- Roll or Fold? If taking a soft case roll your clothes, if you have a hard case then fold clothes in the middle and roll things like socks and underwear so they can go down the hard-to-fill sides. This also stops things moving in transit.
- Know where you are going. Study the map before you leave the hotel in the morning – then you will step outside and know exactly where you are going – walking in a business-like manner/looking like you are in a hurry is great too – esp on the transport system- everyone will assume you are as frazzled as they are on your way to or from work.
- Dress up a little. During the day – jacket, nice pants, comfortable but on-trend shoes. Think: how would I look back home for a day of shopping? This will take you nicely into the early evening if you decide to stop and have an aperitif and a bite on the way back to your hotel.

Does showing up for a birthday party count as a birthday present? Kanye West's pals say it does. Guests at his corporate-sponsored 30th bash at the Louis Vuitton store said they didn't get the rapper anything. Jermaine Dupri: He's got me. I'm going. I'm the present. Hi, how you doing? Happy birthday!' Traver Rains of Heatherette: Uh, a kiss on the cheek? Sean Diddy Combs wouldn't say if he picked up a present: That's personal! Pharrell Williams: I don't know. Some wine or some shit, he said. Williams's fellow Neptune Chad Hugo? My presence. Only Fonzworth Bentley, Diddy's former umbrella holder and now an artist on Kanye's label, seemed to have made an effort. I brought him a piece of art, he said. Apparently, I'm the only one who brought him a gift. Everyone else brought themselves in a hot outfit! But I know the etiquette.
No Birthday Gifts For Kanye West
Is presence a present?

Here're my thoughts on the second episode of the first season of Dead Like Me
Dead Like Me: Season 1, Episode 1 – Pilot23 Apr
I'm watching Dead Like Me simultaneously with Mark Oshiro, author of the markwatches.net blog–which is totally awesome and everyone who enjoys television should check it out, seriously. In any event, there is very little I know about this show. I know that the main character is Death or something. I know it's quirky and Bryan Fulleresque. I know I've owned the DVDs for nearly a decade now without ever having opened them because they were on sale at Best Buy for really cheap years and years ago. And that's it.
So hey! Dead Like Me pilot!

It is Wednesday.
In the cold pre-dawn
I empty the dish rack.
Pots and spoons I washed
Seven hours before
When the week was young.
Glisten with wednesdayness.
It is Wednesday, Woden's day
Full moon of the week
Day of the wild hunter
Master of the runes
Seer of the single eye.
It is Wednesday, Mercredi,
Day of the winged one
Gifting us quicksilver speech,
Sprinkling everyday things
With emerald glitter dust.
It is Wednesday
Heart of the week
The kingly day,
After the sleepy infancy of Sunday
Monday's awkward adolescence
Tuesday's impetuous youth.
It is Wednesday
Apex, turning point,
Before the leaves of the week
Turn Thursday gold
And fall to Friday's rich, moist ground,
Before the lighting of candles
Invites Saturday's repose.
It is Wednesday.
Where does the Sabbath go
During the week?

Bankrupt Hollywood studio MGM is paying its co-CEO Stephen Cooper and his team $375,000 a month on top of a $1.3 million retainer paid to his firm, Zolfo Cooper, MGM court filings, part of its Chapter 11, reveal.
The 64-year-old executive, who was the chief restructuring officer for Enron and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and currently holds the same title for American Home Mortgage, could also gain a $4 million "success fee" once MGM emerges from Chapter 11.
Officially vice chairman at MGM and a member of the office of CEO, Cooper was drafted in August 2009 by the private-equity firms leading MGM after it ran into trouble with its finances.
His eye-popping deal — which has been amended four times, most recently in September when his firm's retainer jumped to $1.3 million from $375,000, surprised some Hollywood executives.
While some see the pay package as rich, it is less than the $600,000-a-month fee Cooper reportedly charged Krispy Kreme in 2005. Also, Cooper's firm earned $107 million for its Enron work.
Some say it's hard to discern Cooper's precise contribution during his period of employment with MGM.
A plan to bring Lionsgate activist investor Carl Icahn and MGM together was said to have been the handiwork of former CEO Harry Sloan — while a steering committee of the firm's creditors, led by Anchorage Advisors and Highland Capital Management, played the biggest role in drafting Spyglass Entertainment chiefs Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum to run a new MGM.
Cooper, however, won high praise from Jay Goffman, another of MGM's restructuring experts, who told a judge last week about the role Cooper had played at other firms, according to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal.
A rep for Cooper didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Compensation expert, Thomas Lys, a professor at the Kellogg School of Management, said it was hard to assess whether Cooper's fee was justified, but added: "The risk is not that huge to him. When a company is in bankruptcy there's more upside to a person's reputation than downside."
Meanwhile, MGM's bankruptcy proceedings are suddenly back in the spotlight after it emerged that Lionsgate is again talking to Icahn about a merger once the process is complete.
Icahn is one of Lionsgate's biggest shareholders and also owns around $300 million of MGM debt, giving him a big voice in the future of the studio behind the James Bond franchise.
Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns appeared on CNBC yesterday confirming that the two parties had held a meeting in New York on the subject within the last few days.

A few days ago we announced some rather big changes changes to Gitorious and today we have the pleasure to announce who funded all this work.
A few months ago I was invited to the Qt offices, and showed me their own internal installation of Gitorious. As it turned out, the wanted to use Gitorious as a platform for their contribution model towards the LGPL licenced Qt 4.5 and beyond.
So for the past months we (as in Shortcut) have been hard at work implementing the features needed to support such a contribution model for Qt. Be sure to checkout their introduction to the contribution model and the blog post telling a little bit more of the story behind this. Because Gitorious is open source, these changes are now available for both Gitorious.org users and anyone else using the Gitorious code base.
But, we didn't just stop there. As of today, Qt is now a premium hosting customer, meaning that they get their own branding on any projects associated with them, just head over to qt.gitorious.org to see what they're up to across their projects.
It might be worth it to make a point out of the fact that in no way is Gitorious excluding anyone who isn't related to Qt, it's just that it makes sense for them to be part of an open source ecosystem such as Gitorious. We're still welcoming everyone with open arms.
Because Gitorious.org is now run by Shortcut, we also offer commercial support and custom installations similar to what we've done for Qt.
Qt has been an absolute pleasure to work with and we still got some big things left to do on Gitorious together with them!

Many years ago a doctoral student shared some of his concerns with me. He felt that he was in prison and everywhere that he turned someone was giving him rules about how to be a good inmate. When he came up with an idea, people criticized why it wouldn't work instead of developing it in to something that might work. They informed him that his ideas were not in the right "theoretical domain" for the faculty or that his idea wouldn't yield the right "methodological treatment." He even mentioned his pride in starting a martial arts club on campus, but he was cautioned not to share his involvement. A faculty member might conclude that he had too much free time and wasn't working hard enough.
I shared an insight with this student. I told him that if he were to learn every unwritten rule in the academic culture where he was presently studying, and if he followed every rule to perfection, he would have a perfectly mediocre career. His life would become an experience of quiet desperation, filled with psychic entropy. This is the case in the life of many professionals. I told this young student that establishing a notable career requires that we break the "rules." At some point, we have to know, accept, and express who we really are, not be content with being what others want us to be.
Our work life takes on a distinctive voice only when we have something unique to offer. We do not become unique by learning and following all the rules. We must conform in order to master the professional technology, in the student's case the theories and methods of his particular field. Eventually, however, we must bring our deepest self to that technology. We must, like a musician, learn to rise above the technical rules and begin to create, to give what is uniquely ours.
To be truly creative, we must be willing to accept punishment. No one in the academic world, not even the most brilliant superstar, feels accepted. There is always someone around to criticize what we do. We are punished for failure. Surprisingly, we are punished for success. If we succeed, we come to stand for something, and that thing always gets criticized. Some of the criticism is justified and some is simply rooted in jealousy.
The same is true in large corporations and even in families. We must know who we are and begin to create, not in hopes of approval, but because we are in love with an idea. We must create for the sake of creating. We cannot fall in love with our ideas if we live in constant fear of judgment. When we create, we experience deeper meaning. We begin to do the thing because we must. At that point, negative feedback takes on an entirely different value (Fritz, 1989). Because we are doing something we love, we can let go of the concerns that drive our egos. When we are doing what we love, negative feedback becomes part of the creation process. At the very least, it keeps us grounded.

Hi everyone! I'm trying to solve a problem related to metric spaces and I'm having a really hard time. Here's the given statement:
Let (A,d) be a metric space of sequences defined as follows:
1) Any sequence in A is a sequence of natural numbers
2) For all (a_n)_n, a_n<a_(n+1) (strictly increasing sequence)
3) For every sequence a in A, the limit as n→∞ of (#{j:a_j<n})/n exists. We call that limit l(a)
Prove that (A,d) is bounded and separable.
Now, if a and b are two sequences in A, d is the distance defined as d(a,b)= k^(-1)+|l(a)-l(b)| where k={min j : a_j≠b_j}. By the way, I've already checked this indeed defines a distance.
The sequence (a_n)_n=(1,2,3,4,...,...) where a_n=n for all n in N is a sequence that exists in A.
I've tried to prove that (A,d) is bounded by assuming A is unbounded and trying to arrive to an absurd. I supposed that there exists a in A such that for all M>0, d(a,x)>M for all x in A. I couldn't get to anything.
For the part of separability I have no idea although I've tried to find a dense countable subset in (A,d). I welcome any suggestions or ideas.

Rebirthing is an intentional process to create a birth experience.
For most people birth was a jarring transition. Our sense of peace, safety, and stillness
was replaced with bright lights, loud noises, activity of those around
us. Without the support of amniotic fluid, the effect of gravity
alone was a shock!
From that point on, we were also immersed in social
conditioning which imposed unnatural and often harmful ideas about ourselves,
our processes, and the world into which we had emerged. Our inherent
wisdom was largely lost in the shuffle.
Most people will say that they have no conscious memory of
this time, but the first several months of our existence were spent in
this state, and at the time it was all we knew. The imprints are still
with us.
Our journey among the sources of confusion around us have the potential
to be a wonderful learning experience if, from the center of the chaos,
we can journey back to our own center, and this is what WaterBreath
allows us to do. Being supported in body-temperature water in an enclosed,
safe, quiet environment triggers subconscious memories from the womb.
our wisdom can then be retrieved as a state-dependent memory.

We all want our orders filled quickly. Amazon is amazing about how fast they can have items delivered to your door. Because we have grown to expect and desire quick deliveries, businesses are now under pressure to get their goods to the market quicker. Most of the products we buy every day are delivered by trucks. Especially in Orlando and the Central Florida area, it is almost impossible to drive down an interstate highway and not see a truck. We see trucks now pulling two or more trailers and large buses and motor homes pulling multiple trailers. Why does this create traffic concerns for drivers? The bigger and heavier the truck, the longer it takes that truck to stop to avoid a collision. Recently we saw a 50-car pile up on the news, which occurred on a snow-covered roadway. Videos of that accident show that the tractor-trailers were not able to stop in time to avoid it. In bad weather conditions, the stopping distances increase significantly.
We at Wieland, Hilado & DeLattre have seen some very severe crashes involving tractor-trailers, some of which have involved the vehicles bursting into flames from fuel being spilled. Remember that these trucks carry hundreds of gallons of fuel that can cause a major fire if the fuel tanks are ruptured. Truck drivers and their companies are under pressure to make timely deliveries. There are both Federal and State regulations that limit the number of hours a truck driver can be driving per day. However, truck drivers regularly violate those regulations and frequently carry two sets of log books in their trucks, one for the law enforcement officer and one for the company for payment. When drivers fall behind in their deliveries, they will try to catch up their deliveries, as some delivery contracts have penalties or the trucking companies may just be fearful of losing the customer. Not all trucking companies are large and well-funded. Many are small, mom-and-pop-type operations and may only have one or two trucks. These are the most dangerous because they are running on a shoestring budget and trying to make as much money as possible while they lower their delivery rates to get the business.
We have seen these companies that are in violation that may not even be carrying the required insurance to be operating a tractor-trailer on our highways. We understand the trucking laws and regulations and can assist those injured in trucking accidents by digging into the facts to determine where the company and driver may have violated those laws and regulations.
The injuries that result from trucking accidents are usually very significant. These massive trucks produce significant forces and will crush many cars and the people therewithin.
If you, a friend or a loved one are unfortunately injured in a trucking accident and have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Wieland, Hilado & DeLattre, P.A. at (407) 841-7699.

Jurgen Klinsmann Q & A: 'Finish Qualifying on Highest Note Possible'
ussoccer.com: Congratulations on accomplishing the first goal of qualifying for the World Cup. As you look back on the game against Mexico in Columbus,
what did you take away from the performance?
Jurgen Klinsmann: "What we take away from the game against Mexico is certainly a huge positive in terms of how the players stepped it up, especially in the second half. In the first half Mexico started well and caused us some problems for the first 15-20 minutes. We slowly got into the game, and the way we played the second half with the determination and character that we showed was very positive to see. It was great to see the players coming in because of yellow cards, injuries and whatever the situation and really play the game at the top level."
ussoccer.com: It was another amazing display from the U.S. fans, and it's something that the team has experienced throughout the last two years. What's
been your impression of the fan support?
JK: "It's fantastic to see what has happened over the last two years playing in all the different venues in qualifying, as well as friendlies. It looks like our fans are just multiplying from game to game. We are getting bigger and bigger support, and it's real soccer support in terms of passion and singing songs and helping the team in very difficult moments. The people are very sensitive when the team is a bit of trouble and needs a bit of extra help to push us forward. This is an amazing experience, and it's really fun to see."
ussoccer.com: With a place in the World Cup already secured, what will your approach be for the final two World Cup Qualifiers?
JK: "Definitely for our last two qualifiers against Jamaica and Panama, our approach is six points. We want to win these two games badly, and we are going to bring in the best players. We are going to bring in everyone that is available and finish this qualifying campaign on the highest note possible. It's been a tremendous year so far in 2013, so we want to finish it off in the right away. Also, we owe that to the fans. Kansas City is sold out. Our fans are coming from so many different places in the United States – in Columbus, fans came from 48 states - so we owe them a real good game. Therefore, everybody that is fit and healthy and belongs in that group will be there."
ussoccer.com: This final round in CONCACAF has been one of the closest competitions in history, and three teams are still in the hunt for spots. Now
going through it for the first time, what has been your assessment about the competition?
JK: "If you talk about the Hexagonal and this round of qualifying, for me it was the first time I went through a phase like that, it is a different animal like a lot of people told me. It is difficult to go into Central America or the Caribbean and get your points. It's very emotional in those places. It's very passionate. If you're not on top of it and maybe waste a game or two in the beginning, then you're in trouble. Mexico is the biggest example for that. They haven't done that much wrong - they just didn't get enough points to have a calmer environment. They failed to get points in the beginning, especially at home, and suddenly the whole environment got really nervous. The media got on top of them. Everything turned into a very negative environment, and they have to pay the price right now for it. That's why you just can't take it for granted that it's expected to qualify for a World Cup. Yes, it's expected, but it's still a very, very difficult task. Therefore, when you finally make it like we did in Columbus, you really have to give our guys a huge credit for it."
ussoccer.com: During the past two years, a tremendous amount of depth has been developed. Coincidentally, there aren't a lot of matches for the
National Team between now and the World Cup. How do you continue to foster an environment of competition?
JK: "Competition is an ongoing, never-ending topic in our environment. We want to challenge everyone. The starting guys need to feel there is a guy behind that wants to take his spot away, and even that guy is challenged by another guy. We want to go deeper and deeper into our pool to find more players and more competition. This race will go on until May 2014 and a moth prior to the World Cup, and then we have to narrow it down and at the end of the day name the 23-player roster going to Brazil. This is a process that will go on during our games, and also while they are at their clubs. We observe week in and week out all the players, no matter if they are in Mexico, Europe and MLS. We get the feedback from their coaches. This competition is really just starting now."
ussoccer.com: What are next steps for the team and the organization as the focus starts to shift toward Brazil?
JK: "The next step for us after qualifying, which was not an easy road, is obviously making it clear to the players that the World Cup is another two levels up. It's a moment that only comes around every four years, and they have to prepare for it and work for it, and not only when they come into camp in May. It's already starting now that you have to put into your mindset that you always have to do extra work, more work than your teammates at your club because you represent the National Team going to Brazil. We have to make it clear that everything is important going forward from now on, if it's how they live their lives off the field in terms of sleep, food, regeneration and all those things, and how important it is to keep a rhythm in games and show in their performances that they deserve to be a National Team player, which means they have to be better than the rest of their team. We constantly look at that and evaluate them. It's good that we know we are qualified from an organizational standpoint, because we can start to look deeper into the infrastructure in Brazil, hotels, training fields, how we want to do the preparation, where we want to prepare in the United States, and what friendly games we want to set up prior to the World Cup. We will have a better picture once the draw is done in December. This helps us to plan in a deeper way, but the players aren't getting any rest – they are observed week in and week out."

NAIVASHA, Kenya (Reuters) - A Polish national was killed and five other people, including the pilot, were injured when a light aircraft they were flying in on a tour over Lake Naivasha crashed on Thursday, police said.
The light airplane was flying across the lake, some 104 km (65 miles) northwest of the capital Nairobi, when the accident occurred at around midday.
Civil aviation authority investigators were trying to establish the causes of the crash.
Apart from the dead person, who was a woman, the other occupants were the Kenyan pilot and four passengers from Britain.

I am now two weeks into my new training phase, and since many of you have expressed interest in how I set up my own lifting, I thought I would give you the template I'm currently following. I say 'template' as opposed to 'program' because as I have mentioned several times before, I adjust my daily training from time to time based on how I'm feeling or what else is going on at the time. I am in the fortunate position of being in an environment where I am constantly surrounded by extremely knowledgeable coaches. As a new strength coach, my primary goal right now is to learn as much as I can. I am much more concerned with improving myself as a coach than I am with improving as a lifter. As such, if I am in the gym and one of the other coaches is doing something that I am not familiar with, or something that looks interesting, I do not hesitate to scrap my own workout for the day and jump in. Similarly, if I learn about a new technique or a new exercise, I drop what I was planning to do and try it out. In that sense, I am my own guinea pig. It may not be ideal from a lifting standpoint, but it has opened me up to some great learning opportunities, which at this stage of my life is far more important.
With that said, 90% of the time, I stick to my same basic outline. I generally train 4 days a week: 2 lower body days, and 2 upper body days.
Lower body changes:
Last phase, lower body days consisted of either rear foot elevated split squats (RFESS) or walking lunges and glute-ham raises (GHRs). I did RFESS one workout and walking lunges the next, then moved on to GHRs (on both days) before ending with some heavy sled pushes and/or reverse sled drags. This phase, I have kept the RFESS in the program, but I have been using the 1.5 "speed skater" rep scheme.
I have also switched out walking lunges in favor of reverse lunges from a deficit, which I am really liking. Other than those two slight changes, everything else is the same.
Upper body changes:
Last phase, I rotated between two workouts. Workout A consisted of 1 arm dumbell bench presses, light chin-ups or inverted rows (different variations), scarecrows, and sometimes a core exercise. Workout B consisted of weighted chin-ups (different grips), weighted pushups, band pull-aparts, and a core exercise. I also ended both workouts with some sled work.
This phase, I have replaced chin-ups with inverted rows to give my shoulders and wrists a little break. I suspect I will add chin-ups back into the mix a few weeks though, but it will likely be once a week rather than twice a week. Other than that, I am going to change 1 arm dumbell bench press to 1 arm incline dumbell bench press. I am loving the 1 arm press, and interestingly, my numbers have surpassed what I can handle with bilateral presses. More on this to come.
Lastly, I have swapped out sled work on these days in favor of the Airdyne. That crazy things looks innocent enough, but it is a killer. Mike Boyle suggested to me recently that I experiment with a lot of different workouts to develop an idea of what are solid numbers for the athletes, so that is what I'm doing. The first day of the week is more interval work (doing a lot of different work/rest combinations) and the second day is more steady state work (2 miles, 3 miles, 5 miles, etc.). So far, I'm enjoying it more than I thought I might. Sleds are great, but this is definitely a good change of pace.
As you can see, I haven't made that many changes from the previous phase. That's deliberate. I had good results, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I switched out a few exercises (some due to nagging aches, some due to hitting plateaus, and some due to boredom) but the overall structure is the same. I will take a few weeks to develop baseline numbers on the new exercises before setting new goals to reach by the end of the phase. I also have some exercises that I want to add back into the mix (hip belt squats and alternating incline dumbell press) and some things that I haven't really done much that I want to try more (bottoms up presses, kettlebell swings, etc.), so things may change slightly moving forward, but this is where it stands right now. I will keep you posted.
I hope you all have a good weekend. I'm looking forward to watching some of March Madness. I picked Duke to win it all and they just lost last night so my bracket is a wash, but it'll still be fun to see all the teams duke (pun intended) it out.
Also, check back soon for the next installment of Good Reads. It is already shaping up to be another great list. If you have anything you'd like me to look at, feel free to send me any links (Facebook messages are best).
With that I bid you adieu, but not before leaving you with one last image. This is my girlfriend Jessica Alba…she just doesn't know it yet.

The United Fresh Produce Association voices its support for two new pilot programs designed to enhance the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ability to trace products responsible for foodborne illness outbreaks. FDA announced yesterday that the pilots, required under the Food Safety Modernization Act, will be carried out by the nonprofit Institute for Food Technologists and will explore and demonstrate methods for rapid and effective tracking and tracing of food, including types of data that are useful for tracing, ways to connect the various points in the supply chain and how quickly data can be made available to FDA. United Fresh Vice President of Supply Chain Management Dan Vaché provides the following statement on the upcoming programs:
"Our industry has been devoted, since the genesis of the Produce Traceability Initiative in 2008, to achieving reliable whole-chain traceability for fresh fruits and vegetables. FDA's announcement of these pilot programs is an encouraging validation of the hard work we've invested to date on this effort, and we enthusiastically support both FDA and IFT in this effort. We have heard repeatedly from leaders at FDA, including Deputy Commissioner for Foods Mike Taylor, that the produce industry knows best how to move the needle on traceability, and we are committed to making that insight available to IFT. We look forward to providing the resources and assistance of the entire industry as the pilots move forward, and given the groundbreaking progress the industry has made thus far through the Produce Traceability Initiative, we hope that we can share what we've accomplished and learned, cut down on any potential duplication of efforts, and help the pilots be as successful as possible."

I used these to color in my butterflies. I included the product description, so you can get an idea of why they have a pearly look to them. The picture below is of set #2 which is the set I have with the pink flamingo. I use the pink, blue, yellow and green and I apply them with a sponge tip eyeshadow applicator.

Hi Diane,ReplyDelete
So sorry to read you have some sort of spaming going on. I think changing your settings will take care of it though and hopefully the end. I do not have my blog open to non registered users either. I think it is best.
Love seeing the butterflies from 2009. They are beautiful.
Have a great week and stay warm. I see more snow is on the way or already arrived.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
So sorry to hear you're having nasty problems also. Why do people want to ruin things for everybody? It seems so senseless to do that. Anyway, glad you found a way to curb the nasties. I'm so glad I'm subscribed to your blog.ReplyDelete
Your butterflies on the vellum paper are so pretty. I've had 2 sets of pearl ex for years and never used them since I don't remember why I bought them before. Duh!! Guess I could get them out to play with, see what happens. Glad I saw your post about them re: your butterflies and the vellum paper. Maybe I should go on DickBlick to see if I can find some inkjet vellum paper for my printer. Not a good idea to use regular vellum in a printer as it must gum it up or something from the vellum surface. I learned the hard way long time ago, ruined a good printer. Nobody in Grand Junction seems to carry the ink jet vellum any more. Totally bummed as I hate having to pay for s/h to get things. But looks like my choices have been taken away from me. I love to print some images out on vellum, such a soft look over another paper.
Wow, those butterflies look amazing! Beautiful and just what I needed to see at the tail end of winter...A very grey winter...lol!ReplyDelete
Diane gorgeous card, sorry you are having probs with spam, makes me crazy, hugsReplyDelete
Hey sweetie, this is just gorgeous....ReplyDelete
I love what you have done here, a really gorgeous creation...
Hugs Pops x x x
well this card was new to me and I am glad to have seen it! So sorry about the spam, my blog gets a lot too but it just gets sent to my spam folder. I have to look through to make sure no legit post gets lost but it works pretty well:) Hardly anyone allows anonymous comments anymore, that is why, wordpress will not allow them at all. Have a great day Diane!ReplyDelete
Wow so pretty Diane! Those butterflies are amazing!ReplyDelete
I did that some time ago, because I had a quite a few off comments!!!! It is sad when friends can't comment, but it was not worth the risk! Although you will find a few "bloggers" have weird offerings as well! Those butterflies are stunning and makes me want Spring all the more! Enjoy the day!ReplyDelete
I love this, Diane! Your butterflies are amazing!ReplyDelete
These things happen all the time. It is happening to me right now on my MS blog (which I haven't been to in 2 months! Bad me!!) I get all of these anonymous comments with links to weird things. Luckily, they don't post unless I let them. so I think you are on the right track with fixing the problem!!ReplyDelete
Good luck!! And I love the butterflies!!
Sorry about the spammers. I use the setting which allows me to approve comments via e-mail first before they are published.ReplyDelete
Love this idea!
Hi Diane, Stopping back by to say,ReplyDelete
thank you for the sweet birthday greeting my friend.
Hope your snow melts soon and springtime on the way.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Big hugs, Celestina Marie

Just saw this post, and I love those butterflies! Hugs, ValerieReplyDelete
I must look into this as well... thanks for sharing this info about spamming.ReplyDelete
Your butterflies are divine. So delicate and pretty.
I have been travelling hence could not be regular.
Your butterflies are beautiful. I can honestly say I have purchased from Blick and they are excellent to work with. "Butterflies are the bearers of 10,000 happinesses." Creative Hearts are Happy Hearts...ReplyDelete

Chris Gayle unplugged: 'I can score a century on any conditions; I am the best spinner'
'When you actually set a trend, then people expect you to come good at all times. You have fans worldwide who want me to do well.'
'We are here to retain the title and that's not going to be easy, but we are ready for it and we are ready for the challenges.'
The swashbuckling Chris Gayle on his and defending champions West Indies' chances at the World T20.
Chris Gayle sounded out a warning to rival teams ahead of the World Twenty20 by declaring that he can score a hundred irrespective of the conditions.
However, seconds after making the statement, the stylish left-hander contradicted himself by saying that conditions do play a role in a batsman's performance.
"I am batsman capable of scoring a century on any conditions and on any wicket in the world. I just want to give the team that kind of a start. It will be nice to get another hundred," Gayle said, with an air of confidence during an interaction with newspersons in Mirpur, Bangladesh, on Monday.
"However," he quickly added, "it also depends on the conditions as well and how the wicket is playing."

'We are here to retain the title'
Asked about the tremendous pressure on him to perform every time when he goes out to bat, the Jamaican dasher said it is a challenge to live up to the expectations.
"It creates a lot of pressure, as expectations are rising. When you actually set a trend, then people expect you to come good at all times. You have fans worldwide who want me to do well. That's what they pay for and want to see.
But it's not going to happen all the time; but when I do get a chance I try to entertain people as much as possible," he said.
Being the defending champions has its own set of pressures, but Gayle and his teammates are ready for the challenge.
"We are here to retain the title and that's not going to be easy, but we are ready for it and we are ready for the challenges.
"Our first priority is to make it to the last four; it's a tough group. Everybody is looking to win the tournament."

'It's like six teams can win the tournament'
Twenty20 cricket's superstar refused to attach the 'favourites tag' to any team.
"Honestly, if you look at the teams, almost everybody has a chance on paper. It's difficult to pinpoint. It's like six teams can win it. It's not like there are two teams you can single out.
"It's all about what's going to happen on a particular day. Who plays better cricket on a particular day.
"Every team's Even-Stevens. This game can change quickly, it's a tricky, game."
Gayle agreed that Kieron Pollard's absence will be a big factor during the championship, but retaining 12 guys of the 2012 winning squad is a huge advantage for the West Indies.
"We will definitely miss [Kieron] Pollard. He has done wonders for us. It's not just with his batting, but his bowling as well. It is a big loss.
"But we are still confident and backing each other to get the job done. We have 12 guys actually here who have played in the last World Cup so that's a big plus for us."

'I am really well-experienced in the T20 format'
Ask him about improvisation, and he replies in the same manner, as if he is smashing the bowler for a flat six.
"It's still bat hitting the ball. I mean players love to try out something all the time.
"As an individual player, you want to constantly improve. The batsman tries to manufacture a shot. The bowler tries to find a new variation."
Freelancing in the T20 leagues across the globe has given Gayle a chance to interact with top players from other countries and that experience has certainly proved handy.
"It does help a lot of players. I have played in all the leagues and I am really well-experienced in the [T20] format. You have a lot of inputs to share with each and everybody in the team.
"But you still keep learning everyday you go out there and the conditions keep changing. I am not just saying the outdoor conditions here, but things can actually change," he added.

'I am the best spinner on the world. I have a secret weapon'
A couple of years back, Richie Richardson had said Chris Gayle could have walked into Clive Lloyd's ODI team of 1970s and 80s.
He was a picture of modesty while answering the question.
"That would have been a privilege to be in the same team with Vivian Richards and Gordon Greenidge. They are legends of the game and I am nothing in their comparison. But my performance speaks for itself. It's a great feeling to be compared with those legends."
But the air was back when queried on when he could score the next triple century in Test cricket.
"Next Test match in Jamaica. It will be my 100th Test match," he replied.
He was also in a mood to have a laugh or two.
On spin bowling, he laughed out loud.
"I am the best spinner on the world. I know you guys have not seen me for sometime but I have a secret weapon you know!
"I can be called upon at a tricky situation to come and break a partnership. (jokes) I have a secret weapon you know."
Can three formats of the game co-exist?
With a straight face, he replied: "I think we can have a fourth format -- The Masters tournament. The likes of KP [Kevin Pietersen] can play in it."
At the last World T20 in Sri Lanka he would break into impromptu Gangnam jig when an opposition wicket fell.
"I have learnt a new style and you will see it on television in a couple of days' time," Gayle revealed.

51"You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! 52 Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him-- 53 you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it."
"Today Our attention is directed to one of the most common of them (abuses), one of the most difficult to eradicate, and the existence of which is sometimes to be deplored in places where everything else is deserving of the highest praise; the beauty and sumptuousness of the temple, the splendor and the accurate performance of the ceremonies, the attendance of the clergy, the gravity and piety of the officiating ministers. Such is the abuse affecting sacred chant and music."- St. Pius X, Pope

In Rama was there a voice heard, weeping and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children. Because they were no more.

"I dare say that St. Stephen would be scandalised by the Church of Christ's refusal to speak truth to the Jews today."
I reckon St Stephan would recognise that a whole institution refusing to speak the truth to the Jews, was not Christ's Church.

The Waveline T8000RC Measuring Instrument: Two Different Probing Systems for Contour and Roughness Measurement
The Waveline T8000RC: two different probing-systems for contour and roughness measurement.
The Waveline T8000RC measuring instrument comprises a roughness and a contour probing system.
The WavelineT8000RC measuring instrument comprises two different probing systems: one for roughness measurement and one for contour measurement. With the T8000RC, you can perform complex contour measurements with a wide measurement stroke. We also offer a wide range of roughness probes and accessories for various applications. As an option, you can also capture and evaluate 3D parameters.
A sleeve is used for the roughness measurement. This ensures that the probe is able to perform measurements precisely and reliably even in difficult-to-reach areas. With the digiscan model, the contour measurement probe arm is attached to the system with a magnetic holder, making it is exceptionally easy to change. This ensures that you always use the right probe for each measuring task, and allows you to flexibly extend the measuring range.
Even with its extensive range of functions, the measuring instrument still offers intuitive operation. The measurement run is automated. The roughness and contour characteristics are evaluated via a user interface, and documented in a joint report.
- Digital contour measurement: Digital glass scale for precise results
- Universal application: Can be used for roughness and contour measurement
- Automated measurement run: Probe arm rises and falls independently
- Flexible: Probe arms are easy to change
- Automotive industry: Measure the roughness and contours of workpieces

The authors describe a movement away from paradigmatic unity to particularism. The paradigmatic unity was the Tylerian Rationale, which was portrayed as collapsed, leaving a vacuum, and eventually was filled with a divergent deference to various branches of philosophical thought. Perhaps those that study curriculum have moved away, but I believe there to be a disconnect between the scholars and the actual practice. I believe Tyler's Rationale is still very much in play, whether teachers/administrators know it or not, leaving the reconceptualists' impact as illusory at best.
I think they are referring to those that are working to understand curriculum are moving away from the Tylerian Rationale, not those that implement it. Pinar et al. so much as suggest that on p. 755. Quoting Cuban (1983), "These practices (teaching the whole group, reliance upon a textbook, rows of desks, question-answer framework for carrying on dialogue, etc.) persisted over time, in different settings, in spite of changes in teacher education and the knowledge that students bring to school and major social and cultural movements (p. 175)". Pinar continues "In sum, the institutional practices of teaching have changed little in on hundred years."
I do get that from the chapter, but I just figure that there is no point in having a few highly educated, perhaps highly intelligent individuals discussing the complexities and evolutionary path of curriculum without any noticeable effect in the schools. Its like the head is trying to move forward without the body. I know there can be problems with prescriptive courses of action, but what we have is far from its best possible form, and those that study should have an impact on those that practice.
Yes, this is part of an issue in my department. Often times students say they want instructors who are currently practicing dental hygiene to teach them in clinic when they are seeing patients. This brings them a sense of "real world" security and prepares them for real world situations in private practice. They say faculty who have been there teaching 20 to 30 years without practicing have become institutionalzed and have lost touch with reality and what is practical out in private practice. As an instructor who practices and teaches, I have difficulty having permission from faculty, due to policies and regulations, to teach from every aspect of the real world. For example, in the school setting we have way more policies to follow prio to seeing patients (consent forms from patient primary doctors if they have diabetes, lab results, etc.) due to liability. Since the students are not yet licensed practioners, the school is liable for any medical emergencies. What I have to do is inform the student that although certain things are done in a specific manner in a school setting, they may be very different in private practice.
Meant to mention Pinar (2004) statement (p.850), "The current interest in becoming closer to practioners may be an indication just how far apart from practice (i.e. the procedural) we have moved". This is what if feels like in my field. Teaching theory has become priority in a field that is so practical in nature. I wonder if it has to do with the number of faculty no longer practicing and having control over curriculum development.
