Rock Crawling
Great composition and colours in the second image
Thanks Jeanie, Making art from a photo is my favorite thing. I went to a national championship rock crawling event last Saturday (Sept 8) .

Great capture on the first, very nice art on the second.
The first image is hard to believe, it must have been a cool thing to see in person!
It's amazing what these drivers are able to accomplish with their vehicles. The second image has amazing looking PP results… excellent work on it!
Thanks Jeanie, Ken and John for the comments. This was my second event and I think this was the best one but with more people. Three hours in the sun was all I could take climbing on the rocks even though it went on for two days. Luckily, it was close to home.

EPA has once again amended Subpart W for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems under the Mandatory GHG Reporting Rule (40 CFR Part 98). EPA finalized the amendments on October 22, 2015, and they became effective on January 1, 2016. The Subpart W amendments include the following changes:
- Requires reporting of GHGs from completions and workovers of oil wells with hydraulic fracturing (part of existing onshore industry segment)
- Adds requirements for two
new industry segments:
- Onshore Petroleum and Natural Gas Gathering and Boosting
- Onshore NG Transmission Pipelines (for transmission pipeline blowdowns between compressor stations)
- Requires reporting of well identification numbers for oil and gas well-specific information (reported in Onshore P&NG segment)
- Finalizes confidentiality determinations for the new data elements associated with these amendments
What do these amendments mean for your facility in 2016? The amendments revise some monitoring requirements and emission calculations that affect calendar year 2016 emissions. That means the changes do not affect your upcoming annual report due by March 31, 2016, which covers calendar year 2015 emissions (i.e.,existing calculation methodologies apply for reporting year 2015).
The amendments apply only to monitoring and emission calculations performed beginning in calendar year 2016. Thus the annual report submitted in March 2017 (covering calendar year 2016 emissions) will be the first report which reflects the new requirements.
If you cannot follow the new monitoring requirements in 2016, the rule allows use of Best Available Monitoring Methods (BAMM) for 2016 only. This allows the facility to transition to the new requirements by 2017. Reporters can use BAMM in 2016 without requesting approval from EPA; however,EPA is not accepting extensions for using BAMM beyond 2016. Note that BAMM does not apply to the well identification numbers requirement.
Also, don't forget to update your Monitoring Plans to reflect any changes in data collection, quality assurance, or calculation methods as required by 40 CFR 98.3(g)(5).
For additional support regarding GHG reporting, contact Georgette Reeves at email@example.com or Aimee Andrews at email@example.com.

St. Lucia vacation
Tomas arrives in St. Lucia
The aftermath of Tomas
So here is the story...........my DH sister and her husband decide to go on holiday to St' Lucia last Sunday, they had a wonderful week until this past week end when Tomas decided to visit their island retreat. His sister said the eye of the storm decided to stall just off the island and they received 10 hours of rain. St. Lucia is all mountains and the flooding was terrible. They could not leave their rooms because of all the dangers including flying glass. They were suppose to come home on Sunday. They are still there, but are hoping to get a small boat to Barbados and a flight home. The runway in St. Lucia is damaged and flights can't come out. Talk about a vacation from hell! She said the first day was kind of exciting but after a few days of not being able to go anywhere or do anything boredom settled in.
You just never know what life is going to bring you. We are just thankful they are safe and that they will be home soon. They may want to hustle, the news says there is another hurricane headed there way. Say a prayer for them, PLEASE! I will let you know when they are home safe and sound.
Happiest when stitching~

52 Weeks: Week Five
I may earn money or products from links or companies mentioned in this post. For more details please see my disclosure.
This week one of my friends, who is also soooo helpful when I need someone to watch Connor, had a rough week. Her husband had an accident and has been unable to move. She has 4 active kiddos at home and I know she was feeling stressed and tired.
I still haven't been 100% health wise this week, but I wanted to serve her and needed to keep it simple. I decided to bring the BBQ sliders I did the second week.
I am so happy she was my meal this week because I ended up not letting the pork sit long enough in the crock pot and had to bring the pork in the crock pot to her house so it could cook a little longer! Food delivery fail. But she was gracious and didn't care.
I have said this the past few weeks but I feel like I need to say it again. I am incredible grateful for what this project has brought to me. Being able to serve another deserving mom and for just a moment not worry about my own self has been beyond powerful, healing even.
If you are just now learning about my project, make sure to read why I felt called to add this to my 2019 goals and I encourage you to ask, serve and share this week!
Interested in getting the recipes I am using each week? Let me come hang out in your inbox! I am always thoughtful of your time and share my favorite tips on meal planning, motherhood, travel and of course all things holidays and celebrating randomly. Click HERE to sign up for free.

Personal Note: I wonder what would President Donald Trump say about this? Some people originally from mainland China have established critical software industry in USA Silicon Valley…related to network security software firm…now a critical focus in mainland China…suddenly mainland China is concerned with cybersecurity! steve, usa, feb 8, firstname.lastname@example.com wechat 1962816801 blog – https://getting2knowyou-china.com
Chinese-born brothers build billion dollar fortunes in Silicon Valley with network security software firm Fortinet
• Chinese-born brothers Ken and Michael Xie are now billionaires from their stakes in cybersecurity firm Fortinet
PUBLISHED : Friday, 08 February, 2019, 8:22am
Cybersecurity has unlocked riches for Ken and Michael Xie. The Chinese-born brothers are now billionaires from their stakes in Fortinet, the Silicon Valley-based network security software firm they co-founded almost two decades ago, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Spurred by high-profile data breaches andmalwareattacks, cybersecurity has become a growing priority for companies.
Cloud-focused firms, including Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks, have benefited as businessesupdatetheir computer infrastructure, posing a threat to more established network security providers such as Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks. Fortinet counts most Fortune 500 companies as its customers, according to its website.
China steps up push to nurture cybersecurity firms
"It's been one of the innovative companies for next-generation products as companies have looked to cyber more," said Mandeep Singh, senior technology analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. "It's a fragmented market, so there's plenty of room for a player to boost their position."
The cybersecuritysoftwaremarket should grow 10 per cent a year through 2023, according to research firm MarketsandMarkets. Fortinet is outpacing that, with 2018 revenue increasing 20 per cent to US$1.8 billion from a year earlier.
Fortinet's shares closed at US$81.22 on Wednesday, more than six times its 2009 public offering price. The stock dipped on Thursday after fourth-quarter adjusted profit missed analysts' estimates.
"We are excited about significant opportunity ahead," Ken Xie, 56, who is chief executive, said on a call Wednesday after Fortinet reported results. He predicted continued growth this year, but added "you need to keep up the innovation".
A spokeswoman for Sunnyvale, California-based Fortinet declined to comment on the brothers' net worths.
200 million Chinese jobseeker CVs leaked: security researcher
Ken Xie has been a US citizen since 1998 and started his first cybersecurity company while studying electrical engineering at Stanford University. He co-founded Fortinet in 2000 after creating and then leaving another online security firm, NetScreen Technologies. Juniper Networks acquired NetScreen in a 2004 all-stock deal valued at US$4 billion.
A decade and a half later, Fortinet's US$13 billion valuation exceeds that of Juniper Networks. Ken Xie is the largest individual shareholder, with a 7.4 per cent stake worth US$1 billion. He has also collected more than US$40 million through share transactions, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Michael Xie, the firm's president and chief technology officer, studied electrical engineering at Canada's University of Manitoba. He owns a 7.1 per cent stake, with almost half held through family trusts, and has collected more than US$70 million through share transactions.
Among other cybersecurity companies, Check Point Software Technologies chief executive Gil Shwed has a US$2.9 billion stake and Palo Alto Networks co-founder Nir Zuk's shares are worth almost US$300 million.
"It's a space that keeps changing and growing fast, keeping me learning every day," Ken Xie said in an interview last year. "And that, I like."

CSE Overview
What is Comprehensive Sexuality Education?
Peter Mladenov
2017-08-25 00:00:00
CSE Today – Time for Action now!
Comprehensive sexuality education enables young people to protect their health, well-being and dignity. It is based on human rights principles, and advance gender equality and the rights and empowerment of young people.
Every young person will one day have life-changing decisions to make about their sexual and reproductive health. Yet research shows that the majority of adolescents lack the knowledge required to make those decisions responsibly, leaving them vulnerable to coercion, sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy.
But it also goes beyond information, helping young people to explore and nurture positive values regarding their sexual and reproductive health. This education includes discussions about family life, relationships, culture and gender roles, and also addresses human rights, gender equality, and threats such as discrimination and sexual abuse

Some of you might know I have a bad back. No less than two prolapsed discs in the lower spine. Well next Thursday I'm going into hospital for an injection in my spine. Scans have shown the nerve which goes into my left leg is twice the size of the right...
I should only be in overnight, but I'll have about a week at home recovering.
My back isn't too good right now. After moving my old 21" CRT to make way for a new widescreen, I'm paying for it with extreme pain.
Right now I'm on a maximum dose of Dihydrocodeine and Diazepam, the combined effect of which I'm lead to believe is like taking heroin... Needless to say I have this odd feeling of invincibility
I was admitted to hospital at 1:00 pm. At 3:30pm I am home. Apparently they only keep you in if you have a reaction, and I've had none.
Actually, I have had a reaction. They say it will ache for a few days - but the aching I have right now is only 10% of the pain I had a few hours ago... I'll take that.
I must take it easy though and not do anything stupid. This has gone really well and I'm not going to spoil it
Hideous orright... speshully when somebody quips: "Ah, shagger's bach, eh!".... and that wasn't the reason.
Glad to hear it went well for you, Fuzzy, all the best in your rcovery.
all the best thoughts on a speedy recovery

Welcome back Fuzzy. Real glad it all went well. You look...um...different!
Sounds like a plan. Glad you're ok.
so glad it went well Fuzzy
Follow instructions, Fuzzy.
Hope you're feeling even better in the coming days.
Good to have you back Fuzzy & to hear that your op went well!
Now just take it easy and rest up!
Well, the backache has gone, but... I have severe sciatic pain now. I guess that's what you get for pumping fluid into an inflamed nerve.
Been back to the Docs today. He's changed my tablets to something more suitable for this type of pain. I'm floating a little off the ground at the moment but they do seem to be having an effect.
I just wish this would all go away
Hope things get better for your Fuzzy or at least you find the proper pain managemnt discipline. Get well.
Well ...... trot on down to the Pub and take a couple of Pints....pain relief and all.......and if not all better in a few hours .... repeat....again and again. Anyway hope the Hospitol got it right and put the parts back in rightside up....or down. Whatever.
I wish you the best i way know too well what is it. Hope everything will works out for you soon and quick recovery.
I hope to hell they didn't do that mate! Btw, I have the same problem...but relatively little pain. One thing that really helped me with the sciatic pain was Indomethacin.
Frequently pain is eased until the anesthetic (local) wears off...then the pain resumes because the extruded pulpy material still presses on the nerve root.
Hope it eases off....ArileenDesign has been a rather ideal patient...hopefully a similar regimen would help you as well.
hang in there fuzzy i hope it gets better soon for you
The Doc switched me to Tramadol, which appears to suit me better. I feel ok at the moment. But like all these type of meds, I never take them after 6 in the evening otherwise I can't sleep.
Of course they did It was a nerve root injection.
As for exercise, the only thing I can do is cycling. As soon as my back settles I'll be starting again
Be careful with Tramadol...they give you a lot of energy. You might end up working yourself into another backache.

Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup: France defeats Olympic champion Argentina, ousts Spain from knock out round
France caused a flutter defeating Olympic champions Argentina 5-3 besides ousting Spain from the knock out round of the Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Thursday. With this splendid win, France is through to the knock out round.
Also Read: Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup: Olympic champion Argentina survives a scare
Intriguingly, in an earlier game, France had muffed a stroke and lost a chance to defeat Spain. But today by defeating Argentina, the French eliminated Spain from the tournament.
In the highest scoring game of the tournament so far, France held its nerve even when Argentina tried to stage a comeback late in the third and early fourth quarter.
Hugo Genestet was rightly adjudged man of the match.
It rained goals in the second quarter. No one expected France to be on goal scoring spree against one of the toughest defence oriented outfit like Argentina. But French did it. Ranked 20th in the world against defending Olympic champion Argentina, ranked number 2 in the world, France shredded the South Americans defence into pieces. But like a Phoenix, a revitalized Argentine defence emerged in the third quarter that did not allow its opponents to have a clear view of its citadel.
Starting with 43rd minute in the third quarter, Gonzalo Peillat tried to bring Argentina back into the game with two brilliant penalty corner conversions. But Francois Goyet had different ideas. He ran in to score the eighth goal of the game to make it 5-3 for France and the tallest scoring match of the tournament so far.In the process, French knocked Spain out of the tournament.
In the last 12 minutes of the Second quarter, the brilliant French duo of Hugo Genestet and Gaspard Baumgarten tormented the Olympic champions deep defence. Though Gaspard scored the first and the fourth goal for his team in the 18th and 30th minute, the role of Hugo Genestet as play maker could not be undermined.
Once in lead, French skipper Victor Charlet pumped in a penalty corner goal in the 23rd minute to make it 2-0 while a minute later it was Coisne Aristide who scored a gem of a field goal to make it 3-0.

Stung by these reverses, experienced Argentina tried to put its game together and managed to reduce the margin in the 23rdminute when Minini combined beautifully with Lucas Martinez who found the target with a perfect drive.
This goal, however, did not deter the French who had been on the rampage. Just before teams were looking forward to half time, Gaspard and Genestet struck again to wrest the advantage for their team again. It was 4-1 at half time.
Drag flicker Gonzalo Peillat scored two penalty corner goals for Argentina, first in the 44th minute with a powerful low flick in the right corner of the goal and the second in the 47thminute with a flick in the roof of the net.

Olympic champions Argentina started as favourites. Though the previous encounters have been evenly shared with both the teams winning three games each of the six encounters that took place, the South Americans had made sure of its berth in the next knock out round with maximum six points from previous two games. Argentina is already through to quarter finals with two emphatic wins in earlier games.
France, the under dogs, has returned to the World Cup after a gap of 28 years and is the lowest ranked team here.

Contacts: Retailers Selling CE with a Twist of Innovation
Butch and Kathy Dunn, Towne Crier Inc., Clovis, NM
In the custom retail business, where relationships are everything, a "million dollar smile" can be a literal commodity. Butch and Kathy Dunn, long-time owners of Towne Crier Inc. on Main Street in Clovis, NM, happen to have two of them, and their upbeat personas are paying off these days with a fast-expanding retail operation. "We try to really take care of people," says Butch. "I'm not saying we kiss their butts, but if there's any problem, we're out there the same day."
The Dunns, assisted by a daughter and daughter-in-law who do all the car audio installations, have spent decades developing a customer base for home electronics, security systems, as well as fine art they sell in what's essentially still a farming community. "There's no high definition in our area yet, aside from Dish or DirecTV," says Butch. ""But we are still showing off big screens. In fact, we just put in a sweet, 12-seat home cinema. We hope they'll catch on in the more expensive homes."

May 2019. Four months down. I could dwell on the things I have not done. There are plenty. For instance…my goal to write to this blog weekly hasn't materialized with work obligations and other obstacles. I haven't picked up my guitar since January. My daily yoga has turned into "hopefully" 1x per week. My weight hasn't been where I would like it to be. I owe my clients some reports…and I could go on and on and on.
But I've decided to focus on the small victories that I have managed to do. These include – studying for my health coach exam. Registering for my Precision Nutrition Certification and IDEA World Live. I registered my new company, had a logo created, refined my business plan and am getting some swag made.
I 've stayed consistent with my weight lifting and am seeing the changes both physically and mentally. In general my diet has been good, but my hormone fluctuations as I head into the big "M" are definitely having some impact. So I am mentally trying to not focus on the scale and look towards how my clothes fit and how I feel.
My sleeping has improved. I am almost (if not 100%) healed from my surgery in November. I've scheduled a handful of nice vacations.
But here is where I want to focus. I've awakened from my sleep every morning. My family including my 84 year old parents are still healthy. I get to exercise..every day. I've seen some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets that I can remember this year. I've gotten to travel to Europe, Asia, Hawaii and the west coast already. I started my second company and will likely start a 3rd in 2020.
SO all in all. I would say things are moving along. moving forward. Have I been able to grow my Instagram following? No. Do I really care? No.
Instead of focusing on things I really can't control, I'm controlling the things I can. It is these small steps that are adding up to larger victories and I could not be happier. Why? Because I actually took the steps. I started.
New day. New Month. New Opportunities. Just start. Whatever it is. Just start.
Live. Love. Laugh. Grow.

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
I first met Charlie in 1961 when I was a teaching assistant in the Department of Psychology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This was a rather odd position for me because I was in my second year of graduate school in the department of experimental psychology at Harvard. This arrangement, however, illustrates the kind of discrimination against women in experimental psychology during the early 1960s (as well as earlier and later). I will briefly outline why I was working at MIT to contrast the attitudes and behaviors of the Harvard faculty with Charlie's kindness and support of women.
Sexism was particularly virulent at Harvard. There were, of course, no female faculty members and only two female postdoctoral fellows during the six years I studied there. The first week I arrived, Richard Herrnstein, the director of the graduate program, called a meeting of the first-year graduate students and announced that only one in two men were expected to obtain their PhD and only one of four women. I do not know if the percentages were correct. However, in an examination of PhD recipients during the time the program existed as a separate department (1951–1973), 99 men received their PhD and only 14 women.
These figures might help explain why I was supervising a very large class in introductory psychology at MIT. The Harvard department had been founded by E. G. Boring, who, like his mentor Titchener, did not believe that women should be experimental psychologists (Furumoto,
Professor Teuber was very supportive when I told him I was interested in physiological psychology and introduced me to Charlie and Steve Chorover, who were studying the frontal cortex of monkeys at that time. They allowed me to assist in operations and taught me how to use stereotaxic devices. When I decided to do some research in a related area, the only animals available in the Harvard laboratory were pigeons and rats. Charlie and Steve believed that the caudate nucleus of lower mammals had some of the functions of the frontal cortex in primates so I began to examine the effect of caudate nucleus lesions on the ability of rats to make rapid temporal and spatial shifts. This allowed me to use sophisticated operant conditioning techniques available in Skinner's lab. Harvard did not have any objection to this combination of physiological psych and operant conditioning, and Charlie became my more or less official advisor.
The transition to official thesis advisor was made easy because Charlie joined the Harvard experimental psychology program as an assistant professor in 1964. I tried to convince him not to do so because I believed he would be incompatible with its sexist and politically conservative faculty. By the time I was finishing up my doctoral dissertation in 1966, Charlie and Dick Herrnstein (another member of my doctoral committee because of the operant techniques I used) were barely on speaking terms. Some of you may remember Herrnstein as the coauthor of The Bell Curve, which argued that intelligence was genetically determined and underlay social class as well as racial differences (Herrnstein & Murray,
On the basis of the autobiography that Charlie wrote for the American Psychologist when he received APA's gold medal for achievement in science (Gross,
Charlie continued to support me, and I did get a tenure track position at Hofstra University, which had no laboratory facilities for physiological research and no intention of spending money to develop one. Unlike most of the men at Harvard, I had never received any informal instruction on how to write grants or introductions to potential senior collaborators. During the period of social unrest of the mid 1960s and early 1970s I also found myself drawn into civil rights and anti-Vietnam War activities as well as feminism. With a colleague at Hofstra who had been trained in verbal learning, I began to publish social psychological studies examining racism and sexism. I kept Charlie informed about my shifting interests, and he remained supportive, although it became more difficult for him to write letters of recommendation.
Because I had not yet officially abandoned physiological psychology, I decided to join Division 6 (Comparative and Physiological Psychology) shortly after I joined APA in 1972. To my surprise, the division turned down my application as well as that of Mary Brown Parlee, who had worked with Richard Held and received her PhD from MIT at about the same time I had received mine. The official reason was that neither of us had published in the area although we had given papers at conferences. Charlie was appalled especially because there was nothing in the division's by-laws requiring professional publications for simple membership.
Charlie introduced me to Ethel Tobach—a renowned comparative psychologist and tireless social activist. They managed to convince the division to grant us membership. As you might expect, the division had a low percentage of female members (about 15%) at the time we applied. Ethel Tobach has told me recently that she met Charlie because they worked together to force Division 6 to live up to its by-laws and accept Mary Parlee and me as members. Soon after this, Ethel and Charlie collaborated on a book entitled, The four horsemen: Racism, sexism, militarism, and social Darwinism (Tobach, Gianutsos, Topoff, & Gross,
Charlie's chapter was entitled, "Biology and pop-biology: Sex and sexism," and its first sentence "It is hardly news that women are oppressed" is part of the title of this article (Gross,
Charlie drew on evidence from comparative and physiological psychology to debunk the idea that women's inferiority to men was based on sex differences in biology. He listed a series of biological myths about female inferiority and then debunked them. These included the idea that, among primates, dominance and leadership are male traits. He described a number of primate species where such gender differences do not exist. He argued for consideration of environmental influences and pointed out that male dominance was greatest among those species that lived on the ground rather than in the trees. He concluded this section by asking whether we really want to take the Hamadryas baboon as our social and ethical model.
He next went on to question data arguing that male bonding in primates was a unique evolutionary development that made men more suitable for political leadership and that women are unsuitable for leadership positions because of mood shifts based on the menstrual cycle. He described conflicting data in both areas and noted the absence of research on what is now known as "jet lag" as well as on circadian rhythms in both sexes.
Finally, he discussed the evidence for a genetic basis for masculine and feminine characteristics. The original studies on biologically anomalous humans by John Money that emphasized the role of the environment have proved to be incorrect. It is, of course, impossible to separate humans from the awareness of their own genitalia. Current literature emphasizes that the sexes form two extensively overlapping distributions in virtually all behaviors. Unfortunately, they also show that many psychologists prefer to look at sex differences rather than at sex similarities. We are not as free from sexist biases as Charlie's earlier remarks promised we could be.
Many feminist psychologists have discussed issues involving the biological bases of sex and gender. It is important to remember, however, how many years ago this chapter was written and that it was written by an eminent man in the field. There was still little theoretical and empirical work that questioned sexist views about sex differences. Charlie cited the current scientific literature as well as a paper that is considered the first important paper in feminist psychology published only few years before the discussion at the New York Academy of Sciences that helped generate both his chapter and the book as a whole (Weisstein,
As indicated earlier, Charlie was prepared to take action when he believed that organized psychology was being unfair to women. He took on APA's Division of Comparative and Physiological Psychology privately but made a much more public disclosure when he published a letter to the editor of the American Psychologist in response to an article on the history of an organization of experimental psychologists called "The Psychological Round Table," which explicitly excluded women from membership in the organization (Benjamin,
Charlie went on to state that, in the late 1960s, he and many of his friends stopped attending meetings because of the sexist, antidemocratic, and secretive nature of the organization. They never succeeded in communicating their concerns to the leaders of the organization. In 1974, he attended a meeting (with Naomi Weisstein) to raise these issues again. He reported that there had been some changes, and a few women were in attendance. Another "improvement" was that male genitalia were now included among the slides of women's bodies for the main lecture. But the changes were quite limited.
It is not clear whether the Psychological Round Table still exists, although they were meeting in the 1990s. The Society of Experimental Psychology still exists and has always been more public. However, a photo from the SEP archives of attendees at the 1997 meeting still shows only one woman in attendance (see
One might wonder why Charlie's exposure of a small organization of self-appointed "best and brightest" was important. In addition to the exclusion and denigration of women, Charlie pointed out that the members of the organization were in positions of power and were able to support each other in obtaining grants, publications, and career advancement. These opportunities might not have been available to most male psychologists, but they were most definitely withheld from women psychologists no matter how good their research was. The secrecy that the organization maintained for many years has made it difficult to show the impact on the field of their covert use of power.
Charlie's personal and professional support of women is less well known than his contributions to cognitive neuroscience. I think it is interesting that some of his female students who came of age in the 1960s left neuroscience for research on women and gender (although
Charlie has never held my change of fields against me. He has been a rare model of male feminism when some think that it is a contradiction in terms. I am proud to have been his first doctoral student and proud to participate in this celebration of his life and tremendous contributions to the field.

I took my truck in for routine service the other day. As the young kid at the service desk went to hand me my keys he asked me to fill out an online survey grading his performance.
"You did just fine," I offered.
"Well, if you fill out the survey, make sure to give me a perfect score. If I get anything lower than a perfect score, it goes against my performance review," he explained, "I need a 10 out of 10. If you give me a 9 out of 10, I might not get a raise."
"No shit?" I asked, "So you are either Bo Derek or the ugliest girl at the dance? No in between?"
"Yup," he smiled, though I am not sure he really knows who Bo Derek is.
"How does that make you feel?"
He laughed softly and gave me my keys without answering.
If this were the first time I had heard this story, I would think he was pulling my leg, just trying to game his score. He was a nice kid, and he did his job competently with a smile on his face, but it was an ordinary transaction. Average. Just like every other transaction I have had at the dealership over the last fifteen years, and the very reason I keep coming back. Consistent competence. A 10 out 10, a perfect score, is like seeing a woman who is so beautiful or a man who is so handsome, that you actually give yourself whiplash when you snap your head around for a second look. That is 10 out of 10. On a scale of 1 to 10, the average person is a 5.5. I would give this kid a 6 out of 10, and feel good about it. To have this kid tell me that, if I generously give him a 9 out 10, his boss will put a bag over his head because he is just too damn ugly seems a little wacky. Nobody is that big a dick, are they? The kid has to be lying, right?
Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have heard this story. As a matter of fact, just about every shop I do business with has the same sort of survey request on the bottom of the receipt. Whenever a cashier mentions the survey, the story is always the same. Their scores have to be beauty-pageant perfect, or they will suffer some sort of consequence. A bad review. A demotion. No raise. Get fired. That sort of stuff. As a matter of fact, some poor sap begs me to give them a "review" almost every day. If I log into some web account or another, they are always wringing their hands, asking me to "take a minute to rate their performance." I get these desperate, attention seeking requests in my e-mail all the time (one just popped into my inbox as I am typing. I cannot even write in peace without some drama queen CEO shopping for compliments). I get literally hundreds of survey requests every year. It is as pervasive as garlic and heavy perfume at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Get me some fresh air, please! And if I applaud the employee, but criticize company policy in my review, it is the employee who gets hurt because the score is not perfect. So when this poor kid at the auto repair shop begged me to give him a good review, he really meant it. His livelihood will be on the line if I do not tell his boss that this $11.95-an-hour kid could star on Broadway and that the boss is the most handsome devil west of the Mississippi. Crazy, huh?
I have a lot of empathy for that poor kid. Sympathy and pity, too. It is hard to have someone with whom you have such a close, personal relationship put such unrealistic expectations on your performance every minute of every day, then berate you on a daily basis when you are not cover-girl beautiful (those photos are always airbrushed and photo-shopped, by the way). It is even harder when the person telling you that you are ugly is in a position of authority over you, and threatens your future as a punishment for failure. So now I have to make a decision. Do I lie and help this poor kid with the cooking and the chores, and get him cleaned up for dinner… making him out to be better than he is… so that when the Old Man comes home drunk the kid does not get a beating? Or do I tell the truth, and screw the kid? Do I punish the boss by taking my business somewhere else on principle? Or do I walk away and say nothing, refusing to play the game at all?
Well, I am no liar, so any review I give will be an honest review. Unfortunately, an honest review will result in a good kid getting punished for treating me decently. I cannot be a party to someone being punished for basic decency, therefore I cannot, in good conscience, give any sort of feedback whatsoever. If I take my business to the dealership down the street, their boss is also using the same review process to browbeat his employees (true fact! I know guys at both shops), so that would be like robbing Judas to pay Pilate. The only choice I have left is to not play the game at all. That poor kid is on his own. I am not going to hurt him, but I cannot save him. Nor can I save any of the other millions upon millions of $10 an hour employees just like him.
What I have noticed in recent years is that corporate America has become obsessed with being told they are beautiful.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of them all?
If you say 'tis other than me, I will punish my employee!"
It is as though these companies know they have a history of not being good citizens and are so desperate to put lipstick on the pig that they are attempting to coerce our compliments so they can report to the world that they are truly loved. It is a sort of Wonderland madness, really. Instead of them worrying about getting 10 out 10 on their surveys, perhaps they could start doing right by their employees and their customers instead of treating them like property. (Hey, stop laughing! I am being serious here!)
As for me, I am everyman. I do not complain. I do not fill out surveys even if you offer me free tacos, coffee, or car washes. If I come through your door, you have already passed the test. If I don't come back… if I am spending my time at your competition… I guarantee you it has more to do with your culture at the top than with some poor kid at the bottom, so stop being "that guy." Your employees might actually learn to like you, instead of being terrified that the beatings will continue until morale improves.
ps. I just have to add this – I was just driving home a few minutes ago and my phone rings. Luckily I was not in Beaverton city limits yet, so was able to use my hand-free system and answer the call. It was a robo-call asking me to rate the service of business I had recently used, "Were you satisfied with our service? Please answer YES or NO," so I roll my eyes and say loudly, "YES!" The robot computer (think free labor and zero personal touch) responded, "I am sorry, I did not understand your response," so I hung up. Sorry there, boss man, the service was fine, but I am only going to give you a 1 out of 10 for being so flipping needy and annoying, and, according to loads of researchers and investigative journalists, the vast majority of your customers feel the same as I do.

Iowa, Use Tax, and Streamlined Sales Tax
- Feb 6, 2013 | Gail Cole
The Review Unit of the Iowa Department of Revenue recently released documentation regarding a taxpayer's use tax protest. The case involves a taxpayer who purchased tangible personal property from a business in Kentucky and had it shipped to Iowa, his state of residence. The DOR sent him a bill for use tax on the purchases; the taxpayer paid the use tax but protested.
The fact that Iowa and Kentucky are Streamlined Sales and Use Tax states is relevant. They are both subject to Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) laws.
SST laws help "… determine which state has the right to tax a given transaction when more than one state is involved in the sale of tangible personal property or an enumerated service." The DOR quotes Iowa Code §423.15(1), "which sets forth the general 'sourcing' provisions for Iowa under SST:
1. Sales … shall be sourced as follows:
a. When the product is received by the purchaser at a business location of the seller, the sale is sourced to that business location.
b. When the product is not received by the purchaser at a business location of the seller, the sale is sourced to the location where receipt by purchaser … occurs … .
c. When paragraphs 'a' and 'b' do not apply, the sale is sourced to the location indicated by an address for the purchaser that is available from the business records of the seller that are maintained in the ordinary course of the seller's business when use of this address does not constitute bad faith. (Emphasis added by DOR)."
In the case in question, the Iowa DOR has determined that "the sales are 'sourced' to Iowa because the delivery address is located in Iowa." As such, "Iowa has the right to tax these transactions based upon its consumer use tax laws."
The taxpayer thought he paid Kentucky sales tax on the purchases but "cannot locate the original receipt for this transaction… ." Who among us has not misplaced a receipt? Luckily for IDOR, the Kentucky Department of Revenue does have a record of the sales; it shows that "there was no sales tax collected on the transactions in question."
Streamlined Sales and Use Tax was created to "simplify and modernize sales and use tax administration in order to substantially reduce the burden of tax compliance." One of the ways the agreement does this is through "[u]niform sourcing rules for all taxable transactions." Certainly, these sourcing rules helped clarify who was responsible for what taxes in the use tax protest examined here.
What is unclear is whether or not the Iowa taxpayer was aware of these sourcing rules. Iowa has taken steps recently to elucidate use tax obligations. Other states, such as California and Wyoming, have done the same.

The American Music Awards celebrated the best talent from all over the world, with Lorde, Taylor Swift and Iggy Azalea all winning big proving that this year's music awards firmly belonged to the girls.
Not content with merely being nominated, British lads One Direction won all three of the awards they were nominated for highlighting that the boys are just as loved across the pond as they are here in the UK. One Direction won Artist Of The Year, Favourite Band Duo or Group – Pop/Rock and Favourite Pop/Rock Album for 'Midnight Memories'.
Taylor Swift was a big winner taking home the Dick Clark Award For Excellence and celebrated in style by busting her best dad dance moves as she watched best friend Lorde take to the stage to perform her track 'Yellow Flicker Beat' from the upcoming Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack. Taylor got so excited for Lorde that she planted a massive smooch on the New Zealander's cheek which then remained there for the remainder of the night. If we were Lorde right now, we'd never wash our faces ever again either!
Not content with winning one of the best awards on the night, Swift also opened the show with the first ever television performance of her latest single 'Blank Space' which brought the house down. Swift's award was presented to her by none other than Diana Ross, much to the delight of Swift who has silenced her doubters with new record '1989'.
Sam Smith, Katy Perry and 5 Seconds Of Summer all picked up one award apiece in their respective categories. Performances came from Charli XCX who performed a mash-up of her singles 'Boom Clap' and 'Break The Rules' backed by her all girl power band, Charli has firmly cemented her status as fully fledged pop-star as she ripped through outfit changes and even a mosh pit. The unlikely pairing of Sam Smith and A$AP Rocky was an interesting combo as they took to the stage to belt out Smith's hit 'I'm Not The Only One' but as always, if something isn't broke then don't fix it. Rocky's verse trampled all over the most poignant part of the song leaving it more than just a little lacklustre and trendy for trendy's sake.
Teaming up for their runaway hit 'Fancy' Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX returned to the stage to then treat the audience to Iggy's latest single 'Beg For It' that should have been accompanied by Danish singer MO. MO's lack of presence was noted as the track was performed and yet again still feels like a budget version of 'Fancy' on Iggy's part stifling the sheer talent of emerging artist MO.
I won't even go into Pitbull's performance because let's be real, was he ever relevant? And why do people still think he holds any relevance in the modern music industry? His only talent is wearing nasty suits, having an overly shiny head and wearing sunglasses in the least appropriate place possible; INSIDE! Don't even get me started on his so called 'songs' which seem to all consist of some Latino inspired mumbling and some deeply cringy odes to partying the night away and raising or cups to the sky… Just no.

There are times when we must sink to the bottom of our misery to understand truth, just as we must descend to the bottom of a well to see the stars in broad daylight. - Vaclav Havel
The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not our circumstances. - Martha Washington
Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness. - Leon Trotsky
May I make a suggestion, hoping it is not an impertinence? Write it down: write down what you feel. It is sometimes a wonderful help in misery. - Robertson Davies
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. - Carlos Castaneda
so what if i lead a miserable life? do you really care? -_-
some people loves judging other people from their own narrow-minded perspectives. i'm not blaming you (yes, you who think you know everything about me!) but still who are you to judge me? you don't even know me! just because you've read my blog or pretended to be my so called caring Facebook friend, that doesn't mean you know me your entire life. in your dreams, maybe!
stop laughing upon other people's misery coz you never know what's gonna happen tomorrow or in the future. maybe their miseries & your so called blessed life will switch sides. who knows?
if you really hate me, then why do you still trying to keep updated with my life? my life is mine, not yours! get over it!
p/s :- i do whatever i want whenever i feel like it. don't like it? then stop coming here & erase me from your life! you know who you are! i don't even need to expose you!

From July to October 2012, I have taught a module for the 3rd-year diploma students majoring in Photography at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), Singapore.
Prior to that, I have never foreseen myself teaching a studio-based course. But I have been given the freedom to develop the module based on my research. The possibility is hard to turn down.
How then do we teach contemporary photography in a way that is relevant for practitioners in Singapore and Southeast Asia?
In the end, I decided to design the module as a series of sessions for students, tutor and guest speakers to discuss issues and approaches pertaining to contemporary photography, especially within Southeast Asia.
By examining the possibilities and limitations of photography, the module encourages the students to explore different methodologies in relation to the medium. It informs them about the themes and issues addressed by artists working with photography in Southeast Asia. It also encourages them to think of the materiality and "social life" of photography.
In the first few sessions, I offered a timeline of photographic practices in Southeast Asia.
Here are highlights from the other sessions.
Sam Kang Li (left) talks about the challenges and potential problems of doing a "hyper-local" project, like his At Our Doorsteps.
Samantha Tio (middle) and Kabul (left) present their community-based photo work, Malam di Jari Kita (The Wax on our Fingers), to the class.
Tay Kay Chin (light blue jeans) and Edwin Koo (foreground), two former Straits Times (ST) photographers, talk about the need to "unlearn" what they learnt in ST when both of them left the paper. They also discuss the notion of "truth" in documentary photography. And they answer the questions of how they make a living as documentary photographers in Singapore.
Nguyen Nhu Huy, founder of Zero Station in Saigon, speaks to my students about the programmes that they run at the art space.
Erin Gleeson, an expert on Cambodian contemporary art, offers an overview of contemporary photography in the country.
Visiting her studio at Goodman Arts Centre, Genevieve Chua tells my students about the importance of research in her multi-disciplinary work.
Chua Chye Teck reminds my students of the importance of being slow, patient and comfortable in their photographic practices. He explains the basis of his work, which is to use the photographs that he takes to analyse his interests, thoughts and obsessions.
Students and lecturers from the photo department at Chiang Mai University and from NAFA share their works in a combined class, here in Singapore.
Toh Hun Ping talks about the history of moving visuals and its longstanding relationship with photography. His video work involves reconstituting the various boundaries and dimensions of the medium.
Nurul Huda brings us to the NUS Museum for her exhibition, The Sufi and the Bearded Man: Re-membering a Keramat in Contemporary Singapore, and explains the potential of photography as a visual research tool.

BYU graduate Kaleb Whitby was traveling down the frozen Oregon interstate, when suddenly, the semi-truck in front of him began to jackknife. Whitby reacted immediately, shifting down his Chevy truck and braking, but there was little he could do to stop skidding across the asphalt coated with black ice.
Whitby's truck smashed into the semi-trailer, and the force spun his car around. "While I was sitting there helpless and in the dark, I looked out my passenger window and saw lights coming straight at me," Whitby recalls. Those lights he saw through the water-streaked window were the lights of an oncoming semi.
"I could hear it coming, the brakes, the engine, and then the crash," Whitby says.
"Before it hit me I remember praying and saying 'thank you' to my Heavenly Father for protecting me through the impact with the first trailer. When I saw the lights coming at me, the prayer continued but changed to 'Please help me' repeated over and over. . . . My thoughts turned to my wife and son and future baby and how much I love them. All I did was turn my head forward, grip the steering wheel tightly, and hope for the best."
When the semi finally made impact, Whitby's car was crushed around him, collapsing like an accordion. The front end of Whitby's extended-cab pickup became jammed between the small crevice created by the semi's two trailers. Had the car moved a foot in either direction, or had the car been anything other than a truck with an extended cab, Whitby would have been crushed.
"When I realized that I was alright, even though I was pinned in a very small space, all I could say was 'thank you' while continuing to pray for protection and the ability to get out of the pickup. I just remember bracing for the worst and leaving the rest to my Heavenly Father."
Whitby was stuck between the two semis for over a half an hour before rescue teams could cut him free of the wreckage. Walking away from the accident, Whitby was completely sound save for a few scratches and a single bruise. And he knew, even in that moment, what power it was to which he owed his life.
"I can't express enough gratitude to the Lord for His protection in a time I felt so alone," he says. "It has reaffirmed my faith in God, the power of a prayer, the protection that he offers His children, and the power of the garment and the priesthood which were all helping to protect me. I play the scene over and over in my mind and I can never see the situation ending the way it did without divine intervention."
After the crash, it took Whitby another 12 hours and over 200 miles before he could see his wife and son again, who were waiting for him in Basin City, Washington. Whitby's parents drove him the long miles home. Shaken and anxious, Whitby kept reliving moments of the accident along the drive, only feeling at peace once he finally had his wife in his arms.
Now that Whitby has had time to process the accident, he recognizes that this experience has altered his perspective, providing an intense gratitude of the life he has been given and a clarity of what is most important. "A lot of things in this life can be replaced," Whitby says. "What I have with my family cannot. I'm more patient with and grateful for them and all that they do for me."
And in his love and gratitude for his family, Whitby remembers to thank his Heavenly Father and recognize His hand in preserving his life. "I've tried to think of Him more often throughout my day, to admire His hand in all things, and to be grateful for the tender mercies He offers me," he says. "I don't think I can ever do enough to show Him how thankful I am. I suppose the only thing that would please Him would be to live up to my covenants, continue to serve in the church and honor my priesthood, and to be the kind of man God would want me to be."

Snorkel Park Beach - Would You Go?
If you are looking for something to do that is close to the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda, you are probably going to hear about Snorkel Park Beach. In fact, several cruise employees mentioned to us that they would be heading over there when they were allowed to leave the ship. (that's because they run a night club 10pm-3am)
Snorkel Park Beach is a man- made beach conveniently located by the cruise ships.
They offer paid activities like Snorkeling, Scuba, Jet Skis as well as beach chairs, chaise lounges, umbrellas, cabana beds and day beds for rent. If you want to pedal boat, paddle board, or kayak, or if you lost your noodle, you can rent those all at Snorkel Park Beach.
There is a bar and grill there and the "Club Aqua" is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday for the over 18 crowd.
Admission to the beach is $5/per person.
I can see how this could be a good option for some people. $5 is cheaper than getting a taxi to another beach for sure. If you want to stay close to the ship, easily go back to eat, and have activities close by that you want to pay for, sure. This could work. For me.. I was much more interested in seeing the natural beaches and beauty of Bermuda. You know.. Like this:

HNTB's Diana Mendes Named Chair of APTA Legislative Committee and Member of APTA's Executive Committee
ARLINGTON, Va. – Diana Mendes, AICP, HNTB Corporation Mid-Atlantic Division president, transit/rail practice leader and senior vice president, has been named chair of the American Public Transportation Association Legislative Committee and appointed to APTA's Executive Committee. The 2017-2018 slate of officers was voted on during the APTA Annual Meeting in Atlanta on October 7.
"HNTB has a long and successful history with APTA. I am honored to be elected by APTA's diverse membership to support the organization's mission of strengthening and improving public transportation," Mendes said.
The election of Mendes marks the first time in APTA's 135-year history that the chair of the Legislative Committee is from a private-sector firm, such as HNTB.

The Executive Committee is comprised of individuals who are elected by APTA members to act on behalf of the full APTA Board of Directors, when the full board is not in session.

She regularly speaks at a wide variety of conferences, including Women's Transportation Seminar, Transportation Research Board, Rail~Volution and the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials. She has delivered more than 40 presentations to share results of her project work and research.
HNTB is currently involved with many of the nation's most high-profile transit programs, including the Los Angeles Metro Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor, Charlotte Area Transit System's LYNX Blue Line in North Carolina, and the Bay Area Rapid Transit Silicon Valley Phase II in San Jose and Santa Clara, California.
