We have a big plane ride home today. Today – unless something changes and I decide to fly while being even more pregnant, which I promise is nearly impossible – marks the end of an era for our little family: The final journey of Baby M as Lap Child.
In other words, next time we're going to actually have to pay for the little squirt to fly with us. She's soon to be that age (2) where most airlines simply won't buy the "she's going to sit on my lap, really she will" rhetoric.
Prompted by this upcoming milestone, Husband and I decided to try to count up the number of airplane rides that our little freeloading jetsetter has flown. We got to 36, and then got tired of thinking. See, when you fly that much with a toddler, you don't have much energy for anything else.
Still, spending that much time in the air has made Baby M an awesome traveler.
She helpfully points out to the flight attendants which cabin bathroom has the changing table. She's happy to sit during takeoff and landing, as long as she has a window seat. She knows that the moving walkways at Baltimore-Washington International are way cooler than the ones at, say, Manchester Boston Regional Airport, and has no qualms about telling other people at the gate that they are about to go on an airplane, fast fast, and that we will soon go up-down, up-down.
She also knows that if she holds out, and threatens to create just enough of a fuss, her parents will let her eat salty pretzels and cheese crackers and ice from their sodas and anything-else-just-please-stop-trying-to-get-down-no-you-cannot-run-in-the-aisle.
This many flights with child has also made us better traveling parents. And because of this – and because I am a bit overwhelmed today with nostalgia and the uncomfortable recognition that traveling will soon cost much more – I thought I would share a sampling of the many lessons we've learned. You know, as a public service for the other new parents who suddenly find themselves checking in for a weekend flight (oh, those days of carry-ons are way gone) with two suitcases, a Pack 'n Play, a stroller, a car seat, a diaper bag, a crying child, and a dawning sense that this will not be the same as it used to be. Not even close.
So here goes:
1. Give up hope. Those days of catching up on your magazines or pleasure reading in the air? Over. Done. Your airplane ride will not be spent reading or sleeping or working, or even making conversation with that chatty person in 16B. No, those sky hours will be consumed by the child. She will devour them. Meanwhile, you will struggle to stay one step and activity idea ahead as you wonder why this flight is taking so darn long. This all is much easier if you just assume the flight is lost time. And eventually, you might find that you and toddler actually enjoy the rides together
2. Plan. You must have snacks, diapers, and water, and ideally another set of clothing. Maybe this is obvious for most other parents, but I've ended up with an angry, hungry, naked child by the end of at least one flight. It's OK, she survived. But it's better if you bring the gear. Along with an arsenal of activities more interesting than the in-flight magazine – anything from books to crayons to Post-it notes (awesome).
3. Let the child move when she can move. This goes along with No. 1. While waiting for your plane, you will not read or browse the duty free shop's cosmetic section or sit for an overpriced meal in an airport restaurant. And since these options are gone, you might as well walk around with your kid. (Assuming he's walking.) Up and down a terminal hallway, on the moving walkway again and again and again, up and down the escalator. It's mind numbing. We know. And you also have to keep close attention to make sure they stay safe with all those moving floors and rolling bags and rushing people. But best to let them get some energy out while it's possible.
4. This is less of a tip than a life lesson. The next time you travel without your toddler, you will be amazed at how easy it is. Four hours stuck on the runway? Whatev. Once you've done that on a completely full plane with a child on your lap (been there), you realize that if you're on your own there's really no problem. Take a snooze. Passport control seems long? Relax. Once you've squished into a developing world airport's custom control room with a jet-lagged baby attached to your front, you realize that doing the same on your own is cake. Parenting can be all about new perspectives.
So take those for what they're worth. And I'll be back with tips for dealing with two babies on a plane sometime in the next decade. Maybe. Because, frankly, that thought makes me terrified.

The Case Behind the Case
But why did this case end up in a patent court instead of a copyright court? The reason is that, in a strictly legal sense, a charge of patent infringement was the trigger for the legal actions that led to this case being heard. And curiously, it was Jacobsen who was accused of violating Katzer's patent, although it was Jacobsen who filed the suit against Katzer. The law is indeed a curious thing.
In a sense, nobody really knows what the law is until a case is brought and a judge gets to rule on specific facts. And a case gets brought when some individual chooses to do so, meaning that the detailed facts in a particular case have a lot to do with what elements of the law come to the judge's attention and therefore how the nuances of interpretation play out. But free and open-source software was waiting for its day in court, and this particular case got it there.
Jacobsen works at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and is a model train enthusiast. He is the principle developer of the JMRI Project (jmri.sourceforge.net), an open-source project devoted to his Java Model Railroad Interface software. Jacobsen knew he had a problem when he started getting letters from Katzer alleging violation of Katzer's patent, culminating in a request for something over $200,000.
Jacobsen looked at Katzer's software and decided he'd better strike first. He file a preemptive suit against Katzer, claiming that Katzer's patent was fraudulently obtained, invalid, and unenforceable; and that in fact Katzer had improperly incorporated part of Jacobsen's JMRI software in the code for which he claimed a patent. He also charged Katzer with cybersquatting and a few other offenses. And he made an online plea to other developers to help him nail down the prior art to debunk Katzer's patent. Open-source lawyers and developers jumped on board, helping him make his case.
And Jacobsen v Katzer became the test case for the enforceability of copyleft licenses.

One Fat Kid's Love For Her Collar Bone
"What? What's that? My collarbone? Yes... yes it is my collarbone."
I pull the collar of my shirt out so the person (I did this to many people) I'm talking to can see my newly exposed collarbone.
I was met with: "so..." or "yeah... everyone has a collarbone." What my friends and random guys on the street didn't seem to understand is this is completely new territory for me and what other Fat Kids can attest to, not everyone has a collarbone. I understand the basics of anatomy and even Fat Kids technically have a collarbone, but you wouldn't know it because you'll never see a Fat Kid's collarbone.
|The more weight you lose the more exposed you feel.
Over the past four months I have lost just over 50 lbs and it is only now that people are starting to be able to "tell" that I've lost some weight. Before now I had to inform people I had lost weight and I received a lot of, "oh.... yeah. Sure. I can see that. In a your face right? Sorry, where have you lost 25 pounds?"
I wasn't mad or frustrated with people for not being able to tell I had lost weight because in all honesty I couldn't tell myself since appearance wise I looked the same. However, how much healthier I felt and the scale reminded me that I was in fact losing weight. When I had lost about 30 lbs and was asked where I had lost the weight I found my answer a bit odd but it was the only place I had noticed real change, "my neck..."
This was not the answer people who are looking to lose lbs around their mid-section wanted to hear. When people think about losing weight they think about losing that gut that keeps them from the perfect outfit not their neck. Myself, family, and friends have joked around about my lack of a neck since I was in middle school, so when I noticed that I had started to have a neck I actually thought it was pretty cool. Then at around 40 lbs I was wearing a v-neck shirt in my weight lifting class and noticed something I had really never seen before: my collarbone. I continued on with my flies, but if anyone had noticed my face in the mirror they would have seen a look of utter confusion. At first I couldn't figure out what I was looking at in the mirror. Once I realized my collarbone was starting to show I really started lifting hard and had a determined face with a hint of a smile.
My collarbone showing was the first visual sign that all my hard work was paying off. Physically, emotionally, and mentally I already knew that I am healthier and in better shape but I couldn't "see" any change. That might be why I was a little over zealous at first showing people my collarbone, although hobos on the train didn't seem to mind.
|There's my neck.
That's why I love my collarbone so much. I see that and it reminds me how far I have come. I'll be honest I have had a lot of fun getting in shape but losing 50 lbs is not easy and I have at least 100 more to go. When my brain starts trying to play games with me to make me insecure about my body I tilt my head and give my neck a look or I roll my shoulders and check out my collarbone. This isn't just a weight loss journey. It is a total transformation to be a healthier person. Self love, self acceptance, and finding the things that make me beautiful and unique are important; because to become physically healthy I have to stay mentally healthy and have a healthy view of myself. For I am glorious and worth living a better life.

Lunch in the Loop: More Than Just Sandwiches at Bánh Mì & Co.
Reviews of restaurants in the Loop.
Editor's Note: Whether you're a tourist or an office worker in downtown Chicago, you can get sick of eating at chain restaurants all day. So we've started a series to get you the lowdown on where to find a great and affordable lunch.
Well, I guess one of the Lunch in the Loop gods heard my plea for more bánh mì sandwiches down in workville, because they delivered us a new Vietnamese sandwich joint: Bánh Mì & Co.. The Loop location is decorated like an amped up version of a Hollister store, with a kitschy beach shack feel to it. You have to see it to believe it—no, seriously, step in. It's kind of awesome.
If the name Bánh Mì & Co. sounds familiar, that's because it's a small chain here in Chicago, with three other outposts on the North Side of the city. And if you couldn't guess that they sold bánh mì, based off its name, then you may want to consider going back to school for reading comprehension. Don't worry, I'll be sitting right next to you, because mentally, I haven't really passed the third grade. It's a well known fact.
If you're up for vegetarian food, the papaya salad with lemongrass tofu ($7.85) is a good place to start. The shredded green papaya and carrot salad is crisp, light, and vinegary, while the tofu is almost meaty in texture and heft. It's strongly seasoned with the sharp flavor of lemongrass, which makes a potentially boring ingredient something much more lively. The dressing, which might look like a sweet chili dipping sauce, is actually a very pungent fish sauce dressing, so vegans, just take note. I don't want you to get secret-meated. I think the salad is much better suited for a summer day, so later, when this damn winter passes and you've begun to complain about the heat instead, go have a papaya salad. Or hell, have one and just fantasize about summer.
You can't go to a bánh mì shop and not at least try the classic version. Bánh Mì & Co. calls theirs the Saigon Classic ($6.55), and it is decked with ham, spiced pork roll, and pate, and then packed with pickled daikon radish, cucumber, carrots, cilantro, and jalapeño slices. And of course, you've got to have the Japanese-style mayo, which is sweet and thick.
The Saigon Classic isn't my favorite out of the three I tried, surprisingly. I almost always opt for this version of any bánh mì, but the ratios are off. There's actually too much meat in the filling, which would could potentially be a good thing. But classic bánh mì really benefit from a balance between crackly bread and meat, with that interplay of pickled vegetables, herbaceous cilantro, and spice. The quantity of meat tips the scales a little too far into heavy territory. The pate, however, is really good; it's strongly flavored, livery, and almost metallic in a great way. And I'm surprised I'm complaining about too much meat for once.
My favorite is the barbecue pork bánh mì ($6.55). Despite its bright red color, the pork isn't seasoned particularly strongly, but that's not bad—the meat is intensely piggy and delicious just on its own. A good bite with every ingredient in it is a satisfying combination of meaty, crispy, rich, and fresh.
The Vietnamese meatball bánh mì($6.55) is very hearty and has a ton of protein in it. The pork meatballs are formed with coarsely ground meat which gives them a lot of texture, and they have a slightly smoky flavor to them. They are a bit dry, however, and underseasoned. If you're a quantity person, this might be more up your alley.
For you noodle fanatics, I'm happy to report that Bánh Mì & Co. does sell a hot bowl of phở ($8.95). The chicken and beef based broth is very savory, and is accented heavily with star anise and a touch of clove and cinnamon. It is missing a certain depth of flavor that I've had with more satisfying bowls, but it's definitely way better than a boring cup of chicken noodle soup. You do have a choice of beef brisket or chicken, and brisket is definitely the way to go. It's tender and fits well with the broth.
I think at this point, we could all use a winter escape, and aside from selling all our things and moving to Vietnam, Bánh Mì & Co. is a fun little distraction from a dreary cold day at the office. But until then, we can all commiserate with each other over some warm weather food. Also, let's have a rap battle.

One of a Kind Buttons are handmade and kiln fired stoneware, terracotta or porcelain clay. The clay is stamped with a variety of images, some for texture, most of the others I have drawn, and sent away for a stamp to be made from my drawing. I was a graphic designer before printing on clay! Most of the glaze colors are what I like to call 'happy accidents'. I have experimented with a lot of different glazes, one over another to create those beautiful colors. The stamps are impressed into the clay, bisque fired, glazed with up to 3 coats of glaze, fired again to make beautiful colors.

Report: Md. health exchange glitch may cost $30.5M
Exchange can't convert income data from existing Medicaid enrollment system, report says
A problem with Maryland's defective health care exchange could cost the state $30.5 million because the state is unable to determine whether people remain eligible for Medicaid, according to a report by state budget analysts released Thursday.
The exchange can't convert income data from the existing Medicaid enrollment system into a calculation needed to review whether enrollees are qualified "because of a variety of system architectural flaws," the report by the Maryland Department of Legislative Services said.
As a result, the state has agreed with the federal government to a six-month delay in determining eligibility, meaning that payments will continue to be made to people who are not eligible until the system is fixed. The report estimated the delay will cost the state $17.8 million in fiscal year 2014 and $12.7 million in fiscal year 2015.
The 31-page report also said "there is significant uncertainty about the way forward" with future information technology spending that will be needed.
Maryland's health exchange has been plagued by computer problems that have made it difficult for people to enroll in private health care plans since its debut Oct. 1. Although improvements have been made, computer problems remain. As of Feb. 14, 31,112 people have enrolled in qualified health plans.
State officials have decided to stick with the exchange through the open enrollment period that ends March 31. The state is evaluating alternatives with an eye toward the next enrollment period that begins in November. It is considering adopting technology developed by another state, joining a consortium of other states, partnering with the federal exchange or making major fixes to overhaul Maryland's existing system.
The report said the state may need to develop an interim solution while a long-term solution is being developed. The report said one of the solutions being discussed for qualified health plans is to adapt the Connecticut system for Maryland. However, that process would likely take at least nine to 12 months, pushing up against the next open-enrollment period.
"Not having a solid backup plan could lead to a similar situation faced by the state in October 2013," the report said.
The report also noted that from the outset, the development of the exchange was "a high risk undertaking." That's because the project was developed under tight deadlines and requirements for the project were constantly evolving. The report also said the level of system complexity was high, based on the need for interoperability with to-be-developed federal databases and existing state systems.
"Maryland chose to increase the risk by developing a single system for (qualified health plans) and Medicaid eligibility determination," the report said.
The report also noted that issues concerning the broken relationship between the contractor, Noridian, and its subcontractor, and coordination with other state agencies and project governance within the health care exchange all added to project risk. The state announced it fired Noridian as the prime contractor earlier this week.
"While the decision to go live even with limited functionality was generally supported by the independent consultants employed by (Maryland Health Benefit Exchange), the risks identified by those consultants was high, including that few activities in the months leading up to the go-live date had gone smoothly ..." the report said, adding that there was a lack of clarity concerning whether security features had been adequately tested or configured and that there was a concern about whether the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services testing activities had been rigorous enough.

CRESTVIEW � Teaching teenagers to appreciate the outdoors may help them cultivate constructive hobbies and stay out of trouble, Capt. Daniel Pike, TV's "Inshore Angler," said Tuesday.
CRESTVIEW � Teaching teenagers to appreciate the outdoors may help them cultivate constructive hobbies and stay out of trouble, Capt. Daniel Pike, TV's "Inshore Angler," said Tuesday.
"A rod in your hand� unless you're hunting � is better than a gun," he said to Ernie Martin's outdoor education class at Crestview High School.
And knowing how to fish and boat properly take focus in Martin's classroom.
The state requires boaters � particularly those operating 10-plus horsepower vessels � to carry a boater education identification card after completing a certified boating safety course.
Over the years, more than 500 CHS outdoor education students reportedly have received boat safety certification as part of the course.
Wilbur Hugli, a United States Power Squadrons officer, assists with student certification through the nonprofit organization that aims to make boating safer. The course teaches boating laws and regulations, the use of safety equipment and navigation techniques. Students also learn what to do when a boat capsizes, a passenger goes overboard or how to handle emergency radio calls.
"Out of all of those kids, if only one life was saved, it would have been worth it," Martin said of the class.
Having safety knowledge particularly is beneficial in the Sunshine State, which has the most boating fatalities in the country, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission.
Seven people per 100,000 registered vessels died here in boating incidents in 2011, the latest year for available data.
Alcohol use and equipment failure are among the top causes of boating accidents, the commission reports. Other factors include inclement weather and carelessness.
More schools should feature outdoor education so kids can know the facts, said Pike, owner of a Destin-based guided-fishing tour company.
That hope would grow increasingly likely if other schools' students share as much interest in the program as Crestview High has.
Martin, who also assists the football team and is the track team's head coach, said his class has grown since it began 12 years ago.
"We had to turn away 150 (students) this year," he said, adding he hopes to get those students into future classes.
Logan Weeks, 15, said he enjoys the course because it can help prepare him for a hopeful career with the United States Coast Guard.
During the visit, Pike � who has appeared on NBC Sports television programming and the Outdoor Channel � switched topics in hopes of motivating the students.
"Being a person is easy; there is nothing to it," he said. "But to wake up and be a great person and a great role model is a lot of hard work."
"America needs to change how they think about heroes," Pike said.
Although professional athletes can be role models, they shouldn't be considered heroes, he said.
Reserve that honor for wounded soldiers, he said.

What is this project?
Installing 750 feet of new concrete sidewalk on the East side of Double Springs Rd. from Abilene Dr. to Greens Chapel Rd.
What is the current status?
This project is in progress.
How is this project being funded?
Funding for this project comes from the Street Fund. The Street Fund is financed through two sources:
1) Turn-back revenues from the State of Arkansas. The State collects motor fuel taxes, which are returned to the City on a per-capital basis.
2) Turn-back monies received from the County Road Millage Tax. The City receives 80% of the road millage levied by the Quorum Court on real and personal property located within the city.

Search giant Google has rolled out new integration practices between its Google+ social network and social video sharing website YouTube.
YouTube users now have the option to share videos they upload on Google+ by selecting that option directly from the upload interface. Once uploaded the videos are automatically showcased in a "videos" tab on the users Google+ profile.
In order to use the new service users must like their Google+ and YouTube accounts under their real name. The new process is very similar to what is already used for Picassa photos sharing.
For Google+ users who do not want to use the service the tab can be hidden.
After opting in to the service the users videos then read "YouTube" and when clicked users will be sent to YouTube rather than watching the embed on Google+, a sly way for YouTube and Google to share multiple pageviews per video engagement.� [Read more…]

Charge trade for forward Olek Czyz as center Arinze Onuaku goes on inactive list with turf toe.
The Charge left someone behind when they headed west Wednesday.
A big someone.
The Charge announced Thursday night that center Arinze Onuaku has been diagnosed with turf toe in his right foot and that the 6-foot-9, 275-pound center did not make the team's West Coast road trip, which began Thursday night in Bakersfield, Calif.
Onuaku has been put on the inactive list.
Earlier Thursday, the Charge announced a trade for Fort Wayne forward Olek Czyz.
Onuaku was acquired by the Charge as a returning player in late November. He made the New Orleans Pelicans roster out of training camp but was waived after playing three games.
The 26-year-old Syracuse product has been solid for the Charge, averaging 15.7 points and 8.5 rebounds in 11 games. His 65.4 field-goal percentage ranked second in the D-League entering Thursday. His large presence in the paint has an impact on both ends of the court most nights.
Onuaku likely will miss at least four games: Thursday, Saturday's game in Santa Cruz, Calif., and games Monday and Tuesday in Reno, Nev., at the D-League Showcase. The Charge return home for a day next week before back-to-back games in Erie next weekend.
Czyz, 23, averaged 9.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 11 games (eight starts) with the Mad Ants. He shot 40 percent from the field and 63.9 percent from the foul line.
The Charge dealt the 2014 second-round draft pick from the Tyrell Biggs trade and the rights to Brady Morningstar for Czyz.
Czyz helped the Mad Ants beat the Charge on consecutive nights last month, averaging 9.0 points and 3.5 rebounds and shooting 7-for-14 from the field in the two games.
The 6-8, 240-pound Czyz, a native of Poland, began his college career at Duke before transferring to Nevada. He played his high school ball in Reno and helped his school to two state titles.
As a senior at Nevada, the athletic Czyz averaged 13.8 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 54.1 percent from the field.
Czyz played his professional rookie season in Italy last year and was in training camp with the Milwaukee Bucks this year before being waived.
Morningstar, a Kansas product, played in 11 games with the Charge last season.

Closet couple Hilary Rhoda and Sean Avery turned up fashionably late together for the Institute for Civic Leadership spring benefit at DVF Studio Tuesday night. The model and the NY Rangers star arrived together but refused to pose as a couple.
Meanwhile, "The City" star Olivia Palermo declined to pose with the party's host, "Gossip Girl" star Matthew Settle, telling organizers it was "because of my boyfriend Johannes Huebl." Others who partied to DJ Cassidy included Ali Kay, Devon Aoki, Tracy Anderson, Charlie Walk, Rosanna Scotto and Arden Wohl.

'I hate to see that evening sun go down.'
The line comes from W.C. Handy's St. Louis Blues, composed by the man called the father of the blues. I think the power of this lyric comes from the sheer poetry of words and image. Why did Handy say "hate to see"? The image of the lowering sun is an evocative one, but it contains a hint of the dark to come, one William Faulkner recognized when he named a short story about a husband lying in wait to kill his wife 'That Evening Sun'.
These garden photos–so shot through with light and creeping darkness–are extraordinarily suggestive of endings, all kinds of endings, but their melancholy tone isn't one of unpleasantness or fear, rather a kind of melancholy comfort.
Aren't gardens in some sense contemplations on life and death, light and darkness, beginnings and endings?
Or am I reading my own psychology as a template for all gardens?
I remind myself gardens have other functions …
… ecological functions, supporting myriad kinds of life from frogs to birds to praying mantises, multitudes of bees, innumerable invertebrates. Making a place for plant life to thrive and reproduce, a place where plant communities can evolve, where intricate webs of energy transfer can occur, a place where the processes of life and death in the garden actually change the physical surface of the earth.
And therapeutic functions. Horticultural therapy of a sort was a chief concern of Frederick Law Olmsted in creating Central Park, and the view of nature as a place for relaxation and recharge, or withdrawal and renewal, has permeated our culture at least since the Romantic period, but certainly much, much longer.
So what exactly is our encounter with the garden, with the landscape? What does it mean, and what can it mean? It has to be more than prettiness, than mere decoration, than simple utility, or why bother?
I attended a landscape architecture conference at the University of Pennsylvania earlier this summer. In the lobby, where many books were on sale, my eyes were quickly drawn to a small volume titled 'A Field Guide to Melancholy' by Jacky Bowring. But getting that book only led me to Bowring's much more ambitious, and complex, 'Melancholy and the Landscape: Locating Sadness, Memory and Reflection in the Landscape'.
I quote her first on landscape, then on melancholy:
'Across its vast compass, landscape in its expansive incorporation of gardens, environmental design, architecture, agriculture, infrastructure, and everything between and beyond, is the embodiment of identity. Points of reference are found as much in the representations of landscape – paintings, films, texts – as in the experiential, sensory, phenomenological realm. Whether landscape is a mirror, a theatre, a text or a seamless continuity with its inhabitants, it is the place from which we draw meaning, feeling; it is the armature for existence, the realm in which place and culture co-exist, and where the self dwells.'
'Within this expansive and meaning-imbued terrain the landscape holds within it the natural habitat for melancholy, as the locus of places of contemplation, memory, death, sadness. Yet, the place of melancholy within the landscape is one which is often resisted, marginalised and edited out. As part of the salvaging of the idea of melancholy as a dimension of existence, this book also offers a critique of the impoverishment of the emotional content of the contemporary designed environment.'*
Haven't we lost something in this 'editing out' and emphasis on 'happiness' above all? In a 'happy' garden designed for play, for cooking and for entertaining, for dining out, have we failed to make a place for those feelings evoked by Handy's line, 'I hate to see that evening sun go down'?
I'm reminded of the roots of our present-day Romantic notions of nature and the role of melancholy contributed by such seminal and defining works as Goethe's 'Sorrows of Young Werther' …
… or of Keats' sensitivity to the physical manifestations of nature and the feelings it evokes, as in his Ode to Melancholy …
'Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine …'
Cynical as we may have become in the twenty-first century, our emotions are still stirred in an almost stereotypical way by an image of a fallen flower, or a garden bower wrapped within a wall of woodland trees (even the word 'bower' has stereotypically romantic connotations).
Wordsworth's transcendental thoughts suggest another aspect of romantic melancholy that has been 'edited out' in our cultural landscapes, as in Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey …
'For I have learned
To look on nature, not as in the hour
Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes
The still, sad music of humanity …
And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.'
These lines reveal far more than a simple feeling of melancholy. Here melancholic feelings spur Wordsworth on to a profound vision of meaning, albeit still romantically vague and ineffable. My concern here isn't so much with Wordsworth's meaning or its validity, but with a landscape that makes a place for such feelings and thoughts, that doesn't 'edit them out'.
We see the tradition of melancholic contemplation continued in the 'Americanized' Romanticism of William Cullen Bryant, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.
And the garden makers among us, I think, will also see it in the design movement we call 'New Perennials', 'New Wave', 'Dutch Wave', or more generally, simply meadow and prairie design. From an article on Piet Oudolf in the New York Times: 'Allowing the garden to decompose, he added, meets an emotional need in people. "You accept death. You don't take the plants out, because they still look good. And brown is also a color."' (January 31, 2008, by Sally McGrane)
How far apart are Wordsworth's words from those of Handy's line–'I hate to see that evening sun go down'?
Even ecological approaches to gardening have at their heart a seeking after a lost world that was better, more pure–a most romantic notion. Are we always reaching back to a better time?
My garden is at its peak now, now at the moment of its first decline, sidelit by the sun dropping toward the horizon …
… revealing detail and ways of seeing not possible earlier in the year …
… creating a chiaroscuro of light and dark …
… highlighting fine detail, and piercing into the depths of layered plantings …
… and differentiating form and shape, while evoking feelings not possible in the bright light of mid-day …
… waking emotions no one would call happiness, but emotions nonetheless that are a kind of comfort and refuge.
I like to think the sideways light of the setting sun must have become a part of the human genetic heritage …
… that this melancholy, pleasant light has become a part of us.
So we can take sensual delight in the warm light limning the leaves of this tall Vernonia …
… or feel safety in walking this shadowed path back to the house …
… climbing the gentle slope with a sense of return …
… almost bathing in the plants …
… glimpsing the darkening woods …
… on the final approach to the house.
'I hate to see that evening sun go down.'

(Next Video: The Orangutan and the Hound Dog.)
Neither the distance between them on a taxonomic chart, nor a potentially eye-raising age difference, mattered to Owen and Mzee. The baby hippo and the 130-year-old tortoise became close friends when Owen, orphaned after the 2004 tsunami, was taken to Haller Park, an animal sanctuary in Mombasa, Kenya, that was already home to Mzee ("Old Man" in Swahili). They've spawned children's books, a website and a blog, as well as YouTube animations. Eventually, the growing Owen was introduced to Cleo another hippopotamus. When, according to a 2007 blog post, Cleo hurt another tortoise, the two pals were separated. Many fans were disappointed. As "3rd grade speech boys" commented on the blog, "We wish Cleo would be nice and they could all live together and create a new generation of hippos and turtles."

The New Housing Price Index (NHPI) is a monthly series that measures changes over time in the contractors' selling prices of new residential houses, where detailed specifications pertaining to each house remain the same between two consecutive months. The survey covers the following dwelling types: single homes, semi-detached homes and townhouses. The survey also collects contractors' estimates of the current value (evaluated at market price) of the land. These estimates are independently indexed to provide the published series for land. The current value of the structure is also independently indexed and is presented as the house series.
The NHPI is used by economists, academics and the general public to monitor trends in this important component of the construction sector. Within Statistics Canada, components of these series are used in the calculation of some elements of the Consumer Price Index. In addition, the series are used by the Canada's System of Macroeconomic Accounts for deflating the value of the national housing stock. Due to the level of geographic detail provided and the sensitivity to changes in supply and demand, the NHPI series are of particular interest to the real estate industry for comparison with the resale market. The NHPI is also used by building contractors, market analysts interested in housing policy, suppliers and manufacturers of building products, insurance companies, federal government agencies such as the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), and provincial and municipal housing agencies responsible for housing policy.
Reference period: The time period for which the NHPI equals 100; currently this is the year 2007.
Collection period: For the NHPI, the collection process occurs over a two-week period beginning on the 15th of the reference month.

Data sources and methodology
Target population
For the NHPI, the universe consists of builders in 21 metropolitan areas who mainly build single unit houses in such volume or in such a fashion that they can report selling prices for comparable transactions.
Instrument design
The interviewers use a simplified price report to obtain the necessary information on the total price and the estimated market price of the land component, as well as detailed characteristics of the selected house models being priced. A description of the physical and non-physical characteristics of the selected house model and the corresponding total selling price of the house and land is requested as well as an estimate of the land value (defined as the market price). A residual value (total selling price less land value) which relates to the current cost of the structure (house) is then calculated. The price report was developed in the early 1980's, with input and feedback from the respondents and the Canadian Home Builders' Association.
This is a sample survey with a longitudinal design.
The sample of builders for each metropolitan area is determined with the use of building permit data. The total number of builders selected in the sample for each city represents at least 15% of the total building permit value of that city. A small portion is also determined through the use of local market intelligence. Where possible, prices are collected from builders who develop entire subdivisions, usually on large tracts of land. Builders producing fewer units can also be included where comparable models can be priced over a period of time. The sample for a given builder is structured in such a way that the price changes of the sample are representative of the price changes of the builder's total sales of housing units.
Data sources
Responding to this survey is mandatory.
Data are collected directly from survey respondents and derived from other Statistics Canada surveys.
The collection of the selected house models and price information is conducted through the use of personal interviews carried out by interviewers who are based in the regional offices of Statistics Canada. Face-to-face interviews are conducted quarterly while telephone interviews are used in the intervening months.

Error detection
In the day-to-day collection and processing of the NHPI, great emphasis is placed on the examination and evaluation of prices. Subject matter specialists closely watch developments in the markets. They review the behaviour of the reported price changes, both to validate them directly and to ensure they are representative of the price movement as a whole. Outliers and incorrect or suspicious prices are identified during the initial data processing and then verbal follow-ups are carried out by the interviewers with the respondents to ensure the appropriate information has been obtained.
Missing data are imputed by carrying the previous month's reported price forward.
Separate weights are estimated annually at the level of the metropolitan area for the house component, the land component and the total selling price series using building completion data. Essentially, a price adjusted moving three-year average of the value of building completions for each metropolitan area is calculated for the house component, and then aggregated up to provide provincial and national indexes. In the case of land, the house to land ratios obtained from the NHPI are employed to estimate the corresponding land value data, also using a three-year moving average and aggregated in the same way. The total (house and land), is then calculated using all this information.
To prepare a contractors' selling price index for a metropolitan area, price reports from the sample of builders are given equal weights in index calculations. Amongst metropolitan areas, weights are derived from housing completions data.
Through discussion with the builders, models are selected and tracked. These models are identified as representative of the current construction portfolio of each builder. Prices include the provincial value added taxes on materials when applicable. However, Value Added Taxes such as the Federal Goods and Services Tax, the Quebec Sales Tax and Harmonised Sales Tax are excluded. In addition to pricing data, detailed information is obtained describing physical and non-physical characteristics of each selected house model. This is considered to be an important data source which assists the assessment of quality changes in terms of dollars and cents. In the new housing price survey, reported prices are adjusted for changes in quality of structure and land. This is important because the NHPI attempts to measure changes in price over time of identical houses in consecutive periods. Most often the estimate of the value of the quality change provided by the respondent is used to adjust the reported price to an estimate of "pure" price, unaffected by quality change.
The NHPI is comprised of both elemental and aggregate calculations. The elemental index is calculated using the Jevons formula (equally weighted geometric mean) combining housing models quotes across builders. The aggregate NHPI is the weighted combination of city estimates to national totals for each series component (house, land, total). The index used for this calculation is a fixed weighted Laspeyres type (Lowe) formula.
Quality evaluation
Prior to publication, the NHPI is analyzed for comparability with historical trends, as well as for coherence with results from related economic indicators, known current events and information from other external price index sources.
Disclosure control
Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Various confidentiality rules are applied to all data that are released or published to prevent the publication or disclosure of any information deemed confidential. If necessary, data are suppressed to prevent direct or residual disclosure of identifiable data.
Collected data are converted to price indexes and data are released as such, so that it is not possible to identify the suppliers of raw prices.
Revisions and seasonal adjustment
The NHPI is not subject to revision and is not seasonally adjusted.
Data accuracy
The statistical accuracy of this index depends on price and value data. Price data are obtained from a sample survey. Value data mainly rest on the quality of the building completion data, gathered by the Investment and Capital Stock Program of Statistics Canada. Both kinds of input data are subject therefore to their own errors.
In terms of price data, it has been acknowledged since the inception of the NHPI house and land sub-aggregate series that the house-to-land split can contain some level of respondent bias. This is due to the very difficult task of separating the total value of a new house into a land portion and a structure portion. The allocation of value in such a circumstance may be easy for one builder to provide and conceptually difficult for another to determine. Nevertheless, all efforts are made to obtain, verify and edit such information in concert with the builder.
Though the NHPI uses a sample survey methodology to obtain the necessary information, confidence intervals are not currently estimated, due to the longitudinal nature of price index series. Indexes for higher and lower levels of aggregation are considered to be statistically reliable.

Masturbation is the self-stimulation of the genitals to achieve sexual arousal and pleasure, usually to the point of orgasm (sexual climax). It is commonly done by touching, stroking or massaging the penis or clitoris until an orgasm is achieved. Some women also use stimulation of the vagina to masturbate or use "sex toys," such as a vibrator.
Who Masturbates?
Just about everybody. Masturbation is a very common behavior, even among people who have sexual relations with a partner. In one national study, 95% of males and 89% of females reported that they have masturbated. Masturbation is the first sexual act experienced by most males and females. In young children, masturbation is a normal part of the growing child's exploration of his or her body. Most people continue to masturbate in adulthood, and many do so throughout their lives.
Why Do People Masturbate?
In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. It also is necessary when a man must give a semen sample for infertility testing or for sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm (often in women) or to delay its arrival (often in men).
Is Masturbation Normal?
While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively and/or interferes with daily life and activities.
Is Masturbation Harmful?
In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. Some cultures and religions oppose the use of masturbation or even label it as sinful. This can lead to guilt or shame about the behavior.
Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual intimacy.

What is Over Masturbation?
First things first. The vast majority of masturbation is completely healthy and positive. There is no data for this, but anything approximating "over masturbation" is very rare. There is no number or quantity of masturbation that is healthy or unhealthy. Masturbation isn't like candy or eggs, there isn't a "recommended daily allowance", it means different things to different people, and we all use masturbation differently, in positive and negative ways. So this question needs to be answered on an individual basis, keeping in mind that very few of us actually masturbate in ways that are harmful to ourselves.If I am over masturbating, will I have to stop masturbating altogether?
No credible health care professional who is working in your best interest would ever tell you to stop masturbating forever. A healthy sexual life includes masturbation across the lifespan, and stopping for a week or two doesn't mean you have to stop forever. If you feel like your masturbation is a problem you may want to take a break from masturbating for a while and take some time to think about what is going on for you. But you should never feel like taking a break means dropping masturbation from your sexual repertoire. If someone tells you that masturbating is wrong or you need to stop it, they are probably doing so in their own interests, not yours.
Feeling guilty about masturbation is not necessarily a sign of over masturbating.
Many of us are raised with negative messages about our bodies, sex, and specifically masturbation. We respond by feeling guilty when we masturbate. But masturbation is healthy and guilt is not a required part of it. As you go through the questions below it's important to know that feeling guilty about masturbation doesn't mean you're doing it too much. Guilt is a normal response to being told bad things about masturbation. The solution in this case is not to stop masturbating (although you might chose to take a break while working things out), the solution is to deal with your feelings of guilt, to recognize them as unnecessary, and to work towards feeling good about your ability to give yourself pleasure and knowing that masturbation is a part of sexual health.
Is your masturbation causing you distress?
Like any behavior, we can use masturbation for avoidance, as a form of risk taking, or as a way of pushing our own boundaries outside of our comfort zone. If you find yourself consistently feeling bad about your masturbation, either after you've masturbated, or when you think about it, then you may want to take a break and figure out why. By distress I don't mean feeling guilty, as this can be a very normal response for those of us raised with negative messages about masturbation, and surrounded by so many myths about masturbation . But if the amount your masturbating is causing you distress of any other kind, it's worth figuring out what the problem might be.
Is your masturbation causing (unwanted) physical pain or damage?
If you are masturbating to the point of rubbing your skin raw, or causing any other physical pain or damage that you don't want, you maybe over masturbating, or masturbating the wrong way. There may be a simple or complicated solution to this (simple being something like using a personal lubricant, complicated being something that involves therapy and more introspection). But if masturbation is resulting in physical pain or discomfort it may be a good time to take a break and figure out what's going wrong.
Is your masturbation getting in the way of your life in unwanted ways?
You may be over masturbating if you aren't finding time to work, go to school, and see family and friends because of your masturbation frequency. Here's an example where masturbating once a day may be perfectly healthy and fine for one person, as they do it when it works best and doesn't interfere with other parts of their life that are important. But if you're masturbating once a day exactly at the time you need to be at an important obligation, there might be something more going on. If the rest of your life is being consistently disrupted by your masturbation, it may be a situation where you are over masturbating.
Do you find yourself literally unable to stop masturbating?
While there is nothing inherently harmful or dangerous about masturbation, it can become a compulsion or a focus of an obsession. If you feel compelled to masturbate and truly feel unable to stop masturbating, it is likely that you are over masturbating and need to find some support to explore what's going on that is compelling you to masturbate so frequently. In situations like this it may not make sense to stop masturbating cold turkey, but might be better to find some supports (family, friends, professionals) before you start to change your masturbation behaviors.Resources for people who think they may be engaging in chronic masturbation.
Finding a resource depends on where you live, what sort of health care you have, and how involved you want to get in exploring your feelings. If you have access to free sexual counseling services (through an organization like Planned Parenthood or your school) that may be enough. If you have a friend you can trust you may want to talk with them.
Be aware that there are many religious groups and organizations that consider all masturbation to be unhealthy and can take advantage of people who are looking for genuine answers by imposing their own morality at a time of vulnerability.

This article says that Eclipse 3.3 requires a Java 5 Runtime Environment. This conflicts with [1] which seems to imply that JRE 1.4.2 is still generally acceptable even with Eclipse 3.4, and that if anything it depends on whether you use the EE package or not ("Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers requires a Java5 JRE"). Which of them is correct? Petef310.fordy.org 15:02, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Some parts of Eclipse will run on JRE 1.4 or older. Some parts require 5.0 or 6.0. The Java EE bundle, because in addition to Eclipse includes EMF 2.4 (a requirement for the Web Tools project), prereqs 5.0. If you run that bundle with Java 1.4, you will only get partial function because all the plugins that need 5.0 will be disabled. --nickb 15:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Installer can't find JRE
Regarding Indigo c/c++ Windows xp/64 install. JRE is installed but it's not in the expected path. The installer doesn't give any options to change the path. Could we have a PROPER installation explanation? Perhaps a proper installer ...
Article doesn't actually say anything about installing Eclipse itself.
This article doesn't say ANYTHING at all about what one needs to do to install Eclipse itself. The other information is certainly useful and necessary, but really should be under the heading of "Dependencies" or something like that.

Harper's Soul Food Cafeteria in Nashville, Tennessee
"The fried okra nubbins are just asking to be snacked on pre-cash register."
2610 Jefferson Street, Nashville TN 37208 (map); 615-329-1909
Hours: Open 7 days a week.
Monday through Friday: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Many restaurants in Nashville are closed on Sundays and Mondays, but Harper's—the cafeteria-style soul food restaurant near Tennessee State University—isn't. And that was sure a good thing this week when bundles of people filed in here after the annual Martin Luther King Day march to the university.
Instead of the usual Southern tradition of "Meat and Three" (your choice of one meat and three sides—a beautiful thing), Harper's does Meat and Two. But don't worry, you'll still leave here plenty full.
Grab a plastic tray and begin the buffet line with dessert options (chess pie, fruit pies, banana pudding)—or if you're like me and couldn't think backwards, just come back for that later. Next, point to your meat: baked or fried chicken (always on special for $5.95), a big slab of fried catfish ($8.40), meatloaf ($7.30), or ribs ($9.95 for spare ribs, $10.75 for baby-back). The menu noted a few other "meats" but these seemed to be the big-sellers.
Then it's time to pick two "vegetables," some of which are pretty far from being vegetabley (probably more related to the butter family).
The turnip greens are so long, you have to twirl them up like pasta. Mac and cheese is crunchy on top with that milky-creamy adhesive goo between noodles. The black-eyed peas are nice and smoky, the candied yam hunks are huge, the corn is swimming in a butter bath, and the fried okra nubbins are just asking to be snacked on pre-cash register. The green beans—yes, those are the closest thing to a vegetable here.
The Meat and Two deal also includes a starch wad: take your pick between cornbread (a kind of strange fried fritter that tastes like cornbread but sure doesn't look like it) or a fluffy biscuit.
Despite the steam table set-up, the food never sits in its tray for too long—there are too many mouths to feed here for that.
I didn't mind waiting a few extra minutes for a new batch of fried catfish. Once it came out, the blanket of a thing could hardly fit on my plate. Lightly cornmeal-crusted, not heavily breaded, it had the perfect ratio of crunchy outside to thick, flaky fish center.
The dining room is pretty huge, though it didn't used to be. What started as a deli with some hot food service turned into a spacious cafeteria in 2003. Inside, the walls are covered with framed Tennessee State University sports paraphernalia, paintings of families bowing their heads before meals, and some autographed photos of the token "I'm-famous-enough-to-eat-here-and-be-framed!" celebs.
Every table is stocked with an unmarked bottle of red hot sauce. If you can handle it, use it. A few shakes of that will take you places.
For dessert, I revisited the buffet line for a triangle of Chess Pie. What exactly is Chess Pie again? Besides a gelatinous burst of sugar on a crust? Even the Tennessee native eating with us didn't really remember but guessed that butter, eggs, and plenty of sugar were involved. (She's right.)
My favorite sweet was the Nilla wafer-topped banana pudding. I've had sad experiences with banana pudding in the past—lots of yellow goop, not a lot of actual banana. But with this one, each scoop gave you a nibble of all three components: the slightly soggy (in a good way) Nilla wafer, a banana coin, and just the right amount of pudding paste in between.
Some cheerful table-clearer will swing by to yank your plate and silverware. They won't kick you out if you're in the lingering mood, but there's probably another round of folks ready to throw down their trays.

Paula Mills is one well-travelled lady. She grew up in Cape Town where she studied commercial art before moving to London to work as an art director. After eight years she left Britain to travel the world, have children and eventually settled in Melbourne, where she now lives and works as an illustrator.
Paula's home is filled with collections old, new and far-flung. The nicely distressed fireplace was thrifted from the roadside and the mantle is the perfect spot to display an assortment of silver sports trophies. By coincidence, Paula stumbled across one inscribed with "Woman's Netball Association won by P. Mills 1950" at a local flea market! I'm strangely drawn to religious imagery and really like the various postcards and posters scattered across the walls in this house.
Pink 1950s melamine table. Yum.
I love the mix of shiny white gloss and rough wood in the kitchen, and the little splash of red is a hit with me.
One day I'll get sick of exposed bulb lights… but not yet! This home office is where Paula works on illustrations for her shop, Sweet William.
{Photographs Sharyn Cairns for Homelife}
The fresh white backdrop shows of Paula's Vintage bits beautifully, with just one blue painted wall in the living room to cosy things up a bit. Blue interiors have really been growing on me recently, and this home illustrates the lovely warmth it can add to a room. Check out Paula's living room before she painted the wall here and compare…

Big Data, Soft Sell: Netflix Pitches a Hands-Off Approach to Hollywood
Here's a narrative lots of people like right now: In the old days, the movie and TV guys had to guess about what kind of stuff you wanted to see. But Netflix doesn't need to guess: It knows so much about your viewing habits that it knows exactly what you want, so it picks films and shows accordingly.
And now it's using all of that Big Data to create stuff you want to see, using its analytics to shape the original videos it is funding.
Take that, William Goldman!
But if you're a Hollywood creative person, that narrative wouldn't sound nearly as appealing: You're already used to getting tons of input and edicts from suits. Now Netflix is promising to up the ante by using computers, too?
Which is why Netflix is not selling that pitch to writers, directors and actors.
Instead, it is promising a hands-off — or mostly hands-off — approach: We'll give you a bunch of money to go make something, and you go make it. And maybe we'll offer some suggestions. (Which is the same approach, by the way, that networks like HBO and Showtime used to coax Hollywood talent for their originals for a long time.)
No need to take my word for it, though. You can hear it straight from the folks who are working with Netflix on the new stuff.
At our D: Dive Into Media conference last month, we had Mitch Hurwitz and Will Arnett, creator and star, respectively, of "Arrested Development," onstage with Ted Sarandos, the Netflix executive who paid them to make a new season of the show. The whole segment is a bunch of fun, but if you want to hear about the input Sarandos did and didn't have on "Arrested Development," skip ahead to the 30:30 mark:
