post from StPete
Thank for this great blog about StPete...I live here more then 10 years and i love this town, and not only it's gorgeous part...
Actually i'm starting to plan my trip right now, which will be (i hope) next year...i'm going to visit Australia, and i hope i will catch ur country's mood as u did...=)
St Pete's - it's all a festive blur

Anyway, there's plenty else to see in St Pete's, even if you only have six hours of light per day (and you just used four indoors). Our next stop was St Isaac's cathedral, a monumental church with the largest red marble columns I've seen in my short but sweet existence. All carved out of single pieces of rock by the way. And these weren't only on the ground floor, the colonnade up the top there has almost as massive columns, 30 or 40 metres above ground! I wouldn't have liked to be a hapless serf with these tsars around...
Apparently inside is a bit gaudy so we climbed up to the colonnade viewing platform more than 300 stairs up, to be met by quite a view indeed. Unfortunately the powers that be in their infinite wisdom insist on blasting the platform with spotlights from every angle, saturating the area in white light that bores through your retina and camera lens with mind-numbing intensity. Excuse me while I kiss the sky. Still, landmarks are faintly visible through the aura and pictures were possible with my less than special touch, which left me satisfied in the end.
Onwards and southwestwards we quickly hit Senate Square, where a dashing bronze statue of Peter the Great on horseback adorns an lump of strangely carved rock. Those wacky Decemberists, the guys eventually exiled to Irkutsk and hence mentioned in an earlier entry, met here to demand a bit of justice in the form of an unsuccessful coup d' etat. Oops. Poet Pushkin also featured it in one of his poems.
Despite the statue's infamy more interesting was the neighbouring Church of the Spilt Blood - a catchy name indeed which was inspired by the spilt blood of a very popular tsar brutally 'done in' on the site. On a par with St Basil's in its extravgant decoration, it's definitely worth a visit.
And when I thought I couldn't stand any more, we returned to the hostel to find a bunch of rowdy but friendly Moscovite recruiters partying in an adjoining room. They shared some vodka and beer, we shared some vodka and wine and before I knew it, we were out on the town to find some fun. That eventually meant Cafe Magrib, a great little dance club with a fantastic DJ that didn't miss a beat, so I ended up having an well deserved big night out with some very cool guys. Thanks Natalia, George and the rest of the gang for letting me tag along!
Next day was difficult as you might imagine. Fortunately Leigh and Amanda had organised to go to the ballet and see the Nutcracker Suite so I had the morning off to nurse a surprisingly mild hangover and see off new friends who were heading back to Moscow. It wasn't til late afternoon that we got out sightseeing, with the Peter-Paul fortress in our sights. Again it was a case of people in this neck of the woods building immensely tall structures, so much so that the Germans used the spire of the fortress as a sighting target during the seige of Leningrad (as St Petersburg was named back then). Still, it's an attractive building glowing gold in the gloaming.
We couldn't get in to the museum, something about too many rug-rats (children) hanging about yet again, so off we went to Kazan Cathedral because it just happened to be Russian Orthodox Christmas Eve that very day. The cathedral itself (modelled on St Peter's in Rome) loomed large with its imposing columns of shiny grey marble and towering statues, but the sombre atmosphere held an air of quiet festivity in the milling crowds. Pretty holy stuff in progress no doubt.
We arrived early in proceedings, around 6pm which happened to be the start of the main event. Some chanting, smoke waving, icon kissing and general praying ensued. Despite being outsiders we weren't troubled and felt a soothing peacefulness as things progressed around us. We were treated to a glimpse behind heavy gilt doors that only open once a year - today. After checking these sights out, plus a variety of paintings and relics, we thought it best to move on and leave things to the professionals. Still, it was pleasing way to conclude the tour and end another busy day.
Leigh and Amanda were packed on a train that night to Poland. Thanks guys for your company across China, Mongolia and Russia and I hope you have a wonderful time during the next three months as you wind your way to the UK. You've done the hard work now on this your maiden journey, so keep trekkin!
I ended up staying an extra day in St Petersburg, giving me a chance to wander the streets and catch up with Pushkin (the statue), Putin (the doll) and a bunch of chocolate in the Chocolate museum that I'm sure all female readers will be requesting more information about. In all, this is one very classy place that I will look forward to returning to, preferably in summer when it will really shine.
Next entry -> maybe a summary of Russia, maybe straight to Estonia
Freak of the Week
I haven't featured a freak for a while because I haven't met anyone cool enough to qualify, which may say something about the company I keep or just that I haven't had the chance to get to know anyone due to speed of travels. Anyway Mitra, aka Dimitri, our city guide for Moscow qualifies for this rare honour, so trust me mate and don't take it as an insult!
Dimitri is an extremely well-travelled Muscovite of 22 who speaks great English, some European languages (no doubt) and a year's worth of Japanese just to top it off. He's a journalism student and part time army lieutenant who's very knowledgeable in Russian history and general knowledge about his city. Couple this with his energetic delivery, patience and interest in learning some of the finer points of Australian slang and you've got a first rate city guide who will take you to all the hippest joints if you could only keep up. No wonder the ladies love him.
Cheers for a great insight into your city mate - 'avagoodone boarding France next week!

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Influenza Surveillance Program (CISP) is a collaborative effort between CDPH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Kaiser Permanente, California local health jurisdictions and the participating California sentinel providers and sentinel laboratories. Influenza surveillance in California is particularly important due to its coastal location with several ports of entry for flights and shipping from Asia. Annual influenza epidemics follow a winter seasonal pattern in the United States with typical activity peaking during late December to early February. CDPH obtains and analyzes clinical, pharmacy and laboratory data year-round in an effort to determine the timing and impact of influenza activity and to determine how well circulating strains of the virus match those used in the current influenza vaccines.

Web Stories
Perspective on: Saving and spending
Posted December 15, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Name: Sheldon Garon
Title: Nissan Professor in Japanese Studies. Professor of history and East Asian studies.
Scholarly focus: Modern and contemporary Japan, with broader interests in the transnational history of ideas and institutions. Garon's most recent book is "Beyond Our Means: Why America Spends While the World Saves," published this fall by Princeton University Press.
Why did you write "Beyond Our Means," which asks why some nations promote saving, while others, specifically the United States, want its citizens to spend?
The book evolved. In its final form, I spotlight the developments, historical and recent, that shaped America's unsustainable culture of debt. In the wake of the 2008 housing and financial meltdown, it has become painfully clear that millions of American households lack the savings to protect themselves against home foreclosures, job losses, medical emergencies and impoverished retirements.
Initially, I planned to write a history exclusively about the Japanese state's efforts to promote saving since the late 19th century. But the more I researched, the more I realized that Japan adopted many of its savings-promotion mechanisms, such as the postal savings system and school savings programs, from contemporary European nations. To this day, the major economies of continental Europe — notably Germany and France — boast high household saving rates. I also discovered that rising Asian economies — China included — modeled their savings-promotion programs after Japan's. My book evolved into a truly global history of how many nations around the world transformed their people into savers, while institutions and policies in the United States historically did less to encourage "small saving" and increasingly promoted consumption and borrowing.
Among the G-8 leading industrial countries, the United States has had very low saving rates and high income inequality, while Western European countries such as Germany and France have high saving rates and low income inequality. What is behind this?
In general, the high-saving economies of Europe have higher levels of income equality, whereas the United States scores much lower in both inequality and saving rates. This perplexes many economists who believe that generous welfare states and policies of redistribution tend to discourage personal saving. Instead what may be happening is that social benefits keep Western Europeans from falling into destitution and thereby contribute to decent saving rates overall. In the United States, by contrast, the lack of sturdy safety nets results today in growing numbers of struggling households that simply cannot save.
I'd add that Japan boasted some of the world's highest household saving rates in the 1970s, but its rates have dropped in recent years to well below those of several European nations.
This 1936 savings campaign poster from Japan with the words "Diligence, Thrift and Savings Day" depicts schoolchildren putting aside money. (Poster by Yūsei Kenkyūjo, Modanizumu no jidai, 13. Courtesy of the Communications Museum, Japan.)
The United States, Western Europe and Japan all have embraced consumerism. Why is there such a difference in saving and spending?
To be sure, Japanese and Western European economies experienced "consumer revolutions" in the 1950s, and thereafter their peoples enjoyed rising levels of consumption. Yet we should not think that the other advanced economies have embraced consumerism to the degree of Americans. Levels of consumption remain far below the United States in countries like Japan, Germany and Sweden.
Moreover, credit for consumption and housing has been much less available in the high-saving countries. Most Japanese pay their credit card bills in full, and few people in the major continental European countries own a genuine credit card that allows one to borrow the unpaid balance. Home equity loans are rare in Japan and Germany, and down payments on home mortgages are typically higher than in the United States. As a rule, less credit generally results in higher saving.
How did the notion of "individual savings" evolve?
Although human beings have always put aside food or property for times of want, only in the last 200 years have ordinary people saved money in banks. Beginning in Europe around 1800, reformers and political authorities encouraged working- and middle-class households to save small sums in newly created savings banks. They believed that working people with savings would be less likely to turn to crime, revolution and the dole. In addition to savings banks, reformers and states gradually established nationwide postal savings banks, school savings programs and war savings campaigns in the two world wars.
This 1918 poster from the United States appeals to the legend of the heroine Joan of Arc in an effort to encourage women to save. (Poster by Haskell Coffin. Reproduced by permission of the Robert D. Farber University Archives and Special Collections Department, Brandeis University.)
How important are government policies and institutions in encouraging savings?
Very important. My book shows that people tend to save more when they are offered accessible, convenient and safe savings institutions. In the United States today, some 25 percent of lower-income households are "unbanked" — often because our banks charge them hefty fees and require high minimum balances. It is very difficult to save regularly under those circumstances.
What's the relationship between policy initiatives and cultural attitudes?
While many love to talk about Japanese, Korean or German culture as being innately thrifty, I show how the various cultures of saving have been shaped and reshaped by states and institutions. "Moral suasion" campaigns, such as Americans and citizens of other countries experienced in the two world wars, have also been influential in inculcating enduring habits of saving. Indeed, East Asian and European nations went beyond the United States in developing nationwide savings campaigns in peacetime as well — particularly among schoolchildren and housewives.
The current economic situation in the United States and other countries puts into sharp relief the perils of "living beyond our means." What would need to change for these dangers to be less severe in the future? What could be done now?
In 1955, the Japanese government released this poster, "Keep a Balance in Life," noted in characters at the top, asking its populace to balance consumer desires against the needs of accumulating sufficient savings. The rest of the text states: "Savings accounts at the post office: Not only safe. They pay good interest." (Image courtesy of the Communications Museum, Japan, XD-C52)
My book concludes with several policy recommendations based on what has worked in other countries and in our past. These include 1) improving small savers' access to banks, 2) encouraging banks to offer small savers' accounts, 3) possibly reviving postal savings both to improve access and save the Postal Service, 4) promoting youth saving in schools and banks, 5) revising tax laws to encourage low- and middle-income individuals to build assets, 6) better regulating predatory lending, and 7) promoting universal access to savings accounts in terms of democracy and "financial inclusion."
What from this work do you bring to your classes at Princeton? What do you hope students will learn?
I often lecture to my students about the Japanese state's historical efforts to promote saving, and I teach them how to read messages contained in the ubiquitous savings posters of 20th-century Japan. I am considering offering a more global course on the history of saving, consumption and credit — perhaps as a freshman seminar.

I've been reading the cdent and jeremy diary entries regarding the AgendaMaker stuff that Chris has been writing. It's an interesting conundrum, how information should move in an organization. It's obviously an evolving process.
The issue that both are getting at (it seems to me) is whether information in an org should flow heirarchically (that is, up to a manager level and then nav the tree back down in a prioritised way), or on a peer-to-peer level. What does seem to happen, it sounds like at their org, is that the information flows are discussed in an either or way. I don't expect that Chris is plotting things in that way, but it certainly sounds like the org-voices do.
Of course, in a healthy org, there can be hybrid approaches. Chris seems (based on discussions with him) to feel that agendamaker can be used to direct but not drive discussion. This may be true, and thus it becomes a more subordinate item than it is being perceived as - less a threat to the standing order of things than it seems presently, but more an enabling tool.
Oughta check out the code. Looks interesting and like something we can use, but I'd want to see more integration with workflow (and messaging, given my own org's focus).
There's still a lot of rumination to transpire on this. I think there are deeper issues I still feel I should comment upon.

Do you think it is okay to have them all together, or should I have them give him rabies tomorrow and his regular shot later? (Say in a week or so?)

Or lakeside summer camp massacre.
The artwork adorning the labels was created by none other than Adrienne King – Alice from the original movie and its sequel. To celebrate Crystal Lake Wine, filmmakers Curtis and Dallas of DCWorldHome, have teamed up with director Victor Bonacore of Chainsaw Kiss Productions, and Adrienne King to make a commercial titled "Back to the Lake."
"Back to the Lake" was shot at the same location as the original 1980 movie Friday the 13th in which Adrienne King plays Alice Hardy, the sole survivor of the Friday the 13th Massacre, and the first victim of Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 2.
"Back to the Lake" takes place on Saturday the 14th, the morning after the infamous massacre. While Alice is in her hospital bed waking up from what seemed to have been a horrible dream, we return to Crystal Lake where a late-coming, unknowing and probably quite hung-over camp counsellor seems to have stumbled upon a nightmare of his own…
Adrienne King reprises her role as the voice of Alice and narrates us through the lone counsellor's nightmare in "Back to the Lake", which you can check out here.
Crystal Lake Wines are planning a few events in May, including a Toast Across The Country on Friday 13th, May. Also, at the Maryland 'Monster Mania Convention' in June, DVD's of the commercial, complete with a 'Behind the Scenes' feature of its creation, will be given to patrons.
So, why not uncork a bottle, kick back and treat yourself to a lovely Spring Friday the 13th movie marathon. You know you want to.

Are gold-mining stocks cheap enough to buy? Nope, says Jefferies analysts Peter Ward. In a note today, he writes:
Given the dramatic decline in share prices, some may perceive gold equities as inexpensive. We strongly disagree. In our opinion, gold equities have rarely been more expensive when we incorporate current gold prices. Despite a quintupling of the commodity price from 2003 to 2011, the gold mining majors generated little to no free cash flow. On our estimates, the majors are likely to generate negative free cash flow over the next several years. That said, the gold price will need to decline even further before existing mines cut production. And, we doubt that modest production cuts will do much to support the gold price in the medium term. Gold has a far larger and more liquid above ground stockpile than most other mined commodities. Therefore, the cost of production is not as relevant in determining the commodity price as it might be in say copper.
Jefferies now forecast gold at $1,250, down from $1,500. As a result they've they cut their ratings on gold stocks one notch each. Goldcorp (GG), Kinross Gold (KGC) and Newmont Mining (NEM) all drop to Underperfrom, while Barrick Gold (ABX) is cut to Hold.
Ward's favorite trade, however, is a pair trade–long gold and short the miners. He explains:

Moon Rock Countertops
Optical Mineralogy and Petrography
Student Exploration
Have you ever seen anything like this? What do you think this is?
Would you believe that this could be a slice of your kitchen countertop? This image of the igneous rock, benzatite, is a very thin slice that was put under a cross-polarized light microscope. Petrologists use rock thin sections like this one to learn more about the composition of the rock and the temperature and pressure conditions that were present during the rock's formation.
Could petrologists use this same technique to better understand rock samples that have been collected over the years from the surface of the moon?
Extension Investigation
- Practice being a petrologist yourself! Here is a sample of gabbro: Use http://www.open.ac.uk/earth-research/tindle/AGT/AGT_Home_2010/Object-S276-gabbro.html Use the following link to manipulate a virtual microscope that is focused on a thin section of that same piece of gabbro:http://www.virtualmicroscope.co.uk/sites/www.virtualmicroscope.co.uk/files/imagecache/400px/gabbro%20xpl.JPG
- In the virtual microscope, the first view is of plane polarized light. If you click on the xpl option on the bottom left, the image will be reloaded in cross-polarized light. What happens when you do this? Write down your observations.
- On the bottom of the image, there is also a zoom option. Click on the plus sign to increase the magnification on the thin section. What do you notice? Write down your observations.
- At the top right of the image, there are four options (r1, r2, r3, and r4) that zoom in to four particular places on the thin section. Click on one of them. It will show the plane polarized view and the cross-polarized view side by side. Make a sketch of the view.
- After using all of these tools on the virtual microscope, how do you think that petrologists determine the rock's composition? How do you think that they determine the pressure and temperature of the rock's formation?
- Compare the three types of rocks under the virtual microscope! Use the links above for the igneous rock type. For sedimentary rocks, use this sample of limestone: For http://www.virtualmicroscope.co.uk/projects/sediment/crinoidal-limestone-slide For metamorphic rocks, use this sample of schist: What http://www.virtualmicroscope.co.uk/projects/metamorphic/garnet-mica-schist-slide What is similar? What is different? What data from these three thin sections help to identify them as sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic?
- Do you think that rocks from the moon look similarly in thin section? Let's take a look! The following two samples are actual samples from the surface of the moon that were collected during the Apollo 17 mission in December of 1972. Sample A: Sample http://www.virtualmicroscope.co.uk/projects/moonrocks/78235-norite-melt-vein-slide Sample B: For http://www.virtualmicroscope.co.uk/projects/moonrocks/70017-high-titanium-basalt-slide For each sample, draw a sketch. Under each sketch predict the rock type (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic) and provide an explanation for your prediction.

As Dutch/Kohl's lifeblood seeps from his body, Jax and Tara get it on! What a show!!
As Dutch/Kohl's lifeblood seeps from his body, Jax and Tara get it on! What a show!!
Gemma's talk with the porn queen was interesting.
Tonight was a great show. I saw Kim Coates in Smallville playing an FBI Agent. Hes a guy named Kim - the one on Sons of Anarchy that ****s dead people (supposedly) and got bit in the *** by the guard dog.
Im still figuring out who all the actors are that play which characters. I mean duh: I could read the official website, but its sort of fun this way. Anyway, Kim Coates is a good actor. Hes such scum on SoA and on Smallville, he was totally believeable as the complete opposite - some clean-shaven Federal agent.
Anyway, Im liking Jax with Tara. I still think shes pregnant or will be soon. My friend said it was too soon for her to have morning sickness, so the reason she threw up was because of shaken nerves from what just went down with Agent Kohn.
The Mayan boss was pretty cold. I gathered that was his own SON that he served up to be killed at the churro stand? Thats really cold. I thought family was everything to his clan? If he did that, hell still want Clay dead for sure. And Clay will send a surrogate gunning for him.
Anyway, I just like the feel of this show. I feel family-loyalty coming over me with Jax and the gang. Gemmas still hard to bear, but I like Jax and Clay. I know those two will eventually be headed for war, and it will be hard to watch. But then, Im with Jax all the way.
Jax almost decided he was all the way in tonight, too. When he threw the journal into the funeral pyre - I thought - thats it: hes all in. But then he surprised me by rescuing the book at the last minute. That was a great scene. Sometimes its the little things like that which make this show great.
Oh - and when Clay hurt his hand beating up the Nord boss in the sheriffs holding cell. This show has so many great characters!
Good ep.
I can see Tara getting pregnant, but not yet. The sight of the blood on the bathroom floor made her hurl.
I kinda expected the Mayan boss's son to pay for his transgressions but not at the churro stand!
I like the old cop, Unser, more and more.
And Ally Walker is back next week!
Great show tonight! I was really surprised when Otto beat the crap out of that woman ATF agent.
BTW, recognize Otto as the Armean enforcer that cut off feet in The Shield? His first line was "Jesus Christ." On The Shield, Vic first described him with the line, "Jesus Christ over there is the shooter."
I wonder if they're going to kill the Prospect's little girlfriend (Cherry or Rita - whatever her real name is)?
Good episode. Ally Walker got the crap knocked out of her!!! Wow! Yet she had fun, too.
I think we won't see Rita/Cherry again.
Holy ****! I thought "That's so ****ed up!"
I didn't think Opie was going to die. I wasn't sure, but I didn't think so.
Then I thought they'd figure out who the witness who could ID Bobby was, and waste her.
But Donna? Innocent Donna who didn't do anything?!
That **** is messed up!
The shoot-out with the Mayans and One-Niners was pretty cool, too. There was a lot of action in this show. I think it was the best episode of SoA yet - but man will it be PAINFULLY memorable, too.
And Clay knows what Tig did - and how badly they both ****ed up. On top of my suspicions that Gemma and Clay conspired to kill John Teller (Jax's supposed dad), now Clay is in on this.
I hope Jax and Opie learn the real truth and wage war! There's so much cause for revenge!
What do producers have against Sprague Graydon? Huh??? I liked Donna.
Good ep. I think hell's coming to Charming next week.
Nice wrap-up to the first season. Jax and Piney getting together will be interesting.
FX is already teasing the new season!!! I can't wait!!!!!
Very cool. I don't think it starts until September, correct?

I am not trying to be mean with this. I really am genuine when I say this.
Are you really ready for a child? I don't think you even work and you haven't even went back to get your GED. How are you going to provide for this child? Are you just going to perpetuate the cycle of drug dealing and a life of crime that you yourself said you were involved in? Have you seriously given thought to adoption? If you haven't I think you should at least check it out.

Memories of Boston
Town Of My Great/Grt. Grandfather
My Great, great Grandfather--Thomas Garnham was married in this lovely church three days before the battle of Trafalgar in Oct---1805. He was described as a 'Sailmaker' at this time aged 24 years. He had connections to the 'Red-Cow' where is wife's parents lived and later was the landlord of the'Cross-Keys' ...Read full memory
William Boyd Alias Hopolong Cassidy
Our Cowboy Hero came to Boston, and was being entertained by the Mayor at the Assembly Rooms. A large crowd of teenagers gathered outside to catch sight of him. Finally when he came out with his lovely wife, wearing a large Stetson on his head. The first thing he said, was, "I'm Hopolong!, and this is my wife Tripalong". He thanked the children for watching his films.
Hard Life In The 1930s
I used to see some poor wretched people tramping the roads when I was a kid. I remember one particular man, news went quickly round that a tramp was on his way up Skirbeck Quarter. As kids we would stand at the top of Pulvertoft Lane to gaze at them as they walked by. This man was wearing two shoe boxes tied with ...Read full memory

I think dyork may have hit the nail on the head:
There may be another issue with the VOCAL software from Vovida. It is very complex! I wanted to experiment with putting a SIP server onto our server, so I looked at VOCAL. For what I wanted to do, it seemed sort of like learning how to fly a Boeing 747 airplane just to go down to the corner store!
Someday, I hope we are able to use VOCAL, but it is a bit overkill for what I was initially trying to do. That may be part of the issue. You all have created such an incredibly large offering... it may take people a while to understand what all it can do.
That's true. It's a major problem. There's a lot more documen tation published now than there was when I left, but the very quantity and detail of the documentation is itself daunting. For what it's worth, the company had realized this was a major problem when I left. I don't know what they're doing about it now--there certainly aren't any publicly visible efforts. :(
I think this problem would be alleviated considerably if someone would set up a big softswitch as a server, then allow others to connect. The users would just need to run a SIP client, which is a lot simpler than setting up a full- featured softswitch (possibly with support for several protocols). Of course, it would be nice if someone would make a distribution of <projectVocal</project> that includes only the parts needed to run a simple client.
The more I think about this, the more I think that my work is cut out for me and no one else will do it. Thanks to people like dyork for responding to my cries of frustration; I think they are giving me the necessary kick in the ass to do this.

To the best group of women I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I can't thank you enough for your kind donation to the American Heart Association in Memory of my Beautiful Mom. She not only was my Mom, but my best friend and I miss her dearly. It has been the love, support and kindness of family and friends that remind me she may not be with me as I would want her to be, but she will live on in my memories and my heart!

As the masters of inline pushchairs, phil&teds have updated their popular dot pushchair to create something even more practical. With their products designed to help parents 'adapt&survive' when kids arrive, with a quirky edge, we are excited to take a closer look.
The buggy. Its the one BIG purchase that pre-empts the new arrival, the one the Boy gets excited about, the one you agonise about. So why, first time round at least, do so many people get it so wrong?
I decided that whilst I wanted a compact one-fold set up, I also wanted something more substantial than a stroller. Did this wonder product actually even exist?
Thankfully – YES. In the form of the Phil&Teds Dot V3 – for some reason the only inline model Phil&Teds sells complete with double kit (to adapt for 2 children) yet at a much lower cost than all the others (still can't figure out why). This buggy folds as one (with removal of small second seat attachment), can convert to car seat or carrycot mode, can carry one or two children in crazy number of combinations, offers a 'cocoon' alternative for newborns (best invention EVER), is lightweight, easily manoeuvrable and also looks pretty smart too. Its one significant downside is the lack of storage space for shopping, however I combatted this with the addition of the pannier kit (geeky but practical). Job – as they say – done. I just wish I'd had the foresight to double up from the start…
"Double-buggy experts Phil&Teds are proud of the Dot – 15% more compact than the Explorer, they declare! But what does this mean for parents?
It's the same three-wheeled inline stroller we've come to expect from the New Zealanders, but geared to the urban market. Like their other offerings, the Dot is designed with adaptability in mind. There are various seat options to choose from, depending on your needs, from both parent and forward-facing when there is just one passenger, to the unique Double Kit add-on for 2 kids. What really sets the Dot apart, though, is its new slimline look, making it one of the most compact models out there at the moment." READ ME
1 of 7 Best Jogging Strollers
"This has plenty of space to carry your child, as well as a huge basket for all the extras. The manoeuvrability is impressive and it's simple to switch to a double, should you have twins or go onto have another tot."
The verdict? 5/5!
"Our testers said from the minute you hold the DOT you can feel the narrow elegance of the frame. Even the handle is barely wider that the shoulder width of a toddler - impressive. It has some weight but this made it more sturdy and quite a smooth ride. Snug, comfortable, and looks great. One dad came over in the playground to chat specifications as if it was a new car."
"First thing I noticed was how small and light the DOT was compared with my previous stroller. It was definitely a lot easier to fold up and put in the boot as well as having a lot more space available.
It was easy to strap the kid in, and the size of it made it easy to get around the small shops and aisles too.
Definitely a great push!"
" For those of you familiar with the Mountain Buggy Swift, the Dot is the phil&teds version. Take the Explorer frame, snap smaller (ten inch) wheels on it, and you've got a stroller that's 15% more compact than the Explorer–and it still has the same size seat. I think the Dot will be a terrific option for parents who want a great all-terrain stroller, but don't have a ton of space. It's also cute, and that doesn't hurt." READ ME
"the Dot is a downsized version of the phil&teds explorer, in fact it's 15% smaller. It has all the features of its older brother without the beef. However don't confuse less size with less comfort or less ability. It has a full sized seat and can tackle all sorts of terrain, it has a one-handed fastfold and one-handed recline control." READ ME
" Dot is ideal for parents who value compactness for small spaces in the city (elevators, stairs, small apartments, car trunks) but still want a multi-terrain stroller to negotiate rough terrains in the city (parks, pavement, gravel, cobblestone)." READ ME
"Dot which is the mini of the range… with a full-size seat! Super-compact, city-dwellers and those with small cars will relish this pocket rocket which compromises none of baby's comfort. It's 15 per cent more compact than the Explorer model but don't be fooled by the Dot's compactness – it's a fully-functioning pram with car capsule adaptability and bassinet and second seat options" READ ME
"Dot is ideal for parents who value compactness for small spaces in the city (elevators, stairs, small apartments, car boots…) but still want a multi-terrain stroller to negotiate rough terrains in the city (parks, pavement, gravel, cobblestone…). Dot offers a sleep ideal one hand recline DK and our new snug carrycot as an accessory." READ ME
"Fabulous wee buggy. So zippy and easy to manoeuver. I love the compact fold as it fits so easily in the car. I can't believe such a petite stroller can carry two children! The dot is perfect, small enough to zip down the supermarket aisle, yet sturdy and comfy enough for longer outings."

Man-Made Earthquakes
Waste Water Wells
Student Exploration
Can humans trigger an earthquake?
Geologists have been gathering data around the possibility of manmade earthquakes!Check it out: Man-Made Quakes
Here is a quick video segment showing the current geologic explanation:
What do you think? Any other ideas of what could have caused the earthquakes? Is this still a good way to dispose of waste?
Extension Investigation
- Not only are scientists worried about the tectonic jostling, there are also concerns that the waste will leak out into the groundwater: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=are-fracking-wastewater-wells-poisoning-ground-beneath-our-feeth
- There are always two sides to the story though! Here is the Environmental Protection Agency's website designed for young students showing them that carbon sequestration and underground storage will help global climate change: http://epa.gov/climatechange/kids/solutions/technologies/ccs.html
- What do you think? Are waste water wells good or bad? If they are good, how do you explain the potential earthquakes and groundwater pollution? If they are bad, where would you prefer this waste to go? What are the alternatives? Gather research from both sides of the argument and host a debate (in class or online).

Like anyone who has taught science courses, and probably like anyone who has ever taught anything to a classroom in the history of mankind, I've wondered how to motivate my students to really care about the material they are learning, beyond simply "studying for the test." For example, I have used a group method of study where groups of 4 students are each assigned a specific task: to become an expert in a particular area and to share their knowledge with the other groups.

Seymour Glass
With his almost nonchalant suicide at the story's end, Seymour has become one of American literature's most enigmatic characters. ''Why did he do it?'' is a difficult question with which many readers and writers struggle; an overview of the story, however, suggests a few possible routes of inquiry about Seymour's past and present problems.
The reader learns (from Muriel's conversation with her mother) that Seymour served in the United States Army and spent an undisclosed amount of time in a veteran's hospital, presumably for psychiatric evaluation or recovery. Since the story was first published in 1948, the reader can assume that Seymour (like his creator) saw action in World War II that affected him in terrible and unspoken ways. The reader also learns that Seymour tried to crash his father-in-law's car into a tree, attempted some "business" with a window (also presumably self-destructive), said ''horrible things'' to Muriel's grandmother about ''her plans for passing away,'' tried to do ''something with Granny's chair'' and harmed ''all those lovely pictures from Bermuda.'' Obviously, Seymour is preoccupied with death, a preoccupation that becomes a reality in the final paragraph.
Seymour's war experiences have left him so badly shaken that he searches for some form of purity in what he sees as a dangerous and corrupt world. Thus, his only two friends at the hotel are Sybil and Sharon: two little girls...
(The entire section is 348 words.)
Sybil Carpenter
As her first name suggests, Sybil is a seer or prophet-like character, who is able to "see" the bananafish that Seymour describes to her during their swim. Her opening words (''See more glass'') also suggest her ability to perceive the deeper meaning of experience, a quality that many of Salinger's child characters possess—and one that many of his adult characters lack. (Her mother's reaction to her precocious insight is to tell Sybil things like ''stop saying that'' and then leaving her for a martini.) Her innocence acts as a tonic for the troubled Seymour and her "sighting" of the imaginary bananafish confirms, for Seymour, the degree to which the adults around him are unable to ''see more'' of the world's innocence (her last name may, in part, suggest her "constructive" role in Seymour's enlightenment). Seymour's kissing of Sybil's foot is a gesture of obeisance and a recognition of those qualities in Sybil not found in characters like Muriel, Muriel's mother, and the woman he meets in the elevator.
(The entire section is 169 words.)
Muriel Glass
Muriel Glass, Seymour's wife, is a shallow young woman who faces pressure from her parents to leave her husband in Florida and return to New York by herself. In the story's opening paragraph, the narrator pokes fun at Muriel's annoyance at the long-distance lines being "monopolized" by the advertising men staying in her hotel. Her activities while she waits for her mother to call (tweezing a mole, removing a spot from a suit, moving a button on her Saks blouse, polishing her nails) suggest her preoccupation with her own appearance. Her answering the telephone only on the ''fifth or sixth ring'' again accents her vanity.
Muriel's "defense" of Seymour while talking to her mother also suggests much about how she views her husband. Her telling her mother that she let Seymour drive suggests a faith in her husband and a willingness to put his past indiscretions (or worse) behind her. When she speaks of the psychiatrist she met in the hotel, however, she reveals what seems to be a lackadaisical attitude toward Seymour's problems: she does not recall the doctor's name (''Rieser or something'') and says that she did not really discuss Seymour's troubles with him because the bar was too noisy. The ease with which she then shifts into a conversation about this year's fashions and her hotel room (which is ''just all right'') suggests a lack of empathy with her husband's plight.
(The entire section is 234 words.)
Woman in the Elevator
When Seymour leaves the beach, he takes an elevator to his room. During the elevator ride, he sees a woman whom he accuses of gawking at his feet. After his accusation, the woman says she ''happened to be looking at the floor'' and gets off at the next floor. Presumably, this woman is treated so roughly by Seymour because (unlike Sybil) she hides her emotions and thoughts behind a silly excuse.
Despite the fact that he married her, there is nothing in the story to suggest that Seymour can make any kind of real contact with his new wife: Salinger never puts them in the same scene until the very end, when Seymour (significantly) does not wake her up before killing himself. The characters with whom Seymour does connect, however, are Sybil and Sharon. Sybil's mother reminds the reader of Muriel, for she, too, is more concerned with herself than in protecting her daughter. Seymour can only speak to Sybil because of her innocence and freedom from what he sees as the corruption and phoniness of the world. (This is why Seymour resents the woman in the elevator lying about looking at his feet: a child would simply look at someone's feet without any unease or desire to hide the fact.) After his conversation with Sybil (from which she runs ''without regret,'' leaving the scene without any compunction or need to engage in the kind of false manners that marks the conversation of Muriel and her mother), Seymour quite possibly realizes that such innocence and...
(The entire section is 283 words.)
Other Characters
Mrs. Carpenter
Sybil's mother appears briefly: after applying suntan lotion to her daughter's back, she tells her to ''run and play'' on the beach while she goes back to the hotel for a martini. Like Muriel, Mrs. Carpenter is more interested in her own pleasures than in truly making contact with the innocent person whom she has been placed in charge.
Muriel's Mother
Like her daughter, Muriel's mother is a woman concerned with Seymour and his problems, but aloof at the same time. On one hand, she voices concern over Seymour's problems and her daughter's safety; on the other, her proposed solutions to these problems involve Muriel abandoning her husband and taking a ''lovely cruise'' by herself. (Her adding that Muriel's father is ''more than willing to pay for it,'' suggests she feels that solutions to psychological problems can be bought.)
Dr. Sivetski
Dr. Sivetski is Muriel's family physician. Muriel learns that her father spoke to him about Seymour's mental illness and that Dr. Sivetski warned that Seymour may ''completely lose control of himself.''
