Grants to produce more math, science teachers
The College of William and Mary recently received nearly $2 million in grants to help prepare students to become science and math teachers in high-needs schools.
A National Science Foundation grant for $750,000 will establish the Noyce Scholars Program at the College of William and Mary, and a $1,172,507 grant from the Department of Education will establish the Teachers for a Competitive Tomorrow (TCT) Teaching Fellows Program at the College of William and Mary. The grants are being administered in a partnership between William and Mary's School of Education and the Faculty of Arts & Sciences.
"These grants from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education make clear, once again, the College's preeminence in training K-12 teachers," said William and Mary President Taylor Reveley. "It's especially good that the grants hinge on collaboration among our education, math and science faculties."
The TCT grant will support summer research and science teaching internships for 50 undergraduate students over five years. The grant will also go toward developing three new courses in an attempt to recruit more science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors into teaching. Those courses are: a freshman seminar on the importance of K-12 education to a free world, "How Students Learn," and "Theory and Reality: Practicum in Science and Math Teaching in High-Needs Schools." Support for TCT fellows is available beginning in the summer between their freshman and sophomore years at William and Mary. Upon graduation, the fellows will teach in high-needs schools.
The Noyce grant will support 33 students—about half undergraduates and half master's degree students—over five years beginning in spring 2009. The fellows will receive $10,000 per academic year for up to two years (undergraduates) or for a year for the master's degree work. Recipients will teach in high-needs public school systems for two years for each year of funding received.
"William and Mary is pleased that our science and education faculty members can be supported in their collaborative work addressing one of our nation's most pressing educational issues: improving the quality of science education for the next generation of students," said Carl Strikwerda, dean of Arts & Sciences.
Faculty members from both the School of Education and Arts & Sciences make up the team that is administering the grants. The team members include Paul Heideman, professor and chair of the biology department; Heather Macdonald, chancellor professor of geology; Margie Mason, professor of education; Juanita Jo Matkins, associate professor of education; and Virginia McLaughlin, dean of the School of Education and a co-principal investigator on both grants. For the Noyce grant, Heideman is the principal investigator and the others are co-principal investigators. For the TCT grant, Matkins is the principal investigator and the others are co-principal investigators.

For the full, official press release (with a rare quote from series editor Matthew Cheney himself!), check out the BAF blog. For information on guidelines and publicity, see the BAF website.
I'm really thrilled Kevin agreed to join our endeavor -- I can't imagine a person who would be more perfect to take over. I'm also thrilled that I was able to convince Ann and Jeff to stay on and help with some publicity and packaging, because there's a lot I still don't know about putting books together, and their experience and knowledge and patience have been essential to the series.
If you don't know Kevin Brockmeier's work ... well, didn't you read his marvelous "Fable with Slips of White Paper Spilling from the Pockets" in the first BAF? (If not, it's online here.) Aside from being world-famous for being in the monumental first volume of BAF, Kevin has also written the simply perfect story "The Brief History of the Dead", which he later expanded into a novel. And he wrote the devastating novel The Truth About Celia, which is the work of his I first read -- I happened to tell Kelly Link that I'd heard good things about it, but never read it, and she went and grabbed a copy off a shelf at home, thrust it into my hands, and said, "You must. Now." I did, and she was right.
Kevin's stories have been collected in Things that Fall from the Sky and his new book, The View from the Seventh Layer. If you haven't read any of the tales therein, you're in for a real treat.
We're still selecting the contents for Best American Fantasy 2 right now, and it's due to be released in September. I'll have more information soon about the cover artist for that book, who is, I think, a wonderful discovery, and once we settle on the contents and get the permissions, I'll make the selections and the suggested reading list public, too.

Otolaryngology is a specialty devoted to the evaluation and treatment of ear, nose and throat (ENT) disorders as well as head and neck, hearing and communication problems. We understand how ENT conditions can affect hearing, learning, speech and sleep and impact development. Our teams provide care that takes your whole child, not just the condition, into account.
ENT conditions in children can range from recurring ear infections and enlarged tonsils, to sinus diseases or a complex craniofacial anomaly (irregular or abnormal growth of head and facial bones). Nemours ear, nose and throat doctors, called otolaryngologists, are board-certified ENT surgeons who are highly trained in the latest minimally invasive and endoscopic surgery techniques.
The most common procedures our surgeons perform include:
- tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils)
- adenoidectomy (removal of the adenoidal tissue)
- myringotomy with tube placement (removal of fluid from the middle ear and insertion of ear tubes)
Nemours surgeons are also skilled in advanced reconstructive techniques and often work with other specialists to try to combine one or more surgeries during a single hospitalization, which helps reduce the number of times your child needs to receive anesthesia.

Nemours duPont Pediatrics, Philadelphia, provides personalized, comprehensive Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) services/otolaryngology for your child. Our board-certified physicians work closely with a team of specially trained healthcare providers to treat infants, children and teens with problems of the ears, nose, throat, neck, mouth, and sinuses.
Our doctors and other healthcare specialists, including audiologists (professionals who perform evaluations on children with hearing, balance, and other ear-related problems), are all under one roof, so your child can often have multiple appointments scheduled in one day for your convenience. We feature four ENT rooms and state-of-the-art equipment, including audiology booths and nasopharyngo-laryngoscopes (tiny telescopes that help the physician evaluate your child's nasal and airway passages).
Onsite pediatric Audiology services are provided by audiologists from Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, DE. Appointments for testing can be made either with or without ENT consultation and we gladly accept community referrals for audiologic services.
Our services include:
- Full hearing evaluations which may include:
- Audiometry: various age-appropriate hearing function tests
- Tympanometry: tests the function of the middle ear
- Otoacoustic emissions testing: measures hair cell response produced by the inner ear
- Central Auditory Process (CAP) testing helps detect Auditory Process Disorder (APD) in which the child has difficulty processing what is heard because the ears and brain do not fully coordinate
- Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) testing assesses the function of the auditory (hearing) nerve. Abnormal nerve function can make it difficult for children to distinguish one sound from another and understand speech clearly
- Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing is performed in infants and young children to determine how well sound travels from the ear to the brainstem. Children requiring sedated testing will be referred to the hospital location

Executive Summary:
As a Microsoft Windows administrator, in certain situations the tools you usually use to diagnose Windows system problems won't work. For those cases, the Debugging Tools for Windows can be a useful alternative troubleshooting tool. Get acquainted with the debugger by walking through this real-life case of troubleshooting the cause of bloating heap memory on a system.
As a Windows administrator, you realize the crucial role that tools play in helping you diagnose and resolve system problems. Previously, I've discussed two essential tools that help identify process leaks: user-mode dump heap (UMDH) and DebugDiag. (See this article's Learning Path for links to these and my other columns.) However, sometimes these tools add too much overhead to the system, causing high CPU usage and creating a situation that makes running UMDH or DebugDiag impractical. When your diagnostic tools fail or become unavailable, the problem becomes much more difficult to solve, so having a backup troubleshooting plan is vital.
Do you have an alternative approach when you can't use your regular set of troubleshooting tools? My aim in this article is to provide you with at least one backup plan and also demonstrate the importance of learning about Windows internals and using the Windows debugger to find helpful nuggets of diagnostic information.
Debugging a Bloated Process
Recently we resolved a customer issue where wmiprvse.exe (the WMI Provider Host process) was consuming increasing amounts of memory. The customer provided a dump file to help determine the root cause. We started by enabling DebugDiag and UMDH separately. However, when each tool ran, we saw that the CPU was constantly spiked at 100 percent, thus freezing the system. Since our regular troubleshooting tools overstressed the system, we needed to turn to our backup plan.
We had only the 185MB wmiprvse.exe process dump file to help us identify why the process had bloated to such a large size and what, if anything, the customer could do to decrease the memory consumption. First we opened the dump file using the windbg.exe debugger included in the Debugging Tools for Windows. (You can download the Debugging Tools for Windows at www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx.) The debugging toolset is a must-have for any administrator who wants to dig a little deeper into system problems. You can retrieve a lot of information from a dump file using the debuggers without being a debugging expert or having a lot of code knowledge.
To debug the dump file, we followed these steps:
1. Start windbg.exe.
2. Ensure that the Symbol path is set correctly by clicking File, Symbol File Path, then typing the following path into the box provided:
Symbols are files that translate machine code into easy-to-read function calls.)
3. Open the wmiprvse.dmp file in the Windbg debugger by selecting File, then clicking Open Crash Dump.
We then entered this command in the debugger:
!address -summary
This is a handy command because it provides a summary of the type of memory consumed within the process, as you can see in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Output of !address -summary command
The most important column in the output is the Pct(Busy) column, which represents the type of memory consumed on a percentage basis. We quickly scanned this column and identified that the RegionUsageHeap memory was the highest consumer at 74 percent. RegionUsageHeap is the label for heap memory, an area of memory reserved for processes to store data. Every process has heap memory, which is initially 1MB by default. However, this area can grow, and more memory will be allocated for the heap as the process requires.
Understanding that heap memory is where a program stores its data was a key component in our investigation. You can think of heap memory as a bucket represented as an address of memory where applications store process-specific data. Since a process can have several heap "buckets," it's important to know which bucket you want to explore because not every heap will be filled with data and high in memory usage. Our goal was to dump out the heap bucket consuming the highest amount of memory to try to identify some clues about why the process was consuming so much memory.
Consulting the Debugger Help File
As I mentioned, a process will have several heap buckets available to explore, so we needed a way to conduct a more targeted investigation. This is where the debugger Help file (debugger.chm) saved the day. I knew that we needed to use the !heap debugger command to investigate a heap-related problem in a process. However, when you aren't sure what debugger command to use, try searching in debugger.chm for a term relevant to your investigation. For example, if you search for the term "heap," the first hit you receive is the !heap command and all the !heap parameters.
Running the !heap command displays a list of heap memory addresses, but this list alone wouldn't provide us enough information to find the heap bucket containing the highest amount of memory usage. As I scrolled down through the !heap parameters, I noticed the -stat parameter, which displays heap usage statistics. Remembering our goal was to find the heap (or bucket) containing the most memory, I ran this command:
!heap -stat
As Figure 2 shows, running this command displays each heap in descending order, from highest to lowest consumer. So the first heap displayed is the heap address we need to investigate.
Figure 2: Running !heap -stat to view highest-to-lowest heap address
Notice in Figure 2, each heap bucket is designated with a specific address. The first heap bucket is designated by the 00700000 address; the next heap is located at address 00090000. The important row is Committed bytes—the amount of memory committed in this particular heap. And we know that heap 00700000 is the highest–memory-consuming heap because the -stat parameter displays each heap in highest-to-lowest order based on memory consumption. For further confirmation, we can convert the committed bytes hexadecimal number 06c03000 to decimal either using calc.exe (i.e., the Windows calculator) or within the debugger by using the ? (Evaluate Expression) command, as follows:
0:000> ?06c03000
Evaluate expression: 113258496 = 06c03000
(The second line is the command's output.) 113258496 is 06c03000 converted into decimal, so this output confirms for us that this heap address contains 113MB of memory. Considering the entire process consumed 185MB of memory, we can be fairly certain that we're on the right track. We know our process is bloating because of heap usage, and we know that our highest-consuming heap contains 113MB. Now we can enter debugger commands that will display the contents of this heap, which may point to hints about why the process is utilizing so much memory. Simply displaying the heap might not reveal a smoking gun, but the information you find could point you in the right direction, as it did for us.
To dump out the heap, we use the dc command (which displays the values as ASCII characters) followed by the heap address. So in our case, the command and partial output would look like that in Figure 3.
The output in Figure 3 reveals the beginning part of the heap.
Figure 3: Using the dc command to display a heap's contents
0:000> dc 00700000
00700000 000000c8 0000018d eeffeeff 00001002 ................

Usually you'll need to keep dumping out more and more heap (by pressing Enter after the initial dc command output is displayed), to reveal interesting information. Figure 4 shows the section of the dump containing information that helped us deduce that our heap memory was consumed with information generated by Event Tracing for Windows (ETW).

Notice we even found the filename and location in the dump: D:\AppData\Logs\MSTrace_20080615_221501_SERVER1.etl.
Problem Solved
Our biggest clue that the data contained in the heap was indeed ETW tracing-related information was the file extension .etl, which is associated with ETW. As it turned out, the customer hadn't realized ETW tracing was still enabled for a previous problem resolved months before. Turning off ETW tracing resolved the customer's problem, and the wmiprvse.exe process's memory consumption decreased immediately. By knowing a few debugger commands and a little about OS internals, you can successfully troubleshoot when your usual tools aren't available.

Martin Kirk of the HKA just sent along this interesting article printed in
the "ALOHA PRESS" six years ago. It provides a slightly different slant on
the genesis of kitesurfing than is popularly held. It is worth a read, makes
me feel like I am in Maui breaking new ground with Manu and Laird back in
the early days ...
Exploring the ultimate freedom of defying gravity - the desire to fly like a
bird is an age-old dream of human kind. Add our obsessive fascination with
the ocean and imagine the feeling of flying a kite in the vast blue space of
sea and skies. Something so rad and yet so simple that people didn't even
start to dream about - until now.
Just another sunny afternoon in Hawaii. The trade winds whip up the blue
ocean, luring zillions of windsurfers in the waves off Maui's North shore.
Suddenly a red dot appears flying in the picture-perfect azure sky, grabbing
everybody's attention along the shore. Even the traffic on Hana Highway
slows down, as drivers pop their heads out of their car windows, trying to
identify the flying object on the horizon. Beachgoers gather at the shore
line, squint their eyes in the bright sunshine, wondering aloud if this
couid be a flying saucer or maybe a giant bird.
Approaching with fast speed, the flying phenomena turns out to be a kite,
soaring 15 meters up in the skies. Like a gigantic eagle, it pulls a surfer,
footstrapped to a small board over the white-capped surface of the sea.
Mingling with the surprised windsurfers (who can't decide whether to yell at
him or cheer him on) the kite propelled surfer gracefully rides some 3-foot
waves before carving a powerful jibe in front of the speechiess beach crowd.
Heading out in the open ocean again, he jumps over the incoming set and is -
as suddenly as he came - gone with the wind, leaving the spectators in awe
and amazement.
Taking wind-surfing literally to new heights, Fly-Surfer Emmanuel "Manu"
Bertin just gave another performance of fly-surfing. The 33-year old
Frenchman along with legendary Waterman Laird Hamilton developed this new
wind sport - uniting their love for the ocean with the fascination of flying
an aircraft.
"It's a totally new sensation", describes ex-windsurf pro Bertin, "the sky
as the third dimension becomes involved and the absence of weight gives you
a whole different feeling of freedom out there."
Worldwide, kites were already used to pull beach carts, water skis and even
snow boards. But in 1995, when Laird and Manu got serious to pursue their
idea of kite-surfing - as they called it in the beginning - there were no
kites in sight that wouid work in the ocean.
"We first experimented with six original power kites that I brought back
from the French manufacturer ITV - a paraglider company that holds the speed
sailing record. We flew them in Lairds backyard and even strapped ourselves
to an old truck, so the kites wouldn't take off with us," recalls Bertin,
whose nickname Manu means 'bird' in the Hawaiian language. After two months
of learning how to handle the power kites on land, the guys hit the water
and -unintentionally- stirred up some commotion.
"The first time we went out with a couple of guys on jetskis, a boat and
Laird's tow-in surfboard", Manu remembers, chuckling,"lt was a Kona wind day
and we flew the kite about 50 meters up in the sky. Suddenly all hell broke
loose at the beach -firefighters, lifeguards and police officers gathered on
shore, jumping up and down the beach. Turned out that we were in the
approaching corridor of Kahului Airport and the incoming planes were kind of
irritated by our kite. They almost arrested us !"
The legend of Icarus already taught that flying too high can be treacherous.
However, the power kites did not work in the ocean. Sinking in the water,
not being able to water start and needing a couple of people to start flying
the kites were set-backs that put Manu & Co. back to square one. Bertin
describes: "My main concern was to have a safe and fairly indestructible
kite that couid be water started without help. I was always striving for
simple solutions, which are of course the hardest to come by."
Manu was looking for a wing rather than a kite. He explains: "The idea of
Fly Surfing is this: one flies a kite, but a wing flies you! That's a big
difference. While a wing can make you fly, a normal kite doesn't." After an
odyssey around the globe looking for the magical wing, the visionary
Frenchman found the answer to his prayers. Two inventors, Bruno and
Dominique Legaignoux, from Brittany/France held a patent for a marine wing
named WIPIKA (wind powered inflatable kite aircraft). With inflatable air
chambers to make the aircraft float on the water, it seemed to be the
perfect solution. The brothers originally designed their marine wing to
propel catamarans - Fly Surfing didn't even cross their minds. When Manu
showed up at their doorsteps, they shook their heads in disbelief as they
heard about the idea of wind-surfing with a kite, but nonetheless supported
their passionate fellow countryman. What they thought impossible, was that
Manu rode the board snowboard-style, without stance switch after turns.
With the blessings of the Legaignoux brothers and a prototype WIPIKA in his
luggage, Bertin continued his journey to Italy, where windsurf board shaper
Roberto Ricci developed a suitable board. Ricci emerged from his shaping
room with a 7 foot (205 cm) long, 15 inches (37 cm) wide, dome decked
hybrid-board called "Kite-Surfer" - a cross between a surfboard (outline), a
wake board (extreme nose kick) and a snow board (sharp rails).
Back on Maui, Bertin spent countless hours testing and optimizing the
equipment. Crashing and burning in the process. Spending all his savings on
the vision to create the ultimate Fly Surf gear. Fighting skepticism along
the way, but also finding partners like Keith Baxter from Hawailan Proline
and shaping maestro Sean Ordonez.
Baxter custom-produces the 80 cm long carbon fiber, EVA gripped boom bar
with which the Kite-Surfer directs the kite. The air-craft is connected to
the boom's ends with two tear-resistant Spectra lines, which were designed
for NASA. Also, a harness line dangles from the boom, in which the
Fly-Surfer hooks in like a reqular windsurfer. Baxter shares Manu's
fascination: "It's such a thrilling sport. Incredibly fast and free. Just
look at the crowds that Manu is drawing wherever he shows up. He's
harnessing the power of the wind and water in a fascinating way. For sure,
there is a future in kite-surting !"
Sean Ordonez employed his expertise in shaping a new board for Bertin. After
one week of intense thinking, his mastermind came up with a tow-in surfboard
resembling, 6'11" long "FIy-Surfer with a special bottom designed for
waveriding, going upwind and staying in control. Manu comments: "This board
really changed my life."
The Frenchman's marine wing quiver consists of three custom-made marine
kites (4.5 square meter, 5.5 sm, 8.5 sm), which allow him to fly over the
ocean in various conditions from virtually no wind up to blasting trades of
30 mph.
With air in the six air chambers, the kites weigh only one kilogram. But
doesn't the power of the wind virtually pull the surfer out of the water?
"No," explains Bertin, "see, the 'window of flight' is 180 degrees. In the
90 degree position, which is when the kite flies directly above you, you
have the maximum lift and minimum pull. So, let's say, you fall in the
water, the kite goes vertically up and it'll wait for you up there - without
any pull."
This part of going up into the vertical position rather than crashing in the
ocean makes the WIPIKA marine wing such an unique design. It's the only kite
in the worid behaving this way. Congenial in the simplicity of the concept
and extremely refined in design- after all, the two French brothers spent
twelve years in R&D- there is still a lot of work to be done. In order to
control the power in the wing, the flying lines need refinements.
The real bad news, though, is that you cannot walk in a store and buy your
own wings - not yet. Although visions can be contagious, finding a
manufacturer to produce the WIPIKA turned out to be a major obstacle. "It's
a challenge to produce an aircraft', admits Bertin.
Occasionally, Bertin is willing to teach some friends. Famous names such as
windsurf legend Robby Naish and the German wave sailor Robby Seeger signed
up for a beginner lesson with the pioneer. Australian windsurf pro Luke
Hargreaves already had the chance to be under Manu's wings for a day and
says excitedly :
"It took me ten minutes to get going. It was an incredible feeling of
No mast, no sail, just a light kite up in the sky - I really want to do it
again !"
For sure, you need to understand the rules of flying a kite before venturing
out in the ocean. "You have to keep in mind, a kite is an aircraft - not a
sail", emphasizes the bird man. "It's governed by the rule that the wing is
heavier than air, so you've got to know first how to fly a kite, which is
easy. Left, right. That's it. Once you know how to do that on land, you're
ready to try it at sea. Just bodydragging first without a board, then you
can get strapped in. You don't need to know much about aircrafts to Fly
Surf. I don't. You just need a good wing."
While the rest of us might need some time to truly understand and catch up
with the outrageous idea of Fly Surfing, the ploneers keep painfully
laboring over refinements in reliability and improvements to simplify the
gear. Yet, it's safe to say that a new sport is born and a handful of
dreamers bear the financial burdens of growing pains.
At times, Bertin was so broke that he didn't own a car. But when the bird
man walked miles back home in the fading daylight, after hours in harmony
with the elements- his board under one arm and the kite stuffed in a small
backpack - the gleam in his eyes showed that he was the richest man on
earth. After all, he has a dream that just came true.

How TheLadders Achieved Cloud Scale
Last Thursday, I presented at the Clustrix NYC roadshow. Technical executives and leaders from two of the world's largest database groups on Meetup, New York City's MySQL and NewSQL groups, were treated to an in-depth presentation about our direct experience with Clustrix, a leading scale-out database. The event, hosted at our SoHo office, drew attendees from companies like SMBC Capital Markets, Getty Images, Pythian, Pixable, M-Square, and ACES.
Historically, databases were the bottleneck in any system, and in the web world, often the primary cause of website downtime and bad user experience. We wanted to keep the downtime as low as possible, so we looked for different ways to scale our database. We also wanted our developers to focus on adding value to our product, rather than spending time working on a database layer. The goal was to scale the system smoothly and economically as requirements increased. A new database system would be able to handle large numbers of concurrent users, provide continuous availability, and process extremely large data sets.
We had several options to scale our database: break it to smaller databases called shards, migrate to a simple key-value or a document store, buy a big iron database, or adopt a modern internet-scale database solution called NewSQL.
The term NewSQL was first introduced by The 451 Group analyst Matthew Aslett in a 2011 research paper discussing the rise of new database systems as challengers to established vendors.
"NewSQL is used to describe… new relational database products and services designed to bring the benefits of the relational model to distributed architectures, or to improve the performance of relational databases to the extent that horizontal scalability is no longer a necessity."
– The 451 Group
TheLadders became one of the first adopters of NewSQL database technology, which is why I was invited to present at the Clustrix NYC Roadshow. I spoke about scalable database solutions, costs and benefits, comparison, selection, implementation process, and a little bit about the future of the NewSQL database market.
The presentation explained the rigorous evaluation and decision-making processes my team undertook to choose a scale-out primary database and captured the audience's attention right away. Clearly, we understood how critical it was to put the right database solution in place to help power our business. And we left no stone unturned in our evaluation of alternatives. Several attendees mentioned that the depth and detail of the evaluation were highlights for them. The audience walked away with first-hand insight about the strengths and weaknesses of the many alternative products and approaches evaluated by my team.
Of course, what they ultimately wanted to know was why TheLadders chose Clustrix and what results we experienced. Several attendees took notes as I walked through the specific, detailed criteria and performance results that led to Clustrix as the clear choice. Wrapping up with details about the implementation process brought it all home for attendees, as there's nothing like learning from real-world implementation experience.
Sergei Tsarev, Clustrix CTO and founder, followed up with an overview of the Clustrix solution, use cases, and architecture. He then closed the session with a live demo of Clustrix on Amazon Cloud (AWS), demonstrating the simplicity of starting up the Clustrix scale-out SQL database on AWS in 6 easy steps, and under 10 minutes.
As expected with the technical experts in the crowd, the Q&A session got fairly deep on the inner workings of Clustrix and how it has performed and evolved at TheLadders. The informal networking after the presentations prompted even more thought-provoking questions and insightful discussions.
Overall, it was a great event and the Clustrix team was grateful to TheLadders for hosting and presenting our story. Perhaps the clearest sign of the event's impact was that multiple attendees stated that they were "convinced," and wanted to start testing Clustrix right away. I think that speaks volumes to the clarity of the presentation and the credibility of the Clustrix database solution.

This looks delightful! Wish I could it some right now! Instead, I'm laying in bed sick :/
Your blog is great–keep it up! It's one of my favorites!!!
I'm sorry you're sick Vanessa. Get feeling better soon. I'll bring
you some right now.
This looks really good! I grew up with rice pudding. We call it "Milchreis" (milk rice) in Germany; and I love it! Thanks for sharing this. It inspired me to make this again. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome. Thank you for the buttermilk recipe. I really enjoy
your blog. I can't wait to try some of your recipes.
Not sure what it is, your wonderful words describing the warm pudding or your gorgeous pictures, but I could't resist this recipe! Came across your post on Tastespotting and I pinned the recipe immeditaely, can't wait to make this! And glad to be your newest follower 🙂
totally delicious
Thank you, Jess, so much for such kind words. I hope you enjoy the rice pudding. I'm so glad you found me.
The ingredients list at the very top (under the photo of the ingredients) says 1/4 CUP of salt. I don't use salt at all, normally, so I don't know appropriate amounts, but that seemed a bit excessive until I read the ingredients list at the bottom and it said 1/4 TSP of salt. That's much more believable!
Thank you so much for doing my proof reading. That should be 1/4 teaspoon of salt. I have corrected the amount. What would I do with out such great followers.
I love the little cups that you have! Where did you find these?
The little cups are actually used for canning. They come with glass lids, rubber rings and metal clips. They are so cute I can hardly stand it.
They are made by "Wreck". Crate and Barrel carries several different styles. I did a web search and found them here: http://www.heathceramics.com/go/heath/homeware/store/index.cfm?catID=53 Amazon also has several styles. They would make cute gifts filled with jam, jelly or curd, etc. I just can't get myself to give them away.
You can also buy them directly from the Wreck company—-they are adddictive
You can also by them directly from Weck—- http://weckjars.com/ — I LOVE my Weck jars. (Oh, yes—-it's Weck, not Wreck)
Thank you for the correction. I terrible at proof reading. I'll make the change. Thanks
I just made this with Bailey's instead of cream, added a tiny bit more egg and cornstarch, and it's AMAZING!
Way to kick it up a knotch.
You list all of the ingredients except for the eggs. It looks like 2 eggs….but are you using the whole egg or just the yolks?
I am so sorry. That has been corrected. Yes, two eggs beaten. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
I just made this last night– and oh boy! It was divine. Thank you for teaching us how to temper eggs. It makes a HUGE difference. No more egg chunks in my rice pudding EVER again!
Hooray Sarah! I'm so glad you tried the rice pudding. I really appreciate success stores. Way to go.
I'm about to make this as soon as I print the recipe and go downstairs to the kitchen…had to tell you I made a loat of cranberry bread and wow was it wonderful and so, so easy. We loved it and I plan to make another loaf this afternoon for a friend. Also, made the muesli and we had it for breakfact this morning…also yummy. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful lover of food and sharing everything with us!
I'm so glad you found my site and have tried some of the recipes. I just sent a jar of this rice pudding with my daughter who is back off to college. I hope your family enjoys it as much as we do. Thanks for your kind comments.
Hi Anon, I had some issues moderating comments and accidentally deleted your question. Yes you may substitute whole milk. I used to use 2/3 canned milk and one day I didn't have canned milk, but I had cream. I loved how creamy it made the pudding. You can use whatever milk you have. I hope you love it. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! I made this the other day and topped it with poached plums, and it turned out splendidly. It was so easy and everyone in the house went crazy over it. Thank you again!
Now that just sounds divine. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing your inspiration.
I was going to make rice pudding tonight for the first time in…well, forever! But, your recipe looks so much better than the very simple one I had. I'm going with yours. Thank you! (P.S. I'm adding the flies, but golden flies.)
Thank you, Janet! It is wonderful! Used 2-1/2 cups of half-n-half, as well as some "golden flies", and it turned out GREAT!
I'm sure you pudding was just amazing with the 1/2 & 1/2. Golden flies are such a great addition. thanks for sharing.
Have you used buttermilk in rice pudding? I have some left over that I need to use.
Oh my gosh! This is my first time making rice pudding, and I came across your recipe and I gotta say it's Amazing! I swear it tastes better than the kozy shack pudding!! I will never buy rice pudding ever again! Your recipe got me hooked! I absolutely love It! Thank you so much for sharing!

AICPA Pushes Back on IRS E-Services Closures
July 18, 2013
As soon as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced in June that it planned to close down the Disclosure Authorization (DA) and Electronic Account Resolution (EAR) products on e-services, the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) opened a dialogue with the IRS to strongly urge it to reverse its decision. On July 15, 2013 the AICPA's official comment letter was sent to the IRS.
Throughout our discussions, we have made sure the IRS knows that we continue to receive calls and e-mails from members and the state CPA societies opposing the planned shutdown. The majority of the calls from AICPA members express concern about the retirement of the Disclosure Authorization service, which allows practitioners to electronically submit a Power of Attorney (Form 2848) and obtain tax transcripts online instead of submitting Power of Attorney forms by fax or mail.
The AICPA's letter from Jeffrey A. Porter, chair of the AICPA Tax Executive Committee, stated, "The AICPA strongly urges the IRS to reconsider the planned retirement of the DA and EAR e-services as they are valuable tools used by tax practitioners to submit disclosure authorizations such as Form 2848, Power of Attorney, as well as to address client account issues in a timely manner. While it was noted that the reason for the decision to discontinue both e-services is due to 'low' usage, the IRS's 2012 Data Book reports that for fiscal year 2012, approximately 330,000 disclosure authorizations were requested electronically. We feel that this is not a 'low' number, but rather it indicates how integral the DA service is to tax practitioners and, therefore, believe it is important to continue to offer it as well as the EAR e-service to the many tax practitioners who have come to rely on these services."
Porter also argued that "if the IRS discontinues these valuable e-services, tax practitioners will be forced to call the Practitioner Priority Service (PPS) for assistance with client account issues on a more frequent basis. While PPS is highly valued by tax practitioners, wait times to speak to an IRS customer service representative regarding client account problems have increased over the last several years to thirty minutes or more.
The IRS has indicated it would continue to explore "an electronic replacement for DA and EAR" in the future. Both services are currently open and fully functional, and will remain available for use until they are retired on August 11, 2013.
Our sources at the IRS have indicated that the agency will not extend the August 11 cutoff date. However, we will continue to push for the IRS to provide these services electronically, to better communicate with stakeholders, and to continuously seek our members' input on the services that are going to be available via the new portal the IRS expects to roll out. We will convey to the IRS our members' preferences as we receive feedback from our members.

Security has been increased at Independence High School after two students were arrested and accused of making threats against the school, Tangipahoa Parish school Superintendent Mark Kolwe said Thursday.
Principal Hugh Wallace said the students' grandmother called the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office on Tuesday after finding written threats in the boys' room at home, Kolwe said in a written statement.
Kolwe did not disclose the nature of the threats or the students' names.
Due to the grandmother's concerns, she kept the boys at home, Kolwe said.
Authorities searched the house, found the written threats and booked the two students into the Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center, the superintendent said.
"At no time were these two students on the campus of Independence High School," Kolwe said. "There was never a security breach on campus, and classes continued without interruption. The school was never in lockdown."
Additional security was provided on campus as a precautionary measure and the school continues to operate as usual, he said.

It is the policy of The City University of New York and Hunter College to prohibit sexual harassment of employees and students. It is a violation of policy for any member of the college community to take action against any individual for reporting sexual harassment.
Hunter College has a sexual harassment panel, appointed by the President, which consists of faculty, staff, and students. The panel is charged with ensuring that the college community is familiar with the sexual harassment policies of Hunter College and the City University. Other responsibilities include investigating reports of sexual harassment and forwarding findings and recommendations to the college President. A member of the faculty, staff, or a student should report sexual harassment occurrences to a member of the Sexual Harassment Panel or to the Dean of Students, and, if required, to the local city police precinct. Reporting information can also be found in college catalogs and schedule of classes.
Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements, should also contact their union representative to file a formal grievance if they are being sexually harassed by a member of their department. Confidential counseling is available through the Office of the Dean of Students and through the Employee Assistance Program.
The entire Hunter College Sexual Harassment Policy can be found on the Human Resources website.

We at Sunshine Profits are deeply convinced that the bullish fundamentals for the precious metals market are still in place, and are not easily put off by recent corrections. But how to tell which asset will outperform the others when the market finally starts to rally strongly? You might have noticed that we quite often use various ratios on our charts – such a technique is called Relative Strength Analysis and helps an analyst tell which of the two assets (or group of assets) is likely to do better in the future. This may be done to compare two particular assets (such as silver:gold ratio) or two groups of assets (such as the general stock market and precious metals stocks – SPX:GDX ratio).
In this essay, we will focus on the three most important precious metals: gold, silver and platinum and will try to apply the above-mentioned technical tool to predict which one of these may bring the highest profits in the near future. It is important, however, to bear in mind that even if one finds the asset that is likely to outperform the others in the same class of assets (such as a particular metal in the precious metals sector, or a particular mining stock among gold and silver stocks) it is still a very good idea to diversify and include also other assets from the same group in your portfolio. The thing is that finding the most likely outperformer(s) helps us set the right proportions for our portfolio but diversification is insurance in case we make a mistake or an unlikely event able to thwart our plans occurs
With the above in mind, let us jump into the technical part of today's essay – we'll begin with gold's long term chart (charts courtesy by http://stockcharts.com.)
We see that prices have moved above the 60-week moving average. The bottom appears to have formed at the level of the April 2012 low. An ABC zigzag correction pattern is in place now and is similar to what was seen at the beginning of 2009 and also in late 2009-2010 (and on multiple other occasions). It seems quite likely at this time that gold's correction has completed.
That's not a new information, but it's worth repeating as it's so important – gold has been correcting for about 1.5 year now, which makes one of the longest or the longest (depending on the exact definition) consolidation since the beginning of this bull market. Consolidations are necessary to cool down the optimism and shake "weak hands" out of the market. With analysts and banks lowering their gold price targets for the coming years, it seems that the "necessary sentiment damage" has already been done and that gold can now continue its upward path – in tune with its fundamental factors.
Now, let us move on to the silver market and have a look at the white metal's long-term chart.
We see that silver's price is above a major long-term support line, and this makes for a bullish picture overall. It is only a bit more bullish than not, however, because silver's price is below two important moving averages, the 10-week and 50-week. If silver just moves a bit higher (above these moving averages), then it is quite likely to rally much more in the weeks which follow, and this is something that we expect to see.
Now, let us compare gold and silver to see which one's likely to outperform the other in the weeks to come.
In the very long-term silver to gold ratio chart, we see that the ratio has consolidated for a few months, and, with a rising resistance line and declining support line, the situation is inconclusive. If the RSI is taken into account, however, it seems likely that a local bottom was seen recently, and a bet on silver's outperformance in the coming weeks seems to be a good idea today.
Finally, let's take a look at the platinum's performance relative to gold.
An important event was seen recently as the ratio broke out above the very long-term resistance line. This is visible here and it seems that a rally back to the values seen in previous years will likely be seen once again. We realize that this is a very broad target; however, if you consider the trading range during the previous 20 years, you will see that this means a significant upside from today's values.
For over a year now (with a short exception), the ratio has held below the 1.0 level meaning that platinum was cheaper than gold. This is not something that is often seen – if you focus on the last 20 years. We expect this situation to reverse in the months ahead and are quite bullish on platinum. The long-term cyclical turning point has once again worked out very well, closely aligned with a major bottom.
Please note that platinum is currently part of our suggested precious metals portfolio (and that's been the case for several months now).
Summing up, the bottom has likely been reached for gold and the situation remains bullish for the weeks ahead. The bullish situation in the gold market combined with the situation in the silver to gold ratio chart indicates a bullish outlook for the white metal. Another noteworthy factor is the oversold situation in the silver to gold ratio and silver having just bottomed close to its cyclical turning point. The long-term outlook is a bit more bullish than not, and our view is that long positions in silver are justified at this time. We don't see the $1 trillion platinum coin idea coming into life, but the platinum to gold ratio suggests that the yellow metal may be outperformed in the near future.
Thank you for reading. Have a great weekend and profitable week!

When the Moto2 Championship was conceived, the racing public was pitched the idea of exotic prototype racing machines that would be built around production-based motors. Immediately the idea of a grid full of Bimota-like machines began to tickle our fancy, however the reality has been that Moto2 chassis designs have been far-more grounded in their approaches and configurations.
Though we did see Bimota build a Moto2 racer with the Bimota HB4, it is motorcycles like the Vyrus 986 M2 that we really want to see filling the Moto2 grid. Of course with the spec-engine rules, races are being won and lost by just the smallest differences in chassis specifications, making the use of exotic designs a venerable game of Russian roulette. Don't tell any of this to Rondine though, as the Italian firm is working hard on a unique Moto2 design of its own.

PHILADELPHIA -- Doug Collins' first Sixers team was 3-13, won nine of 11 late in the season, and made the playoffs.
Doug Collins' second Sixers team lost nine of 11 in the spring, but won four of their last five and a playoff round.
Doug Collins' third Sixers team was 15-22 Saturday as it landed in the Wells Fargo Center, where it would play 12 of its next 13. And?
"We're not going to splinter," Collins said. "That's not going to happen. Not as long as I am the coach. That won't happen."
He said so with deep credibility, two seasons' worth, two seasons where his team was prematurely considered finished, by the public, sometimes in print. He said so in January, not March, with more than half a season to play and a wicked hunk of its schedule behind.
He said so even though his center hasn't played, might never play, and might not be what he was expected to be even if he does play. He said so as his defense has vanished and his offense has retreated to the perimeter.
He said it, and he meant it, because he knows how a clubhouse works, and not always in basketball.
"They used to ask Casey Stengel how he kept his teams together," Collins said. "And he said, 'I keep the nine guys who like me from the 15 who don't.'"
It was unclear if the Hall of Fame manager said that while he was managing the Yankees to seven world championships, or whether it was when his Mets were losing 120 out of a buck-60. What was clear was that it has been OK to ask of the Sixers recently, "Can't anybody here play this game?"
They can play basketball, and they did Saturday, defeating the Houston Rockets, 107-100. They won the way they were constructed to win, with Andrew Bynum or by all means without. They moved the ball and swished jumpers, defended at least enough to challenge shots, and ran the way the home team is supposed to run -- comfortably, effectively, like they enjoyed it, not like they were lugging the burden of Bynum's bowling bag.
"What I want for our guys, more than anything else, is to have one of those games where they just feel good playing," Collins said. "I don't think people realize how losing weighs on these guys. These guys are disappointed. They don't want to lose. They want to win. So it is up to me to not let them get discouraged, to keep them chipping away at the rock. You need to get that first win before you get two in a row."
Collins spent the past few days appealing to his captains, Thad Young, Jason Richardson and Jrue Holiday, asking them to lead, reminding them not to look back. He mixed Damien Wilkins further into his rotation for a defensive presence at the playing-time expense of Nick Young. Thus, the winning formula: Some motivation, some practical moves.
"The only thing you can do is learn from what happened," Collins said. "I don't want to make any excuses, but I don't think any team in the league played that kind of a 15-game schedule, 13 on the road, with the teams we played, four without Jrue. When they are bunched like that, it's tough."
The Sixers may not be a classic NBA team, but they had to be better than they'd shown in their previous five, all losses, none really close. The other night, Collins threw a shot at, of all vulnerable targets, the Big East, saying that unlike that conference, he couldn't write his own schedule. Such has been his position, that the worst of the workload is behind.
But at home or deep in a holiday-time road trip, some basketball standards matter. The Sixers met most of them Saturday, rebounding with authority, shooting comfortably and making 17,329 wonder what all that Jeremy Lin carry-on is about.
With that, they were 1-0 in their 12-of-13 homestand, and showed why it might matter -- now, and when Bynum returns. Because just like those other years under their coach, when they had the chance, they didn't splinter.

Moore, Hooper Named AP All-Americans
Lincoln - Nebraska's Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper became the first women's basketball teammates in NU history to be Associated Press All-Americans in the same season when honors were announced Tuesday.
Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., captured honorable-mention All-America accolades from the AP for the second straight season. The two-time first-team All-Big Ten performer ranked among the top five players in the conference in scoring (17.9 ppg) and rebounding (8.8 rpg) for the second straight season. She became the first player in Nebraska history to produce a pair of 600-point/300-rebound seasons, accomplishing the feat in both 2011-12 and 2012-13. Hooper will enter her senior season No. 10 on Nebraska's career scoring list (1,685) and No. 5 on NU's career rebounding (811) within striking distance of both school records. She also owns 215 career three-pointers, well within reach of the school record in that category as well.
Moore, a 5-9 point guard from Covington, Wash., spent her senior season rewriting the Nebraska record books while leading the Huskers to their second NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance in the past four years. Moore shattered school records for career starts (132), career minutes played (4,360) and victories (94). She also set the career assist record (699) while matching the single-season assist mark (195). Moore ended her career ranked 11th in school history in scoring (1,673) and ninth in steals (208).
As a senior, Moore led the Huskers to their third NCAA Tournament appearance in the past four years by averaging 15.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. She also led the Big Ten with her 2.14 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Moore led Nebraska to the three best seasons in school history during her four years in Lincoln, including a 32-2 season and the school's first NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 2009-10. As a freshman starter, she helped All-American Kelsey Griffin and the Huskers to the Big 12 regular-season title. As a junior in 2011-12, Moore led NU to a 24-9 mark and a Big Ten Tournament runner-up finish before advancing to the NCAA Tournament. As a senior, Moore guided the Huskers to a 25-9 finish that included a Big Ten regular-season runner-up finish, before advancing to the school's second NCAA Sweet Sixteen.
Moore is expected to be chosen in the 2013 WNBA Draft, which will be televised live in primetime by ESPN2 on Monday, April 15 at 7 p.m. (CT).

Clinical Ethics Consultation Service
Modern Health care offers many choices for treatment. Having lots of options is often a blessing. But sometimes it can pose hard questions. Instead of asking, "What can be done?"we often find ourselves asking "What should be done?" or "What is the best thing to do?" Deciding which treatment is best for a specific patient can be a challenge.When hard choices arise, people can disagree about what to do.Talking with the medical team and other health care workers can help. But even then, everyone may not agree and there may be conflict and anger. In these cases, an ethics consult may help those involved understand the situation better and agree on what to do. If you would like someone to help you make a decision, the Clinical Ethics Consultation Team is prepared to listen and to respond.
Who are the Clinical Ethics Consultants?
The consult service is directed by Dr. Christine Bishop. She is assisted by professionals such as nurses, doctors, chaplains, social workers, attorneys, and others.
When Might An Ethics Consult Be Helpful?
People request ethics consults for many reasons. Examples include:
· Decisions about treatments near the end of life
· Questions about who should speak for an unconscious patient
· Questions about refusing suggested treatment
· Situations where family members disagree about a patient's care
· When treatments are in conflict with a patient or family's religious or cultural beliefs
Who Can Request a Consult?
Anyone involved in the patient's care can request a consult.This is of then the patient, family, doctors, nurses, social workers, or other health care workers.
What Happens During A Consult?
The consultation team will talk with the health care team, family, and the patient in order to understand everyone's concerns.The team will respect the interests and rights of all involved. The consultants will suggest options for the patient's care.
Please Note: Ethics consultants only give advice. While they often suggest and present options, the final decisions remain with the doctors, patient, and family.
The purpose of an ethics consult is to assist and support, not to make decisions for the involved parties.
The consults are free of charge. The ethics consultants will respect your privacy and ensure complete confidentiality within legal limits.
How Do I Request A Consult?
Anyone involved in the patient's care can request a consult by calling (336)-713-4400 at any time.

Is LASIK the right choice for you?
LASIK has delighted millions of patients worldwide, but it is not suited for everyone. As a patient, it is important that you have a clear understanding of the surgery, the procedure's advantages and risks, and whether or not you would make a good candidate.
LASIK was first approved for use by the FDA in 1998 and has been gaining steadily in popularity. Each year, approximately 700,000 Americans have the procedure and the vast majority of patients are happy with their results. As with all surgery, however, there are risks associated with the procedure. As a result, some patients have experienced complications or side effects that have negatively affected their eyes and quality of life.
The information provided here is intended to help you:
• Understand what LASIK is
• Be aware of what would make you a good or poor candidate for LASIK
• Be aware of and understand the possible risks and complications of LASIK
• Select a surgeon
• Evaluate LASIK advertising
• Become familiar with the Informed Consent process.

Bauer Shuts Down TCU, UCLA Advances To CWS Finals With 10-3 Win
June 26, 2010
NCAA Release
OMAHA, Neb. – The UCLA Bruins jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the first and cruised to a 10-3 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday afternoon in game 13 of the College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium. The Bruins will play for their first national title beginning Monday at 6:30 p.m. CT against the winner of tonight's contest between Clemson and South Carolina.
UCLA rode the coattails of starter Trevor Bauer's 13-strikeout performance, making him the nation's leader with 165 strikeouts this year. Bauer (12-3) retired nine of the final 10 batters he faced, fanning the last four hitters he faced before exiting after eight innings. He held the Frogs to three runs on four hits, as the Bruins held TCU to its lowest hit total of the year.
The Bruin offense powered out 15 hits, paced by designated hitter Blair Dunlap's 3-for-5, three-RBI day. Second baseman Cody Regis and third baseman Dean Espy each chipped in a pair of RBIs, as UCLA reached the MCWS finals for the first time in program history.
The Frogs struck first in the opening frame when catcher Bryan Holaday bashed a 2-1 pitch to left for his 16th home run of the season. Holaday added his second homer of the game in the fifth, marking his fourth long ball of the series and third in the last two games.
The wheels quickly fell off for TCU in the bottom half of the first, as Dunlap put a charge in a 1-0 pitch from TCU starter Kyle Winkler and sent it sailing over the leftfield wall for a three-run homer. Center fielder Beau Amaral was hit by a pitch to open the inning and shortstop Niko Gallego followed with a single prior to Dunlap's blast. The long ball chased Winkler (12-3) out of the game as he threw just nine pitches and suffered the loss.
Paul Gerrish came on in relief, but the Bruins weren't finished yet. Gerrish issued a walk to Regis, who eventually scored when Jeff Gelalich smacked a double to the gap in left-center. Gelalich made his way home on Espy's infield single, giving the Bruins a 5-1 advantage after just an inning.
Trailing 6-1 in the fourth, TCU manufactured a run, as Matt Curry reached on an error to start the inning. A wild pitch and base knock moved Curry to third before designated hitter Joe Weik's sac fly to deep center pulled TCU within four.
After Holaday's second homer of the day cut UCLA's lead to 6-3, the Bruins generated a pair of runs to widen the margin back to 8-3. Regis drove in Gallego with a run-scoring single, while Dunlap singled and later scored on a passed ball.
The Bruins continued to wreak havoc on the TCU bullpen in the seventh. Espy drilled the first pitch of the frame to left for his ninth home run of the season, and catcher Steve Rodriguez made it 10-3 as he crossed the plate when TCU leftfielder Jason Coats mishandled Amaral's double down the leftfield line.

Style # 206032
AVAILABILITY: Unavailable for immediate shipment.
Jeweled Rhinestone Cuff Watch - WEB EXCLUSIVE is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by datNYchik from Beautiful watches! Both the black and silver versions of this watch went on sale, and I got both. They are even prettier in person. I am so glad that they were made to fit a small wrist; the description says they are 7" in circumference, and my wrist is like 6 & 1/4 inches, so that works out great. The black one has a more subtle sparkle, and the silver has a brilliant, bold sparkle. However, the black one doesn't clasp as tightly as it should (I hear it randomly click back into place when I move my arm around alot). Other than that my only complaint is that Bebe shipped the watches running...normally the knob on the side is pulled so that the watch won't run and use battery while it's being shipped. But both of these were running when I got them.
Date published: 2013-04-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by Htzswt from Loving the cuff style! The overall look is cute, it's a watch and bracelet all in one.

Making the Jobless Rate a Moving Target
Some football teams have no trouble marching down the field but sputter once they reach the red zone.
In the 12 months through this past September, the U.S. economy saw unemployment fall each month by a 10th of a percentage point on average per month. If economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires are right about Friday's government report, February's rate will have only dropped back to the same 7.8% seen in September.

More Grumbling Eddie
Meet Grumbling Eddie.
He looks fairly unhappy, doesn't he?
I don't know what his problem is. He won't tell me. He just huffs and yowls when I ask, then turns away.
He's on the move a lot, trying to get things done. What things? You ask him. I'm not interested in getting told off again by a small blue creature.
For someone only 6 inches tall, he sure is feisty.
I've heard him laugh once or twice, but it's more in mockery or sarcasm. He yaps at me, but I have no clue what he's saying. Which annoys him. He delivers a perfect "You understand what I'm saying. Don't play dumb with me" expression.
I think it's better that I don't know what he's saying. I get the distinct impression it's not very nice.
Maybe once he achieves...whatever it is he's hoping to achieve, he'll be in a sunnier mood.
