Managing the Robotics Organization with Robotics – IoT Getting your first robotics device setup and running is a wonderful accomplishment. Now you're faced with the challenge of reproducing an army of these bots and providing the organization, care and maintenance globally. With all of these "robot things" to control, you need to enter the transition to the era of Roboitcs – Internet of Things or R-IoT. This session will explore the overlap of the IoT space as it applies to global deployment systems in robotics.
Advances in Robot Gripping, Grasping and Manipulation Robotics automation is fueling the manufacturing 2.0 revolution as robots packages and pricing are now reachable for middle and small manufactures. But there is much more happening than new low cost programmable arms, innovative end effectors are coming to market that allow robots to perform tasks more accurately or allow robots to perform tasks they could not perform in the past. During this session, attendees will learn about these new technologies and applications for robotics.

This and That
I've not had much time to update the blog lately so there's lots to tell. Maidstone Knitters met again last Saturday and we're gradually growing in number every month. I think this looks a half way decent amount of people considering we've only been going for three months. From left to right there are Jan, Sharon, Cecilia, Holly and Mary-Lou (not counting me as I was acting as group photographer at the time).
Sharon gave us a demonstration in bobbin lacemaking. The lace is made on what is called a pillow (below).
Doesn't it look lovely with all the spangles on the ends of the bobbins!? Here's another shot which shows the spangles a bit better.
This pillow is made of polystyrene and has a rolling section for use with long pieces of lace. Sharon also has two round lace pillows stuffed with sawdust and shaped a bit like a mushroom top and a bolster shaped one stuffed with straw.
The bobbins have the spangles on the ends to provide weight for the tension of the thread and also to help to recognise worker bobbins and to distinguish other important bobbins from the rest. There are three types of bobbins, the normal English type which can be made of wood, brass, bone, or plastic; the Belgian type; and another English type called Honiton bobbins which don't have spangles and are more like thin wooden needles.
There are only two stitches to remember; whole-stitch and half-stitch, and
only four bobbins are worked with at any one time. So, although you may be confronted with a pillow which has 48+ bobbins on, you can concentrate only on the four that you're working with and all the others will be used in succession. All of this information was kindly provided by Sharon who also assures us that, although it looks difficult, once you've mastered the stitches and got used to the terms of pinning up and covering the pin and are used to twisting the threads in a certain way, you will gain confidence and speed. Sharon goes on to say, however, that speed is not the goal. What is more important is accuracy in creating lace which looks pleasing and without any mistakes yet is able to be handled and perhaps worn without falling apart.
Here's Mary-Lou having a go and looking very diligent as she's being guided by Sharon.
In other news, I've got involved in some charity knitting in our village. Another Sharon, who did the food for DH's 50th birthday party, saw my advert regarding Maidstone Knitters in the village magazine and rang to ask if I and/or any knitters in the group would be interested in doing some charity knitting in support of Breast Cancer and Cancer Research Charities. The knitting will be sold at a craft fair to be held in November and all of the yarn has been donated so next week I'll be visiting to choose yarn for projects. I also purchased 6 skeins of Kid Silk Night (two each of black, grey and white) at 25% off normal price from Burford Needlecraft. They're relocating so everything in the shop is available at 25% off. I'm going to use the Kid Silk Night to make three evening stoles as a donation and I've already knitted a scarf and some wristlets (photos to follow when I get a chance to take them in daylight) in yarn which was donated to our group by one of the members of Freecycle .
I started the Fickle Fingers Scarf which is looking lovely but, after knitting up one ball, I quickly realised that two balls isn't going to be sufficient as one ball has resulted in only 17 inches of scarf. Apparently, others have had the same problem and I think that the two balls recommended in Interweave Knits should have, in fact, been three balls. I found the yarn on a few German sites and have emailed one of them to see if they have the same dye number.
Next Saturday, I'll be back at the Knit Tin for the "Style a Knit to Suit You" workshop with Jane Crowfoot (the lady who wrote that excellent book "Finishing Techniques for Handknitters").
Lastly, I acquired this vintage yarn for £7 (approx. 650g of it).
There are twelve 2 oz skeins of the darker one which is labelled English Lady Huski Knit (colour - Blend) and one 2 oz skein of what is labelled Marshgrove Huski Knit Pure Wool (colour - Sungold). Although only the single skein is actually described on the label as being wool, I believe that they all are as, apart from the difference in colour, they feel and look the same and they were all described as wool when I bought them.
My understanding is that they were bought at Marshall & Snelgrove, a department store which was part of Victorian London and which closed in the 1960s. The photo below from this website , shows on the left the corner of Marshall & Snelgrove in Victorian times.
I'm not sure if the yarn is DK or aran weight and would also be interested to know more about the yarn, e.g. exactly how old it is, etc. Apart from the historical interest, I was attracted to it because of the colour as I'm enjoying Project Spectrum and next month's colours are orange and yellow.
I'd be really interested if anyone can tell me more about this yarn and also any suggestions on what I might knit with it? Orange is not a colour I can wear as a top or anything like that. Or, perhaps, I shouldn't knit anything with it and just preserve it as it is for it's historical interest? What do you think?

On they way back to Scotsdale from Tucson (about 2.5 hour drive), we picked up a nail in the rental car. It is not a fun experience to have a tire go instantly flat at 70 miles per hour on the freeway. We are very glad that it was a rear tire, not a front. We got off at the next exit and stopped in the parking lot of a Circle K. Leslie went to work calling Payless Car Rental ($200 cheaper for a week with a minivan than their competitors) and I set about changing the spare. Hmm....the spare is not inside the car anywhere. Or underneath the back of the car. So I ask Leslie to look in the owner's manual while she's on hold. Hmmm...no owner's manual in the car. Leslie finally gets someone on the phone. They don't have roadside assistance, even if we paid for the insurance, the tire isn't covered. They don't want to call anyone for us either. Also, they don't know where the spare is located.
I finally locate the spare myself. On the 2007 Dodge caravan, the spare is located underneath the middle of the car between the driver and passenger seats. Okay. I can reach the spare, barely. Good thing I've lost weight recently. However, once I'm down there, I can't figure out how to get the thing off. So we call Payless again. They can't tell us how either. Ooookaaaaay. Not so happy a camper is this photogeek. We eventual call someone to come change the tire, even though I've never had a problem changing a tire before. I just can't figure out how the heck to get the thing off the car to change it!
So a very nice, helpful guy comes and helps us out. I wish I'd just called him immediately instead of trying to figure out how to do it on my own for an over an hour (I'm a little stubborn and convinced that I'm perfectly capable of changing my own tire). It turns out that to get the tire off, you have start by constructing a three piece, three foot high tool that you then insert into a peg that is covered by a plastic cap between the driver and passenger seats inside the car to remove the tire that is underneath the car. A very...interesting design choice by Dodge.
So, it's 8:00 at night and we are on our way. WhooHoo. Only, we are on our way back to Tucson, the nearest city where we can buy the required Firestone tire. We stopped at a nearby Walmart and they offered to stay open late and replace our tire, but Payless requires you to buy the exact same tire, or you get to pay for two tires that you only get to drive on less than a week. So, it's back the 45 minutes to the mall in Tucson, where there is a lovely Firestone dealer. They kindly stay open late to replace our tire (kudos to Firestone, you've earned our business). It actually took longer for the mechanic to figure out how to put the spare back than replace the tire. It did my ego some good to have to show the mechanic with the "ASE Certified" logo on his sleeve how to put the spare back on. Maybe I'm not completely helpless!
So, the morals of the story:
- We will go out of our way not to use Payless Car Rental ever again. They were very nice on the phone, but not particularly helpful.
- We like Walmart and Firestone! They were both willing to stay open past their normal operating hours to help us out.
- We like American Express, because, surprisingly, they are likely to cover the cost of the tire because we rented the card on AmEx.
- Treat people well and you will earn their business, or at least my business.
So, if you ever feel like I'm treating you like Payless Car Rental (I don't know where the spare tire is and I can't call anyone that does), call me on it! I want my clients to feel like Firestone treated us (yes, I have the product you want and I will stay open late to help you out).
A couple photos.
Notice the beautiful sunset lighting!
The last photo of the night. I was a little upset and couldn't imagine actually wanting a photo of the device to stick into the floorboard of the van to remove the spare - silly me!

If your vehicle were damaged in an accident, how would you get to work or drive your kids to school? Most Auto policies give you the option to add the Rental Reimbursement option to vehicle(s) that you fully insure. This covers all or part of the cost of a rental car if your vehicle is disabled due to a loss covered by your policy, giving you something else to drive while your vehicle is being repaired.
If your vehicle is involved in an accident and isn't drivable, Rental Reimbursement coverage typically kicks in right away. If your car is drivable after an accident, then a rental car will normally be offered for the period of time that it is in the shop. If the cost to repair your vehicle is too high and the insurance company declares it a total loss, the rental car will typically extend until shortly after your claim is settled.
When you add Rental Reimbursement coverage to your vehicle, you will usually get to choose from optional limits such as:
Locally, most insurance companies will offer to set you up with a rental car through Enterprise. In this arrangement, Enterprise will directly bill your carrier for the cost of the rental car, up to your coverage limit(s). However, if your total cost (including taxes) for the rental car exceeds the daily or total limits shown above, then you will be responsible for the difference. Because Enterprise typically provides discounted insurance rates, $30 a day is usually about enough to cover the cost for their most basic vehicle in Bemidji.
You also have the option to choose your own rental car provider. In this case, the rental car provider might bill your insurance company (if they are willing to do so); otherwise you can pay for the rental care and then submit your receipt to your claim adjuster and ask for reimbursement up to your covered limit.
Because rental car agencies in town run a fairly tight inventory, it's usually best to reserve your rental car as soon as you schedule the repairs with your body shop. If your vehicle isn't drivable after an accident or if your vehicle is stolen, it can be hit and miss as to whether a rental car will be available immediately or not.
Rental Reimbursement is priced quite reasonably – often costing $1 to $4 per month per vehicle. Some insurance companies will actually include a nominal limit for free on all vehicles that they fully insure. Most often, if a limit is included for free it is $20 per day. We represent one insurance company that includes $30 per day at no additional charge.
It's important to note the Rental Reimbursement doesn't kick in unless there is damage to (or theft of) your vehicle which is covered under your policy. Since Auto insurance doesn't cover mechanical issues, you can't use your Rental Reimbursement coverage if your vehicle goes in the shop needing transmission work or a new carburetor. You also can't buy Rental Reimbursement coverage on a vehicle you insure for "Liability only".
Some people may choose not to buy Rental Reimbursement coverage under the assumption that their body shop will provide a loaner car or that a rental car will be covered by their vehicle warranty. However, our experience is that only in rare cases do body shops provide loaners, and any rental car coverage in your warranty probably only applies if you have a warranty claim for a mechanical issue to your vehicle.
While making the wrong decision on whether to add Rental Reimbursement won't make or break you financially, I can tell you that having this coverage definitely makes things easier after an accident. If you don't have access to backup vehicle, I think this is probably worthwhile to add.

Espresso: Aragon is a wholesale customer of Barefoot Coffee Roasters and uses their Element 114 blend. At Aragon, my shot was pulled longer than I'm used to (a single reached nearly 2oz.). As a result of this, the crema was paler than it should have been, and the heavy body for which this blend is known was somewhat reduced. Nonetheless, the shot was not bitter. The barista did things right, preheating the cup, pouring directly into it, and grinding the shot individually. The single shot shouldn't have been served in a cappuccino-sized cup, however.
Atmosphere: Aragon is a very large shop, but other than a nice tile floor, it made little impression on me. Parking is difficult on the street, and it took me a little while to realize that there is a lot behind the shop.
Verdict: Worth a stop if you're in the North SJ area; alternately, if you like lungos, this could be your place.

Major changes afoot here as of Nov. 6, 2006. The shop has diminished greatly in size (what used to be the other half has been walled off and now houses an insurance office). They also now are brewing with some superauto machine. It produced a suprisingly ok shot of proper volume and decent, medium-brown crema. A properly-sized cup was preheated. They're still using Barefoot beans.

WOW Keryn this is just gorgeous and I can't believe this little cutie was free in a craft magazine - do tell me which one? What a nightmare you have had with the phonecalls! I get really fed up with them too and I'm ex directory. We had a phonecall at 4.10 am on Wednesday morning - the caller hung up and another one this morning from a guy in India who could hardly speak English advising that he had been informed that someone in our household had had an accident - I said I don't ffing think so and where ever you have got my number from delete it and don't call me again!! So far nothing LOL. There seems to be alot of them happening at the moment, but so frustrating when you have had to change your number and if I ever find Heidi I will give her a piece of my mind! LOL. Have a good day. Hugs, Claire x

Gorgeous card Keryn, love the sweet image. The best way of dealing with these calls is simply to say 'this number does not receive unsolicited calls, you are in breech of the law and your number is being tagged as we speak'. They always say sorry and hang up. We rarely get repeat calls;) If I find Heidi I will warn her you are on the look out lol.

The nursing information systems challenge in 1997 is to identify and implement technology and information systems solutions that provide more breadth, depth, flexibility and standardization than ever before, and at a faster pace. To meet the challenge we need more than application checklists. We need to challenge the old approaches to defining needs, implementing systems and training users. Nurses must be educated, involved and accountable for the integration of systems into the patient care process. It's time for new thinking; it's time to ask why we are doing things the same way we did them 20 years ago when everything else about healthcare has changed.

My Great Five Reasons For The Purchase Of Jewellery With Sapphires
My Introduction
Sapphire jewellery is available in many different guises, such as sapphire rings, with variants including sapphire engagement and eternity rings, sapphire earrings and sapphire pendants, as well as bracelets, necklaces and more. They are to be found available in just about all shapes, quality of cut, clarity and size, but probably the most variable aspect is that of its massive variety of colour hues found. Every colour except that of red. If you are thinking of purchasing jewellery of any type, then sapphire jewellery should be one of your very first choices.
The sapphire has been the gemstone of choice for many Royals and other famous people, and so continues to be today without any lessening in popularity.
The choice you will find in front of you when choosing this gemstone jewellery, will be massive!
My 5 Great Reasons
i. Sapphire Hardness
This gemstone crystal is ranked second along with that of the ruby on the Mohs hardness scale, to only that of diamond. This undoubtedly means that it has greater robustness and resistance to knocks etc when being worn compared to that of some lesser robust gemstone variants.
ii. Anniversary Stone
The sapphire crystal has been always symbolically linked to commemorate any of the 5th, 45th and 70th anniversary celebrations, such as that of birthdays and wedding anniversaries.
iii. Birthstone
If you are thinking of purchasing a sapphire engagement ring for example, then if you are either born in the month of September or have an association with the Zodiac sign of Cancer, then this is definitely the gemstone for you.
iv. Sapphire Colour
The most valuable of blue colours is usually said to be that of the cornflower blue shade, followed by Ceylon mid-blues and then on to the very dark, almost black blues known as Australian blue. Other colours include yellow, orange, hot pinks, purples and greens, as well as a lovely orange-pink that is known as Padparadscha.
v. Legend
Throughout history, if you had hearing problems. inflammation, cancer, burns or suffered nightmares or other evil thoughts, then this was the stone for you to help eliminate them. It was said to be the gemstone that came from the heavens, and also ensured the wearer would be happy, truthful and faithful.
In Conclusion
Although not as valuable usually as the ruby, it can be more valuable than diamond, and in any case it is still the worlds number one selling gemstone.
Any of your jewellery will obviously become dirty with wear over time, but your cherished Sapphire Ring for example, can easily be refurbished back to looking new once again. Just use a soft toothbrush that is immersed in warm and mildly soapy water, and gently scrub to achieve fantastic results.
Sapphire Jewellery is surely not meant to be hidden away from all eyes, so just please make sure you wear it if you are indeed lucky enough to have any.
King Solomon used it as his Royal seal, early Popes wore it as a mark of their rank, and Prince Charles famously presented a truly wondrous example to Lady Diana. Then it surely is a majestic item that all should be proud to own and wear, and not keep hidden away in a box for no body to see.

Op-EdYour Semi-Daily Dosage 07/10/06Op-Ed - RSS 2.0
It's that time again, folks, for your semi-daily dosage with yours truly. Not much on the ticket right now, but no one likes moving and shaking when it's 100 degrees outside.
Take-Two investigated by the SEC.
Oh, Take-Two, how far you have fallen. Amid plummeting stock prices and public opinion numbers rivaling those of a certain member of the executive branch of a certain developed nation, Take-Two is now staring down the barrel of government injunction. The Securities and Exchange Commission is taking a gander at the way Take-Two handed out their stock options to determine if they handed them out in a way to artificially boost the price of their stocks.
I know what you're thinking: What does this have to do with Hot Coffee? It doesn't. But everyone knows its best to kick people when they're down. It's the democratic thing to do.
Take-Two released a statement saying they plan to cooperate in the investigation.
This has me deeply worried. The more Take-Two suffers financially, the lesser the chances of Max Payne 3 finding its way onto store shelves. Sandbox games with dead hookers be damned, I want my game noir.
Bono likes money, too.
And that's ... OK. Pop star Bono of U2 fame thinks videogames are the future; he's invested $300 million into Pandemic Studios, creators of Destroy All Humans and Full Spectrum Warrior. But his investment has drawn some flak over Pandemic's upcoming game, Mercenary 2, which sends players into Venezuela, which in the game is led by an oil-hungry dictator who probably doesn't send cheap oil to freezing American families.
Most of the charges of hypocrisy haven't left gossip columns, but this is an instance where an outspoken proponent of peace is endorsing, through his money rather than his words, a violent, politically charged game that clashes with his publicly stated ideals. It's easy to write Bono off on this one, but once your cash leaves your wallet, it's tough to have much say in what the guy now holding it does with it.
Vietnam gets into the virtual property business.
A 10-person firm in Vietnam has opened up shop, the first of its kind in the nation. Ngo Xuan Chinh, the company's founder, decided to jump into the field professionally after playing games on his own. He's got his 10 workers divided into three shifts, who work to meet production quotas.
They're paid VND 20,000 ($1.25) an hour, which had me frothing in liberal sweatshop outrage until I realized that's only slightly less than what Vietnamese workers make on average, anyway. (Interesting note: The Vietnamese make $0.25/hour less than the Indians. Large corporate HR guy, please email me for directions on where you can put my finder's fee.)
What's most interesting about this turn of events is that Chinh can't even incorporate his company, because there are no laws governing virtual property in Vietnam, which just goes to show you, everything is legal somewhere.
That's all from the home front, folks. Until next time, I'm Joe Blancato and I'm still not clever.

As the working week drew to a close, it was clear that the RFI response would be assembled and submitted comfortably in advance of the client's deadline ...
... whether it is any good is another matter, so all I can say at this stage is that we have delivered crap ahead of time.
With that out of the way I needed something to fill my day and the lawn didn't need a trim. Instead I sat down and completed some long overdue admin. I won't go into details because there is no way that I can make the updating of a workload report in any way enthralling.
I finished the day with a long call to a frolleague in Nevada who will be sadly moving to another team in the next couple of weeks. I'll miss her jaded cynicism and the shared, complete and utter loathing for another of our colleagues who is based in New Jersey.
Team calls will never be the same now I will no longer have someone to bitch with via the corporate instant message service during the tedium.

This is what happened when a woman asked Twitter to shout her a drink
The Pussycat Dolls preaching the truth when they sang "be careful what you wish for".
Because, as the saying goes, you just might get it.
And that's what happened when a British woman parked herself at a table in a pub and asked people on Twitter to shout her a drink.
Perri Game and a mate were at cheap British pub chain, Wetherspoons, a pub that has an app which allows customers to order and pay for food and drinks instead of going up to the counter.
It was meant for people who are sitting at a table who don't want to disrupt conversation/can't be arsed to get up.

This app is open to rorting, meaning you can order a bevvy or some chippies though your phone without having to even be there.
Yep, we know what you're thinking and we're already campaigning for a similar scheme here.
Anyway, Game posted this to Twitter, hoping to score a free round:

And for a while, nothing happened.

But then, success.
Someone had seen her plea and answered the call for free drinks.
[Image via Twitter/@perrigame]
But the sucess was short-lived.
Because things started getting a little hectic.
Another drink was brought over, then another one...
[Image via Twitter/@perrigame]
Then someone bought her a glass of milk.
At a pub.
We guess you could say that things escalated quickly.
[Image via Twitter/@perrigame]
The dream became a nightmare:

Game's story obviously went nuts, appearing on UK sites like The Daily Mirror and The Poke.
"I think in the end it was about 60 drinks, including milk, water, apple juice, jugs of pitchers, 20 shots and glasses of things I've never even seen before," Game told UK journo Josh Barrie.
"We had to make friends with a group of strangers to help us drink the drinks because there was only two of us out.
"At the end we asked the staff to stop making the drinks and just keep them for themselves because it was getting out of hand."
Because nothing typifies "getting out of hand" quite like four gravy boats full of peas.
For the record, Game backed up just fine the next day but said on Twitter she'd probably give the free-drink plea a miss next time.
"Never doing that again," she said.

An archive showcasing some of the high level events held by the FMB External Affairs department.
The FMB's recommendations for driving up standards, to improve the image of the industry, boost consumer confidence and attract new recruits
Research produced by the FMB and the Local Government Information Unit has revealed some of the barriers to developing small sites.
The FMB believes firmly in supporting businesses that invest in the future workforce by taking on and training apprentices.
The economic benefits of new house building are widely accepted and the social need for more new homes is equally well recognised.
The Government has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions by 80% by 2050.
The construction industry is vital to the health of the UK economy – for every £1 invested in construction, 92p stays within the UK.
There are many economic and environmental benefits to be gained from using small, local businesses.
The building industry is largely unregulated. Therefore, the FMB has an important role to play when it comes to driving up work standard.

Thanks for all who came out for Mislaid, a story that certainly went in unexpected directions! Our February selection is the famous anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. This novel, published in 1852, was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the Civil War, less than a decade later. A story circulated that when Abraham Lincoln met the author at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war." Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century. We look forward to seeing you on February 7 for discussion of this classic novel! Ron Elkins, Organizer Indianapolis Book Club Meetup

Campaign of the Month: August 2016
Oath of Crows
Marwth heraldry
Azure, an eagle rising argent
The Marwth shield is one representing the roman heritage. Initially the shield styled a silver eagle spread out over a blue sky, but in later periods the eagle is standing on the ground just before taking flight.
Marwth heraldry has been around since the Battle of Carlion, where Bryn was given a shield for his family as a reward for capturing the Irish cheiftan Niall's banner on the battlefield. The shield is inherited by the eldest son always, and cannot be modified in anyway by siblings, children or kin.
The shields colors and symbol was carefully chosen by a roman herald, hired by the family to best represent the future of the house. A roman white eagle was chosen, partly because it represented the roman eagle, and partly because the tribal part of the family had ties to the eagle. The eagle is depicted on a blue background, said to represent the sky where the eagle flies. Ever spreading it's wings, ready to take flight. Ambition, tradition and hope.

Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they can't see you.
Posted by CaveLion on 12/3/2007 at 1:21 PM
I have a wife who has lost her eyesight and I have noticed that it seems like there are not a lot of accommodations made for the blind and visually impaired. I'm talking in general. Take the layout in stores like Wal-Mart, Target, and such. They're very accommodating to people in wheelchairs, but you can be kind of out of luck if you're blind. They stack pallattes in the aisles, make aisles difficult to navigate two people astride, the doors that are not auto-open seem to just wait for a chance to smack you in the rear end while trying to hold it open for someone navigating through, etc.
Maybe I'm getting kind of irate because this is all new to us, but it seems to me that the blind are, ironically, invisible to many people. Hence the title, "just because you can't see them doesn't mean they can't see you."
I suppose it may also be because I'm the kind of person that looks to change the world for the better. I see so many things that could be adapted for the blind that just get ignored. And going back to the stores, their tendency to change things around now and then to present the illusion that the store is brand new must be absolutely vicious when you have to relearn where things are. Even if you use an escort, like I am for my wife, you wind up trekking back and forth across the store 50 times because paper plates used to be in groceries and are now in housewares on the other side of the store.
As we work on my wife's adaptive training, I'm definitely keeping my ear to the ground to see how I can get involved in helping promote advocacy for the blind. As an aspiring teacher, I plan on looking into how to specialize in teaching science to the blind.
Okay.. I'm ranting. I'm done.

Okay I commend u on sticking by her some people are jerks to where they just can't deal with it moving on.
I totally agree, I've never been in a grocery store alone and I do have some vision but things are so hard to navigate around and then I don't want to be in the way of any one else and for some reason when ur half blind lol it's like u think everyone knows it or is focusing on u in a negative way maybe its just me but moving on try smaller stores or making suggestions to managers.
And as for the "its over there" phrase. I look at them like they've just sat on a stove top and ask "WHERE is over there" sheesh those dorks sorry that was mean lol

Man do I know how that feels! I can really only see fog and outlines of objects. I have no depth-preseption so my sight is basically useless to me. Right now in Mobility we are working on Grocery Shopping. Last week I finally understood what you were talking about. I can't tell you how many times I've smashed into desplay signs, or into racks that were in the way. It was so anoying! I wish people would understand that there are people in this world who can't see very well, or can't see at all and need help. Don't put signs where people will smashinto them! It all can be quite a pain.
Re:Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they can't see you.Posted by Elphie on 12/27/2007 at 12:35 AM
Hi Cavelion;
Welcome to our world! I am visually impaired and I shop by myself. It's no big deal. I've been doing that for decades. I know exactly what you are talking about. I have a tough time convincing store employees that I truely have a visually disability and I need extra help. I am not just being lazy. They love to point and say, "It's over there." Even though my white cane is extended and I have it in my hand. My eyes look funny when you stare at me, so I'm not lying. I do talk to management when I think they should be doing something to help me. I'm always thinking about the next blind or visually impaired person who might come in after me. I wish they wouldn't put the aisle numbers so high on the ceiling. If they could lower them and make them darker. I use a hand held magnifier so I can see the name of products and their prices. Sometimes a person may see the device and want one for themselves.
My supermarket is helpful, especially if I tell them I am visually impaired. The market I shop at had a comment card asking, "How can we improve our customer service?" You bet I made some suggestions.
I think society wants to believe that we always bring someone with us when we shop. It is not always the case.
I hope that someday, we can form some kind of advocate program where banks, stores, transportation centers, and offices could best servie the needs of the blind and visually impaired. We have to care about this just like those who happen to use wheelchairs or those who are deaf. Their communities have raised their concerns passionately and look where it got them.
Let's let them have it folks!
Re:Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they can't see you.Posted by gingerspal on 12/12/2007 at 9:21 PM
I've got what my mom calls "white cane rage". It's like road rage but instead of a set of car keys i've got a white cane with a red end. I know society is largely ignorant to the partially blind and sometimes the blind. It is frustrating when the large super stores re organize and then you can't get an associate to help you for beans.
Sometimes folks don't get it until they have to walk a mile in someone elses shoes. My sister did not get it when i told her off for her friend's braizen act of taking away my cane when we were in a public pub on a saturday night after to much liquor. And sometimes we just have to turne a def ear to the "hey watch were you are going" when we accidentally tap into someone while navigating the store. We are doing the best we can and maybe it's the rest of society that must adapt for a change.
Re:Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they can't see you.Posted by carol and sly on 12/5/2007 at 2:32 PM
I understand what you are going through.You wife will be fine since she is geting help. I have some vision like looking through a tunnel. once she gets moble train with a cane she can get around in stores or any where. Maybe a guide dog would help. I am on my seven mounths with my first dog it a takes a lot of work but get out and about better. carol in ca email@example.com

Researchers working at GE's Global Research Lab, 550 acres of big machines and big brains, in the hinterlands of Niskayuna, New York are attempting to change the way we store data using futuristic holographic media. Holographic storage, like GE is working on, and which we got to see up close at their Global Research labs, stores data down inside in many, many layers (GE's demoed up to 75), encoding the data using thousands and thousands of tiny holograms throughout the entire disc.
The secret sauce is the material the disc is made out of, and how it reacts to light. On a broader level, where GE's holographic storage differs from the other major approach to holographic storage (called page-based), and what allows it to reach densities of 1TB per disc, is that it uses even tinier micro holograms that store less data per individual hologram, but more in aggregate.
While GE is mostly pitching the tech to archivists for now—like our friends at the Library of Congress, who wanna hold onto stuff for a real long time—since the discs, GE says, last for 30 years, what makes it viable as a storage tech you might get your hands on soon after it launches in 2012 is that it's designed to fit in with the current optical media infrastructure, meaning it'll be cheaper and easier to roll out than some radically different tech. That is, the discs are the same physical size and shape as CDs and DVDs, and they use a laser that's very similar to Blu-ray's, even using the same wavelength. On a hardware level, it just uses a slightly different optical element, but the rest basically comes down to software/firmware, meaning you might still be able to play your Blu-ray discs in a holographic storage drive. (This exploded view of a disc being read, that orange spinning thing, is what all readers look like in a laboratory, even Blu-ray drives—because it's easier to tweak settings than in their actual product form).

Where Accounting Meets Language
How Firms Use 'On' or 'Of' In Citing Investment Returns May Cut Into Cash Flow
Consider this proposition: The choice of one little preposition can mean a big difference in how much cash a company appears to be generating.
The fine distinction is the difference between return "on" investment and return "of" investment. Many companies are making a choice that, while not at all an impropriety, has the effect of making them look less capable than they really are in expanding their main operations. And that choice gets baked into the cash-flow statements closely watched by large investors....

I know it's been awhile, sorry. There just hasn't been alot going on. The kittens are now 3 months old. I tried taking them to a shelter yesterday, because we just cannot afford to keep them, and we are over our pet limit with all of them still here. We are limited to 4 pets per household, we now have 6. Anyway, you have to have an appointment to drop off, and they charge a drop off fee, which is totally ridiculous. The charge $30.00 for the mother and $50.00 a piece for the kittens, and they have a waiting list. I wouldn't be able to get the kittens in until next month. Get real!! I guess I will just have to give them away.
In other news, as I mentioned in my last blog, my step-daughter and her family moved out, well, they left a big mess in their bedroom and refused to come over and clean it up, so my son and my stepson's girlfriend cleaned it up themselves. It took them 2 hours and 10 industrial strength trash bags. Anyway, I took them over to their house and put them on their patio, the problem with that was, the only time I had to do it was at 9:00 at night. She claims I woke the baby up, I doubt that very much because of where their room is in relation to where the patio is. Anyway, she calls me screaming and yelling, and tells me we can't see the children anymore. The next day she called the house phone yelling at her dad and told him the same thing, needless to say he has not seen the kids since then. I will see them walking down the street when I am out driving. In fact the last time I saw them was last week, they were walking home from the store,"Pinky" was in the stroller wearing a jacket because it was kind of cool, but she had NO SOCKS OR SHOES ON. Sometimes I think those two kids would be better off living with us.

Long, unproductive meetings are often the bane of corporate life.
My very funny boss at the software company where I work has come up with what just might be the perfect way to cut business conferences short before they start rambling out of control.
There comes a time when he announces, "All those opposed to my plan say, 'I resign.'"
End of meeting.

About half of the Camas National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Idaho consists of lakes, ponds, and marshlands; the remainder is grass sagebrush uplands, meadows, and farm fields. Camas Creek flows through the length of the refuge. During migration, which peaks in March-April and October, up to 50,000 ducks and 3,000 geese may be present on the refuge. Tundra and trumpeter swans visit in the hundreds during migration. The refuge has become a popular swan watching destination with hundreds of tundra and trumpeter swans stopping over during migration. Several state record songbird observations have been made in refuge cottonwood groves on the refuge. Water management is a critical component of Camas Refuge operations. An extensive system of canals, dikes, wells, ponds, and water-control structures is used to manipulate water for the benefit of wildlife, with an emphasis on nesting waterfowl. Haying and prescribed fire are used to manipulate vegetation in some fields, and small grain crops are grown to provide supplemental feed for geese and cranes and to keep them from damaging private croplands.
From Interstate 15, take the Hamer exit (exit 150), turn east and go about a quarter of a mile into the little village of Hamer. Turn north on the frontage road, continue about 3 miles then turn west. Continue nearly 2 miles to the refuge. There are signs after you turn off the interstate.

My primary failing as a human being.
Friday, 21 December, 2007
I ask this question sincerely: How do I figure out what parts of society and the world around me to ignore?
Am I supposed to somehow arrive at a conclusion of what the world is like then ignore any information which does not directly correspond? Should I pay no attention to anything outside a certain radius of my experience? How is this radius determined?
Why must I find the world interesting and the process of making my way in it worthwhile? I should just do things and exactly what things I cannot work out, and let the consequences come. This will give me something to do.

Imagining Echolalia from Howard the passive.
"Because family and work are sources of stability and dignity, I support welfare reform that strengthens family and requires work. Because a caring society will value its weakest members, we must make a place for the unborn child. Because religious charities provide a safety net of mercy and compassion, our government must never discriminate against them. Because the union of a man and woman deserves an honoured place in our society, I support the protection of marriage against activist judges."
I can just hear Johnny, parroting these words and themes from President Bush's speech.
This will take us back
to before we were born.

The Government of Saskatchewan continues to seek feedback on The Saskatchewan Employment Act.
From Jul. 23 to Sept. 27, the government will begin consultation on The Saskatchewan Employment Act regulations. The Act consolidates 12 pieces of labour legislation into one updated and comprehensive Act that protects workers, promotes growth and increases accountability.
"Now that The Saskatchewan Employment Act has been passed, there is a need to modernize the related regulations," Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Don Morgan said. "We want to continue our consultation process with the people of Saskatchewan by getting input on the regulations."
This review focuses primarily on employment standards and labour relations; there are a number of occupational health and safety technical regulations that will be addressed later.
"We are very proud of The Saskatchewan Employment Act which reflects best practices and balances the needs of workers and workplaces across our province," Morgan said. "This new legislation clarifies the rights and responsibilities of Saskatchewan employers, employees and the unions that represent organized workers."
"Consultations played a key role in the development of this new labour legislation," Morgan added. "We will continue to work with the Minister's Advisory Committee to help provide context and a balanced approach to our work on the associated regulations."
The government has posted a discussion paper which can be found on the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety's website. Stakeholders and interested parties may provide their feedback in writing to:
Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety300 - 1870 Albert Street, Regina, SK S4P 4W1

Denver man gets a drunk riding ticket!
I didn't even know this was possible, but a Denver man got a ticket for drunk riding!
Apparently while under the influence he decided it would be a good idea to take his horse, Crickett, for a "joyride" through a Denver suburb.
Too funny:
Police say deciding what to do with the horse was a "tricky call" because "you can tow a car" in typical drunk driving cases.
Eventually someone with a trailer gave him and the horse a ride home.
This is the first time I've heard of a "drunk riding" citation. I didn't even know it was possible — after all, the horse isn't drunk, and if his rider is most likely he's doing most of the driving (poor guy).
Have you ever heard of anyone getting a riding under the influence ticket before?

"Family, friends who will stick by your side, you know who's got your back, and church, that's important to me.
At the start I was growing up with one parent. It's just me and Mum at home, so I just have to be the man of the house sometimes, or every day, you know, try be there for her. Ended up getting through it with the help of family, a lot of family members and friends who have your back. Also the Lord, keep praying. You'll eventually pull through.
I've got a son, two years old. It was hard at the start, but you know, you get the hang of it later on. You get used to it and then if you bring them up the right way, you won't have any problems. Stick to a routine. I'm thankful every day for the life that the Lord has given me, and family, friends.
My boss was renovating my cousin's place, and I was doing bricklaying before construction, and he just asked if I wanted to jump onboard. I'm thankful for him, he saw something in me, to ask if I wanted to jump onboard. He's helping me, just trying to push, not only me, but everyone in the team, to get up there, and progress through life.
It's been two years now, going good, getting my apprenticeship. It feels good to help provide for my family. I don't know what I'd do without family. Family is real important. Can't really describe how much, how important they are either, but just know that family will be there if you reach out to them.
To own a business maybe, family business, help out the family, when they're fresh out of school and can jump on board if they have the potential."
