text: I've recently bought a new external USB-HDD so I went to check the compatibility list in the wiki for the usbloader. I knew it was there, but just to make sure. Checking the list I've found that no one has tested the Homebrew part, so I scroll to the begining to read the instructions to perform the test and see if it works. Acording to the wiki, these are the instructions: Non-Linux based Homebrew: So I download the USB mass storage device tester from the web (is something like usbtest.elf) and following the instructions I try to launch the application from HBC (previously renaming the file.elf to boot.elf and copying it to /apps/usbtest folder). When I load the HBC it displays all the apps and also the new one I've copied but if I try to run it, it tells me that is not a valid Wii application. Do I need something special to make it run? Does it run from another place and not launching via HBC? Mi Wii is on version 4.0 patched with HBC 1.0.1 and cIOS 38 rev 14. I'm also using usbloader gx without problem as well as MPlayer CE (they detect the HDD without problem)

Are you sure the userspace ppp implimentation can do that? I use NAT over my DSL, and only one of the boxes inside my net can ping out at the same time. It's not a ppp issue, and I'd be surprised if using a different ppp made it work. :-) The problem is that NAT doesn't support it. Hmmm.... I just tried it, and now it works! I thought it didn't used to. Either I misremembered, or it's been fixed. All my machines are running 1.5. If it really works with userland ppp (which I thought was a downgrade from 1.5's ppp) but not kernel ppp, then there's a ppp bug. Take care, Bill

Episode 92 – STEM in Primary Classrooms
As the Common Core State Standards in Math and English Language Arts are being adopted and implemented in classrooms nationwide, educators have been wondering if there will be any room left for science – especially for younger students. When we caught wind of a growing movement to increase STEM content in Minnesota elementary schools, we knew we had to investigate. Listen this week as we talk with Doug Paulson – STEM Integration Specialist for the Minnesota Department of Education. Doug gives us insight into Minnesota's statewide initiative to increase STEM content in primary classrooms.
- Star Tribune article on early childhood science and STEM
- Minnesota's Standards Based Resource to Support K-12 STEM Teachers
- Annual Elementary Engineering Conference in Minnesota
- Minnesota Early Education Indicators to support pre-K programs

Did you grow up reading books? Are there any particular books you read as a child that you have fond memories of? Our staff members definitely have such books. Here are our favorite children's novels:
|Watership Down by Richard Adams
|By Michelle
|I remember reading it when I was very young, and then I read it again more recently. Both times I absolutely loved it. It's one of those rare children's books that you can revisit repeatedly and still get something new out of the experience. It's not merely a children's tale about talking rabbits; it's a work of heroic fantasy that draws on classical texts such as Homer's Odyssey and explores darker themes such as war, tyranny, reason vs. blind emotion, and the repression of the individual by the state. The animated movie wasn't bad either, but I think I horrified my peers with it as a child. It was a little more violent than the stuff Disney put out.
|There's a Witch Under the Stairs by Maggie Smith
|By Rebecca
|While it isn't actually a novel, this children's picture book was beautifully written and illustrated. One of the first fantasies I've ever read, this book was definitely responsible for sparking my imagination to expand beyond the text of the story and to imagine more details. I wouldn't be the fantasy-loving aspiring author I am today if it wasn't for that book. And unlike many sources of fond childhood memories, this one is still great to revisit as an adult.
|The Lost Years of Merlin by T.A. Barron
|By Garrett
|There are many children's novels I enjoyed, like the Jedi Apprentice series by Jude Watson and the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. But if I have to choose just one, I'll go with T.A. Barron's The Lost Years of Merlin series. While not my introduction to Arthurian literature, the series filled in that gap of Merlin's childhood and teenage years that is missing in most every other tale. I also blame these books for jump-starting my fantasy addiction. These books mean so much to me even after all these years—every couple of years or so, I go back and reread them. Merlin and the Isle of Fincayra will always be there to help me escape back to my childhood for a short time.
|Redwall by Brian Jacques, illustrated by Gary Chalk
|By Michael
|I haven't read, touched or even seen a copy of Brian Jacques' Redwall since I read it in primary school, but I remember being absolutely enchanted.
|How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell
|By Stephan
|Confession: I absolutely hated reading as a kid. As a result, I didn't read many books until I was a teenager. I went back and read some of them recently, though, including How to Train Your Dragon—because that animated film was absolutely amazing. The book isn't as good as the film, if you ask me, but it's still good enough to get my vote.
What's your favorite children's novel? Let us know in the comments below!

London's leading housing, regeneration and infrastructure network
Future of London is an independent policy network connecting the Capital's regeneration, housing, infrastructure and economic development professionals. A key aspect of our work is helping to prepare the next wave of London leaders in challenging times. The network includes nearly 3,000 professionals, 315 Leaders Alumni and 80 organisations, who use us as a hub for best practice, connections and sector intelligence.
Our purpose is to share best practice and build skills, knowledge and networks amongst our public-sector members and private-sector partners.
Our members include local authorities, housing associations, Transport for London and the Greater London Authority (Planning and Housing & Land), and our partners are leaders in the built-environment and policy arenas across London and the South East.
Our content is practical – the 'how' over the 'why' – and includes delivery-focused reports, engaging events and our bespoke Leaders programmes, which host 60 candidates and 60 senior mentors each year.
Our approach is to involve people from all levels of our network directly in Future of London projects, for 'in the round' programmes that are relevant and immediately useful.
Our structure – an independent not-for-profit with a strong board, steering group and associate base – means we're able to respond nimbly to the issues shaping the Capital's future; to explore member and partner ideas; and to act on broader issues as we're doing with our Diversity Speakers' Network.
Our core funding comes from membership and course fees, while grants and sponsorship help cover the cost of major projects and allow us to provide events and reports free of charge.
Membership in Future of London is open to local authorities, housing associations, LEPs, BIDs, trusts and other public bodies, and we've just introduced an SME membership which small businesses can apply for. Access to the full range of Future of London events is exclusive to full members. To learn about becoming a member or a project sponsor, please see here.
Given the capital's ongoing funding and capacity challenges, it's more important than ever to share best practice, nurture innovative thinking, and invest in the next wave of leaders. Join the Future of London network, and strengthen your own organisation.
Future of London's work includes:
- Our acclaimed Future London Leaders and Leaders Plus professional development programmes
- Our Housing Zones Network, designed to support teams delivering these ambitious initiatives
- Practitioner-focused events and field trips throughout the year
- Regular reports on the debates dominating the London landscape

Warrington Welcome: Human Library
What is Human Library?
The Human Library is an innovative and interactive diversity learning initiative where staff, faculty, and community members volunteer as human "books" to share their stories of hardship and resilience with first-year student "readers" in a small group setting. Readers and books engage in personal dialogue about their experiences, in order to foster understanding, challenge stereotypes, reduce prejudice, and celebrate diversity.
"The Human Library works exactly like a normal library; readers come and borrow a Book for a limited period of time. The only difference; the Books in the Human Library are living, (human beings) and the Books and readers enter into a personal dialogue. The Books in the Human Library are people representing groups frequently confronted with prejudices and stereotypes, and are often victims of discrimination or social exclusion. A Book is a person who has volunteered to challenge prejudice through respectful conversation. In the Human Library, Books cannot only speak, but they are able to reply to the readers' questions and can ask questions themselves." (Human Library Organizers Guide)
Human Library at UF Vocabulary
- Reader:
- First-year college students enrolled in the Heavener School of Business's Warrington Welcome course.
- Book:
- Anyone willing to share their story with and embrace difficult questions from a small group of readers.
Human Library Examples and Resources
UF Human Library 2017 will take place...
- Wednesday, February 22: 11:45am-6:00pm, Reitz Union Rion Ballroom
- Friday, July 28: 10:00am-5:45pm, Emerson Alumni Hall
- Thursday, October 26: 10:40am-7:05pm, Reitz Union Grand Ballroom

Peter Blue Cloud – The Cry
From Wiki:
Peter Blue Cloud (Aroniawenrate) (born 1935 – 2011) was a Mohawk poet, and folklorist. He was born on the Caughnawaga Reserve in Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada and died in Montreal on April 27, 2011.
In the late 1950's, he traveled to California, where he was employed as an ironworker in the Bay Area. After quitting the iron, he worked as a logger with the Haida people in the Queen Charlotte Islands of British Columbia, as a ranch hand in the vicinity of Susanville, California, and doing archaeological field work with the Paiute people of Pyramid Lake, Nevada.
He lived for some time at the Maidu Bear Dance grounds near Janesville, Ca, where he absorbed the stories and teachings of Maidu elders, and where some of his first creations as a carver and sculptor emerged.
Moving back to the Bay Area, he discovered the Beat poetry and folk music scenes, and the social and political upheaval of the 60's. There he continued to develop his talents as a poet, sculptor, carver and painter, collaborated with other Native artists and writers, and participated in art exhibitions.
While an artist in many genres, Blue Cloud is most known for his writing. He published several books of poetry and his poems appear in numerous anthologies and journals.
It was all darkness and always had been.
There was nothing there forever.
Creation was a tiny seed
awaiting a dream.
The dream came to be
because of the cry.
A howling cry which was
an echo in the emptiness of nothing.
The cry was very lonely and
caused the dream to
turn over in its sleep.
The dream did not want to awaken,
but the crying would not stop.
Well, thought the dream, opening its mind,
so now I am awake and there is something.
The dream floated above itself
and looked into its mind.
It wanted to see what the cry was.
What it saw was a dream
within its own dreaming.
And that other dream was Creation.
And Creation was the cry
seeking to begin something,
but it didn't know what,
and that is why it cried.
So the original dream lifted
the Creation dream from its mind
and set it free.
Then it went to the other end of nothing
and let itself go back
to dreamless sleep.
Creation floated all over the nothing,
dreaming of all the things it would do.
Its dreaming was interrupted
often by crying.
So, it wasn't me crying after all,
Creation thought.
Then it thought again,
but it is me because I dreamed it.
So, I have begun Creation with a cry.
When I begin to create the universe,
I must remember to give the cry
a very special place.
I'll call the cry
Peter Blue Cloud

fl versatile artists portrayed the national dances of
H Italy, France, Holland, Egypt and the United
fl States and in short they provide the real novelty
H act of the bill.
I N these times of war, the natural demand in the
recreation field is for something amusing. "It
Pays to Advertise," which Cohan and Harris will
H present at the Salt Lake theatre December 19
fl and 20, is said to meet this demand. While it is
fl a business play and therefore appeals to men,
fl the plot is also romantic enough to win the en
fl thusiasm of the feminine portion of the audience.
fl The farce is by Rol Cooper Megrue and Walter
H Hackett.
fl MAY THE BEST LADY WIN
IN keeping with a custom as old as the govern
ment itself, the mistress of the White House
has always enjoyed the venerable distinction of
fl being considered the first lady of the land. This
fl fine old tradition has so fastened itself upon the
sentiments of the American people" that it has
fl been preserved in its entirety right down to the
B present day. By virtue of her position, the wife
B of the president becomes supreme in her sphero
B Qd dominates the social functions of official cir-
B cles'
B With few exceptions, the women who have oc
B cupied this exalted position have never been
B vexed by ambitious rivals. Officialdom frowns
H upon such rash undertakings and, besides, the.
B accepted social arbiter always enjoys the advan
B taBe of position. The rule has been that su
H premacy has been maintained, not through a re
sort to the powerful prerogatives at the disposal
of the first lady of the land, but by the exercise
of rare dignity and deference in the discharge
of the duties involved. Notable is the case of
Dolly Madison, who conquered official Washing
ton with the charm of her winning personality
and commanded the court circles through sheer
genius and the social graces.
It is said that the present mistress of the
White House is richly endowed with those rare
womanly qualities that have marked so many of
her distinguished predecessors. She is well
equipped to command by virtue of her own In
herent charms and calculative propensities, and
should be equal to any occasion. This is fortu
nate for she will soon be called upon to act a dif
ficult role.. A new order of things is likely to be
instituted in the social circles over which she
now holds sway and all Washington is agog over
the prospects.
The Lady from Montana will soon arrive upon
the scene. She is a personage to be reckoned
with. When she enters the halls of congress and
takes the oath of office a tradition dating back
to the birth of the republic will be shattered.
Miss Rankin is to all accounts a serious minded
person and the probabilities are that she will con
fine her activities to the business of represent
ing her people back home. Still there will bo the
observance of the official and social amenities
8 from which she cannot very well escape, were
she so inclined, and the problem will be to accord
her the proper recognition. The difficulties in
volved will depend largely upon the attitude as
sumed by the congresswoman herself. It may
be that she will waive all formalities and accept
whatever rank is accorded her. Then again, she
may take another view of the situation and if
she does she will upset all official calculations in
short order. For that is her style. When she
starts in a certain direction she always takes the
shortest cut. And if she happens to stumble upon
a precedent Bhe simply kicks it out of the way
and goes on about her business.
No wonder Washington is perplexed. But the
young lady from the plains has the winning west
ern ways about her and is entirely capable of
caring for herself. She expects no favors and
asks nothing but fair play. Officially, she will bo
the first lady of Washington. But what will her
social rank be? The situation is most delicate,
and holds extraordinary possibilities.
By Oscar Wilde.
Albeit nurtured in Democracy,
And liking best that state Republican
Where every man is Kinglike and no man
Is crowned above his fellows, yet I see,
Spite of this modern fret for Liberty,
Better the rule of one whom all obey,
Than to let clamorous demogogues betray
Our freedom with the kiss of anarchy.
Wherefore I love them not whose hands
Plant the red flag upon the piled up street
For no right cause, beneath whose ignorant
Arts, Culture, Reverence, Honor, all things
Save Treason and the dagger of her trade,
-Or Murder with his silent, bloody feet.
Art thou pale for weariness
Of clim'bing heaven, and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,
And ever-changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?

Sensitive Skin
My kids have unfortunately inherited my sensitive skin. I have had very sensitive skin since I was born. My mom could only use fragrance free laundry soap and regular soap on me when I was a child and now as an adult I can use some scented soaps and bubble baths but I make my own laundry soap because I react so badly to all others. I am finding that unscented or lightly scented goat milk's soaps work the best for me and for my kids.
My son does not have it as badly as my oldest daughter. He is not sensitive to bubble baths or laundry soap but he is sensitive to band aids and regular soap. Whenever he has a band aid on he reacts to it so we are now on the hunt for a band aid that won't cause the reaction.
My oldest daughter is just like me and a little worse when it comes to bubble baths. The girl loves bubble baths but can not have any scent in it what so ever. She is also very sensitive to algae. She kept breaking out after being in my moms pool over the summer and we could not figure out why. I talked to her doctor and he said it was most likely algae. It was so hot over the summer that they were having a hard time keeping up with the algae but once the got rid of it, she was fine. She is also the reason we started cloth diapering in the first place. We tried for six months to find a diaper that would not make her break out. Her rash would get so bad that she would have open sores so I finally said enough and switched to cloth. Best choice I could have made. Her skin cleared right up.
The two youngest girls are sensitive to disposable diapers but I am not sure what else yet. As they get older I am sure more things will come up but I am hoping that they might be more like their father and not have to deal with it.

Turning 40 is a significant milestone for anyone. Sean Wise, an assistant professor at Ryerson University's Ted Rogers School of Business Management, marked it with a life-changing idea. He created an iPhone app that connects doctors around the globe.
Doctor to Doctor (D2D) lets doctors in developing countries contact specialists in the developed world with the tap of a finger. A Ryerson media release quotes Wise, "It's Doctors Without Borders from your living room. Physicians can choose to be on call from their living room at anytime. It creates a list of those on call along with their first language, level of experience and expertise."
Doctors willing to volunteer at least 100 on-call hours receive a free, refurbished iPhone from Apple, via N2O (Need Second Opinion). N2O and Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto are partners in the joint venue.
The video is a bit rough, but look at it closely, and you'll get an idea of how this app works.

MARSHALL, Texas (AP) — A grand jury has indicted an East Texas man for allegedly killing his estranged wife in a case that has prompted a national campaign.
Brad Allen Dunn is charged with murder in the December stabbing death of Kari Dunn at a Marshall hotel. The 35-year-old was indicted Wednesday and is being held at the Harrison County jail on a $5 million bond.
Kari Dunn had taken her three children to visit Brad Dunn at the hotel when he allegedly dragged her into a bathroom and stabbed her. Her young daughter tried to call 911 but was unsuccessful, not realizing she had to first press 9.
Kari Dunn's family has launched a campaign to allow hotel guests to dial 911 without having to press another number for an outside line.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – A downed wire caused more than 5,000 customers in Virginia Beach to lose power overnight.
Bonita Harris with Dominion Virginia Power told WAVY.com the outage occurred around 4 a.m. after a wire went down at 890 Newtown Road. That downed wire was either caused by lightning or equipment failure and affected 5,359 customers, including two schools.
Power was restored to 5,147 customers in less than 30 minutes, however, more than 200 customers still had no power, including Newtown Elementary School.
Jennifer McCarrell with Virginia Beach Schools told WAVY.com Newtown Elementary had a generator. The school system had food services that could handle serving breakfast.
All power was restored by 9:30 a.m., Harris said.

Cox Communications crews on scene told WAVY.com the switch that was supposed to cut the power off when the wire went down malfunctioned. A 19,000 volt line was on the ground and put about a 20' hole in the asphalt. The asphalt was still smoking before 7 a.m.

At the beginning of the season, I would have said no. Appalachian State is a team that mirrored Georgia Southern's one-time domination of I-AA football and took it a step farther with three straight national championships.
The Mountaineers still have Armanti Edwards, the quarterback who engineered I-AA's greatest win ever when ASU shocked Michigan.
But this season, Appalachian seems a bit mortal. It needed overtime to beat The Citadel -- the team that just lost to Western Carolina – and rallied from 14 points back to beat Wofford.
The Eagles are coming off an easier than expected win over surprising Chattanooga.
The Mountaineers have superior talent, but what Southern lacks in talent it makes up with effort.
ASU beat GSU in overtime three years ago. The Eagles won by a field goal in Boone the next year.
Last year, ASU won by one point.
The teams meet again Saturday and the winner will have the inside track on at least a top-two finish in the Southern Conference.
Maybe it's GSU's turn in the highly competitive series. At the beginning of the season, I wouldn't have thought so.
Any thoughts?

One ad explains why Sen. Mark Pryor made the toughest vote of his career. In another ad, the Pryor campaign misrepresents his opponent's position. The first ad features the candidate speaking directly into the camera and is effective. The second uses faceless narrators and is terrible. That's not a coincidence.
Let's start with the first ad. Pryor and his father, former Sen. David Pryor, describe Mark Pryor's struggles with his insurance company when he was battling cancer. "No one should be fighting an insurance company while you're fighting for your life," Mark Pryor says in the ad. "That's why I helped pass a law that prevents insurance companies from canceling your policy if you get sick or deny coverage for pre-existing conditions."
That law was the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. The ad has gotten some national attention because a Democratic senator in a tough re-election bid in a Republican-leaning state embraced his vote for Obamacare, even if he doesn't actually use the name. Good for him for explaining his reasoning. That's what campaigns are for – to give voters information so they can make decisions.
Then there's the "Ebola" ad, which also has received national attention, but for a different reason.
You don't hear much from Pryor in that ad, except for the legally required "I'm Mark Pryor, and I approved this message." In that ad, not only one but two faceless narrators say Pryor's opponent, Rep. Tom Cotton, "voted against preparing America for pandemics like Ebola. … Instead Cotton voted for tax cuts for billionaires funding his campaign rather than protecting our families."
The vote to which the Pryor campaign is referring was to pass the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013, which funded preparations for responding to a public health emergency such as a rapidly spreading disease. The bill passed 395-29 in the House on Jan. 22, 2013. As the ad correctly states, Cotton was the only Arkansas congressman to vote no.
How could Cotton vote against "protecting our families"? His spokesman, David Ray, said Cotton objected to a part of the bill enabling the federal Department of Health and Human Services to enact a mandatory deployment of public health workers, including those employed by states, during a major health crisis. Cotton believed the mandatory call-up was contrary to existing law and Supreme Court precedent. The bill did not pass as written. In March, Cotton voted for a similar bill that made the call-up of health workers a voluntary one. Pryor voted for the same bill, and that's what funded the program.
So Cotton didn't really vote "against preparing America for pandemics like Ebola." He voted against an early version of a particular bill. Campaigns use votes like this to mislead voters about their opponents all the time, but this one is so over-the-top that Cotton's campaign is now featuring it on its own website, while it's not on Pryor's.
On Wednesday, Pryor held a press conference defending the ad. He brought up Cotton's votes against the farm bill and disaster aid and said this is part of a pattern where Cotton votes against appropriate government spending.
He made a better case talking in person than those two faceless narrators did reading a script on television.
In fact, the most effective campaign ads right now feature the candidates talking directly to voters. Those would be the Pryor cancer ad already mentioned, and Asa Hutchinson's ad where he talks about his granddaughter inspiring him to support a law requiring high schools to offer a computer coding class.
Those ads work because they allow voters to see the candidates offering a positive vision, but what if candidates also spoke for themselves when they wanted to criticize their opponents? I'm betting their messages would be much more responsible and measured. In one earlier ad, Pryor himself had this to say, calmly, about Cotton regarding Medicare: "My opponent voted to withhold benefits until age 70, and I'm trying to stop that." When candidates want to distinguish themselves from their opponents in a 30-second ad, that's how they should do it.
Campaigns have decided it's bad for their candidates to be seen criticizing their opponents in an ad. Actually, I would respect them more if they did it that way. My outlook is very Southern. If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all. But if you think something not nice needs to be said, say it yourself.
Here are the two ads.

Coach: Amy Bambenek (6th season)
2013 record: 20-10 (8-6 CAA)
2013 postseason: Lost CAA Tournament semifinals to Northeastern, 3-0
Returning starters: 4 (Victoria Phillips, Morgan Kline, Nicole Lott, Meredith Peacock)
Freshmen to watch: MH Sydney Brock, MH Sarah Kelly
Started practice: Aug. 8
Season debut: Aug. 29 vs. Coastal Carolina at 2 p.m. in first game of Hilton Garden Inn Wilmington Mayfaire Classic
What we know: UNCW finally broke through last fall, compiling its first winning season since 1996. Those Seahawks earned the No. 3 seed in the CAA Tournament before falling two wins short of an NCAA bid. The team relied heavily on All-CAA hitter Christi Laite, the leader in kills for the third-straight season. They will also figure out how to replace libero Haley Collins. Bambenek believes she's built the depth to offset those losses, and the return of all-conference picks Meredith Peacock and Nicole Lott will help. UNCW won't sneak up on anybody this time around as it seeks the next step.
What we'll find out:
How will the team deal with changing expectations? It was easy for Bambenek to sell her team as underdogs last season because they were. The Seahawks were picked preseason to finish last in the conference again and exceeded expectations every step of the way. The coach acknowledged the challenge of trying to get her players to be confident and still keep that edge. It's been a slow build, and the last steps will be the most difficult. The team's motto — bRING it home — reflects the change in attitude. That means finish first in the CAA to host the conference tournament and win the title. "That's really early talk and that's really big aspirations, but they've got to learn to shoot for the moon," Bambenek said. "If that's their goal, then they should allow me to be as hard as I can on them to reach their goal."
How do the Seahawks replace Christi Laite? The last few years other teams knew the Seahawks wanted to get the ball to Laite. She finished her career fifth on the team's all-time kills list with 1,164. Her presence no doubt opened up opportunities for the rest of the team, and her high achievement — on the court and in the classroom — set the bar for the rest. When it comes to actually taking Laite's spot on the right side, Bambenek will lean on sophomore Kristen Powell and senior Leah Gagliardi. The coach is also experimenting with new ways to get Peacock — a blocking force in the middle — more involved in the offense. More balance will help the Seahawks become less predictable and harder to shut down. "It's not really filling those shoes," Bambenek said. "Being able to divide those kills that (Laite) had amongst other people is what we're trying to do."
Who will play libero? Haley Collins was an important leader for last year's team as the libero. Right now, there's a pretty good competition going on for that spot. Junior Lindsay Hartmann, freshman Lindsay Foreman and sophomore Morgan Owney are in the mix there. It's becoming clear to Bambenek that the libero will likely change from game-to-game, and the other two will provide options to substitute as defensive specialists. "Every day each of them are showing me something a little different that I like," Bambenek said. "That's kind of a question mark. It's a good problem to have. It's tough as a coach to make that final decision on gameday."

The newly formed fashion collective called Underground Fashion Week SF hosted Carte Blanche — a hybrid that was part dance party, part live photo shoot and part conceptual fashion show in a warehouse across from the San Francisco Federal Building on Feb. 28.
After a champagne toast and a live photo shoot with photographer Brian Kenny, the fashion presentation included looks from local designers like Emily Payne of Leathertongue, textile designer Suzy Tamimi and Grey Roger tailoring. (Fun fact: Tamimi studied fashion and textile design at San Francisco's own Academy of Art University.)
The presentation also included an appearance from local fashion destination Harputs Own and a first collection by event organizer Adam Love, of Love's Revenge.
Wearing a gold winged leather jacket by Jeremy Scott for Adidas, Love gave us a glimpse at his collection backstage. He showed us a women's dress-jacket hybrid that flipped up into a modern-day bustle; it mixed the practical (eye-catching neon while biking!) with the aspirational (sportswear for evening).
The dress code among the audience was decidedly "carte blanche," in keeping with the theme. We spotted a number of statement heels and three-piece suits, and as models rotated on platforms, guests danced to music from DJ Lawrence Foxxee Petty.
That, ultimately, was the point. "We want to create a scene again where people care about fashion," Love said. "Not putting much effort into it is part of the California spirit, but we want to make it more of a scene."
Carte Blanche was the first of seasonal events that will be hosted by UFWSF. To score an invite, Love suggests contacting him through Love's Revenge. Or just show up at the door looking "extreme."

Painting From Life vs. From Photos
Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is it will be well worth while, and will do you a world of good.
In 2006 I made sculpture; at the close of the year I began to take an interest in photography. What I found was that weeks could pass without my even touching a paint brush. Recently, I have been painting daily without doing any sculpture or photography at all.
Is it good to abandon one art form for another, even temporarily? One could argue that, in some cases, it is good. But here is another way to think about it, in analogy to physical exercise: would it be good to give up daily exercise for the sake of art? Thinking of it this way, the answer is, of course not.
My goal for 2007 is to draw, to paint, to do sculpture and to do photography, every single day.
My goal is not to try to accomplish something remarkable every day in these various media. The goal is to keep myself in "condition" or "artistically fit" in the same way that I stay "physically fit." Stated in this way, I don't think this New Year's resolution is too ambitious to follow. We shall see . . .
Do you have New Year's resolutions pertaining to art that you would like to share?

It amazes me how children usually walk with their eyes downcast, watching for trips and pitfalls. They should walk with their eyes elevated, watching out for table corners and the legs of their elders. While a misstep may land a child on its face, causing the misstep of an adult may land the adult on the child. My children seem to have forgotten that they are in the land of giants.
I would think that #5 would see my massive boots and avoid them. He instead plays a dangerous game of hopscotch to stay only one step ahead of or behind them. Please be aware, I mean one of his steps, not one of mine. Poor planning. Granted, there are times in which he can bob and weave around my legs with the dexterity of a cat; while other times he has the slow wits of a bumbling dog who finds a way to nail both legs, one right after the other.
#6 likes to run the same route that I am currently walking with one exception; he takes the route just in front of me. That again is poor planning. See, his legs are about one fifth of mine. So unless he is at a dead run I tend to out pace him rather quickly. And when I shout at him to "Move!" he receives a telepathic message as to exactly where I am going next so he can correct his course to be there in front of me. The result is a slightly flatter little boy.
And the little boys are not the only children who end up under foot. No, the girls were just as bad. They would hang onto their parents' knees without announcing themselves. Stand hidden under Wife's pregnant belly. Sneak behind me in a most uncharacteristic silence. And in all cases find their toes stepped on.
I think we all look forward to the day in which they can join this land of giants in equal stature.

The Sun is currently entering what is called a Grand Solar Minima. The current solar cycles 24 and coming solar cycle 25 that will following are both set to be very weak and will only display few sunspots or possibly no sunspots at all.
However, the current climate research establishment, those who the media and the politicians trust and who are only looking for human causes of climate change have gone to great lengths to try convince the public and other scientists that changes in indirect solar activity are of no importance for the Earth's climate. They claim that the solar part of recent warming is too small to have an important influence because the variation in the heat output reaching the Earth is too small to have any measurable impact and that indirect changes of solar activity has no effect at all on Earth's climate.
They are wrong!
The result from this is that during the coming decades we should be in a prolonged relentless period of substantial cooling.
The debate of CAGW Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming popular called global warming is a somewhat peculiar. This debate is characterised by the lack of any public debate. Especially with opponent who know science. Climate scientists like to lecture, but when it comes to public debate with climate skeptics or realists they run away. This is strange given as they claim the human influence on climate could be catastrophic. What better way to convince others than to debate with opponents and give convincing answers to tough questions.

1920, rural Ireland. Anglo-Irish twins Rachel and Edward share a strange existence in their crumbling family estate. Each night, the property becomes the domain of a sinister presence (The Lodgers) which enforces three rules upon the twins: they must be in bed by midnight; they may not permit an outsider past the threshold; and if one attempts to escape, the life of the other is placed in jeopardy. When troubled war veteran Sean returns to the nearby village, he is immediately drawn to the mysterious Rachel, who in turn begins to break the rules set out by The Lodgers. The consequences pull Rachel into a deadly confrontation with her brother - and with the curse that haunts them.

I suppose the basic idea is to create a chain of integrate-and-fire neurons.

Referring to the attached diagram, each neuron gets input from it's own photosensor, and from the neuron to the left of it. You will also have to make it so that the signal from the photosensor to neuron *decreases* as you move right on the chain.

The general idea is that movement to the right makes each neuron spike, which sends a spike to the neighboring neuron. If the inputs are timed right (which is probably the most tricky part), each successive neuron will spike more and send more input to it's neighbors. The last neuron, the readout neuron, will spike the most. You can look at the spike rate of the last neuron, and if it's high enough, then you declare movement to the right. The number of spikes of the last neuron could even be related to the velocity of the movement.

Movement to the left shouldn't elicit a single spike from the readout neuron.

Another option might be to build a Reichardt correlator:

Eastern Cushites
Eastern Cushites in Kenya include older hunter gatherer communities and later pastoralists.
Language: Borana. Alternate names: Boran, Booran, Boraan, Southern Oromo, Oromo, "Galla". The name Borana refers to the people or their language and also means friend or kind person. Thus, a 'bad person' may be told he is not Borana.
Language family: Afro-Asiatic, Cushitic, East, Oromo.
Origins of the community: The Borana are one of the resulting groups of the Oromo migrants who left the southern highlands of Ethiopia in the 1500s. Most of the Borana and related peoples live in Ethiopia. The Oromo had migrated east but were pushed back by the Somali leading to greater southern expansion.
The Oromos in northern Kenya first entered the region from southern Ethiopia during a major migratory expansion in the late 10th century. They then differentiated into cattle-keeping Borana and camel-keeping Gabbra and Sakuye.
The origin of the Galla (Oromo) is to be found in the highland region around Bali in South-Central Ethiopia and traditions are unanimous in confirming this. The centre of the Galla dispersal is traced around the region, which is currently the homeland of the Boran. Over the years the vital areas of Boran migrations and settlements were the homelands of Dirre and Liban, and the lowland region of Golbo and Wanyama stretching from the east of Lake Rudolf (Turkana) to Qaddaduma and beyond in the east. It also included Dadasha Waraba as the furthest out post of Boran settlement in the north-east directions, in the lower reaches of the Dawa and Ganale Gudda rivers.
Population: According to the 2009 Kenya population and households census results the Borana number 161,399.
Geographical location of the community: The Borana are part of the Oromo cultural group. After their last migration, the Borana of Kenya settled the following areas: Marsabit District, Tana River District, Garissa District and Moyale District. The heaviest concentration is in Sololo area of Marsabit District and in Moyale District. Those in Isiolo District are concentrated in Merti and Garba Tula.
The Borana live in southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya in areas where the weather conditions are basically dry and hot with irregular torrential rain.
The area the Boran (Oromo-Galla) occupy in Kenya includes parts of the Districts of Marsabit, Moyale, Mandera, Wajir and Isiolo; in Ethiopia, the Borana occupy the southernmost parts of the Sidamo Province. They are also found in some parts of the Jubaland Province of the Somali republic in the vicinity of the Dawa and Ganale rivers. They originated from the Dirre and Liban areas of southern Ethiopia.
Housing: They live in traditional round grass huts constructed by women. The houses consist of interwoven branches thatched with grass all the way to the ground. When movement of the homesteads is required -they lead a nomadic lifestyle (they move three or four times a year)- the transportable portions of the house are loaded onto the back of a camel or a woman and carried to the new location. They settle temporarily in groups of 10 to 30 houses. Women weave portable grass huts called "dasse"
Economic activities: The Borana are a pastoralist ethnic group. Cattle and camels are the main livestock kept but they also rear goats and sheep. Cattle and camels are the major resource of wealth and are applied to payment of bride price, for sacred sacrifices, and legal fines.
The Borana's staple food is milk and milk products. Meat, although an important food, is consumed irregularly because only on very special occasions will they slaughter an animal and eat meat. They regard their livestock as very valuable.
The Borana's economy and lifestyle is organised around cattle, though formerly taboo camels are becoming more important, and they now herd sheep and goats.
Education: Children are educated and enculturated through music, since every aspect the Borana's culture is captured in song.
Language: Burgi. Alternate names: Bambala. Burji language is also known as Bembala, Bambala, Daashi.
Language group: Afro-Asiatic, Cushitic, East Highland.
Origins of the community: The Burji community arrived in Kenya at the turn of the 20th century from Yavelo Province, Ethiopia, courtesy of the then-commissioner of the Marsabit District in northern Kenya. To encourage farming in his administrative area and feed the colonialists and inhabitants -the Borana, Rendille and Gabbra- who were predominantly pastoralists, the British colonial official decided to ask his Ethiopian counterpart to send a few Burjis, renowned for their farming and entrepreneurial skills, to initiate farming in Marsabit. The British Consul at Mega in Ethiopia agreed to the request and sent a few Burji to Kenya, where an administrative post was set up in Marsabit to oversee the growing of crops.
Although the Burji fleeing the reign of Emperor Menelik moved into Kenya as early as 1896, the first Burji on record is Hille Ume who was found in Moyale around 1906 by Philip Zaphilo, the first British frontier agent in Moyale. Hille Ume went back home for a period of time but returned to Kenya during the years of the Great War accompanied by Nawe Gubbe. These two, then, were the first Burji in Kenya.
From about 1918 onwards, the Burji are recorded in government records as coming over in small numbers from time to time. Occasionally, the Burji would return home (Ethiopia) only to reappear once more with a few friends or relatives. In 1920 there were about one hundred and fifty of them in Moyale, and about three hundred three hundred ten years later in 1930.
Ancient Burji were agricultural people who lived around the Burji mountain. Their territory was to the east of the River Galana Amara, and south-east of Lake Abaya. To the west, across the Galana Amara was the Konso country, to the north the Darasa, and to the south and south-east the Boran.
Population: According to the 2009 Kenya population and households census results the Burji number 23,735.
Geographical location of the community: After their last migration, the Burji settled in Moyale, and Marsabit township area.
The Burji people reside in Ethiopia south of Lake Chamo. There are over 46,000 speakers in Ethiopia, and a further 10,400 speakers in Kenya.
In northern Kenya, the community mainly lives in Moyale and Marsabit towns and smaller numbers live and work in Nairobi and other towns around the country.
Economic activities: Ancient Burji were agricultural people who lived around the Burji mountain. Their territory was to the east of the River Galana Amara, and south-east of Lake Abaya.
According to Moyale District Annual Report, the Burji were a great asset in the district as they were the main agricultural workers. They also built the houses and the road between Moyale and Wajir and were producing enough flour to supply Moyale and other stations. By 1926, they were the sole supply of labour in the District.
Burji traders have established strong links with industrial manufacturers in Nairobi and Mombasa. They obtain goods such as foodstuffs, building and hardware materials, and second-hand clothes which they supply not only for local consumption in Moyale, but also for the south Ethiopian market. Burji businessmen and women own more than 90% of the 60 plus trucks in Moyale through which they control livestock and general merchandise transportation betweennorthern Kenya and Nairobi and the port city of Mombasa.
Language: Orma. Alternate names: Uardai, Wadai, Warday, Wardei. Orma is a member of the macro-language Oromo.
Language family: Afro-Asiatic, Cushitic, East, Oromo.
Origins of the community: The Orma are remnants of the once powerful "Galla nation" of Ethiopia and northern Kenya. In the late nineteenth century, wars with neighbouring tribes forced the Orma to migrate south. Some moved to the rich delta area of the lower Tana River, and others settled west of the river.
Before 1500, the Oromo-speaking peoples began migrating south from the north-eastern highlands of Ethiopia, spreading gradually to the area north of Mt Kenya and down the River Tana to the coast. These were cattle and camel herders, who raided more settled peoples as they migrated or ranged through various territories. The Orma were in approximately their current settlement areas by 1900.
The Orma are related to the Borana and other Oromo groups. In the late 19th century the Orma were forced by Ogaadeen Somali to migrate south into Kenya. Some Orma people moved into the rich delta area of the lower Tana while others settled in the drier western Tana area.
Population: According to the 2009 Kenya population and households census results the Orma number 66,275. In 2005 the Orma population stood at 70,000 people. According to SIL Ethnologue the population count for the Orma stood at 69,000 in 2006 and showed an increasing trend.
Geographical location of the community: After their last migration, the Orma settled in North Eastern and Coast Provinces' Garissa and Tana River districts. They live in the south-eastern parts of Kenya in Tana River and Lamu districts. They are mainly found in Hola, Garsen, Tarasaa and Witu.
The Orma are semi-nomadic herders who live in the deserts of south-eastern Kenya. They are the southernmost representatives of the once powerful Oromo (Galla) nation of Ethiopia and Northern Kenya.
The Orma live near the Tana River in the dry season, and move further inland to the west in the rainy season.
Housing: Orma women build the round, wood-framed huts they live in. The huts are thatched with grass and in some cases with woven mats. In some cases when the family migrates with the herds due to drought, they leave the frame of their homes behind, only carrying the mats. They will often return to the same site when it rains.
A larger version of the houses are built by people who live in permanent villages.
Economic activities: They are semi-nomadic shepherds who live in the south-eastern deserts of Kenya except during the rainy season when they move their herds inland. Raising cattle is their basic means of survival, breeding a distinct breed of white, long-horned Zebu cattle. The cows are commonly known as Borana cows (with a hump). Zebu cattle are used as "bride price" and are slaughtered at weddings and funerals. Apart from cattle, they also raise goats and sheep. Meat is the main food, supplemented with milk and blood, though now some Orma also eat maize, beans and take tea.
Cycles of Life Birth: Special ceremonies are performed at the birth of children. Babies are dedicated seven days after they are born. A woman stays secluded for forty days after giving birth. At a ceremony to end the mother's seclusion period, the child is dedicated a second time.
Naming: The first born of either sex is named after one of the paternal grandparents.
Marriage: The Orma and the Somali, marry off the daughters aged 10-15. Dowry, which differs in amount depending on the age of the bridegroom and bride, is paid to the father of the bride-to-be and clansmen. Older men often pay more dowry than younger men.
Among the Orma, a hut is erected in the bride's parents' compound, a few metres from the cowshed. The groom comes over on the wedding day. The newly-weds stay isolated indoors for some days to consummate their marriage. The newly married couple stays with the bride's parents until conception and possibly the birth of the first baby, after which they leave to go to the husband's home. In case of childlessness, a sister or brother of the couple may give up their child for adoption by the couple.
Language: Rendille. Alternate names: Randile, Rendile.
Rendille is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Kenya by the Rendille.
The Rendille are believed to be alienated and experts believe the pure Rendille language speakers are confined to the two towns of Kargi and Korr. The rest of the towns/settlements especially those bordering the two Samburu districts speak more Samburu than Rendille language.
Language family: Afro-Asiatic, Cushitic, East, Rendille-Boni.
Origins of the community: The Rendille migrated from farther north, in Ethiopia and Somalia. They are said to have common ancestors with the Somali tribe. Oromo-speaking tribe drove them out, and forced their migration southwards into Kenya.
Before 1500, the ancestors of the Rendille were part of the people speaking "Somaloid" or Proto-Somali language with the ancestors of the Somali, Sakuye and Gabbra. They were organised round a complex camel culture at the time, which included an extensive ritual calendar, based on dual lunar and solar calendars involving ceremonies for the well being of camels and humans.
The 16th century Oromo expansion disrupted these Somaloid people causing migrations south and westward from their homes in southern Ethiopia and Somalia. These people were further separated when some groups of them developed ritual kinship arrangements with the Oromo (Borana) people for protection. The Rendille were the southernmost of these Somaloid people and maintained their own culture and language intact.
Population: According to the 2009 Kenya population and households census results the Rendille number 60,437. According to SIL Ethnologue the Rendille population count stood at 34,700 in 2006 and showed an increasing trend. Geographical location of the community: After their last migration, the Rendille settled in an area in North Eastern Province of Kenya from the Merille River and Serolivi in the south to Loyangalani in the north, from Marsabit and Merti in the east to Lontolio in the west. The primary towns include Marsabit, Laisamis, Merille, Logologo, Loiyangalani, Korr, Kamboi, Ngurunit and Kangi. The climate of their homeland is semi-arid.
The Rendille are a Cushitic speaking ethnic group inhabiting the Kaisut Desert in the north-eastern part of Kenya. They also inhabit the south-eastern and southern regions of Mount Marsabit in the Marsabit Central District.
The Rendille roam the region of northern Kenya between Lake Turkana to the west and Marsabit to the East, between the Merille River to the south and Chalbi desert to the north, an area roughly 22,000sq km. The Rendille proper live in the northern part of this area, and a hybrid offshoot known as the Ariaal Rendille live in the south.
Housing: Women, children and older men live in semi-permanent villages that are moved only a few times a year and rarely more than a few kilometres.
The huts in which the Rendille live are prefabricated and portable to necessitate migration. They are erected by women while the men build the protective enclosure. The semi-permanent camp in which they dwell is called "gob". A typical settlement consists of about two dozen houses, sheltering approximately one hundred persons. Each married woman has her own hut. The centre of a settlement is called "nabo" or "naapo", and is a ritual enclosure where elders meet. A ritual fire is always kept burning. At every new camp after building the nabo and lighting the ritual fire, every woman takes some embers for her own house.
Economic activities: They are nomadic pastoralists who roam with their camels, goats, donkeys and most recently cattle across about 16,000 square kilometres of Northern Kenya. Their staple foods include meat, a mixture of milk and blood, commonly known as "Banjo" although they have now adopted other foodstuffs like maize flour, rice and beans.
The Rendille are not only dependent on the camel for food but also for transport. They do not ride the camel rather they use them to carry all their belongings.
The Rendille tend to favour camels for herds rather than cattle, probably because their lands are very dry and the camel is better suited to the environment. Because the terrain they occupy is very dry, the Rendille do not grow crops; their cultural and economic life is centred on their animals.
Cycles of life Birth: There are celebrations at birth irrespective of the sex of the baby. However, when a girl child is born, and the father is asked who has been born, his response was said to be: "she has given birth to one who will go away". The birth of a girl is seen as security for family property. A man who has many girls is creditworthy because he will exchange his girls for wealth when they get married to enable him pay back his debts.
Among the Rendille, a pregnancy outside wedlock is unacceptable. The girl was hit on the stomach until she miscarried.
Naming: During the naming ceremony, both the boy and the girl are given a cow as their first gift and property to own. Initiation: The Rendille practice gadaa, a system of age-sets fourteen years apart. An age-set is a group of men circumcised together and remain in warriorhood for fourteen years before they are allowed to marry and give way to another age-set.
Girls undergo clitoridectomy, as a rite of passage, before marriage. However, there a few exceptions such as the "sabades" who marry sometimes after 40 years. The main consequence of the sabade is a birth control system, slowing down human demography in relation to the cattle.
Girls are circumcised between ages 10-13. After this, they are ready for marriage and are married off by arrangement between the parents. Boys go through circumcision a little later but are still considered children and do not have access to family wealth until they marry and become full members of the community.
Marriage: Marriages are usually arranged by parents, since it is not permitted to marry within one's own clan and contact with other clans is minimal for younger people. A bride price in livestock is always part of the negotiations. Because men cannot marry until they have completed warrior phase, there is usually a sizeable age difference between a man and his wife. Marriage involves the husband paying bride wealth of 4 cattle to the wife's family. The eldest son acquires this payment from his father.
Language: Somali. Alternate names: Standard Somali.
Somali (Daawood, Dir, Hawiye, Ogaadeen are nomadic clan families in Kenya). Dialect differences cut across clan differences.
The Somali language is spoken by ethnic Somalis in Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Yemen and Kenya, and by the Somali diaspora. Somalis in Kenya are naturalised citizens and residents of Kenya who are of Somali descent. Naturalisation is the acquisition of citizenship and nationality by somebody who was not a citizen or national of that country when he or she was born. Somalis are one of the largest Cushitic-speaking ethnic minority groups in the country.
Language family: Afro-Asiatic, Cushitic, East, Somali.
Origins of the community: The Somalis in Kenya first started arriving in the area in the 19th century. Following the civil war in Somalia that broke out in 1991, many Somalis sought asylum in the Somali inhabited enclaves of Kenya. Recently, they have increasingly begun asserting themselves in the business sector as more have immigrated into the country as entrepreneurs particularly in Eastleigh. Throughout much of the 20th century, the Northern Frontier District (NFD) was part of British East Africa. On June 26, 1960, four days before granting British Somaliland independence, the British government declared that all Somali-inhabited areas of East Africa should be unified in one administrative region.
However, after the dissolution of the former British colonies in the region, Britain granted administration of the NFD to Kenyan nationalists despite a) an informal plebiscite [a direct vote of the qualified voters of a state in regard to some important public question] demonstrating the overwhelming desire of the region's population to join the newly-formed Somali Republic, and b) the fact that the NFD was and is still almost exclusively inhabited by ethnic Somalis. After independence the new Kenyan administration was not willing to give up the Somali-inhabited area. The Somalis formed a party called Northern Province People's Progressive Party (NPPPP) through which they vigorously sought union with their kin in the Somali Republic.
In response, the Kenyan government enacted a number of repressive measures designed to frustrate their efforts in what came to be known as the Shifta war. Although the Somalis in the region ultimately lost the war, they still identify and maintain close ties with their kin in Somalia, and see themselves as one people. The Somalis of Kenya are part of a much larger group which inhabits almost the entire area of the Horn of Africa. The history of the Somali people dates back to about AD 1000. There are folk genealogies tracing certain Somali clans to the Arabian Peninsula and associating their ancestors with the Sharifs, the family of prophet Mohammed. Linguistic, cultural and historical evidence, however, indicates they originally came from the southern highlands of what is now Ethiopia. Anthropological studies indicate the Digil-Rahawiin (Maay-speaking) peoples represent the earliest migration group and also the most southern. The Somali people were never under a unified political structure. Sporadic attempts towards a unified political structure such as the Gareen dynasty from the Ajuuraan in Central/Southern Somalia in the 1500s and the Bartire around Jigjiga, Ethiopia, in the late 1700s were overthrown violently by other clans.
Population: According to the 2009 Kenya population and households census results the Kenyan Somali number 2,385,572. This number is broken down into the various groups (specific clans) as stated: Somali (so stated) – 141,111; Ajuran – 177,855; Degodia – 515,948; Gurreh – 693,792; Hawiyah – 58,160; Murile – 176,821; Ogaden – 621,885. The figure given in the 2009 population census for the number of Somalis in Kenya is believed to be inaccurate and has been nullified pending an official recount. In the 1989 census the community numbered 420,000 in Kenya. 45,098 Somali, 27,244 Hawiyah, 100,400 Degodia, 139,597 Ogaden. The majority of the Somali people live in Somalia. They are also the principle inhabitants of the Ogaadeen (Ogaden) region of south-eastern Ethiopia, the country of Djibouti, and the North Eastern Province of Kenya.
Geographical location of the community: After their last migration, the Somali settled in North Eastern Province's Wajir area. The Somali people in the Republic of Somalia inhabit an area of approximately 828,800km² in the Horn of Africa, running from 2 latitude south to 10 latitude north, bordered to the east by the Indian Ocean, to the west and north west by Ethiopia and Kenya. Neighbouring tribes are: to the south, the Wardy Oromo (Galla), to the north and north-west the Afar and to the west the Oromo – Itu, Ala, Aniya, Arussi and Boran.
Housing: Families live in portable huts; each wife has her separate hut made of bent saplings (a young tree) and woven mats. Villages consist of a group of huts for related families arranged in a circle or semi-circle with cattle pens at the centre. The huts are built by women.
Economic activities: The Somali are nomadic-pastoralists whose culture is primary centred around camels with a few cattle and goats in the more productive areas. Women and young children care for sheep and goats while young men herd camels. Their region of occupation receives less than four inches of rainfall annually on average, thus their lives are primarily consumed with finding water and grazing land for their livestock. Formerly, their diet consisted almost entirely of milk and milk products but now includes maize meal and rice for most. Men herd and protect the camels and cattle (cattle mainly in the area south of Garissa and camels mainly to the north), while women are responsible of milking the animals, food preparation and family nurturing. The most widely recognised symbol among the Somali is the camel, because it provides transportation, milk, meat, income and status to a majority of Somalis.
The Gabra (also written Gabbra or Gebra) are an Oromo people who live as camel-herding nomads, mainly in the Chalbi desert of northern Kenya and the highlands of southern Ethiopia. They are closely associated with other Oromo, especially their non-nomadic neighbors, the Borana.
Language: The Gabra speak the Borana dialect of Oromo, which belongs to the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family.
The name "Gabra" may have roots in the Oromo word gabaro, meaning "vassal" and possibly indicating an association within the Borana federation. They appear to have been a conglomerate of peoples living north of the Tana river in Kenya, the area around Lake Turkana and the highlands of southern Ethiopia. The details of Gabra origin are subject to debate within academia. The Gabra's ornamentation and physical culture is similar to many other Cushitic-speaking camel herders, including the Rendille and Somali, all of whom the Gabra describe as warra dassee ("people of the mat"), in reference to the mat-covered, portable tents, which accompany their nomadic lifestyle. The Borana, on the other hand, are described by the Gabbra as warrra buyyoo ("people of the grass"), in reference to the grass huts that characterize their sedentary lifestyle. Gabra homes, called mandasse, are light, dome-shaped tents made of acacia roots, and covered with sisal grass mats, textiles, and camel hides. Each mandasse is divided into four quarters; a public quadrant each for male visitors, female visitors, and a private quadrant each for parents and children. A mandasse can be completely disassembled and converted into a camel-carried palanquin in which children and the elderly travel. Gabra live in small villages, or ola made up of several mandasse. Ola move short distances as many as twelve times per year, in search of better grazing for the camels and other animals the Gabra rely on. Gabra society is broadly divided into the lowland Gabra (Gabra Malbe) on the Kenyan side of the border, and the highland Gabra (Gabra Miigo) on the Ethiopian side of the border. The Gabra Malbe have been the subject of some missionary activity and anthropological research while little has been published on the Gabra Miigo. Gabra society is further divided into several semi-exogamous groups called the "five drums" (Oromo: dibbee shanaan). In Kenya, each of the "drums" generally resides in a particular grazing area which is historically tied to the region assigned them by the British colonial government in the early 1900s, though their previous territory appears to have been larger. The territory of the Ethiopian Gabra, is said to comprise a "sixth drum."
The Gabra practice a monotheistic religion based on the traditional Oromo religion, centering on worship of the god Waaqa, infused with Islamic elements. The Gabra make pilgrimages to sacred sites, most of which are located in the mountainous terrain of what is today Borana territory.

Marlee is at an age where she wants to be a part of everything! With that, she wants to do and play the same things as older kids, as well as Justin and I. At 3 years old, she is not quite ready for a full blown game of Monopoly or various other kids games. Though there are a few games she can play, she still requires a bit of help. When I found the game Roll & Play by Thinkfun, I knew we had found a winner!
The mission of Thinkfun is to 'Ignite Your Mind.' They offer a wide array of products that naturally inspire learning, spark creativity, and build problem solving through play. ThinkFun was founded with a dream that we could change the world through play. Today, ThinkFun is a respected global company represented in over 60 countries and translated into over 20 languages.
We were sent the first game ever designed specifically for toddlers, Roll & Play! To play, simply toss the big plush cube and identify which colored side faces up.

(Rolling the dice)
Marlee absolutely LOVES this game and as soon as we finished she asked to play again! There are six different colored cards, with each one representing a category of Emotions, Body Parts, Animal Sounds, Counting, Colors and Actions. We took the cards and spread them out in a pile in the floor and started rolling. Marlee quickly picked up on how to play and stayed engaged throughout the whole game! We set each card that we had already used off to the side so that there would be a stopping point. Everyone is a winner in this game, which makes it even better!
('Reading' the card)
My favorite part about this game is that Marlee can easily figure out what the card says and only needed help a couple of times. It encourages site words and use of context clues to figure out what each card is asking her to do. It was tons of fun because we took turns guessing what the face, sound or action was portraying. This game is a definite winner in our household!

This second album repeats the fusion of fiddles, accordions and blazing brass with reggae rhythms and club beats. The celebratory mood and melodic hooklines are infectious, and on tracks like "Usti Baba" the blend of yearning eastern European voices and loping ska has real subtlety. By contrast, Shantel's conception of "Planet Paprika" as a borderless dance republic results in cheesy oompah disco, albeit perfectly tailored for party revelry. Behind both the comedic crowd-pleasers and the brilliant musicianship lies an original talent.

Tijuana, Mexico
A typical border town, Tijuana is not suited to everyone's taste, with plenty of noise and frenetic activity. Its location on the American/Mexican border and proximity to San Diego ensures a steady stream of curious day-trippers and souvenir hunters from up north, as well as students in search of cheap alcohol and a lower drinking age. Tijuana's notorious 'sin city' image of prostitution and sex shows has now taken a back seat; the sleazy element, the drugs and violence that seems to be the lot of a border town, is still there, but the focus has shifted in an effort to clean the town up a bit, and it has become something of a shopper's delight along with the intense nightlife and non-stop entertainment. This is the place to shop, drink and dance the night away; there are souvenir stalls, numerous duty-free shopping malls and markets selling goods from all over Mexico, and countless bars, restaurants and dance clubs.
Tijuana has some traditional attractions as well, including bullfighting and Jai Alai (a Spanish ball court game), but this is not the classic Mexico that stories are made of. Just across the Mexican border, 30 minutes from downtown San Diego, Tijuana is unlike other Mexican cities, but is a worthwhile experience that provides a fascinating contrast between Mexico and the USA.
While there is concern about the ongoing drug violence in Mexico, most visits to Tijuana are generally trouble-free.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and Chief Executive Warren Buffett said on Wednesday he would buy very few technology stocks at current levels and that the U.S. government should play a part in the housing market.
"There's very few tech stocks I would want to buy at the prices they sell for, but it's not remotely like the bubble that existed 15 years ago," the billionaire investor told Bloomberg Television.
The U.S. stock market has been hit with a wave of selling, particularly in high-growth stocks in the technology and biotechnology industries in recent weeks. The Nasdaq composite index, which is heavily composed of technology company shares, has fallen more than 5 percent since early March.
"We're not seeing total craziness or anything of the sort, but we're certainly seeing some companies go public at very high valuations and some private transactions at some pretty fancy prices," Buffett said.
Buffett also said the government should play a part in housing, and that the U.S. public would be better served with a government-guaranteed instrument "in the picture." He said he did not see any role for Berkshire Hathaway in mortgage financiers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The Senate Banking Committee will meet later this month on a bill that would abolish Fannie and Freddie and replace them with a new agency to back home loans. Lobbying activity in opposition to the bill has stepped up ahead of the meeting.
Buffett, who also denied interest in purchasing the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball team, said that Berkshire was working on some pending acquisitions but none of them was very big.
"They're not very huge, but there's enough going on that I would hope that maybe one or two would materialize," he said.
