A nice summer ride for a hundred miles then a day at the beach, an overnight romance and then a morning coffee and a slow ride home.
Going to a nice dinner and then slow dancing at a piano bar. Or maybe lunch and then going to the art museum. I also enjoy riding on a motorcycle.
Anywhere good enough for an open conversation and relaxing
Go for dinner and get know more about ourselves
Maybe a nice country ride for lunch or to a museum or an aquarium downtown. Somewhere not too loud where we can talk and laugh.
something and somewhere serene and where you can feel the great work of nature and old inventries
I will like to meet at the park and having fun and lot more
Meet at sports event, music event, dance, salad bar, tennis court.
Either riding out to lunch or catching a show
Let's meet up and ride to lunch somewhere. If we hit it off, we can return via different routes. If we don't, let's spend more time talking and walking together.
One of my favorite museums in Massachusetts is the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, MA. It's also a really nice ride out there. Meat me out there, and enjoy a scenic ride home if you're interested further.
My first date would be in a public place yet we would feel like we were some place isolated because we would be into each other!
Walking,talking maybe movies ,star glazing ,hiking and perhaps a good lunch
How about some dialogue over a drink and a snack and take it from there

An interesting Ozark village
I dawdled a little on my way home from Kansas, a few weeks ago. My ten-minute stop at a gas station along the highway turned into a two-hour visit to downtown Van Buren, Missouri.
Let me explain. I've been traveling through southern Missouri for 19 years now, on my way to and from family gatherings. Highway 60 was (and is) the most direct route from Cairo, Illinois, to Springfield, Missouri. When I started driving Highway 60, it had some very narrow, crooked passages through the ridges and valleys of the Ozarks.
Highway 60 to Van Buren
The very worst part of the road was the 25 miles just before Van Buren, Missouri, and the 25 miles just on the other side of Van Buren. Woe to the trucks that were forced to travel that twisting snake of a road. Woe to the cars that were trapped behind the trucks. Woe to the children trapped in the back seats -- especially those who suffered from car-sickness -- and woe to their parents.
Because I remember the old road vividly, I appreciate the new 4-lane road that leads into Van Buren from the east. The road through the most mountainous area west of Van Buren is now 3-lane, and it will soon be 4-lane, too. The taxpayers of Missouri (and I suppose, the entire nation, through Federal highway grants) should be proud of this highway. I'm sure it's been an engineering challenge to build it.
Until the roads were blacktopped and tourists began driving through the Ozarks, most people around Van Buren made a living, one way or another, from the Ozark hills and trees. Country folks grew and made most of what they needed. Van Buren's handful of stores supplied the rest of what people had to have. A trip to Poplar Bluff or Springfield would have been a rare adventure in a big city.
I saw, sensed, and imagined things like this, during my many trips on the treacherous old road to Van Buren. The big new road doesn't inspire nearly as many thoughts of this sort.
A river town
The Current River runs briskly along the west edge of Van Buren, and you can walk right up to the water on either shore. Small watercraft -- flatboats, canoes, and rafts --were once important modes of transportation through the area. The river crossing at Van Buren was valuable property during the Civil War. Several skirmishes occurred in this area between Union and Confederate/guerilla forces. Today, the river is popular again for rafting and canoeing.
Tree covered ridges dominate the skyline at Van Buren. If there are any grain elevators or smokestacks in the little town, I've never noticed them.
The historic marker on the courthouse lawn tells how Carter County's primeval forests were clear-cut around 1900, bringing two decades of boom to the area before the last trees were cut and the sawmills closed. I think that Van Buren is still struggling to overcome that setback. Tourism has helped.
The commercial buildings around the square are modest structures, and the houses along the highway are modest, too. It appears to me that Van Buren has never enjoyed much excess of wealth.
Visits to Van Buren
When I passed through Van Buren most recently, I stopped at the new station along the big new highway for gas and a brief stretch. I intended to get back in the driver's seat and hurry down the road, but nostalgia called me. I decided to drive down to the river and find an interesting rock to take home. It would only take a few minutes, I told myself.
Near the river, on the street that used to be the highway through town, I saw a little sign that said "Hidden Log House Museum". After I had found my rock at the riverside, I decided to see what the museum looked like from the outside. Then I got out of my car to take its picture, and while I was doing that, the lady who owns the museum came outside to talk to me.
I had to go inside. It would have been rude to drive away, and the admission was only $2. Besides, I was curious. It turned out that the little museum was well worth the visit. I've never been disappointed by a stop in Van Buren.

Lime Cheesecake with a Chocolate Crunch
With my son and Sophie, his girlfriend, over for the weekend I couldn't go without making something special. I would normally use my tried and trusted recipe for Lime and Chocolate Cheesecake from Nigella Bites, but this weekend I decided to try out an alternative from a new cookbook, Fay's Family Food, that I had not yet cooked or baked from (that's what happens when you own over 200 cookbooks and the collection keeps growing)! This is a great cookbook and I have quite a few recipes book-marked that I can't wait to try!
This cheesecake is creamy, light and refreshing with its chocolate crunch base that compliments the subtle tangy lime wonderfully. The cheesecake was a hit and I will definitely be making this easy, simple and lush dessert again!
Lime Cheesecake with a Chocolate Crunch
40g butter
20g dark chocolate
50g ground almonds
100 dark chocolate digestives biscuits or similar, crushed
800g light cream cheese
185g soured cream
175g caster sugar
4 large eggs and 2 large egg whites
Zest of 3 limes
1½ tbsp lime juice (I added 2½ tbsp)
Line the base of a loose-bottomed cake tin (24cm) with baking paper.
Melt together the butter and chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Leave to cool, then mix with the almonds and crushed biscuits. Press down into the tin to form a base and pop into the fridge for 15 minutes or so.
Pre-heat the oven to 150oC (fan), 170oC, gas mark 3. With your electric whisk, beat the cream cheese, soured cream and sugar till light and fluffy. Add 4 of the eggs, one at a time. When combined, add the lime zest and juice. Mix.
Separately whisk 2 eggs whites to soft peaks, then fold into the creamy mixture and combine. Pour over the base and bake for 1 hour, 20 minutes in the middle of the oven.
Leave to cool for 2-3 hours at room temperature, then pop into the fridge overnight.

Liberated Iraq calls on Arab states to use oil as 'weapon' against U.S.
Published November 16, 2012 FoxNews.com
FILE 2010: Workers adjust a valve at the Rumaila oil field in Basra Province. A top Iraqi diplomat urged others to 'use the weapon of oil' against the U.S. because of its alliance with Israel. (Reuters)
A top Iraqi diplomat urged Arab states to "use the weapon of oil" against the United States because of its alliance with Israel, raising more questions about the Middle Eastern nation's allegiance to the country that freed it from a ruthless dictatorship.
The shocking statement from a democratic government in power only after the U.S. and allies ousted murderous dictator Saddam Hussein in a costly and bloody war laid bare the Middle Eastern nation's true allegiance.
"Iraq will invite (Arab) ministers to use the weapon of oil, with the aim of asserting real pressure on the United States and whoever stands with Israel," Qais al-Azzawy told reporters in Cairo on Friday.
"Iraq will invite (Arab) ministers to use the weapon of oil, with the aim of asserting real pressure on the United States and whoever stands with Israel."
– Iraqi diplomat
"The economic weapon is the strongest one to be put into effect now, to assure of standing by the Palestinian people, in light of there being no military power that can stand in the face of Israel at the present time," he added.
The U.S. ousted Hussein, ending his bloody, 30-year reign in 2003 in the midst of a controversial and costly war. Nearly 4,500 American service members were killed and more than 32,000 wounded in a war that has cost U.S. taxpayers at least $750 billion. That figure could top $1 trillion given future health costs incurred by veterans injured in the fighting.
The oil-rich nation has by some measures the world's third-largest reserves and, along with Arab nations such as Saudi Arabia and Libya, provides the U.S. only about 13 percent of its oil, according to the Energy Information Administration. But Arab oil producers wield tremendous influence on world prices through OPEC.
Iraq is standing with Hamas and Palestinians in the ongoing strife between them and Israel. The fighting accelerated after Israel launched its operation "Pillar of Defense" last week, aimed at stopping frequent rocket attacks that rain down from Gaza. At least 422 rockets from Gaza have been fired at Israel, whose Iron Dome defense system has intercepted 130, according to the Israel Defense Forces said. The al-Qassam Brigade, Hamas' military arm, said on its Twitter feed that it had shot 527 projectiles at Israel in that time.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has at times been critical of the U.S., and has in recent years raised alarms over his increasingly close relationship with Iran.
The sharp words from the Iraqi diplomat came just as Iraq released a commander of the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, despite assurances to U.S. it would not do so.
Florida Rep. Gus Bilirakis, (R-Fla.), who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the statement shows the U.S. must stand by Israel while working toward energy independence.
"As sirens sound over Israel, we must not forget the millions of Israelis who live under the constant threat of rocket attacks from Gaza. Israel's right to defend itself is fundamental, and U.S. policy must continue to support this," Bilirakis said. "I have long advocated for energy independence in the United States, and I firmly believe this to be more true now than ever before."

Thread: IMA BATTERY AND THE FIX

Hi there - I am a 2005 HCH
Hi there - I am a 2005 HCH owner, in the state of CA. My car has 98K miles on it, and the IMA light came on the other day. I took it to our local dealer to get the diagonistic test. It came back with a failing IMA code, and was told my IMA battery would need to be replaced for about $3k.
Now I am in the state of CA, and my car is certified PZEV and SLUV (Tier II). Therefore, my IMA battery should be under warranty until 10/150,000. The dealer tried to convince me that I was wrong, my battery was NOT covered, and my car was ULUV only and did not meet the state requirements.
I had a pretty good feeling that they weren't being upfront with me, so I contacted Honda America. The customer service rep I talked to was very vague, but said there was absolutely nothing in her records (based on VIN) that would tell me whether my car was covered.
So since neither Honda entity was going to help me, I did some reseach on my own, and determined that my car was indeed covered.
I called Honda America back again, and my complaint was escalated to a "case manager". He immediately tried to convince me that, yes my car was PZEV, but based on my VIN it was not covered. He said that even though my car was certified PZEV in the state of CA, it really didn't matter. Some cars were covered, some were not, and it was all based on VIN and some info he had in his database. He then goes on to say, "your car is NOT covered, but Honda wants to keep you happy, so would you be satisfied with Honda covering half of the $3k?" Heck, no - they should cover it all. By law.
After talking to two California state departments (Bureau of Auto Repair, and CARB) they encouraged me to file a complaint, because what Honda America (and the dealership) was saying was not true, and they felt I was being duped.
I called back my case manager, and requested my denial of coverage in writing, along with any support he had based on my VIN and the Honda database. My husband followed up with a call, basically saying that we knew my car was covered, and we weren't going to go away.
Literally, an hour later, I got a call from the dealership saying my IMA battery would be replaced for free.
I wanted to share my experience ASAP, because I feel that this a shady tactic from the top of the company, down. If we hadn't been persistent, and had just TRUSTED Honda, we would be out $3k. I believe that Honda is most likely pulling this scam on a lot of people, and I wanted to tell people to talk to your state board, and stay on them. Don't believe everything they tell you. And if this has happened to you, please feel free to contact me. I think it's time to shine light on this bad business practice

Just had my IMA Battery
Just had my IMA Battery replaced on my 2004 Honda Civic. My new car warranty was for 80,000 miles or 8 years. I have driven it 47,000 miles to date. So the battery replacement that could have cost me well over $2000 was done under warranty. The scarey part is that the replacement battery only comes with a 12 month warranty. I told them my last engine battery came with a 48 month warranty and wanted to know why such an expensive replacement only came with a 12 month warranty.
The service technician at Northwest Honda in Maryland said 'why worry, you didn't pay for the replacement.' I said 'If 'I had paid for the replacement what would the warranty be? He didn't give me an answer. I asked him how I could sell my car if a buyer could be faced with a battery cost of over $2000 that came with a 12 month warranty. His answer was 'Well, they do last longer'. To all, good luck selling your electric hybrids!
Dear Richard, I have an 05
Dear Richard,
I have an 05 Honda Accord Hybrid. The hybrid battery needs to be replaced. The light went on so I took it to the dealership in West Covina, California on December 20. They are going to charge me $800 to replace the battery, which I am told is a deal because the true cost is $3,500. I have already waited 3 weeks for the battery and now they are saying it will be at least another week and even then there are no guarantees that the battery will come in. Honda does not offer loaner or courtesy cars. I will be without my car for at least one month. The battery is no longer under warranty because mileage is $150,000.
Do you have any recommendations or suggestions for me?
Kimberly, It sounds like
It sounds like you'll just have to wait although it might help to call them daily to get a status and ask what the delay is. I have an '04 Hybrid in SoCal and just found out today that my battery warranty is 10 years or 150k miles. What I don't understand is why it's costing you $800? If it's under warranty there should be no cost and if not I would expect them to have you pay $3000 or more.
Mine is in the shop now for transmission and I'm having them look into the IMA since I had the IMA light and Check Engine light awhile back.
How much would a brand new
How much would a brand new IMA battery cost to replace>? I know dealers would charge an outrageous amout of money. Let me know!
Hello, I bought my 2005
Hello, I bought my 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid brand new in California and now has 105k miles. It started showing the IMA problem a couple of weeks ago, sent it to the dealer and said that my regular battery is low and needs to be changed so that they can install new software, cost me Abour $250. They said that hopefully after they install the new software that indicator would go stop. after a week, it showed up again, so i went back to the dealership, they checked it and told me that it was the hybrid battery cell, and it would cost me $3000, but they would call american honda to maybe help me even though its out of warranty. First, they said that after his manager called american honda, they would be willing to cover 50% of the cost. I Immediately said cant afford it, so I would probably wait until I have the money, they then told me that maybe they can do it more if the other manager call, and of course after an hour they said that they can only do it for 75% off which still about $776 plus tax. Now I wonder if its really under warranty since they kind willing to negotiate with me on the price. It just doest usually happen if its not under warranty. Can anybody please help me on who to call so they can cover all the cost. thank you so much. God Bless...
I don't know where you got

You had an interesting
You had an interesting experience out there, I hope it won't be my case though. I also hope that my car insurance Ireland covers for the battery replacement, I am aware that I won't be able to avoid the dealers forever. I'm glad I found your story, I know now what to expect.
Do you replace Honda Accord
Do you replace Honda Accord Hybrid IMA batteries? My 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid IMA batteries are still working at 146,000, but definitely not efficiency any longer.
I reside in San Diego, CA.

Not bad, some of the sequences are quite fun, especially with the music. I'm mixed on stuff like this too. Sometimes it comes across as too 'cutesy'. Nausiatingly so. Like the Mickey and Minnie Mouse dolls and cartoons donning CFB gear.
I'll also out myself as a major geek and propose that your next video include scenes and dialogue from the 'Hulk vs. Wolverine' AMV. Surely not G-rated stuff but really awesome.

IMO, there's something about the 'Hulk vs. Wolverine' AMV that sets up nicely as a metaphor for Notre Dame and Michigan.

Here are 5 strategies to help you ace your job interview:
- Dress the part. Even if the job you're applying for involves
wearing a uniform or working behind the scenes, the way you dress for an interview
tells your potential employer that you take the job seriously. If you're a guy, wear
a nice pair of pants and a shirt. A tie usually isn't necessary for a summer
job, although it doesn't hurt to wear one! Sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, shorts,
t-shirts, sweatshirts, and jeans don't work. The same goes for girls: Wear something
simple and avoid short skirts or skimpy tops.
- Appear confident. Look your potential employer in the eye and
shake his or her hand. Good manners go a long way to helping you land a job. Be friendly
and don't make jokes.
- Be prepared. Appearing confident is easiest when you know what
you're talking about. Find out what you can about the position or company in advance
and show your knowledge during the interview. Researching the company shows the interviewer
that you're smart and eager to learn. Doing your research also lets you learn what
inspires you about the company so you can share your enthusiasm with the interviewer.
If you can, find out more about the position itself. Looking on the company's website or talking to someone who has worked there allows you to think in advance about which skills you have that fit well with the job.
- Answer (and ask!) questions. You'll no doubt be asked typical
interview questions, such as why you're interested in the position, what types of
skills you offer, and the hours you're available to work. Prepare your answers before
the interview.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Questions don't make you look stupid. Asking good questions shows the interviewer you're thoughtful and that you're not afraid to interact with other people — a particularly good interview strategy if the position involves dealing with people, such as sales. If you can, practice being interviewed by an adult in business. When the real time comes, you'll be more prepared and comfortable.
- Follow up. Send the interviewer a brief email or letter thanking him or her for spending time with you. Say how much you are interested in the position. You might be surprised at what a good strategy follow-up notes are, especially if you're interviewing for an internship or office position. Check all your spelling and grammar before you send your note.
Parents or older siblings can offer good advice about job hunting and interviewing. So don't hesitate to ask for help on everything from putting together your résumé to choosing an interview outfit. Chances are, you'll be interviewing with and working for people their age anyway so a little insight can't hurt.

I've noticed many articles use composite images to illustrate the "Appearances" section (here's an example). In particular, there is one editor (who I will not explicitly name out of respect) who is uploading and switching these out every few days, often using images that are unnecessarily fan edited (example). While images like that are obviously not acceptable for the mainspace, what of images like the one currently in Harry Potter above? I personally feel these images have no merit: if one wishes to see how the character (or the actor, rather) has changed over the years, one can merely look at the images already in the article's "Biography" section. Conversely, however, if it is decided these images do have merit, we should be consistent and use them for every character, or at least every Hogwarts-age character, that appears in a majority of the films.
Also, just to clarify, I have no problem with composite images being used for the sake of illustrating an infobox, such as on Horcrux or Deathly Hallows. That's completely different. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 18:12, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
- I think a case can be made for some composite images being used as long as the individual images have not been altered (beyond cropping or some brightening if they're too dark). If the colors have been edited or text has been added, then it's probably not appropriate for use on this wiki. - Nick O'Demus 05:15, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Growth Modeling of Longitudinal Data
posted on Monday, December 15, 2003 - 12:51 am
Dear Linda & Bengt,
I have analyzed children´s math skill development across a three year period (from preschool to primary school) six measurement point)using LGM. Because children´s skills develop rapidly during this particular period, I have not been able to use identical measurement during each measurement point, i.e., although the structure of the test was identical at all measurement points (5 subscales; progressively more difficult across the test), more difficult items were added to some of the subscales as the children became more skilled in mathematics. This was done in order to avoid a ceiling effect across measurement points.
I wonder if it is possible to use LGM in this case (the construct is assumed to be the same but there is more items in some subscales in subsequent measurement points than in earlier ones)? If I use only those items that were identical at each measurement point, there would be a ceiling effect. Would Item Response theory hepl here? Any suggestions how I should proceed?
posted on Monday, December 15, 2003 - 10:41 am
Yes, LGM can be used here. You can take several approaches. Here are 2 key ones. In either approach it doesn't matter that you have different number of items at the different time points. First, if you have a large number of items (large number refers to the total number of items if you believe in one factor for all 5 subscales, and refers to number of items per subscale if each subscale is a factor), you can use IRT in line with books like Hambleton-Swaminathan and use the common items across time to produce ability scores ("theta" estimates, or "factor scores") for each child that are in the same metric across time. Then do LGM with these scores as outcomes. Second, if you have a smaller number of items you may want to do multiple-indicator growth modeling with the items as outcomes, where you hold item parameters equal across time for common items.

Dear Linda,
I am new to IRT, I came across the idea of ceiling and floor effect as it seems important using this approach. I am following example 5.5 for my 10 binary variables. I have nearly one third of my sample of(1000 subjects) who responded with zero to all items. I have got estimates of the zscores for all the subjects. I am not very sure whether this is ok! & how these values were estimated using the MLH approach. Please advice on:
1- whether Mplus would have used certain approximation to obtain these estimates? &
2- suitable reference for details of these estimates, please! with thanks
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 - 2:00 am
I think you are equating IRT with categorical data modeling. If you have floor or ceiling effects, you should use categorical data modeling. This is done by putting the dependent variables on the CATEGORICAL list and using either weighted least squares or maximum likelihood estimation. IRT uses maximum likelihood.

Hi- I am trying to estimate a LGM with 4 time points but I'm not sure how best to treat my observed data. Each wave has an ordered categorical scale that has a bimodal distribution- more responses at both ends of the scale.
I'm planning several time variant and invariant covariates. So I am apprehensive about treating the data as categorical due to the increased computational intensity and difficulty interpreting effects of covariates. But given the distribution, I don't know that treating them as continuous is even possible to interpret.
What would you suggest?
Thanks very much!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - 4:25 pm
I would not treat an ordered categorical variable with floor and ceiling effects as continuous. I would treat it is categorical. I don't think this model should be that computationally demanding. As far as the covariates go, you can look at only sign and significance if you don't wish to take it any further.

Apple has filed a patent for a "Smart Dock" that essentially extends the range and expands the capabilities of its iOS Siri voice recognition, request, and command feature, giving the somewhat dim young thing a greater role in your home life.
The US Patent and Trademark Office application, entitled "Smart Dock for Activating a Voice Recognition Mode of a Portable Electronic Device", was filed on May 29, 2012 and published this Thursday. It describes a docking station for not only Apple iDevices but also "any electronic device that can operate in a voice recognition mode."
As is often the case in Apple's patent filings, the range of devices it envisions that could take advantage of the dock's capabilities is extensive – nay, infinite:
Such devices may include, for example, a laptop computer, a tablet device, a key fob, a car key, an access card, a multi-function device, a mobile phone, a portable gaming device, a portable multimedia player, a portable music player, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a household device, and/or any portable or non-portable electronic or electro-mechanical device and/or the like. For example, a portable electronic device can include an iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, or iMac device available from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.
Should you configure an Easy-Bake Oven with voice-recognition capabilities, Apple's Smart Dock will welcome you with open arms.
The dock can be configured in a number of ways – a touchscreen, microphone speakers, clock, control buttons, hard drive, GPS, a variety of sensors, and a IR or RF receiver for a handheld remote are all mentioned – but the device's main purpose in life is to interface with the aforementioned "portable or non-portable electronic or electro-mechanical device."
Apple's 'Smart Dock' (below) is ready to accept any iDevice, such as a smartphone (above)
The smart dock isn't really all that smart – it's more an interface with and an extension to the device that you attach to it. What it does is accept a variety of command sources, voice recognition being the most prominent, and conveys them to the device, which then does the heavy lifting.
You can, for example, ask the dock questions or give it commands that it would then transfer to the iOS device attached to it. As with the list of compatible devices, the patent's list of such Siri-like spoken commands is extensive, indeed:
The user request may be a request to utilize one or more services, applications, and/or functionalities of [the] portable electronic device such as placing a phone call, playing multimedia content (e.g., playing a song from the user's music library), sending a message (e.g., a voice message, e-mail message, SMS message, video message, instant message, meeting invite, etc.), creating a calendar entry (e.g., creating a meeting, task, reminder, etc.), retrieving driving and/or walking directions, retrieving public transportation information, setting an alarm, checking the weather forecast, locating attractions, creating restaurant reservations, accessing reviews, searching the Internet, and/or the like.
You might reasonably ask why a dock is needed to transmit such commands and requests, seeing as how you could simply speak them directly into your iPhone, iPad, or iWhatever. The filing's answer: "the utilization of such voice recognition capabilities in existing devices typically involves an initial activation step requiring the user to interact with the finger controls and/or GUI of their device before voice commands can be processed."
To save you from the inconvenience of actually having to walk a few steps and touch your iDevice, the smart dock will listen for you commands at all times, and will be able to do so from a distance far greater than your iDevice is accustomed to. It will also be user-programmable to recognize a trigger word, phrase, or sound – the filing mentions hand claps and finger snaps – to know that the next command is just that, a command, and not you yelling to your kid upstairs, listening to Li'l Wayne, "Turn it down!"
The dock's voice-recognition capability can also be tuned to listen for only specific voices, so that it won't be fooled by voices from, say, a television or radio, and can also be distance-limited, so that it won't pick up your commands should you be speaking in an adjoining room.
Finally, the dock can be configured so that it will only respond to incoming commands, and not responses spoken by the iDevice's Siri capability – useful, considering that in our experience at least, one never really knows what the wee lassie will respond to anything she's asked. ®

When I was six, I had what I thought was a very smart idea: a stop sign just for bad buys. That way everyone who was not a bad guy could ignore it, but while the bad guys are stopped it would be easier for the police to catch them.
My excuse for that idea is that I was six.
My father, having a PhD in psychology and therefore knowing nothing about how people think, got very annoyed with my idea for being so silly, and said that by drawing that stop sign on a sheet of paper I was wasting paper.
Eventually I grew up and realized why my idea would not work. The problem is, I am still waiting for progressives and conservatives to grow up and realize why my idea would not work.
Oh, they would never dream of putting up a stop sign for bad guys, true. But progressives do really believe in gun laws, and conservatives do really believe in morality laws.
It always amazes me, every time I read any online gun debate. The progressive point of view is that some guy will be pondering a crime, and as he is preparing will discover that his gun is forbidden. Then he will say "gee, I was going to rob a bank, but I cannot use my gun to do that. I guess I will stay home instead."
I am also amazed with the drug debate. The conservative point of view is that some guy will be pondering purchasing some drugs, will see an advertisement on television saying "just say no," and say "Gee, I didn't know that this stuff was bad. I guess I won't do this anymore."
They both believe that at some level that criminals obey the law. The law is sacred. People stop at a stop sign, not because it may be good for traffic control or because they don't want a ticket, but because it is a stop sign and that is what you are supposed to do at stop signs.
Perhaps they can be satisfied in their quest for ever more laws by passing a law that says it is illegal to break the law, an idea a six year old can really appreciate.

"It's Elementary" is a monthly column every first Wednesday that asks comedians to share funny memories from their elementary school years, or "periods" (get it?? Like moments in time, but also like in school!) from those formative years that have informed their personal and comedic identities. Or, they'll just submit some random anecdotes. Whatever they want, really.
by Dave Metter
I have long been fascinated by what has influenced and inspired other comedy writers, especially during their youths when their comedic senses were still so nascent and less judgmental. This month features stand-up comedian and writer Elise Thomson-Hohl, so nice they named her thrice. Elise is a rule-breakin', convention-shirkin' rebel and has opted to share a wonderful lil' anecdote instead of a few even lil'er ones.
"I can't find my lunch," I yelled back to Mrs. Pegler and the rest of my first grade class from the cubby as I continued to rummage through my Jansport backpack.
It was the spring of 1995 and I was in the first grade; by this time I was already aware that my classmates referred to me as weird, so I spent the majority of my time at school trying to go unnoticed.
I felt my brown paper bagged lunch smashed below my binder at the bottom of my bag.
I sorted through my packed lunch until I felt my sandwich, and began tearing off the aluminum foil.
I had calculated about three minutes of time before Mrs. Pegler would come look for me in the cubby, which left me about two minutes to eat my entire mustard and cheese sandwich in peace.
The concept that eating certain items of food at lunch made you cool or un-cool was alien to me, until I began noticing that I was eating at the last seat at the end of the table. From my observations, it was the COOLEST to buy lunch, the second COOLEST to bring Lunchables, and socially acceptable to eat peanut butter and jelly on white as long as you had name brand snacks to accompany the sandwich (Cheetos and CapriSun). I had started eating my lunch as privately as I could around Christmas; kids were teasing me for eating 'WEIRD' sandwiches, and the possibility of buying lunch or bringing 'cool' food wasn't ever going to be an option.
I stopped dead in my Jelly's, impregnated with dread. I turned to see Yi-Ming standing at the mouth of the cubby, pointing at my sandwich.
"No I'm not Yi-Ming."
I crossed my arms, with a thousand years of indignance, tightening my grip on my sandwich.
Yi-Ming began beckoning our fellow classmates over.
I was dead in the water. I weighed my options; not only did I have a good amount of sandwich left, but there was also mustard all over my hands, making it impossible to shove the rest of the sandwich in my mouth and hide the evidence. I was looking at a minimum of two to three months of mean nicknames, with solitary lunch confinement indefinitely. I needed to make a decision fast.
"Hey Yi," I stammered, as I realized that all eyes were on me, "I think there is something on your pants".
Yi paused, he had to be smart about his next move, it was winner take all.
"Oh yeah?" Yi answered coldly.
"Yeah, a MUSTARD SANDWICH," and with that I ripped apart my sandwich and winged it across the cubby hitting him mustard side down squarely in the thigh, Yi burst into tears and everyone cheered.
As I was escorted down to the principal's office, I passed by the lunchroom, everyone stared at me, and I waved happily and confidently, I realized my first truth that day, when all else fails, draw a large crowd of first graders around you and make someone cry.

I remember the first time I made a crowd of first graders cry. I was quite proud of myself standing there showing off, what I thought to be my enormous member, and shouting "hey wankers this is where babies come from" right before hearing the ear splitting shout "Scott Pull your pants up and get your ass home." by my wife.
Awesome story.
Wow, I forgot this happened. Fights back in the days.

Student Rights has a useful post on the victory, with many links for reference.
The news that Universities UK has announced that it will be withdrawing guidelines which excused gender segregation on UK campuses is a great success for those who have been campaigning on this issue since the guidelines were released in November.
It's a success in this particular case and, even more, it shows that such a success is possible. So often there are protests but nothing changes; it's very heartening to see a real result.
A demonstration outside UUK's offices showed that people were willing to turn out on the streets to support the rights of women on campus, and this brought the issue to wider public attention.
This led to vocal opposition to this practice from both Labour and the Conservative Party, showing that this was a non-partisan issue, and giving the campaign the strength of political consensus.
There was a crucial intermediate step between the protest and the opposition from Labour and the Tories, and that was the coverage by Channel 4 and the Independent and then the BBC.

Once Stanley Kubrick became aware of Garrett Brown's Steadicam invention in 1974, he couldn't wait to get his hands on one and play with it. While the opening sequence of Halloween was the first horror film to utilize the Steadicam, The Shining took it even further, smoothly gliding the viewer through the halls and the treacherous hedge maze of the Overlook Hotel.
Kubrick even got Brown to operate the Steadicam for the film, which was an honor and a major education for the Steadi inventor. "I would have been happy to be on any of his movies," Brown says. "Stanley moved the camera well and purposely. The Shining was an opportunity to bear down on technique that you wouldn't find anywhere else. That's where I really learned to control the damn thing."
And indeed, with Kubrick's penchant for multiple takes, Brown really learned how to move his invention through endless repetition. On the first day of the shoot, Kubrick did thirty takes of a traveling shot in the lobby, and as Brown says, "It was an opportunity to bear down on technique that you wouldn't find anywhere else." Considering how much the film relied on strenuous camera work, Brown also called it "the Steadicam Olympics."
The Steadicam was also a great device to take the audience through the endless hallways and hedge maze of the Overlook Hotel. Geography is important in horror. You want the audience to know where the closet is so they can yell at the screen not to go in there. Yet as Brown explains, "Your sense of the geography in The Shining was so much larger in scale than in most horror films. In most horror films, you're learning the ins and outs of claustrophobic spaces. With The Shining, it felt much bigger.
"Stanley brought you into spaces in a really interesting way," Brown continues. "His storytelling shots walked you in, and moved you into places that were memorably beautiful, beautifully lit, or strikingly presented in some way. But there are no ordinary spaces in his films."
When Brown showed Kubrick that the Steadicam could shoot at a lens height from eighteen inches to waist-high, Kubrick was thrilled because much of the film revolved around a kid's point of view. To film little Danny riding his Big Wheel through the halls, Brown rode on a wheelchair that Kubrick used for A Clockwork Orange.
Brown used the wheelchair because "in a number of instances it was the only way to get the lens right down to floor level." Brown tried to follow Danny on foot, and got tired after three minutes. "I never even tried running after the kid, that would've been a joke," Brown says. "A kid on a Big Wheel can go about seventy miles an hour."
Because the wheelchair had rubber wheels, you couldn't hear it running across the floor behind Danny, and a wonderful element of the Steadicam shots was the sound of Big Wheel ricketing across the floor, then quietly coasting over the carpet. "None of us had any idea how great the carpet and floor sounds would be until the dailies," Brown says. "You couldn't hear it when you were a few feet away from the actors. As soon as we heard it, we knew that the sound was essential to that scene, because it was so bizarre."
The initial reviews for The Shining weren't kind, despite its technical and narrative achievements. But much like the reviews turned around for Hitchcock's Psycho and Vertigo, opinion soon changed with The Shining as well. It's certainly not a perfect film, and it's often uneven, but much of it still delivers, especially Brown's harrowing Steadicam work.
As the L.A. Times wrote twenty-five years after The Shining's initial release, "Visually, it's a knockout. Every frame, every tracking shot is a masterpiece of cold, paranoid composition." And what wonderful serendipity that Kubrick chose a horror film to go wild with his new toy. It's remarkable to think a tool created to smooth the bumps out of camera moves could help create so much fear, but we're glad it worked out so well.

The article reports on new research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that disproves previously held notions about the meaning of nanodiamonds (incredibly small diamonds) found in sediments that date to the period of history 12,900 years ago that saw the rapid extinction of large creatures and human settlers across north america at the beginning of the cooling period known as the Younger Dryas.
The presence of nanodiamonds in the sediment had led researchers to believe that an impact of something from space had disrupted the natural environment and led to the extinction. However, the new research seems to disprove the impact from space theory, as the strongest evidence - the nanodiamonds - have been shown to be just aggregations of carbon, not proof of a collision with a space-rock.
The research isn't the final word on the issue however, because some proponents of the collision from space theory have claimed that the research from PNAS was looking at the incorrect sediments and didn't accurately study the nanodiamond evidence.
Truly, the issue is an example of how the very nature of science, that it is always changing and adapting, can cause confusion. Researchers simply won't always agree based on the evidence that they have witnessed, which can make it very difficult for the public to draw conclusions as new findings are constantly introduced.

Cat in the Hat Paper Bag Puppet
Just a quick post to share what my seven-year-old daughter has been working on. Her book report assignment this month for school is to create a paper bag puppet of your favorite Dr. Seuss character. She chose The Cat in the Hat {obviously}. If I had had more than one paper bag around this place we would have definitely done more, but this is what we have now. I hope to do more soon so we can have some puppet shows.
We started out by cutting construction paper to the measurements of the bag. I helped her measure and make the appropriate marks on the paper to serve as guiding lines. She did all the cutting, drew on the face, drew and cut out a bow tie, glued it all to her bag and trimmed the overhanging edges with her scissors.
She added the final touches with a marker and glued on a cute paper mouth.
This guy is ready to act out a scene or two.

I decided to go with the birds, so Tweet Tweet!
I started with a sky blue cloth, and layered a grass mat with a nest shaped charger from Pottery Barn.
The salt and pepper shakers are Robin's eggs that sit in a little tray from the Pflatzgraff Outlet, several years ago.
Porcelain eggs from Villeroy and Boch hold some candy eggs, that you get to eat if you eat your dinner! :)
On top of the nest charger,I layered an earthy brown plate, a white as snow square lacey plate, and a sea blue plate.
A nest with tiny sky blue eggs holds the name card. They are from the PB Outlet. The eggs were gold, so I painted them blue.
The centerpiece is a nest filled with a fresh blue hydrangea which I elevated on a blue pedestal, some twigs, and some fresh baby's breath.
The little white bird salt and peppers sitting in a nest are from WS Outlet, but I have to return them as the little plug on the bottom is missing! Annoying!
I floated blue candles in flower shaped bowls, like a birdbath, lol.
The flatware is Treble Clef, that I found in BBB clearance, and then got 20 % off that.
A rattan napkin ring from Cost Plus holds a birdy toile napkin from WS Outlet.
The stems are from Cmas Tree Shop.
That's my Tweety entry for Earth Day. Hope is isn't for the birds!
So let's see who is playing this week! Don't forget your suggestions for next month's challenge. Rett, Gazebo House, suggested a tribute to our mom's, showing or using something we treasure that belonged to them.
