To share or not to share
Note: The following blog post has been contributed by Ruth Hannan, Policy and Development Manager at Carers Trust
To share or not to share (with apologies to William Shakespeare): that is the question; or at least that has been the question that Carers Trust has been asked to answer by Dame Fiona Caldicott as part of the Caldicott Committee review on information sharing.
If you ask any six year old across the land their responses will more than likely to be "yes, sharing is good". We're brought up being told by our parents to share; share our toys, share our sweets or share our seat; although most six year olds through gritted teeth would agree to share their sweets in principle we grow up understanding that it is the kind and right thing to do.
Charlotte Bronte said "Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste"; Bronte captures the value concept that we adhere to perfectly. Sharing is good for us and those around us; however when we begin to discuss information sharing the clarity becomes more blurred.
In 1997 the Chief Medical Officer for England commissioned a report on how patient information should be shared; this was due to concerns being expressed about the sharing of patient information and the rise of information technology which allowed for the easier dissemination of this information. Dame Fiona Caldicott chaired the committee whose findings were published in the Caldicott Report at the end of 1997. The report highlighted a number of key principles and made of a number of recommendations.
In February it was announced that there was to be a review of information sharing; specifically looking at striking a balance between patient confidentiality and information sharing.
Confidentiality and information sharing are thorny issues for many carers, especially mental health carers; this is one of the main reasons why Carers Trust took the lead on the Triangle of Care project to promote the benefits of carer inclusion in the sharing of information.
I (on behalf of Carers Trust) was therefore naturally delighted to submit written and oral evidence to the Caldicott Review Committee this week. We focussed on the need for clarity and simplification of the guidance on confidentiality and information sharing, ensuring that patients and service users are asked about information sharing so that their wishes are clear, clarity on the rights and needs of carers to be given non-confidential information and supported in their own right irrespective of the service user's wishes and most crucially that staff are trained to be confident in the use of information sharing and confidentiality guidance.
The oral session was very positive and included a variety of carers, carers' organisations; specialised service user groups i.e. Combat Stress and those affected by domestic abuse and members of the committee. There was a general sense that information sharing is a positive thing and aids recovery so long as this is done with a patient's permission or if they are not able in their best interests.
We hope that the findings of the committee will lead to more informed and confident information sharing which will work in the best interests of both service users and carers.

"I've had the extreme pleasure of working with MediaTechGuy periodically since 1995. Their dedication to excellence, giving their clients what they need and want, and always being budget conscience has made them a valuable asset to any project. I look forward to working with them again in the future and I highly recommend others to do the same."

The finest diet regimen is the one that works finest with your way of living, your spending plan, your food preferences and exactly how much initiative you want to give.
One of the more enjoyable aspects of my work is that whenever I meet a brand-new weight-loss customer, I never know where the discussion will lead. Normally, I'll start by getting some history. I would like to know just what's the many as well as the least they've ever before evaluated, what motivates them to eat much better and get into shape, and likewise what's worked for them in the past and also what hasn't already– that type of point. From there, I could start to obtain a feeling for what does it cost? initiative each specific person is ready to present and also what their expectations are. We come up with a plan for their ideal diet regimen. However I cannot simply inform somebody just what they should do– I require to aid them determine just how they're mosting likely to do it, too. We collaborate to identify just what's mosting likely to be the very best diet plan for them.
Does one size fit all?
When it boils down to it, there's no "one size fits all" diet strategy. Everyone is different, as well as I need to take into consideration not simply an individual's food suches as well as disapproval, I also have to know just what their day resembles– if they like to cook or not, if the cost of food is an issue, what time they exercise, just how commonly they eat in restaurants (and where). There are an entire host of elements that I have to consider prior to I can give somebody significant advice.
Need to you tackle a lot at once?
Then I need to consider just what my clients want– or think they want. Some people choose a relatively stringent technique– commonly, actually, making a decision to deal with a whole lot at the same time. I have actually had a lot of customers who've determined to concurrently try to reduce weight, begin exercising as well as quit smoking cigarettes. It's a great deal to take on, but it could function. Perhaps it's the concept of cleaning the slate clean and making an absolutely fresh begin– kind of a "today is the very first day of the rest of your life" perspective. Often when you're servicing one point, it can enhance the various other modifications you're aiming to make– as in, "If I'm going to work out, it doesn't make much sense to maintain smoking cigarettes."
When taking on also much doesn't work, it's normally since the process becomes frustrating. There are simply way too many adjustments entailed and also a lot of modifications to be made. After that people tend to simply surrender, and absolutely nothing gets accomplished.
Or, are you one to take points even more slowly?
On the various other hand, there are those who take a more cautious strategy. They such as to dip their toes into the water and see exactly what feels. They could make a few adjustments to establish them on the ideal course, obtain those quite well developed right into their daily life and afterwards relocate on to make a few more. Gradually in time, they gather a pretty impressive list of diet plan as well as way of living modifications. Since they have actually offered themselves a chance to allow them settle in, they're usually in respectable shape to continue.
Identifying what works for YOU will certainly assist you build a healthy and balanced diet plan and also way of living plan
The point is this: There are lots of paths that lead to the very same location. Some are short as well as direct, others may meander a bit. As well as neither is always far better than the other.
Just as I perform with my customers, you require to consider what you genuinely could do. If you hate cooking or just do not have the time, does it make feeling to adopt a diet regimen that needs you to home-cook every dish? If you cannot bear in mind the last time you ate a fruit or a veggie, is it practical to believe that you'll unexpectedly begin eating 7 portions a day? Maybe not.
But remember this: The method you opt to consume, the amount of task you obtain, the lifestyle selections you make are your own– you have them. And also you additionally should approve that the results you obtain will be a straight reflection of just how much effort you present. The tougher you operate at it, the much better the outcomes. That doesn't suggest that slow and stable can't win the race, too. Since the finest diet regimen isn't really the one somebody else tells you to comply with– the most effective diet is the one that helps you.

South China Sea: Hanoi and Manila Are Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place
While talks of Chinese retaliation in the South China Sea (SCS) may inflame Cold War imaginations, Washington and Beijing are not necessarily the relevant actors in the next phase of Freedom Of Navigation Operations (FONOP) in the region. For clues on the future of FONOPS, look to Hanoi and Manila.
The FONOP conducted by the U.S. Navy in the Spratly islands (around Subi reef in particular) on October 26 substantiated the position asserted by senior U.S. Navy officials and Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter over the past few months. But the apparent election of an "innocent passage" operation by U.S. officials generated confusion as to its legal rationale: Is the objective to assert the right of "innocent passage" for warships without prior authorization? Or is it to contest the recognition of reclaimed features and Low-Tide Elevations (LTE) as islands with a twelve nautical mile territorial sea under customary international law?
While the first question hinges on the interpretation of Article 19 of the United Nation Convention on Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the second pertains to the legal nature of LTEs and reclaimed islands under Articles 13 and 60. But perhaps the U.S. – China legal quagmire is not the operation's main take-away. The FONOP allegedly targeted Vietnamese and Filipino occupied islands and features as well. Its impact on these parties is more complex: It manifests U.S. commitment but also exposes these stakeholders' excessive claims.
In the context of escalating SCS land reclamation efforts, the United States is faced with a series of unappealing options: action or inaction, unilateral or multilateral. Now that the first option was "called", the next phase will hinge on neighboring countries' position on FONOPS.
Under U.S. policy, these operations are a means of contesting excessive territorial claims under international law, as reflected in UNCLOS. Ironically, the U.S. is both UNCLOS' champion and "enfant terrible": enforcing it on the one hand and refusing to ratify it on the other. While usually conducted by the U.S. Navy alone, the SCS stakes are such that third party participation could become a critical asset.
Phase one: Unilateral operation - U.S. Navy as sole enforcer of the law of the seas
The legal impact of the October 26 operation remains ambiguous. U.S. officials referred to an exercise of the right of "innocent passage", which would imply the recognition of a territorial sea under UNCLOS Article 19. This is inconsistent with the nature of Subi reef, which qualifies as an LTE under Article 13, and therefore does not enjoy a twelve nautical mile territorial sea. In any case, the issue is moot in that the U.S. does not take any position on the sovereignty of these islands and features.
Despite confusing wording, the end objective is probably to characterize the waters around Subi reef as the high seas, as opposed to a twelve nautical mile territorial sea surrounding islands under UNCLOS Article 121. The aim is to make China's land reclamation efforts legally void pursuant to Article 13(2): "Where a low-tide elevation is wholly situated at a distance exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea from the mainland or an island, it has no territorial sea of its own."
The FONOP's challenge of Vietnamese and Filipino claims legally operates in a similar manner. Both countries have publicly stated their official support for FON on multiple occasions, stopping short of any material commitment (U.S. - Filipino meeting in August 2015; India - Vietnam joint communiqué in September 2014).
But their official endorsement of FON does not entail the lapse of their claims. If the October 26 FONOP is construed as an "innocent passage" under Article 19, then Subi reef qualifies as an island with a twelve nautical mile territorial sea. Legal clarification and third party participation is therefore instrumental in making the FONOPS effective.
Phase two: Joint operation – Toward an SCS FON "task-force"
Both Japan and Australia are hinted at as potential participants in joint FONOPS with the U.S. Navy, although not specifically within the twelve nautical mile limit of contested features in the SCS. More important is other SCS claimants' willingness to participate. This would strengthen the following legal principle: China's behavior does not confer customary international law value to its claims under the nine-dash-line.
From a public relations perspective, the addition of one or several parties would constitute a legitimizing factor to induce China to clarify its claims and accept the jurisdiction of international tribunals. The timely award on jurisdiction and admissibility by the tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) provides renewed impetus to confront Chinese territorial claims under international law.

My new love embraces me with the freedom to speak.
The words just roll off my tongue.
It ignites in me a fiery passionate unparalleled to the sun.
It takes my pain and allows me to breathe.
It unburdened me; removes the clasp of hurt off the edges of my heart.
My emotions become one with it and a sense of liberation is at hand.
Such a strong bond created when I decided to rely on it; to save me; to comfort me.
The consolation I have always sought; I have finally found it.
Who knew it was there all along. Just waiting for me to realize it was always there.
Even when I have nothing else, it is there.
Lying in wait—patiently.
My dream; my writing.

The following is a dialogue between me and my Trusted Source brought out through centering and meditation, tapping into my intuitive self, the part of myself that knows all of the answers to all of the questions I have. I then begin typing out the dialogue with faith, knowing that the feeling of love and calmness within is the sign that I am truly communicating with my Trusted Source. This written channeling technique is a similar process used by Neale Donald Walsch in writing Conversations With God.
Me: What is it like to see yourself through the eyes of Unconditional Love?
T Source: When you see yourself through the eyes of Unconditional Love, you see everything you do as perfect and complete. You never get anything wrong, because no thing is ever "wrong," only further development of knowing, further development of what you want. You gain clarity.
Me: How about the Love part of Unconditional Love?
T Source: That is the Love part, having non-judgment about yourself, thoughts and actions, no matter what you do, is Love in it's finest. To let yourself just be, to be there with yourself and smile, without judgment, is Love with no conditions.
Me: So what is it like to do it for yourself?
T Source: Think about the times when you felt you were at your worst. As you think those thoughts maybe you feel embarrassment and humiliation, maybe you want to shake your head to shake it off. Think of all those times that you say to yourself, "I shouldn't have done that!"
Should-ing is judgment, which leads to not allowing the full expression of Who You Are. You do not see the perfection of your unfolding. Now see and accept the purpose of these moments, go through them in your mind, and embrace them and yourself with Unconditional Love.
Me: I feel tension
T Source: Yes, because there is resistance to accepting. You still judge yourself and those actions.
Me: What do I do?
T Source: Simply accept and love that judging part of yourself as well. The purpose is not to get rid of your ego. You will never get rid of the ego, the part that judges, the part that needs to survive and creates systems of judgment because it believes survival is the goal.
Slowly begin to teach your ego that survival is not the goal, living to your full expression of Who You Really Are is the goal. Surviving is merely that, surviving. "Living To The Fullest" is more than surviving. It is what you came here to do. Do you see how that works?
Me: Yes, I am embracing and holding the part of me that judges with love right now, and it feels good, peaceful. I picture this part as a younger version of me, maybe adolescence?
T Source: Yes, that part of you was taught that when you were younger. You felt you needed to internalize and use systems of judgment that others taught you because you needed to survive. And even that is okay. That is a part of your life that deserves Unconditional Love the most.
Me: But why am I learning this so late?
T Source: Are you?
Me: I'm 43-years old.
T Source: Yes you are. But look at your experiences, all that you've done. Are you saying it should have been different?
Me: No, when I really think about it. No, not really. The only period I feel like I really kept myself in the dark was right before I learned about the Law of Attraction, and only at work. But that disconnect from Source really affected a lot of other parts of my life.
T Source: When you were desperate for financial success, you were looking outside yourself to feel better about the turmoil you created. But being connected to Source has better feelings of success and security attached to it.
You've said it yourself: " Things working out and staying connected to Source are the same exact thing. And to not have it work out if you remain connected to Source is impossible." The physical manifestations of success are not separate than your connection to Source. They are the same.
Me: Unconditional Love is staying in touch with Source then, and remaining committed to feeling peace and joy in my life. Is this correct?
T Source: Yes, committing to unconditionally loving yourself, to feeling that joy even after you've taken in the contrast of unwanted events – isn't that a wonderful way to live life?
Me: Yes
T Source: Guidance, inspiration, intuition, and stretching out with your feelings of love. Love that is first directed at yourself, and then having faith at the outcome. That is a wonderful way to let things unfold for you. That is why you became an artist, to practice your intuition before you decided to devote yourself to your connection to Source.
Me: I understand
T Source: So go and live your life with the operating principal of being in touch with your spiritual energetic Self, because that is Who You Really Are. That is seeing yourself through the eyes of Unconditional Love.

Actually, Cabrini Green was 3607 units and housed around 15,000 people at its peak. Also, it was public housing, not workforce housing. Mayor's comment was inflammatory and uncalled for. His argument about "packing poor people" was specious given his strong support for the same type of project using LIHTC funds (if awarded) being proposed by the Housing Authority.

Well, I didn't think we had any tomatoes showing yet. All I saw were the yellow blooms. But while watering the almost-waist-high plants last night, I spotted a few in hiding. So today I took their picture.
I took a picture last night also, but they look like little aliens. Here's the night view:
Seeing those baby green tomatoes was a great surprise! Which makes me wonder what God's got in the works for all of us … and we just don't know it yet…
Right when we think there's absolutely nothing good growing in our lives — He surprises us! And then we realize He's been working behind the scenes all along. And, actually, out in front too, just maybe a little hidden, but there nonetheless. ; )
Okay. I've once again caught up with my blog postings. Good night and sweet dreams, everyone! : )

RMAN Repository Upgrade 101
I know, I'm the last DBA on the planet who still uses and RMAN repository. Perhaps it's somewhat of a throwback, but there are situations where having one will save time recovering a database, and since I have to keep a database running for Enterprise Manager anyways, I just stick it there with that database. No extra maintenance, just extra insurance. Regardless, I upgraded my EM database to 22.214.171.124 and began receiving complaints when connecting to the catalog from an 126.96.36.199 database:
connected to recovery catalog database
PL/SQL package RCAT_USER.DBMS_RCVCAT version 11.02.00.01 in RCVCAT database is not current
PL/SQL package RCAT_USER.DBMS_RCVMAN version 11.02.00.01 in RCVCAT database is not current
Been down this road before
I connect to the recovery catalog, and type upgrade catalog (twice). Error.
error creating set_site_key_for_single_site_dbs
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: ORA-00001:
unique constraint (RMAN.SITE_TFATT_P) violated
Great. I think every time I've tried to upgrade the catalog in 11g there's been some kind of error. This one was easy enough to find on My Oracle Support: Note 1221983.1 covers it well. The fix? Basically, manually edit $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/recover.bsq and correct their sql:
update site_tfatt set site_key = onesite_row.site_key where
tf_key in (select tf_key from df, dbinc
where dbinc.dbinc_key = df.dbinc_key
and dbinc.db_key = onesite_row.db_key);
update site_tfatt set site_key = onesite_row.site_key where
tf_key in (select tf_key from tf, dbinc
where dbinc.dbinc_key = tf.dbinc_key
and dbinc.db_key = onesite_row.db_key);
We all make typos right?
This error is well documented, and easy to find. There's nothing too alarming about it, except that this code could never have worked. Meaning, Oracle shipped code with their latest, flagship product, which somehow failed quality control in the grandest fashion. It's not some obscure combination of events which cause a blip in database performance or throw an error. It's code which could not ever work, could not ever be right. It's not some recent acquisition, some 3rd party conversion product which 7 people are interested in. It's RMAN! It's been around forever. Makes me wonder, what else is wrong with this version of RCVCAT/RCVMAN?

It's been such a busy week between Easter and my mom's birthday, I don't have any deep insights for you today. But, I have been working hard and having fun, so I still have a few things to throw at ya!
- I got to represent the freelance option to language and communication students attending a departmental career expo at Georgetown University on Tuesday. What fun! Everyone had such good questions. I'll share pictures soon.
- I've been translating articles for an academic journal for the past couple weeks, and had a sort of out-of-body experience. By that I mean, on reading through the translation one last time, I didn't recognize the writing as my own. I consider that a win!
- We have a fun potential project in the works at the NCATA that may give you the chance to get a taste of our monthly meet-ups from the comfort of your home, near or far (and good timing, too—our next one is about how to make ProZ work for you! Who wouldn't want to know?!). Look for it at the end of the month, fingers crossed.
- Here on the blog, I'm working on a fun series to introduce you to the many talented linguists here in the nation's capital region, from Maryland to Virginia. Are you excited yet?
What have you been up to lately? Do you do weekly check-ins with yourself, too?

Volume TwoThe first two albums by England's legendary Soft Machine, originally released in 1968 and 1969, remain among the most innovative and influential releases of that musically fertile era. These seminal LPs offered a visionary psychedelic-progressive-jazz-rock mix that helped to make the Soft Machine one of Britain's first significant underground bands, as well as a key force in the birth of both progressive rock and jazz-rock.
A product of the same fabled Canterbury scene that spawned such beloved cult acts as Caravan and Hatfield and the North, the Soft Machine was the rare art-rock combo whose members possessed the instrumental skills to execute their ambitious musical ideas, as well as a playful sense of humor that balanced the band's complex compositions and adventurous improvisations. By the time they began making albums, the Soft Machine was already a sensation in the budding U.K. rock underground, thanks to their now-legendary performances at such fabled London clubs as the UFO, the Speakeasy and Middle Earth, where they shared stages with the likes of Pink Floyd and Tomorrow.
The aptly titled Volume Two introduced a retooled Soft Machine lineup, with Wyatt and Ratledge joined by bassist Hugh Hopper, an old Canterbury friend who had guested on the first album. The sophomore disc finds the threesome moving towards a more explicitly jazz-influenced sound, with an increased emphasis on instrumental material. The album is bookended by a pair of extended compositions, Rivmic Melodies and Esther's Nose Job, which are broken up into shorter individual tracks bearing whimsically arbitrary titles. That approach was suggested to the band by Frank Zappa, whose Mothers of Invention album Absolutely Free was reportedly an influence on Volume Two.

|MadSci Network: Chemistry
As quickly as possible. I have a science experiment and my results came out kind of jumpy, they support my hypothesis, but at certain points there are unusual shifts, my opinion being the seemingly fault measuring devices. Any comments as to the truth behind my hypothesis would be helpful. All of these are in reguard to a daniel cell made of a half cell of ZnSO4 (aq) and a half cell of CuSO4(aq), with corresponding metal electrodes linked by a salt bridge of saturated NH4NO3(aq) under normal temperature and pressure, with 1M solutions. 1) The rise in temperature will yield a rise in current and slight rise in voltage. 2) As the solutions become more concentrated(.01M, .1M, .5M, 1M, 2M) there will be a proportional rise in current and moderate rise in voltage. 3)As the electrodes surface area grow there will be a proportional rise in current and no rise in voltage. Thanks. Bob.

PARIS - Chelsea travel to Switzerland to face FC Basel in the Champions League on Tuesday knowing that a point will be enough to seal their place in the last 16.
Last year, as reigning European champions, the Blues were eliminated in the group stage, but while they have not always convinced since the return to the dugout of Jose Mourinho, they have seized control of Group E since a shock home defeat to Basel in September.
That 2-1 loss at Stamford Bridge has been followed by comprehensive victories away to Steaua Bucharest and twice against Schalke, Mourinho's men rattling in 10 goals and conceding none in those games to sit three points clear of the Germans at the top of the section.
As they return to the St Jakob-Park, scene of a 2-1 win in the first leg of last season's Europa League semi-final in April, Chelsea will be looking to extend a run of just one defeat in 13 matches in all competitions.
They were convincing 3-0 winners away to West Ham United on Saturday, a result that left them in third place in the Premier League and eased concerns about their away form, which had previously been patchy.
Veteran midfielder Frank Lampard scored twice against his former club at the weekend and now he is looking forward to gaining revenge on Basel following that September shocker.
"The great thing about that game is it's a bit of a distant memory now, because of results since then," Lampard told Chelsea TV.
"It wasn't easy to go and win three on the bounce and we still have a bit more to do. We can put the record straight on Tuesday.

From: The Technological Elimination of Pain is Both Feasible and Possible by Ben Goertzel, Institute for Ethics & Emerging Technologies, http://ieet.org
The English word "pain" refers, primarily, to a subjective experience — the experience of something hurting. But this experience isn't a simple, indecomposable thing — it's actually a complex experience with multiple layers. Understanding the prospect of abolishing pain, involves carefully distinguishing these layers.
To abolish, or drastically reduce, our experience of pain, we will need to deal with pain in terms of its neural and cognitive correlates. Subjective experiences — qualia — are different from neural or cognitive structures or dynamics. But there are correlations. For instance, deep thought correlates with the neocortex — if you remove it, the person doesn't think deeply anymore. The feeling of reminiscence correlates with cognitive structures related to emotion and episodic memory, and with neural regions such as the limbic system and the neocortex. And so forth.
What are the neural and cognitive correlates of the experience of pain?

This is what I looked like at 6am today.
Because I can only run shorter distances during the week, it is very important to make all of my runs productive. The recovery/slow runs are just as important as this dreaded tempo run. A tempo run is done at a faster pace than marathon pace. My tempo run pace should be between 7:13min/mile and 7:30 min/mile, or faster. I use my 15k PR with this calculator to figure out my target paces:
I woke up at 5 this morning in hopes that the heat had broken. It had not. It was 75 and muggy. I DESPISE running in the heat (I'm not good at it- hence the fall marathon choice), and even more so at a tempo pace. But I set off for my 6 miles of soupy agony. .5 miles in Garmin FINALLY found his satelites (so annoying!), and told me I was going at a 6:52 min/mile pace. I kept that up for 2 miles, passed a man and decided to smoke him with a 6:40 min/mile (I'm sure he was super impressed as I panted like a dog by him), and finished the last three at a 7:02 pace. Halfway in I was ready for tomorrow's easy run.
I am completely drained after this, but these are what is going to make me faster- if that is possible. So bring it on, tempo runs. And water. I need water!

Moving crap across the country sucks.
2011/08/31 § 1 Comment
I just (and I mean just) moved from the Hidden Valley to the Big Apple, and my official opinion is this: moving sucks. Packing is awful and just one lightweight t-shirt can change your bag from 48 to 52 lbs. but when you take it out it's then 44, and hauling stuff up and down stairs and in and out of cars is never fun, and…the list goes on.
I consciously thought of this move as the move, the one where you really move out of your mom's house and don't plan on coming back. I'm not sure if everyone else did, but I was all about getting as much stuff out as possible because I didn't want to feel as if I had a second place to go back to, a second home if you will. This is absurd for a couple of reasons:
One, 3010 is, has been, and will forever be my home full stop. Ridiculous to think that would ever change. I blame it on pre-move insanity.
Two, I have SO MUCH STUFF it would be impossible for me to get it all out at once. Probably why my parentals were not as concerned that I was never coming back.
In all seriousness, I tried very hard to get my crap outta there. My chest of drawers is empty…with the exception of one that had stuff I couldn't get in my bags, but didn't want to put in the donate pile. My closet is empty of clothes…mostly. With the exception of some sweatshirts I just couldn't bear to get rid of. My bathroom drawers are empty at the very least!…but the cabinets? Not so much.
Then we come to my books. I have approximately a gazillion. (I said approximately). Yes, I've read most of them, yes I'd know if they were missing, yes, they are organized, and no, I don't want to give any away. End of discussion.
And now, having lived in my new place for two whole weeks I thought I didn't want any more of my stuff, and told Mom to forget sending the last box, even though I couldn't remember what was in it. And when she told me, I flipped that I didn't have it (in my defense, I had wondered where some of it was, thereby validating the flip out. I blame the move for forgetting what was in the box in the first place).
Why do we do this to ourselves? The accumulation of stuff and the moving it from place to place just to have it sit in one corner and then the next. As I'm becoming more aware of this, I'm paying more attention to what I use and what I don't, what I look at on a daily basis and what is just collecting dust.
Maybe I can start a new habit of really knowing what is in my space, and what's just taking it up.
§ One Response to Moving crap across the country sucks.
I know what you mean!!

Dr. Breanne C Briskey has the following 2 specialties
- Psychiatry
A psychiatrist is a doctor with specific training in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness.
He or she can not only provide the counseling necessary to both diagnose and treat a patient, but can also prescribe medication when needed. In some cases, a psychiatrist will only provide the medication and the counseling will be provided by another healthcare specialist, like a certified counselor or psychologist.
Like other doctors, psychiatrists employ diagnostic tools like CT scans and MRI in order to observe the structure and function of a patient's brain.
Once a diagnosis is made, these specialists may use behavior or cognitive therapy in order to address the patient's condition, or a multitude of other types of therapy, in conjunction with or in place of medication.
- Neurology
A neurologist is a physician who diagnoses and treats disorders of the nervous system which is comprised of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. These doctors do not perform surgery, but refer patients to neurological surgeons when they determine that surgical intervention is necessary.
Some of the conditions that neurologists diagnose and treat are epilepsy, aneurysms, hydrocephalus, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal disc herniation, and spinal disease.
In addition to using diagnostic tests like MRI, CT scans, EEG and EMG, neurologists also employ neurological testing to gauge muscle strength and movement, balance, reflexes, sensation, memory, speech, and other cognitive abilities.

E. C. Cyr and S. D. Bond, Using the Method of Weighted Residuals to
Compute Potentials of Mean Force, Journal of Computational Physics,
225:714-729, 2007.
We propose a general framework for approximating the potential of mean force (PMF) along a reaction
coordinate in conformational space. This framework, based on the method of weighted residuals, can
be viewed as a generalization of thermodynamic integration and direct histogram methods.
Using weighted residuals allows for higher-order approximations to the PMF in the form of a global
spectral method or a finite element method. In addition, the higher degree of continuity provided
by spectral and higher-order elements makes weighted residual methods an attractive choice for
use in tandem with biasing force methods. As an analysis tool, the weighted residuals framework
provides a context for direct comparison of thermodynamic integration and histogram based methods.
For validation of the new method,
numerical experiments are performed on two systems:
a simple double-well and alanine dipeptide in vacuum.
Comparisons between the new weighted residual methods, thermodynamic integration, and
WHAM are performed.
When configuration space is perfectly sampled the high-order weighted residual methods are found to
exhibit exponential convergence. For more realistic sampling, the weighted residual methods performed
comparably to the other two. However, results suggest that spectral type methods are more robust
with respect to parameter choices describing the solution space.

Saturday's Three Stars: Kreider powers Rangers; Quick comes up big again
No. 1 Star: Chris Kreider, New York Rangers
The rookie forward wore the Rangers' Broadway Hat after the game for his big performance during their 3-1 Game 1 victory over the Washington Capitals. Six games into his NHL career and just weeks removed from winning a national championship with Boston College, Kreider broke a 1-1 deadlock seven minutes into the third period for his second game-winning goal this week:

I am not usually a huge fan of open shelving in the kitchen…but somehow this kitchen just does it for me. The crisp simplicity just makes me want to sit at that island for hours. It seems incredibly easy to re-create too…hmmm brain wheels are turning.

Part three of my Lenormand rambles, this one all about talking 🙂
12 – The Birds
The birds chirp and make noise, it's what (most) birds do. And this card is about talking, making noise, using your voice. It can be singing, talking, anything to do with vocalizing. It's also a conversation, and I don't see any reason why non-verbal speech, such as sign language shouldn't be included here. It's still talking 🙂 The point here is the communication between two or a few people, as long as it's in person (as opposed to the letter, which is in writing) or talking on the phone. Gossip, small talk, chit chat.
27 – The Letter
Any messages that are put in writing, like letters, shopping lists, receipts, emails, telegrams… and morse code, I suppose? This can also be a conversation, as long as it's written. Like passing notes back and forth in class 😛
1 – The Rider
I'm including this here because, like the letter, it can mean a message, but it can also be a package, something delivered by a courier. And sending packages back and forth counts as communication, right? 🙂

The NYTimes editorial page on the governor of California's recent lawsuit: Whiplash
Mr. Schwarzenegger has every right to claim full legal ownership of himself and his image as an actor and to guard it jealously against infringement. It's a little tougher for him to do so as a politician. A company cannot legally make money by selling ordinary Schwarzenegger merchandise without his permission. But it can do so if something is done to the image to make it satirical or a commentary. That's something political figures have to learn to live with.
For the governor, this bobblehead case may be the first clear indication that he has crossed an invisible line from one kind of public life to another. As a politician, he belongs to the people now, especially if they're making fun of him.

So after 17 weeks and two weeks of playoffs, we've reached the final four of the NFL. In the NFC corner we can find the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. In the AFC corner are the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers. There's a lot to like about these teams, the story lines heading into the games, and the potential of each Super Bowl match up. With all of that in mind let's take a look at tomorrow's games and allow me to provide my predictions.
NFC: Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears
This one has all the makings of an epic playoff battle. The Bears and Packers are two of the oldest franchises in the NFL and their rivalry dates back to before the modern era. These teams and fan bases hate one another. This is like Browns-Steelers or Cowboys-Redskins. What's surprising is that this is only the second time these two teams have ever met in the playoffs and the previous time was 70 some years ago. That in and of itself is remarkable, but it's probably due more to the fact that when one team is good the other usually sucks.
The Packers are the odds on favorite to win this game. They have the hottest player in football right now with Aaron Rodgers and appear to be peaking at the right time. They have an explosive offense that has done nothing but put up points all season long…except against the Bears defense. Interesting… very interesting.
A lot of people feel like this game will be lopsided in favor of the Packers. I don't see that. The Bears have shown twice this year that they are able to handle the Packers vaunted offensive attack. The real question is whether or not Jay Cutler and the Bears offense can avoid the big mistake and contain Clay Matthews rushing from the outside. Over the second half of the season the Bears offense has shown an ability to put up big numbers and avoid mistakes thanks to a new found focus on Matt Forte and the running game. To the benefit of everyone involved, offensive coordinator Mike Martz has realized that this isn't the greatest show on turf and that a more conservative offensive approach is the way to go.
The X factor as always will be the return skills of Devin Hester. Green Bay needs to find a way to prevent him from having any big returns. Hester has the ability to put points on the board, alter the field position battle, and in one play can complete swing momentum. On a big stage like this I wouldn't be surprised is he takes one to the house. It's what he does. Expect the Packers to kick away from him.
So where does that leave us? We have everyone's darling in the Packers versus a team no one trusts in the Bears. I think the elements and the crappy state of the field will play more into the hands of the Bears. I also think their ability to stop Green Bay plays into their hands. They know they can do it, so why not a third time? The clincher though is I don't expect them to let their most hated rival walk into Soldier Field and win the George Hallas Trophy as the NFC champ. The Bears have too much pride for that to happen. My prediction: a defensive slugfest with the Bears outlasting the Packers 17-10.
AFC: New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Ugh with a side of ugh. That's what this game is. In one corner we have the blowhard Rex Ryan and stone hands Braylon Edwards. In the other we have the Pittsburgh Steelers. There is no clear cut choice here in who to root for. When you get down to it, I will be rooting against whoever wins this game.
The Jets are coming off of the second biggest win in franchise history against the Patriots. Mark Sanchez is playing extremely well and the Jets, much like the Packers, look like they are peaking at just the right time. They are clicking on both sides of the ball in every way imaginable and finally look like they are backing up all the trash talking they were doing back in August. They are a very scary team right now.
The Steelers survived another war with the Ravens last week. Unlike the Jets there are deeper issues to be found with the Steelers. To say they are banged up right now would be an understatement. There offensive line has been decimated by injuries and their leader on defense, Troy Polumalu, is nursing an injury to his Achilles heal. That's not good. If Pittsburgh wants a chance to beat the Jets, they're going to need to sure up their offensive line and Polumalu needs to be on the field for every play making Mark Sanchez as uncomfortable as possible.
Other than that the Steelers come in just as you would expect. Led by Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers should be in the game until the very end. Despite all of his transgressions off the field, you can't deny the impact he has on it. He makes big plays in big games and if you're asking me to pick between him and Sanchez, well I'm taking Big Ben. He has a resume that is comparable with some of the greats and he keeps getting better as he enters his prime. As much as I hate him and the rest of the Steelers, I respect them and the things they continue to accomplish.
So what can we expect? This game should be a slugfest much like last weeks game between the Steelers and Ravens. Can Pittsburgh survive another beating like that? Oddly enough I think they can. Despite the fact that the Jets are playing so well, I think they played almost too well last week. Can they duplicate that performance again? I don't think so. Did they lay too much importance in beating the Patriots? I think yes. We all saw the celebration and the heard the interviews. That was their Super Bowl. Pittsburgh on the other hand has their eyes focused on the prize at the end. I expect the Jets to come out flat and the Steelers defense to make Sanchez look human, Tomlinson look old, and Edwards to drop passes like he's a Brown again. I'm taking the Steelers 27-13
And there we go. My Super Bowl prediction is the Chicago Bears versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I know that most of you reading this blog are DONATION users, but you may know some users of the GiftWorks program in other organizations. GiftWorks (™ FrontStream Payments) was fairly recently acquired from Mission Research. They upped the prices a lot, and my understanding is that they are forcing people to pay by turning off the ability to use their older versions of GiftWorks.
As a result, I have had a number of inquiries from GiftWorks users wanting to switch to another program, perhaps DONATION. While GiftWorks has more features that DONATION, as usual many users don't need all of those features.
Two GiftWorks users were kind enough to share their databases with me, so I could develop and test a converter from their database to DONATION's database. That has now been released, in version 3.54. It converts the donors, donations, and donation categories.
So, if you know anyone who is using GiftWorks and wants to switch, please do tell them about this. More details are on the www.software4nonprofits.com/switch.htm page, including a link to the web version of the Help page on the conversion.

why this
I love to write, write, and write!!! I chose this blog to write my desires in rite form. It's time to take inventory. Why am I really doing this now? Yea, yea, I need to lose weight. I've struggled in that area a good part of my life. I'm a people pleaser. Is it for their happiness or is it to feed my need for validation? I want to be loved, accepted, appreciated, and accomplish the feeling of success in my personal life. Who doesn't? I've noticed that when I pour out my heart and it's long and boring, there is hardly any (spam) comments at the end of the day on my site. When I keep it at a level of much fewer words, I do see some (spam) comments. With my obsessive malady, I keep checking the computer for what people say about my site. SNAP OUT OF IT! Do a daily journal on your diet dilemmas for yourself!
