About those unfinished series…
…I've been making good headway since I last posted.
I've read Ganymede, Sourcery, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. I'm also about 3/4 through The Magician King. (Damn, listening to the chapters on Julia's backstory is depressing. And I thought Quentin was bad…)
Also, Ganymede might be the best of the Clockwork Century books. Cherie Priest is developing that world into a real delight.
So, I've caught up on Clockwork Century, finished The Hunger Games, and am nearly caught up on The Magicians. I've put up a new page that details my progress on all the series I've started since the beginning of 2010. (Which, of course, means A Song of Ice and Fire isn't listed there. Just assume I suck down each book when they finally appear.)
I'll keep it updated whenever a change is required. Completed series that the author has finished will disappear from the page after an update or two.
I'm in short/quick reading mode at the moment, so the epic fantasy/sci-fi stuff is probably going to have to wait for a bit. And Children of the Sky is DEFINITELY waiting until the horrible ebook price comes down. At the rate I read, I _might_ have this list completed by mid-2013 or so. Except for the new series I start by then…
Book series update
Wow. Those might be the fastest four months in history. Has it really been that long since I posted on here? Sorry about that.
Anyway, I wanted to give a little reading update. It's (obviously) been a while. I've noticed that, while I haven't been reading as many books as last year, they're tending to be longer, bigger books. And that's got it's own appeal. I'll have a post about that after the end of the year.
I've read or listened to the following books since Hugo voting ended (the last time I posted about books on here.) My brief 1-5 star rating follows.
- Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child (3.5 of 5)
- Shit My Dad Says by Justin Halpern (4 of 5)
- The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking (3 of 5)
- Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson (audio) (3 of 5)
- A Dance With Dragons by George R. R. Martin (4.5 of 5)
- Regarding Ducks and Universes by Neve Maslakovic (3 of 5)
- Dreadnought by Cherie Priest (4.5 of 5)
- Deadline by Mira Grant (audio) (4.5 of 5)
- The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (5 of 5)
- The Honor of the Queen by David Weber (4 of 5)
- Kraken by China Mieville (4 of 5)
- Keepsakes by Mike Resnick (novella) (4.5 of 5)
- Nightfall by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg (4 of 5)
- A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge (5 of 5)
- Connie Cobbler: Toy Detective by James DeSalvo (2 of 5)
- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick (5 of 5)
- Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik (3.5 of 5)
- The Magicians by Lev Grossman (audio) (4 of 5)
- Story Engineering by Larry Brooks (5 of 5)
- The Broken Kingdoms by N. K. Jemesin (audio) (5 of 5)
I also started listening to The Map of Time by Felix Palma and abandoned it. Capsule reviews for these books can be found on my Goodreads profile.
I've got two books currently going: Leviathan by Scott Westerfield and The Create A Plot Clinic by Holly Lisle. I haven't decided what my next audio book will be, but it's likely to be The Magician King, the sequel to The Magicians.
Around this time last year, I looked at the series I'd started and not finished. I've made progress on some of those, but unfortunately started more. Series that saw me read further since that post:
- The Vorkosigan Saga (I've now read five books in the series, nine more to go.)
- Zones of Thought (I read A Deepness in the Sky, but haven't picked up Children of the Sky yet.)
- Honor Harrington (Read one more. Loads to go.)
- Clockwork Century (Need to read Ganymede.)
- Old Man's War (Read the 2nd book, two more to go.)
- Discworld (I've now read four of the 35? books.)
I almost started reading books in many of the other series, but was never quite in the mood. I look at the list, and there are three I'll definitely continue: The Mars Trilogy, The Hunger Games, and The Laundry. The others… eh. Maybe. That said, if I don't get to them in 2012, maybe I never will. Sadly, I didn't actually finish any of those series.
I've also started a bunch of new series since that post. Number in parentheses indicates how many books I've read, and how many have been published to date. Asterisks indicate series I most likely won't be continuing for one reason or another.
Late 2010:
Bengal Station by Eric Brown (1/3)*
Kenzie & Gennaro by Dennis Lehane (1/6)*
Assiti Shards by Eric Flint, et. al. (2/10 + anthologies)
The Cat Who by Lilian Jackson Braun (1/ a bunch)*
Temeraire by Naomi Novik (2/6)
The Dark Tower by Stephen King (1/7)*
Gentlemen Bastards by Scott Lynch (1/2)
Golden Age of the Solar Clipper by Nathan Lowell (1/6)*
The Inheritance Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin (2/3)
Newsflesh Trilogy by Mira Grant (2/2)
Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss (1/2)
The Magicians by Lev Grossman (1/2)
2010 saw me start 17 series. I continued seven of them. 2011 has seen me start nine more series. (Well, make that 10. I just started the Leviathan series last night.) I've also got my eyes on a few more (The Legend of Eli Monpress, The Parasol Protectorate, New Crobuzon, The Castings Trilogy, and The Tales of the Ketty Jay). That's just too many oars in the water. I need to finish some of these off.
That's my initial reading goal for 2012. Finish at least five series. There's some obvious low-hanging fruit: Old Man's War, Clockwork Century, The Magicians, and The Inheritance Trilogy are my initial thoughts.
Actually, let's make this a better goal: Finish more series than I start in 2012.
Slippery Slopes
I had a great little mini-conversation on twitter centered around Michael Vick. While we ended our discussion agreeing to disagree, it did raise a couple interesting questions in my head.
If you haven't heard, Nike has re-signed Vick to an endorsement deal. I haven't looked into the particulars, and frankly don't care. It's not germane to the issues at hand.
There were two issues over which we disagreed:
- At what point has a person paid their price for a crime? Does this change depending on the crime?
- What is the set of crimes (assuming that set exists) which disqualify you from being treated as a hero and role model even after you've served your sentence?
Pro athletes (Charles Barkley excepted) are considered by many to be heroes and role models. Those with endorsement deals have those roles expanded. What Michael Vick did was reprehensible. However, he was convicted and served his sentence. All indications are he has moved past that period in his life.
So… should Nike have signed Vick to a deal? We all knew he was going to get another shot at the NFL, and Nike obviously thinks investing in Vick at this point makes sense. Does it? Or will there be backlash they didn't anticipate? People consistently bring up what he did. Is that fair?
Or, should we look at Vick as someone who made a rather serious mistake, paid a fairly hefty price, and is now ready to move on? Should we let him?
The shocking nature of his crime does tend to color people's perspectives on these questions, I think. Which leads us to point 2. Is there a set of crimes from which people should not be allowed to be treated as a role model, even after serving the punishment handed to them by the courts? I feel murder and child abuse fall into that collection, but how far do you go? What else qualifies?
Some interesting food for thought here, I feel.
I've already covered Novels (> 40,000 words) and Novellas (17,500 – 40,000 words). This post will cover the Hugo nominees for Best Novelette (7,500-17,500 words) and Best Short Story (< 7,500 words).
Best Novelette
First, the nominees for Best Novelette, including links to where you can read them online and where they were first published:
"Eight Miles" by Sean McMullen (Analog, September 2010)
"The Emperor of Mars" by Allen M. Steele (Asimov's, June 2010)
"The Jaguar House, in Shadow" by Aliette de Bodard (Asimov's, July 2010)
"Plus or Minus" by James Patrick Kelly (Asimov's, December 2010)
"That Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made" by Eric James Stone (Analog, September 2010)
I'll briefly describe each story, then walk you through my decision process.
"Eight Miles" is the story of a late 19th century balloonist hired to travel to heretofore unreached altitudes in order to document their effect on a rather interesting creature.
"The Emperor of Mars" is the story of a young man who receives tragic news while working on Mars, and cannot return home to deal with it for well over a year.
"The Jaguar House, in Shadow" is the story of sacrifice in the name of ideals to save a revived Aztec culture from corrupted leaders.
"Plus or Minus" is the story of how people react on an interstellar cargo ship when something goes wrong.
"That Leviathan, Whom Thou Has Made" is the story of what happens when a Morman Elder is confronted with a being that tests his faith.
Decisions, decisions
I'm going to start off by writing off "Jaguar House." I just didn't get that one. Felt half-baked and incomplete. "That Leviathan" came across as Morman propaganda, frankly. When confronted with what Leviathan actually is, the story bent over backwards to validate the Mormon POV. I absolutely didn't buy any of it. Too bad, because there's some good ideas in there.
"Plus or Minus" was a bit interesting. Without spoiling things, let's just say there was a very critical event missing from the narrative. If it had been included, I may have well cast my vote here.
"The Emperor of Mars" was a poignant retelling of a young man's attempts to retain sanity when faced with tragic loss and no real outlet with which to handle it. I could easily see this being a chapter in Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars.
"Eight Miles" is going to get my vote, though. I found this story riveting and fascinating. There's elements of Victorian sci-fi, intrigue, politics, and more. It feels like a Jules Verne story. My reaction to it was nearly an order of magnitude stronger than any of the other stories, making it an easy choice for me.
Best Short Story
Only four nominees here, as only four received nominations on at least 5% of the ballots.
"Amaryllis" by Carrie Vaughn (Lightspeed, June 2010)
"For Want of a Nail" by Mary Robinette Kowal (Asimov's, September 2010)
"Ponies" by Kij Johnson (Tor.com, November 17, 2010)
"The Things" by Peter Watts (Clarkesworld, January 2010)
And the descriptions:
"The Things" is a haunting tale of an alien being that doesn't understand our biology.
"Ponies" is Unicorns and cotton candy. And just how evil little girls can be.
"For Want of a Nail" is the story of what might go wrong when you trust your family's history to an AI on a Generation Ship.
"Amaryllis" is the story of a household's struggle against their past in an apparent post-holocaust world.
My thoughts
I'm going to eliminate "Ponies" right off. It wasn't a bad story by any means, but it was a quarter the length of the other contenders, and it just didn't have time to build up enough meat to hang with the others.
Choosing between the other three might be my toughest decision so far. None of them really stand out, and they're all high quality. So, I have to look for other reasons. "The Things" has the advantage of being written from a non-human perspective. This puts its difficulty rating rather high. I seemed to care about the main character in "Amaryllis" the most. Good characterization in a short story isn't easy.
This makes me lean towards eliminating "For Want of a Nail." Generation ships aren't a new concept, though you don't see many stories dealing with day-to-day issues faced on them. The point of the story is the interaction between the AI and one of the characters, and it seemed a bit odd.
There were times during "The Things" when it got a bit confusing. Nature of the beast, or maybe some tightening needed? Not sure. The primary conflict point in "Amaryllis" was a bit weak, though the story was very well told.
Okay, that sells it for me. I'm voting for "The Things" by Peter Watts. Yes, it was a tad confusing at times, but thinking about it, I believe that was intentional. Unique idea, difficult perspective.
For those that don't know, a Novella is a piece of fiction between 17,500 and 40,000 words. (Anything over 40,000 words is considered a Novel.) Most novella these days are published in magazines, though some only appear in bound collections.
Of the five nominees this year, four are available to read for free online. I'll link to them. The fifth only appears in the Godlike Machines anthology which also got the editor (Jonathan Strahan) a nomination in the Best Editor, Short Form category.
Here's the list in alphabetical order by author.
- The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang
- "The Maiden Flight of McCauley's Bellerophon" by Elizabeth Hand
- "The Sultan of the Clouds" (PDF link) by Geoffrey A. Landis
- "Troika" by Alastair Reynolds
- "The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers beneath the Queen's Window" by Rachel Swirsky
Caveat: I used to work with Ted Chiang. When I first started as a technical writer back in 1993, he was in my team. We never worked on the same project, and we didn't overlap for long (no more than a year, perhaps). But, it's still cool to see an ex-coworker get this sort of recognition.
Let's take them in order:
The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang
This is the story of virtual beings (pets, in this case), their ability to grow, and the implications this has on their owners. It delves quite a bit into the psychology of the attachments between these virtual beings (Chiang calls them "digients") and their owners. They live in what could be seen as an advanced Second Life environment, and can even be extracted to inhabit physical robots. The story was building up nicely to a crisis point near the end, but I thought Chiang copped out a bit on the ending.
"The Maiden Flight of McCauley's Bellerophon" by Elizabeth Hand
This story centers around a group of people that used to work at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Their former boss is dying of cancer, and one of the others has decided to try to recreate some video footage allegedly portraying a successful powered flight test, pre-Wright Brothers. It was apparently the former boss' favorite film, and had been destroyed while viewing many years before. Some odd, borderline-supernatural effects appear at the end of the footage, and nobody knows the explanation. The story has an odd feel of nostalgia tainted with personal failure, but seemed a bit unfulfilling to me.
"The Sultan of the Clouds" by Geoffrey A. Landis
The story revolves around the effective ruler of Venus, a 12-yr-old boy, and his affection towards an earth-based engineer. There's some fascinating terraforming tech in this story, and it melds together petulance, love triangles, and pirates. I particularly liked the ending on this one.
"Troika" by Alastair Reynolds
The Soviet Union (2nd, edition) is the only nation still traveling into space, and we learn about what's happened to two cosmonauts who traveled to and into an alien craft at the edges of the solar system. The story happens decades after the trip, and we get glimpses into the after-effects. There is a LOT of world building in the background of this one, and you're left with a lot of questions when it's over.
"The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers beneath the Queen's Window" by Rachel Swirsky
This one is extremely metaphysical and deep. The title character is killed in a magial ritual, trapping her soul for eternity. She is allowed to be summoned, however, and we get glimpses of societal change over long periods of time during these summonings. Questions of whether older cultural bias should be allowed in a society that doesn't subscribe to these biases are raised.
How I see them
I enjoyed all five of these stories. Jo Walton has proposed on Tor.com that the Novella category contains the most consistent quality nominations. Given this group of stories, I can believe that. It's not easy choosing the best of these five.
I think the weakest of the five is the Hand story. So, it's an easy one for me to eliminate right off when considering my vote. Probably the next I'd eliminate is Ted Chiang's story because the ending disappointed me. But that's not really being fair because 95% of that story is fantastic.
After that, it's tough. The Landis and Reynolds stories are classic sci-fi in style, while the Swirsky sort of blends fantasy and sci-fi. I'll probably eliminate the Reynolds next because it seemed to need to be larger. There are many unanswered questions left hanging. That leaves me deciding between the Landis and Swirsky stories. I'm probably going to lean towards the Swirsky because of the scope she managed to capture in a smaller piece of fiction. The Landis story could easily appear in an Foundation-style novelization of a novella series. And I think that treatment would do it justice.
So, my vote for the 2011 Hugo for Best Novella goes to "The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers beneath the Queen's Window" by Rachel Swirsky.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Since when did Canada start driving on the left side of the road? hmmmmm
I never noticed that. Wh says it's got to be a fake photo since the trees are growing on top of the snow. Truth be told we do have snow piled up that high around our place. Some great dude came to plow for the auction barn and plowed in our car and truck. Wh had to shovel out the car. I just used 4x4 and drive through it lol

Bunny Groaner
- Friday, September 12, 2003
He was a nice little bunny, but he had one flaw in his personality. He could be polite to everyone and everything, except ants. Hare just couldn't stand ants and would stomp on them whenever he encountered them.
His fairy godmother wanted him to correct this flaw, so she appeared to him and told him that if he didn't quit stomping ants, she was going to turn him into a goon.
Well, Hare behaved himself for several days, but then he encountered a big colony of ants. He called for his fairy godmother to appear and when she did, he begged her to let him stomp those ants, the temptation was just too much for him!
She told him she couldn't allow it and for him to remember if he gave into temptation and stomped those ants, it would be "Hare today and Goon tomorrow!"

Wireless surveillance cameras can be setup anywhere in your property and they will send the signal from the CCTV camera straight to the receiver giving you a clear image with audio (if your camera supports Sound). We have a range of indoor or Outdoor CCTV Cameras which will suit every budget and need. wireless security camera for surveillance for covert surveillance are there to catch someone on film whilst not knowing the camera even exists. All of the wireless spy cameras we manufacture send images at 30 frames per second with full colour. Some even see in complete darkness; look out for the wireless spycam with a 0 lux level rating. This can be especially useful when you are trying to film at night as the infra red LED's (invisible to the human eye) will illuminate even the darkest room.
We find that many of our wireless cameras are suitable for outhouses and hard to reach areas with conventional cabling, as it's not always possible to run a cable directly from the wireless security camera to the TV or PC. Once a wireless CCTV camera has been installed you will be able to monitor on your TV, PC or DVR exactly what is happening. A wireless surveillance camera is most suited to being connected to a mains power supply for 24/7 monitoring or to a battery for shorter periods of time, a standard 9v PP3 battery will run a spy camera for between 3 and 8 hours depending upon the quality.

The saga between the Houston Rockets and rookie Royce White continues to wage back and forth in what has been quite a precarious relationship.
"The information that the Houston Rockets have publicly presented about this situation has been extremely misleading and a lot of times totally inaccurate," White said. "An image of support has been presented by the Rockets, but the only logical support here would be listening to the recommendation of the medical professionals involved. That has not totally happened here. I have chosen to not play, because the doctors and I believe it to be unsafe for unqualified Rockets front office personnel to make medical decisions, as they are not mental health professionals."
White has continued to claim that he wants to play this year, but he believes that the Rockets are mishandling his entire situation. The Rockets picked White with the number 16 pick in this year's draft knowing that White had anxiety issues, but the gamble on this extremely talented player has unfortunately not paid off so far.

Eco Honeybees Hive Rental program is designed more for our commercial clientele as opposed to our residential clients. Our business is not really designed to be a larger scale pollination service. Most of our commercial clients are similar to our residential ones in that they want to do their part in bringing back the honeybee to the area but wish to have hive(s) placed at their place of business as opposed to their homes. But, with many firms dealing with yearly facilities budgets, a hive rental with servicing built into it might be favorable to an outright purchase.
The advantages of having hives on commercial property are numerous. Here a few worthy of consideration:
As each commercial application is different, we take each rental opportunity on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us through the site here or feel free to call us at 703-801-2281.

Town Square
The 70% Solution
Original post made by Common sense, Atherton: other, on Aug 7, 2013
Answer: Zero.
Question: How many police departments in the Bay Area make a cops' pension contribution for him, in addition to providing the employer match?
Answer: One. Atherton.
Question: Same as above, replace California for Bay Area.
Answer: One (as far as I can check). Atherton.
Question: Will the APOA purchased city council of Wiest and Lewis roll back this practice in contract negotiations?
Answer: Hell no. The APOA is going to get what they paid for.
In an alternative universe in which the Atherton town council was actually trying to work for the taxpayers of Atherton, the following obvious measures would be taken to reduce the parcel tax down to about 50% of its current level. It would only need to be kept at the 50% level for four more years to pay down unfunded liabilities and perform capital improvements, and then go away entirely.
Reform #1: Stop making a cops' pension contribution for him. Just make the employer contribution, like every other city does. A no brainer, right?
Reform #2: Unfortunately it may not be possible to roll back an existing cops pension from the 90% level. At least reduce it for new hires. A no brainer, right?
Reform #3: Reduce Atherton police officer pay from the 70th percentile of neighboring cities to the 50th.
APOA: "If you do that, no good officers will work in Atherton."
Answer: Baloney. Plenty of good cops would figure getting median Bay Area police pay hardly shabby in exchange for working in the least dangerous city in the Bay Area is actually a pretty good deal.
By "least dangerous" I mean a cop has never been killed or even truly injured in the line of duty in Atherton. Ever. There are no gangs, no violent crimes, no armed robberies, no businesses to rob. The list goes on and on.
These reforms probably make too much sense. They benefit the Atherton taxpayer, not the Atherton cop. For this reason, the city council members Lewis and Wiest probably will regard them as foolish, inflammatory, or just plain mean.
But in the alternative universe in which council members actually represent the people who vote for them and pay the taxes in their city, rather than the union who gave them money to win the election, it's hard to argue with these reform measures. They make good sense.

a resident of Atherton: other
on Aug 7, 2013 at 10:40 pm
Just to give some idea on what the value of Atherton making an Atherton police officer's pension contribution for him is, in San Francisco, it amounts to about 20% of a cop's salary. Figuring $100,000 per year (a low end estimate) for Atherton cops, that's $20,000 of extra compensation in addition to being paid at the 70th percentile.
Nice work if you can get it!
You won't hear this being discussed by the APOA, Lewis, Wiest, or at council meetings. They don't want it known.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Prune picker
Prune picker is a Depression Era term for a native Californian. It was not a complement. In the thirties when I was a boy there were times that I was the only prune picker in a group. Everyone else had been born somewhere else.

Three great grandsons who live in Corona, California.
This is a recent picture of Jack, Max, and Charlie Shafai. I saw them in January of this year. They have really grown in the months since then. They are the beloved children of my grand daughter Annie and her husband Paymaan Shafai. I love them too.

In news that will delight children both young and old, 'OMG! Jedward's Dream Factory' is set to return to our screens this Christmas!
'OMG! Jedward's Dream Factory' saw Jedward grant the wishes of boys and girls from around the country in an entertainment extravaganza that punched smiles into the eyes of even the most hardened of cynics.
Last year, Jedward's Dream Factory made it possible for Luka Murphy to lead Manchester United onto the pitch at Old Trafford, while Conor Leigh was given the chance to run a chocolate factory for a day. Over ten episodes, many other lucky children had the opportunity to make their dreams a reality, and now the dynamic duo are eager to do it all over again!
Starting Christmas Day at 11am on RTE 2, full post production on the second series of OMG! Jedward's Dream Factory took place here at Screen Scene.

In it's first official statement on the next generation of consoles, Sony has revealed that the PS4 will be powered by a nuclear fusion reactor, which Sony executives mentioned is "still in development".
"While nuclear fusion has eluded humanity for over half a century, we here at Sony are confident in our ability to provide this breakthrough. We find this is not only necessary in terms of solving the energy crisis but also for powering the most advanced graphics ever thought imaginable on a console" said Kazuo Hirai, Chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment.
It was noted by one commentator that once nuclear fusion has been achieved, it would provide nearly unlimited free power to the entire world. Sony was quick to mention though that research and development costs would need to be recovered and that this would likely impact the PS4's price-point.
"Gamers of Sony products have come to expect a top-notch experience that isn't boggled down by second-grade technical design. That's why our gamers have always been willing to pay two or three times more for a nearly identical gaming experience. That's also why we've decided that the cooling system for the PS4 will be powered by none other than Unicorn blood"
Sony then gave details of it's top-secret program to genetically engineer Unicorns, which executives say have twice the cooling power of other non-magical entities, such as horses. "We originally intended the PS3 to be cooled by Unicorn blood but the technology just wasn't there. However, in recent years we've made great strides and will be able to enable Unicorn powered cooling systems in the PS4 on a mass-production scale"
Over 1,000,000 Unicorns will be bred and harvested for their blood this year alone.

Re: Fatigue & Exhaustion
Mom2bee2014: I am just shy of 8 weeks pregnant and am not on progesterone but I too am experiencing fatigue and running hot. The baby grows so rapidly in the first trimester that exhaustion is normal. Your blood flow has also already increased by 10% and your body is having to process more fluids now and I believe that is why we run hot.

Additionally, a high BMI in children younger than 2 years of age is less likely to persist than a high BMI in older children (Guo et al., 1994). BMI reference values are not established for children less than 2 years of age. Weight-for-length greater than the 95th percentile is used by CDC and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children to define overweight for children in this age group.
It is important that government agencies, researchers, health-care providers, insurers, and others agree on the same definition of childhood obesity. Although varying definitions have arisen from many uses of the term in public health, clinical medicine, insurance coverage, government programs and other settings, to the extent possible, there should be concurrence on definitions and terminology.
In this report, the term "obese" refers to children and youth between the ages of 2 and 18 years who have BMIs equal to or greater than the 95th percentile of the age- and gender-specific BMI charts developed by CDC.1
To "prevent" means simply to take prior anticipatory action to hinder the occurrence of a course or event. Prevention efforts related to health traditionally have focused on preventing disease, particularly infectious disease. Conceptual frameworks have been developed that categorize health-related prevention efforts based on the segment of the population to which they are directed: the entire population (universal or population-based prevention); those who are at high risk of developing a disease (selective or high-risk prevention); or those who have a disease (targeted or indicated prevention) (Gordon, 1983; Rose, 1992; IOM, 1994; WHO, 2000).
Another traditional approach categorizes prevention according to disease progression: primary prevention involves avoiding the occurrence of a disease in a population; secondary prevention is aimed at early detection of the disease to limit its occurrence; and tertiary prevention is focused on limiting the consequences of the disease (DHHS, 2000).
A more recent framework conceptualizes a spectrum of prevention based on where—from the individual to the broader environment—the prevention actions are directed. Approaches include strengthening individual knowledge and skills, providing community education, educating
This definition is consistent with current CDC recommendations with the exception of the terminology. International references such as the International Obesity Task Force or Cole BMI values allow for cross-cultural comparisons. These references use different populations and slightly differing techniques for developing cut-off points (Flegal et al., 2001).

EAST CHICAGO | Raymond Cornett was 11 years old on the day his father was killed.
It was July 15, 1950.
Before that day, Cornett was a carefree kid who loved riding his red Rocket bicycle, attending Saturday matinees and playing hide and seek with friends near his East Chicago home. The death of Cornett's father, 34-year-old Major Cornett, shattered that idyllic lifestyle. Raymond Cornett was left to wonder why his dad wasn't coming home.
Sixty-two years later, Raymond Cornett's bicycle is gone, his hair has turned gray and the home he grew up in has been razed — but he's still wondering what happened to his father.
Cornett's pleas to public officials for information on Major Cornett's slaying have yielded nothing. No one can even tell Raymond Cornett whether anyone was charged for the crime that changed the course of his life.
Now he hopes a member of the public may remember details that time forgot.
Mysterious slaying
Major Cornett's body was discovered July 15, 1950, by an 18-year-old on his way to work at Inland Steel.
His body was found partially hidden in high weeds in an open prairie between Pennsylvania RR and Guthrie, east of Lincoln, in East Chicago, according to newspaper accounts from that time period. He lay in a crouched position, as though his body had been hurriedly dumped.
East Chicago police at the time said they believed someone murdered Cornett elsewhere -- then left his body in the isolated area. A deputy coroner said there was little blood at the scene.
Two silver dollars and four quarters were found near his body.
He was wearing expensive shoes, a brown gabardine suit and light tan shirt when he was found. Cornett also had no identification with him.
Marie Cornett, who was Major's wife and Raymond's mother, identified the body that afternoon. Marie Cornett told police she last saw her husband at 9 a.m. the day before he died -- when he dropped off some of his paycheck from Inland Steel.
An autopsy revealed Major Cornett had been stabbed twice in the heart and in the back, with the latter puncturing his lung. The deputy coroner at the time said Cornett's wounds were too big to be from a pocket knife and could have been inflicted by a butcher knife.
East Chicago detectives said they believed the killer may have been a friend of the victim.
About a month after Major Cornett's death, a newspaper article about crime in East Chicago noted his murder was unsolved — a detail that apparently remains true today.
The trail of records ended there.
Missed moments
Raymond Cornett said he remembers little of the days surrounding his dad's death.
He said he blocked out everything — including East Chicago police detectives informing his family, his father's funeral and his mother's grief.
"I was just old enough to have a relationship, and it ends," Cornett said. "It's a state of shock. You don't know what happened to you."
Shortly after his father's death, Raymond Cornett and his mother packed up their belongings and moved into a relative's house in Indianapolis. Cornett started school there in September 1950.
He and his mother rarely spoke of Major Cornett after the death.
They spent the rest of Raymond's adolescence moving from place to place, from relative's house to relative's house. Cornett said he never again felt that sense of belonging he'd experienced in East Chicago.
He also missed having a male figure to emulate. Cornett said the uncles he lived with over the years showed little interest in parenting another child.
So Cornett did what it took to graduate from high school, enlisted in the Navy, then married and had children. He rarely concerned himself with the past.
But memories of Major Cornett would come to Raymond in flashes — his father swinging him up on his shoulders, throwing a ball in the park or sitting together on the sidewalk in front of their home in East Chicago. Raymond Cornett said he wished his children had the chance to meet their grandfather.
It wasn't until last year that unanswered questions about Major Cornett's death began to haunt him, he said.
Raymond Cornett said he hates the thought of never knowing how his father's story ended.
In 2011, he went to the East Chicago Police Department for information on Major Cornett's murder, but the agency no longer had records on the case. East Chicago Police Chief Mark Becker told The Times the police department's records only go back to the early 1970s.
Cornett also went to the Lake County prosecutor's, clerk's and coroner's offices hoping they could provide answers, but every agency was a "dead end." The coroner's office only could provide a case number, and the prosecutor's and clerk's offices only could look up the case if Cornett had the name of a defendant charged with Major Cornett's death.
Until recently, Cornett knew only his father had been fatally stabbed. He still doesn't know whether anyone was charged or convicted for Major Cornett's murder.
Cornett said an employee in the Lake County prosecutor's office tried to find more information for him, even connecting him with a distant relative on ancestry.com. The Lake County prosecutor's office refused to allow The Times to speak with that employee this week.
Newspaper articles from that time period have shed more light on Major Cornett's death, and the distant relative told Raymond that his father had won money at a gambling hall the night before his death.
But those tidbits still don't provide the answers Cornett seeks.
Cornett said he can accept it if his father's death is a cold case. He can't accept not knowing the status of the case.
"I don't want to go on forever and ever and not know what exactly happened to my dad," he said.

Preventative Dentistry Specialist Covina California
www.premieresthetics.com Do you brush, floss and do everything the dentist asks of you and you still get cavities? If the answer is yes you should have a CAries Management By Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) evaluation. Caries risk assessment involves taking a thorough medical, dental and dietary history, dental radiographs, an oral and salivary examination, and the use of the advanced technology called the cariescreen susceptibility testing meter. Dental decay is caused by a bacterial infection called caries. Caries is a very complex bacterial infection of the bacterial layer adhered to the teeth called the biofilm. The infection begins when the environment in the mouth allows the bacteria responsible for the infection to get a strong foothold in the oral cavity and flourish. This infection can be transmitted from one person to another. The cariescreen susceptibility testing meter can within a minute assess a patients risk for the caries infection. This painless, quick test involves taking a sample of the plaque (bacteria) in a patient's mouth and testing it with the meter. Scores range between 0 to 9999. A score of 1500 or lower indicates relative health whereas a score over 1500 indicates considerable risk for decay. With this technology we are able to assess a patient's relative risk today as well as monitor a patient's progress towards health with subsequent follow-up tests while the patient follows the recommended protocols to help them decrease their risk to caries infection.

So, first I need to find something I would like to replicate, then figure out what stitches were used and where each stitch is in the work. This is the first time I have tried to do this, although I do modern crewel embroidery and counted cross stitch all the time. Consequently, any help you can offer would be deeply appreciated.

Ok I would like to explain something, I didn't create a text post slating Elly and Sammie, I really like them two, I don't know what happened, but Ive deleted the post, and I am appalled that someone would 'frame' me like that
-cailtin, it's clear I'm no longer welcome here, I don't want to be a burden on anybody, so goodbye, I'm sorry that shit has happened, but it wasn't me, and now people hate me for something I didn't do
So long, Farewell.
I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to both Elly and Sammie for the actions/words of certain people on this blog. I had no hand in it, and I certainly have no idea what is being gone on about.
With that being said, I am officially leaving Sessorumore. I do not wish to be affiliated with that kind of irrational hate. This blog has witnessed a considerable slow within the last few months, and though it was amusing to be part of, it really is an effort to stick around.
This was not an impulsive decision made through the exchange Caitlin had with Elly and Sammie, though it was the "last straw" so to speak. I still enjoyed the time I spent here in the beginning, and I am still willing to help out the followers with any questions they have should they direct it to my personal blog.

I tried the password again and it worked, I'm real confused
Anonymous asked: Nevermind Caitlin, she has got out of the shower and doesn't want to have sex now. Great.
I was about to answer it, but ok, I'm sorry

What's going on?
I got logged out earlier, it said the password was changed, then I get back online, and someone posted something claiming it was me having a go at you and sam s:
what the fuck? who's posting shit pretending to be me, ive deleted the post but shit.
Threesome fun!

man, if I thought a two-minute doodle of Sean Bean holding kittens would've been this popular, maybe I would've watermarked it.

S.H.I.E.L.D. will be written by Whedon and frequent collaborators, his brother Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen. Joss Whedon also is set to direct the pilot, schedule permitting.

in all my life, I have never encountered such an astounding act of trolling as the time I spent an hour and a half downloading what I thought was a Good Omens fanmix and then discovering that it was a Best of Queen album.
not at all, not at
all, not at all, not at all,
dear fucking god, no
I will never be able to understand those people who read a book, watch an entire television series, or see a movie and when it's over say that was good, continuing on with their daily lives, completely unaffected.
mike gave walt so many chances when he could've just put a bullet right in walt's head
and remember that story mike told walt about the last time he took a half measure and it ended up with that abused woman being killed
and then mike gets killed
because he took a half measure
innndy reblogged your post: babysansa: i'm going to pop a bottle of…block
why are you watching the show if you don't like walter just a quick question
Because Walter has fucking catapulted off the deep end and everything he does is reprehensible and we're not
supposed to like him at this point? Maybe?
Hasn't Vince G pretty much said that the entire point of the show is how a semi-decent-seeming guy descends into unbelievable awfulness?
Walter being reprehensible is a feature, not a bug.
Indeed. He even recently stated that the writers themselves do not actively root for Walt. He called his own main character a creep. Basically, if you're watching this show and you still support Walter's actions, you are watching it wrong.

Today, she is mine, and she has been washed free of the ties that bound her.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., sent a letter Friday to the chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce citing the derogatory nature of the word "redskins" and suggesting the committee use its influence to persuade team owner Dan Snyder and the NFL to change the name.
Waxman appears unlikely to get the hearing before the committee, which is chaired by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., and oversees professional sports.
"The committee really hasn't been focused on the names of pro sports teams," committee spokeswoman Charlotte Baker said Friday in an email, "and there are no plans to schedule a hearing on this issue."
Waxman pointed that Los Angeles Clippers owner Sterling's recent ban resulted from racist comments made in a private, then added: "In the case of the Washington football team, the offensive conduct is public, not private."
"Unlike NBA Commissioner (Adam) Silver, the commissioner of the National Football League, Roger Goodell, has publicly defended the owner," Waxman wrote. "In fact, he stated in a letter that 'the name is a unifying force that stands for strength, courage, pride and respect.'"
Waxman suggested the committee could call both Snyder and Goodell as witnesses to explain "how their actions are consistent with the public interest."
The Redskins declined comment on Waxman's letter. Snyder has vowed never to change the name, calling it a "badge of honor."

If you have a Traffic related question please see the:
> > Traffic Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of this site.
What is the Police Infringement Notice System (PINS)?
Tasmania Police has developed a mobile app, the Police Infringement Notice System (PINS), which issues infringement notices electronically via tablet computers.
PINS processes the infringement electronically and it is sent to the recipient by post.
PINS features include automatic retrieval of licence, registration details and the photograph of the licence holder for identity checks.
Officers will have the ability to perform identification validation and capture geo-location data. Checks for information on prior convictions can also be made.
PINS automatically inputs the appropriate penalty for the infringement, and has the capacity to add notes and take photos.
Infringement notices enable offences to be dealt with without a court appearance. Around 90,000 infringement notices are issued by Tasmania Police a year.
There will be significant efficiencies from PINS. It's anticipated that the savings in police time and paperwork will amount to 39 police hours a day, or $250,000 annually.
PINS can be used for most infringements, including:
> Traffic Offences
> Gaming Control Regulations
> Animal Welfare Offences
> Environmental Offences
> Liquor Offences
> Licensing Offences
> Litter Offences
> Parks and Wildlife offences
> Public Health Regulations
> Fisheries Offences, and
> Breathalyser Infringements.
When does the electronic infringement system start?
Some police areas will changeover from paper based infringements to the electronic application from 3 June 2014. It is expected to be rolled out statewide by mid-August 2014.
What if there is an error on the electronic infringement? Is it valid?
The likelihood of an error within an infringement is slight. Information is automatically retrieved from the DIER Motor Registry System. The app also provides assistance in selecting the type of infringement to be issued etc. However, errors in spelling, etc. will not render the infringement invalid.
What if I didn't get the posted infringement notice because I have moved, or not changed my address or the notice is lost?
The issuing officer will request the current address from a person who allegedly committed an offence and the infringement notice will be sent to that address. By law, a member of the public is required to provide an officer with their current name and address if an offence had allegedly been committed. Allow four days to receive the infringement notice in the mail. It is important to give your current address to the police officer at the time of the alleged offence. If you don't, this may result in further charges being laid. More information on infringement notices is available at the Monetary Penalties Enforcement Service website.
How do I apply for a Police History Record Check?
Information regarding police checks is available on the Police History Record Check section of this site.
How do I apply for a Firearms Licence?
Information regarding firearms licences and application processes are available on the Firearms section of this site.
How do I submit a Freedom of Information request. There are no details on this site.
On 1 July 2010, the Right to Information Act 2009 replaced the Freedom of Information Act 1991, providing for greater access to information held by government bodies. Further details are available on the Right to Information section of this site.
My property has been damaged and/or I have been the victim of a burglary.
My insurance company want a copy of the Offence Report. What should I do?
Offence Reports are managed within Tasmania Police by Information Services, Tasmania Police.
