Huntsville and The Economy
Huntsville, Alabama is not only a great place to live but it has been recognized in national magazines as such. The nations's economy has been hit hard over the last two years and we have witnessed the fallout across the United States. Not since the depression have we seen such a shaking of the financial institutions of our country. Luckily, it would appear that Huntsville, itself, has escaped much of the economic collapse we have seen in other parts of our the U.S.. With BRAC becomining a greater reality, it is likely Huntsville may even experience an economic boom within the next few years. However, now is not the time for jubillation as things can still change. Local and state leaders must adopt some well-thought economic policies to help guide the city through the depths of the current recession.

A word of caution here; don't install an invisible dog fence in your front yard. I have seen many homes that have installed these invisible fences in their front yards. This is an amazing advancement in barrier construction and design, but it has no place being in your front yard. I like to take walks at night and have come across many homes that have viscous looking dogs standing in their front yard. As with any dog, they snarl, bark, and growl every time I walk by the home. Some even like to sprint towards me as if they were ready to take a bite out of my a_ _. As a property owner or renter, or whatever, it is your responsibility to maintain a safe premise. If I were to step into your front yard not knowing that a vicious dog was there, within this invisible fence, and get bitten by the dog, I could sue. Most of these homes that do have their pet dogs fenced in the front yard do not have any warning that there is a potential risk of a pet. If your pet must be in the front yard, perhaps a posted sign acknowledging that a dog is fenced in would help to reduce your liability. Always keep in mind that you must do your best as a home owner or renter to ensure that your property is safe in the event that someone steps onto your property. An ounce of prevention goes a long way in protecting yourself from a lawsuit.
Should the minimum teen driving age be increased across the country? This is a question that has plagued many of us for several years now. I am a parent and I am becoming more and more concerned with this question as my children become older. The driver's age in many states for obtaining a driver's license is 16 years old. This of course varies from state to state. Each state has its own set of laws that governs the age requirements for a driver's license. Some states have certain restrictions for the driver's once a license has been granted and an unrestricted license can only be granted once the driver reaches a certain age or number of hours driven, etc.
Countless accidents occur year after year due to the result of inexperienced, immature drivers on the road. To drive a motor vehicle a certain level of maturity and responsiveness is needed. Furthermore, a certain level of mental capacity is needed to help anticipate the outcome of a driving decision. At what age do we consider an individual to be mature enough to put their own lives in their hands or even that of others?
Let's work to make our roads safer and reduce the number of traffic accidents and personal injury cases by revisiting these minimum driving ages. What can we do to protect our children on our roads? This is a serious issue that now plagues our society. Countless deaths occur each year that could be reduced if we were to revisit the driving age requirement.

Definition of Brandon
For our first assignment in EDTECH 504, I had to write a definition of Educational Technology. My definition and reasoning are pasted below.
Before I started taking classes at BSU, I thought of Educational Technology as the hardware and software that was used in class. I viewed the tools that we had available as being what technology is. Learning about educational technology, then, meant learning about what tools were available, and learning how to use the tools I had more efficiently.
My definition of Educational Technology has grown over the last couple of months, though. Now, my working definition needs to include how a teacher can set up the learning environment to be most beneficial. The tools of educational technology are still there, but the focus has shifted to the whole learning environment instead of just the use of tools. Creating and managing the learning environment in new and different ways is something that educational technology allows us to do. As Hlynka and Jacobsen (2009) pointed out, these different jobs have historically been done by different people. Textbook writers created content, teachers managed the classroom, and students did the work. Now, teachers can curate their own content, or students can find their own content, and so on. The roles can blend together through the use of educational technology..

Monsters University Story
Monsters University is a 3D computer-animated comedy film. Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scareraand he knows better than anyone that the best scarers come from Monsters University .
But during his first semester at Monsters University, Mikes plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan - Sulley (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pairs out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program.
To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

Another bogey at the sixth moved her to 2-over but she would birdie the eighth to get back to 1-over. Starting with nine, she would par the next eight holes before she bogeyed the 17th but ended the round with a birdie at the par-five 18th to shoot even par on the back nine.
She will start the second round on Tuesday just three shots off the lead in a tie for third place.
Carianne Wright shot a 3-over par 75 as she is tied for eighth place.
Elisa Axelsen is 6-over and tied for 19th place along with Caroline Beebe. Ingrid Hagen is 7-over tied for 21st.
Troy currently leads the team standings at +3 with Texas State in second place at +12 and USA is tied with Arkansas-Little Rock at +16. Georgia State is +24 in fifth place, Western Kentucky and Lousiana-Monroe are tied for 6th with +28 and Arkansas State is in the eighth and final place at +30.

Check out this Groot cosplay heavily inspired by Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy movie. It's not even done yet, and it's already shaping up to be one hell of an outfit. The head is pretty much done, while everything else still needs some work. I was thinking in my head that this must be a cosplay for Dragon*Con, and yes, I'm right, it is. Dragon*Con is a geek convention that brings out the best in Cosplay.
Here's what Cosplayer Hurleyfx had to say about the process:
Holy groot balls, we did it, 2 of us, 400lb approx of 5'5 groot leg mould.
i have sore hands, i am bruised, bleeding and my back and knees hate me. But thanks to my partner in crime Lauren we are past the mould stage of being worried. Granted it is not the prettiest of moulds, but i am severely on the clock now, and time waits for no man. anyway, here is the destruction of our apartment ( yes for those who may not know this is all being build in a 1 bedroom apartment, well what was the dining/living room )

Road bikes tend to have a more aggressive riding position and narrow tire width. Their geometry is more aerodynamic, which enables you to maintain higher average speeds and cover more ground quicker.
Many race and triathlon riders look for speed when choosing a road bike, so the lighter the bike, the better. If you're more interested in comfort than speed, a fitness or hybrid bike model may be a better choice for you.

An article on the AsiaOne website cites a news item that originally appeared in the Huaxi Metropolis Daily, reporting that "a robot is being designed to compete with 12th graders during the college entrance examination in 2017 and get a score qualifying it to enter first-class universities in China."
Indeed, in the caption of the photo used as the featured image for this post, the robot is identified by name as "Humanoid robot Jiajia." And near the end of the article, this robot and others are described as if they are students setting challenging personal goals: "The robot is reportedly trying to qualify for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University in 2020, and its counterpart in Japan is eyeing Tokyo University in 2020."
Lin Hui, Lin Hui, CEO of an artificial intelligence company in Chengdu, has announced that the "robot will sit three exams, namely math, Chinese and a comprehensive test of liberal arts, which includes history, politics and geography": "Like the other examinees, the robot will have to finish the exams during designated periods. Unlike the usual scene that sees 30 students sit in an exam room, the robot will take its exams in a closed room without anyone else present, except for proctors and a notary. . . . The robot will be linked to a printer before every exam, and the electronic examination paper will be put into the robot's programme when the examination begins. The robot will be totally disconnected from the internet and will solve the problems with its artificial intelligence programme. Finally the answers will be outputted through the printer."
Lin has acknowledged that "Chinese and a comprehensive test of liberal arts, rather than maths, will pose challenges to the robot, since questions in maths are objective with specific answers, while in the other test subjects, there are some subjective questions, such as the reading comprehension and essay-writing."
Lin has noted, however, that "robot writing technique nowadays has been increasingly mature. With key information words, a robot can write an economic news report following the widely-accepted writing mode in Silicon Valley, while nobody could tell it was written by a robot. . . . From this point of view, the robot can analyse the topic of the writing session and complete writing. Though the essay may turn out to be an emotionless piece, that slightly affects the grade."
The obvious irony is, of course, that much of this news report reads as if it were produced by a robot, or by a digital translator. And who knows, perhaps it was.
I can understand why this sort of challenge would be enticing to developers of artificial intelligence, but having robots take the entrance tests blurs a very fundamental distinction between the robots and actual students: namely, even in the least ideal college classroom, students are in some sense actively engaged in the learning process whereas the robots are passively programmed by someone to simulate learning. We are still a very long way from the robots of science fiction who have become capable of independent thinking and real feeling. And that means that anything more than a primitive approximation of the very significant and complex emotional dimensions of learning is still a long way off.
So, these sorts of developments serve, both explicitly and implicitly, to reinforce several damaging but increasingly prevalent notions about higher education:
1. Education is treated as if it were an accumulation of skills, rather than the ability to imagine how skills might be applied in meeting needs and resolving issues. To provide just one very simple example, automation has now replaced many of the production workers in our factories, but there are still high-paying jobs for those who can maintain the robots, who can diagnose the reasons for malfunctions and make needed repairs, and who can program the robots to perform new tasks.
2. Knowledge is treated as the accumulation of information and processing of information. But knowledge is actually the ability to synthesize information in a meaningful way by recognizing subtleties and by recognizing connections that might generally be dismissed counterintuitive. Knowledge is the ability to engage in both critical and creative thinking—and, optimally, to do so simultaneously.
3. Language is treated as largely denotative when most communication is actually connotative. Likewise, although the worldwide reach of the Internet has made American English something close to a universal, standard language, there is much evidence that the variations in national, regional, and even local dialects of English are becoming more, rather than less, pronounced. So the demands on those communicating across geographic and cultural boundaries are likely to increase, rather than to decrease.
Indeed, the appeal—the political reach–of such damaging notions about learning will be all the more apparent if one considers how much faith has been put in the automation of teaching—in the idea that students can engage as fully and as effectively with a "digital learning platform" as with an actual teacher.

Whipped vanilla custard is best served with kisel (kee-'sel). Kisel, made with berry cordial and starch, is one of the oldest Russian dishes ever. It's soothing and extremely healthy.
- Yield
- 4-6 servings
- 1/2 l whole milk (3.5% fat or so)
- 2 eggs, cooled and yolks/whites separated
- 1/2 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2/3 tsp vanilla sugar
- 1 1/2 cup wild cranberries
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 100g potato starch
- 1.8 l filtered water + 100 ml cold water
- MAKING THE CUSTARD: In a bowl, mix flour and 250ml milk. Beat the mix until it's thin and runny like a crepe batter. Beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar and 2/3 tsp vanilla sugar until pale. Set aside. In a saucepan, bring to boil the remaining milk. Just as the milk starts to boil, add in the milk&flour mix while stirring. Add in egg yolks&sugar. Keep stirring vigorously to break up large lumps. Smaller lumps might remain; we use a blender to get rid of them after the custard is ready. Simmer the custard for a couple of minutes, stirring all of the time, until it thickens. Set aside. Add remaining sugar to cooled egg whites and whip them until thick and firm. It's time you use a blender to break up small lumps in the custard, if any. When the custard is smooth and creamy, add in the whipped egg whites and stir together gently. Leave to cool for approximately 3 hours. MAKING THE KISEL: Rinse and crush the cranberries. Place crushed berries into a saucepan and add sugar. Pour 1.8 l boiling water over the cranberries, keep them on high heat until bubbles appear, then bring heat to medium low and keep the mix boiling gently for about 10 minutes. The colour of crushed berry skins will fade as they boil, and you can stop whenever you feel like the berries have given all of their juices and flavour. In the meantime, dissolve the starch in 100ml cold water. When cranberry mix is ready, pass it through a sieve to get rid of berry skins and return the hot cordial into the saucepan. Keep it on medium low heat and slowly pour in the starch mix. This is the crucial moment and you've got to keep stirring kisel as you add more starch, and stir well afterwards. The better you stir the better the texture of your kisel will be. After you've added starch, just bring kisel to boil. Remove from heat and leave to cool. A thin skin might appear on the surface of kisel after it's cooled, just remove it!

A late rise, and a heavy breakfast under our belts, and still the rain persisted. Three days of being covered with sika, and now we were covered in rain. Around noon it let up enough that we went to determine the outcome of my shot. Four men, 2 dogs, and an hour scouring later we could no evidence whatsoever of a wounded or dead stag. For some that would be a sigh of relief, but for me it left me quite unsettled. I told Malcolm I was done stalking. Fortunately, he was a wiser than I figured I needed to get back on the horse that bucked me, but with the caveat Reds only.
We used the mid-day to visit the game dealer in Ardgay, which was an eye opener for me. In the United States, the sale of venison unless farm/pen raised is strictly illegal. When I mentioned this to the dealer he gave me an extensive tour (which would make its own write up). He showed me pallets, yes pallets, of vacuum packed red grouse headed to Norway. He mentioned that the stags were just starting to come in, and with ours included he had 6 on the hook.
That evening, while Mark and Scott went out to their preferred spot, while I took an unarmed walk to the moors to collect my thoughts. While rambling through I came within 30 yards of a young 6 pt sika that was as surprised as I. After a short stare down he headed to the other side of the bern. I decided to leave the path and head uphill through the heather. This resulted in kicking up a pair of grouse. On topping the hill I spied a decent congregation of Red Hinds, with one young stag trying to act the harem lead. With my soul more at rest I returned to the cottage for the evening meal.
Friday morning dawned with the first frost, present only on windscreens and low ground, but frost nonetheless. Malc decided we should visit JayBs piece of timber, but this was uneventful. We knocked off early and made a trip to the Tesco in Tain. This gave me a chance to load up on items to take home (my eldest daughter attended University in Oxford and developed some particular tastes that are unavailable outside the UK).
Friday evening I sat the highseat. It was a pleasant but fruitless sit, with the only visible living creatures in the vicinity being a bat and several million midges. There was one redeeming moment though and that was proof that a thermacell works against midges. For those that dont know what I am talking about, a thermacell is a portable device, about the size of a flask of whiskey. It uses butane to heat a pesticide soaked pad to make a cloud funnel that kills and repels insects. We could not have hunted bear in Canada without them for the blackflies, and they work just as well against midges. In the high seat I was able to remove my face mask and observe a cloud of the little monsters held at bay perhaps 3 feet above my head.
Brother Scott and Mark spent the evening back along the moor where I had taken my previous walk about. They came in chattering with excitement, having seen several excellent Sika stags, including a 10 pt that they were certain was Gold. Unfortunately, all of these passively resting stags sat just the other side of the bern, on the next estate.
Saturday morning dawned crisp again and you could sense the major change all around. Malcolm and I went looking for a red, to the spot where Scott had shot his. Scott and Mark decided this was the morning to climb the Craig.
We were soon in the most perfect spot, a small hill overlooking a saddle intersected by a deer fence. The slots along the trail looked more like a cattle feed lot than a deer trail. What we saw though was only a single red a red fox that is slipping along and never stopping long enough for a shot. As we walked slowly out I had an inescapable feeling that my quest for a red was rapidly drawing to a close.
Abruptly my luck changed. A young 8 pt red jumped up from his bed, unsure what we were. He ambled down hill while Malcolm got the sticks set and I got ready. He stopped, briefly in a clearing, the crosshairs found his chest, I snicked off the the Tikkas safety, and ..
He walked away before I could pull the trigger. The picture in my head was beautiful, an almost shot. That I decided had been my chance and I had not acted quickly enough. Not cheerful, but resolved to the fairness of it all, we headed to the truck.
As we drove out I asked Malcolm if we could stop at the clearcut so that I could walk up and retrieve my game camera. On getting out of the truck, I grabbed the .270 just in case. I did not even load it until the first crest - the spot from which I shot my sika. I paused there, reliving the glorious moment, while I slipped a round in the chamber.
Continuing on, I decided that the clearing had been too active for me to just barge in. A stealthy approach might yield a hind close enough for an iPhone picture so I edged to the shadows and oozed forward .
Upon coming to first view of the clearing I was stunned there, 75 yards away standing in the sunlight with a bright shining RED coat was a stag. He was unsure of what I was, and I was unsure why God had chosen to bless me with this obviously deaf dumb and blind creature. Recovering from shock I braced the rifle on a limb, found the crosshairs on the chest, and gently squeezed the trigger.
The stag made a brief 30 yard run before dropping into the heather. I was almost unsure that the entire event had transpired. Collecting my wits I moved forward and found my first Red Stag lying in meadow. I took a few photos, then headed back down the hill to gather Malc.
Opening the truck door I said Well, lets go get the quad, I have a stag down. Malcolm first thought I was pulling his leg, then perhaps that I had found the missed Sika after all until I showed him the phone pictures. Off we went to gather the quad, then back we came to gather the stag. Not only was it a second moment of glory it fulfilled the wisdom of my great uncle the first big game hunter in the family. When young I had asked him what was the most important thing to know and his response was Always shoot them uphill from the truck.
The drag down was easy and the gralloch simple. Malcolm expertly loaded the stag on the quad and tied him down.
Scott and Mark had watched the commotion from atop the Craig and chose to walk down directly to us. Just as we were putting the beast in the larder they showed up and handshakes and congratulations were passed all around.
Upon return to the cottage I took a moment to check my trail cam. Lo and behold, the last several shots were my red stag, taken moments before his demise.
That evening was a gloriously rich meal prepared by Sandra. We all sat around, content that they week had been an epic and memorable experience. All that remained was to pack for the flight out the day following. The next day was uneventful, the flights undelayed, and the trip home peaceful. When I first came I was asked if I would return to Scotland. That answer took some thought. Thought is no longer needed, Scotland runs in my veins, as addicting as a drug but far more powerful. When will I be back Soon, very soon.

Glenhuntly hoax, Just another drill.
Can't even get the story straight:
-His age?
-Is it 5 women or 4 people & a child?
-Show us the video footage?
-An on coming train, you'd be dead or the train would have to come to a streaking halt.
-No train driver involved.
The accused is 47 years of age here:
"The 47-year-old Carnegie man is accused of assaulting five women who were waiting at the Glenhuntly train station on Sunday."
He's 45 years in this:
"A 45-year-old man from Carnegie has been arrested and will be interviewed by police."
"FOUR people, including a child, have been rushed to hospital in Melbourne "
"Its alleged the 45 year old"
He's 46 years of age here:
"Police said a 46-year-old Carnegie"
"The attack was recorded on security cameras."
Yet we don't see any footage of course.
What time was the attack?
Here it's at 11am
Yet here we have….
Thrown onto the tracks at 11.15am
Yet the paramedics turned up at 11.15am
An elderly women was pushed onto the tracks & received fractures, yet no reports of the train stopping.
"Right in the path of an on coming train"
"The train was not very far from the station"
Here's a crisis actor:

In a sub culture where anyone with a few bucks can declare themselves a sneaker head it can be tough to decipher who exactly is doing it out of a genuine love and who is doing it because its the "in thing" to do. Further, you have to do a little more digging for the OG's; the guys that were collecting sneakers when family and friends were staging an intervention and thought they were crazy, when the online community was small (and you did your daily site visits to AL BUNDY'S SOCIETY, SHOETRENDS or NIKEPARK ) and ultimately the guys that know this subculture in and out because it was built off their backs. Guys like Chad Jones aka Sneaker Galactus,
a man that has amassed a collection of sneakers that makes you want to knock them all off their shelves and do the Scrooge McDuck dive into them. Check out a feature on his collection below!

Zero-hours workers 'earning £1k less than counterparts'
People on zero-hours contracts earn £1,000 a year less than other employees doing the same job, according to a study.
The Resolution Foundation said people on the controversial contracts, under which they do not know if they have work from one week to the next, face a "precarious pay penalty".
The difference is around 6.6%, or 93p an hour, but those in the lowest-paying jobs receive 9.5% less, research by the think tank discovered.
Agency workers and those in temporary jobs also receive less than those in similar employment, said the foundation, adding that wages were being held down because of the widespread use of zero-hours contracts.
Laura Gardiner, senior policy analyst at the Resolution Foundation, said: "Zero-hours contracts have hit the headlines in recent months for their widespread use in Sports Direct and JD Sports.
"But concern about the use and abuse of zero-hours contracts goes far wider than a few notorious firms.
"There is mounting evidence that their use is associated with a holding down of wages.
"While some people value the flexibility offered by zero hours contracts, they also carry a significant precarious pay penalty that can cost workers around £1,000 a year.
"As new ways of working continue to grow - from agency work to the gig economy and wider self-employment - we need a better understanding of how they help or hinder people's earnings and career prospects."

When it comes to shielding Israel from any embarrassment, the U.S. media is the biggest protector of them all. The Associated Press must report to Israel on any news it releases in reference to the Jewish state, and few if any reports negative to Israel ever make it pass Jewish censures.

These protests are a mixed bag. Protesters demands must be met by WHOM?
Salaries and remuneration for Israeli cost of living expenses will come out of scarce American taxpayer dollars. 100 billion to Israel, for 5.8 million people, while Americans go hungry and homeless. Their demands for lower housing will mean MORE housing, which requires land to build it on. Which means stealing it from Palestinians and then billions more US taxpayer dollars to Israel for weapons to murder the Palestinians when they protest the thefts. And on and on and on…
Pardon me if I see the dark lining to this potential white phosphorus cloud.
USA has gotten nothing from Israel but liability. It has been ALL take on their side with nothing in return for America, except the world's hate, endless wars for them, 911 and now the complete gutting of our economy. Not to mention the suborning and treason of our govt at AIPACs behest. American has been PAYING the abuser to slam, rob and beat them. Is America really that insane?

DMV's bicycling infrastructure, part 3
The DMV region has a truly excellent network of dedicated bike paths, particularly Arlington.
Thank goodness. Because driving an automobile around the Northern Virginia suburbs reminds me of one of Dante Alighieri's hell realms.
But hidden in plain sight is a surprisingly robust matrix of bike lanes and pathways.
From Arlington to Falls Church (including the Metro stops from Rosalyn to West Falls Church) it is quite convenient to go by bicycle from point A to point B.
Many of the paths — like the Curtis Trail shown in these images — traverse wooded areas that are only yards from utterly congested roadways such as Interstate 66.
Above a pair of ducks are enjoying a hidden pond.
The paths are heavily used. In fact, they are busier than most bike paths and lanes I traveled on in California.
DMV's bicycling infrastructure, part 2
Another big part of this region's bicycling culture is the Capital Bikeshare system.
DC can boast that it had a bike share system in place before New York City and San Francisco. And I can boast that I once worked with the transportation design and planning firm (Alta Planning/Alta Bicycle Share) that built DC's system.
To check out some of my earlier blog posts on Capital Bikeshare click here.
DMV's bicycling infrastructure, part 1
The DC, Maryland, and Virgina (DMV) region has a pretty robust bicycling culture from what I've witnessed.
Urban planners have converted the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue into a rather complex set of bicycle lanes.
The view above is looking east toward the Capitol. The image below is looking west.
Random Images……Old Schwinn on Georgetown Campus
I was on the Georgetown University campus this past Friday to attend a talk on Sufism by Pir Zia Inayat Khan (if you're curious check out his wonderful new book).
En route, this old Schwinn with a vintage Brooks saddle caught my eye. The saddle is disintegrating, but still serving its intended purpose — carrying its rider along life's unfolding, luminous path.
On the Road…The Eden Center, Falls Church, VA
This tree — conveniently used as a bike rack — is in the parking lot behind the giant Vietnamese shopping mall known as the Eden Center. (See below for a view of the front of the mall right before an early evening thunderstorm.)
I ride over here regularly to get my banh mi or pho fix (here are some Yelp reviews if you're curious).
And if you haven't noticed, the front wheel you're looking at in the picture above is super dreamy:
- 700c x 32mm Grand Bois extra leger tires
- wide body SON delux Schmidt front generator hub
- PL23 Pacenti rims
- Velo Orange porteur rack
- Velo Orange 45mm hammered fenders
On the Road……Dali and Vermeer @ National Gallery of Art, Wash DC
Just outside the main entrance to the National Gallery of Art.
It's always worth a visit here if only to experience the museum's four paintings by Vermeer and Salvador Dali's "The Sacrament of the Last Supper".
I'm not sure if it's true, but I heard that Dali required this painting to be displayed alone, in it's own viewing room.
The museum has honored the request to some degree, by putting it in a mezzanine, stairway-like area by itself…but I'm not sure this genuinely honors the spirit of Dalil's wishes.
And the master of light, Vermeer, I've now learned used a camera obscura in his artistic process. When the reflected light of a scene was projected onto a viewing screen, the device would selectively blur certain areas (as does the human eye) and identify precise areas of bright or specular highlights (e.g. the pearl necklaces in the jewelry case below).
Vermeer probably analyzed the camera obscura results to help render his sublime paintings — thus, painting with light!
On the Road……Capital Bikeshare @ the US Capitol – Washington, DC
What a day for a bike ride around the National Mall.
It's kind of a cliche, but I had to stop for the classic photo-op in front of the Capitol reflecting pool.
On the Road……The Capitol and Mall with help from DC's Bikeshare.
The Capital Bikeshare scheme works like this:
- Swipe your credit card at a Bikeshare kiosk to initiate a membership (in my case a 24 hour membership at a cost of $5)
- Agree to 120 pages of contract terms by clicking "I agree"
- Collect the printed ticket (see above) and enter the code into the docking station to release the bike
- Return the bike to any of the 110 stations around the city (if you return the bike within 30 minutes it's free)
Note: finding a nearby docking station is best accomplished on your smartphone with the remarkably practical Bixou App.
On the Road……A very verdant Washington, DC
I just returned from a quick trip to Washington, DC. There's been lots of rain this summer and it shows! The images below were made (with an iPhone camera) around a residential neighborhood near the Tenleytown metro station.
The neighborhood is about 1-2 miles from American University. One of the students living across the way from my friend (who hosted me for the day) no doubt uses this good looking mixte to commute to class.
It was fun to see my friend Tom (a developer and owner of the Blue Mash Golf course) and eat at one of the best traditional Neapolitan pizza joints on the east coast (2 Amy's).
Once again, I tried out the Capital Bikeshare program. I had a free hour the morning before I was set to return to AZ so I did some cruising around the National Mall. I have a few images I plan to post soon.
On the Road……DC, Captial Bikeshare…Part 2, the not-so-good
I ran into two issues while using the system:
- persistent shortages of open docks at the 21st and C St. station.
I would often snag the last remaining dock, then observe other riders pedaling away to look for another station to return their bike. I also observed an abandoned bike on the sidewalk because there were no spaces to dock it. Clearly, CaBi needs to add another docking module at this location.
- the kiosk's touch screen failed me when I needed it most.
It was critical to be at work by 9am Friday morning. I finished my breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien in Dupont Circle (oatmeal, with fresh berries, OJ, and a cappuccino). I left myself 15-20 minutes to get down to C Street. I was a bit worried about the destination (since the Bixou app was telling me there were no docks available). But when I attempted to check-out a bike, the touch screen at the Dupont kiosk would not respond. Nothing. I was locked out…….TAXI!
The upshot: A great system, with some implementation issues. I unnecessarily spent $9 on taxi fare — not a big deal — but it did raise the cost of relying on CaBi by more than 50% (a 5-day CaBi membership is $15).
On the Road……DC, Capital Bikeshare…Part 1, the good
I spent five days using the CaBi system to make a simple, 3-mile, round trip commute while working in DC this past week. It was great. I loved not having to ride the metro or take the bus (or have to travel with my own bike).
As much as I enjoyed the system, I did experience a couple snafus that caused me to lose some confidence in the system (more on that in Part 2).
But I had no major complaints about the bike itself. I'm a big, big fan of the front rack and bungee cord. The system worked great for holding my satchel securely in place. The quibbles below are all relatively minor and somewhat subjective:
- the fenders are too short (as Dave pointed out in the previous post's comments);
- the high gear (on the 3-speed hub) could be spaced a tad higher; and,
- the shift lag — on the bikes I rode — was quite noticeable.
There's also an amazing (and in my opinion, indispensable) mobile phone app, Bixou, which lets you locate nearby stations and display live updates of both the number of bicycles and the number of open docks at any location.
On the Road……The Nation's Capital, Washington, DC
This post is a bit of a non sequitar since (in my previous post) I was in the middle of describing my ride up Mt. Lemmon. But I've been sent to DC for a week of work-related training giving me the opportunity to try out the Capital Bikeshare program and I thought I would post some images now, rather than wait.
How is the bike share program, you ask?
So far so good, although the persistent thunderstorms have made me keep a keen eye on the sky since I don't have proper rain gear with me.
I'm staying in Dupont Circle (where I've been picking up a bike each morning) and riding to the Department of State (where the bike gets dropped off). The main streets along the way don't have any designated bike lanes, but I've found some smaller, quieter streets that work well. Plus, drivers seem surprisingly tolerant of my existence — so far.

Appeals court upholds Barry Bonds' conviction
Nearly six years after charges were filed, a federal appeals court upheld Barry Bonds' conviction concerning his PED testimony.
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
A federal court upheld the conviction of long-time big leaguer Barry Bonds on Friday, according to the Associated Press. He was convicted of obstruction of justice in connection to his grand jury testimony about performance-enhancing drugs. Here's more from the AP:
"The statement served to divert the grand jury's attention away from the relevant inquiry of the investigation, which was Anderson and BALCO's distribution of steroids and PEDs," [Judge Mary Schroeder] wrote. "The statement was therefore evasive."
Schroeder and her two colleagues also rejected his arguments that the trial judge had issued improper jury instructions.
"We conclude there was sufficient evidence to convict Bonds of obstructing justice," Schroeder said.
Bonds, 49, testified in 2003 under a grant of immunity and denied knowingly using any kind of PED provided by BALCO or Anderson. He was convicted in April 2011 and sentenced to 30 days house arrest and two years probation. Prosecutors sought a 15-month prison sentence.
Bonds was originally indicted on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice in November 2007. The trial was set to begin in March 2009 but was delayed until March 2011.

There is no lack of festivals in the Hindu calendar. Janmashtami is one such festival of the Hindus which is full of life and colours. It is held in the month of Vadra according to the Hindu calendar that falls on the first week of August. Janmashtami is the celebration of the birthday of Lord Krishna. The Hindus treat Krishna as the little kid of their house. So, this is the festival which you can enjoy with your children.
Baby Krishna Costumes For Janmashtami
At this festival, you can dress your little kid as Krishna and Radha and they will also enjoy it to the fullest. Do you know the ways to decorate your kid for Krishna Janmastami?

Feed Little Krishna With These Recipes On Janmashtami
Just remember one thing. Don't use any body colour or too much makeup on your baby. Such things can cause irritation. Janmashtami is a festival where you can enjoy the childhood of your kid to the fullest. But you must make sure that your child also enjoys it. Here are some ways to decorate your kid for Krishna Janmashtami-
1.Dress Them In A Colourful Dhoti
This will come first when you think of the ways to decorate your kid for Krishna Janmashtami. Buy a yellow dhoti as it is the favourite colour of Lord Krishna. You can also buy ready-to-wear dhoti if you can't drape it.
2. Give Them A Sash
Give your little Kanha a beautiful sash across his body. You can match it with the colour of his dhoti. Or buy a yellow dhoti and blue sash. The cutie will look his best.
3. Give Them A Crown
Decorating your kids like Krishna is too much fun. You will definitely want to give him a royal look. A crown can fulfill your wish. Be careful that the metal of the crown doesn't make him crabby. It is better to give them paper or cloth-made crown.
4. Tie His Hair Into A Top Knot
A crown can make your child cranky. To make him look like Balgopal, you can tie his hair into a top not and make a bun of it. Your kid is ready to run around as little Krishna.

7. Little Makeup
It is a big no to too much makeup for children. Still, you can paint a tilak of sandal at his forehead and arms. A little lipstick won't be wrong. But whatever you use, it should be of good quality.
So, now you know the ways to decorate your kid for Krishna Janmashtami. But a Krishna without Radha is not fair enough. So, mothers of girl children decorate your little princess as Radha. Give them a coloured ghagra and choli and put on some light makeup. As Janmashtami is a community festival, you'll definitely find a little Krishna for her.

Natural Rubber Rug Pad
All natural rubber, impressive grip, superior protection
Natural rubber is derived from real rubber trees in southeast asia. Natural rubber will grip better and last longer than both synthetic latex and PVC rug pads. Synthetic latex tends to dry out quicker, causing premature flaking and deterioration of floors. PVC rug pads on the other hand don't grip as well and can often stick to your floors. Also, PVC plastic rug pads are also manufactured overseas, and depending on the chemicals used in production they can often harm certain floor finishes due to off-gassing.
Dura-Stop Rug Pads
A natural rubber rug pad designed to prevent smaller rugs and runner rugs from slipping. Traditional waffle style pattern may resemble similar style non-slip pads, however Durahold's made with only natural rubber materials which perform better than sticky pvc alternatives found in big box stores.
- Ideal for preventing runner rugs and scatter rugs from slipping
- One of the best gripping rug pads on the market
- 20 Year Warranty
- Made in the USA
approx. $ 1.34 / sq ft
Super-Lock Natural Rug Pads
Made in the USA using untreated rubber materials, this eco-friendly rug padding provides a safer and stronger grip for any surface, especially flooring that tends to stain easily. Ideal for stubborn area rugs that are prone to slipping or bulking.
- Natural rubber offers superior gripping power over PVC alternatives
- ⅛'' thick, breathable design
- Made in the USA
- 20 Year Warranty
approx. $ 1.22 / sq ft
Rug Anchor Rug Pads
Rug anchor is a natural rubber ideal for anchoring runner rugs and scatter rugs. Solid design is ideal for maximizing grip for stubborn area rugs more prone to slipping. Rug Anchor is also waterproof, preventing spills from reaching floors below. Unfortunately, Rug-anchor is offered only in 4 foot wide rolls, thus requiring 2 pieces for larger rugs.
- Ideal for stubborn area rugs and smaller rugs in high traffic areas
- Eco-Friendly - made with open celled natural rubber
- 20 Year Warranty
- Made in the USA
approx. $ 1.24 / sq ft
Natural Weave
Natural Weave is the world's most eco friendly rug pad. It's made with natural rubber and plant jute base. A one of a kind rug pad for the greener home. A low profile rug pad with strong anti slip properties.
- 1/8'' thick, low profile
- Very Eco-Friendly
- 20 Year Warranty
- Made in the USA
approx. $ 1.10 / sq ft
For most consumers, using a rug pad under their rug or carpet doesn't even cross their mind….that is until the damage has already been done.
If you've ever removed carpet or a rug from hardwood after it has been in place for a year or more you've likely seen firsthand the kind of damage it can do to your floors.
What kind of damage you ask?
- Scratches from abrasion and friction
- Dents or gashes from moving/dragging furniture
- Bubbling, cracking or peeling of wood or sealant
- Warping of wood
Yeah, it's not pretty. Not at all. And considering the high cost of flooring, be it hardwood, laminate or otherwise, we'd prefer to help you avoid the situation altogether. And considering the cost of a nice rubber rug pad is under $1.50/ square foot (20Yr warranty included), it's a no-brainer in our books.
But before we get into that, we would like to help clear up a few things that you may be wondering about as it pertains to buying a rubber rug pad.
#1 What are the Main Advantages of Using a Rubber Rug Pad?
- Protection of your carpet, rug, or flooring
- Limit slipping, movement or bunching up of your rug / carpet
- Prevent moisture build up
- Inhibit mold / mildew
- Anti-bacterial / non-allergenic properties
- Soft cushioning and padding
- Waterproof / stain resistant
#2 Will the Rubber Rug Pad Scuff up or Damage my Floor?
Quite the opposite. We've ran numerous tests and looked at the safety profile and data from leading manufactures around the world. Overwhelmingly, when it comes to rug pads and hardwood, a rubber rug pad is the BEST option there is.
The rubber rug pads we carry are USA made, and engineered to provide superior protection, grip strength and comfort. We guarantee it.
Now, there are instances where rubber rug pads have done damage, and you may be aware of some of those stories involving: marring, melting, staining, or even stripping the finish off floors. There are a couple reasons this could happen that are VERY preventable. And again, all our rubber rug pad options are fully tested, with a 20 yr warranty, quality guarantee and 30-day money back promise.
But first, let's cover why some rubber rug pads might fail...
A. Failure to Wait after Re-Finishing the Floor
The home owner did NOT wait the mandatory 2-3 week period after re-finishing their floors with stain, sealant or polyurethane coating. Failure to wait 2-3 weeks before placing a rubber rug pad on this surface WILL result in damage as the sealant has NOT yet cured. In this case, the rubber reacts with the poly sealant and creating a bond that then can peel with time and wear.
B. Poor Quality Rubber (often imported)
Cheaper, "no name," unheard of, or imported/overseas manufactures can produce poorly created products using any number of chemicals, bonding agents, sealers and toxins. This is especially true when talking about any rubber product, rubber rug pads included. The rug pads at RugPads.net are USA made, non-toxic, and eco-friendly. We source our rubber from natural rubber trees and never use harmful toxins or chemicals.
C. Substituting Rubber with PVC or vinyl
Low-end manufacturers sometimes use vinyl and PVC with lacquered and acrylic finishes with their pads. This combination is known to cause chemical reactions and may cause staining, discoloration, or damage to hardwood floors. Rest assured, our rug pads do NOT use this combination. And we provide a 20yr warranty to back it up.
I know rugs and carpets are expensive, and often there is little left in the budget for a rug pad. But think of the years of extra use and damage prevention you can get for as little as $1/sq ft. And yes, that is for a USA made rubber rug pad with a 20yr warranty. It's the investment that lasts longer than your actual rug might, and at the end of the day, you'll have peace of mind knowing your flooring underneath looks as new as when you first covered it up.
#3 What Can I Expect from a High Quality Rubber Rug Pad?
A quality rubber rug pad will provide cushioning, stability, grip and protection for years to come and is an investment that pays for itself over and over again.
Expect the following:
- Strong grip / non skid / non slip design
- Ample cushioning, softer feel, plush comfort
- Long lasting durability
- Superior protection of flooring and rug / carpet
- Acoustic / noise reduction properties
- Heat / thermos insulation
- Be environmentally friendly, non-toxic
- Be hypo-allergenic
- Be easy to clean
#4 What a Quality Rubber Rug Pad Should Not Be
When it comes to rug pads, there are a few things to look out for that can save you both money and frustration. Much of this grief is caused by poor designs, cheap materials, and overseas manufacturers.
A quality rubber rug pad should NOT:
- Smell or have an odor
- Stain your rug or carpet
- Discolor your floor
- Use harsh chemicals, toxins, sealers or bonding agents
- Will NOT be sticky to the touch, nor actually "stick" to your floor
#5 Natural Rubber vs Synthetic Padding
When it comes to rubber, there are two types: natural and synthetic. While both can be effective, we prefer the more environmentally friendly and less toxic "natural" eco-friendly option.
At RugPads.net we use ONLY organic, non-toxic all natural rubber sourced from sustainable rubber tree farmers. Our natural rubber rug pads are made from the white sap harvested from the hevea brasiliensis (rubber) tree.
Natural Rubber
- Environmentally Sustainable
- Eco-friendly
- Organic
- Non-toxic
- No chemicals
- Long lasting
- High quality
- Safe for your floors
Synthetic Rubber (also called synthetic latex)
- Made from chemicals and industrial solutions
- May contain toxins harmful to pets or humans upon contact
- Could cause skin irritation with direct contact
- Often imported from overseas
- Mass produced
- Sometimes cheaper
- May damage some floor types
- May have an odor
With the market flooded with cheap cushioning options it is often hard to know where to turn. That's where we hope we can come in. We are USA based and guarantee nothing but the highest quality as licensed resellers of top manufactures.
Natural rubber rug pads are some of the best rug pads on the market, providing comfort, protection and support. Most suitable for hardwood floor types such as oak, maple, cherry, chestnut and more. These pads are very cost effective and can be purchased online at RugPads.net where we always provide great service at the best prices guaranteed. If you find it cheaper, we'll beat it. On top of that, we offer free shipping to the continental United States.
Our experts have combined decades of experience in finding just the right fit for any size, shape or need. Don't get stuck with a cheap, poorly designed imitation. Give us a call today and our team will help you make the right selection.

Ok so I am torn about this one. I love peanut butter, eat it everyday and I also adore Purdys but I just didn't love this. I wanted to but the flavor just didn't cut it for me. I found it slightly bland in the peanut butter department. I'll pass.
The fingers are so smooth they melt in your mouth. They are great for snacks for the kids or a little treat for yourself. I always take them camping. You break them in half and they are the perfect size for smores.

Once upon a time, the 'Snake' game was the best things about those brick phones from the late 90s and early 2000s, and that classic game is getting a modern update thanks to the QCoo. The toy is a cube packed full of LEDs on each side that lets kids (or nostalgic adults) play many old-fashioned early digital games in three dimensions.
The 3D Snake game on the QCoo is just as simple as the original and potentially more addictive. Rather than just slithering across one space of the cube, the Snake can crawl around corners to eat LED dots, adding a literal new dimension to the game. The QCoo also comes with other adaptations of classic games, such as a version of Temple Run and a version of TowerBloxx.

In 2010, I spent three months in Asia. In 2014, I spent another month in Asia. Combined, that's a total of four months. While it's not that much when I compare that number to other people, I think it's still a significant amount of time.
Needless to say, with all this time spent in Asia, there was quite a bit of travelling involved. While some of it was by train, most of it was by plane. I flew the following routes within Asia:
In 2010:
- Shenzen to Chongqing
- Shanghai to Beijing
- Beijing to Tokyo
- Tokyo to Taipei
- Taipei to Bangkok
- Bangkok to Chiang Mai
- Chiang Mai to Bangkok
- Bangkok to Koh Samui
- Koh Samui to Krabi
- Krabi to Bangkok
- Bangkok to Hong Kong
In 2014:
- Singapore to Yogyakarta
- Yogyakarta to Bali
- Lombok to Kuala Lumpur
- Kuala Lumpur to Singapore
Among those flights, 7 were with Air Asia: Taipei to Bangkok, Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Krabi to Bangkok, Singapore to Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta to Bali, Lombok to Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.
What amazed me with Air Asia is that the flights were really cheap. I mean, in Thailand, Thai Airways would've been a good choice. But they were more expensive. And by a lot. In Indonesia, Garuda Indonesia would've been a good choice. But they were more expensive. And, you guessed it, by a lot! You can't really beat a base fare of 0 $ from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore plus the fees. With a checked baggage, the total came up to less than 40 $CAD.
On my first flight with Air Asia, I was really wondering how they could turn a profit while offering such low prices. And while waiting at the gate, seeing that 30 minutes before departure, the plane still wasn't there, that questioning grew bigger. But then the plane arrived. And I started to experience the Air Asia experience!
First of all, they turn the plane so quickly. I don't know how they do it, but they do it. And I got my luggage every time. And they almost never use a jetbridge. They bring you by bus to their plane where stairs await.
But before stepping on the plane, because of the low fares, I really was wondering what kind of product I could expect. It turns out that their planes are in quite good shape (at least cosmetically, I can't speak for the mechanical condition other than that they got me safely where I wanted to go!). Of course, the leg room is a little limited, but for short flights, it doesn't really matter.
The crew was attentive, you could buy food if you wanted or get the food you prepaid for during booking, if you chose to get something.
They even have cool white smoke coming out in the cabin while we board! Anyone knows what it is? Dry ice? Insect repellant? Anyways, whatever it is, it looks cool!
So all in all, I was pretty happy with my Air Asia flights. They get safely you where you want to go, and for a cheap price! What do you want more?
Have you tried Air Asia yet? How was you flight?

This is what I like to refer to as a "knew them when" show. Mainly because it has so many actors who are famous today that weren't household names when they did the show. It had Hayden Christiensen pre-Anakin, Jewel Staite pre-Firefly (though with a dedicated fanbase, even then), Kyle Downes pre-Tudgeman, and AJ Cook pre-Final Destination and Criminal Minds.
That said, it doesn't mean that the show was bad. Far from it; it was a pretty groundbreaking for a show on cable. Every single character had a very deep and compelling storyline, from Peter's troubled past, to Sophie's endomitriosis, to each of the kids' several problems. It also didn't shy away from addressing teen issues like cutting and suicide, and even delved further into them to give possible insight at what might make a teen troubled. And it did so in a compelling manner that wasn't preachy (for the most part).
All in all, a very, very good and influential show that just happens to be a launching pad for quite a few promising careers.

Goodness. A perfect Christmas. As Don said late in the day, 'on our terms' – which is to say we did it with some modifications that seemed right to us this year for any number of reasons. And it felt relaxed and easy and peaceful and…right.
We started with some quiet time. Then Christmas Coffee Cake (and coffee, of course.) Oh heavens, it was yummy. And lucky for us, there's some left over for today and tomorrow!
I mentioned before that we knew what we were giving each other. We purchased it about a week or so ago.
Back story: A long time ago, I had hundreds of vinyl records. I had a turntable and a receiver and great speakers. Then CDs came along and I went over to 'the other side.' Years of moves and not enough space for all the albums and storage in not very good conditions has resulted in warped and damaged records to my eternal regret. When we moved to the cottage, we gave away the turntable – which wasn't working all that well – and the rest of the audio equipment.
What were we thinking?
There is a vinyl resurgence going on, which I find incredibly heartening. New vinyl records are being manufactured (though they're pretty pricey) and vintage vinyl is very popular. We live near a college town that has two used record shops.
One day, when I was out and about, I saw a turntable and speakers for sale at a good price – at Barnes & Noble, in fact – and an idea came to me. I knew Don missed playing LPs as well, so when I suggested that might be our present to each other, he jumped on it.
The surprises were in the albums we chose for each other. The assignment was to find four albums that we thought our mate would love (I cheated and found five.)
The other speaker is on the piano. The speakers are wonderful – such great sound quality! We already had quite a bit of vintage vinyl around the house, but here is what we chose for each other:
For Don from me:
Willie Nelson's Greatest Hits – vintage
The Eagles Greatest Hits – vintage
Gordon Lightfoot – new re-issue of Sundown
Warren Zevon Envoy – vintage
Neil Young Harvest – vintage
For me from Don:
Joni Mitchell Court and Spark – vintage
Frank Sinatra Swing Along with Me – vintage
Mel Tormé Live at the Crescendo – vintage
Van Morrison Common One – vintage
For both of us: Stravinsky The Rite of Spring – vintage
It's such fun picking out records for Don! And might I add, Don's choices for me were spot on.
We spent all afternoon listening to records. We have lots and lots of CDs but there is indeed a difference in the sound of an LP. LPs have a warmer, more intimate sound. I much prefer them. CDs, being digital, are almost perfect in their separation of sounds, but I don't think that's the way we actually hear sounds when we're listening to live music. I found I was missing the warmth of a vinyl record. I even like hearing the occasional pop as the record spins away on the turntable. It's comforting, reassuring. There's also something about holding a record in your hand, looking at the cover art, reading the liner notes – all of which you can do with a CD, but on a much smaller scale. Holding an album is a whole other experience.
Fortunately for us, our favorite local record shop is run by a guy who listens to every album he sells and there are ratings as to the quality of the album. Everything we brought home was in great condition – even the Mel Tormé album recorded in 1954. It was as if he was in the room with us.
I see a couple of Scoutie hairs have already made their way to the new turntable.
Speaking of which:
Someone, who slept through the exchange of gifts but roused herself for record listening, got lots of soft treats from Santa and Mom and Dad. She was quite happy. (Pssst! She has a birthday coming up on January 4th. She is, at this moment: Sixteen Going on Seventeen. Another musical reference.)
Dinner was delicious. Don made the Stuffed Portobello mushrooms again, with some steamed broccoli. And I made Cloud Biscuits. Pumpkin Pie for dessert.
A lovely day, with a candle burning all day long in honor of my father.
If you celebrate Christmas, I hope your day was a happy one. In fact, whatever you celebrate or don't celebrate, I hope your day was filled with peace and joy.
Happy Saturday.

While the fables and tales of endless supplies of oil have been spun and hyped by the sources that we should now know are disreputable, greedy and power hungry, recently released WikiLeaks cable confirms what Meier was told by the Plejaren almost three years ago.
But did they specifically mention Saudi Arabia?
I suggest that people who are now ready look into the truth about the accuracy of the Billy Meier information read this compilation for an overview.
