Too small to be blogged, but too truthful or funny to be missed: below are some of my facebook tweets since I began this project. The wisdom is in my very own words unless otherwise noted. You may now deliciously quote me, Holly Shaw, wherever you like.
I really enjoy the part of my personality that others would label as "inappropriate." I like to call them "freedom" 10/18/12
Carefully I seek out the pieces to my misery and fling them to the ends of the earth so that they shall never be united again into full view. . . or something like that;) 10/14/12
Creating on other dancers is incredibly rewarding. I get to see my vision wholly as opposed to making a dance on myself. There is a whole other level of generosity and satisfaction as you give yourself over to making art on others. 8/28/12
Dancing every day was, at first, a discipline but then it stuck when I began to realize it was me WANTING to spend a little time every day with what I loved. I am learning to play my body as an instrument instead of work it. 8/12/12
Rum is like liquid love. . . And coffee is liquid focus 7/10/12
Just discovered the silver lining to being a sometimes poor listener: your spirit isn't concerned with the nit picky minutiae, the gossip, the intricate details of your problems. The greater part of you is puffing on the poppy pipe in the fluffy cloud of your solutions. The greater part of you isn't listening to that other shit so why should I? When you complain, me and your greater self are both spacing out – daydreaming of you happy 7/7/12
It's taken me 25 years but I have finally decided my stage name should be "Yes!" 6/12/12
Within each of us there are songs, dances, stories, drawings, buildings, potions. . . solutions and evolutions. If we stop to listen, they will surface. And if we listen long enough they will swim and splash on the surface and party like a high school girl's reuinion with an open wet bar! 6/12/12
Discovered key to magic workout in the studio: the discipline to warm up and line up properly, and then the freedom to let go of all discipline and just play! 6/1/12
Finally! I made some progress on this dance. Channeling Rocio Molina and Charlie Chaplin in the studio. They are both playful and do funny things so that actually makes sense! 5/24/12
When I can't find the words to write about something then I know it falls into that realm that can only be expressed through dance. When I can't find the movements to dance something then I slouch in my bed eating cold saffron rice out of a tupperware container and read the New Yorker. 5/22/12
Every family has its quirks: in mine, water balloons make their way into dances. 5/20/12
Catching up to your desires is the business of life. 5/8/12
About my experience at the Tamalpa training:
I'm going to school to learn to hear the voice of my soul:) 5/2/12
My soul speaks Spanish and I can't understand when it habla at me so fast!! 5/5/12
My soul speaks Art fluently. 5/6/12
My spirit wants more space in this relationship. 5/6/12
I went to school to listen to the voice of my soul but I couldn't hear it. I found out later that it was playing hooky. It stayed home and built with Legos, wrapped the house in toilet paper and when I came home met me at the door with chocolate on its chin and a finger painting of me presented in gleeful hands. My soul doesn't want me to try so hard. My soul just wants me to play. 5/14/12
· Anytime you resist the urge to beat up on yourself after a performance, you grow as an artist, 100 fold.
· Someone asked me recently wasn't I worried people would steal my choreography off the internet and my response to that is that yes, they could steal it from me, but they would never be able execute it the same as me. They might do it better.
· "Be Free Bitches!!!!!"
-spiritual wisdom from the ladies bathroom wall
· Everything is either a Hell Yes! for me right now or a Hell No! There is no in-between!
· You are more than you think you are and all that you feel you are.
· "In the end, all collaborations are love stories." –Twyla Tharp
· There's a lot you can try to teach people, but the most important things are learned by example.
· Dance as an art form is like an etch-a-sketch. You make it, then you shake it, then it's gone;)
· Holly Shaw will be working from inside the vortex the rest of the day.
· "I worry that I'll go down to the dock, and that my ship will have already come and gone. I'll miss my boat." . . . we say, another boat, another boat, another boat. You have no idea how many boats are coming to your dock. It's a steady stream, and it doesn't matter how many of them you've missed.
-Abraham (from Esther Hicks)
· I am leaving FB and not coming back until I finish choregoraphing this Mother F*$#& Guajiras!
· Well the road map is there at least!
· I love the happy "accidents" that happen during a performance! Watching a great performer make a mistake and then go with it, transform it. It is like watching a piece of ourselves and so the dancer becomes our hero. These are always my favorite parts!
· Describe yourself as a work of art.
· If I were a painting I'd be tucked away in a villa somewhere in the country, loved by generations of one family and smudged by the curious fingertips of children. I'd leave you with the feeling of a well-lit Maxfield Parrish.
· Shamans say the planets are not aligned for this dance, but my suspicion is they just don't feel like putting on the friggin costume
· I don't trust anyone who doesn't trust me to trust myself.
· Always on the lookout for The Exceptional

{Today's Letters} 2/24/10
Monday, March 08, 2010
Today's Letters: Dear Mr. Loerke, after you shower you like to open your dresser drawers and throw clothes over your shoulder like a thief looking for valuables. It's a game to see how many articles of clothing you can get to land on the bed. I love it that you do this. Dear Connie Meinhardt, today Mr. McFeely delivered one of the most thoughtful packages ever. Goods from Trader Joe's and a note that read: I saw these things and thought you and Tim could use them on your next hot date. I was floored. Dear Husband, tonight while quizzing you for your boards you taught me how to pronounce hyperphosphatemia (hī'pur-fos'fə-tē'mē-ə). I can teach you how to make shmallows if you like.

What is the cost of being connected and having unlimited access to information? Is sacrificing privacy a tradeoff to progress or an essential right we must protect? Let's take an inward look and debate how we should balance transparency and security.
Key Takeaways:
- While we live in the world where transparency is equated with honesty, we also live in a world where private information shared publicly can ruin a career, a marriage, a life. Hear different perspectives on the downsides of privacy and how transparency, in certain areas, can lead to positive transformation.
- With new and scary players using data and information maliciously, we need to balance our collective need for security with our personal desire for privacy.
- How do we personally select the battles worth fighting, the battles we can win? Consider what compromises you are making everyday to get the information and services you use everyday.
- Canada is one of the world leaders in the area of Digital Identity: policy, regulation, technology. How are private businesses and governments collaborating or should they be working together to maintain our basic rights?

I love this photo that Todd Butcher took. It paints what I love about cyclocross. I've just powered through a mud pit and am (relatively speaking) speeding toward a staircase runup. There were a lot of people at the mud pit and the runup cheering, and both were really hard and required bike handing skills to navigate efficiently and quickly. There's mud on me and the bike, the scenic venue is in the background, there's pain and yet FUN written on my face. This, for me, is what cyclocross is all about.

For No Java
September 11th., 2002
I woke up this morning almost dreading the day
because it is 9-11 and the tears won't go away.
I mourned for the people lost in the attack.
I mourned for the survivors who are forced to look back.
I mourned for my country, felt a weight crushing my heart...
A feeling of heaviness that just wouldn't depart.
I prayed for those people, I prayed for each one
Who must face today with the battle not done.
I prayed for a peace to settle our land,
To take away heartache, to unite us to stand...
For stand together we must and be drawn closer to God.
But our Lord knows each heart and it's so very hard.
It's hard to pray peace and watch destruction take its toll.
But God is still GOD... and HE'S STILL IN CONTROL!
So today with the tears still fresh on my face...
I will pray for each one to feel our Lord's grace.
I will pray for the enemy...yes they need prayer too,
For if they don't come to Jesus, His wrath will pour through.
Through the skies come destruction and their lands will run red
With the blood of their people until the enemy's dead.
Oh, God, comfort our victims, for their pain's taken its toll.
You ARE STILL GOD ALMIGHTY...

I am a lifelong fan of Billy Joel, an American singer-songwriter and composer of classical music. His English counterpart is, of course, Elton John! I have enjoyed his music, too. If Billy's signature song is "Piano Man," Elton's would be "Your Song." What do you think? They have some similarities and differences.
Elton is two years older than Billy. They were two of the most successful pop and rock musicians throughout 70's and 80's. After that, they continued their music activities and had a few sporadic hits. You'll frequently hear their music as BGM and commercial songs. Currently Billy's "Uptown Girl" is used in the Kirin beer advertisement. In Face-to-Face concert, they have made tours together around the world.
They are both pianists. They started playing piano at the age of four. Probably due to classical music training, they are especially blessed with melodic skills. Billy's trademark is rapid-fire piano playing exemplified in "Angry Young Man," "Running on Ice," and so on. I feel Elton's touch of piano is, in general, lighter and sounds bouncing.
Both of them have worked hard for charity. Billy has worked hard on preservation of what is left of the old Long Island where he is from. His anger over the random development of the place is shown in "No Man's Land," and "The Downeaster Alexa" is dedicated to the commercial fishermen of Long Island. Elton is noted for Elton John Aids Foundation.
I've learned English from their music. I think it's one of the most enjoyable ways to learn a language. I've picked up many useful English expressions from their songs, some of which have a really nice ring. I'm glad that Billy Joel and Elton John are good rivals, friends, and fans of each other's music.

Double E had the pleasure of helping one of the world's leading manufacturers of automobile air bags with a safety concern they were having. The safety chucks on the customer's unwind stand are approximately seven feet above the factory floor. When the master roll is loaded or unloaded, workers were climbing up the machine to reach the safety chucks and/or using a mallet to open and close the safety chucks. The machine did not provide a catwalk to facilitate access to the safety chucks, creating an unsafe work environment.
Double E's solution to the customer's factory safety issue was to provide the AP/SM100/P0/IV40 and AP/SM100/ P1/IV40 pneumatic safety chucks. These safety chucks use air pressure to open and close the safety chucks, removing the need for workers to scale the machine each time the unwind roll was changed. To further enhance safety and ease of use, Double E's engineers designed these pneumatic safety chucks to communicate with the machine's automated controller. The safety chucks are button-activated at the machine's control panel. The pneumatic safety chucks use three proximity sensors. Indicator lights inform the operator whether the safety chucks are open or closed. In addition, Double E's engineers designed a "safety switch," so that the unwind stand will not operate when the safety chucks are opened or improperly oriented.
Double E's solution to the customer's plant safety concerns demonstrates the company's ability to improve existing machine designs. Double E's work to integrate the pneumatic safety chucks into the customer's existing automated system provided a direct, elegant solution that enhanced both plant safety and productivity. Double has since provided 29 pairs of these safety chucks to the customer.

That's not good.
It's not great, either.
It's actually more like friggin' fantastic!
The London Paper is running a promotion on Monday to win tickets to the world premiere of the Boat That Rocked that night (Monday 23rd March)!
The first 150 people to turn up at the foyer of the Empire cinema Leicester Square at 4pm on Monday 23 March with their copy of THE LONDON PAPER will receive a ticket to the premiere!!
Wait, wait – there's a catch (there always is – competitions are like marriages):
YOU HAVE TO TURN UP IN 1960's FANCY DRESS!
Now that's typical – if there's one thing I have plenty of, then it's 1960's style dresses. Alas, I'm not in London, so you've got one person less standing in your way. Or take pictures of you while you're not looking and then posting them on the internet.
Just in case you're in doubt what 1960's clothes looked like:
If you want to go for "cool" rather than "colourful to the point of ouch", I'd suggest the following look, though:
There's also an official MySpace page for "The Boat That Rocked" – quizzes, trailers, behind-the-scenes videos, playlist, news, competitions and lots of other things.
Have a lot of fun, lucky winners of premiere tickets! And everybody else watching the movie as well!
Been to the premiere? Or seen the movie some other day? Let us know what you thought of it – no matter if you loved "The Boat That Rocked" or hated it. Leave a message, send a mail, release a pigeon. Messages in a bottle are also welcome.

I'm having way too much fun with this. Unfortunately, there's still neither news nor information regarding Jack Davenport's character in "The Boat That Rocked", but considering that said character is called "Twatt", it's very likely he's working for the government… 60ies Norrington, hunting down radio pirates – one of them being Davy Jones…
Anyway, the posters – neat stuff! Ian Macmillan had ten minutes to take the legendary picture of The Beatles gracing the cover of "Abbey Road"; I suppose Rankin was allowed a little more time for this great hommage to the Fab Four. Rankin the photographer – not the cricket player. (Now there's a fun idea…)
There are also some fantastic individual shots (see below). My favourite is the one of Rhys Ifans – FTW, mate!
Pictures used with permission.
In 1966, arguably British pop music's finest era, the BBC played only two hours of rock and roll every week. But pirate radio blasted rock and pop from the high seas 24 hours a day. And 25 million people, more than half the population of Britain, listened to these pirates every single day.
The Boat That Rocked is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music. It's about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz.
Richard Curtis directs and all star cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Kenneth Branagh and Nick Frost. The film also stars Tom Sturridge, Jack Davenport, Ralph Brown, Chris O'Dowd and January Jones.

Time For Acupuncture, Then Read This Information!
When you have a cold, you likely have a bowl of chicken soup to make you feel better. When your throat is sore, you may drink a mug of tea with honey to soothe it. You don't realize it, but these are alternative treatments which work, just like acupuncture, so read on to find out more.
It is important to let your acupuncturist know about the vitamins or medications you are taking before the beginning of your treatment. Some pills can affect your system and counteract the effects of an acupuncture session. You might have to stop taking your medication or vitamins for a while if you want to get good results from acupuncture.
Acupuncture involves needles, there is no way to avoid this and it is a fear that you will need to overcome. The treatments are comfortable and administered by professionals. The needles aren't there to inject medications or inflict pain. It may be a scary idea at first, but after your first visit, you'll be ready for seconds.
Acupuncture produces different effects in different people. Some people report that they feel extremely relaxed after a session, while others notice a burst of extra energy. A common benefit reported by most patients is an overall sense of well-being and fitness. These feelings are in addition to achieving the pain relief they were seeking.
Make sure you don't see your acupuncturist on an empty stomach. You'll want to eat a full meal about 2 hours before your session. If you go to a session hungry, you may wind up feeling dizzy or lightheaded. You want your sessions to make you feel better, not worse.
Do not let an acupuncturist convince you they are experienced because they practiced in another country. Keep in mind that practicing acupuncture in China or in another country is very different from what doctors are allowed to do in the U.S. Ask your acupuncturist about their education and experience in the U.S.
Inquire whether you should do anything before or after your treatment. Your acupuncturist may want you to take certain actions, such as laying down for a while after the treatment, or drinking a full glass of water. Find out before your treatment, so you know what to expect each time.
The best way to undergo an acupuncture treatment is to look at it as a time to rest. Close your eyes and simply zone out, or take the time to practice meditation and positive affirmations. Listening to soothing music can sometimes help. If you can relax, your session will be a pleasant and more effective one.
When trying to find a practitioner of acupuncture, look on the Internet. By doing a web search for acupuncturists in your area, you can see who is available as well as read any customer reviews. You may also head to a website, such as http://www.NCCAOM.org. The NCCAOM will give you a detailed list on who is licensed in your area.
When your feet ache, you soak them in hot water with epsom salts. When you have a throat infection, you gargle with salt water. When you feel any sort of ailment which modern medicine fails to treat effectively, acupuncture can help you out. Thanks to this article, you know enough to go get your first treatment today.

Europas Eruptive Plume Hints At Habitability
Aviation Week.com/space/Europa's eruptive plume hints at habitability?
Mark Carreau | Aerospace Daily & Defense Report May 14, 2018
HOUSTONDuring a 1997 close flyby of Europa, the ice- and ocean-covered moon of Jupiter, NASAs long-concluded Galileo spacecraft appears to have flown through an eruptive watery plume more than 600 mi. (1,000 km) long, according to a new study that adds to evidence of an internal heat source and potential habitability.
The findings, published May 14 in the journal Nature Astronomy, adds merit to further scrutiny of Europa by NASAs planned Europa Clipper multiple flyby mission, the study team says.
The effort also supports the notion that Europas potential habitability can be further assessed by flying through the geyser sprays without engineering a much more costly lander mission in the near term. Such a mission would drill through a global surface ice layer estimated at 10 to 15 mi. (15-25 km) thick to submerge into an ocean layer 40 to 100 mi. (60-150 km) deep or attempt a touchdown near one of the many fractures in the ice layer amid a blocky, chaotic terrain. Both mission concepts have an influential supporter, Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas), who chairs the House Appropriations Committees commerce, justice and science subcommittee.
The findings also back up multiple Hubble Space Telescope observations dating back to 2012. Those observations revealed evidence of vapor plumes rising 125 mi. (200 km) above Europas south pole region, which first fueled speculation of an internal heat source and a moisture cloud that might be able to be analyzed in situ by an orbiter/flyby mission for evidence of habitability.
About 2,000 mi. in diameter, smaller than the Earths Moon, Europa speeds around Jupiter every 3 1/2 days. Like the Earths Moon, Europa is tidally locked, presenting just one face to its host planet. Europa played key roles in a pair of science fiction film classics about U.S., Russian and Chinese efforts to seek intelligent extraterrestrial life: 1968s 2001: A Space Odyssey and a 1984 sequel, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, adding to a longstanding scientific fascination with the Jovian moon.
During the Dec. 16, 1997 flyby, Galileo sped within 100 mi. (150 km) of Europas surface, the closest of 11 low-altitude swings near the moon by Galileo overall. Data from two instruments, Galileos planet wave spectrometer and magnetometer, suggest the probe made a 3-min. pass through a disrupted region above the moon surface.
The Hubble observations, coupled with science gathering early last year to prepare for the Clipper mission in which the Galileo findings were summarized, prompted Xianzhe Jia, a University of Michigan space physicist, and his team to computer model the probes late-1997 Europa encounter using magnetometer and plasma wave data as well as Hubble. The findings became the basis of the Nature Astronomy report.
Combining the two independent pieces of evidencethat really strengthens the case that Europa seems to have plumes, and that, I think, provides a great opportunity for the future exploration of Europa, Jia told a May 14 NASA-hosted Web briefing and discussion of the research paper.
Jias team was also inspired by the recently concluded Cassini mission to Saturn. The NASA-led collaboration with the European and Italian space agencies flew through eruptive material coming from Enceladus, another ice-covered ocean world in the outer Solar System that hints at a habitable environment.
The Clipper mission will attempt to advance an understanding of Europas potential habitability without attempting a direct detection of biological activity, Lori Glaze, the acting director of NASAs planetary science division, told the Web session. As planned, Clipper will be able to make an in situ assessment of the chemistry and particle composition of the plumes.
Clippers ultimate aim is to determine whether Europa is habitable, possessing the ingredients we believe are necessary for life as we know it: liquid water, chemical ingredients and an energy source, said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASAs associate administrator for science. Europas ocean is one of the most promising places that could potentially harbor life in the Solar System.
NASA is in the preliminary design phase of the Clipper mission with a runout cost estimate of $1.78 billion through 2023, according to 2019 budget documents. It would launch possibly in 2025 on a commercial launch vehicle. After a long journey, Clipper would steer into orbit around Jupiter and maneuver for more than 40 close Europa flybys, some dipping as close as 16 mi. (25 km) from the moons surface.
But a May 9 markup by the Culberson-chaired appropriations subcommittee of NASAs 2019 budget would advance Clippers launch to 2022 using a NASA Space Launch System (SLS) rocket at an estimated mission cost of $2.55 billion.
The 2019 House CJS markup includes $585 million for Clipper, plus $195 million for a follow-on Europa lander mission, which would launch in 2024, also using an SLS rocket.
The White House has rejected a Europa lander mission, characterizing its multi-billion dollar price tag as disruptive to other NASA science initiatives and slated for launch much too soon to take advantage of Clipper data needed for landing site selection.
Like Mars, Europa is considered a high priority by the National Academy of Sciences in the search for life beyond Earth.
Launched aboard a space shuttle in 1989 and maneuvered into orbit around Jupiter in December 1995, Galileos mission to Jupiter was slated to end in December 1997. But the investigations were extended into September 2003, allowing a total of 11 close Europa passes. As its mission concluded, Galileo was commanded to plunge into Jupiter to avoid possible terrestrial contamination of Europa.
The European Space Agency is also pursuing further exploration of Europa and other Jovian moons with its Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (Juice) mission, slated for launch in 2022. After reaching its destination in October 2029, Juice would orbit Jupiter for four years for closeup observations of the icy moons Callisto and Ganymede as well as Europa
NASA has signed up for $114.4 million in contributions to Juice science instruments with Swedish and Italian collaborators, including an ultraviolet spectrometer, a plasma mapper and an ice-penetrating radar to investigate below the ice, assessing the presence of a core and possible heat sources.

This was our first little girl we picked up last February. The one who created our em, obsession if you could say with these little critters. Matilda (now 1) is bold, overly loving (kissing anyone?!) the best snuggler anyone could ever have. But yet, to a stranger she is curious and suspicious all in one.
Milo was our second Chi who we decided to get as a playmate for Matilda. He is a bit older than she but is our most patient & loving toward our human kids. They're always lugging him around like he's a baby, dressing him up & snuggling with him.
Maxwell (who is 10 months old) was one of those faces that I couldn't stop looking at. The little heart on his head made him impossible to resist & his little Mama's boy personality lives up to what I thought he would become. ;o)
Lastly, our newest little Chi Maribelle (AKA Mari) who is currently 13 weeks old. At that point we were thinking "what's one more?!". LOL We had basically one of every color Chi - we needed a little chocolate to add. :oP She's our only long coat Chihuahua and lives up to her "originality" in the pack in more ways than one. She's the most active Chi in our clan but again, is really very sweet, smart & so far, is showing to be the most outgoing around strangers though she is shy of other animals. I'm excited to see what her mature years bring & if she continues to dominate the rest of the Chi's even though she is expected to be the smallest (between 4-4.5lbs).

Kamal's strong reaction to CM: Asks people to e-mail corruption complaints
Hours after chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami hit out at him for leveling corruption charges against the government, Kamal Haasan on Wednesday night took his fight to a higher level, urging his fans and others to send email complaints against corruption to the ministers.
"My younger brother (finance minister) D Jayakumar and (BJP national secretary) H Raja, who challenged me to enter politics, do not know that I have been politics for a long time. I became a politician the moment I raised my voice against Hindi imposition," said Kamal.
"There are persons who received bribes openly but forgot to discharge their duties… Their intimidation that action would be taken against me for tax evasion evokes laughter and anger at the same time," he said.
On the ministers seeking evidence from him, he said the people were there to remind them of the corruption.
"You should write to them if you had come across corruption in this government. Dont do that through letters or postcards as they will just tear them. Record them digitally and with dignity," said he.
He alleged that barring few like him, others in the movie world are keeping silent to the corrupt drama enacted in the name of giving tax exemption certificates.

Southwest Pilot delayed take off so that passenger could say farewell to his murdered grandson
This story has really touched me. The link is here, but to summarise: one of the Southwest Pilot's (together with a ticketing agent) held up the departure of a flight so that a passenger wouldn't miss his chance to say goodbye to his poor murdered grandson who's little body was about to be taken to surgery to donate his organs to save lives. This is the letter that this beautiful little boy's grandmother wrote to tell her husband's story
Last night, my husband and I got the tragic news that our three-year-old grandson in Denver had been murdered by our daughter's live-in boyfriend.
He is being taken off life support tonight at 9 o'clock and his parents have opted for organ donation, which will take place immediately. Over 25 people will receive his gift tonight and many lives will be saved.
This morning, after only a couple hours sleep, my husband and I began to make all arrangements to get him to Denver to be with our daughter. He is currently on business in LA and is flying Southwest.
While his employer, Northrop Grumman, made arrangements to get his ticket changed so he could get to Tucson today (which he had to do in order to not spend any extra money) I called Southwest to arrange his flight from Tucson to Denver so he would be stepping off one plane and getting on another.
He has several free flights with them so I couldn't really do it on the website. The ticketing agent was holding back tears throughout the call. I'm actually her step-mother and it's much more important for my husband to be there than for me to be there.
In LAX, the lines to both check a bag and get through security were exceptional. He got to the airport two hours early and was still late getting to his plane.
Every step of the way, he's on the verge of tears and trying to get assistance from both TSA and Southwest employees to get to his plane on time.
According to him, everyone he talked to couldn't have cared less. When he was done with security, he grabbed his computer bag, shoes and belt and ran to his terminal in his stocking feet.
When he got there, the pilot of his plane and the ticketing agent both said, "Are you Mark? We held the plane for you and we're so sorry about the loss of your grandson."
The pilot held the plane that was supposed to take off at 11:50 until 12:02 when my husband got there.
As my husband walked down the Jetway with the pilot, he said, "I can't thank you enough for this."
The pilot responded with, "They can't go anywhere without me and I wasn't going anywhere without you. Now relax. We'll get you there. And again, I'm so sorry."
My husband was able to take his first deep breath of the day.
I don't know any other airline that would have done this.
Elliot.org. The blog that first broke this story wrote:
I'm speechless. Twelve minutes many not sound like a lot to you or me, but every second counts when you're an airline. Southwest can turn an entire plane around in about 20 minutes, so 12 minutes is half an eternity.
I shared Nancy's story with Southwest, and a representative said the airline was "proud" of the way the pilot had held the flight. Again, most airlines would punish an employee who holds up the line for any reason.

text: HUD: Stub Out Smoking in All Public Housing Agency pushing for law to protect residents nationwide from secondhand smoke By Jenn Gidman, Newser Staff Posted Nov 12, 2015 11:53 AM CST 203 comments Comments HUD Secretary Julian Castro is shown on June 17, 2014, before the Senate Banking Committee hearing on his nomination. (AP Photo/Lauren Victoria Burke) (Newser) – HUD proposed a federal mandate Thursday that has some smokers fuming: a ban against lighting up in public housing nationwide, the New York Times reports. If the law passes, more than 3,100 public housing agencies would prohibit smoking in all living units, indoor common areas, administrative offices, and outdoor spaces near those other areas, the Washington Post notes. The reason: to keep residents safe from secondhand smoke, cut down on fire risks, and curb building maintenance expenses, per the Times. "The argument about secondhand smoke is over," HUD Secretary Julian Castro tells the paper. "It's harmful." Since HUD started encouraging public housing groups to implement bans in 2009, more than 600 agencies with at least 228,000 units have gone smoke-free, per the Post—but now the federal housing department wants to make it universal. A study by the CDC backs up the economics, predicting that a nationwide ban would result in annual savings of $153 million. The group that would feel the biggest burn: the NYC Housing Agency, the nation's largest public-housing group, with more than 400,000 residents in about 178,000 apartments, per the Times. But some worry that, without community support, it will be difficult to enforce, and they don't think the cops should be involved. "It should be resident-led," the chairwoman of the NYCHA tells the Times. HUD says it will listen to public comments on the potential law before making a final decision. (Read more smoking stories.)

ImageZFixed up a few issues with using non-pre-multiplied alpha, but only for normal blending mode - I know all the other blending modes are still doing it wrong.
Actually I can't really remember where I was at last time and how much i've done since then, it's all blurring into one long indistinct memory.
But I did work on what i've been calling a 'super affine tool'. It combines the various affine operations into a single tool in a way that should still be accessible.
A scaled, rotated and translated cat
I've been thinking about this for quite a while but finally sat down to nut it out. When you bring up the tool the following controls pop up in the middle of the image:
- Centre Disc
- This is the location of the image relative to the centre of the image. i.e. a simple translate.
- Inner Ring
- Sets the location of the rotation centre point on the source image.
- The two Parallelograms
- Adjust the shear in X or Y. The shapes move as you drag them in proportion to the shear amount.
- The two Rectangles
- Adjust the scaling in X or Y. The shapes scale as you drag the mouse in proportion to the scaling amount.
- Outer Ring
- Adjusts the rotation angle. Yes it probably needs some sort of indicator, although the moving image gives you that.
I'm still tweaking the affine transform matrix it produces to make it behave nicely. It applies the rotation, then the shear, scale and finally offset. This makes it behave mostly how you'd expect it to, although in some cases you'd have to run it multiple times to get exactly what you wanted. And it doesn't work properly if the view is zoomed ... and you can't actually commit the operation yet.
Damnation in hell Java is fast at this though - it must be accelerating it using the graphics card. I'm even using linear interpolation with alpha blending for the real-time preview and it's really nice and quick - at least when using one of the native layer types. Even a full-resolution image from my digital camera at 4288x2848 is flinging around at ~15-20fps.
I'm not entirely happy with the tool options on the left - there's a lot of numbers and spin buttons - but I guess it's not completely out of the question.
Actually I was also looking at putting tool options there which is why it's shown up there in the first place. But i'm not sure about that yet - if I do that then most tool options will really need to be per-image otherwise the behaviour will be a little odd. I'm not sure if this is desirable. For example if you set the tool to 'pen' you might reasonably expect it to be 'pen' on another window. Or maybe you might not - it probably doesn't matter either way.

Around the holidays, I took a cutting off a large dieffenbachia my sister received after my grandmother passed — we don't think it's the exact same plant my grandmother had in her house as I was growing up, but it's probably a direct descendant of it. I was excited to have a progeny of the same plant. I've been patiently waiting without too much interference, but it was about time to either acknowledge the experiment had failed or "graduate" it to better conditions for a rooted cutting.
This is the cutting off the parent plant. It has slowly dropped several leaves before the new leaf at the top started to unravel about a month ago; but after just a short bit, it stopped opening, and another lower leaf started to yellow and drop. I wasn't quick to cut it off, letting it die off in due time… but I noticed the "new leaf" that is half unfurled not only stopped progress, the part that is visible now looks an unhealthy pale green. That's not the best sign.
On the upside, I could tell from the fact that the stalk seemed steadier in the pot that it seemed like it had rooted; so a few weeks ago I took it into my head that the problem might be that the soil is now too damp. I dug down in the pot (very carefully) to clear a few inches of soil off the top now that it didn't need as much support in an effort to help it dry out faster. While I was doing that, I nudged around with my fingers to see if I can feel roots. I located at least one large'ish tap root, but realized a few things:
- The plant was sitting mucher lower in the pot than I remembered. I don't know if it sank as the soil compressed with watering, or if I had really set it so low, but the cut bottom of the stem was nearly at the bottom of the pot. I wanted to move this plant higher in the pot so the roots had room to grow down.
- The "soil" in the pot was very heavy on sphagnum moss. That seemed like a good idea for the fresh cutting, to retain moisture and humidity while it rooted; but after seeing it, I was starting to think the yellowing and dropping leaves might actually be from "overwatering" if it was staying waterlogged now that it's rooted.
So I decided it was time to check progress and "graduate" if it had actually rooted. One good sign is that even though the original new leaf has yet to completely unravel, there does seem to be a new shoot emerging from the top of the stalk.
Happily, I found that there's quite a bit of root growth all around the bottom of the stem. Most of them are still pretty thick, so there isn't a very good network of feeder roots, but enough to anchor it. I removed some of the big clumps of spaghnum from the original mix, put in a nice bottom layer, mixed in some pine bark chips into what was remaining to improve drainage, gave it a bit of fresh soil mixed in, some pine chip top dressing, cleaned up the dead leaf, and back it goes.
It's not getting boisterous growth yet, but it does seem like it's progressing, which is good for December through May. Hopefully as spring and summer kick in we're ready now for the prime growth season and it gets nice and established.
As far as the other cuttings from the fall and winter (an attempt to propagate a sanseviera and a schefflera) – no news. They haven't explicitly failed, but no new growth to speak of… yet!

no, i didnt mix things up--when i took off for my teeth to be done--i got $--casue they had short term disablity on me--i was on fmla-so i didnt get points, lose my position and such--they gave me flack about it -because i didnt tell them 45 days in advance and the dr signed everything 3 times-LOL and they HAD to APPROVE IT through the company--even after dr said yes. its was an accident that caused it--i couldnt eat and such- i would have died in 45 days without food and water- girl next to me had her baby- got fmla(which maternity leave is considered now) for same reason as i- not to lose her position in company--and used her short term dis paid her when she was off--only $160/week--but it was better then nothing-- so our company does both at once???? thats what i said!!!! OUR COMAPNY PAYS US BECAUSE HE PAYS OUR SHORT TERM DISABILITY FOR US--so they do the paperwork--we just get it signed by the dr.. as far as cancer and such--we have had some just go on fmla till teh paperwork for the longterm disbability came through..
that is possible that my employer does pay her--cause he pays for us to have short term disability. its still that some people abuse the ssytem that sucks about it- and to give 1 employee heck about usuing it for 1 day for 16 teeth being pulled (2impacted wisdom teeth) and to let this other woman just say--OH, the temps up--look at my paper- i gotta leave-PLEASE!???!!

Brian W. McCann, I get asked over and over about what I do when I'm performing a health check on a domain controller. Below you will see some of the commands that I use when I need to ensure my domain controllers are still healthy after some sort of change…like patching.
The Event Viewer is always a must. I look at all the logs before and after the update to the domain controller looking for abnormal events. With the pre-check I usually go back a month of logs to get more historical data. I then run through a couple command line utilities. One thing I always do is pipe my commands out to a text document. This just makes it easier for me to read and also search for failed events.
Dcdiag.exe /v >> c:\temp\pre_dcdiag.txt
This is a must and will always tell you if there is trouble with your DCs and/or services associated with it
Netdiag.exe /v >> c:\temp\pre_Netdiag.txt
This will let me know if there are issues with the networking components on the DC. This along with the post test also is a quick easy way to ensure the patch I just installed is really installed (just check the top of the log)
Netsh dhcp show server >> c:\temp\pre_dhcp.txt
Some may not do this but I've felt the pain of a DHCP server somehow not being authorized after a patch. This allows me verify the server count and names.
Repadmin /showreps >> c:\temp\pre_rep_partners.txt
This shows all my replication and if it was successful or not. Just be aware that Global Catalogs will have more info here than a normal domain controller.
repadmin /replsum /errorsonly >> c:\temp\pre_repadmin_err.txt
This is the one that always takes forever but will let you know who you are having issues replicating with.
After I run and check the pre_ scripts I update my server. When it is done I run post_ scripts which are the same thing but this allows me to verify them against the scripts earlier.

As a designer I've always been interested in vintage illustrations and advertisements of all kinds. My very first homemade soap gift bags had a Victorian illustration of a clawfoot tub on the label that I scanned out of … Victorian Goods and Mechandise: 2,300 illustrations, the book if you can imagine!
WAIT!! Jeez, it's been that long I'm totally wrong but I've gone to the trouble of linking the first one so I'll leave it because it's a great resource! The CORRECT book that I shamefully infringed upon because I did not know any better at the time? and it was for gifts so…um. Embarrassing.
Health And Beauty The Natural Way, by Nerys Purchon is a fantastic book that got me started on making bath oils,tub tea and soap. My copy is falling apart if that's any indication. It's full of recipes and guidelines for safely making your own products, which I love doing and I will be sharing lots about that too.
I've been looking through some public domain pictures and books and there's so much cool stuff out there that I think I'll share some if only because I can, and because I may want to use it some day for a T-shirt or a label or whatever. So I'm building a little library I guess. I'm going to try to only use public domain and creative commons for now, I will always include the copyright info with whatever I share. If you see something that shouldn't be here or is missing info please let me know.

Spoutnik is a local alternative cinema in the heart of Jonction (in the back end of L'Usine). F and I went there a few weeks ago to watch In Jackson Heights, a documentary about a diverse, multicultural neighborhood in Queens, New York by the same name.
There were two aspects of Spoutnik that I loved:
- Seating: You could sit in the center of the room in classic red theater seating or you could opt for comfy couches and large armchairs instead. F and I made ourselves comfortable on a pillow-like couch!
- Cinema bar: To the right of the cinema was a small bar where you could pick up a beer or a cocktail before the start of the film.
I highly recommend watching a film at Spoutnik; it's a breath of fresh air from the conventional Pathé cinemas around the city.
Jackson Heights
In Jackson Heights was a film quilt of stories. They do a great job of describing the film on the late Roger Ebert's film review site so I won't reinvent the wheel:
Children play on a playground in Jackson Heights, Queens, running through sprinklers, batting at oversized chimes. Parents and sitters look on. On another street in the neighborhood, people march to protest a local restaurant that denied service to a transgender woman. In a mosque, men pray and listen to a sermon. Soccer fans gather outside an electronics store with a huge flatscreen TV in the front window, watching the game; their anxious faces are reflected in the glass. At a farmer's market, stall-keepers lay out their wares and residents inspect them: tomatoes, zucchini, strawberries, cherries. In a halal restaurant, a man butchers and plucks chickens and ducks. In a city councilman's office, a woman listens patiently on the phone to a constituent who has a problem and tries to let her know as politely as possible that she's not agreeing or disagreeing with her, she's just listening.
The sun rises on Jackson Heights. The sun sets. The sun rises and sets again. The city noise creates its own abstract collage of music and sound: salsa, marimba, jazz, soul, sirens, cell phone rings, alarms, the hiss of city buses braking and the whine of their acceleration, the rumble and rattle of elevated trains.
One thing about the film that struck me in particular was the way Spanish is portrayed: we see Spanish speakers from different backgrounds, with varying levels of proficiency in the language, from the most proper spoken Spanish to the very broken varieties, peppered with anglicisms and characterized by strong American accents. It's certainly very representative of the state of Spanish in the U.S. (we could dedicate an entire post to this but I'll end it there).
Before the documentary started, F mistakenly checked how long the film would be. Disclaimer: it's a whopping 190 minutes! Yep, that's 3 hours and 10 minutes of watching people go about their days in New York, having regular conversations, with no particular plot-line. Perhaps what disappointed me was that I expected some sort of resolution to the film, or at least that the different stories would somehow converge in the end – but they didn't.

Medicare was always meant to be expanded to every USA citizen. Fifty-two years is long enough to wait. Medicare uses only 6% of it's budget for administrative costs, has the lowest fraud rate and lower procedure costs than any corporate health care insurance plan... which typically spends 25 to 30% of it's budget on administrative costs: massive advertising, $100 million a year CEO's, and massive paperwork designed to deny claims and cancel "non-profitable" policies.
Meanwhile, the USA is ranked #37 among top-40 nations that provide a system of short and long-term care, and protect people from financial ruin due to medical expenses. In fact, more than 600,000 people every year go bankrupt in the USA due to unpaid medical bills, and the majority had "insurance" when they first became sick or injured. Bottom line: 80% of people in nursing homes no longer have any money and the federal government is paying for their care via Medicaid. Is that any way to treat our people?

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education is no longer an unfamiliar term to educators worldwide. Schools and institutions in Finland have recognised the importance of ICT and, therefore, ICT solutions are applied in schools not only as a pedagogical tool for teachers but also for students' skills development. With the new Core Curriculum, there is an even stronger emphasis on ICT solutions in the classroom.
A tool for learning
ICT is introduced both at school and at home to develop the students' ICT competence in various areas: supporting students to practice ICT skills in producing and completing their assignments, learning about new software, updating the new platforms and digital media. Students are also guided through information collection and management, interaction and networking in safe and responsible ways. In the meantime, teachers, staffs and parents play the role of facilitators and guardians who assist the children in studying, practising and creating their work. If schools cannot provide students with enough devices during hours at school, students can use their own with permission from their parents and when the teacher sees it fit. All efforts are spent to make sure kids have possibilities for accessing and using ICT solutions in learning.
A tool for teaching
ICT is sometimes considered to happen only at the Computer Science subject, where students learn about using computers, keyboard skills, software, basic text production, etc. Nevertheless, ICT solutions can be widely used by teachers for a pedagogical purpose. Particularly in Finland, teachers are given autonomy to give lessons using the software, platform or tool that will help them to deliver the topic in a more fascinating way and to make the lessons more innovative. Students also benefit from those ICT combined lessons with more inspiration and motivation for learning. Thanks to the help of ICT, both teachers and students can produce their creative work and manage the process together and independently.
ICT solutions in education and many other topics will be discussed during KOULU Group's EduVenture event in Helsinki, Finland September 2017. Learn more and join us at https://koulugroup.com/eduventure/

The telecom audit provides a business with a snapshot of their organization, usually over the course of the previous six months. So what happens after the audit? How can a company be assured they won't fall down the rabbit hole again? Once companies figure out why their telecom expenses are out of control, they can begin to figure out how to fix it. The first step is determining the amount of money spent on telecom expenses. If that number is over a million dollars per year, investing in a telecom expense management (TEM) system is one way to start.Last modified on
