New York Magazine's Gabriel Sherman is saying that the most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media could be firing himself out the cannon. Three sources and of course the agitator himself confirmed the news.
If I have anything to say about @FoxNews I will say it tonight at 10 est. All I'll say now is this is true. https://t.co/VNN4MJ1udd— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) May 1, 2017
According to 3 Fox sources, Hannity has a "key man clause" in his contract that would allow him to quit anytime. He's v. loyal to Shine.— Gabriel Sherman (@gabrielsherman) May 1, 2017
Somebody HIGH UP AND INSIDE FNC is trying to get an innocent person fired. And Gabe I KNOW WHO it is. Best Sean https://t.co/W3BJ2wjzRD— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) April 27, 2017
Sean "Softball" Hannity, the most condescending agitator to ever hold a television and radio show may use his contractual "out" in response to the Fox News' ouster of Bill Shine, the disgraced co-president of the network.
The biggest whiner of the junk food media is blaming everyone for his fuck buddy's ouster and this country's leader and his fucked up agenda.
He invented so many stupid memes about the left. He used the alt-right term "snowflake" to describe liberals and conservatives who oppose the leader. He calls the junk food media the "alt-left, destroy Trump media."
He continues to regurgitate the former president's name. Even though he's long out of office, the softball continues to say his name as well and Hillary Clinton in regards to what the leader's doing.
He continues to beat a horse dead when it comes to Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, and Saul Alinsky.
He can't do a show without insulting those who oppose this leader and him.
Many on the left and the right accusing him of spinning fake news. They call him the most "dumbest" of the right.
His word vomit is worthy of a board game. You can actually count how many times he says something over and over. You can count how many times he interrupts a guest he doesn't agree with. I bet you money, he will bring up a familiar name in his rants.
He has "smeared, slandered and besmirched" Barack Obama during his two terms as the President of the United States. When people call him out on his bullshit, he threatens to sue and boycott those who oppose him or the leader.
The softball has that "thrill up his leg" when it comes to Donald J. Trump. He is steadfastly defending the former billionaire reality television agitator turned leader of this stupid country.
Tonight the softball teased the news that he may bounce off Fox News.

Bright Network
Diversity & Inclusion Conference 2017
27 March 2017 London
155 Bishopsgate,
London EC2M 3YX
Put your firm's commitment to diversity at the top of the agenda with Bright Network's exclusive inaugural Diversity & Inclusion Conference.
This event will help you access an exceptional talent pool, identifying future leaders for your business from underrepresented groups, while positioning your firm as a pioneer in social mobility, diversity and inclusion.
The Issue
The UK's leading employers struggle to connect with and employ bright graduates from diverse backgrounds. Research into diversity and inclusion shows that:
- More BAME students feel their background and lack of a network are a barrier to securing a graduate role compared to the average undergraduate (Source: Bright Network Research 2016/17)
- BAME men think it's 16% more important to secure a graduate role than achieve a top grade at university compared to the average undergraduate (Source: Bright Network Research 2016/17)
- Men are 13% more confident than women they can pursue any career path they wish (Source: Bright Network Research 2016/17)
This is both a moral issue about our society being a just and fair place, and an economic one with the UK's leading employers not fully benefitting from this exceptional talent pool. As a result the economy grows slower, producing fewer jobs and tax revenue.
The Conference
The graduate careers network Bright Network will connect leading employers with over 250 undergraduates from underrepresented groups at its first Diversity & Inclusion Conference on Monday 27th March.
The conference is designed for firms which want to engage the brightest undergraduate talent, with a focus on diversity and inclusion. Confirmed sponsors include Accenture, Baillie Gifford, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, E.ON, London Business School, Bank of England, BP, London Stock Exchange Group, Unlocked and Vodafone. AIG is the event's Premier Sponsor.
The all-day event aims to improve the skills, connections and confidence of undergraduates and to help them get ahead in their careers. It will include:
- A keynote speech from Sandra Kerr OBE, National Campaign Director for Business in the Community's Race Equality campaign,on the importance of diversity in the workplace
- Two panel sessions during which you can showcase your firm's role models and commitment to building a diverse and inclusive workforce
- Structured networking with 250+ pre-screened Bright Network members
- A CV Book with a copy of every attendee's CV & full data ownership
- An award ceremony
More than 250 pre-screened undergraduates will attend from the following groups:
- Black heritage students
- Asian and minority ethnic students
- Women
- First generation university students
- Non-selective state-educated students
- Disability
Each student has been assessed on the basis of academic attainment; home postcode data; Polar 3 Data; demonstration of extra-curricular activities beyond academia and right to work in the UK without sponsorship and/or a visa.

Mike Keppler, Marriott International, Added to Program of Business Ecology Initiative Conference 'Optimization for Innovation'
Mar 04, 2011, 10:07 ET from Business Ecology Initiative
March 22, 2011, Arlington, VA
NEEDHAM, Mass., March 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- OMG's® Business Ecology® Initiative (BEI) today announced that Mike Keppler, SVP, Global Sales, Marketing and Revenue Management Systems for Marriott International, will present "Creating Sustainable Innovation through Business Ecology at Marriott International," at the "Optimization for Innovation: Business Technology Reset for the New Normal" conference. The one-day conference will take place March 22, 2011 in Arlington, VA, USA. For more information on the conference visit http://www.business-ecology.org/pr.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100630/BEILOGO)
The inaugural Optimization for Innovation conference will feature a mix of industry experts and practitioners from such leading organizations as Pfizer, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, VITAS Innovative Hospice Care and Forrester Research. Participants will be exposed to new ideas and take away action plans to start making positive change in their own organizations right away.
Marriott's Keppler will talk about how Marriott launched two strategic products – its new Autograph brand and the Ritz Carlton Rewards program – in parallel in less than 12 months. Building on top of a powerful core of existing integrated business processes, organizational structures and systems, Marriott was able to quickly deliver benefits to both its top and bottom line with these new capabilities. Key to Marriott's success has been its commitment to many business ecology precepts, in particular, the elimination of functional and process silos; the concept of reuse -- e.g., using SOA as a springboard to capitalize on emerging mobile platforms; real-time intelligence; and business technology convergence. In this session, Keppler will describe Marriott's approach and the company's impressive results.
Additional Presentations Include:
Keynote: "Business Innovation in the Cloud," by Peter Fingar, Author and Business-Technology Advisor
"How Capabilities Assessment Can Increase Effectiveness and Minimize Risk," presented by Aleks Buterman, SenseAgility
"Business Architecture: A New Foundation for Business Transformation," a panel discussion led by William Ulrich, Consultant, Strategic business / IT transformation planning
"Connect the Docs: Innovation and Integration in a Healthcare Ecosystem," presented by Christopher Rieder, SVP & CIO, VITAS Innovative Hospice Care
"Avoid Process Data Headaches: Align Business Process and Data Governance Initiatives," presented by Clay Richardson, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research, Inc.

Game of Thrones co-creators David Benioff and D.B Weiss revealed it on an interview on the UFC Unfiltered podcast that Season 7 will take ...
Game of Thrones Season 7 Will Be Delayed
Benioff and Weiss said,"We're starting a bit later because at the end of season this season, 'Winter is here'-and that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes any more. So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim, grey weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot."
Aside from the delay, there's still another bad news. Game of Thrones is drawing to its endgame. GoT Creators reiterated that the show is down to its last two seasons and they have agreed before to do it in 70-75 hours. With six seasons down, which means we've already seen 60 hours, the remaining 15 hours will be divided in two seasons. If you've done the math, that would mean lesser episodes for the remaining two seasons. Longer wait for lesser episodes. Could there be any sadder than that? Now that GoT is almost done, fans are hoping if they could make another series as good as GoT or a sequel perhaps to this much-loved HBO series.

I am delighted to announce that the winner of my Christmas Card Competition this year is Nancy, aged 10, from Spooner Row Primary School – with her design "Sounds of Christmas".
As ever, the standard of entries was incredibly high, reflecting the hard work put in by all pupils and, of course, the inspiration of their teachers across our area. I therefore also chose three highly commended entries too – from Dakota, Harry and Athena.
While I would normally be signing and stuffing over a thousand Christmas Cards at this time of year, I have instead decided to save money and trees by embracing the 21st century and sending my Christmas card by email.
Instead of the cost of the cards, I'm making a donation to the fantastic EACH Children's Hospice who are raising funds for a brand new state-of- the-art centre for palliative care for children in Norfolk: see here for more details.
I wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas, and congratulations once again to Nancy for her wonderful design.

Here are a couple ways to use this set...
you can make candles with the "washi" stamps. I added dimension by using dimensionals to the middle candle. Since this set is photopolyer, it makes it easy to line everything up nicely.
you can use pieces of washi tape and add flames to the tops as candles. I like this-and it's quick and easy.
And you can make a layer cake with the "washi" stamps. (now as a 4th option, you can also use the washi tape as cake layers)
this set is really fun to play with!
thanks for stopping by.
Happy stampin :)

All Becuse of Beauty
Jennifer Liu, 10/19/12
English, Period 1, Ms.Lambert
Imagine the bell ringing at lunch time, and walking to the cafeteria with a group of friends. Imagine everyone else munching on their sandwiches and eating their desserts. Then imagine yourself, afraid to eat food, afraid to take into your body the necessity of life. You are so afraid of eating food that you starve yourself daily, sticking to your own false impressions that your body is not in good shape. You have a fear every day, the fear of becoming fat. You have Anorexia Nervosa.
What exactly is Anorexia Nervosa? It is an eating disorder characterized by bad eating habits, intense weight loss, and illusions of one's own body. The people who are thought to have Anorexia have a true fear of gaining weight and getting fat, therefore they try very hard to become more "fit" by literally starving themselves, exercising long into the night, and resorting to unnecessary methods. When people with Anorexia look in a mirror, they have an imprecise image of themselves. They may see themselves as being obese when they're actually already very skinny. Their fears cause the images of themselves to change. There are many factors that cause the issue of Anorexia Nervosa. Some causes may be a distorted body image that a people start to see of themselves, which causes them to worry about their appearance. In actuality, their body is healthy and fine, even though it appears to look different in a mirror. Also, many girls have an ideal body image of being skinnier, most likely affected by skeleton-skinny models and other people around them. They will start feeling pressured because everyone around them is skinnier, and will want to lose weight to fit in and be popular. They want to meet up to their own (and other people's) expectations. Because of their desire for "beauty" (because many girls believe the only way to be beautiful is to be skinny), girls will start to become anorexic. The problem...

Spades shuffle into Timmins Thursday
If The Spades don't break out across Canada it will be a crying shame.
The depth of song writing on their new CD "Subatomic" is fresh and fully matured, but it still retains an organic and at times reckless feel.
Just to be sure, I will definitely be checking out The Spades tonight at The Vic after listening to their CD.
In addition, I will be featuring some of the tracks on my upcoming Collection of Songs radio show.
It took me a weekend of listening (four complete listens) to really get deep into new cd. The 11-song disc is mixed very nicely by Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar fame. The The Spades' tracks like "Tear it Apart," "Can't Sleep," and the Hipsounding "Standing in the Sun" are a perfect vehicle for Johnson's extremely organic "headphone mix."
Other key tracks are the altrock
single "The Revenge of Johnny Laundry" and the gorgeous, sleepy feel of "The Only One."
It should be noted Gord Sinclair of The Tragically Hip produced this CD and he has harnessed the band's tracks into a what I like to call "a whole" album.
In basic terms, there is a continuity to the CD.
It's easy to see in different videos and with the feel of the recording, the band's sound is taken from a Trews/Joel Plaskett (one of my fave Canuck songwriters) vibe and condensed into a trio format.
The Peterborough-based trio has toured across Canada in support of Matthew Good and others a few times and their show at The Vic should be a very cool.
The band is composed of James Mckenty, guitar and lead vocals; Josh Robichaud, bass and very nice harmony vocals; and drummer Tommy Street banging it upside your head.
* * *
On behalf of all the musicians from our city, I want to wish a speedy recovery for Soul Doubt lead vocalist Moe Guiho who recently underwent a very serious operation.
* * *
Elsewhere, I'm looking forward to the Music for Haiti concert featuring Kim Mitchell and Sean Hogan at the Archie Dillon Sportsplex on May 8.
* * *
As you know, I always complain we don't get enough concerts in Timmins.
It's no secret many smaller communities across Ontario have major festivals on a yearly basis and the support is huge.

Left it too late for high tea at the grand old Victoria Falls Hotel, unfortunately – couldn't tear myself away from the swimming pool at Vic Falls Restcamp, so deliciously un-chlorinated it might well have been pumped straight from the Zambesi. All too soon it was time to get myself down to the station for the early evening train, eastbound to Bulawayo – an eerie, sweaty all-night experience (pitch darkness on board, no water, plenty of moonlight) before staggering out into the dawn.
As with the train ride, my 'illegal' excursion from Bulawayo down to Rhodes Matopo National Park became a window into what is wrong here: infrastructure rotting or rusting for decades; makeshift police road-blocks set up a few kilometres apart to gauge motorists; national parks set up as money farms for vested interests (tour operators, for example).
Circumventing the bizarre park entry restrictions on taxis, my driver and I managed to pick out way through to Cecil Rhodes' grave and the majestic granite boulder scenery amidst which he chose to be interred, not to mention some of the millennia-old rock art of the almost-vanished San people.
Along the way, we encountered dozens of cheerful families enjoying a country-side picnic day out on private land adjoining the national park – and picked up a trick or two from some of them. Thanks, guys!

During the Opposition Day Debate ahead of next week's Autumn Statement Helen took the opportunity to call on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, to stop the proposed Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) cuts. From April 2017 new ESA claimants placed in the Work Related Activity Group will only receive the basic allowance – same as Jobseekers Allowance claimants – a cut of £30 a week.
Helen Goodman MP, former DWP Minister, said:
"4470 people in Bishop Auckland constituency are dependent on ESA and that's why I am calling on the Government to stop the proposed cuts.
Cutting the incomes of sick and disabled people is unkind, indeed cruel, and will make it more difficult for disabled people to find work. 7 foodbanks have sprung up in my constituency since 2010. We don't want even more people to need them.
And it doesn't make economic sense either. That's another £1million that won't be spent on the local high street and doesn't help the local economy. The Government must rethink this cruel proposal"

San Fran's North Beach - Broadway
Broadway in the North Beach district, in year 2000 of the Christians, was definite evidence that the tendency of San Fran to dip into addiction had not been pushed out by internet or hemp developments. Standing on the street, trying to find the storefront of a youth hostel we were told was nearby, I noted a man lying on the sidewalk across the way. To the left of him was a porn theatre, to the right was some closed shop, presumably a liquor store. He was eagle-spread on his back in front of an alley opening, resting his head on the sidewalk curb. He was indeed alive. Well, in some sense he was alive. I could see him squirming a bit, loosening the rope on his trousers so he could piss. While still lying down.
The stream moved its way to the gutter, along and through the dirty cracks of the pavement. Passersby simply stepped over the urine flow, as if they had some sort of auto-sensor for such things. I watched in awe, alone, at how this man was comfortable enough to LAY in the middle of a sidewalk, in front of a public alleyway, as if this was normal and acceptable behavior. And on top of that: he was so relaxed with it all, that whipping out his dick to relieve himself in front of anyone interested to watch was of no concern to him.
I realize that there is a segment of every population, in every major city, which falls under the definition of "homeless", and I would guess that this man would fit the requirements. But in every other city I have visited, before and since San Fran, I have never seen one produce any sort of excrement or urine like that without any fanfare, police intervention, or at least some mild scolding from a local business owner. Nothing. He finished pissing all over that little piece of civilization, and rolled over, just slightly, to fish something out from beneath him.
And it was then that I was truly taken aback.
He sat up slowly, stretched out his left arm, and plunged a syringe into it… like, no big deal.
I have a thing with needles. And by "thing" I mean: desperate fear.
4 comments:
Just another day to them I suppose. He got "skills". I've always had a strange attraction to Polk Street for some reason or another when i'm in San Fran. Humm, weird.
brother nick.
- Truecraig said...
I don't remember Polk Street. This memory is pretty vivid for me, but my travel mate does not appear to remember it.
That means one of two things: 1) he was not present (and I don't remember discussing any of this with him as it was occuring, which would be a strange thing to NOT discuss) or 2) my brain completely fabricated this event, which while doubtful, is possible.
Oh, or 3) I was the bum pissing himself before shooting up.
One of those three.
- Impulsivecompulsive said...
That's just wrong. Like Pepsi and vodka wrong.
Sad thing is, I don't think the shooting up is that abnormal, it's the not standing up while taking a piss that bothers me.
Come to think of it, the public urination should bother me too, shouldn't it? Hmmm, maybe it's time I move to a new neighbourhood.
- Debbie said...
I was once walking along Bloor St. in Toronto soon after the provincial government thought it was a GREAT cost saving measure to close homes for the mentally infirm without offering up a solution for those who couldn't hold down jobs and needed care from the mentally firm.
They of course became homeless and Toronto saw a dramatic increase in the homeless population. Lovely.
As more and more homeless crowded the street what they would do in public was amazing.
You may have seen urine, but my friend, I once saw a man battling the debilitating effects really bad diarea (I don't know how you spell that) right on the sidwalk in the midding of the day at Bay and Bloor.
Beat that.

More on Good News
Given the fact that the first century was a target rich environment for anyone wanting to blast away at false religions, we should be amazed to realize that none of those gods and deities are named and criticized in the letters of the New Testament. Criticism of wrong belief and behavior and false religion was leveled at those within the Christian community rather than at those without. The consistent proclamation from John the Baptist, to Jesus, to the apostles was God's reign. That was the Good News. They didn't start with "Zeus is false."
Could it be that all human pursuits of the divine, however misguided and fundamentally flawed, are a pursuit of God? Could this be why Paul, in his pluralistic environment, criticized flawed ideas of God instead of disparaging anyone's pursuit of God no matter how incorrectly conceived, parsed, and executed. Surely there was graciousness and generosity involved in not taking easy shots at the piety of those who aren't following Jesus.
The other side to this discussion goes beyond the way the believers we read about in scripture didn't go around tearing down other religions and shows that what they did proclaim didn't require proving other religions wrong. When the Gospel is seen as a set of propositions to be accepted, of course there must be a competition with every other set of propositions. When Christianity is reduced from a way of life to a religion of beliefs, then it has to fight with other religious ideas.
However, when the Good News is that God is near, and that He reigns, the proclamation isn't about the clash of propositions. In fact, everything doesn't hinge on those - and the Gospel can be communicated through a cup of cold water. Of course, the story of how atonement was accomplished in Jesus is part of the nearness of God's reign, but not the only part. It is not even the first part for the person whose throat is parched.

Thanks for those last two posts..your comments on relational vs. propositional truth really helps me think through the wide bandwidth of "pursuits of the divine" or I guess I should say the one who pursues us.
- Greg Newton said...
- This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
- Greg Newton said...
Well said - our pursuit of the divine is due to God's first pursuit of us. Could all religions be graciously viewed as responses to the Divine initiative? How would we change our language about those religious systems if that were our view?
- Southlake Student Community said...
Greg, Ken, love the posts... thinking about your response to Ken and the idea of graciously approaching other faith systems made me think of a couple of reasons why that is so tough for us to do: 1) It would take a lot of time. Not only are probably very naturally impatient with most things, but we would have to truly shake off the evangelical "titanic/lifeboat" fever pitch of evangelization. 2) It would take the grace to be informed through that time consuming conversation and shared life. Of course we could accept no untruth in those conversations, but such a shared life would surely be a two-way street of growth and information. That is a bitter pill for the typical western Christian.
But, the whole thing has my vote! Let's just do it and see how God works! Peace, Todd

Paper 1 considers scientific and medical knowledge across different cultures and historical periods. This course is concerned with science and medicine in the ancient, medieval and early modern periods, and covers a wide geographical space, focusing on a number of different cultures. Interest will centre on concepts and understandings of the cosmos, the natural world, and the human body, methodologies and apparatuses to study them, as well as the practices, institutions and cultural transmissions of knowledge.
The intention is to examine continuities and discontinuities in the institutions, practices and theories of science and medicine that attempt to understand, explain and transform the human and natural world. Interest will centre on methodology, transmission and testing of knowledge, healing practices, institutions and apparatus. Questions relating to epistemology, the transmission and mediality of knowledge, scientific and medical authority and community will be explored. Given the longevity of some of the 'traditions' considered, there will be some forays into later periods, including the 19th and 20th centuries, on occasion. Why, for example, does Stephen Hawking refer to Aristotle in his latest book, and why did people learn about human sexuality into the 20th century from a book titled Aristotle's Masterpiece?
Aims and learning outcomes
- to encourage students to explore the scientific, medical and mathematical ideas and practices of the ancient, medieval and early modern periods including:
- astronomy and astrology
- cosmology and physics
- mathematical sciences
- medicine and pharmaceutics
- natural sciences and natural history;
- to acquaint students with some of the fundamental themes in the interpretation of pre-modern science and medicine, including a consideration of:
- sites and institutions of learning
- literacy, material culture and communicating knowledge
- interactions between customers, patients and producers in medical and scientific marketplaces
- classifications of scientific and medical knowledge
- evidence, interpretation and historiography;
- to encourage students to engage critically with evidence, textual, visual and material;
- to encourage students to explore the continuity and changes of scientific and medical institutions, methods, and ideas across cultures and time periods.
Genres of Early Science
Liba Taub (8 lectures, Michaelmas & Lent Terms)
These lectures examine styles of scientific and medical writing in antiquity, looking at formats which include the treatise, poetry, letter, commentary, encyclopaedia, question-and-answer and problem texts. Topics discussed in these texts include the study of 'nature' and bodies, physics (including meteorology) and mathematics. The lectures and readings engage with important themes in the fields of ancient science and medicine, and also provide useful background for understanding natural philosophy and the study of health and disease in later periods. One aim will be to explore the contexts in which the ancient texts were written and read.
Early Modern Medicine
Lauren Kassell, Emma Spary, Dániel Margócsy (12 lectures, Michaelmas & Lent Terms)
These lectures provide an overview of medicine in early modern Europe (1500–1750). We will examine ways in which Greek and Arab medicine, anatomy and natural philosophy were foundational to medical theory and practices, and how these ancient and medieval views came under attack. Central themes of the course include change and continuity in theories of the body and disease, practices of maintaining health and healing, experiences of patients, and in the broad spectrum of practitioners available. We will study how different practitioners were trained and how they interacted both with each other and their patients. During this period important discoveries were made in anatomical theatres, in alchemical laboratories, in the New World and under microscopes, and we consider their influence on medical theory and practice. In addition to drawing upon learned and vernacular medical, religious and literary texts, we will consider what contemporary visual and material culture can teach us about the history of early modern medicine.
Medieval Medicine
Sachiko Kusukawa, Lauren Kassell, Mary Brazelton (8 lectures, Michaelmas Term)
These lectures provide an overview of medieval medicine from a global perspective. In the Mediterranean world Graeco-Roman medicine constituted a shared heritage of learning based on the writings attributed to Hippocrates and Galen. While surviving in fragmentary form in the west this heritage was received in its fullest form and assimilated by the societies of the Islamicate world, whose traditions receive special attention. Islamic medicine was translated and received in the Latin west in successive waves from the 11th to the 13th centuries. New ways of teaching medicine were developed in the universities, but the basis of medical practice in east and west, and the functioning of the medical marketplace, were remarkably consistent. In contrast, Chinese medicine in the Ming period produced a remarkable range of doctrinal, therapeutic, and regional variation within the classical medical tradition. Topics include scholastic medicine and surgery, diagnosis and prognosis, leprosy, the printing and circulation of medical texts, cross-cultural encounters, and the experience of being ill in the Middle Ages.
Instruments, Books and Collections
Liba Taub, Dániel Margócsy (4 lectures, Lent Term)
As authors in their own right, it is hardly surprising that historians spend much of their research time in the study of texts. This course of lectures makes the case for the study of the material objects of early scientific and medical culture: the tools used by natural philosophers, astronomers, physicians and others, in their investigation of nature, health and disease. What is a scientific (or medical) instrument? What kind of histories do instruments have, and how can we study them? How was a book produced in the first two hundred years of printing? Does it make a difference to understanding how texts are read to take account of the materiality of books? Did the invention of printing transform the study of nature and the body? What is the relationship between the history of instruments and the history of the book?

Topshop Dark Knight - £5
There comes a time in (almost) every girls life where they feel like they own every nail polish colour ever created. Okay, okay, it might just be me, but I've been feeling so uninspired. Which normally just means I need to go round my local Boots and grab a few new colours, but for weeks and weeks now I haven't seen anything in the shops that's really grabbed my eye. In times like this, it's time to sort through and and chuck anything that gone funny or you never use. While doing this I found my beloved Dark Knight. Probably the most beautiful glitter polish I've ever laid my eyes on. I've already reviewed it here so I won't go on about it too much but I just thought I'd re-share it with you all. If you ever get the opportunity to get this or something similar grab it, it's so stunning on. I get so so many compliments when I wear this and I've been wearing it to death recently.
Wear Barry M's Blue Grape underneath to create a more opaque look and apply a glossy top coat for a gel looking finish.

New Pants!
Simplicity 5732 for my pattern for him and sewed these up. I measured a bit off the first time, and these too are a little large, but much better than typically and a belt makes them definitely wearable. I just picked his size based on hip/waist and lengthened them. I will definitely be sewing this pattern again. It had a lot of nice features seen in menswear, such as the back seam sewn last extending into the waistband for easy alterations, real fly, side seam pockets, pleats, belt carriers, etc. It did have the hidden button plus hook/eye closure in the front, but I modified that to have a hook/eye plus a snap as I thought the button would be a little difficult for him still. And he will have a nicer shirt than that t-shirt when he wears these. :)

I have been struggling with the same problem with my son. He is now 11 and has outgrown the jeans/panst with elastic button adjustments inside the waistband. He is tall, healthy and skinny, with no hips for store bought pants to hang on. I have started making sweatpants for him but feel I should graduate to dressier pants like these.ReplyDelete

Identifying and Analyzing Knowledge Management Aspects of Practices in Open Source Software Development
In this thesis we explore how knowledge management is performed in open source projects. Open source projects are often perceived as informal, even unmanaged. Still, they appear to manage knowledge acquisition and sharing sufficiently well to successfully develop software in such a distributed environment as the Internet. This thesis aims to explore that apparent contradiction, and thus complement the currently limited research in this field.

I rarely do posts on me, but today seemed a good day to be narcissistic and to show what a cool wheat-surfer I am. That's right, I'm being towed behind a quad while standing on a suped-up skateboard.
It was a lot of fun. This was my first time ever trying something like this, and I took to it like a fish out of water. I spent far more time on my hands and knees than I did on the board. I guess I'm not that cool (no suprise), but I had my half a minute of glory here, so back off.

Blog Names
This is my first blog and I will devote it to blog names. I have read a variety of blogs and what has amazed me is the originality of the names of the blogs(mine isnt though). Why is it that ordinarily an uncreative world manages to cook up some really imaginative names for blogs. Is it because each blog is in essence a reflection of the person within which I consider to be unique. Maybe my argument has more weightage if used with the content of the blog than the name because I dont know to just what lengths any person will go to find that name initially. Will the person really sit and ruminate and try to think of a blog name which suits his persona best. I didnt so I have no idea. Let me know about your thoughts.

Hundreds arrested, beaten and tear gassed as police repress protest at Toronto G20
north america / mexico | the left | news report Tuesday June 29, 2010 18:30 by Andrew - WSM - peronal capacity andrewnflood at gmail dot com
At least 600 arrests took place at the G20 summit in Toronto as police used considerable force to break up protests. Media reports& video (below) indicate that many of the beaten were journalists covering the protest. The G20 was meeting to co-ordinate further attacks on the global working class. This is what the coded statements from the G20 about 'austerity budgets' and 'cutting deficits' will mean in practice. This despite the "risk that synchronised fiscal adjustment across several major economies could adversely impact the recovery" acknowledged in the final G20 communique. [Italiano]
In a statement headed 'This is what a police state looks like!' issued on Sunday Ontario Anarkismo group, Common Cause reported that on Sunday morning "protesters sitting in the streets this morning at a jail solidarity rally were subjected to violent baton attacks, snatch squads and rubber bullets by the Police." (full text at end) In response to the planned attacks on workers Common Cause wrote in advance of the summit that "Such a widespread attack on the entire working class can only be successfully responded to by all working class people standing together and using our collective power as workers to withdraw our labour in a general strike."
Downtown Toronto had been turned into a fortress with the world leaders behind big steel and concrete walls with military helicopters flying them into the sealed off zone. Police had been given special powers to stop and search anyone coming within 5m of the zone. Police blocked a demonstrations Saturday afternoon from coming within a few blocs of this exclusion zone, it appears that it was at this point that a number of demonstrators using Black Bloc tactics broke away to target a number of multinational chain stores including according to the Guardian "'Urban Outfitters, a branch of Scotia Bank and an Adidas store." Police attacked with batons, tear gas, pepper spray and plastic bullets, some of the tear gas was fired as 'muzzle blasts.'
A number of video's have been posted to youtube showing police violence during the summer protests, including charging a crowd of protesters who were singing the Canadian national anthem and targeting people who were journalists, snatching cameras and microphones.
It has been clear as have been released that conditions in the detention center were delibretly degrading and that many of the detained were mistreated in a wide variety of ways.
WORDS: Andrew Flood IMAGE: Based on photo by nouspique
This is what a police state looks like!
We live in a political and economic system based on constant violence; exploitation of workers, destruction of the environment, war, racist police killings, hunger and homelessness in an environment of plenty, denial of land and self-government to indigenous peoples, plundering of the resources of the Third World and the arming of repressive regimes. This weekend, this quiet violence continued within the G8 and G20 summits. G20 leaders agreed to halve national deficits by 2013; The expected cuts to educational, social services and healthcare programmes will no doubt continue to be carried out on the backs of workers and poor people.
On the streets of Toronto, the police reminded us of the state's willingness to use blatant violence. Protesters sitting in the streets this morning at a jail solidarity rally were subjected to violent baton attacks, snatch squads and rubber bullets by the Police. Others were boxed in by riot cops and arrested, while being told they had to leave. Sleeping people have been pulled from their homes at gunpoint in the middle of the night.
As of today, well over 600 people have been arrested. Many have been beaten. People who have been arrested have been strip-searched and held in cages, facing long delays in obtaining legal support, including one deaf man who was denied an ASL interpreter. People arrested have included both corporate and independent journalists as well as approximately 200 people, many local residents, who were surrounded by police and held in the pouring rain over four hours. This is how the state responds to anyone who shows dissent.
Common Cause stands in solidarity with everyone who was arrested or assaulted by the police. As anarchist communists, we oppose all state violence. While the violence on the street may dissipate after this weekend, the police will not be going away; they will be remaining in Toronto, or returning to Hamilton, Montreal, Vancouver, or Calgary.
We will continue to resist austerity measures and other policies that exploit and oppress us in our daily lives. Although the street violence today was directed at us in Toronto, the violence of the state continues around the world. The violence of the capitalist state will not stop with the end of the G20 summit; neither will our resistance. We are with those arrested in Toronto, with those who protested, and with those around the world who will continue to fight for our collective liberation.

Lesson (Week) #2,
EGR-110-40, Burgener, Monday August 28, 2000
Note: The bookstore has the optional Instant Reference book (by George Omura, ISBN: 0-7821-2497-6) in stock, for $20. I suggest you buy one, UNLESS you already have a a book for AutoCAD 2000, AND are already somewhat familiar with AutoCAD.
Turn in:
The pages D-1 and D-2 handed out last week, at the start of class today.
Topics covered in class:
I walked through problems #5 and #11 on the page 27 homework on the board. Remember, all of page 27 is due next class (two weeks from today). We'll skip Monday September 4th, for Labor Day weekend.
AutoCAD Commands and Concepts:
NOTE: "irp" below means the page from your optional Instant Reference book.
Review of last week's AutoCAD commands:
Precidence of lines: Let's table this topic for a while. I need to check the ANSI specs for clearification. Page 100 section 5-4, 2nd paragraph says "... if either a centerline or a solid line is coincident, both would take precidence over a hidden line." However, other textbooks (Giesecke's Engineering Graphics, 2nd ed, page 148) say "A hidden line always takes precidence over a centerline."
"KEY"- The word "Key" means a letter or character on your
"Button"- The word "Button" implies a virtual button on your screen, that you can click with your mouse.
Remember to check that "Command:" is on the Command area (bottom) of your screen, before beginning any drawing or editing operation. If you don't see the word "Command:", then hit the ESC key once or twice. Strange things happen if you try to begin a new operation, while an older operation is still being worked.
If blue squares appear on your lines, hit the Esc key twice to get rid of them. These "Grips" are useful in more advanced AutoCAD lessons, but are an annoyance this early.
Status bar buttons: The far right button at the bottom of your screen should always show "MODEL".
The other 7 buttons on the status bar should be OFF for now, except that you can toggle the ORTHO button off and on all you like, to make straight vertical and horizontal lines.
LINE, L irp166 After the first point in using the LINE command, you can type in coordinates (Absolute, Relative, or Polar) OR you can simply select the locations (points) on your screen with your mouse. When you're finished drawing your single or zig-zag line, hit the Enter key to complete the command and return to the "Command:" prompt at the bottom of your screen.
Note: If you make a mistake while drawing a zig-zag line, click the UNDO button on the Standard Toolbar, or hit the U key and the Enter key to back up one step (vertex) of the line you're making.
Real Time PAN irp210
Real Time ZOOM irp 371 top
ZOOM All irp371 This shows all there is to see of your drawing, even the space taken up by the grid dots, even if the GRID is turned off (as I'd prefer it for now), on your status bar.
ORTHO irp205 Like the old T-square from manual drafting, ORTHO limits your lines to be either vertical or horizontal. You can toggle ORTHO on and off while drawing zig-zag lines. Suggest use the ORTHO button on the status bar to toggle it on and off.
Direct Distance irp231
Very handy when ORTHO is on, for drawing lines of a known length. ERASE, E irp 114 Select what you want to erase by clicking each line with your mouse. When you're finished selecting things, hit the Enter key to tell AutoCAD you're ready to erase them all. Until you hit Enter, AutoCAD keeps waiting for you to select more items.
Object Snaps irp99 Please keep the OSNAP button toggled OFF on your status bar. Use an individual Object Snap each time you want to "home in" on a specific location, like the MIDpoint of a line, the CENter of a circle, or the ENDpoint of a line.
New AutoCAD Commands and Concepts:
Absolute Coordinates p24, irp231 Each time you're asked to specify a point (like when making lines), you can type in the X and Y values.
Relative Coordinates p24, irp 232 With relative coordinates, you type in the CHANGE of X and Y location, with respect to the last point (location) you used. Begin typing with "@" (Shift-2), then the X change, then a comma, then the Y change in location.
(relative) Polar Coordinates p26, irp232 These are similar to the Relative Coordinates above, but they use a distance and the angle counterclockwise from straight right, instead of the change in X and Y locations. Begin these with the @ sign, then the distance, then type the < sign, then the angle counterclockwise from straight to the right (3:00 on your screen). Be aware you can type in a negative distance or angle. This is handy for lines straight down, for example. You can type @6<-90 instead of @6<270.
CIRCLE, C irp43 After clicking the CIRCLE icon, or typing C, you need to decide which way you want to make the circle. You can define a circle by 3 points, center and diameter, center and radius, etc etc. Hit the key for the first letter of the option you want to use.
After learning the CIRCLE command, you'll soon want to learn the QUAdrant and TANgent Osnaps. QUAdrant "homes in" on the 4 "corners" of a circle (3:00, 6:00, 9:00 and 12:00). TANgent connects a line to the edge of the circle, like fan belts that go around a pair of pulleys. You must hit the final Enter to see the lines form.
ARC, A irp9 Like the CIRCLE command above, the ARC command involves options that allow you to decide how to define the arc.
REGEN, RE irp250 Once we begin making circles and arcs with AutoCAD, you'll notice the curved lines sometimes look like a series of short lines. A circle sometimes appears to be an octagon, when you ZOOM in very close. The REGEN command forces the computer to regenerate the display to show the roundness of the arc or circle. If AutoCAD showed the complete roundness
all the time
, instead of aproximating the curves with short lines, the display of your drawing would take more time. We'll later learn how to avoid typing RE as often.
Practice AutoCAD exercises for this week:
Page 38 problem B, using Relative Coordinates
Page 40, FIG. 2-6-H, using relative Polar Coordinates
. . Note: Change the length of JA from .531 to 1.53. This is still a few thousandths off from perfect, though.
Page 129 FIG. 5-6-B number 4 "Top" view, using the CIRCLE command.
. . Note: The QUAdrant Osnap might be helpful, depending how you draw it. Plan to draw some extra (construction) lines, that you'll later erase.
Page 165 FIG. 6-6-B (B) and (C) to practice the ARC command
Page 157 FIG. 6-1-A number 2.
. . Note: Use the TANgent Osnap for all the "fan belt" lines.
Page 175 FIG. 7-1-7
. . Note: The figure in the book is grossly out of scale. Also, assume the overall length (left to right) is 5.
Page 136 FIG. 5-9-A for more CIRCLE practice.
. . Note: None of these above practice assignments will be turned in. Depending on the time, we'll rush through some and maybe skip a few.
Due next week:
Page 27 "complete the views" puzzles. Remember to show all necessary visible, hidden, and centerlines. Be aware some have more than one correct answer. You can expect to see a few of these puzzles (or new ones) on upcoming quizzes, the midterm, and the final exam.
Heads up for next week:
(later) We'll probably learn about Layers, colors, and linetypes.

Day 322 - Lil Sweety
I had an impromptu little babysitting session yesterday with my niece. I told O he had to be a big helper and help momma watch Ms. A. She was so adorable and sweet. When O wasn't scaring the crap out of her with his loud and rowdy self, he actually got a little jealous of her I think. ;)I snapped a few shots of her enjoying some cheerios.

Second time eating here, both times the food was ok at best. Then today, they lied to me about my egg roll having tofu in it instead of meat. I'm not a moron, I know the difference between the two. Awful service for vegetarians.
We got takeout. A quart of wonton soup had a total of four wonton with almost no filling. The soup had flavor, but FOUR wontons...come on. The fried rice was just rice colored brown with nothing added. No veggies, egg, meat...nothing, not even any flavor....More

Ethan has been having a fun time with Grammie and we are all hoping that the rain will start to let up some as we are all anxious to be playing outside.
The weekend before I started my new job, while Jeff was driving my mom to Portland, Ethan and I took a second adventure riding the bus/MAX/Tram to make sure I new the route to get to work. Ethan loved the adventure and we took a picture while riding down the tram. Saturday/Sunday market is now back open as well so we stopped for an elephant ear on our way home, one of Ethan's favs.
For St. Patrick's day Ethan came home with his Leprechaun costume mask that he had made in school (see previous posting). He then decided that he needed to make some additional masks/costumes and has since been obsessed with the tape, scissors, cheap paper plates, lunch sacks, notebook paper, and pipe cleaners. We have had many, many creations the last 3 weeks.
Here are some of his artistic creations...he has some great skills and really puts a lot of thought into his creations,

A .38 Caliber Pistol. (CBS)
CHICAGO (CBS) — The state's largest teachers' union is pledging to fight any attempt to allow teachers to carry guns in the classroom.
Illinois Education Association spokesman Charles McBarron said Tuesday that no "sane" person wants teachers packing heat in class.
"The idea that somehow a school can become more safe by bringing more weapons into it is a ludicrous notion," he said. "It's hard to believe anyone would say that and mean it."

It is a pure fact that the writer here did not drink - until the very beginning of the year 2006. Why? Beats me. Or let me think... I really can't stand wine; it all starts with the smell. As well as it seems I just don't mind the difference between vine and wine. Wine and me - just no go. Something to do with the fermentation, I guess. But I do like vine as a plant, by the way. Pretty same story is with beer. I am sorry, just no go. Despite the fact I have always been a fan of Ireland and I have also had a chance to see Guinness brewery in all its mighty.
Joe's recipe for Irish Coffee is as follows. Take a steamed
glass, pour in a 4/4 gill (standard measure), or 4 table spoons of Irish
Whiskey. Add 2 tea spoons of brown sugar and boiling coffee to within 3/4 inch
of the top of the glass. Stir briskly until sugar is completely dissolved. Add
cream, lightly whipped and pour over the back of a tea spoon so as the cream
will not sink. To enjoy the full flavour of your Irish Coffee, do not stir when
cream is added.

Organizing information in a hierarchy of categories can help customers find things. Building an effective hierarchy is not easy.
Hierarchies are a common way of breaking long lists into smaller chunks. But customers think in different ways and may not put the same smaller chunks together in the same categories. What makes good organization depends on your audience, the language that audience uses to describe the subjects you will categorize, and the amount of information you present at a given time.

Christopher Beha is a 20-something Princeton grad living in his parents' Manhattan apartment and undergoing something of a quarter-life crisis. Sounds thrilling, I know. He finds himself drawn to the five-foot shelf of Harvard Classics books inherited from his grandma, a woman who educated herself with them through the Great Depression, and decides to read through all 51 volumes in a year. Voila: a memoir.
Overall, I appreciated Beha's openness to the questions posed by the Great Books: What is the life worth living? What are knowledge's limits? What is a good death? What is the purpose of education? Heck, I appreciated his openness to the "Great Books" themselves and the value of past wisdom. The book's most moving parts occur when Beha's year doesn't pan out exactly according to reading schedule, and his lessons in the meaning of suffering include sharing an apartment with his dying, beloved aunt. Having faced his own trials of serious illnesses, including cancer as a college student, Beha takes history's great thinkers at face value when they confront their own mortality and sense of purpose. Some of the most poignant sections were when Beha, a fallen-away Catholic, dwells on the importance of tradition, belonging, and faith's role in shaping culture. And his chapter spent pondering the value of cultivating culture (especially through reading the old, good books), but also of engaging modern culture (by actively consuming popular media) — and whether the two ideas are exclusive — has given me a lot to think about.
I wanted to read Beha's book because I've been trying for awhile to formulate my thoughts on the value of a Great Books education. (Also, why season three of Veronica Mars is dramatically sub-par to the previous two, and whether Felix is so far "behind" his sister in terms of talking/being a member of civil society because we ignore him too much. Keeping it real.) I mean, Luke and I met in and subsequently sat through 7 out of 8 seminars together in our university's Great Books Honors program, so there's that. (We bonded sophomore year when my look of surprised horror at accidentally playing footsie with our curmudgeon of a Franciscan friar caught Luke's amused, knowing expression across the table. Pause to shudder through relived awkward moments).
Our last semester of Honors was something of a letdown, taught by a nice, well-intentioned, Distributist (he once spent an entire class waxing on the glories of owning one's own cow) adjunct professor who left me feeling that the Catholic faith he championed was not fundamentally different than the modern ideologies we discussed and decried. I mean, he certainly thought it was, but there was something about his impassioned presentation of 20th-century Catholic thinkers — and for the life of me, I'm still trying to nail down what — that failed to convince me that a life of faith (specifically, a life lived within the Church) is bigger, more expansive, and more freeing, than ideology. I believe it is (because otherwise, what's the point, right?) , even as I try to reason myself there. But with no thanks to Prof. Great Books, who had his books, had his thinkers, and therefore had his system which allowed him and his to lead their nice, structured lives, cow and all, with little thought to the other planetary systems orbiting around them. (Terrible analogy, I know).
Beha doesn't go into detail about his reasons for falling away from his childhood faith, but from the sound of it, he grew up in a faithful Catholic family, surrounded by practicing members of the Church with bookshelves laden with Catholic classics and theology. That he's read them shows in his beautiful fiction. What I'm trying to get at is that Beha's story in The Whole Five Feet reminded me that life, and people, is more nuanced than that last Honors semester would have led me to believe. That, while there's profound truth to Newman's famous quote, "to be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant," there's also a danger of triumphalism and the easy dismissiveness of those who "just haven't read enough of the right things yet." And, Catholic or not, I think that leads to an impoverished culture.
To be honest, the Great Books still mystify me, mainly in part because they went over my head in college, and it wasn't until after I graduated and started working that I started connecting the strands and realizing their relevance. (Sidenote: this book really helped me with that synthesis). The Whole Five Feet reminded me of the value of going back to the voices of the past and participating in their conversation — even continuing it in the culture we create today. And it made me newly appreciate revisiting that canon with a reading partner whose perspective is different than mine.
Anyways. Go see Housewifespice for more book recommendations!
