Day at the Market
November 25, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Event Navigation
The Day at the Market program plays a key role in being a venue in achieving dissemination which is purposed to "bridge the disconnect" between community and the lack of access to resources and information. The hope is that the individuals who interact with will be able to use this program as a venue in which they can receive pertinent educational materials along with information that will help them make positive behavioral changes.
Johns Hopkins researchers use this program as a learning tool for being a better partner with the community and as a dissemination vehicle to return what they have learned to the community. The goal is for researchers, other organizations, and partners to realize that this is a venue where they can be educated through their interactions with the community with they plan to work.

Strep Throat & Tinnitus
Strep throat and tinnitus are two unrelated conditions, though they can occur at the same time in certain instances. The conditions are not caused by one another and occur for different reasons. If you have strep throat, but also experience ringing in your ears, there is an explanation that may ease your mind. If either of your conditions does not improve over several days, or gets worse, call your doctor immediately.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Strep Throat
Strep throat is a bacterial infection in the throat that is usually more severe than a sore throat caused by a viral infection. Individuals between the ages of 5 and 15 are more likely to develop strep throat, though people of any age can get the infection. Strep throat is caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus pyogenes, MayoClinic.com reports. The bacteria are spread through coughs, sneezes or sharing food and drinks with someone who is infected. Symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, red and swollen tonsils, red spots on the roof of the mouth, headache and fatigue. Treatment includes a round of antibiotics to destroy the bacteria that causes the illness. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also help reduce your pain.
Tinnitus is the sensation of ringing in your ears. In most instances, tinnitus is not a sign of a dangerous health condition, though it could be a sign that you have an underlying problem that should be treated by your doctor. Tinnitus occurs when the tiny hairs in your ear are bent or damaged. This can occur because of age-related hearing loss, loud noises, an earwax blockage or changes in the bones inside your ear. Less common causes include stress, depression, head or neck injuries and Meniere's disease. Certain medications can also cause tinnitus. You may experience buzzing, ringing, roaring, clicking, hissing or whistling sensations if you have tinnitus.
Antibiotics are the most common form of treatment for strep throat, but certain ones may cause tinnitus, according to MayoClinic.com. The most common antibiotics that have been linked to tinnitus include chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamicin, vancomycin and bleomycin. Penicillin and amoxicillin are the two most common antibiotics prescribed to treat strep throat, but they may not always be effective. When penicillin or amoxicillin do not work, your doctor may prescribe erythromycin, a medication that may also cause tinnitus. If you experience tinnitus while on antibiotics, speak with your doctor about the benefits of switching to a different one.
Untreated strep throat can lead to more serious medical conditions. If your sore throat does not get better, or gets worse, call your doctor right away. Though rare, strep throat can cause rheumatic fever, scarlet fever and kidney inflammation or the infection may spread to other parts of your body. If your doctor recommends aspirin as an over-the-counter pain remedy, take only the prescribed dose. Large doses of aspirin might cause ringing in your ears. Chronic tinnitus can cause depression, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, anxiety and irritability. If your tinnitus does not go away within a few days, ask your doctor about potential causes and treatments.

17 Jan2010
One of Mrs. MM's all-time favorites must be deep-fried squash blossoms, usually with cheese and anchovies. They have been featured on this blog before here, here and here. The batter that we seem to like best is a simple one of rice flour, club soda and salt, and ideally the batter should be chilled in the fridge prior to use.
There were super fresh squash blossoms at the market this morning so I bought two bunches. Back at home, I rummaged through the fridge and found some mini-mozzarella balls leftover and the last few slices of prosciutto. Of course we had anchovies. So we stuffed the flowers with either a mozzarella and prosciutto mixture or a mozzarella and anchovy center. Dip quickly in the batter and deep fry (we did this in a wok) until just starting to get a touch of color and drain on paper towels before serving hot. This batch was fantastic. Crisp to the bite, but the interior chewy, salty, cheesey and somewhat addictive.
If you don't have anything to stuff into the blossoms, they taste pretty good just plain and simple. However, if you want to take them up a notch, serve them with a flavorful sauce or dip. Or a salsa. In this case, I used a store-bought salsa that went very well with the deep fried squash blossoms.
Would a tempura batter do? I expect you'd want it light.
Jan 17, 2010 | 3:55 am
I've read about zucchini/courgette blossoms – that are still closed buds – being stuffed as you do before deep frying, using a similar batter mixture (almost like tempura batter). But I don't really like frying – deep or otherwise – at home. So I just stay on the look-out for these when we dine out – again of course – seasonally or else be willing to pay a steeper price (anything marked w "market price" on the menu will be more expensive off-season).
Have also seen chefs on food network, stuffing them & putting them on the grill – without batter coating of course, which for me is more do-able.
Jan 17, 2010 | 4:00 am
Just wondering, why should the batter be pre-chiled? Just for storage?
Jan 17, 2010 | 6:54 am
LOVE this!!! also the fried kankong leaves
Jan 17, 2010 | 7:12 am
chilled, or if in a hurry, use ice water. in fact, my japanese friend who taught me how to cook tempura uses ice cubes. she says when very cold batter hits very hot oil, the batter does not absorb too much oil, resulting to crisp and light tempura.
Jan 17, 2010 | 2:17 pm
i also like this stuffed with goat cheese! yummy!
Jan 17, 2010 | 2:54 pm
Now i know what to do with those flowers instead of the usual vegetable stew called "inabraw". Question though, how do you keep the stuffing from seeping out of the blossom? Especially as the "petals" in these photos are all open. When I fry something with cheese, more often than not, the cheese ends up in the bottom of the wok, instead of being stuffed. :)
Jan 17, 2010 | 3:21 pm
squash blossoms is good for dinengdeng.
Jan 18, 2010 | 5:18 am
I love kalabasa blossoms cooked every which way. Sounds wonderful.

why CHILLED salt?
Jan 18, 2010 | 9:43 am
did this before with minced shrimps stuffing. sarap!!

Many thanks, MM, for the tip, and all the wonderful recipes you share.It used to be that my favorite writers were Erma Bombeck and Jessica Zafra, BUT none of them can cook! That's why you're no. 1 now on my list. God Bless!
Jan 20, 2010 | 12:34 am
Thank you for the "pre-chilled batter" tip. Will definitely try this with anchovies. :-)
Jan 21, 2010 | 9:07 am
I remember making this when we were in baguio. We happen to have a big chunk of sharp cheddar cheese that's almost to expire in 5 days. Bought several bundle of squash flowers and stuffed the cheddar cheese, dipped in batter and deep fried it. Served it with garlic-mayo dip.
Jan 25, 2010 | 7:59 pm
MM, I've tasted bulaklak ng kalabasa tempura and it was so good, PLEASE TRY TO ADD THIS bulaklak ng kalabasa if you will cook pinakbet…oh my!!! first time ko natikman na ginawa ng ate ko, as in, i am in heaven. ang sarap!!!

Orchestrator Web Console 2012 R2: HTTP Error 404.17 – Not Found
2:51 pm in Orchestrator by Christopher Keyaert
Hi everyone,
I just installed a brand new Orchestrator 2012 R2 preview on a dedicated console and when I tried to launch the Web Console or to connect to the Web Service, I had the following error message :
HTTP Error 404.17 – Not Found. "The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler."
In fact, it's due to missing roles/features on the server which is hosting Orchestrator installation.
Go to Add Roles and Features, and select ASP.NET 4.5 in Server Roles.
In Features, under .Net Framework 4.5 Features > WCF Services, select HTTP Activation.
When done, I'm not able to lunch the Orchestrator Web Console
And also connect Service Manager 2012 R2 to Orchestrator 2012 R2 Web Service.
I hope this help 😉

Dr. Alex Taylor works in a hospital in Bath, in southwest Britain. This mystery novel starts off with her in a hospital bed, waking up to find herself restrained. The doctor with her makes a threat to do a horrific procedure on her, unless she says what the doctor wants her to say. Then she wakes up again, again in a hospital bed, but this time with familiar people around her. She tells them what happened to her but they don't really believe her. Alex has had a difficult time in the last year or so, and her emotional stability was already under threat with the demands of her high pressure job. As the novel unfolds, Alex goes through many unsettling experiences which make it look like she is not able to do her job competently and lead others to doubt her sanity. When some people start to die around her, she is under suspicion as the murderer. Her boyfriend tries to be supportive but things become strained between them. She starts to use alcohol and medication in order to remain calm, but that is self-sabotaging. Things eventually come to a head, and there is a surprising conclusion.
Author Liz Lawler previously worked as a nurse, and so she is good at getting the medical details right. Zara Ramm performs the unabridged audiobook, and she keeps the energy level up. But it is hard work getting through to the end of the book -- the twists and turns become tiresome and the main characters are not charismatic enough for the reader to really care about them.

Scientists and engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have accidentally discovered an entirely new carbon-based material that is synthesized from graphene. The new material that the researchers are calling graphene monoxide unifies all three characteristics of electrical conductivity – conduction, insulation and semi-conduction – which are needed for use in electronics.
Graphene has the potential to revolutionize electronics because it conducts electricity much better than the gold and copper wires used in current devices. Applications for graphene however are limited because it's too expensive to mass produce. Another problem is that, until now, graphene-related materials existed only as conductors or insulators.
The researchers created the new material by heating grapheme oxide (GO) in a vacuum to reduce oxygen. Instead of being destroyed, however, the carbon and oxygen atoms in the layers of GO became aligned, transforming themselves into the ordered, semiconducting graphene monoxide (GMO) – a material that does not exist in nature. It was not the result they expected. The new GMO exhibits characteristics that will make it easier to scale up than grapheme and it is semiconducting.

- A short teaser from Universal Studios will give you a first glimpse at the Upside Down, which will be brought to life in September.
It's never too early to start planning your Halloween costume, and this year you might want to start budgeting for a fall trip, too. Universal Studios has announced that its annual Halloween Horror Nights will feature a Stranger Things attraction, and it sounds like it'll be as cool as it is scary.
Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Orlando Resort, and Universal Studios Singapore will each unveil an immersive maze inspired by the hit Netflix show's first season. Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, along with producer Shawn Levy, are collaborating with Universal to authentically recreate familiar scenes and storylines.
"From the menacing Hawkins National Laboratory, under the US Department of Energy, to the Byers home adorned with an erratic display of flashing Christmas lights, and the eerie Upside Down woods oozing a shower of floating orb-like spores, the chilling new mazes will offer surprising twists and unexpected turns around every corner," Universal said in a press release.
That's right: The Upside Down is coming to our world, and it's bringing the Demogorgon with it. Get a super-brief glimpse of just how real this maze will look in the short teaser below.
Halloween Horror Nights begins Friday, September 14, in Hollywood and Orlando, and Friday, September 28, in Singapore. You can get more information, including ticketing details, on the website.

Stuttgart University's ITKE Institute has designed and built their new ArboSkin pavilion out of 388 bioplastic pyramids. A 140-square foot digitally fabricated mock-up composed of recyclable components that can be freely shaped and manufactured as 3D façade elements, the project was created within the Institute's Bioplastic Façade Research Program to demonstrate the aesthetic and structural potentials of bioplastics. The futuristic pavilion recently won a prize at one of Germany's most important competitions for innovative ideas.
The blueprint of the shell structure is based on a network of triangular shapes of different sizes. The double curved skin is made of 3.5 mm thick bioplastic pyramids that are mechanically assembled to create the free form surface. The bioplastic sheets can be freely shaped and adapted to fit any requirement for building exteriors.
The technology needed for extruding the sheets was deployed in cooperation with project partner Bauer Thermoforming, an expert in shaping bioplastic sheets under high temperatures. Waste produced during the CNC milling process can be regranulated and reused to create more of these façade elements in 3D format. For its ArboSkin Pavilion, ITKE received an award at the prestigious national competition 'Landmarks of in the Land of Ideas 2013/2014' in the science category.
Bioplastics have so far been used for packaging, but with its new pavilion ITKE is hoping to promote the material as a green alternative to cement, the production of which accounts for eight percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. The highly flexible granules can be formed into any shape required by various designs. Also compostable, the materials is ideal for both exterior and interior applications.

US, Hillside. America-based custom furniture manufacturer Pollaro has completed a wall hanging, abstract motif for a tabletop, and a panel with a falcon motif nearing completion using hand laid eggshells. All three were inspired by the works of French metal smith Jean Dunand.
Pollaro's Dunand inspired wall hanging
The first of the three artworks is a lacquered wall hanging, measuring 124.4cm by 91.4cm, which was inspired by one of Dunand's more famous abstract designs from the 1920s. The piece has been achieved using a combination of hand painted lacquers and hand laid eggshells, while the red lacquer has been created using pigmented cinnabar and iron oxide.
Detail shot of the fish's head
It took Pollaro's master craftsmen in excess of 700 hours to complete this meticulous piece of art, which has a filled and hand polished surface.
Abstract motif for a tabletop
The eggshell technique was also used to achieve a circular motif in black and white for a tabletop.
"The eggshell technique became a specialty of Dunand's Paris workshop and was very popular with his clients," explains Frank Pollaro, founder of Pollaro. "To guarantee a steady supply of eggshells, Dunand maintained a chicken coop in the courtyard of his workshop." There are many more options today and Pollaro's supply of eggs comes from Whole Foods, eliminating the need to keep chickens.
Pollaro's new panel with a falcon motif nearing completion
Pollaro can create any custom artistic motif for a lacquered eggshell panel, screen, or piece of furniture, to exact client specifications. These pieces can be customised for art work and can be completed in different dimensions and colours.

*Ferris Bueller's teacher's voice* Anyone? Anyone?
Is anyone still paying attention to this little blog of mine? Do you still remember Meredith who used to get on her blog and write about every second of her boring life?
But as I went to Google that Ferris Bueller GIF, I realized a lot of that movie (probably my all-time favorite movie) had some good moments that have totally captured how I've felt during the first part of the year.
Everything's been moving pretty fast. 2015? You cray already. It's mid-February and that's mind boggling to me. I'm trying to do a little more of this stopping and looking around once in a while and have found those beautiful moments where everything just seems so right.
And then there are days that seem more like this:
And there were a few days of something flu-like where I definitely felt like this:
Days of wondering about everything:
There have been moments of the two extremes of confidence, from this
all the way to this.
Which has gotten me a little:
Because a lot of the time, there are moments of
But you know what? I felt like that a lot too much last semester. Stressed about minor things and with the silliness of the first semester of college:
And I really think that I was just in a little shell, afraid to do anything. This GIF means a lot more than you'd think-- I've been trying really hard to not be afraid of anything that life throws at me. I could go on with tons of Cameron quotes from the first part of the movie, but I think I adjusted my attitude a little more towards the best part of this classic movie. We all have a little bit of both Cameron and Ferris in us.
And we all need a Ferris in our lives to keep us going.
I mean, did anyone not love Ferris?
Even if you know you're a little too dorky or nerdy like I most definitely do...
...you've still gotta act like you're the queen.
It's totally okay. Honestly, that's how I've been feeling all this semester-- trying to completely own and take back everything about myself. No wizard that there is or was is ever going to bring me down....wait, wrong reference here, but still applicable. But there have been some bouts of confidence that I feel like I've tried to regain this year and I'm so glad that's what I'm working on. New Year's Resolutions?
1. Don't let people walk all over me and
2. Own what I love and everything about it.
Among others, these two stick with me and they're the ones I have to make a conscious effort at. Dropping things that don't make me feel good about myself and continuing the good ones, throwing myself into the things that make me happy and not holding back.
I saw this the other day and really felt compelled to share:
And I know this was a lot of Ferris Bueller GIFs that don't really make sense (but are they ever not accurate or applicable?) and lots of selfies that were maybe a little unnecessary (and maybe this is the most unprofessional blog post I've ever written), but hey, life is great and I just wanted to relay that in some way.
Hey friends-- make sure to stop and look around once in a while. Life is pretty dang sweet.

Rock Guitar Lessons
Learn how to be a rock god with us
Choose a course that matches your skill
Recognised high standard qualifications
Over 50 years of producing top quality products has given us a reputation for high standards: The Online exams have been approved and registered on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) with OFQUAL. This has been enabled through our partnership with Online Music Exams and The Learning Machine. The exam materials have been written by experienced, qualified guitar teachers and examiners. The exams have been rigorously critiqued by independent testers during the last two years. These valuable contributions continue and the materials are always improving. As a guitar teacher we know you will approve of the new attention to detail and appreciation of your craft.
Why is this better?
This is a fully accredited exam experience for students wanting to take a graded approach to the guitar. Orange have collaborated with Online Music Exams to create the first accredited guitar grade experience held completely online.
Actually, it's less than you think
Through our partnership with Online Music Exams we are able to offer examinations online at a very competitive price. Instead of taking 9 exams and paying for them individually, students can now take advantage of paying via the new 3 tier system. The new system groups exam content together so there are less exams to take, giving you better value for money.
|Online Music Exams (Foundation)
|Other Exam Boards (Debut – Grade 2)
|Includes Debut – Grade 2
|Debut Grade: £38, Grade 1: £43, Grade 2: £48
|Online Music Exams (Intermediate)

|Grade 6: £75, Grade 7: £83, Grade 8: £95
Finally, a grade syllabus worth studying. Orange ticks all the boxes here and have created a methodical and practical approach that guitarists can use in the real world, no need for separate theory books as they have it covered, as a teacher this is awesome.
Once students have learnt the materials needed for the exam and they feel ready, they can take the exam.
The exam is completely online and is captured via video recordings. Each part of the exam is separated into easier to prepare disciplines with a separate multiple choice theory exam. Upon recording the exam, students will hear an examiner who will set each task. Students will be asked to perform set pieces from the exam materials and set scales. Sight reading and aural questions will also be asked of the students with a timed multiple choice theory exam held at the end.
Once completed these recordings are automatically uploaded to the examiner who will mark and grade your exam. An independent moderator will also mark the exam in some instances for quality assurance. When the exam is approved, the student will have their marks sent to their account and if they have passed they will receive their Orange digital certificate. Your marks will be uploaded to the government table for results and you can check your qualification with the number on your certificate.

Arkadium's Social Science infographic shows off the company's stats on Facebook
While most Facebook or even simply casual gamers understand many of the major trends in the landscape - that most social gamers are female, that gamers are willing to spend real money on virtual items, etc. - Arkadium has taken a deeper look at their own suite of games, offering us a fun, yet still informative infographic detailing all things from Mahjongg Dimensions to their Facebook adaptation of the casual game Cooking Mama.
So what did we learn? We've seen a confirmation that the majority of Arkadium's players are female - at a figure of 71%, to be exact. I hate to break out a stereotype, but Cooking Mama's audience might account for the biggest female swing, as (even outside of the cooking gameplay), the game is simply filled with every stereotypically female color or pattern known to man - pink and purple of all shades, along with glitter and sparkles. It's something the girly-girls have to love.
But what if you're more into matching patterns on cubes? With Mahjongg Dimensions still pulling in over one million players every month, it looks like those that have stuck around are pretty loyal, as they've built up a high average score: 1,051,417 points per game. And these players aren't just playing by themselves, as over 22.7 million free gifts have been sent between players. Could it be the fact that you'll unlock new bonuses in each game that drives the high rate of gifts sent? That is, rather than a "useless" item, most of Mahjongg Dimension's gifts have a definite purpose. That's something to think about for new developers trying their hand at social games - that usefulness and function could very well drive virality over pretty colors.
But that's not all; in fact, the infographic is just getting started.
We've learned that Arkadium knows how to keep players interested over long periods of time, as both Solitaire Heaven and Writer's Blox keep players entertained for lengthy gameplay sessions. The average player spends 20 minutes in Solitaire Heaven each time they log in, while Writer's Blox users can spend an average of 16 minutes on a single puzzle in the game.
Finally, heading back to Cooking Mama, we've learned that a whopping 5,035,709 meals have been served, but we weren't given an exact time frame for how long it took to reach this number - just that it was within the "past few months." Either way, this is an impressive figure, made even more so when combined with the fact that players have visited their friends' kitchens over 12 million times.
What does all of this mean in the long run? Ultimately, Arkadium's player-base has proven to be a dedicated one, and the company is feeling mighty proud of what they've accomplished - and with good reason. Mahjongg Dimensions, the company's biggest game, may have a relatively small set of users, but the numbers are stable. Even big names like Zynga can't say that, as their games seem to be losing players at an alarming pace. With these numbers backing up Arkadium's success, it will be interesting to see where the go from here.
Are you a fan of Arkadium's games? Do any of these stats surprise you? What do you think Arkadium could do to better challenge the big names in the space for supremacy? Sound off in the comments.

I have been wanting a larger marking knife for a while now and I just can't get myself to pay good money for one. Why? Well, the knife I want is a heavy duty knife that I can use for most of my work. The Blue Spruce knife I have been using for a while is great for dovetails, but not for large work. Yes, I know Blue Spruce sells a larger knife, but it is a spear point knife and it cost $65. I just think that is crazy for something you should be able to make yourself .
So, what do you need to make a marking knife yourself? Chances are you already have what you need and if you don't the parts are really cheap.
First you need the main components. Some sort of handle and a piece of metal to make a blade from. The handle I am using is an old chisel handle. You can just as easily use a dowel rod, order a handle, or use some piece of scrape wood you have around the shop. Even an old axe handle would work. Your a wood worker, you can figure it out.
The blade part is just as easy. I am using a 7/16" spade bit. If you don't have an old one laying around, the next time you go to the store buy a $3 blade. The HSS (High Speed Steel) blades are cheap and can be sharpened wicked sharp.
Because the shaft of the spade bit is almost the size of the end of the chisel handle it needs to be trimmed. I just cut the socket part of the handle off flush. The only other thing that needs to be done is to drill a hole in the end of the handle to receive the shaft. I drilled the hole just a little big so that the epoxy has a place to go. To drill the hole use a square as a guide or use a drill press. The hole needs to be as close as possible to straight, or it will look weird. I used a cordless drill and a square to keep mine straight.
To make the blade you first need to cut the spade bit to the shape you want. You can either make a single bevel edge blade like I am or a spear point. I have made both with this method and they have come out great.
First, mark the bit with a line were it needs to be cut. I cut mine just below the hole in the blade for obvious reasons. Cutting the blade can be done with a angle grinder or it can be ground down with a dry grinder. I like using an angle grinder with a cutting wheel because the steel really doesn't get hot and it cuts really fast. Using a normal dry grinder will get you there, but you will have to dip the blade in water over and over to prevent the steel from burning up. Once the angle is cut, you need to grind down the two sides so that they are as flat as possible. I also make the blade just a little longer while I am flattening the sides so that it is easier to sharpen. The two sides don't have to be parallel, unless you want them to be. I also suggest you do as much work on the grinder as possible . Once you leave the grinder we will move to the sharpening stones and we don't want to spend hours on the stones.
Now that the major work is done the rest can be accomplished on your sharpening stones. I use DMT diamond stones, they cut fast and I never have to worry about them dishing out on me like my water stones.
On the stones the first order of bussiness is to smooth out the two sides before you even start sharpening the blade. Only the one side really needs to be soothed out, but I like my tools to look nice too. Once the two sides are all smoothed out the rest is typical sharpening. I sharpen my blades up to 8000 grit stones. Either with water or diamond stones and then I strop. I strop and strop till I have a supper shinny and razor sharp edge. It may sound like the sharpening process takes a long time, but it really should only take 5 min. with a brand new unsharpened edge like this one. If it takes longer than that you didn't spend enough time on the grinder setting yourself up for success on the stones. In the future the sharpening will take about one minute to keep the edge nice.
Now that the blade is nice and supper sharp we need to cut the shaft to length. For me I just want it to go in far enough to stay put. I don't need to drill a supper deep hole, it just makes the process harder. I cut the shaft so that about 1 1/2" - 2" go into the handle. Then I just mix up some epoxy and jam some down in the hole. Make sure you get enough epoxy in the hole to fill up the space and firmly secure the shaft inside the handle. When you get the blade where you want it just wipe off the excess and let it dry. Standing upright is the best way because it can fall out when the epoxy is still gooey.
Overall, this entire process took me just about 45 min. and I got a nice marking knife from stuff I had laying around the shop. I might make a few more or I might not. There is something nice about making your own tools. I also think that the process helps you with your ability to sharpen the tools you already have and teaches you how to alter tools that you have to make them better for your particular uses.

On a day the Jets played flag football, more undisciplined than any team Rich Kotite fielded, on a day Rex Ryan managed the coach's challenge as well as he handled Mark Sanchez in the fourth quarter of the Snoopy Bowl, they asked Geno Smith to be Mariano Rivera, and the kid saved them.
On a day the Jets committed a franchise-high 20 penalties, worth 168 unconscionable yards, on a day Ryan left himself without an invaluable challenge in the fourth quarter, on a day one of those Same Old Jets chokes was in progress, Geno Smith overcame everyone, himself included.
If the Jets give him time, in the pocket and in the cocoon, Geno Smith (16-for-29, 331 yards, two TDs, two INTs, one TD rushing) has a chance to be a deodorant who erases whatever stench surrounds the team.
A big arm like his can turn Santonio Holmes (five receptions, 154 yards, one TD) into a big-play receiver again, can turn Stephen Hill (three receptions, 108 yards, one TD) into the deep threat he was drafted to be, can offer enough of a threat to allow Bilal Powell to rumble for 149 yards behind a remorseless offensive line.
A big arm like his can make a mockery of man-to-man coverage and turn a 20-20 game into Jets 27, Bills 20 in the blink of an eye.
A big arm like his can bring Joy in Jetville, for however fleeting it may be, and leave the Jets as the New York NFL team not in crisis.
"With the game on the line, the ball in your hands — that's the moment you live for," Smith said. "That's the moment you dream of as a kid. You can't get caught up in the moment. You can't see it as that. You got to go out there and stick to your fundamentals and do all the things that got you here. But you always want to be in that moment and you want to be successful, and it was good to do that today."
The moment: early fourth quarter, Smith at his 31, a reserve cornerback named Justin Rogers, playing because Leodis McKelvin had been lost to a hamstring injury early in the first quarter, on Holmes. Apparently Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine wasn't convinced Tone Time could be more than a shell of his former self. The Jets have a quarterback who can put the ball in the air and let the receiver make a play. And Holmes can still make a play.
"It was tight coverage, so I didn't want to hang it too much and give the DB a chance to look back and find it, so I tried to drive it on him," Smith said. "And Tone is very good at looking up at the last second and plucking that thing out of the sky."
Holmes plucked it out of the sky and he was gone, and so were the Bills. Smith ran down jubilantly to congratulate him, as somehow Austin Howard wound up with the ball and an imperfect spike in the end zone.
"I think I ran about 60, 70 yards, maybe 80 yards, to go down there and just kind of give Tone a high-five and celebrate with him," Howard said, "and he handed me the ball."
Smith had outplayed his pal EJ Manuel, the quarterback drafted ahead of him.
"Other than the fact that we got a win, it doesn't mean anything," Smith said. "We'll be battling for a number of years."
His worst rookie mistake was a pick by fellow rookie linebacker Kiko Alsonso.
"I tried to give him a look him off and get back to the slant, and he was athletic enough and able enough to get under it," Smith said. "At times I think I can make every single throw, and I think that's what gets me in trouble at times."
His 51-yard touchdown to Hill against Rogers came with Kyle Williams barreling down on him. He stood in there fearlessly. Never saw the result.
"He got a good shot on me, but it wasn't too bad," Smith said. "I was just more worried about placing the ball in the right spot."
That play led Willie Colon to say: "He has all the tools to be a big-time quarterback."
Smith (six interceptions) knows he has a defense that will keep the Jets in most games.
"My mind is focused on turnovers. … It seems like every week I'm up here saying how I need to do a better job in that area," Smith said. "I hate to use the rookie title as an excuse."
Imagine when he grows up.

I'm so excited to tell you about this super-easy and fun homeschool project, folks. I cannot take credit for this idea. Last summer, a friend of mine sent me a traveling journal that she had received from her friend. It was amazing!
DIY Traveling Journal Homeschool Project
Here's the back story…
A classroom teacher in Scottsdale, AZ had given each of her students a composition notebook and asked them to write a little bit about their town in it. Then, they each sent it off to a friend in another state with instructions to keep sending it to other places until May, at which point it was to be returned to the school's address. Genius, right? Well, let me tell you, folks… I poured over page after page, reading about the families who had received the journal before us and reading about each of the cities and towns that the journal had visited. I immediately decided that we needed to do this, and so we did!
How to make a traveling journal
This is such an easy DIY! All you need to do is the following:
- Purchase an old-school composition notebook.
- Head to the library and help your children research the town or city in which you live.
- Write a page or two about your town or city in the notebook. Don't forget to include some photographs of the area in which you live or of some of your favorite pastimes.
- Print out the following instructions and staple them to in inside front cover of your notebook:Greetings from the ______ family from [city, state]! This is our traveling journal and we would love for you to participate in the fun. Here's how you can help us out:
- Complete one journal entry by writing about the town or city in which you live. Feel free to include photographs!
- Send a post card (or drop us a note if you don't have postcards) to the address below.
- Send the journal to a friend or relative who lives in a different region of the United States, or in another country!
- This traveling journal is to be returned to the address listed below by [insert date].
Thanks so much!
The ______ Family
Please send all postcards to:
[Add your address here]
- Mail your journal to a friend or relative in another part of the US! That's it!
So, how did it go?
We sent our journal in late September and asked for it to be returned by May 1st. It was! Our journal traveled to:
Leesburg, Virginia
Granger, Indiana
Denver, Colorado
Atlanta, Georgia
New Orleans, Louisiana
Alexandria, Louisiana
The stories, photos, and information contained in our journal is priceless, folks, but I will not share it online for the privacy of those who participated. Because we share our story online, we did include the My Little Poppies address so if any of our traveling journal participants are reading this post…
Thank you so much!
Would I do it again? If so, would I do anything differently?
Yes! We are absolutely doing this again. In fact, we are sending it out very soon. If you live somewhere super cool, please let us know and we'll send it your way!
As for doing things differently, I would request that folks send an e-mail when they receive the journal. We only received one postcard during the time that the journal was traveling. I think it is difficult to find postcards for the place in which you live and e-mail is just so much easier and faster. That way, we'll be better able to track the journal's travels across the globe on a map.
Tell me, folks… how do you make geography and social studies fun? Do you have any project ideas that we might like? Please share here!
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Did you know that some of the first people to take vacations were chronically ill people? Doctors started recommending travel for those with chronic physical and mental illnesses in the 19th century. Doctors today still recommend doing things that reduce stress; getting away from it all.
Most of them likely don't realize that travel itself can cause stress for people with chronic health conditions. For me, vacation – particularly to a destination on the ocean, is both restorative and exhausting simultaneously. Let me try to explain.
Last week, my husband and I joined my Dad and other members of my family at a beach house in Cape San Blas, FL. It is a beautiful area of Florida where the beaches are still natural, the towns still small, and the buildings (no larger than two stories) are built in harmony with the dunes.
It is about as low key as vacation gets. Still, it was hard on me. First of all, we drove 14 hours to reach this little corner of paradise. A car drive like that stiffens my body and amplifies the intractable migraine I live with. Even with muscle relaxers on board and enough lidocaine to numb an elephant, it's not easy.
Then there is the beach itself. Heat, bright light, and exposure to sun are all triggers for migraine and dysautonomia. A few hours on the beach leaves me feeling dizzy, weak, nauseous, and exhausted.
Why bother then? There are a few reasons I consciously chose to take this trip. First, it was an opportunity to spend time with family members that I don't often get to see. I will do a lot for family, but this was also for me. I try not to let my illness stop me from enjoying the things I love and having rich life experiences. The ocean falls solidly among my favorite things in the world. It is in the sea that I feel most connected to this earth, and all of its inhabitants. It reminds me that while I am small, my potential is infinite. So while a beach vacation leaves me physically exhausted, mentally it leaves me refreshed.
I needed that. Although I'm still exhausted from the trip home I don't regret it for a second. I spent Father's Day with my Dad, celebrated my anniversary in style, hunted for shells, stood in the surf, and splashed with my nephews. On the way home I spent time with my grandmother in Georgia – the woman who I consider my spirit animal. Even if it was just a week, and even if I slept A LOT, I was truly LIVING last week rather than just existing. Sometimes, it's worth the price we pay to really live.

I'm Not Always Bored When I'm Giving a Test
April 5, 2012
But when I am, I try to write stories the old fashioned way.
This is what I did today during one of my classes that had to take a midterm. That goes to show you how bored I was. I was also not capable of using a computer at the moment because I didn't want to sit there in a silent room with me pounding on a keyboard the whole time. That's right, I'm a nice guy.
My handwriting clearly needs help. It looks a lot like an old form of Klingon. I'm not sure if you can really see this writing up close but it's mostly a ugly hybrid of cursive and print. Each letter only resembles those found in the English alphabet. And it's very tiny. Like Hobbit tiny.
One thing that does sort of make me proud is how straight the lines of text are on the unlined paper. I'm pretty impressed with myself. Usually when I try something like this it looks like half the words are sliding off an invisible shelf.
And if for some reason you're trying to read what I wrote, please stop. That's my next little project/goal. If you want to keep it a surprise don't look at the answers. Oh, I guess I should tell you what that goal actually is…
Yup. 5,000 words is my goal. I think I can accomplish it. I think I could kill it. I just don't know if I can hit 5,000 and still keep it interesting to read. I'm starting to think I have a short attention span when it comes to writing because I have pretty short attention span when I'm reading.
When is it going to be done? Whenever I decide it's ready…that's when. I've had the idea for about a week now, but yesterday I actually planned out what's going to happen (most likely, things can always change later).
I wrote a lot (for my standards) last month. While I thought it was great, I want to try something that I put a little more effort into. I also want to allow myself to be lazy. I did a lot of work last month. So far I haven't really stopped that pattern, but I don't want to get my hopes up that it will continue only to have it all fall apart in a couple of weeks. So I think pacing myself will be for the best.
Oh, and I think this story is going to have some Elvis impersonators. Because what story doesn't get better when you read about overweight and uncommitted Elvis impersonators?
So I guess you've got that to look forward to.
I've got a teacher work day tomorrow…but no work. So that means I'll probably end up writing a little while I'm there. I'll probably listen to music and make my coworkers wonder what's wrong with my musical taste…

Huawei Technologies – Profile
HQ: Shenzhen, China
Founded: 1988
Management: A mystery. We need to get to know these people as they may become the next tech superstars.
Investors: 100% owned by company insiders.
Business Model: Huawei has 25K employees and billions in revenues but remains private. The company sells a broad-range of telecom networking equipment from wireless to wireline to data networking products. It reported sales of $5.58B in 2004, a 45% increase over the prior year. It also claims to be making a fat profit.
Competitors: Cisco, Alcatel, Nortel, Lucent.
Dirt: Huawei is little known inside the US, but is growing by leaps and bounds elsewhere. The company started as a low cost provider of generic products, but has invested substantially in R&D and has gained ground on everybody in the sector. If the company continues its present rate of growth it will surpass Nortel and Lucent; everyone but Cisco. The company appears to be headed for an IPO, and is working on marketing to make its brand better known. When we set up the a:c office in Shenzhen, we'll be all over these guys.

I love hearing stories like this. I admire people who are positive and see the beauty of life in spite of the difficulties that they are facing. Stories like this remind me of God's promise:
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)
Often times, during hardships and trials, I doubt that things will be better. It is very difficult to accept that what I want is NOT part of God's plan for me. Inspiring story such as this assures me that God will remain true to his promise and HE WILL DELIVER.
Another important reminder I got from this video: It is true, we should "Be kind. Everyone is fighting a battle." Let us not take things at face value. A smile can sometimes brighten someone's day.
What's your inspiring story about God's fulfillment of his promise in your life?

Hello David
I see some problems in bypassing steps in the application. Are you sure that the program in server C does nothing except, maybe parse the output, and write it to server E? Are you sure that other parts in the application does not check the run status in SQL SIS in server B before they run?
Anyway, you can use Control-M to run jobs on server C or server D directly.
If you are sure, you can write a shell script to run the package and run
this from Control-M.
I think you need to run this from Control-M because there are usually other jobs in Control-M that waits for this job to finish.

Rudd's political tantrum must be opposed25 February 2012
Yesterday in Australia, a politician I once believed in, Kevin Rudd, challenged our Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, for the leadership of the Australian Labor Party. I responded by doing something I never thought I would do: I emailed every Labor MP and Senator urging them to oppose Rudd's attempt to regain the Prime Ministership.
Although I was too young to vote in the 2007 election, if I had had a vote I probably would have voted Labor, because I misguidedly believed Rudd would take serious action on climate change. For the first two years of Rudd's government, I felt reassured the Government knew what it was doing and had the problem under control. Rudd and the Labor Party accepted the science of climate change, while the opposing (conservative) Liberal Party, currently led by Tony Abbott, tended towards denial. I assumed the Rudd Government believed its rhetoric.
I was right about the Liberals, but I was wrong about Rudd. The more I learned about Rudd's emissions trading scheme, the less I liked it. I realized Labor wanted to set weak targets diluted by dubious international offsets and unnecessary compensation to polluting industries. The scheme's most fundamental flaw was that it would have locked in Rudd's pathetic targets for at least five years, and a target range for fifteen years.
Rudd's policy was repeatedly blocked by the Senate – by the Liberals because they generally oppose any action, and by the Greens because of the policy's locked-in targets and numerous other flaws. Still Rudd refused to even talk to Greens leader Bob Brown during the last year of his Prime Ministership. For Rudd, emissions targets were non-negotiable. Finally, when he could have called an election to resolve the deadlock, in April 2010 (on Gillard's advice) he chose to walk away from emissions trading. To me this was the last straw – Rudd was demonstrating he didn't really believe in climate action or even his own policy.
Just two months later, Rudd was sacked by his party and Gillard was appointed Prime Minister. The apparent trigger for Rudd's removal was an unpopular mining tax which I supported. Gillard subsequently struck a deal with Australia's biggest mining companies to water down the tax – one instance where I agreed with Rudd and not Gillard.
Gillard has shown better leadership in the present minority government: she, the Greens, and independents negotiated through the new Multi-Party Climate Change Committee and legislated a new improved carbon price policy. While it contains many of the same flaws as Rudd's version, it does not immediately lock in targets. Instead the price will be fixed for three years, then from 2014 an independent Climate Change Authority will recommend rolling-five-year targets, the Government will have to justify any deviation from its advice, and the Parliament will have the chance to scrutinize and the power to disallow those targets (with default one-year targets applying if necessary). Another positive addition was the creation of a Clean Energy Finance Corporation which is yet to be legislated.
However, it is now clear Rudd has been deliberately undermining the Gillard Government for a long time, perhaps from the very beginning. Rudd was allegedly responsible for a series of damaging leaks. For months, journalists have reported he was plotting a comeback, citing unattributed rumors which can allegedly be traced back to Rudd himself briefing reporters on his plans. The effect has been to drown out Gillard's achievements and polarize the party. When Rudd dramatically resigned as Foreign Minister, Gillard responded by calling a leadership spill and Rudd announced his intention to run.
I have a long list of disagreements with the Gillard Government, but nevertheless I have concluded she is a better person to lead the country than Rudd. Rudd's colleagues now say the underlying reason for his removal in 2010 was a personality flaw in Rudd himself: his leadership had become increasingly autocratic and erratic. This explanation rings true. My impression is Rudd is only interested in himself; he is not acting in the interests of the people or his party. I suspect Rudd's intent is to tear apart the Government if they won't let him be Prime Minister, potentially threatening the carbon price (flawed and insufficient as it is), and the promised Clean Energy Finance Corporation whose fate still hangs in the balance.
What might happen if Rudd is elected? The signs are not good. Based on past form I cannot see Rudd holding together his own party, let alone a minority government. Yesterday he indicated continuing antipathy toward the Greens, saying: "A Labor government with Labor values doesn't need a Green party to tell it how to protect the environment."
Worse, in the latest twist in the convoluted history of Australian climate policy, Rudd indicated his intention to take a backward step. If he becomes PM, Rudd said, he will review the carbon price at the beginning of 2013, after six months of operation. The Minerals Council of Australia's Mitch Hooke seized on Rudd's remarks, saying the carbon price should be reviewed immediately. Rudd hinted he wants to move to an emissions trading scheme as soon as possible – which means setting a target. I fear Rudd wants to revert to his original vision of indefinitely locking in weak targets.
If Rudd is elected as Labor leader and it becomes necessary for the Greens and independents to negotiate with him, they should oppose any attempt to lock in emissions targets. Rudd is unlikely to be easy to negotiate with, so the next few days could be the Greens' only chance to influence Rudd's policy. The Greens should not agree to support a potential Rudd government unless he rules out an early move to emissions trading, and guarantees the Government will follow the proper rigorous process negotiated by the Multi-Party Climate Change Committee and legislated in the Clean Energy Act. The alternative – an Abbott Government that would destroy everything the Greens have gained – is not pretty, but as the Greens argued in 2009, even no action may be preferable to locking in low action.
Hopefully it won't come to a choice between Rudd and Abbott. I am optimistic Gillard has the numbers, considering so many people within the party seem to hate Rudd. Even those publically backing Rudd seem to be only doing so because they are disgruntled with Gillard for one reason or another. And although Rudd may superficially appear popular in some opinion polls, I believe this is merely nostalgia and would quickly dissipate if Rudd actually was reinstated.
Julia Gillard should remain the Prime Minister.

It would be graet to be able to manage planner triggers related to a task's checklist. For example:
Trigger when a new item is created in a check list
Trigger when an item is deleted in a check list
Trigger when an item is marked in a check list
... etc.
adding checklist items would be nice as well
I agree. I started to set up a flow thinking this was something we could do.
I agree, being able to access the checklist either as a trigger or via update is needed.
Adding items on a checklist would be really useful. Tasks are often broken down into smaller operations too small to create as an individual task in its own right.

Yes, the extent of divergence (of preganglionic fibers) and difference in the release of NT's create that.

Anatomists have said it is distinct from sympathetic nuclei, but clinically we must recoginize that the ANS exists as a homologus column of neurons, functionally linked, and integrated with the rest of the neuraxis. It is derived from the same embryologic tissue. If we consider only activation of EW we can say it has a pupilloconstrictor effect. Not a big deal.

The preganglionic fibers of both systems are B type and the postganlionic are C type fibers. B fibers have less of an after depolarization sequence, therefore they can have a much faster spike train. Because the PNS has much longer preganglionic (B fibers) it's response is more rapid, but doesnt' last as long. The effects of SNS activation are slower and more diffuse/generalized (that is opposite my original incorrect post...I don't know what I was thinking), but last longer as a consequence of catecholamine release into the bloodstream. > -Consider heart rate.

Indeed, studies of heart rate variability assume that low > frequency variations reflect sympathetic activity while high frequency > variations reflect parasympathetic activity. > OK. But since both SNS and PNS are tonically active, what drives the flux to meet metabolic demand? It is a specific function of the ANS to control the diameter of vessels, heart rate, respiration, etc., etc. all to assure appropriate delivery of fuel and substrate. The hypothalamus is the main excitatory input into ANS, firing especially through the mesencephalic reticular formation, which fires to the IML bilaterally. Why then, since these pathways exist bilaterally, do we normally only see summation of the contralateral side? > Oh! What do you mean by " (probably > A-level)"? Nothing insulting I assure you.
