There are so many fantastic things about cow prints. First, the black and white (or, less commonly, brown and white) pattern matches a wide range of decor, and provides a basis for a very commonly recognised and appreciated theme (cows). Second, cows are considered fun, benevolent and, quite frankly, all-around cool animals. Therefore, the use of a cow pattern in home decor makes that home just like cows themselves: fun and all-around cool. Finally, painting a cow print is one of the easiest ways to add a splash of personality to a room. Cow prints are hard to mess up and easy to make.

- 1
Research cow prints. Look for a cow spot stencil, if that's your preference, or at least find a couple pictures of cows that have the sort of cow spots you're looking to imitate. Keep a few photographs on hand while you're working. You may even want to buy a swatch of cow-patterned cloth to use as inspiration.
- 2
Prepare the area for painting. Tape off the sides and edges of the area. Clean it, if necessary.
- 3
Paint a plain white background on the wall where you'll be painting the cow print. Use paint rollers to cover the large area and paint brushes to paint the corners. Wait for this coat to dry and repeat. After two coats of white paint have been applied, assess the wall to see if more coats are needed. If any colour below this coat is showing through, the coats must be applied until the wall appears to be plain white.
- 4
Draw the outside of the cow spots on the wall using a plain pencil. These spots should be circular-ish in shape, but the edges should be organic and rugged. Refer back to the pictures you compiled for inspiration. Notice that each cow spot is of a different shape and sizes; imitate this. Don't worry about getting it right or wrong; there aren't exact rules for making a proper cow pattern. Just don't use straight edges because this will look unnatural. After you've drawn one spot, draw a second and a third, and so on, until the wall is covered in spots. If you're using a stencil, place the stencil against the wall and draw the spots inside the stencil until the wall is covered.
- 5
Fill in the cow spots you used with black or brown paint, using a medium-sized paint brush. Cover up the edges you drew so that the pencil marks are no longer visible. Use the pencil marks as a guide only, and don't worry about painting outside the lines. Wait for the paint to dry, then paint the spots with a second coat of black or brown paint.
Tips and warnings
- Practice drawing cow spots on a sheet of paper before beginning to draw the ones you'll paint.
- A cow print can be used to decorate any surface, whether you're painting a sign, a picture, a mantel, stool or some other object in your home. Be creative.
- Place cow paraphernalia around the room to emphasise your cow theme.

The county's Heritage Conservation Council will meet Thursday to discuss and possibly decide how to trim nearly $940,000 in requests down to $350,000 in recommendations for grants designated for preserving natural and cultural heritage.
Three groups are seeking "major" grants for projects expected to cost more than $105,000:
• Douglas County Historical Society, $108,000 for continued development of a permanent exhibit for Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Mass.
• Black Jack Battlefield Trust, $163,000 for restoration the Robert Hall Pearson Farmhouse at the battlefield east of Baldwin City.
• Eudora Area Historical Society, $180,000 for renovation of 720 and 722 Main St. into a Eudora Community Museum.
Fifteen smaller projects account for the balance of grant requests.
Council members, who will meet 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass., plan to forward their recommendations to county commissioners in November.

A Guide to French Word Origins – French Etymology
The evolution of the French language over the last two thousand years has been influenced by the tongues of a variety of peoples – from native Gauls, to Viking invaders and Germanic tribes – and throughout its history French has borrowed words and expressions from a range of linguistic traditions. While some of these, like Latin, have had a profound impact on the language, others, like Old Norse, left their traces only in specific regions of France and certain areas of the language. The history of French is one of a melding of the diverse cultures the country has come into contact with over its long, tumultuous history.
From the Celts to the Romans
When Julius Caesar conquered it in the first century BC, the area now known as France was dominated by the Gauls – a Celtic-speaking people. Celtic was an Indo-European language that was spoken across northwestern Europe, but Gaulish was the specific 'brand' of Celtic spoken in France. Although soon to be supplanted by the Latin tongue the Romans brought with them, Gaulish marks the French language to this day. The names of the four major rivers of the country – the Seine, Loire, Rhône, and Garonne – all have roots in the original Gaulish names the Sicauna, Liga, and Rodonos, with Garonne emerging from the Celtic suffix -onna, meaning 'source' or 'river.' These names, still in use, were thus inherited from some of the earliest inhabitants of France.
Today thousands of places retain names from the Celtic age, and the toponymy of many French towns and regions reveals much about the development of the language. The town of Chambéry (from camboritos – a shallow area of a river, situated in a curve in the landscape) and the Ardennes region (from Arduinna, with ardu meaning 'high') are only two such examples. The name of the French capital itself is marked by the country's Celtic heritage – 'Paris' comes from a Gaulish tribe, the Parisii, who once lived in the area. The name itself may have come from the Celtic word parisio meaning 'the craftsmen.' Apart from toponyms, most modern French words derived from Gaulish are limited to the vocabulary of the countryside and its wildlife. Words like bouleau (birch), bruyère (heath or moor), chêne (oak), and boue (mud), as well as animal names like lotte (monkfish) and bouc (goat) all come from Gaulish origins.
Vulgar Latin and Frankish – The Building Blocks of Modern French
Gaulish slowly died out in the face of the Roman invasion, and as the language of trade, religion, and education, Latin influenced the development of French profoundly. Most of the vocabulary and grammar of modern French derive from Vulgar Latin – the spoken form of the language. However, over two thousands years of linguistic evolution has seen original Latin terms transformed almost beyond recognition. For example, caballus became cheval (horse), auricula became oreille (ear), and stella became étoile (star).
The third century saw the invasion of Germanic tribes from the north and east, and one of these tribes – the Franks – would be vital to the transformation of the French language. The name of the language itself, français, comes from the Germanic word, frankisc, and many modern French words have Frankish origins. Words related to rural life often fall into this group, including bois (wood), from the Frankish busk, saule (willow), from salha, and chouette (barn owl) from kōwa or kāwa. Many verbs also come from Frankish, including garder (to keep), guérir (to heal), and choisir (to choose), as well as many names of colors, such as bleu (blue), brun (brown), blanc (white), and gris (grey). The adjectives laid (ugly), hardi (bold), and the feelings honte (shame) and orgueil (pride) also come from Germanic sources.
Vikings and Renaissance Men – Other Influences
The ninth-century Viking raids in Normandy would see another important, albeit geographically limited, influence on the development of French. Old Norse still marks the place names of the region, with those ending in the suffix –bec (stream), like Houlbec, or ending in –fleur (estuary), like Honfleur, being significant examples. As their fortunes were so tied to the sea, the Scandinavian invaders particularly influenced the vocabulary of fishing, sailing, and marine life, with words like harpon (harpoon), turbot (turbot), and homard (lobster) all having roots in the age of the Viking raids on northern France. With the Normans going on to become a great invading people themselves, the Viking legacy for the French nation and language is perhaps more profound than it might at first seem.
While many French words were borrowed from Latin from the time of the Roman invasion, during the Renaissance the influence of Latin was revived. This resulted in the formation of doublets – pairs of words that share the same etymological origin. For example, the Latin word fragilis was reintroduced in the sixteenth century, becoming fragile, while the popular form of the word had evolved into frêle (frail). The Renaissance also saw a massive importation of Greek words, such as catastrophe, authentique, and démocratie, into the French language. Although there have been no major transformative influences on the language since the age of the Renaissance, English loanwords like le weekend and le hamburger are now a familiar part of modern French, and the language continues to evolve.

The English-speaking Commonwealth of Dominica offers a citizenship for life that offers many benefits to expats. One does not need to reside in Dominica to maintain this citizenship, it allows for Visa-free travel to over 100 countries worldwide, and it includes the benefits associated with membership in the British Commonwealth which allows Dominican citizens to work or study in the UK. There are no peculiar duties such as military service. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership and capital can move freely in and out of the country. Flights to New York or Connecticut take only about four hours.
This is a relatively straightforward process. Dominica has one of the fastest processes; currently, the application process takes about three months. The cost for an applicant, spouse, and 2 minor children is $200 k. This is the lowest costs among the three countries that offer economic citizenship of this type. For this price, you will enjoy no capital gains, gift, wealth, or inheritance tax and no taxes on foreign income. The higher the top marginal tax rate, the more it pays to avoid paying it. Claiming Commonwealth of Dominica citizenship is one way to avoid confiscatory taxation and the malinvestment that it funds.

The purpose is to define a strategy that uses digital technologies to address the public spaces in a historic city.
The strategy aims at:
• Strengthening the community ties creating tools to reinforce the common attachment and interest toward venues [6,7] [14];
• Extending the public uses of places, including activities that are at least partly per-
formed using new tools and media;
• Creating a holistic system among the public spaces of the historic center, so that
what happens in one place is immediately shared with the others, using real time communication as a way to create contamination of uses and generate unexpected activities.
• Inform people about the existence of certain public spaces and opportunities and
thus influence the way they use the venues.
From the previous analyses we selected two types of spaces, object of our intervention: the anchor points – venues turning out to be the most popular and attended by the city dwellers – and action points – beautiful open spaces, practically unknown and not used by the citizens, where it would be possible to established new activities to revitalize the area.
We decided to introduce in the action points new programs, partially performed by new media technologies: common screens for media streaming, working area with Wi-fi connection and sockets, but also spots to access common media contents showing past events in that venue. The public life in both these points, action and anchor, will work within a holistic system created by an information infrastructure, through which users could talk, describe, get to know about the venues and activities.
The design of the infrastructure requires both the design of an application that stores user-generated information and the strategic planning of places and devices through which people could access this information. These two points will be crucial in deeply influencing the target of user that will be exposed to the data. In fact, if the distribution was limited to smart phone owners only, a large piece of population will be cut out. Moreover the way we access spatial information determine also the way we navigate the space. The common way to experience the city used to be stumbling upon activities, with the result that close events could influence and contaminate each other. But nowadays, the discovery of space is at least partly up to the use of social media: people tend to look at their network database to decide where to go, moving from one point to the other, following the Google Maps pin, with an indifferent attitude toward the physical reality around them. Our proposal is then to combine those two ways of experiencing the space. Create a user-generated database of events and interactions that is shared not only in social networks, but also in physical places. In fact in each of the anchor point, a screen may visualize events and information about other venues in the city. Moreover, anchor points and action points could be directly linked each other with a video streaming connection, thus contaminating the respective uses.
The data base of information shared in the screens is generated by an application, called OpenUrbino: this social communication software is designed in order to create an online database of information – that could be redistributed upon the territory in specific spots, as previously described – but also in order to "enhance" local communities. Communication technologies have proved they could help processes where citizens are engaged as co-makers and co-creators of the public domain.
The application OpenUrbino specifically designed for the historic center of Urbino aims at achieving those goals. The design of the application, still a beta version for exclusive use within the research, is already partly coded and will be soon released.
In order to help in creating the local community ties, OpenUrbino lets people share localized media contents they have been producing on popular social networks (Instagram, Foursquare, Facebook, to mention but a few), not only with friends but also with strangers who are or will be in the same location. The application doesn't work as a competitor of other social networks, but rather like a digital social traces search engine. The proposed goal is to share activities and memories with strangers who are actually neighbors, tourists, thus reinforcing the sense of community. The application is designed in order to share social media contents about places, to browse the venues where there is a major number of contributions (for instance in the previously discussed Popularity map); but also to start and foster projects of common interest, to share public events and then to look at what is happening in real time in the area. Open-Urbino creates a huge database: for each venue there are several media experiences recorded, showcasing activities and uses, lists of events, lists of participants, all updated in real time.

Misunderstanding MOOCs and Computing Labor Shortage: Andy Kessler of WSJ.com
June 17, 2013 at 1:42 am 11 comments
Andy Kessler of the Wall Street Journal (linked below) misunderstands why we have a computing labor shortage. MOOCs definitely make "computing education" (in general) accessible to more people. But that doesn't mean that we'll shrink the computing labor shortage, as described by Code.org. Undergraduate computing education is "accessible" to everyone on campus, but rarely draws more than 15% women. We have to go from "accessible" to "engaging." Unless we draw in women and under-represented minorities, we can't close the jobs-graduates gap. We have to change how we teach to draw more women and under-represented minorities, and MOOCs don't teach that way.
Anyone who cares about Americas shortage of computer-science experts should cheer the recent news out of Georgia Tech. The Atlanta university is making major waves in business and higher education with its May 14 announcement that the college will offer the first online masters degree in computer science—and that the degree can be had for a quarter of the cost of a typical on-campus degree. Many other universities are experimenting with open online courses, or MOOCs, but Georgia Techs move raises the bar significantly by offering full credit in a graduate program.It comes just in time. A shortfall of computer-science graduates is a constant refrain in Silicon Valley, and by 2020 some one million high-tech job openings will remain unfilled, according to the Commerce Department.

Actually, where access does matter is for people like me who have missed the boat on taking CS in college, but now want to pursue it. I have self-studied enough to get a job as a software engineer, but to further my learning I foresee that I will have to eventually go back to school or figure out the academic equivalent. But it's quite difficult to pursue CS as a formal degree without the undergrad prerequisites, and I will have to study part time to make up for it. It makes sense to have degree or non-degree alternatives to help people who want to switch field mid-career:
Access certainly does matter. The question is whether access is enough to correct the computing labor shortage. How many people are there like you, who want to make a career change to CS later in life? Are there enough to make a dent in the computing labor shortage? And are MOOCs the most effective form of education for that audience? I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but my hypothesis is that there are not enough mid-career changers into CS. My hypothesis is based on the large percentage (over 50%) of mid-career women who leave computing. If we need more women (as a percentage of the workforce, so more than just numbers) to address computing labor shortage, then we're not getting to get the hundreds of thousands that we need via mid-career MOOCs.
I don't know enough about the nuances of women currently in computing, but my feeling is that the number of them leaving their careers is not a logical proxy of how many want to enter. How do these numbers compare to women leaving mid-career in other industries? Could there be natural attrition because of family considerations, or another set of reasons to address to make them want to stay?
Either way, while I'm not sure what the exact number would be for people wanting to switch careers, my guess is that it's significant enough to warrant attention and will be growing even more. Dev bootcamp receives hundreds of applications a month (granted, not all female) and Hackbright Academy (an all female program that I attended) received 500 applications for its last 10-week cohort. This is 1/4 of my class at UPenn (of course, I understand I am kind of comparing apples to oranges here)
Almost all of my classmates at Hackbright and many other self-learned I have met have done a MOOC. I myself would not have pursued CS/programming if I was never exposed to Stanford's opencourseware. It gave me an exposure that would've been difficult to come by in another era.
It is easy to argue here that I recognized the need to move beyond MOOCs to carry my learning to another level– and that much is true. But without MOOCs, many of us would never have even been able to recognize that we were interested in the topic in the first place. And now that I actually have a job in software, it is the most viable option for me to continue learning.
I see the funnels of increasing the number of women in computing occuring at three junctures:
1) ensuring people who have no idea what CS is about to have exposure and the ability to try out the subject
2) ensuring those who do try to have a good, engaging experience that make them want to stay
3) ensuring those who want to stay have ongoing access to knowledge and an encouraging environment to further learningI believe that MOOCs provide good options for 1. and 3. (for some good courses 2. as well). I see it being particularly good at 1: if I had access as a HS student, maybe I would've not had the preconceptions that I did and decided to pursue it.
Jasmine, women are under-represented in mid-career and leadership of IT companies (see scorecard at NCWIT.org). Women are woefully under-represented in leadership of all companies, but it's worse in IT companies. The number of enrollees in any MOOC isn't the critical issue — it's the number of completers who will go on to more learning, and there's a question whether anybody learns anything in MOOCs.
I'm glad that MOOCs are working for you. From what data I see, you are an outlier — most women are not succeeding with open learning resources for getting into computing. If we want large numbers, we have to figure out how to make learning opportunities that work for the average students, too.
I don't think our arguments are mutually exclusive. I'm not arguing that the computing labor shortage can be purely solved by mid-career switches, or that there isn't a need to somehow make materials more engaging at undergrad level or for (some) MOOCs. What I'm saying though is that at least for many, they provide avenues of reinvention never previously available. As low as the numbers may be, that may still be an infinite increase over previous numbers if it was almost non-existent before. This gives other people courage and belief that they can do it too.
This means a lot to me because while it makes sense to focus on future labor force and economy, it makes no sense to say no to the rest of the women who have come to the realization too late that they would've liked to study CS. Not only were they misguided by a system with wrong perceptions (perhaps perpetrated by actual factors in the environment), they are then turned away by the system declaring that it's simply too late?
I understand the gender imbalance in the industry. I work with 30 males and am the only girl on my team– the ratio was worse than I imagined and much more intimidating too. But it matters that I will be there, because it will be that much less scary for the next woman joining the team. And it will matter for undergrads choosing their majors as well.
Anyway, just to clarify– I'm not agreeing with the article's reasoning of MOOCs somehow being the primary driver of reducing computing labor shortage, but I do think for the immediate term they provide viable options for however minimally helping to bridge the labor imbalance. It may only work for those with great self-learning initiatives, but all great developers are constantly self-learning anyway, even well into their jobs.
Georgia Tech offers a MS in CS for $ 7,000 for 12 online courses from Udacity. Per course 7,000/12 = $ 583 per course.
Now Coursera sold to 10 state ( yes state ) universities all of its courses at $ 36 per course .
$ 583 versus $ 36
Don't you feel that Georgia's very intelligent professors and managers haVE BEEN unintellegent a little .Georgia Tech courses may be at most $ 100 sincde they are MS courses .
see Chronical and New York Times May 30 , 2013
What do you think of what this article says about the purported "labor shortage" in STEM?
There is a suggestion that the shortage is only purported, but I don't really see the evidence. People who hire in computing tell me that there's a shortage. I attended a briefing by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that says that there's a shortage. I need to see more evidence that the shortage is invented.
Thank you — I've read some commentary making similar arguments, that STEM education is actually better over the last decades, and improving STEM education further is unlikely to make workforce improvements. I can't really speak to those arguments, because I don't know STEM education overall. I know computing education. Considering that only about 1 in 12 high schools in the US even has CS education, I don't buy the argument that increasing and improving computing education wouldn't have an impact on students pursuing computing as a career. In fact, what evidence we have on under-represented minorities suggests that simply having any kind of computing education in schools makes a big impact on getting students to pursue computing. So, I buy that there's a shortage in computing labor, and there's something worthwhile to be done about it.

we ended up with ~95% (all but one egg hatched!) - this is the second year we've hatched these eggs, and with excellent hatch rates each time! Healthy parent stock and excellent packaging make all the difference! This time we had mostly F1 eggs and a couple F2 eggs - chicks hatched out wheaten down colored, except one blue copper and one black copper colored! All are growing up strong and beautiful - thanks again!

going to bed every night while trying to remember what I wanted to post about, but didn't get a chance to, is pretty much a torture, if you ask me. I'm quite sure my head might explode a little if I don't get to unload that pile of imaginary hand written notes to myself with ideas and events for blog posts.
One if these days
...when Ivy no longer wakes up 3-5 times in a 2 hour period at night
...when I'm not making (knitting, no less) Halloween costumes any more (ironically, for a holiday that I simply don't get)
...most importantly, when our hard drive has more than 2 GB left on it so I can finally upload 8 GB worth of photos to it
I'll release all those drafted posts into the wild, and might actually get caught up with current events. Before Christmas would be just fine with me.
Until then, a cute baby face can tie into pretty much any post, right? Like, here's the face of that baby that wakes up on average 4 times in a two hour period after she goes to bed. Maybe I should make her wear that hat, so she can look just as cute when she wakes up yet again.

She's SO cute. Really. Her hat is awesome, and her cheeks? Please. They are delicious!
And I'm so sorry you're so tired and fried. I hate feeling that way. - October 30, 2010 at 8:32 AM

Very cute baby and very cute hat.
I had to go through and dump about 1500 pics last month to make room for all the new ones.
Andrew, at 22 months, has finally gone two straight nights without waking to nurse. The first night he actually slept through, last night he was awake from 1am-3am, then up for good at 6:45am. Hopefully he'll be "sleeping through the night" for a few months solid before the new baby comes and it starts all over... - October 30, 2010 at 11:07 AM

She's absolutely beautiful! The hat's pretty gorgeous too. I'm sure you can forgive someone that adorable for waking so often!

That hat is way too cute! I would for sure recommend keeping the hat on for those late night wake up calls!

after having been on vacation. This weekend I played around on our patio
spaces a bit, trying to get a more cozy feel out there!!!!
I purchased this cute white SOLIG NET FROM IKEA
before our vacation and finally had a chance
to hang it up this week ....love it so cute!!!!
Notice the new IKEA catalog I got in the mail this week ???
The perfect reading material for my little tent!
so is the knitted floor pouf
and finally figured out a good place to hang it. I added these
3 little buckets from the Dollar section at Target and filled
them with little boxwood balls. I actually used some double
sided Velcro strips on the bottom to keep them stuck to the board.
I want to stay home all week from work now and catch up
on my reading in the back yard, who is joining me????

Taggalo Marries Video, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in Customer-Analysis PlatformThe Italian startup says its device and analytics service can help retailers better understand who their customers are, as well as their interests and patterns.
Nov 02, 2015—
Taggalo, an Italian startup that formed as a spinoff of Italy's National Research Council (CNR), a governmental body that supports scientific and technological research, launched its eponymous product last week. The Taggalo unit—which combines a video camera, a Bluetooth beacon and a Wi-Fi radio into a 4-inch-square, 2-inch-thick device—is marketed, along with a companion data-analytics service, as a means for retailers to collect a wide range of data related to their customers. The company is one of 12 startups selected for the Challenge Up Internet of Things accelerator program sponsored by Cisco, Deutsche Telekom and Intel. The program aims to stoke innovation among early-stage companies developing IoT technologies or IoT-based solutions. The Wi-Fi radio in the Taggalo device collects the media access control (MAC) address being transmitted by a customer's smartphone when she or he walks into the store (assuming the phone's Wi-Fi modem is turned on) as a means of tracking new versus returning guests. The unit's software records the length of time that each visitor stays within a Taggalo device's Wi-Fi range. Taggalo employs the SHA-2 hashing standard to encrypt the MAC addresses it stores. When a shopper returns to the store, the device can then use this hashing function to match the MAC address to the encrypted version in its database. (Shoppers can opt out of this data collection by turning off the Wi-Fi functions on their phone, the company notes, or by sending an email request to Taggalo.)The Taggalo device's camera takes video images of every shopper within its range. The software scans the video imagery and uses morphologic facial analysis to estimate each individual's gender, age and race as he or she moves through the store. The software then indexes this information based on store location, as well as by date and time. Taggalo suggests that retailers place one Taggalo device near the front door to capture video of shoppers walking past the store, another to capture customers moving into the building and a third inside the store. Taggalo stores the demographic data it derives from analysis—e.g., male, Caucasian, 40 years old—for 24 months. The Taggalo device analyzes the video in real time and does not save images of shoppers on the device or in the cloud. The Bluetooth beacon inside the device can be used to ping the smartphones of shoppers who have downloaded the store's app onto their phones, which then would advertise special offers through push notifications as they shop. Taggalo offers a service to white-label and manage smartphone apps for its customers. Retailers can access the shopper-analytics data in real time via a Web-based dashboard. In addition, they can access the raw data in order to integrate it into any in-house analytics software platform it already uses. |

I have become a fan of P. L. Gaus' Ohio Amish Mysteries. Here is a list of them so far.
Ohio Amish Mystery
I have linked the ones already cited in this blog.
I heard him speak at Bouchercon. He seemed like a nice man if a tad serious.
I like his books for their setting and for the continuing interplay between the four main characters.

Small Handwriting and Other Early Signs of Parkinson's

What are the early signs of Parkinson's disease?
What are the early signs of Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological movement disorder that, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), affects approximately 500,000 people in the United States.
Some early symptoms include:
- cramped handwriting or other writing changes
- tremor, especially in finger, hand or foot
- uncontrollable movements during sleep
- limb stiffness or slow movement (bradykinesia)
- voice changes
- rigid facial expression or masking
- stooped posture
PD starts with the brain cells, called neurons, which control movement. Neurons produce a substance called dopamine. PD sets in when the neurons die and the levels of dopamine in the brain decrease. The lack of dopamine is thought to result in the symptoms that affect the way you move.
Early signs of Parkinson's disease can be easy to miss, especially if they occur sporadically. It may be time to see a doctor if you are noticing symptoms that keep appearing.
1. Small handwriting
1. Small handwriting
A sudden change in the size of your handwriting may be an early indicator of Parkinson's disease. People with PD have a hard time controlling movement because of the changes in the brain. This can make fine motor skills like writing more difficult.
Micrographia is the medical term for "small handwriting." Parkinson's patients often have handwriting that looks cramped. Individual letters tend to be smaller than normal, and words are spaced closely. A person with PD may begin writing a letter in their regular handwriting but gradually start writing in smaller font.

2. Tremor
2. Tremor
Tremor is perhaps the most recognizable sign of Parkinson's disease. A slight twitching or shaking of a finger, hand, or foot is common. The person experiencing the tremor is likely to be the only person who notices them in early stages of PD.
The shaking will worsen and become noticeable to others, however, as the condition progresses. The tremor is usually most noticeable at rest.
3. Sleep problems
3. Sleep problems
Everybody has trouble sleeping from time to time. Tossing and turning takes on a new meaning when you've got Parkinson's.
Early signs of the disease can include many uncontrollable movements, not just occasionally, but on a regular basis. Kicking, thrashing, flailing your arms, and even falling out of bed can be indications of a serious problem.

4. Stiffness and slow movement
4. Stiffness and slow movement
Parkinson's disease mainly affects adults older than 60. You may feel stiff and a little slow to get going in the morning at this stage of your life. This is a completely normal development in many healthy people. The difference with PD is that the stiffness and slowness it causes don't go away as you get up and start your day.
Stiffness of the limbs (rigidity) and slow movement (bradykinesia) appear early on with PD. These symptoms are caused by the impairment of the neurons that control movement. A person with PD will notice jerkier motions and move in a more uncoordinated pattern than before. Eventually, a person may develop the characteristic "shuffling gait."

Parkinson's disease affects movement in different ways, including how you speak. You might be familiar with the slurred speech of advanced PD patients. Less dramatic voice changes can occur in early stages of the disease.
Your enunciation will most likely remain crystal clear early on in PD. You may, however, unintentionally be speaking more quietly. People in early stages of PD often speak in low tones, a hoarse voice, or with little inflection.

6. Masking
6. Masking
Parkinson's can affect the natural facial expressions in addition to gross motor skills. People often comment that some individuals with PD have a blank stare.
This phenomenon, called masking, is a common sign of early PD. The disease can make movement and control of small muscles in the face difficult. Patients may have a very serious look on their face even when the conversation is lighthearted and lively. People with PD often blink less often as well.
7. Posture
7. Posture
The wide, uncontrolled, involuntary movements of Parkinson's disease don't happen overnight. Posture will change in small ways at first, and will gradually worsen.
A stooped posture that can also be described as leaning and slouching is an early indicator of PD. This posture has to do with the loss of coordination and balance affecting the body.
Back injuries can also cause stooping, but patients with back injuries may eventually straighten up again after a period of healing. People with PD often are unable regain that skill.

Voicing your concerns
Voicing your concerns
Parkinson's disease is a serious and chronic condition. PD treatment is significantly more successful when the disease is caught in its earliest stages. Diagnosis can be difficult, as many of the early signs are similar to those in other health conditions.
You know your body better than anyone else. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about your physical movement or behavior, or if something doesn't feel right.

So this is how it is without your love.
So this is perfectly fitting that I sense your body rising up.
You're a comfort to taste but I wake to no one there.
So you're tracing over all these curves cut in you.
So you traced then all to me.
And I'm afraid that it's out on me and it's all so clear now.
The word is out on me that I'll finally be found.
Somebody's tracing over,
Somebody's dragging over,
Somebody's tracing over me.
This is how it is without you.
You are the tap that's reaching me.
Volcano eyes that keep me warm I turn for heat but I wake to no one there.
So you've traced my number.
So you've gathered it all up.
So you're catching up to me.
Tracing on the line that made me free.
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/elliott/carving_oswego_lyrics.html

Take this day as an opportunity to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
The day is Yours, also the night;
You established the moon and the sun.
You set all the boundaries of the earth;
You made summer and winter.

Sony PlayStation (PS1) PAL Model SCPH-7502
The Sony PlayStation.... the console that almost wasn't.
Back in 1986 Sony and Nintendo were in bed together creating a CD ROM based add-on for Nintendo's Super Famicom / Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) that was loosely dubbed the 'SNES-CD'.
In June 1991 at the Consumer Electronic Show Sony gave punters the first look at the what was now called the 'Play Station' (note the space), a hybrid, all in one CD ROM Super Famicom/SNES system. However, a day after it was unveiled Nintendo broke their partnership with Sony in favour of creating a system with Philips and to top it off they'd be using the technology used to create the existing system.
To Sony President Norio Ohga this was the most humiliating 'yo' momma' joke imaginable and he set Ken Kutaragi the task of creating a new console that would outrival the one Nintendo and Philips were planning to create. Time went on, the project wasn't going great and was almost scuttled by doubting senior and older Sony executives. It was only Kutaragi reminding Ohga of the terrible insult Nintendo had exacted upon him that saved it. As part of its salvation the project was moved to Sony Music which is financially separate from Sony.
Doing so prevented a souring of relationships between Sony and Philips over the development of the MMCD which eventually blossomed into what we now know as the DVD.
Nintendo tried to further impact on the Play Station's release by filing a lawsuit in the US Federal Court stating that they owned the name 'Play Station' but the case was closed in the favour of Sony paving the way for the new Play Station to be showcased in 1991.
A further deal with Nintendo was agreed upon which saw the Play Station get a SNES ROM cartridge port but by 1993 the development of the Play Station had moved towards more current technologies and the port was removed. At the same time the space between Play and Station was also removed as a final cutting of ties with Nintendo.
The Sony PlayStation as we know it was first released to Japanese consumers in December of 1994 and almost a year later to North America, Europe and Australia. It was extremely successful which saw it become the first game console to sell more than one hundred million units and production of the PlayStation ran for eleven years.
Earlier models had issues with heat and the laser mount being too close to the power supply. This saw the laser's travel move out of alignment causing juddering during Full Motion Video (FMV) and eventually games to loading at all. The practical solution was to put your PlayStation up onto its side or perch it upside down which was a common solution that worked surprisingly well.
Licensed PlayStation game titles came on black CDs. The top surfaces were printed with the relevant game art, title, copyright information, etc. but the undersides were totally glossy black. Much speculation about why this was done arose and many thought it was from of copy protection. In truth, it just looked cool.
While the PlayStation launched at a reasonable price in the United States, consumers were burnt in other parts of the world such as Australia where the unit went on sale for $700 - $799 depending on the retailer. The price then dropped only a few months later to around $400 before dropping again. It's speculated that this made Australian consumers disinclined to rush to purchase new console hardware in the following years before waiting to see what would happen with the price. This pricing concern was reinforced with early sales of the Microsoft XBOX being far more expensive than the console retailed for once initial sales had been made.
There's plenty of good sites on-line detailing the PlayStation's system specs. but safe is to say that it was and is an amazing console that truly deserves the appreciation it's given both in hardware and supporting software titles. With its small footprint and robust design, enthusiasts will be able to keep and enjoy their units for years to come. Due to the relative ease that the console can be modified to play unlicensed and pirated software its modern day life has been extended even further. Model SCPH-7502 (the final number indicates the county released: '2' for Australia)The PlayStation was released in numerous different revisions which mainly focused on the removal of unused, unpopular or expensive to supply ports. Initially the PlayStation had a SVideo jack but later revisions saw this, the RCA and Parallel ports removed. The SCPH-7502 pictured below retains the Parallel and Serial I/O ports. The Parallel port was to be used for additional hardware but this never eventuated and was more commonly used for unlicensed cheat cartridges and add-ons that would bypass copyright and regional locks-outs so the port was removed. The mother board on 900x series is also smaller than previous models. Most changes were driven by cost savings in production.

Muhammad Ali's Enduring Legacy for Me: Don't Change Your Name at the Slave Market of Consumer Appeal and Demand?
Muhammad Ali insisted people call him by his chosen name, and not his "slave name," Cassius Clay (See the video "What's My Name?"). It cost Ali PR in certain circles outside the boxing ring for insisting on his chosen name; it seemingly cost others inside the ring (though one should note this deconstruction of the legend surrounding Ali's fights with Floyd Patterson:) for not desisting in calling him Clay.One might argue that Ali the showman chose to make money as someone many loved to hate … [Read more...]
"I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine": Bob Dylan in an MTD Age
One would be hard-pressed to determine the meaning of Bob Dylan's song, "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine." The lyrics are mysterious and haunting. Dylan sings of dreaming about St. Augustine. Which one? St. Augustine of Hippo, the great African theologian and bishop? Augustine the missionary to Britain who became the very first Archbishop of Canterbury? What does the blanket stand for? Why is Augustine wearing a coat of solid gold? Why the reference to there being no martyr among the kings and quee … [Read more...]

God Plays Favorites. How Fair Is That?
In his reflections on Psalm 2, John Calvin speaks of the nations' rebellion and rejection of God's Anointed One, the Messiah or Christ, whom Calvin believes is Jesus. Calvin asserts that although "the Lord shall have for a time apparently taken no notice of the malpractices of those who oppose the rule of his Son, he will suddenly change his course, and show that he regards nothing with greater abhorrence than such presumption."[1] Calvin references Jesus' words in John's Gospel: "Anyone who does … [Read more...]
Is It a Fundamental Human Right to Live off God's Grace as Borrowed Capital with No Intent of Paying Back?
Is it a fundamental human right to live off God's grace as borrowed capital with no intent of paying back? Often, we live as if God will be gracious to us, no matter how we live. Voltaire, the deistic critique of orthodox Christianity in the 18th century, was reported to have quipped, "God will forgive; it's his business." Is it? How do we know? Was Voltaire living in light of borrowed capital from the Christian tradition he rejected without paying tribute?Voltaire was likely far more cogniza … [Read more...]

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!like the school said they would, and i no longer had any way of getting to and from DUI school at all. It has been almost a year since my last class, DMV only recently updated that I am not in compliance, still nothing from court. I am afraid of going to jail for the VOP, and less afraid but concerned about losing the 6 months credit. Can an attorney tell me what I need to do to get this addressed the best way possible? What are the judges doing on average in Sacramento when this happens? My home court judge really hated how i got 3 so quickly and rejected the plea deal i got with the DA, and subsequently got it approved by a traveling judge when she was out of town. Home court wanted 210 days ST, I got 150days house arrest, concurrent time, and the dui school. Am I going to jail for VOP?
My attorney, who was great since i didnt spend a day in jail and thats all i wanted (and paid a hell of a lot to do), no longer will represent me. He ended up representing other members of my family and things got messy in unrelated things and now I feel like i'm on my own.

You need an attorney. It is possible that jail time can be given .,

You need to deal with this sooner rather than later. It will only get worse with the passage of time. A locally experienced DUI attorney may be able to have you re-referred to the alcohol school without you having to be present in court. Good luck.
Jasen Nielsen
As a former prosecutor who now practices DUI defense, I would suggest that you not wait for the court to violate you but that you bring an attorney with you and set your case on calendar and explain your situation and ask for re-enrollment papers. In most cases a court will be much more lenient if you step up to the plate and ask to be put back into the program. Most programs will give you credit for the time you served as long as there is a valid reason for the absence. Good Luck.
