Last week I made a promise to deliver one chat with my district’s tech director each week. I almost broke that promise while struggling with Shout Engine’s submission form today, but their support came through with flying colors, and you now have the podcast below for your listening pleasure. Truth be told, Shout Engine has been ridiculously easy for getting this podcast up and running (and this is coming from someone who has helped dozens of individuals get started with podcast production and hosting). I was excited to get this episode up for two reasons. One; my tech director, Pete Poggione, enjoyed sitting down and having a chance to talk through some of the thought processes that go into technology decision making for a K-12 school district. Two; I got responses from the teachers that I support! Sure, some of them were standard grumbles about issues that bug even me, but a lot of the responses were just average curiosities and questions that many have been asking for awhile.
Whether it’s lack of time, lack of interest, or just a lack of patience, many often want an answer that sadly there isn’t always time for, especially at the start of the school year. Not that we don’t have time to answer pressing questions, but rather there never seems to be time enough for an answer that makes sense, and offers a bit of reasoning behind the decision. I’m hoping that by continuing to provide these “this is why” type answers, it will give listeners (teachers in my district or elsewhere) an opportunity to satisfy that all consuming “why?!” question that burns at the heart of any question. As educators, we’re all curious human beings, and even though we may not agree with the decisions made by administrators, I’ve found that most people are at least satisfied with a well thought out explanation as to why a decision was made. Or better yet, a well reasoned response allows for a more nuanced conversation that could in turn alter decisions made in the future for the better. However altruistic this project may sound, it’s certainly a bit of an ego-boost to know that people are listening, and commenting. Enjoy the second episode of “Tech Director Chat”, and feel free to chime in on Twitter using the #TechDirectorChat hashtag if you have questions or thoughts to share.
1:38 – Is it gratifying for Pete to get his hands dirty and work on help desk tickets instead of staying behind his desk all the time?
4:30 – Are there new projectors or interactive whiteboards coming?
6:45 – Shoutout to the Later Elementary Teachers, they rock today!
7:31 – Can we upgrade our laptops to OS X Mavericks, and why have you waited so long? – I was told after the recording that I forgot to mention that we also postponed upgrading because not all of the important software we use in the district had been updated by their developers.
13:08 – What plans are in place for providing accessibility for students with special needs or accomodations using district technology?
16:01 – How do Apple products help us with meeting student’s needs and accommodations?

It is with complete sincerity that I assert that PETCO Park is the most underrated ballpark in the country. On a trip to visit all the parks in California, this was not a place I was particularly excited about; the Padres were in town and it was a way to tick the park off the list. Now that I’ve been there, I can’t wait to go back.
PETCO is the most laid-back downtown ballpark you will ever visit. You can walk there or take public transportation; it’s a stone’s throw from the ocean, but backed up by a rich entertainment district that’s an actual part of the city, and there are quite literally seats for every budget and every ballgame agenda. It will remind you of parts of other ballparks, but yet, it’s not like any other ballpark out there.
The exterior will throw you off at first, made of local sandstone, it looks more like an upscale mall or an office complex than a ballpark. There are interior passages that will remind you of that as well. It’s decidedly pleasant, but also decidedly non-baseball. The other thing that will throw you off is how so much of the walkways are exposed to the elements on all sides. Given that you can count on two hands the number of games called on account of weather in the Padres’ history, it makes sense: why trap people inside passageways when you can take advantage of the gorgeous San Diego weather?
Instead of going retro, like a Camden or a Safeco, they went modern; the interior will remind you of Target Field… except, of course, for that brick edifice out in left field: The Western Metal Supply building. If you’re a fan of a NL team and have a good color guy doing your team’s tv broadcasts, you will undoubtably know by now that PETCO was built as an extension to an existing structure, the historic, cant-be-torn-down Western Metal Supply building. Inside Western Metal Supply you have your team store, as well as a bar thats open to the public and event spaces. They pay tribute to Wrigley with the bleachers on the roof, and the left field foul pole is the corner of the building. It’s incongruous, a little, but it works.
The top floor is the public space open to anyone, which includes an exhibit to The balcony in the public bar is open to anyone, first come, first served. They used to let people spend the whole game out there until things started to get a little territorial, and then they instituted a rotation – from the start of the game until the 3rd inning, and then from the 4th to the end of the game. The fact that you could buy a $5 park pass (more on this later) and head up to take your turn in those seats is just fabulous.
The press box was absolutely glorious. I don’t want to hear a beat writer ever complain about a San Diego series. Ever.
I wasn’t a big fan of the field level concourse. It felt a little too cave-like. I’m not sure I’d like sitting in the higher rows of the field level. Maybe it’s different when you’re sitting as opposed to standing.
Speaking of standing, there are standing room rails all over the ballpark, and, again, anyone can avail themselves of those positions, whether or not you’ve purchased an actual seat, or whether you’ve paid $5 for access to the park behind PETCO. It’s an actual public park that’s open to anyone until 4 hours before game time. Then, access will cost you $5. There are concessions, bands, a wiffle ball field and as you might expect, dozens and dozens of children running wild. There’s also a lovely statue of Tony Gwynn.
In front of the park and bordering the right field fence is a seating area called “The Beach”. It’s bleacher-like, with sand, grass and bench seating. Kids run around the sand pit during BP as players toss balls over the fence. The activity is strictly limited to children and it’s enforced by Padres personnel. It’s wonderful to watch a genuine, joyous scramble that’s not full of professional ball hawks. The players seemed to enjoy it as well.
The home bullpen is on the other side of the batter’s eye, which is where you’ll find the retired numbers. I found them to be a little lonely and awkwardly placed. It was cool when they had flames in the background for the home run celebration, but that doesn’t happen at PETCO that often. The visitor’s bullpen is on the field along the first base line.
These are the magic boxes that the umpires use when reviewing home run calls!
Sitting to watch a game was pleasant. Since it was not a game we cared about, we did not buy tickets in advance but instead bought seats to that night’s game right before the tour. We could have purchased a seat in just about any location, but decided that $21 was our pricepoint. That got us seats in right field just above the visitor’s bullpen, in the second row of the upper deck boxes. People arrived late, California style, but there are definitely some dedicated fans – including some that dress like the mascot.
The mascot is the Swinging Friar. He is active, but when we inquired as to Swinging Friar memorabilia for our collection (like a doll or a bobblehead), there was some eye rolling. The best we could do was a keychain.
Getting into the ballpark was a little odd, as the left and right field entrances take you into small covered concourses and you have to walk up ramps to get to the field level. It was a little claustrophobic and would definitely give you a bad impression of the place if you hadn’t been there before and seen how open and inviting the rest of was.
Speaking of open and inviting, BP access is open; there’s nowhere you can’t go except the seats behind the net directly behind home plate. A+ for that.
My view of the field would have been lovely except for that dreadful scoreboard. I’m not even talking about the antiquated video board, but rather, the clunky erector-set feel of the entire assemblage. Also, I hate a ballpark that doesn’t have the team’s logo prominently displayed at all times. There is nothing that says PADRES anywhere on the scoreboard when it’s not lit up, and the PETCO logos just looked half-baked.
You could easily fly into San Diego for a series and not ever need a car. There are dozens of hotels, many in walking distance (the Omni connected to the ballpark by a walkway), and others a quick ride on the trolley. The airport is less than 10 minutes by cab from downtown, and there is no shortage of bars and restaurants between downtown and the ballpark. Your chances of the game being rained out are slim and none. And, if you want a non-baseball distraction, there are many, many tourist attractions in the area, from the San Diego Zoo to Legoland. Yes, I am already planning my trip back.
I can’t believe the guide didn’t at least mention Randy Jones BBQ a staple for the Padres since at least the 90’s. Still there are a TON of places to go. An ideal trip would consist of going from mission valley (near quallcomm stadium) going to Chevy’s or the Gordon Biersch brewery if that’s more your style, for happy hour. Then hop on the trolley to downtown and get off at the convention center stop and right there to the left is a terrific establishment with live bands and good food for not TOO much. ANd its easy walking distance to Petco.
Thank you for the wonderful write up. I too have used my business travel time to satisfy my obsession of baseball, taking advantage of the opportunities to visit many baseball parks, minor & major. After having visited Camden, ATT, Fenway, Norfolk Harbor Tides….I was really disappointed when I first walked into Petco with all its white, sand and blue, but the place has grown in its beauty and charm with the lush greenery, magnificent waterfall and open breezeways — I have really grown to love it. It says San Diego living.
1) I apologize for your guide not recommending Randy Jones BBQ – signature food, that has been a part of the Padre fare since the days at the Murph. The hot dogs beat out a Dodger Dog, any day, both in size and flavor. My favorite recommendation is Rubio’s fish or shrimp taco, SD home grown fare, which were actually located just below where you were seated.
3) If your visit happens to fall on a Sunday, then the Breakfast at the Park should not be missed. Shaded tables are set up on the outfield warning track. You not only get that up close and personal experience with the field, but with each team’s players performing their warm ups on the field and the pitchers in the bull pen it is a can’t miss experience. Each Sunday brings another surprise of who may stop by to eat with you – from CEO Moorad, COO Garfinkle, Padre players, and of course the mascots, The Swinging Friar and Petco’s dog, Ruff and cat, Muew. Heath Bell is our regular favorite. It opens at 1030 on a first come, first served basis.
4) Also on Sundays from 1130-Noon, two Padre players sign one item for children 14 and under.
5) The Park in the Park can’t be beat for either playing in nor taking in all the away games which the Padres broadcast for free on the big screen.
6) One correction: the tiles are not made from local sandstone but are actually from India chosen to match the sand color of our local La Jolla cliff colors [no harvesting sand from this coast] The result is a tile that changes color with the sun’s position and is especially beautiful lite up at night with the home plate waterfall running over them and into the pools.
And last but not least, there are stuffed Swinging Friars in the many Padre stores around the park. I have only seen the bobble head as a giveaway a few years ago along with the SD Chicken :) If you are really interested in one and want to send me an address, I will mail you one as a thank you for the great article.
Looks like someone beat me to naming Randy Jones’ BBQ. There are two locations one along the outfield and one behind the home plate area. You want to eat from the one before home plate. What you want to get is the BBQ Brisket Sandwich. Ask for a hot one, you’ll love it.
Thanks, everyone, for the tips for when I make my way back to the ballpark. I’m kind of picky when it comes to BBQ – visiting Kansas City was an embarrassment of riches – but I’ll definitely give it a try next time.
JJP, we still do need that Swinging Friar so I will be dropping you a line!
Thanks to Ducksnorts, Gaslamp Ball for the linkage and to the rest of you for your comments!
I loved your review of PETCO park. Especially your assertion that it is the most underrated of all the ballparks. It’s difficult for me to grasp how people from outside of SD view PETCO. When it was first opened in 2004 I felt as if it was the cream of the crop. The best of the new ballparks. But somehow it never received that type of billing from the national media. I am still unsure as to why that is.
I have been to Wrigley and Fenway and consider both of those to belong in a different category.
The only parks i can compare PETCO to are, Jacobs field, Chase field, AT&T, Dodger stadium, Angel Stadium, The Ballpark at Arlington and Safeco (which I toured but didn’t see a game at).
I feel like PETCO is superior to all of those.
Like the other commentators I am sad that you weren’t directed to RJ’s BBQ or Rubios fish tacos or even the the food up in the Western Metal supply company bar. They have terrific make your own nachos, and carving board sandwiches. The sushi is pretty good too. There are literally tons of premium dining options and while few have the stand out uniqueness of say chicago deep dish or SF’s garlic fries they are still of very high quality.
I go to as many games as possible at PETCO (maybe 20 a years) and I keep score each and every game. If you go to the guest services desk they will give you a scorecard with the lineups already printed in and lot’s of terrific game notes. It’s like a mini media guide and it’s totally free you just need to ask.
Also this year they started giving away free programs called the Padres Blue Print. They too have a free scorecard in them.
I had never thought about the awkwardness of entering at left and right field but you are correct those entrances are rather quirky. The main home plate entrance though is absolutely beautiful with the grand staircase adjacent to a waterfall.
I hope you come back and if and when you do please let me know so that I can join you and give you a fans tour of PETCO.

"Development, optimization, and use of an APCI source with temperature-" by Sonja Krieger, Alexandra Von Trotha et al.
A trend is observed in mass spectrometry, in which solid samples without prior dissolution and chromatographic separation are brought directly into the ion source and are ionized, e.g., by corona discharge (Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe) or plasma (Direct Analysis in Real Time). The Direct Inlet Probe-atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization (APCI) ion source presented here, which was coupled to a high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight-mass spectrometer, differs from most of the other ion sources in having temperature-programmed heating of the sample. The resulting possibility to reduce ion suppression and ion-molecule reactions in the ion source was shown by the separation of two fatty acid methyl esters as a result of their boiling point difference. Using caffeine as sample, certain source parameters such as the auxiliary gas flow, the drying gas flow, and the position of the probe tip in the ion source were optimized. The ability to perform quantitative analyses was shown by the linear concentration response (R 2 = 0.9984) observed when analyzing different caffeine concentrations. An extract of a Chinese medicinal herb was used to examine the reproducibility (relative standard deviations of the most abundant m/z signals were ≤8.1 %). It was also possible to distinguish milled samples of Radix Angelicae sinensis and Radix Angelicae gigas from each other and to identify the coumarins they contain without sample preparation. Supplying synthetic air instead of nitrogen to the ion source makes APCI in the negative mode possible as well; this was proven by the analysis of n-nonyl-β-d-maltoside. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Student: Ive got a bunch of questions that have been popping up so Im just going to spill them out and hope you can do something with them, okay?
Student: Do you really not care one way or another if anyone in the sangha, or anywhere else, finds their true nature or realizes enlightenment? Is not caring the same as not being attached to any outcome? What do you think would be different both in the sangha and with the teacher-student relationships if there was a caring? Do you think this is what that student was talking about when she asked after last nights Dharma talk, during the Q & A, where’s the heart in your teaching? Do you think that that which pulls for a teacher to care one way or another is the same thing that resists either standing on its own two feet or the feeling of being left completely alone on the path.
Michael: Wow. Theres a lot there but Ill try to piece something together here. First, if I said that “I don’t care” in relation to students finding their true natures, I misspoke. What I mean is that “I’m not attached to the outcome” of their work. Nor am I attached to mine. With that said, I care far more about their realization than I care for them as individuals. This often bums people out since they want a relationship thats different from the one Im interested in cultivating. Quite simply, Im interested in delivering this teaching as best as possible more than Im interested in developing new friendships. This doesnt mean that I dont care for people who come to hear me. On the contrary, I care very deeply. Deeply enough not to let them fall back on habitual egoic patterns. Egos hate this and often see it as heartless, and I know that my style is not for everyone. But, in my view, for a practitioner to let the teacher-student relationship to really take off, they must be willing to see and accept whats actually going on within themselves as it relates to the relationships that they have, both with me and everyone else in their lives including their inner-most being.
Student: And students are afraid of this work, right?
Michael: Yes. Its natural for this to be so. But it doesnt make sense for any teacher, in my view, to simply play the role of rescuer. This just keeps the student stuck which is anything but compassionate, nor is it wise, for that matter. Its most helpful when, as teachers, we allow for people to spin and spin and spin in the same eddy of lifes flow until they get sick enough of their patterns to garner the resolve theyll need to make a 90 degree turn, thus breaking the cycle and developing a different perspective in the process. Supporting this move is my raison d’etre. It’s the only reason I do this work and increasingly its becoming the main focus of my life.
Student: Sounds like spiritual tough love.
Michael: That works, as long as smiles are seen in that mix. And, it should also be noted, there is a whole-lotta’ heart in this process even though people might see my approach as not caring or loving enough. Im okay with this.
Student: So the best way to help a student realize the Truth, so to speak, is to let them fail?
Michael: The best way for a teacher to help a student that has fallen into a tar pit of ego is not to lift, clean, or pull the student out of the mess. Rather the teacher should ask the questions necessary for the student to uncover the core of the experiences they are having. This brings the light of consciousness into the darkness of their unconscious patterns. So back to our previous point: usually when people want more “heart” or they want to feel more love from their teacher, they really want to feel like someone’s got their back. Which is another way of saying that they want someone to keep them from falling into the tar pit. While I’m not interested in pushing people in to any tar pits, a person’s ability to navigate around it depends on the skill set their practice offers. This realization of skills is more important than whatever I might want to do in order to rescue them from their missteps.
Student: So in a way you want to see them fail?
Michael: I want to see them fearlessly meet their life in a fully exposed manner. I want them to be utterly open and vulnerable to this very moment and participate totally. When they are raw and consumed with feelings of being lost and at their wits end, I want them to become familiar with those feelings; so familiar with them that through their practice they no longer fear them.
Student: But do you ever feel like you have to push them there?
Michael: Ive never had to. People usually show up to deep spiritual practice in a state of confused vulnerability. Pushing someone into this space isnt appropriate in my view. In fact, its abusive. Having said this, the teaching ignites once both teacher and student can work together in a place of wonder rather than certitude. Once the wonder takes over, something is recognized showing us that there is a way out of the limited and a way into the limitless. From here its my job to just keep pointing the way, hoping that they’ll take the steps necessary to find strength enough in their own legs to step past me and carry the torch.

Home › Blog › You're Engaged – Now What?
You got the ring. You got the yes. Where do you go from here?
For many couples, getting engaged is an exciting, ultra-romantic whirlwind of happy calls and texts to family members, and recounting the proposal story to everyone you know.
Once you've both floated down from Cloud Nine, the reality sets in: You have a wedding to plan.
Even if you and your fiancé have already discussed the kind of celebration you want, there are a lot of details you need to iron out, including your wedding vendors. Your venue, caterer, entertainment, photographer, videographer, florist, and others are the people who will keep your big day on track and running smoothly, so it's important to do your research and choose companies you trust.
To help you find your perfect wedding vendors, here's a simple step-by-step guide you can follow once you're engaged.
Before you can start approaching vendors, you'll need to decide on your wedding date.
Most wedding service providers are booked months, or sometimes even a year or more in advance, so they're going to need something firmer than "next spring" to get you on their calendar.
It's also critical to have at least a ballpark idea of how much you want to spend on your wedding, including contributions from your families, if applicable. You might be able to adjust as you go, but you don't want to get to the contract phase with a couple of vendors, only to discover you'll have to skimp on everything else to afford them.
Once you've chosen your date and set an approximate budget, you can begin the vendor outreach process.
The web is your best resource.
Some couples already have wedding vendors in mind before they get engaged, but if you're starting from scratch, Google is the best place to begin. Use location-specific search terms like "Jersey Shore wedding venues," "Monmouth County wedding photographer," or "wedding DJ near me" to help you find the highest-rated local vendors.
When you find a few that sound promising, visit their websites and social media accounts. You should be able to find service package options on their website, and their social presence will give you an idea of the types of events they work. While some vendors require you to contact them for a quote, others make their pricing transparent and easy to find, which means you'll know up front exactly what kind of value you'll get.
Friends and relatives who have gotten married recently are a great resource.
If you loved your cousin's wedding photos or thought the DJ at your best friend's wedding played great music, ask for the company's name and contact information. Because many wedding vendors earn most of their business through word-of-mouth referrals, they may offer a pricing incentive if you mention who sent you to them.
Reviews are typically accurate, but trust your sources.
Another great way to research a wedding vendor is to check out what other couples say about them online. Sites like The Knot and Wedding Wire are huge repositories for wedding vendors across the country, but they don't necessarily offer a complete list – you should also check testimonials and social media reviews on an individual vendor's page, especially if they're a smaller business. A handful of detailed, positive Google or Facebook reviews from satisfied local couples is just as valuable as dozens of star ratings on The Knot.
Your final step is to reach out to your top choice vendors and have conversation with them – ideally, in person. Schedule a tour of the venue. Stop in to the florist's shop. Make an appointment to meet with your photographer or entertainment provider. If geographical distance doesn't permit an in-person meeting, see if the vendor is willing to do a video call for your initial consultation. There's nothing like a face-to-face interaction with someone to help you determine their character and trustworthiness, both of which are essential in a good wedding vendor.
Once you've thoroughly vetted each potential vendor and understand what's included in their service contract, you can decide which ones meet your needs while staying within your budget. Remember, the most important thing any vendor can provide you is the wedding day of your dreams, so make sure the ones you choose can deliver on that.

Nutcase Necklace – Colour Pop!
Love this colourful necklace from Hong Kong designer, Connie Lo. Her label is called Nutcase and all the pieces are fun and bright. Connie studied in the UK but is now based in Hong Kong where these pieces are handmade. You can buy her jewellery on Etsy and most pieces are under £60!
I love these fashion signs which were posted on the doors to mall in Toronto.
Boxpark Shoreditch opens Saturday December 3!
This is the goodie bag from the Glamour and Way In event at Harrods. It was quite an exciting event to style! All the guests could have free makeovers and eyelash extentions – the queue for eyelashes was endless!

Iron included in steaming mode.
Water with water from “face” and “iszanka” problem sites.
To see jeansya iron in these places, strongly stretching them in the width.
To complete, still through the jeans ‘tension, hope and have a time in them to go.
This is enough to make the product take on the necessary shape and become more comfortable.
If the jeans are tight in only at the waist, right at the seat for the belt, then a plastic bottle with water will come in handy. To stretch the belt of trousers, you need to wet it well on both sides, purl and facial. Then put on your jeans, zip up. Now the task is to put the bottle between the belt of the trousers and the waist. After this, it remains to wait until the jeans are completely dry.
Another thing to consider is that these “metamorphoses” are not permanent. Washing in hot water will return the jeans the previous size and they will again become an anointed eyes and every cleaning will remind you of this.

Features very high quality balsa printwood and strip wood, covering material, highest quality plans, cut nose block, finished thrust button, main & tail wheels, carved prop blank, clear for windshield and more. The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. The Cleveland Model and Supply Company played a pivotal role in the development of true scale models. In 1909 Bleriot's English Channel flight caused a surge in aviation and model aircraft around the globe. Several companies were ideally positioned to take advantage of the aviation craze. In the USA, Wading River Manufacturing Co. (1909), White Aeroplane (1911), Ideal Model Aeroplane (1911), Broadfield Model Aeroplanes (1919) were among these pioneers, offering everything from plans and parts to complete kits and ARF models. Lindbergh's 1927 crossing of the Atlantic Ocean caused an even bigger world-wide phenomenon called 'The Aviation Craze' that extended up to the start of World War II. Many companies such as Megow, Guillow's and others started right around the time of Lindbergh's flight. Some of these models flew and flew well, but they all had one thing in common - were generally not accurate scale representations. In 1929, a youngster named Ed Packard had a very advanced dream to produce incredibly accurate, true scale models that flew perfectly. This radical idea established the world's longest operating single-owner model airplane supply business, called Cleveland Model and Supply Company. To this day, Cleveland models are treasured as the most accurate flying scale models produced. The fact that Mr. Packard started and successfully grew this business during The Great Depression is a testament to his ideals and business skill. I highly suggest the excellent book called 'Aviations great Recruiter, Cleveland's Ed Packard' by H.L. (Herm) Schreiner. It is an excellent history of the man, his company and the times of the Golden Age of Model Aviation.

The kit has never been started. Inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
Still factory sealed. Excellent wooden kit designed for rubber power but can also be converted to electric and R/C with modern small components. Features hand-selected laser cut balsa, contest rubber and plastic prop, vacuformed details, color decals, full size plan, hardware, lightweight colored tissue and full step by step instructions.
Rare wartime issue from about 1943 and an ideal builder. Large scale (1/12.8) flying model has stick and tissue construction. Features quality balsa printwood, spars and stringers, fully formed wheels, metal stock as required, pre-carved prop, rubber motor, sealed envelope of small parts, two colors of tissue and very nice full size plans. I have done an inventory and I would say the kit is complete with all parts. The plans show the motor hum device, but that did not come with wartimes issues because was made from strategic materials (metal).
From the early to mid 1970s. Large scale issue for rubber or gas free flight, or easily converted to RC using today's tiny and light servos and receivers. Box art is by Locher, who did a great deal of the Monogram box artwork also. Kit features traditional wood/tissue construction with all die cut parts, 'Tube-O-Matic' fuselage construction and 'Rugged Super X Simplified Non-Warping Wing' construction, colorful insignia sheet for civil or US Army versions, detailed full size plans with building instructions, die-cut printwood, factory-cut stripwood with leading and trailing wing edges, fully formed and finished wooden main and tail wheels & thrust button, hardware, tissue and plastic propeller. Never started and inventoried complete. Comet was a famous manufacturer of stick and tissue flying and static models. In the 1930s Great Depression, they lead the low-priced kit revolution with the "Dime Scale" kits and famous advertisements in Model Airplane News magazine and others. Comet reached it's peak in the 1930s when they acquired the services of Carl Goldberg. Goldberg was a highly accomplished modeler with articles in Model Airplane News and famous designs that won him several National level competitions in the 1930s and beyond. (Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998.

Ugh. So, last October I totally unsubscribed (so I thought) to all of the emails from companies having to do with babies or baby products (because of my story here and here).
However, much to my dismay, I checked my Junk mail folder this morning and I had received an email from Enfamil. Nothing against that company, just one email that got through.
Unfortunately, this email had large bold letters that said: "Your baby is now 6 months old!"
Ugh. It's hard. IF the girls would have been born on their due date of February 14, yes, they would be 6 months old now.
I'm okay. Really, I am. I just felt the need to share a little frustration and sadness.
God is still good. His peace still surpasses all understanding. And one little email WILL NOT define my day.
OOH...tomorrow I'll share a BEAUTIFUL canvas a friend of mine painted for the girls. I have to get the pictures in there first!

Summer is officially over in grey London and I’m back from the holidays with a light touch of tan and more energy to start dealing with the usual workload again. I’ll enjoy these last rays of sun with a special guest: my little sister, who’s staying with us for a little while. She’s definitely bringing some fresh air and a touch of Italian style to my house.
As for the holidays, I had an amazing time under the sun, catching up with as many friends as humanly possible, doing shopping and eating tasty Italian pizza with the family. With the help of L, we ticked off a couple of things-to-do on our wedding list as we spent hours building wedding favours, choosing our menu and discussing with the photographers. Now it’s all about the final touches and I’m feeling quite thrilled, I can’t wait!
The true highlight of the holidays though was the surprise hen party that my friends and sisters organised for me. Let me start by saying I had the best party I could possibly imagine and I’ll never stop saying I’m so grateful to have such wonderful friends and sisters. Now, to the fun part!
The party was totally unexpected. My best friend texted me a couple of days before my flight to Italy telling me that on the following Sunday afternoon we were going to the mountains and I believed her. I thought it was a nice way to finally meet her other half and, after sitting in an office for months, a walk in the fresh air was everything I needed.
On Sunday, after lunch, I grabbed a pair of trainers, threw on some sportswear and went to the parking lot in front of the church, waiting for A to pick me up. When I saw our family car approaching, I thought my sisters were going to the city centre that same afternoon. However, when they started to play the horn like crazy and laughing out loud, I suddenly knew that I wasn’t going to lay down in the grass that day.
They jumped out of the car and together with A, they blindfolded me and applied a spray to dye to my hair purple (telling me it was some sort of gel). They then helped me get changed into what I recognised was a swimsuit and then let me sit in the car. I knew where we were going as I made it very clear I wanted to go to Lake Garda for my hen party, but my sisters kept pretending we were going somewhere else and that was hilarious. When we were in the middle of the highway, they kept claiming there were cows everywhere and when they stopped to pay for the beach access, they told me the cashier got confused and didn’t mean to say beach, we were on the mountains.
When I was finally allowed to open my eyes, I was at a marvellous pebble beach facing Lake Garda, surrounded by green peaks and clear blue water. I’ve been to the lake before but never to that secret gem: for a moment I was in New Zealand with L and S, standing in front of magic lake Wanaka once more.
– What’s the one ingredient that is present in “tortelli dei Gonzaga” but is missing from “cappellacci ferraresi”? I was given three options: cherries, amarettos and a third one I can’t remember. I thought that ravioli with amarettos must taste good and that was the correct answer! A lucky bet!
– What is L’s bedtime ritual? The answer was tricky because it included taking off the eyeglasses, but I nailed it!
As part of the challenges, I had to dance Despacito with a stranger (who was more embarrassed than I was), and take a selfie with a random group of guys, one of whom tried to hook up with the girls. After a few hours by the lake, we dined with M’s risotto, some pizza and a quiche. Finally, we decided to go to a club nearby, also by the lake.
We spent the first few hours relaxing in the lounge area, chatting about past relationships, future life plans and wedding arrangements. For a moment, we felt so close under the night sky, it was very special. We also had a few cocktails, then decided to venture towards the dance floor. My best friend convinced an actual dancer to dance for me, which was quite fun! Anyway, while we were dancing, I attempted – in quite a clumsy way – to jump on the stage, but somehow hit my leg against it and cut my skin. That’s how we ended up in the hospital, where a lovely doctor and two very patient nurses sew six stitches on my poor leg. We were home by 3 am, still laughing at what had happened during that unforgettable night.
So that’s it, this is what happened during my surprise hen party. I absolutely loved that day/night and if I could, I would love to live it all over again!
What about you, how was the best hen party you’ve been to?

"Chagall, Lissitzky, Malevich: The Russian Avant-Garde in Vitebsk, 1918-1922"
(Sept. 14-Jan. 6) — Through some 160 works, "Chagall, Lissitzky, Malevich: The Russian Avant-Garde in Vitebsk, 1918-1922" presents the artistic output of Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky, Kazimir Malevich and others, exploring a little-known chapter in the history of modernity and the Russian avant-garde.
The exhibit traces the fascinating post-revolutionary years when the history of art was shaped in Vitebsk, where one hundred years ago Chagall was appointed Fine Arts Commissioner, far from Russia’s main cities. The People’s Art School, founded in Vitebsk by Chagall in 1918, was the perfect embodiment of Bolshevik values. El Lissitzky and Kazimir Malevich, leading exponents of the Russian avant-garde, were two of the artists invited to teach at the school.

I really want to change but I don't know how. Help?
I really want to stop seeing the defects in others and begin to focus and work on myself but I don't know how. I make a huge effort to be non-judgemental but I still see this aspect in myself and I see myself hating certain characteristics of other specially my friends. I really hate some things in them and I see them as evil sometimes. I didn't want to be like this and I know I have this in me because my mother is like this and maybe also my father a little... I want to work on myself more and more and bring the best on my friends and not the worst. I don't do it for their bad I just wanted them to be better. I have very few friends and I judge them sometimes I ask why I'm among idiots because that's what they are like sometimes. Well now I'm living in a house with girls and I don't think they are idiots they seem to be great... Just one of them is a little bit stupid sometimes maybe. Maybe I have to be more tolerant and have more compassion? But they make me feel bad and sad. I didnt want to blame it onn them but that's what happens. They do something stupid and I feel bad or sad. I feel I deserve that. I feel I'm worthless that's why they treat me like that sometimes. Well I don't know what to do to balance the situation and bring equilibrium between accepting them as they are and being non-judgemental and creating boundaries that protect my self-esteem and integrity. What do you think?
Maybe the judgements you hold towards them are reflecting aspects within you that need examining?
Bottom line.. Self love! It's so hard I know. Especially if we beat ourselves up all the time.
Take this awareness that you have cultivating by judging others and use to empower yourself. I think it's wonderful that you can actually admit to it.. So be grateful!

At the world’s first scientific bakeoff, the students of the Science & Food undergraduate course presented results from their final projects, including a live taste test of apple pies. The final projects were judged by Chefs Christina Tosi and Zoe Nathan, food critics Jonathan Gold and Evan Kleiman, and UCLA Professors Andrea Kasko, and Sally Krasne.
Chefs Christina Tosi and Zoe Nathan also shared their perspectives on inventing desserts, with an emphasis on pie. Watch the entire lecture or check out some of the shorter highlights below.

So we are home, our internet is back on (yay!), I’m playing catchup on work and we’re getting back into the swing of things. We had such an amazing time on our Disney Dream cruise! We left Port Canaveral last Thursday and headed to Nassau on Friday and Castaway Cay (pronounced “key”) on Saturday. We were so blessed to get the chance to go on this trip with some people from John’s work and we enjoyed every single second.
The Dream is an AMAZING ship! It looked so beautiful at night.
On the first night on the ship, John and I decided to check out the “Match Your Mate” game and we TOTALLY DOMINATED. We beat out two other couples – one couple had four kids and one couple had been married 30 years… yet we knew more about each other. It was hilarious!
The first day we docked in Nassau… it was beautiful. We decided to stay on the ship and enjoy everything that the ship had to offer, but we enjoyed the beautiful views.
…and we headed to Nemo’s Reef splash zone. She was SO cute and totally didn’t know what to do with the water.
The food on the ship was absolutely amazing. This was us heading to dinner… and yes, we TOTALLY match.
One night Lilly couldn’t sleep at all and so I decided to take her out onto the top deck to watch the sun rise. It was so beautiful and so peaceful. We were the ONLY ones up there (other than the guy pressure washing the deck) and it was beautiful to just look out over the ocean and see nothing but water.
Lilly ended up falling asleep in the carrier on my chest and so I just sat up there with her and read my bible and looked out over the water. It was the moment of quiet and peace I so badly needed.
On Saturday, we headed to Castaway Cay which is Disney’s private island. We were delayed getting into the port because the water was SO ROUGH. Seriously. It was actually scary… the boat was rocking an insane amount and the winds were out of control.
The Dream docked at Castaway Cay.
Ran into Princess Tiana in the hallway… I totally turned into a 10 year old. I was so excited when I saw all the characters!
The last night we decided to be old people and play shuffleboard with another couple who was on the trip with us… and we totally lost. I am NOT good at shuffleboard.
I could go on and on and on and on about how much I loved the trip and how much fun we had… this is obviously just a small recap of our time.
But most importantly, it was really the break that my husband and I so badly needed. We put Lilly in the nursery on the ship in the evenings and so after dinner each night John and I just got to spend time with each other talking and laughing and dreaming and catching up. We were totally unplugged… no phones, no internet, no social media… just each other.
It just was the reminder and the reset that we both needed to just be more present. And that sometimes alone time and conversation and laughter is all you really need to relax and unwind.
Have you ever been on a cruise? How about a Disney Cruise?

I have begun the process of cataloguing, transcribing and scanning a series of letters which my Father, Jimmie Lee Collester, wrote during his time in the US Army during the 1950s. I hope that my family members will enjoy reading these, as well as anyone doing research for Historical reasons.
If you have a stash of letters from someone who was in the US Military; before you throw them out, consider donating them to an archive for people studying this subject. One such Archival Project is The Legacy Project (located on the web at www.warletters.com). If you’ve done interviews with family members or other Military Vets, you can contribute transcripts and audio to the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project (Online at www.loc.gov/vets/).
Oh, well, it can’t hurt my birthday anyway.
Home sick … way down inside.
The weather is just plain crappy . . .

Isn’t she darling?! Our little nutgirl – the main reason for my prolonged absence on here – graced us with her appearance rather swiftly at a minute before midnight on January 4th! And while life wasn’t exactly sane beforehand, it certainly hasn’t let up. We’ll be moving countries – not to South Africa, as we had envisioned, but to Denmark as hubby has landed a rather good job there. I’m looking forward to it! Not to the actual logistics of moving I will readily admit, but to the living there. And hopefully staying put for more than a couple of years as well!
She’s 3 weeks old now and the girly stuff is really beginning to grow on me – heaven help this girl!!

One thing I’ve been struggling with was to use jQuery UI elements in my plugins, for example jQuery UI Tabs. Even though the libraries are included with WordPress, I couldn’t get them to work.
Thanks to Pippin’s Plugins I could figure it out – thanks, Pippin!
The latter point is rather important: just image what would happen if my scripts are loaded on every possible admin page, potentially causing problems with many other plugins and core functions.
Nothing is happening just yet, other than WordPress being aware that a new script has been registered and is ready for use if enqueued.
If we’d build an interface without WordPress we’d also have to load the jQuery library (as jQuery UI needs it to work), however there’s no need for it when we’re using WordPress because it’s clever enough to load dependencies for us. Neat, huh?
All that’s left now is to display the HTML for our tabs inside the main function. Rather than pasting that here, take a look at a full working project I’ve posted to GitHub called Plugin Starter. The code is well documented and contains links to further reading too.
Now go forth and create many funky admin interfaces for themes and plugins!

Local campaigning group Hastings Solidarity (HaSol) turned out in force at the town centre on a wet and windy Saturday afternoon (9th January) to highlight community support for our local junior doctors. Beleaguered nationally by current Government policies that seem intent on dismantling the NHS, the doctors are due to strike on Tuesday 12th, with emergency only coverage for 24 hours, in an effort to protect working conditions believed to be already less than satisfactory. If Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt’s proposals go ahead, the hours and conditions junior doctors would be expected to accept fall short of the BMA’s “need for robust contractual safeguards on safe working, and proper recognition for those working unsocial hours”.
Neil O’Warne of HaSol explained to HIP that the town centre event was to collect written endorsements of support for junior doctors and the essential work they do from members of the local community. Recorded on two giant cards, over 200 signatures and messages of appreciation had already been collected during the first hour. These cards will be taken to a picket outside The Conquest Hospital on the 12th to demonstrate local strength of feeling against the proposed new working conditions.
The picket line at The Conquest will be in operation from 9.30 a.m. – 11.30 a.m. on Tuesday 12th January. Hastings Solidarity will be joining them from 10.30 a.m. onwards and all local residents concerned about this issue are invited to join them. Hastings Solidarity brings together local people who are politically active in our communities and workplaces.

Taxpayers will continue subsidizing healthcare for the United Farm Workers union under legislation signed by Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday.
Brown and Democratic lawmakers have already supplied two years of funding; the measure signed by the governor will provide up to $3 million annually for an additional five years.
Union officials said they need the money to backstop their insurance plan, which falls short of standards set by President Obama's healthcare law.
Without the financial support, they said, the state will be on the hook for even greater costs because farmworkers would end up on public healthcare.
But Brown's own Department of Finance questioned those estimates in an analysis this year, saying it was "unable to verify" them.
Finance officials also questioned the wisdom of subsidizing the union's healthcare.
"This proposal creates a new, ongoing program over which the state has no oversight," their analysis said.
The bill, SB 145, was sponsored by Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento). Brown's office declined to comment about the governor's decision.
"We are letting the governor's signature speak for itself," said Gareth Lacy, a spokesman.

A new study has revealed that 99 percent of organic, unpaid social media posts generate little to no engagement, with that remaining one percent soaking up almost all of the Likes, retweets, shares and comments across the top platforms.
SocialFlow analysed 1.6 million non-paid social media posts across Twitter, Facebook and Google+ between April 1st and July 31st of this year. They found that while these posts reached more than 361 million users and generated nearly 1.5 billion social actions, almost all engagement was focused on just one percent of submissions, with the bulk taking place in the final half percent.
Jim Anderson, CEO of SocialFlow, says marketers shouldn’t be put off by the findings.
Point being: just because your post didn’t generate a single retweet, you should sleep better when you remember that Justin Bieber picked up almost half a million. Swings and roundabouts.

EExplore galleries and museums, and then relax at one of the town's many restaurants or pubs set in the wide, tree-lined streets of this historic town before setting off to enjoy one of the many plays on offer at the world-renowned National Arts Festival.
To most South Africans, Grahamstown, just off the N2 between Port Elizabeth and Port Alfred is the home of Rhodes University and the host of one of the country’s longest-running and major arts festivals. Grahamstown plays host to the National Arts Festival event in July every year for the past 10 years. It kicks off on a musical note, on a Sunday afternoon up at the Settlers National Monument with a performance by an orchestra.
IIf you are in Grahamstown, why don’t you send someone a letter or postcard from the oldest official letterbox in South Africa? It is assumed to have been brought to the country between 1859 and 1860. It is on St. Andrew's College corner, at the north-west end of Worcester Street where it intersects with Somerset Street.
TThis Eastern Cape town is where the early British settlers —craftspeople and builders in the main—produced some of the most remarkable architecture in South Africa. Spend a day walking its streets, and you’ll find yourself back in the mid-1800s—follies, fancies and Victorian styles reminiscent of London.
The town is dominated by the classic old Rhodes University campus and should be called “Student City” after the thousands of young students who study at Rhodes University. Rhodes is world-famous for the inventors, thinkers, writers and academics it has produced over the generations, and when it is open for learning, the town buzzes.
The students—who enjoy these tree-lined streets and the thrill of learning in a country setting—set the tone of Grahamstown during term time with their parties, events and purely joyous presence.
RRegarded as the heart of the tourist route known as "Frontier Country" Grahamstown, along with towns like Alicedale, Sidbury, Riebeeck East, Hogsback and Alice, is part of one of the most diverse ecological regions in South Africa, with thousands of hectares devoted to nature and game conservation, and a history steeped in forts, conflict and strife. The town lies at the intersection of four very different climatic zones and its unpredictable weather is part of the excitement of the annual arts festival, which takes place in the middle of winter and sees thousands of people bundled in coats, gloves and scarves descend on the town.

The Internet industry has to regulate itself by responding to consumer demands in the wake of the recent U.S. federal court ruling that the Federal Communications Commission didn't have authority to enforce its net neutrality rules, BitTorrent CEO Eric Klinker said Monday.
"There is no ambiguity. There is not going to be, at least in the near term, a strong regulator for broadband," Klinker told the eComm conference in Burlingame, California.
Instead, it is the public that will pass judgment on how service and application providers behave, Klinker said. "The public is our regulator."
BitTorrent was at the center of the case that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decided on April 6. The FCC had ordered cable operator Comcast to stop throttling BitTorrent and other file-sharing applications on its network. The high court ruled that the agency could not do so.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer tool for transferring files, including very large ones, and has been called one of the major platforms for sharing of copyright-protected works. Comcast has defended its right to take steps to manage its network so a few users don't take up too much its capacity. The court ruling appears to have seriously hobbled the FCC's ability to enforce its network neutrality principles, which call for nondiscriminatory treatment of different applications traveling over public networks, among other things.
But Klinker told eComm he isn't afraid of carriers creating "walled gardens" of selected content turn the Internet into the equivalent of cable TV. They also would have a hard time selling network management programs based on "discrimination," he said. What consumers really want are steps to ease delays during times of heavy usage, according to Klinker. BitTorrent even has its own mechanism for doing this, called Micro Transport Protocol, and has rolled it out to the users of its software.
Carriers probably won't try to be gatekeepers against certain websites or Internet-based services because the steps they would have to take, he said.
"For example, if (carriers) wanted to extract a rent from Google, one of the carriers in this room is going to have to blink first and block Google," Klinker said. The greater threat to the Internet may be Apple's "feudal" approach to the Internet, he said. Apple has come under fire for controlling access to popular, lucrative platforms of its own creation, such as iTunes and the iPhone App Store.
Most people basically want net neutrality, so it would be hard for carriers to justify network management measures that are seen as discriminatory, Klinker said. What consumers will embrace are moves to ease congestion during busy times.
"Management practices devoted to this problem, I think, are totally defensible," Klinker said. He used the analogy of ambulances traveling quickly through crowded streets because other drivers pull over for them. "Neutral and priority can -- in fact, they do -- coexist," he said.
This is the principle behind Micro Transport Protocol, Klinker said. The system instructs BitTorrent to take up unused capacity on a network so, for example, it will hold back during a busy work day to let more critical applications maintain their performance, he said. When it senses delays, it slows down, helping other applications maintain low latency.
BitTorrent has been developing Micro Transport Protocol for several years. In January, it declared the software stable and provided it as an automatic update to users of the company's own BitTorrent client. (Users who don't choose to update their clients won't get it.) About 60 other companies distribute versions of BitTorrent software, which is open source, but the company has about 70 million users out of a worldwide total of about 100 million, according to Klinker.
The new protocol can benefit carriers by allowing them to run their networks more fully loaded, because BitTorrent will stop itself from overloading the network, he said.

Nissan’s alliance with France’s Renault is not in danger “at all”, the Japanese automaker’s CEO said January 7, despite tensions exposed by the arrest of the partnership’s chief Carlos Ghosn.
In an interview, Hiroto Saikawa brushed aside suggestions that the alliance, which also includes Mitsubishi Motors, had been damaged by the aftermath of Ghosn’s arrest for alleged financial misconduct.
“I don’t think it’s in danger at all,” he told AFP.
He declined to comment directly on the case against Ghosn, who will appear in court Tuesday to hear an explanation of his ongoing detention.
“This is a process of the Japanese system, so I have nothing to say,” Saikawa said.
“I just want to focus on stabilising the company.” Ghosn’s arrest rocked the auto industry and exposed rifts in the three-firm alliance that he forged, particularly between Nissan and Renault.
Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors swiftly removed Ghosn from his leadership positions after his arrest, with Saikawa even referring to the “dark side” of his former mentor’s tenure.
But Renault has kept Ghosn on as CEO, and the French firm has repeatedly urged Nissan to call a shareholder meeting, reportedly seeking to bolster its representation on the company’s board.

of the same cactus multiple times a day.
Chicks 1 and 2 hatched just before dawn Friday morning.
and I could see a beak.
By noon, Chick #3 had hatched and all of them were screaming for food.
and don't seem to mind my intrusion around the nursery.
so I'm thinking they know a good thing when they see it.
Be glad they are mocking birds or bluejays (eastern) .... my mother use to wear my brother's play-football helmet to the clothes line when we were kids. She didn't even know where the nest was, but being in the back yard near the tree-line was enough to start the bird's dive bombing behavior. I've been bombed by the mocking birds in the past few years.
Love the pictures. The babies should soon imprint on the parents and they may stop reacting to you and the camera. I check on the blue bird nest and the babies will call to me for the 1st day, and then they will hunker down like I'm a predator (even if I chirp to them).
Can't wait to see them fledge. Getting out of that nest might be a bit tricky!
That's neat, can't wait to see them leave the nest. Surely, they'll hang around long enough for a photo op.
so cute! you are a nature reporter now!
You need a trail cam. We could have watched them hatch.
Everything looks so green there. We need rain.
You got them on hatch day! Bravo! I have stalked numerous bird nest pre- and post-hatching over the years and seeing new life up close and personal like this is so much fun. Great photos!
Nest full of open mouths, that's what baby birds are :) Love the pics. We had a robin's nest on windowsill two years ago (not really a good spot). Both humans and cats enjoyed the show while it lasted.
Mother Nature at her finest. Looking forward to watching the chicks grow and fledge.
Wow, those are some great shots of those babies!
Oooo, the chicks hatched!!! How exciting!!!
I missed so much in a couple of days...catching up now! hee hee!
Love that foto where the little birds are screaming for food :) We have a bird house right next to our kitchen window on a bichtree. Just waiting to see little ones paiping out there.
