The Love Exhibit celebrates human relationships. The Rejection Exhibit casts a critical eye on society. The Horizons exhibit both celebrates previous IndieCade awards recipients and highlights a new wave of games.
The designers and developers of these games, individuals or small teams independent of large studios and publishers, take daring creative risks to explore new forms and methods of play.
Three days of talks covering topics ranging from getting started with independent development to theories of play, as well as discussions of the future of the medium its creators. Plus, workshops for novices and experienced developers alike with topics ranging from crowdfunding to prototyping.
We want to acknowledge established independent developers along with those who are not as well known, be they newcomers looking to find their voices or veterans who have not been given their due attention.

HOWTO: Get 3D desktop working after install
So your 3D desktop is broke, but it worked just fine with the livecd/dvd
Well in theory what you see is what you get when you install sabayon linux, so if 3D desktop was working with the livecd/dvd it should follow through and work when you boot into your fresh new install. Well, we all know how a theory can be tho, it just don't work for everyone. So what can you do, you ask us a million times a day in irc, well not a million, but one of the most overly asked questions.
First thing you are gonna want to do: make sure you md5sum is good after you download your .iso file, I can't stress that enough. make sure you have burnt the cd as slow as possible with burn verfiy.
You will be asked those two questions every time, so please do this so we don't have to waste bandwidth reasking. It may seem petty to you about checking the md5sum, but without knowing you're starting out with a good iso file it's pointless. We can spend weeks troubleshooting and if your md5sum was bad, holy smokes we just wasted a lot of time and caused a lot of frustration. With a bad md5sum you can still get a bootable working desktop, but may have issues else where. So keep in mind, just cause it boots, doesn't mean the iso is good. How do I check the md5sum and disk you ask? Well lucky for you: http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php? ... or_LiveDVD
Ok, so you made sure the md5sum was good and you burnt the disk at a nice slow speed with burn verify enabled. Now we can start looking at other things. Do you have the latest and correct video driver? That will be first thing to know.
Nvidia card owners, the following link will save you hours of frustration. Yes, certain cards require certain drivers: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_nVidia_Dri ... he_drivers If masking gives you hives wondering what it is, than please read more here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Masked
Our wiki also has howto get nvidia and ati cards working too, use the relevant information: http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php? ... in_Sabayon
How to get AIGLX working with ATI: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=12438
Ok, so you doubled checked your video card and you have the proper driver installed and you have restarted X. How do you restart X you ask?? Well, a simple key stroke combination of ctrl+alt+backspace or open konsole or terminal and type su - than your root password than /etc/init.d/xdm restart --- either method works. If all else fails, reboot the computer.
Now you're back in the desktop, time to run Acceleration Manager, this can be done several ways. It can be found in the Kmenu, click the kmenu icon and it's there some place. I prefer the terminal myself so I will explain that.
open konsole or terminal
type su enter root password eselect opengl list << make sure your driver has the * - if not run eselect opengl set drivername, example eselect opengl set nvidia restart X run - accel-manager << make your selection restart X
Most people forget to restart X after this process. It should be working, if you don't have the blue square fusion-icon in your task bar than simple hit alt+F2 and type in fusion-icon to start the 3D world.
The above method will work for most people, but you will find that maybe it didn't work for you. Why? I don't know. A little bit of research into /etc/X11/xorg.conf can usually resolve the remaining few that have problems. The following links are full of information for AIGLX and XGL, again, only use the information that is relevant. You will want to pay attention to the xorg.conf settings they have on those pages and compare it to your xorg.conf so it matches. howto AIGLX http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX howto XGL http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL

Keeping up with technology is growing more and more important by the day. Unfortunately, I've never been the best at staying on the cutting edge. Fortunately, my husband is.
One of the things he has introduced me to in the past couple months is Google Reader. Basically it's a centralized place I can go to read news that I pick out by subscribing to RSS feeds. I don't understand it all or how it works really, but I do enjoy getting news tailored to my interests.

Column as I see 'em
The past week of watching the workings of local government prove that there truly is more than one way to skin a cat.
While there's no doubt Judge-Executive Steve Cornish could do very nicely, thank you, without being nitpicked by magistrates over his proposed budget, that it's happening really is a good thing.
Cornish says he did his level best in assembling a budget he thinks is fiscally responsible during a poor economy.
Want a good deal on spring blooming trees? Now's the time!
There are so many things blooming right now, but it is that smell of honeysuckle that shouts summer to me. I love it. The spring-blooming trees have been gorgeous, and now is the time to grab some deals and get your hands on some beauties.
There are many low maintenance flowering trees that won't litter up your car and sidewalks. The Chanticleer Pear has white blooms and tiny fruit that is edible, but the birds usually get them first.
Fiscal court racially profiling dogs
To the editor:
Racial profiling is now going to the dogs. Anderson County Fiscal Court is set to review a new dog ordinance that specifically targets "pit bulls" as vicious dogs. Even with organizations such as the ASPCA, AKC and the American Veterinary Medical Association opposed to breed specific legislation, our fiscal court drafted this revised ordinance with exactly that in mind.
Columnist Cheryl Steenerson warns against leaf spot and early blight.
I was in a movie theater. My husband had gotten up during the film to use the restroom, and while he was gone, an enraged gunman entered the room and started to shoot. There were screams and people began to run frantically. He hit me twice. Each bullet skidded over an opposite side of my face. I was bleeding, but I don't remember any pain. The gunman left and my husband came back. He looked at me and said, "Well, I guess we better get you to a hospital."
Then, I woke up.
Hey, it's May. Have you seen all the wildflowers popping up all over the place? The blue phlox are my favorite. Everything seems to be coming alive these days and it sure makes me smile. You never know what a rough winter will take out.
These multiple summer droughts and winter ice storms can take their toll on all plants. Plants flowering now are putting everything they've got into put on a show for us. The least we can do is help them along with a little food.
Column as I see 'em …
Well I certainly received my comeuppance in this week's letters to the editor.
Not that I'm complaining. As those who work with me will attest, there is nothing more enjoyable to me than letter writers taking me to task on my columns or editorials.
Opinions are like, well, you know, and everyone has one, including me. While I certainly have a mighty big megaphone from which to shout each week, this page offers equal access to those who disagree.
Editor Carlson needs dog training
I am writing you in regards to your recent columns and editorials pertaining to pit bulls.
You seem to only want to hear one side of the story.
I believe one description you used was "slobbering, blood-eyed monster chained up next door." I am personally disgusted to read such articles. I am hopeful that this letter will help clarify some things about pit bulls and also help educate others.
It's almost May. I open the stand in 24 more days. Yikes. The Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting an average temperature of 65 degrees. Thank God. Mother Earth is warming up and here we thought it would never come. We could still have some cool days in May.
I remember my first Mother's Day here because it snowed. It hasn't since, so let's let hope spring eternal. The rule of thumb around here is that you can plant the summer garden after Derby Day. That's this weekend.
Don't jump on pit bull 'ban' wagon
I never thought I'd hear of our editor wanting to take away our rights, but there it was in print in last week's paper.
He admitted to me on the phone that he has had a personal incident with a pit bull and said he has shot one and would do it again if it threatened his family.
Well, we all would Ben, but we wouldn't ban an entire breed from the county.
What if my columns were only 140 characters every week?
Some of you would jump for joy, because really, how much damage could I do in 140 characters? Others of you might actually miss the extra words, and some of you might actually like to see an extra 140 characters every other day or so.
To the last group of you: You're in luck.
I hope each week that editorials and columns I write will draw opposing opinions, especially those that are reasonable and well thought out.
So when gardening columnist and apparent pit bull apologist Cheryl Steenerson called and said she was going to set me straight after last week's editorial about pits, I welcomed her letter with glee. (See her letter on this page).
What's it going to take for city and county lawmakers to wake up and smell the pit bull doo-doo?
For the third time in as many weeks those sworn to protect and serve had to kill dogs in the line of duty, the third coming last Thursday when a pair of pits reportedly terrorized the community around David Drive.
Unlike the first two instances, these pits launched their attack on two other dogs, killing a black lab and mauling another.
Sunshine! I am so glad to see the sun and feel its warmth.
Did it seem like a long winter to you? We now have over 13 hours of daylight and the spring vegetables are getting bigger by the day. As the weather improves, we won't be the only ones getting out and about more.
Start keeping a close eye on your crops for insect damage. Aphids, cabbage worms, slugs, snails and mites will start to look for food and your harvest is in their sights. A strong blast of water will usually knock them off. You can also use insecticidal soap spray to keep them from coming back.
You might consider me a bit of pansy or, at the very least, overly emotional because I usually get sappy and teary-eyed when I hear children sing.
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't start bawling when a random child bursts into a mediocre version of "I'm a Little Teapot" on television, but my eyes get a little misty when children put forth an effort and believe in themselves and what they're singing.

"Great staff, they make you feel so at home. Every medical facility should be this nice. Felt like a nice hotel. Someone has great taste in decorating. Thanks for making us feel at home."

"I recommend them highly!! I took my 2 year old daughter for a sleep study and was very impressed. Our sleep technician was amazing with her, very patient and kind. The DVD we brought to watch while getting her hooked up got stuck in the TV and they vowed to return it. We got a call the next day checking on our daughter and saying how sweet she was, they mentioned the DVD. Several days later, we received the DVD plus a new copy of the Lion King with a nice note. They are very good at what they do and if they can make a 2 year old feel at ease, they can probably do the same with anyone!!"

"I was especially impressed with Andrew the Respiratory Therapist who reviewed my study with me and answered my questions. Andrew thoroughly explained everything about the Cpap machine-from start to finish. I never felt rushed and was assured I could contact him with any additional questions or needs. Andrew told me he would follow up with a call in a week and he did. I believe this center performed the study appropriately and the added benefit of having Andrew teach me about the machine and what to expect was a bonus."

BaltimoreLacrosseNews.com, Posted 8/14/13
From Press Release
Johns Hopkins women's lacrosse coach Janine Tucker announced several exciting changes to her coaching staff today. Steele Stanwick will join the Blue Jays' staff as an assistant coach and current assistant Tara Singleton has been promoted to associate head coach.
In addition, Megan Huether joins the staff as a volunteer coach to work with the goalies. Stanwick will serve as the program's offensive coordinator while overseeing all video operations and assisting in recruiting and day-to-day operations of the program. Singleton, who returns for her fourth season on the staff, will continue as the Blue Jays' defensive coordinator and add director of recruiting to her responsibilities.
"Steele Stanwick is a wonderful addition to our staff," said Tucker. "He is extraordinarily bright and mature and has a passion to teach the game. Steele has always admired his sisters' respective careers and has a true appreciation for women's lacrosse.
"We believe he will make an outstanding offensive coordinator and recruiter for the Johns Hopkins women's lacrosse program. Anyone who has had the pleasure of watching Steele play can see he has a brilliant understanding of how to create offense and we are excited for him to bring his innovative approach to our team. I am thrilled to welcome Steele into our Blue Jay family."
Stanwick, the 2011 Tewaaraton Trophy winner and two-time USILA First Team All-American, joins the Blue Jays' coaching staff after a stellar career at the University of Virginia. The Cavaliers' all-time scoring leader with 269 points, he led the Cavs to the 2010 ACC Tournament title, the 2011 NCAA Championship and a 56-14 (.800) record in his career. Stanwick earned ACC Rookie of the Year honors in 2009 and went on to earn ACC Player of the Year and ACC Offensive Player of the Year honors as a junior and senior, respectively. A three-time All-ACC selection and USILA All-American, he scored 126 goals while adding 143 assists during his career.
"I'm really excited about this opportunity," Stanwick said. "Hopkins has such a great tradition and is such an outstanding school. Coaching the women's game isn't something I expected in my first coaching job, but I couldn't be more thrilled. There will be some challenges in transitioning to the women's game, but I grew up watching my sisters play and I'm looking forward to working with the players."
Stanwick graduated from Virginia in 2012 with a degree in history and was drafted number two overall by the Ohio Machine of Major League Lacrosse. Since making his MLL debut on June 16, 2012, Stanwick has tallied 58 points in just 22 games. In 2012, he led all MLL rookies with 17 assists while leading the Machine in the same category. This summer Stanwick played in his first MLL All-Star game, where he scored a goal and dished out four assists. Last year, he started Stanwick Lacrosse, LLC where he coaches individuals and small groups on all aspects of the game.
Tara Singleton has been promoted to Associate Head Coach.
"Tara Singleton has been an integral part of our women's lacrosse staff since she stepped foot on this campus," Tucker said. "She is passionate, dedicated and driven to help our student-athletes become exceptional players on the field and positive role models on campus. Tara is a wonderful mentor for our women and has earned the opportunity to increase her responsibilities within our program. Tara is recognized by her peers as an outstanding coach and we are extremely proud and excited to offer her this opportunity."
In two of Singleton's three seasons at Homewood, the JHU defense has ranked in the top 30 nationally in scoring defense. She coached 2012 graduate Alyssa Kildare to All-ALC and IWLCA All-Region honors in 2011 and 2012. Singleton began her coaching career at her alma mater, Loyola, and spent one year there before moving to UMBC. She coached the UMBC defense for two years and served as the Retrievers' interim head coach in the spring of 2006 while head coach Courtney Connor was on maternity leave. In 2007, Singleton left Baltimore to join the Denver coaching staff, where she spent three seasons. In her first season with the Pioneers, the team went 13-6 and advanced to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) championship game. After a 10-8 record in 2009, Denver returned to the MPSF title game in 2010 and went 13-5 on the season.
"I am humbled and extremely grateful for the opportunity to take the next step in my coaching career," said Singleton. "Coach Tucker has been a tremendous mentor for me, it is a goal of mine to one day be a head coach and I am honored to continue to learn from her every day. Hopkins is a program filled with great passion and tradition. Everyone associated with Johns Hopkins University, our administration, staff and student-athletes, are what makes Hopkins amazing. I am truly excited to continue what we have started and I am eager to see what lies ahead for Hopkins women's lacrosse."
Singleton was a four-year letterwinner at Loyola where she started her final two seasons and captained the team as a senior. A Second Team All-America in 2004, she led the Greyhounds to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances, two Final Fours and the 2002 Colonial Athletic Association title. As a junior, she led the team in caused turnovers and anchored the nation's top-ranked defense. As a senior, she once again led the team in caused turnovers and was among the national leaders in that category as well. Singleton was a member of the US National Developmental Team from 2003-05, a World Cup Team candidate and a member of the US National Elite Team from 2007-08. She graduated from Loyola in 2004 with a degree in elementary education and a minor in special education.
"I'm excited to have someone of Megan's caliber working with our goalies," Tucker commented. "She brings a wealth of experience from the collegiate and international levels and she is a fantastic addition to our staff."
Huether graduated from Duke University in 2006 after a standout career in the cage. She started all 79 games of her career, finished with a record of 60-17, and set school records for minutes played (4,505) and saves (646). Huether ranks second in school history in career goals against average (7.67), third in save percentage (.529) and fourth in ground balls (175). In 2005, she was named the IWLCA Goalie of the Year after leading the Blue Devils to the ACC Tournament title and the NCAA semifinals. A two-time All-ACC selection, Huether led Duke back to the ACC finals and the NCAA semifinals while going 18-2 in goal as a senior.
Huether began playing with the US National team in 2005 as a member of the Developmental squad. She moved up to the senior national team in 2008 and won gold medals at the 2009 and 2013 FIL World Cups. At the 2013 World Cup in Oshawa, Ontario, she made 16 saves in seven games and finished with a 4.89 goals against average and a .500 save percentage as Team USA went 7-0 and captured gold.

While President Barack Obama's popularity has slipped in public opinion polls, he found plenty of support Wednesday among one key constituency: the 566 leaders of federally recognized Indian tribes.
"I'd rank him as high as I can go; a 10, really, to be honest with you," said Leo Lolnitz, first chief of the Koyukuk Native Village in Alaska.
Brian Cladoosby, the chairman of Washington state's Swinomish Indian Tribal Community for the past 17 years, said Obama was "second to none" when compared with other U.S. presidents.
Tribal leaders consider the occupant of the White House one of their own. To them, he's Barack Black Eagle Obama, having received his Indian name in 2008 when a couple on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana formally adopted him. And on Wednesday, they got a chance to meet with him yet again, as the president kept a campaign promise by hosting his fifth White House Tribal Nations Conference.
In a 14-minute speech to the tribal leaders, Obama said he'd make his first visit to Indian Country as president sometime next year, though he didn't say where he plans to go. He visited the Montana reservation when he was challenging Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination in his first presidential campaign.
The annual gathering at the Interior Department gives tribal leaders a chance to make pitches for what they want from Washington in the coming year. In 2014, tribal leaders want an end to the budget cuts known as sequestration and more authority to manage their own affairs, among other things.
A dozen Cabinet officials met with the tribal leaders, promising more help for such challenges as fighting crime, fixing schools and getting better health care.
But some tribal leaders said the president and his team had too quick to promise and slow to deliver.
"He's reaching out to us. We really appreciate that, but there's not a whole lot of things that have happened," said Bryan Brewer, the president of South Dakota's Oglala Sioux Tribe. "I feel there's been a lot of promises to us, but we're still struggling."
For example, Brewer said, Obama should have done more to protect tribes from the cuts caused by sequestration: "We should have been exempted from a lot of those things, but we haven't."
Obama and his team outlined their list of accomplishments, including: renewing the Violence Against Women Act, which makes it easier for tribes to prosecute non-Indians for domestic violence; getting an additional 230,000 acres placed into trust on behalf of the tribes; spending more on law enforcement, schools and emergency relief; launching a nearly $2 billion buyback program later this year to return thousands of property parcels to tribes; and creating the first White House Council on Native American Affairs.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, who oversees the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said the forced budget cuts and last month's 16-day government shutdown had hit Indian Country hard. But she told the tribal leaders that the Obama administration is determined to help "make your world a better place" despite the tough fiscal climate.
"I know from growing up in this country that the federal government does not have a proud legacy with tribes, and justice can't be reversed overnight," Jewell said.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that only 36 percent of tribal members were covered by health insurance now but that 94 percent would be covered either under an expansion of Medicaid or by enrolling through the new marketplace created by the president's health insurance program. She said the new federal law provided "a pathway" for more tribal members to get insured.
Eric Shinseki, the secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, acknowledged that some veterans lack trust in the government and his department but said he wanted to make things better and ensure that all tribal members got equal access to benefits for veterans.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the administration wanted to do more to reduce crime in Indian Country, including the rates of rape and murder, which he said were far too high among girls and women.
"We simply can't stand for such an unjust and unacceptable status quo any longer," he said.
Obama said the poverty rate was too high in Indian Country and that the federal government must do more to expand job opportunities. And he said he wanted to build a stronger relationship between tribes and the federal government, "based on trust and respect."
The president said he also wanted to make it easier for more tribal members to get access to health care. He saluted the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority in Washington state, where he said tribal members had created the country's first tribal family-medicine residency program.
"Patients are cared for in a culturally sensitive way, often by Native American staff," Obama said.
Tribes outlined a long list of their own priorities, including getting more help with economic development projects, appointing more tribal members to judgeships and other high-level federal jobs, spending more on housing and collecting better data to track tribal members.
Arlan Melendez, the tribal chairman of the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony in Nevada, said tribal leaders wanted to urge the administration to get the Internal Revenue Service to stop conducting audits on Indian land.
"Tribes think it's an intrusion on sovereign federal land," he said.
Jim Peters, a tribal council member of the Squaxin Island Tribe in Washington state, gave Obama high marks for helping to advance conservation and fisheries management issues, even with a tight federal budget. And he said tribes wanted to make sure they did as much as they could to advance the efforts during Obama's final three years in office.
"With our treaty rights at risk back in Washington, he has been listening to us and directing his agencies to work with us," Peters said.
Cladoosby, the Swinomish chairman, who's also the president of the National Congress of American Indians, noted that after Wednesday's event Obama has now met with tribal leaders each year of his presidency. The chairman said that was unprecedented.
"The tribes got one meeting with President Clinton," Cladoosby said. "During the Bush administration, we got zero meetings."

This is a good example of a railroad stone arch overpass. It is quite near to the impressive Niles Railroad Bridge. The bridge is an attractive one, however the addition of concrete railings, concrete to the wing-walls of the bridge has detracted from the beauty of the bridge. The bridge is posted for 11 feet and 3 inches clearance. This bridge is similar to the Thames Street Bridge in Ontario.

Day 2 Recap
I woke up to the sounds of "Bell Tower" through my phone's
alarm clock, and could not for the life of me understand why my
husband hasn't hadn't hit snooze already, "but wait!" I realized
groggily, "I'm in Florida, not in Denver, that must be the alarm I
set last night." In a sleep induced haze I grabbed for my phone,
dropped it inadvertantly behind the hotel bed (while it was still
tolling away), finally got a handle of it and hit snooze.
Despite all this, I made it to breakfast by 7:45 am, filled up
my neon green Denver Museum of Nature & Science travel mug with
copious amounts of coffee and found a table to join. I had a great
conversation with the folks at breakfast about how professional
societies are taking a stab at social media, about Body Worlds,
about anatomy, and about how to keep memberships in professional
societies consistent year to year. There was also talk of scuba
diving and sun catching, proof that there is life outside the
OK, so what did I learn today?
1. Meghan did an incredible job presenting this morning:
2. A group from Monell has made a transgenetics mouse (they put
one gene, called T1R3 from humans into mice that do not have the
mouse T1R3) that has the ability to "taste" sweet like a human
would taste sweet- making a great model for studying behavoir and
other aspects of taste.
3. The difference between habituation and adaptation.
"Habituation is when the brain still gets a signal, but doesn't
care. Adaption is when the sensory cells no longer send a signal to
the brain." Dr. Yanina Pepino explained. She presented research
showing that obese and lean women do not have a difference in the
initial pleasantness or intensity of sweet foods, but lean women
habituate to the pleasantness more quickly than obese women, and so
stop eating earlier.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Environmental regulators have accused Kansas of polluting water at three road construction sites.
The federal government sued the Kansas Department of Transportation on Monday alleging violations of the Clean Water Act over stormwater discharge of pollutants. The sites are located on U.S. 69, U.S. 59 and Kansas 18 near Lawrence, Pleasanton and Manhattan.
KDOT spokesman Steve Swartz declined comment, citing the pending litigation.
At issue are allegations that KDOT failed to prevent erosion from exposed slopes into waterways. The lawsuit contends the state did not properly design or maintain sediment controls such as silt fences, berms and sediment basins.
It seeks fines of $32,500 per day for violations dating to 2004, and more than $37,000 per day for those after 2009.

Redis stores integers in their integer representation, so for string values that actually hold an integer, there is no overhead for storing the string representation of the integer.

The counter pattern is the most obvious thing you can do with Redis atomic increment operations. The idea is simply send an command to Redis every time an operation occurs. For instance in a web application we may want to know how many page views this user did every day of the year.
To do so the web application may simply increment a key every time the user performs a page view, creating the key name concatenating the User ID and a string representing the current date.
This simple pattern can be extended in many ways:
The rate limiter pattern is a special counter that is used to limit the rate at which an operation can be performed. The classical materialization of this pattern involves limiting the number of requests that can be performed against a public API.
We provide two implementations of this pattern using , where we assume that the problem to solve is limiting the number of API calls to a maximum of ten requests per second per IP address .
The more simple and direct implementation of this pattern is the following:
Basically we have a counter for every IP, for every different second. But this counters are always incremented setting an expire of 10 seconds so that they'll be removed by Redis automatically when the current second is a different one.
Note the used of

On the other hand, perhaps you want your space to look cozier (and you need some storage). Stash baskets, trunks and old suitcases under simple legged coffee tables to ground spaces that are otherwise too open. Solid tabletops usually have a very square corner. If you have little kids or the circulation is tight, allow extra space at the ends so it's easier to get around the corners without hitting your shins. Go for color with an upholstered coffee table, as it will draw people to the surrounding sofas and chairs. Top it with a tray to hold books and other items. Choose your fabric wisely, since people may want to put up their feet (and shoes). Outdoor fabrics can be smart; steer clear of linen and fabrics with high amounts of rayon or viscose. Take a swatch home and test it out with dirt, red wine or whatever you think your coffee table will encounter, to make sure your fabric choice can handle it all.
A lip edge or tray top on a coffee table is always a smart choice if you have a tendency to spill your coffee or have kids that will be using the coffee table for snacks and drinks. They're also good if you entertain often and don't want to worry about red wine getting spilled on your carpet. Coffee tables should be the same height as the surrounding seating, with 18 inches being a good average (although it will depend on your furniture). If you select a coffee table with a lip, make sure the lip isn't higher than the adjacent seating, or you'll end up hitting your drink against the lip when you try to set it down. The idea is to put your drink down, not up.

RT::Extension::MergeUsers - Merges two users into the same effective user
This RT extension adds a "Merge Users" box to the User Administration page, which allows you to merge the user you are currently viewing with another user on your RT instance.
It also adds "MergeInto" and "UnMerge" functions to the RT::User class, which allow you to programmatically accomplish the same thing from your code.
It also provides a version of CanonicalizeEmailAddress, which means that all e-mail sent from secondary users is displayed as coming from the primary user.
If you're upgrading then, as well, read "UPGRADING" below.
perl Makefile.PL
make install
clear your mason cache
most often this would be rm -rf /opt/rt3/var/mason_data/*
restart apache
For RT 3.8
Add RT::Extension::MergeUsers to your /opt/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm file
Set(@Plugins, qw(RT::Extension::MergeUsers));
If you have more than one Plugin enabled, you must enable them as one
Set(@Plugins, qw(Foo Bar)); command
If you are upgrading from 0.03_01 or earlier, you must run rt-upgrade-merged-users. This script will create MergedUsers Attributes so RT can know when you're looking at a user that other users have been merged into. If you don't run this script, you'll have issues unmerging users. It can be safely run multiple times, it will only create Attributes as needed.
This custom iterator makes sure that duplicate users are never shown in search results.

A veritable icon made by Kartell, the mass-tinted polypropylene Bubble Club Armchair was a pioneer of a new concept in furniture accessories: the industrial chair made entirely of plastic. Technology and research made it possible for Kartell to mass produce what was traditionally handmade. Bubble Club is a roomy armchair, characterized by the soft line of its armrests, in contrast with the more rational lines of the backrest. This is a minimalist silhouette, reminiscent of the lines of "granny's sofa." Along with the couch and the small table, produced with the same finish and colors, Bubble Club Armchair is now a complete family, nothing less than an "industrial living-room." Thanks to their exceptional weather resistance, all three members of the Bubble Club family can survive perfectly outdoors and are ideal for furnishing gardens, pool sides and patios.

Honey Beer Bread
It's finally getting warm in Rhode Island.
Yesterday I had a day that I needed badly. A day to myself.
John was off to a Red Sox game, the boys off doing what they do. Jesse was home but I barely heard a peep from him, it was a day mostly for me.
I dug in the dirt. I cooked and baked what I wanted, when I wanted too. I spent hours taking pictures and editing them. I took a magazine outside and hung out in the yard reading. It really was just what I needed.
The weather is cooperating too so things are looking downright springy around here....plants are starting to bloom, flower beds have been raked, all the stuff that was piled in the shed last year has now seen the light of day.
My hydrangeas are are budding, my hostas are peeking their noses out of the ground, I'm looking through seed catalogs, I'm designing new beds in my head, I'm anticipating all those cookouts and get togethers with family and friends.
Spring really is here.
I couldn't be happier.
I love working in the yard.
I love planting and growing my own food.
I love getting my hands dirty and I still love to bake bread.
I know it's not really the bread making season, but our bread eating doesn't stop in the spring, or summer, or any season for that matter.
This is a recipe you can throw together in literally 5 minutes.
You can eat with a delicious soup, you can eat it toasted for breakfast, you can eat is as a snack.
My friend Tati was over Sunday morning and she ate it with butter and jam.
It has a touch of sweetness to it. Kinda like my day yesterday.
Honey Beer Bread Recipe
Adapted from Ezra Pound Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. honey or agave nectar
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
4 Tbsp. (half stick) butter, melted (**You can double this if you'd like**)
Makes 1 loaf
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9″ x 5″ x 3″ inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir the beer and honey into the dry ingredients until just mixed.
Pour half the melted butter into the loaf pan. Then spoon the batter into the pan, and pour the rest of the butter on top of the batter. (Use a pastry brush to spread it around if you'd like.)
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until top is golden brown and a toothpick/knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

|Version 9 (modified by 12 years ago) (diff),
Foreign Function Interface
See ExtensionDescriptionHowto for information on how to write these extension descriptions. Please add any new extensions to the list of HaskellExtensions.
Brief Explanation
Adds support for invoking code written in other programming languages from Haskell and vice versa. The FFI is designed as a non-intrusive extension to the Haskell 98 standard.
- addendum to Haskell98.
- Using the FFI with GHC
- #35
- ForeignFunctionInterface
- Widely accepted and used addendum.
- Provides an essential facility.
- Inaccurate
foreign imports can invalidate all guarantees given by Haskell.
Topics that need discussion for the integration into Haskell'
Transparent marshalling of newtypes
- The *only* reference is in the sentence in 3.2: The argument types ati produced by fatype must be marshallable foreign types; that is, each ati is either (1) a basic foreign type or (2) a type synonym or renamed datatype of a marshallable foreign type. This is very quiet! The "renamed datatype" nomenclature is never used in practice (only in the Haskell report), and in any case the sentence is hard to unpick without an example or two.
- Consider
foreign import "dynamic" foo :: (Int -> IO Int) -> .... Sect 3.2 should make it clear whether
(Int -> IO Int)is considered a "marshallable foreign type".
- I also found the separation of 4.1.3 from 3.2 quite hard to understand. I was searching in 3.2 for "wrapper" and "dynamic" in vain! I don't have a good solution to this, except perhaps some explicit fwd refs, and a clear explanation of the logic behind the structure of the document.
- It is legal to use a newtype as an argument type (Section 3.2, the FFI spec uses the term "renamed datatype" to mean newtype here). It doesn't say whether the newtype has to be in scope non-abstractly or not - indeed the intention seems to be that if the newtype is in scope, abstractly or not, it is legal to use it as an argument type. This is what GHC implements.
However, arguably this is wrong. By naming an abstract newtype in a foreign declaration, we can learn something about its implementation: namely whether it is a legal FFI argument type or not. Some abstraction has been lost.
Should we require that newtypes used as foreign argument types be non-abstract? This is undesirable - we often don't want to make the actual representation visible, but we nevertheless want the newtype to be a legal foreign argument type (c.f. the CTypes module, which exports a bunch of newtypes abstractly).
I can't see a simple solution. Perhaps we just declare that when a newtype is exported abstractly, it's suitability as a foreign argument type is still visible.
Some have expressed the opinion that the inclusion of
unsafePerformIO sends the wrong signal. They aregue that although it is true that by giving inaccurate
foreign imports one can define
unsafePerformIO, but that doesn't mean it should be standard. Moreover, as the stated purpose of
unsafePerformIO in the FFI (hiding marshalling and unmarshalling for otherwise pure functions) can be achieved with a
runST-like device if the language has Rank2Types or RankNTypes.
Personally, I don't see the issue. We are including arbitrary C code. For this to be safe, there are additional proof obligations. The function
unsafePerformIOis the same - for it to be safe, additional proof obligations have to be met. Concerning a
runST-like device, if the idea is to limit the scope of effects that are permitted by putting it into another monad and using a different interface, then this will at least complicate the API quite considerably. Currently, marshalling is performed by functions that read and write arbitrary memory locations. The FFI needs these functions anyway; hence, any other marshalling would need to add functions in addition to the existing ones. Secondly, marshalling is somewhat unpredictable in that different C libraries require different marshalling. Providing an interface with limited effects that captures all possible situations seems tricky, but if anybody has a concrete proposal, let's see it.
Include files
Foreign imports may specify a single include file. This is sufficient in theory, but most GHC users prefer to use
-#include options instead, and the standard form is poorly supported by GHC. The hierarchical libraries use an
INCLUDE pragma as a portable replacement for
OPTIONS_GHC -#include. jhc lazily collects the imports needed and only includes the ones needed by the FFI functions used after optimizations. this means you can have FFI calls refering to libraries and includes that are not on a system and still compile the program if none of the routines are used.
The rationale behind the design in the addendum is that for cases where a single include files does not suffice, you can always write your own include file that does something more clever (and include that from Haskell). Include files can be used in so many different ways that any other solution, while covering some more complex uses, will never cover them all, which will force people into the fallback of providing extra include files anyway.
ccall vs.
Cross-platform libraries (e.g. HOpenGL) often want to import the same foreign functions using the
ccall convention on Unix and the
stdcall convention on Windows. The usual method is to use CPP hackery.
Earlier versions of the FFI addendum had another conventions that would automatically adapt. IIRC we remove this eventually, because it wasn't always sufficient. Before considering this again, we should consult the mailing list archives for the exact reason of the earlier removal.
The specified CString conversions are not yet supported in the hierarchical libraries.
Is this a Haskell' issue?
Specifying libraries
jhc allows libraries to be specified as well as include files. this is handy for its lazy linking, the syntax is "-lfoo include.h foo_func"
This is another feature that we had for a while and then removed as it didn't always work. I think this is something the package manager should handle.
Changes to the FFI libraries
- We should also have
castCharToCSChar, and
castCSCharToChar(i.e., not only for CChar of which it is platform-dependent whether it is signed or not).

Customizing NAND images
From OLPC
This document describes how to create a jffs2 image from a laptop's internal NAND, producing an image that can be flashed onto a different XO. The laptop that is being backed up is the "host" laptop, and the laptop receiving the contents of the host laptop is the "target" laptop.
If you instead want to create a new image from scratch, see Building custom images.
Basic Procedure
Please consider using a customization key, building a custom image, using the alternate method described below, or modifing a jffs2 image, in this order. What ever you do, please be careful to diff the resulting build against the pristine version with commands like diff -NurP <from> <to>, colordiff -NurP <from> <to>, or xxdiff -r <from> <to>.
On recent Joyride (developer) builds, the sugar-control-panel can be use to change many setting, such as language. This may be sufficient for some customizations. For older builds, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Make the modifications on the host laptop that you want to be present in the generated image. If you've logged into Sugar and want the user to see the welcome/login prompt again, see the Section #Forcing Sugar to reprompt for name and colors. If you plan to use the image in laptops with different languages and keyboard layouts, you should delete also the file /.olpc-configured. This will force the system to run the olpc-configure script in the next boot.
- IMPORTANT: Make sure you delete these files in /etc/ssh:
ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_key ssh_host_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
- Insert a Windows-formatted (VFAT) USB disk into the host laptop, and turn off.
- To restart hold the 'X' game pad key while pressing the power button. Type the "Esc" key at the "Type the Esc key to interrupt automatic startup"
- At the "ok" prompt, type "save-nand disk:\nand.img" and press return. The contents of the NAND will be backed up to the nand.img file on the USB disk. The "ok" prompt will return when the copy has finished, and you can then power the laptop off with the power button.
- Since build 406, you need a checksum file to successfully upgrade the system. To create the CRC file see the Section #Creating CRC file.
- Move to the "target" laptop, and insert the USB disk. Again, interrupt at the prompt, and at the ok prompt type "copy-nand disk:\nand.img". This will copy from nand.img to the internal NAND. When back at the ok prompt, power off, remove the USB disk, and power on again to load from the new NAND image.
Alternative method
- Download the tarball of a development image, for example: http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/767/jffs2/os767.tar.bz2
- Create a temporary directory, and change into it.
mkdir /tmp/img cd /tmp/img
- Unpack the tarball while preserving numeric ownership. You will need to be root to do this.
tar -C /tmp/img --numeric-owner -xjf os-*.tar.bz2
- Make any modifications you wish to make. If you want to install an RPM, you can do it by chrooting:
cp xxx.rpm /tmp/img/versions/pristine/* chroot /tmp/img/versions/pristine/* rpm -U /xxx.rpm rm /xxx.rpm exit
- Create a filesystem image. You will need the "crcimg" program from the pilgrim repository.
mkfs.jffs2 -n -e128KiB -r /tmp/img/ -o os123.pre sumtool -n -p -e 128KiB -i os123.pre -o os123.img crcimg os123.img rm os123.pre
- Put the .img and .crc files on a USB key, as described in Preparing the autoupdate image.
Example Customizations
Sometimes you may want to define the default language for the system, either for use or while localizing. This can be changed using the Sugar Control Panel. The complete list of languages is in /usr/share/sugar/shell/controlpanel/control.py and also listed on the Sugar Control Panel page.
For example, the command to change to the Thai language:
sugar-control-panel -s language Thai
To Spanish (Mexico):
sugar-control-panel -s language Spanish/Mexico
To Brazilian Portuguese:
sugar-control-panel -s language Portuguese/Brasil
And back to English:
sugar-control-panel -s language English/USA
Note that you invoke these commands from the Terminal Activity; you must use Ctrl+Alt+Erase to restart Sugar in order to apply your changes.
Changing the language (of Sugar) is not the same as changing the keyboard configuration. To do the latter, see the following section.
Note: Previously, we used /etc/sysconfig/i18n to define the LANG variable that Sugar will use. In recent (Joyride) builds, this file has been ~/.i18n in order to move user-writable files to /home/olpc (See Olpc-utils).
|Sugar framework
|Python framework
|Localizing an XO
|Changing language
|Getting started
|Website translation
Note: There's currently no UI for customizing the keyboard. You have to use a text editor (like nano) and be very careful not to make mistakes: on security enabled laptops, it could be hard to recover from a bad keyboard configuration.
If the manufacturing data does not match the keyboard you need, you can set the keyboard type.
Since Ship.2 / Build 650
Since Ship.2, the keyboard layout configuration lives in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:
Simple example:
XKB_MODEL="olpc" XKB_LAYOUT="us" XKB_VARIANT="olpc" KEYTABLE="us"
The definitive list of OLPC keyboard layouts and variants can be found in the Manufacturing Data. Examples for the XKB_LAYOUT include "es" for the Argentina keyboard layout, and "br" for the Brazil layout.
Complex example (showing X's ability to support multiple layouts on a keyboard that can be switched during use):
XKB_MODEL="olpc" XKB_LAYOUT="us,ru,kz" XKB_VARIANT="olpc2,olpc,olpc" KEYTABLE="us"
These XKB (X Keyboard Extension) national layouts are standardized roughly across countries: for example, a Portuguese layout for Portugal can and is very different than the commonly used Portuguese layout found in Brazil. The names of layouts are therefore more commonly related to countries than language. You can find the database of layouts (many more than OLPC currently has keyboards designed for) in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols. More information on creating new XKB layouts can be found via Google.
These settings can be overridden on a per-user basis by creating a file called /home/olpc/.xkb containing the same variables.
Updating the xkbmap
To change the symbol mapping of the keyboard, follow the following steps:
- After the system has booted, switch to a Console;
- Login in as root (no password required);
- Open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf for editing (use vi, nano or any editor you are comfortable with);
You can view your current settings using the setxkbmap command:
setxkbmap -v
Before Build 623
Until build 623, these parameters used to be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Look for lines like these:
Option "XkbModel" "olpc" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru,kz" Option "XkbVariant "olpc2,olpc,olpc"
Timezone information is stored in the file /etc/timezone. For example, the east coast of the US is "America/New_York". This name references files found in /usr/share/zoneinfo, that control the system's timezone and daylight savings time behavior.
NOTE: if there is no 'timezone' file, then create one. If there is no file, the default is GMT.
Now you can use the sugar-control-panel to set the timezone. Get the list of available timezones:
sugar-control-panel -h timezone
Get the current timezone:
sugar-control-panel -g timezone
Set the timezone (you must be root):
sugar-control-panel -s timezone [timezone]
sugar-control-panel -s timezone Europe/Berlin
You can set the time on your XO (if you are on line) using ntpdate:
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
This will also set the system clock, but not save the time in the hardware clock.
Use hwclock to set the hardware clock from the system time:
hwclock --systohc
Installing TrueType or OpenType Fonts
Either install as root prepackaged font package(s) from the Fedora repository as outlined below, or install the fonts in a subdirectory of /usr/share/fonts/ttf and run the fc-cache -f command afterwards.
- XXX: fonts should be installed in /home/olpc/.fonts if they are to persist across upgrades. CScott 16:11, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
To remove an activity from the build, delete the desired directory from: /usr/share/activities:
rm -r TamTam.activity (for example)
To add an activity, install it in this same directory. Just unzip the .xo file to create /usr/share/activities/WhateverTheNameIs.activity/ .
(Note that individuals can download activities (.xo files) into /home/olpc/Activities from the web browser. This will load an activity onto the clipboard (and into the Journal) from which it can be installed and run.)
Installing packages from the Fedora repositories using yum
Sugar is based off of Fedora and as such has a large amount of packages available to add to the base system. The tool used to do this is called yum. Because of memory constraints it is best to drop into run mode 3 which stops X. To do this log in as root either in the developer console or one of the virtual terminals and type this command:
init 3
X should exit and you should find yourself either at a login prompt or in the same virtual terminal. Log in as root if you are not already. To install or upgrade a package you simply use this command:
yum upgrade <package name>
To search for available packages you can use this command:
yum search <keyword>
More information about using yum with fedora can be found here.

Helix (Real) Media Player
The Helix media activity page covers installation of this activity and its associated codecs.
Forcing Sugar to reprompt for name and colors
You can always edit:
However, there may be times when you may want to force Sugar to prompt for a new name and colors as if with a new machine. You can do this by deleteing the configuration file and the SSH keys in the ./sugar/default directory.
rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/config rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/owner.key rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/owner.key.pub
Note that:
- This process does force the generation of new keys, which will potentially have (an adverse) impact on access to backup files on the school server.
- The above process does not clean out the Journal data repository—the additional step of deleting the directory /home/olpc/.sugar/default/datastore will empty the Journal;
rm -r /home/olpc/.sugar/default/datastore
Other sugar state can be reset as well.
- The additional step of deleting the contents of the directory /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm will clear the Network Manager database;
rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/*
- The additional step of deleting /home/olpc/.sugar/default/friends will clear the Friends database;
rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/friends
Or, you can use the Sugar Control Panel.
Creating CRC file
Currently we have 2 easy ways to create the CRC file:
OFW now creates both an .img and .crc file in save-nand.
Fedora 11 has a crcimg package containing the crcimg program. Install it and then from the command prompt create the crc from your custumized image:
crcimg myfile.img
Output is in myfile.crc
Other platforms
If crcimg is not pacakged for your version of Linux, you can:
- Use File:Crcimg.sh - Linux crcimg executable
- Use File:Crcimg.mm - Mac crcimg executable
- Compile the C version yourself -- from the Pilgrim repository
Download and compile pilgrim
git clone git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/pilgrim cd pilgrim/crcimg make

Despite the fact that the business side of motorcycling is run by a small close-nit group of curmudgeons, Neanderthals, and Luddites, the world outside of motorcycling continues to press on without us.
And while various parts of the motorcycle industry are busy trying to figure out how to adapt to this whole new "internet" technology fad thing (it has only been commercialized for over two decades now guys), the same group of people are busy trying to maintain the same business models and practices that came from the post-World War II economy.
In other words, when it comes to technology and the motorcycle industry, we are all pretty much fucked.

County adding health care services
As part of a state and federal overhaul in health care, Yamhill County Health and Human Services has been awarded $635,847 by the state Health Authority's Addictions and Mental Health Division. The money is part of a statewide effort to improve safety net services for people coping with mental health issues.
The Yamhill County Care Organization, which coordinates services to Oregon Health Plan members, also was awarded two grants, one to increase services and intensive care coordination for children with emotional and behavioral disorders and one to provide "assertive community treatment" for mentally ill people who might otherwise end up in high-cost psychiatric facilities.
"These legislatively allocated funds are long overdue," said County Health and Human Services Director Silas Halloran-Steiner. The state has only been funding the local community mental health system at about 40 percent of its estimated need for years, he said.
As a result of the grants, the county is planning to:
* Extend its psychiatric crisis response team operation to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
* Add a diversion program to keep mentally ill people from being jailed unnecessarily.
* Improve mental health programs in all seven of the county's school districts.
* Augment housing services for mentally ill people living independently.
* Expand behavioral health services at two school-based health centers.
* Add alcohol and drug prevention activities for teens.
"Yamhill County residents deserve high quality services, especially if they find their way into a crisis situation," Halloran-Steiner said. He said that prevention services are a crucial part of the change in health care.
"Only 10 percent of people's overall health is influenced by medical services. The other 90 percent is determined by genetics, lifestyle, behavioral, social and environment factors. Knowing this, it's time we focused our energy on helping people make smart choices about their health and how they access health care services."
Jim Carlough, CEO of the Yamhill County Care Organization, said he is excited to work with county Health and Human Services, with more integrated services.
On the other side of the ledger, the state is cutting $93,591 from the county's chemical dependency funding for the period running Jan. 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015.
Halloran-Steiner said funding is being cut because it was intended to cover care of indigent people, but recent expansion of Oregon's Medicaid program extends Oregon Health Plan coverage to many of them. Statewide, the expansion is adding more than 200,000 members to the plan, he said, and the county's share of that is 4,000.
"Steps are being taken to keep clients stable in their treatment services during this transition period," he told county commissioners in a memo. Simply put, Halloran-Steiner said, those patients "will have a health benefit that wasn't previously afforded to them, so there won't be as many in need of indigent funding."

Don't Apologize
"When you flip anything you must have the courage of your convictions, particularly if it's sort of a loose mass like this. Oh…that didn't go very well...But you can always pick it up. And if you're alone in the kitchen, who is going to see?"
Cooking. A metaphor for life. And wisdom from Julia Child.
A perfect source of wisdom for me right now. Because, believe it or not, after months of building up to it - I left chef school. In the first week.
And I learned a lot. But not what I was expecting.
These chefs are very passionate, determined and dedicated artists.
Through all of that I discovered something.
I really, really, really don't want to cook to the standard of a restaurant. It was like hitting my passion for food with a nuclear bomb.
And though no one asked them to, my classmates figured out quickly that if the chef asked us if we understand, they said, in unison, Yes Chef!
I wasn't sure if it was in me when I wrote about it before I went. And guess what? It isn't. My neck and shoulders tighten, my lips get pursed. And I suddenly find I'm trying to shake my shoulders loose. Nope. It's just too much. You know…set to 11.
It was a blow. I spent most of the week on the verge of tears in public and letting them overflow in private. It was shocking. The thoughts started creeping through - the money...the risk...the embarrassment...the naivete, and my age old panicky feeling of doubt followed quickly by paralysis - I can't go forward, can't go back.
The old me would have torn myself to shreds. For a long time. In a voice I wouldn't use on anyone else. I debated pushing through. I've been in these settings before (anyone in a newsroom or tv control room feels it) and wondered why I pushed on. But here no. I knew if I went back, my body would stop myself from going in the classroom. Hmmm. Journalism was what I was meant to study. What I loved. And cooking school was adding a specialty to my life. And one that I can still learn.
I had made a huge mistake.
So this time, I quit.
For me, the "courage of my convictions" was in calling it.
When a goal leads you down a fork in the road and you see another path veering away from you – you get to call quits. And you will never quite know. And that, my friends, must be what growing up feels like.
I'm a home cook. I want to get better. I want to, in fact, be the best I can be. I want to taste well (not good, that's different). I want to practice up my palate. I want to create. And I want to share.
Cooking is generosity, not competition. Not so much the culinary Olympics. For others maybe, but not for me.
Goal/motivation psychology tells us that if your goal is taking you in the wrong direction, adapt the goal. Find a related goal – one that'll get you near. In psychology gobbledygook it is called 'goal disengagement' and 'goal reengagement'. And people who can do that apparently also have the added benefit of better physical health.
In other words, flogging yourself to death because you won't quit what you don't even want ain't good for you.
When I told my closest friends, they all had the same reaction – in calls and emails…first complete support and congratulations for knowing so fast...and second, worried that I'd beat myself up…I seem to have a reputation.
The not-much-younger me could hear the muffled voice inside my head trying to break through to scream at me for failing…for quitting…for not following anything through…for thinking I could even do this in the first place. Imposter!
The not-much-older me shored up the walls. And ignored it.
I did some research – discovered a different certification program that is part-time and signed myself up. I start that in less than two weeks. I still get to wear my chef whites, carry my knife kit and learn to be a much better, and happier, cook.
And with that, by the end of Friday, I'd reached the end of my first, and last, week of chef school. I had set a goal. It hadn't worked. I found another. I moved on.
Julia Child had it down – her philosophy was work hard, take risks and if you make a mistake – don't apologize.
If you need me, I'll be on the other fork in the road.
