of creepy. Just write a good story man, make it light and funny. Don't make it personal, don't put her name, or pieces of conversations with her in it. just write.
I would write the story for her to read but I would not title it with her name. That way there's no pressure. With her name there it's kind of confronting because it puts her on the spot and she could worry that she will take it a way that you don't mean it and embarrassment could follow. I think if that's the sort of person you are the story is a great idea.
My story about being in love with my cousin is much less interesting. No wrestling, no Batgirl, and most disappointingly of all, no dude named Thames. We're at this point already. Even if I'm misreading her apparent romantic interest, she has expressed an interest in spending time with me outside of class, we just haven't yet. And no, I'm not in love with her, not yet anyway. Given the situation, It would most likely come off as me being a smart ass than being creepy. Also, this situation aside it does seem like a good subject for a story. Also, I have spent plenty of time talking to her, she knows what my personality is like, and it appeals to her. If she was going to be creeped out by me, she would have done so already. The situation is more "It seemed like this was going on with us, so I wrote a story about it because it's a fun idea. Also, would you like to meet for coffee later?" and not "Hi, I'm in your English class. I know we've never talked and I don't know you at all, but I'm in love with you and I bought you this engagement ring. Also, can I sniff your panties?" That was mostly in response to her "you better have something for me to read on Thursday" comment. Something like "Since you had to be all demanding, not only did I actually write something, I wrote it just for you. I put you're name in the title and everything. Would you get off my ass now?" in a sarcastic tone. Embarrassing myself I'm not concerned about. It happens plenty, I'm good at it, and it's usually funny. Embarrassing her is probably less desirable. Although embarrassing myself is probably more likely here.
Don't do the title, the rest is fine. I actually think it's a neat idea and I'm interested in hearing what happens with it.
How about Story I Wrote Specifically for [Redacted] because She Was Being All Demanding about Having Something to Review Today? Yeah, a title like Story I Wrote for [Girl's Name] kind of implies "I worked on this really hard because I want to impress you" whereas the reality is I'm going to half-ass for the next hour or two, go to sleep, and give it a quick edit tomorrow morning if I have time. I'll see what I come up with before making a final decision on this. I'll also probably come up with a normal title.
Years ago I thought the same thing about myself, yet now I'm going to school because I want to be a sex therapist when I grow up. Life is funny like that sometimes. I think instead I should include a picture of me licking half a grapefruit. I've got to appeal to my audience. I finished the story. It's about a man and woman that met while on vacation getting ready to part ways. I wrote from the man's perspective, that hes' interested in the woman but is unsure if she's interested in him. I then copy/pasted the dialogue and wrote the same exchange from the woman's perspective, expressing similar thoughts. I also poked some fun at traditional gender roles, which might be of some use in my Psychology of Gender class. Might as well try to get more than one use out of it. I changed the title to Oblivious. Seemed appropriate. I also managed to write a first-person female character and I didn't use the phrase "that time of the month" even once. That's got to be some sort of accomplishment. I'll let everyone know how this goes tomorrow. I'd say it's 50/50 that I chicken out and tell the girl I didn't write anything.
I wouldn't do it. It's much too personal. Remember, she is supposed to read / review it in front of all the class. That'd be rather embarassing for her as she seems to be as shy as you are. And making her feel that uncomfortable would be the safest way to kill the relationship before it even started. Write her a different story she can work on and give her the personal story as a present. You can say it's in return for the hug.
Women do a lot of things, and don't do a lot of other things. It comes up in conversation sometimes, but is not the central theme to every thought or conversation a woman has. The reviews aren't done in front of the class. There are papers to fill out. Only I will see it, and the teacher if I turn it in later, unless I show it to other people for some reason. I could read the story to the class, but I don't have to. Also, while we're both hesitant to overtly point out the apparent mutual attraction between us, neither one of us is particularly shy. Also, we're both writers, and used to sharing personal things in general.
She and I are still friends. It was the smoothest, least drama divorce you can imagine. We met for lunch a few days later before going our separate ways. Neither of us wanted our final memory of the other being in divorce court. So I at least made the best of it. We met in college and 10 years later we just had different priorities and opinions.
Definitely not the directing it to her. Otherwise go forward as planned. And ask her out. Which I know is a really easy thing to say, Oh lords do I. But it's really the most efficient tactic.
And yet, you see this as a failure? People change, and relationships change right along with them. You acknowledged this, decided to change your relationship, a parted on good terms. It may not have been an ideal solution, but it's far from failure. When people cling to relationships that aren't working even though they're miserable, and start blaming their partner for not knowing how to relationship properly rather than acknowledging that growing apart just happens sometimes and no one is to blame, that's failure. Well, if she picked up on the subtext of the story, she didn't say anything. I have a habit of being either blatant or too subtle, and the story definitely is not an overt "I'm talking about us" kind of thing. She did like it though. I almost asked her out. She has another class after the creative writing one, and I walked with her like I've been doing lately. Despite not getting the point of the story, I'm pretty sure she knew I was about to ask her out or ask for her phone number or something. She pretty much told me "I have stuff to do, like, right now, and I'm distracted. Let's pick this up again next week." So, nothing for now. To clear some things up: as I said before, I want to be a sex therapist. Because of this, I'm a psych major focusing on human sexuality, and it's something I started studying long before I started going to school. People act a certain way and do certain things when they're attracted to someone, and act differently when they are not. I've become very good at spotting these behaviours. She's displayed all of them. Because I'm aware of what these behaviours are, I tend to suppress them unless I catch myself doing it and consciously prevent the suppression. Even when people don't know to look for these behaviours, they still pick up on them. It's possible she doesn't realise that I'm attracted to her as well. However, being attracted to someone is different than wanting to pursue a relationship or date. The only way to know that for sure is to ask. There is another complication. I'm polyamorous. Her and I discussed this briefly, and she didn't run away screaming as happens sometimes. I'm not currently involved with anyone else so it makes little difference for the time being, but if her and I do start dating, we're going to have to have several long discussions about it which I am not looking forward to, but really shouldn't be much of a problem. I've dated monos before, and if I'm not immediately shut out the conversations typically go smoothly. The complication is that I tend to look at dating differently than most people. The way I prefer to do things is to just spend time with someone and let the type of relationship sort itself out. With typical dating, one is essentially auditioning someone for marriage. If I meet someone and a marriage-type relationship works for us, then great, but it doesn't have to bee that way. There is plenty of space between friendship and romance, casual sex and deep, loving bonds. The type of relationship I want depends on the person I'm dating and what works best for us. Mono thinking seems more compartmentalized. Friendship is one thing, romantic relationships are another. Sex is either casual or part of a loving relationship. There's no middle ground. When I date, it's nice if romance develops, but I don't have the expectation that it will develop, and I don't want to push things in that direction unless it feels natural. I've noticed many monos say they take the same approach to dating, that they prefer it to be casual with no pressure. Still, the expectation of romance is still there, there's still a social script to follow. When I date someone, or express an interest in dating someone, I don't want to follow a script; doing so interferes with communication. If I want something, I want to be able to ask without the other person assuming I'm going to be upset if I'm told no. If I'm concerned about something, I'd like to address it without the other person shutting down because it's not in the script. I want to focus on what we want and how things are rather than what we're supposed to want and how things are supposed to be. Not a lot of people are capable of communicating on this level, or even want to try. I struggle with it, but I'm learning.
Kommander, I think the story is a fantastic idea. Changing the title was probably a good call, but I think this is the perfect way to make a move on a fellow writer.

We all love cheerleaders. Well, we all love to look at cheerleaders to be more exact. As for the actual people, it's a case-by-case basis. Sorry... missing my point here. Starting over... We all love to look at cheerleaders, but we especially love to look at cheerleaders in bikinis. Am I right, folks? Gimme a HELL YEAH!! Again, sorry. No idea why I went into Stone Cold mode there. Maybe it's because I just got done looking at the Wizards Girls in bikinis in the Caribbean. Take a look for yourself and see if you don't get fired up too.
Bunch more pics here.

Induction Dynamics: I Didn't Want to Leave
Induction Dynamics of Overland Park, KS was showing its S1.8T 3-way tower loudspeaker ($13,500/pair). Using as a source an Oppo 85SE, paired with McIntosh's MX150 pre/pro, MC 207 amplifier, and MT10 turntable, and wired with Kimber Kable, the system sounded far more neutral than I was expecting. Playing an LP of Billie Holiday singing "A Foggy Day in London Town" (Songs for Distingué Lovers), I marveled at the beauty, clarity, and warmth of the sound. Like a proverbial Dorothy searching for her Toto, I didn't want to leave home without it.

/lkA HINT OF HUMOR
Have you ever done something silly and totally embarrassing and felt thankful that nobody was around to see it? We all have. A few of my memorable moments:
- finding my shirt was on backwards just before officiating at a large funeral.
- opening my front door to take out the trash without first turning off the alarm system - running back through the house, carrying my trash to turn off the alarm.
Just recently, U.S. Olympic bobsledder Johnny Quinn had a hard time keeping his embarrassing moments private. First, he got stuck in a bathroom and had to break through the door…I mean through the door.
Quinn reported on his Twitter account that the door got jammed while he was showering. He tried to pry it open, yelled for help, to no avail. He finally had to bust out.
Just days later Quinn got stuck again while in the Olympic village in Sochi, Russia, this time in an elevator. A picture showed him trying to open the elevator doors. He tweeted: "No one is going to believe this, but we just got stuck in an elevator."
It's uncertain if a friend posted the photo or if it was an elevator security camera, but there it is - a picture for everyone to see. I hope Quinn wins his races so he can be famous for more than just getting stuck over and over again.
The internet is filled with videos of other embarrassing moments. You might want to look up some of those when a snowstorm keeps you indoors. When I watch those, I admit I laugh a lot.
Then I am thankful that there is no camera footage of me out there doing something idiotic. Right?

Formidable defense is sparking Clippers
LOS ANGELES Even the Clippers' coach is playing defense.
After a reporter said his team's strength wasn't supposed to be defense, Vinny Del Negro got a little animated.
"This isn't last year. This is a different team. You can't compare this year and last year. The teams are different," he said. "I expect us to be good defensively. Get your facts right."
Saturday at Staples Center, the Clippers showed why they're starting to live up to their coach's expectations in a 101-80 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
Last season, the Clippers were a below-average defensive team, allowing 105.7 points per 100 possessions — a stat used to give an efficiency overview.
Saturday, the Clippers showed one of the NBA's top defensive teams that they're not afraid to guard either.
The Clippers held the Bulls to 33.7 percent from the field and forced 15 turnovers that led to 20 Clippers points.
The improvement on that end of the court has more to it.
"Trust," Chris Paul said. "It's trust."
Through nine games, the Clippers' rotations are crisper and their closeouts are quicker. They're forcing turnovers, deflecting passes and blocking shots.
And while Lob City is what people in the stands want to see, the defensive stops are creating those highlight opportunities.
"The reason we're having fun right now is because we're defending," Paul said. "When you get stops and you're a team like us that's great in transition, we're tough to deal with."
They are holding opponents to just more than 93 points a game on 42.6 percent shooting while scoring more than 102 on 49.5 percent shooting.

Beanie is coming back.
The Arizona Cardinals should get a boost to lackluster offense when running back Beanie Wells makes his return off the injured reserve/designated to return list in time for this Sunday's home tilt with the St. Louis Rams.
Wells went down with turf toe in Week Three and has missed seven games with the injury. He has been practicing the last two weeks and appears to be all set and ready to go.
Stephens-Howling had a tremendous game against the Falcons yesterday, leading all rushers with a season-high 127 yards and a touchdown. He is, however, more suited to be a third down, pass receiving halfback due to his small frame (5-7, 185 pounds). Wells (6-2, 229 pounds), in contrast, is a much more powerful back that should have more success running between the tackles.
By the way, the jury is still out as to who will start at quarterback this weekend for the Red Birds – Kevin Kolb (chest, ribs) may not be ready to return yet. A healthy Skelton was benched in the second quarter against the Falcons for rookie Ryan Lindley. Neither impressed. Stay tuned.

text: HBO Making Shutter Island Series With Martin Scorsese Back To DirectMeredith Woerner8/25/14 3:30pmFiled to: shutter islandmoviestelevisionhboMartin Scorsese364EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink HBO and Paramount TV are teaming up to bring Martin Scorsese's creepy horror flick Shutter Island to the small screen. Advertisement Deadline is reporting that the new series, possibly titled Ashecliffe, is centered around the creation of the island-located mental institution. So this would predate the 1954-set film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Rumor has it Scorsese will return to direct the pilot and Dennis Lehane, author of the original novel, will pen the script. According to Deadline, "The focus is the past of hospital, and the secrets and misdeeds perpetrated by its founders who erected the hospital in the early 20th Century and developed the methods of treatment use for the mentally ill." Sounds like more American Horror Story fodder but with a potential historical bent (if you're involved, Scorsese). One thing's certain, this period medical drama can't be bloodier than The Knick, right? Oh god, we hope so. Reply36 repliesLeave a reply

The high-tech eye-wear device 'Google Glass' can be a useful tool in surgical settings, particularly in relation to training, a new study has found.
Personal portable information technology is advancing at a breathtaking speed, researchers said.
Google Glass is worn like conventional glasses, but that combines a computerised central processing unit, touch-pad, display screen, high-definition camera, microphone, bone-conduction transducer, and wireless connectivity.
Researchers obtained a Glass device through Google's Explorer Programme and have tested its applicability in their daily paediatric surgical practice.
The Glass was worn by the attending surgeon daily for 4 consecutive weeks. A daily log was kept, and activities with a potential applicability were identified.
Patients overwhelmingly had a positive response to Glass and several useful applications for the technology were found including hands-free photo/video documentation, making hands-free telephone calls, looking up billing codes, and Internet searches for unfamiliar medical terms or syndromes.
However, there were also several drawbacks to the early technology including quality of the picture.
"We are just beginning to explore the functionality of this new device in Medicine and Surgery. This allows a surgeon to interact with the device without breaking scrub, even during surgery," said Oliver Muensterer from Maria Fareri Children's Hospital of Westchester Medical Centre in New York.
"We have used it for photo- and video documentation, for looking up rare or obscure medical conditions on-the-spot onward rounds, and even for such boring tasks as coding and billing. Considering that this is still an experimental device, it actually performed quite well.
"A big issue with Glass is how to handle patient privacy, particularly because the device connects to the Internet via WiFi and thereby streams its data through Google's servers," said Muensterer, lead author of the research.
The research was published in the International Journal of Surgery.

I love Figment and my heart was broken when they changed Journey into Imagination several years ago. I LOVED the original version of this attraction, but that's a different post! I was lucky enough to meet Figment during my trip to Epcot during February of 2005. There was a small room outside the "jumping water" and Honey I Shrunk the Audience theater where he was waiting for me! I just wish I could meet Dreamfinder still. :(
5 comments:
I love Figment (and as any good Disney dad would do, taught my children the joy that is our little purple friend).
Like my kids, I wish the walk-around Figment was still in the parks, although I remember (and preferred) the Dreamfinder and Figment meeting guests outside the pavilion.
Thanks for sharing the photo!

It's never been easier to put iPad and Mac in the hands of students and teachers. We've simplified the setup process so you can enroll everyone in your school quickly, configure devices automatically, and seamlessly buy and distribute apps and books.
Get your school up and running.
We've created a central system where technology managers can create accounts for everyone in the school, define roles and permissions, manage devices, and buy and distribute content in time for the first day of class.
Watch the Apple School Manager Guided TourApple School Manager
The new Apple School Manager is a simple, web-based portal that helps technology managers deploy iPad, Mac, and Apple TV in schools. Admins can configure device enrollment settings, create Managed Apple IDs for all their students and staff, and buy and distribute apps, books, and learning materials. It's easy to access Apple School Manager, simply log in from a web browser on any Mac or PC. To get started, create an account for your school or sign in with your existing Apple Deployment Programs account and transfer all your accounts, devices, and content.
Built-in privacy.
Apple will never track, share, or sell student information for advertising or marketing purposes. We build powerful safeguards into all of our devices, operating systems, apps, and services — including Managed Apple IDs, which are kept under the administration of your district. So the security, privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of student information is always protected. And we never track students or build profiles based on their email content or web browsing. Apple School Manager, iTunes U and all of the great iCloud features used by Managed Apple IDs are ISO 27001 certified to meet or exceed industry standard data security practices.
Data and Privacy Overview for Schools
Parent Guide to Privacy
Managed Apple IDs
Managed Apple IDs are designed and built for schools. This new type of account provides students and staff access to iCloud, Shared iPad, and iTunes U while maintaining the control schools need. Since Managed Apple IDs are owned by your school, you can easily reset passwords, define roles for everyone in the district, and audit accounts. Admins can create accounts in bulk by importing the necessary data from your Student Information System (SIS) or CSV files exported from your school's directory service. Apple School Manager syncs directly with popular SIS providers including SunGard and Infinite Campus.
We think Apple School Manager will save our tech staff lots of time — so we can manage devices, content, and our student accounts all from one place.
Set up devices automatically.
We've streamlined device setup for both one-to-one and Shared iPad environments.* Now you can wirelessly configure settings and restrictions according to your school's requirements, then easily assign devices to students, teachers, or class groups.
Apple School Manager and your MDM work together.
You can set up iPad and Mac wirelessly through your mobile device management (MDM) solution. Since your MDM and Apple School Manager work together seamlessly, you can automate setup and enrollment with the right settings and restrictions, then assign devices and apps according to the class groups you've defined. MDM also makes it simple to manage your devices and settings throughout the year. You can reconfigure Home screen layouts, show or hide certain apps, schedule overnight software updates, and use Lost Mode to track down misplaced devices.
Shared iPad
Shared iPad* is an iOS feature for schools that share devices and still want to provide personalized experiences. Before class begins, teachers can assign any student any shared iPad. Students know which devices to use because their pictures are on the Lock screens. Students can access their personal content using a password or easy-to-remember four-digit PIN. And because data is locally stored on the devices, after they log in, their homework, apps, and assignments are exactly as they left them. So teachers and technology managers won't lose time backing up or wiping data between classes.
Choosing your MDM solution.
Mobile device management solutions are available from a wide range of vendors, whether your school is better suited for a cloud-hosted environment or an on-premise server. MDM solutions come with different features and pricing, so you have flexibility in deciding how to bring Apple devices into your school.
These MDM solutions support education features in iOS 9.3 and beyond:
Shared iPad will allow our district to transform a cart of shared devices into a personalized learning experience for each student.
Get the right learning materials to the right classes.
Because all of your accounts, devices, and content are in sync, it's easy for technology managers to provide classrooms with the right apps, books, and learning materials in time for the first day of class.
Buy in volume and distribute wirelessly.
When you purchase apps for iPad and Mac through Apple School Manager, your education volume discount is applied automatically. And as soon as you make a purchase, it's simple to use your MDM to push apps and books to the classes, teachers, and students who need them.
Learn more about buying in volume
Classroom App
Classroom is a powerful iPad app that helps teachers guide learning, share work, and manage student devices. Teachers can launch a specific app, website, or textbook page on any iPad in the classroom. They can also send and receive documents with their class and share student work on a TV, monitor, or project it using Apple TV. Teachers can even see which apps students are working in and assign a specific shared iPad for the class period. Classroom is easy to set up on a teacher's managed iPad — and now teachers can create classes and invite students to join with no Apple ID or MDM required.
We feel that IT should be hands-off as much as possible. Teachers need control — now they'll have more power to manage their technology, which reduces support from our IT staff.
Ready for standardized testing.
iPad is an approved device for securely administering summative exams, including state standardized tests from the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), and ACT Aspire. With Automatic Assessment Configuration in iOS 9.3.2 and later, Assessment apps can automatically lock and configure iPad for testing, so that students can focus on the test without access to other apps, websites, or features such as Auto correct, Dictionary, or Sharing.

text: Delhi University, one of the prestigious universities in the country, admits over 50,000 students under its under-graduate programme in 63 colleges. The admissions started after a week-long tussle between Delhi University and the University Grants Commission over the university's controversial four-year under-graduate programme (FYUP) started last year. It was rolled back June 27."To my relief and much delay, the admissions have started. My expenses had doubled but now I have finally got a hostel," Honiya, who came all the way from Arunachal Pradesh, told IANS. Honiya is a student of Geography Honours at Miranda House. The new students were busy adjusting to the new environment on the campus."I always wanted to study at north campus of the Delhi University and now I am here. I love the campus environment," said Rohan Verma, a political science student at Ramjas College. Trying to make new friends and adjusting to the new area, the students were seen roaming around the campus, eating ice-creams to beat high humidity in the city. "I am new to the city, so I am planning to explore the entire campus with my new friends," said Bhumika Singh, who came from Haryana. She took admission in B.Com. Pass course at Lady Shri Ram College. Echoing similar feelings, Lukyir, a student at Miranda House, said: "It is a new life and days of independence in the college. I thoroughly want to enjoy my college life." Lukyir came from Arunachal Pradesh to study at Delhi University. In the midst of excitement, some students were also worried that their syllabus has still not been defined. "There is confusion about the syllabus. We have been told not to follow the syllabus given on the website. We would be informed about it later," said Kriti, who will be studying English Honours at Ramjas College. "The delay in syllabus does not let us study on our own. So I will wait and enjoy till the final syllabus is given to us," said Rajat Sharma, who is studying at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies. (Agencies) Latest News from State News Desk

Toy Story 3 Becomes Highest Grossing Animated Movie of All Time
Posted on Friday, August 13th, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
Earlier this week, Toy Story 3 surpassed Finding Nemo to become the highest grossing film in Pixar history. Today Lee Unkrich's sequel has passed another major milestone, becoming the highest grossing animated film of all time. The film has grossed more than $920 million worldwide, surpassing DreamWorks Animation's Shrek 2 ($919.8 million worldwide) for the title. The film currently ranks as the 14th highest grossing movie of all time.
Not to knock the achievement, but the movie, of course, got a bump in 3D ticket price increases that wasn't available for animated films prior to the past four years (with the amount of 3d enabled screens having tripled over the last two years). Also, non-3D surcharge ticket inflation also contributes to the big number. A film like The Lion King made $783.8 million worldwide in 1994, a number which would be adjusted to $1.54 billion today.

Hines, along with a subsidiary of a real estate fund managed by Oaktree Capital Management, has acquired the Raytheon Campus in Fullerton, California from an undisclosed seller.
The two-building, 405,130-square-foot suburban office complex is located at 1801 Hughes Drive.
The Cushman & Wakefield brokers representing the seller were Jim Jordan, David Hasbrouck, Ben Cooper and David Dowd.
Built in 1986, the property is situated on 25 acres of land and is comprised of two, three-story office buildings located in the heart of the North Orange County submarket. The property is fully leased to Raytheon, one of the world's leading defence and technology contractors.
Hines managing director Ray Lawler, who leads the firm's Orange County development and investment office, says: "We are pleased to add Raytheon's Fullerton Campus to our Orange County portfolio. It caps a tremendous 2012 year, which included three separate acquisitions in Orange County, totalling 650,000 square feet with our partner Oaktree Capital Management."
"This transaction is a great example of our ability to get comfortable with a complex structure and meet a very quick closing timeline. We look forward to expanding our Orange County portfolio in 2013," says Mark Jacobs, managing director for Oaktree Capital Management.

A delay in the ordering process, but I got the item over two weeks ago. It included the Cover, of course, a matching small storage bag, and a cable and lock & 3 keys. The cable and lock was a bonus. The cover fits my car like a glove. It even has place for my antenna on top. I have not had a chance to use it in full heavy sun to test the sun blocking material and protection, but that part should come the summer in Texas.

This product is very good and seems to be very well made. In fact it is perfect except for the fact that it does not fit my side mirrors. Front to back is perfect however the mirror pockets do not line up. I fold my mirrors in and it's perfect. If I had to do it all over again I would. Great experience with auto anything and great purchase.

Where to Begin
Well firstly , amazing game althooooooo its pointless to play... I mean I was up to level 41-42? With over 100k gold stacked up , all upgrades maxed out , every gun purchased .. and found myself having to click that little "X" on the top right =(
It was fun , and seeing new monsters appear from time to time was fun too , but I mean on my first try I got to dominate the game ..
To anyone having a hard time and willing to invest some time in this (never ending??) game here's a few tips :
Buy the crossbow as soon as possible , and stick with it until you can buy the cannon and rely fully on its overpoweredness , then buy a hired dude when possible , and another one after that then wait until you have enough for the chicken's ( they are grenades with AOE ) and then finally get the last hired dude. Get the goats whenever altho I found myself not using them at all after awhile to see if it would get challenging.. but it didnt =(
Dragon is the best "ultimate". Meteor is a waste and should cost less.. hmmm what else oh yeah , add a ending shall you? I mean seriously with 100k gold I could of went to make a sandwich , come back and just repair my maxed out castle.. lol
Music was highly original and a good touch ^^ Consider working on actually having a little story and ending to the game .. who knows maybe it ends at 50? I'll never find out forsure xD
Rated 4 / 5 stars
its ok
Its pretty well made, but gets pretty repetitive over time, the cost of healing is too high for the amount of damage the units put out and how much money you make over time. i felt somewhat overwhelmed with not enough money on only wave 18. i would be very happy if you had made a sandbox mode for the game without highscores. overall its a semi-well polished game with some annoying add-ons (really, stop making us pay to get a good score, its the internet and theres plenty of similar games if we want to play it and have the full game without paying)
fairly well thought out game with interesting mechanics, it was overall fun to play
Rated 5 / 5 stars
The game seems to lock up at level 49 (303k pts)
Fun game though. The trick is to spam the number keys.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
not bad
not bad game. not really hard at start despite what others say >.> i did fine first time and made it to round 5 on the starter wepion...but then i guess I'm God...
good song
game gets a little repetitive in the end because its just little stronger units with a spam of old ones that just get in the way...
need to work on making a little more unique in the end, like put in newer units sooner with special abilities so its not all same dude with various hp and diff art. and give player abilities like detonate enemy, and better ult weapons :\ 14k for first shot and 7k extra per shot is a little absurd since it has such a small AoE...(talking about meteor (never got dragon)
and to all who think this is to hard I made it to lvl 28 with 77615 points on my first try.
Unfortunately I found repetitive so I will refrain from another go...
