Legit Editorial Reviews
Dream Machine: Kentsfield + 8800GTX SLI + 680i SLI the X6800 CPU at stock speeds we were left a little flat with the overall 3D mark score of 13,326 considering a single 8800 GTX is pulling mid 10,000. Notice just how big of a leap the 8800 GTX is over the X1950XTX, the single card is less than 300 points lower than CrossFire! Overclocking the CPU however really brought the 8800 GTX's to life! These things will take every CPU MHz you can give them. A 2615 point increase just from the CPU alone.
With the CPU speed increased we see a huge gain of 1361 points in SM 2.0. The single 8800 GTX is actually faster in the SM 2.0 tests than the X1950XTX CrossFire!
In SM 3.0 the change wasn't as dramatic but a still impressive 970 point jump by increasing the CPU speed.

The Central Catholic High School boys basketball team has been looking to develop consistency, especially on the road, while Freedom is just looking to get on track after a slow start to the season.
The Vikings came up with a signature road win with a fast start and an even stronger finish to defeat the Patriots 62-42 in a Lehigh Valley Conference contest on tonight at Freedom High School.
The Patriots nearly overcame a 17-point halftime deficit with a strong third quarter to pull within 40-34 heading into the final period, but junior guard Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman scored 11 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter to help Central Catholic pull away.
"Everybody played hard and played as a team," Abdur-Rahkman said. "Rebounding was key to the game, and we came out rebounding and stuck it to them first."
The Vikings (8-2 overall, 2-2 LVC) used an early 6-0 run and later a 9-0 run to take a 22-11 lead with 7:05 remaining in the second quarter.
Central Catholic applied plenty of pressure on defense, forcing Freedom into 11 turnovers and 21.4 percent (6-for-28) shooting from the field, as it took a 32-15 lead into halftime.
It wasn't the start that the Patriots (4-5, 1-3) were looking for as they battle for position in the league.
"There's no excuse to coming out as flat as we did," coach Joe Stellato said. "Getting yourself in a hole like that, it's so difficult to come back in the game."
But the Patriots came out with better intensity and took care of the ball in the third quarter, turning the ball over just twice.
Senior forward Nyreef Jackson (14 points) and senior guard Maceo Connor (six points, seven rebounds, five assists) sparked a furious Freedom rally.
The Patriots finished the quarter on a 13-3 run, including an offensive rebound and buzzer-beating layup by senior forward Derike Chiclana, to cut the deficit to 40-34.
Freedom had all of the momentum, but missed a pair of free throws with 1:45 left in the third quarter and two more at the start of the fourth that could have drawn the game closer.
The Patriots were just 2 of 13 from the stripe in the second half, including 2-for-10 in the fourth, which allowed the Vikings to pull away.
Chiclana made a layup, but missed a chance at a 3-point play, to cut it to 45-38 with 5:08 to play. Central Catholic responded with a 9-2 run, which was capped by a three-point play by Jean Lee Baez with 2:27 remaining, to put the game out of reach at 54-40.
"You work so hard to get back into it, and then you can't make foul shots to get over the top," Stellato said. "It is disappointing that we are playing a league opponent in a must-win situation for us and we come out flat like that. It's really, really disappointing as a coach."
Central Catholic coach Dennis Csencsits spoke to his team at halftime about Freedom making a strong second half run, and was happy with how they responded.
"I was pleased with that," he said. "We showed a lot of growth as a basketball team tonight to be able to do that on the road. I thought we ran better half-court offense than we've been running (this season), and got some real quality looks at the basket."
The Vikings got 17 points from Baez, a 6-5 junior center, while Brian McCarthy and Michael Kammerer added seven points apiece.
"We talked about coming in here that this is always a tough place to play," Csencsits said. "They got a very good basketball team. I thought that we handled their runs pretty well. We keep saying that if you're going to win in this league on the road, you've got to defend and you got to rebound. I thought that we set a tone for that early in the game."

gauge is the systolic pressure. When the sound stops, the number is the diastolic pressure.
In general, a health care provider needs to take three separate abnormal blood pressure readings, done at least 1 week apart, to make a diagnosis of hypertension.
Guidelines for measuring blood pressure
Blood pressure readings can be inaccurate if the cuff does not fit properly or the patient has just exercised. In addition, some drinks can affect their blood pressure at home or use an ambulatory blood pressure monitor. In many cases, people who believe they just have white-coat hypertension also have high blood pressure at other times away from the doctor's office.

Miami Beach Police Department Sergeant Manuel Moraga has won his job back after being fired last year. An arbitrator has ruled that Moraga should get his job back along with all of his back pay. The city had fired Moraga for being “negligent” during the July 4th weekend last year, when officers under him were drinking on duty and partying with a bachelorette party. One of the officers was then involved in a crash on the beach on an ATV while riding the bride to be on it.

Talking to Dani prior to their session, she told me that she loved the unplanned moments captured in an image. I feel the same. I read a quote once by William Albert Allard in “The Photographic Essay” – “I think the best pictures are often on the edges of any situation, I don’t find photographing the situation nearly as interesting as photographing the edges.” Those moments on the “edge” are exactly what I find compelling and genuine. They come together breathing life, personality, laughter, love, and tenderness into a session.
I adore this session in part because Van, Dani and family are pretty amazing inside and out, but also because of the “edges of the situation.” They shine through so sweetly and display so beautifully<<

end of land tour
We’ve seen and done some wonderful things… all prior to boarding the ship for the cruise portion of our trip. The final day and night were spent in at The Hotel Alyeska in Girdwood, surprisingly, one of the few ski resorts in Alaska.
Upon viewing the map of ski trails, I’ve never seen so many black double-diamond runs in one place before!
The best thing I did that last day?
I flew to the top of Punchbowl Glacier, in a helicopter, to visit a team of Iditarod dogs, trainers, and mushers. These dogs belong to the Seavey family. Twenty-five year old, Dallas Seavey, was last year’s winner, the youngest person to ever win the famous race.
Right there, on the glacier, we were actually able to “mush” a team of dogs! It is on the tops of glaciers that the dogs and trainers live for about 100 days each summer to get ready for the yearly world famous sled race.
The internet connection here is spotty, at best, so I’ll leave you with this majestic image.

I want to do all these things!
How fantastic! Enjoy your cruise!
You are the luckiest women on the planet! Alaska, Wisconson, San Francisco all in one summer….and a husband and children who adore you!

As Kristie Moore's Grande Prairie rink quickly switches focus to the Canadian finals next month, organizers on the local front are already lauding the host job its committee completed for the 2013 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
Moore beat Renee Sonnenberg 8-7 in 11 ends to claim the provincial championship Sunday afternoon at the Lethbridge Curling Club, bringing to a close the five-day women's tournament.
Dave Manser, Lethbridge Curling Club general manager, said the final was the ideal way to wrap things up.
"That game really summed up the whole week," he said.
"There was amazing games, last-rock wins - nothing more you can ask for in an event. It was just great curling."
Organizers had to close the curling club down for four days prior to the event in order to prepare the ice and set up the bleachers and corporate boxes.
Manser said the amount of work that goes into hosting an tournament like the Scotties is vast - but worth it.
"It's been a long couple of years with hosting all these events, but it's great to do it," he said.
"Everybody seemed to be happy and they had a great time."
Final attendance numbers weren't immediately available on Sunday evening, but Manser said he was "pretty happy" with the turnout.

Site work on the $320 million first phase of the long-awaited project will begin early next year, and the Cardinals and co-developer Cordish Co. are seeking approval for a $100 million tax increment financing bond to be issued in March. Once that happens, construction will start in earnest, DeWitt said.
"We're moving down the path," he said. "We're committed to the project."
DeWitt acknowledged that the volatile credit market had raised some questions about Ballpark Village. But he said he was confident that bond markets will improve by March. "We remain very optimistic," he said. "If some semblance of normalcy comes to the market and the range of volatility in the bond markets, we'll be in great shape."
The Cardinals and Cordish are due to present a site plan Nov. 6 to the Missouri Downtown Economic Stimulus Authority, one of several agencies that must approve public funding for the project. They designed a new site plan after deciding to put off condominiums until phase two because of the weak housing market.
DeWitt gave a preview to the council, showing off the 20-story office building and entertainment district he hopes to build just north of Busch Stadium. The developers have lease agreements on 80 percent of the space in the first phase of Ballpark Village, contingent on March's bond sale, he said.

Buy some light-compression support socks, like people wear for varicose veins. I’m a fat guy with fat calves, and my over-the-calf dress socks would always fall down, usually because they only have a narrow band of elastic at the top that quickly stretches out. Support socks are elastic from top to bottom and are designed specifically to grip onto the leg and stay in place. You can buy ones that look just like dress socks in colors like black, blue, and brown. Even the light-compression ones grip firmly. I even asked my doctor if it’s okay to wear them when I don’t need them, and he said that not only would do no harm, it might even help my legs feel less tired if I spend a lot of time standing. Also, I’ve been wearing these for years now, and I’ve never had a pair wear out or get any holes. It’s like they’re made of Kevlar. The only problem I have with them is that I’d like some in olive green, but I can’t find any in that particular color.

Cooking with Mahia: Linguini with Fresh Tomato Anchovy Sauce Recipe
Posted on 8th of November, 2012 by Lévana
Tinkering with the Wonderful Mahia by Nahmias and Sons
This sauce has so much going for it you have no cooking to do. All aboard in a food processor, simple as that! Please note I have not listed any salt in the ingredients list, as the anchovies and capers have enough salt to season the whole dish. Tomatoes, mint, anchovies, Mahia: How can you go wrong?
This sauce is too good to be used only on pasta. Try it on grilled fish, rice and steamed vegetables as well.
Sauce:
6 large cloves garlic
A dozen plum tomatoes, halved
1 bunch flat parsley, stems and leaves (1/2 cup packed)
1 bunch mint, leaves only (1/3 cup packed)
2 cans oil-packed flat anchovies (about 1/3 cup), drained and rinsed
¼ cup capers, rinsed
3 tablespoons paprika
Good pinch red pepper flakes, a little more if you like more kick
Freshly ground pepper to taste
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup Mahia
1 pound linguini or other pasta of your choice, including gluten-free, boiled al dente and drained, ½ cup cooking liquid reserved
Instructions:
In a food processor, finely grind the garlic. Add all remaining sauce ingredients, in batches if necessary, and process until fine but not totally puréed: the sauce should retain good texture. (You might end up with a little more sauce than you need to toss in the pasta; in this case save the unused sauce for later uses, as suggested in the recipe introduction).
Toss the sauce with the pasta while still very hot. Mix in some of the reserved cooking liquid if the sauce needs a little thinning. Adjust the seasonings, and serve hot. Yields 4 main-course servings, or 8 first-course servings.

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City has announced that, as of July 1, 2012, individuals seeking to renew their visas at the embassy and consulates in Mexico no longer must attend a visa interview appointment, as long as their current visas are still valid or expired within the past 48 months. Previously, only those whose visas had expired within the past 12 months were exempt from interview.
Note that even those applicants who are exempt from interview under the new policy must still attend an appointment at the Applicant Service Center ("ASC") for biometrics and fingerprinting. Additional details and qualification requirements may be be found at the websites of the embassy and each consulate, including this link for the consulate general in Cd. Juarez.

1. Lightly stuff the sweatshirt with newspaper, and place it on a hanger.
2. Drape the tubing around the sweatshirt, hot-gluing the tubing every couple inches where it touches fabric.Hat What You Need:
1. Scoop a rounded bowl shape opening out of the bottom of the plastic foam ball. Place the cap in the hollowed-out base to test the fit. Make any needed adjustments by compressing the plastic foam with your fingertips.
2. Cover the round part of the ball with Model Magic. Make an irregular bumpy finish by pinching the compounds with your fingertips.
3. When the clay has dried, use the acrylic paint to give the meatball dark and light accents.
4. When the paint dries, fill the hollowed-out section with glue and push the top of the hat into the glue.
5. Glue tubing scraps around the base of the meatball.

I absolutely agree. I cannot stand the commercials. I don't need the 70+
channels I now have, let alone another hundred. Sheesh!
About all I watch on TV anymore is I Love Lucy, etc. on Nick@Nite - over a
bit o'dinner or while heavily into a Javascript project.
Okay, well, sometimes Jeopardy as well, but it's so full of ads, it's
unbelievable!
Even PBS is going the same route!

War & Locale: World War II -- European Theater
Date of Birth:
03-02-1927
Interviewed by:

Army

By Melissa Drosjack
As an Army entertainer, Ernie Quiroga had a very special audience during World War II – people liberated from concentration camps.
"I entertained persons that were in concentration camps and I always wondered why they were always in a daze," Quiroga said. "You couldn't tell too much, because they were in a daze."
Quiroga recalls playing his accordion, trying to aid their recovery.
"I was playing my accordion and one number that I played was a typical Mexican song -- Besame Mucho," Quiroga said. "They were still in a daze."
Survivors included Polish and Russian prisoners, he says.
"They were very silent in a stupor way," Quiroga recalled. "They had just been freed by U.S.A. troops. They were still in a trance, still recuperating from those long years in the concentration camps."
Quiroga played his accordion for the survivors in their bunkers. He recalls them being in bad shape; they’d been starved.
Quiroga was born in Dallas, Texas, on March 2, 1927, and moved several times. The family, which included six children, went from Dallas to Chicago, winding up in San Antonio, Texas, when Quiroga was of high school age. He remembers the day he was drafted: April 19, 1945.
He went to Little Rock, Ark., for basic infantry training. His records indicated he was a musician, so he was placed in a company of entertainers.
"We were all entertainers, in one way or another," Quiroga said.
Although only 18, he was shipped to Germany along with occupation services.
Quiroga says being the only Latino in 2nd Special Service Company, 3rd Army (unattached) wasn’t an issue and he was treated well.
With his accordion, he was able to travel within Germany, although he was always entertaining the troops and concentration camp survivors with the band.
"I didn't see too much, but we were always traveling," Quiroga said.
"That was during December, 1945, and I remember we were stationed in the hotel and we would open up our window and see the mountain peaks."
Quiroga was discharged in 1946 at the rank of Technician Fifth Class. He came back to the U.S. on a boat to New York, and then returned to Chicago.
Quiroga continued his musical career, attending the Chicago Musical Conservatory for two years and playing with different groups on weekends. He says he knew all the famous Latino music stars of the time.
While working in his father's printing business, Quiroga continued to do musical gigs on the side. He eventually took over the Monterey Press, Imprenta Printing shop.
Quiroga married Beatrice Larios in 1947 and the couple had four sons. Beatrice died March 29, 2000.
Quiroga says it’s important for his grandchildren and other youth "to awaken" and understand the importance of WWII and "what has transpired."
"I think our youth is interested in finding their heritage," Quiroga said.
Mr. Quiroga was interviewed in Chicago, Illinois, on August 1, 2002, by William Luna.

WVU Offers Technology to DisabledPosted by [email protected].
April 15th, 2000
More workstations on both campuses may be on the way
By SAM WILKINSON
DA
STAFF WRITER
Computers at West Virginia University are a fact of life. Almost everyone must use them, be it to type papers or get assignments online.
To aid disabled students at WVU, Carol Kann, a Technology Education doctoral candidate, coordinated an effort at the university to offer hardware, software, training and ongoing support to students in need.
“We have the technology at WVU for disabled students,” Kann said. “We just need to get the word out about the fact that these machines are here.”
The technology being implemented will help individuals with vision, hearing, mobility and speech impairments, as well as those with learning disabilities and other disabilities.
The workstations, currently at both Colson Library on the downtown campus and Allen Hall on the Evansdale Campus, feature monitors that can be raised and lowered, extra large monitors, tape recorders for spoken lessons and speakers. Scanners nearby can be used to read printed text, and text, once scanned, can then be enlarged, edited and highlighted.
One of the most powerful capabilities of the workstations, besides the physical capabilities of the workstations themselves, is the software.
Nine different software programs are on the machines.
JAWS is a screen reading software package for the blind. Kurzweil 1000 is a text scanning program that converts words in print into speech. Kurzweil 3000 is a reading system that helps improve the reading speed and comprehension of individuals with learning and reading difficulties. ZoomText Xtra helps individuals with vision impairments. Naturally Speaking Professional is a voice recognition program.
Co-Writer helps users create correct and complete sentences. Write:OutLoud is a speaking word processor. Inspiration is a visual learning tool. Microsoft Office and Corel Suite feature both grammar correction and font enlargement.
Students who wish to use the facilities should contact the Academic Computing staff. The staff will work with individuals to establish the best possible software for usage.
The project began in June of 1998.
“It’s taken time to purchase the equipment. We just got these in the last few weeks,” Kann said in Allen Hall, gesturing towards the shining new stations.
Currently at Allen Hall, there are three new computers and a fourth is on the way. At Colson, there is one new computer. There are also plans in the works to expand the availability of workstations to Wise, Evansdale and the Health Sciences Library.
“This is a really positive thing for the University,” Kann said. “We have these computers in accessible buildings and it will help our students.”

Drum on the Romney’s Continued Willingness to Lie about His Tax Plan
Kevin Drum: Lies, Damn Lies, and Mitt Romney’s Tax Plan.
We all struggle trying to explain why Mitt Romney’s tax plan is….inconsistent with reality. Here’s another crack at unpacking the basics behind the famous TPC study that originally made this point. It’s actually pretty simple:
[snip basic arithmetic] reasonable assumptions under which his plan can work, and he obviously knows it. But he keeps saying it anyway. If that’s not a lie, what is?
I’m not sure I see any way around the “L” word here. It’s a knowing falsehood, spoken with the hope of deceiving. shcb? You’ve been pretty limber in the past at construing things I call “lies” as being some other sort of thing notquiteactuallyalie. Is there a better word for what Romney’s doing here?
October 12th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
.” – Matt Taibbi

October 13th, 2012 at 9:58 am
It’s easy to explain, Drum is lying. No surprise there. “Harvey Rosen gave it a shot, but succeeded only by assuming wildly implausible growth estimates.” I just read Rosen’s report, he is assuming 3% growth rates, not wildly Implausible.
Liberals, as usual, are using a basically static model, the TPC report does have some dynamics built into it but assumes people “people work the same amount, save the same amount, and invest the same amount,” whatever the tax rate, according to Rosen. Another item pointed out by the Weekly Standard is “it assumes tax reform must pay for repealing Obamacare’s tax hikes, rather than assuming that the repeal of Obamacare’s spending will pay for repealing the tax hikes.”
Drum says “But wait! What about the economic growth this will unleash? That’s mostly mythical” really? Mythical? It worked when JFK and Reagan tried it, was that mythical?
October 13th, 2012 at 10:54 am
Actually, I’d consider it extremely surprising if Drum is lying. I’ve been reading all his public blog posts for some time now (averaging several posts a day since at least 2003), and he’s always struck me as extraordinarily honest. I’ve never seen him post about something where I actually feel like I have a good grasp already of what he’s talking about without feeling like yeah, he did a really honest job of summing up that issue.
During that same time I’ve pretty regularly seen you say things that I’m reasonably certain are, if not knowingly dishonest, at least ill-informed and wrong to the point of negligence.
So, if I’ve got a situation where Drum says one thing (“Rosen made implausible growth assumptions”) and you say another (“Rosen is assuming 3% growth rates, not wildly implausible”), I think Drum’s credibility outweighs yours by a substantial amount.
Also, this gets back to the whole notion of relevant expertise that we’ve discussed before. You reading Rosen’s paper does not qualify you as an expert on whether Rosen’s assumptions are plausible. Think about the standards employed at Wikipedia: It isn’t enough that you, shcb, find Rosen’s assumptions plausible. The question is, are there people with relevant expertise in the field of economics and tax policy who find Rosen’s assumptions plausible? Drum is not only saying that Rosen is bonkers because he (Drum) thinks he is. He also is willing to cite others, including others with relevant expertise, who go into detail about why Rosen’s argument is bonkers. See for example this article by Josh Barro:
Barro makes some specific criticisms of Rosen’s paper. What do you think of those criticisms? Are you willing to engage with them in an intellectually honest way? Are you willing to find public writings by people with recognized expertise who articulate the positions you hold about why Barro is wrong and Rosen is right, and give us those sources so we can investigate for ourselves?
You’re correct in one sense, at least: It is easy to explain this by asserting that Drum is lying. It’s super easy. I would offer that in fact, it’s the ease of that explanation that makes it so appealing to you. It’s way, way easier to believe that you are correct, and someone who disagrees with you is wrong, and just go cherrypick some evidence that seems to support that, than it is to actually try to reach an objective, informed, quasi-judicial judgement.
But here’s the thing: The easy approach also makes it easy to be, and remain, wrong. I believe that’s what you’re doing here.
October 13th, 2012 at 8:34 pm
Drum is lying, or at least to the degree it is considered lying here. If drum says (as he did) that the the rate of growth would have to be at an implausible rate versus the rate of growth would have to be at the implausible rate of 3% a rational person would say the first statement is at least deceptive. Here that seems to be good enough to be called a lie.
Read Rosen’s paper, it’s only 17 pages, you’ve probably read 3 times that reading other people’s critiques.
There are enough variables in Rosen’s paper (justifiable variables) that if you are talking to an uninformed audience you can turn it around any way you want, but Drum lied, it doesn’t matter how much of a man crush you have on him
I read the Barro piece, but alas I’m not qualified to comment on it, I would offer experts to rebut Barro, but I’m not qualified to understand what they have to say either. I wish I were qualified to understand what I read in the Rosen paper but since I don’t have a degree in economics I’m not. It is a good thing Drum’s journalism degree makes him qualified to comment on economics. I wonder how professor Rosen teaches his students since they don’t yet have economics degrees, without that degree they aren’t qualified to understand any papers written by Rosen, that’s gotta be tough. I wonder how Rosen got his degree since once upon a time he wasn’t qualified to understand economics or papers written on the subject even though he was only days away from earning a degree.
October 13th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
You say you have always found Drum credible and yet you won’t read a 17 page paper to see if the author was using a 3% growth rate. Exactly what did you do to establish Drum’s credibility?
October 14th, 2012 at 7:25 am
I answered that question above: I established Drum’s credibility by reading his copious online output for the last 9 years. And while I didn’t read the whole thing closely, I did at least dip into the Rosen paper.
But it’s important to recognize that reading Rosen’s paper is insufficient to evaluate its claims. Of COURSE the paper itself is going to sound internally self-consistent, and for someone without relevant expertise who looks only at the paper itself (especially someone motivated to find it credible, by virtue of his identification with Team Romney) it’s going to seem compelling. That’s the whole point of the paper: To make its argument appear to be internally self-consistent and compelling.
It reminds me of a profile I read of Whitfield Diffie in Wired back when that magazine was cool. (In 1994, I just discovered, after googling up the article.) Diffie is walking through a security products tradeshow with the Wired reporter:
“At another booth he is offered a chance to try out an encryption-equipped walkie-talkie. ‘Presumably, we’ll discover it works just fine,” says Diffie, refusing the demo.’”
If you really want to buy a particular type of car, walking onto the showroom floor and asking a salesman to explain its features is not a particularly good way to evaluate buying it. It’s the same thing with economic arguments. I guess you could make the case that reading Rosen’s paper is more like taking the car for an actual test drive, which probably is something you should do at some point before buying. But if you’re not also test-driving other cars for comparison, you’re still not being a very smart consumer.
And yeah, reading the reviews written by people with a vested interest in nudging your choice this way or that (like, reading car magazines that are going to shill for whichever car manufacturer is buying their back cover ad) is perilous, too. Which is why it’s important to identify people whom you believe have intelligence and integrity, and whose opinions you’ve evaluated over time to get a sense of their relative authority.
October 14th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Just reading someone doesn’t establish credibility, have you periodically, independently verified his facts or assertions? Now Drum isn’t any more qualified to offer his opinion than you or I about anything but journalism according to the required qualifications you’ve stated for me so why would you find him credible for anything but journalism? That is all he has a degree in. for that matter do we even know he read Rosen’s paper? Or has he just taken the word of someone that wrote about someone that wrote about someone that read it, like you just did?
The issue here is simply is Drum lying, is seems all Drum has done is read Rosen’s paper, or read what someone else said about it. If you haven’t studied it yourself aren’t you doing the same thing with Drum’s assessment of the paper?
You want me to provide a list of experts that agree with Rosen, what would that prove? If we can’t understand the paper enough to see if he based his analysis on 3% growth then how are we going to know that we can trust others on either side? I’ve never understood this mentality that I can’t do it myself, only someone better than me can do it, how do you ever get better yourself with that attitude?
Rosen seems to believe the most important factor in determining if the Romney plan is viable is if tax rates are kept at the Bush rates or revert back to Clinton rates, since, quite sensibly the more efficient way of promoting an increase of economic growth is the lowering of taxes and the lower the starting point the more effective the program will be. It isn’t much of a savings if the store raises process of the product 10% the day before it lowers them 8%.
He uses 3% because the Diamond study used 5%, so Rosen figures that if the 2012 law is replaced with the 2013 law the 3% will offset some of those gains, pretty conservative in my estimation. Here’s one of his footnotes
Okay, I’m not an economist, I was warned, and indeed I only vaguely understand what he is talking about. But, I sure feel he is more credible than Drum. Rosen has stuck his neck out, he has offered his sources, someone can look it up and call his bluff it that is what it is. Drum just said the rate of growth was unreasonable but didn’t say how or why. He just hopes we don’t ask those questions, and why should we? He’s Drum, and quite credible, he’s been writing for years.
But back to Drum’s assertion that Rosen needs unreasonable growth to justify Romney’s plan (the lie) it sure seems .25 where others have suggested the number should be almost twice that or maybe even 4 times is not unreasonable by any stretch of the imagination.
So show me in Rosen’s paper where he is using unrealistic growth to validate his conclusion, or show me where Drum has shown Rosen to use unrealistic growth in anything more than an unsubstantiated assertion.
At some point you are going to have to realize your man crush has been sleeping around behind your back and lying about it.
October 14th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
See, this kind of response is why I don’t find you credible. You’re playing a game here, pretending to be addressing the issue, but actually just trying to score points that you think are clever. It’s boring, because for someone who isn’t as emotionally invested as you are in your being correct, it’s obvious what you’re doing.
October 14th, 2012 at 3:46 pm
I’m addressing the issue it just isn’t an issue you are comfortable with because it might cause you to have to rethink a relationship you have had with Drum for 9 years. You said Romney is lying about his plan, you are basing this on an analysis of Drum, I am saying his analysis is wrong and have given my reasons. In this case my point is fairly well defined, is Rosen overestimating growth. If I am right it shows Drum is lying, or he didn’t bother to read a fairly short report before he made some pretty harsh criticisms. Either doesn’t bode well for someone you quote on a regular basis.
I’m not being cute other than to add a little levity for the sake of levity. Enkidu misquotes me, you constantly bring up this idea that if a person doesn’t have a degree in a subject they aren’t qualified to analyze it (except it doesn’t seem to apply to you or anyone that agrees with you), you want to talk about games! Those are the games you guys play, and it sucks.
You don’t want to play games? Fine, tell me where Rosen is over estimating growth, as Drum is asserting, call Drum, ask him, see what his response is, dime to a dollar he has none. Drum made the statement, I think he is wrong, prove me wrong. Short, non boring, prove me wrong.
October 14th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
:-)
October 14th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Why? What’s in it for me to attempt to “prove you wrong”? Especially given your evident unwillingness to ever subject yourself to falsifiability?
Actually, set that aside. Let’s pretend you actually were willing to subject your beliefs to being falsified by evidence I might be able to accumulate and present to you. Why should I bother to do that? How do I benefit from the expenditure of effort required to have a chance of changing your mind?
October 14th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
You’re absolutely correct, there is nothing for you to gain by taking on my challenge. If I’m right and Drum is lying you loose respect for someone you have respected for almost a decade. If I’m wrong Drum has done nothing to increase his standing and I’m pretty low on your respect list to start with so dropping me much more than a notch or two is all that is possible.
I routinely do these little tests on both the people I agree with and those I disagree with, I don’t know a better way to weed out undesirables on either side. It is just part of due diligence. I saw how hard it was for you with the Gleick incident, you’re better off not knowing.
October 14th, 2012 at 9:04 pm
Heh. It’s still a game, but that move wasn’t bad. Well played, sir!
October 15th, 2012 at 5:18 am
Of course it’s a game, everything in life is a game. Marriage, war, raising children, business, politics, they are all games, with games played inside those games. Some are just more important than others. Our little game is about as important as two old friends playing checkers down by the lake, but even those can get heated and seem the most important game in the world in the moment. To be continued I’m sure…
October 15th, 2012 at 9:49 am
Just to point out the facts again, shcb… but I usually quote you verbatim, provide the link and just point and laugh (it’s a hobby).
I read the bloomburg piece when it came out, then the MJ piece when jbc linked to it. So Rmoney’s big tax bamboozle keeps citing these “6 studies” (not use of quotes, it is an exact quote, not a paraphrase, often denoting a ‘loose’ interpretation of the source material). Those six ‘studies’ are:
1) a blog post from the AEI (a right wing ‘think’ tank)
2) a blog post
3) WSJournal op ed
4) a blog post
5) a thin paper from the the Heritage Foundation (a right wing ‘think’ tank)
6) yet another blog post (which actually turns out to be the most substantial treatment of the issues and claims)
Forgive me for seeming cynical and posting this on a blog, but are we really sure US tax policy ‘studies’ should be this paper thin and transparently partisan? Most analysis says Rmoney’s tax plan is a pig in a poke. Smart shoppers aren’t buying their mystery meat. The math just doesn’t add up without taxamagical growth fairy pixie dust. It hasn’t worked in the past and sure isn’t going to work now.
They’ll blow up the New Deal and explode the deficit at the same time. Maybe that war in Iran will be treated as some sort of super-duper-stimulus. Hey, catching a bullet for the homeland is a job ya know.
Here let’s just listen to Mitt in his own words:
The Rmoney Plan: Say Anything (the gullible and the malinformed will lap it up)
October 15th, 2012 at 10:03 am
When even Chris Wallace is calling this bullshit, you have to start to wonder…
October 15th, 2012 at 10:25 am
Are you saying Romney is citing these 6 blog posts/studies on some official Romney web site? US tax policy will be decided in congress not a blog, but really what is the difference if a qualified person gives his opinion in a blog or a more formal paper? At this point anyway. I mean you are basing your opinion on a Mother Jones piece, right? Isn’t that a left wing blog/magazine? Doesn’t mean they are wrong does it?
October 15th, 2012 at 11:55 am
As another wag put it: Mitt Romney has a secret plan to end the deficit!
Do we, really need to roll the tape of the Romney campaign using this exact phrase? Really? Would you, say, believe they used the phrase if, say, the vice presidential candidate says it? Would that be a spokesperson that could possibly change your mind? No.
As usual your sequencing is wrong (at least for me) I read the Bloomberg piece before the Mother Jones blog post. I am fully aware that MJ has a agenda and they are proud to say so (unlike, say, fox ‘news’, which I linked to up above btw)
jbc, you know the way this ends don’t you Charlie Brown?
Let me know if you need me to find that video of the Romney/Ryan campaign talking about those Six Very Serious Studies! only some of which we paid for…
in the mean time enjoy these videos
har har har!
October 15th, 2012 at 7:59 pm
Since you read the Bloomberg article I assume you followed the links in it and read all the documents it is criticizing.
October 16th, 2012 at 5:41 am
I wonder why Barro didn’t state what economic growth rate Brill used to turn Romney’s plan from a deficit to a surplus was, and where that information came from, in case you missed it:
I also wonder why the links on the Bloomberg site just go back to a Bloomberg site, not to the original documents, probably just my tablet.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:49 am
I read most of the links, at least the bits that weren’t behind the paywall
Sounds like you skipped the TPC ‘study’
Bottom line, iirc, to make Rmoney’s 20% cut for everyone work, you have to remove all deductions from everyone making over $100,000. All. Think that is going to happen? Not on your life.
magical confidence fairy makes tax cuts pay for themselves!
malarkey
If tax cuts pay for themselves why did bush double the US debt (yes yes, almost)
Obama came in with a real deficit of around $1.4 Trillion (once we got the two off-the-books wars in the budget, etc [*note, that is a pretty big etc, remember 2008? hmmm?]) The budget deficit is down to less than $1.1 Trillion. Gov growth under Obama is slower than almost every President of the modern era. Gov jobs are down, not up. Down. Up is not flat, down is not taxamagical. 2+2≠ purple
Most analysis finds the Rmoney tax plan to be full of candy, but no spinach. Just ask Chris Wallace, or is he in the tank for Obama as well?
October 16th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Yes I’ve read the TPS report (little Office Space humor) and no, most economists don’t think it is hokum, most left wing pundits and economists think it is hokum because they are using static models. As Brill points out static really only works for small changes to tax law, it really doesn’t work there either, but the difference between static and dynamic are so small it doesn’t make much difference. But when you are talking about a major change as we are here static just doesn’t work. Professor Rosen reminds us in his paper of Phil Gramm asking the Joint Committee on Taxation to produce an estimate of the revenue consequences of a 100% tax on income. The JCT said there would be a huge increase in revenue because they figured people would continue to work without pay… okay.
October 19th, 2012 at 11:47 pm
As far as the subject of the article goes, to me it seems prima facie that Romney lies about most everything, because that’s his role. (Obama doesn’t strike me as any better unfortunately.) @jcb, to save me the nine years of work, do you have any examples on tap where Drum actually made an economic prediction, with specifics, such as “if bill X passes by April then by December the unemployment rate will be no more than Y unless we have unrelated problem Z over in Japan” …or, somesuch specific future-thing. shcb is theorizing that Drum is a journalist, who reports on stuff, but doesn’t really know econ (i.e. the theory thereof), and you are saying that Drum seems to be pretty darn smart and honest. But to my mind, if he’s good on econ, he ought to be reporting testable predictions.
Off-topic somwhat: shcb and jcb and anybody else that cares to jump in, what sort of policy *does* lead to more-rapid economic growth? You may stipulate other conditions if needed, e.g. that our policy must be tuned to be competitive relative to the policies in other countries, or that the size of the workforce must exceed the size of the kids & retirees & unemployed (or fall within some kind of parameters or whatever). Point being….
Most of the people who are repubs say that the way to solve the 20 trillion in debt we’re gonna have in 2016 is to cut spending and boost growth, from the 1.5% we’ve seen the past three years to more like 3% assumed here. Most of the people who are repubs say to also cut spending (but they pick different places) while raising taxes — Obama mainly targets the wealthy with his oh-so-classy style of class warfare based on nebulous fairness-is-what-I-say-it-is dogma, but other dems are less divisive and say we need to raise taxes in general, usually with an eye to keeping the tax-structure progressive-slash-liberal and to reducing corporate loopholes and such. The banter between jcb and shcb pretty much blows past what I think is the key question: how *do* we get from 2% up to 4% annual growth? Drum says it’s impossible (or at least — impossible under the Mitt plan). Rosen asserts it’s easy (or at least — easy under some specific assumptions).
But please note that I’m *not* trying to reopen the discussion of Rosen/Drum/Barro, or even Romney/Obama. That’s been covered, above. I’m trying to ask what *is* the sort of policies that folks here consider likely to work, if the goal is boosting economic growth (which tends to be, but is not always, also a decrease in unemployment). Feel free to cite your favorite econ authorities, or not, as you wish.

The last time I was here, we looked at how to use your Linkedin data to create a stunning visual resume with Re.Vu.
If you tried the service and found it wasn’t for you, here’s a few more nifty websites that also do a great job of displaying your resume.
1. Visualize.Me
Visualize.Me handles many of the functions I raved about when reviewing Re.Vu, and handles them very well.
The layout is simple yet very effective, with room for your work experience, skills and education, plus options to include languages spoken, recommendations and more. Pulling a page together takes no more than a few clicks, and where Visualize.Me triumphs over Re.Vu is in the ability to further customize fonts and colours.
Despite all that, the overall results aren’t quite as appealing to the eye as other sites, though as a good alternative to those sites, Visualize.Me is certainly the number one contender.
2. ResumUP
Another site offering to take your data from other services and make pretty pictures from it, ResumUP initially eschews Linkedin in favour of Facebook and Twitter. This is great if your data is available for the world to see on Facebook (more of which later), but if you’ve opted for privacy, this appears to be of little use.
Logging in for the first time presents you with a heavily-customizable resume that is quite overwhelming. Whereas other services place simplicity at their core, ResumUp has so much going on at once that it can be off-putting.
Sure, the infographs it creates are arguably the most attractive of any service we’ve looked at, but combined, they create a resume which seems far too busy to really be effective.
3. About.Me
About.Me may not be able to do anything fancy with social networking data, but that’s actually one its strengths.
Here, you only really need two things; a nice background image and some brief text. Put the two together with the site’s easy-to-use layout tools and what you’re left with is a great-looking profile which really grabs the attention. Most of that attention is immediately drawn to the background image, which unquestionably takes pride of place here. On the downside, this means that, unlike other sites who do the visual stuff for you, the onus on making your page stand out is all on you.
The site does have its own gallery of backgrounds that do look fantastic on any page, though using one of the ready-made backgrounds limits the opportunity to create a page that’s personal to you.
About.Me’s other main selling point is the stats it produces, providing you with a detailed background of how your page views, referrers and search terms people used to find you. Useful stuff that could well help you improve your page with a bit of search engine optimisation.
4. Facebook
More commonly known as the realm of embarrassing photographs and updates on the trivialities of every day life, Facebook’s new Timeline does provide a great opportunity to display your resume.
The ‘Life Event’ option can be used for inputting your work history, ‘Places’ for countries visited or areas of the world you’ve worked in and not to mention photos for a visual display of your proudest achievements. But if you’d rather keep your Facebook profile a private affair, why not consider creating your own Facebook page and making it another tool in your personal brand.
After all, what better platform to sell your skills than on one of the most popular websites in the world?
Conclusion
Whether its through one of the sites above or not, the opportunities to get creative with your online resume are abundant. Find what works for you and may your resume bring you much success — however you chose to create it.

New York Life Insurance Company has picked Troy Glover to succeed Michael Gallo as the senior vice president in charge of the company's long-term care insurance (LTCI) operations.
Glover will be based in the unit's headquarts in Austin, Texas. He will report to Paul Pasteris, the chief administration officer for the New York Life insurance group, the company said.
Gallo, who took over as head of the unit in April 2009, will stay in Austin for a transition period. He later will return to the New York Life home office in New York, "where he will work on key initiatives for the insurance group," the company said.
Glover has a bachelor's degree from Brandeis University and a master's degree in business from Cornell University.
He started out working at Merrill Lynch and Prudential, then began to work as a director in the New York Life variable products service center in 2000. He has been chief operating officer at the LTCI unit since 2009.
Chris Blunt, president of the New York Life insurance group, noted in a statement that Glover has substantial experience with LTCI.
"Addressing long-term care risk is vital to comprehensive retirement planning and we remain committed to serving the growing needs Americans have in this area," Blunt said.
The man Glover is succeeding, Gallo, was a senior vice president for retirement income before he moved over to the LTCI unit.
In January, New York Life announced a realignment of its operations that shifted the LTCI unit into the insurance group. The LTCI unit had been tied in with the retirement income unit. The company said it was putting most of the retirement income operations and New York Life Investments in an investment group unit.

INTRODUCTION
In Douglas Adam`s book, So Long and Thanks For All the Fish, all the dolphins of the world leave for a different planet or dimension. Today, many New Agers believe that dolphins may in truth be a much evolved life form who have transcended the present era of technology. But conjectures apart, dolphins are one of the most intelligent species on earth. And they have a healing power that often surpasses understanding.

What is a rheumatologist and what kind of training does a rheumatologist have?A rheumatologist is an internist or pediatrician who also has training and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and other diseases of the joints, muscles and bones. Rheumatologists treat arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases, musculoskeletal pain disorders and osteoporosis. Many rheumatologists also conduct research to find more accurate diagnosis of and better remedies for the conditions they treat. After four years of medical school and three years of training in either internal medicine or pediatrics, rheumatologists devote an additional 2-3 years in specialized rheumatology training. Most rheumatologists who plan to treat patients choose to become board certified either by the American Board of Internal Medicine or the American Board of Pediatrics.What conditions does a rheumatologist treat.

BANGALORE (Reuters) - Drug developer Depomed Inc said it will recall 52 lots of its diabetes drug Glumetza due to the presence of traces of a certain chemical in the tablet's 500 mg bottle.
The recall followed an investigation of a single product complaint of a smell and taste consistent with the chemical, the company said in a regulatory filing.
The chemical compound, 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA), can cause temporary, non-serious gastrointestinal upset when present in amounts detectable by smell, the company said.
The recall does not impact the 1,000 mg formulation, which currently constitutes about 40 percent of total Glumetza net product sales, Depomed said.
This is the second such TBA-related drug recall this year, after Johnson & Johnson recalled more than 53 million bottles of over-the-counter products on complaints of "an unusual odor" in January. The company came under sharp criticism from U.S. health regulators.
Depomed said the presence of TBA may have been resulted from the breakdown of a chemical sometimes applied to wood in pallets previously used to transport Glumetza product bottles to its contract manufacturer in Puerto Rico.
The company said it suspended product shipments of 500 mg Glumetza to its customers pending further investigation and was in discussion with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the recall.
It expects to resume shipments in four to eight weeks. The recall is currently being carried out at the wholesaler level, the?

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - For people with troubling cases of fibromyalgia, a combination of behavioral counseling and exercise therapy tailored to their specific needs may bring some symptom relief, a new study suggests.
Fibromyalgia is a syndrome marked by widespread aches and pains -- including discomfort at specific "tender points" in the body -- along with symptoms such as fatigue and sleep problems. It is estimated to affect up to 5 million U.S. adults, most commonly middle-aged women.
The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, and the condition can prove difficult to treat. Standard treatments include painkillers, antidepressants, cognitive-behavioral therapy and exercise therapy.
Recent studies have suggested that combinations of these therapies seem to work better than any treatment alone. A review of nine clinical trials, for example, found that at least in the shorter term, fibromyalgia patients treated with multiple therapies got more relief from pain, depression and fatigue than those given a single therapy.
A number of studies have examined the combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exercise, and found that it can be effective. However, those studies have also shown there to be "room for improvement," according to Saskia van Koulil, of Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center in the Netherlands.
So van Koulil and her colleagues decided to test a "tailored" approach to CBT and exercise, the researcher told Reuters Health by email.
The study focused on so-called high-risk fibromyalgia patients -- those whose symptoms were causing a significant amount of distress, based on screening questionnaires looking at anxiety and depression symptoms.
The researchers separated the patients into two groups based on their usual manner of dealing with their pain: those who avoided any activities they feared would worsen their pain; and those who kept up various activities despite their pain.
Patients in both groups were randomly assigned to either undergo 16 sessions of CBT-plus-exercise therapy or go on a wait-list for treatment.
In general, CBT aims to help people recognize thought patterns and emotional responses that contribute to their symptoms, and give them practical ways to change their behavior. For patients in this study who typically sought to avoid pain, the CBT sessions were designed to help them deal with their fear of pain and set goals for boosting their daily activities.
For patients who typically tried to push through their pain, the CBT encouraged them to set more realistic goals and pace their daily activities to avoid overdoing it.
All patients had an exercise session with a physical therapist following each CBT session.
Overall, the researchers found that immediately after the treatment period, and six months later, both therapy groups were doing better than their counterparts on the waiting list.
At the six-month mark, two-thirds of treated patients had "clinically significant" improvements in at least some measure of physical well- being -- pain, fatigue or disability -- versus one-third of wait-list patients.
Similarly, 62 percent had improvements in anxiety or depression symptoms, compared with 33 percent of the wait-list group.
"Clinically significant" meant that patients had noticeable changes in their daily lives, van Koulil explained. People with improvements in functional disability, for example, said they were better able to walk, climb stairs and do household chores.
Van Koulil said that this appears to be the first study to test such a tailored approach to CBT and exercise therapy for fibromyalgia.
A key limitation of the study is that it did not include a group that received standard CBT plus exercise. More studies are needed, the researchers say, to see whether the tailored approach is any more or less effective than standard treatment.
And while standard CBT and exercise therapy are generally available options for people with fibromyalgia, that is not true of the tailored therapy -- though, van Koulil said, based on the results of this study, it is now available at several medical centers in the Netherlands.

which color is the furthest back on the right?
What is the diameter size of the mount itself? The light that I am purchasing fits a 3" post so I just want to make sure I'm getting the right pier mount.
Does this mount come with the mounting hardware? (Like the brass nuts that hold it down and the brass side screws that hold the lamp on).
What is the hole size in the center for the wires to come through

Soap / Lotion Dispenser from the Signature Collection 2 2
It's looks are deceiving-not as sturdy as it seems I purchased my first dispenser a couple of years ago and LOVED it. It is in the most used bathroom in the house and eventually the pump broke. Not a really big issue..... it gets used a lot. I hoped to purchase just a new lid/pump to replace but it's not an option so I purchased a new one. It arrived broken, the metal ring the lid screws onto had come detached from the porcelin jar. I tried to use just he lid/pump on the original jar but it seemed too small, so DH got some heavy duty cement and fixed the new jar...... now the jar was small and went through the ring on the wall! so we replaced the original ring with the one that came with the new jar.... the jar set lower in the ring than the first, but seemed ok..... this was 3 days ago and last night a guest pressed the pressed the pump, the whole jar went flying through the ring onto the floor, soap everywhere and the jar is cracked... I think I'll try another brand this time! I have gotten lot of compliments on my dispenser and I love how it matches perfectly.... but I don't have the trust to try another after seeing another post with a similar problem! August 7, 2011
BUYER BEWARE: DO NOT BUY THIS DISPENSER ! ! ! I've bought 2 and both were defective. They sat in the boxes until construction was completes but once installed, one didn't work and the other broke the first time it was used. Since the warranty period had expired, I had no recourse even though they were both new. Save yourself the frustration and money; pick another soap dispenser! August 18, 2008

I am so happy with my order. I was very skeptical of ordering a dress online without trying it on, but it fits absolutely perfectly! I ordered a size 16, and I am very excited to say that nothing was wrong, and I even have a little wiggle room. ;-) It shipped very quickly, and like I said, I couldn't be happier. I will definitely shop at LitB again!

The following commentary has been adapted from entries originally posted to The Overhead Wire Weblog on 10 September 2007 and
the Daily Kos on 11 September 2007.
The US Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has issued an extremely ominous and potentially retrogressive Notice of Proposed Rule-Making (NPRM) for the New and Small Starts programs.
These programs provide the basic new-starts funding for major fixed-guideway
capital projects such as light rail transit (LRT), rail rapid transit (RRT, or "heavy rail"), and so-called bus rapid transit (BRT).

Rails to roads?
The proposed new rules are alarming on a number of levels.
Most notably, they downgrade the importance of land use and economic
development despite congressional direction to the contrary, and they propose to
redefine the definition of "fixed-guideway" to include transit funding for
highway lanes that use tolling schemes – thus diverting rail transit money into roadway (tollway) development.
Why is this important?
To some extent, the FTA's proposed new rules would entrench policy positions
advocated by notorious motor vehicle zealots and transit critics – folks
such as the libertarian Reason Foundation and the Randal O'Toole/Wendell Cox cabal.
The proposed rules ignore current transportation law regarding required project
justification criteria and add new Federal intervention into the local decision-making process.
"If finalized, the new rule-making policy will hamper American cities' ability to build new transit lines for the next 5 years!
However, the fiscal year 2008 appropriations bill moving through congress is an
opportunity to formally weigh in and stop or alter the proposed FTA rule.
In a recent development, Senators Christopher Dodd and Richard Shelby have
proposed an amendment to kill the FTA's new rules.
Transit advocates may wish to communicate their views on this issue to their
own Senators on the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development
Subcommittee, which can be accessed at the following webpage:
UPDATE: Light Rail Now has been informed that the Dodd-Shelby amendment was passed
and has been added to the appropriations bill.
However, President George W. Bush is threatening to veto this legislation.
It's currently unknown whether there are sufficient votes in the US Senate to override such a veto.
More details on the new rule-making
The full text of the FTA's proposed rule can be found at the following URL:
Here are details on what the FTA's new rules would do:
1. FTA would allow High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes to qualify for New Starts funding
This would diminish the ability of cities to get funding from an already crowded grant program.
HOT lanes qualify for funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) ... and we all know there's a lot of funding there.
Over 300 New Starts projects – light rail transit (LRT), rail rapid transit, regional
passenger rail ("commuter rail"), bus rapid transit – were authorized by the
SAFETEA-LU federal transportation bill, and the argument by the FTA as to why
they have such an intensive scrutiny of proposals is based mainly on the high demand for limited funding.
Adding High Occupancy Toll freeway lanes to the list of eligible projects further
strains the FTA's ability to fund new transit projects.
[Graphic of HOT lane: Washington State DOT]
2. FTA would make the dreadful (and misnamed) cost-effectiveness index (CEI)
the primary factor in deciding the fate of funding for New Starts projects
This "index" is the same measure that is killing top-quality rail projects, such as the Tyson's Corner Metro extension (Washington, DC area) and has killed, or set back, light rail plans in Columbus, Ohio, Raleigh. NC, and elsewhere.
Almost every city that is looking to build new transit projects is worried about qualifying under this seriously flawed measure, and now it's being made even stronger.
This measure is the reason why Minneapolis's Central Corridor light rail project might not be able to
tunnel under the University of Minnesota, and why locally backed expansion of light rail has been turned into less effective BRT projects in some Houston corridors.
3. FTA Kansas City (which runs on city streets),
and not rail or fixed-guideway BRT projects such as Los Angeles's Orange Line busway.
4. FTA reduces or ignores the importance of land use and economic
development measures
Congress elevated land use and added economic development as project
justification criteria in SAFETEA-LU (the current federal transit authorization). problems and questionable aspects.
The fact that they use those models to determine the "cost-effectiveness" rating – which decides who gets funding – is a problem in itself, as this
rating index can't address all the benefits of fixed-guideway transit.
Furthermore, FTA argues that it's too difficult to separate land use from
economic development, and that the increase in property values associated with
proximity to transit is merely a result of improved time savings alone.
We're sure many zoning offices and developers would be surprised to have these effects categorized so simplistically.
5. FTA's new policy could lower ratings for cities who are trying to address future rather than current congestion issues
The FTA would like to measure the New Starts program by the benefits to
highway users, but ignores the effect of induced demand, which
means that, when you build a new transit project, the space from cars that are
taken off the road by transit is filled by new cars.
The aim of transit opponents – to push money from the transit program into congestion pricing schemes
and not-so-rapid bus projects – would result in less useful transit projects
in corridors that might have real future need.
What can be done?
Transit advocates and other proponents of improved public transportation might
consider contacting their congressmen or senators, to request them to stop the
FTA's proposed rule and give the Department of Transportation a clear directive that the FTA must:.

It’s the first night of school and my tenth graders already have homework… lots of it. My daughter, once she got home–at 7:30–from a school volleyball game, estimated she had three hours of homework to do. Her twin brother, home at 5:00–he does debate-was just finishing up his homework at eight. Their teachers told them to expect 30 minutes to an hour a night of homework per class. Neither of them is taking any AP classes–this is the workload for the average tenth grader at their school.
I’m not going to write about the many conflicting studies about the efficacy of homework. Nor am I going to discuss the troubling tradeoffs that kids make to do well in our competitive high schools. (I will confess to having seen and being moved by Race to Nowhere, a compelling movie about the rat race that is high school for many American students.) No, today I am asking a question: Why can’t high school teachers assign homework a week at a time?
My daughter’s math teacher, a stellar teacher she had last year, gives the kids their assignments for the coming week each Friday. My son’s Latin teacher does the same thing. It’s such a gift to the students in their classes. Kids can organize, plan, and arrange their work. This skill set, interestingly enough, is often cited as a justification for homework. Many believe that homework teaches kids to be responsible, to work independently, and to learn how to manage their time. If those are benefits of homework, surely giving kids a week to plan would additionally sharpen those skills.
I have talked to many teachers and students about this option. Students universally think this is a great idea. Teachers, those who choose to assign homework daily, say that doing so makes it more likely that they assign the right work at the right time. I hear them–and I have the deepest respect for educators–but I think the benefits for students of teachers assigning work a week at time outweigh this concern.
What do you think? Should we ask high school teachers to be more like college professors and move more toward a weekly syllabus? Do you have high school kids with too much homework? Too little? Or, and if this is the case I envy you, just the right amount?
I have a really hard time with our current public education system. I feel it benefits teachers far more than students, which is utterly ridiculous and counter productive.
I, for one, would like to see a syllabus such as I received in college. That would enable everyone to know where they should be at at any given time.
It would allow the student to plan for large assignments accordingly. It would help parents know what was happening and how they should be helping.
What I often see instead is disorganization, last minute planning by educators, inconsistency in the district as a whole (with one 10th grade teacher right on schedule and another two chapters behind with yet a third “improvising” and exhausted students who have to scramble to figure out what the hay is going on.
The only solution I can think of is start hiring college professors to teach at the HS level. They keep office hours, work through the summer – and most importantly know how to plan a semester at a time!
It is more difficult for high school teachers to stick to a syllabus than it is for a college professor. A professor just keeps moving along, not caring whether the students are “getting it.”
A good high school teacher is constantly adjusting their pace. It may end up taking more time than they planned to teach a difficult concept based on the ability level of the class. This is the same reason that different teachers of the same subject might be progressing at different speeds.
As for large assignments, I suspect that many students know about these assignments long before their parents do. The parents usually become involved when the students hit panic mode, realizing that a paper assigned a month ago is due the next day and they haven’t started yet. As a high school librarian, I see that all the time.
Many teachers now post assignments on the school’s web pages and parents who are interested in keeping up should ask if the teacher has a web page.
As for the comment about office hours and working in the summer. I met several times this summer with a teacher who was preparing to teach a new class and wanted my suggestions on her research assignments. And many teachers in my building are willing to meet with students after school – if you can get the kids to show up.
After teaching middle school for 3 years, I also have a hard time with the state of public education. I would argue, however, that is not teachers who benefit from the current system but administrators, central office, and politicians. The district provided a curriculum, lesson plans, tests, and pacing guide to keep teachers on track. I could plan out the entire year if I wanted and would have loved to do that but several things got in the way.
1. No Child Left Behind and the Almighty AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress): Each school has its own goals according to NCLB and woe be unto you if your school fails to meet them. If you work in a failing school (which I did), you have to meet extremely rigorous requirements with an inordinate amount of paperwork. It’s just a fact of life if you’re a teacher so I’m not complaining about that. However, it was not uncommon for administration or central office to send us several different forms to fill out or data analysis to run on a weekly basis…sometimes several times a week in an attempt to prove to the state and the feds that we were doing the best for the kids. Many times these forms and data analysis necessitated a complete change of lesson plans (some times in the middle of the week). It wasn’t because I had written my lesson plans incorrectly but that they wanted to me to include something else in them.
2. New teaching strategies: As a part of profession development (and to prove to the state/feds that we’re doing our best for the kids), every week we were given some new strategy to teach kids because it was the latest and greatest thing that would magically fix our students (I get mad every time I think about this b/c there is no magic band aid. Hard work, time, persistence, encouragement and practice are what’s needed. Yes, there are strategies that are helpful but not the way it was often presented in meetings). Those new strategies were required to be in my lesson plans or I faced professional consequences. This often required changing lesson plans, moving around content to different days or even moving/changing assignments to meet the new requirements…even if it wasn’t the beginning of the week.
3. ratio of SPED and ESL students: Classes with a larger percentage of SPED and ESL students move at a slower pace because the material has to be broken down to a level that the students can be successful. I’m not saying the students aren’t bright or capable but sometimes it takes more time if there is language barrier or a learning disability. That’s not something you can plan out because you never know what students will comprehend immediately or not.
4.Student absence: Because I taught social studies (not math or reading which are tested for AYP), students were often pulled out of my class to get extra practice for these exams…sometimes with little to no warning. What was I supposed to do if over half of my class was gone? Move on and leave the rest behind? If they’re struggling in math and reading, then they sure aren’t doing well in social studies or science which both require reading and math skills. Needless to say, I often had to reteach lessons which put me behind. How are students supposed to do homework on something that they didn’t even learn that day?
5. Homework: I worked in a district that required that all students do homework but you couldn’t give them a grade, force them to turn it in, or do anything punitive if they did not turn it in. Talk about extremely frustrating. Homework in my classroom consisted of 2 things: reviewing notes/vocabulary and finishing class assignments/project that were not completed in class. I do not advocate for a large homework load. 15 to 20 min per class max. Excessive amounts of homework do nothing but make students tired and uninterested in learning. Most nights, my students were to review vocab or notes; that takes 10 to 15 min. On the nights they had to complete an assignment/project, then I would expect that to take a little longer.
I normally posted assignments and projects online (most school districts have some type of online program) for all students and parents to check. Projects normally had a 2 to 3 week completion time where students know the due date from the beginning since it’s on the assignment, posted in my room, and posted online. At that point, it was the students’ and parents’ responsibility to monitor assignments/due dates and to plan accordingly.
Did I mention that I worked for a district who had a policy that students could turn in any assignment (and I couldn’t mark off for lateness) until the next to the last day of school? Guess when most of my 120-150 students turned in assignments/long-term projects? That policy wasn’t for my benefit as a teacher; it kept the parents, administrators, and central office happy. The students didn’t learn anything about planning ahead or time management.
I could provide so many more stories about problems with the system and homework but I’ll spare you
I think that many teachers would love the luxury of providing a syllabus or even assignments a week or two at a time, but it’s often out of their control.
Delia,
Your experience certainly sounds like a horror story. Most especially the part about having to implement new teaching strategies. What’s unfortunate is that much research has been done on this and most shows that sticking with a single basic strategy is what works the best. How unfortunate your school didn’t believe in it.
I can understand your frustration at having students pulled out of the classroom to catch up on other work. Back in the old days we could do that at home but these days, with so much homework, that is simply impossible. That is one reason why I am so against heavy homework loads. It gives no time to students who are behind to catch up or for students who need extra study time to achieve it. They are already so overloaded they can’t squeeze out extra time.
When I went to college I was terrified. It turned out to be the best learning experience of my life. I went from someone who hated school to someone who rushed to class. When I switched my son to a university based high school he became a much better student as well. There are probably lots of reasons for this but one of them is the fact that you are given the work and the opportunity to learn it at your pace. There are no surprises, no time wasters (like building a castle with cardboard and tin foil which took us hours during fourth grade). Because the teachers teach from the book there is no missing information – it is there, in a solid form for whenever you need it.
I’m not sure what my school was preparing me for but it certainly never resembled college.
I am glad I had the option to send my son to a school that was more university based. I feel like it has better prepared him for a university and for learning in the real world environment.
Our public school system is plagued with so many problems. I don’t think there are easy solutions. I just know that what we are doing doesn’t work.
maggie b.
I would be very interested to know how countries with successful and improving school systems handle homework. I know that in many places, students have longer school years which allows teachers to spread out the learning over more days. Logically, it would seem to me that this would result in less homework on a nightly basis for students as well as more time to complete major projects. I know that extending the school year is a huge hot button issue for teachers and politicians, but it sure seems like one solution that might be in the best interest of stressed out and overloaded kids.
Having just watched my ninth grader spend 2.5 hours on a math assignment, I’d have to agree with Dabney. Though I looked at the homework, which WAS planned out ahead of time; the same paper listed the next several assignments. Still, it seemed like an awful lot of problems to me. About half as many would have made sense to. I still remember all I learned in 3rd or 4th grade about the 13 colonies because we made costumes, put on skits and had fun with.
Jennie: I think the point maggie b was making about time waster projects has more to do with projects that don’t have any reason or curriculum tie in than doing something that is actually relevant to class. There is nothing more frustrating in school (esp. middle and high school) to be given an assignment that really has no purpose but to keep you busy. I loathed those types of projects as a student.
I would agree that projects are important especially ones that use multiple learning modalities (sight, hearing, touch, etc) and learning intelligences (kinetic, visual/spatial, mathematical/logical, verbal/linguistic, etc). The more parts of your brain you use, the better you remember. I assigned projects with every unit because I think they teach important academic and life skills. However, any project that is assigned needs to meet curriculum standards and further a student’s learning process. Sure it’s great that a student can build a castle and maybe even name parts of it, but that’s not really what’s significant. Can the student articulate the 7 W’s: who, what, when, where, why, w’how, and w’significance? (Yes, I know the last 2 sound silly but it helps my students remember to include them.) That’s what a child should take out of every project or assignment. If an assignment/project can’t do that, then it’s waste of time. That’s just my two cents worth
Thanks Dalia, I didn’t know they have kids doing projects that weren’t relevant to a course lesson.
I don’t remember that we ever made a castle or did projects not related to our studies. Why would they even do that? I know that’s a rhetorical question. lol If they were doing something from that time period it might be ok.
I am always surprised when chatting with younger people (most everyone now is younger) They are constantly saying they never knew that, or they don’t believe it. I ask what the heck were you doing in school, sleeping? Things I learned in grammar school they don’t know today. Recently I was talking to a young man of 21 that moved in across the street and he can’t read. I’m astounded. He can make out enough for simple things and he tries to sound out the words. It’s heart wrenching. I have no idea how to help him learn to read.
While doing some genealogy I was reading some newspaper articles from 1913 and confess that they used words in the articles I have never even heard in my life and had to look up. I have an extensive vocabulary thanks to my mother and a good public school education. But those old papers showed me that our ancestors had even better educations. So it has just slowly gone down hill.
I don’t blame the teachers as there are few that are truly bad. I blame what was posted above about the government taking over and making all these silly rules and standards and tests. It started some time ago when the government decided that too many districts and states had schools doing poorly from lack of funds. So the made the states turn over tax money to them and said they would redistribute the wealth so the poorer schools would have more money. You know the rest of the story. lol
Nobody really knows what Google is thinking. We get a few hints every now and then from people like Matt Cutts but other than that it is all pure speculation.
Paula I have two more questions. I started a generic shopping blog focused on a wide variety of niches. My first question is when you said…”When you start seeing sales for one of your product reviews, only then should you start writing another product review.” should I only focus on that 1st product review? and the second question is can I use some of the same content from one of the other reviews for another review of a similar product? i.e. The “What to Look for” Section for elliptical trainers.

ATM Machine Toy
ATM Machine Bank: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?
Money, money, money — do kids like playing bank? The invention of plastic cell phones and mini laptops were somewhat expected, but the Summit ATM ($30) caught me by surprise. Tots can play drive–through, only instead of just sitting pretty, this box of plastic is actually a working bank. Kids can store their dollars and coins while the machine keeps tabs of the amount.
Are you all for teaching youngsters about money or do you think an ATM machine seems a tad extravagant?

I had a wonderful day at Porters Paints' Furniture Painting Course last Saturday with the talented Polly Dale. She has an impressive resume and is an extremely talented woman. She studied at the famous Isabel O’Neil Studio Workshop in New York then perfected her techniques at the exclusive Van der Kelen Institute of Superior Painting in Brussels. Polly was very generous with her knowledge and I appreciate her insights. When I told my mum that I was doing a painting course she said "well it's a bit late for that!" but I really enjoyed my day painting especially as I hadn't had a solid block of time to paint all school holidays and I did pick up some pointers from Polly, so it was all worthwhile. Porters run courses every month so if you are keen to learn or improve your furniture painting it is a good option.
Porters Paints are well known in Australia for their beautiful range of waterbased paints and speciality finishes. I decided to use their Milk Paint on the bedsides I bought for the class. They were plain pine bedsides, very well made and in fabulous condition but that honey gold pine colour that I dislike so much.
From Porter's website: Porter.
The milk paint was a bit tricky to paint with at first. You have to mix it from powder with water, and stir and stir and stir...rest it, then strain it through muslin, more stirring and then finally you are ready to paint. You also can't go over your brush strokes so you have to think carefully how you are going to paint. On these tables I used the beautiful Porter's limeproof undercoat, 2 coats of milk paint, lots and lots of sanding and then Porters Wax. The bedsides have the most beautiful smooth finish I've ever seen. They gleam like glass. I have lightly distressed them for a beautiful country shabby chic look.
The drawers are dovetailed and on runners.
Despite how fabulous these look next to our bed, these are for sale as a pair.
If you are interested please leave a comment or email me.
cheers
Fiona
They look great Fiona, love the ginger jars.
Nice to see some distressing there LOL.
Sandy xx
Ha ha Sandy -these are YOUR ginger jars! i unwrapped them for the photo. I was going to mention it in the post but forgot to. knew you'd like them. glad.
re the distressing you should have seen Polly trying to get me to distress , I would do a tiny bit and say "enough?" and she'd say "more, double more", hilarious.
i'm very pleased how these have turned out.
have a good day
cheers Fiona
They look great Fiona...I have had a sack of white milk paint for months now but have only played with it on some trays so far. It is a pain to mix up, but I know the smooth finish you mean. Perhaps I will have to organise a trip to Sydney to go and do their course, I'd love to try some of their acrylics, the colours look stunning!
xx Karen
hi Karen. thanks. if you do come to sydney for the course come and stay with me. would be fun. Porters acrylics are divine also. i have quite a few tins.
cheers Fiona
aww thanks Fiona, what a sweet offer! What is your favourite colour in the Porters acrylics?
they look so pretty! lovely job!

Did you have to sand these before you primed? I've heard that chalk paint there's no sanding required. I've been meaning to try milk paint because it's environmentally friendly - is it cost effective?
hi Lilian, yes I very lightly sanded before priming. I sand everything ever so slightly. because I sell my furniture I never skip steps as I would hate for one of my clients to have a problem down the track with their piece. Milk Paint is very expensive in Australia. A bag of it is $47.50 and that would cover 4 bedside tables in 2 coats. I used half a bag on these. Does that help?
cheers Fiona

The Pen and Muse:
With a cast of strong characters, Townsend will blow you away with To Touch the Knight. Townsend’s historical romance is down right delicious read because it not only encompasses romance, it tells us what 1391 during the plague was like and how there was those who sought to exploit others during the time. Knight Sir Ranulf of Frendenwyke doesn’t like what’s happening around him, but there is little he can do. It’s all about how both Edith and Ranulf interact with each other and if Edith will feel safe telling him her true story about being a princess, after all her people come first before anything else. The passion and interaction is electric between the two, those who love historical, medieval romance are sure to like this wonderful story during a time that was not as beautiful.
Red Roses for Authors:. This book completely deserves its five red roses.…
Romance Junkies:
Each with their own secret to hide, the black death at their door and lives at stake; the reader will find themselves taken back to a time when clearly the nobles were anything but, and those who are willing to sacrifice everything for the poor, are few and far between. You will fall in love with the sensuous, but sweet interactions between Sir Ranulf and the mysterious princess as their story takes us on a journey through one of the most horrific times in history. A definite must read...
Joyfully Reviewed:
To Touch The Knight is a finely woven tale that has more than one intrigue you don’t expect in a historical. Ms. Townsend is able to bring forth a happy ending to a group of people who were horrifically affected by the plague. I was so intrigued by the plot in To Touch The Knight I was unable to put it down until I finished the last page. If you want a little different historical romance then I Joyfully Recommend To Touch The Knight.
All About Romance:
The whole “heroine masquerading as someone else” plot device has been done to death, oftentimes in such a silly manner that it is impossible to take the story seriously. Edith’s deceit, though, worked for me because a) there was a real element of danger involved, and c) she does an excellent job of remaining in character. Edith hatches this plan as a way to ensure that she and the villagers live a reasonably comfortable life in the face of being virtually ousted from their fief. And though Edith may lapse at times, like forgetting her gloves, she is always aware of her position and the grave consequences of discovery. All of this illustrates Edith’s intelligence and resourcefulness as the reader learns how and why the idea for the masquerade comes to her.
The overall feel of the novel was very authentic for me. The Middle Ages were brutal, difficult times and the author does not shy away from that. The specter of the Black Death looms ever present, to the point that it almost feels like another character. The characters have witnessed the devastation it has wrought over the land and are terrified of its power, particularly Edith. Her brother Gregory died of the pestilence after they escaped confinement in the church. Though deceased, his presence haunts Edith throughout the story in the form of her conscience. This, as well as her openly agnostic beliefs, adds an interesting dimension to her character.
Ranulf also hears the voice of his late wife Olwen in his thoughts, however, in sharp contrast to Edith, he has retained his traditional belief system. I found the contrast in their beliefs unusual, but welcome, territory for the author to explore and I give kudos to her for each character maintaining their stance throughout the novel. Edith does not suddenly resolve her doubts and anger with the discovery of true love, though Ranulf makes great strides in easing her troubles. For me this helped to make her a believable character and I appreciated that she maintained her independent way of thinking.
... Minor criticisms aside, I would recommend To Touch the Knight to lovers of medieval stories, especially those with fascinating, well-characterized heroines.
Romantic Times:
Compelling characters and suspenseful moments will keep readers well entertained, but the dark motifs and plague plotline may be too somber for some.

MagazineArt.org is a trove of magazine covers and advertising illustration from the decades around the turn of the 20th Century.
Though a number of names of illustrators from that era have become familiar, many many more are still obscure, rarely featured or highlighted. The illustrations in the MagazineArt.org archives are heavy on the latter, light on the former.
If you dig, you can find some gems by artists like Maxfield Parrish (above, second down) Coles Phillips (4th down) and others.
The real draw here, though, is the unknown artists, both good and wonderfully cheesy. There is a search feature, but discoveries are best made by browsing.
You can start off in galleries sorted by topic (note the numbered links at bottom to subsequent pages) and drill down into individual titles.
Don’t be hasty to pass up categories that might not be of interest to you as a reader. Some of the best illustrations are in women’s magazines and weekly titles like Collier’s; some of the most fun are in the science magazines and pulps.
Thanks a whole bunch, Charley! There went the rest of my week…
They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore, do they? What a treasure trove you’ve found for us! You really ought to get a public service award (with cash attached, of course)!
Those were the days; Mc.Call’s Magazine 1905 – Fifty Cents a Year.
5 Cents a Copy.
As a small kid I adored Norman Rockwell (Saturday Evening Post).
Please, don’t miss the Rockwell files:
Charley, thanx for the link. Now, if someone could launch a site featuring large scans of pre-WWII posters, particularly travel posters…
@Valentino: Great idea! Have you thought about doing it…yourself?
That’s what happened to me a few years ago. I asked a similar question, the one about all those magazine covers that nobody ever saw any more, and realized nobody else was going to do it.
It doesn’t even need to cost any money; it will take a little bit of your time, though.
You will definitely be surprised and pleased to find out how many other people will share your interest.
-magscanner
Beautiful illustrations dug up here, feels like I’m back in 1895 again, ah, the good ‘ol days. Especially liked the name drop of Collier :)

If you would like to edit this page please first view our Editing Guidelines.
In this article we will be discussing ways in preparing your computer for Linux. While this article is focused on laptops, most of the information presented will be useful for desktop computers as well.
While installing Linux we will be modifying the partition table on your hard drive. Unless you don't care about the contents of your hard drive, it is highly recommended that you create a backup of your system before proceeding any further.
Please also make note that most laptops don't come with recovery CDs anymore, rather they have a hidden partition on your hard drive to store this data. However most manufacturers provide you a utility to create the CDs required, so you may also like to make use of this. Warning: You will likely see this hidden partition when you use a partitioning tool. I would highly recommend you leave it totally alone unless you know what you are doing.
There are two ways of installing Linux on your laptop, either as a dual boot system with Microsoft Windows or a standalone system with just Linux. If you choose the later then you may continue to step 3 as all that is required is to wipe the hard drive clean.
If you have chosen a dual boot system (as you want to use both Microsoft Windows and Linux) then you will need to prepare your hard drive to hold both. Since most laptops come with Microsoft Windows pre-installed, it is normal for the entire space on your hard drive to already be allocated to Windows.
First, decide how much space you would like to allocate to each operating system. I would recommend leaving a minimum of 10GB for both. Since most Windows installations supplied with modern laptops are using the NTFS filesystem which Linux can not write to, you may also like to consider leaving room for a small FAT32 partition. FAT32 is the only file system both Windows and Linux can easily read and write to, so a small partition may be useful in transferring files from Windows to Linux and back.
Next you will need to purchase or download an application which is capable of resize a NTFS partition. The most popular one is Partition Magic but I like to use BootIt NG. How to use these utilities is out of scope for this document, but you should resize the NTFS partition to the size you want and create the FAT32 partition if you would like one. Don't create any Linux partitions just yet, let the Linux installer do that.
Many laptops will not boot from the optical drive by default so you will need to find how to get your laptop to boot from it. You should read your laptop's manual for this information but you normally need to push either the ESC, F1, F10 or F12 key when you turn on the system. Insert your installation CD/DVD into your optical drive, press the correct key to bring up the boot menu and select the optical drive. You should now be booting from the Linux installation CD.
You should now be ready to install Linux. You may like to read our installation guides for details on how to install a number of different Linux distributions.

As of yesterday afternoon (almost evening) the Circuit City store in Poughkeepsie, NY (store number 3197) had several in stock, call 914-297-5082 ask for Jeff. Cost was $99 plus NY sales tax. He is relatively clueless about what I-Openers are, however he is somewhat knowlegable as to how to discover whats in the back inventory of CC. My suggestion is you not delay long as it is possible by the time you read this others will have as well, some possibly interested in the unopened I-Openers themselves.
If it helps, I visited this store 3 prior times, and each time the sales and front desk staff assured me they had none in stock, only when I found someone who had a clue as to what was really in the back (a manager) did I get a positive. My strong suggestion is for you to visit managers of local stores during off hours and inquire politely (as I suggest you if you do call be polite to Jeff).
Happy shopping!

HI,
Im trying to get my D-link DE-220P ethernet card working with linux
while still functional with windows.
I can set it to PnP mode or Non PnP mode where i set it irq , i/o etc.
With PnP mode its set up irq = 5 i/o = 240
Then i put it into non pnp mode ( so linux can use also)
under the same settings irq = 5 i/o = 240
Then i reboot into windows i have no network card at all and now my sound
card which was at irc = 9 i/o =E800-E83F
now goes onto irq = 5
so no network card is found at all.
I cannot change irq of sound card.
I now decide to change irc of NIC
to irq = 9 i/o = 240
But it tell me i canot do this.
Damn.
There are no irqs availible.
All taken up by other devices...
Anyone know how i can set the card to irq=5 i/o = 240 while when i reboot
sound card is still at irq= 9
???
This is really annoying.. i have even got a 3com card from a friend but it
turns out this 3com card is busted :(
Any help with this would be excellent.....
Even some way of getting te card in PnP mode working with linux.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Hmmm, your kernel was build on May 21st, but how old is your codebase, 2.4.2
predates this by a while. There are a number of NFS related fixes to XFS
in later kernels. The most recent 2.4.5 patches are here:
patch-2.4.5-bdev-ioctl - fixes initial ram disk creation
patch-2.4.5-xfs-1.0.1-core - core kernel changes
patch-2.4.5-xfs-1.0.1-kdb - kdb debugger
patch-xfs-1.0.1-only - xfs itself
Or the cvs tree is also available, just about to go up to 2.4.6-pre6

I've been going through my collection of games lately, and realized that I have Tribes 2, and Descent 3 for Linux. Those can also be hosted by me.
I also have a copy of Shogo:MAD for Win32 which I believe will work with the Linux version accross the internet. I'll do some more checking, but if that works out then I can host that as well. Eventually I want to own Rune, Rune: Halls of Valhalla, SiN, and as well the Linux copy of Shogo:MAD.
As it currently stands, I have challenged Babbing to a game of Tetris Attack on Monday from 8:00-10:00PM. EST. I'll let everyone know how that goes.
After this I think I'm going to host a game that requires as little resources as possible. To be a small deathmatch level probably. I'm thinking either Quake III, or Unreal Tournament (Classic).

"If. If you have followed any of my posts on jaysonbroughton.com, I use a 3-factor authentication with OpenVPN (user name, certificate & One-Time-Password). But if I want to check on one of my servers from the house via my Android, or a computer where I don't have administrative rights (required of my custom portable OpenVPN client), or even tunnel vnc over ssh to fix a problem on my better half's Linux laptop.
So as always, time to dispense with the necessities. I use Debian in a virtual environment so your results may vary. In this case I am using OpenSSH_5.3p1 as a Server and a mix of OpenSSH 5.X ssh clients with my examples. Before I get too far into tunneling I'll say this: If you feel the need to use SSH tunneling via http or reverse SSH tunnels to bypass your corporate firewall make sure you are not violating any of your companies Internet Acceptable Use Policy. This goes without saying, your System Administrators will hunt you down and fry you when they find that you're bypassing the content filter or setting a reverse tunnel in order to tunnel back into a server at work. As a System Administrator myself, I take immense pleasure in locating such individuals. At the very least check with your Network/System Administrator so they are not caught off-guard. LinuxJournal.com and myself are not liable for your blatant violations of your corporate policy :-) With that said, let's have some fun shall we?
Creating an SSH tunnel is actually quite easy. Figuring out what to do with it once you have learned how to create a tunnel might be slightly more difficult. So I'll give you a few use cases to get your mind churning before we get into the details of creating a tunnel. I used to travel quite a bit before kids and with a previous IT job. When I traveled I would end up in the strangest of hotel rooms (you know the kind) with even stranger wireless access points. Do you really want to connect to a wireless access point where the SSID of the hotel is missspelled? Or the airport where there appears to be quite a few open WAP's? When I'm out and about I will tunnel my http traffic through ssh on my rooted droid to my home server. If I'm on my laptop/netbook I'll open an ssh tunnel and route http traffic via socks5 so that all of my traffic is encrypted via ssh then back out to me. I wouldn't trust an open WAP as far as I can throw it. What about anything else in plain text? I've tunneled SMTP traffic on my computer back to the house when certain places I've been block outbound SMTP. Same thing goes with pop3 (of which I've recently changed over to imap-s). Other examples of ssh tunneling include X11 applications tunneled via SSH, and VNC sessions. One of the things I brought up earlier is reverse tunneling, which is..well you got it, the reverse of tunneling. In this case you create a tunnel from a server that is behind a firewall with no SSH servers to an SSH server. Then when you log into that SSH server you can re-establish the connection. What good is that you say? Well if your corporate VPN is down, or requires Windows only VPN clients but you really don't want to lug your laptop home to check on a process running when you get home you can reverse tunnel. In this case you would establish a connection from server X to your home machine. Once you arrived at the house you would re-establish the connection to server X, thus bypassing the firewall/VPN and checking on the process without having to establish a VPN connection. I do this very rarely as I feel this is bad juju, bypassing all the rules setup on my firewall and VPN is usually a last resort.
So there are your examples for SSH tunneling, now let's show you how to get 'er done.
Before we get too carried away on the client side of things there are a few
things that need to be edited on the server-side of sshd.config. in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config I tend to make the following changes. Before you get too
carried away, make a copy of /etc/ssh/sshd_config origional file so you have a
reference in case something goes horribly wrong.
cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.orig
# Force SSH Protocol 2 Protocol 2 #Turn on Privileged Separation for security UsePrivilegeSeparation yes #Deny root login PermitRootLogin no #Do not allow empty passwords PermitEmptyPasswords no # Forward my X Sessions X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 # I hate Motd displays PrintMotd no # It's alliivee TCPKeepAlive yes
Don't forget if you do make any changes to your sshd_config file, you need to restart your sshd service in order to make the necessary changes.
All right, lets get into switches. No no, not the switches your 'pa made you pull off the tree branch when you broke ma's favorite vase, SSH switches.
A typical SSH tunnel (without tunneling X) looks like this:
ssh -N -p 22 [email protected] -L 2110:localhost:110
Where:
- -N
- = Do not execute a remote command
- -p 22
- = External SSH port 22. I tend to use other external SSH ports to keep skript kiddies from hitting my home SSH server
- [email protected]
- = username@hostname(or ip address)
- -L 2110/localhost/110
- = Bind information. Broken down as such: client-port:hostname:hostport - In this example your binding POP3 on the server to your localhost port 2110
So how about some examples?
Forward pop3 and smtp through SSH:
ssh -N -p 2022 [email protected] -L 2110:localhost:110 -L 2025:localhost:25
Forward google Talk through SSH:
(-g Allows remote hosts to connect to local forwarding ports)
ssh -g -p 2022 -N [email protected] 5223:talk.google.com:5223
Basically anything that is sent in plain-text can be secured via SSH tunneling. Once you have established the tunnel, on the client-side you would configure your settings for the hostname as localhost and the port as your 'client-port', be it 2110,2020,5223, or any other port that you have selected to forward through.
Encrypt your HTTP Traffic
This is another one that goes without saying. If you work for a company that has an 'IT Acceptable Use Policy' check before you do this. This is one that I use whenever I'm out of town or in a place that I don't trust the wifi. On an android I'll use my SSHTunnel app, but if I'm on my laptop I use the following SSH command
ssh -D 5222 [email protected] -N
After you make a connection, then set your browser of choice (or any application that allows proxy) to localhost:5222. This will create a dynamic port forward and tunnel all the application traffic through your SSH server, both encrypting your data and bypassing content filters.
Tunneling X and VNC Sessions
Remember when you added 'X11Forwarding yes' to your sshd_config? This is where tunneling X comes in.
ssh -X -p 2022 [email protected]
You guessed it, -X tunnels X. Remember though, this will tunnel X apps from your remote machine to your client machine running Linux. If you somehow find you're on a Microsoft Windows machine and want to tunnel, just install Cygwin/X () on your guest OS. I haven't personally tried this but from what I understand it gives you an X windowing system that should allow you to run your remote X apps in Windows.
When it comes to tunneling VNC sessions, you have to be careful. If the client you're tunneling from has a vnc server running on say 5900, make sure you don't decide to put your local forwarding port at 5900 or you will just connect right back to yourself. Connecting via VNC is as straight forward as any of the other services:
ssh -p 2022 [email protected] -L 5900:localhost:5900
In this example your connecting to ssh external port 2022 as user bob to mylinuxserver.com. Your local forwarding port is 5900, the port you want to forward is mylinxuserver.com's 5900 vnc. Once you setup the forward you can open up your vnc client of choice and type: localhost:0 at which point you should be connected via vnc to your remote desktop. If you used 5901, then it would be localhost:1, and so on and so forth.
Reverse SSH Tunnels
Oh yes it's time for my favorite part of SSH tunneling. Sure, getting access to a service from behind SSH is nice, so is tunneling your web traffic through encrypted SSH tunnels. But the real surprise comes when you can reverse the tunnel. As I've outlined earlier, a reverse tunnel is when you are behind a firewall that has no SSH server, but need to access it at a later date (be it minutes/hours/days later) but don't want or have the ability to VPN in. You would connect to your SSH server from that machine, then reverse the tunnel by connecting to that open connection..
So the steps to create a reverse SSH tunnel are as follows:
- From client machine:
ssh -R remoteport:localhost:22 username@servername
ex:
ssh -R 2048:localhost:22 [email protected]
- From server side (to re-establish the tunnel):
ssh -p 2048 localhost
And there you have it, a reverse tunnel. Yay!
For you visual learners out there, daddoo and nerdboy4200 from #linuxjournal got together and whipped up a message sequence chart using mscgen (). Yes it's opensource, and really awesome. I tried my hand at creating the mscgen chart for this article but what daddoo and nerdboy did in just a few short hours put my little image to shame.
Conclusion
An there you have it, a primer to SSH tunneling. Keep in mind that this was just a primer, what you can do with tunneling is limited only by your imagination. Later on I'll go over setting up ssh_config on the client side so that all of these settings that I have described above can be saved as individual settings on your client-side ssh.

File System Question

File System Question
Since the demise of Hans Reiser, I am wondering if Reiserfs is going to stay the default on Slackware. It has been a while since I did a full install, and can't remember if it changed or not.
Reiserfs is what I have been using, but is there another option that is faster or more reliable? I don't know too much about file systems, but hope we can open up an interesting debate. I am a home user, and I don't RAID or anything else.

At the moment ext3 is the Slackware default. I've been running that on one machine with SW 12 (a while ago) and found it too slow...
Now I use JFS and am quite happy with it. It's fast and I've had some hardware problems where JFS showed it was very reliable.

If you want supreme compatibility with userland tools, then ext3 is your best bet. Most people should probably stick with ext3. If you want increased speed, JFS and XFS are both good (I think XFS is a little better in some aspects, but they're both pretty good, and either one will offer a speed increase over ext3). See
here
for various benchmarking tests for the common filesystems. If you use JFS or XFS, you will probably never run into compatibility or feature problems -- but their userland tools are *technically* less featured, in case you're super-worried.

I myself prefer JFS. I have had been curious about XFS, but the aspect of a delayed write-to / arbitrary write down of information has kept me away. As far as ReiserFS is concerned, there haven't been any announcements from Pat that he will remove the FS, nor anything from kernel.org that would suggest that they would also remove it, however ReiserFS v4 is still not officially included in either Slackware or the kernel code itself, and at this point I don't think v4 will ever be included inside the kernel sources.
At this point, I don't see ReiserFS ever going away, and perhaps sooner or later the only thing that might change is the name itself, but even that remains to be seen. Also, I think even Pat uses ReiserFS for his / partition. Just read the README.initrd.

It all boils down to what you need. I use xfs on my / and /home partitions. I just find it very snappy and less prone to lag I notice with ext3. I have used JFS and find it just as snappy and uses less CPU(possibly good for laptop/older hardware). But ext3 is very very stable. I have two storage/backup drives with ext3. I use ext3 on those drives for one reason, stability. I can pretty much use ext3 in any OS(usually need to download some program but it is possible). reiserfs is fantastic with small files, and most people deal with those type of files. So that is one advantage to reiserfs. JFS and XFS only use metadata journaling so that is something to look into. As a home user you have a higher potential for blackouts/power-failure and all that kind of good stuff. So do a little research and you will find what is best for you. I say say ext3 is probably your best bet as of now, and ext4 will probably be it there after. JFS is basically no longer maintained(with the exclusion of bugfixes). XFS seems to be maintained but I am unsure of its standing. ext3 and ext4 have a good and solid backing from many companies(redhat to list one), so If I was looking for something in the long term ext3 is it for me.
This is mostly how I "feel" about filesystems currently. Other people may be able to give better insight.

Reiser's not dead yet.
XFS and JFS are better than ext3/ext4 and probably better than reiserfs in many situations, although it depends. I use JFS.
If you want some benchmarks to help you decide:

Does it really make that much of a difference for a home machine? I've always used ext3 and haven't had any problems with it being slow or anything.

This general question (about the properties of filesystems, rather than about the status of Hans Reiser) has been asked several times before.
Be aware that in benchmarking filesystems the answer that you get is heavily dependant on what question you ask. There is not one filesystem that is universally better than the others, but there probably is a best for a particular application (but the best for your application can easily be different from the best in the benchmarking scenario and i probably can't tell you what is the best for your application without knowing lots about it).
Also note that there can, depending on workload, be substantial differences in performance depending exact selection of options and, as the options aren't directly transferrable from on fs to another, it is difficult to know what exactly constitutes a fair/level playing field test of filesystems.
You could describe this as 'horses for courses'.
I did some testing some years ago on boot up times and found Reiser to be faster than ext2, presumably due to the 'small file optimisations'. I was very surprised by this and selected Reiser as my personal default and have not had reason to change. Reiser 4 would be nice, though, as its faster although whether it will be widely available is now questionable (and was questionable, even before Hans Reiser's local difficulties). I'd guess I'm now likely to change to ext4, when that becomes stable and widely available (and assuming that Reiser goes in to 'maintenance mode' rather than 'development mode'), but I haven't yet tried that.

Very sage.
I had some awful experiences when I first tried reiser3 (many) years ago. Never touched it since, although (as with everything) it's gotten better.
I use ext? exclusively - but note my sigline; no fs can be trusted not to corrupt your data.
Currently just starting on a sojourn into OpenSolaris - ZFS being one of the major reasons.
Linus has proclaimed his fiat on
that
(under Linux).

Great, there's a lot of JFS user in slackware just as me

I use ext3, find it excellent whenever there is a power outage or whatever. I wouldn't worry about things like JFS or XFS, unless you are running production / commercial level servers, in which case there MAY be some reason to go with something other than ext3. I dare say, ext3 is a journalling file system of sorts, for most people it will be perfect.

I agree that I don't think Reiserfs is going away any time soon.
If you are happy with ext3 then by all means keep using it. If you don't need the journaling them ext2 would probably even be better for you.
JFS is nice for many older machines as it is conservative on CPU usage. XFS, from what I hear, does really well with large files and large file systems.
H_TeXMeX_H
06-12-2008 03:19 PM
I think the older and crappier your computer is the more your filesystem DOES matter. On my old laptop using JFS makes a huge difference on CPU usage especially. JFS has very low CPU usage for file manipulation compared to other filesystems. This is very good for laptops, and especially old ones. Many say that XFS can be tweaked to be much better than pretty much any other filesystem, but it can be less reliable because of the way it extensively caches things in RAM.
You should at least try the other filesystems. I've tried ext3, reiserfs, XFS, and JFS. I've found that the benchmarks are quite accurate, XFS and JFS were noticeably faster for me. And since JFS uses less CPU time, that's the best one for me. Try them and make up your mind, don't just say "I'm sticking with ext3 cuz everyone else uses it, surely what everyone else uses must be good, kinda like Window$"
EDIT:
One more thing you might want to look into is your IO scheduler, I think IO schedulers vary somewhat in performance with respect to your filesystem and type of workload. You can try them out on-the-fly, so there's no reason not to test them and see which one is best. I would recommend testing them with multimedia or games. For example, watch a movie off your HDD, switch IO schedulers and try again. Or if you do something else more often, then do that and try out the different schedulers. I've found deadline to be the best for what I do.

I use ext3. Reiserfs could go away in the future, in my humble opinion/prediction because of two things. The first, that there is no official maintainer. Namesys does not maintaing it. They only work on reiser4. Not long ago, I think Novell was maintaining it as it was the default choice in SuSE, but they have moved to ext3 since then. Second, that, as far as I know (maybe this has changed), reiserfs depends on the big kernel lock at least for some critical parts, which prevents it from being run in more than one processor at the same time. In other words, filesystem wise, it's like you only had one CPU, and this can become a performance problem now that dual core machines, or better, are a standard choice.
By the way, anybody using ext3 should probably activate its dir_index option when creating it (this activates a tree index for directories that allows it to handle much better directories with many small files, like reiserfs does), and should probably mount it using the option "barrier=1". It's important if you want to make sure your filesystem is not corrupted on a power outage.

I saw this article just linked to on /. :
Will read it next. I think I am just going to stick with what I have until my next install. If it isn't broken, why fix it, right?

Body
Undesirbale fatty deposit, cellulite and excess weight
Afterwards, the sculptural paste for deep body skin exfoliation is applied. The skin is well cleansed, the relief is smoothed and the blood circulation is improved. This amazing in its composition paste (marine salts crystals, lactic acid, zeolite, bitter orange extract) is also used for body wrap, during which the fatty cells are successfully «emptied» (lipolysis). It also reduces the amount of body fat and helps to eliminate stagnant fluids and toxins. During the body wrap the specialist massages the feet to stimulate and balance the functioning of all the body organs.
Before the energetic SOTHYS specific anti-cellulite massage with the emulsion containing strong lipolic («fat burn») and drainage (discard of toxins) components, special serums are applied on a well-cleansed skin. These serums are selected during the diagnostics and are specifically targeted to treat certain types of cellulite: adipose, aqueous and/or fibrous.
To complete the treatment an anti-cellulite slimming cream of prolonged action is applied on the treated areas. This cream is a real body fats accumulations' «exterminator».
A distinguished SOTHYS massage technique effectively acts on the fatty tissues. An emulsion containing strong lipolitic («fat burn») and drainage (discard of toxins) components is used during the massage. After the massage the serums concentrated in active ingredients specially chosen for their recognised action on each type of cellulite (and selected accordingly during the diagnosis) are applied. These serums are targeted at different types of cellulite: adipose, aqueous and/or fibrous.
To complete the treatment an anti-cellulite slimming cream of prolonged action is applied on the treated areas. This cream is a real body fats accumulations «exterminator».
We recommend this massage as a separate course or as an integrated part of slimming and silhouette reshaping programme.
Targeted action on problematic areas and body wrap with kelp seaweed extract, caffeine and mineral salts for long lasting perfection. результат и устойчивый эффект. No seaweed smell! Delicate aroma and warmth provide complete relaxation during the wrap.
The final stage - a modelling massage with a serum based on encapsulating complex and Biosculpturin® to reduce body volume, stimulate the fat withdrawal from the organism and prevent the future accumulation.
Long term result - slim and toned body. process.
Additionally to any Carboxytherapy:
End result – loss of weight, detoxification of the body and decrease of body volume.
In order to obtain long-lasting results 6-10 treatments course is recommended.
Sculpturing of two areas up to 80 min
The LPG headpiece consists of vacuum section and two specially designed cylindrical rollers that rotate back and forth at different speeds and ensure deep massage of active tissues. The rollers move towards each other in horizontal plane depending on the strength of vacuum and create a «wave». The first roller grasps the skin fold and the second roller smooths it. The rollers are moving in 4 directions: forward, backwards, diagonally and sideways, as well as rotate towards each other or from each other in different directions.
The duration of the Lipomassage™ treatment is 40 minutes and an individual elastic body costume is essential. The whole body is massaged during the treatment, however the zones requiring firming, slimming and/or toning are given additional attention. Because of a special massage technique and individual approach it is possible to:
• reduce the amount of localised fatty deposits;
• eliminate any skin imperfections caused by cellulite;
• ensure buttocks and thighs lifting.
Fat deposits and cellulite. Endermologie® treatment accelerates the lipolysis process, empties and disintegrates fat cells and noticeably reduces the amount of subcutaneous fat. Due to the lymphatic draining effect edemas and fibrosis are also eliminated.
Muscles. Over the course of Endermologie® treatment, apart from destruction and disintegration of fatty tissues, there is also an active stimulation of the body muscles. Therefore, this is highly recommended procedure for people with sedentary lifestyles and "weak" muscles.
In order to attain exceedingly visible results, a course of 10 treatments twice a week is recommended.
First part – LPG Endermologie®. This particular technology reduces the subcutaneous fat, eliminates cellulite and tones the skin. The method activates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, enriches the skin with oxygen, accelerates fat burning process, and reduces tissues swelling, tones and shapes beautiful body contours. This particular part of the treatment lasts 40 minutes.
Second part – – a highly efficient body volume reducing method using a unique sculptural paste. It contains marine salt crystals, lactic acid, zeolite and bitter orange extract. When applied this paste exfoliates the body skin perfectly and during the wrap successfully “empties” the fatty cells (lipolysis), reduces the amount of body fat deposits and helps to eliminate stagnant fluids and toxins. During the body wrap the specialist massages the feet to stimulate and balance the functioning of all body organs.
To complete the treatment 2 products are applied: first is a serum chosen during the diagnostics of the body condition targeted to treat certain cellulite type: adipose, aqueous and/or fibrous; second is an anti-cellulite slimming cream of prolonged action, a real body fats accumulations “exterminator”.
As a result all fat splitting mechanisms are activated and the whole body is being cleansed, the skin elasticity and general condition are also improved.

So many leaders lead without truly understanding their own philosophy on the art of leadership. Would you say this applies to you? If so, you will want to be sure to join me and Steve Woodruff for this week’s Leadership Chat as we welcome Mike Figliuolo, Founder and Managing Director of thoughtLeaders LLC and author of the new book, “One Piece of Paper.”
Mike’s book is designed to help leaders at all levels of an organization distill their complete philosophy of leadership down to one piece of paper, including their views on (directly from the book):
1. Leading Yourself: what motivates you and what are your rules of personal conduct? What do you want “future you” to look like and stand for?
2. Leading the Thinking: where are you taking the organization and how will you innovate to drive change? What are your standards of performance for how you will safely get to your destination?
3. Leading Your People: how can you lead them as individuals rather than treating them like faceless cogs in the machine?
4. Leading a Balanced Life: if you are burned out, you are worthless. How do you define and achieve balance?
Mike does an eloquent job of making the case that all four are equally important, though several are rarely covered in leadership training and development initiatives, or in leadership models themselves.
What I connected with most personally in this book is how strongly Mike feels that you’ll know your leadership philosophy when you have a strong visceral and emotional response to your leadership maxims, defined as your principles or rules of conduct. As Mike states,
“Maxims must be emotionally meaningful, so you need to delve into your personal experiences to find those phrases, images and stories that stir you to your core. By having your maxims elicit an emotional and physical reaction, the likelihood that they will change your behavior is exponentially higher…Maxims can be found in painful lessons you have experienced and distilled down to their essence. They can also be drawn from incredibly positive experiences. They can be inspiring song lyrics. They can be images that stand for something you find deeply important…”
I believe I connected so strongly with this mindset because it’s how I feel about your personal vision and the vision you create for your organization. If they don’t stir you to your soul then you’ll likely find yourself walking down the path half-heartedly, and eventually wandering off.
Distilling your leadership philosophy – words that stir your soul and you commit to live by – down to one piece of paper is like creating and articulating your vision – somewhat arduous but immensely important. But I say, “somewhat arduous” only because, as Mike points out,
“The hard parts of the leadership maxims process are the introspection about and the personalization of your philosophy. It can be difficult to remove the veil of “professionalism” and accept your own humanity. It is scary to put the real you out there for everyone to see.”
But as Mike goes on to explain,
“It is exponentially more powerful to expose the real you to the people you are supposed to lead. This is what it means to be authentic, and the more authentic and direct your leadership philosophy is, the more powerful it will be.”
Join me, Mike, and my extraordinary Co-Host Steve Woodruff tomorrow night for Leadership Chat as we talk about how powerful it is to discover your leadership philosophy, distill it down to one piece of paper, share it with your organizations and teams, and then live it fully! You won’t want to miss this meaty discussion!

I look forward to this as I spent 18 years at PWC. Do I ever believe the one about potentially more powerful to expose the real you as a leader. If you don’t, you usually lose crediility quickly. And when you lose credibility, people don’t want to follow you. They’ll just go about their normal jobs and never change or do anything special. If that happens, it defeats the point of a leader. A leader is there to something special.
When you put together a resume or apply for a job, you are told to skip responsibilities and talk about accomplishments. If you don’t have people following you, and they just do normal work, then you haven’t accomplished anything. You’ve just done your responsibilities. In other words, you’re not a real leader.
Henry, I hope we’ll get into this tonight as well because I don’t think you need to have a formal team to be a leader. You can be a leader in an organzation when you lead by example, and this can be demonstrated in so many ways. Be sure to ask the question tonight and see what the Community shares with you. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Good Day Lisa –
U R post on How to Discover & Live Your Leadership is right on – looking 4ward to Tuesday’s LeadershipChat.
The first point that struck a cord with me is BURNOUT – point #4 in your post. And when I talk about BURNOUT, I am not so much focusing on Life Balance, but more importantly, LEADERSHIP BURNOUT…(is that even possible for a leader to have LEADERSHIP BURNOUT!) Is it possible or is the individual not really a leader? (I will put my cards on the table…sometimes, I am BURNOUT from leading! Okay, I said it!)
The other point that I focused on was emotional aspect – to show your personal side in leadership – to truly become authentic in your approach, your message and your philosophy. For me, I believe that is where BURNOUT can come into play – when you truly put your heart and soul, and expose yourself to the fullest to your team. Can you put so much of yourself into your leadership, that you exhaust yourself…?
Thanks Lisa for leading me down a path I surely will benefit from…
SPGonz
Steve,
This is such a great question and I hope you’ll raise it tonight on the chat. I think it is certainly possible to get burnt out from the process of leadership, and I believe it’s critical to make “down time” and rejuvenation part of each day. It sounds as if perhaps you’re absorbing all of the energy of your teams as you lead, and expending your own energy as you lead, which can be incredibly draining. I encourage you to try to ensure that you have time for yourself each day away from your leadership role to focus on rejuvenating your heart and mind, and see if that makes a difference for you. All the best!
Nice to discover you blog, Lisa. This latest entry of yours was interesting; I’m going to find the book. And I’m also very interested in hearing more about your e-book publishing experience of a collection of your blog entries. Have you written about that?
Your entry here made me think you might like my blog entry:
The virtue of weak leadership
Thank you, Curt, it’s wonderful to have you here! Sorry I am just seeing this comment today – I apologize for that. Glad to hear you’re going to find Mike’s book and thank you for noticing that I’ll be publishing an eBook soon. It’s a little soon to talk about the experience as I’m smack dab in the middle of it and learning so much! All the very best to you!
I think the two most critical views to focus on is first of all leading yourself and then leading a balanced life. If you cannot lead yourself effectively, it is impossible to lead others. As Covey says, private victories first before public victories. Secondly, if you are burned out you are useless, quite correct. A burned out person/leader do not have the capacity to think about the organization and its direction and also do not have the emotional robustness to treat people as individuals with specific needs.
A very insightful post and I think I need to buy the book!
Stephan De Villiers´s last [type] ..Six Indispensable Qualities of a Successful Social Leader
Stephan,
Excellent supporting points to justify your theory that these two are the most critical. I genuinely appreciate you sharing them! And yes, you will enjoy the book! Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
Great Article! #1 Leading yourself really resonated with me since many leaders tend to forget about their own personal development needs once they take on a top leadership position. I was also very impressed with the fact of Mike being able to help leaders get their complete philosophy of leadership down to one piece of paper; that requires more effort and concentrated thought than most people realize.
Thanks
Thank you, Rick! Thanks for sharing what resonated most with you. And I agree, it may seem like a simple exercize but it takes a lot of focused effort to get to that point. All the best!

As mentioned above, you can have as many buffers open at once as you like. Repeated use of
File > Open...
or
Ctrl+X Ctrl+F
just creates extra buffers.
Because the Editor can only display one buffer at a time, you can use either menu commands or keyboard commands to swap between buffers.
Each item in the History > Items submenu is an open buffer. To swap to a given buffer, choose it from the menu, and it is displayed in the editor window.
Alternatively, click on the Buffers tab to swap to the buffers view; see Displaying and swapping between buffers for details.
To use the keyboard, type
Ctrl+X B
. You are prompted for the name of the buffer you wish to display. The last buffer you displayed is chosen by default, and is listed in the echo area in brackets, as shown below.
Select Buffer: (test.lisp):
To swap to the buffer shown in brackets, just press
Return
. To swap to another buffer, type in the name of that buffer. Remember that completion (press
Tab
) can help.
To close the buffer that is currently displayed, choose
File > Close
, or type
Ctrl+X K
.
Ctrl+X K, you can close any buffer, not just the current one. Type a buffer name in the echo area, or press
Returnto close the current buffer.
Note: If you attempt to close any buffer which you have changed but not yet saved, a dialog appears, giving you the opportunity to cancel the operation.
To save all the buffers in the Editor, choose File > Save All... . A dialog appears which lists each modified buffer. By default, each buffer is selected, indicating that it is to be saved. If there are any buffers that you do not want to save, deselect them by clicking on them. The dialog has four buttons, as follows:
This dialog is also displayed if there are any unsaved files when you exit the environment.
Sometimes you may find that being able to display only one buffer in the window simply does not give you enough flexibility. For instance, you may have several buffers open, and you may want to look at two different buffers at once. Or you may have a very large buffer, and want to look at the beginning and end of it at the same time.
You can do any of these by creating a new Editor window. Choose
Works > Clone
or press
Ctrl+X 2
or click the
button. This creates a copy of your original Editor. The new Editor displays the same buffer as the original one.
Changes made to a buffer are automatically reflected across all editor windows--the buffer may be displayed in two different windows, but there is still only one buffer. This means that it is impossible to save two different versions of the same file on disk.

Paul the Octopus wasn’t the first, but he was probably the best.
And the exposure given to the late German mollusc, who returned a 100% prediction record at the last football World Cup, spurned many copycats.
Or, in the case of the rugby World Cup in New Zealand, copy farm animals, with the prophet sheep, Sonny Wool, up against Richie McCow, the psychic calf.
But it’s turned into something of a zoo at the European Football Championships. In the words of the German weekly Der Spiegel, it is “Euro 2012 Oracle Inflation”.
The vying animal forecasters include “Nelly the elephant, Xavier the bulldog, Emma the pig, Mörmel the otter, Traudl the goat, Axel the axolotl and the Baltic Sea seagulls living on the island of Usedom”.
And that’s just in Germany. “There are also rabbits in Switzerland, a gigantic hog in Ukraine and another elephant in Poland.”

Frisco ISD to host Black History Month events
By Anthony Tosie,

Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 2:49 PM CST
Black History Month is a time to reflect on the past, but Frisco ISD is also hoping to build a foundation for the future with events it will host later this month.
Frisco ISD will host two Black History Month events in the coming weeks -- a guest speaker-led event on Feb. 22 and a networking social on Feb. 24 -- that it hopes will help residents interact with each other and the school district more.
The first event, which will be hosted in coordination with the Greater Frisco Chapter of Jack and Jill, is entitled "From Bondage to Freedom" and will reflect on the contributions of black Americans throughout the country's history.
Melissa Johnson, coordinator of the Greater Frisco Chapter of Jack and Jill, said the event will focus on the past, present and future of black Americans.
"For the past, children will be taking part in a living museum, where they'll represent famous African-Americans who are deceased," she said. "Other children will represent famous African-Americans who are alive today for the present. Finally, we'll have a student-run marketplace representing the future. Students all across the district will be able to promote their businesses."
Johnson, who serves as a co-chair of the event, mentioned babysitting and scarf knitting as examples of what kind of businesses students may want to promote.
Also at the event, Shon Gables, a news anchor for WFAA, will serve as a guest speaker while Dede McGuire of K104 FM will serve as mistress of ceremony. Live entertainment ranging from music to dancing to poetry reading will also be available. The event will be held 6:30-9:30 p.m. at Frisco Wakeland High School and is free to the public.
Larry Lewis, Frisco ISD's coordinator of student achievement and involvement, said the events will focus on black history but are inclusive of people from all backgrounds.
"We're going to have all kinds of cultures and races participating at the events," he said. "We have a great speaker for Friday night, and it just goes from there. It's going to be great -- we're excited about it."
The Feb. 24 event, which will last from 4-6 p.m. at the Frisco ISD administration building, is a networking social for Frisco ISD parents, staff and other community members. Refreshments will be served, and parents are welcome to bring their children, though it will be a more adult-oriented event.
Lewis said the event was created to help the community come together to support education and involvement.
"There were so many parents in Frisco who didn't know each other, and there wasn't an event where they could come and meet other parents," he said. "That's what we're going to do -- that's what this event is all about. It's for the Frisco community to come out and meet each other and different people throughout the school district."
More information
For more information regarding the "From Bondage to Freedom" event,
. That event will be held 6:30-9:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at Frisco Wakeland High School, 10700 Legacy Drive.
The Black History Month networking social will be held 4-6 p.m. Feb. 24 at the Frisco ISD administration building (in the administration training rooms), 5515 Ohio Drive.

Stories of a tired hubby
As I have mentioned in earlier posts, I have a rather hands on hubby with his son–for which I am very grateful. He doesn’t hesitate to change a poopy diaper or take a midnight feeding. Which leads me to my story:
A few weeks ago I was up with our teething baby ALL NIGHT…by about 5 am Lil W decided he was up for the day and I was way too tired to get up with him…So, his awesome Daddy was sweet enough to get up with our Lil guy.
A few hours later, I woke up to a happy baby ready for a nap and a hard at work husband. The hubby had even already changed his poopy diaper! I got Lil W ready for the day, put him down for a nap and started my morning chores. When I was putting laundry away in his room I couldn’t help but notice that it was sooooo stinky…
Maybe I needed to empty the diaper pail, I thought…I was wrong!
**WARNING**: Somewhat graphic image coming up.
Lil W spent the rest of the night with a frontal wedgie and his feet not fitting in the proper feety holes. Not the mention, the buttons on the onesie going all the way up his neck instead of down his back (Lil W didn’t seem to mind one bit, though). I couldn’t stop laughing while I changed his diaper. I just had to grab the camera to capture this moment…

Lol, too cute. It happens
Classic daddies!
I laughed out loud…seriously…while reading this post. They (hubbies) are so smart about so many things…but when it comes to dressing the baby in the middle of the night, no brains at all. So funny. Thanks for cheering me up today with a walk down memory lane:)
Seriously hilarious!!! I would always change gav’s diaper in the middle of the night and zip him back up just to find that his pjs were all wet cause he had peed on himself. It’s a wonder how our poor kids survive there first year with the lack of sleep we endure.

...because so far, this is how i feel.
i know it's new and perhaps people will figure out the "best way" to use it. but so far this sudden craze just reminds me of the scene in mean girls where regina has two conspicuous holes in her sweater and because she's regina george, everyone else starts doing it. similarly...
ok, i'll get off my soapbox and stop venting. what do you think of the new app? are you into it? by all means, sell me on its advantages! i just know that so far i haven't seen one vine video that offered me something a still shot of the same thing couldn't have also provided viewers.
and thanks, nikki, for sending along this gif illustration!
update: ok, for further investigation, i gave it a go and made my first video. i'm even bored watching it. thank goodness tuck and fi are so cute. hah will try harder next time...
26 comments:
I haven't signed up yet... I dont really get it. And the more people who istagramed their user names yesterday, the more I wanted to NOT sign up.
:)
I 100% agree! But, I also signed up, hehe. We'll see how it goes!.
Completely agree! Seems totally silly and useless, though I guess I said the same about tablets a few years ago and now I have an Ipad. For now, Vine seems pretty pointless,.
THANK YOU for summing up my feelings on this, too!! I hadn't even heard of it til I was heading to bed Sunday night and by Monday morning it was e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. Who wants to see a six second video? It sounds like a bad joke about someone losing their virginity, really.
(Sorry for ending on that note, but still).

Rose
Blonde in this City!
I said on twitter something along the same lines, and then I caved and created an account and have posted two videos. Still on the fence.
Created an account for the same reasons you mentioned...but, I have to say I just can't get into it. Sometimes the videos don't even load. I don't know- it's just too many apps/things to keep up with ;)
xo,
Caroline
I actually do agree with you. I think you can make some super cute videos on there is you take the time but other than that I was kinda bored.!!
I signed up and am totally obsessed! There's some really GREAT CREATIVE stuff out there. Some people are using it to make really interesting work.
There are a few issues.
1- there's ALSO a lot of crap.
2- there's some porn
3- I can't share any of the cool stuff I've seen because you can *only view it through the app itself or twitter feed.
I did find a link to this guys stuff which is awesome:
I also wrote a blog post on my opinion and why I think it's awesome here:
Anyways, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I'm sure it's not for everyone, but personally, I LOVE it! :) ;)
I totally agree - the concept is not bad, but I have no idea what to post ... just extended instagram pics. And social media is officially overwhelming!
Lexi @ Glitter, Inc.'.
Having to keep up with social media makes me stressed. No lie. Oh look, she has 1,890 followers/friends and I have 64. This must be a direct correlation indicating my self worth.
It's quite depressing to be honest. I adore Twitter because I can put light hearted things out there and they're only present for a moment, Facebook on the other hand makes me anxious.
I don't do instagram, so it's a no go for vineapp.!
I will say I've found one blogger/artist whose use of vine I can get on board with: Paperfashion (see:). She uploads little snippets of the various stages of her drawings. I get why that enhances her brand and adds something to her readers.
Here's a tip for nay-sayers!
If you don't see at least 3 things you would qualifiy as either:
-really cool
- clever
- creative
- funny
- beautiful
- or cute
Then Vine is totally not for you :)
you made me laugh out loud. i agree with you 100%!
I TOTALLY agree - love the Mean Girls point haha.
I TOTALLY agree - love the Mean Girls point haha..
Couple of things. Yes, the ammount of apps (new stuff) in your industry is overwhelming. However, Tuck looks better which is nice to see.
As mama I love it... also I'm loving other cute kids! xo

How to Curb Your Chocolate Cravings? Walk it Off
The next time a chocolate craving strikes you while at work, if you want to resist indulging, try heading out for a brisk walk.
Taking a 15-minute walkcut the amount chocolate people ate by nearly half, according to a new study.
"We know that snacking on high-calorie foods, like chocolate, at work can become a mindless habit and can lead to weight gain over time," study researcher Adrian Taylor, a professor at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, said in a statement.
Taylor and his colleagues set out to determine whether physical activity could curb chocolate cravings. They asked 78 regular chocolate-eaters to abstain from chocolate for two days, and split them up into four groups.
Two groups took a brisk 15-minute walk on a treadmill, and were then given work to complete at a desk in a simulated work environment. One group was assigned an easy, low-stress task, while the other was asked to complete a more demanding job. The other two groups were asked to rest, rather than go for a walk, before being given those same work tasks.
A bowl of chocolates was placed within the reach of all participants as they carried out their work.
The researchers found that the people who had gone for a walk ate, on average, about 15 grams (0.5 ounces) of chocolate, or the equivalent of a small "fun size" chocolate bar, while the resting group ate about 28 grams (0.9 oz).
The results also showed that the difficulty of the tasks made no difference in the amount of chocolate they ate, which suggests that stress did not contribute to their chocolate cravings, according to the researchers.
"We often feel that these snacks give us an energy boost, or help us deal with the stress of our jobs, including boredom," Taylor said. "People often find it difficult to cut down on their daily treats, but this study shows that by taking a short walk, they are able to regulate their intake by half."
The study will be published in the February issue of the journal Appetite.
Pass it on: Taking a 15-minute stroll can cut snacking on chocolate at work by nearly half.
