Three More Prometheus Movies?!
Why Ridley Scott? Why? To many the idea of more Prometheus movies is a cause for celebration, but the rumours that Scott may be looking to do three more is almost too much.
The Alien director has recently revealed that there could be as many as three more sequels to his 2012 sci-fi blockbuster Prometheus, with Scott citing that with Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender's body-less android returning for further space-set adventures in the immediate sequel, it will be a while before there are any further sightings of the Xenomorph.
Speaking to FilmFutter, the director said: "It won't be in the next one. It will be in the one after this one or maybe even a fourth film before we get back into the Alien franchise."
So, not only will Prometheus be dragged at, but fans can look forward to ANOTHER Alien. But with that being a long way off, Scott further elaborated on his approach to the Prometheus films, which take place in the world he kick-started with 1979's Alien.
"The whole point of it is to explain the Alien franchise and to explain the how and why of the creation of the Alien itself," he explained. "I always thought of the Alien as kind of a piece of bacterial warfare.
"I always thought that that original ship, which I call the Croissant, was a battleship, holding these biomechanoid creatures that were all about destruction."
Due to this, the immediate sequel to Prometheus – Prometheus 2 – will reportedly contain an entirely new breed of alien monster, taking the franchise into a whole new field before returning to its roots with Neill Blomkamp's proposed Alien sequel, which will bring back Sigourney Weaver's Ripley and which is also on the horizon but reportedly experiencing delays due to Scott's (rather overwhelming) Prometheus plans.
But either way gang, the Alien/Prometheus franchise is sadly not over, so fans around the world can rejoice that Scott is not finished with you yet.
Prometheus 2 is due in cinemas in 2017 .

This blog is about the things I like... food, music, art, stuff and things. But mostly food.
Thursday, July 15, 2010
"We have noticed with your recent posts that it has been necessary to edit them quite heavily for punctuation, in particular capital letters and apostrophes. We are happy to capitalise the odd oversight but extensive edits such as thoserequired for your contributions are time consuming and slow the publicationof all other submissions. Could you please double-check future submissions before pressing 'send'.
Please see below for an example of a recent submission and Webmistress's edited version. Thank you for your cooperation on this.
Best wishes,
(This is what I wrote in response to someone else starting a post about a plug in muffin maker, as opposed to an oven - and the person who started the thread was bagging it out)
"yeah whats so hard about the oven? whats even different about the oven, aside from you can fit MORE muffins in there? who makes enough batter for 6 muffins!?"
(and this is what Webmistress "had" to change it to... This is what she gets paid to do all day...)
"Yes what's so hard about the oven? What's even different about the oven, aside from you can fit MORE muffins in there? Who makes enough batter for 6 muffins!?"
Ummmm...... WHO CARES?! Does a lack of capital letters really matter? lol its really pretty ridiculous... It makes me wonder if they're just trying to get me off the site. Because really... Writing "dont" instead of "don't" on an internet forum is the least of their worries when you see how the things runs...
Pretty lame if you ask me!

Ciaooooooo, Ops did I write something wrog? In Italy we say ciao without a lot of oooooooo so Webmistress could become uspet :)) BTW I can understand your point of view, it happens to me a lot of time not because of my English (maybe I'm forgotten just because I don't speak English)but because I write something that is not so stricly about cooking as they want; so I have to write it or add just few words and it's ok. I hate this behavior, or better this kind of censorship. I have also to copy and paste my thread because sometimes the site doesn't work (I prefer to copy it than to re write it). We are lucky, we have our blog where we can write all that we want, no metter if my English is not so perfect (ahhh you're a teacher).ReplyDelete
Baci! (means kiss)
Do you think W. could say somethin because I wrote in Italain? Yes, of course once it happened
oooomg manu i hate it too! its SO stupid, the things they worry about are ridiculous. The site loses my posts all the time... the only thing that keeps me there are the ppl on it! grrrrr i hate it that the website doesnt work half the time but they have time to censor every post that gets put up AND check the punctuation... really annoying.ReplyDelete
I'm sure we're not alone.Like you I'm there because I love people on it! BTW I love your way to write some words this is a good way to learn and impreve English for me! Good night (is it right, should you go to sleep?)ReplyDelete
I'm going to spend my evening at the gym . . . I'm in late.
I suspect it depends to some extent which Webmistress you get - stands to reason there must be more than one of them. Sometimes I have posts rejected, or requests to alter what I want to put, when other times something almost the same gets through. One of them doesn't let you put links to blogs, yet as we know there are loads of links to blogs on the site so the others obviously don't mind. Some don't seem too strict about straying off topic to some extent while others jump on anything the slightest bit removed from cooking or Nigella.ReplyDelete
well i think theres a webbie that certainly doesnt like me!!ReplyDelete
lol... what makes ME laugh is that my punctuation and grammar are almost impeccable (sorry, I'm just that way naturally !) give or take the odd typo... yet sometimes a Webmiss will take it upon her officious self to correct me, usually by re-paragraphing it, or occasionally by moving a word or phrase to a place where it no longer has the effect I intended !ReplyDelete
yeah mine get paraphrased too! i dont understand WHY they bother to do that? its so anal and controlling, and, yeah i really dont see why they spend so much time messing about with ppls little typos, correcting grammer, capital letters, apostrophes and rephrasing things that sound better to THEM... when their website is rooted over 50% of the time?ReplyDelete

It all began back in April of 2011 when Kevin Grevioux's graphic novel I, Frankenstein was first snatched up for a feature film adaptation, and now, nearly five years later, Frankenstein's monster is finally returning to the big screen.
Writer-director Stuart Beattie took Grevioux's source material and turned it into an epic battle between demons and gargoyles with a quest for companionship and humanity at the core. Shortly after his creation, Frankenstein's monster, Adam (Aaron Eckhart), takes off to live his life in isolation. However, when Prince Naberius' determination to reanimate a corpse of his own puts the world at risk, Adam must return to find his place in society and to ensure his creator's discovery never lands in Naberius' hands.
While doing the rounds for I, Frankenstein's upcoming debut, Beattie took the time to sit down with ShockTillYouDrop.com to talk about the challenge of maintaining a complex character within heavy action, the inspiration behind Adam's scars, his thoughts on the stigma that comes with a release date delay and loads more.
Check out our full chat with Beattie in the video interview below in which he discusses:
You can also read what Beattie said about some of the other projects he's been working on over the years including adaptations of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and Tom Clancy's Without Remorse over on ComingSoon.net.
I, Frankenstein opens for previews on Thursday night, January 23.

I'm beginning to study a new area (for me), ayurvedic medicine. I've been introduced to the works of Deepak Chopra (yes, I'm late to the party, but that's nothing unusual!) and am finding them very meaningful.
Today I read a quote…The healing mechanism inside us perfectly matches the one outside. The human body does not look like the green meadow, but its breezes, its laughing water, sunlight, and earth were merely transformed into us, not forgotten.
(Journey Into Healing: Awakening the Wisdom Within you)
This speaks to me enormously. I think that if one is aware enough, mindful enough, one feels things that are not immediately explicable. When I have what I call a soul-feeding moment, I don't always understand why it is so comforting, so soothing, so satisfying. But I think this is a wonderful way of putting it into words, a good way of understanding what is happening here. I am not separate from the external world. I am not a discrete whole; I am merely a portion of the life and energy force that pervades all reality, but I am that portion collected into a finite package, a defined area. So I think of myself as separate but really, I'm not. I'm a part of that energy, that life force, and the boundaries that define what I call "me" are not solid or fixed, they are fluid and permeable. So the energy flows into me, and out of me, and what I am seeing and feeling – the breeze, the sunlight, the play of light on water and the shadows of the trees – these are all manifestations of that energy flow. They are affecting the energy flow within me. If they are things with positive associations, then they are causing positive energy flow, and if they are things with negative associations, the flow is negative.
Another thing that Dr. Chopra says in that book is "We are the only creatures on earth who can change our biology by what we think and feel." and "We perceive, which means we add meaning to every signal coming our way."
Because we think, because we are conscious and aware, because we know and interpret and observe the energy flow, we can affect it. We can influence it, for good or ill. All too often, I think we influence it negatively, without ever knowing it. My desire is to begin to influence it positively and consciously, knowing that I am doing so; to use my awareness and my sentience to create healing and strengthening energy rather than allowing my thoughtlessness and self-absorbed negativity to create weakness and ill-health in myself and the world around me. I want to stop thinking of myself as a separate being and be aware of myself as a part of the endless flow around and through me.
This is a little scary. It feels a little like a loss of identity and I think that is why we resist it. But I want to learn to know it as not a loss of self, but as a greater knowing of self. I am not separate but while I am in this life, in this form, I am defined, and that definition – though it is mutable and I can affect it – is what makes me, me. I want to learn to know myself as both unique and individual, and still part of the whole.

Xiaomi has announced MIUI 6, the latest version of their Android-based smartphone UI, which features a major design refresh, better security, and more. The overall look of the UI is flattened, and color plays a more prominent role. While the update is in beta at the moment, it is expected to make its way to Xiaomi's devices soon.
Xiaomi says that MIUI 6 as designed to be intuitive, and that you should be able to just pick up your device and use it without any instruction. Everything in the new design is meant to be clear. There is a heavier use of color in MIUI 6, with white prominent in many of Xiaomi's own apps.
The phone and contacts apps have seen some updates. You can now identify unknown numbers when they call you. You can also identify service numbers, like banks, and you can also be shown a visual menu of your carrier's service line, instead of having to wait for an audio prompt to advance in the menu.
There are other important updates as well. The home screen has been designed with operational gestures that can activated anywhere, and you can now organize icons in groups. The notification center is now more reliable. Tools like Calendar and Mail have been overhauled as well.
What do you think of MIUI 6? Let us know below in the comments.

Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (IES) paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, by celebrating his birth anniversary on 6 October, in the school premises.
The programme was graced by Dr. N. Gopalakrishnan, (Retd. Senior Scientist, CSIR, Govt. of India). The other notable personages present were the Chairman of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Middle East, N. K. Ramachandran Menon, the Principal of IES, T. Premkumar, the Vice Principals Lalitha Premkumar and Suresh V Balakrishnan, HoDs and the teachers.
Dr. N. Gopalakrishnan was welcomed by Mrs. Meenakshi Nayyar, the HoD of Social Science. Dr. N. Gopalakrishnan, then performed the lighting of the lamp in the presence of the chairman, the principal, the vice principals and the teachers.
Dr. Gopalakrishnan, in his address, spoke about the relevance of the teachings of Gandhiji in the present century. He enlightened the students and teachers on the values and principles of Gandhiji which made Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the 'Mahatma'. He urged the listeners to lead a simple life, a mantra practised by Gandhiji. He voiced out the importance of value education and parental care in the life of children.
The dignitaries walked through the corridors of the main and the new blocks of the school, and relished the journey through the life of Mahatma Gandhi and his ideologies, neatly displayed on the softboards and the class bulletin boards. As part of the celebration, portraits of the 'Mahatma', arranged in the most traditional way, adorned with lamps and flowers, were placed in all the corridors of the school. Gandhiji's favourite bhajans were played through the public address system.
Dr. N. Gopalakrishnan eulogized the efforts of the school, and expressed his delight and pride in being a part of such a celebration. He was also in awe of Bhavans for reaching out to the society, with its value based curriculum. Mrs. Aswathy and Mr. Tilak (Dept. of Social Science) were the coordinators of the programme.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

According to TMZ, a woman named Patricia Trejo is claiming that DMX hasn't been paying his child support. She says she gave birth to the rapper's daughter over ten years ago and the money he owes in child support has added up to over one million dollars. Patricia is taking the matter to court, and the ongoing legal battle could prevent X from performing in Europe. He's asking the court for special permission to acquire a passport.
The reason X hasn't paid? He doesn't believe he's the father, and he's willing to take a paternity test to prove it.

Pre-reviews and Comments
The Linux book describes Red Hat Enterprise, Fedora Core, SuSE, Debian, and Ubuntu. If the book covered Slackware and Gentoo instead of SuSE, I think it would have been perfect. I'm guessing RHEL is close enough to Fedora, and Debian to Ubuntu, to allow extra coverage of more diverging distros like Slackware and Gentoo? I plan to use this book as a reference, but I don't plan to read and review it. I suggest you buy it if you're looking for a comprehensive Linux reference that doesn't waste time with installation screenshots or descriptions of how to use KDE and Gnome. Another book I like but which I don't plan to read is Network Security Tools by Nitesh Dhanjani and Justin Clarke. This is an older book (April 2005), but I only recently rediscovered it. This book reminds me of
Building Open Source Network Security Tools by Mike Schiffman, which I liked. NST describes how to write Nessus and Nikto plug-ins, dissectors and plug-ins for Ettercap, and how to extend Hydra and Nmap. There's a chapter on Metasploit, but it is somewhat overtaken by events because the 3.x framework uses Ruby instead of Perl. NST also explains how to extend PMD, how to build your own Web, SQL, and exploit scanner, and how to write tools with Libpcap (0.8.3) and Libnet (126.96.36.199).
NST is a great book, but it requires a good knowledge of C and a desire to work with these tools in a development capability. I don't possess the requisite coding skills, but I may turn to this book in the future if I want to learn more about extending these tools. Next is Network Security Hacks, 2nd Ed by Andrew Lockhart. I liked the 1st Ed which I read and reviewed in June 2004. Since I see my review of the 1st Ed on the Amazon.com page for the 2nd Ed, I won't be able to submit a review for this book. The 2nd Ed looks about 50% longer than the 1st Ed.
I was also pleased to see the discussion of Sguil had been updated for Sguil 0.6.1. However, Sguil's integration of SANCP for session data collection was ignored. After being a Sguil advocate for almost four years, writing books and articles (some of which are freely available), I am puzzled that some people who choose to write about Sguil still don't grasp the significance of the data we collect. This recent Daily Dave thread was depressing. People really collect full content data in production on busy networks? Shocking! The first book in this post that I plan to read and review is The Art of Software Security Testing: Identifying Software Security Flaws by Chris Wysopal, Lucas Nelson, Dino Dai Zovi, and Elfriede Dustin. This book is less than 300 pages but it looks very interesting. I plan to review it with a set of books on finding bugs and vulnerabilities. It's encouraging to see these sorts of titles appearing, written for software developers and not for hacker wanna-bees. The next book is WarDriving and Wireless Penetration Testing by Chris Hurley and friends. This is another team-written book, which tend to scare me when published by Syngress. I wasn't too impressed by the earlier WarDriving book (reviewed here), but I plan to give this new one a try. I'm really looking forward to Wi-Foo II next year. The last book is Network Security Assessment by Steve Manzuik and friends. This is another "team book," but it looks good. I'm surprised anyone is talking about vulnerability management these days. That's so 2002! (Please recognize I'm joking.)
Remember, you can see books that I'm waiting to acquire by checking my Amazon.com Wish List. If you're a publisher, please keep in mind I restrict my reading to books on that list. Under extraordinary circumstances I might read something else, but I generally focus on books that address a specific interest. Thank you.

The Network Security Assessment book is pretty good and believe it or not the content is pretty up to date with todays issues and concerns.
NSH2E by Lockhart et al is fantastic. I read this on Safari several hundred times upon its release. It's the best O'Reilly Hacks book out of all of them - IMO. I was shocked to see some of the material in there, having just found out about some of the tools months before the book was published (e.g. crypto.stanford.edu/antiphishing, rpcapd, cassandra)...
Syngress' new titles are fair. Sure, the NSA book made "vulnerability management" my new buzzword and VA my new favorite acronym for probably a year or two. Some parts were really well written and I must give credit to that. The coverage of tools was poor as this wasn't really a tool-book in the first place... but it did introduce me to a handful of commercial software that I had not heard about. Again, I was very impressed with the sections on vulnerability management, especially the references to advchk and SIGVI.
Being a fan of Wysopal/Dai Zovi/et al, I am very much looking forward to their book as well as the securitymetrics.org title from Jaquith (also Symantec Press / AWL) - isbn 0321349989.
There is a third book that seems to be in this series - The Art of Software Security Assessment (Dowd, et al - isbn 0321444426). I've read it on Safari last week and been following up on it a bit even this week. I highly recommend this book - buy it before the others on security/risk assessment, read it first, and read it often.
There is a New Riders title, Inside Network Security Assessment (isbn 0672328097) - that's about a year old, but it is nearly as good as these 2 new titles and fits well, holding on its own with fresh and exciting material.
I also finally picked up Professional Pen Testing for Web Applications (Wrox Press) and the latest issue of hackin9. Hopefully that will be enough reading material tomorrow while waiting for the turkey to cook (and ignoring people I only get to see once a year).

National Parks in the South East
The United States has been preserving National Parks, Historical Monuments and Battlefields for over one hundred years. In 2015, it was estimated that over 100 million people visited National Parks in the US (statista.com). These parks are often a huge bang for the buck while traveling and wanting to understand the history or natural wonders of an area. On our road trip, we have already been to five locations and at each spot, the kids participated in the Junior Ranger Program and earned a badge (i.e. free souvenir).
Exploring these locations was been an exciting part of our trip. If you have a child entering fourth grade, if you are a senior citizen, handicapped or a disabled veteran you may qualify to gain free or reduced rates at these National Landmarks. So grab a water bottle (because it gets hot), some sturdy shoes and your sense of adventure and get ready to learn!
New Orleans Jazz Historic Park
Most of my life I have wanted to go to New Orleans and so it was fitting that our first big adventure of this trip was a morning trip into the French Quarter. It was busy, hot and the parking was not cheap ($18 for two hours!). So, we wanted to do as much as possible. We started at the New Orleans Jazz Historic park, which isn't far from Cafe DuMonde' and the St. Louis Cathedral. They have free music programs throughout the day and as you enter the square where the offices are located local Jazz Musicians are playing. You get all of the feel good, deep south #NOLA vibes. Their Junior Ranger Program wasn't very intensive and within an hour we had grabbed beignets and headed through Jefferson Square to St. Louis Cathedral. We definitely got the experience of New Orleans packed into that two hour day trip and the kids had earned their badge!
What was interesting was that we were also able to see and learn a lot as we headed in and out of New Orleans. We had prepared by reading an "I Survived" book about Hurricane Katrina. This book took my kids through a first person narrative of the events surrounding Hurricane Katrina. This made Lake Pontchartrain very real to them. They were amazed that so many of the old buildings had survived in the French Quarter, but they could see others that were not nearly as lucky from the highway as we left town.
Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
This monument charges a pretty hefty fee for adults 15 and older. However, the amount of historical information you get and the experience makes it the perfect place for a family to explore. Everybody gets in for the price of Mom and Dad (and paid parking, which was reasonable). This monument is well kept and often has living history exhibits to really engage children. The Junior Ranger program they offer is phenomenal as well. It isn't air conditioned, but being built out of limestone it isn't miserably hot even in the June heat. We were able to see replicas of soldiers from different eras but what was really interesting was the life size canvases of different historical figures who passed through the Castillo. It was incredible and so informative!
St. Augustine is rich in history and we easily could have stayed for several days and explored. As it was just a day trip, the Castillo was our main focus. However, we walked up and down the streets in Old St. Augustine and explored the Basilica. The Basilica's docents were very well informed and taught our kids about how the rock for the walls was quarried.
Our summer adventure has been amazing… Next up, we will share a bit about Charleston and the adventures we found there.
Meanwhile, have you joined Global Learn Day? The big adventure happens this October so be sure to join the voyage!

GURPS Banestorm™ is a Fourth Edition GURPS worldbook. It covers the Banestorm campaign setting.
Banestorm the current campaign name for the Yrth setting first presented in Man to Man as the world that Castle Defiant was located on. It was detailed in Fantasy 1st edition, expanded on in various adventure Supplements like Tredroy and Harkwood, then recompiled in the 1991 book Fantasy 2nd edition. With a couple of exceptions, no Yrth related materials were published after this until after the release of GURPS 4th Edition. The "Fantasy" book title was used in 4th edition as a tool kit source for GMs to build fantasy settings and the Yrth setting was released under the more marketable name of Banestorm.
|Yrth, 2004
|Current Affairs
|Various sovereignties contend for power on a magical world populated by storms blowing across the dimensions.

Some additional materials can be find in GURPS Monsters
The world of Yrth was home to several sentient races and sub races. The main 4 races being Dragons, Elves, Dwarves and Orcs. The last three share a common religion and it is speculated that they are different branches from a common ancestor. This can be counter argued that the "Eternal" they all worship once was directly active on Yrth in it's ancient past and that the three always distinct races acquired their beliefs from that contact. Or any of a number of other speculations that fall between these two.
The notable sub races are Ogres for Orcs, Gnomes for Dwarves and Sea Elves for Elves. (It should be noted that prior to the publication of Banestorm, Sea Elves were simply Elves who lived on the coasts and worked the seas. Banestorm makes them a water and air breathing race which largely lives under water.)
The Dwarves moved underground and their surfaces dwelling cousins became Gnomes. Possession of the land surface was a constant war between Orc tribes and Elven communities. Over time a group of Elves dedicated themselves to the task of protecting Elves from Orcs. The 'Defender Cult' drifted from Mainstream Elves in three ways: They considered the other races to be inferior and beings not worth dealing with, took the attitude that traditional Elven ways were Superior and thus unchangeable and they then changed a major one of those Elven traditional ways by altering plats and animals with magic to make them better protectors of Elven forests.
In the Yrth equivalent year of 1050 ce, the Defenders took a step they'd been preparing for centuries and cast a spell designed to bring about the extinction of the Orcish race. To describe this casting as an epic failure is to be horrendously understating the event. The Elven lands in the west became the Great Desert. Similar but less potent disasters struck at other points where supplemental casting was being done.
And peoples and animals from other worlds began appearing in vast numbers. Of the Sentients, Humans and Dolphins from an Earth that may not be our historical one - Sentient Dolphins is an indicator. From Lor'endil came Halflings, Giants, Centaurs and Minotaurs. From Gabrook came Goblins and Reptile Men and Kobolds. Had not more than half the Elven population on the continent of Ytarria been erased from existence by the appearance of the Great Desert, the newcomer problem might have been put under some sort of control earlier on.
By the time things did settle down, Humans pretty much wound up running most of things. The Orcs are largely penned up in the North west, protected by the Desert. The Elves retain the Great Forest, the Dwarves, their northern mountain holdings, but not the southern ones. Goblins and Halflings have generally integrated within Human nations. Only a few regions are not under at least nominal human or humanoid control.
Two are significant: Djinn in the Southwest, ruled by Elven spirit beings fussed into human bodies, is the largest of such by area.
The Ring Islands, where magic is very unstable and powerful mystical beasts rule the jungles, which lie to the southeast of Ytarria.
Anything else lies beyond Ytrarria and that area is specifically reserved for individual GMs to detail.
Infinite WorldsEdit
Yrth exists as a parallel world to Earth, and is known to Infinity as a Fantasy parallel in Q5 , with a divergence point that probably occurred when the Pangean supercontinent existed. It is also a 'Sargasso' parallel that will let Conveyors enter, but not exit and the escape by the first team of explorers was achieved by Yrthian Magic.

That's democracy: Pyne backs preselection
Cabinet Minister Christopher Pyne has defended the rough-and-tumble of Liberal Party preselection as the federal coalition continues to cop flak for its gender imbalance.
Liberal MP Ann Sudmalis is fighting off a challenge from a male candidate for her NSW south coast seat, after her colleague and assistance minister Jane Prentice last week lost preselection for her Queensland seat.
The tussles have reignited debate about female representation in parliament, but Mr Pyne insists the Liberal preselection process is sound.
"There's nothing wrong the preselection process in the Liberal Party. It's very democratic, as it should be," he told Nine Network on Friday.
"Every member of parliament who wants to remain and candidates who want to stand are allowed to do so, and the voters of the party will make a decision."
Mr Pyne said the process was based on merit "because nobody tells the preselectors how to vote".
He described Ms Prentice as a great friend and good colleague, but said she lost fair and square.
"I defeated a sitting member in preselection 26 years ago. I'm sure he wasn't happy very about it," Mr Pyne said.
"That's internal party democracy. That's the way it works. The alternative is the smoke-filled room of the Labor party where they dole out seats to the factions."
Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese said it was clear the Liberals had a problem with women's representation.
"Fact is they've been going backwards in the last few terms at a time Labor's representation of women has surged to 48 per cent and after next election will hit the 50 per cent figure," he said.
"Jane Prentice is a very effective local member. She's one of the few people on the other side who understand about cities and urban policy and public transport. I think she's a great loss to the parliament."

Raman spectroscopy has already proved its effectiveness in many cases for medical diagnostics such as for cancer, cardiovascular diseases and infections. However, there are no standards in the different working groups, e.g. for sample preparation, implementation of the Raman experiments, spectra pre-treatment, data evaluation, etc.In a round robin experiment, the required groundwork will take place in order to define standardised Raman measurement methods, which will be fundamental for establishing Raman spectroscopy for clinical diagnostic procedures.
Continuing the success of the previous meetings held in Sacramento, Ottawa, Jena, and Florence, the 5th conference will come to Perth, Western Australia, running over two full days, and back-to-back with the Science on the Swan medical research conference, which delegates are strongly encouraged to also attend, at discounted rates.

February + CNY 2013 Photos
I joined the cooking club, and today's the day we cooked a chicken pie or Quicce Loraine, quite easily, we make the dough and fill the pie shell with chicken that has been cooked with cream and then we bake it! Garnish it with cheese and oregano!
|by me! Quicce Loraine <<(is that the right name? kkk~)
In my city, Semarang City, while Chinese New Year arrived, there is always a festival and Semawis Market. "Semawis" contains a lot of traders associated with the Chinese New Year and there is also featured Chinese culture such as lion dance, puppet potehi and much more! There was very crowded! Lots of delicious food there as Nasi Campur Jakarta (pork), hizit, and plenty of food containing pork. Semawis opened yesterday, and this is the second day for Semawis, tomorrow is the closing ceremony, and I will perform with my vocal group there! Wish us luck!
Today I went to Semawis with my family, and I bought one simple red sweater with a very cheap price, IDR 35 000! : 3 heheheh ~
Then we ate Japanese food, but I did not take a picture ...
Then we went home, and I tried my new sweater :)
|pretty to the max!
|a lot of China Traditional Cap
|Don't forget about batik!
|Lion Dance / Barongsai

Here are some of my loves for the week.
1. I love how talented and handy my hubby is. He can work on cars, electrical issues, plumbing, wood working, etc. My dad and my grandpas also had that ability, so I find it very conforting to know that I have someone that can take of things at our house without having to call someone. BTW he installed my new dishwasher!
2. I love being able to see my nephews on a regular basis and to watch them learn and grow. Wyatt has now lost 2 teeth, and Andy is talking up a storm and is such the little man these days.
3. I love how Cody amazes me everyday. He has such natural talent with drawing and does an amazing job with it. I bought him some learn to draw books yeserday that show you step by step how to draw animals, cars, etc. I gave them to him last night and within an hour of him receiving the books he had drawn and colored a camal and a car. Hubby and I were pretty shocked at how good they looked and had to question that he had not traced them. Then this morning he drew pencil people while waiting for everyone to get ready to leave this morning. He must of got this creative gene from his aunts as I have no creative ability!
4. I love how much Cole is growing (I am a little sad also). His second tooth is almost through and he is starting to babble and scoot around a little. I also love how happy of a baby he is, especially when he has just woke up. That smile melts my heart.
5. I love how a sick child needs to be babied. Kyle has had a little virus where he runs a fever and has headaches. When he is feeling pretty rough and the Tylenol or Motrin has worn off, he cannot do the most simplest tasks like covering himself with a blanket or getting himself water (and it has to be in a sippy cup). It sometimes is a little exasperating, but it is also nice to know that you are still needed.
Hope everyone has a LOVEly day!

I love it that you are doing Love Thursdays, at least sometimes. I did them for about a year and found that I hadn't realized how many wonderful things surrounded me before stopping to notice all my blessings. I especially love it that you have a little artist in your group. Wonderful!!!!ReplyDelete

Everybody wants to talk about TV viewership and make unflattering comparisons between MLS and any other league. As a fan of MLS, I know intimately well both the current challenges, the flaws of the league, and just how far the league has come in the last decade and how much more work is left to do. However, the people who paint Liga MX as some paradise and paradigm to follow are perhaps misguided.
Yes, a bit more flair and technical play in MLS would be fun. However, I honestly dislike split seasons and, in many ways, lots of general public interest and money prop up and gloss over the problems in Liga MX. And these are problems MLS should not ignore or try to replicate. Continue reading "MLS, Liga MX, and Theory vs. Practice" »

The whole point was to make the manpages NOT be out of date and tell you that if you want to really know how to use the program you needed to read some texinfo. It's probably a personal annoyance on the author's part at the authors for not bothering to keep the de-facto standard method for finding documentation in a reasonable manner up to date and replacing it with some big obnoxious mess requiring an all-in-one program like info or whatever to read it.

Twelfth Night, Act 3, Scene 4
William Shakespeare
As an extremely greedy child (and a very sweet-toothed adult to be honest), 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald Dahl was and is one of my favourite books of all time. So let's be clear here, I know this book backwards; I listened to the amazing audiotapes read by the author himself; I watched both movies (and still maintain the Johnny Depp/Tim Burton one is better than the Gene Wilder version – controversial, I know…); and, of course, I read and re-read the novels over and over again. Suffice to say, this book is like my child. You change it, you fail imho. It's so perfect, you don't need to change anything.
With this is mind, you can imagine how I felt about a 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' musical being announced; 90% a ball of frustration and nerves, 10% excitement and curiosity. In this mini-fit of confused feelings, I never got round to booking tickets…
But luckily for me, through #LDNTheatreBloggers and OfficialTheatre.com I scored a cheeky free ticket for last night's performance and finally, just after the 50th anniversary of the book, got to see Sam Mendes' vision at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane for myself.
Let me just start by saying, this theatre is gorgeous; large, ornate, and with pretty great eye-lines, at least from where we sitting. Plus it has a Shakespeare statue! I bought myself a Wonka bar in lieu of a programme as it seemed more appropriate – unfortunately no whipple scrumptious fudgemallow delight, only millionaire's shortbread flavour. It was £3; what you'd expect from a West End show, although I wish they'd had more flavours, and I did think it was a little hypocritical when in the play they took the mickey out of posh people willing to pay £4.50 for a Wonka bar each. Still, it was exciting to have it.
As the lights go down, the music starts, the curtain sweeps up and the thrill begins in the pit of your stomach, the first thing that catches the eye is the set. Mark Thompson has done a fantastic job overall here. The Buckets' ramshackle house, with the noise and lights of a train going across above; the looming, lit-up factory itself; the various houses of the horrible children; and, of course, the many different rooms inside the factory are all very well designed. Rooted in reality, but over-exaggerated, they were witty and fun.
One of my favourite moments was seeing the infamous Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teavee for the first time. A huge TV screen descended from the roof, behind the Bucket family household, with a presenter announcing the news. Then the sheet at the front of the screen would descend, to reveal a perfectly created mini world for each of the children and their parents, plus 'Cherry Sundae', the reporter.
Unfortunately, my favourite room, the Chocolate room, complete with molten chocolate waterfall, river, edible flowers, delicious grass, was something of a disappointment. Really, how could it not be? I expected it to at least take over the whole stage. The Inventing Room, however, made up for this, with some adorable Oompa Loompas (no, I won't tell you how they do it!), funny machines and lots of bangs and explosions. I would have also liked a little more in terms of the transitions through the factory. Naturally they needed time to re-set the dramatic and intricate stage, but it was just a big screen projected with pictures of corridors and lifts and rivers, which I thought was a little basic. The animatronic squirrels in the Nut Room were brilliant, though, and the 'punishments' of each of the children were very cleverly done, especially Violet turning into a blueberry.
Talking of the children… the cast I saw were excellent; they got the attitudes of each child perfectly. Rhys Lambert was adorable as Charlie, and I especially loved Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee – although I'm not sure exactly which actors I saw; it's so difficult to tell! Their 'parents' were also very funny, with Josefina Gabrielle playing a hilariously neurotic Mrs Teavee and Clive Carter as the typical money-grabbing, snobby Mr Salt. The Grandparents brought lots of characteristic Dahl-ish dark humour to the stage, with plenty of darkly funny jokes about dying in there for the adults.
In fact, that's the major thing that this musical gets spot on: the mixture of childish excitement and imagination and much more mature witty, black comedy for the grown-ups. It is definitely a musical for all the family, and seeing the lit-up faces and dancing heads of the children around me kind of suggested that this is one to see your own children/siblings/cousins/nieces/nephews/grandchildren, rather than on your own, like many musicals. As the show's catchphrase goes: it has to be believed to be seen. Their wonder adds to your own enjoyment.
My main issue with this production was the music; not that it's bad, but that it isn't memorable. The only one of those songs I came out remembering was the already-famous 'Pure Imagination' number, which I think is a shame considering how much rhythm and rhyme the Oompa Loompa songs in the book already have. The real bugbear here was that I just couldn't hear the words, and they are just so important in this book; they are a crucial point, carrying the messages Dahl wanted to get across in a really funny, witty, disgusting way, and this was really missing from the musical; I could barely hear a word of Violet's 'Bubble-gum Duchess' rap at the beginning. Had I not known who her character was already, I wouldn't have been that much clearer after the song, had it not been for the heaps of attitude of the actress.
A note of warning for all musical-writers: just because it's a musical doesn't mean everything has to be in song. 'Les Mis' did it successfully, yes, but it's often nice to have a bit of talking. 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' suffers from this; the entire first act is build-up to the factory, and we don't actually go inside until the second half. This works actually, but the first act is just too long, and there are several songs throughout the show that just aren't necessary. Some of the best moments come from witty one-off lines from Wonka or the Grandparents, and I would have happily cut out one or two songs and replaced them with more dialogue.
Alex Jennings as Willy Wonka is great; perhaps a touch too normal at first, but he soon gets the weird and wacky inventor spiel going, and inhabits the purple velvet tails, green trousers, striped cane and top hat perfectly. He gets the 'threatening' vibe down to a tee, whilst being this wonderful and exciting figure that you admire and fear at the same time.
Overall, this is a fun trip out for a family. It's not one I'd see again, but I'm glad I've seen it. The spirit of Dahl is there is the dark comedy and the wonderful sets, but at the same time I wish they'd done more. If you love the book as much as I do, this musical can't possibly live up to the magic of the novel. However, it's a fun and entertaining night out, the cast are also talented and the Great Glass Elevator moment is lovely.
'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane: 3/5 stars
P.S. A small plea: Just because this is a musical about food does not mean it is ok to constantly rustle and crumple and scrunch and munch at your own confections and candies. Maybe we had a particularly noisy audience, I don't know, but we can hear you even over the songs on stage, and it's really annoying!

It really was that simple. Give us vampires with the full panoply of powers -- mesmerism is especially important for them, particularly when police have to inspect the house shortly after one of the vampires has gone up in flames -- but make them almost mundane in their humanity, or almost human in their mundanity. That's the sort of comic gambit we might have expected in the 1950s, the golden age of parody, only now it comes out somewhat less Yiddish than it might have then. More to the point, whereas most vampire comedies aspire to an Addams Family mentality, What We Do in the Shadows is more like The Munsters, though the vampires in the picture are more like Herman than Grandpa, the actual vampire on the show. For all their irrepressible exoticism, there's something laughably bourgeois about their squabbling over household chores, their glee at getting admitted into trendy niteclubs with the help of Nick, their newest recruit, their still greater glee when Nick's still-human buddy Stu (Stu Rutherford) wires their home for the Internet and really introduces them to the 21st century. While most vampire comedies take the glamour of vampirism for granted, What We Do in the Shadows constantly punctures the glamour while exploring the paranormal underworld of Wellington. Our vampires trade insults with an equally bourgeois band of werewolves; their "Dark Masquerade" that climaxes the film takes place in a bowling alley banquet hall. Just as important, the film doesn't try to get laughs out of dumb humans getting seduced or waylaid by the vampires. It does quite well without an "audience point-of-view" character, the most prominent human character, Stu, being noteworthy for his utterly passive fearlessness in the vampires' presence. If anything, his technical knowhow makes him as fascinating and exotic a character to the vampires as they should seem to him.
All of the above would only add up to good intentions if the cast didn't deliver fully committed character turns. Each of the vampires (apart from Petyr) has a storyline running through the picture: Viago's pining for a still-living human lover he was separated from 70 years ago; Vladislav's much-hinted at feud with "the Beast," and his squabbles with his current human servant Jackie (Jackie van Beek), a local housewife impatient for eternal life; Deacon's growing jealousy of Nick, now the most modern and fashionable of the group, even as he seems to ape Deacon's fashions; Nick's own imperilment of the group's safety by his public boasting of his new status. What We Do in the Shadows keeps a lot of balls in the air while most vampire comedies can barely hold on to one. I won't go into further detail because it's a good enough comedy not to have its gags spoiled. It's no masterpiece by any means, and if I find it one of the funnier movies of the past few years I have to add that I seek out relatively few comedies. But it is the best of its kind and that justifies some hyperbole, as well as renewed astonishment that it too cinema so long to do this right.

Monday morning started with a meeting at Telecom Niue's switching room. All of the administrators had stepped out of the way at this point, so it was us, senior engineer Carlos Tukutama and a handful of technicians and junior engineers. Among them was Toki, who we had met in the airport in Auckland a few days earlier. The switch manager was out sick and couldn't make the meeting, but for the most part, this was the Telecom technical staff. It was time to actually start doing something.
The plan for the week was
- Establish an IP link between Sekena and the Telecom switch room.
- Set up an Asterisk box in the switch room.
- Strip the equipment rack and set up our power supply.
- Put the antenna mounting hardware in place on the TV tower.
Now, here are two important parts of the story that become the foundation for a lot of what happened over the next week and a half:
First, there is a group called the Internet Users' Society Niue (IUSN) that runs a public WISP on the island, the "free" one that costs NZ$25 to join and blocks outgoing mail and UDP applications. The history of the relationship between IUSN and the Niue gov't is messy, but that's tangential to our story here. We knew they were running a lot of 2.4 GHz gear in Alofi because we could see it on our laptops, but we didn't know much beyond that. As it turns out, neither did anyone else on the island.
Second, we were told that our client had a license for the GSM-900 band. We were also told several times that we were acting with "cabinet authority". According to IUSN's reading of Niue law, "cabinet authority" means that we don't actually need radio licenses. IUSN also claims that since Niue is not a member of the ITU that there is no spectrum regulation, but we were told that Telecom Niue's senior engineer, Carlos, was the official spectrum regulator for the country. I know that Telecom Niue does issue amateur radio licenses; their telephone book says so. It seemed prudent and respectful to coordinate our radio activities through Carlos, whether we had a legal obligation to do so or not. We presumed that IUSN were doing the same.
Back to the narrative...
I showed Carlos our Nanastations and told him that we would need spectrum in the 5.2, 5.3, 5.7 or 5.8 GHz band and that we would prefer the 5.2 GHz band. He said he was not aware of anyone else in the country using that band and we were free to do so. He asked what our fading margin would be. We said we were expecting 20 dB. He said that sounded OK. Easy enough, right? So the first order of business Monday morning was to put up the Nanostations, one on the TV tower and one on the utility mast at the Telecom office.
(James Mataele and Kone Magatogia on Telecom's utility tower.)
Word of the project was spreading. When we got to Sekena Monday afternoon to install the other Nanostation, the BCN TV crew was not far behind.
The Telecom guys put the NS5 on the tower and routed us a cable. We used an unshielded cable because our shielded cable was in a box in Auckland and would have been too short anyway. Tim started some connectivity tests.
(Tim, Frank and Taiichi Fox, the private investor in the project.)
The link was flakey as hell. The first problem was cable length. We fixed that later in the day by cutting out a lot of excess line. The second problem appeared to be interference. One minute we'd have our expected 20 dB margin, the next minute the link would disappear completely. A band scan didn't show any 5 GHz 802.11a systems, but there are plenty of possibilities beyond 802.11a. We tried lots of different frequencies in the 5 GHz band, but there were drop-outs on every one of them. We turned off the NS5s for a while.
We figured that if IUSN were running 5 GHz, surely they would have told Carlos. So maybe the interferer was a non-comms system, something outside of Niue's control, like a mobile radar. We went to the Dept. of Fisheries and asked about marine radars, but they said there were no ships in the area that day. What the heck? Were our radios just broken? Was there a configuration problem? Some resonance from the broadcasting equipment in our unshielded ethernet cable?
We were also on the hunt for u-bolts. We could not get mechanical data on the TV tower before we got here and from what we now understood, we would need some large galvanized u-bolts and a 1.5 meter section of 5 cm pipe. After a day of driving all over the island and collecting several plumbing samples, Taiichi and I found a spare fence post at the airport that looked perfect for a pipe, but the u-bolts were a problem. And everywhere we went, we got the same two questions, "When will my phone work?" and "How much will it cost to call New Zealand?"
Meanwhile, the IUSN WISP was failing badly in Alofi. We considered the possibility that IUSN had 5 GHz gear after all and just never bothered to tell anyone, but the WISP failures did not correlate with the state of our NS5s. By Tuesday, the IUSN service was just unusable, regardless of what we were doing. But to be safe, we stopped by the IUSN ground station and asked the technician there about 5 GHz equipment. He said he had no idea what kind of equipment was out there. Everyone who knew was out of the country. He also said they were having problems with their satellite equipment.
(IUSN's ground station near Avacele.)

And he was the first Aborigine to be granted land by the colonial powers, at Mosman in 1815.
"Bungaree was a man of many faces," says John Cheeseman, director of the Mosman Art Gallery.
"Some people see him as a hero, as intrepid, as valiant, as brave and adventurous and other people within Aboriginal society have seen him as a sell out."
But while his story is significant in Australia's colonial history, it has never been explored from an Aboriginal perspective, Mr Cheeseman says.
Until now.
Fifteen contemporary Indigenous artists were invited to create new works exploring and interpreting the life and story of the controversial figure, in an exhibition curated by Djon Mundine.
The exhibition - Bungaree: the first Australian - is on show at Mosman Art Gallery until November 25, when it will embark on a national tour.
"This story has been interpreted by white people in the past, by European society in the past, but it's never been addressed by Aboriginal people," Mr Cheeseman says.
"So it's a chance for Aboriginal society and Aboriginal artists to address this story in their own terms."
Bungaree - known as Chief of the Broken Bay Aborigines - was a mediator between English colonists and Aboriginal people.
He was a key and often flamboyant figure in the colonial settlement of Sydney, and his portrait was painted more than any other early colonial figure, he says.
"His is a very significant story and it's very little understood by the public," Mr Cheeseman says.
"We at the gallery wanted to bring this to light.
"The Bungaree story is also a metaophor for contemporary Australian Aboriginal life.
"And a lot of the issues that Bungaree faced, like how do you live between two worlds, is a story of all contemporary Aboriginal people as well.
"How do they live an authentic life but live with the reality of white society which so dominates where they are?"
The exhibition Bungaree: the First Australian features artworks by Frances Belle Parker, Mervyn Bishop, Daniel Boyd, Karla Dickens, Fiona Foley, Adam Hill, Warwick Keen, Gary Lee, Peter McKenzie, Danie Mellor, Caroline Oakley, r e a, Gordon Syron, Leanne Tobin and Jason Wing.

At the heart of the debate over the French ban of the burqa is the question of objective morality and government's duty to promote it through legislation. Is there a standard of right and wrong that is true, conformed to human nature, and others that are reprehensible, that pervert human beings instead of allowing them to strive for objective goodness?
The Burqa Ban involves both the right of the individual to follow prescriptions imposed by the religion of his or her choice, and the right of the government to maintain a culture favorable to values it espouses – in this case, maintaining a public sphere in which men and women are at liberty to exist and act without distinctions based on gender.
Amnesty International issued the following statement concerning the French decision to ban the burqa:
"Amnesty International has condemned an overwhelming vote by the lower house of the French parliament to ban the wearing of full-face veils in public. The human-rights organization said in a written statement that the move, which passed in the lower house on a 336-1 vote and was sent on to the French Senate, impinged on Muslim women's freedom of religion and expression."
"As a general rule, the rights to freedom of religion and expression entail that all people should be free to choose what – and what not – to wear. These rights cannot be restricted simply because some – even a majority – find a form of dress objectionable or offensive. States are obliged under international law to protect women against pressure and threats to wear full-face veils. However, comprehensive bans are not the way to do this."
Because the entire discussion has focused on the veiling of women, something pathetically easy to dismiss as trivial, it has avoided the central problem of Islamic morality, the standard by which Islam judges the character of individual human actions. What is more critical than the foundational ideology of the laws governing relations in a society? The Ban-War encapsulates the radical opposition between two different ideas about which human actions are good and which are evil, as well as the duty of government to determine which idea will be applied to its citizens, and allowed to inform its culture.
Those who oppose the Ban on the basis that doing so violates religious freedom, must, if they are intellectually honest and logical, also step aside when the Muslim community stones or lashes "its" women for being gang-raped, for kissing a boyfriend, or for sitting at an internet café next to a man to whom they are unrelated. Amnesty International must stand aside while 60 year-old pedophiles marry and have sex with nine year old children. Those condemning the French legislation must march in favor of Muslim husbands'right to beat their wives with civil impunity.
These crimes against women are permitted, even required in given circumstances, by the Quran, by Sharia Law. They emanate from the same concept of women, are codified in the same Law that requires Hijab, the burqa. According to Islam, women are created only to serve husbands and bear children. The public domain is the exclusive sphere of action for men, and women enter it only to accomplish duties to their husbands. When doing so, they are responsible to conceal their presence as much as possible. Women are radically contingent beings with no right to non-domestic, non-male centric aspirations of their own.

One Thousand Years of Russian Literature to be Published in Uniform English-Language Editions and Digital Editions
NEW YORK, NY (June 6, 2012)—The Overlook Press and Read RussiaInc. today announced the launch of THE RUSSIAN LIBRARY, an ambitious one hundred and twenty five volume series of translated Russian fiction, drama, and poetry to be published over the next ten years. The project has resulted from the collaborative efforts of Overlook President and Publisher Peter Mayer, the Russian Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communication Deputy Director Vladimir Grigoriev, and the directors of several private foundations. Overlook's Russian publishing extends to the entire Ardis list of Russian works translated into English, continuing the work of Carl and Ellena Proffer and Joseph Brodsky. There are now nearly eighty Ardis titles published and available. In addition, Overlook also publishes, under its own imprint, many recent works by contemporary Russian authors such as Ludmila Ulitskaya and Olga Slavnikova.
THE RUSSIAN LIBRARY project is scheduled to begin fall 2013 with the publication, in both print and digital editions, of five initial volumes with a projected ten books each year to follow. Selected titles will have been nominated and commissioned by an Advisory Board of distinguished scholars, translators, and academics. The series will feature not only the obvious great masterpieces of Russian literature by Pushkin, Gogol, Lermontov, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Chekhov, but other major works that continue to remain unknown outside Russia, for example, early texts from the Russian literary canon such as the early works as The Primary Chronicle (1113), The Lay of Igor (1185), and The Novgorod Chronicle (ca. 1200). These will be followed by nine centuries of Russia's rich literary tradition to the present day. THE RUSSIAN LIBRARY editions will be designed and produced to an elegant standard format, each volume introduced and critically annotated by appropriate scholars.
"The goal of THE RUSSIAN LIBRARY," said Peter Mayer, President and Publisher of The Overlook Press, "is to transcend the well-respected classics and broaden the awareness of Russian culture by making available for the first time in uniform editions these important works of literature, so many barely known outside Russia. The English language is the key. Obviously a uniform series is easier and is more commonly published in the original language; however, this Russian project has value both for Americans and British readers and internationally as well, as English comes as close to a lingua franca as one can get. Our intent is to expand the appreciation of Russian literature wherever Russian isn't widely spoken."
Following in the grand tradition of such national literary collections as The Library of America, THE RUSSIAN LIBRARY is the first dedicated publishing program of this scale to honor the great literary accomplishments and heritage of a foreign language.
According to Vladimir Grigoriev, Deputy Director of the Russian Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications, "The Russian Library will bring to English-speaking audiences in one uniform edition the full canon of Russian literature. The initiative demonstrates Russia's commitment to the support of Russian literature in the United States and the rest of the English-speaking world."

I facilitate three sections of an information literacy class for a local career college. I have been doing this for a year now. The curriculum is pretty set in stone — my time as a facilitator is spent helping explain the concepts the best I can in an asynchronous online classroom environment, grading students' work, and filing reports. Today I was asked why I ever got into this. It was an interesting question considering the source (my new boss).
I like helping people find information. I really do. I don't care if it is someone's next great mystery novel or a teenager's five required sources for their research paper. It is fun to get to peek into people's lives and help them along in their pursuit of information. This class is sort of like 60 reference transactions spread out over the course of 12 weeks. As a librarian I rarely ever just look up a book that is requested and hand over a slip of paper with a call number on it. It is an ongoing quest to question the patron to find out exactly what it is they are wanting to find out, what restrictions are present on the format of the information that they require, how much time do they have to get the item in, and so forth. When I turn to the computer to start digging for the answers, I explain what I am doing with the hopes of teaching the patron how the information is being sought so they could maybe do it themselves the next time or at the very least feel confident in the results that we come up with.
Teaching college students how to find, evaluate, and cite sources is pretty much exactly the same experience. It has been rewarding. While I might have applied for the job initially based on needing some extra cash, it has become something I enjoy. Some students hate the class, no matter how hard I try to reach out. But… there are a few each quarter who really "get" it and are the better for having learned the skills I had beat them over the head with all quarter long.
I am hopeful that with each new technique that I implement each quarter that I increase that number who appreciate and push themselves to learn just a bit more and get all they can out of this class and the opportunities it holds.

My son Jake is very talented in drawing. Problem is, he doesn't have the patience to do it. His interests lie in other things.
Well, he made the mistake of asking me what I wanted for Christmas. I told him I wanted him to come paint with me at a Wine and Canvas event (his treat). I figured it would be fun to have him all to myself for a couple hours, plus I would get to see him paint. At first he was dreading the thought. But when he got there, he seemed to have fun.
He was being so silly the whole time and making me laugh.
When it was over, we went across the street so I could introduce him to the fabulousness of The Cheesecake Factory. He declared it his new favorite restaurant.
