Lawren S. Harris
Canadian, 1885–1970
Clouds, Lake Superior, 1923
oil on canvas
102.5 x 127.6 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mr. and Mrs. John A. MacAulay, Q.C.
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
Lawren Harris was a major influence in Canada as a painter of landscapes, portraits, and later, abstract works. He was also a committed and articulate spokesman for both a spiritual and national dimension to art. As a member of the Group of Seven, Harris was interested in developing a quintessentially Canadian school of painting by confronting and depicting the majesty and power of the nation's wilderness. The WAG painting demonstrates Harris's interest, which developed in the 1920s, in the simplification of natural formations—clouds, islands, mountains, and trees—to raise awareness in a spiritual reality that he believed underlay the physical world. This spiritual reality is also manifested through colour. For Harris, blue signified intuition and feeling, and white was used to suggest purity.

I started blogging after reading my friend's personal/travel blog, I had no idea that is was essentially a little world with its own "celebrities", and that bloggers were so influential that you could find them in front row of catwalks. Blogging quickly became my new obsession, I liked the sense of community and the freedom of expression (which is a polar opposite to the writing I'm used to as a Psych student which is very objective and follows the strict guidelines of APA). So this post is dedicated to fashion bloggers about fashion bloggers, and written with bloggers in mind. Hope you learn from these fellow bloggers how to grow your own blog as they have theirs. Thank you to La Societe de Mode, Obsession Isnt Just a Perfume, Fashion Whore The Sydney Girl for taking part. Part One features The Sydney Girl and La Societe de Mode, I'll be posting the second and final part next week.
Sydney Girl: I love being creative with makeup, hair styling and what I wear. Blogging about it helps me express that creativity and share it with others. I also love my readers, and that has also kept me blogging.
La Society de Mode: We are so inspired by the world of fashion and blogging is a way to stay connected with it. We feel as though updating our blog is like writing in a journal; it's something you just gotta do for yourself.
How did you build your fellowship?
Sydney Girl: Mostly commenting back when someone comments on my blog. I think it is important for bloggers to develop a nice interaction with their readers.
La Societe de Mode: We commented on blogs and posts we genuinely liked and just hoped our blog would be good enough to attract readers
What do you think makes your fashion blog unique?
Sydney Girl: I try to add a particular freshness to it which gives it my own twist. I try to be creative and let the rest go from there.
La Societe de Mode: We think that our interviews make us unlike any other fashion blog out there. We're obessed with talking to other industry professionals and networking. Also, we're the only street style fashion blog of Rennes, France that we know of!
You have ads/sponsors on your blog, how did this come about? Also would you recommend monetising to other fashion bloggers?
Sydney Girl: Making money on a blog is really an individual thing. I think you need to establish why you have your blog. Is it to make money or is it share your passion for fashion with others? I think advertising and sponsors come handy when your blog has an extremely high volume of readers.
I don't have any ads or sponsors. Mainly bloggers and companies have approached me to swap links which helps promote my blog and theirs.

De Rossi will star in the upcoming modern-day Munsters reboot Mockingbird Lane, playing Lily Munster opposite Jerry O'Connell's Herman Munster.
Mockingbird Lane was recently the subject of a Star article which claimed that DeGeneres was "starting to freak" over the show's alleged production problems.
DeGeneres was said be to be urging wife de Rossi to leave the series before it ever airs.
A friend of the couple has now denied the validity of that report to Gossip Cop, describing the article as "complete BS".
"[Ellen] can't stop talking about how cool the show is," the insider insisted.
DeGeneres and de Rossi have not officially responded to the Star claims.
Mockingbird Lane is expected to premiere on NBC in 2013.

The new Dell Studio laptops look great! Taking the best design features from many other Dell products, and put them all into one.
This laptop actually looks like it should run Linux (that is the first thing I thought when I saw it). I don't know why I say that, but it just does. So, why not give it ago? I don't have a Studio, though I suspect it shouldn't take too much to get Ubuntu working (may need one or two drivers written, but from my experience with Dell laptops and Ubuntu, most things work well).
This is one of the products I would particularly like to see Ubuntu as an option to be pre-inatlled on if Ubuntu can't be an option on all models.
Status Update
Ubuntu is available on the Studio 15

joshhendo - check out Ubuntu on the Studio 15 here: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhsAug 15, 2008 Comment Link
How about a 12" without an optical drive, with Linux of course.Aug 7, 2008 Comment Link
That sure sounds like Microsoft.Aug 7, 2008 Comment Link
nannod: if i remember correctly microsoft spent a lot of time and money trying to get a law past in china making it illegal to sell a computer without windows. i don't think they succeeded, but it was close.Aug 6, 2008 Comment Link
I agree with bjrosen 100%, I don't know why we can't get a Dell without an operating system and install it ourselves. I wanted to get a Dell but will not pay for something I don't want or need. I was told by Dell customer support that they can't test them properly without an operating system installed, what a lame excuse to make us take Vista...or Windows anything. I don't know why they exclude the entire market of people who know enough to load what they wish on their laptop, or have operating systems already.Aug 5, 2008 Comment Link
The Studio 15 looks like a good choice and there should be no problems with Linux. As long as it's using Intel components for everything it's fully Linux compatible. The current selection of Linux laptops is terrible, they have slow processors and low resolution screens. I want a laptop with at least a T9300, a 320G drive, 1650x1050 or better 15.4: screen, 4G of RAM, and Intel WiFI. The Studio 15 has all of that. What I don't want is Windows of any sort, and especially not Vista. I don't care which version of Linux it comes with, just as long as it's not Windows.Aug 2, 2008 Comment Link
If and when this is available with Linux I would be interested in purchasing one. But I fail to see why this wasn't released with Ubuntu as the main OS instead of Windows Vista. Vista in any incarnation would choke this system. I fail to see why they are still pushing Vista, when in fact so many are dumping it.Jul 31, 2008 Comment Link
I fully agree and I suggest Ubuntu is offered in the Studio Hybrid PC. Dell Studio Hybrid + Mythbuntu + DVB-S/DVB-T USB stick = perfect HTPC. Heck, offer Ubuntu as an option in every Dell computer!Jul 31, 2008 Comment Link
Yes, to my disappointment linux support was lacking for my wifi card was not supported, and I can almost bet my money on the fact that other peripherals are supported either. This is a must for me. Don't tie people to vista, which is knon to have a lot of problems! +1 on this!

Woodlawn High School was on lockdown Thursday as a result of an incident that happened before school started. Birmingham City Schools Director of Communications, Michaelle Chapman, says a fight erupted between two boys. One of them pulled a gun. The student then put the gun in another student' backpack. When that student picked up the bag, she noticed that it was unusually heavy. The student took the back to a school resource officer, who searched it and found the gun. The gun is described as a .22 caliber handgun that had one bullet in the chamber. The students involved in the fight have been arrested by Birmingham Police. The students are suspended pending a hearing. Additional security is being provided at Woodlawn for the remainder of the day.

Lady Gaga is continuing to collaborate with fashion designer Thierry Mugler, this time acting as the Musical Director for the french designer's latest fashion show. At the Paris event, Gaga played a never-before heard track Cake Like Lady Gaga, which reads like a resume for Mother Monster's list of accomplishments.
The song is performed by an unknown male voice and almost sounds like something made by a first time rapper using their at home Pro Tools software. While Gaga claims the song isn't hers, she didn't seem to have an issue playing the track, which includes lines like "F** the world I'm Lady Gaga / Run the world like Lady Gaga / Private plane like Lady Gaga / Sip champagne like Lady Gaga/ Sold-out shows like Lady Gaga/ Big bankroll like Lady Gaga." Play songs about Lady Gaga like Lady Gaga.
You can listen to Cake Like Lady Gaga below. *This video contains language which some viewers may find offensive. Viewer and parental discretion is advised.*

"Ways to more quality assurance in the vocational education?" by Ulrich Wiethaup
(Wege zu mehr Qualitätssicherung in der beruflichen Bildung? von Ulrich Wiethaup, Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Schulewirtschaft)
This article contains the bullet points of a speech kept by Ulrich Wiethaup to quality assurance. The following three aspects are hereby taken into consideration:
- The starting point
- Quality management is school development
- Steps to more quality(assurance)
The starting point
The core elements of recent reforms are listed: responsibility of control, staff, finances, education and quality. As reform goals are mentioned: quality improvement through more own responsibility and concentration due to the development of school enrolment.
The state and tendency of the quality discussions is summarized in the points:
missing qualification for vocational training, standards of education and central final exams, internal evaluation, goal-oriented control and an introduction of an external evaluation through Federal institutes, quality agencies and school inspection.
The question is asked: what does quality mean in the vocational school? It is summarized in the points: Quality fields: tuition, staff, organization/management, equipment/building, learning success/results, and cooperation. The goal is stated as: the best development, education and vocational qualification for the students.
Quality management is school development
School quality is a question of the management. Under QM are listed: organization development (a culture of feedback, planning and control of internal processes), development of the education (the build-up of the learning processes, education methods) and development of staff (further education and team building)
The following criteria are listed for the quality of education: a clear structure of the education, a high degree of real learning time, a climate that supports learning, clear contents, good communication, diversity of methods/problem solving, individual promotion, intelligent training, transparency of expectations, a reference to the profession and independent learning.
Steps to more quality (assurance)
As steps to more quality are seen: Each school needs quality management and the internal and external evaluation should be connected.
The following individual points are mentioned for the general education.
The schools should be given more independency, the quality management develped, the occupational orientation improved, more support for students, design of schools in a more learn promoting way, full-time education should be developed, quality considered more and regional quality alliances created.
Concerning the vocational schools/companies/chambers the author sees the following points as important: to strengthen the vocational schools and the cooperation between them and the companies, promotion of students, to develop social pedagogic support, to further develop auditing and develop the access to college and university for vocationally qualified.
According to the author the teaching staff should have a better teacher-training and a binding further education for teachers should exist, as well should the working place vocational school be kept more attractive.

Note: Our level rating system is different than Hanayama's. Hanayama's goes from 1-6 and ours goes from 5-10. A masterpiece by metal smith Akio Yamamoto, the key word for this puzzle is 'love'. The two individually linked loops make this puzzle extremely challenging. The objective is to remove the masterfully united 'Adam' and 'Eve' loops from the metal plate crafted in the shape of the 'Forbidden Fruit'...and, if you succeed in putting them back together again, your love may just come to fruition. -Yamamoto 1991-

I also believe it was easier to take apart than assemble. You can always count on Hanayama for high quality puzzles, this is no exception. Recommended!
It seems as though these Cast Amour games and Puzzles are good and stimulating.Good effort was put into making or putting them together.
I agree with the other reviewers, it doesn't really deserve a Hanayama 5 rating. It took me about 15 minutes.
Nice, smooth operating puzzle. Probably a 7 to take apart and a 8 or 9 to put together.
I didn't find this as tough as other level 9's. It is harder to assemble than take apart. Very nice puzzle.

Karl Marx Never Bought Spanx
17 comments:
I love this article.
As a high-school socialist (and missionary in the former USSR), a college skeptical leftist, a Peace Corps volunteer in Russia, an aid worker, and finally a parent in the most socialist of all institutions: the US Army (a spouse), my opinions of capitalism and communism have changed throughout the years.
What do I teach my children?
I tell them that when we are kind to one another and trust one another, things work, and when we don't, things fall apart.
No system is a substitute for human kindness and virtue. - December 17, 2010 at 6:16 PM

Beautiful, well-written, and speaks of the hypocracy we all struggle with. I want justice, too. But damn I like my warm house/bed/life. We keep our house (too) cool in the winer (we live in Minnesota), and every time I get sick of being COLD in my own home, I go to the thermostat and then I pause. Even as I'm raising the temp, I feel guilty, sick to my stomach. As if going from 68 to 70 is really effecting ANYTHING. But then again, maybe it is?
It's hard, being born middle class in this country, never really being hungry or suffering any creature comfort a day in our lives to give up this life we know... And by ME giving it up, it doesn't insure that SHE (across the globe) will get MORE, ya know? It's so sad to think about, so overwhelming, so complex.
Anyway, again, great post Catherine. Thank you for speaking, for giving me a voice too. - December 19, 2010 at 2:34 PM
Catherine, I love your writing, and this piece particularly struck home for me. (Especially the part about being conflicted about admitting you send your kids to private school - don't get me started!) I share your sense of unease and hypocrisy with the easy comfort of my middle class American life. The only solution, if you can call it that, which I have come up with is to practice daily gratitude and try to improve the world no matter how inadequate my efforts seem.
- December 19, 2010 at 11:16 PM
What a great article! I wish you were my neighbor so we can talk about these exact same issues that trouble me as well.
- December 20, 2010 at 12:20 AM
I love what Anonymous said - "no system is a substitute for human kindness and virtue."
My main problem with socialism is that it doesn't make us better people if we only share because we are forced to. I want my kids to learn to help others because it it the right thing to do, not because the government has mandated it. - December 20, 2010 at 11:58 AM
Living in ex-communist (ie. East) Germany, we are confronted by the remnants of communism every day. It didn't work. The principle is great. The poor were really well cared-for (and long for the old times). But the country? Really run-down. Very many buildings, streets, street lighting, etc in woeful condition, even 20 years on. There was near-100% employment, but a world away from efficient - pointless jobs were invented to keep people busy. Low crime, due to oppressive (and expensive) over-policing. Absolute lack of intellectual or political freedom. The population was kept ignorant; you were only allowed to study if you could prove that your family were good party followers, or if not, at least that they themselves were NOT educated. University research was so restricted as to be irrelevant, students only taught what was considered politically appropriate. And the borders had to be closed, not to keep the capitalists out, but to stop the communist population from escaping.
So no, from here I would say - don't wish for or promote communism, utopic as it sounds! Charitable capitalism has got to be a better bet.
And private school - we are just having to make that choice. The local school is poor. The private one is good. Our son is bright but bilingual, he struggles sometimes with German. What do we owe to him? - December 20, 2010 at 4:30 PM

I LOVE this piece. Catherine Newman is a genius, as always. I've read most all of her work that I know about and it is always so right on!!

I am struggling with some of the same questions... it's so reassuring to read your thoughts on it. I think it's very hard to escape a certain amount of hypocrisy, or doubleness, because it's all so complicated, and we don't know enough, really. There is so much more I could say, but if I go on I'll never stop.

I love you, Catherine! Sometimes I feel like you've crawled into my brain. I wish I could just hand out copies of some of your essays instead of trying- and failing- to explain my heart to people yet again.
- December 24, 2010 at 10:17 PM
Angela's comment was very insightful.
A professor at a school tried an experiment. At the end of the first grading period, the class average was a high B. So he told the class that at the next grading period, he would give everyone the class average grade. No matter how they scored on their papers or tests, they would receive the class average as their grade. At the end of that grading period, the class average was a D.
Just more food for thought. - December 25, 2010 at 9:11 PM
Great article, Catherine. A little tangent: I'm really fascinated by the private-public school debate. Curious to know how one decides. Catherine, do you have more to share about this subject? We're in a really good district so I scratch my head why people spend 20k to send their kids to private. Then again I sometimes feel guilty living in such a nice, well-funded town while other cities (families) struggle. It would be interesting to know more; maybe subject for another essay?
- December 26, 2010 at 8:06 PM
But socialism is the middle ground and kids who grow up in those environments DO have different perspectives on life...such as the idea that healthcare is a right not a privilege...it's one reason I left the US and moved to a socialist country...to allow my child to develop different ideals. Ideals that the environment/culture DOES support. Now I don't have to fight the system.
- December 30, 2010 at 3:28 PM
catherine-- nice piece. we're in the same boat about private school. and the only conversation one has about the issue where i live is along the lines of "we want what's best for our kids".
i, on the other hand, never imagined that my children would go to private school and now that they are, my conflicts about the issue haven't dissipated one bit.
i'm always surprised that private school families seems to think that private schools are simply better and will produce a better person. it's so much more complicated than that and i was gratified to see you seem to be struggling with the same issue. - December 30, 2010 at 6:59 PM
i appreciate this article also. it is very difficult to try to live and practice a certain style of compassion in this world. My 4 year old was playing baby Jesus, with a doll on a pillow, and my husband asked "who was Jesus?" and she responded "the guy who died". it's hard not confuse Harry Potter, Merlin and Yahweh right now. we are about to decide whether we have the hutspa (sp?) to homeschool or if we need the structure and disipline of some school. when we interact with kids that have been in daycare or school of any kind, she usually learns something bad, how to lie, to use "i hate you" as a weapon, how to cover (stand up for the look out is a good lesson, sometimes) but it has put us more onto homeschool for the "institutional" education we don't want our 4 yr old to learn yet.

The defect of equality is that we only desire it with our superiors. - Henry Becque
If you transported the starving family or the Cuban family to an environment where they could have the choice to practice the socialist model or the "pinata" style of capitalism, you at best would find them wrestling with the same challenges you detail. My toddler instinctively wants more and more not just because I reinforce it but because he wants it.
A whole other topic is whether the world could sustainably support everyone attaining the same quality of life as first-world countries. Most articles I read on that topic say "no", even with technological advances. A major block is the fact that only a small percentage of the world's water is not salinated, and water is an essential ingredient to our quality of life. - January 11, 2011 at 10:39 PM
- Marabai said...
Yes! I struggle with living in a hyper-consumer based culture and raising children. I don't want my children to feel guilty for wanting things, and yet I feel strongly that material possessions should rank lower on the list than other humans, or the natural world for that matter. A few years ago I gave away my dryer b/c of all the electricity it used (and because my husband nagged me about it incessantly), and I still miss the convenience of drying the clothes quickly, and the soft warm feeling of the cotton. Growing up in this culture it is truly a process to transcend our yearning for conveniences and creature comforts, and I am not totally there yet. Yet, there must be a better, more equitable way to live. Thanks for your piece.
- February 9, 2011 at 3:04 PM
I am from the former USSR and will never return. From what I can see, welfare and many other programs are examples of socialism right here in the US and they don't appear to be sending the right message. The stream of people coming from my former eastern block region is still greater than those returning to all other regions combined. Why? Now that's answer you should probe rather than some upper middle class Utopian ideal.

Federal grant awarded to city of Bellevue
January 8, 2013 · Updated 1:19 PM
Bellevue City Council accepted a federal grant of $1.1 million to widen 120th Avenue Northeast from two lanes of traffic, to five. Additional improvements would include bike lanes and sidewalks between Northeast Eighth Street and 12th Street.
The grant, from the Surface Transportation Program, will cover a third of costs when coupled with an earlier grant of $3 million from the state Transportation Improvement Board. Construction on the $12.2 million project is likely to begin in 2014.
The project is part of an initiative in Bel-Red to allow for future growth.

The National Marine Sanctuary System regards the involvement of communities and the development of a stewardship ethic as vitally important to successfully conserve sanctuary resources. An important way to achieve this involvement is through the formation of a Sanctuary Advisory Council (Advisory Council). Advisory Council members serve as ambassadors between the Sanctuary staff and the various communities and users adjacent to its boundary. They actively engage their constituencies and work with the Sanctuary staff to resolve issues and concerns. As such, we are looking for highly motivated people who are able and willing to volunteer their time to help us reach out and work constructively with the diverse interests, users and communities that have a stake in the resources of the Sanctuary. Commitment/Expectations:
__________________ 1Alternates are encouraged to attend all Advisory Council meetings, and participate in discussions. However, alternates only have voting privileges when the primary representative cannot attend a meeting. |

HughesNet Satellite Internet: Amplify Your Internet Access
If your home is in an area where Internet access is limited, you don't have to settle for dial-up. Get an Internet connection that enriches your online experience with HughesNet satellite Internet.
HughesNet is America's #1 choice for satellite Internet service, and it didn't happen by accident. HughesNet is backed by Hughes, a leader in the satellite communications industry. Hughes believes that everyone should have the option to get great Internet service, which is why HughesNet is available throughout the lower 48 states.
HughesNet benefits beat dial-up
In rural areas, sometimes dial-up Internet service is the only alternative to having no Internet access at all. However, HughesNet is really the best option for residents who make their home in rural areas, for many reasons.
- An "always-on" connection. It's convenient and sometimes necessary to multitask. Dial-up uses your phone line to provide Internet access, so talking on the phone and getting online simultaneously isn't an option. HughesNet provides an "always-on" connection with satellite technology, so you can multitask easily.
- Convenient installation. When you order HughesNet, make an installation appointment that suits your schedule. A HughesNet-trained professional will set up your HughesNet system. When you're on the phone, ask your representative how to become eligible for free standard installation.†
- Coverage area. Cable and DSL companies often don't include rural regions in their coverage areas. HughesNet, on the other hand, is available to everyone in the contiguous United States with a clear view of the southern sky.
- Faster Internet. You don't just want to get online, you want to have a rapid connection. Dial-up speeds will have you waiting around for nearly 10 minutes just to download a 4mb song. HughesNet could have the same song ready to play in 16 seconds.
Great Internet service begins with a great company. Leave your Internet needs to Hughes, and you'll see why HughesNet is America's #1 choice for satellite Internet.
HughesNet Gen4: Plans and equipment
HughesNet Gen4 delivers speeds 15 times faster than before. Hughes also offers a variety of options to cover just about any family's typical Internet use:
- Service: HughesNet Gen4 comes in four plan options: Connect PRO, Power, Power PRO and Power MAX. Upload/download speeds and data allowance vary with each plan.
- Equipment: Purchase, or lease. Leasing may save you on upfront costs, and the purchase option is best if you'd rather own your equipment.
Budget and usage will weigh heaviest when you determine which plan fits best.
Want help? Call today and speak with a knowledgeable representative who can help you choose which options fit best.
What makes HughesNet plans special?
Every HughesNet plan comes with:
- Helpful technical support available 24/7.
- As many as five free email accounts for your family.
- Email defense to protect your private information (spam and virus filtering).
- 24-month limited equipment warranty for any unexpected mishaps.
HughesNet plans make it easy for you to get your online chores done quickly, so you have more time to have fun.
Pay your energy bill, then upload photos into a slideshow for your niece's surprise birthday party.
Finalize your business trip reservations, then download new music to listen to while you travel.
Update your portfolio, then look up movie times for date night.
Send an email to your boss, then start an email chain with your college friends.
Don't settle for dial-up service that will keep you waiting to accomplish simple tasks. Upgrade to faster Internet when you get HughesNet. Call today to learn more about free standard installation,† how satellite technology works and what your payment options are. There's never a shortage of what you can do online when you have HughesNet.

Sequences and series review
Sequences and series (part 2) Finding the sum of an infinite geometric series.
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Welcome back.
- So where we left off in the last video, I'd shown you
- this thing called the geometric series.
- And, you know, we could have some base a.
- It could be any number.
- It could be 1/2, it could be 10.
- But that's just-- but some number.
- And we keep taking it to increasing exponents, and we
- sum them up, and this is called a geometric series.
- And so I want to figure out the sum of a geometric series of,
- you know, when I have some base a, and I go up to some
- number a to the n.
- What-- is this a to the-- why did I write
- a to n minus 2 there?
- That should be a to the big N.
- My brain must have been malfunctioning in
- the previous video.
- That always happens when I start running out of time.
- But anyway.
- Let's go back to this.
- So I defined s as this geometric sum.
- Now I'm going to define another sum.
- And that sum I'm going to define as a times s.
- And that equals-- well, that's just going to be a times
- this exact sum, right?
- And that's the same a as this a, right?
- That a is the same as this a.
- So what's a times this whole thing?
- Well, it's the a times a to the zero is-- let me
- write it down for you.
- So this'll be a because I just distribute the a, right? a
- times a to the zero, plus a times a to the 1, plus a times
- a squared, plus all the way a times a to the n minus one,
- plus a times a to the n.
- I just took an a and I distributed it along
- this whole sum.
- But what is this equal to?
- Well, this is equal to a times a to the zero.
- That's a one-- a to the first power-- plus a squared, plus a
- cubed, plus a to the n, right?
- Because you just add the exponents, a to the n.
- Plus a to the n plus 1.
- So this is as.
- And we saw before that s is just our original sum.
- That is just a to the zero, plus a to the 1, plus a
- squared, plus up, up, up, up.
- All the way to plus a to the n, right?
- So let me ask you a question.
- What happens if I subtract this from that?
- What happens?
- If I say, as minus s.
- Well, I subtracted this from here, on the left hand side.
- What happens on the right hand side?
- Well, all of these become negative, right?
- Let me do it in a bold color.
- This becomes-- because I'm subtracting-- negative,
- negative, these are all negatives.
- Negative.
- Negative.
- Well, a to the first, minus a to the first.
- That crosses out. a squared minus a squared crosses
- out. a to the third, it'll all cross out.
- All the way up to a to the n, right?
- So what are we left with?
- We're just left with minus a to the zero, right?
- We're just left with that term.
- And we're just left with that term.
- Plus a to the n plus 1.
- And of course, what's a to the zero?
- That's just 1.
- So we have a times s minus s is equal to a to
- the n plus 1 minus 1.
- And now let's distribute the s out.
- So we get s times a minus 1 is equal to a to the n
- plus 1 minus 1, right?
- And then what do we get?
- Well, we can just divide both sides by a minus 1.
- Let me erase some of this stuff on top.
- I think I can safely erase all of this, really.
- Well, I don't want to erase that much.
- I want to erase this stuff.
- That's good enough.
- So I have just-- dividing both sides of this equation by a
- minus 1, I get s is equal to a to the n plus 1 minus
- 1 over a minus 1.
- So where did that get us?
- We defined the geometric series as equal to the sum.
- From k is equal to 0, to n of a to the k.
- And now we've just derived a formula for what that
- sum ends up being.
- Equals a to the n plus 1 minus 1 over a minus 1.
- And why is this useful?
- We now know, if I were to say, well, what is-- let me clean
- up all of this, as well.
- Let me clean up all of this and we can-- OK.
- So if I said, you figure out the sum of, I don't know, the
- powers of 3 up to 3 to the, I don't know, 3 to
- the tenth power.
- So, you know, 3.
- So 3 to the zero, plus 3 to the one, plus 3 squared, plus all
- the way to 3 to the tenth.
- So this is the same thing as the sum of k equals zero
- to 10, of 3 to the k.
- Right?
- So this formula we just figured out, a is 3 and n is 10.
- So this sum is just going to be equal to 3 to the eleventh
- power minus 1 over 3 minus 1.
- Which equals-- well, I don't know what 3 to
- the eleventh power is.
- Minus 1 over 2.
- So that's kind of useful.
- That is a number.
- Although you'd have to memorize your exponent tables to the
- eleventh power to do that.
- But I think you get the idea.
- This is especially useful if we were dealing with-- well, if
- the base was a power of ten, it would be very, very easy.
- But what I actually want to do now is I want to take this and
- say, well, what happens if n goes to infinity?
- Let me show you.
- So what happens?
- So there's two types of series that we can take-- that's
- not what I wanted to do.
- There are two types of series that we can take that we
- can find the sums of.
- There's finite series, and infinite series.
- And in order for an infinite series to come up to a sum
- that's not infinity, they need to-- what we say--
- they need to converge.
- And if you think about what has to happen for them to converge,
- every next digit has to essentially get smaller and
- smaller and smaller, as we go towards infinity.
- So let's say that a is a fraction.
- a is 1/2.
- So how does a geometric series look like if we have 1/2 there?
- So let's say that we're taking the geometric series from k
- is equal to 0 to infinity.
- So this is neat.
- We're going to take an infinite sum, an infinite number of
- terms, and let's see if we can actually get an actual number.
- You know, we take an infinite thing, add it up, and it
- actually adds up to a finite thing.
- This has always amazed me.
- And the base now is going to be 1/2.
- It's 1/2 and it's going to be 1/2 to the k power.
- So this is going to be what?
- 1/2 to the zero, plus 1/2, plus-- what's 1/2 squared?
- Plus 1/4, plus 1/8, plus 1/16.
- So as you see, each term is getting a lot, lot smaller.
- It's getting half of the previous term.
- Well, let's say, what happens if this wasn't infinity?
- What happens if this was n?
- Well, then we'd get plus 1 over 2 to the n, right?
- 1/2 to the n is the same thing as 1 over 2 to the n.
- And if we look at the formula we figured out, we would say,
- well, that is just equal to 1/2 to the n plus 1, minus
- 1, over 1/2 minus one.
- And that would be our answer.
- We'd have to know what n is.
- But now we want to know what happens if we go to infinity.
- So this is essentially a limit problem.
- What happens-- what's the limit, as n goes to infinity,
- of 1/2 to the n plus one minus 1 over 1/2 minus 1?
- Well, all of these are constant terms, so nothing happens.
- So what happens as this term, right here, goes to infinity?
- What's 1/2 to the infinity power?
- Well, that's zero.
- That's an unbelievably small number.
- Take 1/2 to arbitrarily large exponents, this just goes to 0.
- And so what are we left with?
- We're just left with this equals minus 1 over 1/2 minus
- 1, or we could multiply the top and the bottom by negative 1.
- And we get 1 over 1 minus 1/2.
- Which equals 1 over 1/2, which is equal to 2.
- I find that amazing.
- If I add 0 plus 1/2 plus 1/4 plus 1/8 plus 1/16 and I never
- stop-- I go to infinity-- and not infinity, but I go to 1
- over essentially 2 to the infinity-- I end up with
- this neat and clean number.
- 2.
- And this might be a little project for you, to actually
- draw it out into like maybe a pie and see what happens as
- you keep adding smaller and smaller pieces to the pie.
- But it never ceases to amaze me, that I added an infinite
- number of terms, right?
- This was infinity.
- And I got a finite number.
- I got a finite number.
- Anyway, we ran out of time.
- See you soon.

Staff Report
Parking meters around Pineville may end up getting a make over or being removed in the months ahead. Councilman Bo Bush addressed the issue during the regular council meeting on Monday.
Bush asked Main Street Pineville Director JoAnna Foley if her agency would like to have the parking meters removed. Foley, however, expressed interest in a different approach.
Foley said other areas around the state have taken an art approach to parking meters. She said some areas have allowed different nonprofit groups to decorate the meters. The group would then receive the proceeds from the meter.
She also said the group would be responsible for keeping the meter clean. Foley said the meters are an "eyesore" if the city is not benefiting from them.
Some of the council members stated some of the meters do not work. Mayor Sherwin Rader said she could see financial issues and maintenance issues if the city keeps the parking meters.
"They are an expense anyway you look at it," said Rader.
Rader also stated the city does not require people to pay for parking, and the meters only bring in a couple hundred dollars each year.
Pineville City Attorney John Gambrel said if the meters are removed, they will need to be removed properly. That would mean they would have to be completely removed instead of cut down.
Council did not take formal action on the issue during the meeting.

A most amazing breed of dog owned and praised by the highest members of society through out human history. The poodle is regarded as the second most intelligent dog second only to the border collie whose disposition and physical exterior are out shinned by light years by the poodles elegant mannerisms and sense of calm. The poodle is skillful in many dog sports, including agility, obedience, tracking, and even herding and has taken first place more than any other breed. But poodles are not only the elegant show dogs portrayed by the media, poodles were once known as the best hunting dogs, hunting on both land and in water with the intelligence and beauty that accompanies everything a poodle does. The poodle, a dog usually associated with the upper crust of society, has just recently in the last few decades, made its way down the socioeconomic ladder and has proved its most outstanding quality yet. The poodle is now becoming known as the best house pet for its calming sweetness and adoration of its owner. You will not find a more well rounded, beautiful, intelligent dog than the poodle.

This is a title used for a lesbian who transcends a Lipstick Lesbian in her level of high maintenance. It's possible she may have been a gay man in a previous life in her aesthetic tastes, love of high fashion and personal hygiene items. A Poodle is not afraid to embrace her inner femininity and actively seeks opportunities to wear a tiara. She abhors physical labor and all things that may make her "glow" (Poodles DO NOT sweat). It is possible that even in the breeders world a Poodle might be viewed as difficult to please and just a bit demanding...

6 Products to Buy this December
Sure, it's the season of giving, but that doesn't mean you can't give a few beauty goodies to yourself. These are the six best beauty product launches this month.
Kevin Murphy Color Bug in White, $20 I have to confess: The bright colored hair trend scares me. It's not that I don't love it on other people -- I do -- it's that I'm too stuck in my ways (uptight? boring?) to try it myself. But then I heard that the newest shade of Kevin Murphy's chalk-like Color Bug is white. Now that's a non-color I can get behind. A few strategic streaks on the underside of my dark hair is really pretty -- and I've convinced blonde friends to give themselves cool white-dipped ends. Yes, it's a little safe, but it's also kind of chic -- am I right?

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The city of Syracuse paid tribute to local veterans with a ceremony at the War Memorial. Community leaders were on hand to recognize all those who have served, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Veterans say the recognition means the world to them.
"I appreciate all this. Everybody's grabbing me and saying thank you. It makes you feel good," says World War Two Veteran Lyman Ashworth. "It's gratifying to see the same people over and over every year. It really is. It makes you feel wanted and helpful," says Onondaga County Veterans Service Advisory Board member David Leslie.
Colonel Greg Semmel of the National Guard's 174th Attack Wing was the keynote speaker for the ceremony.

Supreme Golf
- Multiple Locations
Golfers gain discounts at 14 area courses, a golf-ball stencil, and a one-year subscription to Golf Digest magazine
Recommended Golf by Groupon Customers
Nestled several miles north of Augusta National Golf Club, the 27-hole course complex at Mount Vintage Plantation Golf Club resembles golf's most hallowed grounds in ways that extend beyond geographical proximity. Designed by Tom Jackson, the course rolls through curtains of carolina pines, speckling nearly 2,000 acres with white-sand bunkers and scenic water features that test the accuracy of every swing.
The two original nines, the Chester and the Vintage, shine with visually stunning vistas and elevation changes—on the Vintage course alone, 8 holes boast a rise or fall of 30 feet or more. Opened in 2008—eight years after its forebears—the Independent course puts water in play on all but 1 hole, testing golfers' abilities to manage high-pressure shots or skip balls close to pins.
With the butt of a 12-gauge shotgun pressed against his shoulder and his eyes searching the skies for game, Bobby Kilgus's solitary hunting expedition was interrupted by something of an epiphany: suddenly, he had the impulse to transform his family farmland into a golf course. Though the instinct may have been dismissed by most people of his ilk—he had only played golf once in his life—Bobby and his wife set to work, researching the ins-and-outs of course design and enlisting the help of construction company owners to clear and sculpt the rugged earth. By 2003—a mere four years after he first saw visions of splendid fairways dancing atop the barrel of his shotgun—the Kilguses opened a 9-hole course, only to see it grow it into a full 18-hole course in 2007, hastened by tireless work and a steady diet of pureed fairway smoothies.
Eight years of toil culminated in a 5,822-yard, par 72 course that embodies down-home charm and challenging course play. With water in play on six holes, Bobby's grassy brainchild presents players with a number of tricky shots, including a 131-yard, blind tee shot into a completely hidden green at the par 3 13th hole, where it can be said that players—not unlike the course's architect—must take a leap of faith.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 72 course
- Length of 5,822 yards from the farthest tees
- Course rating of 67.5 from the farthest tees
- Slope rating of 116 from the farthest tees
- Three tee options
Designed by prolific course architect Willard Byrd, Timberlake Country Club's 18-hole course plots a 6,579-yard trail across a Lake Murray peninsula as it dips southward into the glassy waters. Picturesque views of the lake abound throughout the round—because of its proximity to the lake, the club offers free docking and shore-side pickup for those who wish to arrive by boat or seahorse—and the supersized pool's watery fingers come into play on seven holes. Rounds culminate with dramatic flair at the signature 18th hole, a 483-yard par 5 where a mid-fairway water hazard looms on the business end of a blind tee shot, raising the stakes for players who unsheathe their driver in the hopes of reaching the green in two.
Alongside the grassy course, neon yellow orbs slice through the air at Timberlake Country Club's tennis courts, where tennis pro Mark Gardiner teaches students to hit a forehand passing shot or incite an earthquake with a deafening grunt. The club also houses diverse dining facilities to curb appetites or host social events.
As golfers stand over teed-up golf balls, staring down the fairway of Indian Trail Golf Course's 370-yard 14th hole—the course signature—they may be perplexed by its ranking as the round's most difficult hole. Though the scorecard reads "short par 4," the hole packs a good deal of hardship into its diminutive stature. Golfers must aim for the top of the fairway hill off the tee, while steering clear of the boulder on the right side and the large pond just beyond. Players are forgiven for going the conservative route with a long iron off the tee, as opposed to risking the driver or a retrofitted t-shirt cannon. If they leave themselves a decent lie on the approach, a two-tiered green awaits just over the water, making three-putts an all-too-common occurrence.
While not every hole features boulders, uphill fairways, and the ever-present threat of boogeyman attacks, the course is characterized by the ubiquitous threat of hazards. In all, nine ponds and more than 40 bunkers haunt players along the 6,272 yards of Bermuda-covered terrain, lending an air of hostility to the otherwise pristine surroundings.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 72 course
- Total length of 6,272 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 69.4 from the back tees
- Course slope of 127 from the back tees
- Four sets of tees per hole
Sculpted into 160 acres of rolling hills and forests of oak, pine, and dogwood, Oak Hills Golf Club provides a scenic challenge for golfers skilled and novice. The course designed by Steve Melnyk and Davis Love III features manicured Tifway 419 bermuda-grass fairways and elevated, undulating greens. Players might want to keep a still-life painter in the bag for when they reach the elevated tee box on the par 5 hole 18, where a viewing of nine different holes manifests itself in a verdant panorama of course and countryside. The Oak Hills staff of veteran PGA professionals amends swings during private lessons for adults and youths.

Edinburgh sign Cheetahs prop
15 Feb 2012
Cheetahs tighthead prop WP Nel has agreed a three-year deal with Scottish club Edinburgh.
Nel, who started his career with WP before securing a senior deal with the Cheetahs in 2009, will leave for Scotland at the end of Super Rugby. The 25-year-old made his breakthrough in the Currie Cup three years ago as he formed part of a formidable front row with loosehead prop Wian du Preez (now at Munster) and hooker Adriaan Strauss. Du Preez and Strauss were selected to tour with the Boks at the end of the year while Nel started for the Barbarians in their 25-18 victory the All Blacks.
'My experience at the Cheetahs has been fantastic and I can't thank coach Naka Drotske enough for all that he has done for me but when I got the chance to go to Edinburgh. It was an opportunity to gain new experience and develop my game even further,' said Nel. 'To be involved in that set-up and experience northern hemisphere rugby and conditions can only improve my game in two great competitions – the Pro 12 and the European Cup – and I'm certainly looking forward to the challenge.'

there goes their dragon… -
15 Feb 2012, 19:41 pmThis is because the Cheetahs are a low budget team. They went through a massive culling exercise last year as they can only afford to contract 30 players – they rely massivley on the Griquas to prop them up – so to speak.
I've just had a look at their 30 man Super squad – they have about 8 Griquas in there and zero locks. Their pack is in for a moering of note! They simply do not have the depth to last.
What makes things worse for them is their pay as you win Toyota sponsorship – the less they win the less they get and I though the Lions adminstrators were stupid.
Good luck states you will need it.
