Dr. Frank Olson, a germ warfare expert, was on the army payroll at Fort Dietrich and traveled a great deal in connection with the military experiments on 7000 service men, in the United States and abroad. They were injected with LSD and other substances, which killed some of them. Olson told his wife he had done something terrible and tried twice to resign. He was taken to New York for psychiatric treatment, and jumped out of the window head first even though there was not enough space in the room to start off with a run. Dr. Frederich Hoffman, a former Nazi experimenter, also worked on this project. The Olson family has spent years investigating the likely murder, and many people who have known something about it died prematurely. Some CIA people think Gottlieb's death was not natural. In recent years, retired CIA people hint that Olson had become a security problem, but the family now seems to believe that he was troubled by information that the US may have been using biological weapons in Korea. William Sargent, a former CIA psychiatrist, heard Olson talk about going public with information about experiments on German nationals after World War II, and he alert4ed Olson's superiors. Some believe this is why Olson died. A German documentary in 2002 claimed the US used biological weapons there, and it was based photographs, remains of biological bombs, the findings of two international commissions, and upon the testimony of two pilots held by the North Koreans. It is known that various drugs and poisons were used on North Korean prisoners of war, who were also subjected to physical torture.
Captain George Hunter White, working for Gottlieb, ran Operation Midnight Climax. White was on loan from the forerunner of the DEA. Often people entrapped in the drug worked were used in the sex experiments. This project studied the effects of LSD on sex. He operated a network of brothels and paid "johns" $100 a night in brothels in New York and San Francisco that were equipped with two-way mirrors. CIA men from Washington would come up to New York to watch the sexual action with "guests." The CIA used these brothels to learn all they could about how carnal operations could be better deployed in spying. They found that men talked most after sex and were quite expansive if the prostitute was willing to spend a little more time with him and if she said he was neat and praised his performance. Sometimes victims seemed to go insane after taking a drug and local doctors were brought in to decide if they really were insane.
He had been with OSS during the war. He was also entrusted with dosing unsuspecting people with drugs. He was a hard drinker and a bit wild, so he was not a CIA agent. He ridiculed CIA men, saying they were a "joke" "They were too complicated, and they had other people do their heavy stuff.". White slipped drugs to some Manhattan Project participants, and once tried to drug out Luciano lieutenant August Del Gracio. Gottlieb thought drugging a Mafioso was dangerous and decided that minor gangster could be given drugs but not people tied to organized crime.
He got his pay checks from an agency that was forerunner to the DEA. Captain White, according to Claudia Mullen, also carried out experiments on children in two suites the CIA maintained in a New Orleans hotel. Russell Baker wrote that he was considered an "outside operative." He had previously been on loan to the FBI and worked for Senator Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohen. He was also an investigator for Senator Estes Kefauver. He created problems for himself when he had tried to link Harry Truman to Kansas City criminals. His career as an investigator ended when a memo he wrote surfaced accusing Governor Thomas Dewey of commuting Lucky Luciano's prison sentence in return for a large amount of cash. He alienated Kefauver by leaking confidential information, and had no choice but to seek refuge with the CIA. He retired from the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and CIA in 1965. Portions of his diary were released in 2000 under the Freedom of Information Act. They revealed a very sadistic man. When Captain White retired, he wrote Gottlieb a letter saying he stuck with the experiment, not because he believed in it, but because it was fun: "Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the all-highest?"
Wally Chan worked under Gottlieb experimenting with radioisotopes. At the Walter Fernald School in Waltham, Massachusetts children were fed food that had been contaminated with radioisotopes. Dr. Albert M. Kligman of the University of Pennsylvania did radioisotopes experiments on prisoners. He was interested in seeing how exposure effected the nervous system. Sometimes he applied compounds to the arms, which contained radioisotopes and testosterone. On other occasions, he injected people's upper backs.
Dr. Robert G. Heath of Tulane was involved in experiments on children and adults. One of the subjects recalled the bruises he left. The subject also discussed needle marks, burns on the head, and genital soreness. Heath also implanted 125 electrodes in the brains of subjects and used them to attempt to cure some of homosexuality.
Experiments on children in Mexico and Central America continued for four decades. In Latin America, the agency focused on the brightest children it could find.
One or perhaps several programmers used the name "Dr. Greene." One operated in Arizona and used LSD, radiation, various injections, hypnosis, and electroshock to program subjects, often children. He taught them to pick locks, practice other tricks of the spy trade, and practice killing dummies.
There was a Dr. William Jennings Bryant who was very active in mind control. One wonders if his parents, who named the boy after a great populist, would ever understand their son's work, if made aware of it.
Louis Jolyn West ( 1925-1999) was a CIA mind control expert. He experimented with LSD and it is said that "Jolly" once killed an elephant by shooting it with a dose of LSD. He eventually became a professor of psychiatry at UCLA. There he discussed the possibility of psychosurgery and use of psychiatric techniques to control violence. With the backing of Ronald Reagan he wanted to create an institute for controlling violent impulses but was unable to get state funding. He told a radio interviewer that it is now possible to monitor various changes in brain waves through remote monitoring techniques. Some claim that he proposed using drugs to control politically bothersome elements in the population. In 1996 Army Ranger Major David Morehouse claimed that great progress had been made in "remote viewing" and its most respected practitioner Joe McMoneagle has said that many successes were based on the alternative universes theory in that had been postulated by physicists John Wheeler and Hugh Everett.
It is said that he visited Timothy McVeigh seventeen times in prison. McVeigh claimed he was implanted with a (biotelemetric) microchip during the Gulf WAR. West also interviewed Jack Ruby while Ruby was incarcerated. Ruby was also interviewed by Earl Warren and other psychiatrists. According to an early Ruby attorney, West was the only psychiatrist to find paranoia. The other doctors found "psychological epilepsy," which would have been easier for F. Lee Bailey to use. West sometimes worked with Dr. Margaret Singer She and West studied Korean War vets who were brainwashed by the Chinese. West also headed an APA team that went to Oklahoma City after the bombing.
"Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past." Orwell-- The US is probably moving toward becoming a heavily controlled Rightist state. This blog is an effort to document how that happened.

While not quite as well known as hawker centers such as Gurney Road Hawker Centre, Super Tanker Food Centre in the city of Bayan Lepas in Malaysia's Penang state is making a name for itself in its own special way!
First and foremost, this hawker center is becoming very famous around Penang for its aki pancakes, which are a traditional Chinese pancake stuffed with a wide variety of fillings such as peanuts. In fact, many Penangites (or seasoned Penang travelers) argue that Super Tanker Food Centre offers the best aki pancakes in Penang, period!
In addition to aki pancakes, food stalls selling typical hawker stall delicacies such as chicken fried rice, nasi lemak, fried chicken and duck, Chinese sausages, and much more can be found at this hawker center!
Super Tanker Food Centre is open everyday from 6 am-midnight.

I have worked with Linda for the past 5 years in school districts in Pennsylvania. She was a coach and mentor to me when I was an Educational Consultant for classrooms using ABA therapy for children with autism. Linda was especially helpful in working with children displaying challenging self- injurious behavior as well as self- stimulatory, obsessive compulsive behavior that was interfering with the child's educational performance. Linda taught teachers how to organize their classrooms for optimal learning. She also taught them how to assess and design individual therapy goals to meet their educational needs. Linda is a hands on "teacher of teachers," always willing to teach as well as model to make staff feel competent in learning new procedures. Her method of presenting material is systematic and easy to follow. I would highly recommend Linda's trainings or consultation services.Kimberly Bennett M.Ed, BCBA, BSL, LSLP CEO, Journey Center
Linda Franchock was a valuable asset to the Autistic Support Program at the Claysburg-Kimmel Elementary School. As a newly established program, our staff needed assistance on how to use positive reinforcement to shape behaviors. While assisting in the classroom, Linda trained staff on how to collect and interpret behavior data. She taught staff how to collect antecedent behavior consequence (ABC) data and graph the results. Through her training and coaching, the autistic support team were able to write comprehensive behavior plans to support our students.Brian Helsel Director of Special Services, Pa school district
Mrs. Franchock is a true professional. I consulted with her many different times and the results were always the same; outstanding. One specific time, I was having trouble with a students curriculum. He had maxed out and needed new direction. Mrs. Franchock worked tireless hours to come on with a solution and the student was challenged and thrived! I chose to work with Mrs. Franchock because she is one of the most respected and hard working professionals I have ever worked with, and her work ethic is tireless. She truly cares and is a difference maker. She is always professional developing and growing. I would go to Mrs. Franchock every time I had a question or problem. She is a true professional in every sense of the word and has helped me grow as a teacher and a person. Her knowledge of students with Autism is unparalleled. Simply put, Mrs. Franchck is amazing at what she does.Joshua Zupon, Special Education Teacher Public Education
I have known Linda for many years and have had the pleasure to collaborate with her on projects relating to autism and/or managing challenging behavior. Linda's wealth of experience and knowledge of managing challenging behavior in the classroom whether a child has autism or not has been of benefit to me. I admire her ability to identify target behaviors, functions of behavior and then provide interventions for decreasing those behaviors. To this day I use strategies in my own consultations and trainings that I have learned from her. Linda has always been available and willing to answer my questions and provide guidance for specific situations. It is due to Linda's guidance and training that I feel confident when asked to provide consultation services to educators who need support with managing challenging behaviors of students. I would not hesitate to contact Linda for support and/or consultation as she employs best effective practices for increasing student success.Cherie Neely, M.Ed. Educational Consultant (supporting autism, inclusive practices and Traumatic Brain Injury)
Linda is a very professional consultant & trainer with an excellent understanding of applied behavior analysis and how to effectively apply this science in order bring about positive growth in children who have special learning needs, their families & the professionals who support them. It is always my pleasure to have the opportunity to collaborate with this talented colleague.Cynthia L. Swank, M.Ed., BCBA, LBS, Director/Owner Swank Early Skills Development
Linda provided consultative support and guidance to 3 professional teams serving students with Autism and a variety of other diagnoses in a classroom setting. She was an invaluable resource in directing our application of verbal behavior strategies to promote learning and generalization of skills. Linda's experience and knowledge base were critical in teaching both students and adults to promote compliance and optimize learning. She fluently adapted presentation of materials to meet the needs of staff on multiple levels. Linda provided constructive advice on everything from organizing the classroom, to setting up protocols for training and implementing learning programs, to cultivating functional skills and communication. She effectively supported staff in collecting and analyzing data to make evidence-based decisions for student programming, and intuitively customized student programs to meet their individual instructional needs.
Linda possesses the expertise, professionalism, and interpersonal skills required to successfully support students, families, and professionals in the application of researched-based programs to promote successful learning. I highly recommend her services.Sonia VanHorn Occupational Therapist and Internal Coach supporting students with autism

May 2015 Member Spotlight - Juan Cabrera
Juan Cabrera,
El Paso Independent School District
El Paso, TX
Career Highlights & Education:I am a native Texan and Spanish speaker and come from a long line of educators. I graduated from Texas A & I University in 1988 with a Bachelors of Business Administration and obtained my law degree from the University Of Texas School of Law in 1996. I also completed programs at the London School of Business and the Harvard Negotiation Project. Additionally, I participated in the first ALAS Superintendents Leadership Academy, which seeks to prepare experienced leaders to successfully run urban public education systems especially in minority serving school systems.
I serve on the state boards of the Texas Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents, Minority Males Consortium and the Texas High Performance Schools Consortium. I am also on the Executive Committee of the Council of the Great City Schools.
What I like best about my job: Working with individuals who are passionate abut making a difference in the lives of others. I have worked in the private sector and greatly enjoyed the fast pace and challenge, but ultimately, I chose to return to a school system where I could share my passion for improving lives and creating opportunities with like-minded colleagues.
The best advice I've ever received is: Find your passion and your job will not feel like work!
Advice you would give a new superintendent or school system leader: Take your time in your transition to understand your community and its culture because no two are alike.
If I ever snuck out of work early, I could probably be found: Reading or golfing or anything that takes my mind off work.
People would be surprised to know that: I lived in Europe for 5 years working as an international software attorney.
One thing I wish more people knew about ALAS is: It is an amazing networking organization. I have met many of my professional friends and colleagues through ALAS.

Daylight hours shortening, the evening to morning temperatures drop a bit as leaves begin to change colors…autumn is close.
For many many years, every fall, gardeners have cleaned and put away their tools in the garden shed saying goodbye to the growing and harvesting seasons. Now, with much more interest in gardening and growing produce over the last two decades, this is no longer the case. Now, the season often extends to the first hard frost of early winter.
The growing season in the garden can easily continue…all decked out in fall color glory. That is if you have planned ahead to include annual and perennial autumn blooms, foliage and some cool season vegetables. I know, I say the same thing every year…so take this as just another reminder.
See what you could have blooming in your garden NOW, if you planned ahead…this is Sweet Autumn Clematis and the fragrance is delightful…Such a welcome part of the fall garden. This easily grown vine, once planted, takes off quickly and grows rapidly to the top of a structure in one season. Most importantly, part of the care and maintenance of this vine is to cut it back to about 1/3 of growth every early spring. I like to include this vine in all my landscape designs, especially growing on an arbor or wall trellis. Some other perennial plants to include in your garden for fall blooms: Autumn Joy sedum, blue mist shrub, New England asters, hardy blue plumbago, pineapple sage, pomegranates and sunflowers…Annuals at this time of year are many colors of mums, snapdragons, dianthus, violas and pansies.
Francais au coeur…the very first time I drove through the countryside and hills of Provence, I thought and felt that I was finally home, in my heart. Now, after 12 years living here in my home in the woods, the view from my back porch is something that always gives me that same feeling of peace, contentment and welcome quiet. I take great comfort in knowing that I have created all this from "scratch" and all built with hard work and a great deal of love.
Radiant late afternoon sun on the back garden focus on the masses of Black-eyed Susans and phlox…the butterfly bushes are white so their color doesn't show very well in the bright sun….also, there are several purple and pink butterfly bushes just out of the photo. To the right is a vitex that is now blooming purple. A garden whether rustic or refined depends on the details…it's about relaxed versus perfection, as I always say! Mine is so relaxed it takes care of itself…mostly!
Naturally Serene…When all around us becomes much too busy…it's time to take a moment to listen and hear the leaves rustling in the wind and birds chirping in the trees and at feeders…Coming home, I enjoy the cocoon of quiet, but for the sounds of nature…I never tire of the sounds or the view from my back porch.
Preserve the Tastes of Summer…there is no better way to let the flavors of summer linger than turning a bumper harvest of fruit into jewel-bright jellies and preserves! Let summer's bounty last into winter…enjoy the camaraderie of gathering with a few friends as you work together preserving fruits and friendships along with the fragrance of fresh fruit and spices permeating the kitchen.
Think ahead for Christmas Gifts from the Garden…Aside from gifts of fruit jellies and jams, a special jar of preserved peaches would be welcome on a chilly winter night. Peaches are fresh, ripe and ready to preserve…or, as I like to enjoy…biting into one while the fresh juice runs down my chin. Make Spiced Peaches now to enjoy later…especially nice with ham and venison.
To make Spiced Peaches…You will need 2-3 sterilized jars, I like the kind shown in the above photo with a clamp and rubber seal.
Combine 1 1/2 cups of white wine vinegar, 1 1/2 cups fine golden raw sugar, 1 1/2 cups water, 2 tsp sea salt, 12 or so cloves, 4 bay leaves a LARGE cinnamon stick or 2 …all in a good size cooking pot.
Bring to a boil and let SIMMER for 5 minutes. Add 10-12 "not-too-overly-ripe" peaches, peeled and sliced to the pot and bring to boil again. Let peaches SIMMER for five minutes until soft.
Remove from heat and put peaches and spices, using a ladle, into HOT jars. Press peaches down with back of spoon then pour enough liquid in jars to cover the peaches.
Seal jars and allow to cool completely. Store until ready to serve or give as gifts. Once opened, peaches should be stored in refrigerator. Make sure fruit stays submerged in liquid.
Enjoy the cooling days and nights… til later, Love from Holly and me!

Although Yoga and Pole Dancing may seem like two contradicting ideas, they are actually remarkably similar. Both Yoga and Pole Fitness require a great amount of strength, flexibility and concentration. Many moves performed on the pole are almost exactly the same as popular yoga poses. Training in Yoga can help one gain the strength and flexibility needed in order to perform complicated tricks on the pole.
Yoga Poses That Help with the Upper Body and Core Strength Needed for Pole:
Chaturanga: Plank Pose:
Boat Pose: Crow Pose:
Yoga Poses that Help with the Flexibility Needed for Pole:
Hamstring Flexibility; helps with Choppers, Pole Splits, Allegra, Butterfly, Jade Split and more:
Hanamasana: Reclining Big Toe Pose:

People tend to look at creativity as a natural talent. Some people are creative, some aren't. And there's not a whole lot you can do to gain it if you don't have it.
Creativity is a skill. Anyone can pick it up, anyone can expand it. But you have to be willing to change long established patterns of thought, and that's fucking hard. So most people don't do it.
But it's completely within reach. And creativity, like most skills, gets better and easier the more you use it.
In other words, you get creative by doing creative shit. I know that sounds like the worst kind of circular logic, but hear me out.
When you first start doing creative stuff, it will be hard, especially if you've been away from it for a while. I took years off from doing anything creative (thanks, back-to-back theses). When I finally went back, it was like trying to remember how to do a backflip when you haven't since you were seven. Things that used to be so simple are more complicated because you've lost the habit.
But you can always get it back. Think of it like working out: if you take years off from exercising, then those first couple of months getting back to the rink or the field or the gym are going to be fucking rough. But the only way you can get better is if you keep doing it.
And, like a muscle getting stronger, you creativity will expand. It'll get used to doing the stuff you're asking and look for new challenges.
If I can keep the gym metaphor going for a while, take it easy at the beginning. Make little goals and hit them. Ease back in. It'll help you avoid injury and burnout. If you go all out, you won't tear your ACL like an armchair quarterback rushing back onto the field for the first time since he was 18. But you might hit a roadblock and get so frustrated that you quit again. Like getting back in the game after a lay-off, do some stretches, warm up a little, and then see what you've got in the tank.
One more thing: be willing to look stupid. If you're not, you won't get far. And, in the words of Our Lady of Fabulous, RuPaul, "Your fear of looking stupid is making you look stupid."
Get out there, all you out of shape creatives. Run a few laps of the imagination track and remember, as you're huffing and sweating: it gets easier.

A Romantic Walk on the Pest Side of the DanubeShare Tweet
If you want do something really romantic, if you (and your partner) are into long walks, and if you want to really immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Budapest, walking along the Danube would be a really nice choice.
I like being outdoors – so if I am romantic, I also prefer to do something in the open. It is especially true during the fall and spring when the weather is the best here in Budapest: warm but not sweltering-ly hot. The sky could be amazingly bright and blue especially along the Pest side of the Danube, when the winds keep the air as clean as possible in the middle of a metropolis.
A nice place to start a romantic tour like this would be at the National Theater. The building itself really lacks style however, there is a nice hedge labyrinth, where you can have some fun together. There is a pretty nice garden, and a nice walkway starts here along the Danube. (For me, it would be especially convenient because I live quite near this place.) From a small zigurrat you can have a pretty good view about your forthcoming journey. The promenade goes almost all the way to the Petőfi Bridge. You can find a few nice cafes too along the way.
At the foot of the Petőfi Bridge you can find the terminal station of a railway line. If you change your mind, you can take it and go to Csepel, an island district of Budapest. It is a nice mixture of various socialist architecture. For me, this place holds some really romantic memories: I used to meet with a girl here who I courted for some time; I also had a pinhole portrait shooting here with my girlfriend. You can also have a nice view from here of the Danube and of the Buda side.
Here, the promenade continues through a small park. It is a nice patch of greenery in this district. It has seen better days; you can feel some air of melancholy in the air. With the fragrance of the Danube, it mixes up to a really unique atmosphere, nowhere else to be found in the city.
The last third of the promenade is closed, a pretty nice cultural center was built here, now it cannot be opened due to some bureaucratic debates. I hope the situation will be resolved because now it not only closes out the public from this part of the bank but because the building is a pretty nice piece of architecture in itself. It would be much better to put it into use. For the time being, you should walk around the compound to reach the Szabadság (Liberty) Bridge.
Here you should walk along the streets close to the Danube: at the foot of the next bridge, the Erzsébet (Elisabeth) Bridge, there is a really nice park where you can have some rest if you wish. The renovation of this park was finished only a few years ago, now it is an excellent resting place for everyone in the inner districts.
After the Erzsébet Bridge starts the most authentically and traditionally romantic place of Budapest: the Corso. It is frequently mentioned in the early 20th century as a place to have a rendezvous between lovers. It is a beautifully kept promenade, on one side is the Danube and on the other side are hotels, restaurant, and the old building of the casino for the Officers of the Royal Army (now it is a place for conferences and cultural events). The Corso is in the oldest parts of the city, on the other side of the Danube, you can see the Castle – the old-town district on the Buda side. You can walk all the way to the oldest permanent bridge in Budapest, the Chain Bridge.
From the Chain Bridge, you can walk on a graveled trail. Here you can get real close to the river: there are many stairs going right down to the river. There are also benches where you can sit with your partner – either way, you can have an excellent view of the city.
After a while, you'll arrive on a cobblestone road, which eventually ends in a gigantic row of stairs. As you walk next to the house of Parliament, you can see the Margaret Bridge and island – another gorgeously romantic place to visit.

Stands for Immersive Projection Technology, refers to the general class of devices of which the CAVE is part of. The reason that the name CAVE was not universally adopted is that VRCO (makers of CAVELib) own a trademark to the name CAVE. An IPT device generally consists of one or more large projection screens on which stereoscopic images are projected. Because a significant portion of the users field of view is encompassed by the projection screens an IPT device can create an illusion of immersion for the user.

Reading through Beautiful Teams ( review coming soon ), one of the contributors had a story about engineers building arches and how in ancient times the builder stood underneath the arch as the support was removed.
Trying to find more on this, I found a quote that seemed to be quite well known
"The ancient Romans had a tradition: whenever one of their engineers constructed an arch, as the capstone was hoisted into place, the engineer assumed accountability for his work in the most profound way possible: he stood under the arch."
- Michael Armstrong of AT&T
I also found that I'm in esteemed company at using this quote in a blog as even Grady Booch has used it...
My searches for more background also turned up the Code of Hammurabi from 1700 BC
Law 229: If a builder has built a house for a man, and has not made his work sound, and the house he built has fallen, and caused the death of its owner, that builder shall be put to death.
Law 232: If he has caused the loss of goods, he shall render back whatever he has destroyed. Moreover, because he did not make sound the house he built, and it fell, at his own cost he shall rebuild the house that fell.
Law 235: If a boatman has built a boat for a man, and has not made his work sound, and in that same year that boat is sent on a voyage and suffers damage, the boatman shall rebuild that boat, and, at his own expense, shall make it strong, or shall give a strong boat to the owner.
I'm sure QA Hates You would still like these laws to apply...

Hi Phil,
nice article and a valuable lesson.
Everybody should be honest and straight enough to commit to the consequences of his conscious actions or sayings.
I find, it relates quite well to the (unconscious?) gut feeling a lot of testers had in the "Beam me up" Challenge from Teste Testy.
In her summary the "gauge the confidence of the engineer" showed up as first entry.

Two buses, one extra loop
There are 2 buses that go from Tsawwassen Ferry to Bridgeport. They both leave Tsawwassen Ferry at an interval of 3 - 5 minutes.
Both of them make a loop of 700 m / 5 min. Very few passengers get off or get on at the bus loop stop (two or three, sometimes no-one).
Usually this is the type of bus, a New Flyer.
I could not find the fuel consumption on www.newflyer.com and they don't have a contact email address. However, I found this graph so I'll use the consumption for a 'Transit Bus'.
Let's approximate to 4 miles per gallon; in the good metric system - that the U.S. should use it also - this is 6.44 km / 3.78 l which means around 59 l/100 km, no wonder I could not find this information on the New Flyer website. The fuel consumption is high but after all it is a bus, and I am sure the consumption is much higher for an articulated bus, so let's go for a round conservative figure of 60 l / 100 km.
The bus would consume 0.42 l for 700 m, and for the argument's sake let's consider it is 0.5 l.
Last time I saw the gas price at $1.21 per litre, but I assume the transit operator has some discount so they could pay $1 per litre.
10 buses per day that make this extra loop means 5 l of extra gas per day that is 1,825 l per year.
At the current price and with some rounding up to come with a nice number this would be $2,000, and again I think the consumption is higher than what I used as summer/winter more often than not buses use the air conditioning/heating.
Money and time are wasted not to mention the additional pollution and the solution is so simple, only one bus should do the loop.
Translink's answer:
Thank you for your recent feedback regarding making one of the 620 routes as an express bus and omitting Ladner Exchange. We will register you concerns about that route with the Planning & Scheduling Department.
Thank you, again, for your suggestion.
This was some 8 months ago and nothing has changed.
Excerpt from Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs Biography:
One day Jobs came into the cubicle of Larry Kenyon, an engineer who was working on the Macintosh operating system, and complained that it was taking too long to boot up. Kenyon started to explain, but Jobs cut him off. "If it could save a person's life, would you find a way to shave ten seconds off the boot time?" he asked. Kenyon allowed that he probably could. Jobs went to a whiteboard and showed that if there were five million people using the Mac, and it took ten seconds extra to turn it on every day, that added up to three hundred million or so hours per year that people would save, which was the equivalent of at least one hundred lifetimes saved per year. "Larry was suitably impressed, and a few weeks later he came back and it booted up twenty-eight seconds faster," Atkinson recalled. "Steve had a way of motivating by looking at the bigger picture."
In fact it is 489 lifetimes and something if considering the average life expectancy of 70 years.
The time people would save if one bus omitted a loop would be much less than the equivalent of a lifetime saved per year, but still.

Fire drives seven families from homes
By STACEY DANZUSO / Staff Writer, Chambersburg
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - Seven families were displaced from their homes by a fire that raced through a South Second Street apartment building Monday morning.
One firefighter was treated for a hand injury sustained battling the blaze at 280 and 282 S. Second St.
The fire, which was called in at around 9:40 a.m., originated in a first-floor kitchen, according to fire officials.
Jackie Dawson said her son was the first to smell smoke. Lawrence, 18, had stayed home sick from Chambersburg Area Senior High School Monday, and he noticed smoke in the kitchen of their second-floor apartment.
Dawson said she at first thought it was a neighbor burning food, and she called her daughter, who lives in the apartment below.
"Smoke was coming out of the walls and the vents, and in a matter of seconds it was really bad," said Ebony Marks, Dawson's daughter.


text: I decided to start a thread for good news because all of us have a lot on our plate and we talk so much about our problem children/child. I'll see if anyone is in the mood to keep a good news thread going. In our lives here in Wisconsin: 1/Julie and the baby are adorable and doing well. 2/Jumper really threw herself into college life and is finally coming home this weekend. She already knows everyone in her dorm, of course! She is keeping up her grades too, which is huge. Criminal Justice is still her goal. 3/Sonic is being considered for an award for "Outstanding Achievement." In what? He doesn't remember and I don't know yet...lol. He tends to hear a few words, get excited, then tune out the rest! Probably just for his progress and his wonderful nature that draws everyone to him and his good work ethic. But we shall see. He is going to be hosted at a fancy hotel dinner and can bring one guest. Guess who that will be? Hubby and I are doing well. Love the apartment we live in. I am really liking my job. Our life is still harmonious and good, but busy! Kids moving out doesn't mean no kids! Any good news?

This week marks the end of my 1st month attending culinary school which, after weeks-on-end, feels more like my 1st year. My initial intention when I started school was to constantly update my progress and development on this blog. However with every free time I get, I find myself trying to catch whatever sleep and rest I can get. I never realised I can still function and survive with minimal sleep and never-ending dreams of chopping and dicing! I would arrive home after my husband and leave for school when he's still asleep (thank god for the reversal of daylight saving, else I'd still be walking to the bus stop alone in the dark early in the morning braced with only my hot Thermos of coffee). The school schedule, though extremely hectic, has been nothing short of a constant push to help find the balance between passion and determination and bring out the culinary finesse in each student. With each push and every little success, I can feel the confidence of myself and my peers slowly growing and our skills strengthening. With our hands and fingers torched, burnt, scalded and sliced, most of us are coming to terms with the fact that we will never have the flawless and unmarked hands we once had. It's almost hard to believe that it was only 4 weeks ago we had learnt new things which would have previously taken us forever to do but are now second nature to us (i.e. preparation of mire poix, cartush, bouquet garni, walking around yelling 'hot pot' and yelling 'Yes Chef' while trying hard not to cut another fingernail etc.).
After my previous post, I had received many queries on the program and school and I hope I have addressed them as accurate and as prompt as possible. For those who are still curious and would like to know more about the program I am attending, allow me to briefly explain.
The school's culinary studies is divided into two parts, culinary and patisserie. Both studies are spread across 3 semesters (basic, intermediate and superior). Each semester lasts up to 3 months. Students can choose to study either culinary or patisserie (or both) and the semester they would like to start. The entire course for both culinary and patisserie from basic to superior is called Le Grand Diplome and the duration for this program is 9 months. This is the program I am currently on and if everything goes well, I will graduate as a Chef at the end of June of 2013, Insya'Allah (where I will swap my Popeye-looking hat with a tall Chef hat, which will hopefully make me look taller).
Fire drill in front of British Museum. I had my popeye-looking hat on as it was drizzling.
Lessons are conducted from Monday to Friday and the occasional Saturday. A typical daily schedule would have a minimum of 2 sessions (1 session = 3 hours) and maximum of 3 sessions (9 hours). But if you're unlucky (as I have experienced), you may get a long block of break in between sessions and may end up being in school up to 12 hours! Everyday, a 3-hr demo session is held followed by a 3-hr practical session where students are expected to recreate the dishes shown during the demo. At the end of each demo, students are allowed to take photos of and taste the food prepared by the chef.
For students who have religious concerns regarding handling of certain food items (i.e. non-kosher, non-halal, etc), they are free to omit the ingredient during practical and are not expected to taste the food prepared by the chef during the demo. The chefs have also informed us that the wine that is used in cooking in the school is free from any alcohol content but however, some store-bought sauces (i.e. Tabasco sauce, certain vinegars) do have a certain level of alcohol content. For those who would like to proceed with handling food items which are not in-line with their religious believes, they can do so by wearing rubber gloves provided by the school.
As I'm looking back at my old notes from the beginning of the semester (merely 4 weeks ago), I can't help but to marvel at the development of my note-taking skills. What started of as elaborate description of methodology and descriptions has evolved and shortened to something that is vaguely similar to a chemical reaction equation!
Another skill set I recently developed is how to quickly drawing diagrams and pictures of step-by-step procedure demonstrated by the chefs which can of course be understood only by me. Finally I can doodle with a purpose!
I must admit, though it may seem fun and exciting to many (and I'm not saying it isn't), the course has proven to be very challenging and is so much more than what I had imagined. However, what makes it manageable and interesting is the group of friends that I have and chefs who provide the necessary support and guidance. I have made some truly incredible friends, some of whom are juggling other responsibilities and yet committing 100% effort to the course without jeopardising their other roles. These friends are truly inspiring! We often exchange stories and tips from other lessons and ways on how we can improve to be better chefs.We also agree that although at times this course can be a little stressful, it is worth every single moment because we're doing something that we're passionate about (which is of course different when it comes to being stressful over things that one is not passionate about which inevitably leads to unhappiness, I'm sure we can all relate to this). After a month of pursuing this course, I feel liberated, happy (and tired) and I find myself talking endlessly about school and my friends to my husband (I swear at one point I even went "I love school! I love school!"). My husband believes that I may have found my calling in life (something not many can say) but I think I have found the courage to pursue my calling in life.
Do I still feel the fear that I used to feel prior to doing the course, I can't say that I don't. But I can say that those fears are slowly being taken over by my self-believe and faith, both of which I am very thankful to Him for.
Lunch with some of my friends from school.
Till my next entry,
