The cycle test came and went a few weeks back, and after all the busy busy works of Pragyan '08 everyone is back to their campus lives. Students with acads and stuffs, and teachers with the *evaluated* cycle test papers and the syllabus to complete. One by one, we have started getting the papers, with 18s and 12s and 13s and what not out of 20 marks, that we had attempted in a time span of 1 hour. With all the congratulations, kalais, treat askings and "oh god! screwed up once again", "i will learn from my mistakes, there is always next time" and "oh shit! that was the most stupid mistake!" and all sorts of happiness and realisations, life takes a pretty different turn. Some go on with this time, I couldn't get what I aimed for, next time there is no excuses! And there are some who say, I just passed with so much of effort, then why should I take the effort at all, and then there are some who go behind the professors for more marks and grace marks!
NIT-T has all kind of dudes and dudettes you see. So what is this post all about. I specifically wanted to write about the first cycle test mathematics paper. It shouldn't be tagged tough, because it was a decent and a standard question paper. The questions selected were challenging indeed. It was speculated that the questions weren't picked up from anywhere, the professor, himself dedicated time and made the questions! That's awesome! The standard of the paper was not compromised, and it provided itself worthy. Of course, it screwed up the marks of many, but it made us to think and practice. And that is what is needed for a budding engineer I believe. And on 20 I could score only a total of 13 marks. Yes, everyone felt it challenging indeed.
On the eve of the examination, somehow the discussion drifted to the teacher and his style of setting the paper. The teacher is Prof. Janakiraman (I suppose I have spelt him correcly), who handles mathematics for section F, in 1st years. He brings his own questions, questions that are not picked from anywhere, but which he made himself, dedicating his time. And hence, the answers also used to be arbit and kind of crappy. Well, I first thought he was no good a teacher. Well, even if he makes questions, the answers should be something decent (well, I have come to realise that there can be questions with creepy answers when solving real life senarios 🙂 ). But my assumptions were contradicted, after I attempted his question paper. I believe, that it was lack of time and insufficient or inefficient practice. At times the gods of mathematics just ditch us that the mathematics in us does not get in resonance with our intellectuals and hence we don't put up our best show. Think that just happened with most of the fellas out here in my batch.
I am happy that, this teacher took the initiative to set the mathematics paper for us this semester (it's been 7 years since he set a question paper. dunno if it is the truth or just another rumour.) Or else, I would not have faced this challenge, the real challenge that mathematics can hold for us, when time and thoughts become extremely precious.
Hats off to Prof. Janakiraman!

Figure X
July 3, 2006
Letters, like a windfall of poisoned apples from a tree, cascade through the slot in the front door. The house, an anomaly amid the neat town houses of Thomas Cubitt, is tucked away from the street and from the world behind a high stucco wall topped with four sandstone spheres. The postman resents the walk down the driveway. The gardener now only rarely comes, telling Nancy that there isn't much that can be done on the amount she pays him, and if she isn't prepared to hire someone to do the serious work then it's a downward spiral from here on– And so the building swathes itself in the green, darkening its days as if within a wood.
Anita tentatively rises from the table and makes her way through to the hall. There it is upon the doormat, the white oblong she has waited for all week.

Chinese checkout-free store operator Xingbianli has denied rumors that it will exit third- and fourth-tier cities due to failing business, claiming the company is reassessing its store locations in smaller cities for better strategic planning.
Xingbianli's business sustainability has long been questioned. To expand quickly, Xingbianli reportedly placed snack bars in offices with as few as 30 people, which is much lower than its competitors' standard of 50 to 100 people, raising questions about profitability. Its competitors Citybox and Xiaoe Weidian only locate their snack bars in offices with more than 100 people, according to local media.
In a statement circulated online, Xingbianli said the company is still expanding in third- and fourth-tier cities, but it has become more careful when assessing the location and market of these cities.
Rumors have been circulating that due to its cash-strapped business, Xingbianli has failed to restock empty shelves in the second and third-tier cities and it had stopped expansion in third- and fourth-tier cities. Also, a large number of staff it recruited just two months ago have reportedly been let go.
The start-up just raised a RMB380 million (US$57 million) series A1 round led by Sequoia Capital China last November, two months after it completed an angel round of over RMB100 million (US$14 million) led by Lightspeed China Partners.
Xingbianli's investors include China Renaissance Group, Vision Plus Capital, Zhang Tao, founder of Meituan-dianping, and Wang Xing, founder of Chinese social media platform Renren Inc.
"Competition between checkout-free store operators is intense and it is common for the leading players to burn cash to gain market share," an industry analyst told local media. "It is unclear whether Xingbianli is cash-strapped but it is highly possibly if the company did not allocate its funding well."
Currently, few checkout-free stores are profitable. It is estimated that daily costs of replenishment and goods are around RMB400 (US$61) while daily revenue of a shelf is less than RMB100 (US$15), excluding operation costs and rents.
Last year, cashier-free stores attracted millions of dollars of investments in China. Eight start-ups in the space have raised a total US$385 million as of last September. China Money Network has reported on the emerging sector and questioned the sustainability with revenue and cost analysis.

Before Season 6 of Game of Thrones started, we glanced our beady eyes over each of the major Houses in the Seven Kingdoms and gazed into our fezzy-shaped crystal balls to predict the potential casualties this year. Here we intend to see how right, or wrong, we were! Whatever the result, at the end of this article, we'll also once again put our heads together and come up with some suggestions for what we'd like to see in the last two seasons. So here goes…
The Predictions
House Lannister
Who was left?
Cersei, Jaime, Tyrion, Tommen, Lancel and Kevan.
Who did we think was going to die?
Danielle: Tommen and Lancel.
Marieke: Tommen and Lancel.
We weren't far off here. None of the main siblings were offed, indeed, but we both completely forgot about Kevan. A Fezzy Home Alone moment here. Perhaps the only surprise about Tommen's death was how casual the fall to his death seemed. Haunting.
House Targaryen
Who was left?
Just Daenerys apparently.
Who did we think was going to die?
Danielle: No one!
Marieke: No one!
Nope. Of course not. Instead we had the expected and much anticipated confirmation of a half Targaryen walking around. Hello Jon! (Or shall we say Jaehaerys?) All the dragons are still alive too, and are accompanying the glorious ships at the end of the season.
House Tyrell
Who was left?
Margaery, Loras, Olenna and Mace.
Who did we think was going to die?
Danielle: Loras.
Marieke: Loras.
Well, we fell for that one. Danielle even predicted a different outcome for Mace: "it seems that the Head of the house is now the most safe." Well, no one was safe, and we're both sad Margaery did not make it. Her cunning plan was all for nothing. Loras was a given, although we did not see the mutilation right before his death coming. Poor Loras, he was always unlucky wasn't he? It turns out Finn Jones got his Iron Fist role after finishing GoT, but the timing is so apt Marieke's prediction stands. The other much beloved Tyrell did make it out and is out for revenge, fire and blood. All hail the Queen of Thorns! And could Diana Rigg please be added to the opening titles now?
House Bolton
Who was left?
Roose, Ramsay, Fat Walda and her and Roose's unborn child.
Who did we think was going to die?
Danielle: All of them.
Marieke: At least Walda and son, hopefully a brutal death for Ramsay.
We got what we wished for? Ramsay's death was brutal. Maybe even more so after he used the exact same tactics on his stepmother and half-brother. We could only wish for House Bolton to become extinct, but for once in Thrones we got what we wished for. Or as Sansa put it: "Your words will disappear. Your house will disappear. Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear."
House Greyjoy
Who was left?
Balon, Theon, Yara and Euron looks set to make an appearance in Season 6.
We didn't really make a prediction for them, which means we forgot about Balon, who was predestined to die when Melisandre threw the leech into the fire and said his name back in Season 3. The deed was done by Euron, whose entrance was much cooler than any of his later scenes. He practically disappeared once the Greyjoy siblings took off. Reek was still partially present in Theon, but Yara had an amazing way of pep talking him out of Theon in the brothel. Marieke was just delighted the bridges were back in the opening titles.
House Stark
Who was left?
Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon and Benjen(?)
Who did we think was going to die?
Danielle: Rickon.
Marieke: Wondered if Rickon still even existed. And Jon. Jon was dead.
Poor Rickon 'Shoulda Zig-Zagged' Stark never really stood a chance. Marieke declared Benjen a goner and was proven massively wrong. Danielle was much more optimistic (and you can read about why she thought his return was so important here). Jon was technically dead, but much to Marieke's surprise he was returned to life by Melisandre. She did not see that coming at aallll. She also mentioned Hodor as a joke and jinxed the poor giant. Possibly the biggest Stark related surprise there, even bigger than Benjen.
House Martell
Who was Left?
Doran, Ellaria Sand, The Sand Snakes (Tyene, Obara, Nymeria) and Trystane
Who did we think was going to die?
Danielle: Trystane.
Marieke: IDGAF.
Danielle was right about Trystane. The back of his head must've been sore. The matriarch-led coup, we did not see coming though. (Poor Doran, he was a good ruler). In truth, the only scene we enjoyed in Dorne this year was Olenna sticking it to the Sand Snakes.
The Other Major Players
Who was left?
Ser Jorah Mormont, Daario Naharis, Grey Worm, Missandei, Bronn, Brienne of Tarth, Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish, Varys, Ser Robert Strong, Meera Reed, Melisandre, Ser Davos Seaworth, Podrick Payne, Hodor, Jaqen H'ghar, Edmure Tully, Brynden 'The Blackfish' Tully, High Sparrow, Tormund Giantsbane, Edd Tollett, Samwell Tarly, Gilly, Alliser Thorne, Olly, Osha, Walder Frey, The Three-Eyed Raven, The Night's King and his army of White Walkers and Wights.
Who did we think was going to die?
Danielle: Possibly Jorah and/or Daario. Alliser Thorne, Olly and the rest of the Night's Jon murdering Watch members. The High Sparrow. Walder Frey, possibly. The Three-Eyed Raven.
Marieke: Jorah. The Night's Watch traitors. Melisandre. All those religious militants.
As soon as Jon gasped his way back to life, back to reality again, there was no way for Alliser and co to avoid those nooses around their necks. It was an easy prediction to make. We both thought we'd see the last of Jorah. Marieke now hopes he will find a cure to join his Khaleesi once she's fighting for the throne. Ser Friendzone was actually missed! As cheesy as his goodbye with Dany was, it was definitely more emotional than her goodbye from Daario. He did not die, but was just ditched in favour of being eligible for marriage. He was no Son of the Harpy either. Danielle will take those words back 😛 Marieke just wonders if we will see him again: Michiel Huisman is hot! Melisandre had plot armour (she predicted she'd see the youngest Stark girl again) and since Arya can travel fast, but not that fast, it will keep her alive at least until they meet again.
The High Sparrow and all of the religious militants are dead. We forgot about separating Septa Unella from the bunch, although Cersei clearly didn't. Whilst the FrankenMountain created a little havoc, he wasn't the key player in the High Sparrow's demise. Meanwhile, up in the North, Brienne did gain Sansa's trust. Phew! Davos' reading skills also gave him plot armour. Well, maybe it was the little stag he gave Shireen, but let Marieke have this one. Danielle predicted more deaths, Marieke just hoped the good guys would make it (Sam! Davos! Tormund!)
Most Satisfying Death?
Marieke: Ramsay. I don't know how we got what we wished for, but we did!
Danielle: Yup! Definitely Ramsay. He had it coming!
Most Heart-wrenching Death?
Marieke: Hodor. Because it was so surprising, heartbreaking, built-in since the start of the books/show…
Danielle: Again we're in agreement. The fact that he'd known he was going to die in such awful circumstances and with such bravery all along left me a complete wreck.
Best New Character?
Marieke: I pledge to you, Lady Lyanna Mormont. What a badass little girl taking on so much responsibility. Love her!
Danielle: All hail the Little Bear and her 62 fighting men! Bella Ramsey's character puts those other Northern Lords to shame.
Best Return?
Marieke: It was the season of returns, wasn't it? Although Benjen was much needed because of those wights and walkers, I liked the Hound's return the most. However, the Blackfish was glorious in his standoff with Jaime at Riverrun…
Danielle: I'm split between Benjen and The Hound. The missing Stark's return in the nick of time to save his nephew also had the added bonus of giving us further insight into the White Walkers. Nevertheless, I'd really missed Sandor Clegane's 'No bullsh*t' approach to life.
Best Traveller?
Marieke: Varys and Arya are giving Littlefinger a run for his travel cheques.
Danielle: Varys cinched this one in the finale. Boy, must that eunuch have some serious Air Miles!
Best Rower?
Marieke: Gendry. So fast we can't even see him anymore. Work on your rowing skills, Pod.
Danielle: I'd quite like to see a boat race between Gendry and Pod. The former must be 95% upper arm muscles by now.
Hopes For the Last Two Seasons?
Marieke: At least one massive battle. No wait, one battle within the realm and one with the Night King et al. I hope all of Dany's ships will make it to Dragonstone. Also Jorah has to find a cure and return. Arya should reunite with Jon and Sansa, and Littlefinger needs to get his comeuppance. The Hound, Melisandre and Arya should meet again. Giant babies for Brienne and Tormund. Cersei going even madder before her ultimate demise. A superb alliance to fight the Night King. Bran reuniting with his siblings. Bran warging a dragon. Olenna getting her revenge. Jaime to turn to the light side. Sam becoming the überMaester of all Maesters. But most of all, I just want to see next season please!
Danielle: I'm itching to see Dany make it to Dragonstone as well. It's the place where she was born and the mirroring with her ancestor Aegon the Conqueror, who launched his conquest of Westeros from there, would be quite something. Of course she has to kick some ass in King's Landing too. I'd like to see her decimate the Lannister army and enter the Throne room with Tyrion, only to find Jaime has already offed Cersei and once again is waiting on the Iron Throne until the conquering Queen arrives. That way, after reuniting with his little brother, the King/Kinslayer will be free to head up North and get jealous of Tormund's mad flirting skills with Brienne. It'd be nice for Gendry to pop up out the woodwork now too. Arya seems all but lost, and high up on my wishlist after a reunion with Jon and Sansa, I'd also like to see her reconnect with someone else from her past who can help her to remember the girl she used to be. As a gifted blacksmith, I wouldn't mind seeing him team up with Sam to figure out how to forge Valyrian steel either. Elsewhere, I'd also love to witness Littlefinger taking a trip through the Moon Door up in The Vale, and a showdown between the Night King and Bran where The Wall comes crashing down has the potential to be epic. The possibilities to hope for are endless!
So what did you think to Season 6? How would you like to see the final two seasons play out? Let us know in the comments…

i Heart faces Photo Challenge - Beautiful Black and White
Friday, March 9, 2012
There's a new challenge at i Heart faces called Beautiful Black and Whites. So I did a little studio session (on the floor next to my computer desk--very professional, don't cha know) and Katie did a little posing for me. I love that she is getting more into it now that she's seven!!! Eek, it seems like it was only a few weeks ago when we went on our Adoption Trip to China to bring our Katie home (*sniff)
Anyway, here is one of the shots I really like--we were going for dramatic black and white.
OMG, I just noticed that she's got sock-fuzz between her toes *groan*. I suppose I could go back and Photoshop it out :DThis photo was submitted to the I Heart Faces photo challenge – www.iheartfaces.com

Two facet mesh pockets can keep drinking water bottles whilst beefier again padding also will help enhance the pack's load carrying capacity up to fifteen lbs .. Click for Specs.
But, if an Grownup is hauling added for youthful members on the bash it helps to acquire a lot more cupboard space and a capability of no less than 40 liters.
A critical piece of any gear closet is a go-to daypack. It's Everything you seize for practically any kind of outdoor journey, regardless of whether it's a hike, bicycle trip, or day on the slopes.

Residents Demand Changes to the Bowtie of Death
Residents of Manhattan's upper West Side want the Department of Transportation to make a high traffic intersection safer
Residents of the Upper West Side have demanded change to an intersection they have dubbed the Bowtie of Death.
The Bowtie which lies on 71st street between Broadway and Amsterdam, earned its name by how the three streets seem to kiss each other. It earned it's infamy by way of being the site of 34 pedestrian collisions since 2010. The awkward spacing of the area and its high volume of traffic on both foot and car create a perfect storm for collisions to occur. "There are taxi cabs that have careened into one of the most heavily used subway systems in the city," says Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, "We've had accident after accident here. This is a very dangerous intersection."
Residents look to the New York City Department of Transportation to implement the change, but little has been done since they agreed to renovate the intersection last year. Some of the changes that are being asked for are creating left turn arrows and a reworking of the traffic flow so that it would be safer for pedestrians to cross. The only change to the Bowtie of Death since August 2010 when Stringer fist had this press conference was the addition of countdown timers for pedestrian walkways. Some residents are quick to point out that in many cases the timers run too short for the average person to reasonably make it across in time, while others avoid them altogether and just cut diagonally through the intersection.
The Bowtie of Death's high collision rates among pedestrians are of great interest to the large senior citizen population and parents of young children. The concern is that they won't have the ability to avoid being struck by a vehicle if conditions in the intersections remain the way they are. Local resident Katina Ellison is worried about her 13 year old daughter getting to that age where she can walk around town by herself. "My number one fear, way more than something like abduction," Ellison said, "is definitely an accident as a result of her being a pedestrian in this kind of traffic."

Sometimes being a mom is being unseen. Actually a lot of times. I'm pretty sure the only people that really see me is the nursing baby and my (road) dog. You learn to balance the caos, whether effectively or not, people only see the end results. No one sees how long it took to dress, feed, and get them out of the house. No one knows the thought that goes into:
- balancing play time
- education
- outdoor time
- keeping them from hurting themselves
- extracurricular activities
- teaching self worth and empathy
- feeding a balanced diet
- teaching and letting them figure it out
- loving them and loving yourself
- learning to say no without actually saying no.
To name a few. Keep trucking on moms. We may seem like supermom but often we don't feel that way. We feel like Louise Laine doing her and Kent's job of saving the world. The end result of our work is our children, and that's what really matters.

It can't be that my sweet Katie turned 4 this week!
That would mean that she's moved into the little girl stage of her life.
And that . . . just can't be!
In the last four years she's grown into a sweet, loving little sister.
But, she's adapted to the role of big sister beautifully and is so good at it!
She's full of life, energy, love and questions.
She loves baby dolls, singing, school, her sisters (and her new brother; more on that later)!
She is unpredictable, unique, happy and so very, very loved!
Happy Birthday, Katherine Loren!

A man will appear in court, charged over alleged arson attacks on two schools on the Gold Coast.
In the first instance, emergency crews responded to reports of a fire inside a classroom at a school on Oceanic Drive in Mermaid Waters last Wednesday night.
Then on Friday night, crews were required to extinguish a small fire in a classroom at a Fairway Drive school at Clear Island Waters.
No one was injured as a result of the fire, but the schools sustained smoke, water and fire damage.
A 17-year-old man from Clear Island Waters has since been charged with two counts of arson and one count of wilful damage, among other charges relating to the arson attacks.

I have been in the same situation. But let me tell you, sometimes we need to let go of the things not meant for us in order for other, better things to slide into place as they are meant to. One day you will meet a man who is worthy of you and your beautiful daughter, and you will think, "Ex-husband, who?". It takes a long time to overcome loss and to grieve, what you are feeling is very natural. The hole in your heart will heal itself in time and you will be ready to accept other, better things into your life. Keep up the great work :)Audrey firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475665824527932978.post-60436765470757000842013-10-02T19:02:27.026-04:002013-10-02T19:02:27.026-04:00I love you!

Little Show Stopper
When her turn comes, she marches up to the podium with the other kids in her group. She waits patiently in line, then steps up the two steps to grab the microphone. You can barely see the top of her head over the pulpit, but she says in a clear loud voice, "My testimony is strengthened when I share the gospel!" A smile is threatening to split my face and tears are pricking my eyes. Then....
She won't let go of the microphone and says "I want to say it again!" Bless the hearts of her teacher and the primary leader who was helping the kids, they let her say it again. Everyone was laughing. I couldn't stop. I was crying I was laughing so hard. Luckily a song was next and the kids were loudly singing about the prophets as they pulled her away from the pulpit. She threw a bit of a fit, but her teacher knows just how to calm her and had her standing in front of her seat singing along with the other kids in no time.
I'm so grateful for patient, determined teachers and leaders that are in place to help Maggie. I'm grateful for a loving, supportive husband, and for an adorable and exhaustingly active son. I'm grateful for an energetic, stubborn, outgoing, curious daughter. My family brings me so much joy. I love them.

Parents of Picky Eaters: There is hope!
Brandon is wondering if maybe we should hold her back a year because she'll be one of the youngest in her grade. Opinions? He said he had a hard time sometimes being a young one as well. I don't want to make school unnecessarily difficult for her. Luckily I've still got a year before that decision needs to be made. I know she definitely won't need the help academically, but maybe socially...

Summer Fun
Anyway.... thought summer would be awful, turns out it wasn't. YAY! We had lots of fun outings with family and friends. Here is a barrage of pictures to prove what fun we had in no particular order:
Saturday, July 13, 2013
Last Day of School
Saturday, April 20, 2013
Busy, busy, busy
I wish there was some explanation other than "Life" for why I can't get done all the things I want to. Like staying up to date with my blogging. My most recent excuse is that my computer is up in my bedroom, which I only go into at night. Day time hours are spent running around elsewhere, and by the time I've made it back to my room I just collapse exhausted on my bed next to my husband who holds me for the 2 seconds it takes for me to fall asleep, then rolls me back to my side of the bed when he's finally tired, 20 minutes later. I'm never around my computer. And I'm not going to type this all up on my phone. Sorry friends. So I need a laptop right? Maybe someday. Luckily (?) Brooks is feeling sick and won't let me put him down. So while Maggie is at school, I can't do my dishes, sweep, mop, work out, vacuum, shower, dust, scrub, cook, or sew like I normally would. I'm "stuck" holding a lightly sleeping baby. It's nice.
I've had so many things on my mind lately, things that have happened, or that Maggie has done. Now that I've sat down to write about them….they're gone from my brain. hmm… So, I guess an update. My daughter talks a lot. Almost constantly, if I'm honest. Lately it has been ALL about the alphabet. She loves spelling and telling you what sounds which letters make and what colors or foods or musical instruments start with said letters. Maggie has figured out phonetics. If she's in the mood she can spell almost anything. Which has me wondering: HOW can Hooked On Phonics actually work? We pronounce almost nothing phonetically. Here are some sample words that she's insisted she is spelling correctly: caoo (cow) scroo(screw) jackit(jacket) thu(the) nee(knee) shoo(shoe) Really, why are there so many silent letters in our words? A friend says she just "blames the British." That's fair. Maggie's also suction cupped herself to braille. It's so wonderful! She can tell you the dots of all the letters and most of the numbers. We just have to work on her understanding the feel of the letters and words. She loves it though. Loves her braille class every Friday and loves to "scribble" on the Perkins Brailler we have at home.
So we spend all day talking about letters. It's kind of fun, and also gets old fast. And so I've lucked out that it was recently Easter. Maggie LOVES Easter eggs. (As she says, "I don't WANT real eggs or scrambled eggs. Mommy can have real eggs. Maggie wants TOY eggs." She knows what she likes.) I started with a few eggs in her basket that had some jelly beans and chocolate eggs. After the mess that followed that mistake we've now switched to dry pinto and lima beans. Man, it was a sticky mess. She didn't eat the candy, it just got sticky and nasty from so much handling. This girl can spend literal hours emptying and refilling Easter eggs. So when I'm done talking about letters and being told by a 3 year old that I can't spell correctly, I plop her on the floor with a bag of beans and some eggs. They must be the kind with the two halves attached with the miniscule strip of plastic though. There is no enjoyment in an egg that is in two separate pieces. What strange eccentricities evolve for comfort and continuity of routines.
Oh! Videos! I believe I've talked about this before, but here it is again because it's been such a great success. I love looking through old photos and seeing past activities and friends and such. I wanted to provide that experience for Maggie. We've started taking videos of life for Maggie. Especially of things that we'd take pictures of, that were a special occasion and should be remembered. Now we've got a bunch of memories for Maggie to reexperience. When she hears the sounds the computer makes when starting up she immediately asks to watch videos. I love it. She has her favorites of course. Walking in sand, crashing a cart, talking about her first day of school, jumping in a bouncy castle, riding a pony. I'm so glad to have found a way to help her remember our fun times together.
One last quick note, since I've been working on this post for over a week now, coming back to the keyboard for a few more sentences every time I walk by the computer. I just read THIS post by my friend Kelly. I'd like to piggy back onto her ah-ha moment. I love my life. I am very proud of what I do. I LOVE my children. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I wouldn't trade my insanely messy kitchen, the pinto beans scattered allllllll over my living room floor, the baby sweetly snoring in the bed on my right, or the singing I hear from the next room as Maggie's waking up. (I have to hurry if I'm going to finish before she demands some attention) I love my career choice. And I love that my husband is willing and able to work so hard so that I can be at home with our kids.
PS. If someone did want to come clean my kitchen, that'd be great. I love Maggie helping me cook, but making 3 types of cheesecake yesterday for our scout fundraiser tonight has made a HUGE mess.

Miss Independent
Most recent example: Every time I go anywhere during the day, I now have to get two kids into and out of the car. (BTW I had a baby in December-more on that here) I think to myself, "Man, this would be easier if Maggie was just a little bigger and she could get into her carseat by herself." About two weeks ago, I was struggling with Brooks crying in his seat and Maggie whining about wanting to go home and eat lunch. I opened her door, put her hand on her carseat and told her to climb in. I was done dealing with the whining and I knew that would at least keep her close to the car. I put Brooks in on the other side, then came around the car and Maggie was in the car, trying to get into her seat. She took forever, but she got it!
Why do I doubt her? I think to myself, Well when she's older or bigger or understands better, then she'll be able to do such and such. Truth is, a lot of those things she can do now, if I just let her. As a parent it's really so much faster, cleaner, and usually easier to do things yourself for your children. However, if you do everything for them, they will grow up with a crazy sense of entitlement and be able to accomplish little to nothing on their own. I believe in letting your kids help you cook, clean, rake leaves, take out the trash, carry in groceries from the car. As the oldest child of 6 I always made my younger siblings do things for me; or at least help me. I mean really, part of the reason you have kids is so you don't have to do chores for a while. Am I right? :)
My problem is that I don't always make Maggie do things. It's horrible, but I do have this mind set that she's different. She's special. It'll be too hard for her. She'll make such a mess, I'd much rather just do it myself. I don't want her to hate doing such and such because I tried to make her do it too young, or before she really understands. And deep down, there's the fear that maybe she can't do it. I have these feelings yet I get frustrated with people who do things for her.
Many people treat her like a big (ish) well spoken baby. They want to carry her everywhere and pick her up when she falls. Give her everything she wants and do whatever they can to stop her from crying. I'm glad I've at least moved past that part. I know she's a toddler, perfectly capable of walking, and of communicating what she wants and needs. Just because what she wants is usually not what's happening doesn't mean you should give it to her. She, like everyone else, has to learn that not everything can be the way she wants it to be. She's even pretty good at calming herself when a situation she doesn't like is explained to her.
I get to help people realize that she needs to walk, not be carried, so she can learn the layout of a place and how to get around in it. That when she screams because some other kid is playing with a toy she wants, don't take it from that kid and give it to her. Just tell her to wait her turn. She has to share like everyone else. And that when she falls down, please don't pick her up unless she's screaming and bleeding. Let her pick herself up. I know Maggie's going to fall a lot, and she needs to know how to pick herself up.
Now I get to tell people to let her walk without holding her hand, let her climb into the car by herself, make her be a part of the preschool group and go inside from recess when it's time, even though she doesn't want to. She'll get over it.
I let Maggie figure out how to get into her carseat by herself and now she gets into and out of her high chair, climbs up and down the slide in her room and goes potty by herself. There may be a bit of a mess involved, some spilled juice or toilet paper on the floor, but Maggie insists on doing these things by herself now that she knows how. I have to let her. I have to consciously think, Yea, Maggie can do this. Yes she can help me make cookies, and it'll be a mess, and that's ok because then she can help me clean it up. I need to let her try instead of assuming she won't be able.
I am so proud of Maggie. I'm glad she's so daring and adventurous. It's inspiring. I love her!

Carcieri takes firm stand on changes to spending plan says todays ProJo. He's going to stand tough folks. Also, the Separation of Powers Bill may be finally moving again and the Legislature would like it on the Governor's desk befofe July 4 to sign. Cross your fingers, the moment when Li'l Rhody finally enters the 20th century politically is almost at hand. (Yeah, I know, it's the 21st century now...do you get the point?)
I shouldn't do this, because it's too easy, but Howie Kurtz in his Reliable Source Column today has a blurb about the latest from our very own Patrick Kennedy. To quote Kurtz:
"As sometimes happens with Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), he let his mouth race ahead of his brain Wednesday night at a gathering of Young Democrats at the Washington nightspot Acropolis. After presidential candidate Howard Dean spoke, Kennedy delivered an impassioned peroration against President Bush's tax cut. We hear that Kennedy told the crowd: 'I don't need Bush's tax cut. I have never worked a [bleeping] day in my life.' With that he got the audience's attention -- the dropping-jaws kind. 'He droned on and on, frequently mentioning how much better the candidates would sound the more we drank,' a witness told us. 'Finally, he had to be stopped by a DNC volunteer.' Kennedy's spokesman, Ernesto Anguilla, told us yesterday: 'He was talking to the crowd; it was a rally-the-troops kind of speech about the tax cut. He was energizing the crowd and got caught up in it and used an unfortunate word, which he regrets using. . . . And no one pulled him off the stage.' "
That's our senior Representative folks, proud do not have worked a day in his life. Good thing he's so in touch with the common man, huh?

Title: Def Motion to Compel Production of Wit for Art 13 Motion, 24 Aug 12
Release Date: 2014-03-20
Text: IN THE UNITED STATES ARMYFIRST JUDICIAL CIRCUITUNITED STATES DEFENSE MOTION TOv. COMPEL PRODUCTIONOF WITNESSES FORARTICLE 13 MOTIONMANNING, Bradley E., PFC U.S. Army, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, U.S. Army Garrison, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, DATED: 24 August 2012Fort Myer, VA 2221 RELIEF SOUGHT1. PFC Bradley E. Manning, by and through counsel, pursuant to applicable case law and Rulefor Courts Martial (RCM) 703(b)(l) requests this Court to compel production of the below listedwitnesses .BACKGROUND2. The Defense requests that the Court consider the background facts provided in AppellateExhibit 206 and in the Defense Supplemental Article 13 Motion filed on 24 August 2012.3. The Government provided 84 emails to the Defense on 26 July 2012. After having anopportunity to review these emails, the Defense identi?ed additional witnesses for the Article 13motion. The Defense obtained the latest available contact information for each of the witnesseson either Army Knowledge Online (AKO) or the Joint Enterprise Directory Services (JEDS).However, due to retirements, deployments, or just outdated information on AKO or EDS theDefense was not able to coordinate interviews of some of the witnesses.4. On 14 August 2012, the Government provided the Defense with its witness list for the Article13 motion. The Government listed 17 witnesses that it intended to call for the purposes of themotion.5. On 15 August 2012, the Defense filed its supplemental Article 13 witness list. By that point,the Defense had narrowed its witness list to 14 additional witnesses. Seven of the identi?edwitnesses were also on the Govemment?s witness list. As such, the Defense listed thesewitnesses by name and requested that the Government stipulate to their obvious relevance andnecessity given the fact the Government planned to call them as well.6. For the other seven witnesses not on the Government?s witness list, the Defense provided asynopsis of their expected testimony under RCM The proffer clearlydemonstrated the relevance and necessity for each of the following requested witnesses a) LtGen. George J. b) Col. Christopher Miner;c) Col. (R) Daniel Choike;d) CDR Han Bui;e) Capt. Mary Neill;f) LtCol. Christopher Greer; andg) CPT John Haberland;7. On 22 August 2012, the Government provided its response to the additional requestedwitnesses by the Defense. The Government denied production of LtGen. Col. Miner,Capt. Neill, LtCol. Greer, and CPT Haberland. Additionally, the Government refused tostipulate to the relevance and necessity of its own listed witnesses for the purposes of RCM 703.As such, the Government denied the production of COL Carl Coffman, CWO5 Abel Galaviz,CWO4 James Averhart, CWO2 Denise Barnes, Craig Blenis, Brian Papakie, andWilliam Fuller.ARGUMENTA. The Government is Acting in Bad Faith in Contesting the Relevance and Necessityof Its Own Witnesses8. The Government is once again proceeding in bad faith in contesting the relevance andnecessity of numerous facially relevant witnesses. The Defense has never heard of a scenariowhere the Government has contested the relevance and necessity of its own witnesses. How canit be that a witness is relevant and necessary for the Government, but not equally relevant andnecessary for the Defense? The Government opposes production of these witnesses, apparentlybecause it believes the Defense did not comply with RCM and United States v.Rockwood, 52 M.J. 98 (C.A.A.F. 1999). RCM 703(c)(2) is intended to be administrative innature such that the Government can arrange to actually contact these witnesses and bring themto court. As stated in the Analysis to RCM 703:[T]he trial counsel is responsible for the administrative aspects of production ofwitnesses. Thus, . . . the defense submits its list of witnesses to the trial counsel sothat the latter can arrange for their production. The trial counsel stands in aposition similar to a civilian clerk of court for this purpose. Because most defenserequests for witnesses are uncontested, judicial economy is served by routing thelist directly to the trial counsel, rather than to the military judge first. This alsoallows the trial counsel to consider such alternatives as offering to stipulate ortake a deposition, or recommending to the convening authority that a charge bewithdrawn . . . . Further, it allows arrangements to be made in a more timelymanner, since the trial counsel is usually more readily available than the militaryjudge. Only if there is a genuine dispute as to whether a witness must beproduced is the issue presented to the military judge by way of a motion. Drafters? Analysis, Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (MCM), A21-36 (2008added). Is the Government truly saying that there is a ?genuine dispute? as towhether witnesses that the Government itself plans to call must be produced? As with so manyother issues in this case, the lack of good faith on the part of the Government is troubling.9. The Defense believes that the witnesses on the Govemment?s witness list are relevant andnecessary for painfully obvious reasons:a) CWO4 James Averhart and CWO4 Denise Barnes. Both were the Of?cers in Charge ofthe Brig during the relevant time period. Both (at least in theory) made the custodialclassi?cation determinations pertaining to PFC Manning. Both will testify regardingtheir classi?cation determinations, their disdain for, and questioning of, medical opinions,and their knowledge of LtGen. involvement in the case. Both will testify aboutthe speci?c instances that PFC Manning was placed on Suicide Risk or where his specialhandling instructions were increased.b) COL Carl Coffman. COL Coffman was the Special Court-Martial Convening Authority.He will testify about what he knew about PFC Manning?s con?nement conditions andwhy he did not ask Quantico of?cials to remove PFC Manning from POI. He will alsotestify about whether he knew of LtGen. involvement in the case.c) Craig Blenis, Brian Papakie, and William Fuller. All theseindividuals sat on PFC Manning?s Board and will testify why they maderecommendations to retain PFC Manning in MAX and on POI despite doctors?recommendations to the contrary. All these individuals will testify that they knew aboutLtGen involvement in the case. Papakie will testify about his homophobiccomment about PFC Manning?s ?panties.? Blenis will testify why he made thecomment to the effect of ?We felt like being dicks.? Fuller will testify about theharassment of PFC Manning during recreation call on 18 January 2011.d) CWO5 Abel Galaviz. He will testify about his ?independent? investigation at the behestof Col. Choike. He will also testify that he was involved in PFC Manning?s con?nementsince he arrived at Quantico and was copied on numerous emails prior to being assignedas an ?independent? investigator as part of the Article 138 Complaint.B. The Additional Witnesses Denied By the Government Are Relevant and Necessary10. The Defense is entitled to production of witnesses whose testimony ?would be relevant andnecessary? to a matter in issue. RCM 703 In determining relevance of the witness, a courtmust turn to the Military Rules of Evidence. See, United States v. Breeding, 44 M.J. 345,351 (C.A.A.F. 1996). A witness is necessary when the witness is not cumulative, and when thewitness would contribute to a party?s presentation of the case in some positive way on a matter inissue.? United States v. Credit, 8 M.J. 190, 193 (CMA 1980); see also United States v. Williams,3 MJ. 239 (C.M.A. 1977). l. The Defense requests production of LtGen. George Capt. Mary Neill, LtCol.Christopher Greer, Col. Christopher Miner, and CPT John Haberland.l2. LtGen. George In its original witness request, the Defense stated the relevance andnecessity of LtGen. lynn?s testimony:LtGen. George J. Director for Joint ForceDevelopment, The Joint Staff J-7. LtGen. is the former Commanding General ofMarine Corps Combat Development Command. As the Commanding General, he wasthe senior rater for Col. Daniel Choike, the former Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ)Commander and Col. Robert Oltman, the former MCBQ Security Battalion Commander.LtGen. will testify about requiring the Quantico Brig to report to him, for hisapproval, regarding any change in PFC Manning?s handling instructions or assignmentstatus. LtGen. will testify that prior to any final action taken place with changingPFC Manning"s custody status, he wanted to be able to determine the political impact,media interest, legal rami?cations, and senior leadership reactions. LtGen. willtestify that he received frequent reports, at least once a week, on PFC Manning and hiscustody status. LtGen. will testify that he first made inquiries into PFC Manningwithin a week of his arrival at MCBQ. He will testify that he was concerned about thesuicide risk of PFC Manning. He will testify that the Brig had a suicide on 31 January2010. Based upon the previous suicide he directed Col. Choike and Col. Oltman toimpress ?upon all who come in contact with Pvt. Manning the absolute necessity ofkeeping a close watch on His Manning] life has completely fallen apartwhich makes him a strong candidate (from my perspective) to take his life.? Finally,LtGen. will recount how he became involved in the day to day issues regardingPFC Manning.13. The Government contests the relevance and necessity of LtGen. testimony largelyby attempting to mislead the Court. The Government writes:Col Choike?s and Col Oltman?s proffered testimony makes LtGen testimonycumulative and unnecessary. The Defense has not offered any evidence to support itstheory that LtGen issued any orders regarding the accused?s classi?cation andstatus. For example, the email cited by the Defense is LtGen response to anarticle in the New York Times and simply describes LtGen concern for theaccused?s safety. Additionally, Col Choike, Col Oltman, W04 Averhart, and CWO2Barnes will testify that LtGen was not involved with the day?to-day issuesregarding the accused nor did LtGen give any instructions concerning theaccused?s classification and status. See Government Response to Defense WitnessRequest: Article 13. p. 1.l4. The Defense does not understand the Govemment?s ?cumulative? argument. TheGovernment states that Col. Choike, Col. Oltman, CWO4 Averhart and CWO2 Barnes will alltestify about LtGen. involvement in PFC Manning?s custody status. Id. lt seemsobvious that LtGen. can best speak to LtGen. involvement in the case and theother witnesses will be used to either corroborate or discount this testimony. The Defense?s position is that PFC Manning?s custody status in this case was ultimately determined by LtGen.Everyone below him in the chain of command was putting LtGen. guidance intoeffect. How is it, then, that LtGen. testimony is cumulative?15. Further, the Government?s statement that the Defense ?has not offered any evidence tosupport its theory that LtGen. issued any orders regarding the accused?s classi?cationstatus? is ludicrous. In an email from Col. Choike to Col. Oltman (which was provided to theDefense by the Government), Col. Choike clearly states:You and I supporting/concurring with the Brig decisions that changehandling instructions or assignment status, without passing that info to CG[LtGen. for consideration, is no longer acceptable. We/you arenot going to get anything in writing from CG [LtGen. if herejects/modi?es a recommendation. Memo?s for the record can be discussed morebetween you and I, in an effort to address your concerns about properdocumentation/?le keeping.Summary - #1 - yes adhere to the chain of command, and hopefully youunderstand why that didn?t happen right now. #2 Yes - recommendationsforwarded to me for discussion and concurrence and then recommendationforwarded to CG, [LtGen. before implementation. I will notblindly forward a recommendation to the CG, instead I?ll discuss it with you soyou will know exactly what I forward. #3 Non-concurrence in writing - we needto discuss and determine the best way to document decision/?nal actions for therecord. CG [LtGen. wants to be able to determine political impact, mediainterest, legal rami?cations, and senior leadership reactions, and can?t do sowithout him being in the loop upfront.See Attachment A to Defense Supplemental Article 13 Motion, Bates Number 00449914 through00449915. It is abundantly clear from this one email alone that LtGen. was the one whowas ?calling the shots.? Decisions that ?change handling instructions or assignment status? wereto be made ultimately by LtGen. LtGen. in making these determinations, wantedto be able to ?determine the political impact, media interest, legal rami?cations, and seniorleadership reactions? about anything involving PFC Manning?s con?nement status. Id. In lightof just this one email (not to mention the others that the Government has provided), it is a ?at outfalsehood to say that ?LtGen did not give any instructions concerning the accused?sclassi?cation and status.? The Government also contests that LtGen was involved in day-to-day issues regarding the accused. Apparently, the Government must have missed the email toLtGen. explaining that Defense counsel had called the Brig after hours, or the email whereLtGen. asked whether PFC Manning?s visitors who had been denied entrance to Quanticohad been called a cab. See Attachment A to Defense Supplemental Article 13 Motion, BatesNumber 0044933-36.16. It is obvious why the Government is making this feeble attempt to contest the relevance andnecessity of LtGen. testimony it is rather embarrassing to have to call a three-stargeneral and explain why he was giving guidance to those in his chain of command that he wouldultimately call the shots when it came to PFC Manning. However, in light of these emails, thereis no witness who is more relevant and necessary for production than LtGen. 17. Capt. Mary Neill. Capt. Neill is the former commander of the Naval Health Clinic atMCBQ. She will testify that Col. Choike ordered her to provide him with a weekly update onPFC Manning. She will testify that she complied with this order by providing at least weeklyreports to C01. Choike. Capt. Neill will testify that the Brig would provide her witha weekly report that she would then add to for the bene?t of Col. Choike and LtGen. Within the report, she would discuss the results of the behavioral health visits, therecommendation of the Brig the nature of PFC Manning?s custody status, and PFCManning?s overall affect and mood. She will testify that she was aware of the Brig Capt. William Hocter and COL Robert Malone?s consistent recommendations to remove PFCManning from POI watch. Despite their frequent recommendations, PFC Manning was neverremoved from POI. Capt. Neill will testify that Col. Oltman had come to her to express his lossof trust in the recommendations of Capt. Hocter. She will testify that Col. Oltman blamed Capt.Hocter for failing to identify the individual who committed suicide in January of 2010 as apotential suicide risk. She will testify that she was aware that the Brig had displayed signi?cantconcern and was very anxious about the high level of visibility regarding PFC Manning and theassociated risks. Capt. Neill believed that the Brig staff would bene?t from having some of theirquestions and concerns addressed by her medical staff. She will also testify that she informedCol. Choike and Col. Oltman that it was her opinion that the continuation of P01 was notdetrimental to PFC Manning. Capt. Neill will testify that she was also aware of Capt. Hocter?srepeated requests for the Brig to allow PFC Manning the opportunity to exercise in his cell. Shewill testify that Capt. Hocter had noted a decline in the physical conditioning of PFC Manningdue to his limited opportunities to be out of his cell. She also will testify that she took it uponherself to have a face to face meeting with the Capt. Brian Moore, the former Defense forensicexpert, to inform him that his access to PFC Manning was only through the defensecounsel channels, and that since his appointment to the Defense team, he was no longer part ofbehavioral health provider team for PFC Manning.18. The Government has denied production of Capt. Neill on the following basis:The United States denies production of CAPT Neill. The Defense?s proffered testimonyof CAPT Neill is not relevant and necessary under RCM 703(b)(1). CAPT Neill is adentist and was the commander of the Naval Health Clinic at MCBQ. CAPT Neill?stestimony is irrelevant because she did not provide or medical care to theaccused. CAPT Neill did not proffer an opinion on the accused?s POI status orclassi?cation. During a telephonic interview with the prosecution in response to theDefense Request, CAPT Neill stated that she did not recall Col Oltman blaming CAPTHocter for failing to identify the individual who committed suicide in January 2010 as asuicide risk. Col Oltman will be a witness and can testify about his own thoughtsregarding CAPT Hocter?s recommendations, thereby making CAPT Nei1l?s testimonycumulative and unnecessary. CAPT Neill stated that she suggested the parties gather todiscuss the process of determining the accused?s status and classi?cation, but she did notoffer opinions regarding the actual decisions of what the accused?s status andclassi?cation should have been. See Government Response to Defense Witness Request:Article 13, p. 1-2.19. It is not true that Capt. Neill did not ?proffer an opinion on the accused?s POI status.? Capt.Neill was tasked with taking information from Capt. Hoctor and Col. Malone and passing it upthe food chain to Col. Oltman (where ultimately it was passed onto Col. Choike and LtGen.The fact that Capt. Neill was a dentist raises questions as to why she was entrusted to bethe ?broken telephone? conduit. It is indeed strange that opinions are ?ltered througha dentist up the chain of command. In one instance, on 2 February 201 1, after Capt. Neillforwarded Col. Malone?s recommendation to remove PFC Manning to Col. Oltman, Col. Oltmanwrites, ?The Dr. Recommends removal from POI but stats [sic] that the risks and bene?ts ofcontinued POI are not detrimental or at least that?s how I read what he wrote.? SeeAttachment A to Defense Supplemental Article 13 Motion, Bates Number 00449840. Then CaptNeill weighs in, ?Concur that review states that remaining in continuation of P01 is NOTdetrimental to detainee.? Id. Why is Capt. Neill, a dentist, weighing in on how she interprets thedoctor?s recommendation? Why is Capt. Neill, a dentist, tasked with the role of keeping Col.Oltman in the loop?20. LtCol. Christopher Greer. LtCol. Greer will testify that he was present for the meetingwhere Col. Oltman stated that PFC Manning would remain in his current status MaximumCustody and P01 unless and until he received instructions from higher authority to the contrary.LtCol. Greer will testify that he did not attempt to intervene or correct Col. Olman when he toldCapt. Hocter something to the effect of will not have anything happen to Manning on mywatch. So, nothing is going to change in his custody status. He won?t be able to hurt himselfand he won?t be able to get away, and our way of making sure of that is that is he will remain onMaximum Custody and P01 indefinitely.? LtCol. Greer will testify that Capt. Hocter becameupset and expressed his concern about holding PFC Manning in POI when there was nobehavioral health justi?cation for such a status. He will testify that Capt. Hocter did not supportthe P01 status, but was told that his recommendation was just a part of the overall classi?cationassessment. He will testify that Col. Oltman told Capt. Hocter that he should just make hisrecommendations and that they (the con?nement facility) would do what they wanted to do.LtCol. Greer will also testify that he provided regular updates to C01. Choike, Col. Oltman, andLtGen. SJA (Col. Christopher Miner) about PFC Manning. Finally, LtCol. Greer willtestify that he was aware of a request by the Defense to the Convening Authority, COL Coffman,to remove PFC Manning from POI. He will testify that he informed Col. Choike and Col.Oltman to ?stand by for heavy rolls if the CA decides to request the Base commander to reviewand consider removing Manning?s POI status.? He will also testify that he informed the Armythat ?unless you want to run our Brig, I think you undercut your own legal position if youactually recommend that the P01 status be removed. We are the jailors, either you trust us oryou don?t. If you don?t, then move him.? LtCol. Greer also will testify that he informed theprosecution that ?we (the marines) have the day to day responsibility for Manning and if they(the Army) are unhappy with Manr1ir1g(?s) current status, then someone in the Army needs totake custody of him or relive (sic) us of the responsibility of his welfare.? He will further testifythat he ?reiterated our concern (the marines) that if something goes wrong, there is not a singleArmy person that would be held responsible or found to be accountable as long as he stays withus.? LtCol. Greer will testify that he was included on emails where LtCol. Troy Wright, theHead of Law Enforcement and Corrections Branch for Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, stated7 ?to take measures that are consistent with suicide watch, but not of?cially place that person in asuicide watch status is inconsistent with the way we are supposed to do business.?21. The Government resists producing LtCol. Greer on the following basis:The Defense has not presented any evidence demonstrating that LtCol Greer possesses aunique perspective. The Defense proffers testimony from both Col Oltman and CAPTHocter that they will testify about their own statements and what other statements eachheard during meetings; therefore, LtCol Greer?s testimony is cumulative andunnecessary. LtCol Greer?s testimony is also irrelevant because LtCol Greer did notmake any determinations regarding the accused?s classi?cation and status during theaccused?s con?nement. See Government Response to Defense Witness Request: Article13, p. 2.22. The test is not whether LtCol. Greer possesses a ?unique perspective? the test is whetherhis testimony would contribute to the Defense?s presentation of the case in some positive way ona matter in issue.? United States v. Credit, 8 M.J. 190, 193 (CMA 1980); see also United Statesv. Williams, 3 MJ. 239 (C.M.A. 1977). The Defense submits that LtCol. Greer will corroborateDr. Hocter?s recollection that he very clearly and emphatically stated that PFC Manning shouldnot be on POI from a perspective. He will also testify that he relayed the contents ofthis meeting to trial counsel (presumably MAJ Fein), such that MAJ Fein was also aware thatPOI was not recommended from a perspective and was on notice of Article 13 issues.LtCol. Greer will also testify that he wrote an email recommending that the Army not make afuss about these issues lest is be ?prepared for heavy rolls.? See Attachment A to DefenseSupplemental Article 13 Motion, Bates Number 0044993 8-9. LtCol. Greer will also testify thathe knew about LtGen. involvement from Day 1 in PFC Manning?s case.23. Col. Christopher Miner. He will testify that he was the SJA for LtGen. He willtestify that he received regular briefs from LtCol. Greer, Col. Oltman, and Col. Choike regardingPFC Manning. Based upon the briefs he received from others, Col. Miner would provide adviceto LtGen. regarding PFC Manning. Col. Miner was included upon emails where Col.Oltman informed the command that the Brig OIC, CWO4 Averhart, was holding PFC Manningon Suicide Risk (SR) after the mental health professionals had recommended his status bechanged from SR to Prevention of Injury (POI). Col. Miner will testify that he was aware of thelevel of involvement by LtGen. in the custody status of PFC Manning.24. The Government resists producing Col. Miner because it believes his testimony iscumulative and unnecessary and that others will testify regarding the involvement of LtGen.See Government Response to Defense Witness Request: Article 13, p. 2. Col. Miner isneither cumulative nor unnecessary. He is clearly involved in the discussions concerning PFCManning?s custody status and the guidance provided by LtGen. to his subordinates. Assuch, Col. Miner is a relevant and necessary witness.25. CPT John Haberland. He will testify that he acted as the conduit between the Army andMarines regarding the confinement of PFC Manning. Specifically, he will testify that hecollected information in order to address a possible Article 13 motion by the Defense, andcoordinated responses to the Defense regarding the con?nement restrictions imposed upon PFCManning. CPT Haberland will testify about how the Army knew of the manner in which PFCManning was being held at the multiple complaints by PFC Manning?s civilian counselregarding the custody conditions; PFC Manning?s multiple Article 138 complaints; and PFCManning RCM 305(g) request to COL Coffman to either remove him from pretrial con?nementor direct his removal from P01.26. The Government resists producing CPT Haberland on the basis that Haberland was amember of the prosecution team during the accused?s con?nement at the Brig at MCBQ. CPTHaberland?s comments and writing are work product.? See Government Response to DefenseWitness Request: Article 13, p. 2. The Government has provided the Defense with emailswritten by CPT Haberland. Thus, to the extent that privilege exists, it has been waived withrespect to these emails. Moreover, the Defense will not be inquiring into attorney work product.Instead, the Defense will inquire about the extent of the Army?s knowledge of PFC Manning?scon?nement conditions.Respectfully submitted,DAVID EDWARD COOMBSCivilian Defense Counsel

Here's how life goes:
Get good grades, get into a good school, pick a good major, get good grades again, get an offer, bust our butts, buy a car, find someone suitable, marry them, buy a home together, have a baby or two, keep busting our butts, get promoted, take a vacation or two, get promoted again, buy a nicer car, maybe a bigger home, put the babies through college, make the final mortgage payment, retire.
And at each step along the way, we're promised that the next one will be better. Having a job is better than being in school, getting promoted to the next job will be better than the one we have, retirement will be better than any of the jobs. Marriage is better than dating, having kids is better than being DINK's.
But too many people, in the wake of everything going on around us both sociologically and economically, are now pausing, looking around, and realizing: we're not happy. And with that realization comes the question: why not?
Because we never took the time to evaluate what would make us happy. Too many of us fret over what we "should" be doing – I should buy a home, I should get married before 30 – and not enough time evaluating who we are, fundamentally. You want to know why your cubicle job and your hour-long commute bums you out? Because none of us were meant for that, psychologically. The only reason it's the norm is because not enough of us have rejected it. And that home with the white picket fence in the suburbs? Truth be told, our psyches weren't really meant for that either.
Human beings are intensely social creatures, and base much of our understanding of the world and ourselves from interactions with others – even reading is a social interaction, given that another human being put pen to paper for you. When we tuck ourselves away in our cubicles and our houses like we're expected to, we deny ourselves the full richness of that basic need. And yet we all continue to play along, because we assume that it's the only way to go about it.
What if we stopped playing? What if we evaluated ourselves as individuals – with unique philosophies and preferences and metrics for happiness – rather than regard ourselves as one of millions. We, as individuals, are not a dime a dozen, and would benefit immensely from not rendering ourselves that status by striving so hard to be a part of "the norm."
What if we evaluated whether it would make us happier to a.) live in a 2,000 sq. ft. home or b.) travel internationally every year? (For some of us, the answer is genuinely the former, and that's okay.) What if we evaluated whether raising children would really make us happier – or even whether we want to dedicate the full time it takes to do it well? What if we asked ourselves if we're buying the nice car or designer bag for ourselves or for some other reason?
And what if we got disenchanted with those things that simply don't jive with what makes us happy? What if we instead spent our short lives pursuing things that do?

Animator Editor Video
This time the video is about the Animator Editor. Like the last one this video tries to give an insight in how things are done and how the editor works. The video will be up first again on YouTube and in lower quality on ModDB (I have the feeling this video bug will not be fixed until I'm done with all editor videos U_U... and ModDB went totally silent about the matter). So here is the video.
As always feedback welcome and will be gladly taken into account for the first release.
Daily Grinding
The last time had been especially marked by a huge driver bug introduced by ATI in the 14.x branch which broke a lot of important things. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell they broke to somehow code around it but I lost already many days to this situation. Hopefully I'm getting somewhere the next week.
Nevertheless I could get some coding in before driver-bug hell broke loose. The lost Navigation Space Export Script for Blender is now coded back in with improved handling in the user interface. Various scripts shared between the game project and the ZPOC test case have been modified and moved into the scripting module. This way you can start a new project with a premade set of scripts to get started quickly. Rendering of mirrors has been improved as you can see in the image posted. The speed still needs work but it works now more reliably. This part has been unfortunately affected by the driver-bug besides others. Modified also the ambient occlusion texture mip-mapping. It uses now a max-filter instead of the default box-filter. This should improve AO on distance textures where averaged mip-maps just are not that realistic.
Next up is fighting with the driver bug and trying to get things back into working order. These kinds of things really suck. But it's not ATI alone that messes up like this. nVidia is a lot worse and more prone to breaking. But if ATI does break something it really does break it. Let's see how it goes. I'll make another editor video once the problem is solved.

I was walking down the school's corridor when I saw a pupil hiding behind a column with his hands aiming an imaginary rifle at the school's office. Of course, I did not mind it since children love role playing; he may just be play acting since it was still minutes before the start of the class. So, I went to my room, one of the multimedia rooms, and saw my co-teachers eating breakfast there. There was nothing wrong with it since the classes had not begun yet. So, I joined in.
We were eating and drinking coffee and choco when I told them that the boss, the principal, could be doing her rounds now. One of the teachers told me not to worry because she put sentinels outside—two in fact, the teacher told me. "We have guardia civils," I laughed. A few seconds later, a pupil peeped by the door and told us, "She's coming!"
We scampered for our lives.
Then it came to me…why the little boy was aiming his imaginary rifle at the office.
It's the priests and the bishops this time.
There's a joke on the TV about new SUV models: Mitsubishop Montero and the Nissan Sapari.
The issue being discussed in the senate hall now is the allegedly (naahhh…why use allegedly when it is a reality!) The issue being discussed in the senate now is the misuse of the Philippines Charity Sweepstakes Office funds. It was learned, from the audits, that the funds that were supposed to be used to help the poor for their medical and other needs went elsewhere. Some to the misused of funds mentioned were the prioritization of the distribution of Ambulances to the past administration's allies, the anomalous appropriation and release of intelligence funds for PCSO which was bigger than the armed forces intelligence fund, and the most shocking of them all, the giving of luxury vehicles to the priests and bishops of the Catholic Church.
According to the news Butuan Bishop Juan De Dios Pueblos asked a GMA for a Mitsubishi Montero as a birth day gift. The vehicle was to be used for spiritual and social services. From the surface, it may seemed there's nothing wrong with giving a luxury vehicle to a "man of God" for his ministry but the money used to buy this vehicle came from gambling which the Catholic Church vehemently opposed. I supposed the bishop could hide behind the doctrine of double effect--doing evil to achieve good.
"We're only supposed to donate ambulances," PCSO's current boss Juico said.
Retired Lingayen Bishop, who I think is the only clean bishop left in the CBCP, said it very well, "it's shameful."
What is most shameful is that according to the news, these SUV bishops and priests are the Aquino government's staunchest oppositionist within the Catholic Church.
For the love of money (luxuy vehicle) is the root of all evils. St. Paul

To turn this into a crypto technique, the researchers created a game into which they planted patterns – what the paper refers to as Serial Interception Sequence Learning. The game itself is simple: you use keystrokes to intercept falling blobs before they reach a sink at the bottom of the screen (see image).\r\n\r\nHowever, unlike a "real" game – in which the column in which the blobs appear would be randomized – the researchers embedded a pattern into the game which represented passwords, but couldn't be memorized.

Hacktivist group TeaMp0isoN has hacked into the website of the United Nations Development Programme, making off with hundreds of email addresses, usernames and plain-text passwords that were later dumped onto Pastebin.

So I was recently realizing that I need to improve my devotional life and work on applying the Bible to my actual life. Reading the Bible is great and all, but not as much if it does not show in your life. So here are some of the things I did to improve my devotional life and apply the Bible to my life:
1. Keep A Bible Journal- Jot down what comes to your mind as you read, whatever the Bible inspires you to write. It really helps your get more out of what you are reading and this is the first step of improving your devotional life and learning to apply what your learn to your life. At the top of the page write whatever chapters you are reading, this will help you reference whatever you write on the passage.
2. After you are done with Bible reading for that sitting skim over what you wrote, what can be learned from it?
3. For each thing that can be learned sum it up in 1-3 words and write it down.
4. Think of a practical way that you can apply it to your life, not something vague like "make an effort" but something more specific. For example lets say your want to improve your prayer life. Don't put down something vague like "Pray more often" or "Have longer prayers". Instead put something a bit more specific such as "Keep a prayer journal", or "Ask at least one person per day if they have any prayer requests". It is important to be specific otherwise it is very easy to forget.
5. At the end of the day write down how you did for each "project". Rate how well you think you did on a scale from 1-10, write down what you learned. Oh, but be careful not to do to many "projects" at once; otherwise you will have way to many projects on your plate at once!
I hope that helps! Lets me know if there is anything else you would like me to write about! :D
