Back Draft Damper 4in Diameter Galvanized Steel (Pack of 3)
This damper system automatically prevents exhausted air from re-entering a growing area or ventilated space. Works great with centrifugal fans and filters.
Back Draft Damper 4" Diameter Galvanized Steel (Pack of 3)
The back draft damper prevents exhausted air from returning to the growing area. It also prevents cold air from entering a growing area, saving on heating costs. This simple device fits into an existing duct work system and when used with a ventilation fan and an air filter it provides a complete ventilation and air purity system.
This system is great for use with indoor growing operations to keep carbon dioxide and oxygen levels ideal for plant growth. It is also great for ventilation in houses, barns, sheds, greenhouses and much more. It is made from corrosion resistant galvanized steel that is ideal for use in damp growing areas or greenhouses.
The damper is designed to fit directly into existing ducts and can be easily built into new ventilation or cooling systems as it fits the diameter of metal or soft ducts. The spring loaded design automatically shuts after air stops flowing and it is only for use in one air flow direction. A perimeter gasket ensures a tight seal which is ideal for cold environments or supplemental carbon dioxide applications.
Note: This is only the back draft damper, it doesn't include any fans or filters.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Efforts to Protect the Nation's Seaports
(Redacted and Unclassified)
Audit Report 06-26
March 2006
Office of the Inspector General
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the FBI's internal controls for the purpose of determining audit procedures. This evaluation was not made for the purpose of providing assurance on the internal control structure as a whole. However, we noted certain matters that we consider to be reportable conditions under the Government Auditing Standards.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the FBI's ability to manage its maritime terrorism efforts. As discussed in the Findings and Recommendations sections of this report, we found that:
Because we are not expressing an opinion on the FBI's internal control structure as a whole, this statement is intended solely for the information and use of the FBI in managing its maritime terrorism efforts. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public record.

handmade holiday | a handmade tree
One of my favorite things on this earth is Christmas trees - I've loved them since I was a wee tot, who pointed and exclaimed "gar! gar!" at the sight of an evergreen covered with twinkly lights. ("Gar" was my word for pretty. Who knows?) The day that we brought our perfectly-selected tree home from the lot and my dad set it up in the family room (and proceeded to take FOREVER to get the tree just right - straight in the stand, best side facing forward, lights tested and spaced equally apart, etc) was my favorite day of the year (besides Christmas Day itself)!
As a child, I wanted our tree to look the same every year. I was convinced our family Christmas tree was the most beautiful Christmas tree in the history of Christmas. It was a real tree with colored lights (with the big C7 bulbs, none of those wussy mini lights for us!) and a red and white star on top that lit up. And ornaments - lots of ornaments - we had quite a collection. During our annual beach trip each summer, we were allowed to pick out an ornament for the tree, so we had many glittery shells and starfish, along with a menagerie of land animals.
Many of these precious family ornaments are now in my personal collection and have adorned Larry's and my tree the past few years. And I love them. But I was getting a bit bored with our tree looking the same every year. I even switched things up last year and used colored lights, but it seems like just yesterday (where did this year go?) that I was decorating that tree (and undecorating it, and pulling pine needles out of the rug - ugh!). It was time for a change!
So this year I decided to leave all the family ornaments in the box and challenge myself to decorate our tree with only handmade decorations. (This went along nicely with my pledge to only buy handmade gifts this year, too!)
And I love the result! It's my favorite tree yet - colorful and cheerful and homemade. I made the ornaments, the garland, and the tree topper all with my own two hands. (I had hoped to DIY a tree skirt, but ran out of time and ended up using our old one from West Elm. Our stockings are also from West Elm.) This tree feels so much more special and unique than decorating with made-in-China ornaments from a big box store. This isn't to say that I'll never again use all the family ornaments I've collected over the past 30 years, but I think it's fun to rotate through the collection and use different ones each year instead of feeling the need to put every single ornament on the tree.
These next few days before Christmas, I'll be sharing a series of Handmade Holiday posts including the DIY ornaments I made for this year's tree. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory, so I won't write full-blown tutorials, but I will include materials lists and tips for creating them yourself. (However, if there are any questions about how to make the ornaments, please ask, and I will answer in the comments.)
Happy Handmade Holidays!

Beautiful, Rachel! I love the idea of an all handmade Christmas tree. I don't do my own tree, but I help my mom every year with theirs and I love placing all of the old and new ornaments on the tree. It makes me wonder what "my" Christmas tree will look like one day. :)

WOW! Love your ornaments!! I had plans to make Linocut-stamped ones this year but...well... apparently I'm not well-organized and time-efficient because OMFG IT'S THREE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS ALREADY!!!
PS- LOVE your tree, especially the theme this year. :)

Dear Christophe and Ludically,
I love this game. Love, love, love it. Thank you for making this kind of game play real. In fact, it's so great that there are often times when I want to play this game, but can't find anyone to play it with. This leads me to the question:
Have you put any thought towards creating some solo variants?
If so, I'd be thrilled to have one or two I could play on those nights when I can't find a partner.

DeKalb police chief says more officers needed
DEKALB, Ill. (AP) — A published report says the city of DeKalb has the lowest ratio of police officers to people when compared with other state university cities in Illinois.
The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/13o8NQO) the city has 1.3 police officers for every 1,000 people.
That's as the city has reported steady population but an increase of service calls. The newspaper says calls for service jumped from 38,803 in 2011 to 40,908 in 2012.
When the number of calls are figured out per officer, DeKalb's is double that of Urbana and Champaign. DeKalb, home to Northern Illinois University, reported 647 calls per officer last year.
DeKalb Police Chief Gene Lowery says the number of calls leaves officers buried with work and that the focus becomes reactive versus proactive. The department has 61 officers.

Author Notes:
This recipe is based on one found in the Chez Panisse Cookbook by Alice Waters. Generally speaking you always see beef tenderloin grilled or seared. Here it is poached in a very flavorful broth much like pot au feu but the end results are a very rich and different tasting beef medallion.
You can make the stock right before you want to make this recipe then strain it and proceed but you want a very flavorful broth before you start to poach the beef because the beef will finish cooking well before the stock would reach maximum flavor.
I also allowed the beef a good deal of time to come to room temperature which makes a huge difference in cooking time as does the circumference of the tenderloin. So while I give a time for doneness you may very well find it to be different for you.
This recipe is based on one found in the Chez Panisse Cookbook by Alice Waters. Generally speaking you always see beef tenderloin grilled or seared. Here it is poached in a very flavorful broth much like pot au feu but the end results are a very rich and different tasting beef medallion.
Serves: 4 to 6
cups home made vegetable stock
teaspoon fennel seed
teaspoon Sechuan peppercorns
teaspoon black peppercorns
whole cloves of garlic, peeled and trimmed
carrots, washed, peeled and cut into 2 inch long pieces
fingerling or small potatoes, peeled
celery roots, peeled and cut into 2 inch batons
1 or 2
onions depending on size, trimmed, root end left on then cut into wedges
2 to 2 1/4
pounds center cut piece of beef tenderloin, trimmed and cleaned of sinew, buyer can do this for you, trussed
tablespoons Pommery whole grain mustard
tablespoons Mayonnaise
tablespoon flat leaf parsley, very finely minced
1/2 to 1
teaspoons fresh lemon juice
kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- Remove the trimmed and trussed tenderloin from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. This will take about an hour.
- Place a 4 quart heavy bottomed pot onto the stove. Place the tenderloin into the pot and add enough stock to cover it by an inch. You may or may not use all the stock. Remove the beef tenderloin from the stock and place it onto a plate. Pate the tenderloin dry and season it with salt.
- Add the garlic, fennel, Sechuan and black peppercorns to the vegetable stock. Season the stock with a teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds fresh ground black pepper. Bring the stock to a boil then turn off the heat. Now trim all your vegetables and prep everything else while you let the stock steep with the spices.
- Combine the mustard, mayo, parsley and lemon juice. Mix it well. Add some salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Add the trussed tenderloin to the pot.
- If you have big chunks of vegetables and some smaller ones you will want to add the veggies in stages. If the carrots are the largest add them first and so on. If they are all about the same size just add them all.
- Turn the heat to medium high and bring the pot to a boil then immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Set a timer for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes turn the tenderloin if it is floating and check for doneness. Set the timer again for 10 minutes.
- The tenderloin will start to look split at the edges and if you look into the cracks and see bright red you need to cook it longer. The usual way of checking the beef by squeezing works ok but the tenderloin is much squishier since it is being poached and therefore harder to gauge.
- I found 30 minutes was a perfect medium rare for the tenderloin I cooked but that time may vary a little depending on size. So be careful with your cooking time and don't be afraid to remove the beef to a plate, cover it and let it rest while everything else is finishing up.
- Remove the beef from the pot, let it rest covered then slice it into 1/2 inch medallions. Do not ladle hot stock over the top of the beef but instead ladle it on to the plate first. If you ladle it over the top it will cook the beef and it won't look as appealing. Place the medallions onto a platter surrounded by vegetables and and stock. Serve with Maldon salt and the mayonnaise on the side.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

A couple notes:
Unlike the original books, "looking at me" is not the verbage used in this book, but you can use it when you narrate to children if you don't like the verbs/pace I chose.
Rokurokubi is a Japanese monster. You may need to practice saying the name out loud. Ghoul is an Arabic monster, and it just means basically monster, goblin, or boggart in my mind.
I may add to this book next year (rainbow blobs, anyone?) as well as find a technical way to emulate brush strokes like the original book has. So check back next October too!

Comparing two Bus Rapid Transit systems

Stations: U.S. 36 - 6; Roaring Fork - 9
Number of BRT buses: U.S. 36 - 59; Roaring Fork -18
One-way trip: U.S. 36 - 26 mins (express); Roaring Fork - 53 mins
ROARING FORK VALLEY -- For the past year or so, James Polowchena has been doing his best to take the bus from his home in Glenwood Springs to his job as a Transportation Security Administration agent at the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport.
The express bus operated by the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority was pretty efficient but didn't run often enough to be useful day to day. The local line ran more often, but due to all the stops and diversions added at least 30 minutes to the journey.
Polowchena would carpool when he could but found himself more often than he liked driving the 38-mile one-way commute by himself.
Then on Sept. 3, Colorado's first bus rapid transit system -- dubbed the VelociRFTA -- opened between Glenwood Springs and Aspen, a 42-mile stretch of rural Colo. 82 that runs through the Roaring Fork Valley. That made all the difference, Polowchena said.
Now buses come by every 10 to 15 minutes during peak times and every half an hour during less busy times of the day. The low-floor buses, branded with a playful green dinosaur set upon curvilinear lines, barely leave the highway as they pick up and drop off customers.
Onboard wireless Internet is free and real time electronic signs tell passengers at stations when the next bus is due. Polowchena can now count on a 45-minute one-way ride, barring weather problems, and figures he saves about $250 in gas a month.
"This is efficient and it's just a no-brainer," said Polowchena, looking up from a book he was reading on board the VelociRFTA on a recent Thursday. "It's so much faster. And it has that new bus smell."
But can lessons from the bucolic Roaring Fork Valley translate to the heavily urbanized and traffic-choked U.S. 36 corridor between Boulder and Denver, where bus rapid transit is slated to launch just over two years from now?
Regional Transportation District Director Chuck Sisk says yes, without question. Planning for BRT, which aims to mimic commuter rail with high frequency service and easy on-and-off boardings, has been underway along U.S. 36 for years and the infrastructure meant to support it is going in right now.
"I'm confident that it will be not only robust but a BRT system that is unique to Colorado," Sisk said.
Ridership up 27.6% year over year
Dan Blankenship, CEO of the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority, said he has been hearing good things about the first 2 1/2 months of BRT service in the valley, though he notes it hasn't been tested in the winter or summer high seasons yet.
There have been a few beginning bumps, like the station parking lots that are already reaching capacity and the electronic bus tracking system that for a while set off an incessant beeping sound inside the buses.
But overall, he said, BRT works well in an area where thousands of workers need to get "upvalley" to jobs in the tony city of Aspen from more affordable "downvalley" communities like Carbondale, El Jebel and Basalt.
"We need to move a lot of employees and there's not enough housing," Blankenship said. "There's sort of a commuter culture up here."
That need, coupled with rising gas prices and standing room-only buses in the high season, prompted voters to pass a 4/10th cent sales tax measure in 2008 to bring the $46.2 million BRT system to the Roaring Fork Valley.
The result is 18 40-foot-long Gillig low-floor buses traveling between Aspen and Glenwood Springs five days a week, serving nine sheltered bus stations along the way. Frequency in the high season will be 10 minutes during peak hours, 15 minutes during the middle of the day and 30 minutes during off-peak hours.
Blankenship said ridership has grown considerably compared to last year, from 153,000 riders in September 2012 to 195,000 riders this past September -- a 27.6 percent increase.
"People like the frequency of the service," he said. "You don't need to know when the bus comes because in a few minutes there will another one. BRT service is more direct, more frequent and the trip between Glenwood Springs and Aspen is about an hour -- so it's competitive with a car."
A ride on a VelociRFTA bus from Glenwood Springs to Aspen earlier this month showed the service operating right on time -- at least within a minute or two of the time listed on the schedule -- at each station. Wifi was easy to find on a mobile device and connected to the Internet smoothly.
The bus uses the two general purpose lanes from Glenwood Springs to Basalt, where a rush hour HOV/bus lane runs to Aspen's airport. Between the airport and the city itself, the bus gets a dedicated lane that no other vehicle can use.
59 buses, six stations
A dedicated lane, known in the parlance of the U.S. 36 BRT project as a managed lane, will be the backbone of the system here.
Allowing only buses and vehicles with three or more occupants on for free -- while setting a toll for two or fewer occupant vehicles -- the inside lane in both directions between Federal Boulevard and Table Mesa park-n-Ride in Boulder will serve as a powerful tool discouraging people from solo driving.
Buses, especially those doing the local runs, will be allowed to use the outside shoulder to keep moving if traffic in the two regular lanes bogs down to less than 35 mph.
Fifty-nine branded BRT buses will run the corridor 21 hours a day, with frequencies during peak periods at four to 12 minutes on opening day, and picking up to every two to four minutes during peak hours as the system matures.
A trip from downtown Denver to Boulder should take 26 minutes, according to RTD estimates.
There will be six stations along the 18-mile corridor with more than 5,000 parking spaces. Each station will boast an electronic display system informing commuters of the arrival times of the next buses. The stations at Church Ranch and Flatiron will get a10-foot by 30-foot canopy for shelter while the stations at Westminster, Broomfield, McCaslin and Table Mesa will get a larger 10-foot by 60-foot cover.
The $425 million U.S. 36 Managed Lanes project, of which RTD is contributing $135 million, broke ground in July 2012 and is being built out in two phases. The first BRT buses are expected to start rolling in the corridor in early 2016.
Audrey DeBarros, executive director of 36 Commuting Solutions, said the idea behind BRT is to give people as much of a train-like experience as possible, especially given the uncertain future of the commuter rail line that was approved for the corridor by voters as part of the 2004 FasTracks ballot measure.
"We want to provide a very reliable, predictable and schedule-free service for commuters," she said.
U.S. 36 BRT Project Manager Nadine Lee said special attention is being paid to the unique travel patterns in the corridor, where traffic volume in each direction is not dramatically different. U.S. 36 sees an average of 72,000 vehicles a day at its west end and 124,000 vehicles a day at the east end.
"The biggest difference people will see is that we will put more service on the reverse peak," Lee said, meaning the westbound morning flow and the eastbound evening flow won't get shortchanged when it comes to crafting a service plan. "What we know about this corridor is that there is a very strong bi-directional travel component."
Balancing comfort, reliability, efficiency
But exactly what type of bus to put on U.S. 36 is still undecided, as is the name or the logo for the new service.
Lee said "Flatiron Flyer" is getting the most traction among the names that have been submitted for consideration, though the RTD Board of Directors has not made a decision on a moniker yet. She said the BRT buses must have a strong brand identity so that they are distinct in the mind of the traveling public.
But bigger challenges than name and design lurk for RTD, as the agency takes on the difficult task of properly balancing several elements -- namely comfort, reliability and efficiency of the bus fleet -- needed for any successful BRT system.
Sisk said a BRT bus he rode in Los Angeles a few years ago severely lacked comfort while the Roaring Fork's own VelociRFTA bus, he said, had trouble climbing with any speed the hill on U.S. 36 from Boulder to Davidson Mesa during a summertime test run.
At the same time, said Louisville Mayor Bob Muckle, placing too much of an emphasis on horsepower runs the risk of sacrificing the nimbleness that is needed from a BRT vehicle.
"You can't take five minutes to load a bunch of people when you're riding buses every six minutes," he said.
RTD's Lee said the market for buses that can provide easy on-and-off boarding, as is the case with the low-floor fleet in the Roaring Fork Valley, yet be burly enough to scale the grades on U.S. 36 at a reasonable speed is thin. With each BRT bus estimated to cost RTD about $560,000, ordering a custom made vehicle that incorporates every aspect of the ideal BRT experience could break the bank.
"We're trying to right size the vehicle to the service we're offering," Lee said.
That has led to a discussion of using a mixed fleet -- more traditional regional coaches to handle the express routes and a more classic low-floor BRT design for the buses stopping at every station.
"What we do know is that the two different types of service -- all-stop and non-stop -- may have different operating characteristics that influence the vehicle selection for each type of service," Lee said.
Bike capacity critical
Yet another consideration for RTD in building a BRT system on U.S. 36 is how to accommodate all the cyclists who combine their bike riding with their bus riding. They are part of the vexing "first and last mile" quagmire that transportation officials have been wrestling with for years and which will be the topic of a symposium scheduled for Wednesday in Denver.
Getting people from their homes, or their jobs, to the nearest transit station -- "the last mile" -- remains one of the biggest obstacles to universal use of public transit. According to the 2012 U.S. 36 Mobility Study, solo drivers represented nearly 69 percent of trips on the highway while carpooling comprised 8.7 percent and transit riders 6.2 percent.
DeBarros said it's critical that RTD ensure that cyclists don't get denied a seat on a bus just because their bikes can't come along for the ride. Whether that's through flex seating, undercarriage capacity or bike mounting on the outside of the vehicle, DeBarros said the agency has to be ready for what will likely be a high percentage of commuters using bicycles, especially once the corridor-long bikeway is completed.
Secure bike parking must also be a prominent feature of every station, she said.
"Either the stations need to store these bikes safely or there needs to be greater capacity for bikes on board the buses, or a combination of both," DeBarros said. "It's absolutely critical it's the right fit to meet the anticipated multi-modal use of our corridor."
Since the type of bus has not yet been selected for the corridor, Lee said she doesn't know how many bikes will fit in or on a BRT bus traveling U.S. 36. But she said it's possible that RTD can provide more capacity overall by simply running more trips each hour. Either way, there will be trade-offs, she said.
"As we consider the bike-carrying capacity of each vehicle type under consideration, we have to contemplate the number of seats we are willing to give up to accommodate bikes," Lee said.
'It's just very convenient'
Those sorts of questions strike right at the issue of ride quality. Sisk said comfort and convenience on the BRT buses is important to attracting a regular and loyal ridership, whether it's in the form of Internet connectivity or reading lights for the more traditional set.
"Wifi is imperative," he said, while noting that no decision has yet been made about what kind of wireless Internet service might be offered and whether it will be free.
But, Sisk said, all of those amenities come secondary to guaranteeing that BRT service is frequent and reliable.
"We can give them all the bells and whistles, but if their travel times increase, people will say it's not worth it," he said.
Lena Davis, taking a smoke break at the Rubey Park Transit Center in downtown Aspen earlier this month after taking a BRT bus from Glenwood Springs, said she has noticed an increased efficiency in her commute to her job at the St. Regis Aspen Resort since the BRT system launched in September.
"It was taking an hour and a half to two hours and now it takes just under an hour," she said. "They're usually right on time. It's just very convenient."
Dudley Comer, a driver for the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority, said he's noticed that with the frequency of BRT, passengers are no longer as concerned about checking a schedule and timing their morning or evening routines around catching the bus.
"I'm seeing passenger loads a little lighter at peak periods because we have more buses running," Comer said. "And passengers can move their schedules around a little bit depending on what bus they want to take."
'Right ingredients' for transit-oriented development
Enhancing that life/work flexibility is central to RTD's efforts to make BRT the transportation mode of choice for the tens of thousands of commuters in the U.S. 36 corridor. Unlike the rural stretch of highway between Aspen and Glenwood Springs, the thoroughfare between Denver and Boulder is lined with densely populated urban centers, high-rise hotels and gleaming office parks.
While rail may eventually be built in the corridor, it will fall to bus rapid transit in the short term to provide the opportunities for transit-oriented developments to take root around stations.
It's already happening, with projects like Superior Town Center, the overhaul of Broomfield's FlatIron Marketplace and the redevelopment of Westminster Mall all taking place near planned BRT stops along U.S. 36.
Broomfield transportation manager Debra Baskett said transit-oriented development is sprouting up all over her city's portion of U.S. 36. She calls the Flatiron station a "sleeping giant" in terms of melding residential, retail and office elements into a livable whole.
There's the 343-unti AMLI apartment complex going up, the Terracina apartments not far away and FlatIron Marketplace, a 35-acre retail center that has recently fallen on hard times, now with a new owner and on the cusp of getting a new lease on life, she said.
"We're developing and redeveloping now and we're looking at transit-oriented development and BRT has the right ingredients for that," Baskett said. "We're diversifying what was just a business park to a place where people live and work."
She's confident that with creativity and collaboration, the U.S. 36 corridor can harness the opportunities provided by a newly constructed highway, crowned with one of the most technologically advanced transit systems in the nation, to make land use decisions that will pay benefits for decades into the future.
"I think it will be a national model for BRT in an urban area," Baskett said.

|OpenBSD General Other questions regarding OpenBSD which do not fit in any of the categories below.
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
OpenBSD Financial Situation
I'm asking since I have heard before about troubles with OpenBSD generating sufficient funds and I think it is a shame when so many servers use software from the team, especially OpenSSH. The first was in 2006:
It also was mentioned on a HNNcast in Sep. 2009 ("OpenBSD in Financial Straits"):
I'm wondering if anyone knows specifics on the matter. In any case, I'm sure it would be great to get something going to help them out. I'm a college student myself but bought the 4.7 CDs and donated some extra hardware, and am hoping others also consider doing the same.
Of the major *BSD variants, OpenBSD is the smallest. At one time, Theo had a DARPA grant several years back, but this was revoked after he boldly stated some anti-military opinions. In general, the project gets by asking for specific donations from the user base when specific hardware is needed (just as some developers are asking for donations now to purchase some HP laptops which appear to implement suspend/resume outside of the ACPI specification...) or additional funds are needed for hackathon reasons (flying specific developers). This also follows the project's goals placing the developers in complete control not having to kowtow to any particular benefactor.
There was a period of time when -stable ports were held hostage by stating that developer resources were few, & keeping the -stable ports tree up-to-date was stopped in the name of continuing development on -current. The hope was that someone(s) would pony up funds. It didn't really work. Updating -stable ports has resumed to a degree as more people have joined in the porting effort. This is still a sore point with the community, & more information can be found in the misc@ archives.
Would it be nice if major corporations contributed for such efforts as OpenSSH? Perhaps, & on occasion there will be some grumblings on misc@ about it, but by remaining small & by flying beneath the consciousness of most, the developers can do as they please, & that appears to be perfectly fine by them.
The developers are not particularly interested in world domination, nor stamping out the competition. In fact, OpenBSD isn't for everyone, & by remaining small, the developers don't have to answer to demands for new features, policy, or spoon-feeding. The developers understand the ramifications of the BSD license philosophy, & this allows them to do as they please. They set their own agenda.
OpenBSD is an engineer's operating system where engineers call all the shots. The project's policies aren't agreeable to many, but there are other alternatives. OpenBSD isn't the only game in town, & the developers will freely point the disgruntled to other operating systems.
Thanks ocicat for a great reply. I looked through the mailing list and the donations are, as they say, pathetic for everything other than CDs- and even that is low. One thing you said stood out:
The NetBSD project has had corporate sponsorship in the past by companies such as Wasabi & Wind Rivers who both were trying to capitalize on the name (& code base) in the embedded market. The OpenBSD project has never had corporate sponsorship throughout its lifetime outside of the DARPA grant.
Having watched the NetBSD Website fairly consistently for quite some time, it appears that they add new developers monthly. It can be surmised that with corporate sponsorship, the various corporations wanted a number of their staff to be able to commit code to the repository. My understanding is that NetBSD does not have currently have a corporate sponsor, but the project still adds to its ranks frequently.
The OpenBSD project doesn't duplicate this frequency. In fact, it appears that substantial code contributions have to be made before the OpenBSD project extends an invitation to join its ranks. Is one style better than the other? No, the projects just manage themselves differently.

I wanted to know if you use any mods to help in seeing who needs to be healed and who needs buffs. I don't plan to heal much just in those cases when my guild do old world runs for fun and I'm the only healer class available. well I take that back I might dual spec healing once it comes out :)
I use the mod Grid to see the healthbars of everyone in the raid. Grid can also be configured to show when a specific buff or debuff is on a character, and I have mine set to show Beacon of Light and Sacred Shield.
For paladin Blessings, I use PallyPower.
Those are pretty much the only mods I use. I do have all my heals use a macro so they cast on mouseover.
/cast [target=mouseover, help][] Holy Light
This allows me to just hover my mouse cursor over the person's healthbar on Grid and cast the heal, rather than explicitly switching targets.
That's about it for mods and macros that I use for healing. It's pretty much just Grid + mouseover macros.

Industry sources have told Farm Industry News that this year's seed corn supply is much tighter than previously thought, and could lead to some significant shortages of top-end hybrids this growing season.
As reported in Farm Industry News in September ("Corn seed production may drop 20% in 2012"), the challenging 2011 growing season put a huge dent in seed corn production, forcing many companies to supplement supplies with South American production to meet what is expected to be a significant year for planted corn acres.
However, South American production comes with risks. Production in Chile is expected to be good, but drought in Argentina could ding production and quality of the seed. Seed from South America is expensive to grow and ship, which means only high-value seed corn is being targeted.
But what is making many industry insiders nervous is the timing of South American production. As one source shared with Farm Industry News, "An early spring in North America makes seed companies nervous because the seed from South America may not be here in time if we start planting early."
Industry insiders offer these suggestions:
- Check early, and often, about your orders.
- Ask for seed corn delivery sooner rather than later, and take delivery of what the company can ship rather than waiting for the complete order.
- Anticipate that some top seed corn hybrids that are being grown in South America will arrive later than usual. Companies will know how much seed is produced, but it will still need to be shipped to North America.
- Be prepared for alternate hybrids.
A delayed harvest in South America could create even more significant problems for the market. There should be enough seed to plant for 2012, but many of the choice hybrids will be in very short supply, experts predict.

As I make my way through the adventure of parenting, I am often reminded that it is not meant to be figured out all on one's own. There are several key players who will influence the way in which we parent. And since it's Mother's Day today, I want to take a moment to reflect on my mum. All the things I know as a mother, a wife, a friend, a colleague, are reflections of what my mother has taught me…by example, by persistence, and sometimes even by mistake. While we have very different personalities in many ways, we both share a love for helping others, a commitment to our family, and a desire for social justice. What I love most about my mother is her passion for lifting others into a higher vision of themselves.
While the following advice from my mom (aka "nana" to my girls), may or may not agree with you, here are the ones that come to the forefront in my mind and many of which have slowly niggled their way into my life and become some of my own beliefs.
On Being A Friend
There are good friends and bad ones. Take the time to get to know your good friends. Trust your instincts. If you don't trust them, ask your mother. (She'll tell you what she thinks. Over and over and over again.)
On Being A Partner
Your husband deserves your love and attention. Don't take the love you share for granted. Go out once a week. The kids can stay overnight at nana's. They can even stay for a week. Just go out!!!
On Caring for Yourself
Take care of yourself: drink lots of water, rest, eat well, make yourself feel pretty, get outside for 2-3 hours each day, and change the filters in your house and car to ensure you get clean, fresh air at all times. Treat yourself like a Rolls Royce and the rest will follow. Oh yeah, and don't forget to drink lots of water. And did you open the windows in your home? Change those air filters!!
On Health
There are only three essentials aside from water, berries, vegetables, fish, rice porridge and lentil soup: apple cider vinegar, honey, and garlic. Do you have garlic? That will solve everything. Honey for your throat. Heart condition? Where's your apple cider vinegar? Are you sick? Again? Belladonna will do the trick! Just had a baby? Boost your iron! Tired from work? You need Ginseng!! And take your Chinese herbal medicine and multivitamins to boost your energy!! Poor memory? Lecithin!!! Poor vision? You need lutein from your egg yolks!
Sad? Depressed? Eat chocolate!! Eat ice cream. Then stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get outside. Help others. Sit in the sun. Walk the dogs. And eat chocolate.
On Parenting
Your children are your most prized possession. Teach them, joke with them, sing to them, hug them, and always be there for them. The time you put in now when they are young will serve you and your children well for the future.
If you want to know what you should do, become a child again and remember what children do and like.
Children are born geniuses, don't insult their intelligence. Go put that kid on the potty from birth just like the previous generations in China did with their kids. And use the organic cotton cloth diapers that I used to use that soak right through. I'm German but I like listening to old Chinese ladies' advice. Rash anywhere on face or bum? Penaten!!
And remember: We are blessed with the children we are given. We do not own them, but are entrusted with their care.
On Education
You are your children's best education. Nature provides the learning resources. Go outside, explore, observe, experience nature and learn. When they are ready for more formal education, and if homeschooling is not feasible, a Waldorf school presents a good, solid foundation from which to grow and learn how to appreciate one's own abilities and work in harmony with one's community and environment.
Don't feel stuck to your studies. You are not a slave to previous decisions. Drop out of college if you need to. Drop out!! Start fresh. Know what really makes you passionate and do that instead. Go out and find what really makes you happy.
On Work
Being self-employed awards you opportunities that you may not otherwise have come across. Don't follow the masses or become a victim of someone else. Be willing to take a leap of faith and take a chance. Work hard, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. We learn from these mistakes and also become much stronger in the end. Be your own success story.
On Investing
Don't feel the pressure to buy a home. Don't invest in banks. Invest in your kids. Invest in property you can enjoy. Cash good, Visa bad. Don't trust the banks. Hide your money. Spend your money. Just don't put it all in the bank.
On Keeping House
Clean when the kids are asleep. Or awake. Or never. You decide. The main thing is that you need to have a plan everyday for how to keep the house tidy and clean. But how much is it costing you for the cleaning lady? No more than $10 right? What? $100 you say? Are you insane! That's far too much to spend on cleaning!
(On a sidenote, if you need some direction on cleaning and sorting schedules, I am a big fan of the Fly Lady http://www.flylady.net and also A Bowl Full of Lemons http://www.abowlfulloflemons.net)
Less is more. When possible, stick to the most natural cleaning products, and buy used and practical items.
On Faith
We are put on this earth for a reason. The most important thing is love. Religion in its healthiest state can provide a solid grounding from which one can go forth and meet life's challenges. It doesn't matter what religion you do or don't subscribe to. Find the good in it and learn from those who have walked before you, and those that walk with you. If you are lost, find your faith. You are not alone.
Happy Mother's Day! What are some of your favourite quotes from your mom?

Why traditional advertising won't work in social networks - and what will
Finally got round to doing a slidedeck which I hope graphically demonstrates why traditional ad models are bound to fail in social networks.
It also illustrates the ways messages ought to be released into the wild if you expect them to survive (succeed) in a group-forming environment.
Of course, we don't just form groups in the digital world, but the internet is a more rapidly enabling environment on a global scale than most physical ones. But the two are coming together.

Covering a show like E3 gives gaming writers a good chance to check in with each other to see where the buzz is. We take every opportunity to pick the brains of both other writers and people working in the industry. One trend has been impossible to ignore after two days at E3: everyone is gaming on the iPhone.
At Kotaku's party on Sunday night, I asked many people what games they were playing or what they were excited about. To my shock, many people answered with the name of their favorite iPhone game or application. In fact, one industry professional whipped out his iPhone and gave me a lengthy demo of Aurora Feint; I turned around and showed him my favorite game, MotionX Poker. Other writers around me took out their iPhones to share their own favorite games. People were passionate about this game or that one, and many had personal favorites to champion.
This trend became all the more obvious when I bumped into GDC executive producer Jamil Moledina at the Into the Pixel art show. We chatted for a while about the events we had gone to and what we were excited about, and talked about games that we found personally exciting. That's when he took out his iPhone, talked up a $3 game called Dizzy Bee, and placed it in my hand. The game was fun—imagine a tilt-controlled LocoRoco—for such a simple concept. Out of all the games we had both already seen at the show, and after a long conversation about meetings we had planned and what we looked forward to playing, the man behind the Game Developers Conference wanted to make sure I knew about an iPhone game that sells for under $5.
The number of companies interested in iPhone games is both long and impressive. Sega, EA, PopCap, Gameloft: the list goes on. While many of these new iPhone titles may be a way off, the fact is that E3 has made it clear that the industry is already taking the iPhone seriously as a gaming platform, and everyone is either talking about the games or playing them. At the press conferences, I'm seeing game players using as many iPhones as DS units. That's an amazing achievement for a platform that, as a gaming unit, is only days old.
The industry may be seeing the birth of a very powerful, casual gaming platform. At E3, the writing on the wall is impossible to ignore.

Welcome to the new look of the Hardcore Zen Blog! It took me ages and ages and ages to get this to look right. I'm still not entirely satisfied with it. But I'm sick of typing HTML code. I had to learn to do that for work back about 7-8 years ago when we were starting our webpage. As soon as editing programs came in, I was like, man I ain't never writing no HTML code again. But I did it today. And I remembered well why I vowed never to do it again. It is way worse than Zazen.
ANYWAY. Some of you have been asking if I'll come speak in your neck of the woods. The answer is YES. But, in general I have NO IDEA how to book a speaking gig out there, wherever there happens to be. So here's the deal. If you want me to come to your area, see if you can find a place that'll have me. I have a new book coming out in May. I got a weekly Suicide Girls column viewed by — they tell me — millions of people. Whenever I do a speaking gig, lots of folks show up. Maybe I only get seven people for Zazen on Saturdays, but if folks don't gotta do anything but listen to a talk, they show up. And then they challenge all the stuff I've just said about Zazen, having never actually done any. Weird, huh?
ANYWAY. Just set something up and I'll gladly travel out to wherever and sign books, talk Zen, lead some Zen, whatever. Just write me with the when's, where's and most importantly how's.

Barbara Walters is still in the hospital, according to her "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg, and she now has chicken pox.
That's right, the disease many people get as children is now afflicting the 83-year-old newswoman.
"We want to give you an update on Barbara," Goldberg said on "The View" on Monday. "You all know that she fell and cut her head 10 days ago, and then was running a temperature, but it turns out it is all the result of a delayed childhood. Barbara has the chicken pox. She'd never had it as a child. So now she's been told to rest, she's not allowed any visitors, and we're telling you, Barbara — no scratching."
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT| SAG 2013: Winners | Quotes | Photo Booth
Walters has been hospitalized since last week, when she fell during an inauguration party at the British ambassador's residence in Washington and cut her head. Then she developed a fever, and now the chicken pox. She was in a Washington hospital and has since been transferred to a hospital in New York.
Although the chicken pox infection is not considered life-threatening, it is more serious in adults than in children, since adults can sometimes develop complications such as pneumonia, according to the European Respiratory Journal.

Whos responsible?
What's your IT-business relationship like? Do you see yourself and your team playing the role of "order taker" responding to every business demand? Or is your operation functioning as a partnership with the business structure? Perhaps you're in the enviable position of playing a leadership role as a CIO who is charged with driving forward the business agenda in your enterprise. A recent survey of IT decision-makers, conducted by IT adoption consulting firm Neochange and sponsored by Datango, iRise and KNOA, reveals that those organizations in which IT plays a leadership role in business decision-making achieve the greatest return on their technology investments. Neochange worked with CIO Insight's research division, Ziff Davis Enterprise Research, to field the survey in winter 2010. A total of 204 IT and business leaders completed the survey, representing a variety of company sizes and industry verticals. The majority of respondents (59.3 percent) are experiencing positive IT ROI trends by working their existing IT investments for more value. One measure of IT ROI, according to the report, is the "effective usage rate" of a given solution among end users. In organizations in which IT is seen as an "order taker," IT deployments achieve an average effective usage rate of 48 percent. This contrasts sharply with the average effective usage rate of 58 percent for organizations where IT is considered a partner to business, and the average effective usage rate of 69 percent in operations where IT is considered to be a business leader. Survey respondents also share significant shortcomings in their companies' ability to build end-user capabilities through training and support.
52.7% of respondents say their corporate executives ultimately hold IT management responsible for the success or failure of an enterprise software deployment or upgrade.

They could bring back a lot of guys from this team who will be in their primes or just slightly past their primes but still good in 2018. Klose is retiring. Podolski's likely gone. Schweingsteiger will be 33 and may need replacing (had the game lasted another five minutes he might have died). Lahm will be 34 but I could see him aging well enough to still be playing. Mertesacker will be 33 which isn't that old for a CB and it may be a good thing if he's gone. Khedira will be 31. The rest of their outfield players will be 30 or younger. They also had guys who would have made this team but were hurt. You can insert your own joke about Germany successfully invading Russia this time here and get used to a bunch of them over the next 4 years.
I doubt they could rip off a Pax Espana-style run of winning titles over the next six years because other European teams (namely Spain and Belgium, and I think France) have a strong group of young talent as well. Plus winning a title is really hard and takes luck that isn't always there. On a better day Higuain converts one of his chances, or in an alternate reality Man City don't play Aguero when he's not healthy and he makes it to the tourney in one piece and gives Germany more trouble. It would however not be shocking if they added to their trophy haul either in 2016 or 2018 or even 2020 with this core. Hopefully Jurgen can find a few more Germans with American ancestors that won't crack the German setup and convince them to come home.

No soul. Only a fraction of the passion. No ... community.
tifosi77 wrote:Actually, one of the reasons why I'm such a fan of Barcelona is their development system and the association that comes with certain players. A lot of the long-time FCB guys of the current generation are products of the team's development system, La Masia. Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Puyol, Pique, Valdes.... even former coach Pep Guardiola. Between youth and senior careers, Xavi has been with FCB for over twenty years. Messi has been there for sixteen years now, which is four years longer than he lived in Argentina.
Do they have the big 'hired guns' from time to time, like Ibra and now Neymar? Sure. But the core of the team is, to me, that farmhouse development system.
Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil has confirmed that he has "supported the surgery" of 23 children in Brazil in the wake of his side's World Cup triumph.
Ozil, 25, helped fund operations for 11 sick children in the World Cup host nation before the tournament and Germany's successful World Cup campaign has inspired him to donate more money.

Long Beach Airport Director Mario Rodriguez has been in and out of airports more times than he'd like to say.
And no matter the airport, the experience is the same, he said.
"It's going through a concrete building, through a metal tube and another metal tube," said the Long Beach resident. "Everything feels the same."
So when Long Beach Airport embarked on its $140 million modernization project, which will include a new terminal and parking garage and upgrades to the aircraft ramps and facades, those involved sought something different.
Today, work is more than halfway done on the passenger concourse, which will feature two terminal buildings, and 4,200 square feet of outdoor seating with patios, fire pits, cabanas, suspended lights and space for outdoor performances.
The new concourse will also include more than 10,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant space managed by The Paradies Shops, which is bringing in local vendors such as Polly's Coffee, Sweet Jill's Bakery, 4th Street Vine, George's Greek Cafe and second locations for Long Beach Clothing Co., which will be called 562 Experience, and McKenna's on the Bay, whose second restaurant will be named McKenna's on the Fly.
"Long Beach is such a special place, and this is going to reflect it, with outdoor dining and fire pits," Rodriguez said. "It's a whole different concept and feel, more of a resort feel. And it should be. We took the idea from resorts."
Studio One Eleven principal Michael Bohn, whose Long Beach firm was hired by Paradies to design the retail and outside space, said his team sought to capture the modern, crisp waterfront metropolis that is Long Beach, bringing in nautical features and taking advantage of the city's openness and outdoor living.
He also spoke of the Long Beach Marche, a high-end food court that will be modeled less like a cafeteria and more like an open market where passengers can wander through self-serve islands of fresh food or head to food stations serving up Long Beach eats.
"What we're trying to do is make it a memorable and enjoyable place you would want to come to even if you weren't waiting for an airport," Bohn said.
Long Beach follows a national trend among airports in the midst of major renovations to remain competitive.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport recently opened its $1.4 billion terminal for international passengers. In Las Vegas, McCarran International Airport is opening its $2.4 billion Terminal 3. Los Angeles International Airport also is undergoing improvements.
Rodriguez said Long Beach's take on the concourse is different from other airports.
"We don't believe that people are comfortable in huge, Taj Mahal spaces," Rodriguez said. "Resorts have comfortable spaces. You're going to get something you haven't gotten from another airport."
JetBlue CEO Dave Barger, who toured the construction site Friday, said he was impressed by the progress. He added that the improvements will benefit the bottom lines of JetBlue and other operators.
"From JetBlue's perspective, at altitude is where customers spend most of their time, but the battle is also won on the ground," Barger said. "People are looking at the price of their tickets, they're looking at the price of their parking, but also how well their ground experience is. This bodes well for our operations."
His reaction was a far cry from 2009, when Barger suggested to an airline industry blogger that JetBlue might pull out of Long Beach because of delays in the terminal improvement project.
The project had been delayed for years as the city fought legal battles over the scale of the expansion and concerns about the potential increase in aircraft noise. Airport officials have maintained that current noise restrictions and a cap on the number of allowed daily flights will remain.
The new concourse is expected to be open in 2013, though the project is ahead of schedule and could be open earlier, Rodriguez said.
"Hopefully, we'll deliver a nice Christmas present," he said.

I have made quite a few loaves of sourdough over the last year and a bit, most have been ok, a couple have been good, a few disasters, but none have been great. So I thought I would try some No Knead Sourdough. There are a few recipes out there based on the No Knead Bread from the New York Times. I have tried a few variations, some were too wet, some too dry so this is what works for me. I think it is worth experimenting as I think your starter and the flour you use can make a difference.
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter
- 1 5/8 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 1/4 cups flour (I used a high protein white flour)
I made it exactly as the instructions in the No Knead Bread recipe. My mixture was too sticky to knead, but not too sticky to handle when you have to. It had risen beautifully after 12 hours.
This is definitely the best sourdough loaf I have made.

Looks great! I will send this on to my husband who was madly experimenting with sourdough a little while back but never got the texture and rising quite right, and now the starter is languishing in the back of the fridge :)
- Maggie said...
It looks beautiful, thanks for sharing. Pinning it now :)
Your bread came out fantastic. I made one too, but top got slightly over browned. Never mind we all ate it. Just found your blog today. I'm enjoying it.

Need immediate assistance in the library when no one is around? Simply pick up one of the four red telephones in Moody Memorial and Jesse H. Jones libraries and connect to a helpful staff member.
"When you are in a remote corner of a department store and can't find a clerk to help, there's often a phone available to call for assistance," said Jeff Steely, assistant director for Client Services. "The 'library hotline' phones are available for the same purpose – to provide a quick and easy way for library clients to obtain assistance when a staff member is not nearby."
The phones are just inside the center glass doors on Moody's third floor, at the periodicals desk on the second floor of Moody, at the Government Documents desk on the garden level of Moody, and at the Science & Engineering reference desk on the second floor of Jones.
Cell phone users can simply call the Reference Desk at 710-2122 for assistance.

This post is part of a blog series which focuses on translating compatibility views in SQL Server to their respective dynamic management objects. You can find a list of all of the deprecated views in the introduction post.
The compatibility view sysdepends returns rows dependency information for objects within a SQL Server database, such as establishing relationships between a stored procedure and the tables that it uses. The information returned includes the dependent object information, along with column details, when applicable. The compatibility view also determines whether the relationship results in SELECT, SELECT *, or update operations. This easily allows DBAs to identify which objects will be affected, and how, by potential code changes.
Replacing sysdepends comes in the form of a couple of catalog views. First there is sys.sql_dependencies; which returns results similar to sysdepends. Every row returned represents a relationship between two object in a SQL Server database. The same general information is included for SELECT, SELECT *, and update operations. The other catalog view is sys.sql_expression_dependencies; which provides similar information as the other catalog view but extends to three and four part object references.
Query Via sysdepends
There isn't much that goes into writing a query against sysdepends. There is a status column, but unlike other compatibility views, it doesn't appear that anyone has managed to decipher anything of use out of that column. There are a few other useless columns as well in the view; which include the number, depdbid, and depsiteid columns. For the most part, queries will be similar to the one included in Listing 1.
Listing 1 – Query for sys.sysdepends SELECT id ,depid ,number ,depnumber ,status ,deptype ,depdbid ,depsiteid ,selall ,resultobj ,readobj FROM sysdepends
Query via sys.sql_dependencies
Using the sys.sql_dependencies; which is the first catalog view that maps to sysdepends, you are able to cover all of the valid functionality of the the compatibility view. The columns which do not map into sysdepends are status, number, depdbid, and repsiteid. All of these are either no longer used or undefined. The query in Listing 2, provides the mapping of the catalog view to the compatibility, plus a couple additional columns not previously provided. These columns are class_desc (translating the deptype) and column_id (the column that is referencing).
Listing 2 – Query for sys.sql_dependencies SELECT object_id AS id ,referenced_major_id AS depid ,NULL AS number ,referenced_minor_id AS depnumber ,NULL AS status ,class AS deptype ,class_desc ,NULL AS depdbid ,NULL AS depsiteid ,is_select_all AS selall ,is_updated AS resultobj ,is_selected AS readobj ,column_id FROM sys.sql_dependencies
Query via sys.sql_expression_dependencies
The other catalog view that can be used in exchange of sysdepends is sys.sql_expression_dependencies. As already mentioned, this view provides a deeper look into dependancies by providing a view into three and four part object names. The information in the catalog view also misses on a few other areas, such as defining the relationships between select and update operations in the referencing objects. While this is a gap, sys.sql_expression_dependencies isn't aimed at that need, which is the purpose of the other view. The purpose behind this view is to provide information on the full mapping of a table and column to a referencing object. The query in Listing 3 shows how the columns in the compatibility view map to the catalog view.
Listing 3 – Query for sys.sql_expression_dependencies SELECT referencing_id AS id ,referenced_id AS depid ,referenced_minor_id AS number ,referencing_minor_id AS depnumber ,NULL AS status ,NULL AS deptype ,NULL AS depdbid ,NULL AS depsiteid ,NULL AS selall ,NULL AS resultobj ,NULL AS readobj ,referencing_class ,referencing_class_desc ,is_schema_bound_reference ,referenced_class ,referenced_class_desc ,referenced_server_name ,referenced_database_name ,referenced_schema_name ,referenced_entity_name ,is_caller_dependent ,is_ambiguous FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies
The Dependency Rub
While this information can be very useful for tracking how objects relate to each other, there are a number of issues that can occur with the information. And it all boils down to missing dependency information. With the ability to create objects with deferred name resolution, changes to the names of columns, or objects being dropped, there are a number of situations where the dependency information on the catalog views are incorrect. Rather than explaining it here, you should read this post from Thomas LaRock (Blog | @SQLRockstar) and this one by Aaron Bertrand (Blog | @AaronBertrand)
In this post, we discussed the use of sys.sql_dependencies and sys.sql_expression_dependencies over sysdepends. Using sys.sql_dependencies to replace the compatibility view basically covers everything that is needed, while sys.sql_expression_dependencies can get you a little bit more. After reading all of this, do you see any reason to continue using sysdepends? Is there anything missing from this post that people continuing to use the compatibility view should know?

Sistas: The Musical
na St. Luke's Theatre
Sistas The Musical is an uplifting musical journey about a multi-generational African-American family.
Based on a series of interviews conducted with Black women over a six-year period, using a playlist of songs made famous by artists that include Billie Holiday, Lena Horn, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Beyoncé and others, this Musical tells of the struggles, the joys and the triumphs of being Black and of being a Woman in America.
Told through the life and experiences of one woman and the women in her family, the story easily segues from the days of Jim Crow to the present and covers a range of topics from segregation, the women's movement to the meaning of love and control.
The narrative in Sistas The Musical is stitched together using the lyrics of songs that perfectly capture the mood and speaks to the issues of each period and time; Strange Fruit, Society's Child, Taint Nobody's Business; to expressions of self-worth and independence - I am Not My Hair by India.
