Schuyler is my weird and wonderful monster-slayer. Together we have many adventures.
November 15, 2007
New Nomads
Incidentally, the article features what may be my favorite photo of Schuyler and me. It takes a confident man to wear fairy wings. I think I make it work.
Edited to add: If you wonder why I almost never talk about politics anymore, go look at the comments being left on that article. Jesus Howard Christ...

Great article. I have co-workers that live in Plano primarily for their great school system. Good to know that it extends beyond just a good football team.
- Mr. Smarterthanyou said...
So are you realizing that maybe "dirty hippy" politics create bad schools, bad neighborhoods (Democrats have dominated Detroit for decades)and uncaring (for all the talk) neighbors.
Or are you going to PTA meetings, rallies, protests, trying to force your liberalism on the same conservatives that created the place that is best for you and your daughter? Are you going to vote in lock-step with the teachers unions that dominate the school districts that you found to be unsuitable? Will you vote for the PC horse crap that turns special ed programs into "lawsuit avoidance" programs?
I suspect that my comment is just a little too close to home to make it to your blog, but I hope that you and your liberal friends think about it. - 9:57 AM

Considering that we're in the middle of our own move from the land of tree-hugging hippie liberals to Richardson, TX, this was pretty cool to read. Very glad to hear that even in Plano you've managed to find your niche.... I think we'll do just fine. By golly. :)
- Rob said...
I just want to point out two things.
1) The last time I have either deleted or failed to approve a comment was about a year and a half ago, and that was because the person was anonymously posting a physical threat against my child. Like any other blogger, I reserve the right to filter the assmonkeys if I choose. However, I almost never do.
2) When I go over you the blog of a commenter and read the following...
"Sorry to the tiny percent of muslims that are not barbaric scum, but the fact that this crap is not uncommon in your world is evidence to me that you are not compatable with us, we cannot live side by side, and there is no way in hell we can live with you."
...well, I have to say, the first potential username that comes to mind isn't necessarily "mr. smarterthanyou".
It was a nice break from "anonymous", though. I will grant you that. - 11:43 AM

Why the comment about children with Down syndrome and autism? I get the feeling, from the post, that you believe these children to be "all of a kind," and a kind that requires more care than a child like Schuyler? Hasn't your years as a nontypical parent shown you that each child is unique?
As mom to a son with Down syndrome, I really felt let down by this part of your post. I don't know why we need to make these sorts of distinctions...couldn't you have just said "children with vastly different diagnoses" and left it at that? - 12:00 PM
- Rob said...
I can see your point, Jennifer, but I don't agree. It wasn't intended as a slight, and I don't believe it reads like one. In fact, I believe that far from painting special needs kids as "all of a kind", I think I was saying the exact opposite.
The point I was making, and I believe it is a valid one, is that both in general and specifically in this case, children with severe autism and Down syndrome often require a level of immediate attention and protection that makes the "everyone together in one big classroom of broken children" unworkable. If my experience with general special needs education is atypical, then I do apologize.
I'm not sure what to say about those specific examples rather than the more generic terminology you'd prefer. I was citing real-world examples. Could I have softened my language? Of course. But to do so would suggest that I was somehow denigrating students who suffer from autism or Down syndrome, and I was not. Were I the parents of one of those children, I would be equally disheartened by the warehouse approach that was being applied to special needs students.
I'm not sure what else to say, other than I recognize that our particular circumstances color our perceptions. When you, as the mother of a child with Down syndrome, read those words coming from a parent of a child without Down syndrome, red lights go off. I understand that; I have the same red lights.
To be perfectly honest, I see the same red lights when I read almost exclusively about special needs moms in your writing, as if fathers are either nonexistent or at the very best secondary to the mothers. That has bothered me for a long time, but I have accepted that it's not a matter of priority or judgment, but rather perspective. I hope you'll recognize that in my own choices of words and identifiers, the same might be true. - 12:20 PM
- jennifergg said...
Rob, we agree to disagree, then. I still feel as if you have not addressed the wide ranges of abilites in children with Down syndrome or austism; many of them are actually in mainstream classrooms. But that may be a discussion best left for another time.
I'm sorry, genuninely so, that you feel excluded from my posts about motherhood. When writing about opportunities for parents, I've gone back in and changed the language to include dads, too. You should stop by, I think you'll see I made those changes almost instantly after you mentioned them.
Thanks for letting me say my peace. I didn't feel as if a red light went off: rather, as if an opportunity for education had been missed. - 12:37 PM
- Rob said...
I'm sure that the coming year is going to afford me a lot of opportunities to better educate myself about a wider range of special needs issues. I hope my writing and my perspective benefits from that exposure. Thanks for taking the time to point that out.
- Hetha said...
My husband and I are woefully disappointed with the lack of services for our toddler in this small community. When school time comes around I have a feeling we'll be leading the nomadic life you describe here so well. I am glad to hear that you and Julie have found happiness in Plano. You at least deserve that much.
Dear Mr Smarterthanyou:
You're not. - 1:16 PM
- kim said...
Dear Mr. Smarterthanyou:
You DO know that it's possible to be conservative without being an asshole, right?
My dad is able to manage it. That's why he and I get along just fine, and I'm one of those dirty liberals you're talking about (oh, that's another thing, he never uses the word "dirty" when talking about my politics; see, respect goes a long way). - 2:59 PM
- Debbie said...
Rob, I have to admit that your pointing fingers at certain populations within Schyler's class in Connecticut set off red flags for me as well. "Schuyler spent most of her days in a special education class, quietly seated off to the side while the teachers and their assistants spent all their time and energy taking care of children with severe autism and Down syndrome. It was understandable; many of these students would injure themselves or others if they weren't supervised this way." My son has down syndrome, and I'm not aware of any literature or evidence that supports a claim that children with down syndrome are more prone to self injury or dangerous behavior than any other group of children. I cannot argue with Shuyler's experiences - perhaps in her class there were some students with exceptional needs or other issues in addition to down syndrome that made them dangerous, and required unusual levels of supervision - but that is not typical, in my experience. In truth, as you allude to in other places in your article, the problem is not the fault of the children - whatever their diagnosis - demanding all the time and energy of their teachers...it is the fault of a system that does not provide enough support for special educators. You are correct in your reply to another poster - each of us comes from a different perspective and has different things that raise our parenting hackles. I have no doubt that you did not intend to single out children with autism or down syndrome as the reason that the special education system in CT (such that it is)failed Schuyler - but that's what it sounded like to me. Hence, this commment, my first to you. Which is kind of unfair; to comment only to kvetch at you when I could have written any number of other times when your writing and images were so spot on and beautiful.
And, oh yes, the wings do suit you.
Debbie - 4:46 PM
Rob, what kind of a site is that????
- Amnesia said...
I loved the article. And it is nice to hear that we plano-ites are not all bad ;)
- Rob said...
Rob, what kind of a site is that????
I have two answers to that question.
1) Apparently, quite a conservative one. (I'm finding this out the hard way.)
2) One that pays. I'll let right wing zealots yell at me for money. - 7:42 PM
- Tay said...
Man, you're really getting reamed for never...actually insulting conservatives at all!
I liked the article a lot, and I left a comment over there too. - 7:46 PM
- Mr. Smarterthanyou said...
I used words that Rob used, so rather than the insult being to me, it is to you for commenting w/out knowing what the heck you are talking about. Perhaps you have a learning disability yourself? But then you liberals don't seem to blush easily.
Rob, can you answer to my actual question of are you actually smart enough to question how your brand of liberalism has FAILED to generate the kind of schools/neighbors that you want your kid exposed to?
I think your ad-hominim attack vs. answering my question just shows that you are a parasite in your community (taking, but only giving back the liberalism that they don't want). - 8:19 PM
- Mr. Smarterthanyou said...
"Right wing Zealots"???
I guess that is my answer. Parasite all the way. - 8:22 PM
- Rob said...
Wow, I'm a parasite. Awesome. I will let the rest of you decide whether or not I should feel wounded by such a judgment, coming from someone who has stated the following on his blog:
"Muslims make pigs look civilized and clean"
"If I were the president, I would put you (Muslims) all out of our collictive misery. For the innocent victims: Sorry, but at least you would have the comfort of knowing that there would be no more girls born into your fucked up, barbaric, shitty assed world."
"If those cowardly, disgraceful limeys (The British servicemen taken hostage by the Iranians a few months ago) don't kill themselves out of shame, they have none. I think the biggest balls in Britain are 6 feet under, between the deceased Maggie Thatcher's legs."
(Raise your hand if you think Margaret Thatcher is dead.)
And finally:
"Wow, this helps explain some of the idiocies of modern Jews."
None of this is to say that I in any way want you to stop commenting. Just the opposite. I love that you're here, and I mean that. Just don't be upset if I continue to take every single word you post as an absolute joke. And I mean that in the most non-partisan way possible. I'm just glad you're not on my side.
And if you're really waiting for an answer to your passive-aggressive question, the answer is no. - 8:36 PM
I'm not sure why it was "bad" of Rob to mention that there were severely disabled autistic and Down's Syndrome children in Schuyler's classroom. And apparently, they DID require more care than Schuyler. Why is it so offensive that he pointed it out? She was obviously lumped into a classroom that had too large a spectrum of needs to adequately cope with any of those children. He's pointing out a deficiency in the classrom, not a deficiency in the children themselves.
- Joshua said...
deleted comments ...um what about me...
- kim said...
Mr. Smarterthanyou:
Hmm. I guess all I'll say at this juncture is "you just try to have a nice life, now." - 6:50 AM
- Liana said...
It amazes me how people read more in your words than you actually wrote. You never insulted conservatives. You never made disparaging remarks about children with autism or down syndrome. You wrote honestly about yourself and your experiences.
In the comments on this blog and on the article, people jumped on their soapboxes about their own issues, whether or not you wrote in the way they were protesting.
How annoying.
Rob, I liked your article - a story of parents moving to a community/climate that doesn't necessarily suit them for the sake of their child...and being pleasantly surprised themselves. I don't see anything wrong with that at all. :) - 6:51 AM
- electricboogaloo said...
I - wow. Holy damn. I've seen you when you're being cranky and poking at people with sticks and honestly, that article? Offensive? Really? I don't get it.
I was raised by hippies in Richardson, back when Richardson was Plano and Plano was empty fields. So maybe it's because I know the area and I know what you mean about living somewhere that's not quite your town. - 1:57 PM
- Mr. Smarterthanyou said...
Taking unrelated quotes out of context to avoid answering serious questions, well, I would say you are unreformed.
Unless you think my comments on Islamic atrocities and jewish "Jewicide" are pertenent to why you and your liberal buddies have completely failed to provide the social safety net for kids like your daughter that you have been taxing us to death to pay for. - 9:23 PM
- Susan said...
Don't you find it funny how you write a heartfelt article about you and your life and EVERYBODY has to make it all about them and their causes?
Seems to me that somehow you're just a magnet for controversy.
Any way, just thought I'd let you know I liked your article, and if I lived in the Plano area, I wouldn't mind if all of my tax dollars went to Schuyler's education (I have no children and don't intend to, AND I'm a dirty leftist hippy, yet somehow I'm still contributing to the public education system. I thought being liberal make me exempt from being a contributing member of society.) - 1:45 AM
- jas said...
I know I'm late to this party, but if you'd done any research on PajamasMedia prior to deciding to post there, you'd likely never have followed through. The sites they tend to associate with are notorious hives of scum and villainy, and not of the heart-of-gold Han Solo variety.
I'm not remotely surprised that your POV generated such heated hatred. In their eyes, you're just another DFH bleeding heart, is my guess. - 10:43 PM

The restored Aldie Mill, an imposing four-story brick structure with tandem metal waterwheels, offers visitors and students a glimpse of how life was lived in the rural South during a time when the Mill served as a vital center of the community.
The twin overshot waterwheels were restored in October 2010 with grant assistance from the Loudoun Preservation Society, and grinding demonstrations have resumed.
Gristmills once dotted the landscape of Virginia and rural America, but most of them have now vanished or stand abandoned as silent witnesses of the past. At Aldie Mill the unique heritage of water-powered gristmills is remembered and preserved.
Aldie Mill also boasts a Civil War historical site.

We are having server issues, and as many of you noticed, one of the results is that we're getting creamed by spam bots. As a result, I am advocating the immediate deletion of ANY new account with a link. This won't get all of them, but a lot, and it will make it easier on CQ and I to not have to look at each link.
This means if you're a new member and not a spammer, but you put a link in your profile, you will be deleted!!!!! And since all new members are expected to read the important material in this area first, I have no sympathy for you if that happens.
Once you've been here for a while, and have made a few posts (say 10ish), you'll be safe and you can add a link to your profile. But when I go into the administrative panel and see an account with no posts and a link, it's toast.

This information is intended to help maintenance workers do their jobs more effectively (for example, determining which machines require maintenance and which storerooms contain the spare parts they need) and to help management make informed decisions (for example, calculating the cost of machine breakdown repair versus preventive maintenance for each machine, possibly leading to better allocation of resources). CMMS data may also be used to verify regulatory compliance. CMMS packages can produce status reports and documents giving details or summaries of maintenance activities and trends. A CMMS is a vital component of an Enterprise Asset Management system as it helps you optimize your maintenance resources and improve your return on assets. |

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
Lance Armstrong is stepping down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity to it can focus on its mission instead of its founder's problems.
Armstrong's announcement came minutes before Nike Inc., announced it is terminating its personal contract with him.
Nike said it a statement that Armstrong had "misled" the company for a decade about doping. The company said it would continue to support Armstrong's foundation.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a massive report last week detailing allegations of widespread doping by Armstrong and his teams when he won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005.

Weighing fish by measuring them helps minimize any potential harm to the fish.
Although there is no doubt that fish can have different weights for the same length dependent on several factors – whether they are gravid, post spawning, sick or healthy, have good access to food-stocks etc., weight estimation based on a fish's length offers a credible alternative.

- Hands soaked in blood, London knifeman declares his creed on video
By Peter Griffiths and Estelle Shirbon LONDON (Reuters) - A young man with bloodied hands holds a knife and a meat cleaver soaked in blood as he faces the camera to say he has just killed a soldier on a London street in retaliation for the deaths of Muslims killed by British troops in faraway lands. As the man speaks, a woman in a blue skirt pulls a shopping cart down the pavement towards him, glances briefly in the direction of a corpse lying in the road, and walks right past the man, apparently oblivious to the bloody weapons in his hand. ...

- For each wrap: lay 1 (8-inch) whole-grain flour tortilla on cutting board. Top with the following ingredients in the center – 2-3 baby spinach leaves, 1-2 small tomato slices, sliced mushrooms, red pepper strips or roasted red pepper strips, 1 Tbsp. fat-free feta cheese crumbles, drizzle of olive oil, and finally sprinkle with black pepper, dried basil leaves and dried rosemary.
- Roll up and then wrap the edges under the roll. Place on microwave plate and microwave for 20 seconds on HIGH. If making several rolls, place in pan and bake at 325 degrees for a few minutes to slightly steam the vegetables and melt the cheese. Serve warm.

Politics and Popcorn: Watch Debate at Patch's Viewing Party
Be part of a discussion surrounding the first debate between President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney. This is a free event, but space is limited.
You don't want to watch Wednesday night's presidential debate alone, do you?
Then join Patch readers of both parties Wednesday night at a special debate viewing party at the Rosebud Cinema in Wauwatosa.
Whether you support President Barack Obama or challenger Mitt Romney, you're invited to this free party to watch the debate on the theater's big screen and then share your views on how the candidates addressed the issues you care about.
A limited number of spaces are available public for the event. You can RSVP by using the form on this page or emailing email@example.com to hold a spot.
We're seeking Democrats and Republicans, undecided voters, small business owners, civic-minded citizens and those interested in the political process to participate in a civil but spirited discussion afterward.
The event begins at 7:30 p.m. with networking and trivia, and the Rosebud's kitchen will be open. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are scheduled to debate between 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., and afterward Patch editors will talk with groups of attendees regarding their impression of the debate. The theater is located at 6823 W. North Ave. in Wauwatosa.
We'll also have Patch goodies for everyone — and there will be a drawing for a door prize when the party wraps up.

Normally, I would love to attend this event. But I am attending the Debate Watching Party at the GOP Victory Center at 1701 Pearl St. and Hwy 164 on Waukesha's eastside. Snacks and beverages will be provided. Watch ALL the debates on the "REALLY Big Screen".

I wonder how little the Obama campaign is paying, if anything, for those political ads that play every time we come to the Patch.
10:20 am on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
I wondered the same thing. Only I hear the Romney ads. How about that. I too wonder how little the Romney campaign is paying, if anything. Wake up and smell the coffee. Did you really only think it was only the Obama campaign. Don't you watch TV. Ad after ad, flips from one party to the other. Same applies here.

Asked by police to describe what had happened, the victim stated that she got off work on West McIntosh Road at about 10 p.m. that night. When she couldn't find a ride home, she began walking home. At about 11 p.m., as she was walking on West Cherry Street and North Eighth Street, talking to her mother on the phone, she noticed two black males standing in the roadway, hollering at her to get her attention. The victim said that she ignored the males and continued walking along West Cherry Street.
According to a GPD incident report, two black males then approached her from behind as she was walking on the sidewalk in front of Rising Star Baptist Church. The victim stated that the males grabbed her from behind, though she was able to break loose from them, running all the way home from thereon.
The males reportedly snatched her work apron, which contained $80.
One of the suspects was described as dark-skinned, approximately 28 to 30 years of age, about 6 feet tall, heavyset, bald-headed with a full beard and wearing blue jeans. The other suspect was described as light-skinned, about 19 to 21 years of age, about 6 feet tall, slim-built, and wearing blue jeans, a black jacket and Air Jordan tennis shoes.
Police officers searched the area of West Cherry Street and North Eighth Street several times throughout the night but could not locate anyone in the area. The incident is still being investigated.
In another incident, police assisted a 35-year-old female who came to police headquarters on Poplar Street Tuesday at about 5:45 p.m. to file an indecent exposure report.
According to a GPD incident report, the female stated that her 71-year-old co-worker exposed his genitals to her while at work. The female further stated that her co-worker had been injured in the groin while on the job and was out on worker's compensation. When he came in to the workplace after his surgery to turn in paperwork, he unbuttoned his pants while the female was looking over his paperwork to expose his testicles to her.
Although no one else was in the room at the time of the incident, the female told police that she felt a report should be made. Police officers did a report on the incident and said they would follow up on the situation, as the case remains an open investigation.

There's no way to refund it without refunding everybody else which obviously isn't fair to those that won, all we can do is tick the winning outcomes and select 'settle bets'. I can only refund rep by abandoning the event entirely and all stakes on every market are returned, even losing ones.
One of the admin would have to manually add the rep you bet to your account, me and @Sean can't do it.

Examination Information
Applicants applying for examination must pass both the computerized National Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) and the written State Law and Ethics Examination. The State examination is administered separately from the computerized EPPP examination.
In Alaska, the EPPP is administered via computer in Anchorage; however, applicants may sit at any Prometric Test Center within the United States, U.S. territories, or Canada. Upon application approval by the Board, applicants will receive further instructions regarding administration and scheduling of the national examination.

Upon application approval by the Board, applicants can contact Division staff to receive a study packet for the State Law and Ethics Examination. Please inform staff where you would like to sit for the State Law and Ethics Examination and on which scheduled date.

Rat Rambling Randomly and Ruggedly...
I have taken to half an hour Morning walk daily... yesterday, thank to rain god, it was raining all night... so you could imagine the many miniature pools sprouted all over... i was dodging them today as i was walking towards my bus-stop.. at a certain point, i walked under a tree... a passing bus grazed the tree and i was showered with flowers, leaves and mainly rain water.... i stood there for a moment enjoying the feeling.. it was as if i as being welcomed... it was a moment of bliss... it justified my early mornings, crowded Metro train, and tiring day at work!
And i can sense History being repeated... Last time i was in chennai, Bird flu was making a heavy hue and cry, making my Mom frantic... she asked me to avoid eating chicken which i thoughtfully chose to forget... but Bird flu escaped me... yesterday again she called me more frantically worried about swine flu... i started joking about flying pigs and avoiding Ham, but somehow her tome made me stop.. she was really serious this time :-(
Today people at work were real serious and were circulating pamphlets/emails about Swine Flu... the symptoms it seems include continuous cold, cough, severe body pain, fever, Fatigue, Lack of appetite, sort throat and Diarrhoea. Symptoms very similar to normal cold and flu... and even the diagnosis isn't fool proof... it seems they prescribe a antibiotic treatment for three days and anything could be said only after those 3 days.. frankly speaking this way, H1N1 can go undetected... like body pain, at the end of strenuous work who won't get body pain along with headache... and with some one like who has perennial cold and dry cough, seriously i wouldn't know... Lack of appetite, with me dieting to attain a minus 2 size, i don't even feel hungry for days together...
Let me get serious now! i have jotted down a few details regarding places treating Swine Flu in chennai and a couple of helplines...
Hospitals treating SF in Chennai: (click to get location details)
King's Hospital , Guindy
Centre for communicable diseases, Tondiarpet
Government Hospital, Opp. Central Railway Station.
Chennai Swine Flu helpline : 044 -2432 1569
Mumbai Swine Flu helpline : 022 -22029070
Kasturba Hospital : 022- 23083901
Let's be serious for a change and spread the word.. Lets try to avoid anymore causalities.

Hey Rat,
It is good to see that you continue to enjoy the good things in life.
IMHO swine flu is just another way to die, like the other billion ways.
More pedestrians are killed during their walk ;) [wink wink] than by swine flu.
See, it is futile to worry.
So be happy and keep smiling, just be the way you are. - August 12, 2009 at 6:01 PM

Battlefield 3 Online Pass Product Details
Released on TBD
Battlefield 3 may have only just gone on sale, but the president of Electronic Arts has confirmed that fourth game in the series is forthcoming.
Speaking as part of a keynote speech at the University of California, Frank Gibeau said here will be a Battlefield 4 His comments were swiftly Tweeted around the world by eager attendees. An EA spokesperson later clarified the comment for IGN, saying rank was speaking broadly about the Battlefield brand - a brand that EA is deeply passionate about and a fan community that EA is committed to./p>
Not that there was ever much doubt that the series would continue. Battlefield 3 is the fastest selling game in EA's long and illustrious history, shifting over five million copies in the weeks since its launch.
The questions now are whether this will be a true Battlefield sequel, or a continuation of the spin-off Bad Company series, and whether it will appear on the current generation of console hardware, or be designed for whatever Sony and Microsoft have up their sleeves.
Battlefield 3 is on sale now, for Xbox 360, PC and PS3.
Speaking to investors, Nintendo has offered its first confirmation that its new Wii U console will launch in all major markets - including the UK - for Christmas 2012. The console, first revealed at E3 last year, was already pencilled in for a 2012 release, but it was unclear if that only referred to Japan.
The console is an evolution of the existing Wii, with far more graphical power, HD graphics and an innovative new tablet controller which works together with the Wii remote. The console was shown off again at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month, and will be the centrepiece of Nintendo's presence at E3 in June.
As for software, a new Super Smash Bros game is known to be in development while Legend of Zelda has been used for some demonstrations. Exclusive Wii U versions of smash hits such as Batman: Arkham City, Ghost Recon, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed and Darksiders also feature in the console's confirmed line up.
So that's the Christmas shopping sorted nice and early then.
A new 'Matches' feature is coming to Battlefield 3, according to developers DICE, aiming to better organise and personalise multiplayer battles.
The new feature will allow players to choose the time, server, game settings and more when playing online. It'll increased personalisation for everything from start time, game mode and even the Match name, and allow you to create rosters from your list of friends and platoon members.
All of this is designed to allow players "to coordinate competitive multiplayer sessions with their friends and squad members", and "put their teamwork to the test in controlled environments laying claim to definitive superiority and creating new grudges". All results can be tracked in Battlelog afterwards, although a 'Warm-Up Phase' will be avaialble so you can practice before commiting your performance to record.
More details will be coming soon, but between this and Battlefield Premium, which launched last month, EA and DICE are clearly putting a lot into extending the lifespan of Battlefield 3 online.

Your perfect cup of Nespresso: precision in preparation
Nespresso has always been a leader in portioned coffee and the same is true of the environmental credentials of our machines. The benefit of a portioned coffee system is that it reduces waste by optimising the amount of coffee and water required to make the perfect coffee.
The LCA study conducted by Quantis found that depending on how our Club Members use their machine, a Nespresso coffee can have a lower impact than a conventionally made coffee. To find out more, read our interview with Yves Loerincik, CEO Quantis, here.
We have brought together a network of experts focused on designing ever more innovative, high-performing and greener machines for our Club Members. The network, which consists of a Nespresso R&D team, machine manufacturers, engineers and designers, aims to continually improving the energy consumption, carbon emissions and recyclability of each range of Nespresso machines. In the future, this network will also explore the use of recycled materials in our machines and even the development of a closed-loop system, in which all the materials used to produce the machines can be recycled into new products.
Since 2009, all new Nespresso machine ranges have all been equipped with an energy-saving mode, and from 2011, all our machines will have an automatic power-off function, as pioneered by today's Pixie models. Pixie, our newest machine, automatically switches off after nine minutes of inactivity, consuming 40% less energy than previous models.

Laboratory and diagnostic testing traditionally have not held a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with psychiatric disorders. This contrasts with the other specialties of modern medicine, which have come to rely heavily on laboratory and imaging modalities to provide the necessary information to diagnose and treat patients with disorders such as cancer, heart disease, and pulmonary problems.

Confessions of a dog blogger
It's not often that I share the personal frustrations of being a dog-blogger — especially one who tries to stand out from the crowd by keeping a lid on the pablum and fluff, and presenting from time to time some stories of depth about important dog-related issues.
Yesterday was a case in point.
I posted three items — about the daily average for ohmidog!
One was a mention of an upcoming motorcycle ride, sponsored by a motorcycle club and Baltimore's Anti-Animal Abuse Task Force, to raise money for abused and abandoned dogs.
One was a story about a day of global protest against eating dogs in South Korea.
One was an update on a story I wrote a few years back after meeting in Los Angeles a homeless man and his three legged pit bull (her fourth leg was lost as a result of a police shooting). Both have fallen ill and need help.
I was especially proud of the latter two, as they both contained some original reporting, and original photographs, and displayed a little first hand knowledge I had gathered, mostly during the year and a half I was working on my book.
Checking my Google Analytics, as I do from time to time, I saw this morning that the dog-eating post (of global significance) drew 116 views; the post on Michael and Topaz (of national significance) got 46 views; and the post on the fundraising motorcyle ride (of local significance) got 16 views.
What drew most readers to ohmidog! yesterday — 676 of them — was a post, nearly 50 days old, about Jennifer Aniston getting her dog Norman's name tatooed on her foot.
Thereby showing you the significance of celebrities. It blows my mind.
How people try to remember and memorialize their dogs is a legitimate story — and a large part of the book I wrote — and the fact that more people are going the tattoo route, as the New York Post reported this week, is worthy of note.
But let's face it, it was Jennifer Aniston that brought me those readers — and while I appreciate her, and those readers who dropped by, it bugs me that her foot tattoo so overshadowed two stories of deeper importance and deeper humanity. But, despite all that's in the bowl, they chose only that.
My little corner of the universe, or the Internet, serves it seems as a microcosm of what's happened to the news media, which, to survive, has caved in to the pressure to give readers easily consumable, barely newsworthy bits of what they want, rather than fully fleshed out stories on topics of greater importance to the species, be it human or dog.
Looking at my Analytics — and I think it's OK to share this proprietary information, given that I am the proprietor — a total of 435 pages and posts were viewed yesterday, 1,941 views in all.
The vast majority, though, were focused on Jennifer Aniston's foot.
For those consumed with numbers, and getting them to increase, and paying the bills, the thinking would reasonably follow: We need more Jennifer Aniston, more tattoos, more feet, or more of whoever or whatever else is, at this given moment, "trending."
Here's one of the things that has happened. News organizations, and bloggers, see what's "trending" and base their coverage on that, thereby making it "trend" even more, while items of higher significance — worth some digging up — fall unseen by the wayside.
Add to that the fact that those who write strictly for the Internet, often, are no longer writing for humans. Instead of writing for quality, instead of writing, even, for readers, they're writing for robots — those search engine Peruse-a-trons that scan our words, mathematically determine their import and influence how many readers come our way.
Add to that the fact that average online writer now spends more time touting what he has written via social networks and elsewhere than actually writing what he has written. Time once spent on research and the craft of writing is now mostly absorbed by shouting about and hyping what one has written, even if that "writing" was little more than a cut and paste job.
We'll even admit to doing some of that — what is now called "aggregating," what was once called plagiarism. We'll admit to touting stories we're proud of on Facebook and Twitter. We'll even admit to, once in a while, posting a story because we think it will draw a crowd.
Were ohmidog! a true money-making venture — which in some ways would make more sense than being poor and principled — we might follow the route that so many have, bringing you a steady diet of the cute, the happy, the adorable and the celebrity-related.
But, Jennifer Aniston aside, we plan to continue to vary our fare — presenting the cute, from time to time; the uplifting, as often as we can find it; but also the cruel and depraved acts of humans that lead to animal suffering.
If, in the three years we've existed (did I mention we've just turned 3?) and in the 3,000 posts we've posted, ohmidog! has shown anything, it is this: the depths to which humans can sink and the heights to which they can rise when it comes to dogs.
We're going to keep doing that.
And you can tattoo that on your foot.

Shop it on myLucky: Futuristic Nail Polish
I've never been a huge fan of sci-fi, but I am a fan of the genre's recent influence on fashion. Thanks to brands like Balenciaga and Peter Pilotto, the trend—in the form of metallic tops, holographic accessories and iridescent nail polish—has trickled down the fashion industry ladder and made its way to mass retailers. It's kind of exactly how people in the 1980s thought we would dress post-millennium.
Of course, Space Age-inspired ensembles may not be the most appropriate for your everyday life, but you can always wear the futuristic nail polish in the slideshow below.

Georgian Old Gentleman 100g Pouch
Customer Reviews (view all)
Average Rating 5
Martin Jordan, Rated: 5
I've come to love an old gentlemen
When I got a packet of this in my lucky dip I thought it was Georgian in the historical sense, not the geographical. My argument was weak but this tea is not. It's an amazingly rich and robust tea but what makes it great is its cleanliness. Anyone who's had cheap teabag tea will know what I mean when I say it tastes clean.
It's a tea for any time of day but you can steep it for longer if you need a morning kick but without the fear of bitterness or an aftertaste.
Get some! Who knew Georgia could make such great tea!

Toxins & Chemicals News
Toxins & Chemicals
Toxins and chemicals are a huge concern in the green movement due to their detriment to the environment.
