USB drive(redirected from Jump drive)
Also found in: Dictionary, Wikipedia.
USB drive(1) An external hard disk drive or optical disc drive that plugs into the USB port. See portable hard drive.
(2) A solid state storage module that plugs into the computer's USB port. Using flash memory chips that hold up to one terabyte of data, the solid state USB drive emulates a hard disk. USB drives are extremely popular for backup as well as data transfer from one machine to another. They can also hold an operating system and be used to boot the computer (see bootable disk). Their ever-increasing storage capacities have mostly obsoleted writable CDs and DVDs. See sneakernet.
Known By Many Names
Debuting at the turn of the century, a USB drive is also called a "flash drive" as well as many other monikers. Any combination of the words "USB," "flash," "key," "drive," "jump" and "stick" are used (see USB drive names).
Transfer Speed
USB drive vendors use the data transfer ratings of CD-ROMs, where each "x" equals 150KB per second. For example, a 90x drive is 13.5MB/sec (90 x 150). See CD-ROM drives and solid state.
|Long-Term Marketing Mileage
|Vendors give away custom-printed USB drives preloaded with promotional material, because people keep using them for other purposes.
|No Bigger Than the Plug
|In 2010, Verbatim launched its Tuff-"N"-Tiny line, only two millimeters thick. Although the contacts are exposed (top left), the units are water and dust proof.
|Steampunk Drives
|A 19th century USB drive... of course. These drive cases are hand crafted. See steampunk. (Image courtesy of WillRockwell, www.etsy.com/shop/WillRockwell)
|Fun and to the Point
|Bevy makes personal photo cloud devices to hold a user's multimedia collection and this rather appropriate USB drive holds Bevy's promotional material.
|One Terabyte
|In 2013, Kingston Technology introduced the first terabyte USB drive. Imagine telling someone in 1993, when floppy disks were widely used, that in 20 years, a lightweight, handheld device would hold the equivalent of 650,000 floppies. By 2017, 2TB drives were introduced.

When Harry Reid announced a new Senate Democratic leadership role for Elizabeth Warren, he was asked what he expected her to do. His response: "I expect her to be Elizabeth Warren." And now she is. A day after meeting with Walmart workers and vowing to fight for them, she decimated the new head of Federal Housing Finance Agency at a hearing for failing to help a single family - out of 5.3 million homeowners facing foreclosure - by using principal reduction relief programs required by law, and proven by numerous studies to be a win-win for both families and mortgage holders. Mel Watt stammered and mumbled that "it has been a very difficult issue" and "we have to do this in a way that is responsible." Warren minced no words and ripped him a new one. The night after the hearing, in her first major speech in her new role, Warren went on to blast GOP so-called trickle-down economics for having "failed spectacularly." This is a leader. The woman below the video, not so much.
"It has been six years since Congress created FHFA and in all of that time, your agency has never, not once, permitted a family to reduce its principal mortgage through Fannie or Freddie. I've asked about this repeatedly and you said you'd look into allowing Fannie and Freddie to engage in principal reduction, you said it again today...You've been in office for nearly a year now (and) I want to know why this has not been a priority for you...Every day that you delay, more families lose their homes. I want to know - when are you going to have an answer on this?"

TL;DR: Low memory triggers a Blood Moon to mask garbage collection? Help test the theory: Warp to stables and villages, pick up items that always spawn in the same place, then throw and break them. Post your results here.
I suspect the trigger for a Blood Moon is simply the game running low on memory. More precisely, if it starts running sort of low on memory, the next night is forced to be a Blood Moon. If it runs really low on memory before nightfall, it just forces the Blood Moon on the spot.
Why? First, consider what happens during a Blood Moon: The state of all the minor things in the world resets. Enemies you've defeated respawn, but it's more than that. For example, some items are fixed spawns, e.g. the baked apple at the beginning of the game, the Sunshroom behind Hateno Research Lab, various pot lids and Iron Sledgehammers, etc. and if you pick them up, they all reappear after a Blood Moon. These are all things the game can forget you've done after a Blood Moon, freeing up memory.
Second, people have reported that killing a crapload of enemies usually triggers a Blood Moon. There are way so many enemies across the whole map that it would be silly for the programmers to keep track of every single one with a flag in memory, so the game probably just keeps a list of enemies you've defeated. Then whenever you approach an enemy's spawn point, it checks against the list and only spawns the enemy if it's not on there. Same for the fixed spawn items, they go on the do-not-spawn list when you pick them up. So every enemy killed and every fixed spawn item picked up grows the list and takes up more memory.
Third, this would explain the glitch where you get more frequent Blood Moons the longer you play without fully closing the game. There's a memory leak somewhere gradually eating up memory, leaving less room for the do-not-spawn list to grow.
It would also explain why there's a fixed cutscene that you can only skip after a couple seconds. The game is buying time for its garbage collection routine to go through memory and delete everything it can forget.
There's a way to test this theory: Warp to various stables and villages, pick up all the pot lids, tree branches, sledgehammers, and whatnot you can find, then throw and break them. Then see if you get a Blood Moon soon after, and post here with your results. If it consistently happens for everyone regardless of your console or how far you are in the game, that would lend some credibility to this theory, and it'll be useful to know in case you really want to force a Blood Moon. If not, well, myth busted, and I'm more than happy to be proven wrong through empirical evidence.

FUCKING HELL. Absolutely excruciating. "Hi, my name's Owen and my band's called Casiotone for the Painfully Alone." No it's not! You don't have a band! You're just singing over pre-recorded music! The first of the two support bands were fucking awful, so I was looking forward to Casiotone, even though I don't like them that much, but the whole evening just got worse and worse and worse.
im thinking of going to see him just for the supports
will he piss me off?
In his defence, he said before he started that he had the flu, but frankly, it was insulting to be asked to pay just to see him mumbling as he moved his CDs from one track on to the next.
Hello :)
I went to a bar in Derry to see Thomas Truax. By myself because all my friends are scared of music they haven't heard. I had a few drinks and watched the actually rather good support acts, then watched Mr Truax entertain us. I chatted a wee bit to Mr Truax, drove to Tescos for midnight brownie buying, and came home. I plumped myself on teh chair and arsed about on the internet, which brings up til this point in time.
That was my night!
i went
to twee as fuck, which was good but BOTH my mates pulled so i fucked off home early..
i made friends on the bus with someone who had slept with some bird who lived in my exact room in halls last year.

Arizona State University eliminated 3 men's athletic teams on May 13 — wrestling, swimming and tennis. These are the first cuts since 1993 when ASU dropped men's gymnastics, archery and badminton. As many as 70 male athletes lost their opportunity to play collegiate sports and 6 full-time coaching positions were eliminated.
Men's varsity sports make up 40% of ASU's athletic programs. Those still being funded are:
- Baseball, basketball, cross country, diving, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field
Varsity women's teams make up 60% of ASU's athletic programs. Those still being funded are:
- basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, volleyball, and water polo
ASU added women's soccer in 1996 and women's water polo in 2002 to comply with Title IX. But ASU couldn't afford to sponsor 22 athletic teams and cut the men's programs to keep pace with the escalating size and costs of the department. To bring the teams back, ASU said to it would cost $5 million to fully endow men's tennis, $5 million for men's swimming and $8 million for men's wrestling.
ASU has a rich history of accomplishments in these eliminated sports. In 1988 ASU won the NCAA National Championship and Zeke Jones (Olympics '92) and Townsend Saunders (Olympics '92 and '96) won silver medals for the USA.

Richardson out, Kerry and Johnson endorse Obama
Bill Richardson - one of the most experienced candidates in the Democratic primary - has announced he's dropping out of the race. No indication if or who he will endorse for the nomination. Edwards said nice things about him, probably hoping it will be him:
He was a very good candidate, a serious candidate ... I congratulate him. He ought to be proud of what he's done.
No sign Edwards is planning drop out, though. He's in it for the "long haul."
In other election news Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) has endorsed Obama for president, saying he can "bridge the differences" between the parties. And in what can only be considered a blow to the Edwards campaign, John Kerry - his running mate from 2004 - has announced he will endorse Obama as well.
With Johnson and Kerry stepping into the ring, other Senators are bound to follow soon. And maybe we'll see an endorsement from Al Gore soon?

How Scientific is Sociology
Sociology is one of the social sciences, which are concerned with the study of human thought and behavior and human social institutions. The social science share the common stance that human social behavior can be studied scientifically. social scientist believe that certain patterns and regularities in human behavior enable them to predict and explain human behavior validly and reliably. The question here is: can human behavior be studied scientifically? the answer is yes, though very many will argue to the contrary. The fact is that observations will enable us identify the regularities in patterns of human social behavior. Drivers rely on the predictability of other drivers to obey traffic laws. Student and lecturers in their interactions have predictable relationships of status and role. Religious services, football matches, marriage ceremonies, dinner parties e.t.c. a reasonable amount of experience will enable one have a very good idea of how to behave or how interaction and activities will go.
An ingredient of scientific knowledge is the reliability of such knowledge. Sociology is a relatively new discipline when compared with physics and chemistry. Sociology do not use telescope, microscope, test tubes and beakers, when they study human behavior. However each science must develop its own techniques as each considers different subject matters. Sociology has developed its own techniques which include planned experiments, sample surveys, case studies and observation. Each of these techniques follow the laid down procedures of scientific enquiry. Beyond such obvious cases of predictable behavior it is obvious that individual human behavior is influence by complex social situations unlike in the physical sciences. On this premise it becomes very difficult to make precise statements about individual or group behavior.
However through careful and systematic measurement, sociologist can and do predict human social behavior, though the rate of error may be significant in particular situations. There is also the problems of change over time and place occasioning cultural differences. This creates the problem of generalization of knowledge. The knowledge acquired by physical scientist are applicable at all times and as a result they have established universal laws. Very little of the social scientists knowledge can be applied so generally since he is dealing not with constant but with variables. It is for this reason that sociology is commonly consider less scientific than the physical sciences.
However the point is already made that this handicap is due to the variable nature of human behavior which is the subject matter of sociology. The sociological approach to science, can be likened to the meteorologist scientific prediction of whether though there may not be an accurate prediction of what will happen at a particular spot, but they are far too accurate on predictions over a larger area of land. Thus one can conclude by stating that sociologist can predict the behavior of groups of people with a high degree of accuracy, although individual behavior is often unpredictable. Even with this handicap, research has shown that high level of generalization still obtain in sociology within some margin of error bearing in mind situational and individual differences.

Blu-Ray Disc Media Is The following Technology In Optical Disk TechnologyMedia engineering, specifically in the home entertainment segment, has grown by leaps and bounds, from vinyl records, video and audio cassettes, CDs and DVDs and now the latest entrant is Blu-ray media. Blu-ray is the new generation disk technologies and it outstrips the previous DVDs by leaps and bounds with regards to memory capability, video clip top quality and pace. Blu-ray media engineering entered the markets a few years back and instantly grabbed everybody's interest due to its ability to shop videos in HD structure and enormous memory potential. It would make viewing videos at your house an completely new working experience with wonderful online video excellent and seem. The marketplace has exploded with Blu-ray and it truly is getting into Virtually all elements of the market. Computers and laptops are come preloaded with Blu-ray disc audience and writers, Blu-ray disc gamers and residential theatre techniques, gaming consoles that use Blu-ray discs, blank Blu-ray discs for storage along with other functions; in short Blu-ray is all set to be the subsequent massive point in media engineering.
The Exact Science of Blu-ray
Ever considering the fact that the event of High definition media, there had been no disc technologies like the CD or DVD which could consist of the extensive measurements and codecs of Higher Definition videos. Shuji Nakamura, the inventor of Blu-ray, found out that through the use of a laser of shorter wavelength to burn up within the storage into the disc a person could make increased capability in the disc. So in lieu of utilizing the crimson laser used by DVDs, they made use of blue laser over a disk, consequently the name Blu-ray.
The storage potential of the Blu-ray disk is its strongest additionally stage. A traditional DVD incorporates a storage capability of 4.five GB plus a dual layer DVD has nine GB of storage. The High definition-DVD, the erstwhile rival towards the Blu-ray disk, experienced a ability of 15GB and the dual layer HD-DVD experienced a capability of 30GB. The Blu-ray disk trumps all these capacities as just one standard Blu-ray disk has 25 GB of potential plus a dual layer Blu-ray disk has 50GB of potential. Which means a Blu-ray disk can capture an entire High definition 1080p resolution image so it may possibly Enjoy complete High definition video clips. Its resolution of 1920 X 1080 can also be bigger as opposed to 768 X 480 resolution of a typical DVD.
One other in addition stage of your Blu-ray is its signal speed mozaici or bandwidth. The Blu-ray disk can develop indicators of nearly 36Mbps when compared to 1.32Mbps for a traditional DVD.
A different excellent feature ingrained from the Blu-ray media players makes certain that your previous DVDs never turn into redundant. These players upscale the movie high quality of your DVD after they play them by changing a DVD's resolution to a higher stage needed for HDTV. This doesn't change the resolution but increases the picture high-quality.
The positives of Blu-ray engineering clearly show us that it is a transparent winner and can improve property entertainment for the higher. Blu-ray is the next neatest thing and is the technological innovation for the next era. It is only a issue of your time just before it penetrates the industry after which prior to deciding to realize it, It will probably be in Everyone's domestic.

The Koi and the Crane (version 2.1)
2 comments:
Hi Vikki,ReplyDelete
So - as we discussed, I think you've nailed the mood and the aesthetic and the sensuality - well done! I think you need to really look at your transitioning between the scenes; there's a slight 'stickiness' in some of your transitions - not smooth or purposeful enough. For example, avoid cross-dissolves; use an accent in the music to synch with a hard edit between two shots - get it right, and edit will appear smooth and natural. In other scenes, you use physical 'wipes' - the lilypad, for example - and that's nice - but you need to keep the flow nice and constant, without leaving us looking too long at empty scenes, or waiting for something to end/begin.
I'd keep your text elements off that lovely water-lily render at the end; seems a real shame to clutter it with type; let your film finish, the mood die away, and then keep your credits nice and simple.
As discussed, I think you need to consider expanding on some of your lovely set-pieces; I suggest you consider ways to make more of your fish, as I know you've got multiple versions, and I think there are opportunites for some patterns and lovely rhythms here. Likewise, that beautiful 'from below' image of the butterfly just demands some expansion in terms of creating surface pattern and a sort of visual poetry.
I still think your fish could move more fluidly... more painterly. Have you considered adding motion blur or experimenting with ways you can lend further softness to their movements - they're fish, but they're also moving water-colour paintings. I know all of this easier said than done! :)
The least successful element is the butterfly + sun sequence leading to the water; this is clunky in a way your other sequences are not, so I'd look again at the staging of this sequence and think more about exploiting more obviously the natural shape of the butterfly, so perhaps avoiding having the camera looking at it so horizontally.
Musically - really think about using the music to edit to; I reckon there's a closer synch-up there - and watch your sound design; I can hear the 'beginning' and 'end' of your water sound effects; work more fluidly throughout; you're trying to cast a spell, and little glitchy movements, clumsy transitions and one-dimensional sound design will pop people out of your very lovely world. Onwards! :)
Thank you Phil :D onwards :)ReplyDelete

The tremendous growth of Spark from its early days in the AMPLab to its current industry-driving instantiation as Apache Spark has made it difficult to keep up with all of the Spark-related activities going on around the world. Certainly we've not been able to keep up with all of these activities on the AMPLab Web Site.
Databricks, the AMPLab spin out that is leading the development of Apache Spark these days announced the creation of a community hub for Apache Spark called SparkHub. SparkHub leverages the Spark "crowd" to collect and curate Spark-related information about events, training, publications, software packages etc. in order to keep up with all the activity. We'll do our best to post the most relevant items on the AMPLab website, but are relieved that someone else has taken on this task fulltime, allowing us to focus on the latest and greatest research results coming out of the lab (which we will crosspost to SparkHub when appropriate).

Road respect is a two-way street
To the editor:
Ed Canfield (Jan. 27) makes some very good points that are from the cyclist's viewpoint; however, there are those cyclists who take every advantage of the automobile traffic and promote the "alone on the road" attitude shown by some drivers.
Both the novice and professional cyclist — those in cycling attire and a bicycle that costs more than I bring home in a week — run through red lights and stop signs as if they weren't there.
They pass stopped traffic on the right and left or change lanes into opposing traffic. They carry cargo on their mopeds that overhang the vehicle by feet, not just inches, or have more passengers than the bicycle/moped is designed for.
I have no problem sharing the road, but when a bicycle/moped is in the middle of the lane trying to negotiate a hill with traffic backed up for several vehicles because they cannot maintain speed and will not go to the shoulder — now I have a problem.
Respect for the road is earned by each and every one who uses it. It is lack of this respect that promote the ill feelings that you describe. Yes we do need to slow down a bit, but both sides of the coin need to slow down and respect the right of each other to be on the road.

Williamsport records aren't up to date
To the editor:
Having read The Herald-Mail sports section in mid-November, I was surprised to read of a new rushing and scoring leader at Williamsport High School again. If this were to be true I would be very happy for this young athlete and I'd want to congratulate him on this accomplishment.
Following many years of high school football through the sports pages, I have watched the highs and lows of Williamsport football. A few years back I read of Neil Forsythe being the new leader with 1,750 yards rushing and 62 points scored, as with this past season Reggie Russ with 1,947 yards rushing and 128 points scored in three years. Great job guys.
However, being a 1978 graduate of Williamsport High School and a former player, I am amazed at the turnover rate and poor record keeping of the previous coaches.
Having spoken with the latest coach and athletic director I have come to find out that there are no records prior to 1990 and that everything was up to date and that it was going to be looked into.
Apparently the records start with each new coach and are tossed with the arrival of another coach. This is more than a coaching problem and it deserves to be corrected for all the former athletes at this school in the football program and any other sports program at WHS that had poor record keeping. I am sure that The Herald-Mail archives has documentation on all missing stats.
Remembering the Wildcat football team of 1977 was easy for me. This team won the Bi-State League title, County Title, and defeated Smithsburg for the first time ever at home. We had an 8-2 season, one of only two in school history and that hasn't been repeated since.
Some of my teammates that I am sure should be in those lost records include Jim Harrell, Darryl Powel, Todd Baer, Paul French, Mike Miller and Dave Shank to name a few — but in my opinion the whole team needs to be recognized and not forgotten.
In closing I would like to state that the real rushing record at Williamsport High School is 2,207 yards rushing and 177 points scored in two seasons. I guess if records were kept to be broken, then keep all the correct records for future athletes to chase after.
Respectfully, No. 33.
Charles H. Haislip Jr.

In the below video you will hear two short excerpts from a filmed TED presentation (Feb 2010) by none other than Bill "Microsoft" Gates.
At the heart of Gates' address lies the central Global Warming dogma (climate gate), which dictates that Co2 emitted by human beings are the primary culprit for the unwanted heating of the globe. Since this artificial alleged human-induced heating effect "ALLEGEDLY" stands to devastate the planet if left unabated, Global Warming propagandist proponents therefore argue that human Co2 emissions must be drastically reduced. As Gates casually addresses the issue, he goes on to state that one way to accomplish this goal is to reduce the global human population.
He postulates the central equation, giving an estimation of the humanly emitted C02 load per year, to be:
Co2 = P times S times E times C
Where P stands for the population number, S the average number of services per person, E the average amount of energy units per service, and C the average Co2 emitted load per unit of service, per year; Co2 stands for the projected total humanly emitted carbon-dioxide load by the entire population per year.
In the first clip you will hear him state in plain language that he considers VACCINES to be desirable to bring down the future population number P and so reduce Co2. You will also casually hear him promoting HEALTH CARE and REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES, to accomplish that same C02 reducing goal.
SEE RELATED: What's Really in Vaccines? Proof of MSG, Formaldehyde, Aluminum and Mercury
Here are Bill Gates' verbatim words [square parentheses additions for clarification purposes are mine though]:
"The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that [number of 9 billion] by perhaps 10 or 15 percent. But there we see an increase of about 1.3 [billion]."
Let's focus on the vaccines. Gates is stating that he considers vaccines to be useful in contributing to bring the projected population growth of 2.2 billion down to 1.3 billion, roughly one billion. What kind of properties can thus reasonably be deduced that vaccines are to have according to Gates?
Well, basically all the properties that impede people to either have children, or successfully rear them. In other words, Gates implicitly advocates the definition of his favorite kind of vaccine to be one that fosters infertility, sterility and (early onset) senility (autism) alike.
Note that Gates does not mention a word on the much touted purported intention of vaccines: to offer protection against relevant diseases and therefore as such, precisely prolong life. Given the abundance of toxins in vaccines (see my blog for some links of simply Google "toxin ingredient vaccine"), the position that vaccines contribute to decrease mortality rates, is kind of hard to maintain.
SEE RELATED: India Holds Bill Gates Accountable For His Vaccine Crimes
So Gates proves to be quite the humanitarian there huh?
In the second excerpt you hear Gates explain what he considers to be the single most important thing that he would choose to see become a reality in the future time span of 50 years.
AGAIN, he CONFIRMS his "love" for the vaccine.

blog. I like it there and she's got some great links too! I got the above "Which Horror Movie Character are You" from
You know - when I first started visiting blogs - I thought to myself "Hey! I can do this. These people just take things that are happening to them, and write about it... I can do that!" And I made a blog. But holy cow. It's a talent to be able to write and be interesting, and keep people intrigued with simply who you are. I just wanted to tell EVERYONE who has a blog - good job. It's not as easy as just typing out a story and going with it. All of the blogs that I've visited and commented on are exceptional.
I think I'll be visiting his as well as Freak's now too..

Hey!! I got my first 'mean' comment today on my blog. Kinda made me mad so I immediately deleted it. Then I got to thinking that maybe that was a knee-jerk reaction on my part. You can take words, and twist them into so many different contexts. The gist of it was (in reference to my boring 'kiss ass' post): "Do you ever get the feeling that nobody cares about your crappy job site".
Well. I guess... yeah. I wasn't too fond of that post anyway. Kinda boring. I agree. So in response to that criticism, I have deleted that post, cause it sucked. BUT!! for your entertainment, I have decided to release yet another video that I've found on my internet surfing adventures:
If you have speakers, I recommend turning them on, the music is necessary, since there's no dialogue.

Is this for real I wonder?
If you can't read it, it says this:
"A woman collapsed in a supermarket when her vibrating panties made her faint with pleasure. The kinky 33-year-old housewife was wearing a pair of battery-operated Passion Pants, bought from a sex shop, while she did her shopping, according to the British tabloid The Sun.
But she got so stimulated by the 6cm vibrating bullet in the panties that she lost consciousness. She fell and hit her head in the crowded supermarket in Swansea, Wales.
When paramedics arrived, they found her black imitation leather knickers still buzzing. They took them off before an ambulance took her to the hospital.
The woman, whose identity has been kept private, suffered no long-lasting ill-effects. And as she left the hospital, a paramedic gave her back the Passion Panties in a plastic bag.
A spokesman for the Asda supermarket chain told The Sun: "We like to think shopping with us is exciting enough already""
Very interesting. Wonder if these things are sold online.... heheheeee

So I'm a freak....
I've got the ODDEST fear.
I'm scared of large sized stuffed animals. I'm positive that they are just waiting for me to be alone, and then they are going to go Chucky on me and attack.
After my first daughter was born, someone gave her a stuffed rabbit. It was really cute. Had on a little dress and everything. Such a happy looking critter. I had no problems with it, until one day I thought the darn thing was looking at me.
Of course, it can't help that it looks like it's looking at me. I mean, it's eyes were permanently fixed in position. But it was creepy. So I moved it into her closet and shut the door. Bad move. Now I couldn't tell if it was getting up and trying to sneak out of the closet. So, to make things difficult for the rabbit. I shut the bedroom door too. ( I moved the baby to OUR bedroom... no freaky stuffed rabbit was gonna get my newborn!). So now, I'm totally screwed - cause IF it got out of the closet, I still couldn't tell and I was running out of doors to shut. My next step was to turn up the television really loud, so that the rabbit would think that I just didn't care. But now I couldn't hear if it was scuffling around building some sort of death machine. Then I started getting all clammy, and short of breath... so I grabbed the baby, my car keys & purse and left. I didn't go home until my husband got home. Checked the closet. Rabbit's where I left it. I know it curled back up in there.
Ridiculous, right?? I made the HUGE... I mean HUGE mistake of telling my husband about my panic attack. He just shook his head at me and told me I was weird. I went about making dinner, and heard a scuffling sound behind me. I turn. It's the rabbit. Peeking around the corner at me. And then there's my husband's head...popping around the corner and making stupid faces at me. Such a nerd.
Anyway. I made him throw the rabbit away. I couldn't take it. But then it's so weird. Some stuffed animals will bother me, but others don't. I have no clue why.
I know that they can't possibly come to life - but when I'm alone in the house, well hell -- anything's possible!! I wish I knew what the deal was! I've always been this way. Isn't that a strange phobia? I tried looking up "stuffed animal phobia" but I can't find a name for it. I did learn that there is, however, a fear for EVERYTHING (except of course, stuffed animals).
So - fess up. Anyone else have a strange fear they'd like to share? Make me feel like I'm not alone in my weirdo-ness??

Nothing new ...
OK OK - so ya'll didn't really care that I have a kiss ass at my work. Sorry I bored ya! BUT! In a way to make amends - I have a new video that I received over e-mail.
I get LOTS of these attachments, and I never know what to do with them... until NOW!! So I thought it would be fun to share some of the really good ones.
The one attached is funny if you think criminals are stupid asses.
Click here to watch '062905stupidrobbers'
You know - I think I know one of the guys on there. I used to hang out with bad sorts when I was younger. I specifically remember dropping off a guy so he could steal a car (but I swear - I had NO idea that's what he was going to do). Another time, I drove someone to make a crack deal. Not something to brag to my kids about. I'll never forget that little incident. Brand new car. Crack dealer with muddy shoes. Me griping at him. Him showing me Uzi. Me shutting my yap double fast... Me kicking crackhead out of my car after they argued about the price of a rock.
The only thing I have to say about that now is my poor kids will never be able to get away with shit - cause I've done a lot and know how to figure it out when they're trying to pull one over on me. Of course - the oldest is only 7 right now - so the worst she's done is lied about why she got a "strike" at school for talking...
Anyway - hope you enjoy the video and I'll try to find some more of the funnier ones!

There but for the grace of God.....
How many of ya'll have kids? If you do - the video link below will be familiar (for some) If you don't, please don't view the link if you are planning on having children someday, it will only scare you away. And lastly - if you have already decided to never have children, this will reinforce your decision!

oh YEAH!!!!!!
For those of you who have followed my blog - I think I found a prototype of what I would like to do. (See my "Should I be offended" entry and "Snubbed Again".
I think getting my boobs fixed like this just might do the trick and make the boob watcher sit up & NOTICE me. Take a look and let me know what ya think!
Oh, and since I don't know how to embed the video in this blog - you'll have to go to the free video hosting site that I used. So - this isn't a virus link. Promise! And I must say thank you to
Daily Dancer
for explaining to me what I should do. He's great!

Snubbed again
I want a boob job.
I ran into John Doe (the Boob Watcher) at work again today. So I started to square my shoulders (all the better to see them my dear), when he WHIRLED around and RAN after another girl who just happens to have big ta-tas!!! And as I watched him catch up to her, his gaze was fastened on her - you guessed it - her boobs. So - I'm really sad, and my husband is about to be sad to, 'cause I heard these boob jobs can cost upward of about $7500... or is that a low figure? I don't know, but I'm about to start pricing!
So now I'm trying to figure out how big do I wanna go? Porn star big or get ya noticed big, or do I need to try to just stick with "perky"...
Well - I just left the keyboard for a second, and asked my husband how much he'd be willing to spend on a boob job. He's watching television and he didn't even blink. He said "$5 bucks". WHAT? "$5 bucks!?" I yelped, "What kind of a boob job can I get for $5 bucks!?"
"$5 bucks'll get you a pair of good socks you can stuff in your bra".
Can you believe he's mad at me cause I threw the remote control at him?

Don't tell ME there's no such thing as ghosts!
I think some people can see/feel ghosts. I think most kids CAN see ghosts, and babies most definitely do. I'm the biggest candy-ass when it comes to staying home alone. I keep thinking I feel a presence behind me. I'll whirl around to check, and there's nothing there. So then the next time I feel the presence, I won't whirl around and I will suddenly hear scuffling sounds. Like someone is walking up behind me on the carpet. Of course, by now - I'm out of the house like a shot, waiting for my husband to get home. But there are a few times that I'm forced to stay IN the house. You know, when I actually have to watch my kids.
So I was home with my two youngest, and my husband was out for the night with his friend from out of town and... wait wait - let me start this classically...
It was a dark and stormy night... LOL
Ok - yeah it was dark and stormy, but I'm at home with my 2 little ones, and hubby is out drinking it up. I was trying to get the baby down and she kept bouncing on my lap and peering over my shoulder and smiling. Seeing how the rocking chair faces the outside window, and nothing else - that was creepy. I looked over my shoulder but there's no one there. Of course, lightning is flickering outside and low rumbles of thunder were reverberating throughout the house. But she's grinning and staring at the window. So I ignore it. She's 8 months old. Anyway. Ethan's video was over so he came grinning into the bedroom, he's always such a happy face. He tiptoed quietly up so as not to disturb the baby, but then his attention is caught by... you guessed it, the window. Only HE can talk. And he freaks me out.
"Mommy, who's that man at the window?"
I feel the blood just pool at my feet and I look out the window again, and typical Hollywood moment occurs, the lightning flashes and thunder just KABOOMS. So - now I've frightened both of my kids with my screams and they ended up sleeping in my room. (not cause they were scared - I was scared!)
But who the HELL was at the window?! Notice he didn't say OUTSIDE the window. He said AT the window. OOOOOO OOOOO I'm getting chills just writing this again! I don't think I'll be staying at home by myself anytime soon. My husband thinks I'm so ridiculous about this, but I'm not doin' it. I'll go shopping or something until he's home. He says our house was built in 1983 - it can't possibly be haunted - but I've been renovating the bathroom and some people will tell you that things get restless when you disturb the house.
I'm still creeped creeped CREEPED out by this!!

Our prayers before we got married
Before I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong One who loves to listen
long, One who thinks before he speaks, One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed, When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door, Massages my back and begs to do
more. Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind, Knows what to answer to "how big is my behind?" I pray that this man will love me to no end, And always be my very best friend.
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns a
liquor store and a bass boat. This doesn't rhyme and I don't give a shit.

I need help
I need help from a person who can come up with a perfect payback to the prank that was played on me today!! It was actually a pretty good prank, but now I long for revenge. The trick that was done was beautiful in its simplicity. All this person did was crumble one or two of those styrofoam peanuts into itty-bitty little pieces. Lint sized really. He then went out to my car and deposited said pieces of styrofoam into my air-conditioner vent, through the slats. So of course, when I started my car, it was like my own personal little parade. I had my favorite music going - full blast because he decided to crank the radio up to its highest volume, and if that wasn't enough (or rather - on hindsight) he had turned the windshield wipers on. Confetti-like particles swirling madly around me, I'm trying frantically to find the knob as Audioslave wailed about being Like a Stone. Yeah - I wish I HAD a stone so I could nail him with it. So now, I've got a black interior in my car. At least it was black. Now it looks like my car has a bad case of dandruff. It's a BITCH to try to vaccuum it up. Static cling from hell!
So - does someone have any ideas I can use for a payback? The only idea I have floating around is getting a piece of limberger (spelling?) cheese and placing it underneath his car seat. (We live in Texas....VERY HOT + stinky cheese + closed car....) But then - I don't want any PERMANENT damage, and if I get him back too bad, I'll just have to pay the piper later.
So - ideas anyone? I could really use it!

Good thing he's too young to read
There are many things in parenthood that I was prepared for.
I was PREPARED to be puked on, pooped on, peed on...
I was PREPARED to have to have to kiss boo-boos, pull gum out of hair, fix countless dinners consisting of chicken nuggets..
See where I'm going with this? There are many many things that fall into the normal scope of parenting. I was prepared for these things! So I was totally unprepared for the following situation.
My husband came walking into the room. "Ethan needs your help". "My help?", I ask "What's wrong!?" I'm envisioning bathroom help, because the last time I saw him, he was headed for the toilet. My husband starts snickering. "He's got gum on his...
" What the fuh...??? "Say that again?" I ask.. Husband: "He's got gum on his boys... and their friend". My husband is no longer snickering, he's laughing, with tears running down his face. So I go to my child's room. He's sitting on the floor looking at his... stuff. And it's full of gum. Oh. My. God. "What happened?" I stupidly ask my son. Of course, I got the standard 3 year old answer... "I don't know!". So now my husband decides to be helpful. He theorizes that Ethan was chewing gum, decided to get rid of it, and tried to put it in the toilet by stuffing it between his legs. "Is that what happened?" I ask my son. "Uh huh!! I was trying to flush it!!" I see. Now I have the unpleasant task of trying to remove the gum. Washcloth will not take it off. It just smears it around. What in the HELL are these people making gum with! I had to PICK the gum off his .. stuff. It took me 30 minutes. And do you know how tedious that was? I had to pick and pick and pick, then if I wasn't careful, the gum that was still on there would stick to more skin and re-adhere in places it hadn't already adhered...I was so unsettled. I was just NOT prepared to have to do something like that... Makes for some interesting memories, does it not?
errrggh. blech. Hey! 3 posts in one day - and I actually have visitors and comments now!! Glad to see you guys, and thanks for the encouragement! I need encouragement after days like this!

It looks like Christine is back up!! Have you guys read her blog!? Highly highly HIGHLY recommend it! It's so great! She just 'poked her head' up, but I'm hoping for new material on John (no - not the John-the-boob-watcher from my work but HER John). Click on the link in my "Blogs I Like to Read" section. I also recommend that you start from Reason 1 of her reasons for hating her husband. I'd put the link in the body of this message but I'm not that skilled yet. I've also had to console myself with a couple of beers right now since my boobs didn't get looked at today and I don't think I'm going to learn anything new tonight.

So should I be offended?
First - let me say that my work employs more than 3000 people. Sort of like a small town. And in the way of all small towns, everyone knows some dirt on most people out there.
And that is my lead-in as to what happened today. For a couple of weeks now, I've been hearing dirt on a guy that will be known as "John Doe". Apparently, John Doe has no people skills. John is extraordinarily smart - but the way that most extraordinarily smart people are, he is lacking common sense. I've heard that John talks to himself, complete with waving his hands around in the air as if arguing with an invisible man, and that John likes to pick his nose & eat it oblivious to whoever may be watching. Another thing that John likes to do is look at breasts. Women will NOT talk to this man because he absolutely refuses to look at their face. He fixates on boobs. This makes it very uncomfortable for women to hold a conversation with him. This seems to be the main dirt on John. I've never personally met the guy. I've worked at my job for 6.5 years, and I've never had the honor of having my boobs ogled. So today, I was running around the site, and who do I run into?? JOHN! Since we were going the same way, he walked with me and kept up a running commentary. Extremely normal. But no boob-watching. I even stuck my chest out to try to get his attention. Nope.
Now - I'm not the biggest person in the world, but I'm not a flatsy patsy either. But according to an impromptu survey I took following this run-in, his not looking at my boobs was NOT NORMAL. I think I should be offended! What's wrong with my boobs that this known boob watcher doesn't want to ogle!? I don't know how to take this! All I know is that I mentioned it to someone at work, that he didn't stare at my boobs, and now it is all over the work site! I am now known as the John Doe Boob-reject!!
Maybe I'll post a picture of myself (with clothes on - yes) and a kind reader can give me ideas on how to entice the boob watcher to check me out!

Over the coming weeks that old beast we call policy will rear its ugly head, as politics watchers prepare for and then comment on the 2012 federal budget. In this budget the government will present the fiscal health of the country and then lay out its plan for tackling the deficit.
A reduction in public spending will be the main focus of the government's plan. The expected scaling down of some government activity was foreshadowed by the Prime Minister this weekend in a letter to his caucus, in which he wrote that Canada's future prosperity will require "tough choices."
The use of the word "choices" interests me. More to the point, it is Mr. Harper's additional comment that the choices to which he was referring would need to be made "together with the Canadian people" which has caught my attention.
To start, the fact that choices need to be made is entirely correct and in keeping with what we should expect of government. Governing is about making choices, and given what is happening in Canada and around the world it is clear that there are a number of policy areas which warrant discussion and decision-making.
My question is where is the discussion?
Some time in the coming weeks you and I will get to see the government's decision. We will get to see what they intend to do (and will safely pass with their majority). What we won't have is a real opportunity to actually consider the choices. And there is no evidence to suggest that any meaningful changes to the budget presented would be accepted by the government.
What we get is, for all intents and purposes, a done deal. There is no choice on offer that can reasonably be described as being one that will be made "together with the Canadian people." Equally frustrating, there is no sense as what options the government has considered as it built this forthcoming budget.
In the absence of any meaningful transparency, I found myself reading two articles today. The first is on health care and the need for the government to think more broadly about how we fund the system and the role of the federal government.
The second is about austerity, arguing that governments have made austerity the defining issue of the day without having a good debate about the other options we face.
Two articles, both thoughtful reads and illustrative of the type of dialogue we should be having as we debate policy. Unfortunately, we are about to debate decisions that have been taken - something which is tantamount to being able to say your peace, even when you know it won't change things. We deserve and should aspire for better.

Giving all students access to the transformative power of music is the driving force behind the work of Canberra Grammar School music teacher Mr Pip Cain.
A champion of Musica Viva In Schools and former piano student, Pip is spearheading a way in which his students can help provide access to the program for less privileged schools.
Over the next year, students from years 4, 5 and 6 will record and produce a CD featuring their own songs, and sell it to the community with the aim to raise funds for Musica Viva's Equal Music program, so that students from financially disadvantaged schools can also enjoy live music in their classroom.
"It is important for all schools to develop a generous, philanthropic spirit in their students, a moral compass that allows them to see what it is that they have and how they can give back to society.
Live music is an experience, and in life, it is not what we have, but who we become through our experiences that defines our character." – Pip Cain, Music Teacher, CGS
We look forward to bringing you more news (and songs!) from this very special project.
Please help us transform more children's lives through music, by supporting Musica Viva in your state.

Piano Baby Horror
MLB from Chicago sends my worst nightmare, a turn of the last century German bisque piano baby figurine at about 8 inches long. In size, anywhere from 3-4" to 30" long, these infant-style figurines gratuitously laid on top of grand pianos, holding down ubiquitous piano shawls draped over piano lids. All of these piano babies are life-like, chubby, blue eyed and blonde. Most display fat naked thighs and bottoms. They usually lie on tummies or backs; some are in the act of playing with their toes, and toes are often seen inserted into little pink mouths set with tiny realistic baby teeth. In all, revolting! But like all fantastic fads of material objects that once captured the market, the object tells us about the philosophy of their time. In this case, we will learn something about the mixed sentiments around children in 1900.
Some late Victorian parlor pianos had whole menageries of these little bisque figures perched on top of the grands. Some piano babies are naked: the reason for this is unfathomable, yet some collector's guides give the following excuse for this prurient practice; they say, "The baby is freshly bathed," as if that story makes a (licentious!) difference. That's what is dangerous about hyperrealism: it taints the imagination. To be more than real is to invite a nightmare.
The worst feature of this particular realism is the attention to meticulous life-like detail. This detail lies in the threefold process of the medium: firstly, the bisque, which is a low-fired type of porcelain, was incised, an "intaglio technique," used, for example, around the eyes where a line was etched to create depth. Secondly, detail was applied in diluted pastel paint colors, horribly but expertly applied. Thus, little baby teeth are molded in the bisque, then etched, then painted pearl white, and surrounded by a coral pink bow-lipped mouth.
Most of these piano babies are, as I have said, (most unwholesomely) half-naked or naked: baby dresses, gowns, and sleep shirts (tantalizingly) open, either exposing bottoms and legs, or falling off rounded shoulders. The most notable manufacturers of these piano babies, the German Heubach Brothers, tinted the bisque medium called slip (which is usually bone white) a delicate "baby flesh" PINK, so baby's skin looks and – because bisque is smooth – feels real, including artfully placed (concupiscent) dimples in cheeks. I mean in all cheeks.
Some of the poses of these babies are voyeuristic, to say the least. Here's some popular attitudes: a little girl in a sunbonnet drooling over a peach, a baby in an adult's shoe, a baby crawling from an egg as if newly hatched, a child on pillow teasing a puppy, or reclining with thumb in mouth, or in all-white underwear, or on a tummy, naked, reading an oversized book, or a little toddler with torn romper and long blond curls, with trembling lip.
All this begs the question of the turn of the last century's social attitude regarding young children. Ironically, children were seen and not heard, AND highly romanticized. Most children's clothes were miniatures of adult's styles and just as restricting and structured. Boys and girls wore bows, dresses, stockings and high-topped boots, hats, collars and little fitted jackets, if the family had money. If the family was urban or rural poor in 1900, a child might dress in rags, and work in the mines, or clean chimneys, or hawk newspapers, or tend the farm animals. Realize that when these idealized baby figures were modeled, most children worked to support their families, some to their death. It was not until the late 1930's that Congress passed a law protecting children across the U.S. For example, my grandfather, born in 1899, delivered ice as a child. His brother stoked the coal-fired heater and stove, his sister filled the kerosene lamps. (Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb until 1879 – and by 1910 many cities were not yet wired for electricity.) When a child took sick, in 1900, a child was dosed with "patent medicines," tonics and syrups claiming to cure anything. Not until 1906 did Congress outlaw miracle cure-alls for children. So how pink and chubby were the children of the turn of the last century? Not as pink and chubby as these piano babies, I'd wager.
Yet there are collector's clubs for these piano babies, and I read with interest on three such club's homepages that many collectors of these figures are men. I leave that bit of information with you. The piano baby is worth $400.

Spent a while in Powis Hall market today talking with various traders and it's understandable that there are a range of views with respect to the re-design - because plans have been instigated many times in the past which, for one reason or another, have never come about. This tends to breed an understandable cynicism.
My own concern is that the re-design is only part of the puzzle for Powis Hall. The traders themselves now have a great range of goods and service on offer and the question is how best to present that to the buying public.
The re-design will, I'm sure bring up issues of signage and so on. Not only on site, but the promotion in and around the town.
Be very interesting what happens next.
Shall be watching like a hawk. :)

The Small Charm Square quilt is now completed. I finished it with a border made from a blue and yellow flowery fabric. I cut 2½ inch strips and sewing them diagonally together. This was then sewn to the edge of the front of the quilt, turned and hand sewn with a slip stitch to the back.
I have tried with the potholders to machine stitch both sides of the binding but I just don't like the way that turns out. It's worth hand stitching for neatness.
I'm about 70% happy with this one. Considering it was really just a rehearsal I'm content to let it be. If I had taken more time I would have arranged the colours more sensibly as there a similar colours clumped together which I don't like. I would also have done more actual quilting. I thought about doing more but decided to leave it as it is.
Having said that I anticipated it would get put away as I couldn't see much use for it however when I was taking the photographs outside I realised it's the ideal size to cover the table. So Small Charm Square Quilt has a place after all. All's well that ends well.


text: In July 1969, we all sat enthralled at our black and white TV sets believing we were watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the Moon. How daft! Anyone with an ounce of sense could see then but more especially now in these more enlightened times and advanced technology that it was a hoax. But why? This film not only explains why but of the culpability of the money men, the military-industrial complex and the needs to sustain for political expedience the murder of the greatest, most intelligent president in the history of the USA, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Never again would the powers that be allow such an intelligent man hold such a powerful position and a look through the list of his successors proves that. Interestingly, the truth behind JFK's death was sealed away not to be revealed until this year 2017 – if ever – and only by the president. If anyone can do it, Trump can and is rich enough to subvert the powers that be hands and do so, but will he. We wait with interest to see.
