Waiting – it is something we do every day. Sometimes for big things, sometimes for small things.
Some people are excited when they wait – they are waiting for the birth of a child, notice that they have been successful with the job application. This type of waiting we love.
Some people are sad when they wait – they are waiting for the time to say goodbye to a loved one, be it human or animal. – This type of waiting we all wish we didn't have to endure
Some people are anxious when they wait – they are waiting to see how they went in the school exams, they are waiting for test results from a medical test. – This type of waiting we all endure and we rejoice when the news is good and cry when the news is bad.
Some people wait for the pain to go – sometimes this pain is physical sometimes this pain is mental. Physical pain will almost always go away either with time or medication. Mental pain is something that has to be dealt with on a personal level and some people never recover.
Today I am waiting – I am waiting for the pain to be alleviated with medication. I am lucky – my pain can be eased, sometimes even removed, albeit temporarily.
You know somebody in every category from the above. If someone is suffering and it doesn't matter which type of pain. Say "Are you okay?". It's three words, they don't cost anything and many people in their rush to get to work, or home or to that very important dinner date, forget the value of the spoken word. It doesn't cost a cent and yet means so much more.

"because I don't know anybody who would tell"
I stand corrected as to nobody ever telling a partner they have herpes when it isn't genital
I considered my comments relevant

I don't know where you live or the kind of people you know, but I know a few people with HSV1 and they are very aware and safe about it.
And like I said, I am negative.
Personally I think it is down to a breakdown of some sorts or a personality disorder but for some reason the administration appear to want to indulge your paranoia and thread hijacking further.
I wouldn't be so sure
Somebody with admin privileges doesn't think very highly of me at all
Well, hijacked thread or not ...thank you all for your input. Well, except for one particular comment near the beginning. Why would someone post something so unnecessary when one is looking for assistance? Absolutely nothing helpful there. Thanks, but no thanks. Don't care to date you either.
Both my wife and I tested positive for HSV, through blood testing. However, I didn't get a sore cultured...every time something came up, it was past that point of testing before I could get to the doctor (due to work, schedules, etc.). Makes me wonder if I should try again...but how? Stop my daily meds and wait for something to come back? Ummm...yikes.
I do think that it's simply a matter of education in a lot of cases, but being my first 'adventure' with disclosure, I'm not sure how/when to attempt steering someone toward such education without it seeming cold, clinical, and completely goal-oriented (and even though it's important to me, sex is not my 'end goal' here...I've thoroughly enjoyed the time I've spent with her so far). And even though S. has been with a good bit of people over the years, I got the sense that this is the first time she's had someone of interest admitting this news to her...not completely sure. And if that's true - it may be the case that she's been with people that had it and never told her. She agrees that she could very well have it, too, and simply doesn't know...she gets tested, but as I learned, you have to actually request HSV to be included in the STD testing. Maybe I can bring that up to her somehow. Not that I'm wishing that on anyone at all - I hope she's clean - but if she found out that she does have it, seems like there's no way her stance on the matter couldn't change.
And not to get to far off on a tangent - but I took her out for dinner last night. Felt so shitty yesterday morning - as you all read about - but after a while, just decided to suck it up and let her know - indirectly - that I wasn't going to let that crap bother me...that I'm stronger than that. As my therapist said (this guy is amazing with his dedication and email responses):
"Even though she said what she said, she was showing you something completely different. You had some real genuine momentum going, even after your disclosure. If you keep on following the path (undeterred), and let the connection continue to build, I think she'd eventually change her mind about things and be more open to you guys sleeping together." And like I said - I don't know that she's read up on it much. Maybe he's right.
So I contacted her online, thanked her for a great time the previous evening, and ended up chatting online quite a bit yesterday. Very fun, very flirty stuff. Great time at dinner...more physical affection afterward while sitting on her porch. If I were to take the herpes conversation out of my mind, it was as if nothing had changed at all. Maybe she got a little freaked and then it relaxed a bit in her head? Not sure. You girls are tough to figure out. But I have no doubt that she likes spending time with me, so there's that.
Going forward...any thoughts on how/when to disclose? Any first hand experiences, bad or good? This first time was actually easy (even though I was discouraged when S. flipped on her stance ) since she was the one that brought up the subject. I can imagine that it's not always the case, and potentially awkward at times.
I got a case of genital warts when I was 17. I was devastated at first. Slowly, over the years I've come to see it as a good thing, because it gives me a simple way to say two things at once to new partners -- 1) I'm a trustworthy person to cares about you and respects you, and 2) if there's anything YOU should be telling ME, now is the time!!
I have had a couple of people inform me of their HSV-1 positive status, for the record.
I don't know if I would ever date someone with HSV-2. I've actually thought about it some lately because I know a really cool seeming guy who has it. It's moot, because I don't have the time to pursue it anyway but... would I? Unsure! Educating myself has definitely increased the odds, I'd say.
If I ever did find myself with the time to go after him I might well do what your friend is doing now... get closer to him as a person, so I could decide if I felt like there was really a strong enough connection there to make it worth the risk. I would certainly take my time with it and not decide right away... if he asked right away I would almost certainly say no because as a woman you learn early on that "no" is the safe option... a "maybe" means you're gonna get pushed. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't be thinking about it and might not surprise him with a "yes" down the line if he refrained from getting pushy (can't stand pushy people...). But maybe I wouldn't... aside from the risk of infection and of possibly infecting my other partners, there's the fear that my other partners would no longer feel safe being with me the second I got with him... poly sure does make this issue more complicated, unfortunately.
If I DID decide to go for it, I would probably ask him to wear a condom and silk boxers... basically ZERO skin to skin genital contact that way... not fool proof, but actually seems pretty dang safe! If he wore crotchless tights under the boxers it'd be even safer (not to mention hot ).
Good luck!!

God forbid someone protect their sexual health. I gave an honest answer. I am sorry I didn't pat you on the back and tell you what you wanted to hear.
I am sorry you have to face this, no one should. Unfortunately this is your new reality and in my opinion you need to be upfront and honest with any potential partner from day one, and allow them to make their own informed decision. Please do not be one of those people who berate others who do not want to take the risk. Let your partner choose for themselves if they want to move forward.
Unfortunately hsv 2 can be like playing Russian Roulette. Luckily it isn't fatal.

Also, there is no evidence that the OP wants to go down the road of not disclosing their status.
No one can afford to be smug, I know people who are chaste and monogamous who have caught STIs and then super tarty been around the block a few times (no judgement, I am talking about myself btw) who have never had a thing. A little sympathy and less judgement would be nice.

Came across 2 such examples recently and thought i'd share them.
When I read Ratan Tata's comments in the above story, I was pleased. The article has two moot points – Mr Tata's criticism of the exaggerated and vulgar opulence that's evident in Mukesh Ambani's 27-storey Antilla abode and the poor work ethic displayed by the management of his UK-based company – Jaguar Land Rover. Both comments should be read in the context of the larger issues he is talking about – developing a social conscience amongst India's rich and the abysmal work ethics of UK-based managers who are not willing to go an extra mile when the occasion so demands as opposed to their Indian counterparts.
Now, you may agree with Mr Tata's views or formulate your own counterview. Indeed, I harbour my own reservations about the work ethic part since what's seen by him as a valuable precedent can also be read as the Indian disregard for work-life balance and scant respect for an employee's private time. But that's not the real issue here.
I find Mr Tata's remarks commendable because in the current climate of political correctness where every truism, every sentence, has to be endlessly pondered and edited before it is fit to be echoed in public, it takes courage to voice such thoughts. If Mukesh Ambani has a right to build his house according to his tastes, so does Mr Tata to criticise such tastes!
In the second instance, a nice forum has grown around Umberto Eco's comments in the Guardian. I am mostly ok with whatever he wrote, save for the last paragraph where he seems to be justifying his not reading those books. What surprised me was that most of the commentators didn't seem to get the slight insult, or rather the pomposity inherent in his those words. Until I came upon this comment (copied below.)
"Dear Mr. Eco,
I am a reader and not a writer.
I hope you can understand that we are different.
When you ask "Who has actually read Finnegans Wake – I mean from beginning to end? Who has read the Bible properly, from Genesis to the Apocalypse?", I understand that you are asking rhetorically, and with some incredulity, if not also with some defensiveness, as i can only assume that you have not, or else your question would be more dismissive of readers than it appears.
I have read both of those books, several times.
I have taken great enjoyment from them, as they are central to the Western tradition of narrative.
But, i am not a writer, and if you, as a writer, have not read them, as you may be suggesting from your provocative question, then i am concerned for you.
Several of your books make reference to the Bible, and make use of some of the devices that are central to what is groundbreaking in the Wake.
If what lurks behind your question is the admission that you did not understand the very material that you were using in your own writing, then i feel an obligation to let you know that i will not be reading any more of your books.
I am not a writer.
But, as a reader, what i expect from a writer is that they are in command of their work, and that they are aware of what they are doing. I do not expect that they have read everything. Nor do i expect that they are able to talk about what they do not know, but i would hope that a dismissal of a work because you could not finish it at that point in your life is not used as a dismissal of the work.
This is not an unreasonable pact between readers and writers. Readers need to trust that writers are writing something that is structurally sound, and that will be worth our time and effort.
Also, as a reader, there are books that i have read, and books that i have not read, but to make a value judgement on the work that i have not read, and am ignorant of, or to make a value judgement on the nature of reading in a world of such wondrous variety is insulting.
A dismissal of books that one has not read is selfish, solipsistic, and cynical toward any audience.
Please think of the readers when you are cashing your cheques from the employment that you have gained on the back of your success in the field of writing and publishing your work. From this day forward, it will be slighly lighter due to those you have turned away with your posturing.
No longer yours,
Ah David! How I love thee? Let me count the ways ...

Creating new markets and replacing higher cost foreign oil in refineries
MONTREAL — The Honourable Joe Oliver, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, today delivered remarks to the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, where he highlighted the federal government's priority of supporting jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity across Canada. In 2011, natural resource sectors represented 11 percent of Quebec's gross domestic product, providing jobs for nearly 175,000 people.
"The Harper government is fully committed to supporting jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity in Quebec," said Minister Oliver. "Our plans support the almost 200,000 directly employed in Quebec's natural resource sectors and will result in opportunities for thousands more."
Minister Oliver said Responsible Resource Development supports jobs and critical social programs including health and education. The plan also focuses on protecting the environment by increasing the number of inspections by the National Energy Board for oil and gas pipelines by 50 percent annually.
"This government is demonstrating leadership that is resulting in new economic opportunities for Quebecers and all Canadians," said Minister Oliver. "Our commitment to creating new markets is allowing Canadian companies to compete in some of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Keeping taxes low is contributing to an estimated 600 projects over the next 10 years that will increase jobs and economic benefits in Quebec."
This approach to supporting jobs while protecting the environment includes support for independently reviewed proposals that would replace higher-priced foreign oil from countries such as Algeria, Angola and the United Kingdom, with lower-priced Canadian oil.
"We support proposals to replace higher-cost foreign crude that is currently being transported to consumers and refineries in Quebec and Atlantic Canada," said Minister Oliver. "These proposals are subject to independent, science-based review and they would create new jobs and economic growth."
Minister Oliver said these measures send a clear signal to the world that Canada is open for business and further strengthen Canada's position as a reliable global partner of choice for natural resource trade and investment. Independent regulators would conduct a comprehensive objective scientific evaluation to determine whether any specific project passes regulatory muster and is safe for Canadians and safe for the environment.

It would be great to have an unlimited budget for a kitchen renovation. But the fact is most of us do not. And that's OK. Compromises of one form or another are part of the process, even for the rare homeowner who enjoys a bottomless budget and expansive square footage.
But how, exactly, do you decide between two compelling options with different pros and cons? The most critical tool to have on hand to help you make tough choices is a clear picture of your remodel goals. To get clarity on what matters most to you, read about some key trade-offs you'll want to consider.
How Will You Use Your Kitchen?
When planning a kitchen remodel, you want to be very clear on how you want to use your new kitchen. Here is one example: I want to have people over more often. I want to feel relaxed when I entertain. In order to feel relaxed, I need to make sure that no one is in my way while I cook. I also want my kitchen to stay neat during the cooking process and be laid out so that cleaning up will be efficient.
Clear goals can help homeowners make decisions and, as the budget nears its limit, ultimately choose the options that will best support their goals. What matters most to you in a kitchen?
1. Daily Use vs. Special Events
This area of consideration has to do with how many people your kitchen will serve. From refrigerator storage to seats at the dining table, the number of people you want to accommodate will affect your design choices. You'll want to consider not only how many people live in the home now, but — if this is your forever home — how many will live in it 10 years from now. Also, how often do you entertain and for how many people?
I had a client who was retired and cooked only for herself and her husband most days. She entertained just four times a year, on holidays. At first, I was a bit baffled by her choice of a 36-inch range, double ovens and a 48-inch-wide refrigerator. But for her, these choices made sense.
As the matriarch of a large family, on those four holidays she cooked for 25 to 30 people and had at least two or three people helping her in the kitchen. It was important to her that we designed a flexible space that worked just as well when cooking for two as for 30.
That approach is a good one: Whenever possible, I recommend that clients design with their maximum capacity needs in mind.
2. Cost vs. Value
As you may have discovered if you're considering a remodel (or in the midst of one), everything from cabinets to sinks to appliances comes at a variety of price points. How do you decide when it's worth it to splurge for a high-quality item and when it's best to save your dollars? Here are some questions to ask yourself:
Will the investment improve your everyday life?
Will the product solve a pet peeve?
Will the addition of this element make your house feel like a home?
Will the purchase increase the value of your home?
In each of these cases, you may decide that the cost of a feature for your new kitchen is worth it because of the value it brings. For example, a better dishwasher might eliminate the need to prerinse dishes.
Perhaps you hate scrubbing dishes, can afford an upgrade and would cherish any minute of spare time away from the sink. Or perhaps you feel quite the opposite: You don't mind scrubbing dishes at all, and this investment wouldn't be worth the pennies spent.
Framing your choices as cost vs. value — in terms of your experience in your kitchen, and possibly the resale value of your home — can help you get clarity on what's worth the extra money.
One helpful way to prioritize your desires is to analyze the frequency and duration of a given task. Tasks you do frequently or spend more time on should get more weight as you consider what is worth investing in.
For example, most people use the burners to cook 80 percent of the time, the oven 20 percent of the time. If this applies to you, I recommend prioritizing the cooktop as opposed to the wall oven, both in terms of placement in your kitchen and quality of product. You wouldn't want to give up a great burner feature to get a fancier oven.
On the other hand, if you are a frequent baker but rarely use the stovetop, you may prefer to invest in wall ovens rather than spend your budget on a fancy range. For you, it would be better to make sure that reaching into the oven is more ergonomic — done while standing upright, rather than bending over.
3. Function vs. Aesthetics
Ideally a kitchen redesign brings both beauty and function, but when we are dealing with limited funds, trade-offs between functionality and aesthetics may be necessary. By function, I mean not only the kinds of bells and whistles you get with high-end appliances, but also the kitchen's layout and the choice of whether to have one sink or two.
Aesthetics, of course, are the expensive but gorgeous finishes and customized detailing that bring a high-end look to a kitchen. Quite often, a budget may force you to make choices on what matters most to you — the functionality or the look.
This area of trade-off is deeply personal and has a lot to do with your lifestyle. When weighing aesthetics vs. function, you'll want to consider everything I mentioned before: how many people you cook for daily, how often you entertain, the kind of entertaining you do (backyard barbecues vs. sit-down dinners), the style of cooking you prefer and how many people work in the kitchen at one time.
For example, a client who doesn't do a lot of cooking and is more concerned with the kitchen's look than its function might really want a beautiful built-in fridge with custom panels but be willing to use a less expensive range or counter material to have that pricey, beautiful fridge.
On the other hand, I have had several clients (including the owners of the kitchen in this photo) who chose a free-standing fridge and put their budget into the plumbing and construction work required to add a second sink. To me, this is a significant functional improvement and, for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining, worth scaling back on some of the aesthetic details.
There are many ways you can cut back on aesthetics to create room in your budget for what's important to you functionally. You might consider a simpler, less expensive door style on the cabinets, or a ceramic backsplash tile instead of glass, or quartz counters instead of granite.
I even had one client use a very inexpensive laminate counter so that she could put more money into the remodel work necessary to get the layout just right. Since she was in her forever home, she replaced the laminate with a beautiful stone two years later when finances allowed.

I suppose this means that I/you/we can expect even more emails alerting us to Kickstarter project campaigns.
The bright side is, especially for people like myself who write about the this stuff, the pool from which we extract the projects we write about, will be wider; so something to look forward to.
The funding platform known as Kickstarter has so far been limited to only USA-registered projects; not anymore, as Kickstarter UK is born.
Here are the details directly from Kickstarter (good luck to all our UK-based readers – I know there are a lot of you – who are also content creators; I'm looking forward, albeit with some trepidation, to receiving all your emails alerting me to your various project campaigns):
Beginning October 31, people in the United Kingdom will be able to launch their projects on Kickstarter. However, beginning today, people in the UK can get started building their projects by clicking on the "Start a new project" button on the Start page and selecting the UK as their country. When we're ready for projects to launch on October 31, we'll send an email letting them know that they can hit the launch button whenever they're ready.
Let's run through the basics on how things will work.
So UK creators can start building their Kickstarter projects as early as today, and launch them beginning October 31?
Yes. We thought the three-week gap would give everyone plenty of time to build and tweak their projects before launching. Beginning October 31, they can launch and share their projects with the world.
Will there be a UK-specific Kickstarter site?
Nope. UK-based projects will be listed alongside all the other Kickstarter projects.
Can people outside the UK pledge to UK projects?
Yes! Just like every other project on Kickstarter, backers can pledge to UK-based projects from all around the world.
What currency will UK projects be listed in?
All UK projects will be listed in pounds sterling. If you are pledging from outside the UK, you will see the approximate conversion rate to US dollars before you complete your pledge.
Will backing UK projects be similar to backing US projects?
The mechanics of Kickstarter (all-or-nothing funding, rewards, etc.) are identical for US and UK projects. When pledging, however, backers of UK projects will enter their payment information directly on Kickstarter rather than through Amazon Payments. All pledges will be processed securely through a third-party payments processor.
Are the fees for UK and US projects the same?
Like the US, Kickstarter will charge a 5% fee to successfully funded projects and no fee to unsuccessfully funded projects in the UK.
Payment processing fees for UK projects are similar to those for US projects. For UK projects, the processing fees are:
Pledges less than £10 are charged 5% + £0.05 Pledges of £10 or greater are charged 3% + £0.20
Any other changes to go along with this announcement?
Today we also launched a streamlined international shipping option for both US and UK projects.
Creators have been asking backers to add international shipping costs to their pledges for years, and it wasn't uncommon for backers to miss the instructions. Today's update makes it clearer when the creator has requested that international backers add an additional amount to their pledges.
We've also made it easier for creators to limit rewards to domestic backers only, as international shipping can be a difficult part of the process.
We felt it was important to get this change out with this international expansion. This feature is available to both UK and US projects that launch starting today.
Anything else?
We're really excited! This is the product of months of work by our team, and we want to thank them for their hard work. Thanks as well to all the UK creators who have patiently waited for this day. We can't wait to start backing your projects. Thanks so much!

About twice a year I get an email asking me about Seattle locations linked to Dr. Frasier Crane, or Kelsey Grammer's character on the NBC-TV show, FRASIER. Since I am a huge fan of the show and enjoy discussing Seattle movie locations from a real estate perspective I am finally taking this chance to put my Frasier Crane information on the record, once and for all.
None of this is true in the real world, except for the intersection of Third and Pike. The Google Map of 3rd and Pike is where Cafe Nervosa is supposed to be.
View Larger Map
I have featured this location many times in this blog since, despite being one of the most important crossroads of the city for business and shopping, 3rd and Pike is a dangerous place with rampant drug dealing, prostitution, stabbings, and even public murders in the middle of the day. I honestly can't see the fictional Niles wanting to hang out very much at the real 3rd and Pike.
And yes, there is a coffee shop there. A tiny and always crowded Starbucks on the southwest corner. There actually is a chain Italian restaurant called Cafe Nervosa but there is no location in Seattle. The now defunct Elliott Bay Bookstore in Pioneer Square is thought to be the inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on the show, but it was located nowhere near 3rd and Pike. I agree that both Frasier and Niles would have been regulars at Elliott Bay Books, as was I for many years, and I miss the place. Niles would have thrived on the intellectualism (pseudo and otherwise) that oozed from the walls. The store did move to Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood but the new location is not just the same.
In Seattle, the radio and TV stations are located about a mile from 3rd and Pike near the Space Needle. There is no KCAL, 780AM in Seattle either. The nearest call letters are KTTH, 770 AM, which is a conservative talk radio station featuring Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
Ever see the opening credits of the ABC show GREY'S ANATOMY? The "hospital" where the helicopter lands is actually the KOMO-TV studio at Fisher Plaza in Seattle, about one block from the Space Needle and a mile from the mythical Cafe Nervosa. Frasier and Roz would work within 250 yards of the Space Needle where just about every Seattle radio and TV station in the city is located.
This area, unfortunately, is a high crime area at night, especially for prostitution. There is extensive new residential and commercial development around Seattle's Space Needle, especially the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation headquarters literally across the street. But the real Frasier and Roz for the most part would work in a gritty neighborhood known for the homeless and drug dealing at night.
A question I've gotten from friends and website visitors for years is "Where is Frasier's building?" I'm sorry to say that Frasier's magnificent view is a figment of Hollywood's imagination. No apartment building in Seattle has such a view.
Seattle's famous Kerry Park, a stop for any tourist visiting the city. The views are amazing. Tourists line up with their cameras to take this shot. Can you see how similar it is to the view from Frasier's balcony?
Ever see the film 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU starring Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles? The introduction of the movie was filmed at Kerry Park. So if you watch the opening sequence to the film, this is where Frasier was supposed to live, a very nice part of Seattle called Queen Anne, known for its wine bars, cheese shops, and luxury housing all atop a VERY VERY VERY steep hill that was one of Seattle's first planned residential communities---for the wealthy.
In real life, however, Frasier Crane's apartment building with that angled view of Seattle (looking directly to the Southeast) would have been in a part of Seattle called the Denny Regrade, an area of extensive condo development since NBC put Frasier on the air for the first time in 1993. The Denny Regrade is famous in Seattle history because this entire neighborhood was created by washing mountains of soil into the bay using high pressure hoses to create flat level building lots.
The second picture is the 1907 intersection of 3rd Avenue and Virginia Street, about three blocks from Frasier's mythical Cafe Nervosa, which would have been exactly where the wooden buildings in the distance are located. The building being constructed in the background still exists and is a residential hotel. Once again, notice the size of the hills being chopped away using the railroad locomotive as scale.
Incidentally, Seattle has no Elliott Bay Tower Apartments---YET.
What I can tell fans of the show is that the screenwriters definitely were looking at Seattle maps when they were writing the scripts. The city of Bellevue, WA, for example, is EAST of Seattle, just like Frasier says.

Frasier Crane in Seattle

125% Increase in Seattle Car Tabs
Voters in Seattle are being asked to approve Proposition 1, a $60 per year increase in automobile registration rates. The proceeds, according to a unanimous vote by the Seattle City Council and Mayor Mike "McSchwinn" will be used for transportation improvements.
In a unique and rare repudiation of both the City Council and the Mayor, the Seattle Times editorial board is urging a voter rejection of Prop 1.
I agree with the Seattle Times in what must surely be a sign of the Apocalypse.
If you understand what Prop 1 is really all about, you will appreciate life in the People's Republic of Seattle and how everything public in the Emerald City has a certain Alice in Wonderland quality.
If you understand what Prop 1 is really all about, you will appreciate life in the People's Republic of Seattle and how everything public in the Emerald City has a certain Alice in Wonderland quality.
And King County, where Seattle is located, just added another $20 this past August.
If approved, this would mean the average Seattle car owner would see their vehicle registration jump from $80 per year to a whopping $180, a massive 125% increase.
Of course, you pay this $100 increase no matter what type of car you drive. The 2011 BMW 760Li and the 1975 Ford Pinto pay the same regressive rate.
Seattle claims it needs this new money, an estimated $27 million per year, to make important local transportation improvements. REALLY?
$18 million would go to study (not build, but study) the development of two streetcar lines in the city. Even supporters agree that these lines will likely never be built. The current Seattle streetcar, the South Lake Union Trolley (nicknamed "The SLUT" for the obvious acronym) is a money loser and white elephant.
So, at a time that all five of Seattle's main bridges are in need of urgent repair and earthquake retrofitting, the city wants to spend $18,000,000 to study streetcar lines that should not be built and likely never will.
Oh, the story gets better....
Remember the original $20 increase from August 2011 imposed by King County? Did that amount go to help build new roads or repair the existing ones? No, the money went to mass transit and to preserve bus lines. Once again, car owners subsidize non-car owners.
As predicted, Seattle's bicycle addicted mayor wants to use some of the proceeds to build SIXTY MILES of new bike lanes and 1,240 parking spots for bicycles.
But in a city where sidewalks are needed desperately in some northern Seattle neighborhoods, only NINE BLOCKS PER YEAR are allocated to be built.
At the present time, it appears that Prop 1 will fall to defeat. Virtually everyone is against it except the bicycle clubs and labor unions that would benefit from the financial windfall.
So what does any of this story, however interesting it is, have to do with real estate investment?
Simple. When Prop 1 fails, Seattle will do once again what it did before.
Tax real property owners to get the road and bike money it needs.
The great sham in the Prop 1 debate is the relatively untold story of a 2006 tax increase called "Bridging the Gap" which was supposed to completely eliminate the backlog of transportation projects in Seattle.
It didn't, obviously. Homeowners (and investors) in Seattle are still paying the $365 million tax bill. Where did much of the Bridging the Gap money go? You guessed it. Mass transit and not road repairs. Aside from being ashamed of this fact, Seattle boasts about it.
"BE BOLD" he admonished the City Council.
Instead, they were reckless and came up with the madness that is Seattle Proposition 1.
When I finally find myself agreeing with Ken Schram, maybe the Apocalypse really is on the way after all.

S&P 500 Bear Market
As Mr. Bernanke spoke today, the S&P 500 index officially hit bear market territory. You can watch the video above and listen to the words that spooked traders this morning.
What is more interesting to me is how the financial press covered Bernanke's testimony today. Here is an excellent example from IBT. Did you hear what they say he said?

STEM Career Day gives students valuable insight, skills
Written by Wilford Shamlin
Schools and businesses are working together to expose students to in-demand careers in science, technology, engineering and science, or STEM.
That was obvious during a career day recently hosted by Girard College and that engaged students with such attractions as a laser show, three-dimensional printing and the designing a prosthetic dolphin fin. Student participants also walked away from the STEM Career Accelerator Day with experience at applying 'soft skills,' which according to organizers, can make them more competitive as job candidates.
More then 200 students attended the Day, with 50 parents assisting 15 employees from Deloitte, a global business analytics firm with offices in Philadelphia. In neighboring New Jersey, Campbell's Soup, headquartered in Camden, was a lead sponsor for STEM Career Accelerator Day, which was also organized in schools in more than 18 states.
The STEM Career Day Accelerator initiative is aimed at high school and middle school students, particularly females and minorities who are under-represented in STEM fields. Girls made up more than half of the participants at last week's event with minority participation exceeding 75 percent of those in attendance, event organizers said.
For Sheila Boyington, creator of Learning Blade software, the event was a chance to inspire a younger generation.
"For me, this is, personally, a passion," she said. "Having a STEM background gives you the ability to follow any career path you want." She said she created the STEM-related software because she felt it would appeal to students and extend her reach across the country.
A 12-week program geared for Girard College's extended-day students launched on the same day, Oct. 23. Part of the interactive, science-based academic exercises called for dividing students into teams and working as engineers and scientists who handled different phases of the group project.
"An integrated task force focuses not only on STEM disciplines and activity that amplifies the STEM skill sets, it introduces critical thinking, soft-skill collaboration such as team work, innovation and leadership," said Tonie Leatherberry, of Deloitte Consulting LLP. "That's what we're really trying to do at these sites. The number one reason kids don't go into STEM careers is they don't know about them. We're trying to expose as many kids to as many career options as we can."
The structured day of hands-on activities included work on computer software, solving business problems with such technology as 3-D printers used in manufacturing, and learning about light and laser in the application of other technology. Students worked to solve issues related to water irrigation and involving turbine wind. They also designed a prosthetic device for a dolphin with a damaged fin.

Name That Price!
Radiohead did it.
And now, you can add GOOD Magazine to the list.
After picking up the latest GOOD Sheet at Starbucks last week, I ventured over to GOOD's website to poke around a little. Minutes later, I became their newest subscriber. Honestly, it was hard to resist. GOOD is now offering a 'name that price!' subscription with 100% of your donation going to the charity of your choice.
Talk about a bunch of do-GOOD-ers!

One Response to "Name That Price!"
When money is the bottom line, it's hard for brands/businesses/organizations to let go like that.
When the bottom line is about improving life for others, there's a world of new ways to connect with people. Glad to see more and more subscribing to the "good for all" ideology.
Great find! Hey did you catch Neil Perkin's thoughts on doing good?

McKEESPORT, Pa. — The plastic heart that sustained Thomas Gaidosh while surgeons located a human donor heart sits on his game room mantel these days, and Gaidosh is back at work in the driver's seat of a forklift.
"A lot of people said I was crazy to want to go back," said the 48-year-old father of two, who returned to work in early November for the first time since January, 1983. "But I'm just glad to be able to do the job again."
It was little more than a year ago that Gaidosh, his own heart failing, received a Jarvik-7 artificial heart. The mechanical heart kept him alive for four days, until a donor heart could be located and transplanted.
'Like Riding a Bike'
Returning to driving a forklift was "just like riding a bike," said Gaidosh, who has regained weight, strength and his sense of humor.

Actually, I dont have the green thumbs for planting, my mother in law likes to give me a pot of plants for me and she has a nice garden and plants inside her house, most of the times most that I planted dont last very long, either I forgot to water them or they just suddenly died on me, but I just have to keep trying and read more books about gardening *teehee*.
The three metal containers are for Basil, Chives and Oregano that we bought in Sainsburys and it's a set of three, while the tomatoes and another basil plastic pots are sold separately, the tomatoes will be moved soon to a larger pot, hopefully they wont die on me! just gotta keep a closer eye on them. I wanted to plant strawberrys and Pumpkins as well but we'll see how it goes :).

He looks at me; his eyes are glistening with tears... Both his hands are pulling at his own hair... He has no shirt on, just jeans and bare feet... I can see the muscles in his arms, chest and abs all clench and tighten as he pulls at his hair... And I fight with myself not to reach out to him.... "I love you Lauren .... I would leave my daughter fatherless and die for you... Never forget that"... That kills me… If it were possible for my heart to break any more today then that just did it. He has tears on his cheeks and I know he is as broken as I am, he walks towards the door without saying another word... Jo follows him as I slowly sink to my knees....
Meet the Author:
I was born and raised in a small working class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne Australia. I am currently a stay at home mum but in the past I have worked as a classroom assistant/teachers aid. As well as writing, I love to read and have been known to get through four or five books a week, when I'm not writing… My other interests are watching my boys play football…The round ball version; I am happy to admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and Twitter family in promoting my work; I am also rather partial to a glass or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I do not own a pair of white stilettos…

Well, I decided to take time out of my crippling addiction to Candy Crush Saga and share one of my best recipes to date. I made this for dinner sometime last week, and even though it was a complete experiment, it was fantastic! Since there are a couple of different recipes and steps going on with this one, I won't bore you with my incessant rambling and will just get to it.
Crab Salsa
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat
1 cup chopped grape tomatoes
1 small diced red onion
4 stalks green onion
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
3 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp Old Bay
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and season with Old Bay, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Crab Baked Avocados
So then we decided to take an already delicious crab salsa and put it in a glorious avocado. Yes.
Crab Salsa
4 Avocados
Preheat Oven to 375 degrees F
Slice Avocados in half and remove pit. Spoon a little bit of the avocado out to make a larger opening to put in your filler.
Scoop in the desired amount of crab salsa into each side of your avocados.
Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes.
Remove from skin (we used a spoon and it was easily separated) and enjoy!!

A bronze memorial to the "comfort women" who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army throughout World War II will soon grace Glendale's Central Park, having been given the City Council's approval this week.
Most of the victims of this shameful practice were Korean, but they were not alone. There were also Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino women coerced into meeting the sexual needs of Imperial soldiers.
The City Council's decision to approve this memorial tribute — paid for by the Korea Glendale Sister City Assn. — was a metal reminder of the practice, and a physical plea that it never happen again.

We provide general conditions to derive posterior concentration rates for Aalen counting processes. The conditions are designed to resemble those pro- posed in the literature for the problem of density estimation, for instance in Ghosal et al. (2000), so that existing results on density estimation can be adapted to the present setting. We apply the general theorem to some prior models including Dirichlet process mixtures of uniform densities to estimate monotone non- increasing intensities and log-splines.

Liam Mullone
|Commended by The Guardian, The Indpenedent, The Daily Mirror and Chortle, award-winning comedian, Liam Mullone, is an exceptional and original talent with an intelligent yet accessible mind; unmistakable, unique material; and the stream of consciousness style of delivery of a 'befuddled don' that makes him brilliant a tour de force.
Shortly to film for Comedy Central's Alternative Comedy Experience with Stewart Lee, Liam has appeared twice on ITV2's Stand Up Hero, ITV's Take The Mic, BBC7's New Comedy Awards and BBC R4's 28 Acts in 28 Minutes. Writing credits include C4's Stand Up For The Week, BBC3's Russell Howard's Good News, BBCR4's The Now Showand The Arthur Smith Lectures.
As an award-winner for the York Comedy Festival, runner up in the Metro Life London Comedy Quest and a twice- finalist in the BBC Comedy Awards, Liam is set to 'hit the bigtime'(Evening Standard)
|"If the lovechild of Stewart Lee & Harry Hill took the stage, it would be as competent and conflicted as this", fringebiscuit.co.uk – Aug-2012
|"An unheralded but hugely talented stand-up and arch misanthrope. Each routine is studded with beautifully crafted gags… Somehow, out of the pessimism comes a rich vein of comedy, which � even if it doesn't seem to cheer Mullone up much � makes life all the more pleasurable for the rest of us", The Guardian – Jun-2012
|"Brave, curious, disturbing and fantastical", The Independent – May-2012
|"succulent cynicism", Independent 'i' – Apr-2012
|" His talent is undeniable and the room is alive with laughter. ", Fest – Jul-2011
|"the shaded Venn diagram overlap between Eddie Izzard and Dylan Moran… a deceptively sharp operator.", Steve Bennett, chortle.co.uk – Jul-2010
|"tackles topics off the usual comedy palette … with intelligence and a flick of surrealism. Rather than simply accepting the default comic impression that life is shit, he gives the impression he�s thoroughly researched the idea � both in academic theory and through the unforgiving practice of having lived a bit � before coming to the same, cynical conclusion", Steve Bennett, chortle.co.uk – Jul-2010
|"uses language elegantly, making complex ideas accessible yet funny; while his amiably shambolic style, redolent of a befuddled but bright don, is similarly disarming. Rarely does someone who seems so confused prove so incisive", Steve Bennett, chortle.co.uk – Jul-2010
|"There�s some mighty fine writing in evidence in Liam Mullone�s entertaining Fringe debut.

{3:30 minutes to read} The subject of this article comes from my personal experience this past fall with the death of my husband, Cliff. Cliff was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2014. Life took on a new normal, and we had nearly two years after his diagnosis to take care of planning, completing paperwork, and discussing his wishes.

Who Is the Beneficiary of Your IRA?
{3:40 minutes to read} What is a beneficiary designation?
When someone designates a beneficiary of their Individual Retirement Account (IRA), they are authorizing a transfer of their assets, which will occur at the time of their death. Assets that have a named beneficiary will not have to go through probate court. Some of the assets that typically have beneficiary designations are:

About Us
The Institute
For all inclusive development, growth, modern day planning, the transparent, efficient,effective, responsive and low cost decision making systems are necessary. Such systems involve multi-disciplinary information that not only encourage people's participation and ensure equitable development, but also take into account the sustainability of natural resources. The applications of the space technology and geo-informatics have contributed significantly to the socio-economic development.
The department of science and technology of the Government of Gujarat established Remote Sensing and Communaction Centre (RESECO) in 1997 which was renamed to ''BISAG'' in 2003 with enhanced mandate with the aim to integrate the space technology and geo-informatics applications in developmental planning and management of resources.
Now, it has evolved into the ISO 9001:2008, ISO 27001:2005 and CMMI:[Level 5] certified institute and a centre of excellence wherein research and innovations are combined with the user requirements to emerge as a value-added services provider, a technology developer and as a facilitator for providing direct benefits of space technology and geo-informatics to the grass root level functionaries.
BISAG's Growth
Over last 10 years, the institute has experienced extensive growth in the sphere of space and geo-informatics technologies. The objectives with which BISAG was established are manifested in the wide range of services it renders to almost all departments of the state.
Over the years, the institute has been enduring to expand its outreach to disseminate the use of the technologies at the grass root level. In the span of 10 years, BISAG has played multi-dimensional roles and achieved several milestones to emerge as an integral part.

The Counting Rope
The cover of the book.
The Counting Rope
I made a rope with five knots. I added numbered cards if the child wishes to use the rope to make a number line. The aim of this rope is to count using one to one correspondence.
Here is the five knot rope and a nine knot rope. The nine knot rope can be used to sequence the sandpaper numbers from one to nine.
This is DJ completing the nine rope extension activity. You do this blindfolded with the sandpaper numbers.
What I liked about this extension activity is that DJ was able to show empathy to Boy-Strength-of -Blue- Horses. DJ said " Being blind isn't easy, he is smart to still know all that stuff'". If you want to know what all that stuff is that DJ is talking about you have to read the book. I am linking this post to Math Monday hosted by Joyful Learner.

That book looks way too cool!ReplyDelete
I own that book but never got around to reading it. Now, it's a must! The sequencing/knotting rope idea is a great way to learn to tell stories and even learn how to read. I remember one reading program used that method but used different colored paper squares to help the child remember the story sequence.ReplyDelete
As for the link, click on your the title of the post you want to link (eg. The Counting Rope), then go to the url window that starts with http. Copy and past the link to the math links. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful activity!
I love what DJ said also!
I love this, what a cool extension! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I like how you tied in (no pun intended) the book with the activities. I especially liked the blindfold with the sandpaper letters. Wonderful.ReplyDelete

So, I was leaving work after teaching voice lessons on Friday. I was passing through a stairwell on my way out and all of a sudden I couldn't take another step. I couldn't put any pressure at all on my left foot otherwise the sharpest most acute pain would shoot from near my tailbone down my leg. I had had problems with my sciatic nerve earlier in the pregnancy so I knew exactly what it was. This, however was different. It was so overwhelmingly painful that I literally could not take another step.
I called Jason from the stairwell and of course there wasn't anything he could do other than suggest I call someone at the cathedral to come get me. He also told me to take a cab home (a 30/45 minute drive!) if I needed to. I considered calling the music director but I knew he had already left work. I decided to try to get out of the stairwell and then I could get someone to help me. Amazingly, I somehow made it down the rest of the stairs and out of the stairwell. Once I was there, I was able to get two women to help carry me the rest of the way. One of them brought my car around and they made sure I could drive before I went anywhere. Sitting was no problem and moving my leg was not a problem while sitting so I was able to get myself home.
I had my next door neighbor's number handy in case I couldn't get from the car to the house, but then I remembered that he had recently had shoulder surgery and wouldn't be much help. Luckily, when I arrived home, the two men who had been installing our new kitchen floor (woo hoo!) were just leaving. They ended up carrying me into the house and putting me on the couch. I sat there for two hours until Jason was able to make it home.
Jason had to help me with absolutely everything the entire weekend and was such a hero! I couldn't do a thing without him. We eventually got into a good groove. I spent most of my time in a rolling office chair and he would roll me around the house. He would prepare and bring me all my food and would even bring me a bowl and glass of water when it was time to brush my teeth. He also got up with me multiple times during the night so I could use the restroom. What a good husby!
Today (Monday) was the first day that the pain let up. I was able to get around using crutches this morning and now am able to walk (however slowly) on my own. I'd say I am 80% better. What a relief! I have one more big concert this Sunday to get through before I can relax. I need to get through Christmas singing my church gigs, but those are much less stressful than full blown concerts. I am in the home stretch! This pregnancy has overall been pretty easy, but I am so anxious to get my body back to normal!

SANTA ANA – A parolee who told investigators he aimed a laser at three jetliners and a police helicopter out of boredom was ordered held without bail today pending trial on charges of interfering with individuals operating aircraft, authorities said.
Dana Welch, 36, of Orange has been held on a parole violation since his arrest on May 22, a day after the laser pointings were reported.
A federal grand jury returned the four-count indictment last week, and Welch made an initial appearance in U.S. District Court where a magistrate declined to set bail, said Laura Eimiller of the FBI.
Welch was charged with three counts of willful interference with an individual operating a commercial airliner and one count of attempted to interfere with an individual operating a police helicopter.
The planes were heading for John Wayne Airport, while the police helicopter had been sent to investigate the pilots' reports.
One pilot later told authorities the incident was "scary" and said he was bothered because he realized he could have lost his sight which would have prevented landing of the aircraft, according to a 22-page FBI affidavit.
Welch, who was contacted by police at his home in the 200 block of South Olympia, initially denied pointing the laser, but under further questioning said he did so out of boredom and would have pointed it at a bird had one been flying around.
Welch was on active parole at the time after serving time on drug and weapons charges, police said earlier.
He faces up to 20 years on each count if convicted, Eimiller said.
According to Sgt. Dan Adams of the Orange Police Department, the pilots of Alaska, United and Delta airliners reported that a laser had been pointed at them as they approached the airport.
A police helicopter responded to the area, and the pilot quickly reported that a laser was also pointed at the copter.

The concept of flow
Written by

Interesting Montessori-Concepts
Published: 21 September 2010
When my children joined the Montessori-Kindergarden and then the Montessori-School I was told about an interesting concept: "The concept of flow". A detailed description can be found in i.e.
. Since then I'm orienting my work in correspondence to this concept in my personal and professional life. I'm trying to move my work into the Flow corner piece. That is to get and maintain a high skill level and master with that set big challanges. Also I'm applying the concept to the group of my co-workers to work as a team so that each individual can reach the Flow corner piece.
