Y2K METRICS AND PSYCHOMETRICSgreenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread
Y2K Metrics vs PSYCHOmetrics
Anybody who's serious about spending his valuable time on this or any other y2k site should be concerned about Y2K Metrics: in other words, HARD y2k facts and how to evaluate them. With all the flaming going on around here & the other popular public sites, it's pretty hard to see the signal for the noise. Is there any hope for an improvement? I doubt it. But here's a view from the far edge of the Bell Curve (where I've spent most of my life.)
A Psychiatric/Sociologic evaluation of Website Discussion Group Posters
Around 50 years ago my shrink in NYC noticed I was about to leave him for greener pastures (I had finally figured out that anybody willing to pay $25/hr to someone to gain sanity was BY DEFINITION locked into insanity.) So to cool my ardor he sent me to the world-renowned psychometrist of that day (the early '60s), Fred Brown, for an evaluation. The resultant diagnosis? ---- pseudoneurotic schizophrenic. In layman's terms that meant: I acted like a plain old neurotic but actually I was crazy as a loon. So what did I do with that Dx (which should have had me cowering in a corner ever thankful to have a shrink shepherd me to safety)? Well, I quit -- and have never been happier since. So much for an anecdotal evaluation of psychometrics.
With that in mind here's my psychometric evaluation of Pollys and Gloomers who populate these sites in such profusion. First off, the standard shrink's comment of someone who's locked into a continual denigration of another's opinion on a particular issue is that the former is "projecting" -- he's doing all that flaming because: his opponent has struck a resonance in the flamer's secret self -- IOW, 'Thou protests too much!'
That translates to: if you're a Polly your BP rises to dizzying heights because subconsciously you know there's a reasonable argument for taking y2k seriously, & thus a serious danger that you'll regret not making heavy preps in the present tense.
And if you're a Doomer your field of vision turns bloodred because subconsciously you know there's a reasonable argument for scepticism about the doomers statements and predictions of TEOTWAWKI, especially in view of the fact that very little heavily documented info has yet bubbled to the surface supporting such an extreme G&D posture re Enterprise software or Embedded chips --- & thus all that money, time, focus, and upsets that y2k preps cost may all be in vain.
So much for the standard psychiatric evaluation of flamers. I think it has a lot of validity, based on my 73 years on the planet (born in 1926 on 4/22) and 30 of them as a doc, with counseling as a special interest.
But I'd like to add another explanation for the ubiquity of flamers, on both sides of the isle --- and this one has nothing to do with specific issues such as Y2K, the Yugo Crisis, the Stock Market Bubble, Columbine H.S., or whatever. It has to do with what's happened to our youth.
Now let me be clear: by youth I mean anybody younger than 73 years old. Did I catch everyone in that net? I hope so. Anyway, what I've seen happen to America since I grew up in the Depression, participated in WWII, and danced the other dances thru this Vale of Tears --- is that HARDLY ANYONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO BE NICE ANYMORE. Is that merely a shift in the fashion of interpersonal relationships? No way, baby! What that signifies is that our local civilization (i.e., American society, along with its imitators in Canada, modern Europe, Australia, NZ, Japan, & other lesser copycats) is near the end of it's lifespan. ----- Hey, you GOT IT --- I'm a Gloom & Doomer right up there with Infomagic -- and have been, years before that puppy was born.
Can you trust my extremism? Of course not. So relax, buy another beer, smoke another joint, eat another pizza, buy another SUV, invest in another mutual fund -- it's never gonna end -- we've discovered Immortality. The same one discovered by the Greeks, Israelites, Atlantis, Rome, the 3d Reich, the Vikings, the ancient Chinese, and sundry others -- UNameIt. Y2K? --- Hey, no probLEMo!!!
Just kidding,

Growth and Fixed Mindset Theory
Brief Summary
Comparing Mindsets
Beyond Working Hard: What Growth Mindset Teaches Us About Our Brains by Katrina Schwartz (Mind/Shift). Many schools have welcomed the idea of fostering a "growth mindset" among students and educators, but some experts say there are common misconceptions about the approach. For example, the concept is not interchangeable with "resiliency" or "having high expectations." Rather, "it is the belief that qualities can change and that we can develop our intelligence and abilities," says Eduardo Briceño, co-founder and CEO of Mindset Works.

So long, 2016…
I am always pleased when looking back on a year, if I can see that the seeds to any successful event were sown in the year before that. I suppose it's that I like to see some momentum taking place, some cunning plan that may be coming to fruition.
2016 was such a year for me.
The year started off with the filming of a video for Restless Celtic Heart, one of five songs that make up a 5 track acoustic EP that I had recorded specifically to have as a physical CD to sell at gigs on my 2015 US tour; the video locations included towns, cities, mountains, pubs, and the Atlantic Ocean.
The EP had a very timely release on St. Patrick's Day. I had very little time to nurse my hangover as I was back in the studio to record a song written in Kansas City MO in 2015 called Kansas City Won't Let Me Go.
The print was barely dry on the CDs before I was off on a whistle-stop tour of shows in and around Kansas City. Once again, I underestimated the generosity of the American public and I ran out of copies of the album Songs From the Last Chance Saloon, the EP Restless Celtic Heart and the single Kansas City Won't Let Me Go.
Other highlights of that visit included performing on two radio interviews, being beamed in to the homes of millions of people watching breakfast television, piloting a canoe down a fast-flowing Missouri River, and driving an 18-wheeler down the freeway. None of this would have happened if I hadn't played in KC in 2015.
I just managed to get a few nights' sleep in my own bed in the UK before heading back to Ireland for more shows that were the result of the earlier trip.
Halfway through the year, I found myself on a songwriting retreat in a village high in the mountains of Spain. But even this was the result of having attempted and embraced the idea of co-writing songs from my time in Nashville the year before. The week in Andalusia was both intense and inspiring. I met the most amazingly talented people there. I was even lucky enough to write with an award-winning producer and a Grammy-nominated songwriter. I also have great hopes for one of the songs which came out of Spain, the recording of which is currently a work in progress.
For the second half of the year the globe-trotting stopped and I knuckled down to fine-tuning 11 of the 16 songs I'd written on tour in the US. Some were now in different keys (you sing differently when you're strumming quietly in a motel room in Memphis compared to belting out a song on stage in Dublin). Some had lost a verse or two, some now had newly-constructed middle eight sections.
I felt ready to make a new album, the recording of which takes me from 2016 into 2017. I'll be debuting tracks from the new album at the Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City in February.
So that was 2016 … now let's see what 2017 has in store…

Ratings for Dr. Elizabeth E. Cooley
Dr. Cooley is an awesome doctor! She always spends more than enough time with me, always follows up with previous visits. Her staff is fantastic, too! I have never had less than a stellar visit at her office. I would recommend her as a doctor to everyone. I can't understand why one of her other patients spoke negatively about her. It has always been a great experience with Dr. Cooley as my doctor.
from the receptionist,who always answers promptly,iv never gotten an annoying answering machine,to the wonderful nurses i always have had a good experience .Dr.Cooley herself is always friendly,knowledgeable and takes her time with my whole family,from a teenager to a 5 year old.she never makes us feel rushed.we are so happy with her whole staff.
Dr. Cooley has been nothing but professional and helpful since my whole family has been going to her. I have two young boys and she asks about each and everyone one of us, by name when myself or my wife are in there. Dr. Cooley is an outstanding doctor.
Our family changed to Dr Cooley a few years ago since we were not too pleased with our old doctor. I have been very happy. I just went to her with my son, and she knew exactly what was wrong with him, gave me the appropriate prescription, and answered all my questions. She even told me to call the next day to make sure everything was ok. I never feel rushed, and I always have plenty of time to ask questions.
She doesnt care about her clients she will sit across the room with her arms crossed and just walks out when she's done with out never asks if you have any other questions or explians how to take/use prescriptions she's written for you I have never had an appointment with her that lasted more than five minutes SERIOUSLY! I always see the nurses more and all they do is weigh me (which they don't even know how to use a scale) and take blood pressure.also her hours are horrible she walk out the door promptly by 430 and doesn't do weekends ever it makes it hard for us working people to see her when making an appointment I have always felt like I'm an inconvience when my availabilty doesn't work... She's a family gen practitioner she needs to be more avaliable and kind. I will be finding a new doctor I HIGHLY DONT Recommend her to anyone

Skegness History: The Jolly Fisherman Story, John Hassall
According to WikiPedia... The Jolly Fisherman is a poster created by artist John Hassall (illustrator) in 1908 after he had been commissioned by the Great Northern Railways (GNR). It is regarded as one of the most famous holiday advertisements of all time and is believed to have significantly influenced the success of Skegness, Lincolnshire as a holiday destination. The Jolly Fisherman is now the mascot for Skegness and celebrated his 100th birthday in 2008.
And check out the brilliant Jolly Fisherman Blog.
The Jolly Fisherman Poster
It has been said with some truth that Skegness rose to fame on a poster. The Jolly Fisherman Poster and its accompanying slogan is probably the most famous holiday advertisement ever drawn. It has been circulated hundreds of times in almost every newspaper in the land, and the dancing salt has been imitated by thousands of visitors. John Hassall drew the picture in 1908. It had been commissioned by the Great Northern Railway Company and for this masterpiece he received twelve guineas.
Skegness, So Bracing!
The "so bracing" slogan, of almost equal importance, is believed to have been the brainchild of an unknown member of the Railway Staff. The poster was first put on display at Easter time that same year in conjunction with a special three-shilling excursion from Kings Cross. The last of these trips ran on August Bank Holiday, 1913. Hassall, one of the greatest of all poster artists, drew many telling advertisements, but none so fine as the Jolly Fisherman. He visited Skegness only once in his life. That was in 1936 when the town which he had put on the map presented him with an illuminated address and "the freedom of the foreshore".
The 1960's British Railways Poster
John Hassall said, "the reality of Skegness has eclipsed all my anticipation's. It is even more bracing and attractive than I had been led to expect". Born in Deal, as a young man he twice tried, without success, to join the Army. In frustration he went off to Canada, and whilst there he turned his hand to sketching. Returning to England, he went on to Paris and Antwerp to study art, and the first pictures he sent to the Royal Academy were accepted. Hassall's original masterpiece hangs in a place of honour in Skegness Town Hall. It was formally given to the town by British Railways, along with the copyright in 1966. The artist died in 1948, eighty years old and penniless.

I can't remember now if I just had a regular pap smear or an actual HPV test. Any way that was a really busy time in my life and I ran across the prescription bottle today and noticed that I still had the full quantity of pills in the bottle and am trying to think now if i just completely forgot to start taking them all together? (severe ADD) Anyway my question is should i go ahead and start the 7 day regiment now, or would you recommend going in for another appt? Also if I do have HPV and its been 3+ years since I've addressed it (w/ no symptoms) what are the possible situations/consequences?
After an OBGYN visit in 09 I was prescribed Metronidazole for what I think could have been HPV but?

Christianity, Forgiveness, Jehovah God Almighty, Jesus Christ Son of God, Love Your Enemies, Satan, War between God and satan
Ok, i apologize, i stated i would continue this blog "in a couple days" from…5/7/2012 over a month ago now. :-( I simply haven't had the head room. In that blog from 5/17/2012 i asked a few questions. Please go back and read it so you get the idea here before you go on.
You may also go to my wayyyy older blogsite to see the first blog i wrote on this topic in 10/2009 at Homelesscrisis.blogspot.com i am sure you will find it interesting.Anyway the questions i asked from the 5/7/2012 blog here were: 1) Do You Love Your Enemies like we are instructed to do? Are you sure? 2) Do you know where i am going with this? 3) What extraordinary thing could YOU do? What would be truly extraordinary???
1) I wish and i honestly pray almost everyday that satan will come to his senses and ask Jehovah for Forgiveness. Yes, i said it…For Jehovah to Forgive satan and lets start cleaning up this mess, all of us….all 100% of us world wide. 2) Jehovah and Jesus state they are about Forgiveness and we are to forgive our enemies. satan is considered by many to be "the enemy". Why cannot Jehovah and Jesus continually encourage satan to ask for and receive forgiveness from them? I am not asking you a question, i am stating a point. So my prayer, my wish and my request of Jehovah and Jesus is to encourage and leave the door open for satan to come forward and ask for that forgiveness and put an end to all this craziness here on this Earth. I am not stating Jehovah should just wave his staff and "poof" satan is a changed soul and forgiven. No, i am saying satan must be given the same options we are given. Ohhhh, that outta get you going eh? :-))! 3) Do i despise satan and does he disgust me? Absolutely. Do i fight him daily? Absolutely. However, i also see him as one of Jehovah's family, so i keep an open mind. I hold out hope. Can i forgive satan? Nope. That is a God Job as my fiance, Pat would say. If Jehovah and Jesus forgives satan, then we all must also and i most definitely would do so at that time and celebrate his homecoming. I know, i know, you are shaking your head. Well, the more you think about Jehovah having a family you will get the fact that not only did his kid rebel, he had to boot him out of his house and slammed the door! In essence it is like saying your child is dead to you! You know exactly how that would feel. It makes me sad for Jehovah and Jesus. They have lost a once very close loved one. Once known as the Mighty Guardian before he was kicked out of Jehovah's house.
That is heartbreaking no matter who you are if you think about it and open your mind enough to picture it.
Enjoy your day and be blessed in Jesus's name.

Red Flag 5: When a Company Is Taking Longer to Convert Sales into Cash
It is all very well to have strong sales growth, but when a company is taking longer than usual to convert those sales into cash, it can be a sign of trouble ahead. For example, in 1999, telecom equipment maker Lucent Technologies needed about 40 percent longer to convert an average sale into cash than in 1997—93 days versus 68 days. Both inventories and receivables were climbing faster than sales at the time. Lucent struggled from the end of 1999 as cutbacks in telephone company spending forced it to slash jobs and money-losing production, post billions of dollars in losses, and watch as its market value collapsed.

I taste the butane when lighting a joint, wont even consider a glass pipe any more.. anything water filtered is good.. I like taste but the remnants in my head are more important to me. That 'inert dust' that makes it thru the screen (and most portables don't even have a screen between the bowl and your mouth) into your mouth and possibly into ones lungs. Inert. I'm not a scientist and sometimes not the brightest bulb in the package but inert material in lungs cant, in the long run, be good, IMO. of course just the act of vaping/smoking is putting inert material into ones lungs..

Salutations Snook,
www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/682435-Harm-Reduction-type-of-modded-vaporizer-pipe?p=14057145&viewfull=1#pos t14057145Sorry again, about the external link i mean. Please remove as you see fit, it only serves the purpose of taking some of the workload away.
N. B.: Please keep in mind i'm always tempted to refocus on the announced topic instead of *me*, the message carrier, etc.; hence the rest can only derail a conversation with me around! Nuke me if that's not tolerable.
Anyway i myself once had some similar concern at the sight of SiC dust resulting from the cold/hot (heat-powered) grinding action that may take place where surfaces still include angle features. At least i can testify that there were debris in the very begining when i tressed the material quite excessively, beyond reason to a point i ruined a sphere's paint finish (...), while i was still having so much more work to accomplish - evidently!
Years later my "Micro-Bursting" ritual begins with a Pre-Heat pulse that has been reduced in duration most radically (5 ~ 6 fold!), no longer probing the field with some dirty yellow 12 ~ 15 seconds flame using relatively "heavy" configurations that eventually required high-throttle "power" (kitchen!) flames to deal with them, initially!...
Then i gradually succeed taming down my "Heat Charge" in size, so to speak, searching for an ultimate "sweet-spot" covering the desired range of applications. E. G. without the "Pepper" and "Punch in the Face" effects as that was supposed to raise popular acceptability in a "Harm Reduction" context!...
As a result of constant work in progress i tried to explore various parameter combinations iteratively which allowed conversion to a cleaner blue butane flame lasting only 2 ~ 3 seconds as Pre-Heat bursts, with the flame removed before the real vaporist work begins.
Briefly put the SiC issues i've once observed should no longer cause apprehensions or at least not of the same magnitude, simply because the excess stress was finally removed and hence i no longer hear the characteristic cracking. That's why i kept using wet cotton to complement the path, though the experimenter is always free of adapting this system to anything he sees fit using even more performant materials (or switch to "Plan-A" for that matter!), because it's not about "me" (i don't view myself as a good topic , honestly!).
Yet if my "Lava" concept (and similar) ever managed to sound appealing and/or "sexy", stimulating, useful, valuable somehow, whatever, etc., then i'd feel like submitting this other challenge to the attention of the reader: to oppose the bigot anti-cannabic prohibitionist army with a true "weapon of mass seduction" on planet Itnoc!!
In a way that's all it always was about since the begining.
Good day, have fun!!

The absolute best and actually the only acceptable extraction I've gotten from a handheld has been from the Arizer Solo, with the thin, wide spread 4 hole PVHES 'shorty' bowls that planet vape used to make. The ones that accepted a sprung stainless convex (contact lens) screen across the 4 hole piece. Last time I bought some, the design had changed too much, they wouldn't suspend a mesh screen above the 4 hole wafer, the 4 holes were too close to the center, and too small.
The people designing these vapes are morons, I'll just say that. I wasted money on an e-nano, only to find it has zero engineering, the flow is sucked right down the center: THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, nothing to spread it out, leaving the herb around the edges to soak up the melting resin, making the path narrower every hit.
You have to suck air THROUGH the herb, through all of it. Not through some of it and by the rest of it. The herb itself should be treated as a filter. Hard to medium packed, medium grind, forcing air to extract the volatiles out. Throughout the entire width of the herb pack.
Allegory to bad vape design :You can't filter your grow room stink by blowing a fan over a pile of carbon. It has to be forced through its entire mass. Likewise, you can't extract melted oil from plant fiber by blowing heat acrossed it.
The original Solo was on spot at one time. But they kept changing the heat, and they never made glass for it worth a shit. Too thick, won't hold a screen, covers the air inlets. Outlets too narrow, outlets too small. Always something. It needs to be thin. The intake needs to be spread out to the edges, and the restriction behind the herb needs to serve one purpose: keeping the drawn airflow spread to the outer edges of the bowl so the path of least resistance is equal across the width, not down the center (4-5 holes around the perimeter, none in the center, with a mesh screen SUSPENDING the bud away from the plate for maximum surface contact with flowing air and minimal contact with the glass which reduces desired air contact).
Oh and a curved neck to catch particles missed by the mesh.. (Thats not a health issue, eating room temp weed is good for you, it won't suck through much once the resin starts melting so extra filtration is non issue, plus, 1/2" mesh comes in all sorts of fineness if you cant keep from dry sucking. Don't grind your herb into dust and it isn't noticable at all.. Only if you load your vape by sucking it up, or otherwise take a dry hit.) The expectorant properties of vaping itself completely negate any inert materials entering the lung, ie keef. I promise you, you inhale more dust from the air within 30 minutes of breathing. Vaping removes that too.
If anyone wants to make custom bowls for the Solo, I will guide you along the way. I think I already have. Planet Vape has went retard for some reason. Im not sure what the new Arizer glass looks like. Im dreading breaking my last original PVHES. Actually trying not to think about it..
Oh I also forgot to mention the Arizer EQ. Swap the female to female bowl with a wider ufo shaped one (FC member Ddave takes credit, if you cant find your own) and pack the upper top hat screen with bud.
The hard pack; forcing air through the bud, is the answer to all bad (conduction) vape designs. It doesn't work on the e-nano but the flow is wide enough on the EQ for "elbow packs". Wish some manufacturer would grasp this so the average person could have a good, full vaping experience without modding their new investment all to hell. Vapes like Mflb are just a novelty... Sucking air over the bud..no thanks, I dont want greasy leftovers and popcorn flavor! I want full extraction!

The color doesn't matter much, has more to do with how long the herb has been in the chamber than anything. Of course dirty chemical bud won't change color much, but we shouldn't be vaping metalic tasting bud anyway.
And to the guy saying Vapes don't taste as strongly as bho? Its amazing how different peoples experiences can be from region to region! Bho could never touch vaped flower taste or effects in my vaping experience. Always that basic sugary/spices taste, or the lemon taste, no complexity.
I've personally written concentrates off as a novelty since figuring out how a flower vape is suppossed to work. No need for the lesser satisfying fad product (no, the effects are not the same, Bho is missing something very important to my experience, making the buzz bland spacey, generic and soulless, non-therapeutic. But you know people who smoke say the same thing about vaping. (And i whisper under my breath "getting high off smoke and oxygen deprivation are we?"))

What's the most efficient vaporizer?
It seems like a simple question, but it's actually not that easy to answer, because it's highly dependent on your tolerance as well.
Generally speaking we can say that there are 3 types of efficiencies with a vaporizer:
1. Threshold-efficiency -> what's the minimum amount of herb you need to fill the bowl with, to produce good vapor (the larger the bowl usually the higher the amount this is. The Volcano for example is huge herb hog, but if you got a very high tolerance, it could still work out)
2. Session-efficiency -> generally speaking, conduction vapes like the PAX 3 heat your herb between your draws, which leads to waist during your session. Pure convection vapes don't have this issue. But there are actually only a few pure convection vapes, 1 of them is the Firefly 2.
3. Extraction-efficiency -> How quickly and effectively does the vaporizer extract the goodies out of your herb. This is a quite a subjective measure, but some vapes definitely extract the material quicker than others. The MIGHTY for example has an extremely powerful extraction.
In the end, it all depends on your tolerance. I personally have a low tolerance so I can get by with a few hits with tiny amounts of herb, for this style of vaping the Firefly 2 is perfect. My friend however has a very high tolerance and is much better off with the MIGHTY in terms of efficiency (he needs a full MIGHTY bowl and a full MIGHTY bowl will get you medicated stronger than a full Firefly 2 bowl for example).
One exception here are log vaporizers like the E-Nano. These vaporizers hit extremely hard (powerful extraction), but do so with really tiny amounts of herb. The only problem is these vapes are not portable.
Here you can find a full comparison of many different vapes and their efficiency:

Remember this set of Hybrid Cores was actually configured in order to maintain compatibility with "Bi-Energy", e.g. electro-magnetic INDUCTION HEAT...
But it is DIY only, sorry dudes.
N. B.: Though it's still in time for a Christmass project, i guess!...

Why are so many vapes still using metal screens? Can't they come up with something better? That's one of the reasons I loved my Arizer Solo; no screens. Definitely regret selling it.
I'm using the AirVape XS now, and although it's an excellent vaporizer, it's an absolute bitch to clean. The mouth piece gets clogged very quick. Not to mention replacement screens were $10!!

Taking its cues from the stripped down desert sleds
of the 1960s, the Scrambler reprises Triumph's
rich heritage in off-road competition in a modern
road-biased package.
Back in the day, competitors would take their Triumph
twins, strip them down and fit dirt tyres and
suspension, not to mention high level exhausts, and
head out on the rough terrain. These Triumphs
were hugely competitive in enduro competition and
famously ridden by Hollywood star Steve
McQueen in the 1964 International Six Day Trial (ISDT)
in the former East Germany.
The Scrambler takes its inspiration from those ISDT
machines with its classic styling dominated by
the twin high level exhausts, designed to provide
maximum ground clearance on rough terrain.
Spoked wheels with lightly knobbled tyres, high footrests,
rugged fork gaiters and wide off-road style
handlebars give a further nod to the Scrambler's
off-road heritage.
The utilitarian style is highlighted by the simple
single colour options: Jet Black and a military style
Matt Khaki Green, with a whole range of official Triumph
accessories available to further personalise the
Scrambler. Items such as headlight grilles, skid plate
and number boards can turn the Scrambler into a
real ISDT replica, while fly screen and leather luggage
options cater for the large number of Scrambler
owners who enjoy tackling the urban jungle each and
every day.
Powering the Scrambler is a unique version of Triumph's
865cc parallel-twin. Designed outwardly
to look like a classic 1960s twin, this DOHC eight-valve
unit is a low maintenance modern engine
developed to meet the most stringent emissions regulations.
The fuel-injected twin delivers a laid back 59PS,
with 68Nm of torque at just 4750rpm making the
Scrambler a breeze to ride in all conditions. With
its 270-degree crankshaft, the Scrambler takes on
a totally different character to the other models
in Triumph's classic range, producing a totally
off-beat soundtrack which can be cranked up a notch
with the fitment of the off-road Arrow exhaust
system available as part of Triumph's genuine
accessories range.

In our last post, we began looking at the issue of bias in child custody disputes. As we pointed out, it is important for parties to child custody cases to be aware of potential warning signs of judicial bias. Fortunately, most judges are conscientious of their obligation to remain neutral in these cases and work to avoid engaging in unfair treatment of parents or condoning such treatment by other parties involved in the process.
One area where bias can sometimes be seen in child custody cases is in the child custody evaluation process. This refers to the aspect of the custody case whereby an evaluator—typically a psychologist—evaluates the family and makes recommendations to the court regarding a custody/visitation plan.
Child custody evaluation is a critical aspect of the process because judges need to have a solid understanding of the factors bearing upon the best interests of the children. If the evaluator is not objective in his or her assessment, the judge is going to be at a disadvantage in terms of making the best decision for the children.
Theoretically, child custody judges should be able to recognize signs of bias in the custody evaluators they rely on, but this doesn't always happen. Not only can the children suffer when this happens, but parents may also be unfairly stripped of their parental rights, or limited in their ability to exercise them.
One example of how bias can play out in the child custody evaluation process might be a custody evaluator threatening to recommend removal of custody for a parent who expresses any negative thoughts about the evaluator, the other parent or a guardian. Another example might be exaggerating the bad actions of one parent while minimizing the bad actions of the other.
Next time, we'll look at a few other examples of bias in the child custody evaluation process and what an attorney can do to address the situation.

Morning aaaaalllll!!!!!
I hope you all had a good week-end.
I will write all my stats again as I only started 2 days ago and I feel I am already failing and need to tell myself off already!!!, jjjjjjj
I posted my very first weight 2 days ago when I started and I haven't managed to loose anything due to a fatty week-end with a friend in London (hopefully I won't see him again until one month time).
Sometimes friends can be very naughty and make you go stray. (I swear I will not use a friend as a excuse formy weaknesses any more!!).
I will set my goals first, then my stats again and then my pray to the Olympus' gods to achieve at least half of them! LOL.
-Loose near a pound a week (so I can shed round 12 pounds - or a stone if I manage- by the end of the 12 weeks NHS programme thing...). Though my ultimate goal would be to achieve a 5 stone weight loss over a longer period.
- change my fluid intake habit reaching 6 glasses a day.
- change my eating habits: cut down on snacking and healthier foods(very hard, really).
-set basic physical activities that help me move as I have such a sedentary life.
My stats, again, are:
- Bmi: 37.1
- weight: 95kg = 14 stone 13.44 pounds
shame on me as I scoffed a huge Indian super spicy and super fattening meal last Saturday!!!!.(just thought I would say farewell to my fattening old habits indulging in my "last supper" sort of meal...).
I hope my weigh- in session next week will be successful and hope to share with all of you.
I fear this is going to be a more tougher journey than I expected. lol.
Bless you all.

The Near South Area History
Steeped in history, Chicago's Near South Side is making history again as it becomes an exciting new neighborhood. Chicago's first residents saw the convenience of the Near South Side, building elegant townhouses along South Michigan Avenue.
The Great Chicago Fire skirted the area, and many displaced businesses found temporary homes in the South Loop. A little further south, Prairie Avenue became "Millionaire's Row," while other wealthy families were attracted to the leafy boulevards leading south to Washington Park.
Most of Chicago's railroads found their way into the city from the south, and the great train stations--Grand Central, LaSalle Street, Dearborn and Central--kept the South Loop bustling. A lusty vice district that grew up around the stations gave Chicago a notorious reputation until reformers shut it down in 1911.
Nearby, the sturdy lofts of Printing House Row housed the printers of millions of books and catalogs sent throughout the nation. Along South Michigan Avenue's "Motor Row," terra cotta showrooms with enormous windows were built to sell the new "horseless" carriages to the area's wealthy buyers.
The Near South Side has always welcomed Chicago visitors. Grand hotels faced Grant Park, and a dozen presidential candidates were nominated inside the old Coliseum at 15th and Wabash.
New lakefront parks were created on landfill in the 1920s, providing stunning sites for the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and Soldier Field.
The Century of Progress Exposition of 1933-34 brought the world to Chicago's lakefront even in the midst of the Great Depression. Since it opened in 1960, McCormick Place has become the nation's largest convention center, with another expansion under construction.
In the 20th Century, the neighborhood also welcomed tens of thousands of new Chicagoans: African-Americans who left the rural South in search of opportunity and freedom poured into the area.
By 1950, overcrowding and blight threatened the neighborhood, and the Near South Planning Board led such urban renewal efforts as Prairie Shores and Lake Meadows, and institutions like Illinois Institute of Technology, Michael Reese Hospital, and Mercy Hospital made new commitments to the neighborhood.
A different kind of renewal came to the South Loop beginning in 1977, as abandoned railyards and printing houses became the townhouses of Dearborn Park and the loft apartments of Printers Row.
As new developments spread to the south, everything from cold storage warehouses to hospitals were converted to apartments, while vacant railyards sprouted new townhouses and high-rise towers. The Near South Side has come roaring back to life, making history again.

FUNKSTOWN - There won't be seminars or formal artillery demonstrations at this weekend's Battle of Funkstown re-enactment.
But there will be plenty of fighting with about 200 re-enactors expected to participate this weekend, organizer Ron Benedict said. A street battle will be held Saturday morning on Baltimore Street and field battles will be Saturday and Sunday afternoons in Funks-town Community Park.
By keeping the schedule light with few activities there are more opportunities for visitors and re-enactors to interact, Benedict said.
"If people want to see a demonstration, they can talk to individual units. ... Most of the re-enactments that we attend are so crammed with a busy schedule that we don't have time a lot of times to sit back and talk to the public," he said.
The actual Battle of Funkstown lasted from shortly after sunrise to around 8 p.m. July 10, 1863, as Confederates retreated from Gettysburg, Pa., said Benedict, president of the re-enactment group the 6th Maryland Volunteer Infantry Regiment Inc. Approximately 600 soldiers on both sides died as Union forces pursued the Confederates, who had to hunker down and wait for the Potomac River to recede so they could cross.

Our Testimonials
…thank you for the great service. It's not often I come across someone who, instead of just wanting to make a sale, possesses extensive knowledge about the product(s) in question, and understands what the customer needs – even if sometimes he/she isn't too sure (ie. like me heheh). In all honesty, I have had the experience of walking into many music stores here, only to be constantly followed around or basically ignored. My experience at Sinamex was a complete 180 from that – it was a pleasure.Trevor Scully

Halfway Houses
For as long as there have been people, there have been violations of societal norms. With these violations comes the question, how do we solve these problems or violations? There have been many attempts to solve these problems, for example, in many cases from the beginning of time retribution has been the answer. Another form of punishment was eventually invented that would isolate offenders from the rest of the community. This punishment called incarceration, or prison, takes the violator out of the society in an effort to stop any future misdoings.
From their inception, prisons have attempted to act as both a deterrent and a rehabilitator. However, in certain times one of these is more stressed than the other. In the case of drug offenders the rehabilitation aspect would is more important. But, overall prisons encounter many different situations and must be very adaptive to all kinds of offenders and types of reform. The prison system today is a very important part of our society and will probably always remain that way.
With all this in mind it seems that the prison systems of today would be able to handle the criminal acts that happen every day. However, despite much funding and hard work from all those involved, the prison system seems to have many problems. Is it possible to solve these problems and make the system work more efficiently?
I feel that the answer to this question is yes. I say this because there are many ways that the prison system reform can start. Many areas can be looked at and worked on without affecting the system as a whole, or making rash decisions like up heaving the entire system.
The current trends and success rates of today's prisons must be evaluated. One important idea to keep in mind is the rate at which offenders repeat crimes, this is known as the recidivism rate. If a prison is to be seen as successful, it must have a low recidivism rate. On the other hand, if the recidivism rate is very high it is possible to hypothesize that there are major problems within the prison system.
With all this in mind it becomes more possible to see what is being done and if it is truly working to the best level possible. Once you understand this you can begin to look at things in a more deep and a much closer look
Also, keep in mind that it is a fact of life that attitudes and approaches regarding the corrections system are often driven not only by financial considerations, but the political views of those in charge at the time. (Greenburg; Peguese)
However, what is clear from the data coming, not only from today's headlines, but more importantly, studies from corrections publications, is that the system as it currently exists is not meeting the needs of society or those of the inmates. While the system is not in danger of collapse, a number of significant issues need to be addressed now, in the short term. Moreover, in considering the various problem issues, changes to the system can be made that will benefit society and the well being of the inmates. These changes will not necessarily be cost-prohibitive, and they will likely reduce recidivism rates.
Consider the following:
What social issues contribute to incarceration? The United States has the highest per-capita incarceration rate in the world. Why? In 1994, the US Government and individual states, operated 840 prisons, holding a total of approximately 700, 000 inmates; compared to Canada where there where 40 prisons holding 31, 000 inmates. (World Book Encyclopedia, Vol. 15, p. 805) The US incarceration rate more than doubled between 1980 and 2000, with one out of every 32 Americans adults under correctional supervision at the end of that period. (Allen, Simonsen, Latessa; Pages 168-169) Though some of these issues do not fall within the realm of the correctional system itself, they merit consideration. We must look at least ask ourselves what we as a...

Lt. General James Longstreet
Although it is not completely clear to me at this time what the relative connection is, long-time family history has proudly passed down the information that I am related to this proud Confederate officer. Further research indicates that he was a distant cousin, the descendant of one of four brother that immigrated to New Jersey from Holland. I am a descendant of one of the other brothers.
James Longstreet was born on January 8, 1821 near Edgefield, South Carolina. He died in Gainesville, Georgia on January 2, 1904, just short of his 83rd birthday. He is buried in Alta Vista Cemetery in Gainesville, Georgia.
He was appointed to the US Military Academy and graduated as a 2nd Lt. in 1842. He served in the War with Mexico before his celebrated part in the Civil War.
I could continue with more historical facts on this great man, but it would only be repeating information gathered from a most remarkable source, The Longstreet Chronicles, web page of Brian Hampton. So I encourage you, after finishing here, to make the journey to the ultimate in biographical information about James Longstreet. You will learn more there than I could ever cover here, and in a great format. Tell him I sent you.
Below are some pictures of and about James Longstreet that I have gathered, that I am very proud of.

Cross border business- what you should do to recognize and prevent an incident when traveling in Latin America
Author's note: In our previous two pieces we discussed the existence of kidnapping and extortion risks in Latin America for businesses pursuing growth opportunities there and an employer's Duty of Care to their employees when they travel for business to higher risks areas.
This article dives into finer details on how to prevent those situations from occurring and the best steps for remaining safe if such a circumstance does arise. While these tips are aimed at small and medium businesses with plans for or recent expansion to Latin America, they need not only apply to your employees in the region. They can also be shared with family or friends living there and anyone vacationing or sightseeing in these high risk areas
Kidnapping groups in the Latin America region vary from inexperienced and opportunistic criminals, to professional and well-organized groups such as drug trafficking cartels. While they differ in sophistication and tactics, they all tend to engage in some degree of victim selection and targeting.
In a recent kidnapping case that outlines poor security awareness in a high-risk area, two high-profile entrepreneurs were kidnapped from outside a mall in broad daylight in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The pair had developed a habit of taking lunch at the same food court, travelling between their office and the mall along the same route at the same time of day, while unbeknownst to them a group of criminals were watching their every move.
One day, on their way back from the mall, they were intercepted by two vehicles and forced into one of the kidnappers' cars. The kidnappers initially demanded $200,000 USD from one of the victims, which he was able to negotiate to a final settlement figure of $36,000 USD. The captors held onto one of the victims while taking the other to a bank to retrieve the money. Afterward, they were dropped off in a different neighborhood to the area they were abducted from, and escaped the experience physically unscathed.
During the selection phase, the kidnappers conducted surveillance of the victims and established an understanding of their routines and that they used the same restaurant for lunch on a daily basis.
The restaurant provided an ideal location for the kidnappers as they could easily surveil the victims without being exposed. Unity estimates that 75 percent of kidnap victims are targeted in vicinity of their residence or workplace.
3 Safety precautions:
1 Avoiding a precdictable routine
Hence, avoiding a predictable routine can be effective to deterring would-be kidnappers. This can involve leaving and returning to frequently visited locations at different times, while travelling via different routes and alternating between various transport methods.
2. Be prudent about posting information on the internet
The kidnapping group would have estimated the wealth of the pair before deciding whether to carry out the abduction, and this would have led to an above average demand for the entrepreneurs. In many cases the kidnapping group will use the Internet as a primary tool for researching their victims. However, a more conspicuous indication of an individual's wealth would be the vehicle they drive or the clothes they wear, which in this case were of considerable value.
3. Be mindful of appearance
High profile or wealthy individuals should be mindful of their appearance when travelling in high-risk areas or parts of a city experiencing serious criminal activity. Further, be mindful to protect personal and organizational information, including information on the internet, social media, and the press. Ultimately, the safety and security of an individual or their family is only as good as the security awareness practiced in a potentially dangerous environment. Those that require this type of training should consider an established and competent security consulting firm such as Unity Resources Group.

Engineers have created carpets made of carbon nanotubes to enhance the flow of heat where computer chips connect to heat sinks. Researchers are trying to develop new types of thermal interface materials that conduct heat more efficiently than conventional materials, improving overall performance and helping to meet cooling needs of future chips that will produce more heat than current microprocessors. Purdue University researchers have made several new thermal interface materials with carbon nanotubes, including a Velcro-like nanocarpet.
"The bottom line is the performance that we see with nanotubes is significantly better than comparable state-of-the-art commercial materials," said Timothy Fisher, an associate professor of mechanical engineering who is leading the research. "Carbon nanotubes have excellent heat-conduction properties, and our ability to fabricate them in a controlled manner has been instrumental in realizing this application."
Recent findings have shown that the nanotube-based interfaces can conduct several times more heat than conventional thermal interface materials at the same temperatures. The nanocarpet, called a "carbon nanotube array thermal interface," can be attached to both the chip and heat sink surfaces. As heat flows through conventional thermal interface materials, the temperature rises about 15°C, whereas the nanotube array material causes a rise of about 5°C. The nanotubes range in diameter from less than 1 nm to about 100 nm.
The nanotube carpets also might have military and other commercial applications for cooling power electronics. The research has been funded by Purdue's Cooling Technologies Research Center, supported by the National Science Foundation, industry and Purdue to help corporations develop miniature cooling technologies for a wide range of applications, from electronics and computers to telecommunications and advanced aircraft.
Applications in power electronics are being supported by the Air Force Research Laboratory in association with the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue's Discovery Park. The technology is ready for commercialization and is being pursued by several corporate members of the cooling research center.

a guest from Cypress, TX recommends this vacation rental
I only have one complaint about the property, the beds and the pillows. The queen sized mattress and the pillows in that room were as hard as rocks and I woke up the next morning with some pretty bad neck pain. Other than that the property was perfectly
clean and nice. We enjoyed going down to the lawn to grill with the rest of our family and there were a lot of families out there doing the same. It was quiet in the evening.
Tip: The parking lot next door to the condos is offsite parking for Rock'n R rentals and they have a shuttle. We were able to walk next door and grab a bus to Rock'n R and put in on the Comal very easily and didn't have to worry about driving and parking. Incredibly

Commissioned Portrait Painting In The Cubestraction Style
Have your portrait or family portrait painted by American Master Painter Anthony R Falbo.
Your painting will be created in the way you want, in a fresh modern bright colorful abstract fashion called Cubestraction. For more information click on Contact at the top of the page.
Anthony Falbo's art has a very noticeable and unique artistic flair that today is recognized and collected throughout the world. With a steady demand internationally the value of owning an authentic Falbo has soared. His Cubestraction series has, and still continues to receive tremendous praise throughout the art community. Falbo's art can be seen in many of the most esteemed private collections.
Being well known for his works in the Light and Dark, Cubestraction, Genesis, and Impressionist series, is what makes Anthony Falbo recognized as one of the most versatile master painters in the twenty first century. His works are envied by many but duplicated by no one.
The Cubestraction series is all about color and composition. Working in the cubism style gives Falbo even more freedom to express himself. His goal with each painting within this series is to create a colorful work of art, with a simple composition that portrays different events in life. Dealing with a variety of subjects such as music, religion, sports, animals and people, is what gives Anthony Falbo a chance to take things to the extreme. His fluency of colors in the Cubestraction series is an uncanny way of portraying the truth, and brings a bold array of harmony that seems to vibrate off the canvas.
Falbo's Light and Dark series combines the rich colors in a surrealistic and spiritual style that suggests to us to look at the light and dark or good and evil in our surroundings of everyday life.As God has used symbolism in his language of expression in parts of the bible, symbolism is also used throughout the series connecting many of his paintings together portraying shocking revelations of future events. Falbo continues to add to this prolific series when inspired.
Anthony Falbo states that from the very beginning his motivation and drive for his works of Art was, and still is, his strong Christian beliefs. Without them there would be no Falbo Art.

My intention to whip out Pasta Carbonara finally materialised (before the milk expired!!).... Well, I'd say it was rather simple actually, just make sure the egg and milk mixture is done properly, and after that, walla! it's done!
Imagine - I actually whipped it out for erm 'late tea' yesterday (in view of a late dinner) and then I made too much sauce so I had it again this morning for breakfast. Haha, so now I'm stuffed. And its amazing how fresh spring onions make the difference in the dish. I was too lazy to add the spring onions last night cos it was a miserably small portion, so instead I just sprinkled some parsley flakes (yeah, the dried ones). This morning, I decided to add the fresh spring onions, and my, my, my...it was awesome. The taste and smell of it was sort of enhanced. Yummy! I could do it again tomorrow. :D
And the best part of last night was - I had seafood pasta later in the night. Hehe yeah, this time the plate was piled full with squid and clams. Yummy! But in a tomato-based sauce.
When I got the carbonara recipe (okay, before this I had no idea what exactly went into the making of this dish other than cheese, milk, probably some cream and bacon and of course pasta la), I was surprised to find that it had eggs in it too. Then when I read the instructions/directions, I realised the egg isn't really actually completely cooked. And when I tried it myself I also noticed the same. Or does it? Well, I actually have no idea. My night attempt tells me it wasn't, but this morning when i did it again, it seemed to be, cos perhaps my egg&milk mix this time was better. Cos the night attempt had my carbonara sauce looking abit weird with bits n pieces of coagulated cooked eggy. Hmmm....but anyway, it's ok with me, whether its cooked or not. It was just my attempt at being cautious of what I take now and previously cos at my early stages of pregnancy, I was a huge carbonara 'consumer'. So if the eggy wasn't properly cooked, it's well, not encouraged....
Anyway anyhow, just hope that so far it's been so good, so it will be good! :D
No pasta tonight definitely...erm, I think.... :) hehe

You are right, and I don't think God likes it that we do nothing. Though I'm not sure what we should do.
You are so right Carolee; and Israel has a history of doing so, sort of like love your enemy. Reportedly, the Nigerian government was quite thankful for Israel's help.
I understand that Israel is stepping in to try to help . . . so maligned by one and all but possessing hearts to help wherever they can . . . no matter friends or enemies!!!
Cathy, it really can be overwhelming. It's as though much of the world, probably most, either don't believe in God or think He was just joking. A rude awakening awaits.
That is the only answer. It is a sad world we are living in; and if it's sad for us, must be really sad with the Almighty.
It is heartbreaking, and the video says it all. God cannot be happy with the good or the bad. I'm not really sure what we could do, but something. If the armies of the civilized world can't find these thugs around the world, it's worrisome.
There is only one answer to these problems and that is the Second Coming. Maranatha

My greatest pleasure comes from making vessels which hold someone's intimate and personal story. By incorporating found material from the place where a couple became engaged or from the foundations of the family home; by adding an architects drawing of a house extension or an image of the skyline; by sealing the words of a poem inside a vessel I can bring your special place alive and make a piece of art which will last for generations.
