I would think your dog would learn! My dog has been skunked twice, one time it was the morning we were leaving on a trip and I was hours away from dropping her off at a dog sitter.

My dog got hit then my dad let him in before he realized it. The damn dog jumped on every piece of furniture it could find and was rolling around trying to get the nasty off.
That was a great week Found large quantities of charcoal in bowls helps to absorb the smell. Oh the smell. |

Nothing a couple cans of jigga clean cant fix.
A few years ago my dog rolled in something that had been dead for awhile. We were camping at silverlake and doing some two tracking. With no running water I didnt know what to do. I grabbed a can of jigga clean waterless hand cleaner and painted my dog head to tail. He went and rolled around to get the jagga clean off. When he came back the smell was gone. I did another dose for good measure. A few weeks later my freinds wife asked how many baths I had to give him to get rid of the smell. I told her that I forgot to bath him when we got home and still hadnt. He smelled like fresh flowers. I'm still amazed how well it worked. |

A mixture of baking soda, dawn dish soap and peroxide works wonders!
Yeah we know the smell of accidently letting him in the house from our Flint home...tok weeks with dryer sheets on the furnace grates to get our house fresh..lol Kelly, I honsetly thought that he musta lost his sense of smell with as many times as he goes willing after those dam things. No dead skunks to be found so it musta gotten away...which only means he'll get sprayed again lol |

We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by
Looks like my firewall is acting up and I can't edit the post I had for you about the Dior Addict High Shine lipstick. So while I work on that issue....I have a question for you all. I have some brand new and used makeup that I would like to sell. Would you all think it tacky to sell it here or should I just go to evilbay and sell it? (Obviously the used stuff I can't sell on evilbay)

CIA Director of Information Management to Receive FSU's Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award
Frostburg State University will present the 2014 Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award to Joseph W. Lambert, director of Information Management for the Central Intelligence Agency and a member of the class of 1979, at its 144th commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 22, during the 9:30 a.m. ceremony for the Colleges of Business and Education.
Lambert entered on duty with the CIA in 1984, serving in the Office of the Deputy Director for Intelligence and the National Intelligence Council. He has worked as the information management officer for the National Photographic Interpretation Center and the Directorate of Intelligence.
He has also served as the director of Information Management for the National Imagery and Mapping Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office.

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is doing its part to help provide energy security and reduce energy costs for the military as an energy advisor to DoD and, in this case, the U.S. Navy. DoD accounts for 80% of federal energy use, and it spent $19.4 billion on energy in 2011. NREL is currently focused on helping slash the 21% of DoD energy costs that are spent to operate DoD installations around the world.
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have designed a low-cost, long-life "flow" battery that could enable solar and wind energy to become major suppliers to the electrical grid. Their new flow battery uses a simplified, less-expensive design than other batteries, which may improve its scalability and cost-effectiveness. In laboratory tests, it also demonstrated excellent energy-storage performance through the equivalent of more than 5 ½ years of daily charge and discharge cycles.
Renewable energy companies moved a step closer to accessing a tax financing structure that's worth more than $350 billion as the American Petroleum Institute said it would back Congressional plans to expand the program. Allowing wind farms and solar-power plants to organize under a corporate structure known as master-limited partnerships would help wean them from federal subsidies, Jack Gerard, president of the oil industry's main lobby group, said today at the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit. MLPs already offer tax breaks to fossil-fuel producers and pipeline companies. MLPs let companies raise funds like a corporation and pay taxes as a partnership. They are traded on public exchanges and the market value of U.S. MLPs exceeds $350 billion, according to data on Delaware Senator Chris Coons' website.
Vestas Wind Systems, a Danish wind turbine maker with four Colorado manufacturing plants, virtually tied General Electric Co. in terms of global wind energy market share in 2012 in a report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, based in London. The two companies have been neck and neck in various reports in recent years. Only 50 megawatts worth of newly installed turbines separated the two global companies in 2012, according to a story from Bloomberg Businessweek.
California may face the biggest regional power shortages in more than a decade this summer, sending wholesale prices higher, as idled nuclear reactors and low hydroelectric output cut generating capacity. The California Independent System Operator Corp. said last month that managing the state grid, especially in parts of Southern California, will prove "difficult" because the system will be operating without Edison International (EIX)'s San Onofre nuclear power plant and two natural gas-fired units, while hydroelectric output will be at a three-year low. The nuclear plant, California's single largest source of baseload power, accounts for 3.7 percent of the state's capacity.
Following cost-allocation recommendations from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has released a revised proposal to share the costs of oversupply among customers using its transmission system, including hydropower and wind energy generators. BPA says each user, including BPA Power Services, would bear its proportionate share of the costs based on its level of use. In 2011, BPA curtailed approximately 97.5 MWh of generation, including 350 MW of wind power, during a period of hydropower oversupply. BPA's policy at that time, called Environmental Redispatch, did not include a mechanism to reimburse generators for the cost of displacement, and FERC ruled in December 2011 that the BPA's actions unduly discriminated against wind energy.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has set Jan. 1, 2014, as the date to officially link the state's cap-and-trade program with that of the Canadian Province of Quebec. California and Quebec have worked together over the past four years to develop their respective cap-and-trade programs to provide for potential linkage. According to CARB, the linkage agreement provides an opportunity to closely monitor and fine-tune these first two programs, setting the stage for similar arrangements with other jurisdictions that are committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs).
House Republicans helped sink a bill pushed by one of their own leaders that would have scaled back and later repealed requirements that North Carolina electric companies generate a set portion of power through efficiencies and alternative sources. The House Public Utilities Committee, on an 18-13 vote, defeated a motion that would have phased out a landmark 2007 law and end the requirements by 2021.
Nebraska would be poised to gain a $300 million wind farm under a bill given resounding initial approval Wednesday. The measure would provide a sales tax exemption for the purchase of turbines, towers, and other wind-farm components — a tax break that nearby states Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma have parlayed into a wind-energy boom. Meanwhile, Nebraska has lagged behind, ranking 26th of the 39 states that generate wind energy, despite having the fourth-best wind resources in the country.
Earlier this year, the residents of Boulder, Colorado moved forward with a plan to break away from their current electricity company, Xcel Energy, in order to establish a new municipal utility. The goal is for the city to provide its utility customers with more wind power and other forms of clean energy. In the latest development, just last week the Boulder City Council voted to move ahead with the final steps.
ABB, a Switzerland-based engineering firm, has plans to acquire Power-One, a US-based solar energy firm for $1bn. The transaction, expected to be completed after the summer, will have to be approved by shareholders, reports BBC.co.uk. The firm manufactures inverters, which transform the direct current produced by solar cells into the alternating current required by electricity grids.
Chevron Technology Venture is planning to build a solar photovoltaic system facility on 4.5 acres of land that its parent company, Chevron USA Inc., owns in Hawaii and sell renewable energy from the development to Hawaiian Electric Co. through its feed-in tariff or FIT program. The San Ramon, California-based company is managing the project for Chevron Corp. Hawaii.
A Washington company intends to moor five wind turbines off the Oregon coast, and hopes the project dovetails with a separate proposal for liquefied natural gas. The Coos Bay World reports that reluctant fishermen on the southern Oregon coast agreed after six months to support Seattle-based Principle Power's plans for a 30-megawatt wind energy flotilla off the waters of Coos Bay.
Google has spent more than $1 billion in solar and wind energy projects but it ultimately has no control over the fuel that produces the electricity that powers its data centers. Google today is proposing a new tariff to buy renewable energy directly from utilities, a model it hopes will help scale renewable energy for data centers and other big energy consumers. At its Lenore, North Carolina data center, Google today is announcing plans to spend $600 million to expand there, which is on top of the $600 million it has already spent. In tandem with the event, local power provider Duke Energy says it will submit a renewable energy tariff to the state utility commission within 90 days. The tariff would allow large power consumers, such as the many data centers in North Carolina, to buy renewable energy from specific projects in the area.
Mere months after SoloPower, the maker of cutting-edge solar panels, opened a manufacturing plant in Portland, Oregon, backed at all levels of government, it is suspending operations. The Oregonian newspaper broke the news on Monday after catching wind of a plant-closing notice that SoloPower had delivered to the state workforce development agency. SoloPower won state and local loans and tax credits valued around $35 million with the promise of annually spooling out, eventually, 400 megawatts of lightweight and flexible PV panels perfect for commercial and industrial rooftops unable to handle standard hard panels and racks. That production level was going to translate to 450 employees, according to plans.

Jacob said before somewhere these are rated for 1250W RMS.
and there i stand corrected, i remember a while ago the x line was supposed to be a 1k... but we all know how that goes.
I got a bit more ambitious with the design -- I believe we'll see around 30-31mm of Klippel verified one-way linear travel from these as well... once I get the report back I'll post it up. A similar topology over-hung we did with a 15mm shorter coil Klippel tested at 24mm one-way and we have 7.5mm more over-hang so should measure out right at 30mm or so if all scales well :)
I am very excited about this line... a truly high excursion line at reasonable prices. I had a very particular vision with this line in mind -- I was not happy with simply making an evolutionary step from the SA line as our previous prototype from a few years back was. I wanted a fully new platform line to delivery truly GREAT performance. I think once the final specs are released and people see / hear these they will be a big hit.
Another cool thing about the X series motor is that it can be pretty easily re-coned with many popular 3" coils from custom sources such as FixMySpeaker in case someone tears one up and wants to go that route :) Many 8-layer flats will fit the gap.
The X-12s are out for magnetizing right now; haven't shipped the 10,15,18 yet so here are some pics of their depths :
What size enclosure do you anticipate the X-10 will require?
Look beast.
Anf what is the xmax
Until there is a Klippel report done I can give you several ratings of x-max that aren't as accurate; but will prefer to get the Klippel result for the "official" x-max figure on it :)
You can go nearly as small as what the current models require; but not quite -- so as small as 1.25 or so. One of the benefits of having SO much mechanical capacity is that if your box needs to be bigger you won't hurt the driver -- you could go much larger without worry than the older designs.
When will i have the option to see a price! LOving how these look
You have the option right now. You obviously didn't read the thread. See post #11 in this thread.

35 comments:
Very nice, Georgina! Lovely and lighthearted room along with its decorations.
johnbmarine.blogspot.comLove the fabric! I love spoonflower,hopefully one day soon I will be able to print with them :)
Your image wall is looking great, when I was growing up I never wanted to have pictures art or anything on my walls, but now that I have been living in this basement for such a long while I have been finding myself wanting to hang things on the walls but without the ability because it isn't my home, maybe in the future :)Your illustrations are so gorgeous! I absolutely adore that fabric print design, too ♥ Have you considered selling your illustrations as prints/printed goods?
ReplyDeleteOmg so cute! Love these! You're so talented! x
http://rosalindatj.blogspot.com- Anonymous13 July 2012 at 19:00

If you do end up making Spoonflower fabric, could you please make it available to purchase? I would love a dress with that print!
You have amazing talent, I could easily see this sort of thing at Paperchase... in fact it's better than anything at Paperchase right now! So much love for everything in this post xxHello!! I linked to you from a video Louise 'Sprinkle of Glitter' posted on Youtube...so I thought I'd say hi! I've browsed through a few posts and I love your style, and that you are a fellow pinkhead!! :-) I've even managed to work out how to subscribe to you, which I was a bit impressed with! :-) xx
Hi, thanks for commenting! I read every comment I recieve & if you have a question I do my best to reply. However you might find it quicker to reach me by my Twitter @cupcakesloveme. Have a nice day! :D xx

a bit flat...
hello lovely people...
i have been absent. im sorry. i have been in a bit of a funk lately - you know those weeks where you just don't feel like yourself? well, im into my third week like that in a row. i think it is partly because i lost my camera charger and BOTH my camera batteries are flat so i haven't been able to take any photos. and partly because i spend so much time at work (grrr). and partly because i haven't been running in a couple of weeks.
BUT... i found my camera charger on the weekend, have holidays in less than three weeks and am leaving work early tomorrow to go for a run. it really is the little things that make a big difference :)
all images are from this lovely blog

a shoe girl?
i love them. i think it's the green.
i think these shoes and i could be really happy together...
(unfortunately, i do not love the price tag)
**found here via rennes
p.s - with the combination of blogger having a tantrum over the weekend and my still missing camera charger, posts might be a little light on until i track down a spare battery or a new camera :)

four happy things on friday
...after a short break, 'four happy things on friday' is back :)
One of my resolutions for this year was to be more intentional - with my relationships, with my time and with my focus. In an effort to continue this, I will post four photos from my week of things or moments that have made me happy. I feel like I sometimes miss out on joy just because I'm not looking. Here's to changing that!

attention vintage sheet lover and swappers.
after many hours of sorting, counting and lusting after fabrics your FQs are winging their way back to you. I am having to post them in stages because they don't all fit in my car. the last phase will be posted tomorrow!
Some of you should be getting some lovely parcels in the mail before the end of the week!
just want to say a BIG thank you to those of you who included a handwritten note and a little something extra... it was not expected but definitely appreciated!!!
There were a few FQs that have been returned to some of you because they were dirty or unsuitable for the swap... i do hope that this is not a problem! I have been unable to check each and every FQ for holes or marks but i am counting on people only sending something that they would be willing to receive...
i do REALLY hope that you are all happy with what is returned to you. please email me if you have any problems or questions! and please let me know any posts you do about what you have received and created with you new vintage FQs!

Underwater I Spy Alphabet Bottle
Sparkly, glittery water is sure to attract little eyes. This alphabet bottle is fun to make and a great activity to keep your child busy either inside on a rainy day or traveling in the car. The craft helps kids recognize letters in a creative way, and is also a great time to start a quick conversation on recycling.
Click to find similar content by grade or subject.
What You Need:
- Empty water or plastic soda bottle (best to use one without ridges)
- Alphabet beads from the craft store
- Glitter
- Sequins or any tiny sparkly things
- Corn syrup
- Water
- Sheet of paper
- Highlighter
- Glue gun (optional)
What You Do:
- Write the alphabet from A-Z on a sheet of paper. Have your child lay all the beads from A-Z on the table. Check that she has all 26 letters and then drop them into the empty bottle.
- Have your child drop in sequins. Help your child sprinkle some glitter inside.
- Fill half the bottle with water and the other half with corn syrup. The corn syrup slows down the motion of the contents and helps the glitter not to stick together.
- You can hot glue the lid onto the bottle so little hands don't spill.
- Shake it up and watch the pretty water! How many letters can your child spy? Using the alphabet paper you wrote, have her highlight each letter she can find. Can she also spot the letters in her name? Have fun shaking!


text: Researchers Discovered a New USB MalwareVirusBlokAda, a Europe-based anti-virus company, reveals that a new malware is creating problem in the method Windows handles shortcut files, as per the eSecurity Planet news on 15th July, 2010. Shortcut files or files which ends with '.lnk' extensions are Windows files that connect (so the 'lnk' extensions) easily notable icons to particular executable programs and are normally located on the Desktop or Start Menu. These shortcut files are exploited by the criminals. A shortcut works only when a user clicks on its icon. However, the security firm has noticed that these harmful malware could execute automatically, if someone writes them to a USB and afterwards accessed by Windows Explorer. On 17th June, 2010, the researcher at the antivirus firm (VirusBlokAda) stated that they had found two new malware sample, which could infect a totally protected Windows 7 system. These malware were attached to the antivirus bases - naming Trojan-Spy.0485 and Malware-Cryptor.Win32.Inject.gen.2. While analyzing the malware, the researchers found that the USB storage device was used by this Trojan to spread further. Hence, the researchers warned that these viruses harm the Operating System unusually through discrepancies in processing lnk-files (not using an autorun.inf file). The malicious process begins when a user opens an infected USB storage device through Microsoft Explorer or some icons to harm the Operating System to allow the malware operate. Sergey Ulasen, an anti-virus expert at the company, stated that the malware infected two drivers: "mrxnet.sys" and "mrxcls.sys," according to a news published by KrebsonSecurity on 15th July, 2010, The two installed drivers are attached with the anti-virus bases as Rootkit.TmpHider and SScope.Rookit.TmpHider.2. Realtek Semiconductor Corp. signs both the drivers with digital signature. Around the world, many Rootkit.TmpHider and SScope.Rookit.TmpHider.2 have been detected by the security experts after the inclusion of new records to the antivirus bases. Regarding the technique used for infecting, the security researchers stated that the malware spreading through USB was very common. Most of the malware spreading through USB and other removable drives, generally takes the help of Windows Autoplay or Autorun aspect.

Maytag dryer Making loud noise
Model Number: MD6000XDE Brand: Maytag Age: 1 - 5 years
I have a Maytag Maxima Md6000xde Dryer SN M23302039. This unit is just over 1 year old and has gotten very noisy. At first it would start out quite then started getting louder after it ran a little while, then the last few days it has gotten to the point where it starts out noisy. The noise is loud vibration almost like a bearing but with out the squeal.. I took the dryer apart and cleaned every thing checked the drum support bearings, the felt seals and the motor, I even added a few drops of oil on the bearing shafts. When I but the dryer back together it stills has a loud sound to it the noise level hasn't decreased. Any Ideas, I suspect the Drum support rollers. The belt looks good with no signs of wear. Thanks Billchapjr Related Models |

Your model number is invalid or incomplete check inside the door or on the back of the unit. Only being a year old i doubt it's the roller shafts that's very rare.
Check the blower wheel for debris and the dropdown from the lint trap of debris. Make sure your unit is completely level and on a solid floor. Check the drum for warping or parts grinding or separation of the drum. Check the belt tensioner and spring. Check the motor shaft for any wobble. Check the front panel where the drum rests if it sits on the front checking the plastic guides if it sits on. Not knowing your correct model those are the things i'd check just to give you an idea. |

Reflection: Student Ownership Organizing Data (Owl Pellets Day 2) - Section 2: Independent Practice
Many times throughout the year, students work in collaborative groups to develop a classroom culture that honors how we can learn from one another. For this project, students support each other, but each student creates a personal project.
The students take ownership of their line plots and attend to precision because they each have a unique set of data. I am careful to provide time for students to share their data with one another because they become very excited and proud of their own findings.
When students collaborate about something that is unique, they build their ability to communicate more clearly with one another (both as listeners and as speakers).
Organizing Data (Owl Pellets Day 2)
Lesson 3 of 10
Objective: SWBAT organize data into a line plot.
Big Idea: This culminating project allows students to dissect owl pellets, collect data about the owl pellets and the bones inside, then graph this data.
After students have collected data about their owl pellets. The data must be organized. To introduce this lesson, I briefly review line plots with the whole class. To prompt their thinking and start a class discussion, I ask:
• What is a line plot?
• What is it used for?
Line plots are used for organizing data, they are important because it helps us read the information more easily. Once data is organized, mathematicians and scientists can determine the results and also ask questions.
The next part of the assignment is to organize data into a line plot, then use that line plot to make statements about our discoveries and ask questions about things that we are curious about.
I ask students to use their data collection sheet (from day 1) as a resource to determine the types of data that were collected. As students share, I write all categorical data in one color on the board and all numerical data in a different color. Then ask the students to consider why some data is listed in one color and other data in another color. Students think-pair-share their ideas. I pull most of their suggestions together to explain that data can be in word form (categorical) or number form (numerical).
All line plots (with categorical or numerical data) have essential components. Next, I ask students to list the parts of all line plots: title, label, key (if x doesn't equal 1), even spacing, and all x's are the same size. I emphasize the importance of precision.
Today, all students will make a categorical line plot about the types of bones found in their own owl pellet. The results will differ, but the set up will be the same, so students can provide one another with support in the process.
Resources (3)
Independent Practice
After reviewing the parts of a line plot and the importance of precision, students work on creating their own line plot. Each student uses the data they collected when dissecting their owl pellet.
Students are provided with graph paper (small and medium sized grids) to choose from.
I let the students get to work without too much prompting, because they will learn most about the importance of planning ahead if they make mistakes along the way.
While students are working I have a progress conference with each student to monitor their paper orientation, placement of the x-axis, and precision because these are common errors that students make in the process of creating a line plot.
Students also support each other as needed.
When students complete their line plots, they write 5 - 10 statements about the data they have collected.
Resources (3)
As a wrap up, students gather on the carpet to share their experience of creating a line plot. They are encouraged to share any challenges they faced or help given to a peer.
Then, they turn and talk to a partner to share some of the statements they made about the data they were working with.
Finally, I ask students to share some questions they would ask if they could survey the class about owl pellets. These are recorded on the board and will be used to introduce the next part of the project.

Wilen, a senior at Palo Alto High School and a tenor in the Paly choir, said he is "lucky to have been performing enough that the audience isn't that big of a deal ... I just get up on stage and sing."
He will have many opportunities to do just that later this month when the Paly concert choir attends the National Youth Choral Festival in San Francisco along with 11 other high school choirs from across the country. The San Francisco men's choir Chanticleer will host the festival, hold clinics for the student singers and perform with the groups in a festival concert on March 29.
Wilen will also sing in a small honor chorus at the festival, and is one of three young singers chosen to take a master class from the renowned mezzo-sopranos Frederica von Stade and Zheng Cao, who will also perform at the concert.
"It's easily going to be the biggest thing I've ever done," he said.
The master-class students will each sing one song for von Stade and Cao, who will then critique the performances. Wilen said he will probably perform "Lachen und Weinen," a "lied" — German for "song" and a common Romantic-era form — by Franz Schubert.
During a recent interview with the Weekly, Wilen sang "Lachen und Weinen" in his Palo Alto home. The song was pleasant and sprightly, with several tricky jumps and extended notes. His voice was clear, bright and assured — and he'd had no time to warm up.
Wilen's voice and musical versatility make him "a college music teacher's dream," Paly choir director Michael Najar said. Wilen was recently accepted to Chapman University and is still waiting to hear from several other colleges. He plans to major in vocal performance, he said.
"He's a tremendous musician. He's incredibly sensitive to the music around him, but he still applies his own touch to it," Najar said.
Singing in the San Mateo boys' choir Ragazzi, as Wilen has done since age 8, improved his musicianship, he said. The group teaches its members music theory from a young age.
Genetics seem to have contributed to Wilen's musical sensibilities as well. One brother, Henry, plays the violin and mandolin and sings in Ragazzi. His youngest brother, Jesse, plays the piano, and his mother, Stefanie, plays the piano and flute.
Wilen also sings with Peninsula Teen Opera and the jazz choir Top Shelf. He estimates that he has sung in 16 concerts — eight with Ragazzi, "four or five" with Paly and two each with Peninsula Teen Opera and Top Shelf — since August.
Wilen has also somehow found the time to pick up the piano and the guitar, start an a cappella group with three other choir members and act in two school plays. Yet he still wants to accomplish more.
"I have a friend, Axel Mansoor, who plays guitar. ... We've been thinking about writing some stuff for guitar and voice, for two guitars," he said.
He wants to improve his classical repertoire as well.
"I would love to someday sing 'Ah, mes amis' from (the opera) 'Daughter of the Regiment.' ... I don't want to speak for all tenors, but for me, it seems to be one of the holy grails for the light tenor," he said.
Wilen's favorite operas are Mozart's "Magic Flute" and "Marriage of Figaro," and Puccini's "La Boheme," he said.
"I (also) love singing Schubert 'lieder' ... if I had to pick a favorite piece of music, I might have to go with 'Du bist die Ruh' by Schubert," he said.
When asked why he likes classical music, Wilen said: "I just love the emotions it can capture, and the music itself. ... I find myself wondering what people are going to be listening to in 400 years.
"Is it going to be 'Bohemian Rhapsody,'" he asked, gesturing at the door, through which that song could be heard playing in the next room, "or is it going to be 'Daughter of the Regiment'?"
Still, Wilen said he enjoys electronic music and classic rock as well.
'I've been rediscovering the Doobie Brothers. I like 'Long Train Running' — it's my ring tone right now," he said.
He paused. "Except I have the Mozart Requiem 'Dies Irae' for my parents," he added with a laugh, referring to a rather ominous section of Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor.
Wilen said many of his friends either already enjoy classical music or are willing to learn about it. He recently convinced some of them to buy standing-room tickets to the San Francisco Opera's production of Verdi's "La Traviata."
"They loved it ... they hadn't been to much opera," he said.
The master class at the National Youth Choral Festival is open to the public, so Wilen will probably sing — and be critiqued — while the rest of the festival attendees watch. He said he is only slightly anxious for now but "the nerves will come."
Performing for professional opera singers would test the composure of any young singer, but if Wilen can give a polished impromptu performance for the press, he may have no problem.
What: Nathan Wilen and the Paly concert choir sing in Chanticleer's National Youth Chorus Festival.
Where: Davies Symphony Hall at 201 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco
When: March 29 at 8 p.m.
Cost: $20-$44

Senior officials overseeing the building of London's Olympic venues were criticised last night after awarding lucrative contracts to a number of firms which had given them generous hospitality.
An investigation by The Independent on Sunday has uncovered an estimated £1.3m lobbying effort by companies competing for a share in the £9.3bn budget for the 2012 Games.
The junkets have included VIP tickets to the opera and England football, rugby and cricket matches, champagne receptions, garden parties and extravagant lunches and dinners.
The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) has a strict policy of refusing hospitality from firms while tendering negotiations are active, and denied suggestions that contracts were awarded on the basis of hospitality.
But official documents seen by the IoS show that, on a number of occasions, ODA executives were wined and dined by firms who were later given multi-million pound deals. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by either party, but smaller contractors – especially those outside London and the South-east – have complained that they cannot compete with some of the multinationals involved.
The ODA's corporate hospitality register dating from January 2006 to June 2008 records a total of 930 individual lunches, dinners, drinks parties and sport and theatre tickets accepted by 51 executives – more than one event a day throughout the two-and-a-half-year period.
Some firms provided hospitality after contracts were signed while others were not awarded any contracts. Yet £6bn worth of contracts, including security, overseeing the legacy of the Games, and more building work, are still available.
The sheer scale of the hospitality lavished on ODA officials also raised concerns that they are spending too much time enjoying free gifts when they should be focusing on ensuring the 2012 Games are delivered on time and within budget.
As Great Britain celebrated winning 19 gold medals in Beijing in its best performance for 100 years, London Mayor Boris Johnson yesterday said he would attempt to deliver an "intimate" Games and bring the total cost under the current price tag of £9.3bn.
There are concerns that the rising cost of building supplies and a predicted slump in the value of Olympic Village apartments to be sold off after the event means that the budget will exceed £10bn.
The ODA, a public body, is responsible for delivering the venues and infrastructure of the Games, including transport links and security. There are 60 senior officials, including a 13-strong board. The total wage bill, paid for by the taxpayer, comes to more than £2m a year, not accounting for junior-ranking employees. Nine ODA officials declined hospitality.
The hospitality accepted was offered by 250 companies, lobbyists and organisations with varying levels of interest in the 2012 Games.
It includes 11 breakfasts, 130 lunches, 243 dinners, 79 drinks parties and 167 receptions. There were also 92 tickets to sport events, often including VIP hospitality and the best seats, 73 tickets to the theatre, opera or art exhibitions and 133 seminars or conferences. One executive recorded two nights of hotel accommodation. The estimated total cost, including expenses, is £1,347,825.
The construction firm Lend Lease, heading a consortium selected in March 2007 as the preferred bidder to build the £1bn Olympic Village, gave hospitality on seven occasions, at least one of which pre-dated its being chosen.
Lend Lease said yesterday that it did not offer hospitality to anyone from the ODA before it was selected as preferred bidder.
But the ODA's own documents show that ODA chief executive David Higgins accepted dinner paid for by Lend Lease on 10 February 2006. They also paid for dinner on 7 March 2007, two days after they were chosen. Mr Higgins is a former group chief executive of Lend Lease.
Mark Channon, an ODA project sponsor, accepted tickets from Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd to see England vs Ireland at rugby in Twickenham on 18 March 2006. McAlpine won the £500m contract to build the main Olympic stadium in July 2007.
Mr Higgins, the former chief executive of regeneration quango English Partnerships, who earns £372,600 a year before bonuses, accepted a total of 102 offers of hospitality, the highest of the organisation.
They included cricket matches, seats at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden and champagne receptions.
Sue Kershaw, the head of programme management, accepted 76 offers, including tickets to the last night of the Proms on 9 September 2006 and a charity ball on 21 November 2006, both paid for by construction company Costain. Costain also paid for a champagne reception attended by Mr Higgins on 1 September 2006. In 2007 it was bidding for a contract to build roads and bridges around the Olympic Park, but lost to Skanska in January this year.
Alison Nimmo, director of design and regeneration, accepted 39 offers, but there is no evidence that they were provided before any contracts were signed.
Companies are invited to use an online agency to compete for contracts, but the documents reveal how much lobbying takes place over dinner or in the best seats in the house.
Firms outside London – who cannot as easily offer dinners in the capital – complain that companies based in the South-east account for 70 per cent of contracts won.
ODA officials and employees have also claimed expenses worth £109,307 over two years.
The Conservative spokesman for Culture, Jeremy Hunt, said: "As the budget for 2012 has already trebled, and with ongoing concerns about the progress of projects, I'm sure most people would rather the ODA officials spent their time ensuring London 2012 comes in on time and on budget rather than being wined and dined."
The ODA defended the acceptance of the hospitality, saying it was essential to meet representatives of companies who were interested in contributing to the 2012 Olympics.
Asked how many contracts were awarded to companies who had been given hospitality by ODA staff, a spokeswoman said: "None." She added: "Due to the nature and scale of this project, it is vital to foster good working relationships with contractors, sometimes through occasional hospitality.
"However, it is ODA policy that staff should be careful to consider the appropriateness of accepting any corporate hospitality and that they do not accept any form of hospitality from a prospective contractor or supplier in any active tendersituation."
She said that, in the period between April and June this year, two out of three offers of hospitality were declined.
"We actively help businesses, particularly small and medium sized companies, identify and compete for opportunities to work for London 2012.
"Over 650 contractors have won work supplying the ODA worth over £2bn in total, and of those, 46 per cent are based outside of London and 70 per cent are small- and medium-sized."
Spokesmen for Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd and Costain Ltd were unavailable for comment.
A spokesman for Lend Lease said: "No hospitality was offered to the Olympic Delivery Authority from Lend Lease until we were selected as preferred developer. Proportionate hospitality can be important in building relationships in what is a huge project to be completed against a tight deadline.
"Lend Lease and the ODA have agreed a Development Management Agreement to ensure the Athletes Village is delivered for the London 2012 Games.
"This development management agreement is separate to the discussions on the long-term financing of the project which the ODA and Lend Lease remain committed to and expect to finalise at the end of the year."
Mr Johnson said yesterday that 2012 would not match the scale of Beijing and would be more "intimate". Asked how the Games would come in under budget, he told Radio 4's Today programme: "By showing some flair for economy... we are going to have a more intimate games, don't forget.
"We are looking at what we can do with the various sites and venues to make sure that we don't have a significant waste of taxpayers' money.
"I am absolutely determined to make sure that we come in under the £9.3bn. I have no reason to think that we will have any difficulty in doing that."
The Mayor said contingency funds of around £2bn would be used and he would find ways of "moving things around".
However there are concerns that accommodation for athletes in the Olympic Village will be cramped. There will be 3,000 apartments, with five competitors in each.
The security budget could be much higher than the £838m already earmarked, as experts have predicted that the two-week event will be a major terrorist target. There is no breakdown of what security is needed, and insiders predict it would exceed £1bn.
Leading supporters of 2012, including the former 400m silver medallist Roger Black, and Mr Johnson, have said that the experience of London will be more open than Beijing. But because of security concerns it is likely that three royal parks holding events, including Regent's Park, Hyde Park and Greenwich Park, will be closed to those without tickets for the summer of 2012.
Gordon Brown, in Beijing for the handover of the Olympic flag to London today, threw his weight behind the campaign to bring in private sector sponsors.
The Government is aiming to raise at least £80m in sponsorship on top of the £520m promised in Lottery funding and direct support from the taxpayer as part of a six-year package announced in 2006.
The Secretary of State for Culture, Andy Burnham, conceded that funding levels for elite athletes had still not been finalised, fuelling fears that a £100m shortfall in sponsorship may not be met.
And it emerged yesterday that four of the top Olympic sponsors are set to axe their financial support after the Beijing Games close today. The Olympic "worldwide partners" include Kodak, the Chinese computer group Lenovo and Canadian financial services company Manulife.
The Government is contributing £6bn to the cost of the Games, London council taxpayers £1bn, and more than £2bn has come from Lottery funding.

"We expect this to provide bank members and their clients the facility to execute real-time payments in and transfers of, renminbi to domestic and international counterparties," Guinigundo said.
Guinigundo said the facility would encourage more transactions in renminbi, a currency that is gaining significance and generating interest in the global market given China's role as the world's second biggest -- and fastest-growing -- economy.
In 2006, the Monetary Board included the renminbi in the list of convertible currencies, encouraging banks to exchange clients' holdings of the Chinese currency directly to Philippine pesos and consequently facilitate financial transactions of Chinese businessmen and tourists.
In 2008, the Board allowed direct conversion of the renminbi in recognition of the currency's increasing role in trade transactions within the region.
China is the Philippines' third largest foreign trading partner, accounting for about 14 percent of total trade as of July this year.
China was also the Philippines' biggest source of imports at end-July this year, with a 13 percent share or $4.6 billion of the total import bill. This is 23.5 percent higher than the $3.7 billion recorded in the same period in 2012.
Exports to China comprised about 10.5 percent of Philippine goods shipments, rising 26 percent from $381 million in August last year to $480 million this year.
Foreign direct investments (FDI) from China have also been rising in the last few years amounting to $2 million in the first seven months of this year, a reversal of the net outflow of $0.08 million recorded last year.
"Considering the magnitude and importance of the country's transactions with China, it is only appropriate that we have a safe and efficient payment and transfer service for renminbi," Guinigundo said.
There are 11 banks offering renminbi-denominated products and services such as deposits, remittances, and trade settlement.
Renminbi-denominated deposit liabilities stood at P3.9 billion or RMB589 million as of December 2012.
From 2009 to 2012, renminbi deposits rose from 0.05 percent to 0.22 percent of the Philippine banking industry's deposit liabilities, and comprised around 0.22 percent to 1.04 percent of the total foreign exchange deposit liabilities, respectively.
The ability of renminbi account holders to denominate, settle and clear transaction with parties conducting businesses in renminbi minimizes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations of a third currency.
Since the service will use an electronic real-time payment system, this will also be cost efficient since it will reduce the friction cost for renminbi trade payments to/from clients who settle them in US dollars; and transfer charges of transactions that also pass through more intermediaries and manual processes.

Have you ever wanted to wear an Arduino on your wrist and tell the time with a giant LED matrix? Then you'll love this three hour class at NYC Resistor that I'll be teaching on February 9th. During the class you can learn how to solder through-hole components as we put together the Adafruit Timesquare DIY watch kit, and afterwards we will extend the watch firmware to add a new feature to the watch.
This class is a great introduction to soldering and some advanced embedded programming techniques. The coin-cell powered Timesquare watch isn't exactly a normal Arduino and is very CPU limited, so techniques for limiting power consumption, waking up from deep sleep with interrupt handlers, low voltage brownout detection and some inline AVR assembly will be discussed. If you just want to learn to solder and have a very stylish wristwatch, you don't have to stay for the walkthrough of the firmware.
Included in the class price for every student is a pre-programmed Adafruit Timesquare watch kit and an FTDI cable for re-programming it (a $49 value). You'll need to bring your own laptop with the Arduino IDE installed to flash new firmware onto the device if you are staying for the advanced portion of the class.
Tickets are available through Eventbrite. Hopefully some folks will experiment with 3D printing custom watch bodies!

Something Fishy
I'm going to enjoy watching your hemlock blanket unfold. (I am wondering...just a thought here...perhaps some knitting machine lessons for you in January, as a New Years' goal, to give you a fighting chance at getting Grace's machine-knit blanket done by next December?....just sayin'...) After your "airbags and pointy sticks" comment, I think about you now whenever I'm a passenger knitting... My sister was in an accident a couple of weeks ago in which her vehicle rolled over twice -- one never knows when something crazy like that is going to happen. (Thankfully, she only had some minor injuries...but after hearing about all of the stuff that went flying around the inside of her passenger compartment, I think we might alter the way we pack for trips by securing things better...)
We celebrated Christmas twice, and will celebrate one more time yet. It's all good fun, though I've barely had a break since I was done with school. Our Christmas letters will have more of an Epiphany theme (or perhaps, Presidents' Day) this year, and I'm hopeful I can get those sent out by the end of this week.
All three hoodies were done on time, and the recipients loved them. It was rather grueling to fit them in right before Christmas (along with my other Christmas preparations), but totally worth it when my eight year old told me how warm and comfy it was, and that he really liked it. I'm going to try to make one for me this week...and I might have enough fabric left over for a fleece bathrobe for myself, too. I've made a fleece robe for each of my guys over the years; now it's my turn :-)
And, I finished the fish hat... the night before I gifted it:It cracks me up...So, are any of you setting any New Years' goals? Have a safe and fun holiday!
Warm regards,
Laura (YarnThrower)

Oh that is TOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!! I love it! I saw that pattern when it came out and immediately queued it as something I want to knit.... That looks great! And what a stash buster... hmm..
Oh and congrats on getting your xmas presents done! I hope you got to bed before Santa came... Merry Christmas! - 4:03 PM

The fish hat is AWESOME!!! I MUST make one of those for my hubby!! He asked for a jester hat, but I think it was only because he did not know of the existence of THIS!! w00t!
Glad to hear you had a merry Christmas and that I'm not the only one sending Epiphany cards this year... ;) - 7:30 PM
- natalie said...
I've only just stumbled upon your blog. I can't wait to have a quiet few hours (hahahahaha) to read some of your previous posts. I'm a relatively new knitter and I love seeing all the projects you two are turning out. What an inspiration!
Thanks so much!

That hat is hilarious.

OMG, how did I miss that pattern? Love it (1000)

I looked for the pattern on Knitty and couldn't find it. Do you have a link? It looks very cool.
- The Rebellious Pastor's Wife said...
never mind. found it.
- allisonmariecat said...
Hee! That fish hat made my day. How adorable!
I'm not a big New Year's resolution person. I've made some resolutions at different times, when it feels right, and I stick to those better than the NY ones! I do like to reflect on how I'd like to do things differently than I did the year before, though.
A fleece bathrobe sounds like a great present for YOU after all that giving! - 7:40 AM
- Nik said...
I've decided to only make resolutions that I can stick with. such as promising to keep my house messy.
I can live with that :D - 10:46 AM

I know I am a bit late commenting. seeing that this was posted in dec.
but i had to say this is really cute!! could you would you please tll me where you got the pattern??
I have a grandson and think he would like it when he gets older
thanks - 11:10 AM

Wisconsin wolf hunting: 2 zones to close Friday
- 15 November, 2012 //
- Outdoors Now //
- Tags : hunting, Wisconsin, wolves
Two of Wisconsin's six wolf zones are close enough to their quotas that the Department of Natural Resources is ending the hunt.
Wolf hunting and trapping will close at the end of day Friday in zones 2 and 4. Click here for a map of the zones.
Here's the Wisconsin wolf hunting and trapping bulletin from the DNR:
MADISON – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has closed Wolf Harvest Zones 2 and 4 to hunting and trapping of gray wolves effective Nov. 16, 2012.
The two zones close Friday at the end of hunting hours for hunting and at the close of trapping hours for trappers, which is 8 p.m.
Wolf Harvest Zones 2 and 4 are the first zones to be closed this season. The harvest of wolves currently remains open in all other zones. The department will continue to closely monitor the harvest in the remaining zones and does expect an increase in the rate of harvest during this weekend's gun deer season. Wolf hunters and trappers should check for additional zone closures throughout the weekend.
"The harvest trend in Zone 2 has been steady while harvest in Zone 4, which is one wolf from quota, has been sporadic. We've watched trends and feel our best decision to make sure we don't exceed quotas is to start the closure process today just prior to reaching quota, anticipating increased harvest rates with the opening of the nine-day deer hunt this weekend," said Kurt Thiede, DNR Lands Division Administrator. "This is Wisconsin's inaugural season. We are learning much about hunter and trapper success rates that will help us draft permanent rules that continue to move the wolf population down toward levels in line with biological and social carrying capacity ."
"We will be considering harvest trends as we approach quotas in other zones as well. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the wolf population by 116 animals, distributed across the landscape," said Thiede.
The state wolf harvest quota for Zone 2 was set at 20 wolves and the closure process was initiated when 18 wolves were reported as harvested. The state wolf harvest quota for Zone 4 was set at 5 wolves and the closure process was initiated when 4 wolves were reported as harvested. Wolf hunters and trappers are advised that they can continue to pursue wolves in zones 1, 3, 5 and 6, but are urged to watch zones 1 and 5.
When additional zones are closed, the Wisconsin DNR will announce such closures by news releases, notification at dnr.wi.gov, and on the wolf call-in number, 1-855-299-9653. It is the hunter's and trapper's responsibility to check for and know about zone closures. DNR encourages hunters and trappers to check the website or the call-in number daily.

I saw the idea for making these cards at how about orange, and I had to it out b/c it enabled me to use a lot of the small scraps in my scrapbooking supplies. I can't stand throwing away paper....so....earth friendly, and fun.
The one thing I didn't have was aqua/baby blue twine, but I've seen this tutorial other places, and so instead of purchasing some....I made my own using a sharpie, twine, and a pencil.
I taped it at both ends, and just wrapped it around the pencil. Colored blue lines, unwrapped it and wrapped it the other direction so I could get the backside.
Ta da....diy baker's twine in any color.
I printed out Happy Birthday on card stock.
I zig zagged my twine, and tapped it to the backside.
Cut out penants from my scrap papers. Then I glued them down/around the twine.
I glued the cardstock onto blank cards I bought, and rounded out the corners.

I obviously can't say anything concrete as it was a demo at an event, but honestly I think it was at least as good as the HD598's audio.
Actually, in a response on Reddit, Palmer Luckey himself said that it was on par with level of quality you would get on something like an AD700. Considering they have full control over the whole audio stack from DAC to driver, it's entirely possible they also have a very even frequency response. I heard honestly surprising amounts of bass from what I remember. The imaging and soundstage was insanely accurate, but that's hard to compare because you also get headtracking, meaning you get more sound localization cues.
Other than sound quality, what separates an integrated audio solution on a VR HMD from just wearing normal headphones on top, is that you get the ultimate comfort. There is minimal to zero clamp on your ears because the force is distributed by the semi-rigid strap system. Imagine if you were never wearing headphones at all and sound magically just came into existence next to your ears. That's how comfortable it is. That also means your brain is much more easily convinced that the sound isn't coming from an artificial source like headphones.

Festivals in Ancient Kerala
Parassinikkadavu Festival
Parassini Madappura is perhaps the only shrine in Kerala to celebrate a festival round the year. The 'Utsavam', the festival begins in December. 'Theyyam', the ritual offering here is performed every morning and evening by the priest who is called 'Madayan'. Located on the banks of the river Valapattanam (Belipattanam) at Parassinikkadavu, 16 kms from Kannur town, the shrine is dedicated to Sree Muthappan, the hunter or 'Kiratha' incarnation of Lord Siva. The offerings and rituals are unique here. Toddy, an alcoholic drink extracted from coconut palms is the main offering to the deity.

Stylish Blogger Award
I love blog awards, because they are fun to receive, but even FUNNER to give! So here's the delio, the "rules" of receiving the award:
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
If you haven't seen Vanessa's blog, you should really check it out. She's got great style and has a ton of fun projects to share! Thanks again, Vanessa!
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
Uhm, okay here goes:
1. I bought my wedding dress exactly 1 week before I got engaged. It's the Type A in me, I knew it was going to happen and I just HAD to do something to prepare for the wedding. =)
2. I have 2 gorgeous sisters and 1 incredibly handsome brother, and they are by far my best friends in the whole wide world!
3. I occasionally enjoy smoking a pipe. I know, it's shocking. By occasionally, I mean like once a year. It can give you mouth cancer, after all.
4. Before my hubby and I started dating, I had a crush on him and called him my "work boyfriend." I didn't know this at the time, but he also had noticed me and thought I was cute and Russian (seriously, he thought my name looked Russian and the first time we met he asked me if I was an immigrant! Haha!).
5. I'm not Russian, in fact I am 1/4 Scottish and 1/2 British (and 1/4 mutt, if you must know).
6. The budget for my wedding was $5,000, which included everything from my dress to the dinner for 200 guests. Can you tell I love being thrifty?
7. And because it's just not complete without an embarrassing story... At my high school open house, I tripped on a tent peg and fell flat on my face in front of 200 people. My dad said to me later, "Less people would have noticed if you hadn't screamed so loud." Thanks Daddy.
SOOO, moving on:
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers.
Yay, this is the part I LOVE! Some of you I have been following for a while, and some are newer, but here they are in no particular order:
1. All Things Jane
2. The Beautiful Details
3. Close to Home
4. Hennessey House
5. Home Says Hello
6. Peas and Crayons
7. Take the Side Street
8. The Cape on the Corner
9. The Joyeful Journey
10. This Thrifty House
11. Keeping Up With Kristi
12. The Flipping Couple
13. Minnesota Mom
14. Polish the Stars
15. The Victorians Didn't Even Like Pink
Whew! That's a lot of work! The last one is:
4. Contact all of these bloggers to let them know they have been nominated.
I'm off to do that right this very second!
12 comments:
Thank dollface! So fun to learn a few new facts along with the old fav facts about ya =) I still giggle about the work boyfriend story but OMG -- a pipe! You're such an old soul ;) hehe in good way! I didn't realize you had two sisters and a brother! I have two brothers and a sister =)
thanks so much for the award love!!!!
Jenn @ Peas & Crayonsyour wedding dress looks so perfect, you would think you spent days scouring for the one that was most "you." thank you so much for this award-i appreciate it so much! i have to compile a nice post...all i need is a day in the office to do so! that's when i do most of my blogging...but don't tell my boss! hehe.
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet! And I love that wedding dress, by the way. It looks very vintage.
I was actualyl jsut given a stylish blogger award a couple of weeks ago, so instead of doing the full bit again, I think I'll just post the award soon and direct people to your blog from there. Does that work ok?

The Khan Academy, a non-profit organization created by Salman Khan in 2006, is like all things that are new perhaps redefining education; It is also fine-tuning many aspects of the traditional models for education in America. Its website has over 3000 videos that cover relevant subjects like biology, chemistry, K-12 math and more. Some noteworthy metrics to consider the Khan Academy in social media, particularly its YouTube Channel currently has registered 295,000 subscribers and earned close to 130 million video views. So is there a buzz or educational value about this online venture? Is the content from Khan Academy merit to be part of the curriculum?

On Wednesday, I visited a fifth-grade class in McMinnville, Oregon to talk with the kids about money. I had a great time, and I'll share more about the experience on Monday. Today, though, I want to start by sharing a question I received from one of the students.
"How much money do you have?" Hannah asked when I called on her.
"I'm not going to answer that?" I said.
"Nobody answers that," said a boy named Max.
"Why do you think that is?" I asked.
I was curious about the fifth-grade perspective on this subject, so we talked about it for a little while. Some of the kids thought adults just don't like to share things about themselves. Others said that if you talked about how much money you had, then other people would be more likely to steal it. I offered my own thoughts.
"I think people don't talk about how much money they have because nobody wants to feel bad," I said. "For example, if I have a lot of money and you don't, then talking about money might make you feel bad. Or if you have a lot of money and I'm poor, then talking about money would probably make me feel bad."
I believe that, ultimately, people don't talk about money with strangers out of fear of being judged.
I explained that most people do talk about money, but only with people they know well, such as family and friends. (Not everyone talks about money, I know, but I believe most people are willing to share with those they're close to.)
The kids didn't seem to find my argument terribly convincing. In fact, after school was over, Hannah came up pose the same question again. "How much money do you have really?" she asked.
"I'm not going to answer that," I said.
"Are you a millionaire?" she asked.
"I'm not going to answer that either," I said.
She gave an exasperated sigh and left to catch the bus.
Yesterday, I told this story to my Spanish teacher, who is from Peru. She and I have discussed cultural attitudes toward money before. She thinks Americans talk about finances far too freely. And apparently she's not the only one. In one of my favorite Spanish-language podcasts, the hosts have talked about the notion of social class in Spain. Apparently, folks there even avoid talking about what they do for work because that has the potential to make others feel uncomfortable.
On the long drive home from McMinnville, I spent a lot of time thinking about Hannah's question. Is discomfort the actual reason we don't talk about money in our society? Do we keep these facts private out of fear of judgment? I'm not sure. I don't have any hard facts to back up my beliefs. Maybe there are other reasons.
What do you think? Why don't people talk about money? Is it just to avoid discomfort? Or are there more practical reasons to avoid these sorts of discussions? And, more to the point, in your own life, with whom do you have money discussions? What sorts of things do you talk about? What sorts of implicit (or explicit) boundaries do you set?

Jewish World Review Nov. 1, 2007 / 20 Mar-Cheshvan 5768 Carrots and sticks By Cal Thomas
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | If there were stock in carrots and sticks, I would direct my broker to immediately buy some because virtually all of the Democratic presidential candidates in Philadelphia Tuesday night said these are their weapons of choice in confronting Iran's nuclear threat. Some would use "vigorous diplomacy" (that should strike fear into the heart of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad). Sen. Barack Obama said he would "convene a meeting of Muslim leaders." Which ones? And what carrots could he offer them that would prevent them from using a stick on us? The sellout of Israel, perhaps? The withdrawal of all American troops and presence from all Muslim lands, as many say they want? Allowing more mosques and Islamic schools that teach hatred of America, Jews and Christians into the United States?
