So if feelings aren't your thing, look away. My babysitter has stopped showing up. Just stopped coming. Says her driveway is too snowy (even though it's 50 degrees) so I've begun the slow, gut-wrenching task of trying to find childcare for my three daughters.
Part-time childcare.
Ever done something so sad? Not sad because the poor dolls will be cared for by someone other than me, but because one faces the grim edge of the childcare crisis in this fucking country when one attempts the audaciously hopeful but ultimately vain task of finding care for under $2,000 per month even in a crap hole backwater like Bellingham.
What I've found today: waiting lists, waiting lists, they can fit one of my twins but not both, they have room for Violet but not the twins, they can take them but only for two hours every third day.
I was starting the long process of researching private full-day Kindergarten for the twins for Fall 2007 because Bellingham doesn't offer full-day public Kindergarten…. only from 9-11:30am M-F which is sort of like "Kindergarten dust" if you ask me.. what with all the driving and lugging around and schlepping. The twins are going to chew off their own heads if they have to have another under-stimulated — over-televisioned year at home.
So now I'm utterly scrambling, and missing work, and getting impatient emails from my boss who wonders why I'm not there, and trying hard to not cry in front of the girls (& failing) and losing hope in humanity. What good are stainless steel appliances when one doesn't have proper health care and public education is a rotting hellish cesspool?
If my only option is one of those creepy places in a strip mall, I'll have to hang up my finance garb for awhile longer and try to not go to a mental institution and stay at home.
In other news, I'm dissing coolness over at Babble today.

Throughout history, more than 150 successful medical uses of marijuana plants have been identified, effectively tested, publicly used, and reliably trusted. In Medical Uses of Marijuana, author Joseph W. Jacob provides an extensive chronological history of marijuana and its medical uses throughout the world in the last 10,000 years.
Thoroughly researched and documented, Medical Uses of Marijuana discusses:
- The many and varied health benefits of marijuana use
- More than 150 destructive medical harms of drinking alcohol
- Discriminatory government laws allowing public ingestion of alcohol, while prohibiting the use of marijuana
- The process by which marijuana use became illegal due to taxation laws
During the last 10,000 years, people from countries throughout the world—including China, India, Arabia, Africa, Russia, and Japan—have employed the use of marijuana to treat a variety of ailments. Initially intended to be used for the medical benefits of everyone, natural marijuana plants have successfully treated and healed many ailments. Medical Uses of Marijuana seeks to provide the truth about the loss of the legal use of this beneficial plant.

He's always saying he's too tired for sex when I should be the one saying that..
He barely ever likes to do anything with me that i like to do..
He just plays his racing games all day like a little kid..

thats not enough to say he's gay! maybe he's just bored with you
The point of dating is finding someone you're compatible with. Obviously ya'll are not. Leave now. He wants to play video games all day, which doesn't nod towards any sexuality really, and you want him to get it on with you. Go find someone who wants what you want and be happy.
November 12, 2012 at 2:12 PM
Probably not gay. Just bored with you and/or getting it from some where else.
November 12, 2012 at 2:26 PM
Bored- Find some one new that is into you. Good Luck.

No, that doesn't sound like he is gay. It sounds like he is someone who just doesn't have as mutual of an interest in sex as you do.
It is common in relationships for either side to not feel sexually intimate with their partner. A lot of womyn are saying "well, maybe he is bored of you.". But have you ever taught maybe he doesn't feel close to you? As human beings we evolve all around as time goes on, and it is necessary for couples to always continue to get to know each other. So start slow, go on a date or have a date at home where you cook dinner watch a movie, and see how that feels. Or have dinner and talk. Talk about anything but make it a positive conversation. If in anyway he goes sour? That's when the concerns should come into play.
by MojaveGreenNovember 12, 2012 at 3:06 PM
Most of everyone in here is right, but you need to talk to him on how you feel and lesson to what is going on with him. In a relationship it is never 50/50. What is need is communication. So the both of you know where you stand. Before you just dump him.

We worked with Stratton to define and evolve their brand, to give them the focus and the personality required to drive (pardon the pun) the Stratton brand forward.

It didn't take long for the liberal media to start testing the waters on the O'Donnell Parking Garage tragedy. It's a tragedy that happened in Walker's backyard, and it simply too good for them to waste.
Joel McNally, from the Capital Times, wrote a piece trying to connect the county's deferred maintenance of the parks system to the tragedy at O'Donnell's Parking Garage. It was an attempt to blame County Executive Scott Walker without explicitly making an accusation. Such attempts are cowardly because they provide the writer with plausible deniability if he was ever called to the carpet.
I'm not exactly sure what passes for journalism or essay writing at the Capital Times, but I'm pretty sure they can do better than this. Besides the basics of lacking a clear thesis, McNally's article also lacked a fair gathering of the facts. For example, it might have been helpful to know that the original architect of the O'Donnell Parking Garage was fired and sued by the Milwaukee County government nearly two decades ago.
The article ended up being a hit-piece on Walker and all those who share a "right wing ideology" of tax cuts and controlled spending. The article made a few points worth refuting.
First, McNally stated that Walker represented a more extreme version of a tax-cutting philosophy and that he was responsible for the deterioration of our nation's premier parks systems. Again, McNally is selective with the facts. What McNally didn't mention is that the Milwaukee County Parks won a national gold metal of excellence last year from the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration and the National Recreation and Park Association. Liberals like McNally are rewriting history, and it's important that they are corrected when it happens.
Second, McNally stated that Walker blatantly attempted to shift blame to his predecessors for the original design and installation of the decorative panel. In McNally's world, he wants to believe that Scott Walker's tax-cutting philosophy contributed to the deterioration of the O'Donnell Parking Garage. Unfortunately, McNally's world isn't real, and there is no evidence that links deferred maintenance to the slab of concrete that fell.
Democrat officials may be spenders, but they are also practitioners of cronyism. And it appears that the original architect of the O'Donnell Garage was offered the job without proper vetting. Unfortunately, cronyism resulted in a few shortcuts and ultimately an inferior design. Almost immediately after completion, the parking garage showed signs of stress, deterioration and structural weaknesses. In order to rectify the problem, tons of soil were removed from the fourth story of the building and its structural supports were reinforced and strengthened. McNally neglected to mention this history ostensibly to lay blame on Walker.
McNally said nothing about the architect, how he was hired, why he was fired, and that the Milwaukee County government pursued a lawsuit against him. Was Walker shifting the blame? Such a question presumes Walker is blameworthy.
If you were the County Executive, what would you do if all the critical, potentially critical, and necessary repairs were made to the parking structure, and yet this tragic event occurred nonetheless? If there was no deferred maintenance on the building, logic leads you to something more fundamental or more architectural with the structure.
To McNally, however, Walker's deferred maintenance must be the cause of the collapse because he want to say, "I told you so." But the county released a report of all the maintenance done on the O'Donnell Parking Garage, and it showed that nearly all of the violations were corrected. If McNally refuses to believe the report, then that is his right. But as a "state columnist", it is his duty not to cherry pick the facts.
McNally has an ideological problem with fiscal conservatism. By scaling back funds to the public parks, McNally argues that it will burden our grandchildren with millions in deferred maintenance. On the flip side, however, it is not sensible to pour millions into the public parks when 10% of our taxpayers are jobless and when most are forced to make cuts to their personal finances. Public funding should always reflect the taxpayer's ability to pay. When people start trimming their own budgets, the government should do likewise.

Retro TV Friday: The Wuzzles!
7:50 AM Posted by CalgaryDaddy
Wuzzles features a variety of short, rounded animal characters (each called a Wuzzle, which means to mix up). Each is a roughly even, and colorful, mix of two different animal species (as the theme song mentions, "...livin' with a split personality"), and all the characters sport wings on their backs. All of the Wuzzles live on the Isle of Wuz. Double species are not limited to the Wuzzles themselves. From the appleberries they eat to the telephonograph in the home, or a luxury home called a castlescraper, nearly everything on Wuz is mixed together in the same way the Wuzzles are. ( From: Wikipidia)
Some of the characters were:
- Bumblelion: Half bumblebee and half lion
- Butterbear: Half bear and half butterfly
- Eleroo: Half elephant and half kangaroo
- Rhinokey: Half rhinoceros and half monkey.
- Moosel: Half moose, half seal
What a neat idea for characters! I am surprised that Disney has not tried to bring this show back for another generation!
Happy Weekend!

BEAR CREEK TOWNSHIP -- If you don't have E-ZPass and don't carry cash, you might be relieved by a new way to pay for tolls on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. You can pay with a credit card.
The new payment method at turnpike toll booths is a relief to turnpike drivers who don't carry cash.
"If I don't have the money, I will just go through the fast lane without having an E-ZPass sticker and they will just mail be a citation. They mount up pretty quick," said Joe Holden of Philadelphia.
The turnpike commission says credit cards are not its preferred method of payment, but it should be used instead of running through E-ZPass lanes if you don't have cash."
"It would be nice (if they accepted other payment methods) but even credit cards is better than just cash," said Sean Haley of Allentown.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission actually started allowing drivers to pay with credit cards at toll plazas last month but most people didn't know about the new method of payment because the turnpike commission does not want backups at toll booths with drivers processing credit card payments. It prefers people get an E-ZPass over using credit cards. The commission says credit cards should be a last resort to avoid a ticket.

No more ethical foreign policy?
Britain's strictures to foreign governments are being mocked from Iran to the Turks and Caicos Islands, as world leaders seize on stories about MPs' bloated expenses claims as evidence of moral decay in the UK.
Accounts of MPs billing the taxpayer for duck houses and moat cleaning have been lapped up around the world and have posed a problem for British diplomats who have previously been vocal in criticising corruption.
Mark Malloch-Brown, the foreign office minister, deleted sections of a speech he gave in Mozambique this month, fearing that his comments on higher standards of governance might be greeted with scorn. His fears may have been justified, judging by the apparent delight being shown by leaders in recent days over the Westminster expenses scandal.

How can politicians make rules that we are expected to abide by when they themselves are no better than common criminals.ReplyDelete
In fact common criminals are better in that they would openly admit what they are - this shower are that hard faced, they simply brush it aside.
No politician will ever be able to tell me how to run my life and how to behave, MY standards are way above theirs.
And what an example they set to young people - no wonder the UK has a yob culture problem with these corrupt bast*rds to look up to... mentors ?... I don't fuc*ing think so !
I think it's a mistake to make too much of hypocrisy in foreign policy. As an American, I feel forever indebted to England and the world she helped shape for centuries. Whatever the moral component of British foreign policy might have been, my life is better because of you and your ancestors.ReplyDelete
Here in San Diego, I'm sure the Kumeyaay indians were morally superior. Had we followed their example, we'd all be digging for tubers with sticks.
- AnonymousJune 27, 2009 at 10:17 AM
The moral standards of MPs reflect those of their constituents.
The majority of people that I have worked with (in both the public and private sector) will claim expenses for whatever they can get away with, and think it odd that you don't.
(Indeed, you are a menace because your legitimate claims make theirs look excessive.)
- deariemeJune 27, 2009 at 1:59 PM
I'm confident that Mark Malloch-Brown, the foreign office minister, can elicit plenty of scorn without any help from the House of Commons.ReplyDelete

2 of South America's most iconic cities will soon have a faster link to Dubai and over 100 destinations worldwide when Emirates commences its daily non-stop service to Rio de Janeiro and extension to Buenos Aires from January 3, 2012.
"Both Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro are rightly renowned as world-class leisure destinations as well as important business and trading centres," said His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and chief executive, Emirates Airline & Group.
"Brazil has been part of the Emirates network since 2007 when we began flights from Dubai to Sao Paulo. With the country playing host to both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics, Brazil will be further catapulted into the world's spotlight, and we will be in a prime position to transport sports enthusiasts to these renowned events. Meanwhile, our first service to Argentina is a much-anticipated addition to our network which will open important new markets for us," added Sheikh Ahmed.
The Dubai-Rio de Janeiro-Buenos Aires service will be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft offering eight First Class Private Suites, 42 lie-flat seats in Business and 304 seats in Economy.
Throughout all cabin classes, passengers can enjoy over 1,200 channels of entertainment on demand on "ice", the airline's award-winning in-flight entertainment system.
Passengers flying Emirates from Buenos Aires and Rio will also be able to connect to Emirates' global network across the Far and Middle East, Indian sub-continent, Africa, and Australasia via its hub in Dubai.
Starting January 3, 2012, EK247 will leave Dubai daily at 0705h and arrive at Rio's Antônio Carlos Jobim International Airport at 1535h. It will depart Rio at 1720h, arriving at Buenos Aires Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Ezeiza) at 1930h. From Buenos Aires, EK248 departs at 2130h, arriving in Rio at 0120h the next day. The aircraft will depart Rio at 0255h, arriving in Dubai at 2235h.
Emirates operates flights on a daily schedule from Malta to Dubai via Larnaka, Cyprus.

DISCIPLE: Becoming disciples through bible study is an approach to Bible study that emphasizes disciplined reading of and listening to Scripture. It results in biblically nourished persons committed to live as disciples. During the course of 34 weeks, DISCIPLE groups move through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. All DISCIPLE Bible study participants will read more than 70 percent of the Bible. The Scripture for each session follows the chronological movement of the biblical story. DISCIPLE groups consist of 6 to 12 members and a leader and meet weekly for about 2 hours. Each participant makes a commitment to daily preparation (30-45 minutes per day) and weekly attendance at and full participation in the group study sessions. DISCIPLE aims at transformation, not just information. DISCIPLE calls on persons to submit themselves to examination by Scripture, to put themselves under the power of God's word, and to be changed by God's word.
Consider this opportunity to read and study the Bible in a small, covenant group and be challenged in your discipleship. Over the past ten years, thousands of church members all across the USA have found participation in a DISCIPLE program to be highly beneficial. If you are interested, please contact Pastor Juyeon.

After touring the Riverside Avondale homes, I began in earnest to look for affordable housing for myself and my family. And as luck would have it, I probably can't afford this house, either. Because it's the home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, the critically acclaimed author of numerous novels, two of which are Cross Creek and The Yearling, winning the Pulitzer Prize for the latter . Isn't this house charming? It's a lovely little farm house. Small. Quaint. Breezy. With so much history and literary infusion.
This is the table at which the masterpieces were born, right out there on Marjorie's front porch, for all the world to see. Just look at the lovely grove of trees standing beyond the screen, inspiring her, encouraging her...
This is the garden area, just behind the house. Apparently Marjorie was quite the outdoors woman, spending much of her days hunting and fishing, planting and harvesting. Writing and rewriting. Entertaining interesting and famous people, way down yonder in Cross Creek. People like Spencer Tracy, Ernest Hemingway, Gregory Peck, to name a few.
OK, break's over, on your feet, get back to work!
This is the tenant house, which is probably more in-line with my budget. It comes complete with a clothes dryer. See it, over to the right of the porch? And apparently it comes stocked with a maid and butler. No, wait! Those crackers are my parents! Poor souls, they had to go to work on a farm in order to subsidize their social security. They're OK, they'll get breaks... I'll treat them right, s'long's as they don't take advantage of my generous nature.
OK, break's over, on your feet, get back to work!

The Planning Commission of the Ayuntamiento of Vila has given the green light to the draft to build an underground car park next to the city wall, in the space now occupied by the Reina Sofía park.
As reported by the Ayuntamiento, the draft, which has obtained the approval of the Ponencia técnica del Pepri envisages the construction of four underground plants that would accommodate about 320 cars and also have room for 110 motorcycles, that will contribute towards alleviate the lack of parking in the neighbourhood.
The construction would take a buried surface 14,104 square metres, which would be covered on the outside by a green area of 12,481 square metres, which would replace the Reina Sofia Park.
The budget for the work amounts to €6.9 million. However, before developing the project and proceeding to tender, the Ayuntamiento must send the draft to the Comisión Insular de Urbanismo y Patrimonio Histórico Artístico for the issuing of a binding report.

Everyone around seems more interested in the happenings on the wedding night than the wedding itself but unfortunately, those details cannot (or should not) be divulged. So if you came back expecting those details, you can leave now so I can proceed with the more 'boring' details :)
The wedding ceremony and lunch followed by the jhooti fiasco finished up by 3pm and the reception wasn't until 7:30pm. We couldn't take Ash 'home' since we weren't home and Ginger wouldn't give us our room until the next morning. We were booked for the night at Mayfair anyway. So post-wedding, I crashed in my brother's room as we watched Lake Placid on Star Movies. Not exactly what you thought I would be doing after the wedding, eh? I wondered if the choice of the movie was a harbinger of things to come. Poor Ash on the other hand had to report for her makeup session couple of hours before the reception so she stayed put with her parents at Mayfair. Rest of our guests either snored away their afternoons or headed out to the city for some more shopping. Frankly, I couldn't understand how could you continue shopping in a city not really known as a shopper's paradise. These folks would go berserk in Dubai or Singapore. Probably they already had. Shopping, I feel, is more of a social activity that women enjoy whereas men have specific objectives when they are out to buy something.

I'm not sure why you pay for more for the chocolate looking one, but they both pretty awesome and will keep your 3DS safe and secure and it won't melt in the sun.

Once again I find myself in a quiet phase, unable to write the words that are spinning inside of me. I've been thinking about many things all night, the central topic being "who am I?" It's not quite as global as the question sounds. Who am I is centered more around my beliefs when it comes my pagan self.
I'm not sure what triggered these thoughts. Perhaps it was the debate that got started elsewhere, again, over pagan history, specifically pagan celebrations, and whether they were tied to old practices or the neo pagans of recent years. This is a no win debate, one that seems to be growing in intensity. Some will choose to continue the debate and this is good. We always need those who pursue history in search of truth. Myself, I love history but my energy is not for debates. At this time I just choose to be.
After some thought, it seems for me the divine comes from within, it is part of us, something we find for whatever reason. Perhaps we choose to look deep within ourselves, or that which is hidden deep within, chooses to find us. We can embrace whatever external things we might find along the way, whatever speaks to us, but without the force from within, it will ring hollow. It is not religion that I embrace, for I have never claimed to be a religious person. That's another debate for yet another day. What I have is a spiritual connection, one that feels the earth around me and the elements that are a part of it. There is also a strong tie to the moon within me and here I walk with the Goddess, "The Queen of the Night."
Today is the Autumn Equinox, and so I acknowledge this day, because it is part of the earth, the changing tide of the seasons. The energy inside us shifts and we move with those changing tides though we might not see it.
All of us on this earth, no matter what path we choose to follow, are tied to the earth's energies. They walk with us whether we have an awareness of them or not. If we open ourselves and feel the divine that waits within, we can embrace this earth, and realize that we are not so different, not really, from those who walk here with us.

ok,let's settle this once and for all...
Probably the statistics favor White because more people are better with White than with Black. This is most likely because Black has to unbalance the position to play for a win, while White has a tempo advantage in the Opening. Thus, White is easier to play; thus, more wins with White.
I am of the opinion that a perfectly played game will never be played simply because chess is so enourmously complex. We haven't even unlocked all its secrets yet; after nearly 500 years of playing it! (The modern version, anyway.)
In addition, the best move is not relative. Say, for instance, you play for the attack. There could be loads of good moves, but only one that wins. You play it, and win brilliantly. But then let us also speculate that the same position is played by a positional player who is interested in the strategy of the game. To him, the best move is a different one, and he plays it and goes into a winning Endgame. Both players won; both with good moves. Neither of the two moves, however, was better than the other. They were both winning.
On top of all that, some old smart people somewhere estimate that it would take computers hundreds of thousands of years to calculate the first single "best" move in the "best" game ever played. Based on this, I don't think that the perfect chess game will ever be played. In fact, since there are so many different styles and therefore different ways to win in chess, it is theoretically impossible to play a perfect game; even by computers. (Who are, by the way, extremely good at tactics but spotty at strategy.)
I say it's a draw. White starts with the iniative but, with perfect play, black can counter every move. That's my theory. Mankind has spent countless hours over countless boards for hundreds of years trying to settle this argument.
Once and for all.
White picks the attack so I would say white since the winner is usually the person who makes the next to last mistake.
If I play black against Gonnosuke then I have the advantage after playing the Caro-Kann.
Technically, assuming both players never make a mistake, the game's a draw. Even though white has the first move, Black SHOULD be able to equalize. Mistakes and how players capitalize on those mistakes are what decides a game. in an ideal sequance of moves, the games a draw.

It's been over a year now, and the first seafood caught off Japan's Fukushima coastline since last year's nuclear disaster went on sale Monday.
The sales were limited to octopus and marine snails because of the ongoing fears about radiation.
Octopus and whelk, (marine snail) were being sold because testing for radioactive cesium consistently measured no detectable amounts. They were caught Friday and boiled so they last longer while being tested for radiation before they could be sold Monday.
Flounder, sea bass and other fish from Fukushima can't be sold yet because of contamination.
"It was crisp when I bit into it, and it tasted so good," said Yasuhiro Yoshida, who oversees the seafood section at York Benimaru supermarket in Soma, which sold out of about 65 pounds of the snails and 90 pounds of octopus.
The March 11 earthquake and tsunami last year left the coastlines of northeastern Japan devastated, and displaced tens of thousands of people.
There is some hope now that things will improve, and that crabs would be next to go on sale as radiation had not been detected in them.
But there is a realization that improvement will take time, perhaps years, especially for other kinds of fish.
Radiation amounts have been decreasing, but cesium lasts years.
The octopus and snail were selling at almost half of what they fetched before the disaster, he said. But he said people were buying Fukushima seafood to show support for local fishermen.
Nobuyuki Yagi, a University of Tokyo professor studying the fisheries industry after the disaster, said serious concerns remain over whether anyone would buy Fukushima fish, and the key lay in finding the types of fish that don't store radioactive elements.
As the fishing industry takes small improvement steps, farmlands have also been contaminated, and every grain of rice will be tested at harvest in some areas before they can be sold. The image of Fukushima produce has been badly damaged and worried consumers are avoiding Fukushima-grown food.

Hope you're having a nice time in the city. Would have been fun to have met up with you guys for a coffee but I'm still at home with my leg up. Running injury sustained beginning of this week.

Katherine beat me to it - go to Kew! It's a wonderful place and definitely outdoors! But if it rains, there are the glasshouses to walk through. Oh, and cafes and everything.
It's their 250th anniversary year, so it's a good time to visit, and they have walking tours daily, and lectures too. Go look at their website!
And have fun at the theatre, too. :)

I've been to Londen twice, visited the ladies loo in Harrods once, but it left a lasting impression of chicness. Next time I will be sure to visit it again. But I'm not sure if that is an appropriate suggestion, since you are male ;-) Kew is perhaps a safer and more enjoyable option.
I came over from Rhymeswithplague, who mentioned us all. Glad I did. Enjoyed this post and your wonderful photos.
Hope you have a nice time in London.

The quest for better maps. • -2- THE GL03E . The only true representation of the earth's surface is a globe. A globe is not, however, the most desirable in other respects. To be accurate in detail, it inust necessarily be very large. It has been estimated that a globe constructed on a scale of 15 miles to the inch would be neerly 40 feet in diameter* Even the smaller globes are cumbersome snd expensive, and cannot be easily marked upon. Moreover, only a ->ortion the p;lobe can be viewed at a time. In order that the engineer, the navigator, and the military strate- gist be able to jnei-sure distances and plot positions conveniently, maps must be printed on flat surfaces. Various schemes have been devised to obtain a plane represents t ion of the earth, but all of tr ; em contain inherent errors. The brsic cause for this is that you simr;ly cannot make an orange peel lie flat and still keep it in one piece. i OBTAIN EC 1 I. FLAT VAP. One map with which almost everyone is familiar is the rectangular map of the world known as L'ercator's projection. It has been used since the 16th century, particularly as a navigation map. Figure 1 shows how it is produced. — i 1 ■ 1 5 _= . . Pig. 1 1 "Global Map Supplement." Washington Star, September 21, 1S42 , -3- Imagine that the earth is a hollow glass sphere, the land being painted black and the water left clear. Now suppose a cylinder of paper coated -with a material sensitive to light is -laced tangent to the earth, and a light placed at the center of the earth. The shadows of the earth's features will be projected upon the paper cylinder, which, upon being unrolled, will be a map of the earth. Near the poles the light rays have been assumed to bend, in order that they do not run off the map. The extreme polar regions cannot be shown at all. 2 The main fallacies of this map are apparent from its construction. Although it is accurate in the neighborhood of the equator, it becomes increas- ingly distorted as one approaches the poles. Particularly noticeable is the distortion of areas in the polar regions. Greenland appears to be larger than the United States, while actually it is less than one-third as great. Alaska seems to contain at least one-half the area of the Unites States; in reality, the ratio is closer to one-fifth. In Kercator's projection, the shortest distance between two points would seem to be a straight line. The real mini- mum distance will appear as a curved line, the projection of a great circle. This fact expleins some startling statements, such as: The shortest route from San Francisco to Fig. 2 Singapore passes through Alaska > Detroit and other -mid-western cities are closer to Russia than any of our seaports. 3 PARALLEL meridians on Mercator projection make it comparatively easy to draw but result in exaggerations at the poles. Above, Alaska and the U, 5. as they appear on the Mercator projection; below in true proportion. - "illlam Alexander and ■• . J. D. Allan.

Reader 's Digest , Feb., 1943, 88-92, -4- Other methods of flattening the eprth's surface employ a tangent plane, a tangent cone, or a series of tangent cones. A moment of reflection will show that they, too, are accurate only near the points of tangency. Although some of them show marked improvement over '.'ercator's projection, the distortion of distance, erea, and shape are still present. DEPICT I OK OF J_KE EtKTK £_ J_i_ S/M3 POSIT IP S. Too many maps always depict the earth's features in the same position. Figure 3 is not readily recognisable as the United States because most are used to seeing it right side up. Yet, this is how it looks from the north pole . The advent of the airplane particularly Fig. 3 has rendered useless the conventional maps of the earth. The unusual map in figure 4 is an aviator's view of the world. Conti- nents and oceans are no longer important $ airplanes soar over thorn both with equal ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in a one-on-one appointment for ELD or RWE?
Your ELD personal consultation with Dr. Elaine Khoo will help you identify your language development needs for effective academic communication. You may be assessed to establish the type of ELD support most relevant to you. You will also be guided in developing a plan of action to address your needs. Your RWE appointment, on the other hand, focuses on your academic writing skill development based on the writing you do through the Reading and Writing through E-mail (RWE) program. Both these appointments help you develop the skills you need based on your personal learning styles and preferences.
What is the ELDC?
The English Language Development Centre is an academic success support partner for UTSC students. ELDC works with students to develop their Academic English and communication skills, such as academic writing, academic reading, critical thinking, oral communication, academic vocabulary, listening comprehension, and academic participation strategies.
How can I find out when the workshops are held?
All ELDC co-curricular programming is listed on the intranet. You can also view the events calendar on our homepage. You can also download a schedule of our workshop dates, times and locations from our homepage. For the ELDSLI, visit our website and follow the links to register. For credit courses, visit the UTSC calendar and look under Centre for Teaching and Learning.
Where are the ELDC Offices? Where are the workshops held? How do I register?
ELDC Offices are located in AC310 (2 doors away from the bookstore), but ELDC workshops and Cafes are generally held in AC221 or AC219 (2 doors away from the library). The Academic English Health Checks are additionally held in the BV 498 computer lab. Sign up for all sessions on the intranet. Drop-ins welcome if space is available.
If a student participates regularly in ELDC programming, can they receive recognition? Are ELDC programs eligible for the Co-Curricular Record (CCR)?
Yes! The Communication Café Series (including Discussion Skills Cafés and Vocabulary Cafés), the Reading and Writing through Email (RWE) program, the WordPlay Series, and the Facilitation Training Program all offer a certificate for participants who meet the requirements. All of these programs are also eligible for the CCR, and participants who are awarded a certificate, will also receive a notation of their CCR transcript. Students enrolled in the ELDSLI who achieve the greatest levels of improvement and engagement throughout the program, and during their first term of university, are eligible to be considered for an ELDSLI scholarship and acceptance into the ELDSLI Scholars'Circle.
What is the difference between ESL classes, or English Academic Preparation (EAP) Programs, and the ELDC?
For one thing, ELDC is not about preparing students for university admission...we recognize that students are already here! Students need to develop their success skills immediately, and they need to develop their language and communication skills in relation to their courses and university life. ELDC's programs are designed for university and academic success. While ESL programs focus on helping learners to acquire the language for general daily life and conversational English, ELDC focuses on the academic and professional communication skills that students need in order to engage fully in their university life, and do well in their courses. ELDC works on a holistic model, which means that we understand that critical thinking, reading, interacting, communicating (orally or in writing), and becoming part of an academic community are skills that often develop together. In addition, ELDC is not limited to those who assess themselves as English language learners. We welcome a diversity of students with a range of English language communication competencies to participate in our programs. Language development, thinking, and communicating are life-long skills that require continual development within different contexts, with different purposes, and with different groups of people.
I have been accepted to UTSC! Does ELDC offer any summer programs that can help students to prepare for university?
The English Language Development Summer Learning Institute (ELD SLI) is a unique non-credit program that offers students the opportunity to learn the valuable academic communication and critical thinking skills they need to be successful at university. Through a carefully designed and stimulating curriculum, students learn effective strategies and language development skills, as well as make important networking contacts that will give them a head start when they begin their programs in September. Register through http://ctl.utsc.utoronto.ca/eld/sli
Are there any leadership programs offered through the ELDC?
ELDC offers two leadership and peer facilitation programs: 1. The Facilitation Training Certificate Program(FTC) is an opportunity for highly committed students who have attended the Communication Cafes series to participate in training designed to develop peer facilitation skills` and to take up a leadership-mentoring role in our academic community. 2. The English Language Learning(ELL) Peer Partner program provides an opportunity for students who wish to contribute back to ELDC and UTSC by sharing their experience and knowledge with incoming students who are seeking friendly support to help develop their English language and communication skills. Peer partners play a crucial role by facilitating ELD activities and supporting the development and networking of students within the community.

SHORT TERM: decline continues, DOW -160
Overnight the Asian markets gained 0.5%. European markets opened lower and lost 0.8%. US index futures were vacillating around neutral all night, and the market opened one point below yesterday's SPX 1676 close. Within the first few minutes the market dipped to SPX 1672, then bounced to 1677 by 10:00. After that the decline resumed. Around 2:30 the SPX hit 1657, then bounced to 1663 by 3:30. Heading into the close the SPX hit 1655 and ended the day there.
For the day the SPX/DOW were -1.15%, and the NDX/NAZ were -1.95%. Bonds lost 2 ticks, Crude added 50 cents, Gold slipped $3, and the USD was higher. Medium term support remains at the 1628 and 1614 pivots, with resistance at the 1680 and 1699 pivots. Tomorrow we may/may not get reports on Wholesale inventories at 10:00 and the FOMC minutes.
The market opened flat today and then headed south. After it dropped below SPX 1670 we upgraded the recent 1692 high to Int. wave B. Intermediate wave C appears clearly underway now. The decline did find support today, after a character change yesterday, in the SPX 1654-1665 range. Ending the day at its low SPX 1655. The DOW, which has been leading this decline, confirmed a new downtrend. We upgraded those charts to display a Primary III in place, at the September high, and Primary IV underway. Will do some calculations to estimate some support levels for this downtrend. Until then, Washington DC continues to hold the economy hostage.
Short term support is at SPX 1654-1665 and the 1628 pivot, with resistance at the 1680 and 1699 pivots. Short term momentum hit extremely oversold and we are due for a short term bounce soon. The short term OEW charts remain negative with the reversal level now SPX 1678. Best to your trading!
MEDIUM TERM: downtrend confirmed
LONG TERM: bull market

It's getting real at Dairy Queen this month, as the venerable fast-food chain stages an online battle between two of its Blizzard frozen treat flavors for autumnal supremacy.
The showdown: apple vs. pumpkin, and the best part of the tongue-in-cheek campaign from Kansas City-based agency Barkley is the rivalry it has created between "apple capital of the world" Wenatchee, Wash., and pumpkin festival home Caro, Mich.
After all the fan votes are counted, one town will be crowned Blizzard Treat Capital of the World. The other will be wiped from the face of the earth, I imagine.
Enthusiastic residents of each town really shine in campaign videos, as they extol the virtues of apples or pumpkins. I want to party with that Mike Myers-esque long-haired Wenatchee dude in the purple cap who says he "can't get enough apples" because "apples are just happy … happy fruit." Damn straight, my man!
That said, a compelling case is also made by the kid who proclaims, "I grew a 707-pound pumpkin."
All of these folks are clearly proud of their communities, but they're also wink-wink self-aware and in on the joke. It's all quite good-natured, and plays like both a spoof and a celebration of homespun Americana.
How do you like them apples? Not that much, apparently, as pumpkin's currently leading with more than 60 percent of the vote. Go pick your side.

OLIVERIO ALBERTO PERRY-TORRES, Plaintiff,
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Defendant.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: RICHARD LEON, District Judge
This is an action brought by plaintiff, Oliverio Alberto
Perry-Torres ("Perry-Torres"), under the Freedom of Information
Act ("FOIA"), 5 U.S.C. §§ 552 et seq., as amended, seeking
documents withheld by defendant, the United States Department of
State. Presently before the Court is defendant's motion for
summary judgment. After consideration of the parties'
submissions, the relevant law, and the entire record herein, the
defendant's motion is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
Perry-Torres is a Colombian national who has submitted several
visa applications to the American Embassy ("Embassy") in Bogotá,
Colombia to visit his family currently living in the United
States, See Pl.'s Resp. to Def.'s Mot. for Summ. J. at 2. Each
application has been denied based on allegations that
Perry-Torres is an illicit drug trafficker. Id. Plaintiff made
a FOIA request through the agency charged with handling these
matters, the Information Programs Services ("IPS"), to try to obtain a better
understanding of the basis for the denial of his applications.
Id. In response, the IPS searched two locations: the Office of
Visa Services ("VO") and the Embassy. Def.'s Mot. for Summ. J. at
2. Nearly ten months after plaintiff's request, he was informed
that a search of the VO records revealed five documents totaling
ten pages, which, he was told, were being withheld in their
entirety pursuant to Exemption (b)(3) of FOIA, see
5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(3) (2000), and Section 222(f) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act ("INA"). Id. Perry-Torres timely appealed this
decision and his appeal was denied by the Appeals Review Panel.
More than two years after the plaintiff's initial FOIA request,
a search of the Embassy was conducted, revealing another five
documents. Pl.'s Resp. to Def.'s Mot. for Summ. J. at 3.
Plaintiff was told that four of the documents were being withheld
in their entirety under Exemption (b)(3) of FOIA, but the last
document, Perry-Torres's visa application, was released with
excisions. Id. Unlike the documents found at the VO, however,
Perry-Torres did not appeal IPS's decision to withhold the four
documents found at the Embassy. Def.'s Mot. for Summ. J. at 3.
A. Summary Judgment and Freedom of Information Act.
Summary Judgment should be granted when the pleadings and the
record "show that there is no genuine issue as to any material
fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a
matter of law." FED. R. CIV. P. 56(c). A federal agency moving
for summary judgment in a FOIA action must prove, viewing the facts in the
light most favorable to the requester, that there is no genuine
issue of material fact with respect to its compliance with FOIA.
Steinberg v. United States Dep't of Justice, 23 F.3d 548, 551
(D.C. Cir. 1994) (quoting Weisberg v. United States Dep't of
Justice, 745 F.2d 1476, 1485 (D.C. Cir. 1984)).
To comply with FOIA, every federal agency must make its records
promptly available to any person so long as the request
"reasonably describes such records." 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(3) (2000).
FOIA reflects a general view that there should be full agency
disclosure, but also provides for several exemptions to protect
"legitimate governmental or private interests." Assassination
Archives and Research Ctr. v. CIA, 334 F.3d 55, 57 (D.C. Cir.
2003) (quoting Summers v. Dep't of Justice, 140 F.3d 1077, 1079
(D.C. Cir. 1998)). The Court reviews an agency's refusal to
disclose requested documents de novo. 5 U.S.C. § (a)(4)(B)
The moving party may meet their burden for summary judgment by
relying on affidavits or declarations along with any other
evidence. FED. R. CIV. P. 56(e). These affidavits or declarations
must describe "the justifications for nondisclosure with
reasonably specific detail, demonstrate that the information
withheld logically falls within the claimed exemption, and are
not controverted by either contrary evidence in the record nor by
evidence of agency bad faith." Military Audit Project v. Casey,
656 F.2d 724, 738 (D.C. Cir. 1981). These affidavits may be
submitted by an official who coordinated the search, and need not
be from each individual who participated in the search. See
SafeCard Servs. v. SEC, 926 F.2d 1197, 1200 (D.C. Cir. 1991).
In opposing a motion for summary judgment, a plaintiff must
offer more than conclusory statements. Broaddrick v. Executive
Office of President, 139 F. Supp. 2d 55, 65 (D.D.C. 2001)
(citing Laningham v. United States Navy, 813 F.2d 1236, 1241
(D.C. Cir. 1987)). Indeed, a plaintiff must establish that
either: (1) the Vaughn index does not establish that the
documents were properly withheld; (2) the agency has improperly
claimed an exemption as a matter of law; or (3) the agency has
failed to segregate and disclose all non-exempt material in the
requested documents. Twist v. Ashcroft, 329 F. Supp. 2d 50, 53
(D.D.C. 2004) (citing Piper & Marbury, L.L.P. v. United States
Postal Serv., 2001 WL 215127, at *2 (D.D.C. Mar. 6, 2001)).
B. The Plaintiff has Failed to Exhaust Administrative Remedies
with Respect to the Documents Found at the American Embassy.
As noted previously, the defendant searched both the VO and the
Embassy in response to the plaintiff's FOIA request. Def.'s Mot.
for Summ. J. at 2. The search of the Embassy revealed four
documents that were withheld in their entirety and one document
that was released with excisions pursuant to Exemption (b)(3) of
FOIA. Id. at 2-3.
Plaintiff now seeks full disclosure of these documents.
Judicial review of a FOIA request, however, is only appropriate
if the plaintiff has exhausted all administrative remedies.
Oglesby v. United States Dep't of the Army, 920 F.2d 57, 61
(D.C. Cir. 1990); Hidalgo v. FBI, 344 F.3d 1256, 1259 (D.C.
Cir. 2003); Sinito v. United States Dep't of Justice,
176 F.3d 512, 516 (D.C. Cir. 1999). And, it necessarily follows that a
FOIA suit should be dismissed if the plaintiff has failed to do so.
Hidalgo F.3d at 1260; see Dettman v. United States Dep't of
Justice, 802 F.2d 1472, 1477 (D.C. Cir. 1986). Here, plaintiff
failed to appeal the defendant's decision to withhold ...

Seriously. We're like 10ish days into our first Twenty-One Day Challenge and we already can't seem to keep up! We do go to bed pretty late so I guess we have to give Ryan some credit. We're tired. We yawn a lot during our 11:50pm stare-athons. But I really don't want to do another 30 minute round!
It went pretty well -the last one that is. Not excruciating. :) Our eyes were dry and the dog chewed up a toy because she knows she can get away with anything now. It's really odd to yell at the dog while gazing into your love's eyes.
I think now that we've done quite a few 10 min rounds and one 30 minute one I can say that the perfect (weird) date would include about 15-20 minutes of continuous eye contact. I kind of feel cut off as I'm really settling in when that buzzer goes at ten minutes.
So tonight, again, we have a 30 minute date. Did I say, "again?"
Oh yeah, and we're buying a condo. :)
...So we should have some pretty interesting conversation, right???

Sardine Run 2010
April 23, 2010
Greetings once again sardine run followers. It is that time of the year again when we at UKZN, and anybody slightly interested in the sardine run, are filled with excitement, anticipation and even a slight sense of trepidation. The trepidation stems from the annual concern for the quality of the year's event. We have not had a good sardine run since the epic 2004, when solid sardine run activity lasted well into August, and sporadic activity continued into September. 2005 was amazing for the 2 weeks that it lasted! Since then, activity along the KZN coastline has been very sporadic indeed.
This has not, however, been the case along the Wild Coast (south of Waterfall Bluff). Every year, during our sardine run research, we've encountered solid sardine run activity and have managed to achieve each year's research aims. Initially these aims involved conducting aerial surveys along the wild Coast to investigate sardine distribution along the east coast. Recent years have seen us filming baitballs in an attempt to understand the feeding dynamics of sardine run predators. By the end of last year's run, we'd obtained enough footage of baitballs, and are now conducting quantitative analysis this footage.
This year we are focussing our efforts on bronze whalers (Carcharynus brachyurus), known locally as copper sharks. These sharks have slipped below our research radar thus far, largely because of the difficulty in observing them. Thanks to the good folks at VEMCO (http://www.vemco.com), that is all about to change. VEMCO are supplying us with accoustic monitoring devices that we will "attach' to bronze whalers. Attachment is the fun part. We will need to catch red-eye roundherring (Etrumeus spp.) using lures and then we will implant our sensors into these fish. The red-eye will then be fed to a chosen bronze whaler by a diver, who will then return to the boat. It is important that we do not disturb the shark during attachment, as this may affect its normal behaviour. Feeding the shark is the least invasive method of attaching the sensor, and will enable us to obtain biological information about the shark using simultenous video logging. The research team will then follow the shark using a hydrophone and conduct simultaneous boat-based predator surveys.
Meanwhile, in the shark's stomach, the sensor will be measuring depth, temprature and changes in the shark's acceleration. The temperature measurement should allow us to determine when the shark is feeding, because when food is ingested, stomach temperature rises temporarily. All of this should provide much-needed insight into the role that these predators play in the sardine run phenomenon, and how much interaction there is between them and common dolphins.
It is still too early to make predictions about 2010 sardine movement up the coast. Each year during April and May we do see movement of fish up and down the SE coast, and there are, inevitably, false starts as sardine move eastwards, only to retract from their advances as conditions change. Our research has shown that movement is largely associated with cooling of continental shelf waters. Fish are often concentrated at the interface where cool water extending up the coastline meets warm Agulhas Current water that has invaded the continental shelf. If the cool water extends up the east coast, following upwelling in the Port Alfred region, then the chances of a good sardine run are enhanced. Let's hope this is the case this year!

The plot's moving kind of slowly right now, but it's important to work through these little things before the plot at large can be addressed.
After re-reading my own archives, I just continue to stumble upon loose ends, plotholes, etc. which all need addressing. But some of them are in the abandoned Majora's Mask parody, so I can't think of a clever way to handle them.
Also; DAMN but Ruby looks short. She's the same height as everyone else, but her jumper drags down a little so she looks like she has freakishly short legs.
But what the...? YOU ANNOYING! STOP CHANGING SOURCE LETTERS!!!
