Thread: '05 Prius Battery Drain
'05 Prius Battery Drain
talking about batteries, i think i either have a lemon or my dealer is giving me the run around. No matter how long I drive the car, the top two or three bars on the battery display never seem to fill up. Do I have a defective battery or cells? Or am I missing something? I recently took four trips of 600 miles (almost all flat driving) one way, straight driving except for brief gas/potty stops. Max number of bars displayed was 7 out of 9. I tried alternative driving techniques/cruise control and steady as possible foot. I am doing something wrong or expecting the impossible.
Also I can't seem to get over 35 mpg in town (crowded city, lots of stop and go) or 45 mpg highway..... about 70 mph. Any tips on what to do to get better mileage.

'05 Prius Battery Drain
I just returned from a nine day vacation to find the power button dead on my 2006 Prius. I had read in the manual about turning off the smart key when gone for two weeks or more. I did turn it off, but now I'm not sure if maybe I drove it for one last errand before we left and forgot to turn it off again. So I'm not sure how long the battery will last with or without the smart key turned off, and no one, neither the dealer nor the tow guy could tell me either.
I had been told by the dealer who sold it to me that if the battery dies, always call Toyota and have them come out and fix it or tow it. I also paid $1600 for the extended, full 7-year, 100,000 mile warranty. I naively took this salesman at his word that all I had to do was call the nearest dealer, or the service number, and Toyota would be there in a flash to get me up and running again.
First, I called the dealer who sold it to me, and the service guy said that it was my responsibility to tow it into them (although theoretically I would get reimbursed for the tow charge), and they wouldn't be able to get to it until the next day at the earliest. He told me I should just jump it myself, but I told him I was not comfortable doing that because the salesman had told me not to do that, but rather that I should call their service center and have Toyota send someone out who knew Priuses.
Then I called Toyota's service number that was listed in the warranty document. They were closed--only open from 7am -7pm. So then I called another dealer in Minneapolis who I had been using for oil changes because they were closer to where I lived than the dealer I bought it from. Their service guy also suggested I jump it, but I told him I didn't want to do that because of what the salesman had told me, and because I'm unfamiliar with the Prius' two-battery system, and because I couldn't open the hatchback without power to get to the back battery. He did finally get a towing company to call me back who had experience with Priuses.
This towing company guy came to our house after finishing some other towing jobs after about two hours. This guy definitely had experience with Priuses, and was knowledgeable about them. But even so, it took him about an hour of troubleshooting to figure out how to jump start the car, especially since it was in a single car garage, and there was no access to the back battery because we couldn't open the hatchback because there was no power.
He finally figured out that we had to pull off a plastic cap of an electronic panel, located on the far right side looking back under the front hood of the car (that can be opened without power). There he finally located an innocuous postive battery post sticking up. He said that the location of this positive post had changed from the 2005 Prius. He then hooked the jumper cables (which were long enough to reach from the back of the car to the front) to this positive post, and then attached the second negative cable to a screw post sticking up from the car frame nearby, and we were able to jump start the car with no problem.
This towing guy's recommendation was to invest in a small, $15 battery charger, and hook it up to the rear battery if you're going to be gone for extended periods. He said that should keep the battery alive.
Some summary points:
1) Buy the $15 battery charger and hook it up to your rear battery if you're going leave your Prius parked for extended time periods.
2) Turn off your smart key switch under your steering wheel on the left (see owner's manual) if you're gone for extended time.
3) Find out from your dealer who they use as a towing company, so that you get one that knows Priuses. Then get their number and just call them diretly if something goes wrong. DON'T wait until the battery goes dead, or something else goes wrong to find out how little help the nearest Toyota dealer might be. I was glad I had not stalled out on the freeway somewher late at night. DON'T assume that if you call the Toyota service number after 7pm that they will be there to get you help. DON'T assume that the dealer will necessarily be of much help either, even if they happen to be open.

I have a 2005 Prius that in the past few weeks has refused to start. The dashboard icons light up but the car does not start. I got it jumped the first time, but it happened again.
Last year, I left in for a few months without following any of the suggestions that you guys have mentioned here. (I didn't know). I'm afraid that this has permanently damaged the battery. Or maybe it's just from the cold weather?
I don't drive it every day...more like twice a week, but not far distances.
How can I fix the problem? And prevent reoccurences?

Sounds like the 12v battery
Sounds like the 12v battery may be going bad.
In a "normal" car, you know your battery is going dead when the engine cranks S-L-O-W-L-Y. But with the Prius, the big 200v battery cranks the engine, and the 12v battery only has to run the computer.
So the 12v battery can go 99% dead before you notice a problem.
And the biggest problem is, unless you know how to "dive" into the hidden menus, there is NO indication as to how low the 12v battery actually is!
This looks like a very
This looks like a very informative page. Thanks for all your contributions. Here is my question:
My wife and I own a 2004 and a 2005 Prius. Can you please tell me the location(s) of any accessible positive battery posts in the engine area of these two models that can be used to recharge the auxiliary battery? Yesterday, I couldn't start one of the cars due to a dead aux battery (a dome light had been left on all night), and I had to crawl through the back seat and the trunk area just to open the rear door so that I could gain access to the aux battery. This was not easy for somebody my age. I infer from one of the postings to this forum (above) that such a thing exists. But where? I can't find any refernce to these in either of the owners manuals. Thanks. Rich

I have a 2007 prius and just let it sit for three weeks in the wisconsin winter. Had the smart key off.when I went to start it I had no problem. I do have a question though. Why do the blue power bars turn green?
I am a new owner of a 2008
I am a new owner of a 2008 Prius. I love the car, especially the gas millage. I do have a concern. Recently in heavy traffic, I watched the blue bar graph steadily drop to two bars. Does anyone know what would happen if/when the battery drains and what, if anything prevents that from happening? My dealer told me to put the car into the "B" shift slot. This will cause the hybrid battery to re-charge.

Bob: you got bad
Bob: you got bad info.
Putting the car in "B" mode reduces the recharging of the propusion battery. "B" mode is for long downhill slopes where the battery cannot absorb all the braking energy. "B" mode is a mechanical engine brake similar to the truck "Jake" brakes.
If you are driving around in "B" mode, the propulsion battery is NOT being recharged every time you hit the brakes.
The bar graph display shows the status of the propulsion (200V, 1.6 Kw hour) battery. It has NO relation to the 12V battery that runs all the accessories, AND the computers that control the entire car.
The propulsion battery should begin to recharge when the computer calls for the engine to charge it OR when you are braking to a stop. The little arrows from the engine to the battery should show you when the proplulsion battery is being charged.
Great discussion. I have a
Great discussion. I have a 2004 Prius that I have left untouched for as many as 16 days without doing a thing, and it starts perfectly every time. I never pay any mind to the "bars" or other electric and battery functions. I consistently get 43 to 48 MPG - even in hot desert summers with the AC used regularly. I drive my car, on average, from 5 to 15 miles about 5 days each week, and sometimes take it on long road trips. It's been an absolute dream car with virtually no maintenance other than the usual tires and oil change (has about 40K miles now). I will be leaving idle for 5 weeks, and I plan to turn off the smart key thanks to the recommendations herein. I wish a Prius on everyone!

The Final Step: The Movement Interview
Wow! I cannot believe it has been a year since my movement interview. Time is already beginning to fly! By this point in the application process, you have heard back about whether you have been invited to the movement interview, which will be held on March 9th.
I remember the day my invitation arrived. I was a combination of excited, nervous, anxious, and also quite curious. Reflecting on my initial feelings after receiving my movement interview invitation, I felt it would be helpful to post about the movement interview process itself.
First, I would like to save you from an anxious couple of weeks by assuring you that the movement interview is not meant to be a nerve-wracking or stressful experience at all! This is easier said than done (I know from experience—my heart was beating out of my chest), but the faculty does a great job of easing your nerves. After a few minutes of warming up, I was able to relax and just enjoy the process. In fact, to this day it still remains one of my most fond memories since joining the program. It is also important to remember that the movement portion of this process is not testing your technical abilities in terms of how high you can leap. The faculty is surveying how comfortable you are moving in your own body and your improvisational interactions with one another. That being said, it is important to show your true self, both as a mover and during the verbal interview. The faculty is looking to learn as much as possible about you as a mover, student, and person, so don’t be afraid to be yourself or speak to the qualities that you know would make you a strong candidate for the program!
Which leads me to my next point: the movement interview is a great time to determine whether or not Columbia feels like the right school for you. You have the opportunity to talk as well as move with faculty, take a tour of the facilities, and determine your feelings about Chicago. This is also your chance to ask questions, especially during the one-on-one interview with a Columbia faculty member. Also, embrace this opportunity to meet other prospective students. After all, it is possible they could end up being your classmates.
Last but certainly not least, remember to enjoy the experience! Also, if you are in town the Friday before the interview, you can catch the Annual Alumni Concert at Hamlin Park Fieldhouse at 7:00pm! You can also observe a dance class with current DMTC students and the Stephen Petronio Dance Company, as well as attend a performance by Stephen Petronio Dance Company the following evening. Please note that your attendance at these events is not mandatory nor will it influence your acceptance into the program.
Good Luck!

Kayleigh completes four-in-a-row and it’s a hat-trick for Karine and Siobhan
Community Games
The County finals of the Community Games Gymnastics competition took place in the excellent facilities of Moyle Park Sports Complex, Lisronagh last week.
Ninty two competitors competed overall from various areas throughout the county, some hoping to win the coveted county title and a place at the HSE Community Games National Finals next August while others were quite young and this was new to them but all definitely enjoyed taking part, having fun and making new friends.
Participation in this sport is increasing all the time.
Kayleigh Flannery from Clerihan won the under 10 girls event for the fourth successive year. This was a great achievement. Kayleigh replaced her leotard with football gear on Saturday morning as she is a member of the Clerihan U12 girls football team who qualified for round two defeating Fethard.
Karine Blair, New Inn and Siobhan Murchan, Kilsheelan both completed a hat trick winning the under 12 and under 16 events respectively, landing three gold medals in a row. Karine also won silver in 2009
Norma Kennedy from Cahir won the girls under 14 event while her sister Eilish won bronze in the under 16 event.
Siobhan Murchan and Lorna Ni Cheallaigh, winner of a silver medal under 16, are both members of the County Tipperary ladies football team and manager Biddy Ryan was spotted among the spectators supporting many young ladies in addition to her granddaughter, Cathy, who was representing Ardfinnan. We are looking forward to seeing Lorna in action again in the swimming event this weekend.
Liam McGrath, Clerihan who won a gold medal four years ago eventually got his second gold medal this year. Liam made a habit of breaking bones for the past two years in the weeks leading up to the competition.
Thanks to Co-ordinator Martin O’Keeffe, Judges Andrea O’Keeffe and Christine Brunnock, Gym coaches Majella Hewitt-Forte, Karen Morrissey and their teams who all worked hard on a long day.
Special thanks to the Moyle Park Committee, especially Pat and Joan O’Connor and family, who did tremendous work preparing for the event, sorting refreshments and leaving everything ship shape and to Anne Quinlan, Area Secretary.

View of Stongfjorden. (Or, A Pretty Close Approximation of What Drinking Quality Vin Santo Feels Like.) Courtesy of The County Archives of Sogn og Fjordane.
When you really get down to it, drinking wine seasonally is all about heat. External or internal. Avoided or sought. Complimented or created.
This seasonal wine-to-heat relationship is easy enough to understand in summer, when the external warmth of sunshine is balanced out by a chilled Chablis or Albariño, whose brisk snap on the palate provide the vinous equivalent of a dive into the ocean. Likewise in winter, when the inevitable turn from outdoors to indoors causes our tastes to seek the likes of Barolos and Zinfandels, wines capable of creating a kind of internal heat to both replicate and enhances the warmth of a good old fashioned wood fire on the hearth.
But what of the turn itself?
Shorter in length and far less predictable it terms of heat, autumn wine selection requires--as all things in autumn seem to require--a bit more in the way of thoughtful consideration. The whole layering process in dressing for autumn neatly mimicking how we select the appropriately weighted wine. Near the top of this very short list of autumnal wines sits Vin Santo, the amber Italian dessert wine and vini da meditazioni ideally suited to savoring those last evenings outdoors, and those first wood fires of the year, simultaneously.
Like all wonderfully Italian wines (not necessarily the same thing as wonderful Italian wines), Vin Santo has a deep and mysterious history, a widely disputed name origin, a medieval production method that involves tools not necessarily found in your typical modern winery, is overproduced within Italy, underappreciated outside of Italy, includes examples so bad they can only be described as somehow unholy, and at its peak expression is so divinely pleasurable and life-enhancing as to restore one's faith in just about anything. Including the weather.
For those who have yet to experience this pleasure, the best and most cost-effective place to try Vin Santo would be a restaurant, preferably Italian, where one trusts whoever is in charge of the wine. A good tell in this regard would be to look for dessert wine lists featuring multiple Vin Santos. A single Vin Santo likely represents the we-should-have-a-Vin-Santo slot, as well as indicates a restaurant where Vin Santo is not exactly in demand. This does not mean their Vin Santo is not good, or even great. But it does present the question of how long it has been since this good-to-even-great Vin Santo has been sitting loosely-recorked behind the bar.
Now then, every article you will read on Vin Santo including this one will tell you that its traditional serving/pairing is as accompaniment to an after dinner biscotti, which you then dip into the Vin Santo. Which is true. Which is absolutely a good idea. Which has all sorts of interesting overtones suggesting the dunking of other small wafers into other tiny glasses of holy wine along with a very different kind of worship than typically goes on around a dinner table very late at night. However, the better the Vin Santo, the more it deserves to be served by itself. For reasons that get back to what is meant by the term vino da meditazioni.
To start with, vini da meditazioni (or, meditation wines) should not be confused with wines that certain sommeliers and wine merchants refer to as contemplation wines. Typically big, tannic midwinter wines that gradually open up over the course of an evening and therefore invite contemplation. That is to say, contemplation of the wine. Even though at a certain level this applies to Vin Santo as well.
For there is an interplay of tastes in Vin Santo that might be missed if one does not take the time to quietly consider/contemplate both. There is the sweetness; a warm gold, toffee-tinted sweetness that somehow ignites a slightly broader sweet spot on the palate than other dessert wines. This the dusky, bittersweet, late-September fading tan side of Vin Santo. But with this there is also a subtle, almost background acidity; a mysterious product of that unique production method that never quite cuts the sweetness and yet, when one really takes the time to mind the details, is always there. The way your breath is always there but you only really notice it when the sun goes down early in November. And it is the interplay between the two--a warm sweater over a tan, your visible breath disappearing before an outdoor fire--that makes Vin Santo a true October wine, well worth contemplation.
What makes it vini da meditazioni, is that this interplay encourages meditation not about the wine, but through it. This same mysterious counterpoint of sweetness and acidity becomes the medium through which we are encouraged to meditate over that turn of season when light and bodies and thoughts all slowly rotate inward, indoors, collapsing down in search of largely internal heat. This is meditation not as contemplation, but reflection.
All of which is to say that Vin Santo is a wine best suited for solitude. Not necessarily a wine to enjoy alone; but certainly a wine best enjoyed in a place one can be properly left alone. Alone with a glass of Vin Santo. Alone with those slightly dormant and secretly introverted spaces on one's palate. Alone, more than anything else, with one's thoughts.
Only then is there time to meditate over the faded memories, cherished or regretted, lingering along the tan lines of another warm and all-too-brief summer. Only then does the wine open up the proper introspective space that anyone who lives in a snowbound place really actually desperately needs in order to brace the psyche and soul for another cold and oh-so-very-long winter. And only there, in those quiet autumnal spaces--between days, between seasons, between mysteries presented and discoveries made--can one truly linger over a glass of Vin Santo, and through its dusky amber sanctity outlast the dying fire over meditations of a more deeply personal nature. Be they divine. Or otherwise.

In late 2019, a novel coronavirus, now designated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified as the cause of an outbreak of acute respiratory illness in Wuhan, China. In February 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated the disease COVID-19, which stands for coronavirus disease 2019. Since the first reports of COVID-19, infection has spread worldwide, with almost 100 million confirmed cases.
Taking the vaccine can help decrease the risk of getting COVID-19.
All COVID-19 vaccines under development will be carefully evaluated in clinical trials and will be approved for sale only if taking them greatly reduces your chances of contracting COVID-19. Clinical trial data confirm that even if you do get novel coronavirus, the vaccine can help you avoid serious illness; vaccination can also protect you and those around you.
COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to help build protection
Suffering from COVID-19 may provide some natural protection, called natural immunity. Current evidence suggests that within 90 days of the initial infection, it is rare to be re-infected with the virus that caused COVID-19. However, experts are not sure how long this protection will last, and the risk of serious illness and death from COVID-19 far outweighs any of the benefits of innate immunity. Vaccination against COVID-19 can reduce the risk of the disease by producing antibodies. Both natural immunity and immunity from vaccination are important components of preventing the contraction of COVID-19.
Vaccination will be an important way to help stop the pandemic
Wearing a mask and keeping a distance can help reduce your chances of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others, but these measures are not enough. The vaccine will be used in conjunction with your immune system, so if you are exposed, it will be ready to fight the virus.
● Healthcare Personnel
●Frontline essential workers such as customs inspection and quarantine personnel at ports involved in imported cold chain items
● Port loading and unloading, handling, transportation and other related personnel.
●People with a higher risk of infection such as international transportation and logistics
According to the data of clinical trials that have been carried out, the following populations are temporarily excluded from the scope of this vaccination:
Those who are allergic to any component of the vaccine, have had a severe allergic reaction to vaccines in the past (such as allergic shock, acute allergic reaction, measles, skin eczema, dyspnea, angioedema or abdominal pain)
People suffering from acute illness, severe chronic illness, and acute onset of chronic illness and fever
What are the possible adverse reactions?
Common adverse reactions:
●Generally within 24 hours after vaccination, the injection area may have pain, tenderness, redness, and itching, in most cases, these symptoms will likely disappear on their own within 2 to 3 days.
● Fever, fatigue, will likely disappear on its own after a short period of time and without treatment
The basic immunization is 2 doses, 0.5 ml each, with an interval of 2 to 4 weeks between each dose of intramuscular injection.
Viral mutation is a scientific problem, and the scientific research team in China has been paying close attention to the issue. It includes more than 30 scientific research institutions across the country that carry out the tracking and research of the mutation, and provides timely analyze and assessment of whether the mutation will affect vaccine research and development.
Up to now, there are nearly 150,000 new coronavirus genome sequences in the global database. Through comparative analysis of more than 80,000 high-quality viral genome sequences, the results show that the virus has little variation and belongs to the accumulation of variation within the normal range. Therefore, the current mutation will not have a substantial impact on vaccine development. The scientific research team will closely follow the virus mutation and make timely judgments.
▪Wearing a mask
▪Staying at least six feet (2 meters) away from others
▪Avoiding crowds
▪Washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
▪Following quarantine guidance after exposure to COVID-19
The COVID-19 vaccine is currently only available through the Chinese CDC, but be sure to follow Jiahui on WeChat to see the latest updates on its availability.

Wow what a day I forgot how much I hate moving. Yep we started changing to a new gate location at 6:30 this mornig and it has been none stopp until about 8 PM. I can’t remember whne I have been this tired. Starting out I thought that we would suely get wet, The clouds were real thick but they never let go of any water.
We arrived at our new gate 3 miles west Of Big Wells off Highway 85 A well that has been drilled for some time and they are now setting up for Fracking. They brought in a couple of Frack tanks and a couple loads of pipes after we arrived. The Bossman stopped by about 5Pm and said that the crew and equipment would start arriving Sunday or Monday. Maybe we will have a couple of slow days so I can get finished setting up.
We had a Beautiful sunset this evening so maybe tomorrow will bring a nice day.

Whoo hoo to the Canadian Women's hockey team who took the gold medal tonight. Now hopefully the men will follow suit.
Left for work early again today but this time with my pass. As I passed my neighbour's house at 5:40am they were grabbing their paper and I think wondered where the heck I was going.
Boy, you can get a lot done when the office is quiet and no one else is around.
Was in meetings from 7:30am to 2pm. These long days are leading to some self sabotage. Went to Subway for lunch and got the Chipotle steak and cheese sub. It looked good and the last thing I wanted was turkey or ham. It was really really good.
I am keeping my goal in sight even though I wavered a little. Tomorrow my mission is to be out of the office by noon and focus focus focus on a good weigh in on Saturday.
Alright my friends I hope your Thursday was fabulous.

Hi Guys,
Relatively new to reloading. Have loaded several thousand rounds of 9mm with no hiccups.
Going to start loading for my 45 XD service. Anything I need to know? Any changes in the the technique I should know? Not talking about primers and stuff. The technique itself. What I should be aware of.
Using a Classic Turret Press & Lee 4 pc Carbide die set, Win 231 or Tite-Group. Just looking for a soft load. Not really sure about FMJ's or lead yet. Dont have any bullets yet, so I am open for suggestions about that.
I have read from various forums that XD's dont like SWC. Lead is cheaper to shoot than FMJ. Cant shoot lead from my G19, so dont have any experience with lead.
If I go the lead route, is there anything I need to differently loading lead in 45 ACP?
Is there anything I need to do differently in loading 45 ACP from loading 9mm in wouldn't use lead simply because I don't like cleaning that much. I've been using 200gr JFP Rainers in my XD45 and have no problems. I've tried flat points and ball and feeding was never an issue but I don't know about SWC. If you loaded 9mm you'll be fine with the 45. As far as a load goes, check out Hodgdon's website, they have some nice target loads I've been using for a while.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
A good, hard cast lead bullet should not cause excessive leading in a .45. The pressures and velocities are pretty low. I put a gentle bevel in the case mouth prior to belling to prevent shaving of the lead. Be very careful with this as the cartridge headspaces on the mouth so you will need to have some brass left at the mouth to insure proper headspace. I lightly chamfer the mouth to about 1/2 the brass thickness is visible.
Avoid swaged lead bullets unless you enjoy de-leading the barrel.
"...9mm with no hiccups. Going to start loading for my 45 XD service. Anything I need to know? "
Not really. Just consider it a man size 9mm!
Lead bullets will frequently need a bit more mouth flare than jacketed or the bullet heels may be damaged entering the case. That kills accuracy! Don't crimp them too much, just enough to remove the flare works for me.
Hard cast bullets, properly lubed, will leave little or no leading at .45 ACP velocities. I use the old NRA formula Alox/Bee's wax lube in my 1911 and NEVER see more than a thin, light gray smear on the lands. That comes out with a few passes of an oiled brass brush.
+2 for Robocop. I have good luck with a hard cast 200gr SWC at 800 fps in my Colt Mark 4 Govt. I always run a mag of warm FMJ through the barrel after a target session, 5-6 swipes with solvent brush,dry,oil,and done/clean. If you use the Lee 4 carbide set you should be using the Lee Factory Crimp die last. This will insure that all rounds will chamber. I also check all 9mm+45acp with an overall cart. die after loading. These are avail from MidWay and take the place of a barrel chamber to check fit of loaded round.Most hard cast lead can be bought less than any jacketed.
NRA Life MEMBER 1976
When using lead,use HARD lead. I like LaserCast. Some guns do not like plated bullets; in my experience lead is more reliable. Don't chamfer the case -- flare (bell) the case mouth enough to allow the bullet to start with NO shaving of the bullet. Seat the bullet in one step, crimp in a seperate step. I load SWC's to 1.245 OAL with a 0.470 crimp. +1 on the Lee full length sizing/crimp die -- it's worth twice the price. I use a 200 gr LSWC and 4.5 gr of VVN310 and a WLP to the dimensions above. Shoots super in my 5" 1911.

What is advocacy?
The Advocacy Charter (produced by Action for Advocacy) defines advocacy as “taking action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and obtain services they need. Advocates and advocacy schemes work in partnership with the people they support and take their side. Advocacy promotes social inclusion, equality and social justice.”
Advocates are independent from other services and as such are able to focus on giving people a voice and empowering people in a unique way.
There is some statutory provision of advocacy (Independent Mental Health Advocates, Independent Mental Capacity Advocates and NHS Complaints Advocacy). Statutory advocacy has the benefit of being protected by law (e.g. the Mental Health Act and the Mental Capacity Act) but these types of advocacy are only available in specific situations. There is therefore a need for generic advocacy services that are able to work with a wider range of people on the issues with which they need support.
Dementia advocacy
The Dementia Advocacy Network (DAN) believes that every person with dementia should have access to a skilled and independent advocate who understands dementia and is equipped to advocate effectively.
People with dementia are among some of the most vulnerable members of our society. With an illness that brings diminishing ability to cope independently, progressive changes in cognitive ability, fluctuating mental capacity and increasing difficulties in communication they are vulnerable to discrimination and abuse. Increasing demand on services, austerity measures and reduced resources mean that sometimes the person with dementia has little involvement in decisions about their treatment and care, their rights disregarded, their voice not listened to or overpowered by others.
Advocates who work with people with dementia are able to ensure that their voice is heard and their rights protected. Advocates can also work in a non-instructed capacity with people who are unable to tell the advocate what they want, which can be particularly valuable for some people with dementia. DAN’s publication “Taking their side; fighting their corner” includes case studies that demonstrate the value of advocacy for sixteen different people with dementia.
Advocates can benefit other services by being able to spend time specifically focusing on finding out what the person with dementia wants and communicating this to service providers. This means that service providers can have the assurance that their service is tailored to that particular service user, taking their individual views and preferences into account.
‘Mind the Gap’ – Advocacy provision in London
DAN has produced a report to promote the need for independent advocacy for people with dementia and highlight areas in London where there are gaps. The findings of the report will be presented and discussed at DAN’s conference, ‘A Stronger Voice for People with Dementia’ which is being held in London on 18 September. Anyone who is interested in attending can book a place here.
For further information please contact Jan Kendall, DAN Manager, or Heather Tyas, National Project Support, Dementia Advocacy Network (DAN): Tel: 020 8968 2614. Email: [email protected]. Website:

Game Face is a sports equipment-themed outlaw serving Heckyl, he appears in the episode "Home Run Koda".
He is voiced by Michael Saccente, who also portrayed the human form of Gorrox from Super Ninja Steel.
History
Game Face made his first appearance as he was summoned by Fury to tangle with the Rangers. After his first strike fails, Heckyl threatens to destroy him, until he reasons that both him and Fury are correct when stating that the raid was a failure it was because the Vivix were out of shape, as they inhale treats whenever they get the chance. So he is given one more chance, Game Face has his Doom Squad train hard, as it was overseen by him, the Spikeballs, Wrench and Fury. When he discovers his explosive bat is with Koda, he is exhilarated, as the bat itself is explosive and will destroy those close to it if detonated, but unknown to them the Dino Charge Rangers were eavesdropping on them. So the heroes hurried towards Koda and told him that the bat is actually a bomb so he throws the bat into the air, allowing it to burst harmlessly.
With his now-improved Doom Squad initially overwhelms the heroes with their deadly sports gear. However the Dino Charge Rangers used their new Victory Charger and it proves decisive in their triumph as he and his team were eliminated. Thankfully Game Face and his entire team is grown to giant size prompting.
He was then revived by Wrench along with Nightmare. Speaking of which he appeared in the city with Professor Strickler as they're arguing of who's going to attack the Rangers first, but Nightmare notified them that the Rangers are coming. And if you remember the plan about switching the Rangers' bodies well it work as shown when they swapped Tyler's and Shelby's body around that includes both Koda and Chase as well.
Once that was done the three monsters then battle the body-swapped Rangers (which the rangers are having a hard time in their swapped bodies). A while later during the fight both Riley and Sir Ivan were arrived to assist in the fight, but the monsters managed to swapped their bodies around, but here's the downside they're both sword wielders as Game Face got attack by a body-swapped Sir Ivan after that the three then retreats the scene.
A while later he and the other two monsters appeared in the open field for round 2 against the body-swapped Rangers however they manage to overcome this, but Nightmare once again used the eraser to swapped the ranger's bodies around again and they were about to wiped the Rangers out, but the rangers dodge the attack and swapped their weapons around that suit their needs. After that the monsters were then ambushed by the arrival of Zenowing as he morphed into Ranger mode battle them. After that Tyler (who was in Shelby's body) destroyed the eraser thus reverting the soul back to their original owners. After both him and Nightmare got destroyed by this finisher called T-Rex Super Charge Victory Maximum Strike.
However he was then enlarge by the Magna Beam along with Nightmare and Professor Strickler prompting the team to bring out the Dino Charge Ultrazord to battle the three enlarged monsters. After that all three of them were destroyed for good by this finisher called Titano Cannon Final Strike.
Appearance
Game Face is indeed an alien made out of sports equipment as he has two helmets (which are used for fencing) as knee pads, a football helmet for the chest, a baseball, a soccer ball, a baseball glove, a boxing glove for the shoulders, a basketball and hoop for the head and neck and he has a ski pole, a hockey stick and a golf club sticking out of his back. Also right where the football helmet is at right at the center of it is an angry face.
Personality
Game Face acts very much like a gym teacher/coach,.

Voted Best Vendor By The East Bay Express
We were just voted best farmers' market vendor by readers of the East Bay Express! A big THANK YOU to all our customers for the support!Temescal Market Voted Best Market Happy Boy in the East Bay
Make the Market Connection
Farmers' Markets Contribute to Communities & Connect You to Your Food
Posted by Drew
Farmers' markets are the backbone of our farm.
There is nothing quite like the instantaneous sense of community that seemingly springs up out of nowhere on a farmers' market day. Watching as an empty, faceless parking lot or closed off street magically transforms in a matter of moments is wondrous. During pre-dawn hours, farmers unload their freshest seasonal produce, local artisans carefully display their crafts and food booths ready their mobile kitchens - woodsmoke and a hint of coffee hang in the early morning air. As the sun rises, what was once a lifeless space quickly unfolds before our waking eyes into a true neighborhood commons, bustling with activity.
This is the place for weekly rituals: the morning walk to market, a chat with neighbors along the way. As children and adults alike taste each of the sweet berries offered, excitedly choose from the freshest greens, listen and dance to the live music, touch the fine wood carvings and marvel at the handcrafted jewelry, their market baskets will soon be overflowing. The simple opportunity to interact with the different folks from all walks of life who grow, make, or prepare all this goodness and provide it to the neighborhood is priceless. A healthy marketplace is a sign of a strong community, created by vendors and customers together.
For us, waking up long before dawn and journeying the distance to bring you the freshest of the season is something that we look forward to and thoroughly enjoy. We like being part of the local communities in many different places. While our business depends upon market sales, growing great tasting organic produce makes us truly happy. And we honestly hope bringing it directly from the farm to your neighborhood, where you can choose produce picked so fresh you can taste the difference, makes YOU happy.
Farmers' markets are an essential element in creating sustainable, healthy, and thriving communities. The notion of an open-air market where farmers and artisans sell their goods is a surprisingly simple, tried-and-true model. This is a space where neighbors can mingle, make healthy choices, and create personal connections with those who work hard to bring them the food and nutrition that sustains them. The notion that these experiences occur and are brought to life for a few hours on a weekly basis makes them seem even more special, vital, and almost radical. By the time you’re home, basket carefully emptied and hanging from its hook, the farmers' market too is transitioning - much like a circus pulling up tent stakes and moving on - and soon will be gone. And the parking lot looks… well, really empty again. Until the next week, when the story begins anew.
Happy Boy Farms has been participating at farmers' markets in the greater Bay Area for over a decade. We take great pride in working hard to grow seasonal crops, and hold ourselves to a high standard of taste and absolute freshness. Certified organic from our beginnings, we set up our tents year round, rain or shine - and we’ll see you next week!

he digital currency is gaining acceptance beyond its niche audience. But financial executives looking to move Bitcoin onto the balance sheet may have a long wait for guidance.
The emergence of Bitcoin is spurring a group of accounting, tax and other financial professionals to force the square peg of digital currencies into the round hole the existing supervisory framework.
The payoff would mean first adopter advantage in the ultra-conservative accounting and tax services industry. The downside means years of regulatory and client headaches.
But for those willing to accept the challenge, accounting for Bitcoin is shaking up the staid industry.
“Accounting is not often this exciting,” says Charles Evans, co-founder of Bitacountant.com and a visiting instructor of Finance at Florida Atlantic University.
Created in 2009, Bitcoin is currency that only exists online. Without a central authority or bank to regulate its transfer, Bitcoin users hold any assets in a virtual wallet that sits on a computer’s hard drive or through a third-party broker. In order to purchase something with Bitcoin, the buyer sends a “key” through an encrypted network to the seller. The transaction can can occour instantly or in as little as 15 minutes.
The benefit of digital currencies like Bitcoin are twofold according to it’s proponents: security and zero transaction costs.Since all transactions happen with strong encryption, digital currencies are virtually untraceable. In addition, there are no transaction costs, unlike current credit card and ACH exchanges.
As users move into Bitcoin and other virtual currencies, some accountants are following.
“There are a lot of accountants that are hesitant, but this is a revolution in the monetary system,” says Ryan Lazanis, principal with Xen Accounting in Montreal, Quebec.
Xen accounting is one of small, but enthusiastic group of professionals attempting to apply traditional accounting and tax methodologies to virtual currencies.
“A typical accountant is not going to take the time to understand, so they are not going to pursue it,” Lazanis argues. “I see that this is the future, and although there is very little guidance there is some things to go on to apply existing accounting standards to Bitcoin.”
The lack of supervisory guidance on how to report, account and tax virtual currencies remains a major hurdle.
No official statement has been made regarding Bitcoin accounting methods, other than financial reporting for Bitcoins falls under “other comprehensive basis” of accounting since there are no generally accepted accounting principles for digital currencies. That was only revealed after several questions were posed during a Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Small Business Advisory Committee last December.
In addition, Bitcoin accounting is not currently not a topic that the FASB is considering to add to its research agenda, a FASB spokesman says.
Since there is little, if any, accounting and tax guidance out in bitcoin a small group of industry professionals are attempting to use their “best professional judgment” to navigate the issues. few accountants that are involved with Bitcoin who have decided to treat it like barter and hope for the best,” Evans says. “So Bitcoin is not really like yen, you treat it like chickens.”“From the accounting perspective, there are a few accountants that are involved with Bitcoin who have decided to treat it like barter and hope for the best,” Evans says. “So Bitcoin is not really like yen, you treat it like chickens.”
Lazanis says that Canada has also endorsed the barter method. “I don’t think that it easily fits into that category, but the Canada Revenue Agency had to fit it into something. It most easily fit for those purpose.” Having the barter method bring up issues of valuation, Lazanis explains, since with these rules the company receiving Bitcoins in exchange for goods or services need to follow traditional methodologies. “In Canada, you need value what you are giving up and not the Bitcoins you are receiving. If someone is paying you with Bitcoins for a movie, you have to determine the market value of the movie you are giving up and include this in your income, not the value of the Bitcoins you are receiving.”
From the CFO perspective, while taking Bitcoin has its risks it also has its advantages, Evans says. “Some are sending their Bitcoin to intermediaries like Coinbase or Bitpay, who will then ACH U.S. dollars into your account by the end of the day. So you are accepting Bitcoin without really touching it.”
The risk of accounting for virtual currencies goes beyond financial reporting issue to market volatility and the occasional bad acts. For example, earlier this month the once the exchange for digital currency, Mt. Gox closed its doors after saying that criminals stole approximately 850,000 Bitcoins, worth over $500 million, in attacks taking place over several years.
Although no public information is available, it appears that the collapse of Mt. Gox had nothing to do with accounting issues since there appears to have been very little accounting going on according to public reports, Evans says. “From reports of people claiming to be on the inside, it was an amateur operation from top to bottom that it didn’t have anything to do with the theoretical accounting difficulties surrounding the Bitcoin market,” he argues. “This is couple of D&D geeks that didn’t hire professionals, when big money started moving through the site that had nothing resembling proper accounting controls.”
And even those losses will need to be accounted for.
For investors, Evans says that the tax treatment would be the same as a type of “lost or stolen property” although that would be a small comfort for investors. “You don’t even have a website any longer, which means people have lost their transaction histories” Evan says. “Anybody who was surprised by this has been asleep at the wheel. Their problems have been known for a long, long time.”
Despite the fallout of Mt. Gox and the myriad regulatory challenges, there remains a engaged and enthusiastic group of financial professionals that remain undeterred from digital currencies and Bitcoin.
And although regulations may “take years” to offer additional guidance, Lazanis explains focusing on this market is a long-term commitment. “I am not sure if bitcoin is the future, but I know that digital currencies certainly are,” Lazanis says. “This is where things are headed and I want to be there for that.”

I read a study that if you add up all the hours a Mom works it is an equivalent of two jobs. I do believe that! When I became a Mom it was advised to me from my more well-seasoned Mom friends, to put my son in a Mother’s Day out at least once a week. When I did it at first, it was so hard. He would cry and I would cry. Then one day I decided to walk back and just check on him. And that little stinker was happy and having the time of his life. It was then I realized I needed not to feel guilty.
Once my daughter came along I decided to go back to work start my own business. That didn’t go as well as I planned. I was trying to juggle this business part-time while being the perfect mom. I am Super Mom you know, so of course, I could do it all. But I was constantly interrupted and not really able to take care of myself through it all. I eventually hired high school girls to watch them at home after preschool and elementary so I could have quality work time. But what I didn’t set were boundaries.
My office is in the front of the house, a converted work garage, that I had designed that way when we built the house. I just thought I would close the door and all will be well. My daughter mostly didn’t get that and would barge in. I would tell the sitter, "please don’t let her interrupt" but she was sneaky. So I bought a lock, but then she would slip little papers under the door and her non-whisper voice saying "Mom let me know you when you are finished!" How can you resist that?
What finally worked was a system called "Mom’s Time Out". Every day between the time they were home and before 5:30, Mommy was in time out. I had a sign on the door so she knew when Mommy was in time out. I then promised her time with me as soon as I was done so she could tell me all about her day and then my son would have a turn. I now have switched it since now they are both teens. When they get home I have a snack and check-in with them. I still have a sign that says “Do not Disturb” so they know if I am on a call or really working on something I can’t stop at the moment.
What I learned was my daughter and son really wanted in-person time with me but did not understand that it didn’t mean was anytime. By keeping my promise to speak with them at 5:30 each day I set an example for them to follow. It didn’t hurt that I called it "Mom’s Time Out".
Photoshoot 10 years ago they so wanted to be in the picture and how could I resist... I do miss the notes under the door since now it is me who has to do it.

The Broncos’ playoff hopes are on the line when they host Cleveland (Saturday at 6:20 p.m.) Here is a Week 15 whip-around:
Pressing question. Can Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay reach the 1,000-yard mark with games to spare?
Lindsay has 967 rushing yards (168 carries-5.8 average-nine touchdowns). He was bottled up by San Francisco’s defensive line last week, carrying 14 times for 30 yards. It was his lowest total since 18 yards (on four carries) against the Rams in Week 6.
The Browns rank 28th against the run (133.3 yards per game) and have allowed 17 touchdowns (tied for second-most) and 12 carries of at least 20 yards (tied for eighth-most).
For as much as Broncos coach Vance Joseph wants quarterback Case Keenum to be more aggressive, the formula for winning is leaning on Lindsay.
“He has really good vision,” Cleveland coach Gregg Williams said. “You have everything stoned up pretty well and he can find (the opening). There (are) several examples where the defenses were pretty gap sound and he has enough vision to press it to the one leak or one area. Then he has the speed and the open-field burst to make chunk plays.”
Lindsay could become the sixth rookie running back in Broncos history to reach 1,000 yards (first since Clinton Portis in 2002 with a franchise rookie record 1,508 yards) and only the third undrafted rookie since 1970 to reach the mark. The other two are Indianapolis’ Dominic Rhodes (1,104 yards in 2001) and Tampa Bay’s LeGarrette Blount (1,007 in 2010).
Spotlight player. Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett.
Among the 12 non-Broncos with at least 10 sacks this year, the Broncos have faced the Rams’ Aaron Donald (16 1/2), Houston’s J.J. Watt (12 1/2), Arizona’s Chandler Jones (12), Seattle’s Frank Clark (11), Pittsburgh’s T.J. Watt (10) and Kansas City’s Chris Jones (11 1/2) and Dee Ford (10 1/2).
Garrett enters Saturday with 12 1/2, tied for third-most in the league.
“He’s pretty good,” Joseph said. “We’ve faced a number of great ones. For a (left/right) tackle in this league, it’s like playing corner now. Everyone’s got receivers and everyone’s got rushers. We have to play with great technique, obviously have a plan to chip (Garrett) and double (him) on occasion because he’s a special rusher.”
Against the Broncos, Donald, Chandler Jones, Chris Jones and J.J. Watt had one sack apiece and Ford had four sacks in two games. T.J. Watt was shut out.
Watch for … The Broncos showing a pulse.
The Broncos came out flat against San Francisco, resulting in a 20-0 halftime deficit.
Offensively, the Broncos averaged only 3.6 yards per first-and-10 snap (not including a kneel-down) in the first half.
“Anytime in football, when you achieve a triumph, you take pride in it and try to replicate it,” offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. “When you make a mistake or get your lunch handed to you a little bit, you want to learn from it and apply those lessons going forward. That’s our plan for Saturday night.”
On defense, the Broncos allowed 311 yards and committed nine penalties in the first half.
“I’ll be honest with you: From a mindset standpoint, I can’t do anything,” defensive coordinator Joe Woods said. “I stress what we need to do to have success just from a game-plan standpoint and how we need to play. From a player standpoint, it’s just their self-motivation. If their mindset’s right and they’re ready to play early, that’s on them.”
Injury report. The Broncos ruled out cornerback Issac Yiadom (shoulder), linebacker Shaq Barrett (hip) and cornerback Chris Harris (leg).
Defensive end Derek Wolfe is listed as questionable, but is out of the league’s concussion protocol.

I just bought a really good new Logitech mouse and was wondering how I could prolong the lifespan of its feets to minimize friction over time. Is it necessary to use a mousepad? I ask as I just use a piece of printer paper for now. Also, if the feet are replacable, how frequently should I swap them out for new ones? Thank you in advance.

To people considering serving, Sprayberry said it is an individual choice. Unfortunately, some people’s lives are ruined because they realize they are not suited for the military after enlisting.The military works with people who may not be a “perfect soldier” to use them to the best of their abilities. “It’s a big decision. Those who are suited for it will enjoy it, have a wonderful life, and be proud of their service. If you try it for a while and decide it’s not for you, you can get out and still be proud of your service, then find what suits you best.”
“I’m just fortunate that I’ve so far been healthy enough to do what I.

Six days...2 safari vehicles...18 leopard sightings
My interest piqued by the high level of predator sightings in the Kruger National Park reported by guests at Nabana Lodge, I did some research and found that the current drought presents numerous and unique photographic opportunities.
Bernard Bekker from Private Kruger Safaris reported that they had 18 sightings of leopard in six days. Says Bekker: “During the past 17 years as a professional nature guide in the Kruger National Park, I have witnessed over a hundred predator kills, but seeing three in one week is exceptional”. Lions, leopard, hyena and wild dog are successfully hunting buffalo and other grazers, weakened by starvation due to the lack of grass during the current drought. With such abundance of prey, he has witnessed lion killing 2 zebra and feeding on the one carcass only and even eating only the liver and other organs of buffalo before leaving the carcass to the vultures.
The water levels of five perennial rivers – Sabie, Crocodile, Olifants, Letaba and Levuvhu - are critically low and many dams have dried up in the current severe drought. Water pools in the rivers are also over-populated by hippo, contaminating the already scarce water resources with their faeces. The water shortage is causing severe stress in animals and elephant have been witnessed killing buffalo at waterholes.
The aggregation of herbivores around water sources and scarce vegetation cover makes the weakened animals more vulnerable to the predators that are now thriving during drought conditions. Buffalo in particular are adversely affected. During the 1991/1992 drought the buffalo population shrank by 60% to 14 000 whilst other herbivores such as hippo, warthog, common reedbuck, kudu and giraffe also declined and rare antelope such as roan, sable and tsessebe declined significantly.
With starving herbivores and many carcasses found in the bush, the drought conditions favours the predators and scavengers and their numbers increase. Being ensured of an abundance of food explains the numerous sightings of leopard, lion kills, hyena, wild dog, foxes and vultures, creating unusual opportunities for photographers.
Whilst the effects of the drought draw a bleak picture, it is a natural cyclical phenomenon With the weak and diseased succumbing, the survivors ensure a strong gene pool securing the successful future of the species.

Dispatch from Reuter's (1940) More at IMDbPro »
Overview
User Rating:
MOVIEmeter: Up 31%
US TV Schedule:
The 'BIO PICTURE' was a staple of Warner Brothers (WB) from its inception. Now lets be clear about that, it does not mean historical accuracy. It was (and is) a form of entertainment that loosely uses real events and people and spins a story that was (and is) appropriate at the time of it's release. There is enough facts and truth in these productions to stimulate interest to those who wish to delve deeper. We suggest that A DISPATCH FROM REUTER'S may have a lot more in it then is shown on screen. For that you need to go to the library or catch something on one (1) of the educational channels.
What is shown though is very entertaining. Edward G. Robinson plays 'Julius Reuter' who created the first world wide information system. His performance like all those when he was interested in the role is credible and sincere. Edna Best plays his wife 'Ida' and also delivers in a way that is believable. The supporting cast of WB contract players of the time all do their job. Photography by James Wong Howe and musical score by Max Steiner is what you come to expect for such a production, professional. As well as direction by William Dieterle who was the WB's director of choice during that period for the 'BIO' picture.
The only fly in the ointment is the irritating performance of Eddie Albert's 'Max Wagner' as 'Reuter's' friend and irresponsible jerk. We will not catalog all 'Max's' shortcomings but lets just say this. Any normal business owner would have fired him or had him disappear by way of THE SOPRANOS! For some reason during the 30's and 40's this type of character was supposed to be endearing to the audience in a way that escapes us today. There is a parallel to this during that period known as the "idiot plot". A simple misunderstanding that if simply explained away would have solved everything in the first reel.
Other then that we endorse watching this film. If you can also catch DR. EHRLICH'S MAGIC BULLET, do so. Mr. Robinson also stars in that one (1) and the film is a stronger drama with a tighter plot. Rating for DR. EHRLICH'S MAGIC BULLET eight (8)********.

Aberystwyth based artist Ag Cain worked for many years as a freelance artist in the film and TV industry.
“My paintings are an affectionate modern-retro take on the advertising of yesteryear, when the claims and promises made by advertisers reigned supreme and unchallenged over such trivial matters as accuracy, reality, or political correctness... not to mention Health and Safety!”
Using Welsh roofing slates and working to my own unique designs, I create clocks, vases, pendants and candleholders.
It is a lengthy transformation process to cut, shape and polish the slate, but it results in a wonderfully smooth and tactile finish., is immense, and something of which I never tire.
I find my inspiration in the landscape and animals here in rural Wales. I live by the sea and spend my time in the mountains where I run art workshops at Art at Pengwernydd. I enjoy exploring different media, using whatever works best with my subject.
In 1993 a brain haemorrhage left my right-side paralysed. I’ve learned to use my ‘wrong hand’ & specialise in landscapes/seascapes.
Featured in "Artists & Illustrators" (Feb.1998), I’ve had work in Welsh Artist of the Year, Cardiff (2013), Kyffin Williams Drawing Competition, Llangefni (2015), & regularly in Open Exhibition of Royal Cambrian Academy, Conwy (prize winner.
Jeremy Moore specialises in the Welsh landscape and wildlife. His most recent book was "Wales at Waters Edge" (with Jon Gower) published in May 2012. The National Library of Wales has a large number of his prints in its Collection. His most recent major exhibition was "Bird/land", which showed at Aberystwyth Arts Centre during summer 2016.
Marbling Drawing from both European and Japanese marbling traditions, I make traditional and contemporary designs on paper and silk. Marbled silk scarves, unusual paper jewellery and framed images. A new range of ‘art’ coasters, make a small piece of original marbling very affordable.
I create my colourful glass from a studio near Newcastle Emlyn. Layers of glass, paint, pattern, texture and print make up each kiln-fused glass landscape, be it a panel or a piece of jewellery.
I am surrounded by endless inspiration – treelines, big skies, rolling hills, whirling birds and scudding clouds.
My paintings are lighthearted and colourful and derive from memory and experience. These I chop, change and rearrange but always strive to preserve what I consider to be the essence of Welsh seaside towns and countryside.
Jamie & Dodie Herschel have been potting for over 48 years as far afield as Cornwall and the Languedoc. Their work is inspired by skilled craftsmen of the past. In this age of mass production and machines, their work has a unique character that only the potter's hands can create.
Love vibrant happy colours & paint with energy to create a feeling of movement even when painting a still life or portrait. Using mostly acrylics I paint a variety of subjects from sea & landscapes to animals and portraits of famous people.
Inside each prime number resides a unique language with its own geometric geometric alphabet and rules of syntax. Use the language with an "idea" to get a pictorial narrative. I render these narratives to a variety of mediums including textiles, ceramics, prints, video and high definition audio.
I am an artist based in West Wales near Talybont where I live with my two children. I grew up on a farm near Aberaeron and have a degree in Fine Art from Staffordshire University. I have been making collages using ink, painted paper, pastel ink coloured pencils for about 18 years and have had various exhibitions, both group and solo in London, Cardiff, BristoI and Aberystwyth.

Brussels-based artist Hans Op de Beeck (b. 1969) works in a variety of media, seeking to re-examine and re-purpose traditional art historical notions such as the panorama, the landscape, and the German-Romantic notions of melancholy and the sublime. Op de Beeck’s sculptures, drawings, paintings, and films often consist of a simulacral and highly atmospheric architectural space in imaginary locales. These empty and anonymous spaces focus on the tension between the artificial and the real, raising universal questions about the nature of the creative process and the role of the artist as an illusive craftsman.

This Is Not A Film
An Experiment by Jafar Panahi and Mojtaba Mirtahmasb
When the 2009 protests across Tehran failed to overthrow the political dictatorship that has dominated Iran for over 40 years, many were fearful of the consequences that would reverberate for those who fought, especially those in the arts. Despite what many general Americans might think, Iran’s filmmaking has flourished for decades. When taking a class with Richard Pena, he told an anecdotal story that when Abbas Kiarostami would bring scripts to the governmental approval board, they tried to make stylistic suggestions more than changes for content.
But not everyone has felt as open in today’s Iran since the protests. Abbas Kiarostami has left his native country to make films outside the state. Mohsen Makhmalbaf abandoned filmmaking to become a full time revolutionary. Asghar Farhadi may have won countless awards for his masterful film A Separation, but the government has used its Oscar win to stir up furthertensions with Israel. And Jafar Panahi, perhaps the most political filmmaker of the country, was banned from being a filmmaker for 20 years.
Panahi, however, has attempted to protest the ban by asking what filmmaking is. Along with a conspirator, the documentarian Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, he has made a fascinating experiment in what might be called anti-cinema. Or is it actual cinema? That’s the point of This Is Not A Film, a direct allegory of cinema as political statement. Its mere existence might lead to Panahi’s immediate arrest, and while the fallout of the failed protests remains highly central to the work, the whole thing seems more theoretical in nature. What is film, anyways? Especially when it’s being shot with handheld camera and iPhones.

This article was originally published at tech.blinemedical.com
F# has a novel syntax feature called computation expressions, which lets you build complex monadic expressions with minimal syntax. Commonly shied away from, a monad is simple: it’s a function whose input is some state. A monad usually manipulates the state and returns a new state (which can be handed off to another monad).
Monad’s are maybe best known from Haskell, but they exist in scheme, ML, clojure, scala, and even show up in C# and other imperative languages.
While the computation expression syntax is cool, short of the maybe monad, and the baked-in async keyword, I wasn’t sure what I could do with this. Thankfully, I found an interesting post by Luis Diego Fallas who posted an F# code sample leveraging computation expressions to read binary formatted files. However, if you are like me, and trying to better understand the power of computation expressions, tracing through these samples can be difficult. It’s not because they are poorly written, but mostly because they are jumping into more complex usages.
To clarify what’s going on with computation expressions, I wanted to show what is passing through the monad. Computation expressions (also known as monads or workflows) can be tricky because you are overriding the language syntax. So what is a “let!” statement in one workflow is not the same as in another workflow. On top of that statements themselves can return a value, not just have a left hand side assignment. If you feel your brain start to hurt, that’s OK. It will get better.
An example
Let’s start with a small sample to see how information passes through the workflow. This makes it easier to understand what computation expressions are doing:
open System type State = | Current of int * State | Terminated type Builder() = member this.Bind(value:int, rest:int->State) = State.Current((value, rest(value))) member this.Return(returnValue:int) = State.Current(returnValue, State.Terminated) let builder = new Builder() let build _ = builder{ let! x = 1 let! y = 2 return 3 } let stateChain = build() let rec formatState (chain:State) = match chain with | State.Terminated -> Console.WriteLine() | State.Current(i, next) -> Console.WriteLine("State: {0}", i) formatState next formatState stateChain Console.ReadKey() |> ignore
Which prints out
State: 1 State: 2 State: 3
Desugaring
Before we trace through what’s happening, lets desugar the expression. If you aren’t familiar with the bang syntax, a let! statement will compile into an execution on the builders Bind function and a return will compile into an execution on the builders Return function. Let’s take the original expression:
let build _ = builder{ let! x = 1 let! y = 2 return 3 }
And show the same thing but without the syntactic sugar.
let desugared = builder.Bind(1, fun next -> let x = next // next = 1 since we took the input value of the bind, // and passed it to the next lambda let returnedState = builder.Bind(2, fun next2 -> let y = next2 // next2 is the value 2 here let terminatedState = builder.Return(3) //terminated state is now //State.Current(3, State.Terminated) terminatedState ) // the state here is // State.Current(2, State.Current(3, State.Terminated)) returnedState )
The important thing to understand here is how the let! statement is deconstructed. The right hand side is the
value input to the bind. Everything below the let! statement (and including the left hand side of the assignment), is inside of the bind lambda (passed to the
rest argument of the bind function). The first thing the lambda does is actually apply the left hand side assignment with the input from the bind. In this case, the first let! statement assigns
x = 1. Then it executes the remaining function, being the other let! and return statements.
Tracing it through
In the original sample, I’ve defined a discriminated union called
State representing the current state. This union has two types. One, called
Current, contains an integer as well as a link to the next state in the form of a tuple. The other,
Terminated, is a value that we can use as a terminator for our state link. The example is really just for demonstration, since by being able to capture the state it’s easier to understand how computation expressions work; it gives us a sense of where the monad has been.
Let’s take this one step at a time, with an even simpler example based on the above code. It’s important to understand the deconstruction. The compiler will translate our computation expressions into invocations on the builder.
To desguar it we take the left hand side and everything after
And move it to a lambda. This lambda is what is going to be passed as the
rest argument to the builder’s bind function
The right hand side is going to be applied to the
value argument of the bind function
Go back and look at how we’ve defined the bind function:
member this.Bind(value:int, rest:int->State) = State.Current((value, rest(value)))
Here the
value argument is 1. The second argument,
rest, is the lambda. The lambda is going to have to return a
State union since
State.Current expects an integer, State tuple.
When we execute the lambda inside the bind we pass the value (1) to the lambda, but we’ve also captured the current value. This means that this bind is going to return:
State.Current(1, rest(1))
So here we apply the value to the function
This is where the left hand side statement (x) now gets assigned.
Now what about
builder.Return(2)
Remember we defined the return function to return
member this.Return(returnValue:int) = State.Current(returnValue, State.Terminated)
So with our simplified example this will return
State.Current(2, State.Terminated)
The previous lambda now returns that same value, since that’s the last line of the statement. So we’re back now to the original bind function:
member this.Bind(value:int, rest:int->State) = State.Current((1, rest(1)))
But
rest(1) returns
State.Current(2, State.Terminated). Our final builders return value, in this example, is
State.Current(1, State.Current(2, State.Terminated))
All the computation builder syntax is doing is just sugaring our statements up to give us these broken up functions.
Back to the original sample. We added a second
let! statement in there:
let build _ = builder{ let! x = 1 let! y = 2 return 3 }
Now, hopefully, you should be able to see how the final return from the computation expression is a state object representing what happened in the monad:
State.Current(1, State.Current(2, State.Current(3, State.Terminated)))
Combine and Yield
Computation expressions have more than just let! and return statements though. Once you get used to tracing through and thinking about the computation builder, it becomes easier to start writing workflows. Just for kicks, I wanted to see if I could write a computation expression to evaluate a basic arithmetic expression. Here I’m using partial functions and the
Combine property of the builder to build out the expression. If you wanted to, you can even use computation expressions within computation expressions. There’s nothing keeping you from doing that.
In general, there is a bunch of reserved syntax that maps to specific builder functions. The msdn on computation syntax has these all defined.
open System type BuildTest() = member this.Combine(currentStatement, value) = currentStatement(value) member this.Return(value) = value member this.Yield(item) = item member this.Delay(item) = item() let builder = new BuildTest() type math() = member this.add x y = x + y member this.mult x y = x * y let m = new math() let build _ = builder{ yield m.mult 2 // 2 * (1 + (2 + (3 + 0)) yield m.add 1 // 1 + (2 + (3 + 0) yield m.add 2 // 2 + (3 + 0) yield m.add 3 // (3 + 0) return 0 // 0 } let run = build() let monader = printf "%s" ("got " + run.ToString()) Console.ReadKey() |> ignore
This snippet evaluates to 12.
You can even add precedence by evaluating a computation expression within the computation expressions
builder{ yield m.mult 2 // 2 * (1 + (8 + 0)) yield m.add 1 // 1 + (8 + 0) let parenth = builder{ yield m.mult 4 // 4 * 2 return 2 // 2 } yield m.add parenth // 8 + 0 return 0 // 0 }
Which evaluates to 18.
Tracing Combine and Yield
Just like before, there’s a bunch of magic going on here, so it’s easier if you follow along with the desugared version of the original arithmetic expression below.
let desugared = builder.Delay( fun () -> builder.Combine(builder.Yield(m.mult 2), builder.Delay( fun() -> builder.Combine(builder.Yield(m.add 1), builder.Delay( fun() -> builder.Combine(builder.Yield(m.add 2), builder.Delay( fun() -> builder.Combine(builder.Yield(m.add 3), builder.Delay( fun() -> builder.Return(0))))))))))
Each monadic function is wrapped in a
Delay, which promptly executes it. Look at the builder’s delay declaration – it takes a function and executes it.
In our builder, the
Yield just returns the same value. It doesn’t do much but we needed to implement it to use the computation expression syntax.
What we pass to the delay is an anonymous function that has a combine statement.
Combines take two things and produce a third. Here, we are passing the current partial function as the first argument (via the yield), and the value we want to use to evaluate this partial function as the second argument. However, the second argument isn’t actually evaluated till the end. The combine will then apply the second argument (an integer) to the first argument (a partial function that takes an integer).
For the basic arithmetic example, the final delay function returns 0. You can think of this as a “seed.” If you think of it like a fold operation, this is very similar. When we finally return the seed, we bubble each evaluated expression back up the stack (starting with 0), so read the desugared version from the bottom up. In this way, we are executing the current curried statement with the previous statements evaluated value in the
Combine method of the builder. Not the most practical application, but I thought it was a fun exercise.
If you are confused why this example’s desguaring contains the Delay method and the original example didn’t, it’s because the sugaring happens differently depending which builder constructs you use.
Under the hood
When you decompile a computation expression, each monadic function gets compiled into it’s own class representing a monad. In our arithmetic operation example, this is a Combine, Yield, Delay trio. It’s not easy to read since the function names have been mangled, but you can see the general pattern here (formatting added).
[Serializable] internal class runu004089 : FSharpFunc<Unit, int> { internal runu004089() { } public override int Invoke(Unit unitVar0) { return ExpresionsTest.builder.Combine<int, int>( ExpresionsTest.builder.Yield<FSharpFunc<int, int>>( (FSharpFunc<int, int>) new ExpresionsTest.runu004089u002D1(2, ExpresionsTest.m)), ExpresionsTest.builder.Delay<int>( (FSharpFunc<Unit, int>) new ExpresionsTest.runu004091u002D2())); } }
This decompliation represents the following sub-block.
builder.Combine( builder.Yield(m.add 2), builder.Delay( (*next function*) ) )
Notice in the decompiled block that the class name is
runu004089 and the executable expression is compiled into an
Invoke that returns an int. The decompiled assembly will actually be littered with these classes with mangled names, following a naming format of the target variable name (
run) and an identifier (
u004089). You can always decompile the computation expression to get a sense for how it’s been desugared.
Conclusion
I said in the beginning that monads are simple, but I’ll admit that I lied. Monads are tricky, there’s no denying that. Maybe that’s why there is no shortage of blog posts trying to explain the monad over and over again. But, in the end, once you wrap your head around it, I think computation expression syntax is a cool way of using the concept of a monad by decoupling what something is defined to do, vs how it’s actually executed.
I highly suggest running the examples and actually stepping through them bit by bit if you are having trouble following what is happening. Being able to see a desugared version of the code and using a debugger to inspect locals while stepping through examples makes it a lot clearer to see whats happening.

If you are curious here are some links to further reading explaining monads and computation expressions (such as the F# wikibook). Don Syme also has a few posts explaining things really well that are definitely worth checking out.

Computer Security Research with Human Subjects: Risks, Benefits and Informed Consent
Computer security research frequently entails studying real computer systems and their users; studying deployed systems is critical to understanding real world problems, so is having would-be users test a proposed solution. In this paper we focus on three key concepts in regard to ethics: risks, benefits, and informed consent. Many researchers are required by law to obtain the approval of an ethics committee for research with human subjects, a process which includes addressing the three concepts focused on in this paper. Computer security researchers who conduct human subjects research should be concerned with these aspects of their methodology regardless of whether they are required to by law, it is our ethical responsibility as professionals in this field. We augment previous discourse on the ethics of computer security research by sparking the discussion of how the nature of security research may complicate determining how to treat human subjects ethically. We conclude by suggesting ways the community can move forward.

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and recently announced democratic Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris are set for a formal debate at the University of Utah on the 7th of October. The debate announcement comes on the heels of Mike Pence attending a Arizona campaign event where to took quite a jab at the opposing party. "As you all know, Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have been overtaken by the radical left," he said. "So given their promises of higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine, and abortion on demand, it's no surprise that he chose Senator Harris."
"I don't know if you all heard the news, but on the way here I heard Joe Biden just named his running mate — California Senator Kamala Harris," Pence said as a crowd booed in response. "So let me take this opportunity to welcome her to the race."
Kamala Harris was recently announced as the Vice Presidential candidate to team up with Joe Biden against a Donald Trump-Mike Pence election. This makes her the third ever woman to serve as vice presidential candidate for a major political party. Before her appointment, Biden was reported to have considered other candidates including Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts for the VP role.

.
Unfortunately for them, they spend so much time on themselves that the whirlwind of other events in their lives make things crazier. At the end of the day, however, it was and still is all about the work.
The episode begins with Bill and Virginia recounting the times they’ve touched ever since the camera crew left, without having any ulterior motive of having sex. Virginia notes that after Bill’s fight with Francis, she comforted him by touch alone, and this led to them having sex that night. Given this, different approaches could inevitably lead to sex. But for now, sex is off the table. We watch the two engage in nonsexual touching, touching each other’s hands, Bill rubbing Virginia’s feet and so on. The two note that they still must stop before engaging in sex, but sexual touching does work wonders for arousal. Perhaps, Bill suggests, it’s time to move up to actual sex. Virginia is on board, but she will initiate.
The two continue noting their progress: seven days of nonsexual touching, Bill’s multiple erections, seven nights of touching and successful- and successive- coitus. It’s still too soon to consider Bill cured, though.
We then enter a dream sequence where Bill F. Kennedy returns home, only to find a crowd applauding him as he enters a convertible next to his wife, Mrs. Jacqueline Onassis Johnson. The car doesn’t get very far, as Libby stands in their way.
That morning, Bill wakes up to find Libby already gone. Libby is in the bathroom and disrobes while thinking of her night with Robert. When she arrives at the kitchen later on, Bill tells her that she left the water on in the shower. Libby’s mind is all over the place. She’s heading in to volunteer, though Bill thought she said she was done with that. Far from it. The leadership is in Atlanta to protest Dr. King’s arrest and she wants to do her part. As Libby kisses her children goodbye, Bill can’t help but notice something a tad off in his wife’s behavior.
Virginia forgets what it means to be on time, as she’s late for parent-teacher conferences while George has already been there, waiting. The teacher has already taken in other parents. George has some good news: his friend, Johnnie J, got him a gig at the Cosmopolitan Club. St. John’s Trio will be playing there for four nights a week. George proposes the kids spend more time with him during the week. Virginia objects since George just had them for six weeks in Europe- that was fast- but George just wants to do better. He says that he’s changed, but Virginia feels he’s only changed for Audrey. Virginia counters by telling George that she’s at least always been there for the kids, even though they both have problems. In short, she shoots down his proposal and sticks to one visit a week.
Following this, Virginia meets with Herb to discuss her shared custody with George. She tells Herb that George never even wanted kids in the first place, but he never signed the custody agreement. It seemed irrelevant. Virginia feels that George would back off at the sight of an actual lawyer.
Bill, Virginia, Shep and Lester watch a rough cut of the CBS documentary, and it’s bad. Many mentions of sex are omitted in favor of calling people ‘subjects’ instead of ‘sexes.’ CBS is fine with it, but the others are not. Even worse, Joseph Kaufman plans to publish a book entitled “Man and Sex.” Shep still promises that the documentary will come first and there will be follow-up press interviews.
At the C.O.R.E. office, Robert assigns Libby to the awesome task of addressing and stamping envelopes with the letters of intent that will be sent to the members of the housing board. How fun.
Bill and Virginia argue about the sanitized version of the program. In addition, they acknowledge that they have no substantial statistics or success on dysfunction. Bill tells Virginia that their work is not ready to be published, but Virginia brings up Kaufman’s book: if it catches eyes, Bill and Virginia being cut out altogether will be worse. People will see the film and remember the two of them as household names.
Herb then enters to speak with Virginia alone. George didn’t sign the custody agreement. Even more than that, he’s hired his own attorney.
Lester and Barbara enjoy a movie at the cinema. Well, Barbara enjoyed the movie and thought it clever. Lester, however, is more cynical and is not a fan of romantic comedies. He believes that since film is a form of art, it should be true to life. Barbara just wanted to forget real life for a moment, but Lester can’t: he feels he should just sweep Barbara off of her feet. But no, despite how similar they are, they still can’t have sex. They are still able to accept each other’s flaws, but it’s still upsetting. Barbara suggests the two just sleep together.
At Flo’s, Austin watches President Eisenhower deliver a speech. President-elect John F. Kennedy’s inauguration is this Friday and Flo needs Austin to watch the Cal-O-Metric office since she and her family will watch the next President of the United States be sworn in. Her brother has a job in the new administration. Turns out that her father is a big deal in Missouri- without him, Kennedy would not have won the state, as her father owns Packer Hardware, a pretty big deal in Missouri. Tomorrow in St. Louis, she’ll be attending a party for the Missouri Democratic Party.
Bill makes a phone call regarding Kaufman, but we’re not in on the details of the conversation.
Virginia and George have dinner. She apologizes for her initial reaction to George’s proposal, saying that she overreacted, but George is past that point. He says that their lawyers should talk. After all, Virginia wouldn’t want to walk into court unrepresented. Virginia wants the two to discuss the matter themselves, yet George has been talking- to Audrey. One day a week isn’t enough. Henry and Tessa have to know where home is.
Virginia believes that’s with her. George wants an unbiased opinion, so a judge should hear what a day is like for the kids. And given the court’s bias against fathers, if George wants to win a settlement with the kids, he’ll need to show that Virginia is unfit. Virginia proposes rearranging the schedule, but this is about more than the kids. It’s about Virginia’s job: she watches people fuck for a living and she’s having an affair with her boss. Granted, George has nothing to base that off of, but considering Virginia’s late hours, it’s not too far of a stretch. Virginia feels that George is just doing this to discredit her and the work she’s done, but this just proves George’s point: Virginia isn’t worried about the kids. She responds by throwing her drink in his face. Classy move, Virginia.
As Lester and Barbara prepare to sleep together, they first must get in what I think has got to be one of the most boring looking pair of pajamas I’ve ever seen. Oh, and Barbara isn’t ashamed about undressing with the door open, in full view of Lester.
Libby pays Robert a visit at two in the morning. Coral is still in Atlanta and insisted on staying there. Seems like a pretty flimsy reason to say Keke Palmer is conveniently absent, but whatever. Robert apologizes, as he must maintain some semblance of professionalism. He’s sorry about that night and how he allowed it to happen. He needs to take responsibility. After all, miscegenation goes against what they’re working for. Libby suggests he did it because of the danger that comes with being with a woman outside of his world. After all, what if he really wanted her? Libby, last I checked, you’re the one who wanted him to kiss you. Anyway, they disrobe and go at it again.
Betty gets a phone call from some Hugh Hefner guy, but Bill hasn’t got time for that. His loss, really. He wants to talk with Lester about an upcoming treatment he and Virginia have been working on. Lester isn’t interested since he and Barbara just took sex out of the equation and they function fine. Bill doesn’t see that as a solution. Lester is 29 years old- even though Kevin Christy is not- and would not sustain a romantic relationship without sex. There’s romance, Bill says, but sex is basic. His being will rebel against the lack of coitus. And even though Isaac Newton didn’t have sex, he was a virgin by choice. Bill is convinced that Lester would not want to live like that. Even though Bill has asked Lester to trust him before, with mixed results, he just wants him to consider a new way.
Austin brings up the fact that Flo has no date for the party. He’s fond of her and offers to be her date, but she says no. Her family is not like other families. He would have to be politically savvy. Austin doesn’t think that would be too hard. After all, he did go to medical school and is still a doctor. Plus, he’s always been interested in public affairs. He can’t fathom the idea that Flo would be embarrassed of him, but she isn’t. She’s embarrassed by her family. Huh.
Virginia and Libby share their woes, with Virginia telling Libby that she may have to quit so her work won’t be brought up. Libby points out that not only can George still take her to court, the lawyer can still talk about her work. Libby tries to imagine if Bill ever did something like that to her. She loves her children beyond reason, but that can’t be her only reason for why she’d stay. What if she just let go of all thoughts of how she thought her life would be? Virginia still believes that Henry and Tessa are happy with her, but she sounds unsure.
Bill finds an envelope waiting for him on his desk: it’s a proof of Kaufman’s book. He’s still reading it that evening when Betty is about to clock out. Bill isn’t impressed with the book- he finds it thin, conversational and there’s barely any data; all very similar to the CBS documentary. Bill is convinced that their actual film would leave Kaufman in the dust.
Following this, Bill takes the manuscript to Virginia, but she’s looking over the note cards and is not in the best of moods. She tells Bill that her role in the study may soon become public knowledge, so the two are about to make two public debuts: one on CBS and the other as amoral smut peddlers. Lovely. Herb has already given George an offer just to keep the study talk out of court, and it came at a heavy cost: Henry and Tessa. But never fear. Virginia is convinced that once the study hits the airwaves, it will show she’s a respectable and legitimate mother. It will show she has a sterling reputation worthy of helping her win back her kids. After all, it’s only temporary.
At House Johnson, Henry and Tessa talk about what they learned while spending time with their father and Audrey. Virginia tells the two that they are about to take an adventure. They like being at home and with their father, but what if they switched things up? Henry, naturally, asks why, but Dad just wants to spend more time with them. The phone rings and after a pause, Virginia answers.
We then cut to the office where Virginia joins the others, who are watching a presentation on Joseph Kaufman’s research. It mentions the word sex multiple times. Someone has royally fucked up, Tally says. CBS’ piece will not air. But oh, what is this? Turns out that Kaufman has a partner.
And it’s Dr. Ethan Haas! So that’s where Ethan’s been.
Virginia storms off and blames herself. After all, with the piece no longer airing, she’s lost her kids for nothing. Bill consoles her, telling her that all they can do now is get back to work. Priorities, this guy.
Barbara and Lester exit another movie, this one a foreign film. Lester has seen it four times, but he wanted Barbara to see the couple as representative of what he thinks they are: a real messy, complicated couple. With that, he goes in for the kiss. He then asks her not to give up on the idea that they can’t have sex.
Bill drinks his sorrows away until he gets a visit from Barton Scully. Scully called Ethan to remind him that he owes him a favor. The film, however, is dead. Barton figured Bill would be happy since he’s the one who wanted to sabotage his own work, but his study still isn’t ready for presentation. Had he known about Virginia’s custody battle, he might have thought twice about his plan. Plus, he never got a chance to tell her that he planned to kill their film.
Regardless, Barton reminds Bill that he’s a trailblazer. As was the case at Maternity when he first presented the study to his colleagues, Bill wants to change the world, but he ends up hurting the people around him. Barton’s life has been going well: he’s a doctor at a clinic and Margaret hasn’t left him. They decided to trust each other and took a leap of faith, so he told her everything. It’s tough, but they’re still together. Bill admits that he never meant to hurt Virginia.
Between the sheets, Robert tells Libby that this needs to stop, but Libby doesn’t see it that way. Why? Because she knows that her husband has been having an affair for years. She pretended that it didn’t happen and looked the other way, but then she met Robert. Whatever the two have, she wants to keep feeling good.
We then get a montage of characters watching Kennedy’s inauguration, with Austin noting that Kennedy didn’t wear a top hat while George helps the kids pack.
The season draws to a close as Virginia and Bill meet with Barbara and Lester, admitting that they failed them. However, this does not have to be the end. The two are making a protocol for a satisfying life. Even though Barbara and Lester have been asked to trust before, Bill and Virginia ask them to take a leap of faith together.
Well, that was another season.
This season has been about fresh starts, with Bill and Virginia trying to pick up the pieces from the wreckage that was Bill’s presentation during last season’s finale, “Manhigh.” Now everyone wants to move forward. The season, as a whole, built on the themes of Season One, but expanded on them: taking a leap of faith despite the risks, sacrifice, powerlessness, self-doubt, fantasy versus reality and the pain of loss.
One criticism I’ve read about this season is how uneven it has been with some plots having no bearing on the overall storyline, especially after the time skip during “Asterion.” The season took characters to a much darker place than the first season and added weight to their dilemmas, whether it’s Lillian’s death, Libby’s infidelity, Bill’s unwillingness to play by anyone’s rules but his own, Barton’s homosexual therapy and suicide attempt, Betty’s crumbling marriage and Virginia’s home situation. Personally, I think the show managed to handle these situations with care and allowed the issues to build over time, despite me not being a fan of how some- namely Libby- were handled. And I did appreciate the brief appearances by Barton and Ethan- his only on-screen appearance this season, I believe.
One thing Libby told Virginia stood out to me as a constant of this season: making decisions of our own accord and letting go of everything we’ve previously thought of, just so we can focus on ourselves. By throwing caution to the wind and focusing on our own needs, we become consumed with ourselves and ignore the people around us- the very people who we end up hurting. Like Barton told Bill, we may not intend to bring harm when we play by our own rules, but we inevitably do.
If Season One focused on building trust, Season Two led to broken bonds all around. Very few came out of this season unscathed or without some form of loss. Lester’s line to Barbara about how they are a messy, complicated couple could apply to almost every pairing this season had to offer. Many of the couples had issues that strained their already complicated relationships. A lot of this had to do with people keeping secrets, which did more harm than good, such as Bill sabotaging the project. We think we have a situation all figured out in our head, but the reality is we can’t be prepared for everything.
And while characters dealt with their interpersonal issues, there was progress made in terms of the study, such as the idea of sustaining a relationship without sex. It sounds ludicrous, even more so back then, but it adds a new variable to the equation: is sex needed for happiness? Obviously the couples that do engage in sex aren’t always happy- Bill and Libby being a prime example. Given how relationships without love and passion somehow stay afloat, it’s not a stretch that no sex could lead to something meaningful. Obviously that’s not always true, if we look back at Barton and Margaret Scully, but it’s possible and brings a new element to the study that I’m sure will be further examined in Season Three.
So Bill and Virginia want Lester and Barbara to try a new way. If there’s a consistency between this season and the previous one, it’s about Bill and Virginia wanting to open people’s minds about sexual response. Season One opened the door to that conversation, and Season Two was about proving that such a conversation is worthy of a lengthy, serious discussion in its most honest form. When you dilute or sanitize the message, you take away from the full impact of the conversation. And this is what Bill and Virginia grappled with: is the message more important than fame and recognition? Obviously so, since Bill was convinced the presentation was not ready. As much as Bill and Virginia would like to be first, they admit they have much to learn and more to explore.
Having said that, let’s dig into the characters.
Does Austin even practice medicine anymore? Because it seems like he spends more time at Cal-O-Metric. Sure, we have no real reason to return to Maternity, but it seems like he just showed up after being recruited by Flo. I’m still not sure where this all fits. Flo began as Virginia’s boss, but she’s been given more significance due to her relationship with Austin and family name. That point only seemed to be a way to get Flo to talk about how her family wouldn’t accept Austin. For now, Austin is trying to make the most of this situation. Elise is clearly not going to give him any more chances, and it seems like the writers are finding ways to keep Austin relevant. As funny as I find their scenarios, they don’t add much to the story.
And even though I know we’ll probably never see the brothel again, I am glad the writers decided to bring Betty back. Her marriage fell apart due to her feelings for Helen, but even that doesn’t seem to have worked out in her favor. When she came on as secretary, she filled Jane’s shoes, but has a sharper tongue, I feel, than Jane does. This probably comes from having to deal with so many men in her former profession. Granted, she doesn’t get anything to do in this episode except take a call from Hugh Hefner, but I’m happy to have her back and hope she sticks around.
Lester and Barbara. Wow. Barbara went from being a mild-mannered secretary to one of the more complex characters introduced this season. And, like Betty, I think bringing Lester back was a smart decision because he has something to offer when it comes to the study. Both of these two were made far more integral than they ever expected. Lester is still film savvy, but less awkward than before. With Jane behind him, his focus is on the study, and it’s clear he’s heavily invested in the message since he’s not a fan of the sanitized version. He acknowledged Bill and Virginia’s ability to change the discussion on human sexual response.
Granted, both Lester and Barbara wound up used as guinea pigs, but this helped make them more assertive on their views about relationships and sustaining one without sex. Barbara is more hesitant to this, but she’s willing to give it a chance. After what she discovered about her past, she’d like to put that behind her, as well. Christy and Brandt shined in their scenes together and while it’s unfair that Barbara and Lester were used for Bill and Virginia’s study, this drew them together in the process. Now the two must be willing to make a leap of faith, together.
Ah, Libby. And yes, this is the photo I’m going with. First off, I am glad that she is more involved this season than the last one. Yeah, she temporarily helped Jane out back at Maternity, but now, she’s grown both personally and professionally. She’s more vocal and outgoing instead of being the sheltered housewife. She challenged Bill on his need to complain about his problems. This affair with Robert is one of the few things she’s resolute in and Caitlin Fitzgerald’s performance is a major step-up from last season.
Again, this still doesn’t absolve her of how she treated Coral, and it’s pretty convenient that Coral wasn’t around for the finale. With the time skip, it’s almost like we’re supposed to forget about it. I would, if Libby hadn’t been such an ass. Granted, Libby does show some level of remorse, as seen when she talks with her kids, but she doesn’t let it eat away at her, like Bill does. I’m curious as to whether this will carry into Season Three. Even more than that, we got the big reveal that Libby knows that Bill has been having an affair and just said nothing about it. Sure, she doesn’t know whom with, though I’m sure she may suspect Virginia, but it was a nice wild card.
Bill certainly shot himself in the foot again. Maybe he shot the other foot. We sort of tread familiar territory here, where he realizes that his actions, selfless as he thinks they may be, hurt the people around him. When Bill goes down, others go with him. He sabotages the study on the grounds that it’s not ready. When it comes to the work, Bill wants to maintain his integrity. It’s why he couldn’t stay at Buell Green or Gateway Memorial and why he was so uncomfortable with CBS sanitizing the documentary- he has his own rules. At least he admits that he has much to discover, not to mention solving his own problem. We never really learn how and why he started meeting prostitutes, so that’s a storyline we could have seen explored.
Bill operates as a one-man show, but this doesn’t mean he charges forward without worrying about the well-being of those around him. There was genuine concern on his face when he learned that Virginia would be losing her kids, and when the study doesn’t go to air, all he can do is comfort her, but also remind her that they must get back to work. He never wanted to hurt her or Libby, but he does. Like the presentation of the study last season, Bill doesn’t fully grasp the error of his actions until right after they’ve happened. He needs to be in control and got it, but at a great cost.
And as great as Michael Sheen was, Lizzy Caplan was just as on point throughout the entire season. What Virginia said to Bill about their lives being linked rang true. Her priorities shifted between the two seasons. Before, Virginia merely wanted to prove herself and be taken seriously, despite not having the formal education needed to be considered a doctor. She also wanted to provide for her kids. She still does, but now, her focus has been on her reputation and the study. Consider, we saw much less of Henry and Tessa this season because they weren’t as important to Virginia as her work life was. This wasn’t on purpose, but it showed how she’s changed. Heck, given his mother’s absence, this would be an appropriate time for Henry to suddenly want to move in with his father.
As much as Virginia may not have wanted to admit it, George had a real point and she wasn’t as good of a mother as she claimed. When she throws her drink in George’s face, she’s only proving his point. This season has been absolute hell for Virginia: dealing with Lillian’s death, the fallout between her and Ethan, trying to justify the affair, and now losing her children. She was advised not to push back, but she did just that. As a result, she’s now suffering the consequences.
To sum up the season in a word, it would be “change.” This season took a darker turn than the lighter affairs of the previous season as Bill and Virginia strive to complete the work on their terms by taking a leap of faith. There are plenty of questions: how much does Libby know? Will Bill’s issue be solved? How will their work be impacted by Kaufman getting out there first? Will Virginia get her kids back?
And whatever happened to Dr. Malcolm Toll? He was brought in at the end of last season to fill Ethan’s spot, but he hasn’t been mentioned once since then.
If anything, there’s a real sense of optimism, but will things still be bright when we return? Who knows? We’ll find out when we pick up with Season Three of Masters of Sex.
Libby has had a thing for Robert ever since she first heard Coral’s story about how he satisfies her at night. She has been obsessed with him since then and I think all the things she did were so that she could interact with him. I don’t think she was a jerk just really lost, frustrated and trying to have control over something in her life… it’s a part of her development…
am, anyway, Libby and Robert are becoming my fav couple in the show! Rly hope to see more of them.

Murders this Year: 91
Thursday, June 9
11:17 p.m. Chad Anderson, a 26-year-old African-American man, was shot in the 3000 block of Spaulding Avenue near Pimlico Race Course. He died at an area hospital less than an hour later.
Friday, June 10
8:50 p.m. James Wright, a 25-year-old African-American man, was shot repeatedly in the 1600 block of West Baltimore Street. He died at an area hospital at 9:40 p.m.
Sunday, June 12
4:01 a.m. Police responded to a shooting in the 2600 block of Park Heights Terrace. They found a 29-year-old African-American woman shot in the stomach. She was taken to an area hospital and survived. An unidentified male was found in the alley behind the block. He had been shot at least twice and was dead.
1:54 p.m. A male was shot numerous times in front of a store in the 2900 block of Westwood Avenue, just south of North Avenue. He died at an area hospital at 2:20 p.m. Police are waiting until his family has been notified of his death to release his name.
Updates
On June 9, Antonio Edwards, a 28-year-old African-American man who goes by the nickname “Dollar,” pleaded guilty to having a gun despite being a convicted felon. According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, Edwards also admitted to the murder of Kinlaw Jones, a 21-year-old man whose race has been listed by police as “other.” Edwards allegedly shot Jones numerous times in the 1800 block of East Pratt Street in Upper Fells Point the day after Christmas in 2009. Edwards said he would plead guilty to the murder. If the plea goes as planned, Edwards will be sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Baltimore City Police Officer Gahiji Tshamba, a 37-year-old African-American man, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter on June 9. Tyrone Brown, a 32-year-old former Marine, left a club in Mount Vernon on June 5, 2010. He crossed paths with Tshamba, who had also been at a club. Brown grabbed the ass of a woman who was with Tshamba. Tshamba pulled out his gun, and after exchanging words with Brown, shot him 12 times. According to a Baltimore Sun article, the judge in the case believed that Tshamba was scared of Brown, but that drawing and firing his gun was an unreasonable response to Brown’s.

Fillet of sea bass à la bordelaise with poivrade artichoke
In keeping with the beautiful weather, I wanted to create a menu highlighting emotion and the carefree joys of sharing fine summer food.
The menu makes the most of magnificent ingredients: melon from the nearby Charentes region, field tomatoes, Mediterranean red mullet, king prawns from Saint Vivien in the Médoc, aged tomahawk steaks and, of course, the star of July: black truffles from Australia.
This is not to forget my famous sea bass with bordelaise sauce and poivrade artichoke that I suggest now preparing. Let's cook!
Fillet of sea bass à la bordelaise with poivrade artichoke
Ingredients: serves 4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
1 sea bass
15 g fish bones
10 g butter
1 litre red wine
5 g aromatic ingredients
4 Prince de Bretagne artichokes
50 g butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation for the bordelaise sauce:
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Material: a pan, a sauce ladle, and a conical strainer
Trim the aromatic ingredients (carrot, shallot, celery), drain the fishbones and cut them into small pieces. Gently brown the bones in a pan with the aromatic ingredients for about 15 minutes. Add the red Bordeaux wine and cook for 20 minutes. Put through a conical strainer then add more wine, reduce to the desired consistency, and whisk in the butter. Set aside.
Preparation of the purple artichokes:
Cooking time: 6 minutes
Material: a chopping board, a paring knife, and a pot.
Cut down the top of the artichokes by a third and wash them under running water. Cut off the stem and tie the artichokes so that the heart stays whole during cooking. Blanche the artichokes for 5 minutes in boiling salted water. Cool them down, drain them, remove the small central leaves and the inedible choke (or fuzzy centre), and set aside.
Preparation of the fillet of sea bass:
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Material: a chopping board and a knife
Scale the fish and remove the fillets, cut them into 120 g portions, and cook in grape seed oil at 46°C. Set aside and keep hot.
Finishing and presentation:
Arrange the artichokes in a deep serving dish, then add the sea bass and the bordelaise sauce. Serve.

Parenting a special needs child is a journey we would never have imagined ourselves on, full of heartbreaking lows and miraculous highs that shape us into stronger people.
If I had been granted the power of seeing the future 20 years ago, I’m not sure I would have believed the life I have today was actually my own.
I wouldn’t have believed it was me standing by the hospital bed of a critically ill child. I wouldn’t have believed it was me substituting my beloved fettuccine alfredo with vegetables in attempt to support my child’s gluten intolerance and associated behavioral needs.
Heck, as a special needs parent, there are still moments where I don’t feel as if this could really be my life — those moments you feel like you’re floating above yourself looking down, barely recognizing what you are seeing unfold beneath you.
Is this really my life?
Do I have what it takes is to live this life?
After those moments pass, we come back down to earth, realizing that indeed this is our life. I think it’s time we also realize that all of us special needs parents undoubtedly have what it takes to live it.
I know some days it may not feel like it.
I know there are days you wonder how many fewer tears you would have cried without all the stress and worry. How many fewer minutes you would have spent unable to sleep while consumed with fear for your child’s future.
But after these stormy inquiries pass, there is space to think about things in a different light. You start to remember just how different you are now as a person, and as a parent, because of the challenges life has offered you each day.
You remember you are a fighter now.
You remember you need to keep fighting for your child, and when it comes to supporting them, even if it means less sleep and bags under your eyes, you’ll take the bags any day.
You think of how although it may be exhausting, you will go to 1 million appointments and specialists any given day if it helps you to learn more about how your child thinks and learns.
You remember that no matter how many low points or heartbreaking moments you encounter in a day, you need to keep looking for the light — the moments of light that counter the challenges that can be dark.
These moments of light shine so much brighter when they are contrasted with the dark.
You recall your child’s accomplishments. You remember to grab a hold of their achievements and gains in your mind, letting them rest and proliferate there because you know that focusing on their strength and resiliency will make you a more positive and effective parent.
You reflect on how parenting has stretched you as a human being. Being a special needs parent has stretched you farther than you would ever have imagined you could reach.
Being taught every day by witnessing your child that there are new and fascinating ways to see and interact with the world around you. That just when we think we know it all and have a firm grip or stance, they expand our view to see more — more selflessness, more compassion, more vulnerability, more potential.
More beauty.
You realize your outlook has evolved.
You will always see beyond the exterior now. Things aren’t usually as simple as they seem.
You see the world and others as the intricate, complex and amazing beings they are because that is also how you view your child.
In light of these reflections, you realize that not only do you need to keep fighting for your child (and yourself) but that you can and you want to. You realize that although this fighting journey can exhaust us at times, it really is a good fight, isn’t it?
This fight we’ve had entrusted to us is challenging, inspiring and beautiful, and as long as we continue to have the honor of shaping the amazing human being we’ve created, we know deep down that both ourselves and our child are ever so worthy of the fight.

Consider.
We have witnessed something similar in the so-called Arab Spring. "Unscrupulous optimism," as Schopenhauer called it, led both the United States and the nations of Europe to embrace changes that have led, so far, to Islamist governments in Tunisia and Egypt, to the heightened persecution of Christians across the region, to the total destruction of Syria, to the murder of the American ambassador in Benghazi, to the destabilization of Mali and to a constant tally of death and destruction with no end in sight.
A small amount of thought about the forces that would inevitably be unleashed by the collapse of the Arab autocracies would have caused the Western powers to be a little more cautious in endorsing the changes. But in sudden emergencies optimism takes over. Political leaders choose their advisers from among those who already agree with them, and this is the primary reason for the irrationality of so much democratic politics. Dissenting voices appear, but only as "the other side," to be vanquished, or else in columns like this one, which our media have, to their credit, retained through all the mass movements of insanity that created the modern world. Just as Apollo protected Cassandra within his temple, at least until the fall of Troy, so do our newspapers protect scrupulous pessimists, who warn us, fruitlessly of course, against the passions of the day.?
Our approaches to questions of that kind have been strongly influenced in recent years by evolutionary psychology, which tells us that we are endowed with traits of character and patterns of feeling that were "adaptive" in the conditions from which human societies first emerged. And what was adaptive then might be profoundly maladaptive today, in the mass societies that we ourselves have created. It was adaptive in those small bands of hunter-gatherers to join the crowd, to persecute the doubter, to go cheerfully forward against the foe. And from these traits have sprung certain patterns of thinking that serve the vital purpose of preventing people from perceiving the truth, when the truth will discourage them.
I don't go along entirely with the evolutionary psychologists, who in my view pay insufficient attention to the change that civilization has wrought in our ways of dealing with each other. But I agree with them about one thing, which is that when truth threatens hope it is truth we usually sacrifice, often along with those who search for it.

By Jeremy Hay
An Oakland Assemblyman has proposed legislation to create new kindergarten readiness standards in state-funded preschools, saying the bill would give low-income students and those learning English an equal shot at academic success.
“It seems simple but we don’t have it,” said Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, author of AB 2410, which he introduced last month. “We’re the largest state in the country and other states have it and, frankly, we need it. We need to know what we’re trying to accomplish in early childhood education. The question should be, ‘How can we not have kindergarten readiness standards?’”
He calls it “a justice issue” that is long overdue.
Bonta’s bill continues a decades-long national debate about whether such standards succeed or, as critics contend, lead to teaching practices and testing that are unsuited to how preschool-age children develop intellectually, behaviorally and emotionally.

Today, I'm Grateful For Cameras!
I just ran across this random picture of my daughter and I. I say random because it was sitting alone in a totally unrelated picture file "folder" on our desktop. Anyway, this was us in the Spring of 2005 (OMG!!!), at the Dallas Museum of Art. We were playing in the old children's area. I say "old" because the children's area is a million times cooler these days. Anyway, she'll be 8 next month and I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. I'm so grateful we live in an age where it's so easy to capture a memory to share, as well as hold on to forever! Well, my own personal forever that is. :)
Look at those cheeks. Isn't she the cutest!?

Need to take a hiatus
I'm needing to take a couple of weeks of hiatus from the blog. I shall return!
MMM #37: Prize 4
Alan provided a very different solution from the others and provided a Matlab program for his solution:
I wrote a solution in MATLAB - I think its only uses standard mathematical functions, but I'll clarify if needed.
inputs/outputs
(x,y): as defined in your post
z: integer value at coordinate (x,y)
intermediate variables:
r0: which square 'ring' the coordinate is on. 1 is ring 0, 2-9 is ring 1, etc
z1, z2: the first and last numbers in each ring
s: which side of the square a number is on: left = 0, bottom = 1, right = 2, top = 3
l: signed distance from point to center of whichever side its on
t: angle made between point-origin line and side center-origin line
function [x y] = ValueToCoordinates(z)
r0 = round(sqrt((z-1)/4)); % which ring is it in?
z1 = (2*r0-1).^2+1 - 2*(z==1); % lower bounding perfect odd square (+1)
z2 = (2*r0+1).^2; % upper bounding perfect odd square
l = mod(z-z1, (z2-z1+1)/4) - r0+1; % distance along side
s = floor(4*(z-z1)./(z2-z1+1)); % which side of ring?
t = atan(l./r0) ; % angle wrt origin-side perpendicular
x = r0.*cos(t+s*pi/2-pi) .* abs(sec(t)); % r(t) = r0*sec(t) is polar line
y = r0.*sin(t+s*pi/2-pi) .* abs(sec(t)); % we know base radius and angle
function z = CoordinatesToValue(x,y)
r0 = max(abs(x),abs(y)); % which ring
z1 = (2*r0-1).^2+1; % lower bounding square
T = mod(atan2(y,x),2*pi); % absolute angle of point
s = floor(mod(T - 3*pi/4-r0/1e12, 2*pi)*2/pi); % need to subtract slightly less than 3pi/4
t = mod(T - s*pi/2-pi,2*pi); % angle wrt origin-side perpendicular
l = round(tan(t).*r0); % distance along side
z = z1 + (2*s+1).*r0 - 1 + l;
MMM #37: Prizes 2 and 3
Today I'm announcing two more prizes for MMM #37.
Here is IB Yea's solution:
The problem is to find the algorithm for the coordinate and number for the spiral that goes like the following:
25 24 23 22 21
10 09 08 07 20
11 02 01 06 19
12 03 04 05 18
13 14 15 16 17
Basically, this is how the spiral goes:
From the starting point, it goes -1 via x, then -1 via y, then 2 via x, 2 via y, then -3 via x
and it repeats itself like that so that:
x-0 + -1 + 2 + -3 +...
y-0 + -1 + 2 + -3 +...
This comes from the fact that the sqare enveloping the square below always has its number starting
below the top left number, the highest one, which follows (2n+1)^2.
If so, then it has to go 2n-1 down (since the number below the top left one is included), 2n to the right (enveloping the bottom part of the square below and jutting out),
2n up, then 2n+1 to the left to completely cover the square below and start the next square. Also, the one previous to 2n-1 down is 2n-1 left because of the smaller square.
So basically,add up the numbers from the sum above to find x and y.
The sum above is the alternating series:
Sum n-(1 to n) ((-1)^n)*n
The equation above can be used in the following condition:
(1)The equation above for x and y, n can be the same,
or (2) n in x equation is 1 higher than n in y.
With those conditions, you can proceed to find the numbers in between by just adding numbers in x for condition (1)
or by adding numbers in y in condition (2)
Then, using those same numbers from the sum, plug it in the equation below and add it in the following way:
n=1+(sum |x|)+(sum |y|)
For example:
x=-1+1=0 n=1+(|-1|+|1|)+(|-1|)=3
y=-1
x=5=-1+2-3+4-5+6-7+8-9+10
y=2=-1+2-3+4-5+6-7+8-9+7
Plugged it in n=1+(|-1|+|2|+|-3|+...+|10|)+(|-1|+|2|+|-3|+...+|7|)=1+55+52=108
In the above case, a summation formula helps.
Albeit this method is really bad if you want to use large numbers. 🙁
Although it helps if you use 2a=n (in this case, n is the term in the series, a is the "answer")
since it alternates like this: -1, 1, -2, 2, etc
Watchmath has solutions posted here and here.
Stay tuned for a few more solutions and prizes.
MMM #37: Prize #1
I'm going to give a number of $10 prizes for MMM #37. Here's the first to Alec Cooper for his very elegant solution. I paid Alec to look through all the submissions to determine which were correct. Most were. I'll be giving a prize to everyone who turned in a correct solution and I'll be publishing each of them as well, one or two per posting. No, I won't be giving double prizes to folks who solved both problems.
Alec solved both problems and even sent me some Java code that performs the second algorithm.
Here are Alec's solutions.
Here's part 1:
And, here's part 2:
Stay tuned for more postings of solutions and more prizes.
MMM #38: square or no square?
Results of MMM #37 should be out in the next couple of days.
Here's MMM #38:
Prove or disprove: The product of any four consecutive integers is always one less than a perfect square.
Don't assume the integers are all positive.
Still working on reviewing MMM #37
I got submissions from eight people for this latest problem. Yes, this problem was tougher than most so I'm delighted to have gotten so many entries. I recently started work on a big software development project on a very tight schedule so I've not had the time to check each solution for correctness and that's what's delaying the announcement of winners. I'm paying one of the submitters to check all of the entries. What he'll probably do is run the algorithms against a set of numbers and confirm that they produce the expected answers. In a few days I should be ready to award some prizes.
In the meantime, you are welcome to post your solution on your personal blog if you have one. I'm always happy to link to people's blog entries but please don't ever post your solution until after submissions are due. For this particular contest I will publish all correct solutions.
Even though I'm behind in reviewing this contest I'll still post MMM #38 tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Lawmaker: backlog delays expansion of DNA database
A key Vermont lawmaker says expanding the number of DNA samples taken into a state database will be put off for at least a year due to a backlog in the existing program.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has been considering a plan to collect DNA samples from anyone convicted of a misdemeanor. Vermont currently collects samples just from those convicted of felonies.
But Sen. Richard Sears, the committee's chairman, says public safety officials have told the committee that the existing program has a backlog of about 2,500 DNA samples waiting to be processed. Sears says part of the problem is a shortage of staff in the state lab that processes the samples.
And he says lawmakers don't want to add to the lab's workload until the existing backlog is resolved.

Genes.
That figure is high enough to indicate that the three genes are key players in esophageal health. That means that doctors at clinics like Georgia GERD clinics can screen patients for mutations in the three genes. Knowing that there is a mutation present in one of the three genes can help doctors decide whether or not procedures like transoral surgery are indicated. This discovery should also help researchers find ways to tailor specific treatments designed to compensate for the mutations present in the genes.
The news is especially exciting due to the extreme rise in the number of patients with esophageal conditions in recent years. For example, cases of esophageal cancer have risen by 350 percent in the last 40 years. Though these discoveries will not provide a cure overnight, they do give doctors and researchers a new sense of hope in the fight for their patients’ health.
The next step will be further studies to verify the results of this study. If the results are confirmed, then researchers can begin to design medications that take advantage of the findings. The end treatments that will result from this study will most likely be several years down the road, but for now patients can visit a Georgia GERD clinic to see what steps their doctors can take to help them today.

I am a mixin to allow you to be adapted in various ways persistently.
I define a list of persistent adapters. This is to allow adapter classes to store system-specific state, and initialized on demand. The getComponent method implements this. You must also register adapters for this class for the interfaces that you wish to pass to getComponent.Many other classes and utilities listed here are present in Zope3; this one is specific to Twisted.
Add a component to me, for all appropriate interfaces.
In order to determine which interfaces are appropriate, the component's provided interfaces will be scanned.
If the argument 'ignoreClass' is True, then all interfaces are considered appropriate.Otherwise, an 'appropriate' interface is one for which its class has been registered as an adapter for my class according to the rules of getComponent.
Create or retrieve an adapter for the given interface.
If such an adapter has already been created, retrieve it from the cache that this instance keeps of all its adapters. Adapters created through this mechanism may safely store system-specific state.
If you want to register an adapter that will be created through getComponent, but you don't require (or don't want) your adapter to be cached and kept alive for the lifetime of this Componentized object, set the attribute 'temporaryAdapter' to True on your adapter class.If you want to automatically register an adapter for all appropriate interfaces (with addComponent), set the attribute 'multiComponent' to True on your adapter class.

Wow - a third of the way through my 90 day challenge already. It has been fairly easy and effective so far, despite my whining after giving up diet soda. I will probably change it to an 180 day challenge eventually since most on the Zeroing In On Health forum claim that you should give it six months to see maximum benefits. For now, though, I'll stick with 90 days.
I expected a bounce up this morning because we ate dinner really late last night and I was up early since I had to work. I was up .4 pounds, to 189, which I didn't think was too bad. Even though I think the bounce was because of the aforementioned reasons, I am not going to try to explain every bounce any more. Last week proved to me that I have no idea what is going on just by looking at the scale. I am trusting to the way of eating and will relax when it comes to weight. If I start obviously getting fatter or go into an extended stall, I will then have to reexamine what I am eating and look to see if I need to drop dairy or something like that. But, for now, I am going to sit back and relax.
Yesterdays meals started with getting hungry while we were out grocery shopping. I bought a colby/jack cheese stick to tide me over until I got home. When I got home, around 1 PM, I had a T-bone steak and a couple of bites of the yogurt that we mixed up last week.
Dinner was eggs, bacon and three small "pancakes" with butter. The pancakes are Protein Pancakes from one of Dana Carpender's books. They are made from unflavored protein powder, eggs and ricotta cheese. They are very low carb but not in the spirit of the whole foods that zero carb entails. I didn't really enjoy them anyway and won't eat them again.

The Church.
About 280 A.D., an early-Christian House of Worship was established on this site, which, like many of the earliest Christian meeting places, was in a house (domus ecclesiae). According to the 6th-Century Acta of Susanna, the domus belonged to two brothers, named Caius and Gabinus, prominent Christians. Caius has been identified both with Pope Saint Caius and with Caius the Presbyter, who was a Prefect and who is a source of information on early Christianity. Gabinus, or Gabinius, is the name given to the father of the semi-legendary, Saint Susanna. Her earliest documented attestations identify her as the Patron of the Church, not as a Martyr, and previously the Church was identified in the earliest, 4th-Century documents by its title "of Gaius" by the Baths of Diocletian or as "ad duas domos" ("near the two houses"). It is mentioned in connection with a Roman Synod of 499 A.D.

Pope Sixtus IV (1475-1477) proceeded to rebuild the Church, probably a single Nave with two Side Chapels. In 1588, it became the last great rebuilding effort of Cardinal Girolamo Rusticucci, Cardinal Protector of the Cistercian Order, with construction running from 1595 to 1603. One of the objectives pursued with greater commitment from Rusticucci, as the Vicar General of Pope Sixtus V, was to renew the life of the Religious Orders.
A reflection of that action can be seen in a figurative programme decorating the walls of the Church. The main themes are: Defense of Chastity against corruption of morals and the victory of the True Faith over any temptation to idolatry and heresy. They were joined by the exaltation of the virginal choice of Saint Susanna and her prayerful attitude. Rusticucci wanted to highlight and connect these themes to the inseparable bond that his Church had with the Cistercian nuns, whose Monastery occupied the site.

Rusticucci, a lover of "tradition", chose from the best of that time, which came from the fruitful artistic outpouring from the Counter-Reformation. Consequently, he gave the assignment to Carlo Maderno (1556-1629) for architectural renovations made to the Church. It was he who was the designer of its travertine facade. The frescoes of the Central Hall (six scenes from the life of the chaste Susanna) are by Baldassare Croce of Bologna (1563-1638). To Cesare Nebbia, a native of Orvieto (1536-1614), can be attributed the frescoes in the Dome and Apse, in which are reproduced some scenes from the life of the Saint.
The Altarpiece of the High Altar, depicting the beheading of Saint Susanna, is by Tommaso Laureti of Palermo (1530-1602). Camilla Peretti, sister of Pope Sixtus V, was a great benefactor of the Cistercian Nuns, and helped build their residential quarters, including the Chapel of Saint Lawrence, whose frescoes are the work of Giovan Battista Pozzo (1563-1591).
The painting of the Altar, depicting the martyrdom of the holy Deacon, is also by Nebbia. Large statues of the major Prophets and two of Saints Peter and Paul are attributed to Giovanni Antonio Paracea, called Valsoldo. In the Sacristy of the Church, you can see, through the glass floor, part of the early-Christian Church and the remains of the Roman house, which is said to be the home of the father of the Saint. A Roman sarcophagus with fragments of painted plaster was discovered in modern times. The excavations also unearthed a tympanum depicting the Lamb of God on a blue background and flanked by Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist; a Madonna and child between Saints Agatha and Susanna; plus five beautiful busts of other Saints.

According to tradition, the structure became a Church around 330 A.D., under Emperor Constantine I, when the Basilicas of numerous House Churches came to be adapted for Liturgical use. The Basilica was T-shaped with a central Nave with twelve Columns on each side, flanked by Side Aisles. All that is left of these two Side Aisles, after the late-16th-Century rebuilding, are the two Side Chapels of the Basilica Church.
In the Synod of 565 A.D., the Church is first referred to by the title of Susanna; the Church has been dedicated to her veneration.

The Paulists opened the Office of the Procurator General in the city they held that June. Bonzano transmitted the request to the Vatican Secretary of State, with the recommendation that it be granted as a gesture of goodwill to the United States.

Since 1958, the Post of Cardinal Priest, with the Title "Sanctae Susannae", has been given to the Archbishop of Boston upon his creation as a Cardinal. The most recent such appointment was that of Bernard Francis Law, who, in 2002, resigned the Archbishopric but kept the Title of "Santa Susanna".
Pope Sergius I restored it at the end of the 7th-Century, but Pope Saint Leo III, the fourth Pope who had been Pastor of this Church, rebuilt it from the ground in 796 A.D., adding the great Apse and conserving the relics of the Saints in the Crypt. A vast mosaic of Christ, flanked by Pope Saint Leo III and the Emperor Charlemagne and Saints Susanna and Felicity, was so badly damaged in the 12th-Century, by an earthquake, that the interior was plastered over in the complete renovation that spanned the years 1585–1602 and frescoed by Cesare Nebbia.

A façade, in travertine, remained to be constructed. The present Church of Santa Susanna, on its ancient foundations, was the first independent commission in Rome for Carlo Maderno, who had trained as an assistant to his uncle, Domenico Fontana, the chief architect of Pope Sixtus V. In 1603, Maderno completed the façade, a highly influential early-Baroque design. The entrance and roof are surrounded by triangular pediments. The windows are replaced by Niches. The statues of the higher level (Pope Saint Caius and Saint Genesius of Rome) are by Giovanni Antonio Paracea, those of the lower level (Saint Susanna and Saint Felicitas of Rome) are by Stefano Maderno.
The Church of Santa Susanna was accounted so successful that, in 1605, Pope Paul V named Maderno architect of Saint Peter's Basilica, where he completed the Nave and constructed the great façade.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Graces (a former painting on the Altar) has, on its walls, two recent frescoes of Saint Benedict and Saint Bernard.
Domenico Fontana constructed the second Side Chapel to the left, dedicated to Saint Lawrence, commissioned by Camilla Peretti, sister of Pope Sixtus V. The paintings are by the Milanese artist, Giovanni Battista Pozzo (1563–1591). The Altar painting, by Cesare Nebbia, depicts the martyrdom of Saint Lawrence. In this Chapel are venerated Saint Genesius of Rome, Patron of actors, in the act of receiving Baptism, and the Bishop, Pope Saint Eleuterus.
The Presbytery is decorated with two frescoes. To the left, Baldassare Croce depicts the martyrdom of Saint Gabinius, while, to the right, Paris Nogari shows the martyrdom of Saint Felicitas of Rome and her seven sons.

The Commemoration of Saint Susanna has been linked in the Roman Calendar with Saint Tiburtius, 11 August (See Saints Tiburtius and Susanna).
Among the previous Cardinal Priests of Santa Susanna is Pope Nicholas V (1446).

We love your smile, and we want you to love it too! One of the biggest things people wish to fix about their smile is crooked or misaligned teeth. If you aren’t happy with your teeth but do not want to deal with the hassle of traditional braces, you may be a good candidate for Invisalign. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the Invisalign aligner system:
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a method of correcting crooked or crowded teeth through a series of plastic aligners. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are clear and almost undetectable while in your mouth. They are also removable, meaning that you can eat and drink without worrying about debris getting in your braces. Invisalign aligners slowly reposition your teeth over time.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign consists of a series of aligners that go into your teeth and gradually shift their position. You will be given new aligners every few weeks and your smile will slowly shift.
What is the Invisalign treatment process?
To begin your Invisalign journey, you will schedule a consultation. At this consultation, we will look at your teeth and make a comprehensive plan for your treatment. This will involve a digital showcase that maps out the step-by-step change for your smile. After your plan is approved, we will create your aligners. You will get a new set of aligners every one to two weeks depending on your needs and the stage of treatment.
How long does treatment take?
The dental needs of every person are different, so treatment time will vary, but generally, Invisalign will take about 9-18 months to correct your smile. When you visit your dental professional for a consultation they will be able to give you an idea of the timeline of your treatment.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign?
The age range of Invisalign patients is broad. Many adults who have never had their teeth corrected, or whose teeth have shifted since they’ve gotten their braces off, seek out Invisalign treatment. Children and teens can also be good candidates for this system. Come see us for a consultation for a definitive answer on if this system is right for you or your child.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign should not be painful, but you may experience some minor pressure or discomfort as you move to a new set of aligners. This is normal and can be controlled with over the counter pain medication. Because your teeth are gradually being shifted into place, a small amount of pressure or discomfort is expected and shows that they are working properly.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
You should wear your aligners as much as possible. You may take them out to eat, drink, and brush your teeth but you should plan on wearing them the rest of the time. You should also sleep with your aligners in.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
For most people, Invisalign will not affect the way that they talk. If you are having problems with speaking with your aligners in, visit your dental professional.
Can I chew gum while wearing Invisalign?
You should not chew gum while wearing your aligners. Take them out whenever you plan on eating or drinking.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
You should clean your aligners in lukewarm water. You can brush and rinse them and use Invisalign Cleaning Crystals. You should also plan on brushing your teeth every time you eat and before you put your aligners back in. This will help them stay clean and fresh.
I have braces, can I switch to Invisalign?
The short answer is yes, there are many instances of patients with braces switching to Invisalign. You will need to contact your dental professional to see if this is a viable option for you.
Where can I get Invisalign?
Invisalign is popular worldwide and is available in over 45 countries. But, we offer it right here in our office!
If you are considering Invisalign treatment, come see us for a consultation. Invisalign is a subtle way to correct your teeth and get the smile that you have always wanted. Schedule an appointment with us today to take the first step towards a brand new smile.

Only Gaia could survive that attempt!
I was thinking mousse as in chocolate mousse not styling mousse.
Yeah, I’ve tried styling mousse, not quite right for me. I mean why would anyone enjoy such a horrid flavour…
It’s, erm, Chocolate Ice Cream? :P
Moose Brand?
Haagen-Dasz. :P
Seriously, you’ll have to explain your moose obsession. I’m drawing a blank here.
While my eyesight is very poor the darker brown part of the bucket looks like a moose head with antlers.
it did to me as well. and there is chocolate moose ice cream out there. it’s delicious.
There is, in Bloomington Indiana, an ice cream parlor called “The Chocolate Moose”. (I mention this for the benefit of any other Dumbing of Age fans who have followed Plasma Mongoose here.)
i once tried Haagen-Dasz Rum-Raisin. it was horri-bad. do not recommend.
Aw, man, I feel so sorry for her!
Not too sorry, though… been stood up myself more than once…
Frivolesque is at 15! What a wild ride this has been!
But the month’s not over, so let’s keep voting and get 2016 off to a great start.
Our next goal is to get it in the top 10 and stay there for more than a few hours.
Baby steps, PM. Maybe next month.
It’s amazing. I don’t know how I made it this far. =D
And poor Liliane. She’s just unlucky in love. Considering she’s a good looking woman and all, something’s gotta give.
It was your regular readers that got you to the top 100, after that it was your art and story that took it the rest of the way as new readers discovered you.
You guys are precious.
but are any of us “special”?
Perhaps she should try dating women.
New avatar!
I knew this would be avatar-worthy.
I approve.
i’ll be a bit jealous ;)
I know you would.
:>
Congrats to making it through all of those strips featuring so many girls!
And one guy too!
Don’t worry. It’s not the last time I’ll do this. ^^
Sweet dreams, Mimi.
Mimi : zzz
i can’t believe i’m having such a hard time finding a good pair of glasses. i’ve tried 4 glasses shops with no luck. apparently rimless or thin and light frames are out of fashion. they all have tons of square or plastic frames, but nothing like i’m looking for. to bad i can’t ask Dez’s cast where they get their’s.
Mine are aviator wire frame safety glasses that I took the side shields off of and had regular prescription lenses ground for.
The bonus was that they cost me $6.00 each!
Check out “safety glasses” on Amazon, or any industrial shop supply house. You might find a style that you like.
dang. didn’t think of that. i wonder if i could just by frames online with no lens? the thing is, my insurance pays for 1/2 of what i buy. so i might not really save much money. i’m just having trouble finding a shop that sells the style of glasses i want. i don’t want no giant heavy frames! my vision is terrible and anything i can do to make them lighter is worth it.
T__T
out of curiosity, how many people get the jest of me coming here to complain about not being able to find a good pair of glasses, on a site about cute girls with awesome glasses?
I didn’t even make the connection, considering… you not being a cute girl and all. ;)
i think my avatar needs rimless glasses.
There’s a reason rimless or wire frames are out of fashion.
They look terrible.
Notice, all of my cast wear big plastic framed glasses. And most of them are actual real-life models too. They took ’em everywhere. Since those glasses are everywhere now. <3
What’s wrong with metal frames and are half-rim glasses OK?
There’s nothing wrong with them. I much prefer thin, subtle, frames. But tastes differ.
The tide of fashion will turn in my favor one day, before it ebbs away again.
Well, I’m glad that I dress to please myself and my girlfriends and not the fashionistas. Saves me a lot of money.
And they don’t think that wireframes look terrible.
Aw. I’m sorry, Peter. I didn’t mean to offend you. I guess I get passionate about the types of frames I like. :)
She doesnt even take off her sunglasses to cry?
Exposing weakness? Never!
Tears would only make her eyes puffier and scarier.
They are apparently already scary enough…
Frivolesque is still hanging on to 15th place.
Dang, i feel like eating pizza.
i recommend Vito’s in Saint Louis. best pizza i’ve ever had. or Hell’s Pizza in NZ. best pizza i’ve never had.

Walker Art Center's 2017-18 performing arts lineup: Guthrie collabs, free pop-up shows
A scene from Nora Chipaumire's piece Anna Lee Campbell
The Walker Art Center has a new Sculpture Garden, a new restaurant, and a new entryway. Now, the institution has a new performing arts season, with an eye toward artists from around the world.
The schedule features performers and troupes from 12 different countries, including Morocco, Scotland, Beirut, and Quebec.
“With national leaders stoking fear and distrust of the rest of the world, we feel that offering performances by artists from around the globe, including Muslim-majority nations, is nothing short of essential,” says Philip Bither, senior curator and director of performing arts.
Not everything on the schedule will take place at the Walker. Moroccan and Minnesotan women will collaborate in free pop-up shows around town led by Bouchra Ouizguen, Forced Entertainment (United Kingdom) will create an epic six-hour piece at the Soap Factory, and Zimbabwe’s Nora Chipaumire will turn a boxing ring into a combat-dance exploring masculinity.
Other highlights include Megan Mayer taking the reigns on the ever-popular Choreographers' Evening showcase, which highlights Twin Cities dance makers; Out There 2018 will return to help us get through January with really weird experiemental theater; Ali Chahrour (Beirut) will examine Lebanese mourning rituals in a Midwest premiere where the Walker has teamed up with the Guthrie.

How Google X is bringing Internet to Indonesia's 17,000 islands
An audacious plan from Google X engineers will soar over wired technology to bring airborne Wi-Fi to the Southern Hemisphere.
- Google co-founder Sergey Brin (r.) walks in front of a giant 'Project Loon' balloon at the Google office in Mountain View, Calif., Oct. 28. Alphabet Inc, the new holding company for Google, has teamed up with three Indonesian telecommunications companies to expand Internet access in that country using solar-powered balloons.Yudhi Mahatma/Antara Foto/ReutersView Caption

Google is literally soaring.
"Project Loon," will bring Internet to four million unconnected people in Indonesia’s 17,000 islands by next year, the company announced Wednesday.
Google plans to launch powered balloons able to transmit a signal to ground stations. Test balloons have already survived 10 million miles of test drives across Indonesia's treacherous jungles and mountains.
"Through balloon-to-balloon communication, Project Loon has the capability to transmit signal from areas that are connected to an Internet groundstation and bounce that signal across a constellation of balloons and back down to even the most remote islands," the Google X team posted on G+.
"In flight testing, the Loon team has already been able to wirelessly transfer data between individual balloons floating over 100 km [60 miles] apart in the stratosphere, enabling local network operators to extend their Internet service into areas that are too difficult to reach with current technology."
The Loons flew well in New Zealand, California, and parts of Brazil, but to connect Indonesia’s 250 million people? It's a challenge.
After first using software algorithms to determine where Loon balloons need to fly, the engineers launch balloons 10 miles above the Earth’s surface into the stratosphere.
Google is on course to have a ring of these balloons encircling the Earth at high Southern latitudes.
Internet access is currently impossible in many parts of Indonesia, where an estimated one in three people are on the web. Even where the technology is in place, government censorship can limit access. Earlier this year, Reddit and Vimeo were blocked by certain ISPs in Indonesia for containing "R-rated content."
The Google X team doesn't seemed bothered by the challenges. In fact, they're expanding the balloon plan in other parts of Asia, including Sri Lanka. And last month, Google announced it would bring high-speed public wireless Internet to over 400 train stations across India.
The Project Loon website offers few details, describing its project as "designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after disasters."
This isn't the first audacious plan cooked up by the Google X team, a semi-secretive team that works out of a remote facility in northern California. They have also created self-driving cars, drones, and contact lenses that monitor glucose levels.
Their mission seems to be innovation beyond imagination.
Project Loon comes close to being a literal castle in the clouds. Loon’s balloons are helium-filled "superpressure" balloons developed from a US Air Force model created in the 1950s. NASA has experimented with a similar model that might one day fly over Mars.
Project Loon is just one piece of "our longer term goal of providing a continuous ring of connectivity in partnership with mobile network operators around the globe and, hopefully, bringing the power of the Internet to millions of individuals, wherever they are, for the very first time," according to the company's G+ post.
As Google’s co-founder Sergey Brin, overseer of Google X, said, "The emotional distance of the world is shrinking, thanks to the communications we enjoy today."

I wanted to replace the WordPress search engine with the Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) for better results and to take advantage of Adsense for Search. While there are several CSE integration tutorials for WordPress and even a plugin, none specifically addressed Woo Themes. My efforts were further frustrated because the coding strategies outlined in the existing tutorials didn’t entirely work for me and the WordPress plugin failed to install with a PHP parse error.
My requirements for Google Custom Search are:
- Search box must appear in the same position as the default search box to the top right in the theme header.
- Due to the limited width of the FreshNews DIV element (block level container) in the header for the search box, the “Search” button needed to appear below the text input control instead of to the right.
- The side bar must not be displayed on the Google Search Results page, because Google takes the full page width (600 pixels) and the sidebar will overlay the search results.
Go to to see the Google Custom Search integration with FreshNews. The following illustrates the Search Box and Results pages:
and the Google Custom Search results page for the word “toto”:
How to add Google Custom Search to the FreshNews Theme
- Go to and register for an account. If you already have an Adsense account, login with those credentials.
- Create a New Search Engine.
- Under the “Look and Feel” tab, choose the first style with the watermark. Click on the following image for a larger view.
On the Code tab:
- choose the iframe option;
- specify a URL
- place advertising on the Right.
Copy the “Search box code” and “Search results code”. The code samples for my site are:
Search box code
<style type="text/css">@import url();</style><div class="cse-branding-bottom" style="background-color:#000000;color:#FFFFFF"><div class="cse-branding-form"><form action="" id="cse-search-box"><div><input type="hidden" name="cx" value="006667729864162168081:5u85mytsil8" /><input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:9" /><input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" /><input type="text" name="q" size="31" /><input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" /></div></form></div><div class="cse-branding-logo"><img src="" alt="Google" /></div><div class="cse-branding-text">Custom Search</div></div>
Note the key value highlighted above in red will be different for your web site.
Search result code
>
Click on the Make Money tab to link the Custom Search Engine (CSE) to your Adsense account. My CSE has already been linked with my Adsense account.
Create a Search Page
Make a full backup of your Wordpress site.
Login as the Site Admin to your WordPress blog.
Create a new page named Search.
- Edit the post slug if needed to ensure Permalink is
- Click the HTML tab
- Paste the Google Search result code.
- Keep the default page template.
- Write down the Page ID as given in the URL of the web browser because it will be needed later. The Page ID is the number after the “post=” argument. In my case, the Search Page ID is 7:
- Save and publish the page.
Click on the image below for a full size view.
Changes to header.php
Edit the header.php file in the freshnews theme directory (e.g. /public_html/wp-content/themes/freshnews/header.php). The Search page will be excluded from the main menu; and the theme default search box code will be replaced the Google Custom Search box code.
The Search page will be shown by default in the menu bar at the very top of the web site. If a visitor to your site clicks on the Search menu item, an empty Search page will be displayed which is confusing to your visitor. To remove the Search page from the header menu, add the &exclude=<your Search Page ID> to the wp_list_pages() function as shown. Recall the Search Page ID was written down when the Search page was created (see above). The Page ID for my Search page is 7.
Replace the default search box code in header.php as highlighted:
with the Google Search box code as shown below. Also add the <br> HTML code as indicated to move the Search box submit button below the text input control.
The modified header.php file for my site is here: header.php
Remember: Your Search page URL, Page ID and Adsense Publisher ID values will be different from mine and should be changed in your version of header.php. Or you can use mine if you like giving me your Adsense revenue. (smile)
Changes to page.php
Edit the page.php template to disable the sidebar on the Search result page, otherwise the sidebar will overlay the Google search results. The new code logic checks the page slug to determine if this is the Search page.
The modified page.php file for my site is here: page.php
Save and test your new Google Custom Search Engine.
Remember, to re-edit the header.php and page.php templates if you install a FreshNews theme update.
Hope this helps,
Bob Jackson

Great guide. Thank you very much.
A small tip: Could you perhaps put the code in the post as well? It’ll save us the trouble from going back and forth between the post and editing.
Thank you again
February 25th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Sure! I’ve revised the tutorial to:
1) Remove the Search menu item from the main menu. All searches should done via the new Google Custom Search control and not by the menu bar. By default, Woo Themes displays pages as menu items and clicking ‘Search’ on the menu bar simply displayed an empty page, confusing the visitor.
2) Added links to the modified header.php and page.php files.
Your welcome,
Bob Jackson, HandyManHowTo.com

Hello, you can tell me how to add a 300×250 adsense block in this template?
March 10th, 2009 at 4:17 am
I use the Adsense Manager plugin by Martin Fitzpatrick. You can get it here.

Bob, thanks so much for taking the time to put together such a detailed guide. I was truly stumped on how to properly implement custom search until I read your post.

John Keells Foundation conducted a successful public transport campaign on 26th November 2018 to coincide with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, for the third successive year.
This year’s campaign targeted bus commuters within the Colombo City limits through a sticker and leaflet campaign with the approval and cooperation of both the Sri Lanka Transport Board and Western Province Provincial Road Passenger Transport Authority. Teams of volunteers from the John Keells Group carried out the campaign at the busiest bus depots in Colombo – SLTB’s Pettah Central Bus Complex and the Borella Bus Depot as well as the private bus terminals in Bastian Mawatha and Gunasinghepura throughout the day to create awareness.
This year’s campaign was carried out under the theme ‘See it, Report it, Prevent it’ encouraging all to report sexual harassment when they see in order to prevent it. The campaign raised awareness on the National Transport Commission hotline 1955, police hotlines 119 / 011 2 444 444 and the related app developed by Women In Need (WIN). Under the campaign 1500 stickers in Sinhala and Tamil were pasted while approximately 28,000 information cards were distributed amongst commuters by 75 staff volunteers. The campaign is estimated to have reached of over 100,000 commuters. The public campaign was complemented by an internal poster campaign covering all businesses of the John Keells Group including customer<<

The next nugget to be unearthed from the lead mountain was yet another Grenadier sculpt (they were the largest distributor of figures in the 1980's):
As with all of the later Grenadier sculpts, it is beautifully detailed and has an interesting pose - it looks as if it has just caught the scent of its next victim!
An easy figure to paint, too - base coats of red and yellow, then ink washes and finally dry brushing to finish. I put it on a 45mm base to be consistent with the rest of my mini's, but that left the ends of the base a bit bare - hence the skull and bones, which are just spare bits from a plastic skeleton.
Pleased with the way this one turned out!

Shooting the blimp and the sunset
On Saturday gone, I was shooting the sunset up at the cross and arch on Mount St. Benedict (monastery).
(N.B. I hadn't actually started shooting at the time I took this photo. Physically impossible since the lens cover is still on).
Note the plane (BWee?) appearing as a small dot in the sky.
When I first got to the Mount that afternoon, the new red and blue blimp was floating over Champs Fleurs.
It then drifted (very!) noisily past the Mount and spent some time hovering over Tunapuna and environs ... before making its way back to the POS area. My video footage (one hour of it) features roughly five minutes of the blimp's distant, egg-shaped silhouette moving slowly across the space under the arch. Anyone watching the footage (who does not know about the blimp) may begin to believe in UFO's.

What is your take on the blimp? do you think it is worth it? and if you were the prime Minister of your country what steps would you put in place to deal with the issues affected our island?
Words from the Wise
No, I don't think the blimp is worth it. What has it achieved by 'patrolling the skies'? People see it as a joke, not as a crime-fighting mechanism.
Re if I were PM ... (apart from all the obvious things like revise laws, clean up the police force, etc.) ...
I'll address this question in tomorrow's post.

U.S. Dollar vs Precious metals
US Dollar Index seems to be ready to rebound on Wednesday after the regular session opening. The market is reversing earlier weakness ahead of the first day of Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s first day of testimony before the Congress. Based on the current price and the earlier price actions the direction of the index is likely to turn from weaker position to the higher level in the short-term perspective. Gold price held steady on Wednesday as investors are awaiting testimony from US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and central bank officials expressed caution about further interests rate hikes. Any pause in US interest rate would be highly beneficial for gold price and help it to recover. Among other precious metals: silver rose about 0.75 %, platinum and palladium prices gained over 1% in an early trading session.
Stock Market Today
U.S. stocks on Wednesday opened higher S&P 500 2439.00 (+0.55%) and NASDAQ Index 6243.03 (+0.84%), Dow Jones Industrial Average 21500.97 (+0.43%).
Wall Street main indexes advanced on Wednesday, after the release of prepared congressional testimony by Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen who said earlier that the interest rate increases will be gradual and would not need to rise much further.
The latest political news about the emails between Donald Trump Jr that were framed as part of the Russian government’s support for Donald Trump added some tension in stock markets, offering warnings that investors should be aware of all upcoming changes.

Munro College in St. Elizabeth emerged the winning school in the Jamaica Information Service (JIS) Regional Heritage Debate Competition, which was held recently at Cecil Charlton Hall in Mandeville.
In second place was last year’s champion, Hampton High, with first time entrants St. Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS), placing third.
Five schools from the parishes of St. Elizabeth and Manchester participated in the competition where they debated the moot: ‘Be it resolved that the works and teaching of National Hero Marcus Moziah Garvey are critical to the building of modern Jamaica’. The first speaker for the Munro Team, Darren Andrews was adjudged best speaker by the panel of judges.
Beverley Powell, Chief Judge for the competition had high praises for the winning team. “I was really impressed with the young men from Munro College who, through teamwork, good research technique and articulate delivery, took the title,” she said.
Mrs. Powell noted that overall the standard for the competition was very high. “The JIS must be commended for the amount of time and effort that has obviously gone into preparing and executing today’s activity, which will certainly go a long way in helping to foster better awareness among young people about the life and work of Marcus Garvey,” she stated.
JIS Regional Services Manager, Winsome Vanhorne-Christie, said the competition was started seven years ago to bring about greater understanding among students about the life and ideas of the National Heroes and Heroine, “as without a strong sense of patriotism, there is very little hope for the promulgation of our Jamaican heritage.” Mrs. Christie thanked the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPSCo.) for agreeing to be the main sponsors of the competition this year.
“With this sort of partnership, we know that the future for the programme is very bright and in fact. She announced that a national play off was being planned for St. Ann, which would see the six regional champions competing against each other.
Sponsors of the St. Elizabeth/Manchester leg of the competition were Fontana Pharmacy, Stephenson’s Flower Shop, James Flower Shop, Acorn Book Store, Villa Bella Hotel, International Chinese Restaurant, Manchester Parish Library, Christiana Glass and Hardware Supplies, Hugh Nash and Black Brothers Incorporated.

HPrep gets 'Taque-over they needed
HUNTINGTON -- Huntington Prep boys basketball player Montaque Gill-Caesar isn't exactly sure what his future will hold, but there was one thing he was certain of heading into Sunday's game.
If there was a chance that it might be his last game in Huntington, Gill-Caesar wanted to leave Irish fans something to remember him by. It could've been called "The 'Taque-over."
Gill-Caesar finished with 27 points and nine rebounds to lead the Irish in a 71-61 win over Legacy Charter (S.C.) on Senior Day at Huntington St. Joe.
"I just wanted to leave everything on the court really because it is possible my last game in this gym and in Huntington," Gill-Caesar said. "This place has become a second home to me, so playing in this game, you don't want to take it for granted."
The current top 20 member of the recruiting Class of 2015 could reclassify to the Class of 2014, so Huntington Prep honored him with its other four seniors -- JaQuan Lyle, Jalen Lindsey, Josh Perkins and Coleman Spann -- on Sunday.
This was not your average Senior Day in which the outcome is essentially a formality, however.
Greenville, S.C.-based Legacy Charter came in with a 34-8 record and featured quickness and athleticism at each spot on the floor.
Huntington Prep led by 13 midway through the third quarter following a 6-0 burst that included a pair of baskets by Gill-Caesar and another by Lyle, but Legacy Charter cut the deficit to 55-53 following a 3-pointer with 4:00 left.
On the ensuing possession, Gill-Caesar spun toward the baseline and went to his left hand to bank home a 7-foot runner to push the lead back to two possessions before Thomas Bryant went to work with a pair of offensive rebounds for a layup to provide a cushion.
The Irish hit 12-of-14 free throws down the stretch to earn the win and move to 27-4 on the year.
"You need challenged, need pushed and need adversity to hit in the middle of a game," Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford said. "This game will only help us because it was a high-level basketball game. They were one of the more athletic, physical teams that we've played all year. They were well-coached and had quick guards."
Bryant finished with 11 rebounds -- seven in the final five minutes -- after overcoming a scary moment in the third period.
The 6-foot-10 power forward dove for a loose ball and hit his head on a concrete wall in the St. Joe gym, leaving him down for several minutes.
He returned with just more than six minutes left and helped the Irish by out-muscling Legacy Charter's smaller post players off of missed shots.
"He played well down the stretch when we needed him to," Fulford said. "He wasn't the normal Thomas Bryant for the whole game, but that last stretch, he rebounded well, was physical, got some putbacks and blocked a couple of shots."
Huntington Prep led 38-26 at halftime after Perkins found Lyle for a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Lyle had 19 points, 10 assists and five rebounds while Fulford also pointed to Perkins and Lindsey as players who fought hard throughout the contest.
Perkins, the Gonzaga commit, had a stomach bug and was sick pre-game but gutted out a performance to aid the victory.
Lindsey was a defensive stalwart and limited Alex Mills, Legacy Charter's leading scorer, to 3-for-14 shooting and 14 points.
The contest was the last on Huntington Prep's 2013-14 regular-season schedule. Now the team's focus turns to whether Senate Bill 540 -- a.k.a. the "Huntington Prep" Bill -- will be heard by the House Education Committee in the West Virginia Legislature.
The bill would allow Huntington Prep to be recognized as a college preparatory program At 27-4, the Irish have a chance to be included in the Dick's Sporting Goods High School National Tournament.
A Sunday loss might have knocked the Irish from consideration.
"The guys understood that this was the game that could put them in the tournament or out of the tournament," Fulford said. "We played it like it was a win-and-advance game."
The Dick's Sporting Goods High School National Tournament is expected to release invitations to teams on March 10.
LEGACY CHARTER 15 11 16 19 -- 61: Sherman 8, Ellis 7, Mills 14, Maddox 5, Burton 4, Moses 13, Pinson 10.
HUNTINGTON PREP 20 18 13 20 -- 71: Gill-Caesar 27, Perkins 7, Lyle 19, Lindsey 8, Bryant 7, Bridges.

Whenever you Google “affiliate marketing,” most of the results that come up are companies trying to sell you on how you can make quick money fast. However, as an experienced affiliate marketer, I can promise you there is no such thing. In fact, though being in affiliate marketing has been the dream business for me, there are some disadvantages of affiliate marketing. So instead of trying to sell you on some big promises, I thought I would talk a bit about some of these downsides so you can have a more realistic picture of the industry. So here are what I consider to be some of the disadvantages of affiliate marketing.
It Takes Awhile To Get Established
In spite of what many of the “guru’s” and product-pitchers want you to believe, becoming a successful affiliate marketer does not happen overnight. So if you are looking for a quick transition into something that will be immediately profitable, affiliate marketing is the wrong choice. I often have people email me telling me they are getting into affiliate marketing because they lost their job and need to make some money fast. I always cringe when I see this. Affiliate marketing is not a solution if you need money quickly. It is a LONG TERM business strategy.
On average, it takes me anywhere between 18-36 months to start earning a real income from affiliate marketing sites, and that is if I work on the site just about every day. Building an audience, getting ranked in search engines, gaining the trust of readers, and finding lucrative affiliate partnerships takes a while. So in the beginning, most successful affiliate marketers run their business on the side. This can be a challenge if you already have a lot of obligations and responsibilities, but as long as you do SOMETHING on your site every day and stick with it for the long-term, you will find success online.
Here’s a video I made showing how long it took to gain traffic on my site DogFoodInsider.com.
Another one of the disadvantages of affiliate marketing is that unlike with traditional jobs, there is no established agenda, routine, or guidance. The work you put in you have to do completely by yourself, at least when you’re first starting out. You also have to be able to set your own goals and stick to them. The only person you are accountable to is yourself. This can be hard, especially in the beginning when you aren’t making a lot of income yet. Compound all of this with the massive amount of distractions that come with working from home, and it can be very hard for most people to stay motivated. Truth be told, working from home isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. If you are not a self-motivated person, affiliate marketing may not be the best career path. However, if you have a lot of self-discipline and can focus on long term goals, you will thrive.
You May Run Into Bad Affiliate Partnerships
Beyond just the challenges you will face with the lifestyle of an affiliate marketer, there are some industry disadvantages of affiliate marketing. The first is that not every affiliate partner will be a good partner. Sometimes your affiliate partner will decide not to pay you for your work or may even change leadership or go out of business. For example, I used to partner with Chewy.com to sell dog food products, but they discontinued their affiliate program. I have unfortunately also had the experience of not being paid correctly, or even at all in a few rare circumstances. You have to do a lot of research before becoming an affiliate because you may end up in a bad partnership otherwise.
You Have No Control Over Pricing Or Commissions
Another one of the big industry disadvantages of affiliate marketing is that you usually can’t negotiate product pricing. This also ties into having very little control over commission rates, which are often set by the company. For example, the Amazon Associates Affiliate Program pays a certain percentage based on how much you sell and it is non-negotiable. Though most companies offer a sliding scale where you will make a higher percentage if you drive more traffic, if you are consistently sending them great customers, you will never be able to negotiate for more money for your work. This can be frustrating especially in long term affiliate partnerships. Here is the current payout percentage with Amazon Associates, which was just changed in 2017.
There Is A Lot Of Competition. This is why when first starting out, finding the right niche is so crucial.
Choosing What Products To Sell Can Be Daunting
Even when you’ve found a great affiliate partner, you may become very overwhelmed by how many products are available for you to offer your customers, and finding an ethical company that produces high quality products can be more difficult than originally thought. When I’ve worked with larger affiliates like Amazon or Target, I found that it was really overwhelming. The first inclination is to always sell the items that offer the most commission, but many times those items were not related to my interests or expertise. Then when I’d decide on a category, there would sometimes be thousands of items available to promote and trying to decide which my readers would find most enticing was pretty daunting. What’s funny is that though this is one of the disadvantages of affiliate marketing, having a variety of products to choose from can also give you a market advantage. You just have to do a lot of research and really understand your readers.
There Isn’t Much Support
As stated before, this really is a career for self-starters and that is because you will be pretty much on your own. If you get stumped by something or run into a technical problem you don’t understand, you typically just have to figure it out by yourself. Affiliate marketing can be a lonely job. Luckily, I have found a way around this. After trying to go it alone, I ended up doing some research and found a company called Wealthy Affiliate. This is the exact service that taught me how to build my first money-making affiliate site. It’s not one of the get-rich-quick companies you’ll find on Google, they are a support network that offers everything from technical help and web hosting to topics and ideas to community boards where you can meet other affiliates and team up. So though you mostly go it alone, if you join a program like Wealthy Affiliate, you will have much more support.
There’s More Than Just The Disadvantages
Now I know this article focused on the disadvantages of affiliate marketing, but I do want to include some of the positives. Affiliate marketing really is a great way to start a company without a large investment. You can make a good income if you work hard and make smart choices. Most of all, you’ll finally be able to free yourself from the rat race and really pursue a career in something you are passionate about. I’ve traveled extensively since I started affiliate marketing and have been able to work from anywhere I decide to go. It’s amazing.
So if you are a self-starter, who can patiently build your business, and know the hiccups you’ll face in the industry, you’re going to start in a much better place. I wish when I was first starting out in affiliate marketing someone would have talked to me about the disadvantages of affiliate marketing so I better understood what I was signing up for. All this being said, I would still become an affiliate marketer. So don’t let the disadvantages of affiliate marketing discourage you, instead use them to motivate you to avoid some of the pitfalls of the industry.

La Manche was once one of Newfoundland's most picturesque outport communities. Originally settled around 1840, La Manche served as a flourishing seasonal fishing village. It featured a beautiful protected harbour but very little land on which to build, so much of the community was built on stages along the cliffside. You can only imagine how hard the people of La Manche must have worked to run a fishery from such a difficult location. Walking along the trail, we were struck by both the beauty and the harshness of the steep cliffs and the rugged shoreline.
In 1966, a severe winter storm devastated the community, wiping out its stages and wharves, and forcing the residents to resettle. All that remains today are the old concrete and slate foundations upon which the houses stood, remnants of brick chimneys, and stone steps that lead to nowhere.
In the heart of the former fishing village is the most notable feature of La Manche. The 50 metre suspension bridge was built in 1999 - replacing the original bridge that was destroyed by waves in the storm of 1966. This new bridge was officially opened in June 2000, and is dedicated to the former residents of La Manche Village, many of whom resettled in nearby communities.
We continued on a side trail to Doctor's Cove, which is the perfect location to set up a picnic, or to just sit and watch the waves crash in on the rocks. The stillness and the beauty of the area was not lost on us, as we breathed in the salt sea air and enjoyed every moment of silence.
On the way back, Andrew let me take a picture of him in his cat tank top!!!
Back up, ladies. He's taken!
Back up, ladies. He's taken!
This was such a great day! If you get the opportunity to visit La Manche Village, I totally recommend it!
