Brand development is more than a logo.
Developing your brand is up to you and it’s more than just your logo. Your name, or your company name, and the ‘look’ you create for your logo is a great place to start. But you also want to be consistent with all your branding elements, such as your website, press releases, email campaigns and any marketing pieces you do. You also want your art style, your product designs, and even how you do business to be in-line with how you want consumers and manufacturers to perceive your developing brand. Every tiny element of your business contributes to building your brand image over time.
Pay attention to the details and how they all fit together. Make sure that brand elements are visually cohesive on products, throughout your website and all your marketing endeavors. And aim to place these elements everywhere they possibly can be, as you build your business.
As your business grows, you can start negotiating brand exposure and that’s where things get exciting. At first you may just get your copyright on your products, then your brand name with a small logo in addition to your copyright. Later, you may request a picture and bio included in the manufacturer’s catalog or on their web site. From there, you may ask your agent or manufacturer to dedicate a special area at a trade show booth for your brand, or an autograph signing at an industry event to create publicity and increase sales. As your reputation and demand builds, so does your ability to leverage your success to create more branding exposure. Next thing you know, your logo may move from being a tiny spec on the bottom of the product to a more prominent position on the front of the product or label. Branding involves creating the visual esthetic as well as creating a personal experience, feelings about a person or entity, and it’s never immediate—it’s a long-term process.

911, Can Anyone Help Me? by Jackie Cooper

A Sunday afternoon, a Park Quest Passport in hand, and Team Dabrowka is on the move. A trek to Owings Mills, MD gets us to Maryland's Soldier's Delight State Park. With numerous reason's out there WHY it's named this, the jury's not quite certain. But it certainly was delightful!
We've learned here on our 6th Park Quest that if we have a shortened version/option, it's best we go that route--4 year olds can be rather vocal on the longer quests. So can 8 year olds. Especially when mid-day heat and humidity are at play. But this Quest had a bundle of fun, both outdoors and indoors: a letterboxing element with some detective work needed to unlock the treasure box, a scavenger hunt, and even a visit with a screech owl at the Scales and Tales program the nature center offers. We learned on the "Owl-ometer" that barred owls are the most mellow (and saw 2 darling ones) and that Great Horned Owls are "the most tenatious"...and that screech owls (which look a little baby-Great-Horned-Owl-esque) are somewhere in the middle.
For my local friends and followers, click on the title above or go to to take advantage of some Maryland letterboxing at Soldier's Delight. Friends afar, go to or to see if you can locate some letterboxing locales near you.

In the latest episode of “As The Mariners’ Roster Churns,” two more relievers were called up from Class AAA Tacoma, a rookie starting pitcher was optioned back to Tacoma after back-to-back rough outings and an effective veteran left-hander was designated for assignment because his value isn’t truly needed in the bullpen.
And there will be more moves in the coming days with lefty Wade LeBlanc having to be activated from the disabled list on Saturday and third baseman Kyle Seager eligible to return from the disabled list on May 25.
“There will be some turnover on our roster,” manager Scott Servais. “We knew that when the season started. Here we sit in the middle of May and you are starting to see the turnover.”
The official moves:
- Matt Festa, RHP, recalled from AAA Tacoma.
- Ryan Garton, RHP, selected from AAA Tacoma.
- Erik Swanson, RHP, optioned to AAA Tacoma.
- Zac Rosscup, LHP, designated for assignment.
Festa (No. 67) and Garton (No. 58) flew in from Reno where the Rainiers were playing and participated in the pregame work. The Mariners have become quite adept at sending relievers back and forth from their Triple A affiliate over the past few seasons, taking advantage of pitchers with minor league options.
Of the moves, the decision to DFA Rosscup was the most interesting. The 30-year-old lefty was 2-0 with a 3.21 ERA in 19 relief appearances. He struck out 20 and walked 14 in 14 innings pitched. Seattle has seven days to trade, outright or release Rosscup.
“The thought behind that with our bullpen set up the way it is, we don’t really have a spot for him,” Servais said. “Zac really is a left-on-left guy. That’s what he is good at. He’s got the left-handed breaking ball. We aren’t really built that way. We need guy that can go out and pitch for one-plus or two inning outings or even a two-plus inning outing. This isn’t doing him any favors. He’s not built that way. It’s not what he does.”
The decision to option Swanson back to Tacoma was based on his struggles in the past two outings. The rookie right-hander gave up eight runs on four homers on Thursday night in a loss to the Twins. It was the second straight outing where he had struggled.
In seven games (six starts), he was 1-5 with an 8.04 ERA with 24 strikeouts and five walks in 31 1/3 innings pitched. He’ll go back to Tacoma to work on building more consistent command of his fastball and continue to improve on his slider and offspeed pitches.
“We like a lot of things he brings to the table,” Servais said. “It’s just the consistency and the location of his pitches. This gives him an opportunity to kind of regroup. He got hit around a little bit. We saw it last night. He got cornered into some fastball counts and everyone knows it’s his pitch and they got on it.”
Swanson was scheduled to start on Tuesday in Texas. The Mariners haven’t decided on a replacement yet. The internal candidates would be lefties Justus Sheffield and Tommy Milone or right-hander Christian Bergman. They could also have a bullpen start and then reset the rotation with an off day on Thursday.
“It’s still up for discussion,” Servais said. “We’ll look internally.”
Festa, 26, was on the opening day roster and made six appearances, posting a 6.43 ERA before being optioned to Tacoma on April 11. In eight outings with the Rainiers this season, he is 0-1 with a save and a 6.30 ERA. In his last five games with Tacoma, he posted a 1.42 ERA with nine strikeouts, two walks and a .095 (2×21) opponents average against in 6 1/3 innings pitched.
Garton, 29, was 3-0 with a 3.46 ERA with 28 strikeouts and 9 walks in 12 games and 26 innings pitched for the Rainiers. Garton was acquired by the Mariners along with catcher Mike Marjama in exchange for left-hander Anthony Misiewicz, infielder Luis Rengifo and a player to be named later on Aug. 6, 2017. He was re-signed by the Mariners on Oct. 21, 2018 to a minor league contract.

Explaining SLOs to someone not familiar with them can be intimidating. Where do you start? How do they work? We’re going to break down the where, how and what of SLOs into a few easy steps and help you get anyone to start adopting SLOs.
Step one: How to use customer feedback
An SLO (or Service Level Objective) is used to help your product measure and achieve future goals, setting a baseline for where you realistically want it to be. Plus, SLOs are a great way to keep your product customer-focused. They will help you find gaps & set goals that will be the largest impact to your customers. Once you find those gaps, you can start using that data to figure out how to prioritize customer feedback.
Here’s the funny thing about customer feedback: it can, of course, be used to set your SLOs but you can also use your SLOs to manage that feedback. For example, if people are complaining about login errors or outages more than anything else, you should have an SLO that monitors login error counts. If people are complaining about slowness, you should have a latency SLO. This will help you keep track of the issues that are impacting your customers the most. And once you’ve hit an equilibrium where you have a good monitoring stack and well defined SLOs, you can start to use them as a tool to encourage conversations about the direction of your product.
These customer-focused indicators will help you prioritize feature requests based on how well you’re meeting your SLOs. New features can often add new complexity and potential for some minor downtime. If you’re not meeting your SLOs, your customers have likely experienced recent flakiness and shipping a new complex feature may only make that worse. This is a perfect opportunity to start a conversation about reliability vs. feature requests.
Step two: Have a conversation (or six)
Let’s say we have a trial sign up we’re monitoring and it’s proceeding at a steady pace, but then we release a new feature that causes downtime and our site is unavailable for one hour. Once we recover, the trial sign up rate dips extremely low and continues to trend that way for the day.
We could start the conversation about why this happened:
- Did it continue to trend downward because the feature (once fixed) was not in high demand. Did the downtime damage our reputation?
- When we have had downtime in the past, how long did it last? What is the maximum amount of downtime we’ve experienced without major impacts to our signup rate?
- Did we train our customers to expect us to be unavailable for longer periods of time?
- Can we correlate a specific amount of profit lost to shipping a new unstable feature that caused downtime?
- Or possibly it’s saying we need a better CI/CD pipeline that includes feature flagging, A/B testing, or a better rollback system.
The ability to pinpoint profit loss is an easy way to show leadership that we need better support.
The ability to pinpoint profit loss is an easy way to show leadership that we need better support. Perhaps more QA testing pre-feature shipping or maybe we need to pivot to fixing a backend service before we start offering new features.
You see, there are so many conversations this data can prompt — all leading to a much more efficient and customer-friendly outcome.
Step three: Look at the flip side
It might also be easier to understand this one from the opposite side of the spectrum. So we release a new (stable) feature and we see trial sign ups spike. That might tell us that this particular feature was well received or something a lot of customers really wanted.
- Where did we find the feedback that led to this feature release?
- How can we prioritize more of those feature requests?
- Which features gain the most profit?
- What do customers really care about?
Step four: Make it realistic!
Anytime we set goals it’s easy to want to overachieve them, but there is a diminishing return when overachieving SLOs. Most people have some amount of personal experience that has taught them computers aren’t always reliable (to say the least!). And over time, we’ve trained ourselves to know this about anything related to computers. So having a limited amount of downtime within a timeframe isn’t fully unexpected behavior, but using SLOs will help us manage how much of an impact we are impressing on our customers from that downtime.
If your systems are simple and you really aren’t experiencing any downtime, then use that time to find ways your system can break before they actually break. Getting ahead of issues will make troubleshooting unexpected issues much smoother — this is called Chaos Engineering — and works best when you have SLOs in place.
We also want to keep our goals realistic to help us set better SLOs rather than SLAs (Service Level Agreements.) SLAs are usually set at a low bar allowing for anything and everything. They’re not in the best interest of the customer. If we shoot for perfection, that isn’t possible either. SLOs, however, allow us to lower our reliability goals to something more realistic and we’re better able to concern ourselves less with troubleshooting downtime and managing unrealistic expectations and more with managing our roadmap and delivering feature requests. And that will bring us back to step one: using customer feedback. Guess we made a feedback loop!
Step five: Get started!
It’s never too early or too late to start using SLOs. I find there to be less friction the sooner you start, but just remember that no matter where you are in your product’s lifecycle, using SLOs to focus on your customer will also help you! Whenever you decide to implement SLOs will help shape how you use them, your downtime procedures, and how you start the types of conversations that will improve your product and make your customers happy.

Starting a car club is not always the easiest thing to do. It's a good idea to search the Internet and see if any searches turn up car clubs that already exist with the name that you're interested in. The only official national "club registry" is through Lowrider Magazine. That might be the first place to check and see if a name has been taken. Once you choose a unique name, you'll want to register it as soon as possible.
To do this, simply fill out the form found on this website at
It can be expensive to get T-shirts made and plaques designed and produced. It might be worth your time (and money) to look into other existing car clubs. You might just find one that fits what you're looking for in a club. Maybe you can start a chapter in your area of a particular club that's from another area, saving you from start-up fees. This may also give you the control that you're looking for in starting a new club, instead of being at the head of your own chapter.
If you still go through with starting your own club, find local t-shirt printing places near you who can maybe sell you shirts at wholesale prices and maybe even work out a good deal on printing your club logo. For chrome plaques, you might want to look at companies like Jagster (of Los Angeles, CA), LazerWerks.com, and PlaqueWerks.com. |

The Supreme Court has in a unanimous decision dismissed an application by the 2020 NDC presidential candidate seeking leave to reopen his case.
John Mahama, who is the petitioner, had urged the court to grant his request saying he intends to subpoena EC Chairperson, insists that there are also allegations that came up during the cross-examination of their witnesses and these are matters only the EC Chairperson can speak to.
Giving further arguments before the ruling today, Lawyer Tsikata said he has listed new authorities that will back claims that the Chairperson is an individual and therefore can be subpoenaed.
But this request had been opposed by lawyers for the EC and President Akufo-Addo; the 1st and 2nd Respondents in the election petition hearing.
Both sides insist that the petitioner is simply seeking to use the back door to boost a petition he has failed woefully to prove.
The two counsels emphasized that the success of the petitioner’s case is dependent on his evidence and therefore the decision to close his case was not based on the fact that Madam Jean Mensa had filed a witness statement and was to testify.
He also stated that the arguments raised by the counsel for the petitioner are almost the same as those raised in the objection to the 1st Respondent’s decision not to call a witness; thus Section 26 of the Evidence Act is not applicable in this case.
The Chief Justice concluded by explaining that the EC Chairperson is not on trial hence she cannot be asked to vindicate herself.
The hearing has been adjourned to Wednesday, February |

Has he managed to shed the perception that his style of politics is essentially ‘shoot and scoot’ and that he has neither the temperament nor the patience for lengthy exposures? Or has he succeeded in projecting the Congress as a serious contender in the UP sweepstakes?
Perhaps even more critically with elections around the corner, has he entered the mind space of the average UP voter? And will the Congress get the first move advantage? Election strategist Prashant Kishor believes in early bird advantage in politics.
The yatra, in fact, was not just to win the hearts and minds of the people of Uttar Pradesh but to change the political fortunes of the Congress altogether. And to establish Rahul as the rightful heir of Sonia Gandhi who had held a series of similar road shows and brought the Congress to power, dislodging the A B Vajpayee government in 2004.
It may be too early to arrive at a conclusion or indulge in a prediction given the fickle nature of Indian voters and the fact the election dates are still months away and the other parties are yet to roll out their campaign. People’s preferences crystallize closer to elections and new issues emerge.
Firstly, a piece of bad luck for Rahul: the second half of the yatra, at least in the media space, was overshadowed by the terror attack in Uri and its aftermath.
So, the analysis in his party vary. The old guard in the grand old party remain uncertain and diffident, his campaign managers confident and optimistic seeing the impressive turnouts at his meetings and the younger lot in the Congress see a glimmer of hope. Everyone is cautious and, of course, but optimistic that the Nehru-Gandhi scion will be able to turn the tide. However, cutting across age, seniority, caste and camps, all leaders feel that “party main current aa gaya.”
So, the party is charged up. It is to be seen whether the average voter will feel the same towards the Congress, ousted from power in the state 27 years ago. At the same time, it is a fact that his road shows drew large crowds. Those close to him never tire of arguing that the kisan mangpatras – demand letters for loan waiver – that the party is asking farmers to fill up elicited a massive response. Party leaders said around 75 lakh forms have already been collected.
Rahul tried to strike the right chords – visiting houses of farmers, sipping tea and having snacks with ‘commoners’ at road side shops and visiting temples, mosques and dargahs. He visited 14 temples, three mosques, six dargahs, three gurdwaras and one church, indulging in religion-laced politics to woo voters.
Personally, Rahul Gandhi has shown a stomach to fight and brought a semblance of unity in the faction-ridden and caste-riven UP unit of the party. And he exhibited a crucial leadership skill of leading from the front.
Congressmen have always given him credit for the victories and shielded him from defeats. Although the party has announced Sheila Dikshit as the chief ministerial face, Rahul, for once, has chosen to lead from the front, knowing well that it is a gamble.. |

Did you know that Harlequin manga is a thing? I didn't either, until fairly recently. The premise seems to be, take vintage "Harlequin Presents" novels that everyone has forgotten about and then regurgitate them in traditional manga form. Laughable? Yes. Fun as all get-out? OH YES. I've been collecting them whenever they go on sale because they are the Crazy Romance Lady™ version of Pokemon Cards:
I MUST READ THEM ALL.
RISKY BUSINESS is pretty mediocre in terms of storyline, with the usual amount of suspend-your-disbelief ridiculousness (sorry, Tom Cruise does not make an appearance). Rachel and Jack had a steamy one night stand and then she vanished from his life. When he spots her one day, he impulsively chases her down - to her office(!) - and finds a picture of them together on her desk. As it turns out, she recently got hired as an architect in a "family friendly" firm and told them all that she was married - to Jack - to get the job.
Her coworkers think that Jack bursting into the office is a sign of a joyful reunion between husband and wife and not what it actually is: a psychotic clash between two compulsive liars. They get invited to go on a retreat together in the mountains, where Jack proceeds to taunt and humiliate her (not in a mean alphahole way, but still pretty rude). Rachel rebuffs him at every turn and is adamant that that one night shall not be repeated... despite her obvious attraction to him. As they continue to play out the charade, they learn a lot about each other, and about some of the truths behind the lies.
I thought this book was okay. If it was a story, I'd probably give it a 2, but I liked the art. This is not as nice or as detailed as some of the other Harlequin manga I have read - the best so far is probably Naomi Watanabe's WHISPER - and that often unadorned style, especially around the eyes - almost felt like something you would see on a higher-end shounen manga. You really have to suspend your disbelief a lot, but I liked the banter between the characters, and Jack - despite his slight stalkerishness in the beginning - is a pretty decent hero. There are even some steamy scenes in here for those of you who are into that sort of thing, wink wink, nudge nudge.

By: IOS, Category: Nursing Schools
Nursing currently ranks among the top 10 growing occupations and according to the US Bureau of Health Professions, the nation will need over 1.7 million nurses by the year 2020.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor also predicts at least 36 percent growth of needs in the next decade. This explains why nursing schools are getting so much popularity lately and why more people are participating in online nursing courses.
Why Study Nursing Online?
With a large nurse shortage growing day by day, the wage in nursing related industries is also increasing. Studying nursing online allows you to squeeze extra study into your heavy schedule and improve your career and increase your salary with flexible hours. In a word, online nursing degree programs give today’s nurses the ability to advance from LPN all the way through Doctor of Nursing Practice entirely online without affecting their normal life.
There are many other reasons why you should choose studying nursing online:
• Convenient. 1200 programs reviewed and sorted for you.
• High Quality. Nationally accredited programs.
• Accelerated. You can bridge programs online to obtain a higher degree without doubling the time.
• Fast answers. Direct contacts within the top schools.
What Programs Are Available Online?
Today’s working nurses and nurses-to-be have the priority to improve their credentials and career options through a great variety of accredited online nursing programs, which include online LPN to RN programs, Paramedic to RN programs, RN to BSN degree completion, RN to MSN, Master’s in Nursing, Nurse Practitioner programs and Nursing Doctorate degree programs as well.
Online LPN to RN Degree Program: students joining a NLNAC accredited online university can finish the courses and advance from LPN to RN in a short period of time without attending classroom. After that, they can increase their career mobility, job security and opportunity as well as personal growth and satisfaction.
Online LPN to BSN Degree Program: through online courses, you can get Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in as short a time as 12 months. BSN is widely considered a standard requirement for RN and bears broader professional responsibilities and career opportunities, and more salary as well.
Online RN to MSN Bridge Programs: this is perfect for nurses who hold an associate degree in nursing and want to accelerate their nursing education. The higher your education, the bigger difference you can make for your patients, your organization and the future of health care. An MSN degree is the exact certification to prove your ability.

Well, the damage was not done in the bust, the damage was done in the boom. What happened today is simply Hanjin starting the process of deciding who will pay for the damage done during the boom times.:
Next, this tidbit...
And this:
This is the inevitable result of ex nihilo credit.
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends..All false economy businesses operating today are busted, what is new is Hanjin has actually started the process of deciding who pays. We learn a decision as to who pays is decided, so far, pensioners and insurance companies, corporate and small time investors.
Shares in Hanjin Shipping have been suspended after plunging 24% on Tuesday.If it plunges to zero, then bondholders take a hit. What is interesting is Korean Central bank has decided not to buy up the stock to keep it going. This is great for the economy!:
Making matters worse, Reuters adds that KDB's move to pull the plug was already having an impact on Hanjin's operations, with the company's various shipping assets already frozen..As if the cargo on the ships is being seized! The cargo is not owned by the steamship line, it is owned by either a bank or the importer. Neither is subject to seizure. The ship may be impounded for docking fees, etc, but that will be an empty ship.
Next, this tidbit....1500 TEUs at $596 each = $894,000. 14 days times $13000 = $182,000. Twice that is $364,000. that leaves about a half million a voyage gross profit, even at the higher rates. No wonder Aristotle Onassis was a billionaire from shipping, so rich he could marry Jackie Kennedy. No wonder the governments ran all the private shippers out of business and took over with government run shipping lines. And as usual, they ran them into the ground.
And.No. None of that will happen. At worst some independent like Maersk will take over the ships and make a profit. With overcapacity, ships are mothballed and others take up the slack, if and when the subsidies end. For Hanjin, it appears they have ended.
This is the inevitable result of ex nihilo credit.
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

Where there is chaos there is opportunity. I would wait until Hanjin stock bottoms and then buy some of their shares. Who knows how this will end up 5 years from now. Perhaps the new owners will offer Hanjin share holders preferred stock. Although I don't much like the stock market since it is a rigged system, maybe the long-term benefits would come in the form of reduced shipping rates for equity holders.
The only steamship line incident that I remember from the 80's is the Exxon Valdez debacle and even at that 99% of Americans have forgotten about it. Life goes on indeed. |
The Guardian has a readable and disturbing piece about what happens if you try to fake your way into a mental instutution:
In 1972, David Rosenhan, a newly minted psychologist with a joint degree in law, called eight friends and said something like, “Are you busy next month? Would you have time to fake your way into a mental hospital and see what happens?”
Lauren Slater reports on the extreme hostility this researcher faced when he published and since, on the fact that his fellow inmates could tell he was sane even when the doctors couldn’t, on how he wrote down his experiences and had this labelled as “writing behavior” (which I suppose it was). But what would happen if you tried to do the same thing today? Slater tried ….

Fascinating article, great link. The article isn’t as disturbing as all that, though, as Slater’s verdict on modern psychiatry is much kinder than on the 1972 version targeted by the original experiment. Reading the article actually imparted some hope that there has been some progress and that the psychiatric profession has been striving for progress rather than just running in place, even though they face new temptations in the form of medication.
Ophelia Benson 01.31.04 at 5:43 pm
Dang, that is a fascinating article. The whole thing raises so many teasing questions. Labeling shapes what we find, sure – but what follows from that? Depends. Some labels are worthless, some are fake, some are useful but not always relevant – and so on. Such is life.
tcb 01.31.04 at 6:05 pm
There is a fine Dickensian finish to the second article; the daughter sickening, the old man recovering. Just the thing to make people run out and buy the book to read the sequel. As a patient, I have to add my anecdotal two cents that whatever has happened in psychiatry in the past 30 years, the net effect is for the better. I don’t necessarily say that fewer people are being misdiagnosed, but that those who are correctly diagnosed feel subjectively better and integrate into society more quickly with today’s treatments than with those of the 1970s. This may be an oversimplification, but I give most of the credit to the advances in psychopharmacology. Because, at least to a rationalist, mental states are rooted in biology. And despite the fact that doctors may rely upon meds as panacea as much as the patients do, at least the meds can be stopped or altered if they are inappropriate. And it’s quite likely that one of these days we really will know it all. Better living through chemistry, I always say.
Rather Not Say 01.31.04 at 7:48 pm
As asg above, I found the article did offer some hope that better pharm science may have mitigated some of the worst effects of errant and arrogant pseudo-scientific psychiatry. But the pseudo-science and the monkey tribe behavior of pseudoscientiests is still a fearsome weapon in the hands of artful and designing persons. In classical slashdot format, here is how it works. 1. Desire relative’s property. 2. Make up and report relative’s “odd and possibly self-harmful behavior” to state authorities. 3. State will institutionalize relative, at gunpoint. 4. Profit!! (unless a small army of civil libertarians and lawyers happens to help the victimized relative.) If you don’t believe this is remarkably easy for vicious schemers to bring off, just google for “Roby Ridge” (that’s ROBY, not RUBY).
Tom T. 01.31.04 at 8:25 pm
Psychiatry is getting a bit of a bum rap from these experiments. I have to imagine that if I went to eight emergency rooms with a fictitious complaint of back pain, I would consistently walk out with a prescription for a muscle relaxant. Mmmmmm…muscle relaxant. Slater does seem to have an axe to grind. Her statement that the drive to prescribe “does seem to be more a product of fashion, or fad” strikes me as unfair; one could just as easily say that it arises from a genuine desire to help sick people. It seems to reasonable to me to believe that the doctors are prescribing antipsychotics because, in cases where someone really is hearing voices, those antipsychotics have frequently proven to be helpful. Sure, there’s a risk of a false positive based on deceptive behavior by the patient, but it’s hard to see how that risk could be minimized without then producing a lot of false negatives (i.e., truly sick people turned away). Slater seems to have little empathy for those who are genuinely sick. Certainly, the term “thud” sounds cartoonish and risible to us, but a statement that “aliens are controlling my brainwaves” would sound just as laughable if we weren’t used to hearing that sort of thing from schizophrenic people. Slater particularly angered me when she belittled the patient who was troubled by a voice continually repeating “It’s OK.” Her remark that “a voice saying, ‘It’s OK’ sounds pretty OK to me,” is feckless and really just mean. There is also a lurking institutional conflict. To put the matter in commercial terms, Rosenhan and Slater, as psychologists, are competing for much the same patient business as psychiatrists. A finding that criticizes psychiatry for making errant diagnoses or over-prescribing drugs fully serves the competing interests of psychologists, who cannot make medical diagnoses or prescribe drugs.
Tom T. 01.31.04 at 8:33 pm
So others don’t have to: As suggested, I googled “Roby Ridge.” What resulted was a stack of tendentious websites describing an incident whereby a woman barricaded herself in her home and fired on police rather than obey a court order for a psych exam. She held off police for several weeks with the threat of further violence, before finally being removed safely from her home. The psych exam was then carried out, and it found no basis for committing her. This doesn’t strike me as an especially abusive exercise of state power, and someone who shoots at police officers doesn’t seem like a desirable poster child.
tcb 01.31.04 at 8:58 pm
Tom hit several nails on the head with both his posts. I have to chime in with another two cents (and I know that no-one gives tuppence for my two cents, but what the hey). During my divorce in 2001, my doctor and I agreed that I would voluntarily enter a psychiatric hospital. Diagnosis: acute dysphoric mania. He called the place and made arrangements. So I got to the hospital and they refused to let me check in unless I paid a deposit of $5000, because I’m not insured! So I went home. Welcome to America. Oh, if only I’d known the magic word, “Thud.” (PS >> Yes, there is a county-run hospital for emergency cases. But really.)
Conrad Barwa 02.01.04 at 1:27 am
The story has some interesting parallels to Sam Fuller’s excellent film “Shock Corridor” where a struggling journalist who is determined to win the fame and recognition decides to go undercover in a lunatic asylum to expose a murderer of one of the inmates. He gets himself committed after repeated coaching by a former psy who teaches him to mimic incestuous feelings towards his false sister (in reality his girlfriend) in order to get admitted and ‘fool’ the doctors; a feat which is demonstrated to be a considerable obstacle. Once in the asylum he meets the various inmates, all of whom show some sort of wider sickness in society at the time: the victim of anti-Communist and then Communist brainwashing, a physicist who worked on the atomic bomb and the first black cadet into a military academy suffused with racism who cracks under the pressure and imagines himself to be a member of the KKK. The journalist gets more and more sucked in and eventually writes his story and wins his Pulitzer but is rendered insane by the experience and doesn’t recover. Fuller was a very depressing film-maker, in many ways.
Keith M Ellis 02.01.04 at 1:35 am
Psychiatry suffers in comparison to the rest of medicine partly because people don’t realize how uncertain any medical diagnosis is and how little we really know. As tom t. guesses, there’s a whole host of symptoms a pseudopatient could present in a conventional ER which would be taken at face value. Of course they would. It’s not normal to hear a voice say “thud”. It’s also not normal to suffer continual abdominal pain. And for the most part, the physician can only take your word for it. I think the real insight in Slater’s experience is that while we may be little more confident of a correct diagnosis today than in 1972, mental patients are more likely to be treated with dignity and compassion than they were thirty years ago. That’s a big change. An aside: a few years ago I was suicidally depressed and was admitted to a mental ward on two occasions for about a week each. I got very good care, although I didn’t get much better via anything other than time. I actually have very fond memories of the place, because, I think, it was a safe place where people were very concerned about me. And the rest of the world “stopped”—I didn’t have to worry about anything other than figuring out how to want to be alive. 80% of the patients were women, and 95% were acutely depressed. We patients were also very concerned and supportive with each other, which was also very helpful. This was the largest part of the good the stay does for most people, I think—it indicates that (at least with depressed people) a lot could be done with non-medical support and “safety nets” for people in crisis.

Thank you for finding such a great article.
Mark 02.01.04 at 4:32 am
Great article. I’m an academic pediatric emergency physician and I share her concern for the apparent overuse of antipsychotic and antidepressive medications. Patients feigning any number of illnesses will leave the emergency department with medications because physicians are taught to listen to the patient, and over 80% of diagnoses come primarily from the history. In my opinion the threshold for prescribing antidepressives or antipsychotics should be higher than muscle relaxants or analgesics, but my frequent use of those meds makes me more comfortable with them. Psychiatrists get very comfortable with their meds. Primum no nocere, first do no harm, is a dictum of the past. Physicians today are inclined to treat rather than observe in the abscence of certainty. Most would rather commit an error of commission than an error of omission. At least s/he tried. There are many reasons for this, one of which is the perceived threat of litigation.
andrew 02.02.04 at 9:52 am
I’m sure everybody knows this, but hearing voices is absolutely not normal, and a sure sign of paranoid schizophrenia – a very dangerous disease. People with it are prone to hurt themselves or others. It doesn’t normally just go away. Anyone not taking the symptom “hearing voices” seriously would be negligent. I’m surprised that she wasn’t admitted everytime, even against her will. But they did prescribe a antipsychotic, which is non-narcotic and not particularly dangerous. They then made sure she should follow up. I don’t think the psychologists overreacted at all – I’d say the opposite. It’s strange to me that the article suggests otherwise.
Chris Martin 02.02.04 at 5:03 pm
Qutie a coincidence that this topic came up. Just yesterday I was reading Gulag by Anne Applebaum, and was fascinated by the ways in which prisoners faked symptoms to get hospitalized. The gulag administration then developed counter-strategies to discover which prisoners were faking. Although many prisoners faked schizophrenia, administrators found that the easiest way to “out” fakers was to put them in a ward with real schizophrenics. The fakers would beg to be let out within a few hours. Another strategy was to fake paralysis. Doctors would then put the patient on an operating table and anaesthetize him. When the patient woke up, he would get off the table and start walking before remembering that he was supposed to be faking paralysis at which would point he would fall to the floor. I would highly recommend Gulag by the way for anyone interested in the history of the much overlooked concentration camps of Soviet Russia.
Monica 02.07.04 at 6:28 pm
Tom T and tcb, very interesting comments. I get the same feeling as Tom about Slater’s “bias”, so to speak. She wrote one too many books on her own “success story” and I tend to think one would have sufficed. Also, she wrote an entire one in praise of Prozac, so I don’t get exactly what her point about medication and diagnosis is… I’m ambivalent about her whole story, as well as the original experiment/prank in the sixties. On the one hand, it is a great read, thought-provoking, and, also, funny. On the other, I don’t think playing this sort of “jokes” is very respectful of people who are really suffering, or of the work of doctors and nurses. There are all kinds – good ones, bad ones, so-and-so ones, but what do you expect if you’re just faking it? You can’t assess the quality of psychiatric care by pretending to have a disorder. You need to really have one, to be able to tell if you’re getting good or bad treatment. You may also need to try out different places, different doctors, different methods. I’d have thought someone who went through problems like Slater did would have know that already, without needing this sort of thing. So these experiments alone really don’t prove much, because they alter the whole premise, that the person seeking therapy is really suffering from an illness, a disorder, a temporary crisis. They only prove you can fool a doctor, well, doh. This is not about measuring fever or blood pressure. That a doctor will take a person claiming to suffer from delusions at her word, is only proof they’re listening to the patient. Not a bad start, for a psychiatric therapy. |

Bringing good R&B back
Introducing the newest “R” in R&B, Ravaughn.
With fresh-faced looks and sugary voice, she is working hard to be one leading ladies behind the drive to bring “good” R&B back.
“I think Miguel is bringing it back… and Elle Varner [as well]. I feel like we were missing it back in the States, it is definitely about “turn up” music and dance music. Music used to tell a story and you used to listen to a song and say, ‘that’s about me’. We need that, we’re missing that and I think people are craving that now,” she explained.
Signed to Ne-Yo’s Compound University, Ravaughn whet the musical palettes for the Grammy winner in front of hundreds of patrons at the recently-held CHUM 104.5 Breakfast in Barbados concert.
Paving the way was how Ravaughn got her start in the music business. She was the demo singer for tracks done for the likes of Nicki Minaj, Natasha Beddingfield and Ne-Yo. As Ravaughn sat with Bajan Vibes for a lightning-quick interview at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion, the singer revealed she was content with the gig and thought it would be the extent of her music career.
“I think everyone got used to me doing the demos, so nobody was really thinking of me as an artist… I was making good money and I didn’t have any bills, I was fresh out of college and living with my parents. It was fine and I figured I wasn’t supposed to be an artist.”
Ravaughn has also worked as a back-up singer on FOX’s hit show, Glee and even tried out for American Idol, but surprisingly did not make it past the first round.
Ne-Yo noticed something more in her, however, and encouraged the Manhattanville college alum to be more than a voice behind the voices.
“He is like a big brother to me. I am the oldest of three, so I never had someone to look up to like that. He is one of the greatest songwriters of our time, he is so laid back and so chill and he motivates me. He works so hard and I am signed to him so I have to work hard too. It is great to walk in a great person’s footsteps.”
Since then, the former journalism major has been working on Love Always, her first full album slated for release in June. Teasers can be found on major hip hop and R&B websites, featuring Better Be Good (featuring Wale), Best Friend and Loving U, all performed at Holder’s Hill.
As her star begins its ascent to fame, Ravaughn has assured she will remain focussed – with help from her support circle.
“The people I surround myself with are laid back and [focus on] who you are as a person. Because my upbringing was great, I know that if there is something that you want and I don’t want to give it to you, I’m sorry, you will have to find somebody else,” she stated frankly.
It is this kind of fearless grounding that has caused Ravaughn to focus on uplifting women.
“Ne-Yo renamed me the new voice of women, so I am just here to remind women that sometimes when we get into relationships, we forget ourselves. I am here to remind women that we need to think about ourselves. Sometimes these men don’t be treating us right and we can be bad all by ourselves,” the songbird said. [email protected] |

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can't make an image map for myspace. Because of the "

table table {border: 0px;}
table table table table{border: 0px;}
table table table {border: 0px solid; border-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; }</style>

Sep 11 2006, 09:56 PM
ok. so the rectangles gone..but the layout is still on the bottom right. i just need it to be centered you know? coz i made it so that there wouldnt be any scrolling needed..
This Confession
Sep 11 2006, 10:24 PM
well how are you positioning the image?
You should put it in a div and postion it:
to do this:
Putting up your main image.
Upload it at
and then put it into this
CODE
<div class="bg" style="position: absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:000px; height:000px; overflow: hidden;">
<img src="IMAGEURLHERE">
</div>
Change the top and left to position where the image is.
And change the width and height to the same as the image.
I suggest making the top about 160-170px
So its right under the navigation bar more than likely.
Really Just mess with the numbers and such and you'll get the hang of it

Sep 11 2006, 10:35 PM
ugh..i should have known!!! man..it's been one month since ive used a div layout & i already forgot?! sheesh ive got bad memory! really sorry!!!

For all the satellite imagery and global information available about the ocean, the true patterns of its currents and its responses to change are often shrouded in mystery. These are mysteries Dr Björn Backeberg, oceanographic researcher and co-director of the Nansen-Tutu Centre for Marine Environmental Research in the Department of Oceanography at the University of Cape Town, is working to understand. As possibly the only scholar in South Africa working in the area of ocean data assimilation with its significant importance for operational oceanography, Backeberg aims to ultimately develop a tool for use by the Weather Service and the department of environmental affairs to accurately predict ocean current behavior and responses to changing conditions.
Having initially set out to study business science in Cape Town, Backeberg quickly realised that his interest lay in the ocean. As a keen surfer and commercial diver, he wanted to work in a field related to the ocean. “But I was never very good at biology,” he admits, “So I did not go in to marine biology, the more ‘romantic’ side of marine sciences.”
Instead, his focus is on numerical modelling with the help of supercomputers, to understand the impacts of climate change and wind patterns on ocean currents. Among a number of papers he has written, in 2012 he co-authored an important article on climate change effects in the Indian Ocean and the Agulhas Current, in the prestigious international journal Nature Climate Change. His work is challenging, he says, because of the complexity and cost involved in gathering accurate data on the vast ocean. The most rewarding aspects of the work are occasional trips out to sea, and discovering that simulations have accurately predicted the real conditions. It’s engaging work, he says: “There is still so much to be done. There are unbelievable mysteries in the ocean — every day you find something new.”
In addition to developing models to help us better understand ocean currents, Backeberg hopes that his work will ultimately contribute to job creation for more oceanographic researchers. “It’s an interesting field, but the career path in oceanography is not well developed in South Africa. Hopefully by developing the operational aspect of oceanography, we can create more opportunities for students to study the science and work in the marine sector of industry.”

Top Places To Visit This Season The occasions may be finished, however that doesn't mean the craving for something new needs to stop. Another year points the ideal opportunity to tick a couple of goals off that movement can list—and we're here to help kick you off! Following the yearly forecasts of universal travel administrator Scott Dunn, we've gathered together a rundown of the best spots to visit this 2019. Regardless of whether it's climbing through unknown Chile or drawing near and individual with Rwanda's mountain gorillas, flavor things up this year by tossing a couple out-of-the-case thoughts into your touring plans. Slovenia A concealed pearl in the core of Europe, Slovenia offers stunning mountains, woodlands and lakes—fortunately still to some degree off-radar for less prepared voyagers. Relish in lovely scenes and an entrancing history, reflected through medieval mansions and the flourishing neighborhood culture. Exercises astute, all the exemplary experience staples are there available to you—prompt climbing, kayaking and boating. At that point there are the things you can't discover anyplace else, similar to the Old Town, with its curious nineteenth century shop-fronts and cobblestone ways, or the strange and amazing shelters concealed underground. Chile Chile may be a recognizable name on 'Top Places To Visit' records, yet we're discussing the strange Chile. Eager nature sweethearts have a ton to get amped up for, as there are three new picturesque trekking courses to investigate. Covering generally 2,800km, the courses extend from port city Puerto Montt toward the Southern headland Cape Horn. Investigate the wild ponders of Patagonia through the Southern Way or the Patagonian channels trail. You can likewise select to take another course toward the southernmost piece of A chilean area, and observer for yourself the genuine End of The World Northern Peru With regards to Peru, crowds of voyagers have their sights set on the Sacred Valley of Machu Picchu. Keep away from the groups and appreciate the nation's charm sans push-push by heading up North to the lesser-known—however in any case delightful—Chachapoyas. Situated in Peru's high Andes, fantastic cloud woodlands spread the area. There you'll discover the ridge remains of Kuelap, which have existed even before the Inca Empire. Covered up in a rough gulch is likewise the stunning Gocta Waterfall, which must be come to by trekking with a private guide. Rwanda Rwanda has enticed explorers for a long while, and isn't difficult to perceive any reason why. The National Parks are buzzing with savannahs and wetlands. The Big Five are likewise all in participation—sign lions, panthers, rhinos, bison and even African shrub elephants. Chimpanzees fly over branches in prospering wildernesses, and the tree-line sings with the caw of more than 300 flying creature species. The key feature? Rwanda is one of the world's solitary spots where you can recognize a portion of the last mountain gorillas in presence. Choose a Gorilla Trek to get very close with mankind's nearest relatives (they do share about 98% of our DNA). What makes this year a perfect time to design a trek? All the more top of the line properties are set to open inside the year, offering expanded availability in addition to that pinch of extravagance you realize you can't generally live without. Zimbabwe An ideal blend of dazzling safaris meets refined roads, Zimbabwe is one of those shrouded spots that was near winding up completely found and even advertised, when inward political disturbances put a damper on its accomplishment in the travel industry scene. This year, as the political circumstance continuously settles, the nation is by and by creating expanding interest. Zimbabwe is basically back on the playing field, and as camps begin reviving and designs are made for new properties to be assembled, you better catch the last trails of its concealed jewel vibes before the worldwide vacationer fever outsmarts you. |

During Advent, Filipinos celebrate Simbang Gabi (Night Mass), a novena of Masses that expresses the love for God through our Blessed Mother Mary. Filipinos gather for nine consecutive days of prayer in anticipation of Jesus’ birth. Individual parishes in the Diocese of Richmond are welcome to celebrate Simbang Gabi starting Dec. 15, through Dec. 23, at 4 p.m.
Simbang Gabi is a long-treasured Philippine tradition. It is originally a series of “dawn Masses” for nine consecutive days before Christmas Day. Its liturgical significance emanates from Advent being a season of spiritual preparation and purification to worthily welcome and receive the Child Jesus in our midst.
The Mass at Dawn, Simbang Gabi, is one of the longest and most important religious celebrations in the Philippines, which has lasted over 600 years.
The Simbang Gabi is a time when Catholic parishes in 1587, when Pope Sixtus V gave permission to Diego de Soria, a Mexican friar, to hold Mass outdoors because the churches could not accommodate the huge number of worshippers that came to celebrate Christmas.
The novena culminates usually celebrated at 4 a.m. since they took place during the harvest season when farmers had to be in the fields at the crack of dawn.
Mass, people gather in their homes to celebrate Noche Buena and feast on local delicacies made of rice flour, coconut milk and other traditional desserts.

The Thermal Man is a robot that is nearly indestructible. Even Thor had a tough time trying to break him, but ultimately he prevailed. Just as he won in the comic using his lightning, so shall Thor win again. The Thermal Man ultimately doesn’t have the durability to keep on taking hits as well as Thor can. It’ll take a lot of damage to put Thor down, more than the Thermal Man can hope to dish out. This isn’t even counting once Thor enters Berserk mode. Thor wins.

PICTURE BOOK TRAILER PREMIERE & THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY by Carol Gordon Ekster
Maybe it sounds crazy, but I do some of my best writing on planes. Perhaps it’s the tight space or the lack of distraction….but I find focus in the cramp, “Ya.) And though I hate to share my early drafts, (They’re not quite up to snuff) I’ll let you see one part, so you can understand where I was going.
Ya know what?
When I spin too fast on a ride at the amusement park…
I throw up everything. But I feel much better! 35 years as an elementary school teacher where I planned weeks ahead. So on the plane trip home I was surprised by the story that developed. It became a little boy procrastinating his bedtime by asking his mom repeatedly, “You know what?”
This was the 60th story that I had written in these past 15 years that I have been writing. And I have collected 1300 plus rejections. Each of my previous manuscripts that were contracted by publishers have received no less than 13 rejections. But this new one? It all happened pretty quickly…that is for the world of publishing. I shared it with two critique groups., Ya Know What? and in only about six weeks, I got that wonderful jump-for-joy acceptance e-mail.’ll be three when the English version, You Know What?, hits the shelves this September. And if you come across the Fall 2017 Clavis catalog, you’ll notice the title is still listed as Ya Know What?. Clavis approached me with concerns about the original title, and I agreed with their suggestion to change it. But the catalog had already gone to print.
This. When I started writing fifteen years ago, I became a better teacher. And I believe my teaching experiences have made me a better writer…a better person, actually!
What group better to share the premier of my book trailer with for You Know What?, than with my literature-loving #kidlit-appreciating Nerdy Book Club. Oh, and I wrote this post on a plane…to visit my grandson, of course!
When Carol Gordon Ekster is not thinking about writing or teaching, she does yoga, biking, participates in critique groups, and works on her own books. She is grateful that her writing gives her another way to communicate with children. Find out more at. And connect with her on Twitter @cekster and Goodreads.
An adorable trailer! I love the way your story came about. It proves that you never know where,when,or how inspiration will strike. 😊
So cute. Great trailer! Loved the guitar.
I love learning more about your journey as a writer. Love the trailer. Did you make it or did your publisher?
My husband and I worked on it together but he did the singing!
You know what? I can’t wait to read this book! Great trailer. Congratulations, Carol.
Jane, thank you so much. It has been such fun to share this author life with terrific #kidlit folks like yourself. And it just became available for pre-order. It was so exciting to see the English title up on Amazon!
Congrats, Carol, on that serendipitous moment on the plane, sharing in your grandson’s world, and “You Know What?”! So very happy for you 🙂
Thank you, Jeanne. I’m loving this journey!
What a great idea and wonderful to be inspired by a little boy on a plane. Thanks for sharing your publishing journey with us!
Fantastic, I love the trailer. I can’t wait to read the book.
Thank you, Dayne, and all the other commenters. I am grateful that in your busy day you took the time to read the post and comment!
You know what? You should fly more often Carol! Congratulations.
You know what, Cathy? That’s a great idea!
What a great story behind the story, Carol! I was a teacher for a long time too so I understand where you are coming from with planning and the immediateness(is that a word? See, the teacher in me wonders about such things!) of lessons. So to have a story born so out of the blue is wonderful. Best wishes with You Know What!
Oh, Carol, this is such a great post! I love hearing how the book came about, and the trailer is precious! Congratulations.
Wonderful, Carol! I love learning the story behind your latest book and more about your writing background, as well. I would have commented yesterday, but I couldn’t get the trailer to work on my laptop. I’m so glad I waited and tried again—what a fun trailer (you and your husband did a great job). Best of luck with “You Know What” and congratulations!
Thanks, Marcia. Each new book brings a new and wonderful experience. Thanks for being part of my writing journey since way back!
So happy that magic surrounded you on this timeless tale. |
You might think you know your way around a great kiss, but you probably don't know these 14 awesome facts about kissing.
1. You transfer 80 million bacteria in 10 seconds
In just a ten second kiss, the bacteria cultures in your mouth drastically change. You transfer 80 million microbes between the two of you. While it may sound gross, there's really no problem with transferring bacteria. In fact, your partner may have some microbes that will be helpful to your mouth's community.

2. Kissing takes 146 muscles
If you think kissing is just about your lips and tongue, think again. Apparently kissing involves 146 muscles, 34 in your face, as well as 112 postural muscles.
3. Many cultures think it's gross
In a study of 168 cultures, scientists discovered that only 77 (or 46%) actually kiss as a romantic gesture. In fact, many other cultures don't understand the practice and think kissing is "gross."
4. Kissing boosts your immune system
You may be swapping bacteria when you kiss but that can actually be a good thing, research shows that this can be the key to boosting immunity and fighting disease.
5. You spend 2 weeks of your life kissing
Scientists have discovered that the average person spends about 20,160 minutes kissing over the course of their life. That translates into roughly two weeks of kissing.
6. Kissing really does determine compatibility
Our bodies are biologically hardwired to recognize compatibility and many studies say that the key to recognizing that is in the chemistry of a person's saliva. In other words, by swapping saliva with someone else, you can discover if you are compatible with your partner.
7. Kissing is good for your teeth
Kissing won't prevent you from needing to brush and floss, but studies show that due to the increased saliva flow, kissing can aid in preventing tooth decay.
8. Kissing makes you lose sleep and your appetite
Kissing increases the neurotransmitter, dopamine, which makes it hard for you to sleep and quells your appetite.
9. Kissing burns calories
You burn about 2-5 calories for every minute kissing. While you still might need to do a few jumping jacks, a make-out session definitely beats spending time at the gym.
10. More kissing means a better relationship
One study discovered that couples who engage in more kissing are more satisfied in their relationships than those who kiss less. So, if you want to up your relationship satisfaction, up your smooching.
11. The longest kiss was over two days
The record for the longest kiss is held by Ekkachai Tiranarat and Laksana Tiranarat of Thailand who competed in an event to hold the title of longest kiss. Their kiss lasted over 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds.
12. Lips have over a million nerve endings
Did you realize that kissing feels so good because lips are so sensitive? With over a million nerve endings, your lips are one of the most sensitive parts of your body.
13. Kissing causes your eyes to close
Not only would it be creepy and uncomfortable to have your eyes open while you're kissing, but due to a hormonal reaction, eyes dilate when kissing, which causes you to close your eyes.

14. Two thirds of people tilt their head to the right
If you're at a loss of which way to go, never fear, most people instinctively tilt their heads to the right when going in for a kiss. |

There are two big mittens for me, one small one for him, and a little mitten shaped pocket for his hand to hold onto mine. We love them! I’ve seen knit versions of these before and always wanted to make them. I got some of Lion Brand’s Woolspun for Christmas in the colors Mesa Print (which I used for my Rustic Cappalletti Cowl) and also Desert Sun Mix, which I used for this project. For my son’s mitts I used the same yarn but in the color Charcoal. There are little hints of grey in the Desert Sun Mix, so it matched my mittens AND his winter coat! That’s what I like to call yarn fate 😉
The pattern for these mittens is called Hello Gnome Mittens and it comes from Moogly. It includes 3 different sizes of mittens for child, teen/small adult and large adult. I typically take a large for mittens and gloves so I made the large size. I also made a pair for a friend of mine in teen/small adult and they fit me just fine so I could have worn either.
The child was a little big for my toddler’s hand so I made a few changes and left out a few rows after the thumb and voila! Extra small size mittens.
If you take a look at the mittens in the pattern versus the ones I made, they look a little different. Instead of turning after every row, I just joined and chained one then continued in the same direction. This was an accident at first but I really like the way it looked with this multi colored yarn so I did it through out the whole thing. The other pair I made were using a solid color and for that one I turned after the join in every row like in the original pattern.
For the little pocket mitten piece, I started the pattern at the base of the mitten after the wrist band. For this part I turned after every row where you would normally continue on to make the other side. This is because I just wanted half of the mitten to sew onto my mitten. Make sense? I hope so. I also made another mitten for him so he could wear these solo too.
These mittens come in very handy for those times when you’re just in a parking lot or on a short walk. You know when it’s cold enough you need them but you’re not out long enough to get all bundled up? I’m happy with how they turned out.
Check out more mittens and other miscellaneous projects of mine here. 🙂 |

Post by Joel Tannenbaum
Problem: The most wonderful novel in the English language is considered difficult and inaccessible by lots of people who would totally love if they only gave it a chance.
Solution: Bloomsday! Every year on June 16, the day on which James Joyce’s super-mega novel Ulysses takes place, Philadelphia’s Rosenbach Museum closes off its whole block of Delancey Street and hosts a free, all-day party designed to make people fall in love with Ulysses — for the first time or all over again. The staple of Bloomsday is the readings. Throughout the day, a succession of well-known locals read passages aloud. The lineup varies from year to year (Ed Rendell and Marty Moss-Coane will be onstage this year) but always culminates in a spectacular reading of the final chapter, “Penelope,” by Drucie McDaniel of Philadelphia Theatre Caravan. Besides the readings there are visual treats, a smattering of classy refreshments, and a fun and informative Joyce exhibition inside the museum.
Lots of cities have a Bloomsday event, but only one has James Joyce’s handwritten manuscript of the novel, and that city is Philly, where the manuscript is housed in the Rosenbach’s permanent collection. Take that Dublin!
Published in 1922, Ulysses tells the story of an exceptionally unexceptional day in the life of the book’s protagonist, Leopold Bloom, as he ambles around the streets of Dublin in 1904. Bloom makes breakfast for his wife Molly, goes to work, writes a letter, goes to a bar, helps out a drunken student, and some other stuff. The catch is that Joyce (along with Sylvia Plath considered the architect of English modernism) borrows the story’s structure from Homer’s Odyssey, the story of Odysseus, a Greek king who spends ten years trying to get home to his wife Penelope after the Trojan War. Joyce’s point? People will still be arguing about that a hundred years from now. But what most people take from Ulysses is that there is something heroic about everyday life.
There’s a lot more to say about Ulysses, and about Bloomsday, but let’s leave it at this: Very little of the magic of Bloomsday can be conveyed in writing. You just have to go. It’s for kids, adults, Joyce devotees, people who just like Irish stuff, anybody really. Like Ulysses, it’s a celebration of what it means to be human.

Q: If a will says that 3 people are named executors. Is it illegal for one of them to close a bank account before probate?
A: The Will must be probated, and the court must appoint the personal representatives (executors/executrix in Virginia) before they have any power at all. If the bank account is not a probate asset. like an account in which a beneficiary is named or a joint account that was not created for the benefit of the decedent, all that is required is the death certificate and proof of identity of the beneficiary.. |

Out to Pasture: A Sunfresh Saga
"There, on the small, artist-run, organic farm [...] I began to wonder just how closely my ongoing obsession with figuration coincided with my curiosity about the Western Uplands of Wisconsin."
"What hidden relationship might I ascertain between anthropoid and geographic topographies, bringing the two ever-nearer, ultimately in tandem [...]?"
"A vision occurred to me one evening while contemplating the crimson sunset from across the gorge: sheets flowing in the unseen currents of northern air."

However hot, hazy, and humid, August in Memphis is a time for optimism if you're a football fan. Before the season's opening kickoff — this Saturday for the University of Memphis, in the Liberty Bowl against Ole Miss — every team from UCF to UCLA is undefeated. For the 2007 Memphis Tigers, optimism is a welcome tonic.
Having survived a 2-10 trainwreck in 2006, head coach Tommy West turned his staff inside out over the off-season. Six of West's nine full-time staffers are new to the program, the lone holdovers being offensive coordinator Clay Helton, offensive line coach Rick Mallory, and linebackers coach Kenny Ingram. Add the requisite hope and optimism of a new job to the mix and this year's squad will take its lead from a staff that has little tolerance for any aftertaste from last season.
"They're good teachers," says West of his new assistants. "And that's what coaching is: teaching. I'm really excited about it."
West dismisses any thoughts of the risk in such a dramatic turnover in staff. "I keep a good grip on things," he says. "And I do what I think is necessary to move us forward. The [challenge] has been to get everybody on the same page. We know how to win. That's what I had to impress on them: You're not coming into a program that hasn't won. We're not here to get on your page. You need to get on our page. We've been to more bowl games than all of them. And they've done a good job of understanding what we do and how we do it.
"When you've had a staff together for four or five years," he continues, "it's easier for the head coach. The other coaches know what's expected. That's my job, to coach the coaches. It's their job to coach the players."
Here's a look at the season ahead through the eyes of three of the new coaches.
Brent Pry (Defensive Line)
The 37-year-old Pry arrives in Memphis having spent the last five seasons at Louisiana-Lafayette (ULL). During Pry's time at ULL, the Ragin' Cajuns won a Sun Belt Conference championship and saw three defensive players selected in the NFL draft. Having played collegiately as a safety at Buffalo, Pry has taken a unique path to overseeing defensive linemen.
"I've coached them all," Pry stresses. "When I went to Virginia Tech as a grad assistant, I coached the line for three years. I coached the secondary at Western Carolina, and I've also coached linebackers. We had some great defenses at Virginia Tech, and that was primarily because of our front four. You can take a ball game over from the defensive line. If they can't block you up front, they can't do much of anything."
Pry seems every bit as happy to be in Memphis as West is to add him to the mix. "I wanted to work for Tommy West six years ago," he explains, "and it didn't work out, but I've always had a great amount of respect for him. Coming from Virginia Tech and knowing Tommy when he was at Clemson, I've got a lot of respect for the kind of defensive coach he was. I also had a close relationship with [new defensive coordinator] Rick Kravitz."
Though new to the Mid-South, Pry has a feel for the lay of the land. And he has a unique perspective — optimism, remember — on the team he inherits. "Coming from the Sun Belt Conference," Pry reflects, "we played a lot of Conference USA schools, so I had an idea of what was good and what wasn't in this league, and I was very impressed with the talent on this football team. [Last year's] record was not indicative of the talent."
Pry has a different angle — again, coming from the Sun Belt — from fans who continue to insist this is SEC country. "Conference USA has a bigger, better athlete," Pry notes. "There was speed in the Sun Belt, though not as much. The overall makeup of your roster has much greater potential in this league. In the Sun Belt, maybe the top 10 guys could play in this league. I also think there's a greater commitment from the administration in this league."
Considering last year's Tiger team suffered a nine-game losing streak — one that didn't include the season-opening loss to Ole Miss — how can Pry carry his rosy outlook with a straight face? "Anytime you make a change at the coordinator position, it's tough," he stresses. "You're going from a very different scheme. Joe Lee Dunn's scheme was atypical. To change from that scheme was difficult. The kids had to be exposed to new adjustments and things they didn't have to deal with under the old system.
"We had a head start this spring, really diving into the 4-3 and what Tommy and Rick Kravitz want to do," Pry says. "I expect to see a lot of improvement. The first thing that comes to mind when I look at a defensive line is mentality. Along with coaching technique with this group, I've coached the heck out of them when it comes to mentality. The more maturity I can get out of this group, the more commitment. It's a tough position to play, especially on first and second down. You've got to have a mature bunch. Do they understand the work involved? Do they understand the commitment, the unselfish approach? They have to get the most out of every rep, every practice. It's an image that they're forming, to be respected by their teammates and their coaches."
In identifying a leader among his unit, Pry points to a rookie defensive tackle: "Freddie Barnett, the junior-college transfer, has been a real inspiration. He has tremendous ability and all the intangibles. He's unselfish, talented, and a very big team player. He's constantly pushing the rest of the group."
Greg Terrell — a C-USA All-Freshman selection a year ago — is another player fans should spotlight this fall. "Greg has put on about 30 pounds," Pry says. "He's bigger and stronger. He's growing into the new system, and there's a lot of competition at the [defensive end] position. Greg's had to work harder than he ever has before. He's beginning to understand that you're not going to get by on ability alone."
Darin Hinshaw (wide receivers)
Led by sophomore Duke Calhoun (42 receptions for 681 yards in '06), the Tiger receiving corps should be a strength this fall, particularly if senior quarterback Martin Hankins builds on his strong finish last season and tailback Joseph Doss keeps opposing defenses honest against the run. The pass-catchers will be guided by 35-year-old Darin Hinshaw, a record-breaking quarterback at Central Florida during his playing days and most recently the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Georgia Southern. Hinshaw also spent five years at Middle Tennessee State, where the Blue Raiders developed into one of the highest-scoring offenses in the Sun Belt.
Ask Hinshaw about his unit and the coach has to take a breath before reeling off the names he expects to make an impact: Calhoun, Carlos Singleton, Earnest Williams, Steven Black (a junior-college transfer), Carlton Robinzine (recovered from a knee injury that cost him the 2006 season). It's a case of strength in numbers that the Tiger passing game hasn't always enjoyed.
"Through the course of a season," Hinshaw explains, "you're going to use all your receivers, and they're gonna have to rotate. When you can rotate a starter and backup and not lose anything, that's huge. Normally, defensive backs don't rotate at all, so you have a chance to run some deep routes, tire them out, and not lose anything at receiver.
"We run sets with three and four receivers," Hinshaw continues. "We're going to move them around, to get them in position to get mismatches. When you have one great receiver, the defense will roll coverage to him. But when you have good receivers on both sides, it creates one-on-one matches. We've got to make plays."
Hinshaw loves the leadership Calhoun has shown at the start of his second college season. "Duke's always the first in line for sprints," Hinshaw says. "When you have a guy with talent like his wanting to work, it gets everybody focused."
Whether it's size, speed, strength, or versatility, Hinshaw feels the Tiger wideouts are equipped to create their share of headaches for the opposition. "We've gained a lot of experience at the position," he notes. "We're gonna move Duke around a lot, and we'll have depth with Maurice Jones. Earnest Williams is going to be one of the top inside receivers in the conference. Usually you have one guy, then you have a bunch of average players that you're trying to get better. I feel like we have weapons that can catch the ball and score. We've got strong receivers: Jones broke the school squat record [for receivers] this summer."
A quarterback's blood still pulsing through his veins, Hinshaw recognizes the development of Martin Hankins as critical to his unit's performance in the season ahead. And he likes what he sees thus far. "[Hankins] has really come along from where he was last year," Hinshaw says. "He's gotten bigger, stronger, and he's gotten a lot more confident with the receivers. When a bunch of guys get hurt, you lose that relationship. [Backup quarterback] Will Hudgens is a leader, too. And he's had a good summer."
With seven or eight receivers in the mix, Hankins had better become familiar with faces before he starts gazing downfield. And those receivers he ultimately sees had better catch the ball, because a ready-and-able replacement will be on the sideline.
"That's what's great about making each other better, the competition," Hinshaw says. "If you don't have someone pushing you from behind, you can get stagnant. As a group, we're working to make each other better and win as a team. Some games you may catch 10 balls, others you may catch three. It depends on what the defense is doing. Everybody's gotta be ready to perform and to make plays."
Rick Kravitz (defensive coordinator)
It's almost a universal truth among Tiger fans that the 2006 season was all but compromised with the midseason dismissal of defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn. As Pry notes, the adjustments forced upon players — while preparing for the next week's foe — proved too much for the Tiger defense. With West himself overseeing the scheme transition, important details were lost in translation. The end result: an average of more than 30 points allowed per game.
To the rescue comes Rick Kravitz. Having first filled the role of defensive coordinator in 1986 (at Florida A&M), Kravitz brings a single-minded determination for defensive improvement to the 2007 Tigers. During a decade spent at South Florida, Kravitz coordinated a unit that ranked among the top 20 defenses nationally three times. (Last year — his only season at North Carolina State — the Wolfpack finished 13th in the country against the pass.)
Having been on the opposite sideline, Kravitz welcomes the chance to mold a defense at West's side. "Knowing Coach West's defensive background," Kravitz says, "it was exciting to get the chance to come here and learn some things from him. He's a fundamentals coach, which I like. He's a guy who lets you coach. He wants things done his way, which is natural. He's straightforward."
He won't go so far as to describe a "Rick Kravitz philosophy to defense," but the 53-year-old Florida native does believe there is value in change. "I bring — along with the other new coaches — some enthusiasm and excitement. Defensively, we're developing an attitude. If the ball's on the one-yard line, you know, we still have a yard to go. We're being positive, aggressive. If we can improve 2 percent a day, after 20 days we've improved 40 percent."
How is a defense that was so staggered a year ago reshaped into a unit capable of beating Division I-A competition? Kravitz considers the answer elementary. "We have to continue to work on fundamentals and get better at what we do. If we do that, no matter what we run, we're going to be a better defensive team. Kids have bought into my fundamentals, and that's how you get better and better."
Kravitz echoes Pry's sentiments about Barnett when describing the off-season leaders of his defense. He also says defensive back Dontae Reed — a transfer from Ole Miss — has made a difference. "They encourage each other," Kravitz notes. "Dontae has gathered players for workouts, taking responsibility and getting things done."
A new season, a new schedule, and lots of new faces. Why not be optimistic as year seven of the Tommy West era dawns in Memphis?
"With six new coaches," Pry says, "it forces you to move forward. We weren't here for [the 2-10 season]. It's been a breath of fresh air, a renewal.
"This is the most well-disciplined football team I've ever been around," he adds. "And it starts at the top with Coach West. These players — and the coaches — have a tremendous respect for him and how he wants to run this program. The whole group is coming together as a football team."
The first exam is Saturday against Ole Miss. |

Well the first few nights in the trailer sure went fast, we packed in a lot of fun too, but it was time to break camp and head home. It was going to be a long drive at about 375 miles. Lucky for use we had a stop to make in NY on the way home to show my parents the trailer.
Breaking camp for the first time was interesting and a little stressful, you don't want to screw up and break anything. We diligently packed everything up in the trailer and made sure to disconnect everything, and set to lining up the hitch and ball on the truck to reconnect the trailer. This like driving also turned out to be pretty easy, we remembered how to reconnect the load balancing hits and were ready for our next adventure.
Although we had only stayed in the trailer for 3 nights we did um use the facilities. That meant we had to dump our waste for the first time. For many non-RV's I think this sounds pretty disgusting, actually up until I actually did it I thought it would be too. Really is isn't too bad there is hardly any smell and it was over pretty quickly (although again only 3 nights in the trailer meant there wasn't all that much to dump).
Anyway more on that later, we have 175 miles to drive to my parents house in New City, NY.
Here is a nice shot of the trailer and the truck parked at a rest area of New Jersey Turnpike.
We stopped for a bathroom and snack break, normally we would have been able to use the bathroom in the trailer but we had already dumped and had no plans to hit another dump-site on the way home.
The drive went pretty well, it was twice as long as our previous drive, and a lot more congested. Specially up near the NJ / NY border. There were some portions of the road I was pretty sure didn't allow trailers in tow and so ended up in some heavy traffic on Route 17. Don't even get me started on how it took 20 minutes go get back into the bumper to bumper traffic on Route 17 after stopping for gas.
Without any problems we pulled up onto my parents front lawn with the trailer, I had no choice but to pull directly across the front lawn, the driveway is way too small and there was no way I was going to back in or out of it. Spent the night at my parents, they were excited to see the trailer and a little worried I think.

Warning: Minor SPOILERS for Venom
Sony's Venom has a star-studded cast bringing its comic book characters to life, as seen in the movie's final newest trailer, finally giving fans their first official look at Venom itself. Starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, the movie features one of Marvel's greatest anti-heroes, and the longer the looks at the Venom symbiote in action, the more impressive it seems. Hardy headlines an impressive cast list, but many will be unfamiliar with the characters set to appear, so here's our helpful guide to the characters of Venom.
Tom Hardy is Eddie Brock
Eddie is a journalist investigating The Life Foundation; a scientific company whose experiments are harming innocent people. The exact plot of Venom is unknown, but Eddie's profession, and eagerness to investigate companies who may be up to no good, hasn't really changed much from the comics. An alien symbiote takes up residence in Eddie and together, they become Venom.
Related: Venom's Post Credits Scene(s) Explained
It should be stressed that the Venom movie won't necessarily follow the comic book origins of the character, which sought revenge on Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man. If anything, Venom will more closely resemble the character portrayed in Marvel's "Ultimate Comics" series, given that he doesn't have the spider logo on his chest. In that incarnation too, Venom uses tendrils as a sort of web substitute, something we've also seen in the trailer.
Michelle Williams is Ann Weying
Williams takes on the role of Eddie Brock's love interest, Ann Weying. In the original comics, Ann is actually a successful lawyer and Eddie's ex-wife, with whom he shares a love-hate relationship. Eventually, she becomes She-Venom. It's thought that in Venom, Ann works for a company that has ties to The Life Foundation, and she serves as an entry into the organization for him while an affection between the two grows. We don't expect She-Venom to appear just yet, but with sequels always a possibility, there's a good chance we could see that in the future.
Riz Ahmed is Dr. Carlton Drake
Carlton Drake is the leader of The Life Foundation; a company that performs experiments on 'volunteers' that sometimes ends up costing them their lives. Eddie is sent to investigate the company, and, as we saw in the trailer, he wastes no time in asking pointed questions of its leader. In the comics, Carlton Drake is not too dissimilar to how Riz Ahmed looked on screen, although Ahmed's costume was a little sharper and more modern. The Life Foundation is responsible for experiments involving symbiotes and that's clearly the case in Venom, too.
Jenny Slate is Dora Skirth
Jenny Slate is playing an original character in Venom. In the trailer, we first encounter Dora Skirth when she's following Eddie Brock and he clocks it. The character is said to work at The Life Foundation, though it's not clear in what capacity and whether she truly aligns with their views, or if she's going to end up being an ally for Eddie.
Related: Every Venom Easter Egg You Probably Missed
Scott Haze as Roland Treece
It's not confirmed, but it's strongly rumored that Scott Haze has taken on the role of Roland Treece, a board member of The Life Foundation. The character is pulled directly from the comics. He's not a major character, though, so this gives scope for director Ruben Fleischer to develop the role a little more.
Michelle Lee is Donna Diego
Donna Diego operates under the alter-ego Scream, and is a supervillain from the Spider-Man comics. She is one of the symbiote spawns of Venom. It's not yet clear how much of a role she will have in Venom, but as with Carnage, her presence sets up the possibility of a larger role in future sequels.
Woody Harrelson is Rumored to be Playing Carnage
Harrelson joined the Venom cast fairly late in the proceedings and its strongly rumored that he will take on the role of the villain, Carnage. In the comics, Carnage is pitted against Spider-Man and Venom, and he's also the symbiote that spawns Toxin. It's thought, though, that Harrelson's role in Venom is fairly small, because Sony is saving the character to be the main villain in any sequel.

Tom Holland is Spider-Man?
There's no word on whether Marvel movie's Spider-Man, Tom Holland will appear in Venom. If he does, it's likely to be little more than a cameo and more likely to be just as Peter Parker. This is Sony's movie, about Venom, and with the company seemingly keen to set up sequels, they'll want to make sure Venom is hardy enough to stand alone without the Spidey connection.

There are successive steps in the procedure where a plasma blank and a plasma replacement are done if the prior step do not return an MCHC < 37.0.

Which may be why she favors the calculation because no sample dilution or other error can occur there. Dan

Always increment/decrement ucount->count under the ucounts_lock. The increments are there already and moving the decrements there means the locking logic of the code is simpler. This simplification in the locking logic fixes a race between put_ucounts and get_ucounts that could result in a use-after-free because the count could go zero then be found by get_ucounts and then be freed by put_ucounts. A bug presumably this one was found by a combination of syzkaller and KASAN. JongWhan Kim reported the syzkaller failure and Dmitry Vyukov spotted the race in the code.

A child-friendly space is the South Sudanese children's happy place
Photos and texts by Lisi Emmanuel Alex, Communications Officer
Conflict always result in negative and devastating impact to people, especially children, as witnessed in South Sudan, among many other countries in the world affected by it. The country’s 12 population has close to five million children.
To help address this situation and ensure the children’s welbeing, World Vision has established 14 child-friendly spaces (CFSs) in the country, eight of them in Juba, the capital city and six in Yambio, the capital of Western Equatoria State.
According to a World Vision review on CFS, “Child Friendly Spaces are a widely used tool to help support and protect children in the context of emergencies. Sometimes called.
An estimated 9,418 South Sudanese children go to play and learn together, and are provided with counselling in the established World Vision CFSs, the biggest of which in Juba is in Gumbo with over 3,000 children. When six CFSs were established in Yambio, at least 1,239 children have joined the activities.
Lyndsay Hockin, World Vision Senior Gender and Protection Advisor said the establishment of more CFSs in other locations are underway. The facilities will help thousands of children in South Sudan have access to this happy place safe from the perils of the conflict.

My fiance' and I are thinking about going to one of these islands for our honeymoon and I'd like to see if anyone has been and knows of an upscale (luxury) place to stay. Some of the nice places we're looking at were $400+ per night which is not too bad.
Also what is there to do that doesn't involve water sports or golf?

Think about Aruba. I just got back from there about 3 weeks ago and it was awsome! I stayed at the Sonesta resort which has rooms going into those prices and you have a host of water sports, gambling and golf all over. Email me if you want more info.

So, as you finish reading this, try something: turn off the computer. Close all those windows and open the other kind. Take off your shoes. Go outside and feel the earth. If someone you know and care about is close by, maybe smile or give them a hug. Wake up to the moment at hand, not some digital moment.
Let me know if you liked the experience. Maybe share it with someone who is in an Internet Trance and needs a break. Of course, share it with them in person, not online.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina's board of trustees has approved a 7-year contract for new football coach Larry Fedora.
Trustees met for about 30 minutes Friday morning to approve the deal, which will pay more than $1.7 million annually. The deal includes several bonuses, including for winning a division or conference championship, reaching a BCS bowl and high graduation rates. The deal also includes annual retention bonuses ranging from $100,000 to $350,000 beginning in 2015.
The school has scheduled Fedora's first news conference for Friday afternoon.
Fedora had spent four seasons at Southern Mississippi, leading the No. 22 Golden Eagles to the Conference USA championship.
Fedora is the permanent replacement for Butch Davis, who was fired shortly before the season after an NCAA investigation into improper benefits and academic misconduct in the program. |
Pentagon & Congress
Trump blasted top military generals as ‘a bunch of dopes and babies’ according to new book
Mattis, a former Marine Corps general who still remains popular among members of the military, stepped down from his Cabinet post about nine months later, citing differences with Trump over support for foreign allies.
Reached by Military Times, Mattis declined comment on the new book.
During the course of the meeting, the authors wrote, Trump also suggested charging “rent” to South Korea for U.S. military forces positioned there and suggested that NATO countries owed America direct payments totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, a claim that left many in the room confused.
Publicly, Pentagon leaders characterized the meeting in a positive light. But the book authors said the incident led to a strained relationship between top generals and Trump, and the eventual departure of several high-ranking officials who were upset over the administration’s policies.
The full book is scheduled to be released on Jan. 21.

Rates on 30-year mortgages set a record for a fifth straight week by dropping to below 5 percent, the lowest mark since Freddie Mac started tracking the data in 1971.
Freddie Mac reported yesterday that average rates on 30-year fixed mortgages dropped to 4.96 percent this week, down from the previous record of 5.01 percent established last week. It was the 11th straight weekly drop.
For 15-year fixed-rate mortgage, rates rose to 4.65 percent from 4.62 percent last week, the lowest point since June 2003. For five-year, adjustable-rate mortgages, rates fell to 5.25 percent, the lowest since the week ending Sept. 8, 2005, when it averaged 5.24 percent. Rates on one-year, adjustable-rate mortgages fell to 4.89 percent. |

Imagine getting from Denver to Breckenridge in 31 minutes on a weekend powder day. No stressful traffic backup, no driving in snow and ice, just you and your skis floating inches above a magnetic track flying 180 mph up into the mountains.
That idea is not too far off for Colorado Department of Transportation planners, as they dream of a levitating train system powered by magnets to transport people through the I-70 mountain corridor.
The Colorado Depatment of Transportation has issued the results of the Advanced Guideway System Feasibility Study, concerning such a system.
And one stop being proposed is at the Highway 40 junction in Clear Creek County.
The study has revealed that while the system is feasible in terms of alignment and available technology, such a system is not currently financially feasible. The possibility of financial feasibility in the future would depend on significant state and local financial commitments as well as some level of private-sector and federal financial involvement.
Steel wheel or magnetic levitation
CDOT investigated rail technologies that could be available by 2014 for the guideway system and identified magnetic levitation (maglev) technologies as the most feasible for a rail system through the corridor.
Maglev rail systems levitate and propel trains using magnets along a guideway. Maglev trains, such as the kind in Shanghai, are designed to operate at high speeds, reaching speeds of 180 mph, which would make the ride time half that of driving the corridor.
There are a number of reasons CDOT wants to install a maglev train rather than a traditional steel wheel and rail system. One of the top reasons is the steepness of the mountain corridor.
The mountain corridor climbs at a 7 percent grade in a number of areas, which poses a problem for steel wheel and rail trains that can only climb 3 percent grades.
If a steel wheel and rail system were installed, nearly 60 percent of the rail would need to travel through tunnels to allow for the train to make the climb to the mountain communities, according to Krutsinger.
The amount of tunneling that would be required to allow a traditional steel wheel and rail system to climb through the mountain corridor makes the option cost prohibitive and increases the estimated costs by three to four times, according to Krutsinger.
Maglev trains on the other hand can climb a steeper grade such as 7 percent and therefore would require far less tunneling to be completed.
The maglev trains also travel much faster than steel wheel and rail trains. The estimated travel time from the intersection of I-70 and C-470 to the Eagle County Regional Airport for the maglev system is 73 minutes, according to the study, while the time to drive the route in a vehicle is 119 minutes.
“If you don’t provide a significant reduction in travel time, you don’t get the riders,” Krutsinger said.
Possible stop at Exit 232
One of the stops that is proposed for the system is a stop in Clear Creek County, though where is still in question.
“One of the outstanding questions is where do you put the station in Clear Creek County,” said David Krutsinger, project manager for CDOT.
One option would be to have the station located at the Highway 40 junction near Empire.
“The Empire junction would be a great connector as a jumping off point,” Krutsinger said. “Though that decision really would be driven by local input from Clear Creek County and dialogue between Clear Creek and Grand County.”
To get people over Berthoud Pass and into Grand County, Krutsinger said CDOT supports a Greyhound route from Empire into Grand County.
“Transit is the best long-term solution, and this study takes a big step in that direction by identifying the very real opportunities for maglev technology in the corridor — and issues that remain to be addressed,” said Tim Mauck, a county commissioner for Clear Creek County in a statement regarding the study. “As this study found, maglev technology exists and is feasible in this mountain corridor, and that is why the county and stakeholders throughout the corridor are going to continue to push for more detailed economic information so we can identify future funding sources to help pay for the best solution for Colorado.”
Grand County Commissioners and Town of Winter Park trustees as well as Winter Park Resort officials have not yet had a chance to review the study, they said when contacted this week, and so have not yet formed opinions about it.
Lack of FundING
The capital costs of the project are between $13.3 billion and $16.5 billion. No small check for CDOT, a department that has seen a shrinking budget in recent years.
Krutsinger said the department’s budget has been shrinking by 3 percent annually due to a number of reasons, though the main reason is revenue CDOT generates from taxes placed on fuel sales aren’t adjusted for inflation.
The revenue generated by the gas tax is also taking a hit as more and more vehicles on the road become more fuel-efficient.
In order to secure enough funding to advance the project, CDOT would need funding from a number of sources including the federal government and state government as well as from individual counties and private sector businesses.
“It’s so expensive, you need the ski resorts and hotel industry and all of the summer tourism industry to say it’s time has come,” Krutsinger said.
Discussions with ski resorts regarding an extra fee being placed on lift tickets to help fund the project were not favored, he said.
CDOT has other options to raise the needed funding to build the system such as a tax or fee for Colorado residents.
Once the system is up and running, ridership fees should be able to maintain the system, according to Krutsinger.
“CDOT is trying to put the options on the table and let everybody move together on what the best strategy is to move forward,” he said.
Though the feasibility of installing high speed rail is still questionable in terms of funding, CDOT has been working through ways to help alleviate traffic congestion on the highway in the short-term by planning to implement a peak period shoulder lane on eastbound I-70 from the US 40 junction to the Twin Tunnels.
The peak period shoulder lane would open during the busiest times on the road and require users to pay a fee.
CDOT is considering building more toll lanes along the I-70 mountain corridor in conjunction with the rail system. The first phase of the proposed guideway system would travel from the I-70 and C-470 intersection near Golden to the Eagle County Regional Airport with a number of stops along the way.

Just got home from my 3rd lesson and it finally feels like I'm beginning to be able to do it independently. We started off with one bucket run from the top - Adam, my teacher, holding onto the back and steering. After that we did several runs from half way, with me doing the steering and Adam holding tethers. I asked how much he was controlling my speed and he said about 80% is me and 20% is him. Well that's better than my first lesson where it was 100% the teacher and 0% me.
In this picture, you can see that I'm quite low to the ground, which helps with my balance. The first bi-ski I used, at ChillFactore, was higher and I got the feeling that I would never be able to balance in it. I like the design of this one better. It's a bit minimalist - just three straps holding my legs in place - but it's reasonably comfortable. I'd prefer a more padded seat really but you can't be too picky with borrowed equipment.
In each hand, I have an outrigger. This is rather like crutches with little skis on the end. If you squint and look very carefully, you can just see a string going from near my thumb to the pole. If I pull that string, it flips the skis into the straight position. They have little spikes on the end that I can dig into the snow to hold myself still. When I'm skiing though, I have the skis down flat and use them to push myself from one side to the other. This helps me steer.
Sit skiing has some things in common with regular skiing. Because the two skis are fixed, you're basically parallel skiing the whole time. Snowploughs are not possible. Turning is done by leaning to the side you want to turn towards. This makes each ski go onto its edge and that's when you turn. Last time, I was turning too sharply and I kept falling over. This time, I got the hang of it and by the end of the lesson, I could ski from halfway (the gentle part of the slope) on tethers. On my next lesson, Adam wants me to learn to do the top of the slope, which is steeper. And eventually, he wants me to progress onto a monoski, but I'm still not sure about that one!, 27 August 2016

Still making my move
During June and July, I took part in a BBC Get Inspired challenge called 'Make Your Move'. The aim was to become more active by getting out for a walk every day... or in my case, a roll. I did the challenge for 30 days but what then?
Well, I enjoyed being more active and sometimes pushing myself quite close to my limits but at this time of year, with all that sun and wasps, there was no way I was going to keep it up through the summer. About that time, Neil and I decided that we really must lose some weight and we found the NHS Choices diet. We're now coming to the end of week 4. I can't claim that it's a magic diet where you can eat what you want and lose 3 stone in a fortnight, but we have both lost about a stone in the last 4 weeks, partly through counting calories and being more aware of how much we eat and partly through more exercise..

Relaxing in the garden
They keep talking of another heatwave but at the moment, it's not too bad. Today has been at least partly cloudy and a reasonable temperature to sit out in my netted gazebo.
I've done my work for the day - given my wheelchair a really good wash down. Neil is still doing his task - mowing the lawn.
We've been trying to make sure we do some exercise every day. I think mowing probably counts for Neil, whereas sitting probably doesn't for me. Problem is, I've got no motivation to do anything else right now. I'm quite happy just sitting here, relaxing.

2nd adaptive skiing lesson
As I'm on leave this week, I booked another skiing lesson, but this time at Xscape, Castleford. My teacher is a chap called Adam and today we had the added benefit of a helper (one of the other teachers) called Tom. I get the feeling Tom fancies becoming an adaptive ski teacher too.
Before my lesson started, just after I'd got changed, a lady in a wheelchair came up to me and was asking about my Loopwheels. Turns out she also uses a freewheel, like me. Anyway, she started talking about sit-skiing and I told her I was about to have a lesson. Her name is Jo and she was a Paralympic skier, though she's retired now and coaches other skiers. She said to let her know next time I have a lesson and she'll come and ski too and give me some help and tips.
So, onto the lesson... I was skiing in this thing - a bi-unique sit-ski.
To start with, we did two or three runs, mostly from the top, with Adam holding onto the bar at the back. That was pretty much like what I did during that first lesson a couple of months ago.
Then he taught me how to hold and use outriggers. They are like crutches with little skis on the end. They help me to balance and turn, only turning was quite tricky. I dug the wrong side into the snow and fell over. That was quite good though. I was really frightened of falling over and hurting myself but falling didn't hurt because every part of me was strapped in and safe. At first, I wondered how I would get back up again but with Adam and/or Tom's help, it was easy enough. |

Recent advances in restoration ecology, with a focus on the Banksia woodland and the smoke germination tool (Review)
Rokich, D.P. and Dixon, K.W. (2007) Recent advances in restoration ecology, with a focus on the Banksia woodland and the smoke germination tool (Review). Australian Journal of Botany, 55 (3). pp. 375-389.
*Subscription may be required
Abstract
This paper details some of the recent research findings concerning restoration needs of the Banksia woodland in Western Australia, including the importance of, and recent advances in, smoke-technology research. Research has enabled testing of a wide spectrum of restoration technologies that enhance plant replacement at sites via treatments of the topsoil seedbank, broadcast seed and seedlings. By the use of smoke technology, which in some systems produces a 48-fold increase in the total number of germinants and a 3-fold increase in the number of species at restoration sites, improved species replacement is a very real possibility in Banksia woodland. At the same time, some commonly employed practices in restoration are a cause for concern, including the application of a herbicide widely used to control a priority Banksia-woodland weed and fire-suppressing agents used to assist fire management. These findings may have broader implications for restoration programs. |
