Glorifying God in the Routines
Kiss, hug, monkey blanket, book, pray. That's the summation of my preschool-age son's bedtime routine. His simple bedtime routine must mean the world to him because if I miss a beat or shake up the order, he lets …Read More

Note: This is the last post for Bold Words that will appear at https://boldwords.wordpress.com. Going forward, Bold Words will be self-hosted at bold-words.com. To continue receiving content from this blog, please be sure update your subscription information as described below.
My silence the last two months isn't a reflection of not having anything to say. Instead, the last two months have been filled with an internal debate about whether there was value in continuing to share what's on my mind. To that end, I've changed a few things that I hope will improve this blog and your experience reading it:
- Bold Words is now self-hosted (bold-words.com). Most subscribers should continue to receive their feeds as before; however, if you subscribed when my URL was still a wordpress.com address, you'll need to update your subscription. You can receive content via RSS or email.
- The design is still in flux, but I'll retain a clean, easy-to-read design that makes it easier for site visitors to read and find content.
- I'm committing to three posts per week; Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
- I'll handle any topics related to work on my new business blog at brittraybould.com.
Why the changes?
I consider these changes a re-commitment on my part to writing on a regular basis. Setting up the second blog and business site was an acknowledgment that I need a separate place to address work-related topics. The content at brittraybould.com focuses on helping small business owners and marketers find solutions to their problems, a topic of interest to me, since that's what a do, but not necessarily of interest to the bulk of the Bold Words audience.
What's next?
I expect the Supreme Court nominations will provide plenty of material during the coming weeks and months. The economy, and how we're choosing to address financial issues, occupy my thoughts, too. Plus, I'll have to address at some point the way we talk and write about things like the swine flu. If nothing else, our changing relationship with language is worthy of thought. Teens conducting entire conversations by text versus calling on the phone or sharing ideas via the 140 characters of Twitter all fascinate me.
I hope to spark conversations and make this summer one to remember.

Statoil shift to U.S. shale likely after recent attack in Algeria
Statoil ASA, Norway's biggest energy exploration company, could accelerate a shift toward U.S. shale investments and Brazil after last week's terrorist attack in Algeria.
Poor security in North Africa could prompt the company to focus even more on shale oil and gas in the United States and deep-water fields off Brazil, where most of the company's production growth is expected this decade, said Trond Omdal, an analyst at Arctic Securities ASA.
���Statoil is in a shift away from high-risk areas,��� he said. ���It will reinforce a trend, but a lot of this is already driven by macroeconomic factors such as a high oil price and technological advances.���
Statoil, which the Norwegian government owns 67 percent of, is expanding abroad to compensate for falling production from aging fields in the North Sea and to increase its production from about 2 million barrels of oil equivalent a day now to 2.5 million in 2020.
Relying mostly on so-called unconventional resources, Statoil plans to increase output in the U.S. to 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day in the same period, from 166,000 in the third quarter this year.
���We neither will nor can let terrorism dictate our strategy or our choices,��� CEO Helge Lund said Monday. ���We have a responsibility to run our business and support daily operations.���
Teodor Sveen Nilsen, an analyst at Swedbank First Securities, said that ���much of the growth in Statoil will in the future come from North America, and maybe Norway to some extent.��� Although Statoil is present in seven African countries, it isn't planning major investments on that continent, compared with other markets such as the U.S., he said.
Terrorist attacks such as the one on its In Amenas gas facility, in which at least 23 hostages were killed, according to local authorities, might lead Statoil to change its investment guidelines by increasing risk premiums when evaluating opportunities in African countries, Sveen Nilsen said.
Statoil operates the In Amenas and In Salah gas fields in joint ventures with BP Plc and Algeria's Sonatrach.
The attack also will highlight the comparative value and increase the attractiveness of assets in more ���stable��� countries such as Norway and the U.S., the analyst said. Statoil produced about 1.17 million barrels of oil equivalent in Norway in the third quarter, which amounts to almost two thirds of the company's total output.
Statoil probably won't withdraw from Algeria or other countries in the region based on the attack, Omdal and Sveen Nilsen said.
Norwegian companies won't shy away from engaging in foreign business, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said.
���We will never abandon international activities as a result of terrorist attacks. On the contrary,��� he said.
While Statoil has probably done its best to prepare, the company must now review all security and emergency provisions in high-risk countries where it's present, oil workers union SAFE said Monday.
���It has to lead to several concrete measures,��� SAFE leader Hilde-Marit Rysst said. ���From the pictures in the media, there seems to be potential for improvements��� in terms of outsiders' access to the facilities.
The attack also might make it more difficult for Statoil to recruit Norwegians for positions in riskier areas, said another union, Tekna. The company will need to train and rely more on local labor, union leader Marianne Harg said.
Rysst said that ���more people may choose to turn down such opportunities.���

Mocha Thumbprint Cookie Recipe
Baby Aria is very similar to my husband Lulu when it comes to her favorite foods. She loves vegetables and she adores sweets. Today I experimented with a batch of cookies I usually make when we have guests over for tea: thumbprint cookies. They're so pretty, especially with the crackle effect on the shortbread cookie dough and the whimsical design in the center indentation that almost resembles a crazy eye.
I flavored the cookie dough with cocoa powder and mocha paste. I filled them with vanilla chips and a drizzle of bittersweet chocolate, which came out just as great. Have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to sharing recipes next week in anticipation of Cinco de Mayo!
Yields: 22 cookies1 egg
1 teaspoon mocha paste
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 tablespoons powdered sugar
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
3 ounces vanilla apeels (see tips)
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons whole milk
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Making cookie dough:
In a bowl, cream the butter with the powdered sugar. Add the egg, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until the cookie dough is formed. Sprinkle with light brown sugar and mix until well distributed. Divide in 3 equal portions.
Gather 2 of the portions and add the mocha paste and cocoa powder. Mix until the color is uniform. Add the last portion and mix until you have a somewhat marbled design. Do not over-mix. Store in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
Baking the cookies:
Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats or sheets of parchment paper. Using a melon baller, form 22 balls of cookie dough and place onto the baking sheets. Make sure to space the cookies about 2 inches apart so that they don't touch each other as they expand when they bake.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes at 375°F. Open the oven. Press the center of the cookie using a melon baller or any small spoon. Lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 8 minutes.
Decorating the cookies:
For the vanilla apeels and dark chocolate chips, use or make a double boiler. Place a stainless-steel bowl filled with the vanilla apeels on top of a pot filled with hot water. Add 2 tablespoons milk. Repeat the same procedure with the dark chocolate chips but with only 1 tablespoon of milk.
As soon as the cookies are out of the oven, spoon about ¼ teaspoon of vanilla apeel filling into each thumbprint. Using a chopstick, drop in a little bittersweet melted chocolate and immediately swirl the filling in a pretty design using a toothpick. Let the filling set until firm.
Enjoy with a tall glass of milk.
Bon appétit!
Make sure to press the cookies half-way through the baking time to get nice crackled lines on the edge of the cookies.
I used Guittard vanilla apeels for the ganache. I bought them directly from my local store, the Milk Pail Market, 2585 California Street, Mountain View, CA 94040. You can also use white chocolate. Wherever you are, show your support to your local businesses.
For the double boiler, I always like to add a little kitchen towel underneath the chocolate-filled bowl. That way the bowl won't jiggle and there won't be any splatter of water in the chocolate. If the chocolate hardens, place the bowl back on the double boiler. You could also warm the chocolate in the microwave, 20 seconds at time and stirring in between takes.
I added milk to the vanilla apeels and chocolate to make the mixture smoother and more glossy. You can add any other dairy liquid, such as regular cream, or even omit this part if you want a thicker texture.
I buy Koepoe-Koepoe brand pastes. There are rose, mocha and pandan flavors. You can find them in Asian stores or at VeryAsia.com.
You can also store the thumbprint cookie dough up to 3 months in your freezer for last-minute surprise guests. Simply form the cookie dough balls, place onto the baking sheet, then in the freezer until hardened. Transfer to a sealable bag and store in the freezer until ready to bake.Published By: on April 26, 2013.

Sooner or later, everyone will have a customer service problem. It could be a rude salesperson. It could be a website that doesn't let you complete an online transaction. It could be a product that doesn't live up to its marketing claims.
Even the best company can do something that upsets you. What counts is how the company handles the situation once you complain. Were they defensive and blow you off or did they apologize and try to correct the problem?
Emily Yellin of Memphis, Tenn., had trouble booking a flight using her frequent flier miles. She called the airline and was told it was a problem with her computer. She knew it wasn't. So she kept calling. After four days and nearly six hours on the phone, someone at customer service finally admitted the problem was with the company's website.
"It was terribly frustrating," says Yellin, who wrote a book on customer service, "Your Call Is (not that) Important To Us." Added Yellin: "Customers feel that the people answering the phones don't care. The people who are answering the phones think customers are just crazy and have unrealistic expectations."
How to successfully deal with a complaint
The following seven tips are based on conversations with three super shoppers: Edgar Dworsky, who runs the website ConsumerWorld.org; Tony Giorgianni, associate editor for money at Consumer Reports, and my wife, Debra, who has mastered the art of returns and service after the sale.
1. Don't be confrontational: My wife is a big believer in the honey approach. "Be friendly and polite," she says. "If you're nice to them, they'll usually be nice to you."
Customer service people take a lot of abuse, sometimes for simply enforcing company policy. If you're nasty and say you're never going to shop there again, what's the incentive to help you?
"Companies don't want to lose customers," Giorgianni says. "If you're making a reasonable claim, even if it's outside the scope of some type of policy, they will often accommodate you if you are friendly."
2. Tell them what you want: Figure out what will make you happy. Do you want a refund, a new item or a discount because the item went on sale days after you bought it? Keep it concise. State your case and see what they say.
Bring along any paperwork that will help your case, especially the receipt. That can speed up the whole process. For returns, it guarantees you'll get the full price that was paid for the item.
3. Know the rules: Are you asking for something the company should agree to? For instance, if there's a 30-day money back guarantee and this is day 25, that's a no brainer.
"If they are denying you something you have a right to, then you might want to get a little bit more assertive," Dworsky advises.
But what if you're making that return on day 32? Then you're asking the company for a favor, to make an exception to its return policy. The customer service representative may not be authorized to break the rules.
4. Take it to the next level: Don't give up. Get turned down at the customer service desk and you should ask to speak to the department or store manager. If that doesn't work, you need to escalate to the executive level.
Write to the president or CEO of the company. You can find the information online. The big boss is not going to read your letter, but it may get passed along to what's called "executive resolutions."
"In many cases, things that were impossible to do at the lower level get resolved at the corporate level," Dworsky says.
If you call the customer service line and get the run-around, ask to speak to a supervisor. These days that does not always work. I've found that more often than not, I'm told there is no supervisor who can talk to me. Still, it's worth asking.
5. Keep records: You want to be able to document everything you've done to get your problem resolved. That includes when you called, who you spoke to and what they told you. Keep all correspondence.
6. Complain to a third party: If after all of this, you still can't things resolved — and you sincerely believe you are being mistreated — file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the appropriate government agency. In most cases, that would be your state's Attorney General or Consumer Protection Office. The Federal Information Center's Consumer Action site has a long list of agencies and groups that might be able to help.
"Tell them the steps you've taken and ask them to do something," Dworsky advises. "At most companies, separate people seem to handle complaints that go to the AG or the Better Business Bureau, so you may get a fresh ear to hear your complaint."
Your final option is small claims court. It doesn't cost much to file and there are no lawyers involved.
"When you send a letter of demand to the legal department of a company alerting them to the court action, you're going to get their attention," Giorgianni says. "Most companies don't want to get into a legal battle over a $25 item."
7. Make some noise: There's an old saying in the marketing business: "a happy customer will tell five people, an unhappy customer will tell 10." That was before the Internet.
"We have the ability to amplify that bad experience and have everybody hear about it if you talk about it online through Twitter or maybe Facebook," says Yellin. "This has become the one thing that has forced companies to take customer service more seriously. I see that very clearly."
Just be careful what you say, because you can be sued. Keep your comments factual and avoid name-calling.
A word to the wise
Smart shoppers check a company's reputation for customer service before they make a purchase. With the Internet, that's relatively simple to do. If you find a retailer that seems to have bad return policies or poor customer service, just don't shop there.

The fact that Tsehay Yohannes (ፀሃየ ዮሃንስ) has not been featured on the voluminous Ethiopiques series is a testament to the richness of Ethiopia's musical history. Born in 1961, Yohannes (also spelled Yohanis) started singing for the Kebur Zebegna band at age 14 and recorded his debut album, Tey Munit, in 1974. He later played with the Roha Band and Dadimos Band. Having grown up in Tigrai but born in Gondar, Yohannes sang both in Amharic and Tigrinya and promoted cultural unity in his lyrics. Great dissension remains today between separatist Eritreans, Habesha, and Ethiopians alike. Because Amharic is considered an invasive language to the other cultures, illiteracy is a complicated issue in Ethiopia. Yohannes' hit song "Berta Zemede," a tribute to activist Edeget Beheberet Zemecha, became the official theme for the the "Manbebena Mestaf" and "Meseret Temehert" movements which almost doubled the literacy rate of the country in the 70s and 80s. He released a new album in 2007 and continues to perform today. The videos below range from fried psych funk to the more traditional and show this electric performer's full range as well as his special way of singing with his hands.

Oh geez, it's been so long since I've lifted weights seriously (several years) that I don't even know what I'm at. I remember that I could bench 235 and squat 365 back when I weighed 205, though. Since I've stayed active, I expect my results remain comparable, but I can't say for sure.
Motivation to get back in the gym, eh?

I'm a distance runner, with 2 marathons on my belt. Working on a 3rd, though a bit hurt this time around. Add on some half-marathons and other shorter distances.
I've done some weights m'self a few years ago. Worked my way from barely benching 65 lbs. (LOL) and brought myself up to benching 155. Of course, since then, I allowed my running to dominate my workout routine. At least, my minimum is at 95 on any given day now.

Oh wow, there are posts?
This is a pleasant surprise.
I didn't include my running times because my cardiovascular condition sucks and I find running boring.
No offense to the long distance runners btw
@Cream lolno, misc is filled with uncouth savages and archtypical guidos.

Your squat best and deadlift are awesome BTW.
Wish I was able to do that at your age.
My Best bench press consisted of a 45 pound Olympic bar, four 45 lb plates, four 35 lb plates, two 10 lb plates, and two 5 lb plates.
I did one set of 3 of those after building up (pyramid style) for seven sets prior.
I could never bench that "cold" and would need at least three heavy warm up sets to do it again.
Although compared to professionals I'm a wuss.
Ryan Kennelly is the "God" of the Bench Press.
The man's a beast.

In honour of National Women's History Month (http://www.nwhp.org/whm/history.php), Lisa Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist blog (http://www.theaccidentalgenealogist.com/) presents Fearless Females: 31 Blogging Prompts to Celebrate Women's History Month.
I am not going to attempt to respond to all of the topics, and I am already too late to attempt to post them on the appropriate days, but I thought they were such a great set of blogging prompts that I wanted to participate.
March 2 — Post a photo of one of your female ancestors. Who is in the photo? When was it taken? Why did you select this photo?
This is May Black (1881-1951), my great-grandmother. I don't know where or when the picture was taken, but no doubt the hairstyle and clothing reveal a lot to someone who knows about such things. Neither do I know if the cockatoos and galah were hers or if they belonged to someone else.
The picture is rather scratched, but beyond the scratches the image is quite clear.
What I like about this photo, and the reason that I posted it, is that… look! She's posing with cockatoos and a galah! So many of the photos from generations back are stiff and formal but I think that this one has a warmth and sense of humour about it.

Gonzalez, Rockies edge Yankees
Denver, CO – Carlos Gonzalez clubbed a two-run homer and Jorge De La Rosa spun six strong innings of three-hit ball as the Colorado Rockies blanked the New York Yankees, 2-0, on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game set at Coors Field.
De La Rosa (3-3) walked one and fanned a pair before Matt Belisle and Rex Brothers each tossed a hitless inning of relief. Rafael Betancourt worked around a leadoff single in the ninth to nail down his ninth save.
Josh Rutledge registered three hits and scored once for the Rockies, who dropped two of three to the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend.
"We just want to get wins, regardless of who it's against," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. "We just want to click off as many wins as we can."
Hiroki Kuroda (4-2) was a hard-luck loser, scattering seven hits -- including Gonzalez's homer -- while striking out three over seven solid frames in the setback, New York's third in its last four games.
Kuroda held the Rockies down for much of the contest until Rutledge smacked a two-out single to center in the sixth.
Gonzalez then worked a full count before launching a fastball over the wall in right-center field to give Colorado a 2-0 lead.
"He just made a mistake," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Kuroda. "He made one mistake to (Gonzalez) and he made him pay for it. He made one mistake and it cost him the game."
Belisle and Brothers then blanked the visitors in the seventh and eighth, respectively, before Betancourt took the mound to start the ninth.
Jayson Nix opened the final frame with a single, but was quickly wiped away on Robinson Cano's fielder's choice to second.
Betancourt then fanned Vernon Wells and Brett Gardner to secure the victory.
Game Notes
Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was held out the Rockies' lineup with a sore left groin ... De La Rosa improved to 3-0 in four games (three starts) against the Yankees ... New York went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and left five on base ... Nix had two of New York's four hits.

"Clouds" singer known for viral hit dies from osteosarcoma
Zach Sobiech's battle with cancer may have ended, but the inspirational message he put out for millions will surely endure.
The 17-year-old high school senior from Stillwater, Minnesota recorded the song "Clouds" and posted it on YouTube last December, where it has been watched more than 3 million times since.
Sobiech died Monday, May 20, the Children's Cancer Research Fund reported. He had been diagnosed with the rare bone cancer osteosarcoma in 2009 when he was 14 years old, according to the organization.
Osteosarcoma is a bone tumor that usually develops in teenagers when they are growing rapidly, often around the time they are 15 years old. The condition is also seen in adults over 60.
It can occur in any bone, but often the tumors are found in the shin, thigh and upper arm, according to the National Institutes of Health. Chemotherapy is often prescribed to shrink the tumors, with surgery removing the rest of the tumor while saving the affected limb. Prognosis worsens once the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Sobiech underwent a hip replacement, hours of physical therapy, four major chest operations called thoracotomies, several minor surgeries, biopsies and months of chemo since his diagnosis, according to his website on the Children's Cancer Research Fund. By May of 2012, he found out the cancer spread to his pelvis and lungs, and he was given a terminal diagnosis.
"The day I found out ... it was a nightmare kind of thing," Sobiech told CBS Minnesota last December. "You just didn't really want to accept it. You are in complete denial."
He turned his attentions to his music, and wrote and recorded "Clouds" as a thank you to everyone who stood by him during his cancer battle.
"That's me expressing my feelings," Sobiech said. "Every time I listen to it I go back to yeah, that's right, all these people are here for me."
He added, "With my situation you don't have time to be sad or angry or anything. You have to just go because you don't have that much time."
Sobiech also earned a recording contract with music giant BMI for his song.
Earlier this month, when Sobiech was faced with only weeks to live, celebrities including Brian Cranston, Sarah Silverman, Rainn Wilson, Chris Pratt, Anna Faris and Jason Mraz released a celebrity version of "Clouds" where stars sing along to the catch tune, CBSNews.com's The Feed reported.
Throughout his rise to fame, Sobiech worked to raise money for the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund.
"There was something unique in Zach, in the way he approached it with maturity, with grace, with a sense of humor. And he said it many times - it wasn't about him," John Hallberg, CEO of Children's Cancer Research, told CBS Minnesota on Monday.
Sobiech was also featured in a documentary from SoulPancake called "My Last Days: Meet Zach Sobiech."
The Children's Cancer Research Fund has more information on Zach Sobiech.
Here is Sobiech with his hit, "Clouds":

A 14-year-old boy is recovering after doctors performed a fourth surgery to give him a new face.
Stefan Savic was born with a Tessier facial cleft which deformed the center of his face between his eyes, nose and mouth, according to the UK charity Facing the World.
Although Savic had surgery as an infant, the majority of his face was left unchanged until age 4 when he met Wayne Ingram.
Ingram, a British soldier, was assigned to a peacekeeping mission in Bosnia in 2003 when he first met Savic. While meeting with local officials, Ingram was handed Savic's picture.
"When I first saw him I was really heartbroken," said Ingram. "You don't want to see any child disfigured. At the time he was 4 years of age and had never been in school. He hadn't been introduced to other children."
Ingram met with Savic's father, who explained that the family had looked into further surgeries for Savic, but could not afford it. After meeting Savic, Ingram started to fundraise through charity soccer matches and press campaigns in his hometown of Dorset, England. Ingram said he was quickly able to raise enough money to fund Savic's first surgery.
"People were so generous. I think Stefan touched their hearts," said Ingram.
Savic underwent two surgeries at age 4 to help fix the majority of the defect. But doctors warned they were not finished. When Slavic became a teenager he would need another surgery to build out his nose.
Read About Screening For Genetic Defects
For the past ten years Ingram has stayed in touch with Savic and his family through Skype and visits. Last year Ingram went to visit the family again to ask if he could fundraise for another surgery.
"We're at the ten-year point, I want to start raising money and they gave permission. But unfortunately we had terrible floods in the UK," said Savic. "I was wary, it was a struggle here."
Ingram said towards the end of fundraising the needed 15,000 pounds, he started to run into trouble. Although he planned to sell his motorbike, an anonymous neighbor self-described as a "kind granny" donated the rest of the funds.
"The whole thing has been humbling, just seeing the generosity from people," said Ingram. "There's been lots and lots of different people who have helped. There's been many people who have donated."
Ingram said Savic, now 14, has taken the surgeries in stride without appearing to be too worried about them.
"He's turned into a really, really nice young guy. He's shy," said Ingram. "He's now aware of how he looks and I think if we hadn't had the operation…God only knows what he would have went through."
Ingram said the last surgery will hopefully be the final major operation. On Saturday doctors used part of the cartilage from Savic's rib to help reform a nose. The teenager's only worry was that his nose seemed a bit small. But overall Ingram said the teen has had a quick recovery.
"Even the nurses are amazed he's in recovery. It's really heartwarming we're nearly [done] now," said Ingram.
There is one more big event for Savic, while he's in the United Kingdom. Next week he's been invited by Prince Andrew to Buckingham Palace.

Gov. John Hickenlooper led the charge to get Amendment S on the ballot as part of his plans to change the way the state hires and fires people.
To many the voters, the amendment will seem like small and technical changes that could be handled by the Legislature. However, the state constitution governs much of the personnel system, and only voters can amend the constitution.
If passed, Amendment S would give the governor more power to hire people in his administration by removing up to 330 positions from the protections of the state personnel system. The governor could also dismiss members of the state personnel board.
The amendment would create several other changes:
- Supervisors could hire workers based on comparisons between finalists for the job, instead of their scores on tests.
- Six candidates for any job could be designated as finalists, compared to just three now.
- Out-of-state candidates could be hired if no Colorado residents could be found, and jobs located within 30 miles of the border would not be limited to Colorado residents.
- Temporary employees could be hired for up to nine months, rather than six.
- Hiring preferences for military veterans would be expanded.
The Legislature voted unanimously to put Amendment S on the ballot. There is no organized opposition to the measure, and the state employees' union is neutral.

Construction of a model of an X-ray illuminated cloud consists of the simultaneous solution of the local balance equations. The radiative transfer equation is solved for both the continuum and for the lines that escape the region near the point of emission. The large number of ions in the calculation results in many ionization edges that may affect the radiation field. We solve the transfer equation on a frequency grid that includes a total of 9999 continuum grid points with even logarithmic spacing in energy from 0.1 eV to 20 keV resulting in a limiting resolution of 0.12 , corresponding to, e.g. 8.6 eV at 7 keV. We calculate the luminosities of 10000 spectral lines and solve the continuum transfer equation individually for each of these. The emissivity of each line at each point is the product of the emissivity and the local escape fraction for that line. The continuum opacity for each line is the opacity calculated for the energy bin that contains the line. This procedure is repeated for each successive shell with increasing radius.
Calculation of the escape of the diffuse radiation field depends on a knowledge of the optical depths of the cloud from any point to both the inner and outer boundaries. Since these are not known a priori we iteratively calculate the cloud structure by stepping through the radial shells at least 3 times. For the initial pass through the shells we assume that the optical depths in the outward direction are zero. This procedure is found to converge satisfactorily within 3-5 passes for most problems of interest. This procedure is tantamount to the ``-iteration'' procedure familiar from stellar atmospheres, and must suffer from the same convergence problems when applied to problems with large optical depths. These problems are reduced in our case by the use of escape probabilities rather than a full integration of the equation of transfer.

There are in my life perhaps five people (not counting immediate family) I would consider to be my friends. I used to have a lot more than that, but over the last few years I have succeeded, both intentionally and accidentally, in shouldering off all but the most hardcore, trusty lot.
These five are my dead prostitute friends: that is, people I would call if I woke up in a hotel in Las Vegas and there was a dead prostitute in my room.
Three of them - Simon, Slang (girl) and MH (boy) - are criminal barristers. Julia Churchill, who often makes cameos on this blog, is a literary agent and Arnold (girl) is a television producer.
Arnold - a master of logistics - would spirit me out of the hotel and get me a fake passport and a rented flat in Havana, the criminal barristers would keep me from the chair if the feds ever came knocking and Julia would secure me a sweet book deal whatever happened.
They are also terrific in non life-or-death situations, too.
For all sorts of reasons I have been thinking about my DP friends recently and I realise that I've learnt something about friends in the last ten years: it doesn't matter how many you've got. Even if you've only got one: as long as they'll be on the next flight out to Nevada to save your skin, that's all you need.
Speaking of saving things, my husband performed open-heart surgery on the goulash that I had lovingly prepared for him and then BURNT and saved it from the bin.
What happened was this: I made the goulash (q.v.) in the normal way but made it in much too big a pot, so the water bubbled away leaving a trailing mess of burnt pork and peppers.
"Fuck." I said, looking at it.
"No it's fine," said my husband. He scooped out everything except the most burnt stuff, mashed it up in a different, smaller pot, poured over a wineglass of water and then heated it all very gently for about 20 minutes. Then we had it with a lot of buttery macaroni, sour cream and parsley and it was really actually quite nice.
"You can do this with anything that you've burnt a bit," said my husband. "I mean, not completely to a cinder, but the secret is not to disturb the most burnt parts, get out the stuff that isn't burnt and then rehydrate it elsewhere."
So there we go: how to save a stew.
And if you commit any more serious crime than that, in your kitchen or elsewhere, I know some great lawyers.

I have a love-hate affair with my fringe, when cut well I adore it when cut badly or getting too long I despise it – but seeing Chloé's stunning spring/summer 2014 campaign makes me realise how much I do love fringes.
The care-free seventies feel to this 'last weekend of summer' campaign is perfection, not only do I wish I was a Chloé girl like Lou Doillon and Julia Stegner, I also need to know the key to their impeccable bangs.
Each shot is amazing, I love the contrast between the blonde and brunette styles, but my favourite shot has to be how their fringes sit behind those oversized sunglasses – now if only I could look as chic with my out-of-control hair!!!
Do you have a love-hate affair with your fringe?

June is a wonderful month. They�re all pretty good, and I certainly wouldn�t want to do without any of them; but June has always been my favorite for reasons which have changed with my age.
When I was young, it represented the doorway into three months of school-less bliss. It was barefoot and baseball time.
In later years I wore shoes more often as my priorities changed. Most notably, Atlantic Beach heated up in June along with the jukebox at the Pavilion. Jackie Wilson and I spent a lot of summers together wearing the soles off of my Weejuns.
Those times were the most magic concoction of music, dancing, fishing and blankets spread under the stars on dark and deserted beaches. As decades rolled by, the stars remained in place but the strand from Emerald Isle up to Atlantic Beach is now anything but dark and deserted.
Along with the Pavilion, my dancing knees eventually gave out. Time dry-rotted the line on my fishing poles and sand wasn�t as comfortable as it once was.
But June magic still visits, just in other manifestations. One seasonal dividend that I now look forward to is fresh tomatoes. Those that travel directly from plant to sandwich without hitting a shelf are pure joy.
I love tomato sandwiches. I wouldn�t be surprised if someday the Food and Drug Administration classifies Miracle Whip as a Southern drug. I know I can�t live without it.
For me, the biggest magic of all takes place in Vegas. The annual World Series of Poker kicks off at the end of May and runs nonstop through mid-July. The entire month of June is wall-to-wall poker.
This year, the WSOP consists of 62 tournaments of varying games and buy-ins. I play Event 26, which is for �seniors� � which means you have to be over 50 to enter.
There�re so many older folks who enjoy playing poker, it is the largest single-day start tournament of them all. This year, I suspect entries will total just south of 5,000 but I won�t know for sure until they �shuffle up and deal.�
There�s a change this year that I really like. We�ll kick off at 10 a.m. instead of noon as it was in the past. That two-hour earlier start doesn�t seem like much but it means a two-hour earlier finish. It�s a big deal when you�re on Carolina time.
You�d be surprised how many familiar faces you run into out there. There�re folks I know from Havelock, Swansboro and Jacksonville who are regular participants.
For those of you who enjoy poker but don�t think you�re up to playing at such a huge shindig, you shouldn�t have a worry. The thing is so well-organized and officiated, there aren�t any confusions or frictions. It�s very smooth.
If you show up and observe a few tactical �no-no�s,� you�ll have about as good a chance as anybody. Raise or fold, seldom call. Don�t play out of position. And finally, pay attention to the other players.
Have a seat. You�ll be very welcome.

Arlington museum explores Frank Lloyd Wright's design for a middle-class home
In 1948, newlyweds John and Catherine "Kay" Christian had a vision for their dream house. The professor of bio-nucleonic research and pharmaceutical chemistry at Purdue University and his wife wanted a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Their budget was $22,000.
The story of their first contact with the world-famous architect through the building process to finalization is told in over 55 objects, including furnishings, drawings, videos, photographs, letters and books on display at the Arlington Museum of Art through Feb. 17.
It seems impossible that such a meager amount of money, the price of an economy automobile in today's dollars, could interest the mercurial architect who was then in his 80s. But in the last years of his life, Wright, who died in 1959, had turned his attentions to the needs of the middle class by designing a series of houses he called Usonian homes. They were modest in size, always one-story, with low horizontal orientations that nestled into their settings. They were miniatures of his much grander prairie-style houses which had brought him international acclaim. The Usonians had few interior walls, large banks of floor-to-ceiling windows and a seamless integration with outdoor living areas. The spacious living and dining rooms were separated from the small wing of bedrooms by the kitchen. Wright saved money by deleting garages, attics and basements. His walls for both the exterior and interior were sandwiches of stone or brick over an interior layer of insulation, so there was no need for paint or wallpaper.
Wright viewed the design of affordable housing a challenge worthy of his time.
In his 1943 autobiography he wrote, "The house of moderate cost is not only America's major architectural problem but the problem most difficult for her major architects. As for me, I would rather solve it with satisfaction to myself and Usonia, than building anything I can think of at the moment." Wright adopted the term "Usonia" (originally coined in 1903 by James Duff Law as an acronym for United States of North America, to distinguish it from the other Americas) for his economical home designs in part because it suggested "utopia."
The Christians visited several Usonian houses and contacted Wright in 1950. A series of letters were exchanged including Kay's 28-page treatise What We Need for How We Live, a detailed outline of their desires for their home, and an exacting list of their household goods. She included their hobbies (his: gardening, hers: collecting) and ideas, and their tastes. "We're conservative people yet we like things somewhat unusual but not to the extent of being extreme."
She listed all her storage needs. These included but were not limited to china, crystal, two dozen demitasse cups and saucers, lace tablecloths, bridge sets, doilies set, napkins and table pads for the dining room, and bedroom drawers for lingerie, belts, scarves, hankies, gloves and jewelry. She listed every single thing they owned that might need to be accommodated in general storage, as well as the functionality demands of the kitchen, utility room, outside areas and a basement that had so many multi-purpose rooms that it might have well been another house. She included charts for the average temperature extremes for their building site in West Lafayette, Ind., and a list of the 35 trees on their one-acre property including species, heights and diameters.
In 1954, Wright turned in his first set of drawings. There was no basement or formal living room for which the Christians had asked, and he estimated the design and construction budget for the 2,200-square-foot house at no more than $35,000. The Christians agreed to the cost, but advised Wright that the interior furnishings, also designed by him, would have to be bought as their income allowed.
On Jan. 1, 1955, the Christians received Wright's final drawings. Two days later, Wright received a letter from John questioning the need for such a large living room.
Wright replied via telegram. "Sorry you feel living room too large never yet have seen one too large if anything yours is too small." That ended the discussion and construction began in April. The Christians moved into Samara, named for the swirling seed pods of pine trees, in September 1956. John still lives in the house. Kay died in 1986.
Wright's terse telegram on yellowed Western Union paper is on display in the museum; so is Kay's book of needs and desires. Many of John's letters, Wright's drawings, and pieces of custom-designed furniture and decoration using the graphic seed pod created by Wright are also included. But the interest in this exhibit lies in the fine print found in the letters, books and drawings. This is a reading exhibit. To satisfy contemporary exhibit expectations, there are interactive displays and videos, including an interview with Wright by an aggressively hostile Mike Wallace.
The exhibit, "Frank Lloyd Wright's Samara: A Mid-Century Dream Home," will be of great interest to fans of the egomaniacal yet truly gifted architect, and lovers of midcentury architectural design will appreciate Wright's jewel box of house, with all of the integrated details and furnishings. However, the exhibit lacks visual punch and the displays have a disturbing randomness. The first item the visitor encounters is Wright's detailed drawing for the interior cabinetry, not a large photograph of the house or even Wright's elevation drawings. This is indicative of the entire exhibit, which was curated by Scott W. Perkins, curator of collections and exhibitions at Price Tower Arts Center in Bartlesville, Okla., home of Wright's only skyscraper. The installation is scattershot and only those people who have already been won over by Wright or his Usonian vision will appreciate the effort.

Luxury Web CampaignJune 02, 2003
Gathering support for the yet-to-be-conceived campaign, update after Zeldman weighed in on the matter.
Anyone wishing to eventually participate in this still vague idea may reply to this post. A name and link to a contact form will do, or just fill out the e–mail field in the reply box (it won't display publicly). You may also want to mention your specialty — coding, technical writing, translation, design, and so forth.
This is just for reference right now so you will be contacted eventually, but probably not immediately.
I am going to be seeking WaSP council on the matter once we've defined a clear strategy, so any WaSPers reading, don't worry — you'll be in on this too. We're not doing it without your blessing.
update: consider comments on this topic closed. (I haven't yet built that function into my MT templates, so the form remains)
Jeffrey Zeldman gives some very considered reasons why this campaign wouldn't have had the effect we'd all hope for. What do we do instead? I don't know yet.
Reader Comments
I help in what ever way possible. Design, coding (PHP/MySQL).
I'd like to help primarily with markup/coding and technical writing. I don't know what timeline you have in mind, but I'm going to be very busy after July with the whole grad school thing. My participation after then will likely have to be low.
Great idea, and already spreading the good word here. Visitors to my site who use IE (or spoof it) will see a random promotional message that links to Mozilla.org. Right now they all have to do with popups, like "Hate popups? Try Mozilla." When converting people in the past that has been the point they identified most strongly with. Of course to be truly evil the messages should be in popups themselves, but I'm in a good mood this afternoon.
To really make a difference advocate Mozilla I recommend converting the people you konw. Carry it around on a CD and install it for them. Make it their default browser. Put the icon where the IE one used to be. Make it quick load and tweak the settings so it works the way you like it. Install the Orbit theme. Then show them how to use tabs. You'll be surprised how many people take to it like a fish to water. Power users are usually harder to convert because they may be very used to specific features or shortcuts of a browser and the small diferences bug them.
I can help with coding and translating (nl, fr, ja). Quite busy having exams the next few weeks, though.
Red pill please. Jack of all trades by nature, I'd like to help with: markup, translation (romanian, afrikaans), marketing ideas, and anything else needed.
I would be more than happy to help. I already have a ton of ideas but I keem them shtumm until I hear more. (contact: http://www.smithpaul.com/contact/)
I would love to help even if it was just maintenances work. I can help with coding and flash. I have had an idea likes this for just Mozilla but I think this would be much better.
I would like to help out with promotion on sites I'm involved with once a streamlined process has been figured out. My specialty is… design.
I truly hope that this idea gets off the ground. I'd love to know that it's in action.
Dave - we talked. Just wanted to let you know I will be out of town from June 27-July 5 (wedding and honeymoon), but we should be able to get rolling before then.
Sign me up, if it gets off the ground.
I dunno how we'll pass Firebird off as "Luxury" though. ;)
Count me in - desing, coding, whatever…
Make that DESIGN – oh and subtract spelling from whatever. ;)
I can help, code, write, evangelize, anything. It's a truly great idea and its time has come.
I want to get my high school's admin to switch to Firebird before the 17th (and I've already got all of friends to do so), so it would be great to have some information to go behind that.
I manage three websites, all of which I only recently inherited (and am rebuilding with web standards), and which are all non-profit (so I don't have to worry about losing business or being fired).
I'll do whatever I can to help, and I'll have a ton of time on my hands after exams. I can write and edit, do some graphics work (not including drawing), code XHTML and CSS, test, communicate with third parties …
update: consider comments on this topic closed. (I haven't yet built that function into my MT templates, so the form remains)
Jeffrey Zeldman gives some very considered reasons why this campaign wouldn't have had the effect we'd all hope for. What do we do instead? I don't know yet.
I'll offer my time for any coding or writing/editing that needs to be done…
Will help in any way if I can. (code, maintenance, design)
I'm willing to help. I can do web design and I write technical manuals for the average user.
I'm interested in this effort. Not sure I can be of much help. Maybe.
