When a 50 year old at church asks you if you have a facebook page and you have to reply no...that makes you very uncool.
This blog is my snail start into the communication realm of the 21st century. But, I've noticed this fancy twittering thing going on on some blogs and how fun is that! Maybe I need to step up my game and get on board with it before my 90 year old grandma beats me to it.
Does anyone twitter?

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

William A. Smith: "A relentless regimen of drawing..."
Theodore J. Keane, who had once been the dean at the Chicago Art Institute School, was the young Bill Smith's first art teacher and mentor back in Toledo, Ohio, where Smith was born.
"That teenage study was not of the glamorous sort," says the article on Smith in the June 1952 issue of American Artist. "At least it would not have been except for the magic of Keane's inspiring influence."
"Indeed it was a relentless regimen of drawing from casts and still lifes for two full years before a living model was thought of."
"But in those years," continues author Ernest W. Watson, "Bill really learned to draw and he learned a lot about those intangibles which activate the more subtle facets of his dramatic career."

I'd been aware of Smith in a dim kind of way, & seeing these pieces is very revealing. That first bar scene is masterful -- his sense of light & shade is almost like that of Caravaggio. The rigid academic training really does pay off.ReplyDelete
You are so right on the money Neil. The very first thing I noticed about Smith's work in the late 50's and early 60's, was his incredible draftsmanship... every inch of his illustrations are carefully and accurately drawn. His people ring true to reality, and he puts equal care and accuracy into painting the bar stools and bottles of liquor on the shelf. With the ability to draw and paint everything well, It gives the illustrator the rock solid foundation to take their approach and technique any direction they desire. Solid draftsmanship is fundamentally critical, and just can't be faked.ReplyDelete
Tom Watson
That quality of draftsmanship must be the element that has always made me think of Fawcett when I look at Smith's work, Tom. Both artists share that commitment to accuracy and solidity in everything they draw and paint. Nothing is fudged - yet they both manage to stay away from the tedium of photorealism.ReplyDelete
Now posting as myself, rather than "anonymous".ReplyDelete
I was lucky growing up as Bill and Ferol Smith's daughter. I went to life-drawing classes when I was 5 and still have many of these drawings! I now work in film, a sort of "moving" illustration. The training paid off! I also inherited many of Dad's teacher, Theodore Keane's, treasures: reference books, an etching press, mannequins...

Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine
because it contains important information for you.
• Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.
• If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
• This medicine has been prescribed for you. Do not pass it on to others. It may harm

3. How to take Uard
4. Possible side effects
5. How to store Uard
6. Contents of the pack and other information
1. What Uard is and what it is used for
Uard contains diltiazem hydrochloride as the active substance. Diltiazem
hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines known as calcium channel blockers.
Uard is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It can also be used to
prevent and treat a certain type of chest pain known as angina. Uard works by
opening up blood vessels so that blood passes through them more easily, and so
reduces blood pressure and chest pain in angina.
2. What you need to know before you take Uard
Uard is not suitable for use in children.
Do not take Uard
• if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to diltiazem hydrochloride or any of the other
ingredients of Uard (see Section 6 for a full list of ingredients)
• if you are pregnant or could become pregnant
• if you are breast-feeding
• if you have a very slow heart rate, less than 40 beats per minute (severe bradycardia)
• if you have a condition called sick sinus syndrome (an abnormality of heart rate or
heart rhythm) or if you suffer from second or third degree heart block (this is a
problem with the electrical impulses of the heart), unless you have a working
pacemaker fitted
• if you suffer from left-sided heart failure (left ventricular failure), with symptoms
such as shortness of breath and swelling of the ankles
• tricyclic antidepressants, such as imipramine
• antidepressants known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors/MAOIs, such as
moclobemide or phenelzine
• itraconazole (used to treat fungal infections)
• mefloquine (used for treating and preventing malaria)
• corticosteroids, sometimes simply referred to as steroids, such as hydrocortisone,
prednisolone or methylprednisolone (they may be prescribed in many different
illnesses but their main action is in controlling inflammation)
• simvastatin, atorvastatin or lovastatin (medicines for lowering cholesterol)
• lithium (used in cases of marked mood changes or mania)
• nitrate medicines, such as glyceryl trinitrate or isosorbide mononitrate (used to
treat angina)
• ulcer-healing medicines, such as cimetidine and ranitidine.
It may still be safe for you to take Uard; your doctor or pharmacist will be able to
advise you further.
If any of the above apply to you, it is important that you tell your doctor, pharmacist
or nurse before taking Uard and they will decide what to do. It may still be safe for
you to take Uard.

Setting and question
Let $X$ be a variety over an algebraically closed field of null characteristic, and let $C$ be a (regular if you want) curve included in $X$. Consider $X'$ the normalization of $X$ and $C^*$ the sheaf-theoric pull-back of $C$ in $X$. Assume that $C^*$ is reduced, or even regular if you want.
The function field of each irreducible component of $C^*$ gives an extension of the function field of $C$. On all the examples that I've been able to compute, these extensions are Galois extension. How to prove it as a general fact ?
Let $X$ be the surface defined by $A = k[x,y,z]/(x^2-zy^2)$, and let $C$ be the curve given by $(x,y)$. Then $A'$ is $A[x/y]$, — that is to say $k[u,y,z]/(u^2-z)$, with $u=x/y$ —, and $C^*$ is given in $A'$ by the ideal $(y)$.
Thus, the field extension is $k(\sqrt{z}) | k(z)$, which is Galois.

didn't Zodd have just one horn? Because in the picture it looks like it has two.
From that point on the speculations can go in every direction,
the child could have taken control of Griffith, or Griffith could have consciously done it, maybe out of guilt, maybe because he felt like being a family, etc.
That's the power of a member of the God Hand.
...I just love it. So logical and obvious too, right under our noses all along. All it takes is to pay attention, let this be a lesson to everybody.
That's quite a theory, Aaz. Maybe this is silly, but didn't Zodd have just one horn? Because in the picture it looks like it has two.
Jesus what an implication... This is HUGE! Great find, Aaz. I'm amazed that it fits in with all the evidence too. Well, it certainly solidifies several mysteries regarding Griffith's connection with the Child, and our initial inklings that the Demon Child and it are related.
I think Griffith may have been drawn there against his will. Like Aaz mentioned, I'd still like to think of them as two seperate personalities, and I think that fits the bill thus far.
I wonder if Griffith retains his memories while in this state, or if they're lost. If so, he'd have an integral understanding of Guts' current condition. Furthermore, that possibility would allow plots in the future to incorporate a one-way, indirect conversation between Guts and Griffith, without Guts frothing at the mouth.
That's the power of a SUPERIOR BEING, another clue that fits. I wonder if that same kanji for the episode title has been used for Griffith before...
I meant the hill picture.
Wow, are you serious? That's all you got out of this new information?
perhaps Griffith is overcome by the Moonlight Child whenever the moon is full, transforming into what Casca and Guts' child might have been like if he was left untainted by Femto.
Yeah, whether he knows what's happening or just remembers being at one place and awakes at another, with a blank in-between. This really opens a lot of new possibilities for the development of their relationship. And man, when Casca's going to wake up... I can't even imagine.
Yeah, and guess what? We still haven't found what "Jan Anin" means yet. Maybe it's some obscure crypted dialect for "Griffith" or "The Hawk" or something ("God Hand?"). At this point it'd almost seem natural to me.
It's interesting to note that he came on Zodd's back and not alone too, and it means that Zodd knows. What an incredibly dangerous and powerful information. Does this mean the Skull Knight knows too? He disappeared right before Griffith the Child came up after all.
Plus, how is Guts going to feel once (if?) it's revealed to him? Will he be able to kill Griffith knowing that (and this is still just speculation) the untainted form of his child still exists inside the Hawk? The plot thickens...
This new revelation finally gives some form to Skully's words "What you wish for may not be what she wishes for..."
Well, according (mostly) to my instinct Jananin is Sanskrit for "newborn." So it refers to the fact the Child is obvious young, but also to Femto's incarnation. Of course that's not confirmed at all.
Maybe the child controls Zodd due to his higher being status. It just seems very odd for me. Even if he sees the Moonlight child helping Guts and Co., helping Guts is going against Griffith....!!!!
the panel - the one that's supposed to be Zodd-, something just bothers me about it. I don't kno, it could be, but it's a stretch...at least in my mind at this moment. I'll try and let it stew for awhile.
Now about Zodd, he only cares about serving Griffith at this point. Agreed?
So does that mean, he and Griffith are talking for a moment the BOOM, he transforms becomes the moonchild. Wouldn't Zodd point, look around for a moment, and ask "Who the hell are you?!" Then what? Maybe the child controls Zodd due to his higher being status. It just seems very odd for me.
Still, we won't know for sure until someone more qualified with the word comes along and teaches us...
the panel - the one that's supposed to be Zodd-, something just bothers me about it. I don't kno, it could be, but it's a stretch...at least in my mind at this moment.

"Is Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) for Dairy Right for Your Dairy"
Dr. Chad Hart, Assistant Professor, Iowa State University
Sponsored by: Compeer Financial
Continuing Education Credits: ARPAS (1), RACE (1)
Milk and feed prices continue to be more volatile than ever. Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy (LGM-Dairy) is an insurance product for dairy producers that is being offered through the Federal Crop Insurance Program. This insurance helps producers protect against price volatility. The product can be used for price protection for both milk and feed prices. Dr. Chad Hart will explain the product, federal subsidies and the rules that apply. In addition, he will explain government interactions with the producers using the program. Hart is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at Iowa State University. In addition, he is a partner in FarmRisk, an Iowa firm that develops revenue insurance products, including Livestock Gross Margin.

"Baby Calf Nutrition: Getting Your Future Off to a Good Start"
Dr. James Drackley, Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Sponsored by: APC, Inc.
Continuing Education Credits: ARPAS (1), RACE (1)
Proper nutrition during the first few weeks of life is essential to keep a newborn calf healthy and growing. Recent evidence indicates that complete nutrition is a critical determinant of future milk production, and possibly longevity in the herd, making the first two weeks of life critical for future herd performance. Managing the transition from milk to solid feeds is a second critical point in the animal's life. Dr. James Drackley will provide background information and practical guidelines for managing these important phases of heifer rearing. Drackley is professor of Animal Sciences and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During his tenure, his research has been focused on nutrition and metabolism of dairy cows during the transition from dry period to lactation, fat feeding and metabolism, and aspects of calf nutrition and management.

Queensryche Deny Usage of Geoff Tate Backing Tracks During Shows
Queensryche may be continuing with Todd La Torre out front instead of Geoff Tate, but there've been some accusations from fans that Tate is still a part of their show even though he's not there in person.
Having made their first performance as Queensryche after a handful of shows as Rising West, the group began to field questions debating whether or not they were using Geoff Tate's vocals as backing tracks for their performance.
La Torre, addressing those claims via his Facebook page, stated, "Many believe they are hearing Tate's voice. Let me clearly state that there are no backing vocals with his voice in any songs with my performance. Any tracks that have backing vocals have all been re-recorded with my voice and Eddie's [Jackson]."
He went on to add, "We don't use tracks to fake a lead vocal with me, but simply to give a fuller, nicer sound to a chorus. Yes, they are very similar and would naturally be heard as Geoff's – but they are not."
The singer states that timestamps on their source files would back up his claims, and he also wanted fans to know that he sings the full chorus of 'Empire' as well.
While Queensyrche's transition has been the stuff of headlines, the relatively unknown La Torre does have at least one backer in his camp. Stryper singer Michael Sweet has offered his nod of support after catching the new lineup on a recent festival bill.
Sweet posted on his Facebook page, "I personally had the opportunity to see Queensryche at Halfway Jam (we did our set before they did theirs) and I'm here to tell you that Todd has breathed new life into the band. Not only does he have the pipes to deliver the vocals but more important, he is as nice and as humble as they come. He's excited about the music and performance and doesn't take it for granted and it shows."
The vocalist added, "I've never met Geoff Tate personally so I certainly can't comment on who he is nor would I want to but I can say that it was a joy for me to see Queensryche with a sense of excitement and passion to perform. I'm quite biased and I don't throw compliments around unless they are earned and Todd more then earned my respect and applause at Halfway Jam. Change is always a bit uncomfortable but sometimes it's for the best. Trust me, you won't be disappointed."
In other Queensryche news, the band has signed on for the 'Monsters of Rock Cruise' that will take place March 16-20, 2013 leaving from Fort Lauderdale and hitting CocoCay and Nassau before returning to dock. Stryper, Tesla, Saxon, Lita Ford, Kix, Great White and more are also taking part.

The Autobiography of Lawrence Welk
By Lawrence Welk with Bernice McGeehan
Published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1971, softcover, 404 pages
"My earliest clean memory is of crawling across the floor of our sod farmhouse toward my father, who was smiling and holding out his accordion. And I can still recall the wonder and delight I felt when he let me press my fingers down on the keys, which were round and shiny like pearl buttons, and squeeze out a few wavering notes." --- Lawrence Welk (1903 - 1992)
Lawrence Welk was a son of Germans from Russia pioneers who immigrated from the Catholic Black Sea German village of Selz, Kutschurgan Enclave, South Russia [today Limanoskoe, near Odessa, Ukraine] in 1893, later homesteading in south-central North Dakota near Strasburg, Emmons County. His great-grandparents, Moritz and Magdalena Welk, immigrated in 1808 from their village in Alsace, France to Ukraine.
Lawrence's parents were Ludwig and Christina (Schwahn) Welk. Besides being a farmer, Ludwig Welk aprenticed as a blacksmith like his father in Ukraine. Eight children were born in the sodhouse which is still standing on their homestead. Still living today is Lawrence's youngest sister, Eva, who has generously contributed some of her cherished memorabilia from her brother to The Lawence Welk Collection at NDSU established in 1992.
Fern Renner Welk (Mrs. Lawrence Welk) is also of Germans from Russia ancestry, growing up on a farm south of Mandan, ND near St. Anthony. Her parents were born in the former Catholic German villages of the Beresan Enclave, South Russia.
This poor farm boy, whose love of music motivated him to leave home and follow his dream, built both his orchestra and the "Musical Family," which attracted and held the largest and most loyal audience in television history.
By the age of 17, he knew his desire was to make music his life's work. He talked his father into buying him a $400 accordion in return for a pledge to stay on the family farm for the next four years, plus turning over profits he made playing at barn dances. In 1924, on his 21st birthday, Lawrence Welk was ready to leave home. He had little money and could not speak English, having been raised in the German-speaking community of Strasburg. Musical talent, an overwhelming desire to succeed, and family values instilled in him by his strict German-Catholic upbringing were more than enough.
His first career break came when George T. Kelly tapped him for "The Peerless Entertainers," a touring company of musicians and actors. From there, Lawrence advanced to play on WNAX radio in Yankton, South Dakota in the 1930s. Welk's "Novelty Orchestra" became the "Honolulu Fruit Gum Orchestra," and then, in its final incarnation, became now legendary "The Champagne Music of Lawrence Welk."
As one of the big bands of the 1940s, his orchestra played for ten years at the Trianon Ballroom in Chicago. In 1951 his musical band appeared on television station KTLA in Los Angeles after a late-night movie. The response was tremendous! For the next four years, the band's popularity amassed a huge following in southern California.
During 1955, The Lawrence Welk Show began its lengthy run on ABC television, where it remained for sixteen years, until 1971. The show was then syndicated to more nation-wide stations. Audiences all over America recognized what local audiences had known for years. The Welk band played the styles of music which many Americans loved.
And the country embraced and cherished Lawrence! His shyness, his accent, his smile, his delight in his performance, and his sometimes quaint English endeared him to viewers. "Wunnerful, wunnerful!" and "Ah-one and ah-two" became part of America's vocabulary.

Oracle's Q4 beats estimates
It looks like I was wrong.
When Oracle exceeded Wall Street expectations at the end of its third quarter, I speculated that Oracle might have done so by draining its sales pipeline for Q4. I based that on word I had heard of some extremely generous discounts that Oracle was granting to prospects that signed by the end of Q3. Such a move would deliver superior results for Q3 but risked pulling in sales that might have otherwise closed in Q4.
At the time I wrote that readers should check back in three months to see if I was right. Well, now it's three months later and Oracle has announced Q4 new license sales that are 17% higher than the same quarter last year. That's well above Oracle's forecast of a 5-15% increase. Revenue overall rose 20%, and net profit jumped 23%. Impressive results all around.
So, what's going on? Catz attributed Oracle's success to execution, which is no doubt true. But it also confirms Oracle's strategy, in which it has been able to integrate a string of software acquisitions into its operations without losing customers. It also is showing momentum against its chief rival, SAP--a fact which it continues to promote on its website.
Oracle is now forecasting a whopping 20-30% increase in new license sales in its for its first quarter, which would include revenues from new acquisitions Hyperion and Agile Software.
The Wall Street Journal has more on Oracle's Q4 results.

Malware damages fall to $13.3 billion annually
Over at Computer Economics, we've just released our latest annual Malware Report. Included in the report, is our estimate of annual worldwide direct cost to business of malware attacks, where we report that such damages fell to $13.3 billion last year, from $14.2 billion in 2005.
We attribute the drop in direct cost damages to two factors, one good, one bad.
- The good factor is that, in our estimation, the antivirus vendors do a pretty good job of thwarting malware attacks before they can become the massive worldwide storms that organizations experience in previous years. It's been some time since we've seen an attack like the Love Bug in 2000, or even MyDoom, Netsky, or Sasser in 2004.
Therefore, direct cost damages may be declining but indirect and secondary damages are increasing. Follow the links below for further discussion of the implications of this point.
- The bad factor is that much of the drop in direct damages has to do with the changing nature of malware. Malware authors these days aren't writing viruses, worms, and trojans primarily to cause damage, but to make money. To make money, you don't damage the host computer--you keep it running to serve as a spam proxy, or to perpetuate click-fraud, or to steal confidential information, for example.
The full report, entitled, 2007 Malware Report: The Economic Impact of Viruses, Spyware, Adware, Botnets, and Other Malicious Code analyzes the cost of malware at the worldwide, organization, and event level.
An extended description of the report is available, as well as a more complete excerpt, on the Computer Economics website.by Frank Scavo, 6/10/2007 11:55:00 AM | permalink | e-mail this!

Oracle now charges SAP with copyright violation
Right on schedule, Oracle has amended its complaint against SAP and its third-party support unit, TomorrowNow (TN). (You can read the background on this case in my original post on the subject, and also developments prior to today in my post earlier this week.)
In its amended complaint, Oracle is adding copyright violation to its previous charges of theft of intellectual property. At the time of the original filing, Oracle had not registered the copyright for many of the support materials. It has since done so and is now suing for additional damages under U.S. copyright law.
In its amended filing, Oracle gives one interesting example of TN's copyright violations.86. The DST Solution. In at least one instance, SAP TN has also, publicly displayed, distributed, and thereby profited from Oracle's copyrighted Software and Support Materials. In December 2006, Oracle developed a knowledge solution related to the recent early change to Daylight Savings Time (the "DST Solution"). The DST Solution is a narrative document with specific instructions for how to conform certain Oracle software to the new Daylight Savings Time change. Oracle fielded more than a thousand service requests from its customers related to the Daylight Savings Time change, and its DST Solution helped resolve more than 750 of them.If this case involved anyone other than SAP, it is likely that upon discovering this activity, Oracle would have notified the offending party to cease-and-desist.
87. Oracle traced downloads of the DST Solution to SAP TN's IP address on January 8, 2007 and January 15, 2007. Oracle also noticed that SAP TN posted a "PeopleSoft Daylight Savings Time solution" on its website. SAP TN's "solution" is substantially similar in total–and in large part appears to be copied identically from–Oracle's DST Solution. SAP TN's copied version even includes minor errors in the original DST Solution that Oracle later corrected. SAP TN's version also substitutes an SAP TN logo in place of the original Oracle logo and copyright notice.
88. Oracle has registered the downloaded version of its DST Solution that SAP TN copied and created derivative works from, and later distributed and publicly displayed, as well as a later version that SAP TN also downloaded shortly before Oracle filed its original Complaint, Registration Nos. TX 6-541-019 and TX 6-541-018. No customer is licensed to create derivative works from, distribute or publicly display Oracle's Software and Support Materials, and neither is SAP.
As I noted previously, Oracle's earlier allegations of excessive and improper downloads might be explained by a TN consultant simply trying to work efficiently, using a single customer's user credentials to download materials for multiple customers.
The copyright infringement allegation, though, is harder to explain--essentially republishing an Oracle document, including errors, with an SAP logo. If true, TN has really handed Oracle a big club to use against SAP.
SAP denies any wrongdoing and promises to vigorously defend itself. It has until July 2 to respond.
Oracle has a special SAP lawsuit webpage with all related documents.

The volatile market environment has provided investors the opportunity to buy some stocks at discounts, Jim Cramer said on CNBC's "Mad Money." After all, quality stocks are sometimes brought down with the overall market when they should probably be trading at higher levels, Cramer said. Investors should be careful, though.
"There are other stocks that have sold off for a very different reason: because they deserve to go lower. These stocks are dangerous," Cramer said. "They lure you in with apparently low valuations that seem cheap, and then they lose you boatloads of money because they aren't really cheap— they're what we call value traps that have a long way to fall before they can find a bottom."
Cramer put together a list of potential value traps. He recommends investors stay away from these stocks for at least one quarter, meaning that before investors even consider buying these stocks again, they should wait for the underlying companies to report earnings. That way, investors can best gauge whether the underlying companies can turn things around.

Scripture: Matthew (NIV) 14:17 "We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered.
18 "Bring them here to me," he (Jesus) said.
19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples and the disciples gave them to the people.
20 They all ate and were satisfied and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children
Observation: The disciples took what was available and gave it to Jesus. Then they took what He gave them and gave it to the people.
Application: Here is a good pattern for me and for any disciple of Jesus. I take what I have available and give it to Jesus. Then I take what He returns to me and give it to those around me. NOTE: The disciples only gave out what Jesus had given to them! ALSO NOTE: Jesus only multiplied what they had given Him!
Prayer: Lord, at your direction, to place in your hands the little I have is the wisest thing I can do! Amen

Making friends for time and eternity!

OK. I talked at the Akron Public Library on Wednesday. Did a show with 0DFx that same night. Did some 0DFx recordings, hopefully for a new CD out soon, on Thursday. Showed Cleveland's Screaming in Cleveland last night (Friday), played another 0DFx show right after that, and tonight (Saturday) we have yet another 0DFx show. On Monday I'm going down to manly Mansfield for yet another Zen talk (info is linked at the end of the post below this one). Yeesh. The photo is of Jimi Imij (lead throat shredder of the mighty Defex) at the show Wednesday. On his chest is written "R.I.P GUNS." The Guns were a two-piece hardcore band that used to play loads of our shows. Sadly both have now passed to the Great Mosh Pit Beyond. We did one of their songs.
Last night I got to sleep at 4 AM, which is half an hour before I'd be waking up on a Zen retreat. I can do this kind of thing from time to time without any major ill effects. But I don't think I could keep it up on a regular basis. It's better for me to have a schedule that's a little closer to normal. I don't like waking up at 10 or 11. I used to do it all the time. Now I feel like I've missed the whole day. I guess the difference is in having experienced the morning -- I mean the real morning, just at dawn. Once you've experienced that it's hard to go back (like once you've gone Black). I don't think we're nocturnal creatures.
So anyway, being back in my home town means being back in the drama of friends and family. Oy vey. I hate god damned interpersonal bullshit drama. But there's one real important message I keep trying to convey over & over to all you Zen fans out there in Internets Land. And that is that there is no escape from interpersonal bullshit drama. People sometimes get this vision that they'll run off to some Zen temple or monastery and escape forever interpersonal bullshit drama. It won't happen. Never has. Never will. Forget it. This is one reason why Nishijima likes to expose all the interpersonal bullshit drama of Dogen Sangha to public view. It's far more honest than hiding it like most Buddhist groups do (you know who you are).
Sometimes when I read Dogen I notice that even he had to deal with this shit at his temples. You can see it in his talks to his monks. A lot of the hard to understand stuff in Shobogenzo and his other works can be traced to just this kind of stuff. You'll find it in Buddha's talks to his followers too. Don't let the arcane, ancient language fool you into believing those monks were not real people just like your idiot friends.
There should be a difference. And in the best of cases there actually is. But not that often. And the difference is that someone who does the practice should be aware of the fact that the drama is just drama and that it doesn't need to be quite so dramatic. The nasty thing that happens in Buddhist bullshit drama is that people go into passive aggressive mode. "Gassho, brother, (I hate your fucking guts) the Dharma, skillfull means, Compassion, blah-blah-blah (I'm sleeping with your girlfriend and I know you know and that's why I'm gonna do it again tonight), be well my brother, Gassho."
Gassho my fucking ASS. You know what? I propose a ban on ending e-mails with "gassho" or "deep bows" or any of that stupid passive aggressive hypocritical faux Buddhist bullshit. Banned forever! Done.
Sorry. Where was I? Oh yeah. Human drama. What to do? I wish I had an easy answer. I mostly ignore it as best I can. I also take sacrcastic people's sacrcasm at face value. Why thank you, this is a lovely pair of checkered bermuda shorts I'm wearing! Or whatever.
I gotta go do stuff. Enjoy life.
Gassho my dick.

Metropolis magazine is challenging designers to bring a typical U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) building in downtown L.A. to Zero in their annual design competition, Next Generation 2011: Get Zero. The challenge is to take an ordinary GSA office building in Los Angeles, apply immense skill and creative energy to achieve zero environmental impact – a goal that the GSA has set for its existing 9,600 properties. But this competiton isn't just for a handful of beans – to show you how serious they are about this initiative, the GSA and Metropolis will award the winning design with a whopping $10,000!
GSA, one of the world's biggest landlords, is being challenged by its Administrator Martha Johnson to achieve a Zero Environmental Footprint for its existing office buildings. With an incredible stock of of over 9,600 buildings, many dated, this competition is just the tip of the iceberg – how can forward thinking-design transform backwards-looking buildings?
Not just a call for obscure concepts, the GSA is looking for an idea able to supply the firepower it needs to make this drastic zero-impact transformation in all of its buildings. Using an 8-story building at 300 North Los Angeles Street (in the Civic Center area of Los Angeles), as the test case, entrants will need to design a complete solution able to transform the existing building, bringing it to the highest possible level of performance in a memorable, beautiful, and original way. Entrants may be teams working together to transform the entire building (and its surroundings), or individuals or small groups tackling one or two individual systems and elements (facade, roof, fenestration, interior furnishings and equipment, signage and way-finding, among many other details). The entries must also focus on making the building safe, accessible, and efficient for the people who work there and the thousands of citizens who visit it.
Sound like a lot to manage? Well, get on it because the entry deadline is January 31, 2011. And if the possibility of turning over 9,600 buildings into zero-impact havens isn't enough to convince you to get moving, don't forget that your winning design could place $10,000 in your pocket!

John Brown's Raid
At Harpers Ferry and Governor Henry Alexander Wise's
Letter to President James Buchanan Concerning the Invasion
By Isaiah A. Woodward
During John Brown's raid at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1859, Henry Alexander Wise, a Democrat from Accomac County, was governor of the state, while James Buchanan, a Pennsylvanian and graduate of Dickinson College, was president of the United States. Wise, who favored Buchanan's nomination at the Democratic Convention in 1856, believed in the institution of slavery. President James Buchanan believed in a policy of peace and moderation with the Southern states; he had pro-southern leanings for which his adversaries referred to him as a doughface. Furthermore, Buchanan showed consideration for the rights of the slaveholders of the South. His cabinet consisted of men from the slave states. Among this group were John C. Breckinridge, vice president of the nation, John B. Floyd, secretary of war, Isaac Toucey, secretary of the navy, and Howell Cobb, secretary of the treasury.1
Prior to (John Brown's) raid at Harpers Ferry on October 16, 1859, to obtain guns and ammunition from the federal arsenal in order to carry out a plan of emancipating slaves of Maryland and Virginia, the abolitionist Brown had drafted a constitution to be used in developing an independent integrated state in the West.2 In 1859, Brown and his organized band of invaders failed in their lawless raid at Harpers Ferry, as the federal government sent Colonel Robert E. Lee, a Virginian, with a detachment of Marines on a special Baltimore and Ohio Railway train3 to the dangerous area. At Harpers Ferry, Lee and his marines, with the aid of the Virginia Militia, captured Brown and six of his men at the fire engine house on the grounds of the arsenal (ten of Brown's men were killed and five escaped). One marine and six Virginia citizens were killed in the struggle.4 However, none of the citizens held as hostages by Brown in the firehouse was harmed. Secret papers concerning Brown's political and social movement were obtained by the authorities from the fire building.5
Among the blacks who took an active part in the raid were Osborn Anderson, John Copeland, Shields Green, Lewis Leary and Dangerfield Newby. Frederick Douglass and other free blacks helped Brown to collect money and recruit Negroes for the raid, but before the incident occurred, Douglass and most blacks refused to take up arms against Virginia.6
After Colonel Lee and his troops were ordered out of Harpers Ferry, Governor Wise organized a volunteer militia to guard the arsenal and other areas throughout Virginia. He informed President Buchanan that Brown's hostile attack on the arsenal would have been impossible had there been proper protection with "police and guards" under the leadership of a military officer.7
In writing President James Buchanan on October 24, 1859, concerning aspects of John Brown's lawless invasion of Harpers Ferry, Governor Henry Alexander Wise stated:
I have lately returned from Harpers Ferry, to which place I was suddenly called, on the 17th instant, by causes the most disturbing and destructive to the peace and safety of this State. A regularly organized band of lawless invaders, with the purpose of emancipating slaves in Maryland and Virginia by force and arms, at the expense of the lives and property of our people, seized the U. States arsenal, with its arms, munition & treasure, and made that arsenal a positive danger instead of being a protection to the surrounding country and its peaceful inhabitants. They seized upon the Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road, one of the great national thoroughfares, and arrested the Superintendent and cars with their passengers, and shot one of the Company's servants; they cut the telegraphic wires and prevented the transmission of intelligence on the highway; they shot down several of the most worthy & respectable of the citizens of the town; and shot and wounded dangerously several citizens of the adjoining neighborhood in Virginia, who went to the lawful defence of the arsenal and the town of Harpers Ferry. Particulars of these high crimes and felonies are as will be reported to you by the proper officers of the U. States. And I obey my duty to the Commonwealth whose people I am bound to protect, by a due execution of the laws to inform you that, after due personal examination of the causes of these outrages, and of the opportunities for their commission, I am convinced that they could not have been perpetrated, as they were, by less than twenty men, if a proper police & guard, under a military officer, had been duly organized & kept in force at the arsenal of Harpers Ferry. [This was the duty of the War Department under the orders of the President of the V. States, I presume.] (marked out in original) There was no watch worth naming kept at the arsenal, and no military or civil guard whatever. Finding, on Thursday morning last, that the U. States Marines, under Col. Lee, had been ordered away from Harpers Ferry, and that there was no guard left there, I organized a corps of volunteers, to watch and guard the confines of Virginia contiguous to & around the arsenal & grounds attached thereto, ceded to the U. States, and incidentally to afford protection to the same as well as to the people and territory of Virginia, until the Executive of the U. States shall order such police & guard as it may deem necessary & proper for such a place.
I have the honor to be most respectfully.
Henry A. Wise8
While John Brown and his associates were awaiting trial for treason in a prison in Charles Town, Virginia (West Virginia after 1863), several abolitionists formulated a plan to effect his escape.9 However, during the trial Brown and his followers were closely guarded. As a result of Governor Wise's security measures at Charles Town, John Brown's escape as planned by the abolitionists did not materialize. In the meantime, Wise received petitions from citizens of Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts and Canada, to spare the life of "Old Brown."10
By December 2, 1859, Brown was hanged. John Copeland, a free black of free Negro parents, who had moved from North Carolina to Oberlin, Ohio, was executed in 1860. Shields Green, a slave from South Carolina, was captured and also executed by 1860. Lewis Leary, a slave from North Carolina, was killed while escaping by way of the Shenandoah River. Dangerfield Newby, a free black of Harpers Ferry, was executed. Osborn Anderson, a free black from Pennsylvania and Canada, escaped,the Virginia authorities at Harpers Ferry. This young Negro later participated in the Civil War and helped to free blacks throughout the United States.11 Illness prevented Harriet Tubman from taking part in the raid at Harpers Ferry, thus saving her life.12
Brown's death made him a martyr for freedom. Meanwhile, Southern leaders feared the Harpers Ferry raid would influence slave insurrections throughout their section of the nation. Moreover, the slavery issue did much to increase tensions between the North and the South.

Now that the obligatory holiday trips to see family are in the books, consumers hoping for a more leisurely getaway may want to keep their suitcases handy. Experts say the travel deals available in January are often some of the best all year.
That's important because travelers can expect to pay more for airfare and hotel stays this year. Average daily rates for U.S. hotels increased 4.2% in 2012, to an average $106.23 in November, according to Smith Travel Research. Domestic airfare increased 4.5%.
Forecasts suggest more of the same this year. Part of the increase comes from economic recovery, but higher airfare also resulted from airlines cutting back schedules to fly fuller planes and maximize their profits, says Gabe Saglie, a senior editor for deal site Travelzoo.com.
Travelers booking this month — whether for last-minute getaways or a trip later in the year — may be able to score deals that negate those increases.

sorry if this is a dumb question, starting to learn to pump and store milk for return to work. So if I have a pumped bottle and DD only drank half, do I throw away the rest? If it was thawed, I read you can't store again, what about fresh milk..
sorry if this is a dumb question, starting to learn to pump and store milk for return to work. So if I have a pumped bottle and DD only drank half, do I throw away the rest? If it was thawed, I read you can't store again, what about fresh milk..
if they dont finish the milk from a bottle at the first feeding, you can offer it again for the next feeding but after that you would want to toss it.
if milk has been frozen and thawed you ideally want to use it within 24 hrs.
unfrozen milk can stay in the fridge for several days, it depends on each woman. some women have excess lipase which causes the milk to taste off, so their milk would not last with a fresh taste as long. there is nothing unhealthy or bad about this milk, just that babies often refuse it due to the funky taste. if you are freezing milk it is a good idea to test if you have the lipase issue.
the way to test is to express some milk, a small amount, leave it in the fridge and taste it periodically over a few days. the "off" taste is pretty clear.
hope that helps!
Huh. I just reoffer the milk at the next feeding. If you store it in small increments, then you have 1-2 feedings that you have thawed. I refuse to toss milk unless it is obviously bad.

I totally agree with the pp that said to check for lipase prior to building a freezer stash. You will be crushed if you find out that your entire freezer stash is rancid! (It happened to me and I had almost 900oz that DS refused to drink.)
I also am in agreement with aprilsmagic; I never toss milk unless it is obviously bad or DS refuses it. I can tell when mine starts to go bad because it starts to stick all over the sides of the bottle even after I shake it up. If there is leftover in the bottle I just stick it back in the fridge until the next feeding. You could also leave it out if you do not want to rewarm it. Most EBM is good at room temp for 4-6 hrs.

thanks all! We are giving her a "practice bottle". I put too much in the first time but now I'm giving her a smaller quantity just to practice so we don't waste. Thanks again!
mommyann - 900 oz! That sucks!

After more years than anyone can seem to remember, a faithful group of customers have made their way to H&A Restaurant "where everybody knows your name" to enjoy a home-cooked breakfast before beginning their day.
All that is left now are the memories as the iconic diner closed its doors for the last time Friday, leaving behind a legacy that has spanned the years.

Glenn Thornberry is, once again, thinking nothing of the milestone he hit March 13 — his 105th birthday.
There's a bit of a civil war breaking out in eastern Shelby County, and the first shot wasn't even heard.
This is about Waddy and Peytona – or is it Peytona and Waddy? – neighbors along Highway 395, which crosses Interstate 64 about 10 miles west of Lawrenceburg.
You may not have noticed, but if you travel eastbound on I-64, new signs placed there by the state now list the exit for "Peytona/Waddy" rather than giving Waddy the top billing it has had since the exit opened in the late 1950s.

This trade card was for Hawks and Reed, a clothing store in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Albert Hawks came to Greenfield when he was twenty-one and in 1877 founded a clothing store with his brother-in-law, Frank Reed. They operated the store together until Hawks' death in 1908. Reed then operated it alone until he sold out in 1917. The trade card format was the most common type of advertisement used by local businesses in the 19th century. Trade cards began in England in the 17th century and were used by businesses catering to the wealthy both there and in the American colonies throughout the 18th century. The drop of the cost of printing beginning in the 1820s led to an explosion of trade cards. They were increasingly decorative. When lithography became inexpensive, images like the one shown here became widespread. This was one of a series of images published by the Osborn Company, which would sell cards like this to businesses. The businesses would then have a local printer emboss the card with their name.

One of my ex-bosses loved this Chinese dessert very much she often "sponsored" the ingredients and asked office boy to cook it in the office with a big rice cooker for around twenty staff. At home, I have not cooked this for a really long time as I am the only person who love it. J loves barley soup very much but not when all other ingredients put together.
腐竹白果薏米糖水 is one of the popular Traditional Chinese desserts, it contains dried bean-curd sheet (腐竹), ginkgo nut (白果), barley (薏米) and egg. Some people like it with boiled quail eggs but I prefer egg-drops, to reduce cholesterol input I sometimes cooked without egg. This time, I added some snow fungus which is also a common ingredient for Chinese sweet dessert soup.
- 1.5 litre water
- 20 ginkgo nuts (I used boiled type)
- 40-50 g Pearl Barley
- 2 sheet dried bean-curds
- White/Snow fungus
- 1 no. large egg
- Rock sugar to taste
- Combine water and barley in a pot, bring to a boil then simmer until barley is softened.
- Meanwhile, soak white fungus then break into small pieces. Drain well, add into pot.
- Wipe bean-curd sheet with damp towel then break into small pieces. Set aside.
- When white fungus is ready, add in ginkgo nuts, bean-curd and rock sugar to taste. Cook with low heat until bean-curd is softened.
- Break egg into a bowl, beat well with a fork then add into the pork in a stream. Make a few swirl motion with a ladle gently. Turn the heat off and it is ready to serve.

With the holiday season not even in the rearview mirror any longer, the game industry enters a period where triple-A games are doled out with less frequency. Only one or two major releases often dominate a month -- and that would be considered a good month, too. February's headliner is undoubtedly Capcom's Street Fighter IV. But that's still on the horizon. What about the games coming out this week?
We asked which of this week's game releases you were looking forward to most. Just shy of 30,000 readers cast ballots. Here's the breakdown:
- Afro Samurai (Multi): 14%
- MLB Front Office Manager (Multi): 3%
- DJ Max Fever (PSP): 2%
- Nobunaga's Ambition: Iron Triangle (PS2): 1%
- Coraline (Multi): 1%
And then...
- I don't want any of them: 80%
It's a tough week for gamers, apparently. The vast majority of you cast votes of indifference toward this week's release slate. Granted, this is not a week of triple-A games, although Namco Bandai-developed Afro Samurai is not necessarily small potatoes. It features top notch voice talent from Samuel L. Jackson and art direction that mirrors the stylish animated series it's based upon. But only 14-percent of you placed it as your top "get."
The race for the bottom was won out by Coraline, despite the movie getting tremendous buzz for its pedigree (Neil Gaiman wrote the book and "Nightmare Before Christmas" director Henry Selick directed the movie adaptation). Perhaps it's the family focus of the game that turned so many of you off?
So, are the games themselves keeping you at arm's length? Or are you tightening your budget and being less willing to buy games you are less sure you'll enjoy 100-percent? Hit the comments section and let us know.
