The Merits of Be Real Shoes
These sound great! I was hoping the video would have a slow motion clip of a person walking in them. I'm interested to know if the heel of the shoe stays with the heel of the foot so that a proper ball strike first gait can be maintained while wearing these without the heel of the shoe shuffling along the ground/floor. Can you tell me if it does, please?
Hello, Wendi,
Thank you for your thoughtful post. One thing we love most about Be Real Shoes is that they absolutely allow for each individual's feet to be their feet inside the minimalist covering of gear.
Because that is so, if an individual has developed an optimal ball-striking gait, these shoes will allow for that to continue to occur. Further, we feel these shoes can help to encourage the wearer to develop such a gait over time.
Excellent question! We hope this response has addressed your inquiry appropriately. Please do let us know if we can be of further assistance.
All best,
Sarah K. Schuetz

Record of Life Out June 30, 2015
The Paper Arrows Lead Man Goes It Alone With A Direct, Personal and Vivid New Record
Chicago, IL, 2015 –Joe Goodkin is the founder of the band, Paper Arrows, a popular Chicago-based pop and indie rock band. You may also know him as the musician who travels the country performing his award-winning and unique interpretation of The Odyssey—a 30 minute song cycle that adapts Homer's classic work.
Releasing Record of Life on Quell Records—a label he launched 8 years ago—this is the first record under his own name. Finding that The Odyssey was generating a lot of interest and reaction that he hadn't been tapping into with Paper Arrows, Goodkin tried to replicate the emotional, creative and business paradigms from the folk-opera into a more conventional folk/rock/indie release.
With the city of Chicago serving as a stationary landscape, Goodkin constructs ambient creative guitar soundscapes on Record of Life. Using one guitar for the record Goodkin layered the sound, "Up to five times on some tracks", he said. "I used a 1963 Gibson ES-125t, which I believe is haunted." He explains further, "It seems to have a character of its own. And I wanted that to come out on the record, almost like a personality, since any noise not my voice was created by that guitar I felt it was like a band mate. There were also a couple situations where the guitar generated notes I wasn't playing, overtones and undertones, perfectly in tune and complementary."
This intensely personal six song EP kicks off with the song "Cat and Dog". The main theme in this song concerns regret and setting aside that regret and failure in pursuing truth and success.As a nod to his band, the "songs about divorce" referenced is the Paper Arrows song, "Tell the Kids". "Gray" is the first song written for the album and is a moving contemplation on the fragility of life. During the creative process, Goodkin lost both the dog mentioned in the first verse and his Grandpa, the character in the second verse, making the song that much more poignant.
"My Friends" is song written about the last Grateful Dead show in 1995 and what happens to childhood friendships as you get older. The song starts with Goodkin's single, subdued voice which builds into a culmination of eight voices (all Goodkin) singing in choir format. "Three Ghosts" is a song about seeing three ghosts who had all committed suicide. Goodkin claims the story is true, "Every word of it. It all happened." The song touches on three different losses that though separated by nearly 20 years still resonated with the artist. A song about family memories, "As Old As I Am Now" and the thoughtful, "Something to Love" end the album. "Something to Love" was the last song written for the album. It ties in The Odyssey and adds resolution to the record. "And whether it's rock and roll songs or epic poetry, it comes straight from my heart," sings Goodkin.
Goodkin describes his audience, "People who like quiet music. People who like stories. People who want to cry and be moved." Taking general life experiences and then divulging specifics about his life, Goodkin's fans seem to be affected by his directness and risk-taking. "To me, being moved by other people is inspiring.", he said, "Hearing important and moving art. And the feeling of creating. It's more a need than something I'm just inspired to do."

Our First Fight Over the Kid
My wife and I had our first fight involving our baby before she was even born.
The mother-in-law
My mother-in-law is something else. Aren't most of them? She has no shame and no internal monologue. Anything she is thinking, just comes right out of her mouth, unfiltered. This can make dealing with her a bit difficult at times. She has a habit of inviting herself to events and along on trips. She means well and her heart is usually in the right place, but it can be easy to take her the wrong way.
As my wife progressed in her pregnancy, the mother-in-law made it clear that she wanted to attend the birth.
My wife
My wife is one of the sweetest and kindest people I know. One of her flaws is that she cannot say "no" to her mother. The first several times the mother-in-law asked to attend the birth, my wife just said she would think about it.
We discussed it several times, and the answer became clear.
My wife did not want her to attend the birth.
I did not want her to attend the birth.
We wanted the birth to be a special time between the two of us and our new baby. We wanted to ensure we had a few hours to bond with the baby before we had to deal with family. It wasn't just our child being born, our new family was being born. Our joint decision was clear, we did not want her at the birth.
My wife kept putting off the discussion with her mother.
The dinner
A few weeks before my wife was due, we were out to dinner with my mother and mother-in-law. The mother-in-law brought up her request again and kept pushing the point. My wife kept deferring it to later, but she kept pushing. Finally, my wife said she didn't care it was up to me! "Why don't we let dad decide" I think were her exact words.
Oh man, suddenly I became livid. I swallowed my anger with my wife and did my best to keep an even head. I was boiling on the inside. I couldn't believe my wife was doing this to me. We came to a mutual decision several weeks before, and my wife didn't have the guts to tell her mother. She was making me out to be the bad guy.
This is the kind of thing that will make your mother-in-law hold a lifelong grudge.
I explained to my mother-in-law as calmly as I could that I think it would be best for all of us if she wasn't in the room. My wife and I would be stressing out as it was, and we didn't need another person to worry about. It would be a long and tiring process and we would let her know as soon as the baby was born.
She nodded okay. But clearly, she was upset and felt hurt.
The aftermath
We finished dinner and went about our evening. The mothers had to go shopping somewhere, and my wife and I were left alone for a little bit. I took the opportunity to bring up the issue with my wife.
I explained (as calmly as I could) that I was very, very upset that she pushed this major decision onto me. She had made me the "bad" guy when it was a joint decision. Her mother was clearly upset with me and would probably hold a grudge for a very long time about this.
My wife took the high road and told me she understood. She didn't seem to know why I was upset or just how upset I was. She said she would talk to her mother about it. She would make it clear that it was a joint decision.
I don't know if she ever did talk to her mother. I'm sure she did because she told me she did. Her mother doesn't seem to have grudge or be upset with me. I just hope we don't have the same type of issue in the future as we embark on raising our child.
Dads, have you had issues with your partner pushing tough decisions on to you? How did you handle it?

At least there's some semblance left of sanity in the Texas state legal system. Now that the outrageous abduction of the children of the YFZ ranch has been ruled unlawful, can we now expect a swift reunion of the shattered families? Time will tell. One thing stands out from all this though and that is Christianity is under attack from the powers that be.
Can you imagine such a raid happening to a Jewish, separatist community? Neither can I. It was also instructive to note that on last night's Larry King Show, that the 'legendary interviewer' took the Mormon guests to task on what TV access they allowed their kids at the ranch! Among some of the dumb questions, King asked for clarification on the following:-
1.Is TV allowed in the ranch and if not why not?
2.Are children allowed access to TV?
3.If there are no TV sets, are individuals barred from bringing in their own?
For God´s sake, Larry, since when has watching TV been compulsory?? I´ll wager the abducted kids have no shortage of access to the jewtube all day long whilst they remain in 'protective custody'!
So there you have it, friends: try raising your kids in a clean wholesome environment free from poisonous cultural influences and 'The Man' will come and take 'em away. On the other hand, the Jews get away with child sacrifice (provided it's done kosher) and no one gives a shit! What a world we live in...

St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals have what it takes to swing a deal. But does Stanton want to come to St. Louis?
Put Giancarlo Stanton in the middle of the Cardinals' lineup and suddenly an offense that stalls every 90 feet becomes one that can put a crooked number on the board with a single swing of the bat.
Imagine the likely National League MVP and his 59 home runs parked behind guys who reach base like Matt Carpenter, Dexter Fowler and Tommy Pham. Now think back to those nearly seven runners the Redbirds left on base every night.
Tell me Stanton doesn't take the Cardinals offense from exasperating to explosive.
Can it happen? Only if the conservative Cardinals are willing to part with a few of their cost-controlled prospects and, more importantly, if a West Coast guy like Stanton will accept a trade to flyover country.
The latter seems to be the bigger question.
According to Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald, "a baseball source said yesterday that he's been told Stanton will not accept a trade to either the Red Sox or the Cardinals ...."
His source is far from water-tight, but this isn't the first time we've heard rumblings that the biggest prize on this year's trade market will leverage his no-trade clause with great prejudice and that the Cardinals, apparently, are not on his short list.
That is, unless you believe Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston, who says Stanton's mind remains wide open.
The mixed signals could add sticky nuance to an already complicated negotiation.
Stanton is still owed $285 million over the next 10 seasons and the Cardinals are widely viewed as the team most able to swing a deal. With a new billion-dollar television contract falling due in 2018, they have the money. With a wealth of young outfielders and pitching prospects, they have exactly what the Marlins need to reboot.
But any deal will have to factor in the remainder of Stanton's record contract, how much of it the Marlins are willing to pay, and how that influences what they can reasonably expect to get in return?
Yet, in the end, Stanton still holds all the cards. There aren't enough young arms to bring him to St. Louis if he doesn't want to be here.
And how long can the Cardinals wait on Stanton before moving to Plan B?
They still will have to find a thumper for the middle of the order or limp into 2018 with the same anemic lineup that's whiffed on the postseason each of the last two years.
So what is Plan B?
Rumors suggesting the availabilty of Toronto's slugging third baseman Josh Donaldson are apparently nothing more than that.
National baseball writer Buster Olney says the Blue Jays aren't shopping him. Even if they were, he'll be a free agent at the end of 2018. Should the Cardinals invest a prospect for a one-year rental?
Royals free agent third baseman Mike Moustakas and his 38 home runs would be a good fit that allows the Cardinals to leave Matt Carpenter at first. Eric Hosmer, who hits for a better average, would be a good fit, too, though he would push the defensively challenged Carpenter to the hot corner.
Both are left-handed hitters which is a bonus. But National baseball writer Jon Heyman reported yesterday that the Royals are still considering bringing both back.
That would leave free-agent outfielder J.D. Martinez, who hit .303 with a career-best 45 home runs between the Tigers and Diamondbacks in 2017. He'll likely command a $200-million deal, too, and at 30, is the oldest of the Cardinals' options.
General Manager meetings in Orlando close Thursday night, then we're on to the Winter Meetings next month. Let's hope there's still a deal left to be made.
And let's hope it's for somebody who either doesn't have a no-trade clause or who really likes toasted ravioli.

ESA Education's European Student Earth Orbiter (ESEO) micro-satellite mission is aimed at providing students with valuable and challenging hands-on space project experience across all disciplines and throughout the full project lifecycle in order to fully prepare a well qualified space workforce for the future. Our university's students and teachers have been participating for several years in this project with the support of the Space Research Group at the BME Department of Broadband Infocommunicatons and Electromagnetic Theory. Presently, three subsystems are being developed in Hungary for the ESEO spacecraft: the Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS), the TriTel 3-D radiation dosimetry experiment and the baseline of the present document, the Langmuir Probe experiment (LMP).
The data acquisition and measurement control electronics of the LMP plasma diagnostic experiment is designed with respect to the special requirements due to space environment operation: the payload is exposed to extreme mechanical and thermal load during the launch of the carrier rocket, together with further corpuscular radiation in space. Restricted power consumption was another essential design aspect.
The subject of my BSc thesis is the development of the LMP subsystem programming interface. In this paper, I present this as conclusion of our former and overlapping hardware design work.
The processing unit of the panel performing the experiment's digital data acquisition and control functions is 8051 architecture-based microcontroller implemented on an Actel FPGA. Its advantage is that some necessary peripherals and supplementary logic circuits can be embedded into the FPGA with respect to specific goals. However, equipment and programming of these can differ from common solutions. Standardised and/or higher level management of the various analog and communications interfaces, memories and other peripherals demand design of an application programming interface (API). The API is essentially a device driver software, that includes functions with which the measurement control software for the data acquisition module can be implemented more simply and efficiently. The objective and operation of these functions and their respectively controlled hardware parts is introduced in my thesis.

Fresh off a weekend sweep of the Lakeland Tigers, the St. Petersburg Swans – now 5-1 and on top of the 2018 Major League Footy Premiership Season ladder – will spend the next two weeks observing as other MLF sides jockey for ladder position.
With the Tampa Bay Bombers (1-0) facing off Saturday in a matinee double-header rematch with currently cellar-dwelling Clearwater (0-2), the Red and White would be well-served by a Kangas' sweep.
On the other hand, a Bombers' sweep would see Tampa Bay rocket into a solid 2nd spot on the ladder.
In their previous match, it was all Tampa Bay in the debut of the Bomber side into the competition, with a 53-point final margin never in doubt.
The St. Petersburg Swans will return to the competition Saturday, June 23 with a visit to South Florida to take on the hosting the Miami Saints (2-1).
The St. Petersburg Swans train every Wednesday and Thursday at 6 PM at Rollbotto Oval at Crescent Lake Common in St. Petersburg.
Scrimmages and MLF matches follow full training sessions, 10 AM Saturdays – also at Rollbotto Oval at Crescent Lake Common.
All trainings, practices and competitions are always free, and are open to co-ed players of all ages and skill level.

Our research uses experimental and theoretical methods to investigate the fundamental inter- and intramolecular forces that drive the course of chemical reactions. To experimentally probe the detailed molecular dynamics, both nuclear and electronic, during a chemical reaction we use a combination of molecular beam reactive scattering and laser spectroscopic techniques. Traditionally, predicting rate constants and microscopic dynamics has relied on statistical transition state theories or, in smaller systems, quantum scattering calculations on a single adiabatic potential energy surface that provides the barriers to each reaction. However, a reaction evolves on a single potential energy surface only if the Born-Oppenheimer separation of nuclear and electronic motion is valid. Some of our work investigates classes of important chemical reactions where the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation near the transition state alters the dynamics and markedly reduces the reaction rate. [Review article] In other studies, we investigate bimolecular reactions by selectively producing each of the radical intermediates along the bimolecular reaction coordinate and probing the branching to product channels from each radical intermediate. See the publications page for important applications to atmospheric and combustion chemistry.

Who Will Speak Up?
November 21, 2007
I don't have words to adequately describe how sick this makes me feel. A 19-year-old woman was raped by seven men, and because she was with an "unrelated male" at the time, she's being whipped and sent to jail. Initially, she was sentenced to 90 lashes, but because she spoke out, it's been upped to 200.
And our state department has "expressed astonishment" but nothing stronger, and their "astonishment" wasn't even expressed to Saudi officials. So, wait, it's okay for politicians to go into a frenzy when Barack Obama doesn't wear an American flag on his lapel, as though that proves that he hates America, yet this elicits… the equivalent of shaking a finger in admonishment – "Naughty, naughty!"
The only person I can see who's gone on record so far with anything stronger is leaving her job in 2008.
Moveon.org takes out an ad about Gen. David Petraeus, and we get a Congressional resolution to denounce it.
It will be interesting to see if any of our current candidates or leaders have anything to say about this as the day goes on. Somehow, I'm guessing it'll be pretty much ignored, and will fall off of the news sites in lieu of celebrity scandals and Thanksgiving travel stories.
Aside from writing letters to my representatives, I'm not sure what else I can do, aside from a donation to Amnesty International. Suggestions welcome.
I found the pin thing and the Betray Us kerfluffle idiotic and time-wasting enough as it was. Set beside this – which (dear god, I hope they prove me wrong here) I think will get downplayed because we want Saudi Arabia to co-sponsor a conference aimed at getting Israel and Palestine to have peace talks – those past things are all the more stupid.
This is something to get angry about.
Experiment: The Finger or not the Finger…
October 30, 2007
This is my buddy Nikkos' blog–my pal from my Metroblogging days. Way back in the day (2005) we got into a number of political debates with a variety of people. Some of them even operated with a modicum of respect and diligence.
Most of us here at the Finger have a left of Center view. William, in Nikkos' blog, does not. My typical reaction is one of this
Lets see how it turns out, okay?

East German Swim Team Refugee Hates Iran
October 4, 2007
The the Daily Mail has an article on this Debra Cagan, pictured below,
that states Ms. Cagan was clear about her hatred of "All Iranians."
Given her position in the Pentagon (Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs ), and the current war footing the administration has towards Iran, these comments are terrifying and completely inappropriate.
War mongering bigots get the finger. The also should be fired.

If They Actually Do It
August 16, 2007
(Yes, I'm lazy and cross-posting. Shut up.)
OJ's getting published after all. Ugh.
Although, it seems like we might be able to put published in quotes. Like this: "published."
When Sharlene Martin, the agent, announced that a New York publisher was interested and a deal had been reached, I wondered who on earth would pick it up, after all the hell that was raised when Harper tried putting it out late last year. I couldn't imagine, even in these days where any sensational news story seems to lead to a book being crashed into the list, that any of the big five would go anywhere near it.
Turns out none of them did. The book is being published by Beaufort Books, a small press who, up until this book at least, splits the cost of publishing with the authors.
Splitting the cost is a pretty way of saying the authors pay to be published. Yog's Law: Money flows toward the writer. (Yog is author James D. MacDonald, who is always watching out for new writers in danger of being scammed over on the Absolute Write forums.)
It seems pretty shady – they took the splitting-the-cost blurb off of their website. The publisher, Eric Kampmann, won't even throw out a ballpark number for the announced first printing when asked in an interview with Publishers Weekly. Something like this, I'd expect at least 100,000. I don't know how many Harper pulped, but it was at least that.
I have immense respect for Denise Brown. How Kampmann could sit beside her on The Today Show and not be horribly ashamed, I can't even begin to fathom.
The next question is, what are booksellers going to do with it? It's a tough question for all of them – whether or not to carry it, and if they do, how many copies? Should it stay behind the counter or be put on display? If they choose not to bring it into the store initially, will they be willing to special order it for customers?
There is absolutely a morbid curiosity factor to the whole thing. I'd imagine there would be a good chunk of customers who would come into the store, flip through to the chapter where he describes the murder, and put it back on the shelf without buying it. I also wonder how many people who would normally buy books from their local indie would instead order it through Amazon or B&N rather than be seen purchasing it.
This book was a bad idea. It's still a bad idea, no matter how much they're trying to spin it as benefitting charities and becoming the Goldmans' book. Personally, I wouldn't bring it into my store, if I had one. I think I l would special order it for interested customers, simply because I hate the idea of telling people what they can and can't read, but I'd be uncomfortable doing it.

A former president of the alumni association, Charles LiMandri, told UT San Diego (http://bit.ly/Hwm3HR ) that the cross-dressing fashion show is lewd entertainment. He says some 7,000 people have signed a petition opposing it.
However, an alumni group has formed to support it.
University spokeswoman Pamela Gray Payton says the show is 1 of several events planned by students to foster understanding of gender non-conformity.
But LiMandri, whose son attends the school, says Catholics don't believe in gender flexibility.

After countless hours of idea generating, explorations, and post-production work, here is the new iteration of the biweekly show I do for the McGill Office for Science and Society: Cracked Science.
In the vein of Last Week Tonight, the show tackles important topics (mine having to do with science and pseudoscience) with humour. This episode explores the seventh largest donation ever to a single American public university and why it should worry us.
And just what is integrative medicine?
"So is that why you came here, then? Just to pour cold water all over us? Just to sneer up your snotty sleeve? If you can't take it seriously, why try and ruin our happiness?"
You might be forgiven for thinking that Stephen Fry's The Hippopotamus--a 1994 novel and now a theatrical release--is a British comedy of manners featuring a cantankerous, cynical drunk. But the novel itself, written in Fry's delightfully brilliant voice, is actually a skeptical whodunnit involving alternative medicine.
The hippopotamus of the title refers to protagonist Ted Wallace, a poet and former drama critic, who is hired by his god-daughter to investigate miraculous happenings at the country mansion of Ted's rich friend. The god-daughter had leukaemia and visited the grand ole house in Norfolk... and she became cancer free, much to the puzzlement of her physicians. How was she healed?
The writing is simply superb, as any fan of Stephen Fry's might imagine, with Ted Wallace as a crustier, more cynical alter ego who serves up the kind of witty repartee we have come to expect from the author himself.
But it is the novel's late focus on skepticism and rationality which really made me proud. While the main character does exhibit the traits of a good skeptic in investigating the matter, I will not reveal whether or not the story itself takes place in the real world or in...read more
A lot of people believe that personal experience with a health product or intervention is good evidence that it works. Here's why anecdotes don't make for reliable evidence, and why the plural of "anecdote" is not "data".
Celebrities often act as popularizers of health fads and pseudoscientific claptrap. You may have heard the latest: intravenous vitamins.
Do you have a hangover? You need intravenous vitamins. Jet lag? IV vitamins. Trying to lose weight? That's right: IV vitamins.
Tim Caulfield debunks this latest myth in a piece he published in the National Post:
"IV therapy is just the most recent and intense version of the illogical "more-vitamins-the-better" mentality. Let's be absolutely clear: there is no evidence to support the idea that IV vitamin therapy provides any of the health benefits promised by its purveyors. Moreover, there is no evidence that getting vitamins faster, or bypassing the digestive system, provides any health benefits. Unless you have a fairly serious condition that has caused a severe clinical deficiency, the best way to get your vitamins is through the food that you eat."
Even intravenous hydration is now being touted as a cure-all, but the evidence actually goes the other way:
"In fact, there is little evidence to support the idea that using an IV is a better way to hydrate. Intuitively, it may seem more effective because the fluid is being pumped straight into you veins. But in most situations, hydrating the old way - a process known in scientific circles as "drinking water" - is just as effective, or, some studieshave...read more
I am genuinely curious to hear from people who went to see a chiropractor, acupuncturist, homeopath, or naturopath and were told, "Sorry! Can't help you!" I doubt it happens often.
Every month, the podcast will conclude with a segment entitled Cracked Science in which I criticize bad science and talk pseudoscience. Here's the transcript from the latest segment:
Self-appointed gurus and nonsense-loving naturopaths will often say that there is a need for complementary medicine. They will proclaim, confidently, that medicine treats symptoms but does not address the whole of the patient. That's where alternative medicine comes in, to complete the unfinished and only-mildly-satisfying conventional medicine like some sort of soul mate.
This is a straw man. And like Burning Man, it has a strong esoteric component to it and deserves to go up in flames. If a person attacks you, you can't stab a scarecrow and pretend you've defeated your enemy. Likewise, in debating, you cannot refute a false argument and pretend you deserve the WWE title belt.
A molecule called salicin is available in the bark of the willow tree, a natural product if I ever heard one. For millennia, humans gathered anecdotal evidence that it worked to relieve aches. The molecule itself was isolated in 1828 by two chemists, but it caused stomach upset, so Felix Hoffmann created a slightly different version of it, called acetylsalicylic acid, which we can now buy from Big Pharma and is commonly prescribed by conventional doctors. You might have heard of it : it's known as...read more
There's a revolution happening called integrative medicine. Take a tablespoon of conventional medicine and a tablespoon of alternative medicine, and you get the best of both worlds, right? Watch as I bring Dr. Crislip's "apple pie + cow pie" analogy to life... and taste it.
Why is there a communication problem between science-based medicine advocates and believers in naturopathy? The reason may be epistemology.
These days, every product seems to have an "I" in front of it, as if marketing is reflecting our narcissistic preoccupations: iPhone, iCloud, iPod. This focus on the individual reaches beyond technology. Speak to an alternative medicine practitioner and you are bound to hear that conventional medicine treats the symptoms, but they treat the individual as a whole.
This may be pleasing to the ears if your physician has terrible bedside manners, but this allegation is clearly false and rather silly. If I broke a bone and my symptom is acute pain, a conventional doctor will not merely give me a painkiller and send me on my way. Ditto for cancer, where surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapeutic drugs all target the disease, not the symptoms of pain, fatigue, and bloody stool.
Where this fallacy may have come from is medical specialty. If I have colon cancer, Chris, who is a cardiologist and not an oncologist, cannot help me. When it comes to alternative therapies, however, I would like to hear from clients who went to a chiropractor and who were told, "You know what? I don't see a subluxation on this X-ray. I cannot help you." I would wager this rarely if ever happens....read more
"It works for me," people say about all sorts of natural remedies and alternative treatments. Let's see if this argument holds up. Ever heard of "regression to the mean"?

The aim of this work is to introduce the physics community to the high performance of radial basis functions (RBFs) compared to other spectral methods for modeling transport (pure advection) and to provide the first known application of the RBF methodology to hyperbolic partial differential equations on a sphere. First, it is shown that even when the advective operator is posed in spherical coordinates (thus having singularities at the poles), the RBF formulation of it is completely singularity free. Then, two classical test cases are conducted: (1) linear advection, where the initial condition is simply transported around the sphere and (2) deformational flow (idealized cyclogenesis), where an angular velocity is applied to the initial condition, spinning it up around an axis of rotation. The results show that RBFs allow for a much lower spatial resolution (i.e. lower number of nodes) while being able to take unusually large time-steps to achieve the same accuracy as compared to other commonly used spectral methods on a sphere such as spherical harmonics, double Fourier series, and spectral element methods. Furthermore, RBFs are algorithmically much simpler to program.

Correct Me If I'm Wrong
April 28, 2010
calling Arizona's new immigration law "racist" are not only wrong--but
also hypocritical to the bitter core. This cohort (which includes the Catholic
Church and the National Day Labor Organizing Network) have excoriated the bill
as nothing more than a wildly draconian measure designed to persecute people of
This, of course--is typical left-wing propaganda. Arizona's new policy simply mirrors federal law which strictly prohibits any individual (irrespective of race, creed or color) from entering the United States illegally.
That said--I have yet to hear the above mentioned groups hector the Mexican government over the fact that its southern border (with Central and South America) is an armed fortress. And-- according to numerous reports--any individual who attempts to breach this boundary is shot on site.
Correct me if I'm wrong--but aren't the denizens of Central and South America considered people of color?

More Insidious Than Islam
April 27, 2010
One of
the most painfully dramatic events (subsequent to the 9/11 attacks) is still
etched on the tissues of my psyche: When our government--without a hint of
hesitation--publicly proclaimed that Islam was a religion of "peace and
This feeble proclamation contravened centuries of well documented history (most of it written by Islamic scholars) that clearly detailed the hyper-brutality and misogynistic proclivities of this archaic religion.
Truth be told--the only way to violate such history is to be totally blinded by the one thing even more insidious than Islam: Political Correctness.

Sad Day, Indeed
April 26, 2010
Army's decision to abrogate its invitation to Evangelist Franklin Graham (who
was slated to be the keynote speaker at next month's National Day of Prayer
event at the Pentagon) is a stunning act of conspicuous cowardice. The verdict
(handed down by military bureaucrats who labor feverishly in the fields of
political correctness) was based on the fact that Graham called Islam an
"evil" religion.
Graham's reason for labeling Islam evil is--in my unwavering estimation--dead center. Why? Because the religion is an historically destructive dogma, which not only foments the violent genocide of all non-adherents (think Armenian Christians)--but also teaches that women are nothing more than subservient objects. The latter--which the reverend has discussed infinitum--is evident in a vast majority of Islamic countries (including so-called mainstream ones such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia) that execute women for simply appearing in public without a male overseer.
The Army (which I profoundly respect) seems to be taking its cue from the Muslim Brotherhood--a rabid terrorist organization that profusely campaigns for the elimination of all forms of criticism against Islam.
It is a very sad day, indeed--when one of our nation's most venerated institutions has apparently sided with an organization whose modus operandi is: Death to America!

Too Preoccupied To Notice

one of the primary targets of Islamo-jihad is free speech. From the attaches on
author Salman Rushdie to film maker Theo van Gogh to Danish cartoonists to the
current threats being levied against the creators of "South Park" for
depicting the prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during a recent episode--Muslim
theocrats (and their barbarous subordinates) know that once they uproot this
most sacrosanct pillar of Western Civilization (WC): A global Islamic Hegemony
won't be far behind.

Criticizing His Cracker Side
April 20, 2010
Yes, it's emphatically true...the Libs are shameless. In a lame and hypocritical attempt to eliminate administration dissenters from the public discourse, they have (and continue to) label Americans who participate in the Tea Party protests as racists.
Gee...how, um, clever!
So, according to the Left, if one happens to be 'white' and criticizes Obama's policies...he/she is a racist? How exactly is that possible, when Obama is only HALF black? After all, his mommy was a white woman. So does that make the critic half-a-racist?
Nice try, Libs.
I, and millions of other concerned Americans...who happen to be white...are critical of Mr. Obama because we have assessed his ideology and policies and have deemed them highly destructive to our Constitutional Republic...and a great threat to our freedoms.
So, for the record...those of us, who God has created with lighter skin, are aiming ALL our criticism at Obama's cracker side!

First Love: Hate Of Country
April 19, 2010
How disturbingly hypocritical that the party of Pelosi and Reid remained reticent during the hyper-malicious anti-war demonstrations (which featured a cornucopia of individuals burning Bush in effigy, desecrating the American flag, calling for the assassination of a sitting president, destroying public property, labeling our soldiers baby killers, espousing violence against returning Iraq vets, sabotaging domestic military supply lines, etc.)--and yet has been nothing short of shrill in its public condemnation of the visibly peaceful, respectful and civil Tea Party rallies.
It is this virulent strain of hypocrisy that best epitomizes the Democrat Party's first love: Hate of country.

Obama: Down The Rabbit Hole Again
April 16, 2010
The line between reality and fantasy got blurred again by the Obama administration...and, if you read between the lines...it's another slap across Israel's face...
Wednesday evening, a ceremony was held at the Israeli Embassy in DC to celebrate the Jewish State's 62nd Independence Day. Again, in a show of disrespect for Israel (taking into consideration his recent abominable behavior toward PM Netanyahu), Obama sent David Axelrod in his place.
And to add insult to injury (as if Axelrod wasn't insult enough)...O's message to the many present was absurd. According to Ynetnews.com, Axelrod said a two-state solution was in the interest of Israel, the Palestinians and the US...and that the absence of such a solution would make it difficult for Israel to maintain its Jewish and democratic identity.
WOW...did someone spike the punch?
What on earth is Axelrod talking about? How exactly does a 2-state solution positively impact the Jewish State? If the Gaza surrender is any indication, then the Israeli citizenry should be supplied with bomb shelters and hazmat suits in preparation.
But I guess I shouldn't wonder considering that this is emanating from the man, with the Cheshire Cat smile, who wins a Nobel Peace Prize for merely DESIRING peace. So it follows that anything is possible...even for Israel to maintain its identity and democracy by agreeing to give its land away to a group of people who deny their right to exist...and would rather see them floating face-down in the sea.
It's looking more and more like this administration fell down a rabbit hole...and they can't get up.

Perplexing, Indeed
April 15, 2010
of the most perplexing (if not egregious) issues I have ever dealt with in
the political realm is the following: Why do a majority of American Jews
support Democrats? After all--two of our nations most dogmatically rabid
and sordid anti-Semites happen to be Dems. Of course I'm referring to
Jimmy Carter and Barrack Hussein Obama.
These two demonstrably pro-Arab politicos have (throughout their jaded careers) labored vigorously to ridicule, castigate, undermine and threaten Israel. And why do I believe this? Because they have gone to extensive lengths to proffer olive branches to the very Islamic-terror regimes and organizations (Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.) that violently oppose the very existence of the Jewish State.
Perplexing, indeed.

The Vatican & The Jews: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
April 14, 2010
(Note: To all my Catholic friends...this is not meant to bash Catholicism, but rather to pressure the hierarchy in the Church to seriously deal with an issue which has been systemic for centuries.)
A dark cloud has hovered over the Catholic church for some time now. Am I referring to the ongoing Priest-Pedophile sex scandal? No, as heinous as that is, this disgrace has tainted the Church from Origen of Alexandria in the 3rd Century to the present day. It has caused divisions and proliferated hatred toward a certain group, unjustly...and has betrayed the very doctrine of and the central Person of worship in the Church.
The cloud: Anti-Semitism.
Since Pope John Paul II, much has been done to try to reconcile the virulent rift between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people. Some of the work includes:
1998 - The Vatican Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews issues the document We Remember: A Reflection on the 'Shoah': "We wish to turn awareness of past sins into a firm resolve to build a new future in which there will be no more anti-Judaism among Christians or anti-Christian sentiment among Jews, but rather a shared mutual respect as befits those who adore the one Creator and Lord and have a common father in faith, Abraham"
1998 - The Italian Bishops address a letter to the Jewish community of Italy, expressing the "hope that the maleficent plant of anti-Semitism will be extinguished forever from history, beginning with our cultural and linguistic habits."
2000 - Pope John Paul II visits Israel. He pays tribute to the victims of the Holocaust at Yad Vashem (the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority), and he leaves the following prayer between the ancient stones of the Western Wall in Jerusalem: "God of our fathers, you chose Abraham and his descendants to bring your Name to the Nations: we are deeply saddened by the behavior of those who in the course of history have caused these children of yours to suffer, and asking your forgiveness we wish to commit ourselves to genuine brotherhood with the people of the Covenant."
And although more efforts have been made, a retired Italian bishop, by the name of Giacomo Babini, recently suggested that the sexual abuse in the Catholic church are a "Zionist attack." This 'Jewish conspiracy' mindset reveals a systemic problem that remains in the Church and must be addressed. Babini added, "They do not want the church, they are its natural enemies. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God killers."
Oy...two steps forward, one step back...
Italy's Bishops Conference immediately attempted damage control (something at which the Church has now become adept)...but I'm not buying it.
There's a serious problem here...and it cannot be excused away as simply 'misspeak'.
The Bible in Matthew 12:34 states, "For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." How does the Church reconcile that with Babini's statements? Attempting to blame Jews for the egregious failure of the Church...at its highest levels...to stop the proliferation of such a venal crime as pedophilia? And a man, harboring this type of hatred, was allowed to guide the flock?
This is a grievous problem that must be rooted out, but unlike the sex-abuse situation...it must be a massive repentance of this erroneous mindset and a reeducation of the clergy, to the truth.
For if the Vatican fails to address this virus that has infected the Church for centuries...it may be forced, one day soon, to sell off its massive store of treasures for survival.
Shalom through strength...

leaders who doggedly adhere to the philosophy that America should

Those Who Serve--Not Serviced
April 12, 2010
Last week Tiger Woods returned to the links on a wave of rhapsodic applause and accolades. The Leviathan of Libidoville was treated like a returning war hero who had just slayed the enemy in a far off land. Manifestly--in today's pop culture--you can be a serial cheater, liar and lout and still be hailed as a god.
But while this raucous idol worship was taking place--a very significant event was unfolding: Our Marines were quietly preparing to fight the one battle (Kandahar) that very well may decide the fate of Afghanistan (and the overall War on Terror).
Perhaps it's time for our pop culture generation to finally grow up (put aside childish things) and start paying homage to those who serve--instead of to those who demand to be serviced.

Pathological Naivete Has A New Address
April 8, 2010
the only way to prohibit Iran from going nuclear is an Israeli air strike.
Why? Because it has become agonizingly apparent that the Obama
administration (sporting it's diminutive man fruit) has settled on the
most dangerous, not to mention timorous--of all strategies: Containment.
Unfortunately, our child in chief fervently believes that a nuclear armed
Tehran can easily be contained with a copious dose of golden oratory.

The administration's actions are a disdainful (not to mention painful) affront to all who serve our great nation."

(The Editor is off today - This is Audrey's Blog) 'Palestinians': In Love With The Lie
April 6, 2010
You know it, defined as: A false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood. It's the antithesis of truth...the enemy of honesty: The Lie.
We know it's wrong and using it as a foundation for anything will surely lead to collapse. So why would one stake one's life on a bushel of them?
That's exactly what Israel's 'neighbors' have done. Everything from their name to their historical land claims are unadulterated lies. And they don't stop there.
Here's a sampling:
Jews have no claim to Israel (a lie spread daily throughout the Muslim world and beyond, especially by Muslim-controlled media).
The Gaza Land-For-Peace exchange (they got the land, Israel got violence).
Every 'truce' called by the 'palestinians'.
Hamas and Fatah are legitimate political groups.
Israel targets civilians.
'Palestinians' don't target civilians.
The Mohammed al-Dura hoax (which demonized the IDF and Israel).
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Here's their latest act of paltering...a 15-yr-old 'Palestinian' who was purportedly killed by IDF soldiers on March 30th, returned home alive and well on April 2nd after spending numerous days in Egyptian detention. Gaza emergency chief Mo'aweya Hassanein told reporters that medical teams and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) synchronized with the IDF to annex the boy's body.
Oops! Hassanein made a mistake. Imagine that? The boy was safe in Egyptian custody and the emergency chief arranged to pick up the imaginary body?
Interesting...did you hear anything about it in the news? Probably not...all that the Muslim-controlled media, world media outlets OR the MSM is reporting is the death of 'palestinian' civilians by the IDF on the Gaza border.
What a FREAKIN' surprise...
Are we done with this 'palestinian' crock of paltering poop yet? If not...we are truly their infidel useful idiots.

From his long alliances and relationships with racist, anti-Semitic, faux reverends...to his obeisance to tyrants and Jew-hating Muslim despots...to his Hamas proponents who longed to see their 'brother' take the Executive Mansion (in hopes Islam would get a tentacle around more infidels)...Obama has sent a clear message, to anyone who has ears to hear, that he was bringing change to our long friendship with a kindred nation.
He wasted no time in office when he began his pedantic DISSertation to our only friends, and the only democracy, in the Middle East. Slamming the Jewish State for building on its own land. Scolding them when they took a defensive action to protect their citizens from terrorist attacks. And most of all...dissing their Prime Minister, Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu. A war hero, statesman and the unambiguous leader of the free world.
Obama's most recent offensive offering occurred in Washington this past week, when Obama:
Failed to give Bibi the respect due a world leader...he would not allow any photos taken with the PM (but had no problem posing with the thug-o-crat Chavez in the past). Obama did the same to Bibi back in November...a public insult, and intended as such.
Upon reluctantly meeting with Bibi, Obama handed the PM 13 demands, key among those were a call to halt all new settlement construction in East Jerusalem (which belongs to Israel). According to the London Telegraph, when the Israeli PM delayed, Obama arose from his seat stating: "I'm going to the residential wing to have dinner with Michelle and the girls." And as he departed, Netanyahu was told to contemplate the error of his ways.
Personally, I am fed up to here (my hand is above my head) with this arrogant Aunt Fanny slapping the Jewish nation in the face, as he stabs them in the back. Over 64% of Americans support Israel, so Obama's disdain for the owners of the Holy Land is not shared by his 'subjects'.
So I think the mea culpa tour should return...but this time, for the right reason: Obama repenting for HIS un-American acts.
Here are MY list of demands, Mr. Obama:
Ask Bibi to forgive you for your egregious etiquette upon his visits to the people's capital.
Ask Bibi to forgive you for completely ignoring the thousands of terror attacks perpetrated on his citizens by their Muslim 'neighbors' (who happen to be your fervent supporters).
Ask Bibi to forgive you for having the audacity to dictate to a sovereign nation when and where they should and should not build, on their land.
And finally, ask Bibi to forgive you for having the freakin' nerve to misrepresent the American people, to his nation, as disloyal, disdainful and diabolical.
And this is just for starters...
Mr. Obama, we all know you're dying to 'change' something...but maliciously kicking our friends, while kissing our enemies tukis'...ALL in our name...is not tolerable any longer.
I believe, Mr. Obama...you might just want to save the 'changing' for the Depends you and your party will require, come Nov. 3rd.
Shalom through strength...

Burdens Caucasians
1, 2010
Has President Obama ever passed a piece of racist legislation? Well the answer to this stinging (not to mention very hot button question) is a resounding--YES! As a friend of mine (just the other day) astutely pointed out: the tax on suntan salons (included in the ObamaCare bill) is racist to the very core. Why? Because it clearly burdens only those of the Caucasian persuasion. After all (according to my friend, who happens to be an American of Hispanic lineage)--when was the last time you saw a black person in search of a suntan?

The comic strip—which began its career as a circulation builder for turn-of-the-century newspapers—is now an omnipresent element in our massive American popular culture, and has lately been the subject of much angry controversy. Heinz Politzer here examines the comic strip as a popular art form that in its own way illuminates some of the essential areas of American life and character.

|Please excuse my un-pedicured and totally swollen (it was 100 degrees!) feet!
1. Gather your supplies: Mod Podge, glitter, flip flops (I used the Old Navy cheapies), painter's tape, a sponge brush, super strong glue (should use super glue for best results) and two mini felt flowers (click here if you want a tutorial on how to make those).
2. Wrap painter's tape around the edges on the flip flop straps to prevent stray glue/glitter from getting all over the place.
3. These steps are kind of hard to see because the glue, glitter, and flip flops are all the same color, but this part is easy, promise. Using your sponge brush, dab the Mod Podge onto the flip flop strap. You can leave about a half an inch on each side open at the top (where the flower goes).
4. Shake glitter on top of the Mod Podge and shake off the excess.
5. Cover the remainder of the strap using this process and repeat on the other side. Once both straps are covered (except for the half inch at the top) dab a coat of Mod Podge over the entire strap.
6. Give the whole strap a second coat of glitter. Repeat with other strap.
7. Allow some time for the Mod Podge to dry. Then use a wet paper towel to wipe away any stray glitter. Once the flip flop is dry, you will want to seal the glitter. You have two options for this: use a spray sealer, or dab on another coat of Mod Podge to lock everything in. Either one works! Once the sealer is dry, it is time to attach the flower!
8. I used regular old craft glue to attach the flower, and it did not have the best hold. Super glue would definitely be better. I stuck a folded up paper towel underneath the flower area to prevent any glue from dropping on the shoe itself. Dab some glue on the back of the flower and attach it to the middle part of the flip flop straps. Wait for shoes to dry completely before putting them on!
And voila! Super cute and comfy shoes that can be worn all night long. You can make these bad boys in any color, so go crazy and have some fun with them!

A satisfied client is an asset to any business, but business owners often neglect to use the positive references of clients as a marketing element in the establishment of credibility during their marketing activities.
First things first
If you wish to use a client's feedback and want to mention him/her by name, it is of the utmost importance to obtain the written consent of such a client.
Consider the following elements in deciding whether feedback is of value, or not
- Is it interesting? (Will it capture the attention of prospective clients?)
- Is it appropriate?
- Has the input been written 'well'? (Will prospective clients be able to understand and associate themselves with the input?)
- Does it contain learning experiences that may benefit others?
When a case study is considered, the framework below may be utilised to neatly 'package' the information
- Introduction (Outline the client's history and the situation before he/she made use of your product/service.)
- Highlight the main challenges the client had faced that are relevant to your product/service as a solution for similar challenges.
- How would the client benefit from using your product/service?
- What was the proposed solution?
- How did you tackle the challenge and solve it for the client?
- What was the result/outcome after the implementation of your product/service?
After 'packaging' the information in the most appropriate manner, you may utilise client feedback and case studies in the following ways
- Put them on your website
- Make them part of your brochures
- Integrate them with your business profile
- Use them in articles
- Include them in your business' newsletters
Start using one of your business' dormant assets – the feedback of satisfied clients – to help market the service/product of your business today.

Automate Sales Tax Management with Avalara for Shopify
A new partnership between popular automated tax software provider Avalara and cloud-based, multichannel commerce platform Shopify Plus is helping merchants automate sales tax management.
The new service offering will be made available to Shopify Plus merchants and aims to streamline and automate calculations of hundreds of thousands of tax rates, rules and jurisdictions. The solution automatically calculates tax for every invoice line item in real time. What's more, Shopify Plus merchants can add Avalara's tax return preparation, filing and remittance services.
It is important to note that Avalara's Compliance Cloud solution reduces the workload and complexity of calculating and filing taxes for millions of products and services across the U.S., Canada, Europe and dozens of additional international jurisdictions. This frees up time for Shopify Plus merchants to focus on their core businesses and provides peace of mind that their tax decisions are correct on every transaction.
"Ecommerce is real-time, so it just doesn't make sense to manually manage sales and VAT taxes. Avalara's Compliance Cloud platform provides a fast, easy, and cost-effective way for Shopify Plus merchants to manage tax compliance," said Scott McFarlane, CEO at Avalara. "We're excited to welcome Shopify into our community."
For reference, Shopify Plus aims to make commerce simple for high growth, high volume merchants. The solution is leveraged by brands like Tesla, RedBull and RadioShack, and is built on the back of the Shopify platform, which powers more than 200,000 merchants in more than 150 countries. Plus, Shopify Plus enables large merchants to design, set up and manage their stores across multiple sales channels, including Web, mobile, social media, brick-and-mortar locations and pop-up shops.
"We're excited to be partnering with Avalara to provide Shopify Plus merchants with an automated way to calculate sales tax," said Loren Padelford, general manager of Shopify Plus. "Since Shopify Plus merchants generate high volumes of sales, managing sales taxes can be complex and costly, and this new integration will save them time and money."
