I had a conversation with a friend this week about weight loss. She's overweight, doesn't like it, and has wanted to do something about it for years. She watched me lose 90 lbs and cheered me on, then as my marriage ended and the ugliness that followed, (follows) happened, she quietly watched me gain back 40. When I was slowly and steadily losing the weight before, she was supportive, interested, and curious. I kept her abreast of what I was doing, when she asked. But she wasn't "ready." She tried to lose some weight but it just didn't happen. Now again she has seen the weight I have lost since Jan 1st. She is curious, interested and genuinely happy for me. Talks about how she should lose weight, how she wants to, and how she hates the way she looks and feels, but the next statement is that she has tried and it just doesn't seem to work for her, or her life right now is too busy to really commit, or the family is a source of sabotage. There are other comments, we have all heard them, some of us have, maybe still, say them. I don't judge her. I try to support her. I offer her whatever encouragement I can without being "preachy." She has it in her head that she needs to lose weight a certain way. She has a plan and a best cast scenario, and unless everything falls into place for that, the whole thing is useless.
My Mom is the same way. She has thought she was overweight my whole life. I say thought because even when I was a kid and she was always on one diet or another, she wasn't overweight. I look back at pictures of her then and think what the hell? But anyway, she is always waiting for the conditions to be just right. "Can't start now, because summer is coming, and there are so many birthdays in summer, I don't want to miss the cake." Or, "I cant start now, it is almost Christmas and there are always so many goodies around it is just too hard." Plus when she does start, she wants big results fast and she restricts her food intake so much that it isn't long before she is feeling weak and deprived. This is the way she has 'lost weight' her whole life, and she is larger now than ever.
So what is the point of all this ranting you ask? Well I guess I kind of feel like we, as in a large part of society, seem to be of 2 minds when it comes to weight loss. It is either suppose to be easy, as in an operation, or a pill, or it is such hard work that it can't be done.
Well of course part of me does feel if it was easy, then everyone would do it, but there is no easy fix. But, on the other hand, I also feel like it is easy, or at least easier than most of us think it is. I know that there is a significant amount of truth to the fact that the conditions have to be right. By that I mean that we won't lose weight, or at least sustain the weight loss if we are doing it for the wrong reasons, or for someone else. I also acknowledge that realistically the right time to start to watch what you are eating may not be the week of that cruise that you have been dreaming of and saved for your whole life. Your head needs to be in the game, but maybe the actions, the right actions will get your head in the game. Fake it until you make it so to speak.
I guess what I think is that although it isn't easy, it isn't hard either.
I also acknowledge that what works for one person is not always the right approach for the next. But what I don't get is if your approach hasn't worked, or maybe it has worked, but not long term, then why do we insist on repeating it? Why are we so reluctant to at least try what has and is working for someone else? Especially if that someone else isn't trying to sell you something...
I swear I am NOT trying to be judgemental here, or impose my way of doing things on anyone, or in any way sound 'preachy', (although I am pretty sure this is how I am coming across.) I guess you all, (o.k. both of you...lol,) are the unfortunate recipients of my frustration with my Mom and friend. I just know that I feel so great that I am making progress every week, and every pound that comes off is a little bit of freedom for me, I want that so much for the people I care about.
I'm not saying that I am frustrated because they aren't doing it "my" way, but that they aren't willing to even consider that what I am doing could work for them, or for that matter that maybe something different from what they are doing could possibly work. I know there are so many opinions out there, too many, as many opinions as stars in the dark night sky. I know this can be overwhelming. But what is it about human nature and our minds, that believes that doing the same thing as we have always done will this time bring us different results?
This is some peoples definition of insanity....

For our National History Day project, I made a group website with three other members, describing how Alexander Hamilton took a stand in history. We went over his early life and his major life accomplishments. These include his work towards the financial system of the U.S. and the writing of the Federalist Papers. Our group decided on making a website because we believed we would all be most effective on a website due to our set of skills.
Our group did not make it to the state competitions because of the ruling the judges gave us. One of the points where we missed the mark, was where we were supposed to relate our topic to the theme, taking a stand in history. After we saw the grading, we all came to the realization that we could have related to the theme more on our website. Therefore, we all agreed with what they gave us, although we are sad that we got the grain the first place. We all learned something from what they told us, and we'll use that information to further improve any new project that comes our way.
The most interesting thing we learned while researching our topic, was just how much Alexander Hamilton accomplished in his short life. He died at the age of 47 with so many things under his belt. He served as an important figure in the revolutionary war, he fought for the existence of the Constitution, and he fought all opposition for one of the strongest financial systems in the world. His life's work was for a strong Federal Government, and I believe we got it. It's so disheartening to hear that such an intelligent and innovative man died so young, with so many things he could have still done with a longer life. That is by far the most interesting thing I learned.
The hardest part of our project was definitely all working together efficiently and without procrastination. I feel like if we all buckled down and worked out hardest till the very end, we would have made it to state, but now all we can do is learn from our past mistakes. Nearing the end of our project, we came across some problems without annotated bibliographies and website. These came to be a big problem for a couple days. We had to virtually remake all of our bibliographies and fix the. Then our website also kind of messed itself up, so we had to fix that. In the end, we were faced with many complications.
I improved as a student in many ways because of this project. I learned a bit more on how to be a successful team member, and how to work and communicate effectively with a team.I also learned just how much I can procrastinate, which is something I definitely need to keep working on. Finally, I learned that you only get out, what you put in. If we put more effort and time in our project, we could have made it to state.
We could improve our project by relating each written section and page back to the main theme, taking a stand in history. This was definitely a huge oversight for us. This area was where we lost some points during the grading. Also, we could have refined our website more to make it as crisp, clean, and smooth as possible while still being unique. Maybe this is just me being critical, but I still feel like our website still looks unrefined and clunky.
What I'm most proud of during our project, is near the end of it. When we were nearing the final due date of the project, we all quickyl shifted gears and worked overtime to make up the time we lost. We worked in class and outside to get everything we could done and ready to go. I'm really proud of my group for doing this and accomplishing the project in time with a respectable end product.

The new handy food caddy is ideal for storing biscuits, cereals and lots of other dry foods. It comes with a convenient flip lid which makes access to the food inside very convenient. The container could be used with a small scoop or spoon, making it perfect for chefs where easy access to salt or flour is essential.
How do we measure our boxes?
We work on a general rule of internal = minimum and external = maximum. We measure our boxes ourselves. We measure them as accurately as we can, but they an approximation, and are there only to act as a guide. Boxes are generally moulded to stack and nest and most will taper towards the bottom of the box.
The internal measurements are the minimum measurements from the bottom of the box, and not always a true reflection of the box volume. We measure them this way so you can see if your item is going to fit in the box.
The external measurements are the maximum measurements of the box, so you can see if the box will fit in a particular space. If you are storing a particular item, we would strongly recommend that you contact us first so we can assist you in making the right choice.
Delivery costs are dependent on the size of the products being ordered, the value of the order and also the delivery postcode. There are several delivery options available and the best way to view which delivery options are available is to add your items to the basket and then view the delivery rates on the basket page by selecting your region.

How to Word Your Invitation When Asking Guests pay their way
Posted by watcharin yimram in Asking, Guests, Invitation
This was a "no host" would be dinner. You could offer appetizers, soft drinks, wine or beer, and then the guests have to pay for their main dinner. Throw in cake or dessert as the host. Depending on the number of people and how close these people are here for you, they could just call.
So you would say,
"We organize a party for John La Casita Restaurant, Wednesday, October 14 at 6 clock
Cocktail 6-7 hours (hors d'oeuvres served)
7 to 9 No Host Dinner
9 -1Celebratory Dessert
Call to let us know:
Something like that ... If you are anything like appetizers and dessert I would not call it an invitation is appropriate. The word the invitation shows that the treatment is to host something.
This type of survey would only be a postcard: "We gather for a Dutch Treat dinner to celebrate John's birthday." To name the date, time, etc., and a phone number to RSVP Yes or No
You are better spending less money onInvitations and decorations, etc. and treating people to coffee and dessert (for those who do not want to eat dinner). Just say, "How Can I Get Lucky?" "As a birthday present and wished that I would love to have you bring me a scratch-off ticket. I'm going to split my winnings with you!"
That is a lot of fun and it's a good way to minimize the guest's fears, "not" bring a gift. That's always a little uncomfortable for some.
I think it is good to ask for the guests to pay their way. They arehave organized the event for them and create the day, bring people together. In explaining the invitations, the activities for the day and say that you would love her to then pay with the family, but on the day a success so that every guest needs for their ticket and this will allow the cruise staff necessary for preparation for the numbers attending. It is not at all sticky. If the guests are missing do not want to pay then.
The first thing you must not call a"Invitation" or use the words "invited" because you are requesting payment. There must be an "announcement".
She would treat a "no host" or "Dutch" to event.
"We want to inform you that we honor," the already "in a Dutch Treat dinner on date and time on the ground."
Insert the card reservations for dinner with prices and selections ... if they come back, you know how many people will be there.
I advise against it, that people tell you, and then pay at the door. Youis probably a problem with people who do not appear to run, and you have reserved / confirmed, one dinner, you have to pay.
The best and proper planning, however, covers for all guests to a celebration cake, coffee, champagne, etc. at an hour after dinner like 8:30 and includes load a map for those who want to come at 6:00 and You pay for the dinner. In this way, all give an invitation and opportunity to come and honor them with your father-in-law. At 8.30 clockwith the full amount you can do special duties and presentations, spreadsheets, etc. are set for dinner guests and extra tables for dessert only guests.

Dedication and focus for more than 75 years
Our past makes us the company we are today. We have extended our range over the years, but we still aim to make high-quality products for sealing, absorption, and protection purposes.
We have always had close ties to sealing
DAFA A/S was founded in 1939 by Børge Norby, who established Dansk Tætningsliste Fabrik A/S for the manufacture and installation of bronze sealing strips for doors and windows.
Ole Norby took over the company in 1970 and stood at the helm until 2003, when Klaus Østerberg was appointed as the new CEO. He remained in this position until his retirement in 2007, when his son, Jacob Norby, became CEO.
Jacob Norby chose to stand down in 2014, and Bo Ankerfelt was appointed new CEO of DAFA A/S in October the same year. In the spring 2018, Jacob Norby is back as CEO.
DAFA A/S consists today of a parent company and head office in Denmark, and subsidiaries in Italy, China, Poland, Sweden, Germany, and USA. The group employs around 305 staff, and has annual revenue of approx. EUR 54 million.
Our passion is part of our DNA
We have stuck to our original core business – the manufacture and sale of sealing strips and jointing materials – throughout the years. But we have extended our product range significantly – particularly in recent years – with a growing focus on matching the different needs of our customers.
Crystal clear plan for the future
We have a clear growth strategy, and are mindful of the stronger competition on both the Danish and international markets. That is why we also have the clear aim of continuing our expansionary development, by adhering to the basic qualities which have always characterized DAFA: flexibility, quality products, and skilled employees.
Our customers work primarily in construction og industry. We also have considerable exports through the products we supply to Danish export companies.

So I have Resting Bitch Face in every single picture I took this week. What can I say? This week took a lot of Klonopin to get through.
It's Friday! I wanted to wear a fun dress! Obviously in thirty five minutes I will be coming home, removing all extraneous belts/necklaces/high heels, and throwing on a mismatched lumpy sweater and some flip flops.
{Ross Dress, Target necklace, Target belt, Hive & Honey heels}
This outfit was much cuter in person than it appears on camera. Trust.
{Old Navy Ruffled Henley, BR crops, Sam Edelman loafers}
I slept through three alarms and then threw this on. I really liked it though!
{Old Navy Trouser Jeans, Gap Blazer, Forever 21 necklace, Banana Republic Outlet shirt, Franco Sarto wedges}
I was just trying to make this shirt happen because I really love it but I don't think this was the way to do it. It ran a little too knitwear over knitwear over mom jeans, although I do really love this blazer and you should buy it.
{Target blazer, Banana Republic crops, Target earrings, hand me down shirt from Kate Welsh, J Crew wedges}
This is part of my "buy a generic black dress and then throw different things over it all winter plan."
{Kohls dress, Target infinity scarf, Anne Klein boots, Old Navy leggings}
Hopefully next week is less endless Halloween/mini emotional breakdown/40 degrees in the morning 8o degrees in the afternoon and I feel more inspired. Right now I hate all my clothes and plan to just wear target workout clothes all winter long. Should be hott.

decided: November 18, 1986.
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIAv.RODERICK HERMAN FREY, APPELLANT
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Criminal Division, Dated September 18, 1984, Entered at No. 169 of 1980.
Penn Bradford Glazier, Lancaster, for appellant.
Henry S. Kenderdine, Jr., Dist. Atty., John A. Kenneff, Asst. Dist. Atty., for appellee.
Nix, C.j., and Larsen, Flaherty, McDermott, Hutchinson, Zappala and Papadakos, JJ.
Author: Nix
[ 512 Pa. Page 560]
On post-conviction review we are here faced with the question whether appellant, Robert Frey, convicted of first degree murder by a jury and sentenced to death, which sentence was affirmed by this Court on direct appeal, is entitled to a new trial on the basis of after-discovered evidence.
On November 8, 1979, the body of Barbara Jean Frey, the estranged wife of appellant, was discovered in her automobile in a cornfield in Lancaster County. She had been beaten and shot in the chest, and had died from massive hemorrhaging. On December 6, 1979, appellant confessed to the investigating police that he had paid $5,000.00 to one
[ 512 Pa. Page 561]
Charles Zehring, whom he had met through their joint employment at Turkey Hill Dairies, to murder his wife. Appellant told the officers that Zehring had informed him that he (Zehring) would be assisted by another person at the murder, which would be arranged to look like an automobile accident. Appellant was subsequently arrested and charged with homicide and conspiracy.
At trial, appellant repudiated his confession explaining that he had been confused and frightened, and offered the following as a defense to the charges against him. While admitting that he had indeed paid $5,000.00 to Zehring, appellant characterized the payment as being the result of extortion. Appellant claimed that Zehring had an obsessive interest in appellant's marital problems and had conceived a marked dislike for appellant's wife. As a result of this bizarre reaction, Zehring had threatened to harm either appellant, his wife, or his son unless the money was paid. Appellant testified that he paid $5,000.00 to Zehring in an effort to keep Zehring from harming anyone in his family, and completely denied that he solicited Zehring to kill his wife. Zehring, who was incarcerated while awaiting trial on charges stemming from Mrs. Frey's death, was not called as a witness at appellant's trial.*fn1
Not surprisingly the jury rejected appellant's defense and, on May 14, 1980, found him guilty of murder of the first degree for the intentional killing of his wife. Following a separate sentencing proceeding, the jury sentenced appellant to death.
Appellant appealed directly to this court, pursuant to section 9711(h)(1), 42 Pa.C.S. § 9711(h)(1). After considering appellant's claims on appeal and also conducting an independent review of the record to determine if the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to ...

Cinderella is actually a very special hair metal band to me, for only one reason: they recorded this album. During the 80's, Cinderella was a very typical hair metal band, who sounded like every other hair metal band, and who only ever achieved mild success. Then in 1990, they recorded this album, which changed their style from normal hair metal to a bluesier, more classic one, and it resulted in one of my favorite albums by any hair metal band. The album is filled with bluesy Rolling Stones-esque riffs and gospelly vocals, and the songs themsleves are all amazing. Their next album, which was their last, returned to their previous hair metal style, but they still left behind this one album. An album that is their legacy in my opinion.

As part of the upcoming Clergy Gathering of the Holston Conference of the United Methodist Church the Hope Quilt will be on display at Colonial Heights UMC in Kingsport.
The Hope Quilt is made up entirely of squares that have been created by victims of sexual or domestic violence. Each part of the Hope Quilt is as unique as the survivors are themselves. The messages are of rape recovery, healing and encouragement.
The Clergy Gathering begins at 10:00 am. The Hope Quilt will be on display at our booth. When you stop by be sure to pick up information about domestic violence and sexual assault. This is offered as part of our activities for October's Domestic Violence Awareness Month. There will be plenty of information and bags for clergy will be available.
A book signing will take place at the end of the Clergy Gathering. The books Does God Still Love Me and Secondhand Hope will both be available at our booth.
Contact email@example.com if your church or group would like to display The Hope Quilt or host a book signing. These are perfect activities for Domestic Violence Awareness Month and a great way to spread the message of hope and healing to survivors of sexual or domestic violence.

Step 1 to prepare your deck for spring-Remove everything from your deck.
You want to make sure that your deck is as bare as the winter trees. Resist all temptations to leave the patio furniture and other large objects on your deck.
Step 2 to prepare your deck for spring-Power wash your deck.
If you don't own a power washer, a really good sweeping should do the trick. You could always rent a power washer for under $30 from one of the large home improvement stores. Once your deck is clean and dry you're ready for the next step.
Step 3 to prepare your deck for spring-Apply mold & mildew removal/prevention cleaner.
Here you have a few options. Do your research and see which product you believe will work best for you. Read product directions carefully before applying. Once the deck wash/mold & mildew remover is dry you can continue on to the next step.
Step 4 to prepare your deck for spring-Lightly sand your deck.
Before you begin sanding, you want to make sure the weather man did not call for any precipitation. If it rains at all during this process you will have to start all over again (power washing and sanding). I know it's tempting to go rent the biggest floor sanding machine to get the job done faster, but in reality these large sanding machines can't reach everywhere. Your best bet is to use a palm sander, belt sander, and a sanding sponge wrapped in sand paper. And don't forget your safety goggles and respirator. If you are even the slightest bit unsure about how to complete this task it's probably best to call a professional.
Step 5 to prepare your deck for spring-Stain your deck.
You can almost hear the laughter and chatter of friends and family enjoying food fresh from the grill that you prepared on your newly stained deck. But first you'll have to apply the stain. For decks, you will want a thicker stain, which will help protect it better. Clear coats and light stains are just a waste of time (unless you are staining a pergola, arbour, or something similar in size). Be sure you are using the proper stain brush. The last thing you want is to have to stain your deck twice!
Step 6 to prepare your deck for spring-Clean all items that were previously removed from your deck before putting them back.
This step is often overlooked. If you just put your furniture and everything else back on your deck, there is a possibility that they could have mold. This mold could then spread right back onto your deck causing you to return to step one!
Help others prepare their deck for spring!

Pie Menus for OLPC Sugar User Interface, in Python with GTK, Cairo and Pango modules.Submitted by dhopkins on Fri, 2007-03-02 06:23.
Pie Menus on Python/GTK/Cairo for OLPC Sugar, by Don Hopkins.
Python Source Code
Tar File with Source, Demos and Icons.
Demos of Pie Menus for OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) Sugar User Interface on XO Laptop
I've been doing some fun OLPC user interface programming in Python. The OLPC's open source software environment includes Linux (for operating), Python (for scripting), GTK (for widgets), Cairo (for structured/stencil/paint/outline graphics) and Pango (for formatted text with markup), and it totally rocks!
Four item pie menu with submenus:
Pop up the "Compass" pie submenu, which has eight pie items and three linear overflow items and select "NE". These menus support pure pie menus, pure linear menus, and hybrid pie/linear menus. They can limit the number of pie items to a convenient number like 8, and make the rest linear items.
Pop up a ridiculously complex "Ringed" pie submenu, which has four rings of items, the inner ring with only four, which are very easy to select, the next ring with eight, which are easy to select because they're further out, the next ring with 24, and the next ring with a bunch more, which are harder but possible to select. This is the ultimate stress test of ringed pie menus. (Well actually there is no limit to the number of rings, but too many rings and menu items may result in heavy, unstable, radioactive pie menus!)
Example SimCity Pie Menus
To demonstrate how icons can work together with help text in the footer, I've made a set of example pie menus for selecting SimCity editing tools (based on the graphics and layout of the old X11/TCL/Tk SimCity interface), in simcity_piemenus.py. Note: They do not actually do anything -- it's just a simulated simulation!
SimCity tool selection menu, with two submenus ("Zone..." and "Build..."), and six important quickly selectable editing tool items. Shows icons without labels, and descriptive help text in the footers.
SimCity Zone pie submenu. Six items for zoning residential, commercial and industrial, fire stations, police stations, and querying zones.
SimCity Build pie submenu. Six items for building parks, stadiums, seaports, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and airports.
OpenLaszlo YouTube Player Demo and Source CodeSubmitted by dhopkins on Tue, 2006-09-26 06:26.
I've been working on developing streaming video support for OpenLaszlo: LZX classes to support improved audio and video, including RTMP streaming via Flash Media Server (aka Flash Communication Server) and also the Red5 Open Source Flash Server, as well as streaming video via http. It supports playback of recorded FLVs, recording from camera and microphone, live two-way (or multi-party) audio/video conferencing, and FLV streaming over http.
It's easy to use the OpenLaszlo video components, because they're nicely integrated with the OpenLaszlo programming model. They expose logical attributes and events which make it easy to integrate video into OpenLaszlo applications.
To test it out the code and demonstrate its functionality, I've developed a simple YouTube Player in OpenLaszlo [click here to open it in a window]. It uses the YouTube ReST Web API, and some simple html screen scraping to get the URL parameters to stream the FLV file directly.
Here is the source for the test application wrapper that puts the YouTube video player in a resizable window, and the more interesting source for the youtubeplayer component, that uses the new OpenLaszlo video classes I'm developing (whose source is in this directory).
The new video classes and the YouTube player demo will be checked into the OpenLaszlo svn repository soon.
Here's a live demo:
Spice up PHP applications with OpenLaszloSubmitted by dhopkins on Sat, 2006-03-25 00:19.
Nicholas Chase an I have just written a three part tutorial for the IBM DeveloperWorks web site, about using OpenLaszlo and PHP to develop a distributed Knock Knock Joke (Ha! or Not!) application.
What is OpenLaszlo, and what's it good for?Submitted by dhopkins on Fri, 2006-03-24 22:30.
OpenLaszlo is an open source platform for developing user friendly web based applications, which work identically across all popular browsers and platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, IE, Firefox, Safari, etc). It's ideal for presenting and editing raw XML data generated by PHP and other web services.
OpenLaszlo supports a rich graphics model with scalable vectors, bitmaps, movies, animation, transparency, fonts, audio, streaming media, reusable components, user interface widgets, control panels, property sheets, keyboard navigation, browser "back button" navigation, as well as advanced WYSIWYG text and graphical editing tools. In other words, OpenLaszlo is the velvet glove for the iron fist of PHP. What can OpenLaszlo do?

Open Source SimFaux OpenLaszlo Code Now Available via SubversionSubmitted by dhopkins on Fri, 2006-03-24 22:06.
I've published the source code and content of SimFaux as Open Source Software. It's available via read-only anonymous subversion. Here's the command to get all the source code and content:
svn co svn://SimFaux.com/SimFaux/trunk/SimFaux
I've started writing a README.txt file, but that's about all the documentation there is so far.
SimFaux 1.0 README SimFaux is an interactive TV station simulator written in OpenLaszlo, by Don Hopkins, for the HuffingtonPost Contagious Festival. It's an open-ended framework for plugging together keyword tagged multimedia character simulations, video, text, quotes, surveys, interactive games and application. It's configured with XML files, so non-programmers can easily add characters, video and other types of content. It includes tools for validating, processing and compressing the content into appropriate file formats. ======================================================================== Installation:
Posted a new version of SimFauxSubmitted by dhopkins on Thu, 2006-03-23 08:15.
I've just posted a new version of SimFaux, which has a bunch more features, and many more quotes (tagged with keywords), to go with the new characters. Now there are 136 Frank Zappa quotes!
In Washington, they just look out for #1, and #1 ain't you. You ain't even #2.

FauxCast on Freedom: SimFaux as Open Source SoftwareSubmitted by dhopkins on Sun, 2006-03-19 17:38.
Somebody asked me about SimFaux:
This is pretty funny as it stands, but can it parody things Libs don't like to talk about like Dem politicos that flipflop every other speech, or Lib talking heads that forge news on the fly?
Of course SimFaux can parody liberals as well as conservatives, but the fact of the matter is that it's the conservatives who are fucking up the country right now and sending kids to die. The liberals are powerless and aren't the ones to blame for the horrible calamity that Bush has caused. So it's important to call the people who are causing the death and suffering on their lies.
The conservatives had their chance with Clinton's blow job, and they totally blew it with their self rightious indignation over harmless consentual sex. Talk about flip-flops: Where is the furious anger and relentless calls for impeachment now?
It's high time to impeach Bush for going to war based on lies and deception, sending thousands of Americans to their death, killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, leaking classified information about a CIA employee out of revenge for her husband telling the truth, breaking the law and subverting the constitution by spying on American citizens, his miserable failure with Hurricaine Katrina, his deep shameless corruption with Haliburton and Abramoff, etc. If you think none of that is any worse than a blow job, then you're a part of the problem.
I just started programming SimFaux at the beginning of this month, and the HuffingtonPost Contagious Festival has a 15 meg limit on size. But after the festival concludes, I'll host it on my own web site without any size limitations, put up a whole lot more content like characters, sound bites and videos, and release the source code as Open Source Software so you can modify it and put your own stuff in. But right now I have to cut it to the bone to stay within the 15 meg limit.
"FauxCasting" is a cinematic leap beyond podcasting and blogging, because it integrates keyword tagged text, video, sound bites, simulated characters and interactive widgets together in a way that the viewer has control over what they see and hear. You can experienced the joy of telling Bill O'Reilly to Shut Up and Go Away! The keyword tagging enables the characters and videos to interact with each other, and results in surprizing juxtapositionings, like Frank Zappa and Dick Cheney finding common ground by using the same cuss word that begins with F.
I'm inspired by ideas like Will Wright's "Designing for Emergent Behavior" and Chris Trottier's "Tuned Emergence" and "Design by Accretion", where the more content you put in, and the better you tune it, the closer you get to a nuclear reaction.
Sims Designer Chris Trottier on Tuned Emergence and Design by Accretion
"If a game isn't tuned, it's a drag, and you can't stand to play it for an hour. The Sims and SimCity were "designed by accretion": incrementally assembled together out of "a mass of separate components", like a planet forming out of a cloud of dust orbiting around star. They had to reach critical mass first, before they could even start down the road towards "Tuned Emergence", like life finally taking hold on the planet surface. Even then, they weren't fun until they were carefully tuned just before they shipped, like the renaissance of civilization suddenly developing science and technology. Before it was properly tuned, The Sims was called "the toilet game", for the obvious reason that there wasn't much else to do!"
I will soon release the source code and content of SimFaux as Open Source Software, so you can see how it works, create your own characters, sound bites, video clips, talking points, surveys, games, etc. If you want to do that yourself, you should become familiar with XML, and you should start learning OpenLaszlo, which is the free Open Source XML/JavaScript based language it's written in.
Here's another more down-to-earth example of what you can do with OpenLaszlo:
Have fun!
SimFaux now has WebCam Support and Simulated Internet Chat RoomSubmitted by dhopkins on Fri, 2006-03-10 08:55.
I've just uploaded a new version of the SimFaux Interactive Network News Simulation to the Huffington Post's Contagious Festival!
This version has WebCam support: you can display your webcam in one or more frames, FauxCast yourself on any Faux News TV channel, and interview the simulated characters in person! Don't let Bill O'Reilly tell you to shut up and kick you off!
It also has a new simulated internet "Faux Chat" room, which you'll have to try out because explaining how it works would spoil the surprize!
SimFaux Interactive Network News SimulationSubmitted by dhopkins on Sat, 2006-03-04 05:22.
I've just uploaded the first version of the SimFaux Interactive Network News Simulation to the Huffington Post's Contagious Festival!
It's pronounced "Sim Foe". Like the Colbert report: it's french, bitch!
It has an cinematic interactive interface consisting of several different screen layouts, each with a different number of frames, which you can configure to display a variety of simulated characters, streaming videos, interactive surveys, and text talking points. Here's the conference screen layout showing several videos, a couple of characters, a survey and talking points:
ScriptX and the World Wide WebSubmitted by dhopkins on Sat, 2006-01-14 09:32.
I wrote this in 1995, at Kaleida Labs. The web was so new and exciting back then!
ScriptX and the World Wide Web
"Link Globally, Interact Locally"
by Don Hopkins, Kaleida Labs
Benefit of ScriptX to Web BrowsersThe World Wide Web is an excellent way to distribute cross-platform interactive multimedia ScriptX objects. The Kaleida Media Player, running on net-surfing Mac and Windows platforms, can dynamically load in and plug together objects from "title containers" transferred over the web.
ScriptX title containers are portable files containing ScriptX objects, code and media: text, images, animation, sound, MIDI, music, movies, and modular object-oriented programs that plug together dynamically to orchestrate open-ended interactive multimedia experiences.
You can publish self-contained multimedia ScriptX titles (i.e. applications, tools, games, catalogs, presentations, documents), as well as reusable ScriptX objects (i.e. modular components, accessories, characters, places, clip-art, plug-ins, SimProducts), so people can download the ones they want, and compose and interact with them locally, on their own computers.
Web browsers such as NetScape can be configured to use the Kaleida Media Player (KMP) as a "helper application", so it's simple for people with NetScape and the Kaleida Media Player to download and interact with ScriptX objects: just click on a link to a title container, and it's distributed over the network and dynamically loaded into the Kaleida Media Player, where it comes to life!
ScriptX Pizza DemoThe ScriptX Pizza Demo, at "http://www.kaleida.com/official/pizza", lets you construct a pizza by plugging together ScriptX objects from several title containers delivered via the World Wide Web. First you select a pizza crust in one title container, then you can select any number of pizza toppings in separate title containers. They're dynamically loaded into the KMP and locally composed in a window, that you can interact with by dragging the toppings around on the crust. There's even a "big brother" spinning eyeball topping, that animates as you move your cursor around the screen!
This demonstrates network distribution of cross platform code and media, with local interactivity, direct manipulation, animation, dynamic binding, and plugging together objects from different containers.
There is an extension to ScriptX on the Mac that enables it to ask NetScape to open any URL, so ScriptX can cause NetScape to display a web page, load another title container, and even send messages to interactive web services (like submitting an order for a pizza).
ScriptX Web developers will go far beyond mere pizza toppings, publishing innovative interactive experiences on the network, no longer limited to the static text, graphics, and forms of HTML.
Benefits of ScriptX to Web DevelopersAs a general purpose object-oriented multimedia scripting language, ScriptX has many uses for web developers. It can import and export various file formats, index, search and manipulate multimedia databases, automatically generate HTML from macros and templates, draw and composite images and produce corresponding image maps, and serve as an open ended programmable hypermedia synthesizer.
For example, the ARPANet Map, at "http://www.catalog.com/hopkins/arpanet/index-large.html", is a web of html, gif images, and image maps, all synthesized off-line by ScriptX from an abstract topological graph of the network.
Future DirectionsAs described above, there are many interesting things that can be done by distributing files generated off-line by ScriptX, including title containers, HTML pages, images, and image maps. This can be taken much further by using ScriptX as an interactive on-line web server, synthesizing distributed hypermedia on demand!
There is an experimental extension to ScriptX on the Mac that enables it to be used with MacHTTP as a "Common Gateway Interface" server. It's possible to link to a running ScriptX program, that dynamically interprets URLs and forms results, and generates responses on the fly.
ScriptX can produce and respond to web pages with forms and pictures (buttons, scrolling lists, text fields, and clickable images), that most web browsers support. We have developed an experimental framework of classes for generating HTML from ScriptX objects, and programming interactive Web services with forms, macros, and high level HTML widgets with clickable images. It's possible to implement image maps that send events directly back to the ScriptX presentation and model objects that rendered them. Example web services that have been implemented with this framework include class and generic browsers, and a scrolling zooming image browser.

Human history is the story of restless people always on the move. In Mankind: The Story of Us All, Pamela D. Toler introduces the connections that led to our domination of the planet. It's a vast task that she handles well.
Human history is the story of restless people always on the move.
In Mankind: The Story of Us All, Pamela D. Toler introduces the connections that led to our domination of the planet. It�s a vast task that she handles well.
A companion book to the History cable series Mankind, the book stands on its own. Too many history books are dominated by Western culture. Mankind covers world culture.
Toler admits that even scientists are still in conflict about some basic facts:
�There may have been up to 100 hominid species that coexisted in Africa between Lucy�s time (3.5 million years) and the arrival of modern humans around 150,000 BCE. We don�t know how they relate to each other, or which species we can call our direct ancestors, but after much controversy, anthropologists are in generational agreement about two groups of proto-humans with whom they think we have more direct familial connections.�
The first chapter, �Seeds of Change,� covers early man, the creation of tools and the development of hunting. The ice age arrives and humanity retreats into caves to survive � and to record its existence.
Toler writes: �Paintings and carvings created by ice-age human give us our only clues about how these ancestors of ours thought. They are also the first examples we have of humans thinking symbolically. Symbolism is the basis of language and every other form of culture.�
Humanity�s movement is bound with nature. The weather changes; the ice recedes. People move on, pushing against other groups who also survived. Kingdoms rise, conflicts ensue, slaughter happens.
�The life of Genghis Khan, born Temujin, is an example of survival of the fittest in human form �p p p p p one exceptional person triumphing against hostile nature and human forces to move mankind into a new age. The Earth has become hotter. Khan responds by taking his people and livestock into greener pastures to the east. Soon his realm � the Mongol Empire � includes every acre and person from China to the Mediterranean Sea.�
There�s more to Mankind, however, than just chapters on war and power struggles.
Innovations such as the printing press change the balance of power as now books can be read by all.
Christopher Columbus lands on Hispaniola in the search for a passage to China � and inadvertently leaves behind a deadly disease, smallpox, which will kill more than a third of the native population.
Science flourished in the ninth century: �Scholars in Baghdad could measure the Earth using astronomical readings with a degree of accuracy unsurpassed until the 20th century.�
Trade allows the plague to come from China along the trade routes and kills millions in Europe, changing the power structure of the medieval period.
Everything is connected.

6:50PM - my day
this is how my day went.
Saturday, November 29, 2008
6:52PM - life
So thanksgiving went really well. mike went home with me. my family loves him, so thats good. Everything has been really good with us lately. We definetly worked out the kinks and smoothed things over. This friday will be 8 months. This is the longest anyone has ever stuck with my crazy ass. We are so crazy together but i love it. I would not trade him for anything in this entire world. Just think, come this summer, I'll be Mrs. Kramer.
Saturday, November 1, 2008
5:24AM - so....
me and mike have been together for almost seven months. It will be seven months this wednesday. I am going home for thanksgiving and I am so happy about that. I just want to cook some good food and have some good times. only 23 days until I am back in western washington!
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
2:08AM - late nights
Mike called a few hours ago and he was talking about the military. He doesn't know it but I started crying. I'm strong and I know it. I've known for a while that he wanted to go, but that doesn't make things any easier. It's not like i can just say "I love you but I don't want you to go." Its his life and regardless of the the fact that I am a big part of it, I can't stop him from doing what he wants to do in life. It is insane how much I love this guy, real mature love. It's different this time and I know people always say that but it's true. I had a dream he was coming back in uniform and I was crying and holding on to him. Why do things have to be so difficult?
In grandma news, they think she'll be going to die pretty soon. My mama is having a really rough time in st. Louis. i can't help but feel sorry for my mom. She has been through so much this year.
Friday, July 4, 2008
12:21AM - I staying up
My Mom is flying to St. Louis in a few hours to go see my grandma who might be dying. It's so strange you know? I don't really know her as well as I could and for some reason I feel guilty about that. I miss Mike A Lot. He is all the way across the state while I am here in Spanaway. I miss everything about him. The way he smells, the way he feels, and way he talks, just everything. This is insane. I don't think I have ever missed someone this much in my entire life. He told his parents that he's in love with me. She then asked if I was the One. what does the one even mean? I can see us together for a long long time and for some reason that doesn't scare me like it used to. I love him so much. I really want these next two weeks to go by fast. I'll pray for my mom.

12:30AM - Update
So, this is how my life is going. I have been mostly in moses lake for the past few months. I have been busy and pretty darn happy. I am dating a guy named mike who I absolutely love. He thinks I'm cool even when I'm a raging bitch. That's pretty hard to find. My life makes sense lately. Right now I am at home in spanaway being bored.

7:35PM - hey you
Life is going well. Right now I am home until sunday. It's strange being home. In a weird way, I miss job corps. Now I realize why I don't come home more often besides cost. They drive me nuts. (that down there is me and mike (boyfriend).)
Sunday, April 20, 2008
1:16AM - here I am
Here I am in moses lake. I miss home like crazy and somedays I am frustrated to no end. Things are going well though. I'm dating a guy named mike. He's pretty darn cool. I miss my family a lot. that's about it.
Wednesday, February 13, 2008
9:15PM - when did I forget how to be me?
When did I forget how to be who I am? When did I get to this point. It feels like I forgot how to love. somehow I forgot to open up. It's hard to pick or the phone or type a few words. At some point, I just got numb from the pain.

9:10AM - 8 things
8 random things about me:
* LJer's that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* You cannot tag "whoever wants to do it"
I laugh really loud
As much as I complain about country, I kinda grew up on it and I secretly listen to it
I play with my hair when I am nervous
I like dancing like an idiot with my little sister
when I am on the phone I pace or walk away. seriously I'll end up a mile or two away and wonder how I got there.
If I dislike you, chances are I won't dislike you forever. I tend to forgive pretty easily.
I really like grocery shopping.
Coffee makes the world go round.
A lot of times, I knit when I am stressed.
Monday, January 28, 2008
12:33AM - a year
It's crazy how much a year can change.
A year ago I....
Was in a relationship
Willy was still alive
was a lot happier
life changes and you just have to roll with the punches.
Happy Birthday to me.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
11:08PM - Dear world
Life really isn't so bad.
Thanks for showing me that tonight. I guess lately I had just taken everything half empty. Life could be worse, and there is always a plan even if not revealed. Who needs to know everything?
Wednesday, January 9, 2008
12:42AM - Dear World
I really feel as though I need to find some way tobust through this rut. I'm not happy, and it's been a while since I have been. I really think it's situational and enviromental. Ok I'm done.
Sunday, December 30, 2007

I am thankful for family and friends who are always there even when I'm distant.
Tomorrow should be fun. Home repairs, and new floors.
Monday, November 19, 2007
12:16AM - God please give me strengh.
I can't do it alone, trying to make through alone seems worthless. I am going crazy with sara at home. I need some patience. This is why I don't have kids.

GTA: Chinatown Wars is as much a test for Take-Two as it is for Nintendo. Gamasutra reports on Creutz's bullish investor note, where he expresses that the title will reveal Take-Two's "ability to make inroads" on Nintendo's platforms.
On the flip side, he expresses that Nintendo wants Chinatown Wars to succeed because it appeals to core gamers, whom Creutz apparently thinks Nintendo still gives a Yoshi's turd about.

Saint Petersburg Classic Ballet returns to Sheffield with a magical production of one of the best-loved Russian ballets, Swan Lake. This youthful company combines classical training and superb artistry with dazzling choreography, delightful costumes and stunning sets, to present a truly mesmerising performance, complemented by the thrill of a live orchestra.
Swan Lake is Tchaikovsky's masterpiece, a tragic tale of love and betrayal accompanied by a glorious and instantly recognisable score. This is the epic story of Prince Siegfried and his love for Odette who, tricked by the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart and his daughter Odile, would rather die together then live apart.
Live for 5

Week 9: DONE!
13 comments:
Awesome Heather. Every semester I bookmark all the TT blogs. There is always one that stands out above the rest and this time it was yours. I appreciate all the extra time you have taken to document your journey and I look forward to any more advice you have regarding TT. Although I can't think of any questions I have at the moment, I'm sure that I will have some as I get closer to Spring training.ReplyDelete
Brian Keith
Yay! Thanks Brian. So kind of you!ReplyDelete
Now I may just plot a trip to Canada / USA just to have you mercilessly murder me
you look great, refreshed and happy.
i think you would be great as a visiting teacher so i wouldn't rule that out.
hope your teaching is going well.
thanks heather for sharing your experience of TT with us....soooo nice to follow you and your blogs...been fun...we currently have a teacher visiting and teaching at our studio from USA...Luke Miles?? know of him? he is great...funny guy...anyway if u ever get chance to come over to sydney Australia def come by our studio:)ReplyDelete
thanks once again and HAVE A VERY MERRY XMAS AND GREAT FUN/EXCITING NEW YEAR and enjoy being a teacher......
OHHHH YES I HAVE A QUESTION.....how hot is it suppose to be in the rooms?
I dont just mean degress(i do celcius) i mean the humidity? as we have had classes were its been 85%humidity and 38C...DAM i died in that class and so did rest of class...so i just wanted to know what bikram says about temps?
Hi Kylie... Humidity shouldn't be more than 45%. The temperature of the room should be about 40 degrees C.ReplyDelete
Bikram actually doesn't go into much detail about the temperature... Or much of anything that is useful, to be honest. (That's one thing I would tell people about going to TT... His lectures aren't going to prepare you to be a teacher. They are useful to understand his history.)
WOW...so geeez our class really did cop it that day!!! we have 1 or 2 teachers who like it hardcore as they learnt that way(which are teachers i love and do classes) but at moment when its humid outside(which sydney weather right now is)it is blooody hard to do it and i cant breathe properly and i dont like to take a knee down to much as i feel disrepectable to the teacher(that is just how i brought up)...yeh interestin u say that about bikram as a few others have said that in there blog too:( which is a shame and I personally found that with his wife at her last seminar she did over here this year..I find that disspointing. anyways thanks for answering my question and being honest too....ReplyDelete
I like your blogging process! It has been great to get to know you a little bit through these videos. They are inspirational and help keep us students focused... if you can do doubles for 9 weeks in a row- then i can go to at least a couple of classes every week. Thank you so much for sharing and if I visit Toronto, you better believe I will be stalking your class :)ReplyDelete
Congrats on your first class! And welcome back to reality. I CANNOT believe you went back to work the Monday you got back. I had a very hard time getting back 2-1/2 weeks later... so kudos to you and your ability to deal with that transition so easily! Best of luck with everything... teaching gets better and better every time!ReplyDelete
Hi Heather. I am grateful that you posted this final video. I hope you will do more. Also, as a marketing person I would really appreciate a video blog on on-line marketing tips or strategies. You have a strong and appealing and credible delivery. I would guess you would have a good following. Best Regards, Karleen.ReplyDelete
I just want to know what Bikram said or did that got everyone so riled up on their blogs. It was a Friday class towards the end of TT....just wondering.ReplyDelete
I won't say specifics. I will say, though, that the thing with Bikram is that he likes to challenge people mentally and "steal their peace." As to whether he truly means what he says when he tries to get under your skin, I lean towards "no."
I don't like the method. But it is a part of training and one people should be prepared to go through if they choose to go to training.
It is now 2013 & I will be 60yrs old by the time I attend Teacher Training-2014 hopefully. Your blog is the best I have come across & you are such a beautiful & articulate person. Thank you so much for all the insight I have gained, my apprehension has diminished greatly. A very, very big THANK YOU.ReplyDelete

Healthy snack: roasted kale (really!)
My CSA puts out a newsletter each week with recipes that incorporate some of the produce in that week's bin. One week in early summer they listed a recipe for roasted kale and claimed it's, "better than potato chips!" I hung this on the fridge and looked at it daily for several weeks before I finally worked up the gumption to actually test it out. Oh. My. God. They weren't kidding.
I have two kids. My 6.5-year old daughter is a good eater and will often try new things, while my almost 4-year old son is a bit of a challenge. Never in my wildest dreams did I think one of my kids would eat kale in any form. But guess what? Roasted kale is light and crispy and tastes like salt. I had to quickly take this photo before my daughter gobbled up THE ENTIRE PAN:
Here's what you do:
Remove the tough veins and toss the kale with a little olive oil. Roast on a baking pan at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes. Turn it and roast for another 7-10 minutes. Sprinkle with sea or kosher salt.
What you need to do is watch these little suckers as they roast, because the minute they start turning brown they get a certain burnt-kale taste that doesn't quite measure up to potato chip standards. I ate the brown ones. Go for the green. I think you could store these in a sealed container for 2-3 days.
Even if your kids don't like it, you will. Moms need a healthy snack, too!
