It's easy to define where you don't want to be — what you want to get rid of. Maybe you want to get rid of some weight. Or anxiety when you talk with prospects. Or your lack of focus at work. We all have something we want to get rid of.
But where do you want to be instead? What's your destination?
Seems like a no-brainer to answer that, doesn't it? And the quick answers ARE no-brainers: be thin, be calm, be focused. OK.
But if you go deeper with that question of where you want to be, your expanded answers will get you where you want to go much faster. Whether you're using EFT or not.
Here's what I mean.
When you think of a challenge you want to move past, ask yourself these questions:
- Where do I want to be instead — specifically? What are the details?
- Why do I want to go there? What are the benefits to getting there?
- What difference will it make to get there? To me? To others?
- How will I feel when I get there?
Coming up with your answers radically alters the whole process of change you want to create. When you ask about those details, you accomplish 3 big things:
- You create excitement about getting there, which pulls you towards your goal like it's a magnet.
- Your fears and limiting beliefs intensify about reaching your goal. Wait – this IS a good thing! Now you know what you're dealing with and why you're not there yet. Now you can find specific solutions that work. (Bring on the EFT.)
- You have a goal you can actually commit to. It's clear. It's solid. It's real. You have claimed your destination by defining it.
This is the first step I use with my EFT clients because it sharpens our focus and shortens our sessions. Try it for yourself and see how zeroing in on exactly where you want to be gives you crystal clear feelings and beliefs to release, and vivid details to use with affirmative tapping.
If you want tips to help you get more specific with your destination, listen to a radio chat I had on Women Enjoying Success about this topic.

The Government of Jordan recently announced that it has begun to revoke the citizenship of Palestinians living there, including people who were born in the country. A few days earlier President Obama's administration announced that it would resettle 1,350 Palestinian refugees from Iraq in the United States, presumably because no Arab nation would accept them.
These events are not surprising given the antipathy of the Arab world towards Palestinians over the years and the concomitant failure to assist them in any meaningful way. The truth is the Arab world has done nothing but use Palestinians as pawns as part of a much larger effort to remove Israel from it's midst. Other than that, it has no real use for the Palestinian people and will neither welcome them into individual countries as citizens and fellow Arabs nor provide large scale humanitarian aid with any kind of consistency or regularity.
The Arab world has always seen Palestinians as pariahs and poor relations and these decisions are simply the latest in a long line that prove the point. Rhetoric is commonplace but events have proven that the rhetoric has no substance. To use but two examples among many why else does it allow refugee camps to exist and why does it allow so many Palestinians to live in poverty?
What can Palestinians take from all of this? They must realize that in the end they are on their own and their fate is in their hands and no one else's. The only way they will ever get their own state is by taking the initiative and acting for themselves by themselves and not waiting for others to solve their problems or for solutions to be imposed from outside. This is a lesson Israelis learned long ago and Palestinians would be well advised to learn it too. No one but them has their best interests at heart and if their best interests include living in peace and prosperity with their neighbors in Israel only they will make it happen. If Israelis are convinced of their sincerity they will prove to be very eager partners because peaceful coexistence is something they deeply desire and deem to be in their best interests.

Anyone wanna help me for the Arduino For Total Newbies workshop, which I'm giving on Saturday from 1pm till about 5pm? It's really fun running these workshops! And people are way grateful for the learning experience.

I need people to help the 50 attendees while they solder their BoArduino kit. I can also use some help setting up (I'll be setting up starting at about 10am).

Lemme know.

Thanks!

The Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts is in full swing, with a slew of ongoing events and one-night-only awesomeness. This weekend sees the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia perform the Fall of the Berlin Wall: Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the Kimmel Center as well as closing weekend of The Bearded Ladies Cabaret's Wide Awake: Civil War Cabaret.
But perhaps the easiest way to engage with the citywide festival is by strolling into the Kimmel Center, where tons of free live performances and events take place daily and curious visitors are welcome.
While you're visiting the Kimmel Center, don't miss the just-for-PIFA concessions by Garces Catering featuring signature cocktails like the Flux Capacitor and the Time Warp, as well as special snacks like honey-cayenne doughnuts and carnitas tacos. The food court is open daily, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. with the plaza bar open Sunday through Tuesday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to midnight.
See PIFA for free with these ongoing happenings in the Kimmel Center's soaring Commonwealth — er, Time Travel — Plaza.
• The Time Machine: The Kimmel Center is now home to a 100-foot-long 16-foot-wide light, sound and video art installation that leads visitors on a free adventure through time. The time machine sprawls from the Broad Street entrance through the plaza as a visual representation of the festival theme If You Had a Time Machine…. With five large arches serving as centers of interaction, the installation features projections, video, touch sensors, an interactive kiosk and more. The installation is open everyday of the festival, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday, and 10 a.m. to midnight Wednesday through Saturday.
• Flash of Time: Activating the time machine every night, the new musical Flash of Time was created just for PIFA by Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk and directed by Jay Wahl. With more than a dozen characters from throughout time — cave men, space men and everything in between — the show takes viewers on a musical journey with two scientists. The free show of song, dance and puppetry goes off twice nearly every night of the festival at 7 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, March 28-April 27.
• Shut Your Wormhole: Also revolving around the time machine comedy troupe Tribe of Fools puts on a free, fast-paced, five-part 15-minute show exploring the pitfalls of time travel in the Kimmel Center's Commonwealth Plaza at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, through April 26.
• Plaza Stage: In the center of the Kimmel Center, a temporary plaza stage hosts free live music nearly everyday. On Monday nights, check out university a cappella groups as they break into song from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Every Wednesday, 10:45 p.m. to midnight, listen to late-night sessions of jazz artists like Fresh Cut (April 10) and Perseverance Jazz Band (April 17). Thursdays and Fridays at noon, check out lunch-hour tunes from up-and-coming regional artists, and every Friday night sends audiences back to various eras in time with a Decades Mixer at 6 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. All shows take place on the TD Bank Plaza Stage.
• Philly Night: Every Thursday night, Philly artists get a great nod with an evening devoted exclusively to local artists. Coming up on Thursday, April 11, indie-folk collective The Heat Run takes the stage. Come April 18, singer-songwriter Talain Rayne takes his turn in the spotlight and finally, on April 25, The Swinging Foxes bring the group's signature brand of soulful swing. All performers take two turns, at at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. on the the Kimmel Center pop-up stage.
• Street Fair: In the culminating event of the festival, PIFA shuts down Broad Street from Chestnut to South streets on April 27 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The free fair is set to transform the thoroughfare with an eight hour extravaganza of non-stop festivities ranging from street musicians and performers to food vendors and exhibitors. This year's entertainment lineup will include classic carnival rides like a Ferris Wheel and Galleon, a number of grassy areas, a petting zoo, jungle gyms and tons more family-friendly activities.
PIFA's Time Travel Plaza
When: Daily through April 27
Where: Kimmel Center, 300 S. Broad Street
Cost: Free

Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT®
Corneal Refractive Therapy is a non-surgical process clinically developed to reshape the cornea while you sleep. The result is the temporary correction of myopia with or without moderate astigmatism.
Recent clinical research combined with the latest corneal surface mapping technology, computerized manufacturing and new, more breathable materials have brought new science to corneal reshaping. Similar in appearance to standard contact lenses, Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses gently reshape the corneal surface during sleep and provide clear, natural vision when the lenses are removed upon waking. Because Paragon CRT offers freedom from glasses and the hassle of wearing contact lenses during the day, this leading-edge technology can enhance the lifestyle of those requiring vision correction. Active individuals can freely participate in sports without the interference of glasses or bother of contacts. Eye irritation or dryness, sometimes associated with contact lens wear due to outside dust and pollutants, is eliminated.

540th Friday Blog Roundup
So the Wolvog just finished his first online college class. He audited it instead of taking it for credit because I wasn't sure he'd be able to keep up. But he did, excitedly chatting with his fellow students on the class forum and taking his exams at night. It was super cute and sometimes I snapped pictures of him while he was trying to work and then screeched, "you are so cute!" He got really good at ignoring me.
The only problem came when he got to the final project.
He dragged his heels because he wanted it to be spectacular. He kept coming up with ideas and summarily rejecting them. The clock kept ticking closer to the deadline, and I advised him that satisfactory-but-turned-in beat spectacular-but-not-turned-in. It was finally a few days before the due date and he started working on coding a game. He finished it with hours to spare except for a small glitch. He sent a message asking for help from a fellow classmate and went to baseball practice. When he came home, the answer was waiting, and he fixed the project. Completed, at last.
He went to turn it in and discovered that he was locked out of the class. The due date had been a half hour earlier; the time zone listed as one 5 hours ahead of our own even though the college itself was 3 hours behind our own. He couldn't turn in the project and would have to accept a zero, lowering his final grade from an A to a B.
He asked me to email his professor, and I did, explaining that I'm writing because I'm his mother and he's 10 and lacks the ability to negotiate that power dynamic. He is accustomed to a school situation where his mother can mosey into the classroom and speak to his teacher if there is an issue. And I also explained that he would have to accept the consequences if it was impossible to turn in the project.
The professor was sympathetic but ultimately couldn't bend the rules. The due date was the due date. Even though it was marked as a zero, she still gave him feedback and praise on the project, and I think he left the class feeling good about it overall.
I think letting him experience that was important — not the class, I mean, but having your hard work not counted due to lateness. I don't think he'll procrastinate like that again. He gets that the stakes are raised as you age, and that there will be times in the future where he will have to set aside other fun things to buckle down and get something done. That he may sometimes need to settle on an idea that is satisfactory instead of waiting for something spectacular to spring up in his brain.
I think it's a good sign that he's looking for another class to take in the future — either in person at a local college or online again. It means that he gets the idea that he's going to be held to a standard and he gets to choose whether he rises to reach it and reaps the benefits or not.
Plus he's still promising me that I can move to wherever he goes to college in the future so I can still do his laundry and cook his meals and tuck him in at night. Hoping the ChickieNob chooses the same city if not the same college since she has that plan, too. Though I've been told that I need to stop screeching at them, "you are so cute!" and covering them in kisses while they're in class. Online is fine since their classmates can't see. But in the classroom? So embarrassing.
STAR WARS COMES OUT ON ITUNES TODAY! Um… yes… we set aside a gift card we had to purchase all 6. One needs to be able to carry these things with them in their pocket at all times.
Isn't that mid-blowing? It used to be such a big deal to get to see the movies at home on a VCR. Now I can carry all of them in my pocket on my phone.
Stop procrastinating. Go make your backups. Don't have regrets.
Seriously. Stop what you're doing for a moment. It will take you fifteen minutes, tops. But you will have peace of mind for days and days. It's the gift to yourself that keeps on giving.
As always, add any new thoughts to the Friday Backup post and peruse new comments in order to find out about methods, plug-ins, and devices that help you quickly back up your data and accounts.
And now the blogs…
But first, second helpings of the posts that appeared in the open comment thread last week. In order to read the description before clicking over, please return to the open thread:
- "One Day, in Retrospect" (Unnaturally Knocked Up)
Okay, now my choices this week.
I Try: The Additive Property of Happiness has a fantastic post on BlogHer this week busting her top three infertility myths. It's nice to have words going out to a more general audience instead of preaching to the choir, and I can see the post being shared over and over again across the Internet. She's invited people to add their favourite myths in the comment section, and I encourage you — if you want your words to travel outside this community and hit a more general population — to add your myth in the comment section ASAP. It's a great chance to spread a little more understanding into the world.
Searching for Our Silver Lining has a post about choosing to pick up heads-down pennies, superstitions be damned. I love how she has taken bad omens and turned them around, writing, "Before our final treatment cycle, Grey informed me that we were black cats as others viewed us harboring bad luck. And yet we continued to persevere, choosing to live and exist without apology."
Lastly, No Kidding in NZ has a post asking you to treat yourself as well as you would treat others, especially when it comes to infertility and loss. If you have uttered something cruel to yourself lately; told yourself that you need to suck it up or get over it or that you're not "woman enough" or that all of this is your fault, you need to read this post. Run, don't walk, over to her blog.
The roundup to the Roundup: Wolvog learns not to procrastinate. Star Wars is out on iTunes. Your weekly backup nudge. And lots of great posts to read. So what did you find this week? Please use a permalink to the blog post (written between April 3rd and 10th) and not the blog's main url. Not understanding why I'm asking you what you found this week?

I love that whole story about the Wolvog and the college class, and how you stepped in, but gently. Reading about your awesome kids and how you parent older kids feels like a privilege. I hope some of it sinks in and comes out when my kids are that age…
- 2 Turia { 04.10.15 at 10:04 am }
I've just finished reading The Opposite of Spoiled, by Ron Lieber, which makes exactly the same point with regards to money: let your kids make mistakes in a low-stakes environment. I think you handled the situation with the Wolvog brilliantly. And I'm glad his enthusiasm wasn't curbed by the zero. (And way to go, Wolvog, for taking a college course in the first place!)
- 3 Amber { 04.10.15 at 2:23 pm }
Wow! So impressed with the Wolvog and taking a college course already! I'm also super impressed with your email and response to the professor in regards to missing the deadline. What a great lesson for the Wolvog to learn. Sounds like he handled the situation very maturely.
- 4 loribeth { 04.10.15 at 8:46 pm }
I am impressed — first, that Wolvog is tackling college-level courses!! — and second, with you & his prof for how you both handled the situation. I'm glad the prof stuck to her guns about the deadline — it's a good lesson for him to learn, earlier vs later in life — but also glad that she added some encouraging words.
- 5 Mali { 04.10.15 at 9:41 pm }
As with the others, I am impressed – with Wolvog, with you, and the prof. It gives me hope for the future! And tell the twins that by the time they're in college, I'm sure you'll have grown out of screeching "you're so cute!" Besides, being an embarrassing parent is part of the job description, isn't it?
Thanks for mentioning my post – I may do a follow-up to that one too. But I wanted to mention Savannah's post about a (harmless) but satisfying way to vent her emotions. I wish I'd thought of it. http://because-i-cant-have-babies.blogspot.co.nz/2015/04/draw-your-infertility.html
- 6 Shannon { 04.10.15 at 10:06 pm }
I absolutely love that the professor didn't allow his final project to count, but still gave him feedback on it. What a great life lesson to have at this age.
And Star Wars! Hooray!!
- 7 earthandink { 04.11.15 at 12:10 am }
So I remember waiting in a line that went around the block and then some, in New York City, to see Star Wars. I don't even know why I was in New York City (apparently on May 25th, 1977 if Wikipedia is accurate), as I didn't live there then. But I remember that line.
Enjoy them being this age and wanting you around. I hate to tell you this, but by the time they're in college, well, they may say something else. (When my son was 10 he told me I was the smartest person he'd ever met or who ever lived. Who. Ever. Lived. But I have apparently lost IQ points since then.)
You, the professor, and most especially Wolvog all handled that well.
- 8 Andy { 04.11.15 at 7:23 am }
I love the idea of keeping Star Wars in my pocket… what a weird world we have built! Happy Friday
- 9 Justine { 04.11.15 at 2:40 pm }
The Wolvog is brilliant. 🙂
On behalf of the institution of higher education, I thank both the professor for not bending the rules, and the Wolvog for being willing to accept responsibility and move on. I write more excuses per day than you could imagine … I play the role of the mother in the classroom. And I wonder sometimes what happens to our students when no one is there to step in …
- 10 Lori Lavender Luz { 04.12.15 at 11:11 am }
Congrats to the Wolvog for learning….and learning.
And why does the last paragraph in that section of your post make me think of this?
- 11 Tiara { 04.12.15 at 12:01 pm }
I love the experience & wisdom the Wolvog gained from this lesson! Good for you for guiding him through it in the way you did!
Do you remember seeing Star Wars for the first time? Of course you do. So do I. And then it was a very long time before we'd get to see it again! So amazing that now we get to keep it in our pockets! Can you imagine going back in time to your self as she walked out of that theatre & showing her your phone with Star Wars on it!?!? Mind blown!
- 12 Mijk { 04.13.15 at 2:57 am }
Out mantra in this:done is beter then perfect. It is afamilything here…..
- 13 BattyNurse { 04.14.15 at 8:00 am }
Ok. Wow. He's 10 and took a college class? I'm impressed.

It's been hard to find a single sign today that the fiscal cliff deal is going to garner support from a majority of House Republicans — and there are abundant signs pointing in the opposite direction. Similarly, there's no evidence that Speaker Boehner is preparing to pass the bill with less than majority GOP support.
In short, things are not playing out today consistent with the notion that the White House, Senate and House had really reached a deal last night that each side could deliver on. And the gamble the White House and Senate may have made that they could pressure the House with a fait accompli of a deal is looking like a bust.
I don't guess this should be a surprise. The underlying politics have changed very little since the House GOP shot down Boehner's own plan B. But it is mystifying why Senate Republicans thought this deal would fly — or why it would leave them less exposed politically even if it died in the House.
The latest from the Hill is talk of the House amending the bill — i.e., adding spending cuts — and shipping it back to the Senate. A game of legislative hot potato. But that doesn't seem likely to go anywhere. So we're stuck. Again. No resolution in sight.

w00t time to look for some deals on bulk lots of hotwheels!
It's that time of the year!
Welcome to the 2011 Wheels to Heal Campaign Thread!
This year I will be doing something totally different, and yet still allowing the traditional form of donation of Hotwheels to be collected.
In short, this year has been nothing short of an emotional year for me personally; My wife (Nikki) lost her mother from cancer back in the spring, we recently got married, and are in the process of purchasing a very full-time full service delivery business that generates $200k-$250k in gross sales and still continue with my landscaping/snow removal service.
While the above isn't meant to seek empathy from anyone, but more/less as a placeholder for how my year has been.
That being said, this year I am going to be donating FULL Size Frozen Turkeys to various shelters in addition to any Hotwheel cars that I may receive in donations to the Akron Children's hospital as I've been doing for 7 years now.
Last year, PayPal decided to place my PayPal account on hold (no money could be release, or received) and it took nearly 30 days to properly donate the Hotwheels cars as they are normally done.
This year, PayPal still refuses to allow my account to work properly, so we will be doing it a little different.
1. I can take a credit card donation over the phone (I will absorb the fees)
2. I can physically accept cash/check/Hotwheels donations in person
3. You can mail a check/money order to my office.
Either way this year is going to be putting some food in people's stomaches, and hopefully making a difference in my own personal views.
Please PM me for further details.
This years' goal will be set at $250 or 500 Cars.
Total $$$ Collected to Date: $0.00
Total Cars Collected to Date: 0
^^^When donating, make sure to properly label and spell out exactly what you want done, and to whom in the description.
For those that don't know, every year we raise money or hotwheel cars and donate them to a local children's hospital.
You can participae by either purchasing the individual hotwheels, or by donating money via paypal. We prefer the donation, and we'll do the shopping for you.
____________________________________In return for your donation, here are your rewards:
Anyone that wishes to donate in increments of $1, can elect to:
- Change another member's password
- Change another member's gender
Anyone that wishes to donate in increments of $5, can elect to:
- Change your own user color
- Change another member's user color
- Change another member's forum default style color
- Change default forum color scheme (effects everyone)
- Remove Signature from a user
- Remove Avatar from a user
- Remove PM feature from a user
- Remove Post Count from a user
Anyone that wishes to donate in increments of $10, can elect to:
- Change another member's username
- Change your own username
- Change another member's user title
- Change your own user title
- Ban another Member - *7 Days
Anyone that may be on the receiving end of a ban can purchase for only $5:
- Get Out of Ban - Bail Card
Don't take offense, be proud that one of your fellow friends/members thought enough of you to donate for a good cause. Get them back, by doing the same thing!
All hotwheels (or hotwheels purchased from the paypal donations) will be delivered to the kids @ Akron Children's Hospital on or about Friday 12/23/11.
All frozen turkeys will be delivered to the various shelters on or about Wednesday 12/21/11 to allow time in preparation.
Due to my winter priorities, I won't be immediately available to a pc in order to make the changes within 5 minutes like in previous years.
This year I ask for patience, and possibly will extend the considerations given my schedule.
It's been my experience to search eBay for Lot of Hotwheels, where you can score hotwheels for literally $.50/each shipped. Just have to find the right deal.
All hotwheels MUST BE UNOPENED, and single packs. Burst packs (Multiple cars) can only count as 1 (one) as the hospital counts them this way.
Any additional questions, please use this thread...
Looking forward to 22 days worth of fun and creativity!
Let the Wheels to Heal begin!
Let's have some fun!!
Glad to see this program rolling out again (pun INtended!)
Schlol notified me of his generous 120 hotwheel donation to be picked up!
I will be picking up the turkeys/hams this week.

As I posted in another message, this discussion about removing arch's seems to me to be a red herring.

It was removed because pixbits wanted to simplify and to also show that the pc, ios, and android versions are now exactly the same in content, minus the pc jumping and combat controls.
The x was used only to show the differences between the two ios versions to keep people from getting confused on the iTunes store. I don't think there was any meaning to it but I could be wrong though.

Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery Ceremony
April 1, 2014
Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Daniel Reyes assigned to East Los Angeles Station will be the first Deputy Sheriff to receive the highest honor from the United States Attorney General's Office, The Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery. On April 1, 2014, at 10:00 am, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department held an award ceremony for Deputy Daniel Reyes at the Sheriff's Headquarters.
Every day, federal, state, and local law enforcement officers engage in exceptional acts of bravery while in the line of duty. Often, such acts place the officers involved at personal risk of injury or result in their sustaining a physical injury. To honor these acts of bravery, Congress passed the Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-298), creating the Federal Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery and the State and Local Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery. The act establishes an award to honor exceptional acts of bravery in the line of duty by federal, state, and local law enforcement officers. The medals are awarded annually by the U.S. Attorney General and are presented by the recipients' Congressional representatives.
On January 11, 2011, while on patrol, Deputies Daniel Reyes and Mohamed Ahmed saw a white compact car parked along a red curb. They stopped alongside and Deputy Ahmed asked the driver why she was parked there. Deputy Reyes noticed a male sitting in the front passenger seat and decided to contact him. He advised Deputy Ahmed to contact the driver while he contacted the passenger. As Deputy Reyes approached the open passenger window, he recognized the male as a "Lott 13" gang member with the moniker of "Husky." The subject appeared nervous and began fidgeting around in his seat.
As the subject started moving around he reached for his pants pocket and center console of the car. Deputy Reyes opened the car door and ordered the subject to exit. As the subject stepped out, he turned his back toward Deputy Reyes. He pushed his body backward then began to run. Deputy Reyes was able to grab the subject's jacket and both fell to the ground near the front of the vehicle.
At that moment, Deputy Ahmed, who was seated in the police vehicle, realized that he had lost sight of Deputy Reyes. He exited the car and saw Deputy Reyes on the ground struggling with the subject. He ran to assist Deputy Reyes, and was almost immediately shot and disabled by the subject, who unbeknown to both deputies was concealing a handgun.
Deputy Reyes, believing that the subject had just shot and killed his partner, saw the subject turn toward him holding a handgun. He was able to grab the gun's muzzle and push it away as they both struggled over the weapon. Deputy Reyes continued to struggle with the subject and was eventually able to twist the gun away from his body as two additional shots were fired. Deputy Reyes was ultimately able to remove his service weapon and fired two rounds killing the subject. He was then able to call for assistance. Deputy Ahmed survived his wounds.

Chocolate and Roasted Beet Pudding Cakes
For being someone who doesn't really ever crave cake, I sure have been baking lots of cakes lately. I just realized this is my third cake recipe in a row. Unprecedented, but I do have to admit none of these latest cake recipes are very traditional. All of them being very, very moist, especially this recipe in hand, which is more like a pudding that a cake.
Inspired by a late night (very late night) Twitter chat with Shauna, Helen and Y, I set out to try baking more gluten free recipes. It might surprise you to know that I am almost on a gluten free diet. Most people cannot believe it since I seem to always be baking. The truth is that I don't eat that many baked goods. I do taste everything I make, but I rarely sit down and have an entire piece of cake or cookies.
A couple of years ago, following some health issues, a good friend suggested I try living gluten and dairy free. I have never been able to give up my dairy completely, but I did give up gluten completely for an entire year, which yielded great results. I have not been as strict lately, but that late night Twitter chat was a great reminder of how great I felt then and that I need to experiment some more.
So I know the combination of chocolate and beets might sound a bit odd to you, but it really works. I first read about it in Johnny Iuzzini's "Dessert Fourplay" where he features several recipes with beets. It adds sweetness and an earthy touch that is hard to describe, but it really works.
I found the most amazing red and golden beets this week. I roasted and pureed them and then played around with my to go to chocolate fondant cake recipe. It took me several tests to get it right, but I think I got it. Even C. who despises beets liked it. That in itself is a huge accomplishment.
Gluten Free Chocolate and Roasted Beet Pudding Cakes
Makes 6-4 oz ramekins
2 eggs
2 yolks
50 grams sugar
55 grams butter
170 grams bittersweet chocolate (I used 64%), chopped
55 grams roasted beet puree
20 grams rice flour
pinch salt
In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the eggs, egg yolks and sugar until pale and very thick (ribbon stage).
In the meantime, place the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt them together over a double boiler. Add the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and mix. Add the roasted beet puree and mix. Finally add the rice flour and salt and fold.
Pour the runny batter into the greased ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 400F for about 8-10 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still soft and pudding-like. Let them cool for about 10 minutes before trying to unmold them.
Serve them with candied beets, currants and cream.
Roasted Beet Puree
2 beets
Cut the leaves off the beets leaving about 1 inch stem on. Wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them at 400F for about 1 hour or until fork tender. Let them cool completely in the aluminum foil and them peel them.
Cut the roasted beets and puree them in a food processor. Strain the puree through a fine sieve. It makes more than what you will need for the cakes but you can freeze the rest.
Candied Beets
Peel some beets and slice them very thin using a mandolin. Make a simple syrup with equal parts water and sugar and cook the sliced beets in the syrup until soft and translucent. Make sure the syrup doesn't boil. Let them cool in the syrup. Slightly drain them and coat them with sugar.
If using red and yellow beets, poach them in different pots so the red doesn't bleed into the yellow.
Also, I wanted to let you know that my super talented friend Deb of Bonbon Oiseau is having a giveaway in her blog featuring pieces from her new Fall 09 collection. Go here to enter!
And for those wondering about the gorgeous butterfly plate, that is a handmade piece from Gleena. So many talented friends!

The cast of Wicked made our town "Ozmopolitan" for one short day this Halloween.
P (turning over menus): Guys, why don't you write down the top ten things at school you'll miss over the summer?
F (immediately writing): Okay!
Apparently, painting orange all over one's face (ahem) really does accentuate the juvenile.
Fisher wears the same shirt on the last day of the school year that he wore on the first.
F: Daddy, I don't want first grade to end.
C: Me neither. I want things to stay just how they are.
That's not how things work, Fisher's limited wardrobe preferences notwithstanding.
Daddy takes the twins to cast an in-person vote to punctuate the first ever nomination by a major political party of a woman for US President.
F (skipping down to the polling place, as predicted): Daddy, are we going to meet Hillary Clinton?
D: No, the candidates aren't at the polling place. We just vote for them there.
C: Yah, it would take millions of dollars to meet Hillary Clinton.
Daddy laughs at her filtered-down, unintentional, last-gasp nod to those futilely still clinging to some sort of "Bern". Moving to the back of the church-turned-polling-location, Daddy tries to explain the importance of voting.
F: Daddy, are we going to have to sing at voting?
D: Sing?
F: Yah. People normally sing at church.
D (smiling): Nope, there's no singing while voting. It's a pretty quiet process.
F: Oh. Good.
As another woman also casting her vote in person smiles over, Daddy whispers the kids through the selections, moving from local issues to state legislative offices, to the US Senate race (Kamala Harris!), and finally to Democratic nominee for US President (Hillary Clinton!). Between many others dropping off their ballots, the poll workers train their attention on the kids, who are most fascinated when one of the smiling workers takes the completed ballot from Daddy and slides it slowly out of the envelop into the ballot box. Whoa.
Fisher wants to stop back by home to put his ballot receipt and "I Voted" sticker in his "no touch" bin. (They each have a bin or drawer, the contents of which cannot be touched by the other.) Cory insists on taking her receipt and sticker to show her teacher.
All told, it's a successful second "voting experience." The first was filling out Papa's ballot at home. The third will be most satisfying of all: voting for Clinton over the racist, sexist, unqualified buffoon in the fall…
…but Daddy digresses…
D: Cory, what was your favorite animal at the zoo?
C (grinning): The something wild ass.
D: Cory!
C (grinning bigger): Well, it was!
D: But, you aren't in front of that enclosure anymore.
C: Well, you asked me, Daddy, and the something wild aaaa…
D: Cory!
She laughs. The zoo has a few Somali wild asses. Since she was trying to read each of the signs and since there's nothing wrong with the first meaning of "ass", Daddy let her say it…as long as she was in front of that exhibit.
D: Fisher, what was your favorite?
F: I liked the seal lions. The ones swimming over our heads where you said it would be fun to take a nap.
D: It would be fun to take a nap there. Cory, besides the Somali wild ass, what was your favorite animal.
C: Well, I really liked the Somali wild ass.
D (switching to the "ignore" gear): Besides that…
C: Besides the Somali wild ass, I liked the one with the tongue, the one that you like.
D (ignore): The okapi?
C: Yah.
D: Okapis are cool.
F: It had a crazy tongue!
D: Yah, it kept trying to reach those leaves, but its neck wasn't long enough and its tongue wasn't long enough.
F: And it was purple!
C: Daddy, what color tongue does a Somali wild ass have?
D: I don't know.
C (still trying for a rise out of Daddy): I wonder if a Somali wild ass has a purple tongue.
D: Me, too.
C: Because I didn't see the Somali wild ass…(stumbling with the possessive)…tongue, so I don't know if it's purple.
The novelty will surely pass.

U.S. Sen. Hutchison to be honored by chamber
Updated 9:32 pm, Friday, March 23, 2012
On May 1, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, will become the first woman to receive the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce's most prestigious honor: the Pathfinder Award.
The chamber will bestow the award during a noon luncheon at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel downtown. The luncheon will follow an 11:30 a.m. registration. More than 400 people are expected to attend. Bexar County and the San Antonio River Authority also will honor the senator at another event May 1.
"Kay Bailey Hutchison has been a dynamo in assisting this community in its funding priorities and in protecting assets," said chamber President and CEO Richard Perez.
"It's as if San Antonio has had its own U.S. senator," said ex-chamber President and CEO Joe Krier. "She has been the greatest friend for San Antonio issues in the U.S. Congress for the last 20 years." Krier headed the chamber from 1987 to 2007.
Perez and Krier recalled various projects that Hutchison had a hand in achieving, primarily the 2005 base-closing round that made Fort Sam Houston the center for military medical training.

"The center would not have happened without her," Perez said. "San Antonio was the single-biggest winner of that base-closing round," Krier said, adding, "The military medical center will secure the presence of the military in San Antonio for the next 100 years."
Hutchison also oversaw legislation that has led to construction projects at Lackland and Randolph AFBs and at Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis, Perez said.
Krier said Hutchison was instrumental bringing the U.S. Army South headquarters to San Antonio and in providing federal seed money to start a cybersecurity center at the University of Texas at San Antonio, which has helped spawn the city's network security industry.
The chamber honor will come during the final full year Hutchison will be a senator. She is not running for re-election and will leave office in January.
"What better way to show appreciation as she transitions out as the senior senator from Texas?" Perez said.
"It's going to be huge loss for our community," said Krier, who is a principal at Krier Consulting Group. "We'll miss her seniority and her ability to deliver."
Hutchison, who was elected Texas state treasurer in 1990, was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1993 after the resignation of U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen. She was elected to her first full term in 1994 and won re-election in 2000 and 2006.
During the morning before the chamber luncheon, Hutchison also will be honored by the county and the river authority for her role in securing funding the redevelopment of the Mission Reach portion of the San Antonio River south of downtown, said Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff.
Previous winners of the Pathfinder Award are billionaire investor B.J. "Red" McCombs in 2011, former Chairman and CEO of AT&T Inc. and General Motors Co. Ed Whitacre in 2010, the late former Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe in 2009, and Gov. Rick Perry in 2008.The cost to attend the luncheon is $40 for chamber members and $55 for nonmembers. Corporate tables for eight start at $450. Registration can be arranged by calling the chamber at 210-229-2119 or going online to www.sachamber.org.

It was the year 2134, when a comet fell into the planet earth...making the delphinium straits.
"hmmm? a comet made into...straits..?" someone said.
"that is true sir, more of, an upstart forestland...than straits, but be that as it may, numerous sightings of those...what did you call them, sir?"
"enough with the sir crap, my name, is blaze, and there were green blasts emanating off the, how you said, forestland's coast" blaze said "and what is your name, savjaa?"
"my name isn't important...what is, is the fact of-"
"well your surely gonna tell me your name!"
"well, bahraa...you may call me, dess."
"alright then, dess, we both know that, that...green light wasn't natural, it was like a blast, so take one of the androids and investigate it, i know what your thinking, 'isn't that a little risky?' well it is, that's why your bringing the d-series android, we like to call him, deossyss, well, leave by the hour, and take the necessary items you could need, and best of luck, you'll need it, savjaa
"by the hour huh...well, I'll be on my way" dess said walking away.
-approx. 48 minutes later-
{so...this is that d-series robot, thing blaze told me about} dess thought.
"...what...is...the mission" deossyss, actually said.
"well...err we need to investigate...the straits" dess, scarcely said.
-the two reached the island in a matter of moments-
"the blast came from over here, deossyss, near the coast" dess said
"I'll scan it thoroughly, hold on" the android said.
"there's a life form, seems to be a teenager, if that, and, is making,..the blasts.!?" doessyss presumed.
"GRAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! atomic blitz!" he said.
"look out, dess!" doessyss said.
*crash! the blast blew deossyss' arm off, while protecting dess*
"deossyss!! no!! who the hell are you!?" dess screamed, as the boy emerged from the smoke.
"..." he stammered, "... my name, is azoless, now who might you be, and better yet, should i do the same to you, as i did that toy?" he said
-azoless seemed about roughly 5ft. 6, and in his early teen years, green hair and his hands were red, most likely from the blast, or else then, just a regular boy-
"keh! i'll tell you why, cause your under arrest, for destruction of peace" dess yelled.
"bah! what peace fool! i be the only on on this plane! besides you, but your most likely to die in a matter of minutes!" azoless batted.
"oh!? and why is that!" dess yelled back.
"hehehh...radiation...reason i wont die, is as the comet infused me with it's power! and as for the other 2 that will fall...let's...oh your already dead!" azoless barked.
"i just hope they don't reach the other 2...but i already reached this one, i cant be too careful now can i, fwahaha!!!

text: At the moment I'm stuck in the abyss of PCR Hell. I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me on getting amplification of CAP marker GAP B (Konieczny and Ausubel, The Plant Journal, 1993, 4(2) 403-415). I have changed my solutions and altered MgCl levels, as well as trying various DNA samples. I am trying to amplify from genomic DNA from Colombia and Landsberg. I have also tried other CAP primers and I haven't gotten amplification from those either. The conditions are the same as stated in the research article. Any advice would be helpful. A second question: Does anyone know of any enzymes that will get a RFLP between NDO and Col using CAP marker GAP B PCR product? Thanks for any suggestions, Alex

Asterisk cmd SetGroup
DescriptionSets the channel group to the specified value. Equivalent to SetVar(GROUP=group).
Use categories to sort specifc groupnames into super-groups, which is equivalent to SetVar(GROUP_category=group). Each channel = call leg can have its own group.
Also note the existence of the special variable $OUTBOUND_GROUP: that group will be assigned to the channels created by the dial() app. There is also OUTBOUND_GROUP_ONCE which is unset after use. Both OUTBOUND_GROUP and OUTBOUND_GROUP_ONCE supports group@category (for exampe OUTBOUND_GROUP=mygroup@mycategory)
This command is deprecated in Asterisk v1.2. Instead use
DetailsOne of the major recent additions to Asterisk is app_groupcount, that you can use to limit the number of calls to, well, just about anything. A SIP peer, a PRI link, a call center staff member, a conference and calls to or from your boy and/or girlfriend
The command for setting a group is setgroup(), the command for enforcing a limitation in Asterisk 1.0.x is checkgroup().
For Asterisk 1.2.x CheckGroup() has been deprecated, instead use a combination of the GotoIf application and the GROUP_COUNT() function.
Please start using this instead of the incominglimit and outgoinglimit settings in sip.conf. Outgoinglimit is not working as expected and the more general solution with app_groupcount is a much better solution that works cross channels. This is an end-of-life warning for outgoinglimit - but note that incominglimit will stay!
Bug in Asterisk 1.0.xAccording to bug 3067 transferred calls are not correctly managed by Asterisk 1.0.x with regard to the GROUP variable, so be aware!
Introduced with Asterisk 1.1 branchSee bug 2529
- adds GetGroupMatchCount, which accepts a regex for group name and returns total count of all matching groups found
- adds "group show channels" to the CLI, which lists all active channels that have groups assigned; also accepts a regex, which is matched against the group names
Example 1
exten => 999,1,SetGroup(moh) ;Set Current Group to moh
exten => 999,2,CheckGroup(1) ;Check moh does not have more than 1
exten => 999,3,Answer ;Answer the call
exten => 999,4,MusicOnHold(default) ;Play default Music on hold
exten => 999,103,Busy ;Play busy if 1 person is already listening
Example 2 (not correct? Read below!)Problem: How to limit incoming calls to SIP channels using the SetGroup & Checkgroup command. I don't want any call waiting on SIP channels!
Approach: One solution is to increment the GROUPCOUNT for both the caller and callee, to ensure the callee doesn't get a 2nd call while on the phone.
; increment GROUPCOUNT for the calling exten
exten => 200,1,SetGroup(${CALLERIDNUM})
; increment GROUPCOUNT for exten you are calling
exten => 200,2,SetGroup(${EXTEN})
; ensure this is the 1st call to this exten
exten => 200,3,CheckGroup(1)
; dial if we make it this far
exten => 200,4,Dial(200)
; CheckGroup jumped here, 200 is on the phone
exten => 200,104,Busy
You will also want to ensure you SetGroup(${CALLERIDNUM}) before dialing any outgoing numbers as well (to PSTN,etc). ie:
exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,SetGroup(${CALLERIDNUM})
Example 2 Revised.After braking my head on the above code (it just didn't work) I'm revising it (I'm not the author of the first one).
The problem with the above code is that setgroup is only incremented once per channel, and each channel can only be associated to one group (it's just a variable that is part of a channel), so if I do a setgroup(foo), then when I do setgroup(bar) group foo is reset to 0 (provided foo was 0 before). The workaround is to use setvar(OUTBOUND_GROUP=foo), this will set the called channel into it's own group (foo).
Alternatives: Instead you might want to look into the Local channel construct with /n in order to create yet another call leg for the same call that then can have another GROUP variable assigned to it. Or use the new @categories.
So here we go:
Problem: How to limit incoming calls to SIP channels using the SetGroup & Checkgroup command. I don't want any call waiting on SIP channels!
Approach: One solution is to increment the GROUPCOUNT for both the caller and callee, to ensure the callee doesn't get a 2nd call while on the phone.
; increment GROUPCOUNT for exten you are calling
exten => 200,1,SetGroup(${EXTEN})
; now check if the count is more than 1
exten => 200,2,CheckGroup(1)
; well if you got this far then the group count is <= 1, and one is from the calling channel,
; since this channel has only one leg
; now we can go ahead and set the group for our leg of the call, so that nobody can call us while we are on the phone.
exten => 200,3,SetGroup({CALLERIDNUM})
; now we set the group for the other leg of our call
exten => 200,4,SetVar(OUTBOUND_GROUP=${EXTEN})
; now dial
exten => 200,5,Dial(200)
; CheckGroup jumped here, 200 is on the phone
exten => 200,103,Busy
Simple update for Asterisk 1.4
; set the group for our leg of the call - called party, so that nobody call (before call setup)
exten => _20XX,1,Set(GROUP()=${EXTEN})
; check if the other person is on the phone
exten => _20XX,n,GotoIf($[${GROUP_COUNT(${EXTEN})}>1]?busy)
; set the group for our leg of the call - calling party, so that nobody can call us while we are on the phone
exten => _20XX,n,Set(GROUP()=${CALLERID(num)})
; set the group for the other leg of our call, so nobody can call them while we are on the phone
exten => _20XX,n,Set(OUTBOUND_GROUP=${EXTEN})
; dial the sip extension
exten => _20XX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
; busy / hangup if extension already on call
exten => _20XX,n(busy),Hangup
You will also want to ensure you SetGroup(${CALLERIDNUM}) before dialing any outgoing numbers as well (to PSTN,etc). ie:
exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,SetGroup(${CALLERIDNUM})
There might also be a way to work around the above by using categories (example: setgroup(${CALLERIDNUM}@${CALLERIDNUM}), and setgroup(${EXTEN}@$EXTEN})) but I havn't tested it yet. Please update if you do. ==> See Example 6
Example 3
see the superdial macro page
Example 4 (Matt Riddell's Example)
The idea is that when you do setgroup you are putting this caller into a group. I.E. you could have
exten => s,1,SetGroup(People_With_Short_Hair)
That would put anyone who visits this extension into the People_With_Short_Hair group.
Then if you do:
exten => s,2,CheckGroup(678)
You can make sure that there are not more than 678 people already in the People_With_Short_Hair group.
If there are more than 678 people in the group then the application will go to the priority x+101 where x is the current priority.
See the ,2, on the checkgroup line? That's the current priority. So, 2+101=103.
So you could have a line
exten => s,103,Playback(more_than_678_short_hair)
which would only be played if there are more than 678 people in the group.
If however there are less than or equal to the number inside the brackets for checkgroup (say for example there are 500 people who have short hair), then it will continue to the next priority.
As above, the current priority is 2 when you do the checkgroup, so the next priority is 3. This means that you can have the line:
exten => s,3,Playback(less_than 678_short_hair)
Now, if we put them all together you'd end up with:
exten => s,1,SetGroup(People_With_Short_Hair)
exten => s,2,CheckGroup(678)
exten => s,3,Playback(less_than_or_equal_to_678_short_hair)
exten => s,103,Playback(more_than_678_short_hair)
Example 5 (Tagapache's Example) using the GROUP() function.
SetGroup and CheckGroup have been deprecated in (i think the rel I have is 1.0.7). I get
horribly confused with CVS Head and which release I have at any one point.
Instead you use the GROUP() function. Here is a working fragment from a SAIL-generated dial plan.
It works very well, choking the outbound calls at whatever number is set. This won't work on stable
releases, at least up to 1.0.9.
; S T D V O I P - with choke
; ${ARG1} - full dial string
; Return ${DIALSTATUS} = CHANUNAVAIL if ${VOIPMAX} exceeded
exten => s,1,Set(GROUP()=OUTBOUND_GROUP) ;Set Group
exten => s,2,GotoIf($[${GROUP_COUNT()} > ${VOIPMAX}]?103) ;Exceeded?
exten => s,3,Dial(${ARG1}) ;dial it
exten => s,103,SetVar(DIALSTATUS=CHANUNAVAIL) ;deny call
${VOIPMAX} is a user-set Global which limits the concurrent number of outbound VOIP calls
Example 6 Using Categories in 1.0.x (Ramon's example)
Using categories you are able to set multiple groups on only one active channel.
So you are able to set the amount of calls on the called channel but also on the calling channel.
exten => 200,1,SetGroup(CW@${EXTEN})
; Increase the number of calls on the called channel
exten => 200,2,CheckGroup(1@CW)
; Check if called channel has more than 1 call
exten => 200,3,SetGroup(CW@${CALLERIDNUM})
; Increase the number of calls on the calling channel
exten => 200,4,Dial(SIP/200)
; Call the extension
exten => 200,103,Busy
; Checkgroup jumped here if there was more than 1 call.
Note that this works in Asterisk 1.0.7 and no longer in new releases, See Example 5 for more info...
Also Note that a problem in Asterisk 1.0.x will cause incorrect data on transfer of calls
Example 7 Using Categories in 1.2.x (Ramon's example)
Using categories you are able to set multiple groups on only one active channel.
So you are able to set the amount of calls on the called channel but also on the calling channel.
exten => 200,1,Set(GROUP(${EXTEN})=OUTBOUND_GROUP)
; Increase number of calls on the called channel
exten => 200,n,GotoIf($[${GROUP_COUNT(OUTBOUND_GROUP@${EXTEN})} > 1]?BLOCK)
; Check if called channel has more than 1 call.
exten => 200,n,Set(GROUP(${CALLERIDNUM})=OUTBOUND_GROUP)
; Increase number of calls on the calling channel
exten => 200,n,Dial(SIP/200)
; Call the extension
exten => 200,n(BLOCK),Busy
; GotoIf jumped here if the was more than 1 call using labels

We agree very much in that it is quite nuanced and complex, and perhaps there are even many 'truths'. I can even agree with the truth that Apple's meteoric rise from near bankruptcy to where they are at today is intriguing and even laudable. I also never said that some power users 'like' or even 'love' Apple products. As a personal example of knowing that truth, I have a very close college friend who does doctoral level AI research and uses iPads with autistic children. He is not a 'fanatic' though, and the only reason why now it is possible for him to use such a device in his work is because of the BSD-likeness of OS X on the server side of the equation.
However, it is still a truth that they are over-valued in the market, and this will eventually be corrected. It is also a truth that Apple is crossing that line into litigation as a means to secure, maintain, and defend a hoped for monopoly position. And we both are old enough to objectively have observed and know the truth that Apple under Jobs has always done historical revisionism in its marketing. It didn't happen during the Apple II years with Woz as a tempering influence. And it didn't happen during the years when Jobs was off at NeXT and Pixar. But under Jobs (either alive or dead) it has.
In a way responding to you about this, I am making a larger point with this as well. Because the Newton was created during the years when Jobs was gone, Apple didn't act then like they had invented the holy grail alone. Apple even licensed Hawkins character recognition software as their initial one didn't work out so well. So credit was given to Sculley and Apple for coining the term "PDA" even though they and all others knew there had been PDA's (in other forms and maybe not as successful but PDA's nonetheless) prior to the Newton and would be others thereafter. And by those of us who used Newtons, credit was given for their genuine innovations that they brought to the market segment.
Apple after Jobs is now showing us with this court case that Cook intends to keep Apple as they have been under Jobs. They and their 'fans' will continue the revisionist history-making to maintain their success. It has already happened here on OSNews in the linked article and thread about Samsung adding a 'dock' and thereby 'copying' Apple yet again. Seriously?!
I could write a psychological analysis on why this won't work but I will consider that for another time.
Good chatting with you.
There is a certain catechism about Apple so-called 'fans' that exists on this and other forums. All I can say about that is anecdotal. What I experience in my daily work in an enterprise with 5000+ people is a healthy mix of Apple and non-Apple devices. I don't run into many users who are sipping Steve Jobs kool aid.....they are simply using their iPads, iPhones and Macs for a variety of reasons. Same is true for the non-Apple users. I observe only a small number of 'fans' who see this as a platform religion....not limited to Apple device users.
Apple has a checkered history, and are ripe for critique about their practices. Only time will tell whether their ability to compete is adequate in the market, but the past 15 years have been (arguably) unparalleled in business annals. If I was a shareholder I would expect Apple to do whatever it takes to protect their intellectual property within the bounds of what the law allows. When they step over those bounds, I expect them to be slapped by the courts.

suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.
Jonathan LOUIE: Alluding to the potential of bricolage to produce hybrid forms based on the overlay of formal thoughts. . . .
Parti Wall is a performance that, through active negotiation, exposed the architectural sensibilities of the 9 mentor-led teams that occupy the 9 cells in the grid. Over the span of a single weekend, teams of mentors and students were asked to negotiate the boundaries that define their respective spaces while taking a position that leads to the co-construction of the walls that surround them.
Not only a purely extruded plane, walls are tectonic figurations that communicate ideology making them important as both a constructed component and over time a disciplinary marker. Stemming from the French term Prendre Parti, meaning "to make a decision," the Parti is considered to be the chief organizing thought behind an architect's design. The combination of terms, "Parti Wall," alludes to the potential of bricolage to produce hybrid forms based on the overlay of formal thoughts between two neighboring designers.
Sited in the central atrium of Slocum Hall, on axis with the Marble Room; the production of the project proposes a certain reverence to some of the principles that this school was built upon. While we associate the 9 square as a 20th century problem in architecture, in reality the Texas Rangers came upon a useful formal and spatial device that lends itself towards reinvention—for example, Eisenman's 9 square is not Koolhaas's 9 square, is not the Courthouse in Lockhart, Texas. Unlike the four square, or other geometries, the 9 square has a clear perimeter and a clear center. The versatility of the 9-square problem over time has offered several iterations: as an abstract spatial problem, a project on tectonics, and an indexing of form, and this reading as an infrastructure for an event.
In this rendition of the 9-square project, over the span of a single weekend two authors negotiated over the boundaries that define their respective spaces—with a particular interest in the center, edge, and surface. Each teams cell has an ideology or theme that takes a position towards the co-construction of the walls that surround them.

Since it's free standing it's ready to go when you are; no extra mounting hardware or stands are required.
As if this kind of utility weren't enough, this stylish panel comes stock in all of our standard colors, and all of our Guilford of Maine colors are available as well.
So what are you waiting for? Don't spend another minute struggling with that vocal, fighting with that drum sound or wondering what to do with those corners. GIK Acoustics has your solution… the GIK Acoustics Screen Panel!

Room Acoustics, The Basics: Bass Traps, Acoustic Panels, Diffusion
- This video explores the basics of room acoustics. Most of us use existing rooms such as bedrooms, living rooms or basements for a listening space versus high end recording studios that are designed with acoustics in mind. However there are ways to treat average-sized rooms to be utilized as control rooms, home theaters or two-channel listening rooms.
GIK Acoustics panels are available in our 9 standard, quality GIK Acoustics fabric options at no additional charge.
You may select any of the following 9 stocked Guilford of Maine FR701 colors right off the web site or contact us for a quote on any Guilford of Maine FR701, Anchorage, or other fabrics.

There's a difference between a GIK Acoustics product and all others on the market.
The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office issued utility patent US 9,091,060 for GIK's unique, proprietary design of its acoustic absorbers. The patent covers the design and construction of GIK Acoustics' 242 Acoustic Panels, 244 Bass Traps with FlexRange Technology, and Monster Bass Traps with FlexRange Technology.
In addition to our patent, we separate ourselves from other acoustic treatment manufacturers in 6 primary areas.
GIK Acoustics products are beyond simple do-it-yourself panels that are found on the market today. We start with only the highest-quality materials that will not sag or leak over time, then we build every panel by hand employing a unique two-frame system.
Unlike other companies who use inexpensive materials, GIK Acoustics panels are crafted with quality insulation material, fabrics and hardwood plywoods. We start with absorptive insulation material that is intended for room acoustics – not cheap mineral wool whose main purpose is to insulate a ship's engine room.
We then use carefully selected hardwood plywoods – not cheap imports – to construct our frames. The difference and chief advantage is dimensional stability. Crossbanded layers and balanced construction mean that hardwood plywood won't shrink, swell or warp as much as lumber. To finish our panels we offer an array of fine fabrics – from our standard 9 options to the full line of Guilford of Maine panel fabrics.
GIK Acoustics products are not only Greensafe, but they carry a Class A fire rating which means we continue to provide our clients with the safest most effective products available. The Class A fire rating means that GIK Acoustics treatments have received the highest rating possible under the ASTM E84, a test used by code officials and regulatory agencies in the acceptance of interior finish materials.
Our team of professional builders handcraft each acoustic panel, bass trap and diffusor to exacting standards ensuring the most attractive, effective and dependable products. The difference is our customers are secure in knowing they receive the very best made-to-order acoustic treatments available.
Dollar for dollar, GIK Acoustics' products absorb more sabins (sound) than any other product on the market. We provide our customers the most cost effective solution to make every space sound it's best.
GIK Acoustics Panels are tested and certified by the Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories (RAL) to provide the most accurate information on the results you can expect when you purchase our products.
Our exceptional cost-to-benefit ratio means our customers do not over-buy or over-treat a room to get results.
Customer satisfaction is our number one priority at GIK Acoustics.
We start by helping customers determine the best products to treat their space with our free, expert Acoustic Advice. Our well-respected design team has years of experience and are available to provide assistance not only with product selection but product placement within your room.
In addition to providing knowledgeable recommendations, GIK Acoustics maintains contact throughout the order process. Our trained Customer Service team ensures quality, timely delivery and reliability. And our staff is available to help with special needs or custom orders.
The GIK Acoustics difference is we assist with everything from product inquiries to custom orders to delivery notifications to satisfaction follow ups. We guarantee it.
When it comes to improving the sound quality in a room, many find the science to be overwhelming and the task of DIY'ing acoustic treatments to be daunting. Our solutions are based on the science of acoustics and one of the key dynamics to our success lies in demystifying sound dynamics and room acoustics. We are firm believers in education and our website is full of Educational Articles and Videos. It's long been our goal to help customers truly understand how sound behaves in a space and the importance and benefits of proper room treatment.
With our blog Acoustics & Audiogeekery, GIK Acoustics aims to explain what you're hearing and how to improve your audio. Our blog is a resource and a repository of discussions and techniques in the quest to make better audio. Audio is interesting – whether you're making music, mixing, or simply listening & enjoying – and manipulating technology to solve problems to improve audio is the essence of "audiogeekery."
Over the past 10 years, GIK Acoustics has pioneered a number of acoustic treatments that you can't find anywhere else. From the Tri-Trap Corner Bass Trap© to our Soffit Bass Trap© to the built in Scatter Plate, GIK continues to innovate. After a year of research & development, in 2013 we introduced FlexRange Technology – our unique, proprietary system for providing the best in bass trapping and low end absorption.
In 2015 we launched the Alpha Series, a line of acoustic panels and bass traps with a wood face which has a mathematical sequence of slots for one-dimensional scattering / diffusion. The Alpha Series literally changes the face of acoustic panels and bass traps by beautifully combining absorption with diffusion and enhancing any room both aesthetically and acoustically with superior quality, high-performing, and stylish room treatments.
GIK Acoustics is also proud to have launched creative, unique products such as: the multifunctional PIB (Portable Isolation Booth), the decorative and effective Impression Series, and the striking, precise Gotham N23 5″ Quadratic Skyline Diffusor.
We are constantly innovating, so look for more solutions and creative treatments from GIK Acoustics.
It's our commitment to use environmentally safe materials for all our products. We use ECOSE absorption material, eco-friendly wood and we offer customers recycled fabric options as well. Greensafe means GIK Acoustics products are friendlier on air quality, the environment, and your budget.
