Though I haven't been home much in the past week, I've been, well, I guess "amazed" is as good a word as any to describe the media coverage of the invasion of Iraq. Most of us surely remember the first Iraqi war when we were "treated" to missile POV cameras as they fell into their targets. Just as military know-how has advanced greatly since then, so too has the manner in which such an event is presented to the public.
From the media presentation center in Kuwait to reporters "imbedded" in the field, the "war" eerily is starting to feel more like a nightly episodic reality show than something that is very very real.
I think it was the Sydney Olympic Games which were aired live here in the States, but only in the middle of the night. "Reruns" were run during normal daylight and primetime hours. As I come home each evening, I'm finding something similar to be true with this recent conflict. I'm able to flip on the telly and watch a nicely "packaged" montage of the day's events, complete with flashy titles and a symphonic score.
Now, before somebody gets all lathered up thinking this is a "political" discussion, it is not. We're talking about television here. I guess my question is, does anyone else feel like this is more like The Truman Show than real "news?" Do we need wall to wall coverage? Is there real value to having "live" cameras in Baghdad so we, here at home, can watch each bomb drop? Or is it just another form of entertainment?
What if the Revolutionary War had been broadcast live into the 13 states? Or the Civil War? What if we had cameras beaming live images from the beaches of Normandy? Can you imagine what that would have been like?
In fact, one of my favorite parts of history were the newsreels of WWII. They have that "This Week in Baseball" or NFL Films feel to them. They were "news" for sure, but there was definitely a real element of "homeland propaganda" to them as the efforts of the Allied Nations were romanticized. It's a fascinating part of our past.
There are a lot more questions that keep popping into my head about this topic, so I guess I'm just interested to know...what do you think?

Discontinued Product
B7A Energy Star Hot & Cold Water Cooler
Sorry, the manufacturer is no longer producing this product.
Description & Highlights
Clover D7A Energy Star Hot & Cold Water Cooler - Point of Use - White
From Clover, the B7A Hot & Cold Water Cooler (B7A-WHITE-POU7) combines energy efficiency, quality construction and convenience, all in a sleek, slim design that doesn't occupy too much room. Housed in a UV-protected polyethylene cabinet, the D7A provides both hot and cold water (as cold as 36°F, or up to 185°F) on demand. The one-piece cabinet construction eliminates the problem of rust and corrosion in cracks or crevices, and makes for easy removal for cleaning and maintenance. Using the B7A water cooler in your home or at the office will save you money on bottled water, time when boiling water for cooking, reduce the unbelievable amount of plastic waste collecting in landfills, and since it is Energy Star qualified, conserve energy and contain your carbon footprint.
Using advanced point of use technology the cooler allows water to flow into its reservoir until full, providing a continuous source of water without bottle storage or spilled water. Designed with the user in mind, both spouts are located close to the top of the cabinet rather than towards the middle, eliminating the need to bend too far down to dispense water. Inside, the water level is automatically controlled by a double float valve (activating a secondary safety valve in case of primary valve failure). Other convenient features include a removable drip tray, back-mounted handle for moving the unit, and a large, mid-height bottle opening that makes replacing bottles easier.
Stainless Steel Tanks:Both the hot and cold water tanks are constructed of hygienic stainless steel which is specifically designed to be contaminant-resistant and protect your health
Temperature Adjustment:Controlled by an adjustable thermostat, the cold water temperature can be set from around 35.6°F-53.6°F(2°C~12°C); the hot water temperature is automatically controlled (non-adjustable) to nearly 185°F(85°C)
ENERGY STAR® Rated:This appliance has earned an Energy Star rating, which means it meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy
Water Delivery Rate:Measured in Gallons Per Hour (GPH), the cold water averages 1 gal of 50°F per hour, whereas the hot water averages about 2 gal of 185°F per hour

POLITICAL FAMILY The fifth of nine children born into a New Orleans political family. His father, Moon Landrieu, was mayor from 1970 to 1978 and oversaw the desegregation of City Hall, surrounding himself with a multiracial brain trust. Mitch Landrieu's sister Mary is a Democratic senator representing Louisiana.
ROAD TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE A state legislator for 16 years until he became lieutenant governor in 2003. He ran unsuccessfully for mayor of New Orleans twice, first in 1994 and then in 2006. The latter campaign was an emotionally charged election less than a year after Hurricane Katrina that pitted him against C. Ray Nagin, who was seeking a second term. Mr. Nagin won with 53 percent of the vote and was precluded by term limits from running again.
THIRD TIME THE CHARM In 2010, the two candidates who presented the biggest challenge to Mr. Landrieu were both businessmen, and each ran on an outsider's platform, as Mr. Nagin had. But voters chose Mr. Landrieu, a consummate insider, by an overwhelming margin.

Strollers embarked on yet another journey of the senses at the eighth Palette and Palate Stroll presented by the CFADA (Charleston Fine Art Dealers' Association). Attendees arrived early to make the nine gallery trek a somewhat possible venture. Guests dashed through the streets of downtown Charleston bearing the humidity to have a taste of the best food and art this area has to offer. The Corrigan Gallery and Barsa Tapas served grass fed beef, carne cruda and local quail egg. Executive chef Nate Whiting of Tristan's and the Martin Gallery offered Holy Smoke Olive Oil gummy bears, watermelon jerky and vincotto. Anglin Smith Fine Art and Circa 1886 prepared a delightfully tasty cuttlefish ceviche. Cypress head chef Craig Deihl and Robet Lange Studios had a hardy smoked pork belly cornbread and plum barbecue. Helena Fox Fine Art and Anson restaurant joined forces to present a sweet treat for the evening with blackberry 'n' bourbon snowcones with brandied cherries, while Ella Walton Richardson Fine Art and Social featured a complex cocktail called "The Socialite."
Each of the galleries offered a visual variety of fine art from nationally and internationally acclaimed artists. This sold out event benefited the CFADA's visual arts scholarship. Previously that scholarship has gone to Gibbes Museum of Art, Redux Contemporary art Center and the Studio Art Department at the College of Charleston.

Radical neck dissection - discharge; Modified radical neck dissection - discharge; Selective neck dissection
- discharge
Neck dissection is surgery to remove the lymph nodes in your neck. Cells from cancers in the mouth or throat can travel in the lymph fluid and get trapped in your lymph nodes. The lymph nodes are removed to prevent cancer from spreading to other parts of your body.
You were likely in the hospital for 2 to 3 days. To help get ready for going home, you likely received help with:
Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicines. Get it filled when you go home so you have the medicine when you need it. Take your pain medicine when you start having pain. Waiting too long to take it will allow your pain to get worse than it should.
Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). These medicines may increase bleeding.
You will have staples in the wound and mild redness and swelling for the first couple of weeks after surgery.
You may have a drain in your neck when you leave the hospital. The nurse will tell you how to care for it.
Healing time will depend on how much tissue was removed.
You can eat your usual foods unless your doctor has given you a special diet.
If pain in your neck and throat is making it hard to eat:
Keep an eye out for swallowing problems:
You will need to learn to care for your wound.
You will need to see your doctor for a follow up visit in 7 to 10 days. The staples will be removed at this time.
Call your doctor if:

Author to read from her work, Feb. 23
Posted February 18, 2005; 04:18 p.m.
Jhumpa Lahiri, winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, will read from her work at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Lahiri won the award for her debut book, "Interpreter of Maladies," a collection of short stories. In her second work, a novel called "The Namesake" (2003), she built on the themes that made her collection an international bestseller: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the conflicts of assimilation and the ties between generations.
Born to Bengali Indian parents in London, Lahiri grew up in Rhode Island. She earned a bachelor's degree from Barnard College and three master's degrees and a Ph.D. from Boston University.
The event is part of the Creative Writing Program's Althea Ward Clark Reading Series.

Shares of wireless networking vendor Aruba Networks (ARUN) are up 92 cents, or 4.4%, at $22, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q2 revenue and earnings per share that topped consensus, and said its board of directors approved an additional $200 million in share buybacks.
Revenue in the three months ended in January rose almost 14%, year over year, to $176.4 million, yielding earnings per share of 18 cents.
Analysts had on average been modeling $168 million and 17 cents per share.
Separately, the company said its board authorized $200 million in buybacks, replacing the prior $300 million repurchase program, which has been almost entirely spent.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Identifying Bait
nice idea Juro,
I would simply add:
small flatfish
Not to many observations to add other than I can't recall when the lobster molting season is but it would be a good thing to know, as I understand bass take much greater advantage of this then they are sometimes given credit for. I'd love to see a good lobster pattern that is easy to tie.
I know little about the shrimp feeding habits other than some big ol' bass can be found up in pretty small water creeks feeding on them, worms and the like...
Identifying Bait
It amazes me how singularly focused stripers can be on the bait they're after. My experience has been that not only are the bait species critical but the way they are feeding on them can sometimes be just as important.
In any case, this game is all about identifying the bait and what the fish are doing to eat it.
Sand eels: About the biggest hint is striper tailing on shallow flats. In deeper water, the flashing sides and downward focused feeding gives it away. When sand eels leave the sand and travel around in tight schools, they are hotly pursued and you can almost always expect a strike when they swim by in a hurried 'ball'. Sand eels are called candlefish and/or sand launces in other parts of the world. They can be almost as thick as a cigar and over 10" long on the outer beaches, and are a worthwhile forage for large bass at that size. Sometimes they will leave the sand and work in huge open water schools, feeding in a line hundreds of yards long / wide. This is something we see on Billingsgate Shoal each season, and a great time to be flyfishing. They can be identified by the multi-segmented wiggle and typical emerald color when swimming free, changing to a surprisingly dull sand color when buried. When walking on flats, they are often seen scurrying ahead of your footsteps for a few feet to re-bury themselves in a split second. Terns are a sure giveaway, when they dive for sand eels they come up with a sand eel mustache. When fish are attacking from below, they will NOT dive but instead pick the eels as they flee from the depths.
Herring (juvenile): When the bass start feeding on schools of young herring, pogies, or anchovies, they tend to get very focused on hitting ths schools as opposed to individuals... which can often result in a challenge for anglers. When the bass 'bust' a school of young herring, you will see silvery petal-shaped fish spray out of the water. As the school swims by, you can see the wide profile and silver sheen particularly when one or two turn on their sides to feed. The bait and thus the stripers move quickly, often making spot appearances along a shoreline. Herring and pogies tend to swim distinctly along the shore against the tide current, so it's often better to 'cut off' a school than to chase it from behind. Like all things in fishing, this observation is common but by no means a rule. All larger seabirds will get involved with a herring blitz. Gulls are especially tuned into herring, especially when gamefish are attacking from below. They have the slab-shape body, small ones the shape of a leaf (except thicker) with silver bright sides and a dark back, slight hint of purple along the union of these two colors and a dark spot on the gill (more than one on shad and menhaden).
Adult Herring: The biggest sign of herring (other than a stream with a run) is the presence of large herring eating birds like black backed gulls and gannets. Mid-late May is a great time to find big fish feeding on herring, and there are often huge bass ambushing adult herring in and around the river mouths where herring are running. They can be spotted in feeding activity by the small almost trout-like splashes they make, sometimes covering a hundred square yards or more. When adult herring get run by big bass or blues they make a wave of fleeing 10-12" bodies, often ending in swirls and splashes that do the size of big stripers justice.
Mackerel: Tinker and adult mackerel behave similarly to herring in that they move quickly, except mackerel are rarely seen involved in shoreline blitzes like the other forage species south of Great Bay (Piscataqua) and Maine's coast. This is not to say it doesn't happen, Sean Fields experienced an epic blitz of tinker mackerel forced into an ocean beach bowl and right onto the sand, pounded by huge bass and blues for hours on end... on Nauset Beach. Their brilliant blue-green backs and vermiculated markings are distinct. They have a very round profile (cigar-like) as opposed to the broad 'slab' profile of the herring family.
Silversides: Silversides tend to occupy an area and push their way around from spot to spot as opposed to the hurried flight of open area sand eels or herring. They have a uniform minnow look (tapered cigarette look), often a seafoam green color or a light tea color. When you hold one in your hand, they have a nearly transparent body with a distint, artificial looking silver horizontal band. The meat is so clear you can see it's anatomy. The eyes are medium small and they have a true minnow look about them. They are usually 3-4" but can exceed 6". They are found in thick schools and when the bass feed on these schools it's hard to get their attention with a single offering of any kind. Luckily, there are fish feeding beneath the schools on the wounded and others picking up strays on the perimeter of the pack. These are the easiest to catch in this case.
anchovies: I've seem chovies more commonly from Nantucket Sound south, although most times I wouldn't tell them apart from young herring with silverside colors, or silversides. In fact, if you see bait that look like silversides but have a slightly more herring like profile with a combined tea / green tint in the sound, they could very well be 'chovies. They have a distinctly clear body with the same silverside stripe - yet the bulldog face of a herring.
crabs: No need to describe these creatures, but I have seen two cases of crab feeding by stripers. One is the common upturned 'digging' and flashing of bodies as they pick up crabs. The other was a one-time thing where the crabs were herded in a wave by a large group of stripers against a long arching jetty. Many of the crabs were actually forced near the surface, and some were fleeing into the gaps between the rocks where we stood.
Anyway, chime in if you have observation on other forage species... I'll put some patterns in the archive to go with.

Preteens, Teens Need Meningococcal Vaccine »
"Make sure your preteen and teen get the meningococcal conjugate vaccine for protection against meningococcal disease, a very serious illness where death can occur in as little as a few hours. The meningococcal conjugate vaccine is recommended at "...

(Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, Adsorbed)
BOOSTRIX (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, Adsorbed) is a noninfectious, sterile, vaccine for intramuscular administration. It contains tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, and pertussis antigens (inactivated pertussis toxin [PT] and formaldehyde-treated filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA] and pertactin). The antigens are the same as those in INFANRIX, but BOOSTRIX is formulated with reduced quantities of these antigens.
Tetanus toxin is produced by growing Clostridium tetani in a modified Latham medium derived from bovine casein. The diphtheria toxin is produced by growing Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Fenton medium containing a bovine extract. The bovine materials used in these extracts are sourced from countries which the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has determined neither have nor are at risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Both toxins are detoxified with formaldehyde, concentrated by ultrafiltration, and purified by precipitation, dialysis, and sterile filtration.
The acellular pertussis antigens (PT, FHA, and pertactin) are isolated from Bordetella pertussis culture grown in modified Stainer-Scholte liquid medium. PT and FHA are isolated from the fermentation broth; pertactin is extracted from the cells by heat treatment and flocculation. The antigens are purified in successive chromatographic and precipitation steps. PT is detoxified using glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde. FHA and pertactin are treated with formaldehyde.
Each antigen is individually adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide. Each 0.5-mL dose is formulated to contain 5 Lf of tetanus toxoid, 2.5 Lf of diphtheria toxoid, 8 mcg of inactivated PT, 8 mcg of FHA, and 2.5 mcg of pertactin (69 kiloDalton outer membrane protein).
Tetanus and diphtheria toxoid potency is determined by measuring the amount of neutralizing antitoxin in previously immunized guinea pigs. The potency of the acellular pertussis components (inactivated PT and formaldehyde-treated FHA and pertactin) is determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on sera from previously immunized mice.
Each 0.5-mL dose contains aluminum hydroxide as adjuvant (not more than 0.39 mg aluminum by assay), 4.5 mg of sodium chloride, < 100 mcg of residual formaldehyde, and ≤ 100 mcg of polysorbate 80 (Tween 80).
BOOSTRIX is available in vials and prefilled syringes. The tip caps of the prefilled syringes may contain natural rubber latex; the plungers are not made with natural rubber latex. The vial stoppers are not made with natural rubber latex.
What are the possible side effects of this vaccine (Adacel (Tdap), Boostrix (Tdap))?
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. If you ever need to receive a booster dose, you will need to tell your doctor if the previous shot caused any side effects.
Becoming infected with diphtheria, pertussis, or tetanus is much more dangerous to your health than receiving this vaccine. However, like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects but the risk of serious side effects is extremely...

What are the precautions when taking tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine, adsorbed (Boostrix)?
Before receiving this vaccination, tell your health care professional if you are allergic to it; or to any other vaccines; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as latex), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before receiving this vaccine, tell your health care professional your medical history, especially of: nervous system disorders (e.g., seizures, encephalopathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome), current illness/infection, bleeding disorders, immune system disorders (e.g., autoimmune disorders, radiation treatment), vaccination history including previous reactions to any vaccines.

Mission & History
Our Mission
The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) is a non-profit, non-partisan research organization that works on federal, state, and local tax policy issues. ITEP's mission is to ensure that elected officials, the media, and the general public have access to accurate, timely, and straightforward information that allows them to understand the effects of current and proposed tax policies. ITEP's work focuses particularly on issues of tax fairness and sustainability. ITEP works directly with lawmakers, non-governmental organizations, the public, and the media to achieve these goals.
Our History
Since its founding in 1980, ITEP's unique resources and capabilities have enabled it to provide policymakers, advocates, and the public with important information regarding state and federal tax policy. Today, the bulk of ITEP's work involves analyzing the distributional and revenue effects of current tax laws, as well as complex tax proposals made at both the state and federal levels.
To do this work, ITEP built a "microsimulation tax model" in 1996 capable of analyzing the tax systems of all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the federal government. A microsimulation model uses a large sample of tax returns and other data to estimate the impact of tax systems and tax proposals on actual taxpayers at different income levels. This is the same type of tax model used by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, and the Congressional Budget Office, as well as by many state revenue departments. Unlike ITEP's model, however, these organizations' models are only capable of producing analyses at the federal level, or in the case of state revenue departments, in a single state. A significant portion of ITEP's work consists of keeping its model up-to-date with the most current economic projections, and with recent changes to state and federal tax law.
ITEP's tax model is in such demand that requests come in daily for analyses of specific projects and proposals. As lawmakers propose plans that would affect state revenue streams, ITEP conducts timely analyses of the impact of these plans. At the state level, ITEP disseminates these analyses in two ways: by releasing independent reports describing the results of these analyses, and, more frequently, by collaborating with state-based groups interested in building their own publications around our data.
When working with state-based grounds, ITEP often works to help build coalitions, either by reaching out to organizations with little history of involvement in state tax policy, or by helping bring together multiple groups in a given state that are interested in fiscal policy reform. ITEP also disseminates its analyses to media outlets to help ensure the press is sufficiently well informed about basic tax policy issues, and about the equity and adequacy issues at stake in specific state fiscal policy debates. In an environment where policymakers (particularly at the state level) are often uninformed about the real consequences of their tax proposals, ITEP seeks to ensure that these important fiscal policy decisions are not made in an informational vacuum.
Each year, ITEP publishes tax incidence analyses in dozens of states, responding to requests from lawmakers and non-profit groups around the nation. ITEP also has published a series of detailed reports providing in-depth insights on reform possibilities in various states. These reports have helped to influence important policy debates in Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and New York, among many others. ITEP also regularly conducts multi-state and 50-state analyses. An example of the latter type of publication is ITEP's flagship report, titled Who Pays? A Distributional Analysis of the Tax Systems in All 50 States. First published in 1996, and updated most recently in 2015, Who Pays? shows the distributional impact by income level of all major state and local taxes in each state, as well as in the District of Columbia. Its major finding is that, on average, state and local tax systems require the poorest taxpayers to pay the highest effective tax rates. The report has been used by countless policymakers, journalists, advocates, researchers, citizens, state revenue departments, legislative fiscal offices, and other key stakeholders since its publication.
Other major ITEP reports include Undocumented Immigrants' State and Local Tax Contributions, State Tax Codes As Poverty Fighting Tools, The 35 Percent Corporate Tax Myth, as well as The ITEP Guide to Fair State and Local Taxes (2011), which serves as a basic primer for policymakers and the public on the important issues associated each major tax and revenue source utilized at the state and local levels.
ITEP's analyses also frequently focus on federal policy issues. ITEP staff have advised members of Congress and their staff on tax reform options, and ITEP analyses have been among the most widely cited measures of fairness for every major federal tax proposal in the past fifteen years. Throughout its existence, the bulk of ITEP's federal-level work has been done in partnership with Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ). ITEP provides CTJ with much of the research contained in important studies released by that organization. CTJ's studies of federal corporate income taxation in the early 1980's are widely credited with fomenting an intense public debate over the wisdom of tax-based corporate subsidies. This debate eventually helped lead to a bipartisan consensus that many of these tax provisions were unwise public policy, culminating in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
ITEP and CTJ reports, such as Inequality & the Federal Budget Deficit (1991), helped inspire new thinking about tax policy that later lead to the federal tax reforms adopted in 1993. Another ITEP and CTJ report, titled The Hidden Entitlements (1996), provided a detailed analysis and critique of the hundreds of billions of dollars in hidden spending programs buried in the federal tax code.
More recently, ITEP has provided CTJ with much of the support needed to update its studies of corporate income taxes, and to analyze tax proposals put forth by members of Congress, Presidents, political candidates, other organizations, and CTJ itself.

That doesn't mean you don't reinforce the skill through training, it's just easier if the pup is already doing it right. For example my latest pup naturally, from age seven weeks, ran right out, picked up an object or bird, and ran right back to me. That just gave me a leg up over the pup who runs out there picks up the object and plays "keep-away". We all know there is going to be a lot more training ahead for the pup, just one thing that might be easier than otherwise.

Not at all, 12" and 14" look very different with this figure especially, look at this comparison to the Batman Begins 13" Action Cape figure:Originally Posted by JetsAndHeels
(from this review: http://mwctoys.com/REVIEW_050806a.htm) And that Bats figure towers over most 12" figures.
You wish! If Supes was a head taller than Bats, Supes would be almost 7' tall, that's ridiculous.That has always been the case.
I went on a small figure buying spree yesterday, picked up 3 different Mattel figures from the DC universe.
First off was JLU The Flash, I have the first JL version but his articulation sucks, this one has a new body with twice the articualtion and can do a decent running pose. His accessory is kinda "Huh?" but I don't care.
Then there was JLU Batman, again I have the original JL version and its articulation sucks. This one has the same articulation as the Flash, but doesn't use it anywhere near as well - the elbows are good, the rest doesn't look so good in use with the sculpt. Also, I don't like the cape design as much as the previous JL Bats, it's just not to my liking. And the accessory doesn't exactly make sense, it's metallic bat wings that fit over his cowl and cape, they're not wide enough for believable flight, no engines or tech, no real offensive possibilities, and all it really protects is his cape.
Finally, I bought a figure from The Batman:EXP line, Ultimate Defender Batman. The EXP line has been pretty much a washout since its inception, the packaging is awful, the accessories and gimmicks are lame, the colors are incredibly poor choices generally, and the price sucks bad. UD Bats here is indeed still overpriced, and his packaging and accessory are both lame, but the figure at least is something good, it's the newer regular Batman body but the gray is much, much darker than previous versions, almost black, and it looks tremendous. The accessory is a stupid reuse though, from EXP Criminal Capture Batman, it's a string that you place over a figure then tighten, and when you insert and twist the power core dealy a huge clear taretging panel flips out sideways, and the string's connection pops forward an inch for no apparent reason - UD Bats can't even hold it right because it's for a different figure.

Girls S-Cup Japan Results: Kamimura Wins Tournament, RENA Dominates
- Written by Dave Walsh
Earlier today at Shibuya AX, Shootboxing held its first all womens event of the year with the main attraction being the Girls S-Cup Japan Preliminary Tournament.
In the first round of the tournament, WPMF and WMC World Mini Flyweight Champion and "The Strongest Female High School Student" Erika Kamimura defeated Kanako Oka by knockout 31 seconds into the second round. To determine her opponent, MMA fighter WINDY Tomomi fell to fellow MMA fighter Miyo Yoshida by majority decision on scores of 30-30 and 30-29(x2). In the other half of the bracket, 2009 Girls S-Cup finalist V.V Mei was upset by J-Girls #3 ranked MINA after 3 rounds on scores of 30-30, 30-29 and 29-28. To wrap up the quarterfinals, MMA fighter and kickboxer Seo Hee Ham was able to pick up a majority decision over MMA fighter Emi Fujino on scores of 30-30, 30-29 and 30-28.
In the semifinals, Erika Kamimura struck quick, dispatching Miyo Yoshida by TKO just 50 seconds into the first round, sending Kamimura to the finals. In the other semifinal, Seo Hee Ham won another majority decision over MINA on scores of 30-30, 30-29 and 29-28 to set up the final that most people had expected coming into the tournament.
In the finals, Kamimura and Ham supposedly put on an entertaining fight, with Kamimura scoring a catch point on an attempted arm-triangle in the first, while Ham scored two shoot points from throws in the second. However, Kamimura was able to score a right hook that knocked down Ham in the third, which ended up being the difference in the bout as Kamimura took a unanimous decision on scores of 28-26 and 28-27(x2). The win brings the 18 year old to 22-1 with 11 TKOs and qualifies her for the next Girls S-Cup.
In non-tournament action, RENA got back to winning by knocking out "Muay Thai Idol" Zaza Sor Aree at 2:10 of the second round on a body shot. After winning back to back S-Cups, RENA was knocked down by Kamimura in an exhibition bout, then was outlasted by Ai Takahashi over five rounds, giving Takahashi the Shootboxing Mini Flyweight Championship.
Supposedly, a rematch of the exhibition bout between RENA and Kamimura has been scheduled for the November 23rd RISE event as a legitimate bout and not an exhibition. If true, expect the winner to get a shot at Ai Takahashi, as she was forced to pull out of a bout with Kamimura that was scheduled for today's event due to a fractured orbital bone.
Also in non-tournament action was RENA's younger sister MIO making her professional debut against an arm wrestling champion. MIO won by disqualification 1:52 into the first round.
Finally, notable MMA fighter HIROKO defeated Megumi Yabushita by TKO 3 seconds into the 3rd round. A matchup under MMA rules between HIROKO and Rin Nakai, who is returning on September 4th's Pancrase event, would generate a good amount of interest as the two have had trouble finding legitimate competition at a higher weight in Japan. {jcomments on}

where am i inthe cycle stage?
hello all... I am trying to figure out where in the cycling stage in at... heres the full story.....
Had a 2 month old 3.5 gallon cycling glow tank.. i went out and Upgraded to a 10g and tried to cycle it to get it ready from the fish in from old tank... as the 10 gallon is cycling i removed all decorations from smaller tank and placed them in with new (rinsed) aquarium gravel to help speed the cycling process. mean while im doing my water changes to the smaller tank and accidentally bleach poisoned the fish and frog, all died except the frog, i thre him in the new 10g tank. Had to get new fish asap(son was upset)....
First 4 days of 10 gallon tank cycle...(no fish)...(prior to bleach poisoning of small tank)..
Used all decorations to from old tank in new 10g tank Thank God cause then Id have No Bacteria To Grow Into New Tank... Tested water for about 5 days withph at 7.8, ammonia readings of around 3 nitrItes at 2 and nitrAtes at 5(nitrAtes stay at 5 from this point on).... 5 days after tank has been sitting with filter on we added new fish to 10g (keep in mind im using test strips)
**** apparently the test strips are inaccurate?, which is what i used to get these levels*****
its been a week and a half now with the fish in and we lost 2 out of 7 fish and added 4 mystery snails(just wanted 1 or 2, but petsmart gave them to me). they seem happy but im still concerned bout my levels... we have been doing daily water changes with double the dose of safe start with no significant change in levels except ph has come down.
Am I Heading In The Right Direction As Far As Getting My Tank cycled?
i went out and bought a liquid tester byt API. here are the results.,.. and other specs of tank
Ammonia looks like 1 or 2 ppm to me
Ph looks like 7.8
nitrites look like 0 ppm to me
Tank temp...78F
Tank volume.......... 10 gallon
Type of filter......... aqua-tech 10-151
All tank mates................. 4 glowfish 2 guppies and 4 mystery snails 1 dwarf frog whos lived for3 months now(from origonal tank)
Any plants..................... not sure on type.. bought from petsmart, grows 3-4" and looks like wide tall grass
Lighting.......... 18" 100 percent actinic lighting Substrate.... not sure what that is
Liquid or strip tests.........liquid
any help wuold be awseome...
p.s. the fish seem fine and ver active, swimming throughout the tank and through the bubbles and currents from filter

The API test always seems like there some ammonia when I test my water, it never looks like that shade of yellow on the card. Assuming your card is the same as mine and your nitrates are still at about 5, you, my friend, are cycled. Check again in a day just to make sure the ammonia reading is "1 or 2 ppm" just to make sure that its 0 because like I said, that shade of yellow on the card doesn't match the actual color on the test tube. Disturbing the gravel can mess up your water quality, but your tank is new so I doubt it'll have major effects.
Your ammonia level looks way too high to me, ammonia needs to be 0...use this website in conjunction with your API test card to determine your levels, you can just hold your test tube up to your monitor to compare colors: http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/downloads.html
Those "test strips" are useless and inaccurate....use your liquid test kit
++ to Slaphappy
Your tank is NOT cycled if you have any ammonia reading.
Only when both ammonia and nitrites read 0ppm is your tank cycled. Until then, you need to complete at least a 50% water change every day that your ammonia exceeds .25. And at this point, one W/C a day may not be enough.
Your goal while you're cycling is to keep the ammonia and nitrites at .25 or under and keep nitrates under 20ppm
As long as you use the API liquid test kit and follow the instructions to the letter, your readings will be accurate and they will match the card.
I'm not familiar with your filter but I'm guessing you need a second filter. You need enough filtration rated for double the size of your tank. So your 10 gallon tank needs filtration that will handle 20 gallons.
In the meantime, don't vacuum, don't clean your filter or the filter media - 90% of your beneficial bacteria is growing on your filter media so if you change it or clean it, you'll lose everything you've been working to grow.

"1 or 2." I feel dumb, I was thinking .1 or .2. Yeah, what slappy said, sorry. :(
No need to apologize, you are trying, that's what matters...what kind of de-chlorinator are you using?...Seachum's Prime is a very good one that does much more than dechlorinate...you need to be adding enough during EVERY water change that is required for your entire tank size, not just the water you are replacing

While the tank is cycling, you should be changing water often enough to keep your ammonia level at no higher than .25 - more than that is harmful to your fish. It's the liquid kit that will keep you on track - for such a small tank, you can change 50% water at a time - once the ammonia is down to .25, it will eventually drop to 0 once enough bacteria have grown in the filter. A fully cycled tank will have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites & 20ppm or less nitrates.
Fishmommie is completely correct about not touching your filter media while the tank is cycling - be VERY careful to not overfeed - feed once a day just enough for the fish to eat in a few minutes - watch them eat everything before putting in more - a tiny tiny pinch at a time.
Also, those glofish don't really belong in a 10gal tank - they will grow too large and need lots of horizontal swim space due to their activity level - they start off small but grow! If you are willing to get a larger tank (like 20gal or more), make sure to get enough filtration for double the size of the tank.
If you are going to keep the 10gal, there are more appropriate fish for that size - like neon tetras or a similar tiny fish that stays small - and you will still need more filtration.

Wireless technologies and cloud-based solutions are fueling telemedicine in Asia
Telemedicine is re-defining access to healthcare in many ways. It has, in particular, proved to be an effective solution in providing specialty healthcare, improving access and reducing costs of healthcare delivery. Telemedicine includes a growing variety of applications and services using two-way video, email, wireless phones, and other forms of telecommunications technology. In countries such as India, where a huge part of the population lives in far-flung geographical locations with very little or non-existent healthcare infrastructure, telemedicine can play a crucial role in improving access to quality doctors and treatment.
Mr Krishna Kumar, president, Philips Healthcare, said, "telemedicine will, in near future, enable healthcare access and I believe 200 percent in it". According to him, India has 1.6 million beds for a population of 1.2 billion. This translates to 1.3 beds per 1000 people. China is closest to India with 2.8 per 1000, the US average is 3.6, while the global average is 4.8 per 1000 and countries such as Japan are sitting at 6 bed per 1000 population.
He said, "That's why there is no alternative but to come up with telemedicine solution. We have been studying this for fair amount of time based on which I can say telemedicine is going to be important," he said. "If you are a stand-alone hospital, you can connect and network with nursing homes, to primary and secondary care hospitals, who want to offer good services, and this could be done via telemedicine. And this connected care system will emerge to provide quality healthcare."
The latest industry offerings
India-based eHealth Access has launched a virtual medical kiosk, which is an interactive health monitoring device with user-friendly applications. This kiosk has been designed using advanced telemedicine technology and high-end software programs. "The private medical kiosk connects patients to doctors over real-time, high-definition video conferences with wireless technology," said Mr Jayadeep Reddy, CEO and MD, eHealth Access. "We have a panel of highly proficient and dedicated doctors across all specialties. Using this virtual medical kiosk, one can get connected to a doctor of any specialty."
The kiosk is equipped with a touch screen and video camera among other features, which allows the user to talk to or chat with a doctor, hold a video conference, send e-mails and maintain personal health records. The video conferencing system connects the user with more than 500 specialists to ensure quick and easy 24x7 access to primary and preventive care services.

I suggest your create a new thread and post a link here so I and others interested in your application can help.
Time and TimeAlarms are libraries for handling time and time based tasks on Arduino. The code can be found here. This thread is for help on how to use these libraries and suggestions for future improvements.A thread specifically for discussing issues relating to updates in the beta test version can be found here (that thread will be closed after the beta testing is completed.
Hello mem,I needed to use DS1307 Real-Time Clock on a project and saw the Time library, but I thought it was too big for what I needed (just to know day, month, year, hour, minute and second from DS1307), so I decided to create a new, simple library to achieve this task and its code is at GitHub:https://github.com/turicas/DS1307I think we should integrate it, maybe creating a "driver interface" (just some conventions) so we can create drivers for many RTC chips and use the same code. What do you think?Other thing I think that should be changed in Time library is the namespace of functions. Maybe using Time.hour(), Time.day() etc. instead of directly hour(), day() etc.
/* * A simple sketch to display time from a DS1307 RTC * */#include <Time.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <DS1307RTC.h> // a basic DS1307 library that returns time as a time_tchar dateTime[20];void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); }void loop(){ setTime(RTC.get()); sprintf(dateTime, "%4d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d", year(), month(), day(), hour(),minute(), second()) ; Serial.print(dateTime); Serial.print(" - day of week: "); Serial.println(dayStr(weekday())); delay(1000);}
void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println("UnixTime simulator :) ");}void loop(){ char buffer[20]; time2string(millis(), buffer); Serial.print(millis()); Serial.print(" ==> "); Serial.println(buffer);}uint8_t daysInMonth [] = { 31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31 };void time2string(unsigned long t, char *buf){ uint8_t yOff, m, d, hh, mm, ss; ss = t % 60; t /= 60; mm = t % 60; t /= 60; hh = t % 24; uint16_t days = t / 24; uint8_t leap; for (yOff = 0; ; ++yOff) { leap = yOff % 4 == 0; if (days < 365 + leap) break; days -= 365 + leap; } for (m = 1; ; ++m) { uint8_t daysPerMonth = daysInMonth[ m - 1]; if (leap && m == 2) ++daysPerMonth; if (days < daysPerMonth) break; days -= daysPerMonth; } d = days + 1; sprintf(buf,"%4d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d", 1970+yOff, m,d, hh,mm,ss);}
Many C compilers have a function named ctime that produces a date string but I don't think its available with the arduino tools. I have always used multiple print statements to display the data, is there a reason you can't do that for your application?
incompatible types in assignment of 'time_t' to 'char [11]'
#include "stdlib.h"void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); char buffer[11]; unsigned long unixtime=1234567890L; // L for long ltoa(unixtime, buffer, 10); Serial.println(buffer); }void loop(){}
do you mean some thing like this?Code: [Select]#include "stdlib.h"void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); char buffer[11]; unsigned long unixtime=1234567890L; // L for long ltoa(unixtime, buffer, 10); Serial.println(buffer); }loop(){}(code not tested)see - http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/group__avr__stdlib.html - search for ltoa
#include "stdlib.h"void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); char buffer[11]; unsigned long unixtime=1234567890L; // L for long ltoa(unixtime, buffer, 10); Serial.println(buffer); }loop(){}
you need to add void before loop(){}allready patched in posting above.

text: Aleksandar Vuksanovic, most known as Aca Lukas (born on 3 November 1968 in Belgrade) is a popular Serbian folk singer. He started performing various music genres, from jazz to Gypsy. Aca started mixing them into special potpourris that became his trademark in years to come. His appearance was an overnight success. After "Hogar" and "Lukas", he moved on to the next stage by playing with rock singer Viktorija. Then he started a solo career. His first big hit was song called "Pesma od bola". Then he continued with other hits "Kafana na Balkanu", "Bele ruze" and many more. In 2003 he was arrested in police action "Sablja" because he possessed a non-reported gun. He was having drug and gambling problems that removed him from scene for two years. He made a comeback in 2006. He won 1st prize on "II Axal Grand Festival" in 2008. with song called "Upali svetlo". Nowadays, Lukas is renowned artist in Serbia and has some discographic success. His first concert in Belgrade Arena (03.11.2008) was on his birthday in front of more than 25,000 people. He has since had another two successive concerts in Belgrade Arena on 03.11.2010. and 04.11.2010. in front of altogether almost 50,000 people.Aca Lukas Lyrics Akordi

Interview: The Unfolding Story of BP Disaster's Impact on Gulf Shrimp
Posted On March 13, 2014 by Alexis Baldera
(This blog is part of a series of interviews with scientists who are championing marine research in the Gulf of Mexico.)
Shrimp are not just an integral part of the Gulf Coast's culture and cuisine, but they are also a pillar of its economy. The impacts of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster to this iconic animal are a great concern. Drs. Kim de Mutsert and Joris L. van der Ham of George Mason University study the oil's effects on white and brown shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico. De Mutsert specializes in applied fish ecology, estuarine ecology and ecosystem modeling, including the effects of coastal restoration scenarios on fish, shrimp and oysters in Louisiana. Van der Ham, formerly a postdoctoral researcher at Louisiana State University, is an invertebrate zoologist who has investigated the effects of the BP disaster on inshore shrimp populations. We interviewed them about their research and what more needs to be done.

It was another year and another 20 or so releases from 75orLess, the Warren-based independent label run by Mark MacDougall, which cleaned up in our Best Music Poll, with 75orLess artists voted victorious in nine categories. The label has already struck again — this time via vinyl — as Six Star General, which features MacDougall on bass, and the Blood Moons team up for a split 12-inch platter of gnarled garage rock, with Six Star working in a few extra layers of stoner fuzz on These Woods Smell Like Grape, while the crunchy, love-gone-awry numbers on the Blood Moons' self-titled side find singer/guitarist Chris Guaraldi (who started out with his "garage pop punk-core" outfit Chris Evil & the Taints) channeling early Devo, Dinosaur Jr, and Mission of Burma.
The New Bedford-based quartet has a knack for catchy, midtempo hooks; "You Don't Love Me Anymore" opens the double-EP with a nod to Guaraldi's affinity for "1960s garage rock and 1980s college rock," as he stated via email. "Glassy Eyes" and "What You Do To Me" are standouts, but "You're Alone" steals the show.
Drummer Dan Ulmschneider joined SSG mates MacDougall and guitarist Kyle Jackson on a full-time basis following the release of '09's Take Your Teeth Out (Dan also plays drums for labelmates Coma Coma, voted Best Local Act and Album at the BMPs). His skills behind the kit have elevated Six Star's overall sound, particularly onstage, where you'll usually hear a few phonetic chants of "oolm-sha-vi-daaah!" while he bashes with Jackson's wah-wah fury and MacDougall's chugging basslines.
"We're still figuring out everything Dan is capable of," MacDougall said. "He's also an amazing singer and does a badass Michael McDonald impression."
On the new disc, the trademark squalls of distortion provided by Kyle and his pedal board ignite the B-side opener, "Sonic Boom," along with plenty of Crybaby pedal fuzz on the following "Manchester Divided." "Gasoline" is a slow burner similar to classic SSG cuts like "Fixin' the Fan with Bo" and "Ode to Cheryl Ladd" from 2009's Spaceship to Planet Cookie. Slick MacDougall's voice is gruffer than ever, and sounds like he's sailing off a cliff on personal favorite "No Know No." SSG are known for their wide-ranging covers (from Credence Clearwater to Butthole Surfers and a bloodthirsty rendition of the Flaming Lips' "Jesus Shooting Heroin"), and here we get a vocal duet with Jodie Treolar on T. Rex's "Life's a Gas."
A limited press run of 200 LPs was released last month, with screenprinted, hand-numbered jackets fresh from MacDougall's garage, which doubles as the 75orLess production center. The disc is available at 75orlessrecords.com ($15 with shipping), and includes an instant download link.
The trio recently teamed up with producer and friend Kraig Jordan at Plan of A Boy studio (housed in a small garage), where some of Six was recorded, and they just wrapped up Splinter, another full-length, which is due out in March. "Recording with Kraig has taught us to start thinking about the layers of the music," MacDougall told me earlier this week. "Kraig is always picking up new gear and plug-ins, and we are the proud Plan of a Boy studio gear guinea pigs."

OXFORD – The demolition of the Downtown Inn to build a new boutique hotel in its place has been rescheduled from this month to sometime in the spring.
The current structure began as a Holiday Inn in the early 1960s. Among the obsolescent features that prompted the present owner group to propose a ground-up rebuild are exterior room entrances and a lack of facilities for business travelers.
Chamblee Hospitality Group, which has owned the property since 2002, won neighborhood and municipal support with plans to expand from 100 rooms to 125 on a smaller footprint, more greenspace and an early 1900s "Chicago streetscape" architectural style. Its antique brick façade was touted as better fitting the site, which adjoins both the downtown business district and one of Oxford's oldest residential neighborhoods.
The change is schedule is explained as allowing for extra design input.
Luke Chamblee, president of the Flowood-based owner group, said the changehis company has spent extra time communicating with both Oxford residents and travelers and tweaking details in response to their feedback.
"Since the initial announcement, the new development, named 'Hotel Indigo Oxford,' has been expanded to include additional private offices for corporate travelers, two board rooms, expanded banquet rooms, increased food service capacity, 10 total luxury suites, 24-hour room service and an expanded rooftop veranda and bar," he said.
He added that the Indigo Hotel Group "recognize Oxford's unique history, and they will allow us to build a destination hotel that will meet all the needs of the corporate visitor while also meshing seamlessly with Oxford's historic Square district. We are Ole Miss alumni, and we will not start construction until the design meets all these goals."
Current timelines call for demolition next spring and a Summer 2014 opening.

The heaviest interplanetary spacecraft launched is about to become one of the most dangerous man-made objects to fall from space when it crashes to the ground next month.
The $245 million Russian Phobos-Ground probe was destined to land on a moon of Mars but problems soon after launch last month meant it was stuck in an unstable, low-Earth orbit.
Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, said yesterday that the truck-sized probe, weighing 13.2 tonnes and laden with 11 tonnes of toxic rocket fuel and 10kg of radioactive cobalt-57, would fall to Earth between January 7 and 20.
The agency said it could not calculate the crash site until a few days before the probe re-entered the atmosphere but it would pose little danger to people on the ground.

Forget Agile, try Software Engineering.
Here are some tips on my new methodology in no order for software engineers and management. It's not XP/Scrum or any take on Agile because NONE of this is Agile in definition, manner or anything else. I like to call it, "Software Engineering (or SW for short)". I'm gonna make this short and I'm not going to qualify anything because I don't feel like I should have to.
- Should you need someone to tell you to chop up your project into smaller units that are more easily digested? You're a bad manager/team lead/leader/whatever you are calling yourself. Needless to say a two or three year old is smarter than you and that MBA money went to waste.
- If something is a smaller unit, that doesn't make the problem you are trying to solve through programming or anything else any easier.
- If you need someone to tell you that you need to sit down and discuss what you plan to do before you do it? You're a bad manager/team lead/leader/whatever you are calling yourself.
- If there are more bad than good things to say about something. It is rotten, throw it out.
- No external force can run your company better than you and your employees.
- Team building involves no methodology, it's a constant reassessing and making tough decisions. You want to make your weak programmers strong and reward your stronger programmers appropriately. If you need someone to tell you this. You're a bad manager/team lead/leader/whatever you are calling yourself.
- If you are a programmer that can't say "I don't know, i've never done it before" or "This will take too long for X reasons" and/or "I don't know anything about X". Grow some backbone, you seriously aren't all knowing either so stop acting like a dick.
- If you are a manager practicing Agile in any context. You're a bad manager/team lead/leader/whatever you are calling yourself.
- There's nothing Agile about agile; Work is work, someone has to do it no matter how you cut it up. Agile doesn't make your resources work faster, more smoothly or any of that. Building a comprehensive team does that; not some methodology.
- Why can't you all be like Google and have the best programmers/admins working for you? You don't reward or pay a decent salary, and then on top of that you use crappy ass tools. Google is only successful because good programmers decide to work for Google; not because they have some secret sauce. That's how it works for ANYTHING. When the best people want to work for you well then you're gonna corner any market they are in. If all of Google's programmers left tomorrow they'll be a closed shop soon as those programmers go to Doogle.com or whatever.
- How can I get the best programmers working for me? Choose the best tools and only the best tools. They will come looking for you; guaranteed. In your next job posting put "We like to use these tools, because they are the fucking best most awesome kickass tools available and we are building great shit." Also, i'd recommend not having HR write up the copy and less the profanities. Keep it simple, short and to the point. See what type of reaction you get.
- Software engineering is mentally draining. It's not like filing papers. It isn't rote, so you can't treat your employees like it's some factory line.
- The best feedback you get is from your programmer and if he/she gives you a comprehensive reason on why X is horse shit and it makes sense. Heed that warning.
- Here's a typical stakeholder request. "I want to go to Mars". Here's a typical agile response "Lets break that story down into tasks and see how best we can do this if possible or break the overall problem into multiple sprints". Here's a typical Christopher Warner SW response "Well, I don't know if i'm in the right room at present but this is not fucking NASA, there would have to be a lot of work to get there maybe you should think about getting to Florida first".
- Here's a typical Agile question "If you're in a space and lost your tether and you had X tools which one would be best to use in aide of saving your life". Here's a typical agile response "The gun would be best". Here's a typical Christopher Warner response "You're fucked". It doesn't matter what tools you have at that point. The idea is to NEVER lose your tether so you never have to make that decision.
- How do I know I have a good programmer/admin? He or she is usually busy getting shit done, and pretty much needs little to no management. They tell you what's going on, how things are progressing. What issues problems, concerns they may have etc. Pretty much everything is quiet on the front when they are around.
- How do I get a team of good programmers? Good programmers will want to work with good programmers. Primarily because when one gets lost it pays to have a decent wing man or someone who can say "Welllllllsssssstttt this isn't working because you're a fucking idiot and wrote this module wrong, you're a dumbass. We'll work it out over lunch.. you know what?? lets finish this in X's office she's working on some similar shit; we'll order up. Bang this out and then hit the gym, after the beer you buy me. It always taste different when you buy it".
- How do I reward my team? Contrary to popular belief, money is on the top of the list but sans that proper recognition. Beers and pizzas and all that shit, save it for highschool. At the very least offer expensive liquor, we are all adults here.
- How can I be a better manager/team lead/leader/whatever you are calling yourself? Make sure the road is paved and fill in potholes. When something from the top comes down that is horse shit? Say "This is horse shit". Don't go back to your team with a "This is horse shit but we have no choice." Say "This is horse shit, I said it's horse shit and I explained the detrimental waste of fucking time. They still want to do it. Of course, you guys are free to do something more awesome and when asked I'll show them more awesome with a, my apologies, I guess this more awesome thing I have right here will have to suffice" or "Sorry we just can't fucking do this stakeholders.. It's just not possible for X reasons, the top one being that I know my job better than you and this request is simply in management lingo, UNpossible". Wrap that in termination free language; unless you happen to be in a mood in which case have another job already lined up and be sure some of your team can come. Don't want to abandon them.
- "I don't know anything about computers I just want a measurement of when I can expect things!" When it's done, or accept variable estimates. Unless for some reason you believe the art of writing a program to be a measurable unit of work. In which case, let me explain. Writing a program is much like being an artist. You start with a blank canvas with a couple of constructs and then you have to take whatever came out of the human MIND and create a reality out of it. Think it's easy? Think of anything you have never done before until now.. Now go build it, but before you do. Tell me when it's gonna be done. I'll wait.
- Anything successful takes a long time of proper foundation building, team building and regression. If you don't have that or experience it. You will not be successful. It's that simple there is no methodology or luck involved besides hard work and building a good team. FOR ANYTHING.
Ok that's enough. I hope you apply "Software Engineering" as a method to your next project; even if it isn't software.

 Size Doesn't Matter
For a department that consists of a lead instructor and three part time instructors, big things are happening in Interior Design at CFCC's North Campus.Â
When Patricia Battershill, lead instructor, made the move from Fort Lauderdale two years ago, she found herself a part of a department that had already exceeded its high expectations.  But don't let this woman fool you…she is a true instructional gem.
Student-Centered Instruction
One of the most impressive facets of the I-Design program is the blend of student-centered learning and scaffolding. The program is designed for courses to be completed in "blocks" with 2 rotations of 16 students. Ideally, each group of 16 students completes the courses and program together.
In the Beginning
During first semester, students are introduced to interior design concepts and principles. Then, students are asked to apply these concepts to design a project of their own selection.
The open project is intended to embrace the students' individual style and creativity. Battershill believes this builds student confidence and understanding in their work and learning. As the students advance through the program, parameters are established and projects increase in complexity.
 Bring in the Pros
At the end of a group's final fall semester, Interior Designers from the local community are brought in for a professional review. The local pro's are treated to a review session of projects completed by students. Each student is then provided with individual feedback from interior design professionals in our community. This allows students to reflect and adjust their work in preparation of their final semester.Â
Capstone: The finale
The foundation has been built. It's time to add the finishing touches. During the final semester, the students are b-u-s-y
- Putting together their portfolio. Both digitally and in an 8.5 x 11 binder.
- Learning the ins and outs of self-marketing.
- Final exam, 1 day assessment: students are presented a project and required to draft, space plan, and articulate in writing their concepts for materials.
- Participating in the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) local chapter's design competition. **Note, in 2008 CFCC Interior Design swept the competition with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
The Goods
 Both classrooms in the Interior Design Department provide each student with their own individual workspace.  The student workstation includes:Â
- drafting table
- computer with Internet access, AutoCAD (engineering, design software) and Photoshop
Other noteworthy "goodies" for the students include a cooperative learning center which includes: movable desks and chairs, large HD television, Elmo presenters, scanners, design supplies, and yes, even the kitchen sink! Adjoining is the lighting lab which also connects to a high-end sample room.
Needless to say, the Interior Design graduates are true 21st century citizens and career ready. The graduates are comfortable with working relationships. They are self reflecting. These Interior Designers are skilled and innovative.
Click here to check out student portfolios! Â
Author's Note: My original intent was to feature the development process of the student's digital portfolios but during my interview with Ms. Battershill, I realized that the Interior Design program itself is the real story.

Pros: Price, look
Cons: Extremely weak bass
Recently bought a pair of these ear-buds (the white version - off eBay from KEI Electronics UK).
Turned out a big disappointment due to an almost complete lack of bass.
I tried pressing them hard against my ears, and only then I could hear some half-decent lows. Obviously, I wouldn't be able to use them like that.
So, beware.

What would we do without Alison of The Knotty Bride? Who knows! She is one of the best bloggers out there for sure. Well, hopefully while she is out of town, my fabulous ideas and inspiration will suffice for the time being. I'm Allison from Engaged and Inspired bringing you some fantastically cute themed weddings which I am oh so jealous of!
Taking on a theme is rather challenging because the couple has to pick something they love, but not make it cheesy! These weddings get uber brownie points for creativity. Taking a theme and making it chic and modern is such an incredible venture and when it is done right, it's major wedding eye candy.
Scrabble is such a darling concept for a wedding. Really anything can be done when you get to put together little wooden tiles and make them say anything you want.
{Photo book: Made by Re:Paper via weddingbee / Love photo: Jean Tsai / Scrabble Cake: flickr / Save the Date: The Sweetest Occasion / Scrabble Pillows: Bedzine}
People make the most fascinating and creative little additions such as those amazing scrabble pillows, which make doing a theme wedding that much more modern and creative.

George: I'm George Takei.
I'm a person ...a Trekkie,
and a bow tie enthusiast.
I need to talk to you about
something very important;
marriage equality.
This is a typical American neighborhood;
friendly faces and quiet streets ...
But there is one person
living on this street
who's orientation threatens
to destroy society.
There's Dale Wilson struggling
with his lawn mower.
What you can't tell about
Dale is that he's sick.
He opposes marriage equality.
Dale looks normal, but he gives off clues
of his prejudice with buzz words like
pro-family, traditional marriage or
pole smoker.
Dale wants to restrict
marriage to a man and a woman.
He doesn't care whether
the couple just met
on a drunken trip to Vegas, a reality show
or if they're only
marrying for a green card.
Dale would let any two idiots marry unless
those two idiots are gay.
Dale likes to say that same-sex
couples will hurt marriage,
but Dale has been divorced twice.
His third marriage to Joan is, well ...
take a look at her ...
she doesn't look happy, does she?
Dale's dangerous opinions threaten to keep
over 1,110 rights away from gay couples;
everything from tax
deductions to property rights.
But that's not the worst part ...
The most offensive symptom
of Dale's ignorance
is that he robs same-sex couples
of their big, gay wedding.
Nobody throws a wedding
better than the gays;
The music, the flowers, the costumes.
A party like that could
cure Dale's illness
if only he wasn't so sick.
The good news is that
feelings are changing.
Many people are evolving
into champions of equality
by participating in reparative therapy
that includes watching a Broadway musical,
attending a WNBA game, buying a bow tie,
or simply meeting a gay person.
The most important thing to remember
when dealing with people who don't support
marriage equality, is to be kind.
They are most likely hiding
their own homosexuality.
Besides, these people
don't know they're being

The REAL problem is that there are tons of folks out there who have NO number sense and wouldn't even question Water's number. I know that there are quite a few folks working more than one job, but with a population less than 200 mil in the 18-65 cohort, losing 170 mil jobs seems a bit extreme.

No doubt her biggest value is entertainment and mockery, but it does make me cringe to think about her having a vote on anything to to with passing laws and governing. Makes me wonder about the collective intelligence about a district that would elect her, too.
