Tony Kendall died sunday night at the age of 73 after a lengthy bout of cancer.Rest in peace, Joe Walker....
Kendall (born Luciano Stella) rose to fame in Europe in the mid-sixties as the lead in the movie adaptions of german pulp novel series "Kommissar X". He starred in 54 films over the years (with his last one in 2007), among them The Return of the Evil Dead, The Loreley's Grasp (both part of the "Blind Dead"-series) and Yeti - The Giant of the 20th Century.

DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - The Essentia Health-Duluth Clinic building on 1st Street will be the place to go for an up-close and very personal look at a colon. As part of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a large inflatable colon will be open for self guided tours from 8 a-m to 4 p-m on March 5th and 6th. This colossal colon features the healthy pink tissue of a normal bowel and also depicts bulging growths called polyps and the bright red mass from advanced colon cancer. Colon cancer is the number two cause of cancer deaths in the U-S and each year, more Americans are diagnosed with colon cancer than the populations of Duluth and Superior combined. The earlier colon cancer is caught the greater the possibility of a cure. A colonoscopy is recommended for everyone starting at age 50 and even sooner if there is a family history of the disease. The giant colon will also be appearing at Essentia Health in Virginia on March 11th and at Essentia St. Mary's Hospital in Superior on March 15th.

The Issue
When it comes to any discussion about Western cotton production, everything starts with water availability. Even though the winter snowpack has increased supplies to farms in California, Arizona and New Mexico, producers are taking a proactive approach to make sure water is available and distributed fairly.

GRAND CHUTE, WI (WTAQ) - It's amazing what you can find cleaning out a garage as one Grand Chute family found out Saturday, when they discovered a bomb.
Police say officers were sent to a home in the 2700 block of West Highway Drive for a possible explosive device.
The cops determined that the device was suspicious and called for the Brown/Outagamie County Bomb Squad.
The bomb squad arrived and found the device was an actual improvised explosive device. The device was recovered and rendered safe.
Both agencies continue to investigate the incident.

Concerns related to bowel diversion Bowel Diversion Surgery At A Glance Hope through research Find a local Doctor in your town What Is Bowel Diversion Surgery? Bowel diversion surgery allows stool to safely leave the body when (because of disease or injury) the large intestine is removed or needs time to heal. Bowel is a general term for any part of the small or large intestine. Some bowel diversion surgeries (those called ostomy surgery)divert the bowel to an opening in the abdomen where a stoma is created. A surgeon forms a stoma by rolling the bowel's end back on itself, like a shirt cuff, and stitching it to the abdominal wall. An ostomy pouch is attached to the stoma and worn outside the body to collect stool. Other bowel diversion surgeries reconfigure the intestines after damaged portions are removed. For example, after removing the colon, a surgeon can create a colon like pouch out of the last part of the small intestine, avoiding the need for an ostomy pouch. Cancer, trauma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), bowel obstruction, and diverticulitis are all possible reasons for bowel diversion surgery.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - Wausau's school board is going forward with a Stettin Elementary expansion project.
The school board voted 5-3 Monday night in favor of the nearly $700,000 project, which will add two more classrooms to the crowded elementary building.
A recent study of the school district found that Stettin is the school in the district facing the worst overcrowding, especially as more children start to enter kindergarten. School board president Michelle Schaefer says the choice was to move ahead with expanding the school. "This is just the option that worked best for us."
Some board members expressed concern about using the district's fund balance to pay for the construction, since that is the money set aside to handle operating costs before state aid payments come in. Board member Dale Lawson says the balance is now at about 22.2 million dollars.
The final costs and designs for the Stettin expansion are expected at next month's school board meeting.

Ladislav Smid 10-11: When The Deal Goes Down
Ladislav Smid has played a lot of NHL games for such a young man. 331 games into an NHL career, he's 25 years old. If his skill level allows it, Smid could play 1,500 games in the best league on the planet.
Long time readers of this blog know that I have (at various times) suggested the Oilers might consider trading Smid. Reasons given by others suggest I'm impatient or that Smid's abilities are too subtle for the aged to grasp.
Neither is the reason. My reasoning has to do with "giving up something of value when getting something of value in return" and "replacement level." Simply put, Ladislav Smid is a pretty famous hockey player–still young, still affordable–who does things that many other players in the blue pool can duplicate.
He's an ideal trade asset. His years of playing in other rinks have shown opposition General Managers that he's mobile, tough, healthy and willing. Should the Oilers trade him, Smid's range of skills are reasonably easy to replace at similar salary cost. I don't dislike Smid, I like him. Can't wait to see what he brings.
Ladislav Smid 10-11
- 5×5 points per 60: 0.43 (6th among Oil D)
- 5×4 points per 60: 1.04 (6th among Oil D)
- Qual Comp: 4th toughest among D
- Qual Team: 5th best available among D
- Corsi Rel: 2.3 (3rd best among D)
- Zone Start: 48.6% (2nd toughest among D)
- Zone Finish: 51.1% (2nd best among D)
- Shots on goal/percentage: 48 shots/0 goals
- Boxcars: 78gp, 0-10-10
- Plus Minus: -10 on a team that was -52
- What do these numbers tell us? A year ago, Smid played easy minutes with quality help and had the third best CorsiRel among the defensemen. This season he played tougher minutes with lesser 'mates and delivered the 3rd best CorsiRel again. That's certainly progress, especially when we factor in Zone Start. I do wonder about his qual team number (played with Gilbert 35% of the time) but this is a solid line for a defensive defenseman.
- What about his expected plus minus? He should have expected to finish around -17. His -10 is a good number considering he's playing 2nd pairing minutes.
- How could these numbers be better? I don't know. Smid doesn't bring a lot of offense so 10 points is good and the CorsiRel is very nice. This was a good NHL season for Smid.
- Anything else? He was healthy for the entire season, that's a very good sign. He missed 21 games one year ago due to a neck injury so a full season goes a long way to allaying fears he is injury prone.
- You thought he'd deliver more offensively. Sure did. He had 25 assists in the AHL at age 19, and that's a nice rookie number (it was second on the team). But he's settled in as a "stay at home" defender with the usual 10 points and he has no shot from the point at all. Added to that are his rushes up ice where he skates smoothly through the opposition and then gives them the puck. He's like a mailman, delivers every time.
- Why don't you just say it? You hate him. No, I don't. I just don't see the point in placing a premium on his player type. Smid is an extreme defensive defenseman, which means he needs to be an outstanding even and PK performer to be worth a lot.
- Let's try this another way. What do you like about him? I like Smid's size and he's really settled down in terms of positioning the last couple of seasons. Smid has his slip-ups, but in the post lockout era pretty much every defenseman is going to look silly a few times every year. Smid didn't have as many of those kinds of moments this year. He still has a tendency to leave his partner high and dry (although his suicide passes seem to be a thing of the past) and his sorties into the opponents end usually end with him getting back in time. He also seemed to have some success as a penalty killer later into the season.
- What don't you like about him? Less and less. He doesn't have a large range of skills, but if he can help the PK and play 2nd pairing minutes while surviving then Smid should have a career in a depth role.
- But not in Edmonton. I think he should be one of the players considered expendable. Remember when he played with Lubo? That was a perfect role for him. Stay at home, make sure there's someone back if things get crazy. I don't think you should pay a lot for that role and I also think that when a team calls after him it's worth thinking about; he's not a vital cog in the machine and his skill set is available in ample amounts.
- You've wanted him traded forever and the Oilers never do it. They're too smart. Quite right. Keep Smid, Trade Lubo. We could make a sign.

Street Fighter - Abstract Edition (by Ashley Browning)
This is a one-off piece, and a departure from usual Minimalism pieces of mine. This time I just wanted to go really, really basic. Initially, I felt I was creating a Bauhaus/De Stijl inspired piece, but after finishing it, I thought it also looked like the primitive graphics from Atari 2600 or Intellivision consoles.
I've put this one up as a t-shirt too, in case anyone wants to buy it
Too amazing.

clean and comfortable overall only fair.
the biggest issue regarded the breakfast. the eggs and sausage were not even to the level of Mc Donalds breakfast cereal was stale and the milk was warm. Not a pleasant combination orange juice was watered down and tasted of spice.I found the overall to be good but this hotel has a serious saftey problem. The bathing area had a style of bath tub with the bottom of the tub sits about 3 inches higher than the bathroom floor. If you combine this with a slick floor as in my wifes case it is a recipe for disaster. My wife suffered from a serious fall. The rest of our day was spent at the minor med clinic and with her in bed resting. Now 6 days later she is still very sore and bruised. for this reason alone, I could never recommend this hotel in the future

The staff was particularly helpful. For instance the Garmin did not recognize the 'new ' name for the street address but once we called, we learned what the street used to be called.

It's that time of year again when Daddy cranks up the grill! However, finding a match around the house when you need it is a next to impossible task. This simple design will look cute on my kitchen counter and it looks super easy to make. The only supplies you'll need for this project are Strike Anywhere matches {important that you don't get Strike on Box matches}, black sandpaper, empty plastic baby food containers or mason jar, scissors, and hot glue. I think it would would be a cute Father's Day gift to go along with new grill tools!

In the article "Weather-Tight Exteriors" in your Fall 2004
issue, Clayton DeKorne mentions a study being done by the
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. on the drying potential of
various wall systems, including one using Home Slicker. He said
the study was to be done by the end of 2005. How can I find the
results of this study (or any other similar studies)?
Ron Lynch, Nantucket, Mass.
Editor's note: According to Barry Craig, the senior
researcher at the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC),
this project took a bit longer than expected but will be
available in June 2006. The results will be published as a
research report with summary research highlights; both
available through the CMHC Library
Why would you feature a cover photo entitled "Durable
Exteriors: Preparing for the Weather's Onslaught" (Fall 2005)
in which laborers are installing the sidewall felt over the
window side and apron splines?
After countless articles in JLC and in Coastal
Contractor correctly elaborating the importance of the
fact that water runs downhill and should be directed out of the
wall plane at every opportunity, it is a shame you would
overlook such a glaring mistake. Otherwise, your publications
usually get it right.
Lee Dunn, Nantucket, Mass.
I enjoy your magazine and the various ideas and products
presented that are unique to us working on the coast. Being a
remodeler here at the Jersey Shore for 28 years, I'm hoping the
cover picture (Fall 2005) is one of those "can you find the
number of mistakes?" and that there is a prize involved.
Allan Tehune Sr., Beachwood, N.J.
Having been a subscriber to JLC since it was The New
England Builder, I have credited the publication with
helping me learn better techniques in construction. I see now
that Coastal Contractor is continuing this
The Fall 2005 issue with the article "Case Study: Ten Years
After" reinforced a lot of what has been learned and increased
our knowledge of how different materials hold up.
The latest issue (January/February 2006) will be the textbook
for a crew seminar. We are ordering additional copies for all
our crewmembers and will spend a couple of hours going over the
articles in a company technical education meeting. Your

products as well.
Keep up the great work (so we can do better work).

UNDATED (WKZO) -- We should be used to wacky weather by now. We have certainly seen enough of it in the last few years. There have been snowless winters, apple trees blossoming in March, and the temperature shift this week that will take us straight from the dog days of summer to the crisp bracing chill of fall in just a few days.
Forecasters are predicting another hot one today and then the cool down will begin, and may just last until next May.
Yesterday's record heat turned out to be bad news for the people of White Pigeon.
Indiana and Michigan Electric says they were required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by agreement to switch off power to White Pigeon for a half hour on Monday, and for 7 hours yesterday from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. to ease the load on the electrical grid.
Over one-thousand homes and businesses in the border town were purposely blacked out and left without air conditioning during the hottest part of the day.
And they say they may have to do it again today if too much energy is being used system-wide.
I & M is asking all of its customers to find some way to conserve so everyone can have electricity today.
They aren't saying why White Pigeon drew the short straw.

It looks like many automaker have used the 2013 Detroit Auto Show to preview their future design language, and Nissan is one of them. Their new Resonance Concept previews the "future direction of Nissan crossovers with smart, edgy design."
The exterior features a new V-Motion design language that includes the front grille, the hood and of course the new boomerang shaped headlights. What we really like about the new concept is that very cool Flare Orange exterior paint combined with the 22 aluminum-alloy wheels with Satin Chrome accents. The interior features a "VIP lounge" look and includes buttery leather and premium-stitched seats, an advanced instrument panel and a open glass roof.
The new Resonance is of course a hybrid vehicle: it combines a smaller displacement internal combustion gasoline engine with an electric motor
Updated 01/15/2013: This review has been updated with the full details, images and specs. Hit the jump to read more about the 2013 Nissan Resonance Concept.
When creating their new Resonance concept, Nissan took its inspiration from the futuristic allure of hypersonic travel. It combines "powerful surfaces with provocative lines" in an attempt to offer a very spacious impression.
The car's front has been designed with the new V-Motion design language in mind and includes new front grille, hood and the iconic boomerang shaped headlights. The concept also features a steeply raked A-pillars, large full-length glass panel and flowing D-pillar design that together provide the impression of a flowing structure.
The concept is painted in a very cool Flare Orange exterior paint combined with 22 aluminum-alloy wheels featuring Satin Chrome accents.
The interior has been specially designed for those whom are looking for a luxury feeling in a crossover model. As a result, the new Resonance concept has been equipped with buttery leather and premium-stitched seats and an advanced instrument panel that allows the driver to access all infotainment and communication features.
The entire interior features a very dramatic combination of illumination highlights the natural wood pattern and offers the impression of a very modern cabin. There is also an open glass roof that offer passengers a unique panoramic view of the exterior.
Hybrid powertrain
Under the hood of the new Resonance concept Nissan has placed an efficient hybrid electric drivetrain built around Nissan's proprietary "one-motor, two-clutch" system. This system combines a smaller displacement internal combustion gasoline engine with an electric motor.
The engine is mated to Nissan's next-generation Xtronic CVT transmission and send the power to all four wheels via an all-wheel drive system.
When can I drive one?
If you fall for the new Resonance concept we have a bad news for you: it won't be put into production; or at least this is what Nissan claims right now. It has only been designed to provide a glimpse on the future direction of Nissan crossovers with smart, edgy design. Its design language will inspire future generations of Rouge or Murano .
- We just love the exterior paint
- The interior looks very futuristic
- Hybrid technology
- No specifications
- Just a concept
Gallery Nissan Resonance Concept
With its boldly futuristic aerodynamic styling and fuel-efficient hybrid-electric powertrain, the Nissan Resonance concept proposes an all-new dynamic and edgy design that once again leads the trend for the crossover category. The global concept makes its world debut today at the 2013 North American International Auto Show.
Said Francois Bancon, Nissan Motor Co. division general manager, Product Strategy and Planning: "When the designers were first working on conceptualizing the Nissan Resonance, they were inspired by amazing scientific advancements in technology and material innovations. They also were inspired by the aspirations of those people who unabashedly embrace innovation and are optimistic about the future. It was about serving those people a concept vehicle that is forward-looking and fuses style with an athletic ride."
While seen as a concept of global relevance, Resonance was created by Nissan Design America, San Diego, CA, under the direction of Shiro Nakamura, senior vice president and chief creative officer of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.
An Energetic, Premium Exterior Design that Resonates
Light on its feet, the exterior design signals that Nissan Resonance is pushing the crossover segment forward.
The energetic surfaces show a counterpoint of dynamic fluidity and pure edginess. Nissan's designers worked to express an aerodynamic feel that was lightweight yet also protective, and drew inspiration from the futuristic allure of hypersonic travel.
The front exterior design shows the V-Motion, which starts from the front grille, moves through the hood and resonates with the iconic boomerang shaped headlights. The body is strengthened by powerful surfaces and provocative lines and is accented by the flow through the car to the kick-up shape around D-Pillar. These distinct details give the crossover a very advanced yet spacious impression.
The roof's unique "floating" design is created through the use of the thin, steeply raked A-pillars, large full-length glass panel and flowing D-pillar design. The effect created gives the impression of a flowing structure carried by the large windows and overall spaciousness of the cabin.
The body color, named Flare Orange, adds even more energy and warmth to the overall exterior design. Other exterior features include a tinted acrylic grille with Satin Chrome accents and 22-inch, full dynamic flow aluminum-alloy wheels.
Inside, a Futuristic VIP Lounge
With the interior, the designers imagined what the future of first-class space travel might be: Welcoming yet exclusive and high-tech yet premium. The resulting "VIP lounge," with its light, buttery leather and premium-stitched seats, exudes genuine sophistication.
Thoughtfully considered details, including sequential welcome lighting, add warmth and drama upon entering the vehicle. The dramatic interior illumination highlights the natural wood pattern in the modern cabin.
An advanced instrument panel floats on a generous console, creating a forum where the driver can access all infotainment and communication features. Technology is graphically layered to give a holographic experience and visual depth is used to separate information in order of importance.
The open glass roof gives passengers a unique panoramic view of the world and floating elements like the roof lining add to the sense of space and airy lightness. The spacious interior atmosphere is enhanced by the sculpted door panels and elegant, deep shape of the center console.
Said Bancon: "The Resonance interior reflects the enlightened modernity of today's crossover buyer, who values an amazing experience over traditional indulgence. The architecture of the cabin is open and structured. Like the exterior, it redefines and pushes the segment beyond convention."
Sustainably Dynamic Performance
Though Resonance is presented strictly as a design concept, its efficient hybrid electric drivetrain signals the desire by crossover drivers to be respectful of the environment without sacrificing driving pleasure. The all-wheel drive Resonance includes Nissan's proprietary "one-motor, two-clutch" system that combines a smaller displacement internal combustion gasoline engine with an electric motor/lithium-ion battery and advanced management system. Resonance also features Nissan's next-generation Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission).
An Other-Worldly Concept for Real-World Customers
The bold Resonance follows Nissan's longstanding leadership in crossover design, demonstrated by such cutting-edge vehicles as Murano, Qashqai and Juke, while pushing the boundaries of design into another dimension.
Concluded Bancon: "Resonance is meant to be provocative, energetic and engaging - even polarizing. Its edgy yet sophisticated design, combined with an environmentally sensitive powertrain and intelligent utility provides a clear, exciting view into the future of crossover innovation.
"This design is not meant to appeal to traditional two-box SUV shoppers, but rather to those whose fashion and design choices make a statement. For Nissan, this concept makes our statement about the future of this segment."

Tater Blackwell lives a pretty charmed life. Rescued as a puppy, the Australian cattle dog/blue heeler mix goes to work every day at Kennesaw State University's 25-acre farm, with his owner Michael Blackwell. Blackwell, KSU's lead farmer in the Farm to College program, says Tater is his best friend, "He goes everywhere I go, literally."
March 27th, Michael and Tater were visiting a friend's farm near Ballground, Georgia, when Tater saw a squirrel, at the foot of this leaning tree. The squirrel ran up the tree, with Tater right behind him. Blackwell says, about 25 feet up in the air, "The squirrel jumps off, (with) Tater right behind him. And there just happened to be a power pole, with a grounding rod in the soil, and he landed right on top of it, right dead and center of his chest."
Tater was impaled. The half-inch rod cut straight through his body. Blackwell knew if he pulled Tater off the rod, Tater might bleed to death. So, somehow, he pulled the rod, with Tater still attached, out of the ground. He and a friend rushed Tater to a local vet. Blackwell says the vet cut the rod, and called Georgia Veterinary Specialists' emergency clinic, telling them to stand by, Tater was on the way.
When the veterinary tech met them at their car, Blackwell says she said, "Oh, my God. I had no idea it was this bad!" Inside, GVS surgeon Alan Cross, says Tater was lying on a table with the rod running straight through him from his sternum to his back. His main concern was that the rod had pierced a major artery, which would be deadly. In the waiting room, Blackwell says the horror of the day hit him hard. He says, "Once he got in (the OR) and the adrenaline came down, I was inconsolable. I thought there was a really good chance I was going to lose him."
But, Tater is one lucky dog. The rebar pierced one of his lungs, but just missed his heart. The GVS team removed it with no complications. Blackwell says, "He became sort of a hero at the vet, they'd never seen anything like that."
Two days later, Tater went home to Jasper, and Blackwell's farm.
Dr. Cross says he's going to be just fine.
And Michael Blackwell is just grateful his best friend is still going strong.
We checked in with Michael Blackwell Monday afternoon. He says Tater is back on patrol at the KSU farm. He is on "light duty." Meaning no chasing squirrels – or anything else – for now.

Fun with Crayons
At GDC, Petri Purho, creator of Crayon Physics Deluxe, just delivered a funny, engaging post-mortem on his mega-popular puzzler. The Finnish developer gave shout-outs to 2D Boy's Kyle Gabler, who seemed to be trying to stay incognito in the packed room. In his 30-minute talke, he extolled the virtues of prototyping. One slide read "Prototyping = the foreplay of game development." Purho added, "I call it that because most guys want to skip it. It's worked out well for me, though."
Purho said prototypes really equal the finished game so prototyping helps deal with the gap between the original game idea and where you want to . It gets the crap out the process, he said
He went on to talk about the origins of Kloonigames as a project blog and told stories about other developers trying to surreptitiously sub-contract him to meet their own deadlines.
The award-winning designer offered up his secret to winning at the IGF–do a bunch of 7 day prototypes–and cited World of Goo, Audiosurf, and his own Crayon Physics Deluxe as examples that did just that. "You start judging ideas even before you start making them," said Purho and observed that prototyping also spawns new, awesome ideas that come out of iterations.
Bad stuff about prototyping, too. Doing it publicly leaves your ideas susceptible to poaching, saying that lots of Crayon Physics clones came out after the game's first YouTube trailer hit.
When talking about inspirations, he talked about Tim Brown's 2008 TED talk about the link between creativity and play. The basic premise posits that if you ask to see result of adults drawing, they're most often reticent. Ask a kid and they're proud. Purho wanted to create a game that would inspire child-like creativity where there's no shame about being judged. Purho said he wanted to place his game between the two extremes of sandbox mods like Gary's Mod and hardcore puzzle games like the Incredible Machine.
Crayon Physics Deluxe's not about finding the right solution to the game; it's about finding the creative one. He faced off against of problems of how to detect when players are being creative and how to reward it. It was a quandary until he realized that player are, in his words, lazy-ass bastards. It also led him to realize that the CPD design may have been too ambitious.
Purho went on to talk about playtesting, saying that every week he tried to get someone new to play the game.
I had to bolt before the Q&A but Purho's talk impressed me with its wit and the way it illustrated his desire to polish his own skills.

Becoming A Subject
Like many site owners, I make available an email address for you to contact me and, like many site owners, I often trace back referring sites for traffic. But finding out who is reading your site is something of a mixed blessing. Particularly when the contact is coming from academia.
Sometimes, I get emails from people who ask if it is OK to use my work. It is. As long as you give credit. Sometimes, it's a note from someone saying that a particular post was helpful to them in a given assignment. These kinds of notes lift my spirit. Two things sink my heart: requests for interviews and traffic from course sites.
I no longer agree to do interviews for students who wish to make me and my life part of their term papers. I don't answer questions any more, either. You can use my material -- I can't even track whether or not you cite me appropriately, but I will follow up if I find that you haven't -- but you are not getting more than anything that is here. No, not even if you are a PhD student and my life and work are somehow "critical" to your thesis. I'm done. And, yes, I'm slightly angry and resentful about how few of you do your homework, your preparation: reading about disability, disability arts and culture, the disability rights movement, dance, and disabled performers. I know these academic fields; I know what's out there; I know many of the people who've written it. Your lack of preparation does not make me feel inclined to trust myself to you -- no matter how ardent your appeal. NB: that's true for those of you who want to make documentaries, too.
Then, there's course sites. Every time I see a referral from Blackboard or some other educational course site, I go back and reread the post that has become part of someone else's lesson plan. I wonder what they are doing with it. What are people saying? How does the discussion go? Would I be horrified? Yes, probably. I think about how I would teach the post -- what I would combine it with, what points I would see as critical, how I would facilitate discussion. Risks I would take. Language and ideas that I would consider acceptable/offensive. What I would do about stuff that came up. I mull it over; hope for the best; close my eyes and try to forget.
Showing up in academia is different from finding that someone has linked to a post or two because the internet links only to your material. You can find out what someone thinks of your site; you can read the comments. Sometimes, too, you find personalized stuff about you (or your internet persona). But that is different. The internet is a sprawling mess of actions and reactions. Even when the post is locked, I am happy to find that my work has left my site and become part of a conversation somewhere.
By contrast, academia turns you (or your persona) into a project for study. It's a difference of purpose. A difference of focus. It's not quite a medicalization of a disabled body -- not all academic gazes are medical. But it does include that same kind of power dynamic. There's no way to know who is staring. And how. There's no way to know what meaning or what kind of value is being read into your life. You become something someone teaches and other people learn. You are nothing more than a topic, a passing reference in someone else's education.
And because the world of disability rights is still so new to academia, I fear that I and my blog often land in a hostile environment. Strange: what the Internet giveth, it also taketh away.

Kick arse blog! What an interesting way to look at the internet "a sprawling mess of actions and reactions". You have given me food for thought!ReplyDelete
Is it any different to you if someone finds your blog in a private capacity and includes your discussions in their evaluations than if a tutor/lecturer points their students in your direction?
I am neither, but I am a regular reader and you always make me think!
- Anonymous6:31 AM
Makes me think too both as a writer whose books are used in academia and as a disability studies teacher who uses the Web and blogs, particularly in my on-line teaching work. Is assigning my book (especially one or two chapters in PDF form) in class different than assigning a blog? As a writer, blogs always strike me as an odd hybrid form that has characteristics both of private journals and public magazines/books. It's one of the many reasons that I'm a reluctant and infrequent blogger.ReplyDelete
This is a really great reflection - and one that bites a bit since I a) cite one of your posts in my dissertation (though I wouldn't say "you" are a subject) and b) would theoretically link to your blog if I were teaching about certain things, though frankly I don't teach those things and probably never will. I'd like to think I would use specific posts, not the blog overall, though I don't know if that distinction makes a difference to you.ReplyDelete
In a general sense, though, blogging provides this massive trove of personal reflections on the world that then seem so easy to link in course readings... but I agree that chances are, they are not used as thoughtfully as they should in most cases. All of that said, I am wondering the difference between citing your blog or adding you to Blackboard/etc vs. if you had written in some printed form (like I'm thinking of Simi Linton or Nancy Mairs' reflections on the daily/personal experience of disability, which are core readings in disability studies). Would it seem more expected to become a "subject" in those formats?
as for grad students who approach you and don't know their stuff, that's just plain embarrassing (though not hugely surprising). Sadly, blogging probably welcomes more surface-level contact whereas conventional publishing might still keep an aura of scholarly remove. Or I could be too optimistic about today's grad students...
Thank you all of you.ReplyDelete
I am proud to think that the material of a post can go towards a project. It's the transfer of ideas. What I hate -- and thank you for helping me get a better grip on this -- is the wholesale dumping of my persona and personhood. Look! A disabled woman. Or attempts to write about me as a dancer rather than dance.
Yeah, that's it.
I have had this experience too, as a transgender person. I too finally made the decision that I would no longer agree to be interviewed for academic projects. It's just not clear to me that my agreeing to do this is actually helpful to transgender activism in any way; the information that people want to get about transgender people and our experiences in the world is already out there, and if people are really serious about using their schooling experience to bring about change for transgender people or people with disabilities (or any underprivileged group, really) they need to do more action-taking and less insulated academic pontification which only serves to repeat the inquiry that has already been done about our needs!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10:20 AM
I just read your post, and am intrigued and challenged as always. I am a college professor, and do assign blogs, link to them, cite them in lecture, discuss them in class. (Not yours yet, although it would be relevant at times.) I'll also invite guest speakers to share their perspectives, or invite students who have had particular experiences share them with the class. I've gotten really good feedback from students when I do that.ReplyDelete
So as a teacher, I'm stuck. I recognize how demeaning it is (and pedagogically unsound0) to treat one person--or worse, one blog post--as representing a broad spectrum of views and/or experiences. But at the same time, if we expect students to go beyond memorizing abstract definitions for the test, they need to connect these abstract ideas with real people and real-life situations. And blogs are great for that.
I'm really trying to think of how to do that without demeaning people as individuals, treating them as only only one aspect of themselves, or treating their experience as representative of a broad group.
(If it makes a difference, I don't teach on disability, at least not specifically. So insights from blogs I use are generally about race, gender, or sexuality.)
I'll be keeping this in mind, but I'm not sure I'll stop linking to relevant blog posts in my classes. Hmmm.....????
- Anonymous11:11 PM
Just stumbled across your blog and have really enjoyed it; it's given me a lot to think about it, and I think it's amazing that you've chosen to share your experiences. And I agree that it can be very dehumanizing/robbing of personhood to have someone cite you or your experience as an example in academia or as a link for a class. However, isn't the whole premise of a blog to share experience with the masses (as opposed to a private journal or limited/directed publication)? Once a blog post is published, it becomes, in my view, fair game for public consumption. It's obviously very disappointing and insulting to have grad students who haven't done their homework. For general interviewers, less well-versed in the academic development in these fields, this could be an instance of ignorance, not intent to deny personhood. Granted, ignorance is never an acceptable excuse. I've encountered similar attitudes with queer/trans issues. I attend a small liberal arts school supposedly renowned for its acceptance of all genders and sexualities, yet the general student body remains woefully ignorant of appropriate and sensitive (and pretty basic) terminology, theory, and diversity of experience. However, I have found most students are willing to listen and learn, and were not acting with intent to offend.ReplyDelete
Also, the grad students conducting research form a part of the community that formulates the constantly evolving scholarship on disability, disability arts and culture, the disability rights movement, etc. As mentioned before, it's disheartening when these supposedly informed students act in insensitive and disempowering ways; still, they are important.

Avon Skin So Soft is one of those products that continue to be an all-time favorite and tradition for many Avon fans. I had never used Skin So Soft lotion, but I had heard good things about it and knew eventually I had to try it if I wanted to be a good Avon Representative. I had to find out what the hype was and if it really made my "Skin So Soft".
I ordered my 1st Skin So Soft body lotion about 2 years ago when I first became an Avon Representative. They had a bonus size bottle of the Skin So Soft – Soft & Sensual Replenishing Body Lotion on sale for only $5.99 at the time and it was an offer I couldn't refuse. At 33oz, the bonus sized was 3x the size of the regular bottle so it was a perfect time to try it.
When my order came the first thing I noticed was how big the bottle was, which made me really happy knowing I got a great deal for what I paid. Here is the description of the lotion that was on the back of the bonus sized Skin So Soft bottle:
Taken directly from the Skin So Soft label…
"Replenishing Body Lotion transforms skin with lasting sensual softness. This luxurious lotion instantly hydrates every inch of you, leaving skin feeling softer and smoother. At the same time, it's time release formula targets dry areas to deliver moisture when and where you need it most, leaving skin looking sensually soft and irresistible to touch. Easily absorbed, never feels greasy."
Wow! Those are some big promises on that Avon Skin So Soft bottle! But you know what? Avon really delivered. I used the lotion in the evening before I went to bed and I have to say I was very impressed.
First the Avon Skin So Soft "Soft & Sensual" scent is very pleasant, it has a nice fresh floral fragrance.
The lotion is not thick yet it goes on smooth and spreads nicely and it does absorb easily. It's perfect for the summer when you want a moisturizer that's light and not sticky or greasy. I prefer using this lotion for the spring & summer rather than year round just because my skin gets extremely dry in the winter. I use Avon's Moisture Therapy Intensive Treatment Body Lotion for the winter months because it's very thick, but that's a different review!
So did the lotion make my "skin so soft"? Yes, it really did! The next morning my arms & legs felt very soft and hydrated! I really like this lotion!
Avon Skin So Soft body lotion has become a part of my own bath & body regimen and now I've become a fan of the Skin So Soft products by Avon too.
There is a whole line of different Avon Skin So Soft products, among them are:
Avon Skin So Soft Body lotions
Avon Skin So Soft Anti-Perspirants
Avon Skin So Soft Hair Removal
Year after year all have proven to be great in quality, economical, and an Avon tradition. If you haven't tried any of the Avon Skin So Soft products I highly recommend them. To view the Avon Skin So Soft product line click on the above links to view current sales and to order from my Avon Representative website.

In part 1 of this post we discussed some of the advantages of paperless office services as well as the fact that there are two major approaches that a company can take when adopting paperless office services and these are taking the big plunge and dipping in a toe.
Taking the Big Plunge: The big plunge can be a relatively intimidating approach. This approach requires a big budget, resources and time. Implementing the paperless office all at once requires: lots of consultation and preparation with employees. It requires a strong, visible mandate from senior management. It requires a certifiable, formal process of employee training. It requires detailed documentation of the re-engineering processes. It will affect every corner of an organization. It most likely will be relatively expensive, require consultants and compress a lot of activity into a time frame that is rarely met. This project is all or nothing and resources will be consumed and money will be spent until implementation is complete.
Dipping in a Toe: Starting a paper-free office at the departmental level is a practical and low risk approach. Commonly it is the departments themselves that recognize their problem and are looking for a solution. The risk and cost of a departmental paperless office services is not too high and if it never expands beyond the specific department it can be easily justified. If this department succeeds the solution can be expanded to include other departments. New departments implementing a paperless office can learn from the test departments successes and errors. Taking the dip in a toe approach allows your company to gradually shift to a paperless office and allows a company to become comfortable with the process without being fully entrenched.
Every business want to find a way to reduce paper usage, encourage keeping and sharing their documents in compliance. Document management software has broken the paradigm of the paperless office services being expensive, complicated and hard to use. With a relatively small investment and in a short amount of time a departmental solution can be running and setting a model for the rest of your organization.

Lavasoft FAQ pages
Can I install Lavasoft Personal Firewall on a server?
Yes, Lavasoft Personal Firewall can be installed on a server, but we do not recommend it. Lavasoft Personal Firewall is designed specifically to run on user workstations connected to a LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet.
Lavasoft Personal Firewall does not provide several important functions that a server firewall must provide and all of its presets are applicable to workstations. A server firewall needs very different application traffic filtering settings, so if you install Lavasoft Personal Firewall on a server with the default settings, much of the useful traffic to and/or from your server will be blocked by default. In addition, a server firewall needs to be able to create rules based on different network adapters being used by the various workstations connected to the server. Moreover, some plug-ins do not affect transit traffic through a server.
You can install Lavasoft Personal Firewall on a server so it provides some firewall functions, but - for performance optimization - you must perform the following steps.
* Disable Host Protection to prevent popup prompts for user reaction every time an application component or critical system object is changed and an application performs some system activity (click Settings ? Host Protection and clear the Enable Host Protection check box).
* Disable Blocking private data transfer on the ID Block page.
* Switch off the Rules Wizard mode and select either Allow Most or Block Most.
* Disable logging (clear the Log debugging information check box on the Logs page).

The University offers employees many types of insurance. All of these plans will be described to you via Benefits Enrollment, where you will receive enrollment and informational materials.
Enrollment in health insurance, life insurance and long-term disability insurance must be completed by the eligible employee within the first 31 days of employment. Eligible employees who wish to enroll in health insurance after their first 31 days of employment will be able to do so during the next open enrollment period. Under certain circumstances, eligible employees may be able to enroll in health insurance at other times under provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Eligible employees who wish to enroll in optional life insurance and/or in long-term disability insurance after their first 31 days of employment will need to apply for such coverage. Approval for enrollment will be subject to medical underwriting and the eligibility requirements of the applicable insurance carrier. In this case, coverage is not guaranteed, and the carrier retains the right to approve or decline the application.
Payroll deduction is used for most employee contributions for insurance. Insurance deductions are taken every pay period in defined amounts and are not prorated. Typically, health insurance rates increase from year to year. Other insurance rates may also increase.
Regular employees may enroll in the University's health insurance program, which includes a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) health plan and prescription drug, dental and vision plans. Employees are given details of the coverage via Benefits Enrollment.
Under provisions of the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), employees, retirees and their dependents may apply to continue enrollment in University group health insurance if they lose eligibility for coverage. Following are such COBRA-qualifying events:
The maximum period of continuation depends upon the qualifying event. During the extension period, the insured is required to pay the full cost of the insurance plus an administration fee. Questions about COBRA should be directed to Human Resources.
The University provides employees a certain amount of group term life insurance for non-bargaining employees, for which the University pays the entire cost. Additional optional life insurance is also available, as detailed in the coverage sections below.
The University offers you the opportunity to enroll in a long-term disability insurance plan. This plan pays qualified disabled employees 66-2/3 percent of their base salary in the event they become disabled while coverage is in effect. Benefits are payable on the later of (a) the 31st day of disability or (b) the first day after exhaustion of all accrued sick leave. The premium for coverage is determined by a multiple of annual pay, and the University contributes a portion of the premium on employees' behalf. Enrolled employees pay the remaining portion of the premium through payroll deduction.
Any time employees travel on University-authorized business, they are automatically covered with accidental death and dismemberment insurance. This insurance provides coverage for loss of life or limbs, but does not cover property damage. There is no charge to employees for this coverage, and employees do not have to enroll to have this coverage.
