What the title says!
Tara Strong recently spoke at the SacAnime 2012 voice actor panel, and a member of the audience captured all two hours of the panel. Most of it is non-pony, but there are a few choice segments of pony-related things if you dig through the Youtube comments a little bit- one of my favorites was a comment by her about 'sicing my bronies on this guy'. Both videos can be found after the break!

A few pony communities are trying win various competitions, but need assistance to do it!
First off we have the My Little Pony Reddit page. From what multiple people (Including their moderators) have told me, they got shafted on a "Best Community of 2011" poll, and ended up in the "Large Community" section against stuff that completely decimates their numbers. They are asking for your help!
Head on over to this page, register for an account, and hit the upvote arrow to cast your vote for /r/mylittlepony.
And on the other side of the pond, or series of tubes, we have the IMDB Friendship is Magic page. Right now they are sitting at 8.9 with ~4,700 ratings. In order to hit the top TV show list, they need at least 5,000, and if they want to be the best of the best of all time, they need around 25k.
Hit up this page to vote! You will need an account, but IMDB is pretty useful anyway so might as well get one!op 6:00 PM

As some of you just recently discovered in the earlier post, a supposed "uprising" of angry anti-derpy people popped up. We never reported on it, because the messages in the EQD inbox were pretty mixed on the subject. A few were saying it was a small section of people, while others blew it out of proportion. The disappearance of the iTunes episode did point to this actually being relevant, but.... someone sent this screenshot of an email they sent to DHX. Apparently they haven't been effected at all by this. It sounds like Derpy is here to stay, and all fears should be sent TO THE MOON.
Now onward to more derp!
Note: We have been deleting emails about the original screenshot for quite a while now. So thanks to everyone that sent it regardless of it's legitimacy.

With LG still riding off the success of the G2 and its Google Nexus 5 it seems as though the company is already looking to stay one step ahead with the G3
The LG G3 could feature a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, similar to that found on the HTC One Max and could also be arriving as soon as MWC 2014 in February.
According to BGR the next flagship from LG will be a culmination of current premium features and new technology including a 4K display and a new premium design.
The LG G3 would almost certainly be going head-to-head with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the new HTC One 2 which are both rumoured to feature new technology including 64-bit processors and fingerprint scanners.
Whilst phones other than the iPhone 5s do feature a fingerprint scanner they have not been as successfully implemented, we found that the HTC One Max, although innovative in its use of a scanner, ultimately failed when it came to everyday reliability.
Along with a fingerprint scanner it's expected that the LG G3 will launch with a large 4K display, a 16MP camera and a powerful 64-bit processor that would be able to take on the likes of Apple's own 64-bit A7 chip.
LG most recently saw success with the launch of the Google Nexus 5, a low-cost high-end smartphone that features Google's new Android 4.4 Android KitKat operating system.

The Cry of the Soul is a collection of essays from book writer and columnist Yasuhiro Nagata, a man who did a column for Famitsu. Each weekly column is a paragraph that contains an anecdote about people enjoying games together. It was written right in the period of time before the DS blew up and Nintendo expanded the market during the mid-2000s.
The style of the column makes everyone anonymous and in Japanese, pronouns and subjects aren't needed, so it's often impossible to tell the gender of the participants. Every now and then though, he'll label that week's characters as women or men. (The author sometimes posts his own experiences and sometimes those of his acquaintances and sometimes those of people who contact him to share their own stories.)
What makes the columns interesting is they revolve around a moment where somebody says something notable and Nagata interprets this moment as "the cry of the soul." This is when somebody suddenly says something that truly shows the nature of their soul from the bottom of their heart. Something that's not linguistically correct or even logical, but just kind of pops out of one's mouth organically while playing a game.
The book contains hundreds of columns and within those, today I thought I'd highlight a few of the more notable ones where he specifically notes the participant was female. I thought you might get a kick out of them:
Stated by K's sister. Original text taken from a reader submission. K and her sister were both game fans. They enjoyed their friendly game life by taking turns playing games together, telling each other about their strategies and so on. The two sisters especially loved RPGs and they each held the dream that one day they'd be able to maybe create their own. One day, the elder sister bought a game she'd been eying that might help bring them a little closer to their dream. It was RPG Maker Advance. Now that our older sister had this game that lets you use pre-made parts to create an original RPG, there were an endless amount of possibilities before her. What type of game should it be? What would the theme be? How about the setting? The story and its lore? The personality of the main character? How would they meet the heroine of the story and how would that scene be drawn? While she was thinking of this, the younger sister came, and noticing that the older sister had just brought home the game, with all the passion she could muster, implored her sister strongly. In particular, what did she shout to her sister? "Make a Homo RPG! With every single character as a man!" The older sister's grand vision was blown into smithereens. A heart that bluntly states the things it likes is a wonderful thing. However, I wonder if she couldn't be a little more mild in the way she expressed herself, wondered the sister? Rock 'n roll.
By the way, since then quite a few "Homo RPGs" have been created in RPG Maker, both by men and women. On to our next soul crier, a possible fright masochist:
Stated by a female customer. I had visited a small game shop located on the corner of a street mall. Looking through the games, I saw that contrary to the big chain stores, there was a lineup of old and new games mixed together. As I stood on the corner, I saw a pair of girls enter the shop together. The two were dressed like most of today's young girls and were screaming at each other delightedly in high pitched tones, so it wasn't hard to hear their conversation. "This looks scary, really scary." "It doesn't look that scary to me." "How about this?" "Eh, looks meh." "Look, maybe this is scary?" "This one here's more fun tho." It would appear that one was more informed about games. Whenever she took interest in a game, the other one shot it down without remorse. "This one's the sequel to that one." "Oh really." "This one's more silly than it is scary." "Look, look, look, look at this. Doesn't this one seem amazing?" "Oh that one? Bought it, hardly even played it." "Oh, okay …" One of them wanted to buy some sort of game, but the other one just seemingly wouldn't allow the purchase. If I'm allowed to be blunt, she was quite critical and cutting. The well-tanned pair's conversation straggled off and died. After some moments of silence, the female customer who had every one of her suggestions negated and undoubtedly felt pressed to say something, shouted in a strong tone. "I want to be scared out of my fucking miiiinnnd!" Stop hemming and hawing, if it's scary, whatever, we'll have fun, the girl argued. Rock 'n roll.
This next one's my favorite:
Stated by the wife of a friend. One day, our writer had visited a friend's house. For a very long time, our writer and his friend love of games was something they shared in common and even after his friend got married, they would sometimes play games together. His friend's wife, who had little interest in games would often look on from afar. However, that day was different. Our writer and his friend were deep into playing Samurai Warriors when, who knows why, his wife suddenly said, "I want to play." I think any male game fan who's been playing games for a long time will appreciate how precious an opportunity this is. I believe those men who have long been playing games will also appreciate how extremely carefully and delicately they wanted to convey the greatness of the game to her without any chance of misunderstanding. She gripped controller in her hands and began trying to choose a character. The two began explaining the intricacies like a wine connoisseur at a three-star restaurant. This character is hard to control, but strong; this one's got the speed; this one's got a really useful move; my recommendation is this one; well I think this one's the best personally … And at last, all of this information had been deposited into her brain. Against the backdrop of all that detailed and personalized advice, she made her decision and screamed. "I … am going to be a hot guy!" With that, she quickly picked Saneda Yukimura. Oh, well, yes, that's one option, sure, silently thought the two men. Rock 'n roll.
In any event, I think Nagata does a great job of depicting the lives and personalities of people who enjoy gaming. I might translate a few more at a later date. Let me know in the comments below if you want more. If you'd like to check out the book and you can read Japanese, you can get it on Amazon here.
Rock 'n roll, ravens!

There are some pretty impressive statues around the world, which have been built and erected by the most caring of artists for the needs of the neighbourhood within which they live. Whether they formally recognize a famous sportsperson or politician of the ages, they are indeed historical structures that make for solid eye candy of sorts. But have you ever stopped to think about what goes into making such things? Well, perhaps now is the time to do so because you might be nearing the time when you will need or want to get one for whatever you might want or need it for.
If you are going to want something big or small, this is going to have to be communicated to the people in line to do the designs for headstones and monuments. They will be trained monumental masons and should know exactly what they are talking about and when the job starts, they must be able to keep you updated on their plans and ambition. They would have done this before and will be doing it again plenty more in their future. So rely on their expertise, and trust that they have your best interest at heart and will be able to come up with the best pattern for you and your monument or statue.
While there is not a lot of variations for this, you can get different hues here and there. From a lighter hue to something a bit darker, the professionals again can advise you what direction to go with this. The material isn't always rock, and there are other materials that will need to be considered as well. Chat to the maker and the designer, ascertaining what combinations are going to work the best. They might have examples on record on their computer or even physical representations on their grounds to show you. This will really help you visualize things.
While you might have one idea in mind as to where you are eventually going to place this monument, the guys building the thing could tell you about an alternative that actually would work much better. This will need careful thought, in conjunction with all and sundry concerned. So take you time and perhaps move it around a bit to see what works better. Keep in mind the amount of exposure it is going to get to the sun or rain or wind or other greater elements.
Will the monument have writing on it? What will the writing say and will it be placed directly on the item or glued with a sign or something else. This is also something you are going to have to chat to them about. If they can't help you with this, then ask why they can't and ensure that you are willing to meet each other halfway. Perhaps you might have to pay a bit more for this sort of service. If this is the case, you would do well to understand the size of that cost before it comes along.

At EGA Products, hiring the best welders, machinists, and skilled tradesmen has paid off. In a world dominated by importers, EGA has held its own because it doubled down on a strategy to offer completely American Made material handling goods. Why? It matters to EGA, and it matters even more to their customers. Customers of EGA know they're buying handcrafted goods they can count on because at EGA having an eye for craftsmanship is why we're still here today.
Craftsman's weld vs. the imported welds of our contemporaries
Yes, not all manufacturers in our space offer welds from foreign nations (in entirety), but many do. Many others take the human eye out of the equation by using machine automation. At EGA, the metal craftsman has a home, because at EGA attention to detail and customization are foundations to providing customers with the best possible product to suit their needs. EGA Products manufactures all of their rolling stairs, work platforms, material handling equipment, and asset storage systems to meet specific customer needs.
MADE IN USA – EGA Products is a world-class manufacturer of American Made goods for demanding industrial environments. Every item in the EGA product line, big or small, has been conceived through customer need. Warehouse ladders, dock ladders, work platforms, step stools, and more have been sourced through a design to suit mentality.
SOLUTION CRITERIA – Customized solutions are what sets EGA apart. Where other competitors in the same space import their materials and some of their products, EGA has remained steadfast in their pursuit of a fully American made product line. This not only enables the best quality goods but also enables the ability to design and build on-demand and as needed. Some items are so popular, they are ready to buy now.

There are so many things you won't know when your kiddo is first diagnosed with autism.
There are so many things that will soon come right along to turn your world upside down.
There are so many things that will do their best to confuse you and crush you and end the dreams you held for your kiddos before they were diagnosed.
There are so many things that will turn your life into a gray zone that seems to hardly ever make sense.
There are so many things and people and words that will make you break into a puddle of tears for no-reason-at-all.
There are just so-many-things.
I felt that way when my boy was diagnosed in 2001. Oh how I felt that way and oh how that puddle of tears seemed to follow me wherever I went. I didn't know how to do autism. I didn't know if I was doing everything I could to help my boy. I didn't even know IF I could help my boy. I mean…AUTISM. I thought it was bigger than me. I thought it was bigger than my little boy. I thought back then, it was bigger than both of us. In those days of our early diagnosis, my boy was the classical case of autism lacking words and eye contact and interaction. He was sweet. He was cute. He was even cuddly but he was also all of those classic signs that screamed autism loudly into our lives. He was a Thomas the Tank Engine genius in a world dominated by Thomas, Percy, James, Diesel, Sir Topham Hat, Annie and Clarabel.
There were so many things. So many things they said he could not do and so many things he would not be because…A-U-T-I-S-M. And, let's be honest, it was the experts who were making predictions about my boy so who was I to question them? I was nothing more than a tired mom….so I crumbled and I cried and I fell apart at every turn because that's how I rolled in those early, post-diagnosis years. Until that one day when the person my boy was becoming ran counter to who they said he could be and, on that one day, I decided I'd never again put all my eggs/hopes/beliefs/dreams into any single basket the experts gave me. I decided right then to let my boy decide who he was going to be.
And that is the one day I stood up straight, strengthen my back bone and watched as our spectrum journey really began one day at a time, one step at a time, sometimes rolling fast and sometimes at a snail's pace, and always supporting my boy's progress.
So you wonderful Wonder Souls might be wondering what any of this has to do with the Spanish paper that's sitting at the top of this page. Today my boy is fifteen and I found this in the Spectrum Kiddo's room on Friday. It was folded up with the words on the inside sitting on his floor and, on a lark and thinking it was trash, I opened it up. And then my jaw fell open because…GOBSMACKED.
There are just so many things that I did not expect.
There are just so many ways autism has opened my eyes.
There are just so many ways he leaves me gobsmacked more times than I'd like to admit.
For a boy who was not supposed to make it out of Special Ed classes, for a boy who had a severe speech delay and who still is working on mastering conversational English, for a boy who one teacher recommended this year should have a one on one aide…well, just look at THIS. SPANISH. My boy, just like any other kiddo in his class, doing his homework in Spanish.
Simple, right? It's just Spanish homework, silly girl.
To the rest of the world..sure.
For us..it's simple and complex and mystical and gobsmacking because he is so much more than the plethora of "theys" said he could or would or should be when their abysmal evaluation listed all the pieces that would never be part of my boy's life and yet, despite the experts and their in-stone predictions, here we are.
He is already so much more than that limited view of life they predicted would be his goal. He is so just so much more…on every level.
My boy is so much more than anyone could have ever expected him or projected him to be. And while I understand that evaluations are important in their own right to gauge where a child's growth currently stands…don't let anyone hamper your vision of your child. Don't ever stop seeing your kiddo as the whole and brilliant child that they are because different is not less.
Always dream.
Always hope.
Always raise those expectations and goals.
And just when you may be falling into that puddle of tears, remember….SPANISH…because Spanish homework papers don't lie. It's right there…in brown and white.
Sparkle On, my friends.

Jewish World Review April 6, 2011 / 2 Nissan, 5771
Obama's Sideline Strategy
By Jonah Goldberg
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Obama's in!
In truly unshocking news,
Don't get him wrong. There will be expensive TV ads and extravaganzas. Oh, yes. After all, what would an Obama campaign be without its outsized, world-historic, bread and circus spectacles?
In fact, that's the real point of Obama's early announcement: He needs to start raising hundreds of millions of dollars now if he's going to have those extravaganzas later. (Personally, I hope he makes another campaign stop in
If it weren't for that, Obama would be delighted to stay on the sidelines, because his whole re-election strategy requires going on semi-hiatus from the presidency. That's why he's been AWOL on the budget battles. It's why he's completely ignored his own deficit commission, and it's why he's been saying as little as possible on foreign policy. It's also why, last week, he accepted an award for government "transparency" in secret.
You can even play "Where's Obama?" in the re-election announcement video. He never makes a personal appearance; you never even hear his voice. Though if you watch closely, you can see some nostalgic photos from 2008. The wan video specifies no significant record or accomplishments. This was no updated version of
The problem with the analogy: Payton was overused because he delivered. There's not a lot of evidence that Obama can be counted on to advance, never mind score, whenever you give him the ball. Nearly all of his victories have stemmed not from presidential persuasion of the opposition or the public but from relying on the congressional Democrats' majority. He gave 52 speeches on health-care reform in 2009. It never got more popular. It passed because he shopped out health care to
The fact that Obama's decision to intervene in
Obviously, Obama fervently hopes the economy will at least "feel" a lot better by 2012. But that's a big if, given high unemployment and underemployment as well as the decline in real income and home values. Even if we get the jobs, Obama will have a hard time answering the "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" question.
I understand why Obama is lying low. What's less understandable is why so many Republicans are scared of him.

Opening faculty meeting 9 a.m., Friday, Aug. 21
The annual fall semester faculty meeting will be held Friday, Aug. 21, at 9 a.m. in the Creative Arts building's McKenna Theatre. Coffee and tea will be available prior to the meeting, beginning at 8:30 a.m., and a reception will follow from 11 a.m. to noon in Jack Adams Hall, located inside the Cesar Chavez Student Center.
Way named associate dean of academic planning
Following a national search, Lori Beth Way was appointed as associate dean of academic planning in the newly named Division of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning (formerly Undergraduate Studies).
Way comes to SF State most recently from Emerson College, where she served as the senior advisor for undergraduate education. In this capacity she worked closely with chairs and faculty on campus-wide assessment, program review and curriculum development.
Prior to her work at Emerson, Way was a faculty member for 14 years in the Department of Political Science at California State University, Chico, where she exercised leadership in the Academic Senate and played an instrumental role in the design and implementation of Chico's new General Education Program. She earned her bachelor's degree in communication from the College of New Jersey and her master's degree and Ph.D. in political science from the Maxwell School of Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
At SF State, Way will oversee assessment, program review and curriculum development while supporting general education and Writing Across the Curriculum/Writing in the Disciplines.
"This is an important position in the division, supporting the key functions of curriculum development, accreditation, assessment and program review," said Dean of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning Jennifer Summit. "Lori Beth Way will bring considerable energy, expertise and fresh thinking to the job. I know that we will benefit greatly from her presence."
John Elia, interim associate dean in the College of Health & Social Sciences, chaired the search committee. Other members of the search committee included Robert Keith Collins, associate professor in American Indian Studies; Gail Dawson, chair/associate professor of Art; Darryl Dieter, director of Academic Institutional Research; Alexandra Katz, curriculum coordinator in the Division of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning; Genie Stowers, professor of Public Administration; and Jo Volkert, senior associate vice president of Enrollment Management.
Bee named interim AVP of University Communications
Adrianne Bee was appointed interim associate vice president of University Communications effective July 1. She joined the department in 1999 and became editor of SF State Magazine before stepping into the larger role of director of creative services. The magazine and other publications produced by the creative services team have won a number of honors from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), including the Gold Award for University Magazines and the Gold Award for Individual In-House Publications. Bee began her career as a reporter for The Roanoke Times. She later worked as a technology reporter, elementary school teacher and writing instructor before becoming a publicist/staff writer for the California Medical Association. She earned her B.A. in English literature from Virginia Tech.
Esquibel to serve as director of General Education
Associate Professor of Race and Resistance Studies Catriona Rueda Esquibel will serve as the new director of General Education in the Division of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning. In this role, she will work closely with the Academic Senate, academic programs and faculty, and University-wide committees to lead the University's new General Education (GE) program. Esquibel has served on GE committees both at SF State and at New Mexico State University, and she has taught extensively in GE courses. As well as coordinating the submission and approval of new GE course proposals, Esquibel will support the existing GE program through faculty outreach and development and student learning assessment.

Asian American Studies
Professor and Chair of Asian American Studies Grace J. Yoo received the 2015 outstanding book award on Asian America from the American Sociological Association Asian/Asian American section for her co-authored book "Caring Across Generations: The Linked Lives of Korean American Families" published by NYU Press. Also, Yoo was interviewed for a feature story in the June/July edition of the journal KoreAm.
Associate Professor of Asian American Studies Jonathan H. X. Lee was selected as an editor for the Routledge Series on Asian Migration. The new series is designed to address various imminent trends of international migration in Asia and the development of diaspora communities while broadening discussions of the relationship between migration and globalization, transnationalism, development, intercultural studies and identity and diaspora.
Communication Studies
Professor of Communication Studies Gust A. Yep was presented the Leroy F. Aarons Award for "significant contributions to LGBTQ media education and research" at the Annual Conference of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) on Aug. 8. Founded in 1912, AEJMC is a national nonprofit educational association of journalism and mass communication educators, students and media professionals whose mission is to advance education, foster scholarly research, cultivate better professional practice and promote the free flow of communication. In his acceptance speech, "Immortalizing the Legacy of Roy Aarons," Yep discussed the role of intellectual activism in his teaching and research as a means to bring awareness to the symbolic and material violences of social hierarchies based on sexuality, culture, race, class, gender, nation and the body.
Professor of Economics Sudip Chattopadhyay is the recipient of the ORISE Fellowship for the year 2015-16. The fellowship program is funded and administered by the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE). The goal of the ORISE Fellow program is to enhance the educational programs offered by academic institutions, strengthen the scientific and technical manpower base, transfer knowledge and technology to the academic community and support a growing national commitment to science education. As the ORISE Fellow, Chattopadhyay will be on professional leave from SF State to engage in establishing a research agenda for the Health Resources Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Health Education
Professor of Health Education Erik Peper co-authored the book "Cerebral Investigation of a Yoga Master During Meditation -- Findings from Collaborative Research," which was published by Showado Publisher, Fukuoka, Japan.
Health & Social Sciences
Interim Dean of the College of Health & Social Sciences Alvin Alvarez received the Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring Award from the American Psychological Association's Society of Counseling Psychology earlier this week. The award was given in recognition of Alvarez's work as the founder and director of the Leadership Development Institute for the Council of National Psychological Associations for the Advancement of Ethnic Minority Interests, which promotes diversity in the field of psychology. Read more about Alvarez on SF State News.
Professor Emeritus of Journalism John Burks is the president of the board of Study Center, which provides research, editorial, graphic arts and fiscal sponsorship services to Bay Area nonprofits, foundations and public agencies. Burks is also a frequent contributor to the group's monthly publication, Central City Extra.
Mission control, we have a lag
A July 14 Phys.org article reported on protocols developed for NASA by Professor of Psychology Kathleen Mosier and her team of student researchers to address long-distance communication delays. "We're assessing the impact of the time delay on performance effectiveness and developing protocols and procedures that astronauts will eventually use to counteract the negative effects," Mosier said. "Most students don't get the opportunity to do research that has such immediate applications."
Generational dreams and duties
Professor and Chair of Asian American Studies Grace J. Yoo was interviewed for a July 14 KoreAm feature story about the book "Caring Across Generations: The Linked Lives of Korean American Families," which she co-authored with Barbara Kim (CSU Long Beach). "Children of immigrants of many varied backgrounds may experience this kind of 'care work' [responsibility] over a lifetime as they straddle language, culture and worlds for their parents, but also navigate the structural constraints immigrants face, including everyday racism," Yoo said. "The 1.5- and second-generation Korean American experience is unique to this generation. We are the 'dream' generation -- immigrant parents put their hopes and dreams onto us. The next generation doesn't need to fulfill another generation's dreams, but just their own. In some sense, this is a privilege. The ability to not think about another generation. The third generation has privilege. They can just be."
Urgent action needed, still waiting
On July 30, The New York Times and other major outlets reported on a warning by Associate Professor of Biology Vance Vredenburg and fellow biologists that urgent action is needed to protect North American salamanders from a deadly fungus. "People really didn't believe that something could happen that was so bad [as the decimation of North American frog populations by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, or Bd], I really don't want to see that happen again," Vredenburg said. "You would think there would be something in place. We really need a government agency at some level to take action and do something [to stop or regulate importation of salamanders]."
Fortuitous timings a teachable moment
On Aug. 10, The Washington Post, NBC News, The San Francisco Examiner and others reported on the discovery by Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy Stephen Kane and a team of astronomers of Kepler-453b, a planet orbiting in the habitable zone of two stars. "If we had observed this planet earlier or later than we did, we would have seen nothing and assumed there was no planet there," Kane said. "That suggests that there are a lot more of these kinds of planets than we are thinking, and we're just looking at the wrong time."
Corporate culture clash?
Professor of Management Sally Baack commented on a New York Times article about working conditions at Amazon for an Aug. 17 KCBS radio report. "In the startup culture [and] the high-tech culture we see a lot of disgruntled employees who have left the company use those kinds of descriptions to describe the environment that they've been in, so you might expect that of very early-stage companies or very early-stage career employees," Baack said. "It's less common to see this kind of description in more established companies and with employees that are at a later stage of their career at a higher level, so that's interesting too."

A short article at Sparta Point reinforces the idea that SLEEP IS AS IMPORTANT AS TRAINING. I've been a big fan of sleep ever since I read a quote in Easy Strength that said something like "strength loves rest". If you want to get stronger (and healthier, and prevent injury, and…) then take your sleep more seriously.
Here are some of my favorite sleep tips:
- Get 8-10 hours of quality sleep every night.
- Use a white noise machine to block out neighborhood or house noise, or wear ear plugs.
- Get blackout shades or wear a sleep mask.
- Sleep in a comfortable bed.
- Turn off TV/Technology 2 hours before bed.
- Don't eat or drink 2 hours before bed.
- Write out your next day's to-do list before bed.

Why AAHA Accreditation Matters
The American Animal Hospital Association is the only organization to accredit companion animal veterinary hospitals in the US and Canada. Only 12-15% of veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada are accredited by AAHA. Unlike human hospitals, not all animal hospitals are required to be accredited.
What does accreditation mean? It means your hospital holds itself to a higher standard, and that your pet is receiving care at a hospital that has passed the highest standards in veterinary care. AAHA sends consultants to AAHA-accredited veterinary hospitals every three years to evaluate hospitals on their adherence to the AAHA Standards of Accreditation. AAHA consultants evaluate hospitals on approximately 900 different standards of veterinary care.
Accreditation by AAHA is the only way to know a veterinary practice is operating at the highest standards of excellence in animal care. Pet owners gain peace of mind when they choose an accredited practice, because they know their AAHA-accredited hospital has passed the highest standards of veterinary care.
Checkout the AAHA Standards page for information regarding AAHA and what it means to your pet.

To have a crush on
Posted by Bob on June 07, 2003
In Reply to: To have a crush on posted by ESC on June 07, 2003
: : Why is the word 'crush' used to as a synonym for an infatuation? I know a crush can mean a hug, but it still doesn't entirely make sense to me...
: : Crushable Camel
: I didn't find the "why" but I found the "when."
: CRUSH ON, TO HAVE A - To be infatuated with, attracted to. This euphemism originated in the United States as a slang term about 1914. It was institutionalized by the popular song of the twenties, written by the Gershwins (George and Ira), which crooned, "I've got a crush on you, Sweetie Pie.' In later usage, ca. 1929, A CRUSH became the person one HAD A THING FOR, or in British terms, WAS GONE ON." From "Wordsworth Book of Euphemism" by Judith S. Neaman and Carole G. Silver (Wordsworth Editions, Hertfordshire, 1995)
There's a nice scene in the film "Sixteen Candles" where Samantha admits to being in pain from not being noticed by the boy she likes . Her father (played by Paul Dooley) says That's why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they'd call them something else.

SAN BERNARDINO – The deferred payments to CalPERS and others that make up more than half of the savings in the pendency plan the City Council passed Monday will be paid over a number of years without further cuts being required, officials said Tuesday.
At least that's the plan.
"We're hopeful we can restructure current spending, which is what we've attempted to do (in the pendency plan) and that we can reorganize the debt with manageable payments and still provide essential city services," Councilwoman Wendy McCammack said. "That is the monumental task."
The council approved $26million in cuts and $34million in deferrals in the 12-page document that will be presented to bankruptcy court as a pendency plan, plus guide spending for fiscal years 2012-13 and 2013-14.
And it's a workable part of a plan to get the city back on secure financial footing as it moves through bankruptcy, Mayor Pat Morris said.
"It does temporarily balance the budget assuming the deferrals are granted by the court," Morris said. "It gives us a balance sheet that does work."
The deferrals section of the plan comes in five parts:
$15 million in reimbursements to other city funds that have been borrowed from, with reimbursement "addressed in future years"
$12.9 million in payments to the California Public Employee Retirement System. The city plans to continue paying the employee withholding portion, resume payments in 2013-14 and pay the rest at a date to be negotiated with CalPERS
$3.5 million owed to employees for paid time off, which has been suspended
$3.4 million in deferred pension bond payments

Dear Editor
Earlier this month, at Westminster Abbey, there was a Service of Thanksgiving for the politician and diplomat Lord 'Paddy' Ashdown who died last year.
In the Epilogue of his last book – "Nein! Standing Up To Hitler 1935-1944" – Lord Ashdown concludes:
"There are also, as Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Bishop Bell argued, moral questions to be addressed here"
Later next month, in Chichester Cathedral*, some of those questions will be addressed at the Coburg Conference which "will focus on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's and George Bell's work, and what it can teach us in the light of today's political situation".
Yours sincerely
Richard W. Symonds
The Bell Society
* October 10th to 14th. Venue: 4 Canon Lane (formerly George Bell House), Chichester Cathedral

First, you carry out a reservation to purchase the Sion. Here you have a two-week right of withdrawal. In the second step, we offer you a purchase contract in the end of 2021. Here, too, a two-week right of revocation and withdrawal applies. You have the possibility to pick up your Sion directly at the factory in Trollhättan. In addition, we are working on a completely new delivery concept. For an extra charge, it will also be possible to deliver your Sion to your desired location.
Frequently Asked Questions
After your reservation you will receive a payment link from us. After the payment you will receive a payment confirmation and you will automatically be on the waiting list.
Please note: if you make a reservation during our Community Funding Campaign, we will only ask you for payment if we reach our campaign target of 50 million euros by 20/01/2020. There is thus no risk for you. More information about our campaign can be found on our website.
Your reservation is a purchase option. At a later date you will receive the purchase contract from us. You can then sign it and purchase the Sion or have your deposit refunded.
The Sion costs 25,500 euros including German VAT at market launch.
The basic price for the vehicle is 16,000 euros plus the cost of the battery. We're planning to offer the battery at a one-time purchase price as well as with the option of renting or leasing it. The reason for excluding the battery from the price is that we want to always offer the most up-to-date price. We expect the price to be around 9,500 euros. We will calculate the final price for the battery based on the market rates for battery cells at the time of production.
The following applies to all persons preordering the Sion: you'll receive a purchase offer for the Sion before delivery commences and you'll, again, have the option of either purchasing the Sion and signing the contract or opting for a refund of your down payment.
The rights provided under German law for terminating contracts still apply.
Germany's regular statutory provisions for warranties apply. On top of that, Sono Motors is providing a warranty for the Sion of probably two years or 100,000 kilometers as well as a warranty for the battery of two years, 100,000 kilometers or 2,000 charge cycles.
The first Sion will roll off the production line in Trollhättan in September 2021. These vehicles are used for type approval and process assurance in production. The delivery of the customer vehicles will then start at the beginning of 2022. Unfortunately, we cannot yet plan individual delivery dates today.
During the first stage, you can preorder and make a down payment on a Sion. It comes with a two-week reflection period. In the second stage, in 2021 we will offer you a contract to purchase a Sion. Again, you'll have a two-week reflection period, during which you can cancel the contract. You have the possibility to pick up your Sion directly at the plant in Trollhättan. Additionally, we are working on an entirely new delivery concept. For an extra charge it will probably be possible to deliver your Sion to your desired location as well.

MIYAVI is a Japanese musician, actor and philanthropist who has gained international recognition and acclaim for his unique guitar style, using his fingers instead of a pick to create an elaborate sound both musically and rhythmically. He was appointed as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador in November 2017.
In 2015 MIYAVI undertook his first visit to learn about UNHCR's frontline work, travelling to Lebanon and performing his song "The Others" with refugees he met there. The music video was released in 2016 - directed and produced by UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie and MIYAVI - featuring refugees from around the globe. MIYAVI visited Lebanon again in 2016 to learn more about refugees' experiences, as well as Thailand in 2017 to meet Karen refugees from Myanmar.
In early 2018 MIYAVI visited some of the 688,000 Rohingya refugees that had recently arrived in Bangladesh - fleeing violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state - and heard their stories of desperation, hope, and the desire to safely return home. He later reflected on his experiences in conversation with UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie.
MIYAVI has used his talent, voice and platform to help support various UNHCR campaigns, including #WithRefugees and the Nansen Refugee Award, at which he performed in 2017. His ongoing promotion of UNHCR's global work on his social media channels has helped raise awareness of the refugee cause with a much wider audience. He has been particularly vocal on the need for refugee children to receive quality education.

Moody's is about to release earnings. Ponder this Bear Case Scenario.
After the mortgage crisis the entire ratings industry took a reputational beating and quite rightfully so. But they survived but hopefully everyone has learnt to read their reports a little bit more closely.
If the market and economy dips Moody's and others may take a few more slaps in the face which means more lawsuits.
Olde lawsuits are still out standing and it would be nice for shareholders to know they are settled. Just lawyers making fees for no good reason.
What is really left to generate growth. Ratings are ordered up when capital is issued. If deals requiring ratings slow then new fees will wither.
This company will be so easy to sue in the future for the slightest little miscue.
George Gutowski writes from a caveat emptor perspective.

Re: need freight forwarding Co. to ship pets Chile-UK
I know that **** move everything to everywhere, including pets , so perhaps you could give them a call. As far as household moves, they are highly recommended, by myself and others. I dont know if you've moved cats before, but if not, then you should bear in mind that they suffer enormous stress, not like dogs, and you are talking about a long, long distance. Sorry, but it's not allowed to mention business names, but perhaps you can guess it , as it has 4 letters and I think it is the most well known international mover in Chile.

You love your home, and you love your children. But you don't love the idea of your children messing up your home. Just because you are a parent, doesn't mean you have to submit to everything that parenting entails- like toys all over the house. It's ok to want a clean looking space. So how can you let your children play freely, while keeping your home free of trucks and blocks and dolls? Speak to some granny flat builders about creating a separate playroom for the kids in the form of a granny flat.
Not only will a granny flat allow your children a space of their own to play, it will give you peace of mind knowing that you won't have to worry about tripping over toys, or cleaning them up every day. With a playroom, your kids can make as big of a mess as they want, and they won't be interfering with the look of a nicely kept room.
Before you start building your granny flat, you do have a lot to consider. Most granny flats are designed with features to accommodate their dwellers.
So you need to think about kid-friendly elements when designing your granny flat. Consider the following:
- Would carpet or hardwood floors be better?
- Do you want bedrooms in your granny flat?
- Does your granny flat need a bathroom?
- Will you be able to see into the granny flat from your main home?
If your children are older, you might want to include things like a bathroom, or bedrooms, so they can each have their own space within the granny flat. If your children are younger, you might feel more comfortable having carpet as the flooring. You also need to decide just how much space they need. Do you want a smaller square footage or something big and spacious? You can really make this playroom special. You want it to be somewhere that the kids enjoy going, and a space that they can grow with.
Additionally, it is good to think about how you will use the granny flat once the kids are grown and gone. Will you renovate it to be a rental property? Will you turn it into a home office? Even though you want a kid-friendly space right now, you might want to consider the future when designing your granny flat. Perhaps you will go from using it as a children's playroom to using it as a mother-in-law suite. In that case, you would probably want a kitchen added. The kids don't need a kitchen, so you could design the playroom in a way that would allow for future add-ons to the property.
One of the best ways to get your kids excited about a granny flat playroom is to let them help design it. Allow them to choose the paint colors, or the type of carpet, or the style of window blinds- things that can easily be replaced. They would love putting their own special touch on their own special space!

Top 10 Breakfasts From Around The World
In case you're one of those people into so-called food porn (come on, who isn't?), Rough Guides has compiled a list of the best breakfasts you can find around the world to fulfill your inner-most culinary desires.
Included in the list is Phô, from Vietnam, which can be a little hard getting used to for Westerners unaccustomed to steaming-hot bowls of soup at 7 a.m. (or at least eaten at 7 a.m. after waking up — not after a long night out). Also mentioned is Egypt's stewed fava bean dish, Ful Medames (above); Lebanon's Manouché (chewy flatbread topped with za'atar — wild thyme and oregano — and olive oil); and of course the Greek classic, yogurt and honey, the breakfast/dessert that only seems healthy when compared to the classic American diner breakfast of fried eggs and bacon.

Well, this is a hell of a way to start off the New Year…
For those blissfully not-in-the-know, Logan Paul is a YouTube personality who is most well-known for his vlogs and rap tracks who fancies himself to be a rebel (you know, like every OTHER YouTuber that I don't give two s***s about until they f*** up).
Though, starting this year, he'll be known for something far worse.
Logan had just gotten finished with a set of vlogs of his tour through Japan in which he does just about everything in his power to make an absolute ass of himself (and, by extension, fellow Americans) in a foreign land. He plays up Japanese stereotypes in public and pesters and annoys strangers just trying to go about their day in a multitude of ways.
But, probably most egregious of all, Logan filmed himself in the infamous Aokigahara "Suicide Forest" where many good people have ended their own lives. He then proceeded to film and post the video containing the ACTUAL body of a man who hung himself to death.
Let's be clear about something here; Part of why this is so terrible is that Logan would have been hated and ostracised for all of these actions IN HIS OWN COUNTRY. The fact that he thought he could get away with this behavior in a foreign land – in someone else's home – displays a horrifying level cultural insensitivity and lack of basic social etiquette.
But the fact that Logan did do this in another country makes matters SO much worse. Whether you like to admit it or not, most people HATE Americans; they see us a rude, boorish, uneducated, clod-hoppers that care only about themselves. Hell, even OTHER AMERICANS hate Americans.
The second you set foot outside of your territory, you become an involuntary representative of your country. To that end, it behooves you to understand the laws and customs of the land and respect them and the people who follow them. By doing otherwise, Logan has made it so that those that were sickened by his antics – which is most, if not all, of Japan – now have their views of Americans tarnished, making opening a meaningful dialog between the two of us even more difficult to the chagrin of those who've been working towards open exchange all their lives. Don't believe me? Just look at fellow YouTuber Gaijin Goombah, who spent YEARS living with a Japanese family with the goal of cultural exchange, get nearly tear-jerkingly wrathful at how Logan acted.
Of course, it's not just cultural sensitivity that's on the plate; it's also making light of suicide. Take it from Boogie2988 who has actually struggled with suicidal depression. Hell, take it from ME who has shared his own experience on the subject multiple times.
Logan has apologized for his actions and the Aokigahara footage has been removed, but the fact that his other Japan vlogs still remain seems to show that he doesn't truly grasp just how far he stepped over the line. So, I want to conclude by shifting gears from an only semi-serious rant to a VERY serious open letter to Logan Paul about what he did.
Logan – Mister Paul. What you have done not only made you and your fellow Americans look like even bigger laughing stocks but hurt countless others around the world. I truly want to believe that you meant no harm, but your history and choice of words and actions refuse to let me believe that you were actually thinking about the greater good when you made those videos. You have made life infinitely more difficult for those coping with suicide and suicidal depression, for our friends in other countries, for those of us looking to connect with and aid both of them, and for your fellow YouTube Personalities.
I know you're taking time off from your vlogs to reflect on all this and I hope you can find some form understanding in that time. If you need to reach out to someone to discuss this, I hope you find the courage to do so because some of us want to see you get through this and become a better person for your experiences. I hope you understand that being a celebrity of sorts – even a minor one as compared to those outside of YouTube – comes with an obligation to use your charisma and cult of personality to unite people and guide them towards a better future together.
Please don't let this be the end, Logan; prove to this world that you can learn from and rise above your mistakes.

Monday Miscellany
14 comments:
That research explains a lot. And here I thought I was having senior moments when it is a matter of going through a door way and entering a different room. Fascinating.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, Terra, that's what I thought. It made me feel better anyway.Delete
I read John's post and was thankful that I live in the van. Only three doors one for the shower, one for the toilet. The facilities give me a clue what I've gone in for.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes Adrian. Whichever room in the house I go into I'm highly unlikely to go for a set purpose although even I am unlikely to forget what I went into the bathroom for. Unless, of course, it's for a first aid item or the sunblock or.... Perhaps it's not so straightforward even there.Delete
Now that you've mentioned it, I shall look out for 2-pound-coins when I'll be in England in six weeks.ReplyDelete
Five doors between your study and bedroom! I had no idea you live in a mansion. Is your bedroom in the east or west wing?Replies
It's hardly a mansion Meike. In fact it's not very large at all. It just has a lot of rooms and is a very peculiar layout.Delete
I guess the 2-pound coins are slowly going the way of the US$2.00 bill.ReplyDelete
I don't think I can blame the "event boundary" theory for forgetting stuff, especially if it's only a few feet away from where I started out and no doors involved.
"Fresh eggs" need to be apart from the "Not so Fresh eggs."...smile.Replies
Yes, Virginia, it's all rather odd. Mind you a £2 coin's just as cumbersome as 2 x £1 coins. I'm with you on the "event boundary" theory not being the only way of forgetting things.Delete
I wonder if it makes any difference if the doors are open? Mine are rarely closed, so perhaps there is no justification for my forgetfulness. Great shot of the rescue craft, I can imagine what a welcome sight that is sometimes!ReplyDeleteReplies
Pauline, it seems not to matter if the doors are open, it is entering another room that is the important thing. In fact, it applies even to virtual rooms in computer games. I first heard about that research over a year ago and also blogged about it back then (I just went back to check my own post).Delete
I'm not sure, Pauline, whether the state of the door in the doorway is actually relevant. I'd blame it anyway. It gives me some comfort.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've been blaming my doorways ever since I first heard about it :) I "only" have four between my bedroom and study but it's enough!Delete
oh, my! I'll take any excuse for why I've forgotten why I'm in a room and can't remember why. But it does work for me to retrace my steps to remind myself!ReplyDeleteReplies
I wish that it worked for me Norma.Delete

To make a web site useful and fitting it's goal, we absolutely have to know witch content the web surfers expect accessing this web site.
Based on search-tools top requests Edit
One solution is to list witch requests, linked to the purpose of the site, are made by internauts in search-tools (Google...); e.g. if we want to promote Wikihowto, we have to know what they are looking for including the words "howto" or "how to" or "Guide to".
When we know this, the priority is to develop the related content, or to advise contributors to develop this content when possible. Doing so, the site will get frequent access thru search-tools (e.g. providing answers to the top 100 basic Howtos and Guides, Wikihowto will naturally urge the surfers to create, or look for, many other specialized Howtos and Guides).
To get this information Edit
Here are sites that provide this information for free:
- https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal (search based on one or more kee words, e.g. "how to")
- http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ (search based on one keyword, English, seems not very accurate)
- http://inventory.fr.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion (search based on one keyword, French)
- https://account.fr.miva.com/advertiser/Account/Popups/KeywordGenBox.asp (search based on one or more key words, does not run with some words, strange!?)
- http://www.indicateur.com/Doc/generateurs_mots_cles.asp (French interface that list sites offering this service for several languages)
To analyse this information Edit
For example we get this result:
- how to refinance 5186
- how to download music to psp 2680
- how to chat 1780
- …/…
- how to write a resume 2
- how to write a review 1
Next steps :
- The lists of searches need to be filtered to remove the queries not in conformance with the policy of the site.
- The queries with highest frequency need to be reordered by sense. It's necessary to keep ALL the queries typed by the internauts and develop content using all these specific wordings (in fact develop a single content linked to several redirect links).
To promote the development of the expected content Edit
To build an index of expectations explaining how it was produced, send it to site contributors and put a link in the Welcome page.

Navy Veterans Face Greater Risk of Asbestos-Related Illness
On this 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, we salute those who lost their lives on the "date which will live in infamy."
The survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack and World War II are leaving us pretty quickly nowadays, some of them from asbestos-related illness, especially mesothelioma--the cancer caused by asbestos exposure.
The Navy was aware of the dangers of asbestos exposure as early as 1939 when the Surgeon General of the Navy discussed the "Hazards of Asbestosis" in his annual report.
Navy ships were being built "loaded with asbestos from bow to stern" until the early 1970's, but those built earlier were till in service for many years after that, causing disease that would not be discovered until years or decades later, often having reached an advance--and basically untreatable--stage.
We would like to spend a moment thinking of all of our veterans, those who gave their all, those who came home injured, and those who are still suffering today. Thank you for your service. If you would like to read more about asbestos use in the US Navy, here is a link to Mesothelioma & Navy Veterans at Asbestos.com.
Today we also celebrate a milestone, our 200th blog post at Alliance Environmental Group! Wendy Stackhouse is the Online Community Manager and Blogger for Alliance Environmental Group and AirTek Indoor Air Solutions. We welcome your comments! For more news and tips or to ask questions of our experts, Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter! For updates on indoor air challenges, Like us at AirTek on Facebook!

Top, Trousers, Sandals
Well we all know I love to be comfy, and this outfit is the ultimate in cool comfort! I'm loving the celine inspired paint stroke prints that are everywhere at the minute and I loved the lightweight material and the way this top hung, so it came home with me! These trousers are also from Topshop and are a perfect take on the sports luxe trend. They are slightly high waisted and have a draped crossover at the crotch (similar to a skort) which makes them super flattering. They're also the perfect trouser to dress up and down, defs on to a winner with these!! Finally are my £8 (maybe £6, my memory is not my strong point) sandals from Primark. These are surprisingly comfy and look a lot more expensive with the gold buckle detailing and platform, would definitely recommend getting a pair if you haven't already!
Love, Hannah x

Comedy Central Takes on Dan Snyder in South Park's 18th Season Premiere: Teaser Ran in Commercial during Washington/Philadelphia NFL Game
WASHINGTON — Comedy Central weighed in on the Washington NFL's team name controversy during the Washington vs. Philadelphia game in a commercial aired Sunday afternoon.
FOX aired the one-minute ad promoting the premiere of the 18th season of "South Park" during a fourth-quarter commercial that was seen in the Washington D.C. area only.
The ad was a teaser for the episode that will air Wednesday. The ad is a parody of Washington NFL team owner Dan Snyder's claim that that his continued usage of the R-word for the Washington football team is to honor American Indians.
In the upcoming episode Cartman is running a business named as the same name as the Washington NFL team. Dan Snyder finds it offensive. Cartman is doing it to "honor" Snyder and the football team.
You may view the YouTube version here and watch the entire "South Park" episode on Wednesday night.
