Inspiration, that quick breath of insight, aligns not with clocks or calendars. How then should one build a creative career? How will deadlines be met? How can deliverable schedules even be written? It's all a bit like whispering to no one in particular that you need five logo comps by next Thursday and waiting, hoping, something presentable will show up in time. It's no way to run a profession! [Un]fortunately, this is exactly the way our vocation works.
Dead ends happen. Ideas stop coming. Unless you learn to sense the logic of your own genius-daemon, you will not make peace with your calling. Getting stuck means that something tantalizing is about to surface. If you want to be there when that happens, stop clicking your mouse, moving your pencil and running your mouth. Show up. Let go. Pay attention. Squeezing associative sparks into a work-a-day timetable can only happen if you don't squeeze them at all.
Show up.
- Follow a schedule, any schedule. Having a rhythm in your life allows you to recognize windows that tend to offer up more creativity. Find them and use them.
- Purposefully learn something every day. Keeping the gears going is vital to your success in the vocation. Learn about [mohair coats / concrete manufacture / Hellenic Greece / the little shea-pets that make the butter]. It doesn't matter what you learn. If it is interesting, your brain will keep it kicking around and connecting with other odd bits until it proves useful.
- Fish with a net, not a line, for good ideas. Thumbnails, comping, brainstorming with good collaborators and concept diagrams are among the most useful practices year to year. Ideas grow ideas. New things often come from known waters. Just the act of casting the nets helps.
Pay attention.
- Start jotting down irksome questions and put them where you can see them every day. You will begin to pay attention. For example:
- How come NetFlix takes 3 days to get here but only 2 to go back? Perhaps, in your effort to know why, you learn more about the local delivery schedule, or discover your postmaster has a funny last name, or learn that engraved stamps use special papers or see that your mail carrier has sewn fuzzy, lime green fleece inside of her jacket. You never know where these little shards will take you on that next project… perhaps a button-down, blue gabardine, corporate website with a fuzzy, young, green, youth-demographic interior? And it's all thanks to your NetFlix obsession.
- Here's another: Are you often hitting your stride about 2:00pm when your [boss wants to meet / kids need to be picked up / wife gets home / dog throws up]? Good! Now you know something about yourself. Either you either work well after lunch or under deadline. Change your schedule or meals to accommodate.
- Paying attention also means paying attention to when your head needs a break. Get out of your [studio / bedroom / coffee shop / office] and go for a walk. 15 minutes + no thoughts of your project + the feeling of [sunshine / hail / rose petals] on your face = change of creative direction. Get up. Watch. Walk. And buy me a coffee while you're out, dammit.
Trust uncertainty.
- Our society likes scientists, preachers and movies with tidy endings. Don't we all? It's easier. The surety of the quantifiable, the deductive and the climax are inherently stabler. Design is a full tank of gas. Just drive.
- Life is a game of chance and initiative. That said, your beliefs about (and your trust in) the outcomes shape the actions you take as you go along. Don't concentrate on things outside of your control. Your work will be done by deadline if you believe it will be. You will take the time to make sure it meets your expectations. Trust the certainly that an uncertain process will produce and it will.
- Mathematics tells us that if you have five actions that are each only 50% likely to succeed you will get something like 95% success if you put them together. For example, flip a coin five times and there is a 95% certainty of getting heads at least once. Uncertainty is certain. Go for walks AND thumbnail AND ask questions AND comp AND believe you will find the answer AND brainstorm with others AND diagram AND ask stupid, little, irksome questions. Cast your net. Improve your chances. Be there for the spoils.
Design is a vocation. You must be called to do it, forced into it by temperament, really. When you're in the moment and doing the work, there's nothing sweeter. You carry the remembrance of those lush moments with you. Even in a trough of inspiration you can cultivate the extraordinary. Design (the action and the thing) is a moveable feast.

text: Hello!! I have a question about selecting text in a Tkinter Text-widget using the tag_remove and tag_add-methods: there is a small explanation on how it should be done in 'an Introduction to Tkinter', but I cannot get the work done the way the author proposes (http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x8369-methods.htm). Can anybody tell me how I can select a piece of text from script? I'm working on a texteditor in Python, and this is part of a search-option I would like to add. For people who think they're suffering from deja-vu or something: I have posted a question quite similar to this one a few days ago, but no-one seemed to be able to or want to answer. (maybe a classical case of RTFM? If so, please tell me where to find that FM!! :) Thanx again, Guido Wesdorp

Morris Day
0 Shouts - 78,915 Scrobbles
Morris Day (born December 13, 1957, in Springfield, Illinois) is an American musician and composer. Although a gifted drummer, he is best known as the charismatic lead singer of The Time, a band that also launched the careers of famous producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.Read More...
Day was a high-school classmate of both Prince and André Cymone and the trio formed an early band called "Grand Central", later renamed "Champagne". Later, Prince embarked on a solo career but retained Cymone for his backing band. The two began to plan a side-group that would focus more on R&B, while Prince would continue to explore various musical styles. The Time was composed of 4 members from an earlier funk group called "Flyte Tyme", but the lead singer had not been chosen. Sue Ann Carwell was auditioned and Alexander O'Neal nearly became The Time's lead singer, but dropped out due to payment negotiations. Day, who was now in a band called "Enterprise" allowed Prince to have a song called "Partyup" for his Dirty Mind album and Prince would soon return the favor by giving Day the job of lead singer. Day would suggest guitarist Jesse Johnson, who completed the band's ensemble.
The Time's most prolific and visible period came in 1984 when Day played the antagonist to Prince in his film Purple Rain, which helped establish Day's playboy stage presence. Typically escorted by his valet, "Jerome" (Jerome Benton), Day won fans with his exaggerated vanity ("Jerome bring me my mirror!") and strutting bravado, acting as a comic foil to Prince's romantic, sensitive lead. This persona was further exploited for comic effect on The Time's records, on songs such as "Chili Sauce" and "If The Kid Can't Make You Come" from the album Ice Cream Castle.
That album, the group's most popular, is best remembered for the infectious singles "Jungle Love" and "The Bird". With their palpable pop energy and catchy choruses, both songs were huge hits on both Urban and Pop radio. But it wasn't until 1990,when the Time scored a #1 R&B hit with "Jerk Out" (a dance/New Jack Swing cut from their reunited fourth album: Pandemonium . This album also featured the original members of the band). The same year, Day formed his own girl band (not unlike Prince's Vanity/Apollonia 6) called The Day Zs. From that high point, Day's success began to wane in the 1990s. With the breakup of his band, the mediocre sales of his solo records, and the general decline of Prince's popularity, Day's public visibility and creative output waned considerably.
Today, he remains a popular concert draw, fronting a revamped lineup of The Time. Day continues to employ "Jerome" in his stage shows and the comic scenes the two act out together are typically the highlight of a Time performance.
Though he had continued to act in films from time to time in small parts (Richard Pryor's Moving being a brief but memorable turn), Day's presence on the screen decreased until, in 2001, he returned to film in Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, performing "Jungle Love" with The Time and dancing with the movie's stars in the movie's coda.

Positive health visitor stories and tips(26 Posts)
I'm starting this thread as I've had largely positive experiences of health visitors and I'm horrified by the thread claiming that you shouldn't let them in your home. Thought it would be good to share positive experiences of health visitors and tips on how to resolve any issues if you have had them with health visitors (for example, how to change health visitor).
When I've received bad advice off a health visitor (and this has only happened once or twice), I've often found phoning the health visitor team for more advice a day or two later has really helped.
I think as with everything there are some good, some bad. My sister had one that made her so paranoid she scrubbed her hands red raw, however she had another who was the only person to pick up on her postnatal depression and get a lot of help put in place for her.
16 years ago I had the most amazing hv who helped me through a very difficult time.
I was a teenage mum and suffered a huge bereavement. The support and advice she offered was invaluable.
She made a huge difference to my life.
My HV was great, she broadly left me to it but gently reminded me not to be a martyr (I'm disabled and was quite ill following DSs birth but I was also stubbornly independent.) She was really helpful researching specialist stuff she didn't know and offering to get me access to all sorts of stuff. Also really helpful when DS went through night terrors at quite a young age - which was a terrifying experience.
My HV is great - she generally lets me get on with things but is happy to offer information and advice. I am 31 weeks with DC3 and have had the same HV with all 3 DC. She is even better on a personal level as, prior to becoming a HV, she was a NICU nurse and with my DC coming early and starting out in NICU, she has been great in knowing what to do and when to adjust the age and when not to.
I am looking forward to catching up with her next month when she is coming round to fill in the paper work prior to DC arriving - unless DC arrives sooner!
My HV is fantastic. She is really knowledgeable and up-to-date. She makes me smile and feel like I'm being a good Mum. She was very supportive when I was relactating. Just lovely.
I am an exHV and I think there are good and bad as in any profession. However, in the past 15-20 years (I can only really comment on the last 15) there seems to have been a marked disagreement about what HVs should be doing. So in some areas they will do all baby clinics and development checks while in others they do the clinics very rarely and development checks have been phased out......until they are just as quickly phased back in. Nobody knows what they should be doing.....least of all the HVs.
So my role as a HV became less and less attractive as I realised what I really wanted to do was Family Support which I had less and less time to do.
I wanted to be able to drop everything when a Mum phoned me in tears...I wanted to be able to hold the baby so she could go for a shower and freshen up. I wanted to help deal with debt issues and behaviour issues...and that's what I did until the powers that be decided I couldn't do that anymore and would only see families where there were Child Protection issues.
Anyway I digress , my own HV was fantastic and so so supportive when I was in the depths of PND. She was literally phoning me daily at one point to see how the night had been etc...she was fabulous and I don't think I ever had any dodgy advice from her. Quite literally she was a lifeline for me at a horrendous time.
As for me, I am now a Parent Supporter on a voluntary basis with a few hours of extra paid work each week. It's much more what I went I to health visiting to do but was stopped from doing.
And for anyone who wants to change their HV, just write to "Community Matron, Children and Family Services c/o your local PCT. It will get where it should
Mine was great. Relaxed, gave good advice for me and baby, approachable and told me what worked for her children too as well as other women. She supported my bf and scowled when I told her another hv had indicated ds would need to be hospitalised due to
normal weight loss. Saw her for a couple of ds's vaccinations and hopefully will see her in around ten weeks time when dc2 arrives. I couldn't have had a better experience, and feel gutted for the women on here who have experienced some truly nasty and horrid health visitors. It made such a difference to me, to have someone tell me I was doing ok whilst mil couldn't wait for me to mess up
My HV was great. Very down to earth and knew each child was an individual and that they do things differently at different times etc.
Mine was especially helpful in helping us to get the GP's to re-listen to our concerns about DS2's health and she suggested possible reasons for his vomiting and runny bum for 1.5 yrs. She was massively supportive.
Mine was amazing. Down to earth, friendly, made me feel listened to and gave me a lovely confidence boost when I needed it. She had years of experience behind her, so always had a helpful "tip" to share - she'd never directly give advice, just say something like "I was at a house last week where the mum did XYZ to get her little one to sleep..." and I'd think "great, I'll try that!". I read some of the HV threads on here with horror and feel really grateful for my experience.
It has been over 25 years since I needed an HV. Mine was great. There seemed to be a general lack of respect for her because she never had any kids, that used to annoy me. I remember when my baby was maybe about 1 month old and he just wouldn't sleep. I was soooo tired. She called in, took one look, wrapped him really tight in his blanket (I had never mastered that) and he slept for hours. She was always available and so kind too. I now deal with the next generation of HV's as I foster and I have never had any problems. They are informed and helpful and interested.
DD had a difficult start in life and I was unable to take her to the clinic because of her medical issues. My HV was wonderfully supportive and helpful and helped me through a difficult time and gave me lots of sensible advice.
I also had a wonderful midwife and a brilliant community nurse.
My HV is lovely. She is completely supportive of everything I do and gives advice in a wonderful and friendly manner rather than he condescending tone that others seem to use.
Bumping thread - there must be more people with nice HV stories to share?!
My HV was a REAL person - very much professional yet also humble-spirited and never bossy or interfering.
My first interaction involved early baby check where she noticed the start of eczema mixed with normal dry skin - I had just thought it was part of his dry and fragile skin so had only been using moisturiser. She arranged (with my permission) to see the GP who organised steroid cream which nipped it in the bud immediately.
The next encounter was at the 6 week check when I was on my knees with exhaustion. She gentle and unobtrusively suggested I might want to consider trying a sleep routine to differentiate between day and night more easily. I was sceptical as I thought anyhow routine-orientated would go against my "live each hour at a time" and "go with the flow" mentality, but I gave it a go and was amazed by how it immediately made a difference to DS's ability to settle and sleep. That was GOLD-DUST for us!
I also had problems with DS refusing to stop feeding and the HV once again very kindly suggested that he would be requiring comfort rather than actual food for a lot of his one on the breast, and offered helpful guidelines for how long I can expect to feed and how to offer comfort in a different way that might work instead.
It's no good saying that family can always be there to teach a new parent, as no-one in my family had a forceps delivery and ever experienced a baby with such bruising and tearing on his little head.
Likewise its not always straightforward to research yourself as the experts in literature often say different things - on the one hand saying that if a baby demands feeds morning noon and night then you have to give it no matter how debilitating to the Mum .... and on the other hand (another extreme) saying ignore a babies cry unless it's been 3 hours since the last feed!
When my DH had an accident involving taking DS to A&E, staff warned us hat they have to routinely inform GP/HV and that we can expect contact get we get home. If a person were to be paranoid then they'd have to include not attending A&E as staff have to share details with other agencies!!!!!
My HV followed up the incident with a phone call saying that she knew everything was ok with us, but has to call to just say that she's touched base with us as it is the policy. She was short and sweet, apologetic and by no means questioning, and it was entirely reasonable.
When it became evident that my DS had reflux (again, no one in my family or circle of friends had any experience of this to fall back on), my HV was quick to organise a prescription from the GP without my need to make an appointment. From what I've read about (silent) reflux his symptoms were very hidden and not particularly text-book so even if I had read up about it before giving birth it might not have been obvious. The prescription made a difference though and life was more bearable for everyone involved.... thanks to a very efficient HV!
It's like all walks in life - you get some people who excel at their jobs and others who are burnt out or just unsuitable for that line of work. I guess HV's are no exception to this norm. But if you were going to start getting paranoid about it then you'd never go to a hospital, bank, insurance company, shop or take a flight anywhere as rude and obstructive people are in all walks of life! Luckily not ALL of the people ALL of the time though
The bank generally doesn't come into your house with the ability to do child protection referrals though so that's a bit of a bonkers analogy to draw.
Ah but Miaow, EVERYONE has the ability to do child protection referrals...not just HVs. A assuming your experience of your one was not positive though.
Another wonderful experience with HV'ds here. Really supportive with difficult BF especially for DC1, running the local baby cafe and always being approachable, sensible, non-judgemental & giving appropriate advice re: feeding, weaning etc. I feel like they really "know" our family.
Miow - sounds like you missed the point. Bankers are people, some good and some not so good. Just because you meet one who is rude or pushy doesn't mean you have to avoid all bankers. I hope that explains it for you
To be fair it sounds like Miaow has had a crappy experience. Am sure she knows only too well about the good and bad in any profession.
My own HV was very good and really supportive to me at a difficult time.She spent ages with me trying to help me get breast feeding going...without success. DS appeared to have no coordination....5 years later he was diagnosed with dyspraxia, then autism at 7 which made the early feeding issues make sense to me.
There are good and there are bad. I've had two lovely ones and one nightmare so far. The nightmare was after dc2 and she was just the most patronising self important woman ive ever met. Thankfully she has now left and I have another lovely lady for dc3.
Good hv make you feel like you can ring to ask questions, not be judged and access help if you need it. Bad ones you generally can't wait for them to go and leave you alone (preferably before you do or say something you may later regret!)
The only bankers I tend to meet are ones with little keypads you push that dispense money... things with buttons that dispense money are welcome to come to my house - hell I'll even make them a cup of tea.
Haha - gotta love your humour!

Fifty years ago today [March 16, 2016] was an exciting and busy day at Cape Canaveral, Florida. But it would turn into a type of excitement that NASA and the entire Gemini space program would have preferred to avoid.
March 16, 1966 was to mark an important milestone for Project Gemini and in the history of space flight over all. If the day's events went well, the Gemini 8 crew of commander Neil Armstrong and pilot David Scott would achieve the first ever docking in space, between their Gemini spacecraft and an orbiting Agena target vehicle.
"Gemini 8 was a crucial step in terms of docking," said Greg Brown, a historical interpreter at the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio, where the Gemini 8 spacecraft resides.
"Everybody was happy. Champagne corks popped and cigars were lit. The astronauts had been trained that if anything went wrong or got squirrely during the docking, the problem was probably with the Agena."
But that was not how it turned out.

Dan Marino Foundation Starting College for Special Needs Students
The Dan Marino Foundation, a fixture in South Florida since 1992, has recently announced plans to start a college for those with autism and other
special needs. According to a Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel article published last month, the school will be the first-of-its-kind in Florida and assist those with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other related disorders.
With building space already purchased in downtown Fort Lauderdale, The Dan Marino Foundation Florida Vocational College will cater to students, ages 18 to 28, and open its doors in the fall of 2013.
As a resident of South Florida, this is certainly heartening news and will be a great addition to the community. The Dan Marino Foundation has maintained a great reputation over the years and was launched shortly after Marino's son was diagnosed with autism at 2-years-old. The Dan Marino Center, which is part of the larger Foundation, holds special significance to me personally — it's where my son was first diagnosed with autism back in 2005.
As for Marino's son, he's since graduated from college himself and is currently working as a DJ in Florida. Despite having many challenges at an early age, he's been able to far exceed expectations that were made for him at the time of his diagnosis nearly twenty years ago.

It's National Peanut Butter Day!
I love me some peanut butter. Did you know that it is most excellent on vanilla ice cream? It's true. When I was a kid there was a chubby little girl in my neighborhood who sometimes would play with me and my little brother. And one day my mum gave us ice cream. And Chubby Girl asked, "do you have any peanut butter?" And my mum was all, "yeah…?" and then Chubby Girl put it on her ice cream. My mother and I were appalled. How disgusting. Who the hell does that? But you know, Chubby Girl was right. She saw the future. And it tasted good. She was a goddamned visionary. Right on, Chubby Girl.
Of course, it's this PB&IC that has made me Chubby Girl, too. But it is So. Damn. Good.
But I digress. In honor of this most special of days I am sharing 2 recipes from the archive that showcase both the best and the worst that can come out of a jar of Jif.
I love peanut butter and I am a sucker for any recipe that has a superlative in its name: deluxe, luscious, spectacular, impossible, amazing–so it's no surprise that I was drawn to Peanut Butter Special from Better Homes & Gardens Cooking for Two.
Also, the chapter was titled "Sandwiches–Good for a Twosome." But we all know that sandwiches are best for a threesome (ba-da-dum ching! I'll be here all week! Try the veal!).
Yeah, so Peanut Butter Special. It's a peanut butter sandwich. So what is it that makes it so frickin' special? Seems standard: an apple, and some applesauce and…
BACON. Frickin' bacon. Who knew that in 1977 Better Homes & Gardens predicted that bacon would be so ubiquitous in highbrow and lowbrow cuisine come the second decade of the 21st century?
So I did as I was told and I mixed in some crunchy bacon bits to the peanut butter and applesauce and spread it on margarine-topped, Granny Smith apple-lined Wonder Bread.
Shit, this was insanely rich. I think the strongest flavor was margarine (it did say to butter bread generously). This sandwich was so wrong texturally, as well. It was soft bread, soft spread, apple crunch and bacon chew simultaneously. I'm a fan of crunchy peanut butter but the fact that the bacon was chewy yet charred was quite unnerving.
And none of the flavors really melded, so it was the same with the taste. It was like a carousel of flavors. Each chew went like this: Wonder Bread! Margarine! Peanut Butter! Apple! Bacon! The applesauce never screamed at me, however.
Anyway, this wasn't good. I only got through 1/2 of the sandwich. And although this was a dinner designed for two, I'd never serve this to anyone. Unless I hated them.
Now, onto Frank Wrap-Ups and Nutty Pups from my 1963 first edition of Barbecues and Picnics from the Better Homes & Gardens Creative Cooking Library. Surprise! It's a new favorite for all ages!
Yes, you read that right: hot dog + dill relish + bacon + peanut butter.
So I got my ingredients out. I made a back up set of Frank Wrap-Ups that were stuffed with American cheese. You know, just in case the Nutty Pups were as bad as the aforementioned Peanut Butter Special.
Survey says?
Shit. BH&G, you got me. You win. These were delicious.
I ate a hot dog with chunky peanut butter on it.
And liked it.
But of course, I never thought that peanut butter would be good on ice cream. So that proves that I know nothing about anything.
Happy National Peanut Butter Day, my darlings! Go get all Skippy n' at.
*Editor's note: My attorney has expressed concern that you, gentle readers, may be offended by my liberal use of the phrase "Chubby Girl" in this post. If you are offended, my apologies. But really, if you are offended by such content, then I don't know why you'd still be reading my blog. I know I've said a hell of a lot worse. XOXO

Transocean to build third drillship
Transocean Inc. (NYSE:RIG) says that Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX ) has awarded it a drilling contract for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship, the third such contract award for Transocean in 2006 and the second contract award from Chevron, following a five-year contract for the construction of the Discoverer Clear Leader announced in March 2006.
Chevron has awarded Transocean a five-year contract, but has the right to convert the contract to a duration of three years if declared by September 2007.
The contract is expected to commence during the first quarter of 2010, following shipyard construction, sea trials, mobilization to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and customer acceptance.
The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors.
Revenues which could be generated over a five-year contract period are approximately $862 million, or approximately $609 million should the contract be converted to a duration of three years.
Estimated contract revenues exclude revenues for mobilization, demobilization, customer reimbursables and adjustments for the escalation of operating costs at contract commencement and semi-annually thereafter.
Construction of the dynamically positioned, double-hull drillship is scheduled to take place at the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. yard in Okpo, South Korea, where the two previously announced enhanced Enterprise-class drillships will be constructed.
The estimated total capital expenditure for the unit is approximately $670 million, excluding capitalized interest. The rig will feature Transocean's patented dual-activity drilling technology, allowing for parallel drilling operations designed to save time and money in deepwater well construction, compared with conventional rigs. The dual-activity technology, along with a new and enhanced top drive system, an expanded high-pressure mud-pump system, expanded completions capabilities and other unique features of the drillship target the drilling of wells up to 40,000 feet of total depth.
The rig will have a variable deckload of more than 20,000 metric tons while having the capability of drilling in water depths of up to 12,000 feet.

Here were are with another manic Monday although I hear this past weekend was a lot of fun, especially with the "homecoming" of Nan and Mac at Karaoke at Rumors. I understand they had a packed house and the owner of Rumors, Jeanne, had left this comment: "Yep…the News about our Entertainment Schedule at Rumors IS Correct! We're very happy to Welcome Back Mac n Nan for Karaoke, starting THIS Saturday the 21st! They will be at Rumors on Tuesday (Nan's Line Dance Class @ 4:30) & Saturday Nights from 6 – 10! THIS Friday, the 20th 2 AM Band will be joining us to Kick Off their move to Rumors, from 6 – 10, then Thursday Nights starting next week! We are excited to have them in the house! Denny Flannigan will be performing on Friday Nights and will host this season's first "Name That Tune". I'm very happy to hear we've got Name that Tun back! On Friday nights in town, The Baja Boys are at La Vaquita Restaurante, some times featuring our own Sam Grubb, singing songs from his album, which I've already told you is for sale for a song and all funds go towards helping the animals.
It looks like the federal government in Mexico has taken an interest in Baja California to help us with out economy. Mexican President Felipe Calderon was in Tijuana Friday, where he signed a decree eliminating import duties on 200 products. "In an action aimed at increasing the competitiveness of the Baja California region, President Felipe Calderón came to Tijuana on Friday and launched the Strategic Economic Zone by eliminating import duties on 200 products. The move comes after years of clamor from the state's business and political leaders. They have argued that Baja California businesses lose many Mexican consumers who are enticed across the border to stores with greater variety and lower prices. "This will allow Mexican businesses to offer imported products at much more attractive prices, and this way we will fortify economic activity and generate more jobs for our people," Calderón said during an outdoor ceremony held just yards from the San Ysidro border crossing." They don't expect everyone will stop crossing the border to shop, but it's a start at lowering taxes to bring in the goods to sell in Mexico, thereby lowering the price to the consumer.

Because special codes are needed to register in any of the departmental courses (to confirm students' eligibility), pre-registration is required for each semester and summer session. Departmental pre-registration may be done by e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com), or in person.
Phone-Assisted Enrollment (PA'E)
All registration is done by a telephone system called PA`E which in Hawaiian means "to strike the ear, as a distant sound." The UH meaning is Phone-Assisted Enrollment, and functions as a voice-response computer system that allows the registrants to use a touch-tone telephone as a terminal. Payments may be made by providing PA`E with the MasterCard or VISA number and the account expiration date. This is the most efficient way to complete the registration process. It is also possible to pay in person at the Cashier's Office during the announced hours, and by the well-advertised deadlines. Non-payment on time automatically cancels the registration. The phone number for registration (PA`E) is 296-6723.
Registration on the Internet is now possible, at http://www.pae.hawaii.edu/. PA`E on the Web has all the features of the touch-tone phone system, plus: a. complete instructions for each option can be seen at one time, and b. registration schedule and payment information may be printed.

Real Madrid footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken about fatherhood for the first time.
And his comments may surprise those who regard him as just another pampered millionaire sportsman.
The 25-year-old says that being a dad has made him more responsible and that he's not afraid to lend a hand with the less favourable aspects of parenting.
"Of course I change the nappies," he told Spanish sports paper Marca. "It's not the thing I like best in the world, but I do it."
Of his new role as a father, he adds: "Of course something like this affects you. It's a different type of responsibility."

Congress Votes Against Bankruptcy Modification
By Mark Markus | December 11, 2009
Today the U.S. House of Representatives voted against legislation that would have allowed homeowners to modify their loans on a principal residence in a bankruptcy case (Chapter 13). This is at least the second time this amendment has come up for vote, and this time only 50 democrats voted in favor. Thus, the bankruptcy law remains unchanged on this issue. Loans against a principal residence cannot be modified in a bankruptcy case (except that in some circumstances–and only in some districts– a junior lien may be removed if and only if the value of the property is less than the amount owed to the 1st mortgage).
If you want to know how your Member of Congress voted today, go to http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll963.xml. If you want to compare your Representative's vote today with that on H.R. 1106, go to http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll104.xml to see their earlier vote. Of course, there were a number of variables associated with today's vote that were not a factor in the earlier vote, particularly given that Members also were being asked to vote against the banks by supporting the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA).

In a handful of states, one part of the campaign formula for 2014 Senate candidates is the same for Republicans and Democrats — take a hard line against the Environmental Protection Agency.
Republicans are renewing their attacks from last campaign season, saying the Obama administration is waging a "war on coal" and fossil fuels in general in energy-producing states where that message is tied to jobs and the economic health of many communities.
Many conservative lawmakers up for re-election in 2014 slammed proposed EPA emissions rules for new and existing coal-fired power plants last month at a coal industry-sponsored rally in Washington.
"This fight has just begun. We are not giving up. We are going to push back against these people in every single way we can. We are going to stop this war on coal," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said at the rally. McConnell is facing a tough fight from Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky's Democratic secretary of state.
The EPA and the Obama administration's climate policies will be in focus for Democrats, whose candidates in some races are already attempting to distance themselves from the White House on energy issues.
"I am deeply disappointed in today's EPA ruling," Grimes said when the agency floated the regulations on Sept. 20. "Yet again President Obama's administration has taken direct aim at Kentucky jobs."
But whether the war on coal strategy will work for Republicans remains questionable. The tactic fell flat during Mitt Romney's failed 2012 presidential bid, as Obama swept key coal-heavy states Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia despite Romney's active campaigning on the issue.
Green groups point to Democratic Virginia Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe's victory Tuesday as proof the war on coal message isn't a winner, as conservative GOP candidate Ken Cuccinelli slammed Obama's EPA in an attempt to lock up support from the state's southwest coal-mining region.
Cuccinelli, Virginia's attorney general, did win that region, but his percentage of the vote there slipped compared with outgoing Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell's share in 2009. And Cuccinelli lost Montgomery County — home to the historic Merrimac mining community — to McAuliffe, despite McDonnell taking it by 10 percentage points four years ago.
Assessing the impact of the war on coal message in that region is complicated because of all the other issues that plagued Cuccinelli's campaign, said Michael McDonald, an associate professor of political science at George Mason University. That includes allegations that Cuccinelli's office improperly advised a pair of natural gas firms.
But as Democrats have gradually embraced the nexus of energy and climate change in the political sphere, Republicans continue to deny or remain skeptical of the effect burning fuel has on a warming planet. Green groups have played on that, calling conservatives out of touch.
"Increasingly we're seeing across the country that these same old attacks that would have been successful years ago are falling flat," said Jeff Gohringer, a spokesman with the League of Conservation Voters, an environmental group that backed McAuliffe.
For many of the red-leaning states in play in 2014, however, there's nary a mention of climate change from either Republicans or Democrats.
To be sure, many of those states have long expressed an anti-regulatory zeal. They include Alaska, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia. All except one of those states — Kentucky — are home to an incumbent Democrat.
While such states have a trend of producing the more centrist variety of Democrat, a raft of new EPA regulations ranging from power plant emissions to automobiles could endanger their electoral hopes.
The power plant regulations have proven a convenient scapegoat for the ills that plague coal country, though that sickness started years ago and has been exacerbated by newfound domestic supplies of cheap natural gas.
Kentucky's 6th congressional district election in 2012 is instructive in how candidates need to play the state, said Stephen Voss, an associate professor of political science at the University of Kentucky.
That pitted incumbent Democrat Ben Chandler against a relatively unknown Republican challenger, Andy Barr, in a district that had been redrawn to favor Chandler.
But Barr won the race.
"The issue Barr used was this argument about Obama harming Kentucky with anti-coal policies," Voss said. "The coal issue flipped some voters into the Republican column who otherwise might not have gone there."
West Virginia also has flipped in recent years. A state with a strong union history that has sent many Democrats to Washington, it's now likely to turn red partly because of the perceived threat from Obama's EPA and broader Democratic goals of combating climate change through curbing carbon emissions.
Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito is leading in the race so far for the state's open Senate seat. She served as a sort of emcee for the Washington coal rally in October and has blasted the new power plant rules, saying the action from EPA "strikes at the core of West Virginia."
Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., has taken aim at the EPA as well, co-sponsoring several bills to restrain its reach — particularly with how it administers a biofuel blending mandate known as the Renewable Fuel Standard.
That's a winning strategy in Arkansas, said Janine Parry, a professor and the Arkansas poll director at the University of Arkansas.
"[O]ur antipathy in recent election cycles is focused like a laser beam on President Obama," she said in an email.
And in Alaska, Democratic Sen. Mark Begich has had to fend off attacks from the National Republican Senatorial Committee on EPA issues. Conservative group American Energy Alliance, which also hit Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., also has gone after Begich.
Begich, who is a strong supporter of expanded oil and gas production, hasn't given a full-throated endorsement of the EPA emissions rules. Instead, he has worked with power providers in Alaska to ensure the regulations wouldn't hurt their generating units.
"People know where I am on energy issues in Alaska," Begich said. "I find it somewhat humorous when people come to Alaska from outside and they want to run these ads and say I'm against energy. I mean, are you kidding me?"

This past week we have been digging and landscaping and making a mess and fixing. Basically we have been busy making an absolute mess at my place. It's one of those messes you have to make to clean up a pre-existing mess. You know the ones that you never want to do because you know that the mess is about to get even bigger and more messy. I struggle with this kind of stuff. I like everything to be neat and ordered. But if there is a bit of a mess, well I really hate having to deal with it because it always means more mess. But I need to try and remember that the end result is going to be better and neater and then the mess, at least in that particular spot, will be dealt with. I'm like that with my cupboards too.
So, 3 years ago, when we first moved into our brand new little tin house with the pointy roof, I knew that some landscaping would be in order. I knew that I hadn't had the driveway properly done and I knew that I would have to sort out the back section of my place. But time went on and on and on and my to do list got bigger and bigger until all of a sudden we've been living here for 3 years and it still hasn't been done. Oh, and by now, the driveway had big gouges in it from the rain washing it away and became virtually unusable.
Thankfully, Pete is a doer and doesn't enjoy procrastinating half as much as I do. He pushed me, in a good way, to deal with the mess once and for all. Bite the bullet stuff.
So I did.
My lovely friend has a partner who is a wiz on a bob cat so we enlisted his help to dig and scoop and make a huge big muddy mess of the back…and then fix it all up and make it all smooth and nice and level and useable. And then we got 3 truck loads of blue metal and spread it all around the place. We also built some retaining walls, a home for Mabel, some garden beds and edging out of rail way sleepers to match the rest of my garden. Pete has not stopped working. He worked on it all weekend and everyday after work. I helped a little bit and so did Lew and Josh but Pete was, hands down, the worker of the week. Oh, and Lige, the bob cat wiz, of course.
I'll show you the process so far.
the start of the mess making
a hard working, handsome rugged guy who didn't stop with the crow bar and shovel
I hesitate to show you my washing hanging on the line and the crappy little messy patch down there to the left but here it is (that messy patch is about to be sorted next)
then the blue metal arrived and needed to be spread
and then it all looked lovely!
The bank on the southern side of the house got some more topsoil and a new railway timber edging. I will be planting it all out ….finally!
I pulled out the silver birch that were on the top of the bank as they were struggling there. I moved them to the clothesline area where a fair bit of water runs. The top will be planted out in Manchurian pears (probably) and more purple prunus (some are already in place).
Can you see where I put the silver birch? Hopefully they'll be happier there. The upright ornamental pears I plants on the top of the bank are doing OK.
Mabel's new home. I'll pop fruit trees up on the topside of her (I had to move a few as they were in the way of her home) and hopefully a pretty little French parterre garden in the front of her … box hedge, lavender, thyme, that sort of thing I'm thinking.
I put apples and box hedge on the western side of the house, in the new garden bed. I've always hated this end of the house because it was never finished. My gas delivery guy is already freaking out about me putting a garden bed around my gas bottles but they are so flipping ugly. What do you do?
So that's the main part done and dusted.I've still got a lot of planting out to do. That's the bit I really love. I've been all over the internet looking up more trees and roses and plants and I'm popping into a lovely and extremely generous, friend's place on Friday to get some of her roses. i even dragged out my garden diary for this place which I noticed hadn't been written in since June, 2014! But, I'm feeling like my gardening mojo is finally back. Let's hope it stays. At least until the planting is finished and the mulch is all down.
So the main digging and landscaping and making a mess and fixing has finished. Now for the planting and prettying up. The good bit.
