Doug Winnie walks through the main two files that are used in each of the coding examples in the course. He also shows how variables are used to store values of multiple types and how JavaScript supports dynamic-typing of variables based on values that are assigned to them. Doug also introduces the typeof statement that evaluates and returns the value type of a variable.

I was there, godammit. I saw it all. There are things in this world that will blister a man's mind. They said that shit like this doesn't happen in the Beehive State. "They leave that to the freaks in Frisco," they said. The editors know that I've been squeamish since that incident with the trannies on Hollywood Boulevard, but instead of just leveling with me I get the same tired old reassurance that this time it's just gonna be a standard assignment. It's my fault. I should know better.
Either way I never go on the job without the Blackhawk and a flask of Old Crow. They're both for self-defense, you see.
Provo bills itself as a friendly frontier twin, wholesome and family oriented. Recreational activities for the outdoorsman. If nearby Salt Lake City is a bit too cosmopolitan for your tastes, this might be your town. The editors had sent me to cover the annual Provo Street Fair, an event that had only been rumored to exist until an underground flyer made it into the hands of a reporter in Vegas. It was a cheap photocopied affair with what looked like a man in some sort of leather getup wearing a dog mask. The Vegas reporter rightfully had the scoop, but he refused to take the job. Needless to say, they gave it to me.
No one ever sends me to cover the local Little League game.

Computerized Inventory System
The Problem and it's Settings
Nowadays, the computer prove to us its effectiveness in searching and communicating
the people around the world. And it is also a guide in dealing business. A business is typically
formed to earn a profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself.
The operators and owners of a business have as one of their main objectives, the receipt or
generation of financials return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk.
Inventory systems often face customer demands for many different products. The demand
characteristics may vary from product to product and therefore an inventory manager will
generally apply a customized policy for every product. However, in most cases, all customer
demand for a single product is handled in a uniform way. Although the order sizes may vary
greatly and some orders can be handled in a different way than others, each unit demanded is
considered equally important. The system also allows the inventory to be well in-checked
without much labor. Just by having the name of their product entered in the database. It can be
checked or updated if they have it. The system is good for its easy to use, effective and efficient.
Also it can really make a difference when it comes to keeping inventory. The Proposed
Computerized Inventory System will give a big relief to the employees and employers as well,
when approved and used.

In addition to the complexity of the process, the employee responsible on this task also
needs to check the stocks once in a while so as to monitor which items are already getting below
the allowable minimum quantity. Because of the draining work, there were circumstances when
the inventory record in the computer does not tally with the actual amount of the available items.
Another thing to consider in manual inventory is prone to errors since it is inevitable that the
Employee assigned to do the inventory, security is also being risked. If not properly monitored,
theft and loss of items can actually take place. It is also time consuming to take note of several
details each time an item is brought in and out of the stock.
For instance, Inventory System is a part of business in which it is an effective way for
monitoring and tracking different materials that are transferred in and out of a company's
warehouse of establishments usually for accounting purposes. It is also important for a company
to monitor all the transactions in order to keep an account of all their stocks.
Just in time production and inventory system was specifically designed to minimize the amount
of inventory that needs managed and also cuts out storage space costs. The premise of Just-in-
time (JIT) inventory, also called lean production, is that supplies are arriving just as they are
needed. Therefore, as one product is leaving the shelf that product's replacement is arriving and
being stocked. "Just-in-time inventory strategies were embraced by the Japanese when they
rebuilt their industry after World War II. In the U.S., just-in-time was slower to catch on, but it
now is frequently used (Just-in-time, 2003)." JIT processes focus on delivering and producing
exactly the amount of inventory required at the exact time consumers require it.

An inventory system is a system used to keep track of a business's products and supplies. These
programs are invaluable tools for most businesses because they are able to complete tasks
quickly that would take much longer if done manually. The main types included with any
inventory system are: tracking of remaining inventory, tracking when new orders should be
made, tracking which items are most popular and something to help businesses decide what
items are...

We had Gavin's baby blessing today. We were so glad Adam's parents could make it up for the day, and for the great friends we have made who were able to help with the blessing. I am so grateful for such a wonderful husband and for the priesthood in our home.

Hey Jessica! It's Lara from the ward. I saw your post on Stephanie's blog & thought I'd pop over! I just have to tell you how special this blessing was and how wonderful your sweet testimony was. The entire time you were bearing your testimony I kept thinking how beautiful you are and what a sweet girl you are. Hugs.

9. Tuvalu
Ready for mountainous island life? If the answer is yes, you will want to look into Tuvalu. It's a very remote and neutral island nation deep within the Pacific Ocean. The fact that Tuvalu is extremely remote is also what helps it from becoming politically aligned. They have a small population and very few resources, which is another reason that there's no reason for other countries to go after it. The country mostly produces and consumes their own goods and foods, without much need to import. So if you're ready to try your green thumb at farming and enjoy the island vibes while you do it, Tuvalu is a solid option.

Personal Life vs. Professional Life
I've been sort of following the case of the bloggers who worked for the John Edwards campaign who were either fired or asked to resign for nasty things they wrote on their blogs about religion in general and Catholicism specifically. Keep in mind that these opinions were written on their personal blogs before they were hired by the campaign.
I firmly think that the activities you participate in that benefit your personal life should have nothing at all to do with your professional life. Personal issues should not be a part of politics and the focus should be on who can get the job done, not who wrote a nasty blog, who smoked a joint when they were twelve, who smokes cigarettes now, or who gets a blow job even though he's married. By their very nature, personal lives are just that - personal. It's a sad state of affairs when people are forced to resign or get fired for having opinions. If people get offended because those bloggers made fun of religion, or an NBA star is homophobic, or a television actor said "faggot", or a comedian said "nigger", those people need to build a bridge and get on over it. In America the right to speak freely is protected by the constitution, unless that speech can cause bodily harm. Nowhere in the constitution are feelings protected. But opinions are, therefore professional life should be all that is taken into account for employment purposes - personal life should remain personal.
As offended as I personally was when I read about the unfortunate incidents above, I still firmly believe that those jackasses had a right to say what they did and to hold the opinions that they do. I think the NBA star, the television actor, and the comedian are ignorant bigots and do you know how I'm going to show them how little I think of them? By doing the same thing I do because of the low opinion I hold of Oprah Winfrey - I won't read news stories about them, I won't go to their movies, games, etc., and I won't support them in any way with my money. They were offensive to me and I would rather spend my money on things that benefit society and I don't feel those people are benefiting society in any way except that they have allowed us to open a dialogue regarding the nature of idiots.
I am certain that people have found the things I post on this blog to occasionally be offensive. The best way to handle that is to stop reading this blog. Don't try to get me fired or ostracized by society. Don't not hire me because you disagree with my opinions. These are my opinions and I have a right to express them in any way I see fit. My opinions exist because they do - I'm not an expert on anything, I just really like to talk.

Case for Support
Developing a fundraising case for support is critical to your fundraising success. For many heritage groups and organisations it can be difficult to focus on the wider impact of your work and to articulate your key messages clearly and concisely. This part of the Resourcing Scotland's Heritage online resource provides inspiration and guidance on how to develop your heritage fundraising case for support. To learn more please attend the next 'Make it Happen' training course in your area.
The Causey Development Trust in Edinburgh has received funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund Small Catalyst Grants scheme which they have invested in developing their case for support. Learn more by hearing about their journey from two of their volunteers.
The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society in Glasgow is an organisation which has a wealth of fundraising experience. Their Director and Chair are able to clearly articulate their mission, vision and values in this video clip, and they provide an insight into where they have achieved fundraising success.
What is a case for support?
A case for support is the basis for all of your fundraising activities. It clearly and concisely explains the work of your group or organisation and why you merit support from individuals, funders and sponsors. It is not one document or piece of print. It is the work which informs all of your fundraising related materials. Your case for support includes your mission statement, your history/story, your goals and what you require funding for; you need to remember to ask potential donors to get involved. For further information download this overview on developing a case for support.
Resourcing Scotland's Heritage suggests a fundraising case for support should have 11 components. Download this checklist and set up a folder for each component (digital or paper), then gather all of the information together for each section. You can then use this information to create your main case for support document which will become the basis for all of your fundraising materials, applications and documents such as copy for your website, promotional leaflets, sponsorship proposals and applications to trusts & foundations.
Two main components of your case for support are your mission statement and your goals. Your mission statement answers the question; 'why do you exist?' Here is an activity sheet which will take you through defining and developing your mission statement.
Your goals should articulate what your organisation wishes to accomplish and should directly link to your mission statement. It is a good idea to have only three main goals which clearly define your role. Here is an activity sheet on developing goals.

Day 21: Oops, I did it again!
Yesterday I spent all day cooking a lovely three-course meal of Indian food for some family members visiting from the East Coast and Colombia: saag paneer (spinach cheese), channa masala (spiced chickpeas), aloo gobhi (potato cauliflower), chapatis (flatbread), and rice. Everything homemade. I actually like making fancy meals like this every now and then. For my dinner I had a guacamole with avocado, cilantro, tomato and corn, and scooped it/wrapped it up in bok choy. It was pretty good, and I ate until I couldn't eat any more; in fact, I couldn't even finish it. My dad had brought some wine over, which I love, but, since I've been avoiding that kind of thing lately, I didn't have any with dinner.
Then an hour or so after everyone left I was feeling hungry a bit but didn't pay much heed since it was getting late-ish. But that wine sure looked good, so I poured myself a glass: my undoing! No sooner had I downed a glass of wine than I was straight into those leftovers which looked so appealing. Then I had some more wine while watching TV.
I wouldn't call any of this a binge per se, because it wasn't. I just ate/drank some things not on my list of preferred foods. But you know what? I'm actually OK with it. I don't want to make huge excuses for myself, but it is Christmas, and I've been doing really well. If I stumble a bit it's not the end of the world. I'm seeing and feeling progress, and, while I love all the festivities at this time of year, for dietary reasons I'm looking forward to getting past them, going into the new year with a reaffirmed commitment to this lifestyle. Now that I know that it's working for me, I can't help but continue to transition into it more fully.
(By the way, my pulse is, quite frequently, racing at about 85-95 bpm, which probably means my thyroid medication is TOO HIGH: WHOO HOO! Did I tell you that already? Anywho, I go for my blood draw later this week. Cross your fingers!)
Truly, there's a reason why everyone picks New Year's Day as the day to start all those resolutions, especially of the weight-loss variety. There's nothing, zilch, nada going on for about 6 weeks (Valentine's Day, if one celebrates that), and it's almost a straight shot through until summer when it's time to get out the swimsuits.
So if I fall a little because I'm not yet a Hardcore, Professional Fruitarian, eh ... whatever! I'm human, and I'm learning to give myself a break for that. I do, however, feel more committed to doing this for the long haul than I did a couple months ago, and I think that's why my stumbles don't frighten me so much now. I also think there is great value in presenting to the world my "imperfections" while transitioning to this lifestyle. It's the most ascetic thing I've ever done in my life, and I want people to know that if you stumble a little bit, all is not lost. It's the overall direction I'm going, not how perfect I am every second of every single day. If I can do it, so can other mere mortals out there, and that's the moral of the story.
Today so far I've had just orange juice, and am thinking that it would be nice to (some time soon, not necessarily today) just drink orange juice for a few days. That's the closest I'm going to get to fasting for the moment.
I went to a yoga class today (which didn't feel so perfect after imbibing last night, but I survived). I'm definitely feeling a lot stronger in my yoga practice. My muscles are still complaining a lot due to lactic acid buildup, but it seems I'm actually getting stronger at a faster rate than usual. I'm feeling quite sturdy, and my balance is improved. Flexibility is noticeably enhanced.
I may not blog for the next week or so, as Gary is off work this week and I don't want to spend my days on the computer. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (or whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year).
Too lazy to input all my food into Nutridiary. I'll pick up on that in the new year.

Day 19: Whistling while I work
Housecleaning can be fun
I think that quantum leap in health that so many people speak of with this diet is just around the bend. In fact, is that energy I'm feeling? I hardly recognize the sensation anymore, it's been so long. But here's what I got up to today: Woke up early, but tried as hard as I could to sleep in, finally emerging at around 7 or 7:30. My man has returned, so he was entertaining the children downstairs while I attempted to get my beauty sleep, which was not forthcoming. Gave up, got up, and immediately decided to clean the entire upstairs, where we have our bedroom and a bathroom. That took until noon.
I have to interject here to explain that one of the symptoms of a thyroid problem (and mothering young children) is a perpetually dirty house. I have not had the entire house clean all at once EVER, not since we moved here in 2003. I have desperately wanted to clear out and clean out for YEARS, but even keeping my head above water with the regular daily tasks has been an almost insurmountable challenge ever since I got sick. Another symptom of a thyroid problem is depression, and sitting around devoid of energy in a messy house does not help the situation one iota. Today, I FINALLY had the energy to start changing that.
I cleaned that upstairs top to bottom, removing all the cobwebs, dust and grime, washing all the bedding (yes, I have actually done that since 2003!), putting things away, going through things, reorganizing, until it was all so spic and span that I actually smiled inside. I have decided that all I want for Christmas is a clean house, and the energy to make it so!
I cleaned and I cleaned, and when I was finished cleaning upstairs, I came downstairs and cleaned some more, but I ran out of time because I had to get to my high-intensity Bikram yoga class. Darn!
Went to yoga, did every single pose without sitting down to catch my breath once -- and I haven't done that in over a year, probably. Additionally, I was more flexible in this class than I was the last class I took, which was about three weeks ago. How does that happen???? This diet is the Super Boring Incredible Diet. It truly appears to be beginning to work wonders, and just in time for my yoga competition in two weeks!
Eating fruit in the snow
About that vacation: Four days in the snow eating fruit, very strange indeed. But I made it through. There were times that I did not eat enough, namely the one day I took my son skiing. I brought some dates and a few bananas, but I didn't want to have to pee too much, so didn't bring enough bananas. I got a headache early on that day, which built up and built up. What really was the final straw was deciding to do a longer ski run with my sister, which set in some motion sickness for some reason too. In fact, it was so excruciating that I took a couple Tylenols in the car on the way back to the condo, but when I got in the house I immediately threw them up. So I'd call it sort of cheating. :-) I had a headache all the next day too. I do think some of it was altitude, plus I think I really started to detox pretty heavy, probably somewhat from ingesting less. I've had a pretty bad taste in my mouth since then, but today, man, my energy is amazing!
Following is my food since I last blogged. I did eat one avocado each of the three evenings I was away, and I think this was a good idea. Although it brought my fat intake to higher than 10% for those days (as high as 19%), it also helped me feel much more satiated when I was surrounded by a whole lot of yummy looking cooked stuff (pizza again!) on all sides. I intend to eat lower fat for then next couple days to bring it back into balance. I think the higher-fat strategy when I knew I was in a proverbial lion's den was a good move which helped me emotionally to survive the temptation; it felt like I was getting a "treat" too.

Day 15: Into the wild
I'm getting my food all packed. Went to Berkeley Bowl yesterday and bought about half the red bananas on the shelf, plus I noticed they were selling "cut stem" yellow bananas for $.49/lb, so I bought a bunch of those too. I wonder what people think as I go through checkout with 80 bananas!
This will, I hope anyway, be one of my first successful escapades in traveling while raw. In the past, with my love of travel and restaurants, I have always, ALWAYS, without fail, failed to continue a raw food diet while traveling. This will be uncharted territory.
I haven't always been eating as much at meals lately, and have had some cravings as a result, but haven't really been fully tempted by them. I've just sometimes felt, "I wish I didn't have to do this," but never the thought, "Let's do something different!" It's not always comfortable, but I don't feel threatened at all. As to why I haven't been eating as much, it's partially boredom, and partially the fact that the need for bathrooms makes me have to plan ahead, so sometimes I stall eating longer than I should.
Marjorie posted an explanation from Dr. D to the peeing phenomenon on my comments the other day: "Basically, you are losing brine from all of those years of eating salt. AND as you lose fat, you'll also lose the water that was stored in your adipose tissue. And the diet is high water content, too. So, the answer is, you won't pee like a racehorse forever, but you will pee more than the average dehydrated SAD [standard American diet] eater." Great! I could eat cardboard all day and already do that. Hopefully it will settle down soon. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the explanation, Marjorie! :-)
Yesterday I got invited to a Friday evening dinner on January 4th, pre-yoga-competition on the 5th. At first I declined, but then had second thoughts. My studio is going to pay for a hotel room for me down there, and I really think it will be a fun opportunity to meet others who are really into this yoga thing I love. I thought about it awhile, then called back to confirm. I don't want to miss out on life opportunities because I have this super strict diet. The dinner is supposed to be a buffet. Hopefully they will have a salad I can eat. I'll eat in advance and bring an avocado and hope for the best. I may try to get contact info and call down there to get more details next week.
It's things such as this where I find this diet super annoying, but I'm not sure what to do about that except just try to work around it as best I can. I was speaking to my friend Ela yesterday and she said that truthfully it's not about what you do on one occasion, but what you do every day, that counts, and I think that's true. But unfortunately at this point I can't "just have one meal" because that would turn into another 6 months of indulgence and put me back at square one. At least that's what previous experience tells me. So for now I have to stick to the straight and narrow as best I can. Especially the night before a competition after a month on low fat raw food, I bet my body would rebel something fierce if I tried to go too crazy. Yet still, I don't know what the outcome of that night will be, but I wanted to take the risk, because the payoff seemed good enough. If anyone else out there has experience with this type of thing -- how the heck do YOU deal with it??? -- I'd be happy to hear.
Many blessings over the next few days!

Day 13: A minor success
Just wanted to blog a bit about the experience I had last night. My sister invited me down to her workplace where they were having this amazing Christmas party for kids. They had a giant bouncy slide, another bouncy thing, ornament decorating, face painting, caricature drawing, a "shootout" game, a toy grabber game, this giant bungie jumping thing, bumper cars, Santa Clause, Santa's "sleigh ride" (wagon with horses), and a whole bunch of food. It was quite a production, and I was really impressed. The owners of the company, to save money, were making all the food themselves, which I thought was quite cool actually. It's a family operation, and the whole family was back there cooking hot dogs and tri-tip steak for all the employees, which I found quite impressive, even if I'm not into that kind of food.
In addition to that they also had boxes of Domino's pizza, which I could have so easily sank my teeth into. I know, if I'm going to eat pizza, it really shouldn't be Domino's, and I wasn't about to fall off the wagon. But I can't say that it wasn't a nails-on-the-chalkboard moment. I had planned ahead and brought my banana/hemp smoothie with me, which I guzzled in the car before going into the party. Didn't seem to help one iota. Still wanted the pizza. They had salad too, but it wasn't quite up to my snobby purist standards (vinegar, etc.), so I just let the kids eat and then we went to play some more.
But you know what the BEAUTIFUL thing was??? (I'm so excited about this!) When I walked away from that table, it was out-of-mind. And when I drove home (a two-hour drive) I was hungry, but I was not overwhelmed by thoughts of how much I wanted pizza. I just wanted to go to bed, and it was NO BIG DEAL!
The best analogy I could come up with while I was driving is this: When you are overwhelmed by food cravings you feel like a vacuum cleaner that's turned on, but you're not getting anything. You just feel a vacuum that is really uncomfortable. Last night I definitely had the sense that the switch had been flipped off. While it's still no fun necessarily to be in the presence of something, it wasn't an issue once the immediacy of that situation was over, and I felt quite satisfied and at peace.
The event was a minor success, but what it suggests about inner chemical changes is potentially huge.
Someone asked recently about before and after pics. I do have some before pics, in all their unfinished glory (i.e. no makeup, close-up shots). But I've only started this journey, so unfortunately, I'm not too far from that stage, and am not yet comfortable posting them for this reason. I'm quite self-conscious about how poor my skin is these days (to me anyway). It actually is better than it was: I'm not getting boils anymore. But it's still very dry and makes me mad. Give me some time and I'll post pics once I have some progress to show. My assumption is that my skin will sort itself out at some point, but since it's one of the last eliminative organs, that may not happen totally for a little while. Plus, I've still got the adrenal business to deal with. Hang tight, and I'll post when I'm far enough away from my "before" pic that I'm not embarrassed.

Day 11: I'm an orange juice junkie!
I feel like I'm over the worst of the initial-craving clean out, like I've settled into this way of eating quite easily this time. Yet, lest someone out there is reading this who is bruising their feet on the sharp stones of this narrow ascetic path, let me remind you that it's taken me years to get to this point, years, and I never thought I could ever get here, and I can't say what happens after now, this very moment in time.
Especially when there are homemade cheese tamales in my oven! My son goes to a bilingual Spanish/English preschool, and every year they have a tamale sale as a fundraiser at Christmastime. You have to buy at least six. It's just about killing me, folks. Well, I could have donated more than what they were selling the tamales for, and maybe I should have, but I didn't realize they were arriving today, when it's only me at home with the kids. It's Satan at work, I tell you! Mmmmm! They SMELL SO GOOD! Alas, the struggles of a fruitarian housewife!
But I did make a welcome discovery last night: Banana + hemp seed + lettuce + VitaMix blender = smiling kids and a filling, satisfying meal. My older child wanted it for breakfast today, as well as dinner (after I had already put those tamales in the oven). It's a hit! I'm off for three days next week to
I keep forgetting to post my exercise. I've really only been getting back into the groove the last couple days, but I've been jogging now two times this week (about a mile each). Plus I've done my physical therapy several days this week. Day before yesterday I did a full Bikram yoga session, and yesterday I did a quick half session. Today I'm still a bit sore, so I just did the poses that I'm going to have to do in front of a million people (ugh!) on January 5. I did notice that today during my jog my pace had come up slightly from when I first started jogging six weeks or so ago.
On the fitness note: Today I registered for the Fruitarian Fitness 90-day Body Transformation Challenge, and I'm really looking forward to it. I want to prove that the weight bench in our attic is not the stupidest thing I ever bought! Seriously, if you're interested, I've posted my short- and long-term goals on that site. Join the competition yourself! I need all the positive stress I can get. :-)
I am such an orange juice junkie these days. I swear, I should have just kept up my cigarette habit! :-) Naw, those oranges are costing me about $2.50 a day, mas o menos. I buy them from the orange dealer guy who hangs out on the corner of Cutting and
Other than my morning orange juice, I have to be honest and say this diet doesn't much excite me. As a matter of fact, it's forced me to totally stop looking at food as a sorce of excitement. I do actually find it quite boring, palate-wise. But in a sense, I see that as part of the point of it: It's an interesting and beneficial experience to use food as nourishment and only as nourishment. That means you're truly eating simply. Can't say I've ever really done that for any stretch of time until now. What I've found, now that I'm past the initial stage, is that I've simply found other things to focus on. There's a lot more to life than food, and this diet heightens your awareness of everything else in life.

Day 9: Get out yer popcorn ... ehm ... bananas, 'cause it's showtime!
So what, indeed, is my goal with this health and fitness fanaticism? The biggest inspiration who spawned this mental gear turning is my new hero, Tim VanOrden, who is "attempting to make an Olympic team and break world records at the age of forty, as a raw vegan." He's the reigning stair-climbing champion in the US. He only began this crusade a few years ago. He gave up on competitive sports years ago due to multiple injuries, but then, after a year of being a raw vegan, he found he had abundant energy and was able to start training again, so he set himself the mission of seeing what was possible. Do check out his website, where there are a lot of clips: www.runningraw.com. Here's one clip I really enjoyed:
Goals Redefined
So he got me thinking, what if I decide to train for the London Marathon or something? I'm still thinking about that one, but I did come up with a couple goals I'm sure about:
- Compete in the regional 2007 Bishnu Charan Ghosh Yoga Asana Competition on January 5 in San Jose. I'll be there, so if you're anywhere nearby, come cheer for me! No, I won't win in the traditional sense of the word, not with a mere few weeks of "hard training" under my belt. But I decided that even if I fell out of every single pose it would be a triumph for me, because I would be conquering my fears and my illness. I went to the yoga studio and registered for the competition today.
- Do an aeriel cartwheel again (that's a cartwheel with no hands). The last time I suceeded at it was about 15 years ago (I'm in my mid-thirties, folks).
- Here's an even bigger goal: To be able to do a back handspring. Haven't done this since I was 21, maybe.
- And I wasn't half joking about that marathon idea!
- Juice of 3 oranges (1.5 cups), 2 mangoes
- Smoothie: 6 yellow bananas, 6 oz kale
- Large salad: Not totally sure of the amounts of the greens, but it was about 6 oz of romaine and 1/2 bunch of spinach, with 1 cup grape tomatoes, 2 stalks celery, and a dressing of blended mango.
Calonutrient ratio: 89/7/4
I see so many possibilities in front of me now. I'm feeling better already, and I'm only on Day 9, for Pete's sake! What will the future hold??
Gratitude of the day goes to Tim VanOrden and Richard Blackman, for inspiring me to trek on with a big grin.

"See ya!" to hachiyas
Hachiyas, when I met my first group of persimmons a few years ago, were my definite favorites. I must have had a string of good luck with them though, because this year is another story entirely. I went to Berkeley Bowl the other day to get a bunch of bananas (my staple of late), and saw that they had boxes of five ripe hachiyas on sale for $.49. I bought four boxes, and came home thinking I got a killer deal. Opened an entire box up the other night and they all -- every single one -- was overripe and disgusting, although they looked and felt perfect on the outside. I basically threw out all but about three persimmons out of 20. I give up on that fruit!
How I'm feeling after a week of really solid 80/10/10
Energy: The first six days I was sooooo tired in the evenings, going to bed no later than 8:30, or 8:45, with the kids. Meanwhile, my energy during the day kept getting better and better, and more and more constant. During my 811rv hiatus, I was needing naps in the afternoon, and it's not natural for me to nap (even as a very young child, I boycotted naps). But this week, I don't think I had even one nap.
The other thing that absolutely delights me is that I have WAY more energy for my kids. I took them to a park the other day and we actually raced across a baseball field, back and forth, and back and forth, and rolled in the grass; then I chased them up and down this play structure until my 4-year-old got tired and bumped his head on something (Game Over). We were all breathing really hard, and I could have played more. Back in my supposedly-hormonally-normalized-but-not-feeling-normal days it was hard enough just to get to the park, let alone chase them around, so this is a milestone for me, and I didn't feel this good last week.
Last night I actually felt like staying up past the kids' bedtime, for the first time in a week. I put them to bed, ran myself a nice hot bath, sank into it ... aaaaah! ... then, seven minutes later "Waaaaa, waaaaaa, waaaaaaaa!" coming from upstairs. I think my two-year-old had a nightmare or something. So much for that bath! So I ended up going to bed fairly early anyway (9:30), but later than I had all week.
Appetite and Cravings: Over this last week I have had a very few bouts of cravings, but they have been very short-lived, and I've made sure to eat something large as soon as they have hit. To say this lack of cravings is highly unusual for me is a major understatement. I have really, really tried to eat as much as possible, heeding Doug Graham's advice, and have diligently tried to stretch my stomach a bit, and I think it has really helped. I think I've managed to get an extra 200-300 calories a day over what I was getting a few weeks back through this attention to detail. It may not sound like much, but that's about 10-15% more than what I was eating, and it's made all the difference. It also helps that I'm alone this week (Gary not here cooking all kinds of yummy smelling things) so I have remained very focused on my own path.
Detox Symptoms:
- Besides the tiredness, I had a few headaches in the late afternoons. The first one, on day three, was the killer one that required Big Pharma's help (due to childcare considerations). Besides that one I think I've had two minor ones that were barely something I noticed.
- My skin, although maybe not overly noticeable to anyone but me, is definitely a bit redder, rougher, and changing every day.
- My tongue has a bit of white coating on it, and my mouth tastes slightly bad sometimes between meals.
Sensation of Temperature: This is a weird thing. Even when I was supposedly more on the hyperthyroid side a few weeks ago, my feet and hands were freezing (ok, we were in stormy, rainy Portland for a few days) all the time. And they are still pretty cold, although not freezing. So this is one thing I can't really make any sense of. Hypothyroidism makes your extremities cold. Why are mine still cold when I'm not hypo anymore? No clue. Just something I've noticed.
Indications that I'm going in the right direction
- Energy, when I do have it, is WAY up (like 50% increase).
- Energy levels stabilizing, rather than the roller coaster AWAKE ... tired ... AWAKE ... tired thing.
- Waking up earlier and earlier (5:30 today with no alarm: That definitely ain't normal for me).
- Wanting to exercise (but not really getting a huge chance, with the kids. I have done a few strength training exercises each day, but very little cardio this week).
- Feeling very satiated most of the time.
- Marked decrease in cravings.
Body fat: 23.6% (+.1)
Hydration level: (-.3)
Note: Those numbers seem very strange to me, but judging by how good I feel I can only conclude that my body knows what it's doing, in the order it wants to do it. :-)
- 4 cups orange juice (10 oranges)
- 8 red bananas
- 6 red bananas
- 2 mangoes, 2 stupid hachiya persimmons
- 6 blended clementines, which I drank and also used for salad dressing on my salad of 1 romaine heart, 2/3 roma tomato, 2/3 red bell pepper
Calonutrient ratio: 91/5/4
Day 7: Strangely hungry much of the day
- 4 cups orange juice (10 oranges)
- 7 red bananas
- Smoothie with some citrus leftovers from the kids: 1.5 kiwis, 5.5 tangerines, 2.5 cups strawberries
- Smoothie: 6 red bananas, 1.5 cups red grapes
- Salad: 11 oz romaine (2 romaine hearts), 1/2 sliced avocado (2 oz), 1 ear white corn; dressing of 1 small avocado (4 oz), 1 cup grape tomatoes, 5 honey dates, juice of 1/2 a lemon (a bit too much lemon).

- 4 stalks celery

- A few bites overripe hachiya persimmon, 1 mango, 1.5 cups red grapes (I was not hungry even at the beginning of this meal, and probably should have heeded the call and not eaten, but I wanted to try to get my full calories for the day, so I did anyway.)

Day 5: Bless Me, Dr. D, for I have sinned ...
Today the skin on my forehead is really rough and my nose looks red (rosecea-like issues going on). My energy is not so great yet, but I can really tell I'm in cleansing mode, more so than when I was doing my halfway approach to this diet.
I have been doing a lot of visualization recently, seeing myself as energetic and healed. It's helping to keep my spirits up. I think the most difficult part of this whole journey is just the first step. Not even the first action, but the thoughts that precede the action: Just believing that it's possible to heal, and countering all the negativity that is dumped on you by the medical establishment, which feels like a latrine of 100 elephants.
- Juice of 7 oranges (3.5 cups)
- Smoothie: 4 red bananas, 6 oz blueberries, 3 pears (a couple varieties -- not sure which -- from a bag of bargain produce)
- Watery smoothie of 2 red bananas, 4 honey dates, with a handful of common mallow (malva neglecta) from my back yard (I was doing the weeding and found some edibles!). If you don't know what this is, check out the link, because you probably have some of these free greens in your yard too! 1.5 Hayden mangoes on the side.
- 4 stalks celery - I was kind of craving this.
- 2 fuyu persimmons, 1/2 small hachiya persimmon, 1 burro banana. I never had one of these before. I don't think it was ripe enough. 4 oz avocado, 1.5 cups red grapes, 1 red bell pepper.

Day 4: Craving uprising
I struggled with some horrendous thoughts of devouring the cheese Gary bought that's still in the fridge, as well as some of the cooked stuff the kids had, but I managed to not focus on it. I just noted the momentary sinking feeling and moved on, although I did note I was more irritable than usual.
I was very, very tired in the evening, and forced everyone to bed at 8:00. Had a bit of a yelling match with the two-year-old who jabbered in bed for an hour, talking about "night night" and "a-muls" (animals). Under normal circumstances this would have been cute, but I was not in the mood. I badly needed sleep, and he was extremely reluctant to give it to me! I finally went to sleep a bit after 9:00.
- 5 cups orange juice (10 oranges)
- 8 red bananas, 4.4 oz box of blueberries, 2 sticks celery, blended
- 3 fuyu persimmons
- 1 box 4.4 oz blueberries
- 1 romaine heart, 1/2 cup broccoli, 1 large carrot (trying to use these up - I had a whole bunch in the fridge from my juicing days), dressing of 1.5 roma tomatoes, 1/2 avocado (2 oz), 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 ear yellow corn

Day 3: Nightmares can be a good omen!
he's programming/starting up
your new water treatment plant!) and I'm on the childcare/juggle-your-life/24-7 thing. (I did manage to track my food, see below.) Yet I can tell you with certainty that something has shifted within me. The last few weeks of struggle have turned out to be a watershed moment in my life, separating the wheat from the chaff.
I have been on such an emotional upswing it's almost unbelievable. I fully, one hundred percent, believe in myself, and believe that I can heal from this. I also believe that I have the focus and clarity now that it will take in order to achieve it, and that's what I needed to take some time honing. It's a hard thing to do: Not only what no one else will do, but what many people are appalled that you even want to try, and to do it with conviction and certainty, is a difficult thing. I have acknowledged that for myself.
Let me tell you about my daydream yesterday (and then I'll tell you about that nightmare). I was thinking about that moment when I know that I have finally overcome this thing, who I would like to thank as I throw out that last bottle of levothyroxine: My parents, who have supported me emotionally during this journey; my husband, who's really seen the worst in me and stuck by me nonetheless; Paramahansa Yogananda, my guru, who has taught me to believe in the wonder of myself; Jesus Christ, who taught that love is the greatest gift of all; Bikram Chodhury, who would never take no crap from no one, including me, when I think I can't do it; and my kids who are so precious to me, who gave me a beautiful reason to try to reclaim myself and who teach me that I am worthy of love. Those are a few, and I'm going to keep thanking people (there are a million more) as my healing progresses. So if I didn't mention you, I'm thinking of you. Just wanted to get the gratitude juices flowing.
I think it really helped me tremendously on an emotional level to literally throw out my higher, 112 mcg, dosage, which I happily did on Friday morning. I thought for a nanosecond about keeping it, just in case, but I thought how stupid that would be, because I don't intend to ever need it again. And keeping things like that laying around in a houseful of kids is a health risk, besides. ;-)
I was listening to KPFA radio here in
... and then there's detox. Ai-yai-yai! It really ain't so fun. But it's not so bad this time 'round either. Just groggy ... didn't want to get out of bed. Only a very slight headache though, thankfully. So all in all I have to say it's rather painless. But I did dream last night of drinking a giant cup of coffee with cream while I munched maniacally through a Snickers bar and a packet of Skittles. Sent me into a mental tailspin in this dream too, feeling no hope, feeling controlled by the world around me, etc., etc. And then I woke up from that nightmare and, behold, it was very good. :-) My life was still in my hands! And I realized that I must be -- finally -- growing, because I know that once a fear reaches nightmare proportions, I have immense power to turn my back on it. And I can only get better from here.Food:
- Juice of 10 oranges (5 cups)
- 8 fuyu persimmons
- 8 red bananas blended with 2 stalks celery
- 4 stalks celery, 3 small zebra tomatoes (last of my garden crop), 1 romaine heart, 1/2 avocado (2 oz); 8 blended tangerines

Day 2: Stats
- Juice of 9 oranges
- 3 manila mangoes, 5 fuyu persimmons
- 8 bananas blended with 2 stalks celery and 1 cup strawberries (by the way, if anyone reading has a two-year-old, a big stack of strawberry baskets can keep one of those kids occupied for hours!)

Into the deep end, completely at peace
Today, emotionally, I feel totally at peace with this decision -- and I have made the decision. I'm not looking back, come hell or high water (which I am 99% certain will not happen). I have informed those around me who I needed to inform about my decision. Now it's time to begin my healing escapade.
My goal with this diet, my first goal anyway, is to fully recover from Hashimoto's thyroiditis and its consequent thyroid failure, as well as to restore my adrenal function. Endocrine balance, period. I doubt there's a doctor out there who would think it possible. My doctor said, quite frankly, he thinks I'm past the stage where my body can deal with it, or something along those lines; that I'm past the point of recovery.
I don't believe that. I believe I can and will recover.
New Rules
Screw my previous attempts at making up my own rules. The new rules are the old rules. Very strict 80/10/10 raw vegan to the freakin' letter. I will also (try) to tell you what I'm eating, for those who want to learn about this. While I may eat more than one food at a time, I will endeavor to have no more than four. I will not have coffee, juice (except oj), salt, oil, seasoning: Nada, but will hopefully receive the blessings of the entire universe in exchange.
A new life begins ... NOW! :-)

Court of Appeals of Oregon
April 16, 2014
DIANNA BLANKENSHIP, Plaintiff-Respondent,v.ROBERT SMALLEY, Defendant, and CAROL SMALLEY, Defendant-Appellant
Argued and Submitted: January 31, 2013.
Clatsop County Circuit Court 102175. Cindee S. Matyas, Judge.
Lisa T. Hunt argued the cause for appellant. With her on the briefs was Law Office of Lisa T. Hunt, LLC.
Thomas Raymond Rask, III, argued the cause and filed the brief for respondent.
Before Ortega, Presiding Judge, and Sercombe, Judge, and Hadlock, Judge.
Page 574
[262 Or.App. 242] ORTEGA, P. J.
In this contract dispute, defendant appeals a limited judgment, contending that the trial court erroneously granted summary judgment to plaintiff. Plaintiff initiated an action against defendant Carol Smalley and Carol's ex-husband, Robert Smalley,[1] for, among other things, breach of contract. The dispute centered on the Smalleys' purchase of plaintiff's shoe business, and related specifically to a June 2009 contract executed by plaintiff and Robert that set forth the purchase terms. Plaintiff alleged that she had orally agreed to sell the business to the Smalleys in February 2009,[2] and that the written contract that plaintiff and Robert entered into in June 2009 served to memorialize that February 2009 agreement. Plaintiff further alleged that defendant had breached that contract by not making the required payments. Defendant responded that the oral agreement that she reached with plaintiff in February 2009 differed from the terms of the June 2009 contract, that she was not bound by the latter contract, and that she had satisfied the terms of the February 2009 agreement.
Plaintiff moved for summary judgment on a partnership and agency theory, contending that there was no genuine issue of material fact that defendant, as Robert's business partner, was bound by the terms of the June 2009 contract executed by Robert, and that defendant had breached that contract. The trial court agreed and granted summary judgment.
On appeal, defendant raises three assignments of error. First, she asserts that the court improperly concluded that the June 2009 contract bound " a purported 'partnership' arising from [defendant's] solely-owned LLC." Second, she contends that genuine issues of material fact existed as to whether plaintiff had " legally sufficient notice" that Robert [262 Or.App. 243] lacked authority to enter into a contract binding defendant. Third, she maintains that the court could not determine the amount of damages " on this record as a matter of law." As explained below, we conclude that defendant failed to preserve her first and third assignments of error. Accordingly, we only address the merits of her second assignment and, on that assignment, we conclude that the court properly determined that no genuine issues of material fact existed as to whether plaintiff knew or had received a notification that Robert lacked authority to bind the partnership in June 2009. Therefore, we affirm.
Page 575
Summary judgment is appropriate if there is no genuine issue of material fact for trial and the moving party is entitled to prevail as a matter of law. ORCP 47 C. There is no issue of material fact if, based on the record, " no objectively reasonable juror could return a verdict for the adverse party on the matter that is the subject of the motion for summary judgment." Id. To determine whether a genuine issue of material fact exists, we review the summary judgment record in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party--in this case, defendant--and draw all reasonable inferences in her favor. Jones v. General Motors Corp., 325 Ore. 404, 413, 939 P.2d 608 (1997). We state the facts consistently with that standard.
The Smalleys are former spouses. Robert resides in Seaside, Oregon, and defendant resides in Scottsdale, Arizona. Plaintiff operated a shoe and clothing store in Seaside called Place 2, along with a similar store in Gearhart. The Smalleys operated a shoe and clothing store in Tillamook. Defendant generally handled the financial aspects of that business and Robert handled the day-to-day operations.
During a telephone conversation in the fall of 2008, defendant asked plaintiff if she was interested in selling Place 2 or having the Smalleys take over the business. In that conversation, defendant told plaintiff, " If anything comes to fruition, I will be your contact." Subsequently, Robert and plaintiff discussed the terms of a possible sale or takeover of Place 2, and Robert relayed the details of those discussions to defendant. In late February 2009, defendant called plaintiff to confirm the terms of a purchase agreement, to get [262 Or.App. 244] additional information, and to confirm that she and Robert were going to take over the store on March 1. During that conversation, defendant confirmed her understanding of the agreement with plaintiff. She explained to plaintiff that she understood that plaintiff wanted her to take over Place 2 by purchasing the existing inventory at the manufacturer's cost, which was estimated to be $34,200.[3] Defendant informed plaintiff that she was prepared to pay " $5,000 down" and $2,000 per month " until it is satisfied." Defendant expected to pay off the inventory cost by the fall, and defendant informed plaintiff that, by purchasing the inventory, she was also purchasing the business. The parties did not reduce that agreement to writing. Defendant did not speak to plaintiff again until August 2009.
The Smalleys took possession of Place 2 on March 1, 2009, changed the name of the store to Seaside Shoes, and registered the business with the Secretary of State. Defendant's business registration listed her and Robert as co-owners of the store. Over the next few months, defendant sent payments to plaintiff in various amounts. Robert also sporadically paid plaintiff with cash out of the store's cash register. In total, plaintiff was paid between $17,000 and $18,000. In addition, the Smalleys provided some inventory to plaintiff for her to sell at her Gearhart store. Defendant alleged that the value of that inventory was between $30,000 and $40,000.
In the months that followed the February 2009 agreement, Robert and plaintiff discussed reducing that agreement to writing. Robert represented to plaintiff that he and defendant were partners and that he had full authority to execute an agreement on behalf of the partnership. In June 2009, Robert and plaintiff executed a written contract for the purchase of plaintiff's business that varied from the terms that defendant and plaintiff had agreed to during their February 2009 telephone conversation.[4] Under the June 2009 contract, the purchasers of Place 2 were to [262 Or.App. 245] pay $39,000 for the inventory and an additional sum that was equal to the average yearly sales for 2009 and 2010. In addition, 10 percent of the monthly sales of Place 2 were to be paid to plaintiff, and those amounts were to be credited against the ultimate purchase price of the business. The
Page 576
parties agree that the average yearly sales for 2009 and 2010 equaled $156,500. The June 2009 contract did not list the name of any corporate entity and was executed solely by Robert and plaintiff.
Defendant had no knowledge of the contract executed by Robert and plaintiff. She first became aware of it in the fall of 2009 when plaintiff's lawyer contacted defendant requesting additional payments. Defendant was " furious" with Robert and did not believe that he was authorized to enter into any agreement with plaintiff as to the purchase of Place 2. In January 2010, defendant brought an action against Robert, seeking damages for the conversion of Seaside Shoes. According to defendant's allegations in that action, Robert had taken over the business and excluded her from it without her consent or approval.
In March 2010, plaintiff filed a claim against the Smalleys for, among other things, breach of contract, alleging that they had breached the June 2009 contract by not paying the purchase price agreed upon.[5] Plaintiff alleged that the Smalleys were business partners, that the parties had agreed to the purchase terms of Place 2 around March 1, 2009, that the written contract of June 2009 memorialized the terms of that agreement, that the Smalleys had paid a little over $17,000 towards the purchase price and inventory, and that the Smalleys were entitled to $21,700 in credit for inventory that they had provided to plaintiff's Gearhart store. Accordingly, plaintiff sought damages of $156,806.55--the remainder of the amount allegedly owing under the contract. In her answer, defendant raised an affirmative defense that the parties had entered into an oral [262 Or.App. 246] contract in late February 2009 to purchase the business for the cost of the inventory; she further ...

Oh my Lordy, it's Holiday Time again. I am here to remind you that in this particularly difficult economic time, it is not only O.K. but joyfully wonderful to make your own gifts this year. In fact, why not start a new trend of making gifts for all the future holidays that will come upon us?
To inspire you, watch the latest video from Rev. Billy & The Stop Shopping Gospel Choir. They have some wonderful ideas, including some gifts that the "non-creative" can give (although I believe everyone can make something!).
And remember, now is the time to start those projects, so they are ready for the holidays!

Grand Junction
Kade and I went with Cindi and Aiden to Junction for a quick overnight. We picked up Kirby (Cindi's sister) and her two boys Truett and Rylee, and other sister Kelly's boy Grey. We braved the mesquitos they were horrible but we made it to the lake. (lost lake) This is Truett, Kade and Rylee leading the way.
Aiden and Cindi. Aiden wanted to be held, he was a trooper and made it all the way though. He loved my camelback and kept saying water, water, water. So every so often I would lean down and let him get water from my camelback and it kept him focused.
At the lake eating chips and looking for fish.
We had a great time, we went to shreks forever after the night before and swam in the hotel swimming pool, and I got my fix at 8am. (starbucks) Our hotel was right next too it. Thanks Cindi!!!

Where have we been???
Ok so...... I have been out of the blogging, facebook world since before the holidays, my bad. A lot has happened lets just start at the top- I mean November.
November: The usual Thanksgiving dinner was yummy and was in the middle of training for Footlocker championships in California with my athletes.
December: The first weekend, 16 of my athletes from the cross country season ventured to Walnut California for the Western Footlocker Championships. I had some stand out performances and was pleased with how the trip went. We had a huge success in October with our fundraiser with the help of Pierce Oil and the local community, which lightened our trip expense tremendously. We were able to spend time in Disneyland along with the four day trip.
Christmas was nice and relaxing spent a few days with my parents and Kade enjoyed himself ofcourse!!!
New years was full of excitement lot of pots banging and well just trying to stay awake until midnight. Oh yeah I turned 31 on the 29th of December....
January: Hmmm....... flew by!
Febuary: In the middle.
Sorry no pictures I know I am lame. I will try and work on that.

As I've been posting here more and more recently, I've spotted a few things about the site which I'm not happy with. One of the biggest issues has been around how I sort posts and all the meta data that is related to them.
For the last few years I've used WordPress' built in Post Formats to organise the type of content I post here. They've allowed me to display content in different ways for each type of post I make. Alongside the Post Formats I've been making use of categories, each post got categorised with a category that corresponded to the type of post it was. This week I realised how redundant those categories are. Essentially I've been adding the same information to a post in two different ways, consequently posts have not had much context in terms of what they are about or how to find similar posts.
This morning I've spent a bit of time changing that. Posts are now categorised in wider subject areas and contain many different types of posts. I plan to surface the Post Formats information when I redesign the blog to have a design unique to me and that doesn't make use of one of the standard themes.
One consequence of the re-categorisation of posts is that it's surface how woefully I've been tagging posts. Currently I have 337 tags across 686 posts. That's a lot of tags, but even with just a cursory look over the tag list shows I've got many variations on the same word. One of my next, and probably most tedious tasks, will be to sort out and clean up my tag list so that they provide better granular categorisation.
It should provide a more useful hierarchy of meta data to the site, Post Format (type of post) \> Category (wider subject) \> Tags (smaller subject information). Hopefully it means I'll be able to find my own posts better, WordPress' recommended posts might actually be useful and return to the site, and readers will be able to find more posts related to the one they're reading.

my little sister sent me this photo of camilla belle (in head to toe derek lam) the other day and simply stated that she loved this outfit! i do too. and i think it would be a perfect ensemble for all of the holiday parties and events that are happening this time of year! (or maybe that wedding i just got invited to! congrats, kate!). it's dressy (and sparkly!) but still understated. and you could easily throw on tights and a great coat (for those of us living in the frozen tundra, otherwise known as the midwest) and still look super chic!
the tea length skirt is very "in" right now. however, it was rather hard to find a cute one for a great price. i found these two at urban outfitters that i think would work really well for this outfit!
i also found a couple of cute, embellished tops. i just could not choose which one to use! the first choice is a bit more similar to camilla's, but the second has more sequins (which you know i love!).
i am also giving you two choices for shoes. the first pair, i think, would look better with a more "winterized" look. and the others, again, look a bit more like camilla's.
finish the outfit off with a few simple accessories!
VOILA! camilla belle's look for less! what do you think? would you wear this look?

Think of a Number by John Verdon
How can someone know in advance which number you will pick when they ask you to? It's impossible, right?
The uncorrected proof I read was provided by Crown Publishers and Read It Forward. This book has been published and is available now at your local bookstore. It is also available as an eBook and on audio.
This is a very complex, detailed thriller that has more than one issue involved.
Dave Gurney has just retired as NYPD's top homicide investigator and he and his wife have moved to the country. He's a bit lost with nothing to do each day. His spouse loves the country, the weather, the freedom of the outdoors, but he's not as enthused. Then he gets a frantic phone call from a man he knew in college, but had not seem much of after that. It seems he's getting strange letters and the man is afraid. He should be...
What Dave founds out is that there is a series of letters and then murder. And it's not a single murder, it's a serial killer. But there is no connection between the dead that he can find.
While he's pursuing the investigation, his wife is getting more and more irritable with him because he's supposed to be retired. He begins to wonder if he might be losing his wife.
Between the tension in the household and the deviousness of the killer's mind, Dave is not having a good time. All he can do is press forward and see where it takes him...
If you would like my copy of this uncorrected proof, please follow these steps:
1) Leave a comment here on my blog;
2) Send me an email at info @ bookfaerie.com (take out the spaces) with your name and address and tell me why you'd like to read it.
I'll pick a winner in about a week.

As a model school in the Toronto District School Board (http://www.tdsb.on.ca/Community/ModelSchoolsforInnerCities.aspx), AMG participates in the CAT 4 assessment. It is a benchmark assessment used at all Model Schools in the Toronto District School Board. According to the CAT webpage, it "... assesses the essential learning outcomes of the following basic skill areas: reading, language, spelling, and mathematics." More information (sorry about the font change), can be found on the CAT site: http://www.canadiantestcentre.com/CAT4/CAT4-About.php
The assessment is rather long, but is informative, once the results are in. The results will be shared with you when that happens.
The completion date for the entire assessment is by Friday. The decrease in homework is due to the instructional time being used to complete the CAT 4.
Yesterday afternoon was our school Terry Fox run. I captured a few shots of the some of the students from Room 52:

Stonehenge yesterday morning was a photographer's dream, the mist hanging low over the plain as I headed towards London, the sun low in the sky at 6.15 before the tourists descended in their masses by the time I passed back the other way eight hours later.
On the way back from London I stopped in Bath via Frome, picking up some equipment for my dusty old keyboards, not used in anger for a while. With JEBO still on hiatus while we attempt to find a singer who encapsulates the good/reliable/relaxed trinity I have been invited by our bass player to play keys in a covers band.
Said band is one of those rarities in the rock firmament in that it has an agent and its members (even the keyboardist, apparently) get paid for gigs. I'm not one to turn my nose up at an opportunity, and the repertoire we'll be covering (in all senses) includes some of the very finest funk offerings, so enjoyable stuff.
It is a sad state of affairs, though, that JEBO, who have put out one decent and one very fine album, played Hammersmith, toured Europe and all that, have made – well, not very much at all. I'll have to check my figures, but I'm pretty sure it's around a four figure loss for yours truly in my decade with the band, probably significantly more for Rob and Jeff. Yet playing covers promises enough in the way of reward that I can invest in some new equipment in the reasonable assumption that I will recoup those costs after only five or so gigs.
Mind you, the question of whether to go with the public taste and be massively successful or to stick to your artistic guns and live off bread and water has been around for longer than amplified music and shows no sign of going away. For me, though, music is music is music as long as it is good music, and the opportunity to get back on stage is too good to ignore.

Personal Inquiry Project (PIP)
This is a Personal Inquiry Project I developed, adapted from the International School of Paris IB Program, Student Personal Project Handbook. I created the project after attending an Oregon Council for English Teachers conference, where I was inspired by workshops on project-based learning.
PIP is meant for any English classroom, and specifically aligns with many Common Core standards in reading, writing, language, and speaking and listening.
Sample Webquest
This is a sample webquest for a social studies class on the Industrial Era and Reform. The webquest asks students to answer the question, "Robber Barons or Captains of Industry?". The students are to research information on industrialists at the turn of the century and record evidence to support their thesis in a paper. There are links to GoogleDocs for the assignment and graphic organizer.
The students will then work in groups to come to a consensus on the question, and then create a poster or political cartoon they will then present to the class.
The webquest is here: Robber Barons or Captains of Industry? Webquest

Hand Crafted, Artisan Smoked Salmon
Cured Smoked and Matured in the Highlands of Scotland
At Summer Isles Foods we only use the finest Scottish and Irish salmon to make our smoked salmon products. The majority of our smoked salmon comes from Scotland's West Coast, however our award winning organic range is sourced from Glen Arm in Ireland. We believe that their organic salmon is the best available.
After we have received the salmon it is carefully filleted on site by hand. We know industrial filleting machinery can be faster, but we prefer to fillet our fish by hand. This ensures a consistency that would otherwise be impossible to replicate.
Prior to smoking, we cure all our smoked salmon in a gentle blend of salt, molasses, juniper and rum to impart a rich, complex flavour.
We never use harsh dry salts or artificial injection methods to cure our salmon.
The salmon is cured, smoked and matured for a minimum of 72 hours to make sure the flavour develops slowly and is balanced throughout.
After the flavour has developed we slice the smoked salmon sides. This again, is done by hand.
Hand slicing gives each slice of smoked salmon a texture that compliments the flavour of the curing and smoking process and makes every single mouthful a taste experience.
In our opinion, this is the way all smoked salmon should be. Some may call us old fashioned. We don't mind. Sometimes the old ways are the best.

Muskegon Senior High school was erected in 1925 by the order of the Muskegon Board of Education. It was built on the property known as Deer Park and covered the area between Sanford St. and Jefferson St. and Southern Ave. and Grand Ave. At that time it also included the Muskegon Junior college, which moved to the Hackley School in 1934.
. . . . . .
The building consists of three stories, 37 classrooms, a library, two counsellors' offices, two conference rooms, an office, two gyms, a modern stage and auditorium, a Little Theater and a fine cafeteria. Through the halls you will see different statues and pictures given by different organizations. As you come in the front door, you will see a statue of Lincoln (by Lorado Taft) given by the Said and Done staff of 1928. On the third floor the is a place for posters and paintings.
. . . . . .
Hackley Gymnasium was built in 1901 under the sponsorship of Charles Hackley. It is north east of the Muskegon Senior High School. Maybe some of you remember before the baskets were put in the locker rooms, when it was divided into sections with about 10 lockers each.
. . . . . .
As everyone should know by now, Wilson Field borders Hackley Stadium on the north. The field was purchased by the Board of Education in 1921. It was given over to the Physical Education Department in 1923. Since that time it has been used for boys' and girls' outdoor classes. The field has also been a practice place for the high school baseball and football team.
. . . . . .
Remodeling of the Hackley Stadium has been carried on throughout the summer under the direction of Mr. George Hansen, maintenance man in charge of buildings. Although the work is not yet completed, a number of changes have been made. The ticket window now is located in the north end of the permanent stands, where two rooms have been made available for the ticket sellers and faculty managers. The men's room has also been moved to the north end of the stands with the former men's room added to the football players' locker room. A new fence that will probably cause some discussion has been placed along the Jefferson Street side of the field. A treatment of the turf on the field has been made. The scoreboard is to be painted before the first game, Sept. 21. Later the lower part of the stadium will be cemented , and an electric scoreboard will be installed.

I've found myself playing more sessions that focus on 'grinding' recently, a common enough term and trope in MMORPGs. Mindless repetitive activities without any specific driven story or path seems to appeal more than usual at the moment. It motivated my brief return to Black Desert Online before going away on holiday, I played the game daily for just over a week before the shine wore off once more. It's one I return to occasionally for the combat and the mob grinding: the fast, combo-based combat lends itself to chain-mob slaying very well indeed. I have problems with several aspects of the game but the 'level by grinding mobs' isn't one of them.
I've been tempted to return to Lord of the Rings Online as well, strangely less by the main story, than by the feeling I should finally catch up the deeds on my main character. I focused for years on leveling and the epic story books, so his traits are woefully behind. 'Deeding' is a mixture of exploration and grinding mobs in this MMO: the slayer deeds involve quite serious kill totals as well (later ones require multiple hundreds of monsters in two tiers). That's not to paint it as a negative aspect of the game, when I'm in the mood for grinding it's great combined with some gathering, even if the monsters are 'greys' and die in a hit or two. When Syp posted recently on level-scaling in MMOs, I immediately thought of the impact this would have on deed grinding in LOTRO – if you couldn't out-level the zone and come back to speed-farm helpless monsters it would be a very different level of grind…
I've even been doing grinding a bit in World of Warcraft recently, albeit for weekly quest purposes. The latest weekly quest is to slay 100 demons in the Broken Shore zones. That's pretty easy to combine with other tasks such as the World Quest near Felsoul Hold that gives you an unlimited ammo cannon for shooting rapid-spawn felbats out of the sky.
I can balance this easily across my available gaming time; over the weekend I played a couple of short but immersive story-focused sessions in ESO, the kind where I take time to read everything I come across and immerse myself as deeply as possible in the rich lore. Combat remains a very big part of MMORPG gameplay however, and sometimes stripping away the quests that bookend or justify it, and simply settling into the ability rotation for a session of wandering and fighting, can be fun.

Scorpio Rising
By Alex McDonough
Part two of the Scorpio trilogy finds Scorpio and his new friend Leah in the London of Queen Elizabeth I. Here they find shelter with the Queen's astrologer, Dr. Dee, who believes he can help them solve the puzzle of Scorpio's golden orb. However, Dr. Dee's assistant Kelley becomes jealous of Scorpio's growing relationship with Dr. Dee and Kelley also wants to possess the orb. Meanwhile, Leah is off studying thievery with the notorious Lord Foistwell with a view to gaining skill enough to rob an old man of an ancient scroll that may have information on how to control the orb. But just as she and Scorpio begin to learn how to communicate with the orb, the deadly Hunters appear, intent on killing Scorpio and Leah, now that she has allied with Scorpio.
This was a pretty good story as Scorpio and Leah get to experience Elizabethan England. However, I do think that a girl like Leah, alone in that den of thieves run by Lord Foistwell would have soon been in terrible trouble. Also I found the characters acceptance of Scorpio's alien appearance more than just a little unbelievable, especially the Queen's refusal to turn him over to the witch hunters.The characters reactions to the alien just didn't ring true to me. But, despite that, I still found the story enjoyable and entertaining.

Wow huh? Plaid tights! Oh, and the dress is made by a St. Paul-ite who designs under the name Injured Aesthetic.
I hope I'm not pulling a big fat stupid here by saying the chick on the left is about the sassiest knocked up woman I ever saw. Give me a solid here -- she is pregnant, right? Naturally the showstopper was on the right. When I found out this cutout-back, trained and insane outrage was Zac Posen FOR TARGET, well, strangely I'm angered. Where the hell was I? Why didn't I get my sorry self over to Target and nab one of these puppies for myself? The woman in the middle is wearing a dress from Cliche, one of the Envision featured shops.

"McCarthy [45% Conservative Review Rating] is far and away the best man to be Speaker", says the Newtster.
Gingrich added:
He has a proven record as a leader in California and as a leader in the House. He's been a solid conservative. I think Paul Ryan's [58%] article endorsing him today says it all. He has a track record of bringing people together. And he can actually take on the president. He's helped Ryan pass four balanced budgets in the House, he has helped end earmarks and he has a solid record on the Second Amendment and a solid record on the right to life. I certainly think he is the best person to lead the House after John Boehner.

Thanks. What happens with CPUs where I assume a Ryzen 5 is just a die that
will not pass the highest clock frequency tests? Also what happens with die's
that are not totally functional so they need to be sorted for different products.
I am just asking how things work in general. In the old days I wrote system go/nogo
tests. Method was to put the IC in a system and try it. That has changed now right?

ECH in the near window of 106 and 141 on an unusually modern looking FEC202 this afternoon. Pair of Big engines, rock, IM and racks all neatly blocked. No freight cars on this one anywhere I look. 9 thousand feet and 9 thousand tons. EoT past MP216 at 4:35PM.
Get home safe, FEC.
