PRESS RELEASE: United Methodist Justice-Seekers: Ferguson Cannot Be an End to Conversation of Power and Privilege in the ChurchTuesday, November 25th, 2014
WASHINGTON, DC – November 25, 2014 –A St. Louis County (MO) Grand Jury has potentially deepened the chasm of racial injustice in the United States in the 21st Century with their decision to not charge Officer Darren Wilson with the shooting of Ferguson, Missouri resident Michael Brown. After hearing from more than 70 witnesses, the grand jury claimed there was not enough physical or scientific evidence to charge Officer Wilson in the death of Michael Brown, the young, unarmed African-American man whose body laid at the scene of the crime for four hours following his murder on August 9, 2014.
The Methodist Federation for Social Action (MFSA) stands with the people of Ferguson as they struggle to understand the decision of the Grand Jury and join with the Brown family in seeking peaceful ways to engage anger and frustration. "Indeed, Ferguson reflects the confusion, emotion, and struggle of a great portion of Americans, no matter our race or political affiliation," states Chett Pritchett, executive director of the Methodist Federation for Social Action. Historically, MFSA has stood with minority communities in the struggle for civil rights. Today, this work continues through focusing on power and privilege in all its forms.
"Last night's decision makes clear that we cannot believe the lie that we live in a post-racial society. When black men are killed and their bodies are left in public for hours, when communities are automatically assumed to be violent because of the color of their skin, when militarized police forces use the same force against participants of civil disobedience that would be used in acts of war, we cannot stand idle to the machinations of injustice," says Pritchett.
MFSA implores The United Methodist Church at all levels to engage in open and honest conversations about race, class, and power. Pritchett reminds, "As the Church begins to enter the season of Advent, themes of power and privilege are illuminated in the story of God becoming incarnate among a marginalized people. The opportunity is before us to not allow Ferguson to be a 'hot-button' topic, but a catalyst for action and transformation of a people called to be world-transforming disciples."
Since 1907, the Methodist Federation for Social Action has worked to mobilize, lead, and sustain a progressive movement, energizing people to be agents of God's justice, peace, and reconciliation. As an independent, faith-based organization, MFSA leads both Church and society on issues of peace, poverty, people's rights, progressive issues, and justice within The United Methodist Church.

The TPS6306x devices provide a power supply solution for products powered by
either three-cell up to six-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH battery, or a one-cell
or dual-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. Output currents can go as high as 2-A
while using a dual-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery, and discharge it down to 5
V or lower. The buck-boost converter is based on a fixed frequency,
pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controller using synchronous rectification to
obtain maximum efficiency. At low load currents, the converter enters power-save
mode to maintain high efficiency over a wide load current range. The power-save
mode can be disabled, forcing the converter to operate at a fixed switching
frequency. The maximum average current in the switches is limited to a typical
value of 2.25 A. The output voltage is programmable using an external resistor
divider, or is fixed internally on the chip. The converter can be disabled to
minimize battery drain. During shutdown, the load is disconnected from the
The devices are available in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 10-pin, WSON (DSC), PowerPAD

The best way to thaw frozen COOL WHIP Whipped Topping is in its container in the refrigerator. Depending on the size tub you have, the thawing time varies. Recommended thawing times are: 8-oz. tub - 4 hours; 12-oz. tub - 5 hours; 16-oz. tub - 6 hours. We DO NOT recommend thawing COOL WHIP Whipped Topping in the microwave.
Keep a tub of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping in the freezer to use as an easy dessert topping, as a last-minute frosting for cakes or for spooning over cut-up fresh fruit. Once thawed, the whipped topping should be refrigerated and used within 2 weeks. For longer storage, COOL WHIP Whipped Topping can be re-frozen up to five times.

Roberta 'Bobbette' Smith
Roberta "Bobbette" Smith went home to be with her Lord and Savior on February 6, 2012. Bobbette was born on May 1, 1935, in Cold Spring, New York to Claude and Roberta Smith. She graduated from Haldane High School in Cold Spring, NY, and from State University of Plattsburg, NY, with a major in Home Economics and a minor in Science.
Bobbette dedicated her life to teaching. She taught in Webster, NY, and continued her education and taught in Madison, Wisconsin, before moving to California. She taught in Sacramento, Millbrae, Redwood City, and Menlo Park. In 1985, she moved to the Lodi area where she taught at Woodbridge Middle School, Tokay High School, and Bear Creek High School. She retired in 1995, but continued to be a substitute teacher for several years. Bobbette truly loved being a teacher and often expressed her love for her students and colleagues.
Bobbette had such a wonderful exuberance for life. She had unconditional love for her family and countless treasured friends. Above all, she loved the Lord and was always involved with a church and Bible study groups in all of the places she lived. She liked all outdoor activities and especially liked to gather her friends for luncheons and dinner parties. She traveled all over the United States and other countries with loved ones and friends, but her favorite place on earth remained her childhood home, Cold Spring, NY.
Her family and friends will miss her many beautiful qualities. She had a big smile and a special greeting, Hi, Gorgeous!" or "Hi, Mr. Handsome," for everyone she met.
Bobbette is survived by her sisters, Claudia Hopper (Jim) of The Villages, FL, and Priscilla Smith of Hobe Sound, FL; nieces, Priscilla, Melissa, and Heather; nephews, Blair and Blaine; and three great nieces and six great nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Roberta Smith; twin brother, Robert; brother, David; and sister, Cynthia.
A memorial service will be held at Lodi Funeral Home, 725 S. Fairmont Ave., Lodi, CA, on Saturday, February 18, at 11 a.m. A family committal service will be held in Cold Spring, NY, at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Wilms Tumor Research at St. Jude Hospital, www.stjude.org or a charity of the donor's choice. Lodi Funeral Home is assisting the family with the arrangements.

Brutalist Architecture at the Top of Santorini
Located at the top of the cliffs of Santorini in Greece, the two holiday homes of architects Kapsimalis face a dreamlike view northwest of the sea and the volcano. The artificial concrete structure, which is placed on the natural terrain, opposes the randomness of the volcanic landscape and gives the impression of having been laid in a block.

Bernat Blanket and Blanket Brights Yarn 300g
This pattern is of a cute penguin. My friend who loves penguins asked me to knit a penguin hat for his niece. As written, it will fit a toddler. I used a "double-knitting" technique with the white face of the penguin to ensure that the hat maintained its stretch. I have documented this clearly with words and pictures in the patterns, but if you have any questions or need any clarification, feel free to contact me. BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY knit in the round basic embroidery GAUGE 8 stitches is 2" in stockinette stitch SIZING / FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Fits a 1-2-year-old (~19" head size), finished hat is ~15" unstretched, stretches to ~21"

1. Make friends with your camera. The ideal is to buy new camera equipment before the baby's born. "Read online tutorials and talk to friends who love photography," Arthur suggests. "You'll be amazed at how much you can learn in a short period of time." The payoff? Priceless.
2. Get up close and personal. "Parents often stand too high up or too far away from the baby," says Arthur. "There's no need to get the messiness of the room in the background! Move in as much as your camera will allow, and capture all of those amazing little details like fingers, toes, and sleepy eyes."
3. Go easy on the flash. If some of your best shots are ruined by red-eye, washed-out faces and background shadows, blame it on the flash. "Pretend that it doesn't work," says Arthur, "and go with natural light, shooting outdoors, or in a sun-filled room."
4. Stick with simple outfits. By all means, take a few pix of your tot in that frilly outfit Grandma sent. But you'll get some of the best shots if she's wearing only a diaper and blanket—or nothing at all. Explains Arthur, "New babies often look uncomfortable in clothing because it bunches up around their neck or hangs too long on their arms."
5. Make funny faces and sounds. "As babies get older, you'll get the best smiles and expressions on their faces by acting silly," says Arthur. "Those are the real moments you'll want to remember forever."

I love these diapers!!!!! I tried pampers on my daughter but she would pee through them and then tried luvs and found out she is allergic to them. Then I tried theses out and they work the best with her. She sleeps through the night in one and doesn't pee though it.
I have been buying Huggies and only Huggies for 4 years solid. Every month. They are the best leak protection and fit both my son's chunky thighs very well

Being a father doesn't mean you have to succumb to dad bod!
Shape up like some of Hollywood's hottest dads with these moves from celebrity trainer and owner of Barry's Bootcamp Miami Beach and Midtown Miami Derek DeGrazio.

For biceps and shoulders like Ryan Gosling:
"Stand with feet hip-width apart and dumbbells at your sides. Curl the weights up simultaneously, keeping your arms even with your sides, bending at your elbows. Once at the top, press the weights above your head, twisting your palms in front of you. Return and repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps."
For triceps like Ryan Reynolds:
"Bending over with a flat back and small bend in knees, pull your elbows toward the sky and hold at the top. With your elbows above your back, kick your arms back by straightening them back, bending at your elbows. Repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps."
For a chest like Chris Hemsworth:
"In a pushup position with hands underneath shoulders and on the balls of your feet, slowly lower down, leading with your chest, then press back up to starting position. Next, row your left arm back, keeping your back neutral, then return to do another pushup. Repeat again doing the row on the other side. Do 3 sets of 10 pushups (5 rows each side)."
For legs like David Beckham:
"Place your right leg on a bench or chair behind you, with your left leg a few feet in front of the bench or chair. Keeping your chest out and shoulder blades back, slowly bend your left knee to a 90-degree angle, making sure your knee stays behind your foot, then stand back up to starting position. For good measure – because his shoulders aren't so bad either – add a wide shoulder raise with slowly controlled weights. Do each leg 3 times for 10 reps each."

This week's podcast manages to touch on Margo MacDonald, Devo Max, Donald Trump , the Crown Estates, crowd funding and Lord's Reform. Warning : does contain rants and may provoke reactions. You have been warned.
« How Donald was Trumped and 'that' film this Friday | Main | Trump & Wallander »
I understand that Lesley doesn't read the comments on her blogs. As she is a BROADCASTER, but not a listener.
I wonder if Lesley has ever considered that she might be wrong???
A simple question...but it's not something that I have ever heard Lesley say... " i am/was wrong about ..."
Do u remember the last time Lesley broadcasted that in print or on the web?... I don't
Just picking up on your Lord Reforms chat. Why hasn't any media outlet been brave enough to pick up on the very obvious fact that the Lords represent a permanent pension for MP's. £300 quid a day and all you can eat and you can never be thrown out. No wonder MP's don't vote against it, it's the ultimate retirement package.
I agree, Lords sitting on bank boards does not fill me with confidence, but not as much as a political party, like the Conservatives, that in the last few years have had donations of over £100m of which £47m has come from the city.
The devo max question is a nightmare. My understanding is that devo max has to be offered through Westminster parties, the SNP don't have a mandate for this kind of offer.Only Westminster has the power to decide on 'partial settlement' for want of a better phrase. Is this correct ?
The last thing I want to see is devo max being offered in the ballot, it being voted the most popular choice and then have Westminster declare our referendum not valid and take steps through the courts to have it nullified.
Surely the fist question from Civic Scotland (and other groups that are calling for a second question) to Westminster should be can we have a question in the referendum ballot that offers devolution of economic controls only, leaving defence and foreign affairs at Westminster ?
Once that question is answered, and we know it's legal and won't be rescinded, then the political parties will pick up on it, as will the media and the population.

Westminster Thoughts About The Dog Show
Dog Show
Westminster Thoughts
Viewing TV coverage of the Westminster Dog Show a couple of nights ago, I couldn't help thinking how great it was that we are such a dog-loving nation. As each individual dog paraded around the ring at Madison Square Garden, the cheers of its supporters seemed to vitalize the dog's eagerness to show at its best. Inspiring the spirit of competition and the building excitement was itself inspiring, all these near-perfect dogs in a single venue evidenced a dog lovers dream come true.
Impartial judges sought to find the dogs closest to their breed's standard; while cheering fanciers sought primarilly to show their partiality to their favorite breed and thereby possibly influence the judging outcome. It's been said that stalwart judges tune out crowd reaction and hew to the officially prescribed critical standards. Maybe so, but methinks human nature must, at least, sometimes creep in and color their rulings.
Enjoyable though the annual Westminster event is for so many people, and I have no wish to toss any cold water, it leaves room for some negative aspects. A bit of snob appeal exists when considering the participation of only purebred dogs. Might it not be a good idea to initiate a mixed breeds category into the show? Obviously, such dogs could not be judged by a breed standard, since none exists. But some form of judgement could be devised to separate entries, perhaps by size, coat, color. Maybe even an audience applause and cheering meter could decide placements. Just an idea tossed into the hopper.
Especially pleasing were the Pedigree commercials on behalf of, and advocating adoption of, shelter dogs. Mixed breeds predominate at shelters across the country and badly need to find loving homes. There are also many purebreds turned in to shelters that need new loving homes. Additionally, purebreds have the added benefit of their own organizations to which interested adopters may apply.
One of the most unfortunate aspects of the, otherwise, exciting Westminster Dog Show, is its influence on breed popularity. Puppy mill breeders immediately latch onto the opportunity to mass produce puppies of the popular winner breeds that will appeal to trendy buyers. Even legitimate, reputable breeders can sometimes succomb to the lure of increased sales. And over-popularity too often has resulted in the ruination of a breed through careless over breeding, as well as the serious diluting of quality in some breeds.
All in all, encouragement of a few serious thoughts about Westminster by sincere dog lovers, should ultimately evaluate its real worth to
the canine community.
A Long Time In Coming
The Best In Show winner a few night ago was an Irish wolfhound, hardly a hugely popular breed. In fact the occasion marked the first time the breed had ever won the title in Westminster's long and colorful history. How refreshing that a judge ignored the popularity level of the breed, and based his decision on the standard alone. Kudos to judge, dog and handler!
Thanks for your comment. Having a Best-in-Show companion must be a real thrill, but, as you say, she's just happy to be your dog.
We thought, too, how wonderful that our "best of show" companion could just be herself, sitting with us. She was once a showdog, from what we've been told, but we suspect she likes her life as much with us as her life then.

Debra Satz, a professor of philosophy, senior associate dean for the humanities and arts, and chair of the 2016-17 Faculty Senate, has long been a champion of the humanities, equity issues and faculty governance on the Farm.
Satz highlights the Humanites:
To further promote interest in the humanities, Satz established the Summer Humanities Institute in 2012 to bring 50 rising high school juniors and seniors to campus for university-level coursework. Each year the program recruits carefully targeted high school students from across the country and introduces them to classes with Stanford's accomplished humanities faculty. In the program's first year Satz composed a separate letter for New York students, essentially saying she had been "a kid from the New York City public schools who got here and actually liked it."
We are really not the MIT of the West.
This summer, the institute will enroll up to 140 students and offer five courses, including Ancient Rome and Its Legacies and Racial Identity in the American Imagination. "It's an amazing program that has helped us get the word out about studying the humanities and the arts at Stanford," Satz said. "We are really not the MIT of the West."

School CP - May 2004

Caning in schools fully justified
SOME parents have conveniently overlooked the fact that school is a basic-education and character-building centre and this is the main purpose for sending our children there.
While doing so, we must have trust and confidence in teachers, otherwise the whole purpose is defeated.
In the rat-race urban society, parents tend to leave their children's well being to teachers while they engage in ringgit-chasing.
There is nothing wrong in ringgit-chasing as long as they understand the price involved.
The number of incidents reported in the media about crimes committed by students is too serious for comfort. I feel that bringing back the rod to classrooms is fully justified.
I have five school-going children and have no complaints about teachers using the cane if my children were found not observing school rules.

by SMK Jabi, which wanted its students to sign a pledge allowing
them to be caned if they committed serious offences, the daily

Wrong to cane girls
I REFER to the request by teachers to seek power to cane
female students. Mahatma Gandhi said, "If we know how much
passive violence we perpetrate against one another, we will
understand why there is so much physical violence plaguing
societies and the world." Just to feel empowered to use
corporal punishment against children, irrespective of whether we
use that force or not, is in itself an act of passive violence.

The swoosh factor
By Anita Anandarajah
IS caning the answer to curb the rise of bullying and gangsterism in schools? ANITA ANANDARAJAH speaks to secondary school students to find out why they feel it will work, or won't.
IT takes a fair measure of bravado - or blind obedience - to stand still with your hand outstretched for the cane, particularly when you know how badly it is going to hurt.
And Govind Nair knows only too well the searing pain that
comes after the swoosh of the rotan. The 19-year-old from Kluang,
Johor, has had his fair share of run-ins with the discipline
teacher - and his trusty cane.
.............Although Govind admits that he deserved the punishment for his repeated disregard of the teacher's instructions, he feels however that caning a student for his facial hair is unwarranted.
"Although I would shave it all off every time I got caned, I'd still grow it back. So you see, there was no lasting effect," he said. "Just get rotan-ed againlah."
"There was this instance, though, when the entire class was whacked. We had this exercise that every student had to carry out - writing down texts of speeches delivered by teachers during assembly. One day, this guy was chosen to read out the speech, but he hadn't transcribed it. So the whole class was caned. Sure, whack the guy for not doing his work, but why punish everyone else?
............A 14-year-old male student from Kuala Lumpur was singled out to be caned in front of the whole school when he and his friends were caught smoking.
"The discipline master explained that he wanted to make an example out of me and that it wasn't necessary to punish the others. That was totally unfair. I know that I fully deserved it, and I've landed myself in trouble many times, but the cane should be used equally," he said.
The student said that a discipline master should also provide a reasonable explanation for the punishment instead of hitting out in frustration.

Whether to issue police officers hollow point bullets may be provoking intense debate in New York City, but in many other big cities the issue is moot, since virtually every other major urban police department in the nation uses the bullets, according to law enforcement experts.
Even proponents admit that some people have been more seriously wounded by the bullets than by full-metal-jacket ones now used by the New York Police Department. But these experts argue that lives have probably been saved through the use of hollow-points.
''I'd rather be hit by a traditional full-metal jacket bullet because it is a cleaner wound,'' said Lieut. Nicholas Sapienza, the range manager of the Newark Police Department. ''But they do more good than harm.''
There is a simple trade-off between the use of the more traditional ammunition and hollow point bullets, which are capable of stopping a criminal before he can fire his gun. The hollow-points are more likely to cripple or kill, so present an added danger to police officers or bystanders shot in a crossfire.
But because the hollow point bullet expands and loses its casing on contact, it rarely ricochets or penetrates an object, thereby lessening the possibility of hitting anyone other than the target.Continue reading the main story
Studies on the issue are inconclusive. But civil libertarians have criticized the hollow point bullets, saying they are more deadly and increase the ability of police officers to maim and kill a suspect. ''The introduction of the hollow-point may very well exceed the bounds of reason and necessity, especially if massive internal injury is the risk,'' said Norman Siegel, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union.
Legal challenges in Los Angeles and elsewhere, however, have proved fruitless, since most big-city departments began adopting the ammunition in the 1970's and 1980's.
Still, several studies show that the case for the hollow point bullet is not entirely clear cut. One in five officers who is shot is shot by himself or another officer, either by accident or suicide. And 80 percent of the shots fired in police shootouts miss their targets, meaning at least some innocent people hit cleanly by an errant bullet would be more severely injured by the new bullets.
''Overall survival in shooting victims was greater with round-nose bullets,'' a 1989 study published in The Journal of Forensic Sciences said.
In New York City during the last two years, seven of the bystanders shot by the police were struck by bullets that passed through other people, walls or doors, the kind of shootings that would not be expected with hollow-points. But six bystanders were struck directly by police bullets, meaning that they might have suffered more serious injuries if the new bullets had been used.
James Fyfe, a Temple University criminologist who has studied shootings in New York City, Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston and Los Angeles, said ''hollow point bullets offer several advantages.''
''The energy of the bullet is absorbed very quickly, and although it produces a wider hole, it's not as deep, so it is much less likely to bore through a person and hit someone else,'' he said.
That is essentially the conclusion reached by a Federal Bureau of Investigation study almost a decade ago, as well as studies conducted by the Los Angeles, Dallas, and Newark departments since then, experts say. Several Federal agencies and the police in Washington, Baltimore, Chicago and Boston use hollow point bullets.
Commissioner Howard Safir defended the bullets yesterday at a City Council hearing, saying, ''When a police officer uses a hollow point bullet, the perpetrator, who is usually armed, is brought down with fewer shots, therefore eliminating danger to the police officer and the public.''
The New York Transit and Housing Police Departments began using the hollow point bullets in 1990, and their more than 4,000 officers continued to use the ammunition when the forces merged with the New York Police Department two years ago.
Dr. Charles Hirsch, the New York Medical Examiner, expressed support of the new bullets based on his office's examination of scores of shooting victims since 1990.
''They do not produce grotesque, devastating injuries,'' he said, ''and they are much less likely to pierce through a person, a wall, a car or some other object than are fully jacketed bullets. I think they are safer.''
New York City conducted a series of tests in 1994 and 1995 on the bullets, but the department refuses to release the findings. William J. Bratton, Commissioner at the time, said the studies on hollow point bullets showed ''it would take fewer rounds to stop an opponent, therefore there is less need to fire more rounds and thus you reduce the likelihood that innocent bystanders will be struck.''
The traditional bullets, he added, ''have a ricochet potential that is phenomenal,'' especially in the subway system.Continue reading the main story

I reacted to a muscle cramp and kicking out my window while cutting up my foot in the progress.
I was working a construction job remodeling a church ,(Long before safety harnesses were mandatory),and I threw up my arms to scare away some incontinent pigeons, lost my balance, fell 10 feet,and found myself wedged and dangling between beams 20 feet above the floor.I pulled myself out amid riotous laughter from my co workers. I gingerly limped home 2hours early with some really ominous looking bruises and my former wife asked me why I forgot the milk?

I have a scar on my foot from where I stepped on a plug. I learned soon enough not to leave those laying around on the floor. It went in pretty deep and I had to hop up the stairs before I could do anything about it.
My earlobe has a tear in it. When I was in kindergarten or first grade I got my earring caught on my shirt and instead of asking for help to get it off I just pulled. Now, I have a permanent tear.
A few summers ago I bruised my tailbone. I tried to jump over the gate at the bottom of the stairs, but instead of going over it I jump too low and knocked it over. Nonetheless, I landed on it. It was metal, so hitting my tailbone was extremely painful and made it almost impossible to move.
I dropped a steak sauce bottle on my foot on bruised it. But, it's not my fault. Someone left the cabinet open and my shirt got caught and pulled it off. My foot was purple afterward for a while.
Okay, this one isn't stupid. When I was in 5th grade I was taking a shower and I just passed out. No idea why. But I had a pretty huge bruise on my head. Two years later, I'm diagnosed with epilepsy... Not sure if they are indeed related, but it's the only likely cause we can come up with.
You had a pierced ear that young? Considering how active kids usually are it just seems like an accident waiting to happen...and I guess in your case it did.
The tear doesn't bother me. I had to work around it to get my ears re-pierced, but it doesn't hurt at all. In fact, most people don't notice, or just don't say anything. Apparently I said I didn't even feel when it came out either.
That's good that it doesn't bother you and causes no real issues. It would suck if something so small became a big deal for whatever reason.
I punched an entrance portal and the exit portal was to the left of my face..
I'm the captain now
Out of all the times I've accidentally hurt myself, which has been quite a bit over the years. One moment comes to mind above all else. I've once cut myself on the plastic from some cup ramen. It drew a small drop of blood and didn't hurt more than a paper cut without the lasting sting. I was shocked by that simple fact that the plastic cut my finger. It was a stubborn cardboard label that wouldn't tear off with a little bit of force. Also, I was a little bit of a rush as I had to walk to the post office that day to submit a manuscript. When it didn't open up easily, I decided to quickly and forcibly open the thing. The little corner where the plastic is hard at the seams never crossed my mind that it could also be a malicious object.
Peculiar minor injuries such as that example is a strange recurrence in my life. I've had other moments where the injury was more severe than that one, but it's one that I'm fond of in telling it's brief yet odd story.
Looking at the start, hope to see a finish
i was standing on a stepstool trying to kill a roach on my bedroom ceiling but it flew away at the last second and i ended up falling on top of my drum set
I accidentally smashed a plate with my hand, i didn't realize until a few minutes later that when i looked at my hand i could literally see the bone urgh had to get stitches scar for life :'( but theres nothing plastic surgery cant fix in the future
As a kid, jumping on a bed, ceiling fan on top, it sliced my eyebrow and had to get stitches.
Middle school, broke my finger when I was playing football, went out to reach the fumbled football, someone crossed in front of me, broke my middle finger.
Too many to remember but, roller blades, skateboards, bicycle crashes and fails.
Now I play it safe as much as possible.
I've been playing too much Kotor
When I was 10 me and my friend were playing tag on the playground. He hid underneath the platform I was on and jumped out and screamed. This scared the living shit out of me and I screamed while turning back around, only to realise that there was a metal pole there. Before I knew it my two front teeth were cracked and lying on the ground.
Felt like an idiot, because being the stupid kid I was I picked up the fragments of my teeth and went to the school infirmary and asked if they could fix it -_-
When I was about 7 some of the teenagers next door cheered me on to go down a huge, paved hill in a little plastic Megablocks wagon. I tried to slow myself down with my feet, but got flipped around backwards. I crashed into my little brother at the end of the hill going fairly fast.
Gee, the post-college, pre-career phase of life sure is peaceful but uneventful.
I bet my sister I could jump out of the club house and land on my feet. I stuck the landing perfectly..... however I displaced a small bone in my foot. I had to stay in a wheel chair for the next couple of months, I was the cripple ninja for holloween.
Saying you're alive is synonymous with saying you're going to die.

I was eating once and there was a knock at the door. I brought my fork with me when I went to answer it. After I'd seen what the knocker wanted, I closed the door - with the fork. I had it braced on my forefinger and thumb, pointing outward, and just pushed the door closed with the tines. Once the door had reached the frame, it stopped. The fork also stopped. My thumb? Not so much.
And that is the story of how I cut myself with the underside of a fork.

ICYMI: Why GOP is Bullish About 2014
Why GOP Is Bullish About 2014
Wall Street Journal
Beth Reinhard
July 16, 2014
To say the Republican Party is bullish on its chances in 2014 would be an understatement.
President Barack Obama's sinking approval ratings, higher enthusiasm among Republican voters, success in recruiting GOP candidates and strong fundraising are all reasons for optimism, the leaders of the GOP committees overseeing presidential, Senate, House, gubernatorial and state legislative races said Wednesday.
That GOP operatives think Republicans are going to win was not a surprise, but here are five things we learned at their press conference Wednesday:
– The RNC has recruited 16,630 leaders precinct leaders and dispatched 304 staffers in the field to try to mobilize 10 million "low propensity Republican voters" in November.
– Sixty-eight percent of the National Republican Congressional Campaign spending has been on offense, compared with 48% by the Democratic Campaign Congressional Committee, according to the NRCC.
– The president's party has lost Senate seats in the second term during every mid-term election since 1906. George W. Bush lost six seats. Ronald Reagan lost eight seats. Since the 1950s, the opposition party has won an average of 6.6 Senate seats, which if it held true in 2014 would put the GOP in charge.
– The Republican Governors Association sees Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett and Maine Gov. Paul LePage as its most vulnerable incumbents. The RGA says it's ready to spend $100 million in the last 100 days of the campaign.
– Matt Walter, executive director of the Republican State Legislative Committee, said: "We have an opportunity not only to exceed our all-time highs but but to get super majorities in a majority of legislative chambers across the country."

OK. We said we'd start using the blog again, but I don't see anyting on it! Thought I'd add something, even though I don't have much to say. As for exercise, Ryan and I went to a batting cage last Saturday and then we did some bowling on Sunday. Does that count as exercise? We've also been on some nice walks recently, checking out the fall colours: Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake, Burnaby Mountain (around SFU). I recommend all of them for easy jaunts in the woods. As for books, I'm too busy knitting to do much else!

This weekend, August 10 - 12, 10am to 5pm daily, at the Monument Mountain Regional High School on Rte. 7 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, I will be exhibiting my baskets. This is a gem of a show, only 89 artists, media includes: jewelry, clothing, ceramics, leather, glass, fiber, metal, mixed media and wood - something for everyone!
|Hive - detail
I've started a new series of sculptural baskets referencing environmental topics of the day. This year, here in Vermont, I'm participating in the first ever, state-wide bumble bee survey. Over the years, these important pollinators have been on the decline. Doing a survey will provide a reference for discerning the gain or loss of populations of this valuable resource.
This piece is called "Pollinators". Vermont has almost 20 bumble bee species and a few are in serious decline or may even be extinct in our state.

Opticianry program to host open house Jan. 29
Jan. 18, 2014
The Community College of Rhode Island will host an open house on Jan. 29 in which prospective students can learn about its Opticianry program, which is offered in a primarily distance learning environment. The event will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. in Room 1134 at the Knight Campus, 400 East Ave., Warwick.
The Opticianry program was designed to provide applicants for licensure in Rhode Island with the two-year degree they need. It is one of only four programs in New England and one of two offered in a distance learning format.
General education courses can be taken at any CCRI campus or be transferred from another post-secondary institution. The classroom and laboratory theory courses have online modules that the student must complete independently within a specific time frame. Some on-site participation is required – typically on Saturdays or evenings for approximately three hours at a time – for course lectures and hands-on training sessions. Clinical experiences are scheduled at optical facilities and typically run during the day between Monday and Saturday. Those who successfully complete the five-semester program, approved by the Rhode Island Department of Health and designed around the National Federation of Opticianry Schools program used in many colleges around the country, will receive an Associate in Applied Science degree.
According to the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training's 2012 Occupational Wage Report, dispensing opticians earn a median salary of nearly $26 per hour. DLT's Labor Market Information Occupational Projections say the number of positions in the field is expected to increase by 33 percent through growth and attrition between 2010 and 2020.
To apply for licensure in Rhode Island, candidates must graduate from a two-year opticianry program and successfully complete the National Opticianry Competency Examination administered by the American Board of Opticianry as well as successfully completing a regional practical examination.

iVac Pro Tool Plus Wireless Dust Collection Controller System
The iVac Pro system eliminates the inconvenience of having to walk across the shop to turn on your dust collection system before operating a power tool. It also eliminates the chance that you will simply forego the dust collector to save a bit of time. Simply turn on your power tool and the Pro Tool Plus sends a wireless signal up to 40' to the Pro Switch (sold separately), which then powers up your dust collection system. Turn off your power tool, and the dust collector powers down. Here's how it works. The Pro Tool Plus is physically secured to the power cord of your power tool, and determines whether the tool is on or off by sensing the magnetic field surrounding the cord. Now plug your dust collection system into a Pro Switch (sold separately). In Auto Mode, when the power tool is turned on, the Tool Plus transmits a digital wireless signal to the Pro Switch instructing it to turn on and apply power to the Dust Collector. You can add a Pro Tool Plus to every tool that you want to have this capability. One Pro Switch can accommodate up to 8 Pro Tools, as long as they are within the 40' radio frequency range. You can even program your Pro Switch to run a little longer than your tool to allow for dust clearance. Get started today by selecting a Pro Switch in 240V or 115V and adding up to 8 Pro Tool Plus units. NOTE: IVac Pro System Boxes are built to handle the amperage advertised, however, both the UL (American) and CSA (Canadian) safety approval agencies require the boxes to be labeled at 80% of their actual amperage capacity due to the fact that the units have an attached power supply cord. Example - The 115 Volt / 20 Amp box is labeled as only 16 amps, however the box will actually continuously handle 20 amp AC mains. Automatically turns your dust collection system on or offWirelessly connect up to eight iVac Pro Tool Plus units (each sold separately) to an iVac Pro Switch for multi-tool coverageRun two or more power tools at the same time without interference (turning off one tool won't turn your dust collection system off if another tool is still runningTurn on delay helps avoid power surges from dust collector and power tool turning on at the same timeThree-position mode switch: Auto/Off/On40' line-of-sight range between the iVac Pro Switch and iVac Pro Tool Plus

text: Boy's Peanut Allergy Cured by Bone Marrow Transplant? Boy, 10, remains peanut allergy-free—and cancer-free, too By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Nov 8, 2013 5:35 PM CST 10 comments Comments (Shutterstock) (Newser) – A bone marrow transplant is thought to have cured both the cancer and the peanut allergy of a 10-year-old boy, LiveScience reports. The boy, who was being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, remains both cancer- and peanut allergy-free, doctors said at a meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology today. He'd had the peanut allergy since he was 15 months old, according to US News & World Report. While several studies have found people developing new allergies after bone marrow and other transplant procedures, the opposite case is more rare. But LiveScience mentions two others: In 2005, a 12-year-old boy also saw his peanut allergy cured after a bone marrow transplant, and in 1999, a 5-year-old boy had his latex allergy cured after getting transplant surgery for a bone marrow disorder. Doctors aren't recommending risky transplants to cure allergies, but they say these types of cases could offer clues to how such allergies develop and how to deal with them.

P67 Motherboard Roundup
Closer Look:
ECS comes to market with its latest Black Series offering - the P67H2-A. ECS has really moved to upgrade their image and the performance capabilities of their lineup. From that of a manufacturer of economical boards to that of a high-end performance builder with top end offerings such as the P55H-AK and this offering the P67H2-A "Black Extreme" series motherboard for use with Intel's second generation Core processors. The packaging used goes all out to deliver this message with a metallic blue background and a full list of the technologies supported on the front panel. Items shown include support for a three card multi-GPU solutions and Hydra core technology for a cross manufacturer multi-GPU solution via use of a Lucidlogix Hydra SoC. The back side of the packaging gives added detail about ECS Hydra Core technology , ECS M.I.B. X BIOS, Gold Contacts, the ECS software package and Hyper HDD. THe extensive feature set is further illustrated along the bottom of the back panel. The front panel flips open to show off the P67H2-A Black Extreme while the data on the flap shows the overclocking and graphics performance potential.
Inside the packaging, the motherboard is in a plastic shell while the accessory bundle is housed in a box below the board. The bundle included with this board is pretty substantial and supplies both the basics such as the manual and driver disk to the SATA 6Gb/s cables and USB 3.0 expansion port bracket and 3.5 inch bay housing for using the additional connectivity from the front of the chassis. One of the interesting additions to the bundle is a set of what ECS calls connector caps that cover up ports on the I/O panel to protect them.
The ECS Black Extreme is a full featured motherboard built for use with Intel's second generation Core series processors. Specifically the K-sku processors for some incredible overclocking fun. The graphing on the front panel touts a 147% increase in the operating frequency of the Core i7 2600K so ECS puts out an expectation of performance that is achievable. The ECS P67H2A is an ATX form factor board targeted at the high-end user with features such as solid capacitors, DDR3 2133MHz support, an on board diagnostic display, USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s connectivity and three way multi-GPU support with an interesting twist via the LucidLogix Hydra core technology. The color scheme is shades of grey and black that really present a unique look that works. The large Qooltech III dual heat pipe cooling solution is the dominant feature on this board. The back side shows the Lotes CPU socket bracket and that the Qooltech III heat sinks are held on with screws rather than push pins. A more robust solution.
The rear I/O panel contains a wealth of connectivity. You have the clear CMOS button on the top (left), a legacy PS/2 port that can be used with either a keyboard or a mouse, a total of six USB 2.0 ports, two eSATA ports, four USB 3.0 ports in blue, Dual Realtek 8111E controlled RJ-45 Gigabit LAN ports that support teaming, the audio jacks for the Realtek HD 8 channel sound solution and an optical S/PDIF output. This is pretty much what you see on the majority of higher end enthusiast boards. Expansion capabilities come in the form of three 16x PCIe 2.0 slots that support up to a three way graphics solution, two PCIe 1x slots and a pair of PCI slots. The 16x slots will run at x16 x x16 when running two video cards and x16 x x8 x x8 when a three card solution is used. CrossfireX is supported as well as a hybrid setup but there is no mention of SLI support for up to three cards. Installing the connector caps into the USB ports is as simple as pushing them in with removal just as simple with the small handle on the cap.
Along the bottom of the board is added connectivity. From left to right you get the front panel audio header, S/PDIF header, a comm port header, system fan header, S/PDIF debug header, a total of four front panel USB 2.0 headers and the front panel switch header. Of the four USB 2.0 front panel headers, three are white and one is gray. This gray header supports the EZ Charger function allowing enough current to flow to properly charge your portable device such as a cell phone or iPod. Right around the corner of the PCB is the ADD or Advanced Dual Display Indicator that functions as both a debug LED during the post sequence and as a system temperature display once into the operating system.
Coming up the right side of the PCB you have the front panel USB 3.0 header used with the USB 3.0 expansion kit right above the ADD, the four SATA 3Gb/s (white) that support RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 & RAID 10 and two 6Gb/s (gray) ports supporting RAID 0 and 1. Moving on up we get to the onboard power and reset buttons for use when this board is on a tech station or open bench. Power is supplied through the 24 pin ATX power connector with another fan header located just above this connection. The four DIMM slots will support up to 32GB of DDR3 2133MHz memory in a dual channel configuration but ECS states they have tested only to 16GB due to the availability up to 4GB density modules.
Another interesting addition when you swing around to the top of the PCB from ECS comes in the form of voltage measuring points that are being implemented on more and more high-end enthusiast grade boards. Even with the implementation of this feature I have to say this feature needs to be setup with a pocket that will hold the probes of your multimeter for full time monitoring. Something that has been addressed by MSI and now finally by ASUS on the Maximus IV Extreme. Next is another addition in the form of LEDs that light up to show the power circuit phase loading. The eight pin auxiliary power connector rides the edge of the PCB. Just behind it you can see the dual heat pipes of the Qooltech III cooling solution.
The LGA 1155 socket uses a Lotes retention bracket to hold in the Intel second generation Core series processors. The area around the socket is filled with solid capacitors, even so I did not notice any issues with either large heat sinks or a waterblock. The power design for this board is a VRD12 compliant 12 phase implementation. The ferrite chokes are hidden up under the massive cooling solution. The Qooltech III cooling solution used by ECS looks like overkill at first glance but is in reality quite functional because the VRM circuit will get warmer than the CPU in most instances. The dual heat pipe design offers a second conduit to transfer the thermal load to the aluminum heat sink body.
ECS has a surprise player here with this offering. The key is how will the multi-GPU implementation perform as well as how expansive are the overclocking options? All questions to be answered. Now the last board we have in this roundup is the MSI P67-GD65.

While you are in your trial period, or if you want to try something new.... it is always bests to test it out on a dummy collection prior to making it live on your site. Set up the collection to self fulfilment (making sure you are not sending orders automatically to a print lab) and set payments to customer paying you directly (cheque payment). Now run any test transactions. Once you are happy with everything, you can delete the test transactions.
How to delete cheque payment transactions
On the control panel click "Finance" then "Sales History" then click the order id number of the sales notification you wish to delete. This will open up the order. Near the top you will see a link "If this was a test transaction, you may permanently delete this sales notification to make your reports more accurate." Click this link, and then confirm that you want it deleted. This will delete the sale completely from your sales history.
Please note you should only delete sales that are test transactions or where the sale was never completed by a customer (i.e. you did not receive the payment) to keep your sales history accurate - you can not delete sales notifications - even test transactions - if real money has changed hands.

Chasing Vermeer
Chasing Vermeer
Secrets, lies and mysteries surround the work of one of the greatest artists of all time. Moonlit chases, hidden hiding places, and even a secret code help to solve the mystery. Is this the new sequel to THE DA VINCI CODE? Nope --- it's an equally entertaining novel for younger readers. CHASING VERMEER encourages kids to use all their creativity and problem-solving skills to tackle a real-life mystery surrounding the elusive painter Johannes Vermeer.
Calder Pillay and Petra Andalee are both a little odd. Their intellectual curiosity and their unique hobbies fit right in, though, with their eccentric families and with their creative classmates at the University of Chicago Lab School. When three mysterious letters show up in their neighborhood and seem linked to the theft of a famous Vermeer painting, a chain of coincidences brings Calder and Petra together to help solve the crime.
First-time author Blue Balliett seems to enjoy playing with coincidences, both plausible and far-fetched, and the theme of chance and coincidence cleverly runs through the novel. The novel, with its high-profile crime of a well-known painting (secretly reproduced on the book underneath the dust jacket), also seeks to inspire young people to appreciate art as both dynamic and relevant to their lives. "Children were thinking about Vermeer, too. They were comparing, writing, and visiting museums with friends. Many said that they hadn't realized how cool old pictures could be."
The novel's illustrations breathe almost as much life into the book as the text does. Illustrator Brett Helquist (best known for illustrating Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events) includes a full-page illustration for each chapter. Pay attention! Some of the drawings reveal a secret that careful readers can help uncover.
With its emphasis on puzzle-solving, CHASING VERMEER is reminiscent of classic novels like THE WESTING GAME. Its focus on connections and coincidences will remind many of HOLES, and its art-related mystery calls to mind FROM THE SECRET FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER. In other words, CHASING VERMEER deserves a spot alongside many well-loved children's books. It's that good.
