How we are working to achieve this vision
Dear "View" Readers:
Last week, I notified Mayor Nickels of my intent to retire from City
government on February 28, 2007, after 31 years of service. I am fortunate
to have experienced three different careers for the City.
My first job was in the Office of Policy and Planning, one of the early
incarnations of the City's planning office. Then in 1981, I went to work
in the Office of Management and Budget, where I became Assistant Director
and was appointed Budget Director by then-Mayor Charley Royer in 1989.
In 1990, I came to the Department of Parks and Recreation as Deputy Superintendent
under Holly Miller, and became Superintendent in 1996. At Parks, I found
a home in City government where I could apply my professional skills to
my commitment to youth, the environment, and direct delivery of public
It has been an incredible honor to serve as your Parks Superintendent
for the past 10-plus years. I truly appreciate the support of Mayors Rice,
Schell, and Nickels, and their commitment to the park and recreation system
during my tenure. I have been blessed to work with a passionate, involved
citizenry and a committed, enthusiastic, professional staff who daily
make Seattle's park system one of the nation's best.
We've had many successes over the past 10 years, due largely to Seattle's
incredible citizen support for the park and recreation system. Nowhere
in the country are there as many dedicated citizens who love their parks
and recreation facilities as there are in Seattle. Voter-approved levies
and bond issues for open space acquisition, zoo exhibit improvements,
community centers (twice), after school programs (three times), and the
omnibus Parks For All (Pro Parks) Levy in 2000 provided us with resources
to acquire land for open space and neighborhood parks, and to make significant
improvements to the park system beyond even what the Forward Thrust initiative
accomplished in 1968. None of these would have happened without your support.
We also weathered some tough budget years, but emerged a stronger organization
for it, finding efficiencies, working smarter, and often-times relying
on the benefits that come from partnerships - with volunteers, with the
citizen Board of Park Commissioners, with the Associated Recreation Council
(ARC), advisory councils, "Friends" groups, nonprofits such
as the Woodland Park Zoo Society, Seattle Aquarium Society, Seattle Parks
Foundation, Cascade Land Conservancy, Trust for Public Land, Starflower
Foundation, and corporate and institutional partners such as Starbucks,
Seattle Pacific University, Vulcan, Seattle Public Schools, and Seattle
Public Utilities.
Neighborhood Matching Funds brought communities together with Parks to
upgrade parks throughout the city. ARC and our advisory councils provide
millions of dollars of programming annually in our community centers,
sailing and rowing facilities, and other citywide services. And I could
go on. Suffice it to say that our many accomplishments over the last decade
would not have been possible without supportive political leadership,
an engaged citizenry, strong partnerships, and professional and committed
I feel good about the leadership at all levels of Parks and Recreation.
We have a lot of work cut out for us next year, and we have the leadership
and the staff, and the energy and commitment, to carry it forward.
Mayor Nickels will announce a search for a new Parks Superintendent soon.
I'll be in touch soon.

Getting on with life
Surgery is only suitable in a small minority of cases of back pain. An operation to remove or reduce a slipped or prolapsed disc – 'lumbar discectomy' might be suitable for people with persistent back and leg pain, particularly when the pain does not respond to other forms of treatment. When this type of operation is appropriate, most people have their pain reduced significantly, but some will have persistent pain despite surgery, and some will have a recurrence of the disc problem in the future.
Another surgical option, again for a very small minority of people with severe back pain (depending on the cause) might be spinal fusion, where two or more individual bones in the spine (vertebrae) may be joined together using bone grafts or metal supports to reduce pain. Your GP would refer you to a specialist spinal unit for an opinion on whether or not this type of operation would help you.

Pseudo-Intellectualism 101: Facebook and the Modern Douche:
A Step-by-Step Guide to Looking Smart for Those Who are too Cool to Actually Be
Step 1: Looking the Part
Your profile picture tells everyone who you are. Are you the modern man, sporting Gucci specs and a vest with a band tee? Maybe you're the party gal who's just drunk and slutty enough to have her tongue out, looking into the camera with glazed eyes, one hand on a glass the other on a gland. Or maybe you're the nerdy Asian with low self-esteem and you just know everyone will want to talk to you if you upload a pic of your Final Fantasy crush or your "totally-makes-girls-wanna-bang-you" MapleStory avatar. Whoever you may be, you need to throw that persona out the window if you want to be the internet Bill Nye. Try a simple pic of you with your homework in front of the computer or rebelliously, yet sexily and intellectually reading a book for free at Borders with nobody daring to stop you.
If you're too poor to get a car or computer and have already mastered the friendless arts of the real-world douchebag then you can get away with a simple picture of you perusing an item from your own personal collection in a public space, maybe a Starbucks or a park, somewhere just open enough for people to notice that you own a book and be impressed.
Once you've gotten through wardrobe, head on down to pick up your script with Step 2.
Step 2: Learning the Lexicon
Before you even think about posting any status, comment or note, head on down to the Bookmarks Bar and bring your friend Thesaurus.com along for the ride. Science has proven that bitches love big words (see the "Frasier Effect") thus it is your internet duty to please the world's better half and display that massive vocabulary that you wish you had, to be that cool movie character that you wish you were (Oh, Nick Twisp. Like John Muir, I'd enter the wilderness with nothing more than you).
Your parents spent three grand on SAT prep classes that you slept through, so it's time to show what you should've learned. Why type "Nah, Psych 101 looked kinda boring" when you could pull girls from across the web with "My intellectual curiositousness was under-piqued by the abecedarian idiosyncrasies possessed by that periodic institution of psychological learnedness. Esquire." As an added bonus, all your unintelligent friends will be so impressed, and threatened, by your sheer smartness that they "lol, what a dumbass" and "wtf is with this stupid douche" in jealous attempts to make you talk to them more and go get lingonberry pancakes after a hardcore night of partying. But we'll talk about how to deal with these guys in Step 5.
Step 3: The Minutia of Meta-Smarts – A Brief Overview of Obscure Academic References
As Chris Hansen could tell you, it's the little things that matter. So when showing the world how intelligent your mom told you that you were on the inside, you have to keep in mind the small, yet essential techniques. Specifically, saying things that subliminally tell people that you know more than they do. This can take many forms, from typing your statuses in computer code to offhandedly referencing a name you heard on the news (ie "ROFLCOPTER! I don't know what Charlie Melancon is thinking!"). Whatever your specialty may be, use it. If you don't have one, make one up or find someone who does have one and use theirs.
As long as it's esoteric and hard-to-understand, everybody will be enthralled by your posts, and women will want to fellate you. If possible, have a friend who understands what you're talking about, or maybe not, comment on and like the post, maybe even making an additional reference to further complicate, and further sexify it.
Okay, looking good so far. Congratulations, you're over halfway to being Albert Interstein.
Step 4: "Liking" – The Technique Formerly Known as "Fandom"
Thanks to the marvels of the modern internet, showing people you enjoy life's daily pleasures is as easy as apple pie. Facebook has taken advantage of this in the form of "liking" and has even allowed outside sites to construct "liking hubs" where any friend's news feed can be filled with what you enjoy at the click of a button! You need to handle liking like a beautiful woman: start out smooth and sensual, rubbing her body with pieces of fruit. Then break out the handcuffs and riding crops to take this baby home. Start out small, let people know you're human just like them. They'll be enthralled to log on and see that you like "Breathing" or "Having human DNA" or "Being born in the 20 or 21 centuries." Once you've established that baseline connection, let people know who you are. Friends of mine are always subtly hinting at my own amazing personality when I take time out of their day to tell them that I like "being awesome", "your mom" or "it up the butt". Now that you've got them hooked, take the final steps by going to the aforementioned liking hubs (hope you were taking notes) and click on as many of them as possible.
This includes "kid at a party -his phone rings- SHUT UP! ITS MY MOM!
Hi mom."
-random kid in background- DUDE, PUT YOUR PANTS BACK ON!" or letting everyone know how quickwitted you are by presenting '"Hi, May I help you?" "No, I just waited in line for 15 minutes to say Hi"'. But uh-oh! Maybe the day's pickings are short! Well, never fear. Just create your own based on what you're doing at the time or any particular thought that crosses your mind. Relevancy or interest are inherent, cause, c'mon, it's you! Whatever you choose, make sure it's rapid and in abundance. That way, you can satiate the growing appetites of your newfound disciples.
Step 5: Defense is the Best Offense.
Okay, so now you look the part, you've got the walk and the talk. But what happens when some other would-be web genius decides to call you out? Do you:
A) Call your mom to call his mom and make him stop being mean?
B) Get your buddies from Cobra Kai and strike him hard, fast and with a vengeance? Or,
C) Counter his smartassedness with your badassedness?
The answer, of course, is all of the above. Start off by suggesting that he "just doesn't understand" your humor, or that what you're saying is "too Monty Python and not enough MADtv" for him. If he keeps pressing on, repeat step one as needed while mainting the image of aloofness. Try the standby "LOL, calm down man! It's just the interwebz" or "Okay, big man. You win. Lmfao." This will subtly irritate and yet simultaneously engage and arouse the interest of your online threat. But if you've proven that he just doesn't get it, and he insists on throwing things like "grammar" and "facts" and "real friends" at you, you can always go one step above him. His mom. Don't know his mom? Try his dad. Don't know anybody he knows? Tell him God knows that you're right and so nyah. If all else fails, resort to beating the shit out of him. Sure, violence, in the words of the mysterious Ed, is "the calling card of a weak intellect", but once you break his jaw and his fingers, he won't be able to tell anybody it was you.
Once you memorize, master and matriculate these steps, you too can seem smart, cool and totez legit on the interwebz of Facebook like so many others before you.

Roses peak in your window. Awake to the aroma of baking scones. listen to the birds; Watch the deer and bunnies. Read a book. Visit the wonderful wineries. Enjoy the Excellent restaurants. That is vacation- just a piece of heaven.

We just completed our second stay here. The rooms are cozy, private and very relaxing. We stayed in the Carriage House this time and found it to be spectacular and could have stayed a month. The location is perfect, close to Healdsburg, but far enough out of town and off the main road where it is very quiet. This is what you want in a B&B...peace, quiet, relaxation, great rooms and wonderful hosts.

The Belle de Jour Inn was the perfect place for us in Sonoma wine country
4,0 su giugno 21, 2010
Our cottage was comfortable and the hosts were very gracious and helpful. We felt that we were removed from the noise of downtown Healdsburg and appreciated the quiet surroundings and lovely gardens. Good bed with duvet, refridge and fresh flowers in the room were a welcome touch. We were happy to return to our quiet haven at the end of a long day of wine tasting. Our thanks to our hosts to Tom and Brenda for lovely breakfast and good advise on travel planning. Shirley & Gene

What a delightful visit we had. 3 couples, 3 roomy and comfortable cottage suites, bottle of wine to greet us, lovely breakfasts. Brenda even accomodated my gluten-free diet which was so helpful. One of the nicest B&Bs we've been to in this price-range. Brenda and Tom are friendly and helpful and their property is lovely.

Wow- we have now been to Belle de Jour for 10 consecutive years. Tom and Brenda make us feel like family as they do every guest. From breakfasts to resteraunt reservations, ideas for day trips, wineries to visit, or any other requests- your wish is accomodated.
5 su settembre 24, 2009
Not our first stay nor will it be our last. A vine covered cottage with fablous breakfast - just right for a day samplying the wonderful wines in the neighborhood. Come, stay, relax and enjoy a little heaven on earth.

Tom & Brenda are wonderful hosts, with an abundance of excellent advice for experiencing the area. Located near the wine districts of Alexander Valley, Dry Creek, and the Russian River valley, their inn provides easy access for touring the excellent local wineries. The rooms are wonderfully decorated, and the breakfasts are elegant and healthy. Need a dinner reservation or a contact in the area, no problem, just ask your hosts. Highly recommended for a relaxing visit to a beautiful area.

My husband and I stay every year in August in the Atelier cottage. The property is very private with mature landscaping. The cottages and carriage house are very private as well as comfortable and the experience of staying at this property is very peaceful. The inn is just minutes away from downtown Healdsburg and within easy driving distance of any number of wineries. Tom and Brenda will make reservations for you or recommend a winery or two to visit. For the money and the setup, there isn't any comparison in Healdsburg or the outlying areas. We just haven't found anything as nice.

I spent a lovely 3 days at the Belle de Jour for a weekend getaway. The owners, Tom and Brenda are naturally personable and very knowledgeable of the area. They provided tips and recommendations on places to visit, both wineries and restautants. The accommodations are wonderful. The cottages quaint, clean and equipped with all the amenities one could want. The location is great...not too far from town but far enough for privacy and quietness. Brenda made her award winning apricot scones that are by far the best I've ever tasted. I really enjoyed my stay. This little gem is definitely worth revisiting.

Full text not available from this repository.
The importance of rehabilitation in the management of multiple sclerosis is now well appreciated as is the need to demonstrate benefit through the appropriate use of scientifically sound outcome measures and integrated care pathways. Encouraging results are emerging from a number of recent studies. However, there remains a need to provide and evaluate comprehensive service provision through the identification of need and the formulation of agreed standards of care.

Dahlquist Research Fellowship 2013-2014 Now Open
Bernt Nilsson | December 20, 2012
The 2013-2014 Dahlquist Research Fellowship is now open for applications. The winner of this award is granted full-time research for two years at the Department of Numerical Analysis at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden.
About the Dahlquist Research Fellowship
The Dahlquist Research Fellowship received its name in honor of Professor Germund Dahlquist (1925-2005), an internationally recognized mathematician and numerical analyst who spent most of his career at KTH. There, he accomplished many things. Dahlquist founded the Department of Numerical Analysis and Computer Science (NADA), built a broad scientific research and educational program, and wrote the textbook Numerical Methods. The textbook became the standard reference on numerical methods for many years.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Dahlquist encouraged a couple of his students to start the company we now know as COMSOL. Due to this special connection, we are happy to support the fellowship by co-financing it together with KTH.
Award winners
Since the inception of the Dahlquist Research Fellowship in 2007, the following researchers have received the award:
2011-2012 Elias Jarlebring
2009-2010 Yana Di
2007-2008 Raul Tempone
Submit your Application by February 1st
Are you a young numerical analyst looking to do numerical analysis research? You may be eligible to apply. Get full fellowship details and apply on the KTH website. The deadline for applications is February 1, 2013.

The Future of Virtual Currenciesalternative futures for virtual currencies and underlying technologies
Virtual currencies promise to be the internet of finance – symbiotic with, and supportive, of the internet of everything. More than 1,700 cryptocurrencies have been developed, of which about 40% are considered active. Bitcoin stands out, both in terms of valuation and mindshare, but it is still early days in this new and dynamic space.
The rapid pace of development, the proliferation of new applications, coupled with uncertain regulatory responses and the potential for disruption across many frontiers make it essential for financial institutions, payment networks, regulators, mobile network operators and technology vendors to keep apprised of the alternative futures that this new era may herald.
How is the future of virtual currencies likely to unfold? This new report from Technology Strategies International Inc. provides detailed and insightful analysis of alternative futures for virtual currencies, and the potential disruptive impact of virtual currency technologies.
The Future of Virtual Currencies addresses the following key questions for senior executives in organizations that may be affected by developments in virtual currency technology:
- What is really happening beneath the surface in the virtual currency space?
- What is likely to happen in the future?
- How should we prepare ourselves for the future?
The Future of Virtual Currencies is an essential in-depth strategic information resource for senior executives in industries that are likely to be affected by the broader adoption of virtual currency technology. To find out more about the report please click here.

Pressure increased this week for the embattled European Space Agency to cut back its big, high-technology projects, such as the spaceplane Hermes and the space station module Columbus. The latest turn of the screw came from the European Commission, which called for Europe to put more emphasis on space-based services than on developing technology for its own sake.
The commissioners' decision was based on a policy document drawn up by a panel of experts headed by Roy Gibson, a former head of both ESA and Britain's space agency. It concludes that users of remote sensing data, telecommunications satellites and other space technologies do not have enough influence over how budgets for space are spent ('Sensing satellites: who calls the tune?', New Scientist, 4 May 1991).
Too much is decided by 'technology push', and too little by 'user pull', says the paper. At present, space programmes are dominated by research agencies, ...

Dodgers' Ryu whiffs 12 with pop star PSY on hand
De La Rosa saw his career record against the Dodgers fall to 0-8.
"It's like they know what's coming," said De La Rosa, who had logged quality starts in his four previous outings. "I have to do something different the next time I face them."
The Rockies tried to mount a comeback in the sixth inning. Dexter Fowler reached on an infield hit with one out, and scrambled to second when Josh Rutledge grounded out to third. Fowler stole third before scoring on a double to right field by Cuddyer.
Ronald Belisario wasn't as efficient as Ryu on the mound, allowing two runners to reach base in the seventh, but he recovered in time to strike Fowler out to end the inning.
NOTES: Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw, on bereavement leave after his father died Sunday, is expected to rejoin the team and pitch Friday against the Giants. ... The Dodgers recalled RHP Javy Guerra from Triple-A Albuquerque and optioned pitcher Josh Wall to the same team. ... Rockies C Wilin Rosario did not play after taking a foul ball off his right foot the previous night. ... Dodgers LHP Ted Lilly underwent MRI exams on his neck and right rib cage Monday. He received an injection in his rib cage and will be re-examined on Wednesday.

Mitzvah (Im)Possible -- Guide Dogs For The Blind
Justin Skootsky and Mathew Wunderlich have won our Mitzvah Contest.
They will each receive $10. Congratulations and great work, guys.
We learned about the Israel Guide Dog Center for the Blind (IGDCB) from a flier our temple publishes. We thought that raising money would be worthwhile because it combined helping Jews in Israel with the appeal of people's love for puppies. We were able to get See's Candy to donate lollipops. We sold the candy at temple after Sunday school.
We were in contact with Norman Leventhal, president of the IGDCB and sent him $1,000 to sponsor two puppies.
He asked us to help him develop a program for bar and bat mitzvah kids.
We welcome your feedback.

No particular change is likely to impact the competitive landscape for the other pet food category in France in 2013. As in 2012, the competitive environment remained rather concentrated with the top three players accounting for less than half of the category value sales. The remainder should still be much more fragmented, with dozens of specialised players holding value shares of less than 5% in 2012.
Other pet food should experience the same key industry trends and developments in 2013 that shaped the previous year. The category is likely to suffer from the ongoing maturity of bird and fish food due to the ageing and decline of their consumer base. Growth in current value should remain positive in these areas only

Tennessee (4- 0) – Impressive stable of backs, superior defense, but bullshit schedule. Opponents thus far are a combined 2-10 and on deck are the Ravens and Chiefs. ..worst 6-0 team ever? "Hey, VY, see if you can find your dignity under that outright release over there, you bi-polar pussy."
Buffalo (4-0) – Trent Edwards is an above average QB and they have more staying power than the Kerry Collins piloted Titans, but…bullshit schedule. Two wins came against teams who don't have their head coaches any more (St. Louis & Oakland). I consider the Bills impressive, but untested…still they'll cruise to the playoffs with KC, Cleveland, Arizona and the East left on their schedule. Enjoy your swan song, Buffalo as your team is steadily moved to "shared with Toronto" status by Ralph Wilson's slight-of-hand.
"The Blemished"
Denver (3-1) - The "Diabetic Dynamo" Jay Cutler has led the Broncos to a league-leading 314 passing ypg. Shanahan's eyebrows have churned out another decent running back by committee love-fest. Surprising loss at KC, while spelling doom to my suicide league, is not too damning as Arrowhead is a bitch to play in. Photo finish with San Diego for the division.
Baltimore (2-1) – Frightening defense. Joe Flacco isn't going anywhere from the look of things and although we got the W against these guys, they're still very much in the hunt for the division. I'll be curious to see how having the bye forcibly removed from their schedule already affects the 'birds. Circle Dec. 14th on the calendar, it's liable to cost us or them a playoffs spot.
New England (2-1) - With the offense only generating 16 points a game, much has been made of Cassel and Moss up in Foxboro, but their defense is piss – giving up over 140 rushing yards per game. My guess is .500 or slightly better, but they still have that cupcake schedule to lean on.
"Middling and Muddled"
San Diego (2-2) – Slow start again, but neck and neck with Denver for the lead in just about every offensive category. If they can remain relatively healthy (Tomlinson seems like he's one hard sneeze away from IR), the Bolts look to be headed for the post season. If their D wasn't sub-par they'd have a shot at a first round bye.
Jacksonville (2-2) – Pretty average season for these guys so far. Garrard has put them on his back with two come from behind victories since starting 0-2, but doubt that strategy will get them to a division title. Back to back games against Pittsburgh and Denver will go a long way in determining if the Jags will have a January.
NY Jets (2-2) – They'll jump out of this position quick with their next three being Cincy, Oakland and KC. Favre is good for five or six wins a season based solely on his play-making and slinging of guns…problem is he's also good for that many loses without a stellar D backing him up. Sub-par running game and a swish cheese secondary spell eventual doom for Gang Green, but they'll make it interesting.
"So, what else is on?"
Indianapolis (1-2) – Only team in this group that has a prayer at the postseason. I'm not buying any of the hype about the Colts being over the hill, their O-line is getting healthier, Manning hasn't started bitching yet and they still have one of the best collections of offensive weapons in the game.
Miami (1-2) – Fresh off the stunner against the Pats, these guys are a bit of an unknown, but that offense was unorthodox and won't fool many D-coordinators going forward. Things are not good if Ronnie Brown is your personal Jesus, Fins fans and remember: your quarterback is Chad Pennington.
Kansas City (1-3) – Win over the Broncos was a moon-shot, not happening again for awhile. Dwayne Bowe is an impressive wideout…problem is Tyler Thigpen is the one responsible for getting him the ball. Will barely be edged out by Oakland for worst record in the West.
Cleveland (1-3) – How the mighty preseason pundit's pick have fallen. I expect the Brady Quinn era to begin sometime around week 7 or 8 and the Romeo Crennel era to end around week 11 or 12.
Oakland (1-3) –Al Davis is like a cross between Montgomery Burns and the creepy neighbor from Family Guy. Also, "Run DMC" is a bullshit nickname.
"With the first overall pick…"
Houston (0-3) – Better than the record indicates, these guys will be fucking up some teasers and parlays in the coming weeks. Slaton hasn't looked too bad, but Schaub is putrid.
Cincinnati (0-4) – "Now, with more clubhouse dissension!" You signed Cedric Benson? Wow. Just, wow.
East – Buffalo 12-4(BYE)
West –San Diego 11-5(BYE)
North – Pittsburgh 10-6
South – Tennessee 11-5
Wild Card – Denver 10-6
Wild Card – Indianapolis 9-7

THE GREENHOUSE effect increases significantly as the sea surface warms up, according to a study carried out by researchers at the University of Chicago. This means that as the world begins to warm - because of heat trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases - each additional increment of such gas will cause a bigger warming than the one before. Oceans are the key to this feedback process, because they provide water vapour, one of the most important greenhouse gases.
These gases allow incoming solar energy, chiefly in the visible band, through to the surface of the Earth, but absorb radiation heading out from the surface, which is chiefly in the infrared. The result is that the Earth warms.
Human activities produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and their effect is to make the world a little warmer still. The extra warmth causes more water vapour ...

I initially taught myself the traditional Mongolian script in 2008. It was always a struggle to keep the script fixed in mind and even more difficult to hazard a reasonable guess at the pronunciation of written texts. Learning the script in a formal setting is finally helping me to make sense of the system and become more comfortable tackling texts written in it.
Since nobody appears to have publicly described what is involved in learning this script, especially the way it is normally taught, I'll set down my observations for those who are interested. (Unfortunately I missed a month of classes in September, but that doesn't detract significantly from the overall description.)
Note concerning romanisation: There are many transliterations of Mongolian. Here I will use the school's romanisation, in preference to the romanisation I have used in the past. This is again different from that in textbooks that the class is using.
The Mongolian traditional script has two very striking characteristics:
- There is a very large gap between the way words are spelt and the way words are spoken. For example, dʒirukhe 'heart' is pronounced dʒurkh (dzurkh in Mongolia, Cyrillic зүрх), neguresu 'coal' is pronounced nuurs (Cyrillic нүүрс), delbigur 'hand-held fan' is pronounced delvuur (Cyrillic дэлвүүр), etc.
- The phoneme inventory is underspecified in the script. That is, there are a number of letters that are ambiguous as to pronunciation, especially in isolation. While the correct pronunciation is often clear from rules of interaction within the word (often related to vowel harmony), there are still a number of sounds written with the same letter (e.g., t and d, g and x, ɔ and ʊ, o and u). In such cases, it may be possible to rule out one alternative if it is a non-existent word. In others, two different words may be written the same way (e.g. gereltuxu, Cyrillic гэрэлтэх gereltex, 'twinkle' and xerelduxu, Cyrillic хэрэлдэх xereldex, 'fight, argue'), making context very important.
Written form first, colloquial form later
The most striking feature of the way the script is taught in the classes I am attending is that students are being taught spelling pronunciation, totally excluding the spoken language. For instance, the word for 'coal' is memorised as neguresu (not as nuurs); 'goat' is memorised as imaga (not jamaa); 'potato' is memorised as tomusu (not toms); 'eye' is memorised as nidu (not nud); 'glove' is memorised as begelei (not beelii); 'trumpet' is memorised as buriye (not buree); 'coral' is memorised as ʃiru (not ʃur); 'bowl' is memorised as ajaga (not ajaG); 'fish' is memorised as dʒigasʊ (not dʒagas, Mongolian zagas); 'vulture' is memorised as jɔlʊ (not jɔl) etc. The differences are so extensive that reading out a text in spelling pronunciation sounds totally different from normal spoken Mongolian.
So thorough-going is the insistence on spelling pronunciations that students in the class who are not from a Mongolian-speaking background did not initially realise that they were not learning the actual Mongolian pronunciation. People only became aware when the teacher, at times, let slip that the 'spoken' or 'colloquial' pronunciation (Chinese: 口语 kǒuyǔ) of a word was different from what she was teaching. While some (non-literate) native speakers of Mongolian occasionally volunteer the ordinary spoken form, the use of these pronunciations is discouraged in class. I understand that adherence to the written pronunciation continues in higher classes until a certain point, when a switch is made to the spoken form. (At this stage in the course only individual vocabulary items are being taught. The question of pronouncing grammatical endings and particles, which are strikingly different from the spoken pronunciation, has not yet arisen.)
The intended effect of this policy is to inculcate written forms before tackling the spoken language. In fact, the school originally began teaching from the spoken language, but when it was discovered that students were developing very loose spelling habits it was decided to start with the written language instead, including strict adherence to written pronunciations, and switch over to spoken forms when the correct spelling practices were firmly established in students' minds.
This approach contrasts quite strongly with that normally followed in the teaching of English, which is to teach spelling concurrently with pronunciation. When learning English students are taught that (for example) the word spelt 'fight' is pronounced /fait/, the word spelt 'give' is pronounced /giv/, the word spelt 'oven' is pronounced /ʌvǝn/, etc. It is not normal to teach students to read out words and texts exactly as they are spelt first, and learn the actual pronunciation later on.
Reflection of local teaching practice
After discussions with Inner Mongolians I know, I've discovered that this approach to teaching mirrors the normal method for teaching to children to read in Inner Mongolia. Mongolian-speaking children start out learning to read words exactly as they are spelt. This means that, even though they speak Mongolian at home and already have a basic proficiency in the language, children are initially taught to read texts using spelling pronunciations, not the normal everyday pronunciations. It is only in the third year that pupils are quite explicitly told to switch over to the spoken pronunciation. The objective of this method of teaching is clear. In a language like Mongolian, where the spelling of the traditional script is in many ways far removed from the spoken language, this is a way of ensuring that correct spelling habits are put firmly in place.
The implications of this approach for the perceptions of language are interesting to contemplate. While speakers of Mongolian in Inner Mongolia and Mongolia can communicate with each other quite freely (allowing for differences in pronunciation and vocabulary), perceptions of writing and spelling appear to differ markedly between the two. Despite the primacy that linguists give to speech, it stands to reason that the habits acquired when learning the script as a child last a lifetime and cannot help but mould the way that words and their 'canonical forms' (including acceptable variation) are perceived. My impression from admittedly limited experience with native speakers is that the different writing systems have a subtle impact on the way that language is perceived and handled. This is a topic that appears to have received virtually no study.
For non-native speakers learning the language, the consequences are less subtle. With ordinary spoken language banished from the classroom, an important aspect of language acquisition is blocked out until a much later stage in the learning process. This effectively postpones acquisition of the spoken language for several years and makes it difficult for teachers to develop even simple verbal strategies at an early stage to help students acquire the language, for instance by using spoken Mongolian for certain aspects of communication in the classroom.

Subject: [vox-tech] Perl question: determining the computer's IP address
I have a Perl script that I've written and which runs on a couple of
different web servers. Because the script rewrites some .html files that
call on cgi-scripts, the script needs to know the IP address of the
computer that it's running on. Is there an environmental variable or
something that I can call within Perl to find out the IP address so that I
don't have to manually recode it on each server?
On a side note, the script I've written works, but it's clumsy and
inelegant. Is there anyone who'd be willing to look at my code and make
suggestions for cleaning it up?

In front of 74,000 spectators at Twickenham, Exiles scored six penalties but never crossed the line in a 28-18 loss.
The result leaves Irish eight points behind Aviva Premiership leaders Northampton and in desperate need of a change of fortune in 2011.
Coach Toby Booth insisted that his side will be working hard to ensure they can finally stop the rot in the New Year.
"We have had a wretched run of results and I won't hide away from the fact but we are only half way through the season," he said.
"We are obviously doing a lot of things to make sure this doesn't continue and still we haven't found the formula. It will be back to the drawing board but we will try not to be too over-reactive.
"The realism of what we have been through has left a scar. But we have to dust ourselves down because it is not going to right itself. We have to look at how and why and when we can do things better and I will certainly not shy away from that challenge."
While Exiles certainly have plenty to work on, they will at least have been buoyed by the performance of Chris Malone at Twickenham.
The Australian scored all 18 points for his team from penalties and was the only bright spark in an otherwise uninspired first-half that saw Harlequins take a 18-12 lead.
Like Exiles, all of Quins' points came through penalties in the opening period

When EMCON Technologies (now Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies) needed a controller to vary an intelligent exhaust valve, based on vehicle CAN bus input in real time, they came to LHP Software Solutions. By creating a hybrid between an embedded systems hardware interface and Windows application development (using .NET 3.0 and WPF), LHP was able to create a system which could easily be updated as prototyping evolved while delivering for the lowest possible cost. LHP provided CAN interfacing through a flexible .NET-based CAN software stack previously developed internally. This helped reduce schedule time, risk, and cost. LHP also designed and fabricated the hardware, including a custom PCB and enclosure. EMCON (Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies) has since placed orders for new hardware and software for new valve models. This project also helped EMCON's Columbus, IN based Technology Center impress its new parent company, Faurecia. This example shows how LHP can provide the entire spectrum of services and technologies on a single project.

Edinburgh v Munster - Heineken Cup match preview
Last Updated: 13/01/13 11:22am
Michael Bradley has named three changes to the Edinburgh Rugby side to face Munster at Murrayfield in the Heineken Cup on Sunday.
Last season's semi-finalists have yet to secure a win from this season's pool rounds and run out at Murrayfield hoping to end their home showing in the competition on a high.
Standing in their way are two-time champions Munster, who arrive placed third in the group (three points behind Pool leaders Saracens and one behind Racing Metro) and in need of their first away win to propel them into knockout qualification contention.
The Scottish side, who are struggling at ninth in the Pro12, have endured a miserable campaign and have been a shadow of the side which won so many admirers last season.
Meanwhile, there are four changes in total for Munster, from the side that started in Vicarage Road, one of those in the backs and three up front, for Sunday's must-win clash.
The one backline change sees Keith Earls, injured for the Sarries game, return to the starting XV in place of Casey Laulala who sits on the bench.
Up front Dave Kilcoyne and Tommy O'Donnell are others who return having missed the Vicarage Road game through illness and injury respectively, O'Donnell included at the expense of Dave O'Callaghan, and the Tipperary man will operate out of the openside berth allowing Peter O'Mahony switch to the blindside.
The other change in the pack sees Damien Varley start ahead of Mick Sherry who has recovered from an ankle injury to take his place among the replacements.
Munster will know a win will more than likely put them into second place in the Pool with one game - a home tie against Racing Metro 92 at Thomond Park - to play and a good chance of qualification.
Munster blanked Edinburgh in their meeting this season and are the only Irish province to do so in the history of this tournament.
Edinburgh: 15 Greig Tonks, 14 Dougie Fife, 13 Ben Cairns, 12 Matt Scott, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Greig Laidlaw, 9 Richie Rees, 8 David Denton, 7 Dimitri Basilaia, 6 Stuart McInally, 5 Sean Cox, 4 Grant Gilchrist, 3 Willem Nel, 2 Steven Lawrie, 1 Allan Jacobsen.
Replacements: 16 Andy Titterrell, 17 Robin Hislop, 18 Geoff Cross, 19 Netani Talei, 20 Roddy Grant, 21 Piers Francis, 22 Ben Atiga, 23 Sep Visser.
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Doug Howlett (c), 13 Keith Earls, 12 James Downey, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Conor Murray, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 Peter O'Mahony, 5 Donnacha Ryan, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 BJ Botha, 2 Damian Varley, 1 David Kilcoyne.
Replacements: 16 Mike Sherry, 17 Wian Du Preez, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Billy Holland, 20 Paddy Butler, 21 Duncan Williams, 22 Ian Keatley, 23 Casey Laulala.
What they said...
Edinburgh coach Michael Bradley
"This is our final home match in this competition and we would like to acknowledge the support that the fans have given us over the last couple of weeks with a big performance," said Bradley.
"We would take a lot of confidence from getting a win against Munster in this match and putting pressure on them in terms of quarter-final qualification."
Heineken Cup week five 2012/13
O'Gara cited for Cox clash
Fly-half Ronan O'Gara has been cited for allegedly kicking Edinburgh's Sean Cox during Munster's 26-17 win on Sunday.
Tries of the Weekend - Round 5
Take a look back at the best tries from this weekend's Heineken Cup action.
Cockerill predicts cup classic
Richard Cockerill predicted a Heineken Cup "classic" when Leicester and Toulouse go head to head at Welford Road.
- Heineken hopes
- Toulouse too good for Treviso
- Leicester set up grand finale
- Penney: We had to make sure
- Munster stay in the hunt
- Schmidt not happy despite win
- Maturing Saracens satisfy boss
- Heineken Cup exit for Exeter
- Bonus keeps Leinster alive
- Fiddes' Cent
- Toulon progress pleases Jonny
- Farrell stars in Sarries win
- Harlequins earn O'Shea praise
- Biarritz ease past Zebre
- Five from five for Harlequins
- Toulon power past Blues
- Heineken Cup views
- Diamond upbeat despite loss
- Anscombe joy at qualification

Natalie Gulbis felt naked during body-painting photoshoot for Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit models are not the only ones getting nearly-naked in the latest Sports Ilustrated Swimsuit issue. Professional golfer Natalie Gulbis took part in a body painting session that left her in nothing but some strategically-placed swaths of paint with golf balls on them.
In the pictures, it looks like she's really wearing a bikini, but if you look closely enough, you can tell that she is not. Goodness. You get it, girl. You can see all the pictures at SI's website.
Gulbis says in the behind-the-scenes video, "It was very cool that Sports Illustrated specifically had designed a suit for the shoot for me - the same suit that I was body-painted in ... I thought the process would take a couple hours ... twelve hours later they were still painting me. The process was incredible ... I definitely felt like I was naked the entire time."
Gulbis is a 29-year-old LPGA tour member, who has one tour win to her name, at the 2007 Evian Masters.

In my work as a mental health professional and a health and human services provider, I believe in practicing an integrative approach that bridges both mental health and physical health. Integrative health care combines an array of non-mainstream health care approaches with mainstream approaches in physical and mental health care. Clinical depression and clinical anxiety are both based on neuroscience as well as psycho-social factors. Therefore, incorporating integrative therapies and healing practices when providing intervention and treatment for both can be very effective for most clients.
Clinical counseling by a trained mental health professional is always a good alternative to consider when suffering from clinical depression or clinical anxiety. Another systemic approach in combination with talk therapy is homeopathy. Some of the other alternatives to psychotropic medications in treating these neuroscience based conditions are St. John's Wort, Kava Kava, imagery/hypnosis, relaxation training, and meditation. Yoga, stress reduction, relaxation therapy, and breath work also seem to work in some individuals.
Music therapy also helps to promote health and healing for both depression and anxiety. Other effective botanical medicines are B-Vitamins because they help in the production and regulation of neurotransmitters associated with depression. Folic acid and Omega-3 fatty acid are also believed to be effective. Although there is a tendency to believe that herbal remedies for such clinical conditions is largely effective for most people, that belief has no research backing. However, it is believed that some herbal supplements have a more likely chance of improving certain symptoms for some people, yet need further study (Forsyth & Eifert, 2007).
There is also the possibility of adverse reactions to these alternatives which can sometimes be unsafe. If individuals are taking prescription medications to treat these clinical conditions they should be careful about mixing herbal alternatives with these medications. It is very important that they check with a pharmacist or a doctor before doing so to avoid negative interactions between the two. Some clients improve with both clinical counseling in conjunction with psychopharmacology, which is always my personal recommendation. However, most respond positively to medications alone, although certain mood and anxiety disorders respond best to specific evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

After many tears of frustration - and a few threats aimed at the internet (even one aimed at my laptop)- I finally managed to achieve what I started trying to do about a month ago. Yay me!
You will now notice (if you have visited this site before) that I have a few links down the left side of the screen (trust me they weren't there a few days ago.)
The first link "view my stats" is a visitor log - if you want you can click on the link and see who is being drawn to this site (this is really for my benefit )
The second (if you are viewing this message from the portal - which, to be fair, most people do) is a link to a website that is very useful, if you have a website of your own (it gets people coming to your site.)
The final three "Witches' Cottage", "Writer's Zone" and "Fun Zone" are internal links within this site. (the main site attractions perhaps )
What else is new?
I have added a new area in the poetry section of the site. "Published Poems" This area is for people to include poems that they have had published elsewhere. It's your place to say look what I've done! (If you have a video of yourself reading the poem why not embed it as well.)
Two new forums have been added to the writer's Zone "Mythic Oracle" and "Mythic High" Mythic Oracle is an internet newspaper that Lyra invented and is being added to on a fortnightly basis. Mythic High is eventually going to be a role playing game. We are working on creating it at the moment so hopefully it will be up and running within the next few months. (I did say HTML was something I struggled with right?)
Thanks to RosieBell we have now got a lot more data for the "Correspondences" Forum in the witches' Cottage.
Well that's it for now... Enjoy your visit and Come again soon.

Into the New Year...

Hello everyone.
As you can see (if you are a returning user) the site has gone under a few changes in the last month... we are closing down our other site and moving all the data from it to this one which means that this one is now more than just another writing site.
The reason for closing down the other site was because it was receiving too much spam and we were getting fed up with deleting it every day, also it is allot easier to manage just one site rather than two.
There is still more to be done to the site... including a new colour scheme.
Finally we would Like to wish you all a very happy New Year and that you do not all suffer to badly with hangovers the next day
So Happy New Year everyone
