Dear 100 Hour Board,
What do you do when you're feeling down and need a pick-me-up? It can be as simple or extravagant as you want.
-Rainbow connection
Dear prism,
It depends a lot on what's got me down. You feel me? I'll give you my of pick-me-ups along with when I typically use them:
- Take a walk: Walks are so therapeutic. My favorite time to take walks is late at night when I'm on campus. It's even better if it's snowing or lightly raining. Walks are my go to for steady breaks. Long walks are also my go to when I've got a tough decision In need to work through or need to clear my mind.
- Go for a drive and blast music: This is my go to for dating issues. There's something magical about going fast and jamming out that nothing else can do. Music is especially great cause it hits all the moods.
- Take a nap: I'm not typically a napper but man college is too good at disrupting my sleep. If there's not time to nap, then caffeine is a good substitute.
- Take a shower: Taking a shower is so nice after a long day. It feels great to have warm water washing over you. I also like the symbolism of washing troubles away. Showering is one of my favorites when I just have too much going on.
- Clean my room. I'm not the most organized person, but when I have a hard time organizing my thoughts I like to clean my room. Cleaning is also really great when things are out of control in my life because it's nice to be able to control something.
- Vent to someone: This is my go to when I'm frustrated or can't process my emotions. Just talking to someone does a good job of getting your feelings out, and the sympathy and support is really good to. If it's not too big of a deal I usually text my dad. If it's really bad I usually vent to my cousin Auto Surf. Shout out to her for being really good to vent to.
- Ice cream: This pretty much works for like anything. Ice cream is health food for the soul. Also, the sugar boost is great for when I'm low on energy. I'm a big fan of ice cream sundae's from the creamery, but if I'm stuck in the engineering building cosmic brownies are pretty good too. Passion fruit ice cream is literally the best ever a nd solves everything for me. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Thanks for asking this question. It's actually been really therapeutic to write about. Come to think of it writing for the 100 Hour Board is also pretty theraputic.
Dear Kermit (I thought I was super clever for calling you that, then I saw that Guesthouse did it first),
I have a few surefire ways to cheer myself up. These include, but are not limited to:
- Watching the Great British Baking Show on Netflix. Those people sure know how to bake. Also, there are usually some baby sheep that you get to see.
- Eating Chinese food. Now, I know that it's not super healthy to have food as one of the ways you reward yourself for getting through a bad day, but Panda Express is just too delicious for me to care. It's my go-to "special treat" meal.
- Painting my nails! Whether it's my toenails or my fingernails, having a pretty color on them always helps. Also, it's some good time that you can just take for yourself.
- Solo dance parties. Now... I'm not a very good dancer. I also love dancing. Solo dance parties are the solution to this conundrum. Bonus points if it's in the shower and you're straight up rocking out to some amazing music.
- If all else fails, I call my mom. I'm very lucky to have a mom that is very supportive and loving, and always encourages me. She's also flipping hilarious, and I love hearing about her daily hijinks.
-Quixotic Kid
Dear Kermit,
- Drink smoothies or eat popsicles. I don't know why.
- Stress bake. Especially bread. The kneading is therapeutic.
- Lay down and listen to music. Jason Mraz, George Winston, and the ol' classic Coldplay are my go-to's.
- Take a bath or shower. Baths involve bath bombs. Those things are freaking miraculous.
- Light a candle.
- Do the dishes, vacuum the floor, etc. Do something productive that I may have been neglecting.
- Cry. It's very effective.
- Talk it out with my boyfriend. Even if he's the one that upset me.
- Snuggle up in a soft blanket and watch comedy specials on Netflix / Youtube.
- Go visit my family. I have twin younger brothers who are like 3 and they're hilarious.
- Go for a run
Dear you,
Like Tipperary, it depends why I feel in need of cheering up. If I need to complain about a person or situation, I'll text a friend or call my mom and vent my feelings. If I don't want to share them with anyone just yet, I'll go for a walk and listen to my favorite playlist and try to sort everything out with vigorous thinking.
If I'm just feeling overall frustrated with life, I'll do something I usually don't let myself do, like buy something unnecessary or eat ice cream for breakfast or watch Netflix while I enjoy a hot bath.
And sometimes I just need a good cry. The moments where crying feels most therapeutic tend to align with my menstrual cycle, and crying my feelings out once a month somehow makes life much easier to handle.
If I'm feeling starved for physical touch, which I don't get very often because I'm particular about it, I'll hug my roommate's cat. He gets a lot of hugs and he has slowly learned to tolerate them. A dog would be preferable, but I work with what I have.
Dear Leprechaun,
I make myself some hot chocolate (legit hot chocolate from scratch--nothing from a mix) with cinnamon mixed in and pop popcorn (not from a bag, mind you, but stove top popcorn). Then I'll curl up under a blanket and read a good book while listening to my favorite music. This past semester I got really into podcasts, and now one of my favorite things to do to treat myself is listening to one (I tend to treat myself quite a lot in this regard). Other times, I'll get up super early and buy some of the first kolaches from the shop on Center Street. Finally, doing yoga and meditating is a huge stress-reliever for me.
When it comes to slightly more extravagant pick-me-ups, I buy a new book to read.
Dear Rainbow,
Like Tipperary, it depends on what's got me feeling down. But following is a list of things that I have used at some point or other when I'm down than tend to help me feel better.
- Write in my journal. Sometimes this means writing down everything that's upsetting me and getting it all out on paper, and sometimes it means making a list of things I'm grateful for despite what else may be less than ideal in my life.
- Call a friend just to talk.
- Drive up into the mountains to look at the view/drive aimlessly around/scream in my car.
- Scream in my car.
- Exercise as hard as I can.
- Read a book.
- Listen to music
- Light good smelling candles.
- Go for a walk.
- Write down everything that's stressing me out on individual pieces of paper, then burn each piece of paper.
- Eat something. As it turns out, a great deal of me being stressed out is really from me being hangry (or maybe I'm just less able to deal with stress when I'm hungry, who knows).
- Meditate.
- Watch my favorite TV shows, especially the light-hearted comedy ones.

Cartoon in the current issue of Australian Options, for Jim Stanford's article 'wage crisis has obvious solutions'.
Great cartoon, Simon, and right to the point!
Yes, sadly the best idea from the wrong person will always be ignored. And more sadly, it seems the voting public are now the wrong people, and the banks and other big businesses are the 'right' people.

IRS Tax Whistleblower Articles
Tax Court Amends Whistleblower Rules
Washington, D.C. (Oct. 14, 2008)
By WebCPA staff
The Tax Court has amended its rules of practice and procedure for whistleblower actions, making it easier for informants to keep their identities confidential.
The amendments were issued Oct. 3. One of the rules was amended to enhance privacy by requiring only an individual taxpayer's state of legal residence for venue purposes on a petition for additional disclosure, petition to restrain disclosure or petition to disclose identity. If the taxpayer resides in the District of Columbia or any commonwealth, territory or possession of the United States, or in any foreign country, the taxpayer should provide that information instead.
The court first issued its proposed rules for whistleblower actions on June 2, 2008, according to the Ferraro Law Firm, which represents a number of tax whistleblowers. Those rules did not specifically address the protection of an informant's identity. After public comment, including from Ferraro and the IRS, the court has acknowledged the importance of protecting an informant's identity and laid out the method for anonymous filings and filings under seal in its explanation to Rule 340.
Ferraro has filed whistleblower complaints amounting to an additional $3 billion of underpayments in several recent submissions to the IRS Whistleblower Office, bringing the firm's running total to more than $13 billion.

2007--The Year in Review
January and February were cold, as usual, so come March, we blew this place like a cheap flip flop. Miami where we met up with our wonderful friends Chrissy and Jess, San Juan, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten were our destinations of choice and life could not have been any better. This trip also introduced us to the wonderful world of diving.
The Summer of 2007 was a busy one, and we got to spend some time with friends, got to see my mom run her first 5K (I hope to join her this year), added a new little addition to our family (a bunny, not a person!), and got SCUBA certified.
Fall, as you know, was insane. I started graduate school, got my advanced dive certification in Portsmouth, MN, and, of course, finished up those last few months and before my wedding, including my last tea and krumpets with my girls. ;)
Which brings us to November and the biggest life event of the year (and our lives thus far)--our wedding. (I have my professional photos so a day three recap is coming soon!)
In December, we got the pleasure of enjoying some VERY expensive Executive Suite hockey tickets for the biggest game of the year. Unfortunately, we lost, but it was fun anyway (hello--there was free booze!). ;)
Then, it was off to our super fabulous honeymoon in Playa del Carmen (recap from that coming soon too!)
Immediately upon our return, we headed north for Christmas with my family, and on 12/29, my parents hosted a reception locally so that we could celebrate with friends and family who were unable to make the trip to the wedding. I don't have any pictures yet, but as soon as I do, I promise to share. :)
2008 promises to be an exciting and well-traveled year--A look-ahead coming soon!
Hope you all had a very happy and blessed holiday season and thank you for sharing your internet time with me! I have lots of super fabulous travel info saved up to share with you!

Effective Leadership
I recently enjoyed the privilege of speaking to an inspiring group of young people at Plan International Uganda's SmartUp factory. I delivered a presentation on Effective Leadership and shared my story as co-founder and president of Nested Savings. I have modified my notes from that presentation into this blog post.
My definition of leadership: Leadership is about making a change. It is about deciding that the status quo in a particular area – healthcare, technology, development, politics, family, etc. – can be better, and then embarking on a journey characterized by relentless effort to disrupt that status quo."
Here are a few traits that characterize all effective leaders:
They step up: A few years ago, I attended a workshop focused on crisis management. During the session, the gentleman sitting behind me fainted and went thundering to the floor. It was a real life test of our ability to apply the skills we had learned just moments before. Interestingly, although everyone in that room was a self-proclaimed leader, most of us backed away from the gentleman in crisis. A friend of mine, Joey, acted differently. He rushed to the floor and turned the gentleman on his side, instructed someone to call the medics, and started assuring the guy that he was going to be okay. Among a room full of leaders, only Joey took swift action. Interestingly, once he stepped up, I felt inspired to do something as well. So I started moving chairs to create space for the medics. Other people also started taking action. Some helped with the chairs, others comforted those who were emotionally shaken by the incident, etc. This incident was a great depiction of what it means to step up as a leader and how stepping up can inspire others to take action.
They enroll others: Every effective leader understands the importance of surrounding him or herself with a team that persists through challenges, is creative in the execution of tasks, and comprises of members whose character, attitudes and values promote cooperation inside and outside the workplace. An important point of which many leaders are unaware is the distinction between hiring and enrolling people. Hired people are those whose primary motivation is their salary and benefits whereas enrolled people are those who work on a team because they believe in the leader's vision. Hired people typically do what they're told to do, check assignment boxes, and start looking forward to going home as soon as they arrive at work. Enrolled people on the other hand, due to their familiarity with, and enthusiasm about the vision, might work for free and frequently offer suggestions of creative new ways in which the vision can be pursued. They are the ones who stick around during tough times. Effective leaders are skilled at enrolling people.
They take responsibility: On the journey to success, things will inevitably go wrong. Effective leaders are those who lead the way on the path to finding solutions for problems. The typical boss is quick to exercise authority, assign blame, and say, "Go fix it!" whereas an effective leader often shares the blame and says, "let's go fix it!" Perhaps the most striking thing about effective leaders is that even when they take responsibility for solving problems, they find ways to shine the spotlight on other team members. Giving people credit for their work is the best way to motivate them to do more. A team member who is enthusiastic about taking on new challenges is one who can never be paid enough money or given enough benefits.
They understand the difference between failing and being a failure: Effective leaders possess sufficient persistence to create new plans to take the place of those that fail. Study the image below.
They are willing to serve: The world's most effective leaders are those who understand that they exist to serve their employees/team members, and their customers/clients. Lousy leaders often feel entitled to respect and admiration simply because they created jobs, products, and services. While there is some pride to be enjoyed for doing those things, effective leaders are careful not to let that pride overshadow their humility. They invest considerable time and effort in ensuring that those they work with, especially their employees and team members, are happy. In Richard Branson's words, "clients do not come first; employees do. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients." Effective leaders put their team members' needs first and worry about the bottom line later.
Some questions from the audience:
Q: What is the biggest benefit of being a leader?
A: You learn something new every day.
Q: What is your favorite book?
A: Good to Great by Jim Collins.
Q: What if you're ready to be a leader but there are no opportunities?
A: Attract what you want by being what you want. Go volunteer somewhere and be an opportunity for someone else. If you want a great opportunity, be a great opportunity.
Concluding thought: There is no such thing as a genuine leader who is "too busy" to do anything which may be required of him in his capacity as leader. When a man admits that he is "too busy" to change his plans, or to give attention to any emergency, he admits his inefficiency. – Napoleon Hill.
Thanks for reading! Now go forth and be an effective leader!

There was famine in the land. The children of Israel went to Egypt in search of food. Because their brother Joseph was the second in command and in charge of food, they settled in Egypt. Over time, they became numerous and a new king who did not know about Joseph oppressed them ruthlessly. They were in slavery for 400 years. During this time, they were subjected to all kinds of cruelty and hard labor. Their conditions were so bad that the Israelites cried out to the Lord. The Lord heard their cries and was concerned about them.
So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them (Exodus 2:25).
What motivated God to be concerned?
Love…..The same love that motivates Him to be concerned about you and me. A recent event reminded me of how God cares for me through others.
Our part of the state does not usually get a lot of snow. However, this winter has been unusual with three snow storms in less than 3 weeks. On this particular day, my husband came home from work and told me that there were some trash bags on the ground near my car. My initial thought was that some neighborhood kids playing in the snow left them there. Then I asked my youngest daughter if she knew anything about the bags.
She said, "Yes, I placed them there in the morning when I heard it was going to snow again." I did not want you to fall when you go to drive to work. In addition to laying the bags on the ground and securing them with bricks, she cleared my windshield. However, I did not leave the house that day because more snow expected so I did not see the bags until much later. Our drive way is on a slope and I have fallen many times when we have had bad weather. On several occasions this winter, she watched me from the front door as I made my way down our treacherous driveway to my car. Her actions were out of concern for my safety. I was moved by her love.
My daughter's care and concern reminded me of God's love for his children. He is concerned about you and me.
He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber (Psalm 121:3).
Friend, do you know that everything that concerns you concerns the Lord?
Father, I am grateful for your love and for the individuals through whom you show me your love. Thank you for caring for me so deeply, in Jesus Name. Amen.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; You are more valuable than many sparrows (Matthew 10:30-31).

So my family bought a BAB (big ass boat) before thinking about how they were going to tow it. The boat and trailer weigh 6200 lbs dry, which is in the annoying grey area between a light duty vehicle and a full size one. Case in point, I have a Gx470 with a 6500 lb tow rating, my brother has a Tacoma with a 6500 lb tow rating. We both LEGALLY can tow the boat so long as we stay in the payload limits. But would you tow the limit 150 miles over mountain passes?
Specific question made generic - Whats your safe margin of error for tow ratings? Would you feel safe towing the limit? or would you always give a, say, 15% margin? Typically I like to stay about 1500 lbs under the limit, that seems to be where a tow vehicle is happiest. but what about you?

Global mindset.
Sustainable future.
Production may be the final step of the process; but that makes it no small feat. In today's global economy production takes place all over the world. It's here that the work towards sustainability that was developed through Investigation comes to fruition. Taking the time upfront to source the fabrics and discover the factories that comprise a brands resources is just one way to address the ethics of design.
Cultivating the right people, teams and styles of work that comprise the Process; ensures in a diverse way of thinking through sustainability.
The careful planing and exacting timeline that drive's the Process comes to a head as the lines start going. The process is in place to ensure seamless production of the garments that the designer and brand believe in and that speak to the consumer.
Successful partnerships with Product Developers, Buyers and factories as well as the careful management of the Design Team is what makes for a successful process, collection and brand.
When all the right pieces fit together.
All of a sudden the Designer, Brand, Consumer and The Process itself, stops to take a moment.
The cycle has come to an end. Merchandisers and Buyers have placed their orders. Deliveries are arriving. Now is the time to let go.
Now the process begins anew; as perfection has not been achieved. There will always be something that could have been done a bit better. However, the human aspect of the process will always give a collection the slightest hint of a person's hand. It's here that the process strives anew with the purpose to achieve something greater; just waiting for the spark.

Join Chris Nodder for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating personas, part of UX Design: 1 Overview.
- [Instructor] Personas are imaginary yet realistic…and detailed descriptions of the users of your product.…They provide a basis for design discussions…by concentrating many pieces of user data…into key focused, believable descriptions…of your primary audience.…Creating personas gives the team a shorthand way…of describing who they're building things for.…Rather than saying "the user," which could mean anyone,…they focus on some set characters with specific attributes,…means that the product development takes…those personas' needs into account.…
Personas let the whole team get on the same page.…By creating an explicit persona,…you make the concept of the user concrete…rather than elastic.…That way the whole team is developing…for a common set of user attributes,…which leads to creating a much more consistent interface.…Even if the persona you create is slightly different…from reality, users will much prefer a consistent interface…over an inconsistent one.…
Join Chris Nodder as he provides a road map to his series, UX Design Techniques. Each technique in this series builds on the data and output from the previous techniques. The user data from observations is used to identify user pain points and create personas. The pain points and personas are used during the ideation phase to create multiple possible solutions. Scenarios and storyboards take these multiple possible solutions and narrow them down to a working set, from which you build a paper prototype that you can usability test with some more representative users. At any point, you can follow the trail all the way back to data you gathered from your initial observations.

- Following the data trail
- Getting your team on board
- Analyzing user data

A few weeks back I saw that there was an event called the Tesla Project at an east side studio... so we loaded into the car one Saturday and went. The cars on display were privately owned and were fun to look at but not touch. Also there were artist studios, FUN... we went in and out of several - then I spotted her - Karen Woodward - a fellow glassie that I'd met about 10 years ago in Missouri! We had crossed paths here about 3 or 4 years ago as well... but this was cool.
Glassdaddy & Karen Woodward
Karen lives rather close by, and has stopped in to buy glass from Glassdaddy - so this was cool us both being there to say hello to her. I LOVE what she does with glass - I mean, how much emotion can you pack into a little lump of glass?
Karen has a way with whimsical. She sculpts.
I also admire sculpture, and the amazing use of bright eye-popping color! Who knows where this type of inspiration will lead me... but at least you now know who to "blame"!

Okay, before you skip right down to the comments section to talk smack, know this: We get it, ghosts don't exist. We know about the fear frequency and how certain infrared sounds can freak you the f*ck out. We understand how some buildings are (probably accidentally) built in ways that favor low magnetic fields and, coupled with the low frequencies, seem to attract strange phenomena.
Or as Stephen King put it…
Hotel rooms are just naturally creepy places. … I mean, how many people have slept in that bed before you? How many of them were sick? How many were losing their minds? How many were perhaps thinking about reading a few final verses from the Bible in the drawer of the nightstand beside them and then hanging themselves in the closet beside the TV?
Thanks, Mr. King. Now we know what we'll be thinking every time we stay in a hotel room for the rest of the month.
Below, you'll find a selection of hotels from around the world that have made their bank on the paranormal, the psychic, and the downright ghoulish. Let's take it as a bit of fun and thrill-seeking and leave the ghost busting to the professionals.

Even if the exclusive licenses only applied to a single clearly defined patent, and no patent was ever licensed twice, there could still be problems. That's because approved patents overlap with each other, and sometimes are almost identical. Matt Flaschen

Are you looking for a unique place to hang out with friends over the summer? Maybe you think the bar scene of downtown Athens has become overrated with a nasty smell of old Burnett's shots scattered across the floor. The pool is always a fun atmosphere, but rain is a frequent occurrence throughout the summer, so why not try something new and creative?
ARTini's is the place you want to be. Its location on West Broad Street allows you to continue to experience the popular nightlife of downtown Athens without the crowds. ARTini's is exactly what it sounds like and a business that specializes in art and alcohol.
"It's time to do something I love every day, and it's time to use the gift I was given to give back," says Kate Cook, ARTini's owner/artist instructor. "It excites me to share art and bring it to everyone."
ARTini's is not just a business, but also a passion. Once you step inside, you will realize the hard work that Cook puts in for everyone to feel the same way as she does about art.
"I thought ARTini's was a great combination of fun and chill with a side of cat[s]," says Ridley Griggs, a graduate student majoring in health policy and management from Cornelia.
ARTini's is not just filled with paintbrushes, canvases and a lounge. Cats roam the place too. Penelope is one of the two cats that meet you at the door as you walk in. The cats are friendly and enjoy helping you paint, putting their little paws into the paint water. It is the perfect place to make some new furry friends.
The instructors are all very encouraging and take you step by step with every stroke and color of paint. The paint, brushes and canvases are all included in the cost. You don't even have to clean up before leaving. The instructors use acrylic paint that dries very quickly, so you can take your painting home that same night. Then, when your beautiful painting is hanging on the wall, all of your friends will wonder, "How did you do that?" ARTini's is a great place to show off your skills and abilities to everyone at home.
"I felt like I really did learn something," says Sarah Ellen Williams, a junior biology major from Macon. "I would definitely go back and bring my mom because she would love it because it has her two favorite things: painting and wine."
ARTini's is great for when your parents and siblings make a visit. The atmosphere is better with a group because it is fun comparing each other's paintings as the process goes along. People of all ages can enjoy painting and the process takes about two hours, which can then turn into a full night of fun. A girl's night is definitely recommended at ARTini's.
"If you're looking for a chill place with cool beer and air conditioning, it's the right place," says Sami Netherton, a junior biology major from Alpharetta. "Plus, the free cups at the end were awesome for bringing to the pool."
So next time you and your friends are bored or just looking for something new and fun to do, go check ARTini's out, play with some adorable cats and even get a souvenir. Your time will not be wasted and you will be wondering why you hadn't visited this place sooner.

Back At It
This week has afforded me some extra energy and tolerance for the freezing temps in my garage workshop. So, I have been able to work on some copper projects and ideas I've had kicking around in my head. I promised pictures of my etching work a while back and never got around to showing them, so here ya go!
Done with a cheapie rubber stamp and ferric chloride, this image is HUGE (2") and I LOVE it! I particularly adore the hammered look it has after I domed it on my leather sandbag that I covered with a piece of acrylic fleece. It's been pickled, but not patinated yet.
And this is what happens when you leave a piece out exposed to air that has been in contact with the ferric chloride. I love the green and copper, but it's a thick layer of dust, essentially, so I couldn't keep most of it. Must play around with this some more...
I mentioned in my last post (I think) about a silent auction fundraiser I am going to donate some work to. This is the preliminary work. Sawn copper leaves for a pendant and earrings that I etched (again with ferric chloride), and then formed. Also not patinated as yet in this photo.
Some foldforming experiments. Not my favorite, and I think I am not annealing things enough, or using too heavy a gauge sheet metal, but all in all, not terrible. Earrings, or some dangle charms here.
And finally, working on some valentine's and heart-themed stuff. Hand sawn, formed, embellished. Love!
So, what are you working on this year so far??

Wow - I love all the pieces. I especially love the etched copper tree and the leaves. Fantastic! I have been meaning to try etching again but I have not got around to it but I think I will add that to my to do list for this year. Thanks for sharing!

Those leaves just rock the house! Are you just using ferric acid and not some fancy schmancy set up?

You've been a busy bee...everything looks great! I love the colors of the "left out" piece of copper, too bad it couldn't be saved:( The leaves are totally cool! All the sawing...ugh! and the fold formed pieces look cool too. I've been experimenting with fold forming too, using 24 gauge. It's probably a little too heavy, as I'm having problems with the unfolding and then forming it. But it's all good:)

Love these pieces! Even the colorful "mistake"!!
On my way to a bead show so I'm hoping to find some yummies to use for Valentine's Day :)
Thanks for your sweet comments regarding my flood. So glad that's over with! I got stuff to make :)

I'm really impressed at how you are growing in your art. I love the tree and the leaves. Are you going to enamel the heart?
- January 8, 2011 at 9:39 AM
- Christine said...
Thanks, all, for your lovely comments!
@Lori: Yep, just a bottle of circuit board etchant and a little time and rubber gloves. Simple, doesn't etch silver, but I like it so far.
@Shelby: I love to saw, I've discovered. Very zen. I'm having the same problems as you with the foldforming. I've promised myself I'll buy the book on it soon as I can.
@Kitty: I would like to enamel the heart, but I used hairspray on a first attempt and it was awful. I need to get some Klyr-Fire. :)

I Love them all! They are fabulous. I can't wait to see the tree pendant with patina and then I think you need to sell it to me. I haven't fallen in love with something like that in at least a week. LOL. You are making me want to get out all my copper supplies and play too!
PS My word verification came up as "bitin" and yes I have been bittin by the copper bug! and PS again I really mean it- I want to buy to tree!!

City Manager Tim Klunder explained acceptance of a bid will probably take place at city council's March 20 meeting.
Plans for a "living street" in Zeeland are moving forward, with bids for the project going out in the next few weeks.
City Manager Tim Klunder explained acceptance of a bid will probably take place at city council's March 20 meeting.
The plans include the development of a "woonerf" from Cherry to Main Street. This means it's designed so all users — bikers, pedestrians and cars — share the right of way. Snowmelt will be installed on that part of the street. Also included is eliminating parking on the west side of Elm in the same area, creation of a one-way on Elm and the reconstruction of several blocks.
Costs associated with the total project are about $1.2 million excluding water, sanitary sewer and electric.
"We have not gotten any indication that (costs) are outside of the scope," Klunder said.
The woonerf treatment of the road is only going to be on the block in front of City Hall, though the one-way has a larger reach, extending from Lincoln to Main streets, with traffic flowing northbound.
City staff also met with residents who own part of the property on the corner of Elm and Cherry — plans for a park across from City Hall show the city going over property lines with the adjoining owners. An agreement for leasing from the owners has not been reached, but Klunder previously said their willingness to lease has been "positive." The park portion of the project ranges between $250,000 and $275,000 in estimated costs.
For the project, $25,000 was committed from the Board of Public Works for 2018, said Zeeland Marketing Director Abigail deRoo. Grant funding has been submitted for $40,000.
"We're chipping away at some of the funding for the concept," she said.
Though parts of construction will be completed at different times, it is all being bid as one project.
On the woonerf area, some trees will be planted, and heavy movable planters will be placed along the street, which will not have a curb. deRoo said with the purchase of portable bike racks last number, some could be moved to the Elm Street park.
Klunder said the hope will be to do the woonerf as soon as the weather permits it, to be in and out quickly. He said the park could be done in early June, with the intent to minimize construction during busy times at the nearby splash pad.
Reconstruction of outer blocks will likely begin when school is out for summer, to not interfere with bus routes, he said.

Description of problem:
Doesn't boot with strict enforcing (sorry, but doesn't get far enough
to save the log messages).
After repairing file-system, I booted in strict/permissive mode.
Hordes of messages, but the system boots.
/var/log/messages of permissive boot attached below. I notice a NULL
pointer issue very early in boot process
[It seems that the initrd is about 3.5 x larger than previous
versions. Is initialization now being run off of the initrd (like
udev, e.g.)?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install .525
2. boot
Additional info:
Created attachment 102954 [details]
log of strict-permissive boot of .525 kernel
Looks like this is udev related, and udev is not properly supported
yet. Not sure where the kernel oopses are coming from. What is the
boot log when you boot with selinux=0?
Created attachment 102958 [details]
.525 boot with selinux=0
Boot log with selinux=0. Still see the NULL pointer problem.....
that problem should be fixed in 526 which is in rawhide tomorrow
(I'd upload it to people.redhat.com but the machine for that has had a
ups failure ;( )
Created attachment 102970 [details]
boot log of .526 strict/permissive boot
.526 no longer produces NULL pointer issues, but it still fails badly.
Boot up in strict/enforcing mode runs for about 15 seconds, produces scads of
messages (mostly avc messages), and the automagically reboots before the boot
log is saved.
Booting in strict/permissive mode (i.e., enforcing=0) 'works', but produces a
constant stream of messages.
Boot log of strict/permissive mode attached here.
Created attachment 102972 [details]
'ls -l /dev'
.526 strict/permissive seems to be have 'created' a new /dev, with all of the
entries missing SELinux labels. I did a 'setfiles -vv $FC /dev' just prior to
boot this up, so I know there were labels prior to boot.
Also, this 'new' /dev seems to be missing a few entries, like /dev/microcode
and /dev/cpu/...
I attach an 'ls -l /dev'. (dates are funny 'Aug 22 05:06' for many of them.
Are these coming from the initrd?)
.532 boots!
Boots up both in strict/enforcing and strict/permissive.
[Graphical login doesn't quite work with enforcing, but looks to be
not a kernel problem.]
In strict/permissive mode, looks like modules are loaded: sound works
(Realplay app is streaming music :) )

Actress Devika Bhise in "The Man Who Knew Infinity"
Mumbai, April 13 - Hollywood actress of Indian origin, Devika Bhise, who's getting rave reviews for her power-packed performance in upcoming biographical drama, The Man Who Knew Infinity, which is based on the life of mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan, says that she wouldn't mind doing a Bollywood film, provided she gets the right script.
Indian-American Hollywood Actress Devika Bhise
The actress, who plays Ramanujan's wife Janaki in the movie, is quite intrigued with Bollywood and wouldn't mind doing a Hindi film. When asked, if she would want to work in a Bollywood film, Devika Bhise said, "Bollywood is such an interesting place and the roles and the movies that are being created, have definitely changed over the last couple of years and are continuing to change so, I think, if I get the right project, I would definitely want to do that. As of now, I haven't read any script that I have loved."

When asked to name a Bollywood actor she would want to work with, the actress said, "There are a lot of great Bollywood actors but I think one of the problems is that these actors accept every role that they get and as a result, they do roles after roles, instead of immersing themselves into their characters. Aamir Khan, I think is an amazing actor and he is choosy about his roles. Everything that I have watched him in, he has done an excellent job and therefore, I would like to work with him. Hrithik Roshan too is a great actor and he is also very handsome (laughs)."
Actress Devika Bhise
When quizzed about the Indian directors she aspires to work with, Bhise said, "I would love to work with Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra."
Devika Bhise and Dev Patel in "The Man Who Knew Infinity"
An Edward R. Pressman/Animus Films production in association with Cayenne Pepper Productions, The Man Who Knew Infinity, starring Dev Patel, Jeremy Irons, Devika Bhise, Stephen Fry, Toby Jones and Arundhati Nag, has been written and directed by Matthew Brown and is slated to release, in English and Tamil, on April 29, 2016.

Up Next
Transforming how young Americans engage with the government.
Roles: Product Manager, UX Lead, Researcher
The White House wanted to create a centralized portal to help more young Americans get connected with the federal programs designed to help them, like federal student aid, and healthcare.
We conducted user research with high school and college students across the country, and partnered with the Department of Education and Federal Student Aid to better understand the programs offered.
- 88% of teens have a cell phone or smartphone
- 90% of those with phones exchange text messages
- 30 is the typical number of texts teens receive per day
- 92% of teens go online every day
Surprisingly, awareness of the programs wasn't the issue. Students knew "how to google," as they put it. The challenge was sifting through massive amounts of information to find a real answer.
Images created by Nour Tabet
Realizing that a portal wasn't needed, we created an SMS messaging service called Up Next with the purpose of reminding students what to do, how to do it and—most importantly—when.
All a user needs is a mobile number to sign up. Then, after answering a few simple questions, Up Next does the rest. When it's time for a task to be completed, a text is sent to the user's phone. Each text links the user to details on Up Next's responsive, Drupal-driven website. The page explains what the task is, why it's important and how to get it done.
To date, Up Next is the first anticipatory text-based digital service from the Federal government.
Up Next was received well by students and had over fifty thousand registrations within three months. Unfortunately, the service was discontinued at the end of the Obama administration.
