Back in the early days of this blog (I'm talking pre-kids here people) I used to do a post on Mondays that summed up our weekend...in pictures. I know, it was hard to figure that out from the title of this post. I'm tricky like that.
So this weekend...it was our annual trek to Alexandria for the Scottish Christmas Walk. I love this tradition, we've gone every year but one for the last six years, and that was only because Jack was a wee little three week old baby and there was a snow storm.
It was pretty darn cold this year, but the sun was shining and the parade was a great time!
Sunday came even colder with a forecast of snow and ice. Luckily we mostly got the snow part of the forecast here.
To say the boys were excited would be a serious understatement. They couldn't wait to suit up and head out into the snow.
We threw snowballs and ate snow until we couldn't feel our toes, and then we came inside and had the Nerf battle to end all Nerf battles. The boys and I versus Dadddy. It was pretty incredible.
As I tucked Jack into bed last night after his third trip to the bathroom, he hugged my neck and said "Mommy, I loved shooting Daddy tonight."
Me too buddy, me too.

Pregnant for the First Time? Your Cyber Main Gay Has You Covered!
Baby Genius pediatrician Dr. Janesta Noland and Harvey Helms chat preggo-girl tips — from fitness to fashion!
-Harvey Helms
"OH!!! What a cute baby! Well that's the prettiest baby I've ever seen! You must be soooo proud!" Then suddenly you come out of the dream and you realize that your alarm clock is sounding. You also remember that your home pregnancy test you peed on last night before sleep was positive. So were the next two you peed on to make sure. You're pregnant for the first time. Excited. Nervous. This is new territory. Baby territory. Now it's not just about you any more. What will the next nine months be like? No glass of wine or hair color? UGH!! You've seen friends and family experience the miracle of birth. But you've also seen the stretch marks, the unhighlighted hair, and a host of other goodies that happen before junior pops out and says "Hello" for the first time.
Don't be frightened, my expectant one! Your Cyber Main Gay has consulted Baby Genius pediatrician Dr. Janesta Noland. She has three little ones herself so she's "been there done that!"
I met her for coffee at Peet's and immediately went to the alcohol and hair color issue before we took our first sip of caffeine! Dr. Noland told me that the she had a girlfriend do a "French Pregnancy"- Stinky cheese and a glass of wine once a day. She said her baby was okay . . . BUT . . . it's best to stay away from alcohol and hair color to be on the safe side.
"Think about everything that might go into your bloodstream, since that goes directly to the baby without filtration. Mercury from seafood. Even nail color!" She even said, "Don't be exposed to the fumes from painting the baby's nursery!"
Wow this baby stuff is hard core! Check out this link for more info: americanpregnancy.org/isitsafe/hairtreatments.html. Look at all the facts and make decisions that are right for you and your baby.
One point Dr. Noland kept stressing was to stay fit! It might not make your delivery easier but it will shorten your recovery time and get you back to pre-pregnancy weight faster! Yay! You can still do baby yoga!
The best news was that Dr. Noland says you need to have relaxing massages and sleep as often as possible! Also, your prenatal vitamins do incredible things for your hair and nails!
Now, I know your head is spinning, Precious. So many things to consider! Baby health is priority #1. Well, let's think about it. It's only nine months. We've done diets that take longer than that! Some temporary changes are in order though. While Dr. Noland's job is to keep you and your baby healthy, my job is to keep you fabulous during this miraculous period of your life!
So, let's start with fashion…

Light rain dominated the 90-minute proceedings over Interlagos before finally relenting late on, although the early pace set by Rosberg was enough to keep the German out in front.
On a damp track Rosberg posted a time of one minute 24.781 seconds, beating team-mate Hamilton by half a second, although they were among the many who were caught out by the conditions.
Hamilton at one stage spun at turn three, momentarily beaching his car in a dangerous position in the middle of the track, but was able to recover whilst Rosberg took to the grass.
Four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel, aiming to equal two more records this weekend, was third quickest in his Red Bull, 0.606secs adrift.
Vettel can match the 60-year-old mark of nine consecutive victories set by Alberto Ascari, along with Michael Schumacher's 2004 haul of 13 wins in one season.
The 26-year-old German appeared to be the only driver who attempted a run on Pirelli's prototype tyres being developed for next season.
With Pirelli aiming to gather as much information as possible ahead of 2014, which sees the introduction of the new powertrain systems, the weather proved a major hindrance.
Even the normally reliable Vettel ventured off track onto the grass at one point late on given the slippery nature of the circuit.
Jenson Button, still confident of giving McLaren their first podium finish of the season on Sunday, finished just four-thousandths of a second behind Vettel in fourth.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was the only other driver to finish within a second of Rosberg as the weather ensured a wide spread of times.
Mark Webber, due to start his 215th and final race on Sunday before leaving F1 for sportscars, was 1.016secs down in his Red Bull, with McLaren's Sergio Perez a further tenth of a second off the pace.
Daniil Kvyat, the 19-year-old Russian who will drive for Toro Rosso next season, was a highly impressive eighth in his second FP1 outing after recently acquiring his superlicence.
Lotus' Heikki Kovalainen, completing the second of a two-race deal as replacement for Kimi Raikkonen, was 1.352secs down in ninth, with Nico Hulkenberg for Sauber completing the top 10.

Comfortable beds and easy living. The only suggestions we could make is that if you happen to have a disability be aware that the shower is over the bath, which is one of the very modern ones with high sides. This can prove very challenging to get in and out of. Also, on cold nights there is just a throw and a light duvet for warmth on one bed, with an extra blanket on the other. No other blankets are provided. Apart from that we had a pleasant stay!

The latest teacher to fancy himself Robin "Dead Poets Society" Williams is one in Albany who asked students to think outside the box (heh) and explain, from the perspective of a Nazi, why Jews are evil. (Via.) Because doesn't it just make you think? Aren't a bunch of bourgeois panties in a twist? Because that, you see, is the purpose of teaching - making students and their stuffy parents (never hip, like the teacher) uncomfortable. Obviously - and I say this as a sometimes-teacher - most teachers don't think like that. But, as a former high school student, I must say that a certain number do. Apart from truly evil (molestation) and incompetent (not showing up; conducting class by silently copying the textbook onto the blackboard; spending all of class telling off-topic personal anecdotes) behavior, this is my least favorite pedagogical approach. Proper teaching should itself be enough to give students a new perspective. But that sort of me-vs.-your-presumed-naivete attitude is irritating at best, and cultish at worst.
Anyway, what's challenging about this story is that once one gets past one's initial reaction (as a friend of mine put it on Facebook, and it couldn't be put better: "WTF?"), one is left trying to pin down exactly why this crossed a line. Because it wasn't that the teacher tried to demonstrate that Nazis were humans, not monsters. After all, 'why did Nazis/so many other otherwise ordinary people throughout history hate Jews?' is a valid question to ask. Much serious research is done on this topic, little of it by Nazi sympathizers. Lots by Jewish scholars. Historians and others will not ask why some essential They hated The Jews, but rather why a specific time and place was conducive to anti-Semitism.
But the factors tended to have little to do with real-life Jews. The ancient Hebrews are rather significant in Christianity, but Jews have tended to be a tiny minority if present at all in the West. And then of course there was the question of which Jews, if any, Gentiles had contact with. If we're talking mid-19th C France... financiers, prostitutes, yes. Village-dwelling peddlers, not so much. This led to a warped perspective. Point being, the question isn't 'what's so dreadful about Jews, now and always?' but rather 'how did Jews come to symbolize materialism, urbanization, secularism, or whatever else anti-Semitism functioned as at a given moment?' So the teacher's demand doesn't even make sense as a history lesson.
So that's one problem with the assignment - Nazi anti-Semitism was not some kind of rational response to Jewish misdeeds. Nice touch, btw, that the teacher asked students to look to their own lives for examples of... Jews' evilness? Anti-Semitism? Unclear.
But the bigger problem is hello, these are high school students. They're not history grad students being trained to teach courses on anti-Semitism. They don't need to really, intensely get what a midcentury anti-Semite would have had against Jews. They don't need to learn about racist strains of romanticism, about nostalgia for an agrarian past. (Not that this assignment would make sense for grad students, either - see above.) Since when isn't it enough to tell high school kids that Nazism was a racist ideology, to give whichever standard and not inaccurate explanations depending the level of the students (economic resentment ignoring the existence of poor Jews, longstanding religious intolerance, various factors unrelated to Jews making fascism appealing to many at that time)? And if one wishes to make the point that Nazis were ordinary citizens, one might bring up the "banality of evil" argument, toss Arendt's name onto the board, and be done with it. Students can - will! - make the leap on their own and realize that if they'd been "Aryan" in Nazi Germany, chances are they wouldn't have done the right thing, either.
Insisting they write essays on Jews' horribleness is... well, it reminds me of when they bring in a former bulimic to warn teen girls, and then half the class is like, 'huh, you can throw up after meals to lose weight?', and a quarter of the class goes and does just that. Americans in 2013 aren't giving all that much thought to Jews either way, so this is a case of dumb-idea-planting.
And yeah, Jewish students may have been in the class. (To quote my friend once more: "WTF?") There's a scene in Arnon Grunberg's The Jewish Messiah, a Dutch (translated!) novel I read recently, in which a young Jewish character readily agrees with a postwar Nazi sympathizer that the world would have been better had he - and all other Jews - never been born. This in the context of a truly out-there novel about postwar Europe confronting that era, one whose title character is - spoiler alert, nausea alert - a testicle in a jar. But back on earth, kids - adults! - tend not to dispassionately ponder their own extermination. An assignment that would remove all students (save whichever budding neo-Nazis?) from their comfort zone would be altogether traumatic, even incomprehensible, for Jewish kids. It's not a lesson the entire class would be able to complete.

Out of one's comfort zone

Thanks for this Phoebe, which has helped resolve some of the uneasiness that I felt about this story.
It's obviously a stupid assignment. However, I haven't been able to condemn it as thoroughly as some commenters, because it seems (albeit in a misguided way) potentially to respond to some things that frustrate me about teaching certain topics. I do find that, in the case of the pre-Civil Rights era in the south and in the case of the Holocaust, students tend to be ready to rest in a comfortable condemnation: all those people (white Southerners who resisted civil rights, Germans who didn't actively protest the Holocaust) were just evil and cowardly and we would never behave as they do! And that's a frustrating and unnuanced understanding of human nature that also really lets us off the hook: making an issue in the past seem so black-and-white means we don't have to investigate how complicated our own feelings toward marginalized groups can be--gay people, illegal immigrants, ex-cons, or whatever.
But I think you're exactly right that this assignment doesn't address that problem, both because it pretends there's something rational and understandable about anti-Semitism--something that you can make an argument for, even in a debate-team, devil's-advocate-y way!--and because it basically still allows students to stay in their comfort zones, where discrimination is something that happened long ago and far away. - Monday, April 15, 2013 1:53:00 PM

What I might have added, but what I hinted at re: the teacher's suggestion that students look for examples (of what?) from their own lives, is that it isn't entirely clear that this was a poorly-thought-through exercise in demonstrating the banality of evil, or that history's bad guys were normal people. It does seem mighty possible that this teacher would have had no trouble whatsoever imagining a case against Jews. It's just tough to explain this. It's just not as unambiguous as some well-meaning sorts responding to the story would like it to be.

Where to Get Your Science On in Philly
Science nerds, lovers of antique anatomical curiosities and people who like to party can all enjoy the same activities in Philadelphia, a city with an unusually good array of science offerings. Some are cool and some are creepy, but they're all unique to Philly. From off-the-radar museums that opened in the 1800s to collections of body parts in formaldehyde to a nine-day science festival with fighting robots, there's something for everyone here, nerd or not.
The weirdest of all the Philly museums, hands down, is the Mütter, a medical museum filled with all kinds of anatomical oddities and scientific curiosities. The collection is displayed in original 19th century-style glass cabinets and oak drawers that let you get up close and personal with terrifying 100-year-old medical instruments and the collection of objects extracted from patients' throats. Not to miss: the skeleton of the 7'6″ man, the slides containing slivers of Albert Einstein's brain, a piece of John Wilkes Booth's vertebra, and the conjoined liver of Siamese twins.
You can nerd out happily for hours in this world-class science museum, which is chockablock with interactive exhibits designed for kids, but just as entertaining for adults. The IMAX theater has a 79-foot domed screen where awe-inspiring films on everything from outer space to national parks are screened, and the planetarium is one of the most high-tech in the country. The new SportsZone has 21 interactive exhibits related to sports science, including one where guests can run a 40-foot race against virtual sports stars (and the Phillies' mascot). Don't leave without walking through the giant heart (15,000 times larger than life), a beloved local experience for many years.
If possible, schedule your trip to Philly for the annual Science Festival, an exuberant celebration of science that takes place over nine days jam-packed with lectures, exhibits, debates, and interactive experiences like shooting off fizzy rockets, a science-related pub crawl, solving a murder mystery in a museum, and going to a star-gazing party. The events are scattered around the city, hosted by museums, cafes, breweries, libraries, and parks. The festival ends with the day-long Science Carnival on Penn's Landing, on the banks of the Delaware River—an all-day party where guests can watch robots battle it out, stare (safely) at the sun through a telescope, and try to extract DNA from a strawberry, just for a start.
The Academy of Natural Sciences
This popular institution on the Parkway was founded in 1812 and is the oldest natural history museum in the country. Crowds are always drawn to the permanent dinosaur exhibit (the star of which is the T-rex skeleton that leers down over Dinosaur Hall) and to the live tropical butterfly garden, but the museum has its own quirky traditions, too, like the daily public turning of a page in John James Audubon's The Birds of America folio, and the yearly display—at the museum's annual Paleopalooza Festival—of fossils collected by Thomas Jefferson, which include giant mastodon teeth.
Wagner Free Institute of Science
Far from Philadelphia's "museum mile", this off-the-beaten track museum in north Philadelphia is unknown even to most locals, but it's one of the city's most atmospheric. The Victorian building hasn't changed much since the 1890s, and the antique cases that house the specimens—stuffed birds and animals, rattlesnake skins, insects, fossils, shells—create an ambiance reminiscent of an old apothecary shop. Admission is free; try to schedule a guided tour, which includes a slideshow in a lecture hall where Edward Drinker Cope, and Margaret Mead both taught.

(the handling is better but the suspension in not under strain). i have mine dropped at 40 and i have no problems with the suspension.. any pics of your car would really help...

Connection FeesSewer connections are handled by the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) Permit Team on an individual basis, making it extremely difficult to list all possible scenarios and their associated fees. While the basic fee for a residential hookup is approximately $7,500, there are many stipulations that can significantly increase this figure. For an exact calculation of your connection fees, please contact the CCCSD Permit Team at 925-229-7371. For more information, please read our Overview of CCCSD Connection Fees fact sheet (requires Acrobat Reader) or call 925-229-7371. |

Vivaldi's exuberant Magnificat is every bit as good as its more famous cousin the Gloria, and contains many of the same elements.
Haydn's Salve Regina is full of beautiful word-painting, and amply illustrates the composer's ability to innovate. At one moment the organ provides discreet accompaniment to choir and orchestra, the next moment it is a prominent soloist.
Late in his short life Mozart 'discovered' the music of JS Bach, and from that time something of the great man's style enhanced Mozart's own music. Misericordias Domini is a perfect example of this influence; the piece contains much brilliant, elaborate counterpoint.
It is often forgotten that Bach himself wrote five so-called Lutheran Masses, i.e. settings of the Kyrie and Gloria. Mass in G minor features colourful orchestration, intricate choral writing with real impact, and arias for soloists that are a perfect blend of lyrical melody and sublime harmony.
Taken together, these four pieces represent a powerful demonstration of the art of choral writing by four of the world's greatest composers.
The English Baroque Choir is one of the finest amateur choirs you will find in London.
We perform a wide range of repertoire, from the 15th century right through to the present day, in intelligent, well-structured concert programmes.
We recently performed Bach's St Matthew Passion at St John's Smith Square, with our patron, Dame Emma Kirkby, as soloist.
In 2013 the choir commissioned a new work, Psalm-Cantata by John McCabe CBE, and proudly gave the premiere performance in St John's Smith Square.

Oxford Diecast Prestons of Potto - 1:76 Scale
Product Code: DAF03CS
For over half a century Prestons have been setting exceptional standards and quality service. With an extensive fleet, large warehousing and a loyal workforce they have grown to become one of the most widely recognized family business in the British logistics industry. It is now headed by the third generation of the Prestons family, David. The company was formed at Potto in 1936 by Richard Preston Senior and operated successfully as an agricultural business until 1957 when a transport division was formed. In 1969 the company was handed over to Richard Junior and his wife Anne whose joint leadership took the company forward to its leading position today. The growth of the company in the 70`s mirrored Teesside`s expanding chemical and steel businesses. In the 80`s the company was one of the first privately owned to be accredited with BSI and is still praised for its continued high quality performance. It also changed its emphasis and became a large player in the food and drinks business.

The MKV video file does not play nicely with the Sony PlayStation 3. The PS3 plays many different video files, like the MP4 and AVI, but not the MKV. The MKV video file is typically used with hi-definition video files like Blu-ray and HD-DVD. Even though there is no native support for the MKV, you can still get them to play on the PS3. To play these files on your PS3, you need to first convert the file to a file that the PS3 recognises.

He is not a mere individual. He in an institution. A movement. A revolution. An upsurge. He is the architect of the nation. He is the essence of epic poetry and he is history. This history goes back a thousand years. Which is why contemporary history has recognized him as the greatest Bengali of the past thousand years. The future will call him the superman of eternal time. And he will live, in luminosity reminiscent of a bright star, in historical legends. He will show the path to the Bengali nation his dreams are the basis of the existence of the nation. A remembrance of him is the culture and society that Bengalis have sketched for themselves. His possibilities, the promises thrown forth by him, are the fountain-spring of the civilized existence of the Bengalis.

Our nationalist movement that led to the War of Liberation began soon after the creation of Pakistan. Since inception, the Pakistani rulers began maligning our culture to destroy our independent cultural identity.
By - Dr. Rashid Askari
The history of our Liberation War has undergone huge distortion at the hands of vested quarters and political governments. The politically partisan intellectuals held repeated post-mortems of history to use it in their respective favour. This tug of war with our history has caused serious harm to our national integrity. The impressionable young generation has been the worst victim of this. They are confused with the frequent changes in the historical accounts, which are in a state of flux in keeping with the change of the governments. This long-drawn-out hostility between the two major rival parties, Awami League (AL) and Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), revolves around their two political idols — Mujib and Zia. And the bone of contention is primarily centred on the declaration of Independence.

Digging for the Roots of Understanding (DRUST)
The Collaborative Research Project DRUST brings together eminent European research groups that cover the full breadth of Cognitive Science (including cognitive anthropology, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychiatry, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, and psychology) in an interdisciplinary examination of how different types of common ground support interpersonal and intercultural understanding. Communication plays a key role for such an understanding but only to the extent that dialog partners have sufficient common ground. Misunderstandings occur because most dimensions on which common ground can exist are not universally shared and not a priori present.
New research in the Humanities and the Cognitive Sciences has shown that partners in dialogue and partners in action often differ in their perception of the situation, prior background, inference capacity, and linguistic conventions. Although common ground is available when individuals interact with members of their own culture in well-defined contexts, considerable gaps in common ground occur in today's multicultural societies where individuals with different cultural backgrounds interact in heterogenous contexts. Profound misunderstandings easily go unnoticed. A better comprehension of the neural, psychological, and cultural processes that establish common ground is thus crucial for identifying the roots of interpersonal understanding and intercultural understanding and can help to reduce misunderstandings and the serious consequences such misunderstandings can cause.

Follow The Instructions: Why The Directions On Your Favorite Products Matter
From a young age we're taught to follow the rules. And while some rules are made to be broken—why yes you can wear white after Labor Day—others are made for good reason. Case-in-point? The instructions on your favorite skin care products. Think that 5-minute mask can be left on for 15? Think again. To find out why the directions of your beauty products matter, we turned to board-certified dermatologist and Skincare.com consultant, Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali.
If you recently bought a new skin care product and have found that after using it for some time you aren't thrilled with the result, make sure you're following the directions. "Generally [the instructions] have to do with absorption and penetration," Bhanusali explains, saying that if you don't follow the directions the formula may not work the way it was intended. With that said, here are some rules to keep in mind:
Rule 1: If the products says to apply to clean skin, don't think you can get away with not cleansing. You may run the risk of trapping makeup, dirt, and other impurities underneath the product which can wreak havoc on your complexion.
Rule 2: If the product directs you to use it no more than a certain number of times per day or week, using it more often isn't going to make it more effective, it just may lead to problems. Take, for instance, spot treatments for breakouts. Sure you may think that applying that formula with salicylic acid as many times as you can will help make that pimple appear to go away faster, but what you're most likely doing is drying out your skin. One to three times daily means one to three times daily!
Rule 3: If your face mask is supposed to be used for five minutes, for the love of all things skin care don't leave it on for ten! "Many masks have alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids which are great for improving the look of the skin while providing great exfoliation," Dr. Bhanusali says. "But, if left on too long, they could potentially lead to issues like discomfort and dryness."
Rule 4: Some cleansers work best when applied to dry skin, while others may need water to work. If you want to get the best results, you'll want to follow the directions. Take, for instance, cleansers with certain alpha-hydroxy acids. While your initial instinct may be to wet your face and lather up, depending on the formula you may be wrong. Always check the directions to see if you should apply to wet or dry skin before your start if you want to see the intended benefits of the formula.
Lesson learned? If you want the most bang for your buck when you shell out that hard-earned cash on beauty products, be sure you're following the directions!

I have a MIM fretless with a rosewood fingerboard which is in great shape after being played regularly for years. I only use flats on it and for the last 2 years I've been using chromes. The fingerboard beneath the strings is a bit grubby. Is it best to just clean this with nothing more than a damp cloth and then wipe dry? The only other treatment I use is an occasional spray and polish with furniture polish which I find works well to nourish the wood.
Yes, and a gentle cleaner would be a good idea, too. I use a 10 to 1 mix of Simple Green and water. And just enough to clean the gunk off the neck. Let it dry and treat with linseed oil. Geri O
I disagree. If you must use linseed oil, use boiled linseed oil. I'm a luthier and I use shellite (lighter fluid) or white spirit (dry cleaning fluid) to clean rosewood boards, It's very efficient and also evaporates away quickly and without a trace. Then I polish them with brown canauba wax. It is very hard wearing, in fact you have to start buffing it before it fully hardens. It buffs to a nice gentle lustre. It waxes the frets and protects them to a certain extent. It is a paste so doesn't run under frets and into slots. And being brown it doesn't leave white streaks (like regular waxes) in rosewood pores. Oh, and the one I use (Feast Watson) smells like oranges, and my customers recieve a nice scent when they open their cases!
some luthiers say to use boiled linseed oil and no wax products. others swear by carnauba wax. i guess it all boils down to what works best for you. i have also heard that any kind of lemon oil is not good. is there an industry standard for cleaning and maintaining a rosewood board?
I used "Tru Oil" for my Warwicks and was very happy with the result. It was formulated for gun stocks and states that anyone who uses the product will shoot straighter. Hoping it applies to playing better bass as well. The product was recommended by Warwick, has some great app vids on youtube, and is the preferred oil for luthiers. Makes not only the body but fretboard come alive and glow!
I cleaned body and fretboard 1st with a soft scrubber and mild detergent, then applied the oil after thoroughly drying them.
tru oil should never be used on FB's-I use Dunlop FB oil-good enough on an unfinished warwick, all you need is the WW wax for the necks or Howards feed and wax.
Whatever you do OP do not use water, it will dry out the rosewood and make your neck look like ****. I like Ernie Ball Wonder Wipes, naptha works alright from what I hear. I have used lemon oil for treating necks but it does not clean necks.
MM recommends True Oil for there unfinished maple fingerboards. Thought I'd use it on a SX rosewood board. DO NOT USE TRUE OIL ON A ROSEWOOD BOARD. It looks super shiny and feels slimy; had to clean multiple times and then multiple times with steel wool. Either boil linseed oil or bore oil (for wind instruments) works well. Then again Sadowsky recommends Planet Waves FB oil instead of linseed so that's probably really good as well. Also, I was a fan of Simple Green until it stained a very expensive alloy part I machined; the stuff is banned from my shop. +1 on Wonder Wipes or lighter fluid
Source: Fodera - http://www.fodera.com/PublicPages/CaringyourFodera.aspx "...Every Six Months At least once every six months if you have a fingerboard made out of Ebony, Rosewood, Pau Ferro or any other unfinished wood, while you have the strings off of your Fodera, you need to oil your fingerboard. We use clear mineral oil with no additives (found in most pharmacies). Apply it to the surface of the fingerboard using a clean, soft, dry rag (and old tee-shirt is perfect for this). Allow it to sit and be absorbed for approximately five minutes before removing any remaining mineral oil with a different clean, soft, dry cloth. Restring your instrument only after all excess oil has been removed and take extra care to make sure that you do not get mineral oil on your strings! Give body, back of the neck and hardware of your instrument a gentle rub down with a very slightly damp, clean, soft cloth (or tee-shirt) and then immediately do the same gentle rub down with a clean, DRY, soft cloth. Do not put the damp cloth anywhere near the control knobs or pickups. At your option, you can apply a very light coating of clear wax (we use MINWAX Paste Finishing Wax). Rub on a small amount with a clean, soft dry cloth and then wipe it away with a different clean, soft, dry cloth. Take care not to get any wax on any of the hardware, pickups or fingerboard. The wax should only come into contact with the finished wood... If your pots have gotten a bit noisy, they can be cleaned with anti-static spray. We use Anti-Static Spray made by STATX Brands (Cat. No. 64-3310) and sold at Radio Shack. Change the two 9-volt batteries in your pre-amp..."
Here's a couple pics of my truoiled bodies/fretboard. Didn't have any problems (fretboard's rosewood). Looking forward to treating my Jazz and RBV fretboards the same way next string change with the same results.
I use fret doctor. I have no idea whats in it other then lemon oil cuz you can smell lemon! but it does a great job! and keeps the wood nice and dark.
I've never tried tru oil as it's not available here, but I've always believed it to be like danish oil - a mix of linseed, polyurethane and turpentine. (I'm happy to be corrected about this.) If you use this, its very important to clean the board very thoroughly with solvent (not just soapy water) before applying as the residual lemon oil or whatever was used before may prevent it from drying properly. I'd also be very careful about getting polyurethane on other parts of your guitar by way of drips, runs or sticky fingerprints. I've used danish oil for many years, and it takes several hours to dry, and several days to harden. I have used it on a few fretboards, when I had the time to let it dry and give it a few coats, but for a gigging muso who just wants to clean and maintain their axe at a string change, I think the carnauba wax is the best option, but it takes a little practise and some elbow grease as well...
remove strings, spay with some simple green, nice soft brush, maybe a tooth brush (I use a surgeon brush). Wipe it down clean and add some linseed oil, wipe again. I've heard of using naphtha for cleaning it, I use that for bodies but I'm a little weary of using it in an open grain fretboard. I've heard stories of it seperating the board from the neck but I don't know how much truth is in that. Other members here use it and don't seem to have a problem though. I somewhat doubt it myself because from using it on other things I know that it evaporates almost instantly. Lemon oil is rubbish, most aren't even lemon oil and just contain it and are intended for furniture. Actual lemon oil would peel the skin off your bones. the biggest rule to follow is don't leave anything on there for long, you put it on then wipe it off.
Thanks for the replies everyone. There seems to be quite a few opinions and different methods to achieve this depending on your preference and experiences. I thought I'd show you my fingerboard, which I don't think is that bad really, to see what you think.
This looks like the most balanced approach so far. No doubt folks will come up with solutions that work best for them, but with this, I've seen the error of my ways and I'm ceasing the use of Simple Green today. Thanx, Robbie! Geri O

Earlier today, Tradeshift announced it had raised $75 million in a series C funding round led by Singapore's Scentan Ventures. The deal also includes exclusive rights for Scentan Ventures to leverage Tradeshift for "product development, sales, marketing and service rights to the Tradeshift platform" in the Japanese market.
In addition, Spend Matters has learned that Scentan Ventures is putting significant resources behind building custom apps for the Japanese market to extend the platform and native capabilities of Tradeshift (and the exiting app ecosystem). The funding round comes in addition to $37 million that Tradeshift has already raised from previous investors, bringing the total capital that it has received to $112 million.
I had a chance to speak briefly with Tradeshift's Christian Lanng today via Skype, and he shared a number of things on the funding round and Tradeshift's current position in the market. First, he noted, "we're moving very fast on the metrics that matter and the funding round is validation of an already high previous multiple," which Spend Matters estimated is well over 20x revenue. In addition, the round "provides validation of the ecosystem, as the investors are also investing additional capital because they want to build apps on the Tradeshift platform."
As to Tradeshift itself, Christian said, "We have tripled our deal size since 2012 and most deals are multi-million dollar deals today. This is above average for e-invoicing deals. We are selling the core platform rather than just a P2P product." Further, he suggests, "we have not sold any deals that were not multiple apps such as workflow, CloudScan, vendor registration, dynamic discounting and similar. It's how the pieces fit together versus the individual platform elements themselves."
To this end, Christian notes that his firm has "not had a single deal in the past year that has not involved custom apps built on the platform. There are two certified partners who build these apps for our customers and some customers are even building them on their own."
We're sure the Tradeshift team will be celebrating tonight with a toast to apps, apps, and more apps. And the $75 million as well. Stay tuned for further coverage of the funding round and what it means for the market and customers later this week in a detailed Spend Matters PRO analysis.
As a final note, Spend Matters has recently increased its forecast and market size growth for the supplier network and platform market (see our research links below). No doubt, Tradeshift's funding round provides validation for a sector that is reaching escape velocity from its humble e-invoicing workflow and scan/capture roots.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Catherine "Kitti" Huber
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor (Photo by Wayne Miller for the Henrico Citizen) 02/16/12
You might say that Skipwith Elementary is home to Catherine "Kitti" Huber, and not just because she attended the school as a child or because she's taught there for 12 years – or even because her daughter, Tara, also has taught there for the past four years.
In reality, Skipwith is home because of the students she's taught and the community she's watched grow up.
"I've been in [teaching] long enough now that many of my students have become adults," says Huber, who teaches second grade at the school and whose career spans nearly three decades, including 28 years in Henrico County (at Ratcliffe and Fair Oaks in addition to Skipwith). "One of my first-graders is a professor in college now. I've watched little people become big people. It's really amazing sometimes how similar the adults who come back to you are as the children you taught."
One of the great joys of teaching young students, Huber says, is witnessing their reactions when they realize they've learned something. Reading, in particular, often draws the most noteworthy reactions.
"They normally realize that they can read when they're not in school," Huber says. "I've had so many kids come in one day and say, 'Guess what happened to me this weekend!'"
When Huber's own children attended Skipwith, she worried that its lack of diversity might create a world view for them that was too narrow.
"And now we're one of the most diverse elementary schools in the whole county," she says.
Huber recalls a snack break in her classroom several years ago, during which a half-dozen students – each a different ethnicity – sat down together and passed a small chalkboard around, taking turns writing "Hello" in their native languages.
"I watched those kids and I thought, They're taking turns, they're sharing, they're relating to each other. If we could do this everywhere all over the world, all the issues that we have could be resolved."
To parents and colleagues alike, Huber's ability to motivate students is second to none.
"She challenges her students to think and solve problems instead of just memorizing facts," one parent wrote in a nomination letter. "The skills they are learning from her will last a lifetime."
Huber challenges her students to make any situation a learning situation. She intentionally makes spelling and grammatical mistakes on letters home and asks students to identify the mistakes, correct them and write both pieces of information on an index card. Once they've turned in 10 cards, they earn 10 minutes of free time.
Students who complete reading comprehension tests as part of an ongoing accelerated reading program earn a free t-shirt after they've completed a specified number. Those who earn their shirts before Huber herself does receive a break from homework. Three already have done so, and one student didn't stop there.
"He's been lugging around this 412-page book," Huber says.
Huber also has played an integral role in the school's Destination Imagination program (formerly Odyssey of the Mind), a program that encourages teamwork, problem solving and creativity by presenting challenges for teams of students to complete during a period of several months. She coached the school's team in the 1980s as a parent, then started a team at Ratcliffe as a teacher and re-started the Skipwith program when she returned to the school. Today she serves on the Destination Imagination regional board.
Huber meets a group of friends once a month for lunch. Most are retired teachers and former coworkers of hers, and they often wonder why she hasn't joined their ranks yet.
"Everybody is saying, Isn't it time yet?" Huber says. "And I don't think it is."

The much discussed almost 18% plunge in 10-year Treasury yields this year has been a boon for rate-sensitive real estate investment trusts and the relevant exchange traded funds.
Just look at the $5.5 billion iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF (NYSEArca: IYR), which is up 13.8% year-to-date. IYR, with a trailing 12-month yield of 3.68%, may not be done delivering upside for investors.
IYR "broke out from a solid base at $69 in mid-April. The current consolidation above the 20-day EMA has been bullish, with volume well below average over the past two-weeks (light volume during consolidation is positive)," notes Deron Wagner of Morpheus Trading Group.
Adding to IYR's bullishness is that the ETF touched a new 52-week high last Friday on volume that was more than 18% above the daily average. That was the first time in several weeks volume in IYR ha been noticeably above average. [Rate-Sensitive REITs Rebound]
"A continuation breakout is a move from a short-term consolidation pattern of two to three weeks or so. It is not as long as the typical base breakout, which is usually seven to eight weeks or more in length," added Wagner.
Since clearing some overhead resistance in late April, IYR traded in a tight range for most of May before showing signs of another breakout last Friday.
Importantly, signs of a recovering U.S. economy and falling interest rates have been stoking investor interest in REIT ETFs.
For example, IYR and the Vanguard REIT ETF (NYSEArca: VNQ) have taken in almost $4 billion combined in new assets this year. The $2.5 billion SPDR Dow Jones Reit ETF (NYSEArca: RWR) has pulled in a respectable $137 million in new capital. [REIT ETFs Get a Data Lift]

I masked as Firefox, but I'm still not getting comments on Newsarama. Not that I usually read comments anyway...
I've actually been around here for quite a while, but recently changed my I.D. when I left IDW's editing throne to freelance full time. Glad you like "Mirror Images"--Los Bros. Tiptons have done a great job on the entire series, and I think David Messina's art has never looked better. I think Byrne's Romulans series might be handled slightly differently, since (as I understand the plan) he won't be doing five issues straight, but will be breaking it up after two issues to do a different Star Trek series. After he's done with that, he'll apparently resume the Romulans tale for three more issues (which is a separate, self-contained story that follows the two-issue series); and then, all five Romulan issues will be collected together in one omnibus, probably two or three months after the final issue appears.
On the one hand, having to wait until early 2009 for Alien Spotlight II is frustrating. OTOH, it'll likely come out around the same time as A Singular Destiny, so it's a big self-promotion feast!
Seeing IDW going strong, expanding the line in some interesting directions and coordinating their efforts more with Pocket Books has encouraged me to sample some of their product. Got my first IDW TBP on order, and I'm looking forward to receiving it!
I'm not an especially strong follower of comics, but I'm a rabid Pocket enthusiast. The series/issues where IDW has tried to link its work to Pocket's (such as the New Frontier mini-series) have been the ones that convinced me to take the plunge every so often, and I'll be buying any comics that legitimately relate to/fit into the same framework as the novels. Short version: IDW + Pocket = Profit
Good, because I tried two issues of The Space Between and stopped buying after that. Any recommendations in particular?
To Andrew: Thanks for reassuring the crowd at the Comic-Con panel about the forthcoming Trek movie. Personally, I'm excited to see new people playing in the Star Trek sandbox; a similar infusion of new blood into the fiction line roughly a decade ago led to the Golden Age of TrekLit, and I'm optimistic Abrams and Co. will work similar wonders. After all, we've had forty years of Trek; if Abrams decides to change something in ways I don't like, it's not like I don't have an abundance of other Trek material to enjoy.
I'm really sorry to say it but anything not written by David Tischman comes highly recommended. I've been blown away by almost everything Trek that IDW has put out to date, but the writing in both The Space Between and the first 6 issues of TOS Year Four was just atrocious.
That pretty much sums it up, though I'm not crazy about the New Frontier comic. Klingons: Blood Will Tell and Alien Spotlight volume 1 are both out in trade paperback, and they're both quite good.
Actually, if Admiral Necheyev's Bularian canapés had been more familiar to me, the obscure ending of "The Space Between" would have been more satisfying. I noticed that, in "Greater Than the Sum" (CLB's new TNG novel), that Necheyev's favourite food is again a story point, but properly explained, so TSB might make more sense to people who follow the TNG Relaunch! By the way Christopher, your book is GREAT! I love your explanation of the differences between different Borg groups!
Heh, it was 'The Space Between' so thanks for the warning. I'll pick up a couple before I pass judgement.
I'd give two big thumbs up to Klingons: Blood Will Tell from the Tipton brothers as well as the Alien Spotlight I omnibus with stories from the Tiptons, John Byrne, myself, and a couple of other great authors. (I know--shameless plug in there, but I think all of the stories are really good.) And, of course, D.C. Fontana's Star Trek Year Four: Enterprise Experiment, with art by the classic Gordon Purcell, when it comes out in omnibus sometime this fall. It's really as good as I could have hoped for. Which isn't meant to omit Peter David's New Frontier or John Byrne's Assignment Earth, but those are more specific corners of the Trek mythology. Hmmm.... Alien Spotlight II...Four Thousand Throats...A Singular Destiny...Four Walls... Keith, have you joined a numerology cult that we don't know about?
Is there any chance of more TNG down the road? Maybe something aboard the E? I thought I would ask since no once else has yet and nothing was mentioned from the Con about it. Can't wait for all the exciting planned series to come out through. Loving Mirror Images myself and kind of was disappointed in the shortness for New Frontier.
Actually, "Star Trek: The Last Generation", which was announced at the con, will be a TNG book (though obviously a Myriad Universes one). In the less-than-two-years since IDW started publishing Trek, that'll be the third TNG miniseries, plus TNG stories in one-shots like Borg, Andorians, etc. All told, I think they've published 13 or so TNG issues so far in about a year and a half (not counting New Frontier, which is really its own thing), so I'd say that's pretty good so far. And, of course, I'm more than certain that IDW will be doing more TNG series after Last Generation wraps up. For New Frontier, I believe that IDW Publisher Chris Ryall suggested the likelihood of another series from Peter David at the convention (if I recall correctly), but remember that IDW usually follows a miniseries format, and that PAD had to receive a special exemption to his exclusive contract with Marvel to write the first one, so that had a lot to do with the first series's length/duration.
Should of realized that The Last Generation is an alternate TNG. Just I will miss some adventures on the D for awhile. I still think there are a few out there left to be told since we are now more focused on the E and onwards. I forgot about that special exemption as well. I guess a wait for another NF mini is good.
Am loving the Star TTRek titles being published by IDW. These books are as good or better than any of the other ST comics that have come before, IMO. Especially the John Byrne stuff. Excellent! It'd be interesting to see IDW get license for a couple other Rodenberry projects. Say The Questor Tapes, or (my personal wish) Andromeda. An ongoing Andromeda comic would rock, especially if you could get input from Robert Hewitt Wolfe.
