Tuesday, November 30, 2010
I spent a significant amount of my day yesterday boiling over with child-like excitement. The thought of using the Kinect and playing Dance Central swirled through my brain. And the final verdict, my preemptive joy was totally justified. Here's the breakdown of what to expect from the device itself.
This thing has motion sensors, face recognition, and voice activation. All this means that it is not a plug and play accessory. Expect to spend about an hour setting it up. Between rearranging your furniture and the endless calibrations, give yourself the time to get it all ready before you invite all your friends to play. Otherwise, your Kinect party is going to be at a pretty serious standstill.
Remember all that hype about needing to empty out your living room to play ? Its all true. We created a floor space of about 10-11 feet from the television and still ended up playing up against the back. There are a few tricks to remedy this. Supposedly, mounting the Kinect higher up with a slightly downward facing angle means that you can get closer to the screen. Look for lots of reliable (and surprisingly cheap) mounts and stands already available. But this system can still be problematic for extremely tall people and the kids in the family. Before you dump a couple hundred on this for your demanding two year old, check the height recommendations first.
There were rumors flying around about the Kinect being racist. Somehow, the camera couldn't tell if there was a Black person with especially dark skin playing. What people don't realize, is that lighting is important. If you have super dark skin and you stand in a dark room with no lights, Surprise genius, its not going to work. If your friends can barely see you, why would a camera across the room ? But the same is true in reverse. If people with exceptionally pale skin stand with the windows open and the hot sunlight flooding the room, the camera won't be able to detect them either. Between the intense light and heat, you are going to be lost to the sensors. So if the lighting is well controlled, that NAACP boycott you were trying organize won't be necessary.
But after all of that, prepare for awesomeness. You can shift through menus using your hands or the voice activation. There is also Kinect chat, although this is less impressive. It operates basically the same way that the regular XBL chat works. And you can look for a review of Dance Central very, very soon. I won't start it here, just know that it was probably some of the most ridiculous fun I have had in awhile.
So the long and short is that you should definitely spend the money to get this accessory. Its crazy fun and worth the price. There is no possible way you could regret bouncing up and down like an epileptic and recording it.

No, I have no idea if your child is demanding or not. But anyone who happens to a short, bossy child, should seriously think before they get one.
The controls and stuff arent perfect, but its the first generation so thats to be expected. But its some of the most unbridled fun I have had in a long time.

I went this week to two strangely contrasting book launches, with a unifying theme.
The first was on Tuesday at "The Society Club" - a rather fascinating bookshop at 12 Ingestre Place in Soho - for "How to Wear White" by Francesca Beauman. She's written an intriguing book aimed at women getting married - peppered with good advice, and also unexpected and bizarre statistics that relate in some way to marriage - for example a table of champagne consumption by bottle for every country in the world for last year. I am extremely fond of Fran and have known her for all of her life, so I never miss any of her book launches (this must be her fourth or fifth). You can buy her book here.
Fran's husband James Bobin directed the very successful Muppets film that came out last year, and he's half way through making the next one. For me perhaps his greater claim to fame is that he co-wrote and directed "Flight of the Conchords". It was fun therefore to find Jemaine Clement at the book launch party.
The Society Club also quite distractingly above its bookcases was having an exhibition of Bob Carlos Clarke pictures - I spent most of the evening making polite conversation whilst being quite distracted by pictures of girls naked save for various bits of PVC clothing. All very jolly.
The second was the next evening at Boodles - another club but not one in which you would ever find Bob Carlos Clarke pictures. This was to launch the publication of a book about the history of Boodles written by David Mann, who died last year, and other contributors. The book is a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the foundation of the club.
Boodles, like so many other London clubs, is entirely comfortable, seductive and appealing on the one hand; and absolutely appalling and retrograde on the other. It's the sort of club in which gentleman have to wear coats and ties; in which women have been grudgingly tolerated and only then in recent times, and occupy a second class role if at all; and in which it helps if you were at the right school, the right university, the right regiment, speak in the right accent, have the right family, etc. Despite precisely meeting all these requirements I can't quite relate to these places. The charming wife of the president of the club told me that she thought I probably wasn't old enough yet (I am past my first half century!) and that she thought the club was an extremely useful place because it got her husband out of the house and meant she did not have to cook him dinner.
All of that said, I did meet some very urbane and open minded people at the launch party, and enjoyed some conversations about music, and the future of Europe.
I then drifted into conversation with quite a large group of men who were describing to me very animatedly how wonderful they thought "Nigel" was, and what fun he had been at dinner the night before. It was only when one of them began telling me how there were enough immigrants in the country now, and perhaps we should even encourage some of them to leave, that I realised "Nigel" was of course Mr. Farage of UKIP. As frequently happens they made the categorical error of believing that because I looked and spoke like them, I might share their reprehensible views. The conversation went from bad to worse at that point, and so with my prejudices about the moral bankruptcy that inhabits the rotten core of these institutions entirely reinforced, I left.
The unifying theme, lest you should wonder, is family. Fran is my cousin and David was my uncle.

The Black Sheep: Of the several yarn stores in Orlando, this one is mine. At least, I like to pretend it is. After all, my name is written in the concrete of the parking lot (really...the building used to be Track Shack). But seriously, I love the cozy feel of this small yarn/needlepoint shop. I can always find some tempting yarns in gorgeous colours. Also, they are very willing to order yarns in different colours if I need them. The owner, Anne, is always willing to talk yarn and knitting with me. A reader of my blog, she almost always know just what I'm looking for when I visit (and wasn't surprised when I brought in the yarn from my ball-winding fiasco to ask to use the store's winder).
Best Blog: While I won't actually be leaving this behind, I did want to give a shout-out to my fave Orlando blog, Analog Artist, Digital World, by Thomas Thorspecken. Thor is a local sketch artist that posts a sketch every day on his blog. I'm not an expert on art, but I love his style of drawing; it seems to look beyond what is right in front of your face. In fact, I have three sketches of his that will be accompanying me to grad school. Also, his posts have directed me to several events in Orlando I wouldn't have found otherwise.
Brian Feldman: I first met Brian Feldman at a tweet-up. Since then, I've been involved in such crazy shenanigans as the Singing Menorah, 67 Books, and a Staring Contest. Brian is incredibly creative, and more than just a rebel without a cause. His performances often have a serious purpose behind them.
Track Shack/Track Shack Events: Sure, I work there (okay, more than just work there), but I love it too. I wouldn't be able to spend all day helping promoting it if I didn't believe in what the company does. Nearly daily I get read a story about how the right pair of shoes, or a group training program, or an event helped change somebody's life into a happier, healthier one. Also, I just love the atmosphere of the races. I've been around runners and races literally since the day I was born, and I never get tired of it.
Power House Cafe: Nature's Best with organic peanut butter and chocolate chips=best smoothie EVER! (in Winter Park, so not Orlando, strictly speaking, but close enough)
NYGKG: Not Your Grandmother's Knitting Group. These ladies and guy have been a great support group this past year. Knitting brings us together once a week, but the conversation and friendship keep us coming back.
My job as an AVID tutor: I loved the opportunity I had to work with middle school children. Even though some days were frustrating, it was always worth it for the days when I got to see a light bulb turn on. I'm going to miss the students I worked with a lot; in fact, I'm going to miss them so much that this job almost kept me in Orlando for the upcoming school year.
The 2, 3, and 4 (okay, 3.7) mile loop: These are the running routes my parents used to run with me in a baby jogger and that I run now. I know them forward and backwards, and there is a kind of comfort in their familiarity. Guess it's time to blaze my own trails now.
My OCC Family: Orlando Community Church has been my church since I was born, and it was wonderful to be back after four years away. The members are all great, caring people, many of whom helped me deal with my disappointment of not getting into grad school. I'll especially miss all the kids I've watched grow up and have taught in my Sunday School class.
Living at Home: Well, I'll kind of miss this. Some things for sure, others, not so much.

Happy Thanksgiving!
So. Things I am thankful for:
Good friends. I am blessed in that I have a great bunch of friends at work. Yes, I have friends outside of work, but I spent the majority of my time in the school building, and it's nice to be surrounded by people I adore.
My family. I talk about them here a lot, and it's not always positive. But Hubby and the Terrors give meaning to my life, as cliched as that sounds.
Electricity. Normally, this does not make my top ten. But this weekend, the power has been going off annoyingly often. Suddenly, I see how much of my life requires power!
Hot water. I, due to power issues, had a lukewarm shower running to cold this morning. Yup, I love me some hot water.
My new car. We purchased a Nissan Rogue on Friday, and I have found tons of reasons to go outside. I've gone to the dump. I went out for coffee. I'm excited to go grocery shopping.
Music. When I'm tootling around town in my new! red! car! I have the ipod plugged in, and I'm bopping away.
Turkey leftovers. I'm off now to have a delicious turkey sandwich, with a side of pumpkin pie. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well, yer annoying happy and chipper! ;) Seriously, dude, can't let life get you down. In time you'll see that your new! red! car! is useful and beautiful in it's own way. Hope your week picks up! Cheers!
(BTW, you can sense sarcasm, can't you???? :P Just jealous about the new! red! car!)
So nice to see you so bouncy. I think that was you... a bright!red!blur! just whizzed by, throwing off wafts of muuUUUSsSSiC.
Happy Thanksgiving! We didn't have turkey, settled for a pork roast, roast veggies, mashed potatoes. Cranberry sauce goes VERY well with pork. Pumpkin pie and whipped cream for dessert, OF COURSE.
(I had the reverse problem with my turkey last Christmas: it was ready two hours BEFORE the company arrived. It was... crunchy by the time they arrived. Which is one reason for the pork on Monday!)

I've always been kind of curious about the Canadian Thanksgiving. I never really knew if it was similar to ours. You spend the day eating turkey and pie, watching football and bickering with family? I guess it's about the same.
I'm glad you enjoyed yours.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too….

little bird readers – a book subscription service
A few of my children's favourite things:
- story time with a passionate storyteller (the ability to create a different voice for each character is a bonus)
- evocative, compelling, colourful picture books
- packages in the mail
I'm not sure if Dr Amy Scott realised she was ticking so many boxes when she created Little Bird Readers but in doing so she has made my kids genuinely happy (and the mood is contagious!).
Little Bird Readers is New Zealand's first children's book subscription service. The idea first sprouted when Amy was watching a children's play and one of the characters mentioned a book subscription: "For the rest of the performance I was completely distracted by thoughts of sending books in the mail!"
She shelved the concept for a few years but revived it when she became a mother; reading to her daughter was just the inspiration she needed to get the business off the ground.
"Every month I thoughtfully curate beautiful and engaging books for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and families, and pair them with a literacy development tip card. These tip cards contain simple but effective ideas for things you can do when sharing the book with your child, to help support their reading development, no matter how young they are," she says.
Along with the tip card, subscribers also get access to the exclusive section on the website, which houses more activities, ideas and articles to help you and your child get the most from your subscription. Amy (a Speech Pathologist with a PhD in Education) utilises her expertise in speech, language and literacy development, to ensure the tip cards and exclusive content are age appropriate and supportive of well-rounded development of essential language and literacy skills.
"Little Bird Readers is not about teaching children to read, rather, I am focused on supporting parents to provide the best early literacy experiences possible for their little birds, to help them grow into confident and enthusiastic readers and communicators," says Amy.
As soon as Amy reached out to me I knew that I had the answer to many of your Christmas gift dilemmas. Because if you're anything like me, you've spent the last few Christmas's wishing that the gifts could be spread out so as not to be so overwhelming (and under-appreciated) on the day. This, my friends, is the solution!
Once a month for three, six or twelve months, a quality children's book will arrive on your doorstep addressed to your little one. A personalised note will be attached and each book comes with a tip card so that you, the storyteller, can be inspired to take the story beyond the pages. A subscription also gives you access to exclusive online content so you can be informed about all things literature for little ones.
It's the perfect gift, in my opinion – expanding imaginations and building libraries, one book at a time.
Amy admits becoming a mother has significantly changed her perspective on children's books.
"…I now spend so much of my day reading children's books, and it's become really important to me that the books I read with Ivy are mutually enjoyable! There are plenty of books out there that she is happy to look through by herself, usually with simple pictures and very few words. But, if we are going to sit down and share a book together, I want it to be something that I think is beautiful, and engaging, and has morals and values that align with my own. Because of this, I am always so careful to choose books for LBR that, along with being developmentally-appropriate, fit these criteria – they must be beautiful to look at, with engaging illustrations, excellent language, and a storyline that feels right."
Amy's favourite books (an ever-changing list) for babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and older children include:
- Anything by Oliver Jeffers, with his quirky illustrations and hilarious stories, are great – at the moment we love 'A Little Stuck' and 'The Way Back Home'.
- Alison Jay's wordless books (a favourite in our house is 'Welcome to the Zoo') are fantastic, as they elicit so much discussion from older children, and younger ones love the detailed pictures that tell their own story.
- Donovan Bixley is a New Zealand illustrator, who adds a fantastically unique kiwi twist to classic nursery rhymes. His 'Wheels on the Bus' and 'Old Macdonald's Farm' are on constant rotation in our house.
- I love the Iggy Peck, Architect/Rosie Revere, Engineer/Ada Twist, Scientist series for their diverse characters, and fantastic role modelling for kids to explore interesting and challenging career paths, and follow their dreams. David Roberts is one of my favourite illustrators, and his illustrations really bring these books alive.
- Big Picture Press does an amazing selection of non-fiction books for older toddlers and preschoolers that have absolutely captivating pictures and engaging text. The books are like a trip to the best kind of museum, without even leaving the couch. My favourite two are Animalium and Maps. These oversized beauties are well worth checking out!
This is a sponsored post. Thank you, so much, for supporting the small businesses that so generously support me.
How did you know I have just uprooted the family and shifted to NZ?! Perfect grandparent gift 🙂 Thank you!
LOVE this idea! Is it available in Australia?
What an absolutely brilliant idea. Such a wonderful xmas present. I hope they ship to Australia

Our coastal areas are under constant development pressure, suffer from pollution, and face new challenges brought on by climate change, including sea level rise, ocean warming, and acidification. The National Wildlife Federation currently has a strong program working with partners on the restoration of the coastal wetlands of the Mississippi River Delta, on the ecological restoration of the Gulf of Mexico in the aftermath of the 2010 BP oil disaster, and on coastal resilience along the Atlantic Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. We plan to expand this work with the long-term goal that coastal ecosystems are managed to reduce impacts of climate change and other coastal hazards in ways that protect coastal communities, economies, and important fish and wildlife habitat.
The National Wildlife Federation's goal, as laid out in our strategic plan, is to protect and restore coastal ecosystems to sustain fisheries and wildlife and to protect people and wildlife from rising sea levels and intensifying coastal storms. We plan to do this by:

The Congregation of Notre Dame International Justice Network has determined that a major focus of our Justice efforts in the coming year throughout the Community will be Climate Change. We have a unique opportunity to participate in an historical movement to draw attention to the effects of Climate Change. While September 21 is International Peace Day and this year marks the 30th Anniversary of the General Assembly's Declaration of the Right of People to Peace, September 21 also marks the day for the Climate Change March in NYC. As the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network stated, "..the People's Climate March seeks to 'bend the course of history, drawing global attention and exerting direct pressure on attendees of the UN Climate Summit. WECAN encourages everyone who is able to march with us on this momentous day as we mobilize for the rights of women, indigenous peoples, nature, and future generations." I hope our Province will be well represented in this March. Let us make every effort to do our part to bend the course of history.
In a related action, the Congregation of Notre Dame International Justice Network voted to endorse Global Frackdown Day, October 11, 2014. It is extraordinary and somewhat alarming how the practice of fracking has expanded not only within our country, or on our continent, but also in the rest of the world as well. Until we can fully assess the consequences of fracking, it seems prudent, even necessary to ban it. I will be sending more information on this. In the meanwhile, you can find additional information at www.globalfrackdown.org
I received a note from our Sisters in Japan thanking us for the donations our Province made to their "relief fund." Thanks to your generosity, checks of $4,000.00 and $300.00 were sent. The first check is to support scholarships in our Fukushima schools and to support the new ministry of reaching out to those elderly family members who are living alone and isolated from their families. The second check was for a donation to the Fukushima Badge Project. As a part of the Justice Network Report from Japan, special mention was made of the efforts of our Kankakee Associates to reach out in solidarity to Japanese Associates. Our Prayer Partners Program was also mentioned. Don't forget that Fukushima continues to feel the terrible effects of March 11, 2011. I promised we wouldn't forget.
Finally, some thought provoking facts – LCWR reports that:
Women in this country are 11 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than women in any other developed country. Five women are murdered with guns every day in the United States, most often by their intimate partners.
The profits gained from forced labor, human trafficking, and slavery are producing profits of $150 billion annually, or more than three times the estimated profits of 2005.
Unfortunately, it is still true that…"Everywhere the Flight into Egypt goes on: the little home is forsaken, the child in peril, the innocents slain: everywhere the refugees - Jesus, Mary, Joseph, come to us: strangers, foreigners in a strange land…" The Reed of God by Caryll Houselander

Objectives. In this research, we investigate whether social comparison with younger people can result in either a stereotype-based threat or boost in older people's performance.
Methods. Study 1 used nationally representative data to establish domains of performance in which older people are either stereotypically disadvantaged or advantaged relative to younger people. Study 2 was an experiment to test how a potentially threatening versus control versus enhancing comparison with younger people would affect performance in negatively and positively stereotyped task domains.
Results. As predicted, compared with the control condition, stereotype threat caused performance decrements in both task domains. This effect was partially mediated by anxiety. Moreover, the enhancing social comparison boosted performance, but only on a crossword task, a task on which older people's abilities are favorably stereotyped.
Discussion. The research demonstrates that a threatening comparison can result in underperformance by older people both in negatively and positively self-stereotyped task domains. It also demonstrates that social comparison with younger people can enhance older people's performance in a positively stereotyped task domain. The implications for creating circumstances likely to enable older people to achieve their full potential are discussed.

Fire Resistant Sliding Door
The fire-resistant sliding door is an excellent solution for situations where high fire-resistant is required combined with specific end user design needs.
The maximum fire-resistant will depend on the size and model of the door, ranges up to 90 minutes (for the EI(1) requirement), based on two-sided testing in accordance with EN 1634-1, or 120 minutes (for the EI(2) and EW requirements).
The sliding door can optionally be manufactured as a double wing sliding door, with both wings sliding in the same direction or away from each other, or as a telescopic sliding door, with several wings sliding parallel with each other. A unique feature of this door is the option to integrate it with an emergency exit door, without a threshold, thereby allowing the fire-resistant sliding door to be incorporated into a building's emergency escape route.
The fire-resistant sliding door comes standard as a manually operated door fitted with a speed controller and integrated magnetic door catch. However, the sliding door can optionally be fitted with an electric drive system. The sliding doors can also be fitted with a special drive and motion detectors to make the doors suitable for high frequency use.
The fire-resistant sliding door has successfully undergone two-sided smoke resistance testing at Efectis Nederland in accordance with EN 1634-3 at both Sa 20 (cold smoke at approx. 20 degrees Celsius) and Sm 200 (hot smoke at approx. 200 degrees Celsius).
- Steel tube frame bonded to the fire resistant plating
- Horizontal sliding rail system
- Activation via 24V fire alarm connection

Hi! Hello! Greetings! und Guten Tag! [Profit-Share venture] Platform PC, PS4
A few of us are working on a really cool game based around the concept of ruling your own little slice of hell, and building it too!
If you're a fan of games such as dungeon keeper, evil genius and other buildy management type minion games that…don't come to mind. We'd love to have you on this project!
The core concept I'm really trying to push home is REALISM,
NOT "oh I'm digging for gold so I can buy a demon". THERE IS NO GOLD IN THIS GAME! or digging of any kind…
-More like 'I have some souls, now what demons can I barter with in order to recruit them to my service, what political advantage can I gain by sending souls to this demon lord, or Who can I trade with to increase my abilities?'
FYI souls have many more uses than just trade, politics and abilities, but you'll have to read the GDD to know that 🙂
Ah yes and I have a concept for "ASSET-COMBINATION" meaning you build say a Lavapit/Firepit/Lavalake "not figured the name yet" where souls burn in immortal agony and then just to spice things up, throw in a giant demon that you spent several hundred souls on bringing into your service. Fun for everyone!
One more thing about the game, there are RPG elements that are equally as important to the games structure, so if you like any RPG game, you'll hopefully love working on this!
To sum up, this is a 3D, isometric, "dungeon" management type game with RPG, time travel elements and a political system and much, much more!
Currently we're working on the demo.
Who I'm Looking For…
NOT the useless. I had a much larger team than I have now, but the lack of commitment made them fade and flutter away before we even started. So if you're going to join, make sure you're going to stick with it.
People with talent, So the few guys I have left are really good, and I'd like to continue that trend, I don't expect perfection from the outset, just the effort to try.
Now the people who I'm really hurting for are a…
Rigger: Not actually checked to see if the coder I have can do this, but he's already got enough to do, so if you're a Rigger, then I definitely need you.
UNITY Programmers: The guy I have is currently making the models for naked tortured souls AND he's supposed to code the game on his lonesome? come on have a heart people!
Level Designer: Currently I'm going to have to do this, but if you're a level designer then there is a place for you.
3D Modeller: You'll be modelling various demons of various sizes, object assets, maybe the odd angel, and questing hero. Oh and a HUGH Abaddon and some type of Lucifer.
Not sure what category fire effects and stuff to that…affect, come under, but if you can do it, then I want you also!
If you think you might love to work on this project even if I haven't listed your job role here, still get in touch I may have a spot for you!
Oh and when you email me, please tell me what role or roles you're wanting to fill, it's rather annoying when I have to guess.

Another teaser from the dog training book that isn't a dog training book…
In the Beginning
I warned you that this is not a dog training book, and here's an extended NOT dog training section. You can skip it. I'll never know and I wouldn't blame you.
My Dad died when I was five years old. He was diagnosed with melanoma when I was two and he died in October, six months after my fifth birthday. He was 39. He was from Brooklyn, NY (I think just about everyone's parents or grandparents were from Brooklyn – right?) and his parents still lived there. Maybe six weeks after his death, my Mom took my sister and me to Radio City Music Hall for an evening out with my grandparents. We arrived home to find out home had been robbed.
The sliding glass door was open, November chill invading our playroom. The kitchen door had a glass window in it; broken glass and blood on the kitchen floor told that story. All our dresser drawers were pulled open and ransacked, spent matches were strewn around and dirty smudges decorated all the hallway walls. A camera and some jewelry were missing, but the unsettled sense deep in my gut was much worse than the material loss. We were all pretty shook up.
My grandfather told my mom to get a gun. For Mom, that was unthinkable. Her brother, my Uncle Michael, suggested we adopt his dog, a burly black and white German Shepherd Dog (GSD) named Zorba. Michael didn't have a lot of time to exercise and play with Zorba and a family setting with young children seemed ideal. Zorba was gorgeous, ridiculously friendly, and a ball-crazy high-drive lunatic. I was six years old when he arrived.
Zorba was an adult dog, and required very little from us in terms of formal training. Smart as a whip, and so eager to play ball, Zorba was a breeze to live with. I don't remember any real challenges, although Mom did coach me to drop the leash and let him go when we walked him in the state park. Squirrels or rabbits plus cliffs and ledges equaled "let him go" for my mom. I guess she had visions of six year old me attempting to hang on while Zorbie flew down the mountain after a bunny. Thankfully nothing of the sort ever happened and Zorba was a good boy right up until he ran headlong into a tree (chasing a ball) and ended up dying from complications.
When Mom told Uncle Michael that Zorba had passed away, Michael offered us another dog. His female GSD, Gypsy, recently had puppies. Michael picked us out a gregarious male and my sister named him Vinnie Barbarino. That was the extent of her involvement with him, though. Vinnie was my project.
I was about ten years old when Vinnie flew into John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City. He promptly escaped from his airline kennel and roamed JFK, all gangly puppy legs and gigantic ears. He was located, and made friends with the airline workers who led him to Mom and me on a length of rope someone found for the purpose, his leash and collar long disappeared. Vinnie was going to be a project.
Although Mom was no stranger to dog ownership, Vinnie was a challenge. He was much drivier than Zorba or any dog my mom's parents had owned. He was smart, intense, and full of beans. He picked up house breaking without issue, but getting a handle on his chewing and puppy mouthiness was more difficult. After he shredded a blouse the same day my sister bought it at Saks Fifth Avenue, Mom was ready to ask for help.
We contacted Carol Benjamin and set up private lessons. Mom and I went, and learned from Carol how to harness Vinnie's intense energy and get him engaged with us in a much more positive way. We signed up for the on leash obedience class at Rockland Community College and that first night Vinnie was a disaster. Distracted, and utterly uninterested in working with me, I lasted about 10 minutes before storming off to cry in the corner. A very bewildered Carol took over for me while my Mom died a thousand deaths of embarrassment.
By the end of the eight or ten week session (or whatever it was) Vinnie was the best in the class. He was a robot (that's a compliment), performing every command with precision. We took Carol's off leash obedience class and Vinnie was amazing. He and I had figured it out. Exercising him and training him were my after school "chores." Vinnie and I hiked and rambled daily, running up Hook Mountain after school and exploring the woods when we didn't have time to hit the Hook's summit.
My success with Vinnie was big news in our small community, partly because I was a petite kid and he was a big boy. Passersby would ask me if I wanted a saddle for my pony, yuk yuk yuk. By the time I was about 12, I had my first ever paying job: training a neighbor's GSD – a young male named Detlef, imported from Germany. Detlef was a piece of work. He had destroyed his owner's kitchen, tearing all the sheetrock off the walls and consuming rather a lot of it. His owner didn't have time to run up Hook Mountain with him… so he was pretty frustrated and bored.
I failed miserably with Detlef, but I understood why. He didn't need training. He needed play and exercise and hiking and bones to chew. He wasn't a lunatic or a bad dog; he was a good dog that wasn't getting his basic needs met. Asking him to be a good boy while his owner was at work all day was like asking him to do trigonometric equations. He was just too pent up to focus.
Success with Vinnie and failure with Detlef: early childhood experiences are referred to as formative, and in this case my most basic approach to dogs was indeed formed by "working" with these two GSD pups. Not unlike humans, I come from the school of thought that all living beings learn and "perform" best when their needs are met. Don't ask me to braid your hair or give you a ride to the mall when I'm hungry or haven't slept; similarly, you can't ask a GSD puppy to be a good boy when his needs for chewing, running, etc. have not been met.
Most of the dog training books I read stressed this as well. Both Donaldson and Behan discuss basic dog needs: running/chasing and gripping/chewing. They stress the need to satisfy dogs, to provide opportunities for them to experience satiation of these predatory urges. They talk about ways to do this, such as playing fetch and tug, and doing things that simulate the hunt. I just say "let dogs be dogs." While much easier said than done, I have set up my life and my training (meager as it is) around finding ways to allow my dogs to be dogs, as safely as possible. My "program" if one could call it that (one friend calls it doggie boot camp!), is that simple. I make sure my dogs are enabled to be dogs and fully express their dogness every day. I still don't know why they trade their agenda for mine even in the midst of practicing this "being dogs" thing we do. But they do, reliably and completely.
Except when they don't. The exceptions stand out in high relief against the backdrop of cooperation and compliance. I can say "well, they are dogs, not robots," but the truth is if a military working dog failed to do his or her job just once, soldiers would die. Search and rescue dogs fail to do their job? People die. Livestock guardian dogs fail at their job? Livestock losses are the result. Working dogs are trained much more consistently and much more effectively than anything I do with my rag tag bunch of miscreant fools, and the dogs are much closer to perfect than mine could ever dream to be.
If my guys fail to obey me? Not much by way of consequences most of the time. Once Mica bit a hiker in a parking area (she had no teeth, so it was wasn't exactly a bite – more of a "gum"); once Vinnie tossed a yorkie around like it was a chew toy (that yorkie was fine – no injuries). A few times Hawk barked at a hiker on a trail. And most of my dogs, past and present, have been quilled by porcupines. Ok, some of my dogs have been quilled by porcupines a lot of times. One of my dogs (cough Peeka cough) has been quilled while I hollered and attempted to jump in between her and the porcupine, bellowing commands right and left, diving for her and generally enacting a slapstick comedy routine in the middle of the woods – a situation that led me to consider buying a clicker. Not for the dog. For the porcupine. Pretty sure the porkies of Bramley Mountain are more trainable and cooperative than Peeka.
I think being able to tolerate a certain amount of failure is what separates pet homes from working homes. Or at least it should. Working dogs should work – consistently and predictably. I write more about failure later on, but for me and my dogs, failure is tolerated as a stepping stone – a way to grow and learn and improve. I know I'll never have an impeccably trained, blue ribbon dog, but my goal is to stay out of the emergency room and keep the peace. The rest is gravy.

Valentine's Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Eve
New Year's Eve
- Christmas is from the Non MAU series The Spectacular Spider-Man.
In the Christian faith, Christmas is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25. It is proceeded by Christmas Eve. It is considered a joyous time full of good cheer. In English speaking parts of the world people say Merry Christmas, while in Spanish it is Feliz Navidad.
Christmas comes at the end of the year along with Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year's Eve.
In many places, it snows during the Christmas season giving rise to the idea of a white Christmas.
Many people go shopping to purchase presents. They wrap up the gifts and put it under the Christmas tree before giving them to others. Other people put them in stockings and put them on their mantle above the fireplace.
Trees come in a variety of sizes. Regular homes, like that of the Parkers, tend to have smaller trees that can fit inside. Cities and major tourist attractions, like New York City and Rockefeller Center, tend to get much larger trees that are massive in size.
One popular tradition is to put up decorations. Many people put up lights up on the trim of their house. Many lights are put up on the tree. Usually the tree is topped with an angel or star. A popular decoration is a snow globe, a small sphere filled with water that imitates snow.
A popular activity to do around Christmas time is ice skating. The Lower Plaza at Rockefeller Center puts in a large skating rink that people can skate on.
Many people sing songs such as Deck the Halls, O Little Town of Bethlehem, O Tannenbaum, and The Nutcracker Suite.
Popular drinks during the Christmas season include eggnog and hot chocolate.
Legend of Santa Claus
A popular legend for children is that of Santa Claus. He is said to live at the North Pole with his elves who make toys. He watches the children of the world and puts each one on a list. He sees if they have been naughty or nice and distributes toys accordingly.
He is often portrayed as being an old man with white hair, a long beard, heavy set, and wearing a red suit with white trim. He wears a similar red stocking cap.
On Christmas Eve Santa rides his sleigh pulled by reindeer across the world and hands out the gifts.
Often a department store will have a man dress up like Santa so the children can tell him what they want while the parents shop. Usually they will have others dress up like elves to work with Santa. They are usually stationed in an area dressed up to look like Santa's home.
After he defeated the Sinister Six as Spider-Man, Peter Parker went home with his Aunt May.
At the Ravencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane, Otto Octavius was watching a news report on the defeat of the Six. Dr. Ashley Kafka turned off the news as it was bothering Otto. Just then his tentacles burst into the Institute, captured Otto, and took him away. The breakout was actually a signal by Octavius's partner Tinkerer that the doctor's master plan was ready to begin.
That morning Peter watched a news report on how Mysterio was captured but the other five escaped. She then walked in with a plate of cookies and asked him to turn off the television.
He then got up and went to the tree to get his present to her. She opened it and saw that it was a picture of her, Peter, and her late husband Ben. She thanked him and put the picture on the mantle. They then hugged by the window as it snowed outside.

Making Hypocrites Happy
5 comments:
While showing how to witness on the street , I spoke to a lady that said she did not go to church because of too many hypocrites. I told her there was always room for one more. She laughed and agreed.ReplyDelete
- Bob ButlerDecember 21, 2011 at 8:22 PM
Amen! Yes, we waist too much time getting drained trying to please the un-pleasable. The fields are white unto harvest... sometimes it just time to move on.ReplyDelete
- Russel LambertFebruary 24, 2012 at 7:42 AM
what I hear from hypocrites the most is "we want to rebuild and reach our community." But by the time they eliminate who is acceptable in the community and who is not, there is no community left to reach.ReplyDelete
That was a quick comeback, I bet she was a bit shocked.
That is very insightful, and sadly, very correct.

An industrial hemp bill that's already been passed by Maryland's Senate has been passed through its second reading in the House of Representatives.
Senate Bill 1201 was passed Friday through its second reading in the House. The vote comes a little over two weeks after it was passed unanimously (47 to 0) by the Senate.
The proposed law would establish "an Industrial Hemp Pilot Program to authorize and facilitate the research of industrial hemp and any aspect of growing, cultivating, harvesting, processing, manufacturing, transporting, marketing, or selling industrial hemp for agricultural, industrial, or commercial purposes". It would require "the Department of Agriculture to certify and register a site that will be used to grow or cultivate industrial hemp; etc.".

I am really excited for you--you have had to wear glasses since first grade. Hopefully you'll enjoy that many years without them now. If you hadn't had the detached retina this summer, you probably wouldn't be at this point. There is a silver lining in the dark cloud after all!

That's fantastic! I'm so excited for you! I had surgery on my eyes (not as intense as yours) a couple years ago! I sat up from the table and the Dr. asked me to look at the clock on the wall and tell him the time! Instead i said, "I CAN SEE!" It felt alot like scenes we see in church films! :)

Meditation and Dharma Talk during COVID-19, from a tent in Robert's yard.
Today's Poem:
The Little Duck
By Donald C. Babcock
Now we are ready to look at something pretty special.
It is a duck riding the ocean a hundred feet beyond the surf.
No, it isn't a gull.
A gull always has a raucous touch about him.
This is some sort of duck, and he cuddles in the swells.
He isn't cold, and he is thinking things over.
There is a big heaving in the Atlantic,
And he is part of it.
He looks a bit like a mandarin, or the Lord Buddha meditating under the Bo tree.
But he has hardly enough above the eyes to be a philosopher.
He has poise, however, which is what philosophers must have.
He can rest while the Atlantic heaves, because he rests in the Atlantic.
Probably he doesn't know how large the ocean is.
And neither do you.
But he realizes it.
And what does he do, I ask you. He sits down in it.
He reposes in the immediate as if it were infinity—which it is.
That is religion, and the duck has it.
He has made himself a part of the boundless, by easing himself into it just where it
touches him.

Defibtech Pediatric Training Pad Package (1 set)
Additional Images
Defibtech Pediatric Training Pad Package (1 set)
Product Code DDP-201-TRUSA
0 reviews
In Stock
What's Included?
- 1 set of PediatricTraining Pads
Designed for use with the Defibtech Lifeline Training AED Unit, these pediatric training electrode pads provide the learner with the most realistic training experience, significantly those working in a child focused location.
By using effective training equipment, learners can get a more beneficial training experience and a deeper understanding of AEDs, how they work and how they save a child's life.
For those working in a child-focused environment, learning about children and their risk of sudden cardiac arrest is an absolute must. The training electrode pads teach learners where they should be placed in a cardiac emergency that concerns a child and how the defibrillator will operate in such situation.
Key Features
- For use exclusively with the Defibtech Lifeline Training Unit
- Realistic pads ensure learners are provided with a realistic training experience
- Clear diagrams assist the learner in placing the electrode pads
- Safely and securely stored inside foil packaging
- Reusable training pads provide the trainer with a cost-effective way to carry out AED training
How to use
In the same way that you would use live electrode pads, the pediatric training pads from Defibtech are protected and sealed until the package is opened for use. Once required for use, simply tear the foil packaging and refer to the clear diagrams on the rear of the pads for assistance when placing them on the training manikin.
The realistic design of the electrode pads ensures that learner receives realistic and expert training and knowledge from their training course. These pads, unlike live electrode pads, are reusable, providing the trainer with a cost-effective way to deliver multiple training courses.
More Information
If you would like more information about the pediatric training pad package, the friendly and knowledgeable defibshop team are on hand to assist.

What is an IP rating?
An IP (Ingress Protection) rating classifies the degrees of protection of an electrical item against water and dust. Beginning with IP and followed by two numbers, the first digit is indicative of the item's resistance to dust and the second is of its resistance to water. Protection against dust is measured from */ 0 up to 6, whereas protection against water is measured from */ 0 up to 8. The protection against these elements increases as the number does, with * / 0 telling us that the item has NO protection against either dust or water.
Why is this important?
The IP rating of a defib will tell you (and us!) whether it is suitable for the environment where it's most likely to be used; for example, if there is a good chance your defib may be used in an outdoor environment, you will need a unit with a higher IP rating to ensure it can be used regardless the weather or terrain. If you are looking for a defibrillator more suitable for an indoors environment, you can afford to choose one with a lower IP rating, based on the other features that may be more suitable.
When a particular product is "approved" by the FDA, this marks the pass in the premarket approval (or PMA) application of a particular product which has been submitted to the FDA.
To receive approval of a device through a PMA application, the applicant in question must provide reasonable assurance of the device's safety and effectiveness which is then challenged by the FDA before being approved.
Whilst all AEDs can be used to increase chances of survival and even save a life in the event of a cardiac arrest, FDA approved devices provide that extra piece of mind that the specific unit being used has undergone vigorous and substantial testing to ensure that that particular piece of equipment operates just as it should and provides the most effective care possible.
Many manufacturers perform their own tests on products, but not all defibrillators will undergo the same premarket approval as FDA approved devices and there is no guarantee or stamp of certification if testing has taken place with non-FDA approved products.

text: By Jennifer Elliott on July 18, 2015 • ( 2 Comments ) DIY: CUTE GROCERY TOTES 2.0 CUTE GROCERY TOTES 2.0: A few years ago, I turned an ordinary reusable grocery tote into a super cute tote. The experience was less than pleasant, and I remember using a ton of swear words and almost giving up numerous times. Although the tote turned out very nicely, I absolutely had no desire to add cuteness to another grocery tote. The project scarred me a little. I'm not sure what possessed me to try the project again, but I'm glad I took the chance. Other than making a few mistakes here and there (a ton less than the first attempt), the process seemed a little easier. The multi-color polka dot fabric matches wonderfully with some of the different colored bags, and I am so incredibly happy to have more cute grocery bags in my stash! At a craft store I picked up some super cute adhesive patches on clearance, thinking a monogram would be the perfect addition to the totes. Me at some party: "I brought the tote that has the letter H on it." The patches were so cute that I didn't care none of the letters were nowhere close to any of my initials. I figured the monogram would be a great conversation starter … or not. Look! I created a cute little pocket on one side of the tote! I love loading the cute totes with games or some food dishes and hauling it to another destination. But what I love most about the reusable totes is I can easily throw them into the washer whenever they get dirty or stinky. For some reason, I prefer the canvas or more fabric-like grocery bags than the straight-up plastic ones. I had a ton of the dotted fabric left over from a previous project and thought the material matched the various grocery bags I have collected over the years. With a good sale and some coupons, I bought webbed ribbon (not sure if that's the correct term) for new longer and prettier straps. I haven't beautified all my totes quite yet but the more positive process and pretty results have left me wanting more. Share this:EmailPrintLike this:Like Loading...

This mushroom seems to be appreciating the London summer.
This is one of many fungal pieces by Christiaan Nagel, an artist born in South Africa and now based in London. These mushrooms are usually found perched on rooftops and high ledges. They are made from polyurethane, a light and malleable material, perfect for attaching with ease and safety in high positions. Nagel chose mushrooms because of their transient nature, a perfect match for the ever-changing aspect street art.
The spread of the fungi is not limited to London. They can be spotted in many cities around the world, and he went over to Frankfurt a few days ago so if you're there be sure to look up.

Dr. Michael Colgan Hip Resurfacing Dr. de Gendt 2007
Everything was even better than I expected.
On 20 November 2007 I received a superb hip replacement, using the latest
prosthesis design, from Dr Frank de Gendt at St Rembert's Hospital in Torhout. I
had no problems whatsoever.
St Rembert's is the cleanest hospital that I have ever seen. The first-class
two-patient room that housed me, and the attentive and good humoured nurses and
other staff are among the best that I have ever encountered in my 33-year
practice of sports medicine, involving patients in many hospitals around the
world. The skill of the surgeons at St Rembert's is world-class, and their
knowledge of hip replacement appears more advanced than what I have seen in many
larger hospitals in the United States and Canada. As a medical professional, I
noted that their operating theaters and other equipment facilities employed the
latest technology.
The total absence of infections, such as MRSA, …

Advanced Care for Tibial Pseudoarthrosis
- Tibial Pseudoarthrosis
- Advanced Care for Tibial Pseudoarthrosis
At NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, your child may receive one or more of these treatments for tibial pseudoarthrosis:
- Medical Therapy: Therapy with "biologic" drugs such as "bone morphogenetic proteins" (BMP), which promote healing and reduce pain.
- Surgery: We perform surgery to stabilize the affected leg using instrumentation, align the leg, and treat discrepancies in leg length (where one leg is shorter than the other, due to improper growth). Your child will typically need multiple surgeries as he or she grows.
- Rehabilitation: We offer physical therapy tailored to your child's needs.

City: My friend Barbara and I went into the city today and did a few chores and had a meal out. I got water for the RV and did a little shopping.
Weather: We have a sunny day with a little breeze but I do hear thunder in the distance, so maybe there will be afternoon shower.
