A sonnet I wrote for my boyfriend for our two-month anniversary. It's been a while since I've written one of these, so hopefully this makes some sense and follows the form.
There is a howl that resonates the air –
not deep and prideful – that is not my wolf.
A friendly call belongs to him I care
about – the gentle soul that is your wealth.
We nuzzle muzzles – locking lips as we
exchange our breaths. Alone, his presence soothes
me – pulsing heartbeats calm the torrent sea
of my disquiet mind – it is defused.
Our new, unnatural courtship stuck for two
endearing, lovely months – and both of us
are new to this – a concept we pursued
despite us keeping mateship in a hush.
But this wolf cares for his peculiar pack –
no matter what, he keeps us all intact.

Let the memory of Larry be with us forever
- 62 years old
- Born on July 16, 1948 .
- Passed away on May 1, 2011 .
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Larry Talbott Sr 62 years old , born on July 16, 1948 and passed away on May 1, 2011. We will remember him forever.
Well another year has passed and it seems as if Michelle and I are the only two that know about this Memorial and I'm not talking about my sister Deb, she does not do computers but the rest of your family does so I don't understand how Michelle and I are the only two they know how to use this site. I miss you Larry. I will have my gallbladder surgery as soon as possible and I hope to live through it. My own brother did not remember my birthday so I will tell him happy birthday on or about August 8th. I think the last person that should send you a belated birthday notice is your brother

Mulligan's Bay, "Chapleau's beautiful summer resort" was the scene of "most enjoyable" Surprise Party on Wednesday August 26, 1931, to honour Mr. and Mrs. Richard Brownlee, according to the Chapleau Post.
The occasion was an "At Home" to all the campers at Mulligan's Bay hosted by Mrs. Merrick and sons Herb and George, to honour Mr. and Mrs. Brownlee, who had decided t o sell their summer home on Brownlee Island.
The Chapleau Post reported that it was being sold to Mr. and Mrs. William Card "that they might enjoy to the full, with their family, the beauty, grandeur and refreshing vigour that only such a life can give." It became known as Card Island.
The Brownlees seemed to be the first to open and the last to close their cottage and all were welcome on their island, the report said.
The party was held at the Merrick's "Log Cabin" which is still in their family and used yearly by Merrick Goldstein. Growing up in Chapleau, I spent wonderful times at the Log Cabin with the Goldstein family.
Mrs. Merrick had invited Mr. and Mrs. Brownlee for tea that day and "not a whisper" was heard until the "Log Cabin" was set up for the party, and the guests started to arrive.
A little later, lanterns were lighted among the trees and "with the moon peeping out of the clouds made a charming background for the happy faces that were to visit and enjoy a few hours together".
The orchestra was Alf Comte and his son along with Herb Lucas . (Mr. Comte took over Mr. Brownlee's barber shop when he retired in 1931, the same year he sold the island. Mr. Lucas worked in it for many years.)
The guests "tripped the light fantastic" until the wee small hours" at which time D.O. Payette "called the company to order" and a presentation was made to Mr. and Mrs. Brownlee. J.B. Dexter read a letter to them.
It read in part: " It was with great surprise and sincere regret that we, the campers of Mulligan's Bay and surrounding district heard that you had disposed of your beautiful island and summer home. It is hard to realize that you are not to remain members of our little community for you are the pioneer campers in this neighbourhood and have always been an inspiration to others who have followed your example."
The letter noted that at one time the Brownlee yacht was the only gasoline powered boat, and "you sure were kind-hearted and generous in taking people... down the lake or to the island for a picnic."
They also put out flags and markers in the bay . lights on the island and a gramophone with a very loud speaker played music "the source of much pleasure to your neighbours..."
"To you then as pioneers, is the credit due for the pleasure we enjoy at our summer homes.." A gift was then presented to them. The letter was signed by Mr. Payette and Mr. Dexter on behalf of all the campers.
Mr. Brownlee arrived in Chapleau on February 4, 1886, and two days later, established a barber shop in a tent on the site where the Lady Minto Hospital would be located in 1914, at the corner of Elm and Queen Streets.
Within a short time, he had relocated to Birch Street, in a lean-to attached to the T.A. Austin store. Later he bought the Brownlee Block.
In 1887, he married and he brought his wife Ellen to Chapleau. She was one of the few women there at the time. Both were 19. Mrs. Brownlee died in 1936, and in 1938 he married Marie Jeanne Leclerc.
Richard Brownlee died at age 83 on August 8, 1951, and his funeral, conducted by Rev. E Roy Haddon, was held at St. John's Anglican Church.
My most sincere thanks to Margaret Rose (Payette) and Bobby Fortin, for lending me the Richard Brownlee papers. It was also great to have a visit with you when I was home. My email is email@example.com

As we sit in Brunswick I'm trying to figure out a way to get Facebook posts posted without wifi. We have the Iridium Go hotspot which sends texts and emails without much trouble at all. We were able to post to Facebook, but the stoops at FB removed the email posting feature. Iridium said they are working on a fix but I jumped ahead and figured one out.
Twitter. Yes, I now tweet. When I post a tweet it automatically goes to facebook. I have no other reason to be on twitter other than to do a facebook post from afar. So, no I will not be following the likes of The Donald or Kim Kardashian to read what or who they had for breakfast. I will have a widget on the Blog that shows my tweets. If you don't have Facebook you can still see no more than 140 characters of wisdom from me just by looking at the blog. Things like, "These waves are high. I think I'm gonna hurl", or "Our last 4 slices of bread and I burned the grilled cheese". You might also like, "There's a guy next to us with an actual Peg Leg!", or "They're French Canadian and they're all in Bikinis, and waving me over!", but more likely, "Deb took away my binoculars".
So, we most likely have things covered on the communication front. We have an unlocked phone with no contract. We have sat wifi from which we can make calls, text, email, tweet and post to Facebook and the blog. We get grib files through email and view them with Pocket Grib or Sail Grib. Chris Parker emails us every night and we can get text weather reports. We also have SOS features on three separate sat devices.
We appear good to go unless the USA pisses someone off enough to have them wipe out our satellites, and if that happens there will be worse things to worry about.
I didn't mention SSB because well, we don't have it. The cost of getting outfitted and learning to use it was prohibitive. There is a need for it though and I'm glad other cruisers have it. At one point last season my daughter was trying to get a hold of us while we were in the Exumas. She posted to Facebook and our friends on Magnolia saw this and used the SSB cruisers net to find us and get a message to us. We had a cruiser dinghy over and tell us that Nicole needed to talk to us. This was pretty awesome. Nicole tried to reach us on the sat but we were only turning the thing on in the evenings. With the install of an external antenna this will change.
That's all I have as I try to get back into the world of blogging.
Have a wonderful day.

News Brief: D-Town Native "Saunters" For Office
Downingtown, Pa. native Timothy Sadler yesterday announced that he will saunter for a position on the city council in Asheville, N.C.. He stands on a platform emphasizing boosting the local economy, providing healthier options for school meal programs, and improved recycling. Sadler's eschewing of the rat-race mentality so inherent in politics is summed up in his campaign motto, "politics as unusual." The political attitude adjustment manifest in the choice to saunter, as opposed to running, is to the best of this writer's knowledge, unprecedented.

Nosey Parker, Bushnell! "Five Rebels" features extracts from five new Puffin novels. I think the idea is the readership vote for their favourite. Alex and Simon Scarrow both have books in the "Rebels" booklet.

Zoo Portraits images are based on the animal kingdom and fashion. Through irony and humanization, they show us a unique universe where animals become almost humans. Combining photography, illustration and collage, the project's portraits are the main base for everything: the most important pillar for the development of new products, art and proposals.
Zoo Portraits is a brand name that was born in 2013 based on a creative project developed by Yago Partal, photographer and producer living in Barcelona city. Influenced by the animal kingdom, cartoons and fashion since he was a child, he found his voice in a game we all like to play: the humanization of animals. The project quickly went viral online and reached the world's press, which led to several license offers and its later consolidation as a brand.


text: Ok, without giving much detail, because I think this has potential to generate some serious revenue, I am developing a program that will put together a website on the fly based on results from a specialized search engine, then charging a membership fee for the site. This search engine is not real keen on this idea, of course, but lets shelf that conversation for another day. Thats the background, and should be enough info to answer the question. So, what I need is a perl script that can send a request out via a multitude of proxies. I can write my own if I have to, but something that is canned would be ideal. And free. When I get this monster built, I will probably be looking for affiliates from the BH community to spread the word, since this is a pure, 100% BH effort. Just to whet the appetite, this this script will have multiple potential income streams, including the upfront subscription fee. My only decision is do I want to sell the script, or run it myself. Hummm....have to think about that one!

As winter settles in, we spend much more time indoors. Being confined indoors means bad news if there are any triggers for allergies or asthma inside the home. Not to mention the fireplace smells, outdoor animals that are spending more time indoors because of the cold and children that are home inside more often. If your house is on the market or your you just want a clean home, follow some of these tips.
- Diffuser with essential oils – A few drops of your favorite smell can do your house wonders. It creates a light mist with fragrant throughout your home.
- Lemons & Oranges – If the garbage disposal is still giving off the smell of last night's dinner, run some lemon or orange peels through it to eliminate the odor.
- Lamp double duty – Put a dab of vanilla extract on light bulbs when the lights are off. Once the lights are turned on, the bulb will heat up the extract and emit a delicious smell.
- Potted plants aren't just for looks – they're also natural air purifiers. Some of the best are different kinds of palm trees, orchids and peace lilies.
- Pet Smells – If you love your cat but don't love litter box odor, mix tea leaves with the litter. It will help to neutralize the smell. Odors from pets can be from pet stains in carpet/pad or furnishings, or it can be from wet fur of animals. Try getting your carpets steam cleaned on a regular basis and get pets house trained to keep carpets smelling fresh. Consider using a carpet powder or light baby powder on carpet and vacuum.
- Simmer Pot Recipe – For a long-lasting wonderful aroma that permeates your entire home, try a simmer pot recipe. Use this around the winter holidays to create a warm, homey ambiance.
- Peel from 1 lemon
Peel from 1 orange
2 bay leaves
3 cinnamon sticks
2 Tablespoons whole cloves
Add all these items to a medium pot or a small crock-pot. Add water to fill about halfway. Turn the burner on to low and let this simmer all day. If using a crock pot, set on low and let it freshen the air.
- Peel from 1 lemon
- Keep it Clean – With everyone spending more time inside the house, there is more of a chance with things such as pollen, dander, and dust mites to thrive. With more coughing and sneezing and less window opening, the air quality inside your home can be more dangerous than the air quality outside. Make certain to keep your home clean with regular dusting and mopping. If you do not have a fan in your bathroom to eliminate moisture that can cause mold to grow, perhaps now is a good time to invest in one.
- Don't just sweep or mop – Using a vacuum that has good filtration and a HEPA filter is best. Of course, keeping the dust out can begin at the door. Install a dust walk-off system (grills, grates or mats that reduce the amount of dirt and dust that come into the home) and take your shoes off when entering. Having hard flooring is much better than carpet. Dust is harder to remove from carpet, and the older the carpeting is, the more difficult it is to clean. If you are going to clean your carpet, steam cleaning is better than chemical cleaners or shampooing.

For some reason it's like Yuyu Hakusho's Shinobu Sensui arc (Urahara ordered a group to intimidate Ichigo, etc. Another problem that involves the merging of the town and some other realm), then Ichigo will die, later on turn into the most powerful shinigami ever, then fights the final boss.
I want Ichigo's two little sisters and the young spirit girl that resides in Urahara's shop become the main characters of this series. Let it become Nanoha-like.

I just wonder if it's okay from a moral standpoint. They maybe hollows but Shinigami can purify them and send them to Soul Society. Ishida just outright kills them. Seems a bit morally ambiguous to me. The thought of even one hollow being killed that way makes me worried. I can understand Soul Society not caring because of Kubo's recent idiot attemtps at making Soul Society randomly do dickish things for no reason just to make them appear grey. But Ichigo doesn't even bat an eyelid. It's like we're not supposed to care.

Oh god, I feel like Bleach is being Hollywoodized,
The young hero heads on a epic journey to recover his identity of heroism >.>
Well, not a complete disappointment like I expected. The opening comedy was refreshing.
Now, just to backtrack a bit, there's a question I haven't had answered in quite a bit. Is the changing of design on Ichigo's Hollow mask during the Deicide arc ever explained? I know it was likely the cause of his transformation, but I don't think they ever discussed the topic in detail. Like if it gives him more power, takes more energy etc etc.
Meh, it probably wasn't, we know Bleach and it's plot holes.

Although considering the history of quincy and the SS treason that got them killed, exterminating the last one should be one of their top priorities, with Aizen gone.

Just to make things clear, what Ichigo said was "Inoue and Chad told the others about my shinigami powers while I was asleep". With others, I presume he means Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro, and any other classmate that matters.
I for one didn't like this chapter. It's like some others said, it looks a lot like chapter 1. And it also feels like we're back at the beginning of the manga without having made any progress at all. The only thing that's changed since the start of Bleach is that Ichigo no longer has any reiatsu, but he does have the skills of a bodybuilder and the speed of a cat.
Gin is dead, we still have no idea how Isshin got his Shinigami powers, what rank he was, and if even still has his shinigami powers, we also don't know how Kisuke knows him and how Ryuuken relates to all this. Next, Aizen said a while back he's known about Ichigo since he was born, and that all his battles were in the palm of his hand, we still don't know what that means.
And finally, Aizen disappears sentenced in an underground prison, because he is apparently immortal. So when did he get this immortality? Did he make a wish with the Dragonballs? Am I supposed to accept that one of the most powerful shinigami to have ever lived, who is even immortal, who almost comletely crushed the 13 Squads, is going to be locked away into some underground prison with no possibility of escape?
I for one hope we haven't seen the last of Aizen, and I don't mean his retarded butterfly or hollow form, I mean his clever manipulative provoking personality that we have grown to love over the Soul Society and Arrancar arcs.
This chapter was about as interesting as Naruto fillers

I just figured something the netire Bleach series is like Yu Yu Hakusho
Ichigo- Yusuke
Hueco mundo which is translated meanning "Hollow World - Demon World
Hollows- Demons
This arc is when Ichigo meets the new substitute shinigami around town who is with a little team of powerful foes who Ichigo will have to fight
After ichigo defeats them his next battle will be when he returns to Hueco Mundo for the final battle

No but honestly Bleach is full of unanswered questions and a load of BS mixed with crack and dipped in potential.
Along with all the points you made, the three Hollows that sent Grand Fisher after Ichigo are still unknown. How in God's name he escaped death and took a incredibly new powerful form in unknown. Why his Hollow mask design changing had a greater burden on him, is unknown. What Aizen meant when he said Ichigo was Half Human half-(Hollow most likely) is unknown. Why Orihime didn't just restore the Captain Commander's arm is unknown. What happened to Grimmjow really, is unknown. And of course, where the new Central 46 came from, is unknown.
I wonder what still hooks me...

This is essentially Kubo retconning the entire manga, It's basically back to square one with everything, Ichigo's powers, Villains.
This might be the most lazy ass way to continue a manga, Most of the previous plot is deemed irrelevant, And Kubo can write his way anywhere he wants now.
I can already see 200 hundred chapters in the future where the 'dead' hollows return to 'save' Ichigo again. This is so sad.

In Boolean logic, a formula is in conjunctive normal form (CNF) if it is a conjunction of clauses, where a clause is a disjunction of literals, where a literal and its complement cannot appear in the same clause.[citation needed] As a normal form, it is useful in automated theorem proving. It is similar to the canonical product of sums form used in circuit theory.
All conjunctions of literals and all disjunctions of literals are in CNF, as they can be seen as conjunctions of one-literal clauses and conjunctions of a single clause, respectively. As in the disjunctive normal form (DNF), the only propositional connectives a formula in CNF can contain are and, or, and not. The not operator can only be used as part of a literal, which means that it can only precede a propositional variable.
All of the following formulas are in CNF:
The last formula is in CNF because it can be seen as the conjunction of the two single-literal clauses A and B. Incidentally, this formula is also in disjunctive normal form. The following formulae are not in CNF:
The above three formulae are respectively equivalent to the following three formulas that are in CNF:
Every propositional formula can be converted into an equivalent formula that is in CNF. This transformation is based on rules about logical equivalences: the double negative law, De Morgan's laws, and the distributive law.
Since all logical formulae can be converted into an equivalent formula in conjunctive normal form, proofs are often based on the assumption that all formulae are CNF. However, in some cases this conversion to CNF can lead to an exponential explosion of the formula. For example, translating the following non-CNF formula into CNF produces a formula with 2n clauses:

Co-Founder & CEO, Docstoc (Acquired by Intuit)
From Student to Entrepreneurial Success Story
This is the story of starting Docstoc in my last year of law school at Pepperdine University. Docstoc is the premiere online destination to start and grow small businesses. It consists of an electronic document repository and online store aimed at providing professional, financial, and legal documents for the business community, as well as other resources including expert videos and productivity tools. Our vision is to be the ultimate destination and resource site for small businesses. Creating it was my first attempt to build a web application. I wasn't technical, and I had never done anything like that before. I went into it thinking that at some point I would need to bring in additional financing.
The key part of it succeeding was just that I made a committed decision to pursue it before there was external validation that I was going to be able to figure it all out. I found that if you have big enough Why, you figure out the What and the How. Over the period of about a year after we started working on it and took it from just an idea to a live website, we raised a couple hundred thousand dollars in angel investment, and people started using it, and we were off to the races.

Title: Inexact Newton Methods, Newton-Krylov Methods, and Extensions for Large-Scale Underdetermined Systems
Author: Homer F. Walker, Professor Mathematical Sciences Department Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Department of Energy Program Manager Applied Mathematics Research
Inexact Newton methods provide a natural framework for implementing Newton's method when an iterative linear algebra method is used to solve approximately the linear subproblems that characterize Newton steps. When the linear algebra method is a Krylov subspace method, the resulting inexact Newton method is known as a Newton-Krylov method. This talk will begin with a brief introduction to inexact Newton and Newton-Krylov methods, outlining their local and global convergence properties, efficient implementation, and performance on several benchmark CFD problems. Following this, I will discuss extensions of these methods suitable for large-scale nonlinear systems that are underdetermined, i.e., have more unknowns than equations, and report on numerical experiments with a Newton-GMRES implementation applied to solving parameter-dependent systems and to determining periodic solutions of time-dependent problems. This work is joint with John Shadid and Roger Pawlowski, Sandia National Laboratories, and with Joseph Simonis, the Boeing Company.

The Cool Kids Play on Twitter, but the Masses Play on Facebook
I have a confession to make: I prefer Facebook to Twitter. There, I said it.
A couple of days back, amidst the stream of dross that has invaded my Facebook newsfeed as everyone and his dog jumps on the Facebook Questions bandwagon and gives it a test drive, there were a few people asking 'do you prefer Facebook or Twitter?'. It shouldn't come as a great surprise that Facebook was leading all of these polls. But what I did find interesting was that, of my friends, virtually all of them had selected the 'Twitter' option.
Obviously that says something about many of the people I'm now friends with on Facebook; they're social comms pros. And social comms people LOVE Twitter. Admitting you prefer Facebook over Twitter is the social media equivalent of preferring Coldplay over Elbow. One's music for the masses, while the other's cool and grungy. But you know what, I like Coldplay. I liked them way back before Parachutes was even released, and I like them now. I like Elbow too, but I prefer Coldplay. I suspect however, that among the social media fraternity, Elbow's the band of choice in that scenario. I was never cool and I never will be.
Anyway, I digress. Two things have come to light this week that have made me think about this situation. First, eConsultancy reported a study by Yahoo Research which suggested that 50% of all content consumed on Twitter is generated by just 0.05% of users; a paltry 20,000 people. So if you ever get the feeling on Twitter that you bump into the same people all of the time no matter who you follow, that's probably why. The report also suggests that on Twitter we're an anti-social bunch; organising ourselves into groups of bloggers, celebrities or whatever; Twitter is fragmented.
Second, Radian6 made an announcement this week that saw #Radian6 trend worldwide. As my pal Adam Vincenzini succinctly pointed out, this "doesn't do much for the myth that non-media folk use Twitter" and, as Mazher Abidi followed up: "Social media people love Twitter more, but consumers - people you want to reach - exist on Facebook more. Gotta respect that".
So if I had to choose just one social network tomorrow, why would it be Facebook? On Twitter I've connected with far, far more people, some brilliant with whom I now have solid relationships. And that wouldn't have happened on Facebook. But if I get to know someone well, I try and transfer that relationship across (if they'll have me as a friend!). I feel that I get to know someone better through the more open, diverse and expansive updates of Facebook than through tweets, even if they're far less frequent. I see a more personable side to them, whether that's through the type of content they share or the mere fact that I can actually SEE them in the photos they post. On Twitter, I can't help but feel that the real self is hidden behind 140 character text updates.
I also love the fact that, on Facebook, I can seamlessly blend my work and personal lives. I can go from commenting on a blog post immediately to posting an update about my daughter to a completely different audience by tailoring who sees what. As an example of this 'switching' behaviour, only this week one of my Facebook friends switched from posting pictures of his new flat to a link to a corporate website in a heartbeat. One minute I'm looking at his new flat and he's viewing a video of my daughter, the next we're interacting with one another on a professional level. In the same way I can switch in seconds from conversing with someone I met and know on a more professional level to someone I've known for years who doesn't even care what I do for a living. That's a power that Facebook has which, arguably at least, Twitter doesn't (at least to the same level). Facebook is far less fragmented and far less exclusive. There's no in-crowd.
On the subject of blog posts, yet another reason I prefer Facebook is that by following a blog or blog writer's Facebook page/profile, I can keep track of blog posts in a more engaging way than by either RSS or Twitter. I can get a better taste of a blog post from the short summary that Facebook presents me with than a title and bit.ly link. I can even engage with the writer on Facebook rather than the blog itself, should I wish. Yes, I can do that on Twitter, but Facebook has less limitations.
And finally, from a marketing perspective, Facebook offers far more opportunities. Far more people use Facebook, and they use if for different reasons. We can be more creative, more visual and more engaging on Facebook than we will ever be able to be on Twitter. Twitter for meeting people in your field; great. But for more personal relationships and greater opportunities, it has to be Facebook.
But what's your opinion? Tick the relevant box (ironically a Twitter app) and leave a comment below to tell me why. Please.
As for Coldplay or Elbow, maybe I'll ask my friends using Facebook Questions? Oh, and if you'd like to connect on Facebook, I'm here.

Conversion optimisation is an important and fruitful part of digital marketing. It is an area of digital marketing that I am passionate about as it brings forth the convergence of science, art, data and psychology.
One of the best ways to start CRO on your site is to start studying what your competitor's are doing, identify what could be working for them and apply it for your own site. You could start by studying your competitor's HTML output to see if they are using any A/B testing tools such as Visual Website Optimizer, Google Experiments, Optimizely etc.
Once you have established that your competitor is carrying out A/B tests, you then need to keep an eye on their site or specific landing pages to capture their various tests. This process enables you to learn about their tests and at some point you will be able to identify their winners – you can then use elements of their "winner" variation and apply them within your landing pages.
KISSMetrics A/B Tests
Below are three different KISSMetrics variations that we identified.
Variation 1
Notice how KISSMetrics is using a simple message, a person's image and a simple call to action to persuade users to sign up. The main thing about this test is the fact that KISSMetrics is enabling users to sign up with their Google Account which means that the sign up process looks easy and a click of a button away.
Variation 2
The second variation uses a simple form and persuasive messaging. The key thing about this variation is the compact form and the credit card messaging. Effectively, KISSMetrics is indicating how simple it is to sign up and that users don't need to enter credit card details and they can cancel anytime. This type of approach brings about a sense of simplicity and trust in users' minds.
Variation 3
The third variation is slightly complicated but it contains further messaging that highlights KISSMetric's benefits. In this variation KISSMetrics is putting a lot of emphasis on the benefits of their product. Note that they are not emphasizing the features of their product but are shouting about the benefits – this is crucial. Furthermore, the compact form using a contrasted background in the sidebar stands out.
So here is an interesting question. If you are/were running a SaaS business similar to KISSMetrics, which one of the above variations would you use in your tests? And more importantly, which one do you think should/would win?

If you don't remember, cell phone unlocking was made illegal not too long ago. You had to do it through your carrier, and as you can imagine, the carrier isn't always happy to unlock your device. If you're still in a contract, your phone is staying locked to your carrier. This understandably pissed off a lot of people.
There was a public outrage, with petitions on many sites reaching hundreds of thousands of signatures. This prompted the government to act, and surprisingly, we got our way. It is now completely legal to unlock your cell phone, so you won't have to go begging your carrier to do it for you. This gives us the freedom to actually use the devices we purchased in the way we want.
A lot of people these days doubt the power of regular folks standing up for what they believe in. Sure, this isn't the best example of people bringing change, but it is still a pretty decent one. President Obama will be signing this bill today, so enjoy your regained freedom!

Quad/Graphics featured in book that highlights fearless companies
Tuesday, February 03, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyFebruary 2, 2004 -- We always knew we did things a little differently here at Quad/Graphics. Now our unconventional ways appear in a new book by bestselling authors Kevin and Jackie Freiberg: GUTS! Companies That Blow the Doors Off Business-as-Usual. The authors spent five years researching U.S. companies that buck traditional management styles and forge their own path — with extraordinary success. Quad caught their attention, says Jackie Freiberg, because "it's a gutsy company with the creativity and chutzpah to think innovatively and take a road less traveled. Like all gutsy companies, Quad/Graphics is absolutely unconventional when it comes to creating a great place to work and do business." What makes a company gutsy? And why does it matter? Gutsy Companies Poke A Finger in the Eye of "Business as Usual" Company Founder Harry V. Quadracci and the other founders of Quad/Graphics started with a shoestring operation and a radical vision: egalitarianism. They didn't view their employees as just another company asset, like the machinery on the shop floor. They respected their employees as individual people with unique talents and skills, eager to learn more, contribute more and improve their lives. Our founders believed that no one is more important than anyone else. Every person's contribution is vital for the company's success. This core value is most visible in the uniforms we wear, regardless if we work in production or administration. Quad/Graphics believes in hiring the right people, empowering them through education and training, trusting them to do their best and then getting out of their way so they can do their job. "It's a bet that the more you delegate power, the better employees perform," the authors explain. "That takes guts, and Quad/Graphics fully trusts its people to rise to the occasion." Gutsy Companies Create A Sense of Ownership Another key element of gutsy companies, the authors discovered, is that all employees have a sense of ownership. This philosophy is engrained in our culture. Quad/Graphics was founded on the principle that the company should be by and for the people. Employees are literally owners of the company through profit sharing. But ownership is also at attitude, the book stresses. It's the understanding that every employee plays an important role in the company's success, and the recognition that valuable input might come from anyone, at any level of the company. Amazing things happen when employees think like owners. They go above and beyond their job descriptions, take risks and find solutions. The following excerpt from GUTS! illustrates this principle: "Part of Quadracci's walking-away agenda was to keep the management structure as flat as possible and to be personally accessible to everyone — but only in those rare circumstances when his people needed his input … In one characteristic move, he financed an expansion of the trucking fleet by inducing his drivers to find loads for their return trips. Handing them the keys to their trucks, he announced that they were all now owners in the corporation's new division, Duplainville Transport. How they made the rigs profitable on return trips was up to them. When the drivers asked Quadracci how to do that, he answered 'I don't know anything about driving an 18-wheeler.' To their own amazement, the drivers found loads and made their new division work." Gutsy Companies Are Defined by Their Culture Gutsy companies are as renowned for their culture as they are for their products or services. Quad/Graphics is recognized worldwide for our can-do attitude, our dedication to our people, our focus on innovation and technology, our passion for protecting the environment, and our commitment to the community. This is who we are. This is how we do business. And this is what sets us apart from the competition. "We spent a lot of time getting to know the people of Quad/Graphics, and everyone we met was willing to do whatever it takes to live these values out loud," says Jackie Freiberg. "Quad has built a culture that explodes with passion, productivity — and record profits." Companies with this kind of culture, the authors found, usually don't have satisfied employees. And that's just fine, because gutsy companies don't settle for merely "satisfied." What Quad and other gutsy companies inspire are employees — and customers — who are wildly enthusiastic about the company; people who give it their all, and inspire others to do the same. Gutsy Companies Hire Great People A gutsy company hires people not just for their expertise but for the values and passion they bring to the company. Aptitude can be learned. Attitude can't. "What gutsy leaders know is that your competitors can copy your products, improve on your processes, undercut your prices, perhaps even match your quality. What they can't replicate are the attitudes of your people," GUTS! reveals. It's no accident that Quad/Graphics is so often recognized for the intense loyalty between the company and its people. Like other gutsy companies, Quad/Graphics hires great people, believes in them and nurtures their talents. "We always say that Quad is a place where you can be more than you ever thought you could be," says Sue Barrett, Sussex Quad/Education manager. "No matter how large we get, this is what defines us." Harry Quadracci believed so strongly in education, the GUTS! authors learned, that he often taught the company's Introduction to Printing classes himself. At Quad, employees have countless opportunities to further their education, training and personal development. Our on-site medical clinics, child care centers, fitness centers and abundant recreational opportunities help our employees and their families live healthier, happier lives. Quad/Graphics is deeply committed to making our people's lives better, both on and off the job. Gutsy Companies Lead With Love No, the authors don't mean romance at the water cooler. They're talking about respect and trust. Companies that lead with love believe that people matter and help them to be successful. In turn, their workforces are motivated by caring, rather than driven by fear. "Employees working at companies that care about them are far more than satisfied — they are engaged, loyal and fully committed to the organization," the Freibergs observe. This philosophy is a central part of the Quad/Graphics culture. From Management University and Think Smalls to impromptu backyard cookouts and picnics under the trees, the company works hard to break down barriers and build close personal relationships. "When you know the person behind the colleague or customer, you're more motivated to go out of your way for them," Jackie Freiberg explains. Gutsy Companies Make Business Heroic At Quad/Graphics, we're about more than putting ink on paper. Our driving motivation is taking care, making the world a better place. We do this by linking people around the globe through the printed word, by creating opportunities for our people to excel, by giving back to the communities in which we live and work and play, and by being careful stewards of the environment. When what we do is so meaningful, it's no longer just a job; it's our life's mission. Gutsy Companies Inspire Fun There are quite a few photographs of Harry Quadracci in GUTS! They all exemplify his legacy of grand good fun. At Quad/Graphics, we are famous for our willingness to share laughs and even look downright silly together. There is a method to this madness. "Once you get up and make an ass of yourself in front of thousands of people, what else is left?" Harry often said of the irreverent Management Revue. Fun breaks down barriers, bonds people and frees them to think creatively and take risks, the Freibergs believe. And, of course, having fun makes coming to work a whole lot more enjoyable. "Organizations such as Quad/Graphics, which must meet critical deadlines, know how to take their business seriously," the authors say. "But fun is a core strategy that doesn't interfere with seriousness. In fact, it complements it, which gives these organizations a distinct advantage over competitors. Fun is a gift to your people and your customers." A Company With GUTS … And Heart During the months the authors researched Quad/Graphics, they uncovered gutsy leadership from the administrative offices to the loading docks. More than 12,000 people are fully engaged in applying their energy, creativity and intelligence to benefit the company — their company. "Quad/Graphics truly exemplifies a company with GUTS!" says Jackie Freiberg. "Quad has created a place where impassioned people bring their heart, mind and spirit to work every day. They know they are part of something special." Gutsy Companies: Are pioneers, not followers Have a record of extraordinary business results Have vision, and the ability to make it a reality Are dedicated to inspiring their people to higher levels of engagement, performance and loyalty Care, mentor, challenge, lead and even love Lead by example, living and imparting the qualities they value

Er Wait Times
Daniel Wright
July 25 2007
Emergency Room Wait Times
A woman walks into Los Angeles County hospital with a complaint of abdominal pain. After being checked in, hospital staff sees that she has recently been there three other times for the same complaint. She is seated in the waiting room. She vomits blood and collapses on the floor; her family urgently contacts staff informing them of her problem. They ignore the complaint. The family becomes so panicked they call 911 from a payphone near the entrance, only to find that they too ignore the complaint, telling them that there is nothing that they can do. A bystander in the waiting room sees the distress and the blood on the floor, he too calls 911, this time the emergency dispatcher chastises the caller and tells him "This line is for emergency purposes only " For 45 minutes this woman lays on the floor vomiting blood while hospital staff stands by and housekeeping mops the floor around her. She died soon after. (Ornstien) This is just one of many incidents to illustrate the need for the reduction of waiting time in emergency rooms across the nation. Although this is an isolated incident that shows gross negligence, similar events that are not as negligent, but just as irritating for patients, happen every day. The "wait" in the emergency room Wright p.2
is defined as the time between initial triage and being seen by the doctor. The national average waiting time in an emergency room has increased 18 minutes since 2006 despite efforts to reduce the wait. (Press Ganey) The national average this year is 222 minutes; this is 3 hours and 42 minutes. In Utah, however the wait is slightly longer at 4 hours and 5 minutes. As an employee in a very busy emergency room, I can see both sides of the argument. Hospital staff is over worked and understaffed leaving a large liability and gap in patient care. Patients complain that they are ignored and abandoned. Nurses complain they can't take care of so...

Outlook & Process
Creating and building a sustainable business is one of the most difficult things that you will ever do. From the high risk of failure, to the rollercoaster of emotions, all the way to being the fighter that extinguishes internal fires, I fully understand how much work it takes and how each detail is so crucial to achieving success. However, I also believe that building a business is one of the greatest things someone can ever do. At QCC, I focus on the details so that you're able to build sustainable habits and systems.
With every client, I follow a three step process:
- Measure and Examine - the existing landscape, environments, roadblocks, and issues
- Define and Strategize - understand what success looks like, develop paths through roadblocks, and establish long-term partnerships for growth
- Test & Implement - execute on strategy, build repeatable systems, and adjust the course based on priorities / goals
At the first sight of complexity, I'm ready to dig in, roll up the sleeves, and be by your side every step of the way - building on the age old phrase "when the going gets tough, the tough get going".

According to this document the folks over at SprintFeed got their hands on (Sure looks like the ol' Sprint Playbook), Nexus S 4G users should expect an update to start rolling out July 11. The update includes a couple fixes from Google, namely enabling a secure setting for NFC and TTY support (ASAP!), but the stuff most are looking for seems to be baked in as well -- fixes to Wifi and 4G data signal strength and changes to the PRL download mechanism and configuration.
The OTA should roll out over a four-day period starting July 11, and all devices should have received the OTA by July 14. Of course the manual download location will probably get leaked soon after the roll out begins, and if so we'll let you know.

Glitterati: Nervous System
I love the science and complexity of Nervous System's art works. Using their knowledge of algorithmic and physical tools, creative duo Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg created a collection of modern and innovative adornments that goes beyond classic jewelry.
Neck pieces, bracelets, and earrings are inspired from natural phenomena such as coral aggregations and interference patterns — say what?! OK, so it might be a too complex for the scientifically impaired but the collection is original and awesome. Even better, for those who are scientifically inclined, Nervous System allows you to design your own jewelry and they will make it for you — Fab!

James Hillman Quotes About SoulQuotes about: Soul
Aging is no accident. It is necessary to the human
condition, intended by the soul. We become more characteristic of who we are simply by lasting into later years; the older we become, the more our true natures emerge. Thus the final years have a very important purpose: the fulfillment and confirmation of one's character.
How can we know ourselves by ourselves? . . . Soul needs intimate connection, not only to individuate, but simply to live. For this we need relationships of the profoundest kind through which we can realize ourselves, where self-revelation is possible, where interest in and love for soul is paramount.
'Mediocre' tends to mean 'undistinguished', while snobs enjoy their distinguishing hallmarks of style - how they wear clothes, use words, where they go and gather and gossip. ...Whatever the circumstances the genius has put you into, the fact of individuality defends the soul against all class-action claims. No soul is mediocre, whatever your personal taste for conventionality, whatever your personal record of middling achievements.
It helps to regard soul as an active intelligence, forming and plotting each person's fate. Translators use "plot" to render the ancient Greek word mythos in English. The plots that entangle our souls and draw forth our characters are the great myths. That is why we need a sense of myth and knowledge of different myths to gain insight into our epic struggles, our misalliances, and our tragedies. Myths show the imaginative structures inside our messes, and our human characters can locate themselves against the background of the characters of myth.
Ecology movements, futurism, feminism, urbanism, protest and disarmament, personal individuation cannot alone save the world from the catastrophe inherent in our very idea of the world. They require a cosmological vision that saves the phenomenon 'world' itself, a move in soul that goes beyond measures of expediency to the archetypal source of our world's continuing peril: the fateful neglect, the repression, of the anima mundi.
Rather let us imagine the anima mundi as that particular soul-spark, that seminal image, which offers itself through each thing in its visible form. Then anima mundi indicates the animated possibilities presented by each new event as it is, its sensuous presentation as a face bespeaking its interior image - in short, its availability to imagination, its presence as psychic reality. Not only animals and plants ensouled as in the Romantic vision, but soul is given with each thing, God-given things of nature and man-made things of the street.

Today, on this particularly regular tuesday, I will be ranting to you about boys.
Sorry, sorry. I couldn't help myself. Moving swiftly onwards. I am, as you probably know by now, in highschool.And as a highschool girl, of course I hear a lot about boys. Highschool is where girls start coming into themselves. We've gone through puberty so *magically* we don't have the bodies of nine-year-old boys anymore. Breast. Butts. Booty, hips, curves. And we like to feel pretty and confident, and for many girls (too many, if you ask me) the main way to feel confident and attractive is to have attention from the male species. It's no secret. Everyone likes compliments. But compliments from boys are special. well, unless the girl isn't straight- that's a different story. So let me put it this way- getting attention and compliments from whatever sex you're attracted to is a very boosting, and desired thing for us highschool ladies. And for college ladies. and working ladies. there is nothing wrong with liking to be noticed, and being called pretty. sure, it's nice when a guy or girl or whatev finds you attractive. YES I know I kinda perpetuate the whole "I don't need your opinion" thing- which I believe in. But you get what I'm saying. Even though you don't need their affirmation to know how lovely you are, it's nice to hear.
Ok now I can rant. What I don't like- what I despise is when girls/women/female things degrade themselves for attention. Why do you think there is the whole "Ditz" character? For some reason, many men find the clueless, dumb girl who can't do anything but wear cleavage-y dresses really "hot". But we'll get into that in another post. This is for the girls/women/female things. Remember how we talked about... OK how I talked about how changing yourself for other people is the lamest most lame thing that anyone could ever do and you should never do it because it's lame?
Yes, I have a gif for everything. Get over it honey, I know I'm fabulous.
Well this falls under the whole don't-change-yourself-for-others-because-it's.... ok you get the point. I personally do not go to a school where this is a problem (thank god) but it really is at other schools. Girls feel like they have to be dumb and vulnerable for guys to notice them. The damsel in distress scenario is kinda hard to pull of in highschool because of the whole lack of castles and 200 lb. armor thing. So girls instead make themselves seem like they need help from some dude so that he'll be able to fill the desired manly-man, knight-in-LAME-armor archetype and swoop into rescue her from the evil math problem that she just can't solve on her own. Must I make a Mean Girls Reference?? I think not.
Don't pretend you don't know things. UGH. Being smart is sexy. Knowing stuff is hot. If you degrade yourself, all you're doing is boosting the dude's ego, and it may seem like you're benefiting...but do you really want people thinking you're a "ditz". No honey.
Also, this whole thing about guys not liking girls who are smarter than them is such crap.
Dudes- if you feel threatened by girls to the point that you only find those who are less intelligent than you attractive then you need to GROW UP. Women aren't just sacks of potatoes who just roll around and can't solve math problems or conjugate verbs in french class, waiting for you to swing them over your shoulder and carry them into the sunset. And if you don't feel threatened and you just "don't like them" then I don't know what's wrong with you, but obviously something is. Sorry, was that too harsh? Sorry for not being sorry :)
And for the lovely ladies. Be proud of you're smarts, and be proud of your everything. If you don't know how to do the math problem, fine. If the conjugation of "aimer" in french just doesn't click, cool. But be proud of yourself girl. JEEZ there I go being all mushy and inspirational. I try not to, I swear. But I just want all you lovely girl/woman/female things to stop trying to make themselves dumber, ditzier, vulnerable..er? More vulnerable, more helpless. Be strong, and remember
Ok? Ok. And if you encounter someone who can't handle you in all your glory, then here are some steps to walk you through the process:
1. Smile
2. flip you hair, or some equally sassy action (snapping gum, placing hand on hip rolling of eyes or all in combination are recommended)
3. turn around
4. begin walking away
5.finish off with a
And I think that'll do it.
So yeah kids, that's all for tonight. Next post will be about the male side of this, and then another will be about my love for Jessica Rabbit and other Femme Fatale Characters... so *whoop whoop* look foreword to that I suppose. Don't forget to submit or write to me if you got anything to say (email in the sidebar, duh).
Be well, be swell. Ummm... don't lower youself.... Smart is sexy... I don't really need to recap the whole post.... my gifs are amazing.... Watch the Little Rascals...
Kisses and many feminist vibes

This could make for some unexpectedly unique gigs. Quick quote from The Register:
"Guitar amp manufacturer Fender's recently-introduced Mustang GT 100 guitar amplifier can be made to play whatever audio an attacker fancies, security researchers have discovered.
"The amp allows Bluetooth connections, but without pairing security. Anyone within range could therefore "stream arbitrary audio to it and hijack your amp output", security researcher Chris Pritchard of Pen Test Partners (PTP) reported.
"The device - marketed towards gigging musicians - is trivially easy to hack, as a video put together by PTP (below) demonstrates." ...
(or direct link)
The PTP article cited above has lots more to say, including this:
"The Bluetooth ID is 'Mustang GT', though anyone using this amp to play live would be well advised to turn Bluetooth off.... Of course, that then stops you using the smart features that are the key to this amp..."

There are two different types of programs that need to link in with
Pspell. Applications and Modules. For applications a provide an "extern
C" interface which I strongly recommend programs use to avoid the
linking issue. For modules on the other hand there is only a C++
interface. This is because 1) There need to provide concrete implantations
of abstract base classes and 2) because they need to use a large number
of Pspell services that normal applications are not allowed to use. For
more insight on this I suggest you look at the Pspell header files. I try
to comment things fairly well. You might also want to look at the Ispell
(though a pipe) and Aspell module to get an idea of how modules are
This means that Pspell and its modules need to use compatibly compiles
while AbiWord and Pspell don't necessarily.

Perhaps. If you know of someone who is familiar with how Mozilla dynamic
linking works it could be very helpful.

What is AVID?
The AVID program is an honors program for high school students planning to apply to four-year colleges and universities. The program is selective and voluntary which means that students must apply and be selected to participate in the AVID elective course and program. In the AVID elective course, students study writing, inquiry, collaboration, reading, note-taking and study skills, as well as participate in college/career/motivational activities. In addition to the AVID elective teacher, AVID tutors are college students who visit the AVID classes to support learning by challenging students to understand coursework more deeply. AVID elective teachers monitor and support progress in all courses to prepare students for acceptance into the college or university of their choice. In addition to progress reports, subject area teachers fill out reports for monitoring student progress.
AVID at our School
On March 24, 2018, AVID had wonderful celebration with former CRLS AVID graduates. This was an idea stemming from Principal Smith to exhibit how successful AVID has been at CRLS, since 2008. In attendance were former AVID graduates from the classes of 2008, 09, 10,11,12,13,14,15, and 16. It was delightful to hear what each graduate is doing for work and volunteerism.
What is required of an AVID student?
AVID students are expected to maintain good behavior, good attendance, and a GPA of 2.0-3.5. All AVID students must enroll in at least one honors course in addition to the AVID elective. Each AVID student carries a binder in which he or she is required to keep materials from all academic classes. Students keep track of assignments on assignment sheets and are required to take daily notes in all academic classes. AVID elective teachers and tutors grade the notebooks weekly for content and organization. Students participate in bi-weekly tutorials led by AVID Coaches and trained college students. In addition, students are taught study skills, test preparation, time management, and the writing process. Once selected, AVID students must commit to taking notes in subject-area classes on a daily basis and completing all homework assignments.
How can a child become an AVID student?
AVID applications are available in all elementary schools and learning community offices. For more information about the application process for incoming ninth graders, please contact Leslie Davis at 617.349.6797.

Houston siblings indicted in Medicare fraud case
From a low-rise office building in southwest Houston, the brother and sister — both health professionals — built businesses over the last six years offering an array of services from in-home aides to medical care.
Antonia Michelle Harris, a registered nurse who is licensed in Texas, oversaw Allied Covenant Home Health from a suite at 8323 Southwest Freeway near South Gessner.
Charles Harris ran Harris Healthcare Group, which offered family medicine, counseling and medical social work services — such as how to apply for a handicapped license plate or get disabled bus services — from the same address.
But on Tuesday, the sibling entrepreneurs were apprehended by Houston FBI agents in a national takedown of 89 people accused of Medicare fraud.
Authorities say the sweeping arrests disrupted schemes in eight cities that amounted to $223 million in false Medicare billings. This is the sixth major takedown in four years by the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team, a task force of federal, state and local authorities known as HEAT.
"These defendants are accused of a variety of crimes involving the fraudulent use of Medicare information obtained illegally from elderly or low income individuals, the submission of false billings for treatments that were never performed or were performed by unlicensed individuals and a range of other schemes that placed the safety of innocent people at risk in order to achieve illicit financial gain," Attorney General Eric Holder said during a joint news conference with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
According to a four-count indictment filed under seal last week, the siblings are accused of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, conspiracy to pay and receive health care kickbacks as well as two charges of payment and receipt of health care kickbacks.
Court documents allege that Antonia Harris, 42, controlled Allied's day-to-day operations and paid kickbacks to recruiters, including her 44-year-old brother, who referred Medicare beneficiaries to the business. Beneficiaries who signed up for Allied services also received cash, gift cards and prepaid cards.
Since April 2007, Allied has submitted roughly $8.1 million in Medicare claims for home health services "that were not medically necessary and, in some cases, not provided," the indictment said. Harris Healthcare filed about $7.8 million in Medicare claims during the same period, court records allege.
Houston is a hot spot for these prosecutions. The $36 million City Nursing Medicare fraud scheme ensnared nine people. Eight have been convicted, including the owner who was sentenced in 2011 to more than 27 years in prison. A medical aide received a nine-year punishment last week.
HEAT investigations have resulted in 1,500 people being charged in connection with schemes involving more than $5 billion in false Medicare billings.
Federal officials advise consumers to protect their insurance card information, to check "explanation of benefits" notices to ensure insurance companies have paid for services actually rendered and to be suspicious of those who offer gifts in exchange for medical services. Report suspected Medicare fraud to 800-HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477).
