I wish I had a baby. Not just because they're stinkin' adorable, but because it's so fun to buy them cute accessories like the booties from Yo My Booties!
More about this great company:
Yo My Booties began with the impending patter of little feet and a lot of spare time on my hands. Yes, I was pregnant. I had always been a knitter, a sewer and a weaver since I was a little girl growing up in Louisville, Kentucky. I sewed my first shirt when I was five - for my doll.
So it was natural for me to knit for my new baby, Willa. I made several pairs of the angora booties and gave them away to mothers at "Mommy and Me" yoga. The response was immediate and amazing. Everybody loved them. People wanted more. I made more. Soon I charged for them. I couldn't keep up with the demand. I found manufacturing in South America and worked on building the brand.
Now Yo My Booties offers other unique, beautiful apparel and accessories for babies and toddlers.

A library should have no sound,
or so it's said, but I have found
that when a kid has found his book
he has to share, kids have to look.
A scream or two, a sudden shriek,
might make kids want to take a peek,
at books they never thought existed,
like fairy tales completely twisted.
"Oh, look! Here's something really funny!"
"Icky spiders!" "Silly bunny!"
Scary stories, nice and spooky,
A picture book that's really kooky.
A bit of noise is fine with me,
within a children's library,
as long as there is not a riot
a change of pace from peace and quiet.

Montgomery Area Food Bank Puts a Young Spin on an Old Programby Montgomery Area Food Bank on 07/16/14
Written by: Meg Mader, Account Executive, Digital Media-CDR Fundraising Group
The Montgomery Area Food Bank (MAFB), a nonprofit organization serving senior citizens in Alabama, recently put a "young" spin on an "old" program – and found gold: The MAFB was recognized with the 2014 IMAB Integrated Marketing Award.
The MAFB improves the lives of more than 330,000 people every year, providing free food to individuals and families in need by distributing groceries and other necessities, and partnering with more than 800 agencies. The Senior Supplement Program, one of MAFB's many life-changing services, provides nourishing food to elderly citizens across Alabama. Each month, all participating seniors receive a box filled with 25 to 35 pounds of nutritious food carefully selected for the special needs of older citizens.
But at one point, this relied-up service was in jeopardy – the Senior Supplement program had been struggling, and with funding so low, any hopes of program expansion were put on hold indefinitely – MAFB has not been able to add any new seniors to the program in over a year.
Finding Gold in Something Old
The MAFB realized they had to make a change to achieve their goals of increased engagement and overall support for the Senior Supplement Program. In their new strategy, MAFB switched the focus of their marketing, to call attention to the program itself and allow supporters to get to know the seniors they serve. The MAFB did this by sharing personal stories from participants, a smart way to educate donors on how the Senior Supplement Program profoundly improves the lives of seniors in need. The MAFB also began showing program-specific donors results to acknowledge the impact of their gifts and foster an emotional connection between the donor and the seniors.
To share their stories and increase awareness of the Senior Supplement Program, the MAFB switched to social media. Typically known for its influence on a younger audience, the MAFB opted to use social media channels to put a young spin on an old program, with hopes of reaching new followers and growing support. Staff dedicated one month to using Facebook, Twitter, and the MAFB blog to promote stories, facts and information about the seniors they serve. On Facebook, MAFB posted compelling images with facts summarizing the serious health concerns facing seniors who are malnourished. On their blog, the MAFB posted persuasive stories, one of which was written about an 81-year-old woman whose medical conditions did not allow her to digest solid foods.
The social media strategy was complimented by a matching grant opportunity: all first-time donors or donors who increase their giving (by dedicating gifts to the Senior Supplement Program) had their donations matched with a $10,000 gift.
One Donor 'Ensures' Program Continues
The results of this "young" strategy proved very rewarding for the program. In response to the story about the elderly woman who can't digest solids, the program received donations of Ensure meal replacement drinks. The MAFB also received monthly sustainer donations in response to the same story.
In addition to expanding their social reach, the MAFB saw increases in overall visitors to their website and click-throughs driven from social media posts. In June of 2014, the Senior Supplement program increased the number of participants served by 6%, and this growth is forecasted to continue. On social media, the MAFB saw a 5.6% increase in Facebook likes, and an impressive 33% increase in Twitter followers in May and June of this year.
Last, but perhaps the most meaningful, the organization saw growth in their monthly recurring donations, adding 7 new monthly donors in 2014, two of which contribute directly to the Senior Supplement program.
The MAFB showed that social media is a powerful platform and useful for integrated campaigns when part of a strategy. These initiatives proved that knowledge is power – when supporters know more about the program's depth and true impact of their gift, they develop a stronger connection to the organization's mission and are more likely to stay engaged and give again. And while the Senior Supplement Program caters to older citizens, it is in fact, young at heart.
This blog was written by Meg Mader, (Account Executive, Digital Media-CDR Fundraising Group) on behalf of the Montgomery Area Food Bank for their recognition of the Integrated Marketing Award presented by the Integrated Marketing Advisory Board.

I had suggested a Tee valve in the beginning of this thread
so many muchness
yes. i understand a tee would have been the best option. but when i ordered parts i didnt order that, and i didnt want to wait another week for a tee.
i also like the idea of the toolie piston and wanted to test it out
No worries. You built what you wanted to build.
Thats what makes the hobby fun, not building what other people to tell you.
The fact that you were the one to first put up a Toolies valve to modify your own design is good enough for me.
so many muchness
A QDV would be just as relevant as a toolie for this gun. That much dead space warrants a good valve.
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -Benjamin Franklin
Toolie valves are cool!
They enable you to place the exhaust valve in a completely different manner..
That way you won;t end up with just another T-valved cannon..
something a bit more original..dead space or not!

Oh my friggin god stop being so awesome, that thing is pure kick ass. Most innovative and creative pneumatic that the files have ever come by!
Can't ask for a better compliment!!
Has anybody tried a toolies piston in a tee configuration? That would combine better flow and cut down on weight because the rod isn't as long.
Something like this
gun is drying right now. from our test fire it is going to work. will know for sure tomorrow. tomorrow night expect it to be in the gun showcase with alot of pics and a write up

I got two PM's for over posting it on too many threads. So I'm posting it less as requested. It will show in searches.
Yep - That's the exact idea behind my "palindrome" piston. Works great! I have it employed in my "1 gallon" lancher, and a similar design in my "10 gallon" launcher.
Good to hear! I'm thinking about going even smaller and using it in conjunction with a pop-off for a full-auto airsoft gun.
who ever said the rubber stopper would get stuck was kind of right. instead of getting stuck, at 80psi the 2.5 inch rubber stopper was pushed all the way through the 2inch pipe and even bend the rod and went around one of the elbows. cut the gun in half and fixing it now. putting a big washer behind the stopped to prevent it from happening again
but when that stopper went all the way through it released the air and it was insane!
Maybe a hard washer on both sides of the rubber may prevent that, but then it goes back to the original question. Will it get pushed in tight and stick?
we sanded it down a little bit in the back so if it does get pushed it we can get it out. and the washer will prevent it from going in all the way.
Will be testing again tomorrow. Kind of sucked that we had to cut the gun in half and the elbows off to fix it

It has been a long time since I last wrote. I haven't really had time because of school, work and other stuff. But a fellow classmate of mine asked me question, which led me to write this post, because I think that many people are seeking for motivation, but they don't really know what they are looking for.
He asked me "what motivates you to go to school". So the reason he asked me was because I'm a hardworking person. I love school and it has always been like that. He was wondering what drives me to go to school and do my homeworking every day. You probably hear people hating on school and stuff, and then there is me, who feel like I'm uncompleted without school, because it gives me something to do besides working of course. Now I sound like a freak or a nerd, but I'm not. You know why? Because I believe in "education is the key to success" and because of that I need to give it 100%.
Before I answered my classmate I had to think about it, because it's not something I normally think about. My answer to him was: "It is the idea of learning something new, but also because I want to achieve something where I feel like everything I've worked hard for, has paid off."
So if you're looking for motivation, you need to look deep inside yourself. What makes you happy or what do you want to achieve? Just answering these two you can do really great things for yourself. You just need to believe in yourself and the rest will come by itself. Don't let negativity overshadow all the positive things. Always look on the bright site of life.
Our school system is different from the US and UK. We don't really have what you call high school. It's instead high school combined with college which is 3 years. From the age 16-19 years old or for some people 17-20 years old. And after this it's university or whatever they want to do with their life.
Sorry for bad grammar, but I hope it wasn't bad to read J

New Delhi: The Health Ministry on Friday assured all possible help to the 23-year-old gang-rape victim for her advanced treatment, including organ transplant.
"The girl is surviving as all her vital organs are functioning normally. A team of doctors has been formed to take care of her health. The only worry is that she does not catch any infection," Director General of Health Services, Jagdish Prasad said.
Once the girl comes out of trauma and does not contract any infection, the government will then explore possibilities of transplant of her intestines, he said.
"Transplant of intestines is not possible in India. But we have heard of such transplants being carried out in England. We will explore such possibilities. But the immediate worry is that she does not catch any infection and comes out of trauma," Prasad said.
The DGHS said a five-member panel of doctors will monitor her health everyday and ensure that she gets the best treatment. The panel will also report to the Health Ministry.
The girl may be taken off the ventilator today, if her condition continues to remain stable, he said.
Prasad said the Health Minister is also working out possibilities of providing some monetary help to her parents and will urge the Prime Minister for the same from his relief fund.
Government had yesterday formed a panel of five eminent doctors to be headed by Dr SC Sharma, Head of the Department (HoD) of surgery unit, AIIMS.
The other members of this panel include Dr Anil Aggarwal, HoD (gastro-intestinal surgery) at G B Pant Hospital, Dr Sunil Jain and Dr Ajit Sinha, both consultant and professor in the surgery department of Safdarjung Hospital and Dr Aruna Batra, HoD (gynaecology) at Safdarjung Hospital.

Just as it's important to compare California workers compensation rates, it's also worth taking time to ensure you choose the right employees. But how do you decide between two strong candidates for a role?
Here are some things to consider when choosing talent:
• Have both applicants come back in to the office for a second interview. Use the meeting to probe each candidate about their past challenges and setbacks and how they learnt from those experiences. Be prepared with a list of in-depth questions to gauge their personalities and approach to work.
• Find out how motivated the candidates are. Ask how they keep their skills up-to-date. Find out which jobs they have liked and not liked in the past. This can give an insight into their thirst for work.
• Have both candidates meet your current staff. See how they interact with the staff – are they a good fit? Do they seem warm and friendly or disinterested and defensive?
The above should assist you in deciding which candidate is the best fit for the job and your company.
While you're hiring and reviewing your need for new employees, it's worth reviewing your insurance as well. Workers' compensation is essential for employers in case of injuries to workers, and this includes any new team members you take on. Our team of agents can help you find good value California workers compensationrates for your business – call us for more information!

A Simple Media Center With Seamless Surround Sound
We love the sound we get from our surround sound speakers. But with the curse of being a renter, it's always tough to lay out the speakers and still keep everything looking fresh...
This shot we found on Flickr shows us that we need to stop worrying about hiding the speakers and just let them become another element in our media-center vignette.
In this shot from Flickr user me*jo, we see a (what else?) mid-century modern TV hutch accessorized with trinkets that complement a neutral color palette. Among those trinkets helping to frame the TV are a few of a set of gray surround sound speakers, including the subwoofer.
When you're willing to spend a buck and intentionally choose speakers that mesh with your decor, camouflaging them becomes a non-issue. when you're ready to buy, think about not only color, but also the size and shape of the speakers.

You will need:
4mm size crochet hook
a black button
sewing needle and white thread
Cream acrylic yarn, 8 ply or DK, Moda Vera Marvel (from Spotlight)
A quick and easy crochet for beginner to intermediate skill level?
The pattern is taken from a published book called 201 crochet motifs, blocks, projects and ideas by Melody Griffiths. Pattern is called "four square".
Stitch patterns used: ch, ss, dc, htr, tr, tr2tog and tr3tog
Once the first motif was finished, I put it aside and then use join-as-you-go method to link the second motif to the first on one side. You can start linking the outer most lacy corner when you crochet the round 4 on starting the third side of the motif. Make four motifs to fit an adult head.
To join the lacy corner, I did ch 2, ss to the corner of first motif, then another ch 2 back onto the second motif. Where only three chains are to be made for the motif, I did a link to the first motif by making ch 1, ss to lacy side, ch 1 back onto the second motif.
The flap to secure the headband has two button holes and a loop to allow for tighter fit around the head for smaller head circumference. To make the flap, I made two rows of 9 tr, then button holes and a loop of 12 chains from memory, just have to suit your button. Then sc all around the 12 chains before fastening off.
To finish off this headband, single crochet all around, 3 sc each lacy chain and 5 sc around the corners.
Finished measurements:
51cm length x 11cm height. Each four square motif measures 11cm x 11cm roughly, including the single crochet border all around.
|woman's crochet headband and earwarmer folded in half.
|with button enclosure
|Laid flat, headband, ear warmer with button enclosure and loop.

Blog Redesign, Fresh Citrus Flavor
Regular readers should notice something new yesterday; I've redesigned this blog. I've done several redesigns, but this is my first time writing a blog post detailing what and why the changes are made.
Why Search?
This blog doesn't have search. I wanted to add a search functionality since the birth of this blog. My temporary (or lazy) solution is to send the readers to DuckDuckGo site search query. Since this blog is hosted on Tumblr, the number of features you can add is limited to JavaScript. Therefore, I need to make sure the blog's loading time doesn't suffer each time a new script is embedded.
I discovered Switftype, a search engine creator, through one of the tweet by Garry Tan. Setting up Swiftype on Tumblr is merely a few steps by embedding a search form and a JavaScript snippet. They also provide analytics for search term so I can get some ideas what my visitors are actually expecting from this blog. What a nice opportunity for a redesign.
"Where should I put the search form?", was the first question need to be solved — it seems designer doesn't just instantly put everything together in Photoshop. It's usually located in header. It's not a bad idea if you own sites that depend on search for discoveries.
I need some metrics as references. Let's take a look at the traffic sources.
This blog traffic sources — from largest to smallest — originate from search engine, referral, and social media. Visitors who come from search engine usually close the page if the post doesn't match their questions. Sometimes they might find your post related to what they're looking and try to browse your archive. By adding the search form at the end, they're given an option search your blog easily. I also want to put priority on the blog posts instead of the search.
Relieving Readers's Eyes Fatigue
I'm not an expert in Typography nor design, but, compared to regular folks, I'm far more concerned with the typefaces, the line-height, and the width of paragraphs. Along with the words selection and sentence construction, these values construct the readers reading experience.
I want to ensure the readers can read the post from the beginning to the end with the least amount of stress as possible.
I've tried both serif and sans-serif typefaces. Sans-serif used be my favorite which was shown by my use of Adelle typeface in the previous blog design. I figure out I'll need a new sans-serif typeface which is easier on eyes, something similar to Avenir Next, but less geometric. After searching through Typekit, I picked Source Sans Pro as my new base typeface.
As you've seen right now, there is no huge differences except the header and footer contents. I've added background color for both header and footer to match my Tumblr avatar. I've moved some links from the header to footer to create some white space. I've removed the background textures to reduce the strain puts on your eyes.
I hope this redesign will make your reading experience more pleasant. There is no doubt you'll find some weird bugs in this new design; I hope you can let me know by using the contact page.

Puerto Rico's past and present will play prominent roles alongside Hollywood stars when "Christmas In Paradise" debuts on Lifetime Television December 15, 2007. Far from "Eureka," SCI FI star Colin Ferguson will share time on the small screen not only with co-stars Charlotte Ross, formerly of "NYPD Blue," and Devon Werkheiser of Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide," but also with the battle-hardened facade of El Morro, the 16th century fort towering over San Juan Bay, which welcomes over two million tourists each year.
Fans who want to follow in the footsteps of the celebrities have until the day of the premiere of "Christmas In Paradise" to sign up at www.mylifetime.com for a chance to win a three-day/two-night stay at another of the TV movie's filming locations, the Gran Meliã Puerto Rico, in the Holiday in Paradise Sweepstakes. Presented by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company and Lifetime Television, the lucky contestant whose name is announced during the December 15th broadcast of the feel-good TV flick and a friend will unpack their luggage in one of the resort's oceanfront junior suites, and can enjoy a complimentary spa treatment at the YHI spa and tours of both the El Yunque rain forest and old San Juan.

What Do You Drink On The Road?
Truck Drivers Need Fluids As Much As Their Rigs Do.
Truckers work hundreds of hours and drive thousands of miles each month. Our schedules vary, sometimes driving from early morning until sunset and the next day driving all night through a storm to get the load delivered on time.
The job demands that a professional driver isn't just awake, but alert and ready for whatever lays around the next curve.
Staying alert, hydrated and healthy all at once is a huge challenge for most of us. Truck stops offer a huge variety drinks which are usually pretty expensive and not always very healthy. A lot of trucks on the road now have refrigerators or even microwaves, allowing drivers to keep & prepare their own food and drinks.
TSG Tip: Late last year, I spoke with a driver who has a juicer in his truck. He keeps fruits & vegetables in his fridge to juice fresh each day.
Personally, I use a coffee maker in my truck most mornings, while keeping a few sodas and orange juice in the fridge. I also bring several gallons of drinking water on each trip.
What's Your Drink of Choice?
So, this week's question is: what do you drink while you're on the road? Let us know by taking the poll (you can choose as many as you like from the list).
Share your thoughts, opinions & tips in the comments section below. Do you buy stuff from a truck stop or stock up before heading out on the road? Do you make your own coffee in the truck? How's it working out for you?
Calling all coffee lovers: we also recently asked, how many cups of coffee do you average per day?

They're not the highest tech at the show, nor are they the easiest to find--I tripped over a couple in the furthest reaches of the exhibits--but I find myself intrigued by a couple of handheld digital microscopes I encountered while killing time before a meeting. These gadgets connect to your system via USB and allow you to capture megazoomed (albeit not terribly high-resolution) closeups of life's minutiae.
The first, from well-known Celestron, seems like it'd be a great gift for the child prodigies in your life. Reasonably priced at $139.95, the Handheld Digital Microscope can record 640x480 snapshots or 15 or 30 frames per second (fps) video at 20x or 400x magnification. It's about five inches high with an LED light. Although the company declares "It's not a toy!"; it's also not really a pro tool--the lenses are plastic, after all.
Celestron does offer a slightly better quality consumer LCD Digital Microscope, which will ship in February. It's not handheld, but a fixed, traditional microscope design. It's got a nice, large 3.5-inch LCD display and a built-in 2-megapixel digital camera. It supports 4x, 10x, and 40x optical magnification levels. At $299.99, it's also pricier.
Big C, the other company showing its microscopic wares, offers the irresistibly named Dito-Lite handheld models. They're even more expensive--the plastic-shelled AM413T runs $349, and its new-for-the-show, metal-hulled sibling AM413Mcosts $595--but they're also a bit more powerful. They have built-in LED lights, capture 1.3-megapixel images, 10x to 50x (continuous) or 200x zoom, can capture 15 or 30 fps video, and support add-ons like a stand and calibrator.

So on and so forth
Sunday, June 27, 2004
And at the start of Sunday evening all i wanted to do was get slightly drunk and have a good sleep. What i did end up doing was
a) watch other people get drunk
b) dance after being forced to
c) eat maggi in place of dinner
d) comfort you about your ex.
e) watch you make a fool of yourself
f) flush loos that werent
g) try to sleep till at 5.30 a.m. i gave up the fight.
I think it's going to be a great week.

I said i would mention tonight/this mornings conversation in my book (in a chapter titled "how i finished my summer project in one night")..but in the meanwhile here is to the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
i am always at my corny best when I have had no sleep, but the sentiment is genuine.
And this is the best time of the day - just before the sun rises, barefoot on the slightly moist grass, memories of other sunrises (too few), faint light in the horizon - the night is through, my work is not done but on the upside, I shall be eating breakfast for the first time in months.
You are right aisi, what happened to my sane life? Atleast at that time, the madness was only in my head and not for the world to see.
The question is, How do i go and face a few people tomorrow knowing that they know.
Unfortunately stupidity is not fatal.
Two cups of tea in a flimsy paper glass meant to hold cold coffee, a mounted fan providing the only movement in the room - dont dare move two inches this way or that - i will miss the breeze.
Did you think there would be a point to this post? There isnt.
Sunday, January 25, 2004
I do not know who I am madder at - you or me, me for having my unreal expectations, you for not even fulfilling the most basic of them.
Saturday, December 20, 2003
Wednesday, December 17, 2003
The only thing on my mind is the one thing I do not dare say out loud. Not because it is earth-shakingly profound but because it is excessively banal - a story you would see played out a hundred times. For the first time I am condemned to silence.
Monday, December 08, 2003
Freefloating - at a point where no ties bind me to anyone and anyplace. Its only the now that counts, nothing before and nothing beyond. Cant say if thats a good thing or bad, it just is.
As you can see, theres a reason I have not written for so long, even my usual 15 word sentences are delivered post depressingly long labour.
Tuesday, December 02, 2003
Found in 'Blogs of note' a site on celebrities and plastic surgery - you spend millions of dollars and look worse than you could ever have if you had allowed yourself to age naturally. It does not pay to try and outwit time.
Sunday, November 30, 2003
Shom, to more conversations.
Strip me of my pretensions. One is ordinary after all, with the commonest of woes and wanting the most superficial of joys.
Sunday, November 16, 2003
Dream the vividest of dreams, feel the lightness of being where I'd like to be with the people I'd like to be with. Wake up with the most acute sense of disappointment.
No need for Freud here - my dreams are clearer than reality itself.
Thursday, November 06, 2003
Why shouldnt humans hibernate? Life would look a whole lot better after six months of sleep. Sleeping Beauty had the right idea ...plus she was woken up at the end of it all by handsome prince not bloody alarm clock.
Sunday, November 02, 2003
For sheer imaptness, this blog should be called 'Sunshine and Cheer'. I am becoming a firm believer in the irony of life.
I think it is the fact that in the end it all comes down to me, my actions and attitudes that gives me the most anxiety.
Caught myself smiling on Sunday evening, if I had known what Monday had in store for me, I would not have bothered.
Thursday, October 30, 2003
With every step of the journey, you are faced with infinite choices. Each choice will lead you to a whole different life, you will know different people, do different things and be someone different. You make your choice, by serendipity or by careful thought and when you take a step in that direction, the other choices disappear. The doors slam shut behind you with finality. All you can do is look ahead where again your choices lie. Such is life dearest, you can never second guess - only hope that you will be thankful for this life, these things and these people.
How many other people can try to guess the answers to ten true/false questions and get nine of them wrong? Murphy must have had me in mind when he made that law.
Monday, October 27, 2003
Have learnt that the best way to get help is to ask for it. Pride has to take a backseat sometime.
Let me not forget however to emphasise the 'sometime'.
How to go from pleasantly high to dead sober in a minute: be presented with a bill for 8k when all you have is 3.5k. Had visions of all of us upto our elbows in soapsud for the night paying off our binge.
But credit cards were flashed and pockets were emptied of their last coins, so all was well...all except the fact that a late late party is not the way to start a new week.
Sunday, October 19, 2003
You are still one of the best listeners around - to listen without prejudice and without judgement, without the cliched remarks and to refrain from false sympathy or even worse, pity. I wish we could talk more often.
And in the meanwhile , shine on, you crazy diamond. Have an amazing life ahead.
Wednesday, October 15, 2003
WHen the night closes in, old ghosts reappear more solid than before, voices seem closer and every action takes on an intensity fuelled by the darkness, happiness seems more happy and despair more desperate. The past is breathing down your neck and the future stares you in the face but all is strangely illusory - surreal. Black and white and nothing in between.
And you pray for morning.
Sunday, October 12, 2003
Its funny how the Monday morning blues start to hit you around 8 p.m. on a Sunday night and last well into Thursday.
And I want to stop seeking for something that I will never find, walk away without a backward glance, throw up my hands and hibernate, never feel this alone, yell and scream and beg, beg-on-my-knees to escape my mind- my weakness, beg for healing.
I said I was fine but I am not and I dont want to have to fight the feeling anymore.
Wednesday, October 08, 2003
I was going to say I feel numb, then realised that it was such an oxymoron and then realised but that's exactly how I feel.
Breakfast. What happened to sitting in your balcony, sipping that amazing coffee, contemplating a lazy day ahead. Those dosas at Kamat after our power walks - another excuse to dissect the world and those in that sunlit patio laughing till my sides ached, my circle of protection. Now reduced to a two minute dash to the mess, buttering two slices of lukewarm toast and stuffing my face as I run to class. Bon appetit.
Saturday, October 04, 2003
Probably the best lesson to learn is to when to keep your mouth shut.
You would think that after several episodes of foot-in-mouth, I would have understood that but no, no, no, my capacity for self-destruction is immense.
Wednesday, October 01, 2003
Isn't distance supposed to give you perspective?
Honestly get more perspective from reading Dilbert.
Even the long weekend aint looking that good right now.
This is what happens when you have two slabs of buterscotch icecream for dinner.
Thinking is very dangerous on an empty stomach.
Am i supposed to feel better or worse when you tell me, 'a lot of other people have gone through this, you will come out of it ok'?
A lot of people taking advantage of the long weekend to head home/elsewhere for a break.
I would leave too - if only I knew where I wanted to be.
Remember wanting to be to too tired to think - drive my body to exhaustion so I wont be able to form a coherent thought. I am dead beat right now but the thoughts are still very much around.
Monday, September 29, 2003
And speaking of holidays, festivals should not be allowed to fall on weekends - could i have a llittle cooperation from the stars on this one please!
You know you need a break when your term has just started and you have already memorised the list of the holidays in the next three months (not too many, the tyrants)
Classes at 8.30 in the morning four days in a row - is someone up there having a jolly good laugh at all the non-morning people(me and 95% of the class).
Well atleast by the end of this term I would have perfected the art of getting ready in three minutes flat.
Over the weekend, saw the daftest movie in the whole wide world - Pirates of the Carribean. Scripted by an 8 year old, costumes by a not-very-bright 8 year old, acting that would make puppets look alive, and dialogues from a book called 'The world's corniest lines'.
Thankfully redeemed by some excellent company.
Thursday, September 25, 2003
There are some people who grow on you- the surprise packages and every layer you uncover a joy.
Too bad they are outnumbered by the people who look good at first and second glance and then the warts become way too apparent.
What cheeses me off - people who walk to the first couple of individuals standing in queue, pretend to strike up a conversation with them and then insinuate themselves into the line...if you have to be despicably rude, atleast be blatant about it.
also the idiot who didn't read the bright yellow sign that said "Do not disturb - people asleep inside" and knocked loudly on the door successfully ruining my well-deserved nap...grrr.
I can see you hunched over the computer, running your hand through your hair, your glasses reflecting the glare of the monitor and today, I feel nothing - you have finally been banished to memory.
Saturday, September 20, 2003
I love this keyboard - it sounds like a typewriter..actually makes me feel like i am writing- sweating it out, somehow the new ergonomic ones give me no satisfaction whatsoever, fingers gliding over the keys with barely a whisper - give me clackity clack clack anyday...though my roommate would disagree.
Unfortunately inadequacy is what you will come across all your life- inadequate time, resources, people and you.
Thursday, September 18, 2003
Music, a cup of hot lemon tea, room bolted from the inside, cell phone off, one crocin down my gullet...its easy to block out the world sometimes.
Wednesday, September 17, 2003
To think that the words 'strategy', 'dynamic', 'core competence' 'consumer value' is what I am going to hear practically everyday for the rest of my life.
No more 'value addition' cheri, j'en ai assez.
Its not that I dislike some people..let me put it this way, if certain someones were to trip and get a big shiny bruise, I wouldn't be overwhelmed by sorrow.
Maturity, Aditi, maturity.
Sunday, September 14, 2003
Have i said this before?
Faith is the hardest thing. To believe with all your mind and heart against rationality and possibility sometimes. To feel a certainity.
I think i have taken the easy way out with doubt and suspicion.
Why do I have this blog?
Got asked this. Good q. Quality of posts - detriorating, frequency of posts- detriorating, broadness of thought - non-existent.
So its down to indulgence, my alowance to my mind.
And EH, if the current posts arent enough to get your teeth into, you have the right idea - read the archives - its what I do :-).
So how does it feel to be in the bottom 10% of the class after having been in the top ten all your life? depressing, one of those very bad nightmares coming true. dreading the thought of the next exam. but then again cant get much worse can it?
this is a good time for someone to tell me the exams are not a sign of my intelligence, that my placements will be allright nevertheless and that i have not effectively ruined my future with bad grades (cause thats everyone thinks)
Bloody hell, i need to be convinced.
Also can someone look into the future n tell me if the operations paper is going to be the diasaster it was the last time around.
I told you i was stuck in a rut didnt I?
Well a good thing at any rate, dug out a couple of tennis racquets (thank you roomie) and managed to get myself playing...pretty decent after what, 6 years. Still have the lousy forehand but the service and backhand are not that rusty.I can hear coach going in my ear, eye on the ball, connect at the centre and follow through.
Excellent advice i must say.
Going through all the files saved on my system and one huge file containing all my blog archives (for those days when I lived with a quirky dial-up and would save my posts on MS Word before transferring them to blogger), its amazing the stuff I thought of - I seem to have lost that knack and now try as I might, my mind seems stuck, and i wish i could change track ..how long is writer's block supposed to last anyway? or even worse is it a thought block?
Friday, September 12, 2003
Yes sir, been a great year, much treasured mails and long conversations and the not-so-pleasant bits too. Here's to a lot more of the same.
Sunday, September 07, 2003
And i dont know what I miss - but its probably your hug, balance, breakfast, you and you and you, vacations, acing the exams, laughter...
and the sleep.
What worries me is that I shall forget that i have a life outside this school and more importantly a thought outside this mindset. of cgpa and placements.
I have to keep reminding myself everyday.
Friday, September 05, 2003
Issues issues - you are supposed to mull over stuff i write here. and all i have done tonight is blab. its nearly three in the morning and i have had an average of four hours of sleep over the week so i shall excuse myself now.
So what new insights have I gained in the past two months at b-school. People will surprise you all the time and mostly not in a good way.
Boy, dont I have the knack of making a rather cliched statement sound like a bloody revelation.
To the people who read my blog and are nice enough to leave a comment, thank you. i dont reply to your comments (why? i am not so sure why) but they are very much appreciated. keep stopping by.
Its so long since i logged into blogger - yet my username and password come instinctively - i only wish the words did too. But the three hundred and six thoughts leapfrogging in my head prove very elusive when i need to put them down into concrete words. even words have become too definite for me - if i put them down, they become too real and i can see old ghosts hovering around them.
and i want to say it all and i find that i cant.
Sunday, July 20, 2003
When the stars in my room will be abruptly put out tonight, it'll be my lonliest night in a long time. Like mother turtles that come ashore, but for a brief while, to leave their seed in grainy graves, I came home, for a brief while. The directions Mr.Bow shot his arrows are yet unknown, and we wait. Like the patient lover in torrential rain, I wait.
Time and hope, I always believe, can never dance together on the same floor. For when suddenly all hope is lost, time seems to be a-plenty. There are few who manage their reserviors of time and hope well. Strangely, they are magnamously called recluses by the self proclaimed happiness pundit.
Into the pangs of the night, a freefall of destiny. Of choices made and chances turned away. Into a cold, soft, large and lonely bed, I'll tuck back in. Where the dreams of a cottage by the sea, I hear, come creeping in.
when anyone is as tired as I am right now, it's usually after climbing huge unsurpassable mountains, or after running the marathon a few dozen times. no mountains scaled, no tape cut in half by a final surge of breathe. this is the fatigue of success, something that i never thought would come a-knocking so soon. i could have a lil party to celebrate, if my aching body could think straight right now. instead am holed up inside, jabbering to someone i don't really know. pondering the things that will see me running around tomorrow again. a fresh lap, a few hurdles to jump over. somehow, somewhere i know this is just a meagre start to a long race.

Very different times than most have experienced in this lifetime.
The truth will set us all free and give us the courage to act and live accordingly.
Much of the; news, advertisements, sales and persuasions of thought
still have their basis in fear and insecurity. Once we fully break from that
mindset individually as more and more are doing daily that
house of cards will crumble. Many that think they are vested in
such may fight as the peaceful will persist and pay them no mind
in many ways. Those that fight will be set free when they choose to
give up the fight. There will be much conversion to peaceful ways
and the sooner the better for all will be…
We all have a choice in every moment choosing love will set us free.
Do your part. Know you are loved. Know you have the strength and
support of legions of angels. With this we all move forward into the Known world.

text: WESTMINSTER Adams School District 50 is defending its decision to punish a third grader for sniffing a Sharpie marker. Eight-year-old Eathan Harris was originally suspended from Harris Park Elementary School for three days. Principal Chris Benisch reduced the suspension to one day after complaints from Harris' parents. Harris used a black Sharpie marker to color a small area on the sleeve of his sweatshirt. A teacher sent him to the principal when she noticed him smelling the marker and his clothing. "It smelled good," Harris said. "They told me that's wrong." Eathan's father, John Harris, says the school overreacted for treating Eathan as if he was huffing, or inhaling, marker fumes. "I think it's outlandish," John Harris said. "It's ridiculous." Eathan shyly shook his head "no" when a reporter asked if he knew about "huffing." Benisch stands by his decision to suspend Harris, saying it sends a clear message about substance abuse. "This is really, really, seriously dangerous," Benisch said. http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=89333

The latest school massacre, which was in Parkland Florida on Valentines Day (2/14/18), may have more of a lasting impact that previous ones. The teen survivors are calling out the blame mongering and refusal of Congress and Trump to do their jobs in protecting children and teachers – and making a concerted effort to pull in others through social media. And they are not putting on a polite front in their speeches or in interviews. For example, teen survivor Emma Gonzalez gave an amazing, heartfelt, passionate speech calling out President Trump, the GOP, and the NRA for enabling the murder of children at an anti-gun rally.
"How about we stop blaming the victims for something that was the shooter's fault?" [Emma Gonzalez] demanded, and called out those who do deserve to shoulder that blame.

If you believe the hype, every vendor is a Big Data vendor and every new company is a cloud company. Cloud and Big Data form the beginning or the end of every other sentence in Silicon Valley. While you should disdain the hype, don't disregard the real underlying shifts happening in technology.
A number of emerging organizations run their entire operations exclusively in the cloud. These new-age organizations represent a generational shift in the IT industry — they are companies that bring products to market with little to no investment in their own infrastructure in a fraction of the time of many traditional competitors.
Cloud is simply what the world of manufacturing has been doing for a long time: using economies of scale and massive automation to achieve really low cost services for customers. And Big Data is the byproduct. Forrester Research recently defined Big Data as "Techniques and technologies that make capturing value from data at an extreme scale economical." If there is anything that represents scale in today's world, it's the ubiquitous cloud.
If you really want to think big about data, think of all the data from all the systems that power a cloud service like Google's email service or Salesforce.com's CRM service. With the cloud, users leave a footprint – data about response times, user experience, user preferences is being generated all the time as customers tap away at apps on their mobile devices, play games, click on ads, etc. Harnessing this data can be invaluable to providers of cloud services – but there are few technologies that can gracefully handle the volume, variety and velocity of machine data in the cloud in a timely manner to make it truly useful.
One pre-requisite for the technology is that it should be able to handle any kind of data, easily, without a lot of pre-processing or normalization. Another requirement is that it should start to yield value quickly and without a lot of development effort. And of course, there is the requirement that it should scale effortlessly to analyze several terabytes and petabytes of data.
The real question cloud organizations (whether they are providing a cloud service or using cloud services) need to ask themselves is, "What do I want to know about my customers that will help me provide a more effective service?" Extracting the right analytics out of their machine data should then be simple, if the processing is handled with a mature query language and the right visualizations. Having to write complex code, MapReduce jobs and integrations with visualization tools can make this task a lot harder, time consuming and difficult to maintain, than it needs to be. A world that wants everything-as-a-service requires their machine data-analytics also come as a service.
Those were the principles we followed as we developed Splunk Storm, a SaaS product for machine data analytics. Splunk Storm was built for developers who already embrace the cloud and need better diagnostics, troubleshooting, and business analytics.
We knew these were the next generation of Big Data users. They don't think of Big Data as something to grow into, but something that can deliver value from day one. They are the ones who are truly seizing the opportunity of operational intelligence in the cloud because they understand the incredible change it is triggering in technology and fully believe in its impact.Go Back to Top.

Kevin Pietersen says England can regain the Ashes even if he has a lean series.
The South Africa born batsman, who comes into the Ashes series that starts here at Sophia Gardens on Wednesday under the shadow of an Achilles injury, made his Test debut during England's 2005 home triumph against Australia when he scored 473 runs at an average of nearly 53.
And even though England lost the return Ashes series in Australia, in 2006/07, by a thumping 5-0, Pietersen still managed to score 490 runs at an average of more than 54.
By contrast the 29-year-old Pietersen's career average in his 52 Tests against all opponents is 50.49
No less a figure than now retired Australia leg-spin great Shane Warne, Pietersen's former county captain at Hampshire, said last month: "If England haven't got Pietersen I don't believe they can win.
"He's just a wonderful player."
But Pietersen, speaking to reporters at Sophia Gardens here on Monday, said: "I think you guys make the weight of expectation a lot greater than it actually is. In the dressing room, I am just as important as anybody else.
"There's no great weight of expectation on me in the England dressing room," said Pietersen, forced into resigning the captaincy of his adopted country in January after a falling out with then coach Peter Moores.
And he pointed to the form of his top-order colleagues as proof that England were more than a one-man batting unit.
"I know and we all know if you look at the stats over the last 12 months, that (England captain Andrew) Strauss has got hundreds, (Alastair) Cook has turned his fifties into hundreds, Colly (Paul Collingwood) has got hundreds, (Ravi) Bopara has got three (hundreds) in a row, and (Matt) Prior has got runs.
"We've all got runs. I truly believe the guys in the dressing room will perform. If you get me out cheaply or if I have a bad series, England can still win. But I don't ever intend to have a bad series.
"I am as ready as I can be. I love playing Australia."
As for his own fitness, Pietersen, who has had cortisone injections, said: "I started running last week so I'm pretty good compared to where I was two weeks ago."
Wednesday's match will be the first time Cardiff, better known in sporting terms for having the home ground of the Wales rugby union team at the nearby Millennium Stadium, has staged a cricket Test.
But Pietersen said he hoped England could tap into the local enthusiasm for sport saying it would be akin to the backing the British and Irish Lions rugby side got during their tour of South Africa, which ended last weekend.
"We played here against South Africa (in a one-day international) last year. The boys have seen how much support the Lions have got in South Africa for those Test matches. The support here for us is going to be similar.
"We are looking to put on a really positive performance for the Welsh public, we know how sports mad they are."
Australia arrived in Britain without a clutch of retired senior players but Pietersen said the fact Ricky Ponting's new-look side had won a Test series in South Africa earlier this year was proof that they would not be pushovers.
"Any team that loses (Shane) Warne, (Glenn McGrath), (Matthew) Hayden, (Justin) Langer, (Adam) Gilchrist, Damien Martyn, are not going to be as strong because those guys are as close to legends of the game as you can possibly get.
"Some of them are legends of the game. Yes, your team is going to be weakened but the Australian way is to come out and be fiercely competitive, to be dominant in what they do and be forceful in their approach.
"It doesn't matter who they put out, it's going to be tough for us to do the business," Pietersen added.
"When those guys put on their baggy green cap, which is so historic to them, they are a fierce side.
"And three months ago they beat South Africa in South Africa so this team is a good team...they are the world champions, the favourites.
"We expect it to be tough but we are also going to come out hard because we are not scared."
England can win Ashes even if I fail - Pietersen
Kevin Pietersen says England can regain the Ashes even if he has a lean series.

Khator announces UH Sugar Land Transition Steering Committee
Moving from aspiration to transformational action, University of Houston System Chancellor Renu Khator has announced the appointment of a Sugar Land Transition Steering Committee that will define pathways for the transition of the University of Houston-Victoria (UHV) and the UH Sugar Land campus.
The committee and work groups, which will include high-profile educators, alumni, community and corporate leaders, and elected officials, will work to fulfill three overarching goals the UH System has established for the transition:
• To support UHV's goal of becoming a destination university
• To build a viable branch campus of UH in Sugar Land
• To explore an organizational arrangement that meets the UH System's need to serve its extended communities with speed, innovation and flexibility
The transition committee is headed by Dana Rooks, dean of libraries and Elizabeth D. Rockwell Chair at the University of Houston Libraries, who will serve as executive planning director. The structure includes a steering committee, leadership committee and four work groups representing UH Victoria, chaired by Charles Alcorn, director of corporate and foundation relations at UHV; UH Sugar Land, chaired by Robert McPherson, dean of the College of Education at UH; University of Houston, chaired by Earl Smith, interim chief health officer at UH; and the UH System, chaired by William Staples, president of UH-Clear Lake. Richie Hunter, associate vice chancellor/associate vice president for University marketing and communication, will lead strategic communications.
Appointment of the committee follows recent action by the UH System Board of Regents authorizing UH to expand programs in Sugar Land and relocate a large segment of its College of Technology to the UH Sugar Land campus. The board action came at the recommendation of a UH Sugar Land Task Force report that set in motion plans to make UH the sole UH System institution delivering programs at the Sugar Land Campus.
As UH expands programs at Sugar Land, UH-Victoria and UH-Clear Lake will incrementally cease delivery of their courses at the Sugar Land campus. The existing nursing program that UH-Victoria has offered at UH Sugar Land will be transferred to UH and become part of the newly organized UH Health Science Center.
"The UH System has a unique opportunity to re-evaluate its overall mission of providing affordable education to as many students as possible," Khator said. "In the process, it hopes to make the Victoria and Sugar Land locations capable of realizing their own vision of becoming the engine of economic and social development for their respective communities.
"The work of the Sugar Land Transition Committee will engage with faculty, staff, students, alumni and community leaders in Victoria and Sugar Land," Khator said. "The process of developing the upcoming transition plan is an opportunity to build something that is bold and unique, and that helps us close the achievement gap in Texas."
Goals of the work groups include:
• Support UHV's goal of becoming a self-sustaining destination university
• Determine how to separate UHV's destination operations from its extension operations
UH Sugar Land
• Build a financially viable UH branch campus in Sugar Land
• Transfer UH Victoria nursing program
• Identify and mitigate impact on UH
UH System
• Identify and mitigate impact on UH-Clear Lake and UH-Downtown
• Explore an organizational arrangement that meets the UH System's need to serve its extended communities with speed, innovation and flexibility
Community forums in Victoria and Sugar Land will be announced in the near future. The committee is expected to issue its report in October.
The UH Sugar Land Transition Steering Committee structure is available at http://www.uhsa.uh.edu/sugarlandtransition/news/UHSugarLand-TransitionTeamStructure.pdf.
Work groups are still forming. Comments and interest can be submitted at http://www.uhsa.uh.edu/sugarlandtransition/form/index.php.

Starting this summer, Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) alum Andrea Beattie will begin life in a new city and follow a dream larger than she ever expected.
Beattie, who earned her master's and bachelor's degrees in political science from TAMIU in 2012 and 2011 respectively, has accepted an offer to pursue joint doctoral study in public policy and social science at the prestigious Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan (U-M) in Ann Arbor.
Andrea Beattie
Beattie, 23, was one of 15 candidates chosen for the program from a total of 350 applicants. Her fully funded, U-M educational package offer is estimated at over $250,000.
"It's unreal, it really is," she said of her offer, "Sometimes, I feel like my close friends, family and significant other could see my potential more than I could see it myself."
To stand out among a pool of applicants who hail from top graduate programs in the country, Beattie said her application mentioned both her accomplishments and challenges.
"I had to highlight my personal challenge, which was coming from a predominantly Hispanic community," she said.
As a TAMIU adjunct instructor, Beattie taught national and state government to 400 students at TAMIU this Spring semester, and has been active in the University community over the years.
In 2010, she traveled to Singapore with a group of faculty members and students for a "Sociology of Science" survey funded by the National Science Foundation Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP). The group included TAMIU political science, sociology and biology students and explored the cultural and geographical differences in transmission of tacit skills in East Asian Graduate Science Programs.
She was also a member of TAMIU's inaugural class of six University students chosen to take part in the Center for Public Leadership, John F. Kennedy School of Government Latino Leadership Initiative (LLI) at Harvard University. The week-long program featured classes on decision-making, negotiation and public narrative, taught by leading professors from Harvard, Georgetown and Stanford. Other sessions helped LLI students develop self awareness and knowledge about their leadership strengths and weaknesses.
Beattie, the first in her family to pursue a doctoral degree, said TAMIU opened new avenues of opportunities for her.
"If TAMIU didn't empower me, I wouldn't be here," she said.
Beattie thanked TAMIU President Dr. Ray Keck for opening the avenue for TAMIU students to be able to participate in programs such as the LLI at Harvard. She also thanked Dr. Mark Menaldo, TAMIU assistant professor of political science, for teaching her how to become a teacher.
"He is a very charismatic and spontaneous professor," she said of Dr. Menaldo, "He is interactive in class and it is based on his model that I now teach."
In addition, Beattie thanked Dr. Marcus Ynalvez, TAMIU assistant professor of sociology, for equipping her with a specific set of academic skills that made her a competitive applicant.
Beattie, who said she looks forward to becoming a researcher for an international organization upon culmination of her doctoral studies, said her future plans changed over the course of her undergraduate study.
"When I started out at TAMIU I believed strongly that I wanted to be a lawyer," she said, "I didn't know how many more opportunities were out there. By traveling and studying, I realized that there are other jobs that are unique to my personality."
She offered advice to students not yet decided on their future career path.
"I would advise them to spend time early on to try to figure out who they are so they can figure out what kind of profession fits them," she said.

ADCL: Abstract Data and Communication Library
ADCL is an application level communication library aiming at providing the highest possible performance for application level communication patterns, such as the n-D neighhorhood communication, within a given execution environment. The library provides for each communication pattern a large number of implementations and incorporates a runtime selection logic in order to choose the implementation leading to the highest performance of the application on the current platform. Two different runtime selection algorithms are currently available within ADCL: the library can either apply a brute force search strategy which tests all available implementations of a given communication pattern; alternatively, a heuristic relying on attributes characterizing an implementation has been developed in order to speed up the runtime decision procedure.
The ADCL API offers high level interfaces of application level collective operations. The high level interfaces are required in order to be able to switch within the library the implementation of the according collective operation without modifying the application itself. Thus, ADCL complements functionality available within MPI.
