That's an interesting idea that I'll have to check out. I earlier mentioned that I was going to test the delete + insert version, and it works pretty well. I got it down to about 3 minutes using that method. I'll test the savepoint and the exception version that you listed as well.

Vladimir Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
When skilling always take transfusion when you can. leveling it up will make it do more damage, reduce the cool down, and also keep you alive!!
Sanguine pool should be used as a escape or it should be used right after Hemoplague for a bump in damage when you wanna kill that other guy.
Tides of blood is a great skill but not really needed early game because of its hit point cost.
when you are in the mid lane stay back near tower until you got 4 points into transfusion. (in some cases it might work to only put points into Q and W and just skip E till later game.)
Also as for Leviathan you can get it if you want or if you need or want to put out more damage you could just get another zhonya's ring for a ap boost. (DO FORGET HIS PASSIVE BENEFITS FROM AP AND HP)
As for summoner skills if you don't wanna use the ones i have other i think are also good are ignite, flash (for nuke), and heal is ok for early game but not really late.
Please tell me you experiences with your builds and mine and please on +1/-1 if u comment on why so i can try and improve the build.
Thank you and enjoy!

teacher in Dutch needed!!!! (Kiev)
I am a postgraduate student and I am going to start my job in Kiev in September. I am planning to move to the Netherlands in 10 months, therefore I need to speak Dutch. Since I am EXTRA motivated to learn Dutch, I need a good and intensive guidance from a Dutch speaking teacher. My plan is to be able to held a conversation and to comprehend 80% of Dutch listening until this Christmas. It will be easy to work with me, because I NEED to have a result and I realize that this is mostly dependent on myself (how many time I will contribute to that). I am willing to start as soon as possible!!!! As I see the working schedule - I will be able to have classes on weekend (this is mandatory - at least 3 hours on Saturday and Sunday) and Protected content during the working week. The classes during the week should be after 20.00. It can be two 1-1,5 hours' classes.
I really need YOU teaching me Dutch. I would gratefully meet with YOU to discuss the details!!

To old friends and new friends from my book signing/
You know the feeling of being loved and appreciated by who you are and what you do? I hope you do, because I do. My friend Taralyn Quigley was kind to take some pictures of the book signing event for A PORTRAIT A DAY: ONE PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNEY and I wanted to share with you.
Tonight I want to share the wonderful feelings I had in my first book signing for my book A Portrait a Day: One Photographer's Journey. And share the images Tara took of us.
Many of you I had seen just once, and some kept in touch through the year. Some, actually became friends for life. And yet, so many people came to see me and meet other people and get the book last week.
My first book signing was celebrated with some food, some drinks, and great connections. It was a time of happiness and achievement and great laughs. A great time to see my old friends and a time to re-connect with new friends. A wonderful time.
Thank you all for making me feel so accomplished and dearly loved. Thank you for your time and effort to be there last week. Thank for the ones who participated in the project, but could not be present. Thank you for the ones far, far away who were with me in spirit.
A new door opens to me in life...and a new path is ahead...I can feel it.
I wish we can see each other this year, at least one more time. I wish all of you truly become my friends.
To you, who made this project possible, THANK YOU.

Spectra Vondergeist Child Wig
- Spectra Vondergeist Wig
- Long straight synthetic hair
- Dark purple w/ lighter purple framing face
What's the best part about Spectra Vondergeist? Is it her ability to sneak around the school, collecting all the secrets of everyone? It comes in handy when you want to find something out, but it's not quite as nice when you're on the other end of the investigation. Her clothes are pretty sweet though. All that silk makes her float around so effortlessly but the chains, although they look good, can be a little loud and defeat the purpose. We're going to have to go with what your little girl thinks and say it's got to be that purple hair.
The only problem? You might not agree with her idea about dyeing her hair to match those awesome shades. Lucky for you, we live for coming to compromises between fun, and practical. She's going to love this wig that's easy to care for, and you'll love the fact that all she has to do when she's done with the costume, is take the wig off, and it's back to her fantastic, natural hair color.

Lucia Duke is only nine months old, but she's becoming quite well-known in the quaint shops that help define the Hydrostone district in north-end Halifax. "She likes people," says her dad, David.
He and wife, Maya Williams, love walking with her along the boulevards, like a little park on every street, and popping into the charming shops near their home.
Their house is less than 100 metres from Fort Needham Memorial Park, there's a kids water park nearby and they can both bike to work. The couple only moved to the neighbourhood three years ago, but Duke has a long-standing connection to the Hydrostone — his dad developed public housing co-operatives and this was the first in Canada, and his mother, a historian, has written a book on the 1917 Halifax Explosion and the Hydrostone area.
Several of the couple's friends, some of whom also have young children, live nearby, yet the woman next door has lived in the same house for more than 65 years. In fact, her husband moved in after it was built in the wake of the blast that flattened the city's north end.
It's the perfect community for urban-loving couples such as Duke and Williams, but the Hydrostone wouldn't suit everyone.
A great community can mean different things. For some, it's being able to go for a walk on the beach after work. For others, it's the rush of being at the centre of a globally competitive industry.
Herald Magazine looked at population and real estate trends and amenities in communities across Atlantic Canada and picked our top five places to live, based on characteristics that appeal to different people.
Quality of life is a key consideration for potential homeowners, says Roger Boutilier, executive officer of the Nova Scotia Association of Realtors.
"They want a neighbourhood within their budget where they'll get a return on their investment" yet have manageable property taxes, Boutilier says.
And homebuyers are drawn to communities that have good employment and educational opportunities, schools and shops nearby and easy access to health-care and recreational facilities.
Looking at all the factors, Halifax's north end came out top overall.
"There's a real transition happening, with a lot of diversity," says Jennifer Watts, the area's municipal councillor.
There are families that have lived and worked in the north end for generations, new immigrants, students, young families and couples.
"The strength of this diversity is one of the major drawing points for the north end, and its openness to new people coming in," she says.
Corner Brook, N.L.
The rush of anticipation thrills through Victoria Gillespie as she points her ski tips downward, deliciously unsure of whether she'll go just a little bit too fast this time and plunge into the deep snow of Marble Mountain.
As Gillespie looks at the majesty of the Humber Valley below, she feels lucky she has a job in her field in her home province of Newfoundland.
Gillespie is 24 and graduated with a bachelor's degree in recreation management from Acadia University in 2011.
Corner Brook is her home.
Not only can she ski at Marble Mountain, just 20 minutes away, but she can zip line and navigate the high rope courses there, hike or mountain bike on spectacular trails, snowshoe on city trails, raft or salmon fish in the Humber River and explore underground caves.
If it's an active lifestyle you want, Gillespie says Corner Brook is the place for you. As the city's recreation technician, she knows all about what's available for its 20,000 residents.
There's Blow Me Down Trails, with its 42 kilometres of cross-country skiing trails; it hosts the national cross-country ski championships in March. And the Corner Brook Stream Trail is a system of interlinked trails that runs from the heart of the city, around a water park with a natural swimming area to a gorge with spectacular views.
Man-made facilities include the Pepsi Centre, built to host the 1999 Canada Games. It has two rinks and year-round soccer, basketball and volleyball.
Viewed as a hub for its deepwater port and the nearby Deer Lake airport, the average home costs $205,291 and the average income is $80,879.
Stratford, P.E.I.
John Kenny enjoys a good game of 45s at the seniors club, when he has time.
His wife Mary quilts there with her neighbours on Monday mornings, then sells the quilts to raise money for a local camp for people with disabilities. She also knits socks for fellows who have to leave their homes in P.E.I. and go out west to work.
When it snows, John, 75, and Mary, 73, never have to worry about getting out. There's always a snowplow going by, no matter the time of day or night, and the grocery store and pharmacy are just moments away.
They hope it won't happen, but if they need to get to the hospital in Charlottetown, it's just five minutes away — you take a right after the only set of lights.
The Town of Stratford, the Kennys say, is the ideal retirement community. They've lived in the same house there for 40 years.
In the summer, they're on the beach in five minutes. If they want to take a walk in the dead of winter, there's a track at town hall. And at the Mayflower Seniors Club, of which Kenny was president for four years, there are carpet bowling, bridge, crokinole and exercise classes.
When the time comes, there's a bus service that Mary says will help them stay in their own home longer.
The population grew in Stratford by 21.1 per cent from 2006 to 2011. The field behind the Kennys' house, where cattle once grazed, is now all houses.
Community engagement co-ordinator Kim Dudley says the town has made a concerted effort to make Stratford a welcoming and progressive place. It recently received an award from the Newcomers Association of P.E.I.
She says Stratford ensures residents are involved in making decisions with such initiatives as StratChat, a website to generate discussion and ideas.
Saint John, N.B.
Every day, Jeff White goes to work in the 110-year-old former Red Rose Tea building in Saint John and ends up somewhere else in the world.
White is one of more than 8,000 New Brunswickers who work in the information and communications technology sector, with clients around the globe. More than a quarter of those jobs are in Saint John, where White moved from Halifax in 1995.
"I would never trade it," he said. "I've had great career opportunities, a very rewarding career. And professionally, I've been able to do anything I've wanted to."
Saint John had Canada's largest per capita decline in manufacturing from 1989 to 2003. That year, White got together with a few other entrepreneurs and investors and formed a technology incubator to propel the information and communications technology sector into prominence in Saint John.
They nurtured 21 startups to complement four established anchor firms in the city, and the sector keeps growing.
Today, Saint John is home to more than 30 information and communications technology firms. Last year, it was named one of the world's top seven most intelligent communities. The mayor and head of Enterprise Saint John travelled to New York City to pick up the award.
Saint John's population grew three per cent in the last census, and the city was ranked 120th in MoneySense magazine's list of the top 200 places to live in Canada in 2013.
White says cultivating the sector was a pillar of Enterprise Saint John's economic development strategy, but it really took off when industry leaders decided to do something.
"The industry grabbed it and ran with it."
White says Saint John has the Internet and telecommunications network it needs to be globally competitive, as well as a wealth of entrepreneurs mentored by such companies as East Valley Ventures, of which he is a co-founder and chief operating officer.
Companies collaborate, he says, and new companies have formed from partnerships with hospitals and businesses and the five university and four community college campuses in the area.
People often ask John Swain why he and his wife Candace ever left the tropical island of Bermuda, where a snow shovel was a distant nightmare, to move back to Bridgewater.
"Home is still home; our roots were here," says Swain, an accountant who was working at the Bank of Bermuda.
They wanted to raise their girls in a place where they would know the parents of the kids their children hung out with, and where they could enjoy the beauty of nature while still having the services of a modern community.
Bridgewater continues to be one of the few small towns in Nova Scotia where the population is growing — by 3.7 per cent in the 2011 census, on top of the 4.2 per cent growth reported five years earlier.
It was a great place to grow up, Swain says. He played hockey and baseball, and sledded down the hill in the backyard. He walked home for lunch every day with his buddies.
While Bridgewater is growing, it's still a place where dashing into the store for bread and milk turns into a social event as Swain bumps into 10 people he knows.
The family enjoys beaches as glorious as any you'll find in Bermuda — though admittedly the water is chillier — and their daughters Abigail, 10, and Alexa, 5, can't wait for the new pool and library to open at the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre.
The new rink at the complex is already open, and the girls are involved in piano and dance lessons and soccer, which is played both indoors and out. The family frequently walks the dog and bikes on the Centennial Trail behind the house.
And just like when dad was a boy, lunch at home is just a 10-minute walk from school.
North-end Halifax
Jeff Arsenault was house hunting with his wife in Halifax in 2013 when he and their two little ones visited a small park in the north end known locally as Little Park.
It was late in the afternoon, and they were there alone. Before long, some other fathers showed up with their young children. They were soon joined by their wives coming home from work, and everyone was chatting and enjoying themselves.
That's when Arsenault knew he wanted to live in north-end Halifax.
"The north end is the only place we want to be," said the architectural technologist. "It's an amazing spot."
Residents from the five little streets around their home on Northwood Terrace celebrate with a block party every year.
Arsenault and his wife Caroline had an inkling last year the north end could become their home.
Jeff learned of an event at the corner of Northwood Terrace and Black Street in which residents designed a vibrant street painting in a beautification effort that enhanced residents' sense of belonging.
"I said then, 'That's where I want to live.' And we're just a hundred feet away from that intersection."
The Arsenaults are urbanites. They grew up in downtown Moncton, lived in downtown Ottawa and returned to Moncton before choosing to move to Halifax.
Caroline can walk to work at Scotia Square, and there's an organic market and an eclectic and growing mix of restaurants on nearby Gottingen and Agricola streets.
"It's just exploding — just unbelievable," Arsenault says of the local restaurant scene.
But most of all, they love the area because of their neighbours.
"They're just an amazing group of people."
The couple bought a 130-year-old house that they're renovating to include a three-bedroom rental unit.
"We're making it our home for some time to come," Arsenault says.
Beverley Ware is South Shore bureau chief for The Chronicle Herald.

South Korea is a co-host of the upcoming World Cup football (soccer) tournament along with Japan. Although this year's tournament is the first to be held in Asia, VOA's Jim Stevenson reports, South Korea has quite a bit of World Cup experience.
South Korea is making its fifth straight World Cup appearance and sixth overall, the most of any Asian team. But its experience has been dismal, as international football commentator Derek Rae explains.
"South Korea has never won a match at the World Cup finals. And it is a record that I know has haunted them and continues to haunt them," he says.
Despite the poor record, Rae says South Korea has reason to be somewhat optimistic this year, playing in Group D with the United States, Poland and Portugal.
"You should not underestimate the importance of home advantage, of having a packed stadium behind you at the World Cup finals," he says. "They have a very experienced coach in Gus Hiddink. And I think they have a draw that is. Okay, it is not easy. It is never easy at the World Cup finals, but a draw that does give them some hope."
Rae says South Korea will certainly be an entertaining team to watch.
"They play this very distinctive style of game, and that has been the case with all South Korean teams. They run and chase, and very often it is a bit bizarre. You will see two and three players chasing after the opponent with the ball, which is quite unconventional at the international level. But they have made it work for them," he says.
South Korea's best finish was 16th in its first World Cup appearance in 1954. The team's worst finish came in 1998 when South Korea placed 30th out of 32 teams.

Ringvide studio & produktion
Ringvide is a new Swedish company based on the island of Gotland. Ringvide designs and produces furniture and products for home and office use. Ringvide was started by designer Lukas Dahlén together with his wife Leila Abd. Lukas has worked as a product designer and architect for several years and received his training and degree at the University College of Arts in Stockholm.
our goal
Our goal is to create products with high integrity and an expressive visual language that leans against a combination of traditional craftsmanship and new technologies. Nordic form is characterized by simplicity and functionality, which are important values to us. We want to give our version of Nordic form with a vivid expression.
We participate in efforts to promote sustainable development through for example the choice of materials and finishing as well as trying to keep the production on a local level. We try to place as much as possible of the production within the borders of Sweden and foremost here on Gotland, where we live and work. This is important to us since we want to keep the transport short and keep a close relation to our products' skilled craftsmen and encourage rural livelihoods and industry.
From an ecological perspective a long lasting product is the most durable product. Therefore, our aim is to create products of high material, functional and aesthetic quality. We want to use materials that age beautifully with the hope that our products will live for generations.
We have chosen to move from Stockholm to Lukas birthplace Gotland to begin a new life with other values. Gotland offers closeness to the sea and magnificent scenery, a living countryside with a large number of skilled craftsmen and creative entrepreneurship in various forms. Here we can find peace and inspiration combined with a close relationship with our manufacturing companies and thus also contribute to the development of Gotland.

CARTERET—Beginning on May 19 and continuing through June 1, 2008, the Carteret Police Department and police departments throughout the state will be stepping up enforcement and education of New Jersey's seat belt laws. This campaign ties into a nationwide mobilization effort known as "Click It or Ticket".
The unified goal of the program is to increase seat belt usage across the state and the nation. Last year the seat belt usage rate in New Jersey increased for the eleventh consecutive year and now stands at 91.4%. This year the goal is to increase New Jersey's rate to at least 93%.
Seat belt usage is considered essential for all who travel our roadways but especially important teens and young adults. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for people age 15 to 34 in the United States.
During the mobilization period police agencies will conduct a zero tolerance seatbelt enforcement campaign. Motorists who are not buckled up will be issued a ticket. In addition, concerted efforts are going on locally and statewide to raise awareness about the important and life-saving benefits of wearing seatbelts.
"High visibility enforcement saves lives" said Pamela Fischer, director of the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety. "Our goal is to make sure that all motor vehicle occupants are property restrained, on every trip."
The Carteret Police Department has actively and successfully participated in the Click It or Ticket mobilization for over five years and plans to do so this year as well. Additional patrols will be part of the overall effort which will focus on public awareness, high visibility and zero tolerance for seat belt infractions says Capt. Robert L. Talalai, coordinator of the project for the Carteret Police Department.

Combining cookery and career counselling in Bawana
SOS Children's Villages of India is a social development organization that provides care and protection for abandoned or orphaned children in India.
XL Catlin in India has supported SOS Children's Villages through the annual Global Day of Giving initiative for 8 years. Initially, around 20 colleagues were involved in this project but, as it has gained traction, more colleagues have joined the Global Day of Giving volunteering team each year.
"SOS children now know some XL Catlin employees by name and are always excited to meet the India team every year," says Anurag Jindal, the Global Day of Giving Project Leader.
The volunteers usually assist with preparing and delivering a range of activities, such as cooking classes with the child-care professionals, known as 'SOS mothers', and career counselling sessions for the children. Anurag has observed that some of the older children the volunteers have worked with previously have gone on to study at premier management institutes, and are now settled in their careers. "I feel very satisfied whenever I see SOS children getting educated and developing in their career," he says.
According to Anurag, the Global Day of Giving experience is always a mutually beneficial one: "Colleagues also learn from the Global Day of Giving as they are able to develop skills in areas such as team work, creativity in designing career counselling & cooking sessions, as well as presentation skills. And as a Project Leader I've certainly developed my leadership qualities in areas such as planning and implementation, collaborating and motivating a team, and effective and timely communication."
Plans for future Global Day of Giving events include continuing with the career counselling sessions and holding a workshop with older children so that they can develop their communication and presentation skills.
"On every Global Day of Giving I always feel proud to be a representative from XL Catlin India," Anurag adds.

ID of beheaded man confirmed as Lebanon soldier
DNA testing has confirmed that the body of a man who jihadists said they had beheaded was that of Lebanese soldier Ali Sayyed, his family said Tuesday.
Sayyed was captured along with more than 20 other members of the Lebanese security forces in the eastern town of Arsal last month.
"We've been informed by MP Khaled Zahraman that the DNA test confirmed that the body of the soldier recovered by the army is that of our martyr Ali," his uncle, Hussam al-Sayyed, told AFP.
Sayyed said that the MP, representing the family, had been told of the result by the army.
"We are very sad. We call for restraint and we do not want violent reactions," said the uncle, adding that Ali would be buried on Wednesday.
"Our only consolation will be to see the release of all the soldiers and members of the security forces who have been kidnapped," he said.
A video purporting to show Sayyed being beheaded by Islamic State (IS) jihadists emerged last week.
In the video, he is presented as a Lebanese soldier among those abducted on August 2 as clashes erupted in Arsal, which lies on the Syrian border.
IS and other jihadists overran the town of Arsal in clashes that began after the arrest of a Syrian accused of belonging to an extremist group.
Twenty soldiers, dozens of jihadists and 16 civilians were killed in the fighting that ended after mediation by Sunni Lebanese clerics.
After the truce, the militants, believed to be from the IS as well as Al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate Al-Nusra Front, withdrew from Arsal.
But they have continued to hold 15 soldiers and 14 police taken hostage during the fighting.
The militants have reportedly sought to negotiate the release of the hostages in exchange for Islamist prisoners held in Lebanese jails.
The fighting in Arsal was the most serious border incident since the conflict in Syria began in March 2011.
Families of the remaining soldiers and police hostages have blocked roads in Lebanon in a bid to pressure the government to secure the release of their relatives.

|¿Where can we find the "starting point"?
Talking with a dear digital friend, Luis Reyes (@ Luisreyes6) about an article I published recently, entitled "I want to be social networks, but don't know where to start" we, among jokes and not-so-serious comments, got to a crossroads and Luis told me: "Joel, it's obvious we must start from the beginningl" and I then replied "And where is that beginning point then?"
And that question brought me to the topic I'm sharing with you today: We're now at the beginning of the year and, hopefully, we know exactly where it does begin: It's the first minute, the first day of January.Simple, right?
But, is it that easy to figure out where the starting point is when it comes to your business, your company, or even yourself? Where is that starting point? Why it happens so often that new companies or products fail, and most of them fail even before starting it's own development? Is there any relation between knowing where the starting point is and the fact that many products don't reach maturity in their respective markets?
For sure when you were thinking of starting your own business, you put all your enthusiasm and effort in setting it up, its structure, skeleton, in creating your product and developing your brand's main concept. Maybe you invested a lot of time in finding the most significant opportunities for your product, as well as identifying your market segments, the reasons why people would buy from you and not competitors. In a word: you've invested significant time, money and effort in drawing a map that would allow you to clearly see the path that your product, company or brand would follow once it was released.
And sure enough you were also deeply in love with your product, completely convinced it was going to be a success, and you were the first one to be shocked when you had to make the decision to put a stop to everything because your initiative had failed, as it has happened to so many others. You were so excited that you didn't put time into doing the initial analysis you had to do, which was - by far - the most important thing in your "to-do list", even before doing anything else: to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your product, company or brand.
And here, in my opinion, is where the chain of errors that has been able to prevent your product from establishing and properly developing in the market, begins. A failure doesn't happen overnight, it turns out to be a sequence of things that happen and start undermining the potential growth of an initiative.
In my experience, and from the experience of colleagues and friends who have set up their own businesses have shared with me, the biggest mistake is to not assess the attributes, limitations, weaknesses and strengths of your product, brand or company, sincerely, honestly and humbly.
I'm not referring to the analysis you'd have either done or not about the market itself, but about the inner review you should have done to properly identify your niche, your target audience, your approaches and strategies, but really and not superficially.
As always, let me explain myself with an example: You spend the night coughing and very congested, with high fever, stomach discomfort, heaviness in your head and trembling in your extremities. However, when you get to the doctor and he asks you about the symptoms you've had, you simply mention you've had a bit of discomfort and fever.
Do you think the doctor will be able to give you appropriate treatment? Do you think he'll have the opportunity to really tell you what you have have to do, when the information that he's starting from is inaccurate and doesn't adequately represent the real situation you went through?
Same thing happens with products, companies and brands. If the initial analysis, the one you have to do even before analyzing your industry, market or competition, isn't done in a thorough, honest, sincere and deep way, you're running a huge risk. Why? Because the market itself will show your product's weaknesses and by bringing it down, it'll indicate you that it would have been better to invest a little more time in the initial research and preparation.
Have you ever seen one of these contests to find new musical talent, like "American Idol" or "The X-Factor"? Have you ever thought that there are participants which shouldn't even have entered the contest at all?
Surely these people's friends and relatives were all positive and encourage them to enter the competition, they all thought their friends were talented enough and could do a good job (have you ever seen a mother who doesn't have nice words for an excited child?) And these people, starting from the wrong place and simply basing all their arguments on an incomplete reality check, embarked on something that had already been marked as a not-happily-ending story.
The market is just like that and generally doesn't forgive mistakes, especially when they relate to products and brands. That's why many products don't make it to their development phase and simply fail to grow because they all started from the wrong place, what we could call a "not-so-real" starting point.
Be sure to start at the beginning, but the real one, not the one you would like to start from. And do it making a real, honest, transparent analysis, that truly reflects your actual situation and not a reflection of what you want. It may take a little longer, but you'll avoid many of the unpleasant situations, which also happen to usually be very expensive.
Is this your case? Did you analyze your business, brand or product in depth before you jumped into the market?

Apparantly you can sprain your jaw.
Last Wednesday (you know, T minus one) there was no school. So DD stayed home and "packed her stuff". I called her about halfway through my shift to remind her that before we could leave for Grandma's house, all the trash had to be taken out and the kitchen thoroughly cleaned. I should have just left right then, when she told me that she couldn't take out the trash, because the outside bins were full. But I didn't listen to that mother's intuition. She called me awhile later and said she was "finished", and could she please go to her friend's house until I got home. Again, I should have gone home. I didn't.
When my shift (full of even stoopider and crayzier people than usual) ended I went home, expecting to load up Moby Dick (did I forget to mention that I'd been driving the white Cadillac since Halloween?) and get going on up to Rexburg. DD wasn't home, but all her stuff was hanging out next to my front door. I looked a bit askance at it as I unlocked the door and rushed upstairs to use my very own, private ladies' room (see previous post). I proceeded to round up all the trash and take it out myself, because I never leave the house for more than a day without removing the trash and making sure the kitchen is clean.
~~Dun dun DUN~~
The outside trash cans were all lined up neatly, ready to be taken away by the City of Logan. They didn't look stuffed to the gills; their lids were barely pushed up. I opened a lid, ready to throw my Hefty bag in. I saw clothing. And books. And videocassettes. And appliances. And lamps. And red.
The DD was able to hear me tell her to come home from two blocks away without the benefit of Cingular.
She decided (for the first time in about ever) that discretion was the better part of valour, and that she had better help me remove all non-trash from the trash bins in a very timely manner. This done, we proceeded to wash two loads of laundry, take out every trash can in the house, and get that kitchen the cleanest it's been since we moved in. And then we loaded Moby Dick.
I don't really like driving. I prefer driving a standard to an automatic, because if I'm going to be stuck behind the wheel, at least I want to be entertained by having something to do. Clutching and shifting, preferably while eating, drinking, or talking on the phone, qualifies as entertaining. I can drive with my knees for several miles, when need be. I totally want to drive on the Autobahn and see what I'm capable of at 120 mph.
Moby Dick is a car that our family was really grateful to get. He came to live with my folks right after my uncle died. It had belonged to my aunt, and it was her errand-running outfit. He's a two-door Cadillac El Dorado, in pearl white. At age 38, I felt a lot conspicuous driving it, even if it were for only a month while my cute little beluga whale (white Ford Escort) was being convinced to keep going for just a few more weeks.
Ol Moby has been feeling his age the past little while. He chose to manifest it by refusing to warm the interior of the car, on the coldest day of the year so far. It takes two and a half hours to get to Rexburg from Logan, mostly going the speed limit. I hate being cold. Once I'm cold, it takes a lot for me to get warm again. I clenched my jaw the whole two point five hours.
It's been a week now, and I am still breakfasting on 600 mg of Advil, with a 10am chaser of Tylenol, followed by a 1pm second round of Advil. (Rinse and repeat.) And copious amounts of Diet Coke and chocolate. (And don't think I haven't noticed that I can buy Diet Coke Plus in Idaho, but not in Utah.) I've returned Moby Dick to his parking space in Rexburg, and retrieved my cute little beluga whale and have been quite entertained by driving it around town this week.
It's for sale. Won't pass Utah state inspection, but Idaho doesn't care. I hope the car I get in PA will be a standard. I like shifting.

For Sale or Trade
I am down-sizing, and I have some magazines that need new homes. I have several years' worth of Martha Stewart Living Weddings, including the premiere issue. All are in very good condition, except the premiere issue, which I bought off Ebay and it's seen better days. I also have about eight years of Herb Companion. All six issues of Breathe magazine (it was short-lived), and several years' worth of Yoga Journal and Yoga International. All of these are in good to very-good condition, as I take care of my things. If you're interested, send me an email or leave a comment. I really don't want to just toss them.
The Yoga Journal and Yoga International have found a new home.

Which, translated from the French, is m'aidez. That means "Please help me!" See that ticker on my banner? It is counting down days. Now subtract a day, and that's how many days I have left to pack up and clean my apartment. My DD thought it was all beyond her, and so she went to stay with Grandma until it's all over. So I have no help at all, and I desperately need some! Mostly I need someone(s) to come and keep me company while I do what needs doing. If someone(s) *wanted* to dig in and also do what needs doing, I wouldn't turn them down. Add to this, a pair of socks for the VIP's DS, a pair of socks for my friend PB, a pair of socks for the VIP, the second of a pair of wristwarmers for my DD, *and* a Baby Surprise Jacket for my nephew who is due around Christmas. All of my extraneous furniture has new homes, except my entertainment center. I just have to empty all the shelves and drawers so that said furniture can go live at their new homes. I have plenty of boxes, and I know where to get more if I need them. I have plenty of packing tape. I have all the cleaning supplies. But please, I need someone to come help me. Please?

Random Pet Peeve
*Warning* Absolutely no knitting content
The ladies' room where I work has 16 stalls. I really really hate it when I've entered a stall, and someone comes and occupies the stall right next to me. I like my privacy, and I've been known to move stalls just so that I can get it. Or I wait until the other person has finished and then I take care of my business.
Does this bug anyone else, or am I just strange?

Amtrak Bikes on Trains Demo - LMB Along for the Ride
- Category: Advocacy
- Published on Tuesday, 04 June 2013 15:20
- Written by John Lindenmayer
- Hits: 119703
LMB's ongoing bikes on trains campaign took a major step forward recently, with an Amtrak demonstration ride that took place on May 15th. The demonstration ride was aimed at generating feedback from bicyclists on a new prototype bike rack design Amtrak is in the process of field-testing.
The well-coordinated event by Amtrak and MDOT, had bicyclists board and deboard Train #350 at various legs along the Wolverine service route. Bicyclists participated at stops in Chicago, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Jackson, Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Royal Oak.
John Lindenmayer, LMB's Advocacy & Policy Director and Rory Neuner, LMB's Board Vice Chair were along for the demonstration which showcased a recently retrofitted café car outfitted with angled bike parking to accommodate four bicycles.
Amtrak currently does not allow bicycles on board most of their Midwest routes, including all that pass through Michigan. For the past several years LMB has actively lobbied Amtrak to change their policies and urged them to modify their existing cars with bike racks to help bridge the 'last mile' problem many commuters and potential commuters face.
"The connection between bicycling and transit is fundamental," said John Lindenmayer. "Passengers can currently travel from community to community by Amtrak, but how do they get to where they need to go once they step off the train? Allowing bikes on trains will provide seamless multi-modal connections for passengers giving them options to travel to and from train stations by bike."
With Michigan being home to over 300 annual bicycling events each year, with a number hosted in or near Michigan communities serviced by Amtrak, many Michigan communities could also benefit from increased tourism spending from both in and out of state bicyclists.
That's why LMB is so excited Amtrak is taking positive steps to accommodate bikes on board trains servicing Michigan and applaud them for responding to the requests of the Michigan cycling community.
"LMB worked to ensure that bicyclists were including in the Michigan State Rail Plan," said Lindenmayer, "and we delivered a petition that collected over 3,500 signatures urging Amtrak to accommodate bicycles on Michigan service lines.
Thomas C. Carper, Amtrak Board Chairman at the time, responded favorably stating, "Amtrak has placed an order for 130 new, single-level cars. This order...includes 55 new baggage cars and 25 new baggage-dorm cars. These two types of cars will be equipped with bicycle racks."
Additionally Carper stated, "Amtrak Mechanical has been working on designs to retrofit food service cars used on some Michigan services to accommodate bicycle racks. One design has been tested and proved unsatisfactory, but our design team has developed an alternate solution based on what was learned from the initial design."
LMB provided feedback on this initial design, which indeed proved unworkable, as it had three parallel floor wheel racks that were boxed in on three sides. The tight spacing made it nearly impossible for it to be used by more than one bicyclist at a time.
The May 15th demonstration ride, however, showcased Amtrak's "take two" on a proposed café car retrofit. By removing an additional booth (two total) Amtrak made ample room for four angled bike parking. The racks have a floor base that the bicycle's front wheel sits in and use simple bungee style tie downs to secure the bike tight against a padded posts that supports the bike in multiple places.
The prototype racks are a vast improvement over their initial design. All in all, LMB is very pleased with the new design. While the racks were relatively intuitive, we did encourage Amtrak to provide signage with visual instructions on how to use the racks. When we tested the racks, the café car was empty, so we imagine that it could be a bit more difficult to board the train and park your bike during peak times.
Our biggest concern was not so much about the racks themselves, but simply about the boarding process. Without raised platforms at most Michigan stations, a bicyclist must carry their bike through a very narrow door and up narrow stairs, before making an immediate left turn to get into the café car. We were traveling light during the test ride, but having additional luggage would likely make the boarding process more difficult. This problem can likely be addressed, however, by having Amtrak attendants available to help bicyclists with the boarding and deboarding process. Since bicyclists will be required to reserve space for their bicycles in advance, however, Amtrak would know when and where bicyclists were getting on and off, and could have an attendant available to assist.
The current racks will not accommodate non-traditional bicycles such as tandems, recumbents, tricycles, or oversized items like pull behind trailers. We are optimistic that in the future Amtrak will be able to accommodate these larger bikes within the baggage cars currently under construction.
Lastly, LMB encouraged Amtrak to offer bike service at no additional cost to passengers, as is currently the policy on a number of their lines across the country including the Capitol Corridor, San Joaquin, Pacific Surfliner, and Piedmont lines.
Pending the feedback from the Michigan bicyclists involved in the May 15th test ride, and a previous demonstration that involved bicyclists from Active Transportation in Chicago as well as the Illinois DOT, Amtrak plans to systematically install bike parking within existing café cars. Due to funding cuts caused by the sequestration, however, Amtrak is currently unable to comment on how long it will likely take to modify enough of the existing café cars to officially offer this as a service on Michigan lines. They currently plan to retrofit café cars one at a time as the cars are brought in for service. To make the service widespread across Michigan they will need to convert at least seven to nine café cars to ensure consistent service across the system.
"Amtrak considers expanded rail travel one of the solutions to address climate change and traffic congestion. Marrying passenger trains and bikes is a no-brainer and a win-win for the traveling public. We'll continue our work at making it easier for our customers to complete that last mile to or from our stations, whether on foot, by transit, or on a bike," stated Derrick James, Director, Government Affairs - Central Amtrak.
While bikes on trains is still not yet a reality in Michigan, LMB is extremely pleased that we continue to make positive strides towards accommodating bicyclists. We sincerely thank Amtrak and MDOT for inviting us to participate in the demonstration ride. We look forward to promoting the new service once it is officially available across the state. Watch our website for updates.

(This article is excerpted from the author's book, The Good American: A Situation Report for Citizens, available now from your favorite retailer, or on Amazon Kindle, or directly from the publisher, The Institute for Economic Democracy, iedpress.com.)
Take a pinch of the spores of a certain fungus and drop it into a gallon jug, one whose walls are coated with nutrient so the fungus can grow as fast as it likes. Suppose you do this one morning, and that exactly 4 days later you find that the fungus has filled the jar and is just beginning to overflow it. How full was the jug the morning of the 3rd day?
- Three-quarters full.
- Half full.
- One-quarter full.
- Mostly empty.
This question is one I pose to students in general math courses at the start of my standard lecture on modeling natural growth, a lecture with the deliberately provocative title of this chapter. I find that if the lecture isn't provocative students are unlikely to absorb the main point, because people tend to think of growth as something steady. Trees grow a few feet each year just as children grow by 5 to 7 pounds each year. Our lives grow with the steady accumulation of the years themselves.
Growth, we think, means adding a fixed amount for each fixed period of time. But most natural growth is nothing like that. In most kinds of natural growth it is not a fixed amount but a proportional amount that is added at regular intervals. This is why so many rates of growth, such as the growth of an investment or the growth of a population, are expressed in percentages-per-unit time.
If natural growth matched our intuition, the jug would be three-quarters full the day before it overflows. But in fact the jug is still mostly empty the day before. The correct answer is D. One way of understanding how this could be so is to think in terms of doubling times. In natural growth the time it takes for whatever is growing to double in size is always the same regardless of how big or small it is. For the fungus to fill a gallon jug in 4 days starting from just a pinch means it has to double about once very 7 hours or so.1 So 7 hours before the jug overflows it is half full, and 7 hours before that it is one-quarter full, and 7 hours before that it is one-eighth full. Three times 7 is 21, so when we check the jug 24 hours before it overflows it is less than one-eighth full--mostly empty.
Now to make it vivid.
Suppose we start with 10 breeding pairs of bunnies living in a fenced meadow. There is no such thing as an infinite meadow: every meadow produces just so much food and water, and has just so much space. Suppose for the sake of the example that this is a large meadow that continuously produces enough food and water and contains enough space to support a thousand rabbits. Now the doubling time for populations of rabbits under ideal conditions is about 3 months, or 1 season, so they double their number 4 times per year. Thus after the first year our starting population of 20 rabbits has doubled 4 times, from 20 to 40, then to 80, then to 160, then to 320. So the second year starts with 320 rabbits. How many rabbits are there at the start of the third year?
The correct answer is 0. At the start of the third year there are no rabbits in the meadow at all. Not only that, the meadow is gone too. This is because the rabbits' population went into overshoot. In the first three months of the second year their numbers doubled from 320 to 640 and everything was going along fine. By midyear they had doubled again, to 1,280, and were eating up the available food faster than the meadow was regrowing it. Things were getting crowded too, but there was no panic; all the rabbits were still getting enough to eat, even though all the fresh, green shoots were gone and everybody had to eat the tough, older leaves and stems. But by the autumn the population had doubled again, to 2,560--far more than the meadow could support. Having eaten all the leaves, the rabbits ate the stems down to the ground. As they began to starve, in desperation they dug up the roots and ate those. In the end they ate each other. When the last rabbit died from starvation, it died in a desert.
This is a horrifying outcome, and fortunately nature has ways of preventing it. Coyotes, to begin with. Also, when food supplies become stressed the strongest and luckiest survive while others, weakened by hunger, succumb to predators and disease. In the real world populations of rabbits and of all animals fluctuate, sometimes wildly, from year to year, but over time tend to remain in rough balance.
Humans are an altogether different kind of animal. There is nothing to play the role of coyotes for us--we are the top of the food chain. We don't have to depend any longer on natural processes alone for our food, because with machinery and fertilizers and science we can extract from Mother Nature far more than she would give on her own. Disease too, while not conquered, is nothing like the scourge it once was. With the aid of technology we can fit vast numbers of us into comparatively small spaces. There are few natural forces left to constrain our numbers, and because of this our rate of population growth increased dramatically in the 20th century while our doubling time decreased from half a millennium to half a century.2
Humans are a different kind of animal, but not so different that the laws of mathematics don't apply to us. We live in a finite meadow, called the Earth. There is no other to which we might go. With all our knowledge and all our technology, there is still an absolute limit to how much this meadow can provide. We are not as prolific as rabbits, but our population is 7 billion and growing; our current doubling time is about 65 years.3
And we are in overshoot. It is not a question of if we will overshoot our environment, and it is not a question of when. We are in overshoot--right now. Sometime in the 1970s came the first year when the ecological footprint of humanity became so large that the impact on the planet was no longer sustainable.4 Now, some 30 to 40 years later, we use up about 150% of the planet's yearly supply of resources every year.5 In effect, if we apply the rabbits-in-the-meadow analogy, we are at the point of eating the stems.
There are several aspects that must be considered in measuring the degree and effects of human overshoot. They include the availability of food and water, disposal of waste, energy, biodiversity, and climate change. Each of these affects all the others.
Predictions of mass starvation owing to overpopulation have been made for 200 years, but have not come to pass.6 This is because our capacity to produce food has increased far beyond what was predicted. In the last 45 years in particular food production globally has more than doubled, keeping pace with the growth in population, even though the amount of land used for agriculture has scarcely increased at all.7 This "green revolution," as it is called, is the result of four factors: Increased irrigation from underground aquifers, the increased use of manufactured fertilizers and pesticides, the use of machinery to more efficiently plant, harvest, process, and distribute food, and the development of higher-yielding, more disease and insect-resistant crops.8 9 However, currently a billion people, 1 in 6, does not get sufficient nutrition, and an additional billion people are at risk.10 Moreover, in order to keep pace with the population food production would have to double again in the next 35 years,11 and this can't happen. Instead, food production is going to decline soon, and before long decline drastically.
One reason is that three of the four factors that made the green revolution possible cannot be sustained.
First, water. The United States' Great Plains, often called the breadbasket of the nation, produces enough grain for the country to be the world's biggest exporter of food.12 However, this is possible in large part because of irrigation with water pumped from the Ogallala aquifer, an immense underground body of fresh water that stretches from South Dakota to Texas. Because of the geology and weather patterns of this region the aquifer is not replenished, and it is being used up so fast that in many areas water can no longer be pumped from it. It will be largely unusable for agriculture within 25 years.13 This situation is mirrored across the globe, as aquifers that have driven increased food production in Europe, Asia, India, Africa, Australia, and the Middle East are drying up.14 There is no replacement for water. As these aquifers run dry, food production will decline sharply.

From the Forums: Christianity and Conservationism

agraham999 wants your opinion on the relationship between the two:
My concern is that the bible is replete with quotes regarding the care of creation...and it seems strange that the people often maligned as nutty environmentalists are those painted as godless liberals. However, it seems to me that the great charge of caring for the earth was left in the hands of the faithful...and it seems like the great swath of Churches across this nation alone, should be the loudest about what happens to the planet and caring for it.
What do you think about the role of Christianity in the green movement? Join the conversation.

6pm to 10pm Opening Reception
The 2015 exhibition is rooted in themes explored by our "City of Empaths"* in Seattle Washington. It is orchestrated to herald a graphic and sensual call to action inspired by the Occupy Movement, Black Lives Matter, Transgender Activism and the use of social media in the pursuit of social justice.
A starting point for the exhibition was Okwui Enzewor's introductory essay for the 56th la Biennale di Venezia entitled "The State of Things". Acknowledging that every exhibition exists in a "moment of disturbance" and the "…debris that grows from this moment and rises ever skyward, along with the events that precede it, one does feel as if summoned…" we are also called to action.
It is an attempt to evoke rhapsody through a tower of text pieces by local and national artists, alongside the most constructive forms of human bedrock; nude bodies, primary painting and encampments.
It is a space similar to one imagined by Benjamin Gazy and Anouk Rawkson, creators and bartenders at Pony. They invited artists and makers to recreate Mortville from John Water's film Desperate Living, a municipality where social outlaws are relegated to serve a life sentence of no future, no resources, disease and sexual exploitation. It was a profound metaphor as luxury apartments, private schools, designer boutiques and restaurants, increasingly surround the triangular island the Pony occupies. Too much that is new in the neighborhood has been designed for visitors who live outside of it.
'Mo-Wave!'s 2015 Art Exhibition challenges those ideas while educating new residents about the values our community of artists and activists hold dear. It's a call to action through poetry and prose. We hope you'll join us.

Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron Gets New Game Details Revealed
High Moon Studios did great work on Transformers: War For Cybertron, then stumbled quite a bit on Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. That doesn't stop us from having high hopes for the studios next big title, Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron. Thankfully this title is another original story and not a movie tie-in which means there is definitely a lot of hope for the game and thanks to Activision community manager, Dan Amrich we have new details about the game. Apparently Dan got a first look at the game last week and has now revealed some interesting details about the next installment in the Cybertron saga.
The first thing he talked about was how much High Moon has taken fan input into account, listening to what fans didn't like and fixing it. According to the game's director Matt Tieger their goal this time around was to take everything gamers didn't like about War for Cybertron and make them so good that they would actually be selling points for the game this time around. The main elements they wanted to work on were improving the AI, reducing repetition in the gameplay, and bringing more variety to the visuals. This game still takes place on Cybertron or what's left of it after all the fighting. The Decepticons have taken over the planet and only a few Autobots remain. The Ark, the ship that took the Cybertronians to Earth, is under construction, and many bots have already fled the planet through other means.Optimus Prime has some very tough decisions ahead of him, does he stay and fight or retreat and plan to fight another day. Either decision will its consequences and let's just say that not all the Autobots are on board with Optimus Prime's decision, no matter which one he makes. This may give the game a bit of an RPG element though we are not sure how much at this point.
Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron also gives us more backstory about the mysterious Grimlock. Players will be able to play as Starscream as he watches the Decepticons torture Grimlock and then as the story progresses they will be able to take control of Grimlock himself. Grimlock isn't your standard Autobot, he uses a sword and shield melee style and breathes fire. Most of the other bots use long-range attacks with guns and such but Grimlock is uniquely equipped for some seriously vicious up close and personal combat. He's like a damn space T-Rex.
Transformers: War For Cybertron was broken up into two campaigns, telling the story from both the Autobot and Decepticon point of view. Lots of players felt like this made the game feel a little disjointed so Fall Of Cybertron has just one narrative but will still shift between characters as you go. The team doesn't want players to rush through the game and they have designed it to let players truly appreciate and experience everything Cybertron has to offer. I'm not too sure about this one, hopefully they got the pacing right because if they don't the game could feel like its being dragged on. Cybertron is a huge world and the team went to a lot of trouble to make sure players got the feel of that scale, both in the planet itself and its characters. They even had a level in the game was at the maximum size the current Unreal Engine could support. Take Bruticus for instance, he's the combined form of the Constructicons, and he's big but then there is Metroplex, an entire city that is itself a Transformer. Optimus can give Metroplex strike commands and Metroplex attacks. This should be really, really freaking cool.
Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron isn't a cover-based game, it's a navigation based game according to Tieg. All the characters are vehicles as well, so they wanted to make getting from point A to point B an enjoyable experience. You will be faced with multiple attack scenarios and it should be clear how the action takes place in a smaller arena of combat, but is still very focused on precise movements and getting places quickly, setting up sniper shots, and getting out. The game should feel very mobile.
Taking things one step further, the developers have introduced the concept of viewing transformation as "an indicator of behavioral state change." What that means is that when you see an enemy, the form they have chosen (vehicle or robot), should tell the player something about thinking on an AI level. By looking at your enemies' form, you should be able to "read" them and somewhat predict and anticipate their tactics based on how you see them transform. Both Decepticons and Autobots can use the same weapons, and through a new store system, you'll be able to upgrade those weapons.
High Moon wasn't quite ready to show off multiplayer but they did give them a look at the character customizer that will be used in the mode. Character customization has been amped up from the previous game, now your torso piece determines what kind of vehicle you are and there are seven other elements (shoulders, arms, wheels, etc) that you can customize for your robot form, and you will unlock more parts via gameplay. Each class has unique parts — the Scout wheels, for instance, won't appear on other classes. Also, if you're a fan of chromed-out rides, the slide that lets you decide how shiny you want your character to be should be endless fun.
There's also an improvement that every fan should love and that's the addition of more ammo. The team promises that their should be no shortage of bullets this time around. So far it looks like everything is on track and Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron is set to make the franchise respectable again after that whole Dark Of The Moon debacle.
