It makes sense as a political move:
"Moreover, the gay marriage opponents during that Proposition 8 trial didn't just look dumb -- they looked mean."
Didn't this happen in the Maryland legislature? Some have switched their votes because "I just can't be on that side."

I agree with the politics; and the article to which you linked begins with "as required by law," which suggests I'm wrong about the constitutional part.

The Governor and Attorney General of California declined to defend Proposition 8 in the courts. That was the anti-same-sex marriage amendment that passed in '08. That's a somewhat analogous situation. As I understand it, it's customary, but not required by either statute or the Constitution.
Over at Balloon Juice, John Cola asked the same question and got a lot of comments. Perhaps some of them might help, and here's more discussion from Lawyers, Guns & Money.

Oh, and if I ever get cancer, I hope it's the kind Newt's wife had, cause she's still alive some 30+ years later.
OK, I know we're all "Dying" in the Jungian sense, but seriously, she had Cervical Dysplasia, not exactly a Grade V Glioma...If your gonna insult Newt, do it for something legitimate, like his stupid hair.

You're right, Frank. I stand corrected. He dumped her while she was in the hospital, but she wasn't dying. Down, but not out. Drugged, but not dying.
Makes all the difference. He's a paragon of opposite marriage, a virtual and virtuous poster boy for it. The perfect spokesman and defender.

(The -m takes it out, the -x means don't reinstall scripts, the -N means don't install dependencies, and the -d targetdir specifies where the .pth file is.)

Indigenous Intellectual Property
A Handbook of Contemporary Research
Edited by Matthew Rimmer
Chapter 16: Intellectual property, Indigenous knowledge and climate change
Matthew Rimmer
Indigenous communities have been hard hit by the impacts of environmental degradation, biodiversity and climate change. Carola Betzold and Anaid Flesken have observed: About 300 million people belong to one of the roughly 5,000 Indigenous peoples worldwide. While their ecological footprint is very small, Indigenous peoples tend to be disproportionately affected by environmental problems, for they tend to live in sensitive ecosystems, are closely related to, and directly depend on the natural environment and its resources. Environmental degradation hence compounds the already difficult situation of Indigenous peoples, who typically suffer from problems such as poverty, marginalisation, discrimination, and exclusion from policy-making processes. There has a particular concern about the impact of climate change and global warming upon Indigenous communities and their lands, territories, natural resources and associated traditional knowledge. There have been fierce debates over intellectual property, the environment, and climate change in a range of international fora. The question of the protection of Indigenous intellectual property and traditional knowledge has emerged during these international discussions. There has been a significant fragmentation of the global governance of intellectual property, climate change, and Indigenous knowledge. In a survey of intellectual property and climate change, the World Intellectual Property Organization acknowledged: 'Although Indigenous peoples regard themselves as the mercury in the world's climate change barometer, they are rarely considered in public discourses on climate change.

Study Finds Electronic Prescribing Records of Limited Use
As many as 400,000 deaths annually in the United States are estimated to be caused by physician error, making it the second highest cause of death according to the American Association of the Advancement of Science. Physician error is largely due to decision-making with an incomplete case history. Implementing electronic record-keeping for patients is one solution often touted to alleviate the error rate.
Earlier this week Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, one of the most highly regarded hospitals in the country, announced that its transition to a computerized prescription system has been ineffective so far in reducing the occurrence of patient medication errors. In a study published in the medical journal Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers found that their CPOE (computerized prescriber order entry) system did decrease medication error. However, it did not have the corresponding result of a decrease in patient harm due to medication error.
In a statement released by Northwestern Memorial, Anne Bobb, RPh, a patient safety research pharmacist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital said that "because current CPOE systems have limited artificial intelligence, the involvement of the physicians and pharmacists remains critical to the medication process. Pharmacists understand the complexity of medications and realize how many prescriptions are changed or altered on a daily basis before they reach the patient."
Still, Northwestern Memorial is currently implementing electronic medical records that may promote adequate recordkeeping so that physician error may be reduced. The data in the current study will provide baseline data to use for comparison in a research study once the electronic records and prescription systems are fully implemented.

The Lost World
Private Interview with Dr. Ian Malcolm
1. Dr. Malcolm, what is it about dinosaurs that interests you?
Well, for me it\'s the primitive nature. The way they hunt, seek and kill. We have learned so much from that island about the way in which dinosaurs live together and how their behavior is so much different from what we had theorized. That is the one thing that this was so useful for. Studying ancient bones can only give you an idea on how they look and fight. Seeing them in reality lets us learn their behavior and the environmental adaptations that have occurred throughout time.
2. Why did you go back with Dr. Levine to the island, which of course you knew was inhabited by dinosaurs and very dangerous?
To begin I\'d like to say I did not know the island was inhabited by dinosaurs but merely suspected the thought. I agreed to go with Dr. Levine as a safety precaution. If there were dinosaurs on the island I could help Richard setup more quickly. I also thought that if they had someone with experience with dinosaurs it would be to their advantage.
3. After the first excursion to "Jurassic Park," the dinosaurs were destroyed, why is that?
We all had to make a choice. We agreed that silence was the best option. The evidence of there ever having been dinosaurs on the island had to be destroyed so that no one would ever know about the park. It was just too dangerous, perhaps when we have means of controlling the dinosaurs we might try to bring them back again.
4. The dinosaurs on Isla Sorna, are they still there?
Yes, we believe that this time we should be studying them instead of destroying them. We have set up a surveillance system to observe the dinosaurs for years to come. Perhaps this way we might learn about how we may protect ourselves from these creatures and perhaps about their evolution and extinction.
5. You say the dinosaurs are still alive. Are you not afraid they pose a danger to mankind?
We believe that with the surveillance of the island we can monitor their every action on the island. There is no chance of escape and therefore no chance of any danger to mankind. However if they somehow find means of escaping the island we\'ll have made precautions into ensuring they will never reach land.
6. With this new breakthrough in science, do you believe there will be a need to continue researching dinosaur bones?
To be honest, no. With the actual animals living and breathing under 24 hour observations, I believe it would be as useful as examining the bones of a cat or a chicken. However, there are several dinosaurs that were not recreated such as the Pterodactyl. We will still be studying the bones of those such animals.
7. Are you and the others planning to let the public know about your secret "Lost World?"
No. If the public knew about this island they would surely gain interest. There would be those certain few who would decide to take a trip out there to see for themselves these actual breathing dinosaurs. We would make security to prevent such a thing of course but there is never a full proof way to keep the people out. If this ever got out, people would want to see it and the island would be disrupted from its natural state.
8. Do you believe there is or could be other lost worlds?
The thought of there being other lost worlds is frightening. Yes I do believe there is such a possibility. If you had asked me this a while back I would have said no. But after going to Isla Sorna there is always going to be the possibility in my mind.
9. Are you ever planning to return to Isla Sorna to see the dinosaurs one last time?
To be able to see them up close, live just another time would be most desirable. The truth is I do not think anyone will ever go back there. It is too dangerous to even try. If I could though, just to go there without any chance of danger, I would surely not miss the opportunity.
10. Do you believe it is right for humans to play god and

The 4-time GRAMMY winner's SPEAK NOW performance is a two-hour theatrical presentation reminiscent of a Broadway experience. The show features elaborate costumes, dancers, aerialists, changing sets, and innovative choreography and instrumentation showcased on a multi-level stage. Taylor plays five different guitars in the show, including electric, acoustic, and 12-string. She also plays two banjos, the ukulele and the piano, and changes costumes nine times over the course of the evening. She moves around the venue and uses different stages, giving every audience member a great seat.We can't wait to see the show when it comes to LA!

Thinker's Diary - November 5: At St. Tropez!
When you are woken up early by a maid's knock on your hotel room door, rent a car that goes bust after 10 minutes and have to wait for assistance for 90 minutes in a busy street aided by a homeless fellow Balkan, witness a car upside down on a highway, cannot find the place you slept out in the open when 17, 33 years ago, find out that the restaurant you had dinner with your late mother 21 years ago is now part of a parking lot, and realise the area around St. Tropez looks a lot like many Greek tourist places (esp Nature), plus have a wifi connection that is less stable than the euro, I guess then you know you have had a full day.

What are silicate mineral paints?
The raw material come directly from the mineral word: the binder is potassium waterglass. In 1768, J.W.v.Goethe described it as "liquor silicum" which emerges if one melts pure quartz sand with an adequate proportion of alkali, whereby a transparent glass is obtained which then melts in connection with oxygen and gives a beautiful clear liquidity.
The pigments are earth minerals and iron oxides; the fillers are marble dust etc. Only a small fraction of the raw material are derived from the living nature. These are used to help regulate the process of production.
After application the paint penetrates and chemically reacts with the mineral substrate onto which it is applied. It becomes part of the surface whereas organic paints merely form a skin on the surface.
The high water vapour permeability of the silicate mineral paint, due to the crystalline nature, ensure that humidity which is present in the masonry can freely pass out from the building structure.
The breathing ability of the building structure is maintained. Also, light rays and thermal rays are reflected and this reduces the thermal stress on the building structure and thereby prevents the substrate from cracking.
Set some silicate rock and some synthetic material out exposed to the weather. After five years, the manmade material has been highly degraded and has released chemicals, some of which are highly toxic, into the environment.
The rock is still there, hardly changed. This is reason enough to use silicate mineral paint on severely weathered surfaces.
Where are silicate mineral paints used?
Silicate mineral paints add colour to exterior and interior walls of a mineral basis. From old baroque or stucco houses to new cinderblock or cement buildings, the mineral facades can be painted with silicate mineral paints.
It allows the building to breathe, eliminating blistering, cracking, or peeling.
BIO Silicate Mineral Paint offers many advantages:
- long lasting durability
- economical
- easy to use
- non-toxic to the environment
- contains no solvents except for pure water
- binds chemically to mineral surfaces
- extraordinary breathing paint
- stable colours, even over maby years with excellent light fastness
- they do not peel
- they are non-flammable
- they are fungicidal due to their alkaline nature
The following products are available:
- BIO Silicate Mineral Paint, the basic silicate paint
- BIO Silicate Primer; the thinner and primer for BIO Silicate Mineral Paint

Rialto Cafe Ratings and Reviews
This is not the place to go if you have plans after your meal. It took about 25 minutes to place a drink order. We had been seated and waited an entire hour before our server came back to take our dinner order. I had to request for her to bring our bill as soon as we received our food because she didn't come around very often. It could've just been a bad night but I won't be going back to this establishment any time soon.
The food was good and exactly as noted on the menu. We were seated at a table that was by a makeshift pass through to the kitchen and had servers squeezing by us intermittently. Not great. They shouldn't allow that to happen. It made conversation feel constantly interrupted.
Waitstaff was engaged, but behaved as if still in training. Very kind and tried to accommodate as much as possible.
Corner booth was VERY uncomfortable and in high traffic area. Not the best spot to squeeze in more patrons.
Food was disappointing, to be generous. Quality, flavor, presentation, and selection left a lot to be desired, unfortunately.
We went for NYE and assumed it would be pretty crazy, but it really wasn't. Our server, Christopher, was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. We had the salmon, delicious, the shrimp and lobster ravioli, very flavorful, and the scallops, which were also very good. The reason we down graded the food is because there were only three scallops on the plate. For the price we thought this was quite skimpy, it seemed more like an appetizer than an entrée. We shared a brownie sundae for dessert.
Good, but we've had better experiences before. Waiter seemed off, but got a little better as we went. Food was slow and then part of mine was burnt on the top. It's such a minor thing too, but we missed the cornbread we got in the past. Love the theatre menu and free parking with it, but this visit was just okay. Good, not great.
The happy hour specials were a terrific deal. We enjoyed wine and an appetizer and then had a couple of entrees. The bison meatloaf was outstanding. The chicken pot pie was tasty but it was rather scarce on chicken. The interior was colorful with a warm cozy atmosphere. We enjoyed ourselves and will return (but please upgrade the chicken pot pie!)
We had five dishes and everyone of them had a major problem...floating in oil, overcooked and dry, way too much salt, and on. The waiter never returned to the table so they was no way to see if they could be corrected. We left most of the food on the plates as it was inedible.
We are not sure if they had a third or fourth level cook in the kitchen since this was the weekend before Xmas but we will not return to try them again.
This was our third visit to the Rialto and it was just as outstanding as every other visit has been.
The waitstaff is very attentive, the food selections are wonderful and delicious, and there is never a long wait for food or for the check. I love the ambience of the Rialto - classy place without the classy price. Perfect for a pre-performance dinner! We will be coming to the Rialto next time we attend a performance in Denver!
I loved the Rialto! I went with friends before seeing a performance at the Buell and we were really happy with the food, service, and atmosphere. I would be comfortable there for a casual meal or a special one... its rare to find a place that can meet both ends of that spectrum. The location was perfect, which is why we chose it, but I'd go there again for any occasion in downtown Denver. Really nice!
Not very good. Our server seemed very put out by our asking that we had theatre tickets and had to order quickly. We were there at 11:30 and allowed over an hour to make our theatre opening. My husband asked for a mimosa. She brought only half of it and asked him to go downstairs to chose his fruit juice. After getting my order I had a really long blond hair in my omelet. So no, I was not really impressed and probably won't be back. Thanks for asking.

Rialto is "tied" to the hotel next door so if a hotel guest smokes in a room, the fire alarm goes off in the restaurant also (told this by server). We finally asked for to go boxes as the fire alarm just kept going and going like the Energizer bunny. Good food and service otherwise. We ate here 3-4 years ago and remembered it being more fine dining. Now the word cafe on the end of it's name is appropriate.
great location for pre-theater dinner, a quick two block walk. No vegetarian options. Atmosphere is lacking, tables, chairs, like run of the mill franchise restaurants, so the ambiance is nothing to write home about, but the food was surprisingly good. We ordered salmon, pot pie, chicken sandwich and burrata appetizer (for our vegetarian) and all were pleased with their meals.
Waitress did her best but this visit was terrible due to extremely long wait for food and drink, no corn bread... ran out! And we had a reservation but were placed in the front... to the right of the entrance. Noisy and no ambiance. We have come a lot and this visit was terrible. Waitress was great but you could see how stressed she was about a situation beyond her control.
We would absolutely recommend Rialto to friends and will be going back soon!! The wait staff was absolutely incredible. The speed of service was a perfect pace. We were not rushed and didn't feel like we had to wait for anything. Definitely come to this amazing restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and let us switch out the green beans for grilled asparagus. YUM!!
Made reservations for 7 and had our table waiting for us even though we arrived 15 minutes early. Our waiter, Ryan ( I believe), was excellent! He easily handled our multiple orders and a few separate checks. He was always there when we needed another round or anything. Our food was good, drinks were good. It was a great place for a gang of friends meeting up for the lights of 16th St. and a great meal!

Statement by USGBC President and CEO Rick Fedrizzi on the announcement of President Obama's Climate Action Plan
On behalf of the green building community, I want to commend President Obama for taking a bold step forward today to combat climate change and for recognizing once again the important role that green buildings must play if we are to meet our ambitious goals. Buildings are responsible for 40 percent of the carbon emissions and can provide 40 percent of the solution if we can improve their energy efficiency.
The President's plan to cut carbon pollution puts America on an important path leading to energy independence, cleaner air and water and greater resiliency and security. The plan includes several initiatives that will help protect the environment and our planet, but these same measures will also strengthen our economy and make the nation more competitive.
The various actions to accelerate green and resilient buildings – such as ramping up the Better Buildings Challenge, the loan guarantee for efficiency projects, stronger efficiency standards, increased climate-resilient investments and the sustainable and resilient hospitals public-private partnership – show that this Administration understands the triple-bottom line value of resource efficient, green buildings. Green building currently contributes half a trillion dollars to the economy and provides jobs for upwards of 8 million people, making it an important contributor to the nation's economic recovery.
Again, I want to thank President Obama for showing tremendous leadership today for his plan and for these green building efforts, which will help Americans save money, save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, help create jobs and protect our children and our planet.

A month later, the maps of Tiltepec are still on-line on the México Indígena site, and neither Dobson, Herlihy or México Indígena have responded. No apology has been issued yet.
Due to the furor surrounding the controversy, the issue has being taken up on a national level. Opposition deputy Carlos Martinez Martinez from the PRD party and representative from Guelatao, Oaxaca, brought up the matter to be debated in the Mexican Congress, demanding that the México Indígena project be investigated at a federal level.
Back in the U.S., Professor Jerome Dobson attempted to get elected President of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) at its annual conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"I was in some of the villages, I was not in Tiltepec. There's no question in my mind that people knew where the funding was coming from, that was clearly communicated to key people - do they want to say that now, apparently not...So I'm just befuddled by why this has reached this point. I know that the initial charges by Aldo Gonzales were false...I've seen the video of the press conference of the discussion by the commissario of Tiltepec but I also know what was happening when we were there and Peter was there... I know Peter is to be trusted, so if he said it, I believe it."
The AAG voted Dobson's Presidency bid down.
For the IPSG, this is a critical first step towards dealing with geography's murky past relations with indigenous peoples, and hopefully a beginning towards building a better present and future.
Meanwhile, on the ground in Oaxaca, representatives of the Zapotec communities affected and their resident NGO UNOSJO, are relieved that their voice is being heard.
"It's great that these things are finally becoming public knowledge, especially in the U.S.," said Juan Perez Luna, "It is great news that they voted against Dobson in that AAG meeting and he didn't get rewarded for lying to the world. But this is not over yet."

Asbestos Survey
Could your office, home or place of business contain asbestos? Although the dangers of asbestos are now well known. Existing buildings in California and throughout the country may contain asbestos that is damaged causing potential health hazards.
In fact, Southern California – and Los Angeles in particular – has an extremely high incidence rate for mesothelioma. According to an Environmental Working Group report, Los Angeles County has the United States' highest mesothelioma rate.
If your building hasn't been surveyed for asbestos, you could be spending your time in an unhealthy, potentially hazardous environment. This is the case even for homes, offices and other buildings constructed following the 1978 phase out of asbestos.
A-Tech Consulting's asbestos inspection and survey services lets you locate asbestos that could exist in your home and, if present, arrange for its removal. It can also provide important peace of mind that your living or working environment is safe and healthy.
The dangers of asbestos exposure
Today, almost everyone is aware of mesothelioma – a rare form of lung cancer that's caused by exposure to asbestos. Far fewer people are aware that asbestos also has a range of other negative health effects, particularly related to the respiratory system.
These include a significantly increased risk of developing lung cancer, as well as the possibility of developing asbestosis – a condition that causes lung inflammation and reduces the ability of a person to breathe normally.
Although the most severe negative health effects of asbestos exposure are typically seen in workers that were directly exposed to the substance, spending time inside a structure with airborne asbestos fibers/dust can increase your risk of negative health effects.
Could your building contain asbestos?
Although asbestos was phased out from being used in the United States in 1978, many building companies were allowed to continue using their remaining stock of asbestos for the next decade according to the current law.
This means that a huge number of buildings in the Los Angeles area built between 1930 – when asbestos was widely used for insulation – and the mid 1980s have potential to contain dangerous amounts of asbestos, and even modern buildings can contain asbestos containing material. Asbestos material can be used in products with content of up to 3% of total material composition.
This means if a home, office, retail store or other workplace was built during this period of time, it could potentially contain asbestos. If this is the case, an asbestos inspection and abatement can help you make your home or work environment safer.
Are you planning to renovate or remodel?
Having your home or workplace inspected for asbestos is particularly important if you are planning to renovate or remodel. This is because the process of renovating could potentially release asbestos particles into the air inside your building. Federal, State and local regulations require a survey to be conducted by a certified site surveillance technician or certified asbestos consultant, such as one of our technicians. Impacting building materials without a certified inspection can result in hefty fines and possible jail time for negligence by creating a hazardous exposure.
A-Tech Consulting, Inc is here to help you make sure your home or workplace is healthy, environmentally sound and free of asbestos hazards. With an asbestos survey, we can check for the presence of asbestos in the materials used to construct your building.
In the event that asbestos is found inside your home or commercial building, we can create a plan of action to have this hazardous and dangerous material removed from your home or workplace, eliminating a serious threat to your personal health.

What are the most important tips I should follow while paraphrasing a poem to pass my exams?
- print Print
- list Cite
When you paraphrase, read the poem several times to make sure you understand what the poem is saying. A well done paraphrase restates the author's ideas, but instead of using his words, you use your own words and sentences to describe his meaning accurately. Be careful that you don't change the author's meaning or emphasis. You don't have to paraphrase each line either, but make clear that you understand the meaning of the whole. IF you use anything directly taken from the poem, you are not paraphrasing but quoting which requires quotation marks. Remember, paraphrasing is to restate in your own words.
Make sure you get the main idea. Take care not to accidentally distort the meaning of the poem. The problem with poems is that they are really open to interpretation. When writing a summary, it'll be difficult to keep your personal biases out of it.
- (kind of a given but worthy of repeating anyway) Make sure you cover all the main points - Main actors in the poem, topic changes, extended metaphors, tone shifts. These major elements help define the poem and are critical in analyzing the poem. Make sure you don't miss out on any of these otherwise your analysis will be glaringly short of something.
- Go through the poem several times - Doing so will first help you cover the first tip because you might see things the second time reading through that you missed the first time. Additionally, though, it will increase familiarity with the poem so that you can feel more comfortable leaving out the details from your paraphrase since you'll remember them anyway.
- Once you are done, step away from the poem, any notes you took, and a paraphrased version you may have come up with and come up with a theme - By forcing yourself to step back and look at the big picture, you'll be able to keep the goal of the poem in perspective. Sometimes, we get so caught up analyzing each simile/metaphor/alliteration that we lose sight of the main idea of the poem. Keeping this in the back of your mind will be very helpful during your exam.
When paraphrasing a poem, it is best to use literary terms/devices. I usually have a packet on literary terms w/definitions that I can flip through to help me analyze my poem. Make flashcards and study up on a few before your exam. In addition to this, I also try to see if there is a deeper meaning to the poem by looking through the author's history and significant events during the time it was written. Try your best to explain the poem with an overall theme & stick with that theme throughout.
If you paraphrase well you will be able to understand the main concept, not just what the words are. Don't completely change the author's words though, but make sure you grasp what the author is saying instead of a summary of the words, that would mean nothing.

Todd Chandler. Todd has a gift: the man finds exceptional words from others and brings them to life with his daily visual quotes blog, Observation Paper. As someone with no design skills whatsoever, I'm consistently in awe of his creativity and willingness to improve at his craft. Here's a first hand look at how Todd approaches and improves daily at his artful endeavor…Note: While I'm away this week toiling away in the desert (read: I'm working and playing in Las Vegas) I've asked a few friends to step in and take over for me. Today's guest is
My grandfather believed that every day you should be better than the day before. For a while, he wore that philosophy proudly like a new shirt you're sure people will notice and ask where you got it. When people asked him, "Bill, how you doing?" He would answer, "Better" meaning he was better today than he was yesterday. His trial of sharing this optimistic outlook gradually ended as he grew weary of having to repeatedly explain that he hadn't been sick or recovering from surgery.
Last fall, Michael Schechter challenged me to become better by creating a Tumblr account to share daily quotes. I'm pretty sure his dare was merely an attempt to get one more follower for his Tumblr blog, Smarter Than I Am, but I was okay with that because I liked what he was doing. It was different. His quote of the day didn't follow the traditional deep-thoughts-from-famous-dead-people format. They were timely, relevant quotes from stuff he was currently reading.
I'm an information junkie, and the task of finding something worth sharing every day appealed to me. So on Thanksgiving Day, I took the plunge and posted my first quote on Tumblr. I didn't want to just copy Michael's format directly, so I looked for a way to make it my own. By day, I create learning materials, and I'm constantly seeking ways to package information in more compelling ways. That interest drove me to play with methods to make my quotes more visually appealing. After posting 185 visual quotes, here are five lessons I've learned.
"Garbage in, garbage out" was an early obstacle. I was not absorbing enough high end content to source a steady stream of thought-provoking quotes, so I had to up my daily information consumption in both quality and quantity. Plenty of "Zen gurus" claim we are drowning in information and recommend cutting back on such daily infusions, but I benchmarked against the ultimate old-schooler, Warren Buffett. I figured if he still reads six newspapers a day, surely I can commit to few more blogs and podcasts.
Those two media are my biggest sources for quotes while books, newspapers, magazines, movies, and workshops round out the rest. I capture quotes in Simplenote and nvALT that sync in a master note across my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Placing new quotes at the top along with the author and a link to the source makes editing easier when I go to create the posts.
I focus my design on two elements: words and images. With typography there are only a few variables (font, size, color, spacing, and layout), but they can be combined into infinite combinations like the menu items at Chipotle. I've discovered two rules to live by:
- Don't over do variation. A good guideline is no more than three variations of any factor – no more than three different fonts, no more than three different sizes, no more than three different colors. Use variation to emphasize key words or points; too much variation creates visual clutter and weakens the emphasis.
- Find the natural rhythm of the quote. Group words together around complete thoughts and repetitive phrases. This "Unique needs no modifier" quote by George Carlin illustrates strong natural rhythm.
Images include the background, graphics, and pictures. Here are four options that have worked for me:
- Find a complimentary photo that can completely fill the screen and place the quote over the top of it. This photo of a pink sky and different plants captured the Dr. Seuss saying perfectly, and these colorful walls provided a dramatic way to highlight Merlin Mann's comment. I start most image searches using Viewfinder because I like how easy it is to download the photo and to copy the attribution.
- Display a shot of the author along with the quote. You can either frame the author as I did with this Stephen Tobolowsky quote or frame the quote itself like this Bill Bryson quote.
- Add an illustration or chart to reinforce the quote. On Horace Dediu's comment, I created a goofy little chart to illustrate his point, and I drew a timeline to reinforce Maya Angelou's message.
- Simply pick the appropriate background if the quote is lengthy or images detract from the words. The notebook background matched with this statement about training and education, while the clean white background reinforced this message about simplicity.
I'm still experimenting, but I'm starting to fall into a groove of three main tools: doodling in Noteshelf (a drawing/notetaking iPad app), playing with typography in Keynote, and adding text to pictures in Pixelmator. Here are three variations of the same quote showing the distinctions.
Editor's note: You'll be seeing more of this quote here on the blog soon.
Ira Glass has an encouraging video for beginning storytellers (hat tip to Erin Feldman) where he says at the start of your creative journey, your level of taste is really good, but the quality of your work isn't. And the solution is "to do a lot of work. Do a hugh volume of work. Put yourself on a deadline, so that every week or every month you know you're going to finish one story." That constant practice closes the gap and raises the quality of your work to meet your level of ambition.
In preparing for this post, I went back and reviewed my 6 months of quotes. Ira's right. The ratio of crap to quality was higher at the beginning, and while I still crank out occasional crap, it's becoming less frequent. For me, what started out as a curious little whim, has turned into a habit of constant improvement. My grandpa would be proud to see me better today than 185 quotes ago, and this daily production has whet my appetite to continue publishing as practice. The next phase being to layer in bigger creative endeavors.
What constant practices have you found helpful? What have you learned from them? Any new ones you would like to begin?

There are the cases out there of many people with their broken or injured teeth, and due to which, they may be feeling quite uncomfortable with broken confidence, especially on being exposed to eating something or meeting someone in society respectively. Such dental problems should always be treated at the time they are clicked on, and anything then, if left untreated or uncured, can definitely worsen out your dental health, causing many other teeth related problems such as pulpitis, gingivitis or tooth loss. This issue should be looked after as earlier possible through the cosmetic dentistry.
What are dental crowns?
Dental crown is a cap that encloses the damaged teeth and gives the tooth structure a necessary support & strength, at the same time avoiding any chances of further damage to any adjoining tooth area and bringing the teeth quite a natural tooth-like look. Additionally, it helps in protecting the dental decays and avoids tooth sensitivity by simply stopping the possible harmful effects to reach more into an inner surface.
Why are dental crowns necessary?
The patients – with severe teeth damage and being in a condition, where it is now impossible for him to have it treated with teeth filling – should certainly go for dental crowns. Dental crown is the last option being left with such patients to save the teeth. If the teeth seem to have been excessively damaged, where the tooth crown treatment remains incapable now, then the tooth removal is the only process that can help in treating the whole tooth appropriately.
There may the cases where your stained dental fillings would require you to go with the dental crown treatment. Your already done root filling may also necessitate this treatment in future.
How are dental crowns fixed?
There are certain steps that the teeth crowns need to be fixed.
- The affected teeth and surrounding gum tissues would be anesthetized if required.
- The next step would more likely be a making of teeth model by sharpening or trimming away the teeth area into the thickness and shape as required. Mainly this step ensures the strength and durability of the crown that is to be fixed to that place. While processing, the dentist also removes tooth plaque or any unsafe substance deposited over there
- Then your teeth need to get a dental impression (a copied picture of your teeth) for measurement perfection of the crown to be secured to the place
- Finally, the teeth crown is cemented onto an affected tooth. The crowns may be made up of porcelain materials or zirconia.
What are dental bridges?
Dental bridge is a cosmetic dental process, wherein a single or more than one tooth would require restorative surgeries in order to bridge the gap departed by the lost teeth around the tooth area nearby the tooth gap. The patients with the misplaced teeth and yet a healthy structure left behind to back up the dental bridge would more probably require the dental bridges.
How are dental bridges fixed?
This cosmetic & restorative procedure would also go through the steps required as similar as those that the dental crowns would usually require. Proper workout on model and an overall look is very important before the whole procedure is initiated. The dental bridge is then shaped in order to fit and function as smooth as possible.
Both dental crowns and dental bridges can very well be supported by the Dental Implants, which in turn can go as functional & beautiful as natural teeth, in order to simply bring you an enchanting smile & a healthy teeth life!

Recently I wrote a post about how e-Learning can benefit entrepreneurs and small businesses by reaching a larger audience and leaving more time to spend on higher value activities. The biggest barrier to entry for those of us sans-IT department is not the cost or the skill, or even breaking the paradigm of teaching face to face; it is knowing where to start and what steps to take next.
Since I went through this myself, I know how bewildering it can be! I had several training courses developed and a pretty good feeling about myself as a teacher. I thought that was enough. But without a budget or a course designer as my partner, I had no focus and no clearly defined path. I wandered aimlessly, trying to find the right LMS, the right amount of content to start with, and the best way to market it. If I knew then what I know now, I would have done this:
1. Start with a book (published or not), a slide presentation that you can talk to, or an existing training course. If you don't have something already put together, you can still use e-Learning as your "publishing platform". But be prepared for a lot of time, money, and effort. You'll be tackling two huge tasks at once: compiling and organizing your thoughts plus the vastness of e-Learning options. Looking on the bright side, if you don't already have something put together, you can do so with your e-Learning course in mind.
2.Determine your budget! I had one client who told me that her budget was "angel's wings". This made it very difficult for me to design a plan for her. If I were an architect and you asked me to build a house, I'd need to know how big and how fancy you wanted it. It's no different for e-Learning design and creation.
3. Find a course designer who will work within your budget to:
- Determine your audience and their constraints, as well as your learning objectives for this course
- Create the course and curriculum architecture (even if you start with just one, you'll probably want to be able to add more)
- Determine the best blend of teaching methods for your audience
- Create methods of evaluation for both participant competencies and how your course meets their objectives
- Determine the best hosting solution (shared, branded site) for your situation
- Create a course (or courses) to fit all of the above.
No one, not even the best instructional designer in the world, can create a course without knowing these things. Even if you "give them all the materials", they need to ask these questions. If you find someone who does NOT ask you these questions, move on!
4. Prioritize your efforts and budget to meet the needs of your audience first. Do what you can to reduce the costs and timeline of designing and launching the course, but don't get in the way. Make sure the course designer you choose is willing to "share the load" with you, if that's what you want. Remember, she is working for you, not the other way around!
I have a client for whom I'm creating several courses. He does not have "angel's wings" for a budget, so we discuss what must be included, what should be included, and what we can leave until another time. I give him examples for things such as quiz questions, so that he can write his own. He's not as good as I am at writing questions, but he simply can't afford to hire someone to do it all. I don't see this as cutting into my work; I would rather have some business from him and help him, than to not work with him at all. In return, he trusts me to make instructional design decisions so that he can focus on taking care of his clients.
5. Stay focused and within your original scope. There is a simple tool often referred to as a multi-generation product plan (MGPP). For an e-Learning course, it might look like this [click here]. It allows you to have a lofty goal while still accomplishing important milestones along the way. There are numerous examples of how well this works; start small, earn and learn, improve and grow.
6. Gather and analyze data on participant scores, feedback, and participation so that you can adjust and improve. Short term revenue is not a good measure of long term success! You must understand if the course met your objectives, if the course met the objectives of your audience (and their superiors if they paid for it), and in general, what people thought of it. You'll know whether to add to or edit the content, or simply change the way you market the course.
If you follow these steps, in order, you'll find that you'll have your e-Learning course or site up and running before you know it. Determine your budget and stick to it! Create an MGPP and stick to it! Don't try to do too much because if you do, you won't be able to do any of it!
Next time I'll be writing in more detail about the web hosting aspects of e-Learning for small businesses and how to find a course designer.

Intel have launched an appeal against their €1.06 billion ($1.45bn) fine, which was imposed by the European Commission after they found the company guilty of anti-competition behavior. Intel had been accused of using "hidden rebates" to dissuade manufacturers from using processors made by rivals such as AMD; while the company has not requested a stay of judgment, this week it officially confirmed that it was filing an appeal with the Luxembourg Court of First Instance.
The absence of a stay – or "interim measures" as it is known – meant that Intel was forced to record the impact of the fine in their most recent financial figures, announced on Wednesday. The company recorded GAAP operating losses of $12m and a GAAP net loss of $398m; without the fine, that would have been a profit.
Intel have not made public the details of their appeal, but it's expected to retread an argument that the Commission misinterpreted or ignored completely evidence previously submitted. That evidence, it's believed, might paint Intel in a more positive light; Intel CEO Paul Otellini made the following statement after the judgment was made back in May:
"We believe the decision is wrong and ignores the reality of a highly competitive microprocessor marketplace – characterized by constant innovation, improved product performance and lower prices. There has been absolutely zero harm to consumers. Intel will appeal." Paul Otellini, CEO, Intel

His posthumous memoir recounting his rock and roll life is I'm Just Dead, I'm Not Gone (University Press of Miss.). Mary Lindsay and Jim are the parents of Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Miss. Allstars.
From Kirkus Reviews: "I'm Just Dead, I'm Not Gone – A memoir of sorts by the late Memphis musical legend, Jim Dickinson (1941-2009). A world-class storyteller, the book is a mix of homespun philosophy, hipster poetry, ribald anecdotes, and humanizing reminiscences about pretty much everyone who was anyone in Southern musical circles…"
In 1985 the Dickinson family moved to Hernando, MS where they operated a home studio before establishing the Zebra Ranch studio in 1995 near Coldwater; Mary Lindsay worked the business side of the operation that continues today. A former horse trainer and artist, Mary Lindsay recently earned a sixth-degree black belt in karate.
Jim Dickinson was pianist, co-band leader and real-deal presence extraordinaire on Thacker Mountain Radio – he coined the name, "Yalobushwhackers" – from February 2005 until just months before his death on August 15, 2009. He was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame in 2012.
David Rae Morris
David Rae Morris is a photo/journalist and documentary filmmaker and the son of late Mississippi author Willie Morris. His father's sports memoir, Always Stand in Against the Curve has just been re-issued by Yoknapatawpha Press., a southern regional press based in Oxford.
Each of the six autobiographical essays in Curve represent chapters of a sporting life: The opening piece, "The Fumble," is an epic account of a high school football player's worst nightmare. There's a college road trip to Notre Dame with "Bevo," the University of Texas Longhorn steer; a hilarious account of hitting an inside-the-park home run off Dustin Hoffman in a celerity softball game and breaking his foot in the process. Morris is a former Writer-in-Residence at the University of Mississippi, living in Oxford, MS from 1980-1990. He died in Jackson on August 2, 1999.
Dave Rae Morris's photographs have been published in National Geographic, Time, Newsweek, USA Today, and The New York Times, among others. His most recent film projects include documentaries on late musician Duff Dorrough and civil rights pioneer James Meredith and Yazoo Revisited, an award-winning examination of school integration in his father's hometown of Yazoo City, Mississippi. Morris lives in New Orleans.
Lilly Winwood
Lilly Winwood was born in Nashville and grew up in Gloucestershire, England. She became interested in music at age 9 when her musician father, Grammy-winner Steve Winwood, taught her to play guitar. Now based in Nashville, Lilly will open shows for her father this spring at such venerable venues as the Beacon Theatre in New York and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Her latest single is a duet with her dad on his classic, "Higher Love."

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The Maine Marine Patrol is going to be focusing on drunken operators this weekend as the boating season gets underway.
Maj. Rene Cloutier says coastal patrols from Kittery to the Canadian border will focus on boaters who may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They'll also be raising awareness of boating safety, and the importance of wearing a life jacket.
The effort is part of Operation Dry Water, which is coordinated by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators.
Nationally, alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in fatal boating accidents. The law for operating a boat is the same as operating a car, and the law is the same for operators of rowboats to the largest ships on the water.

Radiohead Unleashes "In Rainbows" Experiment
Radiohead Blazes New Retail Trail
Radiohead have unveiled one of the most ambitious music retail experiments to date. Dubbed "It's Up To You", the influential band will sell their new album "Rainbows" in the unprotected (Digital Rights Management Free) MP3 format for as little as one dollar starting October 10th.
Radiohead, who recently split from their longtime label, Capitol (EMI), after seven albums, has decided to initially unleash their album to the public digitally, and then a special box set in December followed by a general CD release in 2008. "In Rainbows" was produced by Nigel Godrich, who has been at the helm for the past ten years.
The special edition boxed set will cost $80 / £40 and include two vinyl albums, a CD version of the new album and a second CD with additional new songs, artwork and photographs of the band. The digital or boxed set could be pre-ordered from the group's website InRainbows.com, and early reports suggest that the box set is outselling the digital downloads 2 to 1.
The lowest price you can score the digital release is a dollar, which the group claims will only "cover the credit card fee," but that transaction fee seems high to us. With this approach, Radiohead has eliminated a label, a wholesaler and retail operations. In addition, Radiohead is now in complete control of "leaking" their own album, sinc no advance copies have been made available to the radio or media outlets.

This was an exceptionally enjoyable read. This book has suspense and so much originality that I don't think I have ever heard of the concept being used before. Sure everybody has heard of one book or seen someone on TV that has been trapped inside a cave but Laymon transforms this experience into something even more terrifying. The thing about all Laymon's books is that they have an element of truth hidden inside them. That on the off chance these things could actually happen and that is the scariest part of all. I highly recommended this book to anyone who is new to Laymon because it is not one of his longest but is a great display of his mastery. Get a copy now.
Reviewed by Chris Martin
Excellent! I love the way the story switches to different characters, instead of being restricted to one character. It made the storyline more exciting, wanting to know what was happening at each side. I love the fact that the males and females work together to 'save the day', instead of just one being labelled the hero. Rating: 9 out of 10! Leah Kowalski (email@example.com)

Rating History
If you distill this movie to the plotline, it is a totally predictable re-writing of every boxing (and most sports) movie ever made. Not even the fact that it is "based on a true story" can change that. It is a tribute to the writers, director and actors that this movie rises far above that restriction and turns into a captivating and entertaining move that is well worth seeing.
After a weak opening scene where I feared the entire movie was going to be trying too hard - like a made for TV movie - the movie found its pace and developed into a quirky funny little film well worth watching. I have a modest acquaintance with Russian political history and I thought the more you know about it the more likely you are to get the inside jokes and allusions.
The lead is a true 'rebel without a cause' who does not even have the courage to live his own life. Strangely he manages to take very (pseudo) courageous stands by trying to re-live the life of a Communist revolutionary battling a different world than the one Trotsky actually occupied. This is the point which could make or break this movie: does it successfully manage to create a world where this strange figure is at least believable?
I found that it snuck in just under my ability to 'suspend my disbelief' and as a result I liked this movie.
Colm Feore as Lenin/principal and Genivieve Bujold as the head of the School board (not sure of the historical Russian echo) were noteworthy.
I'm not a facebook type. Don't have an account and I don't plan on getting one. Nevertheless this movie worked for me in a manner similar to 'Up in the Air', 'Wallstreet' or 'Bonfire of the Vanities'. It's a movie about corporate greed and an individual compensating for his own lack of social skills by developing an elaborate social networking site.
I like the fact that the movie shows that the idea did not just strike in a lightening flash but instead was developed in a particular context: the university dating scene (or, in his case, the lack of dating scene). The movie also traces the evolution of the idea to what we see today.
The casting is exceptional. The characters are generally unsympathetic but occasionally a line such as 'this is moving so fast' gives a glimpse into the undoubted confusion of emotions caused by being attached to a rocketship like facebook became.
Although he wasn't the best of the cast, I think Justin Timberlake deserves special mention if only because I have rarely seen a singer who turns out to be such a good actor.
I really liked this movie...but I'm not sure why it needed to be made. I don't think it is much different or much of an improvement on the original. The original was funnier but this one may be seen as more realistic (except for the truly pathetic computer generated snakes!) or a bit truer to the novel (which I have not read).
Like many of the best westerns the movie presents a seemingly straightforward story with many layers of meaning. What is the true nature of 'justice'? How does it relate to 'vengence'? It presents evil as banal and examines the role of character (true grit) in human dealings. And, not least, 'violence' which is common both to good and evil is fully displayed (more so in this remake).
I particularly liked the use of the Iris Dement song at the end.

My betrothed and I will be in Paris tomorrow and then, on the 11th, off to wander the surrounding cities and regions in search of an inexpensive chateau to host a small celebratory vacation for our friends in the fall.
As we have no absolutely set plans for this search and a great sense of adventure, I'd love advice on where to head for great regional cusine, scrumptious local wines and perhaps some reasonably priced lodgings. Within about 3 hours of paris (by car.)
Our budget is not tight but we are not exactly ballers so I suppose one or two spendy meals could fit into our itinerary and the rest should be moderate or inexpensive. As for what we like to eat... I haven't met a French meal I didn't adore (even the lambs brains we ate last holiday were tasty if I didn't think about them too much) + we both fancy a foie gras + a truffle here and there if we can manage to work those treats into a meal or snack.
In terms of our loose destinations, it looks like we'll be hitting up a chateau near Brix in the north and then a few spots near Amboise (so quite close to Tours) and at some point expect to be near Reims and the Champagne region.
Any advice on where to wander for great food and drink (or any suggestions on how to find character-filled and charmingly priced chateaux for rent) would thrill us.

I wouldn't line up for an iPhone, but I would camp out to vote. Luckily I don't have to have to go to such an extreme. Thank you mail-in ballot!
A few generations back, ordinary moms like me were willing to risk it all, just for the chance of voting. They went to jail. They went on hunger strikes. They took to the streets, just so that I could have a voice.
I take my right to vote very seriously and exercise it at every election. I'm not going to forget how hard those women fought for me.
I want my children to have that same passion. That's why I'm jazzing them up about voting, through books.
This whole month of October we have been reading books about voting:
• "Elizabeth Leads the Way: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Right to Vote," by Tanya Lee Stone
• "Election Day (Ready to Read Level 1)," by Margaret McNamara
• "If you Lived When Women Won Their Rights," by Anne Kamma
• "I Could Do That! Ester Morris Gets Women the Vote," by Linda Arms White
• "Susan B. Anthony: Fighter for Women's Rights," by Deborah Hopkinson
• "If I Ran for President," by Catherine Stier
• "Vote," by Eileen Christelow
• "Grace for President," by Kelly DiPucchio
Most of these titles are available through Sno-Isle Libraries. They span a wide range of reading levels, so one of these books is sure to be a good fit for your child.
Another fun idea would be to watch "Marry Poppins" with your kids. I would totally sing "Well done! Sister Suffragette!" if anyone ever asked!

Jane Lynch
Jane Lynch or "Sue" in the very trending and popular TV series GLEE is also a proud member of the LGBTQ community. However, similar with the others, she had kept her real gender identity in the closet for so long in the fear of being judged and ridiculed by her heterosexual friends and relatives. It was very difficult for her to keep and not express who really is. On an interview, she even said that before, she thought that maybe being gay is really a disease because she seemed to be the only one in the world who has that kind of feeling. And she has never been more than thankful for the show Glee becasue it has opened doors for the LGBTQ members and it has broaden the perspective of people about who really are the gay, lesbian, transexual, queers, bisexual people.
Heather Matarazzo
Heather Matarazzo is an American actress who is very popular for her performances as a side actress. Her notable characters were Lily in The Princess Diaries and that dorky girl in the film Welcome to the Dollhouse. Heather came out as a lesbian when she announced on a national interview that she is madly in love with a girl. Many hollywood personalities have been proud of what she had done. One of her directors even said that she is a genuine person. "Any time a person can be honest with who they are it's a good thing… any repercussions will be short-lived. Heather's lucky because she doesn't fall into the typical Hollywood actress category. She's a true Hollywood individual." from that day forward, she has never been ashamed of who she really is.
