Post subject: Loved this part...but can't remember how it goes...
Ok the part i really liked wasn't a big action scene but i loved the words. When George Cloony is talking to Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and he says this really GREAT dialoge. It's mentioned twice in the beginning and end of the movie. It goes something like "...wave to the light keeper's son...somethin something" I really loved that part and I'm mad at myself cause i'm always telling my freinds about it but i don't even know how it goes. So I though maybe someone who has seen it a million times could help
Anyway if you can even think of some of the dialoge it would help

In the George C. speech, he also said something about a pond where he skated as a kid. Whatever, just thought I'd say it.

That's the best part of the whole movie! I've seen this movie about five or ten times, and it always makes me cry. His voice, when he says his last speech, is SO sexy. I get the chills and just start wailing away! A few weeks ago I thought of that part, and started to cry. I'm cring now, as well.
I wonder how many takes it took for the director to be satisfied. I wonder if Mark choked up with the words in any of the outtakes. Diane Lanes dialogue, when she was talking with Mark's "mother" about her dream, made me cry too. I just did'nt want to see him die. George Clooney is good in the movie, as well.

George's exact speech (not sure on the name of the island w/ the kid)
"Fog's just lifting. Throw off your bowline, throw off your stern. Head out the south channel, pass rocky neck, 10 pound island. Pass Niles pond, where I skated as a kid. Blow your air horn, and ya, throw a wave to the light-house keeper's kid on Desert Island. Then the birds show up. Black backs, herring gulls, big dumb ducks. Sun hits ya, head north, open up to twelve. Steamin' now. The guys are busy, you're in charge. Ya know what? You're a goddam swordboat captain. Is there anything better in the world?"

Have any of you read about some of the things that Mark went trhough during filming!? He got a really bad ear infection oneday, To resolve it, there were two options: 1) Operate, and close the set for two weeks, or, 2) Dig painfully deep in his ear with pliers and try to get the infection out. Mark took the second option. Brave, huh?

TeamSupport.com, a provider of service desk and collaborative customer support software, today released a new version of its software suite that significantly enhances its capabilities to meet the unique needs of larger organizations with customer support teams of 100 representatives or more.
The new software version features the following:
"Although TeamSupport was built to help support teams communicate, collaborate, and share information more easily, some organizations have unique needs specific to which team members can access what information-and when," said Robert C.

New Fire Chief named in Bradley
The Village of Bradley has a new Fire Chief. Jim Baird was relieved of his duties Tuesday by Mayor Bruce Adams. Named to replace Baird is former Deputy-Chief James Travis.
Mayor Adams announced the change but he declined to say why he made the decision.
Baird was named the village's first full-time fire chief five years ago under then-mayor Gael Kent.
Before that, Baird spent his entire, 38-year career in the south suburban Lansing Fire Department, where he rose to the rank of assistant chief.

It is sad that some people do realize the myriad the benefits to reading. Reading is not only for the gathering of facts and stats. Children are allowed to make connections, create visual imagery and predict with fiction in a way that just doesn't occur fiction. The meta cognition that is created with fiction is something completely different than what occurs with non-fiction. And let's not forget that reading is FUN and a lot of times fiction is simply more fun than non-fiction. That is a beautiful and wonderful thing and should not be striped from our children's hands. I found out about one mother who would not allow her children to read such "non-sensical" stories such as Dr. Seuss and I was just dumbfounded as to why we would ever stop a child from reading.

Maria Salvadore
Reading Rockets' children's literature expert, Maria Salvadore, brings you into her world as she explores the best ways to use kids' books both inside — and outside — of the classroom.
No more Pooh?
Many classics of children's literature involve animals that behave like people. I've certainly likened several two-legged people I know to Eeyore. I often think like the Cat in the Hat on a dull, rainy day, looking for good, clean, indoor mischief. And in my house, Farmer Duck became a metaphor for unappreciated hard work. A recent article reports that a Canadian psychologist suggests that books with anthropomorphized animals may be deleterious to children's development; that reading more factual books about animals leads to a better knowledge of animals. (The abstract of the study is also available.) I say that is pure and simple poppycock. I'm a major fan of nonfiction in its myriad forms — narrative nonfiction, informational picture books, concept books etc. — but let's get real. What captures readers of any age in books of fact? Sometimes it's a simple love of factoids; but I know lots of people (and I include myself) like the stories found in nonfiction. However, children are not reading about Max and Ruby to find out about the lives of rabbits any more than Pooh is read to learn about bear habitats (stuffed or not). Parents who read these books to their children are sharing an experience, imparting perhaps the most important information of all: simply that books and stories are enjoyable; that feelings and emotions have been felt by others; and maybe, just maybe, young readers will develop a sense that they're not alone and perhaps learn to laugh at their own foibles as they read about others. Equally important, children are exercising their imaginations — and just like other skills, imagination needs to be used or it will be lost. Winnie the Pooh, Mr. Toad, Max and Ruby and other animals are stand-ins for children. And it doesn't matter if their hair is straight or curly, if there skin is white or brown or mottled. Children see themselves in them. Period. Children — like adults — need a balance of all types of books. The world is altogether too real for too many children as it is. Books with anthropomorphized animals (like books of fact) can be good or dreadful. But let's not limit choices and increase the notion that one particular type of book for young children is better at creating tomorrow's geniuses.
I agree with Maria, books with anthropomorphized animals are fun and interesting for stimulating the imagenation. The stories encourage moralistic and analytical thought. These types of books cross stereotypical lines to allow all children to associate with the characters ANT THEIR behavior in social settings.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- J.J. Barea and Dante Cunningham teamed for three foul shots in the final 14 seconds Wednesday and Minnesota survived a last-second miss to down Denver 108-105.
The Timberwolves fought off the Nuggets after leading by as many as 14 in the fourth period. It was the fourth win in five games for Minnesota while the Nuggets' struggles continued with their sixth loss in nine outings.
Barea gave Minnesota a five-point cushion by making two free throws with 14 seconds left, but Corey Brewer hit a 3-pointer for the Nuggets with 7.8 seconds remaining.
Cunningham was then fouled, but he could make just 1-of-2 with 5.4 seconds to play. That gave Ty Lawson a chance to tie it with a 3-pointer, but he could not convert as time expired.
Nikola Pekovic scored 22 points and had 11 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who made 16 more free throws than did the Nuggets. Andrei Kirilenko contributed 18 points and Barea produced 17 to go with eight assists and five rebounds.
Minnesota star Kevin Love, who was quoted Wednesday as saying he was disappointed by the front office's inability to improve the team, made just 3-of-17 shots from the field and scored eight points.
Denver got 26 points and 14 rebounds from Kenneth Faried and 24 points from Danilo Gallinari.

2. To follow a scent, in an attempt to find its source. I thought I smelled something baking, so I followed my nose down to the kitchen and found my mom icing a cake!
3. To trust one's instinct when making a judgment or decision or taking action. I tend to follow my nose when I have a bad feeling about someone, and it's helped me to avoid a lot of drama.
follow one's nose
1. Lit. to go straight ahead, the direction that one's nose is pointing. The town that you want is straight ahead on this highway. Just follow your nose. The chief's office is right around the corner. Turn left and follow your nose.
2. Fig. to follow an odor to its source. The kitchen is at the back of the building. Just follow your nose. There was a bad smell in the basement—probably a dead mouse. I followed my nose until I found it.
follow one's nose

Indexing? OK so what's next?
A lot of people are going to sign up to do the indexing of the 1940 U.S. Census, but what happens after they sign up? It isn't very clear. The best thing they can do is start indexing. After all, indexing is indexing. By the time the new indexers get going and learn how to do it, they will be ready to tackle the Census. But if they just wait around until the Census is ready to index, sometime after April 2, 2012, they will have a very steep learning curve to get started. The solution? Start indexing. Choose some records you like and get to work. The more you practice the better equipped you will be when it is time to plunge into the Census. Get busy. Don't wait for someone to tell you what to do. The FamilySearch Indexing site is full of helpful videos and other types of instruction. This is it. Indexing is for real. Every record you index is one more added to the Historical Record Collections. Get to work! NOW!

Syrian Internet Cut Off
Well, it's happened again: a country's been cut off the Internet. This time it's Syria.
There's good coverage of the technical details of this outage on the Renesys and CloudFlare blogs. The short version is that all Internet traffic into and out of Syria flows through a single, government-owned ISP, the Syrian Telecommunications Establishment (AS29386). This ISP withdrew their BGP routes from their providers, disabling access for all Syrian IP's (since every ISP in Syria relies on AS29386 for their international connectivity). This is effectively the same network structure that exists in Iran, and it makes it trivial to shut off an entire nation's Internet access: all traffic flows through a single point, and the government controls that point.
My TIER colleague Yahel Ben-David brought up the great point a couple months ago that it's kind of odd that method of choice for country-scale Internet blackouts seems to be withdrawing BGP routes, as opposed to just unplugging cables or powering off routers. The Syrian government tried to blame a cable cut for this blackout, but it's pretty hard to say all your BGP routes just "accidentally" got withdrawn. Withdrawing a BGP route is literally broadcast publicly around the world, so it's not particularly subtle either. I don't have a good explanation of why this is done: maybe the engineers tasked with implementing the blackout are just familiar with BGP? Maybe they don't want to disrupt their consecutive days of uptime numbers? If you're a network engineer who's implemented a national Internet blackout and has the answer, get in touch.

I'm in Papua, Indonesia right now working on a deployment of a system one of my TIER colleagues, Kurtis Heimerl, developed. This is a little blurb I wrote on the TIER blog about our first week here.

May 10, 2007 - We have been enjoying the world that Tom Clancy has created for years now. A world that involves all of the fascinating aspects of a great Bond or War novel blended beautifully inside reality. His writing style is one of the leading reasons that he not only has become a well-versed and received author, but one of the most recognizable names in gaming as well. With recent smash hits and multiplatform mega hits like Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Ghost Recon Advance Warfighters 2 dropping hints about an impending war, it was only a matter of time before news about the EndWar would surface.
In the year 2014, the world realizes peace. The United States and Europe have formed a unified alliance to launch the first interlocking, anti-ballistic missile system of its kind. 8.2 billion watch as the end of strategic nuclear war is affirmed. Missile silos are emptied and economies are stabilized. The ideal of human coexistence seems to be finally attained. Not all is meant to last. Only 12 months pass before things start to unravel with the breaking news of overstated oil reserves. This event, of course, raises the cost of natural resources, doubles their values, and cripples the industrial world. Russia, in the midst of this devastating loss, has found new wealth after investing their profits from petrol. Over the next three years, the U.S. and Europe devise plans and countermeasures to halt a resurgent Russia. Once again, the world finds itself with opposing superpowers as well as the beginnings of the militarization of space. The U.S. reveals plans of launching the first military base into orbit. Two years later, with dissension and opposing military tensions mounting, the module launch falls victim to a terrorist attack. The shockwaves are felt throughout the world and events begin to unfold in a series of reactions that the human race may never recover from, and so a conflict of final magnitude begins.
Last month, when Ubisoft announced plans to release a completely new chapter into the Tom Clancy universe, everyone began to sweat with the plotline revealed. The premise of the entire world at war, taking place smack dab in the middle of World War III, seems to have warranted a nod on the anticipation level. The interesting thing about it is that you will have the option of being in control of the fight on many levels. There will be three separate factions that you will be able to lead or join - the European Enforcers, the U.S. Joint Strike Force, and the Russian Spetsnaz. Inside each faction you will be able to build your squad to your liking. With the capability of having up to twelve units in each squad, the strategy tactics of the game are shaping up to be quite nice. We will have everything including Riflemen, Mechanics, Panzers, Transporters, Helicopters, Artillery, and Commanders - all intricate parts of a successful squad. We will have the opportunity to assume the role of any of the units in the squad, unless you are the commander. This is where the strategic elements of the game will play a huge part, as well as the online multiplayer aspect of the game.
While the amount of details on the game are sketchy at best, we do know that there will be options aside from the massive plans for online gameplay. For instance, there will be a single player options. This mode is where we will find the full exploration of the units. As stated before, there will be seven different types of units to add to your squad. A total of twelve units make up your squad, so you will be able to pick a couple more of your favorite type of units. However, it seems that these units will have a cost. The good news about that is that all of the units will cost the same, so at least we know what to expect. You will also be able to personalize each of your units. Unfortunately, the extent of personalization has not been fully disclosed.
EndWar is shaping up to be a nice addition to the military pantheon of video games, even in the very early stages. With Tom Clancy's name branded onto it, we can be sure what to expect. EndWar is set for a 2008 release, and we can assume that in the coming months more details will surface surrounding Tom Clancy's new mega hit game series. As soon as the info springs forth, we will pass it along to you.

Project Harambee ("all pull together" in Swahili) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization helping those in sub-Saharan Africa affected by HIV. We do this in a variety of ways: 1. education here and in Africa to raise awareness. 2. health care initiatives using medical and lay volunteers. 3. microeconomics projects giving women & children a "hand up" to care for themselves without relying on a handout. 4. marketing craft items made by co-op work groups. 5. building communication bridges between school groups here and in Africa. HARAMBEE promotes partnership with those we want to help. The height of empowerment is the ability to empower another. Therefore, all projects we adopt require participants to give back to their community. E.g., those who receive a dairy goat give the first-born kid to another family; when teaching oral rehydration therapy for infants, we educate trainers who continue teaching when we have left. We foster good management practices, accountability, and sustainability. We have no overhead, salaries, or advertising costs, and every penny gets squeezed 'til it begs for mercy.
- February 2008: Project Hamambee has started a solar stove project, in Naivasha, Kenya. They have cooked food and pasteurized water with no difficulty in little time. All are eager to pursue this project, as with the troubles, firewood and charcoal are more difficult to come by.

Fantasy Football University – Class IV
Prepare For Your Draft
You learned what you need to know and how to prepare for a fantasy league in Class II, now it is time to brush up for your upcoming drafts.
Player and Coach Movement and Their Impact on Fantasy Football
Often a player can benefit from a coaching change. For example if a running back is limited in a pass-happy offense, and then gets to play in a more balanced or run-heavy attack –- then his fantasy stock will undoubtedly be on the rise, as he will be touching the ball more and utilizing his talent.
You also CAN NOT underestimate the value of an entire off season of getting to work with his new up and coming QB or a new Offensive Line. Their timing will only get better and better every practice, so they already know each other much better than any time last year, and that will only continue.
This is actually an important aspect of analyzing any player who came to a new team last year. It's not easy to learn a new offense and get used to new team members right away. That goes for rookie and veterans. You will often see a 2nd year player explode onto the scene after taking a full year to adjust to the intricacies of the NFL game and lifestyle.
You will often even see veteran free agents needing a year to adjust to new teammates and a new offense, so look for guys who were big name free agents last year, but perhaps underperformed so may be undervalued with another full off season on the new team..
Players leaving town could also make an impact on their former team. Matt Forte left Chicago for New York, which opens the door for second year pro Jeremy Langford to shine as the Bears' featured running back. Speaking of the Jets, look for wide receivers to get a bit less attention with Matt Forte's ability to catch passes out of the backfield.
All of these are examples who players and coaches movement affects fantasy football. We put out numerous articles throughout he pre season detailing every move and what the impact of each is on the different teams, so these are a MUST READ in your draft prep.
Evaluating Talent
The reason that you evaluate talent is easy, it is because you want to be able to make a rankings list or "Cheatsheet," so that you can bring it to your draft. We think there are two things to consider above and beyond figuring out how the core group of players is going to perform. What I mean by "core group" are the guys that everyone else knows about. The first is players to avoid. After you rate the core group and figure out what players that you want to avoid, you have to uncover the sleepers. They can make or break your season. This may sound like a lot to figure out, here's the good news… here at FFChamps.com we do ALL of this for you! We have the EXACT same cheatsheets our staff of pros use at their drafts available for you to print and they are updated daily.
We also have our C3 (Champ's Customizable Cheatsheet) so you can use our projections and plug in ANY type of scoring system to get a custom Cheatsheet.
However you create your Cheatsheet is up to you, but the key is to have one for ready to go fro your draft.
So here is what we have:
Ranking the Core Group
We all know who the core group of players is -- what we don't know is which player is going to perform the best and which player is going to perform the worst. There are many factors that go into evaluating the players. Let's take a look:
3 Groups - There are three groups of core players. They are Superstars, Rising Stars, and Solid Players. For the purpose of ranking your players this will give you a good outline at the beginning. Superstars are first, Rising Stars are second and Solid Players are third. Obviously this isn't set in stone and you will end up with the groups meshing a little bit. If you look at the Champs Cheatsheet you will notice that the top RB's (Adrian Peterson, Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley) are all superstars.
Training Camp (and mini-camps) - Training camp will give a small insight into how the season will unfold. Players will get injured, players will emerge, coaches will talk about players (good and bad), players will win and lose starting jobs, etc. It is important to follow the news through FF Champs breaking news page to see what is developing. You can also get all of this news sent to your phone if you follow us on Twitter.
We also do that for you as well, and adjust our rankings accordingly. Can Jamaal Charles rebound from his 2nd ACL surgery? We need to see what happens in camp and then we will tell you. Is Knowshon Moreno ready to lead the Broncos as their No. 1 running back? We will get a better idea in camp.
Uncovering Sleepers
Sleepers are what we fantasy geeks live for. what we are concerned with right now is how do we spot them? They will begin to reveal themselves when you are looking over personnel changes, tracking free agents, and watching what happens in training camp.
We are always looking for personnel changes and players on the rise.
These types of situations will unfold if you do your homework. They all won't work out but the ones that do will pay huge dividends.
There are two distinct situations that a lot of people don't know about that will cause a player to break out.
1. Young QB's that are consistently lowering their TD to interception ratio are usually on the verge of breaking out. You can get a backup using this system and watch him blossom into a star.
2. WR's tend to break out in their third year. The reason for this is that it is very difficult to understand all the different cover schemes that are used in the NFL. It takes a receiver about two years of repetitions to be comfortable. It also takes the receiver two years to get his body into the kind of shape that it needs to be in to withstand the pounding that it will take over 16 games. You can look back at all the good receivers and you will see that most of them break out in their third year. Sometimes in their 2nd.
How will you spot the Sleepers?
Easy, we'll tell you! Right on our Cheatsheets we denote sleepers with an asterisk (*). In addition to that we've already posted our annual "Big Sleeper List" with dozens of sleepers at each position and we continue to add to that list right up until September. It's all available right in the FFChamps Draft Kit.
Targeting Players
When targeting players, favor youth and those who have a lot to prove –- like those entering a contract year and angling for a new deal. Also look for players that work in efficient offenses, like Green Bay and New England. A No. 2 receiver on a good team (Randall Cobb) could be far more valuable than a No. 1 receiver (Anquan Boldin) on a mediocre one.
Taking players from the next great offenses is also ideal in winning at fantasy football (see the 10 Commandments for Winning at Fantasy Football). One team that comes to mind for 2016 is the Jaguars, with Black Bortles one year wiser as their field general, and with the acquisitions of receiver Chris Ivory plus a dynamic receiving core, this Offense is expected to make a jump.
Lastly, look for running backs that operate in a run-heavy offense, and receivers that work in a pass-heavy system.
Players and Teams to Avoid
This is a tough area because they have to appear on your draft board. What happens if there comes a time in your draft to take this player? It is up to you, you are the one that wanted to avoid him in the first place. We usually skip that player unless the value is too good to be true. There are a few factors in figuring players to avoid.
1. Quality of the team - If the team is really bad the chances are that the fantasy production will be really bad. Last year, were there any Browns you would have really wanted on your team? NO. How about any 49ers? The answer is NO. Remember that I am not talking about the 23rd and 24th players on your roster. I am talking about core guys.
2. Age and Injuries - There comes a time in every player's career that age catches up to him, he starts to break down, and he has to make way for the younger guys. As owners, we usually want the guy who is young and strong rather than the guy that is old and on his way out. I know that those old guys were responsible for winning us trophies but sometimes we just have to move on.
3. Training Camp - Like I said before, this is the time that players and coaches will give you insight as to what is going to happen during the season. You will see situations arise where you say to yourself, "I don't want that guy on my team," LISTEN!!!
In order to rank the aforementioned core group, you start out with the three sub groups. You rank the players as to how you think they are going to perform. Then you spend some time looking over number 2 & 3. When things stand out you make the proper adjustments. Then for the next month or two you have to follow what goes on in the NFL and make decisions on what you see and hear. It is important that you make these changes. If you don't adjust your rankings they can never get better.
Also, don't be afraid to be wrong. Everyone will be wrong sometimes; the object is to be wrong less than the other guy. Now, while you are checking out personnel changes and coaching changes you will start to see players that have a good chance of having breakout years, you will also see some players and teams that you want to have nothing to do with. This is how we come up with the other two categories.
This may all sound a lot, but it's the work you need to put in to win your Fantasy league. The good news, is we do all of this and more for you! IF you want to do it yourself, by all means, but if you're OK with teaming up with the winningest Experts in Fantasy Football, get all of that an more in the FFChamps Draft Kit.

Over the last year and a half I have been editing the talos harness for various bug fixes, but just recently I have needed to dive in and add new tests and pagesets to talos for Firefox and Fennec. Here are some of the things I didn't realize or have inconveniently forget about what goes on behind the scenes.
- tp4 is really 4 tests: tp4, tp4_nochrome, tp4_shutdown, tp4_shutdown_nochrome. This is because in the .config file, we have "shutdown: true" which adds _shutdown to the test name and running with –noChrome adds the _nochrome to the test name. Same with any test that us run with the shutdown=true and nochrome options.
- when adding new tests, we need to add the test information to the graph server (staging and production). This is done in the hg.mozilla.org/graphs repository by adding to data.sql.
- when adding new pagesets (as I did for tp4 mobile), we need to provide a .zip of the pages and the pageloader manifest to release engineering as well as modifying the .config file in talos to point to the new manifest file. see bug 648307
- Also when adding new pages, we need to add sql for each page we load. This is also in the graphs repository bug in pages_table.sql.
- When editing the graph server, you need to file a bug with IT to update the live servers and attach a sql file (not a diff). Some examples: bug 649774 and bug 650879
- after you have the graph servers updated, staging run green, review done, then you can check in the patch for talos
- For new tests, you also have to create a buildbot config patch to add the testname to the list of tests that are run for talos
- the last step is to file a release engineering bug to update talos on the production servers. This is done by creating a .zip of talos, posting it on a ftp site somewhere and providing a link to it in the bug.
- one last thing is to make sure the bug to update talos has an owner and is looked at, otherwise it can sit for weeks with no action!!!
This is my experience from getting ts_paint, tpaint, and tp4m (mobile only) tests added to Talos over the last couple months.

As a world-wide leader in laboratory cryogenics, Janis has developed many custom cryogenic configurations. Many of these have been refined into a standard product line and are available from inventory.
What about your requirements? Aren't research and standard products contradictory? Your project is special and special equipment is often required.
Janis Research has the track record to back up its claim as the leader in custom cryogenics. Read below to find out about our two NASA Public Service Group Achievement Awards and our R & D 100 Award. The combination of these awards clearly states, in a manner no publicity rhetoric can, that Janis has the capability, the track record, and the will to go beyond the commonplace and provide what others cannot. The Janis Research staff has the experience and the knowledge to help even the most challenging program. Contact Janis to discuss your particular custom cryogenic problem. We will work with you to find the solution.
Products for Exo-atmospheric Research and Astronomy
Under the umbrella of the custom cryogenics line, Janis Research has cooperated with NASA on several programs. This cooperation has extended over several areas of interest.
The ARC Argus program, successor to the ATLAS program, investigated the upper atmosphere from a balloon platform. (See photo to the right) Of interest to the program was the tracking of inert tracer molecules for determining direction and speed.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in cooperation with Janis, produced the first viable test hardware on the SIRTF program. This project involved a mirror test and qualification operating at liquid Helium temperatures. Sponsored by the LTS&E group, Janis received a Public Service Group Achievement Award for this program.
NASA GSFC worked with Janis on the AImS camera testing requirements. Working with UMD and the GSFC Planetary Systems group, Janis developed a test enclosure to mimic the Mars environment for earth-bound terrain testing.
Capillary Cooling Cryostat
In 1998, Janis was awarded a R & D 100 Award for the development of a capillary cooling cryostat, allowing the disciplines of FLNS and capillary electrophoresis to be combined for the first time.
Solid Neon Shielded Superfluid Helium Cryostat for Micro Gravity Studies in the Space Shuttle Environment
In 2000, Janis received its second NASA Public Service Group Achievement Award, again from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This time it was for Janis' performance on the FACET program, the development of a cryostat to comply with the Shuttle Hitchhiker program and providing a platform for microgravity experimentation. This second PSGAA, for a small company, is without precedent in the history of the JPL program and perhaps in all of NASA.
High-cooling Power Test Chamber
The chamber shown on the right is designed to provide a cryogenic work environment with an available temperature range of 20 K - 300 K. NASA intends for this chamber to become a multi-purpose instrument, capable of performing a wide variety of experiments. Initially, NASA will use the chamber to test and evaluate the performance of space qualified stepper motors. These motors will be used on rover vehicles in future Moon and Mars missions. The output of the stepper motor will be connected to a dynamometer outside the chamber, and the power, torque and other performance characteristics will be measured at various temperatures.
Special Hybrid Dewar for Efficient Operation with a Superconducting Magnet
Cryogenic Cold Trap with Multiple Independently Controllable Chambers
Down Looking Detector Cooling Dewar
Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) Compatible Optical Cryostat
Ultra High Stability Variable Temperature Cryostat
The photo on the right shows a special model 16CNDT ultra high stability variable temperature cryostat offering variable temperatures between 5 K and 325 K, with controllable stable temperatures that maintain a better than 1 mK stability over a ten minute period. The sample may be located either in vacuum or in a cold gas environment (top loading) depending on the application. It is also available with a high field (6 to 17 tesla) superconducting magnet, with or without optical access to the sample. Contact Janis today for more information.
Liquid Nitrogen Laser Cooling Dewar
Cryostat for High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging The cryostat to the right was developed for intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by groups at Columbia University, Duke University, and DuPont. These cryostats are used to cool a set of high temperature superconducting (HTSC) radio-frequency receiver coils located near the patient or object to be imaged.
TSC receiver coils can produce the highest resolution images for the clinician, but place stringent requirements on the cryostat used to cool the coils in order that image quality is preserved. Here a specially-designed, non-magnetic vacuum tail is used to enclose the coils. The mechanical strength of this material under evacuation is critical to proper function as the coils are placed quite close to the inner wall of the vacuum tail. The tail is also translucent and provides the operator with ability to visually position the coils with respect to the patient. The coils are thermally anchored to a non-metallic substrate, and are able to be translated via the precision manipulators at the top of the cryostat (i.e., on the right hand side of the photo). The cryostat is also easy to operate as it employs Janis' SuperTran technology.
X-ray Diffraction Vacuum Shroud for Closed Cycle Refrigerator
Janis has a custom vacuum shroud for X-ray diffraction available for 4 K or 10 K closed cycle refrigerators
Cryostats for Low Temperature System for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)/Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)
Shown to the right is a special helium dewar supplied to Seoul National University in South Korea. This unit was to be integrated into a UHV surface analysis system which includes instruments such as an AFM/STM probe. Featuring a modular design, this cryostat required the full complement of Janis' design and manufacturing capabilities—all at a cost far below our competitors.
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) Superconducting Magnet System with Optical Access
An 8 T split superconducting magnet system has been designed and built for a Scanning Tunneling Microscope with optical access to the microscope cooling stage. The microscope is top loaded into a UHV space that can be baked out to a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius without affecting the superconducting magnet or the rest of the cryostat. The system offers variable temperatures from below superfluid helium temperatures up to room temperature. Several variations are available on this basic design, enclosing bottom optical access, cryostats for Scanning Near Field Optical Microscopes, Atomic Force Microscopes, etc.
Superconducting Magnet System for use with Rigaku X-ray Generator and Theta/Theta Wide Angle Goniometer
Shown to the right is a superconducting magnet system for use with a Rigaku X-ray generator and Theta/Theta Wide Angle Goniometer. The sample is placed in a high magnetic field (0 to 40,000 Gauss) and its temperature can be varied between 2.5 and 300 K. The sample can be introduced into the high field region and located precisely with the aid of a UHV compatible translation stage. Samples can be changed without disturbing or warming up the magnet or the dewar that contains it.
Two side looking windows offer a wide angle X-ray beam path to the sample (traveling in vacuum), allowing access to the incoming and diffracted beams through angles of 0 to 38. The compact design allows the magnet system to fit precisely within the confines of the X-ray generator and goniometer.
The complete system includes heaters, field independent thermometry, an automatic temperature controller and a superconducting magnet power supply for charging and discharging the magnet. A high efficiency helium transfer line is also included for continuous cool down of the sample.
Room-temperature Vacuum Chamber
Shown to the right is a room-temperature vacuum chamber made from a CCS-150 instrumentation skirt. It has an anti-reflection coated window installed on top, two ten-pin feedthroughs, and a thermocouple vacuum gauge. This can be used to make electrical and optical measurements under a vacuum at room temperature.

ZootUnsopsy escribió:Astrology is a interminable subject that covers the breadth and depth of human experience. What is most popular is what can be easily and ourselves correlated such as Sun-sign astrology or relationships. Some subjects are comparatively simple and can be enjoyed sooner than tons without a huge investment of frequently or effort. Some astrological subjects appropriate more m'tier and reflect on and a admirer is born. Noiseless other astrological subjects bare the expert reader, researcher or teacher. Whatever level of empathy you are seeking, there are loads of astrological subjects to placate your intellectual itch.
This article is wide mundane astrology, which in itself covers a myriad of subjects. The solemn word of honour "mundane" stems from the Roman bulletin "mundus" or "of the world." Mundane astrology is all about the world and our circumstances in it such as weather, turf movements, statesmanship, countries, etc. and is more usual than personal. To me mundane is give living in the world as it affects a collective. My definite application stemmed from inspect on the USA as a territory and the 43 presidents that have led and/or served this country. This unambiguous manoeuvre of mundane astrology is termed differentiating or political.
To me there are two essential topics to mull over for the state relevancy of mundane astrology, planets and houses. In a previous article I covered the reference of planets and in this article I intention occupy the application of houses. In busted to adequately allow and rub in the principles of mundane/political astrology you must own established potent comprehension of the basics of natal astrology. This is unelaborated of all applications of astrology. Leading you increase your base or gist cognition of planets, signs, houses and aspects and inexact reading skills. The loafing is adaptation and application of those gist principles. These principles do not change from technique to gift or use to application. In any case, the words chosen to give an account of such application will change. There is a tremendous difference in the words you would opt to portray an peculiar effect, a relational really, a biuro warszawa rachunkowe capacity, a jingoistic force or a world-view effect. For example, Jupiter and what Jupiter represents has an material make-up that command not change, but our information ilk adapts and changes repayment for each application.
The most important thing that we do in our experience is to refer to with equal another. To not be clever to describe successfully makes life least burdensome in compensation many. I be undergoing done thousands and thousands of welkin maps for thousands of people over my long years of being a skilful astrologer. Very likely the one apparatus that was most important to the mortal physically being skim was relationships of all varieties. At the Teksty reklamowe end of life, relationships or the paucity of them were what was valued most, regretted most and controlled the reason of survival circumstance the most. At the essence of relationship issues are the opening and noteworthy relationships we appearance with our break of dawn family. Here is where our values are established and developed to develop the main ingredient as a remedy for the relationships we found exchange for ourselves in our future. As we maturate, we build our own unique genre circles supplementary a myriad of other relationships into which we enter. Kids is where we begin our voyage to understand and come about all relationships.
In sometime articles I entertain written approximately the parental axis, the 4th/10th houses of any fulsomely map, as approvingly as the individual devoted and patriarchal roles. To whatever manner, the ancestry is not just our parents or need of them. Each of us has a great, rich past within our kids, passable guys and non-standard guys. There is a genetic heritage. Yes we can see the physical characteristics that are handed down past the gene pool. But there is far more than what we succeed to from our families on other levels. I am exploring this one's nearest astrological tradition step by way of according with wholly a series of articles.
Any sky map is constructed with the turf (on which we all eke out a living) in the center and the cosmic zip blueprint existing about that middle core. If we were on the Moon, heavens maps would be constructed with the Moon in the center. On Mars, Mars would be in the center, etc. The hoop hew is called "the map" and the divisions are called "houses." There are 12 divisions of the houses good as there are 12 sign divisions on the zodiac. The signs bestow make an exhibit mannerisms, expressions and are descriptive in nature. The houses embellish 12 compartments or arenas of palpable experience. Each of those twelve houses therefore should bear numerous issues and also the people in your life. The unimpaired of the hoop maps the complete of your elasticity, every sole thing. The technique is to learn to read that ether map successfully, which can be more involved than it seems. Our meet with a view this article last will and testament be on the people represented beside the houses, unusually the members of your family.
An exposed listing gets its high regard from the occurrence that when you list your building as a remedy for sale as an provide listing you 'extend' the listing up to multiple true trading estate agents from multiple official wealth agencies to earmark them to pretend to be your lodgings as the sales agent. With an unbolted listing you're not tied into using merely a particular true housing agent for a pinpoint space of przeprowadzki biur measure as you would call of a unique power listing.
Each true caste agent desire play a joke on their own database or get in touch with shopping list of buyers that are looking payment specific types of houses and if your family matches the requirements of one of their existing prospects, it could result in a sale. It's solely natural that the more agents that know wide your diet, the more number of homebuyers that could be inspecting your house. Still, undecided listings want never earn the extensive notice or secondment from the agents as it would if your council was listed as an exclusive-agency listing.
A person vital gratuity here: With an unclosed listing all the agents whim want to gourmandize return up a for vending cartouche in first of your parliament so that they can proliferating their gamble a accidentally of receiving sales enquiries inaccurate the sign. Not at all eat more than two Throughout Bargain-priced signs (from personal agencies) in guise of your house. If you suffer with any more than two signs out the front of your assets it could part of to be a 'distressed' hallmark (anybody sign is visionary). A 'distressed' property is in unison where the vendor is in desperate have occasion for to sell. This could be because the line has been on the bazaar after so fancy, the bounty could be too turbulent or there could be something wrong with the worth or the field in which it's situated. Having too profuse agent signs into the open air the front of your parliament could make it appear to be a estate in upset and this could transform your cessation selling price and even the buyers sooner impressions when they plunge gone and forgotten your house.
What is the importance of the 10th Board in a natal horoscope? The 10th Assembly is the rock bottom dot of the run of the Suntan completely the 12 Houses, Sun being the routine atmakaraka or papal nuncio of our Soul. 10th Parliament is where the Sun shines most visibly at maximum strength. It is where the Suntan's steaming rays, the effulgence of our woman can become the most impact. It is where the reason's job is most important.
The 10th Organization is an Artha House. Artha means projektowanie stron kraków cash and relates to resources. In a simplified means, the 10th House can be seen as our value as an lone during our vest-pocket extract of interval on this planet. It is actually what our lives have amounted to at the uncommitted of the age when all is said and done. It is the completely validity of our creature in the appreciation of a higher specialist, the bailiwick itself. 10th Home is often attributed as being the House of trade but it is much more than that. It as our 'collective identity', where we fit in the bigger picture.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressured Iran again Saturday to return Americans who have been detained in the region, telling leadership in the country that her primary goal is to reunite the missing U.S. citizens with their families back home.
"We once again urge Iran's leadership to quickly resolve all outstanding American citizen cases," Clinton said in a statement just days after a U.S. graduate student who had been held in Iran was returned to Los Angeles.
A retired FBI agent, three hikers and an Iranian-American academic are still stuck in the country, according to Fox News.

Right off the get go, let me say that this is the most gorgeous place we've ever been to in Korea. Holy crap. All of the other pensions feel like mud and sticks compared to this place. It's clean and modern as hell. I feel bad for the other villas around it, which I'm sure we'd freaking love if it weren't in the context of G Dragon's Villa, which totally just blow them out of the water. Whoa.
The price wasn't insane, either. Our room was $150 a night. We paid around that for our last pension we went to. We did get a cheap room, though. Some of the rooms go for $700 a night. SCREW THAT! We like you guise, but we can't afford to drop that kinda dough to show you what this place was like. Cheap room is good enough room, thx!
The Villa is gorgeous, but the scenery is really some of the most gorgeous I've ever seen. Layers of mountains as you look into the valley, that little body of calm water. It's gorgeous. So crushingly beautiful. I could sleep in a tent out there and be happy. It's really, really nice. Here: we took some photos for you:
Ok, this doesn't have much to do with G-Dragon's villa itself, but it was a lovely story. We had neighbours beside us, who also took a cheapy room. Our lawns connected. This is important to know.
Martina made some Jeon to go with our dinner for the night, but she made too much, so she decided to pack some up and offer it to our neighbours. They were really shocked, not only because we offered them food, but because I don't think white people make jeon and give it to Korean people. Just saying…
That's not the best part of the story. A few minutes later, they come over to our area to offer us something of theirs: A WHOLE RACK OF PORK RIBS! Hot damn! It was huge! And totally a not fair trade. We gave them stuff we made out of a package with some of our own extra ingredients. Cost a buck at most. Theirs? A lot more than a buck. Great deal! And, really, such a lovely experience that makes me fall in love with this country a little bit more. Thank you, kind Korean neighbours, for being so awesome.
Our room was kinda lacking in some areas. The bed was hard as hell and the pillows were, too. It could just be our cushy-stushy asses that need overly soft bedding, but it was really tough for us to fall asleep. Also, the bathroom door was deadly. You didn't see this on camera, but one time I tried to get out of the bathroom and the door fell right off and almost landed on Martina. It…needs some upkeep.
Also, as much as I think GD is cool, I don't really want to listen to his music blasting all the time at breakfast. Sure, for the fan experience, eating breakfast in the G Dragon cafe, watching GD videos everywhere, seeing GD's piano, big pictures of GD, would be great if you're a fangirl or fanboy. We're just like, yeah, that's enough already. I'd like to just eat my eggs in a bit of quiet, please.
There's one thing we want to talk about that really upset us when we were at G Dragon's Villa: his poor dog, Gaho. We were really excited to see Gaho, because we're dog people and love playing with dogs, but we were really sad around Gaho. The poor dog is on a chain all day. He has a dog house built for him, but the space that he's in isn't big enough for a dog his size. In the morning we see him sleeping beside piles of poop and puddles of urine. In the afternoon he's put on a short leash and just lays around all day. We didn't see him walked once.
What's worse: he reeks of urine and sweat. He wasn't washed in lord knows how long. You can smell it a meter away from him. The only thing we could think of around Gaho was how sad we were that this lovely, gorgeous dog is here in the countryside, with lots of land to run around in, and a big body of water to be washed in, and he's chained up to mope all day.
We're not blaming GD for this. He's not there to take care of his dog. We're assuming his schedule became too busy so he gave his dog to the people managing the Villa, and probably assumes that they're going to take good care of the dog. GD: if you're reading this, hire someone to play with your dog. Get someone to bathe him. He's so sad there.
Also, we saw a sad cat on a leash tied up to the garbage. He sat in a small box. Every time you walked up to him he'd hop out purring and meowing and begging for attention. I leaned over to pet him and he grabbed onto my finger and licked my hands non-stop. As soon as I tried to walk away he grabbed onto my legs and didn't let me go, and meowed as I backed away. The cat was covered in mange, with hair falling off his ears and patches of it falling off his body as well.
Why chain up a cat? I don't get it. It's the countryside. Let them run free. They'll go out and get rid of any rats or bugs, and come back to you at night for dinner time and snuggles. Keeping a sad mangy cat tied up to the dumpster is heartbreaking.
We spoke with our friends, Nic and Hugh from MyKoreanHusband about this, and they've noticed similar mistreating of animals in the countryside. Animals are just tied up all day and neglected. That just seems to be the lay of the land. Fine. I'm not trying to impose my Western Colonialist ways on Korea or anything that Tumblr would SocialJusticeWarrior about, but I don't think it's unfair of me to ask GD to get someone to take better care of his animals, no?
Let us know what you think. Altogether, we still had a lovely time at G-Dragon's Villa, and it's one of the nicest places we've ever been to in Korea. From now on, if we ever want a weekend getaway, instead of going to a hotel or something, we're heading out to Dolce Vita. But, that doesn't change that our first time there we were often quite sad about the animals.
On a less sad note, we've got some extra scenes and bloopers from the day. Check em out!
We've got a few more videos that we made out of the road trip. Martina's recipe for Doenjjang Jjigae was really surprisingly delicious, and that should be coming up next week, and the week after that we'll show you what a Korean Rest Stop/Pit Stop is like. We were far more excited about it than we should have been. Make sure you don't miss out on any of these videos by clicking on this pretty link right here:

Actually, what would have been highly disappointing is if they hadn't said anything at all because it could risk their relationship with the k-pop industry. By speaking out about what they've seen they are sending a message that they don't care who it is, if they see something wrong they are going to speak up about it.
I hope they did ask questions too. But seriously, if I saw a cat chained up (even without the mange and a desperation for attention) I would think something was seriously wrong. As to the rest of your rant: They don't even say that the cat is GD's, they say that there was a cat. They also don't say that GD is currently caring for his dog (heck, this is a direct quote: "We're not blaming GD for this. He's not there to take care of his dog."), they say the staff are supposed to be. So rather than aiming a post such as this at them, you should consider reading what has been said and directing fans that are accusing GD of animal abuse to do the same. Who would have thought it, but if you intend to leave an angry comment, I guess reading now comes with responsibility, too.

With The Monuments Men hitting theaters this week, I thought this might be a good opportunity to discuss the fate of valuable artifacts during WWII. And this leads us—as all things inevitably must—to the subject of extinct reptiles.
About a hundred million years ago, North Africa was the world capital of big, carnivorous dinosaurs. The biggest of them all was Spinosaurus, top contender for the largest known meat-eating dinosaur of all time. Even the lowest estimates of its size would make this animal longer than T. rex, and the higher estimates—up to 59 feet from nose to tail tip—are longer by far than those for any other theropod dinosaur known to science.
Spinosaurus got its moniker from the row of spines atop its vertebrae, some of them over five feet high, giving it a prominent sail or ridge running the length of its back. The German paleontologist Ernst Stromer came up with the name in 1915, based on some jawbones, vertebrae, and ribs discovered three years earlier in Egypt.
For thirty years, these fossils were safe and sound in Munich's Paläontologisches Museum. Then the war came, and European museums weren't safe havens anymore.
On the night of April 24, 1944 the Royal Air Force hit Munich with a bombing raid that wrecked the museum and destroyed the Spinosaurus fossils inside. Spinosaurus bones aren't that plentiful, so the loss of any of them is a big deal, but the loss of this specimen was especially significant because it was the holotype (the individual used in the first official scientific description of the species). All that remains of it today are Stromer's notes, drawings, and photos.
Perhaps the rarity and fragmentary nature of Spinosaurus fossils help explain why this dinosaur hasn't always been as popular as you'd expect. It's more well known now than it used to be, largely thanks to a starring role as the main antagonist in Jurassic Park III.
I'm partial to T. rex myself, but that scene is just freaking awesome.
Another massive carnivorous dino prowling around Cretaceous North Africa was Carcharodontosaurus, first discovered in the 192os and re-named by Stromer in 1931. Like Spinosaurus, this guy was huge—upwards of forty feet long. Its five-foot skull was lined with serrated, eight-inch teeth.
And also like Spinosaurus, the holotype got pulverized by Allied bombs falling on Munich. Expeditions to the Sahara unearthed additional specimens in the 1990s, but Stromer's original went up in smoke during the war.
In fact, the RAF's April attack on Munich basically wiped out Stromer's remarkable collection, including the type specimen of the carnivorous dinosaur Bahariasaurus, the only known specimen of the unusual prehistoric crocodile Stomatosuchus, and the bones of the long-necked dinosaur Aegyptosaurus. And the war cost Stromer much more than his fossils. Two of his sons died in the army, while the third spent years as a prisoner of the Russians.
Incidentally, the First World War took its toll on paleontology, too. In December 1916 the German raider Möwe sank the Canadian ship Mount Temple, along with the twenty-two crates of hadrosaur and turtle fossils on board.

In this presentation, we'll look at how to plan a user documentation project when you're working for a startup technology company. Working in this environment gives you the opportunity to work 'from a clean sheet', but it also has its own challenges of working in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment.
We'll look at the issues around planning user documentation and the additional considerations when you are a startup. Your budget may be limited and the product or service in development may be constantly changing, so how should you work in this situation? What should you be developing, and what is the value of user documentation for a startup?
This session will cover:
- What is different about working for a startup
- Lean startup strategies
- The value of user documentation for a startup and why should you provide it
- How to document in this environment
- What you should document
- What you should measure
- What to do when budgets are limited
- What to do when there is no clear audience
This session is delivered by Ellis Pratt.

Soak the sultanas, currants, figs, mixed peel, cherries and the apricots in the brandy in a bowl overnight if possible or for at least a few hrs (if you don't have time for this, place the fruit in a microwaveable bowl with the brandy and give it a quick blast in the microwave to plump up).

Butter 2 x 1.5-litre pudding basins and divide the mixture between them, filling almost to the rim. Smooth the tops and cover with 2 circles of greaseproof paper. Cover each pudding with a sheet of foil with a folded pleat down the centre, to allow the pudding to expand, and secure everything by tying it tightly with some string. Stand the puddings in a deep, large pan (or 2 if that's easier) on trivets or upturned saucers and pour boiling water around so it comes about a third of the way up. Cover the pan and steam the puddings for 5 hrs, topping up with more boiling water when necessary.
Let the puddings cool down before removing the foil and greaseproof paper, then cover with cling film over the top and store in a cool, dry place if you aren't using them straight away. This is the time you can drizzle them with more booze in the run-up to Christmas if you have time. To reheat, steam the pudding for 1 hr more before turning out and flaming with hot brandy.

The pattern I am finding in these readings is that assessment needs to be more holistic; assessment should be a method for students to learn rather than a focus on evaluation; and assessment should provide ongoing, meaningful feedback for students to practice instead of being judged.
We are wrapping up the summer semester with the badges pilot, and Purdue Passport incorporates assessment within earning a badge. Typically, a badge is given after a skill has been achieved, where assessment is more evaluative and judgmental rather than to provide feedback for improvement. This clashes with how I would prefer to teach and use the badges, so I've been using the feedback/assessment mechanism in Passport differently than it might be intended.
This is good because I think students are getting more out of the class, but also poses some conflicts:
- If badges being awarded are not based on more rigid judgement of skill acquisition, how valuable are they?
- On this note, how interoperable are they? Can their qualities be translated or compared to other institutions or libraries offering similar badges if desired evidence isn't as clearly enforced?
Because this is a credit class, grades need to be tied to student work. For this, the badges are essentially pass/fail. You either earn the badge or you don't. If a student is late in finishing badge work an exception is made to give them half off, but this is the only partial credit awarded. There are pros and cons to this as well:
Pros: Students can take risks in their responses and have less fear of failure (this positive aspect is rooted in game mechanics); I can focus more on the quality of my feedback rather than what level of good or bad the student's work falls into
Cons: How is good student work differentiated from bad work? Particularly if bad work is due to sloppiness or disinterest. Shouldn't a student who submitted excellent work (or evidence) for a badge be awarded the badge, where less stellar work would not be awarded the badge? Isn't the purpose of awarding badges to demonstrate that a skill was successfully acquired?
I have such mixed feelings on this. But one feature of Passport is to allow students a re-do. I use this often for sloppy work. I will leave feedback explaining exactly what I'm looking for and give the student a second chance (next semester I will be sharing specific rubrics for each badge with students so they have an even better concept of what level of understanding is desired).
I am not a stickler on lower-level concepts like formatting a citation perfectly or memorizing exact steps on how to find an article when you only have a citation (these are specific assessments in the class to address more basic skills within learning outcomes). If a student has most of a citation right but forgets to italicize the journal title for MLA style, it's really just busy work for them to make them re-do it or for me to take points off. I leave feedback letting them know they mostly got it and to remember to double check these things for formal papers; and then I give them all the points. I love Barbara Fister's 2013 LOEX Keynote (in fact, my team read it as part of our strategic planning for the new fiscal year). I agree so strongly with her whole presentation, and using a specific example here, "very rarely outside of school are citations needed." I care way more about if students are able to understand what the purpose of a citation is and to incorporate this into their new understanding of "research as conversation" than about styles and how to format.
One assigned article that has been part of this class for a long time is a CQ Researcher article on cheating: why students cheat and how they cheat. It's interesting to see what students agree with in their reflections and a number do say that when a student doesn't feel course material has real application in their lives (or when an instructor provides little to no meaningful feedback), a student has no motivation or investment to put in quality work, and so cheating is easy. Focusing less on grades and more on understanding and a conversation between the students and us as instructors creates a richer experience for all. Their reflections resonate well with what we're doing in the course to make it apply to their lives, to attain better work from them, and in turn to provide more meaningful, continuous feedback. This also allows for continuous improvement on our end; the crux of assessment.

I get asked a lot about what exactly does a clinical exercise specialist do. I thought it would be fun to do a "day in the life" (and a What I Ate Wednesday) for me when I go to my second job (first job is Mama). I work at a hospital Monday, Wednesday and Friday in Cardiac Rehabilitation. This is a typical Monday for us.
I wake up naturally at a very early hour. Actually it's 10 minutes earlier than usual. I quietly get dressed for a run, put my contacts in and brush my teeth. While I check my email, Facebook and blog, I do a dynamic warmup. Multitasking at it's best.
I do an easy 4 miler, stretch a little afterwards and then hop in the shower. Thankfully the kids are still sleeping so Ron and I can both get ready for work with a little less chaos.
Kids are up! Ron gets them dressed while I continue to get myself dressed, make their breakfast and mine all at the same time. They come downstairs and I'll eat breakfast with the kids. Today it's Overnight Quinoa Oatmeal. Just need to heat it up and add toppings.
Hugs and kisses around as Ron leaves for work and we finish breakfast.
Once breakfast is done it's a mad dash to get out the door before 7. I linger a little longer at drop off today since its the kids first full day in a new room – the BIG KIDS room. Settled and happily playing, I dish out hugs and kisses and I'm out the door to work.
7:30 -9:00 I'm at work. Catch up with my coworkers, find out if there are any new patients starting today and get the telemetry monitors ready for the first monitored class. From 8-9 I supervise an exercise class of patients who have not had a recent event like CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting), MI (myocardial infarction) or stenting. I lead a strength training session for a small group of patients while others workout on various pieces of cardio equipment (treadmill, bikes, elliptical, Nu-step, Rowers) partway through the class. At the end of class, I lead a cool down stretching session for all.
9:00-10:00 Phase II Outpatient class comes in. These are the patients who have had a recent event and are at various stages of recovery. There is a new patient starting today who is 5 weeks post CABG surgery. I hook him up to the telemetry monitor and get him started on the new patient paperwork. While he works on that, I help take the other patients initial blood pressures. In the meantime, the new patient completed his paperwork so I take his vital signs (blood pressure, HR, Oxygen Saturation) and explain the Six Minute Walk Test. When the walk test is completed, I do an orientation to the exercise equipment and the gym and discuss his exercise prescription. When the hour is up, I lead the class in a cool down stretch.
10:00-10:30 Short break between classes so I grab a snack (homemade dill pickles from a patient – yum! and unpictured Larabar) and stretch/browse Instagram.
10:30-11:30 Another Phase II Outpatient class. During this class I am at the telemetry desk inputting patient data and watching everyone's EKG for abnormalities. Class went by fast with no problems! Always a good thing.
11:30-12:30 I head to my desk to catch up on paperwork, charts and planning education for the patients.
12:30-1:00 LUNCH!! My coworkers and I head outside to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air.
1:00-2:00 Another supervised exercise class arrives. I help take everyone's resting blood pressures before sitting at my desk again for more paperwork.
2:00-3:00 Last Phase II Outpatient class of the day. More blood pressures, inputting patients workloads into handheld PDA as they change equipment. I start two patients on a strength training routine now that they are 8 weeks post surgery.
3:00-4:00 Last class of the day! More resting blood pressures at the beginning of class. I then enter patient charges for the day and catch up on more paperwork while supervising the class. Near the end of class, we do a round of resistance band exercises for the whole body followed by a cool down/stretch.
After the last class of the day leaves, I put equipment away for the night and am ready to leave to pick up the kids from school.
The kids had a great first day in their new classroom. We chat about the day on the ride home and discuss what to have for dinner.
5:15-7:30 is a blur of dinner prep, eating, clean up, bath time and then finally up to bed for a story or two.
Ron usually comes home at some point during that whole blur. Once the kids are in bed, I respond to blog comments, emails and scroll through Facebook. By 8:30, I join Ron in the living room and talk about our day as I do core work and my physical therapy exercises. And because I've been up since zero dark thirty, I'm in bed at 9:30, zonked out.
There you have it – exciting stuff, huh? I should follow up with a typical "day in the life" of my other job – home with the kids. Which would be more thrilling? 🙂

I use pretty often emacs-w3m to read technical HTML docs within Emacs. When you're programming, reading manuals, blogs or tutorials without leaving your operating system editor is all but convenient.
Actually, emacs-w3m does a very, very good job rendering even moderately complex sites, and i've been known to use it as my default browser. It is not limited to plain text (Emacs groks images these days), has tabs (shameless plug: take a look at my w3m-session package to add session management) and renders tables and other HTML constructs nicely. And of course, navigating sites like the Emacs wiki without leaving Emacs is just the way to go. Besides, if you don't like how a page looks in emacs-w3m, opening it in your graphical browser is just a keystroke away (C-h w w3m-view-url-with-external-browser to discover it).
But wait, this is not your regular browser. We're inside Emacs, and in here, when we need something, we usually just hack it and keep on working. After all, what we need to do is quite simple: look for occurrences of '[ ]' in the buffer, click them, and leave the pointer over the 'Delete forever' button, ready to send all our spam where it deserves. As it happens, our life is even easier thanks to the functions provided by emacs-w3m. w3m-form-goto-next-field allows easy navigation inside a form, and w3m-view-this-url will perform a click for us. So here we go: let's write an Elisp command that looks for unmarked checkboxes and clicks them:
(defun jao-w3m-gmail-mark-all () (interactive) (beginning-of-buffer) (when (search-forward "[ ]" nil t) (backward-char 4) (w3m-form-goto-next-field) (while (looking-at " \\\\]") (w3m-view-this-url) (w3m-form-goto-next-field))))
That's it. After evaluating this definition, we just M-x jao-w3m-gmail-mark-all to mark all our mails. Of course, a keyboard shortcut will come in handy:
(define-key w3m-mode-map (kbd "C-ck") 'jao-w3m-gmail-mark-all)
and now we only need to press C-ck to get the job done. While we're at it, it would be nice if typing a prefix would unmark mails instead of marking it, wouldn't it? Well, that only needs a few tweaks in our original definition:
(defun jao-w3m-gmail-mark-all (unmark) (interactive "P") (beginning-of-buffer) (when (search-forward (if unmark "[*]" "[ ]") nil t) (backward-char 4) (w3m-form-goto-next-field) (while (looking-at (if unmark "\\\\*\\\\]" " \\\\]")) (w3m-view-this-url) (w3m-form-goto-next-field))))
Now, C-ck will mark, and C-uC-ck will unmark.
As you can see, the limit is just your imagination. For instance, when i'm reading non-spam, i usually mark some mails for deletion. Then i need to go to the 'More actions…' menu, select the 'Delete' operation and press 'Go'. Hmm, a bit of a chore. Elisp to the rescue:
(defun jao-w3m-gmail-delete () (interactive) (beginning-of-buffer) (when (search-forward "[More Actions" nil t) (w3m-view-this-url) (search-forward "Trash") (beginning-of-line) (w3m-form-input-select-set) (w3m-form-goto-next-field)))
Admittedly, these little extensions are far from earth-shattering, but i think that they illustrate quite well what having an extensible system means. You control your environment and adapt it to your particular needs, often building upon functionality provided either by the system or by some other extension library. Another nice example of extensibility at work is my w3m-session package: i wanted persistent sessions, so i wrote an extension. And it was easy, thanks to the nice work of the emacs-w3m hackers and, let's not forget, the dynamic nature of Elisp.
In addition, the programmer in me finds tweaks like this a continuous source of fun. You know, that fuzzy warm feeling… but i digress. Happy hacking!
