You've probably read somewhere recently that robots are coming to take your job. It's true, they probably are. But they've got some growing up to do first, says Rob Nail, CEO and associate founder of Singularity University. Nail knows robots. He ran his own automation and robotics firm, Velocity11, before it was acquired.
While things have moved ahead since then, one robotics rule hasn't changed, the hard things are still easy, and the easy things are hard. Speaking at Summit Europe, Nail showed participants select footage from last December's DARPA Robotics Challenge trials. Even he, a robotics fan, admits it's terribly boring.

In his lecture on the background of the British drawing collection owned by the National Gallery, the curator who originally put this exhibit together reminded the audience that all of the drawings belonged to the people of Canada. So I already own a CRM-I just have to share it with 30 million other people. I don't know why they wouldn't let me get my time's worth out of it at by keeping it at my house for awhile.
Okay I didn't steal it, but I did buy the retrospective book that went with the exhibit, and by posting this picture from that am likely violating copyright so I'm still breakin the laaaawww.
At the time this was painted, the Mackintoshes careers were in the tank. While architectural and other design were abandoned, Charles focused on serene landscapes and continued doing his beautiful, painstakingly detailed flower paintings. I was reminded of the famous quote from a lecture he gave:
Art is the Flower...Life is the Green Leaf.
Let every artist strive to make his flower a beautiful living thing, something that will convince the world that there may be, there are, things more precious, more beautiful-more lasting than life itself.
I was so drawn to the cartouche, which he inscribed with his own and Margaret's initials in pencil.
The Salon itself was interesting. They had organized lectures, a piano performance (Mama and I only recognizing the most common of the four pieces he did-Clair de Lune-since we are part of the unwashed masses), a rather amusing tableau in which the performers re-created one of the paintings, and a poetry reading. All of these were interspersed with periods for conversational circles relating to various subjects. The major complaint I had was that the conversational circles were almost impossible to join in because we couldn't hear a thing. I tried very hard to hear the fellow who was involved in the work with the synchrotron, but to no avail.
At least we got booze and food-totally the redeeming part for mama. :-P She said it was just like all the functions she used to go to with dad; she had no idea what the hell they were on about half the time.
Here is what 100 of my dollars looks like. Why do art books always have to be so expensive? I think someone is trying to keep them from we unwashed masses or some such thing. Okay and they have lots of pictures-and colour ones at that.
I had to go back the next day and buy the book as the gift shop was closed during the Salon, then went back a third time and bought the Lanigan collection book. Since admission is by donation, I visited my favorite pictures-and especially the CRM-every time. :)
I didn't buy them at once was because I didn't think I could really afford both until mama the buying enabler got involved and told me to go back for the one on the left. Though both exhibits were beautiful, some of my favorites were from the Lanigan collection (he is reported to own the most impressive personal collection of PRB and related works in the country).
This one does however partially belong to me:
This is a detail of a large and meticulous pen sketch by David Wilkie chronicling a visit to Scotland of George IV. I just love this guy, he's all "who gives a rip about that fatarsed German king? Don't these people know if it's not Scottish it's crrap?!"

WASHINGTON — Education Secretary Betsy DeVos watched a transgender girl eat apple sauce and draw and listened to another student's emotional story of feeling marginalized at school, as activists pressed DeVos to make good on her promise to protect all students.
Parents and activists who met with DeVos on Wednesday said they thought she was moved by their stories, but they still left with little hope that she would be a strong advocate for transgender children.
The meeting at the Education Department came two weeks after the Trump administration rescinded Obama-era guidance that instructed schools to let students use bathrooms in line with their stated gender identity, not their assigned gender at birth. The decision was strongly condemned by civil rights groups, who said that it would harm already highly vulnerable students, but it was applauded by conservatives, who said the guidelines violated the safety and privacy of all other students.
Attending the meeting were Ellie Ford, a 5-year-old transgender girl, and high school student Grace Dolan-Sandrino, who told DeVos the middle school she attended did not let her use the girls' bathroom – as the Obama guidance was not in place then.
DeVos would not commit to any specific actions to help protect students like Grace and Ellie, the parents said. One parent at the meeting said she had lost a transgender child to suicide.
Grace's mother, Karen Dolan, said of the education secretary: "She sat there and listened to our stories through our tears and at times she seemed to appear visibly moved, but she didn't react."
DeVos agreed that there were "thousands and thousands" of transgender students across the country and that children are born that way, according to Dolan, who lives in Washington's Maryland suburbs.
"There is one thing between increasing your understanding and having your heart moved for an hour and then out of her position of power either acting to protect transgender and gender nonconforming children or acting in a way that will make their lives worse," Dolan said. "I haven't seen any concrete action that would give me any reason to be hopeful."
Grace, 16, who now goes to an inclusive high school where she can use the girls' bathroom, said that she told DeVos that her decision to scrap the guidance was "an extremely cruel thing to do." She said that being in an unwelcoming environment dramatically increases a transgender child's chances of developing depression or committing suicide.
"It is not fair for them to grow up with their human rights being denied," Grace said in an interview.

"Smart" Dream Jacket for Urban Cyclists
The understated smart jacket by the Levi's and Google ATAP collaboration could be likened to what you may see in a spy movie, the only difference - that you could be the owner of it in Spring 2017. Levi's® Commuter™ Trucker Jacket, the first of Project Jacquard to be announced.
Technology is literally woven into the fabric. Special yarn is used - combining thin, metallic alloys with natural and synthetic yarns making it strong enough to be woven on an industrial loom. The jacket has a smart tag, which allows you to easily tap or swipe it in order to give commands while you are on the move.
"Project Jacquard makes it possible to weave touch and gesture interactivity into any textile using standard, industrial looms.
Everyday objects such as clothes and furniture can be transformed into interactive surfaces."
From Bespoke touch and gesture-sensitive technology, to actual sensor grids creating interactive surfaces that can literally woven anywhere within the textile.
The electronics that are put into the garment are as small as a mere button on a jacket, and yet they can capture touch interactions and gestures that can be inferred using machine-learning algorithms.
Best explained by Project Jacquard: "Captured touch and gesture data is wirelessly transmitted to mobile phones or other devices to control a wide range of functions, connecting the user to online services, apps, or phone features.
LEDs, haptics, and other embedded outputs provide feedback to the user, seamlessly connecting them to the digital world."
The most exciting part of all this for designers, is that this new technology allows them to design and create new functions without having to learn about electronics. It opens up a whole new world for how we will perceive and interact with even our own clothing in the future. It is truly creating a brand new type of canvas for designers to pioneer their creativity.

Have you seen the new Lord & Taylor catalog?
I think slouching is now a new modeling technique, or style.
One of the models is slouching in almost every picture. Not really a slouch, more of a concave body arch, like the beginnings of a collapse due to bad cramps.
Her expression kind of goes with the whole contortion.
Hello, give your models Midol before snapping the picture.
She OBVIOUSLY doesn't have a good jewish mother who yelled at her every day before she went off to high school "Stand straight! You look nebbish! What are you cowering about? Your beautiful! Gorgeous! And you need every Inch!"
Maybe she screamed back at her mother, "Oh yeah?? When I grow up and get outta this one horse town I and my Slouch are going to be Famous!"
and so it is!

"A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded pistol on your coffee table- there is nothing wrong with them, but it is hard to stop thinking about it."- Garrisson Keillor
Bikini or Bust. That is how my last few weeks have been. Not even a bikini, just anything that would be appropriate for lounging on the beach or swimming up to a pool bar in Jamaica. 'Cause that is where this chick will be in approximately thirteen days.
I understand that no one likes bathing suit shopping (at least not the average lady). It is brutal. We are pale, maybe even see-through from wearing parkas, scarves and fleece lined leggings during the eight month phenomenon known as an atlantic Canadian winter. Those fluorescent lights that exist only in malls are also a problem. They have probably been put there to encourage people to spend money on fat-burning pills at GNC, vigorous gliding on an ellipticals and intermittant crying into morning coffees. I swear, they even my fingers look lumpy…it's marketing magic. I would bet Don Draper came up with it himself.
All of that said, I have a problem and it is a little north of the boarder. I am chesty, a little too chesty, especially when it comes to bathing suits. I tallied it up today; grand total of bathing suits tried on in two weeks- forty-nine. To break that down mathematically, of the said forty-nine suits, exactly forty turned out to be glorified nipple covers (as in little to no coverage and probably illegal in at least ten states…). Three, I had no words to describe and one was a beauty that fit like a dream but the top alone was over two hundred dollars. It had this budget-savvy-diva seeing dollar signs flinging here there and everywhere (feuw-feuw-feuw..the sound they were making as they whizzed by me). Bikinis, tank-inis and even the one-pieces were no-goes, they fit everywhere but the bust. Sets were just as bad. If the bottoms fit, the tops looked like dental floss or yarn (which is obviously both very flattering and supportive, not to mention dead sexy..). If the top fit (which lets face it, it didn't really) then the bottoms could have been used as a parachute if the plane unexpectedly crashed (safety first!) on the flight down. Sigh..
After hours of working the bikini-beat and after ingesting an entire crop of coffee beans, I settled. Yes, settled for a top I already owned but never loved. It fits enough to cover the danger zones and some mix and match bottoms should suffice. They had the top in six colors- obviously only two came in my size. Neon orange and white, nothing like attracting extra attention to an already attention grabbing area right? Double sigh..
So, here are some tips.
1) Don't beat yourself up, there is always gonna be someone who looks worse than you (ha!)
2) Don't get frustrated…hard but important.
3) If the lighting is terrible- wear your sunglasses and remember that natural light is always the best light.
4) Remember that bathing suits tend to run a little smaller then regualr clothing so sizing up is not a shameful, it is flattering
5) More coverage can add extra fabric that can exagerate problem areas you are trying to hide.
6) Tequila (otional) may help things along
7) …and finally give yourself lots of time, you don't want to settle if you don't have to.

Diabetes treatment is a step closer to the cure
Because time in memorial, medical professionals around the world has been trying to generate a diabetes mellitus remedy but fruitless. Nevertheless, the physicians have rather had the ability to think of different diabetes treatments that could be used in order to help people deal with the illness well enough. These treatments come in countless forms including medication that could be by mouth taken, medicine that could be injected right into the patient's body such as byetta an artificial hormonal agent that is infused into the body to ensure that it could boost insulin secretion as a way of responding to blood glucose, unique diet regimens prescribed by physicians, workouts and so forth.
Oral medications commonly work by either helping the body produce insulin or making it end up being more conscious insulin. By doing this, diabetic problems are the majority of the moment kept away. It is consequently that dental medicines are in some cases described as the diabetes mellitus treatment considering that the patient may remain for a long period of time prior to experiencing any one of the diabetic issues once she or he starts using these medications. Fine examples of oral medicines consist of Amaryl and also Avandia. Amaryl is a diabetic drug that works by helping the pancreatic organ rise insulin production in action to dishes being eaten by the individual. This action aids the body make use of the gotten sugar originating from the dishes extra efficiently hence avoiding excess sugar to remain in the blood. Exercises as well as unique diets especially for people with diabetes mellitus 2, often properly protect against diabetic issues from occurring.
Given that diabetes 2 is a health problem that primarily occurs as an outcome of insulin being blocked by the excess body fat something that prevents it from reaching the blood sugar, workouts and special diet plans may in this case aid stop this incident from occurring. For this to be achieved you should often involve on your own in workouts and also purely follow up on your diet. When one workout, they sheds excess calories existing in the body and makes the excess fat to be utilized by body cells at a faster price. This way, insulin does not get any trouble aiming to act on the blood sugar given that the body fat that utilized to prevent it from doing this will certainly no longer remain in its means. In addition to reducing excess fat in the body, unique diaremedium pret aid protect against diabetic troubles from occurring by enhancing the body immune system. Fruits and vegetables are food products that often develop component of the unique diet regimen and a lot of the time, they are made use of to provide the body immune system with minerals and vitamins that are essential for dealing with feasible problems that might happen in the system resulting right into the pancreatic being infiltrated for this reason quiting the process of insulin manufacturing.

SNC-Lavalin addresses concerns over pollution, lack of consultation
SNC-Lavalin met the public in Squamish this week, to discuss the companys proposed construction of a waste-to-energy incinerator in the Cheeye Fan.
The company had intended to consult the public and Squamish council from the beginning, but the controversy and speculation over the incinerator erupted before the SNC-Lavalin had a chance to introduce the project to the community.
"We need to get the facts straight, because a lot of people up in that neck of the woods havent," SNC-Lavalin vice president Ted Skodje said last week.
The incinerator, a SNC-Lavalin invention, will burn up to 75,000 tons (67,500 metric tonnes) of wood waste each year, generating approximately three and a half megawatts of power for B.C. Hydro. According to Skodje, the company has had two incinerators operating in Minnesota for 22 years now, and from an emissions standpoint, "its the cleanest there is."
Says Skodje, "This isnt something thats at the embryo stage were trying out, this things proven and it works."
A group of Squamish residents are concerned that not enough is known about the project. Squamish council didnt even evaluate the incinerator, or hold public hearings, because the proposed site has already been zoned for this kind of project.
Although the initial plan was to accept household waste and sewage sludge, as well as wood waste, the company has decided to focus on wood waste. The company hasnt ruled out the idea that the plant could take other types of waste in the future, but that would require permits from the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection.
There is also concern that wood waste could include wood treated with cyanide and copper, plywood that is treated with formaldehyde, railway ties, and painted or stained wood.
The Squamish Nation has already said that they wont support the incinerator, and Squamish residents have formed a "Clean Future Team" to look into the project. At this point, the biggest problem for local residents is the lack of information, consultation, and assurances that the plant wont expand operations in the future to take undesirable waste.
Whistler Councillor Ken Melamed has voiced his concern that the incinerator could adversely affect air quality in Whistler.
"Were going to be upwind of this thing, and we just dont know that much about it. Is it green technology? They say it is, but we need to look at this closer to see if and how it could affect us."
The Clean Future Team has over 40 members, some pro-incinerator, some anti-incinerator, and some fence sitters, and plans to hold regular meetings to discuss developments. The second meeting for the group is scheduled for Jan. 24 at 8 p.m., and will be held at the Brackendale Art Gallery.
According to Skodje, the initial groundwork is scheduled to begin in March. The incinerator would occupy approximately five hectares of B.C. Hydro property and feature a 15 metre stack.
According to a SNC-Lavalin fact sheet on the project:
The Heuristic EnvirOcycler is the most environmentally friendly process and cost effective means of waste disposal on the market today.
The two-stage combustion produces heat of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is used to generate electricity.
The proposed facility in Squamish will be the most environmentally friendly process for waste management and energy recovery in the province today. Any emissions from this facility will be in complete compliance with the provincial regulatory requirements.
Wood waste that goes to the landfill produces landfill gas, which is 50 per cent methane and 50 per cent carbon dioxide.
The Heuristic EnvirOcycler eliminates methane production and reduces the amount of particulate produced by open burning (e.g. slash piles at logging sites) by up to 200 times.
It will produce just under 58,000 tons (52,200 metric tonnes) of carbon dioxide per year, which is significantly more than the same quantity from landfilled wood, and on par with open burning. However, carbon dioxide derived from wood is not considered to be a greenhouse gas because the same amount would be released by the tree as it rots. "The amount of biomass-produced carbon dioxide in the earths atmosphere is considered to be a constant. It is carbon dioxide produced by the burning of fossil fuels coal, oil and natural gas that contributes to global warming, not carbon dioxide produced by the burning of biomass."
According to SNC-Lavalin, the EnvirOcycler will improve the air quality in Squamish by 30 per cent.

The Recycling section was established in 1989 to ensure compliance with the West Virginia Natural Resources Laws (Chapter 20, Article 11) before moving to the REAP program. This section is responsible for administering the following programs which have been developed and implemented to meet our goals. We also provide support in the following areas: public education programs and recycling market development.
Recycling Assistance Grant Program
The West Virginia Legislature made it possible to offer this program through a $1.00 fee imposed on every ton of solid waste disposed of at state landfills. Rules governing the program are under State Rule 33CSR10 (.doc).The funds are available to any county, municipality, public or private entity in West Virginia that is interested in planning and implementing recycling programs, related public educational programs or need assistance in recycling market efforts.
The amount of funding varies. The maximum amount of funding available for a public entity is $150,000 with $75,000 being the maximum for a private entity. Applications are due in office by 5:00 p.m. on the first business day of July. The grant cycle runs annually from January to February of the following year. The recycling grant application can be found in the table below.

multimc should be enough as well.

peterix commented on 2017-05-13 11:49
I am going to continue maintaining this as multimc-git and have requested merging this (multimc5-git) into that AUR package:
There are some changes involved:
1. Wrapper scripts are no longer used. There is /usr/bin/multimc instead.
2. Storage of user data has been moved to the standard XDG directory:
$XDG_DATA_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific data files should be stored. If $XDG_DATA_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.local/share should be used.
This means you should move your MultiMC data from ~/.multimc5 to ~/.local/share/multimc
Other XDG directories are not used, the code is not ready for that.
3. There might be some issues with integration with Steam. I haven't tested it yet, but some sort of `/usr/bin/multimc-steam` wrapper that fixes the environment might be needed.
peterix commented on 2017-01-14 16:26
I fixed it. And I also took over the package.
You can yell at me on discord if it breaks. I can respond there faster than to any notifications from AUR:
benklett commented on 2016-10-29 18:55
Sorry, I do not have the time to take care of it. I will just disown the package for now.
If I find some time and the package is still orphan, I will update it.

Hello Friends.
We just upgraded to FMP 16 and now when it opens it is full screen. Does anyone know how to set this to open with a smaller screen as it did in v15? This is annoying to have to resize it every time I open it. Other than that, I think I will enjoy v16 a lot. TIA

The Alchemist
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
This isn't the kind of book I would normally read. I was at the bookstore, wanting to buy something (I know you've all been there before), and this jumped out at me. Plus, I knew of the book, knew it had a huge following, and figured maybe it was time to see what it was all about.
There's a slight fantastical element to it, but mostly it's a literary fable, complete with its own moral. It's a brief book, but as the author notes in his foreword, it's about searching for treasure and self, and the story and its message are universal.
The story is simply told. It's not that it's dumbed down, but that it's written in clear, concise language. Given that the book has been translated, I'm not sure if the style is more the author or the translator (or both), but it works well. The story is already a fairy tale, and the language of the story supports it. It's direct, without getting sidetracked into things like characterization or even plot, but it wasn't a problem. It wasn't intended to have either.
The story reminds me a lot of Norton Juster's Alberic the Wise. They're not identical: Alberic the Wise is summed up well with its concluding line "It is much better to look for what I may never find than to find what I do not really want"; and The Alchemist is about treasuring what you have instead of what you want. There's just something similar in the characters' journeys to self-discovery.
It also reminds me a little of The Secret, that horrible New Age claptrap from 2006 that basically told people that all they needed to do to get what they wanted was to think positively about it. Early in the book, Coelho tells us, "When you want something the whole universe will conspire together to help you get it", and it sounded just a little too close to the message of The Secret. On the bright side, Coelho doesn't present that message as some spiritual truth; on the dim side, Coelho feels the need to repeat this message quite a bit through the novel.
I wish I could say something more about the story, but it doesn't have any resonance with me. Even if it isn't as hokey as The Secret, it still has a New Age angle to it that didn't do anything for me. It just felt mediocre.

Invisalign brand clear aligners were a game changer and completely remodelled the landscape of orthodontic treatment, and now, the same great folks that brought you the most effective and important clear aligner have just released a new brand of retainers that are likely to do the same thing to retention. This new, completely transparent and comfortable Vivera retainer is the perfect follow up to Invisalign treatment, but can be used for retention purposes after any orthodontic treatment in any system. Below, you can read all about Vivera retainers and how they work.
Why retainers are necessary
After going through orthodontic treatment, the teeth have a tendency to shift back to the original position that they were once in. A retainer is given to the patient to make sure that the teeth stay in their new position, and do not shift back to their previous position. The shift back usually takes time, and is usually incomplete, but is just enough to totally ruin the aesthetic appearance of the patient, and the shift can get worse over time, as the teeth are semi-mobile at all times. Vivera brand retainers are a perfect solution to this problem, and an aesthetic one to boot, as they provide retention but are invisible thanks to the same great design and materials that have made Invisalign the number one aligner on the market.
What's so special about Vivera
Vivera retainers are not just aesthetically pleasing, but are also made of a medical grade plastic that will not degrade over time. They are reportedly much more comfortable than fixed retainers, and are much more hygienic, as they can be taken out during meals, and need only to be used for 20 or so hours each day. Some of them are prescribed to be used only during night time, when you are sleeping, and some of them need to be worn for the rest of one's natural lifespan. However long you need to use it, this is the perfect retainer, a sit is invisible, comfortable and super effective at its job. The unique system that makes Invisalign so great also applies to Vivera retainers: you keep on getting new ones for the price you paid, so you do not have to worry about losing them.
Whether you have had Invisalign based orthodontic treatment or not, ask your orthodontist about Vivera brand retainers, and see if they are available for you. We highly recommend them, as they provide a very effective treatment with minimal discomfort, and require less patient cooperation, as you just keep on getting new ones, making them the best retainers on the market today.

Individual Play Therapy for children (age 6-12)
- Through a developmentally appropriate, play-based approach, children learn to express and work through a variety of issues that they may be facing, such as: anxiety, depression, anger, social skills, low self-confidence, sibling rivalry, adjusting to change, bullying, and many others.
- Play therapy offers children a way to express their inner world. Through play, children can safely and comfortably express and process the thoughts, feelings, fears, and hopes that they normally would have difficulty verbalizing.
- Some of the methods of play I utilize in my approach include sandtray therapy, drawing, painting, crafts, and therapeutic games.
Individual Therapy for Adolescents (age 13-17)
- depression
- anxiety, fears, and panic attacks
- peer pressure
- identity issues
- self-esteem
- assertiveness
- stress
- anger
- grief and loss
- coping with life changes
- bullying
- cutting and other self-harming behaviors
Parenting Sessions
- Strengthening your relationship with your child
- Managing parental stress and frustration
- Dealing with common parenting struggles, such as temper tantrums, power struggles, morning/bedtime routines, not listening, back talking, sibling rivalry, etc.
- Dealing with issues from your own childhood that may be affecting your parenting
- Parenting a child with special needs, such as ADD/ADHD, Medical conditions, Learning Disabilities, Anxiety and Depression
- Prenatal and post-natal issues such as pre- and postnatal anxiety/depression, emotionally preparing yourself for the arrival of your baby, helping your children adjust to the arrival of a sibling, and post-natal adjustment.

You discovered something intriguing the other day, and there's no way you're going to ignore it.
It's a new road, and it's enticing. It might be filled with lots of turns and rough spots – roads are like that - but the challenge will be satisfying. Although you can't see the end of this road, you've got a clear vision of where you want it to go. You can't wait to get started, but you'll need to be mindful. You don't want to crash.
Riding? Or business? How about both, says author Dwain DeVille. In his new book "The Biker's Guide to Business", he utilizes the language of one to explain success in the other.
Just before he hit "the big 5-0", Dwain DeVille experienced a few rocky roads, both personally and in business. The fall of the Twin Towers rocked him badly, he'd just had a health scare, and he felt as if he'd hit a plateau in his company. He decided to take time off to ponder what he calls The Question: What do I want my life to look like five years into the future?
On a motorcycle trip through the mountains of Colorado, he had several insights that led him to create worksheets (included in this book) to help determine his next directions. He soon realized that the issues he was struggling with were the same as those that his clients were experiencing.
"Knowledge isn't power until you apply it," DeVille says. He began to see business and life as a series of roads and exits. The goal, he says, is to find the direction that will allow you to have fun while you become a success.
Understand that the level of accomplishment you'll enjoy is parallel to your willingness to make sacrifices. Know that the "key to success isn't recognizing opportunity, but instead recognizing the opportunities you should not chase." Sweat the small stuff and remember that the in-between is what's important. Recognize that wipeouts are a fact and the best entrepreneurs learn from their road-rash. Communicate. Plan. Remember that this is your ride.
For the first twenty-five pages of "The Biker's Guide to Business", I was completely mesmerized. While drawing comparisons between black leather-wearing and black gabardine, author Dwain DeVille speaks to the heart of entrepreneurs who need to know where to go when enthusiasm has tempered, the business has plateaued, and goals have been reached. I could've sworn he was sitting in my living room.
But then, the advice slowed and skidded to an almost-stop. This business book became more of a memoir, there was a lot of conflicting advice, and DeVille's "seize the gusto" theme was lost amid boggy advice on getting the most out of employees. My enthusiasm level went from 80 to crawl in about a chapter.
Yes, there are many decent nuggets in this book, and it's surely worth hitting the highlights if you're newer to business. For most seasoned entrepreneurs, though, "The Biker's Guide to Business" just ran out of gas.

Meanwhile Back at Home
The Dodgers are in Pittsburg losing to the Pirates. Saturday nights game was their second loss in a row. The Giants finally lost a game so the Dodgers are still 7 games out of first place.
Meanwhile back at home, I'm at work.
It helps that I really like the people I work with. We night shift people are a different sort. I'm working 6 nights in a row. I'll be tired by the time the Dodgers are back in town.
On the weekends when there are no games, I like to splurge on Filipino breakfast. When there are games I save my appetite for the food in the club.
They already had lunch dishes out.
Back to the Dodgers….They already DFA'd Nick Tepesch. I guess they aren't fooling around. Will Venable opted to go back to Oklahoma City so we may see him back. I really like him so I'm glad that he decided to do that. Now the Dodgers are back to the ???? 5th starter. Zach Lee is out since they traded him. Mike Bolsinger was sent down but could come back up. They could experiment with some of the other pitchers in the minors. They probably were hoping that Ryu or McCarthy would be ready soon since there has been no indication that they are even interested in another pitcher. They could have a bullpen game which was pretty much what they had Friday. What to do. What to do.
Saturday night's game was not pretty for the Dodgers. Andrew McCutcheon found his swing back and hit two home runs off of Kenta Maeda. The Dodgers failed to hit any home runs for the first time in 14 games.
On Sunday Clayton Kershaw 11-1, ERA 1.57 will meet Chad Kuhl who has just been called up from Triple A. The Dodgers can still split the series with Pittsburg. Kazmir will pitch on Monday.
Thanks for stopping by. GO DODGERS!!!

While over in Millennium Dome land Greenwich Watch, Cllr Nigel Fletcher and Iain Dale expose the secret congestion charge, the Daily Mail report on the big secret facing Greenwich and the rest of London. Thames to Flood in 8 Years, a little warning from Sir Nicholas Stern.
Has somebody been asking questions? Letter to Greenwich MPs and Councillors, let the political representatives of Greenwich know the Government were told about the flood threat to London and had the solutions in April 2001. Behind all this SNP MP Pete Wishart has written to Jim Fitzpatrick MP, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, regarding the criteria of assessment in the Millennium Dome competition. That's SNP, the same political party that started the 'cash for peerages' investigation.
Back to the Daily Mail and political editor Benedict Brogan reveals more of the tit for tat, between Chancellor Gordon Brown and Sir Nicholas, in Stern's Revenge. You can tell that ecology has become the political mainstream when 'in-jokes' are made about it.

This has been a special day. I got to meet for the first time, an internet friend and fellow glass artist from Washington State. LaWatha Wisehart and her husband were camping in south FL along with their cairn terrier named Bailey and their golden retriver named Casey. They stopped by to visit and Bailey and Casey met Zoe, my cairn terrier. It was so nice to be able to meet in person after getting to know one another online. This is one of the true rewards of social networking.

The sand moves through the timer. I feel like the same person as I did at 18 as I do now. The sand moves at the same pace, but it seems to move faster now and there is less of it as time moves. My face is getting wrinkles. I fight with bits of tape and consider costly surgeries, but what does it matter I have no husband and no career. I trade my youth for wisdom. My experiences seem to just happen and they cause me to seek wisdom as they also do to my peers. Am I as wise as they are? Am I even as wise as a philosophizing youth? The sand keeps moving. Have I done everything I wanted to by this age? I cannot be an athlete anymore. Dreams and possibilities have passed me by for not acting now, what could I miss by not acting on my remaining youth? Stuck in between youth and old age. I could still fall in love again or follow a new career. I am haunted by regrets, so I focus on the now and advise kids who won't listen like I didn't. My body is starting to fail me. I go to the doctor for new aches or pains, "you are too young for this" she says. Nobody wants to age, but it is the price paid for wisdom. In our society we worship youth, wisdom is cast aside, perhaps this is our downfall.
