Ride Home 12/15
The second woman I encountered was on the sidewalk on Massachusetts, near the British Embassy. After idling behind an idling bus, winning the Pyrrhic victory of taking the lane when the traffic wasn't moving a all, I decided to abandon the road for the sidewalk. This woman was on a lightless hybrid, with some sort of canvas tote bag dangling over the left handlebar. She seemed quite comfortable on the bike, much more than Dama Bianchi. She took the sidewalk along Mass until Florida and cut across at the light and was off to, I don't know, Columbia Heights, maybe?
The third woman was the fashionista of the bunch. A powder blue "city" bike with a detachable yellow rear basket. She was wearing what appeared to be a vintagey house dress under a grey wool coat that was too long and blocked for the most part her rear blinky. Occasionally, flashes of red shone through, sort of like the way ET's glowed. She also had on a beret, maybe, and hipstery glases. I can't remember where she went. Maybe up New Hampshire somewhere.
There's no real point to this story, other than to say that maybe the statistics about women and bikes in DC aren't right, but perhaps my observations aren't reflective of reality. I don't think there's any one particular "path" or strategy that's especially useful to get more women biking, or at least not a path or strategy to get exclusively more women biking. The way I see it, a rising tide lifts all boats, which is great for boats, but might rust your bike.
I wish Q Street were named Avenue Q and that there were obscene puppets instead of blocked bike lanes.
Maybe I was honked at when I rode (in the bike lane) between the stopped bus and the stopped cars, but I don't know why that would have happened. Maybe it was some other reason, but I normally assume these things are because of me, which might make me a narcissist or a paranoid or a paranoicissist, which is the worst/greatest affliction/attribute of all.
Love, love, love getting passed way to closely by someone driving a big expensive Jeep. Just love it. Did you know what I love? That thing I just described. Because of love and such. I luv it. Me + that = 4ever. I have notebooks full of whimsical doodles of hearts surrounding my name and poorly drawn pictures of Jeeps within inches.
Oh yeah, the morons who ride without lights are back. Out in the warm weather, I suppose. I had to special order this, but I made sure that my buttons (available at manfredmacx.com) don't work if you're riding a bike without lights. They develop button leprosy and fall right off. Button leprosy.
I saw a woman riding by the Capitol with a trailer, that seemed full. It might have been full of kid. I don't know. Good for her. Or maybe she was just bringing home work and she had a lot of it and needed the trailer. Hopefully she doesn't work at a smeltery. (S'meltery is the name of fast casual s'mores concept. Choose your graham, choose your mallow (I go with marsh every time), choose your chocolate and our team of progressional "s'melters" put that in the microwave and we charge you like 8 dollars)
East Capitol isn't boring, but there's not much doing either. It's a nice way to end. I ride on another street around there, as well, and that was mildly more exciting thanks to the speeding West Virginian and the two kids riding bikes and smoking pot. Ill-advised.

In town, I think the male-female ratio seems close to equal...further afield though, it's very heavy on the dudes. I'd say like 4 of 5 riders I pass on the CCT are men. Also, with the exception of a female friend of mine, all the bike commuters I've seen at work out in VA are men. I generally don't see any women until the WH and then on Penn and East Capitol there are a lot. Seems to, anecdotally at least, support the theory that bike lanes increase female ridership...but my observations are extremely limited.ReplyDelete
I ordered my buttons and I am so excited for them to arrive. So. Excited.ReplyDelete
And on the point of women biking...there was some article somewhere (wish I could remember where) that discussed how women are far less likely to bike commute because they are expected to look nicer in the workplace and also something about taking care of kids. Honestly, it kind of offended me, but give the proportion of female cyclists that I've seen, there's probably something to it. I agree with MM--I often see more in town, but they stick out on CC and MV trails because they are much less numerous than the menfolk.

An anonymous case manufacturer has been showing off a physical mockup of the iPhone 5 at Europe's IFA consumer electronics fair this weekend. While it doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, this video from the Verge does a good job of highlighting the differences we're expecting to show up between the old and new device.
Of course, there's no telling whether the design we're expecting to see next week is entirely genuine, and at any rate this is only a dummy shell which shows off the possible aesthetic features of the new device. But apparently the case manufacturer is confident enough in the rumors that it's already got its products for the new device in production so they're ready to ship as soon as possible. One thing's certain: we don't have too long to wait now before we find out for certain what the next iPhone will be like. [Verge]

Alex Rodriguez suspended for 2014 season
- Alex Rodriguez will be suspended the entire 2014 season
- An arbitrator upheld most of a 162-game suspension handed down by MLB
- A-Rod indicated he will fight the ruling in court%2C a rarity for collectively-bargained arbitration
New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez will be suspended for the entire 2014 season, as an independent arbitrator upheld the majority of a 211-game suspension Major League Baseball assessed him in August and dealt A-Rod the largest penalty for performance-enhancing drug use in baseball history.
Saturday's ruling by Fredric Horowitz will cost Rodriguez $25 million in salary and casts considerable doubt over the All-Star's career. Rodriguez will turn 40 during the 2015 season.
Rodriguez, who struck a defiant tone during the yearlong Biogenesis scandal, and denied any relationship with clinic founder Anthony Bosch, said in a statement released Saturday morning that he will pursue appealing the ruling in federal court:
"The number of games sadly comes as no surprise, as the deck has been stacked against me from day one," he said. "This is one man's decision, that was not put before a fair and impartial jury, does not involve me having failed a single drug test, is at odds with the facts and is inconsistent with the terms of the Joint Drug Agreement and the Basic Agreement, and relies on testimony and documents that would never have been allowed in any court in the United States because they are false and wholly unreliable. This injustice is MLB's first step toward abolishing guaranteed contracts in the 2016 bargaining round, instituting lifetime bans for single violations of drug policy, and further insulating its corrupt investigative program from any variety defense by accused players, or any variety of objective review.
"I have been clear that I did not use performance enhancing substances as alleged in the notice of discipline, or violate the Basic Agreement or the Joint Drug Agreement in any manner, and in order to prove it I will take this fight to federal court. I am confident that when a Federal Judge reviews the entirety of the record, the hearsay testimony of a criminal whose own records demonstrate that he dealt drugs to minors, and the lack of credible evidence put forth by MLB, that the judge will find that the panel blatantly disregarded the law and facts, and will overturn the suspension. No player should have to go through what I have been dealing with, and I am exhausting all options to ensure not only that I get justice, but that players' contracts and rights are protected through the next round of bargaining, and that the MLB investigation and arbitration process cannot be used against others in the future the way it is currently being used to unjustly punish me.
"I will continue to work hard to get back on the field and help the Yankees achieve the ultimate goal of winning another championship. I want to sincerely thank my family, all of my friends, and of course the fans and many of my fellow MLB players for the incredible support I received throughout this entire ordeal."
NIGHTENGALE:Big win for MLB, great day for the game
YANKEES:Suspension gives team options
Horowitz's ruling came after he presided over a dozen sessions involving MLB, Rodriguez and the slugger's legal team. The ruling concludes a saga that began in January 2013 when Rodriguez's name emerged with a dozen others in a Miami New Times report on Biogenesis, at that point an obscure wellness clinic in a Coral Gables, Fla. strip mall.
In all, the Biogenesis scandal netted 13 suspensions, the most notable being Rodriguez's yearlong ban and the 65-game, season-ending suspension accepted by Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun, like Rodriguez a former MVP.
A dozen players accepted 50-game suspensions on Aug. 5, the same day baseball handed down its 211-game suspension of Rodriguez. But A-Rod was the lone player to appeal. He had offseason hip surgery and made his season debut the same day his suspension was assessed, batting .244 with seven home runs and a .771 OPS the remainder of the season.
He finished the year with 654 career home runs, leaving him six shy of tying WIllie Mays for fourth on the all-time list; that milestone will trigger a $6 million bonus.
From the outset, it was clear Rodriguez had the will - and the financial might - to fight the suspension.
Rodriguez's first statement on the matter - released shortly after the story broke - insisted that "Rodriguez was not Mr. Bosch's patient, he was never treated by him and he was never advised by him. The purported documents referenced in the story — at least as they relate to Alex Rodriguez — are not legitimate."
Saturday, Bosch released a statement of his own, saying that he "doesn't take joy in seeing Alex Rodriguez suspended from baseball, but he believes the arbitrator's decision was appropriate. He is glad to have the arbitration behind him and believes he can play a valuable role in the future by educating athletes about the dangers of performance enhancing drugs."
But as documents connected to the clinic continued to surface in news media - one tying 2011 National League MVP Ryan Braun to Bosch - Major League Baseball made it increasingly clear that its investigation of implicated players would be thorough.
So began a saga in which MLB's investigative team and Rodriguez - with the financial might of a $275 million contract - engaged in cloak-and-dagger tactics to glean information on the other and, perhaps most important, obtain potentially incriminating documents.
In October, Rodriguez and his legal team filed suit against Selig and baseball, alleging "tortious interference" and claiming that its lead investigator, Dan Mullin, paid witnesses $150,000 for documents and "engaged in an inappropriate sexual relationship with a witness whom he himself interviewed about the Biogenesis matter."
By then, Rodriguez's 2013 season was over; that he played at all was testament to his willingness to fight, wielding the legal might that a player of his stature has at his disposal.
Hip surgery in January - two weeks before the first Miami New Times Biogenesis report - sidelined Rodriguez through the All-Star break. A quadriceps injury he suffered during a late July rehab assignment ensured that his game readiness would coincide just as MLB was ready to levy penalties against the 13 players who remained in the Biogenesis crosshairs.
In July, Braun accepted a 65-game, season-ending suspension, an act that seemed to lend credibility to Bosch and the documents MLB obtained. Finally, on Aug. 5, baseball suspended 13 more players - 12 for 50 games, and Rodriguez for 211 games.
In imposing an unprecedented penalty on A-Rod, MLB cited his alleged "use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including Testosterone and human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years ... for attempting to cover-up his violations of the Program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation."
As anticipated, Rodriguez appealed the suspension and began his 2013 season. It was an unremarkable campaign - that was more notable for Rodriguez's camp sniping at the Yankees and Major League Baseball for their apparent zeal in ensuring he go down.
Eventually, the rancor subsided, and Rodriguez's arbitration hearing was little more than background noise while baseball's October playoff drama unfolded without the Yankees.
Testimony before Horowitz finally concluded Nov. 22, one day after Rodriguez stormed out when the arbitrator ruled Selig did not have to testify.
Rodriguez later called the process "a farce." In its statement Saturday, Major League Baseball termed it due process at work.
"For more than five decades, the arbitration process under the Basic Agreement has been a fair and effective mechanism for resolving disputes and protecting player rights," MLB said in its statement.
"While we believe the original 211-game suspension was appropriate, we respect the decision rendered by the Panel and will focus on our continuing efforts on eliminating performance-enhancing substances from our game."

6. Common in gross, or at large, is such as is neither appendant nor appurtenant to land, but is annexed to a man's person. All these species of pasturable common, may be and usually are limited to number and time; but there are also commons without stint, which last all the year. 2 Bl. Com. 34.

COMMON, TENANTS IN. Tenants in common are such as hold an estate, real or personal, by several distinct titles, but by a unity of possession. Vide Tenant in common; Estate in common.
LAW, COMMON. The common law is that which derives its force and authority
from the universal consent and immemorial practice of the people. It has
never received the sanction of the legislature, by an express act, which is
the criterion by which it is distinguished from the statute law. It has
never been reduced to writing; by this expression, however, it is not meant
that all those laws are at present merely oral, or communicated from former
ages to the present solely by word of mouth, but that the evidence of our
common law is contained in our books of Reports, and depends on the general
practice and judicial adjudications of our courts.
2. The common law is derived from two sources, the common law of England, and the practice and decision of our own courts. In some states the English common law has been adopted by statute. There is no general rule to ascertain what part of the English common law is valid and binding. To run the line of distinction, is a subject of embarrassment to courts, and the want of it a great perplexity to the student. Kirb. Rep. Pref. It may, however, be observed generally, that it is binding where it has not been superseded by the constitution of the United States, or of the several states, or by their legislative enactments, or varied by custom, and where it is founded in reason and consonant to the genius and manners of the people.
3. The phrase "common law" occurs in the seventh article of the amendments of the constitution of the United States. "In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall not exceed twenty dollar says that article, "the right of trial by jury shall be preserved. The "common law" here mentioned is the common law of England, and not of any particular state. 1 Gall. 20; 1 Bald. 558; 3 Wheat. 223; 3 Pet. R. 446; 1 Bald. R. 554. The term is used in contradistinction to equity, admiralty, and maritime law. 3 Pet. 446; 1 Bald. 554.
4. The common law of England is not in all respects to be taken as that of the United States, or of the several states; its general principles are adopted only so far as they are applicable to our situation. 2 Pet, 144; 8 Pet. 659; 9 Cranch, 333; 9 S. & R. 330; 1 Blackf 66, 82, 206; Kirby, 117; 5 Har. & John. 356; 2 Aik. 187; Charlt. 172; 1 Ham. 243.

Hurricane Irene was the single costliest natural disaster in the U.S. in 2011. Much of the damage was to infrastructure like this road in in Killington, Vt.
This year will go down as the second costliest in the U.S. in terms of insured losses from natural disasters, the Insurance Information Institute said Friday. And it will set the record for number of federal major disaster declarations: 99 issued throughout 2011, up from the previous record of 81 in 2010.
"Catastrophes striking the United States in the first nine months of 2011 caused $32.6 billion in direct insured losses, nearly double the $18.6 billion in catastrophe-caused direct insured losses insurers generally incur over the first nine months of any given year," III President Robert Hartwig said in a statement.
"The $32.6 billion figure doesn't even include the significant insured losses which arose after the pre-Halloween snowstorm, which caused enormous damage to multiple states along the Atlantic seaboard," he added. "Coupled with other events in 2011's fourth quarter, direct insured losses could exceed $35 billion this year."
Total losses, including those not insured, are likely far in excess of $75 billion, the institute said.
Insurance Information Institute
The institute said that even with the huge payout by insurers the industry was still healthy, with its net worth of insurers falling by only 4 percent to $538.6 billion.
As for disaster declarations, the record 99 is "nearly triple the average of 34 per year dating back to 1953," the insurance group stated.
Federal officials earlier this month noted that 2011 saw a record number of billion-dollar disasters. The largest single disaster this year was Hurricane Irene's damage to the East Coast, estimated at $7.3 billion and claiming 45 lives.
The head of the National Weather Service on Friday issued a statement of "Goodbye and good riddance" to 2011.
The number of weather-related disasters, death and injuries this year "have served as a wakeup call, a jolting realization that our society is increasingly vulnerable to the weather as a result of a growing population and sophisticated infrastructure that continues to expand," NWS Director Jack Hayes said. "And while we witnessed an unmatched succession of extremes in nearly every weather category this year, climate scientists have pointed to the likelihood that such extremes are not an anomaly but may be the new normal."
So if 2011 is second, what's first? That title is still held by 2005, the year of Hurricane Katrina. Insured losses were $66 billion, with more than $40 billion from Katrina alone.

Every few months someone asks a question (especially during preparedness classes) about pets – usually dogs. Questions like:
– How can I incorporate my pet into my preparedness/disaster plan?
– What is a good breed of dog to take with me in a survival situation?
– What kinds of things would a dog be good at in a survival (wilderness and/or post-disaster) situation?
About a year ago, I was approached by a cable show that wanted to possibly do a show about survival with a dog. I had to think about the possibilities – the advantages and disadvantages of having a dog with me in a survival situation – more seriously than I had done up to that point, in order to make a demo tape for them. Nothing came of it (thankfully – not really my cup of tea to go anywhere near that world of entertainment anyway), but the main reason I did a short demo tape of myself and a couple of my dogs was to force myself to take the subject a lot more seriously.
with back and hind-leg nerve damage from distemper
This is a really valid subject, because so many of us have pets that we love and feel responsible for as much as (or at least close to) any other member of our family. Speaking for myself, we have several rescue dogs. Additionally, we foster a dog now and then when we are able – sometimes to help it recover from injury, abuse or sickness. We generally work with the foster dog, help it socialize with the other dogs in our home, learn some basic obedience and then find a "forever" home for the foster. This has really worked out well and is very rewarding. I love dogs, and I love working with them. They are amazing animals and respond so well to human thoughts, emotions and needs. They thrive when they belong to a "human pack." I have found that the best way to become a competent trainer is to understand how to communicate with them at that "level of the pack." This means learning to communicate in their language as much as possible, or at least understand their own language and respond accordingly. This kind of approach is what makes experts like Ceasar Milan (The Dog Whisperer) so successful.
In regards to survival with a dog or dogs, let's consider the advantages and disadvantages.
Looking at some of the disadvantages first: Food and Water. This is an extra mouth or set of mouths to feed. Most dogs are not capable of hunting on their own. In fact, even a large pack of modern dogs that haven't had time to adjust to the wild are going to have a very hard time getting their own food. Larger dogs don't really have any chance whatsoever in chasing down smaller game by themselves. Perhaps a wolf hybrid could hunt for itself, but I would generally question the usefulness of a wolf hybrid as a defense animal (to be addressed below). Of course, at least one person reading this will probably think to themselves that one could eat one's dog(s), so it's like walking food. This is true, and there are cultures that rely on dogs, such as eskimos, that (rarely) have to resort to this terrible reality. Similarly, in our own culture (especially agricultural) there have been times in our past (my father experienced this, for instance) when people had to resort to eating their own work horses in times of severe famine like the Great Depression. Let's assume for the sake of this blog entry, however, that eating our own, much-loved pet is not going to be any kind of option anytime soon. Instead, how can we create a team or pack with our dog(s) that is mutually beneficial for both species in a time of survival or social unrest?
Another disadvantage may be mobility and noise discipline. Climbing very steep terrain may not be possible with a dog in tow, although I have personally seen one of my own dogs (Shep in the photo above, in fact) climb up slopes I never would have believed possible for him – near vertical slopes that were difficult for me to climb. Water travel may also be difficult. Additionally, unless well-trained, a dog can cause problems while hunting or needing to remain quiet. These disadvantages are perhaps relatively minor – in that the terrain issue might not really be that common, and the noise problem is more of an issue of training which can be overcome.
Now on to some of the advantages: I would say that outside of "warmth" (as in body heat) the easiest and most natural role for a dog, in a dog/human team (whether it's one human or one or more dogs with one or more humans) is the role of defense.
Defense is one of the core necessities of survival that is usually overlooked. Everyone wants to know about shelter, water, fire, food, but nobody thinks much about defense. However, lack of defense can be far more deadly than lack of any of the other 4 necessities, and for that reason is one of the core elements of any of the survival classes I teach. Generally, because of our global human overpopulation (too many people and not enough resources or enough intelligent understanding of resources), "defense" means defense against other humans more often than defense against apex predators in the wild. However, regardless of which type of animal (human or other) we are defending ourselves against, a dog is an incredibly useful ally and friend.
However, different breeds of dogs have different natural instincts in regards to defense, without special training. One of my favorite breeds because of their natural affinity toward defense, is the Belgian Malinois. The Malinois is one of several breeds in the Belgian Sheepdog family which includes similar-behaving breeds of Tervuren and Sheepdog. This is the Belgian Sheepdog I'm speaking of, not the standard sheepdog one normally thinks of (i.e. not like "Sandy" the dog from Li'l Orphan Annie). The Belgian sheepdog is usually jet black and looks almost like a wolf. The Malinois is much like the German Shepherd both in appearance (somewhat- there can be variations in the look between both breeds) and behavior. However, the Malinois is a little bit smaller, usually more in the 50-60 pound range. Because of this, they are a more ideal "survival dog" than the Shepherd. They are faster, more agile, need less food/water, and are, in my opinion, more intense and quiet. They are an incredibly intelligent breed that learns very quickly. While they might not be able to hunt any more effectively than any other domestic canine of their size and speed, they are still closer to being good hunters with their great speed and trainability. They could be trained to flush out game, for instance, from an area.
However most importantly, the Belgian Malinois is a dog that is not afraid to bite as well as bark. We've learned that as a family with our Malinois mix dogs over the years. They are very serious about protecting from threats, and they pick up on the concept of threat from their human pack. In other words, if you are being attacked or robbed and display or feel the adrenaline, fear, anger that goes along with a situation like that, they will pick up on your response and will not hesitate to protect you, whether you've trained them to do that or not, in my experience. They're not the only breed that will do that, but the list of other breeds that naturally will do that is not very long. Also, they are ideal in so many other ways mentioned, all of which are icing on the cake above that instinct for defense, so that the Belgian Malinois truly represents what I consider to be one of the best breeds for a "survival-dog companion."

"27" tells a great American story, about Gertrude Stein, as well as American opera in the 21st century
If you want to understand where opera is going in America you have to travel right to its middle; to Missouri of all places, where Opera Theatre of St. Louis has premiered 24 works in its 39-year existence. No U.S. company has shown more leadership in the development of the art form.
This year's fresh face in the repertoire is called "27" and like its title, the work is short; just 91 minutes first note to last. Other defining details: Five singers only, no chorus, in English, and entirely pleasurable.
You might not call it the all-American opera because it takes place in Paris, but then again you might, because it is an efficient and highly productive work written by a composer whose melodies could just as easily work on Broadway. In that way Americans like their culture, it is sexed up with celebrity. Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald sing in it, so do Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
More centrally, so do Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas who were shacked up, literarily and otherwise, in an apartment at #27 rue de Fleurus where all of the action in this opera takes place, from about World War I through about World War II.
Composer Ricky Ian Gordon and librettist Royce Vavrek pack a lot of questions into their piece, which is as terse as a made-for-TV movie, notable in a genre where a nice bit of Handel can tough it out for four hours.
What is genius and who gets to judge? Who gets to be famous and who doesn't? Who controls history?
They answer the first two questions the same: Gertrude Stein. She is willful and stuck on herself, and yet powerfully charming as voiced by mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe, for whom the part was written specifically. Her role as both tastemaker and kingmaker for a generation, even as an expatriate, was so strong that all of the artists of her day wanted her blessing. Picasso gets it in "27" when he paints her portrait. The avant grade photographer Man Ray isn't so lucky when he unveils his own painting of Stein.
"I've met many geniuses in my time," she sings to him. "You, my dear are photographer."

We were impressed when we looked at Phonak's Audeo PFE 122 headphones, saying we'd be happy to skip the filter switching option and just take the bassy option. Welcome to the PFE 022, which is exactly that.
Well not exactly, because they also add a mic and button into the mix, so are pitched at those with a mobile phone loaded with music, and looking to listen and take calls on the move. As such, they go up against an array of headphones from the likes of Sennheiser, Creative and Etymotics which offer similar features at similar prices.
The Audeo 022 are in-ear headphones, but offer over-the-ear cable routing as favoured by the likes of Shure. This helps to reduce the amount of cable swing you get when moving around (e.g. walking) which can transmit a great deal of noise through to your ears. There is also a cable slider in place so you can get a good secure fit, if that's your preference.
The design of the ear buds themselves sit comfortably in the ear. Although the bodies are rather large, the cable routing solution means they don't stick out, instead sitting neatly in the outer ear. A choice of three different sizes of silicone tip are supplied to get the perfect fit to help you get the best isolation of external noise so you can enjoy your music unfettered.
We found the Audeo 022 to be supremely comfortable when worn for long periods of time and the level of noise isolation we got was excellent. A good fit improves the delivery of the music, especially bass, which is where these headphones are aimed. Ideal as a replacement for your standard Apple headphones, you'll find the performance is far superior to the bundled headsets for your phone.
With boasts of bassy delivery on the packaging we weren't disappointed, finding the Audeo 022 to deliver that bass without obscuring the detail. Detail and clarity is good across the range, so whilst they'll appeal to pop and dance fans, we think you'll be pleased with the performance whatever your preferred genre.
The inclusion of a mic means that you get a little extra: taking calls from your phone. The single button allows playback/pause of your music, with the usual double press to skip tracks and a long press to activate voice control on Apple devices. Unfortunately there is no volume control.
We also tested the Audeo 022 with a number of other devices, where we found the mic performed well in calls. An edition of the headphones is available without the mic for those that only want to use it with an MP3 player, which will set you back £68, whereas as the version with the mic will cost you £85.
We were mightily impressed with the performance of the last set of Phonak Audeo headphones we reviewed, and the same performance is on display here. Great to wear for long periods of time and offering great performance, they are competitively priced too, so come highly recommended.

Wild Greeting Cards was born from an appreciation of nature by April Story decades ago in a small town near Rocky Mountain National Park. Wild flowers in this region are abundant for many months of the year which lent themselves beautiful bouquet and photograph arrangements. Flash forward to the present day, these flowers have now been translated into a unique greeting card business.
For wholesale and retail buyers, the company has the capacity to supply to numerous businesses sizes as both large and small purchases orders can be fulfilled. Whether your retail operation wants to add a section of greeting cards to the store or you're purchasing 10,000+ units for a large chain in your seasonal open-to-buy allotment; Wild Greeting Cards manufacturers here in the USA to your business and order requirements.
Kyle Cunningham—business owner and relative to April Story—channeled her passion for these flowers to give consumers the ability to enjoy the same experience. New arrangements on the cards are presented on a regular basis so buyers will always have a new assortment available for supply to their online or brick-and-mortar store.
Stay tuned for the next release of new cards in the coming weeks!

Have You Received Your Christmas Card From the White House Yet?
I haven't. Many people have received one, though, and many are not happy. This Washington Post column bemoans the fact that the word "Christmas" is not included in this year's message being sent to 1.4 million addresses.
This article from U.S. News and World Report shows an image of this year's card, and discusses the fact that it's a Hallmark. However, Hallmark has printed the cards for many years going back at least as far as the Eisenhower card from 1960.
Calvin Coolidge began the tradition of sending greetings from the White House in 1927. So many folks wanted the card President Coolidge finally had it printed in the newspaper.
By 1931, President Hoover was sending personal photos to family, friends, and staff.
The Roosevelt's continued this tradition throughout FDR's presidency.
By the 1950s the sending of Christmas greetings had greatly expanded to include American ambassadors, members of the Cabinet and Congress, foreign heads of state and government officials. It was during Eisenhower's term in office that the Presidential Holiday Greeting became the official White House Christmas card per the White House website.
If you get your hands on an official White House card you might just want to hang onto it whether you like the image or not and whether you agree with the verse. Some older cards are worth a bit of money. This website wants $995 for the 1960 Eisenhower card.
One of the prettiest cards, in my opinion, is the official White House card sent by President Johnson in 1967. Over 2,600 cards were sent that year.
In 1992, President and Mrs. Bush utilized the National Tree on their card decorated with red, white, and blue lights.
You can see more images of past White House cards here.

You might find eBay item 320204007055 worth a look - the Hoover's 1928 Xmas card, which is an interesting land/seascape. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

What is the EvoGrid?
The EvoGrid is a worldwide, cross-disciplinary effort to create an abstract, yet plausible simulation of the chemical origins of life on Earth. One could think of this as an artificial origin of life experiment. Our strategy is to employ a large number of computers in a grid to simulate a digital primordial soup along with a distributed set of computers acting as observers looking into that grid. These observers, modeled after the very successful @Home scientific computation projects, will be looking for signs of emergent complexity and reporting back to the central grid.
The Near Future
|Developer Mailing List
|Code Commits
The Prototype 2009 is an attempt to get a working chemical simulator in place that can process a wide variety of variable initial conditions, as well as provide a useful testbed for distributed chemical simulation and analysis.The prototype will use a distributed processing method, by running simulations in parallel, providing different initial conditions to each parallel instance. Additionally, simulation analysis will be performed separately to simulation, allowing for load balancing between data generation and data analysis.
Prototype2009: Alpha 10-01 released. Images for VMWare available.
The Far Future
We hope that one day simulated exploration of environments and situations that cannot be easily reproduced in the laboratory will allow production of artificially evolved pseudo-life-forms.
Why simulate?
- Artificial evolution allows for development of systems that are capable across the range of possible conditions.
- Simulation would allow automated testing of both the expected conditions as well as variations that cannot be reproduced under laboratory circumstances.
- Simulation could be performed at speeds greater then real time, providing results faster.
How did we begin?

Feb 16, 2009: Bruce Damer's presentation (download 33MB MP3) for transfer to PhD candidacy.
Play Presentation:
Oct 2008: Divine Action and Natural Selection: Science, Faith and Evolution launched. Features Chapter "The God Detector" on EvoGrid concept by Bruce Damer with dialogue by Tom Barbalet.
In 1996 Bruce Damer founded an organization called Biota.org to serve as a catalyst bringing diverse communities together around the theme of the origin of life, software that simulates life-like properties, artificial-life platforms, synthetic biology, and artistic and science fiction visions. Four conferences were held, the first at the site of the Burgess Shale in 1997, and featured notable figures as Douglas Adams, Richard Dawkins, Karl Sims, Tom Ray, Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker and others. After a decade of work with NASA on building open source 3D simulations, Bruce and an international team are coming together to develop another endeavor for Biota.org, Project EvoGrid. "EvoGrid" is a short form of "Evolution Technology Grid" and will take a bottom-up approach to the challenge of merging biology with technology.

The View From My Seat: San Jose 2012 Nationals
I enjoyed capturing the magic of the US Nationals Long Programs and Free Dances from my 16th row seats. My Canon PowerShot SX 2010 IS, although not a professional SLR, gets me close to the action, with its 14X zoom.
There were so many unforgettable moments, more predictably including the tributes to Rudy and Michelle, and LPs/FDs by gold medalists Jeremy Abbott, Davis & White, and Denney & Coughlin. But, brilliance from dark horses Ashley Wagner and Adam Rippon, as well as up-and-comers Jason Brown, Jonathan Cassar and Doug Razzano, and a rallying comeback from Carolyn Zhang were equally thrilling. My top 20 photos reflect some of these moments, and more.
I hope you enjoy the view from my seat!

You're driving along, hands at 10 and 2, when a rock or pebble slams into your windshield. As you look for the chipped glass, you're already wondering how to get your windshield repaired and what it'll cost.
If you're an Esurance customer, filing a glass or windshield claim is easy.
Generally, comprehensive coverage can kick in to help repair glass damage. While it's an optional coverage from a legal perspective, some leasing and lending companies require that you add it to your policy if you're leasing or financing a car. Comprehensive coverage is generally quite affordable.
Some states have a specific glass coverage option that might allow you to skip the deductible altogether. These coverages vary by state, so check the specifics of your glass coverage to find out what you can expect to pay out of pocket (if anything) on a windshield claim.
Here's a quick guide to filing a glass-damage or windshield claim through Esurance.
First, you have options. In addition to the convenient online and phone (1-800-ESURANCE) claim-filing methods available 24/7, glass-damage claims can also be filed through the Esurance mobile site and through our app. However you want to file is ok with us.
Here's the info you should have handy when you file your glass or windshield claim:
After you file your claim, a dedicated claims representative will contact you to walk you through the rest of the process. Depending on the damage, one choice a representative can help you make is whether you want to replace your windshield or simply repair it. Your rep will also set up a good time for the repairs to be made.
In some cases, a technician can do the job right in your driveway and discard any removed or replaced glass. A windshield replacement takes roughly an hour from start to finish, and you can drive your car as soon as the technician's finished.
One of the most common areas of confusion regarding windshield damage is repair vs. replacement. Most windshields with minor cracks or chips can be repaired to the point of showing no sign of the original damage. Plus, repaired windshields benefit the environment by keeping millions of pounds of glass from landfills. A glass professional will help you determine the better option.
Regardless of whether you choose repair or replacement, the wait time is generally short on glass claims.
If your window or windshield has been chipped, you can file your claim online, over the phone, or through our mobile platforms to start the repair or replacement process before the damage gets worse. As always, we're here to help.

We make it quick and easy for you to file your claim online or over the phone.

Web Analytics FAQ.
How are web analytics and marketing analytics different?
Web analytics measures technical dimensions of your web and mobile properties. Marketing analytics goes beyond those metrics to measure and reveal the customer journey.
Can I manage web analytics for multiple sites through a single interface?
Yes, in some cases. Adobe Analytics, for example, allows you to manage data from sites, mobile apps, video, and more.
Can I see the path customers take while on our site?
Yes. Adobe Analytics provides activity maps and pathing analysis capabilities such as fallout and flow analysis that measure activity touchpoint to touchpoint, helping you surface what is working or not working along the way.
Can I manage marketing tags using web analytics?
Tag management is not offered widely among analytics solutions. However, we include dynamic tag management, which runs much leaner than traditional tag managers, as part of Adobe Analytics.
Can I create custom reports and dashboards to see the dimensions we are interested in?
Yes. AA allows you to create ad hoc reports that run in real time. And you can build unique dashboards with drag-and-drop ease.
Why is Adobe Analytics better than a free web analytics program?
The capabilities of Adobe Aanlytics go beyond basic site metrics like bounce rate and time on site provided by free solutions. For example, we provide fallout, flow, and pathing analysis, plus audience discovery and segmentation capabilities. The flexibility to create a variety of reports helps support your unique business needs.

System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) support for Windows Server 2003
I use a maximum of one Google Ad per post to help offset some of my blog hosting costs.
As we all know, as of July 14 2015, Windows Server 2003 will no longer be a supported operating system. This means that customers using Windows Server 2003 will no longer receive new security updates, non-security updates, free or paid assisted support options or online technical content updates from Microsoft.
However, it isn't that well publicised that on this same date, customers using System Center Endpoint Protection on Windows Server 2003 will stop receiving updates to antimalware definitions and the engine for Windows Server 2003.
As a result, the SCEP agent will stop functioning. Starting on July 14 2015, systems running Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 that have the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection client installed will receive the following system tray notification:
Time to get off Windows 2003!

Supporting the Plant Needs of Longwood Gardens
It's a little known fact that 75 percent of the plants used in our displays are raised on site. This means that each year we produce upward of 110,000 plants that represent more than 1,000 different varieties.
The production process at Longwood is driven largely by our Display team, which decides what plants will be used, where they will be located, what size and color they should be, and when they will be needed. This "vision" dictates our crop schedule and helps us determine our ability to fulfill the request. Due to space limitations, we rely upon reputable outside growers to supply 25 percent of our needs. All of our growers adhere to strict specifications and timelines.
We also use a number of different techniques for propagation of plants, which includes germinating seeds, rooting cuttings, grafting and micro-propagation or tissue culture.
In addition to conducting research and plant trials, we also provide diagnostic services to the entire gardens for soil analysis and plant virus testing. Research staff share plants and research information nationally and internationally through distributions, publications, presentations, and workshops.
We welcome you to browse the research section of our website to familiarize yourself with past and present research projects.
As one might imagine, there are a number of challenges that come with growing plants for a world-renowned display garden. At Longwood, these obstacles go beyond pestilence and drought, however.
One of our main challenges is providing more than 1,000 different plant species with the ideal growing environment. Due to our limited production space, we must blend and rotate plants in a way that works best for all of them. The result is a rigorous schedule with little down time and zero margin for error.
Another fact to be taken into consideration is the time of year at which many of our plants are grown. At Longwood, we like to provide guests with an exciting and unique experience. Sometimes this means that we display plants such as poppies or columbine in the fall instead of spring or summer. This can make it difficult to contract with outside growers and necessitates that we plan well in advance to meet display deadlines.

Bobbi Kristina Cast in Tyler Perry 'For Better or Worse' Sitcom
Bobbi Kristina Brown snagged an acting gig! We're happy to share some good news about the 19-year-old instead of more tragic tales about the passing of her mother, Whitney Houston.
Bobbi Kristina has been cast in Tyler Perry's new sitcom, 'For Better or Worse,' the first in what she hopes will be a series of acting gigs.
The New York Daily News reports that Brown's role will be a recurring one on the TBS series, but no other details have been revealed yet. Hollywood Life is reporting that Bobbi Kristina isn't just taking the role to pursue her passion, but also to make rent. "Whitney didn't own her town home in Atlanta," a source told the site. "She rented it and now Bobbi is having to pay rent."
The news comes shortly after reports that Bobbi Kristina's father, Bobby Brown, wants her to star in his biopic. Though Bobbi Kristina revealed to Oprah that she has aspirations to sing, dance and act, sources say it's unlikely she'll appear in her father's film, as she wants to cut off all ties with her dad, including her name. Congrats on the good news, Bobbi Kris!

Watch: There's something about Mark Duplass
[media-credit id=6 align="alignright" width="191″][/media-credit]
It's Friday and Mad Moviegoer's out and about. Planning to see "Mirror, Mirror." Meanwhile, as I ponder the next blog post, tentatively called "What Does it Mean When Critic Hates a Movie?" I thought something lighter was in order.
To wit: the blossoming career of understated funnyman Mark Duplass, who is also one of the mavericks of that moment in indie film culture that was known by the clever moniker "Mumblecore."
Mark Duplass and brother Jay's comedy "Jeff Who Lives at Home" is playing at the Mayan. But the guy's going to be everywhere–and should be. He's relaxed, smart, an unexpected star in the indie firmament.
Click below for a trailer gallery, for your viewing pleasure.
"Jeff Who Lives at Home" (at the Mayan in Denver)
"Safety Not Guaranteed" (Sundance 2012 premiere, opening in June).
"Darling Companion" Coming Soon. Don't blink during this preview of Lawrence Kasdan's comedy (which opened February's Boulder International Film Festival) or you'll miss him. But Duplass more than hold his own in an ensemble of scene-felonious veterans.
One of MM's favorite Sundance offerings — Lynn Shelton's "Your Sister's Sister" — doesn't have an official trailer yet. The comedy stars Duplass, Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt and is slated for a late June release.

Schmidt Retires
While the focus today is on the rubber game at Yankee Stadium and the end of a Phillies' 11-game road trip, the focus here is on the past, specifically 20 years ago tomorrow, Memorial Day.
Not on the three-city California trip, I was spending the holiday at home when Vince Nauss, my assistant called: "You'll never guess what is happening. Mike Schmidt is retiring." Shocked, to say the least.
Schmidt had decided after the previous game in San Francisco that he would retire before the next day, Memorial Day in San Diego.
Vince brings you the inside story:
"I'm not sure how many people Mike told before I got to the clubhouse but I no sooner stepped in the door to the visitors clubhouse at Candlestick after the game ended and Mike called me over to his locker then basically backed me into the locker so his back would be turned to everyone else. He said, 'I need to tell you something because you're going to have to make some arrangements for a press conference. I just played my last game.'
"I don't know whether I was able to maintain a poker face or not, but the writers were watching and pounced on me right away wanting to know what was all that about.
"I suggested to Mike that he give this further consideration and not make his decision final until we got off the road trip. His mind was made up though. The next morning (Memorial Day) in San Diego, I went to Mike's room and went over his remarks for the news conference. I just helped word-smith it a little, but the content was all his, straight from the heart.
"The Padres PR department was a big help in setting up a press conference in a football lockerroom right next to the Phillies clubhouse. I was able to bring Mike in through a connecting door from the Phillies training room.
"One final note. I got raked over the coals by the SF media because I asked the scorer to reconsider changing his scoring of an error to a hit for Mike. A Giants writer claimed that I was pressuring the scorer so that Schmidt's last at bat would have been a hit instead of an error. I thought that he deserved a hit and had nothing to do with it being his last career at-bat," added Vince.
Schmidt flew to Philly from San Diego for another press conference the following day. Decided the best place to have it was on home plate at the Vet where Michael Jack had so many great at-bats. Over 100 media showed up. Knowing the emotion of the day, I put a box of tissue on the shelf of the podium. Michael needed it as he began by reading a statement.
The entire press conference ran something like 90 minutes, which is very long.
At age 39, 46 games into the 1989 season and an 18-year career with the Phillies, Mike Schmidt's career ended. Not a story-book ending but Mike felt it was time and to his credit, he decided no more. Number 20 would never be worn again.

Configure Microsoft Office 2007 to Save Files Using the Old Office 97-2003 Format
Share Printer Friendly
Text Size: A A A A
Having trouble opening an Office 2007 file in Office XP or Office 2003? Or maybe you have Office 2007, but always need to save files in an older to share them with others. There are two simple methods to solve this problem.
One way is to have everyone who has the older versions of Office install the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack. The second method is for the person with Office 2007 to save all the files in the older 2003/XP format.
We'll go through the steps on how to change Office 2007 so that all files are saved in the older format by default instead of the new XML format.
In Office 2007, all configuration menus can be accessed by clicking on the Office Button show in the screenshot below.
Word 2007
You have two options: you can save an individual document using the old Microsoft Word format ('.doc') or you can configure Word 2007 to save all documents by default using the old format.
To save only a document using the old format, click on the Office Button, go to Save As and choose Word 97-2003 Document.
In order to have all documents saved by default using the old format, click on the Office Button and then on Word Options.
In the Word Options window, go to the Save section. Here you have a 'Save files in this format' drop-down list. From the list of available formats, select 'Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)' and click on OK.
Excel 2007
The same goes for Excel: click on the Office Button, go to Save As and choose Excel 97-2003 Workbook. If you want to permanently use the old format, click on the Office Button and then on Excel Options.
In the Excel Options window, go to the Save section. From the 'Save files in this format' drop-down list, select 'Excel 97-2003 Workbook' and click on OK.
The same steps can be followed also for PowerPoint 2007 in order to save files using the older '.ppt' format. This all there is to it!

I work in Java so basically I use OOP paradigm during coding. I am about to start working in Perl and I was wondering what is the paradigm that Perl developers follow. In wiki it mentions that it supports many paradigms but I am not sure I understand this since it is a scripting language.
So my question is: Are the object oriented patterns I'm familiar with in Java idiomatic in Perl, or will I need significant change to my design style to write effective Perl?
Note: This is not a question to critique Perl. I actually have to work in Perl and would like to understand how the current way I program will change.
