I haven't done these in a while.
I don't want to hear about prostrate cancer. And I don't want to hear that people prostated themselves before their leader. I don't even want to think about what that would look like.
Prostrate has an extra "r" in it. Prostate doesn't. They are two different words with two very different meanings. So, if I look up something with the word prostrate on google.com, I don't want to be asked, "Did you mean prostate?" and then find myself staring at a bunch of links on the prostate gland. See?
I understand that Google is counting on people misspelling or misusing the word, but still ...
A search for prostrate on The Free Dictionary even brings up ads for prostate-related sites. Only one of them mentions "prostrate cancer."
Prostrate (with the second "r"), according to the American Heritage Dictionary, Fourth Edition, means "to put or throw flat with face down, as in submission or adoration." Think of Muslims praying.
The word itself comes from Latin pro- ("forward") + sternere ("to spread, cast down"). Other words stemming from "sternere" include stratum and street. A strata is a layer of something. We usually think of layers as horizontal, or spread across a space. A street is stretched or extended across the ground. So you can see how the original meaning "spreads" into these other words.
Prostate (without the second "r"), on the other hand, refers to the prostate gland. It's the word that's so often paired with cancer, as prostate cancer is a significant threat for older men. The "pro" of the word comes from Greek pro- ("in front"), while the second half of the word comes from the Greek histanai ("to set, place"). So prostate literally means "set in front" or "placed in front."
In male mammals, the prostate gland surrounds the neck of the bladder. So I guess it's right to refer to it as the, er, "set-in-front" gland.
So, I'm sorry for anyone who has prostate cancer. But please don't try to talk to me about prostrate cancer. If you do, I'm going to ask you how it might be possible that one gets cancer from getting on your knees and bowing to the ground.
OK, on to the next pet peeve o' day:
Why do people confuse these words? What are they thinking? "Oh, penultimate sounds like ultimate, and it sounds ... bigger! better! fancier! So it must mean 'really ultimate'!" (Note I didn't write "uber-ultimate," as "uber" is another big pet peeve of mine these days.)
No, penultimate doesn't mean "really ultimate" (or uber-ultimate). It means "next to last." I know this word from linguistics--the next-to-last syllable of a word is the penultimate syllable. The third-to-last syllable, by the way, is the antepenultimate syllable, "ante" meaning "before."
Ultimate, of course, has several meanings, one of which is "being last in a series, process, or progression" (from the American Heritage Dictionary, Fourth Edition). Sure, it can also mean "biggest," "greatest," or "utmost." But the term penultimate is related to that first definition of ultimate. Penultimate, by the way, comes from the Latin paene ("almost") + ultimus ("last").
So please, use your ultimates correctly. I think I'm going to have to give the ultimate dirty look to the next person who uses penultimate as an intensified version of ultimate.
End of pet-peeve rant.

1 large or 2 small kuchinashi dried gardenia fruit
2 tbsp rice vinegar
100-120 g granulated sugar
50 g brown sugar
2 tbsp mirin
Bring plenty of water to boil, remove from heat, and soak kuri for 30 minutes. (By the time the water cools enough to pick out a chestnut with your hand, the tough outer skin should be soft.)
Cut kuchinashi in half.
In a pot, place kuri and water to cover.
Add rice vinegar and kuchinashi, and bring to boil on medium heat.
Add water as necessary to keep kuri immersed while simmering. Remove from heat, and let cool.
Drain, add cold water to cover, and let sit for 30 minutes.
In a pot, put kuri, just enough water to cover (approx. 350-400cc) and 1/3 of sugar, and bring to boil on medium heat after placing an otoshibuta drop cover.
Add 1/2 of remaining sugar, cover with otoshibuta, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add remaining sugar and mirin, cover with otoshibuta, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat, and cool overnight.
Kuri no kanroni is ready.
- Rice vinegar helps prevent chestnuts from crumbling while simmering.
- To get chestnuts to hold their shape better (firm up), soak peeled chestnuts in water and yaki myoban burnt alum (1 tsp yaki myoban per 1000 cc water) for 30 minutes to overnight. Then soak chestnuts in cold water for 30 minutes to several hours, and continue with Process 3 above. When yaki myoban is used, rice vinegar is not needed. Yaki myoban also helps to retain the yellow color.
- Kuchinashi dried gardenia fruit are added to color chestnuts, but they are optional. Kuchinashi is available at Chinese grocery stores or herbal medicine shops in the US.
- If mirin is not available, honey works. (Honey is much, much sweeter than mirin for the same amount.)

ABP recently appointed Endpoint to design and develop a wayfinding masterplan for their Royal Albert Docks development. This £1.7 billion investment aims to transform this underutilised area of East London into a new Asian Business District; the largest development of its kind in the UK.
The design team is led by architect and masterplanner, Farrells, who introduced us to ABP following our successful collaboration at Chelsea Waterfront. One of the unique challenges of this project will be creating a wayfinding design system that is effective for the initial building phase, but also future-proofed to ensure consistency as it's implemented throughout the development over the next eight years.
Situated in the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone, the 35-acre mixed-use development will include a business cluster, retail and residential space and leisure facilities, creating a place where people can work, live and enjoy. The creation of London's next business district is estimated to deliver more than 30,000 jobs and generate an income of £6 billion to the London economy.

my thanksgiving secret...
My mother in law is a fantastic cook. The best recipes I've ever gotten from her have been the ones that have eight ingredients or less, and my thanksgiving secret is no different. I call it MY secret because a few years ago, my husband and I took over the 'burden' of the Family Thanksgiving Dinner and decided to include everyone's in-laws, therefore turning it into a 40-person affair.
The dinners are always fun, entertaining and delicious, but My SECRET is the one thing that everyone talks about year after year. Today, I'm sharing MY secret with YOU! The Cranberry Raspberry Relish. Forget all those canned cranberries and go for the REAL, FRESH (not frozen) thing!!
The Cranberry Raspberry Relish
- 1lb. Fresh Cranberries (not frozen)
- 2 Tart Green Apples - cored
- 10oz. Package frozen raspberries - thawed and drained
- 1/2 C. Orange marmalade
- 1tsp. Lemon Juice (or more - to taste)
- 1/2 C. Agave

Everybody knows this right? Well, not my friend Kev. He once wrote to me:
Microsoft designed Windows and got the IT industry to what its today.
Without Microsoft....there would be no Google.
You can thank your job to Microsoft...what now?
And now, the retort. I did not think I would ever need to write about how much Windows sucks. But Kev, due to your ignorance, I need to school you. This is the second time for you, after my Gmail owns Hotmail post. The fact is, Microsoft is actually holding us back. We would be so much further ahead if the majority of computers had a real operating system. You know why everyone has Windows? Because anyone can buy cheap hardware and slap a copy of Windows on it. Because MS Office was lucky enough to win the office suite war. Not because Microsoft is this innovative think-tank. Not because Windows is better than Mac OS. Simply put: we're forced to use Windows. Let's review:
Security: Aren't viruses great? I have Norton Internet Security and Webroot Spy Sweeper installed, and boy am I happy I have close to a gig of RAM, because those two apps use up a ton of memory. Why do viruses exist? Well, mostly due to security vulnerabilities in Windows and Microsoft apps like MS Word and MS Internet Explorer. Every week I seem to see a new patch to close off some kind of security hole. I would have given you credit if you told me Microsoft got the anti-virus industry to where it is today.
Thievery: Instant messaging, web browsing, media playing, office application ... all stolen. Remember ICQ? Remember when Netscape was the only web browser? I still miss AmiPro. I was better off with all of these apps. Except they all disappeared, and I was forced to switch to their lesser cousins. And all of them are absolutely bloated with features that nobody uses. What's new since Word '95? Well, it uses an extra 128MB of memory. That's always useful (<- sarcastic, you fuck!) Here is an interesting video from Steve Job's Keynote address at the Worldwide Developer's Conference. It points out that everything making Windows Vista a landmark upgrade basically already exists in OSX. Instant Search is Spotlight. Aero is Aqua. Flip tab is a ghetto version of Expose. Internet Explorer 7 is a mix of Firefox and Safari RSS. Microsoft Mail is Mail. Microsoft Calendar is iCal. OSX came out in 2001! Vista, whenever they can kill the thousands of bugs plaguing the beta, will come out sometime next year. Six years later -- who got the IT industry where?
Stability: Remember when Windows 98 crashed during its public demo? You ever need to reformat your computer because it takes too long to boot up? Remember the blue screen of death? Why is it that after 4 major releases since Windows 95, the OS still crashes?
I'm a web developer - and Microsoft didn't invent the internet. In fact, they haven't invented anything, they stole it! And then made a really shitty facsimile that was either really cheap, or free, was full of bugs and security holes, but somehow crippled the competition. So no, I won't thank Microsoft for my job.
Wow. Getting that off my chest felt real good.

On its face renaming San Francisco International Airport after slain gay rights activist and former city council member Harvey Milk makes total sense. In a city known worldwide as a "gay mecca," it was Milk who in many ways led that charge.
The council will meet Tuesday to vote on the proposal, which right now looks likely to fail.
Still, as a homosexual black man and a native of the city, my own life's journey has drawn inspiration from other sources apart from Milk, names not as well recognized though no less meaningful.

We belong to you, you do not belong to us – LPP Online Exhibition
We belong to you, you do not belong to us
Curated by Erika Lynne Hanson
Artists: Marthe Elise Stramrud, Matthew Jensen, Christopher K. Ho, Michelle Blade, and Sasha Krieger.
October 8-November 19, 2012
In Robin Kelsey's essay Landscape as Not Belonging, he offers the following proposed definition of Landscape: "A fantasy of not belonging to the totality of life of a terrestrial expanse, traditionally taking the form of: You belong to us, we do not belong to you." He goes on further to articulate the phenomena of that which is called Landscape is always accompanied by a sense of distance — it is an unattainable space never reached by the viewer, but rather only a view to be taken in.

As we approach the opening night of the show, I take our last tech rehearsal to prepare for it and reflect on everything that has happened in the past few weeks.
I have learned a lot about acting and Shakespeare plays in general. This is the first Shakespeare play I have done that I completely understood every line that I said. Part of it could be that it was easier to understand what I was saying because of everyone else's acting.
There was so much more to A Midsummer Night's Dream than I had realized too. For example, I had never thought about all of the sensual meanings behind the play until I was in this version of it.
I also was able to improve some of my acting skills during this play. I got to focus more on projection without straining my voice, especially since we did not use microphones, which is new to me.
I also improved my eye focus. Instead of letting my eyes wander when I speak or am just observing in a scene, I make sure to keep everything focused.
One of the major challenges that I had to overcome for this show was not laughing, smiling, or breaking character on stage. Because of the humorous nature of the show, especially in the mechanical scenes, it was very difficult to get through a scene without laughing at one of my fellow actors.
The hardest scene for me to hold it together is where I yell at Theseus and Hippolyta for not paying attention to my lines as Moonshine. But looking at their foreheads rather than their eyes seems to do the trick!
All in all, I think the last dress rehearsal went very well. I feel as if I could do this play in my sleep, so I don't really feel nervous at all for opening night. I'm just excited to get to finally do it for an audience!!

The product generally is a mixture of different components. Emulsifiers and stabilisers. Found in many different products. Acceptable Daily Intake: 16 mg/kg bodyweight. The products are first digested to sugar and fats. The body metabolises all components identical to sugar and natural fat. Although mainly vegetable oils are used, the use of animal fat (incl. pork) can not be excluded. Several groups, such as vegans, Muslims and Jews thus avoid these products.

As civil rights groups are calling on Congress to combat the crisis of people of color dying in police shootings, more harrowing details have emerged about Stephon Clark's death.
Fifty-two videos and one audio file in Clark's shooting were released Monday, the Sacramento Bee reported. The most horrifying information revealed by the videos shows officers waited nearly six minutes before administering CPR to the 22-year-old unarmed father, who was gunned down while only holding a cell phone in his grandmother's backyard in Sacramento on March 18. Cops held off from approaching Clark's body about five minutes, and once they approached him, they handcuffed and searched him for nearly a minute before beginning rescue assistance. When fire department responders were finally cleared to help Clark about a minute after CPR began, he had likely already passed away.
The footage raises so many questions, including why it took several minutes to provide medical aid to Clark. Could quicker moves have helped save his life?
"The five minutes' lapse in time, I'm not sure if it would have saved the life of Stephon Clark, but it would have increased the chances," Rashid Sidqe, a police reform activist with the Law Enforcement Accountability Directive, said.
The videos will likely spark more protests as people of color across the country express that Clark didn't have to lose his life. Folks already feel frustrated with the persistent problem of minimal police accountability, a matter also brought up in the fatal shootings of Danny Ray Thomas and Saheed Vassell. Activists are going above and beyond in doing their part to save lives—but when will Congress do more?
Several civil rights groups, including the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, have urged Congress to look at policing strategies and reform legislation, according to Civilrights.org. Requiring national data collection on police use of force and de-escalation training is also crucial, the groups have said. They have made it clear that truth and their fight won't be stopped during the Trump era, but it will grow louder and stronger.

A recent press release describes Virginia's launch of a website regarding "Virginia's Road to the Future." The new website is available to people who are interested in learning more about Governor Bob McDonnell's proposal to increase funding for Virginia's transportation system. It is available at www.VaRoadtotheFuture.com. The new website will be updated frequently.
Website visitors will be able to review background information and supporting documents about the comprehensive, long-term transportation funding plan proposed by Governor McDonnell. Website visitors will also be able to review key features on the site, such as:
- The proposed transportation project list,
- Frequently asked questions,
- Financial breakdowns,
- Factsheets,
- Legislative information, and
- Endorsements and supporters.
The proposed plan would provide more than $3.1 billion in transportation funding for Virginia over the next five years. This includes $1.8 billion for new construction. The proposed plan also ties future transportation funding to economic growth. Additionally, it would make Virginia the first state in the nation to eliminate its gas tax.
Many business, labor, and transportation groups have already announced their support of the governor's plan. Supporters argue that the investment in transportation infrastructure will make Virginia highways safer by relieving traffic congestion. Website materials state that, since all Virginians benefit from Virginia's transportation networks, all Virginians should appreciate the value the proposed plan would add to the commonwealth.

In 1967 young people were told that plastics were the future and the future did not disappoint. Today the world is made out of plastic, carbon fibre, corrosion resistant lightweight alloys, high strength concrete and LEDs. This technology has generally converted our world from one where stuff is expensive and people are cheap, to exactly the opposite. I could go on and on about the many economic ramifications of this, but in essence "things" went from being crafted and artisan, to being so invisible that they might as well not matter. Back in the day the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was the largest private employer in North America with over 300,000 employees, roughly the same as WalMart. This vast army of workers was needed to polish, paint, lubricate and generally maintain all of the expensive, labor intensive technology that allowed humans to move at speeds faster than brisk walk. Replacing the materials of old was part and parcel to being able to replace the workers that cared for them, however as we charge into the middle of the 21st century some of these materials have soldiered on in the service of railroad signaling and, until their inevitable replacement, they provide a window into the pre-digital industrial age.
Steel and Iron
Steel and iron are the stereotypical railroad materials as demand for bridges, rails and locomotives practically created the modern steel industry. Of course steel wasn't just used for girders and boilers. Back in the day this was the only metal one had available for structural components of any size, and before the advent of plastic or other composites, metal was one of the only materials available with an adequate strength to weight ratio. Stronger, weather proof and more durable than wood, iron and steel became the materials of choice of railroad signals and signal structures. The US&S style N color light signal mast shown above is almost completely made of iron and steel, right down to the base. Cast iron housing and brackets, sheet steel backing, steel pipe mast, strap iron ladder work, heck, even the signal wires are sheathed in iron. Read more

Today blog education is inspired by the words of Alan Culpepper from his book "Run like a Champion"
Alan has a chapter about effort and intensity; the line I'll take from the book then elaborate in my own theory about this which will agree with what Alan writes also.
"There may be a fine line between a hard effort and an intense effort, but they are distinctly different concepts in running. A hard effort typically describes the physical output of a workout, or run, while an intense effort relates to the mental or psychological approach."
I really like that because endurance sports, running, swimming, cycling all of it are so much about the mental toughness of an athlete and how an athlete can handle and adapt to things with mental strength. But as athletes we have those hard effort workouts the physical kind that has us breathless and about to puke sometimes. I would say most people look for or relate to hard efforts more than intense efforts because it's easy for them to say that was a tough workout that was hard and kicked my butt. A hard effort workout leaves your body exhausted, sore, and grasping for a rest day.
But an intense workout I think is the money workout, when an athlete can tell the difference and understand they are in an intense workout one that challenges them mentally; to me these are the break through workouts! We all have those off days, those days we struggle and the mental game starts talking to us and trying to derail us. But as an athlete when we recognize this intense effort, this mentally tough workout and we power through we dig deep and we get mentally tough, stay positive and succeed the outcome from that can be huge in our growing and moving on to chasing those goals we set for ourselves.
Crossing the line from "hard" effort to "intense" effort is all in your mental approach all in how you think about the workout and attack the workout. To have an intense workout one that will prepare you for race day, you have to let go a little and be very positive! I coach athletes that are far away, but also athletes that are local near me and we train as a group often. The group and team aspect of doing your workouts with training partners can quickly take your hard effort to an intense effort and make the run painful. The workout it's self could be a challenging tough physical one, but then you mix in that little bit of competitiveness of having a training partner with you and it can become intense and mentally taxing also. By nature we want to keep up or beat our training partners and this type of competition within a training environment has positive and negative effects. I think a person needs to be very strong mentally and very positive upbeat person that can handle adversity, can be patient, and if they are humbled will be OK with that.
Example: Let's say your workout is a mid distance hard tempo run, you're coach has prescribed certain paces for you to hit but you are with your training partner who might be similar pace as you but for whatever reason they are feeling really good and fit that day and turn the workout into a harder effort a pseudo race maybe. This can even happen if you are alone and set your watch to beep and tell you if you are getting too slow and not hitting your prescribed paces. What happens now is this workout turns into "intense" because mentally you have to get tough, you have to overcome the physical feeling you have to stay pace with your training partner or what the watch is telling you. (The caution for any runner doing a run or workout is not too add so much intensity that you wind up running harder than what is called for." As adding too much intensity can physically deplete you and kick your butt so bad that you struggle the next few days to recover from that workout and then it makes your other workouts suffer. So be cautious when entering into this zone.
As a coach, as an athlete I do appreciate the intense workouts that make us work mentally. Racing is hard, racing pushes us mentally just as much or more than it does physically. So often people are scared, they are scared to really go for it! They have fear of bonking, or whatever it is that scares them. When things get tough its human nature for us to shut down, slow down and stop fighting because physically it's so hard and hurts. This is where having some good "intense" workouts that make us mentally stronger and build confidence within us!
And having confidence and belief within you is king!! I see athletes all the time that have loads of physical talent but they are so mentally weak, so crazy in their head that it derails them and leads them to more failure than success. They can easily shut down when things get tough, I also see where being in the group training element can affect them because their training partner is killing it they can't keep pace so they shut down and come up with an excuse to quit or run slow. These people need more intense workouts and mental strength work to overcome these things and stay positive and keep pushing and moving and embracing the pain.
Then you see some athletes that are just so strong mentally and when surges happen on a training run, or in a race they can dig deep and withstand the pain that sets in physically, they can overcome the mental demons that make them want to back off and quit because physically it's so hard. These athletes can find the balance in training between a hard effort and an intense one. They embrace intense efforts and use them to grow and become stronger. But these types of athletes also have to be cautious and not do this too often and then physically beat themselves up and leave them hurt or sore all the time.
So as you see it is just such a fine line between the two as Alan states in his book and as an athlete you need to learn to tell the two apart and embrace both.
One last line from Alan's book that I agree 100% with!
"Perceived effort is becoming a lost art and must be practiced if there is any hope of running at your best on race day." In today's world we have so much technology, so much data we can collect and so many runners get obsessed with this and focused on this data and technology and so often they need to just let go and perform on perceived effort based on what the day, the course gives them. This approach will also help keep the athlete in a more positive state of mind and in many ways can let them grow and become faster/stronger because they might get into that "intense" workout more and push their limits and not hold back trying to focus on a certain pace. So use the technology, its fun to see the data post workout, but during the workout practice some perceived effort levels and see what happens.
Happy Training, Happy Racing, train that mind and get mentally tough and positive to withstand any adversity or negative/painful things tossed your way!

Our next off the page poetry series event will feature poets Winston Derden and Jonathan Moody on Wednesday, January 8 beginning at 7pm. Open mic to follow featured readings. Refreshments provided.
The two poems below are by poet Winston Derden. "A Gift" appeared first in Big River Poetry Review. "Medium Small" first appeared in Illya's Honey.
A Gift
My gift of poems arrived pre-read,
a book by Mary Oliver,
paper wrapper nicked a bit,
pages curled and unrecovered.
Not a poem was missing, though,
each page was bound in order,
and as image, verse, and line enlightened,
I began to wonder
if luminescence shines more bright
having first lit the eyes of another.
— Winston Derden
Medium Small
put one medium with another
and you don't get media,
you get mediums.
the mediums
these days are
so small.
Cell phones
that fit the palm of your hand,
but leave you asking, "What?
What? You broke up."
that play into
ear buds with one third
the range of cheap speakers.
Smart devices
that access
the Internet
on screens too tiny to read,
with WIFI access
anywhere you go
to update
the latest snippet
of nothing
large enough
to matter.
— Winston Derden

Components of Borg Implanted Cybernetic Eyepieces in Captured Borg Technological Samples.
Philip M. Mancie, Jr. MD Alien Biotechnology Specialist Star Fleet Life Sciences Division, Section 4, Outpost 070
Parker and Mubrax identified several class of Borg Drone in their landmark study of 2367 (Identification and classification of multiple classes of Borg Drones as evidenced in Drone corpses and body parts retrieved from the first Borg incursion of sector 001 in 2365). We received several well preserved examples of Borg eyepiece at the 070 facility in early 2367, just a few months before the publication of Parker and Mubrax's paper. Our investigative work supports the conclusions of Parker et al, that the Borg Drones are cybernetically enhanced with their specific classes role in mind.
From the various eyepieces we examined immediately after receipt from Star Fleet's facilities we were able to clearly discern those that afforded the particular hive member special enhanced abilities to best perform it's specialized tasks. Of the sensory devices we could definitively identify we were able to surmise which multi-modal visual units were for tactical, biomedical and technical/support Drones. To date, several devices related to the eyepieces remain unidentified in terms of function and/or the underlying Borg technology.
In all of the intact units we studied, the most obvious common design element is the Borg EVISA-Enhanced Visual Spectral Amplifier, This small device, under 2 grams in weight is composed of microcircuitry similar to that found in the non-isolinear nanocircuits currently under development in both Federation and Klingon laboratories.
Although the exact design of the sensor head did vary in some cases, in functionality each system's EVISA worked identically. The subprocessor interlink was exactly the same in each system, designed with a terminus at the system split between a neural splice in the humanoid optic nerve. Further, an additional subprocessor located at the base of the skull cavity provided a performance enhancement enhancement algorithm and is interlinked between both the optic nerve and the triple redundant neural processor in the visual neocortex of the assimilated host.
In testing both intact eyepiece systems within organic remains and on the bench, in various reverse engineering schemata, the enhanced visual range detected by our analysis of the EVISA was very impressive by typical humanoid standards. Greatly increased visual acuity, up to 800% higher than the highest tested humanoid eyesight, includes micro/macro and telescopic functionality with automated focus. All of this is actuated by a single command from the Drone's collective. This is the equivalent of 3.3 megapixels per 0.01 square millimeter. This is nearly one third of the resolution of Star Fleet's best current astronomical and orbital geographic visual sensors in current use.
The neocortical subprocessor provides an even further degree of visual enhancement, although to what degree or to what end we remain unsure. A recently noted loop transceiver integrated into the implant's design indicates that at least some degree of data is transferable both to and from the collective. The possibility that even view screen like functions might be channeled through this system has been discussed.
Interestingly some slight variations in the control code matrix suggests the ability to fine tune the EVISA to the particular visual physiology of the varied humanoid species the Borg have, and continue to assimilate. This is not surprising, considering the level of biotechnology we have seen from the Borg to date.
There is also another small device that seems to be a sensor for sub-spectral matter & energy analysis (SSA), utilizing a micro matrix of Lepton enhanced phosphor micro CCD that works in conjunction with the EVISA's photonic analog to digital semi-organic based isolinear hybrid converter. Additional neural circuits are forged directly between the SSA, the EVISA and the nerve plexus of the Drone's visual neocortex.
The eyepiece of the Parker designated Tactical Drone presented some intriguing technologies with extremely advanced defensive and offensive support capabilities.
A Tritium Doxysilicate Hexatronic processor provides enhanced sensory data on moving objects, allowing the micro-sub-processor interpretation of multiple targets-obviously extrapolating a variety of tactical way points for the Drone to consider in planning it's individualized response to the threat scenario. This is probably also transmitted in high speed data packets to the collective.
This should also afford the drone spectacular threat identification and targeting assessment abilities- although this function is only activated once the collective has identified a pertinent local threat. This occurs simultaneously with the initialization of various other individual Borg Drone defensive and offensive systems, including multi-phasic shielding.
There is also a secondary function to the Hexatronic device, and that is the ability to discern residual tachyon signatures. This could provide the drone with the ability to sense various sub-space and space/time phenomena. Perhaps each Tactical Drone also acts as an advanced sensory platform for the collective and/or the command paradigm that is managing the mission or current tasks for that drone. In either case, some entity utilizes the data and makes tactical decisions based upon it.
A bi-polar charged Muon sensor gives the drone the ability detect and possibly in some way visualize life signs and other biological data at moderate distances under 12 kilometers. This is not unlike the technologies currently being used as a standard by a variety of Alpha Quadrant warp capable civilizations, including the Federation.
A number of data processing and storage chips are built into the tactical eyepiece. Not unlike miniature versions of the PMCS chips in a standard Federation tricorder, these Borg chips have been lab rated at just under 125 GFP calculations per second. All of these chips, which inexplicably vary in number from tactical drone to tactical drone, connect to a subspace transceiver implanted within the drone's cranium.
Finally, a device found on only a few of the tactical visual systems is the Magnetic Resonance Scanner/Imager. This small device apparently allows the tactical drone to clearly visualize the interior of small object not overly shielded by metals. To date this particular feature has only been found in what we classify as the type three Tactical Drone eyepiece.
Our examination enhanced eyepieces of the Parker designated Medical Drones revealed a degree of miniaturization that was startling to say the least. While the design of the tactical drone is a marvel of miniature nanocircuitry and efficient design, the medical drone is amazingly equipped with the rough equivalent of a field medical facility. Essentially, the eyepieces contain a full suite of bio-medical sensors, all of which is routed to the central hive and co-processed within the Borg neuroprocessor simultaneously and concurrently. Although we have not determined the exact structure of the quadratronic processor matrix and non-isolinear processor code for many of the functions, those we have managed to provoke into operation have been fascinating.
For example, we discovered an extremely small, yet powerful full spectrum holographic projector that apparently projects images and data pertaining to the operative or medical procedure at hand. By focusing the image precisely within the vitreous fluid of the drone's natural eye, we believe the central collective can assist the drone to perform it's appropriate medical task with a greater degree of precision. It is not inconceivable that there's a sort of connect-the-dots or color-by-number activity going on there. In any case, the projector is a both marvel of micro-biotechnology and a brilliantly conceived concept no doubt purloined from an assimilated civilization.
Then we stumbled upon the sensor suite, and it is literally a full suite of sensor applications. Our exhaustive studies of those devices we could understand and effectively reverse engineer revealed the ability to focus sensor fields on the entire body, a specific area of the body, or a specific organ.
All of the functions evidenced the ability to provide real time multi-spectral moving images, allowing the drone to visualize the quality of blood flow, blood gasses, organ and cavity temperatures, cellular level multi-mode examinations and the various bodily fluid systems throughout the subject's body.
In addition, the eyepiece has several tissue repair particle beams, allowing the drone to anesthetize, Incise or provide cellular level tissue repair technologies, projecting the beams into wounds as deep as the pre-cavity fascia of most humanoid civilizations. However, this device appears to be a back-up to a similar but more powerful device in the Medical Borg utility arm.
Macro and microscopic technologies abound in the eyepiece, some of which is still being carefully examined and reverse engineered to provide more insight into their respective capabilities and underlying methods-of-action.

This week we were invited for a delicous lunch with our French friends and neighbours. It was the first time we had got together since Christmas. During the four hour lunch we ate some great food and had lots of laughs. As you will see from last year's blog ...please click below to read it...the main topics of conversation were still sex..religion and politics... this year we discussed homosexual marriage in France and the reasons why so many French do not want this to be made legal and...how they have changed their views on Francois Hollande. Last year they hated Sarkozy or Sarko ....now it's the turn of Hollande to be the baddie!!

Exclusive: The government of Israel is scheduled to approve on Sunday the construction of a memorial for former Minister Rechavam Ze'evi in the Jordan Valley.
Arutz Sheva has learned that there is currently no funding for the construction of the memorial for the former Tourism Minister, who was assassinated by an Arab terrorist in 2001. Attempts are currently underway to procure funds from various government ministries.
Arutz Sheva also learned that the Finance Ministry, headed by Moshe Kahlon, does not intend to participate in funding the memorial.
The exact location for the memorial has not yet been determined, but an agreement has been reached that the memorial will be located in the Jordan Valley.
Rehavam Ze'evi was a general in the Israel Defense Forces, an Israeli politician and a cabinet minister. He was nicknamed Gandhi at a young age and the name stuck.
In 1942, Ze'evi joined the Palmach pre-state armed forces and later served in the Israel Defence Forces after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. During the War of Independence he served as a platoon commander; during the 1967 Six Day War, he was part of the Central Staff.
Ze'evi retired from the IDF in September 1973, holding the rank of Major-General. However, when the Yom Kippur War broke out in October 1973, he rejoined.
After his IDF retirement, he founded the right-wing Moledet party and served in the Knesset in various ministerial positions.
On October 17, 2001, Ze'evi was assassinated in a Jerusalem hotel on Mount Scopus by four Palestinian terrorists belonging to the terror group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

2011 Brand New Awards, Winners
The winners of the 2011 Brand New Awards have been posted on the Winners page of the BNAs' site.

Due to a last-minute conflict, Paula Scher's client could not attend. In her place, Brett Wicken's and Ammunition Group's client from Autodesk, Creative Director Michiel Schriever, stepped in.
The judges were pretty tough and very consistent among them. There were a lot of zeroes and ones (out of five possible votes) handed out. A few fives here and there and other fours, almost no threes.
The Logo category was weaker than last year. There wasn't a collective "wow" from this category, best represented by the fact that the judges decided to not award a Best of Category.
In regards to logos, there was also a big discussion if it's a disservice to judge logos on their own, without at least one application. Something we will consider for next year.
As usual, the Comprehensive Identity Program category was a monster of fun and awesomeness. The winners displayed a tremendous understanding of extending an identity.
For some reason, both this year's and last year's judges had a hard time grasping the Logo and Identity Animation category, not being exactly sure as to how to evaluate it. Might need a judge next year more close to this kind of work, as I find it to be one of the most exciting categories.
The student entries were not only few but, for the most part, lacking in oomph. We will seriously reconsider keeping the competition open for students next year.
In the end, the winners represent a fantastic selection of work from around the world and we are thrilled with the results.
Special Awards
Once again, there were very few nominations for the two Special Awards for Design Effectiveness and Client Leadership and since only those entries that win are considered the less than a handful that had a nomination did not stand out enough to be awarded. This might be the last year we attempt these two awards.
On Salvage Selections
Since the cutting floor was pretty full, we found a lot of entries that we — Armin and Bryony of UnderConsideration — felt deserved to be included, just as we did last year. We pulled in double the amount of last year and we showed all of our selections to the judges — funnily enough, they all mostly agreed that those projects deserved to be in while they pushed back on two or three of our selections, which we ultimately left in.
We will be working on producing the annual in the next two or three months. This year we will again publish a book, an iPad app, and this year we will be testing a paywall website (for those who don't have an iPad or prefer to see things online).

That wedding looks like it was gorgeous! I love SkyMall. I always flip through it, amazed that I never 'thought of that'! PS) Anytime you want to guest post on my blog. . . I'm game! E-mail it! Happy Monday, friend!ReplyDelete
Trashy or mocking of those who hang the "real" thing?
I like to think it's the latter.
@An Irish - haha, Never ever! And don't you forget that, lol
@Kara - it was a blast. It was such a random group of us, but that just made it that much more fun! And no, please don't spread the idea of these, haha
@Paul - I have a feeling you would like both. And even though I am real partial to Texas, Colorado is amazing. Its a must one day. Thanks Paul!
@Marcy - soooo beautiful. It is one place that might make me leave Texas one day. I said might.
@Erin - haha, awesome. I will do my best to convince you then, lol
@April - soo beautiful, it was my first time there. No, not Howard and Katie. But we may or may not have crashed their reception! haha, just kidding. Good hearing from you girl!
@Copyboy - lol, if you say so :) Thanks! I should have gotten more, the scenery was literally breath taking.
@Laura - I had no idea so many people knew and loved it! Well thanks, we really did.
@Rachel - you are so sweet, I have gotten so busy doing 'real life'...man that sucks. For sure I need to email you, I even have a good idea. And duh, SkyMall rocks! lol
@Ellen - oh, one can only think optimistically and believe it is the latter. ;)
Oh I love SkyMall!!! LOL So many useful useless things... Glad you had a good trip. I'm behind on my bloggyland adventures as well. Haven't posted since Friday (gasp!) - hope you have a great week Tex!ReplyDelete
I think it's the rust that's the most off-putting.
Denver looks fabulous! Glad you had a good trip, but glad you're back :)
I think it would be a hoot to see what the driver of this truck looks like. LOLROReplyDelete
Awesome nuts :) I'm trying to play catch up too! Darn job is getting in the way and i'm so far behind!ReplyDelete
Please don't tell me you bought something from the SkyMall lol. I love the brides dress it's so unique and pretty. Alllllmost as pretty as those nuts. KIDDING!ReplyDelete

You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion.
Co-Founder Adam here. We've been working on bags for about 12 months now. We make tools for thinkers so far, notebooks, pens, pencils and accessories. The question became how do I carry all these tools with me on a daily basis? We set out to take a fresh look at the backpack, messenger and tote. After looking inside hundreds of bags, we designed something that is minimal, made of durable canvas, and carries a clean aesthetic. Hope everyone enjoys these as much as we did creating them. Appreciate all of you here in the PH community and thanks for all your support in the past!
Michael Dilger@midi2001
@adamkornfield Does a 15 inch MacBook fit in the backpack?
@midi2001 Yes! It was designed just for that in mind
Jess Lee@jessleenyc · Co-Founder of DEV Community
@adamkornfield Looks awesome! Any interior pockets on the tote?
@jessleenyc Hey Jess! Yep! Three pockets on the inside (including one zip pocket) and one pocket on the outside!
Ulises Rojas@usrix · UX - Strategy & Research
@adamkornfield the only problem I see here is that I need to wait to get one
Paul OsetinskyHunter@osetinsky · Software Engineer
My friends at Baron Fig just released a totally new product line: Bags for Thinkers. My personal favorite is The Backpack–like their flagship notebook product, it also opens flat. Genius!
@osetinsky Paul, thanks for the props!
Raad Ahmed ⚔Hiring@r44d · Founder/CEO, LawTrades
Love that the backpack opens flat 🔑
@r44d Raad thanks man! Can't wait to get mine. A little mobile work station. LawTrades has been a big help so far as well!

What is the Best to Make Money Online?
I was always looking for a way to
make some extra money.
In the past, I made money having my own little business basically doing "hard labor". Yes, I am good at making money using my hands. The types of money making ventures included "Handy Man", "Yard Man", "Upholsterer" and a "carpenter". Always getting my hands dirty to make any kind of extra cash. So, what is the best way to make money online? Read further.
I wanted to make money on the internet. Every time I turned around, I would read articles how "everyone was making money". Quick, Easy and Fast. That "anybody" could do it! With very little work and no knowledge, I could be making money in no time. In fact, the internet advertising led me to believe that people were making big money with little or no effort and no education. They bragged that I could have a web site up and running with very little time invested and with very little effort and make big money immediately.
Yeah right! Whatever I tried, I had zero results!
I felt very stupid because I could not make it work.
So, What is the Best to Make Money Online?
Then I found Wealthy Affiliate
I Found the WealthyAffiliate.com website. Two guys, Carson and Kyle have put together a program to teach us how to do it. Their program consists of more than just "how to do it", it also includes all the tools that you need to be successful. And then to top that, they formed an entire community of people who are doing the same thing and are there to help each other out! The entire premise is to help out your fellow man and the money will follow.
I liked that Premise!
The coolest thing is that you can get started for FREE!
I want to ask you a question. Have you ever paid someone cash money for a used car without taking it for a test drive? I am sure the answer to that question is a big fat NO! A person would have to be crazy to buy a used car without a good test drive. So why should getting started in your own website business be any different. Not only will you get a "test drive" with Wealthy Affiliate, you will be able to try it as long as you want for FREE! Ok, Ok, I know you are not buying a used care here, I just wanted to set up the Analogy to show you that you can get started for Free.
Yes, you heard me right. WealthyAffiliate.com does not want to take your money without showing you what is possible and how the process works. You can sign up FREE and get started right away with no obligation. They will even let you set up your web site on their servers free of charge! I know it sounds crazy! You get to jump in and get started with no money invested at all.
I am not going to lie to you!
- It will involve time and effort!
- It will not be easy!
- It will mean working and studying hard
- It will not be easy!
- It will mean working and studying hard
But you will Have help from people who have done it before! Someone to hold your hand and walk you through the process! And when I say, hold your hand, you will have a huge team of people who will do just that!
There are four Basic Steps on
How to make money on your Website
Find your Passion
Build a Website
Attract Visitors
Earn Revenue
Let me explain each step
Find Your Passion
What is your passion? What do you think about all the time? What is that one thing that that inspires you and gets you excited when you think about it? What will your "niche market" be? This will be the start for your website and you can build your business off of it There are over 3.75 Billion People online and regardless of your "niche" choice, you can be very successful!
Our passion is House Sitting. So we went with that. We have been very successful House Sitting and feel like we have become experts on the subject. We have learned a lot over the last two years about House Sitting. We take everything we have leaned and help people. With a little of our knowledge, they are able to land those Incredible House Sits to get into House Sitting that are interested. Remember the statement from before, to help out your fellow man?
Our House Sitting site an be found here: Travel The World House Sitting
And the great thing? We have FUN with our Niche Market because it is something we absolutely love. When you choose your passion, success is much more likely to follow and it WILL follow when you are a member of Wealthy Affiliate.
Build Your Website
Wealthy Affiliate will walk you through the process step by step so don't
let this statement scare you. Even if you don't know a thing about
building a web site, they will get you through it.
It will be overwhelming at times, I did tell you that it would be WORK to do this! It won't happen in one day it will take time. Yes, they will help you get the main site up and running and looking good very quickly, but it takes time and work to post your material on your site. And the great thing is that you have thousands of people that are signed up and willing to help you with any questions you might have. Need help? Put your question up on a forum and it will be answered immediately by someone that has been there.
Your website is going to be the foundation of your business. Think of it as a "storefront" where you can generate revenue from it. There are MANY steps and techniques to do this and Wealthy Affiliate will teach you all about it. At WealthyAffiliate.com you will have access to the most advanced website and hosting platform in the world.
It is built for the most experienced entrepreneurs but also has an ease of use that even a "newbie" can thrive from.
Attract Visitors to your Website
In order to make money from your website, your goal must be to focus on getting actual people to that website. You need people in order to sell or advertise to. This is a critical aspect of your business.
What you will learn, is that this process starts very early on in your web site creation. Within the first few lessons at Wealthy Affiliate, you will be learning SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques to attract relevant customers to your website through rankings in all the search engines, like Google, Bing and Yahoo.
Earn Revenue
Now you have built your website properly step by step. You have optimized it to draw in your relevant customers to your website. The way to make money through your website Is through special programs called "affiliate programs" which are completely free to join.
With affiliate programs, you can pretty much promote any item you wish to sell. The trick is to sell items that are relevant to your Niche Market. On our website, we only promote items that we have used or come across in our House Sitting. With Affiliate Marketing, you point people to buy things from their website and you make a percentage of the sales price in commissions. There are many Affiliate Marketing Websites and you will find out about them
There you have it! The four basic steps to make money!
I am just giving you a general idea of what it takes to get started and the general idea of how things work. I put these facts in front of you honestly and tell you that these four steps are what attracted me to use WealthyAffiliates to build our own online business. I myself have a long way to go and I am learning something new every day. This is a business that does NOT happen overnight and involves a lot of time and work. However, since the niche is your passion, you will enjoy working on your website.
Building Blocks for Your Own Money Making Website
There are three "Building Blocks" to building your successful Money Making Website.
- design of the website
- monetization of the web site
- SEO of the website.
All three must be present! If any one of these is missing, you will NOT be successful with your website. Not only are all three a must, but they intertwine. They all happen together, not separately. It is easier to break them up into categories for me to explain a successful website. If one of these is missing, the builder "the man at the top" has nothing to stand on! You will learn more about these building blocks as you continue into this website.
I will promise you this
You will NOT find a way to make money online with no real work. Sure, you could pay someone else to do your work. That is not what I am talking about. Don't you think the rest of the world would be doing just that if there was a way? And if you do find a way to make instant money with very little work, PLEASE let me know about it.
I Hope I got you excited!
So, let me recap. WealthyAffiliate.com will get you started for FREE! They will give you the tools you need to get started on Creating "Your Own Money Making Website!

College Football
Betting Preview
The last season for Massachusetts in the MAC didn't end too well with the Minutemen finishing at 3-9 overall and just 2-6 in league play. Now as an independent, getting wins may be even tougher. In addition, neither side of the ball has much experience to work with.
Junior college transfer Andrew Ford is expected to get the start at quarterback, but that's by no means set, although his competition isn't much. Ford redshirted at Virginia Tech in 2014 and he's battling with sophomore Ross Comis, who attempted 21 passes a year ago. Unfortunately, all of UMass' top receivers are gone with guys like Bernard Davis and Jalen Williams (who missed all of 2015) expected to step up.
But almost the opposite of how last season went, the Minutemen may actually turn to the ground Game more after running back Marquis Young went off towards the end of the year. Young ran for 155 yards in a win at Eastern Michigan and then 240 yards and 3 TDs in an upset at Buffalo. While that's not going to be an every Game occurrence, the sophomore did average 6.3 yards per carry. Finding consistency along the offensive line will be important with three seniors starters returning.
Defense is a similar issue with some new faces and only three starters returning from 2015's group that gave up 31.4 points per Game in the MAC. At the least, the lineup is full of upperclassmen. Shane Huber takes the led at linebacker, while the return of safety Khari Bailey-Smith will be important after getting hurt early last year.
Maybe some talent is there, but this was still a defense that was one of the worst in the MAC, a Conference not known for having many good defenses.
It's unlikely UMass will do much better than a year ago, but there are a number of opportunities that stand out on the Schedule for possible wins. Those are home Games against FIU, Tulane and Wagner. But outside of those, who really knows. The Minutemen have a ton of travelling to do as an independent and that ranges from the opener at Florida to a trio of road Games to close the season at Troy, BYU and then finally Hawaii.
After only three wins in MAC play and a lot of new players in starting roles, not many good things are expected from this bunch. Three or Four wins is a good starting point, but only if Ford can do something at quarterback. And even then, reaching six wins is definitely out of the question with a subpar defense.
2016 Massachusetts Minutemen Football Schedule
Sept. 3 at Florida
Sept. 10 vs. Boston College
Sept. 17 vs. Florida International
Sept. 24 vs. Mississippi State
Oct. 1 vs. Tulane

Five celebrities who need a stylist
2. Charlie Sheen
Charlie is cocaine-delusional. He's always thought he was a winner, but his demons of drug and sex addition put him in the minus column for sure. He's a fabulous actor but couldn't handle the fame. Some of his habits are downright odd – wearing a cheap suit with a baseball cap – uncool Chas! Also, his beloved "pork pie" doesn't give him any points here. He just looks silly for crying out loud! Final negative: is the Carlie-style tattoo he got on his wrist in 2011 of the word "winning". Oh Charlie, Charlie, Charlie; grow up, send the demons away and be a man for once. Until you do, you can tattoo "Looser" across your forehead!

Today I'm guest blogging for the Arkansas Women Bloggers about two of my favorite subjects: my garden and my babies.
Every month, this fabulous group of gals picks a topic for guest submissions. When I noticed August's theme was Grow Where You Are Planted, I knew it was meant for me. Though my initial thoughts revolved around coming back to the slow-paced life I was raised in, I switched gears when inspiration struck.
Per usual, inspiration came in the form of three little faces.
As I thought about the precious seeds I've watered and tended to so carefully, I've come to realize this isn't all the growing they will do. I pray daily that when the wind sweeps them away from the comforts of home, they continue to spread their roots and grow. Not necessarily where they are planted, but in a place they're happy, warm, and free.

America - One Nation Doused by Dow Chemical and Monsanto
Herbicide-resistant superweeds threaten to overgrow U.S. fields, so agriculture companies have genetically engineered a new generation of plants to withstand heavy doses of multiple, extra-toxic weed-killing chemicals...Next-generation biotech crops erupted into controversy with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ongoing review of Enlist, a Dow-manufactured corn variety endowed with genes that let it tolerate high doses of both glyphosate, an industry-standard herbicide better known as Roundup, and a decades-old herbicide called 2,4-D...Roundup Ready varieties now account for 90 percent of U.S. soybeans and 70 percent of corn and cotton, and the pipeline for new herbicidal chemicals is mostly empty. But reliance on a single chemical came at a price: Though industry scientists predicted that weeds wouldn't become resistant to glyphosate, more than a dozen species have done exactly that. These superweeds now infest 60 million acres of U.S. farmland...

Breast Reduction
Women with breasts that are too large in relation to the size of their bodies can endure physical as well as emotional pain. Neck and back pain and sometimes the inability to breathe properly are just some of the physical effects of large breasts but the emotional and psychological effects run a lot deeper. In these cases breast reduction surgery can offer many benefits and improve the quality of life significantly.
However, men also suffer from similar issues related to enlarged breasts, and male breast reduction surgery (gynaecomastia correction) is a common course of action. Whether you're in Hawthorn or Curtin get the advice you need to make an informed decision. Should you require advice, Dr Milovic will gladly discuss the options available to you. View examples of our successful procedures in our Breast Reduction Gallery.
Breast reduction techniques
Dr Milovic uses one of the following minimal scar techniques to achieve a female breast reduction, for suitable patients:
- Lejour or "lollypop" method
The Lejour method, also known as the "lollypop" or "vertical scar lift" has two incisions, one around the areola and another vertically down from the lower edge of the areola to the crease under the breast (inframammary fold). It is very effective and produces a long lasting result with minimal scarring.
- Periareolar Sampaio-Goes method
This technique was pioneered by Dr Jaio Sampaio-Goes, a Brazilian surgeon has produced excellent results in elevating the nipple and breast tissue, as well as less scarring than the traditional inferior pedicle method. This breast lift involves only one incision around the areola and will be suitable in selected cases, depending on your anatomy and goals.
- The inverted "T" or "anchor" method
For women with extremely large breasts, the inverted T or anchor method may be more appropriate. The nipple areolar complex can be suspended on the superior medial pedicle, and the skin and gland is redraped with an anchor type closure. This technique results in a vertical and horizontal scar. Dr Milovic will rarely use this method of breast reduction and only in selected cases. Dr Milovic prefers the Lejour method for large breast reduction procedures, which results in minimal scarring, where appropriate.
Start a conversation with the staff at our Malvern, Melbourne and Deakin, Canberra clinics to find out if a breast reduction is suitable for you.

The Nashville, Tennessee area has grown in population over the last ten years at a rate that is almost hard to fathom. Interstates are widening from four lanes to six and the choices of where to eat and shop are endless. Photographers move here almost as often as wanna be country music singers, but with a camera instead of a guitar. One advantage about all the photographers moving here is the networking aspect. I belong to a photography group called "Shoot To Kill". Yes, you heard me right. Please don't contact homeland security, as we are solely talking about capturing the best shots possible. =)
Tennessee has some beautiful country and amazing wedding venues. One of my favorites is Homestead Manor that is literally up the road from where I live. Once a month, the "Shoot To Kill" group meets at a different wedding venue with real life couples and/or professional models. This is a way for us to network with other photographers and work one on one with couples and models. We practice interacting, posing, lighting, guiding and learning new camera techniques. A photographer can choose to work with one couple the whole time or different couples. I personally like to work with different personalities and body types. The couples, models and venues receive the photographs for letting us capture them.
