Well, Donald --- It really is a strange year. The last handful of TBs in
my home gardens are blooming their last, when here comes another stalk of
STEALTH FIGHTER, which has been blooming for a month! Then, as I head for
the house mumbling about that, what do I see but SDB sdlg 20A9 about to
open! Okay, I knew it was a rebloomer, but in the fall, not now! CAREFREE
DAYS is a mid-late bloomer here, but its look-alike, LINGERING TOUCH, has
been taking curtain call after curtain call here and will be, along with
LAVENDER INTERLUDE, the last thing blooming in the garden. -- Griff

Out of the ruins of the hail, here comes a stalk. In this case it's
Griff's CAREFREE DAYS. Experience tells me that under my conditions and
high temps, it will dry up. So far, though, it's looking good. This stalks
would be well past bloom in a normal year, so it qualifies as repeat bloom.
The stalk is from an increase on the rhizome, so I think it's mine and not
something set under Griff's growing conditions. I sure hope his are more
congenial than mine.

Despite what the name and teetering shade may suggest, the mushroom-shaped Wobbelhead Lamp isn't merely a play on bobbling ballplayers or stadium memorabilia. Created by Norwegian designers Morten & Jonas, the elegant beechwood and blown glass lamp, steadied by a hidden magnet, is more about exuding personality. According to Morten Skjærpe Knarrum, the slightly tapered, occasionally teetering, and slightly off-balance piece is meant to add a touch of humor to industrial design.
"The idea was to make people curious about the shape," says Knarrum. "We wanted to give it some personality. You can see where the lamp goes into the lamp shade, so it makes people wonder how it all fits together. You want to create a ten-second break from daily life, a design that makes you sit back and observe."
The organic shape of the Wobbel Head fits in well with the rest of the duo's body of work, an array of playful, boldly colored furniture and objects that started when the friends from the Bergen Academy of Art & Design began collaborating in 2009. They both hope this recent prototype, which they showed at Milan last month, does find a steady backer and an upcoming production run.
During the course of his career writing about music and design, Patrick Sisson has made Stefan Sagmeister late for a date and was scolded by Gil Scott-Heron for asking too many questions. His work has appeared in Pitchfork, Nothing Major, Wax Poetics, Stop Smiling and Chicago Magazine.

Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
Many families and children that Tateni works with are caught in the "poverty-trap" fuelled by ignorance, feelings of helplessness and poor life style patterns. This condition is transferred from generation to generation.
To make a difference to people's lives that is sustainable, the cycle of poverty must be broken. With this in mind, Tateni launched an initiative that goes beyond caring for the sick, vulnerable and poor through its exiting home-based and child care services. It is a strategic intervention aimed at assisting some of the most vulnerable households, as well as the most gifted children in poor households that are on Tateni´s client list, to break free from those forces keeping them locked into poverty. This is done via the "Breaking the Cycle of Poverty" Program that aims at providing psychosocial support, child and family counseling, career guidance, extra classes and skill development for participants.
In order to meet the objectives and targets of the Program, Tateni provides the following:
- Home-based care and support for the chronically and terminally ill
- Promotion of community awareness through campaigns
- Social care and support for HIV/AIDS orphans and vulnerable children
- Manage Drop-in Centers for orphan and vulnerable children
- Do referrals for child support grants and shelters
- Supply food parcels to those waiting for social grants
- Educational programmes for out of school beneficiaries to assist them to complete school level qualifications and to offer them career counseling
- pro bono services
- Serving as a channel through which people can give to the needy
- Creating platforms on which people can render volunteer services
- Forming coalitions and collaborations with other community, business or corporate service providers
- Requesting for "Give As You Earn" donations for which Tateni is authorised
- Capacity building for staff through workshops and courses
Extra Classes for Learners
Tateni offers three Saturday classes a month to more than 200 grade ten and eleven students three high schools. Classes run from 08:00 - 14:00 and a meal is provided at 11:00.(Unfortunately, the number of learners had to be cut from 260 to 200 because of a lack of resources, and quality maths, science and accounting teachers.) Learners are not only taught an academic curriculum, but also life skills dealing with topics such as safe sex, respect, morals and values, peer pressure, bullying, substance abuse and coping skills. Role models and motivational speakers are invited to encourage and motivate learners to focus on school work; For two weeks during the winter holidays we zoom in on maths and science. Learners are given revision from the beginning of the year to help them pass their exams at the end of the year. The other objective of holiday classes is to occupy their time and stimulate learning, so as to prevent children from otherwise wandering around and becoming easy prey for drug lords and other criminals.
Some of the immediate needs for which contributions and sponsorships are required include:strong>
- Teachers and tutors for maths, physical science and accounting
- Catering for 240 learners for two Saturdays a month, as well as 10 days in the June school holidays
- Overhead projectors
- Mentors and coaches
- Psychologists
- Motivational speakers
Tateni wishes to acknowledge the generous sponsorship of Unisa's College of Education for the Saturday classes as well as the school holiday camps. We also thank the Association of Black Securities and Investment Professionals (ABSIP) who pledged additional finances and resources to include more learners during the June school holidays.
Motivational talk Students at Vlakfontein High School
Alleviating Poverty and Hunger through Education
The problems faced by the community (e.g. poor matric results, teenage pregnancies, drug and alcohol abuse, and a high rate of school drop outs) cannot be solved by teachers alone. Children must be provided with the psychological strength to be able to cope with all kinds of pressure by the time they reach high school and continue making them believe in themselves, that they can be achievers and excel in their studies no matter what the challenges. They need consistent mentoring and guidance as well as good role models. We need to work hand in hand with teachers to identify and reward good effort and outstanding performance at an early age.
Although Tateni already have Drop-in Centers where vulnerable children are fed a full meal after school, most of them go back to "empty" homes where they are raised by single parents or extended family members who are mostly unemployed and illiterate, and cannot deal with modern day teenage problems and challenges. There is seldom anyone encouraging them to study or to help with homework. Children often have to do a lot of housework like cleaning, cooking and taking care of other siblings. Such an environment is not conducive to studying and can negatively affect children psychologically.
Facing these challenges, Tateni responded by expanding their involvement in the community by looking at ways of eradicating poverty and alleviating hunger. Tateni is working on an action plan (with clear reporting structures, objectives and monitoring channels) to address this, and staff is already getting the necessary training. This is the largest project that the organization is embarking on, its more pro-active and long overdue.
What Tateni hopes to achieve is to see most of the children of Mamelodi not only finish high school with good grades, but also having chosen subjects that will see them follow good careers. We want to encourage those that have dropped out of high school to go back to school, and those who passed with poor grades to do Saturday or night school so that they can improve subjects and be helped with employment or tertiary education. Education is the foundation for reversing the cycle of poverty.
Some of the immediate needs for which contributions or sponsorships are required include:
- School uniforms and sports gear (R700 a year buys a jersey, shoes, underwear and two shirts for a child)
- Extra lessons for children with learning challenges (e.g. offering Saturday school, or computer lessons)
- Books
- Stationery
- Mentors and role models (e.g. "big brothers and sister")

Statistics in Language Studies by Anthony Woods
Book DescriptionThis book demonstrates the contribution that statistics can and should make to linguistic studies. The range of work to which statistical analysis is applicable is vast: including, for example, language acquisition, language variation and many aspects of applied linguistics. The authors give a wide variety of linguistic examples to demonstrate the use of statistics in summarising data in the most appropriate way, and then making helpful inferences from the processed information. The range of techniques introduced by the book will help the reader both to evaluate and make use of literature which employs statistical analysis, and to apply statistics in their own research. Each chapter gives step-by-step explanations of particular techniques using examples from a number of fields, and is followed by extensive exercises. The early part of the book provides a thorough grounding in probability and statistical inference, and then progresses through methods such as chi-squared and analysis of variance, to multivariate methods such as cluster analysis, principal components analysis and factor analysis. None of these techniques requires the reader to have a grasp of mathematics more complex than simple algebra. Students and researchers in many fields of linguistics will find this book an invaluable introduction to the use of statistics, and a practical text for the development of skills in the application of statistics.

DescriptionF1 Circus Special is a Formula 1 racing game.

There are twenty courses altogether in the game. The cars are modeled after real ones, their brand names slightly changed for copyright reasons. It is possible to customize brakes, tires, gears, wings, and other attributes of the car, or choose the "easy setting", which selects these parameters according to optimal speed or handling of the car.

Planesrunner (Everness Series #1)by Ian McDonald, Barbara Ehrenreich
There is not one you. There are many yous. There is not one world. There are many worlds. Ours is one of billions of parallel earths.

There is not one you. There are many yous. There is not one world. There are many worlds. Ours is one of billions of parallel earths.
When Everett Singh's scientist father is kidnapped from the streets of London, he leaves young Everett a mysterious app on his computer. Suddenly, this fourteen-year-old has become the owner of the most valuable object in the multiverse-the Infundibulum-the map of all the parallel earths, and there are dark forces in the Ten Known Worlds who will stop at nothing to get it. They've got power, authority, and the might of ten planets-some of them more technologically advanced than our Earth-at their fingertips. He's got wits, intelligence, and a knack for Indian cooking.
To keep the Infundibulum safe, Everett must trick his way through the Heisenberg Gate his dad helped build and go on the run in a parallel Earth. But to rescue his Dad from Charlotte Villiers and the sinister Order, this Planesrunner's going to need friends. Friends like Captain Anastasia Sixsmyth, her adopted daughter Sen, and the crew of the airship Everness.
Can they rescue Everett's father and get the Infundibulum to safety? The game is afoot! (For ages 12 & up)
Editorial Reviews
-Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"I am totally into this book. It's cool, it's fun, and it's exciting. Hanging out with this book makes me feel a little cooler and a little smarter. Plus, I feel like I'm dating the kind of book I always want to date."
-Forever Young Adult
"Chock-full of awesome. Ian McDonald's steampunk London blazes on a vast scale with eyepopping towers, gritty streets, and larger-than-life characters who aren't afraid to fight for each other. The kind of airship-dueling, guns-blazing fantasy that makes me wish I could pop through to the next reality over, join the Airish, and take to the skies."
-Paolo Bacigalupi author of Ship Breaker
"McDonald writes with scientific and literary sophistication, as well as a wicked sense of humor. Add nonstop action, eccentric characters, and expert universe building, and this first volume of the Everness series is a winner."
-Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Smashing adventure fiction that spans the multiverse without ever losing its cool or its sense of style. McDonald is one of the greats of science fiction, and his young adult debut is everything you could hope for: romantic, action-packed, wildly imaginative, and full of heart."
-Cory Doctorow, author of For the Win
"Planesrunner is not only excellent YA SF . . . but is simply good SF in a way which almost reinvents, and possibly makes addictive, the old parallel-universe trope. It's fun."

Prometheus BooksCopyright © 2011 Ian McDonald
All right reserved.
Chapter OneThe car was black. Black body shell, black wheels, black bumpers, black windows. The rain sat on its shiny skin like drops of black oil. A black car on a black night. Everett Singh zipped his jacket up to his chin and flipped up his hood against the cold wind and watched the black car crawl behind his dad, pedalling his bicycle up the Mall. It was a bad bike night. Tree branches lashed and beat. Wind is the cyclist's enemy. The Institute for Contemporary Arts' nonreligious seasonal decorations flapped and rattled. Everett had noticed that every year when Hackney Council put up their Winterval lanterns, a storm would arrive and blow them down again. He had suggested that they put them up a week later. They hadn't even acknowledged his email. This year the storm blew as it blew every year and the decorations were scattered the length of the High Street. Everett Singh noticed things like that: patterns, behaviours, connections, and coincidences.
That was how Everett noticed the car. It hadn't pulled out to skim aggressively past Tejendra on his bike. It kept a slow, steady pace behind him. London cars didn't do that, not with bikes, certainly not on a cold wet Monday night on a rainy Mall ten days before Christmas. His dad wouldn't have noticed it. Once Tejendra got going on his bike, he didn't notice anything. Tejendra had started biking after the split with Everett's mum. He said it was quicker, he had less of a carbon footprint, and it kept him fit. Everett reported this to Divorcedads.com. The site had started as a well-meaning web space where "kids could network about the pain of parental split-up." The kids arrived and turned it into a forum for swapping embarrassing dad stories. The opinion of the forum was that buying a full-suspension mountain bike for four thousand pounds when the steepest thing you ever rode over was a speed bump was typical of dads when they split up. Slipped-nott wondered why he couldn't have bought a Porsche like everyone else. Because my dad's not like everyone else, Everett commented back.
Other dads named their sons after footballers or relatives or people on television. Tejendra named his after a dead scientist. Other dads took their sons to Pizza Express after the football. Tejendra created "cuisine nights" at his new apartment. After every Tottenham home game, he and Everett would cook a feast from a different country. Tejendra liked cooking Thai. Everett was good at Mexican. And other dads took their sons to laser quest or karting or surf lessons. Tejendra took Everett to lectures at the Institute for Contemporary Arts on nanotechnology and freaky economics and what would happen when the oil ran out. It was cool with Everett Singh. Different was never boring.
Here came Tejendra, pushing up the Mall, head down into the wind and the rain, in full fluorescents and flashers and reflectors and Lycra with the big black German car behind him. Punjabi dads should not wear Lycra, Everett thought. He put up his arm to wave. The glow-tubes he'd knotted through the cuffs traced bright curves in the air. Tejendra looked up, waved, wobbled. He was a terrible cyclist. He was almost going backwards in the wind howling down from Constitution Hill. Why didn't the black car go round him? It couldn't have been doing more than ten kilometres per hour. There it went now. It pulled out with a deep roar, then cut in across Tejendra and stopped. Tejendra veered, braked, almost fell.
"Dad!" Everett shouted.
Three men got out of the car. They were dressed in long dark coats. Everett could see Tejendra was about to yell at them. The men were very quick and very sure. One of them wrenched Tejendra's right arm behind his back. A second bundled him into the backseat. The third man picked up the fallen bicycle, opened the boot and threw it in. Doors slammed shut, the black car pulled back into traffic. Very quick, very sure. Everett stood stunned, his arm still raised to wave. He was not sure he could believe what he had seen. The black car accelerated towards him. Everett stepped back under the arcade along the front of the ICA. The glow tubes, the stupid glow tubes, were like a lighthouse. Everett pulled out his phone. The car swept past him. Tejendra was a patch of fluorescent yellow behind the darkened windows. Everett stepped out and shot a photograph, two photographs, three, four. He kept shooting until the black car vanished into the traffic wheeling around the Victoria Memorial.
Something. He must do something. But Everett couldn't move. This must be what shock felt like. Posttraumatic stress. So many actions he could take. He imagined himself running after the black car, running at full pelt up the rainy Mall, tailing the black car through the rush hour. He could never catch it. It had too much of a lead. The city was too big. He couldn't run that far, that long, that fast. Maybe he could stop a taxi, tell it to follow that car. Tejendra had told him once that every taxi driver longed to be told that. Even if he could ever track the black car through the London traffic, what did he think he could do against three big men who had lifted his father as lightly as a kitten? That was comics stuff. There were no superheroes. He could ask the people huddling under umbrellas, collars turned up, arriving for a public talk on nanotechnology: Did you see that? Did you? He could ask the door staff in their smart shirts. They were too busy meeting and greeting. They wouldn't have seen anything. Even if they had, what could they do? So many wrong actions, but what was the right thing, the one right thing? In the end there was one right thing to do. He hit three nines on his phone.
"Hello? Police? My name's Everett Singh. I'm at the ICA on the Mall. My dad has just been kidnapped."

Planesrunner by Ian McDonald (2011) I liked a lot of things about the basic premise of this story. It seemed to have a lot of potential--a book about many worlds and a device to navigate them? Cool! A thoughtful main character who likes to cook and play video games? Rad. De facto diversity? Awesome! Even with some fairly obvious hints to Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld and the TV shows Sliders and Stargate, Planesrunner sounded like a good time. Unfortunately this one never quite hit the mark. MacDonald seemed to have an idea of what a teen narrator should do and think and seemed to be checking marks off as Everett does all of these strange things in the narrative with random sound effects and a really annoying habit of providing a nickname for literally every character Everett meets. I tend to be wary of adult authors trying to transition into YA writing because more often than not something gets lost on the way as if the author is so used to writing older characters that they are unsure how to transition. I really felt that here. Everett's behaviors and decisions were very erratic--either too mature or too immature for his given age. Uneven pacing and odd writing choices made for an uneasy read. The plot picked up significantly in the second half but problems remained as the story continued to feel like two books slapped together. What I mean is there is a very clear direction in the first half of the story and then priorities and focus shift very suddenly in the second half. (Speaking of the second half, McDonald also includes Pallari in the latter part of the novel which is really interesting but requires a lot of glancing at the dictionary in the back.) I can see this book appealing to fans of pure science fiction as the plot here hits all the marks. Fans of A Confusion of Princes may also see some appeal here. That said, Planesrunner isn't the smoothest read and it isn't always easy to connect with Everett though I'm sure readers who finish the story will be rewarded and likely look forward to continuing with the series.
Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember Everett describing it as 'electropunk' (or something similar), not steampunk. (Also, this is one of my favorite books, and more people should read it!)
Omg! This book is amazing! Seriously, I loved it. From the time spent in Everette Singh's home world, to the time spent in the other parallel, I adored every minute of it. The story just picked up from the beginning and kept me drawn in 'til the last page. I'll try to go into detail without spoiling it; obviously I will try to do all of this while containing my excitement. J The story itself reminded me a little of the television show, Sliders, endless amounts of other Earths in parallel universes. All of them different, some with just a slight change other so different they are unrecognizable. Great premise for a show, great premise for a book too. Of course the similarities in the story pretty much end with the whole idea of parallel universes (but it still brought to mind Sliders). The mechanics behind world travel made sense in the context of the story. Moreover, I really loved the amount of detail the author gave. Especially the little tidbits involving how the different worlds had evolved, where they splintered off from each other, and then the details of the worlds themselves. I felt like I was there in all the Londons right alongside Sen and Everette. The descriptions were immaculate, even how McDonald describes the gulls. "…Gulls rose up…crying in their dead-soul voices." A very apt description of Sea Gulls I must say. I must note I had a slight problem with some of the Airish slang. Not the fact that it annoyed me simply that I sometimes had to stop for a minute to figure out from the context of the conversation what was actually happening or being said. Some words took me a few times to truly decipher, but overall – once I adjusted – the slang just added more texture and flavor to Sen's London. It really helped to show even more of a difference between Sen's world and Everettes. Plus, in the back of the book was a neat little extra showing where Airish slang came from and its ties to the real London in our world. While this book can be enjoyed by adults, I think is also good choice for younger readers. As I said before the book drew me in and didn't let me back out until the very last page. It is open ended, not a sheer drop cliffhanger, but you know that there is going to be more, so much more to the story. Only a few problems have been solved, many more have been created. Still I think the book is worth picking up, and I can't wait 'til the next book in the series comes out. Fingers crossed it's sometime soon! I give this one 5 out of 5! ~'til next time all you palones and omis be sure to stay bona! Originally Reviewed at:Mother/Gamer/Writer Reviewer: AimeeKay
This is faster paced than McDonald's adult science fiction with enough meat on its bones so that adults will find it enjoyable,too. I liked the quirky characters and the vividly portrayed "steampunk" London (made real enough that I wanted to visit it). First in a series, and when the book ended, I wanted it to go on.
You cant add a gear here and some rust there and call it steampunk. Steampunk is based off of the Victorian Age, which is very much looked past when thinking about the aspects of steampunk.

These youth do not usually possess the skills to earn livelihoods given their limited education and means. UNDP is therefore providing garment manufacturing skills to help them find work in garment-related trades, although the majority of young women and men continue to struggle to find employment. SMEDA and UNDP are responding to this challenge by helping young people become self-employed.

Well I came home to no internet service last night..... (tower was down)
Also been running and shopping and socializing and no gardening!....
Hoping this week will be more internet friendly. Trying to catch up on
some messages tonight before I fall asleep on the keyboard LOL!
I did attend a sale at Bachmans Imports this morning. Bought a ton of
junk and it all didn't fit into my SUV, so friend has three things in
her van to drop off tomorrow here.
They had a nice assortment of unique planter pots.... so I of course,
had to buy them. Don't have clue where I am going to use them at...
For those not familiar with Bachmans, they supply fine garden centers
and florists with all the pots and dried flowers and junk around here.
They were having a 50% off 'wholesale' prices along with buy one, get
one free. Yeah that's right, buy one at half off and get another of
equal value for free.... Love those sales! They only open this warehouse
to the public like three times a year and I try to always go.....

This garden is a perfect example of a pre-Revolutionary War garden.
The tour of the William Paca house and gardens is really informative and interesting to learn about the Paca's and Annapolis.
The William Paca House Garden is actually several gardens in one, with formal sections separated by hedges. In winter the holly section is particularly pleasant and the boxwood section nearby provides a pleasing aroma. If you visit in spring or summer the flower sections (roses, annuals) should be very pleasant. The herb section has a very large and old rosemary...
I LOVE this location! It's a five-part Georgian historic home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence built in 1763, filled with period artifacts including Charles Willson Peale paintings and John Shaw furniture. The docents are extremely knowledgeable and tell great stories about both local and national history, as well as the lives of wealthy Annapolitans, indentured and convict...
Enjoyed learning about the history associated with this building and grounds. The tour was interesting & informative. The garden was very nice - a great visit! I would recommend adding to your itinerary!
The garden is behind one of three historic houses open for visits in downtown historic Annapolis; the other two are the Hammond Harwood House and the Chase-Lloyd House. The guide we had was knowledgeable and interesting.
We've attended a few events at the Paca House over the years, but just recently stopped in as we had an hour to kill before heading to something. It was a sleepy Monday afternoon and I was with my first-grade daughter. We just happened to catch a tour—and how lucky we were! Our guide was previously a history teacher—and made...
I stopped by here on a Sunday and the tour was okay. The gardens are lovely, but the house is fine. The guide was a bit patronizing and was a bit too heavy of a emphasis on the American revolution and less about the house itself.
We visited William Paca House and Garden on a beautiful Monday in October. The garden was tremendous - a fabulous restoration of an exquisite colonial garden. We happily paid the AAA discounted rate of $9 each for the full-house tour. The tour was given by a well-spoken woman who was both knowledgeable and appreciative of this really interesting property. We...
The gardens are really lovely unless they are ruined by a wedding tent but you can still walk around and see the area. We also took a tour of the historic home and learned a lot about the Paca family and 18th century Annapolis. I highly recommend if you want to experience some history instead of shopping the day away.
The WIlliam Paca house is a nice example of a period house with lots of Paca-owned furniture and artifacts. The tour was particularly good because of the knowledge and personality of the docent, a former history teacher (whose name I forgot - sorry).

Epilepsy Health Center
Epilepsy: Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures - Topic Overview
Generalized tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures are the easiest seizures to recognize. They happen most often in people with generalized epilepsy of unknown cause.
A generalized tonic-clonic seizure begins with a sudden loss of consciousness. During the first 15 to 30 seconds of the seizure, the entire body stiffens as the muscles contract. The back and neck are arched. Sometimes the person may cry out as the vocal cords contract and air is released from the lungs. The person may turn blue because he or she isn't breathing. This is the tonic phase of the seizure.
Recommended Related to Epilepsy
Important It is possible that the main title of the report Dravet Syndrome Spectrum is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Read the Dravet Syndrome Spectrum article > >
During the next 30 to 45 seconds, the muscles jerk (convulse) in a rhythmic pattern. This is the clonic phase of the seizure. While the muscles are jerking, the person may bite his or her tongue or lose bladder or bowel control.
An entire seizure lasts 1 to 2 minutes. After the seizure, the person will be unresponsive at first but will gradually wake up in 10 to 30 minutes. The person may be sleepy, confused, or dazed. The person may also feel tired, weak, or moody and may have a headache and muscle aches for the next 24 hours.

Two major conclusions can be drawn from Andrew Rawnsley's book on Gordon Brown. The first, which might seem unexpected, is that Mr Brown should be pitied. Mr Rawnsley describes glimmers of self-knowledge, indeed cries of anguish, as the Prime Minister realises that he has spent 13 years brooding and plotting and bullying his way to a job which he simply cannot do. The second is that he simply cannot do it.
Any decent person will be enraged to read of Gordon Brown's bestial treatment of those who have the misfortune to work for him in No 10. The most demanding employer who ever lived would have difficulty in finding fault with the Downing Street staff. The switchboard and the garden girls (secretaries) are not just good. They are awe-inspiringly outstanding. They combine cheerfulness, spontaneous helpfulness and a level of efficiency that would impress an RSM in the Guards – and did impress Margaret Thatcher, which was never easy.
Her premiership was perpetually stressful. She was capable of venting some of that on others, but only if they could answer back. During her 11 and a half years in No 10, not only was she never rude to secretaries, drivers, messengers, or telephonists; she was always considerate.
That could not be said of Churchill. During the Second World War, some transport arrangement went awry. It was in no way the driver's fault. This did not save him from a prime ministerial rocketing. When Churchill had stumped off harrumping, Anthony Eden went over to console the driver. "Don't worry, Sir," came the reply: "After all, it's not everyone who can say they've been blown up by the Great Man in person." Eden's reply was heartfelt: "Don't you believe it.".
Churchill's lapses do not excuse Gordon Brown's chronic brutishness. Like Mrs Thatcher, Churchill could be impossible (see the Alanbrooke War Diaries). Like her, he achieved the impossible. However infuriating both leaders could be, those who served them knew that they were acolytes to greatness. It was the most exhilarating period of their working lives.
Not many people are saying that about Mr Brown. A blend of Heathcliff, Lear on the heath and Frankenstein's monster, his vile treatment of his officials should be kept constantly in mind, especially when he next prates on about his values and the decencies which he absorbed during his childhood in the manse. Anyone who can talk about values and behave like Gordon Brown deserves a Pulitzer Prize for hypocrisy. Criminals are serving prison sentences for less morally culpable behaviour.
Apropos of culpability, the Blairites are to blame. There is a parallel with Eden. During Churchill's last government, when Eden was the inevitable successor, a number of senior Tories knew that Anthony would cock it up. They did not know quite how; they did know that he would find a way. But they could not think of an alternative. For Eden, read Gordon Brown; for senior Tories in the early Fifties, read Blairites from 1997 onwards. Indeed, the comparison is unfair to Eden, who had served with distinction in the wartime government and who was never nearly as impossible as Mr Brown.
The Blairites knew that Gordon could not do the job. They had all witnessed the scenes which Andrew Rawnsley and others have described. An educationalist comes in to brief Tony Blair. Gordon Brown hears about this, and is angry. He is supposed to be in charge of the domestic agenda. So why is Tony Blair talking to educationalists? Who does he think he is: the Prime Minister?
A compromise is reached. The briefing will take place, but Mr Brown will be present, with Ed Balls. The educationalist starts talking, and so does Mr Brown, to Mr Balls. Taken aback, the visitor stops. Mr Blair looks embarrassed, and signals the chap to continue. He does; so do Messrs Brown and Balls. Was there ever a more demeaning scene in a prime minister's study?
So why did Tony Blair put up with behaviour that would be regarded as unacceptable in a nursery school? We know that he did occasionally think in terms of sacking Gordon Brown, but that he could never quite summon up the nerve to do so. Praising her deputy, Willie Whitelaw, Margaret Thatcher said that every prime minister needed a Willie. It may be that Mr Blair needed a Balls. It may also be that Tony Blair lacked the courage to face Brown down because he was ultimately unconfident of his own political identity. Mr Brown never seemed to lack that certainty, even if it was based on sociopathic solipsism.
Yeats had the title for the Brown Premiership: The Circus Animals' Desertion. Jack Straw is by no means the worst Cabinet minister of the last 13 years. For most of the time, he has been a safe pair of hands, although when it came to the big issues, he usually lived up to his name. He has always seemed to be the personification of loyalty. Yet we learn from Mr Rawnsley that even he was conspiring against Gordon Brown. Mr Brown retains the affection of Ed Balls: judge the owner by his dog. The same is probably true of Shaun Woodward; no one else would have promoted him to the Cabinet. But who else in the Brown Cabinet respects or likes their PM? Read Andrew Rawnsley, and you will understand why.
Even so, the Tories must be careful in their response. Although the Rawnsley revelations could cause an implosion, the Cameron team would be unwise to count on this, or to rely on negative campaigning. To be fair to the Tories, there has not been much in the way of negativity thus far, yet that is bound to change as electioneering gains momentum.
The Queensberry rules have never applied to politics, but low blows require deftness and wit. In the 1992 election campaign, Chris Patten deployed both, at Neil Kinnock's expense. Mr Patten always got the tone right. That is important. Though most voters insist that they do not like it when politicians slag each other off, they do not mind it when they can have a good laugh. Nor do they respect the person whom they have been laughing at. The Tories should aim at gentle mockery, in which the gentleness disarms the listeners while the mockery sticks.
Gordon Brown deserves no gentleness. But he has now created his legacy. He is the first Prime Minister whose staff have complained to the national bullying hotline.

This review is from: Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 2.5" 60GB SATA III Asynchronous MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDCR60GB
Pros: It is blazing fast! I have the SSD as the main disk for Mac OSX 10.8, and a 2 TB 7200rpm internal for storage. I was surprised that it opens apps that are stored in the HD in seconds! I have Maya, which normally opens in 20-30 seconds on a normal 7200rpm HD, and it opens on the SSD in about 5 seconds. What surprised me the most was that Maya is stored on the HD, not the SSD.
Again, it is small, but it's what I paid for.
Installation was a snap. I haven't had it for long, but I am glad I grabbed it now.
Cons: None that I can tell.READ FULL REVIEW

It's easy to walk right by La Chapincita without noticing that this Guatemalan market also houses a little kitchen. But one Chowhound ventured inside, followed his nose past the groceries in front, and was rewarded with satisfying home-style cooking, notably a spicy turkey stew. The daily-changing steam-table spread might also include beef and vegetable soups, whole fried fish, and chicken pepián in pumpkin-seed sauce, all served with rice and small, thick house-made tortillas.

Recurrent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) after transplantation is a highly prevalent condition where rituximab (a monoclonal antibody against CD20) may have a potential indication. Besides CD20, rituximab has been shown to bind sphingomyelin-phosphodiesterase-like-3b-precursor (SMPDL-3b) and to regulate acid-sphyngomyelinase (ASMase). We tested the hypothesis that rituximab prevents recurrent FSGS after transplantation via preservation of podocyte SMPDL-3b expression and activity. Our preliminary study in 41 patients at high risk for recurrent FSGS demonstrated that rituximab treatment was associated with lower incidence of post-transplant proteinuria and with decreased eGFR. The number of SMPDL-3b positive cells in post-reperfusion biopsies was reduced in patients that would later develop recurrent disease. Rituximab partially prevented the SMPDL-3b down-regulation observed in podocytes treated with the sera of affected patients. Both rituximab and SMPDL-3b overexpression prevented the disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and the apoptosis induced by patient sera, an effect that was diminished in cells where SMPDL- 3b gene was silenced. Quantitative analysis of the disruption of stress fibers in vitro was associated with the degree of post-transplant proteinuria, suggesting the possibility of developing a prediction assay for recurrent FSGS. Our University offers one of the best clinical grounds for the recruitment of a large population of patients with FSGS. We propose to utilize a pilot study in all patients with primary FSGS who undergo kidney transplantation as a feeder for the experimental studies. We will collect clinical data that will serve as secondary exploratory analyses. Post-reperfusion kidney biopsies and pre-transplant sera will be collected per protocol in patients randomized to receive rituximab or placebo. SMPDL-3b expression in kidney biopsies and in cultured podocytes exposed to patient sera will be utilized to study disease mechanisms and to perform association studies with clinical outcomes. Cell cytoskeleton remodeling, cell viability, traditional slit diaphragm proteins expression and localization and cellular lipid composition will be utilized to study if rituximab protects podocytes in a SMPDL-3b dependent manner. Our study is highly significant because it has strong clinical implications, since it may lead to a change in the approved indications for rituximab treatment of FSGS as well as other proteinuric diseases. The proposed study is innovative because it will offer new insights into the role of shyngomyelin related enzymes in podocyte function, thus allowing the identification of novel targets for antiproteinuric drug development. Finally, our in vitro assay treating normal human podocytes with patient sera may become a pre-transplant assessment test for the identifications of patients at high-risk.
Our study proposes to investigate a novel mechanism by which rituximab, an antibody that has been developed to target B-lymphocyte for the cure of lymphoma, may directly protect podocytes, the kidney cells affected in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a prevalent glomerular disorder that affects both pediatric and young adult patients and that recurs after kidney transplantation in a high percentage of patients. With this proposal, we will utilize patient's kidney biopsies and pre-transplantation sera to characterize new mechanisms responsible for the recurrence of FSGS after transplantation and to define the molecular mechanisms by which rituximab may protect podocyte function. Our study may lead to a novel clinical indication for rituximab~ it may also unveil novel targets for antiproteinuric drug development, and may lead to the development of an assay for the pre-transplant identifications of patients at risk for recurrent disease.
