What does money mean to you?
Is it something to buy happiness? Some people use money to buy stuff to make them happy. Unfortunately that happiness will never last because once we buy the stuff, we tend to lose interest in it over time. When new things come out, we want the next thing, thinking that it will give us happiness again. It goes on and on.
We cannot be happy just by buying happy meals

Teresita and the Hearts Of Love members really show what can be done when we put our creative talents to work. Do click your needles together and wave your hooks as we welcome Teresita to Knit1fortheRoad...
A. I have always been active in helping others with health care information. I have coordinated several Health Education Fairs and also have done workshops sharing information about Breast Cancer Education and Prevention. Then on March 18th, 2008, my husband received a Prostate cancer diagnosis right on our anniversary. It changes things all in an instant. So one month later I had begun this Ravelry group which has evolved into what it is today,"HEARTS OF LOVE" where members create chemo caps with fashion flair and radiance to brighten the days of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Q. Do you have favorite items that the group makes for cancer patients?
A. Our group enjoys making chemo caps for all ages now....infants, children, teens and adults. There are so many children that at such a young age already are diagnosed with cancer. I call these little warriors "THE YOUNG and SO BRAVE" and we actually share info with our members about children with cancers for their parents and family. In addition to chemo caps, we also making scarves which pair up nicely with the chemo caps. Dishcloths and washcloths are also very thoughtful gifts to make as well along with comfort shawls and lapghans. These would be our favorite items.
Q. Hearts of Love is growing by leaps and bounds. How do you juggle being the moderator with everyday life?
A. Keeping "HEARTS OF LOVE" active and enjoyable for our members is just part of my everyday. It is a way to channel my energy into inspiring others and empowering others that we can all make a difference...... you could say that "YES we can!" So this is just part of my everyday life and it brings joy into my life knowing that I too am doing something to fight back against all that cancer hurts and takes away from us.
Q. Do you knit and crochet? What are you currently learning or working on?
A. I crochet, knit, loom knit and also enjoy plastic canvas needlepoint. I work on chemo caps, dishcloths, and baby items (blankies, booties, bibs, washcloths and bibs) for my local chapter of STITCHES FROM THE HEART charity organization that I began for my community in June, 2008. I am the Area Representative for our chapter which meets monthly. I am also a "blanketeer" for my local PROJECT LINUS.
Q. I saw a thread called What's Cooking - regarding recipes. Do you have any special recipes that you can recommend to take away some winter chill?
A. I do love a good bowl of 3 alarm chili. Of course here in California we aren't struggled with the freezing snow and harsh winter conditions as many parts of the country where our friends do live. Our members add fun recipes to match the season or just a favorite. There are some nice recipes for "Chinese New Year of the Ox" and of course already some dinners to make for Valentine's Day."
Q. How have your group members inspired you?
A. I enjoy the personal letters that members write me and share their stories with me. I have made some wonderful friends in this group that write me often and make me very happy to be their friends. I think inspiration and joy is reciprocal..... as you inspire others, it comes back to you twice over. This group is all about caring and realizing that we can all reach out and warm someone's heart in a loving way. It doesn't matter where we live or our age or our ethnic background. We are all connected by being here and can do so much to brighten the days of our lives.
Q. Is there anything you would like to add that we haven't covered?
A. Taking care of ourselves is very important. We all get busy. Yet it is very important to learn about lowering cancer risks in our own lives. There are controllable and uncontrollable risks that we face. We can fight back against cancers in learning what factors we can control. This is something that we can do.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis does change things. But it is up to us how we are going to go on with our lives and fight back to go forward. There is much more to this disease than simply the radiation and the chemo or whatever other treatment one receives. It's an entire process of being informed and the many doctor visits and then the treatment. Then there is life after treatment which can be difficult in learning how to cope with the physical, mental, and emotional changes that we have undergone. So being a friend and support to someone battling cancer and learning about support groups is indeed a special way that we can help others. Cancer survivors will tell you that the support they received from others was a big part of their healing and recovery. So come on over to "HEARTS OF LOVE Ravelry" and visit our "Hope & Support Resources" for lots of very helpful resources. Each of us can really make a difference and no amount of love is ever too small!
Thank you Margaret for this interview and for thinking about "HEARTS OF LOVE." Glad to have you as a member and continued best of good luck with your book and good health wishes to you!

Supermarkets warned of winter vegetable shortages due to difficult growing conditions, economy…(UK)
by: J. D. Heyes
Tuesday, December 04, 2012
Difficult growing conditions have led agriculture industry experts to warn that consumers should expect shortages of winter veggies in the days leading up to Christmas, especially in the United Kingdom.
Crop production has been hampered by poor weather and devastating floods, officials say, which will undoubtedly result in fewer commodities available for grocery store shelves this holiday season.
Supermarket managers in the UK have said they could be forced to import some traditional Christmas meal staples, such as potatoes and sprouts, "while homegrown carrots will be smaller because of difficult growing conditions," The Guardian reported.
Some chain stores say they will import a lot
In addition, the amount of cauliflower is unpredictable, and store managers will most likely have to also import red cabbage beginning in April, the paper said.
The British Growers Association, an industry-owned agricultural organization, said early crop projections suggest that there will be one-fifth fewer Brussels sprouts in the coming year as well, primarily because of poor weather. Also, the group said, parsnip crops have underperformed.

The S7 Twin Turbo presented here stands out from the rest of S7 production for several reasons. Primarily, it was the first S7 to be fitted with the Competition Package upgrade, and according to Saleen, it is one of only two such cars to produce 1,000 horsepower via increased turbocharger boost and revised engine mapping. This is the highest specification possible, greater even than the 850 horsepower of their competition-spec cars.
In order to handle the prodigious amount of power, Saleen also adjusted the suspension and fitted a revised front and rear diffuser to ensure that the car could be kept under control. Furthermore, this car was retained by Saleen for use by the automotive press when it was new. It is finished in the captivating color of Beryllium Orange, a metallic citrus hue that perfectly suits the car's outrageous design. Only two cars were built to this specification, and this is the only one finished in this color combination.

There is no movement in our long-running next Conservative leader poll worth writing about – given the combination of margin of error and the survey's well-established consistency.
All that can safely be said is that Osborne's Autumn Statement, though popular with our Party member respondents, hasn't moved his ratings back to the 33 per cent high they reached in September. This mirrors his non-movement in this month's Cabinet League Table. Boris has been a little out of the limelight this month. Jeremy Hunt's rating is up by a point.
Just below 700 Party member respondents replied to the survey.

What was the inspiration behind your track?
Joe Sope.
What did your process involve?
Just recalling a night out we all had in Dublin city a few years ago. It was one of those nights that stick in your mind for numerous reasons and thought it'd be interesting to put to song.
Is there are story behind the track?
Yeah it's just about what happened to Joe throughout the night. He was our 'supplier' that night and things got a bit… eventful. I wasn't there at that stage though, so I had to take some creative liberties with the story! Joe would tell you the song is about 90% true but the overall gist of it is spot on.
It's the first in a trilogy of singles to be released from our debut EP. Each song covers a certain persons experiences of the same night, including but not limited to, myself and Gal O'Tarian, our other best mate. She's cool.
Can you describe your sound in three words?
Silky lazy rap.
What's the best thing about studying at BIMM?
The vast amount of easily accessible knowledge on how to make the music industry work for you!
Also tutorials.
Plus the feeling of being involved in such a supportive community.
If one of us makes it, we all make it.

Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, Book 1) Plot Overview:
Fate and the world of Faerie have not been kind to changeling, October 'Toby' Daye. While chasing down the people who kidnapped her liege's wife and daughter Toby was turned into a fish and has spent the last fourteen years living in a Koi pond.
Finally free of the enchantment Toby wakes to find the world has moved on – her friends, family, home and job have all been lost to her. Understandably Toby has had enough of 'Faerie'; she chooses to avoid it and is living a 'normal' life in the human world, working a dead-end job and getting by as best she can.
However as much as she tries Toby is far from normal, she is half Fae, and when an old friend is murdered horrifically, Toby is unwillingly pulled back into the world she tried to leave. Bound by a dying curse, Toby must find the killer or be destroyed herself. Toby's investigation will bring her to old acquaintances, both good and bad and new ones who have yet to be determined.
Before too long Toby's life is in peril and she will have to dig deep inside to find the strength to trust again and the will to put everything on the line to find the truth and survive it.
What I thought:
Rosemary and Rue is a well crafted, whimsical and witty murder mystery, it's also an interesting story that will keep you guessing right up to the very end. The story is well written and along with the main murder mystery there are elements of political intrigue, loves, hates and jealousies that are woven seamlessly into the plot. The author uses lots of faerie folklore and puts her own spin on it where needed, she seems knowledgeable about her subject and I have no issues with authors using traditional ideas and making them suit the needs of their story.
This novel has some solid world building going on, there are lots of places and characters that need to be described. The story is set in San Francisco but in a world where the faerie realm is hidden right alongside the human one. I think the author has done well to put the two together and make them work in harmony; you get a real sense of the city and of that fact that goblins and faeries might be lurking right around the corner.
Toby is an interesting albeit flawed character; she is strong, courageous, and capable but also full of anger, regret and self doubt. She has been hurt in the past and is emotionally shut off. She resents being forced to do something that she probably would have done anyway and knows that although she cannot find the killer alone there are not many people that she can fully trust.
As a mortal changeling Toby does not have much power nor much of a standing in Faerie Society. I liked that she knows her limitations and deals with it in a matter of fact way. It means that she has to rely on other things like her wits and her friends to help her. I enjoyed that Toby did not have much power as it made a bit of a change from your usual uber-powerful heroines.
Toby's world is populated by many other characters, mainly from European folklore but there is also some from further afield. There are some great characters that Toby renews her friendships with or meets along the way .The supporting cast is big but well written and there are some great characters and dynamics that it will be interesting to watch develop over the next few books.
There were a few small things that detract from the overall flow of the book but most of this we can put down to the fact that this is Seanan McGuire's first novel. In saying that it was pretty minimal, so don't let it put you off.
One thing that you will find is that there is a lot of world building and descriptions compared to the amount of action. This makes the pacing of the story a bit slow at the beginning; it picks up toward the middle and is non-stop action from then on. You can see why this is necessary because it's a new world and you have to establish the many rules and inhabitants. I think that as long as you can understand that it's a necessity then the rest of the book will win you over.
Another thing is that sometimes it seems like Toby is just reacting to all of the events that keep happening to her, the many attempts on her life means that she also spends a lot of her time injured, recovering from injury or trying to avoid getting injured. I would have liked to see a bit more of the investigation side of things, she is supposed to be a private investigator so this could have been much more prominent in the story.
Something I did like is that although there are some romantic hints it is very much an action driven urban fantasy book. It had just enough keep me intrigued but not overwhelmed and it made sure that the mystery was the main focus of the story.
Final Comments and Overall Rating:
I really liked this first novel from Seanan McGuire, I found it fresh, funny, action packed and intriguing. It is a debut novel so you might find that it has some flaws but I believe that the overall story more than makes up for any of these. October Daye is great new heroine for the Urban Fantasy realm and there were just enough questions left dangling to leave you wanting more.
If you are looking for something new, mad about Fairies or just sick of the same old Urban Fantasy with Vampires and Werewolves then this book is for you. This one was published in 2009 and there are four more in the series that have been published since.
Toby Daye Series: 1. Rosemary and Rue, 2. A Local Habitation, 3. An Artificial Night, 4. Late Eclipses, 5. One Salt Sea
Rating: ☆☆☆☆

I'll be there August 31-September 15. Any knowledgeable people here have wisdom to share (destinations, must-sees, gotchas, restaurants, etc.)?

I was watching a local guy sitting in a Dominix. With only few anomalies present, I just knew he won't resist of doing those sites. And why shouldn't he, everyone likes isk.
I see him swap for an Astero and warp to the active connections, presumably, checking his neighbors. Quite smart, but uninvited guest is already in the system. Finally he swaps for a Raven and warps to an anomaly. I follow him and warp to a hundred. Every time I warp to the site after my prey I get a mini heart attack, especially when I land close to a celestial. It doesn't happen often that I would get decloaked, but it has happened.
I make position bookmark and without much waiting I go for the kill.
The Raven goes down without putting much of a fight. Pilot warps back to the tower and logs out, while I move back to a c4 I came from, with the c3 static that is now end of life.
Sometimes stars are not aligned
In some hours connection disappears and a new one opens. I scan it out, jump in and get welcomed by an excited view.
Am I lucky or what. I hold my cloak and try to pinpoint the Legion, but with no luck. He is not at any of the anomalies. I break my cloak and warp to the nearest celestial. I get a d-scan position on the Legion, but now I see sisters core scanner probes. Legion is not warping out so it must be ally, which means they have all connections mapped and keeping an eye on the new signatures. It worries me a bit, because if they have spotted new connection, there's a good chance they have spotted me, since most likely they have been spamming that d-scan. My usual approach to this would be to orbit the exit and wait for them to scout my connection to get the name and the corp. That or put my Domi fleet on the wormhole so I have eyes on both sides. Unfortunately I do neither. Domi fleet is far out that I thought I might land when their scout goes in and instead being patient, I warped across the system to see if there are any more ships.
System was clear and I used opportunity to launch my combats out of d-scan range. I warp back to the planet and scan the Legion out in one go. I do not know if he saw my probes, but when I land I still see him there.
I get the pilot's name and go to the killboard. I'm not very happy what I see. Jan Aubaris belongs to BAND of MAGNUS corp which is a part of THE R0NIN alliance. They are active as fuck and is usually type of entity I keep away from. However, I created a new connection and they have not seen my name yet. I start to think that I have been spotted when I see Legion warp out, but he only warps to sun and back. A typical "my armor is failing" situation. To be honest, this all looks very suspicious. I am sure the guy just happened to be farming, but my gut says that my ship or probes have been spotted, but why is he not going away? I also do not know if the scout is still in my wormhole. If he is, he would see my Domi fleet land and warn the Legion. Or he jumped in and jumped out seeing as wormhole is empty and I would be missing on a Legion kill opportunity. I decide to go in. I warp my Domi fleet and as soon as they land I decloak and tackle the Legion. Then I see Legion tackle me back and Svipul now is on scan. Oh shit.
My Domi fleet lands and I quickly primary the Legion. When I first tackled him, his armor was two thirds damaged, so I know he will pop fast with that active tank. Now I have another Legion land on me. I spread my points and have both of them tackled.
First Legion pops and I focus on the second one. Spider tank is setup and all is good. I get heavy dps from the sleepers, but I can manage. Unfortunately, with every d-scan check I see more and more ships appearing.
Then it hits me. I am not going out alive out of this one. It's something fascinating about this realization. My mind becomes super clear. I see a big fleet on d-scan, but instead of panicking and trying to warp off what I can, I make sure my spider tank is working and get ready for the last stand. The time I have been waiting for has finally come. Soon I will be on my way to Vallhalla. Enemy fleet lands. I'm ready boys, let's do this!
I continue focusing dps on the second Legion which is about to break. I take a quick look at the overview and I do not see any logistic ships yet. Not for long though, one Guardian lands as soon as the second Legion explodes.
It's not boo bad yet, one Guardian at close range is not a big problem. I quickly lock him and try to focus. Unfortunately the clarity of my mind does not prevent me of attacking my own Dominix by accident. Sleepers also seem to focus fire on my Dominix. I overheat the reps and try to kill the Guardian, but then his partner lands and they setup the chain. Meanwhile my Dominix is at it's limit.
Soon it goes down. Sleepers were without mercy, doing 65% of total damage. My own Domi, even if I noticed quite soon shooting myself in the foot, still managed to contribute 9% total damage.
With only two Dominixes left on the field and two of their Guardians being nice and healthy, I understood it was now just a matter of time. I cycle through my clients and spot my main pilot - Zosius, by some miracle, without any tackle on him. I initiate warp back to the c4, at the same time I eject from Proteus and warp secondary Domi pilot out. I can only imagine their surprise seeing one of the Dominixes warp off. I make to my safespot, cloak up and warp around with my pods to avoid getting combat scanned. Once timer is up I log them out and reflect on the fight.
What a beautiful fight. To be honest, I could not have hoped for a better ending. I was lucky that their fleet was disorganized and managed to inflict 1.7 billion damage while losing 2.7 myself. I'm quite sure they also have lost subsystem skillpoints in addition. This is definitely one of my preferred ways to go. I could have avoided it if I took my normal precautions. After a quick chat they told me that my Proteus was indeed spotted and they also saw my combat probes, thus backup fleet was assembled. But sometimes you have to take that risk and try to poke the bear to feel alive.
After waiting several hours. with my last survivor Navy Dominix, I scanned out a c4 static and moved to low-sec through a c3 and made it back to Jita. My death was long overdue. Since I created my own corp, I managed to score 230 kills worth over 60bil and lose none. Of course I was quite good at picking my targets, but also quite lucky in some cases. If you are doing any kind of pvp, it's inevitable you will lose your ship. You can only hope it will be a good fight when the time comes.

Dependency Constraints - Deskera PM
Managing your tasks with Deskera Project Management just became a whole lot easier. With the ability to place dependency constants on certain tasks, we can ensure that primary tasks are completed before secondary and tertiary tasks are preformed. For example, before a product is packaged, it must first have gone through polishing and quality control. By setting up these dependency constrains, we can ensure that key procedures are not missed out and avoid defects and delays.
In a few easy steps, we will show you how to set dependency constraints for your tasks in Deskera PM.
Step 1: Click on one of your projects and then on the "Project plan" tab
Step 2: Locate the "Predecessors" column and write down the number of the tasks you want completed before a particular task. Add multiple tasks by separating them with a comma.
Your constraints will be displayed in the Gantt chart on the right. You will notice arrows originating from preceding tasks and ending at the secondary or tertiary task. For example, an arrow will originate from quality control and point towards packaging. You can also set these constraints via the Gantt chart by clicking on your preceding task (QC) and dragging the arrow towards your secondary task (packaging). Your task number for QC will now appear under the Predecessors column beside the packaging task.
Ensure that your projects are on the right track with the Deskera PM dependency constraints.

Penultimate week of training:
Monday, August 30: OFF
Tuesday, August 31: 2.5 mile warm-up; 4x1 mile, 500 meters between each rep, start at 7:15, aim to cut down 5 seconds per rep. 2.5 mile cool-down: Total mileage—10 miles
Wednesday, September 1: 6 miles easy
Thursday, September 2: 9 miles easy -- Unscheduled rest day (off)
Friday, September 3: OFF
Saturday, September 4: 12 miles easy
Sunday, September 5: 5 miles easy
Total Mileage: 33 miles
Talk about gut-wrenching. Did not have a ton of thoughts going into Tuesday's morning's speed workout, other than I was happy it was only 10 miles. But I felt unwell within the first 1/2 mile. I had hoped it was just my stomach waking up, but things did not let up. Alright, I thought, suck it up buttercup, get out and do this now before it gets to 90 degrees and it feels worse. But it didn't subside. Things let up later in the day, thankfully. But I did hit my times as expected.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

The DeliveryDemon had to chuckle at this article http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/content/dont-let-internet-linked-stories-land-you-libel-writ
The law has certainly been working hard to catch up with technology, and the impact of this sort of libel is very real to those who are libelled. But the legal profession is missing a trick here. Behind the scenes, there is technology which looks for keywords and tries to interpret them. By and large this software is still remarkably primitive. It has yet to get to grips with the ability to interpret the context. Basically it lacks 'intelligence'. It is designed to provide an answer at the expense of providing a sensible answer.
Google predictive text gives some good examples of what can happen http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/6161567/The-20-funniest-suggestions-from-Google-Suggest.html and various mobile phone predictive text engines can be even funnier. The automated parsers used by recruiters cannot distinguish between Coral the bookmaker and Coral the programming language. Amazon's 'you might like' suggestions suggest you buy an identical item to a recent purchase, with a different brand name.
To some extent, many of these tools are designed to depend on data which is not quality-controlled in any effective way. Certainly an Amazon vendor will enter the keywords likely to maximise search hits. that can mean the entry of keywords with little relation to the product being sold.
Google is one of the more sophisticated players since its product depends on understanding what a searcher is likely to want, but the Telegraph article shows how primitive the logic is. Asking users to log in and relating searches to their search history has the potential to improve search result quality, but people are becoming increasingly sensitive to the amount of their data held by large corporations, and legislators are starting to respond to those concerns, so relying on users logging in may not be the most fruitful development path for this type of tool.
The examples in libel article certainly have merit. Either the tool is not fit for purpose, or it is being used unintelligently. A fairly obvious solution would be for the news website to flag articles as being either positive or adverse, provided the tool refrains from coming up with links to 'similar' articles unless they were also flagged as adverse. If the tool can do this, the web publisher is at fault. If the tool can't do it, then there are two potential breaches. The tool may be inadequate for the purpose for which it is being sold. Or the web publisher may be making inappropriate use of the tool. Of course, when a payment model is based on click throughs, the incentives tend not to favour anything which limits the number of links displayed.
A fruitful approach for legislators would be to look beyond individual libels and examine the capabilities of current tools, and the processes which web publishers use to to mitigate the risks arising from tool limitations.

Highlighting the Heroes: University of California Grad Up for $25K
Our H.E.R.O. Award -Honoring Excellent Resident Observations – was launched to highlight the personal sacrifices and educational commitment during a medical resident's professional adult life. We realize, considering the fast moving changes in healthcare, how courageous medical residents are to embark upon a career in medicine with such an uncertain future. This award is our way of recognizing that courage.
We wanted to take a moment to introduce you to our nominees individually:
Victoria Ward
Lucile Packard Children's Hospital/ Palo Alto California – Palo Alto, CADr. Victoria Ward graduated from the University of California , San Francisco Medical School. Prior to and during medical school, she worked for multiple non-profits and philanthropic foundations, focused primarily on global health, with a particular interest in fighting human trafficking. Victoria has a fantastic knowledge base; she is bright with a wonderful work ethic. Her nominator called her
"one of the most caring and compassionate residents our hospital has ever had. Her follow-through is exceptional."Victoria has been especially superb on the very intense Gastroenterology and Liver Transplant service. She has taken meticulous care of her patients at all levels– PL1, PL2,and PL3, always going the "extra mile" for her patients. Dr. Ward even contacted the teachers at one 22 year old patient's junior college to make sure they knew she was in the hospital(The patient did not want the school to know why and Dr. Ward kept that info private).

Loaded with about 4,800 pounds of research, crew supplies and hardware, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will launch on a Falcon 9 rocket. The payloads include crucial materials to directly support several of the more than 250 science and research investigations to be conducted on the orbiting laboratory during Expeditions 53, 54 and 55.
About 10 minutes after launch, Dragon will reach its preliminary orbit and deploy its solar arrays. A carefully choreographed series of thruster firings are scheduled to allow the spacecraft to rendezvous with the space station. NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba will grapple Dragon using the space station's robotic arm. It then will be installed on the station's Harmony module.
The Dragon spacecraft will spend approximately one month attached to the space station. It will remain until Jan. 6 when the spacecraft will return to Earth with results of earlier experiments, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California.

SPRING, Tex. - In front of her gated apartment complex, Courtney Payne, a 9-year-old fourth grader with dark hair pulled tightly into a ponytail, exits a yellow school bus. Moments later, her movement is observed by Alan Bragg, the local police chief, standing in a windowless control room more than a mile away.
Chief Bragg is not using video surveillance. Rather, he watches an icon on a computer screen. The icon marks the spot on a map where Courtney got off the bus, and, on a larger level, it represents the latest in the convergence of technology and student security.
Hoping to prevent the loss of a child through kidnapping or more innocent circumstances, a few schools have begun monitoring student arrivals and departures using technology similar to that used to track livestock and pallets of retail shipments.
Here in a growing middle- and working-class suburb just north of Houston, the effort is undergoing its most ambitious test. The Spring Independent School District is equipping 28,000 students with ID badges containing computer chips that are read when the students get on and off school buses. The information is fed automatically by wireless phone to the police and school administrators.
In a variation on the concept, a Phoenix school district in November is starting a project using fingerprint technology to track when and where students get on and off buses. Last year, a charter school in Buffalo began automating attendance counts with computerized ID badges -- one of the earliest examples of what educators said could become a widespread trend.
At the Spring district, where no student has ever been kidnapped, the system is expected to be used for more pedestrian purposes, Chief Bragg said: to reassure frantic parents, for example, calling because their child, rather than coming home as expected, went to a friend's house, an extracurricular activity or a Girl Scout meeting.
When the district unanimously approved the $180,000 system, neither teachers nor parents objected, said the president of the board. Rather, parents appear to be applauding. "I'm sure we're being overprotective, but you hear about all this violence," said Elisa Temple-Harvey, 34, the parent of a fourth grader. "I'm not saying this will curtail it, or stop it, but at least I know she made it to campus."
The project also is in keeping with the high-tech leanings of the district, which built its own high-speed data network and is outfitting the schools with wireless Internet access. A handful of companies have adapted the technology for use in schools.
But there are critics, including some older students and privacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, who argue that the system is security paranoia.
The decades-old technology, called radio frequency identification, or RFID, is growing less expensive and developing vast new capabilities. It is based on a computer chip that has a unique number programmed into it and contains a tiny antenna that sends information to a reader.
The same technology is being used by companies like Wal-Mart to track pallets of retail items. Pet owners can have chips embedded in cats and dogs to identify them if they are lost.
At the Spring district, the first recipients of the computerized ID badges have been the 626 students of Bammel Elementary school. That includes Felipe Mathews, a 5-year-old kindergartner, and the other 30 students who rode bus No. 38 to school on a recent morning.
Felipe wore his yellow ID badge on a string around his neck. When he climbed on to the bus, he pressed the badge against a flat gray "reader"just inside the bus door. The reader ID beeped.
Shortly after, he was followed onto the bus by Christopher Nunez, a 9-year-old fourth grader. Christopher said it was important that students wore badges so they did not get lost. Asked what might cause someone to get lost, he said, "If they're in second grade they might not know which street is their home."
But on the morning Felipe and Christopher shared a seat on bus No. 38, the district experienced one of the early technology hiccups. When the bus arrived at school, the system had not worked. On the Web site that includes the log of student movements, there was no record that any of the students on the bus had arrived.
It was just one of many headaches; the system had also made double entries for some students, and got arrival times and addresses wrong for others. "It's early glitches," said Brian Weisinger, the head of transportation for the Spring district, adding that he expected to work out the problems.
But for the Enterprise Charter School in Buffalo, where administrators gave ID cards with the RFID technology to around 460 students last year, the computer problems lasted for many months.
The system is set up so that when students walk in the door each morning, they pass by one of two kiosks -- which together cost $40,000 -- designed to pick up their individual radio frequency numbers as a way of taking attendance. Initially, though, the kiosks failed to register some students, or registered ones who were not there.
Mark Walter, head of technology for the Buffalo school, said the system was working well now. But Mr. Walter cautions that the more ambitious technological efforts in Spring are "going to run in to some problems."
In the long run, however, the biggest problem may be human error. Parents, teachers and administrators said their primary worry is getting students to remember their cards, given they often forget such basics as backpacks, lunch money and gym shoes. And then there might be mischief: students could trade their cards.
Still, administrators in Buffalo said they had been contacted by districts around the country, and from numerous other countries, interested in using something similar.
And the administrators in Buffalo and here in Spring said the technology, when perfected, would eventually be a big help. Parents at the Spring district seem to feel the same way. They speak of momentary horrors of realizing their child did not arrive home when expected.
Some older students are not so enthusiastic.
"It's too Big Brother for me," said Kenneth Haines, a 15-year-old ninth grader. "Something about the school wanting to know the exact place and time makes me feel kind of like an animal."
Middle and high school students already wear ID badges, but they have not yet been equipped with the RFID technology. Even so, some bus drivers are apparently taking advantage of the technology's mythical powers by telling students that they are being tracked on the bus in order to get them to behave better.
Kenneth's opinion is echoed by organizations like the A.C.L.U. and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit group that promotes "digital rights."
It is "naïve to believe all this data will only be used to track children in the extremely unlikely event of the rare kidnapping by a stranger," said Barry Steinhardt, director of the technology and liberty program at the A.C.L.U.
Mr. Steinhardt said schools, once they had invested in the technology, could feel compelled to get a greater return on investment by putting it to other uses, like tracking where students go after school.
Advocates of the technology said they did not plan to go that far. But, they said, they do see broader possibilities, such as implanting RFID tags under the skin of children to avoid problems with lost or forgotten tags. More immediately, they said, they could see using the technology to track whether students attend individual classes.
Mr. Weisinger, the head of transportation at Spring, said that, for now, the district could not afford not to put the technology to use. Chief Bragg said the key to catching kidnappers was getting crucial information within two to four hours of a crime -- information such as the last place the child was seen.
"We've been fortunate; we haven't had a kidnapping," Mr. Weisinger said. "But if it works one time finding a student who has been kidnapped, then the system has paid for itself."

Posts Tagged 'Hillary Clinton'
The 2008 Race – Part II
Today, the Democrats.
Hillary Clinton
The so-called "800 lb. gorilla" in the race. Why? Because she's a senator? Because in the only managerial excursion she's had in her entire career — attempting to nationalize healthcare — she failed abysmally? Because she's so charismatic your knees go weak when she enters the room?
No, sorry, none of the above. For the hard left, she represents what her husband's administration could have been. For the soft left, she represents her husband's administration. For the rest, she represents a nightmare. Hillary is the anti-McCain. She's a lightweight based on absolutely no concrete achievements other than marrying a man who was elected president. She's the one who can win the primary election, but not the general.
Barack Obama
Let's get GQ guy out of the way.
His candidacy is all media fluff, rhetorical flourish, and no substance. Indeed, he's the lightest of the lightweights. Wait, I can hear the lefties now: 'ooh, the conservative is afraid of the charismatic black man.' In your dreams — lefties dissed just such a guy in Maryland last November by the name of Michael Steele. No, my issue is a senator (there goes another one) who has barely served two years in the senate, and won his seat against no opposition. (I couldn't have voted for Alan Keyes.) Obama should check back after he finishes this term and has done a stint as governor of Illinois. Oh, and let him actually fight an election against a real Republican first.
Joe Biden
Another senator and one of the fabled seven dwarfs from 1988. A non-starter.
John Edwards
He's got money, but no brains. Sure, he was a good trial lawyer, but that just means his was good at making juries angry at the other side. That didn't play on the national stage in 2004, and yet he's trotting out the same losing strategy this time.
John Kerry
Speaking of which, our haughty, French-looking junior senator is like the Bourbons — he's learned nothing and forgotten nothing. Sure, he still served in Vietnam, but he also still holds the military in contempt. He still speaks his mind, but refuses to take personal responsibility for anything. The last time a major political party renominated a general election loser was Richard Nixon in 1968. Sure he won, but only because Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. Here's hoping lighting doesn't strike twice. (Also on this latter theme see, Gore, Al and Truth, Inconvenient.)
John Vilsack
The fourth John if you're keeping track, but he's a governor — at last! And yet, to listen to him he seems unaware that George Bush will not be on the ballot in 2008. Calling George Bush a "divider" may sound good to the base, but it's a) wrong, and b) stale. He says he's an underdog and it's hard to disagree.
Evan Bayh
Another senator. Wake me when we reach a hundred.
Eliot Richardson
A governor at least, and one who has some sound policies on immigration which no doubt come from running a border state. He was also our man at the UN or a while under President Clinton, all of which means he could be a standout in an otherwise pathetic crowd.
Wesley Clark
The biggest joke on both sides. "General" Clark, who managed four stars only under Clinton, is the poster child for why we don't entrust foreign policy to generals. His views of Iraq and the GWOT are motivated purely by what's politically advantageous for Clark. How else does one explain his 180 degree turn from his approach to Kosovo?
No doubt there are others on both sides I'm overlooking. Senator Brownback is making noise, even as ex-senator Frist is not. In my view, the only way a senator will be the next president is if one is nominated on each side in 2008. I also haven't mentioned Condi Rice who I consider the best person on the scene to be president, but I have to admit, by my standards, she's also a lightweight although less than any of the senators running since she has actual management and executive branch experience. The truth is, the 2008 election will be vital to the safety, security, and future of the nation and so far, neither party has fielded or offered to field a serious candidate.
That ain't good.
Part I here.

Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, has called on Nigerians in the Diaspora to join hands with the commission in order to form a united front against corruption.
He said that this was the only way to move Nigeria forward in its quest for economic development, political stability and social justice.
In a statement by the acting Head, Media and Publicity of the commission, Tony Orilade, in Abuja on Monday, Magu spoke at the Nigerian American Business Forum in Tampa, Florida, United States.
Magu was represented by EFCC's Director of Planning, Policy and Statistics, Dr Ibrahim Gusau.
He said: "Considering that Nigeria has one of the most resilient, hardworking, intelligent and resourceful people in the Diaspora, it would be very tragic if we failed to tap into this immense potential."
Magu commended Nigerians in the Diaspora for giving back to their country, noting that "it is on record that Nigerians in the Diaspora have remitted an average 22 billion dollars annually in the last two years.
He said: "This represents one of the highest remittals in the world, by the Diaspora to their home country, and so undoubtedly, you have a vital role to play in helping in this great fight against corruption."

HTC is at it again with another video teasing its upcoming flagship. This time, the duo of actors focus on the New HTC One's camera capabilities, which is, of course, supposedly better than what the HTC One already has.
The HTC One, soon to be called the Old One or the First One, is already advertised to have some rather formidable photography features. It is said to possess a 2.0 micrometer ultrapixel custom image sensor, not your regular megapixel sensor found on even high-end smartphones. One of the effects of this kind of sensor is that it is able to capture 300 percent more light.
In short, HTC would have has remember, come announcement date, that ultrapixels mean better in the dark. By implication, it means that, at least on paper, the HTC One handles low light photography quite well, which, along with auto focus, has been one of the banes of digital photography. You can watch the full length of the video teaser below.
Being a teaser, details are naturally scarce, if not non-existent. HTC would just like us to believe that the New HTC One will be naturally better than the HTC One. We will just have to wait for the March 25th event to gauge by just how much, if it is better at all.

SHE SPEAKS – or does she?
Posted March 7, 2011on:
- In: CONTESTS | INFORMATIONAL
- 4 Comments
No, I don't…..or do I? I started hearing about a conference called "She Speaks" some time last year. I was a bit intrigued by it but I assumed it was meant for women speakers. Apparently, I was very wrong in that assumption. From what I read on Lysa TerKeurst's blog this morning, it is oh so much more! She definitely piqued my interest. It is not only for speakers, but for writers and Women's Ministry leaders. Please click here and get all the information.
When I am reading blogs posted by others and their pages all look so nice and 'professional', I don't even consider myself to be "one of them". I don't write every day but, usually, when I do write something, it is because God has put it on my heart. I know that my blogs aren't 'polished' – I just speak the only way I know how, from my heart.
However, when I read what Lysa had shared about the She Speaks conference, I felt a stirring. I have been praying and asking God to show me what I need to do, if He is indeed calling me to women's ministry. I know that I need training but have no clue how to go about getting that training when I have no funds to pay for it.
Then He put this contest in front of me by way of Lysa's blog. I know the challenge is from Him because, as I was reading it, I was saying all the reasons I could never do it. "My blog isn't 'professional-looking'. I don't know how to 'link' back to the things she was saying we needed to link to" and on and on came the excuses. That's when I realized it was the enemy trying yet again to keep me from pursuing what God has called me to.
I volunteered to work at an Extraordinary Women's conference last year for the first time ever. It was because of that experience that I began to feel God pulling me in the direction of women's ministry. I enjoyed it so much that I volunteered at two more conferences that same year and have signed up to work at three of them this year.
Obtaining this scholarship would allow me to pursue some of the training that I feel I need in order to become an effective women's ministry leader. To be honest, I have never thought of myself as a leader but I am learning that God does not call us for our ability. He calls us for our AVAILability and then HE gives us what we need, to do what He asks us to do.
If I were to win this scholarship, I'm sure that I would be just as ecstatic as my daughter was this morning when she found out that she had been accepted at Auburn University!
Now, off to see if I can figure out how to 'post a button' on my blog site 🙂

Mulki, June 17, 2015: Vijaya college students continued their strike for the second against the college administration on June 17. The students had staged protest against the college administration on June 16th and demanded the transfer of Physical Trainer and other teachers.
The students alleged that the teachers abused and pressurized the students to donate money for the new conference hall building.
The students strongly protested against the college administration that the police were called to control the situation.Angered over the visit of police, the students continued their protest for the second day on June 17.
The student leader said "The college administration is forcing us to ask for the donation from others for the construction of the hall which will be used for the wedding receptions, the rent of the hall will be given to the poor students to provide free education.
He also said" the college administration is more interested in organising the wedding events rather than providing quality education".
The protest then came to end when the teachers said that the college administration will disuss the matter with Students of June 18.

The mallet handles hang between 1/2 inch dowels spaced about an inch apart. In one case (the second mallet from the left), I realized the end of the mallet was too narrow for the dowels, so my temporary solution was to add a 1/4" dowel between the other dowels and whittle it down till the hole in the mallet end fit.

BT-Yes Bank Best CFOs Survey
Consistent Liquidity Management (Large Companies)
WINNER: Ganesh Murthy, Former CFO and EVP, MphasiS
Ganesh Murthy, 52, had been with Mphasis for five years and has now moved on to Dell Services, but not before he put the company's balancesheet on a solid footing. When Murthy joined Mphasis from HP in 2009, the company had $12 million cash. Today, it has $430 million, after many acquisitions and dividend payouts.
Where does he park the money?
Mphasis, India's sixth-largest IT services company with revenues of Rs 5,796 crore in 2013, has a simple investment policy. The focus is safety, liquidity and returns. "We invest only in liquid mutual funds, bank deposits, and short-duration fixed maturity plans, which are not subject to any interest rate volatility," says Murthy. Most of its cash - Rs 2,080 crore - is in liquid mutual funds. Only Rs 100 crore are in bank deposits. "Our return is 6.3 per cent net of taxes last year. We have done a benchmarking with other Indian IT service companies - most of them have a return of 6 per cent," Murthy says.
The company does not invest in anything that exceeds 10 per cent of the corpus of the fund. If the fund size is Rs 1,000 crore, for instance, it does not invest more than Rs 100 crore in that fund.
Murthy says the company's treasury policies have not changed much in the last five years. It monitors the receivables closely and has made good progress over the last few quarters. The debtors turnover ratio at 9 in 2012/13 indicates debtors buy and pay nine times a year. The credit goes to the CFO in faster conversion of debtors to cash.
"Our DSO (Day Sales Outstanding) has improved considerably over the last few quarters. In the March quarter, we were at 71 days. The industry average is 76-80 days," Murthy says and adds that DSO was more than 80 days for the company earlier.

* An earlier headline of the story carried Ganesh Murthy's surname as Murty. His correct surname is Murthy. Changes have been made.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Alaska' started by KHud, Jan 8, 2017.
Cool... I look for you guys. Looks like awesome weather ahead this week!
Heading out mid morning from Flat Top.
Bad news: I damaged my bike in BC and I am going to spending some time
mending it.
Gonna miss the event it looks like.
I am going to be in Anchorage around the 20th.
Was this a cident on the alcan construction stretch between Watson lake and Whitehorse?
I heard it was between Stewart's Crossing and Dawson. I did not know about the RV . The frost heaves are not all marked and can easily get you out of control. There is a construction zone with a pilot vehicle.
Not sure if this was the same accident.
This was east of Whitehorse about 80-100 kms.

That is the accident that I was talking about, it was closer to Johnson Crossing, past Jake's corner.
The one detail I will share here is that it was a high side accident in that construction gravel. This accident occurred in a mix surface Road and resulted in a tremendous amount of trauma.
Stay safe

Former Alaska DA dies in motorcycle crash in Canada, says Yukon coroner
Former state district attorney Michael Gray died in a motorcycle crash in Canada's Yukon territory while he was heading to a family gathering in Montana.
The crash happened near Kilometer 1,320 of the Alaska Highway on Sunday shortly after 11 a.m., according to Yukon chief coroner Heather Jones.
Gray, 64, departed Fairbanks early Saturday, Jones said. He was driving in a construction zone south of Jake's Corner, near the U.S.-Canada border, "when he lost control of his motorcycle in the gravel on the shoulder of the highway," Jones said.
Further details about the crash will become available after an official inquiry by the Yukon Coroners Service and the Teslin Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a process that could take months, Jones said.
Gray retired from his position as Bethel's district attorney last month, said Fairbanks District Attorney Greggory Olson.
Gray began his career in 1983 as a legal aid attorney serving low-income people in rural southern Virginia, according to the Alaska Department of Law. He earned his law degree in 1981 from The Marshall-Wythe School of Law at The College of William and Mary. He became managing partner of a Virginia law firm but left in 1994 to follow his dream of living in Alaska.
He landed in Kodiak and began working as a prosecutor there in 1995. He rose up to become district attorney there in 1998. Ten years later, he took the top job in Fairbanks, where he remained until 2015.
Olson called Gray a friend and a mentor who was well liked and respected among colleagues.
"Everyone in the office is shocked and saddened," Olson said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, daughters and family."
I've got a loose counter shaft sprocket. If anyone in dawson has a 27mm socket, please get ahold of me in the morning. 978-4675
Needs to be a socket, a wrench doesn't have clearance to turn as I found out in Chicken when I couldn't get the wrench I brought to work.
I'm in Tok, do you want me to buy you one at the napa store? Do you have a 1/2 " drive ? Let me know by 7 am. I should be in Dawson early afternoon
I'm hoping to get it handled before the poker run, so that will probably be too late. I have a 3/8" drive with me.
Details are correct but the accident was a little before 10 am. Mike was filling up his BMW beside me at the petro can south of Whitehorse just after 8:30 am. I point this out to enforce that police and ambulance take some time to arrive. Also the accident occurred in a no cell service area and I sent the third fellow on scene ahead to call emergency services. Mike had full gear of course including a modular Shoie helmet.

Ok, good luck.
If not too late, grab me 27mm or 1-1/6". Nothing in the hardware store here. If it is too late, no worries I'll get it figured.
still looking for a 27?
I will bring it with me to the JJJ and have it in the Pterodactyl van. Ask any Pterdactyl for it...
Found another x owner, problem solved!
Thanks all!
Work today in Whitehorse is falling into place fabulously for a 10am depart to D2D, I hear reports of snow! It'll melt but what is Dawson like this morning?

I just rode that section earlier today. There is a shrine (flowers and a cross) at the accident site. Very sad. The actual road is compacted and hard and easy to ride on, the shoulder is very very loose dirt and gravel.
My condoleances to the riders family.
Be careful out there folks.
I'm really looking forward to your ride report.

The other day, we learned that one of our co-workers had just lost his wife to cancer. She had been diagnosed with it and was given the all clear…and then it came back with a vengeance.
In her obituary, it said to send donations to the local Dana-Farber unit. I organized a group effort of our colleagues and just finished buying a bunch of books for children who are either going through treatments or the relative of one. When my father was going through chemo, my nephews and niece were given a backpack full of toys, books, and other things to help them figure out what was going on and to distract them. Totally awesome.
Thinking about donating to a group this winter? Check out their list here

Welcome to Camera Bits Forums
What are the chances of seeing a Photo Mechanic App for the new iPad device?I'd gladly pay the same license fee currently charged for a PC seat.
I hope you'll give it some serious consideration. I think the greatest strength of Photo Mechanic is the ease of use in the field on a laptop. But like many location photographers I'm constantly evaluating and omitting the unnecessary pieces of kit that make my bag heavier.Getting rid of a laptop and using a device like the iPad cold potentially streamline my workflow and save some wear and tear on my body.The iPad device is still months away and probably still a beta device for all intents and purposes. At some point though, it could be a laptop replacement that does everything current laptops do but in a much more efficient way.Even a stripped down Photo Mechanic app that offers captioning, sorting and keywording would seem like not just a killer app for pros but also for regular folks who shoot with their iPhone.
I want to use the iPad as a customer interface or customer kiosk at sporting events. I would like my customers to tag their favorite images and move them to a folder. Then come to the sales booth for finalizing their order. It sounds simple right?I wish Photo Mechanic could write a very simple app like this.It would completely change my sales model.
Now the iPad is out, I think the iPad will make a great platform for Photo Mechanic, especially for sending pix in the field, so I would like to second this wish! The iPad version does not need to be a full blown version of PM, a simple ingest, iptc editing and ftp/email syndication, it would seem possible to do; as on the iPhone there is FTP apps, meta edit app (basic) readily available.The real benefit of having an iPad Photo Mechanic app is its instant start up and the ability to really quick edit, add the AirStash card reader and you have a really interesting wireless solution to a deadline workflow.
But doesn't it seem like having 16 or 32 GB of capacity on the iPad would be severely limiting when today's flash cards are pushing 32 GB? You'd have to send the data and delete it as the new photos are coming in since you'd run out of space (assuming you don't already have several GB of iTunes on the device or iBooks.) You can download the images faster than you can upload them, and pausing to caption them would only slow things down.The iPad is just an iPod Touch with a bigger screen and a few bells and whistles thrown in.-Kirk

But Eljay,
Nak and Jay
But Eljay,
Nak and Jay
For curiosity's sake, do you guys still upload podcasts to Biomediaproject?
Also, do you guys know if music from mnog and the like are copyrighted?
oh... just clicked on it. They only have the one episode. My mistake!
To clarify, they only have the episode where you guys talked about them, I just assumed and was wrong.
I think I can already guess the answer and reason, but are the July T-Shirts coming any time soon?
Slime, the shirt of July is the prize for the message boards anniversary contest thing, probably can't buy it till after that
So... MakutaFest is on Saturday...
So is the MTG Eldritch Moon pre-release (which I am pre registered for)...
How long is the stream going to last? I'm really hoping I'll be home in time to at least watch some of the stream.
At this time, we don't know how long it will be. Chances are it will last more than 2 hours.
I thought it was gonna be a year or something..
that is what the BS01 guys said..
is the stream going to start soon?
4:30 central time.
Will we ever get more TTV merch? Cups, mugs, hoodies, Hats, ETC.
If you were we wouldn't tell you until we we're ready to launch it
That's probably a good idea.
You guys mentioned in a previous podcast that you aren't considering bringing anymore cast members. Have you ever considered looking for editors, artists, or even animators who would be filling those roles exclusively? I don't claim to know the inner-workings of TTV, but bringing in some extra people could allow you to have people work on more projects without overloading your cast list. You guys probably have enough people on the payroll as it is, but in the future, even for Pandemic Panda as a whole, is that something you've thought about?
It's something we've already done. @AvohkahTamer is solely an audio editor, we had a video editor at one point, and @prpldragon was brought on as an artist before joining the cast. If we could afford it, I imagine we'd bring on all kinds of specialists to lighten the load. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of capital yet.
Would any of the cast members be willing to go to any of the other 3 Brickfairs, like the one in Birmingham, AL? I am unable to go to the one in Virginia, so this is the closest one to me. We have sweet tea! ^_^
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but what's the word on the Bionicle art book? Is it solely for the Makuta contest winners or is it getting an actual wide release?
Can confirm, the South does have sweet tea. It's good n stuff. To answer your question, yeah, I'd totally be down for visiting BrickFair, AL as I currently live the closest, but probably not this year. Also, I'm planning on moving, so we'll see what happens, lol.
As far as we are currently aware, it's only for the contest. I would certainly hope that it gets a widespread release, though. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
Homemade or Milo's?

What is the minimum version required by emacs23? Someone said they got things working under emacs23 simply by commenting the .emacs line: (require 'tex-site), for I assume that the call to tex.el somehow loads AUCTeX. In any case, with that line commented, I could load a .tex file in emacs LaTeX mode, and with it loaded a C-c C-c command in emacs brings up in the minibuffer: Command [pdflatex]: When I issue this default command, it prompts for saving, and a second time it generates .aux and .log files, but no .dvi file. The log file didn't have anything that was meaningful for me. -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM

Super Nachos
January 23, 2017
With only a few games left before The Super Bowl, it is time to pull out all the stops and get out your best ever recipes for nachos & dips. Here is one that everyone will love!
"Super Nachos"
The Chips
- Go for a variety of corn chips & blue corn chips
- The Salsa (Pico de Gallo)
- 4 vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and then chopped to suit your style
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped, you can choose medium to hot heat level
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup, or 2 handfuls, cilantro leaves, finely chopped — substitute parsley if cilantro is not to your liking, then salt
The Beans & Topping
- 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound of ground sirloin
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon of dark chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon of ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper, giving you medium to hot heat level
- 1 ½ cans of black beans, 15 ounces minimum, drained
The Cheese Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of whole milk
- ¾ pound of pepper jack cheese, shredded
On The Side
- Sour Cream – Use a small ice cream scoop to gently place on top of the finished product and have a side of it ready for your guests
- Chopped Scallions
- Chopped Black Olives – sprinkle a few on your masterpiece and have a side ready as well for your guests
- Diced Pimento – on the side only, as not everyone likes it
- Sliced Avocado, dressed with lemon juice – go nuts!
- Hot pepper sauce – a medium, hot & super-hot side
Get Busy with It!
- Arrange a mixture of two varieties of corn chips on a very large platter.
- Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl and set to the side to let the flavors marry together.
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, garlic, onion and peppers to the pan & sauté for 2 minutes, then add meat and crumble with a wooden spoon. Season meat with salt, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper sauce. Cook meat 5 minutes, then stir in beans and reduce heat to low.
- In a medium saucepot, melt butter and add flour to it. Cook flour & butter 1 to 2 minutes over moderate heat, then whisk in milk. When milk comes to a bubble, stir in cheese with a wooden spoon. Remove cheese sauce from the heat.
- Pour cheese sauce evenly over the massive spread of chips and top evenly with beef and beans. Finally, pour on the Pico de Gallo, add two scoops of sour cream with an ice cream scoop, and garnish with favorite sides.

I never thought I'd ever want to go back to school again, but the captains-in-training at the Warsash Maritime Academy in England have to start out on these amazing supertanker replicas before they ever get the chance to pilot the real thing. And with a price tag of over $240,000, you're actually better off strapping a lawn chair to the RC Titanic replica I wrote about on the weekend, then trying to buy one of these for your own amusement. But replicas or not, apparently piloting these miniature supertankers can provide plenty of useful experience for the real thing, without the fear of causing the next Exxon Valdez disaster because you spent the night before your big exam partying.

Contact Joan Teasdale to discover how Hypnosis can help!
My name is Joan Teasdale and I am a Consulting Hypnotist working in New York City. I also have a Clinical Certification in Hypnotherapy and a Master Certification in Therapeutic Guided Imagery from California and I am a Certified Aromatherapist. I help diverse clients with a wide range of challenges and goals, with a particular focus on people transitioning to a new stage in their lives or seeking to overcome their fears and anxieties, self-doubt, or depression, and emerge from therapy ready to tap their limitless potential.
my story
I'm intimately familiar with overcoming these challenges and transitioning to new life stages—in fact, hypnotherapy is my second career. I spent thirty years traveling the world as a professional photographer, capturing and interpreting images to communicate emotions, situations, and of course beauty to the viewer. In my mid-fifties I went through some incredibly painful changes, and felt like my entire life was falling apart. But I found myself again, felt peace and excitement and happiness once more, with hypnosis and guided imagery. When I saw how powerful hypnosis is, I knew I had to shift my focus and share the incredible impact of hypnotherapy and hypnosis.
And in fact, hypnosis has a lot in common with photography
Both rely heavily on imagery and all the power and beauty of our subconscious minds. After receiving my diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in LA, I returned to NYC with a light heart, wide open to this new part of my life. I've since guided hundreds of hypnosis clients through just about every issue imaginable, including:
- life transitions
- fears and phobias
- grief and loss
- stress and anxiety
- intimacy and relationship struggles and strategies
- depression
- body-image
Born in Vancouver, raised in New York, educated the first and second time around in the West, and having spent so many decades traveling globally, I am able and eager to work with people from all walks of life and corners of the globe. I'd love to help you release yourself from your past and join me on this amazing journey toward self-discovery, success, and happiness.
