Cerf: Streaming network crunch could be eliminated
While Internet carriers may fret about Netflix, Hulu and other streaming media services saturating their bandwidth, Internet forefather Vint Cerf has a simple answer for this potential problem: Increase bandwidth exponentially.
With sufficient bandwidth, streaming video services of prerecorded content wouldn't be necessary, explained Cerf, who is now a technology evangelist at Google. With sufficient throughput, the entire file of a movie or television show could be downloaded in a fraction of the time that it would take to stream the content.
Cerf, speaking at Juniper Network's Nextwork conference, held Wednesday in New York, spoke about the company's decision to outfit Kansas City with fiber-optic connections that the company claims will be 100 times faster than broadband services commercially available.
The purpose of the project was "to demonstrate what happens when you have gigabit speeds available," Cerf said. "Some pretty dramatic applications are possible."
Interviewed by veteran computer reporter Steven Levy, Cerf explained what could be done with all this bandwidth. One obvious application is greater access to high-definition video, he explained.
"When you are watching video today, streaming is a very common practice. At gigabit speeds, a video file [can be transferred] faster than you can watch it," he said. "So rather than [receiving] the bits out in a synchronous way, instead you could download the hour's worth of video in 15 seconds and watch it at your leisure."
"It actually puts less stress on the network to have the higher speed of operation," he said.
Beyond this use, Cerf mentioned no other possible uses of gigabit-rate home broadband, but stressed that people will "find new ways of using capacity that you never thought of."
Google's demonstration may be one that Internet carriers will watch closely. In October, broadband network services provider Sandvine reported that in the United States, streaming Netflix content accounted for more than 20% of all downstream traffic during the evening hours. As a result, Internet service providers have grown nervous about the possibility of streaming services such as Netflix consuming all their available bandwidth.
Cerf, who helped design the Internet's base TCP/IP protocols, also addressed a number of other issues, such as Google's stance on network neutrality and his work on the Interplanetary Internet.
Last year, Google and Verizon introduced a proposal for establishing rules in the United States for maintaining an open Internet. The pitch for open access, however, was widely criticized for excluding mobile access.
Cerf explained that the reason the two companies did not define rules for mobile access was that they could not agree on what rules should be in place for wireless.

Taking A Look At: Coat Polish
Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on 3 nail polish shades from Coat Polish. The brands boasts a collection of over 70 different nail polish shades coming in different finishes such as glitters, metallics and cremes in every colour under the sun, so you're bound to find one you love!
Coat Polish is a Sydney based, Australian owned, 5-free Nail Polish. We are passionate about on-trend color & creative jaw-dropping nail-art.
We make nail polish without five of the nastiest ingredients linked to toxicity. Free of formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde resin & camphor.
Although many of you would know me as a nude polish lover, when it comes to the colder months, I do love to go for something more Winter appropriate, such as a nice deep red or darker shades.
From the Coat Polish collection, Lust is a gorgeous red shade that really is perfect for Winter as its a deep red shade without being too dark so you can still really appreciate its colour. It's a lovely classic shade. Cinnamon is the brand's best selling shade – a stunning balanced nude that is appropriate for everyday and the perfect base for any nail art. Disturbia is a chic, dark slate grey which usually wouldn't be a colour I'd pick up in store but on the nail, it has a great balance between a dark grey and blue.
The formula of these shades are really impressive! With each of the shades, 2 coats is all you really need for a lovely even and opaque finish and you could even get away with just one coat of Lust which will produce a nice finish but of a much lighter red shade. Of course you could also go in for a third coat to deepen up the shades if you wish.
The formula has an amazing glossy finish to it so if you're not one for top coats, then this is a great pick for you and the formula didn't take very long to dry at all which is another bonus. Longevity wise, I found these polishes to last on my nails for a good week and a half before any noticeable chips really developed (but do keep in mind that I am quite light on my hands as I've spend the past few weeks only studying for exams!).
Coat Polish nail polish shades retails for $14.95 and can be purchased online from the Coat Polish website as well as The Parlour Room Clovelly and other in-store stockists.
What do you look for in a nail polish formula?

I got a new Android phone yesterday which required a Google account which became my "default" without my choice and therefore I could not get in to post on my own blog yesterday. Sounds like a bad country song. Today I was told how to get around this so I'm back!
This morning I was PISSED!! I did my running and felt pretty good but still had a little weakness and deficit in my groin. I'm out of town Monday/Tuesday so I figured if I don't jump until next Saturday then that will be four total weeks since Texas vs. Louisiana when I flared my groin again. Makes perfect sense, right? Yep! NO!!
After all of my running and drills, I grabbed a tiny pole and took a few little jumps with no issue. Grabbed a little bigger one, the one I normally start on, and it was OK but a little stiff because I wasn't trying to run hard. Moved back to six steps did one take off and felt my groin AGAIN!! I don't know if I'm hurt again or not but I'm pissed that this could happen after three weeks of great rehab. The truth is I won't know until I go out next Saturday and try again. If it is hurt I will know right away. If it's not, I will be careful and know I have dodged a bullet.
All of my "groin self tests" for pain show negative but I'm still hurting when I make certain moves. So what do I do now. I BEAT THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I friend once told me that if it's important you do it every day and if you have a weak spot you go after it every day. I will go run 10 X 50m hill/sleds tomorrow. If I can only make 1% effort then next time I will hope for 2%, but NO MORE DAMN REST!!!!!!!!!!! There is nothing more worthless or frustrating when you are hurt than rest. Work that thing until it's better, no matter what the level needs to be. I will also run Wednesday when I get back, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday until I am SO SICK of it, and then I will continue to do it. I WILL get better AND be stronger when I return. I don't care if I don't vault until Reno, I will be in tip top shape and ready to jump high. I'm finished coddling my lazy ass!!
Speaking of Reno, I've been waiting to get my plane ticket because I didn't know if I was flying out of Houston or Southern California. The problem was either place was like $328 or $342 so I kept watching. I know that rates have been lower on Thursdays so I decided to take a look out of Orange County/John Wayne airport (as close to my new house as IAH) - $118 and I snatched that mutha up in a second.
Momentum is changing. I've been knocked down and now I getting back up and I'm pissed at my weak ass self. This torture will be a defiant blast. Have a great night and thanks for being here. Bubba

"Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders."
When was the last time you had a moment like the one above…where all you could do was cry out in awe about the mysteries and glory of God? When was the last time you read something in the Word and thought… Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it (Ps 139:6) or just had to stop like Paul did in Romans and say "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways (Ro 11:33)!" I confess I don't have near enough moments like that. Which begs the question…Why?
Why is my time with the Lord not typified by moments like that?
The only answer I can come up with is Pride.
If I am really honest, I have to admit that I don't always treat the word or my time in prayer with the significance it deserves. I don't always exhibit my complete dependence on God and His word…I don't always value it as the very bread of life. I don't always go into that time aware and acknowledging that The Mediator makes it possible…and what He had to suffer to do it. In doing so, I arrogantly approach God…on my terms…seemingly on my own merit.
"How can anyone be arrogant when he stands beside the cross?" - Carl Henry
Lord help me to be ever mindful of the cross and the impact it has had on my life…the bridge it has created for me to get to you…a bridge paved with the suffering and blood of the only good, righteous and worthy One. Thank you for Jesus…thank you for the mediator you have provided…thank you for the reconciliation you purchased for me through Him. Help me to be in awe that I am allowed to be in your word, to speak your name, to lay my burdens at your feet and hear your voice. May I be ever mindful of the cross and continually humbled before you.

September 27 – October 7, 2007
That's the translation for the Algonquin Indian word Chesapeake. This is the 4th time we have been through the Bay with FLUKE, but it will be the first time we have spent quality time getting to do some sightseeing. Great weather has put us ahead of schedule by 6 days before the start of our Krogen rendezvous!
Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the U.S.: 195 miles long, 3.4 – 35 miles wide, and 21- 174' deep. A lot of cruisers spend multiple summers here exploring inland creeks, visiting historic towns to learn about early American government and maritime history, or just recreating on the wide open waters of the wildlife rich Bay.
They compete for channel space with all types of commercial vessels, some daily working boats that ply the Bay waters for fish, crabs, oysters or clams. Others are gigantic ocean going freighters or tankers that are transporting grains, automobiles, or petroleum products to large ports such as Baltimore or industrial ports at points north accessed via the C & D Canal. We can't forget the Naval military vessels of all kinds that utilize the southern end of the Bay from the Atlantic Ocean to the huge Naval facility at Norfolk.
We decide the logical places to visit would be south of where we exited the Elk River after going through the C & D Canal and closer to Solomons, MD where our rendezvous was to be held. Wayne had recently read about an anchorage called Langford Creek which had been given favorable reviews and was located on Maryland's eastern shore near some small towns that sounded appealing, so we decided to try that first.
Actually getting to Langford Creek involved going about 16 miles off of the Bay up the Chester River. The scenic, winding passage goes through a lot of farmlands and wooded areas. Apparently duck hunting is a popular sport since there was a duck blind on every point of land. By the time we finally managed to get securely anchored we were near an old farmhouse with a huge silo and recently plowed under corn fields. The area was so quiet and peaceful.
Rocking at Rock Hall, MD
Further investigation revealed that we could pick up a trolley service ride to Rock Hall from the parking lot of the Lankford Creek Marina, an easy dinghy ride from where we were anchored. The clean marina is a full service facility with lots of dock space, haul out service, pool, ship's store, and friendly staff kind enough to allow us to leave our dinghy there the whole day we went into town for Rock Hall's annual Fall Fest. Our trip to town got off to a shaky start when our ride to town showed up driving a Ford Explorer instead of the trolley, thinking she was picking up 4 adults, when actually there were 7 adults. She offered to make 2 trips, but we toughed it out, putting 3 people, including Eddie, in the back with the gas cans!
Rock Hall, at the very end of MD Route 20 by land, was originally a tobacco port-of-call. As commerce changed the land crop was changed to bay bounties such as crabs, oysters, and fish. Hunting for those treasures from the sea still occurs today with both commercial and recreational fisherman calling Rock Hall their home port.
The town remains small and laid back. The picturesque main street has vintage buildings, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants all centered around their Bay cultural heritage. For the Fall Fest, the quiet nature of the town was left behind for a day, replaced with live music, food (we had crab dawgs and clam strips for lunch) and art vendors, and educational exhibits depicting historical events and Bay wildlife viewing opportunities. Our favorite musical act was a couple of men imitating the Blues Brothers. It was so small town funny with lots of audience participation.
The main town dock had an original Bay Skipjack boat, now currently used for educational purposes. These traditional, wooden, oyster drag boats gained fame for coming up with a novel idea on how to get around the law which was passed saying that only sailing vessels could drag for oysters. They are a large, open decked sailing vessel with a large hold compartment down below. Sturdy enough to carry heavy drag gear, they also carry a small, motorized push boat off the stern which actually pushes them along during the dragging process. We heard that there are about a dozen Skipjacks still in operation today. In the heyday of plentiful oyster harvesting they could stay out on the Bay for long periods of time, sailing from bed to bed. Bay Buy boats (one on display in the water at the dock was vintage 1920s) would pull up alongside and buy oysters to resell on shore.
Other displays showed antique tools that were used for hand harvesting oysters, clams,and crabs. Unfortunately we missed the crab picking contest-I always wondered how the pros picked those crabs!
Maryland, Not England!
To put ourselves even closer to Solomons we decided our next stop would be Oxford, MD, located almost right across the Bay from Solomons, 30 miles away. That would mean we could just spend a morning getting to the rendezvous marina.
To get to Oxford we decided to take a "shortcut" called the Kent Narrows. It is just a tiny strip of water with a fast current and a 65' wide drawbridge for a multi lane overhead highway connecting the Chester River to the Eastern and Prospect Bays. Since the area is prone to shoaling it is dredged regularly and navigational markers are moved as needed, or so boaters hope. One dredged part of the channel is 8' deep and 60' wide, so it is a tight passage for us, especially if it is windy. Since we have entered into a "bolder" stage of our cruising life we decided to give it a try this first day of October. All the markers were accurate so we passed through with little strife.
Since conditions were mild we decided to anchor almost at the intersection of the Tred Avon River and Plaindealing Creek. We found good holding, and it would be an easy dinghy ride across the Tred Avon to get into Oxford. An added bonus for me was getting to see a commercial crabber right up close one morning. As a single boat operator he was using a method whereby he placed a long line baited (commercial crabbers use eels) at 3-4 yd intervals. The line sinks to the bottom. He retrieves the line and hooks it to an arm with a little wheel hanging over the side of the boat. Slowly driving the boat forward the line is drawn up. As the crabs become visible the crabber scoops them from the piece of bait they are holding on to and dumps them into a basket. I would like to try that, but not every day or in rainy, cold, or windy weather!
Oxford was founded in 1683 as a port of entry for the Maryland province, making it an important center for international shipping up until the time of the American Revolution. Today the town is on the National Registry of Historic Places, with minimal commercialism. The narrow tree-lined streets are bordered with well preserved private homes. There is even one home, the Grapevine House, that has a grapevine from the Isle of Jersey planted in 1810. The tallest structure in town is the decorative water tower.
It is nice to spend some time walking along the streets admiring the beautiful homes, looking out over the water and docks at the commercial fishing boats plying their trades, taking your pick of several waterside restaurants, and peeking in at all the work in progress in the active boatyards in town. A trip to the Cutts & Case yard is a must. They specialize in classic wood boat restoration and have 2 huge covered boat sheds filled with boats. It is like a museum, and they openly welcome you to walk through the facility and even take your dog! There is a real museum in town, aptly named Oxford Museum, but it was closed the day we visited.
We bought really yummy deli sandwiches from the Oxford Deli & Market and took them over to the park for a picnic lunch. We were impressed with townspeople who stopped to talk to us in two different places, asking if we had any questions and where we were from. The town has a reputation for welcoming boaters, and it is evident in the atmosphere where ever you walk.
You can't leave Oxford without a leisurely stroll along the main waterfront street known as The Strand. The historic Oxford Bellevue Ferry landing is on one end. The ferry Talbot can carry 9 cars, some motorcycles and bikes and walkers. That operation really adds such a home town flair.
The Robert Morris Inn (1710), now famous for its crabcakes, even sent out nationwide, was originally the home of RM Sr. and Jr. Jr., being a pal of George Washington, helped finance the Revolutionary War. George rewarded him by letting him sign the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and U.S. Constitution.
We had a great day in town such that when we got back to the dock where we had left the dinghy we were only mildly irritated to find that the tide had gone out and left FIN with more mud than water underneath. The crew exchanged some loud, bad sailor words with each other trying to place blame (that is often the first priority on this ship) and then proceeded to try to solve the problem. I wanted to document the event with a photograph, but my crew members didn't like the idea. Fortunately I was far enough away where neither one of them could grab the camera. They have this crazy idea that I shouldn't be telling our readers about our "mistakes". That's silly because if anyone was keeping score we would be big winners by far, so when I can sneak in some boating "dirt" I will. I bet it makes you laugh anyway, right?
The Big Event
October 3 – 6, 2007
The official starting date of the Krogen Cruisers/Kadey-Krogen Yachts 30th Anniversary rendezvous was October 4. However, on October 3 we got a call from our friend, Ted, on our sistership, Seaclusion, telling us if we wanted to be sure to get the power hook up we needed to get to the dock ASAP. Apparently Krogen owners were very anxious to get together with others of their kind and the majority of the boats were already at Calvert Marina's dock.
Since this was our first "big" rendezvous we were really curious how these big boats were all going to be packed into such a small space. For these events the boats do not side tie to the dock. Two opposing docks are used, stern tying each boat to the dock and then to the boats on either side. Line handlers (volunteer Krogen owners) pull the boats into their place by using long lines strung from both the bow and stern of the boat to docks on either side. They did such a great job packing all the boats in, and it sure was interesting just to watch how they did it. It is a great way to meet the other Krogen owners who are packed in tightly all around.
After FLUKE was safely tied to, we plugged in our power cable. We felt like we had just returned from a Lewis & Clarke type expedition as it was the first time since we left Florida in June that we had plugged into shoreside electrical service. Plus, we could use all the water we wanted since we also had dockside water hookup. Ahh, to have a really long hot shower was a treat for all. Even doing the 4 loads of laundry was a relief. I usually let the laundry pile up until I know we will have access to water since it takes about 20 gals to do a large load, and I can't justify using that much water when the supply is limited.
When we checked in at the registration table we were given the complete agenda of activities so we could plan what events and presentations we wanted to go to. We still had a great surprise when, as we were sitting down to our first dinner on board at the dock, our friends, Janet and Bruce Smith (No Call), peeked in the cockpit door. We had spent time with them in the Bahamas this past Spring, and they had said they wouldn't be able to attend the rendezvous. Turns out, Kadey-Krogen asked them to do all the photographic and videographic work for the event and flew them in. The fruits of their labors will be a DVD, a copy gifted to all attendees from Kadey-Krogen. I'm sure it will be a treasured keepsake based on seeing other works created by Janet and Bruce.
For the opening night dinner, 225 people were seated. There were 70 boats registered, representing 7 different Krogen models. Some owners, or wannabes, had flown or driven to the site. Our friends who own another sistership, Reclaim, flew in from their home in Colorado. We had the opportunity to meet the new owners of the first Whaleback, Adagio, we ever looked at (it was love at first sight!). It was fun talking to them about their boat; they are Canadians and cruise up in Georgian Bay. Sounds like a place we would enjoy.
We listened to speaker presentations about several boating topics. One of our favorites was a detailed slide show about the history of Krogen yachts and the building of a Krogen 44 over at the Asia Harbor factory in Taiwan. The attention to detail and craftsmanship during construction is why the yachts turn out so beautifully in the end. Every person who steps aboard FLUKE always remarks about the beauty of the wood and quality of the joinery. Now we know how it's done.
We had a 2 day flea market and book swap tent. Cruisers could sell boat items that they no longer needed or just give things away that might be useful to someone else. We've been reading a lot this summer, so we had a lot of books to put out, and we were able to pick up even a greater number in return.
Unique to this rendezvous was a dog parade. Dogs are such popular cruising companions, and the Krogen group certainly has its fair share of canines; 2 dozen dogs joined in for the evening dock stroll wearing their finest cruising attire. Funny costumes such as a chili suit for a long, low dog and a lady bug for a little tiny squirmy Yorkie made people laugh. Ursa looked chic in her famous sunglasses.
Two of the most favorite events at each rendezvous are the gadget presentations and the famous Krogen Krawl. The gadget presentation is a group event that lets cruisers show anything they found to be useful for life and travel on a boat: hardware, tools, galley ware, pet supplies, safety aids, and items for fun and entertainment. The Krawl is basically an open boat time whereby cruisers allow other cruisers to tour their boats to see any kind of work that has been done or just to show off a new decorating scheme. Both events are such a great way to learn.
No one can talk about a rendezvous without commenting about the food. Opening night was a couple of hours of appetizers followed by a chicken BBQ with member potluck dishes. The second night had delicious Caribbean themed food. Open bars, sumptuous desserts, and lots of door prizes made for some real happy Krogenites.
We were happy to have been able to attend and get some faces attached to the names of cruisers who regularly share information in the newsletters and email list serve. It wasn't sad to leave: we were eating too much food, we had more places to go, and we needed to rest from a 3 day whirlwind. Getting away from the dock went smoothly as everyone cooperatively took their time easing the big boats apart.
Stay tuned for the next chapter when we share our adventures about "Looking for George".

Hey Guys!ReplyDelete
Just got the time to catch up on the next two articles...
My favorite part was the "boating dirt" and the line: 'The crew exchanged some loud, bad sailor words' - definitely a fitting prequel to the 'Men at Work' shot!
I had a wonderful time 'cruising' tonight - Thanks Carol!!

Powering up for the Prayer
Gratton is only four, but he says the cutest prayers! Tonight we had pancakes for dinner, and he said the prayer. Before folding his arms, he did some silly thing with his hands to "power up" for the prayer. Then he said the best prayer. He said thanks for making his family real so we don't have to be lonely, and making the world, and making the cat real, and for Video Games to take breaks with, and TV's and food, and our house, and all the other things he loves. It was adorable! He says "I have thousands of prayers".

Yoshio Hayasaki, Akira Sato
We demonstrated, for the first time, three-dimensional (3D) motion detection of a gold nanoparticle held in optical tweezers in water using holographic microscopy. Motion detection was performed with an in-line, low-coherence digital holographic microscope. The nanoparticle diameter was 60 nm, which is the smallest reported particle whose 3D motion can be measured. The motion of the optically-trapped nanoparticle had an axial variation of 7.6 nm (standard deviation) when a 1070 nm laser beam with an intensity of more than 27 MW/cm2 was focused with a 1.25 NA objective lens. From a comparison of a gold nanoparticle fixed on a glass substrate and a gold nanoparticle trapped by optical tweezers with a sufficient light intensity, we found that most of the variation was caused by noise in the experimental setup, and not the motion itself. The lateral variations for the fixed and trapped nanoparticles were the same, but the axial variation for the trapped nanoparticle was slightly larger. This suggested that the optically trapped nanoparticle had a motion with a single-nanometer order in the standard deviation only along the axial direction when the laser intensity was sufficiently large for trapping, which in this experiment was more than 27 MW/cm2.

However, the ultimate Pokemon Legendary is still going to take some beating even if you're fully stocked with high-level Tyranitars. Raikou, the electric-type, will only be available in the Americas. The patch notes for update version 0.73.1 for Android and 1.43.1 for iOS confirmed that players can now spin the Photo Discs at Gyms with the Go Plus... Starting from August 31 and running for three months, each of the legendary beasts will be battling in various regions.
Entel, the Fire-type, is available in Africa and Europe. On September 30, 2017, their locations will shift. It's now thought that certain Pokemon will be exclusive to the Ex Raids so players will only be able to capture them by completing one of these events.More news: Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) Stake Raised by Robeco Institutional Asset Management BV
Suicune, a Water-type Legendary Pokémon, can be battled throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
While the legendary dogs are available to capture and battle, Niantic will also begin testing Pokémon GO's new Ex Raid Battle feature - formerly Exclusive Raid Battle - at select gyms, before making the feature available to users around the world.More news: Texas Mother Died Saving Daughter 'Clinging' to Her in Harvey Flood
Lastly, Niantic stated that Raikou, Entei, and Suicune will be available for this limited time period. Finally, on October 31, they will make one last rotation and then presumably disappear from the game. This could have been assumed before but now it seems more likely.
The first EX Raid Passes are being sent out to players soon.More news: North Korea: Theresa May urges China to intervene
"We have collected some valuable early feedback on the new EX Raid Battle feature and will look to further test and hone the experience through the feedback of the dedicated global Trainer community", said Niantic.

For a variety of reasons, we have been slow to take [the family meal] aspect of the Eucharist seriously.
Perhaps this is because its other dimensions seem more sacred.
Our reluctance to accept this is evident in the simple criticism that is made of people who go to church principally because of its social aspect: "She doesn't go to church to pray! She just goes for the socializing, for the chance to talk with others!"
That is always voiced as a negative when, in fact, it a good reason, among others, to go the Eucharist.
The ritual of the Eucharist was given to us because we are social in our very make-up.
To go to church to socialize is reason enough to be there.

Just talk amongst yourselves
On one level, I agree wholeheartedly with berkeley's comments, with the proviso that although its time to start extending I also enjoy the current free form nature of this blog, so it is the eternal political battle between the tyranny of structure and the tyranny of structurelessness.
You should also remember that this blog had only been going for a week before there were people on TAL saying the same thing berkeley is now saying (although less politely). Spiv had great fun going on about it. Things take time, and you need to have fun along the way. This won't last long if we set deadlines and turn it into work, or if we prescribe the form, it has to just evolve as we all have time to do things. I love the way gricegrocers wants to use colours, a different typeface, and poetic structure, or mayhems dyslexic stream of consciousness, and I hope they enjoy or at least tolerate my windy ruminations. The last thing I want is po faced academic rigidity, or at least I want it contained within the areas where it is valuable ie areas where we accumulate confirmed statements of fact that must be 100% accurate.
But that also raises the point that berkeley obviously has a quite clearly worked out idea of what the OSAS should be and it would be nice to hear it spelt out even further, not just in terms of how we might do it eg a wiki but exactly what might be the content of that wiki. Wikis are only useful in certain situations, ad an web2 style wiki like wikispace is as limited as this blog.
There is no doubt at all that the current basic blog structure is only of limited short-term use, but we all knew that. It was simply a case of seeing what happened for a while and then deciding where to go from there. I don't think it is all that limited, however, because we have always made it clear that anyone can post things if they contact the reader and ask to be given posting rights. Obviously there is a mild sort of control could be exercised but no one who has asked has been refused and there is hardly any reason anyone would be. And of course anyone can comment. So if you want to make more developed proposals just mail the reader and ask to be put on as a contributor.
So to sum up, I think the issue,boils down to this.... How do we create a site that allows the most free-form contributions possible with other highly structured contributions in an atmosphere of glasnost and perestroika, (so to speak, openness and transparency).
My humble suggestion is as follows
1. We set up a new site. We regard the site as a portal to a whole range of different sites and manners of contributing.
2. We create that portal using an off-the-shelf CMS like WordPress because it is very simple for non programmer users. It also has reasonable tagging capailities to help in categorising and searching material.
3. Within that we create static pages to structure the site. Static pages can be headers for interest areas that can then contain ongoing blogs on particular issues.
4. Some of these static pages would link to sub domains or completely different websites run by others people.
5. Other static pages would link to wikis on particular interest areas. Wikis are best for building accumulations of info, how tos, histories. Mediawiki (as used for Wikipedia) has great features like the ability to run discussions around each of the changes made. But it is inflexible and stodgy. Nonetheless it would be excellent for some subject areas. TikiWiki can be customised more for particular uses, it would be better for other interest areas.
Finally there have been a few emails around about all getting together in real space to bounce a few of these ideas around. I will finally have time in mid June , but I'm not sure how others work loads will be by then.
What does everyone think?

By Betsy Baertlein
Feature Editor
Imagine being a student in a foreign country. Think of how much more difficult life would be. Making conversation would be hard enough, let alone making friends. No doubt studying abroad is an eye-opening and amazing experience, but it doesn't come without its struggles.
Read more... This is part of the reason that Jessica Bare, hall director of Skemp and Heffron halls, decided to re-implement the English conversational partners program this year.
"International students may feel anxious about meeting new people," Bare said, "but they really do want to be involved." This program began last year, and when Bare began asking the international students from her residence halls what kind of programs they would like to see, many of them mentioned conversational partners.
Bare began the program by emailing the students of Saint Mary's University, asking English-speaking students who were interested in spending one hour a week talking with an international student to volunteer. Partners were assigned based upon interests and, in some cases, language. For example, students taking Spanish classes may want to be paired with a Spanish-speaking student so they can practice their Spanish as well. Bare said that the meetings are "kept really open-ended."
The majority of the students meet over a meal in the cafeteria, but anything is fair game. Some suggested activities include cooking together, going to the game room, studying together, or exercising together. Most students meet one-on-one with their conversational partners, but small groups are an option as well.
There are currently about 30 participants in this program. The international students in the program speak English at various levels, as some have come to SMU to learn English, whereas others already are fairly comfortable with the language. Native languages of those involved in the partners program include Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Creole. Speaking with these students allows English speaking students to expand their cultural horizons. Having the commitment makes this easier, said Bare. "People have good intentions, but unless it's on your calendar, it's hard to follow through."
Students who are interested in participating in the conversational partners program may have an opportunity to join in January when more transfer students come. Those interested should email Bare at email@example.com.

He encases interesting items and crystals in resin so they look otherworldly and take on new shapes. His pieces are chunky and futuristic.
Here are a few of his that I like:
$134.48 Zipper bangle with crystals
$98.52 Bangle with gold barbed wire
Better than Pamela Anderson's tattoo and still edgy
$89.65 Clear resin with gold chain ring
I could see this with a Chanel outfit to add something a little bit alternative but still classic.
$89.65 Yellow zip and crystal ring

Too many of our relationships with family and friends are thoroughly toxic. Instead of giving us energy, as does a healthy relationship, they drain us, leaving us feeling depressed or inadequate. The real litmus test for whether a relationship is toxic is healthy is not so much how we experience it while we're in the presence of the other, but how we feel about it afterwards.
Recently, I reconnected with a friend of mine, Jasper, who I had not seen in several years. The first time we got together we had a good laugh- reminiscing, and exchanging vignettes from our day to day lives. The second time, however, which was later the same week, was not nearly as pleasant.
I had sought his assistance in coming up with a marketing for my book. Over the course of 3 hours of conversation I was inundated with innumerable facts relating to the strength of his connections with major players, and the challenges facing anyone trying to parlay a book into a continuous stream of income. However, what was conspicuously missing was any concrete answer to my question. My question it seemed was only a launching pad, a sort of pretext, for a pitch directed at demonstrating how much he knew, and how near he was to success. The obvious implication being that compared to him, I was not even on the playing field.
In the words of Shakespeare: "Nothing comes from nothing". The spiritual vacuum that lies inside the narcissist is all consuming. The achievements of others, particularly those 'near and dear' to them, is perceived as a threat, an unwelcome reminder of what they themselves have failed to achieve. It would appear that envy consumes them in a way that is simply unfathomable for the majority of us. Even when the narcissist, has by any objective measure, far surpassed the object of their envy that is still not enough to satisfy their need for dominance. The ultimate victory for such people is to have the other completely under their control.
How many married couples do know where one spouse has systematically undermined the self confidence, and self image of the other- usually the stronger of the two? Over the course of years this relentless assault, like waves crashing against rocks, leaves the stronger vanquished- having been reduced to an empty husk, a mere shadow of their former selves. This applies equally to relations between friends, colleagues, or within the family.
How many of the key relationships in your life, when placed under the cold light of objective scrutiny, might not reveal this same pattern? A disturbing thought, I know. Nonetheless, one well worth considering!

There are two Ariel sets, one where she is a mermaid and the other where she is a girl. The first is called Ariel's Amazing Treasures. It's an under the sea set with mermaid Ariel, her fish pal Flounder, a treasure chest, gate, and seaweed.
Ariel's Magical Kiss. It has Prince Eric's castle and dock, as well as a boat and the lagoon where Ariel and Eric nearly shared their first kiss. It also has a table and thrones inside the castle where they can share a meal. There's even a tiny frog to serenade them as they float along. The Ariel sets are Bean's favorite.
The Brave set, Merida's Highland Games, is my favorite. Merida is so cute, and her curly red hair is perfect. The set includes Merida, her brothers Hamish, Hubert, and Harris in bear form, and even two tiny wisps. There are three scenes as well, a tree, a catapult that launches tarts, and her father's castle, complete with the family tapestry hanging on the wall. She also has a tiny bow and target for her archery practice.
Rapunzel's Creativity Tower. It has Rapunzel, Flynn Ryder, and even a tiny Pascal. Rapunzel's tower is filled with things for her to do, from painting to baking, to capturing Flynn. Rapunzel even has a frying pan to whack people over the head with.
Cinderella's Dream Carriage. The set includes Cinderella, her blue coach with the awesome filigree wheels, a horse to pull the carriage, a fountain, and the garden bench where Cinderella's Fairy Godmother first made her wish come true.
Cinderella's Romantic Castle. This is the most expensive set, but the castle is impressively large. It includes Cinderella and her Prince, a dog and cat who must be Lucifer, a bathroom complete with bathtub, a throne room, and a garden that's perfect for a picnic and even has a tree swing.
I'm addicted to Legos and was very happy to see these new sets that are more girl friendly. While I don't believe that any toy is only for one gender or the other, it's nice to see companies create toys with themes that children love.

Labour law
Labour law establishes employers' and employees' mutual rights and duties. An employee may encounter several labour law-related issues when entering into an employment contract. Of course, this can also happen during employment, or after termination of the contract. For a lay person it is difficult to comprehend this discipline. Moreover, labour law is dynamic, laws and regulations are constantly changing.

Today I stopped by the laptop to see if any of my pals had signed onto Twitter. Ventured over to the public timeline and saw posts about an earthquake as it was happening in California! Went to Google News, CNN, nothing....... but people are sharing quickly where power was out, etc.
Quite an amazing thing. I'm sure going to miss it, as I'm sure Twitter is blocked in our Internet access when I return to work.

Jason (Mraz) must have had me in mind when he wrote this song. He must have wrote this for me. He must have. He really must have.
You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
Based on your body language, your shouted cursive
I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
'Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are
Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging
And it's a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like, we are picking up trash in dresses
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are Here we are
We're still here
And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes
And through timeless words in priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

Hell at work is about over. One more small little voyage into hell today and it should be over. ( Saturday) It will be, of course, just in time to screw up doing the CALL class.
I fenced epee last night. It felt good. I was not tired at all.
In epee I am trying to find a new way of taking the blade that engages my opponent in 4 or their high inside line. I had no luck with this, as I did not have the right kind of people to practice on in my pools. I also have been thinking about trying a take from an engagement of eight. I have beat attack that I use (or use to use) that starts that way. Sadly, someone has to have their weapon extended a bit. I also want to work on an attack that Alex showed us, were you close to in-fighting, but I cannot remember how the take starts. I will try to question some people about this and writing it here will be a reminder to me.
I have some things I want to work on with a left handed fencer. Trev where the heck are you! I fenced a "C" fencer last season (lefty) , who had basically two attacks. I need to work on defense against those. I am sure we will meet again.
While I am on the reminder thing..............
I fenced a guy this season that hit me under the wrist. He is younger and faster than me. Well.. heck!...I guess the younger thing was pretty much a given! I sometimes (and for a variety of reasons) will extend my blade straight and make small advances toward my opponent. It is like a point in line with epee. It tends to freak some people out. For others, just another position for them to get a touche on me. In this case I was doing well countering this guy and this is one of the ways that I force people to attack. When I do this, one of two things generally happens. They try to take the blade or they go for the hit under my wrist, if they are not to tall. In the case with this guy, I got the response I was looking for, but I had a brain fart or he was just to fast for me. He hit me under the wrist with one of those long low lunges and his point came up to almost be in line with the ceiling. It stands to reason, if I fence him again and repeat this action, he will repeat his. Generally, when I bait someone for this action, I just drop the tip and get the point. The way his blade comes in and as fast as he is, I am not sure that will work. I got Tommy to help try to simulate this once as he moves in a similar fashion on this attack. though in general, his point would not be so upright. Dropping the tip did not help and dropping my bell guard only ended up in a double. I need to think on this some more.
I often "duck" by dropping my rear knee when I counter. I have been thinking that I should work on a move where I move to the left; duck and counter.
These are things that I have been thinking about and I want to remember.
Tomorrow is the ref clinic. I am not looking forward to it, but I feel it is something I have to do....like going to the dentist. Maybe it will be more enjoyable than I think. Maybe not.

For many of us, we could wish as we look back on decades, that we would have done some things differently. So as to achieve goals. Goal setting is not bad in and of itself. In fact it is good, as long as it and everything else is kept in perspective. To be sure, some sacrifice their souls or their families to achieve their goals. Their goal may be a good one, but it becomes their life, an idol in their lives.
When all is said and done, what is the most important thing; the one thing needed? It is to follow Jesus, individually and together with those of the Jesus community. This means becoming like the one we follow. And at the heart of this is the Jesus creed: loving God with all of our being and doing, and loving our neighbor as ourselves.
This involves character issues that we all need to keep working on. Issues of priorities in our lives. What we are doing and not doing. Ongoing confession of sins. Involvement with others in the Jesus community. And loving others in the world. All with the goal of following Jesus in our lives. Individually and together with other followers.
This means alot in everyday life. When someone gives us the shrift. Or labels us a certain way. Or belittles us in front of others. Or shows no respect for us as a person. What do we do? How do we respond? Do we react? Hopefully we can learn to stay our ground as a simple follower of Jesus. And find others as soul partners in this following.
I can be a big talker. For me following Jesus oftentimes means keeping my mouth shut. And working extra hard at listening. Letting someone else get the last word in a discussion or debate. And above all loving. Even the unlikeables and in the difficult places and times. Sometimes all we can do is pray. Of course prayer is always vital and so easily lagging behind in our practice, causing us to lag behind in our following Jesus.
Lord, Let us truly be your followers. Day in and day out. By your grace and by your Spirit. Together. As well as in those lonely, difficult places and times. Let us know you better, and true fellowship with you. And do so with others. To your glory. Amen.
