Gary Ham's Wooper Looper Gets Even Cuter
So everyone probably knows by now that I'm in love with Gary Ham's Wooper Looper, and not just because it looks like my favorite Pokemon. We've actually already gotten a plush version, but now it's an even cuter one (if you can believe it)–a squished collaboration with Flat Bonnie.

Why the Enthusiasm?
- Tuesday, February 18, 2003
"Who would like to do the first problem, addition?"
No one raised their hand. She called on Tommy, and with some help he finally got it right.
"Who would like to do the second problem, subtraction?"
Students hid their faces. She called on Mark, who got the problem but there was some suspicion his girlfriend Lisa whispered it to him.
"Who would like to do the third problem, division?"
Now a low collective groan could be heard as everyone looked at nothing in particular. The teacher called on Suzy, who got it right
"Who would like to do the last problem, multiplication?"
Johnny's hand enthusiastically shot up. It surprised everyone in the room because he had previously been avoiding participation. The teachers finally gained her composure in the stunned silence.
"Why the enthusiasm, Johnny?"
He said, "The Bible says to go forth and multiply!"

My dream Triumph would be this engine and shaft drive in a light weight frame, a short wheelbase, quality suspension and a bikini fairing. We need to build a naked Bandit type of bike that the Japs hav'nt got the balls to build. An over powered lightweight do it all monster !!
PS Where's the spell heck on this site ?

Pardon the pun above :)
I really think this new 1200 Explorer is going to be brilliant and well received by the public. Yes, its a little heavier than the GS ( 30 kgs is a lot? ). However, the honda crosstourer also weighs 275 kgs ! That aint "light" either is it, but seems to be well able to hustle.
Anyway. the price & extras will make is desirable but the weight i can see is going to be the only factor that may be a real gripe. But weight may not affect sales if its as good as Mr Potter says.
If triumph have pulled it off ( which they may have ) the 30kgs will not make a difference. If you look at any of the newer hondas ( fireblade, xtourer etc) the weight will be well disguised and wont come into it, will it (?).
Triumph have played it cool with the press releases / teasers (didnt go overboard). I am sure this bike will stand up for itself.
The mainland europeans are gonna love this bike.
Cant wait to ride one !!

Boy is that one ugly specimen.......but the bike is a beauty.
Beating the GS is a big ask of any manufacturer.
The explorer has +30kg +1 extra cylinder + 1 extra injector over the BMW ,these three factors will mean much higher fuel consumption which = less range a big deal on a touring bike.
The extra weight will only really show up when the bike is fully loaded,the extra fuel consumption will be there from the off, these factors will either make or break the bike.But it is a Triumph so it will not be a flop.

I never understood from the off about these latest so called Adventure bikes and the fact they are so heavy.Have the manufactures missed a point,are these really supposed to go oiff-road?.I have no experiance with off-road riding but i gess these will cope with a smooth dirt track and no more.
I do like the Explorer and would buy it as a comfortable Tourer and if the 800 is anything to go by this will be a cracker

I suppose you have to put these sort of bikes into some sort of category and 'adventure' seems to suit them. But you can have an adventure on any sort of bike really, look at Nick Sanders who used to do his round-the-world trips on an R1 through all sorts of terrain. One thing I'm sure of is that the Triumph will be more reliable and better finished, and I do know lots of people who have had BMWs, so I'm not just trying to be insulting, just honest. I've had my Sprint ST1050 for nearly 5 years and my wife has had a Bonneville for the same amount of time and neither of us has had a single problem in all that time. And yes, we do ride them, they have been on the continent every year. I still prefer the 800 Tiger though and thats my next bike this year.

Looks like a nice bike. Most people who buy this type of bike would never dream of taking them off road, so weight is not such an issue. They like the idea of sitting up, protected from the wind blast on a bike that is not a "boring touring bike". It fits a large section of the market. The Triumph looks as good as most of the others out there. I had a ride on the Kawasaki Versus 1000 and would say it would be hard to beat in this class, if you would only ride on the road. The big plus for the Kawasaki is the price. You'll have around £1,500 in your pocket to fund your first tour if you bought it over the Triumph. It is now a very competitive market and I'm sure if you bought the Triumph you'd not be disappointed.

I bought this particular wallet based on the listed size Dimensions: 9.27 x 4.62 x 0.69 but it is actually 7.75 x 4 x 0.75 inches so I am disappointed. I still think the quality is good but now I have to buy something else...
I love that my credit cards are secure and that the wallet fits into any size purse.
I like the two sides for credit cards. I like the two more sides for cash and in the middle a zipper compartment for change. It fits so much. I like it very much.
I needed an RFID blocking wallet after having our credit card numbers stolen a few months ago. The only downside for me is that it's rather long and a tight fit in some of my smaller purses. For the price, it's a good buy.
I like the idea of an electronically tamper proof wallet and this is the best one I have found. The metal ones are just odd. It looks just like the photos. Pretty plain but you get what you see. May be a tad overpriced.
this wallet is on the slim side and can fit in a smaller purse. it holds all of my cash and cards.

Students completing the AAS in Aviation will have credentials required to pursue a career as a professional pilot. Job opportunities range from high-profile occupations as pilots for a national carrier to less well-known, but in-demand work as pilots for cargo services, air taxis, media aircraft, corporate jets, or spacecraft. Students who combine the AAS with a Bachelor's degree in a related field will be especially competitive in the entry level job market.
Completion of the AAS in Aviation requires that students contract with a flight school recommended by the Aviation Science Advisory Council to complete flight training requirements leading to a Private Pilot license, Commercial Pilot license, and Instrument license.
Upon submission of these licenses the students will receive credit for the following courses:
Students may choose to take flight training at any point during their course of study. They may also enter the program having already completed flight training.
Students who have not completed flight training are strongly encouraged to follow a sequence of courses outlined by the Aviation Program Advisor.
The Interior Design program has been developed to prepare students with a wide variety of skills and competencies for entry into various areas of the design field, ranging from residential to commercial design.

Faith & Mike's Master Bathroom:
The Glass Shower Panel & Other Details
Renovation Diary
Type of Project: Master Bathroom Creation
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Type of building: 1920s, multi-level, single family home
The Renovation Diaries are a new collaboration with our community in which we feature your step by step renovation progress and provide monetary support towards getting it done in style. See all of our Reno Diaries here.
I'm putting off the big reveal of our new bathroom for one more week but I wanted to talk about a few of the final details, especially the glass shower panel. So I'm going to play coy with the photos — don't worry, though; I'll give you the full scoop next week!
Renovation is a funny game of stop-and-start. Like I said earlier, our DIY demo process dragged out for months: it felt like the house just kept getting dirtier and more decrepit. And then, suddenly, it was time for framing and drywall, and BOOM so many good things happened all at once! In a matter of weeks we had an addition on the house, and our new master bathroom was framed, drywalled, and tiled.
But then came the long slow drag on the other side of all that excitement. We had to wait to get our shower glass and mirror installed. We put on our cabinet hardware ourselves, and we took a week or so to get around to that. The electrician had to come in and finish off the outlets and the lights.
Here's a look at some of those final details of the bathroom, the things that turn it into the space that feels like what you've been imagining all along.
Cabinet Hardware
The cabinets are kitchen cabinets from IKEA, with their ABSTRAKT high gloss white fronts. But I didn't particularly like IKEA's hardware in the bathroom, so we ordered these pulls:
- Epco Architectural 2-1/2" Cabinet Pull - $5.88 at the Hardware Hut
- Small Wood/Metal Knob - $8.25 at Doug Mockett
We had planned to paint the entire house ourselves (I know, I know) to save money. But after priming the new drywall in the kitchen, my husband and I looked at each other, counted up the hours we had until move-in, and realized there was literally not enough time, given everything else we had to do — even if we'd had the stamina to paint every room and ceiling. Which we most definitely did not.
It was one of those classic end-of-project budget hits, but paying $3000 to have our entire house painted by professionals was one of the best decisions we made. (It did mean, though, that the outside of our house still hasn't been repainted, which it sorely needs...)
The painter and the contractor were falling over each other a little bit, working on last details. I learned that painters really, really don't like being in a house with other workers — they like to be able to move fast and not find a spot of drywall they painted resanded an hour later (oops). The logistical challenges were due to a hard deadline for our move-in, but it all worked out OK.
I also learned that painting fresh drywall is a whole different proposition than repainting a room. It takes longer, especially since the ceilings also need to be primed and painted, and there many small finishing details, like fixing small construction imperfections in the drywall, that a good painter should take care of. In fact, I wish in hindsight that we would have allotted more time to painting; it would have been less stressful.
It's also one of the biggest pieces of advice I give to people who are renovating — don't underestimate painting, and hire someone really good. It's the final finish, and it's so important to get it right.
Final Electric & Lighting
We had two can lights installed in the ceiling, and after the painters finished the electricians finished off the trim for the lights. One of the two can lights is actually a "can-fan" with a hidden fan above the light.
The electrician also finished installing the thermostat for the floor heat, and the electrical outlets. We put one outlet on one side of the sink, and I wish now we would have put one on the other, too. But we did put an outlet behind the cabinet on one side so I can leave my hair dryer plugged in and inside the drawer.
Shower and Faucet Trim
After our contractor finished installing the tile, the plumber came back and installed the trim for the shower and faucet. I wasn't aware, until we did all this, that showers and faucets are separated into the inner components (valves) and outer components (trim — which consists of the visible things like handles, spouts, showerheads, etc.). It's obvious when you think about it, but I didn't realize it until I started shopping and realized that I needed to buy two separate sets of parts.
In the end, the plumber bought the valves for us, just to make sure everything worked right. This cost a little extra, but it came with an extra guarantee of replacement from the plumber as well as the manufacturer if anything went wrong. But I picked out and bought the trim myself.
Shower Glass & Vanity Mirror
Last but not least: the shower glass. We opted for an open shower with a sheet of glass instead of a door. I loved the clean, open look. The glass was installed a couple weeks after we moved in. We were using the shower without any glass for a little while, which was fine (we mopped up any excess water outside the shower).
We went back and forth about how tall the glass should be. I had it in my head that it should go all the way to the ceiling; I worried that a break would make it look less clean. But our contractor argued that it's better for the bathroom overall to have space for steam to escape at the top, over the glass. Also, shorter glass is obviously cheaper. In the end that's what we went with, and it looks great.
There was one thing, though, with the shower glass that dismayed me at first. When the glass was installed, it looked so green. Call me clueless, but I didn't realize how green glass of this thickness would be. My Pinterest board was full of showers with crystal-clear glass, and I was disappointed and surprised to see how green our sheet of glass was. Our tiles are gray, leaning towards blue, and I didn't like, at first, how the glass and tile looked together.
I did some research, after the glass was installed, and found that to get perfectly clear glass, you need to buy low-iron glass, usually sold under the brand name Starphire. This glass is usually substantially more expensive than regular glass — up to 50% more.
Today, I'm reconciled to our glass wall; it looks much less green than I initially thought, especially in good light. But if I could do it again, I would at least price out Starphire.
For the mirror, we were going to reuse an old mirror in the house, but it was a little smaller and so we got a quote on a new mirror. It was surprisingly inexpensive — a new mirror, 6 feet wide by 4 feet tall, including installation, was about $120. I'm glad we opted for a custom mirror.
Next week — big reveal! I better go clean my bathroom...
Check out the full series (so far) and be sure to join us next week for the big reveal of Faith and Mike's finished bathroom.

Renovation Diary: Faith & Mike's Master Bathroom

A glass panel braced on only two sides? Anyone want to take my bet that it breaks in a year? Did the contractor at least install clear tempered glass?
First tip: hire a designer or architect who would have specified the right type of glass for you. They might have even been able to get you a deal.
Second tip: the designer or architect would have detailed the glass to not break
Third tip: I've designed glass shower panels and without a door they will make a mess unless you have a large shower area. A good way to determine how far the spray travels is to stand under the shower before the glass is installed - and then install that single piece of glass without a door just beyond that spray.
Good luck! You'll need it.
How snotty you are! :) Some responses: Yes, I was irritated that neither my architect or contractor thought to ask us about Starphire. My contractor had never heard of it or installed it - remember we don't live in a high-end, luxury-focused market, and according to the glass company it's not a frequent request here at all. But yes, it was a learning moment.
Secondly, why in the world would you think the glass would break? This is a standard glass enclosure installation and we're not playing football in there.
Last but not least, yes, we checked the spray length before installation.
We're taking estimates on our glass shower door and one of the installers showed me small samples of the standard vs. Starphire glass. My husband wasn't there so we've been discussing which to go with and now I'm certain Starphire is worth the additional cost. I'm sorry you weren't given clear guidance on the difference before you made your decision, but you've certainly helped us with our renovation!
@rachbethnyc great! That's the goal. Out of curiosity, can you say what the price difference is?
I'm also quite curious of the general costs of the two glass options. We have a complete master bath reno in our future and I absolutely LOVE the clean look of the glass instead of a door!
Bravo! Looks awesome Faith & Mike! :)
I tend to like the idea of a little bit 'o green to the glass IF you were to know about it ahead of time and be able to incorporate that as part of your color scheme. For example, you might have chosen tiles with less blue in them or otherwise incorporated green-friendly colors into the design. Worst case scenario, maybe you can upgrade in a few years and sell the existing pane?
I can't say for certain without seeing the whole room (*tapping my foot impatiently as I wait until next week...*), but I get the feeling the space turned out spectacularly.
your comments are so snarky. Have a little faith that other people have brains too. She's sharing this information to help other people, not to invite your criticism. Do you talk to your clients this way too?
@Faith, all it takes is someone wiping their eyes with a towel and bumping into that unbraced corner to shatter the whole thing.
Is it laminated or clear tempered glass? This will help in the advent that you do run into the panel.
The question isn't "Why would you think the glass would break?"
The question is "How would a designer or architect detail the glass not to break?"
"God" is just trying to feel better about himself by trying to make you feel worse. In other words, God is a troll.
Oh, it's looking great, can't wait to see the reveal! I wasn't aware of the different glass types, but I actually like the greenish color, so it's good to know that's cheaper. As someone else in the early stages of planning a total bathroom reno (including an open shower like this) I'm hoping you'll share the nitty gritty details like the dimensions of the shower and other spaces in the bathroom. Thanks!
@tinyhands, I gave the answer on "How would a designer or architect detail the glass not to break" if you spent any time reading my tips. It should be braced on more than two sides. You could get away with bracing glass on the top and bottom if you wanted to limit the bracing. I'd love to get into the structural qualities of glass but you probably wouldn't read it. But basically, glass is stronger in tension than in compression and this application puts the glass in a position that undermines it's structural integrity.
But that's cool. Keep calling people trolls if that makes you feel better about yourself.
But if you do want to know about the structural qualities of glass, this is a good starter:
good lord!
My parents have a similar glass door in their shower. I also work in construction. I'd assume the glass would be tempered, dictated by the use of the glass. Also - there are MANY applications where the glass is not fully braced on more than two or three sides.
It's so kind of you "God" to assume people don't know what they are doing. Maybe give them some credit?
Now aesthetically, most of the green you see in the glass is along the edge. I recommend covering that edge with a small stainless steel channel or a piece of colored glass or plexiglass - once either of those two items are applied no one will notice you have green glass.
That's a good point! Thanks!
@emilyryz, there are many applications? Now we aren't talking about structural glazing here. Point me to one of these applications where it is only braced at the floor and at the side.
Way to stay above the fray Faith! I can't stand "experts" who feel the need to ridicule everyone on comment board. I'm sure "God" will tear my comment to shreds now.
Well, I genuinely like to know if there are things we should have thought of - so I like to hear everyone's opinions! But there are points in a renovation, in my experience at least, where you just trust the contractor and the vendor and go with it. I've seen lots of glass held by two-sided channels, both online and in person, and we didn't even think twice about that, after we settled the design question. As you'll see in the final reveal, the glass is held on two sides by channels filled with silicone.
I also feel even better about the glass given that there isn't a door swinging open and shut on one side. There's nothing bumping up against it - no motion. All that glass really needs to do is stand there (and be washed, this weekend :).
I have had an open shower with a glass panel like you have with only two sides secured and for at least 15 years or more. Never broke, never bumped into it - absolutely no problems! It is tempered glass, never thought about whether the edges were green or not! Have to go check!
Examples god...my parents bathroom has the same set up. No problem. Use a bathroom in Europe (private residence or hotel). Same set up. Glass affixed to the wall and to the tub. It works if you have the proper glass and install. I've lived with it.
And if you want some advice folks don't like your comments not because of your thoughts/ideas, but the way you state them. You always present them like you know better. You might be right, but no one can see past your arrogance.
PS. My two cents: the green edge looks Okay. A channel or something hiding it looks forced. Most people haven't seen the fancy tempered glass that's almost clear on the edge and almost expect the green. I'd say almost everyone will ignore it, but if you cover it they'll notice it.
Hi there,
I will be remodeling my bathroom soon and I was thinking of doing something similar with the bath tub. How wide does the glass need to be for a shower ? Do you have a 6 foot bathtub or a regular sized one ?
Thanks :)
I think it looks great! The slightly green cast is normal/standard and actually reads as somewhat neutral in my opinion. I think it might only bother you because it wasn't what you expected, not that it actually looks "wrong". I can't wait to see the final reveal -- so far it looks fantastic!
Very spiffy. Nicely done indeed! Would be nice to see a wider photo, anybody in your home own a very wide angle lens? I want to see that whole gorgeous shower enclosure.
@medusa12120 yep tune in later this week for the full reveal! This week's photos were purposefully coy. :)
The Starphire is adding about 15-20% to the cost our doors, for a 60 inch width and I believe 74 inch height.
We're also considering a recommended coating that causes the water bead and apparently helps keep the doors cleaner. Any thoughts on that?
My BF's Dad has a glass shower enclosure and he makes a habit out of using a squeegee on it every time he takes a shower. Not the most pleasant activity after a shower, but it helps a lot. Also, installing a water softener would keep hard water mineral deposits away as would cleaning once a month with a descaling shower spray. The former obviously much more expensive than the latter.
Hi Faith,
I love the way your curbless shower with the glass panel looks, and am considering a similar set up for my small master ensuite. 1 year in, how is the curbless + doorless shower set-up working for you?
How big is your shower? And what dimensions is your glass panel? How do you determine how far the glass panel needs to extend and did your general contractor install it? Did you have to do anything to the rest of your bathroom floor before you tiled it?

In vain they rage, in vain they boast,
Their courage sinks, their weapons fail.
Down to the earth was Satan thrown,
Down to the earth his legions fell;
Then was the trump of triumph blown,
And shook the dreadful deeps of hell.
Now is the hour of darkness past,
Christ has assum'd his reigning power;
Behold the great accuser cast
Down from the skies to rise no more.
'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb,
Thine armies trod the tempter down;
'Twas by thy word and powerful name
They gain'd the battle and renown.
Rejoice, ye heav'ns; let every star
Shine with new glories round the sky;
Saints, while ye sing the heav'nly war,
Raise your Deliv'rer's name on high.

Combining two or more antipsychotics is generally frowned
upon, since the utility of this approach is not clear. However,
an atypical antipsychotic can sometimes be augmented by a standard
antipsychotic drug. The most common example is the combination of
clozapine, which has limited D2 antagonism,
and haloperidol or perphenazine. Although few data are available
on the efficacy of this approach, some patients appear to benefit. Risperidone
combined with a standard antipsychotic resulted in a modest but
significant improvement in some patients with chronic schizophrenia studied
prospectively (Takahashi et al. 1999). The combination
of other atypical antipsychotics and standard antipsychotics may
also be warranted if the maximum dosage of the atypical agent has
been achieved with less than satisfactory benefit. We tend to prefer
the addition of high-potency agents, because the weight gain, hypotensive,
and sedation problems associated with the atypical antipsychotics
complicate the addition of low-potency agents. Since risperidone
is such a potent D2 antagonist by itself,
we push the dosage of risperidone as tolerated by the patient up
to 12 mg/day rather than add a standard antipsychotic to

Pat Parkinson "Foreign correspondent" Wednesday, April 30, 1997 www.weber.edusignpost Volume 59 Number 77 See opinion page 4 See, hear, taste Native American culture this week By Rebecca Wangsgard senior news reporter-Signpost You may have noticed Weber State University's campus has looked more festive and has had delicious smells wafting through the air this week. This variety of displays, food and speakers is part of Native American Emphasis Week. Raymond Gonzalas. executive vice president of the WSU Native American Council and chairman of the Pow Wow and proposal committees, feels this week is important to WSU's campus. "It's being put on to promote Native American awareness and also awareness of Native American students on campus," Gonzalas said. WSU currently has 125 Native American students from at least 28 different tribes attending school. .This is the 26th year WSU has had such a week devoted to Native American awareness. However, this year's theme, "A Year of Many Firsts," is significant. According to Marcus Mose, cultural vice president for the WSU Native American Council, the theme was chosen to represent the many new things that are going on this year. "It's just kind of like we're starting over," Mose said. "Like we're doing a lot of different events, and the way we are handling events is a lot different than we did before." An example of this new beginning is that the 26th annual Sesquicenten-nial Pow Wow will be held outside for the first time. Organizers are hoping to add to the atmosphere of the Pow Wow by having it outside. It will be held May 2 at 7 p.m. and May 3 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on the practice field across from Promontory Tower. The cost of the event will range from $l-$3. More speakers have also been added to this year's agenda. Along with cultural presentations being offered by WSU faculty April 28-30 and May 2 at 10:30 a.m. in the Shepherd Union Building. There will also be a convocation presented by Patricia Locke, May 1 at 10:30 a.m. in the Shepherd Union Ballroom.

Conference offers solutions to problems faced by families By Brian Frasier news writer-Signpost Becoming educated means more than just studying traditional subjects like math, English and science. Weber State University is taking a different approach to education by offering the 16th annual Families Alive Conference. The conference offers urgent solutions for the problems now facing Utah families. This year the conference will focus on the theme "A Call to Action: Overcoming Barriers to Creating a Better World For Our Children." "It is our hope this conference will provide insights and ideas for professionals, students, parents and the public," Jim Bird, chairman of the child and family studies department, said. The department is co-sponsoring the event with KSL-TV and KSL-1160. The conference is geared toward making this a better world for our children," Bird said. Poet and author Maya Angelou is the conference's keynote speaker and will also offer a free presentation for the public May 8 at 7 p.m. in the Dee Events Center. "Dr. Angelou will deliver the message that, instead of reacting to abuse, we need to act to ensure care and gather compassion to enhance the quality of life for children," Bird said. Bird anticipates more than 300 people will attend the conference, however, Angelou's May 8 public lecture will accommodate nearly 12,000. The conference is open to health professionals, educators, social workers, law enforcement agencies, students and parents. See Families page 3 Transfer students with variety of hometowns oome to WSU By Rebecca Wangsgard news wrher-Signpost The reasons students transfer to Weber State University are as varied as the places from which they come. About one third of WSU's transfer students come from schools outside Utah, according to the statistics compiled by Brian Shuppy, WSU institutional researcher. The other two-thirds of the transfer students come from schools inside Utah. "One of the reasons why I decided to transfer from the University of Utah is because someone told me you're not just a number at We ber," Lisa Thomas, a WSU student, said. The highest percentage of transfer students come from Utah State University, with the University of Utah being the third highest transfer school. Salt Lake Community College comes in second out of the eleven colleges and universities in Utah. Some students have had different experiences than Thomas after transferring to WSU. "I couldn't get in to talk to any counselors in my major to help me get into the classes that I needed," Heather Watson, a transfer student from Dixie College who has since transferred See Transfer page 1 0 inside post editorial see page 4 features see page 6 SpOrtS see page 8 the Other Side see page 12 classifieds .... see page 1 1

Ugh, here we go again: It appears grandparents do not approve of the job parents are doing these days. In a survey of 100 grandparents on the website Grannynet (really, only 100 respondents?), today's kids are rude and our lazy parenting is to blame. Well I never! In my day ...
Children are not asking to be excused before leaving the table. They're putting their elbows on the table. Half of the time they're not even eating at a table at all! No one writes thank-you notes anymore. Things were SO different when you were young, right Grandma?
If you ask this group of grandparents, YES, yes they were. According to their recollection, 92 percent of those grandparents ate dinner around the table with their families; 89 percent of them asked to leave the table before leaving; 86 percent of these elderly were writing thank-you notes; and 86 percent said "excuse me" before interrupting.
Okay. There's no question that our idea of what's polite has changed over the years. I don't think anyone gets that bent out of shape over leaving elbows on the table. But what's at the core of polite behavior? Making other people feel valued and respected. And I think this is still a value for parents today. We just show it differently.
Maybe kids aren't always writing thank-you notes, but they're thanking people via phone call, text message, or email. From what I can tell, parents are still teaching kids to say "please" and "thank you." We're teaching our kids to listen to everyone (not just elders) with respect.
My mom raised us kids to say "yes, ma'am" and "no, ma'am." Guess where that got us? When my sister accidentally said "yes, ma'am" to her second-grade teacher, she was sent to the principal's office for being sarcastic. Some forms of politeness can actually backfire.
If anything, we're going deeper. It's not about following rules of etiquette, it's about treating people with kindness and consideration. Nowadays you don't say "excuse me" before interrupting -- you just shut up and listen while someone finishes talking and then you have your say. So yeah, do we care about being "polite"? Not as much as we care about being thoughtful.
As for eating around the table, it is sad that this tradition is struggling. But I just don't buy that it's about lazy parenting. It's about the pace of our lives -- both parents working, kids with loads of extracurricular activities. It's gotten harder! But I think most of us still see eating dinner together around the table is still an ideal we try to make happen at least once a week.
So lighten up, grandparents! As Billy Joel (your generation?) once said, "The good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't bad as it seems." I don't buy that you were so danged polite in your day. And anyway, who raised these "lazy" parents to be so "lazy" in the first place? Harrumph!
Do you think parents are lazier and kids are ruder than they were two generations ago?

I agree with the Grandparents.
I agree with the grandparents as well. My step kids just barge in on "adult" conversations and they want what they want right then and there and if they don't get it they throw a fit. I've seen kids running around the stores acting like crazed lunatics. I see kids talking about to parents and ironically it's the "ghetto" ones that keep their kids in line. Granted some of those "ghetto" kids are the worse behaved but they'er also some of the more polite ones that I've seen. Their parents aren't afriad to tell them to "act right" in front of other people and I actually respect that.
What is "ghetto"?
I completely agree with grandparents! There is such a lack of manners, respect & general etiquette in kids & the parent don't seem to be teaching them.
I completely agree. I was raised by my Grandma and Great Gram as my dad had left and my mom was working 2 jobs to support me and my sister. and I have WAY more manners than most people my age I know. And those manners are being passed on to my kids. They say please, thank you, and excuse me if they have to interupt. They call their elders Miss and Mr. Thats the way it SHOULD be.
Dear Ms. Velez,
I appreciate your sharing your thoughts about politeness vs. thoughtfulness. I had always thought they went hand in hand. Now, I get to see that 1impoliteness and unthoughtfulness (if that is a word) also go hand in hand. Perhaps it would have been a more effective message if your comments could have been framed in the context and tone of thoughtfulness. Phrases like "I'm not buying it" and telling grandparents to "lighten up" even as you hold yourself out as a paragon of thoughtfulness and listening to everyone "(not just elders - emphasis mine)" diminish what you are attempting to do.
I wish you much good will and enjoy the season.
-Reality Check Now
I completely agree with the grandparents here. I used to teach elementary school, and if I had a nickel for every kid I had who somehow got to first or second grade without learning to say "please" or "thank you", I'd have a whole lotta nickels. They did say it to me, because they learned that in my classroom, asking rudely for something was going to get them zilch. But yes, in general, I think that kids are absolutely ruder, more spoiled and way more self-centered than they used to be.

By Monica Drake, The Oakland Press Posted: 09/13/13, 10:45 AM EDT | # Comments An $1,000 reward is now offered for information regarding an unknown suspect who skinned a dog alive in Detroit — a case which the nonprofit caring for her has called the "worst case of abuse we have ever seen."The rat terrier, known as Patty, is in serious but stable condition at Emergency Veterinarian Hospital in Ann Arbor.Around 8 a.m. Friday, Patty received surgery for her wounds. Doctors reattached a small portion of skin on the top of Patty's head. She is expected to recover from her injuries, despite being unable to reattach a large flap of dead skin.She was also found to have several stab wounds, but none of her internal organs were damaged. Patty was found skinned from the back of her neck to her ears on Thursday on Detroit's southwest side.The dog, who appears to be 4 years old, was wearing chipped pink or red nail polish and is not micro chipped.So far, $11,127 has been raised for her care. Donations can be made online at providingforpaws.org or mailed to P.O. Box 432, Garden City, 48135.Anyone who believes Patty may be their lost or stolen pet or has information about her injuries is asked to call 734-765-8989.

Though you scorn my love
and look upon me
as a loathed abomination,
I can't quell my passion for you
nor turn off my admiration.
Though it pains me deeply
and I'm hurt by your rejection
I struggle to conceal my yearning
and to stifle my affection.
I cherish our relationship
knowing I must dim the flame,
as I attempt to taste your tender lips
and you call another's name.
I'm not trying to bamboozle,
nor to trick you nor cajole.
The bloom of our romance is gone
and I've lost my inner soul.

ARIES: March 21 to April 19: The New Year brings challenges that can change many things in your life. You need to be prepared not only to confront them, but also to deal with what happens afterward.
Marne Lanes Bowling Center is offering two Christmas Eve opportunities for bowling fun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Much of what makes the holiday season so special is the traditions that people hold dear. While many families have traditions that date back decades, there is plenty of opportunity to embrace unique means of celebration to breathe new life into Christmas, Chanukah or the season's other holidays.
In late 2009, Robert Redford and James McAvoy began filming on the streets of downtown Savannah. Their picture is called "The Conspirator," and it's available on DVD.

FMWR's on the Web, Facebook
Welcome to December. As we begin to celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa, we all get so busy shopping, decorating, writing cards, wrapping gifts and baking cookies with the kids.
Georgia is a beautiful state with lots of history, much of which was preserved for us by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources through its 60-plus state parks and historic sites. Fort King George Historic Site in Darien was established by the British in 1621, a dozen years before Gen. James Oglethorpe founded Great Britain's 13th colony in the New World.
The Great FMWR Post-Wide Housing Yard Sale will be from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday.
TYBEE ISLAND – The 10th Annual Tybee Island Pirate Fest is set for Oct. 9-12, bringing swashbuckling, family-friendly fun for Columbus Day weekend.
Over the last few years, Liam Neeson has been doing the action roles that I don't think Harrison Ford is interested in doing anymore.
SPRINGFIELD – The fifth Effingham Oktoberfest will be held Friday and Saturday behind Rincon Chevrolet, 5480 Highway 21 S. in Rincon.
The original "Dolphin Tale" was a surprise hit with critics and audiences, but somehow, I'm not sure how it was enough to justify a sequel.
Bend-the-Bar: Registration is under way for the Stewart/Hunter "Bend-the-Bar" Powerlifting and Bench Press Challenge Saturday at 4thIBCT Fitness Center.
"The Identical" is the type of movie that would be great on the Hallmark Channel or even TBN, for that matter. It's a movie that deals with a lot of elements that are both familiar and fundamental to movies of this kind: It features Scripture, Southern nostalgia and, of course, the birth of rock 'n' roll.

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Growth Hormone Linked to Cancer
"The fact that these hormone levels decline with age may be an appropriate balance," Pollak says. "You may be subjecting yourself to risks if you keep these levels high."
In an October 2000 interview with WebMD, Stanley Slater, MD, discussed the fad of using hGH to slow the aging process. Slater is associate director for geriatrics at the U.S. National Institute on Aging.
"When people ask, I tell them not to take growth hormone but to wait until it is clinically established to be useful," Slater says. "There is no clinical evidence of it causing tumors to grow faster, but on biological grounds there is some suspicion. If you give someone growth hormone for 30 years, nobody knows what will happen."

Saying it wants to join an international treaty banning anti-personnel land mines, the U.S. announced today that it will no longer make "or otherwise acquire" them. The new policy was announced at a conference on the Ottawa Convention, a 1999 treaty that outlaws the mines.
The country's stronger stance on mines is part of a push "to end the use of all nondetectable mines and all persistent mines, which can remain active for years after the end of a conflict," according to a White House news release issued this morning.
The new policy was announced to coincide with the conference that's taking place this week in Mozambique.
"The old argument is that the U.S. needs land mines to stave off the North Koreans," writes about the U.S. reluctance to join the pact. "But in a world of fast deployment forces, that's not a convincing reason, and military experts have claimed that mines constrict defense more than help."
Worldwide, 161 countries have signed the Ottawa accord. While the U.S. isn't one of them, in the early 1990s, the country established an aid program that it says has doled out some $2.3 billion in aid to eliminate land mines and to help their victims.

Battle-Test Your MongoDB Cluster
Kristina Chodorow1 shared a good list of tests to put a MongoDB cluster through:
Here are some exercises to battle-test your MongoDB instance before going into production. You'll need a Database Master (aka DM) to make bad things happen to your MongoDB install and one or more players to try to fix it.
Netflix is using a series of tools that perform similar tests against their Cassandra clusters. With a small twist: they are run against the production clusters.
In a recent post, Kristina Chodorow, one of the most prominent figures of the MongoDB world, has announced she has decided to become a Googler. Good luck Kristina! ↩

Using Apache ZooKeeper to Build Distributed Apps (And Why)
Great intro to ZooKeeper and the problems it can help solve by Sean Mackrory:
Done wrong, distributed software can be the most difficult to debug. Done right, however, it can allow you to process more data, more reliably and in less time. Using Apache ZooKeeper allows you to confidently reason about the state of your data, and coordinate your cluster the right way. You've seen how easy it is to get a ZooKeeper server up and running. (In fact, if you're a CDH user, you may already have an ensemble running!) Think about how ZooKeeper could help you build more robust systems
Leaving aside for a second the main topic of the post, another important lesson here is that the NIH syndrom in distributed systems is very expensive.

Introducing Highly Available Transactions: The Relationship Between CAP and ACID Transactions
Learning from Peter Bailis:
While the CAP Theorem is fairly well understood, the relationship between CAP and ACID transactions is not. If we consider the current lack of highly available systems providing arbitrary multi-object operations with ACID-like semantics, it appears that CAP and transactions are incompatible. This is partly due to the historical design of distributed database systems, which typically chose consistency over high availability. Standard database techniques like two-phase locking and multi-version concurrency control do not typically perform well in the event of partial failure, and the master-based (i.e., master-per-shard) and overlapping quorum-based techniques often adopted by many distributed database designs are similarly unavailable if users are partitioned from the anointed primary copies.
There's also a paper (PDF) authored by Peter Bailis, Alan Fekete, Ali Ghodsi, Joseph m. Hellerstein, Ion Stoica. These names should tell you something.

MongoDB Fault Tolerance - Broken by Design
Emin Gün Sirer:
So, MongoDB is broken, and not just superficially so; it's broken by design. If you're relying on its fault tolerance,a you're probably using it wrong.
He's not the first to write about some of the critical issues in MongoDB. Every once in a while, there has been at least one post detailing one of these. But none of them stopped MongoDB's adoption. Why? My only explanations are that:
- these posts are not reaching enough people;
- MongoDB is used mostly for simple scenarios where the occurance of such errors can be ignored
- those using MongoDB for more complicated scenarios have developed internal, application specific workarounds

Notes on Distributed Systems for Young Bloods
Jeff Hodges:
Below is a list of some lessons I've learned as a distributed systems engineer that are worth being told to a new engineer. Some are subtle, and some are surprising, but none are controversial. This list is for the new distributed systems engineer to guide their thinking about the field they are taking on. It's not comprehensive, but it's a good beginning.
Go through this list. Twice. Then for every item ask "why is this" at least 3 times. It won't make you a better system engineer, but you'll understand better what people developing or operating large scale systems are facing.

Alex Sicular's Recap of Ricon 2012, a Distributed Systems Conference for Developers
While in conference mode1 I'm like a sponge, I'm almost no good at putting all my chaotic notes in a format that is usable to anyone else.
Alex Siculars has done a great job writing down his thoughts about Basho's fantastic Ricon 2012 and linking to his post makes me feel less guilty for not being able to post mines—I'm learning to get better for the next events:
Chatter by conference attendees left me convinced that Ricon was a success. Ricon was-well executed, well-attended and actually interesting. But more importantly, it was relevant. For those of us at the conference, we actually work in this space. We are interested in the ongoing development of distributed solutions to a number of problems. The conference delivered on creating a space that brought us together to share solutions and learn about continuing advancements. For a new conference to have a successful maiden voyage is no small feat in my book. I, for one, am looking forward to the next one.
My only contribution to Alex Sicular's great recap is to provide some links to the talks his blog post refers to:
Joe Hellerstein: Programming Principles for a Distributed Era
The PDF can be downloaded from here
Eric Brewer: Advancing Distributed Systems
Russel Brown and Sean Cribbs: Data Structures in Riak
Bryan Fink: Riak Pipe: Distributed Processing System
Ryan Zezeski: Yokozuna: Riak + Solr
More presentation slides can be found on the official Ricon 2012 site.
My thanks again to the Basho team for inviting me to Ricon 2012 and also to DataStax team for the Cassandra Summit invitation. ↩

Doing Redundant Work to Speed Up Distributed Queries
Great post by Peter Bailis looking at how some systems are reducing tail latency by distributing reads across nodes:
Open-source Dynamo-style stores have different answers. Apache Cassandra originally sent reads to all replicas, but CASSANDRA-930 and CASSANDRA-982 changed this: one commenter argued that "in IO overloaded situations" it was better to send read requests only to the minimum number of replicas. By default, Cassandra now sends reads to the minimum number of replicas 90% of the time and to all replicas 10% of the time, primarily for consistency purposes. (Surprisingly, the relevant JIRA issues don't even mention the latency impact.) LinkedIn's Voldemort also uses a send-to-minimum strategy (and has evidently done so since it was open-sourced). In contrast, Basho Riak chooses the "true" Dynamo-style send-to-all read policy.

Dynamic Reconfiguration of Apache ZooKeeper
A slide deck by Alexander Shraer providing a shorter version of the Dynamic Reconfiguration of Primary/Backup Clusters in Apache ZooKeeper paper.
There are still some scenarios where the proposal algorithm will not work, but I cannot tell how often these will occur:
- Quorum of new ensemble must be in sync
- Another reconfig in progress
- Version condition check fails
One of the most interesting slides in the deck is the one explaining the failure free flow:

The Behavior of EC2/EBS Metadata Replicated Datastore
The Amazon post about the service disruption that happened late last month provides an interesting description of the behavior of the Amazon EC2 and EBS metadata datastores:
The EC2 and EBS APIs are implemented on multi-Availability Zone replicated datastores. These datastores are used to store metadata for resources such as instances, volumes, and snapshots. To protect against datastore corruption, currently when the primary copy loses power, the system automatically flips to a read-only mode in the other Availability Zones until power is restored to the affected Availability Zone or until we determine it is safe to promote another copy to primary.

Dynamic Reconfiguration of Primary/Backup Clusters in Apache ZooKeeper
A paper by Alexander Shraer, Benjamin Reed, Flavio Junqueira (Yahoo) and Dahlia Malkhi (Microsoft):
Dynamically changing (reconfiguring) the membership of a replicated distributed system while preserving data consistency and system availability is a challenging problem. In this paper, we show that reconfiguration can be simplified by taking advantage of certain properties commonly provided by Primary/Backup systems. We describe a new reconfiguration protocol, recently implemented in Apache Zookeeper. It fully automates configuration changes and minimizes any interruption in service to clients while maintaining data consistency. By leveraging the properties already provided by Zookeeper our protocol is considerably simpler than state of the art.
The corresponding ZooKeeper issue has been created in 2008 and the new protocol should be part of ZooKeeper 3.5.0

Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure
Google's paper about their large-scale distributed systems tracing solution Dapper which inspired Twitter's Zipkin:
Here we introduce the design of Dapper, Google's production distributed systems tracing infrastructure, and describe how our design goals of low overhead, application-level transparency, and ubiquitous deployment on a very large scale system were met. Dapper shares conceptual similarities with other tracing systems, particularly Magpie [3] and X-Trace [12], but certain design choices were made that have been key to its success in our environment, such as the use of sampling and restricting the instrumentation to a rather small number of common libraries.
Download or read the paper after the break.
Tracing Distributed Systems With Twitter Zipkin
Whenever a request reaches Twitter, we decide if the request should be sampled. We attach a few lightweight trace identifiers and pass them along to all the services used in that request. By only sampling a portion of all the requests we reduce the overhead of tracing, allowing us to always have it enabled in production.
The Zipkin collector receives the data via Scribe and stores it in Cassandra along with a few indexes. The indexes are used by the Zipkin query daemon to find interesting traces to display in the web UI.
There a many APM solutions out there, but sometimes the overhead or the lack of support for specific components may lead to the need of custom solutions like this one. While in a different field, this is just another example of why products and services should be designed with openness and integration in mind.
