So, anybody interested in another meeting in the spring/summer/autumn?
My house seems to work well as place to meet and in the summer we could also include other activities like BBQ.
I accidentally the whole CDZ (is it bad?) just to play games with my kids and I just ordered the last connectors I need to start to build the CMVS, so we have more hardware available here next time. Also I could arrange the family to be at summer cottage, leaving us with two TVs and two projectors.

Part of series: VF010 Vertical Flow 010 – Perspective Arrows Up
Series Keywords: chart of launch resulting from an event, planning and preparation and then implementation concept, working toward a deadline chart, an event that allows for growth
These arrow frameworks can be used to illustrate several concepts: a launch resulting from an event, planning and preparation and then implementation, working toward a deadline, an event that allows for growth, etc.
The arrow frameworks have been developed in two versions: v1 that focuses on the arrows and v2 that illustrates the pathway and the arrows equally. The arrowheads are not connected to the arrow shaft, which allows you to adjust the individual arrow heights to whatever is needed.

Brantley Gilbert vs. Jason Aldean – The Showdown
Yesterday's Showdown was the most voted on ever! Fans of Brantley Gilbert and Eric Church displayed their loyalty, casting votes until the last seconds of the contest on Taste of Country Nights radio. In the end, Gilbert's 'Kick It in the Sticks' won with just over 60 percent of the vote, meaning the soon-to-be hit song will take on another challenger. Today, it's a good friend of the 'Halfway to Heaven' famer.
Jason Aldean's new album may be the year's most anticipated. Last week, he released the first single, a mid-tempo country love song called 'Take a Little Ride.' Aldean sings it with familiar country road grit and savvy. It's as easy to sing along with as any song on country radio, but does the song resonate loud enough to topple the red-hot 'Kick It in the Sticks?'
Listen to clips of both Gilbert's and Aldean's songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour online, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. Hear the full versions of the songs tonight after 10PM on Taste of Country Nights, and vote again by calling (888) 678-9995. You can listen to the show online through any of the 33 radio stations that carry it. Voting will end tonight at 10:40PM CT.
Listen to a Sample of the Brantley Gilbert, 'Kick It in the Sticks'
Listen to a Sample of Jason Aldean, 'Take a Little Ride'
Showdown Rules: The song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a new challenger in the next Showdown. Vote as much as once per hour. If a song wins five days in a row, it will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete. Some songs will be considered for a second Showdown if voter turnout is healthy in a losing effort.

You can learn a lot by strolling down the digital aisles of Shopify's most successful stores. Check out some awesome things other Shopify store owners are doing to set themselves apart from the rest, improve customer satisfaction, and drive up sales.
Provide Extra Personalized ServiceMuch like an upscale brick-and-mortar boutique, online stores have the opportunity to set themselves apart from the competition by offering high-end service. For example, Melondipity is a baby store that understands its target audience. Moms are always on the go and aren't always in front of a computer. Knowing this, Melondipity uses SMS technology to communicate with its clients by sending specials and discounts via text messages.
Captivate Your ShoppersEver walked by a chocolate shop with a big glass window and seen the chocolatiers working their magic? If so, chances are you were tempted to go in and buy something sweet and delicious. Same thing goes for online stores: If you grasp customers' attention right from the get-go and entertain them a bit, they'll be more likely to shop. Rachel Comey sells amazing men's shoes and has her entire catalog presented through a movie-like scenario. The movies are really cool and almost addictive! It's engaging, it's fun and it keeps shoppers where they're supposed to be... browsing her products.
Take Pride in Every PieceCurate each and every item in your store's collection. Holstee is a boutique shop that hand picks items like a museum. Holstee uses the term "curate" because it's clear that a lot of thought goes behind each product. If everything you sell is top-quality, people will get excited to see what products are out next, and they'll become loyal to your brand. Check out the Holstee Manifesto, we have it hung up in the Shopify office.
Don't Compete With AmazonYou don't have their inventory, their variety, or their prices, so don't bother going head to head with the big guy. Instead, focus on your own unique strengths and get creative! For example, Shopify store owners Patrick Buckley and Craig Dalton used traditional book binding techniques to create iPad Cases. They called it a DODOCase, and last year they brought in 7-digit revenue.
Engage Customers Through Social MediaMost people don't go to the shopping mall alone. They make it a social event and they bring a friend to get a second opinion, so it should come as no surprise that social eCommerce is the next big thing. Of a Kind is a limited edition apparel store that brings retail and editorial together by fusing an online store into a Tumblr blog. Shoppers can re-blog, comment, and 'like' the garments and accessories they think are cool. It's great marketing and it makes shopping more interactive and fun.

What a great post! Thanks for sharing!

Don't Compete With Amazon! (come on everyone, say it together!) Besides unique products smaller shops have another advantage… the ability to provide one-on-one sales or service Amazon can only dream of. When you build a relationship with your customers they'll stop the comparison shopping (unless you really do them wrong!) and go back to your shop every time. That's why I've reiterated the "don't compete with Amazon bit" to our customers (Olark) as well.

Great wrap up and proud to have Holstee in the line up!
Rachel especially loving your innovative site design and use of video – crazy that you were able to have such a versatile site within shopify.
Of a Kind – love what you are doing and what you stand for. Small local production of products that people can share a story about is something we love. Rockin idea with tumblr a perfect combination of two great services.

Great Ideas

Wow! 7 figures for DODOcase. That's incredible. Excellent execution on their part to keep up with demand.
May 10 2011, 07:21PM
Excellent points and I really like the diversity of the examples.
May 11 2011, 04:35PM
Thanks for all the great comments everyone!
Roland: I'll say it with ya "Don't Compete With Amazon!!!!" :-)
May 18 2011, 09:38AM
Great points. I particularly like the section on really knowing your customers. Many retailers view that as trying to customize for each customer, which isn't possible, so they don't do anything. But melondipity shows that by understanding your customers as a whole—their needs, pain points, etc—you can add functionality that makes many of them happy.
Understand your customers and you can go a long way! :-0
August 19 2011, 12:38PM
Targeting the right consumers and visitors is the top most secret for an e-seller. I thing the SMS discount idea by Melondipity was the right idea!


text: ~MaryO~ 243 Report post Posted May 24, 2005 As I've said in another post: People interested in the silicone bands - I've ordered 60 medium (7 3/8") yellow silicone bands, 40 medium blue, and 60 large (8 3/8") yellow. These all say CUSHING'S HELP & SUPPORT. These are are made from 100% silicone, and are stronger and longer lasting than rubber bracelets. Reminderband™ works closely with the production facility to guarantee that quality is consistent in all sizes and colors. To ensure that we are producing the highest quality silicone bracelets on the market, the Reminderband™ team conducts ongoing production tests and research. Rest assured, Reminderband™ is second to none. If all 140 of these get sent out, I'll order more...and you can let me know what phrase you'd like to see on them. I would have to order any other phrases in lots of 20 each. There could be other colors, if you want to get away from the blue and yellow - and there's a glow in the dark version! The estimated shipping date to me is Friday June 10th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-England footballer Paul Gascoigne has been admitted to a treatment centre in the United States.
The alcoholic former Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio and Newcastle United star, 45, has "willingly" been admitted to an un-named centre, his management company said on Tuesday.
The move came after fears for the Italia 90 and Euro 96 legend when he appeared unwell and shaking during a charity appearance in Northampton last week, when he broke down sobbing on stage in front of a room full of fans.
In a statement, GamePlan Solutions said Gazza had been touched by the help and support shown by fans and figures within football over the past few days.
"Alcoholic Paul Gascoigne has been experiencing a tough time of late."
"He has been asking for help and has willingly been admitted to a treatment centre in America.
"He has complex issues that are currently being dealt with by professionals.
"Paul has been extremely touched and overwhelmed by the generous offers of help and support over the past few days.
"He is motivated to fully understand and control his addiction problem under guidance."

Toga Day was lame. I was one out of maybe ten other people who actually attempted to wear something toga-ish today. Hardly any of the people in Student Government (who decided this whole thing) wore a toga, either! Ah well, at least I appeared to be different...now it's Twin Day tomorrow, and I don't know if Chelsea (my best friend) and I are doing it. I'll have to ask her later.
I am subscribed to an RSS feed for Yahoo! sports news, and I found a lovely article today that features Thomas Vanek's BFF Derek Roy.
But wait, as I read this...Derek, you smite me!
"1) Who is your all-time favorite roommate on the road?"
Me: Well, obviously, IT'S THOMAS VANEK. I don't know if you two room together, but I think that would be pretty awesome. Max should sleep in the bathtub, or you can rotate so the entire RAV line is in one room.
"I like Andrew Peters, but he's a little overboard a lot of times. But he's always fun. He keeps you on your toes. You never know what he's going to do - beat you down with a pillow or wrestle you. He keeps you on your toes."
Me: Whaaaaaaat? So now we know how Petey practices his fights - on you, Derek! Please stop telling him to dance around like he's in the middle of a ballroom, thank you.
So I scrolled a bit more through the questions, and the last one struck me.
"5) What is the best concert you've ever attended?"
Me: I bet it's something classical. TRANS SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA. OR MAYBE THE KILLERS, SINCE THEY'RE DEREK'S FAVORITE GROUP!
"An Aerosmith concert (at Darien Lake). I was sitting front row. It was really good."
I thought I had gotten full lulz from Sabres today, but then Craig Rivet didn't let me down.
What song are you embarrassed about having in your iPod?
"I don't really have it in my iPod but I kind of listen to it on XM Radio a lot – it's that Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana or whatever.
"My 6-year-old daughter started to get into that stuff and now I'm into it too. I think it's great."
What the hell? Do you happen to know a Mr. Nolan Pratt, Mr. Rivet? He happens to sort of like Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana too because of his daughter. Maybe you should meet up sometime and discuss Miley's latest scandalous deed. (Oh Pratters, I miss you. ):)

Spoken like a true 12 Stepper.
I have a Thai Buddhist friend and when she talks it sometimes sounds like there isn't much of a difference between god and Buddha. I am fairly sure that in original Buddhism the goal is a 'state of mind' (Not a destination) called Nirvana. However, like most everything else, christianity has bastardized that message. I presume she doesn't even know that she's doing it, though it is entirely possible that she may be just appeasing her xtian peers. Seems dishonest but unless you have experienced Alaska for some extended time you can't really understand how theocratic the prevailing mindset here is.
Sometimes it seems that even Utah may be more secular than AK.
I wrote something here a while back that touches on some of these issues.
"Theravada Buddhism, atheism, and clearing up some misconceptions"
There's a big difference between 'real' Buddhism and what people believe it to be...
I've heard lots of people say that if you're an atheist, you're not spiritual. I think that people wrongly confuse spirituality with religion. Spiritualism, to me at least, is nothing more than feeling connected with the things around you. Getting in tune with nature, as it were. We all need that feeling of connection with the things around us. Isn't that kinda what the hippie movement was about? Love and peace and connection? Tree hugging? They, I think, rejected the mainstream of spiritualism and made it their own, albeit with lots of drugs as a catalyst. You only have to listen to Neil DeGrasse Tyson talk about the universe to feel the wonder it holds. The fact that we are "star stuff" brings me a great deal of joy. Buddhism is just a spiritual philosophy, not a religious one, I think.

Hi there!
My name is Sergei and I am an "all-in-one" web-developer from Tallinn, =)
For the last 6 years I have been working in web design company in Estonia. During this time I have participated in totally different range of projects: from business, corporate and promo websites to cms, web-apps, and social networks front and back-end development.
"All-in-one" is my basic problem. I am excited about many things simultaneously. I love to code and write scripts (both server- and client-side) but I also love everything about visual design.
I can't choose between these two things so I do both. ThemeForest seems to be the best place for it.

Viread (Tenofovir)
November 2005
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
BackgroundViread is an anti-HIV drug manufactured by Gilead Sciences Inc. The drug is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, similar in action to the nucleoside reverse transcriptor inhibitor (NRTI) class of HIV drugs. The FDA approved Viread for use in fighting HIV in October 2001.
CoformulationsTruvada (a fixed-dose, once-daily, co-formulation of Viread with the HIV drug Emtriva) was approved by the FDA in August 2004. Gilead is currently working with Bristol-Myers Squibb to develop a combination pill of Sustiva, Viread, and Emtriva as a complete, one-pill, once-a-day HIV regimen.
DoseThe recommended dose of Viread is one 300 mg tablet once a day.
Food RestrictionsViread can be taken with or without food.
StorageViread should be stored at room temperature (77°F).
Patient AssistanceGilead Sciences Inc. has a Reimbursement and Assistance Program for Viread. The number is 800.226.2056.
Side Effects and ToxicityThe most common side effects of Viread are nausea, diarrhea, weakness, vomiting, and flatulence (intestinal gas), pain, headache, and rash. Caution should be used in patients with bone disease risk factors or a history of bone problems. Bone monitoring is recommended for HIV infected patients who have a history of pathologic bone fracture or are at risk for osteopenia, as well as supplementation with calcium and vitamin D. Long-term study has shown that the lumbar spine is the most likely location for bone loss in patients taking Viread.
As with other HIV drugs, changes in body shape may occur in persons taking Viread. Changes include increased fat in the upper back and neck, breasts, and the trunk of a person's body, as well as loss of fat from the legs, arms, and face. Also, a risk of lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) with steatosis (fatty liver) exists with all NRTIs.
Because Viread is cleared by the kidneys, renal (kidney) impairment is a possible side effect of Viread. Persons with kidney problems must take a lower dose of Viread, to be determined by a doctor based on creatinine clearance. Viread has not been tested in persons with liver problems and is not indicated for the treatment of Hepatitis B. In fact, severe hepatitis flare-ups have been reported in HIV+ patients with Hepatitis B who stopped taking Viread. Patients should be tested for Hepatitis B before starting Viread. Pregnant women should not take Viread.
Drug InteractionsViread significantly increases the levels of Videx in your blood. This increase in Videx levels could cause an increase in Videx side effects, which may include but are not limited to pancreatitis, lactic acidosis, peripheral neuropathy, and T-cell toxicity (reduced counts of T cells). If Videx EC (the newer, "enteric-coated" formulation) and Viread are taken in the same regimen by adults (greater than 132 lbs), the dosing of Videx EC should be reduced to 250 mg, instead of the usual 400 mg. In addition, the 2 drugs should be taken together under fasting conditions or with a light meal. If buffered Videx is being used, both drugs can be taken together but under fasting conditions. The combination of Viread and Videx may not be ideal for patients with other options; this combination should definitely not be used with Sustiva or Viramune because a greater chance of regimen failure is possible.
Viread lowers the levels of Reyataz in the body. Therefore, boosting once-daily Reyataz (300 mg) with 100 mg of Norvir is recommended when taken with Viread (all as a single daily dose with food). Both Reyataz and Kaletra increase levels of Viread so patients taking either of these combinations should be monitored closely for Viread-related side effects.
Viread is eliminated by the kidneys and may interact with other drugs that are eliminated by the kidneys. Examples of these drugs include Zovirax (acyclovir), Valtrex (valacyclovir), Cytovene (ganciclovir), Valcyte (valgancyclovir), and Vistide (cidofovir). Company officials have stated that Viread should definitely not be taken with Vistide (cidofovir). Viread does not appear to have any interactions with Methadone, Hepsera (adefovir dipivoxil), or ribavirin.
Additional Information
Resistance and Cross-ResistanceViread selects for the K65R mutation, the same mutation selected for by Ziagen and Videx. Patients with mutations associated with other classes of anti-HIV drugs maintained susceptibility to Viread and their viral load drops ranged from 0.04 to 1.0 log. In persons with no mutations associated with Retrovir (at codons 41, 67, 70, 210, 215,or 219; also referred to as nucleoside analog mutations or NAMs), the average viral load drop was 0.85 log. In patients with 1 or 2 NAMs, the average viral load dropped 0.6 log. In patients with 3 or more NAMs, including 41L and 210W, the viral load drop was reduced to 0.23 log. In patients with 3 or more NAMs, not including 41L or 210W, the average viral load drop was 0.65 log. In addition, this study seems to indicate that mutations emerged more slowly in patients who added Viread than persons who added placebo to their standard background therapy. Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) mutations occurred in 24% of patients in the placebo group versus 16% taking Viread. Similarly, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) mutations arose in 10% of patients in the placebo arm versus 5% in the Viread group. Protease inhibitor mutations emerged in 8% of the patients in the placebo arm versus 2% in the Viread arm.
Clinical DataApproval for Viread was based primarily on 2 efficacy studies. Study 907 was a 24-week, double-blind placebo controlled multicenter study of Viread added to a stable background treatment (SBT) regimen of anti-HIV drugs in 550 treatment-experienced patients. CD4 T cell counts of patients at baseline ranged from 23 to 1385 cells/mm3 (median 426 cells/mm3); and plasma HIV RNA ranged from 50 to 75,900 copies/mL (median 2340 copies/mL). The mean duration of prior HIV treatment was 5.4 years. At baseline 368 patients were randomized to the Viread arm and 182 patients were randomized to the placebo arm. Through week 24, the time-weighted average change from baseline HIV RNA in the Viread arm was -0.61 log versus -0.03 log in the placebo arm; similarly, the mean change in the absolute CD4 T cell count in the Viread arm was +11 versus -5 cells/mm3 in the placebo arm. At week 24 a total of 149 patients (40%) in the Viread arm had <400 copies/mL versus 20 patients (11%) in the placebo arm. In addition, 71 patients (19%) in the Viread arm versus 2 patients (1%) in the placebo arm had <50 copies/mL at week 24.
Data through 48-weeks are reported for Study 903, a double-blind, active-controlled multicenter study comparing Viread (300 mg once daily) given in combination with Epivir (lamivudine) + Sustiva (efavirenz) versus Zerit (stavudine) + Epivir + Sustiva in 600 antiretroviral-naive patients. The mean baseline CD4 cell count was 279 cells/mm3 (range 3-956) and median baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA was 77,600 copies/mL (range 417-5,130,000). Patients were stratified by baseline HIV-1 RNA and CD4 count. Forty-three percent of patients had baseline viral loads >100,000 copies/mL and 39% had CD4 cell counts <200 cells/mL. At baseline, 299 patients were placed on the Viread arm and 301 patients were placed on the Zerit arm. Achievement of plasma HIV-1 RNA concentrations of <400 copies/mL at week 48 was similar between the 2 treatment groups for the population stratified at baseline on the basis of HIV-1 RNA concentration (< or >100,000 copies/mL) and CD4 cell count (< or >200 cells/mm3). Through 48 weeks of therapy, 79% of patients in the Viread arm had <400 copies/mL versus 82% in the Zerit arm. In addition, 76% and 79% of patients in the Viread and Zerit arms, respectively achieved HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL. The mean increase from baseline in CD4 cell count was 169 cells/mm3 for the Viread arm and 167 cells/mm3 for the Zerit arm. Six percent of patients on the Viread arm experienced virologic failure versus 4% in the Zerit arm. Through 48 weeks, 8 patients in the Viread group and 6 patients in the stavudine group experienced a new CDC Class C event.

Well, we just finished the fourth week of our chulent (a.k.a. cholent) mission. (I'm trying a new recipe every week, as long as my friends continue providing!) This week was somewhat of a fiasco. I had planned to try my cousin's South American Chulent, which uses dried white corn. I thought I remembered seeing dried corn at the supermarket, but the one I visited on Thursday didn't have any. I already had the meat, so we fell back on a tried-and-true recipe this week: my mother's chulent! And we had to admit that this is our favorite of the meat chulent's so far. (Esther Shemtob's Hamin is the only one we've tried with lamb, and that's also a definite 'keeper.')
Here's the recipe for our long-standing family favorite. The cumin and chili powder are unusual but REALLY good. Thanks, Mommy!
Mommy's Meat Chulent
1/2 bag mixed chulent beans
1 cup pearl barley
3 Idaho potatoes, cubed
1-2 pounds of flanken
1 onion chopped
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
Soak the beans overnight. Drain and combine with the remaining ingredients. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low. Leave the chulent simmering on low until Shabbos morning, or until you're ready to eat, at least 24 hours if possible. Serve hot.

I can't believe I am looking at your blog right before Shabbos! Love your blog--but where is the vegetarian cholent?ReplyDelete
Ok, Laura, now the pressure is on! this week we tried another meat chulent but next week I promise to try a vegetarian one. I made one a couple of months back and it was quite good. Please check back next week...and thanks for keeping me on my toes!ReplyDelete

Red Sox name Eddie Bane a special assistant
This from the Red Sox:
The Boston Red Sox today named Eddie Bane Special Assistant to Player Personnel.
"We are committed to having the best evaluators working together with the best analytic minds to guide us in our player decisions," said [general manager Ben] Cherington. "Eddie is a highly respected evaluator and has been instrumental in finding high caliber talent for the organizations he's been a part of. The club will benefit immensely from his nearly 40 years of experience as a player, coach, scout and evaluator in professional baseball."
Bane, 60, spent the last two seasons in the Detroit Tigers organization as a major league scout after serving as Director of Scouting for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for seven seasons from 2004-10. While with the Angels, Bane oversaw the scouting of amateur and minor league talent, as well as the signing of domestic and international players. Under his direction the Angels selected and signed players such as Jered Weaver, Kendrys Morales, Mark Trumbo and Mike Trout.
Prior to his time with the Angels, Bane spent five seasons as a special assistant to former Tampa Bay Rays General Manager Chuck LaMar. From 1988-98 he was a national cross-checker and major league scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also previously worked in the Cleveland Indians organization for four years, managing Short-A Batavia for two seasons from 1984-85 and serving as a cross-checker and scout from 1984-87. Bane began his post-playing career as pitching coach for the Dodgers Rookie-level Lethbridge affiliate in 1983.
A member of the National College Baseball Hall of Fame, Bane was a standout lefthanded pitcher at Arizona State University prior to his selection by the Minnesota Twins in the first round of the 1973 First-Year Player Draft (11th overall). He went straight from college to the major leagues and enjoyed an eight-year professional career from 1973-79. In 44 games, including 25 starts, over parts of three seasons with the Twins (1973, 1975-76), he went 7-13 with two saves and a 4.66 ERA.
Bane's son Jaymie, one of his four children, has served as a pro scout for the Red Sox since November 2006.

Hatch op-ed backs Senate plan
Sen. Orrin Hatch will vote for the Senate's immigration legislation, the Utah Republican said on Tuesday.
"Is this legislation perfect or what I would have drafted? Absolutely not," Hatch wrote in a column in the Salt Lake Tribune. "But as it stands now, the Senate immigration bill makes sure that these 11 million people are paying into society, and fixes many of the pressing issues associated with our broken immigration system. That's why I will vote for it this week."
Story Continued Below
His comments came a day after 67 senators voted in favor of an amendment that would significantly bolster resources for border security.

"Some have said this bill grants amnesty, but that's just not true," Hatch continued after praising that amendment for strengthening border security. "We have de facto amnesty right now, and this bill fixes that. The fact is that in order to be put on a pathway to citizenship, immigrants currently here illegally would be required to pay a fine, pass criminal and national security background checks and pay taxes."
Hatch has opposed immigration reform in the past.

Firstly, I'd like to thank Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, authors of 'Good Omens', for the title of this blog. Anathema Device, the Professional Descendant of the novel, is not a genealogist but it seems like a good job description for someone who has based a career on who their ancestors were. Anathema is a descendant of the witch Agnes Nutter and appears to have inherited some of her ancestor's talents. Having long suspected there were some Nutters in my own family tree I feel a certain kinship with her!
These days I spend most of my time researching other people's ancestors and I felt it was time my lot started earning their keep. This blog will be a place to tell some of their stories, to celebrate them and to air some of the family's dirty laundry. I also intend to include some extracts from the records I come across whilst carrying out research and to discuss some of the broader questions raised by the study of family history.
My own ancestors are a mix of English, Scottish and Irish. A fairly ordinary bunch but at times quite a challenge to trace. What fascinates me about family history is not only the process of research, piecing together small scraps of information to reconstruct a person's life, but also what it can reveal about social history and human behaviour, the insight it gives into a world that can seem very different from our own but populated by individuals with our strengths and our weaknesses, our virtues and our failings.

WMATA has a zero tolerance policy regarding the use cell phones and texting devices while on the job. It is also illegal to text and drive in DC.
That some WMATA employees continue to do so, despite the clearly stated rules and laws, could easily lead one to conclude that these employees feel above the law. Wonder why?
From Matthew:
The route was one of the 90 buses (either 90,92,93 -- definitely NOT 96). It was Feb. 19, 2010 at around 3:30-3:45 p.m. The bus, number 2134, was packed, hence me standing so close and taking the picture. And yes, she was driving at the time!Read more about Metro's zero tolerance policy here. Another distracted driver.
She drove to 14th and
